This would be a perfect gift for a teen girl to use as her diary, or find an artist's sketch book with blank pages for your budding Picasso. While the cheerful bird design is perfect, I can imagine a simple cat, a horse or a star (think about using your cookie cutters to help create the simple shapes).

Added a new bumper sticker on my car: "got goats?" I welcome two additions to my therapeutic and oh so funny farm, MerryGoat2 and Rio. I had a bumper sticker that I had printed saying, "Don't let yesterday use up today!"
Think about how often we hang on to grudges, hurt and resentment. Research and common sense tells us that it is simply not good for us (US!) and that if you are a Christian, especially in the Easter season, you are ignoring the commandment to forgive. Just for your information, when Jesus prayed in agony in Gethsemane the night before his crucifixion, he took on the sins of the world – not just ours, but those who hurt us as well.
To not forgive is literally an insult to what the Savior did for us all. Religious, spiritual or not – it is important to know that forgiveness does not mean you condone the actions of the offending party.
Dear Liz,
My sisters and I are all just uncovering a long-time family secret that two of us were sexually abused as children by our stepfather. We are in our 40s now. We've all had bouts of depression and anxiety and issues in our marriages.
It came out during counseling of our youngest sister. Luckily, her counselor helped us sit down together and piece together that part of our past. As painful as that was (and we are all seeking counseling now), it has been worth it. Our biggest issue that we agree is keeping us stuck, however, is the forgiveness part. Help.
Dear "Stuck,"
Congratulations on facing one of life's greatest, hurtful, confusing challenges and seeking help through counseling and support from one another. One out of every four girls and one out of every five boys have been sexually abused in some manner or another before the age of 18. And it IS fixable.
The prognosis is really good when you seek help with a competent, licensed professional who is experienced in this issue and knows how to walk you through to wholeness – including what to do with certain family relationships and how to protect others who may still be at risk. (For great information, go to "From Darkness to Light" at www.d2l.org. Or simply google the name). About forgiveness. It is a process, just like your counseling, and it involves having the faith to slowly remove the power that person had to hurt you. As I said above, belief in God is a huge help, because it gives you comfort, hope, direction – a more stable future. Forgiveness – true forgiveness – involves letting go of the bitterness, fear, "they should haves" and all the other internal dialogue that keeps us stuck. An issue like sexual abuse is huge and obvious. People question, "Why forgive a person who can do such a horrible thing?"
Holding onto that negative energy is BAD for YOUR mental, physical and spiritual well-being. Hatred doesn't hurt the other person, it only eats you alive. And, as mentioned above, it is a commandment (for our own good and a test of faith that the Lord will deal with the offending person). In Mark 11:26, it says, "But, if you don't forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your wrongdoing." Some would say, "Yeah, but, I don't go around sexually abusing innocent children." Understood. Google the "power of forgiveness" and you will find countless inspiration. It is a final point to freedom from the past. Again, it helps you succeed at the healthy goal of "Don't let yesterday use up today!" Best wishes as you unravel all that this entails and embrace healing and wholeness!
Dear Liz,
My husband never says, "I'm sorry," for hardly anything. Is it so hard? His rationale is "Why do I need to apologize when what I did was an accident? I didn't mean to hurt you." Or worse, he claims that what he said couldn't have hurt me. How can I tell him how much that hurts extra? I want him to care about my feelings at least a little.
Dear "Hurt,"
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Women need to feel heard – and especially that their feelings matter (whether you feel the same way or not). Things escalate when you don't extend a simple, "I'm sorry that hurt your feelings." And learn to mean it. You both will be so much happier! And you won't create the scenario where the woman gets louder and louder just to get a really simple, loving statement from you! "Sorry honey" goes a long way. And then we, the injured party, have to let it go unless we are in true danger. Please seek help. It sounds like your husband is discounting you, which is one of the underpinnings of an abusive relationship.

