Your cardio routine is as effective as last month's oatmeal and vodka soda diet. Trim the fad at Fusion Fitness. The first gym in the Design District offers 22 weekly classes based around speed, strength training, and stretching. Here's the drill: The 60-minute workouts begin with a romp on the treadmill to rev your heart rate. Then resistance exercises strengthen muscles and tone problem areas. Next, it's down to the mat for Pilates stretches and relaxing breathing techniques. Each day's classes focus on different body parts (Tight Tush Tuesday targets glutes; Bi's & Tri's Thursday is all about sculpting long, lean arms). The studio also schedules private, duet, and small-group training. For those who go against the grain.

It might not surprise anyone, but we are not like most Middle Eastern cultures. We value individual freedoms like that of speech and expression. They tend to be conformists to their culture and religion. Recently we have seen this stark contrast in the form of a low-budget video that is critical of the Islamic religion.
For most of us here in the United States, we look at the video with very little interest. Most might not approve of its content but still support the creator's freedom of expression. Then we look at Egypt's response. Beyond the well-known attacks on our embassy, there are authorities in Egypt who have put out arrest warrants for Coptic Christians who may or may not be involved with the video. These warrants are not for people in Egypt but for people here in our nation.
What was the crime that could bring the death penalty if convicted? They are accused of "insulting the Islamic religion, insulting the Prophet and inciting sectarian strife."
When was the last time you have known anyone being arrested for insulting Christianity, Judaism, Mohammed or even Joseph Smith? There is no responsibility for one's actions if it involves being insulted over there. Their government would rather blame our citizens for their citizens' bad behavior. Of course the warrants won't end up doing anything. It's just another way for their government to quell the masses. But it should be a reminder of how different we are from them.

Desktop Organization
Is Your Desktop Distracting?
Hey, is that you behind that monstrous assortment of stuff cluttering
your desk? Most people don't even realize it, but a disorganized office
can cause tremendous frustration and lost productivity that can mean
staying late at work. Fact is, a messy desk makes it extremely difficult
to go about your daily routine.
To follow are some practical
suggestions for avoiding a disorganized office:
File immediately.
Anyone who visits the Pendaflex Advisor
regularly knows that we cannot say this enough: avoid pile-ups! We know
it can be difficult to keep up with your filing when you get really
busy, but to keep your desk neat and orderly, its imperative that you
don't allow paperwork to grow into unmanageable stacks.
Use the tops of credenzas and lateral file cabinets.
pieces of organizing furniture can be found in almost every office. And
even if you work in a cubicle, there's probably a flat-top credenza or
cabinet nearby, providing space where you can store such things as
binders and catalogs...rather than letting them clutter your desktop.
Utilize shelves.
This is another smart location for storing
things that might otherwise cause confusion by taking up space on your
desk. A shelf, not your desk, is the proper place for items such as
phone books, magazines and videos.
Create drop spots.
Perhaps a basket designed to hang on your
wall, or some other kind of receptacle to temporarily drop memos, notes
and other small papers...keeping those kinds of easy-to-lose documents
off your desk until you have time to look at them.
Try not to get too personal.
Minimize the urge to clutter your
desk with an excessive amount of personal items, such as photographs and
knick-knacks. Of course, its great to have some of these in your
workspace, just don't overdo it so that your desk is covered with them.

Hi Tom, Interesting images, but not to my liking. I think there should be some form of skill involved in creating something that can be described as Art. If a creation is the result of a natural reaction or action should this be called Art? Can an image of a distant galaxy obtained by the Hubble, for example, be described as Art? However, this is just my view. Roger. |

I see your point, but mixing paint so that has certain light-reflecting qualities is also a chemical reaction. It's all in how you control the medium.
However it does seem that Tom is striving for a significant degree of random abstraction in his paintings, which is not my thing. I thought the design section of the site was more interesting. |

Alex Rodriguez's Hall of Fame Plaque
It was announced today that Alex Rodriguez will be suspended through the end of the 2014 baseball season due to his use of performance-enhancing drugs (and his reported cover-up of that P.E.D. use — which apparently didn't go so well). While an appeal is inevitable, his cheating-filled legacy appears set — and if he somehow makes it to Cooperstown, we have a pretty good idea what his plaque will look like.

