LOCAL NEWS Five Simple Steps to Cut Down On Gas Costs -by John Felmy Gas prices are rising across the country -- and the primary reason is the cost of making fuel. While both supply and demand for gasoline have risen in the United States, the worldwide demand for crude oil is up and the supply of crude oil is down. Middle East turmoil and loss of supply have further tightened markets. The increased crude oil costs and higher mandates for ethanol have made gasoline more expensive to make. Fortunately, there are some simple steps that you can take to offset higher gas prices and keep more money in your wallet. Here are five of them: 1. Drive slower. Driving at high speeds makes your engine run at more revolutions per minute -- and consume more fuel. And when your car is traveling faster, it's also facing greater air resistance, which requires the engine to work harder. So don't floor the accelerator unless it's an emergency. Driving 55 miles per hour instead of 65 miles per hour can improve your car's fuel economy by about 2 miles per gallon. 2. Avoid abrupt stops and starts. The herky-jerky trips most commuters are familiar with don't just give us headaches -- they also cost us fuel. Starting
from a full stop is a particularly energyintensive activity for an engine. And the extra gas each rev-up costs quickly adds up to a much bigger bill at the pump. So try to make your car rides as smooth as possible. Use back roads to avoid lights and traffic jams. Keep an ample distance between you and the car in front of you to avoid unnecessary braking and accelerating. When approaching a red light, try to slow down gradually to avoid a full stop before speeding back up again. And when you're at a full stop, don't gun it after the light turns green -- gradual starts can use up to 40 percent less gas than abrupt ones. 3. Don't overuse your air conditioner. A vehicle's air conditioner works by compressing a cooling agent. That process requires energy. And in a car, that source of energy is the fuel in your tank. On a blistering summer day, of course, it's fine to turn on the air conditioner. But once you've cooled down, don't keep the inside of your car at refrigerator-low temperatures. Overusing the air conditioner can reduce a car's fuel economy by up to two miles per gallon. When it's a nice day, roll down the windows. And make a point to park in the shade. 4. Plan your trips in advance. Taking a series of short trips instead of a single long one can put many extra miles on an engine. Plan ahead to combine errands and cut down on short trips. Pick the kids up from school, buy groceries, and drop a package off at the post office in one trip instead of three. And consider carpooling. When you share a ride you aren't just splitting gas costs -- you're also cutting down on expenses like insurance and taxes and helping the environment. 5. Maintain your car. Too many American drivers don't get their vehicle the regular tune-ups it requires. Properly maintaining your car can dramatically cut down on gas consump-
tion and save you money. For example, properly inflated tires can improve fuel efficiency by up to 3 percent. When tires start losing pressure, the engine has a tougher time pushing the car forward -- and thus consumes more gas. The average vehicle on the road right now has its tires under-inflated by over 7 percent, which can cause about a 3 percent loss in fuel economy. Removing excess weight in the cabin or trunk of the vehicle will also improve fuel efficiency. Simply removing this load can reduce fuel consumption and help to lower emissions. Gas prices could continue to rise over the next few months. But even if they don't, these five simple steps will help you reduce your fuel consumption -- and conserve your cash. John Felmy is the chief economist at the American Petroleum Institute.

