Archer 31, Dacula 14: Dylan Singleton had three touchdown runs to help host Archer (5-0) beat Dacula (2-3) in a Region 8-AAAAAA showdown. Singleton scored on a pair of three-yard runs in the first half. Dacula tied the game at 7-7 in the second quarter and at 14-14 just prior to halftime before Archer pulled away.
Singleton plunged in from two yards out late in the third quarter to give the Tigers a 21-14 advantage, setting the stage for Chad Bird's heroics in the fourth. Bird returned an interception 63 yards for a touchdown, then forced a fumble on the ensuing kickoff which was recovered by Archer. That led to a 26-yard field goal by Michael Frye, which provided for the final margin of victory. Bird had two interceptions to go along with seven tackles. Archer running back Randy Nails carried 18 times for 106 yards and Gabe Tiller completed 12 of 20 passes for 128 yards.
Central Gwinnett 41, South Gwinnett 7: Eric Forrest threw for 228 yards and three touchdowns in the first half to pace visiting Central Gwinnett to a 35-7 halftime lead.

Collins Hill 42, Mountain View 13: Host Mountain View answered an early 14-0 Collins Hill lead with a Mark Adams touchdown and a pair of field goals to make it 14-13, but after that it was all Eagles.

Etowah's Raishod Devezin and Keith Gordon each rushed for two scores, and Edwin Alfaro connected on a 47-yard field goal before the half.
Grayson 44, Shiloh 3: Mohamed Barry ran in two touchdowns and caught a 3-yard touchdown pass to give host Grayson a 24-3 lead at the half. The Rams added three more rushing scores in the second half including 1-yard scores by Cameryn Brent and junior Kiminzki Flint.

Campbell was paced by Mike Rogers' 168 yards three rushing scores.
Lambert 14, North Forsyth 13: Visiting Lambert jumped out to a 14-0 lead at half, then held on for the road win as North Forsyth scored two touchdowns in the fourth quarter but missed on a potential game-winning two-point conversion try with 1.6 seconds left. Lambert quarterback Tucker Maxwell was 8-of-13 passing with a touchdown pass to Tanner Hall in the first quarter, and Kameron Pickett rushed for a touchdown in the first.
Langston Hughes 44, Newton 7: Running back Keion Davis rushed for two scores and caught a touchdown pass to lead the Panthers in their rout over visiting Newton. Since dropping the season opener to Creekside, Langston Hughes has reeled off four wins in a row, scoring 35 or more in each contest.
Marietta 38, Pebblebrook 6: KirVonte Benson rushed nine times for 102 yards and two touchdowns as host Marietta trounced Pebblebrook. One of Benson's scoring runs came after the Blue Devils blocked a punt and recovered it on the Pebblebrook 1-yard line.

Ian Shannon converted all five of his extra points and added a field goal.

Walton scored its fifth rushing touchdown on a 45-yard run by Ben Hood.

Well lets points out some of the things BK said this week:
Lowndes would be the best team Colquitt has faced. Wrong
Colquitt would not move the ball on Lowndes defense: Wrong
Lowndes would win by a FG:Wrong
Lowndes has the fastest defense in the state: Wrong
I hate that BK prolly wont see this bc im sure he will disappear.

Anyone that witnessed the destruction of Lowndes tonight, bksmith 14, you there, will attest that the Packers are for real! Lowndes fans, you got to see a team tonight! Go Pack Go! All the way to State!

Milton looks very tough. Since the first game they haven't been afraid to mix it up on offense and they're stellar defense continues to hold teams to a handful of points. Ever since they're first game its been an all-team effort on both sides of the football. This team is special. Last year's team was stacked with D1 recruits but this team shows balance, skill and depth across the board. Exciting to watch. There's not much that's going to intimidate the Eagles team this year. What they lack in size in some departments they make up in intelligence, finesse, spirit and killer instinct. Who knows how far they can go this year but I wouldn't count them out even when the cards might be heavily stacked against them. This is a team that knows how to close and get it done. Hats off to the kids and great coaching..

Man, those refs at Martin Stadium must have been really bad! How did Colquitt County beat Lowndes by 19 points, oh, wait, it was 30 points? That can't be right! BK said it would be close, Lowndes by a FG. Those dang refs!

Woodstock 44 Lassiter 43. I dont know if this is still considered an upset because lassiter isnt who they have been in the past not even close, especially after seeing their score last week when they only beat Cherokee on a missed extra point by cherokee's kicker. I will say it here first Lassiter will not make the playoffs.

I can't take nothing for Camden young team they played a great game, but where are the Camden folks who said yall was going to win by 14 points and hang 31 points on us. One too many bad calls was too much for us against an good team. That bogus fumble while we were moving the ball near the redzone was the icing on the cake. What a great game overall, I just hate bad officials and bad calls in a slugfest.
September 28th, 2013

Congratulations to Tift on a great game.
Now for the bad news. The last I heard at the Coffee shop after the game last night was Coffee has four players that were injured during last nights game who may be lost for a while. Coffee also had two key defensive players who did not dress out last night due to injuries during practice.
Now for the really bad news. With ten seconds to go in the game and Tift with the ball on second dowm, a Tift player hit a Coffee player hard in the facemask with both hands. Although I think an official saw it and would have probably penalized Tift, he also saw several Coffee players immediately mob the Tift player who committed the foul. Coffee had two players ejected who, of course, will not play next week.
Now for the really, really bad news. On this part I am not sure of all the details. The Coffee coaches were admonishing the Coffee players that were ejected and another melee broke out on the Coffee sideline with no Tift players involved. The Coffee coaches immediately sent as many as four more key players directly to the locker room. I do not know why. I do know Coach Robby does not put up with any jaw jacking or back talk and will most likely sit them out for all or a significant part of the game with Camden next week.
So Camden fans. I knew you would not want to win this way but it looks like you may be facing a Coffee team down twelve starters next week.
I do not know if the ejections will be appealed or not.
The officials definitely let the game get out of control last night but more Tift players than Coffee players kept their composure.
What a big, sad, terrible mess.
September 28th, 2013
5:36 am
reggaeman, Here I am. It should not have been that close of a game, but it is what it is and yes, Camden should have won by more than 14 pts. How about that BOOMING punt by the Camden punter, was it 68 yards ? WOW……Linebackers stepped up tonight, especially Mastone # 36 was everywhere. Offensive line much improved and D-Line stepped it up. A Win is a Win. I guess you saw the bogus interception at the end of the game too …….
Now the two I really missed was the Colquitt whooping of Lowndes and Tift's win over Coffee, but I guess that is Region 1-AAAAAA football.
Colquitt's Offense really showed out and they look tough to beat. Hat's off to CC Packers.

