While I applaud the efforts of Rep Rohrer and others to elicit support for implementation of the 10th Amendment, I am amazed at the lack of foresight and planning that surrounds this Rally Event.
Rep Rohrer, by his own admission, points to the overwhelming interest in this venture expressed by people throughout the State. Yet, the following ensues;
* Virtually little or no media coverage precedes this rally.
* Sen Folmer, a co-sponsor, fails to even list the event on his web-site.
* Rep Swanger's staff didn't even know of the event.
* Instead of planning a rally in the evening, or on a weekend, (when considerably more working people would attend), it's scheduled at lunchtime, at the State Capitol, with no advertised arrangements for parking or transportation.
Sadly, the end result of such poor planning will result in severely diminished participation, no doubt interpreted by our detractors as a decided lack of interest in this pursuit to recognize, understand, and most importantly, enforce the Constitution of the United States.
Let's begin planning events that are more, "user friendly", and while you're at it, give some consideration to making these events easily accessible by seniors and the disabled, who, by the way, have considerable clout at the polls.
Thank you.
I think Mr Rohrer has done a great job on this, and actually consider his method to be quite successful. There have been a few 10th Amendment meetings and town halls around the country, and few if any, have received news coverage at all – or much attendance either. Sam Rohrer realized that it's necessary to get some attention, like you've mentioned, before doing something of this nature. With that in mind, he publicized his proposed legislation well before introduction, wrote articles, gave interviews, and the like. This is given people time to talk about it, learn about it, write to papers, call radio stations, and the like.
While there wasn't a lot of big coverage, a number of local papers picked up on the story, some larger web-sites have run his article, and he appeared on syndicated radio as well.
Reports are coming back that there were a "few hundred" at the rally – on a Monday afternoon….if people keep pushing around the country, these rallies, and the support for the 10th, are going to get bigger.
Great first step here!
I just listened to Rep. Joe Sestak on the The Young Turks show and I have to tell you what I heard did not give me confidence that he is in actuality a supporter of the Tenth Amendment Movement. I am speaking in the blind here becaue I do not know where he stands on State Sovenienty. But listening to him speak about the possiblity of running against Specter in the coming Senate Race, he consistantly sent the signal that while the people of PA. and their desires are his main priority, he supports every action that the current adminstration have in mind for health care, education etc. Since the people of Pa. have spoken in favor of the Tenth Amendment, I cannot see how these two trains of thought can mesh. Just my opinion. I have no doubt that there are "sleepers" in both parties, lets hold any person in political power who joins this movement feet to the fire to make sure they are truly a supporter and not here just to unsurp our efforts. I feel like I'm in an old Cary Grant movie here.
The Constitution. Every issue, every time. No exceptions, no excuses.

The Muse, Contributor
We offer smart, inspiring job advice for every stage of your career.
If you've applied for a job recently, you've probably looked over that 8½ x 11" summary of your career more times than you can count—and tweaked it just as often—in pursuit of the perfect resume.
But before you add another bullet point, consider this: It's not always about what you add in—the best changes you can make may lie in what you take out.
The average resume is chock-full of sorely outdated, essentially meaningless phrases that take up valuable space on the page. Eliminate them, and you'll come off as a better, more substantial candidate—and your resume won't smack of that same generic, mind-numbing quality found on everyone else's.
Every word—yes, every word—on that page should be working hard to highlight your talents and skills. If it's not, it shouldn't be on there. So grab a red pen, and banish these words from your resume for good.
My first few resumes had a statement like this emblazoned top and center: "Career objective: To obtain a position as a [insert job title here] that leverages my skills and experience as well as provides a challenging environment that promotes growth."
Yawn. This is not only boring, it's ineffective (and sounds a little juvenile, to boot). The top of your resume is prime real estate, and it needs to grab a hiring manager's attention with a list of your top accomplishments, not a summary of what you hope to get out of your next position.
You can be "experienced" in something after you've done it once—or every day for the past 10 years. So drop this nebulous term and be specific. If, for example, you're a Client Report Specialist, using a phrase such as "Experienced in developing client reports" is both vague and redundant. But sharing that you "Created five customized weekly reports to analyze repeat client sales activity"—now that gives the reader a better idea of where exactly this so-called experience lies, with some actual results attached.
Also eliminate: seasoned, well-versed
Team Player
If you've ever created an online dating profile, you know that you don't just say that you're nice and funny—you craft a fun, witty profile that shows it. Same goes for your resume: It's much more effective to list activities or accomplishments that portray your good qualities in action than to simply claim to have them.
Instead of "team player," say "Led project team of 10 to develop a new system for distributing reports that reduced the time for managers to receive reports by 25%." Using a specific example, you show what you can actually accomplish. But simply labeling yourself with a quality? Not so much.
Also eliminate: people person, customer-focused
While resumes are meant to highlight your best attributes, some personality traits are better left to the hiring manager to decide upon for herself. There is a difference between appropriately and accurately describing your work skills and just tooting your own horn. Plus, even the most introverted wallflower will claim to be "dynamic" on a piece of paper because, well, why not? When it comes to resumes, keep the content quantifiable, show tangible results and successes, and wait until the interview to show off your "dynamism," "enthusiasm," or "energy."
Also eliminate: energetic, enthusiastic
References Available Upon Request
All this phrase really does is take up valuable space. If a company wants to hire you, they will ask you for references—and they will assume that you have them. There's no need to address the obvious (and doing so might even make you look a little presumptuous!). Use the space to give more details about your talents and accomplishments instead.
In a crummy job market with a record number of people applying for the same positions, it takes more than a list of desirable-sounding qualities to warrant an interview. Specific examples pack a punch, whereas anything too dependent on a list of buzzwords will sound just like everyone else's cookie-cutter resume. So, give your resume a good once-over, and make sure every word on that page is working hard for you.
This article originally appeared on The Daily Muse. For more advice on nailing the job search, check out:

Shame on us all for blindly using these buzzwords in the hope of being called for interviews:-)
So job requirements says, they need experienced in xxxx language who is team player & dynamic personality. And of course not-so-technical recruiter looks for those keywords along with xyz. I am confused, is this article is yet-another-resume-suggestion?
I worked for att, northern. Ericsson and stromberg and a recruiter told me they were looking for someone with more telephone experience. My papers never said telephone?
Oh, gee, thanks a lot. Now any idiot can send me a resume that can't be eliminated by scanning for these dumb words. Is the world a better place when the lack of a real education becomes easier to hide?
I really like what you have to say here. Though it may not do so directly, much of it seems to naturally flow from "The Elements of Style" by William Strunk, Jr. and E.B. White.
To what you've said, I'd like to add a quote by Professor Strunk from that very book that I believe precisely overarches what you have said: "Vigorous writing is concise. A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts. This requires not that the writer make all his sentences short, or that he avoid all detail and treat his subjects only in outline, but that every word tell." His coauthor, E.B. White, said of this, "There you have a short, valuable essay on the nature and beauty of brevity–sixty-three words that could change the world."
I don't agree with the level of detail you're promoting – although I'm wholeheartedly on your side getting rid of boring resumes.
As a headhunter, I want a CV to give me the broad picture – just enough to give me an inkling that this person might be worth speaking with. If I get too many specifics (which I'll have to check anyway at interview and with references) then I may get somebody who'll bore me to death (which is usually the case in my experience). I'm usually looking for leaders, not actuaries.
The resume/CV is a sales document to get somebody an interview. You can read my own advice on CV's at http://fastheadhunter.wordpress.com/2010/07/21/your-cv-tips-to-get-noticed/
Thanks for a thought provoking piece….

I think it is an excellent article, however the writer forgot to mention who should use this advise.
There are two main types jobs and job applicants:
1. Entry level jobs or junior supervisory positions where the applicant is requested to apply online. In this case a computer programs is scanning the resume for key words, that most probably were part of the job description and qualifications required. If the program does not find a certain percentage of those key words, a human will never read that resume. It will be deleted.
In this scenarion it is important to use the same key words and language that the employer is using in the job ad, i.e. team player, excellent communication skills etc… Try to use it in the cover letter and highlights of skills and qualifications. In the actual past job descriptions, rather that using tasks and general words, show accomplishments.
2. Middle to senior management positions, or other professionals with special skills.
This is the category of applicants, that are usually asked to e-mail a resume to a recruiter or hiring manager, as an HR person could not easily tick off the boxes for required skills.
The article applies to this category of applicants and is an absolutely excellent resource.
I totally disagree with most of what's been blogged about here, with respect. Objective is something that is simply more white noise. When I'm scanning resumes, or rewriting them, it's all about Where you are and What you're doing, and How you represent your role (and to an extent, what you're called). www.MyExecutiveResume.com

An allegation that a Bedford County judge became emotional and wiped away tears during testimony in a child rape trial was one of many reasons argued Friday in a traveling preacher's request for a new trial.
Pittsburgh attorney Thomas Crawford alleged that emotion shown by Judge Thomas Ling was prejudicial toward the Rev. Walter Bradshaw and played a role in his conviction.
That brought an angry response from the bench.
"I can't recall ever crying over a case," Ling said. "Maybe I am callous and maybe I lack the milk of human kindness, but I have yet to cry in a domestic case or a criminal case."
Ling, who has been on the bench for more than 15 years, said his eyes "tend to accumulate film," so he wipes them. The judge said he is willing to take an oath that he did not cry during testimony in the case.
Bradshaw, 63, of Lexington, N.C., was convicted in September of 22 counts of rape and related charges for the 2008 assault on the girl, who was then 11.
According to trial testimony, the molestation took place at the Janey Lynn Motel in Bedford Township as Bradshaw was preparing to take the girl to the Erie area for revival meetings.
Earlier in 2012, the girl's mother, Gazella Oldham, had pleaded guilty to charges of taking her daughter to the motel and allowing her to spend the night.
Bradshaw was sentenced in December to 66 to 150 years in prison.
He is well-known in the Cambria-Somerset region for holding summer revival services.
A post-sentencing appeal filed by Crawford listed a number of reasons why the carpenter-minister should be given a new trial. Among them is an allegation that District Attorney William Higgins giggled in front of the jury during part of the trial.
The defense also maintains that Ling threatened in front of the jury to hold Crawford in contempt of court. Ling said the incident occurred after the panel had left the courtroom.
Crawford said there were improper instructions to the jury when Ling refused to give jurors written instructions on the elements of the charges, something they later said they did not need.
Objections also were raised because Ling accepted the opinion of a state-appointed evaluator that Bradshaw is a pedophile and a sexually violent predator.
Crawford said Bradshaw's behavior toward the girl was not violent, a statement that prompted Higgins to say: "When a person who is an adult has sex with a child, that is a violent act."
Ling said he would decide on the request for a new trial by the end of April.

