The trail would be an invitation to criminals and depress property values, its critics warned, and the proposal to build it over an old railroad bed set off tense debates at public meetings, close votes, and a lawsuit.
Now, nearly a decade since the 2.4-mile trail opened in Radnor Township, it is popular - even congested, at times - with walkers, runners, and bicyclists.
It is such a success, in fact, that Radnor is considering a long-range plan that would more than triple the length of trails through the township, connecting, and making use of, its open space.
The balance between open space and development is especially delicate in the wealthy Delaware County township, home to valuable Main Line real estate. The township's median home value of more than $597,000 ranks second in the region to Upper Makefield Township, Bucks County, according to the Nielsen 2014 service Inc.

Rocky Mount, NC—Local businesses, organizations, and churches that want to introduce themselves to hundreds of students and staff at North Carolina Wesleyan College may begin planning now to advertise free of charge at the college's Rock the Mount event on Monday, August 25.
"We expect to attract even more vendors to campus this year than last year, when we had about 30 exhibitors," said Tammy Robinson, coordinator of Rock the Mount. "This annual event is an excellent way for local businesses and organizations to make themselves known to Wesleyan personnel and students—especially the large number of new students and several new faculty that the college is expecting this fall.
"Most Wesleyan students will be returning to campus on Sunday, August 24. Classes will start on Tuesday. So Rock the Mount will be the main attraction on Monday from 11:30 to 1:30 p.m.," Robinson said. "Exhibitors also can enjoy a complimentary lunch with students at a community cookout next to the exhibit area. We're expecting a large turnout. This will be a very festive occasion and one that will help introduce the Wesleyan community to the Rocky Mount community. We hope to see this Rock the Mount event grow larger every year."
The college will provide six-foot folding tables and chairs for the exhibitors at no cost. Vendors may set up their displays on the lawn in front of the Dunn Center, beginning at 9:00 a.m. on the morning of August 25. The number of display spaces is limited. All who would like to participate must register online at http://www.rockthemountncwc.eventbrite.com. For questions, contact Tammy Robinson at email@example.com or at 252-985-5266.

Finding a digital marketing agency can be tricky for business owners who don't understand very how much about digital marketing and how it works. One of the most important forms of online marketing is search engine optimization (SEO). It is the art of getting organic and real free traffic to your website in order to increase sales.
In contrast to paid advertising, it is more complicated and rather difficult to implement. Finding the right Hawthorn SEO company is very important when it comes to this. You need to make sure that the Agency you hire can deliver results to you effectively. Make sure that you understand how long it is going to take results and have realistic expectations. Getting results with SEO hawthorn is something that requires time and patience, but when the results do come they are very powerful. People tend to ignore the ads and go to the original results that they are searching for in the search engines. When your business is in a position that makes your website more visible than your competitors, then traffic increases naturally and so will your sales.

Consequences of spinal pain: Do age and gender matter? A Danish cross-sectional population-based study of 34,902 individuals 20-71 years of age
Leboeuf-Yde, Charlotte
Fejer, René
Nielsen, Jan
Kyvik, Kirsten O
Hartvigsen, Jan
BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders
While low back pain (LBP) and neck pain (NP) have been extensively studied, knowledge on mid back pain (MBP) is still lacking. Furthermore, pain from these three spinal areas is typically studied or reported separately and in depth understanding of pain from the entire spine and its consequences is still needed.
To describe self-reported consequences of pain in the three spinal regions in relation to age and gender.
This was a cross-sectional postal survey, comprising 34,902 twin individuals, representative of the general Danish adult population. The variables of interest in relation to consequences of spinal pain were: Care-seeking, reduced physical activity, sick-leave, change in work situation, and disability pension.
Almost two-thirds of individuals with spinal pain did not report any consequence. Generally, consequences due to LBP were more frequently reported than those due to NP or MBP. Regardless of area of complaint, care seeking and reduced physical activities were the most commonly reported consequences, followed by sick-leave, change of work, and disability pension. There was a small mid-life peak for care-seeking and a slow general increase in reduced activities with increasing age. Increasing age was not associated with a higher reporting of sick-leave but the duration of the sick-leave increased somewhat with age. Disability pension due to spinal pain was reported exceedingly rare before the age of 50. Typically, women slightly more often than men reported some kind of consequences due to spinal pain.
Most people reporting spinal pain manage without any serious consequences. Low back pain more commonly results in some kind of consequence when compared to NP and MBP. Few age-related trends in consequences were seen with a slight predominance of women reporting consequences.

Stability of low back pain reporting over 8 years in a general population aged 40/41 years at base-line: data from three consecutive cross-sectional surveys
Lemeunier, Nadège
Leboeuf-Yde, Charlotte
Kjaer, Per
Gagey, Olivier
BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders
A recent review on the natural course of low back pain (LBP) in the general population indicated that the LBP reporting pattern is fairly constant over time. Furthermore, the LBP status at baseline (yes/no) seems to be predictive of the future course. When fluctuations occur, they seem most common between the nearest categories. However, in the majority of articles, non-responders were not taken into account in the analyses or interpretation of data, meaning that estimates may have been biased. Further, all reviewed studies included study participants of many different age groups. Data from three cross-sectional surveys over 8 years of the same cohort made it possible to answer the following questions: 1) Would the prevalence estimates of LBP be stable over time? 2) How would results change when taking into account non-responders? 3) Is the LBP reporting over the three survey periods stable at an individual level, taking into account also the non-responding group?
Data from three subsequent cross-sectional surveys of a study sample were available and questions about LBP were asked at baseline and also 4 and 8 years later. Study participants were 40/41 years at base-line and initially randomly selected from the general Danish population. Data were analyzed with STATA/IC 12, and presented with percentages and 95% confidence intervals.
The majority of participants reported to have had LBP in the preceding year but not having taken sick leave in relation to this pain. LBP was stable or relatively stable for the study participants as they progressed through their fifth decade. This was true on a population basis and also on an individual level. When non-responders were taken into account the results did not change.
This study confirmed the results from our recent review; both presence and absence of LBP seem to be predictive for the future course. The percentage of non-responders in this type of study may not be as important as previously thought in relation to the presence/absence of LBP.

