Alcohol use disorder (AUD) runs strongly in families. It is unclear to what extent the cross-generational transmission of AUD results from genetic vs environmental factors.
To determine to what extent genetic and environmental factors contribute to the risk for AUD.
Design, Setting, and Participants
Follow-up in 8 public data registers of adoptees, their biological and adoptive relatives, and offspring and parents from stepfamilies and not-lived-with families in Sweden. In this cohort study, subtypes of AUD were assessed by latent class analysis. A total of 18 115 adoptees (born 1950-1993) and 171 989 and 107 696 offspring of not-lived-with parents and stepparents, respectively (born 1960-1993).
Main Outcomes and Measures
Alcohol use disorder recorded in medical, legal, or pharmacy registry records.
Alcohol use disorder in adoptees was significantly predicted by AUD in biological parents (odds ratio, 1.46; 95% CI, 1.29-1.66) and siblings (odds ratio, 1.94; 95% CI, 1.55-2.44) as well as adoptive parents (odds ratio, 1.40; 95% CI, 1.09-1.80). Genetic and environmental risk indices created from biological and adoptive relatives acted additively on adoptee AUD liability. Results from biological and adoptive relatives were replicated and extended from examinations of, respectively, not-lived-with parents and stepparents. Multivariate models in these families showed that AUD in offspring was significantly predicted by AUD, drug abuse, psychiatric illness, and crime in not-lived-with parents and by AUD, drug abuse, crime, and premature death in stepparents. Latent class analyses of adoptees and offspring of not-lived-with parents with AUDs revealed 3 AUD classes characterized by (1) female preponderance and high rates of psychiatric illness, (2) mild nonrecurrent symptoms, and (3) early-onset recurrence, drug abuse, and crime. These classes had distinct genetic signatures in the patterns of risk for various disorders in their not-lived-with parents and striking differences in the rates of recorded mood disorders.
Conclusions and Relevance
Parent-offspring transmission of AUD results from both genetic and environmental factors. Genetic risk for AUD reflects both a specific liability to AUD and to other externalizing disorders. Environmental risk reflects features of both parental psychopathology and other aspects of the rearing environment. Alcohol use disorder is a heterogeneous syndrome and meaningful subtypes emerged from latent class analysis, which were validated by patterns of disorders in biological parents and specific psychiatric comorbidities. The general population contains informative family constellations that can complement more traditional adoption designs in clarifying the sources of parent-offspring resemblance.
Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is strongly familial.1 While twin studies have shown that genetic factors contribute substantially to familial aggregation of AUD,2- 8 their results were less consistent regarding familial-environmental effects. Some twin studies suggested modest or substantial familial-environmental influences on AUD risk2- 5 while other reports found no evidence for such effects.6- 8 Furthermore, traditional twin studies examined influences on the resemblance of individuals in the same generation. We know less about genes and environment contributions to cross-generational transmission of AUD.
The adoption design is a common approach to disentangle genetic and environmental sources of parent-offspring resemblance. Of the 3 major adoption studies of AUD, the Danish studies did not explore familial-environmental effects (eg, the study by Goodwin et al9). In other publications from US adoption samples, Cadoret and Gath10 and Cutrona and colleagues11 reported a range of findings of the familial-environment effects from no direct impact on the risk for AUD in adoptees to significant effects of "alcohol problems in adoptive family" in males only.12,13
The Stockholm Adoption Study showed that placement experiences and socioeconomic status of the adoptive father impacted AUD risk but the magnitude of this impact varied as a function of both genetic risk and AUD subtype.14,15 Men with a genetic diathesis toward mild or severe—but not moderate—AUD had poorer outcomes when exposed to adverse postnatal environments. Most, but not all, of these results were replicated in an independent sample.16
Outside of adoptions, other family constellations can assist in disentangling the nature of parent-offspring transmission. Biological parents beget offspring with whom they never live. Stepparents raise children who are genetically unrelated to them. In this report, we expand the traditional adoption design to include these additional informative families termed not-lived-with (NLW) families and stepfamilies, respectively.
We examined 6 questions in a nationwide Swedish sample. First, with a greater sample size than previously available, can we clarify the degree to which cross-generational transmission of AUD results from genetic vs environmental effects? Second, do conditions other than AUD in biological parents predict adoptee risk for AUD? Third, do other disorders in the adoptive parents or features of the adoptive home predict adoptee AUD? Fourth, do findings from NLW families and stepfamilies replicate those seen in the adoption sample? Fifth, can we replicate prior evidence for gene-by-environment interaction in AUD? Finally, given the long-standing view that AUD is etiologically heterogeneous, can we replicate prior typologies of AUD using latent class analysis and validate the resulting subtypes with the pattern of disorders in biological parents?
We linked the following registers and health care data from multiple nationwide sources:
The Swedish Hospital Discharge Register included all hospitalizations for all people in Sweden from 1964 through 2010. Every record has the main discharge diagnosis and 8 secondary diagnoses.
The Swedish Prescribed Drug Register included all prescriptions in Sweden from July 1, 2005, through December 31, 2010. It is complete because all prescriptions are registered at the National Board of Health and Welfare.
The National Censuses Registry provided information on education, household, and marital status in 1960, 1965, 1970, 1975, 1980, 1985, and 1990.
The Total Population Registry included annual data on education and marital status from 1990 to 2009.
The Multi-Generation Register provided information on family relationships from 1932 to 2009 including all adoptions and adoptive and biological parents and siblings.
The Outpatient Care Register included information from all outpatient clinics in Sweden from 2001 to 2010.
The Primary Health Care Register included outpatient care data on diagnoses and time for diagnoses from 2001 to 2007 for around 1 million patients from Stockholm and middle Sweden.
The Swedish Crime and Suspicion Register included national complete data on all convictions, including those for AUD, from 1973 to 2011.
Linking was based on the unique individual Swedish 10-digit personal identification number that is nearly 100% complete and is assigned at birth for all Swedish residents for his or her lifetime. This number was replaced by a serial number to guarantee confidentiality for all individuals. The study was approved by the ethics committee of Lund University in Malmö, Sweden; patient consent was waived.
We examined 3 study groups: (1) adoptees, (2) offspring not living with 1 parent, and (3) offspring living with a stepparent. Adoptees were selected if individuals were born from 1950 to 1993 and information on both adoptive and at least 1 biological parent was available. Individuals adopted by biological relatives or an adoptive parent living with a biological parent were excluded. The age at formal adoption was recorded from 1991 onward. For individuals adopted before 1991, we estimated age at adoption by age at first cohabitation with adoptive parents (AFCAP) from census data including individual addresses. Census data were available every 5 years; therefore, the AFCAP represents an upper limit of true age at adoption.
The National Censuses Registry included information on household serial number for each individual. Each household and each family has its own respective serial number. A household implies that the person or group of persons were registered in the same municipality and lived in the same dwelling. The Total Population Registry included family information, which consists of a maximum of 2 generations where people have relationships with each other and are registered on the same property. For years in which we did not have exact information, we approximated the household and geographical status with the information from the closest year. The study sample of offspring not living with a parent refers to those individuals who never lived with 1 of their biological parents in the same household or the same community (eAppendix 1 in the Supplement). Because household serial number was recorded from 1960 onward, we identified only those offspring not living with parents from 1960 to 1993.
