Fitness: Adding More Activity to Your Life
If you have decided to get more active, congratulations! Making that decision is an important first step in becoming a healthier person.
Keep these key points in mind:
- Being fit helps you look and feel your best and reduces your risk for a heart attack, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and some cancers.
- Knowing why you want to get more active can help you make a change.
- Start with small, short-term goals that you can reach pretty easily. It's easier to stick to something new when you have early, frequent successes.
- Support from family and friends can go a long way toward helping you find success in becoming more active. Don't be afraid to let them know what you're trying to do—and ask for their help.
- If you're worried about how more activity might affect your health, have a checkup before you start. Follow any special advice that your doctor gives you for getting a smart start.
Doing an exercise or some other physical activity once isn't so hard. The hard part is making changes in your daily life so that you start moving more—and keep moving more as part of your daily routine.
Jumping in too far too fast doesn't usually work, especially over the long haul.
Starting an exercise program—or any kind of change in the way you live your daily life—is like being on a path. The path leads to success. And there are three steps you have to take first:
- Have your own reasons for doing this.
- Set goals. Include long-term goals as well as short-term goals that you can measure easily.
- Think about what might get in your way, and prepare for slip-ups.
Test Your Knowledge
The hardest part about exercising is making it a permanent part of your life.
This answer is correct.
Anybody can exercise once. The hard part is making regular activity a part of your daily life. By thinking about it ahead of time and planning how you will do it, you can be successful.
This answer is incorrect.
Changing your daily habits is harder than doing something once or twice. But by thinking about it ahead of time and planning how you will do it, you can be successful.
Your reason for wanting to become more active is really important. Don't do it just because your spouse or boyfriend or parent wants you to. What makes you want to get more active?
- You have a specific health concern (your heart, high blood pressure or high cholesterol, diabetes, depression, your bones and muscles, or something else).
- You want to feel better and have more energy.
- You want to lose weight or stay at a certain weight.
- Your doctor told you that it's important for your health.
- You have another reason for wanting to do this.
It's not easy to make changes. But taking the time now to really think about what will motivate or inspire you will help you stay active for the long term.
Test Your Knowledge
To be successful at making activity a regular part of your life, you have to know why it's important to you.
This answer is correct.
Your motivation for becoming more active is very important to your success.
This answer is incorrect.
Actually, the answer is "true." It's not enough to decide to start exercising just because your spouse or your girlfriend wants you to. You have to have your own reasons for doing it.
As we said before, you're not as likely to succeed if you jump in too far too fast. In this section, you'll learn about the steps to follow in setting up an exercise plan.
- Set your goals.
- Pick an activity, and prepare for it.
- Think about your barriers.
- Get support—from others and from yourself.
Set your goals
When you are clear about your reasons for wanting to get active, it's time to set your goals.
What is your long-term goal? A long-term goal is something you want to reach in 6 to 12 months. For example, someone who isn't active at all right now may have a goal of entering an organized 5-kilometer walk in 6 months.
Whatever you choose for your goal, experts recommend doing either of these things to get and stay healthy:1
- Moderate activity for at least 2½ hours a week. Moderate activity means things like brisk walking, brisk cycling, or shooting baskets. But any activities—including daily chores—that raise your heart rate can be included.
- Vigorous activity for at least 1¼ hours a week. Vigorous activity means things like jogging, cycling fast, cross-country skiing, or playing a basketball game. You breathe faster and your heart beats much faster with this kind of activity.
It's fine to be active in several blocks of 10 minutes or more throughout your day and week. And you can choose to do one or both types of activity.
If you decide to aim for these recommendations, what are the short-term goals that will help you get there? Short-term goals are things you want to do tomorrow and the day after.
For example, if you want to build up to walking 30 minutes every day, you might start by walking just 10 minutes a day, a few days a week. After a week, you can set a new goal by adding just a few minutes every day or adding another day to your schedule.
Read more about setting goals.
Here are some quick tips about activity goals:
- Stretch, breathe, and lift. Think about doing
things in three areas:
- Stretching, for flexibility. Do all stretches gradually. Don't push or bounce the stretch. You should feel a stretch, not pain.
- Aerobic exercise like walking, for your heart, lungs, and muscle tone
- Muscle strength and endurance, for strong bones and muscles
- Talk, don't sing. If you can talk while you're being active, you're moving at a good pace. If you can sing, you might want to pick up the pace a bit.
- Don't forget—any activity counts, as long as it makes you breathe harder and gets your heart pumping.
Pick an activity and prepare for it
- Ask yourself questions to find out what your physical activity preferences and attitudes are.
