On Tap Today: Mmmm...paczki
Putting the fat in Fat Tuesday, paczki (pronounced POONCH-key) are so baaaad/so gooood Polish doughnuts, stuffed with glorious, gooey filling (such as prune, raspberry or bavarian cream), fried up for Fat Tuesday. (Lent's tomorrow; might as well indulge just a little bit.)
You'll be able to find paczki in grocery stores and bakeries about town, but the unofficial headquarters for paczki are National Bakery & Deli locations in Milwaukee (3200 S. 16th St.), Brookfield (13820 W. Greenfield Ave.) and Greendale (5637 Broad St.). The bakeries open up at 6:30 a.m., and over 30,000 paczki will be sold. But its best to get there early to be safe; accordion players, and fantasies about that first bite, will help you pass the time. »Read Full Blog Post(1)

Welfare reform: Maine's example alarms Vt. advocates
MONTPELIER The state of Maine last year imposed the same 60-month cap on welfare benefits that Gov. Peter Shumlin wants to institute in Vermont. But advocates say a new study tracking Maine families impacted by the time limits confirms their worst fears about what the policy change would do to poor Vermonters.
Shumlins attempts at welfare reform this year include new lifetime limits on eligibility for a program called Temporary Assistance for Needy Families or TANF. Also known as Reach Up, the program aims to cover about half the basic needs food, clothing, shelter for families and individuals living in poverty.
Chris Curtis, staff attorney at Vermont Legal Aid, is among the low-income advocates urging lawmakers to reject the Democratic governors proposal. He said a new study out of the University of Maine shows just how devastating the cuts would be.
The report just proves that time limits dont work, and that the jobs dont magically appear for folks, Curtis said. Vermont cant afford destabilizing families by taking away assistance that keeps them in housing and gives them opportunities for jobs.
The study, performed by a professor of social work, tracks only 54 of the roughly 1,500 families that were booted off TANF in Maine.
But Christine Hastedt, public policy director at Maine Equal Justice Partners, which paid for the study, said the results are stark.
The median monthly income of families that lost assistance was $260, or $3,120 per year less than 20 percent of the federal poverty level.
Nearly 70 percent had visited a food bank, more than one-third had their phone, gas or electricity shut off, and another 17 percent reported running out of heating fuel. Nearly 15 percent of families surveyed were either evicted or lost their homes, and more than 9 percent ended up in homeless shelters.
The findings of the report are very consistent with the experience of the people who have called us, and that is that many of them are suffering very severe material hardship, Hastedt said by phone last week.
If the Shumlin proposal is approved, according to numbers compiled by VTDigger.org., 1,188 families in Vermont will lose their benefits on Oct. 1. Of the 3,772 people affected, according to VTDigger, nearly 2,400 are children.
David Yacovone, commissioner of the Vermont Department for Children and Families, said the experiment in Maine doesnt offer a useful comparison.
Theres no standardization around the county, and in many states, including Maine, they say, youve reached the time limit and goodbye, he said. Thats not what Vermont is doing.
For one thing, Yacovone said, Shumlin is pairing the time limits with the addition of $17 million in childcare subsidies. For low-income parents, he said, that will help solve a child-care dilemma that is among the chief obstacles to gainful employment for many of the families that will hit the five-year benefit limit.
Additionally, Yacovone said, the Agency of Human Services will work with each timed-out family to connect them with the range of other services available to them, from food stamps to workforce training.
Were not just saying, sayonara, good luck, youre on your own. And thats why were far more comfortable with the proposal than people that are cherry-picking research, Yacovone said.
Maine didnt do it right, he added. If you are in our program and its time to leave, were going to give you significant child-care benefits, and you can come back to us for case management.
Rep. Ann Pugh, a South Burlington Democrat and chairwoman of the House Committee on Human Services, said the child-care benefits on which Shumlin has relied to defend his proposal are fantasy.
Shumlin wants to fund the new subsidies by reducing an earned-income tax credit or EITC that provides a combination of tax credits and cash benefits to the 44,000 lowest-wage workers in Vermont.
A plan to pay for child-care subsidies by using what is, in effect, a tax increase on low-income working Vermonters is not a place Im willing to go to, Pugh said.
Shumlin and Yacovone said money spent on the $25 million EITC program would yield far greater dividends if invested in child care.