Offspring living with a stepparent did not reside with the relevant biological parent (father or mother) from ages 0 to 15 years and resided for at least 10 years with an adult who was (1) the same sex as the missing parent, (2) 18 to 50 years older than the offspring, and (3) with whom they were not biologically related. We identified only those offspring living with a stepparent from 1960 to 1993.
Our definitions of AUD and the genetic and environmental risk factors used in our adoption and NLW analyses are outlined in eAppendix 1 and eAppendix 2 in the Supplement.
Because our outcome variable, AUD, is dichotomous, we used logistic regression and modeled AUD as a function of genetic and environmental risk factors. We sought to determine whether genetic and environmental risk factors interacted in the etiology of AUD and we have previously argued that the scale of raw probabilities is appropriate for such analyses.17 Therefore, for these analyses, we used PROC GENMOD in SAS18 with the identity link and specified the variance to be binomial. We specified the effects of the explanatory variables (and the interaction term) to be additive on the scale of probabilities. All P values are reported 2-tailed. For our latent class methods, see eAppendix 3 in the Supplement.
The general characteristics of our adoptive sample are outlined in Table 1. In the 18 115 adoptees, the prevalence of AUD was 9.4%. Compared with adoptive parents, biological parents had much higher rates of AUD, crime, drug abuse (DA), and psychiatric illness. Similar differences were seen between the adoptive and biological full- and half-siblings.
Table 2 provides basic information on the 1702 adoptees with AUD. A total of 73% were males. Males had an earlier mean age at registration and more registrations and higher rates of criminal registration. These 1702 cases had the following registrations: hospital discharge (n = 860), crime (n = 795), outpatient (n = 600), prescription (n = 527), and primary health care (n = 138). The validity of our AUD diagnosis was supported by high rates of coascertainment across registries (mean odds ratio [OR], 32.7; eTable 1 in the Supplement).
In our main adoption analyses, focusing first on the univariate analyses, AUD in adoptees was significantly associated with AUD, DA, psychiatric illness, crime, maternal divorce, low education level, and young age in biological parents and AUD and DA in biological siblings (Table 3). In multivariate analysis, a history of AUDs in biological parents and siblings, divorce, low education level, and young age in biological parents remained significant.
In univariate analyses, AUD was significantly predicted by a history of AUD, crime, divorce or death, and low education level of adoptive parents and AUD and hospitalization in adoptive siblings (Table 3). In multivariate analyses, AUD, crime, and death in adoptive parents and hospitalization in adoptive siblings remained significantly predictive.
From the multivariate analyses, we constructed genetic and environmental aggregate risk indices divided into deciles. The correlation of the genetic and environmental risk scores, which reflects assortative placement, was statistically significant but small (+0.07; P < .01).
We predicted risk for AUD in adoptees from these indices: sex, AFCAP, and age (Table 4). The aggregate effects of genetic factors on the risk for AUD in adoptees were approximately twice as strong as the familial-environmental factors. In the final model, the effect of AFCAP was not significant. On the scale of raw probabilities, we then tested for an interaction effect between our genetic and environmental risk indices. As seen in eTable 2 in the Supplement, no interaction was seen. For further details on this analysis, see eAppendix 3 in the Supplement.
We identified 171 989 offspring of NLW parents, 94% of whom were fathers. Table 5 depicts the predictors of AUD risk from biological father and mother from the adoptive sample and the fathers and mothers in both the paternal and maternal NLW families. An NLW parent could influence the risk for AUD in an outcome directly through genetic transmission or through assortative mating to a spouse who would contribute genes and rearing environment for the offspring. The tetrachoric correlation for AUD in parents in NLW families was +0.17 (P < .001), indicating modest assortment. Therefore, we present in Table 5 the results for NLW families (and the comparison biological parents of adoptees) for both mothers and fathers together so multivariate models control for assortative mating.
In the univariate analyses, AUD in the offspring was significantly predicted by AUD, DA, psychiatric illness, and crime in the NLW father. In the multivariate analyses, controlling for the impact of the mother, NLW paternal AUD, DA, and crime remained significant risk factors. The format of Table 5 permits a direct comparison of results from the NLW fathers and the biological fathers in the adoptive sample. Focusing on the multivariate results, AUD and crime were more predictive of offspring AUD risk in the NLW than the biological fathers (Table 5).
Univariate analyses showed that AUD, DA, psychiatric illness, and crime in the NLW mother significantly predicted AUD risk in offspring and AUD, DA, and crime remained significant in the multivariate analyses controlling for impact of the father. In the multivariate analyses, AUD was a stronger risk factor in biological than NLW mothers while the reverse was seen for DA and crime (Table 5).
We identified 107 696 offspring reared by stepparents, 86% of whom were stepfathers. The correlation for AUD in the stepparents and biological parents was small (+0.11). To be conservative, we presented parallel univariate and multivariate results for the adoptive and stepfamilies including both the biological and stepparents or adoptive parents (Table 6). In univariate analyses, the risk for AUD in offspring was significantly increased by a history of AUD, DA, crime, and psychiatric illness in the stepparent. These results were broadly comparable with those seen between the adoptive parents and adoptees. In the multivariate analyses in both the adoptive and stepfamilies, only AUD and crime in the step/adoptive parents remained significantly associated with AUD in the offspring, with the associations being stronger in the adoptive families (Table 6).
In additional analyses, the univariate ORs between offspring AUD and low education level and death in the adoptive parents and stepparents were very similar (low education: OR, 0.81; 95% CI, 0.72-0.92 and OR, 0.78; 95% CI, 0.74-0.82, respectively, and parental death: OR, 1.42; 95% CI, 1.21-1.67 and OR, 1.43; 95% CI, 1.10-1.85, respectively). In multivariate analyses, including all the parental phenotypes examined in Table 6, the results were very similar for parental death in the adoptive (OR, 1.45; 95% CI, 1.23-1.71) and stepparent (OR, 1.44; 95% CI, 1.36-1.53) families while low education level was more strongly predictive of offspring AUD risk in the stepparent (OR, 0.83; 95% CI, 0.79-0.86) than the adoptive families (OR, 0.95; 95% CI, 0.86-1.06).
We fitted latent class models to data from the adoptees with an AUD registration (n = 1702) on their sex and 6 binary variables relevant to AUD: criminal conviction, recurrence, early age at onset, DA, alcohol-associated medical disorder, and psychiatric illness. The 3-class model provided a good fit to the data (eTable 3 in the Supplement) and was readily interpretable. Table 7 shows the frequency and item response probabilities for the 3-class solution. The frequency of all variables differed significantly across classes. Class 1 had by far the highest proportion of females and cases with a psychiatric diagnosis. Class 2 had low overall endorsements and appeared to represent largely mild cases. Class 3 was characterized by the lowest proportion of females and the highest proportion of crime, recurrence, early age at onset, and DA. We then applied a 3-class latent class analysis solution on the AUD cases from the NLW families (n = 14 488), the results of which, also seen in Table 7, rather closely resembled those seen in the smaller adoptee sample.