More Bradford Community Soccer club teams are found on the pages of this week's Bradford Journal. Their winter season ends April 30 so we're continuing each week to show as many teams as possible……..Other photos in this edition include a couple taken at the ARG picnic April 5th, a couple from the Bradford Area Gardening and Landscaping Symposium, April 9th, and a couple more taken April 10th during the "Three Pines Mystery Tea".…….Our readers will notice that we are no longer carrying our Family Medicine column. The author, Martha Simpson D.O. has notified us that funding cuts to the Ohio University College of Osteopathic Medicine have disrupted this particular form of outreach by the School. We will, however be replacing it with what we hope will be an equally informative and interesting weekly editorial regarding health issues.…….Lewis H. Lapham, editor emeritus of Harpers Magazine and author of Lapham's Quarterly, using the recently released last work of Mark Twain, in an essay entitled "Democracy 101" (Harper's, April 2011, page 31) brings us the following stirring message: "As Twain remembers but the policy planners in our midst tend to forget, the Constitution was made for the uses of the individual, an implement on the order of a plow, an axe, a surveyor's plumb line, the institutions of government meant to support the liberties of the people as opposed to the ambitions of the state. Love of country follows from the love of its freedoms, not from a pride in its fleets, its armies, or its gross domestic product, and what joins the Americans one to another is not a common ancestry, race, or language, all of them weighted with burdens of the past, but rather their complicity in a shared work of the imagination………A local resident living on Charlotte Avenue complained to us that cars were being ticketed on his street because they were not being changed over from one side of the street to another on time. He also mentioned that cars being parked in the wrong direction were subject to tickets. And he didn't stop there. Down the street from his house he pointed to a broken down vehicle on the wrong side of the street with a ticket on the windshield. We had to ask ourselves, "Didn't the guy with the broken down car have enough expenses to take care of? Did he really need another in the form of a ticket?" The Charlotte Avenue resident mentioned that while the City tells him they enforce alternate side parking to allow for street cleaning, that his street is rarely, if ever, cleaned! Sounds like a little hidden taxation is going on here in the form of parking violation citations.
Planting Demonstration
-by Vince Vicere Shutting Down The Country For the past thirty years, candidates of the party of the very rich, the party of no, promised tax cuts for their super rich constituents and wars to bolster the profits of their holdings to get elected. But to do this required that they spend down this nation's surpluses and begin a new and bigger era of deficit spending. To quote the former Vice President, Dick Cheney, "deficits are meaningless". In reality tax cuts without offsetting growth spells financial ruination. Now the cut-tax-and-spend policies of the Republicans combined with the taxand-spend policies of the Democrats have finally caught up with this nation. In a nutshell, we continue to spend more money than we collect in revenue. And to a great extent this is tied to our exporting jobs to other nations and paying high prices for imported oil. But we shouldn't overlook lucrative no bid contracts, greed, corruption, and unethical business processes that have contributed to our increasing indebtedness. And to complicate and confound matters, over the same past thirty years the size of government at all levels, but especially at the federal level has continued to expand. Now that we're broke and we can see the reasons why, one would think that we could solve the problem by addressing the causes. So what do we do? Instead of making an effort to expand the US economy by creating living wage jobs that will fund the treasuries at all levels of government, the policies of the party that over the last thirty years have put this nation into fiscal ruination are now directed toward shrinking the size of government programs for the poor and middle class without touching the programs that contribute to the rich. This certainly is an example of the mean spirited side of human nature at its worst. It is also an example of the political process at its basest level. For example: the present "do it our way, or we'll shut down the government" as promoted by the tea baggers in Congress. Do they realize how such activity and such threats damage the creditworthiness of this nation? And do they realize that the cost of credit to our nation depends on showing unfailing, unfaltering operation of our government? Hopefully the more conservative group of Republicans in Congress will regain control and put an end to the needless interference with normal operations of government through politics. Perhaps then we can work toward real solutions for growing our country once more.

Smart Uses For Your Tax Refund -by Jason Alderman
Each spring, millions of Americans look forward to receiving a hefty income tax refund. And it truly is "hefty" with the average federal refund in 2010 hovering around $3,000. That's a lot of money to be giving the government through what is essentially a year-long, interestfree loan. If you regularly receive large refunds, you're probably having too much tax withheld from your paycheck. Instead, you might want to withhold less and put the money to work for you, by either saving or investing a comparable amount each month, or using it to pay down debt. Your goal should be to receive little or no refund at the end of the year. Ask your employer for a new W-4 form and recalculate your withholding allowance using the IRS Withholding Calculator available at www.irs.gov. This is also a good idea whenever your pay or family situation changes significantly (e.g., pay increase, marriage, divorce, new child,
etc.) Just be careful, because if too little is deducted, you might end up owing more tax next April, and possibly even interest or penalty fees. IRS Publication 919 can help guide you through the decisionmaking process. Some people received larger-thannormal tax refunds in 2009 and 2010 thanks to the Making Work Pay credit, which expired December 31, 2010. In its place, most taxpayers will see a 2 percent reduction in the amount being withheld for Social Security in 2011 paychecks. Another change this year was a Treasury Department pilot program that offered 600,000 randomly selected low- and moderate-income families an opportunity to have their tax refunds directdeposited into a prepaid debit card issued through Bonneville Bank. The pilot explored ways to save the government money (direct deposits cost 1/10th as much to process as paper checks) as well as to give people with no bank account easier and more cost-effec-

tive access to their tax refunds. Here are ways to put your refund to good use: Pay down debt. By increasing your payment amount on outstanding loan or credit card balances you can significantly lower the total amount of interest paid. Say you're paying $80 a month on a $2,000 credit card balance at 18 percent interest. By doubling your payment to $160, you'll reduce the payoff time from 32 months to 14, and shave $295 off the total amount of interest paid. Start an emergency fund. To protect your family against the impact of a layoff or other unexpected financial crisis (such as a medical emergency, car accident or theft), set aside enough cash to cover at least six months of living expenses. Save for retirement. If your debt and emergency savings are under control, add to your IRA or 401(k) accounts, particularly if your employer matches contributions – a 50 percent match corresponds to a 50 percent rate of return. Invest in yourself. Enroll in college courses or vocational training to ensure you have additional skills to fall back on should you lose your job or want to change careers. Invest in your family's future. Another good use for your refund is to set up a 529 Qualified State Tuition Plan or a Coverdell Education Savings Account to fund your children's or grandchildren's education – all while ensuring your contributions will grow tax-free until withdrawn.
TELLING YOUR FAMILY DOES! The first big step in becoming an organ donor is making the decision to do so. but that decision alone doesn't guarantee that your wishes will be followed. What many people don't know is that the surviving family must give consent before organ and tissue recovery can take place. Without that consent, it simply won't happen. Please don't let a wonderful decision go to waste. Talk to your family.

