Gwinnett Scholars Visit Air Traffic Tower For Lesson On Communication
Fifteen Ivy Preparatory Academy scholars visited the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport recently to observe the importance of effective communications in the offices of a federal air traffic control tower.
The field trip to the Federal Aviation Administration ended an enrichment unit on the dynamics of good communication
that gave students tips on expressing themselves whether they are interviewing for a job, speaking in a classroom, or
working in a group. Scholars who excelled in the lessons were invited to the airport for a behind-the-scenes look at
communications on the job for air traffic controllers.
"When we thought about a place where effective communication is key and critical, we decided to take them
to see the airport's air traffic control tower," said Joy Treadwell, principal of Ivy Prep Gwinnett. "These are life-
saving jobs. Air traffic controllers communicate with pilots and help them to take off and land safely. We talked about the communication tools and the language they use."
Scholars toured the tower, which is the largest in North America. From their view nearly 400 feet above the airport,
they could see the Atlanta skyline, planes flying, and luggage moving on carts.
"The view was stunning," said Jedidah Titus, a seventh grader at Ivy Prep. "You could see so many airplanes. We learned that communication was extremely vital for the safety of planes and their passengers. When pilots fly to a destination, they talk to air traffic control in every city on the way to that destination."
Scholars observed the work of air traffic controllers and talked to employees about their jobs, including a female manager.
"They got to see that very few women work as air traffic controllers," Treadwell said. "They asked the women that were
there what it is like working in a male-dominated career."
The experience made seventh grader Asia Aaron begin to rethink her decision to be a veterinarian.
"It was awesome," she said. "I loved seeing the planes up close. People were busy talking to pilots. It was exciting. It really made an impact on me."
Emma Fruge, an eighth grader, said she enjoyed being around the planes so much that she hoped she could "fit it in her career" if possible. Fruge wants to be a fashion designer. "I asked about flight attendants and how much the make," she said. "They earn about $40,000 and get to fly to great places."
The enrichment study for all scholars at Ivy Prep Gwinnett will continue with lessons on leadership and civic engagement next. The program is supported by curriculum from Stanford University's Youth Engaged in Leadership and Learning (YELL), which trains students to become community leaders.
"This enrichment program is a personal passion of mine," Treadwell said. "It allows us to create a shared vision of what leadership looks like and to also focus on values."

Seven years ago, Brittany Gilbert was the first sixth grader to enroll in Ivy Preparatory Academy, Georgia's first single-gender public charter school. Now, as a senior at Ivy Prep, Gilbert has achieved another milestone. She is the first to be accepted to college.
Gilbert, 17, was accepted to Hampton University, her top college choice, recently during Steve Harvey's Neighborhood Awards
Expo at the Georgia World Congress Center. Hampton University admissions officials recruiting students at the Expo's College Fair interviewed Gilbert, looked over her application and transcripts, and gave her a letter of acceptance to take home with her.

It has been a busy week in Canuckistan. On Sunday, the team hosted super-skills, and a curious twitter controversy erupted over media independence; on Monday – Gillis acquired reinforcements just before the deadline; on Tuesday – ghastly superimposed ads appeared behind the glass – sending fans into paroxysms of general annoyance. Ironically, the least exciting part of last week was Tuesday nights game...

Canucks take on former teammate and Roxy Hall-of-Famer Shane O'Brien
Game Day Recon #65 - Predators @ Canucks
The Vancouver Canucks have hit a pretty big lull in their play. They've alternated wins and losses in 11 straight games. They've looked disinterested in many of those games, even those that they've won. They're having difficulties scoring. Luckily for the Canucks, they built up a cushion at the top of the conference such that they can weather this storm.
The Canucks face the Nashville Predators tonight, a team facing a similar swoon and scoring problems of late.
The difference? The Preds are picking the wrong time to falter, as they begin the fight for a playoff spot in the tight Western Conference.

Game Day Recon #64 - Blue Jackets @ Canucks
The Vancouver Canucks need to keep an unfortunate streak going, as they look to get back in the win column. The Canucks have traded wins and losses for 10 games, and are currently on the down swing. However, the Canucks hope that at least one of the their trade deadline acquisitions will inject some life and spark into the lineup right away.
The Canucks at the Deadline
Thomas Drance
February 28 2011 07:42PM
Gillis at the Deadline:
This wasn't Mike Gillis' first trade deadline as an NHL GM, but it was certainly his most revealing. In 2009, Gillis stood pat – Sundin had been his big midseason acquisition and Gillis was still restocking a feeder system left atrophied by the Burke/Nonis regime. (*) In 2010, Gillis had more pieces to play with; early in the day he moved disgruntled former client Mathieu Schneider, and swapped AHLers with St. Louis. In his biggest splash of the day – the word "splash" being applied generously in this case – Gillis exchanged a third rounder with Jim Rutherford for Andrew Alberts right at the deadline. Though it's a small sample size, there is a pattern that corroborates two things Gillis often reiterates to fans and the media – he prefers not to make large deals at the trade deadline, though he is comfortable waiting to the last minute, or as he ironically calls it: "working to a deadline."

