2014 in Review
2014 was a turning point for me. More happened to me this year than the past 20 years combined in terms of personal growth, income potential, and the scope of my network of contacts. As I look back on the year, some major themes emerged. Within those themes are people, organizations, and mental takeaways that shaped this last year and are going to shape my life well into the future.
This post will be long as I intend it to be a wrap up of a lot of swirling thoughts. Kind of a bookend for this phase and a launch pad for the next phase is how I'm viewing it. Please accept my sincere thanks for landing on this webpage and choosing to journey with me briefly.
I've always loved budgeting and moving resources around to create the best possible outcome. This year I had the opportunity to work as a business development representative for Christian Community Credit Union. When that job came along, no other job had better fit my wheelhouse. This job furthered my understanding of how some people get paid to network. I was able to narrow down what aspects of a job I enjoyed doing day to day. One of these things I enjoyed was setting up meetings and talking to different pastors about how Icould help their church become healthier and do ministry more effectively. I am still great friends with several of the people connected with CCCU and love the mission of the organization.
My transition from spectator and admirer of the political process to that of a participant was interesting on a variety of levels. From October 2013 to November 2014 I worked on the Robert Ming for Orange County Supervisor campaign. Robert is a strong Christian businessman and has since turned into an amazing friend and mentor. Being on his campaign opened my eyes to the layers of influence within society and the complex path it takes to navigate those layers and become elected. It's not simply enough to want to make a positive difference. In order to succeed in politics you must be able to "play the game" to become elected first. It takes an extreme amount of talent to play this game while staying principled. This next campaign cycle I'm looking to manage and consult on the digital side of campaigning for a variety of candidates.
People since early in my life have always commented that they could see me working in politics. Never have I ever had someone walk up to me and say, "You should really think about getting into entertainment." That changed in 2014 when my executive coach, Lucas Miles, brought me on board as an Associate Producer to his feature film, Rodeo Girl. I was able to employ my skills of networking and fundraising from the credit union and my skills of project management from the political campaigning. Being on set in Grand Rapids, MI was an awesome experience and opened my eyes to a new segment of opportunities.
Common across banking, politics, and entertainment is this concept of influence. Countless conversations with everyone I came in contact with circled around this notion. As I said before, it's not simply enough to have a big idea or a desire to change the world. Your character must be influential and charismatic enough to bring others together to achieve the goal.
The best athletes in every sport have coaches. I realized this year that politicians and business owners are the same way. The top performers have mentors, to push them to always be getting better. In 2014, I invested in myself, and took the financial risk of paying for top-level coaching. I have begun to realize the dividends of that investment and believe there are more to come. I also enjoy talking to others and telling them about what I'm learning and sharing with them ideas that I'm implementing throughout business and life.
Seems fitting to end with grace as the final theme. For me it's the number one motivation. My belief in Jesus' teaching as the best way to live drives everything I do. And it's so motivating for me to wake up everyday and know that he routinely chooses to work in people that we may not deem as qualified or influential enough for certain projects. There is no way my 2014 would have been what it turned into if not for his redeeming work in my life.
It's freeing for me now to know that I can take on any project, no matter how big, and use my skill set to push it forward and bring value to others in their pursuit of making a difference.
I'd love to connect by Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and Email, wishing you a productive and successful new year in 2015!

Author: Annie Smithers
A handsome, gifty package, it includes a best-of selection of three and four-course menus collected by Annie over the three years of her restaurant, du Fermier, in Trentham. While part of du Fermier's appeal is undeniably its charming central Victorian location, this farmhouse-style eatery is the sort of place intrepid food lovers might equally stumble across in rural France or Dorset or California. Annie's food is classic French Provincial, presented with a distinct pared back, accessible aesthetic (no fuss, with preparation, anyone can do this!), and determined very much by whatever is thriving in her rambling home vegetable garden in Malmsbury.
$40. inc GST
Annie Smithers is one of Australia's best-regarded female chefs. She has built a distinguished career in the restaurant world since apprenticing with Stephanie Alexander back in 1984 at Alexander's acclaimed eponymous Melbourne restaurant. In the past decade, she has worked in regional Victoria, first at Annie Smithers' Bistrot in Kyneton and, since 2013, at du Fermier ('From the Farmhouse'), her charming, perfectly formed little restaurant in nearby Trentham (central Victoria). Here, she has garnered even more acclaim as a one-woman band, turning out rustic French provincial-style food that is dictated very much by the seasons.

Yoga Teacher Training Forum
Yoga Instructors: Would you like to network with fellow teachers worldwide? Here is a resource to find answers for every possible question regarding continuing education, improving your classes, student safety and much more.
April 27, 2015
Hi Sandra,
Glad you posted on this forum. Like Paul said: See a doctor. You need to find out if this is a bruised muscle, knee joint injury, or both. Sometimes you have to stop practicing Yoga postures to let yourself heal. Nobody can tell the extent of your injuries over the internet. See a doctor in person before resuming your regular yoga routine.

Greece doesn't have a 'Grexit' plan.
Writing on Sunday, the BBC's economics editor Robert Peston reports that there have been essentially no preparations made for a Greek exit from the euro.
Here's Peston:
So the first rather chilling thing I've learned, from well-placed bankers, is there have been no conversations between the Bank of Greece, the government or regulators and Greece's commercial banks about the technicalities of leaving the euro and adopting a new currency.
This is astonishing — and some would say pretty close to criminal — given that on Wednesday night the president of the European Council, former Polish prime minister Donald Tusk, was explicit that this weekend's negotiations were all about whether Greece would stay in the eurozone.
And this seems like a problem.
Right now, Greece is working through a proposal from its European creditors that demand a number of changes by Wednesday just to restart negotiations on a new bailout. A Greek government official called this proposal "very bad."
And this proposal followed the rejection by the Eurogroup of a Greek proposal from late last week that was essentially what Greece called a referendum on, and then rejected.
So, Greece and its prime minister Alexis Tsipras have taken a few steps back politically in the last few days.
And the problem is that this latest Eurogroup proposal included a sentence and contemplated a potential "time-out," or short-term exit of Greece from the euro.
This, then, makes Peston's report quite worrying. For while there is a still a ways to go before Greece would actually find itself exiting the euro, it is certainly close enough to warrant there being contingency plans in place.

