The study is published in the July 19, 2012 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.

CCAGW Calls for Congress to Deliver on Postal Service 
 

(Washington, D.C.) – Today, in response to the United States Postal Service’s (USPS) announcement that it will default on its future retiree health benefit payment due August 1, the Council for Citizens Against Government Waste (CCAGW) again slammed Congress for failing to enact a meaningful set of structural reforms that would improve USPS’s fiscal health. The Postal Service, which lost $8.5 billion in fiscal year (FY) 2010, $5.1 billion in FY 2011, and $3.3 billion in the first quarter of FY 2012, is literally on the brink of financial ruin and, as with all of the nation’s fiscal problems, Congress is ignoring the problem as it grows increasingly critical.

Atlantic City was the third most popular destination for Memorial Day Weekend searches on the travel site Kayak.com, according to an article on Huffington Post, based on online searches for hotels in Atlantic City.

Lightning to Open Season at Bridgeport Tournament on Nov. 10 and Nov. 11 

WILMINGTON, Del. – A challenging 26-game regular season schedule, which includes a pair of in-season tournaments and 11 home games, awaits for the Goldey-Beacom College men’s basketball team for the 2012-13 season as announced by Coach Chuck Hammond.

The deer population in Hopatcong has long been a hot-topic issue for residents and the governing body. Councilman Mike Francis introduced the most recent deer-hunt proposal in February. Deer in Hopatcong caused 45 motor vehicle accidents in 2009, 53 in 2010 and 114 in 2011, Francis said at the time.

But the borough held off introducing a deer-hunting law June 27, pulling it off a council meeting agenda before residents complained about several aspects of the ordinance. Patch published the law\’s initial incarnation June 21. The first law called for a $250 permit cost.

The new law, which was introduced at Wednesday\’s council meeting, says the deer-management task force would recommend to the council by June 15 of each year \”whether a hunt should take place, the number of permits (to be issued), the areas to be hunted and the time periods for the hunt.\”

Hunters would not be allowed to use guns during the hunts, according to the law.

The task force would be a mayor-appointed entity and its members would serve one-year terms, the law said.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida State’s football coach has told his players they can’t use their Twitter accounts for the rest of the year.

Jimbo Fisher’s move came after some players tweeted objectionable material on their Twitter sites in recent weeks, including one that quoted rap lyrics about killing police officers. The third-year Seminole coach wants his players to be as focused as possible and believes that social media can be a distraction, especially during the season.

Many players shut down their participation on Twitter last year after an early three-game losing streak wiped out their championship hopes.

Florida State is a runaway preseason favorite to win the Atlantic Coast Conference this year behind fifth-year senior quarterback EJ Manuel and a veteran defensive unit that ranked among the nation’s best last season.
