EAU CLAIRE — The athletic training education program at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire recently was granted initial accreditation by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs.
The accreditation, which follows peer review by the Joint Review Committee on Educational Programs in Athletic Training and the Commission's board of directors, recognizes the program's substantial compliance with the nationally established accreditation standards established by the commission and The American Academy of Family Physicians, The American Academy of Pediatrics, The American Orthopedic Society for Sports Medicine, and the National Athletic Trainers' Association Inc.
"We are very pleased to receive accreditation of our program. It reflects the quality of our program and staff and is important to our students' futures," said Jeff Oliphant, assistant professor of kinesiology and director of the athletic training education program.
The athletic training education program has been part of UW-Eau Claire's kinesiology and athletics department for more than 20 years. In 1989, Oliphant was hired as an instructor and head athletic trainer. In 1996, the process of obtaining a major in athletic training and eventually accreditation began. In May 2002, the UW System Board of Regents gave UW-Eau Claire the approval to offer a bachelor of science degree in athletic training. During Oliphant's tenure, 50 students have completed the internship route to certification and 42 are currently working in the field as certified athletic trainers.
"We've always felt very fortunate to have a person with Jeff's exceptional talents and dedication directing our athletic training program," said Marilyn Skrivseth, chair of the kinesiology department. "Without his leadership and commitment to the athletic training program this accreditation would not have been possible."
Oliphant said accreditation means that UW-Eau Claire graduates in athletic training are qualified to sit for the Board of Certification's national examination, a new standard put into effect by the National Athletic Trainers Association in January.
Accreditation also means that UW-Eau Claire's program will be even more attractive to prospective students, said Oliphant, who expects demand for the program to grow given the U.S. Bureau of Statistics projection of an 18.5 percent growth in the number of athletic training positions nationally between 2000-2010.
Currently 40 students are enrolled in the major, with 24 admitted into the athletic training program. "Our maximum at this time is 15 a year, but I expect more demand in the future now that we are accredited," Oliphant said.
UW-Eau Claire graduates who have become certified athletic trainers have had no difficulty finding jobs or getting admitted to graduate school, Oliphant said. Most work in clinical settings, serving high school and community athletic programs. Others work with college and professional sports teams.
Among the strengths of the athletic training program are the partnerships it has established throughout the Chippewa Valley, Oliphant said. Partnerships exist with North and Memorial high schools in Eau Claire and Chippewa Falls High School, as well as area sports medicine clinics, area physicians, Chippewa Valley Orthopedics and Sports Medicine, and Oak Leaf Surgical Hospital.

Digital Bookmobile Tour shines spotlight on technology, literacy
The Digital Bookmobile National Tour (www.digitalbookmobile.com) will showcase the free e-book download service from South Dakota Titles to Go at Rawlins Municipal Library in Pierre on Friday, June 21, and at Watertown Regional Library in Watertown on Saturday, June 22, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at each location.
At these free events, readers of all ages will learn how to download e-books from the library through interactive demonstrations and high-definition instructional videos. A gadget gallery—featuring Kindle®, iPod® touch, Android™ tablet, NOOK™, Sony® Reader™, BlackBerry®, Windows® Phone and more—will help visitors discover portable devices that are compatible with the library's download service.
Library card holders from member libraries can also check out and download digital titles anytime, anywhere by visiting http://southdakota.lib.overdrive.com/. See if your library is a member by clicking the Participating Libraries tab.
"This is a wonderful opportunity for folks in the area to come learn about the 'South Dakota Titles to Go' program and experience all the new e-books and resources available through their local public library," said State Librarian Daria Bossman. "Seventy-seven percent of South Dakotans now have access to new popular fiction and nonfiction through this public library program. We are also using this occasion to celebrate the 100th birthday of the South Dakota State Library. Come join us in celebrating public library services to local communities spanning a century of progress."
The Digital Bookmobile is housed inside an 18-wheel tractor-trailer. This 74-foot community outreach vehicle is a high-tech update of the traditional bookmobile that has served communities for decades. The vehicle is equipped with broadband Internet-connected PCs, high definition monitors, premium sound systems and a variety of portable media players, all of which help visitors explore Titles to Go's download service. Interactive learning stations give visitors an opportunity to search the library's digital media collection, use supported mobile devices and sample e-books, audiobooks, music and video.
Patrons can take advantage of the download service 24/7 when they visit member libraries' websites. From there, they can browse the growing collection of bestselling, new release and classic titles and check out a digital title with a valid member library card.