ON THE HEALTHY SIDE AICR HealthTalk Easy Tips To Help You De-Stress
Karen Collins, MS, RD, CDN American Institute for Cancer Research
Q: Is it true that it is more beneficial for older people to walk at a brisk pace than at a regular walking pace? A: Your question relates to news reports about research that links longer life expectancy with faster walking speed. These large studies of adults – mostly those age 65 and older – do link faster speed while walking a short test distance with longer life. Other indicators of physical function, such as grip strength and ability to rise from a chair, also show this link. But researchers say faster walking and these other physical functions are a marker that can help to separate more frail elderly from healthier elderly, which can be important in making various healthcare decisions. Walking speed is affected by muscle strength, heart function, balance and more, all of which relate to various aspects of health. Optimal walking speed varies with individuals, especially as we age and we know that people "age" at different rates. Walking is a good exercise for all of us, promoting weight control and providing direct benefits to lower risk of heart disease and cancer. Walking at a brisk pace means that in the same amount of time you burn more calories than walking at a slower pace, and thus does more to assist weight control.A pace brisk enough for an individual to feel their heart rate a little elevated may bring additional health benefits, too, though how fast that pace is will vary among individuals. One study of older adults showed that over 10 years, those who improved their physical fitness with regular exercise were less likely to show increases in blood pressure, blood triglycerides or insulin levels. For now though, researchers note that walking speed is more clearly one indicator of health status, rather than a target to improve health. Whatever their pace of walking, federal guidelines advise older adults to "avoid an inactive lifestyle:" the less we do; the less we become able to do. Q: Is it true that barramundi fish is high in omega-3 fat? A: Barramundi (also known as Giant Perch or Asian Sea Bass) is not quite as high in omega-3 fat as salmon, Atlantic mackerel, sardines or farmed rainbow trout, but it is a source of substantial omega-3 fat, with about 500 milligrams (mg) in a cooked 3-ounce serving (the size of a deck of cards). Its sweet, mild flavor makes it a popular choice, even with people who don't like the stronger taste of some of these other high omega-3 fish. According to the Monterey Bay Aquarium, when you get barramundi from U.S. or Australian sources, it is generally farmed in environmentally sound systems, and contaminants like mercury tend not to be a problem. It's available both fresh and frozen and can be served with a simple squirt of lemon juice to accent its flavor. Or try it baked, broiled or sautéed with flavors of the Mediterranean (like tomatoes, basil and garlic), Asia (like ginger and mushrooms) or Latin America (like lime, cilantro and jalapeno peppers).
(StatePoint) Stress is on the rise nationwide, and experts say it's endangering our physical and emotional health. Approximately three-quarters of Americans say they experience chronic stress at unhealthy levels, putting them at risk for heart disease, diabetes and depression, according to the American Psychological Association's 2010 "Stress in America" survey. In today's fast-paced world, it's more important than ever to take time to de-stress through such techniques as exercise, meditation and proper nutrition. Meditate To Unwind Scheduling time during your week to unwind will help you access your self-confidence and make better life choices. "Many experts believe in the healing powers of meditation. It allows us to de-stress from our hectic, overscheduled lives," says Ryuho Okawa, author of the new book "The Next Great Awakening: A Spiritual Renaissance" and founder of the Happy Science spiritual movement, which has 12 million members in 70 countries. "The real purpose of meditation is not just relaxing, but closing your physical eyes, and going into a state where you open your spiritual eyes." One form of mediation practiced and taught by Okawa focuses on teaching people how to enjoy solitude and silence. Once you stop the constant chattering in your busy mind, you can tap into a sense of peace and gain confidence in being alone. In the process you become more self-sufficient, since you will no longer be looking to others for confirmation of who you are. Another method is called "Reflective Meditation," where you look back at the events that took place in the past week, month, year, or your whole life. Through selfreflection, you calm your mind and enter a state of deep relaxation. This meditation allows you to change your perspective from negative to positive and become happier and healthier. Take Care of Yourself It's easy to forget to take care of yourself when balancing work and family obligations. Make sure to eat healthfully, instead of grabbing fast food or snacks on the run. Get proper nutrients from vegetables, fruits, protein and grains.When tension spikes, a balanced diet will help you stay calm. Walk, run, dance or participate in a favorite sport to work out tension. Physical activity can clear your mind and release endorphins that make you feel better. Get proper sleep. Too little sleep can make you more stressed and too much can make you sluggish. It's a balancing act. Engage With The World Don't spend all your time alone, indoors, stressing about life. Enjoy natural sunlight and the great outdoors. Or spend more time with people who love you for yourself and who have upbeat outlooks about life. These people lift your spirits, help you have fun and even may help solve problems in your life. "De-stressing is about more than just calming down our hectic lives," emphasizes Okawa. "It's about self-acceptance as well as unconditional love for others, because we are all struggling to better our lives."

