I think this one is too pink
Thanks for photo.
I like her hair like that, though.
I thought her red form-fitting FF dress was perfect to show off her lines. I like the pale pink dress, but I'd like to see it be snugger and not loose like the FF one. They could go with an icy blue in dress and shirt for Sochi.

I know Glazunov's Seasons is Russian but maybe Tessa and Scott need to channel some of their Canadian-ness by studying James Kudelka's Four Seasons (made famous by the National Ballet of Canada) for costume ideas. For example, I think Tessa could rock this dress that Principal Greta Hodgkinson wore in 'Summer': http://national.ballet.ca/uploadedIm...s_metadata.jpg
tessa could be in deep dark blue for winter, scott in burgundy for autumn (kinda suggests their personalities too--tessa the cool one, scott the fiery one). if they like just one color, then i suggest deep dark blue.
Personally I would like to see Tessa in an Zuhair Murad or Elie Saab type of dress or perhaps Reem Acra.
I'd love some beautiful neutrals. I'd die to see Tessa in a beautiful soft pink/peach but on TV she could look nude...hmm. I detest the green dress we saw at TEB honestly, it just felt old and unexciting.
Beautiful! *-* http://25.media.tumblr.com/714b4e78d...ap4o1_1280.jpg
I don't know if this is a promo pic for their series or a new photoshoot; and I don't know why they use so much photoshop with Scott.. -.-

Food N' Me's new eBook tackles sugar consumption and spreads a sweet message.
Bellevue, Washington (PRWEB) July 10, 2014
The company that created the White House Award-winning Smash Your Food app today released the eBook Keb and Cala Explore Sugar, What Is It and Why Is It So Sweet?, based on their successful sugar lesson. Now available on the Apple Store; click here to see eBook or visit http://x.co/sugarbook.
The CDC reports that 40% of the added sugar children consume is from soda and sugary drinks. Calories from sugary drinks often go unnoticed, yet account for almost half of sugar consumption! Inspired by an interactive lesson from Food N Me, more than 70,000 elementary students and faculty in North Texas decided to meet that statistic head-on, and steered clear of 5,300 pounds of extra sugar in one week.
What is the difference between the sugar in a cookie and the sugar in an apple? Marta De Wulf, Nutritionist and co-founder of Food N Me, poses this question. Its confusing for kids because they are told not to eat too much sugar. But when they get cranky and hungry, theyre told that their blood sugar is low. De Wulf adds, After learning the difference between natural and refined sugars, both children and parents reported that it was easier to make healthier food choices.
Keb and Cala Explore Sugar, the first volume in a childrens educational eBooks series about nutrition, unravels the mystery of when sugar is good for your body, and when its not. This interactive eBook follows the adventures of two adorable characters, Keb and Cala, who lived in a primeval time before pizza delivery and cupcake shops. Colorful pages and animations hold childrens attention as they learn valuable nutrition lessons. We really see results when we empower kids with the facts they need to know, says De Wulf. When their kids are engaged, it is easier for the parents to offer healthier food choices and they tell us that they, too, really appreciate the tips and recipes.
From Quin Neal, Director of North Texas American Diabetes Association: With the prevalence of diabetes in children, Food N Mes sugar book, its lesson and its challenge is an innovative way to reinforce the ADAs movement to STOP DIABETES®.
The interactive Keb and Cala nutrition book series, created by nutritionists and dietitians, is part of the Food N Me family of learning disguised as fun, demystifying key nutrition concepts in order to educate children and their families about healthy eating, so together they can make better food choices.

