Jonathan Jones, who is considered "Georgia's fastest football recruit," recently picked up an offer from reigning BCS champion Auburn and visited Georgia Tech earlier this week.
The 5-foot-10 1/2 cornerback from Carrollton High School is a track star who led his team to a state championship last month and is a candidate for the Junior Olympics in the hurdles. Jones, who has a 3.7 GPA, prefers a future in football and is a three-year starter for one of Georgia's top high school programs. He has around a dozen early scholarship offers and will begin to narrow down after visiting both Tennessee and Florida State next month.
"In my 26 years, I don't think I've ever had a corner as good as Jonathan — that has that tenacity with hitting and tackling and that kind of speed," Carrollton coach Rayvan Teague told the AJC. "I've had guys who had more picks but not a kid that is the total package like Jonathan. The sky is the limit for him. He's a great kid and a great competitor. There's no doubt he's a Div. I corner because of his speed and hips. But he hits like a Div. I safety, which makes him kind of special."
Jones auditioned for an offer at Auburn camp earlier this month and earned one — after blowing away the coaches with his speed and football smarts. "Ted Roof, the defensive coordinator, said one of the things they do at camp is sit down and go over strategy and schemes. He was amazed with how quickly Jonathan picked up everything so quickly."
The next trips for the speedster will be Tennessee on July 18, and Florida State on July 19.
"I don't really have any leaders right now," Jones told the AJC. "But once I visit Tennessee and Florida State, and see if they offer me or not, then I will have a better idea about everything. As far as my current offers, I'm really liking Auburn, Mississippi State and Georgia Tech."
Georgia Tech covets Jones and was one of his first offers. He toured the campus on Monday. "It went really well," Jones said. "I got to hang out with the coaches and look around. I like how Georgia Tech is not rushing me. They told me they would stick with me until the end. They know I want to check out all my options before I make my decision, and they respect that."
What about UGA? Said Teague: "My understanding is that the defensive coordinator, being a pro guy, wants bigger corners, the 6-1 and 6-2 guys. Jonathan is too short for them at 5-10 1/2. They just don't think he's tall enough. That was their deal."
Georgia's top-rated defensive backs in the recruiting rankings are St. Pius' Geno Smith (Alabama and Auburn are co-leaders) and Creekside's Josh Holsey (committed to Auburn). Jones, who has missed numerous college camps and prospect combines in recent months due to his track obligations, is also emerging as a national prospect at the position. Said Teague, "I think Geno is a little bit taller and has great ball skills. I think Jonathan is faster and Jonathan hits harder."
One thing that is not debatable is the blistering speed of Jones. Last month, he finished first in the 110-meter hurdles (14.02 seconds) and 300-meter hurdles (37.39) and won the Class AAA all-points trophy, while leading Carrollton to its second team championship in a row. This summer, Jones is touring the country for track, including meets in California and North Carolina. He registered a personal record of 13.72 in the 110 at the New Balance Outdoor Invitational.
Jones could go to about any college for track but prefers football.
"It's just what I grew up doing," Jones explained. "I started playing football at the age of four. It's something I just love to do. With track, people saw that I was fast and said 'go run track.' But football is in my heart."
Last year as a junior, Jones helped Carrollton's football team reach the Class AAA state championship, where it was edged out by Sandy Creek 14-7. Some of his other offers are from Stanford, Kentucky, Boston College, Texas Tech, Vanderbilt and Wisconsin. Asked if there was any other school that isn't recruiting him that he wished would, Jones replied, "LSU."
What do I think? There's a lot to like about Jonathan Jones. His speed is well-documented. The video below is his newest, and there are plays on there against very good competition where JJ makes it look like everybody else is in slow motion. Toward the middle of the tape, you can see what his coach means by saying that Jones will be a D1 DB but hits like a D1 safety, although other video of Jones shows it better. He's definitely not afraid to hit. This is not football, but I like how at the state track meet he was in the spotlight and had a ton of pressure on him to perform well; he met or exceeded all expectations there, and has continued to have success on the regional/national level this summer. I like how he carries himself, not some rah-rah "hey-look-at-me" but rather an unassuming and humble kid. I absolutely love his academic achievements (Stanford offer) and character (recently named permanent team captain in HS). I like his size. If I'm a college football coach, I like that Jones can put it on cruise control to just about anywhere on a track scholarship, yet hungers to play football. And I just keep going back to that speed, speed, speed — you can't coach it. In my opinion, I think Jonathan Jones is most certainly one of the top overall college prospects in the state of Georgia. I think his coach said it best with "total package." I think he already has some great offers — and that he is about to get more.

Coach Todd Grantham ESCAPED the NFL before he was fired. His college specialty is giving the choke sign to kickers like any other ADULT would behave. He wants 6′2″ corners and don't we all. But the NFL is full of Pro Bowl CBs 5′11″ and shorter. If you can play, you can play. Coach Grantham invented the wheel and is simply smarter than the rest of us.
June 30th, 2011
5:51 am
if i am reading this correctly the top 3 corners in georgia will each go west to cross the state line and play for fine institutions in alabama. yes i know smith is a secret commit to saban but we've got holsey and jones will commit to us in july.
ps any dawgs fans going on that cruise ship with richt to honduras next summer? it's obvious that your own coaches aren't recruiting your own state. war eagle!
June 30th, 2011
5:57 am
@National Champs (of cheating), I think Georgia's recruiting is going fine for now. I do hope that Coach Grantham isn't recruiting only combine superheroes like Marlon Brown and knows if a recruit can actually play the game.

Jonathan its apparent that you havent really looked at all your options thorougly enough to know that Auburn will eventually go on Probation and not be on T.V. or go to any Bowls, Alabama will use you sparringly until youre a Junior possibly.
Did Auburn offer you more than a scholarship? Fast is great and quickness can help you to overcome mistakes on the field. But the "Thugs" at Auburn will start eventually ending up in jail and maybe thats what you like about going there. The Thug mentality, the Ganster lifestyle.
But nobody can tell you anything, youre being treated like a god on campus and its ballooned your head and you havent come off that cloud yet. But when you do come down youre gonna realize you made a huge mistake going to the state of alabama and all you were good for was helping either alabama or auburn rankings on recruiting.
Youre much more appreciated in your home state of georgia. Shouldve thought bout going to georgia more, prettier campus, great fans, good environment, and its your home state.
When a kid leaves his home state, to me its like being a traitor. I love Georgia so much that i'd never even move to get another job and all my kids have went to college in this state. I just feel that going to another state helps the state youre going to and it's like spitting on the Georgia Flag when youre leaving.
I was so proud to be from georgia that when i joined the Marine Corps i wanted to be 1st in everything and proclaim to everybody i was a Georgia Kid.
I was in the top 5 in everything i did while in service, it was like me from Georgia against all the other states and i wanted everyone to know that kids from Georgia was exceptional. Somehow going to another college out of state is very bitter to me, its like youve gone on trhe otherside to beat us.
Sounds weird but thats because i have a higher loyalty to my state and i guess kids dont look at things the way i do now.
June 30th, 2011
6:23 am
Loyalty? RMike how do you expect Georgia recruits to be loyal to this state if Georgia isn't recruiting them? Or they wait until someone like Dillon Lee has 25 offers and Georgia is number 25 and his older brother plays football for Georgia? Or be the last of 20 for Josh Holsey? So the Georgia recruits should just go ahead and all commit to Georgia without offers and then hope somebody in the football recruiting office wakes up before February?
June 30th, 2011
6:25 am
UGA only want DB 6 feet or taller. Doesn't make sense. DBs that size and can maintain the agility is really rare (the only good one I can think of is Charles Woodson) which is why they are moved to safety. Most DBs are 5-8 to 5-10. There D will suffer with thinking like that.
We will gladly take him on the flats
Go Jackets!!!
June 30th, 2011
6:26 am
Seriously. People have time to write this stuff. Mike, thugs make good football players & that's at every fine institution across these great united states. Don't get mad bc Chizic gets his thugs ready to play better than Richt can. WDE!