Making SENSE of SCIENCE
Surrounded by Coke, Cheerwine and Mountain Dew, two Catawba college students stand near a high performance liquid chromatograph. They measure the amount of caffeine in the soft drinks.
Another measures the amount of ibuprofen in Advil and Equate. Still others analyze Scope and Listerine for alcohol content.
This is Dr. Mark Sabo's analytical chemistry class, a place where students learn how to use the same sophisticated scientific equipment that scientists use in industry. "Hopefully, this will show them what's done in the real world," Sabo says.
He gives his students opportunities to work with industrial equipment. He brought $200,000 worth of equipment with him to Catawba -- all instruments that were donated by his former employer or the Environmental Protection Agency. Now Catawba students have the opportunity to use a gas chromatograph, ion chromatograph and mass spectrometer.
They can measure the level of pollutants in water and air; gauge the amount of pesticides or insecticides in soil; and even measure the level of drugs in the blood.
Students often claim that chemistry is difficult, Sabo says. "I don't mind my students thinking it's tough, but I want them to understand it. I want my students to know that chemistry is not just an academic science but something they can relate to."

Placenta Previa CausesA number of factors can increase the likelihood that the placenta will be located in the lower part of the womb and potentially cover the cervical opening. Scar tissue in the upper regions of the uterus can promote growth of the placenta in the relatively unscarred lower segment of the uterus. Scarring of the tissues in the upper uterus can be a result of the following:
In some cases, placenta previa occurs because the placenta grows larger to compensate for decreased function (lowered ability to deliver oxygen and/or nutrients) or a need for greater function. This need for a larger placental area can increase a woman's risk of developing placenta previa. Examples include:
The risk of having placenta previa also increases with increasing maternal age and with the number of previous births. Women who have had placenta previa in one pregnancy are at greater risk for this complication in subsequent pregnancies. Asian women also have a slightly greater risk of placenta previa than women of other races, although the reason for this is unclear. Further, it has been noted that women carrying male fetuses are at slightly greater risk for placenta previa than are women carrying female fetuses. Since the placenta normally migrates away from the cervical opening as pregnancy progresses, women in the earlier stages of pregnancy are more likely to have placenta previa than are women at term. Up to 6% of women between 10 and 20 weeks' gestation will have some evidence of placenta previa on ultrasound examination, but 90% of these cases resolve on their own as the pregnancy progresses.

Well after tons of debt and other annoying shit, anyone know a good way to get this body off the frame? All I gotta do is unbolt the body from the frame and it's ready to come off. Will be rolling a stock k5 frame under it for now... Just need to get it up in the air, I've got no hoist, or trees, that will hold it.

is the jimmy factory 4wheel drive? if so i would just swap the drive train and perform a sas there are plenty of treads on pirate and s10forum just sit down and start reading. the only reason i tell u to swap the drive train is because i think it would suck to fab body mounts make sure it on the frame square plus to make the body fit the frame would behard with the rear arch of the blazer chassis. i vote drive train swap and be done with it. just my .02

i vote do a sas on the jimmy getting that body to fit on the k5 frame would suck and a sas isnt as hard as you may think. im currently doing a sas on a 99 jimmy and its going really well. just do a lot of reading and looking at pics of other people doing them and take there ideas. also the frame on the jimmy is going to be alot stronger then the k5 frame. either way good luck with the build

Ok my g/f's brother helped me out yesterday and cut off all the body bolts from the blazer. Got 3 bolts left on the jimmy, but outta oxygen, so probably today. As far as that k5 body goes, it's not in real good shape anyway, maybe the front fenders and hood are saveable, but the inner fenders are junk, as most the rest of the body. Doors are power and gate was power. Gate is rotted, doors aren't that great. Hope to have the k5 loaded on the trailer and on the way to the scrapyard by sat. and let them pull the body right off for me

