The resistance knob offers NO resistance and one of the plastic pedal would not stay on. Beware as you will be charged for shipping any deficient product back. Disappointed!
The exercise pedal works. You know you have worked your legs. The only drawback is that it wants to slide away from you while you are exercising.Would help if it had longer floor grips.
No resistance whatsoever. I brought it to work, but my desk is a bit too low to use this. Kind of useless.
Puchased this for my 80 year old mom to help with her physical therapy after a hip replacement.. She said his is very similar to the pedlar that she used in the hospital rehab setting. Quick delivery time and easy assembly. Seems to be well-constructed and a good value.
I purchased this due to the fact that I have fibromyalgia and the muscles in my calfs were going into spasms. My rheumatologist suggested physical therapy which included using a pedal bike, but upon finding out the cost I decided to try my hand in purchasing this item instead. I did some reading on this and decided to go forth so as to build up the muscle tone in that area. I have to say the assembly wasn't difficult only the area where the pedals are........................the nuts and bolts were too hard to turn even with what was sent to assist in the assembly. So I decided to get them in as far as they could go, knowing I would have friction when pedalling and it is okay. thank you Overstocked once again. b***** from Arizona
Delivery was prompt; product met all expectations.
This has little or no cardio benefit to those looking to remain in shape or who have medium to great muscle tone. It may work well for someone looking for merely a movement machine without the need for resistance or cardio benefit
Like it, but I am having trouble making it stay in place on the table when doing arm exercises. Works great on rug for leg exercise.
I bought this for my 83 yaer old father, and it suited its purpose for him. I wouldn't think that this would be of any benefit for people under 70.

Jobs and Salary Info for a Bachelor's Degree in Mathematics
Many job options are open to graduates with bachelor's degrees in mathematics. Some graduates find jobs within the federal government as mathematicians or statisticians. Other job opportunities can be obtained via the engineering field. Graduates might also opt to become actuaries.
Non-Educational Career Opportunities
Many think that the only career path available to graduates with bachelor's degrees in mathematics is that of a secondary school teacher. While it is true that this degree can help qualify individuals for such a career, there are many other options available. Some of them include working for the federal government, becoming actuaries or seeking specialized engineering jobs.
Federal Government
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), a Ph.D. is the standard credential for mathematicians with one major exception: the federal government. College graduates can find jobs in the federal government with a bachelor's degree being the minimum educational requirement. The BLS reports that in 2013, the average annual salary for mathematicians employed by the executive branch of the federal government was $107,630.
Most actuaries work in the insurance industry due to the fact that their job is to analyze risk. They must be proficient with operating the complex modeling technology that is used to take scenarios and turn them into numbers. These numbers include the amount of risk involved in a situation and policy details such as premiums, rates and payments. Actuaries combine their knowledge of mathematics with financial capability. Though full licensure is required in order to become a direct professional, many actuaries are hired without having taken an initial actuarial exam. The BLS reports that this is changing quickly, and increasing amounts of employers require this initial exam. The BLS listed the average annual earnings of actuaries at $107,740 as of May 2013.
Though a bachelor's degree in engineering is the standard credential for entry-level engineering jobs, graduates with bachelor's degrees in mathematics can sometimes qualify for these jobs. This is especially true of specialized engineering professions in high demand. For example, biomedical engineers will be in high demand throughout the decade, as will civil and environmental engineers.
Biomedical Engineers
Biomedical engineers work in health-related fields doing tasks such as developing prosthetics and medical instruments. The average annual salary of these professionals was stated to be $93,960 as of May 2013, according to the BLS. This specialization is expected to see faster-than-average employment growth of 27% from 2012-2022, per the BLS.
Civil Engineers
Civil engineers lay out public works projects and make decisions on how roads, airports, subways and sewage systems will operate. The BLS reported this profession's average annual wage as $85,640 in May 2013 and predicts faster-than-average 20% job growth for the field between 2012 and 2022.
Environmental Engineers
Environmental engineers use their understanding of chemistry to find solutions to environmental issues. Such issues include water pollution, disposal of human wastes and recycling. Average annual wages were reported at $85,520 as per May 2013 BLS data, with employment projected to rise 15% over the 2012-2022 decade.

Westwego Traffic Cameras Will Stay Up
Westwego's City Council has voted to extend the city's contract with Redflex Traffic Systems, the Arizona company that provides equipment designed to slow motorists down.
The council's unanimous vote on Monday directs Mayor Johnny Shaddinger to renew the contract Westwego has had with Redflex since 2009 for the traffic cameras.
Police Chief Dwayne Munch, who is credited with bringing the program to the city, acknowledged it is controversial.
Munch tells The Times-Picayune Westwego has seen an 80 percent drop in accidents with injuries on Lapalco Boulevard.

