Life in Motion: The Thrilling Joy of Speed and GrowthBrian Gresko
Movement can be frightening. Anything might happen to a person in motion, untethered from the ground. You land on an ankle funny, or stumble out of control, or collide with a hard something in midair, and your whole life could change. The body is a sensitive machine, and our soft skin is a delicate barrier between our insides and the world around us. No wonder so many Americans prefer to sit! Sitting is, on the whole, safe. Plus there's television to watch. (Of course, this doesn't apply to sitting in a car or other vehicle, because then you're not really sitting, are you? It's a trick of physics. Look out the window — you're moving.)
My son Felix is going to be five in May. From August to December, he sprouted up an inch and a half. Talk about a trick of physics! His entire being is in motion: the creeping, incremental growth that I only notice every few months when he suddenly seems so tall, but also on a grand scale, he's a bundle of constant energy, a burlap sack full of kittens in the shape of a boy.
Like a gangly teenager, he's not quite sure how to keep his ever-changing body safe. Yesterday, he climbed onto a stool to reach a pack of stickers from atop the refrigerator, unaware of the stool teetering and tottering from his shifting weight. When my wife saw my look of alarm, she said, "Yeah, he's been doing that lately."
"That doesn't seem safe!" I said.
Felix shrugged, grabbed his stickers, and then shimmied down.
To him, I guess, he lives in the same body. He jumps from his comfy green reading chair to the bed the way he has always done, but now he's so long his head almost bashes into the wall. Or he'll change from taking the stairs one foot after the other to hopping two feet at a time, throwing off his balance and mine too, if I'm following close behind. "Be careful," I hear myself saying several times a day. But this is one of the most ineffective things you can say to a kid.
"Ok, Dad," Felix replies, while doing nothing to change his behavior. I can hear the eye-roll — the sigh of parents, gawd! — in his tone. He's four going on fourteen.
The boy has reached a height where, when out at stores or walking on the streets of New York, he's on the periphery of my eyesight. Sometimes I think he's with me, when he's not, my eyes are tracking something else. Or I think he's run off when in fact he's at my heels, or a bit to my right, and I just didn't see him. Nor can other people, who swerve out of his meandering way. "Be aware of your body in space," I'll tell him. "You're a big boy now. Keep to the right on the sidewalk. Be considerate of others. Don't make any sudden moves!"
"Ok, Dad," he'll say again.
Before the latest snow storm, we trudged out to pick up a few provisions. The store's aisles teemed with people urgently stocking up in case of snow-pocalypse. In one narrow lane, while I obsessed over what brand of coffee beans to buy, Felix fidgeted at my feet. "Excuse me," a woman said, hoping to pass by us. Instead of moving away from her, flattening his body against the shelves opposite, as I was, Felix moved forward as the woman squeezed into our space. I placed a hand on his shoulder and said, "Be careful," but before he could say, "Ok, Dad," Felix and the woman ran into one another, and a Campbell's soup can fell from her arms and whacked him in the eye.
Felix shrieked and cried for a moment before reigning himself in. "I'm ok, Dad," he said. Though he almost lost it again when he saw the blood. The can had made a small cut by the corner of his left eye.
Later, I worried that I could've been more forceful in pulling Felix back, but really, the situation was out of my hands. He is a body in motion, with his own trajectory, his own physics, and all I can do sometimes is be there to hold him when he gets hurt. I might wish it were otherwise, but it isn't. He moves through the world on his own, and he won't realize his limits or figure out the best ways to handle his body without learning a few hard lessons.
The next day, when the snow had settled, Felix and I marched to Prospect Park with our red sled. He sat in the back while I pulled him up the slope, patting down the snow and making a flat track for us to follow back down. While Felix's pre-K was opening late, too late for him to go, the majority of New York City schools were in session. We had the hill to ourselves.
He sat in my lap, and I paddled my arms to get us going and then the snow flew into our faces as we careened down the lane, the air alive with peels of ridiculous, high-pitched, out-of-control laughter. There is a thrilling joy in motion and speed. Movement is life, growth, and change. It's frightening and uncertain but also wonderful and powerful. The life of a parent, of a child, of everything, is a blur.
At the bottom of the hill, on that clear, crystal cold morning, we were alive. The frigid air made it hurt to breath and laugh and even sled, but it felt wonderful.