Community, churches sing support for 9-year-old battling cancer
- Last Updated on 08:21 AM 02/04/13
- BY Danielle Vaughn
Members of the community and church families across the county came together Saturday afternoon at Good Shepherd Outreach Mission Church in Halifax to support Trevant Coleman, a precocious little fourth grader at South Boston Elementary School battling brain cancer.
The event was hosted by a local organization, the Ladies In Red, and sponsored by Good Shepherd Outreach Mission Church.
The program included performances by the Rock of Salvation Praise Dancers, Spanish Grove Baptist Church Choir and Abiding Branch Praise Dancers, Cord Cole, Nat Buster and others.
Making the event especially memorable was a presentation by Sheriff Fred Clark who made Coleman an honorary deputy of the Halifax County Sheriff's Office.
The 9-year-old also was made an honorary firefighter with the South Boston Fire Department.
"I just want to say thank you. The support has been overwhelming," said Adrean Coleman, Trevant's mother.
It was almost a year ago when she noticed her son beginning to have weakness on the left side of his body. Doctors later discovered the 9-year-old had a tumor on his brain stem.
On March 26, Trevant was diagnosed with brain cancer, and doctors told his mother the tumor was inoperable because of its location on the brain.
"It was real hurtful because I had dealt with cancer before with my grandma and saw what she went through, but to know a child was going through it. I didn't realize so many children had cancer until then," Coleman said of her feeling after receiving the news of her son's illness.
Trevant took the news of his illness very well, she said.
However, she added, she's not sure he understood the severity of it at first.
His faith in God gets him through, according to his mom.
Prayer is what his mom said is helping her deal with her son's illness.
"I try not to fall apart, because I have three other kids, and they're what's keeping me going," Coleman said. "I know he if stays here, he's going to be OK, and if he goes, he's going to be OK because I'm pretty sure Trevant is going to heaven if he goes," she said of her oldest child.
The mother of four said her other three children are coping with his illness very well.
Trevant has two sisters, 3-year-old Kendra and 4-year-old Kierra Hamlett and a 6-year-old brother, Darius Hamlett.
Their mother said Trevant's siblings have been very helpful and often sit by his bedside rubbing his hand.
Coleman said she has explained to them that Trevant may be going to see God.
Through it all, Coleman said the ordeal has really brought her family closer together, and they have given her much support during this trying time.
Coleman said it was her aunt and uncle, Robert and Latonda Yancey, who took care of Trevant during his stay at MCV so she would be able to work and care for her other children.
The two said he was an inspiration to the hospital staff and has made a big impact on their lives.
"He pulled everybody together everywhere he went. It was his power," Robert said.
He and his wife believe that Trevant's faith in God is very strong, and it strengthens their own faith.
"I told him that I would stand with him in his faith," she added.
"The hardest thing I had ever had to face was when the doctors said they couldn't do anything for him and to take him home," Robert said.
He understands they were giving him the facts, but he knows that God is still in control.
The doctors at MCV pulled all the cords from Trevant, including the cord for his fluids and were going to let him dehydrate, but God had other plans, the Yanceys agreed.
While her family has been a big help, Coleman said she also is very grateful for the support she has received from the community.
People have helped her with fundraisers and have given her moral and emotional support, she added. People also have brought her food and helped her with her kids.
Coleman said her church, the New St. Luke, has helped her tremendously throughout her son's illness.
On Thursday, employees of Mecklenburg Electric Cooperative visited Trevant in the hospital where they presented him with a certificate and a hard hat making him an honorary lineman.
The school system has been great also, his mother said, with students, teachers and administrators wearing supportive T-shirts and wrists bands.
Martha Brizendine, a teacher at South Boston Elementary, attended the service Saturday afternoon and had plenty of kind things to say about her personal experiences with Trevant.
"If you've met Trevant, you've met God, and you are better for knowing both of them," she said.
Tracey B. Williams, a former South Boston Elementary teacher and Trevant's homebound teacher, described working with the 9-year-old as "a joy."
"He enjoys learning, and there has never been a dull moment," she added.
She said Trevant enjoys motivating others and would stop by her classroom to give her students words of encouragement.
He currently is a patient in Halifax Regional Hospital where he is visited and comforted by many family and friends.
"Trevant is taking it day by day," his mom said.

ANDERSON, S.C. — Rick Santorum hasn't won any straw polls. When it comes to fundraising, he's the poor kid on the block. And unlike former pizza executive Herman Cain or New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, no one has ever described him as "the flavor of the month."
But here, in the conservative heart of a conservative state, some have embraced the former U.S. senator from Pennsylvania as the tortoise in a very long race for the Republican presidential nomination.

Classical pianist Jeremy Denk, a recipient of the prestigious MacArthur Fellowship, makes his Penn State recital debut at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday in Schwab Auditorium with a world-premiere performance of a work by jazz composer Brad Mehldau. Denk is also featured at a free and casual Classical Coffeehouse at 8 p.m. Tuesday in Hintz Family Alumni Center. Both events are on the Penn State University Park campus.
"Of all of America's up-and-coming classical instrumentalists, Jeremy Denk, the pianist-blogger who won a MacArthur Foundation 'genius' grant in September, might well be the most interesting," wrote a Wall Street Journal reporter.
Denk's Jan. 29 concert includes Fantasy, the Mehldau composition co-commissioned by the Center for the Performing Arts at Penn State. The program also includes works by Mozart, Schumann and others.
Tickets are still available for the Schwab concert.
Hear my interview with Denk. The webcast includes a sample of music from the pianist's new and critically acclaimed album featuring Bach's Goldberg Variations.
Read my feature article about the pianist.
Musical America named Denk its instrumentalist of the Year for 2014. And Out, a magazine covering gay and lesbian perspectives on culture, politics and more, featured Denk in its 19th-annual Out100 list of achievers.
At the Jan. 28 Classical Coffeehouse, Denk will perform selected music and have a conversation with the audience. Complimentary coffee and cookies will be served, and each attendee will receive a Classical Coffeehouse mug, while supply lasts.
Classical Coffeehouse is presented in partnership with the Blue & White Society and the Penn State Alumni Association. The Penn State Council of LionHearts also provides support.

