Since Jürgens in 1884 described the peculiar changes in the liver in puerperal eclampsia, a large number of carefully studied cases has accumulated, so that it may be said that the pathologic anatomy of the disease now is fairly well understood. Perhaps the most active observer in this field has been Schmorl in Dresden, who has studied no less than 73 cases.
Harbitz, who recently reviewed all this work, points out that the most important, essential, anatomic changes in eclampsia concern the blood, in which there is more or less laking of the corpuscles and coagulation with the formation of thrombi and emboli; associated with and partly, at least, dependent on these alterations are hemorrhages, infarctions and necroses. The liver of eclampsia, with the congestion, infarctions and degenerations, presents a picture that is hardly ever seen in any other diseased condition. It is important to note that acute or chronic

Kevin Arnovitz of TrueHoop: "Does Oklahoma City have anything profound to worry about? Thunder fans worry a lot about turnovers. But the high totals haven't affected the offense's overall efficiency, nor does it seem to produce a dangerous number of fast-break opportunities for opponents. More than anything, the turnovers seem like an ancillary product of an aggressive offense. Apart from that, the Thunder have an improved defense that has benefited from familiarity. Aficionados of high drama will yearn for a Russell Westbrook-Kevin Durant tug-of-war at a crucial moment, but there seems to be more trust than ever in OKC, on the floor and off."
Berry Tramel on potential playoff opponents: "LA Lakers: Don't count out the Lakers just yet. The Rockets, in eighth, are on pace to win 43 games. It's possible they boost that up. It's also possible they don't. Forty-four wins might get the Lakers into the playoffs. To get to 44 wins, the Lakers need to go 25-13 the rest of the way. That's possible. Not likely, but possible. Basically, play at about the success level as Memphis and the Knickerbockers have this season. Good news: The Thunder was built to beat the Lakers. Bad news: If the Lakers go 25-13 to reach the playoffs, they will enter with a load of confidence. History: The Thunder routed the Lakers twice before losing 105-96 Sunday. OKC went 6-2 vs. the Lakers last season, counting a five-game playoff series victory."
Kendrick Perkins tweeted last night: "Sitting here thinking about the future of our league and I really think its time for a change with our unions leadership #random" Not so random: Perk's agent is Arn Tellem, who sent this letter to all his clients in regards to ousting Billy Hunter.
John Rohde on schedules: "The Thunder's overall strength of schedule to date has been exactly .500, which essentially translates to what you've seen is what you'll get from OKC the rest of the way. If the Thunder maintains its current winning percentage of .756, that would equate to a 62-20 season and the West's No. 2 seed behind 63-19 San Antonio if the Spurs maintain at .766 while playing an easier remaining schedule."
The Raptors are hunting for a third-team to take Jose Calderon to facilitate a Rudy Gay deal. To the Trade Machine!
Part Thunder owner Aubrey McClendon is retiring as CEO of Chesapeake April 1. How will that impact the Thunder, if at all?
J.A. Sherman of Welcome to Loud City: "Earlier this season, we wrote that perhaps the best thing that could have happened to Kevin Durant's career was to lose James Harden, because it forced Durant (and by extension, Westbrook) to get better in all aspects. However, one aspect to Harden's game that was often missed is that until the playoffs, Harden rarely contributed much at the ends of games, but instead carried the offense for lengthy stretches, which allowed Durant and Westbrook to finish the games strong. This year, the Thunder have yet to find the guy who can carry the burden of the entire offense so that Durant and Westbrook do not feel the need to come back quickly and exert themselves. Kevin Martin is a welcome addition, but he is not equipped to play this role."
Who are the best shooters from where?
Allow me to be That Guy about the Lakers: You know, they won five straight at one point in December. So maybe pump the brakes on this three-game streak, you guys?

Combined Degree / Independent Study Opportunities
Three of the college's sites (Chicago, Peoria, and Rockford) offer the Independent Study Program (ISP). The program, which varies somewhat at each location, allows students to design their own academic programs with advice from selected faculty. ISP students also complete a "study-in-depth" in a subject of their own interest.
Some students join in the Independent Study Program to gain a more extensive background in research, while others wish to design their own innovative curriculum. Most in-depth studies involve the
basic sciences or clinical medicine, but ISP students have completed projects in public and occupational health, physics, nutrition, and health-related social issues.
Combined MD/MPH Program
This program is available to students in the College of Medicine at Chicago. There are two tracks for this joint degree program.
1. Registration in the College of Medicine with a full medical curriculum and 4 credit hours per semester taken concurrently in the UIC School of Public Health. In this way, 24 credit hours toward the MPH degree could be earned, and the summer semester would be available to complete additional credit hours of course work and the field practicum.
2. Registration in the College of Medicine and use of the vacation and alternate semesters to carry a full-time course load in the School of Public Health.
Interested students discuss
the dual degree option with their College of Medicine faculty adviser.
If recommended by the advisor, the student then discusses the program
with the dean of students of the School of Public Health.

Small engine extravaganza
It's been snowing a boatload. Almost three feet in a span of about a week. The free snowblower that I just finished rebuilding the carburator on, cleaning up, and getting running… just sucked in a screw from the throttle plate. It ran beautifully for about 5 minutes and suddenly, but mysteriously croaked. Everything is apart now. I took out the piston from the cylinder and sure enough, the screw did some damage. The damage seems to be localized to the piston. The walls of the cylinder are seemingly perfect, but there's a hole in the sidewall of the piston, and a gouge running up the entire side. No wonder it has low compression.

PAW PAW — The word coming down from the Gov. Rick Snyder is "collaborate."
But that's an old story in Van Buren County, according to. Sheriff Dale Gribler and Jeffery Elliott, director of the Van Buren-Cass District Health Department.
The sheriff's department and health department have been working together to save local taxpayers dollars, Elliott told Van Buren County commissioners this week. "We've been doing this for a long time," Elliott said.
Both have long collaborated on four different programs: a drug treatment program, health care services, oral health care, and Homeland Security oversight.
Most of this week's presentation centered around health. Inmates have a right to health care and state law also says inmates must be screened by health workers when they are first incarcerated.
"That's a requirement," Gribler said. "We have to."
The jail has a full-time physician's assistant during regular work hours who is overseen by a physician. That assistant also is on call during off-hours.
"Additionally we have a nurse that's on call," Elliott said.
Otherwise all treatment would have to take place in a hospital emergency room.
The health personnel, dental care and the New Directions drug treatment program are being paid by Van Buren's share of the state liquor tax, which amounts to $237,000.
"We've had not used one (local) general fund dollar in this since I've been associated with it," Elliott said.
Gribler estimated running all the inmates to the hospital would cost $500,000.

