Can Diet Prevent ALS?
Can Diet Prevent ALS?Risk of developing ALS decreased 25% in people consuming the highest amount of carotenoidsEating more brightly colored fruits and vegetables might help prevent or delay the onset of ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), a progressive neurodegenerative disorder commonly known as Lou Gehrig's disease.What is ALS?
ALS affects the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord that control movement. Over time these nerve cells die, leading to an inability of the brain to initiate and control muscle movement. Eventually, the disease may lead to total paralysis and is nearly always fatal. ALS usually doesn't affect intelligence, and people with advanced ALS can still control their eye movements as well as bladder and bowel function.
Colorful help for ALS
Several studies have suggested that oxidative stress-damage caused by unstable compounds called free radicals-contributes to ALS. Some studies have shown that high-dose vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant, can slow the progression of ALS in animals with the hereditary form of the disease.
According to the study published in Annals of Neurology, to see what effect antioxidant carotenoids and vitamin C had on the risk of developing ALS, researchers pooled the results of five different studies including the National Institutes of Health-AARP Diet and Health Study, the Cancer Prevention Study II-Nutrition Cohort, the Multiethnic Cohort, the Health Professionals Follow-up Study, and the Nurses' Health Study. Information from more than one million people was included in the study. Of these, 1,153 people died from ALS.
- Risk of developing ALS decreased 25% in people consuming the highest amount of carotenoids compared with those consuming the least.
- Risk of developing ALS was 21% lower for those with higher dietary lutein intake, and 15% lower for those with higher beta-carotene intake.
- Vitamin C and other carotenoids, including lycopene and beta-cryptoxanthin, didn't seem to affect ALS risk.
"ALS is a devastating degenerative disease that generally develops between the ages of 40 and 70, and affects more men than women," said senior study author Dr. Alberto Ascherio, Professor of Epidemiology and Nutrition at Harvard School of Public Health in Boston. "Understanding the impact of food consumption on ALS development is important. Our study is one of the largest to date to examine the role of dietary antioxidants in preventing ALS."

Lutein is found in many vegetables, including kale, collard greens, corn, romaine lettuce, turnip greens, spinach, Brussels sprouts, and zucchini. Egg yolks are another rich source.
Beta-carotene is found in sweet potatoes, spinach, broccoli, cantaloupe, winter squash, cilantro, and other dark leafy greens.
"Our findings suggest that consuming carotenoid-rich foods may help prevent or delay the onset of ALS," concluded Dr. Ascherio. "Further food-based analyses are needed to examine the impact of dietary nutrients on ALS."

The last of Holland America's Statendam-class ships, Veendam blends a modicum of hipness with the strong traditional flavor that HAL's known for. The 57,092-ton, 1,350-passenger ship went under the knife in 2009, gaining new lanai and spa cabin categories, a more contemporary look in public areas and cabins, additional dining options and a revamped theater experience.
Here's what was added in 2009:
Cabins: Balcony cabins have been added to the back of the ship, some with larger aft-facing verandahs -- a welcome addition to a ship built before balconies became a must-have. Lanai cabins, with sliding-glass doors that lead to the outdoor promenade deck, are an innovative way to give additional cabins access to fresh air and outdoor spaces. Other new additions are the spa cabins (picking up on the wellness trend), which offer a more earthy decor, as well as spa privileges and amenities. And, in all staterooms, fresh color schemes and soft goods offer a more contemporary look.
Dining: Two new dining venues have been added. The Canaletto Restaurant takes over a section of the Lido Restaurant each night to offer an intimate, alternative Italian dining experience -- with no extra charge. And the Slice pizza parlor is great for a quick lunch or midday snack, especially when lines get long in the Lido buffet.
Relaxing: The Deck 10 aft pool has been replaced with cabins, and now Deck 11 is home to the Retreat, a resort-style pool area. In addition to Slices and a bar, this deck area features a hot tub, lounge chairs arranged in a wading pool of water and a large screen for showing movies and nature films. It's already a popular spot for al fresco dining, laying out in the sun and gazing at the passing scenery.
Entertainment: Veendam's show lounge has been transformed into the "Showroom at Sea," which aims to create a more intimate theater experience with simpler shows that highlight talented performers fresh from Broadway. The Deck 8 entertainment area has also been opened up (walls have literally been knocked down) to create a better flow between shops, bars and the casino. In addition, two distinct bars have been combined to create Mix, sporting adjoining bar sections and trendy decor.
