Deal expired. added to the cart and check-out, but item no longer available. the item changed to $269. sucks big time!!!
I've been on here frequently recently looking for miter and table saws and this goes by while I sleep.
Bringeth saws Benny
More saws..
Looking at it closer...
Did you mean to put 246 ? Anyone get it at 146?
Current price with "75" price drop plus shipping would put it at 246 I maybe?
146... That's cheaper than the freakin jawhorse I was looking at for it...
I saw it at the discount price. I went to research what the next cheaper price is, came back to purchase, and the price changed. It might not have gone through anyway. Drillspot's terms say they can cancel orders and aren't responsible for price mistakes.
I could almost guarantee the order would have been cancelled anyway.

Rev. Gregory, I applaud your stance. As a candidate for ministry, I am keenly aware of the theological issues vs. the issues of personal financial interest and cultural excesses. One of my Divinity School classmates declined to perform his first wedding, because the couple had no connection to his church except to admire its aesthetics. I pray that I will have half the courage that you and he have shown.

Seminary enrollment trends are subject to the same economic and cultural trends as other professions. Law school admissions and those in Journalism schools reflect the same trends. You have a current supply excess (clergy) chasing too few demand (churches/opportunities). That may change over time, may not.
The current crises in the profession of PCUSA clergy is not seminary related. It is that PCUSA clergy are one of the few, if only professions that post a graduate degree place no requirements on its members for either professional development or core professional competency. It is like assuming a doctor or dentist can graduate from medical school and never attend another training or continuing ed. program over 40 years and still maintain a license or professional standards.
The end result is that after a time in ministry you have your professional class exhausted, burnt-out, in ill health emotionally, if not physically and spiritually. The BOP will tell you that out of every 100 ordinations when a person is in their 20's, only about 5-10% will ever qualify for retirement benefits. You have a profession/career patterns with 90-95% loss, attrition before retirement, you have a crises of leadership and death of a profession. The PCUSA may or may not be on a path to extinction. The profession of ordained clergy in the PCUSA surely is.
What does everyone think of this article?
Fairly compensating (all) human beings.
Not mentioned in this article are Presbyterian affiliated boarding schools such as Blair Academy, of which I happen to serve as a Trustee. Though Blair tends to be interfaith in student composition, primarily Roman Catholic and Protestant in its Christian witness, the school more than Presbyterian Church has expressed interest in retaining its church connection. Rather than disengage from Presbyterian boarding schools, colleges and universities, my hope is that the General Assembly will asked ho we might foster and cultivate stronger connections with these schools, many which provide extraordinary education and, at least in Blair's case, send their students onto schools of higher education. Hopefully, the General Assembly will recognize what jewel we have in these fine schools.

Well, I always wondered why my Alma Mater, Grove City College, was still in the fold. When I was attending, while the UPCUSA was closing churches over Overture L (yes, I landed with the Pilgrims) professors at GCC were teaching that women shouldn't be ordained. And since the freshman required theology course was built off the teachings of Francis Schaeffer, I thought it should align itself with the OPC.

The marriage curriculum I reference in this article by Leslie is The Marriage Course from Alpha. Rather than discussing the theology of marriage, it is a great opportunity for couples to work on their own marriages. Easy to run DVD with private couple discussions.