- Pick an activity that you enjoy or think you might enjoy. You're more likely to keep doing something you like. Walk the dog. Use the stairs. Do some gardening.
- Be sure to have the correct clothing and gear.
- Learn about fitness machines you may use, like a treadmill or stair-climber, and how to buy fitness equipment.
- Learn the proper way to do your activity, and be aware of any safety concerns.
For ideas on fitting more activity into your day, see the topic Fitness.
Think about barriers
Take the time to think about what things could get in the way of your success. We call these things barriers. And by thinking about them now, you can plan ahead for how to deal with them if they happen. Read more about common barriers and what you can do about them.
Here are some tips for dealing with barriers:
- It's perfectly normal to try something, stop it, and then get mad at yourself. Lots of people try and try again before they reach their goals.
- If you feel like giving up, don't waste energy feeling bad about yourself. Remember your reason for wanting to change, think about the progress you've made, and give yourself a pep talk and a pat on the back. Then you may feel like going for a walk.
- When you hit a barrier—and most people do—get support. Talk to your family members and friends to see if someone wants to be active with you or cheer you on. If you have concerns about your health, talk to your doctor to make sure that you're doing your activities safely.
- Don't forget little rewards. Something to look forward to can keep you moving right along.
It might help you to write down your goals and your barriers(What is a PDF document?).
Get support—from others and from yourself
The more support you have, the easier it is to exercise.
If your family members tell you that they love how you're getting healthier, you'll probably be motivated to bound up the stairs at work or walk an extra 10 minutes.
And there's more support out there. You can even ask for encouragement. Here are a few things to look for:
- Walk or do your activities with a partner. It's motivating to know that someone is counting on you. That person can remind you how good it feels to exercise or how far you've come. And that person can even motivate you with what he or she has accomplished.
- Friends and family may be a great resource. They can exercise with you or encourage you by saying how they admire you. Friends can tell you how good you look because you're exercising. Don't be afraid to tell family and friends that their encouragement makes a big difference to you.
- You might join a class or workout group. People in these groups often have some of the same barriers you have. They can give you support when you don't feel like exercising. They can boost your morale when you need a lift.
- Give yourself positive reinforcement. Reward yourself! Buy new workout clothes, take yourself to the movies, or treat yourself to a new DVD. Do whatever it takes to remind yourself that you've been meeting your goals. You're successful!
- Your doctor or a fitness professional can help you plan a routine and learn proper form and technique. He or she can help you track progress toward your health goals.
You might find a fitness professional at a local health club or in phone listings. When deciding on fitness professionals, ask about how they were trained and what certifications they have. Check into experience and ask for a few references.
Support is everywhere. You just have to look for it.
Test Your Knowledge
Setting your goals is an important first step in forming your exercise plan.
This answer is correct.
You're more likely to be successful if you sit down and figure out what your long-term goals are and what small steps you can take to reach those goals.
This answer is incorrect.
It may seem like a waste of time to sit down and figure out what your goals are, but you're more likely to be successful if you do.
Before you start an exercise program, you need to identify your barriers. This means:
Counting how many doors you need to open to get
outside to exercise.
This answer is incorrect.
In this case, barriers are things that get in the way of reaching our goals. Barriers to exercise include the valid reasons that you aren't active and the excuses you make to avoid something you dislike or fear.
Watching for bumps and potholes as you walk down the
street so that you don't trip.
This answer is incorrect.
In this case, barriers are things that get in the way of reaching our goals. Barriers to exercise include the valid reasons that you aren't active and the excuses you make to avoid something you dislike or fear.
Thinking ahead about what might get in your way as you
try to make exercise a regular part of your life.
This answer is correct.
Barriers are things that get in the way of reaching our goals. Barriers to exercise include the valid reasons that you aren't active and the excuses you make to avoid something you dislike or fear.
Now that you have read this information, you are ready to plan your exercise program.

Physicists say they are now confident they have discovered a long-sought subatomic particle known as a Higgs boson.
The European Organization for Nuclear Research, or CERN, says a look at all the data from 2012 shows that what they found last year was a version of what is popularly referred to as the "God particle."
CERN physicist Joe Incandela said in a statement Thursday that "it is clear that we are dealing with a Higgs boson though we still have a long way to go to know what kind of Higgs boson it is."
The long-theorized subatomic particle would explain why matter has mass. It is considered a missing cornerstone of physics.
Last July scientists with the world's largest atom-smasher announced finding a particle they described as Higgs-like.

As an adjunct professor, this subject is near and dear to my heart. Higher education is in a crisis because there are not enough Ph.D's in the country to support the growing number of students enrolling in college. The Educators Academy stresses the need for qualified professionals to transition into teaching our next generation of PR professionals. Without qualified professionals to teach the next wave of professionals, our industry will be in a crisis.

