Iloilo City ready for Batang Pinoy Games
-A A +ATuesday, November 27, 2012
ILOILO City, together with the Iloilo Provincial Government and the Department of Education, are all set to host the 2012 Philippine Youth Games popularly known as Batang Pinoy (BP) on December 5-8.
Around 1,778 athletes and sports official from 130 local government units in the country are expected to participate in the event.
Spearheaded and organized by the Philippine Sports Commission (PSC), the games for local government unit (LGU)-based 15 years old and below, mostly from the elementary grades, will present sports action in 14 sports disciplines.
The competition will be on arnis, archery, athletics, swimming, basketball, badminton, chess, table tennis, lawn tennis, boxing, karatedo, taekwondo, wushu and triathlon.
PSC commissioner Jollie Gomez said the revival of BP will focus on talent identification in the grassroots. The BP is looking for those qualified to be enrolled in the proposed regional sports academy.
BP also plans to adopt athletes for further training earmark to compete in the 2019 Southeast Asian Games, he said.
Gomez said the BP was revived two years ago, and was only revived last year in Naga City upon the recommendation of the late Local Government Secretary Jesse Robredo.
He said Iloilo City is a perfect venue for the games, with it having several sports venues and covered gymnasiums, augmented by billeting schools mobilized to accommodate the athletes and sports officials.
Iloilo City will be fielding a total of 258 composed of 227 athletes and 31 coaches, while Iloilo province will have 141 athletes, 28 coaches and 5 officials.
The National Capital Region will have 250 athletes, 65 coaches and 27 officials; Northern Luzon with 271 athletes, 57 coaches and 26 officials; Southern Luzon with 249 athletes, 60 coaches and 22 officials; and Mindanao with 232 athletes, 62 coaches and 25 officials.
Expected to arrive during the opening ceremonies are PSC chairman Reggie Garcia and Senator Pia Cayetano. Iloilo City Mayor will also invite other government officials and sports enthusiasts to the games. (LCP)

See more very helpful information under the general category of auto-immune diseases.
Crohn's disease is one of a number of conditions under the general category of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Crohn's is an inflammation or series of inflammations that can occur anywhere along the gastrointestinal tract from the oral cavity to the anus. Often there are multiple separate locations (skip lesions) affected. The inflammation is in the lining and extends deep into the walls of the intestinal tract.
It is considered by most to be an auto-immune disease and there are some reasons to believe it may be genetic.
Symptoms vary greatly from person to person but may include diarrhea, abdominal discomfort or pain, vomiting, weight loss. Discomfort often comes in episodes and may be triggered by stress, insufficient fluids, inadequate nutrition, allergic reaction to certain foods, or just not eating properly (gulping a meal down, eating on the run, etc.).

Now With Style
I spent some time playing with Alex King's WP Style Switcher plugin this evening. The result is there in the navigation menu, a section called styles. Click an item in that list and this site will get a fresh coat of paint. Very groovy indeed! What a great resource for those new to WP or those who, like me, have little artistic talent but would like to use something other than the default style. Not only does Alex provide the plugin to allow style switching but he also hosts an archive of styles by him and others. Check it out and keep up with the latest additions via the RSS feed.

In our tableted world, it's only a matter of time before a multimedia magazine with embedded videos and animations and music and all becomes all the rage and changes our culture forever. Just like they did when CD-ROMs were all the rage*…only those were just ahead of the platform curve. Eisner- and Harvey Award-nominated artist Mike Perkins emailed us to explain that he has a 6-page comic strip in one such magazine, Apparatjik World, which has a preview issue available for free download on the iPad. This one centers around the band Apparatjik, which consists of bassist Guy Berryman from Coldplay, guitarist/keyboardist Magne Furuholmen from A-ha, singer/guitarist Jonas Bjerre of Mew and producer Martin Terefe.
DC Digital: The day dawns clear on the middle of the end
After a hurricane, the sun usually comes out resulting in sparkling skies for the clean-up. As the East Coast attempts to clean up and dry off from a storm that could have been much worse (but was still pretty bad in spots) we wake up to a fairly epochal week in the history of comics. Because the internet wasn't around, we didn't know that the 1980 arrival of SUPERBOY SPECTACULAR or DAZZLER #1 — the first comics produced by DC and Marvel that were direct market-only — would mark the beginning of a whole new era for the comics industry, and — despite the protestations of imminent death at every turn — usher in a era of undreamed of creative fertility and energy.
Wednesday at 12:01 am the new era begins. Not the era of the New 52 — despite any declarations to the contrary, that's really business as usual, just jump started in the manner of a car battery. No, it's the era of digital comics. While everyone has been transfixed over whether GREEN LANTERN by Geoff Johns, Doug Mahnke and Christian Alamy will be better than GREEN LANTERN by Geoff Johns, Doug Mahnke and Christian Alamy; or how Tony Daniels' DETECTIVE COMICS is going to vastly improve on his Batman comics, the real revolution has quietly been dawning on retailers and readers: DC's decision to go with simultaneous digital and print release of their comics.
Sure Reddit liked it, but what did Scott McCloud think?
That Korean horror comic we linked to yesterday had everyone buzzing or else pooping their pants, but you know, future comics aren't future comics until Scott McCloud weighs in — which he did on Google+.
FutureComics #2: eerie Korean comic
This interactive comic from Korea has blown up on 4Chan and Tumblr, although its author remains unknown. Just click and then scroll down. KEEP GOING. KEEP GOING. And make sure the speakers are on!
JUST CLICK WE'LL WAIT, in the unlikely event you have yet to see this.
FutureComics #1: Dan Archer's interactive Nisoor Square comic
While we're all waiting for the other shoe to drop on the New 52, digital comics are inching towards new developments that may make them even more native on digital platforms. A couple of examples were being tweeted about heavily this week.
Cartoonist Dan Archer has been experimenting with interactive non-fiction comics for a while. What is Comics Journalism? by Dan Archer, a survey of non-fiction comics from Thomas Nast on. It's a nice looking piece but comes with bells and whistles:
Comics, comics shops and digital
Warren Ellis and D'Israeli's SVK sells out
We've been remiss in not saying more about SVK and experimental comic that design group BERG hired Warren Ellis and artist D'Israeli to produce. The comic can only be read in full with a special UV lamp which reveals key elements of the art. Cool! The comic is only available through BERG and it's already sold out of 3500 copies. A second printing is on the way, however.
Remember when they said you couldn't take your computer into the toilet?
Future Comics: Hobo Lobo
Webcomics are moving forward with more experimentation on the infinite canvas of the browser, and taking new and unforeseen shapes. Here's one by Stevan Živadinović called "Hobo Lobo" that's a sidescroller/multi-plane retelling of the Pied Piper tale. Apparently this doesn't work on Explorer (what does?) but it worked on my decrepit and senile computer, so…happy scrolling!
Thought for the day: Tim Hodler on Tokyopop
Industry Movers School Ya
Art schools and apprenticeships find themselves more popular than ever, let's all tip our hats to inspiration artist Rudolph Töpffer's for his creation of boarding school for boys. While anyone can teach themselves and become successful on their own, a lot of the specialty schools allow access to equipment, connections, mentorship of working professionals and opportunities in a condensed amount of time that are priceless.
The way forward with webcomics tech
The other day comics/tech guru Scott McCloud posted examples of two webcomics using current navigation techniques to give advanced motion and storytelling effects. One, Turbo Defiant Kimecan (top) uses Flash to allow readers to time the appearance of panels and balloons. Never Mind the Bullets (bottom) uses HTML 5 to gives kind of "motion comics-y" floating animation. As McCloud points out, both are just examples, not role models — Never Mind the Bullets suggested we download IE9, which was an immediate fail. The comments are unkind:

MONTICELLO — A 20-year-old Indiana man was being held Saturday in connection with the stabbing deaths of his mother and his young half-sister, which rattled a quiet lakefront community.
Michelle Haskins, 47, managed to phone 911 before she died from her wounds after being stabbed about 1:23 a.m. in her home near Monticello, about 25 miles northeast of Lafayette, Indiana State Police said. Seven-year-old Jillian Haskins was also stabbed and was taken to White County Memorial Hospital in Monticello, where she was pronounced dead.
Michelle Haskins' son, David Scott Rodenbarger, was being held without bond Saturday in White County Jail on a preliminary charge of murder.
Prosecutor Robert Guy said he would meet with investigators Monday to discuss formal charges. He declined to say whether Rodenbarger had a criminal record or a record of mental illness, but did say both possibilities were being investigated.
State police did not discuss what motive Rodenbarger might have had. They said the investigation is ongoing and they will release more information as it becomes available.
Guy said police searched the home where the stabbings occurred and a vehicle connected to Rodenbarger on Saturday morning. He did not disclose what they found.
The sleepy neighborhood on the shores of Lake Freeman has about 30 homes, most of which are summer homes that are unoccupied during winter. Neighbors said the home where the Haskins lived was a rental.
"It's quiet here," Debbie Cetera, who has lived in the neighborhood for 18 years, told the newspaper. "It's so sad."
Superintendent Tom Fletcher said Jillian was a student in the Twin Lakes school district, but he did not say which school she attended or what grade she was in. He said he planned to meet with the principal, guidance counselors and possibly the girl's teacher Sunday.
"When something like this happens to one of our kids, it is like a death in the family for the school," he said. "We will do everything possible to comfort and help our other students, teachers and parents through this most difficult time."

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Manix!
Facts about Manix
- Breed: Boxer
- Color: Brindle
- Age: Young
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Manix's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, purebred, in need of an experienced adopter, up to date with shots, good with kids, and not good with cats.
Meet Manix, a 3 year old male that is being surrendered to rescue as he needs training and his current owners do not have the time to work with him on this. Manix is a bit anxious and can sometimes be reactive when meeting other dogs and people. He has not bitten anyone and he doesn't lunge at people or dogs in an aggressive way, he just gets anxious. Manix lives with a female Boxer and gets along with her nicely. Manix is very food motivated which will be helpful with his training. Manix will need to go to a training class that uses positive training methods. He knows some basic commands. He is also living with a 7 year old child and does well around her however because we don't know him that well, we'll be looking to place him in a home with older children (12+). Also, he has no history with cats so we'll want to place him in a home without cats.
Manix is crate trained and pulls when he walks as he is currently not walked much at all. The current owners have not socialized Manix much because of his "reactiveness". We'll need a strong leader that is dog savvy to take Manix in and help him, through positive methods, to become a better mannered Boxer. Overall, Manix is a sweet, loveable boy that just needs a home that is willing to make the commitment and work with him.
Other Pets at The Boxer Rescue, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Manix, a Grafton Boxer dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Boxer for sale in Grafton, or seeking a Boxer dog from a breeder in Grafton.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Grafton already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Grafton breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Boxer breeders who help with Boxer rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Grafton paves the way for another one to be saved.

Hey Seventeen readers. It's Kim here. Hope your workout is going great. It's week 2. We're heading into week 3. So, hope you're going strong and doing everything you can. I wanted to show you my vision board which is still kind of in the works. You know, when I go through magazines, I like to just hunt whatever I really like intrigues me or I think is gonna motivate me to work out, so so far this is what I have. I put it on a push pin board. I think that's what it's called. It looks kind of like this. I'm gonna read you this, which is actually found in the magazine, which is the little statement where you say I love this certain aspect of yourself and then wearing a something makes me feel beautiful and confident. So I'm gonna read you mine. Mine says I love my curves and wearing a big smile makes me feel beautiful and confident. So, that's what I personally believe about myself. So I'm gonna through each thing. This is actually a quote from my first video that I shared with you guys. This is Joan Baez and it's a quote. If you want me to read it again, it's "You don't get to choose how you're going to die or when, but you can decide how you're going to live now," which I think is a really powerful quote. And then, I have this easy tone advertisement. The lady with the legs and she's like really toned legs and that's what I'm aspiring to have, like really nice toned legs, of course fitting to my body, not necessarily what's on the advertisement. And then also I have like little catch phrases or words. I have this star which I don't know, kind of makes me feel like a little confident, powerful. Then I also have winning no pun intended when I say winning, but winning, you know, because I'm winning. And then I have power which, you know, of course, makes me feel a little bit more powerful, motivated to work out and everything. And then I have one of my style inspirations which is Kim Kardashian right here. I love her style and especially since she has curves like I do. I usually look forward to like looking out what kind of like, you know, fashion she wears or like someone like Beyonce or Rihanna who have curves that I could kind of relate to. If you haven't done your vision board yet, you could always take an afternoon now that summer's had, you know, coming up you can take some time out, do a fun activity during the day. What I did was I took all my old magazines. I have the majority of the Seventeen magazines. So I have a stock like but this is not even half of what I have of magazines. But just seek some magazines and flip through the pages and find stuff that you find inspirational or something that will find you-- something that will get you motivated to work out and you could put it on your board and everything. What I would love for you guys to do especially is to do the little statement where it says, "I love my blank and wearing a blank makes me feel beautiful and confident." And put it on a nice little, you know, paper and put it in the middle because that's the statement that's made especially for you. So, I just wanna show you guys my vision board and hopefully you guys have your vision boards done already, or if you haven't, you could get them done now and then it will keep you motivated throughout your workout. Then, you know, make you feel really motivated and confident, so. Yup. So, I'll see you guys next time. Bye.