William Wilkinson
As I told my Session in February. One may have deeply held opinions and feelings one way or another on the matter of gay/lesbian relationships and the general impact on church and society. One may choose to express or voice those feelings in one means or another.
One thing that should not be done is use Scouting in general or the kids in the program specifically as as either a proxy or a means to work out your personal theology or politics of the matter. That is short-sighted at best, plain stupid in general.
My guess at the end of the day the vast, vast majority of churches that sponsor troops will continue to do so, and adjust accordingly. Those that cease their associations or revoke their charters for whatever reason, simply because of this change in policy really need to look at themselves in the mirror and ask just what they wish to accomplish in such a move.
Peter Gregory
Again, its a minimalist agenda for a minimalist church. Consider the following.
-The Presbyerty of Alaska in essence has ceased to exist, some presbyteries not far behind them. -Taken alone the departing churches in 2012/13 total over 40K membership loss, once the dust settles on 2103 the church will likely report another 100-150K membership loss. -The turmoil over the medical plan will push many churches and clergy off the grid for denominational purposes.
So the institution responds with what in essence is an academic exercise that will generate paper that will be filed in many cases. Much flowery and theological talk, but very short on earth shaking transformation that will ever have any real impact in the church.
Whenever a denomination substitutes emotionalism, feeling and romanticism for solid reformed theology you get exactly what you plan for. Lots of emotion and feelings and not much else.
I think this is a fantastic idea. Yes, there are places to serve and organizations with which to get involved around the Princeton area. But for me, the idea of an organization made up completely of seminarians is exciting. What's the harm in making it easy for people to find places to serve? Is there such a thing as too many service organizations? Moreover, having a group affiliated with the seminary will hopefully make it easier for incoming students to get connected with service groups. What's the harm in putting down Augustine, Calvin, and Barth, rolling up our sleeves, and practically embodying the gospel in a spirit of service? I'm excited for C.A.N. and what it will mean for the future of PTS and the Princeton Community as a whole. All in all, great words. I'm looking forward to getting involved next semester.
Ben Horseman
Nick is spot on! We need a culture of collaboration at our seminaries. There are so many awesome non-profits that students can partner with to do good work now, and to build skills for a ministry of collaboration with community partners in the future.
Thanks for the insights Nick! Keep doing what you're doing -- we need you to.
Rick Morris
Really? Orthodoxy means "right praise" and not "right belief"? Ms. Stricklen's comment is beyond sad and embarrassing. More like comical and inane. Perhaps a refresher course in Greek and a remedial course In Historical Theology is in order.
Jeff Francis
Orthodoxy means "right praise" rather than "right belief"? What a wonderful way to redefine a term and thus rob it of meaning. According to several dictionaries I checked, the etymology of the word is "1575–85; < Late Latin orthodoxus right in religion < Late Greek orthódoxos, equivalent to ortho- ortho- + dóx ( a ) belief, opinion + -os adj. suffix."
But I will agree with Ms Stricklen in this. Orthodoxy does indeed lead to right praise!
Jeff Wildrick
Never in human history have people lives in such close physical proximity to each other. We live in dense urban spaces, surrounded by technology that connects us to others 24/7 sharing information about ourselves 24/7.
Having spent decades abord ships at sea, combat situations in the field, in very close proximity to the other people for upwards of a year at a time, psychic, emotional, spiritual, real isolation has nothing to do with physical or even social contact with other people. It is the loss of trust and confidence in your own environment. The estrangement from your roots, home, or place of security. Social media, Facebook, the net, whatever only exacerbates the breakdown. The Boston bombers seemingly had normal family lives, had kids, held jobs, when to school, came from cultures with deep social ties. Same could be said for the 9-11 Saudi core group. But there was a darkness, a dislocation, an isolation that took over. All on- line, all connected, always talking to others. But leading to paths of deep sorrow and eventually death for all concerned.
Of course folks want to talk same gender marriage. Any attempt by the PCUSA to paint a different picture of the purpose and intent of the study is disingenuous, and people see right through it. The church is on the same polity and process trajectory that it took with gay ordination post PUP, 2007-2011. That's clear to all as well.
The discussion on the covenantal nature of marriage, the stresses of age, health, social change, sexuality. The intersection of the sacred and secular, church and state, the practice of marriage are of course important discussions to have. The role clergy and church play in that discussion are vital talks to have. But again, make no mistake of what is stated in the study and what is not. It is in the blank space, the void between content, that all the real content and meat of the issue resides.
Again, points to another irrelevancy of the church in the 21t century. Formal membership roles, that really have no other purpose than a resource base to tax for higher governing bodies.
One of the greater acts of liberation in a small church in NJ was the dissolution of membership roles in favor of "friends and family of the church" lists. Some of the older folks did grouse a bit, sort of like their memberships in the Elks and Moose, but one either adapts or dies. Membership in the "club" can happen in other organizations. The church is not a club.
We are Household (Oikos) and some are guests (not just visiting but invited).

