Hospice volunteer explains the rewards
Phyllis Osterman, a hospice volunteer with Visiting Nurse & Hospice of Fairfield County, believes in giving back to her community.
Her father died at home in 1998 surrounded by his family with the support of hospice care, and she was moved to want to help others in the same way.
"I am a strong believer in the blessing of being able to die at home with friends and loved ones by your side," Osterman said.
In the year-and-a-half that she has served as a hospice volunteer, Osterman has cared for many patients.
"It is truly an honor to help people at the most vulnerable time of their lives," she said. "As a hospice volunteer, I visit patients in their homes. Often these individuals feel isolated by their illness, and I offer comfort and companionship to ease their loneliness. I also provide respite to family members who may be overwhelmed and exhausted by caring for their loved one at home.
"In spending time with patients at home, invariably a sacred intimacy develops between us. Patients look forward to my visits and are eager to share stories about their lives. Sometimes patients tell me things that they are reluctant to discuss with their families so as not to pain or burden them. They are free to tell me anything -- I am there to listen with an open heart."
Sometimes she helps patients sort through old photo albums and helps them reminisce.
"Many have shared poignant experiences. Sometimes I help patients organize personal possessions in an effort to prepare their families for what is to come. Other times, there is nothing to do but just be there with the patient, and I've come to realize that that is enough. There is a profound and powerful spiritual connection that develops between the patient and the volunteer, and there are times when the patient just needs to be reassured that he or she is not alone."
Osterman believes that "the gift of hospice is to be present with a dying person and to care for them and to say goodbye. I want to help patients leave this life in comfort, with companionship and love. I feel privileged to serve in this role and see myself as a midwife to the dying.
"Initially, I wasn't sure I would be able to be an effective volunteer. I thought I might be too shy. But I soon realized that this work is not about being outgoing. We each bring our own unique and individual selves to the relationship, and the result is meaningful and rewarding.
"People often ask me how I can do this work. They ask me if it is sad. Yes, it is sad, but it is not just sad. As a hospice volunteer, I see so much resilience and love. I have had the opportunity to make a difference in people's lives.
"This work is an affirmation of all that is good and important in life, and I am honored to be with people at the end of their lives."

2. 12 is the largest number with a single-syllable name, so think of all the time we'll be saving saying "2012" instead of "2011." (That said, there were more rhymes for 11, including a few that are much more useful in poetry than "shelve." I'm thinking of "heaven," "seven," and "leaven.")
3. 12 feels nicely stable and satisfying, because of the familiar concept of a dozen and the number of inches in a foot. I guess that's why the 12 Steps program has 12 steps. And why there are 12 persons on a jury. You have 12 pairs of ribs too, you know. 12 months in a year. 12 hours on the clock.
4. Here's the etymology of "twelve" (which highlights the oddness of its being "twelve" and not "twelf"):
O.E. twelf, lit. "two left" (over ten), from P.Gmc. *twa-lif-, a compound of the root of two + *lif-, root of the verb leave (see eleven). Cf. O.S. twelif, O.N. tolf, O.Fris. twelef, M.Du. twalef, Du. twaalf, O.H.G. zwelif, Ger. zwölf, Goth. twalif. Outside Germanic, an analogous formation is Lith. dvylika, with second element -lika "left over."So it's basically "2 left" (and 11 was "1 left"). It's the same concept as the "-teen" numbers, relating the number to 10, but 12 and 11 use subtraction — what is left after 10 is removed — and the "-teen" numbers use addition, with "-teen" meaning "ten more than." I wonder why. Does it have something to do with the development of a child? If the child is 11 or 12, you think of taking him back to a younger age, but at 13, you picture him standing on a foundation of childhood and building from there? If that is so, then maybe 2012 is the last year when we feel we've just entered the new century/millennium, and next year, we'll feel we are truly in it.
5. 2012 is the last year when we won't have a name — a name that we actually use — for the decade. Next year, we'll be in the "teens." Don't tell me there really was a name for the first decade of the century. You can concoct something — I'd say "the 0s," pronounced "ohs" — but we didn't call it that casually and naturally, the way we said "the 80s" and "the 90s." The first 12 years of the century have been a weird respite from focusing on the decade-ness of the decade. And that has had some subtle effect on us. 2012 is that last year to experience that effect. And then next year, 2011 and 2012 will be swept into the decade that will thenceforward be called "the teens."
7. We'll ring in the new year at 12. At 12 it will be 12. Unless you're very young — and also very optimistic — you can't think that there will be any other day in your life when at 12 it will be 12. Unless you're extremely old, you've never before had the chance to realize: At 12 it will be 12. How stunningly unique today is!

Is it last call for the tea party?
Consider these recent developments:
Late Thursday: Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, a possible presidential candidate in 2016, ridicules fellow Republicans as the "stupid party" and urges Washington Republicans to get over their obsession with cutting budgets.
Friday afternoon: The office of Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell, another would-be Republican presidential candidate, declares that he will not go along with a plan, hatched by conservative legislators, to rewrite the state's election laws in a way that would stack Virginia's electoral votes against Democrats.
Late Friday: Fox News says it has parted ways with Sarah Palin, the former vice presidential candidate and tea-party darling whose following had shriveled.
Saturday: Reports emerge that House Speaker John Boehner had given a speech in which he referred to "hard heads" in his Republican caucus.
Monday: Sen. John McCain, who during his 2008 presidential run backed an enforcement-only approach to immigration, declares his support for a plan for undocumented immigrants to become legal. Joining him on the stage is Sen. Marco Rubio, one of the party's brightest stars for 2016.
This last offense was too much for Rush Limbaugh, who denounced the "amnesty" plan. "Why are we doing this?" he asked Rubio on-air Tuesday.
Rubio was solicitous but firm. "We do have this existing problem that has to be dealt with," he replied.
It is too early to call a requiem for the tea party. The informal movement still dominates the House Republicans. And the GOP's puritanical primary process, encouraged by the redrawing of districts to protect Republican seats, guarantees that the far right will remain entrenched in the party for some time. Fresh evidence of the phenomenon can be seen in the decision by Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.) to retire rather than face a primary challenge from the right.
But if the tea party isn't over, some of the more sensible partygoers are heading for the exits, realizing that things are getting rowdy and the neighbors may soon be calling the cops. Republicans with national ambitions — Jindal, McDonnell, New Jersey's Chris Christie — are moderating their images and views in ways that keep pace with the electorate.
That electorate punished some of the party's more incendiary elements in November — Missouri's Todd Akin, Indiana's Richard Mourdock, Florida's Allen West — and now many of those same people are voting with their remotes. Fox News apparently decided that it was no longer worth paying Palin to give televised warnings of the catastrophic effects of President Obama's "socialist" policies.
Demagoguery works well in bad times, but it's harder to stoke fear and anger when the stock market is at a five-year high and the private sector has been adding jobs for nearly three years.
If anything, anger has turned against tea-party lawmakers. Christie, one of the most popular Republicans in the land, decried GOP leaders' "disgusting" behavior after they forced a delay in funds for Hurricane Sandy recovery. The leaders relented, allowing the spending bill, like Obama's tax hike on the wealthy, to pass despite no votes from most House Republicans.
On immigration, likewise, fear of the tea party's demagoguery has subsided. McCain, for example, fought off a primary challenge in 2010 from an opponent who called him soft on illegal immigration. But on Monday, McCain stood up to those who would call his new plan amnesty. A "de facto amnesty" already exists, he said. "We have been too content for too long to allow individuals to mow our lawn, serve our food, clean our homes and even watch our children, while not affording them any of the benefits that make our country so great."
The return of the old McCain (in 2010, he endorsed Arizona's harsh immigration law) is an encouraging sign, as was the retirement of Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.), a reflexive critic of anything he could label "amnesty."
More good news comes from the House, where most declined to join Limbaugh in his "amnesty" rant. And Rubio, though he owes his job to the tea party, wasn't going to be bullied.
"I know why people are uncomfortable about it," he told Limbaugh on Tuesday. But he defended compromise. "Anytime I see anything that's harmful to America, as a policymaker I try to make it better," he said. "I'm just trying to do the best I can with what's already a tough situation."
Palin probably would disagree. But who cares?