Report: 1,000 injured as meteor falls in Russiaon February 15, 2013 @ 5:26 am (Updated: 11:45 am - 2/15/13 )
More Photos
See all photos
The academy said in a statement hours after the Friday morning fall that the meteor entered the Earth's atmosphere at a speed of at least 54,000 kph (33,000 mph) and shattered about 30-50 kilometers (18-32 miles) above ground.
CBS News Space Consultant Bill Harwood explained to KIRO Radio Seattle's Morning News that while the meteor exploded when it hit the earth's atmosphere, the force from such an event can still cause significant damage.
"When you get something this size, it hits the atmosphere and it kind of pancakes," said Harwood. "The thing will literally explode in the air and you get a shock wave, you get the sonic boom, and of course in this case, it caused quite a bit of damage in Russia."
Meteors typically cause sizeable sonic booms when they enter the atmosphere because they are traveling much faster than the speed of sound. Injuries on the scale reported Friday, however, are extraordinarily rare.
The fall caused explosions that broke glass over a wide area. Around 1,000 people reportedly sought treatment after the blasts and at least 34 of them were hospitalized.
Some meteorites, fragments of the meteor, fell in a reservoir outside the town of Cherbakul, the regional governor's office said, according to the ITAR-Tass news agency. It was not immediately clear if any people were struck by fragments.
Interior Ministry spokesman Vadim Kolesnikov said about 600 square meters (6000 square feet) of a roof at a zinc factory had collapsed. There was no immediate clarification of whether the collapse was caused by meteorites or by a shock wave from one of the explosions.
Reports conflicted on what exactly happened in the clear skies. A spokeswoman for the Emergency Ministry, Irina Rossius, told The Associated Press that there was a meteor shower, but another ministry spokeswoman, Elena Smirnikh, was quoted by the Interfax news agency as saying it was a single meteor.
Amateur video broadcast on Russian television showed an object speeding across the sky about 9:20 a.m. local time (0320 GMT), leaving a thick white contrail and an intense flash.
Some noted that the meteor hit less than a day before the asteroid 2012 DA14 is to make the closest recorded pass of an asteroid -- about 17,150 miles (28,000 kilometers).
"It's another sign that we kind of live in a shooting gallery," said CBS' Harwood. "It certainly is an eye opening event and quite a coincidence since as you know there is an asteroid flying by later today."
But the European Space Agency, in a post on its Twitter account, said its experts had determined there was no connection.
Small pieces of space debris, usually parts of comets or asteroids, that are on a collision course with the Earth are called meteoroids. When meteoroids enter the Earth's atmosphere they are called meteors. Most meteors burn up in the atmosphere, but if they survive the frictional heating and strike the surface of the Earth they are called meteorites.
Harwood told the Seattle's Morning News staff that these events happen pretty frequently, but we don't always see them.
"The world is 75 percent ocean, things come in over the ocean nobody sees it, or in a remote area. But every single day the scientists tell us more than 100 tons of material falls into earth's atmosphere," said Harwood.
The drama of this highly visible event prompted an array of reactions from prominent Russian political figures. Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, speaking at an economic forum in the Siberian city of Krasnoyarsk, said the meteor could be a symbol for the forum, showing that "not only the economy is vulnerable, but the whole planet."
Vladimir Zhirinovsky, the nationalist leader noted for vehement statements, said "It's not meteors falling, it's the test of a new weapon by the Americans," the RIA Novosti news agency reported.
Many at the scene didn't know how to react.
"People had no idea what was happening. Everyone was going around to people's houses to check if they were OK," said Sergey Hametov, a resident of Chelyabinsk, about 1500 kilometers (930 miles) east of Moscow, the biggest city in the affected region.
"We saw a big burst of light then went outside to see what it was and we heard a really loud thundering sound," he told The Associated Press by telephone.
Another Chelyabinsk resident, Valya Kazakov, said some elderly women in his neighborhood started crying out that the world was ending.
The Associated Press, and Max Seddon in Moscow contributed to this story.

Call it the revenge of the whales.
The Herald Gazette of Rockland, Maine reports Royal Caribbean has canceled a much-anticipated June call in the budding port town due to a new federal right whale regulation.
The news outlet says Royal Caribbean told officials Friday that the 2,446-passenger Grandeur of the Seas wouldn't be visiting as planned because of a recently announced federal restriction that limits vessels to no greater than 10 knots (11.5 miles) per hour in a protective area off Cape Cod. The ship would have had to transit the area to reach the town.

The Gazette says local businesses in Rockland and Camden, Maine had been planning a big welcome for what was to be one of the largest influxes of tourists to the area ever.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced the new restriction in December as a way to reduce ship strikes with right whales. Only around 350 northern right whales exist and ship strikes are one of the leading causes of death for the animals.
The restriction runs from March 1 to July 31.

Hey guys! twitter.com/twilight has released a little teaser for the trailer that will be released on thursday! take a look!
Hey guys! twitter.com/twilight has released a little teaser for the trailer that will be released on thursday! take a look!
Hey all,
Just wanted to clear up a little rumor making the rounds. I have absolutely no issues with anyone at Lionsgate. Far from being a negative thing, it's actually a very nice feeling to know that both Lionsgate and Summit would like to make another Twilight movie if I were ever to write another Twilight book. So, thanks for the support, Lionsgate and Summit. I look forward to working for the first time with new friends at Lionsgate and working again with my old friends at Summit!
The trailer for the fifth and final "Twilight" movie, "Breaking Dawn Part 2," will debut exclusively on "The Hunger Games" in March — the first significant example of synergy between Lions Gate Entertainment and its new subsidiary Summit Entertainment.
When the studio acquired Summit in January, Lions Gate executives touted the opportunities that would come from bringing together two of Hollywood's hottest young adult franchises. Because fans tend to get excited about seeing the first trailer for a highly anticipated sequel, Lions Gate is betting it can bring the huge base of "Twilight" fans to the opening weekend of "The Hunger Games," which debuts March 23.
"'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2′ trailer will debut exclusively on every 'Hunger Games' print on its opening night for what will be Lions Gate's largest release ever," Santa Monica-based Lions Gate's chief executive Jon Feltheimer said on a conference call with analysts Friday following the release of its financial results.
hey guys! here is a LOW QUALITY version of the clip shown at Target stores at midnight!