Acupressure May Help Dementia Patients
Regular acupressure treatment helps reduce agitated behavior in dementia patients, according to a small study by Taiwanese researchers.
Acupressure involves the application of pressure to certain points of the body.
This study of 20 dementia patients found that 15-minute acupressure sessions given twice a day, five days a week, led to noticeable improvements, including reduced wandering and less verbal and physical aggression.
During the sessions, each of five key pressure points was pressed for two minutes using three to five kilograms of pressure. The sessions lasted for four weeks. After the end of that treatment period, patient agitation levels started to increase again. That suggests that dementia patients require acupressure therapy on an ongoing basis, the researchers said.
The study is published in the February issue of the Journal of Clinical Nursing.
The findings have "important implications for the future care of dementia patients," study co-author Professor Li-Chan Lin, of the Institute of Clinical Nursing at National Yang-Ming University, said in a prepared statement. According to Lin, the study shows that acupressure "provides an effective option that, following training, can be carried out at home or in long-term care facilities."
"Agitated behavior in people with dementia is a major concern for caregivers. It can endanger patients and others, make it necessary for them to be moved from familiar surroundings and demoralize and psychologically distress caregivers," Lin noted.
"It is very important that we find interventions that enable us to provide more effective care for (dementia patients), both in their own home and in long-term care facilities," Lin said.

What's Old is New Again
By Jeff Falk
Aromatherapy—a concept that is thousands of years old—gets a boost from science and inspires the development of new products.
YadaYadaYoga Debuts in Los Angeles
YadaYadaYoga is a new Los Angeles-based company that presents a mobile approach to holistic fitness. It offers a range of services at times and locations clients want or need them. 310-274-2665
Aromatherapy: The Scent of Dispute
Aromatherapy is an affordable, accessible natural path to relief for a variety of health problems, ranging from arthritis pain to nausea to drowsiness, supporters insist.
But skeptics dismiss any claims that the use of essential oils from flowers, herbs and trees can promote health in any way.
And both sides are unlikely to relinquish their positions anytime soon.
Aromatherapy "works for so many different things, it is amazing," said Kelly Holland Azzaro, a registered aromatherapist in Banner Elk, N.C., and vice president of the National Association for Holistic Aromatherapy (NAHA), an industry trade group. "You can experience aromatherapy by inhalation by putting one drop of an essential oil on a tissue and inhaling," she said.
According to the NAHA, aromatherapy is the "art and science of utilizing naturally extracted aromatic essences from plants to balance, harmonize and promote the health of body, mind and spirit." These essences are then distilled into "essential oils"—highly concentrated aromatic extracts—that are derived from a "variety of aromatic plant material, including grasses, leaves, flowers, needles and twigs, peels of fruit, wood and roots."
Among the most popular essential oils, which are widely sold at health-food stores and over the Internet, are eucalyptus, geranium, lavender, lemon, peppermint, rosemary, and tea tree, and according to the NAHA.
"Uplifting scents such as citrus can keep you awake at work," Azarro said. "To help increase alertness, use rosemary and lemon." And to combat nausea, try essence of peppermint, ginger and orange, she added.
While research into aromatherapy's benefits is limited, there are some studies that suggest certain treatments can help ease some symptoms.
For instance, in a 2005 study published in the journal Chronobiology International, researchers reported that lavender aromatherapy helped all 31 men and women feel more "vigor" the next morning, compared to the night they breathed in distilled water, an exercise that served as the control setting.
A study in the March-April 2006 issue of the Journal of Midwifery & Women's Health said that aromatherapy, combined with massage, helped new mothers feel less "blue" and anxious, compared to mothers of newborns who didn't get the treatment.
And a review published in Holistic Nurse Practitioner found that patients with postoperative nausea and vomiting can be helped by aromatherapy as well as acupressure and acupuncture.
But critics find little of value with scent therapy—or even label it as therapy.
"It's not a therapy, it's a set of products with odors," said Dr. Stephen Barrett, board chairman of Quackwatch Inc., an Allentown, Pa.-based organization that says it fights health fraud and quackery.
"If people like the odors and want to pay for them, I would have no objection," Barrett said. However, he added, don't expect much. "There is no evidence that aromatherapy can alter the course of any disease. There is no logical reason to believe that any such evidence will ever be found," he said.
As for potential risks, Barrett said: "Some people find certain odors irritating. People who use aromatherapy with the hope that it will cure what ails them will waste money."
Azzaro said that, currently, aromatherapy is unregulated in the United States. "And that's part of the issue," she said. People don't understand exactly what it is, either. "People think it's potpourri or a smelly candle."
There's also no state licensing for aromatherapists in the United States. Most practitioners incorporate their training with another profession, such as licensed acupuncturist or registered nurse, according to the NAHA.
If you're interested in pursuing aromatherapy, Azzaro said it's best to ask a practitioner about his or her specific training. "And when you purchase oil, such as from a health-food store, hopefully some educational materials are with the product," she said.
Be aware, too, there can be the possibility of allergic reactions to some treatments.