In related news, while the rest of the SEC is recruiting …
Richt is trying to save the world and considering pawning off one of his Ford trucks
Bryan McClendon is hiding from TMZ so he won't have to admit he made all that up about "being offered a job at another school" to convince the dummies in AD office to double the salary of the worst RB coach in college football history

Jonathan is a former teammate of Broderick Snoddy, the incoming Freshman speedster at GA Tech. They ran track and played football together at Carollton High. This isn't to say the Yellow Jackets have the inside track at landing Jonathan, but it couldn't hurt.

Uga fans upset again get over it. When will u realize uga, will not get every recruit in ga.
June 30th, 2011
7:03 am
I agree that UGA should look at this kid despite his less than "ideal" size. Could be something a little more than his size though that's keeping an offer from being on the table, but who knows. As for GT getting him, sorry but CPJ can't close in on recruits when he's competing against the Bamas, Auburns, (insert any other legitimate program here). Tech fans love to use the term "his players" when defending CPJ's recruiting, but the facts are that GT is winning recruiting wars with Tulsa, Tulane, Western Alabama, Valdosta State, etc. Go dawgs!

7:12 am
Every UGA Fan just needs to be a bit more patient. Either CMR and his coaching staff will swim with the tide or sink and drown horribly. The worse case scenario here is: Does he keep his job going 9-3 or 10-2, maybe a lucky 11-1, then back to 9-3 and 8-4 here or there. My point being: the second most lucrative athletics department being stuck with a "good, moral man" without ever winning a National Title. Nothing is worse than being stuck in neutral. Unless Mcgarity starts showing some "impatience", I think we will be stuck in neutral just like the past decade. However, after the CMR era is over, a better, more intense coach WILL take this job and we won't have to settle for gambles(Chizik), castoofs( Roof), bagmen (TTaylor and Rocker), or one year wonders (Newton). No, I will not diss Newton. He took money just like Tebow, Brantley, and all the rest of the elite prospects.

Hey !! I mean Awlbarn had 1 year with $cam Newton and " Late Hit " Fairley… probation is next !!!
June 30th, 2011
7:31 am
Could be more than we know? Don't start the conspiracy crap about the young man. CTG very well could have told the young man that. That is the more likely scenario. Do I agree? Of course not, Tim Jennings was a damn good CB and he was 5′8. Give me a ball hawking corner and he could be 5′2. I think UGA better have some damn good CB's this Fall or this 6′0 and over concept is going to look likes fools gold to many UGA fans.
June 30th, 2011

UGA does not have alot of scholarships to give this year… Richt is honest with the kids..
June 30th, 2011

MAN, I hope we get this guy…Go Jackets!
June 30th, 2011
7:35 am
Hilarious, slydog. Why? Because the ORIGINAL "bag man" is the recruiting coordinator for your beloved school, one Mr. Rodney Garner.
Get over yourself. Oh, and kiss the ring.
June 30th, 2011
7:38 am
I bet he will end up at Tech. A 3.7 GPA and Tech are a natural fit.
June 30th, 2011
7:45 am
dawgfan – you better check you facts before you start making (sic) comments you can't support. The Yellow Jackets have already gotten commitments this season from guys who have been offered by UGA and Florida. Just because they get some players your team may not be focusing on doesn't mean they aren't good fits for GA Tech and exactly the kind of guys wanted/needed for the Yellow Jacket program.
I might conclude this comment by saying that I would take a three star player with heart, intelligence, leadership, and the desire to be a team player over any four or five star player coming into a program with an attitude, thinking they are better than everybody else, no discipline, not willing to work hard, not "intelligent," and not a team player.
If strength was all it took to break something, then only big, burly, men would be trying to break those cinder blocks instead of these "smaller" martial artists who have mastered "techniques" who can not only break the blocks as well, but can sometimes do so more easily.
If brute strength was all it took to be a good fighter, then the "art" of boxing wouldn't be as important to succeed in beating a larger opponent.
Give Paul Johnson those three star players and Mark Richt those four and five star players and I would like GA Tech's chances every game.
June 30th, 2011
7:47 am
Did you just say Tebow and John Brantley (3rd player legacy) took money? Why did you name UF QB's? What a pathetic UGA fan.
June 30th, 2011
7:54 am
BTW: LOL at UGA being raided by anyone and everyone that wants top players in their state. Also, lol at giving your RB coach a raise. He won't develop Crowell, just like he didn't Easley, Samuals, King, etc.. And lets not even speak of your pathetic and weak OL. Atleast you guys stole the mediocre guy from UAB to coach them up and save Richt's job. He and Bobo should work their magic this year, while Richt is off on his "mission."

There has to be more to the no offer from Georgia than his height. The young man has one of the key basic ingredients every coach wants to sign – SPEED, and the GPA is a bonus. Not ideal size? Seems to me exceptional speed overcomes that.
June 30th, 2011
8:08 am
Thank you CTG, keeping looking for mold players-we'll take players like Jonathan all day long. Jonathan, you are a smart guy. Take your time, look around and I'm sure you will come to the realization that Tech will be the place for you. Don't underestimate the value of the degree and a Tech degree will keep paying for your entire life. Congratulations on your success thus far. Looking forward to seeing you on the Old Gold and White.
June 30th, 2011
8:10 am
Auburn fan posting at 7:35 that UGA has a pay plan for players is rich………Here's a bet, you tube " Pat Dye/Ramsey money and then youtube ANYTHING Georgia paying football players and see what comes up. Bottom line, Auburn…and Bama have been caught and punished for this, more than once.. Give me a link for Georgia doing the same please. I'll wait.
June 30th, 2011
8:12 am
It's Georgia's DB coach, Scott Lakatos, that wants the taller corners, not Grantham.
June 30th, 2011
8:14 am
Yea Jonathan, talk to all the ex Tech football players working at Air Tran in baggage handling? What Firm is Reggie Ball with?
June 30th, 2011
8:15 am
The maority of these kids going for scholarships have the NFL in their mind already and therefore are going to go with the school in the lime light in a lot of cases. This will put TECH. at a disadvantage right from the start. If UGA were recruiting him they would also be at a disavantage.
For those of you critisizing the the defensive coach at UGA. If you can do better, apply for the job. Same goes for CMR. I guess it is just easier to make rude comments about coaches, kids and universities from behind a computer keyboard, but since you are no more qalified to coach at a major school than I would be, it is just so much B.S. The games will be played on the field and your omments and most likely your loyalties will change with the flow.
Good or bad, I will stick with my home team, and if changes need to be made, I will leave it up to the AD and his staff to make the right decisions. I can't do their job any better there than you can.
June 30th, 2011
8:15 am
Jonathan you are the type of person who will fit well at Tech. After your pro career a degree from Tech will be invaluable. Hope to be able to come watch you play. Best of luck to you