The look and flow of the ship may now be changed, but Veendam still retains its traditional strengths. Veendam's signature has been its intimate atmosphere and multitude of retreats, where passengers can enjoy a quiet moment or a book. You can still carve out a private space -- whether in one of the blissfully comfortable window-facing lounge chairs in the Explorations Cafe, a corner of the Crow's Nest or Explorer's Lounge, a padded deck chair on the Deck 6 promenade or one of the many slices of outer decks stepped up the bow of the ship. The only time you really feel the crowds is when you are queuing up for dinner in the Rotterdam Dining Room or the Lido Restaurant.
The ship's $2 million art collection keeps the overall feel elegant and traditional with magnificent antique Delft, marble busts, armor and paintings of old Holland America ships on display. Even nightlife -- one of Holland America's weak points -- has been improved by the refurb; the open plan of Deck 8 creates a better vibe in the evenings when the energy of the casino spills over into the bar areas, and shoppers in the boutiques get lured across the walkway to the piano bar when they hear a favorite tune.
Fellow Passengers
There is a good sprinkling of international passengers from Latin America, Asia, Australia and Europe, but the overwhelming majority is North American. Many guests are retirees, with younger travelers often part of multi-generational groups, and the ship's programming is definitely geared to baby boomers and older travelers.
Public Rooms
Many of the public rooms are close to the three-story atrium with its multi-story glass sculpture that looks like DNA (though it's called "Jacob's Ladder"). The Deck 6 atrium is an open space where representatives of group tours or charters hold office hours. The Deck 7 atrium area houses the front desk, shore excursions desk and a brochure rack. Directly opposite is the photo gallery. Heading aft from the atrium, you'll find the art auction desk and two meeting rooms -- the Hudson and Half Moon rooms.
The Deck 8 atrium has two shops, selling logowear, destination-related souvenirs and duty-free goods like liquor and perfume. Opposite Mix, an open-plan store sells jewelry (everything from costume pieces to Tanzanite), as well as purses, ties, pashminas and more expensive souvenirs. Next door, the Merabella Luxury Collection Shop was created out of an under-used portion of the Explorer's Lounge. It sells very upscale, designer jewelry pieces.
Also on Deck 8, the Explorations Cafe is Veendam's library/coffee bar/Internet cafe. Wonderfully comfortable leather chairs and couches line the windows, with several tables and chairs for reading, puzzling, chatting over coffee and working on personal laptops. Twelve computer terminals are available to guests, and the ship is also wired for Wi-Fi. Wireless was not available in the cabins (though the Internet information sheet says that opening your door might help) and has the best signal in the Explorations Cafe and Explorer's Lounge. Internet pricing is 75 cents per minute, or you can buy packages of 100 minutes for $55 or 250 minutes for $100. A $3.95 activation fee applies on the first login, and printing is available at 25 cents per print job.
Service at the coffee bar was incredibly slow on my cruise. Hot coffee drinks range from $1.20 to $3.05 and iced drinks from $1.60 to $2.85. A drink of the day costs $3.95 or $4.45, depending on size, and specialty waters and sodas cost $2.75. Alcoholic coffee beverages are also available for higher prices; pastries and finger sandwiches are available for free.
Self-service launderettes can be found on Decks 5, 6 and 9. Washers and dryers are available for use ($2 per wash, $1 per dry, only quarters accepted), and detergent is provided. Irons and boards are free. The laundry rooms are open 24/7; please be courteous of guests sleeping across the hall, and keep the door closed or voices low if you choose to do laundry after 10 p.m. or before 8 a.m. (I had the room across from the Deck 6 launderette, and quite a party took place there at 6:30 a.m. on sea days.)
The Medical Center is located on Deck 4.
The line automatically adds $11.50 per person, per day, to onboard accounts, which is then shared among waiters, stewards and other service personnel. That amount can be adjusted in either direction by visiting the front desk. A 15 percent gratuity is automatically added to bar bills; note that gratuities are not automatically tacked on to spa treatments.
Veendam may not offer as extensive a selection of cabin types as larger Holland America ships, but its 2009 refurbishment added several new cabin categories to help round out the selection. In addition, new decor, carpeting and soft goods give the cabins a more modern feel, with dark browns, reds and earth tones replacing the old bright red and blue cabin color schemes.
