The goal of treatment is to get a normal level of thyroid hormone in your body. This is checked using a routine thyroid function blood test called a TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone). A normal range is around 0.4-4.5 mIU/L. This is reached by taking a replacement thyroid hormone by pill.
You will likely need thyroid hormone replacement for the rest of your life. The thyroid gland does not regrow.

That showtime has passed. Please try next available showtime.
USA, 2012, 89 Minute Running Time
Genre/Subjects: Art/Filmmaking, Documentary
Program: DocumentaryLanguage: English
DIRECTOR: Tom Donahue
Producer: Kate Lacey, Ilan Arboleda, Tom Donahue, Joanna ColbertEditor: Jill SchweitzerCinematographer: Peter BoltePrincipal Cast: Al Pacino, Clint Eastwood, Jeff Bridges, Robert Redford, Woody Allen, Glenn Close, Robert DeNiro
When we watch a movie, we most often focus on the direction, the actors, the music, and the scenery. But just where do these actors come from? This beautifully directed documentary from Tom Donahue (Guest of Cindy Sherman, SDFF 31) focuses on one of the unsung heroes of film and television—the casting director. Like film editors, casting directors are often left out of acceptance speeches, and they're not included in any Oscar category. But without a solid, creative, and intuitive casting director, most films and TV programs would look very different.
Under the studio system, casting for films was basically done by looks and categories—the dashing leading man, the pinup girl, the swashbuckler, the secretary. But after the system ended, casting was done by individuals who sought actors they thought would bring the most to the role—whether the studio "suits" thought it was a good decision or not.
And there lies the story of Marion Dougherty, whose 50-year career as a casting director is legendary. She was responsible for the early careers of James Dean, Robert Redford, Warren Beatty, Al Pacino, Jon Voight, and countless others. After starting out as an actress, she became a TV casting director in New York before moving to Los
Angeles to head up casting at major film studios. Casting By presents her work through interviews with Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Robert Redford, Martin Scorsese, Woody Allen, Robert Duvall, Diane Lane, Bette Midler, Dustin Hoffman, and many more. The film is filled with great clips from such modern classics as Midnight Cowboy, The Graduate, and The Last Picture Show. It's a treat for anybody who loves movies.

CONWAY, Ark. – The Texas A&M - Corpus Christi softball team put together a huge sixth inning and scored one run in the eighth to edge Central Arkansas 5-4 in extra innings Friday in the first of two games at Farris Field.
The Islanders (9-14, 5-4 SLC) outhit the Bears (25-12, 5-2) 10 to five en route to their fifth conference victory of the season. Senior Jordan Trujillo (4-5) picked up the win in relief for Greta Cecchetti.
Cassie Carroll, Stephanie Vead and Mickayla Heller led the Islanders with two hits apiece. Cassie Redman, Hannah Schwarz, Meagan McKinney and Hayley Galloway each tallied one hit apiece.
The Islanders' powerful bats came through in the top of the second. Jamise Jackson led things off with a walk before McKinney reached on an error to move Jackson to second. Carroll followed with a fielder's choice and Heller's base hit to third loaded the bases with two outs. Kelsie Armstrong pulled the Bears out of the inning with a strikeout to leave three Islanders stranded.
The Bears answered with two hits and two runs in the bottom of the third to take a 2-0 lead. Taylor Dear led the Bears bat's off with a single to left center and scored on a wild pitch after the Bears' two walks. Central Arkansas tacked on another run after a Katie McGregor rip to left field.
The Islanders tallied two hits in the fourth frame. Vead hit a shot between first and second with two outs. Carroll followed suit with a hit to the right side but the Bears ended the inning with two Islanders stranded.
Texas A&M - Corpus Christi responded with a huge four-run four-hit sixth inning. Jackson led the inning off with a walk before McKinney blasted a double to right field to score Jackson. McKinney advanced to third on a scoring error before Carroll's RBI single rolled through the left side to score McKinney and knot the score at 2-2. The Islanders tacked on two more runs to take a 4-2 lead. Heller reached base on a fielder's choice and Galloway singled to second base to move Heller to second. Schwarz loaded the bases with a fielder's choice before Galloway and Heller scored on two Bears' errors.
The Bears answered with two runs in the seventh frame on three hits to even the game at 4-4. Central Arkansas started the inning off with two bunts and followed with a double to left center.
In the eighth inning, Heller led off the frame with a single to third base and scored on a Hannah Schwarz sacrifice bunt.
Cecchetti registered her third straight six strikeout game. She limited the Bears to just two hits in four innings. Trujillo struck out one batter while allowing three hits in four innings.
Armstrong (14-8) took the loss in the circle for the Bears in six innings of play. She allowed six hits, three walks while striking out six batters.
The Islanders will look for the sweep tomorrow when the two teams face each other at 12 p.m. at Farris Field.

I want to join two existing DXF files (say, "no1.dxf" and "no2.dxf")
to create a new one (say, "no3.dxf") by "block insertion."
In the simplest case, only one instance of "no1.dxf" and "no2.dxf" are
inserted into "no3.dxf" without rotation, magnification, and transformation.
Then, the command line would look like
$ joindxf -i no1.dxf -i no2.dxf -o no3.dxf
How can I achieve this using "dxflib" ?

