Sidney A. Ribeau, Ph.D., was officially inaugurated as the 16th President of Howard University on Friday, April 17, the highlight of a weeklong celebration from April 13 to 19.
The week began on Monday with the Students First Action Planning, a cornerstone of the new president's effort to keep the students paramount in all activities at the University.
Other activities included the opening of the Moorland-Spingarn Research Center Exhibit "Abraham Lincoln: A Bicentennial Exhibition" at Founder's Library followed later that day by "Bright Moments: A Presidential Inaugural Salute," a concert featuring Howard University Jazz Ensemble and Afro Blue at the Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel.
Thursday's highlights included the national conference on "Race and Emancipation in the Age of Lincoln" in partnership with the Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Commission; the 20th Annual James A. Porter Colloquium titled "Trajectories: Discourse and Critique in African-American Art and Art of the African Diaspora;" and a special tribute to noted historian, John Hope Franklin.
The main event on Friday saw alumni, faculty, students, staff and members of the Board of Trustees gathered in a colorful ceremony in Burr Gymnasium, officially installing Ribeau as the University's 16th President. Entertainer and activist Bill Cosby, who served as the keynote speaker, saluted the role of Howard University in national development and urged the current student body to remain true to the mission of the University even as they seek to create new ones, a theme echoed by the new president in his response. "Remember our legacy, Reclaim our legacy, Renew our legacy, we are Howard University," Ribeau said.
Under the theme, "A Legacy Renewed" President Ribeau and Dr. Paula Whetsel-Ribeau, on Saturday, April 18, joined students, faculty, staff, alumni and residents in the LeDroit Park Community Day of Service. With the aid of 275 volunteers, the Howard community planted more than 800 pansies, adorned 45 tree boxes, and added topsoil and mulch to 30 common areas. After the day of service everyone gathered for complimentary barbeque and refreshments complete with a live performance by the Howard University Showtime Marching Band. Councilman Jim Graham presented President Ribeau with a resolution from the District of Columbia City Council officially marking April 18 the Howard University/Ledroit Park Day of Service.

Man convicted of killing his family excuses himself during testimony of relatives
By Ruth Ann Krause Post-Tribune correspondent February 6, 2013 7:02PM
Kevin Isom. | Provided Photo~Sun-Times Media
Updated: March 8, 2013 7:39AM
About an hour into the testimony of his mother, a Gary man facing the death penalty for the murders of his family told the judge he didn't want to be present in court.
With the jury excused, Lake Superior Court Judge Thomas Stefaniak Jr. allowed Kevin Charles Isom to confer privately with his defense team of Herbert Shaps and Casey McCloskey, along with a mitigation specialist, before returning to court.
Isom, 47, was convicted Tuesday of the 2007 murders of his wife, Cassandra Isom, 40, and stepchildren Michael Moore, 16, and Ci'Andria Cole, 13.
The trial, in its fifth week, is now in the penalty or sentencing phase. Prosecutors must prove an aggravating circumstance, that Isom committed multiple killings, beyond a reasonable doubt. The defense may present evidence in mitigation such as Isom's age, character, education, environment, mental state, life or background or any aspect of the case. That level of proof is by a preponderance of the evidence, or more probably true than not true. Jurors determine mitigating factors individually before arriving at a unanimous decision on the sentence — death by lethal injection, life without parole or a term of years, which the judge will impose.
Deputy prosecutor David Urbanski incorporated all the evidence from the first phase of the trial and presented certified death certificates for each of the victims before he rested his case.
Shortly thereafter, Isom's mother, Lula Isom, began testifying about her childhood and young adult years. The daughter of a sharecropper father and a mother who worked as a housekeeper, Lula Isom said her only son was smart and earned Bs and Cs. She was 22 and living in Chicago when Isom was born. His father, Ulice Chester, was not involved in her son's life and wasn't listed on Isom's birth certificate, she said. She said her mother and sisters helped raise Isom. The family moved frequently and at times she struggled financially.
McCloskey had asked whether Lula Isom drank during her pregnancy. "Occasionally I would have a beer," she said.
After meeting with his attorneys, Isom told the judge he didn't want to be present while his family testifies. "I just don't want to sit through my family being paraded," he said. "I don't see the relevance in what is being presented."
Stefaniak questioned Isom about the possible risk that the jury could draw an improper conclusion with him not being in court. "I think the jury's mind is made up," Isom said. The judge also said it would be difficult, if not impossible, for Isom to know whether any incorrect information had been presented if he left the courtroom. "I just don't want to witness the circus anymore, what they're calling mitigation evidence," Isom said.
Isom said the interaction he has had with his attorneys "didn't benefit me."
The judge told Isom he could be excused while his family members testified. McCloskey listed seven relatives scheduled as witnesses for Thursday.
Isom indicated he would return later this week when other witnesses are expected to testify.

