(CARLSBAD, CA) – When you think of osteoporosis, do you picture your 90-year-old grandmother hunching over her walker, or your elderly neighbor shuffling around in her frail frame? If so, then think again. Osteoporosis is not just a disease for "old people." It's striking young folks, especially women, and it's time to take notice.
According to a study conducted at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, a startling 15 percent of college-aged females have already lost enough bone mass to increase their risk for osteoporosis. Another two percent already have osteoporosis in its full form!
Unfortunately, the problem is gradually getting worse. Young girls and adult women are facing twice as many bone fractures today as 30 years ago. Scientists suspect this increase in bone breaks is partly due to dietary changes and a lack of appropriate exercise.
The good news is that you can start taking proactive steps now to prevent osteoporosis. Jazzercise Founder and CEO Judi Sheppard Missett suggests taking these three key steps to ward off osteoporosis.
Start weight-bearing activities. Jogging, stair climbing, and other load-bearing regimens can increase your bone mass. Basically, the impact from such exercises causes your bones to build new cells. Additionally, as you exercise, you improve your muscle strength and balance, which means you're less likely to fall and break a bone.
Take the right supplements. We all know that calcium is needed to build strong bones. But did you know that calcium needs a partner to make the bone building happen? Vitamin D, along with magnesium, is needed to help calcium do its job. Foods like milk, fish, eggs, and some cereals have Vitamin D. The sunlight's ultraviolet B rays also offer Vitamin D. But, you are probably not getting enough from those two sources alone. Talk to your doctor about the possibility of a Vitamin D supplement.
Get scanned. While the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recommends bone-density scans for women ages 65 and older, you may need to get tested early. If you have a small-framed body, a family history of osteoporosis, miss your period for three months or longer, or if your diet is lacking in dairy and vitamin D, then talk to your doctor about a bone density test. Find out where you're at now, and start making changes before it's too late.
Jazzercise, created by Judi Sheppard Missett, is the world's leading dance-fitness program with more than 7,500 instructors teaching 32,000 classes weekly in the U.S. and around the globe. Since 1969, millions of people of all ages and fitness levels have reaped the benefits of this comprehensive program, designed to enhance cardiovascular endurance, strength, and flexibility. For more information on Jazzercise go to jazzercise.com or call (800)FIT-IS-IT or (760)476-1750.

Social Network? Why?

Here's an interesting Lug_Nut thought.
Communication is a very important to most, if not all RVer's With all the latest wireless technology , internet, smart phones, GPS location devices, etc, I think we are pretty well equipped. After all, we can contact and keep in touch with friends and relatives regardless in the world they, or we, are. Our family and friends network is complete.
Not so, according to the multiple folks that Twitter and Face book off. What's up with them? If they really want to let friends know something, why can't they e-mail them? You can do it in a multiple recipient if it is many contacts you would like to advise. Instead, these lonely folks seem to need to post their life, perhaps in hope that they will be discovered as not a social dweeb!
Don't these people have friends? Are these people in that need to reinforce their popularity? Are they insecure with their personal status? I guess so. There is no other reason why people would feel obligated to post everything they do, or are going to do, on any public site. Oh yes, they will tell you it is secure only to those "Friends", (Many of which they have not seen for years or may be never). Hello! Hacking your information is probably "Internet 101, to break into any or all of this gibberish.
This social networking is supported by commercial enterprises, and probably for good reasons. If you owned a business, you would want to reach everyone you can. Why would a private individual ever want to expose their life to any and everyone? I can only assume that these people either are socially challenged or want to increase their popularity image, to others, or more likely to themselves.
Well, to each his own. They can keep what they are doing and I will too.