Facebook has been doing its part to build its ecosystem thanks to the efforts of third-party developers and its Open Graph. While it's certainly evolving the way we use and interact with the social network, there have been some noticeable missteps along the way — namely the fact that seamless sharing has turned News Feeds into a flood of your friends' terrible taste in music and political articles you have no interest in.
In order to curb some of the Open Graphs over-share problem, Facebook is implementing a few new rules for developers who want to display content.
Facebook is increasing the size of its image and location-led stories and adding relevant imagery for developers using the Open Graph. So you may begin to notice that stories published to your Facebook News Feed are larger and more prominently featured, but Facebook claims that based on tests, these changes have boosted engagement rates. "Image-led stories have shown 70 percent more clicks for apps that produce high-quality, relevant imagery with low spam rates," Facebook says. This will affect two types of Open Graph stories: Location-led and image-led content.
Location-led stories will include a visual map, courtesy of Bing, of your location. Non-Open Graph stories will simply display the city and state or country of your location.
Developers can now choose to publish 200 x 200 images for image-led stories in lieu of the 50 x 50 images they were previously limited to.
Users will also begin to see fewer automatically published stories (which is sort of a nice word for News Feed spam and smut) that can results from authenticating third-party Facebook apps. "When apps automatically publish stories on a person's behalf in a way that is unexpected, such as when they browse an online store, it can surprise and confuse people," Facebook Product Engineer Henry Zhang wrote in Facebook's blog post.
Realizing this, Facebook is retiring "unexpected" automatic publishing and replacing it with Facebook approved custom actions based on its "Built-in Action Types." What this means is that while stories can still be published automatically, you'll have to opt-into Facebook's preset actions that include "Like," "Follow," "Listen," "Read" and "Watch." If a developer's app prompts you to watch a video for example, and you play the video, you'll have to have watched that content for at least 10 seconds before a "watched an episode of [TV-episode]" appears on your Timeline.
Another change that Facebook is making includes the removal of a feature that allowed developers to force users to request permission for showing content like an article. If you've ever tried to read a Washington Times article that was published to your newsfeed, you wouldn't be taken straight to the article. Instead you were blocked by an "authentication referral" pop-up that then requested permission from you to republish the fact that you've read that article. Instead, users will have to log-into that publisher's Facebook app.
Finally, you can no longer publish content to your friend's wall using its API as Facebook found that this feature was, to be blunt, generally hated by users. However Facebook will continue to allow users to publish to friend's walls using the"feed dialog," where you can share content with a friend using a third-party app — the difference being that the app is commenting on your behalf.
If the Open Graph is going to transform the network and engage users the way Facebook wants it to, the platform has to ride a line between keeping brands and developers happy without spamming and annoying users. Among its efforts to do this include the new Promoted Posts feature, which gives users — all users, not just marketers — a way to surface their content (though it is first and foremost a new revenue source).
Still, quality is the focus over at Facebook right now, which is reflecting in an update to its Platform Policy (section III.A.6.) for developers, which states:
"Quality of content: you are responsible for providing users with a quality experience and must not confuse, defraud, mislead, spam or surprise users. For example, you must monitor your app's negative feedback in Application Insights to ensure it stays below our thresholds, avoid excessive advertisements or bugs, and ensure the description of your app is consistent with your app's content."
The result should be a better controlled News Feed with less third-party posted content.

The last of the summer peaches went into a cobbler and I made a trip up to Kiyokawa Farms for fall apples and pears from the Hood River Valley Orchard. The Apple Dumpling is a guest favorite and I look forward to making it for you in the months to come.
Old Parkdale Inn Apple Dumpling ~ 4 servings
For the Sauce: bring 1 cup water, 2/3 cup sugar, 2 tbsp butter, 1/4 tsp cinnamon to a boil and let simmer while you prepare the apples.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Apple stuffing: Brown sugar, craisins, cinnamon. I make a large batch of this, maybe a couple of cups at a time, and keep leftovers in plastic zip lock bag in frig. Prepare Puff Pastry: thaw sheet and cut into quarters
Peel and core your apples and fill with brown sugar stuffing then gently wrap puff pastry around apple. Don't worry if the dough doesn't completely enclose around the apples. Place the dumplings in a buttered pan and pour the sauce over the dumplings and around the sides of the pan. Bake for 40 minutes until golden brown. Serve hot with extra sauce drizzled over the top.

Happy Birthday to Royal Ballet Principal Rupert Pennefather, who turns 30 tomorrow and will make his debut as Des Grieux in Kenneth MacMillan's Manon. He was perform alongside Sarah Lamb, who also makes her debut in the title role.
Rupert Pennefather
See Rupert in character as Des Grieux in our recent World Stage campaign shot in moonlit Paris.
Rupert said, "I first got interested in dance as a young boy when I used to come to many, many productions at the Royal Opera House with my mum. We would sit way up in the gods. Mum was a big influence on me, but I first realized that I wanted to dance professionally when I saw a video of Mikhail Baryshnikov dance Don Quixote. That was when I realized what I definitely wanted to do."
Sarah Lamb
See Sarah in our recent World Stage campaign shot in Arizona.
Sarah said, "The first time I appeared onstage at the Royal Opera House was as one of the solo couples in Requiem, in October 2004. I was being promenaded by Yohei Sasaki and I remember looking out into the audience for the first time – I couldn't believe how close the people were. None of the theatres in the US had boxes, as there was no royalty, and it was startling to look out and see faces instead of just a black abyss."

