The Top Ten
That was my favorite candy when I was a kid. Still is. You have to love the crunch and caramel in every Twix bar. MM
The Gods were angry at man. They saw the corruption, the evil, and the tyranny in our world. There was no good in our race so they planned to eradicate us off the planet. The future was bleak and as the black clouds of a raging tempest gathered overhead, one man knew he most prove our worth. The man worked tirelessly to show the good in man, he urged his people to assist in the production of something to symbolize good, but no one cared. They laughed and ignored his cries, while eating their bland chocolate bars. But this one man saw the only items worth living, caramel, chocolate, and cookies. He quickly produced the symbol of purity and love, named it "Twix" and offered it to the Gods. As they tasted his creation they smiled, and decided man is not all bad, and allowed us to live so twix may continue. So forget not the work our ancestor did to ensure our survival, eat a twix and you will be reminded of the inherent good in this world. Life is good. Twix. It's all in the mix.
Chocolate, caramel, biscuit = Twix - the best candy bar ever!

[newest]Twix is the tastiest bar in my poop
Love snickers. Once I had bought a pack of snickers; however my mother traded it with my aunt for dairy milk. I mean come on!
Best chocolate bar I don't know why Twix is number 1 Snickers should be number 1
Snicke is the best! I eat them none stop! They are bars of awesomeness! AMAZING. FLAVORFUL. Chocolate. Carmel. With last but, not least COOKIES!
More comments about Snickers

More comments about Kit-Kat
[newest]If you don't love kit kat, you'r taste buds suck! This chocolate bar is preety good and I like it, I purchased 10 of them in the airport and they were so good.
4Hershey Bar
You can't beat the Original
I LOVE HERSHEY! I love the dark chocolate type. It's the best! It's number 1 on my list.
I do not like any of these candy bars except for Hershey, Kit-Kat, and Crunch. But I like this one the best
More comments about Hershey Bar
[newest]How could you pick twix as number one they are disgusting Hershey bars are so amazing that dark chocolate is by far my favorite candy ever thank you Mr Hershey!
5Milky Way
Milky Way is the best! I love how the nougat melts into the caramel and chocolate. It makes the perfect candy bar. Nothing is better than the Milky Way!
It is creamy with caramel that melts in your! what could every taste better? milky way is number one on my list and it will number one soon on yours, try a milky way!
Its your favorite!
Its your favorite!
Caramel and nougat and chocolate... What could be better?
More comments about Milky Way
[newest]Milky cream filling with a delicious choco layer! Mmm!
With other candy bars, you get tired of them and you start to crave cheese. But with Butterfinger, you just crave more Butterfinger. I always look at the empty wrapper and remember my wonderful candy bar. YUM!
this has always been my fav cb ever and I mean ever and I'm only a kid
Butterfinger is probably like the best one on here! Love 'em.
More comments about Butterfinger
[newest]Reese's are for scrubs, but butterfinger is for men.
73 Musketeers
Three musketeers taste so good I could marry them if I could choose one food to have for breakfast lunch and dinner I would diffidently pick three musketeers because I love the filling stuff inside and the chocolate outside and put together it taste even better it taste like heaven that is how much I like three musketeers I mean whoever invented them is a genius because they are so good if three musketeers didn't exist I don't know what I would do because I eat them when I am sad and lonely in kindergarten my would pack one in my lunch every day just to get me to actually go to school but the teacher took it away every day and she ate it she told my mom I was allowed to eat them in school but that was just so she could take them away and she could get free candy and she made me cry I never forgot that time
Chocolate overload! Perfect for chocoholics such as myself. I lost count of how many I ate during my college classes!
3 Musketeers VS. KIT KAT
3 musketeers is better than kit kat because so many people ate so many of them they can't keep track of how many they ate during college. . They melt in your mouth like your in a dream. They also are really tasty. Plus it has squishy chocolate inside.

just the right sized orginal chocolate snack for me!
9100 Grand
I don't always eat candy bars, but when I do, I prefer 100 Grand!
100 grands are amazing but the bar isn't very big so they definitely need to make the bar bigger or else they aren't going to have very good sales in the next couple of years
LOVE this one, but for some reason I can only find it in certain stores. Ralphs, Vons, those places near me don't sell them but THANK GOD for the 99 cent store. Cheaper there too!
More comments about 100 Grand
[newest]This candy is bomb!
10Hershey's Cookies and Cream Bar
THIS IS so GOOD! If I could have a million at one time I would eat them non stop they are amazing and no candy beats it no matter what people say! This voting is crap unless you vote jerseys cookies and cream!

