You know that physical activity is good for you. Regular physical activity may help prevent or delay many health problems. Being active may help you look and feel better, both now and in the future.
So what's stopping you? Maybe you think that working out is boring, joining a gym is costly, or fitting one more thing into your busy day is impossible.
This publication will help you identify and beat your roadblocks to physical activity. It will give you tips and help you create a plan to get moving or add more activity to your life.
Why should I be physically active?
Regular physical activity may improve your health in many ways (see "Benefits of Regular Physical Activity" box below). Research shows that people who are overweight, active, and fit live longer than people who are not overweight but are inactive and unfit.
Benefits of Regular Physical Activity
Regular physical activity may help you
- control your weight
- improve your mood
- prevent weight-related health problems, like high blood pressure and diabetes
For more, see the 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans, listed in the Resources section of this brochure.
Being more active may help you control your weight by balancing the number of calories you burn with the number of calories you eat. Regular physical activity may also help prevent or delay type 2 diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, and stroke. If you have one of these health problems, physical activity may improve your condition.
Regular physical activity may also improve your quality of life right now. Become more active and enjoy the benefits of a healthier lifestyle, like a happier mood, more energy, and a stronger body.
How much physical activity do I need?
If you are a healthy adult, U.S. Government guidelines advise that you do these activities on a regular basis:
- aerobic activities, like walking fast, jogging, or dancing (see "What is aerobic activity?" box below). Aim for at least 30 minutes on most days of the week. To get more benefits, lose weight, or keep off weight you have lost, you may need more. Aim for 60 to 90 minutes per day. Try to be active for at least 10 minutes at a time without any breaks.
What is aerobic activity?
Aerobic activity makes your heart beat faster and may cause you to breathe harder. You should be able to speak several words in a row while doing aerobic activities, but you should not be able to have a long chat.
Here are a few examples:
- biking
- dancing
- sports (basketball, football, soccer)
- walking fast
- water aerobics
- strengthening activities, or activities that make you push or pull against something (for example, lifting weights, doing sit-ups, using exercise bands). Aim for at least 2 days a week.
If you have a health problem like heart disease, high blood pressure, or diabetes, ask your doctor about the types and amounts of physical activity that are right for you. In most cases, you do not need to talk to your provider before starting an activity like walking.
Recent studies suggest that sitting down for long periods of time may lead to health problems, like diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. This was found even among people who are active at other times of the day. If you must spend a lot of time sitting down, take breaks to stand up and move around every 30 minutes, if possible.
How can I start to be active?
Pick an activity you enjoy. If you do not like the exercise you are doing, it is hard to keep it up. List the activities you would like to do, like walking, joining a sports league, exercising with a video, dancing, biking, or taking a class at a fitness or community center. If you are already active, what types of activity can you add? Select an activity that sounds like fun and try it out.
Start slow and add a little at a time. If you are not active now, the idea of doing 30 to 60 minutes of activity each day may seem like too much at first. Start by being active 10 minutes on 5 days each week. Every few weeks, add 5 to 10 minutes until you are getting at least 30 minutes of activity most days.
Set a goal, make a plan, and add it to your calendar.
- Set short-term goals that are specific and that you can track. For example, instead of saying "I'm going to be more active this week," set a goal of walking 30 minutes a day, 3 days a week.
- Think of the days and times you could do the activity, such as first thing in the morning, during lunch break from work, after dinner, or on Saturday afternoon. Look at your calendar or planner to find the days and times that work best, and commit to those plans. Use the chart below to create your plan.
What will I do? | When will I do it? | How long will I do it? | |
Monday | mins. | ||
Tuesday | mins. | ||