DETROIT – The Detroit Red Wings find themselves in a very unfamiliar spot this late in the regular season.
With seven games left on their schedule, the Wings have yet to lockup a berth in the playoffs, where they've competed for the Stanley Cup 21 consecutive seasons.
"It's going to come right down to the wire," defenseman Niklas Kronwall said. "Every game is huge, obviously."
The Wings earned two points out a possible four in their back-to-back games against San Jose and Chicago, falling in a shootout to both teams.
Heading into play Saturday, Detroit holds down the eighth seed, two points up on Dallas, which had played one less came than the Wings.
The Stars made up that game Saturday night, hosting San Jose, and with a win over the Sharks would move ahead of Detroit in the standings since they hold the tiebreaker (regulation and overtime wins, or ROW) on the Wings.
Prior to Saturday, Dallas had 18 ROW, while Detroit had just 17.
"We've got to keep our heads high and stay focused and positive on what we have to do," Kronwall said. "It is what it is. There's no time for feeling sorry for ourselves."
Phoenix (10th) and Columbus (11th) are also two points behind the Wings, but both teams have fewer ROW. The Coyotes have 15 and Blue Jackets have 14.
Minnesota is just a point ahead of Detroit in the standings as well, but also have played one less game and have more ROW (18). The Wild hosted Columbus Saturday night.
Normally at this time of the season the Wings are focused on seeding instead of just finding a way to get into the playoffs.
"You are what you are," Wings coach Mike Babcock said. "This is what we earned this year. This is what our team is. We're no better or no worse than we are. We're just a team battling to get in the playoffs. Win a game, that's all. To me, we take the same approach we have every year, try to win games and get better."
The Wings' current streak of 21 consecutive trips to the postseason is the longest active streak of any North American major professional sports leagues.
San Jose is next in the NHL with eight consecutive trips to the playoffs.
During the Wings' current streak they've won their division 14 times. The lowest seed they've had was sixth (2009-10).
Four of Detroit's final seven regular season games are on the road, including the next three in a row that begins tonight in Nashville.
Three of those games are against teams close to or have been eliminated from playoffs consideration. Two are against teams close to locking up spots and the other two are against teams in a similar spot as the Wings.
"The good thing is all the games matter," forward Henrik Zetterberg said. "We didn't do that before. We're playing playoff hockey right now. I think it's a good test for us."
The key games down the stretch for the Wings are a week from Monday when they host Phoenix and then close out the season on April 27 in Dallas.
"We're still in the driver's seat and control our own destiny," goalie Jimmy Howard said. "Now, we've got to look to get two points on Sunday."
But like the Los Angeles Kings proved last season, just get into the playoffs and anything can happen. The Kings qualified as the eighth seed in the Western Conference last year and went onto win their first Stanley Cup.
"For us, it's about going out there every single night and getting points," Howard said. "We can't really look too far ahead to the playoffs."
During the Wings' current postseason run, the New York Islanders have missed the playoffs 15 times, while Carolina and Florida both have failed to qualify 14 times.

I have found Margaretha!
Thanks to input from Judy Stewart, it appears that I've located Margaretha in Toledo. She is a sibling to Joseph Plenzler. Margaretha married Michael Mruk and they settled into the neighborhood near Joseph and Eva at 1465 Vance. Per the 1900 census, Margaretha and Michael emigrated to the US in 1884 and 16 children were born to Margaretha, 9 of whom survived per the census.
I have not yet found immigration records for the Mruks; however, through church and census records, I have located these children:
- Tecla, born about 1873
- Stanley, born about 1876
- Mary, born about 1880
- Stanislawa, born April 17, 1885 and baptized April 19, 1885
- Martin, born September 28, 1887 and baptized October 1, 1887*
- Praxida, born January 5, 1890 and baptized January 5, 1890
- Jacob, born July 19, 1892 and baptized July 20, 1892
- Peter, born May 28, 1894 and baptized May 28, 1894
- Joseph, born March 3, 1896 and baptized March 3, 1896
* If you read the entire document that contains Martin Mruk's baptism record, note that Joseph and Eva had a child baptized during the same period: Stanislaus who was born October 25, 1887 and baptized October 26, 1887. There is a note indicating Stanislaus passed away on May 18, 1888.
Michael Mruk was godfather (or baptism sponsor) to my grandfather, John Plenzler.
Tecla Mruk married John Przybylski and per the 1900 census, she and her family were living next door to her parents at 1461 Vance. (Another Przybylski/Plenzler marriage!)
Mary married John Zielinski. Mary passed away on September 6, 1938 per her Ohio death certificate.
Margaretha passed away February 15, 1904. Her death was recorded through St. Anthony's parish and she is buried at Calvary Cemetery.

The Gerson Diet
Have you heard anything about the Gerson Diet? If so, what opinion do you have regarding its success and validity?
Katrina Claghorn, RD, Section Editor of OncoLink's Nutrition During Cancer Treatment and Diet and Cancer menus, responds:
Dear Reader,
Max Gerson, a German physician, developed the Gerson diet in the 1940's. The diet, which is often referred to as a metabolic diet, was designed to "stimulate the immune system." It includes a regimen of cleansing and detoxification combined with a vegetarian diet and supplements. The program has been promoted as a treatment for cancer and other autoimmune diseases by Dr. Gerson and his followers.
Dr. Gerson believed that autoimmune disorders were the result of chemicals in foods and the environment poisoning the liver. He also proposed that imbalances in dietary sodium and potassium weakened the immune system and deficiencies of oxygen-supplying enzymes contributed to decreased intestinal flora. His diet attempts to correct the problems he perceives to be causes of cancers and other autoimmune disorders.
The diet requires drinking large amounts of fresh, organic fruit and vegetable juices, originally every hour for 13 hours a day. Meals are organic vegetarian and exclude all animal protein as well as no oils, salt, nuts, berries and processed foods. The diet is supplemented with potassium, thyroid, enzymes, B vitamins, vitamin C and linseed oil. In addition, coffee and castor oil enemas are used to detoxify the liver. Participants in the program are required to discontinue conventional medical therapies. OncoLink strongly opposes this recommendation.
To date the regimen's assumptions have not been scientifically validated. However, the National Institute of Health's Office of Alternative Medicine has been studying the program to determine its effectiveness. While most aspects of the Gerson regimen have no scientific basis, recent research does support the benefits of a low fat, plant based diet in preventing cancer.
The most commonly cited problem associated with the program is that it is very restrictive and difficult to follow. It is also expensive, requiring a visit to one of the Gerson centers for initial detoxification and instruction. Preparation of the juices and meals is extremely time consuming and the organic foods and supplements can be costly. Physical side effects of the treatment may include severe nausea, vomiting, and abdominal cramps, as well as aches and pains.
OncoLink strongly recommends that you alert your physician if you are considering the Gerson regimen. Again, it is not recommended by our editorial board that you discontinue any conventional medical cancer treatments in favor of this or any other unconventional or alternative treatments. Rather, it is suggested that you speak to your physicians and health care team to plan on working complementary treatments into your conventional treatment plan.