Berlin, Germany – The German capital city is growing! With over 3.5 million inhabitants, Berlin is the biggest city in Germany and even decades after reunification, construction is still booming. New developments in the inner city are in particularly high demand. One such development is a 30,000 m² shopping and activity center in the Moabit district of Berlin Mitte – a once working-class district – on the grounds of the former Schultheiss brewery, steeped in tradition.
The client, HGHI Schultheiss Quartier GmbH & Co. KG, is also building 6,000 m² state-of-the-art offices – almost half of which are listed as historical monuments. For the new-builds, BAUER Spezialtiefbau GmbH and JV partner Keller Grundbau GmbH constructed two complex excavation pits with a total area of 11,000 m² in confined inner-city conditions from May 2015 to November 2016.
As the leading technical JV partner, Bauer constructed mixed-in-place walls that were up to 16.5 m in depth, including tie-back anchoring and micro piles for uplift prevention in the building. The contract also included extensive demolition work in the partly historically listed area, foundation engineering and groundwater control. Bauer also sealed the entire subsoil with a silicate gel base – a particularly efficient process for foundation sealing in Berlin with high execution reliability.
Many of the risks associated with creating the base with the jet grouting technique, such as imperfections rising due to obstacles such as wood or large rocks, are eliminated by the use of the silicate gel. It encloses the obstacles and avoids the subsoil loosening due to air ingress, which leads to a subsequent reduction in the bearing behavior of the uplift elements.
During the works, the specialist foundation engineers repeatedly encountered previously unknown well structures on the site of the former brewery and had to adapt their procedures accordingly. The Design Department of BAUER Spezialtiefbau GmbH was responsible for the execution planning. Many devices and equipment from subsidiaries and branches of BAUER Maschinen GmbH were used: two RG pile drivers from RTG Rammtechnik, as well as an anchor drilling rig from Klemm and a MAT mixing plant.

One thing many people struggle with is making the most of their networking activities. It's all very well finding the time to actually attend a networking meeting either weekly or fortnightly, but doing it right can be all too time consuming for some.
Networking isn't simply about showing up and passing business cards around. You need to take the time to think about what it is you want to say – you only have 60 seconds to get your point across and make people remember you. Equally, you also need to commit to the follow up. If you're not going to make the most of any connections or leads that have come your way, you're totally wasting your time rocking up to an event in the first place.
I have one client who attends, on average, six networking events a week. All, bar one, are morning meetings which he likes because he can get them out of the way before most people have started in the office. However, he came to the realisation that he wasn't keeping on top of everything effectively, which meant he was essentially wasting his time, and money, by going to all these different events.
In order to help reduce the strain on his time, and ensure that he is being as efficient as possible with his networking activities we have put a few things in place.
60 Seconds
Once a month we have a 10 minute phone call to brainstorm ideas and catch up on what's been happening in his business. From this chat, and from my general day to day knowledge of what he's been up to, I am able to write his 60 seconds/elevator pitches for him to use.
He prides himself on not using the same information over and over again, as he wants to keep things interesting for the rest of the people in the room. Thankfully I have a great system set up whereby I know what he has said in which group, and when so there is not likely to be any repetition.
When a new member joins one of his groups, or a visitor has attended, he will send me a picture of their business card via WhatsApp. I will then add their details in to his CRM system, along with information of what meeting they attended, if they have been before and if he has set up a one to one meeting with them.
One to Ones
Before you think it, no, I do not attend one to one's on his behalf! We did talk about it once, and I managed to talk him out of it. However, what I will do is liaise with people to book the one to one's in the first place, and send confirmation of the appointment once it has been made.
He then records his one to one meetings on his iPhone, and sends me the audio which I will transcribe. From this I complete a "file note" for him, which will be attached to the individual's record on his CRM and forwarded to them as well. This is to allow them to confirm that he has understood precisely what they do in their business and what sort of opportunities or referrals they are looking for.
I will then add their details in to a database so that in 11 months we will make contact again to arrange another one to one.
When he is handed a referral or lead he will always pass me the details so that I can make the initial contact. I will find out precisely what is required, and pass over any information that the prospect needs to be able to make a decision.
If a meeting needs to be arranged, I will schedule it.
From there, the client handles everything else himself.
This is an approach that works perfectly for him, but might not be ideal for everyone. However, I hope it gives you some idea of how outsourcing some tasks could take the pressure off you, and allow you to be more efficient at work.
If you want to have a chat about how you could improve things in your office, why not give me a call on 0161 883 2024 or email firstname.lastname@example.com

The biggest thing that everyone from the BTN to EsPN seems to be ignoring is that regardless of what happened today at the Breslin Center, Purdue controlled, and still controls, its own destiny.
Before today, if Matty's boys were to win out, Purdue would be the BT Champ, by itself. That's still the case- a win by MSU or aOSU did not change that.
But, there's confusion about the BT regular season title...So here goes.
Tonight's standings are as follows:
Purdue 11-3
Wisconsin 10-5
Illinois 9-5
So this evening, Purdue has a sole lead of the conference race. Great. But, this time next week, it might not look like as great.
But let's pretend for a moment that Purdue loses to Minnesota on Wednesday night...which is a real possibility as Goldy is playing well at home and fighting for their post-season life.
Come next Saturday, the standings will be:
Purdue 11-4
If Purdue beats MSU (Sat. or Sun.) and wins out while aOSU wins out, they'll tie with aOSU for the title. The head-to-head tiebreaker would be another tie. The second tie-breaker would be the team's record versus the next team, or group of teams in the standings. At that point, MSU & Wisconsin would most-likely be tied behind Purdue/aOSU with 5 losses. Purdue would win that tiebreaker for seeding in the tournament as they'd have a composite record v. Wisky/MSU 3-1, aOSU would be 2-1. But, aOSU and Purdue would tie for the regular season BT championship.
But, had aOSU lost today, and Purdue loses to Minny on Wednesday, the race would look like this next Saturday:
Purdue 11-4
Wisc. 10-5
Ill 10-5
If Purdue wins out from that point, including the game v. MSU, they would tie MSU for the BT championship. Purdue would have the head-to-head tiebreaker versus Sparty and would have the #1 seed for the tournament...plus, we as fans would have bragging rights...and we wouldn't have to hear Ohio State fans chirping about being equal to Purdue.
Purdue 14-4
Wisc 13-5
Let's be really clear though- A ton can and will happen between now and the end of the season.
I think Purdue will beat MSU...But Izzo, with 6 days to prepare for Matty, will have the Spartans ready and motivated...especially following today's loss...yet another reason I really didn't want to see MSU lose today.
Just win and this complicated group of circumstances all become quite simple.
Oh, one more thing- Thanks to Pitt for pushing Purdue into the top-3. Can anyone ever remember Purdue ranked that high? I cannot.
The biggest thing that everyone from the BTN to EsPN seems to be ignoring is that regardless of what happened today at the Breslin Center, Purdue controlled, and still controls, its own destiny.

The medicinal properties of tea are attributed to flavonoid phytochemicals called polyphenols. The polyphenols found in tea mainly belong to the subtype called catechins. Green tea has more catechins than black tea. White tea is almost as rich in catechins as green tea but is different in composition and less well studied. The main catechins in green tea include gallocatechin (GC), epigallocatechin (EGC), epicatechin (EC), and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). Due to lack of direct long-tern studies, opinions vary as to how much tea should be consumed for optimal health. Most experts suggest drinking from three to ten cups per day.There have been a number of encouraging studies of skin benefits of green tea. Animal studies showed protection from skin cancer. Both animal and human studies have credibly demonstrated that topical green tea formulations reduce sun damage. Green tea appears to exert sun damage protection by quenching free radicals and reducing inflammation rather than by blocking UV rays. Therefore, green tea may synergistically enhance sun protection when used in addition to a sunscreen.
In particular, because sun protection benefits of green tea are particularly well documented, it makes sense to apply a green tea formula under your sunscreen every day. It is best to combine green tea with zinc oxide-based sunscreens because zinc oxide is chemically inert and will not react with green tea (which some chemical sunscreens might do, especially in sunlight).