Veendam has 138 standard inside cabins, measuring 182 square feet each, and 306 outside cabins at 197 square feet. Beds can be arranged as two singles or one queen. Each cabin features a love seat with table and extra chair; small vanity/desk with flat-screen TV, DVD player and makeup mirror; bathrobes hanging on wall hooks; and a closet with a punch-code safe and a hair dryer. A nice touch is that closets have fold-down shelves and can be configured to have more room for hanging clothes or folded items, as you wish. An oddity is that, instead of a mini-bar, sodas and waters for sale are placed on the desk, taking up much-needed space. The stool at the desk/vanity is hollow for extra storage, though drawers under the bed are already filled with extra linens.Of the 537 cabins with windows, 43 percent (that's 231 cabins) have balconies. Of those, 164 are verandah suites, each measuring 238 square feet with a 54-square-foot balcony. The decor and amenities are similar to those in standard cabins, just with larger desk areas. Balconies are furnished with wicker loungers and chairs, each with a padded cushion, and small tables. New aft balcony cabins have larger-than-average verandahs that look out over the ship's wake.
Two new cabin categories feature interesting modifications to the basic inside, outside and verandah cabins. Twelve cabins near the spa have received new balconies and, along with three inside cabins, form a group of spa cabins. These cabins have a lighter decor than the standard staterooms, with more beige, olive green and light blue colors. They also come with extra amenities, such as priority spa bookings on embarkation day, spa concierge service, turn-down gifts each evening, an enhanced mini-bar setup (Vitamin Water and Voss, rather than Evian and Coke), organic bathrobes and slippers, a "distinctive shower head," wooden bathmats, iPod docking stations, water features, yoga mats, pedometers and fitness DVDs. In addition, spa cabin guests can book Spa Stateroom Rituals, spa treatments exclusive to these passengers. A spa breakfast menu is a healthier take on the typical room service menu, offering items like healthy cereals (no Frosted Flakes), egg selections made with egg beaters or egg whites, and fresh-fruit smoothies.
In addition, former outside cabins and offices on Deck 6 have been transformed into 38 lanai cabins. These cabins have the same decor as spa cabins (minus all the extra amenities) and are the same size as standard outsides. The difference is that, instead of an outer wall with a picture window, each has floor-to-ceiling windows with a sliding glass door leading to the Promenade Deck. Two deck chairs outside are reserved per cabin, though signage on my trip was not clear, and often I'd find other people sitting in my chairs. The back door is opened from the inside with a push button; to get back, you must swipe a special key against a pad to unlock the door. It would be more useful if your cruise card had that functionality so you didn't have to remember two cards. Also, in order to have access out the sliding door, the cabin furniture is arranged like a balcony cabin, but as there's not as much floor space, and the desks in lanai cabins are smaller than in other cabins and have no drawers. All cabins on the Promenade Decks (both outside and lanai cabins) have special glass, so the interiors of the staterooms cannot be seen by day from deck. (At night, draw the curtains.)
The lanai cabins are great for people who want easy access to the outdoors and the wraparound Promenade Deck -- I found this particularly useful in Alaska. Whale sighting? You can be outside in two ticks. But, having access to a public deck is nothing like having your own balcony -- no place for al fresco breakfasts in your PJ's, no private space to relax and gaze at sea. A lanai cabin should not be equated to a balcony cabin when choosing which stateroom to book.
Editor's note
: Lanai windows are washed at 5:30 a.m. each morning. Be prepared -- it could wake you up.
Bathrooms in all of the aforementioned cabin categories have tubs with curtains (except for shower-only inside cabins). They come with individual travel-size bottles of Elemis shampoo, conditioner, body wash and lotion, as well as two types of soap. Storage space by the sink is limited to two small glass shelves -½ there's no mirror that opens up to reveal a vanity cabinet.
For a splurge, Veendam offers two deluxe suite categories. The 28 Deluxe Verandah Suites measure 376 square feet with 180-square-foot balconies and are each essentially one enormous room with a king-size bed, large sitting area with two chairs and a sofa bed that sleeps two, a large drawer unit, a bathroom with a separate dressing room, a bar area with fridge, floor-to-ceiling windows and a verandah big enough to hold two lounge chairs and an outdoor dining table with four chairs. The king of cabins, one 979-square-foot Penthouse Verandah Suite has a bedroom with a king-size bed, living room with a sofa bed that sleeps two, a dining room that seats eight, its own kitchen (with a fridge and microwave), a master bath with whirlpool tub and separate shower, a guest toilet, dressing area with vault-like walk-in closet and a desk that looks out on the 180-square-foot verandah. The decor is palatial with antiques for decoration.