Celebrating illustration, design, cartoon and comic art of the mid-20th century.
Tuesday, October 10, 2006
From Rags to Riches
When I was a kid in the mid-1970's, I had a paper route of just over 100 homes on 5 blocks in my neighbourhood - a fairly ambitious undertaking for an 11 year old boy.
When Albert Dorne was 13 years old, in 1917 he managed four New York city news stands.
My paper route earned me approximately $30 a week. That was a substantial amount of pocket money for a kid to have in the 1970's. If I had been a grown man 50 years earlier, in 1926, 30 dollars a week would have been a respectable family income.
Albert Dorne was 22 in 1926 and was earning $500 a week as an illustrator.
By the time the poor boy from New York's East Side slums became the man who painted this 1953 piece (above) of New York's high society, he was as much a part of that world as any of the celebrities who frequented the Stork Club.
4 comments:
I tell ya , nobody could ever accuse Dorne of being a 'lazy' illustrator . When it came to large groupings of people , he certainly didn't cut corners.ReplyDelete
Promises to be a good week. Thanks.
Too true, Dom. Dorne earned every cent he was paid, imo. Thanks for commenting.ReplyDelete
Leif, I'm glad to see you are giving Al Dorne your usual fine treatment. He deserves it! I believe this illustration, or an updated version of it, was adopted by the Stork Club as the cover for their menu. Dorne complained that when word got out he was doing the cover, he was deluged with calls from the "beautiful people" who lobbied him shamelessly to be included in the illustration. Some even offered him bribes!ReplyDelete
A number of your readers seem to have focused on the fact that Dorne could pack a picture so densely with different figures. If you have ever seen Dorne's pencil preliminaries,they show how he builds these crowd scenes. They are miraculous. I like them even better than the finished illustrations. There are a bunch of them in the Famous Artists School materials.
Thanks for your insight, David - that's a fascinating tidbit, and helps confirm Dorne's status among the elite, don't you think?ReplyDelete
You're right, that piece was used as the Stork Club's menu cover. You can see both the outside and the inside of the menu here
...and I'm going to flip through my woefully incomplete FAs volumes for some of those fine Dorne sketches you mentioned!

60% of France Thinks Strauss-Kahn Was Set Up
Accused sex criminal and probable bad-tipper Dominique Strauss-Kahn sits behind bars, repeatedly denied bail out of fears he'll jump a charter flight to the nearest extradition-exempt Club Med locale. Meanwhile, his countrymen have been rallying behind the former IMF head.
Research group CSA conducted a poll, the NY Post reports, in which they found 60% of French citizens believe the popular conspiracy theories that the U.S., working with French President Nicolas Sarkozy, conspired to topple him. How they managed to work in the whole consent angle is of little consequence. The French are nothing if not masters of rationalization. And deflection!
"In some quarters, the question of what is wrong with Strauss-Kahn has almost been replaced by what is wrong with the United States," said Dominique Moisi, of the French International Relations Institute.

Veteran forward Vaclav Prospal retires after 16 seasons in the NHLNHL.com @NHLdotcom
TORONTO - Vaclav Prospal has retired following a 16-year NHL career.
The move wasn't a surprise. Prospal was scheduled to join the Utica Comets ? the Vancouver Canucks' AHL affiliate ? last weekend for games against the Abbotsford Heat.
But after talking with his family, the NHL club said the 38-year-old had decided to retire. The NHL Players' Association made it official Tuesday.
The native of Ceske Budejovice, Czech Republic, appeared in 1,108 career NHL games with Anaheim, Columbus, Florida, the New York Rangers, Ottawa, Philadelphia and Tampa Bay. He registered 255 goals and 765 points.
Philadelphia selected Prospal No. 71 overall in the 1993 NHL entry draft. Five times he had 20 or more goals in a season and recorded more than 50 points on nine occasions.
Prospal enjoyed his best NHL season with Tampa Bay in 2005-'06 when he had 80 points (25 goals, 55 assists).
Prospal also helped the Czech Republic win two world hockey championships and was a member of the country's bronze medal-winning team at the 2006 Olympic Games. Prospal was also named to the Czech's '98 Olympic team that won gold in Nagano, Japan, but didn't play due to injury.
"I loved playing hockey, I loved scoring goals and I loved being a part of the NHL for so many years," Prospal said in a statement. "That said, within minutes of me stepping on the ice for practice last week in Abbotsford, I knew that I wanted to focus on something that was more important than hockey, my family.
"Having spent much of the last 10 months with them waiting for a call to return to the ice, I know now that I would rather be with them at home helping and supporting my wife and being with my kids than playing the game I love so much."

4-18-10 Nationals Park
It was a terrible weekend in terms of ballhawking for me. I had to miss the Friday and Saturday games at PNC Park due to coaching. I could've gone Saturday, but I wouldn't have made the game until 8PM, thereby putting my streak in jeopardy, so I stayed home.
I decided to try and make up some ground by driving to Washington DC for this Sunday day game (after a day game.)
I got to the stadium about a half hour before it was to open. There was virtually no one there when I arrived.
Game: 3 balls (3 hit)
Season: 27 balls (16 hit, 3 thrown, 5 device, 3 found)
Games: 6 games
Average: 4.50 balls per game
Career: 605 balls
Streak: 102 consecutive games attended with at least 1 ball snagged.

April 9, 2006
WORCESTER, Mass. - Men's heavyweight crew was back in action Sunday morning at Lake Quinsigamond competing in the annual Jim Donahue Cup. The varsity eight finished third overall in the cup race, while Williams outdueled WPI for the win.
After last week's win over Columbia and Army, the freshman team was confident in its ability and produced a better starting sequence in Sunday's race. They came off the line quick and clean, opening up a lead on Williams, URI, and a second freshmen boat from Holy Cross. At the 500-meter mark, MIT had just broken open water on Williams, who was continuing to fight hard and had moved out well on the remaining boats.
Once their lead was established, MIT settled into a good rhythm and pushed out to a comfortable margin. They crossed the finish line about 10 seconds before Williams. Four members of the freshmen Williams crew had raced earlier in the day when they won the Donahue Cup, and the MIT freshmen also raced earlier when they (unofficially) won the JV race against WPI, URI and Williams. Needless to say that both Williams and MIT freshmen crews were suitably tired after a full day of racing.
Freshmen heavyweight coach Dan Perkins said, "It's great experience for the team to race twice in quick succession; that's what we will have to do on this course at Eastern Sprints. I think the team is happy with their two performances today, but we're quickly shifting our focus to next weekend. In this sport, you have about an hour to celebrate before you have to worry about the next guy."
Next week the The MIT varsity crews will be in Boston racing for the Compton Cup against Princeton and Harvard. The freshmen will return to Worcester, where they face Trinity, Holy Cross and UMass.