Hey Guys. So You May Have Seen a bunch of sites On the internet blacked out, or not working. this is because the congress in the US are proposing a bill (that may become a law) called SOPA which stands for "Stop Online Piracy Act" This means the government can shut down sites that have copyrighted material on it. This would shut down Google, Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook and other sites.

Created: 28/07/2011
I HAVE recently been contacted by an ex-junior of great experience and expertise who is now a highly successful breeder, exhibitor and judge in their own right. Their wish is for me to air an issue that they have come across while keeping the anonymity of those concerned, as it is the general issue not the specific circumstances that are important in this case.
The circumstances I have been told are that recently at a club show the finals of the junior handler of the year were held. There were three contenders, two girls showing male dogs and the third girl showing a bitch. However, the bitch, by the handler's own admission, was in full season. As you can imagine the handlers of the two males were unable to do a thing with them which had the result of handing the title on a plate to the girl showing the bitch. Now all three handlers are of an excellent standard and the bitch handler is more than capable of winning in her own right. She had apparently been offered another dog to show but preferred to stick with her usual charge. In fact the handler's family own at least two other dogs they show themselves.
So the question this raises which I've been asked to look at is: "Is there an unwritten rule about showing bitches in season in junior handling or is it just down to the handlers' discretion? I know that bitches are shown in season in single sex classes, but I do feel that it really is not sportsmanlike to show an in-season bitch in mixed classes. I was wondering if you could shed some light on the etiquette of showmanship in junior handling. Your thoughts through your column would be gratefully received."
Grey area
Well here goes. We are definitely back in the grey area here! There are no firm and fast rules, so in effect the handler is free to decide for themselves. This is exactly the same in breed competition, it is the exhibitors choice whether to show a bitch in season and if so in which circumstances. These can vary and you will find that there are different norms in different breeds. I suspect many would now quietly show an in season bitch at championship shows in single sex classes. These days with the cost of entries being so expensive and having to be made well in advance the temptation to show is taken probably more than was the case in the past. Of course, those who are campaigning males will still have quite a lot to say about this and you will hear the words greedy or selfish. Other breeds are often judged in the same ring, shows are held over more than one day and you still have the issues of being at the show during dog judging. Those of us who show regularly know all the arguments for and against.
So, with no clear cut policy to follow from breed perspective, where does that leave junior handlers? Technically in exactly the same place, it is the choice of the individual. However, my own personal view, and I hope I would be in the majority here, would be that this would be most unsportsmanlike. Handling is always judged as a mixed class and so the dogs are in the ring with the bitches, to show a bitch in these circumstances is hardly fair on any scale. I would hope that handlers wish to win on merit and not by default. How could a judge assess in this situation? Impossible, I would have said. When you add to this that other dogs were easily available I find the handler's actions even harder to understand. Unwritten rule or not I know where I stand on this one. Whatever you are doing in breed, in junior handling classes if your bitch is in season find yourself something else to handle or don't go in the class. I'm sorry if this sounds harsh but it is where I would stand on this one.

Reality Check On Key Mexican Unified Communications And Collaboration Solutions Markets
NEW YORK, March 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:
Reality Check on Key Mexican Unified Communications and Collaboration Solutions Markets
This research service analyzes the Mexican unified communications and collaboration solutions market. The market continues to grow within the context of the ongoing global recession. Increased awareness within the enterprise space coupled with an expanding distribution channel is helping to drive UC sales. The small and medium businesses space represents a high-growth opportunity for vendors and the channel, especially as hosted UC and collaboration solutions continue to gain acceptance. The study examines the following applications: traditional and IP telephony, unified messaging, videoconferencing endpoints solutions, on-premises e-mail server licenses, and unified clients. The base year is 2011, and the forecast period is 2012-2018.Executive summary •The Mexican unified communications (UC) and collaboration solutions market reached a revenue of $ xxmillion in 2011, representing a growth of xxpercent from the previous year. •The Internet protocol (IP) telephony segment was the largest revenue contributor, accounting for xxpercent of total market sales in 2011. •UC clients and videoconferencing solutions are expected to have the highest CAGR (from 2011 to 2018) of all of the segments covered in this study, with xpercent and xxpercent, respectively. •By 2018, the total market is expected to reach $ xxmillion in revenue, growing at a CAGR of xxpercent. •The market is dominated by three top participants—Avaya, Cisco, and Microsoft—which generate xxpercent of the total market revenue. •Frost & Sullivan considers the Mexican market to be one of the most mature in Latin America in terms of IP and UC; nevertheless, a knowledge gap remains and must be addressed to augment sales. •Many small and medium businesses (SMB) are unaware of the existence of IP and UC solutions, representing a large potential market around which vendors and channels should establish their strategies.

