FAO studies on urban food demand
Rapid urbanization is making new and increasing demands for food on the agricultural sector. Quantitative and qualitative differences exist between urban and rural food consumption patterns. Dietary energy intakes appear to be lower among urban people, especially low-income groups. The urban diet emphasizes low-cost, ready-to-eat or easily prepared foods, introducing concerns about food safety and nutritional adequacy. During 1986 FAO initiated a series of studies which address the policy and programme issues involved. An interregional FAO/UNFPA project is supporting investigations by local institutions in Bogota, Caracas, Abidjan, Dakar, Yaoundé, Kinshasa, Jakarta, and Manila over a two-year period with a US$400,000 budget.
The results of these studies will provide information useful for national policy-makers and planners in the concerned countries and in countries with similar problems. National seminars will be held in several of the study countries at which the results will be discussed, and an expert consultation on the subject will be organized during 1988.
Nutrition and primary health care workshop report
A workshop on "Methodological Issues in the Anthropological Assessment of Programmes in Nutrition and Primary Health Care,'' the third meeting of the UNU Nutrition and Primary Health Care (N/PHC) Research Network, was held in Colombo, Sri Lanka, 16-20 February 1987. It was attended by 15 members of the network, from Asia, Africa, and Latin America, who are all presently engaged in fieldwork related to the anthropological assessment of N/PHC programmes in their respective countries, together with representatives from UNICEF, other international development agencies, and universities. Dr. Ranjit Senaratne was host for the workshop, which was sponsored by the UNU, UNICEF, and WHO.
After the inauguration of the workshop by the Minister of Health of Sri Lanka, Dr. R. Atapattu, each researcher reviewed progress and problems encountered to date in their on-going field activities, with special emphasis on methodological aspects of their work. This research is being carried out largely in rural regions of the world. Concentration is on both rural household-level perceptions of N/PHC programmes and health practitioners' perceptions and activities; thus both patient and practitioner perspectives are obtained.
The information provided in the country-specific summaries
formed the basis for the following general discussions on: -conceptual
issues: key concepts of research such as health-seeking
behaviour, decision-making, etc.; cognition and behaviour;
symbolic interaction;
-methodological issues: the RAP (rapid assessment procedures) approach; field techniques of participant-observation, structured interviewing, focus groups, etc.; quantitative and qualitative data analysis;
-substantive issues: quantitative and qualitative description and generalization; macro-level/micro-level linkages between the health bureaucracy and the local communities; community participation
-policy issues: the involvement of policy-makers in the research process; dissemination of research findings; influencing policy-making; researcher/health provider/user interactions.
Small task forces of workshop participants then took the
following actions in four major areas: -Training: Basics for the
training of other local researchers to conduct N/PHC
anthropological assessment utilizing the RAP approach were
-Networking: It was decided to establish an RAP newsletter; regional meetings for Asia, and Latin America were also planned.
-Work plan: Schedules for various publications of research findings were set forth.
-Phase integration: Some guidelines were provided for integrating the findings from the first phase of the research, concerning household-level perceptions of N/PHC programmes, with the second phase, which concerns health practitioners.
A further refinement of the RAP methodology was obtained from the discussions of this lively workshop and is presented in detail in the volume Rapid Assessment Procedures for Nutrition and Primary Health Care: Anthropological Approaches to Improving Programme Effectiveness, by Susan Scrimshaw and Elena Hurtado (jointly published by the United Nations University, UNICEF, and the UCLA Latin American Center, Los Angeles, Calif., USA, 1987).
Recently the first issue of RAP News was published in July 1987 and distributed internationally.
The following countries are represented in the UNU
N/PHC network:
-in Asia: India, Korea, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka,Thailand;
-in Africa: Kenya, Malawai, Nigeria, Somalia, Zaire;
-in Latin America: Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador,Guatemala.
Previous meetings of the network were held in Geneva in 1984 and in Bellagio, Italy, in 1985. The final meeting of the network will be held in July 1988 in Zagreb, Yugoslavia, in conjunction with the 12th International Congress of Anthropological and Ethnological Sciences.
International Dietary Energy Consultancy Group
Thirty scientists from 15 countries met in Guatemala City, 37 August 1987, for the first meeting of the International Dietary Energy Consultancy Group (IDECG ).
The IDECG was established a year earlier under the sponsorship
of the UNU and the IUNS and with the endorsement of the SON. Its
objectives are:
-the compilation and interpretation of relevant research data on the functional and other consequences of deficiency, change, or excess of dietary energy; -the identification of related research needs and priorities and the promotion of needed research;
-the publication of scientific and policy statements and other information on the significance of chronic deficiencies and excesses of dietary energy;
-the identification and promotion of appropriate and practical means of corrective action.
Chronic energy deficiency was the focus of the Guatemala meeting. State-of-the-art papers were presented on the effects of chronic energy malnutrition on behavioural development (E. Pollitt), the effects of chronic energy deficiency on stature, work capacity, and productivity (G. B. Spurr), socioeconomic consequences of and responses to food deprivation (R. B. Thomas, M. Immink, and B. To -run), seasonality in energy metabolism (A. Ferro Luzzi), chronic energy deficiency and the effects of energy supplementation (N. G. Norgan), research related to metabolic adaptation to low energy intake (W. P. T. James), and maternal energy requirements during pregnancy and lactation (J. V. G. A. Durnin). Research needs and priorities in all these areas were discussed.
This information was supplemented by reports on ongoing or recently completed studies in India (J. V. G. A. Durnin and V. Shetty), Benin (J. van Raaij), Ethiopia, (A. Ferro-Luzzi), the Gambia (A. Prentice), Colombia (J. C. Reina), Guatemala (M. Immink and B. Torún), the Philippines (P. de Guzman and L. Adair), Indonesia (M. A. Husaini), Egypt (O. Galal), and Mexico (G. Pelto and L. Allen).
On the third day, the participants worked in three groups preparing reports on available knowledge, policy implications, and needed research on how chronic energy deficiency can affect pregnancy, lactation, and childhood, work capacity and work performance, and social and economic development. One of the working groups dealt with the structure, function, and financing of the IDECG.
State-of-the-art papers and working group reports will be published.
Additional information on the IDECG can be obtained from B. Schurch, Secretary General of IDECG, c/o The Nestle Foundation, P.O. Box 581, 1001 Lausanne, Switzerland.

Meetings held
The third EUROFOODS conference was held at the National Food and Nutrition Institute in Warsaw, Poland, 2328 May 1987, as a satellite conference to the Fifth European Nutrition Conference (20-23 May). From all reports this was a successful meeting; details will be published as soon as they are received.
An OCEANIAFOODS conference, sponsored by the Australian Department of Health and attended by delegates from Fiji, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, the South Pacific Commission, and Australia, was held at Canberra, 12-15 May 1987. The delegates to the meeting recommended the establishment of a collaborative network of groups active in the Oceania region in the production and management of food composition data. The aim of this network, to be formally called OCEANIAFOODS, would be to develop regional cooperation in the production, management, and use of food composition data. Initially the network would comprise Australia, New Zealand, the South Pacific Commission, and any other country in the region wishing to participate. Additionally, OCEANIAFOODS would seek to establish specific liaison with INFOODS, ASIAFOODS, and relevant workers at the University of Hawaii. Ruth English, of the Australian Commonwealth Department of Health, was selected to be the convenor/chairman of the executive committee of OCEANIAFOODS for an initial period of two years. For additional information contact: Mrs. Ruth English, Chief Nutritionist, National Health and Medical Research Council, P.O. Box 100, Woden, A.C.T. 2606, Australia.

