Students brave the cold to reach classes
Updated On: Feb 01 2013 06:51:38 AM CST
Dangerously cold weather made life miserable Thursday for the students, faculty and staff at Iowa State University.
"I have a North Face on, winter coat, gloves, ear bags and my long boots," student Briana Brunsvold said. "It's definitely freezing."
Students said Ames felt more like Antarctica.
"It just cuts right through you," student Nathan Hall said.
Single-digit temperatures may be bad, but the bitterly cold breeze made it feel like minus 25 degrees.
"You just freeze as you walk," student Jodie Clifton said.
"It kind of freezes the nose hair inside of your nose," Brunsvold said.
"I got two T-shirts, a sweatshirt and a jacket on," student Clayton Larson said. "The wind blows right through these jeans."
But the cold was no match for the strong-willed students.
"I wouldn't have gone to them if I didn't have quizzes. I have quizzes in all my classes. I would have stayed inside and not left. It's so bad out there," Clifton said.
The National Weather Service warned that skin could freeze in a matter of moments, which could lead to hypothermia and death.
Many students said they'll be skipping classes Thursday night and Friday morning.
Despite the bitter cold and wind chill on Friday morning, classes will be in session.

Chris Brown stopped by Hot 97′s "Ebro in the Morning" on Friday for an in-depth interview. The "Loyal" singer, who recently settled his lawsuits including the one in D.C., opened up about everything from his past with Rihanna to squashing his beef with Drake to his time in jail.
During his sit-down with Ebro, Peter Rosenberg, and Laura Stylez, Breezy admitted that he was unsure where his career would take him after jail. "Once you do that, it kinda makes you mature faster and see what's really important and what your focus is and what you gotta do in your career," he said.
It was Drake's camp who initially reached out about the ESPYS skit. So far, Nicki's single "Only" is the only collaboration the two have recorded. When asked if there will be more he said, "Hopefully. They gotta cut the check."
The most Chris charges for a feature is $250,000, and he demands a cut of the publishing. "If I'ma give you a No. 1, I need to capitalize off it as well," he said.
He claimed that he lost $20 million in endorsements due to his bad reputation, but said that he makes 50 percent of all sales off his album.
He and Trey Songz are gearing up to launch their joint tour. The tour does not have a title, but he has been considering "One Night Stand" and "The Morning After" as potential names for the two-hour show.
He also revealed that he was addicted to lean ("the hood cocktail") and found it impairing his work. "I was turning up. I was off the syrup and Xanax," he said. "It wasn't conducive to me. I was falling asleep on video sets, I was cussing people out randomly, I was doing crazy stuff."
Through his trials and tribulations, he's learned to be comfortable in his own skin. "I don't have to prove myself," said Chris. "I'm comfortable being a singing, dancing, painting, great guy. I don't have to be tough."
Plus, hear what he had to say about his girlfriend of four-and-a-half years Karrueche Tran, battling Usher in a dance-off, and what he fears most.

- masseter muscle
Muscles are considered to play an important role in the ongoing daily loading of bone, especially in the masticatory apparatus. Currently, there are no measurements describing this role over longer periods of time. We made simultaneous and wireless in vivo recordings of habitual strains of the rabbit mandible and masseter muscle and digastric muscle activity up to ∼ 25 h. The extent to which habitually occurring bone strains were related to muscle-activity bursts in time and in amplitude is described. The data reveal the masseter muscle to load the mandible almost continuously throughout the day, either within cyclic activity bouts or with thousands of isolated muscle bursts. Mandibular strain events rarely took place without simultaneous masseter activity, whereas the digastric muscle only played a small role in loading the mandible. The average intensity of masseter-muscle activity bouts was strongly linked to the average amplitude of the concomitant bone-strain events. However, individual pairs of muscle bursts and strain events showed no relation in amplitude within cyclic loading bouts. Larger bone-strain events, presumably related to larger muscle-activity levels, had more constant principal-strain directions. Finally, muscle-to-bone force transmissions were detected to take place at frequencies up to 15 Hz. We conclude that in the ongoing habitual loading of the rabbit mandible, the masseter muscle plays an almost non-stop role. In addition, our results support the possibility that muscle activity is a source of low-amplitude, high-frequency bone loading.