Is the presence of Modic changes associated with the outcomes of different treatments? A systematic critical review
Jensen, Rikke K
Leboeuf-Yde, Charlotte
BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders
Modic changes (MCs) have been identified as a diagnostic subgroup associated with low back pain (LBP). The aetiology of MCs is still unknown and there is no effective treatment available. If MCs constitute a specific subgroup of LBP, it seems reasonable to expect different effects from different treatments. The objective of this systematic critical literature review was therefore to investigate if there is evidence in the literature that the presence of MCs at baseline is associated with a favourable outcome depending on the treatment provided for LBP.
The databases MEDLINE and EMBASE were searched for relevant articles from 1984 to December 2010. A checklist including items related to the research questions and quality of the articles was used for data extraction and quality assessment. Of the 1650 articles found, five (six studies) were included in this review but because the studies were so heterogeneous, the results have been reported separately for each study.
The treatments studied were: lumbar epidural steroid injections (n = 1), lumbar intradiscal steroid injections (n = 2), lumbar disc replacement (n = 1), fusion surgery (n = 1) and exercise therapy (n = 1). One of the two studies investigating treatment with intradiscal steroid injections and the study investigating fusion surgery reported that MCs were positively associated with the outcomes of pain and disability. The other study on lumbar intradiscal steroid injections and the study on lumbar epidural steroid injections reported mixed results, whereas the study on lumbar disc replacement and the study on exercise therapy reported that MCs were not associated with the outcomes of pain and disability.
The available studies on the topic were too few and too heterogeneous to reach a definitive conclusion and it is therefore still unclear if MCs may be of clinical importance when guiding or prescribing the 'right' treatment for a patient with LBP.

Several researchers have searched for subgroups in the heterogeneous population of patients with non-specific low back pain (LBP). To date, subgroups have been identified based on psychological profiles and the variation of pain.
This multicentre prospective observational study explored the 6- month clinical course with measurements of bothersomeness that were collected from weekly text messages that were sent by 176 patients with LBP. A hierarchical cluster analysis, Ward's method, was used to cluster patients according to the development of their pain.
Four clusters with distinctly different clinical courses were described and further validated against clinical baseline variables and outcomes. Cluster 1, a "stable" cluster, where the course was relatively unchanged over time, contained young patients with good self- rated health. Cluster 2, a group of "fast improvers" who were very bothered initially but rapidly improved, consisted of patients who rated their health as relatively poor but experienced the fewest number of days with bothersome pain of all the clusters. Cluster 3 was the "typical patient" group, with medium bothersomeness at baseline and an average improvement over the first 4-5 weeks. Finally, cluster 4 contained the "slow improvers", a group of patients who improved over 12 weeks. This group contained older individuals who had more LBP the previous year and who also experienced most days with bothersome pain of all the clusters.
It is possible to define clinically meaningful clusters of patients based on their individual course of LBP over time. Future research should aim to reproduce these clusters in different populations, add further clinical variables to distinguish the clusters and test different treatment strategies for them.

Prevalence and tracking of back pain from childhood to adolescence
Kjaer, Per
Wedderkopp, Niels
Korsholm, Lars
Leboeuf-Yde, Charlotte
BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders
It is generally acknowledged that back pain (BP) is a common condition already in childhood. However, the development until early adulthood is not well understood and, in particular, not the individual tracking pattern. The objectives of this paper are to show the prevalence estimates of BP, low back pain (LBP), mid back pain (MBP), neck pain (NP), and care-seeking because of BP at three different ages (9, 13 and15 years) and how the BP reporting tracks over these age groups over three consecutive surveys.
A longitudinal cohort study was carried out from the years of 1997 till 2005, collecting interview data from children who were sampled to be representative of Danish schoolchildren. BP was defined overall and specifically in the three spinal regions as having reported pain within the past month. The prevalence estimates and the various patterns of BP reporting over time are presented as percentages.
Of the 771 children sampled, 62%, 57%, and 58% participated in the three back surveys and 34% participated in all three. The prevalence estimates for children at the ages of 9, 13, and 15, respectively, were for BP 33%, 28%, and 48%; for LBP 4%, 22%, and 36%; for MBP 20%, 13%, and 35%; and for NP 10%, 7%, and 15%. Seeking care for BP increased from 6% and 8% at the two youngest ages to 34% at the oldest. Only 7% of the children who participated in all three surveys reported BP each time and 30% of these always reported no pain. The patterns of development differed for the three spinal regions and between genders. Status at the previous survey predicted status at the next survey, so that those who had pain before were more likely to report pain again and vice versa. This was most pronounced for care-seeking.
It was confirmed that BP starts early in life, but the patterns of onset and development over time vary for different parts of the spine and between genders. Because of these differences, it is recommended to report on BP in youngsters separately for the three spinal regions, and to differentiate in the analyses between the genders and age groups. Although only a small minority reported BP at two or all three surveys, tracking of BP (particularly NP) and care seeking was noted from one survey to the other. On the positive side, individuals without BP at a previous survey were likely to remain pain free at the subsequent survey.

Low back pain in military recruits in relation to social background and previous low back pain. A cross-sectional and prospective observational survey

Weidick, Flemming

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders
Traditionally, studies on the etiology of low back pain have been carried out in adult populations. However, since low back pain often appears early in life, more research on young populations is needed. This study focuses on the importance of social background factors and previous low back pain in the development of low back pain in military recruits.
During a three-month period, Danish military recruits with different social backgrounds live and work under the same conditions. Thus, there is an opportunity to investigate the influence of social background on the development of low back pain, when persons are removed from their usual environment and submitted to a number of new stressors. In addition, the importance of the recruits' previous low back pain history in relation to low back pain during military service was studied. This was done by means of questionnaires to 1,711 recruits before and after this three-month period.
Sedentary occupation was negatively associated with long-lasting low back pain (>30 days during the past year) at baseline with an odds ratios of 0.55 (95% CI: 0.33–0.90). This effect vanished during service. Having parents with higher education increased the risk of low back pain during service (OR: 1.9;1.2–3.0, for the highest educated group), but not of the consequences (leg pain and exemption from duty), whereas high IQ decreased the risk of these consequences (odds ratios as low as 0.2;0.1–0.8 for exemption from duty in the group with highest IQ). Long-lasting low back pain prior to service increased the risk of long-lasting low back pain (OR: 4.8;2.1–10.8), leg pain (OR: 3.3;1.3–8.3) and exemption from duty during service (OR: 5.9;2.4–14.8).
Sedentary occupation is negatively associated with low back pain at baseline. This protective effect disappears, when the person becomes physically active. For predicting trouble related to the low back during service, the duration of low back pain prior to service and IQ-level are the most important factors.