SCN news
The following actions and decisions were outcomes of the 13th session of the Sub-committee on Nutrition (SCN) of the UN Administrative Committee on Co-ordination (ACC), held in Washington, D.C., 2-6 March 1987.
The SCN approved a resolution on "Economic recession, adjustment policies and nutrition" which was forwarded, together with a four-point statement on the topic, to the ACC for consideration.
A proposal for expanding nutritional surveillance would continue to be developed and a meeting would be held in 1987 for recommending indicators.
The International Dietary Energy Consultative Group would take up consideration of issues surrounding the elimination of severe protein-energy malnutrition and reduction of infant/child mortality from it, in the light of the SCN consensus that strategies must continue to be based on prevention through social development and, in particular, primary health care.
Two workshops would be organized to follow up the achievements of the SCN Working Group on Nutrition in Agriculture, in particular the successful results of the 1984 workshop on plant breeding and nutrition with the Consultative Group of International Agricultural Research Centers.
The SCN would pursue a proposal to hold a global symposium on nutrition programmes, and would circulate a paper on criteria for project selection.
A preliminary draft report on SCN research priorities would be referred to member agencies and to the consultative groups for anaemia, energy, iodine deficiency disorders, and vitamin A for revision, with follow-up activity in fostering research envisaged for bilateral agencies.
An Iodine Deficiency Disorders Working Group was formed, with J. P. Greaves of UNICEF as its 1987/88 Chairman, and will develop a 10-year programme of support for prevention and control of iodine-deficiency disorders.
The SCN offered suggestions to member agencies for a planned workshop on food and nutrition aspects of disaster response.
The SCN will assist UNU initiatives in preparing a conference on the behavioural consequences of iron deficiency.
Budgetary priorities for the SCN programme and secretariat
during 1987/88 would be:
(a) reporting on the world nutrition situation, and resource flows relevant to nutrition,
(b) coordinating and assisting development of nutritional surveillance,
(c) preparing for the International Symposium on Nutritional Programmes,
(d) co-ordinating and developing research priorities,
(e) circulating information, including a trial newsletter.

Hello, everyone!
Thank you so much for your response to my last news. I still haven't got the Internet in my new home, and getting all of your comments at once was quite overwhelming – in a good way. Thank you!
Things are good here, albeit hot – and although Orange has been royally messing up with my phone connection – not once, not twice, but THREE times. For now. If things go well I may have the Internet by the middle of next week, but I'm not holding my breath.
Ms Cutie was an absolute trooper during the trip – as long as she could be on my lap, she slept. She loves her new flat.
I've been busy settling in and preparing for my new job, but have also started sewing again. No home feels like home until you've started sewing in it – don't you think? For the first time since I started sewing, I have a comfortable space to sew and organize my stash, and it's been wonderful. It's amazing how more efficient you can be when you actually have enough room for your hobby!
I made view B (three-quarter sleeves) in a burgundy/black wrinkled poly. The hand is similar to taffeta, but thicker than the usual stuff.
The fabric is moiré (the burgundy thread is interwoven with black), and therefore very hard to photograph. The pictures absolutely do not do it justice, and make the jacket look far shinier than it actually is. The sheen is very subtle IRL.
I made the jacket a few months ago, and then was swept up in the whirlwind of end-of-year work related to my previous post, combined with the taking up of my new job. As a consequence, I don't remember all the construction details.
What I do remember, however, is that this was an excellent pattern, with nice finishing details and good instructions. Making this jacket was time-consuming and at times challenging, but well worth the effort.
Hmm, I should probably photograph the jacket on my dressform to have more control over what the camera captures.
I lined the jacket with China silk. Too bad I didn't press it before making the shoots. Oh well.
I'm usually more of a Vogue seamstress when it comes to the Big 4, but this got me all interested in McCall's patterns again. Not that they offer that many styles that I like; but I believe their jacket designs are often better than the rest of their collections. I'd like to make another of their jackets for the beginning of the academic year.
The dress is New Look 6643, which I made two years ago. Still one of my favourite dresses – I always feel confident in it.
I have quite a backlog of projects to post : Butterick 5032, Vogue 8571 (this is what P'tite Mignonne is lounging on in the picture opening this post), a reconstruction of New Look 6557, and a maxi dress, Simplicity 3803 (apparently not on the Simplicity website anymore). Oh, and a slipcover for the sofa. I just couldn't face the risk of P'tite Mignonne using the beautiful skai sofa as a scratchpole.
I have a few projects lined up, too; and just placed an order for more (5!) dress patterns. The climate here demands that dresses be worn day in, day out, and I can never have enough of them right now.

When you reach for your coffee cup, you're pretty sure you'll be able to pick it up and take a sip. Most likely, you count on being able to do it again and again and again.
Of course, executing even simple moves is more complicated than it feels. In order to perform this or any other action, multiple neurons must signal your muscles to carry out the task.
But how, exactly, does the activity of many neurons translate into precise movement?
Sung-Min Park in the MBL laboratory where he conducted his researchSung-Min Park spent the summer trying to find out. In August, Mr. Park — who will graduate with both M.D. and Ph.D. degrees from Einstein's Medical Scientist Training program in 2013 — completed a Grass Foundation Fellowship in which he attempted to answer the question: "Is Neuronal Averaging Possible?" Grass Foundation Fellowships enable early-stage investigators planning careers in neuroscience to carry out independent research projects at the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) in Woods Hole, Massachusetts.
Simply put, Mr. Park wanted to find out how single neurons in the cerebellum (the part of the brain that coordinates physical movement) could 'listen' to the electrical activity of lots of other neurons, and translate it into a signal for precise motor movement.
"Sung-Min was addressing one of the most fundamental questions in neuroscience," said his Einstein mentor, Dr. Kamran Khodakhah, professor of neuroscience. "While our physical movements are quite precise, individual neurons signal variably."
Born and raised in Hawaii, in a family of academics, Mr. Park knew early on where his interests lay. "The brain always fascinated me," he said. "In college I fell in love with neuroscience. I'm interested in how we humans became such sophisticated computers."
For his project, Mr. Park worked from a hypothesis asserting that the brain could average signals the way we average a pool of numbers. Although scientists have suspected as much for decades, "No one had actually shown that each neuron is capable of averaging information to provide an accurate signal," said Dr. Khodakhah.
While viewing individual rat neurons under a microscope, Mr. Park attached tiny electrodes to the cells and recorded the electrical voltage. The resulting data was transmitted to a computerized device that created a read-out similar to an EKG. "Looking at it, we could see whether the output signals were the average of the input signals," he explained.
After running many trials on each of the rat neurons at his disposal, Mr. Park's data strongly suggested that the neurons could, in fact, average. It is, he said, "a definite possibility."
Sung-Min with his Einstein mentor, Dr. Kamran Khodakhah"The next step might be to find out under which conditions neurons can do this in the nervous system, and where, as this is particularly important," suggested Dr. Felix Schweizer, co-director of the Grass Fellowship Program.
Mr. Park agreed, noting that in the future, neuronal averaging might be put to clinical use in a number of ways. For example, knowing that individual brain cells are capable of such sophisticated calculation could support the current theories behind brain machine interface technology — devices that enable a person's neuronal activity to control prosthetic limbs and other assistive devices. Understanding how nervous systems reduce the electrical "noise" in individual neurons also might be helpful in understanding motor disorders, such as ataxia.
During his 14-week research stint at the MBL, he worked closely with six other Grass Fellows and the directors of the program, who were very helpful. They assisted him in setting up computer codes and offered suggestions on how to modify his experiments and analyze the results.
Dr. Schweizer, who played a role in selecting Grass Fellows this year, observed, "Sung-Min proposed a concise project that was feasible in the time allotted. Also, his project was exciting and he had the wherewithal to do it."
When Mr. Park completes the M.D.-Ph.D. program at Einstein in 2013, he hopes to do research and clinical work in neurology, psychiatry or rehabilitative medicine. But for now, he's satisfied to have gained a better understanding of the building blocks of life.
He noted, "The most important thing I've learned is how incredibly complex a single cell can be — and how much electrical and molecular computation a single cell can do."
Note: Grass Fellowships are open to students who are currently working on or have recently completed their Ph.D.s. For more information, visit the Grass Foundation online at www.grassfoundation.org.

