Maple Leafs: HBO 24/7 Road to the Winter Classic debut episode review
SPOILER ALERT: Don't read on if you don't want to know what happens in the first episode of HBO's 24/7 series featuring the Maple Leafs and Red Wings.
If you're tuning into HBO's 24-7 "Road to the Winter Classic" on the Maple Leafs and Red Wings on Sunday night, and looking for hardcore language and views of the harder edges of hockey life, then change the channel.
The two teams, having allowed the U.S. network a no-holds-barred look at their inner sanctums, come away as regular guys in the first of two parts HBO aired in the U.S. on Saturday night.
Part 2 is scheduled for Dec. 21 — with the game itself going Jan. 1. Part one airs in Canada on Sunday night on SportsNet (7:30 p.m. ET), and what hockey mad viewers will get out of the Leafs portion of the hour-long is a narrative that has already played out on the sports pages and newscasts this past week.
That's the pattern that the HBO specials have followed the past two years, and it's the daily drama — things like footage of wins and losses, and players recovering from injury — that paces this show.
Yes, there's some juicy stuff: we're afforded a view of some of Randy Carlyle's between-period messages, and those of Detroit coach Mike Babcock. A Joffrey Lupul fight in Wednesday's game against Los Angeles is particularly riddled with coarse language, but that's expected.
The bulk of the show, though, follows a simple narrative, revolving around some core players — Dion Phaneuf and Lupul — and spliced with a profile of Carlyle (and Babcock, for Red Wings fans).
Here's the Toronto scenes that matter:
Phaneuf is shown like any person might be in the morning, leaving for work and kissing his loved ones goodbye; in this case, it's wife of five month, Elisha Cuthbert, and six-month old pup, Pearl.
Carlyle enters the dressing room during intermission with his club within striking distance of a much-needed win.
"For us, creating the forecheck . . . put pucks in, go to work, force them to play (expletive) defence," the coach says.
It segues into Toronto's collapse in Boston last May in the playoffs, and some reflections by Cody Franson, Nazem Kadri and Lupul — all of which we've heard before.
Lupul is shown performing a number of interesting exercises to strengthen the muscle. He comes back two days later against Los Angeles, and all hell breaks lose.
But Lupul's segment works around to the fact the Leafs have not won a Stanley Cup since '67. "I'd like to be one of the group that brings back the Cup to Toronto," he says. "But . . . it has nothing to do with me or the staff here in Toronto. All we can control is how hard we work. It seems like a daunting task when someone says you haven't won a Cup in 46 years. Well, I haven't won in three years here so that's all I can apologize for."
And that's the main and riveting stuff . . . but you can be the judge of that tonight.
Correction - December 16, 2013: This article was edited from a previous version that mistakenly said the Leafs have not been in the playoffs since 1967.

MSU Cheerleader Tackles UW's Badger in '99
School mascots are expected to goof around and be mischievous on the sidelines of college football games. But in the not-so-humble opinion of a Michigan State male cheerleader in 1999, Bucky the Badger took that mischief one step too far when he stole the Spartans' team flag during that year's MSU-Wisconsin game.
Bucky's punishment, courtesy of the aforementioned MSU cheerleader: Being laid out near the back of one of the end zones at Camp Randall Stadium, much to the dismay of the Badgers' home crowd.
The MSU cheerleader's tackle was a harder hit than any that the Spartans football team could claim on the day. Wisconsin gashed them for 301 yards on the ground — 214 of which came courtesy of eventual Heisman Trophy winner Ron Dayne — in a 40–10 rout.