11Mars Bar
yum yum yum yum yum yum yum
Blows the Milky Way out of the water. Tastes so much sweeter, harder, and better.
My little brother loves this and me to, they are very good but not as good as the one above, mars is still tasty and is good.More comments about Mars Bar
12Baby Ruth
Are you kidding? This is the bar of choice for me, Sloth, Chunk and Babe Ruth. it's the best
How on Earth is this not top 25? Please vote this up to where it belongs... The Goonies are mad at you guys!
Great blend of chocolate and other goodies.
More comments about Baby Ruth
[newest]Can not believe this candy bar is not in top 5. Excellent combination of flavors.
It might be one of the most expensive, but at the same time one of the finest and therefore the greatest chocolate you could EVER TASTE!
Yeah, Toblerone! Swiss chocolate just can't be beat. The best is with raisins and nuts.
My grandpa always used to buy me this. I was dead in the inside when he had passed away. Now I swear that I will always love this and that it will always be my fave chocolate everMore comments about Toblerone
14Almond Joy
Coconut. Almonds. Chocolate. No rage, no hate, no conflict, just pure blissful joy. A fitting and honest name for a mass-produced delicacy in an attractive wrapper. This magical delight will bring about world peace and save the planet.
They are coconut almonds and chocolate all together they should be at least number ten
Cocoanut and Chocolate. It's simply the greatest candy bar there is. I am a huge cocoanut fan as I can eat a bag as is, but then add chocolate to it and suddenly I find myself in heaven. You all should too!More comments about Almond Joy
15Take 5
This is the best candy bar ever... It is the most underrated candy bar. They should be selling this candy bar in more stores, I can barely find them anywhere. This is like a hipster's dream come true, haha. Its like a combination of twix, kit kat, with a awesome pretzel inside that compliments the sweetness. BEST CANDY BAR EVER.
How have I not discovered this candy bar sooner. Mere words are not enough to describe how delicious this candy is.. And I'm not even a big candy bar fan. I'd heard of the candy before but assumed it was one of those nasty candy bars no one wants in their Halloween bag. I should be mad at the person who introduced me to how awesome and underrated these are.. because this realization will certainly add 2-5 lbs.
I used to work at an independent cinema. When we started selling this candy I lost it! Where had this delicious creation been all my life? It really has everything I'm looking for in a candy... Except for negative calories.More comments about Take 5
16Cadburys Dairy Milk
Well this must be in the top 10, I mean beside being popular, it has many flavors such as nuts, fruits, waffle, caramel...etc
And each one is tastier than the other, Twix rocks but Dairy Milk is much better
And each one is tastier than the other, Twix rocks but Dairy Milk is much better
Cadburys probably the best chocolate in the world. Hersey bars are disgusting compared to cadburys and nestle.
Cadburys chocolate is really nice. Much better than the chocolate you get in the USA such as Hershey bars!More comments about Cadburys Dairy Milk
17Mr. Goodbar
The perfect candy bar. It should be number 1. I believe it would be more popular if they advertised it more. I never see commercials for Mr. Goodbar.
Best combination of flavor.
So good! Hershey, please promote this bar so people will realize it is amazing.More comments about Mr. Goodbar
Tell me 'bout it it rocks baby so bubbly and refreshing and no one can tell because you smell so minty afterwards and how the hell do they get it so GORGEOUSLY green man? It should be top not stupid twix they should replace the x with a t and it'd make more sense
This is a great Chocolate Bar. The only reason it won't be number 1 is because I don't think it's available in the USA.
why the hell isn't this in the top 1 it is the best chocolate bar EVER!
bruinsfanMore comments about Aero
Best chocolate ever. The crunch and sweetness of it is just so amazing and everyone should have it all of the time
I'm pretty sure this candy bar was sent from the gods. It's so delicious and yummy! It melts right in your mouth and has the awesome crunchy toffee. I think imma go eat Heath bar now.
Amazing bar. The English Toffee and creamy Milk Chocolate just blend together and make a heaven-like feeling in you mouth. By far the BEST tasting candy bar ever.More comments about Heath
20Wonka Bar
Oh yeah the best candy on the block
Wonka bars well they leave me speechless they are so good
Its crunchie so no comments am the biggest fan of that gorgeous chocolate ever... Its easy.. Am in love with it...
Its crunchie so no comments am the biggest fan of that gorgeous chocolate ever... Its easy.. Am in love with it...
Why is this chocolate bar only number 25? I think it is amazing, and has the greatest candy center of them all (although toblerone is a very close second)
CRUNCHIE BARS IS THE BEST! It's not too intensely sweet, and the crunch when you bite it is absolutely amazing. YES! FAVORITE!More comments about Crunchie
Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, the best candy ever. I cannot believe it isn't in the top 5. I'm Loving Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. Truly scrumptious & delicious. My grown Children try to get me the biggest Reese's Cup they can find. One Year my Son bought me a Giant Reese's Peanut Butter Heart. My Son passed away in April 2012. I Loved him so much. I have two other grown Children & they are always trying to Find a bigger Reese's than the Heart, but they haven't found a Bigger one. How about a
Giant Reese's Egg or Rabbit for Easter.
Giant Reese's Egg or Rabbit for Easter.
Maybe people don't think this is a candy bar. That is the only reasonable expectation of why Reese's are so low. I love this sweet treat so much my oldest son has it for a name. My biggest problem when I go to pick out candy is if it's going to be cups or pieces, but it is always Reese's.
"You got your chocolate in my peanut butter! " "You got peanut butter on my chocolate! " "YUM! " Reese's Peanut Butter Cups are by far the best candy on this list. You crave them all the time, and they never get old! I. CANNOT. BELIEVE. THEY.R. iN. THE. 22. PLACE. Life is over. Enough said.More comments about Reese's
Salty sweet, nutritious, eat it slow, eat it fast, either way it hits the spot.
Peanuts! Yummy the caramel melts in your mouth and you chomp down on those delicious nuts
What! M this should be number 3 at least. So good. Maybe I'm just crazy...More comments about PayDay
I love how it doesn't have chocolate. Such a good flavor. Try one!

26Fast Break
They is so dang good yum it is like eating a baby angel so delicious I would eat them all day om nom nom makes me drool thinking about it
Absolutely amazing! Love all the nougat and the peanut butter. Kind of like a Reeses on steroids. By the way, what is nougat? I find it a little alarming that I don't know.
The first time I ate a fast break it became my favorite candy bar! I felt bad since I had been loyal to milky ways the previous 35 years! I think it is perfection.
Square this bar up to the others and you'll see it has quite a kick above the rest!
Chunky; what a chuck a chocolate.More comments about Chunky
28Galaxy Caramel
Its bloody lush put in the top 20 at least mate
Makes a cool yummmy treat for my tummy after I eat.
You like dark chocolate and coconut flakes? This one's for you. Mounds' sister candy, Almond Joy, has milk chocolate and almonds with coconut. Both are incredible.
The best for me. I love dark chocolate and coconut. This is what God gives you after entering Heaven. The fat makes me not too hungry yet is "light", plus the calories keep me going. I eat these rarely since it could become so addictive, I would fear an early grave.
Dark chocolate is the best! Milk chocolate is like drinking a light beer -- not worth the time!More comments about Mounds
31Lion Bar
Lion bar is not so bad also its equally good in taste as Take 5
I only heard of these in Iceland! They exist else where?
Very good! Exist in Bulgaria!
Why why WHY! Is this at number 48. Are you seriously telling me that there are 48 chocolate bars that are nicer than Wispa, that is CRAZY. It is just so soft and so nice, it's like areo but even better although, no mint flavour. Just thinking about it is making me drool. It is just one of the best things that you can put into your mouth and you put it at 48! Discraseful!
Have you guys ever tried a wispa gold? It is exactly the same as a wispa bar but it contains a think long line of deliciously smooth caramel!
I can't live without wispa!
33Double Decker
34Cadbury Creme Egg Twisted
Amazing love love love love love it but I think it needs to be bigger
When I open a box of heroes I always take out these delicious!
35Godiva Dark Chocolate Bar
Mm caramely goodness so delightful. Makes me taste buds scream for more.
the milk chocolate is delicious
Best candy bar ever. It takes me back to my youth. When I was 8 years old my grand dad bought me my first one. I can remember the taste, the touch, the feel, to this very day. Absolutely amazing.
So good. I love this candy bar. I believe, honestly, that America was founded on the zero bar. Mr. Washington, we love you. Thanks. I do believe I will eat one right away.
Heavy flavorful noughat and white chocolate. So God!