Dan Maes can't win if Tom Tancredo stays in the race, says CO Republican boss Dick Wadhams
On Monday, Scott McInnis spokesman Sean Duffy insisted his guy wasn't a dead fish. But at this writing, he's flopping on the dock, refusing to admit that he doesn't have lungs -- or that he lost last night's primary to Dan Maes. But while Colorado Republican Party boss Dick Wadhams has kind words for Maes, he sticks to his previous position -- that Maes has no chance to winning the governor's race if Tom Tancredo stays a candidate.Dan Maes.
When given an open-ended invitation to weigh in on the events of primary night, Wadhams chooses to talk about a Democrat -- Michael Bennet, who defeated Andrew Romanoff -- rather than one of his ideological brethren.
According to Wadhams, "it's clear that Michael Bennet would have been defeated by Andrew Romanoff had he not been dragged across the line by Barack Obama," who participated in a conference call with Bennet last week. "But his problem now is, he's tied so heavily to a Democratic president who in a recent poll had only 38 percent approval in Colorado, and disapproval in the mid-50s. Barack Obama is a yoke around his neck.
"The result of the primary is that Bennet had to move so far to the left in order to win the primary -- that's where Romanoff pushed him, and Bennet willingly went there. Plus, he voted for a failed stimulus bill that clearly a majority of Colorado voters opposed. And a clear majority of Colorado voters opposed the health-care monstrosity, they opposed cap and trade, they opposed card check. All the issues where Michael Bennet finally took a position in the primary, he's on the wrong side of Colorado voters."
What about Ken Buck? The Republican senatorial primary winner defeated Jane Norton, seen by one and all as the preferred choice of the GOP establishment. Will the latter unite behind Buck?
"I don't think there's any doubt," Wadhams says. "The stakes are too high in this election, and what Colorado Republicans are most committed to is reversing this very dangerous path that Barack Obama and Bill Ritter and John Hickenlooper are taking us down. So I don't think it'll take a lot to unite the party behind Ken Buck. Ken proved himself in this campaign. This is a guy who was counted out last fall, when Jane got in. Jane took a pretty big fall, but she fought back and made it a competitive race. But Ken held on in the end, and I think he's proven how tough he is. And I think he's proven he's an articulate candidate who can draw the contrasts between him and Michael Bennet."Dick Wadhams.
Did the widely held belief that Norton was handpicked for victory by the party elite eventually doom her candidacy?
"It's hard to define what being 'the party choice' means," Wadhams maintains. "But I do think one of the things that happened to Jane is, there was a perception that she was talked into running by people in Washington in positions of power. I think that was an unfair characterization. I think Jane made her own decision to run for the Senate. And she's never lived in Washington. She's lived her life in Colorado. But I do think that perception existed, and that's what started her decline, after starting out as the presumptive nominee.
"Even though there were some early missteps in her campaign, Jane was a great candidate," he continues. "I saw her on the trail -- I saw her in every corner of the state -- and Jane the candidate was outstanding."
Wadhams also throws bouquets to Josh Penry, a gubernatorial candidate before dropping out in favor of McInnis; Penry subsequently became Norton's campaign manager. Indeed, his comments seem to be laying the groundwork for a Penry candidacy in 2014 should John Hickenlooper become governor.
"Josh made the race competitive," Wadhams notes. "He did a great job of bringing the campaign back. You've really got to complement him. But whatever the perception was about Jane did impact her campaign, especially in the 2010 environment, where Washington is a four-letter word."
Given that, did Norton make a mistake by spending the last weekend before the primary standing beside Arizona Senator John McCain, who's widely disliked by so-called Liberty Movement groups?
"That's a very good question," Wadhams says. "But I won't second-guess their decision on that. I know Josh well enough to know they thought through that very carefully. I wasn't privy to the discussions, but I know it wasn't made without a great deal of thought."
And with that, Wadhams finally gets around to talking about Maes. But his back-pats lack much enthusiasm.

