The Bachelor of Arts in History at St. Edward's embraces the people and places of the past and examines the complex interplay of culture, ideas and everyday life. The versatility of a history degree is well suited to careers ranging from researcher or archivist to museum curator, lawyer or teacher.
You'll study the impact of people, ideas and events on communities and world culture as you gain valuable historical knowledge and hone your research, writing, critical thinking and analytical skills.
Bachelor of Arts in History
As a BA in History major, you'll explore the origins and evolution of different cultures. You'll learn about people, events, cultures, geography, politics and ideas and be able to make sense of the complex situations that occurred in the past and exist today. You'll explore and gain an understanding of the issues that face the United States and the world in an ever-changing global community.
With a BA in History, graduates are prepared to work in a variety of fields. History graduates may work as foreign service officers, lawyers, museum curators or archivists. Other opportunities include careers as professional writers, information managers conducting research, librarians and teachers in elementary or secondary schools. This degree is also appealing to international employers seeking experts who understand local cultures and history.
Students often select the BA in History degree as a bridge to law school, or to graduate school in order to teach at the college level. Close interaction with the history faculty at St. Edward's — and time spent in classes, research and program events — prepares you with expertise and skills in research, analysis and writing that employers value.
Course Preview:
In addition to the general education courses required of all majors, and elective courses, BA in History majors take courses from these groups:
Students who major in history complete core courses, which include U.S. History, World Civilization, Modern World, Western Civilization, European History and Historical Investigation.
BA in History majors complete supporting courses, which include Latin American History, U.S. History, European History and Asian History.
The culmination of your history degree is a Senior Seminar course: Historical Investigation. Students delve into the origins and craft of the historian, then choose a topic for extensive research and investigation — concluding with an academic research paper. Historical Investigation challenges history majors to understand conflicting historical interpretations, to find and interpret a variety of historical sources, and to demonstrate their proficiency with computer databases and library resources.
View the Degree Plan (PDF) for sample course information for the Bachelor of Arts in History.
History majors have the option to complete internships with prominent historical associations, top businesses and nonprofit agencies. Internships are excellent opportunities to explore your passion for a particular era or historical issue and to sharpen your analytical skills and collaborate with field professionals. An internship is an outstanding addition to your résumé and can give you a distinct advantage for graduate school or your career path.

- Archeology Lab, Texas State Historical Commission
- Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum
- Texas State Cemetery
- Texas State Library and Archives Commission
At St. Edward's, you'll participate in hands-on historical research as a significant component of your courses. A major, original research paper is central to the BA in History degree.

- Phi Alpha Theta History Honor Society Conference

"They're in and out in seconds."
Upper Gwynedd Police say that the thieves struck quickly, targeting 15 cars on seven different streets across the township. Most of these cars were unlocked.
"Some were on the street, the majority are in the driveway. They just walk up, pull the handle, see what they can see and go," Deputy Chief David Poirier told FOX 29 on Wednesday.
The theft spree started early Monday morning. The thieves were back in action again early Tuesday. Investigators say that these bandits are after cash and high tech devices.
"They're just going in and taking things in plain sight, laptops, I-pods, GPSs, wallets, people leave their purses in these cars," Chief Poirier added.
"They hit just about every house going down the street," one resident said.
The victims of this crime spree were scattered across the area. In at least one case, they broke a window to gain entry to the car.
"Took her pocketbook, which had credit cards, her check book, social security card, everything in there," said Jack Rice after learning that his neighbor's daughter had been one of the victims..
Anthony Hill says the break-in crew walked up his driveway and went into his truck, but for some reason they didn't take a thing.
"From what I understand, they're looking for loose change, money or whatever," he said.
Several car owners were robbed on Beth Drive. Betsy Marple has lived here for years. She hopes her neighbors will keep an eye out for anything suspicious.
"Use spotlights, let your neighbors know when you're not there and just be really aware of your surroundings," she said.
Chief Poirier had some simple advice on how to avoid these crimes
"Lock your cars," he said.
Police have no information on the suspect or suspects at this point. They did take some fingerprints from cars.
Investigators think this could be the same group of thieves that struck four times just a few towns away in Worcester Tuesday morning. The Pennsylvania State Police are now investigating.

View of Purbrook in Medonte Township, Upper Canada, 1836
Before the arrival of the Loyalists and British military settlers, the present-day Province of Ontario was an extension of the Province of Quebec. Following the Constitutional Act of 1791, the colony of Quebec was divided to create Upper Canada (today Ontario) and Lower Canada (today Quebec). Many early settlers, both military and civilian, submitted petitions to the Governor to obtain Crown land. Sons and daughters of Loyalists were also entitled to free lands.
The Upper Canada Land Petitions contain petitions for grants or leases of land and other administrative records. This research tool provides access to more than 82,000 references to individuals who lived in present-day Ontario between 1783 and 1865.