But Pugh isnt alone in her opposition. House Speaker Shap Smith all but declared the reduction in the EITC dead Friday, saying, I would not anticipate it is going to be a major part of any bill that will come out of the House.
Without an alternative revenue source at the ready, opposition to Shumlins funding mechanism has cast into doubt prospects for the boosted child-care subsidies.
Pugh said the lack of affordable child care is one of only several hurdles facing the comparatively small number of families that reach the five-year limit. The median time spent on the program is 18 months, and Pugh said that statistic undercuts the notion that the system somehow breeds complacency among it beneficiaries.
The people who are in this program for more than five years are a very small minority, and there are some very legitimate reasons they find themselves in the circumstances they do, she said.
In the Maine study, more than 40 percent of the respondents had less than a high school education; 39 percent reported having a disability, and more than a quarter had a child or other family member with an impairment that interfered with their ability to get and keep a job.
Weve taken testimony from the Department of Labor and others, and while there may be jobs out there, the people who are on Reach Up assistance dont have the skills necessarily to get them, Pugh said.
All told, employment rates among the population that saw its benefits eliminated in Maine increased by only 7 percent, according to the study. Curtis said hes convinced Vermont will experience similar results, Yacovones reassurances notwithstanding.
The biggest barrier to employment in Vermont isnt child care, its transportation, Curtis said.
The Maine study found that more than a quarter of households had lost transportation for more than a month after being terminated from TANF.
Desperately poor people who live in rural areas dont have the means to get to a job, or to a child-care facility for that matter, Curtis said.
The Shumlin plan would mean about $7 million in savings, money Yacovone said would be reinvested in more effective poverty-fighting initiatives. Hastedt, however, said that in Maine, at least, the savings have been illusory.
Demand for temporary housing benefits quickly outstripped supply at the state level, according to Hastedt, resulting in new pressures on municipalities.
Portland, Bangor, Lewiston and other Maine cities had to increase their emergency housing budgets in the wake of the TANF reforms, in some cases by as much as 100 percent, according to a report in the Portland Press Herald.
Shumlin has pitched his plan as a compassionate solution to a cruel system that discourages poor Vermonters from improving their lot.
If I can help significantly improve the quality of life for kids by doing far more to help parents get work, Im all for it, Yacovone said. We want to break the cycle, and we think that by dramatically increasing this childcare benefit, and by really working with people to help get them jobs, it will be a pathway out of poverty for children.
Pugh, who emphasized that shes speaking for herself and not on behalf of her committee, said its hard to see how Shumlins plan will help the 2,400 children who will be affected by the elimination of their parents benefits.
People who are really poor dont really have a voice in this building (the Statehouse), Pugh said. Are there things that need to be changed? Im sure there are. But to overhaul a major public assistance program in four weeks does not make good sense.

Cards reach .500!
Wow, that was an exciting game tonight! I turned it on after watching American Idol (see my other blog for my weekly Idol recaps). It's great to see a quality start from Randy Kiesler. Of course we will miss Carp while he's on the DL (thankfully it looks like he won't need surgery just rest for arthritis and an impingement), but I do feel good about all the quality starts we're getting from the rest of the staff.
In the top of the 9th, with Eckstein on second and Duncan on first, Pujols hit a long fly ball that would have gone out if things were going better for El Hombre. Still, it was good enough to advance both runners. Then Spiezio came to the plate, still recovering from yesterday's bout with food poisoning, and smacked a single into right field to bring home the two runs and tie the game.
Thompson caused stress by getting into trouble in both of his innings, but he managed to recover and pitch his way out of jams. Hopefully, this appearance will do wonders for his confidence and he can get back to the world-beating form we saw in spring training.
In the 12th, with the bases loaded, Schumaker hit a shallow fly to left and Oquendo had Bennett tag up and head for home. A good throw would have got him, but Bay's throw was a bit off-center and the catcher made a late tag and then dropped the ball. Cards take the lead 3-2, and Izzy got the save. Of course he walked the lead-off man just to make things interesting.😉

