The idea that language evolved from manual gestures rather than primate calls dates back at least to the 18th century, and was revived in modern form by the anthropologist, Gordon W. Hewes, in 1973. The main sources of current evidence are: (1) Signed languages invented by deaf communities share with speech the essential characteristics of language, including such properties as reference, generativity, grammar, and prosody; (2) Great apes in captivity are much better able to learn intentional communication systems based on manual gestures than to acquire speech; (3) The manual gestures of chimpanzees in the wild are more flexible and context‐independent than their vocalizations; (4) The mirror system in the primate brain provides a natural platform for the evolution of language; it represents manual gestures and some nonvocal oral movements, but not vocalizations. Vocal gestures were probably incorporated into the mirror system late in hominin evolution, perhaps only with the emergence of our own species, Homo sapiens. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

In the Spotlight
Dr. Stan Klein's research revolves around understanding self, memory, and consciousness. Klein argues that the unitary self of everyday experience actually is a multiplicity. For example, within memory, there are various, functionally independent systems of self-knowledge, including semantic personal facts, abstract trait self-knowledge, and episodic narratives. Another aspect of self is its subjectivity. This form of consciousness interacts with the neurally-based aspects of self to produce the human experience of self.
Dr. Klein believes that we need to move beyond studying memory content and focus on how that content is presented to awareness. He argues that it is the manner in which content is apprehended by awareness that determines whether we experience content as episodic or semantic.Learn More

How iPads Improve the Patient Experience
iPads Replacing Check-in Forms
An HR platform called Drchrono markets an iPad app called OnPatient, which allows hospitals to check patients in via iPad instead of paper forms and clipboards.
Healthcare providers can create a customized check-in form. Then when patients fill out the for the first time, they input their personal, demographic, and insurance information, take a profile photo, review their medications and allergies, and their records are saved for future use.
The app integrates with Drchrono's full suite of iPad EHR services aimed at helping caregivers modernize their record keeping processs.
"The OnPatient check-in app digitizes the waiting room and eliminates significant barriers to mass adoption of patient check-in technology by leveraging sophisticated iPad technology," Michael Nusimow, co-founder and CEO of Drchrono, told Mashable. "We designed the OnPatient app to be intuitive for both physicians and patient users to create a better patient check-in experience."
Verdict: This process is not ideal for all patients, especially the elderly and the technologically unfamiliar, but would be a hit with Gen-X and Gen-Y. It may be an asset for hospitals reaching out to younger demographics.
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.

Very innovative uses. How do you manage inventory control (ie keep patients, visitors and/or staff from making off with the I-pad or Android tablets)?
Lu Borges (4/20/2012 at 12:04 AM)
We've been using touch devices (iPods, iPads) for several years now in our pediatric hospital (Child Life Department) with amazing results. Our primary use is for supporting peds patients during invasive medical procedures and in prepping them for surgeries. I've posted alot of info on our page www.mschildlife.org, but would be glad to share info with anyone.

1) Regarding Jenkins comment I agree that only considering the Apple product may limit your ability to find the best solution for your organization. We are implementing the use of Android tablets in our 25 provider Orthopedic Clinic. Our 1st step was to test the Ipad and 3 versions of Android tablets. All the units except 1 had at least minor problems running our EMR application. The Ipad was the worst. Fortunately we found one that worked wonderfully. We also use a docking station with a keyboard, mouse and large monitor in every exam room. The MA or provider walks into the room, puts their tablet into the dock and 3 seconds later the image pops onto the monitor and the unit looks and feels like a PC. This is cheaper and more efficient than having a PC in every room. If it was a PC the caregiver would have to log in everytime they entered a room. Speed is critical to us so any time savings is huge. 2) Regarding HIPPA security. Our EMR is web based so as long as you use passwords, a stolen tablet or laptop should pose no risk of data exposure. There should be no patient data residing on the tablet. I'm always looking for improvement so please comment if you have any ideas. Thanks!

Interview: Zack Snyder Gets Serious About Animated OwlsFeatures By Jack Giroux on September 25, 2010 | Be the First To Comment
Zack Snyder has made a talking animal film. You've seen them before; some have resulted in catastrophic results and others failed at being cinematic and were stuck at simply being cartoons. Snyder knew the trickiness involved with making such a concept work, but he managed to do it. This is a serious adventure film. Yes, there are the owl jokes, but tonally it's surprisingly dark and similar to those 80′s kids movies (Labyrinth, Gremlins, etc.) that made you feel both excitement and fright. Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole is and isn't what you expect from a Snyder film. It isn't in a sense that it doesn't have many body parts flying off or glorious amounts of blood. Where it is similar is in most aspects: it's epic in scope, nearly every shot is a money shot, and the action has got Snyder's stamp all over it. I recently spoke with Snyder about the world of animated owls, Terminator references, and why Toy Story isn't for kids.