Social Security Looms For Baby Boomers
Coaches Stand With Players After The Match
-by Jason Alderman
Talk about a stampede: The first wave of Baby Boomers begins turning 65 in 2011, which means they'll soon be tapping Social Security retirement benefits, if they haven't already. If you're a Boomer and haven't yet investigated how this program works, this may be a good time to learn the ropes. When you work and pay Social Security taxes, you earn up to four "credits" per year based on net income. In 2011, it takes $1,120 in income to earn one credit.You must accumulate at least 40 credits over your lifetime to qualify for a benefit; however, those who haven't earned sufficient credits sometimes qualify based on their spouse's work record. Retirement benefits are calculated based on earnings during 40 years of work. The five lowest-earning years are dropped and each year not worked counts as zero. "Full retirement age" increases gradually from 65 for those born before 1938 to 67 if born after 1959. If eligible, you may begin drawing benefits at 62; however, doing so may reduce your benefit by up to 30 percent. The percentage reduction gradually lessens as you approach full retirement age. Alternatively, if you postpone participating until after reaching full retirement age, your benefit increases by 7 to 8 percent per year, up to age 70. You can use the Retirement Planner tools at www.socialsecurity.gov/retire2 to estimate your retirement benefit under different earnings, age and life-expectancy scenarios. If you're married and your earned benefit is less than 50 percent of your spouse's, you're eligible for a benefit equal to half of theirs. Spousal benefits also are available if you're divorced, provided: your marriage lasted at least 10 years; you remained unmarried before age 60 (or that marriage also ended); and you're at least 62. If you remarried after age 60 (or 50, if disabled), you can still collect benefits based on your former spouse's record. If your spouse dies and was benefits-eligible, you and your children may be eligible for survivor benefits. Amounts vary depending on age, disability status and other factors. Read the Survivors Planner at www.ssa.gov/ survivorplan/ifyou.htm for details. Know that if you begin collecting Social Security before full retirement age yet continue to work, your benefit may be reduced. In 2011, you'll lose one dollar in benefits for every two dollars you earn over $14,160. (Note: Investment income doesn't count.) However, if you reach full retirement age in 2011, the formula changes: $1 will be deducted from your benefits for each $3 you earn above $37,680 until the month you reach full retirement age. After that, no further reductions. Thus, if you think you'll need to continue working, it might be wiser to hold off collecting Social Security until reaching full retirement age. These benefit reductions are not completely lost, however: Your Social Security benefit will be increased upon reaching full retirement age to account for benefits withheld due to earlier earnings. And finally, although Social Security benefits aren't taxed by many states, they are considered taxable income by the federal government. So, depending on your income, you may owe federal income tax on a portion of your benefit. For more details, read IRS Tax Topic 423 and Publication 915 at www.irs.gov .

CANCER - (June 21 - July 22) Something can turn around in your direction work-wise. However, you may have to compromise to get this finally resolved. LEO - (July 23, - Aug. 22) You may plan a once in a lifetime expedition. If your circumstances allow you to have a sabbatical, all well and good and off you'll go.

Ten Everyday Items To Include In Your Recycling (NAPSI)—According to the Environmental Protection Agency, the United States recycles 30 percent of solid waste— such as food scraps, package wrapping, grass clippings and bigger items like old microwaves, sofas and refrigerators. Increasing that recycling frequency to just 60 percent could save the equivalent of 315 million barrels of oil annually, the EPA suggests. Here are 10 recycling tips for individuals looking to make a difference locally and globally: 1. Newspapers should be saved in their own bin, as this material goes directly back into newsprint recycling. Recycling a 4-foot stack of newspapers saves the equivalent of one 40-foot fir tree. 2. Glass is recycled according to color: clear, green and brown. Recycling centers prefer when glass is separated this way. 3. Paint cans and aerosol cans are recyclable but considered hazardous waste and need to be kept separate from other metals. Leave labels on these cans so recyclers know what was in them. 4. Plastic does not break down in landfill and, because it can be reused for many diverse products, efforts should be made to recycle all plastic waste. 5. Aluminum cans should always be recycled. Many recycling centers request they not be crushed flat. Recycling one aluminum can saves enough energy to run your TV for three hours. 6. Electronic devices—such as radios, televisions, cell phones and computers—
can be dropped off at recycling centers that accept used electronics. 7. Roof shingles are being recycled to make new roads. 8. Refrigerators can be given to their manufacturing companies or to recycling centers. Make sure the chlorofluorocarbon, also known as CFC or Freon, has been drained and recycled. 9. Motor oil should never be dumped into storm drains, even if it's only a small amount. Instead, recycle the oil at a quick lube shop or auto parts store.
10. Batteries should be disposed of properly. An automobile battery, also referred to as a lead-acid battery, contains about 21 pounds of lead, three pounds of plastic and one gallon of sulfuric acid, which can be toxic if handled improperly. Interstate Batteries is the No. 1 battery recycler in the U.S., recycling more than 850 million pounds of batteries last year alone. Automobile and alkaline batteries can be recycled at Interstate All Battery Centers and Interstate Batteries dealers. For a location, visit www.interstatebatteries.com
New Study Shows Americans' Dependency On Email And Do's And Don'ts For Digital Communication (NAPSI)—More than ever before, people rely on digital communication, such as email, instant messaging (IM) and texting, to stay connected and get things done. And our evolving online behavior reveals a lot about our habits and values. A new survey conducted by Yahoo! Mail shows the average adult is highly invested in email, regularly using three email accounts—two for personal use and one for work use. The Yahoo! survey also finds a growing number of adults are "hooked" to their email, with two in three adults checking their email as soon as they wake up, up from only 41 percent last year. "We're wired 24/7—or at least many of us feel like we need to be, lest we miss something important at the office or what's happening with family and friends. For better or worse, there is almost a compulsion to check in and be 'in the know' all the time," noted Yahoo! Web Life Editor Heather Cabot. The new survey, which polled more than 2,000 people in the United States, asked in-depth questions about email accounts and acceptable email behaviors. The key findings include: People have multiple e-personalities:
Yahoo! found that adults are heavily invested in email, with the average person having a total of about three email accounts, all of which are checked on a regular basis. Breaking up is still hard to do: Thirteen percent of adults think it is appropriate to end a relationship via email, IM or text.