Osage State Fishing Lake
The area is being used as a combination wildlife and fishing area. Construction of an earthen dam created a lake approximately 140 acres in size. The remaining 366 acres consist mainly of tall grass prairie with numerous wooded draws and slopes. Soils are thin with rock layers below much of the area. Much of the area consists of native tall grass with heavily wooded draws. Species managed for include quail and other small game.

Osage State Fishing Lake lies in a small, pleasant valley of the Osage Cuestas. Around the lake is a riparian woodland, and the upland is native bluestem prairie. The best wildlife habitat is on the east side of the lake.
In fall and spring the water attracts migrating waterfowl including snow geese, Canada geese, mallards, pintails, common mergansers, and common goldeneyes. On occasion a migrating osprey is seen plunging, talons first, into the lake for fish. Eastern screech-owls, great horned owls, northern flickers, hairy woodpeckers, eastern wood-pewees, and white-breasted nuthatches can be found in the woods.
In summer search the fields and prairies for eastern meadowlarks, mourning doves, northern bobwhite quail, grasshopper sparrows, scissor-tailed flycatchers, and both eastern and western kingbirds. In the nesting season listen for the boom of diving male nighthawks courting their mates. Common around the lake are muskrats and beavers. Watch for white-tailed deer and coyotes year-round.

A card game produced by Wizards of the Coast for proud nerds to play everywhere. Requires mass amounts of money to win, and sometimes ends up in nerdfights, which are slightly more dangerous than sorrority girl ticklefights. There's nothing wrong with the game if you're into that sort of thing, but most people on UrbanDictionary would gladly kick in the face of anyone seen carrying around a deck.

Time for a 21st Century Social Contract
SOURCE: AP/Julio Cortez
In the 50 years since President Lyndon B. Johnson declared the War on Poverty, our nation's system of work and income supports has protected millions of families from poverty, mitigated hardship, and promoted economic opportunity. For example:
- The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, kept nearly 5 million people out of poverty last year and has all but ended extreme hunger in the United States.
- Medicaid is a pillar of our health care system, particularly for children, low-income parents, and people with disabilities, and has dramatically lowered the rate of the uninsured.
- Head Start has helped nearly 30 million children since its inception by promoting school readiness and offering comprehensive health services.
These and other vital programs have also acted as important buffers during recessions. In addition to helping families weather periods of job loss, these programs promote economic recovery during periods of high unemployment and ensure that households don't cut back on their spending to such a degree that even more workers lose their jobs.
Yet much has changed in the past 50 years. Demographic shifts, insufficient access to jobs that pay decent wages, and an economy that increasingly serves only the wealthiest among us pose a new set of challenges. Moreover, several components of our system of work and income supports have grown weaker over time, and today too few individuals and families get the help they need and deserve in hard times. Given that fully four out of five Americans will experience at least one year of significant economic insecurity at some point during their working years—and half will experience three years or more—we should all be invested in ensuring that our social contract provides adequate protection amid the ups and downs of life.
An economy that's only working for the wealthy few
The late 1970s saw the end of shared economic growth. In the decades since, those at the very top of the income ladder have enjoyed huge gains, whereas most Americans have seen their wages stagnate amid rising costs. The bottom 20 percent of families saw their incomes decline by 7.4 percent in real terms between 1979 and 2009, while the top 5 percent saw their real incomes rise by 72.7 percent. In the wake of the Great Recession, the top 5 percent of families have resumed real income growth—with the richest 1 percent capturing 95 percent of real income growth between 2009 and 2012—while low- and middle-income Americans have watched their incomes continue to fall in real terms despite four years of economic growth.
Not enough jobs with decent wages
As the gap has widened between those at the top of the income ladder and the majority of Americans, the minimum wage has lost 30 percent of its real value since 1968, despite tremendous gains in productivity. Had the minimum wage been indexed to inflation in 1968, it would be more than $10 per hour today. This erosion in the value of the minimum wage means that it is no longer sufficient to provide a decent standard of living—or even to lift a worker with two children out of poverty.
High school diploma no longer enough
During this same period, the job prospects and earning potential of male workers with a high school diploma have dropped substantially. The employment rate of non-Hispanic white and African American males who graduated high school fell from 96 percent in 1970 to just 75 percent in 2011. Earnings for these groups dropped by more than 50 percent during the same period.
Families relying on mothers' wages
At the same time as men's wages have declined, families are increasingly relying on mothers as breadwinners. Today—in just over 4 out of 10 families—mothers provide more than half of their families' earnings. In nearly two-thirds of families, mothers provide a quarter or more of their families' earnings, compared with 27 percent in 1969. Women increasingly play dual roles as caregivers and breadwinners, yet most lack basic workplace protections such as equal pay, paid sick days, and paid leave, as well as affordable, high-quality child care. Just one in six eligible families receives child care assistance. Women are also more likely to work in poorly compensated jobs than men. For example, nearly two-thirds—about 62 percent—of workers in jobs that pay the minimum wage or less are women.
Struggling families falling through the cracks
Unfortunately, our safety net has in many ways failed to keep pace with the 21st century realities of our changing economy and these demographic shifts. While our system of work and income supports does a tremendous amount to increase opportunity and mitigate hardship, several components have been cut back and are now less effective, leaving far too many struggling individuals and families with little to fall back on in hard times. One important example is unemployment insurance: After Congress failed to renew emergency unemployment compensation earlier this year, the share of unemployed workers receiving jobless benefits dropped to 31.7 percent, almost the lowest on record.
Another important example is income assistance for families with children. In 1996, Aid to Families with Dependent Children—initially created as part of Social Security in 1935—was eliminated and replaced with a flat-funded block grant to states known as Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, or TANF. Funding for TANF has been frozen for nearly two decades, without even routine increases to keep pace with inflation or population growth. Not surprisingly, the program has fared poorly as a tool for mitigating hardship—just one-third of poor families with children are helped by TANF, compared to more than 80 percent in 1996. In more than half of all states, fewer than one in five families with incomes below the federal poverty line receive TANF. The program has also proven woefully unresponsive to recessions. While the number of low-income households receiving SNAP rose significantly during the Great Recession, as one would expect given the tremendous increase in need, the number of families receiving income support and re-employment assistance through TANF barely budged during the same period, and actually declined in some states.
Struggling families increasingly turning to high-cost credit as their safety net
As wages have lost real value over time, fewer families have savings to fall back on in hard times. About two in five Americans report that they "probably" or "certainly" would not be able to come up with $2,000 in 30 days in the event of an emergency—a figure that rises to two-thirds when it comes to lower-income Americans. Families appear to be turning to payday loans and other forms of high-cost credit to make ends meet when times get tight, which often kicks off a downward spiral of debt and hardship.
Family caregivers feeling the squeeze
Finally, as the Baby Boom generation ages into their years of needing care and more women enter the paid workforce, one in six working Americans today provide care for an elderly or disabled family member, relative, or friend. This figure is all but certain to rise as the Baby Boom generation ages further. By 2050, the share of the U.S. population that is 65 or older is expected to top one-fifth of all Americans, compared to 13 percent today.
Our country—and the challenges families face—have changed. To build an economy that works for all Americans, not just the wealthy few, we need to take account of these changes and update our social contract to reflect 21st century realities. In addition to common-sense policies to grow and support a strong middle class—such as raising the minimum wage, ensuring access to paid leave and paid sick days, and universal pre-K—a robust and responsive system of work and income supports is essential to protect against what President Franklin D. Roosevelt called the "hazards and vicissitudes of life."
Author's note: In the months to come, the Center for American Progress' Poverty to Prosperity team will be exploring policy solutions to strengthen and modernize our nation's safety net to reflect 21st century realities, and to better facilitate economic mobility for families on the brink.