I'm glad to see the Cards pulling out of the cellar. I'll be rooting for them (as long as they don't play my Braves!)
Tonight was a good time at the ballpark for me. I went to my second game in one week and saw a little hurting put on to the Nats. Not quite as satisfying as two of three from the Mets but division wins are so sweet. Stay in touch!

Hmm…I'm not sure how I feel about American Idol going ahead of Cardinal baseball.🙂 But, how about being .500? It definitely feels good.
Definitely baseball over Idol…priorities people!! Besides there's more REAL talent in the MLB. Keep the haikus coming by the way, it may inspire me to write my own.
Oh come on, there's room for both Idol and baseball, plus I think Sanjaya will be called in to pinch hit if the Cards experience any more injuries😉
I'm sort of sad I know who Sanjaya is. Especially because I've never watched a whole episode of American Idol in my life.
The main question is, though, what if were a playoff game vs. Idol? There, you HAVE to go with Cardinal baseball.

The title of the new, acclaimed Netflix series is "Orange Is the New Black," but for one of the show's stars, Matt McGorry, it's all about playing green as a rookie prison guard.
That's because McGorry's character, John Bennett, must learn how to distinguish the proper line between a guard and an attractive female inmate, Dayanara (Dascha Polanco), among other things.
"Bennett is new to the prison system like Piper -- who is at the center of the show -- and he has to deal with Dayanara, who he has flirtations with initially and things sort of become complicated," McGorry told me in recent interview. "He has to learn the ropes of the prison system and what's appropriate and what isn't appropriate -- and how to deal with a crush and a love that's pretty forbidden."
A 12-episode comedy-drama that debuted on Netflix earlier this month, "Orange Is the New Black" follows the sometimes hilarious and other times harrowing exploits of Piper Chapman (Taylor Schilling), who is sentenced to 15 months in federal prison after taking a plea deal in a drug smuggling that took place 10 years earlier. The show is based on the 2010 memoir "Orange is the New Black: My Year in a Women's Prison" by Piper Kerman.
In addition to dealing with his situation with Dayanara, Bennett must deal with the behavior of other corrections officers, like George "Pornstache" Mendez (Pablo Schreiber). Unlike Bennett, whose actions are relatively innocent, Pornstache is brutish guard who looks at inmates only in lust.
"I think the great thing about Pornstache and Bennett is that they are very different," McGorry, who's previously appeared in such series as "Elementary," "Royal Pains" and the daytime drama "One Life to Live."
"The comedy we play with the characters is almost sort-of automatic because there's a 180 degree difference between us. In some ways, it makes Bennett even more likeable, because he's in such sharp contrast with Pornstache," McGorry added. "The interesting thing is, there's a part of him who feels bad for Pornstache, too, because he recognizes he's a pretty unhappy individual. That's the way I've chosen to ground the character, looking at the complexity between the two characters."
And the fact that they are prison guards shouldn't make them any less relatable to the audience, McGorry added.
"Working alongside of someone you don't like is pretty universal," McGorry said, laughing.
McGorry said the interesting part about working on "Orange Is the New Black" is that the women's prison system isn't portrayed too often in film or television, creating a unique setting for audiences to explore -- and the people who work on it.
"The interesting thing about working in a 'minimum security prison' as portrayed on the show is that violence isn't the main threat, generally," McGorry observed. "Ultimately, a lot of the drama and the threat that goes on is housed in Piper's psychology. She's wondering how to deal with a new setting and how to survive. She wonders if it's better to engage the other inmates or not, and she's also trying to manage her life on the outside. The stakes are incredibly high because it's her life, and she's not experienced anything like it."
"Orange Is the New Black" also stars Jason Biggs as Piper's loving fiancé and Laura Prepon as Piper's former lover who played a huge part in her downfall. Kate Mulgrew also stars as an inmate who runs the prison kitchen and rules over the other inmates with an iron fist.
McGorry said without a doubt that the cast member who holds everyone together is Schilling, a fellow rising star who is clearly more concerned about the whole of the cast rather than just her character.
"Taylor, in addition to being a phenomenal actress, is so giving and genuine, and tries to make a connection with every single person in the cast," McGorry said. "She creates a feeling that makes all of us want to do something so special."
And it appears that all of that good will has paid off. Even though the show is only about two weeks out of the gate, Netflix has already committed to a second season.