Record high food prices stoke fears for economy
SINGAPORE/LONDON (Reuters) - Record high food prices are moving to the top of policymaker agendas, driven by fears it could stoke inflation, protectionism and unrest and dent consumer demand in key emerging economies.
The United Nations' food agency (FAO) said on Wednesday that food prices hit a record high last month, above 2008 levels when riots broke out in countries as far afield as Egypt, Cameroon and Haiti.
In Asia, official data and analyst estimates both pointed to inflationary pressures. Chilli prices have increased fivefold in Thailand in the last year and Indonesia's president called for households to plant food in their own gardens.
President Susilo Yudhoyono Bambang told a cabinet meeting people should be "creative" in planting, with Trade Minister Mari Pangestu leading the way in planting at home.
"I have 200 chilli plants in flowerpots," Pangestu told a briefing on Thursday. "The agriculture ministry is informing farmers how to take care of the plant and also encouraging consumers to plant chilli in their own yards."
Surging food prices have often provoked unrest in urban areas of poor countries, where food makes up a high proportion of household purchases.
Analysts say African and Caribbean economies dependent on food exports could be particularly hard hit, helping stoke unrest and potentially pushing governments toward imposing export bans and expropriating foreign-owned farmland.
If Asian and other emerging consumers have to spend more of their income on food, other purchases will fall -- and that could be bad news for a global economy that has placed much of its hopes for recovery on consumption in developing economies.
World Bank President Robert Zoellick urged governments in a newspaper opinion column to avoid protectionist measures as food prices rose and called upon the Group of 20 leading economies to take steps to make sure the poor get adequate food supplies.
French President Nicolas Sarkozy has asked the World Bank to conduct urgent research on the impact of food prices ahead of G20 meetings later this year, a source familiar with the matter said.
Food price protests were seen a factor in the ousting of Indonesia's long-term autocrat Suharto in 1998, and anger over a farmland purchased by South Korean firm Daewoo at a time of rising prices was in part blamed for a 2009 coup in Madagascar.
India's food price inflation rose to a one-year high of more than 18 percent in the year to the end of December, data on Thursday showed. That, along with rising fuel prices, is the main reason analysts expect the central bank to raise rates this month.
The Indian government has used a range of measures for years to ensure stable food prices, but since last year has boosted the release of national stocks of grains and has pledged to continue duty-free imports of crude vegetable oils.
In China, several cities have implemented direct controls to limit food price increases and the central government has vowed to eliminate speculation in the country's commodities markets.
The cost of food rose 11.7 percent in the year to November, while non-food items were up just 1.9 percent. But, reflecting concerns that inflation is creeping beyond food to the wider economy, consumer goods prices and housing costs showed clear jumps.
Fu Bingtao, an economist with the Agricultural Bank of China in Beijing, said in a report the price of grains, the country's most important food, would rise in 2011 by 10 percent, adding to an 11.7 percent rise in 2010.
"Speculative trading and hoarding of specific agricultural products may continue," he said.
The FAO said sugar and meat were at their highest since its records began in 1990. Prices were at their highest since 2008 crisis levels for wheat, rice, corn and other cereals.
Benchmark prices solely in Asia for rice suggested a different picture.
The region's staple food now stands at $535 per tone -- less than half its 2008 levels of more than $1,000 a tone that prompted several governments at the time to impose curbs on exports to protect their domestic markets.
But most experts expect upwards price pressure to continue, particularly if countries slap on export bans and further squeeze supply, and short-term investors again buy into agricultural commodities as they did in 2008.
Last year, wheat futures prices rose 47 percent, buoyed by a series of weather events including drought in Russia and its Black Sea neighbors. U.S. corn rose more than 50 percent and U.S. soybeans jumped 34 percent.
Alongside bad weather in Australia, Europe, North America and Argentina, rising Asian demand is at the heart of the spike. China, for example, is expected to buy 60 percent of globally traded soybeans in 2011/12, double its purchase of four years ago.
Dry, hot weather has hit soy and corn crops in Argentina, a leading exporter, fueling a rally in U.S. grains futures in recent weeks on supply fears. After an uneasy start, climate conditions have improved in neighboring Brazil, the world's No. 2 soy provider.
Higher interest rates do little to ease pressure on food prices. Demand is inelastic because people have to eat, but current price pressures are largely supply-led, so tighter monetary policy would not directly help.
The danger, however, is that food inflation spreads to the wider economy.
"I think there's an urgent need to be more pre-emptive in tightening monetary policy to prevent some of these inflation pressures from erupting," Neumann said. Some central banks had taken some action but more needed to be done.
South Korea, like other Asian countries that run trade and current account surpluses, could give more room to its currency to rise to offset rising import costs on food.
But higher interest rates or the likelihood of a rising currency would just encourage a flood of portfolio capital from investors spurning sluggish growth in developed economies. And rising currency could hurt exports, the major pillar of many economies.