Former Ford assembly plant manager convicted of tax evasion charges
St. Louis, MO - The United States Attorney's Office announced today that John Perry was convicted of tax evasion charges for failing to report kickback payments on his federal income taxes.
From 2001 to June 2004, Perry was the Materials, Planning and Logistics Manager for the Ford Assembly Plant in Hazelwood, MO, and was responsible for approving invoices from Ford vendors for expenses related to vehicle transportation and storage.
According to testimony presented at trial, Perry approved false and inflated invoices submitted to Ford by a vendor for transportation and storage expenses. When Ford paid the invoices, the owner of the logistics company paid Perry a kickback. Perry failed to report a large portion of these kickback payments on his federal income tax returns. Perry also participated in an inflated lease scheme for which he received kickbacks. While Perry was employed at Ford, Syms Trucking Company obtained a contract to provide transportation logistics work and yard management at the St. Louis Assembly plant. Perry directed Syms to make payments to him in exchange for allowing Syms to keep its contract with Ford. A large portion of these payments were not reported on his federal income tax returns. From 2001 through 2004, Perry received in excess of $2,000,000 from these schemes, causing a tax loss of more than $600,000.
JOHN PERRY, Vermillion, OH, formerly of Lake St. Louis, MO, was convicted of four felony counts of tax evasion after a six-day trial before United States District Judge Audrey G. Fleissig. Sentencing has been set for May 31, 2012.
Each count carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison and/or fines up to $250,000. In determining the actual sentences, a Judge is required to consider the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines, which provide recommended sentencing ranges.
This case was investigated by the Internal Revenue Service-Criminal Investigation. Assistant United States Attorneys Reginald Harris and Steven Muchnick prosecuted the case for the U.S. Attorney's Office.

Vegetable-Herb Stuffing
From Good Housekeeping
triple-tested at the Good Housekeeping Research Institute
Our trio of stuffings all call for toasting and cubing the bread first. To free up your oven for pies and the turkey on Thanksgiving Day, it's a good idea to do this up to 1 week ahead. When toasted bread cubes are completely cool, transfer to a self-sealing plastic bag and store at room temperature.

Formula One newcomers go from zero to hero in 18 races
This time last year Super Aguri seemed little more than a pipedream, albeit one imagined by Japanese racing legend Aguri Suzuki. But after several months pursuing sponsors and staff - and being granted a late championship entry by the FIA - the team made it to Bahrain.
Just appearing on the start-line was an achievement in itself, but, hurriedly conjured from the remnants of the defunct Arrows team, Super Aguri faced an uphill struggle. The advantages of customer-spec Honda engines, seasoned lead-driver Takuma Sato and experienced staff, was somewhat negated by the teams chassis. The SA05 - based on Arrows 2002 model - was four years out of date.
From the very first event the Super Aguris struggled to match the pace of the rest of the grid. In Bahrain, Sato qualified four seconds behind the leaders and 1.5 seconds off Super Aguris nearest competitor, Midland. In the race there was little improvement, with rookie Yuji Ide retiring with mechanical problems and Sato finishing at the back of the field in 18th.
Things would get worse before they got better. After a catalogue of mistakes - including taking out Albers Midland on the opening lap at Imola - the FIA lost patience with Ides driving standards and he was swiftly replaced by Franck Montagny, a former Renault tester. The Frenchman had more pace and experience than his predecessor, but like Sato, there was only so much he could do to offsets the deficiencies of his machinery.
Only the promise of a newly-designed car - the SA06 - spurred the team on. Its arrival in Germany - one race later than planned - coincided with the appearance of a new driver, Sakon Yamamoto, who took the place of Montagny. In qualifying, veteran Sato asserted himself, splitting the Midlands to take 19th on the grid. Although neither SA06 finished the race, it was an encouraging start.
Similar teething problems would continue to stall the teams progress for the next two events before a September shake-up of their engineering staff - with Mark Preston becoming technical director - seemingly reinvigorated the squad. Over the remaining four races, there was a significant upturn in the speed and reliability of the Super Aguris, who began challenging not only the Midland machines, but also the Toro Rossos.
In Italy Sato finished in front of Albers Midland, while in Japan - the teams home event - both cars made it to chequered flag for the first time since the launch of the SA06. The old erratic Sato returned briefly in China, his second blue-flag offence of the season getting him disqualified, but then at the final round in Brazil all the teams hard work was suddenly repaid. Both cars finished, but that was not all, with Sato putting in a storming drive to finish 10th and Sakon Yamamoto setting the seventh-fastest race lap. It was a fantastic way to end the year.
They may not have scored a single point, but Super Aguris debut season will be remembered as a success - and given what they have achieved in one short year the teams outlook can only be bright.

BRYAN, Texas - The fourth-ranked Texas A&M equestrian team suffered an 11-8 loss to No. 1 South Carolina Friday in the Aggies' first-ever home Southeastern Conference (SEC) meet and the final show of the fall season at the Brazos Valley Expo Complex.
Trailing 3-7 after the first two events, the Aggies mounted a comeback to end the meet but it wasn't enough as the top-ranked Gamecocks remained undefeated with the win.
Equitation over fences and Horsemanship started the day off simultaneously, and South Carolina picked up wins in both events, edging the Aggies 3-2 in over fences and taking a 4-1 victory in horsemanship.
Marlena Parker, who had the highest score of the day in fences (85) was one of two Aggie victories in that event as Shelby Lawson also scored a point for A&M with an 84-81 win. Parker was the fences Most Outstanding Player (MOP).
In horsemanship, Molli Jacobs was the only A&M rider to defeat her opponent, earning a 77-76 victory in the second-to-last ride of the event. Jacobs' score was also a meet high in horsemanship and gave the sophomore MOP honors.
The Aggies rode to a draw in equitation on the flat on a pair of wins by Kelsi Shevlin and Paige Russell. A 3-2 A&M win in reining narrowed the scoring gap for the final 8-11 tally. Ashley Skold, Becca Murray and Lindsey Bernbaum each recorded victories for the Aggies in the final event.
The meet with South Carolina was the Aggies' final show of the fall season. The team will return to action at Oklahoma State on Feb. 2. To learn more about Texas A&M equestrian, log on to AggieAthletics.com and follow @AggieEquestrian on Twitter.