Dr. James C. Goodloe
To link this to the current debate on PCUSA clergy health care, PCUSA clergy suffer far more life-style related disorders, obesity, heart disease, type 2 diabetes than those other allied professional cohorts, relative to age and education. PCUSA clergy are also likely to suffer from chronic emotional/mood disorders when compared to other demographic profile groups. This is no accident. But reflects the imbalance of career/job expectations and the pathologies of many parishes where the clergy adopt the same behavioral tendencies to ill-health as the people they serve. The reasons are complex and related many times to the personality types in the profession.
But the bottom line is that clergy need to take a break, take a walk, take a hike, do something mentally and physically that has nothing to do with "church". And seek meaningful relationships outside of parishioners. If that is play, then please we need more of it.

Dead Space 3 is only twelve bucks in Origin's holiday sale - the lowest price ever by $2.40 for EA's February release. Deal ends today.
Another hot deal during Origin's "anniversary sale" where they celebrate their existence, which coincidentally is the day where a lot of gamers got very PO'ed, but thats another story altogether. Beyond $5 BF3, Dead Space 3 is also at a great price at $20.
Origin has the PC download of Dead Space 3 at only $30 AND includes the Tau Volantis Survival Kit DLC pack (normally $15 extra). Ties the lowest price ever for Dead Space 3 by itself. If bought elsewhere separately you're looking at $48+.
EA is giving Dead Space 3 4 free due to they messed up SimCity 5 as courtesy. Check your origin portal.
Dead Space 3 PC download is half price this week at Origin. Pretty sick drop on a highly anticipated release just over a month old. It's also available for Xbox 360 and PS3 platforms for $29.99 with free shipping.
Dead Space 3 releases a month from now. Green Man Gaming's new coupon code knocks twelve bucks off the $60 list price and you get a bonus of either $1 cash back or $2 credit towards more downloads. The game activates on Origin after it's bought from GMG.

100 Most Stylish

On one side, we are supporters of style, which was
propagandized by W. Somerset Maugham: "The well-dressed man is he whose clothes you never notice." on another side – every year we choose a hundred of those who you certainly pay attention to.
blurb on photo of Alex:
If Scandinavian fashion needed a consulate, you couldn't find a better candidate than Alexander Skarsgård. Simple white sneakers from Common Projects, skinny jeans and an Acne T-shirt – a usual ensemble for Skarsgård. In Stokholm, every other one is dressed this way, but for Hollywood, such simplicity is a revelation.

Shrek the Third - DVD
Shrek and Fiona's (Mike Myers and Cameron Diaz, respectively) fairy-tale wedding has gone off without a hitch, yet just as the beaming newlyweds prepare to enjoy their blissful "happily ever after," the sudden death of King Harold (John Cleese) finds everyone's favorite ornery ogre being reluctantly fitted for the royal crown. Troubled to learn that not only will he be compelled to rule Far Far Away, but that he and Fiona are also expecting a little ogre, Shrek determines to track down his new bride's rebellious cousin, Artie (Justin Timberlake) -- the one true heir to the throne -- in order to focus on fatherhood without the added distraction of having to preside over the kingdom. As Shrek sets out with faithful companions Donkey (Eddie Murphy) and Puss in Boots (Antonio Banderas) to locate the medieval high-school slacker and bring him back to become the reigning sovereign of Far Far Away, handsome snake Prince Charming (Rupert Everett) slithers back to the castle in the company of the dreaded Captain Hook (Ian McShane) to stage a diabolically timed coup and assume control of the throne. Now, as Shrek, Donkey, and Puss in Boots do their best to wrangle up the feisty Artie, Fiona must enlist the aid of fighting princesses Snow White (Amy Poehler), Sleeping Beauty (Cheri Oteri), Rapunzel (Maya Rudolph), and Cinderella (Amy Sedaris) to barricade the castle and fend off Prince Charming's invading army of fairy-tale villains until her beloved husband can return with the cavalry to save the day. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
Shrek 2 - DVD
The cranky beast with a heart of gold returns to the big screen in this sequel to the computer-animated smash hit Shrek. After massive green ogre Shrek (voice of Mike Myers) and his new bride, Princess Fiona (voice of Cameron Diaz), return from their honeymoon, they receive an invitation to visit Fiona's parents, King Harold (voice of John Cleese) and Queen Lillian (voice of Julie Andrews), who are the monarchs of The Land Far, Far Away. However, the king and queen are more than a bit alarmed to discover their new son-in-law is a monster the color of algae, and that their daughter's little problem with a magical spell gone wrong has turned into a full-time skin condition. Certain this isn't the sort of "happily ever after" they dreamed of for their daughter, King Harold decides to take Shrek out of the picture and return Fiona to her former beauty with the help of Prince Charming (voice of Rupert Everett), the Fairy Godmother (voice of Jennifer Saunders), and ogre-slaying feline Puss in Boots (voice of Antonio Banderas). Shrek 2 also features the voice of Eddie Murphy returning as Donkey, as well as Larry King as an Ugly Stepsister. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Shrek - DVD
In this fully computer-animated fantasy from the creators of Antz, we follow the travails of Shrek (Mike Myers), a green ogre who enjoys a life of solitude. Living in a far away swamp, he is suddenly invaded by a hoard of fairy tale characters, such as the Big Bad Wolf, the Three Little Pigs, and Three Blind Mice, all refugees of their homes who have been shunned by the evil Lord Farquaad (John Lithgow). They want to save their homes from ruin, and enlist the help of Shrek, who is in the same situation. Shrek decides to offer Lord Farquaad a deal; he will rescue the beautiful Princess Fiona (Cameron Diaz), who is intended to be Farquaad's bride. Accompanying Shrek on his adventure is the faithful but loquacious Donkey (Eddie Murphy), who has a penchant for crooning pop songs. The two must face various obstacles in order to locate the Princess, but they find their world challenged when she reveals a dark secret that will affect the group. Shrek is based on the children's book by William Steig, and features additional voice-work by Vincent Cassel, Cody Cameron, and Kathleen Freeman. ~ Jason Clark, All Movie Guide

