October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in the United States, aside from skin cancer. According to the American Cancer Society (ACS), an estimated 192,370 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed among women in the United States this year. An estimated 40,170 women are expected to die from the disease in 2009 alone. Today, there are about 2.5 million breast cancer survivors living in the United States.
I have two aunts who are breast cancer survivors.
This is a disease that will affect almost every single one of us at some point in our life.Zeus wrote:

Re: October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month
A good-looking, middle-aged man walked quietly into the cafe and sat down. Before he ordered, he couldn't help notice a group of younger men at the table next to him. It was obvious they were making fun of something about him, and it wasn't until he remembered he was wearing a small pink ribbon on the lapel of his suit that he became aware of what the joke was all about. The man brushed off the reaction as ignorance, but the smirks began to get to him. He looked one of the rude men square in the eye, placed his hand beneath the ribbon and asked, quizzically...
"This?†With that the men all began to laugh out loud. The man he addressed said, as he fought back laughter...
"Sorry man, but we were just commenting on how pretty your little ribbon looks against your blue jacket!â€Â
The middle aged man calmly motioned for the joker to come over to his table, and invited him to sit down. As uncomfortable as he was, the guy obliged, not really sure why. In a soft voice, the middle aged man said
"I wear this ribbon to bring awareness about breast cancer. I wear it in my mother's honour.†"Oh, sorry man. She died of breast cancer?â€Â
"No, she didn't. She's alive and well. But her breasts nourished me as an infant, and were a soft resting place for my head when I was scared or lonely as a little boy. I'm very grateful for my mother's breasts, and her health.â€Â
"Umm,†the stranger replied, "Yeah.†"And I wear this ribbon to honour my wife,†the middle aged man went on.
"And she's okay, too?â€Â, the other guy asked.
"Oh, yes. She's fine. Her breasts have been a great source of loving pleasure for both of us, and with them she nurtured and nourished our beautiful daughter 23 years ago. I am grateful for my wife's breasts, and for her health.â€Â
"Uh huh. And I guess you wear it to honour your daughter, also?â€Â
â€ÂNo. It's too late to honour my daughter by wearing it now. My daughter died of breast cancer one month ago. She thought she was too young to have breast cancer, so when she accidentally noticed a small lump, she ignored it. She thought that since it wasn't painful, it must not be anything to worry about.†Shaken and ashamed, the now sober stranger said...
"Geez, I'm really sorryâ€Â.
"So, in my daughter's memory, too, I proudly wear this little ribbon, which allows me the opportunity to enlighten others. Now, go home and talk to your wife and your daughters, your mother and your friends.â€Â
And here the middle-aged man reached in his pocket and handed the other man a little pink ribbon.
The guy looked at it, slowly raised his head and asked... "Can you help me put it on?â€ÂZeus wrote:

I like to periodically start EVERYTHING in the shed and let it run for 30 minutes or so, every month, during the winter. I think its a good thing to keep batteries up, things oiled, and gas moving around a bit in the carbs and run long enough to get the moisture out of the engine as best it can. Yesterday, I fired up 8 tractors, three small engines, 5 lawnmowers and one hit and miss engine. Everything ran fine EXCEPT one cub, which had a distinct miss. A few seconds with a long, well insulated screwdriver quickly identified #1 cylinder as the culprit. Its a completely rebuilt engine, and I immediately figured I had a fouled plug. Pullled the plug, bead blasted it, reset the gap, and stuck it back in. Still had a miss............Hmmmpf. Pulled it again, and swapped it for another plug I had in a drawer. Still missing. Double Hmmmmpf. Okay, I may have two bad plugs. Swapped the FIRST plug for #4 plug, which I knew was firing fine. Still have a miss.... and its still #1.
Okay... maybe a mag cap issue. It was an old cap, after all. Perhaps a carbon track. Pulled the cap, and inspected it. Nothing of note. Swabbed it out and reinstalled. '
Still missing.
Looked around on the shelves and found a new cap. Installed it. Same problem. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAG>!
Put the old cap back on. This time, when I cranked it, I got a HUGE BANG backfire, which squirted a bit of oil out of the airbreather cap.
I was positive the timing was correct, but now I began to wonder.
I disconnect the mag center wire, (and have the kill switch doing its thing too) and have #1 son crank (by hand) the tractor over while I feel for compression in #1 to bring #1 to tdc and ck timing....what a surprise I found.
Now, remember, this is a rebuilt engine. New valves, guides, pistons, bearings, seals, the works. It NEVER occurred to me it could be a mechanical problem, but now, it was undeniable. As #1 son cranked #1 piston, I felt NO compression or intake on #1.
At this point there are two conflicting feelings going on.
1. I'm happy I've discovered the problem, suspecting strongly a stuck intake valve.
2. Worried, wondering how badly stuck it was.......
Two bolts out, one valve cover removed in about 2 minutes reveals that yes, the #1 intake valve is stuck. It took about 30 seconds with a screwdriver to loosen the valve back to working condition.
2 more minutes to reinstall the cover and another minute to put the #1 plug back in and snap the wires back in place..
30 more seconds to choke, crank, unchoke, and crank again and Voila"... it ran perfectly.
Added a touch of Marvel Mystery oil to the gas... can't hurt.
Lesson learned.....

The department says the crash, which happened Saturday morning, has limited westbound travel on the interstate to a single lane near Riggs Road. Both directions of I-10 are backed up.
Transportation department spokesman Garin Groff said drivers should consider alternate routes until the crash is cleared. He did not immediately release any details about the crash.

In Veronese dialect, "Cormi" means "my heart," a name that also reflects the Zenato familys dedication to the Valpolicella region. It is a passion that is readily evident in the final wine.

The Great Republican Tantrum takes me back to my child-rearing days.
Whenever the trouble-maker in my brood threw an ugly fit at a store because she wanted something she couldn't have or because she didn't want to leave the play area — and my efforts to reason with her failed — I would strap The Offender in the stroller, explain to the others that we had to leave because of the behavior, and calmly but purposely walked out of the mall.
The wails of The Offender could be heard across the halls, attracting all sorts of onlookers who expressed different points of view, depending on what righteous side of the parenting discipline scale they embraced.
They uttered them loud enough for me to hear.
I endured the onslaught — and my mother's attempts to mediate a compromise she wouldn't have accepted as a mother, but as a grandmother now judged reasonable (not to mention, she didn't want to leave the mall).
By the time we got to the car, I could see in the once-defiant little red face budding evidence of repentance, but no acceptance of guilt, no apology.
As I drove home, I could hear from the back of the Volvo the sisters chastising her.
"This is all your fault!"
"Uh, uh," she would mumble, negating responsibility.
It took two or three of these incidents and the same playbook to make my point stick: I don't acquiesce to extortion.
But after the second aborted trip to the mall, we negotiated a peace treaty: If everyone behaved while we first took care of necessary shopping, I would buy each child one book (two smiled, The Offender frowned) — and one favorite trinket, which could be a toy (The Offender then smiled), but not necessarily (the voracious reader always chose a second book as a "favorite," and I admit that because we shared this value, I was more generous with the budgeting for this purpose).
The trips to the mall became a joy — and together, my children and I grew an impressive collection of children's books, an eclectic mix of subjects in two languages still in bookshelves all over the house, the most popular stored in what is now known as "Abuela Mom's Treasure Chest."
Time delivers miracles.
The Offender's son is the treasure chest's No. 1 fan.
Nothing makes me happier than seeing him riffling through the books to find his favorite, the Berenstain Bears' The Spooky Old Tree, the story of three scared but adventurous little bears who go "into, up, through, over, down, and out" a mysterious old tree until they find their way home.
True to his roots, The Offender's son has thrown his own tantrums at the mall — and guess what she did?
When reason failed, she stood up to his extortion.
Abuela Mom tried to negotiate (her heart, now grown tender, broke easily; and like her mother, she too wanted to stay at the mall).
For the good of all, however, she put aside her weepiness and supported The Offender-Turned-Mother-in-Chief 100 percent.
It worked. Once more, the raising of a brat was averted.
So here's a toast to hope and redemption, and a wish that against the odds The Great Republican Tantrum subsides.
The nation needs its happy ending.

An Arizona food bank has delivered more than 600 food boxes to Grand Canyon National Park and a gateway community to help out government and concession workers who have been furloughed from their jobs.
The Grand Canyon is closed to visitors because of the partial government shutdown.
The pastor of a church inside the park reached out to Phoenix-based St. Mary's Food Bank for help. The Rev. Patrick Dotson says many of the affected workers live paycheck to paycheck and are struggling to provide food for their families.
The food bank trucked the boxes from Phoenix to the small community of Tusayan near the canyon's South Rim and then inside the park.
Tusayan business owners also held a protest Tuesday against the Grand Canyon's continued closure.

Love this recipe . This recipe has been in our family for years:) Not once have I ever come across a recipe for carrot cake made with carrot baby food until yours! This would make my mom smile. She died so young at age 45 in 1970. Thankfully she had written down this family recipe before she died and we make it several times a year. Its the best, so very moist:) Everyone should try this great recipe.

This comment is not about the recipe although it sounds delish. I used to make one similar to this but it included nuts and a jar of baby food prunes...now prunes are difficult to find in the baby food section. My comment is re what that food taster/chef said to you about you being the worst thing on television regarding food (that's not verbatim, but whatever his comment was). Anyway, I thought that was tacky on his part to make such a rude remark about you, and I loved your comment that someone must have peed in his cereal!!! Way to hand it back to him, Paula. Your cooking style may not be his cooking style, but it takes all kinds, and I'm sure I prefer your cooking over his any day. He is probably a "city slicker" and doesn't know what good food is. My son is living in NYC and he, being from small town USA and from the south as well, is really getting an education from dealing with some of the people with whom he comes in contact. But, don't let that fellow get the best of you...you are above all his mean comments!!

We have 2 versions of this file, one in English & other in non-English. Both are provided & both of them work perfectly. The best thing is it is so easy to use this metin2 hack!
- Works only on client side but tricks the server by sending package data from client which means you are able to buy anything or give these yangs to anyone, but once you do that the yang disappears from there account because it doesn't exist!
- Add upto 500k yang in a single go. Can add once every 10 second!
- Works even if the server has 'Hack Shield', because the hack runs in background & has nothing to do with the client directly.
- This is not a cheat engine hack or multihack, its real.
- works well with other hacks running, but might make it slow.
- Easy to launch, install & use, few buttons clicked and you have your hacks!
- this is current and latest version of metin2 yang hack, with 2 files, will update when new version comes.
- You cant get banned if someone reports you for scamming, because staff get no logs since the yang hack runs on client side & data is not recoded on server side!
- Yangs goes back to normal on your account once you relog, so use them when you have them, no chance of getting caught!
- Also works on all metin2 servers not just gameforge, but instead of yang you get metin2 gold
Download link is below along with instructions on how to make it work. The files are also scanned previously and the scan result for metin2 yang hack are also given below!

It's no secret that we're big Lizzy Caplan fans around here. So when I saw this on the Fresh Air Tumblr, well, there's no way it wasn't getting posted.
With New York Fashion Week beginning tomorrow, we thought you'd enjoy this hilarious fashion film by clothing label Vena Cava to launch their lower priced line, Viva Vena.
The lovely Lizzy Kaplan stars in this funny spoof of fashion films by clothing labels that some of you — and all of you fashionistas (myself included) — have come to know.
Perfect casting choice. Perfect.

Tempting Tog
Tog are curious creatures by nature, and if there is commotion, they will come to investigate. Tempting one of the pickiest fish in the ocean requires some savvy. "Feeding bergalls and small tog will hype up the larger fish and get them to come investigate what's going on, but many times, they wait and watch. You don't want to keep losing baits to smaller tog, so go big," says Knie. Going big for Crazy Alberto means using large white-legger crabs or even whole blue-claw crabs. And timing is everything. "You want to fish when the tide is slack, without much current," says Neill. "I like fishing from early light up until about 10 a.m." Knie adds: "When the water slacks up a bit, it's an up-and-down approach though best with a tiny bit of current; or if it's dead slack, even a twang with your forefinger and thumb on the braided line will make the crab bait dance and tease the fish."
The hook-set is also an art form. "You know you've got a big tog on when it moves the weight, actually picks it up and moves along the bottom with it. Drop the rod tip to give a belly to the line to make the crab look natural and let the fish inhale the bait on a slack line."
Regarding the battlegrounds, there will be a lot of casualties. "You're going to lose lead and rigs. It's a fact of life when targeting bulldog tog, so gear up accordingly." Knie's breakaway rig is designed to sacrifice the sinker when it sticks in structure. "On most of the large blackfish I've caught, I've had to break off the sinker when they get back into the wreck. I lose the sinker but come back to the dock with a tog to talk about."
Beating the Beast
There's no room for pussyfooting when dealing with behemoth blackfish. "When you connect, you have to reel fast and outmuscle that fish. Get him five feet above the wreck to even be in the game," says Knie. "They play dirty: They are in their kitchen and they know where the knives are to cut you off. Keep your drag set to 30 pounds, almost locked, to pull them out. If you get them outside the five-foot window, they are yours."
Braided line offers the sensitivity to feel the strike and boasts pulling power to get tog off the bottom, with a minute bit of stretch from a fluorocarbon leader to prevent a pulled hook. A 10-pound tautog is the trophy fish of lifetime, but when you breach the 12-plus-pound mark, consider yourself among the elite. "You can fish for grouper, big snapper, whatever, but pound for pound, a 10-pound tautog puts them all to shame. And a 15- to 20-pound tog? Forget about it," says Knie.
Anthony Monica continues to hold the world record — a 25-pound blackfish caught out of Atlantic City, New Jersey — but records are made to be broken. Implement these tactics the next time you're out chasing down bulldog tog, and maybe you can lay claim to one of the most underground, respected titles of the fishing world.

2007 Vol. 51, Number 1
High-tech jobs for a high-tech economy
by Nicholas Terrell
Job prospects
STEM workers hold jobs in every State. But
six States—California, Texas, New York, Florida,
Virginia, and Illinois—accounted for 40 percent of these
jobs in 2005.
Growing demand for technological advances
means more jobs for STEM workers. BLS projects job growth
for STEM occupations as a whole between 2004 and 2014.
Nearly all the major STEM groups are
expected to have about the same rate of growth as the
national average. The exception is computer specialist
occupations, which are expected to grow much faster than
the average. (See table 2.)
Projected job growth varies widely by
specific occupation, from a 55-percent projected growth
for network systems and data communications analysts to
about a 2-percent decline for mining and geological
More STEM workers also will be needed to
replace those who are leaving these occupations. Many
highly skilled workers will retire, change careers, or
move to management positions over the next decade. Between
2004 and 2014, employers are expected to hire about 2.5
million STEM workers who are entering their occupation for
the first time.
For more information
Although this article describes STEM
occupations generally, there are important distinctions
among the occupations. Detailed information about these
occupations is in the Occupational Outlook Handbook.
The Handbook is available in many libraries and
career counseling offices and is online at www.bls.gov/oco.
Detailed earnings and employment
information is also available from the BLS Occupational
Employment Statistics survey. The information is online at
www.bls.gov/oes. Specific projections of job growth
in occupations and industries are available from the BLS
Office of Occupational Statistics and Employment
Projections. This information is also available online at www.bls.gov/emp.

P.S.Studio pipes are designed by Vladimir Grechukhin (whose personal line we also sell under this brand category) and they are made by two pipe makers under his care. Located in St.Petersburg, Russia, Grechukhin began making pipes in the 1970s. At that time, briar was very scarce and Vladimir was working with other woods. Early on, his skill was honed and noticed; which cemented him as one of Russia's top pipe makers.
Grechukhin pipes are all hand-carved from excellent briar, and feature excellent solid-rod mouthpieces with tenons turned from the same stock. His pipes are either smooth or sandblasted, and the accents are delicate pieces of horn, boxwood, or black palm. The P.S.Studio pipes are a great hidden gem. Many of them have faux-horn (acrylic) mounts and even have stems hand-cut from vulcanite rod. To save time, premade delrin tenons are attached, and they make taking the stem out very smooth. Finishes of the P.S.Studio line can be smooth, sandblasted, or rotary-tool rusticated.
6 PS Studio pipes in this category.

Planning for the Fall
Teaching faculty, are you doing any planning yet for the fall semester? "Too early," you say? Not if you are going to need new materials in the library either in the general collection or to place on reserve. We do not carry the required textbook for your classes, but many professors like to have other required or optional reading placed on reserve. If you order them in the spring before you leave for the summer, and fill out reserve forms for the ones you want on reserve, we can have them processed and ready on the first day of class. We never know how long it might take to get some materials, so planning early is a must if you are going to require reading from items that we have to order.
So avoid the mad scramble to get what you need in place for your students. Request materials now so that we can get them ordered and ready for you. You can find the request form here, and remember that the more information on each item you can give us, the greater chance that we can find exactly what you are looking for. Thanks for helping us serve you better!
Survey Winners Announced
We had nearly 240 respondents for our annual survey, and we thank you for your helpful feedback. We are just now beginning to analyze the data, which we plan to use to help us better meet our constituents' information needs.
From the Director
There is a lot of buzz these days about "big data" such as the kind of statistics that Facebook and Google gather about their users' preferences, likes, dislikes, etc. The Internet and our computer technology has now allowed us to gather data at such an astounding pace that 92 percent of the world's data was created in the last 2 years according to Judy Bahary, Senior Vice President of comScore, Inc.
Here are a few specifics to mull over:
• Google records two million searches every second
• Something is bought on eBay via a mobile device every second
• 72 hours of video are added to YouTube every minute
• 120 billion pieces of data are added to Facebook each month
• comScore captures 1.4 trillion digital interactions each month.
The implications of this technological ability and how it is currently being used can be frightening as it relates to privacy and control issues. The potential for what we can learn about ourselves as a society is amazing, and is often touted as a great benefit. But if we can learn a lot about ourselves, how much can others learn about us with or without our consent? Who are those "others" and what restrictions should we demand be placed upon their use of data about us in order to safeguard our privacy? As with any technological advance, the ability to gather big data is fraught with the potential for good or evil, legitimate use or abuse. Like it or not, big data affects us all, and we should all be in the conversation about it.

RALEIGH — The biggest road race in Raleigh history and the extensive series of roadblocks it required drew mixed reviews from city residents Monday.
Some drivers said they were stuck in traffic for an hour because of Sundays Rock n Roll Marathon, while others said plenty of advance notice about detours helped them navigate and get to church on time.
But one thing was clear we get to do this all over again for the next four years. The Greater Raleigh Convention and Visitors Bureau has a five-year contract with Competitor Group, the for-profit company that organizes the races in dozens of cities.
The contract guarantees marathons on the second Sunday in April including another event on Palm Sunday in 2017.
City officials say theyll address any logistical problems from Sunday as they plan for next years marathon.
Beth Gaines, pastor at Fairmont United Methodist Church, said shes hoping future marathons wont run past her sanctuarys front doors on Clark Avenue. Fairmont was completely circled by Sundays race course, and Rock n Roll agreed to two crossings where police allowed cars to pass whenever they saw a break in the runners.
With 12,500 runners coming down Clark, that didnt work out as well as planned.
The runners were so thick, they were shoulder to shoulder for nearly an hour, Gaines said. From 8:30 to 9:30, you could not cross.
Fortunately, Fairmont had already dropped its usual 9:45 a.m. Sunday school classes to hold an outdoor Jerusalem marketplace. The congregation was invited to drop by between 10 and noon.
We all eventually got there, Gaines said. Had we had a typical Sunday morning planned, that would not have happened.
Fairmonts neighbors, West Raleigh Presbyterian and Pullen Memorial Baptist, moved or rescheduled their services to avoid delays.
Stuck in Oakwood
Much of the Oakwood neighborhood also was surrounded by a steady stream of runners. Residents reported getting stuck for more than an hour at the two course crossing points on Glascock Street the only way in and out of the neighborhood. Some others in Oakwood stayed home and took to Twitter to complain of loud rock music and cheering that awakened them at 7 a.m.
Backups were also reported on Western Boulevard, where some families found it impossible to reach the kid-friendly attractions of Pullen Park. And runners experienced traffic, too, as they clogged South Saunders Street ahead of the 7 a.m. start, delaying the event for 10 minutes.
But with clear detour routes in place, downtown churches fared better. Chris Chapman, pastor of First Baptist Church on Salisbury Street, said he saw the usual attendance numbers for Palm Sunday after sending notices to his congregation for weeks in advance.
I think everybody who made an effort got here and things went very well, he said. All in all, people seemed to be able to park where they normally do.
Credit to organizers
Chapman credited Rock n Roll organizers for tweaking the marathon route after outcry from churches complaining that they would lose access for Palm Sunday services.
Scott Dupree, director of the Greater Raleigh Sports Alliance, declined to comment on the race logistics Monday, citing the deaths of two runners during the event. Out of respect for the families, I dont think its appropriate to review the event at this time, he said.
The Sports Alliance, a subsidiary of the Convention and Visitors Bureau, arranged the contract with Rock n Roll. It has touted a projected $2 million in visitor spending for the event, though a final economic impact report wont be complete for about six weeks.

Gay Activists Are Bullying Boy Scouts Of America
April 10, 2013
To the Readers' Forum: Regarding Gay Activists Bullying the Boy Scouts of America: Comment one: We all fall short of "God's" glory ... we're all very sin-ical....
The scouts announced today that they will lift their ban on gay kids in scouting. That's only half way. Now they need to lift their ban on gay leaders. They still are operating under the misconception that gays are child molesters.

Disagreeing with you does not denote an attack yet you (phil & 560's to the extreme) and Scalley all seem to think if someone disagrees with you then it is appropriate to go into personal attack mode. A slight is determined by the person receiving it, not the person committing it.
Scalley, your comment was pathetic.

please quote my "insult" simianlad so i can consequently make fun of you for being offended by something that's completely inane.
also, i've posted about other things besides homosexuality (which you would've noticed if you weren't here solely to beat the drum).
what you continue (& continue, & continue, & continue) to fail to understand is that the groups/entities that disagree with the discriminatory practices of the BSA have the rights (& have exercised said rights) to pull their funding.
but the crux (please try to grasp as this is the last time i'll explain) is you can't make a private organization accept everybody.
the friggin end.

so let them lose their funding. let them eat cake. maybe they can resort to selling boy scout cookies heck i don't know & i don't care. they are a private entity. ifs, &s, buts aside, i think it's great that entities with large sums of money that previously donated to the BSA have now stopped because of their discriminatory policies. good for them. end of story.
again, if the BSA chooses to disallow zebras, homosexuals, aliens, mailboxes, &/or frying pans well then that's their prerogative. just as we have the right to whine about what a private club does they also have the right to be narrow in their scope of membership.

Separate but equal? That was the basis for Jim Crow. Phil, you still miss the entire point. The Boy Scouts are losing funding from municipalities and corporations who have non-discrimination policies. They can still do what they want, just not with money from organizations who don't discriminate. It's sort of like you giving money to the charity of your choicer. Does that mean you are bullying the charities to which you don't contribute?

Isn't it wonderful how human nature can remain so consistent down through the generations. Pilgrims fled England because of intolerance and once established in New England, they became every bit as intolerant as the people causing them ti emigrate. Today, we have gays just as bullying as the people who bullied them in the past. And for some to just shrug it off as "what goes around comes around" just doesn't get it. Two wrongs don't make a right. Instead of forcing themselves on an organization, why don't they just form their own youth organization.

I wonder if suing this flower shop is considered bullying???
"The State of Washington is suing a small flower shop after the owner declined to provide flowers for a homosexual wedding – based on her religious beliefs.
Barronelle Stutzman, the owner of Arlene's Flowers in Richland, Wash., is facing thousands of dollars in fines and penalties for allegedly violating the state's Consumer Protection Act.
"If a business provides a product or service to opposite-sex couples for their weddings, then it must provide same-sex couples the same product or service," Attorney General Bob Ferguson said in a statement.
On March 1, a longtime customer asked Stutzman to provide flowers for his upcoming same-sex wedding. According to court documents, she told him that she would not be able to do so "because of her relationship with Jesus Christ."

What's So Great About Cardio?
A Healthy Heart
Cardiovascular disease (CVD), which includes diseases of the heart and blood vessels, such as stroke, is the leading cause of death in women, claiming nearly 500,000 lives a year. One in 10 women aged 45 to 64 and one in five women age 65 or older has some form of diagnosed heart disease. Despite these facts, many women still believe that heart disease is "for men only."
The good news is that heart disease is largely preventable. So, what can you do to get (and keep) your heart healthy and fit? First of all, be sure to discuss your risks for heart disease with your healthcare professional. Ask how often you should have your blood pressure and blood cholesterol measured. These simple tests can indicate an increased risk for heart disease.
Then: Get moving. "Research shows that cardiovascular fitness helps protect against heart disease. As fitness goes up, the incidence of heart disease goes down," says Judy Wilson, PhD, assistant professor in the Department of Kinesiology at the University of Texas at Arlington.
But don't throw in the towel at this often-repeated message. Working your way to fitness -- and health -- may just be easier than you think.What is cardiovascular fitness?
When a woman can walk briskly, jog, or swim comfortably for a half hour or more, she's achieved cardiovascular fitness: a strong, healthy heart and healthy lungs able to sustain activities that require oxygen. "Put simply, the more oxygen one can utilize, the more 'fit' that person is," Dr. Wilson says.How can cardiovascular fitness be achieved?
The means to cardiovascular fitness is cardiovascular exercise. "Cardiovascular exercise is any activity that involves the large muscles in the body, raises the heart rate, and is continuous and rhythmic," says Nieca Goldberg, MD, chief of Women's Cardiac Care at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City. This includes walking, biking, jogging, swimming, and even dancing.
Some women avoid aerobic exercise altogether because they fear they'll have to spend hours sweating in a gym to reach their cardiac fitness goals. But cardiovascular exercise can be done in a park, in a pool, or the comfort of your living room.

School competitions usually involve sports or academic questions of some kind.
But one competition uses some unique materials to build the minds of the future.
"It's tough to get it to do just what you want to so, it's tough," said Ote Albrecht a 6th grader from Le Mars, IA.
Saturday teams of kids, their parents and coaches from all over Northwest Iowa filled East High School with their Lego creations.
Running for almost a decade, students ranging in age from 9-14 have been using the Lego Mindstorms set to create and run robots in the FIRST LEGO League.
"You can program it right, but there's other stuff that can affect it too...the table, the mat," said Ote Albrecht.
Their first time in competition it's been a learning experience for Albrect and his teammates.
"He's learning about debugging at an early age. So if he would ever go into this profession, he would have a lot of experience with debugging the robot," said Mary Albrecht, the team's coach.
But programming a robot is not the only aspect in the competition; students have to do some research as well.
"It's more than just building Legos. It's teamwork, its research, its coming up with innovative solutions for things that help the world," said Doyle Massey Regional Coordinator for the Sioux City FIRST LEGO League.
Teams also have to find solutions to real world problems. This year's theme: Food Factor Challenge.
"They picked pork and they looked for a contamination area in pork. We took field trips, we talked to experts and I feel like the kids learned so much and I feel like I've learned so much," said Mary Albrecht.
But whether they're rookies or veterans, the teams and their coaches say that this competition has been fantastic.
"It's been overwhelming at times, but it's such a great experience," said Mary.
"What do you think about the competition all together? - its fun, it's good," said Ote.
Winners in Saturday's competition will head to Iowa State University next month to compete against teams from across Iowa.

Jessica Lee is a three-year-old little girl who was diagnosed with Rett Syndrome at 18 months.
Rett Syndrome is the most severe form of Autism and affects, almost exclusively, females.
At first glance, Jessica looks like a healthy little girl.
"She progressed normally as an infant, and then at about 15 months we started noticing that she started regressing," said Jessica's grandfather, Tim Westervelt.
After doctors diagnosed her with this neurodevelopmental disorder, Jessica lost her ability to speak, walk and use her hands.
"After her first birthday party, her mother decided it was too much for her and she walked out," Tim said.
Jessica's grandparents, Tim and Lisa Westervelt, decided to take full custody of Jessica and her little sister.
"We didn't think twice about taking care of these girls. I wouldn't want anybody else to raise her or take care of her," Lisa said.
Ashlyn Mcgee runs a horse rescue in Kilgore and has become good friends with Jessica's family.
"I fell in love with her right off the bat. She stopped feeding herself, she stopped eating, she stopped crawling…and that pretty much touched my heart," said Mcgee, who is also a mother of three.
Ashlyn called Jessica's grandmother and told her she wanted to raffle off one of her rescue horses; all of the proceeds would go to Jessica.
"She about cried on the phone; it was a memorable moment," said Mcgee, with tears in her eyes.
Raffle tickets are $50. If you would like to enter the drawing, you can contact Ashlyn by email at email@example.com. You can also reach out to her by visiting her Facebook page www.facebook.com/BeautyNHorses.
"Nobody really knows about this disease; It's a terrible disease. I would just like for people to be aware of it and try to help with it," Tim said.

The Register-News
---- — SAO PAULO (AP) — The days of the caxirola, Brazil's version of the vuvuzela, may be over even before the Confederations Cup begins in June.
FIFA and the local 2014 World Cup organizing committee said Friday they are reconsidering whether to allow fans to use the maraca-like instrument during the warm-up tournament. The decision came after police in northeastern Brazil banned the instruments from football stadiums because of security concerns.
It is the second World Cup in a row there has been a controversy involving local instruments used by fan. Throughout the 2010 event in South Africa there was debate about the use of vuvuzelas — plastic horns which created a din that drowned out all other crowd noise.