Candice "Candy Suxxx" Shand is a character in Grand Theft Auto series who appears as a supporting character in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and made a small voice cameo in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories.
Candy Suxxx has appeared in a number of porn films, including Bite, Closer Encounters, Vinewood Call Girls, That Can't Be Legal, Filthy Chicks, Return of the Anaconda and Let Me Bounce.
Candy is voiced by Jenna Jameson, a former porn actress and entrepreneur.
Candy Suxxx was born somewhere in the United States and began to work as a porn star at some point prior to 1984.
In 1984, she already had at least one film released and was making a name for herself, having a fan in Jerry Martinez since he was watching a tape of Candy with a pig and a horse during a mission. In 1986, she based herself out of Vice City, occasionally working with porn film director Steve Scott. She also works as a prostitute or escort, often accompanying Congressman Alex Shrub, including to Juan Cortez' parties, in place of his wife Laura. She first meets Tommy Vercetti when he recruits her, first killing her agent, and then taking her to the InterGlobal Films studios with Mercedes Cortez. During Dildo Dodo it is revealed that Steve Scott and Candy are sleeping together this is recognized when Steve asks Candy to go to his trailer as he unzips his pants. Vercetti later follows her in a helicopter to a penthouse where she meets with Shrub, allowing Vercetti to take damaging pictures of Shrub, dressed as Martha, and Candy, allowing him to blackmail Shrub into allowing porn films to continue to be distributed in the city. Candy meets Vercetti once again when Vercetti gets the idea to use a spotlight display to advertise their latest movie.
She continues to work in the porn industry through to at least 1992, when posters and a billboard appear in both Los Santos and Las Venturas in San Andreas, whilst posters featuring Candy also appear in Liberty City in 1998. Pictures of Candy Suxxx appear in some safehouses in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

- "Executive helicopter for high rollers, big spenders, and tourists."
- — GTA Vice City Website.
The Maverick is a civilian helicopter in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, Grand Theft Auto IV, and Grand Theft Auto:V. The Maverick has also appeared in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories but it is not intended for the player to use.
The Maverick is based on the Bell 206 L Longranger, but the GTA IV rendition features four blades on its main rotor, similar to the Bell 407, but retaining the body design of previous Mavericks (pre-release material such as television footage, suggests GTA IV's Maverick was originally intended to retain its two blade rotor).
Overall, the Maverick is a good choice of transport in GTA Vice City, but GTA San Andreas has many better options. In GTA IV, most helicopters are just variants of the Maverick, so for style go for a different variant (like a Helitours Maverick). However, for function, go for an Annihilator as it has weaponry and is the fastest helicopter in the game. Since GTA Vice City, the police has their own version of the Maverick called the Police Maverick.
GTA Vice City — GTA Vice City Stories
In GTA Vice City, the Maverick is a fully accessible vehicle, available in quite a few places. It has a moderate maximum speed, can survive some damage, and it is the only helicopter that is available in a variety of colors. There is also another smaller two-passenger version dubbed VCN Maverick that is used by the Vice City News Network.
In GTA San Andreas, the Maverick is essentially the same helicopter, but with slightly altered handling, and a new sound. As in GTA Vice City, there is also a news helicopter version of the Maverick, the News Chopper, that can be seen flying along with the Police Maverick once the player reaches a 4-star wanted level.
In GTA Vice City Stories, the Maverick is used in some missions. During the mission High Wire, a magnet is attached to the Maverick to act like a sky crane, which is not available outside the mission. Lance also owns one, which is seen occasionally in the game.
The Maverick in GTA Liberty City Stories is not intended to be obtained by the player. However, it can be obtained by the player during the missions Calm Before the Storm given by Joseph Daniel O'Toole[1] and False Idols given by Ned Burner[2]. The Maverick can be obtained more easily by using this trainer for the PSP version of the game. It is unusually fast and can reach high speeds in a matter of three seconds, which is not possible with the Maverick in other games. Moving the camera moves the helicopter (because the right analog stick was to alternatively control a helicopter in Vice City.) The blades are used of that of an AI-controlled Police Maverick, and the blades renders transparency incorrectly when they are viewed through the blades (i.e. trees.)
GTA IVIn GTA IV the Maverick has been changed slightly, including new crash animations, four rotor blades, blinking lights, new sound and improved design, although it still remains similar to the previous renditions of the Maverick and shows similar flight abilities. In GTA IV, the Maverick is the only civilian helicopter, and it may be found at either Francis International Airport, some of the helipads, on skyscraper helipads, the Alderney Heliport above the Booth Tunnel or even during Brucie's Heli Ride activity. Since this is an unarmed helicopter (unless a passenger is shooting a weapon), this is not advised for chases or any fighting in general.