Bad Meets Evil - Fast Lane
Artist: Bad Meets Evil
Featuring: Eminem, Royce Da 5'9"
Producer: Supa Dups & Eminem
Album: Hell: The Sequel EP
Avg Rating: 4.7 ( 131 votes )
Unless you're a true hip-hop head, and have been since the '90s, it's hard to describe how excited I am to learn that Royce da 5' 9" and Eminem have finally put their ridiculous beef aside and are once again making music together as Bad Meets Evil. And if you haven't been hoping the two would reunite for over a decade, new release Fast Lane should still be more than enough to get your heart pumping. The Timbaland-ish beat, done by Em and Supa Dups, is good but not groundbreaking, but it doesn't really matter when two emcees this insanely dope put in work. Royce starts off the festivities, becoming the first rapper in hip-hop history to use the word "unicorn" threateningly, followed by a top-form Slim Shady verse. It was the third verse though, when the two began trading off spitfire lines, that I really lost my mind. Goddamn – if you're not impressed, you're unimpressable. Hopefully this means the duo's collab EP, Hell: The Sequel, will be every bit as dope as Fast Lane when it drops June 14.

A third of food labels claiming produce is local are wrong – Daily Express
Country/Region: United Kingdom
British consumers could be eating halal lamb from New Zealand unknowingly, because it is incorrectly labelled as Welsh. The Daily Express has revealed that a third of food labels claiming that produce is local are wrong.
This news adds to growing concern that the British public is being pushed into eating halal meat, underlining the importance of Operation Nehemiah's active campaign to require accurate labelling of meat products.
In a separate report, The Scottish Farmer last month claimed that 25 to 30 per cent of British lambs are slaughtered according to halal rules. The estimate comes as meat industry researcher EBLEX claims that demand for sheep meat would increase in the UK if the industry worked more closely with the Muslim community to gain wider acceptance for halal mainstream production and slaughter practices.
EBLEX sector director Nick Allen warned that halal meat has to be marketed better in the UK to attract more Muslims into larger retailers. He said that the trade had a history of sourcing lamb products from New Zealand, which could offer assurances that it had been authenticated as halal, but he added that there was also an opportunity for English suppliers if they could attain the same standards.

Early in the season, Carlos Boozer looks as bad as many expected. The wild gesticulations. The bellows of "AAAAAAAND ONE!!!!!" The (sometimes) spray painted on hair. All of these things and more make Carlos Boozer stand out in a way that also render him an easy target. On the day the Lakers claimed him off of amnesty waivers, it was very hard to find a positive take on the move.