Q: I just noticed our big guy ferret, Oz, kind of has a swollen neck — almost like when humans get sick and sometimes get swollen glands. He is eating, getting around and nothing else seems out of the ordinary. He doesn't have a cold wet nose, it has been dry and more white than pink. Should I be worried and take him in to our vet? I think he may just have a touch of the flu or a cold to bring him down. The two girls have adrenal and are fine. Nothing even like Oz. Oz doesn't have adrenal or insulinoma, right now anyway. He is about 3 years old.
A: It is not common for ferrets to have a swollen neck. This appearance can be a normal finding or something more serious. It may be that your ferret, since you say he is a big guy, may be putting layers of fat along his neck area. That just means he needs some exercise and a new diet. Or it could be more serious, such as swollen lymph nodes or even a blockage in vessels called lymphatics.
The best way to know what is causing this problem is to visit your veterinarian. A physical examination and some simple tests can help your doctor discover the cause of this problem. I am glad that Oz is a healthy, big ferret. Even if this is a serious problem, it sounds as if you have caught this early. The sooner any disease is treated, the sooner your ferret can get back to being himself.

SUMMIT POINT - Summit Point has a new business that opened on the Fourth of July.
Utters Hand-Dipped Ice Cream is located at 2871 Summit Point Road and will be open from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., seven days a week.
The stand offers everything from a scoop of ice cream to banana splits and a variety of milkshakes. There are 11 flavors to choose from.

In July's heat people are already stopping by the Utters Hand-Dipped Ice Cream stand in Summit Point.
The business was an idea of Judy Shea, who for a long time had a business in Clear Brook, Virginia. The new Utters Hand-Dipped Ice Cream stand sits next to the Rail Side Market, which was opened in 2007 by her daughter and son-in-law.
After her business closed in Clear Brook, Shea wanted to start a business close to home. She looked around online, as well as in little shops in the area, and decided on an ice cream stand.
"We decided that there was not enough room in the market to sell ice cream, so it was decided to put the stand next to the market," Shea said. "I found Hershey's Ice Cream on the net. Thanks to their help with setting up a small business I was able to open Utters Hand-Dipped Ice Cream on July Fourth."
The Hershey's Ice Cream Co. has an outlet in Winchester, Virginia. A company spokesperson said that the company is not connected to the more famous Hershey's Chocolate Company, but is owned by another member of the Hershey family.
"When people go for a ride in the country on a weekend or just want to get away I hope they stop by the Utters Hand-Dipped Ice Cream stand," Shea said. "They will be in for a great treat."

Another strong aftershock rattled northeast Japan Monday, exactly one month to the day when a massive 9.0 earthquake and resulting tsunami devastated the island nation.
It was the second major aftershock in less than a week. The 7.0 quake triggered a tsunami warning for the already crippled coast, but fortunately a big wave never formed. There were no reports of damage or injuries.
The strong aftershock struck just hours after people bowed their heads in silence to commemorate the one-month mark since the disasters struck, killing at least 25,000 people and creating the biggest nuclear crisis in years.
"Even after a month, I still cry when I watch the news," said Marina Seito, 19, a student at a junior college.
People in hard-hit towns gathered for ceremonies at 2:46 p.m., the exact moment the quake hit.
"My chest has been ripped open by the suffering and pain that this disaster has caused the people of our prefecture," said Yuhei Sato, the governor of Fukushima, home to the damaged plant at the center of the nuclear crisis.
"I have no words to express my sorrow," he said.

Whether sweet, hard or packing an inebriating wallop, apple cider is the potion to down by the dram when foliage flares to ocher and red. It is the lacquer that paints a plain roast chicken with a glaze of just-fallen fruit. And it's the jug on the pantry shelf that calls us to luxuriate in another harvest before winter settles in.
Cider is made by crushing apples into a pulp, then pressing the pulp to extract its juice. After that, the juice can be bottled and sold immediately as sweet cider. Or, it can be stored in barrels to ferment into hard cider, the way that grape juice is fermented into wine. Hard ciders range in alcohol content from 3 to 7 percent. (Fermentation beyond 7 percent results in apple wines, and the liquid can be distilled into apple brandies, such as applejack or Calvados.)

We stayed in the 2 bedroom cottage. Nice place and Diane was very attentive. Would stay again for sure.

My husband and I had the best getaway ever! We were thrilled with this quaint cottage and all the amenities! Danielle and her husband were gracious hosts and very accommodating to all our needs! The garden hot tub was a great way to relax! We will be back! Highly recommended!