Many Heartland residents are seeing higher than average water bills this time of year, but one man allegedly tampered with the monitoring device at his home to avoid paying for water usage.
Fifty-two-year-old Lorene Garrett is charged with theft by avoiding water measurements, which is a misdemeanor.
According to investigators, the Ashland Police Department got a tip that Garrett may have tampered with his water meter. Officers went to his home on June 14. They determined that the electronic measuring device had been changed so it would not record water usage.
Garrett is expected to appear in court on July 24. If convicted, he faces a maximum sentence of three months in prison.

Scratch Test for Allergies
What is the test?
This test checks for a skin reaction to common allergy-provoking substances, such as foods, molds, dust, plants, or animal proteins. If your skin reacts to a substance, chances are that you are allergic to it.
Most people with allergy symptoms don't need testing because they can identify their triggers and control their symptoms with medicine. Your doctor might recommend scratch testing when you have severe allergy symptoms but are not sure what is causing them. Knowing what you are allergic to can help you avoid the substance in the future, and will help your doctor determine whether you might benefit from allergy shots.

"Bland and boring"? How about "understated and elegant"?
Was anyone else surprised that G or S didn't offer an opinion contrary to V's dissing the backsplash/granite combo on the June 30 episode?
I find many combinations jarring or likely to look outdated soon. I thought the creamy, subtle combination, with a backsplash with an unusual varied texture, very appealing. I definitely would have chosen it over the other team's selections.
I liked the backsplash and granite. You can use color in your accents. But then again, I have a very pale green living room wall color and last week they did not like that either. I guess I am just a boring person.
I was for it too. I who change my color scheme at whim would feel confined with a choice color in back splash. it's just that all the accessories and attention went to the window and the tables.There should have been more to add. after all they praised the accessories in the dining area. the copper pieces were too small and to blendy. Even a flower arrangement again there to bring the them in from the table would have been good. but abbey had to be busy if she did the backsplash with not too much time to spare.
Abby didn't do the backsplash, the handyman did. Don't you think if there had been darker shades it would have been better? Still could have added other colors to the kitchen but the backsplash would have stood out more.
I probably would have gone for a bit more pop - you don't have to necessarily have a color for drama. If there had been just a little bit of maybe chocolate or a metallic in there it would have stood out more without confining you to a certain array of accessories. However, having said that - I liked it and think that they just had to have something to justify sending her home.
The one thing I hated - and right now I'm tired and can't think of which kitchen it was - but those little patterned curtains were just horrible, IMO and I was surprised nobody mentioned it.
I don't like backsplashes that "pop" or stand out. It's just a taste preference.
Perhaps I used the wrong words - I didn't mean pop or stand out as in, say, a bright neon orange - just something to give it more interest. I liked it, but if it were one of my clients I'd have suggested a little more variation (subtle).
I'm not so sure Jeribai's backsplash was grouted. Was it? He seemed to place the final tile and was done, with less than 1/2 hour left in the challenge.
I agree with doodles about the curtains above the sink - they were a misfit stylistically and physically.
I was ok with the beige counter and backsplash - I thought they were varied in finishes and textures and anyway, they are fixed elements in a kitchen so they need to be long-lasting and transcend trends. My issue in that kitchen was the choice of hardware for the cabinets - I didn't care for the handles in that kitchen.
it was beige on beige on beige... BBBBOOOOORING!
even the drapery was bland.... if they really wanted a pop of color, why not go with a drapery that had teal in it for the basic color? it would have livened the room dramatically and gotten accolades!
brooks was right. it was bland. they could have accessorized better too. i think they had a bowl of lemons for color and that was it. everything else was white or brown. it needed more
I think for "pops" or interest, strong colors work best as accents, in temporary accessories, such as pillows.
Part of my preference probably comes from having lived with a 1980s bathroom that is primarily white, but has several rows of bright blue tile. It's ugly (even though I generally like blues), and it is impossible (for good reason) to find shower curtains and towels with that color. So anything you put in there clashes or looks as if it doesn't "go".
cobalt blue???? omg! there is so much you can do with that! yellow! godawful green.... hot pink.... for the summer red (white and blue). go silver or gray with the blue.... there are so many cobinations it's ovwewhelming!
Unfortunately, I do not like any of those bright colors, and the bathroom is tiny, so bright really overwhelms the space. The tile is hideous, with a "wavy" pattern someone thought was cool in the 1980s--there is just no disguising its ugliness. The whole room needs to be redone (and enlarged, but that can only be done with an addition to the house). Some day...This message has been edited. Last edited by: ACWhite,