Reading the John Updike stories: 'My Uncle's Death'
I'm reading and commenting on a story from The Library of America's 'John Updike: The Collected Stories' each Wednesday until I finish the collection or give up.
John Updike submitted "My Uncle's Death," as much a sketch as a story, to The New Yorker in 1962. After that magazine turned it down, he published it in The Saturday Evening Post in 1963. While this story doesn't have the heft of "The Blessed Man of Boston, My Grandmother's Thimble, and Fanning Island," to mention one of his other stories about a death in the family, it's worth a read to see Updike work with such primal material. »Read Full Blog Post

Newell, Diggins pace US at Tour de SkiStaff and Wire Report | December 29,2013OBERHOF, Germany Alex Harvey shrugged off a broken ski and difficult conditions to win the 4.5-kilometer freestyle prologue for the Tour de Ski on Saturday, beating Canadian teammate Devon Kershaw by 4.1 seconds.
In the womens prologue, overall cross-country World Cup leader Marit Bjoergen led a 1-2 Norwegian finish in a 3-kilometer race. Denise Herrmann of Germany was fourth, ahead of Jessica Diggins of Stratton. Andy Newell of Shaftsbury was the top finisher for the U.S. men in 20th place.
Im excited for the upcoming races, Diggins said. The Tour is a fun, extremely hard, exciting series and I think the key is to put together as many solid performances as you can. No day needs to be an A-plus, but if you can have a lot of A-minus days in a row without building too much fatigue, the Tour goes pretty well.
Sophie Caldwell of Perufinished ninth in her first Tour de Ski race, while teammate Holly Brooks finished 21st and Liz Stephen of East Montpelier placed 34th.Caldwell, Newell and Diggins all train with the Stratton Mountain School T2 Team, which is coached by Gus Kaeding of Worcester.
This is my first time starting the Tour de Ski and its pretty rare that we get to race prologues, so I wasnt sure what to expect, Caldwell said. The snow was really wet and dirty but they salted some parts of the course beforehand, so those parts hardened up a little. I think I executed my plan well because I felt great my first lap.And even though I started to get tired my second lap, I held it together enough to have a strong finish.
The eighth running of the grueling nine-day, seven-stage event began despite rain and very little snow. Workers hauled in snow to build the narrow strip used as the track for Saturdays races.The weather forced organizers to shorten the course and change the format of the competition, a decision that led to the withdrawal of four-time womens Tour winner Justyna Kowalczyk of Poland. The Olympic champion said it was unfair to have five freestyle and only two classical races in the seven-stage event.
The changed program doesnt fit into my Olympic preparations, said Kowalczyk, a classical style specialist.
Harveys right ski broke early in the race and he was given a replacement from his team. With fog also coming down on the course, Harvey covered the distance in 9 minutes, 3.4 seconds to edge Kershaw. Chris Jespersen of Norway was third, 10.2 seconds behind.
Bjoergen covered the distance in 6 minutes, 34.4 seconds to leave teammate Astrid Uhrenholdt Jacobsen 1.9 seconds behind. Sylwia Jaskowiec of Poland was 7 seconds behind in third.
Athletes will ski six more stages in the next eight days across courses in Germany, Switzerland and Italy.Diggins, Stephen and Noah Hoffman are the only U.S. skiers who plan to complete the whole Tour, which continues today with mens and womens sprints.