Retrevo Gadgetology report has revealed some Black Friday shopping trends. The study surveyed 1100 shoppers about their Black Friday shopping plans. While 40% said they were going to buy electronics on Black Friday, over half said they planned to do so online. Only 18% said they would be going to stores like Best Buy and Radio Shack.
When asked how they did at the Black Friday sales last year, a whopping 72% said they got exactly what they wanted. 48% said they went on to buy other things in addition to those coveted items.
According to the study, the hot electronic item this holiday season is the HDTV. 30% said they are looking to buy one this year, and with sizes beyond 60 inches and below 10, there is sure to be one for every budget. Coming in second are laptops. 22% of the shoppers surveyed said they plan to pick one up, and 14% plan to get a GPS system or Blu-ray player. MP3 players came in last with just 9% saying they plan to buy one. Looks like Smartphones and iPods have won out over them.
Big spenders, not surprisingly, are in the minority this year. Only 22% said they planned to spend more than $1000 on electronics online and just 18% at stores. 25% plan to spend between $500 and $1000 in stores or online, 30% plan to spend between $200 and $500 online and 36% at stores, and 20% plan to spend less than $200 in both places.
What are your Black Friday plans this year? Leave a comment and share them with us!

2013 Kaedrin Movie Awards
Over a month late at this point, but that's just the joys of being an amateur movie lover. As of this point, I've seen 68 movies that could be considered a 2013 release. This continues a slight downward trend over the past few years (I usually get to the 70s at this point of the year and am publishing a top 10 by now), though the lateness of these awards puts me on par with last year at least. Still, I've done a lot of catching up in January, and now that no one cares anymore (on the one hand, I'm generally using the same timeline as the Oscars, on the other hand, everyone is sick of this sort of thing once the Oscars hit), am ready to commence my end of the year recap. [Previous Installments here: 2006 | 2007 | 2008 | 2009 | 2010 | 2011 | 2012] I'll post the nominations now, and like last year, I'll post all the winners next weekend.
2013 has been a good year for movies, though I suspect that ordering my top 10 (once I finally get there) will be extremely difficult. It's usually very easy to find 5 or so movies that I love throughout the year, with 1 or 2 that really stand out and strike a personal nerve with me. This year, I feel like I'll be able to narrow down to 10 very easily, but have an impossible time ranking them. There are still a few things I want to catch up with before I post that list, but the awards can start now. One of the points of these awards is that they allow me to give some love to films that I like, but which aren't necessarily great or are otherwise flawed (and thus the categories may seem a bit eclectic). Some of these movies will end up on my top 10, but the grand majority of them will not.
The rules for this are the same as last year: Nominated movies must have been released in 2013 (in the US) and I have to have seen the movie (and while I have seen a lot of movies, I don't pretend to have seen a comprehensive selection - don't let that stop you from suggesting something though).I suppose I should mention the requisite disclaimer that these sorts of lists are inherently subjective and personal. But then, the world would be an awfully boring place if we all liked the same stuff for the same reasons, right? So here are the nominees for this year's awards:
Best Villain/Badass
A terrible, or at least, odd year for villainy. I ended up nominating a bunch of movies I didn't particularly like, or I ended up nominating people that don't quite fit the category. I have no idea how I'm going to pick a winner on this one. As with previous years, my picks in this category are limited to individuals, not groups (i.e. no vampires or zombies or pod people robots as a group, etc...).
A better year for heroism, certainly an overmatch for the weak villainy, but far from the best slate of nominees here. Still, there is at least one standout that fits perfectly for the category here, so that will be an easy decision. Again limited to individuals and not groups.
This category seems to get tougher every year. The problem is that I instituted it because of a string of great individual performances... but now I keep trying to find the right person in an ensemble to nominate (or justify folks in movies that aren't really all that funny). Some solid choices this year, but it's a weird one...
Always an interesting category, and lots to choose from this year. As with previous years, my main criteria for this category was if I watched a movie, then immediately looking up the actor/actress on IMDB to see what else they've done (or where they came from). This can sometimes even happen for a long established actor, though I'm lighter on that front this year (even if it's been a pretty great year for breakthroughs). Yes, the criteria is vague, but the fun of these awards is that they're supposed to be idiosyncratic and weird.
Sometimes even bad movies can look really great...
In case it's not obvious, I'm a total genre hound, and these are movies that don't tend to get a lot of attention, so I like to shine a light on them.
Typically a difficult category to populate, and this year was no exception, so I was a little liberal with the nominations.
Always a difficult award to figure out, as there are different ways in which a movie can disappoint. Usually, expectations play just as big a part of this as the actual quality of the film, and it's possible that a good movie can win the award because of high expectations.
This award isn't for individual action sequences, but rather an overall estimation of each film.
Well, I suppose even listing nominees here constitutes something of a spoiler, but it's a risk we'll have to take, right?
This is always a strange category to populate because the concept is a bit nebulous, but nevertheless, there are always a few interesting choices...
I instituted this category a few years ago because I was always discovering movies from the previous year after the fact. Of course, since then, I've had difficulty populating this category. This is going to be a tough choice, as I have to say, I wasn't really blown away by any of the nominees... Iron Man 3, Thor: The Dark World, Fast & Furious 6, You're Next, and Upstream Color). Her has 3 nominations. Inside Llewyn Davis has 3 as well, though one is a negative category, so that doesn't quite count. And, of course, lots of movies have 1 or 2 noms. 44 different films nominated total, though 4 are 2012 movies. So I'm going to let these nominations stew for a week, then announce the winners next Sunday, followed by the traditional Arbitrary Awards and eventually culminating in my top 10 of 2012 list (which should come in before The Oscars)...