Pain in the lumbar, thoracic or cervical regions: do age and gender matter? A population-based study of 34,902 Danish twins 20–71 years of age

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders
It is unclear to what extent spinal pain varies between genders and in relation to age. It was the purpose of this study to describe the self-reported prevalence of 1) pain ever and pain in the past year in each of the three spinal regions, 2) the duration of such pain over the past year, 3) pain radiating from these areas, and 4) pain in one, two or three areas. In addition, 5) to investigate if spinal pain reporting is affected by gender and 6) to see if it increases gradually with increasing age.
A cross-sectional survey was conducted in 2002 on 34,902 twin individuals, aged 20 to 71 years, representative of the general Danish population. Identical questions on pain were asked for the lumbar, thoracic and cervical regions.
Low back pain was most common, followed by neck pain with thoracic pain being least common. Pain for at least 30 days in the past year was reported by 12%, 10%, and 4%, respectively. The one-yr prevalence estimates of radiating pain were 22% (leg), 16% (arm), and 5% (chest). Pain in one area only last year was reported by 20%, followed by two (13%) and three areas (8%).
Women were always more likely to report pain and they were also more likely to have had pain for longer periods. Lumbar and cervical pain peaked somewhat around the middle years but the curves were flatter for thoracic pain. Similar patterns were noted for radiating pain. Older people did not have pain in a larger number of areas but their pain lasted longer.
Pain reported for and from the lumbar and cervical spines was found to be relatively common whereas pain in the thoracic spine and pain radiating into the chest was much less common. Women were, generally, more likely to report pain than men. The prevalence estimates changed surprisingly little over age and were certainly not more common in the oldest groups, although the pain was reported as more long-lasting in the older group.

Self-reported hard physical work combined with heavy smoking or overweight may result in so-called Modic changes
Leboeuf-Yde, Charlotte
Kjær, Per
Bendix, Tom
Manniche, Claus
BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders
Recently, the MRI finding of "Modic changes" has been identified as pathologic spinal condition that probably reflects a vertebral inflammatory process (VIP), which coincides with spinal pain in most. We hypothesized that heavy smoking in combination with macro- or repeated microtrauma could lead to VIP. The objectives were to investigate if combinations of self-reported heavy smoking, hard physical work, and overweight would be more strongly linked with VIP than with other spinal conditions, such as degenerated discs and non-specific low back pain (LBP).
Secondary analysis was made of a data base pertaining to a population-based cross-sectional study. A population-generated cohort of 412 40-yr old Danes provided questionnaire information on smoking, weight, height, type of work, and LBP. MRI was used to determine the presence/absence of disc degeneration and of VIP. Associations were tested between three explanatory variables (type of work, smoking, and body mass index) and four outcome variables (LBP in the past year, more persistent LBP in the past year, disc degeneration, and VIP). Associations with these four outcome variables were studied for each single explanatory variable and for combinations of two at a time, and, finally, in a multivariable analysis including all three explanatory variables.
There were no significant associations between the single explanatory variables and the two pain variables or with disc degeneration. However, VIP was found in 15% of non-smokers vs. 26% of heavy smokers. Similarly, VIP was noted in 11% of those in sedentary jobs vs. 31% of those with hard physical work. Further, the prevalence of VIP in those, who neither smoked heavily nor had a hard physical job was 13%, 25% in those who either smoked heavily or had a hard physical job, and 41% in those who both smoked heavily and worked hard. The odds ratio was 4.9 (1.6–13.0) for those who were both heavy smokers and had a hard physical job as compared to those who were classified as "neither". Similar but weaker findings were noted for the combination of overweight and hard physical work but not for the combination of smoking and overweight.
Hard physical work in combination with either heavy smoking or overweight is strongly associated with VIP. If this finding can be reproduced in other studies, it may have consequences in relation to both primary and secondary prevention of LBP, because blue collar workers, who are most likely to experience the consequences of LBP, also are those who are most likely to smoke.

Coping and back problems: analysis of multiple data sources on an entire cross-sectional cohort of Swedish military recruits
Leboeuf-Yde, Charlotte
Larsen, Kristian
Ahlstrand, Ingvar
Volinn, Ernest
BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders
As the literature now stands, a bewildering number and variety of biological, psychological and social factors are, apparently, implicated in back problems. However, if and how these have a direct influence on back problems is not clear. Obesity, for example, has in many studies been shown to be associated with back problems but there is no evidence for a causal link. This could be explained by a dearth of suitably designed studies but also because obesity may be but a proxy for some other, truly explanatory variable. Coping has been linked with, particularly, persistent back problems as well as with health in general. The question is, whether coping could be the explanatory link between, for example, these two variables. A cross-sectional study was undertaken using data from the Swedish Army, consisting of the entire cohort of males (N = 48,502) summoned in 1998 to serve in the military. The purpose of the study was to investigate the relation between five independent variables and two dependent variables ("outcome variables"). The independent variables were two anthropomorphic variables (height and body mass index), two psychological variables (intellectual capacity and coping in relation to stress), and one social variable (type of education). The two outcome variables were back problems and ill health. In particular, we wanted to determine whether controlling for coping would affect the associations between the other four independent variables and the two outcome variables.
Data for the analysis come from a battery of standardized examinations, including medical examinations, a test of intellectual capacity, and a test of coping in relation to stress. Each of these examinations was conducted independently of the others. Unadjusted and adjusted odds ratios were calculated for the outcome variables of back problems and ill health.
The associations between height, body mass index, intellectual capacity, type of education and the two outcome variables (back problems and ill health) were weak to moderate. Additionally, there were strong associations between coping and the two outcome variables and when controlling for coping the previously noted associations diminished or disappeared, whereas none of the other variables had a large effect on the association between coping and the two outcome variables.
Coping emerged as strongly associated with both back problem and ill health and coping had a leveling effect on the associations between the other independent variables and the two outcome variables. This study is noteworthy particularly because the association with coping is so robust. It is a retrospective, cross-sectional study, however, and, as such it raises questions of causality; which – if any – came first, inability to cope or back pain? The results of this study call attention to the need for a prospective study, in which coping is clearly defined. Such a study has been undertaken and will be presented separately.