Discovery Special Improvement District
23 N. Fourth St.
Columbus OH 43215
SID Hotline: (614) 228-5718
Office: (614) 645-5133
Who we are
The Discovery Special Improvement District (SID) is a private sector corporation that was created in 2007 by property owners who wanted to improve the safety and image of the Discovery District neighborhood. The SID encompasses a 37 square block area on the east side of downtown that is generally bounded by I-670 to the north, Mound Street to the south, Fifth Street to the west and I-71 to the east.
Like other SIDs or BIDs (Business Improvement Districts), the Discovery SID is comprised of area property owners who agree to assess themselves in order to fund district-wide services. Property owners determine every aspect of the plan for services, including the types of services offered and length of term. Because a SID assessment is similar to a property tax, SIDs require legislative authorization by the local government.
Overview of Services
The SID employs uniformed safety ambassadors, special-duty police officers ,a homeless outreach specialist and a safety coordinator who links private security operations with one another and to the Division of Police, the municipal courts, social service agencies and other resources. The SID utilizes a holistic approach to crime prevention and the elimination of disorder. Supplemental safety services are provided Monday – Friday from 6:30 am – 2 am and from 8 am – 2 am on Saturday.
Other Services
Although the primary focus of the Discovery SID service plan is the provision of supplemental safety services, other services are also provided to the District. These services include:
- Environmental maintenance, including the removal of handbills and graffiti on public fixtures and the first floor of private property
- Capital improvements that make the district more appealing and interesting such as pedestrian kiosks, directional signage and landscaping
- Promotions through public relations and earned media and
- Member services designed to strengthen the cohesiveness of the District by improving communication among members and governmental or quasi-governmental agencies
Anyone wishing to request services in the District may do so by contatcing the SID's customer service hotline, 614-228-5718, or by logging onto downtowncolumbus.com and clicking on "service request" in the upper right hand corner of the web page.

Summary: The Honanki Indian Ruins are considered to be one of the finest ruins in the Sedona area.
Challenge Level: Easy
Hiking Distance: About 1/4 mile, 1/2 mile round trip
Trailhead Directions: From the "Y" (the intersection of State Route 89A and State Route 179), drive west on SR 89A about 3 miles and turn right on Dry Creek Road. Drive about 3 miles to the stop sign at the end of Dry Creek Road and turn left on Boynton Canyon Road. Drive about 1 1/2 miles to the next stop sign and turn left on to Boynton Pass Road. The first 2 miles is paved, turning in to a gravel road after. Drive 4 miles to a stop sign and turn right on to FR 525. After about 0.1 miles take the left fork of FR 525 and continue for another 4 1/2 miles to the parking area at GPS coordinates: 34° 56.193' N; 111° 56.078' W.
Description: The Pink Jeep Company manages The Honanki site so there aren't any volunteers or rangers stationed there (like at Palatki) and you are on your own to wander through the site. There is a metal rail fence to keep unauthorized folks out but you are very close to the structures. You may have some Jeep tours going through the site at the time you are there. The Pink Jeep Company asks that you not interfere with the tours.

Nedra is a consultant, author and speaker who uses social marketing to promote health and social issues for nonprofits and public agencies at Weinreich Communications.Email me
I got in touch with the very busy Brian to ask him some questions about what he has been doing with the blog and other social media, and he was kind enough to find some time to answer my questions.
- I look forward to the speedy return of this resource, one of the best direct information outlets in the entire city. I have written about the LAFD blog in my blog, as have many others and it is seen as a great, respected resource by many.
- Please bring the blog back soon, I feel closer to my community and Los Angeles with this blog, and have never felt so before. If there is anything we citizens can do to make it happen, I am there to help!
- As a LAFD CERT [Ed. - Community Emergency Response Team] Member, I too love reading this blog which keeps us in the loop of what is going around the city. At a recent CERT meeting other members were also bummed out to hear about the blog hiatus....It's a great source of information.
Pleased to see marketers embrace medium, in a fashion that demonstrates their understanding of social marketing. As is the case in Dell's recent release of IdeaStorm a community driven blog, where customers tell Dell how to make them buy more. More organizations are exploring the merits Web.20 technologies, including internet tv, podcasting, blogs and online communities, as the numbers deliver.I say, too bad Evolusent doesn't demonstrate their own understanding of social marketing.
Titled Cute with Chris, a new three-minute video blog is using often-irreverent humor to target pet lovers, urging them to save homeless animals in Los Angeles, according to Three Minds.
"Cute" also invites viewers to submit pics of animals to be featured on the show, which also partners with the L.A.-based Glendale Humane Society to allow fans to adopt a pet of their own.
The video blog is optimizing its viewership by being available on all the major web destinatoins: in addition to the video blog site, episodes can also be viewed on MySpace and iTunes.

The American Lung Assocation, Health Advocates Against Marijuana (H.A.R.M.), several non-profit agencies and local PTAs are staging a sit-in at corporate headquarters to protest this commercial.No information on when the sit-in is happening, though it was generally mentioned in a recent news story about the organizations' demand that the commercial be pulled. According to the report, their main concern is that the commercial promotes pot smoking. My issue has always been with the fact that the commercial shows someone driving under the influence of drugs.
JITB promised viewers last fall they would stop airing this particular commercial. Yet it came back with the SuperBowl and is seen nightly on local channels.
Interesting,considering Jack in the Box's own code of conduct (p. 4, 15, 16)
Contact JITB and let them know that drug use is not "humorous" as they claim.