Vashon football defeated by Orting in a rout
A seasoned Orting football team took it to the young Pirate team on Friday, beating them 56-0.
Vashon got the ball to start the game, that possession ending in a punt. Orting started out with a five-play touchdown drive and never looked back.
After a blocked punt and several turnovers led to Orting touchdowns, Orting was significantly ahead at halftime, 42-0.
On the first play from scrimmage in the third quarter, Orting took it to the house again. Later in the quarter, the Pirates had one long, sustained drive ending with an interception at the one-yard line.
Orting had one more score in the fourth quarter, leading to a win for the Cardinals, 56-0.
To add insult to injury, the team bus broke down while on the way to Point Defiance to catch the last ferry of the night. Luckily the cheerleaders had taken a small bus to the game and were at the ferry dock waiting to load. Rides were arranged for the cheerleaders, and the small bus, along with some parents in their cars, went back to pick up the stranded team and then drove to Fauntleroy to catch a late boat.
The Pirates' next game is the Homecoming game against Chimacum this Friday at 7 p.m.
— Brian Brenno is the president of the Vashon Bounty Club.

I AM the least influential person I know. This is on the strength of Klout scores, which rate our importance on social networks on a scale of one to 100. My Klout turns out to be a mere 10, which compares with 68 for my lifelong rival and to scores of between 40 and 80 for most of my colleagues.
Until last week I had lived in happy ignorance that such a thing as Klout existed. But then I read something on the Harvard Business Review website that introduced me to the "influence quotient" and argued that Klout scores and similar measures are important and are going to become increasingly used in hiring and promotions.
So I signed up myself. I provided details of my (moribund) Facebook and LinkedIn accounts as well as my Twitter name and the computer coughed up my dismal score. The number is apparently based on an algorithm that takes into account 400 different factors, including how many people retweet and "like" you and how important each of them is.
My initial response to my score was disbelief. I snatched up the phone and called Klout CE Joe Fernandez. I found myself feebly protesting that as I have 20,000 followers on Twitter, Klout must have kocked up the kalculation, but he was not impressed.
The number of followers means nothing, he said, as people can buy them. Although I didn't like the insinuation, I fear Klout may have rumbled me. In truth, all my tweets are put out by the Financial Times's public relations team. I never retweet; don't follow anyone; there is no connecting going on at all. So I guess 10 is what I deserve.
The whole idea of Klout gives me the creeps with its horrible talk of "unlocking" and "leveraging" influence. It is also hard to respect a system in which Justin Bieber is the only human to have briefly reached a perfect score of 100.
But the main problem with Klout is that it is a nonsense to try to boil down something as qualitative as influence into a single number. It fails to distinguish between someone who is influential in the world of dog biscuits and someone who is influential in defence policy.
Even more objectionable is what obsessing over Klout scores does to people: it makes them twitchy and stupid. On Twitter, every few seconds someone tweets: "My Klout score has just gone up two points!!!!" And then sycophants retweet these dreary messages and the scores rise even further.
Yet, despite all this, I can't shrug off my own failure entirely. Never since my fourth-year Latin exam at school have I done quite so badly at anything. But back then I was all defiance; now I find it much harder to laugh off my lack of Klout than I did my stupidity faced with one of the world's most beautiful and rigorous languages.
The difference is that Klout, unlike Latin, is not a language of the past. It is a measure of proficiency at a language that almost everyone seems to have learnt how to speak. I fear I am going to have to try a bit harder. I am going to wrest back my Twitter account and do it myself. I will try a bit on LinkedIn.
If all fails, there is a fallback. A young colleague to whom I confided my score last week said that he was sure he could boost it hugely in a mere half an hour if I handed control of my accounts to him.
Kloutsourcing is what he called it. I rather like it.

LEWISTOWN - Sports fans and medical professionals alike have a new, local place to shop.
With the goal to create a store that is both fairly-priced and convenient, Lewistown resident Nathan Keagle has opened Avenue Apparel, a shop that sells medical personnel scrubs, supplies and equipment, as well as baseball, football and collegiate sportswear.
Keagle said the idea for the store, which is located along Electric Avenue in Lewistown, arose because his mother had worked at Lewistown Hospital for 25 years.

"I know a lot of nurses," Keagle said, explaining that many of them had to travel out of town to get scrubs and other work equipment.
Keagle said he hopes that by opening a local shop he can offer low prices and eliminate travel for a lot of customers.
"I just thought it was a no-brainer to open this kind of store in this area," he said.
Avenue Apparel, which opened at the end of April, carries Major League Baseball jerseys, T-shirts, sweatshirts and fleeces, including the Phillies, Pirates, Yankees and Red Sox teams, as well as some college football T-shirts.
Keagle said that National Football League apparel will be ordered through Reebok, and will come later in the summer. Also, the store currently is in negotiations with Nike to order some additional college apparel; it already sells some Penn State gear, he said.
"We'll get some NHL stuff, too," he said, adding that the store also might branch into basketball apparel.
And for those in the medical field, the store also carries a variety of name brand scrubs.
"These are high quality," Keagle said. "That's what we wanted to do."
Emergency Medical Technician equipment also is offered, as well as name brand stethoscopes, blood pressure cuffs, scissors, socks, shoes, lab coats and accessories, he said.
The store is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday; from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday; and from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday. It is located on 701 Electric Ave., suite B, next to Pop's Deli. For more information call 953-9260.