Transgender Television Pilot MYRNA is Not Just About a Boy Who is a Girl
The creative team at Less is More Productions and Scorpio Rising Films has teamed with Brad Wyman's newly launched online financing platform, FanBacked.com to produce their upcoming original dramedy pilot, "Myrna." Running from June 4, 2014 through July 3, 2014, their FanBacked financing drive at Greenlight.MyrnaTVShow.com, intends to raise $25,000. This money will be used to create a half hour television pilot for distribution in the growing cable and premium serial market.
This groundbreaking television series will be the first television show centered around a transgender woman, played by award-winning transgender actress, Marlo Bernier, but it's not just about a "boy who is a girl," it's about the human connection and about how we all strive to live life as who we really are. Inspired by the real life experiences of the show's star and writer, Marlo Bernier, formally Mark Bernier (Angels in America, Cecil B DeMented), this half hour dramedy speaks with a voice yet to be heard on television. Bernier affirms, "with 'Myrna' we are seeking to elevate the public's understanding on the oft times misconstrued topic of transsexualism - it's time we stop depicting the sole image of transgender people in popular media as being relegated to the peripheries of society such as drug addicts and prostitutes." Myrna shows life day to day for a transgender woman in a way few other works have dared to do.
After a successful career in front of the camera and on the stage, Myrna sacrificed everything when she finally confronted her true gender identity and transitioned from male-to-female. The project follows Myrna (Marlo Bernier) as she struggles to find work as an actress and deals with her friends' reactions as they come to terms with her life-altering decision. Director, Ted Campbell asserts, "'Myrna' will be as provocative as it is touching. It is a story about a human being with all the same ups and downs in life, all the same faults and strengths within each of us. She just happens to be transsexual."
"'Myrna' teaches us all," observes Producer Jennifer Fontaine, "that we have the ability, every second we are alive, to make a profound and meaningful change in the way we live our lives." Myrna marks the fourth collaboration for Marlo Bernier, Jennifer Fontaine and Ted Campbell whose previous projects, Stealth (2009), Snuff (2012), and Finding John Smith (2012) have garnered critical acclaim for their unique and relate-able narratives on complex and controversial subjects.
Information on Myrna, the production team, and updates throughout the fundraising campaign will be available on Facebook at www.facebook.com/MyrnaTVShow and on Twitter at https://twitter.com/myrnatvshow.

Helen Emsley tells autos.aol.com that she was afraid of seeing the headline, "British woman kills Corvette."
But there was no need for the GM designer who was put in charge of the dazzling makeover of the C7 Corvette's interior to feel that way.
Helen Emsley tells autos.aol.com that she was afraid of seeing the headline, "British woman kills Corvette."
But there was no need for the GM designer who was put in charge of the dazzling makeover of the C7 Corvette's interior to feel that way.
