Everybody and his brother have likely gotten one of the free GMail invites that have been popping up everywhere over the last six months or so. I mean how can you turn down an email account that provides a ton of storage space for each individual. I suspect I am like many of the people that grabbed one of the free accounts in that I have not been using it much. I have five main email accounts that I use for everything and really have not wanted to start using yet another account. So all that free storage space has been going to waste. Not anymore.GMail Drive is a free utility that turns your GMail storage space (1 GB) into a personal file storage area on your local computer. Once you install GMail Drive a new storage device appears in the My Computer folder on your Windows computer. You can create sub folders for organizing your files which can be manipulated using drag and drop just like any other storage device on your local system. This utility is wonderful for mobile professionals who need to make absolutely sure those important documents or presentations are with you on trips. Just drag them to the GMail Drive and even if you have a problem with the file while on a trip or you forgot to bring it with you for some reason, you can still access them from anywhere in the world. Excellent tool for the mobile user.

Whether you agree or not, he has a right to his opinion. In my opinion. I assume A&E is worried about offending gay ducks. Quack....quack
#3 Dec 18, 2013
Boycott A&E! It's called Freedom of Speech. I will no longer watch anything on this channel, nor give my money to any company that pulls their ads from this show!
#4 Dec 18, 2013
I always suspect this clown was a tea bagger, a racist, and a religious zealot. Hope they put him and Dog the Bounty hunter on an island in the Arctic Ocean.
#5 Dec 18, 2013
Phil is a big part of the show, and respected by many that watch the show. A&E may be wonderfull champions of gay rights, that is their right. Phil has a right to his opinion also, and I applaud his stance, in the wonderfull world of political correctness.
Apology to gay ducks everywhere.
Now will large retail stores show outrage, and quit carrying stuff with his image, after they take their profits during this CHRISTmas season?
Or will sales of Phil shirts and toys profits take center stage over fear of offending low numbers of people?

He has a right to his opinion and to speak it.
First amendment.

KKK and nazis have free speech too?
Racists, hate onagers, and tea baggers should've deported

I quit watching the show after filthy Phil was all smelly in the one episode and was begging Kay for that vag. Even as far as quoting from the bible saying God said that Kay should break him off a pice of that ass. So this is good Christian, family entertainment?
Bunch of overpaid, dirty rednecks.
#10 Dec 19, 2013
Sure,he has a right to express his opinion. By the same measure,A&E has every right to deny him the use of their medium to express those views. This is too funny. Those expressing their disgust are always applauding the censorship of others whom they disagree with. Now they want to p*ss and moan about corporate censorship?
Robertson is an idiot. A spoiled brat. An inbred redneck.
This show appeals to the men of our country that enjoy having an extreme case of swamp-a*s everyday. This show also appeals to the women willing to go south on the aforementioned men because of their attraction to the pungent stench of swamp-a*s. Both genders of this show's audience enjoys french kissing folks with extreme cases of tarter on and between their teeth. They're also attracted to butt-breath.

Why is this man being ridiculed for expressing his opinion? It's just that. His opinion. His belief. Duck Dynasty is a reality show. Seems folks don't like it being so real. HE IS ALLOWED TO HAVE AN OPINION. A&E has expressed their opinion by suspending him. But that is ok, right? GQ magazine didn't seem to mind it. Will their gay readers not buy the magazine now? This is what people fight for, freedom to express their views without fear or censorship.

Have you read his contract? People may or may not care. Seems a dozen or so here care enough to comment. And the story is in the media. Guess someone gave a hoot. Or quack.

The contract is standard and online. Google it. The network was and I quote "brought into disparaging light through controversial opinion"

Robertson added in the interview,It seems like, to me, a vagina as a man would be more desirable than a mans anus. Thats just me. Im just thinking: Theres more there! Shes got more to offer. I mean, come on, dudes! You know what Im saying? But hey, sin: Its not logical, my man. Its just not logical. And I agree with Phil. http://www.caintv.com/ae-suspends-duck-dynast...
#17 Dec 19, 2013
It is still too bad A&E made the choice. So, get rid of Duck Dynasty, but leave the trash like Housewive's or Kardashian's on? Sad. Very sad.
#18 Dec 19, 2013
Are those A&E shows?
#19 Dec 19, 2013
Anti freedom people have the right to express theit opinion also. Should they attempt to rule by fear and intimidation?
No group of people should be isolated, and it be suggested they be refered to the "camps". Freedom of speach for all.
#20 Dec 19, 2013
You know they are not. This was a funny show. Grown men doing what grown men do. Well, what some do. Take it for what it is. Entertainment. And this man is allowed to have his opinion. Bless him for having the balls to voice it.