Staff Writer
---- — Writing as an individual, the executive director of the Gloucester-based Northeast Seafood Coalition argued to a nation's capital gathering Wednesday that the next rewrite of the Magnuson-Stevens Act should abandon the 1996 mandate to put weakened stocks on 10-year building deadlines.
Presenting a paper at a workshop during the second of the three day "Managing our Nation's Fisheries" conference at a Washington, D.C. hotel, Jackie Odell said history has demonstrated that the science of the sea is inadequate to "project rebuilding targets and track progress during rebuilding timelines."
The 20-stock Northeast groundfishery has been whipsawed by irreconcilable stock assessments in recent years, with Gulf of Maine cod, the stock on which the fleet — especially the day boats concentrated in Gloucester — have come to depend, going from a spawning stock biomass of 33,877 metric tons in 2008 to barely 25 percent of that estimate three years later, without the boats ever exceeding their hard catch limits.
Odell said that, as NOAA re-calibrated the landing limits needed to meet the rebuilding timeline, the results were limits on Gulf of Maine cod and across the entire groundfish complex that are so low, very few fishing businesses will be allowed to survive.
As if to reiterate Odell's argument, in declaring that the groundfishery had devolved into a disaster, the acting Commerce Secretary last November wrote that the downward spiral had come about "despite fishermen's adherence to catch limits intended to rebuild the stocks."
In its third year, the conference at the Mayflower Washington Renaissance Hotel has brought together policy makers and administrators, congressional staffers and non-government organizations such as Odell's Northeast Seafood Coalition, representing the industry, and Pew Environment Group, which allies more closely with the interests of fish than the mainstream fishermen.
With grants, Pew has made long-term investment in the Cape Cod Commercial Hook Fishermen's Association — which has acted as its proxy where policy is concerned — and distributed more than $272 million nationally to influence fisheries policy.
Pew has taken a hard line against any weakening of the 10-year rebuilding timelines which its green allies helped influence into the 1996 rewrite of the Magnuson Act. Rebuilding plans for most groundfishery stocks were not in place until 2004.
Odell Wednesday offered an alternative to 10-year, or any rebuilding timelines.
They "should be replaced with fishing mortality rate-based strategies, which on average over the long term will rebuild a stock to biomass (that will produce) maximum sustainable yield. Such a strategy would achieve the core objective of fisheries management, to sustain commercial and recreational 'fisheries' while preventing overfishing.
"Such an approach would also bring greater stability to the groundfishery by focusing on current stock status and near-term projections rather than relying on long-term individual stock performance in a complex multi-species fishery during an arbitrary time frame," Odell wrote.
In the discussion of her paper, Odell concluded that "industry is committed to rebuilding groundfish stocks," but was frustrated by "apparently lack of common sense" in management.
She said there "needs to be a platform based on some level of certainty that the fishery can depend on," and a recognition that "rebuilding comes at a cost" to those who are in the fishery and depend on it.
The fight over whether the next re-authorization of Magnuson, now just beginning in the House Natural Resources Committee, will surely feature a fight on whether to modify or replace the 10 year rebuilding requirements, but there will be dozens of such skirmishes between industry groups like Odell's Northeast Seafood Coalition, which is based in Gloucester and represents more than 450 active groundfish vessels, Maine to New Jersey, and the force of the greens epitomized by the Pew Environment Group.
The Managing Our Nation's Fisheries Conference concludes with a plenary session this morning that is available by podcast from the event's Cvent website, or by visiting the website of the Pacific Fishery Management Council, the lead organizing agency of the conference.
Financial sponsors of the conference are NOAA, The Pew Charitable Trusts, the Walton Foundation and the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, as well as the American Sportfishing Association, the At-Sea Processors Association, Pacific Seafood, the Pacific Seafood Processors Association and the Groundfish Forum.
The investigative website of industry analyst Nils Stolpe reports that Pew, Walton and the Moore (Intel founders) foundations have distributed $466 million to influence fisheries policy since the last days of the Clinton administration, most of it spent during the Obama years.
Correspondent Tazwell Jones contributed reporting to this story from Washington, D.C.

Emery Lehman is the youngest member of the U.S. speed skating team. The 17-year-old Illinois native skated in his first World Cup at 16 and is still a high school student. In fact, he'll go back to school after the Olympics, and try out for the lacrosse team along with graduating from school. The long distance skater started getting serious about speed skating during his freshman year of high school and was inspired by other skaters from the Chicago area such as Shani Davis, Brian Hansen and Jonathan Kuck. He had a showdown with Kuck at Olympic Trials in the 10,000m, where the two were paired together. Despite Kuck building a large lead, Lehman came back to beat Kuck and win the 10,000m, securing the lone spot on the Olympic team in the distance. Lehman also qualified for the 5000m when he finished second behind Kuck. Three spots were available for qualification for the Olympics in the distance and Lehman earned the second of those positions.
Career highlights:
- 2013/14 Olympic Trials- finished first in the 10,000m and second in the 5000m
- 2013 World Cup- finished 31st in the overall standings for the 5000m/10,000m and 51st in the 1500m
- 2013 World Single Distances Championships- finished 20th in the 5000m
Things to know:
1. He says his teachers work with him to send him his assignments when he is on the road, but he had the unique responsibility of studying for finals in mid-December 2013, when most of his teammates were probably training for Olympic trials.
2. Says he does dry-land and short track training in Chicago, but goes to Milwaukee three to four times a week to do long track at the Pettit Ice Center.
3. Lehman says his situation also has its advantages and with so much on his plate, he rarely has time to overthink things, such as the pressure surrounding Olympic trials.