@57Cat – You're right sir. The refs did indeed cost Lowndes the game. Every time you turned around they were raising two hands in the air….(Smile).
Let me just add…THE BLACKHATS MADE ME PROUD !!!!
September 28th, 2013

Congrats to all the winners. Lowndes is bringing down the strength of schedule. And we thought Newton was a fluke.
I will miss our friend, BK, the "Bragging King". He has said so much about how good the were. How fast they were. The offense this. The defense that. If only they had their 2 best players !
September 28th, 2013

FINALLY, a region win for Tift County. Maybe we've turned a corner & there will be more success in the future. Go Big Blue.

Come on, Camden74, please doing try to take BK's place as the most obnoxious blogger. Accept your win humbly. The scoreboard says you won by 4. Your team coulda done this and shoulda done that. Guess what, my Cats shouldn't a done this or that, etc. The fact is, a heck of a game was played by two really good football teams and my team lost. Maybe we'll see you again down the road. I hope so.
September 28th, 2013
8:16 am
I hope some of the Coffee Coaches are reading these comments….
T. Pruitt's offensive play calling was terrible last night. Everyone but him could see in the 1st Qtr. that TIft was strong up the middle on defense….. so why would continue to run the ball up the middle? Don't really understand also why, which was apparent to all watching the game, that OB #7 was told who to throw the ball to on pass play, not looking the field to see which one of his receivers was open! You could watch his head movement on pass play and see exactly who he was throwing too.
Let's blame this one on coaching!

@ NE CAT – Go to VALDOSTA WILDCATS FOOTBALL.COM and watch the game on film. It might make you have a diffence of opinion on the OFFICIATING and outcome of the game.
However, congrats on a big win and CAMDEN will be a factor when its all said and done in December!!
To all the VALDOSTA WILDCAT NATION, lets regroup, lick our wounds during this bye week and get ready for Lowndes in 2 weeks. We need to let this one go and get refocused. This WILDCAT team will rise up and take care of business!!!!

Colquit you looked like the team to beat this year. But then 2 years ago you also looked like the team to beat after playing us. So the question begs are you going to finally finish the drill? Finally win the last game of the year? You have the horses (I mean pigs) to get it done.
September 28th, 2013

@yo your horses couldnt keep up with the little pigs last night. everybody was saying the packers was gon light that new scoreboard up last night…what a difference a bye week can do 4 a team….defense played lights out…even without pittman that was a statement game last night that equals 2 words PURE DOMIANCE!!

Last night at Tift game…Ref's were a joke! 15 yards on the coffee band for what? Many more calls both ways that were wrong. Players hit another player with his fist in the face in front of ref and no call..fumble that wasn't a fumble…many more calls effected the out come. Coffee play calling was really bad and a few hot head players for Coffee and couple for Tifton should not be on teams. It was sad night for HS football for both teams…

12:46 pm
@BIG CHIEF . . . yea, I wasn't exactly on the edge of my seat last night, but there were a lot of great takeaways: (1) 1st offensive drive aside, team played well with no measurable letdown, (2) relatively injury-free game, (3) rest for some key, banged-up players, (4) invaluable experience for some of the younger guys, and (5) opportunity for some teammates to get some playing time who otherwise probably wouldn't in a close game. Maybe just what the doctor ordered.

Great game last night by both the Blue cats and the Yellow cats. I was upset with the officiating, but I wasn't on the field so I guess they did their best. The "Ghost of Jeff Heron" was calling the plays last night. Run left, run right, run up the middle. Coffee County just put 11 players near the line of scrimmage next week. That will keep it close.

@sad fan/gm1957 – I have to agree with you both. I was indeed a pitiful display of play calling. And after Tucker Pruitt's brilliance in the first four games. Over and over straight down the field passing and the three plays, (or four), up the middle and nothing.
The entire game was out of control. For both teams. I don't have any idea what was going on at the end of the game when so many players were sent to the locker room before the game was over.
It looked to me as if the Coffee defense was told to just stand and let Tift score on their last TD.
I just do not get it. Everything was so out of character.

Come on "some" Coffee fans we all know the Band can not ply when the other teams O snaps the ball…. unless said band has a LOW at the beginning of the name of the team…..

@westcobb5- I totally agree with all your takeaway points. But I guess it'd be nice to have our kids pad their stats the way some other teams do. But that's not the way Coach rolls and I respect that. We definitely need some key players to get healthy for the stretch run. Getting playing time for the backups key also.

All I can say is Bk is an extremely proud booster of Lowndes that disappears after a loss, and the worse the loss, the longer he disappears.

Review: Tomb Raider is a fantastic start to a bold, new direction for the franchise
Reboots can be risky. On one hand, you run the risk of alienating long-time fans of the original franchise by changing it too much, only to appeal to a larger audience. However, if you don't change the game enough, you're left with the same crowd who enjoyed the previous games, but also criticized it for the lack of innovation. Luckily, Tomb Raider does everything right. It changes... Read More