How can I overcome common physical activity roadblocks?
Starting a physical activity program and sticking with it may be easier than you think. Here are some ideas on how to overcome your roadblocks to physical activity.
Time. Are work, family, and other demands making it hard for you to be active? Here are some ways to add physical activity to your daily routine. Remember, every little bit counts.
- Do 10 minutes of exercise at a time. Spread these bursts of activity out throughout the day.
- Add a daily 15-minute walk during your lunch break or after dinner. If your schedule allows and you can do so safely near your home or work, taking a walk may help you clear your head.
Motivation or interest. Is it hard to get moving? Does working out seem boring or like a chore? Here are some ways to keep physical activity interesting.
- Switch it up. Try a new activity each day like dancing or planting a garden to find out what you enjoy most.
- Make it social. Involve your family and friends in physical
activity to have fun, spend quality time together, and stay on
- Meet a friend for workouts or to train together for a charity event. Join a class or sports league where people count on you to show up.
- No matter what age your kids are, find an activity you can do together. Dance to music, take a walk, run around the park, or play basketball or soccer.
- Use videos. Work out to fitness videos or DVDs. Check out a different DVD from the library each week for variety.
- Enlist support. Who will remind you to get off the couch and help you reach your goals?
List the people—your partner, brother, sister, parent, kids, or friends—who can support your efforts to be physically active. Give them ideas about how they can help, like praising your efforts, watching your kids, or working out with you.
- Wear the right gear. A rain jacket, sunhat and sunscreen, or winter clothes will help you beat the weather.
- Find a place to exercise indoors. Walk in a mall when the weather is bad. Your local community center may offer low-cost options.
Money. Working out does not have to cost a lot of money to help you meet your goals.
- Check out your local recreation or community center. These centers may cost less than other gyms, fitness centers, or health clubs. Find one that lets you pay only for the months or classes you want, instead of the whole year. Ask if the center offers child care.
- Choose physical activities that do not require any special gear. Walking requires a pair of sturdy shoes. To dance, just turn on some music.
Make a plan to break through your roadblocks. What are the top three things that are keeping YOU from being more active? Write down these barriers and ideas for how you can overcome them.
Barrier 1:
Barrier 2:
Barrier 3:
Track your progress. Seeing your progress in black and white can help keep you moving. Think about how you will track your progress each day, including the type of activity and how long you spend doing it.
Activity | Length of time |
Plan ahead to avoid setbacks. For example, find other ways to be active in case of bad weather, injury, or other unusual situations. If you do have a setback, do not give up. Regroup and focus on meeting your goal again as soon as you can.
Be safe.
- Warm up and cool down. To help avoid injury, be sure to warm up and cool down. To warm up, do the activity you plan to do at the start of your workout but at a lower intensity or slower pace. Do the same to cool down. For example, if your exercise of choice is a fast walk, walk slowly for 5 minutes at the beginning and end of your workout.
- Start slowly. If you are starting a new physical activity program, go slow at the start. Even if you are doing an activity that you once did well, start up again slowly to lower your chance of injury or burnout.
- Drink fluids.
- Take it easy at first and see how you feel before trying more challenging workouts. Stop if you feel out of breath, dizzy, faint, or nauseated, or if you have pain.
- Do existing health issues make it hard for you to be more active? If you have a health problem (diabetes, heart disease, asthma) or an injury, talk with your health care provider about how to safely add physical activity to your life.
Keep it going!
Choosing physical activities you enjoy and that match your interests and abilities will help you stick with them for the long run. As you reach your goals, think about how you can do even more. For example, if you are walking 3 days a week, add another day and turn up the speed of your walk.
You can try new activities too. To add variety
- try low-impact aerobics or water aerobics for 30 minutes, 2 days a week
- walk on a treadmill or outdoors for 30 minutes, 1 day a week
- lift weights 2 days a week
Reward yourself. Set goals for yourself on a regular basis. Write down how you are going to reward yourself for meeting your goals. Think of rewards that may motivate you to do even more, like taking a relaxing hot bath or shower, trying a new healthy recipe with friends, working out with new music, or joining an affordable sports team, recreation center, or exercise class.

The taxi driver on the way here from downtown Pori (25 mins) led us to believe that this place was stuck in the 70s whereas in fact it's been renovated. Unusually appealing architecture, wonderful location, acres of wooden floors. Food best avoided.