On Wednesday afternoon at the 2013 New York Auto Show, Chevrolet held its press conference to show off its new performance car lineup. As the crowd of journalists crowded into the North Hall of the Javits Center, we figured something special was in progress when Chevy reps started handing out ear plugs.
The presentation got started with a very loud video showing highlights of Chevrolet racing on the bowtie jumbo-tron. With the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Coupe positioned in the middle of the stage under the bowtie, GM's North American President Mark Reuss addressed the crowd.
If you are like most enthusiasts about this time of year you are experiencing a bad case of "cabin fever". Shut in by the cold and the snow and too early to wake your hibernating car from its winter sleep and take it for its initial Spring cruise, you can't help but think of the warm weather and all of the things you will be doing once your Corvette emerges from beneath its flannel lined custom car cover and once again hits the road. One of the things that can help allay the winter doldrums and kick off the Spring is to begin to plan your summer "bucket list" of "can't miss" events and one of the events that should be at the top of that list is "Back to the Bricks" and the fourth annual Corvette Reunion for 2013.
Two new videos posted by Pratt & Miller show off an innovative new rear-racing radar system that made its debut for Corvette Racing at the recent 12 Hours of Sebring.
With just a glance, the driver can tell how many cars are trailing him and by how much, and whether or not they are a faster class.
One of the interesting displays at the Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance was from Hagerty Insurance. It's the 50th anniversary for two automotive icons – the Porsche 911 and the Corvette Sting Ray – and Hagerty asked fans to vote for their favorite.
Dispelling the recent rumors that the new C7 Corvette Stingray's starting price will be approaching or topping $70K, Alan Taylor, automotive journalist and TV personality, said the new Corvette Convertible will retail for about $60K. During a segment on ABC's popular morning TV show, "LIVE with Kelly and Michael", Taylor introduced and literally uncovered several of the new cars being displayed and unveiled at the New York Auto Show this week.
The new 2014 Corvette Stingray was one of the star attractions at the Amelia Island Concours earlier this month. In addition to showing off the new C7, they also gathered together a collection of some very rare 1963 Sting Rays as well. Click past the jump to check out some of the 50 year old Corvettes that were in attendance at Amelia Island.
Maybe there's something in the water.
On Thursday, Jason Mills became the second Bowling Green resident to win a Corvette through recent National Corvette Museum raffles.
A few weeks prior to the Geneva Motor Show, the folks over at Edmunds got a sneak peak of the new C7 convertible Michigan. During their visit they also spoke to GM's Director of Exterior Design, Tom Peters. In the 4 and a half minute video after the break, Peters and Edmunds' Alistair Weaver discuss the merits of the all new topless Corvette.
Maybe it pays to be a lawmaker in Washington, D.C., at least if you are a Corvette enthusiast.
Legislators got a special treat Thursday when General Motors CEO and Chairman Dan Akerson showed up on Capitol Hill with a special treat – a Cyber Gray 2014 Corvette Stingray coupe.

