A jilted man is believed to have killed his former girlfriend, her teenage son and himself in an arson attack - just hours after telling a friend he was going to 'burn them'.
David Potts, 39, broke into the home of Tracy Jones, and her three children, on Barlow Road in Broadheath, Altrincham, doused petrol throughout the ground floor and set it alight in September 2011.
The blaze killed Tracy, 40, her son Shaun van Straaten, 15, and Potts. Tracy's other children Cailin, then 18, and Zach, then four, were also badly hurt, the inquest into their deaths at Stockport Coroner's Court was told.
The hearing was told that Potts and Tracy's year-long relationship had broken down weeks before their deaths.
Tracy told Potts' pal Robert Stevenson that she was scared of her former boyfriend, who had refused to let her out of the house during a series of drink and drug-fuelled rages.
Potts was said to have also asked friends for a grenade and said he wanted to kill Tracy and her children.
The inquest heard how social services became involved with the family in the run-up to the tragedy because they believed Potts was a danger to children due to his behaviour.
They had blocked him going on holiday with the family the summer before the fire as they feared for the youngsters, it was said.
Friends of Potts, and his mum Christine, told the court he could drink up to six litres of cider and smoke up to £10-worth of cannabis a day, as well as consume large spoons of amphetamine after his relationship ended.
Between the intervention of social services, Potts had a heart attack and was diagnosed with a personality disorder.
Mr Stevenson told the court that he 'didn't click' when Potts said on the night of the attack that he was 'going to kill her' and 'burn them' - and so did nothing.
Potts later waited for his mum Christine to go bed at her home in Wythenshawe, and took a taxi to Tracy's house where he is thought to have started the fire at around 4.30am.
The inquest continues.

dude, not striaght, through a canyon, it was pure driving skill, but he was flying and I was pushing the car as best it could, and I finally beat it, ofcourse with the right driver hew ould have killed me. but this area was pure skill and know-how, I fucked him up.
and my oil temp gauge wasnt over, I think the engine was just hot, dude, its not like I am foreign to the racing bizz or keeping my engine high. the car was just plain hot, it was like "TTSSSSSSSSSSSS', it wasnt steaming a lot, or makin a steaming noise, just some steam type stuff was rising, nothing on fire or anything, it was just letting off some steam.
and again, the race WASNT going straight, it was in a canyon, about 20 mile long deal.

Logically, if the car breathes through the intake, and you get a freer-flowing intake, then the car's going to at least inhale better. An oil cooler wouldn't hurt, either, but I think they're relatively expensive.

Flint Town Throwdown — Round 60
Four area bands battle it out for a week of airplay in the Flint Town Throwdown. This week's bands are 6 Prong Paw, BulletProof, Bristol Street and After the Minor — listen to the tracks and vote for your favorite now. Don't forget to tune in Monday nights at 10p to hear all this week's bands as well as the winner from the previous week.
If you have a band and want to be in the Throwdown, link to the submission form at the bottom of the page or simply email your radio-edited (Seriously, that means NO EFFING F-Bombs!) track to firstname.lastname@example.com with the subject line "Flint Town Throwdown."
6 Prong Paw
Original Hard Rock "Think Metal" band from Michigan area. Refining the limits of genre classification while staying true to their roots.
"BulletProof" was formed on January 16, 2012 as a hard rock band from the metro-Detroit area. Guitarist Ryan Ryngaert and drummer Joe Rubino played in other bands together before starting BulletProof. After a few months in progress, Vince Rubino joined the band as the bassist. Their search for a frontman proved successful by landing Josh Coates' vocal style.
Bristol Street
Bristol Street is a collection of different sounds, styles, riffs and melodies. It's a great mix of rock, funk, reggae, blues and hip hop that all come together to create their smooth signature sound.
After the Minor
After The Minor means that life is too short to sweat the minor problems in it. We have been through a lot as a band and we are living AFTER THE MINOR!

I mean, I love this place," said Maguire Gallagher-Waller, one of the students visiting the Thunder Road Farm in Corinna.The Boys & Girls Club of Gardiner took advantage of the students' day off from school Friday and planned a field trip."The hay ride, we went on it, and there was like two really big mud puddles and there were really deep and they kept splashing us. That was fun," said student, Isabel Bickford.The club's education director, Holly Jordan, wanted to give the kids a chance to do something they might not otherwise get to.She said, "Here, they're getting to experience a lot of things that they've never done before like a hay ride, the cow train. Going out in the mud is of course exciting for any kid."If you would like more information on Thunder Road Farm, you can visit their website at thunderroadfarm.comSaturday, the farm is holding a Breast Cancer Awareness event in conjunction with Eastern Maine Medical Center.