Lots of new features in Mac OS X Leopard, but Stacks is one that I would definitely use.
Everyone has had a messy desktop once in a while. The desktop is just the most convenient place to store stuff you are working on right now. To solve this, Leopard allows you to create stacks which are collections of files, programs or folders. For example, Safari automatically creates a Downloads stack where it puts downloaded files so they won't clutter your desktop anymore.
Incidentally, I just read a paper by Thomas W. Malone titled How Do People Organize Their Desks? Implications for the Design of Office Information Systems, which clearly says computer systems should take advantage of the fact that people naturally organize their work in piles (or stacks)

Ballmer says Microsoft Surface sales off to 'modest' start
Sales of Microsoft's new tablet are modest despite the fact that one model was sold out online for more than a week.
Speaking to French daily Le Parisien, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said sales "are starting modestly."
Ballmer claimed that sales were constrained by the limits of the sales channel, according to the report. The Surface tablet is only available at the Microsoft Store online and, in the U.S., at a few dozen brick-and-mortar stores.
But demand for the tablet through Microsoft's sales channels was apparently high enough to trigger a shortage of the $499 … Read more

Origins News Round-up for December 6, 2013
This week's Origins News Roundup features highlights from a recent conference of evangelical theologians, exciting human fossil finds, tell-tale lice, and a few words from the Pope.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
This week's Origins News Roundup features highlights from a recent conference of evangelical theologians, exciting human fossil finds, tell-tale lice, and a few words from the Pope.
"It's tempting to think that the church needs to decide quickly which of these [original sin] scenarios is right, and which ones must be wrong. I believe the church is better served by taking its time, holding several different scenarios in tension for a while as we think through the implications of each."
In this series, Ryan Pettey offers several clips from his powerful documentary "From the Dust". This feature-length film is divided up into various sections, each of which wrestles with the difficult problems that arise when reconciling Scripture with the theory of evolution. A light of hope dawns on the science-faith conversation, however, as scientists and theologians engage in honest dialogue about tough issues such as the interpretation of Genesis, the nature of the Fall, and the idea of random design. Their profound insights are sure to enlighten all minds, raise deeper questions, and provoke new thought.
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.
A deep love for scripture, coupled (ironically) with a lifelong struggle with religious doubt, led Robert Boyle to write several important books relating scientific and religious knowledge. We explore aspects of this fascinating interaction.
This entry was originally posted on February 11, 2010. In this brief video, Professor Schloss addresses what he sees as the two primary reasons that evangelical Christians oppose evolutionary theory.
Astrobiology is the field of inquiry about the origin of life on our planet and the possibility of life elsewhere in the universe. Making a comeback is the theory that life began on Mars and emigrated from there to Earth via meteorites dislodged by collisions with asteroids.
We're excited to announce that the documentary From the Dust can now be purchased and rented through the iTunes Store!
It is precisely the recognition of the qualities of elegance, economy and naturalness which solves the problem of the under-determination of theory by experiment, so often pressed by philosophers of science, who sometimes speak of the process of discovery as if it were a dull routine of fitting curves to data points.
If your core value is serving God and you believe that anything but a literal interpretation of the Bible is disobedient to God, you can't hear any of the scientific arguments, and that was the way it was with me. Until I dealt with the loyalty question, I could not proceed to the science.
After we both exhaled some relieved laughter, I whispered, "I believe God created the world and holds it together. Just how he did that is up for debate, but whatever conclusions you come to about the earth's origins, God did it. Okay?"
What do today's pastors think about science? What views do they hold on creation and evolution and how strongly do they hold them? How do origins issues impact their ministries? These were just a few of the questions that motivated us at BioLogos to commission a survey of pastors on origins
Christian theology asserts that humans are spiritual creatures, a unity of body and spirit or "soul," integrated, not reducible downwards to mere matter or upwards to mere spirit.
The problem is that as human beings, we know that goodness exists, so it must be accounted for, and if one is a staunch believer in scientism, it must be accounted for scientifically.
In this video Conversation, Denis Alexander asserts that contemporary Christians are not taking the early chapters of Genesis seriously enough.
Congratulations to the 37 winners of the Evolution & Christian Faith (ECF) grants competition! ECF is a new BioLogos program designed to support projects and network-building among scholars, church leaders, and parachurch organizations.
Once we have a scientific hypothesis for how something exists, it is tempting to make the philosophical inference that this is also why it exists.
In this three-part series, Cal DeWitt offers insights and examples of why science and ethics must work together to help us make informed, practical decisions within our society. DeWitt's science-ethics-praxis model provides a framework by which we can live more effectively as God's stewards.
In this series, David Buller pays careful attention to the original language and cultural context of Genesis 2, revealing that our responsibility to care for creation is a sacred task given to us by God, not merely a modern secular activity. By taking Scripture seriously, we learn that we have a God-given mandate to be diligent stewards of His creation.
In short, Lewis made it quite clear in his writings that he believed that there is no real conflict between mere evolution and mere Christianity.