The potato blight that arrived in Europe in the summer of 1845 was, like the potato itself, an American export. The fungus that caused the blight was a microscopic organism that would not be identified scientifically for another fifteen years. But even after its identification, no effective treatment for the blight would be found till a Frenchman named Millardet would notice that roadside crops remained free of blight because they had been sprayed with copper sulphate and hydrated lime by French agriculturalists who wanted to keep poor people from stealing their property. It took Millardet three years to develop a commercially saleable pesticide. This was in 1885 – 40 years too late for the millions of desperately poor Irish farmers who relied on the potato for almost all their nourishment and who wouldn't, in any case, have been able to afford Millardet's invention.
The spores of the fungus traveled through the air with lightning speed whenever the weather was warm and wet, attacking crops, decimating whole fields within hours, and rotting the potatoes to a foul-smelling mush. This sudden stench was the thing most feared, for it announced to the farmer that his hopes for a harvest were dashed. But in Ireland, as nowhere else, the sickening odor, carried on the breeze of late summer, became the perfume of death itself.
In the Middle Ages, Ireland had been a place of fabulous agricultural fertility. The early Irish monks and nuns, who tried for a time to be as strict with themselves as the hermits of the Egyptian desert, found that it was just about impossible to starve properly in Ireland, because the country abounded in delicious food of all kinds – "leeks from the garden, poultry, game, salmon and trout and bees," as a salivating monastic poet of the seventh century put it. Indeed, Irish hospitality and generosity were legendary, for the Irish monks opened their doors and their cupboards to England and all Europe, educating whoever came to them without charging for tuition, books, room, or board.
But by the eighteenth century, Ireland had become what we today would call a Third World country, a colony of England, in which all the good land had been taken from the Irish by English planters – a place where everything from seed to salmon streams was owned by others, and the Irish had become unwanted poachers and vagrants on the rich soil that had once been theirs. The economic rape of Ireland began with its forests, the thick stands of trees that once covered every hillside and provided the habitat for Ireland's abundant game. The Irish nobility, understanding that there was no future for them, took flight, gentlemen often taking military commissions in continental armies and founding new businesses like Hennessy Cognac in France. They left behind them a dispirited population of peasants who could do nothing but watch their world come to an end. A Tipperary poet of this period bemoans the flight of the local Irish lord and the ruin of his castle in these words:
What shall we do for timber?
The last of the woods is down.
Kilcash and the house of its glory
And the bell of the house are gone,
The spot where the lady waited
Who shamed all women for grace
When earls came sailing to greet her
And Mass was said in the place.
My grief and my affliction
Your gates are taken away,
Your avenue needs attention,
Goats in the garden stray.
The courtyard's filled with water
And the great earls where are they?
The earls, the lady, the people
Beaten into the clay.
In the early nineteenth century, Alexis de Tocqueville, who toured Ireland three years after his American travels, wrote to his father:
You cannot imagine what a complexity of miseries five centuries of oppression, civil disorder, and religious hostility have piled on this poor people.... [The poverty is] such as I did not imagine existed in this world. It is a frightening thing, I assure you, to see a whole population reduced to fasting like Trappists, and not being sure of surviving to the next harvest, which is still not expected for another ten days.
And this was in 1835, ten years before the Famine began!
Pushed further and further away from their dark ancestral fields, the majority of Irish farmers found themselves trying to feed their families from ever smaller plots, so arid and stony that no one else wanted them, sometimes, as one old song has it, even attempting to plow the rocks themselves. Dispossessed of their property because of their race, deprived of all civil rights because of their religion (including the right to object to anything that was being done to them), the "mere Irish," as the conquerors were fond of calling us, had sunk as low as possible. When former American slave Frederick Douglass visited Ireland in 1845 to rally support for the campaign to abolish slavery in America, he wrote of the Irish,