Jurisprudence by the polls
During two days of debate over gay marriage, the Supreme Court considered technical matters of standing, the nature of marriage and constitutional rights, the social science of gay parenting and much else.
The response of top liberal commentators was, Please, don't bore us with the details. Just get on with it.
Story Continued Below
They didn't care particularly that Ted Olson, arguing for the Supreme Court to strike down California's Proposition 8 prohibiting the official recognition of gay marriage, couldn't say when gay marriage had become a constitutional right.
That he was reduced to near-stammering when asked — in light of his argument that Proposition 8 impermissibly took away gay marriage after the California Supreme Court granted it — if it would have been OK if the proposition passed before the court ruling.
That Justice Anthony Kennedy slapped down his contention that interracial marriage had been (in Kennedy's words) "uncharted waters" just like gay marriage when the court struck down a ban on it in 1967. "It was hundreds of years old in the common law countries," Kennedy shot back.
What matters is that the cause of gay marriage is righteous — and, oh yeah, gaining in the polls. For the Left, the nine justices are bit actors in a real-life episode of "The West Wing," where truth, justice, and progressivism always prevail. The Constitution is an incidental, a prop, and — it must be said — often a musty obstacle.
Showing that a disregard for the niceties of self-government in a constitutional republic can be a bipartisan project, Republican supporters of gay marriage have proven themselves just as constitutionally careless.
Maureen Dowd, as usual, perfectly reflected the liberal id. Allowing the political process to play itself out and honoring the court's limited function of merely applying the Constitution as it exists is "cowardice," as the headline on her column on the oral arguments had it. "Their questions," she writes scornfully of the justices, "reflected a unanimous craven impulse: How do we get out of this?"
"Getting out of it" is another way to put "leaving the question to the elected branches of government." Dowd complained that the justices acted like "fuddy-duddies." Yes, if only our robed masters were cooler. Surely, if they had Anna Wintour in for a working lunch at the court's chambers, all this unpleasantness could be worked out with time to spare for planning the September Issue. Dowd scorned the Court proceedings for their lack of emotion. How bitterly disappointing it must be to her that even Sonia Sotomayor, selected by the president in part for her famous empathy, asked questions relating to the law.
In his dispatch, Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank struck a similar tone. He wrote, disapprovingly, "The question is whether the court forces gay-marriage activists to win the right state-by-state." If that is really the question, why should it even be a question? Since when is it an imposition to go out and advance your cause democratically, especially when you are absolutely certain you are going to win?

LSU RB Hill suspended after charge in scuffle
NEW ORLEANS -- East Baton Rouge Parish District Attorney Hillar Moore says his office is formally charging LSU running back Jeremy Hill and another man with misdemeanor simple battery in connection with a late-April scuffle in a bar parking lot.
Moore says Hill and Robert Bayardo, who is not an LSU student, are being charged Monday and will be arraigned on Friday.
The matter has put Hill's 2013 season in doubt because LSU's leading rusher last season is already on probation stemming from his 2012 plea of misdemeanor carnal knowledge of a juvenile.
Moore says Hill's probationary status likely will not be reviewed by the court for possible revocation until the charges have been resolved.
LSU coach Les Miles has suspended Hill pending the outcome of the case.

Roger Burman's 1934 Chevy Coupe
The hot rods Roger Burman builds out of his shop, Lakeside Rods & Rides in Rockwell City, Iowa, are well known to rodders in the Midwest, to readers of R&C and all the other roddin' magazines, and to anybody who pays attention to award-winning, street-worthy rods. Although Roger has applied his skills to a wide variety of cars, from Deuces to Tri-Five Chevys, he is probably best known for his work on fat-fendered cars from the mid '30s through the late '40s.
Like the majority of professional builders, Roger takes on high-end projects for enthusiasts willing to pay to have a pro turn their ideas into rolling reality. However, about once a year, he builds one uncommissioned fiberglass rod, usually a three-window coupe, specifically for resale. Without the constraints of some customer's tastes, desires, or monetary concerns, Roger can cut loose and create a car that is entirely a product of his own imagination and mechanical talent. His most recent example of such a car is this gorgeous '35 Chevy three-window coupe.
The starting point for this particular project was one of Outlaw's '34 Chevy body-and-chassis combinations. These bodies come pretty complete with fenders and grille shell and a 3 5/8-inch chop. A three-piece Rootlieb steel hood was installed. According to Roger, not very much bodywork was necessary to get the car ready for paint–just an ordinary amount of blocking and priming. Since smooth-looking cars are kind of a signature for him, he kept the coupe free of any hardware and trim that would break up the bodylines. That philosophy extends to his choice of paint. He wanted to keep the car monochromatic and wanted "any color that's not black, red, or yellow." Cadillac Autumn Wood Poly, shot by Roger, looks like a perfect choice.
The Outlaw chassis is built on a boxed frame with Mustang II components, including the manual steering, front disc brakes, and spindles. Aldan springs and shocks suspend the coupe. Big wheels are another Roger Burman signature, so when it came time to choose the rolling stock, he went with 20s and 17s. Those are original Boyd Coddington five-spokes wearing low-profile Yokohama tires. The car's clean, contemporary look is carried over on the inside. Custom seats from Interior Supply have been finished in almond UltraLeather from Recovery Room in Omaha. Whiteface VDO gauges were selected for the custom dash. Practically the only shiny pieces are the Billet Specialties Talladega III steering wheel and GM tilt column.
Intending the coupe as a driver, Roger went the reliable route, building a Chevy 350 with a single Edelbrock carb and manifold and HPC blockhugger headers. Arnold Motor Supply in Fort Dodge, Iowa, did the machine work on the heads. The block, heads, GM Bow Tie valve covers, intake, and Billet Specialty air cleaner were shot with body color paint. The result looks great.
Roger debuted the month-old coupe at the '03 NSRA Mid-America Nats in Springfield, Missouri. At the Goodguys Nats in Indy, it was purchased by a car guy from Wisconsin, who drove it to Back To The Fifties a week after that. Now that it's winter, it'll probably be a few months before we see this sweet '34 again. In the meantime, Roger Burman is busy working on another signature fat-fendered coupe.

