Children's Health
Metabolic Syndrome Common in Obese Kids
June 25, 2008 -- By ages 12 to 14, half of obese children have metabolic syndrome, a group of risk factors that predicts heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
The finding, by University of Miami researcher Sarah E. Messiah, PhD, MPH, and colleagues, isn't trivial. More than 17% of children aged 8 to 14 were obese in 1999-2002, when the data were collected.

Even at ages 8 to 11, as many as 9.5% of obese children already have metabolic syndrome. That means they have at least three of these risk factors: abnormally large waist size, high blood-sugar levels, low levels of HDL "good" cholesterol, high blood fat levels, and high blood pressure.
"If a kid is age 8 with metabolic syndrome, it will take 10 years or less for that child to become a type 2 diabetic or develop heart disease," Messiah tells WebMD. "So as these kids enter adulthood, they could be faced with an entire life of chronic disease."
Obese kids aren't dropping dead in their teens, but by then, many have serious heart problems, says John K. Stevens Jr., MD, a cardiologist at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta's Sibley Heart Center.
Stevens sees more and more teens with dangerously high blood pressure that is reshaping their hearts. He sees teens with dangerously high levels of blood fats. He sees teens with plaque streaking the walls of their arteries. And he sees teens far down the road toward type 2 diabetes, a major risk factor for heart disease.
"I am very fearful that in the next 10 to 20 years we will have an explosion of type 2 diabetes and coronary artery disease as these very young, very obese kids become 20-year-olds and 30-year-olds," Stevens tells WebMD.
The problem isn't a heart disease epidemic. It's a child obesity epidemic, Stevens says -- and Messiah's numbers lead to the same conclusion.
The analysis comes from combined data on some 1,700 children ages 8 to 14 collected from 1999 to 2002 as part of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). The main findings:
- About 17% of boys and girls ages 8 to 11 and 12 to 14 are overweight or obese.
- Between 6.5% and 9.5% of overweight 8- to 11-year-olds have metabolic syndrome, depending on how the data are adjusted to account for sex, age, and ethnicity.
- Between 26.3% and 52.4% of overweight 12- to 14-year olds have metabolic syndrome.

Summertime, and the livin' is easy for us theater mavens.
Shakespeare remains the official playwright of the season, of course, with Bard festivals breaking out everywhere from Santa Cruz to Ashland. Still, the Bay Area theater scene is such a vibrant and eclectic place that this summer's most highly anticipated shows run the aesthetic gamut from Jon Robin Baitz and Neil LaBute to Harold Pinter and Oscar Wilde.
For the record, the most buzzed-about production of all involves Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart starring in the pre-Broadway run of "No Man's Land" at Berkeley Rep. But if you can't score tickets to it, don't fret.
Local stages are on fire this summer. Indeed, there is so much happening right now that even tempting fare such as the SF Playhouse revival of Mike Leigh's "Abigail's Party," the American premiere of Mark O'Rowe's "Terminus" at the Magic and the West Coast debut of Colman Domingo's "Wild With Happy" at TheatreWorks didn't quite make the cut. Check out these five hot picks for summer:

Lost Arts: Seamstress alters customers' lives with needle, thread
Published: Saturday, December 29, 2012 at 4:05 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, December 29, 2012 at 4:05 p.m.
The faded white sign outside reads "Dora's Sewing & Alterations."
Editor's note:
This is the fourth in a series of articles looking at old-fashioned arts and skills. Coming next: Making instruments.
Photo Galleries
The lettering is so weather-beaten it can be difficult to read driving by, but most of Dora Smith's customers would know where she was without a sign. She's been in her shop for 12 years and has played an integral part in the special moments and everyday lives of many in the Gaffney community.
"Some of the girls started coming when they were small, and now she's doing their weddings," Michael Smith said of his wife.
Dora, sitting in front of one of the eight sewing machines that line the walls of her wood-paneled shop, laughed a little.
"Yeah, they come in here with their jeans and dance costumes, then it's pageant dresses and proms and then wedding dresses," she said.
Michael and Dora joke that her husband is her security and errand runner, and Michael is quick to give the credit for talent to his wife.
Dora's windowless shop is small and every square inch is filled with clothing and the tools of her trade. Some of the clothes are tucked in cubby holes and filed by the first letter of the customer's last name, but many more drape every available inch of counter and hanging space. Pinned to nearly every one is a hand-written note. "Take in waist and shorten sleeves," reads the note on the lapel of a man's sports coat.
There's not a lot that can be done with material and a needle and thread that Dora can't do, but most often she finds herself hemming and replacing zippers on everything from jeans to purses. Especially in the winter, everyone seems to break the zippers on their jackets, she said.
"Everything" is her favorite part of her job.
"I always have liked sewing," she said.
Her mother taught her to sew when she was young, and she took a job in the Oxford sewing plant making pants, shirts and jackets for many years. When the plant closed, she opened an alterations shop in her home, but she needed more space and moved to her current location.
More than repairing, Dora creates fashion and home décor items in her shop as well. People just bring her fabric and tell her what they want, and she goes to work. Behind the counter, Dora keeps a scrapbook of some of her creations. Elegant wedding gowns and American Revolution-era costumes for re-enactors are prominently featured.
"I usually ask them to at least bring me a picture, but there's always something that's not quite right, and I get together with them and work it out. … It's a challenge," she said.
One of her most challenging projects was a wedding dress that a customer bought despite not liking the neck line. She asked Dora to convert it into a strapless gown. Worried about ruining a bride's dress, Dora said she tried to talk the woman out of the alteration, but accepted the job when the bride-to-be insisted.
"I had to cut that dress all up," she remembered.
The result was a beautiful strapless dress and a very happy bride, she said. Watching people try on their clothes is a very rewarding feeling, Dora said.
"We always try to do a good job," she said. "I say if I'm not satisfied there's no way my customer will be satisfied."
Dora longs for a larger shop where she can add monograming to her repertoire, but for now the crowded shop on Cherokee Avenue is made to work. Though once a popular and in-demand profession, now Dora has a virtual monopoly on the alterations business in Gaffney. People think it's easier and quicker to buy something off the rack at the store, Dora said. She has thrived because of a loyal client base, recommendations and a lack of competition. Customers come from Union, Spartanburg and parts of North Carolina, she said.
As the economy faltered, Dora said she experienced a slight increase in business as people fished into the back of their closets and decided it was cheaper to have something altered than buy new. She's seen at least one pair of jeans come in her door as hippie-style bell bottoms and go back out with a modern boot cut.
"The benefit to having clothes custom made for you is they fit you exactly," she said.