Deluxe and Penthouse Suite guests have exclusive access to the Neptune Lounge on Deck 10 and its concierge services. In addition, passengers booked in these suites get special perks, such as complimentary laundry service, binoculars to use during the cruise, priority tendering and exclusive cocktail parties and lunches.
Dress Code
Evening dress is either formal or smart casual. Formal attire is technically a jacket and tie, dark suit or tuxedo for men and dress suit, cocktail dress or gown for women. Most men stick to suits, though I saw a smattering of tuxes and even a kilt on formal night. There are typically two formal nights per week. On casual nights, the range of acceptable attire is quite large -- anything from casual pants (like khakis) with a shirt or sweater to sundresses and skirts for ladies and button-down shirts for men. On my Alaska cruise, I saw many guests wearing jeans in the dining room; bending dress-code rules is more tolerated in this casual destination but may be less appropriate in other cruise regions.
Veendam can have more than 100 children onboard per cruise during the summer months, although numbers can be much smaller, depending on the sailing date. The ship actually has some very nice youth lounges tucked away behind the basketball and tennis courts on Deck 12. Four separate rooms include Club HAL for younger kids, ages 3 to 7; a separate play area for tweens, ages 8 to 12; a video arcade and the Loft, full of crushed-velvet couches and comfy chairs for loafing teenagers, ages 13 to 17. Steps lead from the Loft to the Deck 13 Oasis, a private sun deck for teens. The Oasis has a pirate chic feel with hammocks, splash pools with waterfalls, and tables and chairs made to look like wine barrels. Parents aren't allowed, although the area is supervised by the ship's youth counselors.
The great thing about Veendam's kids' lounges is that they're situated in out-of-the-way areas of the ship. The kids feel they have their own enclaves, and HAL guests without kids don't feel the presence of so many children. Kids are technically not allowed in the Crow's Nest and Mix at night, unless supervised by an adult, but these rules are relaxed when there aren't very many children onboard.
Counselors meet at the beginning of the cruise with parents and guardians, who must personally drop off and pick up each younger child. Structured programs are scheduled for all age levels. Kids, ages 3 to 7, can participate in activities like kids Olympics, tie-dying T-shirts, candy bar bingo, arts and crafts, pajama parties and storytelling. The 8 to 12 set has a schedule of dodgeball, swim parties and video-game play. Teens can hang out and play video games or take part in Ping-Pong competitions, karaoke and teen discos. Age-appropriate movies are shown in Club HAL, and kid-friendly cooking classes take place in the Culinary Arts Center. After-hours babysitting is available on a limited basis for an extra fee.
A children's menu is available in the Rotterdam Dining Room, Lido Restaurant and Terrace Grill, offering smaller portions of dishes like spaghetti, hamburgers, tacos and chicken fingers. Women who will be 24 or more weeks pregnant by the last day of the cruise are not accepted as passengers. Neither are infants younger than 6 months old. For older babies, passengers can arrange for baby food, diapers and refrigerators for an extra fee; high chairs, booster seats and cribs are available for free. Parents can play with kids younger than 3 in the children's facilities at specific times.
Fitness and Recreation
The Greenhouse Spa, operated by London-based Steiner Leisure, the ubiquitous cruise spa company, offers a pretty standard range of treatments, such as massages, facials and body wraps. One room has a float bed; another is used for the Ionithermie Cellulite Reduction Program (lose up to eight inches before you eat those inches back at dinner!). You can also get your teeth whitened onboard. The spa features men's and women's changing rooms with dry saunas, a relaxation room with a juice bar and a salon/barber shop. A thermal suite offers five heated loungers, a Turkish steam room, an aromatherapy room, a hot tub and showers. Passes cost $89 for a single cruise pass, $150 for a couple's cruise pass, $20 for a day pass and $10 for a day pass when booked in conjunction with a spa treatment. (Sorry, folks -- no free thermal time when you book a regular treatment.)
The spa's beauty salon provides services that include hair cutting and styling, as well as manicures and pedicures.