Ethical ramifications are potentially monstrous, but evolutionary controls may soon be in hand.
It's a dream for most of us--change who we are to conform to an ideal notion of who or what we should be. Well, it might be a real option one day soon. And the changes that may occur will make plastic surgery look like child's play.
The ability to engineer life (essentially rewriting the DNA code) is going to lead to a revolution that dwarfs both the industrial and digital ages--and may lead to an entirely new human species, says Juan Enriquez, managing director of Excel Venture Management.
[Read Scientists' Life's Work to Search for It Aboard Mars Rover.]
"The new human species is one that begins to engineer the evolution of viruses, plants, animals, and itself. As we do that, Darwin's rules get significantly bent, and sometimes even broken," Enriquez says. "Eventually, we get to the point where evolution is guided by what we're engineering. That's a big deal."
But he also believes that the knowledge unlocked by the sequencing of 10,000 human genomes will change everything. At its core, the central issue will be a deliberate effort to alter what we consider to be the human species.
Not that the path won't be rough. The idea of genetically altering man is fraught with ethical questions. For that reason, it has largely been avoided since the '30s and '40s, when the Nazis adopted the eugenics movement that came out of elite American universities.
The issue of genetic variation "was disastrously misapplied," Enriquez says. "But you do have to ask, if there are fundamental differences in species like dogs and horses and birds, is it true that there are no significant differences between humans? We are going to have an answer to that question very quickly. If we do, we need to think through an ethical, moral framework to think about questions that go way beyond science."
[Read Forget Conventional Wisdom: Israel Can Nix Iran's Nukes.]
In the mid-1920s, culture wars were dominated by the debate between creationism and evolutionary thinking. In 1925, John Scopes had been found guilty of teaching that mankind arose from something other than divine creation. But the United States was not the only country passionate about the issue.
The young Soviet Union, in its effort to stamp out organized religion, was determined to prove that men were descended from apes.
In 1926, a leading Soviet scientist, Ilya Ivanov, decided that the most compelling way to prove the Soviets correct would be to breed a humanzee: a human-chimpanzee hybrid. He received leader Joseph Stalin's blessing, and funding for the experiments was granted at the highest levels of the Russian science academies. He also received the blessing of the directors of the world-famous Pasteur Institute in Paris.
But Ivanov's efforts ultimately failed, he fell out of favor in one of Stalin's purges, and he was exiled to Kazakhstan in 1931. He died in March 1932. Today, Ivanov--whose quest likely spawned the King Kong/Planet of the Apes movie phenomenon--is long forgotten except to a few historians. But his idea lives.
[Read For DARPA, Defense Planning Proceeds at Mach 20.]
Given the ease of doing the experiment, it's likely that creating a chimp/human hybrid has been tried elsewhere unofficially. No humanzee report has ever been confirmed, though, which suggests that, despite the similarity of our DNA to chimps, it's just not compatible enough to naturally produce a hybrid.
As scientists better understand how DNA works, the reason for this seems to be emerging. There appear to be at least nine pericentric inversions in chimp chromosomes as compared to our own. An inversion is when a section of the chromosome gets reversed end to end. If the inversion doesn't involve the center of the chromosome where the arms are joined, it is called a paracentric inversion and seems to have little medical effect on the individual involved.
A pericentic inversion, however, does involve the section where the arms of the chromosome are joined and can cause medical problems. It also makes it less likely that the individual can produce a viable offspring when mated with one without the inversion. If the chromosome inversions in a chimpanzee ovum could be reversed to match those in a human, however, a viable fetus might be created.
There are also archaeological records implying that chimpanzees and human ancestors may have mated for more than a million years--explaining why we may never find the "missing link." According to one new theory, chimps and humans shared a common apelike ancestor much more recently than was thought. Thus, the thinking goes, modern people are descended from something akin to chimp-human hybrids. That is a new idea, and it challenges the prevailing view that hybrids tend to die out. It also strongly suggests that some of the oldest bones of "proto-humans" may have belonged to a line of non-hybrids that did die out, and were not human ancestors at all.
The idea that new species emerge in a slow and stuttering fashion was favored by Charles Darwin. But many biologists now favor the idea of clean breaks, with the "pure" lines of emerging species being stronger and fitter than hybrids and thus thriving while the hybrids perish. In fact, about 10 percent of animal species are capable of interbreeding with related species, even though the number that do so in any population is very small.
But just as science proves the impossible in nature, it also proves the possible in laboratory settings. If the human species emerged as a "humanzee" hybrid--and the science now shows us how to replicate that process in a laboratory--it begs the question: Will we do so again? Enriquez says yes.
As Charles Darwin spins is his grave.

Nokia Lumia 820/920 Wireless Charging Stand DT-910
- Price
- £69.00
- Low stock, selling fast
3 reviews
- Delivery
The DT-910 is a wireless charging stand for 'Qi' compatible smartphones that recharges batteries without the need to plug wires into the device itself as power is transferred from the back panel to the phone whenever it's standing in the cradle.
Since the phone is in an upright position facing the user, it can easily be used while charging takes place. One smart feature of DT-910 that makes using a phone even easier is the Near Field Communication (NFC) tag on its base, which makes instant connections between the stand and enabled phones, skipping the need to go through menus or set-up steps. One example of how the NFC feature in DT-910 improves the user experience in a unique way is brought to life when launching the Nokia Accessories App. This installed app can be set-up to automatically launch a chosen pre-installed application when the stand is in use. For example, users can select the clock, various social media feeds, weather info, Skype, their calendar, to synch photos with SkyDrive or any 3rd party application to start while the device is facing them and charging at the same time. The assigned app is tied to the individual DT-910, meaning that the charging stand at home may launch the clock while the DT-910 at the office launches the cloud-storage sync from the same smartphone. Nokia Accessories App supports the following products: Nokia Purity Pro Stereo Headset by Monster, JBL PowerUp Wireless Charging Speaker for Nokia, Nokia Wireless Charging Stand DT-910, Nokia Reaction Bluetooth Headset and JBL PlayUp Portable Wireless Speaker for Nokia. The app is preloaded in compatible devices with updates available from Marketplace.
This stylish camera grip case is designed to fit your Nokia Lumia 1020 phone and make it easier to get the shot you want, especially single-handed.
If you're worried about battery life, just turn on the built-in 1020mAh, rechargeable battery in the Nokia Camera Grip and get up to 55 minutes more shoot time.
The Nokia Camera Grip attaches to any standard camera tripod, making in easier to put yourself in the picture, or set up the perfect long-exposure shot.