To validate these latent AUD classes, we first looked at their mode of ascertainment and the specific recorded psychiatric diagnoses (eTable 4 in the Supplement). In both the adoptees and offspring of the NLW families, members of class 1 were the most likely to have been identified through medical registries and class 3 through criminal registries, and members of class 1 were more likely to receive all of the specific psychiatric disorders examined. Class 2 had very low rates of all psychiatric illnesses. The results were particularly striking for mood disorders. While 50% to 55% of class 1 members received a mood disorder diagnosis, the parallel figures for classes 2 and 3 were around 2% and 20%, respectively.
Next, we examined the association between class assignment in the offspring and key features of the biological mothers and fathers in the larger and more statistically powerful NLW families (eTable 5 in the Supplement). In both NLW mothers and fathers, class 3 was associated with the highest rates of parental AUD, DA, crime, and low educational attainment. The NLW mothers of class 1 AUD offspring had the highest rates of psychiatric illness. The parents of offspring with class 2 AUD had the lowest rates of all the traits examined. Broadly similar results were seen in the biological parents in our adoption sample.
We addressed 6 questions. First, consistent with prior adoption studies,9,10,14,16 risk for AUD was increased in the adopted-away offspring of biological parents with AUD. We expanded on these results showing the risk for AUD was also increased in biological siblings of the adoptee and, to our knowledge, we demonstrated for the first time that the risk for AUD in adoptees was significantly increased by AUD in adoptive parents. Parent-offspring transmission of AUD results from both genetic and environmental factors.
Second, congruent with prior studies suggesting that AUD is part of an externalizing genetic spectrum,19- 21 risk for AUD in adoptees was significantly increased by a history of crime and DA in biological parents.
Third, in addition to AUD in adoptive parents, AUD in adoptees was significantly predicted by a criminal history, low parental education level, and adoptive parental divorce and death. These results are consistent with prior Swedish findings that AUD in adoptees is predicted by low occupational status in the adoptive father.14,15 Controlling for an adoptive parental history of AUD, adoptee AUD was still significantly predicted by adoptive parental crime and death. These results are consistent with a prior twin-family study, which showed that the pathway from parental loss in childhood to risk for AUD in offspring was largely environmental in nature.22
Fourth, we expanded on the traditional adoption design to more typical family relationships, assuming that NLW and stepparents would, like biological and adoptive parents from a classic adoption design, reflect genetic and familial-environmental sources of parent-offspring resemblance, respectively. Results with the NLW parents broadly replicated those seen with biological parents but with greater statistical power. In multivariate analyses, we were able to see that a history of DA in NLW fathers and crime in NLW fathers and mothers independently predicted the risk for offspring AUD. Results from the stepparents also broadly replicated findings from adoptive parents. In multivariate analyses, stepparental AUD, crime, low education level, and premature death all significantly predicted the risk for AUD in the stepchild.
Fifth, 2 prior adoption samples11,14 found that genetic risk from biological parents and features of the rearing environment statistically interacted in predicting adoptee risk for all cases of AUD11 or in a subset.14 Despite our substantially greater sample size, we did not replicate these findings. Using a conservative statistical approach that examined interactions based on risk differences rather than risk ratios,17 genetic and environmental risk factors for AUD added together.
Finally, a long historical tradition has suggested that AUD is clinically or etiologically heterogeneous.14,23,24 A latent class analysis of AUD cases in adoptees identified 3 classes. The second class reflected mild cases of what might be termed alcohol abuse. The first and third classes substantially resemble types identified in prior typologies.14,24 Our classes 2 and 3 are reminiscent of Babor's type A and B alcoholics, respectively.24 The former (class 2 and type A) is generally less severely affected, with modest psychiatric comorbidity. The latter (class 3 and type B) is associated with early onset, greater severity, and poorer medical outcomes. Parallels to the typologies of Cloninger et al14,25 are also evident: our class 3 and type II of Cloninger et al both had early onsets and a severe course. Women are more likely to belong to our class 1, similar to type I of Cloninger et al.25 The adoptive types replicated well in the much larger sample of AUD offspring from NLW parents.
These typologies predicted the source of ascertainment for the individuals with AUD and the patterns of specific psychiatric comorbidities. These AUD classes also had distinct genetic risk signatures reflecting phenotypes in their biological parents. Biological parents of class 3 AUD offspring stood out as having the highest rates of AUD, DA, crime, and low educational attainment. Biological mothers of AUD class 1 offspring had the highest rates of psychiatric illness. This is also congruent with the findings of Cloninger et al14: biological fathers of adopted type II cases were more likely to have a history of severe alcohol abuse and criminality.
These results should be interpreted in the context of 3 potentially important method limitations. First, we detected individuals with AUD from medical, legal, and pharmacy records. While this method has the advantage of not requiring accurate respondent recall or reporting, it produces both false-negative (individuals with AUD who escaped registration) and false-positive diagnoses (individuals detected who were not truly disordered). We cannot precisely estimate these biases. Given that the population prevalence of AUD using our method (6%-10% over most of the birth years examined in this study) is lower than estimates from most epidemiologic surveys including one from nearby Norway,26,27 cases in our sample were likely, on average, to be more severely ill than those detected in population-based interview studies. Similarly, because the current analyses were limited to the Swedish population, we cannot be certain that the results generalize to other populations or races/ethnicities. The validity of our definition of AUD is supported by the high rates of concordance for registration across our difference-ascertainment methods (eTable 1 in the Supplement).
Second, nonrandom placement of adoptees can bias adoption studies. Prior studies of Swedish adoptions noted modest selective placement (eg, +0.14 correlation in educational attainment between biological and adoptive parents).28,29 Our indices of genetic and environmental risk for AUD were also intercorrelated (+0.07) but the magnitude was too modest to substantially influence our findings.
Third, AUD has been studied previously in Swedish adoptive samples.14,16 However, there is no overlap between these studies, which sampled adoptees born from 1930 through 1949 and the current study that began with adoptees born from 1950 through 1993.
Using a national epidemiologic sample and a definition of AUD based on registration in medical, legal, and pharmacy records, we found, using a traditional adoption design, that AUDs were strongly transmitted from parents to offspring. Offspring risk for AUD was also independently predicted by DA and crime in the biological parents, supporting prior evidence that, from a genetic perspective, AUDs are part of an externalizing spectrum. We also found strong evidence for both direct and indirect environmental transmission. That is, AUD in adoptees was predicted both by AUD in adoptive parents and by other measures of potential adversity in the adoptive home such as parental death and low socioeconomic status. Despite a large sample, we found that genetic and environmental risk factors for AUD combined additively. These adoption results were replicated in an expanded adoption design wherein results from NLW parents and stepparents approximated those seen with biological and adoptive parents, respectively. Finally, we identified subtypes of AUD, which resemble prior typologies. These classes were validated by showing specific and expected relationships with different disorders in biological parents.

