Obesity-related health conditions are health conditions that, whether alone or in combination, can significantly reduce your life expectancy. A partial list of some of the more common conditions follows. Your doctor can provide you with a more detailed and complete list:
Type 2 Diabetes. Obese individuals develop a resistance to insulin, which regulates blood sugar levels. Over time, the resulting high blood sugar can cause serious damage to the body.
In type 2 diabetes, either the body does not produce enough insulin or the cells ignore the insulin. Insulin is necessary for the body to be able to use glucose for energy. When you eat food, the body breaks down all of the sugars and starches into glucose, which is the basic fuel for the cells in the body. Insulin takes the sugar from the blood into the cells. When glucose builds up in the blood instead of going into cells, it can lead to complications.
High blood pressure/Heart disease. Excess body weight strains the ability of the heart to function properly. The resulting hypertension (high blood pressure) can result in strokes, as well as inflict significant heart and kidney damage.
Osteoarthritis of weight-bearing joints. The additional weight placed on joints, particularly knees and hips, results in rapid wear and tear, along with pain caused by inflammation. Similarly, bones and muscles of the back are constantly strained, resulting in disk problems, pain and decreased mobility.
Sleep apnea/Respiratory problems. Fat deposits in the tongue and neck can cause intermittent obstruction of the air passage. Because the obstruction is increased when sleeping on your back, you may find yourself waking frequently to reposition yourself. The resulting loss of sleep often results in daytime drowsiness and headaches.
Gastroesophageal reflux/Heartburn. Acid belongs in the stomach and seldom causes any problem when it stays there. When acid escapes into the esophagus through a weak or overloaded valve at the top of the stomach, the result is called gastroesophageal reflux, and "heartburn" and acid indigestion are common symptoms. Approximately 10-15% of patients with even mild sporadic symptoms of heartburn will develop a condition called Barrett's esophagus, which is a pre-malignant change in the lining membrane of the esophagus, a cause of esophageal cancer. For more information on heartburn, its causes and possible cures, visit www.heartburnhelp.com.
Depression. Seriously overweight persons face constant challenges to their emotions: repeated failure with dieting, disapproval from family and friends, sneers and remarks from strangers. They often experience discrimination at work, cannot fit comfortably in theatre seats, or ride in a bus or plane.
Infertility. The inability or diminished ability to produce offspring.
Urinary stress incontinence. A large, heavy abdomen and relaxation of the pelvic muscles, especially associated with the effects of childbirth, may cause the valve on the urinary bladder to be weakened, leading to leakage of urine with coughing, sneezing, or laughing.
Menstrual irregularities. Morbidly obese individuals often experience disruptions of the menstrual cycle, including interruption of the menstrual cycle, abnormal menstrual flow and increased pain associated with the menstrual cycle.
Morbid obesity brings with it an increased risk for a shorter life expectancy. For individuals whose weight exceeds twice their ideal body weight (that's about 2-6% of the U.S. population), the risk of an early death is doubled compared to non-obese individuals. The risk of death from diabetes or heart attack is five to seven times greater. Even beyond the issue of obesity-related health conditions, weight gain alone can lead to a condition known as "end-stage" obesity where, for the most part, no treatment options are available. Yet an early death is not the only potential consequence. Social, psychological and economic effects of morbid obesity, however unfair, are real and can be especially devastating.

NEW YORK (AP) — The euro rose against the dollar Thursday as banks in Cyprus reopened for the first time in nearly two weeks.
The euro rose to $1.2822 in late trading Thursday from $1.2774 late Wednesday.
As part of a bailout deal, Cyprus agreed over the weekend to seize funds from big depositors. Banks have been closed to avoid a rush of withdrawals. Investors were pleased to see that there were no signs of panic at banks in Cyprus Thursday. The country has limited how much money depositors can withdraw or transfer to international banks.
In other trading, the British pound rose to $1.5189 from $1.5130.
The dollar fell to 94.13 Japanese yen from 94.38 Japanese yen and to 0.9490 Swiss franc from 0.9537 Swiss franc.
The dollar rose to 1.0165 Canadian dollars from 1.0163 Canadian dollars.

Fisher Cats beat Reading, playoff hopes still alive
The Fisher Cats on Thursday night played like a team with no room for error.
Backed by solid pitching from Marcus Stroman and heavy hitting by Ryan Schimpf and Adam Loewen, New Hampshire handed the host Reading (Pa.) Fightin' Phils a 12-4 setback, boosting their still-long chances at a playoff spot.
Schimpf hit a two-run homer in a four-run fourth inning, then added a solo shot in the sixth. Loewen clubbed a solo homer in the seventh, one of his three hits. He finished with three RBIs.
Stroman went 5 2/3 innings, allowing five hits and two runs. He fanned eight.
The victory allowed New Hampshire to pull to within three games of second-place Trenton in the Eastern League's Eastern Division, pending Trenton's game on Thursday night against Portland. The top two teams in each division make the playoffs.

