Jessica Alba is InStyle's February cover girl! In this issue, the 31-year-old actress talks about the many new skills she's added to her resume over the years: mother, wife, organic baby food expert, and author among them. A year ago, she launched Honest Company with environmental specialist Christopher Gavigan, in the hopes of educating people on the benefits of healthy, organic products for children. "Creating this company was something I had to do," Alba tells InStyle of the venture, which has already attracted $27 million from investors. "We're completely transparent. All the goods we make are high-performance—and safe—but they're also beautifully designed, so people will be drawn to them, too." In March, Alba puts pen to paper in her first book, The Honest Life, a how-to handbook she co-wrote with Gavigan on filling your home with eco-friendly and safe products. Her role as activist started as her family grew: She has two children—Honor, 4, and Haven, 1—with producer husband Cash Warren, the love of her life. "I just knew when I met him that I was going to know him forever," says Alba. "It was weird; he instantly felt like family. It was so easy. I'd never felt like that with anyone. I was usually pretty self-conscious, minding my p's and q's, very aware of every time my fork hit the plate when I was having dinner on a date. With him, there was none of that. We got each other. We're kindred spirits." For more of our exclusive interview, flip to page 194 of the February issue—or download it on your iPad, Nook, or Droid tablet—on newsstands Friday, January 11.

Prospects get opportunity in split-squad games
PEORIA, Ariz. -- Minor League outfielder Jeremy Baltz, a second-round Draft pick in 2012, has been in Arizona for a week, participating in the team's annual prospect mini-camp.
But instead of another day filled with drills, Baltz got a huge surprise when he arrived at his locker on Wednesday.
Hanging inside Baltz's locker was a Padres' jersey; a big league jersey, one intended to be worn during Cactus League games here.
"I didn't know what that meant," Baltz said.
Baltz and a handful of Minor League prospects suited up for a pair of split-squad games Wednesday, and some of them played in games against the A's in Phoenix and Rockies in Peoria.
One of those players was Baltz, who made a nice running catch in left field in the very first inning after he was inserted into the game.
"I was nervous. My stomach had butterflies all day," Baltz said. "It was a great experience. Hopefully it will happen again."
Baltz, outfielders Travis Jankowski, Rico Noel and infielders Cory Spangenberg and Jace Peterson played in the loss to the Rockies.
Jankowski, who was the 44th overall selection in 2012, got a hit in his first at-bat, beating out an infield single against Rockies reliever Miguel Batista, 42, who is twice the age of Jankowski.
He didn't stay at first base long, as he promptly stole second base. He also struck out in his second at-bat of the game. Results aside, Jankowski was just happy to play.
"Around the fifth inning, the coaches told me to start warming up," Jankowski said. "But for the first couple of innings, I thought it might be a day to take it all in from the dugout."
On Thursday, Jankowski and the rest of his Minor League teammates were back in mini-camp, working on drills on the back fields, far from the Peoria Sports Complex. There's a chance manager Bud Black might use them again this spring, especially with a longer spring because of the World Baseball Classic.
"That was the first time I've been on the field since September seeing live pitching," Jankowski said. "It was a great atmosphere and I learned a lot from it. I guess there's no better time to do it than with the big leaguers."

Cancer sufferer James Shadwell is hoping to achieve his challenge of completing the Bath Men's Walk tomorrow to raise money for Dorothy House Hospice.
Mr Shadwell, 32, was diagnosed with lung cancer in May 2013 and has had chemotherapy at Royal United Hospital in Bath every three weeks since then.
He will take part in the Bath Men's Walk, during which fundraisers walk eight miles starting from Dorothy House Hospice in Winsley at 1pm.
The finish line for the walkers is at Bath's Recreation Ground, where they will be rewarded with a pie and pint and get the opportunity to watch the Six Nations clash between France and England on a big screen.
The event, open to men and boys aged 12 or over, is in its second year and raises money for Dorothy House and Bath Rugby Foundation.
Mr Shadwell, a father-of-one from Fulfor Road, Trowbridge, said: "I decided to take part in November when I saw it on the Dorothy House website.
"It was the challenge of being able to do it, but also being able to support Dorothy House as a thank-you because they have supported me."
The hospice has provided him with support since June 2013, with nurse visits, physiotherapy and counselling.
He added: "The work they do is invaluable.
"In terms of non-clinical it is the most important support I have had."
Mr Shadwell, who worked at Clear Vision Accountancy Group in Corsham, will be joined by a group of 14 friends and family on the day.
"He has walked several sections of the canal in preparation for the event, but has yet to complete the whole eight miles.
He said: "I hope to be able to do it, but the key thing is to raise as much money as we can."
Mr Shadwell and his fundraising team has already raised almost £2,000 for the hospice and hope that figure will keep on rising.

In this month's dba q&a, executives from a number of these optical groups describe the economic conditions that are having an impact on their business plans for 2013, and they also predict how the impending full implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is likely to affect their plans for the upcoming year. Also, the newest Transitions Regional Retailer of the Year, SVS Vision Optical Centers, describes the steps it took to achieve the success that brought it this honor. In addition, Brad McCorkle of Local Eye Site covers online recruitment in the "In Your Employ" section. Regular dba contributor, Jay Binkowitz, optometric business consultant and president/CEO of GPN, exclusive provider of business software solution The EDGE, details how to increase practice revenue by lens bundling in conjunction with vision care plans. ■ Latest Statistics Show Optical Chains' Lens and Frame Sales Both on the Rise ALEXANDRIA, Va.—Optical chains' share of lens and frame sales have held steady at around 28 percent over the past three years, according to the latest VisionWatch Consumer Barometer conducted by The Vision Council, as illustrated by the bar graphs below. However, in absolute numbers, optical chains' lens sales have increased 10.1 percent for the 12 months ending September 2012 compared to the 12 months ending September 2011, while optical chains' frame sales increased 3.6 percent for the same time period, despite a somewhat anemic U.S. economy and sluggish job growth. Also during the same time period, revenues increased 6 percent from $32.5 billion to $34.5 billion for the total U.S. vision care market, which, in addition to lenses and frames, also includes contact lenses, sunglasses, readers, exams and refractive surgery. ■