Parishes could approve homes
Published: Tuesday, April 29, 2014 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, April 29, 2014 at 11:26 p.m.
BATON ROUGE - A dispute in Allen Parish over the potential location of a group home for mentally ill youth is spilling into the Legislature.
Rep. Dorothy Sue Hill, D-Dry Creek, is proposing to require parish governing authority approval of such group homes in Vernon, Allen and Beauregard parishes.
The bill awaits a vote on the House floor.
The Advocate reports (http://bit.ly/1pLJPFK ) that the state Department of Health and Hospitals is opposing the measure, fearful of its ramifications on state mental health needs.
Therapeutic residential group homes are part of care options state officials say they need for the treatment of the mentally ill.
DHH Secretary Kathy Kliebert worries the Hill legislation could get other parishes added and create discrimination that conflicts with federal law.

What would it take for Twitter to be part of the mainstream?
That's what I wondered after the company's shares plummeted last week following its second earnings report as a public company.
The microblogging site reported that user growth in the three-month period that ended in March was 25 percent, down from the previous quarter's user growth of 30 percent.
In addition, another key metric -- the number of times users refresh their pages to look at tweets -- grew by 15 percent. But that was also down from 26 percent and may be a sign that users are less engaged with the service.
Last week, Ben Schachter, an analyst with Macquarie Capital, wrote in a note that Twitter, valued at $30 billion, "must reaccelerate its user base if it is ever to grow into its valuation." The competition is stiff and it's not clear how the company can do it, he said.
Twitter CEO Dick Costolo told analysts that the microblogging site has already become part of the mainstream, countering the impression that it's a hangout for elites and influencers who like to talk to each other. As evidence, Costolo said that tweets from the Academy Awards show were viewed three billion times.
It's true that Twitter handles are woven into every news, sports and entertainment event. But that doesn't mean the masses are jumping on Twitter to engage.
"Twitter is struggling with understanding what it is and what it wants to be when it grows up," said Debra Aho Williamson, an analyst at eMarketer, a market research firm.
In a December column, I said Twitter is a chaotic, confusing service that is daunting to many newcomers and that it needed to do more to make it easier for people to join and figure out how to use it.
And that continues to be an issue.
But there may be a bigger issue than bringing in more people to try out the service: Making sure that Twitter is essential to users, something they really can't get anywhere else.
Facebook users swear that the service is critical, a way to check in with their many social circles, as well as share and find interesting news.
LinkedIn has carved out a critical niche as the professional network.
Even new sites like Secret and Whisper have found their calling as the places to go to hear underground conversations.
But Twitter? It's a jumble of voices that are part of a network of very loose connections.
Some people like Twitter's channel surfing aspect, the randomness and the rabbit holes they fall into.
But for others, Twitter offers all the downsides of channel surfing, without the payoff. Many just give up.
Brian Wieser, a senior analyst at Pivotal Research Group, is not convinced I'm right about Twitter's need to expand dramatically.
"It's just not for everyone," Wieser said. "Users are not the important metric to focus on. Of course, you don't want them falling off a cliff." What's more important than users is how the service is delivering to advertisers, he added.
But I am sure Costolo cares about the number of users and user engagement. That is key to advertisers. Becoming mainstream instead of a kooky outpost or a place where the elites chatter has to be Twitter's end goal.
What is going to be Twitter's unique calling card? It can't just be the water cooler anymore. On any given hot topic, my Facebook friends are having the same discussion as the people I follow on Twitter.
I don't know how Twitter should become mainstream and really accelerate user growth and retention.
But it needs to find a way to be essential to those who give it a try.