12 Ways To Eat Clean All Season Long
The holidays are almost upon us—and with them, a not-so-merry minefield of edible indulgences. Becoming savvy about the chemical makeup of what's on the buffet table—be it pre-packaged cookies, frozen hors d'oeuvres, processed grains, or refined sugars—can keep you lean and fit without your missing out on the fun.
"Clean eating is about avoiding packaged products and engaging in a diet rich in non-processed foods—things that come from the earth," says Manhattan-based nutritionist Sharon Richter, R.D. "Think fruits, vegetables, and lean protein sources, like fish."
Give yourself the gift of good eating this season with 12 of our favorite ways to indulge in the flavor of the holidays without packing on pounds.
1 / Dark Green Vegetables
These healthy finger foods are a powerful source of cardiovascular-boosting folate and also very low in carbs (four spears of asparagus contain only 2.5 grams). So, whether it's raw broccoli, asparagus, or baked kale chips, these slimming snacks have the satisfying bonus of crunch.
2 / Shellfish
Found on many a holiday-party table, shrimp cocktail, raw oysters, and clams with a spritz of lemon add a super-low-fat, no-carb protein punch to festive snacking, with an added boost of zinc and vitamins B and D.
3 / Cinnamon
Not only does this spice conjure up images of warm kitchens and festive baked goods, it also happens to be incredibly good for you.
A natural bacteria fighter and memory booster, cinnamon is also a great flavor enhancer on treats like baked apples, Richter says. One teaspoon has only two grams of carbs and six calories.
4 / Matcha
It's easy to be tempted by a high-calorie, cream-laden latte, but one tall Starbuck's peppermint white-chocolate mocha has 410 calories and 15 grams of fat. Instead, opt for matcha.
This powdered, whole-leaf green tea has zero carbs and is loaded with antioxidants that boost energy and improve brain function.
5 / Lean Meats
Opt for lean, baked turkey or chicken breast at the party's carving station and you can have a clean, protein-packed meal with half the fat of beef. Bonus: A three-ounce serving is a low-carb treat with nearly 20 grams of protein.
6 / Pomegranate
Pomegranates are abundant during the winter months (and make a festive centerpiece at any holiday gathering). They're also a potent source of antioxidants kicking bad cholesterol, jacked-up blood pressure, and carcinogens to the curb. A half cup of seeds has 16 grams of carbohydrates, but it's also got three healthy grams of fiber and 15 percent of your daily dose of
vitamin C.
7 / Tomatoes
Condiments are a big no-no when trying to eat clean, so instead of reaching for corn-syrup-laden ketchup or sodium-packed salsa, go for chopped tomatoes with slivered fresh basil for minimal carbs and plenty of vitamin C.
8 / Dark Chocolate
It's kind of hard to believe something that tastes so decadent could be good for cardiovascular health—not to mention can help fight premature aging and cancer.
But it's true: A one-ounce square is only a 13-gram carbohydrate indulgence.
9 / Roasted Garlic
Aromatically irresistible and delicious as a spread on whole-grain toast points, garlic is also a powerful antioxidant and immune-boosting power food that increases blood flow and lowers cholesterol.
That's not all: One clove of roasted garlic has only one gram of carbs.
10 / Citrus
Abundant in the winter months, citrus fruits are versatile, colorful, immune-boosting beverage companions. Yes, fruit does have carbs—that six-ounce glass of orange juice has 18 grams per ounce—but it's accompanied by a whopping 150% serving of your daily requirement of vitamin C.
11 / Salmon
At your next holiday party, feel free to indulge in that plate of salmon. You'll get not just a healthy shot of omega-3 fatty acids but a jolt of B3s and 12s to boot, says Richter.
Just make sure you look for wild-sourced versions, as they tend to be healthier than farmed fish.
12 / Whole Grains
Refined grains have their healthy bran and germ stripped away, so all their good-for-you properties are lost in the process, too.
Whole-grain crackers, bread, pita, popcorn, and brown rice, on the other hand, are great sources of munchable complex carbohydrates (a one-ounce serving of whole-wheat crackers has about 19 grams of carbs, and the carb content of one cup of airpopped popcorn is only six grams) with loads of magnesium, selenium, and fiber. They're also low in fat but big on texture and flavor.