WHS Adoptable Animals
The Wisconsin Humane Society (WHS) is a private, nonprofit organization whose mission is to build a community where people value animals and treat them with respect and kindness. For more than 128 years, WHS has been saving the lives of animals in need. We offer adoption services that place 9,000 animals in new homes annually, veterinary services that save thousands of lives, educational programs that instill respect for animals, behavior services to assist guardians and a myriad of other initiatives that help end suffering for animals. We depend entirely on private donations to fund our programs and rely on volunteers in nearly every department. If you are interested in adopting, volunteering, enrolling in a class, taking a tour or making a donation, check out our comprehensive web site at wihumane.org. The adoptable animals' web pages are updated every 30 minutes!
Help Precious Heal
Precious may dream of a new home for 2010, but first, her eye has to heal from an agonizing injury. How it happened, we may never know, but fortunately she was surrendered to the Wisconsin Humane Society.
When Precious arrived, her eye looked horrible. It was swollen and cloudy, and the veterinary staff couldn't even see her iris. Sensitive to the terrible pain, she meowed loudly when our veterinarians gently examined her. They suspected that her injury was caused by blunt force trauma of some kind, but luckily, she survived. Precious is now quickly healing in our Intensive Care Unit at WHS and loves her plaid cat bed and glitter ball toys. Appropriately named, Precious is a very affectionate, curious cat.
This sweet girl is just one of many patients in the Intensive Care Unit at WHS, where animals recover from fractures, illnesses, specialized surgeries and traumatic abuse. These innocent animals depend entirely on the support of the community for their medical and behavioral care, as well as the adoption services that match them up with loving families when they are fully recuperated.
Will you donate to help pay for Precious' care? You can even sponsor Precious in honor of a loved one this holiday season, and send a special card to share her story. WHS relies entirely on the community's support to care for animals like Precious and we deeply appreciate your support!

Hello, all.
I don't have an WRX (bug-eyed) yet, but I am planning on getting one real soon. The 02-04 has grown on me in the past few months. I was an previous own of an 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse RS. This is an big step for me from FWD auto to AWD manual, but I've driven manuals in the past so it's not really a problem, although launching AWD manual is an problem for me.
Anyways, I appreciate the support and hope to be an help or service to anyone, since I'm going to schoo for Automotive and Deisel Technology at Universal Technical Institute.
Have an great day guys, Later.

The £400 million injection follows £300 million required in 2011 and takes the total amount of shareholders' money supporting the business to £3.2 billion.
NAB acquired its British arm, which trades as Clydesdale Bank and Yorkshire Bank, in the early 1990s. But weak returns have put chief executive
The head of Clydesdale Bank, David Thorburn, said the boost affirmed the bank's focus on maintaining strong capital ratios. It will take the division's tier one capital level to 11.2 per cent, well ahead of the 10 per cent level that a recent UK government report recommended British banks should comply with.
NAB said the transaction was simply a transfer of capital from one part of the company to another and did not change the bank's overall capital ratios.
CLSA analyst Brian Johnson said while this was correct, it did leave the Australian operations with slightly less capital and highlighted the risk that, because of its UK business, NAB may need more capital than other major banks focused on Australia.
"Even though the NAB numbers don't change at the group level, the Australian bank has become more geared," he said.
While the transfer of more capital to the UK was a negative, Mr Johnson said it was likely to be the last one needed and there was no risk of NAB tapping investors.
"What's more important with NAB is what's happening with its Australian business and some good stuff is happening there. Every time you hear of NAB moving [its standard variable mortgage rate] closer to the other guys, every five basis points is worth a 2 per cent kick in earnings."
NAB lifted its mortgage rate closer to its peers last year, a move that will boost its 2012 profits.
Bell Potter analyst TS Lim agreed that further transfers of capital to the UK were unlikely. "This is all to do with prudential regulation. It has nothing to do with the operations."
The Independent Commission on Banking, set up by the UK to find ways to make the country's banking system safer, recommended last year that banks hold shareholder capital worth 10 per cent of their risk-weighted assets.
Banks in Australia are expected to hold tier one capital of about 8.5 per cent, depending on how new global banking rules are enforced.
Another reform suggested by the ICB was that retail banking be ring-fenced from riskier activities such as investment banking.
Mr Clyne received $2.3 million in NAB shares on January 9 after he met set performance targets, triggering the conversion of those rights into shares.

Our big announcement on the Trump-Russia scandal.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has a video of Rep. Paul Broun (R-Georgia) talking about the TSA. According to Rep. Broun's statement on C-SPAN's Washington Journal, he saw the TSA pat-down a grandmother and a young child and let a man in "Arabian dress" sail right through. From Rep. Broun (10 minute mark in video embedded below):
"And then right behind him [small child], was a guy in Arabian dress who just walks right through. Why are we patting down grandma and kids? We need to focus on those people who want to harm us. We have to identify those people, we do that through human intelligence, we do that through trying to get into the inner circle... and then focus on those individuals, not on the general public. Unfortunately, I think the Department of Homeland Security has focused more on the general public and has been afraid of political correctness: we've got to forget political correctness. We've got to start focusing on those people who want to harm us as a nation."
I'm not sure exactly what Arabian dress is (maybe baggy pants and a vest like Aladdin's?), but I actually agree with some of the things Rep. Broun is saying. I'm with Rep. Broun on the idea that the TSA needs to stop invasive searches and scans of the general public (which miss a lot of stuff anyway) and devote resources toward identifying actual, intended terrorists and their targets. However, Rep. Broun loses me when he implies that a dude in Arabian dress isn't part of the "general public". I can't tell if Rep. Broun wants the TSA to crack down only on men in ethnic dress, or on grandmas in Arabian dress too, but at any rate, stereotyping people and treating them differently based solely on their appearance isn't just "politically incorrect": it's discrimination.
In case Rep. Broun doesn't realize it, profiling has been happening for a while now, actually: many people of Middle Eastern and South Asian descent have been erroneously suspected of terrorism, either by the TSA, pilots, flight attendants, or even fellow passengers. However, these amateur profilers fail to differentiate between a possible terrorist and, say, an economics professor at California State University. If Rep. Broun needs more examples, I'm sure the ACLU would be happy to provide them.