Luther Philip Hoesten, 91
Published: Saturday, November 17, 2012 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, November 16, 2012 at 3:28 p.m.
FAIRFAX, VA— Luther Philip Hoesten, 91, of Fairfax, VA, died peacefully in his home on Veteran's Day, 11 November 2012.
Mr. Hoesten was born May 4, 1921 in Queens, NY, and was a loving husband, father, and grandfather. He was preceded in death by his parents Philip and Pauline Ida Hoesten; his sister Edna Hoesten Eifert; and his wife of 65 years, Annona Hopper Hoesten. He was a soldier who loved his country, and a P-47 fighter pilot who flew 78 combat missions with the 492nd Fighter Squadron in Europe during WWII. Immediately after the war, Mr. and Mrs. Hoesten were married in Nashville, TN. He designed and built their home in Bridgeport, CT where they raised their family, and he worked for Sikorsky Aircraft. They retired to Etowah, NC, and later joined their daughter's family in Fairfax, VA.
He is survived by his daughter Mrs. Susan H. Watson of Fairfax, VA; son Mark S. Hoesten of Columbus, OH; two granddaughters: Lauren Watson Hanyok of Reston, VA; and Erin Leigh Muessig of Centreville, VA, and great granddaughter Vin Annona Muessig.

All members of Team Wales are to be given Mr Wolf's number and are to be watched over by Chief Executive Roger Lewis to make sure it goes in their phones.
It follows a recent epidemic of Welsh stars determined to press the self-destruct button on their careers by epically failing to have a normal quiet night out with friends without it finishing up with sirens, tear gas and depressing column inches in the papers.
Mr Wolf has been hired by the WRU following his impressive work for Marcellus Wallace in Pulp Fiction assisting John Travolta and Mace Windu in disposing of a body with military precision.
His role will be to sit at home waiting for a call from a Team Wales member along the lines of "Er…hello? Is that Mr Wolf? I've er…let myself down". This will then see him leap into action and arrive on the scene of whatever desolation has been caused and do whatever is necessary to mop it all up before the press and the rozzers get wind of it.
Members of the public who attend nightclubs, journey on trains or hang around the M4 hard shoulder in the middle of the night are advised that if Mr Wolf approaches them and says "If you talk about this to anyone the last thing you see will be your intestines being worn around my neck like a mutherfudgin' Hawaiian Elvis", they should be reassured that he does very much mean it.

4.5-13 Unjust Enrichment (Restitution)
Revised to January 1, 2008
In the __ count, the plaintiff
claims the defendant was unjustly enriched. <Refer to verdict form.>
Any damages you award on the plaintiff's unjust enrichment claim are
determined by the value of the benefit the plaintiff provided to the
defendant. In other words, the amount of unjust enrichment is the value to
the defendant of <insert property received or services rendered> to
the defendant. The plaintiff must prove the fair and reasonable value of
the <insert property received or services rendered> to the
defendant. That value should be measured in terms of the benefit the
defendant received by not providing proper compensation to the plaintiff for
<insert goods/services provided>.

In today's blue and blurry edition of Speak Up on Kotaku, commenter Monsieur.Froid suggests that Sonic the Hedgehog worked much better as a console mascot than a multiplatform star.
I think one of the biggest problems with Sonic and the current Sonic games is that he doesn't represent anything anymore. In the 90s, Sonic was a symbol for Sega. He was the mascot for the Genesis, moved on and tried to keep the Saturn afloat. The arguably last great Sonic game was Sonic Adventure for the Dreamcast, which was, again, a Sega system. He was their exclusive. Nintendo had Mario, PlayStation had Spyro and Crash, and Sega? Sega had Sonic. Sure, there was the character from NiGHTS, but how many people remember that in comparison to who remembers Sonic and Mario?
Nowadays, Sonic is just a character left hanging in the wind. Sony has Nathan Drake, Ratchet and Clank, Sly Cooper, Solid Snake (who happens to be more fluid in terms of mascot allegiances, but still really stands strong with Sony) and Kratos. Microsoft as the Gears of War guys and Master Chief. Nintendo still runs strong with Mario, Samus and Kirby. Among all of these, we still have Sonic, and while he's played on all of the systems, it seems like Nintendo has made a home for him on the Wii.
Sonic isn't his own character anymore. He's just...a latchkey kid.

Passengers in Lufthansa First Class have long appreciated the fine wines served on board. They can choose from a wine list of four red and four white wines that will change monthly.
Whenever the selection of wines allows it, we will be serving one red and one white wine that are a little bit out of the ordinary under the slogan 'off the beaten track' alongside our fine wines from the classic wine-growing regions. These special discoveries may be quite unusual and from special varieties of grapes, but also first-class wines which are only produced in small quantities.
When it comes to selecting the wines, Lufthansa collaborates with one of the most well-known international experts, Markus Del Monego. He was the first and so far the only German Sommelier World Champion in 1998 and also holds the coveted title 'Master of Wine'. Together with other wine experts, he carries out blind tastings as many as 12 times a year in order to find fine wines, which will satisfy the most discerning palates, even under the conditions on board an aircraft. In doing so, he places as much importance on the wishes and preferences of our passengers as on the latest trends in wine.
It's not only wine connoisseurs and wine lovers among our passengers who should be delighted by this new selection – every First Class passenger will have the wonderful opportunity to enjoy wines with special character. The flight attendants will not only offer a recommendation with the menu, but will also gladly help passengers choose their wine by letting them sample some.
This extraordinary First Class wine selection makes every flight an even more enjoyable experience.
Our wine list
Here you'll find details of our current red and white wines.