Researchers have discovered that one of Australia's most damaging agricultural pests may choose where to invade depending on how hot it is, a finding which may allow them to predict where future outbreaks occur.
Locust swarms cost the agricultural industry millions of dollars each year, and are particularly damaging in southern Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and parts of Western Australia in the spring to autumn months.
But University of Sydney biological scientist Dr Fiona Clissold found the area locusts choose to rest in and digest after feeding depends on the nutritional quality of the plant they just ate.
"We found some plants are good quality foods for locusts when digested at high temperatures, whilst others are better when digested at cooler temperatures," Clissold said.
She and her colleagues examined two species of grass commonly demolished by locusts – kangaroo grass, and wheat.
Kangaroo grass gives locusts a high protein diet at high temperatures and a high carbohydrate diet at low temperatures, she said. With wheat, the protein to carbohydrate ratio does not change with temperature, but locusts are able to absorb the nutrients more effectively at higher temperatures.
"After eating, locusts sit for 30-40 minutes to digest their meal before feeding again," Clissold said.
"Following a meal of kangaroo grass, the locusts seek shady places, such as behind grass stalks or in burrows, in order to get a high carbohydrate meal. After eating wheat, however, the locusts sit in warmer areas to ensure a protein-rich meal.
"A plant can be a poor quality diet at one temperature and a good quality diet at another."
Clissold will present her findings at the Society for Experimental Biology annual meeting in Britain on Wednesday, to show locusts seemed to be driven by their ability to gain carbohydrate, contradicting current scientific belief that they are driven to gain nitrogen.
But a high carbohydrate diet allows locusts to grow bigger, fly further and do more damage, Clissold said.
"When temperatures are hotter and food quality is good, locust plagues are more likely to occur as the locusts can develop more quickly and thus get more generations in per season, rapidly increasing the population," she said.
If scientists could better understand the traits in plants that prevent insects gaining the nutrition they need, as well as what occurs in the gut after ingestion, plants could be selected or genetically modified to be unattractive food sources for the insects, she said.
It would be a coup for the farming community, with the problem so bad that in 2010 the Victorian government announced it would invest $43.5m to tackle the pests, while South Australia allocated $12m.
The work of Clissold and her colleagues could also have implications for climate change. She said increases in temperature in Australia could alter the crops that pest species currently attack, or even lead to new pest species.
She said scientists and the general public were increasingly aware of the importance of climate change being considered as part of current and future research.
"Unfortunately the people making decisions seem to want to ignore the research and worse still shut it down," she said.
She and her team are now examining how climate change may affect dietary preferences of herbivorous insects in general.
• On 3 July 2014 this article was amended to name the country hosting the Society for Experimental Biology annual meeting as Britain. A previous version said it was taking place in the US.

They are having their second or third annual "ink arts" expo for Valentines here. Get pierced or tatted up for your sweetie.
Sure I am getting old. When I was growing up it was WWll Marines and various deadbeats, outlaw bikers and ex cons who had them.
Now I see people under 18 with them. It saddens me to think that they think what they find as cool and a must have will someday turn into a what was I thinking.
I know a lot of people with them. That's fine. Many of them are fantastic people. So don't judge a book by it's cover. I know.
First impressions though.
I just don't have to appreciate them.

It makes them happy. A lot of them are very serious about the artwork. It's a way of life for many of them. Why be so fuddy duddy about it? Of the ones here the only one that bothers me is the Nazi tattoos. It's the subject, not the tattoos that bothers me there.
Having tattoos does not make you a bad person, or even necessarily an idiot. Though I do have to admit that you have to wonder about some of the tattoos that people choose to have made…
In Japan tattoos are associated with the Yakuza, the Japanese Mafia, so it isn't common to see it here. A great number of my European friends have them, though.Jan 21, 2012 at 4:52 pm #1827827
well as a tattooed person…..
Not a bad person, but some may argue the idiot part about me. Most of my friends (a lot are musicians) are heavily tatted. I probably have the least amountJan 21, 2012 at 4:54 pm #1827830

Home again...September 6th
I'm happy that we packed last night before bed. This morning we enjoy our breakfast as we look out over Victoria Harbor one last time, and soon set off to the bus stop.Jeff has figured out that land transpotation for this whole trip has cost us exactly $20 Canadian or about $18.50 US. Bus fare is only $2.50 ...
Butchart Gardens and a Seaplane Flight
... love, heaven, happiness, or success. It is used sometimes as a figure of speech to represent something much sought after that may not even exist, or, at least, may not ever be found. There is also a whole lot of information about the Spanish and an early chief covering himself in gold dust and a lost city etc. That was all a bit too much to digest!
I just love the way technology is used these days to get the message across. ...
Easter with the Cookies
... The staff and the decor were really cool, def worth trying if ever you come to Victoria. With our food babies, we cruised downtown and wandered around the souveneir shops and the harbour.
The girls skating was really good. The rink was of course quite cold, but I guess that's to be expected in an ice rink. Kerri made us Pierogi's for dinner, which were a dough filled with mashed potato and either cheese, onion or bacon (we had all three). They were delicious!!!
Ferrying to Victoria
... is a beautiful city located on a small bay facing Into the Pacific Ocean. The 150 + year old Empress Hotel is the focal point of the Inner Harbor and our Marriott is right behind it. Great view from our corner room. After checking into the Marriott, we took a tour bus to Butchart Gardens which is about 20 miles north of the Inner Harbor. This gardens is world class and was started in ...
Life in Victoria.
... and coffees. They are also open late at night for Hookah.
- Make sure you try tradition Canadian Poutine whilst in Canada. It's their national food. Fries, Gravy and curds of cheese. Waffles with traditional maple syrup is also a must. West Coast Waffles is the place to go!
- Canadian's are also pretty big on their Caesers: a drink with vodka, tomato juice, celery and bacon. Sounds interesting hey. I wasn't a fan but i know a lot of ...