Saturday, Nov. 26 • 3 p.m. CT
Reed Arena (12,989) • College Station, Texas
RADIO: NewsRadio 1360 AM KKTX (Steven King)
The Texas A&M - Corpus Christi men's basketball team hits the road for a Saturday afternoon contest against its flagship university, Texas A&M, in College Station. The Islanders are 1-1 all-time against the Aggies, winning the contest in Reed Arena in 2003 but falling in last year's game at the American Bank Center.
The Islanders got the first win of the Willis Wilson era on Tuesday night, stunning Utah State at the American Bank Center with a 58-55 overtime win. Texas A&M - Corpus Christi improved to 1-2 on the season with the victory after winning the back-and-forth contest. The game featured 12 ties and 15 lead changes.
Texas A&M sits at 3-1 after splitting two games at Madison Square Garden as part of the 2K Sports College Classic. The Aggies are 2-0 at home this season, with wins over Liberty (81-59) and Southern (83-58) in College Station. Billy Kennedy is in his first season at the helm of the Aggies program after an impressive five-year run heading a Murray State team that went 54-14 over the last two years.
Myron Dempsey's layup with 7.1 seconds remaining sent the game to overtime, and a clutch Hameed Ali three-pointer in the extra session gave the Texas A&M – Corpus Christi basketball team (1-2) a lead it would not relinquish in a 58-55 win over Utah State (2-2) on Tuesday night at the American Bank Center. Dempsey posted a double-double with 16 points and 15 rebounds in the victory.
The win was the first in Willis Wilson's tenure as head coach of the Islanders program. Terence Jones added 14 points for the Islanders, including a 5-for-6 effort from the line, in the victory. Texas A&M – Corpus Christi had a season-low 12 turnovers on the game, just five after halftime. The Islanders improved to 13-5 all-time in overtime contests with the victory.
Texas A&M is currently ranked 24th in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll and 25th in the AP poll after a 3-1 start. At the 2K Sports Classic in New York last weekend, the Aggies went 1-1 with a loss to Mississippi State and a win over St. John's. Ray Turner (14.5), Elston Turner (12.0) and David Loubeau (10.5) are all averaging in double figures for A&M. The Aggies are also getting 7.5 rebounds out of Kourtney Roberson each contest.
This will be the third all-time meeting between the Islanders and Aggies. Last season, the two teams played at the American Bank Center, with the flagship campus of the A&M system taking an 86-65 victory. The Aggies got 16 points from Khris Middleton and 14 from Roberson in the win, as they shot 51.7 percent from the field.
But in 2003, the Islanders posted one of the biggest wins in school history, winning in College Station, 82-80. Brian Evans and Travis Bailey provided the 1-2 punch for the visitors in that contest, as Evans netted 21 points on 7-for-10 shooting, and Bailey added 22 points on 7-for-14 shooting, including a 4-for-7 effort from beyond the three-point arc. The Islanders survived a late surge by the home Aggies, as Texas A&M trimmed a 13-point deficit to just two points before time ran out in the comeback.
Texas A&M - Corpus Christi has never defeated a ranked opponent, holding an 0-9 record against the AP Top 25. Five of those nine matchups came against teams in the top 10, including three top-five opponents, while none were against teams ranked in the 20s. Last year, the Islanders were 0-2 against ranked foes, falling to No. 16 Memphis, 68-63, and to No. 6 Kansas, 82-41.
Junior college transfer Myron Dempsey has really emerged for the Islanders over the past two games, both on the offensive end and on the glass. Against Utah State, he delivered his finest performance, tallying a double-double with 16 points and 15 rebounds in leading the Islanders to the upset victory.
But looking closer at the stats, it is amazing to see just how Dempsey has collected his points this year. The St. Petersburg, Fla., native has averaged 12.3 points over the first three games, a total of 37 points. Of those, 34 have come from in the paint, including all 17 of his field goals. The junior's remaining three points have all come from the free-throw line.
The long, athletic rebounder is currently second in the Southland Conference with his 9.0 rebounds per game. Eleven of his 27 boards have come in the offensive end, and the junior has made the most of it, turning his efforts into a team-leading 13 second-chance points.
The Islanders point guard this season may be one of the smallest players in the Southland Conference, but what he lacks in size he more than makes up for in athletic ability. Houston native Johnathan Jordan stands just 5-foot-10, but his extreme athleticism and basketball IQ are the aspects of his makeup that are far more important to the Islanders.
At the end of the Denver game, he was a one-man wrecking crew. The freshman had two steals and eight points during a 10-0 run that drew the Islanders within three points with 26 seconds to play.
He has also emerged as a key distributor, leading the Islanders with his nine assists. Against Utah State, he set up Myron Dempsey's tying layup to send the game to OT, then found Hameed Ali on the right wing for the winning three-ball.
After being a role player in his first season for the Islanders, senior Chris Hawkins-Mast has emerged as the team's go-to guy on the offensive end. Hawkins-Mast led the Islanders with 23 points in the exhibition against UIW, then led all scorers in the game at Oklahoma State, netting 14. He followed that with seven boards and 10 points against Denver, including two on a thunderous dunk early in the game.
Hawkins-Mast has been arguably the hardest worker on the team, spending a tremendous amount of time on his jump shot outside of practice. The result has been a significant improvement in that area while still possessing his ability to get to the rim.
The native of Washington, D.C., attended a pair of junior colleges before landing at the Island University prior to the 2010-11 season. He went by the name "Chris Mast" a year ago, but chose to use his full legal name to honor his mother, whose maiden name is Hawkins.
Freshman Nate Maxey has been identified as the player with possibly the highest ceiling on the Islanders team, and he showed why at Oklahoma State. In his regular-season debut, the San Diego native had four blocks and seven rebounds in the first half.
He followed that up with another four blocks against Denver. All four efforts that he swatted away were on attempted layups. He is already 43 percent of the way to setting a new freshman record for blocks in a season – Carl Nelson swatted 21 attempts in 2005-06 – and is second in the conference at 3.0 blocks per game.
The athletic 6-foot-11 big man has a massive 7-foot-9 wingspan. In addition to his defense, he has scored four points in each of the first three games and is 6-for-8 from the field so far this season.

As the season of promise, each spring brings an annual celebration of life, Phoebe¹s Paver Dedication Ceremony. This event celebrates the past year's addition of more names to the paver bricks on the exterior walkway between the main hospital entrance and the hospital tower entrance.
These bricks provide a special way to memorialize the birth of a baby, a memorial to a loved one or a special "thank you" to a friend or medical professional. Then each spring, the dedication ceremony recognizes those who have added new bricks in the name of someone they wish to honor with a paver brick of their own.
You can add the name of someone special with a brick of their own with an inscription of two or three lines for a gift of $75. Imagine the thrill of a child first reading their name memorialized in a lasting tribute to their birth or the pride of a family seeing the name of a loved one permanently honored in this way.
As an added benefit, you'll know that your tax-deductible gift goes toward helping provide care for the patients we serve. For information on how you can add a name to the Phoebe Paver Program, click here or call the Phoebe Foundation at 229-312-4483.
This educational program is designed specifically for caregivers. It is intended to help you take care of yourself while caring for an older relative or friend. You will benefit from this class whether you are helping a parent, spouse, friend, someone who lives at home, in a facility, or across the country.