Product Description
It's easier than ever to get a dehydrator that suits your family's needs. Excalibur makes a number of different models to suit your lifestyle whether you have an entire family to feed or just yourself.
Dehydrating with Excalibur is safe, with dark doors to avoid nutrition loss from light.
So how do you choose which dehydrator to buy?
Size is obviously one of the first factors to consider. If you have a small family or are single, you might want to consider getting a five-tray model. The 5-tray options we offer are the Excalibur 2500 or 3500 in white or black. If you're feeding several kids or really love dehydrated snacks, the 2900 or 3900 models with nine trays will probably be a better fit. The 2500 and 2900 are economy models, meaning that while they are still high quality, they aren't as "top of the line" as the deluxe series 3500 and 3900. The deluxe series dehydrators come with ten year as opposed to five year warranties and and have sturdier motors and upgraded materials. If you want a dehydrator that will last for a very long time, you may want to consider investing in a deluxe series. The deluxe series models also come with a free book on preserving food through dehydration which is shown here.
You will need to contact Excalibur directly for defective merchandise or warranty repair. In the event that you do have a defective product, you MUST have a receipt from the dealer showing the date of purchase and Model number- warranties are not transferable.
All dehydrators ship M – F excluding holidays.

Topic: Good News for my husband Charlie
Charlie and I went to UNC Hospital on Wed. for appointment with his oncologist after left lobectomy 3 weeks ago. He is doing well, although I had been worried about his energy, his color, really everything. Dr. Sanoff reassured us or me that was normal after the surgery. He will improve. It may take 6 months or longer for him to return to feeling like he did before he got sick. She wants him to come back every 3 months for an MRI. As of now, she thinks he has no cancer that anyone is aware of. That being said, we talked about the line between reality and hope. We can't just sit around waiting for the cancer to pop up again as I'm sure so many people here have learned. He is still very tired, but we're so thankful he's passed his 6 month mark they gave him to start with and he'll be with us longer. We'll be meeting with Dr. Blackstock at Baptist here in W-S who she recommended to get more information about radiation treatment. She said Charlie's margins were clear after surgery, which was very good. There's not enough data available for her to say she would recommend radiation after surgery or not. If Charlie does have radiation, he can get it done closer to home as it will be every day for a while. Again, we'll have to find out as much as we can and try to make the decision that will work for him. Please share your thoughts on radiation after surgery if anyone can.
I listened to Kris and copied this from another post to put under Good News. Our family and Charlie have been truly blessed. I pray every day for everyone on this site.

|June 2011
|Primary Completion Date:
|June 2011 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: Testing, Education, & Counseling (TEC)
HIV and hepatitis screening is done on-site, but vaccination and medical care will be provided by off-site referral. HIV and Hepatitis, Testing, Education, & Counseling (TEC) participants will receive standard HIV and hepatitis education & counseling. TEC participants will not receive case management services.
Behavioral: Testing, Education, & Counseling (TEC)
Trained research staff will provide a two-session HIV/hepatitis education class. Participants will also be offered serological testing for hepatitis A, B and C, and HIV (optional), and off-site referrals for vaccination and hepatitis care. The content of the TEC intervention is evidence based. The TEC condition is comparable to screening and education methods commonly used in many drug treatment settings. Those in the TEC intervention group who do not adhere to needed off site vaccinations will be offered on site vaccination 30 days after vaccination referral.
Experimental: Hepatitis Care Coordination (HCC)
Participants will receive on-site HIV and viral hepatitis screening. Hepatitis A and B combination vaccination will be provided on-site. Participants will receive on-site theory-based HIV and hepatitis education, counseling, and 6 months of case management to promote adherence to HIV and HCV evaluation.
Behavioral: Hepatitis Care Coordination (HCC)
HCC Participants will be offered serological testing and counseling for hepatitis A, B and C, and HIV (optional). HCC participants will be offered on-site hepatitis A and B combination vaccination at the methadone clinic. They will also receive a two-session HIV/hepatitis education class with Motivational Interviewing. In addition, participants will receive 6 months of weekly case management to facilitate entry into hepatitis care.
Detailed Description:
In the HCC model, HIV and hepatitis screening, and HAV and HBV vaccination will be done on site and participants receive on site theory-based HIV and hepatitis education, counseling, and case management to promote adherence to HIV and HCV evaluation; in TEC hepatitis screening is done on site, but vaccination and medical care will be provided by off site referral. Primary aims are to assess the impact of the HCC intervention on adherence to hepatitis A virus (HAV) and hepatitis B virus (HBV) vaccination and attendance at an initial appointment with an HIV and/or HCV care provider. Secondary aims include examining intervention effects on HIV and hepatitis knowledge, risky behaviors, alcohol use; follow-up with later stages of HIV and hepatitis C care; to identify psychological mediators of intervention outcomes; and to estimate the incremental cost of the HCC intervention to facilitate fuller economic evaluations of the intervention if proven effective.

