This study compared the effects of ADIM on the muscle onset time of the hamstring, gluteus maximus, and erector spinae muscles during prone hip extension exercise in subjects with or without hyperlordotic lumbar angle. Forty healthy adults (18 male, 22 female) were recruited for this study. Methods: The lumbar lordotic angles and pelvic tilt angles of the subjects were measured using the Avaliacao postural analysis software. The subjects were divided into two groups: the lumbar hyperlordotic angle (LHLA) and lumbar normal lordotic angle (LNLA) groups. The muscle contraction onset time of the hamstring, gluteus maximus, and erector spinae were assessed using surface electromyography. Results: During ADIM application, the muscle contraction onset time of the gluteus maximus was significantly increased in the LHLA group compared with the LNLA group. Conclusions: ADIM application during prone hip extension was more effective for gluteus maximus onset time in the LHLA group. Therefore, ADIM during prone hip extension may be useful for gluteus maximus training in individuals with lumbar hyperlordosis. http://www.jphysiolanthropol.com/content/33/1/34 Taewoo Kim Youngkeun Woo Yongwook Kim Journal of Physiological Anthropology 2014, null:34 2014-11-27T00:00:00Z doi:10.1186/1880-6805-33-34 /content/figures/1880-6805-33-34-toc.gif Journal of Physiological Anthropology 1880-6805 ${item.volume} 34 2014-11-27T00:00:00Z PDF Effects of tryptophan-rich breakfast and light exposure during the daytime on melatonin secretion at night Background: The purpose of the present study is to investigate effects of tryptophan intake and light exposure on melatonin secretion and sleep by modifying tryptophan ingestion at breakfast and light exposure during the daytime, and measuring sleep quality (by using actigraphy and the OSA sleep inventory) and melatonin secretion at night. Methods: Thirty three male University students (mean ± SD age: 22 ± 3.1 years) completed the experiments lasting 5 days and 4 nights. The subjects were randomly divided into four groups: Poor*Dim (n = 10), meaning a tryptophan-poor breakfast (55 mg/meal) in the morning and dim light environment (<50 lx) during the daytime; Rich*Dim (n = 7), tryptophan-rich breakfast (476 mg/meal) and dim light environment; Poor*Bright (n = 9), tryptophan-poor breakfast and bright light environment (>5,000 lx); and Rich*Bright (n = 7), tryptophan-rich breakfast and bright light. Results: Saliva melatonin concentrations on the fourth day were significantly lower than on the first day in the Poor*Dim group, whereas they were higher on the fourth day in the Rich*Bright group. Creatinine-adjusted melatonin in urine showed the same direction as saliva melatonin concentrations. These results indicate that the combination of a tryptophan-rich breakfast and bright light exposure during the daytime could promote melatonin secretion at night; further, the observations that the Rich*Bright group had higher melatonin concentrations than the Rich*Dim group, despite no significant differences being observed between the Poor*Dim and Rich*Dim groups nor the Poor*Bright and Rich*Bright groups, suggest that bright light exposure in the daytime is an important contributor to raised melatonin levels in the evening. Conclusions: This study is the first to report the quantitative effects of changed tryptophan intake at breakfast combined with daytime light exposure on melatonin secretion and sleep quality. Evening saliva melatonin secretion changed significantly and indicated that a tryptophan-rich breakfast and bright light exposure during the daytime promoted melatonin secretion at this time. http://www.jphysiolanthropol.com/content/33/1/33 Haruna Fukushige Yumi Fukuda Mizuho Tanaka Kaoru Inami Kai Wada Yuki Tsumura Masayuki Kondo Tetsuo Harada Tomoko Wakamura Takeshi Morita Journal of Physiological Anthropology 2014, null:33 2014-11-19T00:00:00Z doi:10.1186/1880-6805-33-33 /content/figures/1880-6805-33-33-toc.gif Journal of Physiological Anthropology 1880-6805 ${item.volume} 33 2014-11-19T00:00:00Z XML Mental health problems and influencing factors in Japanese women 4 months after delivery Background: Postpartum mental health problems are a major public health issue; however, studies on the mental health status of mothers and its influencing factors between 8 weeks and 1 year postpartum are scarce. Furthermore, it would be necessary to examine the factors influencing mothers' mental health in order to evaluate their physiological adaptations to the nursing environment. Methods: We examined the mental health status of postpartum women and the factors influencing poor mental health at 4 months after delivery. A cross-sectional study of 584 postpartum women was conducted. Information on mental health status, delivery, and other factors was collected using a self-administered questionnaire. Women were asked about their age, height, weight, gestational or marital status, whether they were eating regular meals, appetite, frequency of going out, financial difficulty, stressful life events, and history of depression. The Japanese version of the 12-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12) was used to identify potential poor mental health status. Participants with GHQ-12 scores of ≥4 were classified as the high GHQ-12 score group (poor mental health status) and participants with GHQ-12 scores of ≤3 were classified as the low GHQ-12 score group (good mental health status). Results: Forty-five women (7.7%) were classified as having high GHQ-12 scores. Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that older age, not eating meals regularly, and history of depression were significantly associated with poor mental health. Financial difficulty had a borderline association with poor mental health in this model. Conclusions: These risk factors might help practitioners identify women at high risk of poor mental health after delivery. http://www.jphysiolanthropol.com/content/33/1/32 Naoko Yamamoto Yasuyo Abe Kazuhiko Arima Takayuki Nishimura Emi Akahoshi Kazuyo Oishi Kiyoshi Aoyagi Journal of Physiological Anthropology 2014, null:32 2014-10-29T00:00:00Z doi:10.1186/1880-6805-33-32 /content/figures/1880-6805-33-32-toc.gif Journal of Physiological Anthropology 1880-6805 ${item.volume} 32 2014-10-29T00:00:00Z XML Validity of an algorithm for determining sleep/wake states using a new actigraph Background: This study aimed to develop an algorithm for determining sleep/wake states by using chronological data on the amount of physical activity (activity intensity) measured with the FS-750 actigraph, a device that can be worn at the waist, allows for its data to be downloaded at home, and is suitable for use in both sleep research and remote sleep medicine. Methods: Participants were 34 healthy young adults randomly assigned to two groups, A (n =17) and B (n =17), who underwent an 8-hour polysomnography (PSG) in the laboratory environment. Simultaneous activity data were obtained using the FS-750 attached at the front waist. Sleep/wake state and activity intensity were calculated every 2 minutes (1 epoch). To determine the central epoch of the sleep/wake states (x), a five-variable linear model was developed using the activity intensity of Group A for five epochs (x -2, x -1, x, x +1, x +2; 10 minutes). The optimal coefficients were calculated using discriminant analysis. The agreement rate of the developed algorithm was then retested with Group B, and its validity was examined. Results: The overall agreement rates for group A and group B calculated using the sleep/wake score algorithm developed were 84.7% and 85.4%, respectively. Mean sensitivity (agreement rate for sleep state) was 88.3% and 90.0% and mean specificity (agreement rate for wakeful state) was 66.0% and 64.9%, respectively. These results confirmed comparable agreement rates between the two groups. Furthermore, when applying an estimation rule developed for the sleep parameters measured by the FS-750, no differences were found in the average values between the calculated scores and PSG results, and we also observed a correlation between the two sets of results. Thus, the validity of these evaluation indices based on measurements from the FS-750 is confirmed. Conclusions: The developed algorithm could determine sleep/wake states from activity intensity data obtained with the FS-750 with sensitivity and specificity equivalent to that determined with conventional actigraphs. The FS-750, which is smaller, less expensive, and able to take measurements over longer periods than conventional devices, is a promising tool for advancing sleep studies at home and in remote sleep medicine. http://www.jphysiolanthropol.com/content/33/1/31 Kyoko Nakazaki Shingo Kitamura Yuki Motomura Akiko Hida Yuichi Kamei Naoki Miura Kazuo Mishima Journal of Physiological Anthropology 2014, null:31 2014-10-04T00:00:00Z doi:10.1186/1880-6805-33-31 /content/figures/1880-6805-33-31-toc.gif Journal of Physiological Anthropology 1880-6805 ${item.volume} 31 2014-10-04T00:00:00Z XML Effect of maturation on muscle quality of the lower limb muscles in adolescent boys Background: The purpose of this study was to clarify the effect of maturation on the muscle quality of the lower limb muscles around puberty. Methods: Subjects were 117 Japanese boys age 12 to 15 years. The maturity status was assessed by using a self-assessment of stage of pubic hair development based on the criteria of Tanner. On the basis of the criteria, subjects were divided into the prepubescent or pubescent group. Muscle thickness of knee extensors and plantar flexors were measured by a B-mode ultrasound. Muscle volume index (MV) was calculated from muscle thickness and limb length. Maximal voluntary isometric joint toques (TQ) of knee extension and ankle plantar flexion were measured using a myometer. Muscle quality was derived from dividing TQ by MV (TQ/MV). Results: In both muscles, TQ-MV relationships were also similar between the prepubescent and pubescent groups, and there was no significant difference in TQ/MV between the two groups when chronological age was statistically adjusted. Conclusion: The current results indicate that, for adolescent boys, the muscle quality of the lower limb muscles is not significantly influenced by maturation. http://www.jphysiolanthropol.com/content/33/1/30 Yuko Fukunaga Yohei Takai Takaya Yoshimoto Eiji Fujita Masayoshi Yamamoto Hiroaki Kanehisa Journal of Physiological Anthropology 2014, null:30 2014-09-19T00:00:00Z doi:10.1186/1880-6805-33-30 /content/figures/1880-6805-33-30-toc.gif Journal of Physiological Anthropology 1880-6805 ${item.volume} 30 2014-09-19T00:00:00Z XML Measurement of body composition in response to a short period of overfeeding Background: Obesity and overweight are increasing in prevalence in developed countries as a result of changing dietary habits and a lack of physical activity. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the changes in body composition during short-term overfeeding using the three-component model, which is composed of fat mass (FM), total body water (TBW), and fat-free dry solids (FFDS). Methods: Ten healthy men completed 3 days of overfeeding during which they consumed 1,500 kcal/day more energy than consumed in their normal diets. Body composition was evaluated at three time points: the day before and after their normal diets and the day after the 3-day overfeeding diet. Results: Before and after their normal diets, there were no significant differences in body weight and composition, but after 3 days of overfeeding, body weight, TBW, and FFDS increased 0.7, 0.7, and 0.2 kg, respectively (P <0.0001). There was no significant difference in FM between the normal and overfeeding diets. Conclusion: This study suggests that TBW gain contributes to weight gain following a short-term overfeeding. http://www.jphysiolanthropol.com/content/33/1/29 Hiroyuki Sagayama Yu Jikumaru Akiko Hirata Yosuke Yamada Eiichi Yoshimura Mamiko Ichikawa Yoichi Hatamoto Naoyuki Ebine Akira Kiyonaga Hiroaki Tanaka Yasuki Higaki Journal of Physiological Anthropology 2014, null:29 2014-09-10T00:00:00Z doi:10.1186/1880-6805-33-29 /content/figures/1880-6805-33-29-toc.gif Journal of Physiological Anthropology 1880-6805 ${item.volume} 29 2014-09-10T00:00:00Z XML The effect of wearing sanitary napkins of different thicknesses on physiological and psychological responses in Muslim females Background: Menstruation is associated with significant unpleasantness, and wearing a sanitary napkin (SN) during menses causes discomfort. In addition, many Muslim women use a thick type of SN during menses due to the religious requirement that even disposable SNs be washed before disposal. Therefore, the objective of this study was to measure the physiological and psychological responses to wearing SNs of different thicknesses during menstruation and non-menstruation phases at rest and during physical activity/exercise among Muslim women. Methods: Eighteen Muslim females were randomly assigned to wear an ultra slim type (US, thin) or a maxi type (MT, thick) SN on two different occasions (i.e., during non-menses and menses). Each subject tested both types of SN. Upon arriving at the laboratory, each subject was equipped with an ambulatory electrocardiograph and rested in a seated position for 10 min. She was then given either an US or MT SN, put it in place, and rested in a seated position for 10 min. Each subject then walked at 3 km/h for 10 min, sat resting for 10 min, and then walked at 5 km/h for another 10 min. At the end of each 10-min stage, subjects marked their feelings of discomfort on the visual analog scale (VAS). Perceived exertion during exercise was evaluated using the Borg scale. Heart rate and low frequency-to-high frequency ratio (LF/HF) of heart rate variability were continuously recorded during rest and exercise. Results: During both the non-menses and menses trials, VAS and LF/HF were significantly lower in subjects using the US SN compared to the MT SN. These results indicate that when wearing the US SN, subjects were more comfortable and did not increase sympathetic activities. Meanwhile, perceived exertion during exercise had no significant difference between US and MT although the means of the scores for US tended to be lower than those of MT. Conclusions: The results of this study (VAS and LF/HF) indicate that wearing an US SN induces less physiological and psychological stress compared to wearing a MT SN. Thus, use of the former will empower women to live their lives with vitality during menses. http://www.jphysiolanthropol.com/content/33/1/28 Nazirah Mohamed Nurdiana Abidin Kim Law Mika Abe Megumi Suzuki Ahmad M Muhamed Rabindarjeet Singh Journal of Physiological Anthropology 2014, null:28 2014-09-04T00:00:00Z doi:10.1186/1880-6805-33-28 /content/figures/1880-6805-33-28-toc.gif Journal of Physiological Anthropology 1880-6805 ${item.volume} 28 2014-09-04T00:00:00Z XML Relationship between mitochondrial haplogroup and seasonal changes of physiological responses to cold Background: Physiological responses to cold exhibit individual variation that can be affected by various factors, such as morphological characteristics, seasonal changes, and lifestyle; however, the genetic factors associated with this variation remain unclear. Recent studies have identified mtDNA as a potential genetic factor affecting cold adaptation. In addition, non-shivering thermogenesis (NST), a process closely related to mitochondrial dynamics, has also been suggested as an important factor affecting human response to cold. The present study aimed to clarify the relationship between mitochondrial haplogroup and NST during periods of mild cold exposure. Methods: Seventeen healthy university students (D: n = 8, non-D: n = 9) participated in the present study during summer and winter. A climate chamber was programmed so that ambient temperature inside dropped from 28°C to 16°C over the course of an 80-minute period. Physiological parameters were recorded throughout the course of the experiments. Results: Increases in VO2 were significantly greater during periods of cold exposure in winter than they were during periods of cold exposure in summer, and individuals from the D group exhibited greater winter values of ΔVO2 than individuals from the non-D group.Tre was significantly lower during periods of rest and cold exposure in winter; however, no significant difference was observed between Tre values of individuals in the D and non-D groups. In addition, although T ¯ dist was significantly lower during periods of rest in winter than it was during those same periods in summer, no significant seasonal differences in values of T ¯ dist were observed during periods of cold exposure. Conclusions: Results of the present study indicated that NST was greater in winter, and that the D group exhibited greater NST than the non-D group during winter. Despite the differences between groups in NST, no significant differences in rectal and skin temperatures were found between groups in