Kyle Beckerman is among several outstanding players missing from Bradley's recent call ups
With today's announcement that the injury prone and ineffective DaMarcus Beasley has been added to the US squad going down the Guatemala for the most important match of the Bradley era, some suggestions for Coach Bradley. STOP CALLING THE SAME PLAYERS INTO THE NATIONAL TEAM IRRESPECTIVE OF CLUB FORM OR GENERAL QUALITY. In other words, Carlos Bocanegra's performance for Rennes this past weekend is not a reason to call him in ahead of Michael Parkhurst, nor is the fact that Eddie Johnson has not played first team football in months a reason to call him ahead of Kenny Cooper.
After an outstanding first year on the job where Bradley capped almost 80 players, the coach has settled on a mostly comfortable selection of the same 22-25 players for every match. Here are some players that have earned a look with the national team during this cycle who may contribute more than regular Bradley selections.
- Michael Parkhurst: No question exists in my mind that Parkhurst's adept sense of positioning would be an asset to a US side whose defensive performances have been among the worst by an American team in the last 15 years. Could replace Jay DeMerit
- Kenny Cooper: The favorite on Internet message boards, Cooper's 6?3" frame in addition to his excellent touch on the ball (unlike most American strikers) makes him a natural at the national team level. Could replace Brian Ching.
- Jeremiah White: Speed kills and White has made his name in Denmark for it. Could replace Eddie Johnson
- Charlie Davies: At one time Davies was nothing but a speed merchant but these days he's become a more technically gifted and useful player. Could replace Eddie Johnson
- Edson Buddle: Buddle is more than a flash in the pan. He's begun scoring goals and creating chances with minimal service in tough situations. Could replace Eddie Johnson
- Marvell Wynne: We saw how good he is on the ball and in closing down attackers in China. The fact that he is behind Drew Moor in the player pool is simply laughable.
- Kyle Beckerman: One of the most technically gifted American players on the ball. Beckerman is outstanding in the attack but wouldn't fit into Bob Bradley's bucket. Maybe he could play out wide? Could replace DaMarcus Beasley or Clint Dempsey.
I am sure some other names should be on this list and am anxious to hear the thoughts of our readers.

Memory Monday: Playing Dress-Up
One of the costumes was a light brown skirt with African animals on it, each animal having a little straw tail. The second was my favorite, a satiny, iridescent midnight-blue skirt with a blue-black mesh over it – very glamorous. Both of these skirts were my mother's, and on my five-to-seven-year-old frame, they swept the ground, just like a formal dress. Mom must have let me wear them because she no longer did at that point. I can understand why she might have tired of the first one, but the blue one – incomprehensible! It was absolutely fabulous.
Once I tried on a pair of her high heels with one of the skirts. That was the beginning and end of my history with high heels.
The third outfit consisted of a grass skirt that my Uncle Bill brought back from Hawaii combined with a paper punch-out crown.
There are no pictures of me in any of these outfits or in any of my Halloween costumes.
Of my daughters, however, almost every third picture in our albums shows them in dress-up or a costume of some kind, or at least a funny hat or silly glasses. Halloween costumes were never retired, just passed down and reinvented. When our daughters were younger, Halloween for the entire neighborhood was a major holiday. Almost every kid on our half of the block assembled into a huge, churning mass of princesses, Power Rangers, animals, and characters out of history and fiction. This inaugurated Dress-Up Season, which lasted through Christmas and all the way through winter. Actually, it went year round, but Halloween and Christmas supplied new costumes, which always signaled a change in fantasy games.
Not all dress-up required dedicated costumes: towels or underwear worn on their heads, underpants worn on the outside, towels tied on with a belt, a toy bucket or potty training toilet seat on the head for a hat – we have ample photographic evidence of all these original creations.
When my older daughter was three years old, our next door neighbor gave her a Christmas present that launched a major tradition: the dress-up box. Over the next few years I would add to it by combing the local thrift stores for scarves, skirts, belts, and hats that only cost a dollar or two apiece. Each year's ballet recital costumes also got added to the mix. It was a rare day of play with friends that did not include a dress-up session. There were even things that the boys could wear, such as pirate outfits and firefighter's hats.
Not more than a few years ago some old neighborhood friends who had moved to Michigan returned to visit. The girls, all in their teens, dressed up in some of the same long dresses that had engulfed them when there were little, and proceeded to prance around and dance, totally unself-conscious. Just like the good old days….
A few pictures from my daughters' dress-up days, representing only a tiny fraction of the pictures featuring them in costume:
My daughters were crazy about Peter Pan, particularly Tiger Lily. In fact, they had a major obsession with the very politically incorrect Ugg-a-Wuggs, as they referred to the Indians. We had to play the "Ugg-a-Wugg" song roughly a million times during their childhood.
"I a Ugg-a-Wugg. I on a warpaff."
Here the girls stare in fascination as "People Peter Pan" (as opposed to "Cartoon Peter Pan," which they also loved, but not quite as much) plays on the TV screen. The Indian girl costumes were probably the most often-worn costumes of all.

NOW THIS IS A CLASSIC post! I love the photos! CUTE does not describe!!ReplyDelete
Thank you, Carol. These are some of the pictures that bring back the most memories for us and make us laugh the most. To bad I can't show the picture of my younger daughter with a toilet seat on her head....ReplyDelete
I guess the "toilet seat" photo would be like the one of my two sons dressed up like pioneers....it was during the time that my youngest (then about age 2)decided that he didn't want to wear any clothes below his waist. I always tried to shot the pix from his waist up! Great post, Greta and it reminds me that I do have one photo of myself and a girlfriend "dressed up" back in the 50's.ReplyDelete
What great pictures and fun memories. My five year old is in the midst of the dress-up era and it is hysterical to watch and photograph. She certainly makes her little sister laugh anyway.ReplyDelete
Loved your post - every kid ought to have a dress up box! Would have loved to see photographs of the toilet seat though! We used to have a fur stole in our dress up box. The unfortunate critter still had his head attached to one end...ReplyDelete
Linda - we have so many funny pictures that I can never post publicly, especially that toilet seat one!ReplyDelete
Tracy - this is such a funny age, especially when they get so creative. You can just never take too many pictures at this age.
Karen - Yes, there was some sort of furry thing in my daughters' box, too, but it got pretty mangy-looking pretty quickly.