How Do You Work Out at Home?
I know this is the sort of thing you'd usually read about in the early days of the new year, but I have a confession to make. Since moving to Seattle, I've gained 15 pounds, and I'm worried that I'll have to swap my LBD for a muumuu this holiday season! In San Diego, I walked everywhere, but I just can't motivate myself to do that when icy rain is pelting my face. The solution: working out at home. But how?
To clear up the obvious question — why don't I join a gym? — let me just say that it's not in the budget, and even if it were, I have despised gyms since the first one I went to when I was a kid (I grew up in SoCal and started early).
I think working out at home is more doable, and I have a few items to facilitate home workouts, from my ballet barre (I really dig The Bar Method) to hand weights, yoga blocks, and a few pieces of resistance tubing. I have a stack of DVDs, too.
This year, my man and I are thinking about buying some kind of cardio machine, but everything I've looked at is so bulky and ugly, with the exception of the super high-end stuff. And I wonder if, like my existing stash of gear, an elliptical or rowing machine would simply collect dust.
It's not that I'm lazy — not entirely, anyway. I ski all winter and hike all summer. But I love food and booze, too, so working out is a necessity.
I think a big part of the problem is that I don't have a designated place to exercise at home. We keep our TV downstairs in the finished basement, where one overzealous relevé could put a hole through the low ceiling. Instead, I've taken to working out in my home office, but I have twinges of guilt and stress whenever I stare at the pile of work on my desk. It's really hard to make that mental switch.
In a fantasy world, we'd all have fabulous home gyms like the one pictutred above from Interiorholic. They've rounded up a few inspiring spaces in their Home Gym Interior Design Ideas post, but they're all high-end and I'm looking for realistic solutions. Other than persuading a drill sergeant with a whistle to work for free (maybe I can borrow Tracy Anderson from Gwynnie?), I'm stumped.
So, readers, I turn to you: How do you make working out at home work for you? What kind of equipment do you use? Do you have a designated area in your home?