Ronald McDonald Care Mobile®Improving Health, Changing Lives, One Child at a Time...
What is the Ronald McDonald Care Mobile®?The St. Vincent Healthcare Ronald McDonald Care Mobile® (RMCM) is one of more than 44 RMCMs worldwide. Ronald McDonald House Charities launched the global initiative in 2000 to increase access to healthcare. The RMCM is a pediatric clinic on wheels that delivers free dental care to children in the region.
Ronald McDonald Care Mobile® ServicesDental disease is painful, affects a child's overall health and often leads to poor school performance. In fact, dental decay is the single most common chronic disease of early childhood, five times more common than asthma. And while rare, dental disease, if left untreated, can lead to death.
Children who have no health insurance are a priority, but service is not limited to only those children. It is our mission to serve the children of our region, and no one will be denied treatment based on their ability to pay.
The RMCM travels with its own dedicated team of dentists & hygienists. It is equipped with a wheelchair lift and two exam rooms. Children are seen for dental exams as well as preventative and restorative care.
Our Dental Services:
New ServicesIn October 2012, the RMCM started a school based screening & sealant initiative to improve oral health in school-aged children. In this school-based program, the RMCM travels to schools to perform onsite dental screenings and preventative services at no cost to families or the school. To learn more about this program or to make an appointment, please call 406-238-6008 or 866-822-1411, or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Best Free Midwest Attractions: Missouri
Free stuff in St. Louis [1]
Forest Park in St. Louis is a premier destination for free attractions. Larger than New York's Central Park and chock-full of activities, this sprawling green space attracts locals and visitors. A shuttle bus connects many of the park's museums and attractions.
Among the standout free attractions here are the St. Louis Zoo, the Missouri History Museum, the St. Louis Art Museum and the St. Louis Science Center (see next slide for details).
Pictured: Missouri History Museum.
Forest Park [2]
Don't-miss sights in Forest Park [6]
St. Louis Zoo Lush landscaping makes this top-notch zoo (left) as pleasant as it is popular. Highlights of a zoo visit include River's Edge--a spacious home for Asian and African animals with underwater viewing of hippos--and the Penguin and Puffin Coast.
Missouri History Museum Engaging exhibits explore the city's colorful history, including Lucky Lindy's record-breaking flights and the 1904 World's Fair.
St. Louis Art Museum During the World's Fair, this Beaux Arts-style building held the Palace of Fine Arts. Today visitors come for a collection that spans millennia and includes works by Picasso, Monet and van Gogh.
St. Louis Science Center Dynamic exhibits, including an Omnimax theater and life-size T. rex, engage kids and adults alike.

More to do in St. Louis [13]
Museum of Westward Expansion While you'll have to pay if you want to ride to the top of the landmark Gateway Arch, the museum underneath it is free. Exhibits explore the city's role as gateway to the frontier.
Grant's Farm The Budweiser Clydesdales and 1,000 other animals roam the historic preserves. Shows featuring elephants and other animals are held several times daily. Admission is free, though parking is not.

Missouri State Parks: free [18]
All Missouri State Parks are free! Our favorites are the dramatic formations at Elephant Rocks (left) and the mansion ruins at Ha Ha Tonka.
The giant granite formations at Elephant Rocks, 90 miles southwest of St. Louis, were formed about 1.5 billion years ago when hot magma cooled into crystalline red granite. Huge weathered boulders are accessible today by several trails.
Ha Ha Tonka, a Lake of the Ozarks park, gets its name from a Native American phrase meaning "laughing waters." Visitors can hike to the dramatic hilltop ruins of a 1905-era mansion that caught fire in 1942.
Missouri State Parks [19]
Free art in Kansas City [22]
Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art Renovated galleries are opening in 2009 for the American and American Indian collections. The recently completed Bloch Building houses African and contemporary collections. Free audio or docent-guided tours are available.
Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, Kansas City The 1,000-piece collection features works by Andrew Wyeth, Georgia O'Keeffe and others.