Kia is getting into the large sedan market with its all-new K900 sedan.
The Korean automaker showed off the new car Wednesday at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show.
Intended to compete with large luxury sedans from Europe and the United States, the Kia is equipped with nice touches like leather seats, a 17-speaker audio system and power everything.
Models equipped with the more powerful V8 add features like lane departure warnings, adaptive cruise control and a panoramic sunroof. Those are all options on the V6 model.
Speaking of engines, the V8 cranks out a potent 420 horsepower while the V6 is no slouch with 311 horsepower. All that power goes to the K900's rear wheels.
"Next year will mark Kia Motors' 20th anniversary in the U.S. market, and the all-new K900 is a symbol of how far the brand has come and the next bold example of the challenger spirit that has benefited Kia over nearly two decades of growth and maturation," said Michael Sprague, the executive vice president of marketing and communications for Kia Motors America.
The new car is expected to go on sale in the first quarter of 2014. Prices have not yet been released.

Kanpai's Japanese fusion small plates worth a cheer
I think of a Japanese izakaya as a casual place, a tavern with some snacky food to supplement drinks. That's not quite how I'd describe the stylish Kanpai, which means "cheers" in Japanese.
The Third Ward restaurant, which opened in the former Nanakusa space, made some changes to the room's décor, but it's still polished and modern. And so are the fusion small plates, meant to be shared. That's the izakaya side of it. But Kanpai also has a full sushi menu, with a dizzying number of rolls (50, by my quick count). »Read Full Article(1)

"The Return of the Living Dead" was made in 1985, and it's populated with just about every stereotype of the era. In fact, you'll find yourself actually rooting for the zombies frequently.
This movie does make one singular contribution to zombie-flick lore: It's the first film in the genre in which the zombies are actually heard giving voice to their craving for "Brainsssss!" In fact, it's the first one we're aware of where that particular delicacy was specified.
The cause of zombification here was unique, also, coming from a release of mysterious gas of government origin. Government-as-secret-villain was certainly nothing new, but government as zombie creator? That, my friends, was the stuff that tinfoil-hat dreams are made of.
"The Return of the Living Dead" also featured the first speedy zombies, a concept that reached its apex in our final selection ...
No. 1: "28 Days Later" (2002)
The zombie movie genre was just sort of shuffling along when "28 Days Later" burst upon the scene. A group of well-meaning animal activists set loose the wrong chimp in a lab, unleashing the Rage virus upon Great Britain.
These zombies sprint like race horses and feed like Adam Richman at a wing buffet. Their bite, as per traditional zombie lore, will transform the bitten into a zombie. There is no slow conversion here, though. A bad bite will have the victim slavering for a big helping of human in moments.
And if the zombies aren't bad enough, we've got humans in the form of a rogue military outfit who make the undead look like choirboys when it comes to treatment of their fellow beings.
This movie is really the total package, with unlikely heroes, amazing escapes, tremendous acts of courage and scenes so gore-soaked you'll be wiping your home theater screen for days.

The School of Education offers Bachelor of Science degrees in Elementary Education (K-6) or Early/Middle Education. The program prepares graduates to teach at the Elementary (K-6) grade level and/or the Middle School (5-9) grade level in one of four required areas of specialization: English/Language Arts, Mathematics, General Science, and Social Studies.
As a foundation for high quality professional work, prospective teachers are provided with a well-rounded general education in the humanities, and in the social and natural sciences. The professional education courses provided by the Department of Professional Education are directed toward the mastery of skills and dispositions that are needed by teachers in the public schools.
The administrative unit charged with primary responsibility for acting on and being accountable for all matters relating to the Teacher Education program is the Educational Personnel Preparation Advisory Committee (EPPAC). The Committee provides the means for faculty from the Department of Professional Education and from the academic divisions and departments directly involved in teacher preparation to participate, along with Bluefield State College students and representatives from the public schools, in the formulation and implementation of Teacher Education policies and practices.