SANTA CLARA -- Only two teams in NFL history have posted a 6-0 record in prime-time games: the 2007 New England Patriots and 2007 Dallas Cowboys. The 49ers can match that feat Sunday night.
Beating the host Seattle Seahawks also would boost the 49ers' bid for a first-round bye, a prize the Patriots and Cowboys also enjoyed in 2007.
"We have a playoff berth, but we want the division (title) and also a first-round bye," linebacker Patrick Willis said. "It's a big game in more ways than one."
The 49ers (10-3-1) will win the NFC West with a victory, which could also clinch them a first-round bye if the Green Bay Packers lose or tie to the Tennessee Titans. Sunday night's win at New England clinched at least a wild-card berth for the 49ers.
"Last year it was really big to have those playoff games at home, to come as close as we did," Willis added. "We have amazing fans. Anytime you play at home, it's comfortable. It's something we want."
The 49ers' are a franchise-record 5-0 in prime-time, matching their win total from the past eight seasons combined in which they went 5-9 under the lights. The 49ers' previous best prime-time mark was 4-0, under second-year coaches George Seifert in 1990 and Steve Mariucci in '98.
Several players have reminisced how playing at night reminds them of their high school days. Running back Anthony Dixon said: "Back in those high school days, most of us, we were unstoppable. I love that feeling.
"He can play both the banging game, and he's got a little bit of athleticism, too, so he's a well-rounded player," defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said of Jean Francois. "He's the one guy on our front that can play all three spots."
The severity of Smith's elbow injury remains a mystery, and it's unknown if surgery is required.

Archie Byre
July 24, 1931 to May 1, 2016
Archie Kennard Byre, 84, died Sunday, May 1, 2016 in Minot.
His funeral service was held Thursday, May 5, 2016 at 10:30 a.m. at St. John the Apostle Catholic Church, Minot.
A Vigil Prayer Service was held Wednesday, May 4, 2016 at 5:30 p.m. at Thompson-Larson Funeral Home, Minot.
Archie Kennard Byre was born on July 24, 1931 on the parent's homestead in rural White Earth to Roal Johnson Byre and Olga Cecilia (Askvig) Byre. He commented often that he was born on the hottest day of the year "after Ma had baked 6 loaves of bread." That date still holds the record as the hottest day. He moved to rural Berthold in 1937 and attended Berthold Public School through ninth grade, when he went into farming with his father. He worked construction in the Minot Area for Shirley Construction, and later in Los Angeles, CA with his uncle Alfred Byre. He worked in California until he was drafted into the US Army to serve during the Korean War. After his return from the service he went to telegrapher school and went to work for Great Northern Railroad as a telegrapher working in various locations across North Dakota.
While working in Bainville, Montana Archie met the love of his life, Arlene Mahlen. After a whirlwind courtship they began their married life on September 24, 1959.
In 1962 he went to work for Great Northern Pipeline (later Portal Pipeline) where he worked until his retirement in 1993. That job took them to Maxbass, ND where he raised his family on a farm north of the town. After their retirement they spent their winters travelling south to Deming, NM and later Yuma, AZ, and their summers in North Dakota on the farm. They were able to travel to Norway and see the birthplace of his parents, including the church where his mother was baptized. They enjoyed their camping days and retirement memories a lot, taking many trips with his sisters, Ruthie and Evelyn.
Archie was a member of the American Legion, VFW, and Knights of Columbus, and served on the township board and school board for Maxbass.
He is survived by his wife of 56 years, Arlene Byre; children, Belinda (Mark) Vollmer of Minot, Archie Byre, Jr. of Maxbass, Royal (Renae) Byre of Burlington, Everett (MiSuk) of Gaithersburg, MD, and Eric (Kimberly) Byre of Stephen, MN; 16 grandchildren; three great-grandchildren, with another coming in July; siblings, Ruthie Rauschenberger, Ronald (Karen) Byre, and Marlene (Dick) Muse; sister-in-laws, Eunice Neshem, JoAnn (Paul) Picard, and Donna (Gib) Elkins; brother-in-laws, Joe Mahlen, Gordon Braaten, and Andy Eshenko; and numerous nieces and nephews.
Archie was preceded in death by his parents; sisters, Jenny Eshenko, Evelyn Rauschenberger, and Phyllis Braaten; his brother, Walter Hagen; parent-in-laws; brother-in-laws, Ralph Mahlen, Leonard Rauschenberger, Bill Rauschenberger, and Gerald Neshem; and special aunt and uncle, Petra and Alfred Byre.

What better way to capture the natural beauty of winter than to paint it? A handful of Paderewski Fine Art's top artists have created magical paintings to honor the magnificence of winter's light. Come and explore their diverse interpretations of the season. The exhibit features works by Ralph Oberg, Kyle Paliotto, Brent Cotton, Dan Young, Morgan Coleman, Steven Lee Adams and James Van Fossan.
The gallery is also proud to include works by new artist, George Gallo. Gallo, an accomplished screenwriter and director out of Los Angeles, has held a deep passion for painting for more than 20 years. Trained in the Pennsylvania Impressionist style, Gallo's works use light and its fragmentation to compliment the energetic presence of texture in his brushstrokes.
Paderewski Fine Art is located in Beaver Creek, on the Plaza level of the Hyatt, across from the ice rink. Call 970-949-6036 or visit www.paderewskifineart.com for more information.

