WATSON A Lowville man was arrested Saturday for allegedly driving recklessly on an all-terrain vehicle back in May.
Lewis County sheriffs deputies charged Michael S. Ielfield, 28, of 5346 Rural Ave., with reckless driving, operating an ATV on a closed road, speed not reasonable or prudent, driving an unregistered and uninsured ATV, failure to display an ATV registration number and fifth-degree criminal possession of stolen property. He was arraigned in Lowville Village Court and sent to Lewis County jail, Lowville, on $100 bail.
Deputies said they responded May 3 to a complaint of erratic driving by several ATVers on West Shore Road in the town of Watson and witnessed one who fled from them. An area resident took pictures of the driver, assisting deputies with their investigation.
Deputies said Mr. Ielfield also took an orange road cone belonging to the state Department of Transportation during the incident, leading to the stolen-property charge.

Boys do a men, lift U-19 cricket World Cup
Wicketkeeper Smit Patel (62*) played a perfect supporting role and their unbroken 130-run stand saw India win the U-19 cup the third time.
Sent in to bat, Australia made 225-8, with captain William Bosisto scoring 87 not out.
India started strongly but collapsed to 97-4 before Chand guided the winners to 227-4 in the 48th over.
Winners in 2000 and 2008, India will relish this victory for long as it was achieved in demanding pitch conditions and against rivals who were high on confidence after staying unbeaten - until the final.
Chand was named the man of the match.
India now are both the senior and junior world champions. MS Dhoni's men captured the bigger prize at home last year.
The seniors were generous in their praise of the juniors, having kept an eye on the proceedings in Australia while they thrashed New Zealand by an innings and 115 runs on the fourth day of the first Test in Hyderabad on Sunday.
"First of all congratulations to the U-19 World Cup team, Unmukt Chand batted really well," said Dhoni.
In his congratulatory message to the U-19 team, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said, "You are the sports stars of tomorrow."

Character Sheet:
-"Who do you work for?"
-"The Emperor."
-"Then imagine I'm Him and you won't be far wrong."
Inquisitrix Aurora to a stubborn Military Governor
Name: Inquisitrix Aurora 'Rose' Briar
Faction: The Holy forces of the Ordo Malleus.
Personal effects: Sororitas Power Armor, Daemon Hammer, a pair of servo skulls that serve as recorders for her interrogations and other tasks related to her profession, A combi-flamer with inferno rounds, an inferno pistol, several dozen holy texts, and a
Personality: Stoic, and resolute, Aurora has seen things that would make mortal men and women fall to the ground in madness and despair. Her experiences have hardened her mentally and emotionally, leaving her a stone wall of determination. Scars and experience have taught Aurora to use any means at her disposal, human, alien, and some times daemon, to keep the Imperium safe from the terrors of the Warp.
History: Aurora was not always doomed to be a Malleus inquisitor, even if she feels she was. She got her start as a simple sister in the chamber militant of the Adepta Sororitas. Serving loyally and dutifully for many years, she worked her way up to become sister superior of a squad of Retributors, when IT happened. A simple cleansing mission to the planet of Baal turned into a full out war with the demonic powers of the Warp. The sights of comrades being rent open by horrors of Tzeench, or ripped asunder by foul blood letters was enough to drive many of the force mad, or send them into a frenzy of blood lust, but not Aurora. She was able to steel her mind long enough for the forces of the Ordo Malleus to arrive and make quick work of the gibbering hordes. Left with two options: Join the Ordo Malleus, or be burned as a heretic, Aurora did as she felt the Emperor commanded and became an inquisitor for the Imperium.
It has been many years since that fateful day, and Rose has gained a significant amount of clout within the Ordo. And is currently tasked with leading a mission to the Ultima Segmentum in preparation for the coming warp storm. Pulling every string within her grasp, and calling in every last favor she was owed, Rose has requisitioned the Mechanicus ship Lord Daros for this mission, aiming to go into battle armed to the teeth with the Emperor's finest weapons. Under her command, and kept within the ship, are several squadrons of Tech Guard, as well as a small fleet of Assault craft, fighters and bombers, and the jewel in her crown. The Paladins, a squad of nine Grey Knights lead by Justicar Hyperion, who she was able to gain control of, specifically for this mission.
Flag ship:, Lord Daros Battle Ship. The Prow Nova cannon of the Lord Daros has long since been ripped out after irreparable damage and replaced with cavernous hangars for fighters and bombers.