Throughout US history, US society has been characterized by its high degree of residential mobility. Previous data suggest a relationship between mobility and increased health risk, but this relationship might be confounded by unmeasured adverse childhood experiences (ACEs).
To examine the relationship of childhood residential mobility to health problems during adolescence and adulthood and to determine how much these apparent relationships may result from underlying ACEs.
Design, Setting, and Participants
Retrospective cohort study of 8116 adults who completed a survey that included childhood residential mobility, ACEs (childhood abuse, childhood neglect, and household dysfunction), and multiple health problems.
Main Outcome Measures
Number of childhood residential moves and number of ACEs (ACE score) were assessed for relationships to depressed affect, attempted suicide, alcoholism, smoking, early sexual initiation, and teenaged pregnancy.
After adjustment for demographic variables, the risk of high residential mobility during childhood (≥8 moves) was 1.7- to 3.1-fold for each ACE, and increased with the number of ACEs. Compared with respondents who never moved, the odds of health risk for respondents with high mobility during childhood ranged from 1.3 (for smoking) to 2.5 (for suicide). However, when the number of ACEs was entered into multivariate models, the relationship between mobility and health problems was greatly reduced.
Adverse childhood experiences are strongly associated with frequent residential mobility. Moreover, the apparent relationship between childhood mobility and various health risks is largely explained by ACEs. Thus, previous studies showing a relationship between residential mobility and negative outcomes were likely confounded by unmeasured ACEs.
Historians have referred to US history as the legacy of a restless migratory people.1 In fact, during the 1990s, more than 16% of heads of households moved every year.2 For example, from March 1999 to March 2000, an estimated 43 million Americans changed residences.2
During the past decade, however, concern has emerged regarding the potential negative effects of such transitions on children. Emerging research indicates that frequent changes of residence during childhood are associated with increased risk of numerous developmental and behavioral problems among children, including poor academic achievement,3- 6 emotional and behavioral problems,3,7,8 substance abuse and sexual promiscuity,9,10 and juvenile delinquency.11,12
Although previous studies have inferred that these negative effects are primarily due to changes in residence, per se, some researchers have acknowledged that residential mobility is associated with family disadvantages, such as single parenthood and poverty, that could negatively affect children's well-being12- 15 and that frequent moving may be a marker for various family problems.4 Frequent changes in residence could also intensify preexisting family problems, especially if the move is not welcomed.3 Thus, residential instability may be a proxy for unobserved variables, such as family instability,12 that act as underlying causes harmful to children's welfare and healthy development.
Despite the existence of multiple previous studies on the relationship of residential mobility to negative health and social outcomes, limited information exists about the role of many unobserved childhood exposures that may occur with higher frequency among mobile families. These exposures likely include emotional and physical abuse, domestic violence, mental health problems, substance abuse among parents and household members, and parental marital discord, all of which could affect family mobility and the appropriate social and neurodevelopment16 of the children involved. Thus, the extent to which the apparent effects of residential mobility on children's short- and long-term well-being may actually be caused from underlying abuse, violence, and related traumatic stressors is unclear.
We examined data from the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) Study17 to assess the relationship of childhood residential mobility to various health risks. We then used multivariate models to determine whether the apparent risks of residential mobility can be explained by previously unmeasured exposure to a wide range of ACEs, including abuse and neglect, domestic violence, and related forms of serious household dysfunction (ie, confounding).18
The ACEs Study is a collaboration between Kaiser Permanente's Health Appraisal Clinic in San Diego, Calif, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, Ga. The study was approved by the institutional review boards of Kaiser Permanente and the Office for Protection from Research Risks at the National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md.
From August 1, 1995, to March 31, 1996, and from June 1, 1997, to October 31, 1997, the ACEs Study implemented 2 survey waves among Kaiser Permanente members who underwent a standardized medical examination at the Health Appraisal Clinic. Wave 2 collected additional information that was not part of the wave 1 survey, such as childhood neglect, the number of times residents moved during childhood, and parental education. Consequently, for this article, only the wave 2 data were analyzed. The wave 2 survey data included 8667 members, with a response rate of 65.0%. Of the respondents, 6.4% (n = 551) were excluded because of missing information about race, self or parental educational attainment, and number of residential moves during childhood. This brings the final number for this study to 8116, including 53.8% women (n = 4363) and 46.2% men (n = 3753).
Questions about ACEs included on the mailed questionnaire asked specifically about the respondent's first 18 years of life (Table 1). These experiences included emotional, physical, and sexual abuse; emotional and physical neglect; and growing up with domestic violence, parental marital discord, substance abuse, mental illness, and incarceration of a household member (definitions are listed in Table 1). Questions from the Conflict Tactics Scale19 were used to define emotional and physical abuse and domestic violence. Questions on neglect were adapted from the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire,20 and 4 questions on childhood sexual abuse were adapted from Wyatt.21
For each respondent, the number of ACEs was summed to create an ACE score, which ranged from 0 (unexposed) to 10 (exposed to all categories). The ACE score was an ordinal variable used as a summary measure for the cumulative effect of multiple ACEs.
The assessment of reliability of the responses to the ACE questions among 644 persons, who serendipitously visited the clinic during wave 1 and 2 operations questions and were inadvertently included in the ACEs Study twice, showed moderate to high agreement.22 The specific question about childhood residential mobility that was included in the questionnaire was as follows: "During your childhood, how many times did you move residences, even in the same town?"
Previous publications22- 27 from the ACEs Study have shown that ACEs have a strong dose-response relationship to a wide range of health risk factors that contribute to the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the United States. This study focused on 6 outcome variables that represent mental health (depressed affect and suicide attempts), addictive behaviors (alcoholism and smoking), and sexual behaviors (early sexual initiation [age, ≤14 years] and teenaged pregnancy [age, ≤18 years]).
Ever smoking was defined by having ever smoked 100 or more cigarettes. Depressed affect was determined by affirmative responses to the question, "Have you had or do you now have depression or feel down in the dumps?" Attempted suicide and alcoholism were identified by a positive response to the respective questions, "Have you ever attempted to commit suicide?" and "Have you ever considered yourself to be an alcoholic?"
All statistical analyses were performed using SAS statistical software.28 Adjusted prevalences and means were obtained from general linear models. Multivariate logistic regression was used to estimate the strength of associations between residential mobility and ACE score and each of the 10 categories of ACEs and the 6 health outcomes. Demographic covariates in all models included the following: age at survey, sex, race (nonwhite vs white), and educational attainment of self, mother, and father (high school diploma, some college, or college graduate vs less than high school diploma). Because some studies29- 33 reported that socioeconomic status, such as poverty and lower educational level of parents, was associated with mobility, we controlled for parental educational level. By using SAS statistical software diagnostics, no evidence of collinearity between the ACE score and demographic factors was detected. A set of 6 dummy variables for ACE scores (0, 1, 2, 3, 4-5, and ≥6) and a set of 4 dummy variables for number of residential moves (0, 1-3, 4-7, and ≥8) were used. Consistent with Wood et al,3 the 90th percentile (ie, ≥8 residential moves) was designated as a high degree of childhood residential mobility.
To determine whether the effect of residential mobility on negative health outcomes was a result of hidden effects of ACEs (confounding), we used logistic models with and without controlling for ACE score while controlling for demographic covariates. Respondents with incomplete information about an ACE were considered as not having that experience. This exclusion would most likely result in conservative estimates of the relationships between ACE and outcomes because respondents who had potentially been exposed to an experience would always be misclassified as unexposed. To assess the potential effect of this assumption, the analyses were repeated after excluding respondents with missing information on any of the ACEs; no differences were found in the results.
The mean (SD) age of respondents was 56 (15.1) years. Of the respondents, 75% were white, 37% were college graduates, and only 8% had not graduated from high school. Also, 84% of the respondents had moved at least once during childhood. The crude mean number of moves was 3.7. A high degree of childhood residential mobility (moved ≥8 times) was reported significantly (all groups P<.001) more often by respondents aged 19 to 34 years (10.2%) than by respondents who were older (8%). After adjusting for demographic covariates, the prevalence of a high degree of mobility for black, white, Hispanic (ie, anyone who gave a positive response to the question: "Are you of Mexican, Latino, or Hispanic origin?" was treated as a Hispanic), and American Indian respondents was 4.8%, 12.4%, 7.5%, and 16.5%, respectively. Asian respondents had the lowest rate (2.1%) of high mobility. No difference was observed for respondent's sex or educational attainment. Although a slight decrease was found in the number of moves in relation to further maternal education and a slight increase was found in the number of moves in relation to further paternal education, these differences had no statistical significance.