text: Story and photo courtesy of St. Thomas Athletics St. Thomas football earned its first trip to the NCAA Division III championship game with a 28-14 win over UW-Oshkosh on Saturday in O'Shaughnessy Stadium. The No. 3 Tommies (14-0) will face 10-time national champion Mount Union in the Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowl at 6 p.m. CST Friday in Salem, Va. That game will be televised live on ESPN. St. Thomas exploded for three first-quarter touchdowns, thanks to a fumble recovery returned for a touchdown, a blocked punt and a 16-play drive, and deployed gritty defense to hold off the Titans after they twice closed to within 14 points. The Tommies' rushing defense again dominated. Oshkosh came in ranked No. 16 in Division III with 257 yards per game but could muster only 25 yards against St. Thomas, whose run defense is No. 10 at 80 yards per game. Oshkosh gave up 191 rushing yards –- 100 more than its season average -– including 117 to Brenton Braddock. The win was the 17th in a row for the Tommies at home and improved their O'Shaughnessy record to 34-2 during Coach Glenn Caruso's five-year run. He now has the most football coaching victories in school history, with 57 over the last five years. Tommies Pounce St. Thomas needed only 14 seconds to put points on the board. On its first play from scrimmage after the opening kickoff, Oshkosh mishandled a pitch. Ayo Idowu scooped up the ball at the Titans' 25 and ran for a touchdown. It was his second fumble recovery and touchdown run in three playoff games, the first an 86-yard jaunt against Elmhurst on Nov. 24. The Tommies held Oshkosh on the next series and Kyle Coyne blocked the punt, with Ryan Deitz recovering at the Titans' 24. Six plays later, quarterback Matt O'Connell hit tight end Logan Marks with a six-yard throwback "snare" pass and a 14-0 lead just 4:12 into the game. Oshkosh couldn't move on its next possession and St. Thomas took over on its 25. O'Connell touched the ball on nine of the drive's 16 plays, with the longest play a 16-yard completion to wide receiver Dan Ferrazzo and a first down inside the Oshkosh 1. O'Connell sneaked the ball in for a touchdown and a 21-0 lead. Two series later, Oshkosh quarterback Nate Wara and wide receiver Cory Wipperfurth connected on a 77-yard touchdown pass –- the longest play given up by the St. Thomas defense this year. Wara found Wipperfurth near the sideline at the Tommies' 40, and he eluded a defender and ran untouched into the end zone to cut the lead to 21-7. Both teams struggled to move the ball the remainder of the half, turning the ball over on three straight possessions. An O'Connell interception was followed by a Wara fumble, forced by Idowu and recovered by lineman Riley Dombek, who ran to the Oshkosh 32. Three plays later, the Titans again intercepted O'Connell. The Tommies nearly scored on the last play of the half. With five seconds to go, O'Connell threw a "Hail Mary" pass toward the end zone from the Oshkosh 44, and wide receiver Charlie Dowdle came down with the ball near the goal line. An officials' review showed he was just short or breaking the plane, and the half ended 21-7. St. Thomas held the Oshkosh offense, ranked No. 11 in Division III with nearly 500 yards a game, to 150 yards in the first half, including only five yards on the ground. More than half of the Titans' first-half yards came on the touchdown pass. Tommies Restore 3 TD Lead On their second drive of the third quarter, St. Thomas went 80 yards in 10 plays to restore a three-touchdown lead at 28-7. O'Connell and Brenton Braddock each carried for 20 yards on the drive, with the quarterback running for the touchdown from the 8. Oshkosh bounced back on its next drive, moving 78 yards in 13 plays, with Wara sneaking in from the 1 and cutting the St. Thomas lead to 28-14. O'Connell fumbled on the first play of the next series and Oshkosh took over on the Tommies' 26, but they held on downs. Oshkosh got the ball back after a three-and-out St. Thomas possession, but Dan Bedor recovered a first-play fumble at the Titans' 39. Braddock picked up two rushing first downs but the drive stalled and Oshkosh blocked a 38-yard Paul Graupner field goal attempt. The St. Thomas defense again stiffened, however, holding Oshkosh to back-to-back three-and-out drives in the fourth quarter, and the Tommies killed the last five minutes with an eight-play drive that ended at the Oshkosh 12.