The fully equipped gym is dominated by treadmills, but it also has elliptical trainers, stair-steppers and stationary bikes. A variety of weight machines and free weights is available, as are exercise balls and yoga mats. On my cruise, the cardio machines were constantly in use, and some were broken, making getting your machine of choice a bit difficult. An aerobics area is kitted out with bikes for spin classes ($11); Pilates (also $11), step and body-conditioning classes are also held there. Yoga, Tai Chi and aqua aerobics are held elsewhere as part of Holland America's wellness program and are free of charge.
Deck 12 is used as a jogging track, though there's no marked track or shock-absorbent flooring. Basketball and tennis courts on the same deck are only available for use after lunch hours because the sound carries down to the Lido Restaurant. Ping-Pong tables are located by the main pool, and the Lower Promenade deck is the favorite place for walkers. (Four laps is a mile, and the morning hours are the busiest.)
The main pool on Deck 11 is covered by a retractable roof, so it can be used in inclement weather. One pool and two hot tubs are flanked by wicker lounge chairs with blue striped pads, as well as tables and chairs for alfresco dining or card-playing. At the edge of the pool, a cute -- yet quirky -- addition is two colorful loungers that look like reclining humans. Guests can essentially sit in their laps to lay out poolside. A small bandstand is nearby.
On the aft end of Deck 11, through the Lido Restaurant, is the Retreat resort pool area, new to Veendam after its 2009 dry dock. It's a wonderful area for lying out while keeping cool, dining al fresco or simply taking in the scenery. Specially shaped lounge chairs that lift up on either end (so you can recline facing either direction without rotating the entire lounger) sit in a three-inch-deep pool of water. In the middle of this Retreat pool is a wading area with red-tiled benches and a hot tub. Surrounding the pool are regular plastic loungers, tables and chairs, a bar and Slice Pizza. A movie screen is hung above the pizzeria and bar, but on my cruise, it was only showing nature scenes, due to restrictions in Alaska. In other destinations, movies will be shown in the evening. The Retreat is not an adults-only venue.
Editor's Note
: The one logistical issue with the Retreat is that it's on the other side of the Lido from the main pool. So, if you've gone swimming in the main pool and then want to lie out in the Retreat, you either have to dry off, put clothes on and walk through the Lido or -- if you don't want to change -- go up to Deck 12, cut through the basketball court, and then take the stairs down to Deck 11, aft.

Corker says deal will pass, predicts $500,000 threshold
Fiscal solvency hasn't been dealt with, Corker says
Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee sought to assure Americans on Sunday over the looming fiscal cliff, expressing full confidence that most people won't start off the new year with new taxes.
In an interview on CNN, the Republican senator also predicted the income threshold for tax increases will be at least $500,000 per year, rather than President Barack Obama's proposal of $250,000.
While he's "disgusted with where we are" in the deficit-reduction debate, Corker said "there's no question" that Congress will reach some kind of deal "in the next few days or in the next few weeks."
"I would bet my life that over the next very short period of time (that) 98 to 99% of people in the country are going to be rescued," Corker told CNN Chief Political Correspondent Candy Crowley.
The Senate reconvened on Sunday as leaders and aides worked to hash out a fiscal cliff deal that will pass in both chambers of Congress. One of the main sticking points is a disagreement over who should pay higher tax rates in order to generate more revenue.
While Obama has called for tax increases on incomes above $250,000, discussions have involved the possibility of raising that figure to a $400,000 threshold, along with a push to keep estate taxes low. Democrats have said they might be open to one such scenario, but not both.
Corker, who earlier this month was among the first in his party to support a tax rate increase for the wealthy as part of a deal, said he doubts any compromise will include the $250,000 figure, listing several Democratic senators who he says want a higher number as well.
"My guess is we're going to be ... at least $500,000," he said "My guess is it's going to happen and it's going to pass."
And though it may pass, Corker joined many Republicans in saying that the fiscal debate has lacked serious discussion about "real reductions," such as entitlement reform. "I think that is totally irresponsible."
"We're going to deal with this tax issue," he continued. "We're going to deal with it either before midnight tomorrow or in the next couple of weeks, but nobody in the country - 99%, 98% of the people in the country should not be worried about revenues. But what they should be worried about is we still haven't tackled the issue of fiscal solvency."