We have already seen the signs in our local supermarkets.
Water shortages all over the world are another issue to consider.

Are you paying attention?
Good luck, America.
Hmmm. Sound very much like the warnings issued by population researchers in the 1970s.
And it is all stampeding towards a critical mass from which there is no return until a global pandemic or some sort of sudden and shocking disaster culls our human numbers, unfortunately and probably including me and my family, to what they were at the end of the 15th Century.
This is not a doomsday scenario, but a very natural course of birth, death and rebirth pattern.
People here need to demand accountablility across the board and all the way to the very top – then the people of this country might deserve some good luck because the right thing has been done.
On a different note – people around the world need to stop having soooooo many children. There is not enough food, water etc., and we humans are destroying this earth. If you have more than two children (apart from adopting or foster care, etc), then you should be taxed to the hilt.

The Scarcity of Diary Entries
:: Posted by randomelement2 on August 20, 2014
"I guess the reason Roberts Diary has been stuck on the 16th of May (a remarkable date, by any standard) is that if he were to advance at a regular pace, we would know what KC were rehearsing (rehearsals started 3rd June) before they actually played this (new) material live (9th September). And I guess that, by now (or maybe later, who knows?), you know thats a no-no!" If I may be so bold as to speak for Robert (uh-oh), Im pretty sure he could write diary entries without giving away what theyre rehearsing if hed rather keep it a surprise. Id love to know why theyre so far behind though.
Maybe the lack of recent diary entries could be because he has a guitar in his hands most of the time these days? Sid

And I guess that, by now (or maybe later, who knows?), you know thats a no-no! So, we will have to live with a diary three light-months away, otherwise it could create a time paradox, the result of which could cause a chain reaction that would unravel the very fabric of the space-time continuum and destroy the entire universe!

Papillon Movie Review
The trouble lies in its placement in the evolution of the Hollywood action film. Papillon is a transitional species. At the same time it soars on old-fashioned virtue, it also suffers from modern vice. Its 150-minute running time, false endings, and mind-numbing repetitions make it an early predecessor of the indulgent blockbuster of today.
Working from Henri Charrière's book -- a supposedly true account -- director Franklin J. Schaffner begins the story in France, as a group of prisoners are marched onto an ocean liner that will take them to a brutal penal colony in a remote part of South America. Among the prisoners is Charrière (Steve McQueen), also known as "Papillon," an honorable thief who has been framed for the murder of a pimp.
On the boat, Papillon offers to protect a well-heeled prisoner, Louis Dega (Dustin Hoffman), from the rest of the criminal population. All Dega has to do to ensure his safe passage is underwrite Papillon's escape once they reach French Guyana. Papillon and Dega strike a deal -- as well as an unlikely friendship of opposites. Papillon is a man of action, a safecracker, a physical presence, while Dega is a cunning intellectual, a slight man with coke-bottle glasses.
McQueen and Hoffman are right at home in their roles. McQueen delivers his signature brand of sullen machismo, always leaping into the heart of conflict, with his face creased in a perpetual squint. Hoffman, meanwhile, plays Dega as a frail creature thrust into a violent world. He shambles around the prison colony trying to keep his nose clean and his glasses intact.
When Papillon is ordered to serve two years in solitary confinement after an escape attempt, Dega sends coconuts to Papillon's cell to augment his meager food rations, a grave breach of prison rules. But when guards find out that Papillon has been secretly receiving food, he refuses to finger Dega as the source. This of course incites prison officials to inflict all manner of horrible deprivation on Papillon. Yet, even as he wastes away and his skin turns gray and his teeth fall out, Papillon doggedly refuses to turn on his friend.
Shaffner and screenwriters Dalton Trumbo and Lorenzo Semple Jr. obviously aim to present Papillon's behavior as heroic, but his loyalty seems to come from simple stubbornness more than bravery. His friendship with Dega is forced. It's borne of convenience, not of true human connection. Self-sacrifice isn't required.
Later, after Papillon has been released back into the general population and nursed back to health, he plans another escape, and the film takes off. For two-thirds of its running time, Papillon moves slowly, intermittently flashing to life with brief bursts of action. Then, as Papillon, Dega, and another prisoner set out on a harrowing escape, it becomes clear that the story has been working its way toward this sequence, the grand finale. Shaffner's directorial style suddenly shifts into frenetic gear and McQueen and Hoffman rise to the challenge. In what is surely one of the greatest prison escapes ever put on film, Papillon and Dega dodge bullets, traverse jungles, sail across the ocean, and brave thrilling encounters with a leper colony, a bounty hunter, an indigenous tribe and the Honduran army.
The only problem is, the movie doesn't end there. Papillon just keeps right on going... Every time it seems like it has to end, it doesn't. It's like riding in a car with someone who keeps missing turns. On and on it goes.
Without ruining the conclusion, which does eventually come, Papillon and Dega are separated and then reunited for one last fateful decision. Their fates are entwined. But by this time, it's difficult to remember who the prisoners are, the actors or the audience. It's even more difficult to care what happens. It's a shame, too, because Papillon is otherwise a pretty good movie.