What is Twitter?
May 10, 2009 by Chris Guld · 492 Comments
by Geeks on Tour: This isn't exactly RV related, but Twitter can be used to keep up with the RVing community. So many people ask me about Twitter, it must be time for an article. I like to explain by example, so let me show you how I'm using Twitter. I just visited my Twitter home page, and this is what I saw:
I feel like I'm walking into a room where there are lots of people milling about and talking. The cool part is that these are all people I've chosen for one reason or another, it's my special party room. And they aren't too talkative, just a few words about what they're doing or what they're thinking. In less than a minute of glancing at my Twitter home page, I'm up-to-date with all the people I'm 'Following.'
Let me introduce you around. The first person you see at my party represents Public Earth. These are people we met at The Rally. They are launching a special website about places. You can find and view these places using a Google Maps interface, store your places in your Public Earth account, and download them to your dashtop GPS for directions. I think it's something I'm really going to like – and I won't forget about it because I'm following their 'tweets.'
Next comes GypsyJournal – this is Nick Russell, a fulltime RVer, and a friend. I usually follow his blog, but that takes a lot more time than just seeing him at my Twitter party! Because of this post, I see that he's getting ready to go to the Escapades – and we'll see him there.
Now you see Charlene Li – I've never met Charlene. She is an author and a speaker; a recognized expert in the new Social Media and what it all means. I value her opinion. She liked the new Star Trek … I'll bet I will too.
EMasie is Elliott Masie. I know Elliott from back in the 80s when he produced the Computer Training and Support Conferences and I was a speaker there. He is a top thinker and trendsetter in the education field and I love being able to see what he's up to in such an easy, quick, unobtrusive way. I'm sure I'll enjoy his tweets from India.
If you want to start your own party, just go to Twitter.com and sign up for a free account. Then you can find other people who are on Twitter and click the 'Follow' button below their names, voila! instant party. If you also start writing some of your own tweets, you may find that some people start following you. If you have a business, this can be used for marketing. My latest tweet was about how I was looking for membership site software for my latest website … within minutes, I received an email that a membership site software business was now 'following' me on Twitter. That means that I'll show up in their party room, but they're not in mine unless I follow them.
Do you need to be on Twitter? Of course not. But, if you're already spending time online visiting people's blogs and otherwise browsing – you may actually find that Twitter saves you time. The RV.net blog can be followed on Twitter – see the link at the top, far right. Once you're looking at RV.net's Twitter page, you may want to check out who's at their party! See who RV.net is following, and you may want to follow them too. It is so quick and easy to fill your party room with people you enjoy.
So, what's the difference between Facebook and Twitter? Facebook is a lot more complex. I haven't figured out Facebook yet. Twitter is nice and simple – at least so far! It allows you to write short snippets (tweets) about what you're doing or thinking, it allows others to follow your tweets, and you to follow others.
If you're interested in learning more about the phenomenon that Twitter is becoming, you can watch this video by the founder of Twitter, Evan Williams.

You Decide, I Report…Live From The Rally
April 14, 2009 by Brian Brawdy · 9 Comments
I know it seems that everyone is on the way to The Rally here in Albuquerque, New Mexico. But some folks, for a variety of reasons, are unable to make it this weekend. So here is what I propose.
How about a personal video update from me to you? Log on to Facebook or Twitter (http://www.facebook.com/Brian-Brawdy or http://twitter.com/brianbrawdy) and let me know, in 140 characters or less, what you would like to see from here at The Rally and why. Each day, starting Thursday, I will randomly choose a few suggestions and then post a video update to you on RV.net.
Maybe there is an event or a new product you would like to see, perhaps an old friend you want to check in with. IT IS UP TO YOU!
Keep your Facebook posts & tweets coming throughout the weekend.
In case you are new to Facebook or Twitter, this is a great reason to join! They're both easy, fast and free!
To learn more about Conservation thru Exploration and Greening your RV, please visit BrianBrawdy.com

Are all closed funds "Zombie" funds - neglected by management and producing poor returns? Or is this just the image portrayed by the press? With an increase in the number and merger activity of such funds there is a need to demonstrate that they can be well managed and to challenge the perception that closed fund means bad fund.
This paper identifies some of the risks and potential mitigations associated with running closed life funds and will also be of interest to those involved in open funds containing legacy blocks of business.