Oregon's Deputy Schools Superintendent Rob Saxton announced today that Ashland School District's John Muir School was one of two Oregon schools to be named 2012 Title I Distinguished Schools under the federal Title I Distinguished Schools Program.
The program recognizes schools across the country for their innovation in helping low-income students achieve at high levels. Schools are recognized in the areas of "Exceptional Student Performance" and "Closing the Achievement Gap."
Also recognized was Greenway Elementary in the Beaverton School District. Both schools were also designated Model Schools this summer under Oregon's new accountability system.
John Muir School was recognized in the area of Exceptional Student Performance. John Muir is a K- 8 magnet school with a focus on outdoor education, the natural sciences and the arts. According to a state press release, with 58 percent of students eligible for free and reduced lunch, the school has a higher proportion of low-income students than the state overall, but John Muir students consistently score well above the state average in both reading and math. John Muir has received an "Outstanding" on the Oregon School Report Card for the past three years.
John Muir School and Greenway Elementary School will be honored at the National Title I Conference in Nashville, Tenn., in January and will receive a $5,000 award in recognition of their achievements.

Hi all!
I hope that you are having a comfortable and wonderful new year. Is any one else in here hoping to drop a few pounds? A few years back, there was a weight loss buddies thread, and I hoped it helped keep some people accountable. I know, it did for me!
I welcome anyone to share their weight loss goals here, and to check in as often as you would like. Currently, I am sitting at 160, which is 16 up from my last weight loss jaunt. However, I would like to get down to 140. I would like to accomplish this over the next three months.
So... that's me! I hope to hear from you all soon!
Warm Wishes
9/6/2010-170 10/17/2010 -162 10/24/2010-158.75 10/28/2010-156 11/7/10-155 11/21/10-154.5 11/24/10 152.75 11/28/10-151 12/5/10 -151.5 12/11/10- 148 1/16/11-148 1/23/11-146.5 1/30/11- 145 2/20/11-144.5 1.1.13-163
Lost so far: 25.5 lbs
Count me in. I knew a few pounds had crept on over the past few years but didn't realize how many until I had a physical for the first time in five years and found that I'd gained 17 pounds in the past six years-eeek. I'm on a mission to roll back the clock six years. I am 5'7 (also found out I've shrunk an inch:-(), currently 148 and my goal is 137. I've started exercising (started the couch 2 5k over the weekend) and have lost six pounds since the end of November. Last week I lost nothing which made me unhappy. Dieting my rear off (avid calorie counter) and hoping to see the scale budge next week.
I have much more weight to lose than you two which means I need even more motivation! I'm a wee bit over 200lbs and need to be in the 130's. I look forward to the inspiration!
I have alot of wieght to lose as well, I am about 188 and wish to be back to 138...I need lots of inspiration! I've been exercising sporatically, this week I've been more consistant. Just hoping to see that scale start budging soon.
At my heaviest, I was close to 220, which for a 5'4" woman with small bone structure is too much. Life, work, etc. had the pounds climb on when I hit 40. I lost a lot of weight in 2010 and began 2011 at 163 with a goal of 140. During 2011 & 2012, I've run 4 half-marathons and a bunch of 10K's. I've had recurring injuries in both years that kept me out of 2 additional half-marathons. After each injury, I've gained weight during recovery even when I watch what & how much I eat. The last injury in October & the following holiday season just seemed to fuel the cycle even more & I got really lazy about watching what I eat. I'm currently at 183 & committed to losing the 20 lbs. that crept back on and then targeting the remaining 23 pounds to reach my goal, while also getting back on track with eating healthier and returning to training. I turn 50 in Feb. and my goal in 2013 is to complete my first full marathon before year end; I can't do that at this weight without continuing to injure myself.
I've got a training plan, short term & long term, and I've started putting it into play beginning with easing back into running this week and committing to my 1st 1/2 of the year in late spring. I'm adding what was missing - yoga & cross-training - for better flexibility & strength to help avoid the recurring injury cycle. (Just committed to a month of yoga classes twice a week beginning next week.) And I'm back to writing down everything I eat and tracking calories. I'm trying to make this about becoming healthier and returning to a lifestyle that I want to maintain, rather than just a number on the scale.
But even with everything I've already put into place & the plans going forward, having some support outside myself (or my husband, which could be a bad idea) would be really great.
Add me in. I'm currently at 395 and need to be down to 220 or so. I have been down as far as 378 recently but quickly gained back a bunch. My highest was 420 at the end of April 2012 so I have lost some already, it's just really hard to kick old habits.
Been walking a lot, both in groups and at races. Did a 20+ 5k walks in 2011 and upped the race count to 30+ in 2012. I have done 3 10k walks and 1 15k. Currently trying to train for a 10-miler on January 13th, 9 days from now. I set a goal to walk (or run-walk) 4 half-marathons this year and have registered for the first one in May.
Looked into Weight Watchers and such but it's not for me right now. I like the social aspect but there are no good locations and meeting times near me. I could do online but for something like that I like the in-person aspects. (I know this is online but in my mind it's different.)
So, here's hoping a more active group of people can help me keep moving. I know I feel much better when I move.