Owners: smaller liquor stores face extinction without tax break
SEATTLE -- Small, privately-run liquor stores in Washington are closing at a rapid rate.
The owners are blaming high tax rates and unfair business practices by distributors and larger warehouse stores, supermarkets and chain liquor stores.
Two years ago, voters approved the privatization of hard liquor sales, forcing the end of state-run liquor stores. Many small-business owners with dreams of making a living by selling booze for the first time spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in many cases on licensees.
Now those dreams are dying.
A resent survey conducted by the Washington Liquor Store Association showed 60 percent of small liquor stores are either closed or will close by the end of the year. A small store is considered less than 10,000 square feet. The WLSA is a trade organization made up of small liquor stores.
Biniam Habte owns two Seattle area liquor stores, including University Liquors near the University of Washington. He paid $320,000 for the liquor license at the formerly state-run store.
Before I-1183's passage, the store was doing booming business, fueled by college students. Now, Habte says it does one-tenth the sales. He's finding it tough to compete with the supermarkets down the street.
Habte says his store has generated $800,000 in tax revenue for the state, including a whooping 17 percent tax that goes to the Liquor Control Board. But Habte says he has made zero profits.
"We are not making any money for ourselves. There's no doubt that not just 90 but 100 percent of our liquor stores will be gone," he said.
Liquor store owners are now banding together to ask lawmakers in Olympia for special consideration.
"We are specifically asking the legislature to give just the former state liquor stores and the contract stores just that 17 percent tax break for small businesses," said Bunti Sarai, VP of Operation for G3 Liquors in Olympia.
Larger stores would still pay the tax.
Members of the WSLA believe the big liquor chains, warehouse store and supermarkets can spread that 17 percent tax into the cost of non-liquor items. It's something that small liquor stores can't do because 90 percent of sales is taxable liquor.
"They are spreading the 17 percent on other things they sell and we believe thats unfair competition," said WSLA President Jas Singha.
Habte says distributors can sell the same bottle of spirits at the same price to everyone, but because larger stores can spread out the cost of the tax to other items, they can undercut the small liquor store on price.
"Do we make the same margin? No, so that's what is killing us," Habte said.
The Washington Liquor Control Board says 40 percent of small liquor stores have stopped paying taxes. That's the only indication the board has of the number of licensed stores that may have closed.
"It's been a sheer nightmare to compete and survive," Sarai said.
This year, state lawmakers rescinded the 17 percent tax for small Washington-based distillers by waving the tax at the wholesale level. It will be up the lawmakers to expand that tax cut for just the small liquor store owner. Any store larger than 10,000 square feet would still pay the 17 percent tax.

Well this is pretty exciting news to start off the weekend. A source close to Tool shared news with Crave Online that a new Tool record will see the light of day by the end of the year. This is pretty big news but the only thing that is kind of off about this whole thing is the source. This could be just some crazy fan or person who has nothing to do with the band just spouting nonsense.
The source says that Tool's guitarist Adam Jones spoke with him last night at the bands opening night of their current US Tour stating that there will be a new Tool record by the end of the year.
Heres to hoping that this is 100% true and we get a new record. If not we all might just loose our minds!
Tool will be returning to AZ at the end of the month at US Airways Center. The show is SOLD OUT but Shan Man has your hook up during 10'O Clock Tool. So tune in for your chance to win!

Hoyt plugs budget to skeptical Olean audience
OLEAN – "Government is working in New York State," according to one top state official.
But he got some pushback Thursday from local officials.
Sam Hoyt, regional president of Empire State Development Corp., delivered the message to city and educational leaders, business people, and interested community members in the Cutco Theater of Jamestown Community College's Cattaraugus County Campus.
Hoyt's comments mirrored those of Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, who visited Western New York on Tuesday and displayed a hockey puck to symbolize Albany's "hat trick" of passing a budget on time three years in a row.
Hoyt was on a mission to bring home the finer points of the $141 billion budget to the people of Cattaraugus County and the Southern Tier.
He touted the budget's education provisions as making schools a priority. Along with statewide teacher evaluations tied to state aid, as well as aid for State University of New York and City University of New York programs, Hoyt said the budget restores state aid back to what can be called its high points.
That claim was questioned a bit by Kathy Elser, Olean City School District business officer. Taking a look at the current aid levels, and where they stand in relation to the 2008-2009 funding year, she asked Hoyt if Cuomo has plans of closing the gap in school aid.
"Yes, there is an increase in state aid to the district," she said, "but we are still not to the levels of the 2008-2009 school year."
One of the hottest topics to hit the state, according to Hoyt, has been the call for mandate reform. Olean City Mayor Linda Witte continued that call, asking about what has become one of the largest portions of municipal budgets: pension costs.
"Pension costs are hurting the municipalities," she said. "If we look at the firemen in the city, we have to pay 100 percent of their pension costs. I realize that is a hot-potato issue for many politicians, but is there any relief coming?"
Although not directly saying it, Hoyt hinted that state officials will now be able to spend the remainder of their legislative term dealing with these issues. He said his time in the Assembly was often spent passing budgets and going home, never being able to focus on other issues of importance to the people of New York State.

KINGSTON, Jamaica (AP) — Antigua & Barbuda will pursue trade sanctions against the United States as a result of its online betting ban.
Antigua Finance Minister Harold Lovell told The Associated Press on Sunday that the Caribbean country has had its "back pushed right up against the wall." He says it intends to pursue $21 million in annual sanctions on U.S. goods unless a last minute settlement is reached.
Antigua's access to the U.S. gambling market was effectively blocked by a 2006 U.S. law barring banks and credit card companies from processing payments to online gambling sites outside the country.
In 2007, the World Trade Organization awarded Antigua the right to target U.S. services, copyrights and trademarks.
The WTO ruling capped the annual trade sanctions at $21 million per year.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) — A nanny charged with injuring a 1-year-old Massachusetts girl who later died has been in the country illegally for about a decade after arriving from Ireland as a tourist, immigration officials said Tuesday.
Aisling McCarthy Brady was ordered held on $500,000 bail after pleading not guilty to a charge of assault and battery on a child causing injury. But authorities said she could be charged with murder after an autopsy is complete on Rehma Sabir, the Cambridge baby hospitalized with head injuries on Jan. 14 — her first birthday.
Prosecutors allege Brady was the only person with the child when she sustained her injuries. She died two days after being hospitalized with what authorities called head injuries and healing bone fractures.
During Tuesday's court appearance, Brady's attorney denied her client injured the child, saying Rehma had recently traveled overseas — including trips to Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and London — and was found to be malnourished after coming back to the U.S.
Immigration officials said Brady, of Quincy, had been living in the U.S. illegally since 2002, when she arrived from Ireland under the Visa Waiver Program. She was only authorized to stay 90 days, Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials said.
ICE spokesman Ross Feinstein said Brady will be turned over to immigration authorities after the local case is adjudicated.
On Tuesday, two deliveries of white flowers waited for the victim's parents in the lobby of their brick building close to the Charles River in Cambridge. A man who answered the phone at a listing for the victim's family asked for privacy.
Prosecutors said Brady had civil restraining orders filed against her in the past.
Court records showed orders from Dorchester District Court in 2005 and 2012, the first stemming from an alleged bar altercation and the second relating to allegations that Brady posted false claims online saying another woman abused children.
Records also showed a 2007 assault and battery case against Brady was dropped.
No one answered the door at Brady's residence Tuesday, but a Quincy nonprofit official remembered the woman as a former volunteer.
Interfaith Social Services Executive Director Rick Doane spoke of the defendant as a pleasant person who helped stock shelves and hand out food in the past, but not for about two years.