Chapter Three: PuzzleMature
Sitting in the kitchen later that evening, Juliet's mind was reeling. She didn't dare ask Elena what all of that was about – the only thing she could get out of her mother, who was sitting dejectedly on the couch, was that she'd decided not to cook dinner and that Juliet was on her own. Juliet shook her head slowly as she poured a bowl of cereal for dinner.
Many of the words Hayle had shouted wrenched odd feelings deep in Juliet's heart: Gabriel, Eldias, wanderlust, and most importantly, Ayephim. That last word had thrown strange images into view, the last memory of her father in a different sense – the shadow behind the purple light was not the same build as her father, and another piece had come to mind, which was black leather.
Juliet started as the phone rang, spilling milk across the table. Grabbing a pile of napkins in one hand and the phone in the other, she answered as she mopped up the mess.
"Hello, Montgomery residence."
"Juliet?" questioned an unwelcome familiar voice.
It took Juliet a moment to calm down before speaking. "How did you get this number?"
"It's called a phone book."
"What do you want?"
"I want to talk. Is that so bad?" Nigel asked.
Juliet sat down heavily in the kitchen chair, dropping the soggy napkins before hanging her head in her hand. "No, I suppose not."
"Look, about what happened earlier today…"
"Just forget about it, won't you? It's no big deal. My life is full of things like that. Don't cry over spilled milk." She smiled bitterly as she stared at the mass of wet napkin on the table.
"I can't. Especially when you say things like that, Juls."
"I hate that nickname."
"Too bad," said Nigel smoothly. "That's my name for you, so get over it."
She sighed. "If you want to talk, then get to the talking. My cereal is slowly becoming food for my trashcan."
"Cereal?" he questioned skeptically.
"Do you frown upon my dinner preferences?"
There was a quiet laugh from over the phone. "No, of course not. If you want to go eat, I can call back later."
"Why not hang up, let me eat, and not call back at all?"
"I can't, Juls. It's too important. When you tell me that your life is full of 'things like that', by which I assume circumstances that you can't make sense of, I want to help you."
"How on earth could you help me?"
Nigel was quiet for a moment, and then, "You were right. Earlier, I mean. I haven't figured you out."
Juliet said nothing.
"But I want to," he continued. "The things you've said, your paper, the way you react when I try to figure you out – you're running away from yourself, Juliet. Stop running and let me help you figure this out. I want to help you."
"That's great and all, but I have more pressing matters on my hands."
"Soggy cereal."
And with that, Juliet hung up the phone. She slammed the cordless receiver down on the table and stirred her cereal, fuming. Shoving her chair back, Juliet got up again and dumped the entire bowl in the sink.
"I'm going to bed," she called to her mother before slumping up the stairs.
The next morning, Juliet came downstairs to find that Hayle had returned. "Morning," Juliet grumbled, still half-asleep and making a determined line for the coffee.
"Hello, Juliet. I'm sorry I left so suddenly yesterday evening. I had some important business to attend to."
Juliet grunted her reply. She poured her coffee and grabbed a Poptart from out of a cabinet. Hayle watched her curiously.
"What's that?"
"And what does that mean?"
Juliet looked at her from the corner of her eye, but decided not to think anything of it. "'S a breakfast pastry. You microwave it for a few seconds until it gets warm and gooey and then you eat it."
Hayle watched her intently as she put the Poptart into the microwave and hit start. The appliance lit up and began to whir. At that moment, Hayle shouted, "Get down!" and thrust her right hand forward.
The microwave exploded.
Elena and Juliet screamed, ducking behind the island as Hayle stood, watching the microwave fiercely. The smoke detector started wailing as the black smoke billowed out from the gap between the two cabinets where the microwave used to be. Elena finally straightened up and opened both windows and the back door, turning on the ceiling fan. When the smoke cleared, all that was left of the sleek, black microwave was a faint layer of melted plastic still fastened to the cabinets.
"What the hell was that?" Elena demanded.
"That thing was about to kill her!"
Juliet slowly rose up from behind the counter, staring incredulously at Hayle.
"You blew up my breakfast!"
"It was better than it blowing up your face!"
Elena ran her fingers through her hair, shaking her head. "Hayle…"
Juliet picked up her coffee mug, snorting with laughter and sidled past Hayle into the living room, listening as Hayle continued to question what it was she had done wrong.
The school day was the complete opposite as the previous day had been. Instead of Nigel going through great lengths to avoid Juliet, she was now avoiding him. Each time she spotted him in the hallway, she was torn – while she wanted nothing to do with him, she also couldn't help feeling desperate to know what was going on.
She went through the entire day debating whether or not to talk to him, and ended up successfully dodging him. Juliet sighed with relief when she pushed open the side door without being confronted by him. She decided it was for the best that she hadn't had to deal with him, until she drew close to her car. He was there, lying comfortably on the hood, reading a book.
"Long time no see," he said when she approached.
"Get off my car, you creep."
Nigel compromised by setting his book down on his chest but didn't move, staring up at the blue sky as he tucked his arms behind his head. "I've got a question for you, Juls."
She narrowed her eyes. "How many times have I told you that I don't want you to call me by that name?"
"I do believe this is the second."
"Knock it off."
He turned to look at her. "Does the word 'Ayephim' mean anything to you?"
Juliet started, unable to hide the shock that flashed across her face.
"You've heard it before, I take it?"
She didn't answer. Nigel finally leapt off the hood of her bug with grace that Juliet hadn't seen before. When did he learn how to move so lightly in the air like that?
"Do you know what it means?"
"No," she finally replied, truthfully. "The first time I ever heard it was last night. My mother was having an argument with someone. The person she was arguing with referred to me with it."
He stared at her, eyes wide. "What's this person's name?"
"What does she look like?" He asked shakily.