In order to be rewarded with the "Record like an idol at a recording studio in Los Angeles, California" reward, one needs to procure and redeem 41,600 points which would necessitate the consumption of 49,920 bottles of Coca Cola Product which, in the case of a non-diet product containing sugar, would give rise to the necessity to consume approximately 7,238,400 calories, which, in turn, would cause a human being to gain during the life span of the program approximately 2,068 pounds. On a daily basis, a participant would be required to consume one hundred fifty-one (151) 12-ounce bottles of Coca Cola, being a lethal consumption of the product.
Friend: California is beautiful, but I could never live there. I'm terrified of earthquakes.I'm not trying to rub it in for those of you on the East Coast, but trying to make a point about our perceptions of risk.
Me: Yes, but you have winter. Many more people die every year from snow and ice-related car crashes than from an earthquake. And you know for sure that snow is going to happen at least several times a year. It could be a decade before another big earthquake hits.
Friend: I'll take my chances.
Me [basking in warm sunny February weather]: Me too.
The elements include:This list would be quite helpful in identifying appropriate bloggers to include in a PR campaign with a social media component. Any one of the indicators of blogger influence by itself would not necessarily provide a full enough picture of whom to target when you need to narrow down what can be resource-intensive outreach. But combine two or more (or all) of these and you will see the degree of influence become clearer.
- Affiliation of blog writer(s)
- Number of links to the blog
- Number of feed subscriptions
- Search engine results position for relevant keyword searches
- Last update
- Industry mentions/lists of top blogs
- Inclusion in Technorati Blog Directory and other online directories
- Discussion Analysis – true discussion or bantering
In English-language, US-centric content, we can generally start the process of identifying potential candidates via search; usually either Technorati, Google or Google Blogs. Then we can refine down into highly linked sites ("most authority" in Technorati lingo).
Social proof can be a powerful marketing tool. If you can get your customers to vouch for your product (or at least make it look like they are) and find a way to advertise it to your potential customers your job as a marketer becomes a lot easier. People don't want to feel left out and often look to others when making decisions they are unsure of. By being aware of social proof and taking actions to leverage it you can be there when people are looking around to others when trying make a purchase decision.To bring this back to the discussion on influential bloggers, social proof plays a big role in how topics are covered in the blogosphere. When one or more influential bloggers writes about a particular news story or issue, that often sets off a flurry of other posts because the topic has been validated as being important. One influential blogger can provide the social proof that an idea or product has merit, paving the way for many others to adopt it as well.
"The GM ad is insensitive to the tens of millions of people who have lost loved ones to suicide," said Robert Gebbia, the group's executive director, in a statement issued on Wednesday. "The ad also suggests a troubling and potentially dangerous message: that suicide is a logical and rational decision should one experience failure or lose their job."The Snickers commercial featuring two guys accidentally kissing also got pulled after many complaints, including from the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation and the Matthew Shepard Foundation, that it was homophobic.
The brain scan data indicates that advertisers went over the top on trying to develop edgy, attention grabbing content at the expense of achieving a positive communication effect for the advertised brand. As I tell my students, attention is a necessary but not sufficient condition for an ad to have a positive effect on the target. The FMRI data reported on this year's superbowl ads indicated that several of the ads evoked very strong response in the Amygdala, an area of the brain responsible for processing threat and anxiety, but very little activity in other areas. Apparently, stimuli that evoke a strong response in the Amygdala are likely to be memorable but the memory is NEGATIVE! Not exactly the best effect for a client who just spent 2.6 million dollars placing a superbowl ad!!! The brand that "wins" the award for demonstrating this negative effect....drum roll please.....Snickers (2 men kissing ad). This ad evoked the strongest Amygdala response in viewers with little other activity in other brain areas.This sounds about right to me, and I would suspect that the suicidal robot ad also evoked similar brain responses -- lots of feelings of threat and anxiety.
With gaming console Nintendo Wii's initial release came reports of people hurting muscles and experiencing soreness due to the physical exertion caused by playing virtual games such as bowling, tennis and baseball. Apparently, that was just one side of the coin.
At first, Nintendo dodged the reports of injuries, saying the Wii was not meant to be an exercise tool. However, that hasn't stopped people like Michael DeLorenzo from losing nine pounds in six weeks thanks to the Wii, according to Time magazine. DeLorenzo has a book deal in the works about his Wii Workout and he's teamed up with Traineo.com, a social fitness networking site to feature his new regime.
Even more amazing is that the Wii is now being used by medical researchers to treat children who suffer from hemiplegic cerebral palsy, a condition that can paralyze one side of the body. The Wii is also helping others bounce back from illness.
Breast cancer sufferer Mary Jane Zamora was too tired to get off the couch, but her daughters brought over a Wii and together they played Wii Sports daily. Zamora has since become the most-improved player in her bowling league.
With studies showing that active videogames, such as the Wii and Sony's EyeToy, can burn three times more calories than traditional games, Nintendo has since embraced the phenomenon. "This huge fitness craze was more than we anticipated," said Wii spokeswoman Perrin Kaplan.
Perhaps now is the time for health and fitness experts to partner with Nintendo to develop more games geared toward getting players moving aerobically without realizing they are exercising.