Count me in, too! I'm 48, a nurse and a new empty-nester. I had lost about 30 lbs last year and I'm sad to say about 15 have crept back on... I would like to take them off over the next 2-3 months. I run 2 miles 3 x week. I used myfitnesspal.com I'm the past with great results but I'd love to have weight loss buddies who are in the same boat.
I would really love to connect with some other lots to lose but love to be active folks. Starting at 205 need to get down to 145.
I was 250 pounds at my highest, I am currently about 145, I was 128 at my lowest. I did it all wrong. I became anorexic and obbsessed. I did however, find running and the gym, they are my new loves. I am much better with my eating, but amalso very scared to gain anymore. I want to get back down to 133ish and I also want to run my first half marathon, I have run a couple of 5k's. I need accountability to stay healthy but I want to lose those 15 pounds and I want to do this by April
It is so wonderful to meet you all!
I am looking forward to keeping each other accountable in these upcoming months.
When I have participated in a board like this before, I have generally liked to have a weekly weight check in, and then I ask a few questions about weight loss/ self care. I think ( I hope) that this was fun and engaging for the other board members. I will go ahead and start that with this post, and feel free to reply or not reply.
To begin, how about our first weigh in next sunday?
As for the questions
1. What are your goals? I know a lot of you already put your weight goals and time-to-completeion. Please reiterate that here.
2. What is your motivation?
3. How are you keeping yourself accountable?
I hope everyone is enjoying the new year!

Lost so far: 25.5 lbs
I would love to meet others as well. It's always easier to lose with support. I lost almost 40lbs last year but have put back on almost 15. I decided to do something before I ended up gaining it all back. I started the C25k today. It was rough but I did it and I feel great.
1. My goal - lose between 30-40lbs
2. My motivation - I will be 42 in March. I want to feel good about myself and enjoy life.
3. Keeping myself acountable - Posting here is a start right
I'm in, although I don't go online very much. It's been about 4-5 weeks since I logged on here. I'll try and log in as often as I can.
The good news (for me) is I'm 20 lbs lighter than last January. The bad news is I gained my normal 7-8 lbs over the holiday season.
I'd like to lose at least 20 lbs by April and possibly 30 by Memorial day. After my first (ever) "race" (5 miles) on Thanksgiving, I've only run about 5-7 times since then.
I did get back into heavy weightlifting these last five weeks, which was fun. Now I need to get serious and get lean. Makes no sense to lift heavy, and have the muscle covered by fat.
I just weighed in at 195. I could tell that would be about the right weight by the way my clothes feel right now.
Oh alright, what the heck. I don't have a set amount I'd like to lose...I would be thrilled to be at 195 but that is still probably 80 or so pounds away. I've always been a big guy and also like going to the gym and throwing the weights around so I don't have any illusions of ever being "slim" and don't know that I would even want to be. I enjoy being called upon in emergencies like when that jar of pickles is being stubborn. A couple years ago, in order to meet medical requirements to deploy as a DOD civilian to Afghanistan, I lost about 60 pounds in a couple months doing Atkins and cutting out the weights and just doing the elliptical every evening. When I came back over for my second stint I was just about exactly the same weight I was the last time so the good news was that I hadn't put it all back on the bad news is I seem to be stuck here. Now that I am back overseas I don't have a home life so I am able to go to the gym regularly and run in the mornings before work. I finished C25K about a month ago and am now running about 2 miles in the mornings before work 6 days a week, although I felt good enough this morning that I may start making run #6 a little longer.
I'm in! I am committed to running my first marathon in 2013 (I ran my first half last year) and losing some weight (20 pounds). My long story short - I lost over 50 pounds almost 10 years ago and have managed to keep it off - not counting the 5 or 7 pounds here or there that come and go. However, I also just quit smoking (Oct 1) so I'm focusing now on losing the 14 pounds I've gained since then and becoming a more efficient runner so I can get this marathon under my belt. I love the stories, inspiration and dedication I find here... and hope to be able to provide something of value to someone else. After my busy season at work ended 12/31, I kicked it up again Jan 2. Ran 9 miles last week (3 days of 3 mile runs) and started this week with a 4 mile run and will do p90x yoga tonight after work. I'm struggling with training plans, cross training days and because I'm a bit OCD - taking a day "off." I lose weight via atkins so fueling will become an issue as my milage increases. I'm hoping that the 14 pounds are gone before that happens, which will make me feel better about incorporating some "real" carbs into my diet (as opposed to the ones from ranch dressing and michelobe ultra). Anyone else running their first full this year, scared of carbs, or obsessive over your training schedule?
Hi Everyone. I'd like to join in. Maybe this will help me stay focused. I am currently at 158 and would like to be at 135. I was down to 143 last March after being with a personal trainer for 5 months. Having the trainer was wonderful and it kept me from waking up and saying, "I'm not going to the gym today" because I knew how much it was costing. I can't afford one at this time so I'm am trying to get it in my head to start running and possibly run a half marathon in June while my husband runs the full marathon. I would like to run a few 5K's before that. I've never been a runner so the thought scares me to death but I am going to give it a go. Good luck everyone

November 29, 2008
Although a child prodigy in the visual arts, the multitalented artist Henry Fiol explains to John Child why he has dedicated his life to creating "Corazón Music", a unique blend of Cuban, New York, jazz, Brazilian, doo-wop and American pop elements and flavours, and why he has made his 11th solo album De Cachete (Corazón CD 116, 2008) available as a free download. In addition to discussing De Cachete, Henry talks in depth and with candour about his career and artistic development, sharing with comparable zeal his loves and hates in relation to such topics as charanga flute, rumba, the conjunto sound, timbales, trap drums, timba, bachata and reggaetón, and issues a warning about the danger of the latter musical genre. A thread running through the conversation is the story of Henry's exploration of his dual Latino and Italian-American heritage, and the ultimate realisation of his true identity. After the interview, Henry told John: "I have no doubt that this interview will become the best interview I've ever done in English, 'the quintessential Henry Fiol interview', if you will." The piece is accompanied by a discographic profile.