Home → Air Quality → Meteorology Home > Permit Air Quality Modeling Guidelines > Screening Modeling
Screening Modeling
Screening modeling encompasses a number of conservative analytical modeling techniques for estimating extreme upper bound concentrations. These "worst-case" estimates are based on simplified assumptions/representations of source-receptor geometries. The primary purpose of screening modeling is to quickly and easily eliminate sources, whose impacts are low enough that they will not pose a threat to ambient air quality standards or ambient increment standards, from further analysis. Another purpose of screening modeling is to identify the "worst-case" operating scenario or load case for a particular source(s) that require a more refined modeling analysis to demonstrate compliance with ambient air quality standards and ambient increment standards.
Screening modeling tends to be easy-to-run, quick and conservative (i.e., tends to overpredict air contaminant concentrations).
Screening modeling may be used by itself to demonstrate compliance with ambient air quality standards or to indicate the proposed operating scenario most likely to produce the maximum predicted air contaminant concentrations to be further analyzed via refined modeling.
Screening Models
The Guideline on Air Quality Models provides a complete list of available air quality screening models and modeling techniques. Some basic guidance on a few of the more commonly used models can be found later in this page, however, the "Guideline on Air Quality Models" should be consulted for further details on the models suggested in this guideline and for those modeling situations not specifically covered in this guidance.
AERSCREEN is a single-source screening version of AERMOD that will produce conservative impact estimates without the need for refined meteorological or detailed terrain data. Applicants should refer to the AERSCREEN User's Guide to determine the proper use of the model.
All EPA-approved screening models can be downloaded at the SCRAM website.
Screening Modeling Receptors
Receptors for screening modeling should be selected so as to provide detailed horizontal and vertical resolution of the terrain surrounding the source being modeled.
It is important to note that screening receptors are to be selected to minimally 10 kilometers. This geographical extent is important to demonstrate that the maximum impact area is included in the analysis and also to determine the significant impact area (which will be used to determine the geographical extent for a refined modeling analysis, if applicable). MEDEP-BAQ believes a complete screening receptor grid provides valuable information relative to the analysis.
If screening modeling results show that concentrations are still increasing at the 10 kilometer receptor, then the grid must be extended beyond 10 kilometers. Receptors in areas not meeting the definition of "ambient air" (e.g., receptors within the "production area" of a source, see Chapter 116 of the MEDEP-BAQ Regulations) should be eliminated.
Additional Receptors
There are also certain cases where additional special purpose receptors may have to be selected for inclusion in the analysis. Some examples of special purpose receptors are:
- Fenceline receptors at the closest occurrence of "ambient air", as defined by Chapter 116;
- Receptors within the wake region of the controlling building (outside of the production area, if any);
- Receptors at state/international borders;
- Receptors at Class I areas; and
- Recepotors at any designated sensitive locations (typically requested by MEDEP - AQ).
Building-Related Considerations
For screening analyses where the stack height is less than its formula GEP height, the height and the maximum projected width of the overall controlling structure (as determined through the use of any BPIP program) is to be used. As stated previously, hand calculations will NOT be accepted for making this determination!
Cavity Analysis
A cavity analysis is to be conducted for all stacks (whose cavity effects may possibly extend into ambient air as defined by Chapter 116) that are below 100% of full GEP height using any EPA approved model that correctly incorporates the PRIME downwash algorithm.
Regardless of the model used, if the cavity area does not or is not likely to extend into ambient air (as defined by Chapter 116), the cavity analysis may be omitted.
All cavity methodologies and techniques are to be included in the protocol and (if applicable) discussed with MEDEP-BAQ prior to performing the analysis.
AERSCREEN generates application-specific worst-case meteorology, via MAKEMET, that takes full advantage of the boundary layer scaling algorithms implemented in the AERMET meteorological processor using representative minimum and maximum ambient air temperatures, and site-specific surface characteristics (albedo, Bowen ration, and surface roughness).
Averaging Periods
Ambient air quality standards, ambient increments, and significance levels cover a variety of time (or averaging) periods depending on the air pollutant in question.
AERMET produces 1-hour concentration values which will need to be converted to other averaging periods using the conversion factors listed in the table below (values are taken from the AERSCREEN User's Guide, page 3):
Multiply 1-hour result by:
To get the:
3-hour concentration
8-hour concentration
24-hour concentration
Annual concentration
Significance Determination
If predicted concentrations from screening modeling are below their respective significant impact levels (as defined in MEDEP-BAQ Regulations, Chapters 100 and 110) for a given regulated pollutant, then no additional modeling is necessary for that pollutant.
Significant Impact Area
The area which is significantly impacted by the source, based on screening modeling, shall be defined as a circular area surrounding the source with radius equal to the maximum distance to which screening no longer predicts concentrations that exceed significance levels. This area, which is significantly impacted by the source, may be redefined using the results of sequential modeling for the source only (see Refined Modeling section for methodologies).
Interactive Sources
If screening modeling results indicate significance levels being exceeded by the source being modeled, then other nearby sources may need to be included in the analysis. If applicable, MEDEP-BAQ will provide the applicant with a list of any sources that may have to be included in the multi-source modeling analysis and the model input data for these sources. The list will contain all data required for model input including source location(s), emission rates, stack parameters, and model-ready BPIP input files or necessary building dimensions for the applicant to determine direction-specific building parameters.
Although the results tend to be very conservative, it is possible for a combined source analysis to demonstrate compliance using only screening modeling. If the total predicted maximum concentrations of all sources, modeled separately, when added to background does not exceed ambient air quality standards or if the total predicted maximum ambient increment concentration does not exceed ambient increment limits, then compliance with the ambient air quality standards and ambient increment standards shall have been demonstrated and no further modeling will be required. This approach applies to simple, complex and intermediate terrain modeling.
If single and/or combined source modeling results cannot demonstrate compliance with MAAQS or increment standards, refined modeling will be necessary.
Further guidance on modeling contributions from other nearby sources using a screening model can be found in Screening Procedures for Estimating the Air Quality Impact of Stationary Sources.