Rocket Science,
Well heaven for bid some of us would have a opinion on the situation. If you do not like the opinions expressed on a blog, which encourages opinions to be shared, both positive and negative, then go somewhere else. I do not think your holier than thou approach will work to much here.
June 30th, 2011
8:32 am
@JB (8:10 AM) all I need to know is that when Garner was at Auburn, all the UGA fans referred to him as "The Bagman". When Garner was at Tennessee, all the UGA fans referred to him as "The Bagman". But when Garner starts working for UGA? PRAISE THE LORD! HE'S BEEN SAVED! HE'S NO LONGER "THE BAGMAN"! You pups and your utter hypocrisy are an endless source of amusement.
Oh, and I am also from Columbus GA, the hometown of one Mr. Don Leebern. The same Don Leebern who never earned a college degree but sits as a proud and distinguished member of the University of Georgia System Board of Regents. The same Don Leebern who, back in the day, provided "summer jobs" to UGA football players. They'd arrive in Columbus on a bus and leave Columbus in a nice, shiny new Chevrolet Camaro or Pontiac Firebird. Nice "work" for a summer if you can get it… and you could ALWAYS get it as a UGA football player back in the day, brother.
Oh, but I'm sure that you have NO DOUBT that Garner and Leebern have changed their ol' cheatin' ways, right? Hilarious how pathetically naive you are.
Oh, and one more time… kiss the ring. Have a nice day.

June 30th, 2011

UGA signed a boatload of DBs and "athletes" last year. I think UGA's focus this year should be on linemen. Maybe take 1 or 2 DBs.
June 30th, 2011
8:41 am
From 8;32 Auburn post….. I would not be naive enough to think that there have never been any wrong doings at UGA when it comes to football…………But, all you say is "talk" and not documented with the NCAA and certainly with the picture you have painted would have been discovered………..Now, you rant about cars for players At UGA is nothing but a misdirection from you to move the spot light away from your beloved tigers, who have a DOCUMENTED history of CAUGHT trouble with the NCAA. Prove one thing you wrote and we'll listen. And you can't. Good ole boy here say and dribble.
June 30th, 2011

One more comment on Auburn. I will tip my hat that the players did win it on the field. It was impressive.
June 30th, 2011
8:46 am
This is why Richt is on the same path as Fulmer. I'd like to take this opportunity to welcome Jonathan to Knoxville, TN. Speed kills, and you can take the same path to the NFL Eric Berry did. Play corner as a freshman and as your body matures, move to FS.
June 30th, 2011
8:48 am
"Prove one thing and we'll listen"..I think thats been our (AU) phrase during the whole Cam saga….thought that was kinda funny..
PS these debates wont solve anything…sometimes I wish people would focus on 2011 and leave 2010 in the past..unless things come up mind you..
65 days until start of the season and we are talking about 2010 drama that no new evidence has shown its face…
PSS AU will get bunch of good recruits b/c of the title..it happens at every school each year…AU's 2012 class is going to be legit!

La Biennale di Venezia will provide ticket holders a free guided tour, available in Italian and English, starting from the Infopoint at the Arsenale at 6 p.m.
For the occasion, during all the days covered by the initiative bar services and bookshop will also be extended.

Hypospadias is a birth (congenital) defect in which the opening of the urethra is on the underside, rather than at the end, of the penis.
See also: Epispadias
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Hypospadias affects up to 4 in 1,000 newborn boys.
Some cases are passed down through families. In other cases the cause is unknown.
The condition varies in severity. In most cases, the opening of the urethra is located near the tip of the penis on the underside. More severe forms of hypospadias occur when the opening is at the midshaft or base of the penis. Occasionally, the opening is located in or behind the scrotum.
Males with this condition often have a downward curve (ventral curvature or chordee) of the penis during an erection. (Erections are common with infant boys.)
Other symptoms include:
- Abnormal spraying of urine
- Having to sit down to urinate
- Malformed foreskin that makes the penis look "hooded"
Signs and tests
A physical examination can diagnose this condition. Imaging tests may be needed to look for other congenital defects.
Infants with hypospadias should not be circumcised. The foreskin should be preserved for use in later surgical repair.
Surgery is usually done before the child starts school. Today, most urologists recommend repair before the child is 18 months old. Surgery can be done as young as 4 months old. During the surgery, the penis is straightened and the hypospadias is corrected using tissue grafts from the foreskin. The repair may require multiple surgeries.
Expectations (prognosis)
Results after surgery are typically good. In some cases, more surgery is needed to correct fistulas or a return of the abnormal penis curve.
If hypospadias is untreated, a boy may have difficulty with toilet training and problems with sexual intercourse in adulthood. Urethral strictures and fistulas may form throughout the boy's life, requiring surgery.
Calling your health care provider
Typically a child is diagnosed with hypospadias shortly after birth. Call your health care provider if you notice that your son's urethral opening is abnormally located or that his penis becomes curved during erection.