When the player unlocks Brucie's Chopper ability, or visits Higgins Helitours, the player can spot this humorous message on the "A" pillar while in the passenger seat: "This helicopter might crash but we really don't care if it does, refer to flight manual for help."
In addition to the aforementioned difference in rotor design (a two-blade rotor replaced by a four-blade variety), pre-release materials also depict earlier forms of the Maverick as having shut rear doors, as opposed to slid open doors in the final version.
In GTA V, the Maverick sees a significant change in appearance, and looks to now be modeled after the Eurocopter EC135 as opposed to the Bell 206.
- Lance Vance - as seen in GTA VC and GTA VCS.
- Massimo Torini - Massimo owns a Maverick that is jet black with two white stripes as seen during the missions Calm Before the Storm and The Sicilian Gambit. (Note that the Maverick in Calm Before the Storm is completely indestructible, while the one in The Sicilian Gambit is normal.)
- Reni Wassulmaier - owns a gray Maverick with two pink stripes as seen during the mission Accidents Will Happen.
- Faith W. - as seen during the mission False Idols
- Kazuki Kasen - owns a bullet and explosion proof Maverick, seen in Cash in Kazuki's Chips.
- Little Lion - seen in the mission The Da Nang Thang.
- Ricardo Diaz (unconfirmed)
- Tommy Vercetti - owns two Mavericks, one at Hyman Condo and the other at Vercetti Estate.
- Mike Toreno - as seen during the mission Pier 69
- Arthur Stubbs - owns a black Maverick as seen in The Lost and Damned mission Politics.
- Eduard Borodin - as seen in the Grand Theft Auto IV mission Dust Off and Paper Trail.
- Giovanni Ancelotti - as seen in Ladies' Night.
- Brucie Kibbutz - during the Heli Rides during friendship activities and Special Ability.
- Police Maverick, Mavericks adopted for use by the police.
- VCN Maverick and News Chopper, Mavericks modified into news helicopters.
- Coastguard Maverick, a cut Maverick in GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories intended as a variant used by the Coastguard.
- Helitours Maverick, Mavericks for use in helitours.
- Even though the Maverick in GTA Liberty City Stories is not meant to be obtained, the controls from previous games still work. It also lacks an in-game name.
- In The Ballad of Gay Tony, Mavericks are scripted to be flown by civilians, and can be found flying around the coastline of Francis International Airport.
- A special golden Maverick is used during The Ballad of Gay Tony Drug Wars.
- In Grand Theft Auto IV, despite having its rear doors open, the player will always smash the window rather than a safer way by going through the back door. The same thing happens when getting into the Annihilator.
- In the GTA IV era, the player can use a Maverick to evade up to a 4-star wanted level. The player can take the Maverick, elevate to the highest point the player can go and the fastest as he can go at the same time, then the player must jump out of the Maverick. This while make the character fall out but at the same time travelling distance through the air because of the speed, the player must land on water to survive, then if the player still hasn´t gotten out of the wanted level police radar on the minimap below, the player must swim out of the radar avoiding patrol boats. In TBoGT, the Maverick might escape up to a 5 star wanted level due to the fact that in TBoGT, the player can fly higher up into the sky.
- The Maverick is the last vehicle seen in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories hence making it the last vehicle non-chronologically shown in the GTA III Era.
- In the GTA IV era, the player can open the front doors of the Maverick, and on the radar, on the dashboard, the player can see what looks to be a picture of a fighter jet, which could have been used for the Fighter, which was a plane flyable before GTA IV was released.
- While taking a ride with Brucie's helicopter you can see a sign at your right which says "This helicopter might crash. But we don't really care if it does. Refer to flight manual for help."
- In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, if you scrape the Maverick's landing gear on any surface you will see tire marks.
- In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, the doors of the Maverick can't be closed if Vic comes out. However, this was fixed in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.
- Actually, Mavericks have 5 seats, but it's only used for 4 people.
- In GTA San Andreas, the helicopter's blades do not show frames when they're rotating.
- The Maverick's name may be a reference to the 1986 film Top Gun, as Maverick is the callsign of the main character, and the whole film is about flying.
- In GTA LCS and GTA VCS, the Maverick assumes a slightly different appearence. The cockpit now resembles that of the YOH-4, the Bell 206's prototype version. Its tail boom is also different, appearing stubbier and longer than previous versions. However, the Police Maverick still has the same model, with GTA VC and GTA SA style cockpit and tailboom, albeit with the respective game's police department paint job (LCPD and VCPD).