'Saint of Lost Items' is lost; statue of St. Anthony reported missing
When Catholics lose something, they pray to St Anthony.
And in Green Bay, St. Anthony himself is lost after somebody stole his statue from a secluded chapel on the University of Wisconsin campus.
The 4-and-one-half-foot statue was discovered missing on Sunday.
Joan Jadin, whose family takes care of the chapel, says it might have been stolen last Saturday - which is the Feast Day of St. Anthony.

This monument is located on the site of Kellogg's Grove, an early settlement established in 1827 on a mail route between Peoria and Galena, and now on the National Register of Historic Places. It honors those killed in the Blackhawk War, including in the final Illinois Battle which occurred at this grove in June, 1832. Abraham Lincoln, a member of the Illinois militia, helped bury five of the slain men. The remaining soldiers were originally buried throughout the area at the spots at which they fell. Fifty years after the war, local farmers collected the remains and buried them in one enclosure on top of this hill overlooking the Yellow Creek Valley. The 34-foot high monument was dedicated in 1886.

WCC Announces:
WCC Wins Top Tier Vendor Position at MITRE Multi-Cultural Name Matching Challenge
MITRE�s Inaugural Name Matching Challenge Determines the Top Identity Matching Technologies for Government Departments
WASHINGTON, DC, October 6, 2011
� WCC, a global leader in advanced search and match technologies, today announced that its ELISE ID software was awarded one of the three Top Tier Vendors in the MITRE Multi-cultural Name Matching Challenge. MITRE organized the challenge to determine the top identity matching technologies as part of its ongoing research for the Department of Defense, the Federal Aviation Administration, the Internal Revenue Service and Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts.
The MITRE organization, a non-profit research organization for the US federal government, issued a comprehensive name matching challenge to the participating companies. The challenge focused on using only name information to determine an identity, since this is a central challenge in, for example, government watch list operations, background checks, and fraud prevention efforts.
WCC�s ELISE ID is a versatile and powerful search and match software system that uses all available data in determining an identity, including names and other biographic or contextual data as well as data from multiple biometric modalities. For the MITRE Multi-cultural Name Matching Challenge, the company used a range of libraries and algorithms, as well as its intelligent fusion capabilities, to iteratively improve match results.
This approach allowed WCC�s ELISE ID technology to adapt to the MITRE criteria and to create a configuration that was optimized for the challenge. This approach is how WCC works with each of its customers in real-world deployments so that the technology meets customer and context specific needs.
�Being selected as a finalist in the MITRE Challenge is a great honor for WCC,� said Peter Went, CEO of WCC. �Having an independent, third party validate ELISE ID�s superior search and match technology is an exciting milestone for us, and we welcome the opportunity to learn and grow from this kind of independent research. It is good for our company, our customers and the industry as a whole.�
MITRE named the finalists and award winners at a private ceremony in Washington DC on October 5, 2011. All finalists were invited to present their technologies to a government audience before the winners were announced.
About WCC
Founded in 1996, WCC is a global leader in advanced search and match software, serving both enterprise and government customers for over fifteen years. Its flagship ELISE Smart Search & Match platform is deployed worldwide in solutions addressing identification and job matching needs. WCC is a global company with US offices in Reston, VA and Palo Alto, CA. For more information, visit