42Goldenberg's Peanut Chews
Peanut chews are delicious straight from the fridge or right off of the shelve. They are great to share in a crowd. The best mini candy bars ever.

Best candy bar ever philly rules!

Absolutely. Its a Clark bar with a cover of sugary nut-like taffylike candy.
Only candy bar with no chocolate.
This is one candybar that needs RESPECT, it is delicious!
515th Avenue
Literally delicious.. I just had my first one like thirty seconds ago.. It prompted me to Google "5th avenue candy bar delicious, " and I found this page.. Instant convert.. New favorite.. They need a better marketing strategy
5th Ave doesn't have 100% milk chocolate anymore, but it still beats Butterfinger which has zero real chocolate!
I eat em. I put them in my mouth. I chew them. I swallow them. I lick my lips of them. I believe in them.More comments about 5th Avenue
My parents lived in Switzerland so I grew up on Lindt bars and am a total chocolate snob. When I try to branch out and buy some fancy $6 bar of fair trade pretentious hippy chocolate I always regret it. Because it is always a let down in the texture and flavor department. My favorite lindt has to be dark chocolate orange but I also go for sea salt and chili all the time. I've convinced myself that it is good for me.
This is my favourite choclate ever!
53Galaxy Ripple
Dis choco bar is awseome....

79Rocky Road
These seem to be from a bygone era with their red metallic wrap- but are of the very few; if any that have pecans, marshmallow and chocolate altogether in a Heavenly combination. Wow- when society ends and these are forgotten- they of the future will have said oh how good they really had it back then!
The chocolate bar ever

M&Ms and chocolate?! Yess please! And how cute is the actual candy bar :)More comments about M&Ms Chocolate Bar
The chocolate is amazing.. So much better than the cheap-tasting Herseys chocolate. M&Ms Chocolate Bar is way too underrated, and way better than their old M-Azing bar!

95Hershey's Symphony
Probably one of their best chocolate bar creations, ever! With toffee and nuts, along with a really creamy, buttery sweet milk chocolate. I still look for them this day, even though sadly they are in short supply and can't find them anywhere.
They don't make 'em anymore, but they were good and they lasted a long, long time.

Bland, uninspired dishes may be fast, but will you make them again? And clever gimmicks sound great, but in reality, they rarely make sense. The team at America's Test Kitchen has created more than 200 easy-to-make 30-minute recipes that guarantee impressive results with a minimum of effort. With our test kitchen know-how (and relentless testing) we found ways to make naturally fast dishes faster, and traditionally slow-cooked dinners a weeknight option. But one thing we never did was settle on shortcuts that shortchanged flavor. Some compromises simply aren't worth making.

In my conversations with customers and partners there is an issue which frequently comes up – the difference between targeting and personalization. I have heard the terms used interchangeably, so it only seems fair to explain the key differences as I see them. To sum it up, targeting is about marketer needs and personalization is about consumer needs. Both techniques can increase revenue but they come at it from ... Read More »
Everyone else makes up acronyms, so I figured I would too as a way to define what Newegg is doing with their #sharetosave program for the back to school season. As you can see from Baynote's Back to School Shopper Behavior Survey – Newegg is getting this right on a number of levels. Back to school for the college age group ... Read More »
With the back-to-school season in full swing, we wanted to survey consumers to see how they planned to shop and learn what was influencing their purchase decisions during this important retail time of year. Our Back to School Shopper Behavior Survey, which we created with the e-tailing group, tells an interesting story of what the back-to-school shopping trip looks like and what's driving decisions. When They Plan to Shop ... Read More »
If you read the news in e-commerce, you may know that retailer Nordstrom is considering the purchase of Trunk Club, a company focused on delivering hand-selected merchandise to shoppers based on their personal style and preferences. Nordstrom has also recently purchased other small businesses including Hautelook and others. But they aren't the only large retailer that is acquiring smaller ones. L'oreal purchased Urban Decay and ... Read More »
We all like to know what we are getting before we buy, right? Well the same is true for e-commerce merchandisers, marketers and executives. Who doesn't want to know how something will look or behave on their website before pushing it live? (I know I do.) In the past, this has been handled by staging environments. Yet, as time goes on, the work required to control all of the ... Read More »

The best thing about World Cup mania is that it involves – well, the world. While only 32 teams compete in the tournament, many more work hard to get there but never make it.

When asking most people about Nordstrom, you'll find a similar reaction. Though pricier than other retailers, Nordstrom actively and continuously demonstrates their appreciation for their customers. If you need to return something, it's not a problem. Over 30 days old? Sure, they'll take it back. No questions asked. Need something hemmed? It's in house. Just spent 10.00 on earrings?

Seems to be a big day for trailers. First up is "Welcome to Yesterday," a project previously entitled "Almanac". Essentially the film appears to be a blend of "Chronicle" and "Frequency" with a found footage, teen-centric approach to the classic sci-fi staple of time travel and messing with one's own past.
Next comes "Grand Piano," the Elijah Wood and John Cusack-led high-concept real-time suspense thriller set around a piano recital. Wood plays a musical prodigy and pianist who suffers from stage fright. Moments before his comeback performance, he discovers a note written on his music sheet - threatening to kill him if one wrong note is played.
Finally there's the UK teaser trailer for "The Double," filmmaker Richard Ayoade's comedy about a man who is driven insane by the appearance of his doppleganger. Jesse Eisenberg and Mia Wasikowska star.

text: I wish that Shadow Hearts was more popular. Sure, it was a bit cheesy at times, but the plot, storyline, characters, fighting system, art style, and basically everything else was amazing. It makes me sad that almost no one knows what it is because it was such a big part of my life.