- White with two red stripes
- White with two blue stripes
- Mint-cream with two white stripes
- Black with two white stripes (Unique, it can't be saved. You'll never see this paint job even if you respray your Maverick) Appears in Calm Before The Storm and The Sicilian Gambit
- Red with two white stripes
- Completely black, appears in Caught in The Act, even modifying the Maverick with Black Cars cheat will not make it jet black
- Blue with two white stripes
- Dark grey, you can faintly see two stripes on the sides
- Black with white stripes
- Blue with white stripes
- Red with white stripes
- Green with white stripes
- White with red stripes
- White with black stripes
GTA Vice City
- Roof of the Hyman Condo safehouse.
- Roof of the Vercetti Estate after the mission Rub Out. If the Sea Sparrow is unlocked, there is a less chance of the Maverick spawning.
- Uniquely-colored Maverick in the mission Loose Ends.
GTA San Andreas
- Easter Bay International Airport, near the Dodo hangars. Oddly, the doors are not locked even without a pilot's license, allowing it to be used if the player can get into the airport.
- The top of the Los Santos Tower in Downtown Los Santos. The tower has a star-shaped top. The Maverick may not be there, it spawns more when you fly there, especially when flying a Sparrow.
- San Fierro Police Headquarters Helipad in Downtown San Fierro. Spawns there after Toreno's Last Flight, the mission where you have to stop Mike Toreno with a rocket launcher. Note: This should only be taken as a last resort, since going behind the gate without a law enforcement vehicle triggers a 3 star wanted level. To avoid it, park a police bike right next to it and then take off as fast as possible.
- Bayside Marina helipad (note that a Sea Sparrow often also spawns here)
- On the roof of San Fierro Medical Center, Santa Flora, San Fierro (note that a Raindance also spawns east of here)
- Helipad at The Emerald Isle (If it does not spawn, walk to the very east of the building and walk back and it should be there).
- In the underground lot of the LVPD headquarters but its impossible to get out with it.
GTA Liberty City Stories
Much like other helicopters in the game, the Maverick in GTA Liberty City Stories is unobtainable, as the game's developer may had been unable to adapt the entire city for player-controlled helicopters, such as adding solid boundaries on building and roofs, setting a ceiling height limit, or a crash animation.
However, the helicopter is, along with the Police Maverick, the only helicopter to appear proper during mission, although the player is normally unable to obtain one in any of its appearances (unless otherwise stated):
- During "Calm Before the Storm", an indestructible Maverick is used as Massimo Torini's mode of transport, sporting a uniquely jet black color with two white stripes. The helicopter can be obtained in the PSP version as the helicopter makes a stopover at Chinatown.
- During "The Passion of the Heist", when a fireproof Maverick is flown by a gang that stole diamonds. The helicopter can be obtained.
- During "Sayonara Sindaccos", there's a dark Sindacco Maverick nearly at the end of the mission, which is shot down by Toni.
- During "Caught in the Act", which features a fireproof "Secret Service", pure black Maverick.
- During "False Idols", when a Maverick is used to transport actress Faith W. to the Liberty City Free Radio station. The helicopter is obtainable.
- During "Cash in Kazuki's Chips", which features a bullet/explosion-proof Maverick belonging to Kazuki Kasen. The helicopter is obtainable
- During "The Sicilian Gambit", when a Maverick is used by Massimo to launch an assault on the player at the Portland Rock lighthouse is required to be shot down. The helicopter is vulnerable to damage.
Other than the aformentioned missions, the Maverick can otherwise be obtainable by using cheat devices or third party trainers.
GTA Vice City Stories
- On the helipad near Hyman Memorial Stadium.
- Near the helipad in Escobar International Airport (activates Vice Sights mission as you enter).
- Alderney City heliport, above the Alderney exit of the Booth Tunnel.
- Private helipad at a mansion on Owl Creek Ave in Westdyke, Alderney.
- Roof of the MeTV skyscraper in Star Junction, Algonquin. Its roof can be accessed via a window-cleaner's lift on the west end next to Kunzite Street or by flying there using another helicopter. Only spawns occasionally. Replaced by the Annihilator after killing all 200 Pigeons.
- On a helipad in front of a waterfront tunnel ventilation tower on the western edge of Purgatory, Algonquin. Only spawns occasionally.
- Helipad of the Tudor, Alderney fire station in south-west Alderney.