Optician is the term most of us use to describe our eye care professional. But there are actually three different types of eye care professional.
An ophthalmologist is a doctor who specializes in eye care. They examine your eyes for damage and disease and carry out surgery when necessary. Ophthalmologists also prescribe and fit glasses or contact lenses.
An optometrist tests, diagnoses and corrects vision problems and issues prescriptions for glasses or contact lenses if needed.
An optician (or 'dispensing optician') works from prescriptions provided by an ophthalmologist or optometrist to fit patients with the right optical correction (glasses or contact lenses).
There are three things you should keep in mind when visiting an optician: check, ask and relax.
How recently your last full eye examination was & more importantly the suggested date for your next. Make sure you are in professional hands: always see a certified and registered optician. Most display their up-to-date registration certificate on their premises, but if not, you can ask to see it.
Tell your optician if you have any concerns about the health of your eyes. He or she will consult or refer you to an optometrist or ophthalmologist if needed. It's their job to look after your optical health, so they will be happy to answer your questions.
If you are getting glasses for the first time, don't worry. Opticians work closely with people of all ages to correct their sight, and are experienced at helping them make the transition to eyewear. They will give you all the advice you need based on your visual, professional and personal needs.

The past week has been eventful here at Noble Samurai HQ, and we wanted to bring you up to speed with the state of the Keyword Research module in Market Samurai.
Google announced in May this year that it would be replacing the Keyword Tool with its new Keyword Planner – you can read more about it here.
The official word was they'd be retiring the Keyword Tool towards the end of July, so we immediately set ourselves the task of making our Keyword Research module work with the Keyword Planner.
After 4 weeks, hundreds of cans of Pepsi Max, and countless lines of code by our development team, we had a version of Market Samurai that was working with the Keyword Planner – but we had yet to put it through proper testing.
Fast forward to Friday of last week, we had a handful of reports trickling in through our support queue about the current Keyword Research module not loading for some users.
Internal testing couldn't replicate the issue (as is so often the case!), so we asked the users to submit debug logs. Upon viewing the debug logs it became apparent that Google had begun forcing a grouping of Adwords users to use the Keyword Planner.
So we've had to accelerate our schedule.
What does this mean for the Keyword Research module?
From a users' point of view, the Keyword Research module should still function very similar to how it did before. Most of the changes have been made behind the scenes, and we've done our best to minimise the impact on your workflow – 95% of users will continue to use the old Keyword Tool version for the time being, and there will be no noticeable change to the Keyword Research module for these users.
When you perform Keyword Research, Market Samurai will check to see if you still have access to the Keyword Tool and run the current version of the app. If Google has switched your Adwords account to use the Keyword Planner, Market Samurai will detect this, and let you know that you need to update to a special version that works with the Keyword Planner.
The main change to the Keyword Research module is that it now defaults to using Exact Match data, whereas it used to default to Broad Match.
If you don't know the difference between the match types, here's a quick rundown of how they differ:
- Exact Searches – With the match type set to 'exact match', the SEO traffic figure relates to how many people are typing in the exact term you are researching. For example, if your keyword is 'trout fishing' then the SEOT for the exact search would indicate how many people typed the exact phrase 'trout fishing' into Google and clicked through to visit the number one ranked site in the search results.
Broad Searches – With the match type set to 'broad match', the SEO traffic figure relates to how many people are searching for a phrase containing the words 'trout' and 'fishing' (in any word order) along with additional words, and then clicking through to visit the number one site in the search results.
Phrase Searches – With the match type set to 'phrase match', the SEO traffic figure relates to how many people are searching for a phrase containing the words in your keyword in that specific word order, and then clicking through to visit the number one site in the search results.
Why we chose to go with Exact Match data
When we launched Market Samurai a little under 5 years ago, it was very popular in the SEO community to use the Broad Match Type for doing SEO purposes. The logic was that if you were to get a #1 ranking for the keyword "dog training", then you would often get a #1 ranking for "training dog" and many long-tail variants of the keywords.
However, over the years, with constant revisions of Google's algorithm and increased search engine competition, this has shown to be less and less true as general rule.
We have heard countless reports from our customers who've achieved #1 rankings for a keyword who have indicated that the exact match traffic predictions are much more in line with their actual observed traffic, rather than the overly optimistic broad match estimates.
As a result, over time the consensus in the SEO community has shifted to favour Exact Match data, as you can only really optimize your site for exact keyword phrases.
Many of our uses reached out to us and asked us about this, and if you take a look at this thread on the Warrior forum, you'll see that most people recommend using Exact Match instead of Broad Match as it makes much more sense when you are doing Keyword Research for SEO purposes - so it makes sense to make it the default from now on.
Our current recommendation is to optimize for the exact match keywords, and if you get any additional traffic (as you will no doubt still get) due to also picking up some long-tail rankings then treat that as a bonus. It is much better to be cautious and underestimate your results and get "nice surprises" than to expect an avalanche of traffic by basing your goals on over-optimistic broad match data.
A word about Keyword Research Presets
As Google has released their Keyword Planner ahead of their stated deadlines we still haven't had much time to tweak the Keyword Research filter presets to produce optimal results for basic keyword research scenarios.
We'll be working over the next few weeks to refine these filters. If you have some recommended settings that have been working for you, please feel free to share them in the comments below!
For the time being, if you aren't getting back as many results when doing keyword research as you'd expect, then you may want to relax the filters a bit to filter fewer keywords out, as Exact Match numbers will tend be much lower than their Broad or Phrase Match counterparts.
We'd love to hear your feedback!
We still have a number of improvements that we will be implementing over the coming weeks, including a speedup of the entire Keyword Research module. We'll also be updating our training materials to ensure that they match the latest version of Market Samurai.
As this new and improved version of the Keyword Research module rolls out to users, we really need you guys to let us know what you like (or don't like) about the new version so that we can prioritise the new features accordingly.
If you'd like to try out the new Keyword Planner version of Market Samurai, or have any feedback about the new build, please send an email to email@example.com - our support team is eagerly awaiting your feedback!