More Horses
Last week, I went back to Penrose to play with horses at Equi-sense. I spent the entire week working with Brandy, asking her to do things horses normally don't do. With the help of one of the workers there, Brandy and I took on the obstacle course every day, and worked on improving communication skills. As the owner said, a horse will put forth no effort to communicate on your level, you must communicate on the horse's level.
The end goal was to get the horse to walk sideways in an open area, and to stand with it's front legs on a tire while rotating around it. To get the horse to understand what I wanted took a lot of work, divided into small steps.
For the first task, I brought the horse up to a fence so it couldn't walk forward, then I held my hands up, one towards her face one towards her rear to ask her to move sideways. We practiced that for a while before moving to a smaller obstacle, a log on the ground. She kept wanting to just walk around or jump over the log, so the man helping me stood in front and moved with the horse. Brandy had a harder time with this, but we were able to get it done. We also had to work in small steps to achieve the tire rotation. We started by having her in an open area. I waved one hand at her rear while pulling her head towards me to get her to spin around. We worked on this for a while.
It paid off beautifully. On the last day, we had no trouble getting her to spin on a tire. We still had some trouble getting her to walk sideways in the open, but for only four days of training I think we did pretty good. We did get her to walk sideways from the open over some barrels (so her front legs were on one side of the barrels and her rear legs were on the other) and continue to walk sideways across their length. That was pretty cool.
I did get to ride Brandy a bit the last two days. Fortunately, there was a smaller saddle available, and we did eventually get the stirrups shortened to a length that allowed to me to lift myself off the saddle (I'm quite short) so this time I was able to ride a galloping horse (couldn't do that with Boots.) I had a great time.
- Take small steps when training an animal.
- Horses are heavy, and they won't care if they're standing on your foot. Happened twice that week, once with each foot. Ow.
- When riding a horse, it's best to have it walk or gallop. The speed in between is… painful. I still have bruises from bouncing on the saddle.
I figure now is a good time for a round-up.
Equi-Sense Day 4: Yellow and Boots
Yesterday was my last day working with horses at Equi-Sense. We started out by doing the obstacle course which was the hardest task of the previous day. I worked with a horse I'd never worked with before. I chose her because I'd observed her following a helper in the pen just moments prior. As far as I know, this mare didn't have a name, so I just called her Yellow.
Apart from walking a bit too fast and occasionally stopping to feed on tufts of grass, I had no problems at all with her. She was a good horse who knew the obstacle course very well. As I was leading her around, the wife of the owner of the place (possibly co-owner,) came over to talk about me. She seemed surprised at how well Yellow and I were doing, telling me that Yellow tended to be high-strung and a bit aggressive. I saw neither of those traits that day. She was great horse to work with.
After this, we rode a horse for the first time since being there. Boots was a horse I'd never worked with at all before as well. She was a large horse, and the leader of the heard from what I observed.
I had trouble getting on her, requiring a boost. I had both stirrups shortened as far as they could go, yet I still barely reached them, and my feet often fell out. Walking, we didn't have much trouble. Boots was very responsive to directions, and we were soon traveling in figure eights in the small pen. Then I rode her over to the large pen (after removing Brandy from it so it was empty) so we'd have more space. A few times I asked her to trot, but when she did, My feet lost the stirrups and I felt like I might fall off. I tried riding her around a bit without using the stirrups at all, but, unable to lift myself off the saddle, it was a bumpy, unsteady ride. I didn't want to fall off, so I decided it was best to stick to walking.
All in all, I really enjoyed my experience at Equi-Sense. I feel that I learned a lot about horses and communication, about leadership, and about operant conditioning. I also feel that working with horses has helped me feel more confident around horses, as well as help manage the anxiety I'd been dealing with lately.
I was pleased to learn that there's an advanced class starting next month, which my health insurance will also pay for. Count me in.
Equi-Sense Day 3: Stepping It Up
This was my third day at Equi-Sense, and the game has changed quite a bit. Our interactions with the horses are becoming more complicated, as well as more rewarding.
We started with a review, repeating our more difficult tasks from the previous day, with the same horse, Brandy. First, we guided her through the tri-cones, which was our final task of the previous day. This, the horse and I accomplished with no difficulty at all.
Then we went on to lunging, directing the horse around the round pen without touching her or using a rope. I had a lot of trouble with this on the first day, but not I have a better understanding of what to do. Horses, as I'm told, are very reliant upon body language. I didn't have to actually have a rope, I need only imitate the motions that I would use if I did. If I pretended that I was guiding the horse with a rope, the horse would pretend this too, or so I hoped. I pointed in the direction that I wanted the horse to move with my leading hand, and used my second hand to gesture. It worked. I was able to guide her around the pen, coax her to move faster, turn her around, and get her to stop without using a rope.
Our first new challenge was this. There were two cones placed no more than 8 ft apart in the center of the pen. Our task was to get the horse to walk between these cones. We weren't allowed to touch her, or use a rope. As I went first, it was up to me to figure out how to accomplish this. The problem of course was that the target was in the middle of the pen, whereas the horse preferred to keep to the perimeter.
The people who ran the place later expressed surprise at my choice in tactics. They said it was weird that I wouldn't even let the horse near the cones and said they hoped I had some kind of strategy. I did. I kept her at the perimeter. As in the review exercise, I guided her around the pen, making her speed up and turn as I wanted until I was finally satisfied by her compliance.
"Whoah," I said until she stopped. She looked at me for a bit, then she lowered her head and approached. I momentarily forgot the no-touching rule and petted her. Then I turned around and walked through the cones and towards the gate. I knew better than to look over my shoulder, I didn't need to anyway. I could hear the horse's footsteps as it followed right behind me.
I never even tried to guide her near the cones, I knew it wouldn't work. I just wanted to guide her around a bit. I wanted her to see me as a figure of authority, someone to take direction from. I wanted her to see me as a leader, someone to follow. And she did.
That was the easiest task of the day. Later we had two separate obstacle courses, both of which involved lots of jumping. The first obstacle course was relatively simple, but was the one that I had the most trouble with. I used Brandy for this one, as we seemed to be getting along much better than we had when we first met. The first task was to get her to jump over a line of tires a few times, change direction, then do it again. I had a bit of trouble with this as keeping Brandy in the center of the tire line required holding her line shorter than I normally would have, which made it harder for me to change her direction. She nearly walked right over me a few times. Next, there was an arrangement of five logs arranged in a semi-circle radiating outward from the center point like the spokes of a wheel. I had a bit of difficulty again, but I did get her to jump each in their turn as she passed through (she kept trying to go around them.) The final task of the course was to lead the horse in an "L" shaped walkway bordered by some logs. Getting her to go in, turn, and stop was easy. The hard part was backing Brandy up and back through to the beginning of the "L," but we eventually got it.