6 News Anchor
MEMPHIS (WATE) - Thousands of people worldwide are "Rootin' for Regen."
The family of 12-year-old Regen Morris, of Sevier County, is hoping each person who sees his "Rootin' for Regen" Facebook page will take a moment and pray for a miracle.
Regen is battling a rare form of brain cancer called anaplastic astrocytoma.
6 News sat down with Regen's parents, Dan and Tishia Morris, at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, where their son has just started treatment.
Dan says Regen, the couple's youngest of three sons, has always been athletic, and was named most valuable player last year by his basketball team at Pi Beta Phi Elementary School in Gatlinburg.
So they knew something was wrong when he started having physical symptoms a few weeks before Thanksgiving.
"He had started basketball season and his coach asked me, was something wrong, because he noticed that he was really just very slow-moving, not really active," Dan Morris said. "We asked him and he said that his legs just felt strange. They felt weird."
Regen was admitted to East Tennessee Children's Hospital for tests, then transferred to a rehab facility in Atlanta, where an MRI revealed the rapidly-growing malignant tumors in his brain.
He was brought to St. Jude just after New Year's Day and thanks to regular updates on Facebook from family and friends, not only are thousands of people posting their thoughts and prayers, they've mailed hundreds upon hundreds of cards and letters to the hospital.
"He broke the St. Jude mailroom record with the volume of materials, packages," Dan said.
"We had all of the mail one day, except for one letter that got mixed up in our mail. We read every single one of them to him so he gets to see them and we hang some of them up in the room, but there's only so much wall space," Regen's mother Tishia said.
Regen knows where he is and some of what is going on.
"He's aware. He does know that he has a tumor in his brain and that we've come here so that he can get the kind of medication he needs to make it go away," Tishia said. "We don't want to scare him anymore than he is scared."
Regen is no longer speaking right now, but he still communicates through a brilliant smile.
"He smiles when the answer is yes," Tishia says, "and he doesn't smile when the answer is no."
Regen also flashes a big smile when he gets a visitor, especially his girlfriend, Kennedy, whose mother brought her to Memphis to see Regen.
Everywhere the family turns, there is someone willing to share support. The Morris family is depending on that, and faith, for strength.
"We don't understand why things happen," Dan said,"but we firmly believe that we've been put in this situation by God to touch lives. It's having an impact and we are just choosing to let God work through us and work through Regen."
To support Regen, check out his Facebook page Rootin' for Regen.
There are many fundraisers going on to help with his past medical costs. The latest is at any branch of Citizens Bank.

WELLINGTON, New Zealand — There are smoke-free bars, smoke-free parks, even smoke-free college campuses. But a smoke-free country?
New Zealand's government on Thursday squeezed smokers more than ever by announcing a 40 percent hike in tobacco taxes over the next four years. Prices there are already among the highest in the world, and by 2016 they will top 20 New Zealand dollars ($15) a pack on average.
Officials hope higher taxes and new restrictions will bring the nation of 4.4 million closer to a recent pledge to snuff out the habit entirely by 2025. Other countries have lauded the idea of trying to wean their populace off tobacco, but few have put a date on it.
Smokers aren't happy about the taxes. One says low-income people might commit crimes to support their habit.