Kaspersky Lab chief and glorious global megatroll Eugene Kaspersky made headlines last month when he suggested that Apple is 10 years behind Microsoft when it comes to security. Cupertino's fanboys hated it. But he's right.
Apple's supposed invulnerability is a myth based on ancient history.
Back in 2001, Apple's new Unix-based OS X held clear security superiority over Microsoft's mess. It didn't take a genius to figure out that the well-tested, modular Unix security model was vastly better than the muddled application and system layers of Windows' desktop versions.
Windows' weaknesses were highlighted by a series of attacks including ILOVEYOU in May 2000, the Anna Kournikova virus in February 2001, and the Code Red worm in July 2001. On 18 November 2001, Nimda became the internet's most widespread malware in just 22 minutes.
Not exactly a good look.
Bill Gates agreed. On 15 January 2002 he sent his famous (at least in infosec circles) all-staff memo, Trustworthy Computing. Not "trusted" computing, but trustworthy. Worthy of trust.
"As an industry leader we can and must do better," Gates wrote.
"Our new design approaches need to dramatically reduce the number of such issues that come up in the software that Microsoft, its partners and its customers create. We need to make it automatic for customers to get the benefits of these fixes. Eventually, our software should be so fundamentally secure that customers never even worry about it."
Long story short, Microsoft completely re-engineered the way it developed software. The Security Development Lifecycle (SDL) methodology became the rule and, after years of work and the let-us-never-speak-of-it-again disaster of Windows Vista, it paid off.
Finding Windows a tougher target, the bad guys moved up the stack and attacked Adobe's Acrobat, Reader and Flash Player instead.
Microsoft publishes tools and even a simplified SDL to help anyone make their software more secure. The Microsoft Active Protections Program (MAPP) allows partners to share information about vulnerabilities — although recently one of those partners shared things a little too widely.
So what about Apple?
Well who knows? Everything is SEKRIT in the magical kingdom.
"For the protection of our customers, Apple does not disclose, discuss, or confirm security issues until a full investigation has occurred and any necessary patches or releases are available," says the Apple Product Security website.
Read that carefully. Apple does not even discuss an issue until they've patched it. Issues could exist, be known to Apple, and even be actively exploited — but they won't tell you. Not even a suggested workaround. Nothing must tarnish the image of invulnerability.
Apple still actively promotes that image. Even today, at least on Apple's Australian website, we're told that "a Mac isn't susceptible to the thousands of viruses plaguing Windows-based computers" — in the same way that a petunia isn't susceptible to smallpox — and that you're safe "without any work on your part".
That Java flaw that allowed Flashback to infect 600,000 Macs had been patched by Sun/Oracle in February. Apple's response seems tardy, to say the least — particularly when they seemed able to release the patch within hours once news of the infection broke. Well, they patched Snow Leopard and Lion. Is Leopard still vulnerable? Apple didn't say.
"Nearly every machine in our studio had the Flashback trojan. 7 out of 9 Macs," Sydney-based graphic designer Clinton Duncan tweeted this morning. "Very scary / bad IT guys."
Is Duncan's experience just the beginning? I suspect it is. Microsoft had to experience real grief before the company faced its problems and fixed them. Apple is still in denial.

Sigerson lecture fails to convince
Niall 'The Incredible Sulk' Moyna is at it again. Around this time last year the DCU football manager accused Jim McGuinness of not caring about Martin McElhinney's education because the Donegal boss had taken the outlandish step of asking the player to play for his county rather than his college one weekend.
This time round Moyna is even crosser. And even sillier, reacting to the decision by third-level GAA authorities to refuse Cork's Aidan Walsh and Mayo's Michael Boyle permission to play in the Sigerson Cup for DCU because they didn't fulfil the eligibility criteria by ranting, "Michael Murphy is going to be a PE teacher, so is Paul Flynn and Aidan Walsh. Why should they promote Gaelic games if that is the way they are going to be treated?"
He went on with reference to Walsh, "I certainly won't be encouraging him to promote Gaelic games and I mean that. In my class from now on, I have no intention of promoting Gaelic games."
Ah diddums.
Seeing as Niall Moyna doesn't see why Michael Murphy, Paul Flynn and Aidan Walsh should promote Gaelic games, I'll try and explain it to him. Because the game has been good to them. Because it's given them enjoyment since they were kids. Because it's enabled them to win All-Ireland medals and All Stars and enjoy the admiration of their counties and their country.
And because, most importantly, by promoting Gaelic games they will be saying thank you to the guys in their clubs, in Glenswilly and Fingallians and Kanturk, who passed on the gift of Gaelic football and hurling to them when they were kids and, unlike Niall Moyna, did this work without hauling in a large salary for doing so. Yet in the weird and wonderful world of Niall Moyna all that Murphy and Flynn and Walsh have got from the GAA is rendered unimportant by the fact that their manager didn't get his way the other day. Which can only lead us to believe that Niall Moyna thinks he's a very important man indeed, perhaps more important than the GAA itself.
As for his threat to stop promoting Gaelic games in his classes? I think the GAA might survive this calamity, don't you? You might think that there's an inconsistency between Moyna's stated reluctance to promote Gaelic games and his continued presence as manager of DCU in this year's Sigerson Cup. An unkind explanation would be that it's not Gaelic games he's promoting in that competition, it's himself.
The most worrying thing is that Moyna claims Michael Murphy mentioned the possibility of giving up after the decision went against Walsh and Boyle. The man from DCU's tantrums are ultimately his own business but it's a pity to see him getting players involved in them. Even if Murphy did say that, Moyna should have refrained from using a much younger man, who presumably wouldn't quit the Donegal set-up in a million years, just to make a debating point.
GAA Newsletter
Twelve months ago, Jim McGuinness described Moyna's comments as "pure nonsense". Say what you like about the Niallster, at least he's consistent.

Founded in 2014, Minerva Schools is designed around a new vision of higher education that combines a reinvented curriculum, rigorous academic standards, innovative technology, and an immersive global experience. Students study in seven different cities over the course of four years, where they engage with local civic partners to apply classroom knowledge to practical, real-world problems. Each film in this series highlights how classroom curriculum extends into the urban fabric and shapes their personal, professional and academic growth.
Runtime: Various
"We have worked with Andrew Hida on a range of productions — all of which contributed to telling our brand's fast-evolving story to various audiences. Not only is he an exceptional auteur, with the full compliment of capabilities, but he is adaptive, able to work in multiple modes and collaborative settings. He brings a deep understanding of narrative, pacing, and visual composition, which he drew on to create and direct the Global Immersion series. These skills, coupled with his knowledge of reportage and experience with live, documentary productions make Andrew both a consummate professional and a true pleasure to work with."