The Pritchetts could have used the money. After living in shelters for six months and squirreling away every spare dime from Rosemary's monthly $386 disability checks, the family had recently put in a $1,200 bid on an abandoned house that had been seized by the county for nonpayment of taxes. Pritchett's own nest egg didn't quite cover the bid she calculated was necessary, so she reluctantly accepted her children's offer to make up the $61 difference from their allowances. Still, she was not about to take advantage of someone else's ill fortune. "Not for a tiny moment did I consider cashing the check." she recalls. "I was thinking. 'The person who lost this must be frantic.' "
Pritchett, 32, was determined to do the right thing but never anticipated that her honesty might be rewarded many times over. "I know if I keep my eyes on the Lord, then everything will fall in place," she says, "To me, the check was just a piece of paper. If anything, it was put there to test my faith."
That evening, after putting her kids to bed at the Cross Roads homeless shelter in Independence, Mo., Pritchett phoned Cheryl Wood, the woman to whom the payroll check was made out. Wood, a nurse who lives in a three-bedroom Victorian-style home with her husband, Derek, and their daughter, Jennifer, 11, was flabbergasted. "I counted the check gone," she says. "It didn't enter my mind that anyone would call." When Wood arrived at Cross Roads a half hour later, Pritchett had just one request: She wanted a thank-you note for her children. But after learning of Pritchett's efforts to buy a home, Wood decided a simple thank-you wasn't enough. "She had gone out of her way for me," says Wood. "I was determined to do something to help her."
Pritchett has known little but hard times most of her life. A native of Saginaw, Mich., she ran away when she was 12 to escape an unhappy home and shuttled between foster families as a teenager. At 17, she took off for North Carolina and found sanctuary briefly with a Baptist deacon and his wife; later she became pregnant and fled to a home for unwed mothers in California, where Jeremiah was born. Moving back to the Midwest in 1981, Pritchett settled in Milwaukee, where she became engaged and gave birth to her two daughters. But this relationship deteriorated, she says, and for a year she took refuge in a women's shelter. She subsequently worked as an upholsterer in Pittsburg, Kans., and attended night classes to become a paralegal. In 1988, suffering from posttraumatic stress distress, she qualified for Social Security disability payments and since then has been living in public housing, trailer parks and homeless shelters in the Kansas City area.
Despite her troubles, Pritchett has kept her kids in school and done her best "to maintain a sense of family," she says. The day after she found the check, Pritchett's bid for the house was approved and her luck suddenly began to improve. True to her word, Wood volunteered to help out with the renovation. "I asked what her color schemes would be," says Wood. "It just shows how naive I was." When she dropped by to see the house, Wood was shocked at the extent of the disrepair. The windows were boarded up, and inside she found Pritchett and her children trying to rip out broken plaster walls with small hand tools. Wood first convinced Charlie Copeland, a fellow member of Kansas City's Broadway Baptist Church, to volunteer his services as a general contractor. Then she started going through the Yellow Pages to enlist further help.
Almost immediately, the A.B. May Co. did electrical wiring, and Neenan Plumbing donated a water heater. After Wood contacted local media, who publicized the project, nearly 200 people volunteered help or money. Home-supply store owner Jim Hatfield replaced doors and provided custom-made windows for the Pritchett's new home. Judy Billman, an interior decorator, found donors for flooring, fabrics, wallpaper and some furniture. Ruby Bateman offered to make quilts. And used-car dealer Bill Adkins, learning that Pritchett was getting up at 5 A.M. to take her kids on a two-hour bus ride to school, gave her a 1986 Hyundai, complete with free maintenance.
After two months in their new home, the Pritchett family is ecstatic. Jeremiah, who initially was afraid his school friends would learn he was homeless, now has something to be proud of. Pritchett wants to resume her paralegal studies. Meanwhile, she and Wood hope the friends who have rallied to their cause will be inspired to help other homeless people. "It's kind of like an extended family," says Pritchett. A very large extended family. Last weekend 70 volunteers gathered at the Pritchett home for a housewarming. "People were awed by the change," she says. "It was like everybody was opening a Christmas present."