Is comorbidity in adolescence a predictor for adult low back pain? A prospective study of a young population
Hestbaek, Lise
Leboeuf-Yde, Charlotte
Kyvik, Kirsten O
BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders
It has previously been shown that low back pain (LBP) often presents already in the teenage years and that previous LBP predicts future LBP. It is also well documented that there is a large degree of comorbidity associated with LBP, both in adolescents and adults. The objective of this study is to gain a deeper insight into the etiology of low back pain and to possibly develop a tool for early identification of high-risk groups. This is done by investigating whether different types of morbidity in adolescence are associated with LBP in adulthood.
Almost 10,000 Danish twins born between 1972 and 1982 were surveyed by means of postal questionnaires in 1994 and again in 2002. The questionnaires dealt with various aspects of general health, including the prevalence of LBP, classified according to number of days affected during the previous year (0, 1–7, 8–30, >30). The predictor variables used in this study were LBP, headache, asthma and atopic disease at baseline; the outcome variable was persistent LBP (>30 days during the past year) at follow-up. Associations between morbidity in 1994 and LBP in 2002 were investigated.
LBP, headache and asthma in adolescence were positively associated with future LBP. There was no association between atopic disease and future LBP. Individuals with persistent LBP at baseline had an odds ratio of 3.5 (2.8–4.5) for future LBP, while the odds ratio for those with persistent LBP, persistent headache and asthma was 4.5 (2.5–8.1). There was a large degree of clustering of these disorders, but atopic disease was not part of this pattern.
Young people from 12 to 22 years of age with persistent LBP during the previous year have an odds ratio of 3.5 persistent LBP eight years later. Both headache and asthma are also positively associated with future LBP and there is a large clustering of LBP, headache and asthma in adolescence.

Are lifestyle-factors in adolescence predictors for adult low back pain? A cross-sectional and prospective study of young twins
Hestbaek, Lise
Leboeuf-Yde, Charlotte
Kyvik, Kirsten Ohm
BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders
With more than half of the population experiencing low back pain (LBP) before the age of 20, research must focus on young populations. Lifestyle-factors might be important elements of prevention, since they are modifiable in nature. Therefore, the objective of the present study is to investigate the association between smoking, alcohol consumption and overweight in adolescence and 1) present LBP (cross-sectionally) and 2) the risk of future LBP (longitudinally).
Data from 9,600 twins, aged 12–22, were analysed cross-sectionally with respect to associations between the above-mentioned lifestyle-factors and LBP. Eight years later, a follow-up survey (n = 6,554) was conducted and LBP at follow-up was correlated to the lifestyle-factors at baseline. Finally, the associations found to be significant were tested in a twin-control study design.
Our cross-sectional study demonstrated small, but statistically significant, positive associations between all three investigated life-style factors and LBP. In the longitudinal study, smoking at baseline showed a monotonic dose-response relationship with LBP at follow-up (OR up to 4.0 for those smoking >20 cig./day). There was also evidence of temporality (smoking preceding LBP). Adult LBP was negatively associated with adolescent alcohol consumption. We found no evidence of a dose-response relationship or temporality. There were no associations detected between adolescent overweight and adult LBP. In the twin-control study, the directions of associations were the same, but none of these associations attained statistical significance.
Several of the Bradford Hill criteria for causality were fulfilled for smoking whereas the crucial aspect of temporality was missing for alcohol consumption and overweight. The twin-control study failed to confirm a statistically significant link between smoking and LBP.

There is a large increase in back pain reporting in the early teens. In no previous study has the prevalence of low back pain been investigated in relation to the onset of puberty. The objective of this study was to establish whether the onset of puberty is associated with back pain reporting in young girls.
A subsample of 254 girls aged 8–10 years and 165 girls aged 14–16 years from a cross-sectional survey of 481 children aged 8–10 years and 325 adolescents aged 14–16 years of both sexes.
Main outcome measures were back pain defined as low back pain, mid back pain, and/or neck pain in the past month.
Other variables of interest were Puberty (five different stages), age, body mass index, and smoking. Independent information on onset of puberty was obtained through a physical examination and on back pain through an individual structured interview. The association was studied between onset of puberty and the outcome variable (the one month period prevalence of back pain), controlling for overweight, and smoking. Odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals were used to describe bivariate associations, logistic regression with robust standard errors was used for multivariate analyses.
There is a highly significant trend for increased back pain reporting with increasing level of puberty until maturity is reached. The biggest leap appears between the second level (beginning of puberty) and the third level (mid puberty) and the findings remain after controlling for the covariates. These results emanate from the low back, whereas pain in the mid back and neck do not seem to be linked with pubertal stage.
In girls, the reporting of low back pain increases in frequency during puberty until maturity, regardless of age. Why some girls are susceptible to back pain in the early stage of puberty is unknown.

Milk isn't on the ingredients list. How much milk do you use?
This sounds delicious.
With Husband Peter (cheese hater extraordinaire) out of town last week, I decided to look on the bright side: I can watch chick flicks without listening to him groan and I can make all the foods he doesn't like.
#1 most perplexing and difficult food that he won't eat: cheese.
I rarely eat mac n' cheese, and pretty much never reach for the Kraft box, but if I were the Kraft mac n' cheese type, I would totally ditch it for the recipe below.
I like making this with rotini because the cheese clings really well to it. You can try different types of pasta and different types of cheeses for some variety. I used whole wheat pasta and it didn't taste healthy at all.
I also would support adding tomatoes, peppers or broccoli to the dish.
This would also work well as a side dish with fried chicken or another Southern comfort food (not to be confused with Southern Comfort food).
Anyone else decide boxed macaroni just won't cut it after trying it homemade?