After controlling for demographic covariates, the mean number of childhood moves among respondents with exposure to any type of ACE was 4.3 or greater for each case and was significantly lower among respondents without such type of exposure (≤3.6 for each case) (Table 1). The adjusted prevalence of moving 8 times or more was considerably greater among respondents growing up with childhood abuse, neglect, and multiple serious household dysfunctions than among respondents without these experiences. For respondents with experiences of being physically neglected, observing parental marital discord, witnessing domestic violence, and living with a criminal household member, the odds of a high degree of residential mobility were double or triple those of their counterparts who had no such experiences (Table 1). Moreover, we observed a robust and graded relationship between the number of ACEs and the number of moves during childhood. The adjusted prevalence of moving 8 times or more was 6.2% for respondents with 0 ACEs, but 26.3% for respondents with 6 or more ACEs, a 6-fold increase in odds (Table 1).
Similarly, as the frequency of change of residences increased, the likelihood for each of the ACEs also increased (Figure). The adjusted mean number of ACEs for respondents who never moved and for those who moved 1 to 3, 4 to 7, or 8 or more times was 1.3, 1.5, 2.1, and 2.7, respectively (P<.001). In the final logistic models, we assessed the relationship of residential mobility to the odds of reporting each of 6 health outcomes, including depressed affect, attempted suicide, smoking, alcoholism, early sexual initiation, and teenaged pregnancy.
The adjusted prevalences and odds ratios of each category of adverse childhood experience (ACE) by the number of residential moves during childhood. A, Childhood abuse and neglect ACEs. B, Household dysfunction ACEs. The height of each bar represents the adjusted prevalence of ACEs; number above each bar, the adjusted odds ratios of the ACE comparing each number of residential move categories with the referent (never moved); and bold-faced numbers, data that are statistically different (P< .001 for all) from the referent.
As shown in the individual models in Tables 2, 3, and 4, the frequency of mobility and the number of ACEs were strongly associated with all 6 health outcomes. Compared with respondents who never moved, the odds of health risk for respondents who changed residences 8 times or more ranged from 1.3 (for smoking) to 2.5 (for suicide). The ACE score showed a strong graded relationship to all health risks, as seen in prior publications.17,23,24,34- 41 However, the strength of the relationship between childhood residential mobility and the 6 health outcomes was greatly reduced after adjusting for the ACE score in the full models, whereas the odds of health outcomes for each ACE score level remained nearly unchanged. Further evidence that ACEs are important risk factors for all health risks comes from the finding that the receiver operating characteristic curve for the fit of the model that included only mobility was dramatically improved with the addition of the ACE score. Conversely, the addition of mobility to the individual model of the ACE score did not improve the fit of the model (data not shown).
Residential mobility during childhood was strongly related to 10 types of ACEs. Moreover, as the number of these experiences (ACE score) increased, residential mobility increased in a graded fashion. Thus, ACEs may often be hidden among families with high residential mobility.
We found a graded relationship between the frequency of childhood residential moves and deleterious health outcomes throughout the lifespan, including early sexual initiation, teenaged pregnancy, depressed affect, attempted suicide, smoking, and alcoholism. Similarly, as the number of ACEs increased, the risk of these outcomes also increased in a strong graded fashion. When we simultaneously entered childhood residential mobility and the number of ACEs into multivariate models, the apparent risk associated with childhood residential mobility was reduced or eliminated, whereas the risk associated with ACEs remained graded and robust. Thus, the apparent relationship between childhood residential mobility and negative health and social outcomes is mostly, if not solely, due to the effects of underlying ACEs that occur with high frequency in extremely mobile families.
Decreased social capital,42 such as ties to important agents of socialization and the attachments that help to define a child's world, was previously thought to explain the negative effect of mobility.12,42- 45 In this theoretical scenario, children who moved may use certain negative behaviors, such as criminal delinquency,11 alcohol and other drug abuse,8 and sexual promiscuity,9 as a means of gaining acceptance and approval in the new environment and achieving a sense of security and protection that the move had compromised. Although social capital is likely diminished for children (and their families) as a result of residential mobility, our findings clearly show that children in these situations are likely coping with multiple traumatic and stressful exposures (ie, ACEs) that have their own direct effects on childhood (neuro)development and that may also exacerbate vulnerabilities that accompany changes in residences, schools, and various social attachments.
Although most of the association between childhood residential mobility and health risks was a result of underlying ACEs, the connection between negative health effects and frequent moving cannot be ignored. The risk of alcoholism and teenaged pregnancy remained significant among respondents who moved 8 or more times, even after adjusting for the ACE score. Because childhood residential mobility has a strong and graded relationship to ACEs, in a highly mobile society like America, the childhood residential mobility can be used as an indication for real-time screening to uncover otherwise hidden exposures to childhood traumatic experiences that, because of their tendency to be kept secret, usually remain undetected by child care providers.
This study has several limitations. First, because the question regarding residential mobility is only a single question about the number of moves, we were unable to compare the results we report with those that may have been found using other questions about residential mobility. Second, the information for residential moves, ACEs, and health outcome variables was retrospective and self-reported. In fact, the estimates for the relationships of ACEs and mobility attributed to the health risks are likely to be conservative, because each of the questions about ACEs and the assessment of health outcomes addressed sensitive topics and, thus, were likely to be underreported. Because both exposures (ACEs and residential mobility) and outcome were likely to be underreported, the results we report herein have most likely been biased toward the null,46 thereby leading to underestimation of the strength of the relationship between childhood residential mobility and ACEs to health outcomes.
Another potential limitation is uncertainty about the temporal sequence of ACEs and residential mobility that we studied. However, this study was not intended to identify any cause-and-effect relationship between ACEs and residential mobility. Rather, our goals were to quantify the relationship of each of these exposures to negative outcomes and to assess the degree to which previously unmeasured ACEs may account for the reported associations between residential mobility and these outcomes.
Because of the nature of this study, evidence regarding the short-term harms to children that resulted from moving, such as developmental problems or poor school performance, was unavailable. Instead, this study concentrated on assessing health risks and social problems from adolescence to adulthood to discover the long-term effect of childhood residential mobility that had not been assessed in previous studies.
Although information on some demographic characteristics that were associated with mobility3,47- 49 was not measured, such as family income and parents' occupations, the educational level of respondents' parents was used as a proxy for socioeconomic status during childhood. The analysis showed that some of the estimated health risk of high mobility was linked to lower education of either the mother or the father, yet the contribution of parental education diminished when we controlled for the number of ACEs in logistic models.
The occurrence of multiple health risks throughout the life of respondents whose families were highly mobile during the respondents' childhoods seems to be largely, if not solely, attributable to the higher frequency of ACEs in these households. These findings have important implications for future studies, public policy, school systems, and physicians or clinical practitioners. Improved understanding and recognition of these hidden short- and long-term effects of ACEs on children living in highly mobile families may prove to be valuable for understanding and ameliorating childhood trauma that influences the health course through adulthood.
Although residential mobility can be a benefit and improvement for children, allowing them in some cases to move into more protective and safer environments, the high degree of residential mobility among families in which abuse, violence, and related serious household dysfunction occur also represents a serious challenge to providing continuity of care for troubled families and children who are abused, neglected, or exposed to domestic violence. In addition, educators and health care providers need to be made aware of the strong possibility that children who move frequently may have other unobserved family problems. It is also important for schools and other agencies working with children to offer appropriate counseling for those affected families with children who move frequently. This type of counseling may help health and social service professionals identify stressful and abusive environments, prevent health risk behaviors and social problems among youth during the early stages, and, ultimately, lead to improvement in health from adolescence to adulthood.