The Norman Transcript
NORMAN — Recent reports show that a high-powered hacker group called "Comment Crew," under the control of Unit 61398 of the Peoples Liberation Army of China, has been engaged in a long-term campaign of cyber-attacks against over 120 American companies, as well as United States government and military installations.
These reports coincide with attacks over the past few weeks that have successfully invaded, compromised and infected computer systems at Facebook, Apple Computer, and Twitter. Other attacks have targeted companies ranging from Coca-Cola, the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal, to oil and gas pipeline companies, military contractors, mining companies, telecommunications corporations, chemical plants, and the United States Departments of State and Defense.
Many of the attacks succeeded through the use of so-called "spear phishing" emails. Spear phishing emails are specially-crafted, legitimate-looking messages using a person's actual name, company name, and even street address. The messages often contain a website link that, when clicked, infects the user's computer with nasty software that allows the attacker to control the computer to steal information and attack other computers.
While big-shot corporate executives and top-gun government security agents battle Chinese cyber-spies, you may be wondering, "Hey, what about me? How am I supposed to deal with this?" Those are very good questions. While Ethan Hunt dukes it out with Unit 61398, what are regular mom-and-pop computer users supposed to do in the mean time?
Most computer attacks and viruses work by exploiting flaws that exist in programs we use every day. The primary way to protect your computer is through software updates and upgrades that repair the flaws the bad guys attack.
One program flaw the Chinese super-spies used to hack into computer networks is in Java. Java is a programming language used on thousands of websites. We have Java on our computers so we can use and interact with these websites. New flaws are found in Java all the time, and need to be fixed. If you do not install Java updates, your computer is a sitting duck.
To fix the latest Java problems, most folks simply need to run Java Update. While Java usually updates itself automatically, it's often a good idea to check for updates manually, rather than waiting around for a scheduler to trigger an update. Users of Microsoft Windows should go to Control Panel, make sure that "View" is set to "Classic" or "Small Icons," and then double-click the Java icon. Click the update tab at the top and tell it to "Update Now," then follow the instructions. Avoid any marketing add-ons you may be offered.
Apple Mac users need to update Java, too. Normally, this would be done by clicking the Apple symbol in the upper left-hand corner and running Software Update. However, for some strange reason, doing so in this case installs a crippled version of Java 6, instead of the latest, most-secure and fully-enabled version of Java, which is Mac Java 7.
Stranger still, Mac Java 7 only runs on certain Macs that use "Lion," and not on others. If your Mac uses Lion, go to java.com and get Mac Java 7. Otherwise, brace yourself as I explain the odd world of Mac operating system versions, all named after large, predatory wild felines, and what they mean to you, the end Mac user.
Modern Macs use an operating system called OS X, as in, "Operating System Ten." Various versions of OS X have been released over the years, named after wild jungle cats, with version numbers attached. They include Cheetah (10.0), Puma (10.1), Jaguar (10.2), Panther (10.3) and Tiger (10.4). To see which version of OS X your Mac uses, click the Apple symbol in the upper left-hand corner and select "About This Mac."
If your version begins with "10.5," then you have "Leopard." A fully-updated version of Leopard will read, "10.5.8." If your version begins with 10.6, you have Snow Leopard. 10.7 is Lion, and the latest version, 10.8, is Mountain Lion.
Unfortunately, Apple, just like Microsoft, discontinues support for earlier versions of its operating systems. That means no more updates, no more security patches, no more anything. You are on your own. No more help from Apple.
With this latest Java snafu, millions of 10.5 Leopard users have been hung out to dry. It may sound crazy, but if you use Leopard, then you have now officially been abandoned by Apple, because the latest and best Java versions will not work on your computer. Other products, like Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, bailed out of Leopard last year. Now, you have been abandoned by the mother ship, itself.
That means, to be truly up-to-date and safe, you need to upgrade to at least 10.7 Lion. I would skip 10.6, because it only allows a crippled version of Java to run, and will be the next version Apple will abandon. I would also avoid 10.8, Mountain Lion, as it too new and needs more bugs ironed out. To use the best version of Java, Mac Java 7, and to insure longevity for your machine, upgrade to 10.7 Lion.
I've got some Apple Mac updating to do, and maybe you do, too. There's more to this story than newspaper space will allow, so, if you get stuck, contact me and I'll try to point you in the right direction.

Uber used to be one of my favorite beer bars, but it seems that some of the staff have decided they are the end all be all in the Northwest, and the service has gone downhill. Still got good stuff on tap and good bottles, but I can't support a place that has rude bartenders.

Recommended on Beer Advocate. So made the trip during Beer Safari trip to Seattle with some friends of mine. Wow. Completely agreed. I loved this place. Great, very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Atmosphere was like an eclectic mix of ultra comfy living room; inside fire pit, small bar area, not too dark, moody but fun. Really had a good, relaxed stop with my friends, OK...then the beer, Great rare beers from Cascade, HOD, Midnight Sun, etc. mixed with a very good collection of taps and bottles from just about everywhere. But for a guy who wanted to tap some hard to get NW beers..it was excellent. Fresh tapped Homo Erectus from Walking Man...hmmm, my kinda session beer. perfect!