The target audiences of this series are prospective students and the parents of these students who are seeking to better understand the Minerva global experience. We wanted the viewer to understand the full spectrum of daily life, from the demanding academics, to the immersive social and co-curricular activities. We needed to quickly convince the viewer why they belong at Minerva by telling the story of how the Minerva experience stands apart from that of the traditional university through personal stories of challenge and growth.
Over the course of two years, I have directed the first four short films in the Global Immersion series. Each subsequent episode pushes deeper into stories of personal and professional development as they come into their own. Instead of replicating the same mold for each episode, the storyline instead evolves in parallel to student growth and an evolving world view. This distinct approach enabled us to build on existing story and expand on emotional impact.
In order to achieve the authentic, cinematic documentary style that defines the Minerva brand, we assembled a team of cinematographers with a strong background in visual journalism. Weeks of creative design and pre-production proved essential to manage the complex timing and logistics of multiple shooters and photographers, navigating large, foreign cities.
Each episode was published to coincide with major application and admissions milestones. As part of a broader marketing campaign a series of 60-second cuts were also produced for social media engagement.

text: Mission Accomplished on Mars Time is up, but Phoenix keeps digging By Michael Foreman, Newser User Posted Aug 29, 2008 5:32 PM CDT 0 comments This color image acquired by NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander on June 13, 2008 shows one trench scientists believe contains exposed bits of ice. (AP Photo) View 2 more images (Newser) – Time's almost up for NASA's Mars Phoenix Lander: With its 90-day mission complete, the $480 million project will continue testing soil samples until the punishing winter puts it out of commission. Wired recaps Phoenix triumphs with an interactive timeline, from its flawless landing at Mars' north pole to its groundbreaking analysis of Martian ice and water. "As we near what we originally expected to be the full length of the mission, we are all thrilled with how well the mission is going," said one NASA rep. Though offering few surprises—Mars is still cold and dry—Phoenix showed small missions can still deliver important data. NASA's next mission, the Mars Science Laboratory, will touch down next year.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, sometimes also known as Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, was created in the early 20th century. Mitsuyo Maeda, a recent immigrant to Brazil, befriended Gastão Gracie, a local businessman of some influence, and used his help to establish himself in Brazil. In return, Maeda taught Gracie's sons a martial art he referred to as "Jiu-Jitsu." Exactly what or how much he taught them is unclear. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu was introduced to mainstream American culture via Rorion Gracie who established the Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy in Torrance California. Ronion's younger brother, Royce Gracie, brought this art to widespread public attention when he used it to win the Ultimate Fighting Championship on three separate occasions: Once in 1993 and twice in 1994. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has been, and still is, a staple of martial art culture in South America for decades prior to its "formal introduction to the American public in 1993. Since 1993 Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu's popularity in the North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia has increased dramatically, and a relatively large tournament subculture has sprung into existence.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu's focus centers around two areas: Sport and Self Defense. There is some controversy about this topic. Regardless of use, the oft quoted mantra of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is "Position before Submission". Specifically, the unique unifying theme of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as a martial art has remained the same: Use leverage and momentum to gain an advantageous position over an opponent, and then finish the fight or match with a choke, joint lock, or other submission.
Striking: Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu does not place much emphasis on striking. Some schools place more emphasis on this aspect than others, and cross-training in complementary striking arts is almost universally encouraged.
Grappling: Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu focuses almost entirely upon this aspect. Different schools place varying emphasis on takedowns and clinchwork. Cross-training is encouraged in these areas. All Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu schools place extremely heavy emphasis upon groundwork.
Weapons: Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu does very little if any, weapons training.
Most Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu schools train regularly with a gi. Costs are varying, as gis range in price from $40-$200+. Suggested additional gear often includes: mouth guard, athletic cup, rashguard, and board shorts.
The Good
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is widely recognized as having the most developed groundwork in martial arts today. The basic groundwork is highly recommended for self defense. Cross-training in other martial arts is highly encouraged. Progression through the ranks is generally based upon ability to perform against live, resisting opponents. A Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is an almost universal indicator of expert proficiency in groundwork.
The Bad
There is no consistent syllabus for belt progression. Training costs can be high. Some schools place no emphasis upon takedowns and clinchwork. Qualified instructors are not available everywhere.
The Ugly
Ringworm. Impetigo. MRSA/Staph. NASCAR-like Gis. Bad mouthing of other BJJ Blackbelts by people both within and outside the extended Gracie family. Attempts by BJJ Blackbelts who should know better to create "bolt on" crappling programs for Krotty schools, thus encouraging Ronald McSensei to teach "crappling" (bad grappling) to his students when he doesn't even have legitimate blue belt level skills. See http://www.bullshido.net/forums/showthread.php?t=29071.
The Bottom Line
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu comes highly recommended for individuals looking for self-defense skills, a sport to play, or even physical fitness.

The Longest Season
One of Billy Connolly's 'weel-kent' comments is that Scotland has two seasons: June and winter.
My version is that, here in Lochranza at any rate, autumn, like winter, takes up more than its allotted portion of the year. It is also the loveliest of the seasons in my opinion. When our late spring arrives the speed of the greening up of the trees - alder, rowan, hawthorn, willow, hazel, birch and ash (always the last for its leaves to open)- is remarkable. Autumn, on the other hand, is like a slow sunset in which the glowing colours of the land gradually brighten and deepen. Whilst summery weather can be elusive and winter slow to leave, autumn is the grand finale of the year.
By the end of July, the bracken on the lower hillsides, which shoots up higher than our heads during June, begins to turn golden and chestnut at the edges. It slowly collapses, curls and crumples into itself, making walking off the path easier again. Shining scarlet clusters of berries dangle from the rowan trees after which Lochranza is named. As the sunset retreats southwards towards Catacol, dusk closes in surprisingly fast and the click and clash of antlers echoes round the glen. The necks of the red deer stags have thickened with bearing the weight of their coronets of deadly sharp points. They strut around regally, gathering admiring audiences. Meanwhile the golden eagles fly high, unobserved but no doubt observing everything.
In November, the sun leaves Lochranza until February, its low daily journey taking it behind Lochranza's high hills. Most people in the village know the exact dates when the sun will leave and return to their homes. Throughout the winter it can appear briefly in the bealachs (cols) between hills, and on bright days you can watch the shifting boundary of light and shade on the higher hillsides. It's essential to dress up warm if you're working outside in midwinter in the chilly damp and shade of the deep valley.
In March light evenings lengthen rapidly. Freak weather can take us by surprise: we have known blizzards, floods and heatwaves in early spring. By April delicate pale yellow primroses are scattered on the cliffs of the old raised beaches, turning their faces to the sky, but it is usually well into May before spring proper arrives accompanied by a symphony of birdsong. This year I tried to record the spring wildflowers that I noticed on my daily walk in Glen Chalmadale and was surprised how they changed week by week, with wood anemones and violets quickly superseded by bluebells and yellow flag iris, in turn bowing out to pinky-purple foxgloves, the exotic rhododendron ponticum and frothy creamy may blossom. It can seem that the change from winter to summer takes little more than a month.
In midsummer the sun in the late evening suffuses the head of the glen with rosy gold light and defines the cracks on the craggy face of Torr Nead an Eoin. Turn right round and you can watch the sun descend slowly and finally disappear behind the silhouette of the Kintyre hills. For weeks the nights never get darker than a soft grey twilight.
Now, in late September, the red squirrels are busy as bees darting between trees and rustling amongst leaves as they amass their winter hoards. Starry nights have returned and when it's a clear sky I make sure I go outside before bed to watch the slow silent circling of Cassiopiea, the Plough and the Northern Cross. One night white billowing clouds illuminated by a nearly full moon galloped across the sky on the back of a south-west wind. Yet it appeared that the stars were rushing like a twinkling river in the opposite direction and it was clouds that were stationary. On such nights, the mountains cradle the quiet of night like a church, the only sound the hushed music of water splashing its way to the sea.

