While sitting in my class this morning in the Design building, I realized I hate that building. I also cannot stand Gilman and Bessey. Too much time spent in there for only a couple credits. As for my fav, I would have to go with Beardsher and Kildee. Beardsher is just stunning inside, love going there besides the fact that I am going to spend a bunch of money. Kildee is the An Sci building, so I have to love it. Curious to see what everybody else thinks...
Naz Long, the Cowboy Killer
As a business major, I think Gerdin is close to the top. Also enjoy Kildee and Beardshear. Then a lot of other buildings.... Close to the bottom of my list... Ross, Carver.
Favorite "new" building is Gerdin (my building). Favorite "old" building is Beardshear Least favorite "new" building is Hoover or Howe Least favorite "old" building is Ross.... **** that building with a thousand suns
My teams: (as of 9/20/13) Cleveland Browns: 0-2 - .000 Cleveland Indians: 83-70 - .542 Cleveland Cavs: 24-58 - .293 Iowa State Cyclones (FB): 0-2 - .000 9/22/18 & 9/7/19 Akron and Iowa State CAN'T WAIT!
Physics and Lebaron suck IMO. Jack trice is my favorite.
Wherever yo momma is. I keed, lied is my favorite. Any classroom is my least
Fred's Fanatics- Member Fans of Fred Hoiberg and the 2013-2014 Iowa State Cyclones. Copy and Paste to Join. Denver Broncos fan: 13-3 Super Bowl Losers :( Arsenal Fan: 2nd place Iowa St: 20-5
I basically live in Agronomy so I'm gonna go with that as my favorite. Least favorite is probably Design or Davidson.
Favorites were Lago and Carver. Least favorites were Mole Bio and Industrial Ed. Lago, because it is a long building oriented North-South, which makes it great for walking through on a cold day on your way to Industrial Ed. Carver because it's close to where I lived. Mole Bio and Industrial Ed because they're forever away from everything. Didn't really have a preference with insides of buildings, just the walk times.
Keepers of the Faith -- Member Keepers of the Faith is an alliance for those who are excited, enthusiastic, and optimistic about the direction of our men's basketball program. We reject the notion that one bad loss can derail the incredible progress of the past three years.
I hated Ross. So darn confusing to get around in it. I spent 5 years at the design building and hated that place too. Brutalist/cubist/Stalinist architecture is just nasty. Favorite is Beadshear or Lagomarchino.
I also hate Ross Hall. Not a huge fan of Carver, either. I liked the big lecture hall in LeBaron. Hoover Hall was a pretty cool building, too. As a business major, Gerdin was awesome, and Friley was by far my favorite dorm. Agree with the sentiments of Beardshear just being a really awesome old building.
Worst parts of campus: Gilman lecture hall, mckay lecture hall, Science II room 102 (the heater/ac had an obnoxious click every minute or two for two years straight) Favorite parts outside of Hilton and Jack Trice: Larch Hall (too many good memories freshman year), LeBaron, and Curtiss Lecture Hall.
Favorite: Library (especially the basement) Least Favorite: Lebaron-McKay
the poster formerly known as chamakhattack
Buildings I liked: Kildee, Gerdin Ones I didn't: Gilman (that place is a dump), Molecular Biology (too far to walk), the frats (too many guys wearing sperrys)
Favorites: Carver and Memorial Union. Good memories in Carver and good places to nap in MU. Most despised: Meat Lab. Had 8:00 am Philosophy there and it was a long cold walk from the Towers.
I big puffy heart Kildee. Never a big fan of McKay's lecture hall
The best is by far the Knoll. The piece of land, the paths, its beautiful.