The next course was more complicated, but Lota, the first horse I'd met here, knew what he was doing and needed little direction from me. First, there were three logs on the ground, spaced well apart, for him to jump over, which he did with ease. Next, there was a ditch that I was to guide the horse into while not entering myself. At the end of it, I was to have him walk up the slope. The only trouble with that was keeping him from stopping to eat the sparse tufts of grass. The slope turned into a hill winch, on the opposite side as the ditch, turned into a steep drop-off. I directed the horse to drop down, then, while remaining on the hilltop, got him to jump back up, then descend into the ditch again. The only problem here, which I should have anticipated, was that the horse gained a lot of momentum this way and so I had to follow quickly and then slow him down. Next, I had him jump two hurdles, two logs held about a foot or so above the ground by posts. Lota took these on beautifully. The figure 8 followed. Standing the the middle between two barrels, I guided the horse in a slow figure 8 pattern. After this came the only obstacle I really struggled with on this course. There was a barrel laying on its side on the ground, and I was supposed to make the horse jump over it one way, then turn around and jump over it from the other direction. I was able to get him over the first way just fine. But after turning him around, the rope length wasn't correct and he keptgoing around the barrel instead. We got it eventually, it just took patience. The final task was to guide the horse over to a tire on the ground, put both of its front feet on it, and say there. Lota already knew what to do here.
I've really grown to like the horses I've been working with over the last few days, Brandy, Thunder, and Lota. It's sad that tomorrow will be my final day with them. By this I of course mean because it's a four-day course, not because some lunatics think it's the day of the rapture. And no, I didn't take the tornado that I saw while driving home to be an omen. That just made me wish that I had something other than my phone's built-in camera.
Working With Horses: Operant Conditioning
Over the last few days working with horses at Equi-Sense, I've given thought to the operant conditioning methods in use.
The first and my favorite is positive reinforcement. Positive Reinforcement is when a desired behavior is reinforced with a reward. When working with dogs, this is usually done with a treat, especially when shaping behaviors. With the horses, we had no treats. What we did instead was pet the horses and speak in a soothing voice when they did as we pleased.
Less frequently, we'd use what's called positive punishment. Positive punishment is following an unwanted behavior with an aversive stimulus. I don't so much like this method, and neither does the owner. He instructed us to use this method only to deal with aggressive behavior, such as when the horse tries to bite. When Brandy bore her teeth at me yesterday, I was told to punch her in the mouth. On one occasion, I did lightly tap her on the muzzle with the end of the lead rope, but even doing that made me uncomfortable, so I only did it once. I don't like striking animals, and I understood where the horse was coming from. If some stranger started pulling me around by my face, I wouldn't be in a great mood either.
I did, on a few occasions, use what's called negative punishment. Negative punishment is dealing with an undesired behavior by taking away something that the subject wants. When I was leading Thunder, and then Brandy, sometimes they'd walk ahead of me or into me. When they did, I'd stop them and pull them around in a circle before moving on. The horses wanted to move forward, but I would only allow them to do so when the agreed to do it my way.
I used a similar method with Brandy later while in the small pen. As I discussed in my previous post, I was having trouble leading her back and fourth through some cones, and as a result she became upset with me enough to bare her teeth. A helper instructed me to "pop her in the mouth," but I wasn't comfortable with that. Instead, I instructed the horse to stop and had her hold still. This kept her from moving as she wanted to (as well as giving me a moment to figure out what I was doing.) I didn't need to strike her, I just had to let her know that she couldn't her her way by being aggressive. She didn't teeth at me again after that.
The most common method used, and in contrast to the methods of positive reinforcement that are the staple in clicker dog training, was negative reinforcement. In negative reinforcement, an aversive stimulus is applied until the desired behavior is achieved. The owner called this "pressure and release." When we wanted the horse to move its head away from us, we'd wave our hand near its eye. Horses don't like this, so they turn away from the hand. When we wanted the horse to move its hind end, we'd gently tap its hip (when I say gently, I do mean gently. We tap the horse no harder than one could tap a baby without making upset.) Sometimes it isn't even necessary to touch a horse to apply negative reinforcement. Off lead, we're able to control a horse in a pen simply by standing behind its haunches and waving, compelling it to move forward. Once the horse does what we wanted, we cease whatever we were doing so the horse knows it did what we wanted it to.
Equi-Sense Day 2: Brandy
Yesterday was my second day working with horses at Equi-Sense. We started out by reviewing what we'd learned to do yesterday. This time, I started off in the big pen working with a mare named Brandy. I began by trying to have her walk along side me, but she had a tenancy to break into trot and walk into me. Twice, she bore her teeth as if preparing to bite me as I'd put put my hand up to keep her from running me over. I had a lot more trouble controlling her than I had with Thunder the day before, but I did eventually get the hang of it and eventually convinced her to walk straight and slowly at my side.
Afterworlds, our whole group was given a new and interesting task. One of the helpers drew a small rectangle in the dirt in the large pen. Our task was to coax one horse at a time to stand in the rectangle for five seconds, and only the leader amongst us was allowed to talk. It was harder for us to convince any given horse that we were in charge since there were three other horses in the pen. Some horses could be guided in after being separated from Boots, the mare in charge of the herd. Others simply followed a human that had earlier established himself as leader. Boots was the hardest to convince, because first there were always other horses around her, then there were too many people around her so the poor horse didn't know what we wanted.
That done, we spent the rest of the day working one on one with Brandy in the round pen. We'd put the horse on the lead, then use rope signals to guide her. Walk this way, go faster, slow down, turn around, stop. Then it got harder. A helper put three cones in a triangle inside the pen for us to guide the horse around and through. I had trouble with this at first because I couldn't get a hang of the pattern. Since I wasn't sure what I wanted, I couldn't clearly communicate to the horse what I wanted, and she got a bit cross with me.
She bore her teeth at me again, which is not OK with me. I stopped her and took a second to consider what I was doing. I decided to not worry about the pattern and just take it all one cone at a time as I pleased. After that, the horse and I had no trouble at all.
Lesson Learned:
- Whether working with horses or people, in order to be an effective leader, you have to be clear about what you want. In order for others to know what you want, you first have to know what you want yourself.
It's only been two days but I think I'm already a lot more confident and comfortable around horses. It's almost funny, looking back, how frightened I'd been of Lota, a horse that never showed me any aggression at all, to calmly handling Brandy, a more difficult horse who did show mild aggression.
By the end of the day, I think Brandy and I came to an understanding. She too, joined me in the center of the pen for a nuzzle.