Under Insurance
What happens if I under-insure
If you are under-insured, you might be in for an unpleasant surprise if you ever need to make a claim. Even in situations of partial loss, it is likely that you will be deemed to be carrying a percentage of risk and you will not receive a complete pay out.
Business policies have one of the highest incidences of under-insurance and it is estimated that over 70% of policies have some form of under insurance.
To show the impact of under-insurance, we include the following example based on a policy with 80% co-insurance:
Adjusted Loss = (Declared / Value) x Loss
If insured for $500,000 and the value at risk was $1,000,000 with a loss of $200,000, the claim would be adjusted as follows.
Adjusted Loss = ($500,000 / $800,000) x $200,000
Adjusted Loss = $125,000
In this example, the uninsured loss would result in a $75,000 lower payout.
Common under-insurance traps
- Underestimating the reinstatement costs of buildings (not allowing for the increasing costs of rebuilding and the additional costs of new buildings, heritage issues, etc)
- Not allowing for architectural and engineering fees when setting the building sum to insure (such advice may be required if the building needs to be rebuilt following a loss)
- Underestimating the replacement cost of plant and machinery
- Underestimating the costs associated with removing debris (even $100,000 doesn't go far where there are contamination issues like asbestos roofing or damaged stock with special disposal requirements)
- Keeping sums insured up to date year after year
- Having no business interruption insurance
- Setting inadequate indemnity periods for business interruption insurance and not having additional increased cost of working cover

Did you know the phrase "dog days of summer" dates back all the way to ancient Greece?
It's true, and apparently means that since time immemorial people have been experiencing the kind of warm, lazy days Utahns will have this weekend. According to the National Weather Service, the Wasatch Front will see highs in the mid 90s Saturday with possible thunderstorms in the afternoon. Temperatures will hold steady through the weekend, but should start inching up during the work week.
In southern Utah, highs should reach the upper 90s Saturday, peak around 100 degrees Sunday, then hover in that same range during the week.
The hot, dry weather prompted a red flag warning for the Salt Lake and West deserts Saturday afternoon and evening.
Most of the state should have "green" air quality through Monday, according to the Utah Division of Air Quality.
Salt Lake City expected a high of 95 degrees Saturday and 96 degrees Sunday; Provo expected 90 and 93, respectively; Ogden 90 and 92; Logan 90 and 92; Wendover 94 and 92; Duchesne 82 and 85; Cedar City 86 and 88; St. George 99 and 100; and Moab 91 and 92; Park City 79 and 82 degrees.

Polk County (WQOW) - The man behind an armed
robbery that didn't go as planned, is on his way to prison.
It was last year that
Alan L. Meyer was accused of trying to rob a gas station in Polk County. The clerk said he showed a knife and told her
to give him the 'big bills'. But there
weren't any big bills in the cash register.
add insult to injury, the clerk told the robber she recognized him even though
he was wearing a mask. At that point police say he said it was only a joke, and
fled. And it turns out Meyer's girlfriend, who worked at the station, was the
one who turned him in. Meyer was
sentenced Tuesday to three years in prison.

No doubt you've seen this morning's top political story:
U.S. Rep. Lynn Westmoreland said Monday that he believes Insurance Commissioner John Oxendine used an investigation into a failed insurance company in an attempt to pressure him to take a low profile in the governor's race.
Westmoreland said Oxendine, a Republican candidate for governor, called him about an investigation into Southeastern U.S. Insurance, where Westmoreland served on an advisory board in 2003 and 2004. He said Oxendine told him that his name was found in company documents.
Westmoreland said Oxendine never said anything explicit, but the congressman said he felt a message was being sent. He said Oxendine said to him repeatedly that he would try to keep his name from becoming public as a favor.
Oxendine denied trying to pressure Westmoreland. He said politics had nothing to do with the call.
"Normally I would have had a staff person call him," Oxendine said. "But since the guy is a sitting congressman, I thought it would be a little demeaning to have a staff person call him."
Westmoreland is supporting Rep. Nathan Deal for governor. He said the call felt like a "shakedown."
"I think he thought he was going to worry me," Westmoreland said. "It smells funny."
Westmoreland's entrance into the 2010 race for governor – not as a candidate, but as a combatant – is likely to have several effects. First, it jeopardizes an effort Oxendine had started last week to strengthen his image as a champion of ethics reform.
More important, Westmoreland and Oxendine share strong followings among the conservative Christian core of the state GOP. One can't credit Westmoreland and still believe in Oxendine. Or vice versa. This has the makings of a split.
Lastly, we now know that Westmoreland's name is being bandied about in this investigation. The former House minority leader says he attended a total of three meetings of the advisory board, and was required to quit when he was elected to Congress in 2004. But Clark Fain, who served as CEO of SEUS, had other Republican connections as well. Will they be drawn in?
U.S. Sen. Johnny Isakson says his colleagues are about to approve the nomination of a Labor Department solicitor who misled him and other senators.
Isakson on Monday voted against the motion to end debate on the nomination of New York labor commissioner Patricia Smith, but was rebuffed on a 60-32 vote. A final confirmation vote is expected later this week.
Isakson had already asked President Barack Obama back in September to withdraw the nomination because of what Isakson called her "evasive" answers.
Specifically, Isakson was concerned with Smith's statements regarding a program called "Wage Watch," which deputized what Isakson calls private activist groups to inspect small businesses to look for violations of wage and hour laws.
In April 2009, Isakson says he wrote to Smith and asked if she foresaw "the possibility of instituting similar efforts on the national level." Smith said no.
However, documents procured by the Senate committee looking into her nomination revealed that Smith wrote in January 2009 that she would like to double the number of organizations involved, "while laying the foundation to expand the program to various parts of Long Island and upstate New York." She continued, "We're creating a movement here, and the more the merrier."
"The Senate should not tolerate a nominee intentionally misleading a standing committee of this body. My guess is that the Democrat majority would not have stood for that under the previous administration and they shouldn't stand for it today," Isakson said.
Other reports worth looking at this morning:
From the Washington Post:
Sex education classes that focus on encouraging children to remain abstinent can persuade a significant proportion to delay sexual activity, researchers reported Monday in a landmark study that could have major implications for U.S. efforts to protect young people against unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases.
President Obama's top defense officials will tell the Senate on Tuesday that the military will no longer aggressively pursue disciplinary action against gay service members whose orientation is revealed against their will by third parties, sources say.
And this sobering piece from the New York Times:
By President Obama's own optimistic projections, American deficits will not return to what are widely considered sustainable levels over the next 10 years. In fact, in 2019 and 2020 — years after Mr. Obama has left the political scene, even if he serves two terms — they start rising again sharply, to more than 5 percent of gross domestic product.
His budget draws a picture of a nation that like many American homeowners simply cannot get above water.
For Mr. Obama and his successors, the effect of those projections is clear: Unless miraculous growth, or miraculous political compromises, creates some unforeseen change over the next decade, there is virtually no room for new domestic initiatives for Mr. Obama or his successors.
Beyond that lies the possibility that the United States could begin to suffer the same disease that has afflicted Japan over the past decade. As debt grew more rapidly than income, that country's influence around the world eroded.
To cheer you up after that, we offer Stephen Colbert's interview last night of Harold Ford Jr., the former Tennessee congressman who's looking at a change of venue to New York:

The liberal AJC attacking my man Ox again. This time they take on two conservative stalwarts, playing a he said he said game. My man OX did the right thing and called the Congressman to let him know what was going on. End of story.