4 months after surgery, this is what i have, still hoping things will get better, i would really appreciate some input from doctors, as i am very scared.
1- i have one normal fleshy arm with saggy skin from the inside, and one very thin arm that is too tight from the inside, difference in circumference between the two arms is 2 cm. one arm was over sucked for sure.
2- my thighs look terrible, my inner thighs have a big groove all along. i feel like my thighs were done from both the inner and outer thighs, but not from the front and back, so they look thin from the front and the back but still the same from the side.
3- my abdomen and waist is too thin, my hip bones are too clear and they hurt, both of which made me look like i have a tummy which i never had a problem with.
4- my back is the only part of me that looks good (maybe because i can't see it clearly!!!!!!!!!!!)
5- my butt is still too big even though i asked to look like i exercised a bit more (nothing sexy was my request)
6- my breasts look the same, from the first month the fat was already dissolved.
4 months after surgery, this is what i have, still...
deformed arms and legs
can i have fat transfered to oversucked arms? and to holes in my oversucked thighs? would it help if i gain weight?
my doctor was not talkative at all when i met him the day before surgery. i was clear about getting vaser hd because it promises skin retraction as i have soft skin. doctor said if skin does not retract it will not look worse. it is worse so dont do it if you have soft skin. my markings were done AFTER i was given something to calm me down. so i had no say in anything, and my legs were not marked at all!!!!!!!!!!! be sure to make your markings in front of a mirror, and while completely awake otherwise you will end up with a form that your doctor thinks is nice. i am sending this review to save people thinking about doing what i did, doctors dont share the downside of surgery.

I tried this for the first time right out of high school in 1994, way before it became all the rage, you know, when dark colors just looked too scarey to try lol! Anyway, I've always had one on hand but I've realized that I haven't even reached for mine in nearly 2 years. It's just sitting there in my train case. Love the tube and sheer coverage but the shade just turns a reddish brown/berry on me.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Hate to say it, but I really wasn't fond of this. From best to worst: The packaging is *perfect*. It comes in a thin silver tube that stashes away easily even in a small purse. The texture was so-so; if I didn't put balm underneath, it just sort of sat upon my lips and made them look wrinkly (and I'm 22!). The worst part was the color. Maybe it was my warm skin tone, but it looked bright purple-berry-- *totally* unnatural! I'll stick with Clinique's Different Lipstick in Guava Stain (my HG).
Nice shade but it only lasts for like 2 seconds! Yes, it's a gloss and you don't expect glosses to last but for the money I prefer Shiseido's Honey Tea or even Lipsmacker's Dr. Pepper. A great shade for going to the beach, but doesn't layer well.
More reviews by islandgirl_001
Love, love, love this lip color! I've been using this for about 10 years. I'm a lipstick/lipgloss fanatic but keep this in my collection as a staple. Very flattering on almost all skintones.
I had Black Honey in the gloss, but I find it goes "bad" quickly (thick, goopey, hard to spread) so someone on the MU board recommended I try the Almost Lipstick formula. I like this much better - creamy and silky and staying power is good. Same great classic berry stain I have loved for years. Will buy this instead of the gloss from now on.
if this product is ever discontinued, i will take to the streets. it's YLBB. i've tried other lippies and return to black honey without fail. i've been using this for *years*. definitely a staple. i buy two whenever my local clinique counter has the GWP.
I first tried this color as a teen, and it still doesn't work for me. For reference, I'm asian with NC35/C4 coloring/Chanel med beige 4 with dark hair and eyes.
The color itself is pretty, a sheer purply berry color - the tone just looked off on my coloring. It never looks quite right, no matter what lighting I'm in. The texture and staying power is good, but I prefer the denser lipglosses for a higher impact shine. continued >>
Love this color...it's a reddish gloss that looks great with my pale but rosy skin. A good choice if you want a gloss that actually looks red on your lips, not just in the package.
I got this as a gift from my sister. I love this color. It is very pretty. I like it a lot. I mixed this with a little bit of gold gloss with it once in awhile and it looked beautiful.
This gives a nice enough berry stain to my lips. The problem is that berries don't look very flattering on me. The colour is just too... purple, or something. I think I was expecting the colour to be a bit more neutral, which I don't think it is, and a bit more sheer. It definitely comes out too dark on me. It's a nice enough colour, but nothing special, in my opinion. It also just plain doesn't suit me.
EDIT: I'm coming around to this colour. I just have to wear very little other makeup and it looks okay.