Like this Chicken Feeder...a jar screws into the middle and then the chickens feed from the holes on the side.
Not for me though!!!
The part on the top where the jar would go holds your candle.
The holes on the side where the chickens would feed from, holds flowers, berries or evergreen.
Perfect little arrangement.
Don't forget about Christmas too!!
This is an electric candle if you are worried about the candle near the decorations.
I also did another post in the past with a chicken feeder....a pincushion!! Click HERE to see that post!!
Visit your local farmer supply and get a chicken feeder of your own. I've seen them in flea markets too. I bought mine at our Tractor Supply Store.
Happy Tool Time,

I'll Get to the Dumb New $6 Billion Rumor for Facebook Later, But First It's Walt and Anton!
Posts are coming soon on the now-the-Bubble 2.0-has-definitively-arrived $6 billion boy-out rumor–what Microsoft will pay to get start-up cover star Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook–floated by former Internet analyst Henry Blodget this week.
I would say consider the source, but Blodget–despite his tainted reputation from Bubble 1.0–is still savvy about this arena and is probably right that Microsoft has got to be considering a run at the hotsy-totsy company of the moment, as I have said is Google.
That one has more legs–and the price would be even higher, as Google has jacked up its spending. Why not? Its own stock is at bubble highs, too, and it is making acquisitions as if it were Speed Racer. Careful, Speed!
Speaking of moving fast, if he does get a price in this lofty range, I would say Zuckerberg's a fool for not taking the money and running. But wait–he can't run, he's in flip-flops.
And while it had the chance to be at this high-roller table once, by the way, at least Yahoo can't afford this heady game of stupid, inflated money-chasing the very-nice-but-woefully-tiny Facebook. Maybe Yahoo's luck is changing!
Until then, enjoy our own little amusement comparing our beloved Walt Mossberg with Anton Ego from the new kids' movie, "Ratatouille."
When our very talented Web genius Adam Tow ginned this up with a goatee beard and iPhone, too (pretty much all you need to know it's Walt), I knew I had no choice but to post it.
Our apologies to Pixar, but this renewed dot-com frenzy has us all a little silly, doesn't it?
Please see this disclosure related to me and Google.

British Go Journal No. 66. November 1985. Page 31a.
Brian Chandler
This is the answer to the problem posed on page 21.
Diagram 1
Black must resist the temptation to throw in at 2, a move that "looks natural". Of course this move "works" - White cannot make an eye and the seki is maintained. But now count the points again. White has gained an extra prisoner (the stone at 2), so wins by one point!
This is something of a trick question, because there are actually two loony moves. If Black tries to be too clever, he will say: "Ah, but White needs two more moves for an eye, so I shall pass".
Diagram 2
Black 2 passes.
Unfortunately, when White plays 3, black now has no choice but to throw in at 4, so once more white has an extra prisoner and wins by a point.
Black's only correct response to White's original move 1 is to play from the outside at 3 in Dia 2, spoiling the eye in the most trivial manner possible.
The moral of this problem is that Go is won by the player with the most points at the end of the game, not the player who makes the cleverest moves.
The problem is unusual in another way: The loony move was played by a computer program (Alan Scarff's MicroGo1). For a computer it was a very high calibre blunder indeed.

UPDATE: April 4th 2015
This website was called My Health Struggles originally, but I had to change domain names and decided to dedicate it purely to Pancreatitis. That should explain any references you see to the previous site in any of the pancreatitis stories you will find on here.
Problems Posting or Logging In?
Some of you may know that I became an internet entrepreneur awhile back, since that move, I have to focus on whatever is the hottest site / YouTube Channel first. This website began dropping in rankings because you guys didn't share it on Twitter, Facebook, or other social sites. Unfortunately, these days, that's what needs to happen in order for a website to gain popularity, and I really need your help promoting it. I can only do so much myself, but rest assured I wrote many articles on how I transformed my life from being ruined by Pancreatitis. The strange thing is that once I got pancreatitis under control, a freak car accident during a Walmart trip has put me into a new painful situation, this time with my back. Anyways, my hope for this website was to bring awareness to the fact that doctors don't know as much about pancreatitis as mature patients do. The articles I posted here and the comments from other pancreatitis patients can transform your life!
Do You Want Me To Work On This Site More?
If you appreciate how much effort I put into sharing my diet tips, stress tips, and overall proecudre I used to conquer my pancreatitis for the most part, PLEASE don't forget to share this website on Facebook pages, Twitter circles using hashtags, and other health forums. It's the only way to get the word out.
I've done the research, and I don't know of too many people that have helped as many people as I have with this disease. Hopefully you guys will get this website popular again so that I can dedicate at least 1 full workday a week to improving the site and sharing more of my pancreatitis stories with you.
Recently Google contacted me to be featured in the Adsense Most Successful Publishers Series on their Blog and YouTube Channel. I am a Web Publisher these days, and the Adsense product SAVED MY HEALTH! I generally am not a big fan of being a public person, but recently I realized that by being a public person, I will be able to reach a wider audience, which can help promote this website and help a lot of pancreatitis sufferers all over the world.Currently I'm looking for someone who can convert all the articles into the top 10 most popular language, so that everyone can benefit around the world from the commuinities informaiton.
Spanish Pancreatitis Forum: Foro Pancreatitis en Español
I was able to reduce my stress by working from home, which was a lot less stressful than running a award wining construction company that was swallowed up by the housing bubble and a hardship which might have been avoided. For more on that, read my bio on the Simply Additions website. It's an award winning Home Improvement website .
I have learned a lot since my first shockingly painful bout with pancreatitis. This website is a pet project of mine in my personal mission to bring awareness to what actually works in preventing pancreatitis from destroying your life.
A Little About Me
I highly recommend that you read my bio on the business site Simply Additions, because it will enlighten you as to who I really am. The video above is a clip from a Google Hangout that I was invited to for a series on their Adsense Blog and their Adsense Channel on YouTube. regarding successful web publishers using their products. The health problem I mention in the video is pancreatitis. Let this video be the proof you need that people DO HEAL from pancreatitis on their own as well as with a doctors intervention. Although my methods may not work for everyone, the general knowledge you will learn in the pancreatitis forum will greatly exceed your expectations and your personal outlook on your future. Yes, I still get pancreatitis, but it hardly ever happens any more. At my worst I was getting a ridiculously painful flare-up every six days. Now I have gaps over a year long between bouts and they are generally less painful as well.
If you or someone you know has pancreatitis, do yourself a HUGE FAVOR and READ THIS FREE INFORMATION!!! This is a pet project of mine and my sole mission is to help other people learn more and get the real facts from me and many many other people who have commented in our community forum. I welcome any site suggestions that you feel can really improve this website into something that you would actually use to help yourself to up to date comments from all around the world about pancreatitis. We have Twitter FEEDS piping in to give you a one stop information outpost for anything concerning factual pancreatitis information. We're not powered by doctors, we're powered by our own dedication to doing everything within reason in an effort to subdue the dreadful effects pancreatitis produces.