Visited on December 27th on a Seattle area holiday pub crawl. This place is quite small, but you get a great welcoming vibe when you enter that immediately puts you into your comfort zone. The seventeen taps were nicely selected with a focus on local and PNW beers. Selections are numbered to match the pool ball tap handles! Bartender was very helpful in making recomendations. Crowd was very friendly compared to the typical Northwest standoffishness and we throroughly enjoyed our visit. I'll make a point of coming back here the next time I'm in town.

The adviser Top 100: Wales' fab four
Sponsored By:
by Lawrence Fisher, Natalie Fast on Nov 20, 2012 at 07:00
In the second part in New Model Adviser's top 100 we shine a light on the four advisers who impressed the team on its visit to Wales.
Saran Allott-Davey
Heron House Financial Management
Saran Allott-Davey's career has spanned more than 20 years. In that time, she has served as the chair of the South Wales branch for the IFP and received many awards. Newport-based Allott-Davey is a champion of philanthropy and supports local charities through Heron House. The IFP has awarded Heron House with accredited status.
Darren Lloyd-Thomas
Thomas and Thomas Finance
Darren Lloyd Thomas is known for his personable demeanour and cheeky sense of humour. Together with wife Lisa, he has developed a small but impressive business in Haverfordwest and a good lifestyle based around the couple's smallholding and involvement with the local choir. Lloyd Thomas has 15 years of qualified experience in financial services. He is a regular commentator in the media and believes passionately in bringing the status of the independent adviser up to that of the specialist lawyer or accountant. His short-term ambitions are to gain chartered status for the firm, possibly IFP accredited firm status, and grow it safely to £25 million under advice.
Julie Lord
Bluefin Personal Consulting
Julie Lord set up one of the first fee-based financial planning businesses in the UK, Cavendish Financial Management, in Cardiff in 1991. She sold it to Bluefin, then called Thinc, in 2007. She was one of the first certified and first chartered financial planners in the UK, and was the first woman to be chair and president of the IFP and has had 15 years on the IFP board. She was a member of the FSA education group, and twice a winner of the New Model Adviser® award for Wales. She is a fellow of Manchester Metropolitan University, providing assistance with its financial planning degree course and currently works on the leadership team at Bluefin. 'I still look after the same clients I have had for nearly 20 years and love seeing them realise their lives, passions and dreams,' says Lord.
Marlene Shalton
Guardian Wealth Management
Marlene Shalton is the current IFP president. She established her financial planning practice, Chambers Morgan James Financial Management, in 1991 and in 2007 sold the business to Bluefin, then called Thinc. In 2009, with then-colleague Julie Lord, she won the New Model Adviser® award for Wales. Cardiff-based Shalton is passionate about financial planning and voices this regularly to the media.
She mentors other planners and has supported the Money Advice Service by delivering its 'Making the most of your money' seminars in the workplace. In June, she left Bluefin to become managing director of financial planning practice at Guardian Wealth Management, where she will be responsible for converting the firm's advisers across the world to financial planning.

Muscle-strengthening exercises include lifting weights, using elastic exercise bands, using weight machines or lifting your own body weight. Yoga and Pilates are also muscle-strengthening exercises. However, people with osteoporosis may need to avoid or modify certain positions in these activities. If you've broken bones in the spine due to osteoporosis or notice that you have lost height from what you recall as your young adulthood height, be very careful to avoid activities that require reaching far, bending forward, rapid twisting, heavy lifting and those that increase your chance of a fall.
Muscle-strengthening exercises should be done two to three days a week. You should try to do at least one exercise for each major muscle group. Some of the major muscle groups include:
? Upper back
? Middle back
? Lower back
? Shoulders
? Upper arms
? Forearms (wrists)
? Chest
? Abdominals
? Hips
? Thighs
? Calves (lower legs)
You should do one or two sets of 8 to 10 repetitions for each exercise. If you lift a weight 10 times in a row and then stop, you have completed one set of 10 repetitions. If you can't do 8 in a row, the weight is too heavy or resistance is too much. If you can do more than 10 in a row, you should probably increase the weight or resistance. If you have osteoporosis or are frail, it may be better to do 12 to 15 repetitions with a lighter weight.
As you get started, your muscles may feel sore for a day or two after you exercise. If the soreness lasts longer, you may be working too hard and need to ease up. Exercises should be done in a pain-free range of motion.
http://www.nof.org/osteoporosis/osteoporosis_report_newsletter.htm .
I believe the exercise you are describing is "the hundred." This was considered a warm-up/breathing exercise by Joseph Pilates and is likely the most known exercise in his repertoire. It is a perfect example of an exercise that can be nicely modified to be safe for those with low bone mass, history of a compression fracture, or the diagnosis of osteoporosis.
To do this exercise safely, you would leave your head down on the floor while you do the exercise. Don't be surprised when the exercise becomes more challenging when you lower your head. You can make up for this by raising your legs up or flexing your knees and hips (into a table top position). The instructor can probably help you modify this.
The Pilates article referenced above also includes instructions and photos for modifying the Hundred exercise. All exercises done with the head and neck flexed up should be modified like this. Then, you will get great exercise without putting your bones at risk.
In addition, to protect the spine, people with osteoporosis should avoid doing toe-touches, sit-ups and abdominal crunches, as well as the following:
* Bending forward from the waist
* Twisting of the spine to a point of strain
* Twisting the trunk and bending forward when doing activities such as coughing, sneezing, vacuuming or lifting
* Anything that requires you to reach far. An example is reaching up for items on high shelves when you could lose your balance and fall.
* Having a slumped, head-forward posture
To learn more about exercising and moving safely to protect the spine, you can contact NOF by visiting
http://www.nof.org/response_form/contacts.asp and completing the online request form or by calling NOF at 1 (800) 231-4222. NOF will send you information for free by e-mail or regular mail.
The dx of compression fracture of T8 was termed a moderate wedge, it was revealed on the LVA as part of the dxa test. This is a complete surprise as my Tscore has always been in normal range and still is 0.0. I've not had any trauma to my spine. My blood calcium has been a bit low but, amazingly, my Vit. D level is above normal at 86. If the bone density if the measurement for osteoporosis and mine is fine, then do I note on health questionair that I have osteoporosis? It is all a bit confusing...
Granted I do not do any regular exercise program, but if firewood needs to be brought in (or wood split) in the winter or yardwork needs doing in the summer - I'm the one to do it. I've never thought of myself as a fragile woman at all even though I'm less than 5' tall and weigh 115.
Thanks so much for the information - now to put it to good use and get back out to the weeding.
While bone density correlates well with fracture risk, it only gives quantity of bone but not the quality. Some people can have normal bone density but decreased bone quality. For example, people with diabetes and those who take steroid medications often experience low trauma fractures with normal bone density. Unfortunately, there is no easy way to measure bone quality.
It's important to discuss with your healthcare provider what tests you may need to determine if you have an underlying condition or other risk factor that contributed to your compression fracture. A wedge fracture would typically occur during a movement where your spine is flexed (or rounded). It is very important to carry out exercise and activities with your spine in an upright position, without flexion. If you can, work with a physical therapist to learn how you can move safely, strengthen your back muscles, and prevent future fractures.
Other exercises to strengthen the hip can be found in Chapter 6 of NOF's publication "Boning Up on Osteoporosis: A Guide to Prevention and Treatment." These exercises include illustrations and step-by-step instructions. To purchase a copy, go to www.nofstore.org and click on "Consumer Resources" or call toll-free to 1 (877) 868-4520.
Also, climbing stairs is a great way to strengthen the hip region.
Is the 20 to 25 pound advice supported by research?
What is your opinion of this advice?
Does this advice mean total weight or can each arm have a 25 pound dumbbell?
Does it depend on a woman's age?