A billboard went up above Cafe Flore in the Castro today (Thursday, February 1) and newspaper advertisements will run all month. The ads are pretty much blank except for text in red ink that reads "(your ideas here)" over a white background. In yellow text the ads ask, "What should we do about METH [sic] in our community?"
The public is then asked to send its "advice, experiences and opinions" to the Web site http://www.sfmeth.org. [The new Web site went live February 1.]
The health department has budgeted $185,000 for the meth campaign, but will not know the total cost for it until the final concept is selected. The billboard alone is costing about $15,000 for the month.
Both Tracey Packer, the department's interim HIV prevention director, and Les Pappas, owner of the ad agency, insisted the approach is not a response to the criticism in recent months of the previous campaigns.
"We definitely, if there are people out there that have ideas and opinions about this, we want to give them an opportunity or method to participate. I know there are some people who probably feel like there isn't enough participation in the development of these kinds of things," said Pappas. "We have a lot of people involved in these projects but nobody really knows about it. This will make it very clear we are interested in people's opinions."
Packer said she wanted to ask for the public's ideas "because the issue of meth in a campaign is not simple and straightforward."
"We would like to see what community members have to say. What should be said about meth use?" asked Packer. "We really hope community members respond to us and it will build a better campaign by getting community input."
With four companies using consumer-generated ads in the SuperBowl on Sunday (NFL, Doritos, Alka Seltzer & Chevrolet), Better World seems to want to get into the act. Not to mention that this approach hinges upon community participation -- something that the ad agency has been criticized for not taking into account in past campaigns.
Is this a good way to create social marketing campaigns? Can citizen marketers be effective in reducing HIV risk during meth use, or is it something that should be limited to less important products like marketing movies or cars?
I think the answer is not clearcut. The approach they are taking seems more like conducting a citywide focus group than like the commercial CGM campaigns linked above that solicited actual ads. They are not leaving the strategy or execution to the whims of the public, but perhaps will get some new ideas from people within the target audience. The risk they take with this approach is that it is not yet seen as a legitimate or accepted form of marketing by many (and especially by public agencies not used to being on the cutting edge).
Supervisor Bevan Dufty called it a waste of money and makes the city, which established a task force on crystal meth almost two years ago, seem stupid and lacking a plan.
"I am dumbfounded," said Dufty after being shown the ads. "It begs the question if we have had a task force operating for two years why would we pay for a billboard that makes it seem we have no ideas or suggestions?"
The key to the campaign will be in how well Better World is able to combine the input they receive from the community with best practices in social marketing. Just because someone has what seems like an innovative or interesting idea does not mean that it will be effective in bringing about behavior change. People love to throw out cute slogans, but a catchphrase does not a strategy make. We'll see what is rolled out in June, when the final campaign is supposed to be ready. I wish them luck in sorting through the submissions and turning them into an effective campaign.

Just a few days ago, Metta World Peace complained that Mike Brown wasn't playing him enough because Brown is "a stats guy" and that "stats are for people who need stats." Clearly, World Peace doesn't need stats, as he told CBS Sports' Ken Berger:
"If I could count how many times another team went away from the best player when I was on him, I've got to be like No. 1 in the league," World Peace said. "That's not a stat, and coach doesn't … you would have to play basketball to feel that. When Phil Jackson was here, that's why I was in the game, because he understands that."
Interpreted for clarity — "Mike Brown doesn't play me because he's a nerd who never played professional basketball and doesn't understand that what I bring to the table can't be measured by stats." It's a very roundabout, passive-aggressive way of throwing your coach under the bus. Very Lakers of him.
But Mike Brown is not to be deterred. No sir. When one of his players criticizes him for being too stats-focused, he just doubles down on the stats. From the AP:
"If I were him, I'd be frustrated, too," Brown said. "I told him: `I don't take anything personally. I'm OK with it. But if was a stats guy, Metta, you wouldn't be playing at all. I mean, look at your stats. And Synergy says you're the 192nd-best defensive player in the league. So if I was just a stats guy, the guy who should be playing at the small forward spot is Devin Ebanks — because he's shooting better than you or Matt (Barnes)."'
What a great comeback. He takes Metta World Peace's criticisms and uses them as a very sharp zinger, like some sort of tai chi insult master.
There's nowhere World Peace could take this because Brown is saying, "Yeah, I use stats a lot but even when they say you're terrible, I still play you." What can you say to that? Flawless victory for Mike Brown.
Of course, even though Mike Brown proved to be a wise zingster, this is still a coach and his player fighting about playing time in the media. That's not the best thing for a team that is trying to figure out how to win games in a tough, tough conference. But still, when you have that sort of crack in your arsenal, you have to use it.
After all, Mike Brown wouldn't want to deprive us of the hilarity of showing that a guy who thinks he's the best defensive player is really the 192nd-best, would he? Of course not.