LMHI Country Report Latvia
In 1998, Latvian doctors first joined LMHI. During this period, a diplomatic struggle between "traditional homeopathy" (use of multiple remedies) and classical homeopathy occurred. The years 2007-2008 marked a turning point in Latvian homeopathy. In October 2007, we were asked to prepare postgraduate curriculum for the Riga medical university, Rigas Stradina Universitate. This 3-year educational course for medical doctors will lead to a higher level of recognition of homeopathy, assisting us in the opportunity of making homeopathy a basic medical specialty within a few years.
This year the new board of the Latvian homeopathic association, elected in March 2008, is editing homeopathic documents ("Regulations on homeopathic doctor specialty", "The medical technology of classical homeopathy") in accordance with the principles of Hahnemannian homeopathy. Preparation of the 66th congress of LMHI in Riga continues.

The Admissions Committee meets November through May and manages applications in cycles. Because of heavy demand and our small class size, early application is strongly recommended. Applicants should use the following guidelines in completing the application:
Applications must be submitted by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on the application deadline date.
* Requests for admissions decisions before the decision release dates cannot be granted.
You are urged to apply early and to submit the personal information and resume portion of the application. UNC Kenan-Flagler's class size is small, and admission is very competitive. Please make sure you schedule your admissions interview before the date above that is associated with your deadline number as you cannot be admitted without an interview. Please apply by the January deadline in order to be considered for merit fellowships.
The admissions office must also receive GMAT® or GRE (if applicable) and TOEFL® scores by the application deadline in order to consider your application in that cycle.
Decisions are also posted online by 5:00 p.m. on the decision mailing dates.
Our first cycle, October 18, 2013, is the Early Action deadline. Early Action is an option for applicants who know for certain that they will attend UNC Kenan-Flagler if admitted. Early Action provides applicants with the certainty of learning their decision by December 13, 2013. Admitted applicants in the Early Action cycle will be required to submit a $2,500 non-refundable enrollment deposit by January 6, 2014, in order to secure a space in the class (versus the regular deadline enrollment deposit of $1000). You should not apply for Early Action if you are not prepared to commit immediately to attending UNC.