CHARLOTTE COUNTY, Fla. - Charlotte County Sheriff's Office warns residents to be aware of a new scam in the area that caused an 87 year old Charlotte Harbor woman to have $1,000 cash stolen from her home Tuesday afternoon.
The woman and her sister who live in the 22000 block of Bayshore Road said about 2:40 p.m. a Hispanic male knocked on her door and said he worked for a local roofing company. He said they repaired her roof several years ago and needed to look at her roof to possibly replace a faulty vent. The woman and her sister both went outside to the rear of their house with the man, leaving the front door unlocked, as he pointed to the area in question on her roof.
The elderly woman became suspicious and went back into her home. She found three empty bank envelopes in her bedroom and then went back outside to talk to the man and her sister, only to find that the man left in a white pickup. She called CCSO and a deputy responded; a BOLO was issued for the truck and the Hispanic male described as about 30 years old, short black hair, dressed in blue jeans, white tee shirt and new white sneakers. Apparently while the man got the two women out of the unlocked house, an accomplice went into the home and stole the cash. Detectives say a similar case was reported in North Port.

Dwarf Gladioli Mixed - Tuber
Ordering options
Plant the corms of Gladiolus nanus mixed 7 to 10 cm deep and 10 to 12 cm apart in well-drained soil. Before planting, prepare a hole, loosen the soil and cover with a layer of sharp sand, this will help the drainage of the water. Poor soil can be improved by adding garden fertilizer. These mixed Gladiolus nanus enjoy a spot in full sun protected from strong winds.Combine Dwarf Gladioli
Our Dwarf Gladioli Mixed are in splendid mixed colours. You will discover white, pink and red flowers in the mixture. The white dwarf gladioli are marked with a red pattern. Add them to the border, mixed with dahlias in similar colours and create a colourful patch. These gladioli are also perfect as cut flowers.
The rich flowering Dwarf Gladioli Mixed are splendid for cutting. Each flower petal has beautiful markings. Dwarf Gladioli last remarkably long in a vase, therefore make sure you have groups of these gladioli in the garden. Pick the flowers when the lowest bud is open and preferably early in the morning. Remove the lower leaves and place the stems immediately in a large vase of lukewarm water with cut flower food. Thanks to the firm stems, dwarf gladioli are also suitable for using with floral foam. A tip: Plant extra groups two weeks later and this will extend the flowering period in your flower garden.
As the flower buds of the dwarf gladioli begin to develop you can start to apply a fertilizer along with water on a regular basis. Three weeks after flowering you can stop fertilizing. If the flower heads become heavy it is advisable to stake them to keep them upright. Each year it is better to choose a different planting place for the gladioli.

Guestbook comments from the owner
The cottage was everything we expected and more. It has everything you could want in a holiday home. I would recommend it highly. We really enjoyed our stay so much we discussed coming back in the winter sitting in front of the fire having a glass of wine.
We ate in the Gladstone 3 nights with friends who joined us and everybody enjoyed their meals. I would hope to return at some time in the future.

- Studio: New Line Cinema
- Release Date: Dec 19, 2001
- Starring: Andy Serkis, Elijah Wood
- Summary: An epic adventure of good against evil, a story of the power of friendship and individual courage, and the heroic quest to pave the way for the emergence of mankind, J.R.R. Tolkien's master work brought to cinematic life. (New Line Cinema)
- Director: Peter Jackson
- Genre(s): Action, Adventure, Fantasy
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 33 out of 34
Mixed: 1 out of 34
Negative: 0 out of 34
The film is a virtuosic triumph, but parlor tricks don't make movies, and it's Jackson's unwavering sincerity that elevates The Fellowship of the Ring into the increasingly rare Valhalla of the rousing, well-told tale.
Jackson surpasses the expectations anyone might have had for him with The Fellowship of the Ring, the first installment of his trilogy devoted to J.R.R. Tolkien's masterwork.
So consistently involving because the excellent cast delivers their lines with the kind of utter conviction not seen in this kind of movie since the first "Star Wars."
The film's single downside is a certain nagging sense of deja vu: the fact that so many of the elements of the story -- the dark force, the all-empowering object, etc. -- have been usurped over the years (by "Star Wars" and others) that you feel as if you've been down this road many, many times before.
Consistently beautiful and often exciting -- despite some dead passages here and there, it's surely the best big-budget fantasy movie in years. [24 & 31 Dec 2001, p. 126]
Smashing for much of the way; as a piece of fantasy moviemaking, franchise-style, it beats the bejesus out of "Harry Potter."
It's full of scenic splendors with a fine sense of scale, but its narrative thrust seems relatively pro forma, and I was bored by the battle scenes.
Score distribution:
Positive: 333 out of 376
Mixed: 11 out of 376
Negative: 32 out of 376