Thank you so much for taking the time to post this review. It blesses me to know that guests really enjoyed the cottage. I really started the cottage for that purpose. Being in a small town it's not a money maker, but the guests that I have truly make it a wonderful experience for me also. I hope you do get to come back soon. Call me at 817-774-6248 for any help I can give you. Again thank you so much.

Very nice house. Pretty decorations. Better than any hotel room. Friendly hostess. Quiet neighborhood. Great value. Loved the hot tub. Ducks were cute. Candles and bath salts made spa like feeling. Comfortable bed. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

This place was a surprise. It is and bed and do it yourself breakfast. The rooms were clean, the garden was pretty, and the hottub was a nice touch. It is across the way from Buffalo Creek and the ducks. If I visit Cleburn again, I would stay here. There was no service or dining, but I had to rate it to exit the page.

We knew it was going to be cold and dreary outside so we wanted a B&B where we had more than one little room to hang out it. River Rock was the right choice for us. It's hard to believe it is just 5 blocks from the square in the heart of Cleburne. The park across the street makes it truly feels like you are out in the country. That's what we wanted. Ducks even greet us on our arrival. They have an excellent selection of wholesome DVD's and stock the kitchen with plentiful breakfast and snack items. We asked for bikes to ride on the trail across the street and they accomodated us. The Pettys are great hosts. Stay at their cottage and you won't be disappointed.

Our stay couldn't have been any more perfect. The food was excellent and the innkeeper was super helpful. Can't wait to go back!

We loved our stay there. We went with plans to go out and do things, but once we got there we decided to cancel all plans and stay at the B&B. It was peaceful and relaxing and very hard to leave when our stay was over. We would MOST DEFINITELY recommend this place to anyone. We have plans to return.

This cottage was a really nice place, inside and out. If there were more things for my kids to do in the area I would definitely come back! They really enjoyed the hot tub though!

THANK YOU so much for your review. I was so sorry to hear that you were sick during your stay. If you do come back I will help you with ideas for the kids. We have a great kid friendly built in pool at our home, a mile away, that I would be glad to have you use. Again thank you for choosing River Rock.

Me and my husband stayed at the River Rock Bed and Breakfast cottage for our 5 year anniversary, and I must say it exceeded our expectations. Danielle was very friendly, helpful, and accommodating to make sure our stay was nothing but the best. The cottage itself is so beautifully decorated that you never want to go home. It makes you feel like you are right at home and not a guest at a cottage. It has many amenities that come in handy to make your stay nothing but the best. All you need literally is your clothing, everything else is provided for you at the cottage. There is even a gift shop where she has absolutely beautiful jewelry and home decor. I give this place 10 stars and will definitely be back for another visit. If you are visiting the area or just want to take a break from the big city and want to relax in a quiet cozy neighborhood. This is definitely the place to be.