Spreme Beings as the Powers that Be.Posted Saturday, June 30, 2012, at 3:21 PM
Some of you may remember when your Civics teacher spoke of the three arms of our government. She/He identified them as the Administrative, the Legislative and the Judicial. Our teacher told us that the nine members of the Supreme Court were the final court of appeal. These judges were to be completely fair with no partisan politics playing any role in their decisions.
For decades, it seemed we could rely on these nine judges to do pretty much the right thing. However, since the Warren Commission, the "Powers that Be" seem to have been heading south on some very important decisions. In 2000, we allowed them to elect our president. In 2010, we allowed them to pass a decision that says, in effect, that corporations are people, too, otherwise known as the "Citizens United" (CU) decision. These corporations can give millions of dollars without any limits to back the candidate of their choice and we weren't even sure who these "people" were. However, thanks to "Common Cause"* and "The Hightower Lowdown"** we now know the names of these big spenders. Here's the list of the nine megabucks' masters: 1. Sheldon Adelson, (worth $21.5 million) built his fortune on gaming. He runs the Las Vegas Sands Corporation. 2. Harold Simmons, (worth 5.2 million) owns Waste Control Specialists, who build nuclear waste dumps. 3. Bob Perry, (worth $4.1million) made his money in homebuilding. 4. Peter Thief (billionaire) is the CEO of PayPal Inc. 5. William Dore (near billionaire) is chief of Dore Energy, an oil and gas corporation. 6. Foster Friess (a multimillionaire) made his money in stock speculation ie.Brandywine Fund. 7. Steven Lund, a former president of Nu-Skin (a Utah-based vitamin-supplement-ointment direct marketer.) AND finally: 8. Charles Koch (a billionaire) is half owner of Koch Industries. 9. David Koch (a billionaire) is the other half owner of Koch Industries. So, in 2012, we will probably be thanking or cursing these nine billionaires for electing our president with the "outstanding" help of our Supreme Court and especially Justice Anthony Kennedy, who cast the deciding vote for the 2000 election and the (CU) vote in 2010. *Common Clause is helping to draw attention to the unprecedented amount of corporate and special interest spending on influencing election outcomes. They are pushing the cause called Amend 2012 to rally public support for an urgently needed constitutional amendment in your state and nationwide.

Cars 2: Character Posters
Photo 23 of 36
The former European colony and newly independent Republic of New Rearendia is desperate to put their name on the map – the #10 open-wheeled racer Rip Clutchgoneski is their best bet. After putting together a remarkable string of qualifying races, Rip's entry into the World Grand Prix is clearly the Cinderella story of the competition. Though Rip credits luck for his chance on the international stage, it's really skill and exuberance that brought the proud New Rearendian racer to the starting line.

Editors' note: This review has been updated to reflect changes in version 6.0.
The Facebook app for iOS that lets you browse the popular social-networking site on your phone or tablet just got updated with some new features to enhance chatting with your friends. Recent updates made it run much faster than earlier versions, offering quicker ways to browse through friends' pages, statuses, photos, and other communications. But the new update to the app adds Chat Heads and Stickers to add a little fun to your Facebook communications.
Across the top of the interface, you still have a button to open the navigation sidebar, one to look at friend requests, a chat bubble for messages, and a globe for notifications. To get to the navigation sidebar, you can either hit the button or simply swipe your finger to the right. In the sidebar you have all the same functions that you would on the Web site, so you can touch to browse the News Feed, Messages, nearby check-ins, events, groups, and any Facebook apps you might use. With the update, Facebook now has buttons at the top of your feed that you can tap to switch among the News Feed, All Friends, and the pages you're following.
One of the best things about Facebook is the interface for browsing photos. Just tap on a friend's Photos link and you quickly get all of his photo folders. From there you can just tap on a folder to browse. When you view a photo from a folder full-screen, you can swipe sideways to move on to the next picture and swipe up or down to return to the folder. You also can quickly upload a photo from your library or snap a new picture to upload with your iPhone or iPad. All of these elements are laid out to make your most-used actions on Facebook both easy to carry out and much faster than in older versions of the app.
Recent updates added the Share button, more tagging features, emoji icons to enhance chat, and a button for sorting your News Feed to get the stories you want. Tagging features let you tag friends in any post, comment, or photo. Other minor tweaks brought bigger Like, Comment, and Share buttons below each post in your News Feed.

- A visual history of the Sony PlayStation (pictures)
PlayStation 3 Super Slim (2012)
The final major revision to the PS3 hardware came in 2012. This even-smaller version replaced the slot-loading optical drive with a simple (and lower cost) top-loading model, housed under a manually sliding door.
The good: The Super Slim PlayStation 3 shrinks a powerful gaming machine into an even tinier package while maintaining the same features as its predecessors: a great gaming library and a strong array of streaming services, including Netflix, Amazon, Vudu, and NFL Sunday Ticket.
The bad: It seems Sony isn't yet able to bring down the price of the PS3, even though some cost-cutting design choices have been made. The Super Slim PS3's odd sliding disc tray and glossy plastic encasing make it appear cheap. Also, a few annoyances like not including HD cables and the lack of an infrared IR port should have been resolved by now.
The bottom line: The latest PS3 slims down to its smallest size ever while retaining everything we like -- and a few things we don't -- about the PlayStation 3 gaming console.