Acupuncture, Turmeric May Help Ease Arthritis
Acupuncture and an extract of turmeric—the spice that gives curry its kick—may both offer significant pain relief to some arthritis patients, two new studies suggest.
Reporting in the November issue of Arthritis & Rheumatism, a German team says a combination of acupuncture and conventional medicine can boost quality of life for patients suffering from osteoarthritis.
And in a second study in the same issue, American researchers say the ingestion of a special turmeric extract could help prevent or curb both acute and chronic rheumatoid arthritis.
The findings should be heartening to the roughly 40 percent of arthritis patients in the United States who say they've turned to some form of alternative medicine.
"If I had arthritis, I would be very excited about this," said Dr. Janet L. Funk, the lead author of the turmeric study and an assistant professor of physiological sciences at the University of Arizona in Tucson.
According to the Arthritis Foundation, nearly one in five Americans (46 million) suffers from one of the more than 100 various joint diseases that constitute arthritis. An additional 23 million have chronic joint pain that has yet to be formally diagnosed.
Osteoarthritis is caused by a progressive degeneration of bone cartilage and is the most common type of arthritis in the United States. Rheumatoid arthritis is an immunological disorder characterized by a painful inflammation of the lining of the joints.
In her study, Funk built on earlier research she had conducted with rats. Those efforts suggested that turmeric might prevent joint inflammation.
In her current work, she first broke down the specific contents of commonly sold turmeric dietary supplements.
In the lab, she and her colleagues then isolated a turmeric extract that was free of essential oils and structurally similar to that found in commercial varieties. The extract was based largely on curcuminoids—a compound they believed to be most protective against arthritic inflammation.
Funk's group administered the extract to female rats both before and after the onset of rheumatoid arthritis. They then tracked changes in the rodents' bone density and integrity.
The turmeric extract appeared to block inflammatory pathways associated with rheumatoid arthritis in rats at a particularly early point in the development of the disease. The extract had a beneficial impact if given three days after arthritis set in, but not if given eight days after disease onset.
Investigations in the laboratory revealed that turmeric stops a particular protein from launching an inflammatory "chain reaction" linked to swelling and pain. The expression of hundreds of genes normally involved in instigating bone destruction and swelling was also altered by the turmeric.
Funk stressed, however, that the findings are preliminary, and the extract needs to be tested in people.
"I feel an obligation to make clear that people should not run out to buy and consume turmeric powder," she cautioned. "First of all, a very small percent of the ground-up root that we buy in the grocery store is the protective part of the root, so it's not going to get you anywhere." In fact, the compound used in the study probably makes up only about 3 percent of the weight of current store-bought turmeric supplements, Funk said.
"That means that if this pans out in further studies, patients will be taking a purified extract, and this is all really exciting," she said. "But we still need conclusive proof that this extract is safe and efficacious."
In the second study, researchers led by Dr. Claudia M. Witt of Charite University Medical Center in Berlin spent three years tracking the treatment results of 3,500 male and female osteoarthritis patients suffering from either knee or hip pain.
For six months, all the participants were permitted to continue whatever conventional western medical treatments they had been undergoing prior to the onset of the treatment trials.
However, in addition, over 3,200 of the patients also received up to 15 sessions of needle-stimulation acupuncture during the first three months of the study. The remaining 310 patients received no acupuncture in the first three months. They were offered such treatment in the final three months of the study period, however.
All acupuncture sessions were administered by physicians who had received a minimum of 140 hours of certified training.
Symptom and pain questionnaires were completed at the onset of the study and at three months and six months of therapy.
Patients with chronic osteoarthritis pain who underwent a combination of routine medical care plus acupuncture demonstrated significant quality of life improvements, the researchers found. This included increased mobility and pain reduction above and beyond that experienced by patients who did not receive acupuncture.
For those who began their acupuncture treatments immediately, osteoarthritis improvement held steady three months after cessation of the sessions. For those patients who had begun acupuncture three months into the study period, comparable improvements occurred by the time they ended their sessions at the six-month mark.
The authors said acupuncture appeared to be a safe medical intervention with minor side effects observed in just over 5 percent of patients.
The study, one of the largest of its kind, demonstrated that acupuncture was a viable therapeutic option for people suffering from osteoarthritis, the German team said.
"I'm not surprised that people can be treated with acupuncture and get better," said Marshall H. Sager, a Bala Cynwyd, Pa.-based doctor of osteopathic medicine, acupuncturist, and past president of the American Academy of Medical Acupuncture.
"Using acupuncture adjunctively with western medicine is very common, because if you can do both approaches, you're way ahead of the game," he said. "Some people are not amenable to medication, either because of allergenic effects or because they just don't want to consume artificial things. And so, this is a way to start the healing process by engaging and stimulating the body's own inherent ability to heal itself."
However, Sager cautioned that American patients who consider this alternative route should choose carefully when they seek out acupuncture care.
"'Medical acupuncture' is acupuncture as practiced by a physician, which is much different than acupuncture as practiced by non-physicians in the east, such as in China," he noted. "And I would most definitely recommend that patients in the west deal with a physician that's properly trained and a member of the American Academy of Medical Acupuncture," Sager said.

Black Tea Eases Stress
Black tea eases stress by lowering blood levels of the stress hormone cortisol, says a British study in the journal Psychopharmacology.
The six-week study of 75 people found that those who drank black tea were able to de-stress more quickly than those who drank a caffeinated tea substitute, BBC News reported.
The participants were assigned challenging tasks while their cortisol, blood pressure, blood platelet, and self-rated levels of stress were measured by the researchers. During these tasks, both groups of study participants experienced large increases in blood pressure, heart rate, and self-rated levels of stress.
However, 50 minutes after the stressful tasks, cortisol levels dropped by an average of 47 percent among those who drank black tea and 27 percent among those who drank the tea substitute.
The study also found that the tea drinkers had lower blood platelet activation, which is associated with blood clotting and heart-attack risk, BBC News reported.
It's unclear which ingredients in black tea help reduce stress, the University College London researchers said.