The airlines make it 3,770 miles.
But the airlines never had to measure the length of the homestretch at Leopardstown in the shadow of the Dublin Mountains, or fight through the clubhouse turn at the Curragh in Kildare, or change course down the backstretch in the Galway Races at Ballybrit.
The airlines never had to figure in the miles worth of walking hots, or mucking stalls to graduate to a trainer's license you can ride all the way to the land of bluegrass, easy livin' and an infield of drunks belching out a half-tone flat chorus of "My Old Kentucky Home."
Forget the airlines. Go ask Eoin Harty what it takes.
He trains a colt named American Lion that has been overlooked thus far by almost everyone in Derby City but him. Do not rush to dismiss Mr. Harty too quickly. Just like the horses in Saturday's cavalry charge, the essence of horse racing resides firmly and deeply within his own genes.
To understand that, understand this about where Harty has been and its impact on him.
If they're racing horses and they're Irish, then somewhere in the joint there's always a Harty . . . or two . . . or three. And it's odds-on that he or she is training or riding or judging. It started with great-great grandparents and worked its way all the way down past sons and daughters through cousins by the dozens.
The tradition that old Michael "Boss" Harty, the kind of Johnny Appleseed of racing for this family, set in motion when he rode and trained in 1880, no man dares put asunder.
"I can't remember a single day," the 48-year-old Eoin Harty will tell you, "that racing wasn't a part of my life in some way. It's always been that way for my family. That's why it seemed so normal to me."
So there was the heir apparent, all of 17 years old, coming to make his American fortune in the land of St. Patrick's Day parades, Notre Dame football and the Kentucky Derby. He is still here and he ain't going anywhere as evidenced by the New York Yankees cap he has worn ever since he first hit the California tracks.
He is here with American Lion, a precocious colt that opened as a huge overlay at 30-1. And winning the Kentucky Derby is an emotional promissory note Harty wrote to himself long before he took that plane ride into JFK.
"What would it mean to me?" he says. "What would it mean? Well that's kinda obvious. It would mean everything to me. This race is the pinnacle of racing. It's something I always wanted. Some people have to wait until their lingering years. I don't know how long I'm gonna live, so I want to get it knocked out as quick as possible."
He has thought about the roses for a long time. When he first came to Kentucky to work on a stud farm in Lexington, Harty went down to Louisville to see the race he had read about and dreamed about. He bought a ticket for the infield — a place where few trainers-in-waiting had ever gone before him. There in the land of the wild, the wicked and the occasionally topless, he saw Spectacular Bid win the roses in 1979.
He has been here since. First, as an assistant to Bob Baffert for two of Baffert's three Derby triumphs. "I learned a lot about the Derby with him," Harty explains. "I watched him handle the pressure, the media and his own horses, and without that knowledge I would be coming here with no idea about how difficult this can be. If you came here without knowing that, you could be overwhelmed."
He has been here twice as his own man, finishing sixth and 15th. But this time, despite public opinion and despite the overnight odds, his colt is no pretender. He is here because he won his last race — the Illinois Derby— wire-to-wire.
Of added significance is the fact that until then American Lion had raced entirely over synthetic surfaces at Santa Anita, Hollywood Park and Keeneland.
But in the Illinois Derby he was running on dirt for the first time in his career and won by a growing 2¾ lengths. Harty worked him on Tuesday here on the dirt and afterward said something that stamps him as a pretty smart trainer.
"Now I will keep him happy. I'll stay away from him. I'll leave him alone. That is what I am going to do. All I can ask of him is to run his race. He will run his race. With 20 horses out there you can't control this."
"Is there any other race like this?" a man asked.
"Yeah," Harty deadpanned, "Talladega."

NORTH AUGUSTA — SWAT team members with the North Augusta Department of Public Safety roamed the halls of six schools Thursday, learning the entrances and exits, nooks and crannies, to better prepare themselves should they have to respond to an emergency situation.
At North Augusta High School, for instance, team members talked with custodial staff to learn what doors remain locked at all times, which are unlocked, how to access the roof, and familiarized themselves with the floor plan so that they can take that knowledge and plan for the unexpected.
"We are pinpointing strengths in security and weakness in security to prepare for the catastrophic event we hope never happens," said Lt. Tim Thornton.
The 21-member SWAT team was at North Augusta Elementary, Mossy Creek Elementary, Hammond Hill Elementary, Paul Knox Middle, North Augusta Middle and North Augusta High at different times throughout the day.
All Aiken County schools are on winter break until Monday, so no students were inside the schools while the SWAT training was being conducted.
No school is the same. Each school has a different layout, which means the SWAT team has to craft a response plan specific to each school. The plan, for example, can assist them in knowing the best and quickest ways to identify and isolate a threat to evacuating students and faculty.
It can be a challenge, according to Thornton, especially since the majority of the six schools were built before anyone had to worry about school security.
"We're encouraged about having the ability to get in here and pre-plan," he said. "Of course, we cannot plan for everything, prevent everything."
The SWAT team trains together once a month in various areas, like firearms, physicality and scenarios.
Public Safety Chief John Thomas said practicing and planning can shave seconds off emergency response, and "seconds mean a lot to us."
The Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting where 20 students and six faculty members were fatally shot is on everyone's minds, Thomas said, and North Augusta Public Safety wants to stay out in front and remain vigilant.
Thursday was the first day back for Sandy Hook students and faculty.
"I can only imagine what the parents and students are going through. Sadly, it can happen anywhere, anytime," Thomas said.

Beautiful rooms, elegantly appointed. Delicious breakfast. Relaxing atmosphere with very gracious and friendly hosts. Feels like home. Would definitely recommend Shells by the Sea to friends, family, or anyone seeking a wonderful B&B experience.