Chickens are no longer just for those in the country. Many communities across the country allow chickens, with restrictions, inside the city limits.
The item was brought to the attention of the El Dorado City Commission on Monday and staff is now looking into the request.
The issue arose when one day last month El Dorado resident Jonnetta Miller's husband called her and told her there was a chicken out by the toll booth of the south turnpike exit and he was afraid it would get run over. She went out and got it and then went door to door out in the Village to see if it belonged to anyone. While no one claimed it, several commented they would like to have chickens. She called City Manager Herb Llewellyn about this.
"I thought you needed to hear this story and know there is discussion in our community about the desire to have chickens," Llewellyn said. "I think you can have chickens in town compatibly."
He said a lot of neighboring towns allow chickens.
"Fifty years ago there weren't even regulations about poultry or livestock in town, then the pendulum swung over and cities decided to change that and banned all of them," Llewellyn said. "I think we see that pendulum coming back toward the center."
He did say there was a responsibility on the part of the owners so as not to negatively impact neighbors.
Llewellyn suggested they see what other communities are doing and bring it back to the commission.
Commissioner David Chapin said he watched a few news clips on chickens. He found it is happening all across the United States and Canada.
"In most of the world it's normal to have chickens in your backyard," he said.
Manure was one problem he found to exist.
"I think to look at other towns to see what they are doing on how to go about this would be the start," Chapin said.
He also wanted to hear what the public thought about it.
"With the new green lifestyle that we're living, a fresh egg getting popped out every day to get cooked is not a bad thing," he said. "I would be in favor of looking into it and keep it reasonable. I don't want to have a Tyson's in every back yard."
Commissioner Bill Young also said he had quite a few people bring this up to him over the years.
"I'm a big fan of farm fresh eggs," Young said. "I agree we need to know what we are getting into and give people the opportunity to have the chickens and raise chickens."

Mayor Mike Fagg said in Wichita people are allowed to have three hens without a permit and up to 12 with a $25 permit.
Chapin also pointed out most laying hens don't need a rooster. He thought one of the main attractions of roosters is the fighting, so that was an area he wanted to stay away from.
Llewellyn said they will continue gathering information on it.
"I think it is more common for cities to allow it than to not," he said. "Augusta is the only city I heard of around here that prohibits them."

The Americans and British bombardment lasted for about 25 hours. Major George Armistead, Fort McHenry's commander, estimated later that from 1,500 to 1,800 shells and rockets were fired at the fort.