In The Court of Appeals
Tom Smith, Claimant/Respondent,
NCCI, Inc. as Employer, and Liberty Insurance Corporation, as Carrier, Defendants/Appellants.
Appeal From
J. Mark Hayes, II, Circuit Court Judge
Opinion No. 4115
Heard May 8, 2006 – Filed May 22, 2006
Vernon F. Dunbar, of Greenville, for Appellants.
Preston F. McDaniel, of
Columbia, for Respondent.
ANDERSON, J.: NCCI appeals the trial court's order affirming the decision of the appellate panel of the workers' compensation commission (appellate panel). NCCI argues the trial court erred in finding (1) Tom Smith's mental injury was caused by unusual and extraordinary conditions of employment with NCCI; (2) Smith's physical injury to his back arose out of and in the course of employment with NCCI; (3) Smith's injuries were aggravated by his employment with NCCI; (4) Smith was entitled to disability benefits beginning March 19, 1999; (5) NCCI was not entitled to credit for short- and long-term disability benefits received by Smith; and (6) Smith's claim was not barred by the statute of limitations. We affirm.
In April 1991, Smith began working with NCCI as a supervisor for the Test Audit Department of NCCI's Atlantic Division. Before working with NCCI, Smith worked as auditor with two other companies for a total of thirteen years. Smith commuted from
As an auditor in
At some point, NCCI made various operational changes. First, NCCI changed its fee structure. NCCI changed from an assessment-based system, wherein NCCI would simply assess the insurance companies for all of the services the company requested and the various insurance commissions required, to a fee-for-services-based system, wherein NCCI charged an individual fee for the services performed. In addition, NCCI had a change in management. The new management heavily focused on production and meeting production goals. As part of the change in management, NCCI placed a new vice-president, Steve Axleray, in charge of its auditing divisions. In the summer of 1995, Axleray met with NCCI's auditors, chastised them for their lack of production, and informed them the new management expected increased production. Axleray informed the auditors that a voluntary severance package could be taken by anyone that did not wish to continue working with the newly-structured NCCI.
In June 1995, shortly after NCCI's operational changes went into effect, NCCI asked Smith to move to
When Smith arrived in
In October 1995 Smith took medical leave from work. Smith testified he took leave because the demands of the
In February 1999, NCCI changed Smith's company car from a full-size Ford Taurus to a smaller, subcompact Saturn. Smith began complaining of back pains immediately thereafter. Within a couple of months NCCI provided Smith with a raise to allow him to purchase a new, bigger car.
Smith visited Dr. Eleanay Ogburu-Ognonnaya for treatment of his back pain in March 1999. Ogburu-Ognonnaya's records from March 1999 indicate Smith specifically noted his new company car had no lumbar support, was very uncomfortable, and limited leg movement. Smith averred Ogburu-Ognonnaya advised him to reduce his driving and that the kind of driving required for Smith's work would make Smith's back worse.
In May 1999, Smith took leave from work and filed for short-term disability benefits. In his request for short-term disability, Smith stated his last day of work was May 26, 1999. Smith noted the symptoms that led him to cease working were (1) excessive stress and fatigue, which he listed as an illness, and (2) an injury to his lower back. Smith provided March 8, 1999 as the date of onset of the symptoms for excessive fatigue, and the week of February 15-19, 1999 as the first onset of symptoms for the back injury.
On June 1, 2000, Smith filed a workers' compensation claim alleging injuries to the "back, legs, psychological/whole person" culminating on May 27, 1999. Hearings were conducted in this matter on August 23, 2001; February 28, 2002; and March 11, 2002. NCCI alleges Smith withdrew his original claim after NCCI filed a Form 51 and filed another claim raising the same allegations on November 11, 2000, which was again withdrawn without prejudice by consent on March 13, 2001. NCCI asserts Smith refiled his claim on March 19, 2001, making identical assertions. The record evidences neither Smith's withdrawal of the original claim nor the filing of subsequent claims. Nevertheless, whether Smith filed in June 2000 or in March 2001 is irrelevant because the allegations and issues are the same.
The hearing commissioner found Smith suffered a compensable mental or psychological injury due to unusual and extraordinary conditions of his employment. The commissioner further found Smith sustained a compensable back injury as a result of his work activity requiring Smith to drive extremely long distances in a subcompact vehicle. The commissioner awarded Smith temporary total disability compensation benefits and medical benefits. The commissioner denied NCCI credit for short- and long-term disability benefits paid to Smith.
NCCI appealed the commissioner's decision to the appellate panel. The appellate panel determined that all of the commissioner's findings of fact and rulings of law were correct and adopted the commissioner's order in its entirety. NCCI appealed to the circuit court, and the circuit court affirmed the appellate panel.
"The South Carolina Administrative Procedures Act governs judicial review of a decision of an administrative agency." Clark v.
"On appeal, this court must affirm an award of the Workers Compensation Commission in which the circuit court concurred if substantial evidence supports its findings."
Peoples v. Henry Co., 364 S.C. 123, 127, 611 S.E.2d 527, 528-29 (Ct. App. 2005); see also
Frame v. Resort Servs. Inc., 357 S.C. 520, 528, 593 S.E.2d 491, 495 (Ct. App. 2004) ("It is not within our province to reverse
findings of the Commission which are supported by substantial evidence."). "Substantial evidence is evidence which, considering the record as a whole, would allow reasonable minds to reach the conclusion that the administrative agency reached to justify its action."
Baggott v. S. Music, Inc., 330 S.C. 1, 5, 496 S.E.2d 852, 854 (1998). "Quantitatively, substantial evidence is something less than the weight of the evidence."
Howell v. Pac.
I. Are NCCI's issues on appeal properly preserved for our review? II. Did Smith suffer a compensable mental injury caused by unusual and extraordinary conditions of employment with NCCI? III. Did Smith suffer a compensable physical injury to his back caused by conditions of employment with NCCI? IV. Did the appellate panel err in finding that Smith's injuries were aggravated by his employment conditions with NCCI? V. Did the appellate panel err by awarding temporary total disability benefits commencing on March 19, 1999? VI. Did the appellate panel erroneously deny NCCI credit for short- and long-term benefits received by Smith? VII. Did the appellate panel err in finding Smith's claim is not barred by the statute of limitations?
I. Preservation
Initially, Smith argues each of NCCI's issues are not preserved for review. When a trial court does not explicitly rule on an argument raised, and the appellant makes no Rule 59(e), SCRCP, motion to obtain a ruling, the appellate court may not address the issue. Noisette v. Ismail, 304 S.C. 56, 58, 403 S.E.2d 122, 124 (1991).
The circuit court considered all of the issues raised and affirmed the appellate panel's order. NCCI's Notice of Intent to Appeal to Circuit Court specifically raises each of the issues presented for appeal to this Court. Accordingly, we find each of the issues presented for appeal was properly preserved for our review.
II. Mental Injury
NCCI contends the appellate panel erred in finding Smith suffered a compensable mental injury under the Workers' Compensation Act because Smith's employment conditions were not extraordinary and unusual and did not cause Smith's mental injury. We disagree.
A compensable injury under the Workers' Compensation Act is defined by section 42-1-160, which states:
"Injury" and "personal injury" shall mean only injury by accident arising out of and in the course of the employment . . .
Stress arising out of and in the course of employment unaccompanied by physical injury and resulting in mental illness or injury is not a personal injury unless it is established that the stressful employment conditions causing the mental injury were extraordinary and unusual in comparison to the normal conditions of the employment.
Stress arising out of and in the course of employment unaccompanied by physical injury is not considered compensable if it results from any event or series of events which is incidental to normal employer/employee relations including, but not limited to, personnel actions by the employer such as disciplinary actions, work evaluations, transfers, promotions, demotions, salary reviews, or terminations, except when these actions are taken in an extraordinary and unusual manner.
S.C. Code Ann. § 42-1-160 (Supp. 2005).
In order to recover workers' compensation benefits for a mental injury, the claimant must prove both: (1) that he was exposed to unusual and extraordinary conditions in his employment; and (2) that these unusual and extraordinary conditions were the proximate cause of his mental breakdown.
Doe v. S.C. Dep't of Disabilities and Special Needs, 364 S.C. 411, 418, 613 S.E.2d 785, 789 (Ct. App. 2005). The requirement of "unusual or extraordinary conditions in employment" refers to conditions to the particular job in which the injury occurs, not to conditions of employment in general. Shealy v.
As the finder of fact, the appellate panel found the conditions of Smith's employment were extraordinary and unusual for a test auditor. The panel specifically found the unique requirements of conducting the
A. Extraordinary and Unusual Conditions
There is substantial evidence in the record to support the appellate panel's finding that Smith, as a test auditor in
First, experts in the auditing industry opined that Smith's employment conditions were extraordinary and unusual.
Second, Smith worked in the
Third, Smith was unlike other auditors with NCCI in that he mainly conducted test audits. NCCI guidelines allowed test auditors to conduct some variation of inspections to help satisfy the production requirement of nine test audits per week. Bowles, a test auditor with NCCI in
Fourth, Smith's employment conditions in
Finally, NCCI constantly and continuously harassed Smith about production. Smith testified he received a "steady flow" of memos, "at times every day," informing him NCCI needed more production. While the record indicates NCCI pressured all of its auditors, the pressure on Smith was exacerbated because the constant demands were being made despite Smith's unique situation. In addition, the testimony provides that other companies did not pressure auditors to the extent NCCI did. The pressure imposed on Smith was not "incidental to normal employer/employee relations" because of the constant and continuous nature of the demands and because of Smith's unique position. See S.C. Code Ann. § 42-1-160 (Supp. 2005).
Substantial evidence in the record supports a finding that Smith's employment conditions were extraordinary and unusual.
B. Cause of Mental Injury
There is substantial evidence in the record supporting the appellate panel's finding that the extraordinary and unusual conditions of Smith's employment caused his mental injury.
First, doctors' opinions and records indicate Smith's condition was linked to stress from his job. Dr. Franklin J. Klohn, Jr., in an answer to an interrogatory, opined that Smith's psychological condition was most probably caused by the stressors of his job. In late February 1999, Smith visited Dr. Rex Rawls and complained of "Chronic fatigue syndrome, worsening over the last eight years." Rawls provided Smith with a note stating that he may need a week off to try to recover from the excessive fatigue. Rawls' notes from a visit in May 1999 provide that Smith was requesting disability "so he won't have to continue with his high stress job."
Second, Smith's testimony and actions lend further support to the finding that Smith's employment conditions caused his mental injury. Smith testified that he took medical leave from work from October 1995 through March 1996 because the demands of the
Third, another auditor, Chris Bowles, testified he developed health problems as a result of the stresses accompanied by working with NCCI. Specifically, Bowles testified he was diagnosed with Barrett's esophagus (a pre-cancerous condition) and ulcers of the esophagus, which he attributed to the employment conditions with NCCI.
