Ticket Prices and Tips »
Respecting the environment is very important to me which is why I use every moment possible as a leader in this company to instill environmental stewardship in our employees. Building relationships with local suppliers and producers in Pemberton, Vancouver, and the Fraser Valley is key to the success of our restaurants. We have also embraced the Ocean Wise program run by the Vancouver Aquarium and are committed to supporting their initiatives towards sustainability.
Over the past couple of winters at Whistler Blackcomb we have refined our dietary options and developed a program to highlight vegan, vegetarian, gluten free and sodium reduced menu options for our guests. My goal is to get away from the "ski hill food mentality" and move to a fresher and healthier menu selection. We want to provide fresh and healthy dishes to fuel our many guests during their amazing days on the mountain.
Whistler Blackcomb's Food and Beverage department has updated some of its mouth-watering menu items and is undertaking new sustainability initiatives. Pemberton's Across The Creek Organics, is growing approximately 25,000 Russet potatoes exclusively for Whistler Blackcomb's baked potato stations at Glacier Creek and the Roundhouse Lodge. Steeps and Christine's will be using their Yukon Gold varieties.
Meanwhile, the Food and Beverage department is also working with Coca-Cola to grow its existing recycling program and to encompass other areas of waste reduction, including growing its organic waste disposal program. Currently, Whistler Blackcomb's restaurants recycle 80 per cent of their beverage containers.

CHARLESTON — A Boone County woman has been arrested in Charleston for stealing a purse and then biting a police officer who was attempting to detain her.
Parma Jo Bobbit, 52, of Boone County, was charged after police discovered she allegedly had a role in a purse snatching incident at the Kanawha City Bob Evans Restaurant.
According to police reports, Bobbie Legg, of Campbells Creek, Kanawha County, said she left her purse on the floor of the Bob Evans beside her chair. When she moved the chair back, she discovered the purse was missing.
Legg told police two women at the table behind hers, who did not order anything, were seen on surveillance video grabbing and leaving with her purse, which contained $100 cash, credit and debit cards, car keys and a cell phone.
Bobbit allegedly used the credit card minutes later at the Marmet Exxon.
It was then that the officer attempted to detain her based on available information.
While detaining her, Bobbit allegedly bit the police officer.
The incident is still under investigation but police say Bobbit will probably face theft charges in connection with the purse as well as charges of assaulting a police officer.

James Naughton
Host, 2005-2011
James Naughton has been a sci-fi fan for as long as he can remember. Growing up in the UK, he spent most of his early years cowering behind the sofa to the Daleks.
Always interested in technology, in early 2005 he started his own podcast, about everything and anything. This lead to involvement in various other shows, such as Rough, Ready and Raw and Doctor Who: Podshock. These days though, he prefers to invest his time podcasting solely about science fiction.
Louis Trapani
Louis Trapani founded the Gallifreyan Embassy (GE) in June of 1985 to serve the growing fandom centered around Doctor Who and other British science fiction during the mid-80s in the US. Originally a local organization with local meetings, today it is international, serving the global community.
In 1989, Louis graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) degree from the School of Visual Arts in New York where he majored in the media arts department.
Ken Deep
Ken Deep comes to podcasting from the traditional broadcasting medium. Having honed his skills in professional radio and television broadcasting, he applies the same vigor and enthusiasm to our podcasts.
He, along with Louis Trapani were there from the beginning of the Gallifreyan Embassy and helped to bring it to where it is today. His extensive knowledge of science fiction is evident in all our shows.
Ken continues his work in traditional broadcasting whilst also being one of the pioneers in new media. His experience interviewing people from a wide range of backgrounds is vast. From his work hosting a national show on Air America to being a voice-over talent, Ken has mastered it all and brings that experience to our podcasts.