With Organized Team Activities (OTAs) ending yesterday and training camp coming up in about a month, all eyes are on the Philadelphia Eagles to see whether they can rebound from last season's humiliation. The "Dream Team" wasn't supposed to go 8-8.
Now, however, it seems as though the team has turned over a new leaf with an exciting front office shakeup, the most productive draft in years, and offseason signings and trades that have fans raring to go.
There were a lot of interesting story lines from OTAs, whether it be regarding the incredible play of Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie or the chemistry developing between starting safeties Kurt Coleman and Nate Allen.
There is still a lot to be decided, however, and here are five important position battles that won't be decided until training camp, the preseason, or early in the regular season.

According to Shalom Auslander, God is a four-letter word. Or, to be more exact, he's taken to referring to the holiest of holies as "you fucking fuck." (OK, that's 14 letters.) And really, who can blame him? God is after his unborn son, and may very well slay his wife, Orli, and their friends as well just for kicks. Estranged from his parents and still smarting from a childhood trapped in a strict Orthodox Jewish yeshiva, the author is writing a vengeful, unpublished collection of stories about the Lord, and he knows there will be hell to pay when he finishes. "I believe in a personal God," Auslander explains. "Everything I do, he takes personally."
Auslander's new memoir, Foreskin's Lament (Riverhead Books, 324 pages, $24.95), reveals both the paranoia of both the devout and those desperately trying not to believe. The book hopscotches between his repressed, fear-scented childhood in Monsey, N.Y., and his present—less repressed, but no less fearful—life as a thirtysomething writer in New York. His socially strict formative years are a far cry from that of the average American—after all, only a tiny percent of America's 7 million Jews identify as Orthodox. But his sharp, gallows-humor prose evokes universal sentiments of bitterness and—most richly drawn—guilt.
At age 8 he launches a campaign of cussing, masturbating and eating meat with milk in order to provoke God into killing his drunken father. At age 35, he attributes the increase of attacks on Israeli civilians to the progress he's making on his memoir. Choosing between rooting for the Rangers to win a TV hockey match and observing the Sabbath leads to his ultimate break from Judaism.
Listeners of Chicago Public Radio's This American Life have heard some of these stories before. Auslander's slow, deadpan voice has been featured on the show a half dozen times since 2004.
Still, the stories feel fresh, or at least like fresh wounds. Each chapter effectively illustrates another lesson in Auslander's personal Holy Book, whether it's the price one pays for eating Slim Jims or daydreaming about acts of sodomy on the subway.
The stories never stray far from the sacred-cow-slaying themes of his 2005 short-story collection, Beware of God , or the tone of bemused horror—at himself and everyday life—that infuses his magazine writing. But the grinding first-person narrative renders some of them that much more horrible.
His constant seesaw between rebellion and guilt gets repetitive, but at this point, let me confess: I am incapable of reading more than a few pages of Auslander's memoir without breaking out into a cold sweat. Not because I'm Jewish, or because I've sinned more than the average agnostic Portlander. It's because he nails that nagging feeling that life, as we know it, cannot possibly come without dire tradeoffs. He understands that a big part of living is the excruciating task of waiting for it all to go wrong—with or without God's help.

Orlando's Rosen Hotels & Resorts Once Again Named American Heart Association Gold Fit-Friendly Worksite
For more information, contact:
Mary Deatrick, DPR
(407) 718-4640, firstname.lastname@example.com
ORLANDO (March 11, 2015) – Rosen Hotels & Resorts is proud to announce that it has been named a Gold Fit-Friendly Worksite by the American Heart Association. This marks the 5th year that the Orlando-based independent hotel group has received this distinction.
To receive the gold level award, Rosen Hotels & Resorts fulfilled "key criteria" and demonstrated a "strong commitment to providing a healthy workplace for employees." As an American Heart Association Fit-Friendly Worksite, Rosen Hotels & Resorts will receive recognition on the association's website and local recognition at events and in communications materials. The hotel group also will be able to use the Fit-Friendly Worksite Gold Seal on its communications. Its associates may also take advantage of free tools such as the American Heart Association's online Activity Tracker.
The honor is just one of many bestowed upon Rosen Hotels & Resorts for its commitment to better health for its 4,600 associates and dependents. For more than 20 years, Rosen Hotels & Resorts has offered an innovative, in-house healthcare program for associates and dependents. In recent years, it added to that plan all students from the University of Central Florida's Rosen College of Hospitality Management. In November 2014, the hotel group partnered with Wal-Mart to provide free generic prescriptions for those covered on its in-house plan. And, in 2012, the hotel group opened a brand new associate medical facility, The Rosen Medical Center, A Place for Healing and Wellness, located on International Drive.
"We are honored that the American Heart Association has once again recognized Rosen Hotels & Resorts for our commitment to the health and well-being of our associates and their families," said Harris Rosen, President & COO, Rosen Hotels & Resorts. "We hope that our in-house healthcare model is an inspiration to other companies and individuals who want to take control of their greatest asset – their own health and that of their associates."
Features of Rosen Hotels & Resorts' associate healthcare program include an array of free preventative care opportunities such as annual physicals, comprehensive screening lab tests, well-baby care, pregnancy case management, weight management and dietician services, smoking cessation, flu shots and vaccines, mental health benefits, as well as exercise programs, classes and fitness groups.