A Dover police officer cited the parents of a 3-year-old girl with child endangering after he saw the girl alone and crying on the porch of her W. Seventh Street residence at about 1 p.m. Sunday.
Officer Shawn Gribble said he watched the child for a few minutes, noticed there didn't appear to be any adults around, then got out of his cruiser to investigate. The girl cried out, "Mama, Mama, Mama," as he approached.
Gribble searched the entire residence with the girl, and no one else was there.
However, while in the house he saw two burners on the stove had been left on high heat, with a pan of food boiling on one, and a pan with nothing in it on the other. He also saw two large knives on the kitchen counter.
Gribble said he had been in the house about three minutes when other police officers arrived. He said the appearance of their police cruisers attracted the attention of the child's 23-year-old mother, who had been next door at a relative's house, and she returned home.
The child's father, 27, who had been at a soccer event, also returned at about the same time.
Through a translator, Gribble said the mother told officers that she had been at the relative's house for about five minutes. He noted that the father said he would never leave the child unattended and apologized.
In addition to issuing the citations, Gribble is sending a report of the incident to Children's Services employees at the Department of Job and Family Services.

Romeo, Wherefore Art Thou Hopeful?
I'm a 43-year-old Romeo. Seriously. At the ripe, sweet age of 43, I'm playing the star-crossed lover in the Shakespeare classic. It was a surprise to me when the director casting this production asked me to play young Romeo. When I stop to think about it, it cracks me up. I mean, this character typically is seen as a horny, brash teenager on the brink of becoming a man and discovering true love.
Ah, true love! It's a common enough phrase and yet I do believe it's not actually all that common in our world.