Located in the West Farms neighborhood of the Bronx, the 174th Street Playground is named after the adjacent 174th Street. This section of 174th St was originally known as Beacon Avenue. The section from the Concourse to Webster Avenue was once called Spring Street, while the section in Morrisania was once called 12th Street. This playground was built as a part of the Bronx River Houses housing project. The land for both was acquired by the city in 1948 by condemnation; the playground opened on September 14, 1950, and the housing complex was completed soon after on February 28, 1951. The complex is named after the adjacent Bronx River.

Sexting, a scary new trend where teens send nude or semi-nude photos via cell phone, is popping up throughout the country. Children can be prosecuted and marked as criminals for the rest of their lives if they're caught with a provocative photo on their cell phone. Could your child be participating in this act? Are you aware of what your child is doing online? The following programs can help you monitor your kids' cell phone and Internet activity:
Professional locator and father of eight Troy Dunn has partnered with a software firm to develop this powerful tool for parents. Install this on the computer you'd like to monitor — from anywhere in the world. DadGuard recordings are organized into an easy-to-read Activity Report that is automatically sent to any email address you choose, as often as you'd like. You'll receive an exact copy of their emails, chats and instant messages, as they occur.
This is an application you install on your child's cell phone. Once the program is running, you can log into the Web site and watch all incoming and outgoing calls, text messages, e-mails and Web browsing history. You can select a certain phone number and block any activity to that number as well, so if you suspect suspicious communication, you can make sure your child cannot text, e-mail or call that person.
Watch a report on this program, by senior editor at CNET Natali Del Conte.
My Mobile Watchdog
This is also an application that you install on a cell phone. On its Web site, It gives you a listing of all activity on a given phone. It also alerts you if calls or messages come in from a specific number. For instance, if you see a suspicious or unauthorized person calling, texting, or e-mailing your child, that call is routed through the My Mobile Watchdog Data Center. Notifications are then sent to all persons you have established from your Web application, such as parents, teachers, police, etc. From your Web application or mobile phone application, you can see all suspicious activity, along with full content, including images. You can also print out reports to pass on to law enforcement or school officials.
iWonder Surf
This computer application lets you control and monitor the Web sites your child is visiting. You can not only see where they go, but when, how often and what they are seeing. You can logon to obtain a log of their activity. Every time they go to a Web site, it records it and instantly sends traffic reports to you.
Location-Based Programs
All of these programs use a combination of GPS (Global Positioning System) and cell tower triangulation to pinpoint your exact location. If you install Whirrl, you can see where your friends and family are on a map from your mobile phone. The participating parties all have to agree to this, but if they do, you can see where they are, when they were there and perhaps a photo or status update that they posted. It is fairly accurate in areas where cell phone coverage is good, but not always.
Watch Natali's report on how this works.

Thanks to a retired Fort Carson soldier who told me about this scam.
It showed up in his inbox earlier this month.
The email appears to be from the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles.
It claims you've made a payment of $100.14 and says if you have any questions, click on a link.
But don't do it. I talked to authorities in Florida and they tell me it's a scam aimed at getting your banking information.
I'm told clicking on the link could infect your computer, giving the bad guys access to information you have stored there like your name, address, credit card, and other personal information.
To protect yourself make sure you have anti-virus software and keep it updated. Just remember, don't click on anything that doesn't look familiar.

The Coulter Bridge reconstruction will be fast-tracked so it will be completed by November 2013 for approximately $10 million, Manitoba Infrastructure and Transportation Minister Steve Ashton said Wednesday.
The area's MLA, Larry Maguire questioned how it could be fast tracked, when that was the promised completion date anyway, and area residents including Shirley Kernaghan are happy that the bridge is being built at all.

- For the street sweeping vehicle in GTA San Andreas, see Sweeper. For street sweepers seen on the streets in GTA IV, see Liberty Sanitation Department.
Street Sweeper is a mission for Manny Escuela in Grand Theft Auto IV. Manny wants the streets "cleaned" and sends you to hit some thugs in a garage. The mission introduces drive-by shooting to the player.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Go to Windmill Street.
- Clean out the gang members.
- They are trying to escape in a car, don't let them get away.
Head over to the nearby car repair shop on Windmill St. Stay in your vehicle, because some of the gang members will try to escape in a car. Chase the car and ignore the gang members in the garage for now. Shoot the driver quickly, put it in flames as fast as you can because if the car gets out of range of the car shop, the mission will fail. Once the gang members in the car are dead, head back to the garage and finish the gang members inside. The cops will probably be on you by now, so be careful when you head back to the garage; the cops and gang members in the garage will both be shooting at you. But, if you're lucky, the gang members shooting at you will attract the cops' attention and the police will start firing at them. Whatever happens, when everyone is dead, the mission is passed.