Pastel Post Processing and Fuji Colors
Since my earliest adventures in photography and post work, I have been drawn to the "pastel look" – a light, airy style with soft colors, glowy brightness, and subdued contrasts. Achieving this with my digital images required a lot of time and patience, and as I discovered, it was a rather difficult look to get right.
When I first discovered film, I found there was a similar trend among film photographers (specifically in the wedding industry) towards a pastel color palette. If you peruse the Internet for film wedding photography, you'll find that a bright pastel look is a common theme – and to achieve it, you'll see a combination that repeats over and over: Contax 645 with the Zeiss 80mm f/2.0, Fujifilm Pro 400H, and scanning and processing by a reputable pro photo lab. While similar effects are had using other cameras and films, the results of this particular combination have become almost an almost instantly recognizable look. Many of the world's top wedding photographers, such as Jose Villa or Elizabeth Messina, have made this look very popular.
Contax 645, Zeiss 80mm f/2.0, Fuji Pro 400H
These signature pastel colors are created with the combination of the Fujifilm Pro 400H color palette, the right exposure, and how the scans are processed by the lab. So can this formula be translated to digital? Let's examine these steps one by one.
1. The Fujifilm Pro 400H color palette
Fuji Pro 400H film looks wonderful when it's overexposed. The colors overall get warmer, the mid-tones (especially reds and blues) get poppy and bright, and highlights take on a peachy tone. This palette is the perfect base for pastels.
Pastels are possible with any digital camera, but some color palettes simply translate better to pastel hues. I have worked with Canon, Nikon and Fuji digital cameras, and in my opinion, the Canon color palette works better for pastels than the Nikon. But my favorite digital for pastels is the Fuji. I have worked with both the Fuji X-Pro1 and the X-E1, and as I shoot Fuji Pro 400H film as well, I was especially interested to see how the color palettes of Fuji digital and Fuji film compare. I put this to the test recently and compared side-by-side shots of the Fuji X-E1 and Fujifilm Pro 400H to show how similar the palettes are.
If you're a digital shooter and you love this "film pastel" look, or just the look of pastels in general, in my experience the best place to start is with a Fuji digital camera. You will automatically get the base palette that translates most alike to what you see from a lot of film photographers who are shooting Fujifilm, and if you're picky about the colors like I am, you'll probably be happiest with the Fuji palette. Fuji does reds and blues like no one else, and unlike what you see from a lot of other digital cameras, greens and yellows look much more natural and pleasing from Fuji. The tone of Fuji's colors, plus the intensity of the color, is just the right starting point for getting pastels – and will require the least work to get there.
But regardless, this look can be achieved with other digital cameras too, as long as the exposure is right – which is the next point:
2. Proper exposure
Film photographers know that Fujifilm Pro 400H needs at least a stop of overexposure just for "proper" exposure (it's commonly considered more of a 200-speed film than 400), but for a pastel result I like to overexpose at least 2 stops. My husband Johnny Patience demonstrated this recently using my Contax 645 and Pro 400H film over a 5-stop range. You can see the pastel tones come out at about +2, and from there it gets more saturated & contrasty with each additional stop.
For obtaining pastels with digital, you need the right exposure as well. If you expose for zero, or what your camera interprets as "proper" exposure, you may have difficulties getting pastels in your final result. I shoot my digital images a bit overexposed. This lifts the shadows, lessens harsh contrasts and pushes mid tones and shadows into the upper mid tone and highlight tonal range – the tonal range of pastels. This is a crucial and often-overlooked step. Many people who are frustrated by not being able to achieve this light, airy look are simply starting out with an exposure that may be technically correct, but too dark for pastels.
It's very important to note that you won't get the same results just by bumping the exposure later in Lightroom or other RAW processing software. Colors are based on your original exposure, because your camera renders shadow tones differently than mids or highlights in-camera. If you brighten up shadows later, that base shadow tone still remains – it's just artificially brighter. This can often produce a very unflattering result. The same concept applies for exposing portraits. I always expose in camera for the skin tone at +1, so that my camera interprets the skin tone as an upper mid or highlight tone. If you expose skin tone at neutral gray or zero (which your camera will try to do with auto settings), it would interpret skin tone as a mid tone, which is the wrong zone. When you try to brighten the image up later, it's likely you will end up with a color cast to the skin. Personally I find that overall it is better to expose it right in camera than to make exposure adjustments later.
Overexposing is much more tricky with digital than it is with film. Film is extremely forgiving in this regard; as long as you don't underexpose, you're pretty safe. When I shoot Pro 400H I shoot it about 2 stops overexposed. But unlike film, if you try to shoot +2 or more with digital you will end up with severely blown-out, washed-out images. I try to stick to a rule of thumb of always shooting RAW, and exposing +1/3 – +2/3 stops in digital, and this works even better with Fuji's digital cameras. The X-E1 and its X-sensor counterparts have a remarkable dynamic range and color rendition in difficult lighting situations. Although the X-Pro1 and X-E1 can't exactly replicate film, they get much closer to a film result than any other digital I've used – and even with shooting a stop (or more) overexposed sometimes, they still retain great highlight detail. This makes the Fuji X-series cameras the best currently available digital cameras, in my view, for the pastel lover. You can overexpose your images without too much worry about highlight detail loss.
If you want to shoot a bit brighter but don't want to change your metering style, you can just use exposure compensation on your camera to ensure that you end up with the result you want.
3. Post work
The pastel look you often see in film wedding photography is the result of applying certain scanner settings, density correction or color profiling by the lab, which tweak brightness, contrast and color tones. Post work is a necessary step when scanning film. For example, when Pro 400H (and other films) are overexposed, they get very contrasty and saturated. Pro labs will often density correct in scanning to even out the exposure and make the overall result more harmonious and pleasing. Scanners also have the ability to correct color casts, add warmth or coolness, and affect color tones.
Obtaining a pleasing pastel result for your digital images will require post work too. While you don't have the problem of harsh shadows with overexposing digital, you have another set of problems: highlights might blow out, color tones need work, and the contrast might not be enough. This is where post processing comes in and where it's crucially important to treat your images carefully. Pastels are delicate, and so is the post process that they require.
If you enjoy playing around in Lightroom, ACR or Photoshop, here are a couple of hints that might help you as you work on your pastels:
– Find balance. White balance is extremely important. While Fuji gets it right most of the time, I often had annoying problems with my Canon or Nikon getting the white balance wrong. Make sure you make any necessary adjustments before you begin your post process; there is nothing worse than trying to get a pastel result out of an image that is too warm or too cold.
– Watch the histogram. The below example demonstrates histograms from an X-E1 SOOC, the same shot with my new Honeycomb preset applied in Lightroom, and a pro lab film scan. You will notice in the post processed and film examples that the histograms are very similar. Both shadows and highlights clip, or don't reach to the end of the range. This means that your highlights won't be completely white, and your shadows won't be completely black. The histogram should build up to the highlight range, with the highest levels being in the top third of the histogram. As you work with your brightness, keep an eye on these levels.
Left: SOOC, Fuji X-E1
Middle: Honeycomb preset in Lightroom 4 (from Pro Set II, available August 2013)
Right: Contax 645, Zeiss 80mm f/2.0, Fuji Pro 400H
– Work the colors. Not every digital camera has the prettiest tones, and you will often need to make adjustments to the individual color hues or saturation to get the toning right.
– Love your curves. RGB curves are a very important tool, and with their introduction to Lightroom 4 & 5, a whole new world of possibilities opened up for Lightroom users. Learn how to use them to your advantage to beautify your color palette and add subtle highlight and shadow toning. Playing with curves can be a lot of fun and give you some interesting results. But a word of caution: work with curves carefully, because it's easy to overdo them. Remember that pastels need a delicate treatment; they should look subtle and natural. A good result should fool the eye into believing that the colors it sees are the colors that were really there.
Many of my presets and actions were developed with a pastel look in mind and work exceptionally well with Fuji's color palette. While my products are not focused on emulating any one film, many of them are inspired by the beautiful Fuji pastel film look.