KFAI News Awarded and Youth News Initiative 2012 Graduates
KFAI Legacy Producers Receive Page One Awards
By Dale Connelly, KFAI News Director
The Minnesota Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ) has recognized three KFAI Legacy producers for their work. On June 19th, Susan Gray, Mahi Palanisami and Todd Melby received Page One Awards at the 2012 Page One Awards Banquet, which honors the best in Minnesota journalism from 2011.
Susan Gray took Second Place in the Mini-documentary/In-depth Series category for her piece, "MLK Park's Freedom Form II." In the story, Susan explores racial disparities in south Minneapolis, and talks to community members about the 1971 dedication ceremony of Martin Luther King Park at 42nd and Nicollet Avenue South
In the Feature category, Mahi Palanisami received a Third Place award for her story, "Hindustani Music Master Dr. Pooja Goswami-Pavan," which profiles a local Indian ghazal singer and University of Minnesota music professor.
Todd Melby received a Second Place award in the Feature-Length Documentary category for his piece, "Yesterday's Revolution: the Minneapolis 78rpm Record Scene"—a story that takes listeners inside the rarefied world of 78 record enthusiasts, featuring interviews with Scott Holthus, owner of Vintage Music Company in Minneapolis, and Greg Carr, former KFAI host of "Dig Up the Roots."
All of the work was produced as part of KFAI's Legacy initiative, and overseen by Project Manager Nancy Sartor. Legacy stories air weekday mornings at 7:40am during the Takeaway, and Monday and Wednesday evenings from 7:30-8pm during MinneCulture.
They are also also online at ampers.org.
The Legacy Project is made possible by a grant from the Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund. For more information on KFAI's Legacy Project, contact Nancy Sartor at email@example.com.
YNI Teaches Young People to Tell Their Own Stories
By Colleen Powers for the KFAI Network
"I learned that stories can be told in many different ways even though it's the same story." On June 19th, Karen Xiong posted those words on the official blog for KFAI's Youth News Initiative (YNI). Seven weeks later, Karen joined five other students from Minneapolis-St. Paul communities of color in graduating from YNI, all of them newly armed with a summer's worth of journalism knowledge and radio production skills and ready to tell their own stories in their own way.
2012 marks the eighth session of the Youth News Initiative, which has received outside grants in the past but was funded directly through KFAI this year. Emily Krumberger, now wrapping up her year of service as KFAI's Americorps member, acted as co-supervisor for this summer's YNI alongside news director Dale Connelly.
"There's been a lack of people of color making decisions in news departments and in media in general, and a lot of misrepresentation or under-representation of these communities within and by the media," Emily explains. YNI seeks to combat that problem by giving young people the tools to tell stories themselves. The mission is, Emily says, "training the next generation of journalists from communities of color."
Read the rest of the story here to learn more about this year's YNI students and their stories.