text: 000 FXUS63 KILX 080831 AFDILX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Lincoln IL 231 AM CST Sun Dec 8 2013 .DISCUSSION... ISSUED 230 AM CST Sun Dec 8 2013 Initial wave of precipitation approaching the southern CWA early this morning, with light snow being reported over parts of the St Louis metro and as close as Litchfield at 230 am. Dry air initially keeping the leading edge of the precip aloft, but the column will be moistening quickly as isentropic lift persists. Initial forecast concerns will be with precip through this evening including specific type. Further out, focus remains on duration of this cold snap. SHORT TERM...Today through Tuesday: Initial precipitation expected to be all snow this morning, then concern shifts toward potential for some freezing drizzle as the ice crystals in the column erode from the top down. Have kept mention of freezing drizzle over most of the area this afternoon except the far north, where the transition is more likely early in the evening. Forecast soundings from the far southeast CWA indicate some sleet potential as well. Not really looking for any substantial ice accumulation aside from a minor glaze. Snow-wise, could see around an inch near Galesburg and Peoria, with a half inch elsewhere west of I-55 and a dusting to the east. Most of the precipitation should be out of the area by mid evening. Digging shortwave over Utah early this morning will begin to accelerate eastward Monday, with associated jet streak passing through southern Missouri/Illinois Monday night and Tuesday morning. Evening model runs starting to come into more agreement with a quick shot of light snow in a narrow band along this streak. Have added some 30% PoP`s across areas south of I-70 late Monday night as a result. Any accumulation looks to be just a tenth or two at this point. Temperatures will continue to remain well below normal. Winds stay up enough that wind chills will be approaching 10 below near Galesburg late Monday night and Tuesday morning, with sub-zero readings elsewhere north of I-72. LONG TERM...Wednesday through Saturday: One last southward surge of cold air expected mid-week, before the upper pattern finally starts to shift a bit. Unfortunately the GFS and ECMWF showing some spread in how much this pattern shifts late in the week, with the GFS in a much milder pattern across the CONUS and the ECMWF keeping the path of cold air continuing through the Great Lakes. Have kept with the trend of above- freezing temperatures by Friday. After that, made no changes to slight chance PoP`s Friday night/Saturday, as both models show some sort of precip but do not agree on the frontal configuration. Geelhart && .AVIATION... ISSUED 1153 PM CST Sat Dec 7 2013 An initial wave of isentropic lift will work to saturate the low to mid levels, but little in the way of snow accumulation is expected from now through around mid-day Sunday. Flurries may begin as early as 12z for SPI/DEC with mid morning flurries for the remainder of the TAF sites. Some light accumulation of a few tenths to near one half inch will be possible across a majority of central and eastern IL. As much as one inch could accumulate northwest of Peoria, but the higher totals of an inch or more should remain mainly in Iowa and far NW IL. The 00z models continue to show a split in the focus zones for precipitation generation, with central IL in a coll zone between jet dynamics to the southeast and the surface low to the northwest. Overall, precip type could become mixed phase, with freezing drizzle possible later Sunday into Sunday evening as we lose ice crystals aloft but remain below freezing through the lowest 5k ft of the boundary layer. Lift will be diminishing during that time, as dry air progressively erodes the low level moisture from aloft. Precip chances should come to an end before midnight/06z Sunday night as the low pulls away to the northeast. Winds will start out northeast the rest of tonight, then become southeast as low level moisture increases. Some gusts to 20kt will be seen as mixing depth increases. Weaker winds will return Sunday evening as winds become due south by 06z Sunday night. Shimon && .ILX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && $$

Saint of the Day Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin
Reading 1 Is 30:19-21, 23-26
the Holy One of Israel:
O people of Zion, who dwell in Jerusalem,
no more will you weep;
He will be gracious to you when you cry out,
as soon as he hears he will answer you.
The Lord will give you the bread you need
and the water for which you thirst.
No longer will your Teacher hide himself,
but with your own eyes you shall see your Teacher,
While from behind, a voice shall sound in your ears:
"This is the way; walk in it,"
when you would turn to the right or to the left.
He will give rain for the seed
that you sow in the ground,
And the wheat that the soil produces
will be rich and abundant.
On that day your flock will be given pasture
and the lamb will graze in spacious meadows;
The oxen and the asses that till the ground
will eat silage tossed to them
with shovel and pitchfork.
Upon every high mountain and lofty hill
there will be streams of running water.
On the day of the great slaughter,
when the towers fall,
The light of the moon will be like that of the sun
and the light of the sun will be seven times greater
like the light of seven days.
On the day the LORD binds up the wounds of his people,
he will heal the bruises left by his blows.
Responsorial Psalm PS 147:1-2, 3-4, 5-6
Praise the LORD, for he is good;
sing praise to our God, for he is gracious;
it is fitting to praise him.
The LORD rebuilds Jerusalem;
the dispersed of Israel he gathers.
R. Blessed are all who wait for the Lord.
He heals the brokenhearted
and binds up their wounds.
He tells the number of the stars;
he calls each by name.
R. Blessed are all who wait for the Lord.
Great is our LORD and mighty in power:
to his wisdom there is no limit.
The LORD sustains the lowly;
the wicked he casts to the ground.
R. Blessed are all who wait for the Lord.
Gospel Mt 9:35–10:1, 5a, 6-8
teaching in their synagogues,
proclaiming the Gospel of the Kingdom,
and curing every disease and illness.
At the sight of the crowds, his heart was moved with pity for them
because they were troubled and abandoned,
like sheep without a shepherd.
Then he said to his disciples,
"The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few;
so ask the master of the harvest
to send out laborers for his harvest."
Then he summoned his Twelve disciples
and gave them authority over unclean spirits to drive them out
and to cure every disease and every illness.
Jesus sent out these Twelve after instructing them thus,
"Go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
As you go, make this proclamation: 'The Kingdom of heaven is at hand.'
Cure the sick, raise the dead,
cleanse lepers, drive out demons.
Without cost you have received; without cost you are to give."

Do You Believe in Santa?: The Real Story of St. Nicholas
Nicholas was known for his generosity. As tradition goes, he was so selfless that (although he, too, was poor) he helped his likewise poor neighbor support and pay for his daughters' weddings. Nicholas snuck up to his neighbor's house at night and dropped a handful of gold coins through the open window so that the eldest daughter could afford to get married. He would later repeat the generous act two more times. From there, the Santa legend grew into what we now know today – stockings, chimneys, a belly like jelly and all that good stuff.
The Truth About You: Looking Through Love's Lens
Those are the little things, the little acts of love that God sees and understands. Those are the things that define you, that make your whole being beautiful. That doesn't make up for our sins and failings, and it certainly doesn't excuse them… but it means there are shreds of goodness even in the midst of our brokenness.
The definition of beautiful isn't an absence of sin or blemishes; it's the presence of love. Beautiful is not about having arms like Michelle Obama, but like Mother Teresa.
Hearing Crickets: What if God Doesn't Answer my 54 Day Novena?
Q: Well I've been praying a 54 day novena for my future husband, and what you do is that for the first 27 days you pray for something, and then you get some sort of answer and then on the other 27 days you pray to give thanksgiving for your answer. So I did just […]

One of the oldest pilgrimages in the world, besides Rome and Jerusalem, the Camino ends in Santiago, Spain. We began at one of the designated pilgrim departure spots in Saint-John-Pied-de-Port, in France, and spent […]
A Beautiful Offering: Choosing to Glorify God in Our Suffering
"Just get over it." Sadly we hear phrases such as these from our friends in answer to our suffering. I don't think these are the words anyone wants to hear when they are suffering, having a bad day, or feeling down. I love a lot of things about the Catholic Church, but one thing I […]
I'm Thankful That He Picks Me
The word 'eucharist' means 'thanksgiving' in Greek; did you know that? It's a meal that we come to, and I hope you come grateful. Not only grateful that He picks you, but grateful that He feeds you. And that meal is one of the ways He stays with us, always. Because as often as we come to the Eucharist, He comes to us.

Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, Cyber Monday….

Is CBS the new FOX? Setting the record straight on welfare fraud, Part 1
We at Just Harvest were very pleased with all the serious and sorely needed national news coverage of our October 30 public meeting with the head of the Department of Public Welfare.

The essential traditional colcannon Irish recipe - a St. Patrick's Day essential
This St. Patrick's Day what could be better than this potato, cabbage and butter side to stick to your ribs
This the family together for St. Patrick's Day and enjoy this traditional Irish side with this colcannon recipe
Colcannon is a traditional Irish potato dish. It's unique and simple recipe has become popular around the world. It normally includes chopped kale cabbage of green cabbage mixed with hot floury mashed potatoes.
This simple recipe is an ideal one to make with the kids. The word colcannon is from the Gaelic cal ceannann' which literally means white-headed cabbage.
In the past charms were mixed in with the colcannon. Depending on what charm you found it was seen as a portent for the future. A button meant you would remain a bachelor and a thimble meant you would remain a spinster for the coming year. A ring meant you would get married and a coin meant you would come into wealth. Others filled their socks with colcannon and hung them from the handle of the front door in the belief that the first man through the door would be their future husband.
Colcannon Recipe
4 lbs (1.8kg) potatoes, or about 7-8 large potatoes ('old' potatoes or russet potatoes are best, waxy potatoes won't do)
1 green cabbage or Kale
1 cup ( 7 fl oz, 240 ml) milk (or cream)
1 stick (4oz, 120g) butter, divided into three parts
4-5 scallions (green onions), chopped
Salt and Pepper
Fresh Parsley or chives *Not everyone adds scallions to colcannon, but they do add something worth having in my opinion.
Peel and boil the potatoes. Remove the core from the cabbage, slice it thinly, and put into a large saucepan. Cover with boiling water from the kettle and keep at a slow rolling boil until the cabbage is just wilted and has turned a darker green. This can take anything from 3-5 minutes depending on the cabbage. Test it and don't let it overcook, if anything it should be slightly undercooked.
When the cabbage is cooked, drain it well, squeeze to get any excess moisture out, then return to the saucepan. Add one third of the butter and cover. Leave it covered and in a warm place, but not on a burner, with the butter melting gently into it while you continue.
When the potatoes are soft, drain and return the saucepan, with the drained potatoes in, to a low burner, leaving the lid off so that any excess moisture can evaporate. When they are perfectly dry, add the milk to the saucepan along with a third of the butter and the chopped scallions if you are using them. Allow the milk to warm but not boil – it is about right when the butter has fully melted into it and it starting to steam.
With a potato masher or a fork mash the potatoes thoroughly into the butter/milk mixture. Do NOT pass through a ricer or, worse, beat in a mixer as it will make the potatoes gluey and disgusting.
Mix the cabbage thoroughly through the mashed potato.
Before serving season with a little salt and sprinkle with fresh parsley or chives. Most importantly, make a well in the centre of the mound of potato and put the last third of the butter in there to melt.

The pictures attached shows what we came up with. I was worried that people would not understand what we were doing. After all who ever heard of a clay and woven sculpture?
Glad to say both pieces sold almost immediately, and we got a commission for another sculpture. So now the pressure is on to come up with more creative ideas, which is as good as it can get for an artist.
Any ideas??

Architecting VMware vSphere For OpenStack
One of the most common questions I hear is "How does OpenStack compare with VMware?" That question comes not only from customers, but from my peers in the vendor community, many of whom have lived and breathed VMware technology for a number of years. Related questions include, "Which is a better cloud platform?" "Who has the better hypervisor?" and "Why would I choose one vs. another?" Many of these are important and sound questions; others, however, reveal a common misunderstanding of how OpenStack matches up with VMware.

SILVER SPRING, Md. — The Food and Drug Administration has approved a new drug made by Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals for treating tumors of the digestive system, the agency said Monday.
The FDA announced the approval of Stivarga (regorafenib) for gastrointestinal stromal tumors that could not be removed through surgery or had spread to other parts of the body and were no longer responding to treatment with Novartis' Gleevec (imatinib) or Pfizer's Sutent (sunitinib).
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors, or GIST, occur when cancerous cells form in the tissues of the gastrointestinal tract. According to the National Cancer Institute, part of the National Institutes of Health, an estimated 3,000 to 6,000 new cases of GIST occur annually in the United States, most often in older adults.
Stivarga was approved for treating colorectal cancer in September 2012.