My boyfriend and I stayed at this B&B for 2 nights. It was absolutely perfect! Shell and Ned are so warm, welcoming and friendly! They also have a little dog named Remy who is absolutely adorable and so friendly! The house itself is absolutely gorgeous and spotless. Shell was great and gave us recommendations for places to go for entertainment and restaurants. Breakfast was absolutely delicious both mornings. You can tell they are both such hard workers and truly care about their guests and do whatever they can to ensure you're relaxed and calm! The salt water pool was also absolutely amazing, and that is where my boyfriend and I spent most of our time! This was our absolute favorite getaway, and we both agreed we have never felt so relaxed! We will surely be back! Thank you, Shell and Ned for everything!

Our friends had been going there over the years always raving about the wonderful experience provided by the the hosts. Last year and this, we enjoyed ourselves there, too. Shell and Ned not only make you comfortable and well cared for, they feel like friends. The place is beautiful, clean and relaxed. They have a darling little dog named Remi who follows Shell everywhere. Remi is friendly and loves to be loved. Anyone who would be concerned about this darling dog shouldn't! We plan to go back every summer with our friends and new friends we met there last year and this.

My girlfriend and I were looking for a much needed relaxing weekend, and Shell and Ned made sure that was exactly we got. Beautiful house and very cozy and private sleeping arrangements. The heated pool out back was heavenly. Their home is very close to everything and we found ourselves regrouping back at the house several times a day. Great hosts, cooks and pool side companions. We mentioned my girlfriend's dietary restrictions in advance and they were enthusiastically accommodated by Shell and Ned at breakfast time - no questions asked! We will definitely look to stay with them on our next visit.

Stayed here with my wife and her mother while we attended a wedding in Narragansett. Worked out perfectly for us. The house and facilities are very nice; plenty of spots for relaxing, conversation, reading or even more active pursuits if you like. Definitely recommended.

This is the best kept secret you can't help but tell everyone about. Top notch service with a smile. Ned and Shell make you feel like family. The are really no words to describe this place. You must experience it for yourself. I personally will not stay anywhere else when I'm visiting the Newport/Naragansett area. It puts 5 star well known establishments to shame... Once you stay here, I guarantee you will not want to stay anywhere else. Thank you for you gracious hospitality Ned and Shell. See you both again real soon!

While rarely inclined to write anything but checks and ski club notes, I do want to share my impressions of my overnight stay at Shells By the Sea. I'm a minimalist. I travel light, and appreciate all the amenities here. I'm not much for idle chit chat. I enjoy peace and quiet, relaxing, and re-energizing. I discovered each of these precious qualities. Offered my choice of three comfortable bedroom experiences, I chose the first floor king. Easy in, easy out--near the breakfast room, and my Mini. The soft fluffy cotton robe was just right for an invigorating shower. Loved the sheets and towels and mattress, which seemed to gently caress me to sleep. Freshly brewed coffee and fresh fruit helped me jumpstart an adventurous Saturday, refreshed and satisfied. If you try Shells By the Sea...you'll like it, too.

We were thrilled to come across Shell and Ned's beautiful B&B! what a gem! We had planned a weekend in Rhode Island and the spot we originally booked in Narragansett was quite unappealing. Fortunately, the gods smiled down on us when we called Shell and they had a room! This is not your typical B&B- it is a modern, clean beautiful house and they were both so warm, kind and welcoming. We had the ground floor all to ourselves with our own bathroom and big comfy bed, game room with a pool table and big tv- what a dream! We came on a rainy weekend, but they have a gorgeous pool and yard we'll have to come back for. Breakfast was delicious!!! french toast, eggs, fruit, fresh coffee and real maple syrup! all elegantly and perfectly prepared. Definitely the best option if you are visiting the area. You will feel at home with such wonderful hosts.

Absolutely gorgeous and impeccably clean home with superb amenities. Wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy them! Shell and Ned were so friendly and let us use the kitchen to prepare our lunch for the beach. Our only disappointment was the breakfast. Although it was very good,the website said "made to order" and gave us the impression there would be a variety. My husband and teenage girls are not fond of quiche,so the girls ate the fruit and potatoes that accompanied the dish(my husband ate it all to be polite!). We asked for another option like a bagel, apparently there weren't others. Toast or cereal should have been an option for simple eaters! We will definitely be back-but with pop tarts for the girls!

This is not your everyday B&B. It is modern, comfortable, big and a great deal. The food was wonderful and the pool was just about perfect. It is not what you usually think of when you think B&Bs, it is not old, there is nothing quirky about it, it is not small, and it isn't right in the middle of a town. It is on a cul-du-sac, so it is secluded. By the pool, you feel like you are deep in the woods. Those who gave poor ratings obviously didn't do any research, if you want old, quaint and cramped, stay somewhere else. If you want a modern interpretation of a B&B and a great hotel alternative, I highly recommend Shells. We'll be coming back soon.