Free Groovin' in the Garden Como Park Wednesday Concerts
by Dick Stevens for the KFAI Network
A KFAI T-Shirt Says It All
Matt Reinartz is proud of his KFAI T-shirt with the slogan that reads "A Different Radio Station Every Hour." Matt says that programming concept is behind the free Groovin' in the Garden series being held on the lawn of the Como Park Conservatory Visitor Center from 6 to 8pm every Wednesday through September 5th. Matt is Marketing and Public Relations Manager for the Como Park Zoo & Conservatory, a KFAI business underwriter.
A Natural Choice to Reach Listeners
"KFAI was the natural choice for us to help get the word out about this series to people who love musical variety," Matt says. "We're featuring an exciting lineup of bands playing many different styles of music, including zydeco, jazz, folk, country blues, r & b and rockabilly. The concerts are free. I'm a big fan of local music, and our events offer additional activities that can be fun for the whole family. We'll have lawn games and a climbing wall for kids. Food, beer, wine and cocktails will be available for purchase. And we have a spectacular backdrop for our concerts, including the historic domed conservatory building and the outdoor water gardens and plantings. So put on your dancin' shoes and come on out."
A Great Place for Live Music
Matt points out that it's possible to find live music almost every night in the Twin Cities. He said the very positive public response to the Como Park Music Under Glass series held earlier this year at the conservatory's sunken garden encouraged their sponsorship of a summer series of live outdoor performances. Bands appearing include Crankshaft & the Gear Grinders, The 817 Band, The Auctioneers, The Detroit Don King Blues Band, The Rockin' Pinecones and the Tim Malloys.
A Zookeeper Did the Promotional Announcements
Matt was pleased that Pete Lee, host of KFAI's weekly Bop Street show, delivered the on-air KFAI promotional announcements for the Groovin' in the Garden concerts. Pete happens to works by day at the Como Park Zoo as a giraffe, zebra and hoofed animals zookeeper. More information about the Groovin' at the Garden Wednesday concert series is at www.comozooconservatory.org/events/special-events.

Read onQUESTION: Is there any chance the Blues will not get T.J. Oshie and David Perron re-signed before they become restricted free agents this Sunday? If they do not get them signed before free agency, what is the danger the club could lose one or both of the players?
Theres a good chance the Blues will not have Oshie and Perron re-signed by Sunday, but theres really no danger of losing either player.
Offer sheets are rare in the NHL, and in the event that Oshie and Perron receive one, the Blues are prepared to match them. Having a solid ownership situation makes it less of a risk than in recent years.

I really like this oven! Converted from gas to electric. It was well worth it to pay a little more for convection. The oven heats quickly and bakes evenly. I appreciate the power boil.

I love everything about this range. The very useful 5th burner, the versatile burner temps/capabilities and; most importantly, the convection oven for baking in addition to the regular baking option. This is, by far, the best range I've ever had the pleasure of owning.

Everything about this stove is a step above a regular feature stove, without the high dollar jump!

Both my wife and I like the stove, but we agree that the timer is designed poorly. To use it you enter the time and push the same start button that you push to start the oven. However, when the timer goes off you hit the timer button to shut it off, not the stop button. We have both hit the stop button by mistake shutting down the oven when we didn't want to and screwed up stuff we were trying to bake. Maybe we're just dumb, but I'll bet this has been a problem for others as well. We solved it by using a different timer.

Loving this range...it cooks evenly. It has options on top with the different burners. Really loving the middle burner in which a griddle can be lad on top for cooking or grilling. The convection option is great. With the sale price this was a 5 star purchase.

the oven heats terrifically well and evenly, and the variable burners are a dream. i was heartbroken to lose my half-century old antique but this stove has made 21st century cooking a breeze

This oven is everything we wanted. The convection feature cooks faster and more evenly. The 5 burners and grate system allows you to move pots without lifting them. The high heat burner boils water very quickly.

My old oven broke a week before Thanksgiving.I cook EVERYTHING for the big day. I was worried about trying to cook a 21lb turkey in a convection oven because they cook differently than a standard oven. BEST TURKEY EVER, moist & flavorful, beautifully browned in a little over 2 hours. The pies and side dishes were amazing as well. Can't wait to start my Holiday baking for Christmas!

My new gas range is wonderful. I lost my spacious drawer that I had with my electric range and my sturdy oven racks or I would rate this range as excellent.

The government of Malawi has accused Madonna of refusing consultation over her plans to build 10 new schools in the impoverished African nation. Malawi's Ministry of Education spokeswoman Lindiwe Chide told Reuters that the government was "fed up" with the pop icon, complaining that she did not inform authorities when she scrapped plans for a girls academy due to the alleged mismanagement of funds. "Now she decides to announce that she plans to build 10 schools without getting authority from us again," Chide said of the singer's partnership with the non-profit organization buildOn. "We now feel like this is all about propping up her global image and not in our interest."
"She has no mandate to decide where she wants to build a school because she doesn't know our needs and where we want new schools," Chide told Reuters. "She first needed to consult us, get permission from us before doing anything."
"This is simply not true," Trevor Neilson, the head of the Global Philanthropy Group, fired back in a statement released by Madonna's spokesperson. "The government of Malawi has been fully updated on Madonna's effort to provide funding for ten schools to be built in communities where there are no schools." According to Neilson, Madonna's Raising Malawi organization had communicated with Malawi's Minister of Education and that buildOn had discussed the project with local officials and "cleared all plans for school construction with them."