With the U.S. 70 bypass being worked on for the future, the Corridor Commission wanted to solidify its structure in the present.
On Thursday, the Highway 70 Corridor Commission approved a document to formalize its bylaws and to also allow municipalities to join the board. Before the approval, only counties could be a part of the commission.
Robin Comer — Chairman of the Highway 70 Corridor Commission and a Carteret County Commissioner — said the board wanted to have a language on the document to have more members in case the municipalities wanted to play a part in the decision.
"This used to be all initiated by the counties," Comer said. "I feel like the Highway 70 corridor is important to the east, as well as transportation is concerned and municipalities should take a strong interest in it."
Kinston Mayor B.J. Murphy wanted the vote postponed until he could converse with administrators about the possible negative effects it could have on the city, but the commission approved it anyway.
"The city is concerned about the possibility of our taxpayers, who are also county taxpayers, having to pay extra money to get the same results," Murphy said. "Therefore, our only request was to delay the vote so the Kinston City Council or Lenoir County Transportation Committee could at least review a document that they haven't seen."
The commission didn't feel inclined to make alterations in its push to solidify the bylaws.
Comer also said the commission would be more than happy to work with
"Things can be changed in the future to work it toward everyone's benefit," Comer said. "We will work with them as they want to work with us. We're not making laws. We're a group advocating the corridor and we just want to keep this project on track."
Lenoir County Commissioner J. Mac Daughety — also the vice chair of the Highway 70 Corridor Commission — said the commission had been in place for about five years and needed the structure in the organization.
"This started as a loosely organized coalition without the necessary structure and bylaws," Daughety said. "It was brought to our attention when we tried to seek funding for economic impact study, which would be a huge economic benefit for all cities and counties around the Highway 70 Corridor. We needed to do things in an organized manner, which is the standard for boards and commissions."
In a statement to The Free Press earlier this month, Daughety said a route will be picked in late 2014 or early 2015 and the construction may start as early as 2017.
"They've narrowed down to about five routes as of now, but there isn't a definite determinant on one," Comer said. "We're still looking at a number of best routes, but there are a lot of factors to analyze, like environmental archeology and land acquisition. We're still at a study stage and there would be a lot of public input on that."
Kinston City Manager Tony Sears said there haven't been any discussions about the document because the administrators hadn't had the opportunity to take a look at it.
"The city council and city of

The Everglades restoration plan includes several projects located in Broward County, including the Broward Water Preserve Area (WPA) and the Broward County Secondary Canal Improvement Project.
These projects are designed to improve the quality of wetlands, reduce seepage from the Everglades, improve water quality, and provide urban water supply. The projects will also help recharge the aquifer and prevent saltwater intrusion.
Currently, the discharge of stormwater from our urban areas is required in order to maintain flood protection in western Broward County communities. However, this practice has resulted in damage to natural systems like the Everglades. When complete, the Broward WPA will dramatically reduce discharges of urban stormwater to the Everglades system. In a related effort, Broward County government is working with the state, local governments, and others to develop and implement a plan to reduce pollution by improving the quality of urban runoff.
The Broward County Secondary Canal Improvement Project may help reduce the County's reliance on the Everglades system for urban water supply - making more water available for restoration efforts. The County has included secondary canal improvement projects as a major component in its long - term water supply plan - the County - wide Integrated Water Resource Plan (IWRP). The region's natural systems will benefit greatly from the County's investments in these projects.
It is clear that Broward is committed to restoring the Everglades and protecting the region's water supply.
Thirty years seems like a long time to wait for the beautiful and natural ecosystems of South Florida to be restored and replenished, but undoing more than 100 years of man-made damage is not an easy feat. Though the majority of the work will be done through large projects funded by the federal, state, and local governments, and the SFWMD, it is important to realize that this plan is for all of us. By "knowing the flow" and understanding how we affect our water management system, we can facilitate the process, help restore and enhance the natural beauty of our region, and ensure the availability of water for years to come.