Quick And Easy Fix-its For Common Kitchen Mishaps (NAPSI)—All cooks have less than desirable results from time to time. The good news is that whether it's the recipe's fault or your own, most cooking disasters can be fixed in a few easy steps. Whether the soup is too salty, the sauce is too spicy or the veggies are a mushy mess, making a mistake in the kitchen doesn't mean you have to start from scratch, throwing out expensive ingredients and wasting precious time.

Turning The Tables On Odometer Fraud (NAPSI)—When it comes to fashion and music, some people think it's fun to try to turn back the clock. However, when scam artists turn back a used car's odometer, it's no joke. The motivation for such fraud is easy to see, since a vehicle with 40,000 miles on the odometer is usually more valuable than one with an odometer that reads 80,000 miles or more. It's no surprise, then, that a growing number of sellers are trying to "turn back time" on their cars and trucks by changing the mileage on their odometer in an effort to inflate the resale value. A Disturbing Trend According to NHTSA, more than 450,000 cases of odometer rollbacks are reported annually, costing consumers more than $1 billion. New research results from Carfax show that the number of cars with rolled-back odometers has increased significantly nationwide over the last few years. One factor in this growing trend, some say, is that the digital odometers used in the majority of today's cars are easier to manipulate. Plus, there's virtually no
physical evidence of tampering. Buyers have to examine a vehicle for indications of wear to determine if the car's overall condition is consistent with the mileage on the odometer. Tips on Avoiding Fraud Here are some tips to help car shoppers avoid buying a car with an odometer that's been rolled back: • Take a look at the wear on the pedals, steering wheel and floor mats to make sure it's consistent with the mileage reading; • Demand a Carfax Vehicle History Report from the seller; • Have a trusted mechanic check the car's computer and inspect the vehicle thoroughly for signs of wear and age prior to purchase. Use Available Resources According to Larry Gamache, communications director at Carfax, odometer fraud is alive and well. Said Gamache, "Con men continually find ways to cheat
the system, especially in a soft economy like this, and digital odometers are no exception. We cannot stress enough that consumers need to utilize every resource available to help protect them, starting with a Carfax Vehicle History Report. Simply asking the seller for a Carfax report and questions about the car helps separate the good guys from the bad guys." As a service to consumers, Carfax lets you check for potential odometer rollbacks free of charge at: www.carfax.com/odo
Cutting The Cost Of Teen Driving (NAPSI)—With high unemployment, plus concerns over rising gas prices and inflation, parents are seeking ways to cut the costs associated with getting teen drivers on the road. A recent Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company survey shows that households with teen drivers shell out an average of nearly $3,100 each year to allow their teens to drive. While other factors are involved, the cost of having a teen driver is a major one. On average, parents of teens pay or will pay nearly two-thirds or more of all costs associated with their child driving, ranging from auto insurance to gasoline. Further, 40 percent of parents will pay for all the costs associated with their child driving, while 33 percent will share these costs with their teen. Only one in six parents of teens say that their teen will pay for all the driving expenses. To help offset the cost, here are a few tips to manage the cost of car insurance: Good student discounts: Many carriers offer discounts for young drivers who excel academically. These ìgood studentî discounts reflect that responsibility in the classroom often leads to responsibility behind the wheel. Nationwide Insurance, for example, offers a 25 percent reduction in premium for drivers under age 21 who maintain a ìBî average or better. Education pays off: Some insurers provide a discount to families that register their teen to participate in a driver certification program. Family plan: Check to see if your insurer provides a family plan that provides discounts earned by the adults in a household to their teen driver(s). Discounts extended to teens as a part of the family plan include multicar, multipolicy and financial responsibility. These reductions can help save up to 25 percent on auto insurance premiums. Multiline discounts: Bundling policies—such as home, auto and life insurance products—with one company is a great way to save money on the overall cost of insurance. Deductible options: Having a higher deductible on an auto
policy, combined with programs such as Vanishing Deductible and Accident Forgiveness, can keep out-of-pocket expenses stable. For example, those who can afford to pay $500 when a claim occurs may want to select this as their deductible amount in order to lower insurance premiums. Other discounts: Having your payments made electronically can save you up to $48 annually.