Caffeine has been shown to improve concentration, reduce fatigue, boost muscular power, and enhance alertness. All of which sound appealing to any athlete.
Something else to consider is that it takes nearly 2x's as much Red Bull and nearly 3x's as much tea to equal the caffeine in coffee.
Here's the kicker…the more you drink coffee the less noticeable these characteristics could become. So if your an athlete you'll benefit more by eliminating any casual coffee drinking & instead drink it an hour or so before workouts or race.
#health Downing water during heavy exercise is counterintuitive. Once digestion slows or stops water isn't dealt with efficiently potentially leading to dehydration while having a stomach full of water
A very interesting & informative take on the gamble we take on Health Insurance.
"dropping risk factors of a Heart Attack such as cholesterol, blood pressure, weight, age, smoking reduced my odds from 1 in 5 to less than 1 in 100"
"That's a bad bet. It's not a good idea to bet on something that has less than 1% chance of happening, especially to bet thousands of dollars on it. You can bet a few dollars on the lottery that you're willing to throw away, but why would you throw away thousands of dollars on this low-odds bet?"
The Lyon Heart Study compared the effects of a modified Crete (Mediterranean style) diet with those of a Step 1 American Heart Association diet.
The study showed a decrease in death rate by 70% in the experimental group and clearly showed that a modified Crete diet low in butter and meats such as deli products but high in fish and fruits and vegetables and enriched with Omega-3 fatty acids is more efficient than the American Heart Association or similar diets in the secondary prevention of coronary events and total deaths.
Babies usually begin eating foods containing gluten around 6 months of age, so those born in the warmer months would initially be exposed to gluten in the winter, when infections like cold and flu are common. Could early exposure to viral infections play a role in the autoimmune response to gluten?
DHA is one of the 2 important products of Fish Oil. The main goal of taking a Fish Oil or an Omega-3 supplement is to have your body break down the supplement into 2 products. One is EPA and the other is DHA.
DHA is popular now because it is being involved in many studies. These studies are exciting because they are linking higher levels of DHA and better brain function. One study actually shows that young students taking a DHA supplement scored higher on tests than their non-DHA taking classmates.
Like EPA, DHA is a fat that is believed to be very closely linked to making up and lining brain cells. DHA is a healthy fat so in turn you get healthy brain cells & healthy function.
It's highly recommended for pregnant women to take a DHA supplement along with their Folic Acid supplement. While pregnant my wife feels that her dedication to taking her supplements, particularly DHA, is one of the most important factors while our babies' cells are multiplying at an exponentially fast rate.
Low back pain flare-ups are a very common occurrence. In a single day we could bend or twist at the waist with poor mechanics roughly 20-30 times. This repetition puts the low back musculature in a compromising exhausted state and makes it vulnerable to low back strains & sprains leading to pain and injury.
Over time the improper mechanics will form scar tissue in the soft tissue at the injury site. This micro-scar tissue forms very similarly to scars on your skin. It's formed quickly and scrabbled. This "quick patch" job lacks a good blood supply making it very difficult to become what it was pre-injury.
The initial injury puts the individual at risk for more flare-ups down the road. Each future instance worsens the soft tissue integrity, will take longer to recover, and shorten the time periods between flare-ups.
Here are some tips to keep in mind that will help reduce your chances of flare-ups.
1) Limit bending and twisting at the waist while holding on to heavy loads - The low back spinal bones and muscles are designed to stabilize the entire upper body while lowering you with your legs to pick items up that are on the ground. They are not made for bending at the waist, if they were 80% of the population would not be suffering from back pain.
2) Stabilize your core to assist the low back in limiting its forward flexion - Notice I wrote "stabilize" instead of strengthen. The core is designed to stabilize or hold you in certain positions. The muscles are poorly designed for lengthening and shortening, most commonly seen on the "weighted twisting abdominal machine" at most gyms. This machine is a disc injury in the making.
3) Stick out the glutes when bending at the knees - You always hear bend with the knees will save your back. But what do you do about saving your knees. When bending at the knees if your knees pass over your toes you are adding increased stress on the knee joints themselves. Consequently performing this motion will come hand in hand with a straight low back which isn't ideal either. Sticking your butt out will put the natural lordotic curve into the low back spine that we want, protecting it. This motion will also limit the motion of the knees going past your toes decreasing abnormal knee stress.
4) Ice the area prone to injury when in pain, or without pain after an exhausting day at work or the gym - Inflammation causes pain. Working out musculature patched together with scar tissue and overusing it at work will produce inflammation also. Inflammation is designed to heal injured tissue but once it does it needs assistance getting out of the affected area. Ice will pump blood and inflammation out of the area allowing the healing process to continue.
5) Avoid applying heat after long days - Most people will put heat on areas where ice should be applied. Heat relaxes the muscles and quite honestly feels better. The downside is heat dilates the blood vessels allowing for an over saturation of inflammation leading to a slower healing process and potential chronic pain.
6) Never stretch on cold muscles - One of the most common mistakes made is stretching when you wake up. Stretching before muscles warm up and fill with blood will lead to further micro-tears at the connections between scar tissue and muscle tissue. The idea behind stretching is to lengthen the micro-tears within muscles. This draws blood to them helping in the healing and replacing of stronger muscle tissue. Stretching cold will lengthen the muscle tissue around scar tissue limiting the effectiveness of stretching.
7) Do morning stretches after a warm shower - If you understand the ideas behind 4 & 5 then this will make perfect sense. A warm shower will dilate the blood vessels making your muscles more plyable to stretch and increases the inflammatory process (remember that it also heals injured tissue) allowing you to specifically target scar tissue filled areas.
My last post explained the benefits of eating grass fed meats & the effects on overall health and function of your body. It's more important than people think at first glance and changing your habits can help manage a wide range of issues including trouble sleeping, irritability, gastrointestinal issues, allergies (even seasonal), chronic or acute pain, asthma, food sensitivities, & even inflammatory diseases just to name a few. If you haven't switched yet or you are thinking of one of the many excuses I hear on a daily basis then these tips will help you make the right decisions at the market & may make you finally take this easy step toward better health.
1) Organic meat is not Grass Fed meat - In most cases organic meat and grass fed are not the same. Grass fed animals are fed a strict green leafy vegetable diet like they would in the wild.
2) Grass fed meat tastes better - It may be difficult to believe but grass fed meat tastes better. It's lighter and tastes cleaner. You'll usually feel satisfied after meals rather than full. Making you feel as if you ate the perfect portion size.
3) The digestive system is built to break it down - Without any artificial products your digestive system will be more efficient at breaking it down. This will allow for the extraction of all the essential nutrients with the least amount of work by the digestive system.
4) Less tired after meals - Since the digestive system is more efficient at breaking down grass fed meat it won't affect your activity level as much as eating grain fed. Digestion favors the parasympathetic nervous system and with large, grain loaded meat, meals overpower the sympathetic nervous system and limits your activity level. A more efficient process allows for a steady balance between the two.
5) It's becoming more easily accessible - People are more health conscious now more than ever, and because of this most local grocers are carrying grass fed meat. These meats are usually kept in a separate area and if you can't find them, ask. Over the past 5 years I have yet to find a grocer without them.
6) Quality over quantity - Typically pricing for grass fed meat is more expensive per pound than the grain fed. The price is worth it because the quality is better meaning you can get smaller portions and still be satisfied. Grain fed are usually in portion sizes that are too large leading to over eating a gaining weight.
7) Find a local butcher - Most local butchers have great grass fed meats and favorable prices. Not only are you getting top quality fresh products but your helping out your community.
8) Grass fed meat has less fat per pound - Not only is grass fed meat composed of mostly healthy fats, but the fat content is much lower per pound in grass fed than grain fed.
At the bottom of the spinal cord nerve roots exit and create two sciatic nerves that travel down each leg all the way to the foot. These huge nerves supply all nerve function ranging from pain, sensation, & muscle function. When these nerves are irritated & compressed (radiculopathy) sciatica is diagnosed.
Professional evaluation should be sought as soon as possible when symptoms arise, and should include orthopedic testing & neurological evaluation to determine the cause and severity of your injury. Determining the cause is crucial because treatment and prognosis (expected time for symptoms to resolve) varies greatly depending on each case.
Piriformis Syndrome (Sciatic Nerve Impingment) - causes sciatica by compressing the sciatic nerve as it passes through the gluteal region. It is the least severe case and most often has the shortest prognosis. The piriformis muscle is one of the hip rotators. It is located under the glute max and is a short band of muscle that travels from the bony part of the side of your leg (greater trochanter) to the side of the wedge shaped bone just above your tailbone (sacrum). The piriformis runs behind (posterior) the sciatic nerve while the other hip rotators are located in front (anterior) of it. If the hip rotators are tight they will squeeze and apply pressure producing sciatic symptoms. Treatment should include scar tissue removal in the hip rotators allowing for lengthening and less pressure on the sciatic nerve.
Spinal Muscle Injury & Joint Restriction (Nerve Root Impingement) - is more serious and has a longer prognosis. When the low back is chronicly injured scar tissue develops between spinal segments. Scar tissue accumulation ultimately reduces joint motion narrowing the space allowed for the nerve to exit the spine. This narrowing can produce neurological symptoms in the legs seen in sciatica. Treatment should include mobilizing the spine to assist in the removal of scar tissue and slowing down joint degradation helping to reduce the chances of a more serious cause of sciatica.
Disc Injury (Nerve Root Impingement) - is the most serious cause of sciatica and has the longest prognosis. Patients should only view surgery as an option if they are in this category and conservative treatments have failed. When a spinal joint has been restricted from its normal range of motion for a long period of time the joint breaks so severely that the disc, located in the middle of the joint, bulges out into the space where the nerve exits the spine. The pressure of the disc on the nerve root causes severe neurological symptoms. Treatment needs to include widening of the joint causing less pressure on the nerve root. This is typically done by traction or decompression tables that lengthens the spine. In most cases the pressure can be alleviated and sciatic symptoms will diminish. Once symptoms resolve subsequent checkups should be advised to reduce chances of exacerbation.
1) Children's skulls are thinner & their head is proportionally larger than neck muscles - A child's skull is thinner than an adult's, while the mass of the child's head is greater in proportion to the rest of his body. Children's neck muscles — which they use to hold up their large heads — are less developed. While an adult's strong neck may act as a barrier to a concussion or to whiplash, as the neck can absorb some force before it reaches the brain, a child's large head and weak neck allow more force to reach the brain. In football, we add a heavy helmet to the already poor head/body mass ratio, further stacking the odds against the children. Even though mature football players play faster & harder the vulnerabilities in the children put them at a greater risk.
2) A child's brain takes longer to recover from a concussion - secondary impact syndrome (SIS). A recent study found that on average it took three days for a college athlete to regain "normal" memory function after a concussion; for high-school kids, it took seven days.
3) Brain development continues well into the teen years - and a brain injury at any time can permanently hinder that development. Not only can an injury become permanent, but an injury can cause a child to miss critical windows in development.