MANSFIELD - Mansfield University marked Veterans Day with an appreciation luncheon for all students, faculty and staff who are serving or have served in the U.S. military.
MU President Fran Hendricks, who retired after 33 years as a brigadier general in the U.S. Air Force to return to his alma mater this year, told the gathering, "We owe so much to our veterans and it's a debt we can never truly repay. Their stories are the stories of our history because America rose to greatness on the shoulders of their service and their sacrifice. We owe them our very way of life, our freedom to live, work and raise our families as we please."
Hendricks cited examples of veterans' contributions and leadership throughout U.S. history up to present day and thanked and honored them all for their service.

Stanford Jumps to Front of LPGA LOTTE Championship
While the 18-hole leaders struggled Friday, American Angela Stanford excelled. The 36-year-old Fort Worth native fired a flawless eight-birdie 64 to soar into the halfway lead at the LPGA LOTTE Championship. The $1.7 million tournament started Wednesday at Ko Olina Golf Club in Kapolei on the island of Oahu.
Stanford, who won the tournament in 2009 as one of her five career victories - beating Michelle Wie in the final round, opened with an even-par 72. But she's now at 8-under 136, a stroke ahead of native Hawaiian and crowd favorite Wie, who followed up her opening 70 with a 67.
After her 72, Stanford knew she'd have to get something going Thursday to get into contention. "Well, honestly I was just trying to make it through today and that might have helped my mentality," said Stanford, who recorded five straight birdies on the front nine and had another streak of three on the back side.
Wie, who has several public appearances scheduled this week in addition to trying to win a golf tournament, is trying to relax while back in her home state.
"This week, I think I'm trying not to put so much pressure on myself," said the 24-year-old Honolulu native, who finished second two weeks ago to winner Lexi Thompson in the LPGA's first major, the Kraft Nabisco Championship. "I'm trying to go out there and have fun."
Two behind Stanford are American Cristie Kerr (66) and South Koreans Inbee Park (68), So Yeon Ryu (70) and Hyo Joo Kim (70). Kim began the second round tied for the lead with Se Ri Pak and Ryu. Pak had a 71 to drop to 5-under 139 and a share of seventh with Ha Ha Jang (69).
Sixteen-year-old amateur So Young Lee shot a 70 and is tied for ninth at 4-under with American Katie Burnett (69).
The 36-hole cut was set at 4-over 148.