IBM BlueMix
jStart explores IBM BlueMix, the next generation cloud platform based on IBM's Open Cloud Architecture and Cloud Foundry. Learn how you can collaborate with jStart to get started.
What is IBM BlueMix?
BlueMix is an implementation of IBM's Open Cloud Architecture, leveraging Cloud Foundry to enable developers to rapidly build, deploy, and manage their cloud applications, while tapping a growing ecosystem of available services and runtime frameworks. IBM will provide services and runtimes into the ecosystem based on our extensive software portfolio.
In practical terms, this means that cloud applications built on BlueMix will:
- Reduce time for application/infrastructure provisioning
- Allow for flexible capacity
- Help to address any lack of internal tech resources
- Reduce Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
- Accelerate exploration of new workloads – social, mobile, big data
Enabling the transition
Part of any open cloud environment deployment includes cloud workloads and capabilities that are available within the cloud. IBM has been working to enable key functionality in the cloud based on early customer engagements as well as input from developers.
BlueMix: Making a difference in the cloud
When IBM envisioned BlueMix, we envisioned a system which would answer the needs and challenges facing developers while at the same time empowering and enabling businesses to leverage their resources in the most efficient way possible. And we wanted to create a system that could do this in concrete ways.
a call to action
- BlueMix Briefing: Provides you and your team with an in-depth understanding of IBM's new initiative. Contact Us
- BlueMix Scenario Definition Workshop: jStart architects and developers work with your team to identify a candidate application for developing/deploying as a proof of concept with BlueMix. Contact Us
- BlueMix Engagement: Over an ~8-10 week period, collaborate with jStart to develop a proof of concept on 'still-in-the-oven' assets & technology. Contact Us
BlueMix scenarios
Retail & the Cloud How retailers can leverage the cloud to create immediate value. | |
The Cloud & first responders Leveraging the cloud to respond to emergencies. | |
The future of event ticketing Understand how the cloud could disrupt event ticketing. |
For developers, this meant that we wanted a system that would significantly reduce the time needed to create the application, to provision it, allow for flexible capacity in terms of storage, but also bandwidth and processing power, and which would handle the back-end infrastructure needs without requiring the developer to spend their valuable time doing so--in other words, allow developers to concentrate on doing what they do best--being creative and developing top quality applications.
BlueMix Hackathon
NCState/IBM BlueMix Hackathon NC State students leverage BlueMix during a hackathon, and in the process create new BlueMix applications. |
For businesses, we wanted to create a system which allows line-of-business users to easily create applications without needing a high level of technical know-how, reduce the total cost of ownership by introducing cost savings inherent in the cloud, and enable businesses to rapidly adjust to their customer and client needs by leveraging the flexibility cloud applications provide--instant updates, new features deployed automatically (high responsiveness from the end-user's perspective).
By doing all of this, the goal is to provide a platform that allows everyone--the developers, the businesses, the end-users--to accelerate their exploration of cloud app capabilities, whether it be to solve social, mobile, or big data needs and challenges--or combinations of the three, to build the next generation of cloud applications and services.

Many physicians and parents report that their autistic children have unusually severe gastrointestinal problems, such as chronic constipation or diarrhea. These observations have led some researchers to speculate that an ailing gut contributes to the disorder in some cases, but scientific data has been lacking. Now, a provocative study claims that a probiotic treatment for gastrointestinal issues can reduce autismlike symptoms in mice and suggests that this treatment could work for humans, too. The reported incidence of gut maladies in people with autism varies wildly between published studies—from zero to more than 80%—making it difficult to establish just how commonly the two conditions go together, says principal investigator Sarkis Mazmanian, a microbiologist at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in Pasadena. Overall, however, the evidence seems to point toward a connection. Last year, for example, a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study of thousands of children with developmental disabilities found that kids with autism were twice as likely as children with other types of disorders to have frequent diarrhea or colitis, an inflammation of the large intestine. For many years, Mazmanian and his and colleagues have been studying the effects of a nontoxic strain of the bacterium Bacteroides fragilis on diseases such as Crohn's disease, which causes intestinal inflammation and allows potentially harmful substances that should pass out of the body to leak through junctions between cells that are normally tight. Although the researchers don't understand the mechanism, the bacterium appears to restore the damaged gut, possibly by helping close these gaps. © 2013 American Association for the Advancement of Science.

By NICHOLAS BAKALAR A high body mass and a large waist are both associated with self-reported hearing loss, a new study has found. Researchers used data from a 20-year prospective study of 68,421 women who were25 to 42 years old at the start. After controlling for age, smoking, diabetes, hypertension and other factors, they found that the higher the body mass index, the greater the risk for hearing loss. Compared with women with a B.M.I. under 25, those with an index of 25 to 29 had an 8 percent increased risk. The numbers kept going up in tandem: 11 percent for 30 to 34, 16 percent for 35 to 39 and 19 percent for those above 40. The increasing risk associated with larger waist circumference followed a similar pattern. The study, published in the December issue of The American Journal of Medicine, found that moderate physical activity — as little as four hours of walking a week — also reduced the risk for hearing loss. Researchers found no further advantage in more vigorous exercise. The lead author, Dr. Sharon G. Curhan, a clinical researcher at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, suggested that obesity might compromise blood flow to the inner ear, and that exercise might improve it, which could explain the associations. "Hearing loss may not be an inevitable part of growing older," she said. "There may be things we can do to prevent it." Copyright 2013 The New York Times Company

By KRISTIN WARTMAN THE solution to one of America's most vexing problems — our soaring rates of obesity and diet-related diseases — may have its roots in early childhood, and even in utero. Researchers at the Monell Chemical Senses Center, a nonprofit research organization in Philadelphia, have found that babies born to mothers who eat a diverse and varied diet while pregnant and breast-feeding are more open to a wide range of flavors. They've also found that babies who follow that diet after weaning carry those preferences into childhood and adulthood. Researchers believe that the taste preferences that develop at crucial periods in infancy have lasting effects for life. In fact, changing food preferences beyond toddlerhood appears to be extremely difficult. "What's really interesting about children is, the preferences they form during the first years of life actually predict what they'll eat later," said Julie Mennella, a biopsychologist and researcher at the Monell Center. "Dietary patterns track from early to later childhood but once they are formed, once they get older, it's really difficult to change — witness how hard it is to change the adult. You can, but it's just harder. Where you start, is where you end up." This may have profound implications for the future health of Americans. With some 70 percent of the United States population now overweight or obese and chronic diseases skyrocketing, many parents who are eating a diet high in processed, refined foods are feeding their babies as they feed themselves, and could be setting their children up for a lifetime of preferences for a narrow range of flavors. The Monell researchers have identified several sensitive periods for taste preference development. One is before three and a half months of age, which makes what the mother eats while pregnant and breast-feeding so important. "It's our fundamental belief that during evolution, we as humans are exposed to flavors both in utero and via mother's milk that are signals of things that will be in our diets as we grow up and learn about what flavors are acceptable based on those experiences," said Gary Beauchamp, the director of the Monell Center. © 2013 The New York Times Company