Congenital Heart Adolescents: Program of Transition Evaluation Research (CHAPTER)
This study has been completed.
University of Alberta
Women and Children's Health Research Institute, Canada
Stollery Children's Hospital Foundation
Information provided by (Responsible Party):
Andrew Mackie, University of Alberta
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:
First received: January 27, 2011

- How to Read a Study Record
The objective of this study is to evaluate the potential role of a cardiology clinic-based educational intervention for 15 to 17 year olds with congenital heart disease (CHD) and their parents, and to determine whether this intervention results in improved self-management skills (e.g., renewing medication prescriptions), teens having greater knowledge of their heart condition, and more teen and parent satisfaction with services. The results of this study will form the basis for a website that in turn may serve as an additional means of providing transition interventions. The results of this study may also be applicable to youth with other special health care needs.
Congenital Heart Defects
Behavioral: Clinic-based Educational Intervention
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|Evaluation of Novel Transition Interventions for Youth With Congenital Heart Disease
Further study details as provided by Andrew Mackie, University of Alberta:
Primary Outcome Measures:
- Change in the Transition Readiness Assessment Questionnaire (TRAQ) score of the patient between baseline and medium-term follow-up (6 months). [ Time Frame: 6 months. ]
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Change in the Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire (PSQ-18) score of the patient between baseline and 1 month and 6 months follow-up [ Time Frame: 1 month and 6 months ]
- Change in the parent/guardian Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire (PSQ-18) score between baseline and 1 month and 6 months follow-up as it pertains to their satisfaction with their adolescent's care. [ Time Frame: 1 month and 6 months ]
- Change in patient knowledge of his/her CHD (MyHeart score), comparing baseline to 1 month and 6 months follow-up. [ Time Frame: 1 month and 6 months ]
|Study Start Date:
|January 2011
|Study Completion Date:
|December 2013
|Primary Completion Date:
|November 2013 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
|Experimental: Clinic-based Educational Intervention
Behavioral: Clinic-based Educational Intervention
This will involve a 60 minute interaction between the teen and an advanced practice nurse (APN) in the cardiology clinic. A MyHealth passport will be created covering the name of the teen's cardiac condition, previous cardiac interventions, and name and purpose of the teen's medications. Potential late cardiac complications and contact names and location of local adult CHD cardiologists will also be reviewed. Three scenarios regarding adolescent risk taking behaviors (written in the 3rd person) will be presented to the teen who will be asked what advice he/she would offer to the teen in each of those scenarios. The teen will be given a study email address and encouraged to contact the APN by email or text messaging with follow-up questions. If no contact is initiated after 1 week, the APN will email or text (based on preference) the youth, to discuss additional questions.
No Intervention: Usual Care
Youth seen in the Cardiology clinic see a nurse only to measure weight, height, and blood pressure. They rely on their cardiologist for information about their heart condition. The approach and amount of time taken by each cardiologist with a youth varies. Time-pressured clinic visits limit the opportunity to discuss many of the topics noted above.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|15 Years to 17 Years (Child)

HP: Debt's Cheap, Do A $10B Buyback Now, Says Bernstein
Sanford Bernstein's Toni Sacconaghi this morning writes that the time is nigh for Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) to speed up its share repurchase, buying as much as $10 billion in one fell swoop.
Sacconaghi, who has an Outperform rating on HP shares, and a $60 price target, writes that HP needs to pursue a similar financial approach to that of IBM (IBM), assuming 3% to 4% revenue growth, improvement in operating margins, and share buybacks, in order to deliver 10% EPS growth. (He currently assumes the company will, in fact, increase EPS between this year and next year by 10%, while the Street is assuming just 7% growth.)
HP has used buybacks extensively, purchasing $7 billion to $11 billion worth of shares in four out of the last five years, notes Sacconaghi, bringing down its share count by 4% per annum from fiscal 2005 to fiscal 2010.
In an accelerated share repurchase, or ASR, which is what Sacconaghi recommends, the company would buy the shares in one transaction from a bank, which would then acquire the shares on the open market, with the two settling the difference in price. The reduction in share count happens immediately, as a result.
The most pressing reason for the purchase would be to allay fears among investors that HP will do another large acquisition, following M&A deals last year such as the purchase of 3Par for $2.3 billion and its purchase of ArcSight for $1.5 billion.
The other reasons are that debt is cheap -- the company could issue $10 billion in debt to fund the deal at 3% interest, based on recent debt issuance by IBM at 1.25% for $1 billion worth of three-year notes. With $200 million in net cash on the books, among the lowest cash balance of any large tech company, nevertheless, HP could issue $10 billion and still have a debt-to-market cap ratio of 13%, which is reasonable compared to other techs, he thinks.
And an accelerated share purchase would make it easier for the company to meet its stated goal of $7 per share in earnings come fiscal 2014. At the current rate of growth, HP needs to somehow increase earnings by 12% annually, compounded, whereas with a sharp buyback, it would need only 8% to make that target.
HP shares this morning are up 19 cents, or half a point, at $36.