3-Axis Accelerometer
Your Activity Monitor comes with the same type of accelerometer used in the Nintendo Wii controls. The accelerometer will sense vibration and shock, providing a more accurate reading.
Stores 7 Days of Activity
If you don't have time or access to your computer, your Activity Monitor will save your activity for the seven most recent days, making it easier for you upload on your schedule.
Flip USB
When it's time to load your activity into your LifeSpan Fitness Club account, simply open the flip USB, insert into your computer and sync with your account.
Small, Discreet and Convenient
MyStride fits in your pocket or clips on to your apparel. Keep it with you all day and use the results as motivation to increase your daily movement.
Upload with a USB Flash Drive
Your LifeSpan Fitness Club account includes a free software program that synchronizes your account with your equipment. The first time you use this program it loads your first name, age and weight from your account onto the USB drive. When you insert the USB drive into your treadmill or bike, the console reads this information so we can more accurately calculate calories burned. Then as you exercise, each 20 seconds we save your results onto the USB drive. You can then load the results into your account each day, once a week or whenever you choose using the same program.
Although it tracks well, the tracker is difficult to set up and cumbersome to use. The user guide definitely needs to be rewritten because it leaves out basic information, such as "how to reset at the start of a new day or activity".
I was very excited about buying this device to help me keep me on track to my weight loss but I'm having a little trouble understanding how to really upload the info on my device into my computer. I won't give up but I do hope this is not a loss of my money.
This is the best pedometer I have ever owned: I found it easy to set up and much more accurate than any I've owned before. the belt clip is much more secure the usual small clips found on other pedometers (all of which I've lost sooner or later when they fell off my belt), and the ability to just carry it in your pocket instead is also a great feature. It is very motivating to see how many (or few) steps you've walked, so helps me get in more exercise. I have not used the computer upload feature, as I refuse to spend the extra money for this - and will admit that is my only disappointment with the unit, as I did not expect to have to pay an extra fee to use this feature when I initially purchased the unit (took one point off the rating due to that). But I still think this is an excellent unit, and have purchased other units as gifts since getting my own: the people I've given them to like them just as much as I do, and I'm back to Amazon to buy yet another one for a gift. I strongly recommend this if you are looking for a pedometer: it is worth every penny of the purchase price!
I use it from morning till early afternoon usually, then take it off. There have been a few days that it has been working all day and the only problem I have had is that sometimes it does disconnect from my pocket. Also, if I wear a heavy jacket over it sometimes it doesn't register the steps.
I have only used freebee pedometers before and they didn't have many options. I really like this one
This is a simple device that does exactly what it says it will do. If you walk for exercise, you can monitor a number of things.
I appreciated the easy set up of this unit and also the usb port and heavy duty holder with a clip that doesn't easily pull off when I am hiking.
I ordered this product, based on reviews that it was a very accurate pedometer, which I think it is. The first activity monitor I used was the Weight Watchers Activelink Activity Monitor, since at the time I had an online Weight Watchers account. However, I decided to cancel my WW memebership, which meant I could no longer use my Activelink monitor. But I had gotten pretty used to being able to monitor my activity level on a daily basis, which had helped me control my weight, so I decided to order this. I did find it to be very accurate--it picked up on every step and seemed to be very consistent. The only negative thing I would have to say is that, as a girl who likes to wear dresses, it sometimes became difficult to find a discreet place to clip the monitor. And, eventually my clip broke, so it became even more of a challenge for me to find a place to put it. And yesterday, I wore it in the pool, thinking it was waterproof (so, FYI, apparently it's not), and now it doesn't work at all. So overall, I have been happy with the product, based on accuracy, but I have decided a wrist band would be more convenient, so I ordered the Jawbone Up. I think it just depends on preference and whatever is most convenient for each individual. And one more note: it is a pedometer, so it only tracks steps, not overall activity. So it is not going to pick up well on activities like doing dishes, laundry, cooking, etc. That is one thing I liked better about the WW monitor, and something I think I am going to like about the Up bracelet.
Good device and fairly simple to use.
It is a bit interesting to try and reset it for daily use.
After going through many pedometers this one has been by far the best and most accurate. Did not sign up for the computer monitoring which tracks your progress, just wanted a pedometer that kept me on track for my steps. This also tells you have far you have walked, calories burned and has a clock too. Easy to set up you cannot reset it by accident like some others. Just a brilliant pedometer and worth the money.
I'll be totally honest, I wanted a Fitbit, but didn't want to spend the money for one. I loved the idea of uploading my steps each day to see how close I had come to my goal. I have owned the LifeSpan MyStride Activity Tracker only for a few days.
Day one: The first day was to set it up. It is not as difficult as some reviewers are making it sound. Read the directions and you will be fine! I was ready to go within minutes. Be sure you measure your stride. I did it using the directions in the booklet.
Day two: The big test. I am a nurse and work 12 hour shifts. I was curious to see just how much walking I did during my day. I measured my steps throughout the day and was pleased to find that my new nifty gadget was accurate! I came home and uploaded the information!
Day three: Another 12 hour day at work! Here is the amazing part. At the end of my twelve hour day, I had come within 19 steps of the previous days results! How amazing and accurate is that? I uploaded my information and was pleased that I had walked over 4 miles on each of my two days at work.
For my purpose, this does the trick! I don't see the reason that I would need to spend more money just to motivate myself. I found it incredibly accurate, almost to a point where it was scary.
The only problem I had was that I almost forgot to take it out of my scrub pants pocket before they headed into the wash! If that is my biggest problem with the unit, then this certainly deserves a 5 star review!
It works perfect for me. I wanted to monitor and increase my daily activity. It is simple to use and fulfills my expectations. I don't use the USB part though so I cannot speak for that.
I loved this so much, I ordered one for my mom too. It is super easy to set up. It fits easily in your pocket or comes with a clip for your belt so there is no excuse not to carry it! It is accurate and the USB makes it very easy to track results. I would HIGHLY recommend this!
I have hit my goal every day. Love that it keeps me accountable. Great product. Very easy to use. Love that it is computer compatible
Better than any pedometer I have tried in the past. Secure. The others would fall off at some point in the day. A bit hard to program for the first set up but nothing that we couldn't deal with. Seems to be extraordinally acurate. I have clocked mileage with the car and it always comes out the same. The only down side is that when we bicycle or when I use the stationery bike it doesn't record any steps. All in all, I would purchase again as it has accomplished what I set out to do which is to increase my steps. When I started, I was logging between 600 & 900 (can you say couch potato?) steps a day. Although I am not up to 10,000 (my goal) I am routinely doing between 5,000 & 7,000 steps a day and that is in about 8 weeks.
Love the unit and it is very easy to set up. I use it all the time. One item I was disappointed with was the $49.00/year membership fee if I wanted to track my results via computer. I bought it based on the USB capability to see my progress, etc. I was not aware of the additional fee. Currently just use the unit and do not track results via USB.
Really like this for a couple of reasons:
#1 - The USB feature really makes it simple to upload my info
#2 - I can put it in my pocket instead of having to clip to belt or shoe
#3 - Very accurate
#4 - The online club is great for logging steps
Well worth the money.
I have found this product to really help me in getting my 10k steps per day in. It is motivating to watch the steps increase and the feeling at the end of the day when you succeeded in your goal. It was very easy to program and the owners manual was straight forward. I do use the USB everyday to upload my steps but it does have memory too to store days of walking. The little case/holder is nice as it is on a springed hinge so when you lift the pedometer up it is easy to read instead of having to take off your belt. Very accurate and love that you can also put it in a pocket and be just as accurate. Would strongly recommend if you are looking to track your steps or add more activity into your day.
I purchased my pedometer about 2 months ago and I never looked back. I had never worn a pedometer before but after reading all of the studies on inactivity I told myself that I needed to stay active during the day and what better way to track yourself. It's suggested to walk 10000 steps per day and with a sedentary lifestyle I found that I was only walking about 2000 steps daily! Now I always know where I am on my step count (whether I need to get moving or not!). Once I incorporated the treadmill desk into my workplace I easily hit 12000 steps daily and am usually ranked in the top 10 in daily steps (nationally) on the LifeSpan Fintess Club. This little device also tracks my daily Calorie count! I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to become a little more health conscious.
I am loving this little pedometer. I have been using it for about a week now and I am surprised at the accuracy, it even counted when I just hooked it to a lanyard and wore it around my neck, I paced off 300 steps to check and the numbers were within a few steps. I haven't used the USB to log the results yet, that's next, but so far so good..