The sidewalk tables in front of Union Bear in West Village are a pleasant place to sit on a cool weekend evening. The street bustles with moviegoers heading into the Magnolia, and there's a happy buzz rising from the tables around you. Squint, and you can almost imagine you're in an outdoor cafe in the real West Village — you know, the one a bit east of here. At least, you might imagine that until your "NY Pie" arrives.
With the political debates still fresh in our minds, let's put it this way: Union Bear, I'm from New York, I knew New York pizza, New York pizza was a favorite of mine. Union Bear, this is no New York pizza.
It's not bad pizza: The lamb and goat cheese pie is dotted with little nubbins of lamb meatball and has a nice goaty tang. But the crust is soft and bready, with none of the tooth-resisting chew and coal-fired char of the real thing.
It's a little hard to tell just what Union Bear wants to be. The ground floor, really just an entryway and long bar, is covered by an arch of curved metal bars draped with strings of lights. The subterranean dining room has white clapboard walls, wooden shingles and nautical-looking sconces. So: upstairs, midcentury German metro station; downstairs, New England chowder house.
Union Bear aims to be a gastropub, I suppose, and it has the pub part down pretty well. There are dozens of beers on draft, many from Texas, and many sporting those archly hip names so beloved of microbrewers — Big Sky Moose Drool and Lefthand Sawtooth Nitro and such. The two dozen wines by the glass include some non-run-of- the-mill offerings like a Van Duzer Pinot Gris from Oregon and a Guigal Crozes-Hermitage.
On the gastro end of things, Union Bear does rather better than your average bear, er, bar. A starter of short rib sliders features darkly winy, savory shreds of meat topped with pickle slices, melted provolone and spicy aioli. Too bad there's so much bun overwhelming this tasty filling. Another starter of sweetly sticky, spicy Dr Pepper wings, though, will take you back to basic bar food.
This bear is an omnivore: Salads are some of the more carefully thought-out offerings. The Ms. Julie's, for example, features greens from Tom Spicer, everybody's favorite purveyor of all things verdant and local, plus things like pancetta, grana padano cheese, a runny-yolked boiled egg cooked for exactly five minutes and 10 seconds (with a tip of the toque to celebrity chef David Chang). Yes, it's all a bit precious and trendy — but it's also interesting and good.
In a more pedestrian vein, there are some solid sandwiches here, too: a nice, hammy Cubano and a crunchy fried chicken. For dessert, there's soft-serve vanilla ice cream tricked out with swirls of things like orange peel and caramel, all brought to you by friendly, briskly efficient young servers. So what if the pizza's New York pretensions leave you feeling grumpy as a bear?

One alternative to an acquisition is an option-based deal, which may become more favorable to pharmaceutical companies as a way to mitigate risk. This structure, which requires a relatively small initial payment and provides an exclusive purchase options upon the results of clinical trials, allows pharmaceutical companies to hedge their financial exposure until R&D risks are known more fully, and avoid overpaying for an unsuccessful drug candidate.
In the recently announced acquisition option transaction between Cephalon and Ception, for example, Cephalon paid $100 million for an option to acquire Ception Therapeutics. Cephalon may exercise the option to purchase Ception for $250 million at any time until final clinical trials are known, thus protecting itself from exposure to risk of failed clinical trials that it may otherwise have to assume in an acquisition.
Ception will also receive the benefit of the initial $100 million investment and shareholders may also receive additional payments tied to clinical and regulatory milestones.
Another alternative to an acquisition is a corporate partnering or strategic alliance transaction. These deals can be structured to give biotech companies the capital needed to complete testing, as well as an infrastructure and finishing level that biotech companies cannot develop on their own without significant expense. Such transactions can also provide biotech companies with a less dilutive source of capital, which is even more attractive considering the recently depressed valuation of many biotech companies and the current financing environment.
Pharmaceutical companies benefit from filling the gap in their current product pipelines and can structure their investment so that, at first, relatively little capital is at risk. Pharmaceutical companies can exit the arrangement if milestones, such as successful clinical trials, are not met, thus avoiding future funding obligations. One recent example of such a strategic alliance arrangement is the Merck/Galapagos diabetes and obesity drug partnership announced in January 2009.
In this deal, Galapagos received $2 million initially with development and regulatory milestone payments that could exceed $228 million. It is also eligible for unspecified sales milestones and royalties for any product that reaches the market. Merck benefits by receiving an exclusive option to license candidates for clinical development and worldwide commercialization.
The combination of the need for new products by pharmaceutical companies and the need for capital by biotech companies, together with a volatile market and uncertain economy, may have a significant impact on the big pharma/biotech deal market in 2009. These factors may drive significant deal activity, despite the economy, and result in a buyer's market as valuations will likely trend lower in 2009.
A reduced tolerance for risk, however, may result in a larger percentage of announced acquisitions failing to close. Further, pharmaceutical companies will have strong incentives to move away from acquisitions and toward partnering and option deals with biotech companies. As a result the number of acquisitions, relative to other types of corporate deals, may decrease.