"The President was on the mark in everything he said: We need greater federal funding and partnerships with land conservation groups to protect the beautiful and ecologically vital land around the country. We need to protect working farmland. We need to create more parks in our cities and create jobs for young people working outdoors."
This is the exuberant message I texted my colleagues at Scenic Hudson, the organization I head, on February 16, shortly after President Obama finished briefing the country's conservation leaders on details of his America's Great Outdoors initiative. I was fortunate to be on hand as he unveiled his conservation blueprint for harnessing federal resources, in collaboration with state and local initiatives, to connect more people with our nation's natural treasures.
You could play an important role in determining the America's Great Outdoors initiative's future. More about that below.
The President's East Wing talk culminated months of public outreach and planning among senior administration officials, including the secretaries of the Agriculture and Interior departments, and chiefs of the Environmental Protection Agency, the Army Corp of Engineers and other natural resource agencies. It reflects vision and leadership at a crucial moment when our country's spectacular outdoor resources can be the catalyst for creating jobs and safeguarding the health of all Americans. (The final America's Great Outdoors report is available at americasgreatoutdoors.gov.
Numerous studies have shown that public parkland is good for business. In fact, active outdoor recreationthings like bicycling, camping, fishing, wildlife watching and snow sportsgenerates $730 billion in annual spending and employs nearly 6.5 million people, or one out of every 20 workers in the U.S. A recent study in New York indicated that every government dollar invested in a state park creates five dollars of additional revenue in surrounding communities.
Parks and open space also encourage healthy lifestyles. Outdoor exercise is a key element in overcoming obesitya disease that afflicts broad and growing segments of Americans, especially our youth, where obesity has more than tripled since 1980. Increasing access to outdoor recreation produces an almost 50 percent rise in the frequency of physical activity, helping to alleviate threats from cardiovascular disease and some cancers. This has enormous economic impacts: According to a Milken Institute study, reducing obesity to a "reasonable and achievable" level by 2023 would result in a $60-billion saving in treatment costs and boost output by $254 billion.
The America's Great Outdoors initiative also will support efforts to protect farmland critical for creating sustainable "foodsheds" around our growing metropolitan centers. Making fresh, local produce more available would alleviate concerns about food security while cutting down on the 1,500 "food miles" it takes the average meal to reach our tables, vastly lowering greenhouse emissions. It also would encourage food choices that make us healthier, especially in underserved neighborhoods. Two new studies exploring ways for New York City to increase access to the bounty of surrounding farms indicate that neighborhoods with greater access to healthy food have a lower prevalence of diet-related illnesses, including three of the city's five leading causes of mortalityheart disease, stroke and diabetes.
Probably the question on the tip of your tongue is: How can we pay for this? Actually, the money already is on hand. America's Great Outdoors initiative funding would come primarily from the Land and Water Conservation Fund, proposed by the president in next year's federal budget at $900 millionthe maximum authorized by Congress. This money comes from the billions of dollars earned by major oil companies from offshore drilling. In his White House remarks, President Obama rightly noted that corporations that take from the land should give a little back.
Here's where you come in. A battle royal is playing out in Congress right now over current-year funding for the Land and Water Conservation Fund. Now is the time for all citizens who care about jobs, our children's health and America's great outdoor resources to let their Representatives and Senators know they support President Obama on this key issue. Tell them not to oppose a program that will protect our land, our air and water for the benefit of future generations of Americans.
They need to hear what the environment means to you.