"She looks like she's straight out of a comic book. She's got one blue eye and one gold eye, blue and gold hair, a gold dress…"
"It can't be…"
"Excuse me?"
Nigel finally looked up at her. "You're an Ayephim."
"I was basically told as much, yes."
"And you don't know that you're an Ayephim," he continued, obviously disconcerted.
"Are you all right, Nigel?"
He shook his head slowly. He looked as if he were about to faint.
Juliet waved a hand in front of his face. "Hello? Earth to Nigel? Come in, Nigel."
"Get in your car and go home. Tell Hayle… tell Hayle that Evangeline's son knows exactly why she's here."
"What? I'm so confused. Tell me what the hell is going on, won't you? You were all set on helping me last night."
"Yeah," he said, finally regaining his usual sense of humor. "That was before you ditched me for a bowl of soggy cereal."
"Let me make sure I have this right, then. You finally know what's going on with me, and now that you know, you're not even going to explain it to me."
"Yeah, pretty much."
"You're a jerk."
"And you're an Ayephim," he said quietly.
"What the hell does that even mean?"
"I'm hoping you'll figure that for yourself. Go home, Juliet. Deliver that message for me." He rifled through his bag and pulled out a ragged scrap of paper and a pencil. He jotted down a phone number. "Call me tonight."
"I – fine," she huffed, surrendering and accepting the paper. "Fine, I'll go home, I'll deliver your stupid message, and continue to be kept in the dark."
Nigel replied, still distracted. "Good, you do that."
Juliet got in her car and for a moment, the usual thought of running him over passed through her mind. Shaking her head, she pulled out of her parking space and headed home.
Getting out of the car, Juliet looked over the house. It appeared deserted from the outside – she assumed that Hayle and Elena were probably out shopping for a new microwave. She took her time when she went inside, getting a snack to eat while doing her homework.
Once upstairs, Juliet juggled her bag and plate of peanut butter crackers as she opened the door. She walked straight into the room without looking around, setting her snack on the desk and her school bag on her desk chair. Only when she turned around to get one of her textbooks from her bedside table did she realize she wasn't alone.
Hayle was sitting on her bed, holding her physics book, apparently waiting for her for a while. All around her on the mattress were Juliet's new sketches and notes about Eldias that she had created last night while trying to sleep.
"Did you make all of these?" Hayle asked calmly, as if sitting in someone's bedroom unannounced was a normal thing to do.
"Y-yes," Juliet stuttered.
"Where did you find out about Eldias?"
"My mother keeps a small wooden chest under her bed full of books and other things about it. I've been kind of obsessed with it recently," she admitted.
Hayle handed Juliet the textbook and picked up the closest sketch to her – a detailed map of the inner streets of Taln. "It's unfair of her to keep it from you. I know you were listening yesterday night, Julietrielle. I know what you heard confused me. You must be wishing you had someone to talk to about it."
"I'm not, actually," she replied. "I've already got someone on my back about it all the time and I don't need another one."
Hayle's brow wrinkled. "I'm sure you're not talking about your mother."
"Of course not. There's this boy at my school who seems to know a lot about it. When I mentioned to him that you were here, he told me to bring you a message."
"Why didn't you say that in the first place? Tell me this instant."
"He told me to inform you that he knows exactly why you're here. He wanted me to tell you that 'Evangeline's son' knows."
The pile of sketches in Hayle's hands fluttered to the floor. She stared blankly at Juliet and said, "I'd love to stay and explain everything to you, Julietrielle, but I have something I need to go investigate."
Before Juliet could protest, Hayle had left, but not through the door. She had leapt out of Juliet's window. Juliet rushed over and stuck her head out, expecting to see Hayle sprawled in the unkempt grass, but there was no one to be seen. Shaking her head, she fished the small paper with Nigel's number out of her pocket and picked up the phone.
Nigel answered on the second ring. "Juliet?"
"If I'd been anyone else, whoever it was would have found that rude."
She could hear his quiet laughter. "I have Caller ID, Juls."
"Stalker," she muttered.
"Anyway," Nigel continued, "did you deliver my message?"
"Yes master. I have delivered the message. And instead of killing a messenger, she has gone off and killed herself?"
"Excuse me?" said Nigel, very alarmed.
She laughed. "Well, it's kind of weird to explain, but basically I told her what you said and she leapt out of my window. If she died, her corpse isn't under my window."
"She's not dead."
"How can you be so sure?"
Nigel didn't answer. Juliet sighed.
"So are you ever going to tell me what the hell an Ayephim is?"
"Not if Hayle didn't tell you. Did she say anything when she jumped out of your window?"
"She said something about needing to investigate. I'm not quite sure where she's gone to, since she's obviously not dead." She narrowed her eyes, wishing she could throttle the answer out of him.
"That's not very encouraging… tell me, have you seen any strange birds outside of your window recently?"
"Never mind. You'd understand what I was talking about if you had. That means she must have gone to Eldias."
"How can you be sure this Eldias place is real?"
He laughed bitterly. "There's so much you don't know, Juliet." It sounded as if he were about to hang up.
"Wait," said Juliet suddenly, surprising even herself. The faint sound of Nigel's breathing returned.
"What is it?"
"You haven't been yourself lately."
He said nothing.
"You haven't been following me around in the halls and trying to sit with me at lunch and everything, and I think I'm right in saying that whatever this is that's going on is the cause."
"You would be correct," he replied dryly.
"I don't think it's fair that you can hold something that I don't know about against me."
There was a moments silence and then, "I thought you hated having me around."
"It's better than not having anyone around."
"So what are you trying to say here, Juls? I've got homework."
She gritted her teeth. "Do you think that, maybe, tomorrow we can pretend like all this craziness isn't happening? Pick up the old routine."
"If I say yes, will you let me go do my calculus?"
"I suppose," she answered, grinning at the smile in his voice.
"Then, yes." The line went dead.