In the timeless words of Hank Williams: "Are you ready for some ... foreign policy?"
Suffice it to say, that political pitch doesn't inspire quite the same excitement among many Americans as does the famous Monday Night Football theme song. And if you're the Commission on Presidential Debates, therein lies the problem.
The Commission on Wednesday announced its finalized schedule and format for this fall's quadrennial debate series, consisting of three presidential contests and one showdown between the vice presidential nominees. The announcement ignited a renewed sense of anticipation among political junkies. But a close examination of the debate itinerary reveals sports-related conflicts that could threaten to siphon from the presidential spotlight a sizable chunk of persuadable potential voters. Here's an overview of the debates, and the competition they face:
Don't Miss Today's Top Stories
Chock full of usable information on today's issues."
Michael, Executive Director
Concise coverage of everything I wish I had hours to read about."
Chuck, Graduate Student

Stacy, Director of Communications
Great way to keep up with Washington"

Okay, so I'm nor particularily new ( I'm lvl 19 ), But I'm always in pvp games and I always get yelled at for being bad. Yes I get it I'm not too good. But I find bots are way to easy and pvp is to hard for me, I'm just stuck in a rock and a hard place here. Any suggestions? I'm just scared I will be banned for intentionally feeding even though I don't do that kind of stuff.
Any suggestions?
Senior Member
You cannot be banned for doing poorly if you aren't doing it on purpose, but you need to be more careful in PVP matches. Intentional feeding can actually be rather hard to judge in the Tribunal. Personally I look at the number of times they died against the number of times others died and put that together with whether or not I think they need an attitude adjustment. It's not always your fault that a game goes badly however, and you should try to see what you can do to improve. Reading guides about the characters you play seems to be a good start.

Having played in a fantasy baseball league during college, Chicago firefighter Matt Grage, 55, is in his 15th year with the CFCL.
"When I first started in the league, I'd go to spring training and scout," Grage says.
Now doing most of his scouting online, Grage and his Graging Bulls won the championship for the first time last season. He also had a championship season in one of the fantasy football leagues he plays.
The CFCL's lengthy constitution has been modified during the years, and most disagreements are handled peacefully. "This is, first and foremost, a gentlemen's league," Bentel says.
In his 21st year as an owner, Naperville's Matt Bentel (the co-founder's cousin) says he has more time for the league now that his daughter and twin sons have graduated from college.
"I love baseball, and being a Cubs fan, there isn't much to cheer about some years," says the 55-year-old elevator-installer. "So I can cheer for my own team."
Even if the results are the same.
"I've never won," he says. "I'm the Cubs of this league."
His son, Mike, 24, is working on his doctoral degree in chemical engineering but will fly in from California for the draft, which is such a fun time that the group records it and posts videos on its website so members can relive highlights from past years.
"You want to talk about paint drying," Rich Bentel says. "But for us, it is hilarious."
Keeping the league going as everyone evolves through college, jobs, marriage and parenthood hasn't been easy. The group now farms out the statistic-keeping to a service.
"We do have jobs and families," Rich Bentel says. "Our wives may not understand, but they tolerate what we do."
Rich Bentel's wife of 21 years, Kim, was a Mets fan when they met. He knew he would propose to her (in a small plane flying over Wrigley Field on game day) after she gave him a card reading, "My love for you is deeper than the Mets' starting rotation."