Since May 1 – the dawn of the new commercial season — the dire catch limits clamped on Gulf of Maine cod and other species by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has turned the spotlight on the industry's increasingly urgent need.
That's some type of financial aid package addressing what had been recognized by the Department of Commerce as a legitimate "economic disaster," for which Congressman John Tierney and other federal lawmakers had sought to provide relief for months.
In recent weeks, some signs of that potential aid have surfaced.
First came a pool of up to $10 million in NOAA money through the Saltonstall-Kennedy Act. Yes, that's just a tenth of what the 1954 act meant to provide when it was designed to steer 30 percent of all imported seafood tariff money toward marketing the domestic fishing industry and funding improvements for it. But the $10 million has spurred a rash of applications, including a total of seven from Gloucester alone.
Then came a Small Business Administration low-interest loan program just approved last Friday for fishermen or waterfront businesses who could get up to $2 million each at a rate of 4 percent over up to 30 years – if they qualify for it, which most struggling fishermen cannot.
But on Monday, a hearing hosted by Sen. Elizabeth Warren and other lawmakers, including Tierney, reminded us all of the type of help that fishermen in Gloucester and elsewhere truly need — and it may not cost U.S. taxpayers a dime.
Monday's Boston hearing did not focus on how to throw money at the fishing crisis, but on carrying our reforms to the Magnuson-Stevens Act, which is up for reauthorization and sits at the core of the fishing crisis.
For too many years, NOAA officials have been allowed to ignore one important act "standard" that requires the feds to take into account the economic impact of any new regulations and policies on fishing communities such as Gloucester. And the act continues to require the rebuilding of all fish stocks under a tight timeline that fishermen and even many scientists agree is not unrealistic — and current science can't effectively measure in the first place.
From the start, fishermen have not had their hands out for money. Any long-term solution to the crisis in the fisheries can only come through significant reforms to the Magnuson-Stevens Act, and it was good to see those issues returned to center stage yesterday.
Now it's up to Sen. Warren, Congressman Tierney and all who truly care about America's fisheries to keep it there — until these reforms become reality.