London, UK – 3rd September, 2013 – Caradigm, an international healthcare IT company founded as a joint venture between GE Healthcare and Microsoft, has appointed Dr Joel Ratnasothy as medical director for EMEA.
"Dr Ratnasothy will play a vital role in supporting Caradigm's growing business across the EMEA region in line with our strategy to create a sustainable international business" said Dr Brandon Savage, chief medical officer and senior vice president of product strategy. "But more importantly we will be able to draw on Dr Ratnasothy's broad knowledge, accumulated both through clinical practice and healthcare industry experience, to increase clinical engagement and to ensure our customers receive the most advanced solutions to deliver against the challenges they face."
Caradigm offers healthcare analytics solutions which provide insight into patients, populations and performance, enabling healthcare organisations to understand their clinical and financial risk and identify the actions needed to address it.
Dr Ratnasothy will be responsible for providing direction for future product development for the EMEA region as well as leadership and industry insight for sales, marketing, partnerships, and implementation. He will work closely with Dr Brandon Savage as well as Ralf Klein, regional VP and managing director for Germany, Austria, Switzerland (DACH) and Richard Craven, regional VP and managing director, UK and Nordic region, to provide clinical input into road mapping to ensure that solutions offered by Caradigm meet the changing needs of the EMEA market. In addition to working in the region, Dr Ratnasothy will also be a member of the Healthcare Leadership Team, contributing to the global strategy of the company.
Dr Ratnasothy said: "I have long believed in the potential of technology to improve the way we diagnose, treat and prevent disease. My previous experience as a doctor in the NHS and as an academic research fellow at Imperial College London has given me valuable insights into how technology can improve the quality and efficiency of clinical care. The problem is that this potential is still largely untapped. There are many reasons for this but two stand out: large software applications seem to be difficult (and expensive) to modify; and patient data remains fragmented across many such applications.
"Caradigm takes a different approach: it provides a robust platform to connect disparate islands of patient data and the development tools to build agile and adaptable applications that can exploit these rich data sets.
"As a health economy and considering the global financial challenges that we face, there is a great need to improve efficiency in the delivery of healthcare. This is why I believe this approach by Caradigm has the potential to address these issues and dramatically improve the way we manage healthcare services, support our clinicians and facilitate excellent patient care."
Dr Ratnasothy has worked and studied in the health sector for 17 years, most recently as medical director in the UK for Fujitsu. Before starting work in IT, he obtained a degree in Neuroscience, a Medical Degree and Medical Doctorate from Imperial College London, and trained as a surgeon at Cambridge University Hospitals.
Richard Craven said: "This is an exciting time for us as we enter new markets and further develop our analytics portfolio. As healthcare, and the way that it is delivered evolves at a rapid pace, Dr Ratnasothy's experience and expertise will be a significant asset to Caradigm in ensuring we are able to provide the best possible solutions for our customers – helping them continue to provide excellent patient care whilst improving efficiencies and ultimately driving down costs."
About Caradigm
Caradigm is a new kind of health IT company announced by GE Healthcare and Microsoft Corp in December 2011. The joint venture will combine the power of an open technology platform and collaborative clinical applications to bring together disparate patient data and transform it into intelligence. Our solutions are designed to enable others in the industry to take advantage of the platform to innovate – rapidly generating a new era of applications to improve population management. Caradigm's European headquarters is based in London, employing 14 staff. Our goal is to make it easy for caregivers across the entire healthcare continuum to readily see the big picture down to the smallest detail, to allow them to gain the insight they need to collaborate with ease and provide the best patient care possible.

JOINT BASE LEWIS-MCCHORD, Wash. - Joint Base Lewis-McChord's Capt. Jared Foley and his crew in a C-17 Globemaster III were ready to turn back home after a paratrooper landed outside of a planned drop zone on a July 2011 training exercise, according to testimony at Foley's court-martial.
The West Virginia National Guard parachutist jumped from the plane's fifth pass over a Montana landing zone, and the error caused the crew to cancel a planned sixth and seventh run.
Then an Army safety officer on the ground called the C-17 crew with a new assessment: The paratrooper missed his drop zone because of his own errors. The Army officer told the Air Force crew they were clear for more jumps.
Suddenly Foley's Air Force crew no longer considered that flawed jump on their fifth pass an "off drop zone" landing that would have compelled them to terminate their exercise.
Foley consulted his team and Army safety officers and went back for a sixth pass, the one that led to the death of Army Sgt. Francis "Frank" T. Campion III of Hollidaysburg when he landed on a building outside of his drop zone.
Two members of Foley's crew recounted those events in court Wednesday at Lewis-McChord, where Foley is on trial for one count of reckless endangerment and three of dereliction of duty.
Prosecutors argued that the pilot didn't follow Air Force regulations by giving the OK for the sixth pass over Marshall Air Field in Montana. He should have ended the mission when one Guardsman landed outside of the drop zone on the fifth pass, according to two different regulations they displayed before a court-martial panel made up of 10 Air Force officers.
Foley's defense attorney countered that the pilot should not be judged with perfect, "20-20 hindsight." Instead, Capt. Sarah Carlson argued, Foley's actions should be considered in the context of the circumstances he and his crew encountered on the day of the fatal airdrop.
Prosecutors played a video of what happened on that sixth pass. Three paratroopers generally stay close to each other in the air, landing in a grass field.
A fourth stays in the air a little longer. He crashes into a rooftop with his helmet flying off the building.
Wednesday in court, Foley had several Army and Air Force supporters sitting behind him, including a squadron commander from Lewis-McChord's 62nd Airlift Wing.
Two of Campion's relatives from Pennsylvania also are in court.

Chipmaker Avago Technologies (NASDAQ: AVGO ) has successfully managed to turn its business around, and its recently released third-quarter results are proof. The company's business was in a state of flux earlier this year due to a product transition at its chief customer, but things have changed for the better.
Avago's revenue guidance of $721 million-$740.5 million for the current quarter is ahead of the $696.3 million consensus. This is not surprising as Avago is a key supplier to Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL ) .
A big opportunity
Last year, Avago supplied radio frequency chips for the iPhone 5, and Foxconn had accounted for 17% of Avago's overall revenue. With Apple's next edition of the iPhone expected to release in September, it is not surprising that Avago's guidance came in way ahead of what analysts were expecting. As Apple ramps up production of the handset, Avago will no doubt benefit.
Moreover, as we approach the iPhone launch date, the possibility of a cheaper "iPhone 5C" being in existence is getting stronger, and this should further help Avago by increasing its addressable market.
Apple needs to make its presence felt in emerging markets such as India and China, and a mid-range iPhone would help its cause. The smartphone behemoth has reportedly been in talks with China Mobile (NYSE: CHL ) and as the telecom carrier prepares to launch its 4G LTE network this year, the presence of a cheaper iPhone would help spur adoption.
According to China Daily, China Mobile is expected to allocate more than half of its $30.5 billion capital outlay this year toward its 4G rollout, and a deal with Apple will benefit both parties.
Ming-Chi Kuo of KGI Securities (via Business Insider) believes that China Mobile and Apple's cheaper iPhone together will enhance penetration of LTE in the country. Morgan Stanley analyst Katy Huberty is of the opinion that Apple would gain six points in market share in China with a cheaper iPhone.
All these possible developments bode well for Avago as it will be able to sell more of its chips if it manages to find a place inside the budget iPhone. In addition, Avago also counts Samsung as a customer, and it stated over the previous conference call that the Korean giant is ramping up production of its next-generation platform.
The wireless market accounts for 45% of Avago's overall revenue, and with clients such as Apple and Samsung, robust growth can be expected in this segment.
Steady improvements
In the wired infrastructure market, which contributed 31% of Avago's revenue in the previous quarter and grew 17% from the year-ago period, the prospects look good. Avago is finally seeing demand from enterprise customers pick up. Increased data-center spending pushed up demand for its 10G and 40G optical products.
Avago is expecting the momentum in data-center spending to continue, while also expecting an upswing in its core routing business on the back of infrastructure buildouts in China. As a result of these developments, the wired infrastructure business is expected to grow 20% sequentially.
Finally, in the industrial market, Avago saw 18% sequential growth and better order rates from customers. This is a trend seen across various semiconductor companies. According to an IHS report, the industrial semiconductor market is steadily improving, and chipmakers are reporting lean inventories due to robust demand from customers.
The bottom line
Strength in the mobile market and gradual improvements in infrastructure and industry are some good reasons why Avago can continue to improve. A decent dividend yield of 2.30% at a conservative payout ratio of 31%, negligible debt, and a diversified business further strengthen Avago's case for the long run.