Purity Ring is coming to Bumbershoot 2011 with its infectious beats and ghostly vocals. The future pop duo is a new project started by Megan James and Corin Roddick of New York-based Gobble Gobble. Their sound pulls from different corners of the electro universe, but takes on a shape of its own. Here's an excerpt from a Pitchfork review of Purity Ring's "Ungirthed": The synths are warped and churning forward with an oblong gait as tinny electro drums tap out the beat, but it's James' voice at the center of this thing that keeps the ear coming back. In a time when so many lead vocals are buried and distant and dialed in from a memory, she sounds wonderfully present and clear and full of energy. Visit Pitchfork here for the full review and a free download of "Ungirthed."(Source: facebook.com)
"Twinkling green and red stars danced over them, Biornstad's and Josh Hodges' vocals were fluid and alive, the two drum kits were explosive, the keyboards sounded celestial, and the new Reptilians songs went off particularly well." STRFKR's show at the Crocodile last April was a dance party worth seeing. But if you didn't make the sold out show, you can read the Seattle Weekly's concert review and really feel like you missed out. Good thing you can see the quartet this September at Bumbershoot 2011!

: It appears that Amber Riley from the HIT TV SHOW Glee has finally got herself a dude. Paps caught her and Justin Bieber's bodyguard Kenny Hamilton walking arm in arm. And when they asked Kenny if he was "working" he told them"No"
Is she not important enough or [in MTO opinion] pretty/skinny enough to post her name in the heading of the story? Then you low lives had the nerve to ask if the man she was with was "working". Why is it so unbelievable that Amber can have a boyfriend? You ugly goats have relationships,so why can't Amber?
Why do you say "finally"? I'm sure she's had boyfriends before this. They cast her on that show as a portrayal of black female stereotypes;as a joke.The asexual,overweight black woman who is unreasonably selfless and places others' problems above her own to her own detriment.You're only making it worse by implying no one wants her.
First off that title is UNNECESSARY. I always knew Media takeout sucked but this is a new low. She's a beautiful young girl with an amazing voice. Second, did you ever think, or at least do your research, that since she's now being managed by Justin Bieber's manager that perhaps this guy is also HER bodyguard as well now, or at least escorting her around??? Then again you would have to actually have done the reporting work to put some possible facts to the story. Lastly, Amber has said before that she's too busy with her career for a boyfriend so if this is a date then that's all it is. Get some lives and stop the self-hate.
She looks pretty and her weight does not hinder her job, but him.......*** you be in shape bodyguarding bro? I mean really, I ain't saying that you got to fight crime, but you should hit the gym and tone that up. Must think that Beiber's biggest threat is only six year old girls asking for a kiss or something.
She got the role in GLEE cuz that is what the director was lookin for , someone that was African American with weight on her that could sing. That is why she is not pressure to lose weight for the show !!! The boyfriend to me looks a little out of shape & corny to b a bodyguard but hey he is protecting him from teeny boppers. HELL Justin could hve hired his mother for that!!
Yes , one more idiot ***... Nonetheless,in the event you guys desire to make a little extra bucks on the internet I would suggest you to look into this phenomenal strategy. I'm already generating about 100$+ each day and I only began recently . You may to if you put in a little work daily . Have a look at *** JOESTECHNIQUE.COM *** for more details. It's Cost-free.