Don't overlook fixer-uppers, withdrawn listings
Don't overlook fixer-uppers, withdrawn listings
Dian Hymer
Inman News™
You'd think with so many homes for sale, there would be no problem finding one to buy. However, plenty of buyers who would like to buy now to take advantage of low interest rates and prices can't find the right home.
One problem is that the most desirable areas don't have an oversupply of good homes for sale. Sellers who don't have a good reason to sell now aren't, so the supply of good listings is low.
Many listings that are available in these coveted areas either need a lot of work or are overpriced for the market.
Fixer-uppers aren't popular because they add to the uncertainty of the transaction. Most buyers are already concerned about the market, their jobs and the state of the economy. They shy away from homes that need a lot of work because it raises more questions and uncertainty. How much will it cost? Could it cost more than expected? How long will it take to complete the job?
HOUSE HUNTING TIP: Buyers who have the vision to imagine a home in its fixed-up condition can keep costs down if they live in the home while the work is being done. Expect it to be a stressful experience and plan on the work taking longer than anticipated. Uncontrollable factors, like rain, can hold a project up due to no fault of the contractor.
Most contractors like to work on a time and materials basis, which leaves the ultimate cost unknown. A fixed-price contract may cost more, but if unanticipated work needs to be done, it won't cost you more. It's like paying for insurance.
A listing that has been on the market for some time is likely to be overpriced. Try making a low offer. You might be able to negotiate a mutually acceptable price. Before making an offer, ask your agent to find out if the sellers are planning on reducing the price. If so, make your offer quickly. When listings are lowered to the market price, more than one offer can appear.
Have your agent search the multiple listing service to see if there are any listings that might suit your needs that didn't sell and were withdrawn from the market. If the owners still want to sell and are willing to be flexible on price (the listing probably didn't sell because it was overpriced), make an offer and see if you can reach an agreement. First, ask to see disclosures and reports to find out if there's any reason, other than price, why you wouldn't want to buy the property.
Another approach is to broaden your search. If you've been focusing on only one area, you might consider several other neighborhoods that could work for you. This opens you up to more new inventory.
One couple was set on buying in Piedmont, Calif., for the location and schools. There was so much demand in their price range and so few listings that they were priced out of that niche market. They bought a home in neighboring Contra Costa County where they got much more for their money and good schools, although they had to sacrifice on location.
Easing up on your homebuying requirements helps you to buy sooner rather than later. For instance, if you'd like a view but can drop that requirement, you'll have a much easier time finding a home to buy. All homebuyers need to make compromises. But don't buy a home that won't serve your ongoing housing needs. In this market, it makes sense only to buy for the long term.
THE CLOSING: It's better to rent until the right place comes along than it is to buy a home that you'll need to sell again soon.

At CrossFit 262, John Schmidt?an NCSA certified coach and former All-American wrestler?does the same exercises as a child or a senior citizen. That's because CrossFit varies its workouts by intensity, but not by skill level. During introductory CrossFit 101 sessions, John and the rest of the staff teach newcomers all of the prerequisite movements for classes, including deadlifts, squats, cleans, and rope-climbing. The gym also hosts CrossFit Unloaded classes, which utilize lighter weights and don't require the CrossFit 101 series as a prerequisite.
Snap Fitness, bustling with cardio and strength-training gear, throws open the doors to its facilities 24/7. Before exercisers put sneakers to treadmills or lift their first weights, staff meet with them to talk about their fitness goals before suggesting personalized fitness plans based on clients' strength, cardio condition, and bionic-limb manufacturers. The gym keeps members motivated with regular check-in calls and demystifies healthful eating with custom online meal plans designed by nutritionists. Staff also forestall exercise-routine boredom by working individually with clients on a routine basis.
A cluster of ropes cascade from the ceiling to the floor; some are knotted, others are not, but each one bears the weight of an ambitious exerciser climbing his or her way to the top. It?s just another day at CrossFit Lykos, where experienced coaches oversee workouts based in functional-fitness exercises. The expansive gym has enough open space for clients to perfect their Olympic weightlifting form, hang from gymnastics rings, jump onto plyometric wooden boxes, and develop other functional movements.
The Morton Grove Park District plays host to whole families with community-focused childcare, summer camps, fitness classes, and recreational programs. Preschool classes teach kids that classrooms are more than just growth chambers that middle schoolers walk into before emerging as bearded adults. Adults can stay fit with athletic programs or laps around the park's multiple pools. As visitors leave dance classes or wrap themselves in tinfoil to better reflect sunlight into the eyes of passing cyclists, they can take notice of the eco-friendly lighting of the Prairie View Community Center.
Rush Performance: Personal Training Studio's certified trainers take positive attitudes and community support so seriously that if you complain during your trial of the Team Rush training program and bring any negativity, you won't be able to join Team Rush. And that would mean not torching hundreds of calories and toning up during strength, cardio, and sports conditioning sessions and high-intensity interval circuits.
Even the personal training requires supporting your fellow exercisers as it usually involves small groups of two to four working out together and forming a human pyramid to place any junk food out of reach. The trainers often use the FitRanX fitness-testing system to determine how fit a person is before they start Rush's programs and to monitor their progress throughout.
Snap Fitness's around-the-clock gyms enable members to work on their physical well-being with a cornucopia of fitness equipment. With 24-hour access, members don't have to let The Man tell them when to help themselves to Snap's strength and cardio equipment, which features built-in TVs and other media diversions. For those who exercise during conventional hours, Snap's friendly, unintimidating atmosphere welcomes patrons of all ability levels, unlike schoolyard dodge-ball squads. Members also enjoy nationwide access to all Snap Fitness locations, ideal for working out while traveling. For a dose of custom advice, patrons can seek out a personal-training session with a certified coach, who helps them assess and address their fitness goals. Clients reap the benefit of individual attention as a personal trainer helps them tackle weight loss, prepare for an arm-wrestling competition, or unveil the mysteries of arcane cable-weight machines.