ORLANDO (Jan. 23, 2015) – Orlando hotelier and philanthropist Harris Rosen, President & COO of Rosen Hotels & Resorts, received the Coretta Scott King A.N.G.E.L. Award at the 32nd Annual Salute to Greatness Awards Dinner presented by The King Center in Atlanta. The King Center, formally known as The Martin Luther King, Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change, was established in 1968 by Mrs. Coretta Scott King. The awards ceremony took place on Jan. 17, 2015 (in observance of the late Dr. King's 86th birthday) at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Atlanta.
The awards event recognized just four honorees. The Salute to Greatness Award, one of the King Center's highest honors, was awarded to former President Bill Clinton, the 42nd president of the United States, and to Bernard J. Tyson, chairman and CEO of Kaiser Permanente. The Coretta Scott King A.N.G.E.L. (Advancing Nonviolence through Generations of Exceptional Leadership) Award was given to Harris Rosen and to Aidan Thomas Hornaday, founder of the Aidan Cares Foundation. The award is given in honor of and in keeping with the spirit of the late Coretta Scott King and recognizes a youth or young adult and a youth organization/initiative which exemplifies exceptional leadership in the areas of peace, social justice and nonviolent social change. The honor was established and awarded for the first time in 2013.
Rosen was being recognized for his more than 20 year commitment to the Tangelo Park Program, a three-fold educational community service initiative within the once drug- and crime-ridden Tangelo Park neighborhood of Orlando. In 1992, as Rosen was planning his seventh property, Rosen Shingle Creek, he was struck with an overwhelming sense of gratitude for his many blessings and decided it was time to give back to his community. By 1993, he had created the Tangelo Park Program, a personally funded concept. His innovative program provides free preschool for every two-, three-, and four-year-old child living in the neighborhood and a full community college or four-year college, or a vocational or technical school scholarship for every graduating high school senior. In addition, the program provides a Neighborhood Center for Families where parents can take parenting courses and obtain counseling and other resources to help them become positive role models for their children.
When Rosen created the Tangelo Park Program, the community's high school dropout rate was 43 percent higher than the national average. Not long after the program began, high school graduation rates soared with an almost zero dropout rate. To date, more than 280 young people have now attended college or vocational school. "I am so honored that the Tangelo Park Program has been recognized by The King Center and I am truly humbled to receive an award given in the spirit of Mrs. Coretta Scott King," said Rosen. "I will be happy to accept the honor on behalf of the Tangelo Park community and especially all of the youngsters who have worked so hard over the past 20 years to better themselves through the gift of education."
Established in 1968 by Mrs. Coretta Scott King, The Martin Luther King, Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change ("The King Center") has been a global destination, resource center and community institution for over a quarter century. Nearly a million people each year make pilgrimage to the National Historic Site to learn, be inspired and pay their respects to Dr. King's legacy. Both a traditional memorial and programmatic nonprofit, the King Center was envisioned by its founder to be "no dead monument, but a living memorial filled with all the vitality that was his, a center of human endeavor, committed to the causes for which he lived and died." That vision was carried out through educational and community programs until Mrs. King's retirement in the mid-1990s, and today it is being revitalized.
Celebrating more than 40 years in business, Rosen Hotels & Resorts comprises nearly 6,500 guest rooms at seven Orlando hotels: three convention properties – Rosen Plaza, Rosen Centre and Rosen Shingle Creek, as well as four value-priced leisure properties – Rosen Inn International; Rosen Inn, closest to Universal; Rosen Inn at Pointe Orlando; and Clarion Inn Lake Buena Vista.

Orlando's Rosen Shingle Creek Awarded Prestigious Three Palm Status in Florida DEP's Green Lodging Program
Award-Winning Convention Property Improves Conservation Efforts to Graduate from Two to Three Palm Designation

ORLANDO (Nov. 14, 2014) – Orlando's Rosen Shingle Creek is proud to announce that it has earned Three Palm Status in the Florida Department of Environmental Protection's (DEP) Green Lodging Program. The award-winning hotel has been designated a Two Palm property since 2008.
The voluntary initiative designates and recognizes lodging facilities that make a commitment to conserve and protect Florida's natural resources, offering designations at four levels. The program's environmental guidelines allow the hospitality industry to evaluate its operations, set goals and take specific actions to continuously improve environmental performance. To become designated, facilities must conduct a thorough property assessment and implement a specified number of environmental practices in five areas of sustainable operations: Communication and Education (Customers, Employees, Public); Waste Reduction, Reuse and Recycling; Water Conservation; Energy Efficiency; and Indoor Air Quality.
"We at Rosen Shingle Creek are proud to be named a Three Palm property and to demonstrate that environmental conservation and protection is not just a passing trend but a real priority for all of us at Rosen Hotels & Resorts," said Leslie Menichini, VP of Sales and Marketing, Rosen Hotels & Resorts Convention Properties. "We started this process before DEP's program began, and we plan to continue our efforts, exceeding the state's standards, because it's a cause to which we are deeply committed."
To earn Three Palm status, the 1,501-room convention and leisure property implemented several new programs and practices, on top of its existing energy-saving policies. Among them, its staff gives tours to college students and groups, speaks at outside conferences to promote green business practices, and promotes green meetings to incoming convention groups. The hotel provides a "green suggestions" box at the associate cafeteria and has dedicated an environmental section in its facility newsletter, as well as enrolling in Green Destination Orlando, a hospitality advocacy committee. Additionally, Rosen Shingle Creek instituted a reduced packaging policy, uses refillable containers instead of single-use packets/containers, and prints all advertising, educational and promotional pieces on recycled paper.
In terms of facilities, the hotel installed photo sensors on toilets, urinals and faucets; installed tap flow controllers with auto shut-off; and uses final rinse water as pre-rinse water for subsequent cycles in its Milnor Tunnel energy-efficient washing machines. Rosen Shingle Creek uses biodiesel from used cooking oil, an onsite renewable energy power source, and conducts periodic thermal imaging to look for leakages. A daily inspection of laundry exhaust vents, grounds equipment and vehicles keeps the machines running efficiently. The hotel uses LED exit lighting and programmable thermostats for HVAC, and also provides preferred parking locations for guests and staff driving fuel efficient vehicles. Rosen Hotels & Resorts is committed to conservation efforts in all its properties. The associate medical center, Rosen Medical Center, A Place for Healing and Wellness, was built in 2012 according to LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Certified standards as outlined by the U.S. Green Building Council. In 2007, Rosen Shingle Creek, along with its sister properties, Rosen Plaza and Rosen Center, were among the first 50 properties – the top one percent in Florida – to receive One Palm designation. All three properties achieved Two Palm status the following year. The 800-room Rosen Plaza and 1,334-room Rosen Centre have retained their Two Palm lodging status.

Lachlan Darr emerges dirty champion in bog-snorkelling event at Julia Creek Dirt 'n' Dust Festival
- From: Quest Newspapers
- April 29, 2013
Wavell Heights man Lachlan Darr knows how to win dirty.
Mr Darr, 27, has the crown as bog-snorkelling champion after showing some impressive form at the Julia Creek Dirt n Dust Festival in outback Queensland.
He'd been in Julia Creek to compete in its triathlon yesterday and decided to make the most of the trip by jumping in a shallow muddy trench and snorkeling 30m in 27.7 seconds to claim the bog-snorkelling title.
"I knew I was coming out for the Dirt n Dust Triathlon, but didn't realise there were all these other events," Mr Darr said.
"When I came across the bog snorkelling, I figured why not? It's one more thing I can tick off the bucket list.
"It's pretty tough in the trench, you can feel the bottom and it's a struggle to see or breathe, but I just put my head down and kept going.
"It's a bonus to walk away from a weekend with a national title."
Bog snorkelling originated in Wales.