All is good, the higher the the cocoa the higher the amount of antioxidants but watch out in the Ingredients section if it may say "Dutch Processed" or "Alkalai Processed" because when cocoa is being processed by one of these it loses a majority of its antioxidant content. for taste range i find 50-65 percent delicious, 70 and higher is too strong for my taste but give it a shot if you'd like. (Taste based on eating it plain)

Complimentary ongoing credit monitoring would pay dividends in different areas, including reducing the horrors of identity theft.
When a cashier asks whether it's debit or credit, the question may not mean exactly what you think it does.
The law requires credit bureaus to show you your credit report for free -- but not your credit score. Here's a way to get around that for just a buck.
Fortunately, many trustworthy credit counseling agencies can help. Unfortunately, the debt settlement industry has many players who may leave you worse off.
When the cashier asked me how much money I make, I hesitated. I was applying for a department store card -- and she said that she had to key in a number.
Are you disorganized? Don't read the fine print? Prone to splurging? Maybe you shouldn't use a credit card.
For the foreseeable future, confusion is built into the system. Each of us has dozens of credit scores used to judge our creditworthiness.
There were at least 210,000 complaints about recurring charges for credit monitoring that couldn't be stopped. There's a $22 million settlement in the case.
Credit unions should be respected for their ability to offer Americans an alternative to the mega banks. I had a different reason to join PenFed.
How much do you pay in interest for all that stuff over your lifetime? A cool new tool offers estimates and shows how better credit scores help lower costs.
Although many consumers are concerned about their personal data, 56 percent will still shop at retailers that experienced a data breach.
You spend 30 minutes a day on Facebook, so you surely have a minute or two more to scout out fraudulent use of your credit or debit card.
U.S. airlines are raising base fares on many domestic flights even though they are getting a windfall from lower fuel prices.
Apple warns users of its iCloud online storage service of a concerted effort to steal passwords and other data from people who use the service in China.
My credit card's billing dispute procedure stepped in and solved my problem when my order for a front door was misdirected and double-billed.

Use these tips to keep your credit on the straight and narrow, no matter how you like to spend your free time.
Even the president isn't immune from credit card issues -- like having your card declined while on a date with the first lady.
Starbucks says it will start letting customers across the country place orders ahead of time on their smartphones by next year.
Anna amassed $12,000 of credit card debt while unemployed, but she successfully turned her finances around later with a little help from balance transfers.
The Social Security Administration receives millions of death reports each year -- and one in every 200 is incorrect.
Consumers seem to forgive and forget companies that have suffered data breaches. You should probably be more paranoid than you are.
There are legitimate ways to get student loan balances reduced or eliminated, but there are also scammers out to get money from you.
Nearly 7 million Dropbox usernames and passwords have been hacked, apparently via third-party services from which hackers were able to strip the login info.
Digital marketers are scanning vast numbers of online images, looking for brand names on clothing or products held to target ads and build a dossier on you.
There are ways to get judgments off of your credit report that are relatively painless -- even if they've become a matter of public record. Here's how.
Financial institutions increasingly are turning to voice biometric technology to screen calls for signs of fraud. Is your bank using it?
It many seem easy to put college tuition on a credit card -- especially a rewards card. But the convenience fees many schools charge make it a costly error.
Ice cream and fast food chain Dairy Queen is the latest retailer to reveal a hack of its customer data.
Buying and financing a car may seem daunting, but there are ways to get the upper hand in negotiations and ultimately lead to a better deal.
Citibank says the average refund is $85 under its modified Price Rewind program. And there are no catches. (Well, sort of.)

Man & Woman
Ricochet Dance Productions turn to Fin Walker for their first commissioned hour-long work. On a dark square with a white border is half a dome, which divides into three parts that are moved about and upon by the performers.
Designed by John Napier, well known for his West End shows such as Cats, it gives the four performers different levels and a shifting surface to deal with. This is imaginatively used in the choreography.
Four people inhabit the area, where there is tension as the ground splits and opens up, unearthing emotions and leaving some buried. There are solos, duets and a trio throughout. The performers all work hard, with exciting, twisting movements and partnering.
With interactions, strong physicality and abstract shaping, the groupings are tightly woven but not necessarily all connected. This fragmentation means the piece lacks some of the cohesion of other works performed by the company.
The score by Ben Park is at times jazz-like and percussive, with excellent lighting by Chahine Yavroyan.