Veterans Plan Armistice Day Events in Over 50 U.S. Cities
Veterans for Peace chapters across the nation are meeting in major cities to celebrate the original Armistice Day as was done at the end of World War I, when the world came together in realization that war is so horrible we must end it now.
On June 1, 1954, Congress changed the name of Armistice Day to Veterans Day. This year, on November 11th, Veterans For Peace chapters and their allies all over the country intend to restore the tradition of Armistice Day.
And so it will be, with events planned in over 50 cities, many of them including the ringing of 11 bells at the 11th hour on November 11th. In some cities, Veterans For Peace is partnering with MoveToAmend.org to advance the cause of removing money from politics -- understanding such corruption to be a major driving force behind wars. In some cities, groups will be striving to revive awareness of the Kellogg-Briand Pact which grew out of the antiwar sentiments after the Great War and which bars our nation and over 80 others from "recourse to war for the solution of international controversies."
Events are planned in Bangor, Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, Albany, Santa Cruz, Houston, Tuscon, Gainesville, Tallahassee, Washington DC, Northern N.J., Southern Wisc., Minneapolis, Philadelphia, Miami, New York, Cape Cod, Columbia Mo., Santa Barbara, Southern N.H., Wyoming, Oregon, Nashville, Broome County, San Diego, Seattle, Southeast Ark., Evansville, Orange County Calif., Sheboygan, Red Wing, Tampa, Potsdam, Atlanta, Buffalo, Pueblo, Tacoma, St. Augustine, Bandon, Fairbanks, Memphis, North Carolina triangle, Lane County, Iowa City, East Bay, Mansanita, Berks County, Linn County, Wenatchee Valley, Berkeley, Harrisonburg Va., Charlottesville, Va., St. Louis, San Jose, Marin County, Walnut Creek, and San Francisco.
In Minneapolis, VFP and many allies will hold a ceremony at the First Shot Memorial on Minnesota's Capitol grounds at 11 a.m. on the 11th.
In St. Louis, churches will ring their bells at 11 a.m. on the 11th. Drummers will play at 11 a.m. in Keiner Plaza.
In Iowa City, bells will be rung at 11 a.m. on the 11th at the Clinton Street entrance to Old Capitol on the Pentacrest.
In Chicago, VFP, VVAW, and I/AVAW will hold a ceremony at 11 a.m. on the 11th at Wabash Avenue at Wacker Drive along the river.
In Boston, VFP will lead a parade, gathering at noon in Boston Commons, at the corner of Beacon and Charles Streets. The parade kicks off at 1 p.m. and leads to a rally and music at Faneuill Hall - Sam Adams Park from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m.
In St. Augustine, Fla., the city is expected to issue an official proclamation designating November 11th Veterans/Armistice Day and encouraging churches in the area to ring their church bells at 11:00 a.m. on November 11th inorder to reconsider the original intent of a public recognition of November 11th to honor peace and encourage their congregations to denounce war as a means of settling differences.
In Charlottesville, Va., VFP is co-sponsoring and co-organizing a display of Eyes Wide Open, the acclaimed "cost-of-war" display of hundreds of pairs of boots representing US service members from the area that were killed in ongoing occupations of the Near East. The project will be staffed for three days, in downtown Charlottesville, at the University of Virginia, and at Immaculate Conception church. In the spirit of Armistice Day, bells will be rung in conjunction on November 11th.
In Harrisonburg, Va., VFP plans a parade contingent for the Harrisonburg Veterans Day Parade. They will also be co-hosting and co-sponsoring the Eyes Wide Open project on Monday, November 12th, at Eastern Mennonite University.

The first limited release was brewed to commemorate Bayern's 25th Anniversary. Owner/President Jürgen Knöller wanted to brew something to exemplify what 25 years of experience and innovation from German Master Brewers can produce. He decided to create yet another new beer style that is loosely based on the old Bavarian Premium Pilsener, which has a little more body, a little higher alcohol content, a bit darker in color and more hops than the average Pilsener-style beer. Jürgen took his latest innovation a step further and created an Imperial Pilsener Lager or "IPL" (not to be confused with "IPA" - this beer is a bit more sophisticated). This limited edition was brewed using an old decoction technique (seldom used in the industry these days and even different than the method Bayern usually uses). Also, to achieve the hoppy 50 IBUs, three different hops additions were employed: a large amount of German Hallertauer Magnum as flavor hops, and two separate additions of Aurora and First Gold hops for aroma/finishing. With a 5.9% ABV, this filtered lager has been named "Kaiser IPL", because "Imperial" refers to emperors (Kaiser, the German word for emperor, is derived from the word Caesar). The label used for this 1000 case limited release was created by Monte Dolack, who has created artwork for our labels many times over the years, giving our German beer an essential "touch of Montana".