Since the early 1960s, the Conference on Bank Structure and Competition has served as a forum for academics, regulators and industry participants to debate current issues affecting the financial services industry. Each year the purpose of the conference is to continue that tradition. This retrospective on the history and evolution of the conference reviews the past four decades of conferences.
The primary motivating factor for the conference was the passage of the 1960 Bank Merger Act and the U.S. versus Philadelphia National Bank Supreme Court decision. Suddenly, bank regulatory agencies were required to consider competitive factors in addition to banking factors when evaluating bank merger applications. Each of the Federal Reserve Banks was encouraged to survey the existing literature on bank structure and develop its own research agendas on these issues.

Former executive ordered to pay $300,000 for role in fraud
A former executive with Specialty Filaments Inc. in Middlebury was sentenced to a three-year term of federal probation Monday and ordered to pay $300,000 in restitution for his role in a $1 million bank fraud.
Jeff Audette, the vice president of the defunct company, faced up to five years in jail for conspiracy to commit bank fraud.
But after Audette agreed to assist federal prosecutors and pleaded guilty to the charge in February, Assistant U.S. Attorney Gregory Waples wrote in a sentencing memorandum that probation and restitution payments were appropriate punishment for Audette.
During the course of this investigation and prosecution, Audette has provided genuine and substantial assistance, Waples wrote. Without Audettes cooperation it would have been impossible for the government to charge, much less convict Donald James Marler III, the defunct companys former president and chief executive officer.
Specialty Filaments, which manufactured nylon and polyester filaments used as components in industrial and commercial brushes, declared bankruptcy and closed its doors in 2007. The company operated facilities in Middlebury and Burlington.
Federal prosecutors charged Audette, Marler and the companys former director of finance Paul Mammorella, with orchestrating the fraud, which involved the use of falsified reports delivered to Wells Fargo.
In those reports, Waples said Audette and the other executives inflated the cash-strapped companys accounts receivable and inventory so that the bank would loan the company more money.
Those actions cost Wells Fargo and the Vermont Economic Development Authority, which guaranteed a portion of the loan, more than $1 million when Specialty Filaments went bankrupt.
But despite those losses, Waples wrote that all three executives acted out of good intentions.
This was not a crime of greed or self-enrichment. The reason why all these essentially good defendants did what they did was to keep SFI afloat until a buyer who could invigorate the company was found. Had that goal been realized, Wells Fargo would have been made whole, Waples wrote.
Mammorella was sentenced last week to a three-year term of probation that included four months of home detention. He was also ordered to pay $300,000 in restitution and he was ordered to perform 100 hours of community service work.
Marler, who pleaded guilty to conspiring to commit bank fraud in August, is due to be sentenced on Dec. 17.