Conditions are variable in the British Columbia / Western Boreal Forest Region, where large flocks of wintering waterfowl can be found around the Fraser River Delta and along the east coast of Vancouver Island. Winter has been dry and warm in the Prairie Region. In Alberta, temperatures and snowpack accumulations have set record extremes in some areas. Although Saskatchewan is expecting little spring runoff, wetlands may still benefit from carry-over water from last summer. Carry-over water is also supporting wetlands in Manitoba, although some seasonal basins could be in jeopardy. It has also been a warm winter in the Eastern Region, where total precipitation has varied but Ontario and Atlantic Canada have received more rain than snow.
British Columbia / Western Boreal Forest
Although the winter started off drier and warmer than usual along the coast, conditions have become wet and cool, which is typical for this region. Current predictions are calling for a weak-to-moderate La Niña pattern lasting into the spring. Snowpacks are currently below normal but more snowfall is expected over the next few months. Waterfowl are acquiring nutrients from estuary habitats as well as remnant crops and grass in local fields. Large flocks of wintering waterfowl can be found around the Fraser River Delta and along the east coast of Vancouver Island, including snow geese, American wigeons, trumpeter swans, mallards, northern pintails and many others.
British Columbia
In the central Interior, snow conditions are variable overall and below average at lower elevations. Temperatures have been mild, with several thawing events reducing snow even further. The prospects for the spring runoff are fair. Snow conditions have recently improved in the southern Interior, but are still below average at low and moderate elevations. The prospects for the spring runoff are fair. Snow conditions are about average in the southeast Interior.
In the Peace region, although high-elevation snowpacks are normal, snow conditions are significantly below average at low elevations, where many areas are almost bare. Temperatures have been above normal for most of the winter. The prospects for spring runoff are not promising, as fall soil conditions were relatively dry, making for a poor frost seal. Conditions could improve with some heavy, wet snowfalls. Fortunately, most DUC wetland projects went into fall in good condition thanks to heavy mid-summer precipitation. Vegetation conditions were also good in the fall, which should provide good residual cover for early nesters next spring.
Snowpack in the Yukon appears to be average overall. There's roughly one foot of snow on the ground in the Whitehorse area, but three-to-four feet. in the mountains. Temperatures have fluxuated, with some very warm days and a few more-typically cold ones.Temperatures have also varied in the Northwest Territories, where the snowpack is average to slightly above average. Southern areas experienced above-freezing temperatures in late December and early January, and Trout Lake was 3 C in mid January.
Across northern portions of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, snowpack conditions are average to slightly above average. Only the northernmost edge of Alberta has had good snow coverage. In northern Alberta, the ground in and around Edmonton is brown. Very little snow has fallen, which is cause for concern. Further north, conditions are much better in terms of snow depth.
Temperatures have varied greatly in northern Saskatchewan, where temperatures were above 0 C in December and early January before dropping to -40 C and lower recently. Snow depth in Prince Albert is 11 cm while it is in the mid-40s in La Ronge.
In northern Manitoba, there is approximately 37 cm snow on the ground in The Pas, which is five cm above the average for this time of year. Since October, The Pas has received roughly 18 percent more precipitation than usual, while experiencing above-normal average temperatures. Some snow was consolidated with a rainfall event on January 9.
Prairie Canada
According to Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development, "Most of Alberta has been experiencing unusually warm and dry winter weather, with temperatures and snowpack accumulations for some areas at record extremes over the entire period of observation (1961-2011)." Conditions prior to winter were also dry, resulting in average or well-below-average soil moisture in much of the province at freeze-up. Most areas had a poor to fair frost seal.
Precipitation totals for the winter (November 1, 2011 to present) have generally been below normal across the agricultural zone of the province. Precipitation totals varied from <40 to 60 percent of normal in the Prairie region, and a similar precipitation pattern continues into the Aspen Parkland and Boreal Transition Zone (BTZ).
Snow accumulations are slightly higher in the Peace Parkland, where precipitation totals have been 60-85 percent higher than normal.There is currently minimal snow cover in the Prairie region, from north of Hanna to the United States border. Alberta Environment reports average to slightly-above-average snowpack in the southern mountains, which supply southern irrigation districts. In the Aspen Parkland, there is approximately three-to-eight cm of snow on the ground, with accumulations decreasing from west to east. Similar accumulations have occured in the BTZ. The southern Peace Parkland has five to 10 cm of snow on the ground, while the northern portion of the Peace has 20-30 cm.
Temperatures have been average to well above average from September 2011 to present. In December, average monthly temperatures were 5 C above normal. Temperatures have remained warm into January, with daytime highs reaching above freezing in much of the province. Warm, dry conditions are forecast to continue into early February.The usual wintering waterfowl are present on open water areas associated with power plants, rivers and reservoirs. Winter snowfall has been well below normal in most areas of the province, while temperatures have been well above normal. Snowfall amounts vary. Most areas have 1-5 cm of snow on the ground, including key waterfowl areas such as the Missouri Coteau and Thickwood Hills, while the Allan/Dana Hills and Touchwood Hills have 15-30 cm.
Record highs have been set in places like Maple Creek (southwest), where temperatures reached 12 C in late January. In February, temperatures are expected to be above normal, with average daytime temperatures being –5 to 5 C.Despite the dry fall and winter, wetlands conditions could improve. Carry-over water from last summer will help, and although current predictions are calling for little runoff in most areas, this can change quickly on the Prairies.
The lack of snow cover has some producers concerned about winter kill of winter wheat. However, most models show that temperatures have not been cold enough for an extended enough period of time to produce widespread winter kill. The lack of precipitation from the summer and fall has continued. Winter precipitation has been well below normal across southern Manitoba, including in primary breeding areas. Snowpack is minimal and is largely limited to wooded areas and ditches, although it does improve slightly in the northern reaches of the Minnedosa/Shoal Lake pothole region.
Despite the dry conditions, some permanent basins remain in favourable condition due to last spring's flood events. Temporary wetlands, however, are more vulnerable to seasonal fluctuations and are showing the negative effects of the prolonged dry spell. Increased snowpack and spring precipitation will be required for these ponds to function as spring pair ponds.
Temperatures were unseasonably warm in December and January. December saw average temperatures of >5 C above normal, and January temperatures were similar. Warmer temperatures are proving positive for winter wheat growers. However, if cold temperatures return and dry conditions persist, their crops may be at risk of freezing due to the lack of an insulating snowpack.
Eastern Region
December temperatures exceeded normal, in some cases by as much as 5.5 C, which hasn't occured since 2006. Precipitation was normal to above normal in southern Ontario, while northern Ontario was drier than usual. Along with the warm temperatures, a large percentage of December precipitation fell in the form of rain. Snowfall amounts ranged from below normal to normal levels.
In January, most of southern Ontario experienced no snowpack to very little. Most areas in the southwest did not had a good frost seal and many tile drains continue to run freely with every rainfall event. Warmer-than-normal temperatures and average-but-erratic precipitation events resulted in abundant frozen sheet water across fields in the agricultural zone of the province. Northern Ontario has experienced milder-than-normal temperatures as well, with extreme highs and lows. Snowpack conditions throughout northern Ontario remain above normal for this time of year. Marshes, ponds and lakes iced over slightly later than usual.Wetlands throughout Ontario, with the exception of the extreme southwest, are full of water and at their maximum holding capacity. If decent spring rains occur, spring waterfowl pairing habitat should be good. If not, below-average habitat conditions can be anticipated.
Of particular note is the lack of ice formation on the Lower Great Lakes. With the exception of a few days in January, most of these lakes have been completely ice free, including the shoreline zones. As a result, an above-average number of waterfowl remain staging on the near-shore areas of the Lower Great Lakes.
Throughout most of the province, December and January were warmer than usual. December precipitation was below normal in most areas, including the Ottawa River Valley, which received 44 percent less snow than usual. Total precipitation was close to normal in January, and Montreal and north shore regions had 30 percent more rain than usual. Overall, snowpack is below normal throughout the province. At the Sorel Station, the St. Lawrence water level is approximately 20 cm higher than normal.
Habitat conditions remain good throughout the province. Cold temperatures and more snowfall will help maintain good conditions for the spring season.The winter has been particularly warm. There has been little precipitation, with more rain falling than snow.
Atlantic Canada
Temperatures reached above freezing in January, with one day reaching a balmy 10 C. These mild days were often followed by a plunge in temperature, which has resulted in a layer of ice covering the ground. Many areas have had no snow cover.The Saint John River it is likely to swell less than normal this spring. Early shallow-water feeding opportunities may be in short supply for migrants and early breeders. Lower water level may decrease food availability for staging birds.
Given the lack of snow to act as insulation, coupled with several freeze-thaw cycles, there is thick ice in many areas - as thick as 16-inches in New Brunswick. The long-range forecast is calling for mixed precipitation and temperatures around the freezing mark. Wetlands are expected to remain frozen for a while yet. Depending on spring weather, it may be a later thaw than normal in spite of the warmer winter temperatures.
Though the freshet volume will likely be lower than normal this year, most impoundments will continue to operate at normal spring water levels. Overall, habitat conditions are good in Atlantic Canada.