Mercedes-Benz India sold 7138 cars as wholesale for the period of January to December 2012. It claims that it attained segment benchmark when it comes to overall sales in Indian luxury car segment. Much of its success is credited to the new M-Class SUV launched in India in May 2012. In fact, it has been booked until May 2013.
The company also cited the B-Class, which was the pioneer in the Sports Tourer category in India. This model is booked until February 2013. Mercedes-Benz continued to dominate the luxury motoring segment with its S-Class model. For 2012, Mercedes-Benz India had implemented an aggressive network expansion strategy.
Mercedes-Benz India opened 6 new touchpoints in Tier II & III cities. The brand now has a presence in 31 cities with 72 touchpoints. This makes it have the densest network compared to other luxury car manufacturers in India.

Just released a new version of WidgetFactory that will work with Captivate 6.1. Currently any widgets built with WidgetFactory build with a version under 6.1 will not work with Captivate, so make sure you update your widgets.
Click here to get the update
A couple of changes have come in with Captivate 6.1 which will cause issues with some widgets. For one, most slide objects now have mouseEnabled and mouseChildren turned off. This means that if you've attached a CLICK mouse event to one, then no matter how much you click it the event won't dispatch. To get around this, WidgetFactory's getSlideObjectByName() method now turns on the mouseEnabled and mouseChildren properties before returning you the slide object. However, there will probably be various issues with this to come. For example, if at runtime you've got a button INSIDE your widget that you want the audience to press, that won't work out of the box in CP 6.1, because the widget itself has had its mouseEnabled and mouseChildren properties turned off. You'll have to cycle up the widget's parents and make sure those two properties are set to true on each parent.
There is currently a known issue with Captivate 6.1 to do with Interactive Widgets. If you place an interactive widget on the first frame of a slide, then everything is fine. However, if you move it off that frame to… say frame 30, then the Interactive Widget will NOT pause the movie, and it will NOT report success or failure. All the code in the widget runs fine, there just seems to be some bug in Captivate that stops this happening. There's not really anything we can do about it on the Widget developer end, so if you get inquiries about this, just tell the customer that for the moment they'll have to start the interactive widget from the first frame of the slide. Here's hoping there's a patch coming out for this soon.
Aside from that, getSlideObjectByName() will now return objects that have been 'displayed for rest of project'; which is a nice overdue feature. There are also some bug fixes, mostly fixing some issues widgets had with Question Pools.
Hopefully this will clear your collective headache of all the 6.1 customers sending you e-mails saying: It don't work!

Obesity, lack of insurance cited in U.S. health gap
* U.S. lags other wealthy nations in health measures
* Report sought by U.S. government sees no single factor
* U.S. spends more on healthcare than any other country
By Susan Heavey
WASHINGTON, Jan 9 (Reuters) - Overeating, lack of health insurance access and comparatively high poverty are among the many reasons why Americans are less healthy and die younger than people in other wealthy countries, a report requested by the U.S. government showed on Wednesday.
The United States spends more per person on healthcare than any other nation but lags on many important health measures amid higher rates of obesity and heart disease and worse infant mortality rates than other rich countries.
The 404-page report by the National Research Council and Institute of Medicine, which provide advice to U.S. policymakers, compared the health of Americans to that of people in 16 other rich countries. They included Canada, Japan, Australia and 13 western European countries including Britain, France, Italy, Switzerland and Germany.
"Americans are dying and suffering at rates that we know are unnecessary, because people in other high-income countries are living longer lives and enjoying better health. What concerns our panel is why, for decades, we have been slipping behind," said Steven Woolf, a medical professor at Virginia Commonwealth University who led the panel that produced the report.
Americans overall fared the worst among the countries in the report when it came to nine areas: infant mortality; injury and homicide rates; teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases; HIV infection and AIDS; drug abuse; obesity and diabetes; heart disease; lung disease; and disabilities.

Build a Biscuit
Cyndi's story
My name is Cyndi and I'm originally from Brooklyn, NYC. I'm hardworking, resourceful, creative, inventive & curious about the world and everything in it. I love helping people and learning about different cultures & languages and for as long as I can remember I've always wanted to own my own business and I'm positive that it was mostly influenced by the entrepreneurial spirit my mom exhibited despite the struggles I witnessed her go through as a young child. I remember being 5 or 6 years old, helping her separate the orders for the door-to-door cosmetics she sold or slices of cakes and pies she'd make and sell to fellow students & teachers at night school. My mom has always been my biggest motivation to succeed in life because I'd love nothing more than to do as much for her as she has done for my siblings and I all our lives.
It's always been my goal to start a business that would bring the most happiness to myself, as well as, other people and with my business, Build-a-Biscuit, I truly believe that I'm that much closer to achieving that. Build-a-Biscuit is a 'real food fast' restaurant that allows a customer to start with a square, buttermilk biscuit and choose from a list of scratch-made toppings like chicken pot pie, Caribbean seafood curry bisque, beef brisket, caramel apples and chocolate gravy, to go in between.. in a box. I make over 15 toppings (some American comfort food favorites, some international that I've disguised with a catchy name) that a customer can choose from evoking culinary creativity with the comfort of knowing that they're eating real, farm-to-table food made with love and passion.
Through my restaurant I've been able to help people of all ages, from toddlers to the elderly, enjoy a real meal that's often nostalgic & reminiscent of their childhood. I cook using fresh ingredients and have even come up with a few scratch-made teas & fruit juices that are raved over by kids & adults alike. However, at this point my restaurant and I are in desperate need of assistance. On the outside it looks like a real restaurant – I've built most of the furniture with my own two hands out of wood & other materials I'd pick up here & there but on the inside I'm merely a shell of a restaurant and technically cannot be considered one. My restaurant location and I are in desperate need of real equipment and tools necessary to run successfully (a hood, stove, shelves, cooler, etc.) and/or a new location equipped to accommodate my business. For the past year I've been running my restaurant alone, cooking 20 minutes away at a bakery to provide my customers with the freshest food everyday. At this point I can't afford to pay anyone with all of my equipment, & other needs, piling up.
This entire year has been quite a learning experience and I know that if I endure I can potentially grow a company that could create jobs for other hardworking people with a passion for creating great things and making others smile while simultaneously setting an amazing example for younger ones in my family to follow, be it putting them to work for work experience or aiding them in finding their passion or different alternatives of survival in life as well. Unfortunately, various addictions have trampled through my family like an angry bull leaving behind scars that aren't easily covered up or easy to disguise. Being able to see my business to its greatest potential could potentially stop a vicious cycle of abuse for the next generation that would be immeasurably gratifying.
Thank you for your time & consideration and God bless!