Good Enough Can Be Good Enough
[NOTE: We eat a Paleo diet now, so some of the food references in this post are outdated, but I'm keeping it here for anyone that does eat a more conventional diet.]
Menu planning, by it's very nature, formalizes the meal planning process. Rather than meals being thrown together last minute in a haphazard way, they are pondered, compared to each other, chosen, and written down days in advance. Because you have to go through this process for each meal, it is easy to assume that the meal, in order to deserve that amount of thought and planning, must be a really good one. Without meal planning, hot dogs chosen last-minute because you didn't know what else to make for dinner might seem perfectly acceptable to you, but when you're doing that fancy thing called meal planning, suddenly hot dogs might seem undeserving- shouldn't you be making Polish sausage paninis from Martha Stewart magazine? Should you be trying that new recipe for roast chicken with Dijon mustard sauce?
Well, my answer is, "No!" Stick with the same food you usually cook. Let go of the urge to make your planned meals fancier, or more sophisticated, or more inventive than they need to be. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for trying new recipes, and I love making gourmet food. But realistically, how many of us have the time and energy to be making fancy new dishes every week? If you're trying to make your meal plan too good, you might end up getting frustrated that you can't live up to your high expectations, and give up the meal planning process altogether. And that would be a shame, because the benefits to meal planning are huge (so huge, in fact, let's review them for a sec):
Benefits of Meal Planning
- Less late afternoon stress because you'll know in advance what's for dinner
- Save time because you'll only need to take one trip to the grocery store at the beginning of the week, instead of heading to the store mid-week for last minute ingredient runs.
- Save money because you'll have a meal planned for each breakfast, lunch and dinner, which means you won't need to do any last minute restaurant/take-out food (unless you want to and you can actually afford it)
- Save money because you can see what's on sale at the grocery store and plan your meals around that
Try to make this meal planning process easy on yourself, so that you stick with in. Resist the temptation to make your meal plan perfect. Don't worry about whether you've planned a different breakfast each morning, whether your lunches are scrumptious versus just good, and whether your dinner choices are good enough to be featured in a magazine. In fact, as long as you're serving well-rounded meals (check out the U.S.D.A.'s MyPlate feature, which illustrates the elements of a healthy meal) go ahead and plan some very easy, very simple dinners, just to cut yourself some slack. For instance, one of my easiest dinners is fish sticks, because you just have to preheat the oven and throw them in. That's why I serve them every other week- they're easy, simple, and yummy, too. They're not gourmet, not scrumptious, not fancy, but they're good enough.
Weekly Meal Plan for the Week of October 8th
Dinner Plan
Monday: Fish sticks (from Costco), butternut squash, and a green salad.
Tuesday: Taco Tuesday! I'll fill white corn tortillas with seasoned ground turkey, refried beans, shredded lettuce, grated cheese, and cilantro.
Wednesday: Spaghetti squash, with pasta sauce and Italian sausage. Served with a green salad and pickled beets on the side.
Thursday: Burritos, using the same filling as Taco Tuesday.
Friday: Pizza Night, with salad on the side. Made with this easy homemade dough recipe.
Saturday: Burger Night. I try to keep the freezer stocked with various patties: beef, chicken, veggie, salmon. This week I'll probably use the beef patties, and serve the burgers with roasted acorn squash and a green salad.
Sunday: International Night. I'll make Chicken Mole again, from the Joy of Cooking recipe, and serve it with white rice and leftover acorn squash from Saturday.
- Pumpkin Flax Granola with yogurt or milk
- Apple Cinnamon Chex with milk
- Sunday only: Homemade cinnamon rolls, scrambled eggs
We eat fruit with every breakfast- this week honeydew melon and navel oranges
- Homemade frozen burritos
- Peanut butter & jelly sandwiches
- Cheese sandwiches
- Quesadillas
We also eat fruit with every lunch- the same fruit options as for breakfast, plus celery sticks
What's YOUR menu plan this week?