by Jessica Griggs HAVING type 2 diabetes may mean you are already on the path to Alzheimer's. This startling claim comes from a study linking the two diseases more intimately than ever before. There is some good news: the same research also offers a way to reverse memory problems associated with diabetes – albeit in rats – which may hint at a new treatment for Alzheimer's. "Perhaps you should use Alzheimer's drugs at the diabetes stage to prevent cognitive impairment in the first place," says Ewan McNay from the University at Albany in New York. Alzheimer's cost the US $130 billion in 2011 alone. One of the biggest risk factors is having type 2 diabetes. This kind of diabetes occurs when liver, muscle and fat cells stop responding efficiently to insulin, the hormone that tells them to absorb glucose from the blood. The illness is usually triggered by eating too many sugary and high-fat foods that cause insulin to spike, desensitising cells to its presence. As well as causing obesity, insulin resistance can also lead to cognitive problems such as memory loss and confusion. In 2005, a study by Susanne de la Monte's group at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, identified a reason why people with type 2 diabetes had a higher risk of developing Alzheimer's. In this kind of dementia, the hippocampus, a part of the brain involved in learning and memory, seemed to be insensitive to insulin. Not only could your liver, muscle and fat cells be "diabetic" but so it seemed, could your brain. © Copyright Reed Business Information Ltd.

By Sandra G. Boodman, Dorsey Davidge felt her thrumming anxiety burst into barely controlled panic as she watched her 14-year-old daughter Cate Chapin struggle to get from her bedroom to the bathroom. During the last week of January, the eighth-grader contracted what appeared to be a bad case of the flu. After a week, a doctor decided she had pneumonia, a diagnosis that was later changed to a possible infectious disease. Davidge, a single mother who lives in McLean, had maintained her equanimity during the early days of Cate's illness. But when she saw that her older daughter was unable to walk 10 feet without stopping midway to rest, she was shocked by how cadaverous-looking Cate had become in a matter of weeks. "I was really scared for the first time," Davidge said. "She was incredibly weak, and I thought, " 'Oh, my God, my child is just wasting away.' " By then, the 5-foot-2 Cate, a skinny 95 pounds before she got sick, had shriveled to a little over 80 pounds. She had no appetite, was barely drinking anything and seemed unable to consume more than a quarter of a bagel at a sitting. "That day was the last straw," Davidge recalled. She telephoned Cate's pediatrician, who agreed that the girl needed to be admitted immediately to a Northern Virginia hospital. It would take another harrowing month — which included the insertion of a feeding tube to help restore Cate's weight, consultations with a bevy of specialists and numerous tests — before doctors figured out what was actually wrong, a diagnosis made possible after Cate developed a seemingly unrelated condition that sent her to an ophthalmologist. © 1996-2013 The Washington Post

by Jessica Griggs, San Diego Glugging lots of sugary drinks won't just make you fat, it might also lead to changes in the brain that have been linked to cancer and Alzheimer's – at least in rats. This finding comes from the first analysis of how sugary drinks affect proteins in the brain. It showed that 20 per cent of the proteins produced in a brain region related to decision-making were altered in rats that drank sugary drinks compared with those given water. It is well established that drinking sugar-sweetened drinks is linked to obesity and diabetes, as well as increasing the risk of cardiovascular problems. A recent estimate put the number of deaths associated with soft drinks at 184,000 a year globally. But the effects of sugar-rich drinks on the brain have received much less attention. "For many people around the world, soft drinks are their sole source of liquid, or at least they provide a very high proportion of their daily calories", says Jane Franklin at the behavioural neuropharmacology lab at Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia, who carried out the study. "We know that soft drinks are bad for the body, so it's reasonable to assume that they aren't doing anything good for your brain either". To find out, Franklin and her colleague Jennifer Cornish gave 24 adult rats either water or a solution of water containing 10 per cent sugar – about the proportion you would find in an average can of soft drink – for 26 days. © Copyright Reed Business Information Ltd.

By SENDHIL MULLAINATHAN Why is obesity soaring? The answer seems pretty clear. In 1955, a standard soda at McDonald's was only seven ounces. Today, a medium is three times as large, and even a child's-size version is 12 ounces. It's a widely held view that obesity is a consequence of our behaviors, and that behavioral economics thus plays a central role in understanding it — with markets, preferences and choices taking center stage. As a behavioral economist, I subscribed to that view — until recently, when I began to question my thinking. For many health problems, of course, behavior plays some role but biology is often a major villain. "Biology" here is my catchall term for the myriad bodily mechanics that are only weakly connected to our choices. A few studies have led me to wonder whether the same is true with obesity. Have I been the proverbial owner of a (behavioral) hammer, looking for (behavioral) nails everywhere? Have I failed to appreciate the role of biology? A first warning sign comes from looking at other animals. Our pets have been getting fatter along with us. In 2012, some 58.3 percent of cats were, literally, fat cats. That is taken from a survey by the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention. (The very existence of this organization is telling.) Pet obesity, however, can easily be tied to human behavior: a culture that eats more probably feeds its animals more, too. And yet, a study by a group of biostatisticians in the Proceedings of the Royal Society challenges this interpretation. They collected data from animals raised in captivity: macaques, marmosets, chimpanzees, vervets, lab rats and mice. The data came from labs and centers and spanned several decades. These captive animals are also becoming fatter: weight gain for female lab mice, for example, came out to 11.8 percent a decade from 1982 to 2003. But this weight gain is harder to explain. Captive animals are fed carefully controlled diets, which the researchers argue have not changed for decades. Animal obesity cannot be explained through eating behavior alone. We must look to some other — biological — driver. © 2013 The New York Times Company

By NICHOLAS BAKALAR Children who do not sleep enough may be increasing their risk for obesity, according to a new study. Researchers randomly divided 37 children aged 8 to 11 into two groups. Each group increased their habitual time in bed by an hour and a half per night for one week, then decreased their time by the same amount the next week. They wore electronic devices to measure sleep time, were assessed for daily food intake three times a week, and had blood tests to measure leptin, a hormone that affects hunger, and high levels of which correlate with fat tissue accumulations. Children consumed 134 calories fewer each day during the increased sleep week than the during the week with less sleep. Fasting leptin levels were lower when the children slept more and, over all, the children's weight averaged about a half pound less at the end of long sleep weeks than short ones. The study was published online in Pediatrics. The lead author, Chantelle N. Hart, an associate professor of public health at Temple University who was at Brown University when she did the study, cautioned that it was small, and looked only at acute changes in sleep and their effect on eating behaviors. Still, she said, "I think these findings suggest that getting a good night's sleep in childhood could have important benefits for weight regulation through decreased food intake."