Mountain lion wifi problems
Also having this issue. Ridiculous Apple haven't released a patch for the problem yet.
Like (1)
I had same exact problem, every times I have to restart or shutdown my macbook, I can't turn on wireless on my laptop (wireless icon seem "on" on menubar, but can't find wifi signal) and I had tried most solution this forum offer to no avail.
This morning I think I've found a work around for this:
Before restart or shutdown turn bluetooth on, then if wireless will be fine
I've tried this several times, if I turn my bluetooth off before restart, wireless problem show up, but if I turn bluetooth on before restart then wireless will be fine
Hope this help.

Update from me. This only happens when my iMac (summer 2011) goes to sleep. If that happens and I loose Internet access, if I renew the DHCP lease and then go into the Internet connection tool and click "next" the whole way through, it will reestablish the connection without any problem.
While this has decreased the impact of the problem, it is still something that Apple needs to address.

Just to add my name to the list of many people on many threads about this problem in Mountain Lion...
My wifi disconnects from the internet, without feedback from the wifi icon. It stays connected for a few minutes at a time. If I stream a YouTube video, it disconnects within 10 or 20 seconds.
No solutions have worked. I've tried every reboot, reset, remove-then-re-add suggestion under the sun. Like virtually everyone on these threads, none of these have worked. The latest update — 10.8.1, has not included a fix.
• Macbook Pro 2.53 GHz Core 2 Duo
• D-Link DIR-615 router

I have found a solution that, though far from satisfactory, at least prevents me from having to frequently restart my iMac. Before putting the iMac to sleep, I turn off the WiFi. This, of course, means that I must turn it on again when I wake it up, but at least I don't get to see the spinning beachball. A sad situation.

Just found a solution for me. Turned off wifi, restarted my iMac, and then turned wifi back on, and now connected to wifi again and Safari seems to be working again at normal speed. Tried all other solutions and had limited success for a very short time, but this seems to be working. So far so good......

5Ghz does not solve the problem. I have all Airports on 5Ghz, and that doesn't guarantee wi-fi stability.

Each time I wake my MacBook Pro from sleep, it fails to make a WiFi connection. Approaching the WiFi icon in the menu-bar causes the pointer to turn into the spinning beachball. I can open System Preferences, but trying to open the Network panel again causes the cursor to turn into the spinning beachball. The only way out of this, it seems, is to Restart (and this often first involves force quitting applications).

I tried the solution on osxdaily and it did 0 to solve the connection problem. First I updated from Lion and experienced the dropped connections even after trying the MTU trick. I decided to perform a clean fresh install on my imac and THAT didn't help either.
I don't understand why they don't simply revert to the stack they used in Lion which worked perfectly they didn't need to "upgrade" the networking at all.
I even stopped my imac from sleeping but it still randomly disconnects on it's own.
I may just switch back to Lion, this doesn't seem like a major OS upgrade anyway.

Joining the ranks of frustrated wifi users. I updated to ML this weekend thinking that a few weeks down the line, the rough spots would be fixed. I used to enjoy a mostly consistent wifi connection, all the way up to the upgrade. Now I've installed, I'm getting massive wifi dropouts that bring the web to a crawl reminiscent of those good old days of 'dial up' I use iStat menus to see my download and upload speeds. Youtube videos provide my general bench mark, I can see that I can be chugging down data at around 250kb/s then suddenly drop to 40kb/s then back up, then back down. My old normal speed was around 250kb/s, which was acceptable considering my Broadband and distance from exchange.
I've tried a few suggested fixes, the issue is still there.
An official Apple update is something I hope will resolve the issue.