Bottom: Fuji X-E1, Fujinon 35mm 1.4, Honeycomb preset in Lightroom 4 (from Pro Set II, available August 2013).
If you don't like extensive post production and would rather prefer a one-click pastel, maybe you'll find one of these products helpful. They will optimize your exposure and are calibrated to produce a pleasing pastel palette for all camera brands including Fuji.

July 31, 2013Hi Anastasia,
Thank you for your comment – I will email you with the links!
July 26, 2013Love how thorough you are in this post! I also shoot with the same digital and film cameras (Contax 645 and Fuji X-E1) and have also been playing around for a long time now trying to achieve the pastel color palette on my digital photos. You essentially explained everything I went through myself! I also have the Canon 5D classic and Mark II, and from my experience the 5D classic is much easier to work with to achieve the pastel tones. The Mark II, however, is better with achieving the bolder look of Kodak's films. Anyhow, love your blog.

August 3, 2013Hi Rebecca,
I've been following your work for a while now (since your earlier Flickr days) and am a big fan of yours. I have two of your preset sets and just love them. I recently started experimenting with film and even joined a workshop a few weeks ago to learn and discover more about exactly what you have written here, in respect to film.
From a digital perspective, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this article and the way you've explained how digital can work to achieve a similar colour palette. Your advice is invaluable so a big thank you! I have the Fuji X100 and you've motivated me to experiment more with it now :)) Anyway, I love this article and can't wait for your new pro presets to become available!