You can now edit your dumb Facebook comments
That dumb comment you made on Facebook can now be edited rather than deleted. Grammar Nazis rejoice.
We all say things we shouldn't say from time to time, and the more anally retentive of us then spends hours, days, or even weeks wishing we could take it back. But once said, always said, at least in real-life. That isn't the case on social networks, however, which allows you to edit comments to your heart's content.
The wasteland that is Google+ started this trend, and now Facebook is joining them. It's actually been possible to edit Facebook comments for around a year now, but only for 30 seconds after posting. At that point the comment became locked, with your poor spelling and grammar, or inanity and dumbness, remaining on the site for ever more. There was the option to delete the comment instead, but that's somewhat underhanded.
Now, according to The Next Web, Facebook has embraced more editing options, with the 30-second time limit being dropped. Anyone can now edit their Facebook comments to their heart's content, even retrospectively years after they first went live on the site. Unlike Google+, this only applies to comments and not full-fledged status updates, which remain (for the time being at least) static once posted.
This isn't quite the get-out-of-prison card you may be hoping for though. If you edit a comment, an 'Edited' note is added underneath it to tell the whole world you've been fine-tuning your words. If anyone clicks on 'Edited' they'll see a full transcript of the edits made to that particular comment. So it would still be preferable to get it right the first time.
This move by Facebook has elicited cries that Zuckerberg and co. have just started copying from Google+ rather than innovating. Perhaps they have with this one feature, but Google+ owes a lot more to Facebook than Facebook does to Google+. Its very existence for one thing.

I heard from a number of friends and articles that chewing gum helps your jaw muscles to an extent... is this true?
http://www.bodybuildingtipsguide.com...muscle-health/What does chewing gum does to Jaw Muscles?
Gum chewing could be beneficial in burning the facial fat, although only to a certain extent and in small amount. Chewing gums do provide with an important exercise to the jaw muscles, strengthening them, but that also to a certain extent only. Chewing gums can be useful in maxillo-facial joint strengthening as well.
Misconceptions about gum chewing
It is also a common belief that chewing gum leads to fatigue and subsequent pain in the jaws. An exploration into the studies conducted in this direction clearly showed no correlation of chewing gums with the fatigue of muscles. Although, it is understandable that too much and too far repetition of an activity leads to a fatigue, no matter whichever part of the body is concerned and a rest is advisable, even if the concerned exercise is gum chewing.
The disadvantage warranted by too much gum chewing is depletion in the teeth quality due to excessive saliva generation as well as the sweeteners and other ingredients of chewing gum and damage to
I have to say that I got addicted to chewing gum from 15-17 and the shape of my jaw/face changed aggressively (due to 5 days a week cardio and constant gum in my mouth).
Literally I would do neck excerises like on elevators and chew like whole packs of gum in a day.
They dont joke around when it says "May have a Laxactive affect" on the packaging....jus sayin.