It is a very difficult and complicated and unclear set of choices facing women who test positive for BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutations. In my practice, I meet often with women who fit this profile and who have already been diagnosed with either breast or ovarian (or, occasionally, both) cancers. Most proceed quite quickly with an oophrectomy (having ovaries removed) because of the difficulties associated with catching ovarian cancer at an early stage. Young women who have not finished having children obviously find this a more painful decision and may opt to wait a few years until their families are complete. A decision about prophylactic mastectomies is usually much harder. Although an oopherectomy signals a surgical menopause, ovaries are not visible. Losing both breasts, with or without reconstruction, and with or without really good cosmetic results from reconstruction, is very visible and stirs up many psychological and sexual issues.
I am not writing today about those concerns, but about the difficulty of making a decision. One of the real difficulties is that we have statistics, but it is impossible to predict the future for any one women. There no doubt are women who have bilateral mastectomies who would never have developed breast cancer. On the other side, there are women who delay the surgery and then do develop a cancer.
A recent article in the NCI Cancer Bulletin nicely summarizes this decision process and suggests some ways to think about choices. Here is a quote and then a link to read more:
Helping Breast Cancer Gene Mutation Carriers Weigh Prevention Choices
More than 300,000 women in the United States have
defects in one of two DNA repair genes known as breast
cancer susceptibility genes 1 and 2 (BRCA1 1 and
BRCA2 2). Since the mid-1990s, when work by Dr.
Mary-Claire King and others helped to uncover the
significance of harmful mutations 3 in genes located on
chromosomes 17 and 13, dozens of studies in the United
States and abroad have confirmed that women who carry
specific BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations face a much
higher risk of some cancers, including an approximately
60 percent lifetime risk of breast cancer 4 and a 15 to 40
percent lifetime risk of ovarian cancer 5.
"The real question becomes: What can women do about
it, and how can we best help them understand and cope
with their elevated risk?" said Dr. Beth Karlan, director
of the Women's Cancer Research Institute and Division
of Gynecologic Oncology at Cedars-Sinai Medical
Center and professor of obstetrics and gynecology at
UCLA's David Geffen School of Medicine. "In many
cases, women feel as if they have to act, but they may
not fully understand the potential impact of the
preventive measures that we know will lower that risk."

Disney Channel retools 'Sonny With a Chance' during Demi Lovato absence
Though it's not certain whether Lovato's current treatment will prevent her from joining "Sonny" when it resumes production in January, Variety reports that Disney and "Sonny" producers have a plan B in place.
Disney confirms the third season will shift the focus to "Sonny's" show-within-a-show, "So Random!" A variety and sketch comedy series, it will devote more screen time to guest stars, musical performances and shorts.
"This allows her the time she needs to get well, without distraction or pressure," a Disney Channel spokeswoman tells Variety. "Again, we extend our ongoing support to Demi and her family as she works to overcome personal issues."
The current season already includes two stand-alone episodes devoted to "So Random," so producers expect the transition to be an easy one.

With Disney losing both Miley & Gomez, they need to keep the show is at best when the two main girls are interacting.If Lovato cleans up her act they will bring her back.
I'm happy to see that the other cast members of the show won't have to suffer for the unfortunate situation that Demi is now dealing with. However you might feel about the show personally, I'd hate to see the other cast members fall victim to a summary cancelation themselves.
That being said, I'm curious how basically a Disney sketch comedy show fairs... I don't think Disney has ever done sketch comedy but hope they keep it clean if so.
Disney always has a back-up...Bridget Mendler is in the process of becoming the new it -girl...But she needs more time. Demi needs 2 step back in.