(THROUGH SEPT. 7) Step into the uncanny, bizarre and often mystical world of James Ensor! Let Art Muse LA guide you through an exhibition filled with paintings, drawings and etchings by this avant-garde Belgian artist who invited ridicule and criticism, but also championed a new way of expression through self-invented sarcastic and scandalous imagery. His art making, from painting to drawing and printmaking, is equally aggressive and, yes, scandalous. James Ensor is an artist of opposites who was capable of making intricately detailed etchings and drawings filled with bruising imagery. If it seems harsh today, it must have been particularly scathing to the late -19th century public. He is also a rare example of an artist who managed to shock critics, audiences and fellow artists in his youth and go on to gain official recognition as Belgium's most celebrated modern artist late in life. Find out about the many faces (and masks) of this eccentric, enigmatic man in a private tour with Art Muse LA of The Scandalous Art of James Ensor at the Getty Center.

Roff passed fit to play
March 3, 2000
Wallaby winger Joe Roff was Friday cleared of a serious back injury and is expected to play for the ACT Brumbies in their Super 12 rugby match against South Africa's Sharks here next weekend.
Roff hurt his back in a trial match against Otago a fortnight ago and was forced to leave the field early during last week's 18-15 loss to Auckland.
But a team spokesman said Roff had been cleared of any fracture during an MRI scan Friday and the injury was found to be the result of a muscle strain.
Coach Eddie Jones said he was confident Roff would take his place against

"A new twist for zombie fans"
It will be one of the books I listen to again and again. I loved the characters, the plot, and the narrators.
Day by Day Armageddon, Flesh Eaters, and Dead City although I didn't liked the way that one ended. It didn't seem to go very well with the idea of a zombie apocolypse.
Both. They are both excellent narrators. The book wouldn't be as good if either of them were absent. Jay Snyder is one of my favorite narrators as evidenced by the many books I have with his voice on them. Khristine Hvam did an excellent job as Stealth and the other female parts too, but I especially liked her interpretation of Stealth's characters voice.
Well it didn't make me laugh or cry but it was very hard not to listen all the way to the end without stopping. It also left me wanting another book in the series.
It will be looking for other audio books by Khristine Hvam.
Yes diffidently
St. George
They were great it really kept me into it, they made it more real
"A good story that mixes horror and fantasy."
I like a male doing the male voices and a female voices.
It is different type of story to me.
"Loved it!"
Just to start I'd like to say that I download the majority of zombie novels and I am always on the look for a new one.
I thought over all the book was excellent and the story reminded me a little of Marvel zombies however they are not the same kind. I don't want to say to much on that but if you are looking for a Marvel zombie carbon copy story line you may be a little disappointed.
The narration was well done and the fact that they also had a female reading for some of the characters did not lessen the experience for me. The production was top notch as well.
Sometimes its hard to warm up to new super heroes after all the years of Marvel and DC but the ones in this story I really liked and hopefully they will make at least another book to follow this one up.
How the zombies outbreak happens is original and adds alot to the story. The book is kinda told in a Pulp Fiction movie style, going from past to present. I had to listen to the story 2 times before I got a better understanding of what was going on, as far as the names of characters, what happened to them and how it applied to the current situation. I usually listen to the books while I'm working in my shop so sometimes I miss some of the critical plot points.
Overall this is a good listen and worth the credit in my book. If I didn't like it I wouldn't bother writing much of a review.
"Good listen, I liked it!"
A different twist in the zombie world, I liked it. A little hard to follow sometimes, but the voices and the stories are good.
It's worth your time and money, if you like a little "super" in your zombies ;)
The second part of the book is a 5 star, it's just a little hard to get into in the beginning.
Jay Snyder was born to tell zombie stories!
"loved it"
the thought of zombies and super heroes is awesome!!! well written and loved the story :) ppl that dont like this book are weird..im 25 and enjoyed ever second :)
"Surprisingly not bad...."
So, I am not a big zombie fan, don't usually read this kind of book. Having said that I will also add that I was rather pleasantly surprised! A bit gory and the duel narration was not my favorite, but I really liked the Heroes and I liked how the Zombies came into existence. Like I said I have never read a zombie book before so can't and won't compare it to others. But for me it was worth the buy and I think I would buy another book from this author.
I like Jack Reacher style characters regardless of setting. Put them in outer space, in modern America, in a military setting, on an alien planet... no worries. Book has non moralistic vigilante-justice? Sign me up! (oh, I read urban fantasy, soft and hard sci-fi, trashy vampire and zombie novels too)
"Not nearly as unbelievable as it *should* be..."
Hmmm... sounds silly, doesn't it... Superheroes versus Zombies. Isn't it bad enough that we have to suspend disbelief to acknowledge the existence of one of these groups, let alone both??
Surprisingly, the answer is no. Both the zombies and the superheroes are believably written, and I found myself not even batting an eye when each new superheroes' powers were revealed... a guy who is a living sun, sure, a guy who is a light-sink, sure, a guy who is possessed by an alien demon, why not...
Yes, I'm serious, all these and more were in the story, and they were all believable within their own skill sets, and each was distinctly written (so you could tell which superhero was which when they spoke, not just when flexing their superpowers).
I liked how the source of the zombies was explained - also quite believably - and even the struggle with the "bad guy" makes sense if you think about how valuable superheroes would be in a post-apocalyptic world, particularly when they can be used as a power source, or an invincible supply-scouter.
I already have bought the next in the series. The narration is very good.
"Enjoyed it very much"
I had a good time with this one. This book was a very nice combination of Super heroes and Zombies. I have read all of Kirkman's Marvel Zombies and wished that story would have been similar to this one.
I was first introduced to audiobooks during a summer when I decided to drive a truck in order to pay for college. Listening to books all day, every day was the only thing that made that job bearable.
"Like Cookies and Milk"
Without a doubt. Ex-Heroes is exciting from beginning to end. Not only is this book teeming with action, but Clines separated the story into "Now" and "Then" segments in order to break things up and keep it interesting. There isn't enough time to get bored or even catch your breath while reading.
Stealth. She's the team leader who carries the weight of the world on her shoulders. Because of this she appears cold and distant, but she just takes her job seriously.
Khristine Hvam's portrayal of Banzai really stood out. Banzai is only a minor character with a very small part to play, but Khristine brought a personality to the character that helped me to grow attached to her almost immediately, making her small role much more powerful.
The explanation for how the zombie plague began. It was so simple, but Clines wrote it well. I don't know how much I can say without spoiling a major plot reveal, but it fit perfectly within this story and challenged the way I felt about a number of different characters.
Zombies and Super-Heroes just go together. This book works.