U.S. Companies Embrace Wellness Programs
To arrest rising health-care costs, a growing number of U.S. employers are expanding workplace "wellness" initiatives. Providing workers with tools and incentives to improve their health, the thinking goes, will reduce medical-care costs and boost worker productivity.
Experts say it's a trend that bodes well for employees who are motivated to lose weight, quit smoking, manage a chronic condition or just stay fit.
"Pretty clearly, employers have realized that if they're going to manage benefit costs and manage work loss, they need to get at the underlying health drivers of that -- employee health -- and get at the root causes of health-care utilization and health-care expenditures," said Bruce Kelley, practice leader for data services in the Minneapolis office of Watson Wyatt Worldwide, a human resources consulting firm.
According to Kelley, employers have been investing much more heavily in wellness services in the last few years. "I've been consulting in this area for 20 years," he noted, "and I've never seen as much activity among employers as I've seen just in the last few years."
Wellness is a broad term that describes the panoply of health-management services that companies offer, from onsite fitness centers and smoking-cessation classes to health-risk appraisals and disease-management programs.
Survey data show that more large employers are offering programs to improve employee health and productivity. Seventy-five percent offered a "health promotion" program in 2005 or 2006, up from 56 percent in 2003, according to survey results released last December by Watson Wyatt and the National Business Group on Health.
Nearly three out of four employers (72 percent) are sponsoring health-risk appraisals to measure individual employees' health risks and behaviors. And 40 percent are engaging "personal health coaches," health professionals who can help, say, an employee with diabetes manage their diet, exercise and drug regimens.
At the same time, corporate America and public health leaders are grappling to understand which particular interventions or combinations of programs and incentives yield the greatest return on investment.
"There has not been a tremendous amount of high quality research in this area," said Doug Evans, director of the Center for Health Promotion Research at RTI International, a nonprofit research institute based in Research Triangle Park, N.C.
But there are a number of efforts under way to learn what works. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, for one, is sponsoring a series of studies to evaluate worksite efforts to prevent and control obesity.
In one study, published in the September/October 2005 issue of the American Journal of Health Promotion, CDC and RTI researchers found that obesity boosts employers' costs, including medical expenditures and absenteeism, by $460 to $2,500 per obese employee per year. They estimated that the cost of obesity at a firm with 1,000 employees is about $285,000 per year.
In March, the National Business Group on Health issued 10 recommendations for promoting prevention in the workplace. Overall, it concluded that without the support of top-level management, companies cannot convey "the importance to employees of caring for themselves."
Some employers are using incentives to get workers on the wellness bandwagon. You might qualify for a lower health insurance premium, say, if you stop smoking, or you could earn a $25 gift certificate for completing a health-risk appraisal.
The use of incentives will continue, Evans predicted. However, he believes employers must do a better job of promoting the benefits of health, much like anti-tobacco advocates did by portraying a non-smoking lifestyle as cool, hip and fun.
"Maybe that kind of technique can be effective in obesity," he offered. "Can you make it cool to be healthy weight and not to be fat?"

Weekend Tech Scan: What are Microsoft, Amazon doing to keep up with TV changes?
"Something's happening here . . .
"What it is ain't exactly clear . . ."
-- Bufffalo Springfield, November 1966
Television as we know it is undergoing a remarkable transformation. Several events. announcements, and rumors this past week, especially from hometown favorites Microsoft and Amazon, made it crystal clear that no one has a clue about what precisely is going on — only that this is no time to be doing nothing.
Let's start with a factoid. Television viewing is down slightly for the second straight year, according to a Nielsen study. Some of it is due to changes in the U.S. population, but according to Media Daily News, some is due to "changes in the media technology composition of U.S. homes." It's just not clear how much is due to tech.
"We continue to see increased media use proliferation, fueled by consumers able to watch professional, long-form video delivered traditionally and over the Internet by a number of devices, such as game consoles, computers, smartphones, tablets and over-the-top streaming like Apple TV," said a Nielsen spokesman.
Someone needs to understand it better: The same report says that TV penetration in American homes will be 95.8 percent by next January.
Microsoft's Xbox division has been reading the same set of tea leaves. Over the last two years, it's been attempting to expand the role of the Xbox from just a gaming console (although it's clearly the world's most popular game unit) to a home media center embracing live TV, TV cable channels, on-demand movies, and shows and music.
This week, the rumor mill suggested that Microsoft was about to launch a cell phone plan-like service for the Xbox: An Xbox 360 with 4GB of memory and a Kinect motion controller for $99 — and a two-year contract costing $15 monthly. At Best Buy, the same package retails for $299.99 without some of the services that Microsoft may offer such as Xbox Live membership that retails for about $60.
At $99, the Xbox would be directly price-competitive with TV set top boxes like Apple TV, Roku, Google TV, and Boxee. Microsoft potentially has an enormous advantage because of its well-known Xbox brand, and its presumed availablity at a significantly reduced price point.
It gets complicated, however, once you delve into the content available on set top boxes. Microsoft currently has the usual garden variety of on-demand or pay per view TV services -- subscription-based Netflix, HBO Go, Hulu Plus, as well as Best Buy's CinemaNow and its own Zune store—and the free Crackle movie service. And there's no forgetting Xbox's broad range of games.
But set-top box content has undergone its own revolution, with content Microsoft may or may not be interested in acquiring. If Microsoft sticks only to the tried and true and believes the public will want the box because of its technology, and not feel the need to explore the wide range of available content, it may miss the boat it's trying to urge people to board.
Of particular interest is the Roku box: originally designed for bringing Netflix to your home TV, and now with a strange but vibrant life of its own. With an entry point price of $59.99 (and prices up to $99 for more full featured units), Roku offers most of the same content as the current Xbox but with 450 channels: a wide variety of free and paid channels that stretch the definition of "TV."
On the "pay" side are Netflix, Hulu Plus, Amazon on Demand, and HBO Go; radio stations such as Pandora, TuneIn Radio, Radio Paradise, Shoutcast Radio and Live365. Among other channels, I'm particularly fond of "Drama Fever," featuring subtitled Korean and Chinese TV series; CNN International, BBC World News, Wall Street Journal TV, Al Jazeera English, independent film channels such as Vanguard, and TV channels including the UK's Acorn TV.