Have you thought about an indoor bike trainer? If you already own a bike for outdoor riding, it's easy to set up and stash out of the way. It's also more affordable than some larger pieces of cardio equipment. Here is just one example: http://www.rei.com/product/707996/cycleops-magnetic-bike-trainer?cm_mmc=cse_froogle-_-gpeLink-_-product-_-707996&mr:trackingCode=E8764FFE-FB85-DE11-B7F3-0019B9C043EB&mr:referralID=NA&{copy:s_kwcid}=&mr:adType=pla&gclid=CIm6uve3r6wCFUbf4AodYz8AGA
Good luck!
I had a treadmill for a few years; unfortunately, I ended up wearing it out. When it became clear that I would have to spend a lot more money for one that would keep up with my walking habits (3-5 miles a day 5-6 days a week), I decided to walk outside when I can (I live in WI, so don't walk when it is icy or below about 20F due to bronchial issues). I also have a gym membership close to my home for days I can't.
I lived in the PNW for 12 years and I actually loved walking in the rain and the damp. If you get good waterproof shoes and a good raincoat, it can actually be very invigorating. I walked 3 miles each way to work and only missed a few days over 10 years I was in that job. Of course, my "perfect climate" would probably be Scotland, so I may not be the best person to ask.
It doesn't usually rain hard in Seattle. When I moved to Washington state from California, I bought a big raincoat and rainhat and sometimes also used an umbrella. I learned to love walking in the rain
Try looking for 'used' exercise machines on Craigslist; there are a lot of exercise machines out there that got very little use by their first owners! ; )
I have a Healthrider that was basically new when I got it used, and I really like it. And it fits in the closet in my spare bedroom when I have company.
I use a jumprope when I travel and incorporate basic movements like sit ups, push ups, squats, etc. into short, interval style workouts. As long as the ceiling in your office is high enough for a jumprope, should work for you!
DVDs. I have all of Jillian Michael's DVDs, hand weights and a mat. But I have to be honest, my husband created a workout room for me in our new house. It is in the utility room in the basement. It isn't pretty, but it is my space with a treadmill, a spin bike and a new elliptical that he bought me. I am spoiled. But with 3 kids, a mom with Alzheimers and a full time job, I really need this space at 5 a.m. every morning because we live in Madison, WI.
Good luck.
@Anepasor: You deserve that room and a halo! My goodness, your post is as good as a drill sergeant. I'm impressed. Compared to Wisconsin, Seattle is a sauna, so I should just suck it up and get back to my walking (other than my usual mile or two with the pooch). I guess I got spoiled in San Diego, but maybe I'll learn to be invigorated by the rain. Also, K1tsun3, thanks for the tip about Craigslist. I occasionally see workout gear at the Goodwill, also, so maybe I'll give that a go.
I've got the same set up as anepasor, above, including my disabled sibling I care for in addition to kids. Michigan winters will pack pounds on the foodies in this home, too! Jillian's DVD's never fail to kick my behind, however last year I shelled out some dough and bought a CyclOps trainer for my road bike and did that for about 20 minutes every morning before work because I was getting bored of my Jillian routine. After the bike, I'd do her ab routine. The trainer is pretty compact and stows away well -- however it's not cheap -- but, it does the job if you like to bike.
Our "workout room" is in our utility/laundry room in the basement as well...we're lucky not to have low ceilings. My husband has hung a piece of metal pipe from chain on one of the ceiling joists and uses it for pull ups. I think the hardest thing about working out at home is making time for it because it's easy to get sidelined by housework, kids and the couch...and angry birds.
I want the life that goes with the picture above.
People I know swear by the wii fit - apparently you can watch tv while working out with the wii running in the background. 3 miles walked in an hour long show isn't too bad.
awesome & beautiful!
bodyrock.tv awesome intense home workouts and most you can do without any equipment at all.
@anepasor Thank for the inspiration. I'm 20 minutes northwest of Madison and... I love winter but I sure can't count on working out in the elements. Congrats on your room!
The Midwest certainly does make it rough to be inspired to go someplace to workout in the winter. As long as I have room for my yoga mat somewhere I'm pretty happy. I loose out on cardio that way, but yoga does wonders. And there's a lot of programs to follow streaming online.
I hear ya! I've gained 30 lbs since my move to Maui from Honolulu. I think just a lot of change can derail healthy living also. Good luck!
If you don't like a gym, are there other alternatives (Zumba, pilates) that might be to your liking? I don't have room in my place for a cardio machine so I do the outside walking (I take pics along the way for my blog so double duty), swim and go to a variety of other non big gym like activities.
It sounds like you have all the raw materials...perhaps one thing factor in is how you see your workouts.
For sure exercising to ward off too much food and booze are good reasons, but one that might motivate you more is you realizing that you are loving yourself when you work out. You are bringing the very best of yourself with each workout.
Designating an hour to focus on you no longer should excite feelings of guilt but exhilaration that you will be a better partner, employee and 'you' after a good sweaty burn:).
Resistance bands (5 lb, 10 lb, 25 lb) do the most for keeping me looking like a hottie. When I get buff enough, I'll move up to the 50 lb bands, but I'm good with the 10 lb one for now. Compact, light, easily transportable... what's not to like?
I'm also contemplating buying an indoor bike trainer as well for the winter, and then riding it outdoors when spring comes.
I have a wii, and just got just dance 3. They have challenges to keep you motivated and its fun to dance first thing in the morning.
I do 90 minutes a day on my Schwinn Airdyne exercycle while watching podcasts, and I go to gentle yoga once a week. The bike is in my home office, but I completely understand what you mean about the stress of your work nearby. Would your TV room be an alternative?
If you start a routine like this and stick with it for a little while, you'll feel so great you won't want to miss it.
I should really walk more, though, so if you will, I will ;-)
Good luck, and thank you for all your great AT articles!
I'm also a fellow Bar Method lover. Currently I'm taking the classes in studio 4 days a week, but when I don't have time I use the DVDs at home.
The equipment is so minimal, I love it.
I actually love running in the rain! I had a hard time adjusting to it when we were in Portland, but after a while, that misty cardio was something I looked forward to.
@Vintage Birthday: Yes, I will walk if you will. And thank YOU.
@JulieLeanne: Soooooo jealous. The nearest studio is pretty far from my house, and driving in Seattle is such a headache. I would definitely prefer to do the Bar Method with others. It's so challenging and especially fun if you've done ballet in the past!
hook your laptop up to your tv and stream you tube videos - the first three are the hardest, once you've established a habit, it will become part of your routine. I would figure out if you can establish a routine before buying expensive ugly bulky equipment (to make sure you will definitely use it.
We got a dog, which is great and also forces me to walk outside every single day no matter what. It's really, really, really good for me since I work from home.
Otherwise, I do yoga at home, which isn't ideal (I have to slide the coffee table out of the way) but works pretty well. The key for me was getting the equipment-- two blocks, a strap, a bolster, blankets, as well as a good Iyengar book. And I take one class a week at a nearby studio to keep me honest.
This is MAGIC for Pilates at home: http://www.elliehermanpilates.com/pilates-springboard/
She has amazing customer service, and offers a much better deal than if you order from Balanced Body or other outlets.
If I had to buy just one cardio machine, it would be a spin bike because of it's versatility. You can ride the bike seated or standing up, like a "real" bike. It's an amazing core workout.
Admittedly, I'm biased, because I'm both a bike commuter, as well as participate in cycling classes taught by a pro.
Another home workout alternative is power or flow yoga. I recently started taking classes, and I've become addicted. Minimal equipment needed. A couple of dvds, yoga mat and one or two yoga blocks.
This reminds me I need to start my diet.
Walking path behind our house in park goes 7 miles. Yoga strap for stretching. Dogs who demand play all day. oh! and Ping Pong is a shared passion with my partner (we don't do golf)
Doyogawithme.com is a great free yoga video source. Pretty scenery, great instructors and clearly stated goals/intensity for each video.
However, I was interested in the HOME DESIGN implications of this question. If you have equipment/machines, where do you put it? No one wants a treadmill floating in the bedroom, but it happens. One woman mentioned a utility room, for example. And how do you style that space if at all? For me, these things matter.
I have my green yoga mat and small dumbbells in a basket against a huge mirror propped against a wall in my great room. From the mirror hangs a framed quote about flexibility in life. This is a way I incorporate and encourage my own (admittedly inconsistent) yoga within my living space. However, I would like to have some sort of cardio machine, and that will go to the basement! Will enjoy pondering where, how and all the aesthetic implications.
Good luck to all on your fitness journeys.
From one Seattleite to another - WELCOME! It can be tough here in the winter...
I'm with Elle Town - I love my bike trainer - much less expensive than workout machines. They store nicely and hold their resale value better than a NordicTrak :)
Meetup.com has a trillion workout groups that could be a good way to to both meet new people and try workouts you hadn't considered before. Yoga studios offer free first-timer deals on Meetup all the time, too.
Run. Someone else mentioned that it doesn't rain that hard and I agree the rain can be nice if you're really working it - I recommend the Waterfront (with a friend at night though), Alki Beach, the Burke Gillman (again, buddy system at night).
Don't know if cable is in your budget, but Comcast On-Demand used to have free workout videos from ab workouts to yoga.
Buy 5 to 10 lb dumbbells or a tension band. I find if I hit three or four arm sets before jumping in the shower on work days it takes no time.
GOOD LUCK!! Ultimately you're going to have to do what works for you!
Personally, I think that photo is a crime scene of ugliness perpetrated on some fantastic architecture. Exercise equipment is really ugly and not necessary. Large towel, resistance bands, hand weights and DVDs. Back in the closet when done.
Wii Fit, Sara Ivanhoe yoga videos, and indoor sports. But really, moving to a walkable neighborhood is what has done the trick for me. Even though I'm also a rain-walker and love cloudy autumn walks, using my feet as a primary mode of transportation is really what keeps me going. If you can break away from your car, you'll be better for it.
I second the bodyrock.tv suggestion. I have little time/patience for long workouts, and these are short, effective, and all you really need is an interval timer, a yoga mat, and enough space to jump forward twice. Down with unnecessary equipment!
Workout DVDs have always worked great for me. Yoga, pilates - I've been sticking with gaiam's series of all sorts. Little equipment required & I buy a new CD every once in a while to keep it interesting. But I agree with others - invest in rain gear instead of an indoor machine. I love walking my dogs (I'm also a Seattleite) as long as I have my rain coat & layers on.
I don't know who your cable provider is, but here in LA I use Time Warner and their "On Demand" area has free 30 - 60 minute workout videos under the Exercise section. Those are a great compliment to a quick run or bike ride, and they actually range from deep stretching to cardio and weight workouts. I bought (2) 5lb weights from Ross for 3.99 each. TJ Maxx and Ross actually have a lot of at home work-out aids (bands, balls, weights, DVDs etc) that are very economically priced. Also, try checking out your local YMCA. When I lived in Scottsdale membership dues were something like 15$/month. Lastly, I'd also keep an eye out on Groupon or Living Social for Book Camps or Personal Training deals. Good Luck!
Lifehacker just had a piece on this. Maybe check out this article on how to work out at home with only your body. http://lifehacker.com/5839197/how-to-get-a-full-body-workout-with-nothing-but-your-body
Gear! You need gear! There is so much great weatherproof exercise clothing out there, it makes running (my thing) or walking in the rain (Northern California) fun. I actually look forward to the cooler months when I can 'gear up.'
Bodyrock.tv is great! Also, I find a lot of great short workouts that require little to no equipment on pinterest. The latest one I found is an intense interval workout that only takes 4 minutes!