Guest post by Bruce Bower Among 16- to 22-year-old U.S. males, 7.6 percent report taking various potentially dangerous substances at least monthly to counteract what they regard as an alarming lack of muscularity. Young men whose insecurities inspire them to use growth hormones, steroids and other body-altering chemicals represent the male counterpart of females whose idealization of thinness prompts them to induce vomiting and otherwise purge their bodies of food, proposes a team led by epidemiologist Alison Field of Boston Children's Hospital. Purging and other eating disorders occur mainly in girls and women. Boys and men so obsessed with muscles that they take substances prohibited in competitive sports are more numerous than researchers and clinicians realized, and have been overlooked, Field and her colleagues conclude November 4 in JAMA Pediatrics. The researchers examined questionnaires that each of 5,527 males completed eight times between 1999 — at ages 12 to 18 — and 2010. Most participants were white and from middle-class families. No information on sports team participation was available. © Society for Science & the Public 2000 - 2013.

JoNel Aleccia NBC News Obesity may be a factor in early puberty in U.S. girls, a new study finds. About 17 percent of American kids ages 2 to 17 are obese, according to the CDC. There's yet another reason to worry about the obesity epidemic among America's kids: Extra weight may be sending U.S. girls into puberty earlier than ever. Researchers have found that girls with higher body mass index, a ratio of height and weight, may start developing breasts more than a year before their thinner friends — perhaps as early as second grade. The change is spawning a whole new market of child-sized sanitary pads — decorated with hearts and stars — and deodorants aimed at 8- to 10-year-olds, according to a new study and an editorial published Monday in the journal Pediatrics. "The girls who are obese are clearly maturing earlier," said Dr. Frank Biro, a pediatrics professor at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. "BMI is, we found, the biggest single factor for the onset of puberty." In addition, white girls are maturing about four months earlier than in a landmark 1997 study that shocked parents with the news that their daughters who played with My Little Pony could be entering puberty. Biro's team followed more than 1,200 girls ages 6 to 8 in three cities — San Francisco, Cincinnati and New York — from 2004 to 2011, carefully documenting their BMI and their maturation process.

by Tina Hesman Saey BOSTON— Siberians may use genes to stay warm, a new study shows. As part of an effort to catalog genetic diversity in Siberia, Alexia Cardona of the University of Cambridge and collaborators sampled DNA from 200 Siberians representing 10 native groups. The team looked for genes that have more changes in Siberians than would be expected by chance — a sign that the genes evolved rapidly in the 24,000 years since people settled the frigid land. Rapid changes suggest that a gene is important for adapting to an environment. Several of the Siberians' genes have variants that may help keep Arctic dwellers warm during the long winters, Cardona reported October 24 at the annual meeting of the American Society of Human Genetics. Among the candidates for genetic heaters are genes involved in metabolizing fats. Some Siberian groups eat mostly meat, so genes that help convert animal fat to energy are important for creating heat. Another gene with variants unique to Siberians is called PRKG1; it helps regulate body heat by controlling muscle contraction and the constriction and dilation of blood vessels. Muscle contractions are an important part of shivering, which can raise body temperature. The researchers also identified variants in genes involved in thyroid function, which plays a role in temperature regulation. A. Cardona et al.

By James Gallagher Health and science reporter, BBC News The mocked "obesity excuse" of being born with a slow metabolism is actually true for some people, say researchers. A team at the University of Cambridge has found the first proof that mutated DNA does indeed slow metabolism. The researchers say fewer than one in 100 people are affected and are often severely obese by early childhood. The findings, published in the journal Cell, may lead to new obesity treatments even for people without the mutation. Scientists at the Institute of Metabolic Science, in Cambridge, knew that mice born without a section of DNA, a gene called KSR2, gained weight more easily. But they did not know what effect it may be having in people, so they analysed the DNA of 2,101 severely obese patients. Some had mutated versions of KSR2. It had a twin effect of increasing their appetite while their slowing metabolism. "You would be hungry and wanting to eat a lot, you would not want to move because of a slower metabolism and would probably also develop type 2 diabetes at a young age," lead researcher Prof Sadaf Farooqi told the BBC. She added: "It slows the ability to burn calories and that's important as it's a new explanation for obesity." BBC © 2013

By Tori Rodriguez The digestive tract and the brain are crucially linked, according to mounting evidence showing that diet and gut bacteria are able to influence our behavior, thoughts and mood. Now researchers have found evidence of bacterial translocation, or "leaky gut," among people with depression. Normally the digestive system is surrounded by an impermeable wall of cells. Certain behaviors and medical conditions can compromise this wall, allowing toxic substances and bacteria to enter the bloodstream. In a study published in the May issue of Acta Psychiatrica Scandinavica, approximately 35 percent of depressed participants showed signs of leaky gut, based on blood tests. The scientists do not yet know how leaky gut relates to depression, although earlier work offers some hints. Displaced bacteria can activate autoimmune responses and inflammation, which are known to be associated with the onset of depression, lower mood and fatigue. "Leaky gut may maintain increased inflammation in depressed patients," which could exacerbate the symptoms of depression if not treated, says Michael Maes, a research psychiatrist with affiliations in Australia and Thailand and an author of the paper. Currently leaky gut is treated with a combination of glutamine, N-acetylcysteine and zinc—believed to have anti-inflammatory or antioxidant properties—when behavioral and dietary modifications fail. © 2013 Scientific American