One can only hope the Republican gubernatorial candidates will bring each other down enough for one of the two Democrats who might actually implement decent public policy (Barnes or Baker) can win.

GoOX, so you support elected officials who have had dozens of expensive meals and $500 plus bottles of wine with special interests, dating back to at least 1998, and maybe before? Who do you think is paying for those meals, ultimately? Oh yes, it's true.
February 2nd, 2010

GMR – Please stop spreading false rumors about my man Ox. I haven;t seen any lobbyist disclosure with expensive meals.

This conversation is classic Oxendine for anyone whose dealt with him.
February 2nd, 2010
10:19 am
Oxendine, and his silly attempts at playing political hardball by abusing his office, fleecing insurance execs for campaign contributions or trying to intimidate fellow republicans, is done. Now I see why he didn't resign like the other elected officials running–he has to abuse his office to try to get over. What an idiot.
February 2nd, 2010
10:30 am
The fact that "GoOx" keeps saying "my man Ox" confirms that everything about Oxendine turns my stomach.

[...] news story the "beginning of the end" for the GOP gubernatorial candidate. Jim Galloway says this tete-a-tete could split the state's GOP — and wonders if any other elephants are [...]
February 2nd, 2010
10:48 am
It seems that so much stink settles around Oxendine. Most of us live our lives without being at the scene of a shooting, without being called on the carpet for wrongly using government cars and sirens, without geing accused of trying to shake someone down, without having family members accused of serious crimes, without the other rumors and scandal that seem to stick on Oxendine like gum on his shoe.
Even if you give him the benefit of the doubt and do not attribute any responsibility to him for these things, why would we want a governor who seems to be a human black cloud?
Although I ascribe to the axiom that if you smell smoke, there is likely fire. It just seems very smokey anytime Oxendine's around.
February 2nd, 2010
11:14 am
GoOx, apparently you know as little about the law as you do about Ox. Company reps and officers don't have to disclose the cost of the vintage grapes Ox orders, as lobbyists do. Better have another sip of the koolaide ox man.
February 2nd, 2010
11:30 am
When is he just going to go away and give it up? He's in the news what seems like daily with nothing good ever said about him. I truly hope that the Ox supporters are waking up and smelling the coffee that this man (and I use the term loosely) would not be a good choice for governor. He needs to just go away (and take his bullying staffers with him).
February 2nd, 2010
11:47 am
Barnes and bewigged Baker are proven no good, "Intown Lib." We can know with absolute moral certainty that neither has any integrity.
Baker's passed up multiple chances to show character while in office, and Barnes is unctuous, sleazy, physical coward/Vietnam law school draft-dodger and bank profiteer as "conflict-of-interest politician" personified.
Since the filing deadline has passed, failing a write-in campaign for some as yet to be found leader, perhaps we should consider Dubose Porter, one clever enough to leave his law practice and work in the newspaper business?
Can any neighbors of Porter in Dublin vouch for his morals and good character? At least he isn't trying to hide his baldness.

Don't count the Republican candidates out just yet, Will Jones. There are still a couple who could give Roy and run for his money — and neither are Ox. If you haven't read Peach Pundit today, perhaps you should and you will see one of the two GOP candidates, who has no baggage, and could be excellent choice for the GOP.
February 2nd, 2010
12:03 pm
Oxendine is starting to remind me of Reed in early 2006 when it looked like he was a shoe-in for the Lt. Governor's office. We all know what happened there and I am starting to see if happen again with Ox. The man has been elected to statewide office several times and can only muster 39-44% of the vote? He won't be on the ballot come November. I predict the GOP will either send Handel or Deal to the general election.
February 2nd, 2010
12:05 pm
The " Ox" will be the best Governor that money can buy.
February 2nd, 2010
12:07 pm
It will be Handel or one other candidate in the general election. It's not Ox and it's not Deal. They both have issues which are going to hurt them with the voters. Their poll numbers will decline while two others will rise. Watch and see. The rally has begun already; but, Rasmussen hasn't polled anything but based on name recognition. The voters won't be fooled twice by that.
February 2nd, 2010
12:23 pm
G-d has cursed the manifestly corrupt (no paper trail with plenty of time to implement it), childless, Quayle-connected carpetbagger Handel, but Georgia should bless her?
I think not.
Dubose Porter may have integrity, and that's all Georgians need in leadership. We've been without it so long.
Someone of good repute with personal witness of Dubose Porter, from Dublin, please weigh-in.
February 2nd, 2010
12:29 pm
DuBose Porter doesn't have integrity, Will Jones. He is like a mini-Obama without the charisma; he takes all the credit when he is right and shifts blame and points fingers when he is wrong. That man would divide this state until we crumble.
February 2nd, 2010

Folks sending a high school graduate to the general election for Governor with all these problems we face. Wow!

I think it is time to start seriously giving some consideration of Austin Scott. For those of you who have not read anything about him, perhaps you should. I have narrowed my field down to two. Both are well-educated and experienced, with a long proven record of continuous employment (other than legislature). People need to not be spoon fed anymore in deciding which candidate to vote for. They need to educate themselves and research.

By the way, Cutty, she only has a GED (which is easier to get than a high school diploma). There is actually more effort in attending high school than taking a speed course followed by a test.
February 2nd, 2010
12:38 pm
The part about Oxendine attacking some companies/ people to try to be "a champion of the people" is true. Hate to tell you folks, but he is as crooked as they come. He has lined his pockets with 'donations' for a long time, and now he's 'biting the hand that feeds him". He is not officially allowed to do certain political campaigning acts yet, so this is a way for him to get his name out and act like he protects the common person. Take this from someone who has "paid the bill" in the past. There are a lot of interesting facts about him that will come out in the next few months.
February 2nd, 2010
12:42 pm
I have a friend who owns a rather successful insurance business. He told me back when I was talking with him about who I might be supporting in the race that he and several other agents had been "black balled" by Ox and his group because they had refused to contribute to his campaign. I have known this guy for 47 years. He had absolutely no reason to lie to me. Lawyer, you are right, from what my friend said, his guy is more crooked than a country road! We certainly don't need that as a governor. I hate to say this; but, I am actually being entertained watching this guy implode.