Peter Morgan's play, "Frost/Nixon," currently at the Colonial Theatre, vividly takes you back to the years immediately after Nixon resigned in disgrace.
This month of change in Washington is a reminder that our national sport is politics, an obsession that starts at the top, where every day seems to bring a new drama for whoever occupies the White House.
Richard Nixon, of course, created more drama just about any president in history thanks to his direct involvement in the Watergate scandal.THEATER REVIEW FROST/NIXON through Feb. 8 at the Colonial Theatre, 106 Boylston St., Boston. Tickets: $35-$81. Call 800-982-2787, or visit www. broadwayacross
Peter Morgan's play, "Frost/Nixon," currently at the Colonial Theatre, vividly takes you back to the years immediately after Nixon resigned in disgrace. The scene is a home in sunny Southern California, where the 37th president is looking to rehabilitate his image and fatten his wallet by agreeing to a series of televised interviews in 1977 with British talk-show host David Frost.
The play has been a hit both in London, where it debuted in 2006 and later on Broadway, picking up raves and awards on both sides of the pond. And in December, it spawned an Academy Award-nominated film directed by Ron Howard.
The play confirms that the rituals and honors of the position serve to obscure the fact that the men in the Oval Office are sometimes ordinary, and even more often flawed, like the legendary heroes of ancient Greek tragedy – no one more so than Richard Milhous Nixon. A brilliant man who won significant victories in foreign relations, including the 1972 arms treaty with the Soviet Union and the first overtures to China, Nixon escalated the Vietnam War and bombed Cambodia, which made him hugely unpopular in many circles. However, it was the Watergate break-in at the offices of the Democratic National Committee, a criminal act which Nixon knew about and tried to cover up, that extinguished his presidency.
Stacy Keach, one of the most accomplished American actors (Mike Hammer on TV), plays Nixon for the man's primal qualities. Nixon could barely conceal his personality tics, in contrast to his political genius and ability to manipulate others. Keach is a stocky man, heavier than Nixon, but the actor has studied the former President's posture, his manner of lowering his head and thrusting with his chin, not to mention the goofy gestures of victory, and inappropriate joking. Frank Langella, who played Nixon in London and New York, as well as the film, brought out more of the reptilian quality of the man, coiled and ready to strike despite his pretended affability, yet Keach's gutter-appeal brings out alternate aspects of the man's complex personality.
The English actor, Alan Cox, portrays Frost as a nail-biter, worried about his career, which has hit a rough patch. His physical contrast to Keach is extreme. Cox is a slim, small-boned, light-haired man who seems to dance around his adversary by the end. And each man has much to win or lose which ups the suspense. Director Michael Grandage has staged a swift and taut progression to the final moments of Nixon's confession.
The sequence of events is narrated by several of the other people involved: Frost's team of researchers; Nixon's chief of staff, Jack Brennan (Ted Koch); Nixon's Hollywood agent, Swifty Lazar (former American Repertory Theater actor Stephen Rowe) who negotiates the $600,000 payment Nixon receives for the interview; and Mike Wallace (also Rowe), on the television screen at the rear of the stage.
The action is pushed by a series of televised images, and bits of the interviews projected out to us, as if we were the 1977 home audience. The final close-up of Keach as Nixon, his face a study in panic, fear, and a sort of relief – eyes drooping, mouth curled to the side, those jowls even lower than remembered –forms a theatrical portrait worthy of the American history books.

THE TOUGH CUSTOMER- Root of it: Dental bills put bite on credit
A visit to the dentist might be expected to cause a day or two of mouth and gum discomfort, but not a four-year pain in the neck. Unfortunately, that's what it gave Earlysville resident Dan Brown, a former Marine helicopter pilot and currently a teacher at Monticello High School.
Brown and his family visited the office of dentist Scott Knierim in February and March of 2003 for routine maintenance. All were insured at the time. As they had done previously, the Browns made their co-pays and figured they were done for the year.
Several months later, however, Brown received a $942 bill from Dr. Knierim's office for the visits. Brown called the office and says he was told the insurance claims for the visits had not been filed, but that it would be taken care of, and he could ignore the bill.
Another bill arrived in the fall, however, generating a similar call and a similar promise that the claim would be filed. And he adds that a third contact occurred sometime in early 2005, when, Brown says, he was told the earlier problems were due to office staff who were no longer with the practice and, yet again, that the claim would be filed.
Admittedly (and understandably), Brown's memory of dates and specific occurrences is a bit fuzzy, and since at the time he did not expect a protracted problem, he was not documenting his activities. He does recall, however, that the contact was sporadic. "We wouldn't hear anything and think it was fine," he told me, "then we'd get something."
The matter was still hanging over Brown's head through the summer of 2005. Brown apparently wrote the practice on August 25– he can't specifically recall what caused him to do so– to provide his family's insurance information.
Still, according to Brown, no insurance claim was ever filed.
There the matter sat until Brown received a collections letter from Charlottesville Bureau of Credit (CBC) in late 2005 or early 2006. Brown contacted CBC to explain he didn't owe the money, but was told to take it up with Dr. Knierim. So again he called Dr. Knierim's office, but was told to speak to CBC.
Paging Joseph Heller!
The matter took an even more serious turn later in 2006, when Brown was rejected for a student loan for his daughter– a matter since resolved– because CBC had dinged his credit report.
Then in February of this year, CBC threatened Brown with litigation, which is when he finally got in touch with the Hook.
Dr. Knierim, citing patient confidentiality, said he could not discuss Brown's specific situation with me. He said, however, that patients typically receive "multiple opportunities" to clear up billing problems, including monthly statements, at least one phone call, and a "We're-sending-this-to-collections" warning letter.
He added that when problems like this typically arise, it is due to patients providing incorrect insurance information and subsequently ignoring the plethora of bills and warning letters that land in their mailboxes, until something dire– say a collections letter or a dinged credit report– spurs them to action. By then, the insurance provider doesn't want to deal with the claim any longer.
That said, Dr. Knierim agreed to resolve this matter and said he will first seek to halt CBC's collection efforts. Brown, in the meantime, is to meet with the practice's office manager to go over his account. The next step will depend on what that review shows.
Dr. Kneirim said that in his 35 years of experience, most problems like this could be fixed by "better communication." I couldn't agree more, and Brown and Dr. Knierim finally are heading in that direction. We'll be checking back with them to see how it went. #

Story wreaks of bad staffing and office procedures. I will avoid that place like the plague.
Thanks for running this story. Dr. Knierim did precisely the same thing to me and my family a couple years ago.
Dr. Knierim's explanation made me and my wife laugh, because he's lying through his teeth. His office manager tells you one thing, then does another. And they can always fall back on the paperwork that every patient signs, obliging you to pay any balance regardless of insurance.
I wonder how many more people he's treated this way. Thanks for alerting Charlottesville to how this man runs his practice. People deserve honesty from their health care provider, and you won't get it from Knierim or his employees.
If you two had read the update on the Brown case, you would have noticed that the Brown family admitted they were in the wrong. And both parties settled w/ and smile and a handshake. So therefore don't judge anyone until you know the facts.
Just to clarify, Dan Brown did not "admit" he was "in the wrong" in the sense of saying his dispute with Dr. Knierim was completely his (Brown's) fault. He said he realized that poor communication from both parties was one of the reasons for the dispute, and said, "Yes, I'm willing to take some of the blame."
As for both parties settling with a "smile," Brown said he was satisfied with the resolution. To the extent that Smile connotes he was "happy" with it goes, I think, beyond what Brown communicated to me, though as a columnist I would add that I think "satisfied" is a good outcome for both parties.
FYI, the follow up can be found in the Hook's Sept. 13, 2007 issue for anyone to read and evaluate on their own.
Many thanks,
Alan "Tough Customer" Zimmerman
I can tell you as a customer of Knierim's I have been satisfied with his work and so has my family. There have been billing issues but as a responsible adult I follow up with both the dentist AND the insurance provider. I generally do not discard bills until they are resolved. Again as an adult I know I need to follow up since my name is on the bill. Perhaps Brown should take more ownership when bills are received.
The important thing to me is my mouth not the minor issues caused by paperwork & billing.