Doug Greene, WVIT and NBC News staff NBC News Oreos are as addictive as cocaine, at least for lab rats, and just like us, they like the creamy center best. Eating the sugary treats activates more neurons in the brain's "pleasure center" than drugs such as cocaine, the team at Connecticut College found. "Our research supports the theory that high-fat/ high-sugar foods stimulate the brain in the same way that drugs do," neuroscience assistant professor Joseph Schroeder says. "That may be one reason people have trouble staying away from them and it may be contributing to the obesity epidemic." Schroeder's neuroscience students put hungry rats into a maze. On one side went rice cakes. "Just like humans, rats don't seem to get much pleasure out of eating them," Schroeder said. On the other side went Oreos. Then the rats got the option of hanging out where they liked. They compared the results to a different test. In that on, rats on one side if the maze got an injection of saline while those on the other side got injections of cocaine or morphine. Rats seems to like the cookies about as much as they liked the addictive drugs. When allowed to wander freely, they'd congregate on the Oreo side for about as much time as they would on the drug side. Oh, and just like most people - the rats eat the creamy center first.

By GINA KOLATA William Howard Taft, the only massively obese man ever to be president of the United States, struggled mightily to control his weight a century ago, worrying about his health and image, and endured humiliation from cartoonists who delighted in his corpulent figure. But new research has found that his weight-loss program was startlingly contemporary, and his difficulties keeping the pounds off would be familiar to many Americans today. On the advice of his doctor, a famed weight-loss guru and author of popular diet books, he went on a low-fat, low-calorie diet. He avoided snacks. He kept a careful diary of what he ate and weighed himself daily. He hired a personal trainer and rode a horse for exercise. And he wrote his doctor, Nathaniel E. Yorke-Davies, with updates on his progress, often twice a week. In a way, he was ahead of his time. Obesity became a medical issue by the middle of the 20th century, around the time the term "obesity" rather than "corpulence" came into vogue, said Abigail C. Saguy, a sociologist at the University of California, Los Angeles, who specializes in the study of obesity. Taft's story shows that "at least in some cases, corpulence was already treated as a medical problem early in the century," she added. Like many dieters today, Taft, 6 feet 2 inches tall, lost weight and regained it, fluctuating from more than 350 to 255 pounds. He was 48 when he first contacted Dr. Yorke-Davies, and spent the remaining 25 years of his life corresponding with the doctor and consulting other physicians in a quest to control his weight. Taft's struggles are recounted by Deborah Levine, a medical historian at Providence College in Rhode Island. She discovered the extensive correspondence between Taft and the diet doctor, including Taft's diet program, his food diary, and a log of his weight. Her findings were published Monday in The Annals of Internal Medicine. His story, Dr. Levine said, "sheds a lot of light on what we are going through now." © 2013 The New York Times Company

by Erika Engelhaupt Could I interest you in eating the partially digested stomach contents of a porcupine? No? Maybe a spot of reindeer stomach, then. Still no? Well, that's curious. The Western aversion to these dishes is odd, because people around the world have long partaken of — even delighted in — the delicacy known to medical science as chyme. That's what becomes of food after it's chewed, swallowed and mushed around in the stomach for a while with a healthy dose of hydrochloric acid. And, researchers now suggest, Neandertals were no exception. Eating chyme may even explain the presence of some puzzling plant matter found in Neandertal's tartar-crusted teeth. Neandertals didn't have great dental care, and in the last few years anthropologists have begun to take advantage of monstrous tartar buildup on fossilized teeth to figure out what the hominids ate. Various chemical signatures, starch grains and even tiny plant fossils called phytoliths get preserved in the tartar, also known as calculus. Just what Neandertals ate has been more of a puzzle than paleo dieters might have you believe. Isotope analyses of fossilized bones and teeth suggest Neandertals ate very high on the food chain, with high-protein diets akin to those of wolves or hyenas. But wear marks on their teeth suggest the Neandertal diet consisted of more animals in colder high-latitude areas, and more of a mix of plants and animals in warmer areas. Tartar analyses support the idea that Neandertals ate their veggies, and have also suggested the presence of plants considered inedible, or at least unpalatable and non-nutritious. These include some plants like yarrow and chamomile with medicinal value, so one team suggested Neandertals self-medicated. © Society for Science & the Public 2000 - 2013

By ANAHAD O'CONNOR They are a mystery to researchers: people who are significantly overweight and yet show none of the usual metabolic red flags. Despite their obesity, they have normal cholesterol levels, healthy blood pressure levels and no apparent signs of impending diabetes. Researchers call them the metabolically healthy obese, and by some estimates they represent as many as a third of all obese adults. Scientists have known very little about them, but new research may shed some light on the cause of their unusual metabolic profile. A study in the journal Diabetologia has found that compared with their healthier counterparts, people who are obese but metabolically unhealthy have impaired mitochondria, the cellular powerhouses that harvest energy from food, as well as a reduced ability to generate new fat cells. Unlike fat tissue in healthy obese people, which generates new cells to help store fat as it accumulates, the fat cells of the unhealthy obese swell to their breaking point, straining the cellular machinery and ultimately dying off. This is accompanied by inflammation, and it leads to ectopic fat accumulation — the shuttling of fat into organs where it does not belong, like the liver, heart and skeletal muscle. A fatty liver frequently coincides with metabolic abnormalities, and studies suggest that it may be one of the causes of insulin resistance, the fundamental defect in Type 2 diabetes. In the healthy obese, however, the fat tends to remain in the subcutaneous padding just beneath the skin, where it appears to be fairly innocuous. "The group that doesn't gain fat in the liver as they get obese seems to avoid inflammation and maintain their metabolic health," said Dr. Jussi Naukkarinen, a research scientist specializing in internal medicine at the University of Helsinki. "There is a complete difference in how they react to obesity." Copyright 2013 The New York Times Company