The restaurant stayed open late just to accommodate the reality star and her party of five. Kardashian, 33, and her pals, including her best bud Jonathan Cheban and club LIV maestro David Grutman, didn't arrive until after 11 p.m.
"They chowed down on sesame prawn, jasmine ribs, Szechuan beef, wheat prawn, mabo tofu and other signature dishes," a source tells PEOPLE. "They loved the food."
For dessert, they enjoyed mango custard, lime mousse and fresh berries.
"Kim was aglow, laughing and joking with her friends," the source tells PEOPLE. "They were all super polite and so gracious, continuing to thank the staff for keeping the restaurant open for them."

Secretary-General Ban carries Olympic flag during Opening of the London 2012 Olympics27 July 2012
London (UNOSDP) – At the Opening Ceremony of London 2012 Olympic Games on 27 July, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon joined eight others as a bearer of the Olympic flag.
After the opening ceremony, Secretary-General Ban said: "The Olympic movement and the United Nations share the same values and ideals, and are working ever closer together in the cause of peace and development. It is a true honour to represent the United Nations – and everyone who serves the United Nations – at the opening of the London 2012 Games."
Mr. Ban, accompanied by Madam Ban Soon-taek, had arrived in London on the afternoon of Thursday, 26 July, on a flight from Sarajevo.
That evening, the Secretary-General ran with the Olympic Torch near the Houses of Parliament in central London.
The next day, before taking part in the opening of the Games, the Secretary-General joined the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs of the United Kingdom, William Hague, for an event to highlight the Olympic Truce.
That evening, the Secretary-General, accompanied by Madam Ban, attended a reception hosted by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace before heading to the Olympic Stadium for the grand opening.
The Secretary-General and Madam Ban left London on the morning of Saturday, 28 July, and arrived in New York the same afternoon.
Throughout his stay in London, the Secretary-General was accompanied by his Special Adviser on Sport for Development and Peace, Mr. Wilfried Lemke.

I live in a fantastic neighborhood, BUT...there are absolutely no hills around here! It's the one serious lack.
It is a nice hill behind my kids' school. The intended purpose of aid hill is fro sledding. My use will be for up hill running. It is long enough to get my heart rate up, steep enough to be a challenge, but short enough to not be overwhelming. It will make a great addition to my sprint workouts, it is also on the way home from work, so I can stop and run up a few times and not take too much time out from my family. That, or take a family bike ride over there and workout together.

Soundwave have ensured that Australia will still jave a hefty dose of metal to look forward to following the festival. The legendary Opeth have announced a run of tour dates throughout March.
When Opeth tours in Australia, they have a nasty habit of selling out every show they play. Given the relentless level of support behind the band, this time round is sure to be no different.
For more than 20 years now, Opeth have been deeper and deeper imprinting their name on metal. If there are any 'rules' or 'benchmarks' to be found within the genre, you can bet Opeth set them, and with each release, changes them.
The band have long been teasing fans with word of a new album slated for 2013, with Roadrunner Records posting a video with the description "Something's coming…" and the date of spring 2013 in text. So some new jams should be on the cards.

The ACLU-NJ has tremendous respect for the concerns and passion of adoptee advocates who have worked tirelessly for their cause. However, Carol Barbieri's op-ed ("ACLU on the wrong side of Adoptees' Birthright Bill," Feb. 19) misstated the ACLU-NJ's positions and New Jersey law.
Mothers who placed children up for adoption have long had a reasonable expectation of privacy, that the adoptee's original birth certificate (and mother's name) will remain confidential, except by court order.
A bill now before the Legislature upends that expectation of anonymity. Although the bill would allow birth mothers to list communication preferences, including no contact, they cannot keep identifying information confidential. This bill would grant not only the adoptee, but also the adoptee's siblings, adoptive parents and spouses access to records without consent, even from the adoptee. Adoption agencies would have to divulge names and last-known addresses, upon the adoptee's request, regardless of the birth parents' wishes.
The ACLU-NJ supports legislation that would more fairly balance the interests of adoptees, birth parents and adoptive parents by requiring the state to provide help to adoptees searching for birth parents, would facilitate reunions, and would consider a woman's choice to remain anonymous regarding what likely was a painful or troubling decision many years ago.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Integrated Global System Model is used to make probabilistic projections of climate change from 1861 to 2100. Since the model's first projections were published in 2003, substantial improvements have been made to the model, and improved estimates of the probability distributions of uncertain input parameters have become available. The new projections are considerably warmer than the 2003 projections; for example, the median surface warming in 2091–2100 is 5.1°C compared to 2.4°C in the earlier study. Many changes contribute to the stronger warming; among the more important ones are taking into account the cooling in the second half of the twentieth century due to volcanic eruptions for input parameter estimation and a more sophisticated method for projecting gross domestic product (GDP) growth, which eliminated many low-emission scenarios. However, if recently published data, suggesting stronger twentieth-century ocean warming, are used to determine the input climate parameters, the median projected warming at the end of the twenty-first century is only 4.1°C. Nevertheless, all ensembles of the simulations discussed here produce a much smaller probability of warming less than 2.4°C than implied by the lower bound of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) projected likely range for the A1FI scenario, which has forcing very similar to the median projection in this study. The probability distribution for the surface warming produced by this analysis is more symmetric than the distribution assumed by the IPCC because of a different feedback between the climate and the carbon cycle, resulting from the inclusion in this model of the carbon–nitrogen interaction in the terrestrial ecosystem.