There is the story that a certain African tribesman, on being told that in the west, we go to work nearly every day, replied: "You work every day? Don't you die?" Primitive, tribal and pre-industrial nations tend to work for around three or four hours a day, with plenty of days off in between, whereas in the so-called "civilised" countries, we work all the hours and days that God gives.
So how are we supposed to cope with this long-hours culture without dying? Well, I can highly recommend the power of the nap. But not the "power nap", mind - the "power nap" is a disgraceful appropriation of the pleasures of sleep by the forces of efficiency and productivity. No, I am talking here purely about the "pleasure nap".
It's a custom that is, of course, well known in southern Europe as the siesta, and until recently all of China would drop down by the roadside after lunch for a doze. Now they are being industrialised and the pleasures of life are retreating.
A pleasure nap is one that is taken for its own sake, but which also has the happy result of making the long days easier to cope with. It is a way of creating a delicious oasis of dreamy indolence in the day.
"The siesta is a break in the straight path of waged employment," writes the French academic Thierry Paquot in his book The Art of the Siesta (published by Marion Boyars), "a sidetrack leading away from all activity that is distinct, obligatory, habitual and mechanical."
That sounds very nice, but just how do you take a nap while at work? I understand that in New York, an ingenious entrepreneur has come up with a way to sell sleep: he has created a nap centre in Manhattan, where office workers can retreat for a swift 20-minute kip during their lunch hour, in order to return, revitalised and renewed, to the office.
Paying for a nap, though, seems crazy to me, and I would recommend free methods. If the weather is fine, you can take advantage of the bench or the park or garden for a doze. If it is raining, why not take a cushion to the local church and nod off on a pew?
It is even possible to nap in the office. One friend used to sleep in a toilet cubicle, using the loo roll as a pillow, sitting across the loo and jamming his legs up against the opposite wall. Now that's dedication for you.

Drivers seat so far back...?
Before starting my jeep the driver seat retreats so far back that I can barely touch the brake and the start button at the same time.... is there any way to limit how far back the seat retracts before starting?
2014 wk2 summit diesel.....
Sent from my iPad using JeepGarage
Re: Drivers seat so far back...?
Check under your UConnect settings for your easy entry/exit function setting.
Your owner's manual will also explain how you can set up memory settings for several functions (including seat position) that are linked to each key fob and the "1-2" memory buttons located on the driver's door.
Re: Drivers seat so far back...?
Easy seat option is either on or off, as MDBones said, your owner's manual explains it, and how far it will move back.
You can't adjust the amount it retracts, only turn it off.
We initially had it turned on, but like you, the misses can't touch the pedals when getting in to depress the brake pedal and start to cause the seat to come forward, so it is turned off.
If you really want this type of feature, but you have this problem, then you could set the other memory setting to provide the same feature, and then when you unlock the car with your fob, it will move it back to your position for entry. If the other memory setting is used, and already closer than yours, I guess you're out of luck.
From your owner's manual:
Easy Entry/Exit Seat
This feature provides automatic driver seat positioning to enhance driver mobility when entering and exiting the vehicle.
The distance the driver seat moves depends on where you have the driver seat positioned when you cycle the vehicles ignition to the OFF position.
• When you cycle the vehicles ignition to the OFF position, the driver seat will move about 2.4 in (60 mm) rearward if the driver seat position is greater than or equal to 2.7 in (67.7 mm) forward of the rear stop. The seat will return to its previously set position when you cycle the vehicles ignition to the ACC or RUN position.
The Easy Entry/Easy Exit feature is disabled when the driver seat position is less than 0.9 in (22.7 mm) forward of the rear stop. At this position, there is no benefit to the driver by moving the seat for Easy Exit or Easy Entry.
Each stored memory setting will have an associated Easy Entry and Easy Exit position. NOTE: The Easy Entry/Exit feature is not enabled when the vehicle is delivered from the factory. The Easy Entry/Exit feature is enabled (or later disabled) through the programmable features in the Uconnect® system. Refer to "Uconnect® Settings/Customer Programmable Features" in "Underst
Re: Drivers seat so far back...?

Is your doctor a better cook than you?
A new perspective on healthy eating is changing the way some doctors practice medicine.
The brainchild of David Eisenberg, M.D., director of Osher Research Center at Harvard Medical School, and Mark Erickson, vice president of continuing education at the CIA, the conference aims to address the problem that many doctors receive little training in nutrition or in selecting and cooking healthy foods. The course emphasizes that doctors are more likely to advise their patients on healthy lifestyles if they practice what they preach. "Our goal is to inspire physicians to change their own behaviors and to serve as role models and champions in the healthy-eating, healthy-lifestyle campaign," says Eisenberg.
The conference seems to be working. "It changed the way I practice medicine," says Principe, who has lost 15 pounds since attending last April. With a renewed sense of well-being, he now writes fewer prescriptions and spends more time discussing lifestyle and dietary changes with patients.

...Tonight at 8 pm on New England Cable News. We'll be discussing coverage of 1. John Edwards' affair and 2. "Clark Rockefeller."
Right now, I plan to say that the press as a whole was too slow to cover Edwards' dalliance. This isn't a private matter: for example, if Edwards' infidelity had become a major story at the beginning of the Democratic primaries, Hillary Clinton could be the nominee now rather than Barack Obama.