I just became the new owner of a very old Craftsman paint Sprayer due to the passing of my Grandfather.
It appears to have been only used once and to my surprise it started working when I plugged it in!
I'd like to find some information on it and Sears classifies it as too old so I've turned here.
It carries a model number of 106-5592
It is Electric and drives a 4 Cylinder compressor via a belt from the Electric Motor.
I'll try and post a pic asap.
Any information reguarding age, operations manual, parts manual, etc. would be appreciated.

Did you ever find any info on this compressor? Can it be used to air up tires also? Do you have a picture of yours? This one was found by my son while cleaning out an old shed, still runs but no hose or anything with it and it's very heavy. It has been cleaned up since this pic.
Thanks, Al
Thanks, Al
I've got one of those as well have either of you found out any info, such as date it was made or original purpose. Mine runs great but needs a shut off valve.

NORTH CREEK As this new year begins, let us pay tribute to some quintessential Adirondack qualities: a feisty resilience in the face of tough times; a warm gift for friendship; a willingness to work at a constellation of jobs to keep body and soul together; a spirit of generosity that means giving and giving some more even when the giver has little wealth to share. One North Creek native who fits this profile well is Mary Lou Cole, for nearly seven years a popular volunteer at the Town of Johnsburg Library. To school children, who seem to gravitate to her, she is a familiar presence at the computer, dispensing books with a sparkling smile. She doesn't need to say much and that is just as well. On her 41st birthday, 18 years ago, Cole discovered that she had throat cancer and would need major, speech-robbing surgery to conquer it. But that was only one jolt, and not even the worst, in a bumpy string of calamities dating back into local history. Her grandfather, John Cole, came to the area at age three in 1889, and as an adult he owned a 122-acre farm off River Road that was lush with plantings. I can remember gardens all over the place, says Cole today, her voice a husky whisper. We had potatoes, corn, all kinds of vegetables. Her grandmother, a marvelous cook, turned the 26-room farmhouse with its gracious, wrap-around porch into a successful boarding house. One giant woodstove in the parlor warmed the entire place, as heat filtered through grates into the bedrooms above. Every day, Mary Jane Cole baked melt-in-your-mouth bread and doughnuts in an old iron oven, and she taught her granddaughter how to cook, without benefit of recipes. I don't even think she owned a measuring cup, Mary Lou Cole said. She just measured her ingredients by hand. The family was devastated when the old house burned to the ground in 1974, and today the parcel is a vacant lot. But Mary Lou and her mother, Betty a single parent and accounting clerk in the Warren County Department of Social Services for 38 years started over. They moved into a large trailer on the site, along with Cole's grandmother, by now a widow. Then on Feb. 3, 1978, trouble struck again. While everyone except Mary Jane Cole was away, the furnace exploded and fire engulfed the trailer. Crippled by arthritis, the older woman could not escape, and she succumbed to smoke inhalation before fire fighters could save her. By this time, Mary Lou Cole was a single parent herself with a young son, Danny, born in 1969. Both sweet and mischievous, Danny had an irresistible smile and "a devilish grin," recalls Cole. Betty Cole's only grandchild and Mary Lou's only child, he was a much-loved little boy. On an unseasonably hot June day, Danny just 10 years old was playing softball on the playground at Johnsburg Central School when he suddenly collapsed and died. There had been no warning. All at once, he was gone and, heartbroken as she was, Cole knew that his teachers and classmates were also stunned by his loss. Gathering her courage, she visited Danny's classroom and consoled his friends. She remains grateful for the outpouring of support among her North Country friends and neighbors at her son's death. The North Creek United Methodist Church was filled to overflowing, and the line at the funeral home backed up into the street. After each fire, the community had reacted in the same generous way. People came and helped clean up what was left. It was really amazing, she said, shaking her head. Whenever something happens here, everyone is there for everybody else. They were there for her again in 1989, when another cruel blow struck. Cole, a smoker, was diagnosed with throat cancer and needed serious surgery, performed at Glens Falls Hospital by Dr. Robert Hughes. At first, the two had some run-ins, but eventually they developed a strong mutual respect, even friendship. Today, Dr. Hughes still sees Cole every couple of months, and she declares that he has more heart than any 10 people combined. Limited now in her activities, Cole who once cooked in restaurants, sold real estate, worked at a gas station, tended bar and looked after sick members of her own family has turned to volunteer activities. She serves as treasurer of the Friends of the Town of Johnsburg Library board and as secretary of the Bluegrass Festival Committee; she helps out at church during Christmas bazaars. Most of all, she enjoys honing her gift for friendship. When babies are born, she makes them afghans, and she often writes notes asking people how they are doing. A 1966 graduate of Johnsburg Central School, she is a key member of the Lunch Bunch, a close-knit group of classmates who meet twice a year for lunch and gossip. Mary Lou makes us all feel special, said Sue Pelletier Rawson, a Lunch Bunch member along with Sue Hutchins Allison, Mary Owens Pratt and Cindy Johnson Wing. She is the glue in the class of '66, and a big part of the reason that we get together. She is always interested in what's happening to us, and she is just a really good friend. A few years ago, the community came together again for Mary Lou Cole, to attend a memorial service for her son. In 2003, on her own 55th birthday, they gathered at Tannery Pond for a festive celebration hosted by the Friends group and the Lunch Bunch, with music from popular local artist Mike Leddick. Now, with her 60th birthday looming, Cole is pondering another special event. What will it be? It's hard to surprise people in a place like North Creek. Everyone knows what you're doing before you do it," she said with an indulgent smile. But that's all right. This is home.