What a Thanksgiving weekend! We rocked the Turkey Leg 5k. I PR'd it at 30 minutes even. (I am not fast, this is a big deal for me!) The 3 older kids ran the 1k with their cousins. I ended up running it with Girl child #1. It was hilarious. About as much drama, tears and excitement as you could ask for in one loop of a park trail. Talk about an emotional roller coaster! Once she saw the finish line and realized everyone was cheering for her, she was on cloud nine. She's already asking when her next race can be. Our brunch afterward at WLB's brother's house was scrumptious. I took Pumpkin bread made with almond butter and coconut orange bread. They were both delicious. Add to that crestless quiche with spinach, mushroom and cheese, ham, and fruit salad and the spread was awesome. We stopped at home to shower and change and went to my parents house for the afternoon feast. My parents did a gluten-free spread. It was mostly awesome. The turkey... oh the poor turkey. My dad likes to carve early and then stick the platter back in the oven to keep warm.... which turns the whole shebang a into dried out chewy mess with requires smothering in either gravy or cran sauce. I didn't care that much. My attention was stolen by the incredible greek salad my sis in law made. My pies were so yummy- the chocolate pie was super dark, and wasn't as well received by my family. But the 2nd chocolate pie which we took to WLB's fam for dessert was slightly less thick and dark and was so perfect! They LOVED it.
Friday WLB went for a crazy run with Matt and running buddies while I finally introduced Alicia to yoga. There were kids everywhere, so it wasn't the centered oasis I wanted it to be, but it was still good. I helped her decorate for Christmas and arrived home late with no decorating mojo left to spare on my own digs. Today we went to our nieces baptism and family lunch. I took the same Greek salad that I mooned over before and passed the recipe around as others mooned over it too. I could live off of it. Mmmmm...
Greek Salad
2 heads of Romaine lettuce
¼ lb. bacon-crumbled
¼ lb. feta cheese
1/3 cup parmesan cheese
2/3 cup slivered almonds (browning is optional)
1 package of sliced mushrooms
2-3 avocados
3-4 roma tomatoes
1 tsp. salt
½ tsp. pepper
¾ cup light olive oil
4 Tbsp. lemon juice
3 garlic cloves (minced)
*Note: wait to add the dressing until ready to serve
I haven't been careful enough about what I've eaten. Nothing horrible, just a bite here and there out of courtesy or curiosity that I should have skipped. At one point my intestines were having muscle spasms (weird feeling- like regular baby kicks, but I'm not preg!). Mostly I've just been super bloated and uncomfortable in the evenings. I'm glad to be getting back to our normal food routines.

The Friends of the Jacobus Vanderveer House invite the public to celebrate National Women's History Month with "A Celebration of Women's History" on Sunday, March 10, at 2 p.m. at the Jacobus Vanderveer House and Museum in Bedminster, New Jersey.
Marylu Korkuch, Vice President and Federal Affairs Director for The Chubb Corporation, will speak about the milestones of the women's movement, including suffrage and the women who pioneered change in Congress, during her presentation. Korkuch has worked at Chubb for 38 years in various areas of the Corporation including Communications, Public Relations, and Commercial Insurance, before moving into her current role in Washington, DC in 1998.
The Jacobus Vanderveer House will be open from 1– 4 p.m. on March 10 for visitors to tour the house before and after the presentation, which lasts for approximately 30 minutes.
The Jacobus Vanderveer House served as headquarters for General Henry Knox during the winter of 1778-79 and is the only known building still standing that was associated with the Pluckemin Artillery Cantonment, believed to be the first installation in America to train officers in engineering and artillery. The Jacobus Vanderveer House interprets Dutch colonial life in America as well as the stay by General Knox and his family during the 1778-79 encampment. A National and New Jersey Historic Site, the Jacobus Vanderveer House is a true landmark that offers a vivid look into the history of our country and the lives of those who made it.
The Jacobus Vanderveer House is located at 955 Route 202/206, Bedminster, behind River Road Park. Entrance to the house is through River Road Park. For directions and more information about the Jacobus Vanderveer House, visit jvanderveerhouse.com.