McALLEN, Texas (CBSNewYork/AP) — Credit card information stolen in the Target data breach apparently has hit the market.
Police in Texas arrested two men who they said used phony credit cards to buy merchandise.
McAllen, Texas, Police Chief Victor Rodriguez said Monday that 27-year-old Mary Carmen Garcia and 28-year-old Daniel Guardiola Dominguez, both of Monterrey, Mexico, used cards containing the account information of South Texas residents. The chief said they were used to buy tens of thousands of dollars' worth of merchandise at national retailers in the area.
The two were arrested on Sunday morning trying to re-enter the U.S. at the border.
Target Corp. disclosed last month that about 40 million credit and debit cards may have been affected by a data breach that happened between Nov. 27 and Dec. 15, just as the holiday shopping season was shifting into high gear.

Habitat Family
The West Metro Habitat Interfaith Coallition (formerly known as Jeffco Partners for Interfaith Action) faith coalition is happy to be partnering with Thaddeus and his son to build a new Habitat home in Denver this year.
Thaddeus is a single dad raising his teenage son in a crowded one bedroom apartment. Sharing a bedroom is their only option at this point. He mentioned that his son needs more space to become his own person. Thaddeus already spends more than 30% of his income on rent and worries that it will continue to increase. It's always been a dream of his to own his own home, but he is unable to fulfill that dream without Habitat. When asked what he doesn't like about his current apartment, he answered "it's not mine". Every time he pays his landlord, he feels as though he's fulfilling someone else's dream and not his own.
Thaddeus is also very concerned with the amount of drug use in his neighborhood. Simply closing his door and staying indoors is not a solution. His neighbors are constantly smoking marijuana—the smell is undeniable. Because the odor is so strong, it seeps into Thaddeus's apartment and constantly fills the room. He is fed up with living in this environment and exposing his son to this kind of behavior.
Thaddeus has been working very hard as a sales associate and has high hopes for a better life for his family. He is so thankful for Habitat Metro Denver and is excited to start working toward homeownership.