2015 Grammys: The Full List of Nominations
And that's that! After a day full of scattered nominations, the complete list of 2015 Grammys nominations has been unveiled.
And that's that! After a day full of scattered nominations, the complete list of 2015 Grammys nominations has been unveiled.
It seems as if Taylor Swift suffered an attack during her performance at the 56th Grammy Awards. It was so quick that not many saw it. Well, here's the video.
While the 2014 Grammys are over and done, and few rock and metal luminaries walked away with big awards. Most of the rock awards were handed out during the untelevised pre-ceremony, which began at 1PM PT on Sunday (Jan. 26) in Los Angeles. Early rock winners included Dave Grohl's 'Sound City: Real to Reel' soundtrack for Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media and Black Sabbath's 'God Is Dead?' for Best Metal Performance.
Congratulations are in order for Ellen DeGeneres after last night's Grammys. She didn't win an award, but she did do something possibly better -- say what we were all thinking about Katy Perry's boobs. With her face. On camera. Take a look.
CBS is out to make sure that no Janet Jackson nip-slip ever happens on the Grammy's this Sunday. Literally anything that can be seen as naughty - breasts, buttocks, and genitals - are all banned from the broadcast and a note was sent to all attending.
It's been a massive year for Halestorm and they're ending 2012 with a bang! It was just announced that the group and their song 'Love Bites (So Do I)' off of their latest album 'The Strange Case Of...' were nominated in the Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance category for the upcoming 55th annual Grammy Awards, taking place Feb. 10, 2013 in Los Angeles.
Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl's acceptance speech at last Sunday's Grammy Awards stirred up a lot of reaction — both positive and negative — when he seemed to deride electronic music in favor of using real instruments. However, in a new open letter, Grohl clarifies his speech by saying he is a fan of electronic music and that his words were misinterpreted.
As the Grammy's kicked off on Sunday night we couldn't help but notice all the lovely ladies on the red carpet. These ladies pull out all the stops to impress everyone with their class and elegance, but it's too bad all we could think was "damn that dress really accents her cleavage well".
The Grammy's have once again proven that they know nothing of the hard rock and heavy metal world. While we love the Foo Fighters, the Grammy for best heavy metal performance should have gone to Megadeth.
The Foo Fighters took the 2012 Grammy's by storm. Not only did they walk away with five total Grammy's last night, but they also delivered another killer performance. Introduced by one of Dave Grohl's good friends, Jack Black, and playing to a massive crowd outside of the Staples Center in Los Angeles, The Foo's proved that rock is very much alive.
Up and coming local rock star Frank Palangi is set to have an awesome year music-wise, and he is starting it out with a new year's teaser that is sure to get fans riled up with anticipation. Read on to find out what it is!
While watching the Grammy's last Sunday night did you notice certain people missing from the In Memoriam video presentation?

As much as I love camping, the camper is just too small to move our family into for that long. Buying a mobile home would be fine as we could resell it after our Earthship is done, except it would tie up all of our funds and not leave any money to actually build the house. Which leaves the option of moving in the old farmhouse. If you've followed the blog, you'll recall that we bought the property intent on restoring the old home. But the failing foundation, outdated electrical, lack of insulation, nonexistent heat source, and water damage made it unsalvageable. We found out that the cost to fix these problems (mainly the foundation) would be more than the cost of new construction. And even with a $16,000 foundation repair, there could still be future foundation issues since that cost only included putting the house back on the limestone blocks and not building a new foundation. In my disappointment over not being able to salvage the house, I didn't realize that it could still be made livable with some minor improvements. So we've decided to put a little bit of money and a lot of work into making the house livable while we build. Unfortunately, this will put the Earthship build on hold while we run new electrical and water lines and fix some of the major issues. So this may be the 50th time we've changed our minds about our living arrangements, but I think this will put us on the right path towards sustainability.
Living in the farmhouse will afford us more time to work on the Earthship and allow us to take better care of the property. Instead of caring for the animals here in their temporary shelters, we can build their permanent coops and cages there with better features like automatic waterers and exterior access to the nest boxes for egg collection. I know the house is a little rough and some people wouldn't even consider moving into it but we don't mind a little "character" and it will help us take another big step toward our dream of living a debt-free life and creating our own utopia. Let's just hope we all don't develop a lean from living in our crooked house!
Much Love,

It looks like Lindsay Lohan is headed back to the clink. She and her attorney met with Judge Stephanie Sautner today regarding Lindsay's failure to fulfill her probation requirements, which included 360 hours of service at a women's center. Lindsay violated her probation after she was booted from her assignment and began serving hours with the Red Cross, which was not in the terms of her sentence. This afternoon Lindsay was put in handcuffs and carted back to the slammer. However, she's entitled to another hearing to take place on November 2 before her jail sentence is determined.

Compared with other electric heating, reverse-cycle air conditioners are cheap and efficient to run. Inverter air conditioners, unlike older-style models, can vary their heating or cooling output to correspond with room conditions. This is more energy-efficient than older models, which either operate at 100% of their capacity or they're off. The Australian standard allows manufacturers to fix the compressor speed at a certain 'rated' capacity. We think this is unrealistic, as an inverter air conditioner will never operate in such a fixed mode in real life. Our test method operates the air conditioners at maximum cooling and heating settings, and therefore differs from the one used by some manufacturers for the energy label tests, which is why the energy efficiency on the label and our results don't always match. In this test, all the models performed close to their claimed cooling efficiency. But when it comes to heating, the Toshiba RAS-13SKVR-A / RAS-13SAVR-A, and both Fujitsu models had a significantly lower efficiency than the one given on their labels. That doesn't mean they're inefficient or poor performers — most of the tested models provide more than three kW of cooling or heating for each kW of electricity they use. The issue is that you should be able to rely on the energy label that reverse-cycle air conditioners must display to tell you their cooling and heating capacity and how energy-efficient they are. It's an essential tool for you to compare models, but in CHOICE's view the current tests manufacturers can put their models through don't always show the whole picture.