Linux Foundation: Sympathy for Microsoft
A whole week of success stories for Linux and Open Source, while Microsoft is battling the press, thus the summary from Jim Zemlin, executive director of the Linux Foundation. Even the New York Times sees a good positioning for Linux on desktops.
Zemlin begins his current blog entry with the words "It is hard for the executive director of the Linux Foundation to feel bad for Microsoft, but they are having a bad week..." He goes on to itemize press reports from the past week that included Microsoft or Linux. His first example is a front page story in the Wall Street Journal about Microsoft's behavior toward its Linux rival in southern Africa. Further entries relate to how the media resonates with the "Windows 7" announcement and Microsoft's answer to Cloud
Computing with its Azure product. Zemlin's impression of the "Windows 7" announcement is that it's "widely regarded as an attempt to right the wrong that is Vista." He responds to the irritated reaction of the press to Microsoft's cloud computing platform with "No licensing, pricing and due date information. This for something that Amazon has offered with a Linux-based solution for over a year on the EC2 Cloud."
The news about Linux leaves Zemlin rather with a better feeling. Especially news about current developments on netbooks is worthy of headlines. After Asus, Acer, Dell, Lenovo and others, HP is yet another hardware supplier with a Linux netbook coming to the market. With its Mini 1000s, HP is releasing its Mobile Internet Experience (MIE) variant for Linux. Zemlin points to last Monday's article in the New York Times in which the newspaper identifies a future market for quick-boot, "instant-on" PCs with Linux.
In an Age of Impatience, claims the Times, the quicker it takes it takes a PC to boot up, the greater the competitive edge. The author of the article even points to a Microsoft company blog that asserts that "a very good system is one that boots in under 15 seconds" and that such a system is promised for the next Windows version. The Times article agrees that Linux is ahead by a nose in this respect: "Until Microsoft comes up with a way to greatly shorten the time it takes to load Windows, PC makers are speeding up boot times using programs that bypass Windows. The systems vary technically, but they all rely on a version of an operating system called Linux... In some cases, Windows never boots, while in others, Windows starts in the background." Vendors like Asus and Lenovo are already outfitting their PCs with Linux-based Splashtop, and Canonical has its own Ubuntu variant as Netbook Remix and integrates the launcher.
For Jim Zemlin, these are clear signals for Linux's success. He poses rhetorical questions: "Linux on more laptops than Windows? Dell, HP, Asus, Lenovo and others shipping Linux desktops at unheard of prices? Microsoft stuck in a rut needing to follow rather than lead?" In Zemlin's view the tracks are well set for a "pretty good" Linux year for 2009.