To finish the mission quickly, it is essential to avoid the car chase. There are several ways to go about this; if you have a hand grenade, you can kill most, if not all, of the targets almost instantly by simply throwing it near the car. If you have a Micro-SMG, you can perform a drive-by on the driver of the Primo through the windshield. Another option is simply blocking the escaping car's way with your vehicle (this is much less dangerous if you are in possession of a vehicle like the Fire Truck or Trashmaster, which will protect you from gunfire). Another way is to take cover behind a railway pillar by the corner of the street, which gives you a good vantage point to manually aim for the driver with any weapon.
Video Walkthrough
Niko will call Manny Escuela, asking for his money, in which Manny will comply.
Mallorie Bardas will call Niko, saying that Elizabeta Torres has work for him (Luck of the Irish).
- $1000
- Drive-by shooting
- If the player approaches the gang members in a car, but you don't have any weapons, you will receive a free pistol with 20 bullets.
- This is the first appearance of Francis McReary.
- Shortly after completing this mission, Mallorie will call Niko to say that Elizabeta Torres has work for him. Her apartment in South Bohan will appear on the map.

About the Show
This summer NBC is offering up a rowdy family vacation with its new one-hour dramedy "Camp."
Off the grid and miles from civilization, Little Otter Family Camp has summer fun for everyone. Parents decompress over gin and tonics while their kids run wild, and teenage counselors fall in and out of love.
Mackenzie Granger (Rachel Griffiths, "Six Feet Under," "Muriel's Wedding") is the camp owner and director. Still reeling from her recent divorce, Mackenzie is ready for a fresh start. She is running things on her own for the first time and scrambling to keep the cash-strapped Little Otter from going under. She considers a buyout offer from Roger Shepard (Rodger Corser, "Underbelly"), the arrogant but sexy owner of the upscale camp across the lake. Despite her better judgment, their love-hate relationship quickly escalates. Meanwhile, she begins to realize that her charming but much younger handyman, Cole (Nikolai Nikolaeff, "Sea Patrol"), might be interested in more than just a professional relationship.
In the midst of all this, Mackenzie is struggling to be a single parent to her son Buzz (Charles Grounds), a counselor-in-training at Little Otter this year. A brash, exuberant oddball, Buzz commits himself to losing his virginity by the end of the summer. He makes fast friends with Kip Wampler (Thom Green, "Dance Academy"), a more reserved fellow CIT who is hiding a secret. Kip has fallen hard for Marina Barker (Lily Sullivan, "Mental"), a gorgeous, misunderstood CIT who has come to camp to reinvent herself.
Senior counselors Robbie Matthews (Tim Pocock, "X-Men Origins: Wolverine") and Sarah Brennen (Dena Kaplan, "Dance Academy") met as youngsters at Little Otter and have fallen in love over the years. The two pick up every summer where they left off, but when the sexy, older writer of Sarah's favorite book moves in across the lake, their relationship suddenly gets a lot more complicated.
Summer is short and sweet. It's a magical time where we cut loose, get lucky and make the memories we keep with us for the rest of our lives.
Liz Heldens ("Friday Night Lights") and Peter Elkoff ("Deception") are the creators of "Camp." They serve as executive producers with Gail Berman, Lloyd Braun and Eugene Stein.
"Camp" is produced by Selfish Mermaid, BermanBraun and Matchbox Pictures in association with NBCUniversal International Television Production.

Award for the Grande Reverso Lady Ultra-Thin in Poland
The second edition of the "Watch of the Year" competition came to a happy end. Winners received their commemorative statuettes during the dinner-gala on December 9th in Warsaw. Jaeger-LeCoultre convinced the jury, the polish consumers and the readers from www.chronos24.pl and won the first prize in the category Ladies Watch with the Grande Reverso Lady Ultra Thin. All the aesthetic codes of the Reverso are sublimated within this ultra-thin ladies' version. The proportions of the case, the gadroons, the chapter ring, the numerals and the hands remain faithful to the Reverso spirit while proudly proclaiming their womanly charm. From the new cambered cradle or carrier to the new metal bracelet, each detail has been feminised, softened and rounded to endow this watch with a new face, a new character, and a new seduction. To ensure optimal comfort, the designers of this Reverso have made it ultra-thin (at just 7.2 mm thick), light and gently curved to mould the feminine wrist. Tomasz Kiełtyka, MD chronos24.pl: "This year's 'Watch of the Year' competition brought many more public votes than a year ago. This is the best proof of the increasing popularity of the event, which – I hope – will result in rising interest in watchmaking art". We would like to thank all for their vote and trust in our brand.