text: Despite recusal, Morrisey met with drug firm about lawsuit By Eric Eyre October 12, 2013 Story Share File photo W.Va. Attorney General Patrick Morrisey CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey was overseeing his office's lawsuit against an Ohio drug company earlier this year while a Washington, D.C., lobbying group owned by Morrisey's wife collected $210,000 from the same drug distributor, records show.Morrisey also has accepted $3,500 in contributions from the company and its executives since defeating former attorney general Darrell McGraw in the November 2012 election.Morrisey held a meeting with Cardinal Health executives and the company's lawyer about the lawsuit in May and fielded correspondence about the case in late June, according to documents obtained by the Sunday Gazette-Mail.In previous prepared statements, Morrisey has said he recused himself from the Cardinal Health lawsuit, which alleges that the company helped fuel Southern West Virginia's problem with prescription drug abuse by shipping excessive numbers of pain pills to the region. Morrisey has said he stepped aside from the case "earlier this year" and that his chief deputy, Dan Greear, has managed the case "since the beginning of the year."On May 22, however, Morrisey and Greear met privately with two Cardinal Health executives and the drug company's Charleston lawyer, Mark Carter, who also led Morrisey's campaign transition team, records show. A Cardinal Health vice president gave a PowerPoint presentation about steps the company has taken to prevent drugs from being diverted for illegal use.The meeting didn't include the Attorney General Office's outside counsel - Charleston lawyer Jim Cagle - who was hired by the office to represent the state in the Cardinal Health lawsuit.On June 21, Carter had a letter hand-delivered to Morrisey about the attorney general's lawsuit against Cardinal Health.Carter's letter gives no indication that Morrisey stepped aside from the Cardinal Health lawsuit.Carter sent the letter directly to Morrisey. The header says, "Re: State of West Virginia, Patrick Morrisey v. Cardinal Health," and references the lawsuit case number in Boone County Circuit Court. It starts, "Dear General Morrisey."The letter includes a copy of the May 22 PowerPoint presentation, the company's "standard operating procedures," several U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration reports and congressional testimony from the CEO of the Healthcare Distribution Management Association, an Arlington, Va., trade group that represents drug wholesalers.Morrisey formerly lobbied for the trade group, generating $250,000 for his Washington, D.C.-based law firm over 16 months.In the letter, Carter also promised that Cardinal Health would later disclose its "return policies" - presumably for unused and unopened prescription drugs returned to the company's distribution center. Morrisey requested the policies, according to the letter.Carter asked for a follow-up meeting with Morrisey."We trust this information will be helpful to you, and we likewise expect that you will have additional questions regarding these materials," Carter wrote to Morrisey. Morrisey and Greear also met privately with Carter on March 6, but Morrisey would not say what the meeting was about. Morrisey's office recently acknowledged the meetings and released Carter's letter in response to a Gazette-Mail request under the state's Freedom of Information Act.Last week, Morrisey would not answer specific questions about his meeting with Carter and Cardinal Health executives and, instead, his office released a statement."The attorney general has taken very positive and proactive steps to voluntarily step aside from this case when he was not required to do so," said Beth Ryan, a Morrisey spokeswoman. "Our office continues to litigate this matter. We have no further comment."The Gazette-Mail also has requested emails exchanged by Morrisey's office and Cardinal Health lawyers. Morrisey has refused to release any additional documents, saying "if they exist" he could withhold the records from the public.Morrisey received June update on Cardinal Health lawsuitMcGraw filed suit against Cardinal Health in June 2012, alleging that the company profited from Southern West Virginia's pain-pill "epidemic." Morrisey inherited the lawsuit when he took office on Jan. 14 of this year. In late July, Morrisey announced that he had stepped aside from the Cardinal Health lawsuit after the Gazette-Mail revealed that the pain-pill distributor contributed $2,500 to Morrisey's inauguration, and that Morrisey's wife, Denise Henry, lobbied for Cardinal Health. The drug company paid Henry's lobbying firm, Capitol Counsel, $400,000 last year, and another $210,00 between January and June 30, according to lobbying disclosure forms. Since 2001, Cardinal Health has paid $3.7 million to lobbying firms that Henry has worked for or owned.Meanwhile, Cardinal Health executives donated $4,000 to Morrisey's campaign last year, $3,000 of which came after McGraw's office filed suit against the company. A company vice president also contributed $1,000 to Morrisey's campaign last December, a month after he defeated McGraw. Morrisey is holding post-election fundraisers to help retire his campaign debt.In his statement last July, Morrisey indicated that his wife's long-time lobbying work for Cardinal Health and the company's campaign contributions didn't prompt his decision to step down from the lawsuit.Morrisey cited another reason: He alleged that McGraw "implied" to him at a parade last year that McGraw filed the Cardinal Health lawsuit to retaliate against Morrisey's campaign."While McGraw's statements disturbed me greatly and led me to believe that at least some part of that case was politically motivated, after I took office I decided that, not withstanding McGraw's comments, West Virginians deserved the case to be decided on the merits," Morrisey said in July."While not required under the law, because of McGraw's ethically problematic comments, earlier this year, I recused myself from the litigation as it pertains to Cardinal Health," Morrisey went on. "My chief counsel, Dan Greear, has been managing the special assistant attorneys general [outside counsel] since the beginning of the year."McGraw has said he never talked with Morrisey about the Cardinal Health case.The Gazette-Mail later requested documents about Morrisey's decision to distance himself from the Cardinal Health lawsuit. Morrisey responded that he recused himself "orally" -- not in writing.On Sept. 16, weeks after The Charleston Gazette reported on Morrisey's ties to Cardinal Health, Carter met with Greear, but Morrisey did not attend that meeting.In a commentary published in the Charleston Daily Mail days earlier, Morrisey disclosed that he had attended meetings with Cardinal Health representatives about "prescription drug strategies," but he provided no details. The commentary followed a Gazette Freedom of Information Act request for information about his meetings with Cardinal Health lawyers.Morrisey 'has been very open' about meetings on drug abuse The lawsuit alleges the drug wholesaler distributed powerful painkillers, such as hydrocodone, to "pill mill" pharmacies and doctors in Southern West Virginia. Doctors prescribed the drugs and pharmacies dispensed them for illegal use, according to the lawsuit.Last year, the DEA suspended Cardinal Health's federal license to distribute controlled substances from its Florida warehouse on charges that the company allowed pharmacies to purchase excessive amounts of painkillers.It wasn't the first time the company has been in trouble with federal authorities. In 2008, Cardinal Health paid a $34 million fine after the DEA cited the company's Lakeland, Fla., distribution center for failing to notice suspicious orders for the hydrocodone.After McGraw filed suit against Cardinal Health last year, the company hired former U.S. Senator Carte Goodwin as its attorney.In April, Cardinal Health abruptly discharged Goodwin and replaced him with Carter, who's politically tied to Morrisey.After winning the election, Morrisey named Carter co-chairman of his 26-member transition team "steering committee," a group set up to "offer perspectives on strategies and approaches for managing the West Virginia Attorney General's Office," according to a news release at the time.Carter gave $500 to Morrisey's campaign in September 2012, and $75 to the attorney general's inaugural party fund in January, records show. Carter did not respond to a request for comment last week.In the statement released by Morrisey's office last week, Ryan said, "The state's battle with drug abuse is one of our office's most important consumer protection initiatives."A health-care group recently released a report that found West Virginia has the highest drug-overdose rate in the nation. Cardinal Health is the nation's second-largest drug distributor."Attorney General Morrisey has been very open about the fact he has had discussions and meetings with many individuals and companies about efforts already underway, as well as steps we as a state can take to tackle West Virginia's drug epidemic," Ryan said. "West Virginia has a very serious crisis on its hands when it comes to overdose deaths from prescription drugs."Reach Eric Eyre at email@example.com or 304-348-4869.