Published: July 5, 2007
Updated: Sept. 24, 2010
Clinician Q & A: What are the latest approaches to managing high blood pressure?
Despite all we know about the adverse health consequences of hypertension, it remains underdiagnosed and inadequately managed in the United States.
Many of the estimated 65 million Americans with hypertension are not aware that they have the disease, and a significant portion of those who are known to have the problem do not have their blood pressure under adequate control.
Yet, improved diagnosis and control has the potential to yield huge benefits to society with regard to the prevention of cardiovascular disease, especially stroke.
What can be done to address this persistent problem?
The obvious first step is to identify the millions of Americans who don't know they have elevated blood pressure. Screening programs sponsored by employers, senior centers, health departments, civic groups, and religious organizations are a great way to make people aware of their blood pressure reading and reinforce the importance of periodic evaluation for hypertension.
The educational message should begin long before adulthood, however, and given the scope of the problem, the problem of hypertension should be a recurrent component of health education in our school systems.
Once identified, an affected individual must be encouraged to seek out a care provider to confirm the diagnosis -- and an elevated blood pressure reading taken in the mall is often not enough impetus.
The benefits of treating hypertension are well established, and especially the benefits with regard to long-term stroke risk reduction.
Some of the reasons why people don't seek out medical attention include the absence of symptoms, a lack of knowledge about the seriousness of uncontrolled hypertension, a fear of potential side effects associated with treatment, and limited access to care.
Some patients assume they will be faced with taking medications that they don't want to take or can't afford, and they don't want to be bothered with the inconvenience of regular office visits.
Consider how many patients postpone seeing a physician even when they have alarming symptoms, like angina.
Once the diagnosis is confirmed, the health care provider is then faced with managing the condition.
Here, there's guidance from the most recent report of the Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure (JNC 7), published in 2003.
The JNC 7 report offers a classification system that includes changing the term "high-normal" blood pressure to "prehypertension" because the committee felt the former term did not adequately alert patients to their risk of becoming hypertensive.
The report provides a treatment algorithm that is also a component of a quick-reference office card that can be downloaded for free or purchased in a laminated form.
The JNC 7 also listed seven key points for clinicians:
Another key point worth adding to the list is to treat the disease aggressively when the blood pressure readings indicate that medication is needed.
The old adage "start low and go slow" no longer seems prudent. The former prescribing pattern of sequential monotherapies -- trying one drug, then switching to a different drug when the first one doesn't lower the blood pressure to goal -- has lost favor to the additive strategy (and, as noted in #5 above, patients are likely to need more than one drug).
Although the vast majority of patients have essential hypertension, it's likely that they have several pathophysiologic mechanisms contributing to their disease and will benefit from a combination strategy that addresses these mechanisms.
This move to combination therapy requires clinicians to be aware that certain populations, such as the elderly and patients with diabetes or autonomic dysfunction, will require additional instruction and monitoring to minimize potential side effects of the medications.
The decision to convene the JNC 7 committee in 2003 to update the guidelines was based in part on the publication of many new hypertension observational studies and clinical trials since the release of the previous guidelines in 1997.
One important study not available in 2003 is the Anglo-Scandinavian Cardiac Outcomes Trial (ASCOT). The results from this long-term study of 19,000 European patients with hypertension were not available until late 2004 and have some experts in this country calling for updates to the current guidelines.
ASCOT, which compared the combination of a calcium channel blocker (CCB) and an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor to a beta-blocker and thiazide diuretic, was halted in December 2004 when an interim analysis found better outcomes for a wide range of cardiovascular events among patients receiving the CCB-ACE inhibitor combination.
Concerns about the use of beta-blockers as first-line treatments had been building for nearly a decade, and now meta-analyses of the use of beta-blockers in uncomplicated hypertension support the findings of ASCOT.
In June 2006 the United Kingdom's National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the British Hypertension Society issued updated guidelines that relegate beta-blockers to a third- or fourth-line drug.
The guidelines also note that there is not an urgency to stop beta-blockers (particularly in someone whose blood pressure is well controlled) and that doing so abruptly can cause harm.
Moreover, patients with a compelling reason to take beta-blockers, such as angina or a previous MI, should certainly continue on the drug.
Finally, health care professionals constantly deal with the issue of patient adherence -- and it's especially difficult with a silent disease like hypertension.
Patients who come in symptom-free but need medications start having side effects, like frequent urination, and don't want to continue with the drugs. Or the medication regimen is too complicated, or too costly. Or the patents aren't motivated to make any lifestyle changes.
As noted in the JNC 7 guidelines, we need to work with our patients to maintain adherence. We can build empathy, trust, and motivation by making sure the patient understands and agrees with the goals of therapy -- by providing current and goal blood pressure readings verbally and in writing, for instance.
We must make sure they understand that hypertension is a chronic disease that won't simply go away without some effort on their part to modify lifestyle factors that contribute to the problem and consistently to take medications that are returning their system toward their desired baseline values.
And we should try to remove barriers to care whenever possible, choosing less expensive alternative medications and less complex dosage schedules.
We hope that our efforts to manage this huge and costly medical problem will help reduce the morbidity and mortality caused by this silent disease.
Michael Blazing, MD, is director of the Adult Inpatient Cardiology Service at Duke University Hospital.