- Thompson: Oracle Arena can't pull out miracle rally
- Warriors rally but fall to Clippers 98-96
- Warriors notebook: Golden State has no answers inside
- Thompson: Warriors need more than Curry in their arsenal
- Kawakami: History shows Warriors can't afford a home-court playoff loss
OAKLAND -- The two-day layoff between Game 2 and Game 3 of the Warriors' first round playoff series with the Los Angeles Clippers is good for aching bodies, but not so much for bruised egos.
Golden State forward David Lee said he wishes the Warriors could've played again Tuesday night after getting drubbed by 40 points Monday in Los Angeles.
"After losing the game the way we did in Game 2, I was ready to get right back on the court and have a back-to-back to get that one out of my mind," Lee said before Thursday's morning shootaround. "The schedule is the way that it is and it does let you recover and get some treatment."
The extra rest could be important considering the physicality of the series, which isn't likely to change as the series resumes in Oakland.
"They're a physical team in general so they're going to continue to play that way," Warriors guard Steve Blake said of the Clippers. "It's a part of the game and we'll have to adjust to their physicality a little bit."
There will be another two-day gap before the Warriors and Clippers meet in Game 4 on Sunday afternoon.
Stephen Curry said earlier this week that he felt fine physically after taking several blows during Monday's loss, but the early days off certainly can't hurt the Warriors' star point guard who will need to bring plenty of energy and offensive firepower for Golden State to regain the edge in the series.

Top Performance #3: Nagy Leads Men's Tennis to HEB Tournament of Champions Title
Peter Nagy made Islanders history on May 1 when he was selected as one of 64 participants in the singles portion of the NCAA Championships. But it was Nagy's consistent performance and strong work ethic throughout the season that helped him reach the historic accomplishment. One of those performances ranks as the No. 3 performance from the 2012-13 school year.
The Budapest, Hungary native went 3-0 including two wins against ranked opponents in singles action to help the Islanders men's tennis team to their first ever HEB Tournament of Champions title. In the opener of the 47th annual event, Nagy made quick work of No. 47-ranked singles player Patrick Kawka, winning 6-1, 6-2, as part of the Islanders 4-1 win over No. 30 BYU. He then picked up a 6-1, 6-3 final at No. 1 singles against Jake Wynan of Louisiana - Lafayette to send the team to the finals of the tournament. In the title match, Nagy earned a 6-2, 7-5 final over No. 92 Ben Davis of Middle Tennessee to lead the Islanders to the crown.
Nagy had an impressive sophomore season for the Islanders. He completed his spring with an overall 16-4 record. He finished with a perfect 5-0 record in Southland Conference matches at the No. 1 singles position, never losing a set throughout league play. In the fall, he lost just one match, winning the Marco & Co. Islanders Open and the Rice Galleria Fall Invite, both ITA-sanctioned events, while reaching the Round of 16 at the ITA tournament.
The sophomore was an automatic qualifier for the NCAA singles portion of the NCAA Championships from the Southland after winning the conference championship at No. 1 singles and being ranked in the top 125 singles players in the nation. Nagy was named the Southland Player of the Year in addition to being a First Team All-Southland selection for both singles and doubles.

Jerome wrote: You've already had intercourse with the girl. The ideal setting for the power of the door, which is a power and control pattern, is right after you've had intercourse and you're in bed with the girl, and at this time hopefully you've set up the fact that you're also the man of her dreams and fulfil her emotional needs. You're fooling around in bed, you've already had a great time, and you go, "sweetheart, what's that over there?" and you point towards the door. And she'll say, "well you know, that's a door, silly." And you say, "yeah, you know.. I'm a real positive person, but.. I mean, can you imagine.. I mean, you don't know what can happen from day to day, when you think about it in your mind. I mean, what would happen if I walked out that door and the door closed and as the door closed, it slammed shut, and no matter what you did, you could not open the door and you knew that you would never be able to look into my eyes again and you'd never be able to hear my voice again and you'd never be able to feel my touch again." Ok, right here is where she starts going, "I don't like this door business at all." And at this time you just reassure her.. "ok, alright sweetheart, you're right. You really shouldn't think about the door and you really don't have to think about the door." So you go back to playing around with her some more. Have some more fun with her, bring her to another orgasm or whatever and say, "you know, a terrible thing happened the other day. My friend was hit by a truck. I mean, it was awful, by the time they got him to hospital he was dead. I can't believe it, you know? It's almost as if, it would be a horrible thing you know when you think about.." (point towards the door) "..that no matter even if you were to get that door opened and you were to search, that you could never find me again.." Then she starts freaking out. You calibrate more on that part of, "you will never be able to see me again, you'll never be able to hear my voice again."
"You'll never be able.. all that fun we had together, all those great times we had together, walking along the beach, hand in hand in the moonlight, we would never be able to do those things again and even if you were to open that door, you would search and you could never find." And she's at the point where she's saying, "no no I hate this door. Let's stop this door now, are you trying to upset me?" And you say, "oh, I'm sorry sweetheart, I'm just saying these are just things that are popping into my mind, ok?" So play around some more. Get her good and nice and hot again, fool around, have a good time with her, joke, and then then get back into the door and say, "you know, God, still you know, about life's tragedies.. I mean, I just keep on thinking how.." At this point you can already see that this is starting to make her feel uncomfortable. You want to create that sense in her that you can walk out and she'll feel terrible for the rest of here life. You want to anchor that response. I'll get up and she'll say, "well what are you doing?" And I'll say, "I'm going to the bathroom." I go up to the bedroom door and slam it. That right there will freak her out. Then I'll open the door and say, "oh, I'm sorry. You know, I'm sorry, I'm just playing with this door again. You know, you really shouldn't think about this door now and you really don't want to think about this door now."
Having anchored that sense of loss and pain to the door, you can trigger it whenever needed. Whatever negative behavior may come up that you want to stop, the first time you just get up and slam the door. Whether you walk out the door depends on the level of bullshit. On later occasions you can just indicate tbe door in some manner. The example Alex gives: If he's talking on the phone and getting any crap from her, and he knows the relation of where the door is to her desk, he says, "sweetheart, could you please turn right and take a look at what's over there.." and that was the end of the bullshit."