either season. Therefore, it was supposed that mitochondrial DNA haplogroups had a greater effect on variation in energy expenditure involving NST than they had on insulative responses. Future studies are necessary in order to investigate more multiple candidate genes related to human cold adaptation and to elucidate the relationship between gene polymorphism and physiological polytypism. http://www.jphysiolanthropol.com/content/33/1/27 Takayuki Nishimura Shigeki Watanuki Journal of Physiological Anthropology 2014, null:27 2014-09-03T00:00:00Z doi:10.1186/1880-6805-33-27 /content/figures/1880-6805-33-27-toc.gif Journal of Physiological Anthropology 1880-6805 ${item.volume} 27 2014-09-03T00:00:00Z XML Age-related change in sit-to-stand power in Japanese women aged 50 years or older Background: This study examined whether the age-related change in power, calculated from the score of a sit-to-stand (STS) test, corresponds to those in knee extension torque and leg lean tissue mass in Japanese women aged 50 years or older.FindingsTime for a 10-times-repeated STS test and knee extension torque were determined in 556 Japanese women aged 50 to 94 years. STS power was calculated using an equation reported previously. In addition, leg lean tissue mass was estimated using muscle thicknesses determined at thigh and lower leg. STS power, knee extension torque, and lean tissue mass were negatively correlated to age. STS power and knee extension torque, expressed as the percentages of the mean value of the corresponding variable for the subjects aged 50 to 54 years were lower than that of lean tissue mass in the subjects aged 60 years or over, and were similar in those aged under 75 years. However, the relative value of STS power was lower than that of knee extension torque in the subjects aged over 75 years. Conclusions: In Japanese women aged 50 to 74 years, STS power can be a convenient measure for assessing the age-related decline in knee extension torque, but not for leg lean tissue mass. At over 75 years old, the magnitude of the age-related decline in STS power does not parallel to that in the force generation capability of knee extensor muscles. http://www.jphysiolanthropol.com/content/33/1/26 Hiroaki Kanehisa Tetsuo Fukunaga Journal of Physiological Anthropology 2014, null:26 2014-08-16T00:00:00Z doi:10.1186/1880-6805-33-26 /content/figures/1880-6805-33-26-toc.gif Journal of Physiological Anthropology 1880-6805 ${item.volume} 26 2014-08-16T00:00:00Z XML Dominant side in single-leg stance stability during floor oscillations at various frequencies Background: We investigated lateral dominance in the postural stability of single-leg stance with anteroposterior floor oscillations at various frequencies. Methods: Thirty adults maintained a single-leg stance on a force platform for 20 seconds per trial. Trials were performed with no oscillation (static condition) and with anteroposterior floor oscillations (2.5-cm amplitude) at six frequencies: 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.25 and 1.5 Hz (dynamic condition). A set of three trials was performed on each leg in each oscillation frequency in random order. The mean speed of the center of pressure in the anteroposterior direction (CoPap) was calculated as an index of postural stability, and frequency analysis of CoPap sway was performed. Footedness for carrying out mobilizing activities was assessed with a questionnaire. Results: CoPap speed exponentially increased as oscillation frequency increased in both legs. The frequency analysis of CoPap showed a peak <0.3 Hz at no oscillation. The frequency components at 0.25-Hz oscillation included common components with no oscillation and those at 1.5-Hz oscillation showed the maximum amplitude among all conditions. Postural stability showed no significant difference between left- and right-leg stance at no oscillation and oscillations ≤1.25 Hz, but at 1.5-Hz oscillation was significantly higher in the right-leg stance than in the left-leg stance. For the lateral dominance of postural stability at individual levels, the lateral difference in postural stability at no oscillation was positively correlated with that at 0.25-Hz oscillation (r = 0.51) and negatively correlated with that at 1.5-Hz oscillation (r = -0.53). For 70% of subjects, the dominant side of postural stability was different at no oscillation and 1.5-Hz oscillation. In the subjects with left- or right-side dominance at no oscillation, 94% or 38% changed their dominant side at 1.5-Hz oscillation, with a significant difference between these percentages. In the 1.5-Hz oscillation, 73% of subjects had concordance between the dominant side of postural stability and that of mobilizing footedness. Conclusion: In static conditions, there was no lateral dominance of stability during single-leg stance. At 1.5-Hz oscillation, the highest frequency, right-side dominance of postural stability was recognized. Functional role in supporting leg may be divided between left and right legs according to the change of balance condition from static to dynamic. http://www.jphysiolanthropol.com/content/33/1/25 Takeo Kiyota Katsuo Fujiwara Journal of Physiological Anthropology 2014, null:25 2014-08-15T00:00:00Z doi:10.1186/1880-6805-33-25 Footedness for dynamic balance During single-leg stance on a stable floor, there was no clear lateral dominance of the postural stability. Under the same posture on an oscillatory floor, however, the right-side dominance of postural stability was recognized. Functional role in dominance leg is discussed. /content/figures/1880-6805-33-25-toc.gif Journal of Physiological Anthropology 1880-6805 ${item.volume} 25 2014-08-15T00:00:00Z XML