A Trade or Profession?
By Ralph Stephens, BS, LMT, NCTMB
There it was: a CBS MarketWatch story raving about how the stock of trade schools (career colleges) rose dramatically in 2003. The article listed the "10 hottest fields," and guess what? Massage therapy is the top training program being added to trade schools.Hey colleagues, we're number one - in trade schools - which brings us to the question: "Is the practice of massage therapy a trade or a profession?"
While many of us have always considered it a profession, massage is being increasingly taught as a trade. Let's look at what the dictionary* has to say about this:
The practice of massage involves skill and it can be an occupation, so it clearly meets the definition of a trade. A profession requires extensive education or specialized training. Massage education involves specialized training, but is it extensive? Certainly not at the entry level, and therein lies the problem.
Extensive education is available for those who desire it. There are schools out there that offer more than the minimum requirements to get licensed or pass the National Certification Exam; however, they are few and far between. In most areas, extensive training is only available through advanced continuing-education programs.
Currently, a group of school owners in Florida feels there is no need to increase the educational requirements, so long as the massage therapists cause no harm to the public. It is sad that this group believes our standards of professional training involve teaching students just enough to not harm the public. While that's better than what can be said about many allopathic practitioners (who inflict a lot of harm and bury their mistakes), it sells massage-therapy education short. Why can't we set standards high enough to teach students to do more than not harm the public?
I agree with the argument that more hours for the sake of more hours is not an improvement; 1,000 hours of lousy education is worse than 500 hours of lousy education. Merely raising the entry-level hour requirement will not improve the quality of massage education or the competency of graduates. The root of the problem lies with the low quality of the hours offered. How can we improve massage education and shut down poor-quality schools? (Not necessarily small schools - there are many excellent small schools.)
Massage therapy and bodywork is spiraling down from the fastest emerging new health care profession to a trade because of a lack of enforceable educational standards. What stands in the way? MONEY. Massage schools are a huge part of the massage industry and sit on a raging river of money. School owners and associations need the continuous flow of new students and members. They both see financial disincentives if the entry-level bar is raised, so they resist such attempts. Short, inadequate programs ensure a high dropout rate from the expanding profession, which maintains the demand for new students and graduates.
The low-entry bar, unenforceable educational standards, high dropout rates, and the way massage is currently taught as a trade from "school-in-a-box-curriculums" will slowly drag our profession down from first-door health care providers to tradespeople in relaxation spas and physical therapy departments, working for slightly above minimum wage. While some schools lead by example with excellent programs and superb instructors, others prey on students - often on many levels. What can be done at this point? It is difficult to get in the way of a river of money. It will usually sweep you away or drown you. It is this cash flow that chains us to the status quo of lousy schools. Many of us have searched in vain for effective solutions, and the only organization that has tried to place high standards on massage schools didn't cover its bases and may be sued out of existence.
In the February issue, Cliff Korn talked about "Appreciative Inquiry" - a system of finding the positive and then working to create more of it (www.massagetoday.com/archives/2004/02/11.html). Now, I really like that! I have written previously in this column that you get what you concentrate on. It should be obvious that if you concentrate on eliminating sickness, poverty, cancer, drugs, or anything else, the results are always more of what you don't want. The mind is the creator, and you manifest what you concentrate on. Look around. How successful have the "wars" on poverty, cancer and drugs been? There is more poverty, cancer and drugs than ever. How well has the allopathic medical system - with its entire focus on sickness - done at reducing sickness? It has failed miserably. There is more sickness than ever. (Sorry, but sanitation and hygiene have reduced sickness - not allopathic procedures!)
Those of us who care about education have to change our focus. If we keep focusing on the lousy, "just-do-no-harm" mindset, all we will get is more of the lousy. We need to stop concentrating on lousy schools and the problems they cause. We have to find and focus on the positive and the excellent in massage education. We have to hold up the great schools as models, and steer potential therapists toward them. We have to find the greatness, and work to make it the norm. We cannot fight the current cash-flow-based education system in the trade of massage, but we can begin to create a new channel for cash to flow toward professional excellence. This will build the profession toward being the premier wellness modality in health care.
It is a bold, daring concept to work toward excellence in a culture that holds the likes of Homer and Bart Simpson as its role models, and works to suppress excellence and achievement in the name of "fairness." Remember, life is not fair. Fair is for underachievers; Fair is somewhere between average and poor, and that is not good enough for the health care of our fellow man.
To my colleagues who care about what's left of the massage therapy profession, let's begin thinking about what is excellent in massage education. Let's focus on making high standards the rule, not the exception. We will not fail to bring about what we concentrate on. It's time to start working to implement this concept of Appreciative Inquiry. As one of my teachers told me, "Keep your eye on the donut, not the hole."