Kekchi Aborigines from Coban protest a day before the Oxlajuj Baktun celebration at the Tikal Mayan ruins in Peten, Guatemala on Dec. 20, 2012.
Indigenous activists protested outside Guatemala's ancient ruins of Tikal on Thursday as members of the country's poverty-stricken Mayan communities sought to draw international attention to their plight ahead of festivities to mark the end of the Mayan calendar, Reuters reports.
According to the Friends of the Maya Foundation, the present-day Mayan population is around six million, with significant communities in El Salvador, Mexico, Guatemala, Belize and Honduras.

Indigenous people take part in celebrations marking the end of the Mayan age at Iximche archaeological site in Tecpan municipality, Guatemala, on Dec. 20, 2012. Ceremonies are being held to celebrate the end of the Mayan cycle known as Bak'tun 13 and the start of the new Maya Era on December 21.

Another option, if you can afford it, might be to buy you friend all of the alcohol he cares to consume. He may start with beer. But, he will soon realize that liquor is quicker and less fattening. As you know, alcohol is addictive and once it reaches a certain level in the blood, toxic. Beer drinkers rarely have alcohol poisoning. But vodka drinkers often consume too much too fast. Now, all you have to do is wait for an emotionally vulnerable moment. A big win or some significant loss. You build them up if need be. You invite the guy to some place relatively isolated and you lay out the good stuff. Salt and spicy foods and lots of alcohol.Clearly, it is his choice to overindulge himself. All you do is not interfere. (Maybe give some verbal encouragement) Depending on what type of alcohol he indulges in, he may drink himself into unconsciuousness or, preferably, cardiac infarction. Just remember these words, "I tried to get him to stop but he wouldn't listen."Keep in mind, this is all fantasy. But, people have done it. What about you? Would you be able to carry out such a nefarious scheme? Does the means justify the end? Would you prefer to just plant the seeds and wait or would you feed it in order to speed things up?
Banned for talking to yourself.
Quote from: Sinful Hypocrite on April 29, 2014, 06:44:01 PMBanned for talking to yourself.Banned for banning something we all do...unless we're crazy. Crazy people don't talk to themselves. People talk to them in their heads and keep things in order.
I regret to inform you that your test results came back positive... I'm sorry, but you're banned. If it is any comfort, studies have shown that up to 37% of oc.net users could be infected (and the ban could manifest itself at any time), so you are not in this alone. This problem usually arises from promiscuity (using other forums) or drug use (indulging non-orthodox religious practices). Please be careful that you do not get others banned now that you know about all this.

Did You Say, "HMBIM Course Tour?"
Jul 31, 2013
Happy almost August everyone. Although I (Franz) may be a little late to rev-up the HMBIM Course Tour engine I know eveyone has been training to perfection in preparation for our 2013 HMBIM event. While you're out there working hard and logging the miles, so are we! One of my favorite traditions for past HMBIM event has been the course tours. I mean what can beat showcasing our wonderful course, making new running friends, and then seeing them victoriously cross the finish line on race day? Those friendly race day faces are AWESOME. And, I get to know your story. Your personal drive. That folds into really bringing us a meaningful event, from start to finish.
I invite everyone, HMBIM registered runner or not, to come out for a self supported course tour. The Coastside Running Club will give you snippets of the course at 2 week increments and you provide the smiles (we'll probably smile too)!
When: (First Tour) Saturday August 3rd at 9:00 AM
Where: 371 Princeton Ave. Half Moon Bay, CA. (outside EQ Fitness)
Your Hosts:
Franz Dill (HMBIM Assistant RD & Director of Training)
Members of the Coastside Running Club
The Goal:
The HMBIM Course Tours' goal is to bring runners out to the HMBIM course to share some pre-race excitement, develop running friendships, and get a feel for the course. This has been a highlight of the HMBIM in year's past. Leave your tempo training and race pace runs for another day and settle into Conversational Pace (CP) and enjoy some Coastside miles with new friends.
Distances / Course:
We'll be running the Northern section of the course, covered by both the Marathon and 1/2 Marathon with distances of 9, 4.5 miles, and 2 mile options. The course will NOT be marked. However, local members of the Coastside Running Club will be identified pre-run and act as guides throughout your run. We'll also have a limited number of maps for those that want to cruise at their own pace. If you're looking for more miles, I still encourage you to come out and simply and some miles after the Tour.
Here is a course map.
Fluids and Food:
This is a self supported run so bring your favorite food and drink (during and post run). There's water access at mile 4 and 6 (if you're running the 9 miles distance). There's also drink and recovery products available for purchase at EQ Fitness.
Post Run:
A favorite impromptu place to eat afterwards is the Half Moon Bay Brewing Company just around the corner. http://goo.gl/maps/KWYec
See You Saturday!

A small 4x4 suv sleeper!
By Terry on Monday, January 27, 2020An economical, reliable, attractive, low maintenance workhorse. I got this car because my wife liked it and we had had jeeps before [then Subarus, traded in a Forester]. I didn't think I'de like it what with the CVT racing engine et. al. But as I've gotten to know the vehicle I'm amazed and very impressed. Jeep has totally undersold this particular model. 1. Maintenance is really cheap a] Dealer oil & filter change = $25 b] 35K spark plug change = $113 c] 40K CVT filter and fluid change =$114 And so it goes like that! This model jeep was designed as a world vehicle to allow basic type service anywhere. 2. Outdoes all others of this class in 4wd conditions -- works just as good as the Subaru! 3. Surprising MPG with CVT = 21 city, 29 trips 4. Excellent visability and seating support 5. Always starts instantly [coils on each plug wire] 6. High water capable 7. High ground and angle of attack ground clearance, yet fun to drive.

Love it! Perfect First Car
By Brian on Friday, December 01, 2017I got my 2016 Jeep Compass in April last year and have loved it ever since. It may not be a mustang, camaro, or a Big Bad Wrangler, but it still is great. I had never heard of the car till we went to look at it. Its almost a year later are we put in an aftermarket radio and subs and now its popin. Plus people just love it because it has the jeep name. I can be your jeep with out the Jeep price.

The worst
By Mr. Doesn't matter on Wednesday, March 18, 2020This was THE WORST vehicle I've ever owned & I've owned an 30 year old Dodge Dakota. Not fast, not good on gas, not reliable & not built to last. The worse part of this vehicle is the throttle body. It's built & placed at a weird place. It will give u problems every year or so. The part isn't expensive but, u will have to get it put on a computer just to reset it. The 1st time the dealership charged me $1200. 2 years later....yep $1000. DONT BUY THIS CAR!