GoGrid's John Keagy on Cloud Pricing
September 9th, 2009 By: Rich Miller
ServePath/GoGrid founder and CEO John Keagy was among the speakers at the recent Cloud World/Open Source World conference. Video blogger Barton George caught up with John at the show to discuss some of his views on the industry, including his expectation that the Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) space will see prices drop as the competition heats up. This view is interesting in light of the subsequent launch of vCloud Express, in which several VMware partners are offering IaaS services at or below Amazon's pricing. This video runs about 6 minutes.
Check out our Cloud Computing Channel for other perspectives on these topics. For additional video, check out our DCK video archive and the Data Center Videos channel on YouTube.

Posted September 9th, 2009Nice interview Barton. When you asked an important question "what's the biggest barriers of adoption" I don't believe it has anything to do with outsourcing. The industry got over that years ago when this business become more and more software managed.
The problem with the cloud and the providers are not saying it, is Security. As in this interview not one time was security mentioned. It's a huge problem and is making news everyday. Companies won't care if it goes from $0.10 per hour to $0.0001 per hour if they can't protect their information.

Check memory usage for Firefox add-ons
Using many Firefox add-ons at once can cause the application to dramatically slow down. This is because for each add-on, you're using a piece of your computer's memory. The most obvious solution is to uninstall some of them, but perhaps that's not a good option for you.
As an alternative, try checking out how much memory each add-on is using. Firefox provides information on memory allocation (about:memory), but it isn't in the most user-friendly format. The next best option is to install yet another add-on. However, this particular add-on will report its own memory usage … Read more

See, I think flying airplanes is, at its core, about freedom and developing self-reliance, about making informed decisions and taking responsibility for yourself and your actions, about independence and energy and hard work. And I'm not sure those "virtues" are popular, important or even acceptable these days. I worry that we're abdicating core American values and becoming a dependent people for whom risk-taking is unacceptable. We're teaching a generation that it's not our responsibility but rather the role of government to protect us from injury even if we don't use reasonable caution and common sense. Like sheep we accept mandated seat belts, car seats, air bags, texting, smoking, baby crib design and bicycle helmets. We criminalize parents who own homes where teens party too hard, fast-food restaurants that serve trans-fat fried potatoes and too-hot coffee, schoolyard bullies and people who own too many dogs or who, however briefly, leave a kid at home or in a car to run into the grocery store. Yeah, I know all these laws and regulations can save lives, but where does it end?
What scares me is the thought that the downsize in general aviation is a byproduct of what's happening to America, to a people whose hallmarks were once fierce independence, the quest for innovation and a willingness to take risks to do great things. It seems we're relegating those tasks and values to a military we send off to fight in remote corners of the world while we invite government to take over more and more control of our lives — to "protect us" from ourselves, each other and Mother Nature.
Flying certainly isn't as risky as being a Marine in Afghanistan, but as American Airlines' former president C.R. Smith famously said, "Aviation is not unsafe, but like the sea, it is terribly unforgiving of any carelessness or neglect." Learning and becoming a pilot demands discipline, hard work and some risk-taking. That's just the way it is and always will be, politically correct or not. Academics and bureaucrats who think pilots can be trained from the get-go in the safety of a simulator and that flying itself is best left to computers need to re-evaluate those ideas, especially after accidents — air carrier and general aviation — in "fly-by-wire" airplanes with "magenta line wonders" at the controls.
Maybe another reason lies in the social aspect. I think about how different things are today at "my" airport, with every hangar and ramp behind an eight-foot fence, electronic gates, "Citizens on Patrol" cars policing the road, "warning" and "do not ..." signs all over the place and the subtle but real aura of suspicion that greets a new face. Pilots don't hang out like they used to on Saturday afternoons, and I guess the "geezers" telling tall tales at the local FBO on Sunday mornings have all gone west.
Today, after a student surmounts the hurdles to enroll in a flying school, he's electronically "buzzed in" through a gate in a high fence when he comes for a lesson (which he scheduled online). He meets, one-on-one, with his instructor in a private area and debriefs there after the flight. He studies for the written online at home (precious few weekly ground school lessons exist anymore) and only occasionally may come across another student to talk to and compare notes with at the airport. Finally, like David Zombek, he completes the requirements and takes the test — and then, what?
Where's the camaraderie, the fun, the friendships, the good-natured teasing and competition, and the plans for fly-in breakfast runs or overnights to Put-in-Bay or maybe the search for an airplane to buy alone or with a partner? Where are all the flying clubs?
Thank heaven there still are people like David and Clara Ling Jia Ang, a lady with very different experiences and goals in aviation but who is no less passionate or committed. This pretty, diminutive 20-something learned to fly a Diamond in Cleveland and, at 90 hours, came to me for her Private Multiengine in the Duchess (BE-76) at Tim Epperhart's Flying Emporium in Middletown, Ohio. (It has a longer, more formal name, but it's a good flying school at Hook Field.) Clara recently graduated from the University of Dayton and is off to work on a graduate degree in aeronautical engineering at the University of Michigan — not too shabby.
I have to confess the oral was, well, perfunctory: pretty much limited to "rite of passage" questions about VMC, drag demonstrations, systems and performance charts. I was mildly intimidated (yes, moi!) by the certainty that Clara could make mincemeat out of me in any discussion of aerodynamics. I have no earthly idea why airplanes fly except that it's magic, and I usually find myself saying that very word every time I come off the ground.
Not only was the oral outstanding but the ride was also a joy. Clara's already a pretty good pilot and will probably be commanding a Mars mission one of these days. But you know what? I'm certain that when she comes back down to Earth she'll be right back to flying "little"airplanes just for (as Amelia would say) "the fun of it."