Face-Off: Are Miley Cyrus Photos Inappropriate?by Free Britney at . Comments
Miley Cyrus, 15, has recently come under fire for her controversial topless photos in Vanity Fair. Your comments and opinions are highly encouraged in our Face-Off as The Hollywood Gossip staff members debate the following question ...
YES by mischalova
By law, Miley Cyrus cannot drive a car. She cannot vote, purchase tobacco products, appear in adult videos, serve in the Army or take a sip of alcohol. There is a reason for this: those in charge of this great nation have deemed such activities to be inappropriate and dangerous for a 15-year old.
Whether you think the topless photo of Cyrus in Vanity Fair is "racy" or "artistic," you must agree that it is inappropriate and dangerous, just as sending the singer into the battlefields of Iraq, armed with a voting booth and pack of cigarettes, would be.
At its heart, covering one's bare body with a blanket is a seductive pose.
It's been duplicated throughout time by beautiful women such as Megan Fox and Christina Aguilera. Do you really think they were trying to be artistic, or attempting to sell their records/movies via their sexuality?
Eventually, this may be a permissible path for Cyrus. But not yet. A 15-year old should not be seducing anyone with anything but a catchy beat and a sitcom.
NO by Free Britney
Judge not lest ye be judged.
- Matthew 7:1
How quickly we vilify celebrities - but for what purpose? Jealousy? Self-righteousness? A misguided belief that celebs are (or should be) perfect humans?
Before you get up on your high horse regarding these Miley Cyrus photos, ask yourself what she has ever done to you? By posing for these (tasteful, artistic, innocent) pictures, Miley committed no crime - except in the court of public opinion.
Face it, she is being held to an unfairly high standard simply because the Disney Channel cuts her paychecks. That is preposterous.
Cyrus is a fine young woman who has every right to make her own decisions regarding her body and her image. If offered the cover of Vanity Fair, and a photo shoot with Annie Leibovitz, maybe a lot of us would jump at that chance.
You know it's true. So cut this wonderful, sexy star some slack, enjoy her fine contributions to the entertainment world, and move on.
What do you think? Which side of this Miley Cyrus Face-Off are you on!?
OMG, people need to get over it! Miley posed for Vanity Fair, not Playboy. The photos are artistic and beautiful, not inappropriate.
I dont forgive Miley.I used to be a huge fan of her though.But not anymore.Theres a whole bunch of little girls that look up to her and she knows that and shes just going to do a photo shoot like that.And I know everyone makes mistakes but she knows what Vanessa did so shes going to do it.Thats just my opinion.
I believe that it is too sexual for a 15 year old girl but it is a career move. She is getting attention from both media and fans. She is just taking her career to the next level. Though it doesn't make it right. She is under age and printing those picture is just the same as making child porn.
I'm on the latter. Miley has made a mistake, but she would not be under nearly so much pressure if it wasn't for her role in Hannah Montana. Give her a break. The girl is only 15! Cyrus deserves a second chance.
I really don't know what to say because i really looked up to her & wanted to be like her until i heard what she did. It wasn't that Vanity Affair shoot, but the other pics. It's disappointing! :(
The only reason these are controversial is becuase the media is giving this too much attention. She isn't showing anything inappropriate not to mention they were taken by a well-respected photographer for a well-respected magazine. The headlines on ET last evening were talking about this...and then in the same sentence they show Julianna Hughes (DWTS) in nothing but a flag. But that supposedly is OK - the media twists and turns things to get a story and a rise out of people. Miley should be proud of herself and the media should quit looking to ruin someone's image.

When it comes to moving things, you cannot get much more awkward than a piano. Transporting an organ yourself is not a job to be taken lightly considering an upright piano can easily weigh more than two people (some upwards of 200kg!).
Given their significant bulk pianos are also pretty delicate, they have lots of moving parts and strings that can all easily be damaged if mishandled. Pianos are also often antiques or heirlooms, further increasing their value.
Preparing a Piano for Transport
If you're going to move the piano yourself there are a number of precautions to be taken:- Lock the keyboard cover to make sure it doesn't rattle around
- Get as many hands to help as possible, this isn't a two person job
- Make sure there's a clear path to the exit, clear of clutter
- You'll need some sort of dolly or trolley to roll the piano (do not roll it on its casters!)
- Wrap and tie the piano in blankets to avoid damaging walls or the piano itself
- Tilting and pivoting the piano will always be easier than lifting it (use cardboard or carpet to buffer when doing this)
Piano moves are extremely difficult and it's for this reason that there are specialist piano removal companies to tackle the task – a task that requires special tools and skills as well as a great deal of patience and precision to pull off. So if you wish to forgo the considerable effort yourself, let the professionals do the heavy work for you.

I just wanted to compliment you on Liquid Gold Floor Restore. I'm almost always disappointed in products that don't do what they're supposed to but this stuff really works.

text: Dodgers Pitcher Josh Beckett Out for Season Print article Send a Tip by John Pudner 29 Jun 2013 post a comment Los Angeles Dodgers hurler Josh Beckett is out of the season to undergo surgery to relieve a pinched nerve in his neck, the Dodgers announced on Saturday. The Dodgers traded for Josh Beckett, the former All-Star pitcher who infamously drank beer, ate fried chicken and played video games in the clubhouse during the Red Sox collapse. The second pitch he threw for the Dodgers was blasted way out of the park by Tyler Colvin in a 10-0 loss last August. A look at traditional stats would seem to indicate that Beckett won seven games for the $31.5 million he will be paid for both seasons - five for Boston and two for Los Angeles. However, Sean Smith's Wins Above Replacement (WAR) indicates that Beckett pitched only well enough to earn and additional 0.3 wins over what would have been won anyway if a replacement pitcher (borderline major leaguer) had pitched in his place in all 36 starts over the two seasons, so he has only added 0.3 wins by pitching for the Dodgers - or a pace of one win per $105 million earned. From 2001 to 2011, Beckett was worth an additional 33.4 wins to his teams and was a key part of runs by the Florida Marlins and Red Sox. The Dodgers' $216 million salary is just $12 million less than the New York Yankees'. Even though the Dodgers are in last place, they entered play Saturday only 5.5 games out of first place since there is no dominant team in the NL West, so a return to form for the inconsistent but often dominant Beckett could have helped a playoff run. Beckett's stats over the past two years and his 13-year career follow: Year Age Tm W L ERA GS IP WAR 2012 32 BOS-LAD 7 14 4.65 28 170.1 0.9 2013 33 LAD 0 5 5.19 8 43.1 -0.6 13 Yrs 132 100 3.94 312 1935.1 33.7