7 Aum Arivu and The Degradation of the Dravidian Movement
7 Aum Arivu isn't just marred by its naked anti-Chinese jingoism (a jingoism that testifies to nothing so much as to a pervasive feeling of inferiority on the part of many in India's bourgeoisie with respect to its gigantic, and economically far more successful, neighbor; as well as to a clandestine envy of the authoritarianism that characterizes the People's Republic); it goes further, and tries to graft this xenophobia onto the gestures of the Dravidian movement, perhaps trying to update the latter even as the politicians and ideologies clamoring about it have long since emptied it of almost everything other than ethnic chauvinism. Thus, in the finest fascist traditions, Tamil identity in this film is about Tamil blood, about the genes as it were -- so much so that Bodhidharman's contemporary descendant doesn't need to learn anything, undergo any training, in order to become like his super-powered ancestor. He simply needs to be made aware of his (biological) heritage (more accurately, a cultural heritage that is simply a biological inheritance); that awareness, married to modern scientific wizardry, suffices to make him a new Bodhidharman. This isn't mere symbolism: time and again, characters in the film (most notably the young scientist played by Shruti Haasan) announce it too. The message is dinned into our heads: it is blood that matters, and "our" inheritance has been stolen by others, and used against us (it is typical of this film's dimwitted ethos that it never pauses to reflect on why Bodhidharman himself taught his learning to the inhabitants of a Chinese village; if nothing else, the ancestor seems to have been far less provincial than his contemporary urban descendant). History is nothing more than ethnic chauvinism -- "we" were the first, the best, the most, and some combination of villainy and our own indifference conspires to keep us in chains. It's a fairy story, and even as tales go, a rather stale and not especially insightful tale.
Murugadoss doesn't stop with the rather standard "supremacist" approach common to revivalists and xenophobes the world over. In fits and starts, his script remembers that it needs to be chauvinistic in an especially Dravidian way, and thus we are treated to the specter of Shruti Haasan being mocked by senior professors for speaking in Tamil (a scene so ludicrous and incongruous given the context, it verges on spoof, of the film closing with Surya's character chiding Hinduism for replacing the scientific/rationalist bases of Indian culture with ritual and cult; the true god of Reason obscured by false idols, as it were. This much is standard, lifted from the texts of Periyar and others -- but whatever one thought of Periyar's ideology, it found expression in a context of resistance and revolt (against Brahminical dominance; the social "backwardness" of various castes; and the Sanskritization that implicitly or explicitly held Tamil culture inferior). Today, after four decades of rule by this or that (more or less) Dravidian party in Tamil Nadu, and a movement that has been rather successful in many of its cultural aims (although not at all in Periyar's anti-Hinduism), Murugadoss' gestures seem lazy and stale, and directed at soft targets.
I might have been more forgiving of these gestures if they were more sincere -- but they are utterly cynical. 7 Aum Arivu is a film where Surya deploys blond highlights for much of the film; just about every song is saturated in the imagery and aesthetics of American music videos (Harris Jayaraj's music is also very far from the rootedness of Ilaiyaraja or Rahman at their Tamil best; in fact it is miles from even the popular Tamil music feel of Jayaraj's own Samurai, and is utterly bland, generic, and forgettable); and then there's Shruti Haasan, whose Tamil accent sounds off even to my non-Tamil ear, and whose Bollywoody, manipulated appearance brings to mind the long tradition of Tamil films casting light-skinned North Indian women as heroines. When Shruti Haasan mouths Tamil nationalist dialogs, I didn't even get to taking offense -- I laughed, and I laughed.

Isn't she a tamilian..someone who grew up in Chennai, half-tamil dad?
- Qalandar said...
I believe she is...
in that case, why do you *doubt* her tamil? Just because she is fair-skinned, you are sterotyping and forming prejudiced opinions, kanna? Are tamil brahmins fair-skinned?
- Qalandar said...
It's her accent -- even to a non-native speaker, it sounds off.
Not on accents but when I *saw* heard her recently in Delhi (was some sort of newspaper conference), she was eloquent, wise, mature, articulate and didn't need a prepared speech/paper to look in, while talking. For someone so young and having the background she has (2 famous parents etc), I felt she was level headed with head on shoulders..sophisticated in her thoughts, well rounded.
Haven't watched her in any movies yet to really judge her acting (lack of) skills.

BANGOR, Maine - The Adrian College football team opened the 2011 season in historic fashion on Friday night (Sept. 2) with a 77-7 win over Husson University. The 77 points scored are the most in school history as the Bulldogs scored 11 touchdowns (6 passing, 5 rushing) and racked up 667 total yards while holding the Eagles to 113 total yards, including 14 in the first half.
Freshman running back Ce'Juwon McFerrin had a debut to remember with three rushing touchdowns in the first half. McFerrin finished the game with nine carries for 58 yards. He scampered five yards and two yards in the first quarter to stake Adrian to a 21-0 lead. He also scored with 4:22 left in the second quarter to help AC take a 49-0 lead into halftime.
Junior quarterback Brandon Miller also had a stellar debut with the Bulldogs. Miller completed 16-of-23 passes for 320 yards and four touchdowns. He tossed his first two touchdowns to Mitch Gabriele and also tossed a 48-yarder to Justin Hemm and a 48-yarder to Danny Cobb. Gabriele finished with nine catches for 109 yards to lead the team in both categories. Hemm had four catches for 89 yards.
Shuan Hladki and D'ante Thompson also caught TD passes in the second half from freshman Aaron Tenney. Hladki caught a 56-yard bomb midway through the third quarter and Thompson caught an 11-yard fade route with 11:48 left in the game. Tenney finished 2-of-4 for 67 yards.
The defense was led by junior Chris Janes with seven tackles and a fumble recovery. Joe Makowski had a pair of sacks for a loss of 20 yards and tallied four tackles. Bryan Garbarino had a pair of assisted tackles and a 14-yard interception return. The Bulldogs return to action on Saturday, Sept. 10 at Defiance College. Kickoff is slated for 1:30 p.m. against the Yellow Jackets.