Delicious And Convenient—Pumping Up The Flavor—Not The Cost Or Hassle (NAPSI)—Losing weight does not have to mean sacrificing taste or making complicated meals. Ask the members of Nutrisystem's celebrity Chef Culinary Council, a team of award-winning chefs who will support the company's mission of providing great-tasting, high-quality food to its customers. The Council will help guide the development of new foods and menu selections and provide its expertise on the latest ingredient and culinary trends. The result: more delicious ways to lose weight without hurting your budget. Council members include: • Tony Mantuano, chef/partner of the only four-star Italian restaurant in Chicago, Spiaggia; a James Beard Award winner for Best Chef of the Midwest; and a contender on "Top Chef Masters," Season 2; • Michael Solomonov, owner of Philadelphia's award-winning restaurant Zahav, 2011 James Beard Award finalist and recent contender on "Iron Chef America"; • Kent Rathbun, owner of Texas restaurants including Abacus, Jasper's, Shinsei, Rathbun's Blue Plate Kitchen and Zea Woodfire Grill; a former winner on "Iron Chef America"; • Mark Estee, known for his awarded restaurants in Nevada and California and former personal chef to Britney Spears and Paul McCartney; • Carmen Gonzalez, known in the culinary world for over 20 years as a talented and awarded chef, as well as for her creative Puerto Rican/American fusion cuisine; most recently known as a contender from "Top Chef Masters," Season 2. "When it comes to weight loss, a perception exists that dieting equals sacrificing meals you enjoy most," said Mantuano. "This is not the case. You can still enjoy the foods you love, but moderation is critical." A good example of a tasty nutritious meal is Chef Tony's Zucchini Pizza Roma, which can be made using a Nutrisystem Fresh-Frozen Margherita Pizza. Chef Tony's Zucchini Pizza Roma Prep Time: 3 minutes Yield: 1 serving Cook Time: 8 to 10 minutes in oven (preferred) or 75 seconds in microwave 1 Nutrisystem lunch entrée, 1 dairy serving, unlimited vegetable serving, 1 free food Ingredients: Calorie-free Crisco Olive Oil-Flavored pan spray 1 Nutrisystem Fresh-Frozen Margherita Pizza 1 small zucchini, yellow, green or both 2 Tbsp. Parmesan cheese, shredded 1 Tbsp. chives, fresh, cut on a diagonal, ½-inch lengths Preparation: 1. Preheat oven to 425° F. 2. To prepare, remove plastic wrap and place pizza with silver paper tray on a small cookie sheet sprayed with calorie-free olive oil. Slice lengthwise, 7 to 8 very thin ribbons of zucchini, using a sharp potato/vegetable peeler. Rotate the zucchini slightly as you slice each ribbon, retaining a colored edge on each ribbon. 3. Lay the zucchini ribbons across the top of the pizza, overlapping each slightly. Alternate green and yellow ribbons if using two colors of zucchini. 4. Sprinkle pizza evenly with Parmesan and then lightly spray the entire top with calorie-free olive oil. 5. Bake pizza in oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until cheese has melted slightly, crust is crispy and the edges are light golden brown. Remove from oven and sprinkle the hot pizza immediately with fresh chives, releasing all the great oils and flavors in the herb.
The Chef Culinary Council works together to develop delicious, convenient and cost-effective meals for people interested in losing weight. Tony Mantuano's Zucchini Pizza 6. Baking is preferred but for quick convenience, microwave the pizza, following the same prep steps. Leave pizza on silver paper tray and place on a microwave-safe plate. Cook on high for 75 seconds. Quickly sprinkle with chives and close microwave door. Allow pizza to "stand" in the microwave another 40 to 60 seconds. Variations and Serving Suggestions: The fresh chives create a nice spicy contrast to the zucchini. When chives are not available, substitute using a half tablespoon of finely minced green onion. This pizza is pretty when alternating colors of zucchini, but be assured, one color of zucchini is just as tasty! Create a second tasty pizza by substituting Nutrisystem Fresh-Frozen Roasted Vegetable Pizza for the Margherita Pizza variety. For more information, visit: www.nutrisystem.com/naps2011

Successful Container Gardening (NAPSI)—Container gardening lets you add character and color to your patio or balcony. If you're really hurting for space, then a window box can give you the splash of color you're looking for. "Container gardening lets you bring interior design components to your outdoor space," said Lance Walheim, co-author of "Landscaping for Dummies" and gardening expert for Bayer Advanced™. "It allows you to express your creativity." The National Gardening Association says that more than 26 million households have container gardens-that's the equivalent of the total number of households in California, New York and Texas. • What to grow: You can try just about anything as long as the pot is big enough. Options: Japanese maples, azaleas, camellias, roses, dwarf apples, lemons, peaches, pears, blueberries, strawberries, impatiens, marigolds, geraniums, daffodils and tulips. • Match the plant to the container: A Japanese maple looks great in a glazed ceramic pot. You also want to have one consistent style of pot, such as clay or wood. Snap a photo of your outdoor space with your ing flowers around the outside. Mix plants smart phone and let your garden center with the same sun requirements. guide you on options. Make sure the pots have drainage holes. • Keep it moist: Stick your finger deep into the soil.