Chargers Select Tackle Eben Britton In Bloggers Mock
As draft day draws nearer and nearer, speculation as to what position the San Diego Chargers will address in the first round continues to grow. Some feel the Chargers would be best suited to draft a running back with their top pick. Others feel an upgrade at safety is needed, or help along the defensive line. But those who've followed the team closely know how much the Chargers want a top offensive tackle.
Last year, the Chargers were poised to select an offensive tackle with the 27th overall pick in the 2008 NFL Draft. Unfortunately for the Bolts, a record eight offensive tackles were selected in the first 26 picks. By the time the Chargers came on to the clock, all the tackles were gone. This year, the Chargers are in a much better position to acquire an elite tackle.
Chargers GM AJ Smith has made it no secret that he is not happy about the way his team has struggled to run the football, and plans to address the issue:
"I just know we're not good enough. But I will say this, which I've said before: we need to have a solid, consistent running game. We have to." - AJ Smith
BoltHype - The San Diego Chargers Blog, represented the Chargers in the NoLogoNeeded bloggers mock draft. A group of 32 bloggers were assembled and tasked with selecting a player for their teams in a running mock draft. Here is how the draft played out:

Yes i believe this is a good move. Like i said previously this will secure greener pastures for LTizzle to sizzle again, Sproles lightning, and whoever it may be in the back field. I was thinking middle linebacker but since we picked up Burnette I have a feeling we'll be alot better with him there and also since we'll have the shawne and shaun show back once again. What say you?!
What will the Chargers do with the 16th pick? Check out this writer's opinion. http://fanzak.com/fzrants/Mock_Draft_10___Middle_Of_The_Pack_Selections
maybe the chargers should trade their 1st round 16th pick for detroit's 1st round 20th pick and their 2nd or 3rd round pick to pick up the necessary peices
Good move but not the best one. If Ray is still available for the Chargers, they should take him.
It is true that they need to improve the OL, but we all know that they can put points on the board, the problem is to stop the other guys offense. Deja-vu....
Detroit and Chicago both need a quarterback. What do you guys think about trading Charlie Whitehurst for a pick? Does he become an RFA next year?

With the top 4 OT's gone, I would have to go defense- either Aaron Maybin (not the perfect DE in a 3-4) or Tyson Jackson.
With Igor Olshanky's departure DE is the top priority. The best pick available at #16: DE Tyson Jackson LSU
Inside Linebacker was solved with the signing of Kevin Burnett. So those who are hoping for Maluaga will be dissappointed. Besides, a coverage LB is more of a priority and Rey is not one of those but more of a downhill hole plugger. I also don't understand all those hoping for an RB in the 1rst round.
The right side of the offensive line should also be addressed. AJ should have done this last 2 drafts but wasted them on Craig Davis and Jacob Hester. I would love to have that monster Jerome Williams but our Round 2 was wasted on Hester. Jerome won't fall into the 3rd round.