Wade. Miss McDonald, the principal called... and she wants to know about the parade rehearsal this morning. Can she go ahead? Tell her we think so. But see if she can put it off until this afternoon. I'd sure feel better about that. Tattleman, I wanna put you on that parade. Call Miss McDonald and check what time she wants to schedule it. Not before 3:30 or 4:00. Right. Wade, we're on our way over to claim Everet's body at the hospital... but he has no next of kin, so we thought perhaps... I can do it. Right here. I had nobody else to ask, you know, about the funeral arrangements. Give us a couple of days. He was a... He was a Methodist. That's right.

Now that the NFL lockout is finally - finally - over, the Eagles and their fans can turn their attention to football and the initial moves the team will make this week: trading Kevin Kolb and improving its defense.
Dealing Kolb will be the Eagles' first order of business, and all signs point to the backup quarterback being sent to the Arizona Cardinals after trades are permitted Tuesday at 10 a.m.
The trade, first laid out by the teams before the draft when the lockout was briefly lifted, has Kolb heading to the Cardinals for cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. There are still details to work out, including the Eagles getting a 2012 draft pick in return. And other quarterback-needy teams, such as the Seattle Seahawks, could enter the discussion.

The Florida Department of Health and UF have partnered to create a virtual food safety center.
The Food Safety Center of Excellence is one of five national centers working with public health agencies, according to a College of Public Health and Health Professions press release.
Each of the national centers has a partnership with a university and a state department of health.
Carina Blackmore, a Florida Department of Health state epidemiologist, said the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention awarded UF and the state health department a $200,000 grant for the virtual center.
The national centers were established with the signing of the Food and Drug Administration Food Safety Modernization Act. The act calls for state and local participation to prevent foodborne illness outbreaks.
Michael Batz, head of food safety programs at UF's Emerging Pathogens Institute, said the UF component of the center will include training, outreach and research.
UF's Emerging Pathogens Institute and the Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences will be working with the center.
Blackmore said in the future, there will be opportunities to learn more and become better at detecting outbreaks.
"In Florida, we have over 6,000 human cases of salmonella each year," she said. "Many of the cases we investigate, we never find out exactly how they were infected."

Nuclear War and Environmental Catastropheby Noam Chomksy Laray Polk
"There are two problems for our species' survival--nuclear war and environmental catastrophe, " says Noam Chomsky in this new book on the two existential threats of our time and their points of intersection since World War II.While a nuclear strike would require action, environmental catastrophe is partially defined by willful inaction in response to human-induced climate change. Denial of the facts is only half the equation. Other contributing factors include extreme techniques for the extraction of remaining carbon deposits, the elimination of agricultural land for bio-fuel, the construction of dams, and the destruction of forests that are crucial for carbon sequestration.On the subject of current nuclear tensions, Chomsky revisits the long-established option of a nuclear-weapon-free zone (NWFZ) in the Middle East, a proposal set in motion through a joint Egyptian Iranian General Assembly resolution in 1974.Intended as a warning, Nuclear War and Environmental Catastrophe is also a reminder that talking about the unspeakable can still be done with humor, with wit and indomitable spirit.

2016 Photo Contest on Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women in Aviation
Judy Cameron Flies Through the Glass Ceiling
Judy Cameron Flies Through the Glass Ceiling
Judy Cameron is the epitome of "breaking the mold". During her successful career as the first female pilot hired by Air Canada, Judy shattered several stereotypes. Looking back, Judy refers to a few lucky breaks. But with sheer persistence, Judy made her own good luck.
Born in 1954 Judy was raised by a single parent mother, who did her best to give Judy a good start in life, including going to university. In 1973, after first year, Judy was hired by Transport Canada to survey pilots about "Itinerant Aircraft Movements". (Transport Canada found that pilots, mostly male, were quite willing to respond to young women questioners.) When a young man offered to take Judy for a flight, he did what many have done in similar situations – he turned the flight into an aerobatic demonstration – showing off, with little regard for his passenger. However, Judy loved it! Within a few weeks she applied for the aviation program at Selkirk College. No doubt she impressed the Director of the program, a motorcycle buff, by riding her motorcycle for eight hours (Vancouver to Castlegar) to meet him.
Though her male classmates accepted her reasonably well, as the only female in the class of thirty, Judy felt isolated at times. In 1975, the college's first female graduate, Judy then worked for several different aviation companies, and eventually earned her way into a cockpit. She first worked as a dispatcher when the company directors vetoed a female pilot flying company aircraft. Next she was a reservations agent who doubled as co-pilot with no training, when Twin Otter and Kingair trips required a co-pilot. Then she was a DC-3 co-pilot and Aztec/Cessna 180 Charter Pilot with minimal training and flew poorly maintained equipment with a company which went bankrupt. As a DC-3 Co-pilot with a Chief Pilot who only agreed to hire her because the "airlines will never look at you", she mostly flew charters, which included loading up to 6000 pounds of freight.
Judy then sought an airline job. She was thrilled to receive a telegram from a regional carrier offering her a position and inviting her to discuss the work. Upon arriving for the appointment, she was informed that the Vice President refused to hire a woman. The company apologetically unhired her.
Judy continued to apply to airlines and on April 10, 1978 Air Canada hired their first female pilot – Judy! No doubt her application was coloured by her 1200 hours on a DC-3, an 11,430 kg aircraft with two 1,200 hp engines which cruises at 370 km/hr.
Judy was well accepted by Air Canada's other pilots, likely because of her flying experience, determination and friendliness. Passengers frequently mistook Judy for a flight attendant, but she dealt graciously with them. Her first pregnancy gave Air Canada another challenge. They didn't have a pilot maternity uniform. Other pilots had never needed one. Soon after Judy's second daughter was born, she divorced and became a single mom.
During her 40 year flying career Judy has logged over 23,000 hours in the DC-3, Twin Otter, Hawker Siddeley 748, DC-9, Lockheed 1011, Airbus 320, Boeing 767 and 777. In 2006 Judy was the first woman captain of the Boeing 767 and in 2010 the first female captain of the Boeing 777 in Canada. She has flown to major international destinations including Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Tel Aviv, Santiago Chile, Sydney Australia, London, Paris, Frankfurt, Rome, Madrid, Barcelona,and most major Canadian and USA cities.
Issued a year after her May 24, 2015 retirement, the stamp features Captain Judy in front of a Boeing 767 in a photo taken by her husband Ron Swaisland. The First Day Cover, designed by Suzanne Wiltshire, includes portraits of Judy early and later in her career.
Now Judy is living another dream – aerobatic flying. she credits her mother as a strong role model who inspired her to believe she could do anything she wished to do. And in living her mother's credo, Judy is inspiring many other women, particularly those in aviation!
By Marilyn Dickson
The photo op, which Dutch airline captain Liz Jennings Clark at first thought was a joke or a parody,
was a curious publicity decision given that Breitling sponsors acrobatic and Air France 777 pilot Aude Lemordant.
"Certainly there are enough amazing women pilots out there," Jennings Clark said. "This is disappointing on so many levels."