6 August 2010, London – Bain Capital and Advent International, the leading global private equity firms, have today signed an agreement with The Royal Bank of Scotland Group plc (RBSG) to acquire its subsidiary business, RBS WorldPay for an enterprise value of up to £2.025bn including a £200m contingent consideration. RBS will hold a minority stake of 19.9% in the new WorldPay business. The transaction is subject to regulatory approval and is expected to close before the end of 2010.
RBS WorldPay, also known as RBS Global Merchant Services, is the fourth largest provider of card payment services globally and the largest in the UK and Europe. In 2009, the business processed a total of 6.8bn transactions worldwide with a value of £243bn. The business is headquartered in London.
Established in 1989, the business has expanded both organically and through acquisitions. RBS WorldPay was launched as a brand in 2009 to consolidate RBS's portfolio of successful payment brands, which includes Streamline, the leading provider of point-of-sale payment services in Europe. RBS WorldPay offers services across the entire payment value chain, including transaction capturing, merchant acquiring and transaction processing.
Today, RBS WorldPay's clients vary in size from small family run companies to large multi-national corporations, spanning a broad spectrum of industries and sectors. The business operates in over 30 countries and has the ability to process up to 680 transactions per second in 113 currencies across 72 payment methods. It enables clients to accept card payments either at point-of-sale, mail order or over the internet on a global, efficient and secure basis.
The market for electronic payments has significant growth prospects as a result of the continuing shift from paper-based payments, such as cash and cheques, to electronic payments like credit and debit cards, the most prevalent form of electronic payment. Between 2008 and 2013, the total number of card payment transactions globally is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 10.5%. New payment methods, increasingly online, are also being adopted, with the value of eCommerce transactions between 2009 and 2013 expected to grow at a CAGR of 18.8%. Particular opportunities are anticipated in emerging markets, as their economies develop and expand.
Ron Kalifa, who will be leading the business as Chief Executive Officer, said:
"RBS WorldPay is a strong business with a leading position in its markets and I am confident that it will continue to grow and prosper under the joint ownership of Advent International and Bain Capital. I am also delighted that RBS Group will hold a minority stake in the business, providing ongoing support and helping to maintain existing relationships with our customer and supplier bases. We will continue to deliver the reliable products and first-class service that our clients have come to expect from this business and we look forward to enhancing our product offering. This is an exciting time in the ongoing evolution of our company."
James Brocklebank, Managing Director and Head of Advent's financial services sector team in Europe, said:
"WorldPay is a unique business and we are delighted to be supporting Ron Kalifa and his team in the next phase of its growth. Advent and Bain will be making a very significant investment in the company to enhance its technology and expand the range of products and services offered to merchants. Our long-standing specialisation in financial services and payment processing will also benefit the business as it moves forward as an independent entity."
Robin Marshall, Managing Director, Bain Capital added:
"Bain Capital is delighted to announce this investment in WorldPay. We have unparalleled experience in large, complex carve outs of leading global businesses - experience we will bring to bear in the next phase of WorldPay's development. We are excited to work together with Advent, WorldPay management and RBS Group in further strengthening WorldPay's position as one of the world's leading global acquirers."
Since its inception in 1984, Bain Capital has made over 50 investments in the financial services and technology sectors across Europe, Asia and North America.
Advent International has been investing in the financial services sector for over 20 years and has backed more than 30 companies in a broad range of subsectors including payments, transaction processing and financial technology.
Advent International and Bain Capital were advised by Credit Suisse, Weil Gotshal & Manges, Kirkland & Ellis, PwC, FT Advisors Ltd, First Annapolis and McKinsey & Company.

I am 52 and still have fairly regular periods. I have been having symptoms of menopause for the past 6 years. Hot flashes have pretty much stopped.
But now every time I get my period there is at least two episodes of what I have been told is called flooding. It is so scary, I feel like one of these times I am going to bleed out. I mean it feels like I am peeing, only I am not controlling the flow. ( sorry for being so graphic, I just don't know how else to describe it) I fill up a overnight pad so fast, it comes out the top of the pad, into my undies and then down my legs. I have always had heavy periods but this is frightening. How long before my periods stop? Is the stopping of periods the last thing to go? Its just like I am going through puberty all over again! Is losing all of this blood bad for me? After the episodes of flooding, my period returns to normal. This is just way too strange. My mom told me that her experience was that she got her period for two weeks, then never had it again. Other than that, she didn't mention anything, but she was very hesitant about sharing this type of details. Thanks for any help and advice, Debra |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi Debra, This is my first post here, but I'm going to jump right in and say...see your doctor. I quit having periods 2 years ago, when I was 48. I had some heavy periods when I was sure something was wrong, but never as bad as you describe. Don't take a chance with your health. Pam |
I am only 45 years old and I have my peroid for only one day, my period is always like "Flooding". It causes me a headache during that day. Debra, do you have headache? |
Have you seen your gynecologist? This flooding could be caused by fibroid tumors, which are pretty common (40-60% 0f women have them.) |

So l'll be talking about a problem that alot of people are facting, or maybe not alot or maybe l'm just saying that because.......well l dunno know, anyway that problem is Self Confidence, u know when you're for example like having a presentation and all of a sudden you forgot your lines and u goo like "aaaaaaaaa wellll you seee...." or when you're in a exam doing great and there' s this one question that gets u thinking like" which one god damn it", and ofcourse there's the part when you're talking to a beautiful young lady which probably goes something like thhis " aaaaaa yeah aaaaaa" and you dunno what to say or u're voice goes low and u look down on the floor dunno what to say, and lets not forget the part when like u two sitting not talking and there's no discussion opened or anything which ofcourse leads to awkward, Yep thats me but there's something that l'm really good at....Gaming, seriously when it comes to games l forget everything and just play, forget everything and just play :), l'm pretty sure that happens to all of us, anyway when l play Games l have this confidence telling me " come on you can do it" l know it sounds funny but its true even when it sounds rediculous, l mean this confidence gave me the courage to beat Dead Space 2 on Hardcore mode (for all of you people who never played Dead Space 2 before, Hardcore mode is the hardest difficulty and u're able to save game 3 times only and there is no checkpoint, so to sum things up if u die u'll start from the saving point).
But at the end all l have to say is if you want to be good at something, u need to show it some courage, fath, u need to show it that you're willing to do what it takes and that you're ready for anything, l'm trying my best to do that, and l hope l succeed, thats all l have to say, if you have anything you would like to share plz leave a commont. Later ;D

Happy Tax Day!
Sure you spent the last few weeks digging through your tax forms and now your ready to claw your eyes out.
Well...here's one more reason to burn out your retinas...
R&B singer Mary J. Blige has decided to cover a couple of Led Zeppelin tracks.
The 2 songs...STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN & WHOLE LOTTA LOVE!!!!!
Before you get all in a huff...let it be known that Steve Vai was brought in to play guitar on Stairway...and the 17 year old guitar virtuoso Orianthi contributes to the guitar sound, along with Randy (American Idol/Journey) Jackson on bass and Travis Barker (punk band Blink-182) on drums.
Check out the making of the song here.
So the version of Stairway wasn't horrible...and she's not the first to cover it. U2, Frank Zappa, The Foo Fighters, The Dave Matthews Band, and Great White to name a few have taken a stab at the song.
hear it here: http://hiphopblips.dailyradar.com/video/mary-j-blige-stairway-to-heaven/
HOWEVER, her version of Whole Lotta Love is just plain terrible...
hear it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODRJYz-ng3w
IS THAT A DRUM MACHINGE?!?!?!?! Pretty sure John Bonham is in the process of rolling over now.
Hope that made tax day more memorable...until next time.