For many hoops fans the real basketball season starts tonight, as the NCAA's collegiate cagers tip things off. While I love watching the NBA (or any basketball for that matter), I'm particularly partial to the college version, due to many factors – the pageantry of it, the rabid crowds, the discovery of new, exciting NBA prospects. But, of course, the biggest reason to like NCAA basketball is March Madness and the Final Four. I was lucky enough to cover it live in Detroit last April for SLAM, and there is no other basketball experience that can top it in terms of excitement.
This year's Final Four takes place in Big Ten country again, in the hoops heartland of Indiana (Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis to be exact). And, because you were wondering, here is the Hoops Manifesto's preseason picks of the four participants that will lace them up in Indianapolis next April.
The Jayhawks have the most experience, talent and depth of any other college team on the planet. Most importantly, they have two of the nation's best players at the two most important positions on the court – point guard Sherron Collins and center Cole Aldrich. Add in a big, athletic supporting cast and a proven winner for a coach and the Jayhawks are the team to beat. (Please note: this pick is contingent on them not getting into any future brawls with their football team and/or driving drunk (which, as the past offseason shows, is not a given).
The only team that can challenge Kansas for the title, at least in terms of talent, is the Kentucky Wildcats. New coach John Calipari has the country's best recruiting haul, led by next June's no. 1 pick in the NBA draft, John Wall. But, more important than all of the newcomers is one of the team's few holdovers – junior big man Patrick Patterson. Patterson is a legit NBA prospect in his own right, and he provides the youngsters with a stable leader and a dominant presence in the paint. (Please note: this pick expires in two years, at which point Kentucky should be on probation and their Final Four appearance stricken from the records).
Kansas might be the early favourite to win the national championship, but they'll still be in a battle just to win the Big 12 conference. That's because Rick Barnes has a stacked crew down in Austin ready to go to battle. Like Kansas and Kentucky, the Longhorns, led by dynamic forward Damion James,have a solid mix of veterans and newcomers that make them a legitimate Final Four threat. (Please note: this pick is null and void if 300lb Texas center Dexter Pittman decides to haze top recruit Avery Bradley by eating him).
My wildcard pick. Michigan State is the trendy choice to make it back to the Final Four, but I prefer Purdue's team in the Big Ten. The Boilermakers' three-headed monster of Robbie Hummel, JaJuan Johnson and E'Twaun Moore could be the best trio in the country. Plus, Matt Painter's boys should be motivated to make it to the Final Four in their home state. (Please note: this pick is not valid if the ghost of Glenn Robinson comes back to campus and ruins the team's chemistry by hoisting 30 shots a game).

Idea of the Day: An Executive Order Would Help End Discrimination Against LGBT Workers
Under federal law it is entirely legal to fire someone based on his or her sexual orientation or gender identity. At the same time, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender—or LGBT—Americans report widespread discrimination in the workplace, which forces many of them into the ranks of the unemployed and leaves them without an income to pay the mortgage, buy groceries, and otherwise make ends meet. Workplace discrimination is not only a problem for workers—it also presents problems for businesses by introducing inefficiencies and costs that cut into profits and undermine businesses' bottom lines.
While many states, municipalities, and corporations have instituted policies that shield LGBT workers from workplace bias, LGBT individuals currently lack adequate legal protections from employment discrimination. In fact, a majority of workers currently live in states that have not passed laws giving LGBT workers legal protections from workplace discrimination.

Tasting Notes
This 30 Years Old Port is a beautifully mature wine of great distinction. Paleand delicate, it has superb complexity and style. With a concentrated andnutty nose and a full, fresh and lingering finish. It is a very skilful blend,creating an excellent balance between nutty oak and raisin fruit flavours.
Technical Notes
Dow's 30 Years Old Tawny is made exclusively from grapes sourced at "A" classified vineyards (the highest), which include Dow's Quinta do Bomfim and Quinta da Senhora da Ribeira, two of the very best vineyards in the Douro valley. This enviable position is reflected in the excellent quality and consistency of the style evident in Dow's 30 Years Old Tawny.
Food Pairing
Dow's Thirty Years Old Tawny will surely make any lunch or dinner amemorable one. It is a fabulous accompaniment to dark chocolate, but canalso be enjoyed on its own - it is an experience in itself.

After spending four seasons in the Rangers' organization -- two of them in the minors -- Wade Redden is officially free.
The team announced it had bought out his contract after he cleared waivers, utilizing one of the two buyouts allowed by the new CBA that were slated to be used by teams this summer. But because players like Redden and Scott Gomez were told they couldn't play, even in the AHL, the NHL and NHLPA agreed to allow teams to use them now. Salaries, however, won't come off the books this season.
For Redden, it's good news. He signed a six-year, $39 million contract in 2008 and he'll receive most of what was left. Should he signs with another team this season, he will make money on top of that. ESPNNewYork's Katie Strang reported a source said there are "several" teams that could be interested in bringing him aboard.
As for the Rangers, it won't change much for them this season since Redden wouldn't have been with the club anyway. But when the salary cap drops to $64.3 million next year, the buyout will give the Blueshirts more cap room to work with, an especially important fact since players like Derek Stepan, Carl Hagelin and Ryan McDonagh are slated to be restricted free agents.