Sweater J. Crew (on sale!), Blouse Karen Kane, Jeans c/o James Jeans, Necklace Forever21, Bag Chicos, Flats c/o ShoeMint, Sunglasses Dior
Every Sunday Thomas and I head to the farmer's market to stock up on fresh produce and fruit. We would usually go to the Ferry building but now that we live in the Marina, we tried out the smaller market at Fort Mason. Since our weekends are pretty low key, I always opt for something comfortable and easy to walk in. These James Jeans (I am wearing the Couture Skinny Vesper) are the perfect pair of skinny jeans that can go with everything. I love the way they fit and the quality is amazing. I wore them a couple times during the week and they didn't stretch out like most jeans, which I find so annoying. They are definitely my new favorite pair of jeans and you will be seeing a lot more of them! Check out James Jean's new collection here and get 25% off your whole order! Use code: JJ007 now until 10/15 Trust me, you will love them!

DoD begins planning for sequestration cuts
Wednesday - 12/5/2012, 11:56am EST
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Defense Department says it has begun planning for the roughly $500 billion in personnel and program cuts that will be needed if Congress and the White House fail to reach an deal that would avoid the double hit of tax hikes and automatic spending cuts dubbed the fiscal cliff.
Pentagon spokesman George Little says the Pentagon started this week to look at how to implement the cuts, which amount to 9.4 percent across the board. He warned that it could force the department to throw out its new military strategy, which was designed to deal with the $487 billion in spending cuts already ordered for the next 10 years.
The cuts could affect spending on weapons and technology programs and how the military provides for troops, among other things.

With March nearly half over, planting conditions and weather forecasts are top-of-mind.
In some southern states, planters are already rolling. "Corn planters rolling here," reports a southeast Arkansas farmer to AgWeb's Crop Comments. "Temps could be a little warmer, but we take what we get."
A farmer from Fayetteville County, Texas, already has some corn up. "Our moisture is kind of iffy but our corn should come up. Soil seems very cold for Texas this time of year. The corn below was planted Feb. 22."
Needed moisture in hard red winter wheat areas are lowering prices. Kim Anderson, Oklahoma State extension economist, says the biggest reason wheat price declined was improved soil moisture in both the corn and HRW wheat growing areas. "Moisture over the hard red winter wheat area trumps just about any other market factor."

Brad Rippey, USDA Meteorologist, says overall drought conditions are improving.
"So if you look at the major row crops in the Midwest, which includes corn and soybeans, we do have a fairly favorable moisture situation at least in the top soil moisture levels heading into Spring," he says. "The overall picture is certainly better than we were this time last year, especially for the Midwest. We still have a lot of concerns from California to the central and southern plains however."
Even though some areas of the country have put the drought behind them (See: Drought Conditions Cease in Eastern Corn Belt), many areas are still suffering. For a recent AgWeb poll, more than 1,800 people have shared their answer to: How long do you expect the drought to last in your area? Around 33% of the votes are for more than one year.