3. Twice as much is better with the drug fulvestrant
Doubling the dose of a drug called fulvestrant improved survival in postmenopausal women who have estrogen-receptor positive breast cancer that has either spread in or outside the breast, according to one study.
Fulvestrant works by blocking the action of estrogen on cancer cells, according to the National Institutes of Health.
It was approved at a 250 mg dose, Ravdin said. But Italian researchers found a dose of 500 mg led to four months more of survival without the cancer getting worse and a 19% reduction in the risk of death, according to Dr. Angelo Di Leo, who heads the department of medical oncology at the Hospital of Prato, Istituto Toscano Tumori in Prato, Italy.
4. Twice as long is not better with the drug Herceptin
Women who are diagnosed with early stage Her2 positive breast cancer, another type of breast cancer, will be put on a drug called Herceptin, an artificial antibody which binds to the cancer cell and kills it.
Giving Herceptin for a longer duration did not improve "disease-free or overall survival" over one year of treatment, research shows, said Dr. Martine J. Piccart, chief of the medicine department at the Jules Bordet Institute in Brussels, Belgium, president of the European Society for Medical Oncology and chair of the Breast International Group.
Piccart said this very large trial conducted in many countries (not in the United States) confirms that the current regimen is still the best.
5. Avastin isn't indicated for breast cancer
Researchers were hoping that combining the cancer Avastin for one year with regular chemotherapy would help women with triple-negative breast cancer. This type of cancer, is very aggressive and has few effective treatment options.
According to new data presented at SABC, adding Avastin (which stops the growth of blood vessels that help tumors grow) did not improve a patient's survival.
Sadly, researchers have nothing extra to add to standard chemotherapy for early, triple-negative breast cancer, said Dr. David Cameron, professor of oncology at Edinburgh University in Scotland, who presented the data at the conference.
Just over a year ago, the FDA withdrew its approval for Avastin for treating breast cancer patients because a review of various studies showed Avastin was not shown to be safe and effective for that use in this type of cancer.
Avastin is still approved for treating certain types of colon, lung, kidney and brain cancer (glioblastoma multiforme).