Windows Phone's First Hit: Nokia Lumia 900 LTE Sells Out
Jason Mick

Amazon stock is backordered, but shipping
Nokia Oyj. (
) hasn't put out any sales numbers yet on the
Lumia 900 LTE
smartphone, but suffice it to say that
Windows Phone's "hero phone"
is the platform's biggest hit to date, despite some early launch hiccups.
While it likely won't hold a candle to Apple, Inc.'s (
4 million iPhone 4Ss sold on launch week
, Nokia appears to be struggling to keep pace with sizeable demand for the Lumia 900 LTE.
Like the iPhone 4, that demand comes thanks in part to a slick form factor, which helped both phones overcoming connectivity firmware bugs (in

(Click image to enlarge) [©: Jason Mick/DailyTech LLC]
AT&T reports that the phone is sold out. Secondary retailer Amazon.com, Inc. (
) lists the devices as backordered with a 5-9 day shipping time.
The news came as Nokia was wrapping up its speed delivery of a crucial update/fix over Microsoft Corp.'s (
) Zune store, which will fix the connectivity issues afflicting some users.
These numbers are promising signs -- indeed, the phrases "sold out" and "Windows Phone" have seldom been mentioned before in the same sentence. Looking ahead, two primary challenges face Microsoft and Nokia's increasingly promising alliance.
The Lumia 900 LTE is in high demand -- it's back-ordered at Amazon and sold out at AT&T. Such success is a first for Windows Phone and the first good news for Nokia in a long time.
The first big challenge will be to
expand the app selection
. While Windows Phone has over 70,000 apps available today, including thousands of games, it lacks some high profile titles -- for example

) boast 400,000 and 600,000 apps respectively.
Aside from apps, Windows Phone needs visibility. Microsoft has created an advanced user interface, a colorful, vibrant interface that not only looks good, but is pre-customized with much more useful notifications than stock Android or iOS builds. Microsoft's OS also features an innovative hierarchical organization of apps, which makes finding your lesser-used apps or related apps less of a chore. The problem is that most people are unaware that Windows Phone even exists; much less that Microsoft has thought so far outside the box and achieved such impressive results.
Microsoft must work to improve its app selection -- many high profile titles like "Cut the Rope" are missing from the platform, though there's thousands of great apps as well.

The lack of visibility and apps may fade in time. Recall, Android's first two years on the market (2008-2009) saw it
languish with only a small market share
, and limited visibility as veteran firms Apple, Research in Motion, Ltd. (
), and -- ironically -- Nokia, duked it out. Today, Microsoft is in a similar position to Google, and like Google it is staying patient and financially committed.
There's no guarantee that the
union between Microsoft and Nokia
will continue to bear fruit -- both companies have had their
fair share of struggles
in the consumer space. But ultimately a rising Microsoft is good news for consumers, as it will spur competitive pricing and more aggressive user interface progress.
So the early sales success of the Lumia 900 LTE may prove good news not only for Microsoft, Nokia, and AT&T -- but for consumers as well.
"And I don't know why [Apple is] acting like it's superior. I don't even get it. What are they trying to say?" -- Bill Gates on the Mac ads

Alan Greenspan on the Market and the Global Economy
During his six-decade-long career in financial services, Alan Greenspan was a central figure in seminal events that drove investment markets, from the savings-and-loan crisis to the dot-com bubble to the housing crisis. Now, nearing 87, he rarely speaks in public. But he did so last week, offering his forecasts for the U.S. and European economies.
Greenspan was the keynote speaker at the Annual Market Dinner (formerly called the Annual Market Outlook Dinner) of the Boston Security Analysts Society on Feb. 12. The sellout event drew an audience of 700.
Daniel J. Fasciano, the president of the BSAS, introduced Greenspan and briefly reviewed his credentials. Greenspan's career culminated in his chairmanship of the Federal Reserve as successor to Paul Volcker from 1987, a couple of months before the great market crash of that year, through early 2006. First appointed by President Reagan, he was reappointed by George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush. After leaving office, he founded a new firm, Greenspan Associates, LLC. Greenspan was somewhat stooped with age as he approached the dais. But he spoke with the firmness and command of information of his years at the Fed and with greater directness and clarity than he usually allowed himself in public when he served there.
Fasciano posed a number of questions and allowed Greenspan to respond at length.
Pluses and minuses for the economic outlook
Greenspan said 2013 looked to be an extraordinary year, because he could see very major pluses and very major minuses, which he reviewed and combined to reach a conclusion.
He cited, as one plus, the unquestionable improvement in the economy based on indicators such as the weekly index of industrial production. A second plus was the upturn in the housing market, which, he firmly stated, is real. This is partly a function of a decline in the number of vacant housing units, which is driving up prices. He observed that indices of housing are reported with a delay, and he suspected that housing is actually recovering faster than is being reported.
Another plus Greenspan cited was the state of the equity markets. In his words, equity premiums are now at almost the highest level in American history, which means that the market is pleased with the economic outlook and the downside risk is at a minimum. It was extraordinary, he said, to see how far the markets had gone down by March of 2009, when price-to-earnings ratios were at a level where "human beings don't allow them to go any further." Although we're considerably up from there, there is still the possibility of a further rise, he said.
But the minuses, Greenspan asserted, are horrendous and all related to the federal deficit, which we're having great difficulty controlling. The problem is a rise in social spending, which is not being covered by pay-as-you–go practices and which looks even worse for the future. We're about to have a major surge as the baby boomers retire, according to Greenspan.
At the same time, discretionary spending is declining, especially military spending, with the end of the war in Iraq and the anticipated end of the war in Afghanistan. The Congressional Budget Office is projecting that the ratio of military spending to GDP will fall to its lowest level since 1940 and the ratio of overall discretionary spending to GDP will sink to its lowest level in 50 years. So the question he asked is, given that there is little room to cut total discretionary spending, how do we fund these entitlements? And the answer, he said, is "with very great difficulty." This is why Congress is in an extraordinary deadlock.
Equity markets drive the economy
People don't realize the significance of equity prices, and asset prices in general, for day-to-day economic activity, according to Greenspan. His research shows that equity markets are not only a leading economic indicator, but, much more important, they are fundamental creators of economic activity. Approximately 6% of the growth in GDP is funded by a rise in equity values, on average, though this varies considerably. As a result, increasing equity values can be even more important for economic growth than fiscal stimulus.
The problem with fiscal stimulus is that we measure it gross, by how much it puts into the economy, but we don't put debits against it. The evidence is unambiguous, according to Greenspan, that rapid increases in deficits raise the expectation of taxes, engendering uncertainty in the business community and leading to significant declines in private capital investment. This lowers the impact of a fiscal stimulus by one-fourth to one-half and possibly significantly more, depending upon conditions. An equity stimulus doesn't have this negative aspect. The data after March 2009 make clear that the equity stimulus drove the economy. Greenspan acknowledged that an equity stimulus brings with it an increase in private debt, "but not more than the system can handle."
He reiterated that we must stabilize debt against the growth of GDP, and then bring it down. He said that there is a deep-seated bias in the political system toward spending. And history is incontrovertible: we always underestimate future deficits.