Japan Digs Out After Heavy Snow
At least seven people were dead and more than 1,000 injured after the heaviest snowfall to hit Tokyo and other areas of Japan in decades, reports said Sunday.
National broadcaster NHK said seven people had been killed in snow-related vehicle accidents, and at least 1,051 people were injured.
As much as 27 centimeters (11 inches) of snow fell on the capital, the most in 45 years, according to meteorologists.
The snow caused major disruptions to transportation networks, with nearly 300 domestic flights cancelled Sunday after over 700 flights were suspended Saturday.
There were also widespread blackouts. Tokyo Electric Power said 15,400 households in Ibaraki and Chiba prefectures near Tokyo were without electricity as of 4:20 p.m. (0720 GMT)
The Japan Meteorological Agency said northeastern parts of the country should expect more snow later Sunday.
The snow is also affecting voter turnout for Sunday's election for a new Tokyo governor. The Tokyo Metropolitan Electoral Management Committee said that as of 3 p.m. (0600 GMT), voter turnout was 20.52%, more than 10 percentage points lower that at the same time during the last gubernatorial election in December 2012.

Yahoo (YHOO) announced a number of changes to its board Thursday, including the addition of Max Levchin, a co-founder of PayPal.
The board also announced the departure of two directors: Brad Smith, the chief executive of Intuit (INTU), and David Kenny, chief executive of the Weather Channel.
Yahoo's latest board changes signal its continued push to become a top technology company once more, a strategy it began in July, when it hired Marissa Mayer away from Google (GOOG) to become its new chief executive.
Since taking over, Mayer has emphasized ways to modernize Yahoo staples like email and the Flickr photo service, to help them contend with ever-newer competitors.
Bringing in Levchin is intended to help with that push and show a commitment to developing enticing new offerings. He served as PayPal's chief technology officer before forming Slide, a company that eventually helped produce Web applications for Facebook. Google bought Slide for about $180 million two years ago, and Levchin left the Internet giant when it shuttered Slide last year.
"Max is someone I've admired throughout my career for his phenomenal sense for great products and keen focus on user experiences," Mayer said in a statement. "I'm confident that his strong product and technology expertise will be a tremendous asset to Yahoo as we work to transform the world's daily habits."
He will serve as the fourth director nominated by Daniel Loeb, the activist hedge fund manager who joined Yahoo's board in May after mounting a prominent challenge to the company's directors. Loeb's other directors, besides himself, are Michael Wolf, a media consultant, and Harry Wilson, a turnaround expert who served on the Obama administration's automotive task force.
Since joining Yahoo's board, Loeb has helped orchestrate a number of changes, including hiring Mayer.
Loeb was introduced to Levchin by Wolf, who had served on Slide's board of advisers. They met in Silicon Valley ahead of the proxy fight, when Loeb was recruiting candidates for Yahoo board seats.
One of the departing directors, Smith, was a main supervisor of Yahoo's turnaround efforts, including its talks with private equity firms about a capital infusion into the Web company and its eventual deal to sell some of its stake in Alibaba back to its Chinese Internet partner.
The other, Kenny, became the Weather Channel's chief executive in January and was formerly the president of Akamai Technologies. Kenny had briefly considered campaigning for Yahoo's top spot last year.
Both men were stepping down to focus on their respective companies, according to Yahoo.
"Both David and Brad played critical roles in bringing me to Yahoo, so I'm especially grateful for the opportunity and trust they've placed in me," Mayer said. "We will miss their leadership and partnership, and I know I speak for everyone at Yahoo! in wishing them the best."

Attendance boasted more than 220 people at the K-State Farm Succession workshop held last this month. Registrations closed once they reached 220, and over 50 people indicated they wanted to attend but were not able to due to the workshop already being full.
Ron Hanson, was the main workshop presenter, and he shared with the group his expertise of over 39 years of counseling and advising farm families. His take-home message was so important — that planning is necessary to make a successful transition, communication is necessary amongst all family members about the plan, and before any plan can be truly successful, any family conflicts must be dealt with. He shared many examples of families that failed to plan, planned but didn't share their plan, family conflicts that held up or terminated the plan, and also plans that were done successfully. Evaluations of the program were very positive.
K-State specialists were also part of the program. Their intent was to make farm families aware of the resources available to them to help them be prepared prior to meeting with their attorney or accountant. The Kansas Ag Mediation Service is available to provide mediation services to help resolve difficult situations. It is a confidential program, and can be reached by calling 1-800-321-3276. They also help by referring people to the farm analyst program, which is an educational service that helps facilitate business planning for families who farm. The K-State Farm Management Association was also on hand to help families understand how they should evaluate their operation to see if they can bring in another family member to the operation.
A good resource was designed and just made available for the event. It is titled "Transition Planning: 12 Steps to Keep the Family Farming". It can be requested by calling the McPherson County Extension Office at 620-241-1523.
Jonie James is a McPherson County Extension Agent for agriculture.