tea & your health: an orientation
Dr John Weisburger(1), President Emeritus for Research, American Health Foundation
Since antiquity, many have written of the health effects of tea. When the beverage reached the English speaking world, its salutary effects were one of the first selling points(2). Various experiments had been conducted since but it was in the 1960's that systematic and serious scientific researches began, intensifying in the past three decades. Findings have increasingly pointed to the extraordinary potency of tea as a health drink, exceeding even the claims in traditional beliefs.
These health benefits are printed in many publications and posted all over the internet so we shall present some of the more reliable sources and list the summaries in several pages in this site. We think, however, there are more we can share as experienced insiders and users, so we shall also write about it from our experience and understanding.
A Holistic Look
Before you read on to some of the recent scientific findings, I would like to stress that they cover only a part of what tea is. There are tens of potent materials in tea and we are only beginning to understand a few. They have been isolated in studies and applications now but the synergic effects of these substances are yet to be understood.
Tea had begun as a medicine over 3,000 years ago, some say 5,000. Today, leaves from certain older strains of drinkable varieties of Camellia sinensis, if just dried under the sun like they still do in Yunnan, can still be bitter and harshly astringent, which could well be what tea tasted like then. By 59 BC, however, tea had somehow already become a household drink and a hospitality item in the western half of China(3). In order for it to be used in such capacity, the taste of the plant must have changed because of the domestication over that early millennium.
tea: Most abundent in flavonoids
Both the horticulture and processing of tea have evolved dramatically since then. Hundreds of cultivars yield thousands of selections available today to suit different taste preferences and consumption pattern. Because of the change in the plant nature as well as processing methods, the biochemical compositions of the products become different. The salutary properties thus vary from one another. Quality grades make even greater gaps between selections. In 2007, US Department of Agriculture published a survey(4) of the different flavonoid contents (a group of crucial health contributing substances in plant products, to which tea polyphenols belong) of various produces, highlighting especially those of green and black tea. The flavonoid amounts in the tea in this survey can be tens of thousand times different. The staggering figures reflect not only the potency difference between tea types but also that between different qualities. Use of better qualities is therefore not only a matter of taste, but also one of health.
The USDA survey was only preliminary in terms of presenting tea as green, black, and an under-representation of oolongs. Within these groups, the vast biochemical differences between the hugely available selections have yet to be studied. They have not even touched the categories of white and post-fermented teas. Flavonoids are just one group of substances in the many bioactive constituents of tea. In fact, many unanswered questions have yet to be researched in this unique drink.
The Next Direction: A Gestalt Understanding of Tea
Although there have been a large number of medical researches in tea in the past twenty some years, only a few substances have been isolated for studies for their effects against limited number of ailments. The gestalt effects of tea on the human wellbeing as a whole have much areas yet to understand.
Nevertheless, tea has been considered as a health beverage both in the East and West with long lists of its benefits.
For a few years I have spent much time in the retail frontline to be in close contacts with end-users from various backgrounds. Healthy people, old and young, from school children to medical scientists, and people with ailments, from emotional trauma to cancers. These people of various ethnic and cultural backgrounds have helped to reinforce and refine my understanding the drink. Their experience added significant dimensions, additional observations and insights to my own experience, and all the scientific reports I have read.
I think one most overlooked topic in understanding the drink in health term is the understanding of its holistic nature and the various manifestations in the different varieties. Their relationship with the unique physiological state of the individual is an important consideration. I can only share my empirical understanding in this respect and some of the language would have to be mixed with that of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). I hope the readers will forgive this mix of tones in the related writings published here now and in the future.
Not just a supplement or medicine
Tea can mean harm though, if abused or misused, though the effects would be far lighter than if you abuse other substances, such as food or alcohol. I have listed some common sense in the "Do's and Don'ts" page in this section, as well as a few substances in tea that some people would have a concern of.
However, tea should not be seen as a medicine<more>. Not only, maybe. A customer with terminal multiple cancers made the best of the last few months of her life spending much time over tea in the hospital, doing tea interest groups and preparing it for inmates. Less than a year before, she had joined one of my tea classes to learn about tea and gongfu infusion skills. Tea failed to change around her fate, but it has most positively been a companion, to her and the people she shared with.
I have been encouraging my 9-years-old boy to experience more tea, but I cannot tell how well it has contributed to his health. However, his confidence in telling people about handling hot teapots and distinguishing various teas by taste is always amusing.
As for myself, tea is not only a "keep well" and the finest drink, but it is also my regular excuse for leaving the seat for a break.
Tea is a healthy habit far more than the biochemical dimension.
1. Dr Weisburger has held many titles in the medical fields and has been a well-recognized researcher in cancer prevention in the US. This quote is seen in many publications and similar sayings appear in his own books. He said he drinks 8 cups of green tea a day. He is 89 yrs old at the time of this writing. American Health Foundation went bankrupt in 2004 due to financial issues.
2. There were quite a number of artifacts advertising tea in 17th century England, but the most quoted one was a circular by Thomas Garway "in Exchange Alley, near the Royal Exchange, in London, Tobacconist, and Seller and Retailer of Tea and Coffee" in 1660. It was written in a style that maybe suitable in his time, but really hardselling and not that scientific. We suspect that he might have been inspired from some dainted translation of classic Chinese writing passed to him by merchant sailors by words of mouth. Click here to read a replication of his leaflet.
3. "Tong Yue" (Contract for Household Male Slave), by Wang Bao in 59 B.C., as compiled in the encyclopedic "Gu Wen Yuan" (The Garden of Ancient Literature), vol 17 in the 9th century A.D. In an incidence when a male household slave argued that he should not be sent out of town to buy wine, the minister in Chengdu (capital, Sichuan Province) wrote a standard contract, so as to set the scope of duties for all to follow. The duties included preparing and serving tea to the guests and buying tealeaves from a famous source 30 km away in Wuyang.

DULUTH - A DeKalb County police officer tried to talk his way out of being arrested last weekend, according to a Duluth police report.Michael Andrew Oneal's silver Chrysler 300M was pulled over by a Duluth officer Saturday morning when the officer allegedly saw Oneal driving recklessly along Pleasant Hill Road. According to the report, the officer could smell alcohol on Oneal's breath. The report said the 43-year-old from Cumming admitted to having a few drinks at a Braves game earlier in the night and tried to convince the Duluth officer not to arrest him, saying, "We are brothers, just let me park my car," and "I have helped other officers who have been drinking and driving." A cup containing beer was also found in Oneal's vehicle, according to the report. An Alco Sensor test registered Oneal's alcohol blood level as .100. The legal limit in Georgia is .08. Oneal was arrested and taken to the Duluth Police Department where his alcohol level was recorded as .103. The DeKalb Sergeant was booked into the Gwinnett County Jail shortly before 2 a.m. Saturday and posted bond the same day. Oneal was charged with having an open container in his vehicle, speeding, driving under the influence and failure to maintain his lane.