EDISON — Middlesex County College will hold an adjunct faculty recruitment fair Thursday, March 31, at which prospective adjunct instructors can talk with department chairpersons about openings at the college.
"This is a convenient way for professionals who would like to teach at the college level to find out about opportunities and even interview for available posts," said Dr. Karen L. Hays, vice president for academic and student affairs at the college.
The program will be held from 4 to 7 p.m. in the College Center Cafeteria C.
Most positions require a master's degree, and some disciplines call for other certifications as well. In some fields, relevant experience may be substituted for a master's degree; however, all college parallel courses require that the instructor have a minimum of a master's degree. Job applicants should download an application from the college's website, www.middlesexcc.edu/hr, complete it, and bring several resumes and a copy of an unofficial transcript.
The college is seeking people to teach in many academic areas, including: Art, Business, Criminal Justice, Computer Science, Economics, Accounting, Health and Recreation, English, Science, Computer Graphics, Liberal Arts, Mathematics, Land Surveying, Modern Languages, Theatre, Culinary Arts, Public Speaking, Retailing, Student Success, and English as a Second Language. There are several high-demand areas in which a number of positions are open, such as Anatomy and Physiology, Microbiology, General Biology, Forensic Accounting and Fraud Examination.
There is a critical need for adjuncts able to teach during the day. Also, given the academic preparation required for every major, there is a continuing need for instructors to teach reading, writing, and math courses at both the developmental and higher levels, as well as psychology, philosophy and health. Classes are offered during the day, evenings and on Saturday at the Edison campus and at the Centers in New Brunswick and Perth Amboy.
For more details go to the Middlesex web page: www.middlesexcc.edu/hr or call 1-732-906-4688.

(7 Days - Departs Daily on a Private Basis)
Arusha, Ngorongoro, Singita Grumeti Reserves (Serengeti)
This tour includes two of Tanzania's best game parks and is the perfect introduction to Tanzanian safari.
Begin with an overnight stay at a luxury lodge near Arusha, an area of lush, mountainous landscapes, Maasai settlements and coffee plantations.
Continue to Ngorongoro Conservation Area, a unique region of plains and volcanic highlands that is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The highlight of the area is the Ngorongoro Crater, a large volcanic caldera that is home to a wide variety of wildlife, including the Big Five as well as hippopotamus, which are otherwise uncommon in the area. Huge flocks of bright pink flamingoes may also be seen converging on the crater's lake. Stay at a luxury lodge perched on the crater's rim, and enjoy spectacular views and exciting game drives in the crater. If desired, we can also arrange for cultural touring—such as visits to local Maasai villages, markets and art galleries, working coffee plantations, or the Olduvai Gorge—or philanthropic activities.
Next, fly to Singita Grumeti Reserves, a private game concession at the edge of Serengeti National Park. The area is known for its abundant wildlife—including elephants, leopards and plentiful lions—as well as its ideal location, which offers prime opportunities to view the annual great wildebeest migration. Spend three nights in a stylish, riverside luxury safari lodge, and enjoy spectacular game drives—Grumeti Reserves' status as a private concession means you will be able to view wildlife unfettered and without crowds. If desired, also enjoy walking and night-time safaris, as well as game drives into neighboring Serengeti National Park. You will also have plenty of time to indulge in spa treatments, swim in the heated pool overlooking the water hole, and enjoy delicious gourmet meals. Return to Kilimanjaro, where you will be assisted to your international flight.
Our Tanzania tours and safaris include the very best safari guides and vehicles, and the most deluxe hotels and lodges in the country. We can arrange internal charter flights upon request, as well as special experiences such as hot-air balloon rides or horseback safaris.