AT&T Kills $10 Texting Plans, Pushes Unlimited Options
AT&T is forcing new wireless customers to choose between an unlimited text messaging plan and a 20-cent per-message rate.

AT&T Kills $10 Texting Plans, Pushes Unlimited Options -- InformationWeekAT&T Kills $10 Texting Plans, Pushes Unlimited Options - mobility Blog
In the midst of ongoing controversy over the company's proposed acquisition of competitor T-Mobile, AT&T has confirmed reports that the company has revamped its text messaging plans, cutting out its popular $10 Messaging 1000 plan entirely and forcing customers to choose between a $20 unlimited plan or pay 20 cents per message.
According to a screenshot that first appeared on the gadget blog Engadget late last night, the change will take place on this coming Sunday, August 21. The move will affect new customers only at this time, and it is not yet clear whether or when existing AT&T customers will be affected. AT&T has reportedly said that current customers will be able to keep their $10 texting plans, at least for the time being.

Editorial policy
Miranda is an independently reviewed scholarly e-journal. Each thematic issue includes a wide range of articles on the social and cultural practices of the English-speaking world. Some issues are supervised by guest editors.
Miranda also welcomes contributions unrelated to the thematic issue : literature, linguistics, history, politics, sociology, anthropology, esthetics, with the aim of encouraging the broadest possible spectrum of approaches, involving gender, ethnicity, ideology, and theory.
Miranda may accept non-scholarly contributions within a thematic issue, albeit on a highly selective basis. The nature of the contribution is then mentioned before its title.
Miranda publishes both solicited and unsolicited articles. We encourage submissions mainly in English, but also in French, or any other language, provided a translation is submitted in either French or English.
No manuscript will be considered if it is concurrently under consideration by another journal or is soon to be published elsewhere, apart from the open archives. The editors may consider publishing previously printed material, provided the original publisher has granted one-time printing rights to Miranda.
Authors must allow for a minimum of one year to elapse after the release of the above-mentioned publication before they can re-publish and distribute it. They may then make use of their contribution on other electronic or paper media provided they do not alter the version previously published by Miranda. In this case, the ensuing publication must acknowledge the initial online publication, and a link must be added to the page on which the contribution appears, pointing towards the site where the original publication is already available.
All articles will be made anonymous and handed over to two outside referees for acceptance or rejection according to the « double-blind review » principle. Reports will be provided to authors upon request. Even when an article is accepted, the editorial board reserves the right to ask for changes, both in form and scope.
Miranda does not accept abstracts and proposals – only finished articles in compliance with the submission guidelines posted on the Miranda website will be considered for publication. Indeed, authors will have to observe the Guidelines to authors and style-sheet, otherwise their article will not be accepted. Articles may include sound, visual or video material, provided it has been pre-formatted into the text of the article by the author and the necessary rights have been secured. Miranda cannot and will not commit any funds to the securing of reproduction rights. However, it will be possible to include internet links referring to these pictures and documents, if they are available online. Miranda assumes no responsibility for the contributors' statements of fact or opinion.
All enquiries regarding the editorial policy should be addressed to the chief editor: Muriel Adrien (muriel.adrien[at]univ-tlse2.fr).

Reviewers should include a brief biographical statement of no more than 50 words. Please indicate the total word-length (including footnotes). Reviews should not exceed 1,500 words.
Reviews will be preferably in English, regardless of the language of the item reviewed. The review editor will accept reviews in French.
Please submit the review to the review editor as an electronic attachment (Word file) within two months after reception of the item to review. Please avoid notes. Please indicate the page number when you quote from the book (between square parentheses).
Please comply with the Guidelines to authors and style-sheet.

A tax on sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) could help lower the incidence of obesity and type 2 diabetes among consumers in India, according to a modeling study in India (Basu S et al. PLoS Med. 2014;11[1]:e1001682).
Researchers suggest that a tax on sugar-sweetened beverages could help reduce the incidence of obesity and type 2 diabetes in India.
Researchers from the United States, the United Kingdom, and India used survey data from 100 855 Indian households relating the consumption of SSBs—soft drinks sweetened with cane sugar or other caloric sweeteners—to price variations to determine how price changes affect demand. Taking into account the current rate of increase in SSB sales in India, they estimated that a 20% SSB tax could prevent 11.2 million cases of overweight or obesity and 400 000 cases of type 2 diabetes over the period from 2014 to 2023. The model predicted the largest effect of the tax would be among young men in rural areas.