(and making it look spotless for website photos and showings takes a lot of time!)
(All of these photos were taken as soon as the realtor finished taking his photos for the listing website... no baby gates, toys, or clutter to be found!)
(the toilet has since been child-proofed!)
But now he loves to flush it... sigh.
My poor sewing space has been reduced to this... but still usable, and my projects are tucked away in boxes in the next room, so I'm ok with it. I kind of like it all neat and tidy... see that rainbow quilt on my cutting table? Its going to get quilted tonight! *huge grin*
... AFTER Eli is in bed!
Anyone have fun tips for making showings super special? I always make sure there are fresh flowers out, and a treat on the kitchen counter. What else can I do?
We've had 3 showings in the last 2 weeks. I consider that progress in a market like this!

Local etiquette expert Karen Hickman answers your questions or helps solve your dilemmas on Fridays in The News-Sentinel and at www.news-sentinel.com.
Q.: Karen, I am a police officer (not in Indiana) with a great partner. However, he has terrible body odor. Some days, it is a little overpowering in the car. Of course, there are days when we have had to do a lot of physical work, like searching old, dirty, hot houses, that we both need a shower, but he starts the day smelling bad. What is the best way to handle this situation? Is it rude for me to tell him how he smells?
A.: Telling someone that they have an issue with their personal hygiene, or lack there of, is always tricky, but sometimes these issues need to be addressed, especially if it is interfering with your comfort, day in and day out. And, in the end, you may be doing the man a big favor.
You could flip it to your human resources department (sorry, HR departments) or a supervisor, but if you have a good relationship with your partner, it may be better to address the issue yourself. He may get more offended hearing it secondhand instead of from you. So, I would politely tell the man he has body odor and he may need to pay more attention to using deodorant and/or washing his clothes.
The American culture is known and sometimes mocked for our attention to personal cleanliness. Personally, I don't find that a negative. But other cultures and some individuals don't pay as much attention to personal hygiene as most Americans do.
It's not enough to bathe daily and use deodorant; we need to change our clothes regularly. Putting on the same shirt from the day before after you have chased someone down the street in a dead run is not a good idea, even if you have showered and used deodorant.
Most people, especially in the summer, need to change the clothes closest to their body every day. Outer garments, like blazers and jackets, don't always get as soiled as our shirts. But it is important to check.
Here are some tips we all need to pay attention to so we don't offend our co-workers and our friends who are close:
•Shower daily and use deodorant. In the heat of summer or after working out, some people may need to bathe or shower more than once a day, especially if you are going out in the evening.
•Change your shirt daily. If you find yourself questioning whether you can wear something twice, don't wear it. When in doubt, leave it in the dirty clothes.
•Wear an undershirt. It will wick up some of the perspiration.
•Have an extra clean shirt handy at work. If you find you have broken through your deodorant, you can make a quick change. And keep some deodorant in your desk drawer for a refresh under your arms.
•Do the sniff test. If you are not sure how you smell, find a private place and take a sniff of your under arms. You may get a surprise.
•Be attentive to your clothes in the winter months, too. We usually wear wool clothes more than once before having them cleaned, but underarm smells can linger in wool sweaters and become noticeable when you get into a warm room and bodies heat up. Again, do the sniff test.
•Ask for help if you have a limited sense of smell, or you are not sure about how something smells. Better to be safe than offensive.
A little extra attention to your personal hygiene goes a long way – for everyone.