House Republicans back coverage choices in health law they hate
WASHINGTON -- At the prodding of business organizations, House Republicans quietly secured a recent change in President Barack Obama's health law to expand coverage choices.
Democrats describe the change involving small-business coverage options as a straightforward improvement of the type they are eager to make, and Obama signed it into law. Republicans are loath to agree, given the strong sentiment among the rank and file that the only fix the law deserves is a burial.
"Maybe you say it helps (Obamacare), but it really helps the small businessman," said Rep. Phil Roe, R-Tenn., an advocate of repeal.
No member of the House GOP leadership has publicly hailed the fix, which was tucked, at Republicans' request, into legislation preventing a cut in payments to doctors who treat Medicare patients.
It is unclear how many members of the House rank and file knew of it because the legislation was passed by a highly unusual voice vote without debate.
Several lobbyists and Republican aides who monitored the issue said the provision reflects a calculation that no matter how hard the party tries, the earliest the law can be repealed is after Obama leaves office in 2017. In the meantime, according to this line of thinking, small-business owners need all the flexibility they can get to comply with it.
One repeal-favoring Republican lawmaker took a similar view. "I was brought up in a family of 12. My mother taught me to be patient," said Rep. Tom Reed of New York, who backed a stand-alone bill to make the same change.
The provision itself was relatively minor. It eliminated a cap on deductibles for small group policies offered inside the law's health care exchanges as well as outside.
Republicans said they sought it so small businesses can offer high-deductible plans that could be purchased by individuals who also have health savings accounts.

On Tap Today: It's cold again and there's stuff to do
It's nearly the end of the first month of this brand new year. We're pretty sure that means you can't wish someone "Happy New Year" or fiddle with those resolutions after tomorrow. In any case, it's a good time to offer good wishes and look over those annual goals one last time (if you haven't blown them already).
One of our goals is to be a great source for what's going on. And so let's look at what's on the agenda today. »Read Full Blog Post(2)
Yo La Tengo swings from calm to full-on rocking
Yo La Tengo's show at Turner Hall on Saturday showed that in music, there are different types of Zen.
The Hoboken, N.J.-based indie rock darling began a nine-song opening acoustic set with a meditative variation of "Ohm," the first track off "Fade," its lovely and relaxed 13th full-length studio album released in January. Georgia Hubley gently tapped the drums with brushes, her husband Ira Kaplan glided the song toward a subdued Middle Eastern-influenced guitar jam, and the couple along with primary bassist James McNew sang sweetly, quietly, together. »Read Full Article

Milwaukee Rep's 'Clybourne Park' an electrifying production
Because "Clybourne Park" is so good and because it explores issues that aren't going away, it's easy to agree with Mark Clements' prediction - made in his director's notes for the new Milwaukee Repertory Theater production - that Bruce Norris' play is built to last.
It's much harder to imagine watching the inevitable revival, 10 or 20 years from now, without hearkening back to the electrifying performance I saw Friday night, in which Clements' all-star cast gave "Clybourne" the treatment it deserves. »Read Full Article(1)

text: So I heard about this new game coming out on Aug 19, 2008 called Too Human several month about and got very excited. I went to my local Gamestop and of course before I can say anything I was asked, "Would you like to pre-order anything today, Gears of Wars 2, Fable 2..." Normally this would piss me the hell off but since I was there to pre-order something in the first place I let it slide. Yes, I would like to get Too Human please. I said, and we went through the motions of the pre-order. I ask, When will the game be available? Just to make sure. She checks to computer and says " Aug 19th, thats a Tuesday ." I thank her and go about my business of getting home to play some Rock Band. Now fast forward a few months to Aug 19th, 2008 Tuesday 4:30pm I walk into the same Gamestop, go to the counter and before they have a chance to ask me if I want to pre-order anything I say, I'm here to pick up Too Human. The Same girl that said that is will be available on " Aug 19th, thats a Tuesday " says oh it will be in tomorrow, it was shipped today. WHAT?! That not what you say when I ordered it. So instead of going okay I guess I'll come back tomorrow, I decide that I want the game now. So when I got home I called Gamecrazy and ask if they have Too Human, and of course they have it. I ask if I can come and pick it up without a pre-order. "Sure of course you can. We got plenty in stock." So I jump in my car and head to Gamecrazy. When I get there I'm greated with, Hey how you going? Chillin. I here to pick up Too Human. "Sure not a problem. Will that be all?"...... I wait for a second to see if he says it. You know what I'm talking about. Would you like to pre-order anything.>:( But it doesn't come. Wow this place is awesome. So now to double check the release date of Aug 19, 2008 to see maybe it a fluke or Gamecrazy is breaking the street date. the cashier say yeah it come out today Aug 19, 2008. So it's not just shipped today then? So now I have no fate in Gamestop to keep a pre-order. Sure they said it was coming in tomorrow but I was expecting it today. If you know that your not going to get the game on the roght day let me know so I dont get so excited on the day I think I can get it. Gamestop a realese date is different form a ship date. This isn't the first time it happened to me at that and other Gamestop stores. This is the straw that broke the camals back. I am officially boycotting Gamestop.