An agreement to avert the fiscal cliff of automatic tax increases and spending cuts appeared "within sight," President Barack Obama said Monday, but lawmakers said nothing will pass Congress before a midnight deadline.

Venezuela-Chavez-Health (monitoring)
Leaders in Venezuela's capital are asking residents to take a more somber approach than usual to ring in the New Year.
Iraq-One-Year-Later -- By Chelsea J. Carter
A year ago, with the departure of U.S. troops from Iraq, there was cautious optimism in Iraq about its future. That was on "Iraq Day," the celebration of the December 31 deadline for American troops to withdraw from the country -- a moment that marked the official end of the war. One year later, much about a post-war Iraq remains unclear -- for the Iraqis and Americans who lived it and fought it -- as the country struggles to define itself, with its government stumbling from one political crisis to another.
At least 16 people were killed and dozens were injured in attacks across Iraq Monday amid an apparent uptick in sectarian tensions. Most of the attacks targeted Shiites, including bomb blasts that injured pilgrims traveling to shrines just days before a religious celebration.

Here are the top 5 positive stories out of the continent, as chosen by those who call it home.
School boy's wildlife-tracking website helps tourists spot big beasts.
Miguel Angel Jimenez may be the oldest golfer to win on the European Tour, but his lust for life has put a big dent in his hopes of extending that record in 2013. The 48-year-old, known for his love of cigars and fine wine, has been ruled out for at least three months after breaking his leg while skiing in his native Spain at the weekend.
An agreement to avert the fiscal cliff of automatic tax increases and spending cuts appeared "within sight," President Barack Obama said Monday, but lawmakers said nothing will pass Congress before a midnight deadline.
The "fiscal cliff" is hours away. And Americans are angry. Across the country, millions are fed up with a Congress that seems unable to get some important things done.
Being "rich" could become a whole lot tougher. Under one fiscal cliff proposal being worked out in Congress, taxes would rise only on couples making more than $450,000. That's a lot higher than the $250,000 threshold that policy makers had long marked as the dividing line between the middle class and the rich. Just under 2% of filers, or 2.85 million, have adjusted gross incomes above $250,000.
It's official: U.S. debt will reach its legal borrowing limit on Monday, giving Congress about two months before it must raise the debt ceiling or risk causing the government to default on its bills and financial obligations. "I can confirm we will reach the statutory debt limit today, Dec. 31," a Treasury Department official said.
The fiscal cliff hasn't been reached yet, but it has already affected the nation's economy.
With the fate of the fiscal cliff uncertain, the Shivers family is bracing for a big tax hit. Many families like the Shivers could also end up worse off by hundreds or thousands of dollars next year if a deal to avert the fiscal cliff isn't reached.
Federal workers are bracing for furloughs that could start to take place in the next few months if Congress doesn't replace massive budget cuts scheduled to begin Wednesday.
Chief Justice John Roberts is warning leaders in the other two branches of the federal government that the pending "fiscal cliff" would "inevitably result in the delay or denial of justice for the people the courts serve."

Two-thousand-thirteen promises to be an interesting political year -- with two governors races that will be closely watched, the very real possibility of another special Senate election in Massachusetts, a possible debate in Washington over immigration reform as the political clout of Latinos continues to grow, and a planned push by Democrats for gun control measures. By the numbers, here's a look ahead at politics in 2013.
OK. The budget deficit, the debt ceiling, and tax reform are givens. We know that those battles will continue to be in the political spotlight throughout 2013. But what else will be front and center in the New Year Here are five other things to keep your eyes on.
Picking the top 10 moments of an election year is like finding your favorite grain of sand on the beach -- there is an impossible number of possibilities.
Forty years after they were convicted by a jury of firebombing a grocery store in Wilmington, North Carolina, civil rights activists who became known as the "Wilmington 10" were pardoned Monday by the state's outgoing governor.
The father of Sandy Hook Elementary School shooter Adam Lanza claimed his body last week, a family spokesman said. Peter Lanza claimed the body on Thursday, family spokesman Errol Cockfield said. The spokesman declined to specify where the body would be buried.
The shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, on December 14 has compelled the editors of the medical journal Annals of Internal Medicine to call on other physicians to become active participants in the discussion about gun violence and gun policy in this country.
A New York City man and woman have been arrested in Manhattan, accused of possession of an explosive substance and a sawed off shotgun, authorities say. The pair also had a document that appears to be titled "The Terrorist Encyclopedia," according to court documents.