Thousands of eager fans of "Hawaii Five-0" flocked to Queen's Surf Beach this evening for a Sunset on the Beach sneak-preview of the CBS reboot of the popular crime drama.
Many lined a roped-off red carpet where the show's stars and producers made a regal entrance after 6:30 p.m. A packed beach of 5,000 fans screamed their names as they waited for CBS to screen the series pilot a full week ahead of its network premiere.
The invited guests are expected to include some of the surviving stars of the show, including Al Harrington, who played Ben in 64 episodes, and Jimmy Borges, who played several different parts.
Also scheduled to attend were the three daughters of the Leonard Freeman, the original show's creator: Robin Freeman Bernstein, Lisa Freeman and Susan Freeman Mann. Freeman died in 1974.
The new "Five-0" stars Alex O'Loughlin as Steve McGarrett, Scott Caan as Danny "Danno" Williams, Daniel Dae Kim as Chin Ho Kelly and Grace Park as Kono.
It was created by executive producers Peter Lenkov, Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci. All were scheduled to attend the screening.

Looking for an Atlanta doctor to do my eyes.
What is the best treatment for my eye bags? (photo)
Hi There,
Here's a link to the board certified doctors in your area who perform Eye Bags Treatment.
Hopefully this helps!
Doctor Answers 4
How to treat under eye bags
Hello and thank you for your question.
The best method for treating under eye bags would be a lower eyelid blepharoplasty. I routinely perform this procedure in my office. General anesthesia is not needed and the incision is never seen because I make it inside the eyelid!
I recommend that you see a board certified plastic surgeon in consultation to get more specific answers to your questions which can best be addressed after a thorough history and examination is performed.
Restylane for Eye Bags
Injections with Restylane or other hyaluronic acid fillers work great for early eye bags. Under eye bag treatment is an advanced, technically more difficult injection procedure. Please seek out an experienced cosmetic physician with expertise in this treatment.

Options For Treating Eye Bag
Eye bags typically form as the fat that used to fill the lower eyelid region either descends or disappears. If you look at a picture of you in your 20's you will see that the area under your eyes are fuller. The treatment typically isn't by removing skin but be replacing the missing tissue. Fillers can accomplish this but are temporary. They also carry certain risks.
I think that first you need a careful exam by a board certified plastic surgeon or oculoplastic surgeon. If indeed the problem is a loss of fat, then a fat transfer is an excellent choice. Fat can be removed in small quantities from your abdomen or hip (wherever you want), and then processed. In can then be inject through very small needles into the bag area to restore the volume you had when you were younger. I would suggest an in-person consultation with a couple of different surgeons in your area. Best of luck to you.