Coalition Events
Pumpkin Patch
Each year, West Metro Habitat Interfaith Alliance, formerly known as Jeffco Partners for Interfaith Action) turns pumpkins into houses. Throughout the month of October, coalition volunteers sell pumpkins and donate the proceeds to Habitat Metro Denver. To learn more about West Metro's pumpkin venture, email Tom Brunn at email@example.com.
Go to www.JeffcoPartners.com to view the 2014 Pumpkin Patch volunteer schedule and to sign up for volunteer opportunities. We need approximately 50 volunteers to help unload each of the three truckloads of pumpkins. The Lakewood Patch has approximately 180 volunteer shifts to sell the pumpkins.

Gratitude Banks
The children from the Sunday School at the Arvada United Methodist Church raised money for Jeffco Partners by expressing gratitude during Lent. Every day the children with their parents would read a Bible passage and celebrate a moment of gratitude by placing coins in a small cardboard bank that looked like a habitat home, for things such as "For each room in your home deposit 25 cents." The children raised $223.80. Congregation B'nai Chiam, Jefferson Unitarian and Mile Hi Church are also working with their youth on the Gratitude Project. Click here to see how to contribute to a gratitude bank.
Empty Bowl Dinner
Every year, Jefferson Unitarian Church hosts the "Empty Bowl Dinner" as a fundraiser for Habitat for Humanity. Guests are encouraged to donate an amount equal to what they are accustomed to spending when they go out to dinner. The dinner consists of homemade soups, stews, salads, breads and desserts. Click here to see the flyer!
Girls' Night Out
For the past 6 years, Arvada United Methodist Church has had a fundraiser called "Girls' Night Out", which is a themed movie and dinner for the "Girls" in our lives on the Saturday evening before Mother's Day. The men in the congregation prepare and serve the meal as a treat to the women in our coalition in honor of Mother's Day.
The 2014 event featured the movie "Philomena" with an Irish- themed meal including Irish Soda Bread. Click here to see the flyer.
In addition to pumpkins, Jeffco Partners raise money through King Soopers Gift Cards. To learn about purchasing a Gift Card through Jeffco Partners, go here.

Review for Don Massey Collision Center
Lacey M. on 05/02/2012
Lacey said they never did what her husband asked them to do, which was to keep him posted on the process. They kept the vehicle for 3 weeks and she and her husband had to pay for a rental. The repair was 2 weeks late and they gave no reason and they had to be the ones calling for updates. She didn't deal with the estimator. Her husband asked for them to call him when they opened up the vehicle because he wanted to show them where he thought the noise was coming from and they didn't and because of all these issues, she will not recommend this facility.

With Doc Rivers and Rajon Rondo both in attendance at Monday night's PatriotsTexans game, you knew that football would be on everyone's mind Tuesday at Celtics practice.
And guess what? You knew right.
"Rondo is our Tom Brady, as far as being the point guardquarterback," Doc said this afternoon. "Kevin Garnett probably as far as all of the relationship stuff. Tom Brady has got to be right there as one of the best in history. It's surgical watching him play."
Asked about the comparison, Rondo said: "Point guard and quarterback are pretty much the same thing. Tom Brady? I don't know about that."
I don't know either, but I definitely agree that point guard and quarterback are cut from the same uniform cloth. And I don't think I need to explain that any further. I mean, you get it, right? We all get it. Folks have been comparing point guards and quarterbacks since the beginning of time. And I mean that literally.
But what about the other positions? How do the other four spots in a basketball line-up best relate to the NFL game?
I'd say that centers are most like middle linebackers. Ideally, they're the base of communication on the defensive end. The core that you build your entire defense around.
The power forward especially in today's game is your tight end. A guy who can get out and run, and be a factor on the offensive end when you need him to. But also a guy who's strong enough and tough enough to hold his own in the trenches; who can be gritty and grimy and smash a few heads when you need him to.
As for the last two spots? You can make an argument that both the shooting guard and small forward are receivers in their own right. They both are best when getting out in open space and filling the lanes, and those with the greatest combination of speed, size, agility and power are generally the most successful. Based on that, I'd say the shooting guards are more of a slot receiver the smaller, quicker, shiftier guys who (in the half court set) get open by maneuvering through creases in the defense. Meanwhile the small forwards (although there are exceptions) are your game breakers. Your home run hitters.
And that brings us to the baseball analogies . . .
Nah, just kidding. Maybe another day.
And definitely not tomorrow.
Much like the C's, tomorrow it's back to being all about basketball.

"Right now there's a lot of hype and a lot of fanfare, and also a lot of embellishment," says Mark Moyad, MD, director of complementary and alternative medicine at the University of Michigan Medical Center. There are also some seldom-discussed risks associated with the spice.
Here's what you need to know before you buy your first bottle.
(Slash your cholesterol, burn stubborn belly fat, solve your insomnia, and more—naturally!—with Rodale's Eat For Extraordinary Health & Healing!)
The Benefits Are Still A Little Shaky
At least a dozen studies have linked turmeric supplementation to inflammation-related health perks, from reducing pain to safeguarding the brain against stroke or degenerative diseases like Alzheimer's. The most consistent evidence has linked turmeric to improvements in symptoms of arthritis. But so far, a lot of that research has come from lab or animal experiments—not from people.
There's definitely reason for optimism, Moyad says. But for those who think taking loads of turmeric will cure all that ails them, he warns that the evidence is preliminary.
Proper Dosage Isn't Clear
Studies on the benefits of curcumin are all over the map in terms of dosage. While some conclude 200 mg per day of curcumin is enough, others range all the way up to 5,000 mg—taken via multiple doses spread throughout the day.
"I'd recommend starting low, and going slow," Moyad cautions. He says 500 to 1,000 mg of curcumin a day—taken with food—is a safe and effective dose.