Paris Hilton Is Ticked
Paris Hilton is super ticked off at ABC and says the network totally set her up!
There are a few things you apparently shouldn't say to Paris Hilton. One of them is that she's a has-been. Hilton walked off the set of an interview with ABC after Dan Harris asked her in not so many words how it feels to be yesterday's news. Now Paris says the reason she was so upset is because she was obviously set up. Paris' peeps say the interview, set to air on Good Morning America, was supposed to be about the very serious topic of stalking -- Paris' own stalker was arrested earlier this month. Harris obviously deviated from that topic rather quickly. Hilton was further thrown by the fact that just moments before Harris was raving about the success of Hilton's $1 billion fragrance and merchandising lines. "It's ridiculous that he went on and on about her making a billion dollars, and then asking if she's relevant," said a source. "She is upset. She felt ambushed." Making it even worse is the fact that Hilton's peeps say she was told by ABC they would cut the walk-out portion of the interview, but it was left in anyway. The source says it's obvious that Harris orchestrated all of this to bring publicity to himself. Mission accomplished.

EDIT: Thanks for the Front Page, I really didn't expect it! And regarding the length of the movie... the reason it's short is so that it stays true to the Toy Machine animations, which are always short and to the point - The point being that there is no point ;)
This is a short animation based on an animated segment from the latest Toy Machine video. Any skateboarders out there might be aware of a company called Toy Machine - Each Toy machine video includes a little segment featuring some of the Toy Machine characters (usually the orange Transmissionator) getting up to all kinds of crazy antics, and featured in the latest video was a short animation. Being the big Toy Machine fan that I am, I decided to make my own short animation featuring the famous Transmissionator.
Make of it what you will... It's a little strange to say the least, but I hope you enjoy it anyway! :)

I really like how it is a complete flywheel and not just a weight. I could feel a small difference when the track was dry and hard but when the track was worked up and had traction it felt the same as stock. I wish they offered this in a little bit more weight but overall im happy with it.

Blue Devils all want to be the main guy
Every team that goes on to win a championship of some kind always seems to have a turning point that helps define the season.
No matter the sport, there is always one game or one moment that plays an incredibly pivotal role in helping define that particular team.
In the case of the Water Valley Blue Devils baseball team, that defining moment came shortly after the team wrapped up its fourth game in the Oxford Spring Break Tournament. After winning their first two games, the Blue Devils struggled against Grenada in a loss and were thoroughly beaten by Center Hill in the finale. (May 21, 2010, Page 7a)

World No Tobacco Day — May 31, 2012
Please note: An erratum has been published for this article. To view the erratum, please click here.
Tobacco use is the leading preventable cause of death worldwide. Approximately 6 million deaths related to tobacco use occur each year, including 600,000 from second-hand smoke. If current trends continue, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), by 2030, approximately 8 million persons will die each year from tobacco use, and 80% of those persons will reside in low- and middle-income countries (1).
In 1987, WHO designated May 31 as World No Tobacco Day to draw global attention to the health risks of tobacco use. In 2005, provisions of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control took effect. A total of 175 countries have ratified this treaty, making it one of the most widely embraced treaties in United Nations history (2).
The treaty commits countries to protect the public's health by adopting various measures to reduce demand for tobacco. Those measures include increased pricing of tobacco products, protection from exposure to tobacco smoke, and regulation of product contents, packaging, and advertising (3). A reduction in smoking prevalence worldwide of 20%–25% could prevent 100 million premature deaths by 2020 (4).