FDA Update
FDA Approves First Drug Developed for Children with Rare Brain Tumor
Last week, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Afinitor Disperz—pediatric doses of everolimus (Afinitor) tablets—to treat a rare brain tumor called subependymal giant cell astrocytoma (SEGA). Afinitor Disperz is the first approved form and dose of a drug developed to treat pediatric tumors.
Afinitor Disperz dissolves easily in a small amount of water, making the treatment easy to administer to patients who are unable to swallow whole tablets. It is also available in smaller doses than everolimus, the adult form of the drug.
Afinitor Disperz is recommended to treat patients 1 year of age and older who have tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) and are diagnosed with SEGA but who are ineligible for surgery. Prior to the approval of this new dosage form, everolimus was recommended only for patients 3 years of age and older.
TSC is a rare genetic disease that causes tumors to grow in the brain and other vital organs. SEGA is a slow-growing tumor that can cause life-threatening complications by blocking the flow of fluid in the brain. These tumors occur in 6 to 9 percent of TSC patients, generally children and young adults.
Everolimus blocks the uncontrolled activity of a protein called mTOR kinase, which plays a critical role in the development and growth of SEGA tumors occurring in patients with TSC.
Everolimus was granted accelerated approval in 2010 to treat SEGA in patients with TSC.
Everolimus and Afinitor Disperz remain under accelerated approval for the treatment of SEGA in patients with TSC. Everolimus' manufacturer, Novartis, updated safety and efficacy data from the single-arm study of 28 pediatric and adult patients used to support the drug's accelerated approval in 2010 for the treatment of SEGA in patients with TSC.
In a more recent study involving 117 pediatric and adult patients who were randomly assigned to take everolimus or a placebo daily, 35 percent of patients treated with everolimus experienced tumor shrinkage compared with none who were treated with placebo. The most common side effects observed in patients with SEGA were mouth ulcers and respiratory tract infections.
Studies continue to evaluate the long-term safety and effectiveness of everolimus and Afinitor Disperz in pediatric and adult patients with SEGA. Afinitor Disperz is classified as an orphan drug because it is intended to treat a rare disease or condition. Afinitor Disperz's application was granted priority review, which the FDA completed in 6 months.
New Treatment for Severe Neutropenia Approved
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved a drug called tbo-filgrastim to shorten bouts of severe neutropenia, a condition that leads to decreased levels of infection-fighting white blood cells (neutrophils). Some patients with cancer who receive chemotherapy develop severe neutropenia.
Tbo-filgrastim is intended for adults who have cancers other than blood or bone marrow cancers and who are taking chemotherapy drugs that substantially decrease the production of neutrophils in the bone marrow. This reduction in neutrophils may lead to infection and fever (febrile neutropenia).
Injections of tbo-filgrastim stimulate the bone marrow to increase the production of neutrophils and are administered 24 hours after chemotherapy treatment.
A randomized clinical trial showed that patients treated with tbo-filgrastim recovered from severe neutropenia in 1.1 days compared with 3.8 days for those who received the placebo. The study involved 348 patients with advanced breast cancer who were being treated with doxorubicin (Adriamycin) and docetaxel (Taxotere).
In three clinical trials evaluating the drug's safety, the most common side effect observed was bone pain.
FDA Approves Drug to Treat Rare Type of Leukemia
Last month, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved vincristine sulfate liposome (Marqibo) to treat adults with a rare disease called Philadelphia chromosome-negative acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).
Vincristine sulfate liposome is approved for patients whose leukemia has returned at least twice or whose leukemia has progressed following two or more prior treatments. The drug contains vincristine, a common anticancer agent, encased within a liposome, a drug delivery vehicle composed of material similar to that of cell membranes. It is an injection administered once a week by a health care professional.
The drug's effectiveness was evaluated in a clinical trial of adults whose leukemia had relapsed at least twice despite standard treatments and who had responded to at least one previous treatment for at least 90 days. Ten of the 65 enrolled patients (15.4 percent) had a complete remission or a complete remission with an incomplete blood count recovery. In these 10 patients, the remissions lasted for a median of 28 days. The median time to the first post-remission event (relapse, death, or next therapy) was 56 days.
The drug's safety was evaluated in two single-arm trials that included 83 patients whose leukemia had relapsed at least twice. Serious adverse events, such as low white blood cell counts with fever, low blood pressure, respiratory distress, and cardiac arrest, occurred in 76 percent of the patients studied. The most common side effects included constipation, nausea, low blood cell counts, fever, nerve damage, fatigue, diarrhea, decreased appetite, and insomnia.
A warning that the drug must be administered intravenously because it is deadly if given in other ways, such as into the spinal fluid, will be included in the prescribing information. The warning also states that the dosage recommendations for vincristine sulfate liposome and vincristine sulfate are different. To avoid overdosing, health care professionals must verify the drug name and the dose before administration.
The drug was approved under the accelerated approval program, which allows the FDA to approve a drug based on clinical data showing that it is reasonably likely to provide a clinical benefit to patients. The manufacturer must conduct more clinical studies to confirm the drug's benefit and safety. Vincristine sulfate liposome also received orphan-product designation because it is intended to treat a rare disease.

Pilates: A New Referral Consideration?
- Kathleen Satterfield DPM FACFAOM
- 2833 reads
- 2 comments
Lately, I have heard about Pilates quite a bit and have noticed that it is even drawing attention on the National Institute of Health's PubMed with several dozen references within the past couple of years.
It has gone from being an unusual offering at strip malls to being featured in leading medical journals. This is quite a leap in a very short period of time. That march forward is being led by some of the leaders in our own profession. One of those at the forefront is Sheryl Strich, DPM, who is the President of the American Association for Women Podiatrists.
She moved from a southern California podiatric practice to a path toward certification in Pilates. Dr. Strich plans to concentrate on the elderly population. In addition, she plans to further specialize by combining Pilates and podiatric techniques.
"I am very concerned about how people lose their fluid gait as they age," says Dr. Strich. "I feel it is because they have been walking incorrectly over the years. However, this can be improved through Pilates and orthotics. My plan is to combine the teachings of Pilates with podiatric biomechanical examinations and dispensing of orthotics.
"By combining gait and postural analysis with Pilates exercises (to help) prevent injury and encourage a healthy lifestyle, I feel the aging generation will definitely benefit."
Dr. Strich says Pilates can be practiced by a variety of people ranging from young athletes to the elderly. She emphasizes that the practice of postural awareness, centering, concentration, control, precision and breathing inherent to Pilates can enhance movement and flexibility.
"With increased flexibility and strength, the result is a better quality of life," explains Dr. Strich.
We are all going into old age, raging against the system, not wanting the predictable arthritic outcomes that our parents faced. Dr. Strich feels the same way about her clients.
"Pilates is very important for the baby boomer generation. As people age, joint movement decreases. With people living longer, there is a real need to maintain flexibility and movement. This makes a real difference in terms of quality of life.
"Pilates is a system of physical and mental conditioning developed by Joseph Pilates," explains Dr. Strich about the man who developed the system, which was originally designed to rehabilitate ballet dancers. "He felt that achieving good health meant that the whole being – body, mind and spirit – needed to be addressed. Exercises are designed to condition the entire body.
In addition to the benefits of improved strength and flexibility, Dr. Strich says Pilates can facilitate relief of back and joint pain, a sleeker look, improvements in energy, endurance and sexual enjoyment, prevention of osteoporosis, and enhanced sleep.
Dr. Strich lives the life that she preaches. She is tall, lithe and graceful. She also advises her friends on poor posture and its outcomes, and offers gentle correction.
Pilates may indeed prove to be a natural outgrowth of podiatric medicine and a treatment that will prove beneficial for our aging patients.
At last a fellow podiatrist who is interested in pilates and it's over all affect on the body especially in the support of the lower limb. I'd really be interested to hear how you are finding the biomechanics mixed with pilates, I've bored several colleagues with my belief that pilates can help with lower limb issues but so far not found any evidence. May be you can send me further information? firstname.lastname@example.com
Kind regards
Pilates is about strengthening and stretching. It strengthens and tones muscles, improves postures,and encourages flexibility.
With that in mind, the following is a description of the ideal body position when the knees are flexed in gait
Lumbar spine - hyperextended
Sacrum - nutated
Iscial tuberosities - widen
Gluteus Maximus (inferior fibers) lengthen
External rotators - shorten to stabilize sacrum
Rectus Abdominis - lengthens (vertically)
Femur (at the knee) - externally rotates
Hamstrings - shorten
Tibia (at the knee) internally rotates - gastrocnemius lengthens
Ankle - dorsiflexed
Talo Navicular - Anterior tibial shortens - stopping the complete collapse of the medial arch
Talo Calcaneus - Posterior tibial lengthens - allowing the heel to reach for the floor
Plantar fascia - stretches
Intrinsics - lengthen
Knee extension is the reverse of the above.
By maintaining correct body posture, stengthening and stretching and using the correct muscles for the appropriate actions, Pilates works to allow the above actions to occur properly. There are so many moving parts to the action of flexing the knee, that if one action is off, it will create a chain effect of deformity.