By ABBY ELLIN When binge eating disorder gained legitimacy as a full-fledged mental condition in the latest edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders in May, many people in the eating disorders and obesity communities wondered: Will this inspire us to finally get along? It was a good question, since historically, the two groups have been at odds. Unlike people with anorexia or bulimia, who tend to be excessively thin, many binge eaters are overweight or obese. And much of the focus of anti-obesity efforts — listing calories at restaurants, banning cupcakes in schools, sending students home with body mass index "report cards" — are decried by eating disorder activists, who say such measures can encourage anorexia or bulimia. Anti-obesity activists, in turn, worry that the eating disorder community minimizes the medical risks of obesity, which the American Medical Association classified as a disease in June, and plays down the discrimination many obese people face. "They come out of different traditions," said Kelly Brownell, dean of the Sanford School of Public Policy at Duke University. "Obesity was mainly dealt with in medical professions, and eating disorders were dealt with more in psychology professions." But binge eating disorder, symptoms of which include consuming enormous amounts of food in a two-hour window without purging at least once a week for three months, could bridge the gap between the two worlds, while also reducing the stereotype that only thin people suffer from eating disorders.

by Linda Geddes They are identical in almost every way, except one twin is fat and the other is thin. Now a study of this rare group is shedding light on a medical mystery: how some people can be obese and perfectly healthy. Obesity usually goes hand in hand with metabolic syndrome – high blood pressure, high cholesterol and type 2 diabetes – but a minority of obese people escape this fate. To probe the fit fat phenomenon, Jussi Naukkarinen at the University of Helsinki in Finland and his colleagues turned to a registry of identical twins, picking 16 pairs whose body weight differed by 17 kilograms on average. They are a perfect model for studying such differences because they are genetically identical and have usually been raised in very similar environments. Naukkarinen's team started by looking at the siblings' body fat distribution and quickly saw that the fat twins fell into two groups: those that tended to accumulate fat within their livers, and those whose liver fat resembled that of their thin twin. Suppressed activity Next, they looked at other markers of ill-health, including insulin resistance, cholesterol, inflammation and blood pressure. These measures also divided the group. "Basically all the hallmarks of the metabolic syndrome were lacking in the group where there was no liver fat," Naukkarinen says. Researchers also compared samples of the twins' abdominal fat, or adipose tissue. In unhealthy obese twins, genes involved in inflammation were activated – genes that were not activated in their thin twin. The activity of cellular powerhouses called mitochondria seemed to be suppressed as well. But in healthy obese twins, gene expression was similar to that of the thin twin. © Copyright Reed Business Information Ltd.

by Ed Yong I've just arrived home from 14 hours of flying. The clocks on my phone and laptop have been ticking away the whole time, and it takes a few seconds to reset them to British time. The clocks in my body are more difficult. We run on a daily 24-hour body clock, which controls everything from our blood pressure to our temperature to how hungry we feel. It runs on proteins rather than gears. Once they're built, these proteins stop their own manufacture after a slight delay, meaning that their levels rise and fall with a regular rhythm. These timers tick away inside almost all of our cells, and they're synchronised by a tiny collection of 10,000 neurons at the bottom of our brain. It's called the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN). It's the master clock. It's the conductor that keeps the orchestra in sync. The SCN is also sensitive to light. It gets signals from our eyes, which allows it to synchronise its ticking with the 24-hour cycle of day and night outside. The SCN is what connects the rhythms of our bodies with those of the planet. But when we travel far and fast, and suddenly land in a new time zone, the SCN becomes misaligned with the environment. It takes time to re-adjust, typically one day for every time zone crossed. In the meantime, our sleep is disrupted and our physiology goes weird. In other words: jet lag. But at Kyoto University, Yoshiaki Yamaguchi and Toru Suzuki have engineered mice that break this rule. They are, with apologies for the awful word, unjetlaggable. If you change the light in their cages to mimic an 8-hour time difference, they readjust almost immediately. Put them on a red-eye flight from San Francisco to London and they'd be fine.

Will Mitt Romney Be the GOP Presidential Nominee? >
After His Iowa Win, Mitt Romney Is Unstoppable
Though Iowa does not always deliver the nominees, after his win, Mitt Romney is unstoppable
January 4, 2012
The Iowa caucuses don't deliver nomination victories, but they are historicity significant because they deliver defeats to lesser primary candidates, narrowing the field while creating sharper contrasts among survivors. The caucuses potentially provide a shot in the arm to one or two candidates who might have been neglected before the people spoke. That's a victory to those left standing. Nevertheless, the eventual nominee is the candidate who soars not solely by virtue of an Iowa tailwind, rather by virtue of being prepared for what follows.
I believed prior to the Iowa caucuses, regardless of outcome, that former Gov. Mitt Romney would emerge as the nominee of the Republican Party. Up until a few days ago I did not truly think he had a chance to win Iowa outright, though I thought surely a top-three was important to maintain credibility. I still believe, with Romney's slim victory, for which he deserves credit (a win is a win), and former Sen. Rick Santorum's tremendous triumph over expectations, for which he deserves credit (it is a true victory over several others), that Romney is the future nominee.
[See pictures of the GOP Candidates Heading to the Iowa Caucus.]
There was and remains no other candidate in the race who in my view has the ability to orchestrate back-to-back victories and therefore maintain momentum in the contests ahead to go the distance. While Iowa presented just the first test, none other than Romney can go on to have a truly national campaign, and those who might have had the resources, like Gov. Rick Perry of Texas, are not expected to stay in the race. After a victory in New Hampshire next week, I believe Romney will finish strong in South Carolina, then go on to win the important state of Florida.
While conventional political wisdom has it that there are three tickets out of Iowa--the official winner and two who exceed expectations, all of whom usually, but not always, finish in the top three--this year there appears to have been two. Rick Santorum earned one of them and with it a more prominent place in the race for the first time. Rep. Ron Paul, who finished third after at one point being expected to win, does not have broad enough appeal to win primaries and become the nominee.
[Vote now: Will Obama be a one-term president?]
But Santorum's ticket is likely on a shorter line than Romney's. Santorum's strong showing might have mattered more if Romney were not so far ahead in New Hampshire and, perhaps, if there were more time between the two contests. With a week to go before the first primary, a superior operation and a fairly unshakeable Romney, I believe in this case Iowa has narrowly but accurately chosen the Republican who will face President Obama in November.