Grab a Button!
Product 684/1374
Book Summary Sean has spent his life in the small-minded town of Willow Grove. Given his preference in sexual partners, finding romance has always been a challenge -- until Brian.
When Brian walks into Sam's Place, the first thing he sees is Sean, and he knows he has to have him. When he takes Sean back to his place, he reveals his true self, and hopes that Sean will accept him -- fangs and all.
"Love at First Bite is short but, oh, so satisfying with a chance encounter, a single glance and then irresistible love and desire."
I couldn't believe my luck. The most gorgeous man I'd ever seen had just walked into Sam's Place, a bar not exactly known as a hangout for gay couples. So why was tall, dark, and yummy smiling and heading my way? I was glad I'd worn my blue button-down shirt with my jeans, knowing the color matched my eyes.
As the man approached, I looked him over from head to toe, lingering on his broad, sculpted chest and flat stomach. I wasn't exactly short at 5'10", but this man topped me by several inches. Just thinking of having that large, hard body pressed against mine as he fucked me was enough to make me hard.
I shifted on the barstool, my cock now pressing against the front of my pants. I was uncomfortable, but in a good way.
The man's smile widened as he stopped in front of me, obviously having noticed my frank appraisal. "Like what you see?" he asked in a deep, rumbling voice.
"Oh yeah." I immediately flushed, not believing I'd just said that aloud. Clearing my throat, I nodded toward the bartender. "Can I buy you a beer?"
"Sounds good. I'll have whatever you're having."
"Hey, Scott, bring another Corona with a slice of lime," I shouted to my friend.
Scott smiled and nodded. Noticing the man standing in front of me, he winked.
"I'm Brian," the man said, holding out his hand.
I shook it and smiled. "Sean."
He slid onto the barstool next to mine. "Nice to meet you."
"Likewise." I took a sip of my beer. "I don't think I've seen you around before. Are you just visiting?"
"Actually, I just moved here. I accepted a position at Hankins & Wilson."
My eyes widened. "You're a lawyer?"
He laughed. "Yeah, why? You have a thing against lawyers?"
"No, it's just... you seem a little young to be a lawyer. So what do you think of Willow Grove so far?"
"Quaint. It's part of what drew me here. I miss small town charm."
"You're from a small town?"
Scott brought Brian's beer, opened it and sat it down in front of him. As he took a swallow, I watched his throat muscles work and felt my cock throb.
"I grew up in a small town outside of Dallas. No place I'm sure you've heard of. Population three hundred."
"Wow, and I thought Willow Grove was bad with five hundred."
He smiled. "It just gets better and better, that's for sure."
I returned his smile and wondered if he was after something long term or just a one night stand. I wasn't really a one night stand type of guy, but I might be willing to make an exception for him. All I knew was that I wanted him. I'd never been so fiercely attracted to a man before in my life. "I'd have to agree."
Brian tipped his head toward the door. "Want to get out of here?"
I hopped off the barstool. "Love to."
He stood and reached for my hand, tugging me toward the door. Disgusted looks followed us, except for Scott who was smiling. Brian paid for the beer and I fought the urge to stick out my tongue at the bar patrons. It was time for Willow Grove to be more open-minded.

And now we get to the sad part of the collection: the following three pieces are not available for sale (at least as far as I can tell), but maybe if we ask real nice...
8. The St. Louis Egoist featured Joel Anderson's illustration celebrating the Cardinals' 2011 World Series victory. I really need to buy one, please, Joel!
9. In 2010 Dave Eggers created a poster in honor of the San Francisco Giants' World Series win. I came across it on Babble, but unfortunately, it's no longer available through McSweeney's.
10. My absolute favorite baseball design of recent years is definitely the Día De Los Gigantes sugar skull with baseball cap. Ornate, hilarious, badass, and pretty all in one, it graces t-shirts, stickers, and temporary tattoos, but I think it would make a lovely screen print. ¿Por favor?

SOUTH BURLINGTON The South Burlington City Council has fired its city manager two weeks after putting him on administrative leave. The council said in a statement Tuesday that Sanford Sandy Millers aggressive and confrontational style was among the reasons for his dismissal. The council made its decision Monday.
The Burlington Free Press reported that Millers attorney, Scott Cameron, calls the councils explanation disappointing. He said the council made Miller the scapegoat for its own poor decisions.
The councilors said they doubt Millers commitment to carry out council decisions with which he disagrees.
Miller previously was city manager in Milton but left in 2009 after a falling out with the Select Board over contract negotiations.
He said Tuesday the council did not have just cause to dismiss him.MORE IN Vermont NewsThe Nuclear Regulatory Commission on Friday announced a security violation at the Vermont Yankee...