I'm a Canadian living in the U.S., driving a car that I love, a 2011 Subaru Impreza WRX. The possibility of moving back home to Toronto has arisen recently, and I want to be clear on the rules around bringing my car with me. The car was not manufactured in North America, so I know there will be fees. What can I expect to pay? What about having to pay HST, even though I've paid sales tax on the car already? And would I be better off trading it in here for something manufactured in North America, and then trading that in again for another WRX once I'm back in Canada? – Chris in Albany, N.Y.
You'll be facing the call of duty if you bring your American-bought Subaru back to Canada with you.
Because the WRX is built in Japan, you'll have to pay a 6.1 per cent duty on top of the GST and fees you'd pay to import a U.S.-built car into Canada – but figuring out how much it will be for a car you already own is tricky.
A Canada Border Services Agency spokesperson said the duty and GST get calculated at the border based on the price you paid for the car, including the original sales tax, converted into Canadian dollars.
Using the price you paid might make sense for a car you just purchased – but what about if you've owned it for a couple of years?
The GST and duty will be based on the Canadian Red Book value of your car, says Viraf Baliwalla of the Automall Network, a Toronto-based car broker. If you've been a U.S. resident for a year or more – and you've owned the car for at least a year – you'll get a $10,000 exemption, Baliwalla says.
The tax and duty will be based on the remainder. So, if a car had a book value of, say, $29,000 CAD, you'd pay tax and duty on $19,000. That would be $950 for GST and $1159 for duty.
"The Red Book value is usually much higher than what we'd buy a vehicle for in Canada or the U.S.," Baliwalla says.
The Red Book value can be as much as 20 per cent higher than the black book values you can find on the Internet, says the Alberta Motor Association.
On top of the GST and duty, there's a $100 federal excise tax if the car has air conditioning.
And you'll have to pay the $195 fee plus HST to the Registrar of Imported Vehicles (RIV).
Once you're back in Canada, you'll also have to pay to get it inspected at a Canadian Tire – the only places that do the inspections in the GTA – to see if it meets Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. If it needs upgrades such as daytime running lights to conform to Canadian standards, you'll have to pay for that.
To get Ontario licence plates, you'll have to get the car inspected to get an Ontario Safety Standards Certificate and a Drive Clean emissions report. The details are on the MTO website.
You'll have 30 days to register the car in Ontario, but there's good news: Ontario's Ministry of Transportation says you won't have to pay the provincial portion of the HST if you already own the car.
Would it be cheaper to buy a WRX in Canada to avoid paying the duty? The Automobile Protection Association doesn't think so – it will still cost more here, even with the dollar nearly at par.
"No, a used WRX is worth more here than there," says the APA's George Iny. "And, because it's a hot sports car, a one- or two-year-old WRX on the market here is very likely to have been hit or wrecked and rebuilt."
Baliwalla thinks you'll lose money by trading it in for a North American-built model in the U.S. to avoid the duty and then trading that car for a used WRX in Canada. "It would be a very bad option, financially," he says.
Sure, you would avoid paying duty, but you'd still would have to pay HST at the border on the full price of that interim vehicle.
Instead of trading it in, you might save a little money if you sell it privately, Baliwalla says.
"Our recommendation would be keep the WRX until it is close to the time to move, then sell it privately there," Baliwalla says. "Rent if you have to for the short term. Get a WRX here in Canada so it is waiting for him when he arrives."
If you do take your car with you, the RIV's website (www.riv.ca) walks you through the importation process.
You'll need to have a recall clearance letter from Subaru, and you'll need to let U.S. authorities know you're crossing at least three days in advance, the APA says.
Also, if you keep the car, you won't be covered for warranty repairs at dealerships in Canada. You'll either have to take the car to a Subaru dealer back in The States, or get it done at a Canadian dealer and submit the bill to Subaru USA for reimbursement.
"Keep in mind, this is basically a gentlemen's agreement and Subaru USA can change its policy at anytime," the APA says on its website.

Fostering Regional Integration for Shared Food Security
This past July in Manila, The Asia Foundation participated in an international forum to examine the critical issues surrounding global hunger and food security, hosted by the Asian Development Bank (ADB). "Food for All: Investment Forum for Food Security in Asia and the Pacific," held at the ADB headquarters in Manila, brought together key decisionmakers in agriculture and food security to discuss ways and means toward shared food security and agriculture sector prosperity. Douglas Bereuter, president of The Asia Foundation, moderated a key plenary session that focused on regional integration and cooperation for food security.
Connecting Philanthropy and Aid for Pakistan's Flood Survivors
Acknowledged as the worst humanitarian crisis in Pakistan's history, flooding in northwestern Pakistan has effected more than 20 million people. Bringing together the private donor community of Give2Asia, The Asia Foundation's philanthropic affiliate, and The Asia Foundation's program expertise in Pakistan, the two organizations are working to attract much-needed philanthropy and aid for flood survivors. Initial assessment by the Foundation resulted in identifying three local partners to support the relief and recovery effort; Give2Asia launched its Pakistan Flood Relief Fund with initial investments of $35,000; and the Foundation's Books for Asia program quickly assembled 1,000 new textbooks to donate to the flood-torn library of Northern University's City Campus located in the former North-West Frontier Province.

EL MONTE - The city will honor five-time Olympic medalist and El Monte native Kimberly Rhode during a special City Council meeting Tuesday.
A trap and skeet shooter, Rhode is the first American to win medals in five consecutive Olympic Games in an individual event and the only woman to have won two Olympic gold medals for Double Trap. Most recently, she won a gold medal in skeet shooting at the 2012 Summer Olympic Games, equaling the world record of 99 out of 100 clays.
Rhode began her Olympic career at the 1996 Summer Olympic Games, winning the gold medal and making her the youngest female gold medalist in the history of Olympic Shooting. She later won a bronze medal at the 2000 Summer Olympics and a gold medal at the 2004 Summer Olympic Games.
Rhode is also a spokeswoman for the Outdoor Channel and The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service.
The meeting is at 7 p.m. Tuesday at El Monte City Hall, 11333 Valley Blvd.