text: Poll: Expanded Background Checks Won't Curb Gun Violence Print article Send a Tip by AWR Hawkins 3 Apr 2013 post a comment A Rasmussen poll released on April 2 shows that 51% of Americans believe expanding background checks won't do anything to curb gun violence. In fact, six percent of those polled believe expanding background checks could contribute to increased gun violence. These numbers make sense when viewed beside the shrinking number of those who support background checks now, as compared with those who did when emotions were running high following the heinous crime at Sandy Hook Elementary. In the immediate aftermath of that tragedy, support for expanding background checks was at 88%, but that figure is now at 75% and falling. As Breitbart News has reported numerous times since the tragedy in Newtown, CT, expanded background checks would not have deterred Adam Lanza in the least because he stole the guns he used to commit his crimes. This is why Senator Lindsay Graham (R-SC) speaks for more and more of his Senate colleagues--and 51% of the respondents in the Rasmussen poll--when he says that forcing private individuals to go "through a background check" before transferring their firearms "makes no sense."

July 5 (Bloomberg) -- The Reserve Bank of Australia left its benchmark interest rate unchanged and said the nation's growth pace may be weaker than previously forecast, triggering the local currency's biggest drop in about three weeks.
Governor Glenn Stevens held the overnight cash rate target at 4.75 percent in Sydney for the seventh straight meeting, as forecast by all 28 economists surveyed by Bloomberg News. He said in a statement that inflation is expected to near the RBA's 2 percent to 3 percent target in the next year.
Stevens's decision to extend a pause in raising rates reflects slowing expansions from Asia to Europe that dimmed prospects for an acceleration in hiring at home by mining companies including BHP Billiton Ltd. Stevens said a European debt crisis had "added to uncertainty" about the outlook for the world economy.
"The statement highlights the importance of the global growth picture to the RBA's policy deliberations and the implications for domestic growth," said Su-Lin Ong, head of Australian economic and fixed-income strategy at RBC Capital Markets in Sydney. She said she plans to change her forecast for the next rate rise to late in the fourth quarter, from August.
The Australian dollar fell against all its major counterparts after the decision, trading at $1.0682 as of 3:30 p.m. in Sydney from $1.0734 in New York yesterday.
2011 Growth
"Growth through 2011 is now unlikely to be as strong as earlier forecast," Stevens said in today's statement, retreating from the RBA's May 6 prediction that the economy will expand 4.25 percent this year, the fastest pace since 1999.
Australia's economy shrank 1.2 percent in the first quarter, the most since 1991, as floods in the northeast slashed coal exports. The nation's recovery may be more prolonged after a report last month showed the number of full-time jobs fell by 79,200 in May and April, the biggest two-month decline in more than two years. The jobless rate held at 4.9 percent.
"A gradual recovery from the floods and cyclones over the summer is taking place, though the resumption of coal production in flooded mines continues to proceed more slowly than initially expected," Stevens said. "The recovery will boost output over the months ahead, and there will also be a mild boost to demand from the broader rebuilding efforts as they get under way."
Dollar's Rise
The RBA has relied on the Australian dollar's strength to temper inflation. The local currency has risen 27 percent in the past year and reached $1.1012 on May 2, the highest since exchange controls were scrapped in 1983.
That appreciation mirrors rising global demand for Australian iron ore, coal and other resources, with the RBA's commodity price index advancing about 40 percent in May from a year earlier in U.S. dollar terms.
The RBA said in its May 6 forecasts that consumer prices will rise 3.25 percent this year and core inflation, which excludes the most volatile prices, will reach 3 percent.
"CPI inflation is expected to be close to target over the next 12 months," Stevens said today. "In underlying terms, inflation has been in the bottom half of the target range, though a gradual increase is expected over time."
Household spending accounts for 55 percent of Australia's economy, and the central bank has sought to restrain consumption with 175 basis points of rate increases from October 2009 to November, letting investment in mining drive growth. A report yesterday showed retail sales unexpectedly dropped 0.6 percent in May from a month earlier, the second fall in three months.
Employment 'Falling'
"The Reserve Bank finally gets it," said Craig James, a Sydney-based senior economist at Commonwealth Bank of Australia, the nation's biggest lender. "You only lift interest rates if you feel that a strongly performing economy will generate inflationary pressures. And that is clearly not the case at present. Employment has been falling, home prices are going backwards and consumers refuse to spend."
The economy of China, Australia's biggest trading partner, is also slowing. China's non-manufacturing industries expanded at the weakest pace in four months in June, a report showed yesterday.
The RBA had expressed concern that higher consumption would clash with capacity constraints such as skill shortages caused by mining investment that the government estimates will reach A$76 billion ($81 billion) this fiscal year.
European finance ministers agreed over the weekend to disburse 8.7 billion euros ($12.6 billion) of loans to Greece under last year's 110 billion-euro bailout by July 15, rewarding Greek Premier George Papandreou for pushing an extra austerity plan through parliament.
A default by Greece is "almost certain" and may help push the U.S. economy into a recession, Alan Greenspan, the former U.S. Federal Reserve chairman, said in a June 16 interview with Charlie Rose in New York.