There Are Some Risks
Some of the best research on turmeric has linked turmeric supplements to an increased risk for kidney stones, Moyad says. Also, as with any supplement, you run the risk of contamination or inaccurate labeling. Moyad says supplements are only lightly regulated. And an analysis from ConsumerLab, a company that tests supplements for label accuracy and purity, found that more than 20% of turmeric supplements fell short of their listed amounts of curcumin—and that one was contaminated with lead.
If you're intent on taking turmeric as a supplement, ConsumerLab's review approved products from Jarrow Formulas and NutriGold as contaminant-free and properly labeled.
Related: Is Your Supplement A Fake?
You Need To Take It With Food
Your body struggles to absorb curcumin when you swallow the chemical on its own. But taking your supplement with fat-rich foods—nuts, yogurt, olive oil—or adding ground turmeric to fatty dishes can help your body absorb more curcumin, says Tod Cooperman, MD, president of ConsumerLab. Mixing turmeric with black pepper also seems to boost your gut's ability to take it in, he says.
The Bottom Line
You may be best off trying to incorporate turmeric spice into more of your meals—sprinkling it into sauces, say, or adding a dash to your yogurt—instead of swallowing it in pill form, says Moyad. And if you don't feel any different and you're intent on taking a turmeric supplement, consider the two mentioned above.

With the conversion of animation to live-action, Disney could have hit stardust gold. Cinderella is the first experiment from the Walt Disney company to "refresh" their animated legacy properties to "real life". If successful, you will see Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, Tangled and yes, Frozen, be adapted to the big screen with real actors. Imagine a Frozen live-action movie? We've seen glimpses of how it would look like through the Broadway shows, but film is a whole other medium and beast. The amount of money to be generated from recycling old content is a potential game-changer for the Disney's film division. Only time will tell if it works, but we at least have this trailer for now to judge it on. Have a look! Read More

WASHINGTON — Rick Perry, the governor of Texas, believes that climate change is a "contrived, phony mess." The federal income tax was the "great milestone on the road to serfdom." And the Boy Scouts of America are under attack by "a radical homosexual movement."
Mr. Perry also thinks that senators should be chosen by legislatures, not the people. And he says that Social Security, the retirement program for the nation's elderly, is a "failure" enacted during a power grab called the New Deal and is "something we have been forced to accept."
Those blunt assertions are in two books Mr. Perry wrote while building a deep base of support in Texas among evangelical voters and Tea Party supporters. But the books have drawn new scrutiny now that Mr. Perry, a Republican, is running for president.
On Wednesday, Mr. Perry is likely to be asked about some of the statements he makes in the books when he takes the stage in his first nationally televised presidential debate. How he responds, and whether he defends the ideas or distances himself from them, will be an early test of his campaign.
On the campaign trail, Mr. Perry talks in broad, vague terms about the need to get America working again. But his words are much more specific in the books.Continue reading the main story
So far, Mr. Perry has stood by his statements in his books while allowing aides to distance his campaign from the writings. His spokesman has called "Fed Up! Our Fight to Save America from Washington" a "look back, not a path forward," but when a reporter in Iowa asked Mr. Perry himself whether he stood by his statements, he claimed not to have "backed off anything in my book."
Mark Miner, a spokesman for the governor, said Mr. Perry wrote the book to "foster discussion and to encourage his fellow Americans to think about how we choose to govern ourselves." Mr. Miner said that the governor "trusts the American people to govern themselves" and said that principle would guide his thinking during the campaign.
But Mr. Perry's own words at the beginning of "Fed Up!" suggest that he did not intend for it to sit on a shelf. "It is not enough to be fed up. We must act," he wrote in the first chapter.
Touching a potential political minefield, Mr. Perry unleashes a critique against Social Security as "a crumbling monument to the failure of the New Deal."
Mr. Perry's assault on the retirement program is not a throwaway line or two. He asserts that the social programs of the New Deal — including Social Security — "never died, and like a bad disease, they have spread." He says the Social Security trust fund is an "elaborate illusion cooked up by government magicians."
Asked about the book recently, Mr. Perry went even further, calling Social Security a "Ponzi scheme for these young people" and a "monstrous lie on this generation."
But his words skim over the financial reality of Social Security. Economists of all stripes agree that the program, while stressed, would exhaust the money in the trust fund by 2037. But even then, taxes would pay for close to 80 percent of the benefits currently promised.
In "Fed Up!," Mr. Perry contrasts himself with politicians who represent places like Massachusetts — who he said support same-sex marriage and state-run health care. The passage, written less than a year ago, seems squarely aimed at his current rival, Mitt Romney, the former governor of Massachusetts.
When it comes to health care, Mr. Perry writes that President Obama's legislation on the subject was "the closest this country has ever come to outright socialism," largely ignoring the fact that Mr. Obama's plan relies heavily on existing private insurance companies, doctors and drug manufacturers.
He takes particular aim at the 16th Amendment, which gives the federal government the power to levy an income tax, and the 17th Amendment, which allows for popular elections of senators rather than selection by state lawmakers.
Americans, Mr. Perry said, "mistakenly empowered the federal government during a fit of populist rage in the early 20th century."
His campaign has said Mr. Perry does not believe that either amendment should be repealed, though in the book he raises the possibility of a national sales tax to replace the income tax. A national sales tax could face stiff resistance because it could shift the tax burden to the poor and middle class.
Mr. Miner said the book merely "reflects the governor's view of how our nation got into the mess we find ourselves in today."
In his other book, "On My Honor: Why the American Values of the Boy Scouts are Worth Fighting For," Mr. Perry, a former Eagle Scout, offers a defense against criticism of the Scouts for not allowing homosexuals to participate.
He lambastes the American Civil Liberties Union and people who "claimed to be agnostics" for their battle over many years to change the membership policies for the Scouts.
In one much-quoted passage, Mr. Perry compares gays and lesbians to alcoholics who choose to drink.
"Even if someone is attracted to a person of the same sex, he or she still makes a choice to engage in sexual activity with someone of the same gender," Mr. Perry writes.
His writings about homosexuality are a departure from many of his contemporaries in the Republican Party.
In Washington last year, Congress voted to end the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy restricting gay and lesbian service members amid survey evidence of a new acceptance in the military and in the broader community.
In the book Mr. Perry also takes on the A.C.L.U. as leading a campaign against religion in public life, accusing "a small minority of atheists" of trying to sanitize our civil dialogue.
"They protesteth too much," he writes. "It's as if the mere mention of a Creator is too powerful an idea for their own Godless ideology to withstand."Continue reading the main story

Postcard: Minimizing Costs on Inter-Datacenter Traffic With Store-and-Forward
It is typical for cloud providers to operate a number of geographically distributed datacenters, where inter-datacenter traffic constitutes a large portion of a cloud provider's traffic demand over the Internet. Though such inter-datacenter traffic incurs substantial operational costs that are charged by ISPs, it varies significantly across different overlay links, raising the opportunity to optimize both routing and scheduling of inter-datacenter traffic to minimize costs. As data is being transmitted multiple sources to their respective destinations, an intermediate datacenter is also able to store data and forward them at a later time, so that peak traffic demand can be reduced.