The rehabilitation process from back surgery still consumes him, something that Jets wideout Jerricho Cotchery is grateful for at times like these.
For what seems like a first in his seven years with the Jets, his name reportedly has been placed on the trading block in order to clear up some cap space and allow his team to be more flexible in free agency.
The team drafted a wide receiver this spring — Jeremy Kerley — who could play in the slot, where Cotchery worked most of last year. And general manager Mike Tannenbaum didn't speak specifically about the possibility of dealing Cotchery, only mentioning the Jets are "good" at the receiver position for now.
Cotchery isn't letting much sidetrack him. Walking into the facility free of pain and discomfort, it's the best he's felt in more than two years.
"Nah, I mean, I'm in a familiar environment, and when you come into the building it's time to work," Cotchery said when asked about trade worries. "And that serves as a distraction for all the outside things and everything else that's going on, and once I'm in this building I'm working, and that's everyone's approach. I don't spend any time thinking about that."
Cotchery cleared it all away through an arduous five-month rehabilitation process and is now day-to-day on the team's physically unable to perform list. He said he'll ease himself back into training camp.
"When you play through injuries you kind of get used to your body not working the right way. I know how my body feels now. It's just a great feeling."
Brandon Moore, also on the PUP list, said his recovery from hip surgery is going well — "ahead of schedule," even.
As one of the team's union reps during the lockout, Moore said he's happy with the way the new practice schedule agreed upon in the CBA is shaking out, even though a few coaches have teased the players about the pace of walk-throughs so far.
Kyle Wilson's locker will be moved next to Darrelle Revis' so the 2010 first-round pick can be mentored by the Jets' No. 1 cornerback.
Ryan gave Wilson credit for seeming a little less nervous — albeit during punt return drills — than the start of camp his rookie year.
Special teams coordinator Mike Westhoff said he likes Joe McKnight, Kerley and Wilson so far as kickoff returners. As for punt returns, coach Rex Ryan said safety Jim Leonhard won't be involved this season, given the scope of the leg injury he suffered last year.

Larry W. Smith/NBAE/Getty Images
There are a few pivotal moments in a franchise that not only amplify the excitement around the organization and the city it is located in, but can also help determine the direction and even the futures success of each. The Thunder's first game in the Ford Center last October in front of a raucous crowd and excited community served as a starting point which showed that this organization, this team, could not only survive in a small market but thrive on the love of their fans, the sponsorship of vital corporate partners and the overall sports hysteria that a traditionally collegiate market would be expected to experience when they got their first taste of a professional franchise.
The next moment, however, is but a few days away. Read that again. We, you, are on the verge of the next step into a larger world for this franchise, these players and this community, which can propel everyone involved with the Thunder's success to a new level of brand recognition, personal endorsements on a broad-scale and local economic benefit.
In short, the pivotal moment for every employee, player, local merchant (from restaurants to apparel stores) and fan of the Thunder is peeking over the horizon, and could very well determine just what kind of franchise, what kind of city, what kind of fiscal community and what kind of fan base the Thunder and its supporters will be perceived as by the nation, which could have long-lasting effects on the success and sustainability of this market as a whole.
And that is why this next step, this maiden voyage into the NBA Playoffs for this small market team who has overachieved through teamwork, defense, budding talent and a superstar ready to make his own great leap, must not only meet expectations, but exceed them.
Now at reading this you may scoff at the notion that this first trip to the playoffs will have any specific positive or negative impact or even far-reaching effects on the local economy, the image of Oklahoma City around the country or the Thunder franchise as a whole. You wouldn't be alone. In fact, my buddy Bach did precisely that.
He said that the casual NBA fan or even basketball fan is not going to get excited enough to venture down to Bricktown when they don't have tickets to a game. He said that a traditionally collegiate market will almost always have a more vested rooting interest in local universities with which people have a lifelong tie with than a professional sports team. He said that there are infinitely more important things for the Oklahoma City metro businesses and organizations to spend their time on than creating a frenzied atmosphere for a few nights (during a work week, no less) for a few playoff games. And he had a point. In fact he has a point.
Because he is exactly the person that the Thunder front office and the local business associations around Bricktown (and around the region who sell merchandise, sponsor, advertise with the Thunder) need to reach.
And Thunder FanFest is a good start. In fact, before submitting this article I had written about three and a half paragraphs describing the need for an event, an opportunity to come down to Bricktown that could include the entire family where Thunder fans could experience the energy and anticipation of the playoffs and descend upon the area surrounding the Ford Center as not only a sign of excitement but of support for the team AND the community that sponsors and supports the franchise. There needed to be a kickoff for the fun and frenzy.
Seems like I wasn't alone in thinking this: "The Thunder's success this season has been the result of commitment, resiliency, teamwork and passion for the game – traits also embodied by the fans who have been, and continue to be, a vital part of the Thunder family," said Thunder senior vice president Brian Byrnes. "Thunder FanFest is a fun and exciting way to engage with other Thunder fans and share in the experience together."
But hopefully it won't and shouldn't stop there. My buddy Bach is exactly correct in his assertion that Oklahoma has primarily been and is still viewed as a collegiate market, which is precisely why this first trip to the playoffs must solidify this market as a PROFESSIONAL market when it comes to local community support, fan excitement and fiscal capability.[quote]
Corporations do not typically like to hold conventions in cities that clearly can not support a large influx of visitors and are not a professionally viable location. Television stations do not typically like to broadcast nationally televised games for a market/franchise that will not draw viewer interest and maintain ratings. Local businesses do not typically do promotions or special events for a team or organization that fails to produce results and bring in customers.
We're not talking about taking that leap from minor league to major league since it's already happened. We're talking about SHOWING that the leap was not only made, but flew higher and farther than anyone expected. This is the Thunder's, the City's and even the people of Oklahoma's opportunity, on a national stage, to show off what they have all become through the unique transformation of the past few years/seasons.
And it ultimately falls on three groups to make it happen: the Thunder organization, the local businesses and corporate sponsors (especially Bricktown and the downtown area where the games take place) and, perhaps most importantly, the fans and local community.
So far the Thunder has done its job. They're in the playoffs, they have produced a competitive product and are increasing the recognition and value of the franchise's brand throughout the league, nation and even the world (especially when Durant, Westbrook, Scott Brooks, etc travel overseas or compete for awards that are recognized world-wide). They have made their players available to the community and through "NBA Cares," are making a positive impact on the community they are now a part of.
And I don't think that should be overlooked. Stop and think about that. These athletes, these millionaires with amazing ability are a part of our community. And if we're about one thing more than anything else, it is community.
Secondly, with FanFest and the Sandridge building sporting a "Let's Go Thunder" banner and downtown shops and restaurants painting Thunder logos and signs, the local businesses and corporate sponsors are off to a good start. But I hope that this is only the sign of more to come. Bricktown, most would argue, is the heartbeat of Downtown Oklahoma City, which is what this area is most known for in terms of attractions and thriving businesses.
Well these playoffs are the perfect time to make the most of that heartbeat, to create a sense of excitement and even a frenzied atmosphere that Bricktown is THE place to be for the next week and a half (or hopefully longer). These are the businesses that for 41 games a year see 18,000+ people at their doorstep and, in a perfect world, thrive through the presence of a professional organization in their immediate vicinity. In fact that's kind of the point of having a marquee/professional franchise in your city in the first place.
Well now's the time to make the most of this maiden voyage, make the most of Bricktown and all that our support (financially, "hello taxes!," and emotionally, "Why couldn't they just beat the Warriors?!!") has made this vibrant area into.
When you think of Memphis and where you'd want to be during an exciting event, isn't it Beale St? New Orleans will and could only be Bourbon St. San Antonio is the River Walk.
It's time the nation knew that Bricktown is synonymous with Oklahoma City when it comes to where you want to be when there is electricity in the air. Like, oh I don't know, when the playoffs roll into town.
Lastly, and ultimately, it's on you and me. It's on the fans. Do you know what I remember the most about the Mavs versus the Warriors during that memorable first round series? Oracle Arena.
Sitting on my couch more than sixteen hundred miles away, I could feel the energy from that arena seeping through my television set and permeating every electric particle in my charged room.
I wanted to be there. Shoot I almost felt like I was there!
That's what home court advantage looks like and that's what this team not only needs, but deserves. This is a special team. A team that has already accomplished a tremendous amount in only a year's time and one that actually has the potential to wow the NBA landscape going forward.
And the Ford Center has the potential to be that X-Factor, to maybe give the Thunder that extra nudge when it matters most.
But it's not just about the arena. It's about supporting the community that makes that arena possible, that makes this team possible. It's about stepping up to the plate when it matters most.
The playoffs are known for one thing more than anything else: amplified intensity. Everyone knows that a team's intensity must sky-rocket up if it wants to compete in the playoffs and, in the end, for a championship.
The same is true for the fans. It's time to bring your A-game, it's time to make this maiden voyage into professional post-season play the most of what it could be.
Not only for the Thunder, not only for the community and local businesses, but for yourself. For the five year old girl or boy who has the opportunity to grow up with this team for the next fifty years.
For my buddy Bach, who deep down despite all of his skepticism and reasons for doubting the impact and relevance that this playoff run could hold for the Thunder franchise, the OKC community and this market as a whole…I know would love the chance to be a part of something special. To witness something amazing.
It's why we're here. It's why we're fans in the first place.
Rise Together, indeed.