EOS Bodies - For Stills / Possibly ok after dropped?
« on: November 09, 2014, 01:23:50 AM »
So at a wedding this evening a very drunk man stumbled into me as I was putting my camera away into my bag in the trunk. I was backed into the parking space and when he walked into me the 1DX dropped from my hand and fell right on the parking curb edge. Everything seems to work fine, obviously its not weather sealed anymore but other than cosmetics do you guys think it will be alright until i have a week or two off of weddings to send it in? I also have insurance though PPA but I am not sure if they will cover it since its so far just cosmetic damage. Thanks in advance!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
The Central Savannah River Area (CSRA) is a trading and marketing region in the U.S. states of Georgia and South Carolina, spanning thirteen counties in Georgia and five in South Carolina.[1][1] The term was coined in 1950 by C.C. McCollum, the winner of a $250 contest held by The Augusta Chronicle to generate the best name for the area.[1] Today the initialism is so commonly used that the full name is not known to all residents.[1] The region is located on and named after the Savannah River, which forms the border between the two states. The largest cities within the CSRA are Augusta, Georgia and Aiken, South Carolina.
The total population of the CSRA is 709,433. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the six-county Augusta-Richmond County Metropolitan Statistical Area (at the center of the CSRA) had an estimated population of 580,270 in 2013,[2] making it the second most populous in the state of Georgia.

Multimodal Spectral Imaging of Cells Using a Transmission Diffraction Grating on a Light Microscope
Applied Spectroscopy, Vol. 65, Issue 6, pp. 575-583 (2011)
Acrobat PDF (563 KB)
A multimodal methodology for spectral imaging of cells is presented. The spectral imaging setup uses a transmission diffraction grating on a light microscope to concurrently record spectral images of cells and cellular organelles by fluorescence, darkfield, brightfield, and differential interference contrast (DIC) spectral microscopy. Initially, the setup was applied for fluorescence spectral imaging of yeast and mammalian cells labeled with multiple fluorophores. Fluorescence signals originating from fluorescently labeled biomolecules in cells were collected through triple or single filter cubes, separated by the grating, and imaged using a charge-coupled device (CCD) camera. Cellular components such as nuclei, cytoskeleton, and mitochondria were spatially separated by the fluorescence spectra of the fluorophores present in them, providing detailed multi-colored spectral images of cells. Additionally, the grating-based spectral microscope enabled measurement of scattering and absorption spectra of unlabeled cells and stained tissue sections using darkfield and brightfield or DIC spectral microscopy, respectively. The presented spectral imaging methodology provides a readily affordable approach for multimodal spectral characterization of biological cells and other specimens.

Flow NXT-FRX
Those of you that already know, i was ordering new bindings from the extreme foot pain and process of elimination so:
Just picked these up today, went through the set up vid on the Flow website, and off to the local hill i go. first run like everyone else that has tried them i am sure, was a little different, but made it down the hill. From the second run on, it was life changing! i had the most amazing time tonight! these bindings are so stiff and had amazing response! I can't believe what a difference these are compared to my technines! thanks to all those for the advice, and i would def say if you are looking at these to get em! i will update after a mountain ride! hopefully next week sometime. |

Maybe NXT-FRX bindings are stiff, nevertheless skilled son of a gun like me can make it softer
now i sit and think about where i can get new strap. I bought it 14 months ago so no warranty. And no spare parts in retail. Sad but true.

My experience with Flow customer service has been excellent. Find their email addy on their web site and send them a nice letter telling how much you love your Flows and how bummed you are to be out of commission; when my high-back cable broke they responded within a few hours and sent me TWO complete cable assemblies. You're not out of luck yet. The addy on their site might be generic. If you don't hear back, pm me and I'll send you the addy of the person who helped me (sorry, not right to publish her addy on a board without her ok).

I just had the same problem with one of my flows. Older model NXT-FS from the 08 season. I got them brand new at the end of last year so they are still under warranty. They are going to give me a new pair of what ever ones I choose and I think I am going to try the FRX. Props to thier support on my end...

Drumlanrig Castle
Drumlanrig Castle (from Scottish Gaelic: 'druim' - ridge, and 'lanraig' - hawk) is situated on the Queensberry Estate in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. The category A listed castle is the Dumfriesshire home of the Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch and Queensberry.[1]
The 'Pink Palace' of Drumlanrig,[2] constructed between 1679 and 1689 from distinctive pink sandstone,[3] is an example of late 17th century Renaissance architecture. The first Duke of Queensberry, William Douglas, had the castle built on the site of an ancient Douglas stronghold overlooking Nith Valley.[4] The castle has 120 rooms, 17 turrets and 4 towers.[5]
Art collection[edit]
The castle is home to part of the Buccleuch art collection which includes Rembrandt's An Old Woman Reading,[5] and Leonardo da Vinci's Madonna of the Yarnwinder which was stolen in 2003 and returned in 2007 after being found in Glasgow[6] and many other paintings, tapestries and objects of art.
The stableyard houses the Stableyard Studios and cafe.[7][citation needed]