January 29, 2014Hi Rebecca,
Thanks for this wonderful blog. Question? I use Canon 5Dmark iii and I edit on Aperture 3. I have been trying to get the pastel look with aperture but I just can't do it. Do you have presets for Aperture? or do I have to switch to LR.
Rebecca Lily
January 29, 2014Hi JP, Thank you for your comment! I don't currently offer presets for Aperture, they are only available for Lightroom and ACR.
May 12, 2014Oh my, how can I buy the preset? The one you call LR Pro Set II – Available August 2013. I absolutely love how you got the colours here!
Rebecca Lily
May 13, 2014Hi Maria,
Thank you for the kind feedback! You can purchase Pro Set II for Lightroom & ACR here: http://www.rebeccalily.com/products/lightroom-acr-presets-pro-set-ii/
June 23, 2014Dear Rebecca,
Thank you for sharing your wisdom!
I wonder, are your presets (Pro Set II) ready to go for Canon 5d? I mean, do you have a color profile set up for Canon users?
Or is it a standard configuration for most cameras, but perfect for Fuji cameras?Kind regards,
Rebecca Lily
June 23, 2014Hi Elin,
Thank you for your visit and comment! I'm very happy you found the post helpful. Pro Set II has been extensively tested and will reliably work on all camera models including the Canon 5D. While the color palette of Fuji cameras is the ideal base for Fuji 400H film colors, you can achieve great results with Canon, Nikon and other manufacturers using the presets with proper exposure and white balance. The preview example images for the pastels (http://www.rebeccalily.com/products/lightroom-acr-presets-pro-set-ii/) were shot with a mix of Nikon and Fuji cameras.

August 11, 2014Rebecca, I've really enjoyed the pro ii presets for their subtle enhancements. I've noted no additions to this blog page I've bookmarked and wondered if I can subscribe. Thank you for your beautiful way of seeing.

The Big Apple, the city that never sleeps, or just plain old New York City, is no stranger when it comes to press conferences and unveiling of new devices as well as mobile operating systems where major names are concerned, and this time around, New York City will play host to the unveiling of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S4, as confirmed by J.K. Shin of Samsung. According to Mr. Shin, he informed a South Korean website that the Galaxy S4 unveiling will occur in New York this time around, as they were continued to be "bombarded with requests from US mobile carriers."
This move should not come across as a surprise for many, especially when you consider how Samsung has invested a fair amount of money for market moves in the US, not to mention the fact that the US remains Apple's home market, and Samsung is involved in a titanic tussle with Cupertino to capture the hearts, minds, and of course, wallets of the smartphone crazy public. We have reliable information to venture a March 14th unveiling date for the Samsung Galaxy S4.

A new line-up of free youth programmes will feature at this year's New Zealand Mountain Film Festival in Queenstown and Wanaka.
The charitable trust which runs the annual festival was focused on encouraging people, especially young people, to enjoy safe outdoor adventures, festival director Mark Sedon said.
''Offering youth an insight into the possibilities of adventure lies at the heart of the festival's mandate. The youth programme ensures that the festival is accessible and affordable for everyone ... and that we ... inspire the next generation of Kiwi adventurers.''
In Wanaka, under-18-year-olds can take part in a free photography competition, a free two-and-a-half-hour show on Monday, July 7, featuring a talk and films, and a scholarship programme - open to Otago high school pupils - for the two-day Adventure Film School.
The same show will feature on Friday, July 11, in Queenstown.
Mr Sedon is seeking donations of items for the festival auction, which raises money for a grant scheme. The grants will help fund youth in film-making courses and adventure skills training, local environmental projects and sporting equipment for people with disabilities.
A name, residential address, and (preferably residential) telephone number is required from readers who comment on ODT Online. These details will not be visible to site visitors.