A breast cancer organization is raising the question, if the purpose of a product coated in pink is to save lives and stop breast cancer, then why do so many products being sold under a pink label cause the very thing they are fighting against?
This process is called "pinkwashing," a term coined by Breast Cancer Action (BCA), a group devoted to the stopping of "pink" abuse.
BCA defines "pinkwashing" as sponsoring companies positioning themselves as leaders in the effort to eradicate breast cancer while engaging in practices that may contribute to rising rates of the disease.
Many "pinkwashed" products use the pink ribbon.
According to BCA, the idea of the pink ribbon began with Charlotte Haley in the early 1990s. Breast cancer had a major effect on Haley's life when her grandmother, sister and daughter were all diagnosed with the disease.
Haley was outraged by the lack of funding cancer research and prevention received and was determined to make changes. She created cards with a peach loop of ribbon attached. According to BCA, the back of the card read, "The National Cancer Institute annual budget is $1.8 billion, only 5 percent goes for cancer prevention. Help us wake up our legislators and America by wearing this ribbon."
When the editor of Self magazine, Alexandra Penney, caught wind of this movement, she called Haley and wanted to put the ribbons in her magazine, according to BCA.
The organization said Haley turned down Self in favor of a grass roots movement and in fear of becoming too commercial.
Penney was stuck on the idea of the ribbon and after consulting with her lawyers she, along with Estée Lauder's senior corporate vice president Evelyn Lauder, launched the pink ribbon campaign for the month of October.
Estée Lauder was a leader in the pink movement, distributing 1.5 million ribbons from their make-up counters in the fall of 1992, according to BCA. According to the Estée Lauder website, the company has donated millions of dollars to breast cancer research, and in 2009 the company donated $500,000 through the sale of their pink items.
Despite its contributions, according to pinkribbon.org, Estée Lauder has refused to sign the Compact for Safe Cosmetics, which ensures their cosmetic products contain no chemical proven or strongly suspected of contributing to breast cancer. Pinkribbon.org said that Estée Lauder cosmetics still contain parabens, a class of chemical that has been linked to breast cancer.
Organizations like BCA have made it their mission to fight these instances of "pinkwashing."
"We're a little organization with a lot of power," said Breast Cancer Action?s executive director Barbara Brenner.
In 2008, Think Before You Pink, a campaign launched by BCA, launched the ?Yoplait Put a Lid on It? crusade against General Mills and Yoplait for using ingredients that contain the growth hormone rBGH.
General Mills and Yoplait have donated $18 million over nine years to breast cancer foundations, according to Yoplait. However, according to recent studies, rBGH -- which is given to cows that are used to make dairy products -- may cause breast, colon and prostate cancer.
Yoplait was "flooded with e-mails" from members of BCA and other likeminded people, said Brenner. And by 2009, General Mills was rBGH free, followed two weeks later by Dannon.
When both Yoplait and Dannon dropped the use of rBGH, two-thirds of America's dairy products became rBGH-free, Brenner said.
BCA's most recent cause is KFC and Susan G. Komen for the Cure's "Buckets for the Cure." Brenner called the campaign "infuriating at every level."
Brenner said that Susan G. Komen makes a point of supporting low-income women, yet KFC exploits these same families by strategically placing their restaurants in low-income areas and contributing to their poor health.
Brenner believes that steps can be taken to reduce the causes of breast cancer and to cure the disease, however, she feels that because so much focus is on awareness, little is changing.
For Brenner, it comes down to this, "If shopping could cure cancer, cancer would have been cured long ago."

Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay was arrested on DUI charges in Carmel after being pulled over Sunday night.
The arrest happened around 11:40 p.m. at 131st Street and Horseferry Road, according to the Hamilton County Jail officials.
He faces four felony counts of possession of a controlled substance and a preliminary misdemeanor charge of driving while intoxicated, according to ESPN.
Irsay, 54, was taken to the Hamilton County Jail with bond set at $22,500. He was released Monday afternoon, and his initial court appearance is March 26.
Irsay has a documented history of problems with prescription drugs.
In 2002, he admitted he had an addiction to painkillers that started in 1995 after rumors of a federal investigation swirled. He said several operations resulted in chronic pain and that he had sought treatment for his problems.
Irsay made the admission as the Colts were negotiating with then-Mayor Bart Peterson to keep the team in Indianapolis.
Local doctor Greg Chernoff was later investigated for prescribing excessive amounts of painkillers. He was accused of writing more than a hundred prescriptions for Irsay and was later sanctioned for writing unnecessary prescriptions. Irsay had gotten the pills from Nora Apothecary on the north side.
In 2002, after admitting his problems with painkillers, Irsay released the following statement:
"After several years of orthopedic operations and procedures, accompanied by long bouts of chronic pain, I became dependent on prescription pain medications. This summer I sought professional help at a nationally recognized facility located outside Indiana."