Psych! NBA, NBPA end meetings, will resume Monday
Oct 10, 2011, 1:09 AM EST
The NBA and NBPA met for five-plus hours Sunday night and all they have to show for it is another meeting.
After being faced with the very real possibility of losing games in a cancellation announcement expected Monday, the two sides reportedly did not discuss BRI, the biggest issue between them, did not reach much progress according to Derek Fisher, and definitely did not close a deal. But the good news is that they did agree to meet Monday afternoon, with Billy Hunter and Derek Fisher cancelling planned flights to LA for an NBPA meeting Monday.
Both sides refuse to move on BRI it seems with the players holding at 53 percent and the league refusing to go above 50. Even though the split makes a tremendous amount of financial sense, neither side would apparently touch the issue in the most important meeting to date.
So we wait another day, to see if tomorrow is the day that common sense comes calling or if egos continue to run the game. But after a five-hour meeting that didn't address the biggest issue and still netted little progress, the clouds continue to darken over the start of the season. The rain comes tomorrow.

Builder or mob boss?
Burlington's Daniel Gasbarrini, who died this week at 93, was something of an enigma.
He didn't deny his crimes; with convictions for gambling, theft, and drugs, and a seven-year stint in federal prison. He couldn't very well pretend they never happened. But Gasbarrini insisted that was all in his past.
OBITUARY: Daniel Gasbarrini dies at 93
Not being acceptable at most clubs, we play at Burlington Springs
Daniel Gasbarrini
Explaining just where he and the late mob boss Johnny Papalia played golf together
And indeed, all of the reputed organized crime kingpin's convictions happened before he hit the age of 30.
"How long am I supposed to keep paying (for my crimes)?" an exasperated Gasbarrini, 49, asked a reporter in 1970, saying the bad publicity was ruining him and his businesses.
"These remarks in the press and the legislature have practically ruined me," Gasbarrini said.
Maybe. But maybe it was the company he kept.
Gasbarrini married the daughter of Tony Sylvestro, one of three Mafia dons who took over loansharking, gambling and narcotics across southern Ontario after Rocco Perri disappeared and his lieutenants were murdered.
Worse, there was the lifelong relationship he kept with Mafia boss Johnny Papalia. The pair went to school together in the North End, their fathers had similar criminal pasts, and the two forged a friendship.
That friendship included opening an illegal gambling house, The Porcupine Miners Club, with Papalia on John Street, two blocks from police headquarters shortly after Gasbarrini was released from prison in 1955. (It lasted for two years before the police "stopped looking the other way," Gasbarrini remembered.)
Keep alive a lifelong friendship with a man convicted in the infamous French Connection heroin smuggling plot, a man known for drug smuggling, gambling rackets, extortion, and even murder, and people will talk.
And talk they did. There was the 1963 testimony at the U.S. Senate crime investigations subcommittee hearing that identified Gasbarrini as father-in-law Sylvestro's likely successor and named him a key member of Canadian organized crime.
Back in Canada, he was identified as a suspected member of organized crime at the 1964 Ontario Police Commission hearings. Six years later, he was called "a kingpin in the Mafia in this country" by Ontario MPP Mort Shulman in a speech that led to a judicial inquiry. That inquiry probed connections between Gasbarrini, Papalia, Burlington businessman Clinton Duke, and senior Ontario Provincial Police officers.
At that inquiry, which dominated the news for months, Gasbarrini described himself as a businessman, a developer of apartment buildings and an entrepreneur. He denied doing any business with Papalia (including the gambling club 15 years earlier) and said they played golf together, often.
"Not being acceptable at most clubs, we play at Burlington Springs," he told inquiry lawyer J.J. Robinette.
His friend Papalia died at 73, shot in the head on a city street by a hit man who said he was hired by two other mobsters — Angelo and Pat Musitano — who figured it would be cheaper to pay the hitman than cover their $200,000 debt to Papalia. (The pair pleaded guilty to conspiring to murder, not Papalia, but his lieutenant, Carmen Barillaro, who the hit man gunned down two months after Papalia.)
Gasbarrini lived to be 93. He bought property and built buildings in Hamilton, Oakville, Burlington and Niagara. With Lee, his wife of 53 years, he raised a family that includes three children, seven grandchildren and six great grandchildren.
Visitation for Gasbarrini is set for Saturday and Sunday afternoon and evenings at Smith's Funeral Home on Guelph Line in Burlington. A funeral mass is slated for Monday at Holy Rosary Church on Plains Road in Burlington.