I know I'm off subject again, just bare with me, its exciting stuff.
There are new interesting things happening at chip manufacturer AMD.
What is HSA (Heterogeneous Systems Architecture)
HSA put simply is a multi-core processor combined with a GPU(s) that are all on one piece of silicon. In the full vision it's AMD's goal is to have all these parts functioning in the same address space with little memory conflict, in other words they've figured out have to make all the bits of the chip play nicely without bumping into one another, thus faster.
What makes HSA so cool?
Today's GPU's and CPU's are on entirely different memory maps, so you need to copy data to and from different memory maps, this is tedious and slow. The goal is, AMD's HSA will allow you to access all the the parts of this chip in one unified memory space, which will speed everything up and make programming much simpler. It will be really fast and I mean fast.
What could I do with HSA?
AI, Realtime processing, pattern recognition, photo realistic 3D, all of the things that programmers dream about. There will also be a block of silicon 'sub-routines' for doing specific kinds of processing, probable more mathamatical in nature (I'm guessing).
AMD has an ambitious plan, they have committed themselves to producing the finished product within 2 years.

Lisa McCaughey - I was throwing a casino themed birthday party for my 13 yr old baby Benjamin. Everyone raved about his vest. Great quality. It seems crazy but he is 14 lbs and wound up wearing the 2XL. Be sure to measure! His fit him perfectly!

Week 4
GOOD NEWS NOTES - Week 4
This week we cover two hindrances that cause tremendous harm to us being used of God.
The first is Fear. Most people would admit to having e-phobia. No, that is not being afraid of e-mail but being paralyzed by doing evangelism. In the movie "Patch Adams" there is a scene in a mental institution where an old man is ranting about how many fingers he is holding up. No one seems to understand what he is talking about as he holds up four fingers. When Patch Adams guesses four fingers, the old man says no, you are looking right at my fingers trying to solve the problem. The man said, "Look beyond my fingers and tell me what you see." As Patch's eyes went out of focus, he did see double of what the man held up and saw eight fingers. The old man said, "Sometimes, we are looking so hard at the problem that we cannot see the solution. Look beyond the problem."
That is what we need to do with evangelism. We all have an idea what evangelism is and most images bring to mind strong arming someone on the street or knocking on doors until someone will listen to us. Yes, that is one way of doing evangelism but most of the time it is not the best way. We need to look beyond what we think we know about evangelism in order to see the solution of being a friend to a missing person.
Very simply, there are 6 general types of evangelism. Most of us would not be comfortable doing four of them. But two are different. These are the two that we will learn about in our Good News Notes. All that is required is to be ourselves; genuine, caring Christians. Not a know-it-all who has all the answers to every question that may come up. Just a friend who's life has been changed by Christ. That's it, that's all. Telling and showing people how God has made a difference in your life. No big theology, no solutions to the big bang or string theory, just your story.
When we begin to view evangelism in this light do you feel the fear slipping away? No one is asking you to do anything but to be yourself and love others in the name of Christ. Add to this that God will go before you and prepare opportunities for you to care for people. With that in mind we can be courageous in seeking out a missing friend.
The second hindrance to sharing the gospel is apathy. How do we encourage Christians to care whether a friend or relative of theirs will spend eternity in hell or separated from God?
First, we need to understand what the Bible teaches about heaven and hell. Read the encounter in the Bible where Jesus tells about the rich man and Lazarus in Luke 16:19-28. This gives us a vivid picture of what it might be like to be without God.
Scripture - II Timothy 1:7-8a For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline. So do not be ashamed to testify about our Lord.
Action - Remember that God is at work in the lives of all missing people. If we have eyes to see we will see where God is already at work in the life of a missing person around us. God always will go before us. Take a look around you this week and see what God is doing.
Prayer - Lord, please help me to see people with a new and larger capacity to love.
Next Week -

STOCKTON – Authorities late this afternoon identified the woman passenger killed in Tuesday night's deadly police pursuit as Gabriela Garza Aparicio, 27, of Stockton.
They identified the driver of the vehicle that crashed at the Pershing Avenue onramp to Interstate 5 around 9:45 p.m. as Eric Nolan, 30, of Elk Grove. Police reported that Nolan was the gunman who shot at pursuing officers who believed he was involved in a carjacking some three hours earlier at American and First streets.
Nolan, who received minor injuries in the crash, was arrested and faces a number of felony charges, including murder, attempted murder of a police officer, carjacking, kidnapping as part of a carjacking, as well as multiple narcotics and weapons charges.
Two other passengers in the suspect vehicle, a 19-year-old man and 22-year-old woman, were admitted to area hospitals for treatment of serious injuries. They were not identified.
The murder charge filed against Nolan is based on the vehicular homicide theory. "He was driving so fast and reckless. The theory involves death that results from the negligent operation of a vehicle," Stockton police spokesman Officer Joe Silva said.
Despite the murder charge, Silva said the death of Aparicio won't be considered Stockton's 70th homicide of 2012 because it does not fit the FBI's uniform crime reporting definition for murder.

Slain MIT cop showed character dealing with NH accident
Fellow club member Andrew Ding told of the car crash during a drive to New Hampshire, describing how Collier showed no hint of anger or exasperation over the damage to his vehicle. "Sean was the first out of our car to go check and see if the (other driver) was OK," Ding wrote in an email to CNN, adding that "it would be exceedingly difficult to imagine him not stepping up and doing the right thing when he had the chance, which unfortunately he did last night."