Recycling opportunities grow
Better yet, don't buy it in the first place
Abby Walden believes that before Springfield residents start to consider recycling their trash, they should first be aware of the goods they are purchasing.
"Products that cannot be reused, you should think twice about buying them," Walden said. "Instead of buying plastic water bottles, look into getting a reusable water bottle that you can fill up at home and take with you."
Walden, an environmental studies graduate student at the University of Illinois Springfield and intern at City Water, Light and Power, said she is pleased to see Springfield is moving in a "positive direction" toward more recycling options.
"More and more products are able to be recycled. As we continue to move forward we will be able to offer a larger program for recycling products," Walden said.
Curbside recycling
What recycling options are available in Springfield? Mark Mahoney, director of public works for the City of Springfield, said homeowners or renters who want curbside recycling should contact their local waste hauler.
Not sure what can be recycled? Mahoney suggests visiting the city of Springfield's website (www.springfield.il.us/recycle.htm), which features a "Room to Room Guide" offering information and tips about recycling specific items in the typical home. The guide was created in 2008 and is currently being updated.
Mahoney said that his family of six recycles two full bins of recyclable materials a week, including everything from glass to cardboard.
"I generally separate the bottles and cans into one bin and then the paper and cardboard into another bin," Mahoney said, describing his recycling method. "I then sort them a little bit more and combine them for the Tuesday morning pickup."
Though it's most known for building affordable housing, Habitat for Humanity of Sangamon County provides an opportunity for people to recycle electronics.
Sarah Mackey, executive director of Habitat for Humanity of Sangamon County, said since the statewide ban on disposing of electronics (batteries, DVD players) in the trash went into effect at the beginning of the year, Habitat for Humanity of Sangamon County Restore has stepped up efforts to accept electronics recyclables.
"Five years ago, a lot of these electronics were ending up in landfills. So after the legislation passed we wanted to increase awareness about recycling electronics," Mackey said.
The Habitat for Humanity of Sangamon County Restore is at 1514 W. Jefferson St. in Springfield.
Athletic shoes
The Green Center at Lincoln Land Community College also promotes recycling by encouraging LLCC students and faculty to take an active role. Julie Bates, manager at the Green Center, said that LLCC has recycling events throughout the year that allow students and employees to bring in various recyclables such as paper, plastic, cardboard and cans.
"We have the basic recycling opportunities, but we also offer special recycling drives, such as during Earth Week, where students and employees are able to bring in other materials that they would like to recycle," Bates said. Earth Week is April 16-22.
"With this year's Earth Week, students and employees can bring in athletic shoes to recycle and then we will be working to get them to Nike, where they make them into things like rubber athletic courts."
Green Business Network
The GBNS, which began in 2010, is a nonprofit organization composed of local businesses that work to encourage environmental sustainability practices such as recycling, water conservation and energy efficiency.
Bill Mills, a volunteer for the GBNS and manager of the Energy Services division of CWLP, said GBNS specifically addresses recycling for businesses in Springfield through the Recycle Springfield Project.
"Most small- to medium-sized businesses in Springfield cannot afford the monthly charge to have a recycling dumpster – particularly if it is only for cardboard and occasionally paper – that commercial recyclers provide," Mills said. "The commercial recyclers do a fine job. We don't see that this program (RSP) in any way competes with them. What became fairly obvious to us is that a lot of materials that could be recycled were going into trash dumpsters."
Mills said the main obstacles for these businesses included the cost of the recycling dumpster and the cost of the service to have the dumpster emptied, which could range from $100 to $125 a month and "they typically only took cardboard, occasionally paper."
GBNS addressed this financial issue by partnering with Durr, Tillet and Kobylarz, Inc., a recycling company in Springfield, to provide free recycling dumpsters to small- and medium-size businesses and nonprofit organizations. Businesses qualify for the service by joining the GBNS and paying a one-time membership fee of $25.
DTK then set up a central drop-off site located at the corner of 11th and Madison streets for businesses and citizens to drop off their recyclable materials. Mills said the recycling dumpsters for RSP come in both a two cubic yard and a four cubic yard size.
For more information, visit the Green Business Network website at www.gbns.org.
Don't buy it
Wynne Coplea, director of college partnerships at Heartland Community College in Normal and former manager of waste and recycling for the city of Springfield, echoed Walden's earlier comments. Ultimately, Coplea says the consumer is the first line of defense in protecting the environment. She said products like Styrofoam egg cartons and juice boxes are difficult to recycle, so consumers should look for products in more recyclable containers.
"In some places those products are recyclable, but nowhere in the downstate area," Coplea said. "These materials are very tightly compressed. Paper, plastic and metal all together…..it's very difficult to get these materials apart and do any sort of viable recycling with them."

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A Los Angeles police officer pleaded not guilty Tuesday to an assault charge filed in the kicking of a handcuffed woman who later died.
Officer Mary O'Callaghan, 48, was allowed to go free without bail after her arraignment on the felony charge of assault under color of authority, district attorney's spokeswoman Jane Robison said.
Alesia Thomas, 35, died July 22, 2012, following a struggle with O'Callaghan and several other officers who tried to arrest Thomas at her home after her children, ages 12 and 3, were left outside a police station at 2 a.m.
The 228-pound Thomas resisted arrest, according to a report by the Police Commission. A dashboard camera in a police cruiser captured O'Callaghan kicking the handcuffed Thomas in the backseat seven times in the groin, abdomen and upper thigh, prosecutors said.
Thomas lost consciousness and later died at a hospital.
Judge Shelly Torrealba signed off on a request by the district attorney's office to keep the video from being released by prosecutors or defense attorneys to prevent tainting a potential jury, O'Callaghan's attorney Robert Rico said.
An autopsy found Thomas, a bipolar drug abuser, had cocaine in her system, but the cause of death was listed as undetermined because the struggle couldn't be excluded as a contributing factor. There were no internal injuries or bruising.
Rico said O'Callaghan never had a complaint against her upheld during her 19 years on the force and has an exemplary record. She's been relieved of duty without pay pending an administrative hearing.