May 2, 2016
Both sides are set to meet Monday in a last ditch attempt to avert a strike.
The only sticking point in negotiations is the 5 to 2 policy. This allows teachers to have five periods to teach and two periods to plan. It's the wording of that policy that's at the center of the negotiations. It's hard to find teachers for all the courses so some teach an extra class in emergency situations, but teachers say they're aggravated that teaching 6 hours comes up each year. The district says all teachers have to do is say no.
Both sides meet Monday night. If no agreement is reached teachers will be on strike Tuesday.

"We had a spiritual retreat with the academy, and God poured Himself out. For five hours these students just studied the Bible. We gave them the opportunity to leave, but they wanted to stay, and we were all just bombarded with Jesus. That's the kind of event that has had a year-long effect on these kids."

The Politics of Climate Change
Global warming has become a highly charged political issue. The players in the climate change drama cast into different roles. It seems like you must be a Democrat to be interested in combating global warming, or if you're a Republican, you cannot be environmentally motivated.
"The Earth's climate does not care whether you are a Democrat or a Republican. It doesn't care whether you're liberal or conservative. Climate change will affect all Americans no matter what your political beliefs, your religious beliefs, your race, class, creed, et cetera, okay. And in the end, the only way we're going to deal with this issue is if we come together as a country and have a serious conversation, not about is it real. But what can we do about it," Anthony Leiserowitz, Director of the Yale Project on Climate Change Communication and a Research Scientist at the School of Forestry and Environmental Studies at Yale University said in an episode titled, "Encore: Ending the Silence on Climate Change" this month on Bill Moyer & Company.
For many years fossil fuel company interests have waged an active disinformation campaign that has borne fruit for them. They learned well from tobacco war strategy, which was to make people believe the science isn't clear and that the experts do not agree. This leads the average person to reserve judgment on climate change. They aren't likely to take global warming seriously until it seems that the experts reach a conclusion. Unfortunately that day will be long coming because these big, powerful companies will continue to spread misinformation.
The climate change disinformation campaign has spread so far that it's even affected politics. In last year's presidential election the question was, "If we focus on protecting the environment, won't that harm the economy?" The truth is that there is no inherent contradiction. The U.S. could, in fact, lead the Green Industrial Revolution.
What is also interesting is that Republicans weren't always painted with the not caring about global warming brush. They actually led the charge on issues such as acid rain. President George H.W. Bush passed cap and trade legislation on sulfur dioxide. It was one of the most successful environmental programs in American history, and it was accomplished at a cost far below even best guess estimates at the time.
The answer to the politicization of climate change is that the U.S. needs a groundswell of grassroots movement for environmental change. We need to get organized and demand change of our politicians. This country's political system simply is not conducive to making the changes itself to deal with the global warming crisis we desperately need. Let's take partisan gridlock out of the picture. We can begin by mobilizing and directing the 16 percent of Americans that are the Alarmed, defined in my last post on climate change communication, but are unsure what to do to make a difference in climate change.
Hearts Launches Sustainable Fashion Site with CarbonFree® Shipping
According to a study by the International Journal of Environmental, Cultural, Economic, and Social Sustainability, the issue of sustainability is increasingly important in the apparel industry. Environmentally-conscious fashion designers and retailers are moving away from the wasteful trend of "fast fashion" to focus on eco-fashion practices.
New CarbonFree® Shipping Partner Hearts believes that "conscious consumers create change," and that sustainable fashion is not only environmentally friendly, but also a means of artistic and cultural expression. As Hearts launches its sustainable fashion online store, it has chosen to embed a carbon neutral shipping program as part of its environmentally-responsible commitment.
Through the CarbonFree Shipping Program, Hearts calculates the carbon footprint associated with the inbound and outbound product shipping and makes a corresponding donation to support Carbonfund.org's projects that reduce carbon emissions, in order to lessen the impact of the carbon emissions created by any outbound shipping process. Hearts will be providing an immediate positive effect through investment back into reforestation projects, clean energy development and energy efficiency technologies.
"Hearts understands that environmental and economic sustainability is crucial with any e-commerce platform but especially in the world of fashion where it is our duty and responsibility to offset the carbon emissions when we can," stated Michelle Petro, president. She added, "We are thrilled to partner with Carbonfund.org because they too are our environmental change makers."
"Our CarbonFree Shipping Program offers a simple and affordable solution for responsible retailers such as Hearts to deliver their products worldwide in an environmentally sustainable way," adds Eric Carlson, President of Carbonfund.org. "The CarbonFree Shipping label will assure Hearts' customers that they're choosing to make purchases from a company that is committed to its mission of social consciousness."