Pancreatic Cancer
Pancreatic cancer
Thanks for your response from my earlier question. I have read of many cases where CT scans missed pancreatic cancer. Mine was a 64 slice scan done at CPMC.
Since my ca 19 was elevated in Sept do you think in a 5 month span if there were pancreatic cancer that it would have shown in the CT? I imagine within 5 months it would have grown big enough to see?
My back has been hurting for a couple days on and off, I am getting odd sharp pains, my left upper ab still has pains,food makes my stomach hurt and I am exhausted. I know of a couple people dx in their 30s so while not common, I know it can happen.
Thanks again for your response, truely appreciate your opinion.
Yes, this would be enough time for a change to appear in the CT scan. To make yourself feel better, go ahead and get an EUS. A negative EUS and CT should make you feel more better.

I for one would have no problem competing against a player who putted that way. I don't see it as an advantage for the taller players. Certainly no more than the advantages they have now (more options to throw over bushes, etc.).

Cleveland's Nutrition Intervention
> Bringing food that's good to the neighborhood.
"We have a culture of fast food and immediate gratification ... Some of our cooking customs involve a lot of saturated fat, grease and salt. Changing how we prepare our food has to be an integral part of the plan."
They're flush with fast food joints and minimarts selling high-calorie convenience foods. But these same Cleveland neighborhoods that offer easy access to cheap, quick-fix edibles have been dubbed "food deserts" because they're barren of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean meats. In these communities, where grab-and-go meals are plentiful and the nearest full-service grocery store can be miles away, Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine is working to make nutritious choices available.
"Teaching people that adding fruits and vegetables to your diet could improve your health is certainly important," says Jessica Kelley-Moore, PhD, a Case Western Reserve associate professor of sociology and principal investigator on a new research project to bring healthy food to Greater Cleveland neighborhoods. "But realistically, this education has limited usefulness when Doritos and donuts are available to you, but apples and carrots are out of reach."
To lay the groundwork for bringing a more healthful diet within reach of urban Cleveland's residents, the School of Medicine, with its partners in the university and the larger Cleveland community, has already participated in fruitful precursor projects. But it is the school's fresh win in a competitive bid for Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) funds that will support sustained gains for Cleveland's neighborhoods in need. As part of its far-reaching "Increasing Access to Healthy Foods in Urban Neighborhoods" study, researchers will canopy some urban Cleveland communities with healthy food options—while winning over residents to wholesome eating habits. "Our goal is to change the total food environment in Cleveland neighborhoods, cutting across the components that have been the focus of previous efforts," explains Elaine Borawski, PhD, associate professor of epidemiology and biostatistics, and co-investigator on the research project.
Impetus for Change: Neighbors in Need
By many measures, Clevelanders have long been in dire need of a nutrition intervention. One indication: More than two-thirds of Cleveland adults fall short of five servings of fruits and vegetables per day, according to city data from the 2005 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System. "What this portends," laments Terry Allan, health commissioner for Ohio's populous Cuyahoga County, "is increasing rates of early-onset type 2 diabetes, heart disease and a whole range of other chronic illnesses."
Recently, inner-city residents, working with the public health community, have initiated interventions to reverse the scarcity of healthy food and resulting threats to health. Says Allan, "From my point of view, it's a matter of health equity: In a country like America, we have a responsibility to help create conditions in which people can be healthy."
To help reduce the chronic disease burden of Cleveland's residents, Case Western Reserve's large-scale effort will help to bring healthy foods to the places in underserved communities where people make their food choices—at corner stores and schools, for example. "The university is clearly interested in reaching out to those who are most disadvantaged," Allan says. "To me, that's a great demonstration of community commitment."
The commitment to improving health through nutrition is one that First Lady Michelle Obama is championing at a national level. At the February 2010 launch of her "Let's Move" campaign against childhood obesity, Obama remarked that 23.5 million Americans live in food deserts. "So let's move to ensure that all our families have access to healthy, affordable food in their communities," she encouraged.
Corner Stores as Cornerstone
Early Case Western Reserve-led efforts to bring healthful food alternatives to Cleveland residents focused on persuading and helping the owners of several local corner stores to stock nutritious items alongside those that are nutritionally inadequate. Based in Case Western Reserve School of Medicine's Center for Health Promotion Research, the "Cleveland Corner Store Project" was a community collaboration involving the university, the City of Cleveland Public Health Department, the Ohio State University Extension (OSUE), the Healthy Corner Stores Network and other partners. The project's simple slogan: Healthy Food, Healthy Neighborhoods.
The project confirmed by surveys that Cleveland's small corner stores often substitute for much larger supermarkets and, for some, are the main game in town for food purchasing. In one Cleveland Corner Store Project survey, 85 percent of respondents reported shopping at these small shops at least once a week. Customers were eager to see a larger selection in these stores, including fresh fruits and vegetables—according to Case Western Reserve research.
School-aged children, too, frequent the corner stores, Kelley-Moore and her research colleagues found. "Most children walk to school in Cleveland, going right past these corner stores, often purchasing soda, chips and candy," she says. "The proximity of these corner stores to schools makes them ideal for intervention—and expanding the healthy food choices available."
Many kids are willing to give healthy food choices a chance, according to Lauren Melnick, a registered dietician with OSUE. "Kids in school said 'I would eat an apple if it were available at my corner store,'" Melnick says. "But too often all they have is food that's high in fat and high in sugar."
The Corner Store Project recruited shop owners willing to offer an array of healthier food options, and then tested approaches—such as live cooking demonstrations, healthy food kiosks and signs around the neighborhood promoting participating stores—for enticing residents to buy the new, better-for-them foods. "Take down your tobacco posters, and here's some advertising for your store's healthier fruits and vegetables" was one trade that was offered to owners, explains Matt Russell, the project's coordinator, who now works at the U.S. Department of Agriculture on its national healthier eating initiative. "We were reducing alcohol and tobacco signage and replacing it with CDC messages such as the positive 'More Matters' materials encouraging a diet higher in fruits and vegetables."
As part of her "Let's Move" campaign, Michelle Obama has recently announced her own plans for a similar effort in underserved communities to "help places like convenience stores carry healthier food options." The corner store pilot project demonstrated that such a feat is feasible, despite store owners' initial hesitations such as produce spoilage and extra labor expenses. Attests Anne Gross, a Cleveland corner store owner who participated in the Corner Store Project, "It's been a benefit to me as a business person because we picked up on sales we didn't have before."