I'm frothing at the mouth a bit after reading this article, Have the Feds Gone Soft on Porn? There was so much wrong with it, and I decided to re-post my comment on the article (with the relevant excerpts). Please comment at the article; happily, most of the commenters already tend to advocate free speech and diverse sexuality, but every little bit helps.
Hughes chats with "Justin, 16," who freely admits to having a porn addiction problem. She asks whether the girls he eventually did have sex with were anything like the ones he saw in the videos. "No, ma'am. The girls in real life are nothing like in pornography,"
Lubben described how her porn career left her with incurable herpes, papilloma virus, and ultimately cervical cancer.
Gag Factor and their ilk, [Gail Dines] added, are now the main source of sex education for boys.
2 Responses to "Oh, Mother Jones. WTF?"
Its no surprise this kind of hit piece is in Mother Jones, long ago that magazine abandoned the principles of its namesake.
A quick look shows the authors articles are mostly pro-democrat party talking points, if a republican were in power the author I am sure would write a piece on the government infringing on the liberties of some do gooder sex ed/porn producer.
Elections coming up? Check.
Republicans reminding people that they're the misogyny thinly disguised as religion party? Check.
Business as usual as soon as the election is over? Probably.

Submitted: 11/23/2012
Hustisford, WI
- Several petting zoo animals were killed when a southeastern Wisconsin home caught fire early this morning.
The Hustisford house was completely on fire when crews arrived.
One of the people who lived in the home operated a traveling petting zoo for children.
Several of the animals for the zoo were kept in the house, and are believed to have died in the fire. Firefighters think a wood burner might have started the fire.
The house was completely destroyed.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

It was a thrill for me last summer when I had the chance to sit down with best-selling author, entrepreneur and teacher, Gifford Pinchot III. For someone like me who has been an entrepreneur and who now works at the foundation for entrepreneurs, to meet the legend who actually coined the term "intrapreneurship" was a real treat. During our visit, I had the chance to ask Gifford about the motivation that led to the publishing of his best-selling book, Intrapreneuring: Why You Don't Have to Leave the Corporation to Become an Entrepreneur, in 1985.

Topic Outline
Retroperitoneal fibrosis, also referred to as Ormond's disease, is an uncommon but treatable cause of obstructive uropathy. This disorder involves chronic inflammation and fibroblast proliferation, with excessive extracellular matrix deposition. Untreated patients may develop severe complications or progress to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) [1].
Retroperitoneal fibrosis is also sometimes associated with venous or arterial occlusion due to compression, or abdominal aortic aneurysms, if in the setting of chronic periaortitis. In addition to medical therapy for the retroperitoneal fibrosis, these situations may require endovascular or surgical management. The management of these issues requires consultation with the appropriate specialists. (See "Clinical manifestations and diagnosis of retroperitoneal fibrosis".)
The treatment of idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis is reviewed here. The clinical manifestations, pathogenesis, and diagnosis of this disorder are presented separately. (See "Clinical manifestations and diagnosis of retroperitoneal fibrosis".)
The goals of therapy are to relieve the obstruction caused by fibrosis, stop the progression of the fibrotic process, and prevent recurrence.
If the retroperitoneal fibrosis is due to a secondary cause (table 1), treatment is aimed at the underlying etiology. If the disease is idiopathic, we initiate immunosuppressive therapy.

Good Firepower In A Small Package
By Baltimore Prepper
2014-06-07 12:10:13
The portable size is excellent for backpack portability; and the rated 700fps power makes this PCP a good choice for small game (squirrel/rabbit) hunting!
After watching many You-Tube varmint hunting/rabbit hunting videos, I plan to add a high-speed camera and mount to my Woods Walker.
I have bragged about this product to all my coworkers/friends!
Great for what it is
By Dr Squirrel
2014-05-24 23:02:11
But this is a fun little gun. Got rid of the red dot and put on a nicer Leopold scope. Can shoot dime size groups at 50 yards after a 150 shot break-in period with Crosman Premiers hollow points.
Got my first few kills with it, but I must say, it just doesn't have the power to put down a squirrel at anything beyond 50 yards. You can tell by the sound the pellet makes when it hits the squirrel. It's a low power thud, compared to my Marauder 25 cal Rifle's higher powered "THWACK!
Overall, a great backyard friendly gun with a killing power if you keep it within its limits.
5 stars for what its made for.
Not for use with Raccoon's
By Precision Shooter
2013-11-11 13:18:29
I enjoy the Crosman pellets for their accuracy, and use them pretty much exclusively, however they have to come out of a gun meant for, and capable of a one shot kill.
I am in the market for this exact pistol, however it would only be for squirrels, within 75'. Try killing an elephant with a .22 center fire, and see how that works,same situation here.