Venice is known for its creative community and culture of openness, so it's perhaps no surprise that its current rebirth is due to a huge influx of technology and digital media companies, all seeking inspiration in our beachside bohemia.
With the new nickname "Silicon Beach" Venice has attracted leading companies such as Google, Microsoft Facebook and Snapchat with many others at the forefront of the information revolution grabbing offices here.
Compared to cutthroat Silicon Valley, Venice offers a more bohemian vibe and a beach. The air of opportunity and originality pervades plus the quality of life for employees is undeniable. Did we mention the beach?
Venice is one of the only communities in Los Angeles where you do not really need a car. You can bike or walk to work and go for a run along the oceanfront in your lunch hour. Art has always been at the center of the Venice locals and now more than ever that can be seen along the Venice Boardwalk and in weekly, monthly and annual events celebrating the diversity of local artists, writers, poets and musicians.
Some locals question whether Venice is compromising its heart and soul to allow for a new techie identity and all the infusion of money, new buildings and re-gentrification that naturally brings with it.
Abbot Kinney Blvd has recently been dubbed the coolest street in America by GQ magazine. Rose Avenue seems to be nipping at its heels as restaurants and new apartment buildings pop up almost over night. The question remains open for debate, and in Venice where free expression is intrinsic in its nature; the voices will definitely be heard.
Venice has always understood the changing world. Like most vibrant city neighborhoods, the face of Venice has had multiple identities. Abbot Kinney himself envisaged a cultural mecca, a 'Venice" of America. His vision certainly transformed over time from the original conception, but as a fertile ground for artists, actors, poets, musicians, hippies and forward thinkers, Venice progresses along the same liberal path it's founder imagined. And as Venice emerges into a new future, perhaps we need to give it more credit for embracing change with its spirit very much intact.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Sprint Nextel Corp, the No. 3 U.S. mobile service provider, said that it talked to four different companies about a potential deal before it announced its agreement to sell 70 percent of its shares to Japan's SoftBank Corp for $20 billion.
Sprint said in its proxy filing on Monday that it had talks with a company it referred to as company W between September 2011 and February 2012 about a potential combination but the talks did not result in a deal. It was likely referring to discussions with MetroPCS Communications, which Sprint came close to buying for $8 billion including debt last year, according to sources.
From May through September 2011, Sprint said that it had talks with another company it referred to as company X about a deal in which Sprint would acquire additional spectrum and that company's shareholders would receive substantial equity in Sprint. The pair would also enter other commercial arrangements.
In May 2012, Sprint said that it started talks with "company Y" regarding a potential combination with Sprint, after previously having discussed a potential business combination and a joint venture. Those discussions continued from time to time through September but ultimately did not lead to a deal, Sprint said.
After it started talks with Softbank in July last year, Sprint said that they had conceptual discussions about "a potential three-party transaction among Sprint, SoftBank and Company Y".
Sprint also noted that it discussed spectrum partnership opportunities with a fourth company it referred to as company Z from May 2012 until September 2012. When a Sprint executive discussed the possibility of a business combination with that company, the chief executive of company Z said that he "was currently focusing on certain regulatory issues" concerning his own company. He said that he believed that Sprint's market value at the time "was in excess of his view of Sprint's fundamental value."
Sprint declined to disclose the names of the companies it referred to in its proxy statement.

The following is a guest post from Neal Frankle, a Certified Financial Planner in Los Angeles who owns the financial blog Wealth Pilgrim. Neal has been a financial planner for the past twenty-seven years and is writing this article on shizennougyou to share what he has learned from his experiences with clients over these three decades.
Even if you've been pursuing in your career for only a couple of years, you've already learned a great deal about your profession and people in general. I've had the same experience. Twenty-seven years ago, one of the small business ideas I had was to become a financial planner. And over that period, I've learned quite a few lessons about Wall Street, my clients, and myself.
What I've learned about Wall Street
Everything you hear about Wall Street isn't true –- but most of it is. I've found that the higher up you go in management, the more detached and greedy "the machine" becomes. In fact, I'm astounded by the depths to which some firms go to enrich themselves at the expense of investors. Having said that, I must say that I'm not sure this attitude is any different from other industries.
Since I spent very little time working in corporate America I don't know this for sure, but my guess is that all large corporations encourage political jockeying and self-serving behavior. Wall Street is no different. Take the index annuity product as an example.
When these babies were first introduced, they were some of the best investments I'd ever seen. They allowed investors to participate in growth when the market was good and protected investors from declining markets. But over time, the fat cats got wise. They realized that they could play with the way those indexes were calculated and thereby keep more profit for themselves at the expense of investors. Now, index annuities are terrible investments. This is just one of many examples.
I've also learned that competition sometimes works, and the mutual fund industry is a great example of this. Mutual fund fees and expenses have been dropping relentlessly over time as competition increases from Exchange Traded Funds. In short, in the debate between exchange-traded funds and mutual funds, ETFs and index funds are wining hands down.
Last, I learned that the fee structure an advisor uses says a lot about the relationship clients are going to have with the advisor. This may be self-serving because I'm a fee-only advisor. Fee-only advisors are compensated if and only if they serve clients over time. That doesn't mean they're going to do it, and it doesn't mean they know how to do a good job or that fee-only advisors are qualified. Anyone can become a financial planner.
Over the long-haul, advisors generally don't stay in business if they don't deliver. That's not the case with salespeople earning commissions. They get paid up front, and there is a disincentive to serve clients. Not every commission-based advisor is a shyster of course. But when someone is compensated to sell rather than advise, that's what they're going to do.
My experience is that commissions put advisors and clients on opposite sides of the table. Generally, the reverse is true when it comes to fee-based planners. Again, this is a generalization and there are many exceptions on both sides of the equation, but for the most part, I've experienced this to be true.
What I've learned about clients
I've learned that people dislike losing money more than they enjoy making money. This aversion to losing money is unfortunately and paradoxically the very reason why many investors get wiped out. If someone has no ability to absorb investment losses, they'll do one of two things. One potential response is to stick all the money in the bank for protection. Over time, this is a losing proposition.
The other response is to invest emotionally. When the market feels good, this investor becomes aggressive. When the market feels scary, this person goes into cash. This is a perfect recipe for disaster, of course. It's called buying high and selling low, the opposite of how someone succeeds with investing.
I don't believe in the buy and hold strategy. There are other strategies that are more market-sensitive, and these can help investors mitigate losses and take advantage of good opportunities. That's how I manage money, but the method I believe in is far from perfect. It is a system and not an emotional reaction. This, like any other investment methodology, has its flaws.
Some people will tell you me that they want to be aggressive investors. That may be true — until the market turns against them. Just as I need constant education in areas I know little about, some people really need to be reminded frequently about the trade-off between risk and reward. Client understanding and education is not a one-time event.
Few clients have a financial plan and even those who do rarely execute it. They aren't clear on their objectives and they don't know how much they'll need to reach their goals. (Do you know how much money you need to retire?) This is a real shame. I've seen people with very low salaries living their dream life because they formulated a plan and executed it, and I know multi-millionaires who are absolutely miserable and live in fear. That's because they don't understand the basics of financial planning and refuse to learn it.
What I've learned about myself
I've learned a great deal about myself over the last quarter century as a financial planner. The most important lesson I've learned is that I can't do better than my best. I used to be harder on myself than any of my clients were. In fact, during the 2008 market melt-down, clients called because they were worried about me, not their money. While my clients' investments happened to be performing better than the market that year, we still lost money. I didn't like that and I felt as though I had let my clients down. I was mistaken to feel this way, but I felt that way nonetheless.
I've learned that if I did my best, that was good enough. If it wasn't good enough for a client, that was the client's problem, not mine. I've learned that most people are good, honest and responsible. Let me tell you, when you deal with a person's money you really get to know them. As the years pass, I'm more and more impressed by the inherent good I see in others.
I have no plans to retire. I enjoy what I do too much. I believe that the future has a great deal of opportunities ahead, and its share of challenges, as well. The most important thing I've learned is that I have no idea what's coming down the pike. That's what makes being a financial planner so fascinating.
What have you learned about yourself, others and your profession over the last several years? Were you surprised?

