CannonIt's good news for residents of Washington, D.C., that Wal-Mart is planning on opening four stores in the District. Yet Washington Post columnist Robert McCartney reports today on one curious source of opposition: "There'll probably be a lot of shoplifting going on. They'll need a lot of security," Terriea Sutton, 35, said. Brenda Speaks, a Ward 4 ANC commissioner, actually urged blocking construction of the planned store in her ward at Georgia and Missouri avenues NW partly because of that risk. Addressing a small, anti-Wal-Mart rally at City Hall on Monday, Speaks said young people would get criminal records when they couldn't resist the temptation to steal. Of course, that's a rationale for banning all stores, not just Wal-Mart. Perhaps we should isolate these you...

Brenda’s son is diabetic and for five years she has worked tirelessly to raise money for a cure. She’s done an amazing job! Each year she has an online auction with proceeds going to diabetes research. The auction offers a host of things such as vacation packages, books, online classes… really, just about everything you could imagine. There is something for everyone. This year, she raised a whopping $270,611! In five years of fundraising, she has raised $762,298. That figure just amazes me. Never underestimate what you can do!

It was hard enough getting it then. I can’t imagine getting it as a child. The shots, food restrictions, and constant monitoring is a difficult thing for children and their families. That’s why research and funding is needed until there is a cure. To that end, I have another great interview in the Putting a Face on Diabetes series. I’m always amazed at people that get involved. It doesn’t matter how they are involved, to me doing something is so much better than feeling helpless or complaining. To that end, I came across an online diabetes fundraiser a few years ago that was put on by Brenda Novak, an author whose son has diabetes. I was so impressed by her efforts (and wait until ...

The fact that individuals with lower intellectual aptitude demonstrated a stronger positive association between work and higher cognitive performance during retirement suggests that behavior may enhance intellectual reserve, perhaps even years after peak intellectual activity." This is consistent with the Cognitive Reserve theory we discussed in the interview with neuroscientist Yaakov Stern: - AF (Alvaro Fernandez): OK, so our goal is to build that Reserve of neurons, synapses, and skills.

More caregivers and family members have become more open about this disease as it affects a family member or close friend.  They are willing to share and to seek information.  More resources have become available. Why write?  I think my next poll will ask some questions on this topic.  So be thinking about it and vote, as well as leaving comments.