UGA1954, you may have known him for 47 years, but I don't know you or him at all

Right, he didn't know; and, I have swamp land to sell. He's very crooked and dirty. We definitely don't need him in office anytime in any position. He should go and soon. That was the same guy's property he was hunting on when the accident happened, but he tried to say he didn't know him all that well. Yeah, right!! CROOKED + DIRTY = THE OX!!

Whoops! lol
Can we just throw all the candidates outs and start over? In Texas there is an upstart nurse, yeah as in a normal person, that has started embarrassing the political establishment in the debates so far (it really has been pretty entertaining). Is there a candidate out there that is an educated, fiery, shoot from the hip type, *average person* instead of a career politician?

One would at least hope the qualifications for governor include being a college graduate.

Oxendine works for the Insurance Cartel, isn't that all you really need to know?
February 2nd, 2010

Karen Handel may not be bright, but goodness, if Oxendine is elected he'll probablly be indicted during his first term. There appears to be little ethical about him. I'd take her over him.
February 2nd, 2010
1:49 pm
Laurens County, I'm interested in hearing why you say DuBose lacks integrity. I used to know one of his staffers, also from Laurens County actually, and she seemed to think he was a pretty honorable guy. Yeah, he's partisan, but what politician isn't these days? Both parties have moved so far from the middle that there is almost no way to find middle ground.

I have known Ox for 47 years. And actions speak. "My man Ox" needs to leave town and allow us to move forward with honest, citizen oriented government.

Can't make that kind of stuff up. You just have to see to believe. For those that haven't watched, have to fast forward through about the first 1/3 of video to get to the funny stuff.

"Someone of good repute with personal witness of Dubose Porter, from Dublin, please weigh-in."
No "offense," "Laurens County," but it's difficult to know of your "good repute" when you are not identifying yourself. His father was an M.D. and his mother seems to have been a DuBose, so there must be some good there…and his newspaper has the doors open, which says good of him, as well.
G-d gave DuBose Porter a wife and four sons…and he got out of the law rackets. He might be a good man.
The working, intelligent people, the yeoman artisanry, the 80% Middle/Working Class, all know of the treason which is afoot in Our Land since Bush's father killed Kennedy to send us to die in Vietnam, and his grandfather funded Hitler for the Roman Catholic Church, from their U.S. collection plates and the Rockefeller bank.
The Anti-Christ thrives because many are cashing in who can pass for Americans, to the untutored eye.
The People must unite against "the Beast" and "cast" fascist plutocracy," its pedophile priesthood, promotion of illegal immigration, Wall Street payoffs to shore up their fiat-money, fractional banking scheme, of the Fed, ended by John Kennedy's EO11,110, and the traitors yet to brought to justice who committed 9/11 and killed John Kennedy and Dr. King.
The false elite Tories have local agents/traitors in counties across Our State who, like otherwise good and decent people I know and love, dismiss the notion, or delude themselves, about Bush's and Cheney's having committed 9/11.
Barack Obama, in his speeches and books, gave the impression that he knew the truth of America: the ideal and Dream passed through the generations from our forebears – The People sovereign, under only G-d, by the Creed's "Annuit Coeptis" and Common Sense…American Exceptionalism.
If, as you suggest, DuBose Porter is a "mini-Obama" in that regard, he is head-and-shoulders above any other name mentioned so far in the Democratic field.
Those yet willing to call themselves members of the Gay Old Party of draft-dodgers, closet-queens, adulterers, bathroom stall perverts, liars and traitors (excluding perhaps Jeff Chapman for his work fighting Mercer Reynolds' attempted rape of the Golden Isles) are an abomination to the Founders and to all good and decent Georgians worthy of the name.

DuBose Porter doesn't have integrity, Will Jones. He is like a mini-Obama without the charisma; he takes all the credit when he is right and shifts blame and points fingers when he is wrong. That man would divide this state until we crumble.

MADISON, Wis. (WTAQ) - Kids under 18 could no longer have a drink with their parents in a tavern, under a bill passed by the Wisconsin Assembly. The vote was 56 to 41 to end the long-standing tradition, which is allowed only in Wisconsin and Texas.
The bill would still let kids be in the bars with mom and dad – but they'd have to drink something non-alcoholic. Those 18 and older could still drink with their parents. The bill now goes to the Senate.
The Assembly also voted to make it a crime to issue fake degrees for colleges that don't or hardly exist. And job applicants and employees would not be able to use those false degrees to try and get ahead. The Senate okayed the bill last month, and it now goes to Governor Jim Doyle.
The governor is also getting a bill to make schools report all bullying incidents to the state, as part of an effort to increase school safety. And the Assembly voted to make sex offenders notify school offices before they venture onto school property for student activities. That includes athletic fields as well as buildings.

Sequins Never Hurt AnybodyCategory: Halloween
Author: PEACHES
At the risk of sounding like a total scrooge, I am going to declare something controversial: I'm giving up on pumpkin carving.
*Wave of festive horror goes here.*
I know. Don't be ticked. It's not that I don't appreciate a beautifully carved pumpkin, it's just that I would rather leave it to the professionals. Sort of like electrical installation or septic tank cleaning. Sure I could handle it, but it wouldn't turn out well. And I might do some harm in the process. I mean, why risk it?
Plus, pumpkin carving smells bad and I always end up bleeding. Why do I keep on going back to the well, year after year?
If eating cereal smelled bad and made you bleed, you would give up cereal, no?
If listening to Freebird smelled bad and made you bleed, I'm thinking you would give it up, along with Lynyrd Skynyrd in general. Am I right?
Of course right.
I'm sticking a carrot in the nose and calling it a day. Leave the fancy crap to the professionals and I'll stick to my sequins.
Sequins never hurt anybody.