The record provides substantial evidence to support a finding that NCCI's employment conditions caused Smith's injury.
Admittedly, the record indicates Smith had numerous non-employment stressors that may have contributed to or caused his mental injury. The record provides that during the course of Smith's employment (1) he had trouble selling his home; (2) he was diagnosed with bi-polar disorder and depression prior to moving to South Carolina; (3) he was involved in a lawsuit regarding the construction of his South Carolina home; (4) he received a couple of speeding tickets; (5) his daughter had numerous medical problems; (6) he was involved in a lawsuit stemming from a 1995 motor vehicle accident; and (7) he had various medical problems including an esophagus problem and two angioplasty surgeries or treatments. However, "[t]he findings of the agency are presumed correct and will be set aside only if unsupported by substantial evidence." Kearse v. State Health & Human Servs. Fin. Comm'n, 318 S.C. 198, 200, 456 S.E.2d 892, 893 (1995). Moreover, the possibility of drawing two inconsistent conclusions from the evidence does not prevent an administrative agency's findings from being supported by substantial evidence. Tiller v. Nat'l Health Care Ctr. of Sumter, 334 S.C. 333, 338-39, 513 S.E.2d 843, 845 (1999). Thus, because there is substantial evidence in the record to support the finding of the appellate panel, the contrary evidence is inconsequential.
C. Proximate Cause
NCCI next asserts the appellate panel's order failed to address the issue of proximate cause of Smith's mental injury, and therefore, this Court should remand the case and allow the appellate panel the opportunity to make a finding of cause. We disagree.
South Carolina Code Annotated section 1-23-350 (2005) provides, in relevant part, that "[i]f . . . a party submitted proposed findings of fact, [an agency] decision shall include a ruling upon each proposed finding." The findings of fact made by the appellate panel must be sufficiently detailed to enable the reviewing court to determine whether the evidence supports the findings. Frame v. Resort Servs. Inc., 357 S.C. 520, 531, 593 S.E.2d 491, 497 (Ct. App. 2004). When an administrative agency acts without first making the proper factual findings required by law, the proper procedure is to remand the case and allow the agency the opportunity to make those findings. Fox v. Newberry County Mem'l Hosp., 319 S.C. 278, 282, 461 S.E.2d 392, 395 (1995).
The appellate panel made sufficient findings of fact regarding the proximate cause of Smith's mental injury. The appellate panel adopted the commissioner's order in its entirety. The commissioner's order specifically states:
[Smith's] psychological condition was as a result of unusual and/or extraordinary conditions in [Smith's] employment specifically unreasonable expectations and production goals from his employer, continual and unrelenting stress on [Smith] including criticism and pressure to meet those unattainable goals and extremely long hours in excess of 70 hours per week put in by [Smith] in an effort to try to reach those goals.
Therefore, the appellate panel's findings of fact are sufficiently detailed regarding the proximate cause of Smith's mental injury.
III. Physical Injury
NCCI alleges the appellate panel erred in finding Smith suffered a compensable injury to his back. Specifically, NCCI argues the appellate panel committed error in disregarding the report of ergonomist Elizabeth Neal Miall and in finding Smith's excessive driving led to his injury because he had been driving long distances for years. We disagree.
For an injury to be compensable, it must arise out of and in the course of employment. S.C. Code Ann. § 42-1-160 (Supp. 2005). "The phrase 'arising out of' refers to the origin of the cause of the accident." Clade v. Champion Labs., 330 S.C. 8, 10, 496 S.E.2d 856, 857 (1998). "'An injury arises out of employment when there is apparent to the rational mind, upon consideration of all the circumstances, a causal relationship between the conditions under which the work is to be performed and the resulting injury.'" Rodney v. Michelin Tire Corp., 320 S.C. 515, 518, 466 S.E.2d 357, 358 (1996) (quoting Owings v. Anderson County Sheriff's Dep't, 315 S.C. 297, 299, 433 S.E.2d 869, 871 (1993)).
"The claimant has the burden of proving facts that will bring the injury within the workers' compensation law, and such award must not be based on surmise, conjecture or speculation."
Clade, 330 S.C. at 11, 496 S.E.2d at 857. However, injured employees are not required to prove their injuries were caused by specific events in order to recover workers' compensation benefits.
The appellate panel found Smith's back injury arose out of and in the course of his employment with NCCI. There is substantial evidence in the record to support this finding. First, Smith complained of neck and lower back pain immediately after receiving the smaller company car. Smith testified that his back began hurting him the very first day he drove the subcompact Saturn. Smith further professed his doctor instructed him to take time off from work because the extensive driving required by Smith's job made his back injury worse. In addition, the record provides that in June 1999, Dr. Donald Johnson, with the Carolina Spine Institute, opined Smith "needs to be out of the work place" because driving exacerbates Smith's lower back pain. Further, Dr. Ogburu-Ognonnaya's records indicate that in March 1999, Smith specifically noted his new company car had no lumbar support, was very uncomfortable, and limited his leg movement. Finally, a memo from Bailey to NCCI indicates Bailey experienced similar discomforts with the smaller company car.
The record contains evidence suggesting Smith's back injury may not have been caused by his employment conditions. In 1995 Smith's back and neck were injured in a car accident, and, over the years, Smith sometimes informed various doctors of minor back pains and persistent headaches. NCCI presented an ergonomic analysis from Miall stating there were no appreciable differences between the ride, suspension, and measurements of the two cars, and "you could determine [Smith's] back pain was not caused by the use of the Saturn SL 2." However, when a conflict in the evidence exists, the findings of fact of the administrative agency are conclusive. Tiller v. Nat'l Health Care Ctr. of Sumter, 334 S.C. 333, 338-39, 513 S.E.2d 843, 845 (1999). The final determination of witness credibility and the weight to be accorded evidence is reserved to the appellate panel. Cf. Ross v. American Red Cross, 298 S.C. 490, 492, 381 S.E.2d 728, 730 (1989).
Because there is substantial evidence in the record to support the appellate panel's findings, we affirm the circuit court's decision.
IV. Aggravation of Injuries
NCCI next argues the appellate panel did not make sufficient findings of fact to support its ruling that Smith's employment conditions aggravated Smith's mental and physical injuries. We agree.
"The right of a claimant to compensation for aggravation of a pre-existing condition arises only where there is a dormant condition which has produced no disability but which becomes disabling by reason of the aggravating injury."
The appellate panel's ruling on this issue is insufficient. The findings of fact made by the appellate panel must be sufficiently detailed to enable the reviewing court to determine whether the evidence supports the findings. Cf. Frame v. Resort Servs. Inc., 357 S.C. 520, 531, 593 S.E.2d 491, 497 (Ct. App. 2004). When an administrative agency acts without first making the proper factual findings required by law, the proper procedure is to remand the case and allow the agency the opportunity to make those findings. Fox v.
V. Payment of Benefits
NCCI asserts the appellate panel erred in awarding disability benefits and medical treatment beginning on March 19, 1999, prior to the date of the alleged accident and disability. We disagree.
Sections 42-9-200 and -230 of the South Carolina Code Annotated (1985 and Supp. 2005) provide that compensation for disability shall be allowed from the date of disability. Section 42-15-60 states that medical benefits shall be provided "for a period not exceeding ten weeks from the date of injury . . . and for such additional time as in the judgment of the Commission will tend to lessen the period of disability[.]" Essentially, workers' compensation benefits accrue along a time continuum: temporary total disability benefits are available from the date of injury through the date of maximum medical improvement (MMI) and post-MMI benefits may be awarded either as a permanent total or partial disability, or as a percentage of impairment to a scheduled member. Hendricks v. Pickens County, 335 S.C. 405, 414 n.2, 517 S.E.2d 698, 703 n.2 (Ct. App. 1999).
The record indicates Smith's injury began prior to the date the commission awarded medical benefits. When Smith filed for short-term disability, he listed March 8, 1999 as the date of onset of the symptoms for excessive fatigue and the week of February 15-19, 1999 as the first onset of symptoms for the back injury. Thus, the circuit court did not err in affirming the award of medical benefits commencing March 19, 1999.
VI. Credit
NCCI next contends the appellate panel erred in finding NCCI is not entitled to a credit for payment of short- and long-term disability benefits received by Smith. Specifically, NCCI asserts it is entitled to a credit for benefits paid because Smith received short-term disability benefits from October 1995 through March 1996 and was awarded long-term disability benefits prior to May 27, 1999, the date Smith's injury admittedly culminated. We disagree.
Initially we note this issue may not be preserved for our review. Only issues raised and ruled upon by the commission are cognizable on appeal. See e.g., TNS Mills, Inc. v. S.C. Dep't of Rev., 331 S.C. 611, 503 S.E.2d 471 (1998). The appellate panel's order does not specifically address this issue.
Although we find preservation tenuous at best, we nevertheless proceed to the merits. Section 42-9-210 provides:
Any payments made by an employer to an injured employee during the period of his disability, or to his dependents, which by the terms of this Title were not due and payable when made may, subject to the approval of the Commission, be deducted from the amount to be paid as compensation; provided, that in the case of disability such deductions shall be made by shortening the period during which compensation must be paid and not by reducing the amount of the weekly payment.
S.C. Code Ann. § 42-9-210 (1985). "In order for payments to be deductible, they must have been made with reference to liability under the provisions of the Act and intended to be in lieu of compensation." Muir v. C.R. Bard, Inc., 336 S.C. 266, 298, 519 S.E.2d 583, 599 (Ct. App. 1999).
The record is devoid of evidence suggesting any short-term or long-term disability benefits received by Smith were made with reference to liability under the Act and in lieu of compensation. Accordingly, we find the appellate panel did not err in finding that NCCI is not entitled to a credit for any short-term or long-term benefits paid to Smith.
VII. Statute of Limitations
Finally, NCCI alleges Smith's claim is barred by the statute of limitations prescribed in section 42-15-40 of the South Carolina Code (Supp. 2005). We find this argument manifestly without merit.
Section 42-15-40 provides "[t]he right to compensation . . . is barred unless a claim is filed with the commission within two years after an accident[.]" Smith's mental and physical injury culminated in disability on May 27, 1999. Smith filed his original Form 50 to initiate this claim on June 1, 2000. Accordingly, we find Smith's claim is not barred by the statute of limitations. Even if Smith filed on March 19, 2001, as asserted by NCCI, his claim still falls inside the two-year statute of limitations.
We conclude substantial evidence in the record supports the appellate panel's finding that Smith suffered a mental injury caused by unusual and extraordinary employment conditions with NCCI, and that Smith suffered a physical injury to his back arising out of and in the course of his employment with NCCI. The appellate panel did not err in awarding benefits commencing March 19, 1999, and in denying NCCI a credit for benefits received by Smith. We hold Smith's claim is not barred by the statute of limitations. Accordingly, the decision of the circuit court is
HEARN, C. J., and GOOLSBY, J. concur.