Subject Tutoring
Learning Commons tutors help fellow students grow academically by building confidence and habits that lead to independence. Tutors focus their efforts on modeling and suggesting problem solving skills that benefit students for the long-term.
Upon arrival, Welcome Desk Assistants help students sign in and introduce them to available tutors. As a walk-in service, subject peer tutors may assist several students simultaneously, but will always integrate new students into their rotation as quickly as possible. Generally, daytime tutoring is not as busy as evening tutoring, but we cannot guarantee one-on-one assistance.
Students should expect peer assistance to be collaborative. This means tutors will ask students questions about problems and topics, access textbooks and other course material to help investigate solutions, and spend time thinking with a student during the problem-solving process. We believe professors and instructors to be the most fundamental academic resource on campus; tutors enact this principle in the form of faculty referrals when further assistance is needed.
Tutoring sessions are more effective when students come prepared with a course syllabus, a textbook and/or related material, and attempted homework. Students do not need to bring completed assignments in order to get help, but the more students have worked with the material on their own, the more focused tutoring sessions can be in terms of content and suggested learning strategies.
To get the most out of tutoring, please review and follow the following guidelines:

MU veterinarian reports rise in equine pigeon fever
The lengthy drought this past summer in Missouri not only affected crops, but it's affecting horses, too.
Missouri's drought caused a large spike in a rare horse infection. Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis, or pigeon fever, is most commonly reported in warm, dry areas and breeds in the soil.
University of Missouri equine veterinarian Philip Johnson said signs of the infection include abscesses under the skin, loss of appetite and inflammation on the legs and the abdominal region. He said if treated properly, the disease is not lethal.
"So, probably it gets into the horse's system through either an abrasion of the skin, or perhaps a result of damage to the skin through biting flies or tics," Johnson said.
Johnson said records are not kept on the average number of infections. And in the past 20 years, he has never seen more than a single case per year in Missouri. But this year, he has seen more than 30. He said horse owners must watch for symptoms carefully.
"If they see a swelling or inflammation developing in the skin on the horse, call the veterinarian," Johnson said.
To prevent the disease, Johnson recommends reducing the number of flies around the horse's environment and keeping any affected horses segregated.