But the best payback, says 66-year-old Gross: "Personally, it's good to see young people that come in and pick up an orange where before all they got was candy. And the elderly people in the community can get bananas, for the potassium they need, much more easily now." Gross has seen an increase in produce sales and says she expects to continue selling healthier foods such as apples, oranges, pears, grapes and broccoli alongside the snacks and soda. In fact, some of these healthy alternatives have earned a place in "the most expensive real estate in the store," she says—right by the register.
Local Stores to the Larger Community
The pilot Cleveland Corner Store Project, completed in the summer of 2009, served as valuable evidence of Cleveland's readiness for change, but addressing the daunting problem of food desert neighborhoods would require broad-scale follow-through. To support expanded efforts in this and other areas of neighborhood health, the School of Medicine went after and won a prized grant from the CDC to launch the Case Western Reserve University Prevention Research Center for Healthy Neighborhoods (PRCHN).
"Increasing Access to Healthy Foods in Urban Neighborhoods" is the first major research effort—the core project—for the PRCHN. "The kick-off project takes aim at the problem of poor nutrition and its adverse health effects, which disproportionately plague those in underserved urban communities," says Borawski, who is director of the School of Medicine's Center for Health Promotion Research and co-director and principal investigator of the PRCHN.
Of the scope of the new project, Kelley-Moore, says, "Multiply the corner store project by four. Add schools, community gardens and community centers as points of impact with corner stores, and you have an idea of the promise of this Healthy Neighborhoods core project."
The project is not inventing new kinds of food access programming, but leveraging existing community resources and putting proven strategies to simultaneous use in a concentrated, coordinated effort. Some approaches were validated during the Steps to a Healthier Cleveland collaboration—a predecessor program aimed at encouraging Cleveland residents to make healthier lifestyle choices—while others were shown effective in various endeavors around the country.
The project will work with four disadvantaged and underserved neighborhoods in Greater Cleveland—areas that not only lack healthy food options, but also show potential for community collaboration for change. Two have been selected for the first round: Central and suburban East Cleveland in Cuyahoga County. Two more will be selected in consultation with the community in the coming year. The neighborhoods were selected because of their economic disadvantage, but they vary in terms of their specific food environment needs. Some neighborhoods have significant numbers of fast food restaurants and others have to rely on corner stores as primary food sources.
In each of the four communities, a neighborhood working group made up of researchers, community partners and residents will coordinate healthy food programs at four types of neighborhood venues: schools with students in kindergarten to 8th grade, food retail stores, community gardens and community centers.
In all four neighborhoods, common concepts will be applied: increase in healthy food availability, nutrition education, marketing strategies and a community-designed tactic.
Increase in Healthy Food Availability
This component—led by partner Ohio State University Extension—will aim for such improvements as the expansion of salutary selections at corner stores, the addition of good-for-you snacks such as granola bars in school vending machines and more choices in school lunches and senior food programs. The project also plans to increase the number of community gardens in the areas and the number of gardeners in existing gardens.
"Cleveland has one of the strongest community gardening programs in the country," says Punam Ohri-Vachaspati, PhD, RD, an assistant professor with Rutgers University's Center for State Health Policy and core project co-investigator. Research has shown that a vast majority of those who planted fruits and vegetables under Cleveland's community garden programs consumed at least five servings of fruits and vegetables a day, both during the harvest and lean seasons. What's more, says Ohri-Vachaspati, "most gardeners shared their produce with other members of the community and with their church and other institutions."
Mark McClain, who helped start a community garden in his East Cleveland neighborhood four years ago, saw a definite change in his eating habits. "I used to spend most of the time in the grocery store in the meat section," he says. "Now, I spend practically all of my time in the produce section. Growing my own food gave me a better appreciation for fruits and vegetables."
Nutrition Education
Making healthy food items available is just part of the equation in increasing access to healthy foods. Critical, too: educating consumers about the benefits of proper food selection and preparation, and safe storage.
"It's going to take a regearing of our habits," says McClain. "We have a culture of fast food and immediate gratification. To make this work, we need not only access to healthy food, but we need to be sure people know how to prepare it in a healthy way—because some of our cooking customs involve a lot of saturated fat, grease and salt. Changing how we prepare our food has to be an integral part of the plan."
The program will use proven education and training approaches to teach community members about nutrition, food purchases and food preparation. The schools, for example, may use the "Nutrition in the Garden" curriculum that teaches kids about how, and why, to make healthier food choices. Additional teaching tools will likely include lessons on food and cooking for adults and children alike, and live cooking demonstrations at community gardens and retail stores.
Marketing Strategies
To improve people's diets, efforts have to go beyond making healthful foods available, and make them alluring to residents who have gotten used to pre-packaged, high-calorie fare. "Why do McDonald's and Burger King spend money on marketing? Because it works," Allan says. "Public health is getting into the marketing game like private industry has for so long, because where there's a market, there can be profit and an incentive for businesses to carry the product." The marketing component, to be designed in collaboration with each neighborhood's residents, will provide consistent food messages such as produce ads in store windows, school mailings for parents, and posters and banners at community centers.
Community-Designed Tactic
A fourth strategy will be specific to each of the four neighborhoods and selected by those who know the community best: its residents.
Residents are crucial partners in every aspect of the "Increasing Access" project, Kelley- Moore stresses, and figure prominently, along with community leaders, in neighborhood working groups that identify opportunities for, and barriers to, healthy food access in the community. "In our research, which is based on the principles of community-based participatory research, everyone has an equal voice at the table," says Kelley-Moore. "It would be presumptuous of us to say, 'We, as researchers, are coming in and fixing the problems in your community.'"
An additional gain of this project is that the neighborhood working groups will build residents' skills so they can sustain gains in nutritious food availability, and can apply these skills to address other challenges in their neighborhoods. "We're empowering residents to work directly with community organizations," says Kelley-Moore. "Our multidimensional design is expected to achieve changes—broad improvements that apply to food that children get in school, that families buy in their local stores and that growers produce in local gardens—but we also want the reversals in food scarcity to be sustainable."