I work on a page in Django, where users can set custom reminders for different dates (max. 3 per date). The reminders should send via e-mail. Its similar to Google Calendar, where you can set multiple reminders for each event in x-minutes, x-hour or x-days before the date starts. I wonder, how I can solve it combined with Django. Since there will be a lot of users and dates, which should of course also run perfomant. Should I do this with a cron job? Is there a python way?
Take the 2-minute tour
Stack Overflow is a question and answer site for professional and enthusiast programmers. It's 100% free, no registration required.
The other traditional way is to use django-celery: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-celery/ You can use the celerybeat command to run periodical tasks. Also you can start pending tasks from a django view. |
You can use a cron job. To create a management command: refer to the documentation here Also, you can create the email generation as a queue based, distributed implementation for enhanced performance. You can use Django-mailer app for the same. |

To the editor:
I am responding to the Journal-World article of April 17, "KNI fights Brownback budget for survival." The article by Scott Rothschild is accurate about the plight of Kansas Neurological Institute's residents, guardians and parents. From 1980 to 1989, I was the personnel director and I am well acquainted with its mission. The staff there works hard to help the residents and knows them well.
This facility, as well as other state hospitals, are audited by the state and federal government as to the quality of care and other issues. This aspect of official review is generally overlooked in articles about KNI and other federally subsidized facilities. If the facility closes, so does accountability for its actions. If the state closes the facility, what will become of this aspect?
KDHE will need a larger number of staff to conduct audits on nursing homes and that will require more government and more cost, not less. The secretary of SRS is a governor appointee, so the agency is not independent of the governor or the Legislature. After retirement, I served on the Human Rights Committee of KNI, which oversees any change in a patient's care. What will happen to this overview of patient care? We really need to consider the welfare of all people involved and solve these problems if possible.

DEFINITION of 'Lead Time'
The amount of time that elapses between when a process starts and when it is completed. Lead time is examined closely in manufacturing, supply chain management and project management, as companies want to reduce the amount of time it takes to deliver products to the market. In business, lead time minimization is normally preferred.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Lead Time'
Lead time is broken into several components: preprocessing, processing and post processing. Preprocessing involves determining resource requirements and initiating the steps required to fill an order. Processing involves the actual manufacturing or creation of the order. Post processing involves delivery of products to the market. Companies look at each component and compare it against benchmarks to determine where slowdowns are occurring.