UNITED LABOR ACTION P °*ft"'**A SMASH THE CITIZENS ALLIANCE <mm TWO TWENTY-FIVE SOUTH THIRD STREET VOLUME 1 MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA, WEDNESDAY, AUG. 22,1934 NUMBER 37 Settlement Goes Through! * The strike settlement adopted by the Union last night at a membership meeting is a victory for Local 574 and for the cause of trade unionism which was at stake in this strike. The bosses, led by the Citizens Alliance, forced this strike on us. The Alliance bandits admit that they want to make this an open shop town. The beginning, they thought, would be ta smash Local 574. Then they would go on to the rest of the Unions. They have been defeated in their foul plot! Battle - scarred and bleeding from many wounds, Local 574 rises from the struggle stronger in the confidence of the workers and more certain of its future than before. Local 574 has not yet gotten everything for its members that it means to get. The bosses know this and we shall not let them forget it. But what Local 574 has won is the gain of the whole union movement. All Minneapolis workers rejoice to know that the attempt to break 574 has completely fizzled and that our great union remains in the field to fight the battles of its own members and to point the road of struggle to all workers seeking the benefit of organization and a better life for themselves and their families. * * * The walls of Eagles hall shook last night as the members wound up their meeting with the fighting song of 574, "Solidarity Forever!" When 574 says "Solidarity," it means union, it means stick together, fight it out, don't give in. And this in turn means 574. This number is the veritable symbol of unionism and the unconquerable spirit of labor in Minneapolis today. And not only in Minneapolis. Local 574's heroic struggle has become a national affair. Minneapolis has shown the country something new, and newspaper front pages everywhere carry our name. ct What was new ? Not the fact that a few ^ thousand workers, miserably oppressed and ex- . ploited, rose to rebel. That happens daily. Everywhere American workers, sick of working like slaves and living like bums, are striking, co The pity is that, as a rule, they are cheated, £j betrayed or sold out by those they trust and could split us.,wWe stuck it out arid got -a- settlement which the whtjle labor move-^ ment will approve. the; strike ends. lie"- does not rely on. The bosses crush them, or the leaders betray them, or they get caught in the "National Run Around" of Federal meditation, and before the inexperienced workers know what has happened their strikes are broken and they go back defeated, without conditions, without a union, without anything, as a rule, but an NRA promise worth just about as much as Confederate money. They tried all that in Minneapolis, but it was no go. That's what was new about our strike. That made the whole country sit up and take notice. Every means of oppression was brought to bear. They shot our pickets down in cold blood. Two of them lie dead today, victims of the murdering, union-hating conspirators, martyrs.to the sacred cause of labor. They flung our jp£pk-i' ets and our leadsr into a military stockade. They raided our headquarters. \ \ ■ v*:"•*'.*.'! i But they couldn't break us. •':: *.'.• i '-..' :'*. i Every dirty trick and maneuver was tried. A Farmer-Labor governor, whom so many workers trusted, turned up as a copper, throwing pickets into the stockade. They put over a "Red Scare" to see if they could catch some suckers and get the union to select a leadership to suit the bosses. Even the Federal Mediators, Father Haas and Mr. Dunnigan, to their shame, tried to go over the heads of our leaders and disrupt our ranks. Such "labor leaders" as Tobin and Smith played the role of Judas*, But they couldn't fool us. j' Local 574 stood up and foiight.ba.ck.. Rank., and file and leaders stodd-.u|u'te.<I-,:a;nd' j&ljody-.' Thus But the end. Elections- are coming. Local 574 Wants ■ to win in every housed Every worker should join the Union. Every union man should speak to his brothers on the job and see to it that 574 gets a unanimous vote. After that we shall remain vigilant and see that all. conditions of the settlement are enforced in practice. Local 574 is not going to sleep at the switch. Let's get out the vote and let's see' to it that every ballot cast is marked for 574, a real union. And a final word: MayQ^lBainbridge has started to yap about driving ■"IGommunists" out of the city. We know what he riaeans. He means framing up every worker who fights for his rights. The Citizens Alliance, .sore' because they had to swallow the settlement, are planning to sic their bloodhound Johannes onto some innocent individual workers and. take it out of their hides. =:/.-. We wjarn all enemies df labor: Local 574 is going to take a hand in th.el.fight against any kind of a frame-up. Those who start this sort of business will be responsible for all the consequences. ' •'•'•' ' . . ..This.outlines the immediate.program of Lo- £«U57jk: .: : :\\ ' ' ' We" 'are'going to. see to it that the settle- 'me'nt-is c^rtifed Out' '•"'•/ -,. . - .* •'. We are going -to -see to it that any attempts at discrimination get a crack on the head. We are going to win the election and build a bigger union than we ever had before. And we are going to protect every last man of our heroic strikers against any sort of persecution. The Organizer ceases.today to be a Daily Strike Bulletin. It remains the official daily of Local 574. Until the elections have been concluded, we intend to keep in our hands the precious., weapon, a daily paper,' : • ,•'■'Numberless remarks, scores of letters give us .confidence.that this will be welcome news to th& w.Qrke'rs''p'f Minneapolis.