For Sanford's Historic Black Community, Zimmerman Trial is Latest in Civil Rights Struggle
June 3, 2013 | WMFE - Jury selection starts June 10 in the second-degree murder trial of George Zimmerman. The former Neighborhood Watch volunteer faces trial in Sanford, the same Central Florida community where he shot and killed the unarmed, 17-year-old Travyon Martin last year. Zimmerman says he did it in self-defense. Sanford's also home to Goldsboro, the state's second-oldest black community. For Goldsboro residents the trial represents the latest in a long civil rights struggle.
[Photo: Trayvon Martin memorial in Goldsboro]
For Francis Oliver, Goldsboro's history is a passion. She's founder and curator of a museum in Goldsboro where she's collected relics from last year's marches calling for George Zimmerman's arrest and from memorials for Trayvon Martin.
Martin wasn't from Goldsboro, and he wasn't in Goldsboro the night of his death. He was from Miami Gardens, in Sanford with his father visiting his father's fiancée.
But now Martin forever is part of Goldsboro's history. The trial that will determine Zimmerman's fate also will define Martin's place in the community's history.
Oliver opened the museum not long before Martin's death to celebrate, as she puts it, the demise of Goldsboro a century ago, when Sanford leaders dissolved the community's charter so Sanford could expand in its place.
"We feel like that's where the friction started between Sanford and the black community because Goldsboro was an all-black city. And its never, it's always been there since 1911."
Last year's marches drew thousands and sparked protests worldwide. Sanford police delayed arresting Zimmerman for more than a month after Martin's shooting in February 2012 under the so-called "stand your ground" law. Martin was black. Zimmerman is Hispanic and white.
The marches began with black community leaders here in Goldsboro, who say they don't expect the same for Zimmerman's trial because already they have achieved what they wanted. Valerie Houston is pastor of Allen Chapel AME Church in Goldsboro.
"The purpose of the demonstrations and the crowd visuals and the rallies was to get Zimmerman arrested so the family would have some peace of mind about what actually happened."
At those marches Martin transformed from a 17-year-old boy to a symbol, with images of his face appearing on T-shirts and posters. To Houston Martin is a …
"pioneer, as all persons who died unjustly. He's right up there with Dr. Martin Luther King and Medgar Evers and all of those civil rights leaders who fought for a cause."
The marches represented a bubbling-over of long-simmering tensions between Sanford and Goldsboro. Since then Sanford leaders have worked to strengthen relations.
They hired a new police chief in April. Cecil Smith, who is black, has been going door-to-door in Goldsboro meeting with residents. He says building trust also includes …
"Being at the community meetings. Showing up at Neighborhood Watch meetings. Showing up at kickball programs that are offered in the community. Working with kids at the Westside Community Center, which is right in the heart of Goldsboro."
Turner Clayton Junior is the local president of the NAACP. He says tensions have simmered for so many years, and mending relations will take many more.
"There have been so many different cases where law enforcement has actually disappointed the community, in a lot of cases. And so he has his work cut out for him, and so of course going around knocking on doors is a start, but its going to take more than that."
Sanford police have been working with Goldsboro leaders to bolster security for the trial. Smith won't discuss details but urges against civil disorder.
"All of the national media, all of the glow, all of the things that are happening outside of this community, if it has an influence on this community once it's all done we are the ones who will have to be here to resolve whatever those issues are and live with whatever comes of it."
Across the street from the Goldsboro museum is a new permanent memorial for Martin. Francis Oliver says Goldsboro wants justice, and if Zimmerman is acquitted the community will feel as though …
"Justice did not prevail. And if you still can kill a black boy who all he got is Skittles and iced tea in his hand then we're not safe on the streets."
Goldsboro is a half-dozen miles from the courthouse where Zimmerman will face trial.

Sailors and their relatives have sued a Japanese-owned utility, accusing the company of failing to tell the truth about the dangers following the 2011 failure of the Fukushima nuclear plant, according to reports.
Stars and Stripes is reporting that a group of sailors from the Coronado-based USS Ronald Reagan have filed suit in San Diego's U.S. District Court alleging that because of misleading information released by the Tokyo Electric Power Company, their lives could be cut short because they were exposed to harmful levels of radiation.
The aircraft carrier was dispatched to Japan to offer humanitarian aid in the wake of the March 2011 disaster, which was prompted by an earthquake and the resulting tsunami.
Stars and Stripes named the plaintiffs – Lindsay Cooper, James Sutton, Kim Gieseking, Charles Yarris, Robert Miller, Christopher Bittner, Erik Membrila and Judy Goodwin. They range in age from 23 to 38.
They are seeking $40 million each in damages in the suit.
The Associated Press reports that one of the individuals named in the suit, filed Dec. 21, is a Reagan crew member's infant child, who was born after the disaster.
Stars and Stripes said the sailors complained of a number of ailments they have suffered after serving in Japan, including headaches, problems with concentration, rectal bleeding and thyroid issues.
The group also is urging the utility to set aside $100 million for a fund to reimburse them for medical expenses over their lifetimes.
Paul Garner, the sailors' Encinitas-based attorney, told Stars and Stripes the San Diego suit seems to be the first filed on behalf of U.S. military members who were involved in the humanitarian mission. TEPCO has entered agreements with Japanese victims of the disaster, promising them monetary aid for their suffering.

This story has been amended to reflect the correct name of one of the plaintiffs, Erik Membrila, which was misspelled in court documents.