Just wondering if anyone else has tried the Big Energy coffee at their local 7-11 lately. I gave it a try this morning, it has a Brazilian type flavor but within the coffee are some of the elements of the 5 hours Energy ingredients. WOW, I don't think I will try this one again unless it is my Free day or I am really dragging along some morning and really worn out. I felt like Speedy Gonzales in the cartoon. It did provide a big lift, but perhaps a little too much for my tastes. Still it was interesting to try it out.
Hmmm..is this a coffee that you pour from a pot? If so - I wonder how it would be to mix half of the energy coffee with regular coffee - or decaf. Actually I haven't heard of it. I know that most energy things out there cause my heart to race, so I don't do them. Did it increase your heart? Curious. Thanks -
I do believe that it did make my heart and pulse race a little bit so I would advice caution on excessive use of this product until it has been around a little while to see if any one has any serious problems with the side effects of it. Yes, it is ready made in the store for consumption with special markings on the pot handle stating Big Energy mix coffee. I didn't think of mixing it and perhaps I will try that out next time as well on a Free Day though.

It's the first weekend of March. Do you feel it?! The last full month of the regular season is now underway. Divisional and conference races are tightening. The playoff picture is slowly, yet increasingly become clearer. Some franchises are surging, some collapsing. Scoring races are beginning to crystallize as the 3 headed monster of Malkin, Stamkos & Giroux have set themselves apart from the crop. The triumph in cementing a spot in the top 16, the disappointment Leaf Nation of missing the playoffs each and every single post lockout season. I can hardly wait to see how these last six weeks unfold.
Without further ado, this weekend's Six-Pack!
Stats as of Friday morning
Winning % on the season= 55%
Previous Week Record= 3-3

With Thursday night's OT winner against Jersey, the Bruins are unbelievably gunning for their first pair of consecutive victories since January 10th & 12th. Coupled with Tuukka Rask's coming back to earth, losing five straight spot starts, Timmy T hasn't fared much better as Boston has been playing at a.500 clip since well before the All-Star game now.
However luckily for them and their dramatic OT victory this week, they face off against an Islanders squad who have silently slipped back below the mediocrity line losing five of six. Should be a walk in the park for the defending champs.

Mathieu Garon is coming off a nice trip back home shutting the door for the most part against the very same Montreal Canadiens which he group up cherishing, in a tight 2-1 affair. Perhaps it is a testament to his newfound confidence since he's been (yet again) anointed as the Lightning starter for the remainder of the season. Something tells me he gets going on a mini streak, despite his record this season suggesting otherwise, as he has a tendency to blow it when given the opportunity to rise from a backup goalie.
However, luckily for Coach Boucher, Stamkos has not had the 1nd half drought that plagued him last season where he scored 40 goals by January and only tallied seven more the rest of the way. This season he shatters his personal record of 51, without a doubt. However, this divisional matchup usually ends up being either the Marty St.Louis or Eric Staal show, with both players recording 39 points in 30 games against each other. (Bet on the over if you want another free biscuit here)

This once hailed "most famed rivalry in hockey history" has surely dulled out a fair bit, hasn't it?! The Habs sit right at the bottom of the East, losers of six in a row heading into their faceoff with the Wild on Thursday where they blew a 4-1 late third period lead. (Only to take it in the penalty shot competition, due mostly to Devin Setoguchi falling flat on his face, all alone in mid-ice.)
Despite being higher in the standings than Montreal, the Leafs have been arguably more horrid of late, only a point out of fifth, just three weeks ago, now sitting in 11th and within a five point reach of joining the Habs in dead last. Toronto has lost six consecutive outing and a disgusting 10 of 11. They're dreams and for a long time deemed reality of ending their six year missed playoff streak is slipping right through their fingers. Although a win against their archrivals could spark Toronto to a nice little boost going forward.

The Pens have been killing it lately, riding a four game winning streak and have been averaging a ton of offense at a rate of 4.33 goals per game over their past 9. Despite Sid the Kid continuing his seemingly eternity in purgatory and with Letang knocked out of the lineup once more, Malkin has once again been playing out of his mind, terrorizing defense tandems all over the lead, with James Neal riding shotgun. (Chaa Chiiing! for fantasy owners) Meanwhile,
Kudos to the Avs, who have really played themselves back into the thick of the Western Conference playoff race-- despite being written off by critics & pundits(including yours truly) for many for months now.