The shoulder is one of the most commonly injured areas of the human body. It's the most poorly designed joint we have & we constantly try to use it for jobs it isn't intended for. It's a ball & socket joint and because of this we have some of the largest degrees of freedom when it comes to range of motion. What we gain in motion we lose in joint stability. The socket that the arm sits in is very shallow which leaves its stability primarily up to soft tissue such as tendon, muscles, & ligaments. To add to the problem the most unstable part of the joint is anterior & inferior (the front & bottom) which is the direction the force of gravity applies on it. So, while standing we always have an unfavorable force being applied to the shoulder.
All these factors put you at risk of rotator cuff injury so the only clear cut preventative measure you can take is to maintain the health of the soft tissue surrounding the joint. Follow these 5 Tips on Prevention to assure better shoulder health.
1) Always squeeze your shoulder blades together when using your arms away from your body - Your body is designed to move with your shoulders back & standing up straight. With our postural issues these days most of us have shoulders that are rolled forward in a slouched position. This pulls the arm away from the socket & makes it unstable. Shoulder movements in this position expose the shoulder to a higher probability of injury.
2) Everyone should incorporate shoulder rotator exercises into their weekly routine - The rotator cuff muscles are the main stability muscles of the shoulder & are weak in the majority of the population. They primarily perform internal and external rotation of the shoulder. To do these hold your elbow at 90 degrees and squeeze it to your side. Rotate your shoulder inward (bringing your hand to your belly) for internal rotation & outward for external rotation. Attaching a Thera-Band to a door handle is an easy way to add resistance to your exercises.
3) Stay away from using your shoulders when they are behind your head - Many older exercise routines show people lifting a barbell or pulling a lat. pulldown bar behind their head. The shoulder is the most unstable & unprotected in this position. The muscles that engage when your arms are behind your head are small and incapable of lifting anything of substantial weight without risk of injury.
4) Leave exercising with heavy weight to larger/multiple muscle groups - The true strength of the shoulder comes from the deltoid. A thin muscle that starts at the top of the shoulder and drapes around the front, side, & back. It performs front, side, & back raising of the arm and overhead lifting. It's a smaller muscle & most exercises don't use any assistance of other larger muscle groups. Heavier weight should be used with large muscle groups (chest, back, & legs) & with movements that incorporate accessory muscles.
5) When carrying items keep them as close to you body as possible - Simple physics states that the further away a weight is to its fulcrum the heavier it becomes. This means that if you're holding something your shoulder will perceive it as different weights depending on how far or close you hold it to your body. Keeping items in close & getting as close as possible to items your reaching for will keep them lighter & help prevent unwanted stress on the shoulder.
Your Quads (quadriceps) are a well known group of muscles that make up almost all of the musculature of the front (anterior) compartment of the thigh. They are composed of 4 muscles
1) Rectus Femoris
2) Vastus Lateralis
3) Vastus Intermedius (not shown in image)
4) Vastus Medialis (Most commonly weak)
All of these combine towards the knee into the patella tendon. The patella tendon contains the free floating knee cap (patella) and constantly glides over the knee joint during an knee bending.
When these 4 muscles of the quad are not strengthened equally problems can arise. Most commonly a patella tacking problem occurs and causes increased inflammation in the knee joint resulting in general knee pain. This general knee pain can lead to other knee issues over time because of the constant repetitive stress of abnormal motion of the knee joint itself.
Just as many of the news stations have figured out, negative news sticks much better than positive. There has been a lot of research over the years linking fish with high mercury levels. As a result many people have turned away from this healthy choice. Consequently newer research is showing that we aren't getting enough omega-3 fatty acids on a daily basis.
The negativity of mercury overshadows the newer research surrounding omega-3 fatty acids and their health benefits. All too often I hear people mention the fact that high mercury in fish can cause a variety of horrible health issues. At the same time, I rarely ever hear talk of the negative health issues connected with not consuming enough omega-3 fatty acids. These include obesity, diabetes, autoimmune disorders, and other inflammatory conditions.
Fish are very plentiful in omega-3s and are biochemically designed for human consumption. Cell membranes surrounding every cell are composed of either omega-6 or omega-3 fatty acids. If you aren't getting enough omega-3s chances are your cells are made up of an omega-6 lipid membrane. This makes for a cell that is more prone to disease or dysfunction.
It's a tough predicament, so here are some tips.
1) Staying away from fish all together is a bad idea
2) The risk of trace amounts outweigh the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids and the rich nutritional value of fish
3) Be smart about your fish intake. For example, it isn't a good idea to eat swordfish for breakfast, lunch, and dinner 7 days out of the week
4) If you don't like fish for reasons other than mercury level find an omega-3
5) Click here for an idea of the mercury content of various types of fish
The summer season brings school vacation. Most athletes use the extra free time to train for the coming season or partake in summer leagues that often play more frequently than their school leagues. Whichever they choose they put their body at an increased risk of muskuloskeletal injury if proper treatment isn't maintained. Injury during this time can be detrimental not only to the future of the upcoming season but can also lead to chronic injury and exercise restrictions much later in life. Here are 5 injury preventing tips that all young athletes should follow:
1) Stay hydrated - Muscles are healthier and more pliable when hydrated. They are more efficient at doing their job and less "touchy" when asked to go beyond their comfort zone during strenuous training. With increased temperatures during the summer it is crucial to drink tons of water. Stay away from fruit drinks, sodas, and caffeine. Everything you drink gets processed by the kidneys for the purpose of extracting water for the body to use. The more "excess" in the drink the more water you will have to pee out to rid yourself of the unnecessary extras further dehydrating you, i.e. drinking salt water dehydrates you because the salt ratio is higher than the water which means that in order to rid yourself of the excess salt you will have to pee out more water than you are actually extracting.
2) Warm up before stretching or strenuous exercise - Contrary to popular belief athletes should stretch after their muscles are warmed up. Warm up exercises should consist of easy, body weighted exercises i.e. walking lunges, lateral lunges, air squats, push-ups. This gets blood pumping through the muscles and allows the entire muscle belly to contract together
3) Stretch after a workout or after warming up - Exercise causes micro muscle tears. Groups of fibers tear and reconnect to form stronger muscle fibers to do the job at hand. In the case of strenuous exercise routines the fibers tear more which makes stretching more important to the overall make-up of the muscle. Stretching a warm muscle will lengthen the scar tissue of the once torn fibers and speed up the healing process to allow for quicker stronger muscle recovery.
4) Ice targeted muscles later in the day post workout - Ice reduces inflammation and constricts blood vessels. As mentioned above exercise causes micro muscle tears, scar tissue formation, and healing. This whole process can run out of control if other factors come into play, such as poor diet and posture/biomechanics. Ice slows down this process and helps it maintain a healthy steady level of ideal healing which will lead to a quicker recovery.
5) Perform isometric exercises for sore muscles a day after exercise - Isometric exercises are muscle contractions without lengthening or shortening the muscle belly. Flexing your biceps muscle to show off your guns is an example of an isometric contraction. This type of muscle contraction draws blood specifically to the muscle without the risk of irritating any muscle fiber tears attempting to heal. The brain to muscle connection is extremely powerful and is a huge reason why people get better results when they know how each muscle "feels" when they work it out.

One man was killed and two other people were hurt in a rollover crash Friday morning on Lake Shore Drive no the North Side, police said.
Rescue crews responded to the crash about 5 a.m. in the 5000 block of North Lake Shore Drive, Fire Media Affairs spokesman Will Knight said.
The vehicle was heading southbound when it struck the median, and then flipped over into the northbound lanes of traffic, police News Affairs Officer Janel Sedevic said.
The driver, a 24-year-old man, was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.
Two passengers, a 33-year-old woman and a 25-year-old man, were both taken to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center in "stable" condition, Sedevic said.
The northbound Lanes of Lake Shore Drive were closed at Wilson Avenue for roughly four hours while authorities investigated.
The police Major Accident Investigation Unit is looking into the cause of the crash.