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A deal to loan Mark Martin to Joe Gibbs Racing as a replacement driver for injured Denny Hamlin fell apart Friday, when Michael Waltrip Racing said Martin will fulfill his commitment to their team.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A deal to loan Mark Martin to Joe Gibbs Racing as a replacement driver for injured Denny Hamlin fell apart Friday, when Michael Waltrip Racing said Martin will fulfill his commitment to their team.
The announcement from MWR came roughly 24 hours after JGR said Martin will take over the No. 11 Toyota next weekend at Martinsville and drive the car until Hamlin returns from a fractured vertebra in his lower back. Hamlin is expected to miss at least five races.
It means Martin can now only drive Hamlin's car at Martinsville, a track not on his schedule. Brian Vickers, who drives for JGR in the Nationwide Series, was scheduled to drive Martin's car for MWR at Martinsville.
MWR said Martin will return to his regular car after Martinsville and "resume his previously scheduled run of events with MWR" for the rest of the season.
"I think it is great that a driver of Mark's caliber is available to support our fellow Toyota team during this difficult time for them. We wish Denny a speedy recovery" said MWR founder and co-owner Michael Waltrip. "Mark is a big part of our organization and is committed to our sponsors, especially Aaron's and Toyota. We have a lot of goals yet to reach this year and we are very focused on accomplishing them."
It's believed a deal between the teams to swap Martin for Vickers in the Sprint Cup Series races had been completed, but JGR prematurely announced it before MWR sponsor Aaron's had given its approval. No reason has been given why Aaron's didn't approve the swap.
MWR has been eyeing Vickers as a potential replacement for Martin in the No. 55 Toyota, and Vickers is scheduled to run nine races for Martin this year. Because Vickers is seen as an option for that ride, MWR was in favor of loaning Martin to the Gibbs camp to get an extended look at Vickers in its equipment.
Instead, JGR must now put together a Plan B. The team made no immediate announcement as to who will drive for Hamlin beyond Martinsville, but JGR President J.D. Gibbs said Thursday the organization preferred just one driver for consistency sake.
Vickers had the commitment to MWR for the first race, and Elliott Sadler, the second driver in JGR's Nationwide Series camp, already has commitments to drive the Cup races at Kansas and Talladega in a fourth car for JGR.
It means Vickers will likely get the nod for Hamlin's car after Martinsville.

Watch how to make this recipe.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Cream the butter, then add both sugars and cream until fluffy. Add the eggs and beat slightly, then add the vanilla and beat until combined. Add the malted milk powder and beat until combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda and salt. Add to the butter mixture, beating gently until just combined. Add the chocolate chips and stir in gently.
Drop by teaspoonfuls (or use a cookie scoop) on an ungreased baking sheet, leaving plenty of space between the cookies (they spread out quite a bit). Bake for 9 to 11 minutes. The cookies will be very flat and very chewy. Allow to cool slightly before removing from pan with a spatula.
Optional: Allow to cool completely, then use 2 cookies to make an ice cream sandwich. Add sprinkles to the sides of the ice cream, then wrap individually in plastic wrap.

The MSCI All-Country World Index of stocks headed for the biggest drop in seven weeks. Global jewelry demand jumped 37 percent to 575.5 metric tons in the second quarter, and combined global bar and coin sales advanced 78 percent from a year earlier to an all-time high of 507.6 tons, with purchases more than doubling in India and China, the World Gold Council said in a report today. "Some people are looking at gold as a flight-to-quality instrument with the big selloff in the equity markets," Adam Klopfenstein, a senior market strategist at Archer Financial Services Inc. in Chicago, said in a telephone interview. "Physical demand is also supportive." Gold futures for December delivery jumped 2 percent to $1,359.60 an ounce at 1:04 p.m. on the Comex in New York. Earlier, the price reached $1,363, the highest for a most-active contract since June 19. Through yesterday, gold plunged 20 percent this year, entering a bear market in April as some investors lost faith in the commodity as an alternative investment amid a U.S. equity rally and low inflation. The value of global exchange-traded products backed by the metal plunged by $58 billion. Billionaire John Paulson cut holdings in the SPDR Gold Trust, the biggest ETP, by 53 percent in the second quarter, a government filing showed yesterday. Soros Fund Management LLC and Daniel Loeb's Third Point sold their entire stakes in the fund, separate filings showed. Silver futures for September delivery advanced 3.5 percent to $22.545 an ounce on the Comex. Earlier, the price reached $22.62, the highest for a most-active contract since June 7. --With assistance from Jeanna Smialek in Washington and Glenys Sim in Singapore.

Kernel builds with gcc
Linux 2.4
The recommended compiler for building Linux 2.4 is gcc 2.95. New compilers upto gcc 3.3 have been used successfully to build the kernel however with gcc 3.4 there may be problems when certain configurations. With Linux 2.4 being in deep freeze mode we generally don't intend to fix such problems but rather recommend to use an older compiler for the kernel.
The latest "official" GCC 2 is version 2.95.3. The GCC 2.96 is unofficial massively patched version. It provides more efficient optimization with -O2, more strict syntax checkhing and supports more recent C++ standarts. Unfortuntely, C++ ABI is not compatible with "official" 2.95.3 nor 3.0.
Linux 2.6
Any gcc version between 3.0 and 3.4 may be used and is fully supported. Gcc 4.0 is still considered experimental at this point so not recommended where reliability.
At December, 2005 Andrew Morton has dropped a support for 2.95 in the Linux 2.6 . See a discussion.