In our last article together, I covered a topic that's going to be near and dear to all of our hearts sometime in the next two weeks.
I am, of course, speaking once again about levelling with the coming expansion.
I know, I know, you're all just jumping for joy but let me tell you right now, when Cataclysm hits and you leave behind all those other struggling warriors behind in the dust, you'll be glad that you thought ahead.
Keep in mind too that while this article is mainly focused on warriors and the push from level 80-85, the general principles will also apply to levelling from 1-85 as well, given how early that dual talent specializations are available and the new cheaper price for it.
So we've covered various aspects and methods for levelling last week and by now, if you've been reading, you'll have at least a general idea of which method would suit your playstyle more. What this week's article will cover is how to increase your efficiency regardless of which path you choose.
Dual specializations are a powerful tool when it comes to levelling, especially when you consider it on a class that's capable of tanking.
The obvious and logical thing to do is to keep one spec reserved for your tanking spec while the other spec goes for a damage dealing spec.
The tanking spec is obvious. As this is a tanking blog, you'll reap the benefits of being able to tank with a few moment's notice. By having that option available to you, you'll skip a LOT of time in the LFG tool as tanks are always the limiting factor. As an added benefit, if you should choose to pull together a group without using the LFG tool, you can build up a solid friends list of people that are efficient and good at their jobs for future reference, sort of like building up a list of contacts for a resume.
As a levelling tank, if you're good at what you do, you have the unique opportunity to be noticed, have people on your server recognize your name so that in the future, when and if you're looking for a guild, those memories can reflect well on you.
While it's definitely true that the same can be said for DPS and healers, it's noticable to a much smaller extent compared to the tank.
Take advantage of it while you're levelling. Make note of the healers and DPS on your server that strike you as good players and keep them on your friends list. Ask them along if you're planning on running a dungeon and offer them a quicker queue time and build up that rapport because whether they're in your guild or not, whether you're in a guild or not, those contacts WILL pay off.
Sometime down the road, your guild might be looking for a good healer or a damage dealer and they'll be looking for a new home. Or conversely, you might be dissatisfied with your current guild once level 85 raiding and it WILL be easier to find a new home if you have a solid playerbase on your server that knows that you're a skilled and efficient tank.
So keep in mind that the push up from 80-85 or from 1-85 isn't just a grind and it isn't just a levelling experience. Look at it as an opportunity to build up your list of contacts on your server and I guarantee you that if you help and develop good players as you level, it'll pay off in spades once the end game comes around.

Prepared meals and incentivized weight-loss program for obese and overweight women
In another article being released early online, Cheryl L. Rock, Ph.D., R.D., from Moores UCSD Cancer Center, La Jolla, Calif., and colleagues, conducted a randomized controlled trial of weight loss and weight maintenance in 442 overweight or obese women (BMI, 25 – 40), ages 18 to 69, over a two year period with follow-up between November 2007 and April 2010.
The women were randomized into three intervention groups: in-person, center-based (167 women) or telephone based (164 women) weekly one-to-one weight loss counseling, including free-of-charge prepackaged prepared foods (from Jenny Craig, Inc.) and increased physical activity for 30 minutes a day, five days a week. The participants were eventually transitioned to a meal plan that was not based mainly on the commercial program. The third group was the usual care group (111 women) who received two individualized weight loss counseling sessions with a dietetics professional and monthly contacts. All participants were provided a small monetary compensation ($25) for each completed clinic visit.
At 24 months, weight data were available for 407 of the 442 women (92.1 percent of the study sample). The average weight loss for the women participating in the center-based group was about 16 pounds or 7.9 percent of their initial weight, about 14 pounds or 6.8 percent for the telephone-based group, and about 4.5 pounds for the usual care control group. "By study end, more than half in either intervention group (62 percent of center-based [n=103] and 56 percent [n=91] of telephone-based participants) had a weight loss of at least 5 percent compared with 29 percent (n=32) of usual care participants," the authors report.
"Findings from this study suggest that this incentivized structured weight loss program with free prepared meals can effectively promote weight loss compared with usual care group," the authors comment. "Importantly, weight loss was largely maintained at two-year follow-up." They note that even small percentage weight changes can result in a reduction of risk for cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
In conclusion the authors write: "For clinical practitioners, the evidence suggests that the structured program as applied in this study provides another route for their overweight and obese patients to achieve and maintain weight loss through behavioral changes for at least a two-year period."

Editor's Note: Dr. Rock reported serving on the advisory board for Jenny Craig from 2003 – 2004. The study was supported by Jenny Craig, Inc. (Carlsbad, Calif.), which provided program activities, materials, and prepackaged food to individuals assigned to the commercial weight loss program. Funding was provided through a clinical trial contract to the coordinating center (School of Medicine, University of California, San Diego), which subsequently disbursed funds to the collaborating clinical sites and the laboratories. Please see the article for additional information, including other authors, author contributions and affiliations, financial disclosures, funding and support, etc.
Editorial: Treatment Options for Obesity
In an accompanying editorial, Rena R. Wing, Ph.D., from the Warren Alpert Medical School, Brown University and Miriam Hospital, Providence, R.I., writes, "… the results of the trial reported by Rock et al probably represent a best-case scenario."
"The findings of this trial by Rock et al raise the possibility that if structured commercial weight loss programs could be provided free of charge to participants, both retention and average weight loss outcomes might be far better than when participants must pay for these programs."
"Currently, insurance companies will often cover the cost of bariatric surgery for obesity (estimated at $19,000 - $29,000 per patient from insurance reimbursement data) but do not cover the cost of commercial weight loss programs (such as that evaluated in this study, with estimated costs of approximately $1,600 for 12 weeks of the program and for food.) Providing commercial weight loss programs free to charge to participants might be a worthwhile health care investment."

European Commission - Press release
Creative Europe: Commission unveils plan to boost cultural and creative sectors
Brussels, 23 November 2011 – Thousands of people working in cinema, TV, culture, music, performing arts, heritage and related areas would benefit from increased EU support under the new 'Creative Europe' programme unveiled by the European Commission today. With a proposed budget of €1.8 billion1 for the period 2014-2020, it would be a much-needed boost for the cultural and creative industries, which are a major source of jobs and growth in Europe. The new programme would allocate more than €900 million in support of the cinema and audiovisual sector (area covered by current MEDIA programme) and almost € 500 million for culture. The Commission is also proposing to allocate more than €210 million for a new financial guarantee facility, which would enable small operators to access up to €1 billion in bank loans, as well as around €60 million in support of policy cooperation and fostering innovative approaches to audience building and new business models.
"This investment will help tens of thousands of culture and audiovisual professionals to make the most of the Single Market and to reach new audiences in Europe and beyond; without this support, it would be difficult or impossible for them to break into new markets. Creative Europe also promotes cultural and linguistic diversity, as well as contributing to our Europe 2020 objectives for jobs and sustainable growth," said Androulla Vassiliou, Commissioner for Education, Culture Multilingualism and Youth.
The Commission's Creative Europe proposal would enable:
Creative Europe will build on the experience and success of the Culture and MEDIA programmes which have supported the cultural and audiovisual sectors for more than 20 years.
The proposed budget for Creative Europe represents a 34% increase on current spending levels. In 2007-13, the MEDIA programme received €755 million, with an additional €15 million for MEDIA Mundus which supports international cooperation in the audiovisual sector. The Culture programme was allocated €400 million in the current financial framework.
The European cultural and creative sectors represent up to 4.5% of European GDP and account for some 3.8% of the EU workforce (8.5 million people).
EU support will help them make the most of the opportunities created by globalisation and the digital shift. It will also enable them to overcome challenges such as market fragmentation and difficulties in accessing financing, as well as contributing to better policy-making by making it easier to share know-how and experience.
Next steps
The Creative Europe proposal is now under discussion by the Council (27 Member States) and the European Parliament who will take the final decision on the budgetary framework for 2014-2020.