Seasonal themes and holidays are an obvious marketing hook, and a great reason to get your team to pull together, stay late one evening and completely revamp your floor plan and traffic flow, signage, "hot spots" or "sweet spots" where key items are displayed, color palette, product arrangement and shelf-talkers in time for the next big holiday. Store "makeovers" for Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Father's Day, back to school, Halloween and the end of the calendar year should be mapped out two to three months in advance, and timed carefully with promotions and GWPs, as well as community events and advertising campaigns.
Sonnenschein adds: "Another key to seeing through the eyes of your customer is to step outside the gender stereotype. Valentine's Day is a classic example. We think of this as a woman's holiday, with rose-petals and bon-bons thrown everywhere. But don't forget that the world is full of guys who are expected to not only remember Valentine's Day, but also to present the alpha-female in his life with a great gift, not just some schlocky card from the convenience-store. Here's an example of where spas and salons need to market to men, as gift-givers initially, offering the solution to a problem. This specific example is a great opportunity to attract new clients: at the end of January, start reaching out to men, not women, with reminders and offers for February 14. Once you make the guy a hero on Valentine's Day, then reach out again and offer him products and services for himself, like a smoother shave, sports massage, and more."
1 - Rethink your real estate.
A huge couch which dominates your space, and plush chairs which face into a vase of flowers, do not sell your product. Consider reducing the size of your waiting area. Use that space to display—and SELL—more retail, and train your team to work the floor.
2 - Make sure that retail is visible in a starring role.
If your retail area is tucked away on the other side of a wall, behind the front desk, on the way to the treatment room, you are not doing your products justice. The shelves of retail products must be treated like catnip, like chocolate, like gold. Make them enticing by first making them visible and accessible.
3- Seeing is desiring.
We all get numbed by repetition. When we look at something long enough, it becomes invisible. This is true of products on your shelves. Re-arrange your inventory, and create sweet-spots with nesting tables and acrylic display cubes. People will "see" these highlighted products as they are seeing them for the first time. Change the layout, display and window once a month, minimum, to keep it seeming "new."

New York State International Training & Research Program
Non-Degree Programs
Postdoctoral Training Program
Post-doctoral training at the Wadsworth Center Laboratories in Albany offers an intensive 1- to 2-year program for individuals with MD, DVM, and PhD degrees or PhD candidates who will conduct research for their dissertations in both the United States and their home countries. Fellows work under the direction of a dedicated mentor and participate in academic functions including courses at the School of Public Health in Albany, seminars, journal clubs, and research meetings. The goal of this training is for the fellow to conduct sustainable independent research at his/her home country institution. Wadsworth Center faculty support fellows by providing a strong background in bioethics, good clinical practice, and biosafety; helping fellows develop scientific presentations and grant writing skills; and teaching fellows the fundamentals of data management, research administration, and the management of intellectual property.
Note: Applicants in both degree programs and post-doctoral programs are required to participate in mandatory intensive ethics training sessions. Subjects covered include research ethics, data management, data ownership, publications, misconduct, and intellectual property issues. Information is also provided on informed consent in human subjects' research, responsible use of animals, issues relating to genetic testing, and information and issues relating to conflicts of interest.
In-Country Training Program: Seminars and Workshops
Short-term in-country training programs will be held on a yearly basis. The curriculum for each of these courses will focus on specific issues of concern to the Eastern and Central European partners. The in-country program will use a workshop format that will utilize faculty members from the home country and faculty members from the US Program, with additional experts invited for formal presentations.
The short-term in-country programs have three goals:
Substance Use Prevention Research Training Program
The Center for Drug Use and HIV Research (CDUHR) provides fellows with a 1-year post-doctoral fellowship focused on community-based research in substance use prevention. (Courses of study less than 1 year may be considered, determined by fellow's needs and faculty arrangement). Each fellow is assessed for research interests and strengths by a program faculty member. A fellow's training is then linked to both a specific mentor and funded study and includes seminars and training courses through CDUHR. Field experiences will be available (i.e., street-based outreach prevention interventions, needle-exchange services) as well as rotations through SUNY-DMC's HIV Clinic to observe successful integration of substance use and HIV care. CDUHR faculty will continue to mentor fellows after their return to their home country.
The recipient of the Substance Use Prevention Research Training will:
Advanced In-Country Research Training Support
Advanced In-Country Research Training funds support projects of fellows once they have returned to their home country after training. The focus of these training grants includes transfer and application of knowledge and technical expertise; expanding research capacity; and expanding collaborative research efforts in the home institution to assist trainees in becoming independently supported scientists.

I can count our panel at the conference as a success, I think. There were no fisticuffs between panel members or the audience, even though the topic turned to adoption language and ethical parties (always hot button topics) a few times. For the most part, people were listening and sharing (and laughing with one another, not at one another!). Even my Husband was vastly interested in what was being shared and we had a great talk over coffee afterwards. (Coffee! Without a two year old saying, "Hot! Hot!" It was an adult day out. Shocking!)
I was the last of four to speak. Even though I went to college for broadcast communications and worked in the field before leaving to stay home with the above mentioned Temperature Gauge, I'm usually more comfortable behind the scenes. I can read a prompter though it's been awhile. I did all of my reports in a well-spoken manner. But then I worked behind the scenes at our news station. And I think I got a little too comfortable there!
As the third mom was speaking on Saturday afternoon, my hands began to leak water. Not just sweat; leak water. Yes, it felt that bad. When it was my turn, I got up to speak and, thankfully, still had a voice. I made some (lame attempt at a) joke about going into labor and the presence of my Husband who is a paramedic… and in I jumped!
I read to fast at times. I tripped over some words. I misread one sentence and almost referred to birth mothers as "sometimes people." (I did fix it by pausing, saying, "No, they're always people." And on I went!) But afterwards, even as I read through the final paragraph, I felt some calm wash over me. Then we had to begin the question and answer session. More sweating.
We had asked, prior to starting, if there were any bloggers in the room. Very few had raised their hands. However, during the first part of the presentation, more and more had quietly filed into the room, filling it up with a decent amount of people. As the discussion started, we found that we had quite a few bloggers (and uber-interesting ones at that) and, much to my calming pleasure, some birth mothers as well! As the conversation began and flowed from one topic to the other, I felt more at ease.
No one came up to me and said anything nasty. In fact, one blessed soul actually said something along the lines of, "It's nice to see the birth mother voice represented here." I could have gotten up and hugged that lady.
One birth mother and one man (with an unstated attachment to adoption) questioned the panel's use of first mother even though we had used the terms birth and first interchangeably in our presentations. We tried to explain its use and some of the reasoning behind it. The explanations were somehow getting lost in translation. So, we then talked about that one post that got everyone's feathers in a ruffle when I said that birth parents, individually or on the whole, should be able to choose their own titles. They agreed; choosing your own titles made the most sense of all.
In all, it was a great experience. I learned a lot from the other mothers on my co-panel. I learned a lot from the questions and statements given by our audience. I met some vastly interesting people. On a personal level, I got to eat at my favorite non-fancy restaurant (Primanti Brothers, anyone?), visit the university where past family has attended and where my brother is currently attending and spend a day with my Husband as he supported one of my passions. I proved to myself that I could still speak in front of a group of people, anxiety be darned. And people proved to me that they don't always verbalize their inappropriate thoughts into nasty comments! (Unlike on the internet!)
I may have to go out into the real world more often! Maybe.