Some have said that Cisco will never completely embrace virtual networking because it undermines the company's massive networking hardware business. If you build a virtual network, it's easier to bypass the big-name hardware sellers in favor of, say, no-name gear manufactured in Asia, writes Wired Enterprise's Cade Metz in "How Will Cisco Embrace Virtual Networking? It's Complicated". But Lew Tucker, vice president and chief technology officer of cloud computing at Cisco, rejects the notion that Cisco won't move with the times, and the acquisition of vCider — though small — is yet another sign that the virtual networking movement is changing the way Cisco operates.
Cisco is building tools for operating virtual switches and virtual networks, but these same tools will also be used to manage physical switches and physical networks, Metz writes. This spring, Nicira co-founder Martin Casado told us that Cisco would never fully embrace virtual networking, but Tucker says there's another way of looking at this.
"There's a difference between fully embracing something and solely embracing it," he says. "We believe that customers will want to manage both the virtual and the physical."
Metz weighs in:
This only makes sense. No, really. It does. Though it has heavily trumpeted the virtual networking idea, Nicira originally built its technology to improve the management of physical networking hardware. None other than Google collaborated with Nicira on a controller that's now used to oversee physical hardware on the search's giant internal network, and odds are, Nicira will eventually introduce a new product that will oversee both the physical and the virtual.
Have your say: It's complicated for sure, but is Cisco playing its cards right in embracing the virtual networking future? Is Cisco's hardware business still going to take a big hit from software-defined networking?

Can We Have Both? - Real and Nominal Convergence
Candidate countries for accession to the EU often view EU convergence criteria as difficult given that the period of faster growth that real convergence necessitates is usually associated with higher inflation. This paper argues that it is important to focus on the mechanism of real convergence in this regard. If economic growth is accelerated by virtue of the closing of a technology gap, the processes of nominal and real convergence can indeed be compatible. In order to analyze this hypothesis, model simulations were run for five accession countries assuming a scenario in which FDI increases exogenously. The model used for simulation is a modified version of the model used in a related research project of Barrell, Holland, Kovacs, Jakab, Smidkova, Sepp, and Cufer (2001). According to simulation results, CPI falls and GDP per capita increases compared to the baseline following the introduction of an FDI shock. Although the results are not identical for all five countries, the hypothesis of compatibility of convergence criteria is generally supported.

Player diary: Bonus points are a small reward but we wanted a second victory
It's not often a team comes back from a 24-point deficit in the second half to claim two bonus points, and despite our considerable efforts, we were left to mull over what might have been last weekend in Glasgow.
Ultimately we were disappointed in the way we played in the first- half. Going in 23-6 down at the break and to concede such an innocuous try right at the start of the second half left a long way back for us.
It was an unfortunate one on John Cooney: he just slipped at the worst time and they benefited. But the lads got around him, picked him up and walked back to the restart with him. We win as a team and make mistakes as a team.
And it was that spirit that drove us to the comeback on the back of John's try, and to within a score with five minutes to go.
It's bitterly disappointing to see how many points we gave them, but on the other side of the coin it was great to see the belief and fightback there.
I spoke to the lads after the game and told them there was times in the past that Connacht teams would have dropped their heads and shipped another 15 or 20 points in that situation, so to show that determination was crucial.
Plenty of people have spoken to me about the early try that we had ruled out because of the 'spirit of the game' rule which the referee invoked, and to be honest I have no issue with his ruling.
I find the rule itself a bit contradictory, though. Rugby is a gentleman's game, but if the spirit of the game was to be used every time someone made a mistake we'd have nothing but whistles blowing.
In fairness their winger made an error and the referee made the call, so we have no issue with it whatsoever.
It is tough to see calls go against you, especially in the scrum where we were so clearly dominant. It is a really tough area to referee, but it is frustrating when you see your scrum marching yards forward and the penalty goes against you.
Facing up against a team coached by Dan McFarland was a strange experience for a lot of us, but we can be happy with our day's work against his new outfit.
But the lads in the front-row were disappointed that a few scores came off penalties awarded against them and that proved crucial in the end. But we're really happy with how our set-piece is motoring and we'll continue to work on that in the coming weeks.
We ended up with four tries to our name and for the third game in a row Nepia Fox-Matamua got on the scoresheet. He is going really well for us. He is an excellent player and like when Jake Heenan came over, he has hit the ground running.
Pat Lam has a keen eye for what's needed in a No 7, so hopefully Nepia continues to thrive.
But James Connolly is putting the pressure on him too in the last few weeks and he'll continue to knock on the door for starts too. Jake will be back before too long as well, so it's nice to have a bit of competition and depth for that position.
Going back a few months people might have been concerned about the openside, but it looks to be a real competitive jersey now.
This week we had a good day's training on Monday, just to sign off on the opening two weeks of the season. We had a good look at the match tape from Glasgow and have identified a few things that we need to work on in the next week or so ahead of the Cardiff game.
Since Monday we've all been off and after spending nearly every day since the start of pre-season in each other's pockets, it's probably no harm to do that. It is a very strange feeling, though: just two weeks into a new season and we're sitting here with our feet up.
But we all know what lies ahead too. After the World Cup finishes we have 16 weeks in a row of games, followed by a week off and then another four weeks in a row. That's 20 games in 21 weeks, which is going to be a real test of our squad. It's vital that we rest up now when we have the chance.
But it is really frustrating too not to have a game this weekend. We've gotten off to a decent start with a home win and two bonus points from our trip to play the champions, so what we'd love is another outing tonight. But we'll keep a hold on the reins for another week and try and have our 'A game' ready for the Cardiff Blues.
I suppose there could be worse times to have some hours on your hands. We're going to be spoilt rotten in the next few weeks with the amount of rugby on the telly.
I am hoping to make it over at some stage in the next few weeks and take in a game or two, but I haven't got my hands on tickets just yet. Hopefully I'm not too late, but even if I don't work it out, it'd be nice to go over and sample the atmosphere around with a few of my mates that live over in the UK.
The highlight will be watching Robbie and Nathan in action for Ireland, but it'll be great to be able to sit back and just watch a game without the notebook, or without trying to spot flaws and deficiencies in your opponents.
I'm expecting big things from Ireland in the next few weeks, I'm sure Joe Schmidt will have them ready for a tough pool, and hopefully we'll have plenty to shout about in six Sundays' time.