"You're moving from Windows to Linux. You've decided you want the stability, flexibility, and cost savings of Linux, but you have many questions in your head. Isn't Linux like Unix? Isn't Unix hard? Where do you begin to make sense of all of this? Is there a map you can follow?
This roadmap is designed to help you take the experience and knowledge that you already have in computing and redirect it to working in Linux. It's not the only reference you'll ever need, but it will help you get past some of your first obstacles and adjust to a new and, I think, exciting approach to computing. As you follow this roadmap, you'll discover many new resources to help you learn, troubleshoot, and manage Linux."

January 11, 2006
Despite Graniteville residents' protests and petitions, the Aiken County Council decided more than $300,000 in state money will be given to the county sheriff's department. News 12 was the only station on hand Tuesday night as more than fifty angry Graniteville residents turned out to protest the use of the money. It was allocated after last year's train collision, but there was a disagreement over whether the money should be used to buy new patrol cars for the sheriff's office.
Now, the sheriff's office has ordered 37 new cars. As News 12 reports, they're badly needed.
With scratches on the outside, a scuffed steering wheel on the inside and almost 230,000 miles, it's safe to say this Aiken County patrol car is worn out.
"Some vehicles get to the point where it's cheaper to replace them than repair them," said Michael Frank.
Tuesday night, the county council approved the funds to buy 37 new cars to replace ones like this 1996 Ford. It's a bigger number than usual, the sheriff's office typically replaces only a few rides every year.
"These vehicles are genuinely needed," Frank said.
Officers drive these cars 100-250 miles a day, and that doesn't just show up on the odometer, it also shows up under the hood. Problems with the ball joints and transmission are common on high mileage vehicles.
Officer Michael Frank says new cars are a matter of safety.
"By having newer vehicles, that allows our deputies to get to the call safely and to respond to the call for service," Frank said.
The new cars will go to officers throughout Aiken County to keep both them and you safe.
Those new vehicles should be ready in a few months.

How to Choose a Swim Training Fin
Swim training fins have many useful benefits, including use in physical rehabilitation, aqua aerobics, fitness
swimming and competitive training. Using a smaller training fin provides added resistance without overloading the
muscles joints, ligaments and tendons used in water exercise. Many fitness and competitive swimmers use long
scuba/snorkel fins as a training aid. Because the center of effort in a long fin is forward of the foot, the excessive
blade area and displaced center of effort may cause early fatigue or cramping, and encourage a "pedaling" motion
different than that used in a flutter kick. The concept of the short training fin was conceived to bring the center of
effort back to the foot, increase leg strength, and allow a swimmer to train with a kicking motion that is the same
as the flutter kick without a fin.
Why top coaches, aqua aerobics instructors, and world champion swimmers use training fins:

Valdosta, GA - Valdosta State rebounded from a tough weekend with a dominating performance against Albany State. The Blazers swept the Golden Rams, 3-0 (25-12, 25-19, 25-18) Tuesday night. With the win, VSU improves to 10-7 on the season while dropping the Golden Rams to 9-7.
Valdosta State used a balanced performance to put away Albany State. Four players had seven or more kills, led by Katie Onushko with 11. Tania Tauiliili had nine followed by Chelsea Logan and Jennifer Beatty with eight and seven kills respectively.
The Blazers were efficient too. Tauiliili led the team with a .389 attacking percentage. Onushko finished at .286 while Beatty hit .250. Destiny Berry finished attacking an eye-popping .625 with five kills on eight attacks with no errors.
Valdosta State finished the match hitting .299 for the team percentage and was at .364 for the first set compared to Albany State's -.278. Helping the percentage was setter Ashley Lala with two kills on three attacks for a .667. She also ran the offense, dishing 35 assists.
Defensively, the Blazers tallied five blocks and Onushko was in on four of them. Albany State, however, finished with 10 blocks led by ASU's Jillian Anderson. She had three solos and three assists.
Chelsea Luttfring led Valdosta State with nine digs. Lala chipped in seven while Beatty added six digs.
The Blazer defense held the Golden Rams to a mere .105 attacking percentage. Anderson led ASU in kills with eight while libero Jennifer Johnson led in digs with 13. Albany State's duo of setters combined for 19 assists, 11 from Desiree Hardy and eight from Kenya Jolicoeur.
"We really wanted to come out strong today against Albany State," said senior Macy Markham. "We needed a great performance and we were able to put one together."
Now the Blazers prepare for New Orleans and West Florida in Valdosta this weekend at 7 p.m. Friday and 2 p.m. Saturday.