Tom Wheeler, Melvin Watt nominated to head agencies
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama on Wednesday tapped a veteran Democratic congressman to lead the Federal Housing Finance Agency and a top fundraiser and former lobbyist to head up the Federal Communications Commission.
Rep. Melvin Watt, D-N.C., would oversee federal mortgage lenders Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Introducing his nominees at the White House, Obama noted the Charlotte-area congressman's 20 years of service on the House committee that oversees federal housing policy. He said Watt has led efforts to rein in unscrupulous mortgage lenders, protect consumers from the kind of risk-taking that led to the 2008 financial crisis and has fought to increase access to affordable housing.
"Mel understands as well as anybody what caused the housing crisis," Obama said. "He knows what it's going to take to help responsible homeowners fully recover."
Tom Wheeler would become the nation's top telecommunications regulator. He is a former head of the Cellular Telecommunications and Internet Association, and the National Cable Television Association, and has been a venture capitalist since 2005. He raised more than $500,000 for Obama's re-election, according to data the campaign provided.
Obama said Wheeler, for more than 30 years, has been at the forefront of dramatic changes in the way people communicate.
"He's like the Jim Brown of telecom, or the Bo Jackson of telecom," Obama joked, comparing Wheeler to the two former professional athletes. "So Tom knows this stuff inside and out."
Senate confirmation is required for both regulatory posts.

"I have some of that type of yarn left from another project and it's even the same color! I will have to look for something to decorate the wreath with, though. Maybe a small spray of fall bouquet materials from the back yard or some plastic flowers. This should be easy to make!"
"This is such a creative idea that opens a whole new world of baskets and decorating. Instead of burlap, why not use favorite prints or solid colors of material? Or wide ribbon? Or lace! I could have so much fun with this. I have seen small baskets that would be cool to do this way then fill with small items for a gift or to hold things in a guest bath or bedroom."
"These lanterns are a great idea for Halloween. I have the jars and mod podge, so I need to pick up the tissue paper. I plan on making three and displaying them together to celebrate October. Thanks for the cute idea that is so much easier than carving a real pumpkin."
"Wow, these are so cute, and they are no-sew! I can make them. I'm heading to the re-sale shop to look for some cheap sweaters in fall patterns or colors. How nice, I don't have to worry what size they are. I love the blue one in the photo. I'm into making my fall decor in shades of blue this year."
"I am torn between making my pumpkins gold with gold glitter, or bright colors with silver glitter. I think I will make both, then display them in different parts of my house. I think a turquoise pumpkin and a hot pink pumpkin with silver glitter will be beautiful! Fall decor is fun, and who says it has to be traditional colors!"

Same damn play every time. Adjust the defense!
Attack the rim more ladies. Jumpers aren't winning us this game.
This is taking years off my life. The Fever can't even make layups right now and the Lynx are scoring on every possession.
Earlier the Fever were up by 9 and missed three straight layups. I just can't get that out of my head.
Good to see Pat Summit at the game.
So many missed bunnies...
Camera just scrolled by Paul George in the crowd... Nice little run here near the end of the half!
Take me out to the black, tell 'em I ain't coming back. Burn the land and boil the sea, you can't take the sky from me.
Catch knows what needs to be done. Let's see if they can make it happen.
Catchings will have to come out like a gangbuster in the second half and earn this. The rest of the team looks scared to death since the Lynx pulled back.
Way too many easy misses. Fatigue?
Who is gonna get a burst of adrenaline first...that team will win this game.
Catch is a beast...ress.
Whew. 10 minutes from a championship.
Take me out to the black, tell 'em I ain't coming back. Burn the land and boil the sea, you can't take the sky from me.
Held serve for the quarter. 10 minutes to go...
Please get Davenport out of the game....she is absolutely killing the Fever right now.
January is great
Catch just holy crap
Catch! Saying get on my shoulders!
She was not set. Left leg was moving
YES!! Just 5 minutes to go.
Take me out to the black, tell 'em I ain't coming back. Burn the land and boil the sea, you can't take the sky from me.
So glad Davenport is out. Dunn has been strong with her decisions this postseason but leaving her in so long was dumb.
Wooooo, Zellous! Big time shot!
This team has championship poise for sure.