moving slow in a fast world
Inner IDEA: The rise of tai chi in America.
In an era in which Americans are primarily concerned with losing weight and gaining muscle mass, it is no wonder that the slow-moving martial art of tai chi has been a bit of a hard sell.
Tai chi won't fold under your bed for easy storage, nor will it claim to reduce inches off your waistline in "just 3 minutes a day." The reality is, however, that those who practice tai chi are likely to get stronger, have less anxiety, move more organically and gracefully, improve their balance and enjoy more flexibility.
A 10-year research trial through Harvard, Emory and Yale universities compared tai chi with computerized balance training. The trial, which appeared in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society (1996; 44 [5], 489–97), found that tai chi practitioners had overall better balance and reduced their risk of falling by 47.5%. A study published in the Hawaii Medical Journal (1992; 51 [8]) cited increased breathing capacity and decreased back and neck pain resulting from the gentle practice of tai chi. And a study that appeared last year in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise (2003; 35, 1972-6) found improved vagal function—associated with reduced risk of cardiovascular disease—in tai chi practitioners.
Despite the research, though, tai chi is a tough concept for Americans, who tend to chase after magic-pill, quick-fix choices and associate "fitness" with frantic efforts at exertion.
I journeyed into tai chi as a 30-something former aerobic champion, a worn-out, traveled-out fitness pro ready to explore something different, mysterious and compelling. To be honest, anything that didn't involve spandex looked appealing at that point.
I'll never forget how it felt to slow down—to actually feel the movements and postures of tai chi, to realize that my body was laying down a new blueprint of movement, getting stronger as my muscles learned to balance from one position to the next. I then understood that most of my "athleticism" had been of a frenetic, fast-twitch sort. Sure, it looked great, but it lacked balance and was often really painful at the end of the day. After studying tai chi for a few years, I concluded that fitness in America was missing what I now call "micro-connections."
Americans are notoriously results oriented, not journey oriented, and in our haste to get results, the journey between point A and point B is often lost. Tai chi is all about the journey, the middle ground, the constant movement of life flowing from one situation to the next. It is the micro-connections that smooth out all movement, allowing the breath and "chi" (or energy) to move through the body like water flowing naturally around a rock. Deflective, powerful and centering, tai chi hones our awareness of these micro-connections and is often referred to as "a moving meditation."
Well-studied martial artists know tai chi as both the grandfather and grandmother of martial arts. But although tai chi is a full-on martial art, complete with self- defense applications, almost anyone can practice it, regardless of age, weight or fitness level. Through teaching tai chi programs over the years, I have learned a few valuable tidbits about mainstreaming this ancient martial art.
Keep It Simple at First. Don't focus too early on the "order of the moves." Chi kung exercises (ancient healing exercises closely associated with tai chi practice) are actually more applicable to mainstream fitness than tai chi performed in its traditional order. The therapeutic movements of chi kung, which anyone can do, can be taught and implemented immediately, whereas the entire Yang, Chen or Sun style of tai chi can take 6 months to 2 years for some people to learn. Unless a student is seeking that kind of journey, it may be too daunting for them. I teach a combination of chi kung, traditional tai chi postures and what I call tai chi—inspired movement.
Allow Students to Find Their Way. When I teach beginners, I start with bigger movements, because there is a learning curve before a person can make the movements smaller and more efficient. Essentially, students must discover their own "path of least resistance" and be encouraged to breathe and move. Just working on a few therapeutic exercises can be really life-altering for many people. They should not be worrying about "getting it right" or having their minds cluttered with an order that is insignificant to them.
Be Imaginative With Your Cuing. Imaginative cuing is very helpful. For example, my latest cue is "Aliens have landed." It is amazing how many people refuse to bend their knees and relax their shoulders in the traditional Horse Stance. So I have students act as if they are aliens who have just been plopped down into this strange new world of Earth and are experiencing gravity, flow and breathing for the first time. Not only is this a fun visual, but it takes the edge off what many people perceive as a dauntingly serious martial art.
Whether your discipline of choice is yoga, Pilates, kickboxing or something else, understanding and employing the principles of tai chi can increase your proficiency. A whole new world of physicality opens up once instructors and students understand the flow of energy. A fast roundhouse kick has more proficiency and stability when taught in a slow tai chi style, and a yoga tree pose gradually loses its wobbly entrance when centered chi principles are employed.
Tai chi is vast and exciting and definitely has a burgeoning following in America, but since it is not perceived as "hard," the fitness masses tend to look elsewhere for their workouts. People ask me, "Will America ever really embrace tai chi?" "Can it afford not to?" is often my answer. But pushing tai chi on anyone would be out of keeping with the fundamental principles of the discipline. So I defer to one of my favorite tai chi teachings, which states: "When spring comes, the grass grows by itself." So, too, will tai chi blossom in America, when it is time.