Document Type Master's Dissertation Author Koorts, Casper-Cobus URN etd-01122007-104851 Document Title Management elements of organisational re-engineering Degree M Eng (Industrial Engineering) Department Industrial and Systems Engineering Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Mr P J Conradie Committee Chair Keywords
- re-engineering (management)
- organizational change
Date 2000-04-01 Availability unrestricted AbstractThis dissertation is an examination of the Business Process Re-engineering (BPR) philosophy. The dissertation approach is to analyse the BPR philosophy through segmenting it into seven critical elements. These are elements that needs to be in place to ensure BPR success. Some of the critical elements are sub-components of BPR, while some others, such as the Balanced Scorecard and Project Management, are similar management philosophies that compliment the BPR approach. The seven elements examined are:
1. The identification of Economic Value Adding opportunities of Business Process Re¬engineering.
2. Aligning Business Process Re-engineering initiatives with organisational strategy by means of the Balanced Scorecard.
3. The utilisation of Best Practices and Benchmarks during the Business Process Re-engineering effort.
4. The utilization of Best Practices and Benchmarks during the Business Process Re-engineering effort.
5. Project Management techniques applicable to Business Process Re-engineering projects.
6. Implementation Drivers that helps ensure the success of Business Process Re-engineering.
7. Capturing of Business Process Re-engineering designs in Business Architectures.
By no means are these the only elements involved in BPR, but it does form an essential structure for it. None of these elements are ground breaking new research subjects, although most of them are very topical in the business world at the turn of the millennium, and some are still going through growth pains in terms of practical validation. The scope of explanation for these BPR elements is kept at a practical and understandable level, with some deep drills into detail. The main objective of this dissertation is to offer a group of elements that can be used as a whole, or as selective tools during any type of Business Process Re-engineering effort.
All these elements will be referenced against experiences from the industry in the form of an actual Business Process Re-engineering project that incorporated all these elements and results from their use. The dissertation deliverable is a usable composition of elements, or a BPR toolbox that can be used by Business Process Re-engineering practitioners as an aid in their efforts.

Death Rides the Zephyr: Available Now!
Credit: Charles Lucke
Death Rides the Zephyr. It's coming down the track.
December 1952. The California Zephyr pulls out of Oakland headed for Chicago. Zephyrette Jill McLeod hopes for an uneventful run. But the Silver Lady's passenger list includes mayhem—and murder.
The original California Zephyr was a streamliner, a sleek train that ran from the Bay Area to Chicago, beginning in 1949 and ending in 1970. It was called the CZ or the Silver Lady because the cars were constructed of stainless steel and they all had "silver" in their names.
The Silver Lady was a joint operation of three railroads. The Western Pacific took the CZ over the Sierra Nevada and through the Great Basin to Salt Lake City. The Denver & Rio Grande Western ran the train through the Rockies to Denver. From there the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy took the train to Chicago.
The Silver Solarium. Credit: Janet Dawson
The CZ's Vista-Domes provided passengers with a 360-degree view of the spectacular scenery. The route took the train through the Sierra Nevada's beautiful Feather River Canyon. In the Rocky Mountains, the tracks ran along the Colorado River for over 200 miles, through some amazing canyons.
The Silver Lady was also known for its amenities and level of service provided to passengers. In addition to the male crew members—engineer, brakemen, conductor, stewards, porters and the like—the California Zephyr had a woman hostess known as a Zephyrette.
Get ready for suspense and intrigue as Zephyrette Jill MacLeod and the crew of the Silver Lady take a trainload of passengers for the ride of their lives.
Death Rides the Zephyr is published by Perseverance Press. You can read an excerpt and order it from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, IndieBound and Perseverance Press.
Read Janet's post at the Dames of Dialogue blog.
"Death Rides the Zephyr brings the golden age of rail travel back to thrilling life while providing more twists and turns than an express ride through the Sierra Nevadas. If you have a taste for mysteries or history, it's a trip you won't want to miss!"
—Steve Hockensmith, author of Holmes on the Range
"Through a trip onboard the California Zephyr Janet Dawson takes the reader back to the 1950s and does an admirable job of capturing the spirit of a time when World War II was a recent memory and the Korean War was an all-too-vivid reality. . . Dawson has a fine eye for the details of life aboard the Zephyr and creates an intriguing cast of characters whose interactions mirror the surprising twists and turns the train takes as it crosses the Colorado Rockies. Death Rides the Zephyr is an engrossing and suspenseful adventure. Readers will be thrilled to take the ride."
—Judith Van Gieson, author of the Neil Hamel and Claire Reynier mystery series
"Death Rides the Zephyr is an entertaining tale... [that] captures nuances of a transcontinental train trip in the early '50s."
—Railfan & Railroad
"With a nod to Agatha Christie, Dawson has created a stand-alone historical that's perfect for Western Collections with its detailed descriptions of the mid-century train routes through the Sierras and the Rockies. Her stately pacing and elaborate attention to clues make this a must-purchase for any library with historic-train aficionados."
—Library Journal
"Fascinating... Dawson writes so convincingly, she could have been a Zephyrette."
—Mysterious Women
"This historical mystery is really a love song to a bygone way of life, when the luxury train known as the California Zephyr was in its heyday... the real star is the train, which is lovingly described, from its layout to its ingenious bedrooms to its cuisine. That's worth the price of admission."
—Roberta Alexander, Oakland Tribune
"An engrossing murder mystery... settle back and enjoy the ride."
"If you are a railroad buff, you will truly enjoy Death Rides the Zephyr... Makes me want to make reservations for my own trip."