A STUDENT running a cannabis farm to raise money to pay off his debts has been warned he is facing jail.
Mitch Thomas was arrested after police raided a house in Eastern Avenue on the morning of Monday, September 16.
Inside they found 140 cannabis plants in several rooms which had been set up for producing the drug.
It is thought that had all the plants grown to maturity the crop could have raised about £50,000 if sold in street deals.
The 29-year-old, who was living at the premises as he cared for the plants, also admitted stealing electricity.
Thomas, now of Lyncombe Hill, Bath, pleaded guilty to producing cannabis and abstracting electricity when he appeared at Swindon Crown Court.
Robin Shellard, defending, said: "He was a student and he had substantial debts. "He was persuaded by a friend of a friend to look after the plants, a hydroponics set up, by another person.
"The electricity was abstracted by the other person. He did so in the hope of payment for the sale of cannabis to pay off his debts."
He said his client had no previous convictions and asked for a pre- sentence report to be compiled on him.
Judge Tim Mousley QC adjourned the case to Friday, February 7 to give the probation service time to see him. He was released on bail until then.
But he said: "Although I am granting bail you should not read that as any indication that there will not be an immediate prison sentence. Do you understand that?
"All sentencing options will be open to the judge that sentences you and that includes a custodial sentence."
Following the raid Inspector Joseph Saunders from East Swindon Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: "This set up was done with the clear intent to maximise profits from the sale of cannabis on a large scale.
"It is of particular concern that the location is so close to a play area and a school. "The cultivation of cannabis on any scale is a criminal offence.
"Those responsible are looking to make as much money as they can regardless of the impact on the community."

I am Tom . I am from Israel. I am buddhist . An israeli buddhist. Yes yes the jewish state has a growing population of the followers of the Buddha . The buddhist religion has become popular amongst the israeli jews , and i'm proud to be a part of it and teach others about it .
I started loving this religion ever since I read a book about Buddhism by the university of Oxford . I realized this is the one true religion because it teaches us the true meaning of life instead of dependence on a "supreme entity" aka God . The true divinity is to be good to others , be happy and satisfied , not to blindly worship someone you can't even see. Instead , you shall serve well all the beings you are able to see , hear and feel .
Some questions if I may : How do I study the Dharma ? and what is the purpose of the Suttras ?
Thanks for everyone who can answer these .
Shalom from Israel ! May you be well !

Man, if we could of only heald on against SA, we'd really be rolling right now.
"We've got to be very clear about this. We don't want our players hanging around with murderers," said Larry Bird, Pacers president.
Whats this? Hibbert being active despite foul trouble? George Hill being clutch?
We're seeing more and more of the team we all expected to see after last season. Things are certainly coming around.
Great win. There is now a good possibility that the team can come back with a winning record.
This LA based Pacers die-hard will sleep happily tonight, and be swelling with pride around all my jackass Laker friends for weeks!

If that same call happened against Indiana, I'd be livid. Duhon certainly reached up into him, but me oh my was that a touchy call.
Can I get a .gif of Danny's strut/dance after Hill's buzzer beater?
nice game by Ian. Is it just me or does Dwight Howard look more like Clark Kent than Superman. So far there is a big step down from Orlando Howard to LAL Howard. He looks kind of like Amare after his first knee surgery. A real good player but that super athleticism just is gone.
West was 2 assists away from a triple double. Kobe got one. He had 40 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 turnovers.
Amazing Game, Hill is such a Gamer. Its like he just elevates for the biggest of moments. Chauncy Billups anyone?
I really thought with Kobe making that 3 at the end to tie it up and no Hibbert on the inside, the Lakers were bound to come back and take this from us.
I'm really surprised to see that they did not try to force feed Hibbert there in the 4th with Howard having 5 fouls.
We missed 10 FTs.....4 late in the 4th. Gotta clean that up.
You can't get champagne from a garden hose.
In his defense, he literally had to do all the ball handling by the end. Everyone else looked scared to shoot.
If games are won and lost on a calculator and piece of paper, then why do we bother to play them?
By the way, it hasn't been a Jermaine O'Neal from Portland to SA growth but George Hill has really grown as a player here. Could you have imagined that he was this good when we traded for him? My lord.
"We've got to be very clear about this. We don't want our players hanging around with murderers," said Larry Bird, Pacers president.
just noticed KDot behind Pringles at the end lol. No worries dude, you still got AOTY :P

This game was ****ing ugly. Best looking thing was Danny moving nicely to celebrate the final shot.
I know we aren't supposed to get too high or low after a win or loss but...
I don't think that was Sherane who was with Kendrick though.
On an unrelated note, just saw on espn that this is the 20th anniversary of reggies 57 point game.
Larry Bird and Ryan Grigson- wasting the talents of Paul George and Andrew Luck
A win is a win but boy, D'Antoni needs a training camp badly.
Haha I just noticed the tall goofy dude in a brown polo saying it's a charge in a funny way as well.

Wacha growing more confident with cutter
KISSIMMEE, Fla. -- What began mostly as experimentation in 2013 just might turn out to be the latest weapon in Michael Wacha's growing arsenal of pitches.
As command of Wacha's fastball, changeup and curveball come along this spring, so, too, is a cutter, a pitch that Wacha threw about a half dozen times in his 73-pitch start on Friday. Three weeks ago, Wacha was trying to find an ideal grip on the pitch. Now, he's getting outs off it.
"I fully believe in it," Wacha said after throwing 3 2/3 shutout innings against the Astros. "It's been working pretty well for me the last few outings."
Wacha isn't necessarily looking for the pitch to induce swings-and-misses. But it has produced weak contact and has given batters an extra pitch to consider when they step in against him.
Wacha first started tinkering with grips late last season, and he threw the cutter sporadically in his starts -- though almost always in situations where he couldn't be hurt by it. Now, he is using it to challenge hitters.
"The confidence level has definitely increased from throwing it in bullpens, throwing it warming up and then throwing it in these games for sure," Wacha said. "I can catch them off guard with a different pitch."