As Maricopa County legal defender Dawn Sinclair began presenting a 2 1/2-hour closing argument in the defense of Jesus Arturo Martinez Jr. on Monday, she told members of the jury they would be making one of the most important decisions in their life:
They would decide whether Arturo Martinez, 24, is sentenced to life in prison or death for the murder of Nisay Kang, the 34-year-old Chandler woman he beat and stabbed to death in May 2007 at a convenience store at the former Peaks at Papago Park apartment complex in east Phoenix near the Tempe border.
At the conclusion of the penalty phase of court proceedings over the last 23 days, after which Arturo Martinez's sentence will be decided, a jury now is set to deliberate over his fate, a decision that could come as early as this week.
Not excusing what Arturo Martinez did to Kang, who was a wife and mother of a then-8-year-old girl, Sinclair presented a portrait of mitigating factors in his case that included Arturo Martinez acting out in school as a youth when his parents separated and disrupting a public education system and often smoking marijuana, which later escalated to cocaine use, that caused him to lose his way in life.
Arturo Martinez told police he was "drugged up" at the time he killed Kang, and that he wanted to take her money but didn't want to be caught.
"This isn't a man who was thinking," Sinclair said. "It wasn't pre-meditated. The person Jesus Arturo Martinez Jr. really lost his way at the time of the murder. It was horrific, but Junior is not horrific. He never meant for her to die; he meant to take her money. The robbery was not a well-conceived plan. He got scared and panicked. He didn't take a weapon. He is not a monster, but lost his way because of drugs."
Arturo Martinez, 24, who appeared in court on Monday wearing a white shirt and khaki pants, pleaded guilty to first-degree murder, kidnapping, burglary and robbery in August, avoiding a trial. He held his head down at looked at the table as deputy Maricopa County attorney Treena Kay showed pictures of what he did to Kang in the course of about 15 minutes, beating her with his fists to the point he bruised his own arms and hands and broke her nose, repeatedly stabbing her in the face and eyes with a pen before severing her carotid artery and jugular vein with a pair of scissors he retrieved from a drawer behind the store's counter.
He stole money and some merchandise from the store moments before he tore down a video surveillance camera and took the tape and the keys that still were hanging from the lock of the store's door.
The merchandise — some Monster energy drinks and cigars — were something that Kang would often give to Arturo Martinez when he did not have the money to pay for them.
Police later found the energy drinks inside the refrigerator of the apartment where Arturo Martinez was living with his girlfriend and girlfriend's brother and showered after the crime. Police also confiscated $498 in blood-stained currency from Kang's purse that witnesses saw him carrying outside the store that morning, and the pair of Kang's underwear he tore off of her after pulling off her pants. He didn't sexually assault her, but prosecutors argued he was acting out a fantasy of rough sex he had fantasized about from pornography he had seen.
Through the beating, Kang, whose father was killed during the Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia in the 1970s, fiercely fought back not only for her life, but her dignity and virtue, Kay argued. Kang bruised her own hands while hitting Arturo Martinez back, scratching his neck and arms.
Kang's husband, Paul Ea, who has attended the hearings and whose father also was killed during the Khmer Rouge regime, stayed inside Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Paul McMurdie's courtroom during the proceeding. However, Ea's former mother-in-law and his daughter Alisa, now 13, who also were there, stayed outside during the prosecution's presentation.
During the prosecution's closing argument, Kay countered with graphic photos of the crime scene: candy and potato chip racks up against the doors of the store, blood stains on the wall, a photo of Kang's bruised and bloody face, Kang's body, naked from the waist down lying in a pool of blood.
Kay stressed the aggravating factors in Kang's death to warrant the death penalty for Arturo Martinez: Kang was killed in a cruel manner as she was conscious and aware of the crime against her and was alive up to the point her carotid artery and jugular vein were severed; the crime was committed for pecuniary or monetary gain; and other crimes were committed that resulted in a death: kidnapping, burglary and robbery.
"He didn't impulsively attack her," Kay said of Arturo Martinez. "He pretended to be a customer. He went behind the counter after she told him to wait outside.
"This murder was personal, hands-on, ongoing and cruel."

Public Financial Management
Most college students know how to balance a checkbook. SPEA Public Financial Management majors know how to balance a budget--a big one. Public Financial Management majors learn to tackle the billion-dollar budgets of cities, states, and the federal government. They study accounting, auditing, taxes, and other building blocks to a solid budget.
What's the difference between SPEA Public Financial Management and a business finance program?
Great question. Business finance programs tend to have a strict focus on the private sector--on corporate arenas. SPEA Public Financial Management focuses on the public sector--on government, from local to federal. Many of the skills, like financial accounting and budeting, are the same, but the focus is different. Still--these skills prepare our students to work in the private sector if they choose, and to develop careers that weave through the public, nonprofit, and private sectors.
Budgets, accounting, tax code...that sounds hard.
We won't lie--this is a math-heavy major with lots of accounting and budgeting coursework required. However, our four-year plan of coursework is designed to introduce concepts and skills at a level undergraduate students can digest! Still, students who are not confident in math should consider talking to a SPEA advisor about whether this major is best for them--or whether they'd be better suited with a different Public Affairs focus.
What coursework do I need with a Public Financial Management major?

Students already admitted to IUB prior to summer 2011 (even if they were not yet admitted to SPEA) will continue to follow our existing degree requirements; requirements for students admitted to IUB summer 2011 and later will utilize the new requirements that take the new campus GenEd into account.

PKP Bugzilla – Bug 3793
Can't update section info with 2.2.2 and Postgres
Last modified: 2008-09-28 19:43:25 PDT
After updating from 2.1 to 2.2.2, any attempt to edit sections returns:
DB Error: ERROR: invalid input syntax for integer: ""
Turns out, our sections.review_form_id are all NULL and Postgres just won't have any of that do-magick-with-nulls MySQL promotes.
The problem lies with the query in classes/journal/SectionDAO.inc.php:updateSection where $section->getReviewFormId is UPDATEd back to database and becomes an empty string if null.
PostgreSQL 8.1.9, Apache 2.2.6, PHP 5.2.5, Linux
Attaching an extremely crude patch for the benefit of anyone having this problem and needing a quick fix before Alec does it for real.