Dance: the movement activity for the elderly.
Here is an all-purpose -- and inexpensive -- activity providing many benefitsDance equals the most vigorous of sport participation and it may provide the same physical exertion that sports and games provide with less space requirements. Dr. Kenneth Cooper, founder of the Aerobics Center in Dallas, states "ballroom dance is a fairly minimal activity, but if you can combine frequency per week with duration, you can get a nice training effect." Other possible physical benefits of dance for older adults include: improved balance, coordination and kinesthetic awareness, improved alignment with decreased arthritis difficulties, insomnia, neuromuscular hypertension, and low back pain. Dance also seems to maintain interest better than a regimen of calisthenics.
Dance may contribute to the physical fitness of its participants through versatile exercise that aids muscle tone, weight control, gracefulness, general body control, and health. In 1988, Sutton at the University of Minnesota found that middle-aged men who participated in moderate activity over a seven year period reduced the risk of fatal coronary heart disease incidence by thirty-seven percent. Simmons measured changes in the cardiorespiratory systems of older adults after participating in thirty sessions of dancing and no form of aerobic dance was used, only modified folk, couple, and square dances. Results identified that low to moderate intensity in a regular dance program did contribute significant improvements in predicted V|O.sub.2~ Max and resting systolic blood pressure. These findings support the premise that dancing is a legitimate aerobic workout for older adults.
Dance provides for self expression, even if it's only shuffling movements, which still have some element of "creating one's own routine". Each individual shuffles their feet as they wish to. Though some dance forms such as square and folk have very structured steps and formations, ballroom and social dance allow individuals to be creative and try different steps and moves.
Social Interaction
Dance has long been a rationalization for getting people together. Unlike other activities, dance allows participants to concentrate on each other rather than play to an audience or strive to meet regimented skill specifications. Dance may decrease isolation, loneliness and boredom, increase tactile support, cooperation and enjoyment, and it also gives participants something to do with their hands, feet, and body if communicating on a purely verbal level is awkward.
Other areas that dance may contribute to include:
Rhythm and coordination
Relaxation and escape
Recognition and understanding of one's own culture
Opportunity for adventure and new experience
Characteristics of the Aged
According to Shephard, there are two primary questions that the leader of an older adult dance program must consider. First, what movements and fitness demands are required to successfully perform this dance? Dances with slow tempos and very little locomotion involved should be chosen for those individuals with minimal fitness levels. As fitness levels improve the tempo and amount of space that steps cover may be increased.
Secondly, what is the skill complexity and cognitive demands of this dance? Older individuals need clear and concrete instructions and an opportunity to learn at their own pace. Begin with only the basic steps of a social dance or the most simple degree of difficulty for folk and square dances. Progression on step complexity should be slow with sufficient repetition for learning. The gradual loss of sensitivity in the feet will affect the older adult's sense of position and balance; therefore, steps requiring rapid change in motion or direction should be avoided.
Individuals should have a medical examination before participation in dance programs. After the examination the instructor then needs to assess the biomechanical capabilities and weaknesses to determine appropriate type and intensity of movement according to the need of each individual. There should be sensitivity to the variability of present fitness and mobility levels within the dances called. Traditional movements and their style of execution should be modified in response to signs of over-exertion. The risk of injuries, such as strains, and sprains increases with age, particularly after the age of 55. Furthermore, many older adults fear bodily injury during a movement activity, and for good reason, since an injury can be a serious blow to self-sufficiency and personal freedom.
In short, dance leaders should possess a sound understanding of these limitations and be able to teach the participants rules of safe participation.
Social/Emotional Characteristics
Motivation of the older adult to seriously participate in a dance program requires the leadership of a caring person who has a personality that assures the participant of success and well-being. The leader's ability to provide meaningful feedback that conveys an appreciation of the older adult's accomplishments will also be motivational.
Different types of dance can lead to different types of social interaction. Line and folk dances allow for simultaneous interaction among the group. Mixers allow for short acquaintances with everyone participating in the dance. Square dances provide interaction for a small group of friends. Social dances allow a couple to interact apart from the group, although the steps from the social dances can be performed in line formation without the need for separating into couples.
The Dance Routine
The first dances should always be chosen to slowly warm-up the body. The last dances should also be slow for a cooling-down effect. The routines between might alternate among fast, moderate, or slow tempos as long as continuous movement is sustained throughout. It is often helpful to end each class session with a short period of relaxation.
Any or all of these can be used to provide residents with exercise, social opportunities and fun -- and sustain and improve the independence they have remaining.
Frank B. Ashley III, EdD, is Assistant Professor, Department of Health and Kinesiology, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX, and Mary Crenan is on the staff of the Capital City Nursing Center, Austin, TX.
Some dances and options that may be included in a program for older adults include:
Folk Dances
Alunelul: Rumanian Folk Dance. Warm-up. Cotton-Eyed
Joe: American Heritage Dance. Warm up/Aerobic.
Cshebogar: Hungarian Gypsy dance that dramatizes the moth as it flies around a flame.
Green Sleeves: Old English country dance.
Hpak: Ukrainian dance
Hora: Israeli Dance, the name of which means "tempo" or "movement"
Miserlou: Greek dance (which originated, interestingly enough, at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, PA)
Virginia Reel: Originally known as Sir Roger DeCoverely, an English dance.
Social Dances
Waltz: May be played in one of three tempos Slow as a cool-down Medium or fast as warm-up
Fox-Trot: Can be danced to almost any good 4/4 meter music Tempo ranges from slow to medium speed
Samba: Latin American dance from Brazil may be danced at a fast or slow tempo, even though the faster tempo is generally preferred.
Rumba: Cuban dance in 4/4 meter Tempo ranges from fast to slow
Cha-Cha: Latin American dance that is said to be a Cuban innovation of the old basic Latin form. Written in 4/4 meter and can be used as a warm-up or aerobic dance.
Swing: The all inclusive term that is applied to syncopated Fox-trot dancing. Formerly called Jitterbug, Lindy, Hop, and various other names in different sections of the country. May be used as warm-up and aerobic activity.
Polka: Dance is done in uneven rhythm in 2/4 meter. Definitely an aerobic activity if done properly.