BUT here's the catch (you don't think I would have left that statement just hanging there, did you?)...because I've been writing anyways. It's been a discipline for me. And it isn't like writing hasn't been fun for me, because it actually has been...but it's been something else keeping me going forward.
And since I usually like to write about what inspires me, I thought about how I could write about that "discipline" that moves me forward. Because, how much could I say about discipline? If I want to write...like, ever...I have to use that particular muscle. That's just the way it is...
So, here's where my writing people came in...
Like I said before, I would be asking these particular questions on the various writing communities I'm in (and if you haven't started following me, and you want to get involved, follow me on Google Plus, Twitter, or like my blog's Facebook page!),
So, I asked my writing communities, "What gets you writing?" And you know what? It's totally different for everyone! Here's what people said...
1) Music
Geoff Bowman (check out his site, "The Composer's Journey" here) told me, "I unfortunately have little control over my own inspiration...I try to write on a regular basis but if it isn't there I just end up with an empty screen."
I can so relate to this feeling, by the way...that awful, awful blank screen...but then I love what he does to overcome that blank screen of (inspirational) death...
Geoff then says to me, "My one savior is music. I make playlists of music that causes me to both feel and visualize the project I'm working on...I'm working on a time-travel related piece right now for example and the song "Mad World" from Donny Darko tends to get my brain thinking aout the kinds of complex views of the world that I need to [think about] in order to write on those lines..."
If you are curious, here's the song Geoff is talking about.
@AmaliaTd confirmed what Geoff said, "...particular songs ALWAYS get me writing. Train's Drops of Jupiter gets me every time"
Here's the song that inspires Amalia's writing:
What music inspires you to write? For me, it's horror music.
2) Schedules
On GooglePlus, another writer wrote a response to my question. Juliette Wade (make sure you check out her blog here!)...told me, "It's important to me that I'm always writing, which means writing every day. Even if it's just pushing ideas forward in my head and not putting anything on paper. I can have a ton of ideas but the thing I need to get myself going is a sense of the core conflict of what I'm writing, and then a first sentence that serves as an entry."
I love Juliette's philosophy, by the way. Even if you aren't writing, but putting ideas together in your head, that still counts! Does writing every day inspire you?
3) Yourself, as a writer.
And then, another writer, Thomas Wilson (check out his blog here) told me, "My stories get me writing, but I usually try and start the day with a meaningful blog post to get my fingers and brain working and then drive back into my stories. I don't let word counts or deadlines interfere with my thinking because it causes negative feelings. [I'm] much more producitve when I am feeling happy and [writing] because I want to!"
How is that for cool? He gets inspired by his own work! Sometimes that torment of leaving characters just stay in the same place as I left them before makes me want to get back to a story! You know, like that Mario game, and Mario shrugs his shoulders at you if you just ignore him. Anyone else get inspired by their own work?
5) Who we know
I love what @lyman_tuttle told me, "That's easy. Attending any family holiday party. Plenty of disorders and dysfunctions to write about for the entire year"
I totally cracked up on that one! Anyone else get inspired by their family get togethers this holiday season?
6) Deadlines
I think what @AprilVak said is right on for a lot of writers! She says, "if not random thoughts that stick in my head, deadlines. I set some for myself that are earlier than the actual deadlines."
Deadlines! I'm awful with deadlines, but they can really push you, for sure! Anyone else get inspired by deadlines? Do you set your own?
So, writers! What gets you writing? What puts that pen to paper? I'm beginning to realize it's so different for all of us...from music to deadlines to the weirdness of the people we know (and love).
Want to be part of next weeks post? Make sure you follow me on Google Plus, Twitter, or like my blog's Facebook page and you will end up part of the post with a link to your twitter account or blog!

AMD's answer to arch-rival Intel's CULV - Consumer Ultra-Low Voltage - processor series is making its way into laptops. MSI has just taken the wraps off the Wind 12 U230, a 12in machine based on two of AMD's 'Congo' chips.
The parts' go-to-market name are the Athlon Neo MV40 and the Athlon Neo X2 L335, being single- and dual-core chips, respectively.
The U230 uses AMD's RS780MN chipset, which has an ATI Radeon HD 3200 graphics core built in to drive the notebook's 1366 x 768 display. The computer also contains up to 4GB of 667MHz or 800MHz DDR 2 memory, depending on model, and between 160GB and 320GB of hard drive storage space.
MSI's Wind 12 U230: sounding a bongo for Congo
Buyers will all get a 1.3Mp webcam, four-in-one memory card reader, Gigabit Ethernet, 802.11n Wi-Fi, VGA, HDMI and a trio of USB 2.0 ports. Some will get Bluetooth, others won't - it depends on where they buy their U230.
Some SKUs will ship with three-cell batteries, others with six-cell power packs.
"Testing proves that the Wind 12 U230, using a power-saving mode setting, can be used for up to four hours so you can enjoy an extended, high performance mobile experience," said MSI. So no challenge for the CULV-based Acer Aspire Timeline 1810TZ, which will deliver well over eight hours' battery life on ordinary settings. We know, we've just tested it.
Alas, there's no word yet on when the U230 will arrive in the UK, or how much it'll set you back when it does. ®

New England editorial roundup
The Nashua (N.H.) Telegraph, Oct. 5, 2012
It's difficult to imagine events going any better for Mitt Romney during Wednesday's presidential debate. He was passionate, well-schooled with facts and chock full of pithy rhetoric � three important attributes missing from President Barack Obama's performance.
The conventional wisdom heading into the debate was that Romney needed to lay out his economic plan in a way that the American people could grasp. He did that better than he has ever done by stressing he would not raise taxes on middle class Americans and would lower taxes on small businesses. Increased revenues would come from growing the economy and creating new jobs. To solve the nation's economic woes, he said he would "rely on the brilliance of our people not the federal government."
From his opening remarks, the president appeared out of place. Perhaps he was coached to act relaxed and well-measured. Contrasted against Romney's exuberance, Obama seemed at times uninterested and challenged to defend his record and, even worse, offer some semblance of a vision for the future. Indeed, his biggest mistake was not offering much evidence that he has a plan for moving forward.
It's pretty bad when Obama's top-of-the-line spin doctors had no choice but to admit to a national audience in the moments after the debate that the president performance was inferior. "Distracted" was the description most frequently used.
The president gave Romney a free ride on issues he could have and should have fought back on with more clarity and vigor, such as Obamacare, Medicare and the plight of the middle class.
In each instance, the president allowed Romney to recast his policies in docile tones of middle of the road muddle.
With miniscule challenge, the former Massachusetts governor was able to transform his liberal-minded health care reform plan into a monument of bipartisan cooperation.
The president failed to call out the true ramifications of a Medicare voucher system pushed by Romney and could have done much better assailing the questionable outcomes of the privatized "Medicare Advantage" program as a solution for holding down medical costs.
Strangest of all, Obama allowed Romney to cast himself as an empathetic fighter for middle class Americans without ever bringing up the "47 percent" question.
During the Republican primary debates, Romney was frequently castigated for his propensity for flip-flopping � a reputation reinforced by the March comments of a high-level campaign official: "Well, I think you hit a reset button for the fall campaign. Everything changes. It's almost like an Etch-A-Sketch. You can kind of shake it up and restart all over again."
That was exactly Romney's mission Wednesday. Hampered by a sputtering campaign and trending downward in some key swing states, he urgently needed a do-over. To his credit, Romney seized the moment by methodically moving through a hit list of issues and tweaking his positions in an effort to transform public perception of his campaign.
The polls will soon tell us how much Romney's show of force resonates with potential voters. However, it would be surprising if he doesn't get a bump in popularity. Whether it will be enough to win him the presidency depends on how much people take to the latest version. Still, his chances are a lot better now than they were.
The Telegram & Gazette of Worcester (Mass.), Oct. 3, 2012
Americans are going to the doctor less, newly released census data show.
In 2010, adults ages 18 to 64 made an average of 3.9 visits to doctors, nurses or other medical providers. In 2001, the figure was 4.8. So in almost a decade, the average person made roughly one fewer visit to a doctor's office per year.
If statistics were symptoms, this one would be hard to diagnose precisely.
Cost is undoubtedly the leading underlying cause, aggravated by the recession, job losses, and large numbers of uninsured people outside Massachusetts. Hefty co-payments likely discourage many patients, too. Other possible explanations include: people in the 18-to-64 age group exercising more and eating better, health care providers doing more phone and email consultations, doctors and patients getting more things accomplished per office visit, and potential patients allaying some health worries or getting some answers online.
The data merit a closer look by health-care administrators and providers.
For the rest of us, the data might nudge people to count up how many times they've been to a doctor in the last 12 months, to see how they compare.
Of course, there really aren't bragging rights in beating the national average if you've stayed away because you've "forgotten" to schedule the annual physical.
When was the last time a stethoscope was pressed to your chest and a little hammer hit against your knee? Getting a regular checkup isn't just a prime opportunity to catch a problem early. It lets us check on our important health numbers � blood pressure, cholesterol, BMI, fasting blood sugar, etc. � so that, with any luck, we can keep the number of other medical visits per year nice and low.