safety from Dr Mel Siff's (www.drmelsiff.com) book "Facts and Fallacies of Fitness" (2000).
More of Mel Siff brilliant work, and those who are continuing it at http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/supertraining
Shoe manufacturers would have us believe that the primary solution to most
Aerobics or running injuries is the wearing of expensive footwear. Ailments
such as shin splints, iliotibial band syndrome and peripatellar pain are
attributed variously to excessive shock loading of the limbs, pronation or
supination. Research, however, reveals that fewer injuries occur among
those who wear thin soled shoes or no shoes at all, even though the heel
strike forces are greater.
Furthermore, running shoes seem to be associated with fewer injuries in
fitness classes than so-called 'aerobics shoes'. Nigg, in his book "The
Biomechanics of Running Shoes", reports that on firm shock absorbing mats,
the difference in heel strike force is minimal between bare feet, thick-soled
shoes and thin-soled shoes. Nigg also points out that the use of any shoe
usually increases the tendency of the foot to pronate, particularly if the
impact forces are smaller.
Moreover, several studies have shown that there is no correlation between the
amount of shoe cushioning and impact absorption by footwear during
locomotion. Similarly, other research has been unable to provide evidence
that expensive athletic footwear improves protection from injury to the lower
extremities. The following references address these issues:
Caspersen C et al (1984) The incidence of injuries and hazards in
recreational and fitness runners Med Sci Sports Exerc 16: 113
Clarke T et al (1982) The effects of shoe cushioning upon selected force
and temporal patterns in running Med Sci Sports Exerc 14: 144
Powell K et al (1986) An epidemiological perspective on the causes of
running injuries Phys Sports Medicine 14: 100-114
Robbins S & Hanna A (1987) Running related injury prevention through
barefoot adaptations Med Sci Sports Exerc 19: 148-156
Robbins S, et al (1988) Overload protection: avoidance response to heavy
plantar surface loading Med Sci Sports Exerc 20(1) : 85-92
Shoe Design
Clearly, the science of athletic shoe design is far from being exact. In shoe
design, the current focus is on foot pronation Other possible causes of
injury such as toe, ankle, knee and hip movement in three dimensions are
largely neglected.
Little work has been done on relating lower limb injury to structural and
functional factors such as body mass, height or limb length, level of motor
skill, balance between muscle groups, patterns of EMG activity or bone
density. No published work has yet examined aerobics shoes with this degree
of thoroughness. Nor has it been able to carry out entirely satisfactory
three-dimensional studies of all physical factors which influence the
efficiency of foot movement from initiation to termination of movement and
then relate it to the optimal design of any shoe.
Pronation or Supination?
In particular, the actions of pronation and supination are invariably
oversimplified. Little is said about the orientation of the foot: whether it
is in a neutral, internally rotated or externally rotated position is not
mentioned when injuries to the lower extremities are analysed. Sometimes,
pronation is regarded as a synonym for inversion and supination as a synonym
for eversion, or even vice versa.
The distinction between these terms is vital to the scientific understanding
of foot mechanics and shoe design. Pronation of the foot refers to inward
rolling of the foot with weight being transferred more to its inside edge.
Supination refers to outward rolling of the foot with a transfer of more
weight to its outside edge. Both of these terms refer essentially to
rotation about a single axis, i.e. a two dimensional activity which can be
described completely by two numbers in mathematical space.
Inversion is a complex movement comprising simultaneous internal rotation of
the leg, plantarflexion and supination. Conversely, eversion is a
combination of external rotation of the leg with dorsiflexion and pronation.
In other words, these movements involve rotation about three mutually
perpendicular axes.
Since walking, running, aerobics and numerous similar activities involve the
foot in rapid three dimensional actions in space and in contact with the
ground, inversion and eversion can be seen to be the most appropriate factors
to examine if lower limb efficiency and safety is to be ensured. It is