She sued the state of Illinois, won and now has one of the first issued concealed carry permits.
Mary Shepard was brutally beaten inside the First Baptist Church of Anna in September 2009.
Since her attack, she has advocated to pass a concealed carry law in the state of Illinois.
On Tuesday, almost four-and-a-half years later, she became one of the first in Illinois to receive their concealed carry permit in the mail.
"They say everything happens for a reason, and I feel now since I have my license in my hand that it was worth all of the pain and suffering," she said.
Shepard said she hasn't won the fight just yet.
She hopes lawmakers will lighten the restriction on where people can carry, including churches.

We don't know too much about this action-RPG for PSP called Zwei!!, but we do know one thing -- it's really pretty. A little research revealed the title was originally a PC game and it's currently being made by Falcom (makers of Gurumin). December 11 is the game's release date for Japan, which isn't too far off. Hopefully, like Gurumin, North America will also get to enjoy this Falcom RPG. Check out the debut trailer posted after the break.

Have you ever gotten a cool toy or seen an interesting gadget and wondered how or who created it? When someone invents a new toy or gadget, they usually get a patent for it. A patent is a way that inventors can protect their ideas.
Do a Patent SearchWould you like to see a real patent? You can! Finding patents is almost like being a detective. A patent search is something that all inventors have to do before they can patent their invention. It lets inventors find out if anyone else has ever invented the same invention.
Another benefit is that conducting a patent search is also a great way to find out about the history of old inventions.
Different Ways To Patent Search For InventionsHere are three tutorials on the three basic ways to conduct a patent search. Remember these are introductory tutorials, and not a substitute for an advanced or professional patent search.
- Patent Search by Patent Number: This is the easiest way to find out about an invention!
- Patent Search by the Inventor's Name: This sometimes requires a little detective work, but you can do it!
- Patent Search Using Words: This is the most challenging and fun way to look for inventions!