Location: Jean Mayer Human Nutrition Research Center On Aging2010 Annual Report
1a. Objectives (from AD-416)
LAB: VITAMINS & CARCINOGENESIS 1. To define the role that availability of each of the one-carbon nutrients plays in determining the risk of common cancers and to determine the nature of the interactions between these nutrients in this regard. 2. To determine how dietary antagonists (such as alcohol) of one-carbon nutrients further modify the effects of these nutrients in determining cancer risk. 3. To determine how genetic make-up, and other select factors, interact with intake of these nutrients in determining cancer risk. LAB: NUTRITION & CANCER 1. Determine whether high fat diet induced non-alcoholic steatohepatitis is a promoting factor in hepatic carcinogenesis. 2. Determine whether dietary lycopene will protect against high fat diet promoted liver cancer development.
1b. Approach (from AD-416)
LAB: VITAMINS & CARCINOGENESIS Appropriate alterations in dietary and nutritional habits have an important role to play in cancer prevention. The nutrients involved in one-carbon metabolism (methionine, choline and the B-vitamins, folate, B12, B6, and B2) have drawn considerable attention in this regard and are the focus of this laboratory. Our mission is to examine the complex roles that these nutrients play in modifying metabolic and genetic pathways that lead to human carcinogenesis and thereby define the means by which cancers can be nutritionally prevented. The program of research emphasizes how these dietary compounds interact with genetic background to modify molecular and signaling pathways which alter the development of cancers and to examine how other exogenous factors, such as alcohol consumption also play a role. The laboratory focuses on colorectal cancer and breast cancer and utilizes animal studies, cell culture studies, and human studies to accomplish our research goals. LAB: NUTRITION & CANCER We will use both high fat diet-induced nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) rats and genetically-induced obese mice with injections of liver-specific carcinogen, diethylnitrosamine, followed by treatment with tomato extract or lycopene for both short and long durations. We will focus on the role of the stress-activated protein c-Jun-NH2-kinase (JNK) signaling, a key component mediating the high fat-induced oxidative stress and inflammatory processes, in response to tomato extract and lycopene supplementation on both cell proliferation/apoptosis, inflammation and premalignant and malignant lesions in obesity related hepatic tumorigenesis. We will complement animal study with cell culture studies (e.g., use siRNA silencing of JNK) using human hepatocyte lines and liver cancer cells to facilitate mechanistic studies to determine the contribution of the JNK signaling pathway to lycopene action. Since adiposity contributes to the increased incidence and/or death from liver cancer, we will examine metabolic alteration, including insulin resistance, and pro-inflammatory signaling in intra-abdominal fat tissue and its potential contribution to hepatic carcinogenesis. Once we establish that there is an association between metabolic alteration and hepatic carcinogenesis, we will examine insulin and insulin growth factors (IGF-I/IGF-II) signaling cascades and address their differential activation in NASH and its related hepatic carcinogenesis, as well as potential actions of tomato extract and lycopene prevention against the onset of high fat diet/obesity-related liver disease.
3. Progress Report
This project includes the work of two subordinate projects at the HNRCA funded through a Specific Cooperative Agreement with Tufts University. For further information and progress reports, see 1950-51000-074-01S, (One-Carbon Nutrients in the Prevention of Cancer) and 1950-51000-074-02S, (Nutritional Determinants of Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis in Hepatic Carcinogenesis).
4. Accomplishments
1. Higher concentrations of B-vitamins in the human breast are associated with increased activity of an anti-cancer gene (LAB: Vitamins & Carcinogenesis). ARS-funded researchers from Tufts University in Boston, MA examined some of the factors that determine how readily an anti-cancer gene called p16 is expressed in the human breast since adequate expression of this gene is critical in preventing the evolution of cancer. Higher tissue levels of the B-vitamin folate concurred with less inhibition of expression of the p16 gene. Abstinence from alcohol, prior pregnancy, and no family history of breast cancer were each predictive of higher breast folate levels. This provides insight into how adequate amounts of folate in the diet might convey protection against breast cancer.
2. Providing mother mice with supplemental levels of 1-carbon vitamins during pregnancy suppresses the risk of developing intestinal cancer in the offspring. (LAB: Vitamins & Carcinogenesis). ARS-funded researchers from Tufts University in Boston, MA conducted a study in mice that demonstrated that maternal intake of B-vitamins during pregnancy is an important determinant of the risk of developing intestinal cancer in offspring. They demonstrated that it required levels of B-vitamin intake that far exceeded the basal requirement of the adult mouse to optimally suppress tumorigenesis in the offspring. These observations should assist in the future design of optimal diets during pregnancy.
3. Common variants in human genes that determine blood uracil levels do not predict breast cancer risk (LAB: Vitamins & Carcinogenesis). ARS-funded researchers from Tufts University in Boston, MA have previously shown that some common variants in genes that are involved in the cellular disposal of an undesirable building block of DNA, uracil, predict how much uracil is inadvertently incorporated into DNA. A large case-control study of breast cancer was therefore examined and it was found that these common variants ('polymorphisms') did not predict the risk of breast cancer. This was true even when folate status, which partly determines uracil levels, was taken into account. In order to efficiently prevent common cancers it is helpful to identify those in the population who have a genetically-based hazard of developing those cancers. This study showed that four gene variants that were candidate risk factors did not, in fact, predict the likelihood of breast cancer and therefore we have shown that they are not suitable indicators of cancer risk.
4. A High-fat Diet May Promote Liver Cancer (LAB: Nutrition and Cancer Biology). One of the consequences of the current obesity epidemic is increased rates of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, a chronic liver disease in adults and children. This ultimately leads to cirrhosis and end-stage liver disease, such as liver cancer. The increasing incidence of liver cancer in the United States has paralleled the epidemic of obesity. Several large population studies have revealed that obese people have a higher risk of incidence or mortality of liver cancer, however, there is still a need for data on the relationship between inflamed liver, and liver cancer. ARS-funded researchers from Tufts University in Boston, MA were the first to use an animal model to demonstrate that a high-fat diet induced nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) promotes liver cancer development. This animal study will provide the foundation to develop effective dietary components for the prevention of obesity/NASH related liver disease including cancer.
5. Lycopene, a Nutrient in Tomatoes, May Inhibit Some Forms of Liver Cancer (LAB: Nutrition and Cancer Biology). The beneficial effects of carotenoid-rich fruits and vegetables on cancer risk have been found in many studies, with strong evidence that tomatoes and tomato products as well as tomato carotenoids (lycopene, phytoene, and alpha-tomatine) have important health benefits. Although there is strong supporting evidence from both animal and cell culture studies that these carotenoids inhibit liver tumor growth, our understanding of how carotenoids function against tumorigenesis, particularly against obesity-related hepatic tumorigenesis, is far from complete. ARS-funded researchers from Tufts University in Boston, MA were the first to show in an animal model that lycopene and tomato extract inhibit nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)-promoted liver cancer. These findings are crucial in order to determine the prevention efficacy of carotenoids in inhibting obesity/high fat diet promoted liver cancer development.