Good but very hot - served with corn bread and apple pie. Next time I will use less chili powder.
I made this for an office potluck; threw it together the night before and stuck it in the crockpot in the morning. I used Bush's Grillin' Beans - Black Bean Fiesta - in place of plain kidney beans. Over the top! (especially with WW Cornbread made with Greek yogurt...
Terrific chili recipe! I let it simmer in the crock pot for 5 hours yesterday and we used it as taco filling. It has a lot of flavor. Even my 7 years old little boy loved it!Thank you Kittencal.

Why do world, U.S. differ on fertilizer control? An expert discusses
Countries across the globe have responded to the dangers of ammonium nitrate fertilizer by banning, restricting or tightly controlling its use. Not so in the United States.
As we reported Sunday, attempts in Washington, D.C., to crack down on the volatile fertilizer have been bogged down by industry resistance and bureaucratic gridlock. What regulations made it into law during last decade were largely paper-shuffling. They remain unenforced and unfinished.
So why have our international peers taken a different approach to ammonium nitrate fertilizer?
I asked Sam Mannan what he thought. Mannan is a nationally known chemical safety expert at Texas A&M and a frequent witness before Congress. He also spent 12 years in industry as a chemical engineer and has worked in Bangladesh and Libya.
"We, as Americans, react to things differently than people in many other countries, particularly Europe," he said in a phone interview last week on his first day home following a trip to A&M's Qatar campus.
"Their perception of risk is quite different and rightfully so. Land is very limited over there. There are population concentrations."

Teacher accused of inappropriate relationship with student
UPDATED 10:26 PM EDT Oct 11, 2013
A Kissimmee teacher was arrested Friday and accused of having an inappropriate relationship with a student.
Wayne Brown, 34, is accused of sending racy pictures.
Police said Brown's wife found explicit photos on his phone sent from a 16-year-old student.
The girl told detectives her relationship with Brown became more intimate over the last year, but said it wasn't physical. Investigators found several nude pictures of the teen on the suspect's cellphone.
According his arrest report, Brown told police he took a special interest in the student because she had "abandonment issues from her father."

Fast-food colossus McDonald's (NYSE: MCD ) disappointed investors yesterday by reporting unimpressive traffic and sales numbers for November.
McDonald's did relatively poorly in the United States, with comparable-store sales showing a 0.8% decline. Wall Street had expected an increase of 0.3%. That indicates slower traffic for McDonald's. The company's Asia-Pacific segment was also dragged down by poor numbers from Japan, where sales have been weak for more than six months.
McDonald's could be facing long-term headwinds in the United States. Fast-food workers have recently been pushing for a significantly higher minimum wage, and companies like McDonald's don't have the pricing power to pass along those higher costs to consumers.
Despite this, Motley Fool analyst Jason Moser thinks McDonald's is a great stock for income investors. It's likely to continue paying its steady, reliable dividend for years to come.

Greg was grinning, holding the fish in both hands. He hefted it. "Must be at least a fifty pounder. We'll eat for a week on this one."
It was a long slow moment before Suze could bring herself to respond. "Maybe you're going to eat for a week on it. I'm not sure I want to find out what happens if you leave a dead fish sitting, partially eaten, out in this heat. I'm pretty sure it does not involve something still being edible."
It wasn't the words that stung. It was never the words. She saw his grin go frozen, the muscles still contracting in a feigned rictus of amusement. He even managed a laugh. "Maybe we'll just eat for a day on it."
"Probably better," she agreed, hating herself for saying anything in the first place. "But it's a really nice fish. I'm impressed." They both pretended that saying so made it all better. Greg and his fish stared at her until Suze turned away, feeling a hot flush growing under the sunburn. Her face ached from smiling. "I'll go get a fire started."
"You — I'll be along in a minute." Greg sounded just as stiff as she felt. "I'll just get this cleaned." He didn't say anything else, which was probably wiser, and Suze fought the urge to run down the worn dirt path back to the village. She walked instead, as deliberate as one of those native girls with the water jars on their heads.
His hut was on the shady side of the beach. Suze kicked sand at the door, feeling childish, and then did it again, feeling spiteful. She collected firewood and imagined hitting him and his grinning fish-catching self until it was too much energy to stay angry any more, and then she lit the fire from the remains of yesterday's and blew until it blazed up too hot and too bright on the hot bright beach.
And then she waited for Greg and his fifty pound fish that would give them food poisoning in a week and she thought about what he'd said and what she'd said and set the rocks down around the fire for cooking on. She dragged the scorched turtle shell over to the stream that snaked brackishly through the village like a chalk line dividing their rooms and filled it up with water before dragging it back to start heating by the fire.
She was ready when Greg came down the path with the fish hacked into stinking pieces in a basket and the machete through his belt. She was ready, and he saw it. He drew in a breath and tightened his muscles and smiled at her. It looked like he was baring his teeth to bite her, but it was an effort. "Hi," he said.
It wasn't the words. It was never the words. "I got some water heating." Suze bared her teeth back at him, and felt her cheeks burning with the effort. Unnecessarily, she pointed at the turtle shell. "In case you needed it. For the fish."
"Thanks." It came at the end of a long pause, during which Suze kept looking at the turtle shell and Greg kept standing there staring at her. She could feel him staring at her, and for once it didn't make her angry. "Thanks."
"No problem." And she meant it, for once not loading the words with anything else. She glanced up to see Greg still staring at her. He'd forgotten to smile. He looked like she'd just hit him in the face with a piece of driftwood.
Suze took the basket of fish chunks out of his unresisting hands and laid the biggest two out on the hot rocks, hearing them sizzle. They smelled terrible. She kept her mouth shut. It was a full five minutes before Greg spoke, and he sounded like she'd pounded him one in the gut with the driftwood too.
"Tomorrow will be six months. On the island."
A hundred retorts came to her mind and she silenced them all. "I know." Her own voice sounded choked.
"And three years. Since–" He cut himself off.
"I know." The words fell into the gap left by the absence of a predicate, rushing to cover over what he hadn't said. Suze felt the old familiar anger flaring in her, preparing to hate him again, but the beach was too hot and she didn't have enough energy to keep it going. She stared at the frying fish and thought about how bad it smelled fresh, and tried to imagine it in a week.
"We could salt it," she said. "It would last then."
"It would," he agreed, and she heard the sand shifting as he came closer to her. "But it smells half-rotted already. Maybe the next one?"
It wasn't the words. It was never the words. "Maybe the next one."