A Healthy Back: Protecting Your Back
When it comes to back pain, the culprit is usually something right under your nose. Improperly lifting a heavy suitcase or a child, strenuous workouts, sleeping on a bad mattress, even your golf swing can wreak havoc on your back.
According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, approximately 80% of us will experience significant back pain sometime in our lives. In fact, back pain is the second leading cause (after the common cold) of lost work days in adults under the age of 45. It's estimated that lost wages and insurance-compensated medical claims alone resulting from back pain exceed 11 billion dollars annually.
Fortunately, to a large extent, back pain is preventable. The use of proper lifting techniques, a healthful diet, and regular exercise are some of the keys to promoting good back health.
Moderation in Everything
Jerold Lancourt, MD, a fellow of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, says that while couch potatoes are not doing their backs any favors. Neither are those whose mantra is "no pain, no gain."
Couch potatoes with stiff, weak backs, he says, are more likely to suffer back injury than those with strong, flexible backs. But he warns, don't suddenly leap off your couch and make a beeline for the nearest gym. Start slowly.
Aerobic exercise is good, as long as you are willing to stop after ten minutes or so for the first couple of weeks to give your body a chance to adapt to the new routine. Walking is also wonderful, and not just for your back.
"Walking works the muscles. It is, fundamentally, the best exercise for the whole body," Dr. Lancourt says. Incorporate stretching exercises into your routine, too, he adds, as stretching is "absolutely critical to injury prevention."
Obesity is often a contributing factor to back pain. "We've gotten too fat and it hurts," he says. "People are really hurting themselves by being overweight. Backs can't take the stress."
Workout Warning
"Exercise is great in your 20s and 30s," says Dr. Lancourt, "but it's critical in your 40s and 50s. Take preventative measures in your middle years so you can enjoy your older years. It's never too late to start."
But, he adds, there are some caveats.
"Avoid using heavy weights when working out, and be very careful with personal trainers who may have credentials in health but no clue about disease."
Because the profession is largely unregulated, he says, it's crucial to check credentials before signing on with a trainer. Most importantly, stop what you're doing if it doesn't feel right. Then ask questions about proper technique before starting up again.
Be Careful With Your Spine
"The spine has been proven to be a hydraulic structure. The more you load it, the more it bursts at the seams," Dr. Lancourt explains. "When you're young and strong, you have to be careful not to overload your spine, because, with backs, we pay dearly for our mistakes."
Mom Was (Probably) Right
According to generations of mothers, good posture is essential for a strong, healthy back. However, the medical community has yet to reach consensus as to the benefits of good posture in the prevention of back pain. Dr. Lancourt believes good posture to be important, but says there are limits to what it can achieve. So, as long as the jury is out, SIT UP STRAIGHT! (And keep nagging your kids to do the same).
He notes that for women, high heels increase the curve of the lower back, which can add unnecessary stress. Wider heels provide more support than spiked heels and put less stress on backs.
Learn to Lift
Improper lifting is the cause of a great number of back injuries. Practicing good body mechanics is crucial. "You want to lift with bent knees and only a partially bent back," says Dr. Lancourt. "Get close to the item you need to lift, bend your knees not your back and keep the load close to your body." Back straps won't hurt, he says, but they've never been proven to help. "They do, however, make you more aware of your back, which can only be good."
Follow the lifting rules whether you're carting grocery bags, packing crates, laundry baskets, or young children. "Parents have to train children not to jump up on them when they want to be lifted," adds Dr. Lancourt.
Sedentary Sufferers
If you often have a sore, tired back after being chained to your desk all day, you need to schedule time each day to work the kinks out. "Allow some time for exercise during each day, whether you get up a little early, do it when you get home, or walk for a half hour during your lunch break," Dr. Lancourt advises.
Mattress Matters
Take some advice from Goldilocks and choose a mattress that's not too hard and not too soft. Find one that's just right. While your mattress should conform to your back and be comfortable, Dr. Lancourt says, it should also provide a measure of support. "It's a very individual thing. If you wake up with back pain, change your mattress."
Other Causes of Back Pain
In women, back pain can be a symptom of other ailments including uterine or ovarian problems. If you are experiencing unusual cramping, heavy bleeding, or other symptoms along with back pain see your gynecologist or primary care practitioner.
In women who are post menopausal sudden and severe back pain may also be a sign of a fracture of the vertebrae due to osteoporosis—a disease that is characterized by bone loss and increased bone fragility.
Any back pain that is severe or does not resolve with usually measures warrants further investigation and evaluation by a physician.
Stay Alert
We don't usually get hurt doing routine tasks. Most back injuries occur when we're doing extraordinary tasks such as planting a tree, playing in the surf, or shoveling snow.
"Be more deliberate in your actions when you're doing something out of the ordinary, when you're in a hurry, or when you're tired. That's when most of us get hurt," cautions Dr. Lancourt.
Luckily, most back pain is self-limited. It hurts for a few weeks and then goes away. But when it does act up, the Texas Back Institute recommends the following seven steps:
- Stop what you're doing. If your back starts to hurt while you're golfing the second hole, don't even think about playing the entire 18! But don't wait too long to get back to activity. Studies conclusively show that two days of bed rest are better than a week.
- Take aspirin or ibuprofen immediately. After an injury (unless medically restricted), take the smallest effective dose that will minimize side effects.
- Ice, then heat. Ice first for 48 hours, then heat. Ice will help reduce the swelling and help relieve soreness. Follow with heat to relax muscle spasms. Apply either ice or heat for only five minutes at a time to avoid skin damage. No ice pack handy? Freeze a small paper cup full of water. Peel back the top edge and voila! An ice massager that's handy to hold.
- Massage. Gentle hand massage may provide relief by stretching tight muscles and ligaments.
- Exercise. Unlike medication, which simply masks symptoms, exercise has a lasting effect, and makes the back more resistant to strain. It also improves blood supply to the back to improve healing of back injuries. It works for both treatment and prevention.
- Adjust. When you are in pain, a few adjustments in your lifestyle can provide relief. Sit as little as possible, drive as little as possible, and avoid heavy lifting or pushing.
- Relax! Try a home remedy version of biofeedback. Imagine a tranquil place and take a vacation in your mind. Listen to your favorite music or read a good book. You'll be surprised how much a few minutes of relaxation can help relieve back pain.