Doesn't get much juicier than this one folks for a regular season game. First of all, the story of the night here is naturally the immediate return to town of 2-time World Junior Gold Medal owning Cody Hodgson, now in enemy colours. The former Windsor Spitfire, turned Memorial Cup Champion, Zack Kassian along with newly acquired Gragnani will do their college best to erase any nostalgia in the air at GM place. Moreover, Ryan Miller's 120 minute shutout streak goes head to head with Roberto Luongo's 60 minute shutout streak. Whose will end first? I say Miller's. But both with surely end—I predict before the 1st intermission buzzer.

Despite Anti Niemi sporting a 0.50 GAA & .979 SV % over his last pair of starts, the Sharks recently futile offense forced him to split the 2 game set. San Jose is really counting on a return from injury of Martin Havlat soon to inject some life into their offense, as the Sharks have eight losses to their names over the past three weeks alone. Due to this recent skid, they've managed to lose their foothold in the upper echelon of the conference, and having also given up the division lead for the first time this season to the streaking Phoenix Coyotes. Despite St.Louis' fantastic play of late, San Jose takes this one in the Shark tank to roar back ahead of Phoenix for a share of the division lead.

Beyond the Super Bowl, Ravens safety Ed Reed has a future to think about. [Reed] has all the respect in the world for Bill Belichick, and that sentiment is well-known to be mutual. So could Reed, who is scheduled to be a free agent this offseason, see himself playing for Belichick some day? "Yeah, oh yeah, man, I could definitely play for coach Belichick," Reed responded. "He is a great coach. I'm sure he can help me to expand my football knowledge even more as a player and as a coach, so if I'm ever able to be around him, just like I was at the Pro Bowl, it's huge. It's the reason why I wear my sweater cut off a little bit. ... Most people will tell you around the facility that's how I look. It's just a blessing to even have met, to know coach Belichick." (Boston Herald) Comment
Forgive Stephen Strasburg for looking so forward to spring training. When the right-hander arrives in Viera, Fla., in two weeks for spring training, he will be anticipating the first full season of his young career, all restrictions lifted. Asked about his offseason in a telephone interview Monday night, Strasburg's response was telling: "It's been a month longer than everybody else. I'm [champing] at the bit." Strasburg, 24, went through various stages of coping after he was shut down on Sept. 8 after 159 1/3 innings. ... Four months later, it still lingers -- but less so. "It's still kind of a sore spot, to be honest," he said Monday. "I wish it didn't end up the way it did." (The Washington Post) Comment
Raptors president/general manager Bryan Colangelo may not be done dealing yet. Colangelo made his clearest statement yet that a divorce between he and Andrea Bargnani is closer than ever. ... Bargnani followed up the best season of his career -- albeit an injury-plagued one -- with a disastrous stretch this year, before getting hurt again. It has been obvious for some time that it is time for Bargnani to move on, for his sake and for the Raptors, and Colangelo indicated a move could happen soon, though it is not a certainty. "Andrea is a player that has definitely garnered interest. Unfortunately when he gets hurt that takes him off the market," Colangelo explained after breaking down the [Rudy Gay] trade to reporters.

Life expectancy among LDS and Non-LDS in Utah

This paper compares life expectancy between members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS or Mormons) and non-LDS in Utah. It examines the extent to which tobacco-related deaths explain variation in life expectancy between LDS and non-LDS.
Complete life table estimates were derived using conventional methods and cross-sectional data for white males and females from 1994-1998. Life expectancy was 77.3 for LDS males, 70.0 for non-LDS males, 82.2 for LDS females, and 76.4 for non-LDS females. For those alive at age 80, the remaining years of life expected were 8.2 for LDS males, 6.5 for non-LDS males, 10.3 for LDS females, and 7.1 for non-LDS females. Years of life expected increased more so among non-LDS after we removed deaths associated with tobacco use from the life table.
A comparison between LDS and non-LDS of the adjusted life expectancy estimates indicates that although differential tobacco use explains some of the higher life expectancy in LDS, it only accounts for about 1.5 years of the 7.3 year difference for males and 1.2 years of the 5.8 year difference for females. Higher life expectancy experienced among LDS not explained by tobacco-related deaths may be due to factors associated with religious activity in general, such as better physical health, better social support, and healthier lifestyle behaviors. Religious activity may also have an independent protective effect against mortality.