Osube™ is a video mobile application, which allows users to personalize their very own animated introductions by using stock Osube™ templates to be integrated with user photos & type with animated background sequences. The end result are customized animated introductions called "Os", which users can then share later with other users.
We were first approached and commissioned by Osube™ to rebrand their logo. Once the final logo was presented, they were so happy with the end result that they decided to expand the relationship by commissioning us to customize and produce user animations, by creating a set of stock template animations to be later modified by the end user.
The following is a collection of work we produced for Osube™, both static and animated.

Handling is impressive
It's spacious enough to offer seating for six, easy to handle, and maneuverable enough to turn on a dime.
Great day boat for cruising around.
Baja kept the hull design of the 272 and made changes in the deck to create the 275.

|Baja Baja
Tested by Capt. Chris Kelly
Don't let the Baja 275 Performance fool you with her race boat looks, she's also a great day cruiser with a nice cuddy cabin. Without changing perfection, Baja kept the hull design of the 272 and made changes in the deck to create the 275. It's spacious enough to offer seating for six, easy to handle, and maneuverable enough to turn on a dime.
The cockpit area provides seating for up to six people. It has a well-padded bench seat aft of the operator and navigator chairs. Beneath the bench seat is a storage compartment that's self-draining. On both sides of the cockpit are armrests, handholds, and drink holders that are neatly integrated into the gunnels of the boat. The operator seat, and the passenger seat have drop down bolsters, which allow both parties to stand or sit while cruising. To port you'll find a small storage compartment for personal items, and CD player at arm's reach.
The helm of the 275 really has the look and feel of a high performance race boat, from the Gaffrig gauges trimmed in the famous Baja purple, to the tilt steering wheel…it's all there. And whether you're sitting or standing, the view from the helm is clear and unobstructed. The dash on the 275 is finished with an anti-reflective gray surface to reduce glare, which is a nice feature for those sunny days.
When it comes time to anchor there are two handy steps, and walk-through windshield, which lead up to the bow. A handy stainless grab rail runs up the center of the deck on the bow, and helps to get you there safely. Once up here there's good non-skid on the deck, and an anchor and rope locker with tie off brackets and stainless latches.
The Engine
The large engine hatch is a prominent feature on this boat, which also doubles as a plush sun pad for your guests. The engine box can be mechanically raised with the push of a button, allowing easy access to the engine compartment. The 425 hp MerCrusier is a large motor, but the engine compartment offers plenty of room to access the engine, battery, trim reservoir, and perform general maintenance duties.
Cabin Layout
Most high performance boats are tight on space in the cabin. The cabin on the 275 Performance is no exception, yet makes remarkable use of the space it does have. The cabin is comfortable and simple and can accommodate two for overnights. The main berth, when lifted has a large storage compartment that can also house a porta potti if needed. Features like a carbon monoxide monitor and lots of storage areas are a few of the nice touches Baja has added.
The 275 Performance has an overall length of 27 feet 2 inches, and beam of 8 feet 4 inches. With a dry weight of 4,400 lbs. she draws 3 feet 2 inches with the drives up. Like the rest of Baja's boats the 275 has a nice deep-v. With a deadrise at the transom of 24 degrees she has no problems with sliding through the turns, the 275 holds tight in a fast turn.
The handling of the 275 Performance is impressive as she turned on a dime at slow speed for close quarters maneuvering. The 425 hp MerCruiser 496 MAG HO coupled with the Bravo One drive delivered a top speed of 61.4 mph. We found her best cruise speed to be 40.1 mph, and with a 90-gallon fuel tank her range is 193 miles.
This 27-footer delivered an impressive top speed, all while maintaining her stability and slicing right through the chop. This Performance model makes a great day boat for cruising around with friends or spending an intimate night away.

When we decided to make a chip, well, let's just say we decided to really go for it. Behold the chip'ins, the first popcorn chip from your friends here at Popcorn, Indiana. These beauties are gluten-free, all-natural, zero trans-fat, and put in simplest terms, they're the goods. We hope you love them as much as we do, and yeah, we hope you become a little obsessed, too. We offer four distinct and delicious chip'ins flavors: Sea Salt chip'ins, White Cheddar chip'ins, Hot Buffalo Wing chip'ins, and Jalapeno Ranch chip'ins.
We hope you try all of our flavors, and please, let us know what you think! We can't wait to hear from you, and thanks again for hanging with us online! Be sure to Munch Better™.