College News
Fisher Teams Up with Healthcare Partners at Training Camp
Every day during Bills Training Camp at St. John Fisher College, students and staff from the Wegmans School of Nursing will be offering blood pressure screenings as part of the Greater Rochester Hypertension Initiative. A community-wide group consisting of the Rochester Business Alliance, the Finger Lakes Health Systems Agency, and Fisher has joined forces to raise awareness of hypertension, diet and nutrition, and healthy habits.
Two blood pressure screening stations have been set up in the merchandise tent at the entrance of training camp. After each screening, the "Blood Pressure Ambassadors" will interpret the results for the individuals, offer them pamphlets regarding blood pressure control and healthy eating, and recommend any appropriate follow-up.
Dr. Dianne Cooney Miner, Dean of the Wegmans School of Nursing and Chair of the Blood Pressure Community Engagement Initiative, has helped organize similar screenings in barber shops, beauty parlors, and community centers in the city, in an effort to be "where the people are." It was the success of this experience that prompted Dr. Miner to set up the operation at training camp.

CUA Opera to Present Gounod's ROMEO ET JULIETTE, 3/14-17
One of the most well-known operatic adaptations of a classic tale by William Shakespeare will be performed by the vocal division at The Catholic University of America's Benjamin T. Rome School of Music, March 14 to 17.
"Romeo et Juliette," French composer Charles Gounod's operatic interpretation of literature's most famous star-crossed lovers, will be sung in the original French at Hartke Theatre on the campus of Catholic University. The opera in five acts premiered in Paris in 1867.
"There are no gimmicks or tricks in the staging," said director David Carl Toulson. "What I'm trying to do is tell the operatic version of the story of Romeo and Juliet in as clear a way as possible and really highlight the beauty of this quintessential couple."
Toulson is a prominent opera stage director who has worked with Catholic University before, most recently in last year's production of Puccini's "Madama Butterfly." For Toulson, the impact of the show lies in the contrast between the beauty of the music and the love of the young couple, and the tragedy of their death.
Toulson said some of the principal ideas in the opera for him are predestination and love at first sight, themes that are often disregarded by modern audiences. "My feeling is, if Romeo and Juliet didn't meet on the day they met, the story would have happened anyway and the same set of circumstances would have played themselves out a week later or a month later," Toulson said.
This is not the first opera in French presented by the music school, according to Rick Christman, assistant clinical professor of voice. In recent years, the school has performed Poulanc's "La Voix Humaine" and "Dialogue of the Carmelites." However, both were shorter, one-act operas, and "Romeo et Juliette" represents the school's first effort at a full-scale French grand opera.