ESB Launches and Promotes the use of Bio Fuel Vehicles in its Networks Fleet.
ESB today (Friday 19th Sept) launched in partnership with the University of Limerick a pilot project which introduces the use of bio fuels to ESB's commercial vehicles, one of the largest fleets in the country.
This initial phase involves almost 100 bio diesel powered vehicles, ranging from small vans to large 4 wheel drive hoists, all part of the ESB Network fleet.
The bio diesel used by these vehicles is provided by Munster based Eco Ola and is sourced from rape seed grown as a rotation crop by Irish farmers.
University of Limerick will monitor and analyse the performance and maintenance of the bio fuel vehicles over an 18 month period. The trials will involve testing different bio fuel mixtures ranging from 30% bio diesel up to 100%. The results will highlight the most efficient mixture of mineral diesel and bio diesel with the view to extending the use of bio fuel in its fleet.
The introduction of these bio fuel vehicles is part of ESB's recently announced ?22billion investment programme which is focused on renewables and carbon reduction. The company is committed to halving its carbon output in 12 years and becoming net Carbon Zero by 2035.
Launching the initiative, John Campion, ESB Executive Director for Sustainability said ?The introduction of Irish sourced bio fuel to the ESB fleet is one of a number of initiatives the company is currently undertaking to reduce its overall carbon output. The transport sector is a major producer of carbon emiss

The Charles Bukowski Tapes Trailer (1987)
"Barbet Schroeder interviews Bukowski." 01 January 1987 240 mins
The Charles Bukowski Tapes are an altogether more than four hours long collection of 52 short-interviews with the American cult author Charles Bukowski, sorted by topic and each between one and ten minutes long. Director Barbet Schroeder (Barfly) interviews Bukowski about such themes as alcohol, violence, and women, and Bukowski answers willingly, losing himself in sometimes minute-long monologues. Amongst other things, Bukowski leads the small camera team through his parents' house and his former neighbourhood, but the largest part of the interviews takes place in Bukowski's flat or backyard. The documentary includes a scene in which Bukowski reacts violently toward his wife Linda Lee.

Re: Postulate:Kentucky Banfields
In reply to:
Postulate:Kentucky Banfields
Bryan Banfield 4/26/05
Hello possible cousin. We may connect (family lines) way back in the 1700's. I know my family line goes back to Berks Co. PA where the surname is spelled Banfield on tax records, wills, church records, deeds, etc.
Somewhere along the way the spelling in NC records became Benfield. Names that are associated with Banfield/Benfield both in NC and PA ( Boone-Dunkley) and the fact of the Boone - Banfield association in KY. Make it almost impossible to doubt connections.
I would like to suggest the following as a possibility, accepting the lack of "proven" records at this time , and the possibility of never having them; lets start with two brothers John (1) Banfield , Thomas (1) Banfield. Thomas (1) is known to have been in Berks Co. PA. from 1728 until his death in 1770.
1-John (1) & Mary ?
A- Thomas (2) Banfield & Ruth Mandlin marry 1750 *ps1
i- John (2) b. aprox 1755 *ps2
ii- Thomas (3) b. 1751-1760 *ps3
a- Thomas (4) & Prudence Williams
iii- Georgeb.1753-1770 *ps4
plus other possible brothers and sisters
We have found what appear to be "extra" Benfields in NC & SC records for the period 1760-1790; the above could explain several of them, provided evidence is found. Yes a lot of this is maybes but as proofs (hopefully) are found I believe this is fairly right.
*ps1 –Thomas (2) Banfield/Benfield is known to be in PA in 1750 (marriage), in NC (1759), in PA
(1760's), in Bedford Co PA (1772/3), in Allegany Co PA (1791); it strongly suggest that this
is the same Thomas. Add the fact that two of these times are known to be the same Thomas,
plus the Boone family being in many of the same places at the same time.
*ps2 -John (2) is mentioned in a deed for land on Dutch Buffalo Creek- Rowan Co NC (1778),
here again close to the Boone family. In 1786 John sued a neighbor in Lincoln Co NC and is
is in the 1790 census for Lincoln Co NC; this is where the NC Benfields start our proven
*ps3 – If (yes the dreaded if) this Thomas (3) is the son of Thomas (2) and born 1751-1760 he is the
right age for the land grant in Jefferson Co KY in 1781. Now as to the marrage of Prudence
Williams to a Thomas it could be Thomas (3) but I believe it is more likely to Thomas (4).
*ps4 – If this George was born 1753-1770 he would be the proper age for the 1791 property in Allegany Co. PA. I am betting he was named for George Boone.