2009 Aflac All-American Game Recap
SAN DIEGO – In a game where the talent was so evenly matched, the outcome of Sunday afternoon's Aflac All-American High School Baseball Classic was fitting.
A triple down the right field line by Rancho Buena Vista (Calif.) High School shortstop Tony Wolters sent the seventh annual Aflac All-American High School Baseball Classic into extra innings for the first time since the game's inception in 2003. A unique extra innings format saw both teams score a run in the 10th inning, and the game ended in a 4-all tie Sunday night at Petco Park before a record crowd of 8,027. The overall East vs. West series record for the Aflac All-American Classic, which features 40 of the nation's premiere high school baseball players, now stands at 3-3-1. Continue reading

SAN DIEGO – For the third time in four years, 40 of the nation's top high school baseball players will descend upon San Diego to play in the Aflac All-American High School Baseball Classic, the country's premier high school baseball showcase. This year's game will be played on Aug. 16 at 5 p.m. PDT in PETCO Park, home of the San Diego Padres, and will once again be televised live nationally on FOX Sports Net.
The Classic features an East vs. West format, played annually during the late summer before most participants have returned to school.

As part of Aflac's ongoing commitment to the fight against childhood cancer, all game proceeds from the 2009 Aflac All-American High School Baseball Classic will benefit Rady Children's Hospital in San Diego. Since 2003, the game has generated nearly $685,000 for charity.

CBB Visit: 2008 Aflac All-American Baseball Game at Dodger Stadium
For an East Team that consisted of so many great hitters in 2007 like Tim Beckham and Eric Hosmer, this 2008 East squad didn't show much of anything at the plate for most of the game. The West pitchers combined to hold the East to 1 hit over 8 innings. Jacob Turner (St. Charles, MO) set the tempo by striking out 4 East batters over the first 2 innings, but a 9th inning rally by the East gave them the victory. Continue reading

A few new trailers online today. Mind if we make a sausage roll out of their ingredients and roll them into one?
Haven't seen this yet, but I know quite a few have and are raving about it – and Ms Stewart's performance.
Liam Hemsworth is back holding a gun, something he does a lot of in "The Expendables 2″, with something a little less cheesy. Maybe.
Okay, this is a joke – but it's such a good one (and I do love, love, love Brucie!) that I found it impossible to resist posting.