Why should I vote for someone I don't like just to prevent someone I like even less from winning?
If someone says I'm a spoiler, I say: How can you spoil something that's already rotten?
If someone says we should have public financing for elections, I say: Why should I be forced to pay to promote a candidate that I would never vote for?
Somehow it always shuts them up...for a little while at least!

How to Make Your Own Vegan Buttermilk Recipe - Only 2 Ingredients!
makes 250ml
230ml soy milk
20ml fresh lemon juice
- In a jug or bowl, add the soymilk and the lemon juice.
- Whisk and allow to sit for 10 minutes or so until thickened.
- Enjoy your easy, quick and delicious vegan buttermilk!
- If you are substituting this buttermilk in a recipe, it may alter the balance of the baking powder or baking soda if the recipe calls for it. Goodbaker.com suggests reducing the baking powder by 1 teaspoon and replacing it with 1/4 teaspoon baking soda for each cup of buttermilk used.
- Soy milk is needed to make vegan buttermilk due to its high protein content. This allows the lemon juice to effectively curdle the soy milk leading to it thickening. Other plant based milks may not work.

Considering Compensation
Qualify for a free subscription to HealthLeaders magazine.
Michael Ugwueke
Executive vice president and COO
Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare
Memphis, Tenn.
On incentives. Incentive compensation works. Many organizations have different philosophies about where they set their base pay slightly below the median. But to really engage folks, more should be done on the incentive compensation side to change the behavior and make people really earn it for remarkable work, not just making the averages.
On margins. The margins are getting a little tighter for hospitals, and the IRS and the media and everybody is looking at executive compensation. When people earn through incentives it makes everybody more aware, and working more together as a team because their incentives are tied together. As margins get smaller, we will see more of this.
On improvements. But those incentives have to be tied to remarkable improvements, not just marginal improvements based on quality metrics such as reductions in length of stay and improvements in patient satisfaction. I would suspect that in the next two or three years we will see some specific things coming out along those lines.

Album review: David Lang, Death Speaks (Cantaloupe)
Andy Gill
Andy Gill is The Independent's Music Critic.
Friday 21 June 2013
Just as his Little Match Girl Passion employed a palimpsest of Bach texts, so David Lang's five-song suite Death Speaks derives directly from Schubert lieder, reconstituting proclamations in a manner which allows Death to talk directly to us in a variety of guises all sung in a fittingly pale, deathly timbre by Shara Worden over delicately dramatic settings of guitar, piano and violin produced by The National's Bryce Dessner.
A strangely beautiful piece which manages to be both comforting and chilling, it's accompanied here by Lang's earlier death-themed "Depart". The susurrus of wordless vocal tones bears comparison with Feldman's "Rothko Chapel", another site-specific installation of profoundly comforting, meditative texture.

Louisiana Caucus this Saturday – April 28th. The most important action a Ron Paul supporter can do – is to come out and vote!Submitted by kcop on Wed, 04/25/2012 - 09:48
If you are a registered republican in Louisiana State please visit the GOP website (http://lagop.com/) and find out where your caucus is and go vote for Ron Paul delegates this Saturday. There are 30 locations and voting will be conducted between 8:30 a.m. and 12:00 noon. Each location will have a Ron Paul group who will inform you which delegates to vote for. Please note all you have to do is show up, find out who are the Ron Paul delegates, vote, and then you can leave. It is not a four-hour event.
Please, please make the effort and come out and vote. We can talk about Ron Paul, we can donate to Ron Paul, but the most important thing we can do is go vote for Ron Paul. This is how we win – it is about getting delegates to the national convention. We have a tough battle in this State as there is a coalition formed to stop Ron Paul delegates from being elected – so it is about numbers and who can bring out people to go vote. Please get the word out and bring friends. If this thread could be posted up until Saturday that would be great. Anyone with any questions can call the Ron Paul headquarters in Baton Rouge at (225) 532-3063.