inaccurate and seriously oversimplistic to rely on two dimensional
pronation-supination models of lower extremity injuries.
A three dimensional approach immediately identifies three major factors which
may be responsible for inefficient foot mechanics:
* the degree of internal/external rotation of the leg about the knee and the
lower extremity about the hip
* the degree of plantarflexion or dorsiflexion of the foot
* the degree of pronation or supination of the ankle.
As shoe design is not concerned primarily with what the lower extremity does
in free space, the magnitude of the above factors is most relevant while the
foot is in contact with the ground.
Shock absorbing soles, wedges and various orthotic devices are able to modify
significantly the degree of pronation or supination, but do not have a major
effect on the first two factors. Before purchasing a special shoe or
orthotic device, one should determine by careful biomechanical analysis which
of the three above factors are contributing most strongly to a particular
individual's problem.
The problem may have little to do with excessive pronation or supination. It
may be concerned with one or both of the other factors as well – and these
are influenced dominantly by exercise technique, a neuromuscular phenomenon.
In other words, an improvement of movement skills, with or without a special
shoe, may be the best solution to foot-strike injuries.
Irrespective of how well designed shoes are, they must be used correctly in
different movements. In doing so the user must also be aware that shoes
always reduce the proprioceptive and tactile sensitivity to the surface on
which they are being used. Forces exerted on the shoe are delayed in being
transmitted through its shock absorbing sole en route to the foot. The reflex
positive supporting reaction which normally operates highly efficiently in
bare feet, is impaired in providing rapid cybernetic control and correction
of unsafe movements when shoes are worn.
The use of bare feet on firm, high density chip-foam mats preserves the
proprioceptive efficiency and lowers the centre of gravity of the body,
thereby reducing the moments of force about all joints of the lower limb.
Since the average commercial fitness centre is unlikely to encourage the use
of bare feet for reasons of appearance or cleanliness, it would probably be
more appropriate to recommend wearing soft ballet-type pumps or gymnastic
shoes in aerobics classes held on sprung wooden floors or very high density
chip-foam matting.
Arch Support
Some authorities recommend the use of special arches or shoe inserts to
absorb reactive landing forces and attenuate stress to the ankles, knees,
hips, back and body in general.
However, books such as Nigg's "Biomechanics of Running Shoes" and
publications by S Robbins (Med Sci Sports Exerc 1987, 1988), point out that
the natural shock absorption capabilities of the foot may be severely
compromised by various arch and foot supports. In fact, these and other
publications reveal that there is a greater incidence of lower extremity
injuries among those who wear soft shock absorbing shoes (Some of this
research is summarised in Siff , "Supertraining" 2000, Ch 8).
Shock absorption by the bare foot is a very clever process which involves at
least the following passive and active methods of control:
* the foot arch is flexible like the leaf springs in many cars and is meant
to sag to absorb vertical shocks passively
* the connective tissue-linked matrix of various small bones in the feet is
meant to splay outwards to offer further passive shock absorption
* the skeletal structure of the foot and ankle allows the foot to 'roll' and
'sag' along its full length to distribute loading from heel to toe, thereby
offering another dynamic cantilever-like shock absorbing mechanism
* the tendons from the toes continue up the lower leg as part of the various
leg muscles and they change tension under neuromuscular control to offer
active control of impulsive loading
Firm arch supports, tight laces, highly resilient soles and relatively
inflexible soles tend to decrease the leg's natural shock absorbing
capabilities and compel higher structures in the body, such as the knees,
hips and back, in order to cope with the shocks of landing. The thickness
and mechanical composition of the sole also slows down the ability of the
body to react to pressure on the soles of the feet, thereby compounding the
problem. In other words, in many cases, some "preventative" measures may do
exactly the opposite of what is intended.

Running Injuries -high Conversion Lucrative Niche "pilates 4 Runners"

Will Be Adding 1click Upsell Products Soon Http://www.strongrunning.com/affiliates more info…Running injury; any possible remedies/precautions?
I recently started running about 3 miles a day. I'll run one day at the gym on the treadmill when I lift and on days I don't lift, I run on an asphalt track built around a lake nearby. My right big toe seems to balloon up, turns red/purple and pains me to a limp after a run. The next day it gets substantially better to the point where I can run again, but it still hurts a bit. The pain in between is substantial, sometimes, to the point where I can't concentrate on what I'm doing. I really enjoy running and have no plans to digress. I have a 4 month old pair of Nike Shox that are broken in well, if that makes a difference. Please let me know if you have any suggestions on remedies or precautions I should take as I am new to running.
I'm an avid outdoor and treadmill runner and I can tell you that Nike Shox are not considered a running shoe. Go to any running store and most likely will not carry Shox. I have a pair of Shox and use them when lifting weights or wearing them outside. I love the way they look but I know the toe compartment in the shoe is compact.
My advise is to go to a running store and have them fit you for a 2 or 3 different pairs that they recommend. You choose the pair that feels the best to you. They can tell by looking at your feet whether you may have issues (such as under pronate, over pronate, etc) All of these can be corrected with the proper running shoe and the proper fit.
Some running stores have a treadmill in the store and they offer "gait analysis" so they can watch your form while you run.
I over pronate and this has been corrected by a pair of Brooks Addiction 7′s.
Since you are at a gym, try to also cross train on Elliptical and Stairmaster. Both are excellent cardio machines.
In closing, Runners World has an EXCELLENT online site that deals with topics like injury prevention and training programs. They even have a great listing of running shoes.
Good Luck!

1. Choose a country to be the theme of the cultural night.
2. Prepare dinner using a recipe from that country.
3. Together, locate that country on a map or globe and talk about the length of time it would take to travel there.
4. Set up your chairs like an airplane and "fly" to your destination for the evening. As the flight attendant, teach your "passengers" about where they are going. You may even be able to find and watch a movie or informational video relating to the country and its culture.
5. When you "land," have each person put on clothing from that country.
6. Learn some common phrases, such as greetings and counting to 10.
7. During dinner, listen to music from that culture and discuss the culture.
8. Talk about the different religious practices common to that culture. Then spend some time praying for Christians living in that country.
9. Discuss what a child's day looks like in that country. How is it different from a typical day here in the United States? Talk about issues such as school, work, housing, food and water, and church.
10. Pray together about how you might continue to learn about other cultures and ask God to give you a compassionate and generous heart.

"After three long years of investigating, we are announcing the end of the active phase of the search for Susan," said West Valley City Manager Wayne Pyle.
West Valley Police said they've done all they can do to find missing West Valley mom Susan Cox Powell.
"We're leaving no stone unturned," said Mike Powell, West Valley City Deputy Chief.
Not only are they stopping the search, they're turning over every document they've got.
"We are going to release all the investigation materials that West Valley owns that are associated with the case," said Pyle.
Altogether it's 20 gigabytes of material, totaling more than 30,000 documents. Monday ABC 4 Utah Reporter Brian Carlson began reading as many as he could. He found a letter in notebook Susan wrote to Josh. In it she describes the struggles of their marriage.
"I'm not threatening a divorce, but what you ask of me is too great to bear," said Susan in the letter.
"You don't want me to participate in anything related to the church, the gospel or that thing I believe will truly make me happy," she said.
Susan describes how Josh had given up on living the lifestyle of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She said it was heartbreaking for her, because that's what attracted her to him.
"I have to ask myself now, was this an act? Were you just pretending?" Susan said.
Those marriage problems become more apparent in a document from a 911 call shortly after Susan disappeared. In the call, a woman claims that "she is having a sexual relationship with the husband in the Powell case."
And that woman, quote:
"Thinks that he hurt his wife because of the way he was acting today on the phone."
The woman explained, "stating she has been seeing Josh Powell for the last three years." And, "Josh told her that his wife died of cancer."
But as revealing as this documents are, many more look like a blank black page, where all the information is completely blacked out. And whatever information is hidden inside the remaining pages, police said it was never enough to charge Josh with a crime in Susan's disappearance.
"It never materialized to the point where we felt like we had sufficient evidence to bring a criminal charge of murder against Josh Powell," said Deputy Chief Phil Quinlan, West Valley City Police.
West Valley police said they do believe Josh was involved in Susan's disappearance. They don't believe Steven Powell played an active role. Police performed wire taps on both of them, and it never gave them any hard evidence. Police said they will leave the case open, and investigate any new leads that come up, but for now with Susan's body never being found, the active investigation is over.