Watch our webisode of Cooking with Bird Talk on how to make Food Toys
Pretzel Kabob Ingredients:
To make the Pretzel Kabob, you start by taking your unsalted pretzel sticks and sliding your fruits or vegetables midway. Use softer foods so you don't break your pretzel. For this food toy, we used blueberries, raspberries and a slice of banana to make a fruit Pretzel Kabob. We also made a vegetable Pretzel Kabob, using cooked sweet potato, squash and a cucumber.
Lettuce Wrap Ingredients:
The Lettuce Wrap can be made into a hanging toy. Take your bird's main diet or a cook mix, place it in some romaine lettuce, add some brown rice and then roll it like a burrito. Tie both ends with a leather strap and then place a hanging hook to attach it to your cage. For your larger birds, you can offer it as a food toy!
Apple Head Ingredients:
Take any apple and remove the core of the apple. Place a parsley or cilantro bunch into the empty area, making hair. Then, cut out parts of the front to create holes where you will place smaller pieces of food. Use small pieces of fruit and veggies to make up the parts of the face. Place those in the holes and you have an edible apple head for your bird to tear up.

A visitor to Amarillo fell victim to a daylight mugging as he strolled in the shopping district on Sixth Avenue on Monday.
A local resident stopped to help and captured a suspect, according to an Amarillo Police Department news release.
A 60-year-old man, whom police did not name, was walking in the 3800 block of West Sixth Avenue about 6:50 p.m. Monday when two men in their early 20s accosted him.
One brandished a silver-color pistol and demanded money but the older man resisted, the release said.
The robbers fought with the man and wrested away a bag containing the victim's wallet and checkbook, according to the release.
A passing driver witnessed the scuffle and chased one man on foot, catching and holding him until police arrived. The other man escaped.
The victim - who suffered scrapes on his face, arm and leg - got his wallet and checkbook back at the scene, the release said.

IT STARTED IN PARIS IN 1787. HE was America's minister to France, principal author of the Declaration of Independence and a future President of the United States. She was a slave entrusted with the care of his young daughters. She was, in the words of a fellow slave, "very handsome with long straight hair." Despite the chasm dividing them, Thomas Jefferson, the widowed 44-year-old Renaissance man, and Sally Hemings, the spirited 14-year-old maid, fell deeply in love.
At least such is the premise of Jefferson in Paris, the new Ismail Merchant-James Ivory movie. But is this tale of true love true? Did Jefferson—the Father of Liberty but an avowed foe of miscegenation—have, as the movie also asserts, a long relationship with Hemings that produced several children? Most historians say there was no liaison. Others, including 1,400 people claiming to be direct descendants of the relationship, say there was. The truth will probably never be known. "I believe it is possible," says director Ivory. "But who can be sure?"
Robert Cooley III is among the believers. The Midlothian, Va., lawyer traces his ancestry to Thomas Woodson, a freed slave born around 1800 who was purportedly the lovers' oldest surviving son. (After Jefferson died in 1826, Hemings moved into Charlottesville, Va., where she died nine years later.) Cooley, 55, says the knowledge traditionally has been passed down orally in several branches of his family from generation to generation. "There's a consistent history among people who did not know one another," he says. "That establishes credibility."
Historians are more skeptical about the romance, which was first reported in 1802 in a newspaper article written by James Callender, a disgruntled former writer for Jefferson. Though denied by Jefferson, the story persisted through the decades and was given fresh currency in the 1974 psychohistory Thomas Jefferson: An Intimate History, by Fawn Brodie. "Nobody in the historical community accepts it," says Willard Sterne Randall, author of the 1993 biography Thomas Jefferson: A Life. He believes that Hemings's lover was really Peter Carr, Jefferson's nephew—and notes that in more than 2,000 letters to his close friend and neighbor James Madison, Jefferson never alluded to Hemings. "He was a real Type A," says Randall. "If something was bothering him, he would spill his guts."