Such is life, I imagine, for many Stanford fans living in Bay Area diaspora, and certainly for us alums here in Georgia, smack in the heart of the self-proclaimed home of "real football," the SEC. But then came along Chase Thomas, a defensive end who set into motion a chain of events that might just change that dynamic entirely.
Thomas probably didn't know he was going to be the start of something bigger when he committed to the Card in December 2007 as part of Jim Harbaugh's first full recruiting class. He was only a three-star prospect to Scout and Rivals, and Scout's No. 81 defensive end in the country. That's not the type of profile you'd expect to generate a major splash, but the competition for Thomas' services was intense.
The Marietta prospect ultimately chose Stanford over offers from LSU, Auburn, Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia Tech and North Carolina, putting the state squarely on notice: Stanford might not play in a "real football" conference, but it could sure recruit right in its backyard. It wasn't just the SEC though: local recruits and fans -- and probably even the Stanford coaching staff itself -- realized that the Card could compete in Georgia, and they could win.
********** ********** **********
Like many of this year's Stanford recruits, Henry Anderson is excited about the Card's recruiting -- and one Georgia commit in particular. Though it's early, the Card are looking on pace, at a minimum, to wrap up their second straight top-20 class, and Anderson said he was excited about the possibility of playing with such a collection of talent.
"I watched Tai-Ler Jones commit the other day – I saw the video on the internet and he seemed excited," Anderson said. "Plus, Chase Thomas went to school in Georgia, and talked to me about his recruiting process [on Anderson's unofficial visit.] It was kind of similar to mine."
The idea of a pipeline, of course, is that past success makes it easier to land future recruits from the same area. If Henry Anderson is any guide, that pipeline appears up and flowing. That Thomas was a fellow Georgian piqued Anderson's interest, and once Thomas had Anderson's ear, he made sure to plug his program.
"He was kind of looking for the same stuff I am – a good academic school, but also a school he could play at and not just sit on the bench for four or five years, and also a good football school," Anderson said of Thomas. "Stanford is on the right track there.
"[Thomas] told me how great Stanford was and said the coaches were awesome. He liked Coach Durkin a lot, and seemed excited with where he was at Stanford."
Indeed, as the only Georgian presently on the roster, Thomas is understandably crucial in recruiting current Peach State targets, like Anderson and safety Daunte Carr, both fellow metro-Atlantans (or, as the local pop stars say, ATLiens). And while Thomas is just finishing his sophomore year, his presence has paid major dividends already.
In 2009, Stanford turned to its Georgia pipeline to sign four-star wide receiver Jamal Rashard Patterson, a centerpiece of one of the nation's most surprising classes. And while it's yet to been seen whether Patterson will live up to fans' lofty expectations once he hits the field, he has already drawn more than his fair share of coverage without playing a single down.
First, Jamal Patterson committed to the Card over Florida, LSU, Michigan, Notre Dame, Alabama and Tennessee, among others. That list garners instant respect anywhere, but especially so in the South. With a single penstroke on National Signing Day, therefore, Patterson brought more local credibility and attention to Stanford football than a team of marketers could hope in a decade's worth of work.
Later that same month, February 2009, Patterson won the Watkins Award, awarded annually to the nation's top African-American student-athlete. Like his commitment, Patterson's award generated additional headlines for Stanford in recruiting circles and major metropolitan newspapers alike.
Patterson, meanwhile, played a central role in landing a recruit of a (slightly) higher profile yet in fellow metro-Atlanta wide receiver Tai-ler Jones. Jones committed to the Card last Thursday over Ohio State, Georgia, Notre Dame and Alabama, among others – in no small part due to Patterson.
"We talk almost every day through text messages or on the phone," Jones said of Patterson. "He's a great guy. He really helped me make my decision, because I'm going to be surrounded by people like him at Stanford, and those are the kind of people that will help me better myself on and off the field. Whether I want them to or not, just their presence is going to make me better. Going to Stanford already knowing and being close to somebody like that will make the transition a lot easier. And he's from Georgia, so we'll both have the same feelings about being 3,000 miles away."
In turn, Jones' announcement set off yet another wave of positive publicity for Stanford football, making it all the more likely for an Anderson or a Carr – Jones' high-school teammate this upcoming season – will continue the westward migration of Peach State talent.
Maintaining this trend in the months and years to come becomes all the more important given that Georgia arguably represents the most fertile recruiting ground in the country. A recent ESPN story ranked Georgia high school football as behind only Texas', California's and Florida's, all states with double Georgia's population, and ahead of the larger (and more hyped) Ohio's and Pennsylvania's.
No one knows the strength of Georgia high school football better than Jones, and he argues that Stanford needs to continue to exploit its Georgia inroads.
"I think it is important, because in order to compete with the bigger teams like Southern Cal, or a team like Florida or Oklahoma that we'd play if we ended up in the National Championship, you're going to need a good number of high-profile athletes," he said. "The staff could turn athletes that are a tier under those high-profile athletes into better athletes, but they could turn those high-profile athletes into great athletes."
Stanford's coaching staff divides its recruiting responsibilities not only by position, but also by geographic region. One coach in particular has Georgia, Florida and Kentucky as his area, and Jones says he is already paying dividends for the Card in the Peach State.
"It's Coach Willie Taggart," Jones said of Stanford's running backs coach, who was raised in Florida before playing quarterback at college in Kentucky. "He contributed a lot. The relationship I developed with him was the best: it's incomparable to any other.
"He gained my trust from day one, when I talked to him on the phone. That's really big, because going 3,000 miles away from home, I'm not going to go home every weekend like some of these other guys. To have that coach to go and talk to -- and maybe be able to go and stay with him and his family to get that at-home feeling -- that's big for me."
Taggart and Stanford's coaching staff have the majority of this year's recruiting class still to sign, but already, one fact is clear: Georgia has played a major role in shaping the immediate future of Stanford football, and its centrality will only increase if the Card are to become consistent winners in the years to come.