We cover the intersection of money and politics.
Forget all this talk about giant "spending cuts" of $6.2 trillion in Congressman Ryan's budget plan. That's music to my ears, but it's also based on Washington's bizarre budget math – i.e., the screwy system where politicians can increase spending but say they're cutting spending because the budget could have grown even faster.
What really matters is how much money government is spending this year compared to how much money will be spent in subsequent years. Using this common-sense benchmark, let's look at two competing proposals.
According to the new numbers released today, Congressman Ryan's budget plan will result in government growing, on average, by almost 2.8 percent annually over the next 10 years.
President Obama's budget plan, by contrast, would increase the burden of government spending by an average of nearly 4.7 percent each year.
This chart compares the two budget plans. Because Chairman Ryan does not let spending grow as rapidly, cumulative spending over that period will be $6.2 billion less than it would be based on the President's plan. That's an impressive amount of money that taxpayers will save if Ryan is successful, but it's not a spending cut.
Not surprisingly, the big spenders in Washington are claiming that the "spending cuts" in Representative Ryan's budget are "harsh" and "extreme." But Ryan's proposal would allow the budget to grow faster than inflation, which is projected to average less than 2.1 percent annually over the 10-year period.
Good fiscal policy is very simple. Restrain the size and scope of government so that outlays grow slower than the private sector. If that happens, the burden of federal spending will shrink as a share of economic output
That's exactly what happens with Ryan's plan. By 2018, the federal budget will drop to less than 20 percent of GDP. That still doesn't bring us back to where we were at the end of the fiscally responsible Clinton years, when federal spending consumed only 18.2 percent of GDP. But after a 10-year spending binge under Bush and Obama, Congressman Ryan's plan would move America back toward fiscal responsibility.
Nice chart.
To be fair though, Obama is paying for the incompetence of the Republican Party under GW Bush. Take away the Republicans failure to manage our economy after Clinton, and Obama wouldn't have needed to "stimulate" the economy.
Keep in mind that the only reasons that Clinton looked to be "fiscally responsible" were the greatest economic boom in the 20th Century (the Internet bubble) and a Republican Congress!
To be fair, the Democrats controlled Congress when the "The High Performance Computing and Communication Act of 1991″ was passed. It was a bill that was also called the "Gore" bill. It was the 102nd Congress.
If the internet was the fiscally responsible item that brought an economic boom, than it is Democrats who deserve the credit.

I have fond memories of my childhood… the toys, the games, playing outside until it was too dark to see. I was born and raised in the UK and although we loved playing outside it wasn't always possible with the wet and windy weather England is world renowned for. We were however, lucky to have, at our disposal, a vast amount of toys, games and gadgets to entertain ourselves with indoors.
Even though we had enough toys and games to fill a small country… we always wanted more. My dad would say, "We didn't have that when I was young… you should count yourselves lucky".
We took everything for granted! We really did believe that a man with a white beard and a red suit came down the chimney once a year to deliver us gifts (even though we didn't actually have a chimney…). I now realize just how lucky we were, and just how hard my parents had to work to buy us things to keep us happy (and quiet).
I've always been intrigued by history, and remembering my dad's words all those years ago prompted not only a trip down memory lane, but a desire to research toys of the past.
Did ancient civilizations have toys? What was the first toy? Where does the term toy even come from?
More to come…

Texas Matters: A court has ruled that privately-run jails are, in effect, governmental bodies when it comes to Texas open records law, so what will be uncovered from the new level of transparency that these institutions must follow? Will the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association be ready to pay out in the event of a destructive hurricane?

The Briscoe Western Art Museum just added another gallery and this one is outdoors. The grand opening of the one-third acre McNutt Courtyard on the east end of the Briscoe's Market Street museum on Thursday morning unveiled eight western sculptures.
I spoke to the museum's Executive Director Steven Karr about the process for finding the sculptures.
"It was really trying to find pieces that were emblematic of the American West," Karr said.
Emblematic, but, Karr hopes, not necessarily what you'd expect.
Once a military training ground, the Plaza de Armas building near City Hall is entering a new phase of its historic life.
On Thursday, city council members approved an amendment to the design-and-build contract, increasing the project's cost by $1.4 million for a total of $11 million. The council also voted in favor of Executive Chef Chuck Hernandez's restaurant, O'liva, being located within the complex of Plaza de Armas.
The Board of Directors for the Lower Colorado River Authority has approved the next phase of a downstream reservoir that will capture some of the water heading to Matagorda Bay.
This week, the LCRA board approved spending $17 million that will go toward finalizing the design of the reservoir in Wharton County.
The LCRA's Clara Tuma said the reservoir in the lower basin will provide fresh water to the Gulf Coast bays, as well as Texas rice farmers on the coastal plains.
Officials with the Texas Education Agency say 8th graders this year will be allowed to use calculator apps on a tablet during the math portion of their State of Texas Assessment of Academic Readiness end-of-course exam.
While to some it may not seem like a big deal, Debbie Ratcliffe with the TEA says it is, especially considering that no other standardized tests allow the use of apps during testing.
Atash is a multi-cultural band based in Austin, so for them, lodging wasn't an issue at the jam-packed South By Southwest festival.

When House Bill 5 passed last year it signaled yet another change in course for public education in Texas. Texas House and Senate members will take another look next Wednesday at the standards they passed last year and how the State Board of Education has implemented them.
Democratic women's groups are weighing in on a new report showing women working in Attorney General Greg Abbott's office are paid less than their male counterparts. The numbers come on the heals of a major battle between Abbott and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis over equal pay laws.
The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals heard oral arguments this week in a case of a man convicted of murdering a toddler. The attorneys for Neal Robbins used a new law that allows for a new trial if the forensic science used to convict them is discredited and out-of-date.
Robbins was convicted of killing a 17 month old in Houston in 1999 and in 2007 the medical examiner changed her opinion. Since then the Texas Legislature passed a new law that allows someone convicted to petition for a new trial if the forensic science methods used to in their case is suddenly discredited.
It's the event that closes down streets and invites San Antonians to come out and play, but there's change in the air. Previous Síclovía events have been held on Broadway, but this year they are moving to the Southside.
"The new route will be starting along St. Mary's near Cesar Chavez, and then stretching down to Mission Concepción," said YMCA's Director of Marketing Laura Waldrum. "The event is going to take place on Sunday, March 30."
If you're new to San Antonio, Waldrum described Síclovía this way:
