A family of four is lucky to be alive after an overnight fire destroyed their East Point home.
The fire started on the 2700 block of Hayden Drive around midnight.
According to a spokesperson with East Point Fire, a couple and their children and grandchildren lived in the home. The home has been in their family for over 40 years. officials say the entire family escaped the fire without injury.
The husband, a brain cancer survivor, saved his wife from the fire by, reportedly, carrying her out of the burning home. Apparently, the wife was nursing an ankle injury at the time of the fire.
Renita T. Shelton of East Point Fire says the home has been declared a total loss; and that the family had canceled their insurance due to the husband's brain cancer battle.
Authorities do not know what caused the fire but witnesses, on the scene, suspect it started in the basement.
This fire is still under investigation, at this time.
FOX 5's Trevor Shirley spoke with the family on Saturday. Click on the video above for the full report.

.Joseph Alicata objects to the planned reality show, "Growing Up Gold Coast" which debuts on the Lifetime channel in November. "Just as Jersey Shore added to the Italian stereotype and set back people from Jersey twenty years, this train wreck excuse for entertainment will undoubtedly further the already long list of 'Lawn Guy Land' stereotypes."
Dr. Susan Bartell is a psychologist who finds fault with candidates' behavior. "Regardless of whether you vote Democrat or Republican, I'm sure we can all agree that every person expecting to be a leader of a country should role model "good" behavior for kids and teens (and the rest of us!). Sadly, this does not seem to be a priority for our candidates."
Madeleine Berg offers a kale, lentil and sausage soup recipe. "Kale's profile is definitely trending up. We all have some idea that it is good for us. But, when faced with a lineup of green-leafies, could you positively ID the kale?"
Dr. Michael H. Polcino addresses fears about flu shots during pregnancy. "If you get vaccinated during your pregnancy, your unborn starts to get some protection during this period. This also gives the newborn a degree of protection in the first few months of life when their vaccinations have not been begun."
Missy Weiss explains the exciting hive life of the honeybee. "The honeybee is a fascinating example of insect behavior. These social organisms live in associations where their survival is dependent on mutual cooperation and the division of labor. A true matriarchal society, the queen bee (reproductive female) rules and controls all of her offspring (drones and workers)."

The always entertaining Pat Barry returned to the Octagon tonight (Fri., Dec. 6, 2013) at the Brisbane Entertainment Arena in Brisbane, Australia, for a heavyweight throwdown against Soa Palelei on the main card of the UFC Fight Night 33: "Hunt vs. Bigfoot" event.
It was expected the "Knockout of the Night" could come from this bout.
It just might after what Palelei did to Barry.
In the opening minutes of the contest, Palelie worked for a takedown, taking a couple attempts to get to it. Once he did, it didn't take long before he got to full mount. Not only that, he trapped one of Barry's arms, leaving him virtually unable to defend himself.
The ensuing onslaught of punches eventually found their mark and "HD" ended up staring at the lights with that all too familiar blank expression signifying the lights being on but nobody being home.

Living With Stroke
Resource Guide
is a brain injury that occurs when the brain's blood supply is interrupted. Without oxygen and nutrients from blood, brain tissue starts to die within minutes. Tissue loss in the brain causes a sudden loss of function. Another term for stroke is cerebrovascular accident (CVA).
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Like a heart attack, the early emergency treatment is given the better the recovery. Acute treatment is beginning to positive results if done within 4½ to 6 hours of the start of stroke.
The types of stroke include:
An ischemic stroke most often occurs when blood flow to the brain becomes blocked.
One of the following events may cause this blockage:
A stroke may also occur if a blood vessel breaks and bleeds into or around the brain. Hemorrhagic stroke is most common in young people. The leading causes of this type of stroke are:
Aneurysms predispose you to hemorrhagic stroke. An aneurysm is a weak spot in an artery that balloons out under pressure and can rupture, causing bleeding into the brain.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, stroke has affected 6.2 million Americans. Along with heart disease and cancer, stroke is one of the leading causes of death. Ischemic type occurs more often—in about 87% of the cases—compared to hemorrhagic.

Clery Act Information
The Federal Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act of 1990 - Right-To-Know Act
The safety and security of students, faculty, staff, and visitors is of primary concern to St. John Fisher College. The Safety and Security Department is fully committed to compliance with the Federal Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act of 1990.
Campus Sexual Assault Program
St. John Fisher College fully supports and enforces all local laws governing rape and sexual assault. It is the responsibility of all members of the College community to be aware of and adhere to these laws. The College provides educational programs and information on rape and sexual assault awareness and prevention. For the future safety of the victim and the college community, sex offenses should be reported immediately. Even if you decide not to report the sexual assault, it is important to get medical help as soon as possible.
Important Steps to Take After a Sexual Assault
- Get help! Tell the first person you meet that you need help.
- Call Safety and Security to report the incident. Security personnel must contact the police.
- Support is available through the Health & Wellness Center.
- Ask someone to accompany you to the hospital.
- Do not destroy clothes, douche or bath. This will destroy evidence.
In the event of a sexual assault, it is strongly recommended that a formal report is made to a College official. When a formal report is made, the College will complete an appropriate investigation to determine if referral to law enforcement and/or the Student Conduct Process should occur. Additionally, the College will assist the alleged victim in reporting the incident to outside law enforcement officials if he/she chooses to pursue a criminal complaint. St. John Fisher College fully supports all local, state, and federal laws prohibiting rape and sexual assault and will cooperate with law enforcement officials who are investigations such allegations to the fullest extent allowed under the law.
The College will make every effort to provide appropriate medical and mental health support to persons who inform the college they have been sexually assaulted. Support may also include changes in academic, work, and/or living situations if reasonable alternatives exist, following a formal report of an alleged incident.
In keeping with New York State Law, incidents involving violent felony offenses reported to the College are automatically reported to local law enforcement authorities, except in those instances in which the report is made only to a campus minister in Campus Ministry or to a mental health counselor or health care provider in the Health & Wellness Center.
The Wetterling Act
The Jacob Wetterling Crimes Against Children and Sexually Violent Offender Registration Act set the requirements for sexual offender registration and community notification. The Campus Sex Crimes Prevention Act of 2000 provides for the tracking of convicted sex offenders, already required to register in a State, to provide notice of each institution of higher education in the State at which that person is employed, carries on a vocation, or is a student. This registration is to be made available to law enforcement agencies with jurisdiction where the institutions of higher education are located. Institutions of higher education are required to issue a statement advising the campus community where law enforcement agency information provided by the State concerning registered sex offenders, may be obtained.
Persons seeking to obtain sex offender registration information may contact the Monroe County Sheriff's Office website (click on the Neighborhoods link and choose Obtaining Information About Sex Offenders in NYS).
You may obtain information on high level risk (level 3) registered sex offenders by visiting the New York Department of Criminal Justices' Sex Offender Registry. For more information, you can contact the NY DCJS Sex Offender Registry at (518) 457-6236.
Bias Related Crime
Bias related crime is a serious matter and bias related misconduct is a violation of St. John Fisher College policy. Both state and federal laws specially define hate crimes.
New York State's Hate Crimes Act of 2000 (Penal Law, Section 485) significantly increases the criminal penalties for most significant crimes, including criminal mischief, criminal trespass, harassment, stalking, assault, arson, robbery, burglary, stalking, rape, criminal sexual assault, and others, if the crime was also a "hate crime." A "hate crime" occurs where the victim was selected on the basis of race, color, national origin, ancestry, gender, religion, religious practice, old age, disability or sexual orientation.
Other New York laws define specific crimes with respect to bias. In particular, under the New York Civil Rights Law (Section 40-c) a person or entity that commits the crime of ordinary harassment is guilty of a class A misdemeanor (punishable by up to one year in jail), if the victim was harassed because of his or her race, creed, color, national origin, sex, marital status, sexual orientation or disability.
Campus Security Authorities
Summary: The Clery Act requires that in addition to campus law enforcement, staff designated as Campus Security Authorities (CSA) provide statistics for this report.
What is a CSA?
A CSA is a person referred to as a campus security authority by the Clery Act. CSA's are a vital part of data collection for the annual safety and security report.
The Clery Act requires St. John Fisher College to provide an annual safety and security report. In addition to input from law enforcement, certain staff positions are designated as Campus Security Authorities (CSA) for the purpose of providing information for this report. CSAs are usually found in departments responsible for, but not limited to, student and campus activities, safety/security, discipline, housing, athletics, human resources or judicial proceedings. This designation also includes any individual who has been specified by St. John Fisher College to receive and report offenses.
CSA's are responsible for reporting the number of crimes and incidents as described in the Clery Act that occur in their department to the St. John Fisher College Safety and Security Department. These numbers are then included in the federally mandated Clery Report, which is distributed every year in the beginning of October.
The following answers are based on The Handbook for Campus Crime Reporting, U.S. Department of Education, Office of Postsecondary Education.
What makes me a CSA?
- Individuals who have responsibility for campus security
- Any individual specified by the university as an individual to which students should report criminal offenses
- An official of the university who has significant responsibility for student and campus activities, including but not limited to, student housing, student discipline, and campus judicial proceedings
Campus Security Authorities include:
- Professional staff in the office of the Vice President of Student Affairs
- Professional staff in the Offices of Residential Life and Student Conduct, the Office of Campus Life, and the Office of Multicultural Affairs and Diversity Programs
- Faculty or staff advisors to student organizations; faculty or staff who serve as chaperones on college-related activities off-campus
- Resident Assistants and Peer Advisors
- Students who monitor access to facilities, such as the Athletic Center or Lavery Library
- Administrative staff of the Athletic Department, coaches, and assistant coaches
- Security Officers
- Event Security Staff
- Administrators at branch/satellite/separate campuses
Examples of individuals who would NOT meet the criteria for being Campus Security Authorities include:
- A faculty member who does not have responsibility for student and campus activity beyond the classroom
- Clerical or dining hall staff
- Facilities or maintenance staff
What do I have to do?
Report criminal incidents that occur on campus or at a St. John Fisher College sponsored event.
What crimes do I need to report?
- Homicide
- Aggravated Assault
- Sexual Assault
- Robbery
- Burglary
- Motor Vehicle Theft (stolen vehicles)
- Arson
- Weapon Violations
- Alcohol Violation (e.g. Minor in possession)
- Drug Violations
- Hate Crimes
In addition to the crimes above, the crime must occur at one of the following locations:
- On campus, including residence halls
- Off campus at College sponsored events
- Public property streets (streets adjacent to the campus)
Why is this necessary?
- Keeping accurate crime statistics will help St. John Fisher College know where to provide prevention programs and safety awareness programs to help keep the campus safe.
- The intent of including non-law enforcement personnel as CSAs is to acknowledge that many individuals, and students in particular, are hesitant about reporting crimes to the police, but may be more inclined to report incidents to the campus affiliated individuals.
- St. John Fisher College must comply with all aspects of the Clery Law.
How do I report incidents to the security department?
You can either report incidents individually as they are reported to you or all at once. You can use the Safety and Security Department's Campus Security Authority Crime Report form [doc] or you can report it in whatever manner is easiest for you.
What happens after the police department receives an incident from a CSA?
The crime analyst collects all incidents received from CSAs. The incidents are reviewed for duplication and to verify that each incident is Clery reportable. The incidents are then classified into their proper crime and geographical categories and added to the annual Clery statistics.
What if I am unsure if an incident is a crime? Or if it should be reported under Clery?
Please report it with as much detail as possible about the incident. Do not include names of the victim or suspect. The crime analyst will determine if it is a Clery reportable crime.
If the Safety and Security Department isn't going to investigate these crimes, what is the purpose of reporting incidents to the police department?
Many crimes do not get reported to the police. By collecting data from other sources, we are getting a more accurate number of crimes on campus. This is a resource for the campus community to use to make informed decisions about their safety.
Are there exemptions to CSA reporting incidents?
Yes, certain individuals who have significant responsibility for student and campus activities are exempt from disclosing information:
- Pastoral counselor. A person who is associated with a religious order or denomination, is recognized by that religious order as someone who provides confidential counseling, and is functioning within the scope of that recognition as a pastoral counselor.
- Professional counselor. A person whose official responsibility includes providing mental health counseling to members of the institutions community and who is functioning within the scope of his or her license or certification. This definition applies even to professional counselors who are not employees of the institution but are under contract to provide counseling at the institution.
However, we strongly encourage everyone to report since it is for statistical purposes only.
What happens if I do not report criminal incidents to the St. John Fisher College Safety and Security Department?
The United States Department of Education is charged with enforcing the Jeanne Clery Act and may level civil penalties against the College.

Add To Plan
One of the most awe-inspiring roadways in the French Riviera, the Grand Corniche stretches along the coastline affording unparalleled views.
As you drive along this legendary thoroughfare, you'll pass by Vista Palace, stopping for a photo if time permits, and then continue through the village of La Turbie, which overlooks Monaco at an altitude of nearly 1,600 feet. Once on the Middle Corniche, you'll have an expansive view of the northern mountains, where Eze Village perches near the top. An excellent vantage point for taking pictures is a square at the foot of the mountains, where you'll stop for approximately a half hour. Back on the road, a litany of classic French villages comes into view, including Beaulieu, Cap Ferrat, Villefranche, Nice, and Cap d'Antibes. The scenery seems almost impossibly beautiful as you ease onto the Lower Corniche, take in even more picturesque villages, and return to Monte Carlo, perhaps the ultimate gem on this necklace of French jewels.
Please note: The Casino opens at 2:00 p.m. Must be 18 years or older to enter. A passport is required to enter the Casino gaming rooms.

We would like to advise that cabin 9005, a concierge-level cabin, was extremely noisy at night with so many thumps, bumps, crashes and jolts that we finally had to move to another cabin on a lower floor. The seas were not exceptionally rough and certainly we have been in a variety of weather in our nearly 20 cruises, but we suspect that since cabins are put into a ship, during construction, as a whole unit, there must be something structurally lacking in 9005. We had never experienced anything like it and sleep was out of the question.
We made our concerns known after the first night and happened to hear someone from another deck, voicing the same complaint to the registration desk -- the noises and jolts were enough to bring one up out of bed! We were all met with limited concern and the advice that if it happened again, we should call the desk right then and there. Not particulary reassuring. The second night we experienced an identical problem, called the registration desk at midnight, were met with casual concern but persisted, and were finally successful in getting moved on the third day. Our new stateroom did not have any of those sound and movement issues.
Despite the luxury of the ship and its many good points, the rooms are not that well constructed, with chips in the "wood" of the closets and cupboards already (our cruise was in the second month of Marina's existence), bathroom tiles that let water seep through the grout of the floors and walls (noticed that in both staterooms and our room steward said it was a problem ship-wide), and flimsy walls that do nothing to keep the next room's conversations inside that room -- especially if you happen to be in a stateroom that could be an adjoining room. The closets rattled, the showers have been discussed enough already, and the balcony doors did not always open easily or close completely, despite a lot of effort.
We especially wanted to warn people away from choosing cabin 9005. We enjoyed the rest of our cruise, but the construction issues are probably enough for us to avoid taking another chance on Marina.

Biotech Stock Mailbag: GTx, Vanda, Pharmacyclics
BOSTON (TheStreet) -- This week's Biotech Stock Mailbag opens with an analyst comment regarding GTx (GTXI).
Wedbush analyst David Nierengarten came to the defense of GTx on Thursday following my story Wednesday explaining why the almost-completed phase III studies of the company's muscle-wasting drug enobosarm are likely to fail.
Nierengarten disagrees with my analysis and is telling clients to buy GTx because he believes the enobosarm phase III studies will succeed. I didn't find any of his rebuttals of the GTx bear thesis to be very persuasive, but one point he made does call out for a follow-up discussion.
In his GTx research note, Nierengarten says:"The opinion piece [that's mine] emphasizes mean and median measures of the Phase II study, claiming the populations overlap and therefore there is no treatment effect, and this will be demonstrated in the Phase III. This comment ignores the design of the Phase III studies, which use a responder analysis." [Emphasis his.] Ah, the responder analysis, otherwise known as one of the tricks companies use to rig the analysis of a clinical trial to produce the appearance of positive results (especially when real positive results are nonexistent.) Thanks to Nierengarten, we now know the GTx game plan for how results from the enobosarm phase III trial results will be announced. You should wary of any responder analysis. I'll explain, but first a recap of GTx's phase III trial. The design of GTX's two phase III cancer cachexia studies is fairly simple. Patients undergoing first-line chemotherapy treatment for non-small cell lung cancer with an accompanying diagnosis of cachexia are randomized to receive a daily, 3 mg dose of enobosarm or a placebo. After three months, the patients are assessed on two co-primary endpoints: 1) change in lean body mass (measured using an x-ray scan); and 2) physical function, defined as a 10% or greater improvement in the stair climb power test. Enobosarm has to meet both co-primary endpoints with statistical significance for the studies to be successful. Here's how the responder analysis kicks in. Each patient in the trial is assessed by the two co-primary endpoints. If both criteria are met -- no loss of lean body mass and a 10% or greater improvement in stair climb power -- the patient is considered a responder.

McCarthy to open against Rays
Tampa Bay (2-3) at Texas (2-4), 7:05 p.m. CT
Brandon McCarthy has pitched twice before at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington.The first one didn't go so well, as he allowed six runs (including four homers) in five innings. The second was much better: 7 2/3 innings of scoreless baseball on just two hits. Both starts were two seasons ago when he was pitching for the Chicago White Sox against the Rangers. Now he pitches for the Rangers and makes his first home start at The Ballpark when he faces the Tampa Bay Devil Rays on Monday night. The Ballpark has been known as a hitter's park, especially when it comes to balls flying into the seats. Combine that with the fact that McCarthy has allowed 30 home runs in 157 2/3 innings in the Major Leagues, and there is reason to wonder how he'll fare in his new home. "I don't view it any differently than any other place," McCarthy said. "It's a ballpark. It has a penchant for giving up home runs, but that's on the pitcher as much as the park. You just have to keep the ball down. Over the course of your career, you might give up some cheap ones, but if you keep the ball down, throw strikes and get ahead of hitters, it's going to come out in your favor." The one difference between McCarthy in his time in Chicago is that he is now a full-time starter, rather than jumping back and forth between the rotation and the bullpen. He made his first start for the Rangers on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Angels and allowed five runs (three earned) in six innings. He allowed four in the first but held the Angels to one run over the next five innings. "I'm just excited to get to pitch again in a place where five days can't come soon enough," manager Ron Washington said. "You want to pitch well in front of the home fans, but it's just exciting to get back out there." Pitching matchup
TEX: RHP Brandon McCarthy (0-1, 4.50 ERA)
McCarthy is 1-1 with a 3.68 ERA in two career games at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington. He is 0-2 with an 11.25 ERA in his career against the Devil Rays. The Rays and the Rangers are the only two teams that have beaten McCarthy twice in his short career. But much of the damage was done by Rays players who are no longer there. The current roster has a total of 16 at-bats against McCarthy. Carl Crawford has five at-bats against him, the most for anybody, but he is hitless. TB: RHP Edwin Jackson (0-0, -.--)
Jackson will make his first start of the season after claiming the No. 5 spot in a six-pitcher competition conducted during Spring Training. The right-hander has a big fastball but has lacked command and confidence in the past. The Rays are banking that a stint in Venezuela benefited him enough to get him over the hump so he can realize his potential. Jackson made one start against the Rangers in 2006 and allowed five earned runs in seven innings. Player to watch
Mark Teixeira is hitting .308 with eight home runs, 26 RBIs and a .600 slugging percentage in 35 games and 130 at-bats off of Devil Rays pitching. On the Internet

Chattanooga, TN
Choo-Choo City
Lovers' Leap, copyright
SeeRockCity, Inc.
If you've ever driven around the South, you've probably seen one of the 900 or so aging barns plastered with six-foot-high letters urging you to "SEE ROCK CITY." Chances are, you chalked it up to another roadside ad campaign (a la South of the Border, Stuckey's, or Mail Pouch Tobacco) and kept driving.
If so, you missed a visit to one of the South's most popular family fun spots. Rock City is a quirky mountaintop park peeking through the clouds above Chattanooga, the metropolis that gave us the Chattanooga Choo-Choo, Moon Pies, Miniature Golf, and the great Bessie Smith.
Nestled in a bend of the Tennessee River, this historic city was also the site of the Civil War's decisive "Battle Above the Clouds," on towering Lookout Mountain. Now, it's a bustling tourist attraction, with scenic views, lush parks, bridges, window-shopping, museums, and the world's largest fresh-water aquarium.

This is the story of Andre, a little brown dog who suffered terrible abuse to become an Internet sensation.
Andre's story starts on Jan. 3, 2012, near 102nd Avenue and Durango in the far southwest Valley. Phoenix Police Sgt. Darren Burch said a man walking in the area witnessed a car drive up to an empty field. The driver got out, dumped a white garbage bag in the middle of the field then drove off.
"The witness opened the bag and found a dog inside, still alive," said Burch.
The little pup's eyes were badly injured by what appeared to be shotgun pellets. The Good Samaritan tried to nurse the pup back to health, but ended up giving it to Maricopa County Animal Care and Control. After a surgery to remove the puppy's eyes, he was put into a foster home.
"The foster mom called herself a seeing-eye human for the dog," said Burch.
She named him Andre after Andrea Bocelli, the blind tenor, and started a Facebook fan page. Andre developed a fan-following in the thousands. One fan even made him little dark doggie glasses to wear.
Sadly, several months later, Andre developed health problems and passed away, but the search for his abuser hasn't stopped.
Thanks to the Facebook fans, there's a $3,000 Silent Witness reward.

The Connection between Arts and Academics
"Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences gained credibility in the 1980s, but Steiner's Waldorf curriculum had already put the gist of that theory into practice by 1920! Students learn in different ways. It's not rocket science and yet, most common educational methods ignore this basic premise. What Steiner knew was that DOING was the key to learning..."

Personalities in the Classroom, Part II: Working with the Rabbit's and Pooh's
Remember Winnie the Pooh and Rabbit? As promised, we are wrapping up our in-depth look at the temperaments with discussion of the choleric and the phlegmatic.·Using Betty Staley's chapters on the temperaments in Between Form and Freedom: A Practical Guide to the Teenage Years (easy to find online and through Hawthorn Press), we will gain insights into recognizing and raising the phlegmatic child and the choleric child...
End-of-theYear Letter to Parents -- From Lynda Powell, 2010-11 5th/6th Grade Teacher
As in infancy, when organs and hormones are developing, our students have so much growth occurring every year and often every month it seems, as their toes poke through the sandals they loved so much just a short time ago (or so it seems to those of us who buy the shoes). Arms and legs are so sturdy and coordinated during their 5th grade year and into their 6th grade year. I believe it is a tribute to our curriculum and especially our spacial dynamicsTM program (that is, Ms. Cripps!) that AWS adolescents I observe successfully cope with their changing bodies and turn into human beings with grace, poise and beauty...

Personalities in the Classroom: Teaching the Eeyore's, Tigger's, Rabbit's, and Pooh's
A parent reminded me that I had not yet re-addressed the temperaments from the January 2011 Awareness, so let's begin with how to recognize them. Often, the archetypal characters in "Winnie the Pooh" are used as models. Pooh is phlegmatic with his calm demeanor and overall preoccupation with eating, comfort, and rest. Eeyor and Piglet represent the melancholic temperament with their "Everything is going wrong…again," and "The sky is falling!" attitudes. Tigger is of the sanguine temperament--optimistic, fun, happy-go-lucky, and chatty! Rabbit is the choleric with his passionate leadership qualities, his fiery personality, and his proclivity toward anger.

One teacher for eight years?! A Response to Concerns about Looping
A Nursery parent kindly commented the other day, "I really love the Waldorf philosophy and can see how it makes sense for my preschool child, but I'm worried about Waldorf elementary school because of the way the teachers loop through the grades...what if my child doesn't like his teacher and is stuck with him for 8 long years?" As a former Kindergarten through 8th grade looping teacher, myself, I have much to say on the subject!
AWS Alumni receive top honors!
Congratulations to Janine Mwenja and Alex Kilpatrick on their recent honors! Both Jeanine and Alex were voted into the National Honor Society, and the Spanish National Honor Society. As part of their 11th grade curriculum at the Jefferson Cty Int'l Baccaleureate School, students take advantage of work-study opportunities. Janine has been contributing her talents and skills to the architectural projects at Giattina-Aycock.

Movement Education
Last weekend at the Jaimen McMillan Workshops, I learned a lot more about WHY our approach to physical education is different. So it's in this month's Admin Adlib that I'd like to share some of what Jaimen brought during this incredibly insightful and useful conference on Movement Education
The annual Waldorf Pentathlon is an honored rite of passage for Waldorf 5th graders. As with all Waldorf curriculum, the pentathlon teaches to the developmental stage, celebrating the student's "golden year," the time when they are searching for form and meaning in how things work–the mechanics–and finding it in the formula of learning and applying these pentathlon events. They are taught the exact sequence of movements to, for example, throw a javelin and when the javelin flies as expected, the student sees her formula realized.

Exercise Science Major Guide for 2008-2009
What is Exercise Science
Exercise Science is the study of human movement and the associated responses and adaptations. In this context, an exercise scientist must understand the scientific basis underlying exercise-induced biomechanical and physiological responses. Although exercise science professionals often work in sports medicine facilities, the field of exercise science is quite broad. Depending upon one's area of interest, an exercise science major might study: (1) how to develop and lead exercise programs for diverse populations; (2) how organ systems work at the cellular level; or (3) how to improve biomechanical efficiency in tasks of everyday living. The undergraduate B.S. degree in Exercise Science is a 120–122 semester-hour science-based program with emphasis on the study of exercise and human movement. The exercise science program promotes and integrates scientific research, education, and practical applications of exercise science to maintain and enhance health, fitness, performance, and quality of life. Coursework in exercise science prepares you for the job market or for further schooling in exercise science and/or health related fields such as physical therapy, medicine, and occupational therapy.
Career Opportunities in Exercise Science
This list is not all-inclusive but does identify some of the common fields of study, career and job opportunities, and minimal education requirements:
- Athletic trainer. Employers include schools, teams, clinics, and hospitals. (Undergraduate degree, master's degree from an accredited National Athletic Trainers' Association program)
- Biomechanist. Employers include product developers/users in research and clinical settings; future growth is expected in industrial settings. (Master's or doctoral degree)
- Cardiopulmonary rehabilitation specialist. Employers include hospitals and clinics. (Undergraduate degree, often master's degree, recognized certification)
- Exercise physiologist. Employers include commercial and clinical workplace settings. (Undergraduate degree minimum)
- Group exercise instructor. Employers include commercial and workplace fitness centers. (Some college courses, recognized certification)
- Personal trainer/strength and conditioning coach. Personal trainers might be self-employed or work for a fitness facility. Strength and conditioning coaches are employed by universities and professional athletic teams. (Undergraduate degree minimum, recognized certification)
- Physical therapist or Occupational therapist. Employers include hospitals and clinics. (Most physical therapy programs require 3–4 years of physical therapy school after an
Undergraduate degree)
- Physician/physician's assistant. Employers include hospitals and clinics. (Undergraduate degree, 3–5 years of training, plus specialization training)
- Pharmaceutical/medical sales. Employers include pharmaceutical and other medical development companies. (Undergraduate degree minimum)
Salary Trends in Exercise Science
With an undergraduate degree and no experience, a starting salary of $18,000 to $30,000 per year is a good estimate. Factors such as experience, geographic location, employment setting, and market demand all affect salary estimations. If you obtain certification and one or more advanced degrees (e.g., master's, Ph.D.), you can obviously expect a greater salary. The same would be true if you had further professional training such as physical therapy or medical school. One of the best ways to gauge what salary you can expect is to speak with professionals who currently work in your field of interest. Because geographical location can have a large impact on salary, it is important that you speak with those who work where you would like to live.
High School Preparation
One of the best ways to learn about potential careers is to talk with people who have jobs that interest you. Often interested students can visit workplaces and see what people do while performing their jobs. Talk with your high school guidance counselor about setting up "job shadowing" experiences. You should also take the opportunity to get involved in activities that might relate to the exercise science major, such as performing volunteer work in hospital, clinic, and/or athletic training settings in your community or at your school. In regard to classes, you should take science and math, especially trigonometry, calculus, biology, chemistry, physics, anatomy, and physiology. It is also important to begin exercising on a routine basis. Exercising regularly, whether as a part of organized athletics or on your own, is important in establishing your commitment to lifelong physical activity. Regardless of what exercise science career you pursue, a common theme is the importance of regular exercise for good health.
How to Major in Exercise Science
During your first one to two years, you should contact the College of Education, Health and Human Sciences Office of Student Services (865-974-8194) for advising. You should also enroll in ES 100 (Orientation to Exercise Science). Other than ES 100, the courses that you take in your first two years will be general education requirements and requirements for admission into the exercise science major, such as Chemistry 120-130, Math 125, and Physics 221-222. Students must apply to be admitted to the exercise science major. Application for admission consideration may be completed after the successful completion of 45 semester-hours and completion of ES 100, Chemistry 120, and Physics 221. A minimum GPA of 2.5 is required to apply for admission to the program. You must be admitted into the program before the completion of 75 hours and subsequently, satisfactory progress in classes must be demonstrated. A minimum GPA of 2.5 must be maintained to remain in the major.
Requirements for Exercise Science
The admissions criteria summarized above are the minimum requirements.
Special Programs, Co-ops, and Internships
Exercise science students should take advantage of practicum and internship opportunities while enrolled at UT. These courses are highly recommended for all ES majors. In practicum and internship courses, students work under the supervision of professionals in one of the fields of exercise science (e.g., physical therapy, athletic training). The primary goal of these classes is to gain practical, hands-on experience while in school. These experiences can prove invaluable in making career decisions and developing professional contacts. All exercise science majors must take the introductory practicum class and may take advantage of other opportunities. Practicum opportunities range from a one credit introductory course (ES 260) to a more in-depth opportunity (ES 426) and even to a full-time internship (ES 490).
Highlights of Exercise Science
Exercise science majors are exposed to a range of available activities. Students interested in research can work with the faculty on projects and gain professional elective credits (ES 493). ES faculty members are active researchers and encourage undergraduate students to become involved in research. The honors research project (ES 497) is available to those wanting to conduct an individual research project. Research experiences can prove valuable when applying to medical or graduate schools. Students interested in gaining hands-on experience have the opportunity to complete practicum courses (ES 260 and 426) while taking other classes. A full-time internship (ES 490) is available to those students who desire a culminating learning experience after their classroom work is completed.
Ready for the World
As the world is becoming more inter-connected through technology, it is important that students learn about other cultures and interact with people with diverse backgrounds. At UTK, students have a variety of opportunities to engage in these activities. For example, exercise science majors have the option to "study abroad" and take some of their required courses in other countries. Please see an academic advisor in the Office of Student Services for more information about READY FOR THE WORLD opportunities.
Learn more about UT's Ready for the World initiative to help students gain the international and intercultural knowledge they need to succeed in today's world.

Just a brief update, in case anyone's checking... I've been completely consumed with my latest "project." ;-) My husband and I welcomed our daughter to the world in early December, and we've been transfixed with her since. Not much time for cooking, though plenty of family members have been helping out, whipping up quinoa or wheat berries & veggies, vegan kale soup, black bean soup, and other veggie-ful meals for us.
Hope to get back to cooking in a bit, but for now, all my attention is blissfully on our new little one. It's a truly amazing time and I am so in love with her!

Baby Shower Bites
Last weekend my mom and my good friend Paula threw me a baby shower. This was just ONE of the food tables! The cake with the giant cupcake on top of it in the pic above my mom ordered from a bakery, but despite the fact they were both skeptical that I'd want to make anything, I insisted on making vegan cupcakes, of course. And, in what's becoming my go-to wower for parties, I whipped up some of SMBP's black & white truffles.

NYC 2: Cafe Blossom
|Top right: Delicious black-eyed pea cakes; Bottom right: Mushroom Phyllo Pastry
We were recently back East for a wedding, and had one night in NYC. This pass-through was even less time than my last trip to the Big Apple, but still enough time for a (vegan!) dinner night out with friends and a run in Central Park! Two of my must-dos when vising the city now.
After my other trip, I was hoping to go to Candle 79 again, since it was one of my best dining experiences EVER. Seriously, out of this world, whether you are vegan or not. But, I was coming in off an evening flight, and my husband reminded me I'd probably be pretty tired since I'm now entering my 3rd trimester (!)- he was right. Plus, I did want to try out somewhere new- NYC is just such an amazing food mecca. So, we picked somewhere more convenient to where we were staying - Cafe Blossom on Carmine in the West Village. I had been to the Cafe Blossom on the Upper West side my last trip, but each of the Blossom locations has a different menu and vibe, so it was still a completely different experience, which I was excited to try out! Read on for my take on Blossom...

Banana-Strawberry Waffles
I don't know what it is about Sundays, but I almost always wake up wanting pancakes or waffles. ESPECIALLY now that I'm pregnant, if I get something in my mind that I want to eat, I just gotta have it. Today, it was waffles. Thick, fluffy, Belgian waffles, with fresh banana and strawberry. Numnumnum. ;-)
This recipe is simple and easy to throw together on a lazy weekend morning.

Electronic Theatre Controls, Inc. (ETC) has begun to fill orders for its Congo jr lighting control console, which was introduced to the world at the PLASA and LDI 2006 tradeshows. Now beginning to ship worldwide, Congo jr is the compact version of the larger Congo console, boasting all of the processing power of its bigger brother. With its full-featured Congo functionality (identical channel and output counts as well the same potent operating software) Congo jr handles lighting rigs filled with conventional lights, moving lights, LEDs, media servers, and other DMX-controlled multiparameter devices. Congo jr also features the convenient modularity of an optional Master Playback Wing, which accesses all 40 multipurpose masters of the main console for full playback functionality.
Congo jr is part of the new generation of ETC powerhouse consoles that master the reality of multimedia lighting production with what ETC is calling "Complete Control™" Like the Congo, which was introduced in 2005, Congo jr is being specified wherever ambitious production work needs to be done. The difference, however, lies in its smaller footprint. Congo jr is ideal for space-compromised venues such as touring applications, TV studios, blackbox theaters, worship-production, and event lighting. A fully independent main console when portability is paramount, Congo jr is also equally adept as a convenient back-up desk to the main console in a more complex system.
Coinciding with the release of Congo jr is ETC's introduction of Congo software version 4.2.1, which serves as a patch, primarily supporting the new Congo jr hardware. However, since Congo and Congo jr use the same software, Congo owners will find benefits here as well, including fixes for issues found in v4.2.0. The complete list of what has been implemented in v4.2.1 is available in the console Release Notes, for download from ETC website (Products > Controls > Congo > Downloads). ETC recommends Congo owners also update their systems, downloading and installing this patch version from the ETC Web site, following the same path above.Since market response has been high, ETC recommends that customers place their orders for Congo jr soon, to beat the increasing rush in 2007.

Editorial: State ballot recommendations
Original post made on Oct 19, 2012
[Web Link ELECTION 2012: Stories, editorials, videos and resources]
Read the full story here Web Link posted Friday, October 19, 2012, 9:02 AM

I'm with the editors on 31, 33-37, and 40, but the three most important measures, they have unfortunately advocated for continued fiscal mismanagement at the State level.
The state continues to flagrantly waste taxpayer money, largely because our state legislators are bought and paid for by public unions. They continue to offer out of market compensation, benefits, and pensions, while caving to union demands for near-zero accountability (it's near impossible to fire a bad teacher even if they show up to work drunk or high, and even blatant felons such as child molesters continue to draw state pensions from the taxpayers).
The two ways to fix this mess are to take a firm stance against bailing the state out with new tax revenue: therefore No on 30, 38, and 39.
The second, more important fix is to vote yes on 32 and put a serious check on the root cause of our perpetual mess: public union power as a special interest group. The unions are throwing over $50M to defeat this one. If I had only one vote, it would be yes on 32.
on Oct 19, 2012 at 10:41 am
Ern wants to turn the state over to be run by corporate interests.
Because they have the families of California interest's in their hearts.
No on 32. It's about basic fairness.
SJ Merc calls it a deceptive sham.
"It is a deceptive sham that would magnify the influence of wealthy interests while shutting out many middle-class voters. Vote no on Proposition 32. "
on Oct 19, 2012 at 10:43 am
I agree completely with Ernesto.
We're in a very deep fiscal sinkhole, which is accelerating downward.
Consider the numbers for Palo Alto city workers (from Palo Alto Online on Wednesday):
Pensions: $6.9 million in 2004
$25.9 million in 2012 (now)
$35.9 million in 2017 (projected)
This is an increase of more than 500 percent in 13 years !!!
Medical: $10 million in 2002
$15.4 million in 2006
$27.3 million in 2012 (now)
As a result, here are the city's benefit expenditures as a fraction of salaries:
23% in 2002
63% in 2012 (now) !!!
100% in 2022 (projected)
This is a disaster. When you're in a hole, the top priority is to stop digging. Yes on 32; No on 30, 38, 39.

Tim Tebow knows that not all college football fans will welcome him when he arrives in Miami to tout his new memoir.
"It's definitely enemy territory," jokes the former University of Florida quarterback and current Denver Broncos player, who will appear Monday at Books & Books in Coral Gables. "But there are a lot of Gators down south who are very supportive."
At 23, Tebow is an awfully young memoirist, but he believes he has plenty to tell. In Through My Eyes (HarperCollins, $26.99) he writes about football (first sophomore to win the Heisman Trophy, he won two national championships and once ran for a touchdown with a broken leg in high school); growing up with his missionary parents and his Christian faith. Too good to be true? Just wait. He also founded the Tim Tebow Foundation and supports an orphanage in the Philippines. He wore Bible verses in his eye black (causing the NCAA to ban the practice). Even his underwear ads for Jockey are clean-cut.
We talked to Tebow about all this stuff.
How has the tour affected your routine?
It's a little different than most people think. They think you're busy all day. But really you have a book signing for two hours. I still train all day and work out.
So many other people have written stuff about me, and all those stories aren't accurate. I wanted to set the record straight. But the main reason was somehow to encourage and inspire or put a smile on someone's face, whether that's a kid trying to follow his dream or an adult who needs a role model for his kid. To have an impact on people's lives in a good way.
Why is being a role model so important?
It's the most important thing to me, period. If I just play football and just try to win games and championships, if that's all I do, then at the end of my life it's not going to mean very much. It's just a game. … I love it, but if you take the platform, and you can influence someone's life and inspire them to go after their dream, then what you're doing is worth it. You're having a life of success and meaning.
What was it like returning to Gainesville for a signing?
It was pretty crazy, very rowdy. A lot of people showed up; they were sleeping on floors and in shopping carts. I signed the whole time, and when the time was up they told me, 'There are another 600 people waiting,' and I was like, 'Well, we're gonna be here awhile then.' But it was cool.
How do you deal with people who say you're too good to be true?
I learned going into my sophomore year at Florida you can't worry about what you can't control. I'm a people pleaser, and I like people supporting me, but at the same time there are always going to be naysayers who say you're fake or not real. … I honestly can't worry about it. … I know who I'm affecting. I have to keep those kids in mind and keep my goals and dreams in mind. The only reason people are naysayers is they've had setbacks, and they want to pull other people down. I'm staying positive and listening to the support staff around me, my family and friends.
Any predictions for the Gators this year, now that coach Urban Meyer is gone?
I really like coach [Will] Muschamp. He'll do a good job. I think we will have one of the top five defenses in the country.
Tim Tebow appears from 7-9 p.m. at Books & Books, 265 Aragon Ave., Coral Gables. Book-voucher purchase required; 305-442-4408 or www.booksandbooks.com.

Update: July 30, 2013
Update: June 12, 2013
Greenville Sheriff's Office has arrested a woman for failure to report child neglect. During an investigation of a child's death on March 13, 2013 at a home at 27 Laurinda Lane in Landrum, deputies learned that the child had been enrolled at Lee Road Child Enrichment Center. Margaret Rose was the director of the center. Investigators discovered that Rose was informed of possible child neglect issues involving cockroaches and insect bites and Rose did not report the issues to law enforcement as required by law.
The sheriff's office says Rose was released on June 6, 2013, from the Greenville County Detention Center on a $10,000 bond.
The mother of the child, Margie Shaver remains in the Greenville County Detention Center. Bond has not been set by a judge.
Posted: April 18, 2013
A Landrum woman is charged with homicide by child neglect after her two-year old son died when a chest of drawers fell on top of him in their home.
Margie Elizabeth Shaver, 27, turned herself in at the Greenville County Law Enforcement Center Thursday morning after the death of her son and injuries to his four-year old sister on March 12.
Deputies were called to her home on Laurinda Lane late that night and found the young boy underneath a chest of drawers along with his injured sister. He was pronounced dead at Greenville Memorial Hospital.
The Greenville County Sheriff's Office investigation claims Shaver locked the children in a bedroom and didn't supervise them.
Deputies say the chest of drawers fell on the children, but Shaver ignored the loud noise in the bedroom. Her son died from what deputies say was preventable asphyxia. Her daughter was treated for her injuries and removed from the home and placed in the care of the Department of Social Services.
Shaver and her husband Christopher Jerome Shaver, 30 were also charged with one count each of unlawful neglect of a child due to the condition of the home.
GCSO investigators found the filth and infestation of the home placed the children at unreasonable risk of harm according to arrest warrants.
Mr. Shaver was not home at the time of the incident which resulted in the death of his son.
Margie and Christopher Shaver are being held at the Greenville County Detention Center.

SYDNEY (AP) -- A tsunami alert has been issued after a strong earthquake in the South Pacific. The U.S. Geological Survey says the 8.0-magnitude quake struck Wednesday 81 kilometers (50 miles) west of Lata, in the Solomon Islands, at a depth of 5.8 kilometers (3.6 miles.)
The centre did not say how big the tsunami was, but it gave arrival times from a few minutes to several hours to island nations around the South Pacific.
"When no major waves are observed for two hours after the estimated time of arrival or damaging waves have not occurred for at least two hours then local authorities can assume the threat is passed," the Hawaii-based centre said.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center says the tsunami warning is in effect for the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Nauru, Papua New Guinea, Tuvalu, New Caledonia, Kosrae, Fiji, Kiribati, Wallis and Futuna.

2013 US Pro Challenge - Stages 4 & 5
|Stage 4: Steamboat Springs to Beaver Creek – Thursday, Aug. 22
Stage 4 is the Queen Stage of the 2013 USA Pro Challenge. It features some previously used terrain, but with some added spice. One thing is for sure, the road to the final podium in Denver goes straight over Bachelor Gulch. A new start in Steamboat will send the race off onto new country roads around Routt County. This roller coaster of small hills gives way to a gentle route south until the racers have to climb up from the river bottom at State Bridge. That's just the beginning, as the new approach to Beaver Creek will now send the racers up the new climb of Bachelors Gulch. It may not be the longest or most well-known climb, but it is quite possibly the toughest. The relentless grade with pitches up to 18 percent will do real damage and create the sort of epic racing for which the Pro Challenge is known. After Bachelor Gulch, the leaders still have to race down a technical descent and power up the final 2 km climb to Beaver Creek Village. By that time the winner may not even have the strength left for a victory salute.
Stage 5: Vail Individual Time Trial – Friday, Aug. 23
The last time the USA Pro Challenge visited Vail, the Time Trial was decided by 58 hundredths of a second. Competition will be equally fierce this time around, but the names may change a bit. The course's roots are in Colorado racing lore and trace back to the Coors Classic. Starting in Vail and climbing most of the way up Vail Pass, the route is no easy proposition, even for the best racers on earth. The gentle grades of the first half of the course give way to a steady climb for the last three miles. But it takes more than legs on this strategic course; go too hard early and the climb may kill your chances, but conserve too much for the climb and the leaderboard may be out of reach.