Gifford to Make NASCAR Nationwide Series Debut with Richard Childress Racing
July 17, 2013
WELCOME, N.C. (July 17, 2013) - Richard Childress Racing (RCR) announced today that NASCAR Drive for Diversity driver (#NASCARD4D) and NASCAR Next member Ryan Gifford will make his NASCAR Nationwide Series debut at Iowa Speedway in the No. 33 Menards/Rheem Chevrolet.
With backing from the third-largest home improvement store in the United States, the 23-year-old driver is set to compete in his first-career national series event at the Newton, Iowa, track on Aug. 3. Gifford is in his fourth full season of competition in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East, where he notched his first win at Richmond International Raceway earlier this year. Gifford also drives a late model on the dirt circuit for Team Dillon Racing (TDR).
"I'm thrilled that Menards and RCR are giving me the chance to race in my first Nationwide Series event," said Gifford. "Menards has done so much for young racers over the years and I'm proud to be able to represent them and their employees at Iowa Speedway. I can't thank them enough for believing in me and giving me an opportunity to showcase my racing skills."
Gifford became the first African-American in NASCAR K&N Pro Series East history to earn a pole position at the inaugural race at Martinsville Speedway in 2010. Last month at Iowa Speedway, the current Rev Racing driver was announced as a member of the 2013 NASCAR Next class, an industry initiative to help spotlight NASCAR's rising stars.
The Winchester, Tenn., native started racing go-karts at age eight and competed in the World Karting Association from 2000-2004 before moving to dirt late models in 2005. It didn't take long for Gifford to find success on dirt, earning three poles and four top-five finishes in his first season. Gifford made his debut for RCR in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East in 2009 competing in four events. Since then, he has earned one win, one pole award, 15 top-five and 19 top-10 finishes in just 48 starts.
"I have watched how hard Ryan has worked at the Team Dillon Racing shop and what he's been doing on the track the past few years," said Richard Childress, CEO and president of Richard Childress Racing. "He had some good finishes racing in the K&N Series races for RCR a few years ago. I watched him race and win dirt track races with TDR and I've always been impressed with a driver's ability to race on dirt.
"This is a great opportunity for him to get in one of our Nationwide cars and be very competitive at Iowa. None of this would be possible if it wasn't for Menards. We appreciate their support and involvement in having Ryan race in the No. 33 Chevrolet that weekend."

Vermont will sell off state buildingsApril 28,2013
ST. ALBANS — The state of Vermont is planning to sell a state office building in St. Albans to a pharmaceutical company as part of a broader plan to help revitalize the community's downtown.
The 200 state workers in the city would be moved into leased space that would become part of the downtown redevelopment project.
Lawmakers passed the bill authorizing the sale in hopes it will help trigger a two-fold bonus for St. Albans: allowing valuable employer Mylan Technologies to expand and helping the city to redevelop the downtown.
"For the city, it's critical and for the region, it's critical," said Dominic Cloud, the St. Albans city manager. "This is the third-largest generic pharmaceuticals company in the world seeking to increase investment in a designated growth center. These are great jobs."
By expanding in St. Albans, Mylan would create 100 new manufacturing jobs, said a study of the project commissioned for the city.
Some object to the plan because it would cost the state an estimated $39,000 more a year in building costs over 20 years.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of... Full StoryVermont fish hatchery changes focus, looks inland

A Japanese man died after 25 hospitals refused to admit him to their emergency rooms 36 times over a two-hour span of time.
The hospitals all claimed they were too short on beds or doctors to treat the 75-year-old, according to Japantoday.com.
The man, who lived alone, called an ambulance after suffering breathing problems. Paramedics rushed to his house but were told by all 25 hospitals in the area that they could not accept the man. Some institutions were contacted more than once.
The man was pronounced dead shortly after arriving at the first hospital that would accept him, which is a 20-minute drive away. The cause of death has not been made public.
One of the paramedics told Jiji Press they had never experienced "a patient being rejected so many times."