The pumpkin looks perfect exactly as you have it! And if man hadn't invented sequins I'm almost sure that God would have changed raindrops to look like them! So tell any nay-sayers a big "So There"!ReplyDelete

I like looking at others neat creations, but have never been good at pumpkin carving and we used to get the little pumpkins that were 2 for $1 and paint them, but Iike the idea of adding glitter too. Glitter makes everything better.ReplyDelete
Oh, no, don't give up! Next thing we know, you're wearing elastic waist jeans and driving a minivan!!!ReplyDelete

Oh, my.... Pumpkin carving has evolved into a real art form. It is probably best to bow out unless you have little kids that will be impressed with any effort.? The best pumpkin I ever saw was a small one. A second grader took an old handkerchief from her father, cut a hole for the stem, cut two holes for eyes and made a pumpkin ghost. It won the prize, beating out my son's pumpkin that was a good impression of the principal.ReplyDelete

Massive AttackSubmitted by chloelake on Tue, 09/09/2014 - 09:49
So we're spending two hours tracking their 26-year career, playing hits, rarities and archival interviews from the formidable duo.
Massive Attack are responsible for creating genuine classics. 'Teardrop', 'Unfinished Sympathy' and 'Protection' are three of the defining tracks of the 1990s. But it goes far deeper than that. Their Blue Lines, Mezzanine and Protection albums are densely packed with groundbreaking musical ideas, while their later material proves they still have plenty to offer so far into their career.
Fenella Kernebone will take you through some of the best moments of this important band's career and we want you to get involved.

REVEALED: The LAND that UHURU KENYATTA owns (The LIST of all DETAILS)Politics 04:34
Friday February 1, 2013 - When the curtain fell on our beloved founding father Mzee Jomo Kenyatta on August 22nd 1978, his son Deputy Prime Minister Uhuru Kenyatta was only 17 years old.
Like many Kenyans, Uhuru had brothers and sisters and his mother Mama Ngina Kenyatta gave them part of their father's inheritance.
According to the Ndungu Report, Mzee Kenyatta's land is not registered under the name of Uhuru Kenyatta but it is registered under the name of founding father Mzee Jomo Kenyatta.
According to estimates done by the independent surveyors and Ministry of Lands, Kenyatta's land may be little or more than 500,000 acres.
The parcel of lands include;
10, 000 acre Gichea Farm in Gatundu.
5, 000 acres in Thika.
9,000 acres in Kasarani Mwiki
5, 000-acre Muthaita Farm.
24, 000 acres in Taveta
50, 000 acres in Taita,
29, 000 acres in Kahawa Sukari along the Nairobi—Thika highway stretching all the way to Kilimambogo Hills in Ukambani.
Others include:
10, 000-acre ranch in Naivasha.,
52,000-acre farm in Nakuru
20,000-acre one, also known as Gichea Farm,
10, 000 acres in Rumuruti,
40,000 acres in Endebes in the Rift Valley Province
Others are:
Brookside Farm, Green Lee Estate,Njagu Farm in Juja, a quarry in Dandora in Nairobi
How the land was acquired:
How the land was acquired:
When President Jomo Kenyatta was in power for 15 years, the World Bank and the British government funded the Settlement Transfer Fund Scheme under which the Kenyatta family legally acquired large tracts of land all over the country.
Uhuru Kenyatta, who is Jomo's son, is one of the beneficiaries of the Kenyatta's, fortunes together with his brothers and sisters.
Mama Ngina Kenyatta, Magana Kenyatta, Uhuru Kenyatta, Christine Wambui, Anna Nyokabi and Muhoho Kenyatta are among the beneficiaries of the late mzee fortunes.
So Uhuru acquired land through inheritance as many Kenyans do.
How many Kenyans have rejected the inheritance of their fathers because he was a thief or a land grabber?