Oil seeping from failed 2010 spill-prevention equipment

GULF OF MEXICO — A sheen on the Gulf of Mexico likely came from oil seeping out of a piece of discarded equipment that failed to contain BP PLC's massive 2010 oil spill, the company and the Coast Guard said.
A statement from BP said a three-day inspection confirmed that its Macondo well, which blew out and led to the nation's worst offshore oil spill, isn't leaking. A relief well that intercepted the blown-out well and sealed it isn't leaking, either, BP said.
The company said the survey determined oil probably leaked from an 86-ton steel container the company lowered over a leaking drill pipe in efforts to funnel oil to the surface. The container was one of several methods BP used in its months-long effort to contain its blown-out well.
A sheen appeared in September on the Gulf and was linked by laboratory tests to the Macondo well.
The Coast Guard said oil samples collected on Wednesday would be analyzed to determine if the container is the source of the sheen.
"The Coast Guard is further evaluating what is believed to be seepage from the containment dome to determine how best to respond," Capt. Duke Walker said in a statement.
BP said this is the third time since the well was sealed in September 2010 that it has been inspected and confirmed not to be leaking.
The Coast Guard said underwater video showed apparent oil globules leaking from the steel container at an estimated rate of less than 100 gallons per day. The container is about 1,600 feet from the wellhead.
"It is entirely separate from the wellhead and any riser piping," the Coast Guard said. "Out of an abundance of caution, (a remotely operated vehicle) also inspected the original Macondo well area including the wreckage, debris, relief wells, and the riser on the sea floor and observed no oil leakage from that area."
The survey was conducted jointly by BP and Transocean Ltd, owner of the rig that sank after the blown-out well triggered an explosion that killed 11 workers. The Coast Guard oversaw the inspection.

Whidbey's Will Mellish earns the rank of Eagle Scout | NOTABLE
Eagle Scout Will Mellish of Langley was honored by family and close friends at a celebration on March 22.
Mellish, a South Whidbey High School junior, was awarded his Eagle Scout rank at a board of review in Oak Harbor on Dec. 16, 2010.
Sally Buckingham of the Daughters of the American Revolution presented the Scout with a flag that was flown over the United States Capitol on Jan. 12, and a letter from Congressman Rick Larsen.
During the ceremony, Mellish presented Eagle Mentor pins to Donny Neil and Duran Ulrich.
Mellish also thanked Craig Cyr and Scott Justus for their encouragement during his Scouting career.
Mellish's Eagle project was to clear a trail and build a turnpike from the parking lot to the beach access at Possession Point in Clinton.
Together with the Scouts of Troop 57, the team put in 149 hours on the project.
Mellish would also like to thank Dion McCauley of Frontier Lumber, Dave Walden of Rempel Brothers Concrete and Jim O'Connor of Jim's Garden Service for their donations of materials.
Mellish is the son of Rob and Kelli Mellish of Langley.

In this lesson students use climatograms from different U.S. locations to observe patterns in temperature and precipitation. After describing geographical features near these locations, they will use graphs to compare and find patterns in the... (View More) effects that mountains, oceans, elevation, and latitude have on temperature and precipitation. A research activity will then ask students to gather information on temperature and precipitation patterns around the world using the MY NASA DATA Live Access Server and other sources, with the goal of creating their own climatogram. This lesson uses the 5E instructional model. (View Less)
Students will learn about the Landsat spacecraft and its study of Earth from space through reading a NASA press release. By viewing a NASA eClips video segment, students will see how Landsat monitors conditions in the Chesapeake Bay. Then students... (View More) will use fractions to understand land use on Earth based upon Landsat data. This activity is part of the Space Math multi-media modules that integrate NASA press releases, NASA archival video, and mathematics problems targeted at specific math standards commonly encountered in middle school textbooks. The modules cover specific math topics at multiple levels of difficulty with real-world data and use the 5E instructional sequence. (View Less)
This is a building-wide enrichment program consisting of a series of posters and accompanying questions designed to pique student interest in science concepts and their application to the world in which we live. Accompanying each poster is a series... (View More) of question sheets of increasing difficulty levels that students answer and submit at a designated location (collection box, office, etc.). Random prize drawings can be used to recognize/celebrate student participation. The purpose is to expose students to and create school-wide interest about science so students want to "STOP for Science" as displays are changed throughout the year. Although the focus is building-wide, content can be linked to classrooms through use of accompanying teacher resource guides. The website includes several resources for program facilitators, including posters, answer sheets, podcasts, implementation guide and webinars for facilitators. The program targets grades 3-6 for independent use, but can be used with grades K-2 with adult or upper grade level assistance. Each poster in the series stands alone and is not tied to concepts in other posters. Therefore, posters can be displayed in any sequence desired. (View Less)