See this cute little guy right here? His name is Tucker. He's the reason I didn't get my steps in this week. At least that's what I told myself when I first looked at my Fitbit report and realized I was way short of my goal for the week….
He had a little surgery and he had to be with either my husband or me all the time to keep him from licking at his surgery sites. This did curtail my activity a little, but if I really wanted to, I still could have gotten my movement in for the week. The bottom line is, I had an excuse not to move so I didn't.
I would venture to say that all of us have been told by our doctors that exercise is beneficial for fibromyalgia, and I know from experience that it's true. The problem is that we are almost always in pain and feeling fatigued. It's easy to make excuses not to exercise, and once we start down that slippery slope, it's hard to stop the slide. That's why I try, if at all possible, to meet my goal for my steps each week.
There's a difference in not wanting to exercise and needing to take time off from it though. There are definitely times we need to take recovery days. Each person is different, and each of us needs to listen to our bodies. Nobody knows us better than we know ourselves, and if we know we need to take a recovery day, we should allow ourselves to take it without feeling bad about it. My problem is that sometimes I just can't tell if I really shouldn't exercise or if I just don't want to.
So how do we figure out if we should exercise or not? Asking ourselves a few questions about our real motivations for not exercising might help. Here are some that have been helpful for me:
5 Questions To Ask Yourself When Considering Whether You Should Exercise
- Am I in too much pain to exercise?
- Am I my "normal" tired, or am I feeling that bone-crushing fatigue that accompanies a flare?
- Do I feel unable, or am I just unwilling to exercise?
- Am I running a fever?
- Am I dizzy?
Answering these questions honestly can usually help us determine whether or not we should exercise on that particular day. It can help us decide whether we should take a recovery day or if we're just making excuses not to exercise.
Is this ever a challenge for you? How do you determine whether you should go ahead and exercise or whether you should take a recovery day?