I have been working at JIMS
Pros – i got a lot of tips
Cons – the restauranct is too busy
I have been working at JIMS full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – free food, cant really think of anything that is a pro, they dont offer anything more than any other managment possition.
Cons – pay is not good, work to many hours, not enough days off.
Advice to Senior Management – stay as an assistant, you get more time off
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
I worked at JIMS
Pros – JIMS is a family owned business and as such they are more than accomadating when it comes to your personal schedule
Cons – Run by an owner who is a Machinest and a smart and savy motorcycle parts maker but he lacks any formal education and tends to surround himself with friends rather than competent managers. There are a few bright spots in his staff but they are few and far between
Advice to Senior Management – JIMS needs to get serious on taking the company forward by hiring staff with true buisness skill sets. His company could grow by leaps and bounds if Jim would step down and hire a true business manager.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Portland >Fitness > CrossFit Hillsdale
1509 SW Sunset Blvd # 1b, Portland, OR | Directions 9723945.479605 -122.693046
Neighborhoods: Southwest Neighborhoods Incorporated, Hillsdale
IâÂ?Â?ve been a part of the Crossfit – Iâ??ve been a part of the Crossfit Hillsdale family for more than a year and half and could not be happier with it. I love being able to get a serious workout and support a small, locally-owned, family-run business that has a welcoming, positive atmosphere. Wally and Lara have fostered a strong sense of community within the gym but also for Crossfit Hillsdale as part of SW Portland.
Crossfit in general is tough but fun and Crossfit Hillsdale is a great fit for serious athletes and newbies alike; all skill levels and ages are welcomeâ??there is also a dedicated Saturday morning class that is aimed at beginners but also frequently includes veterans looking to tune up skill work. Another nice thing about the schedule is that there are early morning, midday and evening classesâ??plenty for of options to fit your scheduleâ??and it is 100% drop-in, no reservations required.
Read avitevetâ??s review below for a great description of the Crossfit Hillsdale work-out style. Bottom line: Crossfit Hillsdale provides challenging, expertly-coached work outs, without hype and gym machismo, in an environment that is focused on learning, safety and improving your health and strength.
Great crossfit gym – I've been a member of Crossfit Hillsdale for about a year and really like the location, cost, community, and of course the owner Wally.
Wally's set up the schedule so that there's 1 to 3 crossfit classes per day. I have settled into a schedule where I pretty much always attend classes at the same times, and many other members have done the same, so I see someone I know every time I go. There is no negative competitive energy here, we all push each and offer helpful tips when we can.
Each class is an hour and is divided up into joint movement, warmup, skill work, and workout portions. The workout portion can be anywhere from 5 to 45 minutes, depending on the workout of the day. Don't let the workout time fool you though - your job is usually to get through the workout's movements as fast as possible, which makes the workout intense. Everyone starts basically the same workout (scaled to their ability level) at pretty much the same time, which pushes everyone to safely work their hardest.
Wally's great - he knows a lot of drills and modifications to correct any flaw or work through any limitation in people's movements. He'll also stop you if you're about to get injured and push you a little if you're dogging it.
So to sum up, crossfit here can get you into a well-organized routine, with the only variable being the workout of the day. You'll arrive at the same time, leave at the same time, go through the same class structure, see the same people, and work hard every day. Wally's done a nice job getting just the essential equipment, and will be able to safely guide you through a really hard workout.
No More Treadmills! – We've been going here for months now and have been having a great time. Wally keeps the place serious enough that it's safe and nobody gets hurt but light enough that it's fun. Definitely a place that doesn't take itself way too seriously. I've been to different Crossfit boxes across the continent and I still like Crossfit Hillsdale the best. Not to mention that the rates are a screaming deal here!
CrossFit Hillsdale is the real deal! – I've been doing Crossfit for about 4 months now, and it's still tough. You can't watch Oprah while you're "running" on an elliptical and there are no machines to let you crank out dozens of bicep curls in preparation for swimsuit season. CF workouts are hard. They're designed to teach you to move better, stronger and faster, and they're definitely not for everyone.
But that said, the coaches here are, foremost, teachers, not meat heads. The content of the workouts can look scary on paper, but the coaches make it accessible to anyone. I don't know if it was the intent, but a philosophy of instruction and personal development seems to permeate everything that goes on. And that, combined with the intensity of the work, renders results (...substantial ones). And the whole environment of the gym is nothing but supportive and encouraging.
Everything is scalable, and there's always a coach on hand, so any fitness level can do it. The price is awesome (seriously, compare it to other CF gyms in Portland). If you're even a little bit curious, try it. The first week is free.

Hello all,
I would like to know how do we figure out which exercises to do for upper and lower body? So far, I've been using Bill's examples form his workout record in the BFL book. Is that good enough?
To start those should be good enough however you may get bored or you may want to hit those muscles in a different way. You can always Google something like dumbell exercises and probably find thousands of suggestions. Good luck and keep pumping.
Tom "Poppi"
Thx Poppi,
I've been working out for years(with little to show for it) and I have a small library of exercises and YouTube videos of exercises. I wasn't sure if there were specific exercises we should do or stay away from.
Thx for your help.