FORT WORTH - The nation's nuclear energy industry, all but stagnant for three decades, is quietly building toward a resurgence with more than two dozen new reactors on the drawing board in 15 states.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is already reviewing license applications from plants in eight states to build 13 new reactors, and it just received another application for two more.
Later this year, plants in seven other states plan to seek permits for a dozen more reactors.
The first could be built and operating by 2016.
While 104 commercial nuclear reactors remain in operation in the United States, the NRC has not approved a construction license for a new reactor since 1978.
Amarillo developer George Chapman also has proposed to build a two-unit reactor at a yet-undisclosed site in the vicinity of Amarillo.
No firm costs have been released, but the project is expected to top $5 billion.
UniStar - a joint venture between Baltimore-based Constellation Energy and French nuclear power plant operator EDF - has signed on to help Amarillo Power prepare a Combined Construction and Operating License application for submission to the NRC.
UniStar has partnered with French reactor design company Areva Inc. to market Areva's Evolutionary Power Reactor design in the United States. The EPR is a large pressurized water reactor with a design output of about 1,600 megawatts of electricity.
The NRC received its first application in about 30 years in November, when Houston-based NRG Texas applied for a license to build two reactors at its South Texas Project near Bay City.

Also, people are less active:
There's also a major increase in sedentary jobs:Americans have become less physically active overall between 1955 and 2005.[29] While the rate of leisure-time physical activity has not changed significantly there has been a decrease in work-related activity, human powered transportation, activity in the home, and increasing sedentary activity.[29] During 2000 and 2005 the number of adults who were never physically active increased from 9.4% to 10.3% while the number who were engaged in the highest level of physical activity decreased from 18.7% to 16.7%. Pertaining to leisure-time physical activity, people involved in no activity increased from 38.5% to 40.0% while those who spent most of their day sitting increased from 36.8% to 39.9%.[6]
In 2000 the CDC estimated that more than 40% of the US population was sedentary, another 30% was active but not sufficiently and less than 30% had an adequate level of physical activity.[30] There has been a trend toward decreased physical activity in part due to increasingly mechanized forms of work, changing modes of transportation, and increasing urbanization. Obesity rates have increased in relation to expanding suburbs. This has been attributed to increased time spent commuting, leading to less exercise and less meal preparation at home.[31] Driving one's children to school has become increasingly popular. In the USA the proportion of children who walk or bike to school declined between 1969 (42%) and 2001 (16%) resulting in less exercise.[30]
You don't need to study the primal lifestyle to realize that more calories consumed, plus less physical activity, plus less physical jobs will make you much fatter. Believe it or not, gluten is not to blame for everything.

Motivation. What a tricky thing. Recently I was interviewed (yes -- I was profiled and it was awesome!) and one of the questions was, "What keeps you motivated to train everyday?" I had to think about -- I don't know, I have to so I do. It's not like I love waking up to come to work, but I have rent, dogs and a horrible coffee habit -- I have to come to work.
Except training and running have no financial pay off, because without the paycheck, I probably wouldn't come to work (No offense, NWGA -- I really do love working for you, but I'm motivated by money.). I thought back to why I first started running ... I had to have had motivation then.
If you know me, or know of me, or know anyone who might know of me -- it's very likely you know about "Operation: Hot Bod [insert year here]". Operation: Hot Bod '09 is my lifestyle choice... Sometimes it consists of eating really healthy, making smart decisions (ah, limiting the beer intake to two, and staying consistent on my workout routines. Most of the time it consists of, "My jeans still fit, I ran this week -- let's go out for mac and cheese."
It's funny, because I started Operation: Hot Bod '08 about a yeah and a half ago. Do I have the banging body I had envisioned -- definitely not. Has my body changed? Yep -- and because of running specifically it has 2 new tattoos also. But at some point my motivation changed. Of course staying healthy is part of the reason I run, but the love and passion I've developed for running has nothing to do with the hot bod original motivation.
In my 20 minute journey to discover what my motivation for training is, I thought about what my life would be like without running... Let's be honest, I would have less friends, I wouldn't get to do all sorts of cool stuff -- like write for the blog, and I would be fatter. All things that I would not like one bit.
I don't know what my motivation is for running. Because while I have goals (Beat Geb Winter '10 and Eugene Marathon '10!), it's not meeting those goals that keeps me going. It's everything else that comes with it. I've met two of my very best friends ever because of running -- and we train, ah hem gossip while running together, then we eat or drink and enjoy each others company after a training run.
I run because it's fun, or because my friends are fun ... I'm still just as confused, but what I do know is that I won't be stopping anytime soon, because whatever it is that keeps my motivated is in full force -- and my love affair with running is a strong as ever.