I find it odd that the Associated Press, and, by association, the Globe assume a peculiarly Christian-style motivation (i.e., evangelism) for the atheists in the short news item "Christmas display fight goes to court" (Daily Briefing, Page A2, Nov. 19).
Atheists set up signs, including the Thomas Jefferson quotation "Religions are all alike —–founded on fables and mythologies," next to a 14-scene Christian diorama on public land. And the AP reporter characterized the members of this group as "eager to get their non-beliefs into the public square as never before."

Enhancing the Postdoctoral Experience
The growing population of postdoctoral scholars needs better working conditions, compensation, and benefits.
In recent years, this nation's science and engineering research has come to depend increasingly on the work of postdoctoral scholars, or postdocs: junior researchers who have a Ph.D. and are pursuing further training in research. It is largely these postdocs who carry out the sometimes exhilarating, sometimes tedious, day-to-day work of research. Many of them will go on to uncover fundamental new knowledge, chair prestigious academic departments, and form the fast-growing technology companies that power our economy. It is largely they who account for the extraordinary productivity of science and engineering research in the United States.
And yet the postdoctoral experience is not all it should be. The National Academies of Science and Engineering and the Institute of Medicine's Committee on Science, Engineering, and Public Policy (COSEPUP), which I chair, has recently studied the subject, and in September 2000 we issued a guide entitled Enhancing the Postdoctoral Experience for Scientists and Engineers (National Academy Press, 2000). During its study, the committee heard from many postdocs who have had stimulating, well-supervised, and productive research experiences. But it also heard from postdocs who have been neglected, underpaid, and even exploited; who have been poorly matched with their research settings; and who have found little opportunity to grow toward independence or to benefit from the guidance of a mentor.
At some institutions, notably universities, the definition of postdoc is vague and can vary considerably. Most postdocs and their appointments, however, have the following qualities: The appointee has received a Ph.D. or doctorate equivalent; the appointment is viewed as occupying a training or transitional period preparatory to a long-term academic, industrial, government, or other full-time research career; the appointment involves full-time research or scholarship; and the appointment is temporary.
The population of postdocs has roughly doubled in the past 20 years to an estimated 52,000. About three-fourths of them work in the life sciences, where postdoctoral experience is virtually required for most advanced positions, whether in industry, government, or universities.
Most postdoctoral appointments are in university settings, where postdocs' status is most likely to be uncertain. Although postdocs in industry and government laboratories tend to fit smoothly into preexisting categories, those in universities are often neither faculty, staff, nor students. Consequently, there is often no clearly defined administrative responsibility for ensuring their fair compensation, benefits, or job security. Postdocs often receive no explicit statement of the terms or duration of their appointments and have no place to go to determine appropriate expectations or to redress grievances. Commonly, the sole person to whom they can turn is the researcher who hired them and on whom they depend in their current positions and for assistance and support in moving on to independent careers.
The committee learned of other unfortunate outcomes of the rapid growth of the postdoc population under these irregular conditions. The annual compensation for first-year postdocs can vary by tens of thousands of dollars, depending on field and type of institution, even when the levels of talent, responsibility, and output are virtually the same. At the lower end of the range, which is typical of the life sciences and some of the physical sciences in academe, pay is embarrassingly inadequate, especially for those with families, and is not comparable with that received by other professionals at analogous career stages. There is no standard health benefit package for postdocs; in fact, many receive no health benefits for their families, and some have no health coverage for themselves.
The information gap
In our investigation we found surprisingly few data on the postdoctoral experience; to those we found we added information of our own, gathered through workshops, a nationwide survey, and some three dozen focus groups. Here are some common questions about the postdoctoral experience, and the answers we found:
How long does a postdoctoral appointment last? The median term for all postdocs is about 2.5 years, but terms vary widely by field. In engineering, a year is usually enough; in the life sciences, the median stay for postdocs is 3.5 years, but many stay for 5 years or more. Terms for physical scientists are usually 2 years (chemistry) or 3 years (physics), but some physical scientists remain postdocs for 6 years, and a few remain indefinitely in an undefined postdoctoral category.
Today's postdoctoral experience has many marvelous aspects, and these must continue. But it also has elements that are not working well, and these should be improved. COSEPUP hopes that this new guide will help to maintain the vigor, excitement, and leadership of the U.S. research community while ensuring maximum opportunity for all.
Maxine Singer, the president of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, is chair of COSEPUP.

TOMAHAWK, Wis. (WSAU) - Rev up those Hogs and make the run to Tomahawk today for the Fall Ride.
It's the 32nd Annual Ride, and the event takes over the Northwoods for a weekend. Tamra Anderson with the Tomahawk Chamber of Commerce says the origins of the Ride are a little hazy. "I haven't been here long enough to know exactly how it started, but I do know that everyone works together to try and put on a great event."
Anderson says the big events kick off tonight. "The Thunder Parade starts off at Tomahawk High School, lineup starts at 5pm and the Parade starts at 6. That goes on a long run throughout the community and ends downtown."
The event can bring in 35,000 to 50,000 to the area each year and is the largest fundraiser for MDA in northern Wisconsin.
You can find a full list of events online .