States' choices set up national health experimentBy RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR
The Associated Press | February 17,2013AP File Photo
Health Secretary Kathleen Sebelius speaks about President Barack Obamas health care overhaul in April 2012.WASHINGTON President Barack Obamas health care overhaul is unfolding as a national experiment with American consumers as the guinea pigs: Who will do a better job getting uninsured people covered, the states or the feds?
The nation is about evenly split between states that decided by the Feb. 15 deadline they want a say in running new insurance markets and states that are defaulting to federal control because they dont want to participate in Obamacare. That choice was left to state governments under the law: Establish the market or Washington will.
With some exceptions, states led by Democrats opted to set up their own markets, called exchanges, and Republican-led states declined.
Only months from the official launch, exchanges are supposed to make the mind-boggling task of buying health insurance more like shopping on Amazon.com or Travelocity.
Millions of people who dont have employer coverage will flock to the new markets. Middle-class consumers will be able to buy private insurance, with government help to pay the premiums in most cases. Low-income people will be steered to safety-net programs like Medicaid.
Its an experiment between the feds and the states, and among the states themselves, said Robert Krughoff, president of Consumers Checkbook, a nonprofit ratings group that has devised an online tool used by many federal workers to pick their health plans.
Krughoff is skeptical that either the feds or the states have solved the technological challenge of making the purchase of health insurance as easy as selecting a travel-and-hotel package.
Whether or not the bugs get worked out, consumers will be able to start signing up Oct. 1 for coverage that takes effect Jan. 1. Thats also when two other major provisions of the law kick in: the mandate that almost all Americans carry health insurance, and the rule that says insurers can no longer turn away people in poor health.
Barring last-minute switches that may not be revealed until next week, 23 states plus Washington, D.C., have opted to run their own markets or partner with the Obama administration to do so.
Twenty-six states are defaulting to the feds. But in several of those, Republican governors are trying to carve out some kind of role by negotiating with federal Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. Utahs status is unclear. It received initial federal approval to run its own market, but appears to be reconsidering.
Its healthy for the states to have various choices, said Ben Nelson, CEO of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. And theres no barrier to taking somebody elses ideas and making them work in your situation.
A former U.S. senator from Nebraska, Nelson was one of several conservative Democrats who provided crucial votes to pass the overhaul.
States setting up their own exchanges are already taking different paths.
Some will operate their markets much like major employers run their health plans, as active purchasers offering a limited choice of insurance carriers to drive better bargains. Others will open their markets to all insurers that meet basic standards, and let consumers decide.
Obamas Affordable Care Act remains politically divisive, but state insurance exchanges enjoy broad public support.
Setting up a new market was central to former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romneys health care overhaul as governor of Massachusetts. There, its known as the Health Connector.
A recent AP poll found that Americans prefer to have states run the new markets by 63 percent to 32 percent. Among conservatives the margin was nearly 4-1 in favor of state control.
But with some exceptions, including Idaho, Nevada and New Mexico, Republican-led states are maintaining a hands-off posture, meaning the federal government will step in.
There is a sense of irony that its the more conservative states yielding to federal control, said Sandy Praeger, the Republican insurance commissioner in Kansas, a state declining to run its own exchange.
First, she said, the laws opponents put their money on the Supreme Court, then on the election. Now that its a reality, we may see some movement.
Theyre not budging in Austin. Texas is not interested in being a subcontractor to Obamacare, said Lucy Nashed, spokeswoman for Gov. Rick Perry, who remains opposed to mandates in the law.
In Kansas, Praeger supported a state-run exchange, but lost the political struggle to Gov. Sam Brownback. She says Kansans will be closely watching what happens in neighboring Colorado, where the state will run the market.
She doubts that consumers in her state would relish dealing with a call center on the other side of the country. The federal exchange may have some local window-dressing but its expected to function as a national program.
Christine Ferguson, director of the Rhode Island Health Benefits Exchange, says she expects to see a big shift to state control in the next few years. Many of the states have just run out of time for a variety of reasons, said Ferguson. Id be surprised if in the longer run every state didnt want to have its own approach.
In some ways, the federal government has a head start on the states. It already operates the Medicare Plan Finder for health insurance and prescription plans that serve seniors, and the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program. Both have many of the features of the new insurance markets.
Administration officials are keeping mum about what the new federal exchange will look like, except that it will open on time and people in all 50 states will have the coverage theyre entitled to by law.
Joel Ario, who oversaw planning for the health exchanges in the Obama administration, says theres a rich dialogue going on as to what the online shopping experience should look like.
To create a website like Amazon is a very complicated exercise, said Ario, now a consultant with Manatt Health Solutions.
He thinks consumers should be able to get one dollar figure for each plan that totals up all their expected costs for the year, including premiums, deductibles and copayments. Otherwise, scrolling through pages of insurance jargon online will be a sure turn-off.MORE IN Wire NewsWASHINGTON At an impasse on immigration, House Republicans and Senate Democrats advanced...