A Texas judge denied a Planned Parenthood request for a temporary restraining order Monday that would have extended the organization's ability to participate in the state's revamped Women's Health Program. A law going into effect Tuesday requires the state to fully fund women's health clinics with the exception of those that are affiliated with abortion providers. Previously, such establishments obtained 90% of their money through the Social Security Administration and other federal funding.
Dear 2012, now that you're gone, please take these lame words with you: trending, spoiler alert, bucket list, superfood, guru and job creators. Oh yeah, and don't forget yolo. That's the message from scholars at Lake Superior State University.
It started in 1996 as a crazy idea to ring in the new year, but police nearly shut it down. "They said, 'We have an idea: Let's do a shoe drop. ... We made this shoe for you,'" recalled Gary "Sushi" Marion, the star of a weekly drag queen review in Key West. "'You've got to sit in it for New Year's Eve,' and I said 'OK,' and that is how it started."
It's not the color, but what's inside that counts when it comes to medication. However, doctors suspect that's not exactly how patients see it. According to a study published Monday in the medical journal Archives of Internal Medicine, changes in pill color significantly increase the odds that a patient will fail to take their medication as prescribed by their doctor.
Some 2.1 million jobless Americans are receiving their last federal unemployment checks this week if Congress doesn't extend the deadline to file for extended benefits.
For doctors who treat the nation's 47 million Medicare patients, the countdown to 2013 brings them ever closer to a staggering 29% pay cut slated for the New Year. Current federal law requires that Medicare reimbursement rates be adjusted annually to keep spending in line with GDP growth. But Medicare spending has typically outpaced economic growth, so the law requires rates to be cut every year to keep Medicare financially sound.
Gasoline prices averaged the highest ever in 2012, despite never topping the single day spikes seen in 2008.
U.S. moviegoers bought a record $10.8 billion in movie tickets this year, with the number of tickets sold rising for the first time in three years.

Jack Alvo drives the streets of the New York City six days a week -- the 5 a.m. to 5 p.m. shift. He never imagined he'd be a cabdriver at his age. After all, a decade ago, he was pulling down $250,000 a year on Wall Street. He survived the 9/11 attacks while working in wealth management for Morgan Stanley on the 73rd floor of the World Trade Center's South Tower. He was a lucky man. But Jack lost his last finance job in 2009, not so long after the markets crashed during the Great Recession. He is still in its grasp, trying to raise two kids, his hair now gray, driving a yellow taxi through the steel and concrete caverns of Manhattan.
In 2013, the Republican Party faces a big test. Members begin the new year in disarray, with their public approval ratings plummeting while Democrats still control the White House and Senate. The year is coming to a close with an embarrassing display of legislative ineptitude as House Republicans divided over a solution to the fiscal cliff. Without displaying the capacity for strong leadership, political parties can't succeed.
George H.W. Bush marked his 80th and 85th birthdays with parachute jumps. He said after the second jump: "Just because you're an old guy, you don't have to sit around drooling in the corner. Get out and do something. Get out and enjoy life." Now 88, Bush has been struggling with serious health concerns, including bronchitis. We need him to recover, to set an example for the world of how a man can mark his 90th.

Hosted by Carl Etnier Thursdays 9 – 10:30am
Relocalizing Vermont explores how to strengthen the local economy in a time of energy constraints brought on by peak oil and other factors. To relocalize is to return to local production of food, energy, and goods. We also look at ways people are maintaining and strengthening democracy, a pre-condition of local control. Part 1 (8:30 – 9:00) consists of the Peak Oil Check-In, Bucky Buckaw's Backyard Chicken Broadcast, and calendar announcements and/or a short interview or audio clip. Part 2 (9:00 – 10:00) generally consists of interviews with one or more guests. Musicians, mostly local, serenade us with their recordings from time to time throughout the show.
Carl Etnier has worked on sustainability issues all his life, with a 17-year career in sustainable water and wastewater. He is director of Peak Oil Awareness, an organization devoted to stimulating conversations about peak oil.

Hosted by Skeeter Sanders, Thursdays, 12:00 PM – 2:00 PM
Aimed primarily at people listening at work, "The Quiet Storm" is a relaxing melange of Smooth Jazz (Boney James, Brian Culbertson, Najee, Grover Washington, Jr., Bob Baldwin, etc.) and Cool R&B (Brian McKnight,, Ledisi, Robin Thicke, Ginuwine, Gerald Albright, etc.) with occasional dashes of soft Adult Contemporary and New Age.