Bump for my Cajun Friends.
Go to the caucus and pass a good time. I will be at a benefit for the colon rectal cancer foundation at 8:00am till 8:30 supporting my wife and her giving a talk to the many about what she went through this last year. This is a big deal here in Baton Rouge. This is a big deal for my wife. She is very scared. I just wish she could be talking for NATURAL REMEDIES.
After that I will ride 28 miles to the parish we have to vote for the proper slate and elect Paul delegates. Then I will return to my bike shop until 3:00 pm.
From there I will go to a bike club meeting for the BMW Riders of Alabama club, being held in Louisiana to have boiled crawfish, and plenty of alcohol(LoL!).
The Alabama club holds a rally(called the Chicken Rally) every year on Memorial Day. Funny thing is they have MANY Louisiana members. If you ride don't miss the chicken rally. It is really great fun.
Okay, I wrote a lot just to tell you I will be doing my part tomorrow. I also will have my family do the same.

No - this election there are
No - this election there are no bound delegates. Santorum won the popular vote and I believe has a few "pledged" delegates awarded, but he is out of the race. Tomorrow's delegates are all free to vote for whomever - and that is why we want Ron Paul delegates to be elected by having people come out and vote for them tomorrow.
I didn't know tbat - please Louisiana Paul supporters, get out there tomorrow, and try not to let the establishment steam roll you!
Sorry - Bump

Louisiana Caucus!
About the process
For those of you confused about the process in LA (as I was), here's the deal: LA has 46 delegates. 20 of them are handed out based on the primary results: proportionally to all candidates who got 25%+ of the vote. The green papers is saying 10 to Santorum, 5 to Romney. The other 26 delegates are selected through a caucus process: District this weekend, and State in June.
What I'm not sure about (maybe the OP can help me out) is whether the District caucuses this weekend elect national delegates directly, or only elect delegates to the State convention, who then elect the national delegates...?
Either way, the point (if this rambling post has one) is that the caucus in LA this weekend is more important than the primary was. Get out and caucus Louisianans!
"Alas! I believe in the virtue of birds. And it only takes a feather for me to die laughing."
To State
I'll be there tomorrow!

Thanks for adding to the
Thanks for adding to the understanding of LA delegate process. My understanding is that this is the first tier to becoming a national delegate. From this pool of delegates State delegates will be elected and from that pool national delegates. So we need a majority to keep voting our "guys" in and yes it is more important then the primary.
Ok, thanks for the info

Folks please listen to what Matt Larson has to say!
Please folks get on the phone from Home Campaign and call existing RP supporters in Louisiana and make sure they show up to vote in the Caucus system to elect delegates. We can win LA if we all make an effort to help out by making calls to these folks as some people believe the vote is over when they held their primary, but this is when we need to take action.
The link to call from home is below-
All you have to do is pick up the phone...it is automated and
pretty fun, really. I got 2 converts in about an hour yesterday when calling Louisiana.
The people there were for Santorum and they are very undecided about what to do . There is so much misunderstanding about Ron Paul.
The people I talked to were eager to the news of a Christian
candidate to support.

Gun threat at Manchester library prompts call to police
No weapon was shown and no one was hurt in the incident that happened about noon at the 405 Pine St. main library, van Zanten said. The man left on his own with few, if any, other patrons aware of what happened.
Officers arrived to find the man driving away in a car, which they pulled over about four blocks away.
Police did not charge the man because a verbal threat not witnessed by police is a misdemeanor-level offense, Tessier said. Should police press charges, they would obtain an arrest warrant, she said.
The patron was upset "because he could not make a transaction without his library card," Tessier said.
"I don't think this was aimed at any particular staff member," she added.
The patron was ordered to not trespass at either the main library or the West Side branch, van Zanten said.
"My staff is well trained in security measures and they did exactly what they were supposed to do...I'm very proud of them," van Zanten said.