Delivery time was as advertised, but still long. All is good except for bright green straps that match the helmet. I was expecting black as shown. Makes the whole think look like a young girls helmet. Does the job, feels great, safe.

Comments about Giro Hex Helmet 2014:
I am on my second one of these after the first saved me from a serious concussion after a bad wreck. It fits great and Giro encludes some more padded inserts to help get things just right. The adjustment knob on the back is easy to use even with gloves and the helmet breathes very well. A great helmet!
Best Uses
Comments about Giro Hex Helmet 2014:
Helmet has a lot of ventilation which is great since I tend to get very hot when biking. The adjustable knob lets you configure the helmet very well.
The only downside is it seems like the straps twist themselves and it is a little uncomfortable, but not really noticeable when riding.
Best Uses
Comments about Giro Hex Helmet 2014:
I took a pretty good crash last week with this helmet. Fell from about 4 feet up straight to my forehead and cracked the helmet. However, other than a little headache and some scratches I felt fine. I never showed any signs of a concussion and I feel like this helmet performed great. I'm going to buy another one.

Ya know, this a great approach to what happened out there. I'm always the type to be nonchalant and dismissive about marketing with charities, but lost in that attitude is this exact story. Thanks for the reminder that there is an actual person behind the TV screen and that things like this can have an impact. Great coverage!

With no space to work in his crowded home, Sharif struggled with A-level maths. But our teacher, Mr Fairbairn, saw his potential and offered him space in his office after school. Empowered by his teacher's belief and engaging lessons, Sharif achieved an A grade in his exams, and the confidence to match.
"Mr Fairbairn made me realise that even someone like me, who was not particularly gifted or talented in anything, could do well and achieve if I tried hard enough."

MADISON, Wis. (WSAU) -- The present supply problem for propane distributors has prompted some additional help from Wisconsin Transportation officials.
Starting Monday, motor carriers hauling fuel and other energy resources can haul overweight loads under rules now used by milk haulers.
State Patrol Captain Brian Ausloos says truckers hauling fuel and oil can transport loads up to 10 percent greater than the gross axle and axle combination weight limitations, but not more than 15 percent greater than the gross vehicle weight limitations.
The same emergency order by the state allows carriers transporting energy resources to self-declare and temporarily suspend rules related to hours of service and driver qualifications. This emergency declaration will last 30 days, and apply to all Wisconsin roads.

A group opposed to stand your ground laws has released a new public service announcement that re-enacts the shooting death of Trayvon Martin.
According to the DailyMailOnline, the PSA by the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence uses actors to portray Martin and George Zimmerman and uses audio from 911 calls during the incident.
The video begins with the actor portraying 'Zimmerman' on the phone to police. The actual 911 call is heard as the actor playing 'Martin' is seen in the distance wearing a hoodie-sweatshirt.
The video then picks up inside of the home of a 'neighbor' who called police to report the shooting. A gun blast is also heard.
The PSA continues back outside as police arrive on scene. The actor portraying 'Zimmerman' can be seen raising his hand as officers shine a light on him. The body of the actor playing 'Martin' can be seen on the ground.
As the PSA ends, several more actors can be seen on the ground wearing clothes similar to that which the actor playing 'Martin' is wearing.
According to the DailyMailOnline, the state names listed over the 'dead' victims are states where the 'Stand Your Ground' exists.
Text on the screen reads - 'Our laws should protect victims. Not create more. Stand up to Stand Your Ground laws in 26 states.'
On its website, The Coalition To Stop Gun Violence features this message to legislators:
"Stand Your Ground" laws represent a dangerous and unprecedented escalation in the use of force in the public space, allowing individuals to shoot and kill even when they could otherwise walk away safely from an altercation. Oppose this immoral legislation.
George Zimmerman was acquitted of any crime for fatally shooting unarmed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin last year in Sanford, Florida, where Zimmerman lived and Martin was visiting.

Well, judging by the picture, I thought it was a stylish way to buy cialis online no prescription cool myself at the old ball game. Instead, Hymini is a way to power up my Blackberry when riding my bike or otherwise off-grid.
The Hymini is micro-wind universal charger/adapter for recharging "digital gadgets." The device stores the power collected, which can also be from a wall plug or solar power. And, well, you can make it work when skiing, biking, sailing, running, or simply sitting enjoying an evening breeze. Cool, truly Energy Cool.

In their own words: the experiences of 50 young witnesses in criminal proceedings - executive summary (PDF, 200KB)
The NSPCC in partnership with Victim Support
This report describes the experiences of 50 young witnesses who gave evidence in 15 of the 42 criminal justice areas in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. These were not 'tick the box' interviews. Instead, young people were invited to respond to prompt cards captioned with open-ended questions, for example:
Some were better able to discuss their feelings and provide details than others and some did not comment on every prompt question. Where the report indicates that a certain number of children expressed a particular view, it does not necessarily mean that the remainder disagreed or felt differently. The full range of comments, whether positive or negative, are reflected in the text.
Of the 44 witnesses who gave evidence by TV link:
Many witnesses wanted to thank someone at court. Suggestions from young witnesses for the judiciary included:
Suggestions to lawyers included:
Suggestions to supporters included:
Finally, young people's advice to other young witnesses included:

Most of the packages from Senner Tuning have focused on vehicles such as the Nissan 370Z and the Audi A5 , but now the tuner has diverted their attention to a larger car: the BMW X6 . Their tuning package has it all, with exterior and interior upgrades, as well as a 30 HP power increase.
The exterior modifications err toward the side of the M6 , with a new front bumper, large air intakes in a honeycomb design, a new tailgate, and a modified exhaust system. The standard wheels were whisked away and replaced with a new set of 22" wheels, leading towards the bottom part of the X6 where the tuner added a Bilstein B8 shocks system and springs with 25/20 mm lowering feature. The interior was only perked up with a new pedal set and a new DVD system to entertain any and all guests of the crossover.
The boost in power provided for the X6 takes the standard 3.0L turbodiesel engine of the xDrive40d and gives it an ECU remap and a new sports air filter. These changes take the standard 306 HP and brings it up to 336 HP. It's nothing to write home about, but at least it gets the job done.