Yale Pre-Season Pick of ECAC Hockey
O'Neill, Miller on All-ECAC Team
NEW HAVEN, Conn. - They have won two of the last three conference regular season titles and tournament championships, and the Yale men's ice hockey team has been picked to finish first this season by the ECAC Hockey coaches and media. The 2011-12 ECAC Hockey pre-season polls and all-conference teams were announced today.
The Elis, defending conference tournament champions, are coming off a 28-7-1 campaign that ended with a loss in the NCAA East Regional Final against eventual national champion Minnesota Duluth.
The Bulldogs, ranked 8th and 9th in the two major pre-season Division I polls, had a pair of forwards, senior Brian O'Neill (Yardley, Pa.) and junior Andrew Miller (Bloomfield Hills, Mich.), picked by both the media and coaches for the all-conference team.
O'Neill, the new captain, had 12 goals and 25 points in 22 conference outings in 2010-11. His goal total was second among ECAC players while he tied Chace Polacek of Rensselaer, the conference player of the year, for the points lead. One of three finalists for the conference player of the year award, O'Neill had a hat trick at Clarkson and had a point in all but four games overall last winter.
Miller, who played on the same line as O'Neill, scored nine times and had 27 points in ECAC games. His 1.23 points per game average and 18 assists were both tops in the conference. He had 11 multiple-point outings last winter including a four-assist contest against Union in December and a two-goal game against Cornell at New Haven.

Rx Create Your Inner Advisor
You can use this type of imagery to explore the meaning of your symptoms or illness, and what you can do to improve your health. This imagery is a means of two-way communication between your mind and your body.
Begin with a general imagery exercise such as Creating a Special Place. Once you have entered your special place, invite an inner advisor to come and visit you.
Use all your senses to watch for your advisor, as the advisor may take any shape or form. Or you may have several inner advisors. They may be a person, a voice, an object, or a symbol. If you are not comfortable with what emerges, send him/her/it away, and invite another advisor.
Once you are comfortable with your advisor, ask questions. Feel free to ask anything, such as:
Are you my inner advisor?
How can I relax?
What is causing my tension? Pain? Symptom?
What do I need to do to feel better?
Who can help me?
Then wait for the answers. Be patient. They may come in any form: a picture, image, sound, word, phrase, feeling. They can come at any time. Think about what they mean to you.
Sometimes you may be surprised at the directness and clarity of an answer. In response to "What is causing my anger" one person heard back, "You need to learn to say no." If the meaning or usefulness is not clear to you right away, don't worry. It may become clearer in the days or weeks ahead.
You can use a similar technique to have an inner dialogue with a symptom you are having. For example, if you are in pain, give it a color, shape or form. Then ask your pain questions:
Why are you here?
What can I learn from you?
When will you go away?
How can we live more peaceably together?
How can I get better?
Wait for responses. This dialogue can be done with any symptom or problem.
You have untapped knowledge, insight, and wisdom which is often drowned out by the incessant chatter of a busy mind. You can use imagery techniques to give voice to your inner wisdom, and consult your own inner advisor. There is nothing mysterious or magical about it. Simply by quieting down and bringing your mind into a focused and receptive state, valuable insights can emerge. These include suggestions on how to improve your health and well-being.
Adapted from Martin Rossman, MD and the Academy for Guided Imagery
Rx Imagine Yourself Well
You have the ability to create special imagery to alleviate specific symptoms or illnesses. Use any image that is strong and vivid for you (this often involves using all your senses to create the image), and one that is meaningful to you.
The image does not have to be physiologically accurate for it to work. Just use your imagination and trust yourself. Here are examples of images that some people have found useful. Use any of these images, or make up your own.
Remember, the best ones are vivid and have meaning to you.
For Tension and Stress
A tight, twisted rope slowly untwists
Wax softens and melts
Tension swirls out of your body and down the drain
For Healing of Cuts and Injuries
Plaster covers over a crack in a wall
Cells and fibers stick together with superglue
A shoe is laced up tight
Jigsaw puzzle pieces come together

If I'm not mistaking, creationists' arguments goes something like this: "Things left alone without any kind of external intervention, tend to chaos, disorder and randomness"... and I suspect this is important due to the fact that mutations are random and chaotic?
... it's an understandable mistake.
Well, that's the thing - creationists are typically unwilling to consider that evolution could work through anything but randomness and chaos.
They can't conceive of modification through anything but intervention from a sentient agent. Therefore they can only consider natural selection in terms of a conscious entity that decides what lives and what dies.
It all stems from puddle thinking. When you begin from the assumption that everything that exists was created just for you it's impossible to conceive of anything coming about that's not in accordance with some grand design.