Cienfuegos Botanical Garden, Cuba
The Atkins Institution, located in Cienfuegos, Cuba, became a center for tropical plant research in the early 1900s. It combined research on sugar and other commercial crops with a tropical garden that included thousands of species.
A 1899 meeting between Edwin Atkins, an American sugar planter in Cuba, and Harvard Professors Oakes Ames and George Goodale, established The Harvard Botanic Station for Tropical Research and Sugar Cane Investigation. Mr. Atkins funded the services of Robert M. Grey, a noted horticulturist employed by Professor Ames. Grey focused on the hybridization of sugar cane as well as organizing the planting of trees and plants imported from tropical areas around the world.
In 1920, the ties between the garden and Harvard became more formal with a large endowment provided by Atkins and the recognition of the garden as part of the University. In 1924 the Harvard Biological Laboratory was constructed at the garden. In 1932, administration of the garden was transferred to the Arnold Arboretum and it was officially named the Atkins Institution of the Arnold Arboretum. During the 1930s, the garden reached its peak of beauty and diversity as a tropical arboretum. The garden was used by professors, students and visiting fellows to study tropical botany, and was tended to by local citizens who made up the grounds crew.
In 1946, the Arnold Arboretum's administration of the garden ended, the first resident director, Dr. Arthur G. Kevorkian was appointed, and it was renamed the Atkins Garden and Research Laboratory. As a tropical agricultural research facility it developed more productive varieties of grains and fruits while becoming a popular tourist attraction.
With the Cuban revolution in 1959, conditions became difficult for travel and for maintenance of the Atkins Garden, and in 1962 the U.S. embargo restricted American involvement. The director, Dr. Duncan Clement, left Cuba in 1961 and Harvard terminated its support. The garden is now known as the Cienfuegos Botanical Garden. It is run by the Cuban government and is both a National Monument and a popular tourist destination.

Lawrence Eagleburger: Statesman, Tea-Partier, unusual child-namer
Retired high-level diplomat Lawrence Eagleburger, an Albemarle County resident, has died at the age of 80, according to various reports. Eagleburger, who served George H.W. Bush briefly as Secretary of State, was a widower who lived on Owensville Road near Meriwether Lewis Elementary School.
An outspoken conservative, Eagleburger challenged authority by various means including questioning the readiness of Sarah Palin, participating in a Jefferson Area Tea Party rally, and giving all three sons his own first name, the latter an ego-fueled bid to vex the Social Security Administration– or so he once quipped.
At the 2009 Tax Day rally held at what's now called the nTelos Wireless Pavilion, Eagleburger told the crowd that "Don't Tread on Me" would be an appropriate motto for the Tea Party's lower-tax philosophy.
County records indicate that Eagleburger bought his 21-acre Owensville Road farmette in 1989 and that his interest in low taxes included keeping the place enrolled in Albemarle's so-called "land use" taxation program, with the result that the County discounts its tax value by about $400,000. Eagleburger also owned an additional house in Albemarle, a four-acre spread near Batesville.Read more on: lawrence eagleburger
6 comments
And here's Eagleburger taking back his criticism of Palin:
And here are some comments from Palin showing just how much of a nitwit she is, and making clear that Eagleburger's retraction was unwarranted.
This historically inaccurate quote from Palin on Paul Revere's ride helps to underscore just how obtuse she is:
"He who warned, uh, the British that they weren't gonna be takin' away our arms, uh, by ringing those bells, and um, makin' sure as he's riding his horse through town to send those warning shots and bells that we were going to be sure and we were going to be free, and we were going to be armed." --Sarah Palin, on Paul Revere's midnight ride, June 3, 2011
Nothing relevant to add here, just need to comment on every single story.
Maybe Sarah Palin has a point. Just like Obama warned the Pakistanis we would come get bin Laden! So she would have to agree that Obama is a modern day Paul Revere!!
Not nice to impersonate me. But, as they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
I do have a comment to add here.... he and Marshall Dillion died on the same day.
Eagleburger died at the age of 80 at the University of Virginia Medical Center on Saturday.
I remember one thing admiringly about him.
On the radio one day, in the middle of the Chimp's long run-up of flag-waving hysteria that ushered in that fake war, Eagleburger repeatedly argued that we should accept an Iraq with biological w.m.d., chemical w.m.d., and even "dirty bombs," the expected kind of nuclear w.m.d.,-- the costs of invading would far outweigh they damage we could sustain at home.
I don't even think he was considering the costs of making the conversion to a war economy, where employment by the defense dept. and sub-servants has become "honorable."

Tigers crush Morgan, improve to 2-0
Tigers beat Bears by 20 on Wednesday
Jerrelle Benimon scored 21 points and grabbed 14 rebounds, and Towson defeated Morgan State 95-75 on Tuesday night.
Benimon, a senior, averaged double figures in scoring and rebounding last season when he became the Tigers' first Colonial Athletic Association player of the year. He had 20 double-doubles last season.
The Tigers rolled to their second straight easy victory to start the season after whipping Navy 72-45 last week. Their huge advantage at the line virtually accounted for the final margin. The Tigers hit 30 of 39 free throws to 11 of 21 for the Bears (0-2).
Towson grabbed the lead for good with 16 minutes left in the first half and would lead by as many as 29 in the second half.
Rafriel Guthrie scored 20 points and Jerome Hairston 12 for Towson.
Morgan State was led by Justin Black's 28 points. Anthony Hubbard added 14 and Donte Pretlow 12.