Seniors. In America, tai chi programs for seniors are gaining recognition. Improved balance, strength and energy are all part of the tai chi equation for older adults. Enhanced energy flow can lubricate stiff joints; encourage reversals in the crippling pain of arthritis; and increase overall strength, reducing the risk of injury due to falls.
Therapeutic Applications. People with cancer, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, paraplegia and countless other physical challenges can benefit from the relaxing, rejuvenating slow movements of tai chi and chi kung (ancient healing exercises—involving movement and breathing—that are closely associated with tai chi practice). Many moves can be adapted for a chair or done in water. (If you work in water with a client who has an ailment or chronic condition, be sure to get permission from the client's doctor and clear the water temperature with the physician. For example, multiple sclerosis patients should not work in warm temperatures, whereas fibromyalgia patients are often given the green light for warm water.)
Water Tai Chi. My regular personal training work more often than not includes tai chi–inspired movement in the water. Over 2 years, I have documented a 35-pound healthy weight loss in a client suffering from fibromyalgia. Working out slowly and methodically through all ranges of motion in warm water has produced amazing results for him, both in increased fitness level and in a near full reversal of his fibro- myalgia symptoms.
Fusion Classes. Incorporating a tai chi/chi kung warm-up and/or cooldown is not only hip, but also effective. It lets you give an often-skeptical fitness audience a chance to experience how tai chi, or conscious slow movement, can enhance other activities. Yoga mixed with tai chi is about the best workout on Earth, in my opinion.
Martial Arts Classes. Mixing the slow tai chi movements with the fast martially applied versions really brings it all full circle. I teach a class named "Tai Chi Training" (which blends both the slow and fast sets of tai chi); I also teach "Martial Cardio" and "Ultimate Strength," both of which fuse many moves from tae kwon do, karate, kickboxing, kung fu and tai chi. Janis Saffell and I merge kickboxing and tai chi in our "Yin/Yang" workout video, which offers quite an intense routine.
Kids. I was skeptical the first time I tried tai chi with kids but, to my surprise, they were all over it—so much so that it inspired me to create, finance and produce my "Get Fit America for Kids" program. In this program I merge traditional fitness with yoga, tai chi, nature-related games, stretching and partnered trust-building exercises. It was amazing to discover that tai chi was such a hit with kids, especially those in kindergarten through fifth grade. The little ones love the nature associations (postures with names like Parting Horse's Mane, Repulse the Monkey, Wave Hands Like Clouds, Snake Creeps Down, etc.). The middle-school kids love to focus on the martial aspects (kicks, brush pushes, push hands, etc.). All aspects teach deflection, not aggression.

Presidential Papers
About Presidential Papers
There are four categories of papers that are considered "presidential papers" 1.They are:
- public/published,
- personal,
- executively controlled,
- official.
Public/published papers are proclamations, executive orders, presidential messages, speeches and statements. These are funnelled into established series (e.g. the Weekly Compilation of Presidential Documents)
Personal papers are those not created in the course of duty, such as personal diaries, journals, family momentos.
Executively Controlled documents are privileged from disclosure to congress or the courts because the incorporate national secrets, classified or legal information, or policy making records (e.g. the Nixon tapes), or National Security Directives. According to a 1992 GAO report, of the 1042 NSDs issued since 1961, only about 247 have been declassified. GAO tried to study these, but could only get a hold of 5. 2
Official documents are working documents generated in the course of daily presidential activitied. Until 1978 all official presidential records were considered private property. Now law mandates that they pass into custody of the Archivist of the United States. President Nixon caused the change in this law when he temporarily deposited his papers at the National Archives. Congress seized the Nixon papers by passing a law giving the government control over them.

Executive Orders & Proclamation
Executive orders and proclamations are the way the President prescribes the conduct of business in the executive branch. Executive Orders relate to how and what executive agencies (Dept of Agriculture etc.,) do. For example, E.O. 9066 was a directive to the U.S. War Relocation Authority to intern Japanese Americans. Most Executive Orders have the force of law.
Presidential proclamations may be pardons (and therefore have the force of
law) or may be for celebratory times such as National Dairy Week.

EA loses control rights over domain name SSX.com
Dispute ends deeming EA's argument invalid.
Electronic Arts has failed to claim a domain name that represents its upcoming snowboarding rebooted title, SSX.
Having EA entered into a dispute against the current owner of SSX.com, Abstract Holdings International LTD, with claims from the publishing giant that the URL was booked by the company in "bad faith" after the misuse of hosting game-related advertisements, a three-person National Arbitration Forum panel determined that EA's argument was invalid.
"The EA allegations of bad faith in part are based upon the lack of due diligence conducted by retailers of domain names like Respondent. EA would seem to require that entities like Respondent conduct an international search for relatively obscure trademarks in order to determine whether a name is a registered mark. The Panel is not willing to go so far," according to the Abstract Holdings International LTD.
Abstract Holdings made its purchase of SSX.com back in October 2011 as part of a $200,000 portfolio investment.