Always read and follow label directions. • Feed your container garden: Frequent watering washes nutrients from the soil, so you'll need to fertilize more often to keep your plants blooming. If you do all the right things, your plants will stay healthy and grow. That means you'll need to transplant them into larger pots. You can reuse the older pot when you buy new plants or flowers.
Crabgrass: The Troublemaker In Your Yard (NAPSI)—Crabgrass is one of the most hated weeds around because it's such a troublemaker. According to several university extension services, a single weed can produce more than 150,000 seeds that can spread more crabgrass around your lawn, as well as to your neighbors' lawns. Seeds germinate in the early spring once the soil temperature reaches about 60 degrees. There are many ways for the crabgrass to spread: • The wind can spread seeds. • Your lawn mower can kick up seeds when you cut crabgrass. • Birds and other animals can carry crabgrass seeds as they move through your yard. "Crabgrass doesn't blend into your lawn," said Lance Walheim, author of "Lawn Care for Dummies" and lawn care expert for Bayer Advanced™. "It stands out because it's a big clump. Then, it gets bigger and bigger."
Crabgrass chokes out the good grass. Clumps can grow together. You'll end up with a big hole in your yard if you try pulling it out. Attack The Problem Early It's easier to attack a crabgrass problem early. Bayer Advanced (www.BayerAdvanced.com) offers two kinds of crabgrass-killing products. All-In-One Lawn Weed & Crabgrass Killer kills more than
200 broadleaf weeds plus grassy weeds such as crabgrass. If you have large crabgrass, go for a specialized solution: Crabgrass Killer for Lawns kills even large crabgrass, on certain types of lawns, right to the root. Always read and follow label directions. There are also a number of things you can do to help prevent crabgrass. Preventive Measures • Set your mower's wheel height to the type of grass you have: A lush, thick lawn is more resistant to crabgrass. • Fertilize once or twice a year: Strong turf chokes out crabgrass. • Deep, infrequent watering: Stick a screwdriver eight inches into the soil. If it's wet, you've watered correctly. Consult your local water department for lawn-watering guidelines. Crabgrass seeds can remain dormant in your lawn for years, so never let a problem get out of hand. If you see crabgrass, go ahead and treat it. It'll save you time and money later on.

Make Your Home More Allergen Free (NAPSI)—If yours is like most American families, someone in your household has allergies or asthma. According to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, approximately one in five people suffer with these problems. For most, the symptoms are worse indoors, where people spend up to 90 percent of their time exposed to dust mites, pet dander and other allergy triggers. Shots and other types of medications can alleviate much of the misery. Allergists say, however, the first step in treating allergies is to reduce exposure to allergens. While many health care providers recommend getting rid of the family dog, that's not very likely in most households. Fortunately, there are ways for many allergy sufferers to live with "man's best friend." 1. Pay special attention to bedrooms. Consider replacing wall-to-wall carpet with hardwood, tile, laminate or other hard-surface flooring, particularly in bedrooms. Change sheets frequently and wash them in hot water and encase mattresses and pillows in allergen-impermeable covers.
2. Consider installing a central vacuum system. Using a BEAM Central Vacuum System has been clinically proven to improve allergy symptoms by up to 61 percent. They offer deeper cleaning than a conventional vacuum and completely remove contacted dust and allergens from the area. Since a central vacuum system doesn't exhaust inside the living area, it won't expel surface allergens into the air. There also are pet-grooming attachments available that can remove dander at the source. 3. Filter the indoor air. Whole-house HEPA air filtration systems, such as those made by BEAM, remove almost 100 percent of airborne particles in the home, including allergens. Pleated furnace filters also have been proven somewhat effective in reducing airborne particulate. 4. Keep indoor humidity levels low. Dust mites thrive in warm, moist air. Setting the relative humidity at 50 percent or lower will significantly reduce dust mites in the home. While these steps won't cure allergies, they can certainly make living with them
and the family pet much easier. For more information on improving indoor air quality or to locate a BEAM dealer, visit www.beam.com
How To Get More Work Done In More Places At Once (NAPSI)—Many believe one key way in which business culture is changing is that work on a specific project can now be conducted from various locations—in some cases simultaneously. As a result, businesses are looking for ways to become more flexible and agile. Agility, in this case, refers to a business's ability to collaborate either with distributed teams or customers and rapidly respond to change—delivering on projects in a timely manner anywhere in the world. Agility has a cost Having experts travel to central locations to work out solutions is the only means many companies see of delivering what their clients need. With multiple offices and a culture of flexible working, coupled with dispersed teams and clients, they see no alternative to in-person, despite the expense and time lost to travel. Recently, a number of technologies have emerged, all trying to offer innovative solutions for organizations to simulate a single meeting environment from multiple locations. Teleconferencing, videoconferencing, Web conferencing and telepresence all promise to meet this demand, giving people the opportunity to communicate with one another. An interactive solution Re-creating the dynamism, interactivity, information sharing and productivity within meeting spaces, interactive whiteboard displays produced by SMART Technologies are replacing traditional
tools like dry-erase boards and flip charts. These solutions are transforming the way businesses collaborate, problem-solve and share data. The technology is ideal for companies that want to increase productivity, reduce travel and offer staff creative and timely ways to share information. Coupled with SMART's Bridgit™ conferencing software, this technology has been used to create connected virtual "meeting rooms," where people working across multiple locations can share computer desktops, use touch-screen commands, simultaneously write in digital ink over any application from Adobe Reader
to Microsoft PowerPoint, generate and integrate data as well as write, save and email notes immediately with colleagues or customers anywhere in the world. Tangible benefits Solutions from SMART Technologies have been adopted by organizations of all sizes, with such companies as BT, Cisco, Microsoft, Turner Construction and the U.S. Army reporting measurable benefits.