It'is great strip of sand.
You can park or car in front of the the beach.
It ususaly breaks with no more than 2 ft. With a good swell from east and with a little wind from west it can breaks from funny 3-4ft to hollow 4-6ft, but it is rare.
Besides the pollution, this wave can give yu some funny momments when it is best conditions.
It's a good place to begginers in the samaller days.

Anxiety: The New Young Woman's Health Crisis

Try mind-body therapies. "Relaxation techniques are effective in so many aspects of your life, but they're particularly good for generalized anxiety disorders," says Otto. "They should be taught as a requirement in school, as the fourth R: reading, 'riting, 'rithmetic and relaxation!" Yoga, meditation and hypnotherapy have all been shown to help, as can deep breathing, relaxing to soothing music, and massage. "When we're stressed, most of us breathe shallowly from our chest, which triggers the sympathetic nervous system—that's the classic 'fight or flight' reaction," says Lizabeth Roemer, PhD, a professor of psychology at the University of Massachusetts, Boston. "If you inhale and exhale more deeply, that activates the opposite, parasympathetic response. Your body physically settles down." Also, "this type of relaxation prompts the release of feel-good endorphins," which can buffer against the biological response to stress, says London-based clinical hypnotherapist Georgia Foster.
Find the right treatment. You should be able to tell after one to two months whether the lifestyle changes above will make a difference. If they don't, you might need therapy or medication intervention. It's fine to turn to your GP; you don't need to start with a psychiatrist. She may refer you to a therapist, or prescribe medication. But tell her all of your symptoms in detail. More and more women are doing so, and their assertiveness is paying off. "Emergency rooms used to be flooded with people thinking they were having a heart attack when really it was a panic attack," says Edna B. Foa, Ph.D., director of the Center for the Treatment and Study of Anxiety at the University of Pennsylvania. "Now a lot of women with anxiety problems diagnose themselves because they're more educated. It's become part of the culture we're in to be able to talk about anxiety without feeling you're going to be judged." No judgment, just help. That's what every woman deserves.

Our beautiful 1800 square foot home is located on the 16th tee box of the Lakes Golf Course, with cross-country ski paths just outside the back door. White-tail deer and red fox cavort within view of the dining room windows. The Michaywe Clubhouse, complete with pool, spa and bar/restaurant, is a short walk through the hardwoods in the summer, or a quick ride on snowmobile-friendly roads.
The first floor master bedroom has an in-suite bathroom and comes equipped with a king bed. The two 2nd floor bedrooms share a bath and have a queen and twin in each room. The basement family room has a full-size convertible couch and 2 additional twin beds and can use the 2nd first floor full bath and the closet space is more than enough for your stay.
There are 2 TVs and a DVD/VCR player, along with a video library for your use. Add to that the wood-burning fireplace, and it is even a great place for rainy days. The 1000 square foot deck with 3 table sets stretches across the entire length of the house and seats everyone comfortably as you experience the golf course view.
The home is a short distance from I-75 and a few miles from downtown Gaylord. It is located in the Golf Mecca of the Midwest, rated as one of the top 5 golf destinations in America. Mackinaw Island and Odawa Casinos are within an hour's drive, and Boyne Mountain and the Highlands are within a half hour. Hundreds of miles of ORV trails can be reached from the driveway. Many inland lakes have public boat launches and a state park is located at Otsego Lake, just 4 miles down the road.
Keywords: Cottage, Home, Cabin
Jim and I both grew up in Michigan and love the outdoors. Jim is an avid golfer and enjoys the wide variety of choices available in Gaylord. I love to garden, and can easily spend the day just tromping through the woods or reading a good book on the back deck.
Jim purchased this house in 1994
As a family, we were looking for a lake house to spend our summers, and a place close to skiing in the winter. We wanted to be within 2 hours of our Essexville home. A friend suggested we rent a house in Michaywe while we spent the weekend exploring the Gaylord area. Needless to say, we quickly realized golf front living (not lake living) was for us and put an offer on this house that very weekend. Since then, we bought the lots on either side of us to preserve our privacy and give us that 'Up North' outdoors feel.
Gaylord is an all sports area. There are 30 - 40 golf courses within a half hour, and four within 5 minutes. There are a multitude of lakes and good shopping nearby. The drive is easy up I-75 and the seasons offer something for everyone. Skiing, cross-country, and snowmobiling in the winter; morel hunting and golf in the spring; golfing, fishing, and boating in the summer; spectacular colors and golf in the fall. We know you will enjoy our home.

There are many, many different documentaries on the city of Detroit; about its high crime rate, its urban decay, and, as of recently it has been on the media forefront as one of the biggest municipal bankruptcies in American History.
One thing they don't mention however (and they never do) in most of these "tragic" documentaries is the long-lasting, self-sustianing and still ever-growing music scene here in Detroit. The Avant/Garde Diaries, a lifestyle blog run by Mercedes-Benz, took some time out to do a feature on one of the godfathers of Detroit Techno, Juan Atkins. In the video, it shows Juan walking around abandoned areas in Detroit (one looks like the former Michigan Theater, part of which is a parking lot now) and talking about how the city has shaped his sound, most of which is explained in his opening lines:
"Detroit is very cold and bleak, even in the summer time, even when the weather's warm… It's a very hard and industrial city… We wake up and we look at this every day, and it affects how I make my music, how I make my art. That's the beauty of the decay; it gives you that creative energy."
As a native of Detroit (I do live slightly outside of there as of now), it is always good to see documentaries that are about the people that help keep the musical makeup in the city going, when others have simply walked away from it – the space that is left is what makes people really come up with strong ideas and keep the city so unique. What Juan is saying about his work has never ringed truer.