February 13 – March 2, 2012
This course is open for bookings.
Teachers: Jean Boulton, Chris Clarke, Shantena Sabbadini, Amit Goswami and Nora Bateson
For centuries, philosophers and scientists have struggled with understanding how mind and matter relate. Does consciousness reside throughout the material world or does it just inhabit the human brain? And what do we make of the greater sense of self that arises from spiritual experience?
Within the mechanistic Newtonian world view, these questions seem unanswerable or meaningless, but new scientific insights, particularly in quantum physics and complexity science, are leading to a very different understanding of how the world works, which shares many common themes with the paradoxes of ancient wisdom and philosophy.
This course brings together a range of scientists to reflect on these perennial questions from the perspective of modern scientific research, Jungian psychology and Eastern philosophy.
Jean Boulton begins the week by looking at the different kinds of science, from ancient cosmologies to complexity theory, and reflecting on the limits to this kind of knowledge. She will discuss what the "new" sciences have to say about spirituality and how they connect with the world of imagination, dreams and intuition.
In the second half of the week, Chris Clarke shifts the focus to quantum theory and consciousness. Does consciousness influence quantum events? He will introduce basic ideas of quantum physics and invite course participants to consider different meanings of the term "consciousness", including practical exercises to reflect on their own awareness.
Jean Boulton, PhD, MBA is Visiting Fellow at Cranfield School of Management and also with the Department of Social and Policy Science at the University of Bath. She has a PhD in quantum physics from the University of Cambridge and a first degree in physics from the University of Oxford. She has a particular interest in complexity theory and has been teaching and writing on this subject, and its applications for human and natural systems, for several years. Recent research centres on the nature of science and its relationship with the imaginal, the numinous and the uniqueness of individual experience. She is drawn to Buddhist philosophy. Jean is currently co-authoring 'Embracing Complexity' with Professor Peter Allen, to be published by Oxford University Press in 2012.
Chris Clarke was Professor of Applied Mathematics at the University of Southampton, UK, publishing 3 books and over 80 papers in General Relativity, cosmology and the physics of the brain, until going free lance in 2009 to work on science and spirituality. He has served on two Institute of Physics editorial boards and has been chairperson of The Scientific and Medical Network and of GreenSpirit, as well as serving on the York Diocesan Synod of the Church of England. His current interests include leading a weekly Circle Dance group. Website www.scispirit.com
Plus Special Screening An Ecology of mind and discussion with Nora Bateson
Shantena Sabbadini will explore how the quantum revolution has shaken the classical separation of observer and observed, and present the Tao Te Ching as a view of reality that fits with the fundamental notions and paradoxes of quantum physics and offers a perspective that can help us develop a saner relationship to fellow humans and our environment. He will look at Jung's notion of synchronicity and the worldview underlying it in East and West, including introspective work with the I Ching. What light do these approaches shed on the eternal problem of the mind/matter split?
A brief outline of the development of Western thought
This will follow the development of Western thought from the primitive participatory mode (Levy-Bruhl's participation mystique) through the advent of monotheism, the Copernican revolution, Descartes' mind/matter split and the origins of modern science as a progressive loss of the anima mundi, leading to the vast, cold, impersonal universe so impressively described by Nietsche and the existentialists. It will then point out a reversal of this trend, starting in the 19th century with the romantics and powerfully exploding within the precinct of science itself at the beginning of the 20th century with the quantum revolution. We shall note it is an incomplete revolution: quantum thinking has not yet penetrated mainstream thinking, and the dominant worldview of our time is still essentially pre-quantum.
Quantum physics and the subject/object split
In this part of the course we shall examine in greater detail the nature of the quantum revolution. We shall describe the experiences that shake the classical separation of observer and observed, consider various interpretations of those experiences, and we shall note how, almost a hundred years after the beginning of the theory, a basic riddle at the core of quantum physics remains essentially open. How we solve that riddle has fundamental implications for the kind of world image we build and therefore ultimately for how we relate to the world around us.
An Eastern perspective: the language of Tao
We shall take as our guide Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching and explore a view of reality that, although far from the present dominant Western worldview, matches surprisingly well the fundamental notions of quantum physics and offers us a philosophical perspective capable on one hand to overcome the quantum paradoxes and on the other to support a saner relatioship to our fellow humans and to our environment.
West meets East: the notion of synchronicity
In this part of the course we shall explore Jung's notion of synchronicity, follow some of his quarter of a century long dialogue with the Nobel prize physicist Wolfgang Pauli, and try to experience the worldview underlying such a notion in East and West by examining synchronicity in our own lives – an possibly doing some actual introspective work with the I Ching.
Beyond the mind/matter split
Finally we shall consider problems and possibilities that open up as we move beyond the Cartesian perspective of mind and matter as two separate realities. I imagine this last part of the course to be partly a review of the ground covered and partly an open discussion with the students.
Nora Bateson is the daughter of Gregory Bateson, celebrated anthropologist, philosopher, author, naturalist, systems theorist, and filmmaker. Nora has written and directed the award winning film An Ecology of Mind.
The film includes footage from Bateson's own films shot in the 1930s in Bali (with Margaret Mead) and New Guinea, along with photographs, filmed lectures, and interviews. His youngest child, Nora, depicts him as a man who studied the interrelationships of the complex systems in which we live with a depth motivated by scientific rigour and caring integrity.
Nora visits the College to share the film and to discuss her work and her Father's.
Shantena Sabbadini worked as a theoretical physicist at the University of Milan, Italy, and at the University of California, Santa Barbara. In Milan he helped lay the foundations for what is now called the "decoherence approach" to describing quantum observations, presently the most widely accepted understanding of this controversial subject. In Santa Barbara he contributed to the first identification of a black hole. From 1994 to 2002 he was a member of the faculty at Eranos, an East-West research center founded by C.G. Jung in Ascona, Switzerland. Since 2002, he is associate director of the Pari Center for New Learning, an alternative academic institute located in the medieval village of Pari, Tuscany, Italy. Together with the sinologist Rudolf Ritsema he has authored The Original I Ching Oracle, Watkins, London, 2005. Website: www.shantena.com.
During this week, quantum physicist Amit Goswami will explore his understanding of a new paradigm of science based on quantum physics and the primacy of consciousness. He will explain how this new paradigm integrates different forces within biology, psychology, and medicine and brings together science and spirituality. He will also introduce the idea of quantum activism, a new way to live in the world. Topics to be covered include: the self-aware universe, quantum creativity, physics of the soul, the quantum doctor and creative evolution.
Amit Goswami is professor emeritus in the physics department of the University of Oregon, where he has served since 1968. He is a pioneer of the new paradigm of science called science within consciousness and the author of the highly successful textbook Quantum Mechanics. His two volume textbook The Physicist's View of Nature traces the decline and rediscovery of the concept of God within science. He has also written eight popular books based on his research on quantum physics and consciousness..
In his private life, he is a practitioner of spirituality and transformation. He calls himself a quantum activist. He appeared in the film "What the Bleep Do We Know?" and the documentary "Dalai Lama Renaissance."
Monday: The self-aware universe: How consciousness creates the material world
Tuesday: Quantum creativity: The quantum physics of the creative process
Wednesday: Physics of the soul: A comprehensive theory of survival after death and reincarnation
Thursday: The quantum doctor: An integration of conventional and alternative medicine
Friday: Creative evolution: A resolution between Darwinism and intelligent design

Is It Veal-ly That Bad?
I have generally avoided eating veal for years, so as not to support inhumane farming practices, but I eat other meats, while knowing that those animals aren't treated that well either. Are calves destined for veal (the male calves of dairy cows) treated worse than chickens, pigs, lamb, and turkeys that are slaughtered for meat? A quick internet search only yields highly-biased propoganda on both sides of the fence. What are the thoughts of all the foodies out there? Veal is easily found in the fine restaurants of Vancouver. Parkside even specified "milk-fed veal" unabashedly on their menu. These are calves that have been fed a low-iron milk substitute rather than their mother's milk, so that their flesh is lighter in colour and more tender. In other words, they are made to be almost anemic so that they taste better. Who eats veal out there, and who doesn't? And can anyone direct me to a balanced and reputable discussion of the issue?

In a new study, lead investigator Dr. Shreyasee Amin, an
associate professor at the Mayo Clinic, and colleagues analyzed
bone mineral density (BMD) measurements in 28 U.S. space crew
members (24 males, four females) whose space missions ranged from
95 to 215 days. BMD is an indicator of bone strength.
All 28 crew members had their BMD measured before their space
flight and within 33 days after their return to Earth. In addition,
24 members of the group had their BMD checked again between six and
18 months after returning from space.
BMD measurements were taken for the total body, the hip, the
lumbar area of the spine, and two sites at the wrist. The crew
members' BMD results were compared with healthy adults who had
never left Earth.
The astronauts' BMD immediately after space flight was much
lower than normal and consistent with what is known about bone loss
during space flight, said the researchers. But, the investigators
also found that about 12 months after crew members returned from
space, BMD at several locations was still lower than normal.
The findings indicate that an extended period in a low-gravity
environment could have a long-term harmful effect on bone
The study is scheduled for presentation Nov. 9 at the annual
scientific meeting of the American College of Rheumatology (ACR),
held in Atlanta.
"Ideally, we need to identify better strategies to prevent the bone loss that occurs during space flight so that we can keep the bones of those serving on long-duration space missions healthy and strong for the long-term," Amin said in an ACR news release.