MONDAY, Aug. 15 (HealthDay News) -- Just 15 minutes of physical activity a day can reduce your risk of death by 14 percent and increase your life expectancy by three years, a new study suggests.
Current recommendations call for adults to do at least 150 minutes, or a total of 2.5 hours, of physical activity weekly.
But the new study finds that doing even less than that -- 15 minutes daily is about 105 minutes a week -- still provides benefits.
The study included more than 400,000 people in Taiwan who were followed for an average of eight years. Based on their self-reported amounts of weekly exercise, they were placed in one of five categories: inactive, low, medium, high or very high activity.
The people in the low-activity group exercised for an average of 92 minutes per week, or just under 15 minutes a day. Compared to those in the inactive group -- who did almost no physical activity -- those in the low-activity group were 14 percent less likely to die from any cause, 10 percent less likely to die of cancer, and had a three-year longer life expectancy, on average.
Every additional 15 minutes of daily exercise beyond the minimum 15 minutes further reduced the risk of all-cause death by 4 percent and the risk of cancer death by 1 percent.
The benefits of even low levels of physical activity were seen in all age groups, in both men and women, and in people with cardiovascular disease risks.
The study appears online Aug. 15 in The Lancet.
"In Taiwan, if inactive individuals engage in low-volume daily exercise, one in six all-cause deaths could be postponed -- mortality reductions of similar magnitude have been estimated for a successful tobacco control program in the general population," wrote Dr. Chi-Pang Wen of the National Health Research Institutes in Taiwan, and colleagues.
"If the minimum amount of exercise we suggest is adhered to, mortality from heart disease, diabetes and cancer could be reduced. This low volume of physical activity could play a central part in the global war against non-communicable diseases, reducing medical costs and health disparities," they concluded.
The study results could help get more people off the couch, according to an accompanying editorial.
"The knowledge that as little as 15 minutes per day of exercise on most days of the week can substantially reduce an individual's risk of dying could encourage many more individuals to incorporate a small amount of physical activity into their busy lives," wrote Dr. Anil Nigam and Dr. Martin Juneau, of the Montreal Heart Institute and Universite de Montreal in Quebec.
"Governments and health professionals both have major roles to play to spread this good news story and convince people of the importance of being at least minimally active," they added.

Ralph the squirrel goes free..Posted Monday, December 14, 2009, at 4:14 PM Very spoilt squirrel
For those of you following Ralph the Squirrel, she is doing well. She started in November to stay outside more and more. She would come in , in the evenings when I went out to the tree and then one day... she just did not want to come in. Sniff. She had found some of her litter mates. While I was sad that Ralph chose to live outdoors permanently I was also filled with gratitude because I got to help one of God's special creatures go back into the wild where she belonged. I learned a lot from that squirrel she was funny and energetic and always mischievous. They are very social and such clowns. They love to play and I would play peek a boo with her often when she would get on the laundry hanging over the washer. I learned what to feed them and what not to feed them, what she really liked and the fact that they are skittish for a reason. Ralph would always "taste" my finger before she jumped on my hand and I tested this theory out with my husbands hand over mine, yep she bite the crap out of him and then me unto she figured out which hand was mine. Squirrels bite hard and can do some damage too. If you acted like you were afraid, then she got afraid and would bite. It got to the point where only I could handle her and she would be aggressive with anyone else.. which was not good, and got bloody. Ralph is living in the back yard, in a large ivy covered tree with two other squirrels her size. How do I know it is Ralph? The others run, she does not and will let me get quite close until the others nervously chatter he away. Saturday, I was worried about her... it was 14 degrees that night and I thought, "how do these little squirrels stay warm in this weather?" The dog barked and I thought someone was at the back door, I opened the door and it was the squirrel wanting something to eat. I had forgotten to lay out some sweet potatoes and other goodies on her former hutch we hung outside. Guess she still rules to roost. Good to see ya Ralph, thanks for stopping by.