From Thomas Jefferson to James Madison, 1 October 1792
To James Madison
Bladensburg. Oct. 1. 1792.
My dear Sir
In the line I scribbled to you from Georgetown to-day I omitted to inform you that I had unfortunately dropped your letter with some papers of my own in the road between Mount Vernon and Alexandria. Proper measures are taken to recover them.—I have reflected on Govr. Lee's plan of opposing the Federal bank by setting up a state one, and find it not only inadequate, but objectionable highly, and unworthy of the Virginia assembly. I think they should not adopt such a milk and water measure, which rather recognises than prevents the planting among them a source of poison and corruption to sap their catholicism, and to annihilate that power, which is now one, by dividing it into two which shall counterbalance each other. The assembly should reason thus. The power of erecting banks and corporations was not given to the general government. It remains then with the1 state itself. For any person to recognise a foreign legislature in a case belonging to the state itself, is an act of treason against the state, and whosoever shall do any act under colour of the authority of a foreign legislature whether by signing notes, issuing or passing them, acting as director, cashier or in any other office relating to it shall be adjudged guilty of high treason and suffer death accordingly, by the judgment of the state courts. This is the only opposition worthy of our state, and the only kind which can be effectual. If N. Carolina could be brought into a like measure, it would bring the General government to respect the counter-rights of the states. The example would probably be followed by some other states. I really wish that this or nothing should be done. A bank of opposition, while it is a recognition of the one opposed, will absolutely fail in Virginia. Adieu. Yours affectionately.
RC (DLC: Madison Papers); unsigned; addressed: "James Madison junr. esq. Orange"; notation on address cover: "Fredg. Oct. 4. 1792 Forwarded by his mo: h, F. Maury."
The letter dropped by TJ was one of an unknown date from Madison to Daniel Carroll (Madison, Papers, description begins William T. Hutchinson, Robert A. Rutland, and others, eds., The Papers of James Madison, Chicago and Charlottesville, 1962–, 17 vols. description ends xiv, 374; Washington to TJ, 7 Oct. 1792; Carroll to TJ, 13 Oct. 1792). The papers lost by TJ consisted of letters from Edward Church of 16 and 17 May 1792, from John M. Pintard of 15 May 1792, from William Short of 25 June 1792, and from Edward Telfair of 21 Aug. 1792. TJ recorded all five letters in SJL as "lost," though he later canceled this notation for the two from Church. Texts of all five are published in this edition.

Governor Henry Lee briefly mentioned his plan for creating a Virginia state bank in a 10 Sep. 1792 letter to Madison (Madison, Papers description begins William T. Hutchinson, Robert A. Rutland, and others, eds., The Papers of James Madison, Chicago and Charlottesville, 1962–, 17 vols. description ends , xiv, 363). Madison may have referred to the subject in a missing letter to TJ of 16 Sep. 1792 (see note to TJ to Madison, 17 Sep. 1792). Despite TJ's wishes, the Virginia General Assembly during its 1792 session authorized the establishment of state banks in Alexandria and Richmond (Hening, description begins William Waller Hening, ed., The Statutes at Large; Being a Collection of All the Laws of Virginia, Richmond, 1809–23, 13 vols. description ends xiii, 592–607).

More than 800 hospital patients across South Lincolnshire, King's Lynn and Cambridgeshire are assisting with medical studies.
Medical research at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, King's Lynn, has seen a 116 per cent increase in participants in the past 12 months.
The increase in willing patients has resulted in Dr Antonia Hardcastle's Research and Development Team setting up more studies to tackle diseases such as cancer, arthritis and multiple sclerosis.
Dr Hardcastle said: "Patients are very generous to take part in these studies.
"We have some patients who are incredibly ill but continue to come to the hospital as they want to give something back."
Current studies range from looking at childhood obesity to the physical
and emotional effects of being treated in a Critical Care Unit.
Primetime is a study aimed at preventing some breast cancer patients making the daily journey to Cambridge for radiotherapy.
The team is now looking to recruit volunteer Patient Research Ambassadors to liaise with patients and staff.

I'm Steve. I live along the Gulf Coast of Texas. I love photography and have been serious about it for about 6 years. Since I started taking photography seriously, everything I see, I look at from the perspective of photography. I only wish I had more time to devote to this passion. I enjoy sharing my photographs and I especially enjoy viewing photographs of others, here in the U. S. and around the world. Thanks for taking the time to look.Create your own visitor map!