There are already many threads, on many other forums, about whether this device even works or not. Bottom line, every thread has some that claim it does & an equal number claiming is doesn't. So let's not waste time revisiting that debate
So let's assume for sake of this thread that it DOES work, then wouldn't this possibly cause negative feedback? If so, what if it was cycled or used for only few hours a day? If it's stimulating the leydig cells to boost test levels, won't that eventually down regulate LH production?

We Interrupt this Blog to Bring You an Important Public Service Announcement!
Ok, So, last Monday night (a week ago) I am getting ready for bed and I turn on the dishwasher and go upstairs (like I do every night). I am fiddling around on the computer when I hear these weird noises downstairs so I check them out.
I walk downstairs and enter the kitchen and there is SMOKE coming out of the dishwasher!!! You know, that stinky, black electrical fire kind of smoke! I run over and open the door of the dishwasher which turns off the cycle then I run back to the stairs and start yelling for Scott to come downstairs NOW! We both enter the kitchen and there are now FLAMES coming out of the dishwasher!!
FLAMES IN THE KITCHEN IS A HOLY CRAP MOMENT in my book!!!
We get everything under control and are in clean up mode when my mind starts working.... What if we had gone to bed??? How long would it have burned before the smoke alarm alerted us???
When I think of the things that could have happened and what did.. It just scares me so!!
So there's my story about the flaming dishwasher of doom, and here comes the public service announcement part... Please, NEVER LEAVE YOUR HOUSE WITH THE DISHWASHER, THE DRYER OR THE CLOTHES WASHER ON!! When I think of what could have happened - it's just too scary!!!
Anyway, the sun is shining and it is a beautiful day today and I am washing dishes by hand - like they did in the "olden days".
Have a great day and please be careful!!!!
Oh, here is the quilt I made for my Mom (it's my ON THE RUN pattern and we added one row to the bottom), we worked on it together when she was out here for Thanksgiving and I think it turned out great! She loves it too!!

Sorry your dishwasher went up in flames! Holy cow! But, Love your public service announcement! I NEVER leave my dryer, dishwasher, washing machine going when I'm gone. One day I was doing a massive amount of laundry. Something smelled funny in the laundry room. Upon further inspection our dryer was hotter then you know what! My husband took the whole thing apart. Couldn't find anything. Son #2 happens to work for an appliance store. They said to check the vent. Sure enough someone had put something up against the house on the back patio. Right over the vent! Easily fixed but what would have happened, if I hadn't been home?

Truly sorry about your dishwasher! I am washing dishes like the old days this past week also as ours did just the opposite ... it flooded our hardwood floors and the crawl-space. Factory defect had the supply hose to the top break and we didn't notice it until the floors started cupping. BLAH! My husband's a fireman so would agree with you on the firesafety issues ... we aren't allowed to burn candles unless they're on a birthday cake here. :) Take care and use lots of lotion on your hands after washing dishes.

That is scary!! On a smaller scary note, one time I was sewing and had my iron right next to me and all of a sudden flames shot out of it! Luckily, I was right there and unplugged it right away. What if I had left the room with it on? Yikes!!

Oh my!. . . I'm so glad that you are safe! How scary though. I'm a stickler for not leaving home with any appliances on. I've heard warnings (& now stories too!) Yikes!

Great. One more thing to worry about! J/K. But thanks for sharing that story. I'll need to be better about that! Glad you were there to catch it! That is so scary to think about the "what if's"!

The sign-up period for Obamacare ended yesterday in much the same way it began…with massive demand resulting in website issues. Republicans have continually pointed out the troubles with the website as an example of Obamacare's failure. While there have undoubtedly been some rocky times for the enrollment sites, both at the national and state level, one thing that doubters can no longer deny…that the program has been a raging success in providing access to health care to millions of Americans.
With the website issues upon rollout last fall, enrollment grew at a snail's pace for the first few months, leading experts and detractors alike to spout that the program would never meet the goal of enrolling 7 million Americans by March 31st. With the incredible surge in signups over the last few weeks and days, it's now being reported that signups are likely to meet, if not significantly exceed, the original 7 million goal. In addition to those enrolling directly, several million more have successfully enrolled in the Medicaid expansion component of the program.
Republicans, predictably, have been spouting in recent days that the White House has been "cooking the books", seemingly unable to grasp that Americans want and NEED access to health care. Despite the negative spin, it's becoming incredibly difficult for detractors to bash the program.
The only losers? Citizens in red states, where bitter, politically motivated Republican governors have refused to accept FREE Federal dollars to expand their states' Medicaid programs. Putting politics over the welfare of their own citizens, millions that COULD have had access to health care have been denied, all for the sake of right-wing politicians boosting their conservative "cred" for the next election.
Nonetheless, today is a day to celebrate! Obamacare is a success. Obamacare is here to stay.