How many people are under the misconception that Section 8 Housing can be found "somewhere else" but not behind the gated walls of many of Florida's well-manicured condominium, cooperative and homeowners' associations? Think again. You might be surprised to find Section 8 tenants living in beachfront condos and 5-bedroom homes in country club communities.
The Housing Choice Voucher Program sponsored by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is more often known by the name Section 8. Qualified applicants who meet certain income requirements receive vouchers used to subsidize the cost of housing. HUD's goal is to provide housing to low and very low income families. Generally, the family's income cannot exceed 50% of the median income for the county or metropolitan area in which the family chooses to live.
Here's the part that most folks don't understand. The family that is issued a housing voucher is responsible for finding a suitable housing unit of the family's choice where the owner agrees to rent under the terms of the Section 8 program. These rental properties must meet certain minimum standards of health and safety but other than that, if the family and the landlord agree, any property is conceivably eligible to take part in the program.
Here's where your community comes into the equation. It is no secret that many owners have experienced or are experiencing financial difficulties in many communities. Some of these owners traditionally rented out their homes or units and others are now being forced to do so as a result of the economy. Section 8 tenants are looking more appealing to many landlords since the Public Housing Agencies for the various counties are a reliable source for their share (usually about 2/3 while the tenant pays 1/3) of the rent each month.
For properties in more upscale communities, meeting the government's criteria for health and safety is not really an issue. Also, the housing voucher is generally larger for properties with more space to accommodate larger families so these upscale properties fit the bill in that regard as well. Owners who are intereseted in participating in the Housing Voucher program can list their properties at GoSection8.com.
The way this works is that the family and landlord sign a lease. The landlord and the Public Housing Agency sign a housing assistance payments contract that runs for the same time as the lease agreement. Some associations are now trying to deny leases where the tenant will be receiving Section 8 assistance. Boards should not attempt to do so without speaking to their association attorney to determine if such denial is legal and supported by their governing documents.
For some communities, having Section 8 tenants has been a positive experience as it has kept homes out of foreclosure. Another added bonus is the fact that those same Public Housing Agencies who pay their share of the rent timely each month must also pay if the owner of the property becomes delinquent in the payment of his or her assessments to the association. Some Public Housing Agencies have tried to argue that the demand for rent statutes do not apply to them but this argument has been successfully defeated in court. Lastly, housing experts say that Section 8 tenants in more upscale communities have benefitted from exposure to communities they otherwise would not have known.
The mention of Section 8 Housing need not strike terror in your hearts. Get informed and discuss the pros and cons of the program with your association attorney before making decisions or taking action.

The ENGS 21 Experience
Dartmouth's Introduction to Engineering
"The experience—not only the designing, but getting my hands dirty and building something—is rewarding. It solidified my interest in engineering." —Kyle Betts '10
Your very first engineering course, Introduction to Engineering—a.k.a. ENGS 21—will challenge you to develop a novel solution to a real-life problem, such as saving energy, helping children learn, or easing life for people with physical disabilities. You'll team up with classmates to define the problem and solve it by designing a device or system. You'll research patents to make sure your idea has never been done before. You'll create a business plan just as if you were taking your product to market. You'll build and test a prototype and present your project to a professional review board.
Thayer faculty and the Dartmouth Entrepreneurial Network can help you develop your idea. Some ENGS 21 projects have been so innovative that students have patented their devices en route to bringing them to market—like the stabilizing Jyrobike (formerly Gyrobike), which won a Breakthrough Award from Popular Mechanics. ENGS 21 projects have even led to new companies.
The next great idea is waiting to happen. Discover yours in ENGS 21.

PHOENIX, July 9 (Reuters) - Thousands of mourners, including firefighters from around the country and U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, were expected to converge in central Arizona on Tuesday to pay final tribute to 19 young firemen killed last week in the line of duty.
The fallen members of the Granite Mountain Hotshots, an elite firefighting squad from Prescott, Arizona, were overrun by flames on the afternoon of June 30 as they battled a lightning-sparked blaze with hand tools outside the tiny town of Yarnell.
The tragedy marked the greatest loss of life from a U.S. wildfire in 80 years, and the highest number of American firefighters killed in a single incident since the Sept. 11, 2001, attack on the World Trade Center in New York.
Precise circumstances of the firefighters' deaths in Arizona remain under investigation.
But authorities have said the 19 specially trained firefighters, most of them in their 20s, apparently became trapped in seconds as a burst of gale-force winds from an approaching thunderstorm drove flames back in their direction.
The team quickly deployed cocoon-like personal protective shelters in a last-ditch effort to take cover, but some of the men never even made it into the foil-coated capsules.
The disaster sent waves of shock and grief through the firefighters' hometown of Prescott, a city of 40,000 people some 60 miles (100 km) northwest of Phoenix, the state capital.
"Many of the people in this town knew some of those firefighters, or at least knew some of their families," said David Eaker, a spokesman for organizers of Tuesday's memorial service.
The event was scheduled for late morning at an entertainment and sports arena in the adjacent town of Prescott Valley. Organizers set up overflow space outside to handle a crowd expected to exceed the arena's seating capacity of around 6,000.
Biden was slated to lead a group of dignitaries also set to include U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and Arizona Governor Jan Brewer, as well as representatives of fire departments from across the United States. Biden and Brewer will speak at the event.
The sole surviving member of the Granite Mountain team, Brendan McDonough, was scheduled to read an offering titled "The Hot Shot's Prayer." McDonough was acting as a lookout for the crew about a mile (1.5 km) away from his colleagues and on higher ground when they were overrun by flames. He escaped unhurt.
While the memorial service is open to the public, individual funerals for the fallen firefighters are to be held privately in coming days, Eaker said.
On Sunday, a solemn procession of 19 white hearses escorted by police on motorcycles brought the remains of the fire crew home to the Prescott area from Phoenix, where autopsies were performed. But the caskets will not be present for Tuesday's service.
The so-called Yarnell Hill fire, one of dozens of wildland blazes that have raged across several western states this summer, charred 8,400 acres (3,400 hectares) of thick, tinder-dry chaparral, oak scrub and grasslands after erupting on June 28. Scores of homes in and around Yarnell were destroyed.
As of Monday, crews had managed to carve containment lines around 90 percent of the smoldering fire's perimeter. Evacuation orders also were lifted for the last of the residents forced from their homes more than a week ago in Yarnell and the nearby town of Peeples Valley.

Here's an oversize postcard for a couple of weekend's worth of shows at the Fillmore West in San Francisco, November, 1970. It is Thanksgiving themed, which accounts for the way in which the Native American figure in the center, who's breaking an arrow, appears to be showing his displeasure (at the time, a group of Native Americans were living on Alcatraz in San Francisco Bay as a protest over the broken treaties).
Norman Orr produced only a dozen or so gorgeous pieces for Bill Graham, but then pretty much hung up his brushes and pursued a career in woodworking (he's equally amazing at that).
This card, which has a horizontal fold because it was mailed to me, is probably most notable for the fact that Black Sabbath was the opening act during one of the two weekends advertised. Joe Walsh was with James Gang at the time. The following weekend was a classic Bill Graham favorites line up.