Two major features of the show are "The Smooth Jazz Featured Artist of the Week" – which, as its name implies, is a three-song Smooth Jazz set by an artist being highlighted for a given week – and "The Way-Back Machine," three classic Soul, Funk, R&B and Dance tunes picked from a vast archive dating back 50 years (Some of which have never before been aired on the radio anywhere in Vermont).
Entertaining listeners in Northern and Central Vermont on WGDR since it debuted in June 1998 and on sister-station WGDH since the latter launched in March 2010, "The Quiet Storm" expanded its reach in 2011 to a worldwide Internet following via the Fishbowl Radio Network (http://www.fbrn.us) and through social media including Facebook, Google Plus, Twitter, MySpace and LinkedIn.

Many thanks to the guests, musicians, artists, storytellers and activists who came to the air studio to broadcast and thanks to WGDR!!!!
Recognizing our Abenaki Nation this year(2012) by the state of Vermont has made the presence of our First Nation Peoples visible but racism is still present in our seemingly benevolent Vermont, as one can witness with capitalistic use of indigenous symbolism for profit seen in Vermont newspapers of late. And the ecocide on Mother Earth (nuclear power, tar sands pipeline..etc) happens around us… here is an interview with Carol Irons, Abenaki from Albany, Vermont about Industrial Wind in Vermont
and the impact seen already which is so contrary to Indigenous Perspectives.

Each week, The Magical Mystery Tour brings humor, music, interesting, inspiring and entertaining talks, interviews and live call-in discussions from leading edge science, neuroscience, psychology, education, healing, deep politics and economics, to spirituality and the mystical, with many unscheduled stops along the way.
Listen to the Magical Mystery Tour:
Magical Mystery Tour by WGDR
The show seeks to explore and broaden the perspective and understanding of human experience with an ever widening open heart and mind toward the unknown, while questioning the prevailing assumptions and beliefs, especially our own, that can get in the way of a wide-eyed exploration of the infinite possibilities that surround us, inside and out.Genuinely seeking to bridge the schisms and grand chasms that seem to appear between disparate and largely unquestioned positions, beliefs, ideologies and assumptions of all kinds. Especially, considering that we all co-exist and co-create our evolving world together, moment by moment, whether we are aware of it or not.
With a passionate curiosity and love for science and nature, and many years of intensive
meditation practice our host, in the words of Buckminster Fuller, "dares to be naïve",
while continually questioning the prevailing authorities, especially himself. With a
natural affinity for the mystical and magical he seeks to bring these elements down to
earth, and optimistically to find a way to allow and integrate them into an ever expanding
consensus of accepted reality, freely treading where angels fear to go.Listener call-in comments and discussion are always welcomed and encouraged, at
any time during the show. So, please call in with your thoughts and input at (802) 454-
7762. And please invite your friends and colleagues to listen, wherever they may be via
www.wgdr.orgIf you would like information about anything heard on this show, or if you would like

This is the last work day of 2012 — thank you, Crain Communications! — so I'll keep things brief:
That's the question posed in this Motley Fool piece, which notes the maker of welding products on Dec. 14 announced the 2012 bonus for its roughly 3,000 American employees — something it has done for 79 straight years.The average 2012 bonus was $33,915 per worker, the average employee earned $82,300 (including the bonus), and no one at Lincoln was laid off in 2012, The Fool says.Since February 2010, Lincoln and its CEO, John Stropki, have been profiled by The Wall Street Journal, NPR, Harvard Business Review and many others.Despite that exposure, The Fool says, "no one at (Mr. Stopki's) elite level of American business — or lower, for that matter — has asked him a single question about Lincoln Electric's phenomenal track record.""Why haven't CEOs besieged Stropki by phone or dropped by his Cleveland office?," The Fool asks. "His matter-of-fact answer is that running a company with a no-layoff policy is hard and big firms would have a hard time changing their operating stripes. (So... they don't want to make money decade after decade?)"The piece concludes that Corporate America "is suffering from a near-criminal lack of imagination. Lincoln Electric presents convincing and reassuring evidence that it is possible to run a very profitable, very large multinational business in North America by respecting your customers, employees, investors, and society at large. All of them."