So here's what I used:
- Lynda.com (www.lynda.com) - a paid subscription based site that is essentially a library of videos for a large variety of subjects, not just programming. Depending on your subscription, you can access different resources such as source files to follow along with the videos.
- Code School (www.codeschool.com) - a freemium site that specializes in programming languages. A lot of their introductory courses are free, and they operate in a achievement/gaming model - you can earn badges for completing courses and get discounts on their intermediate courses if you complete courses.
- Codecademy (www.codecademy.com) - a currently free site that, like Code School, gives you badges as achievements for courses. They're currently building out their site.
- Coursera (www.coursera.com) - a free site that hosts classes from multiple universities online.
We'll start with Lynda, the first site that I used. Lynda reminded me a lot of some of my college lectures - some of the courses were a mix of Powerpoint presentation recordings and demos of the product/code in action. I found myself taking notes on the side and pausing the video at multiple points to digest what I had just learned. But I didn't quite connect with the material as well - rewinding and rewatching portions of the video turned out to be a much more common task than I expected (or perhaps I'm just not the brightest bulb in the box...). Getting around the site itself was pretty okay, but the big problem with Lynda for me was that I just wasn't engaged with the video.
Code School and Codecademy on the other hand were definitely more entertaining. Code School's Rails for Zombies is the course I started doing, and it was far more interesting than just watching videos. But I found that what really drew me to both these sites was the hands on interactive exercises. I found that I retained a lot more information and was able to connect it to what I already knew (granted, I was doing exercises in Javascript which I'd had some experience with, so I'll have to retest again with some of Codecademy's new exercises available for beta testers).
Finally, there's Coursera. Like Lynda, it relied heavily on videos, but I felt like I was actually back in school - the course I took was HCI from Stanford. It was a great refresher course, and I definitely learned a lot of new things. What was interesting was keeping up with the homework and quizzes, especially the peer grading. It forced the students to go through an exercise where they learned what a good and bad homework sample looked like so that when they went back to review their own assignment, they would be (in theory) honest about their self evaluations and fair in evaluating others.
Exploring these sites was a great exercise in user experience, but it also taught me about myself. My learning style was refined along the way, and I found that there were things that worked for me much more. There are many different interpretations of online education, but it's a field that's still evolving as technology keeps growing and more classes become less about the traditional desk and chairs and more about having a decent Internet connection. In the end, I think that the site that worked best for me was Codecademy - the interactive exercises are what did it for me along with the site's clean design and easy learning curve. I highly recommend all four sites though - what worked for me may not work for you though.