Identifying anaerobic lactate threshold by visual inspection: A study of validity and reliability
Laura C Bailly
Biology, Exercise Science and Sport Study, NATS
Poster presented at the 2014 Scholarship and Creativity Day at the College of Saint Benedict, St. Joseph, MN
Purpose: To examine the inter-rater reliability and concurrent criterion related validity of the visual inspection method of identifying anaerobic lactate threshold (T2). Methods: Existing blood lactate data from 14 Division III female cross country runners were used for this study. Runners completed a graded treadmill test to volitional exhaustion with blood lactate measurements at the end of each 2-min stage. Each subject's blood lactate and treadmill velocity data were plotted in Excel. Using scatterplot graphs, two expert raters independently created trend lines, representing each subject's lactate curve. Using the visual inspection method, raters independently identified each subject's LT2, defined as the point at which blood lactate began to rise in a rapid, non-linear fashion. Reference LT2 values were identified, using the Dmax method, by objectively measuring the point on each subject's lactate curve that produced maximal perpendicular distance from a line connecting the two ends of the curve. Intraclass correlation coefficient analysis (ICC 3,1) was used to examine inter-rater reliability and a Pearson product-moment correlation was used to examine concurrent criterion related validity. Results: Inter-rater reliability of the visual inspection method of identifying LT2 was judged to be fair (ICC = .730, 95% CI = -.174 - .927). The validity coefficients for Rater 1 (r = .851; P ≤ .001) and Rater 2 (r = .742; P = .002) in identifying LT2 were judged to be excellent and very good, respectively. Conclusion: Visual inspection may be a valid method of identifying of LT2. Future research should look to confirm this finding and compare the visual inspection method to other established methods. The fair inter-rater reliability and large confidence interval associated with the visual inspection method suggest caution should be used when comparing LT2 values derived from multiple raters.
Monitoring dance performance intensity using rate of perceived exertion: A criterion validity study
Maren E Iverson
Exercise Science and Sport Study
Poster presented at the 2014 Scholarship and Creativity Day at the College of Saint Benedict, St. Jospeh, MN
Purpose: To examine the strength of the relationship between rate of perceived exertion (RPE) and physiological measures of exercise intensity, specifically heart rate (HR) and blood lactate (BLa) concentration. Methods: The 14 Division III female dance team members who volunteered to participate in the study consumed a standardized meal containing 1.5 g carbohydrate per kilogram of body weight two hours prior to testing. The subjects' urine was tested using Accutest URS Hydration Strips to ensure normal hydration (specific gravity ≤ 1.020). Subjects were familiarized with Borg's CR-10 overall exertion RPE scale prior to testing. The dance test protocol was conducted in the College of St. Benedict' aerobics studio and consisted of performing four progressively longer segments of the dancers' two minute competitive jazz dance routine (0 to 30 s, 0 to 60 s, 0 to 90 s, and 0 to 120 s). Subjects rested between dance segments until BLa concentrations returned to baseline. HR, BLa, and RPE were assessed immediately upon completion of each dance segment. Bivariate correlations were used to examine the relationships between RPE, HR, and BLa concentrations. Results: Significant positive relationships were found between RPE (4.5 ±1.8) and BLa concentrations (6.7 mmol/L ±2.6) [r(56) = 0.634, P < .001] and between RPE and HR (183.4 bpm ± 0.7) [r(56) = 0.480, P < .001] during the dance performance. Conclusion: Because of the significant and relatively strong correlations between RPE and both HR and BLa concentrations, RPE appears to be a valid method of monitoring exercise intensity during a competitive dance team practice and performance.
Physiological demands of dance: A study of competitive DIII collegiate dancers
Tori M Grootwassink, Maren E Iverson
Exercise Science and Sport Study
Poster presented at the 2014 Scholarship and Creativity Day at the College of Saint Benedict, St. Jospeh, MN
Purpose: To better understand the physiological demand of a collegiate dance team performance and inform evidence based exercise program design for dancers. Methods: Fourteen Division III female dance team members participated in the study. A graded lactate treadmill test was completed to determine anaerobic lactate threshold for each subject. The dance test protocol consisted of performing four progressively longer segments of the dancers' two minute competitive jazz dance routine (0 to 30 s, 0 to 60 s, 0 to 90 s, and 0 to 120 s). Subjects rested between dance segments until blood lactate (BLa) concentrations returned to baseline. Heart rate (HR), BLa, and rate of perceived exertion (RPE) were assessed immediately upon completion of each dance segment. A descriptive analysis was used to characterize the subjects' physiological response to the dance routine performance. Results: There was a progressive increase in mean RPE, BLa, and HR from 30 s (2.5 ±, 0.8, 3.7 ± 1.0 mM, 176 ± 8.7 bpm) to 60 s (3.7 ± 0.8, 5.9 ± 1.2 mM, 185.7 ± 5.4 bmp) to 90 s (5.5 ± 1.2, 8.4 ± 2.1 mM, 187 ± 10.6 bpm) into the dance performance. At 120 s, mean HR decreased slightly [185 ± 10.0 bpm], while BLa and RPE continued to increase [8.7 ± 1.9 mM, 6.4 ± 1.3]. Six subjects reached anaerobic lactate threshold by 60 s, and all subjects reached anaerobic lactate threshold by 90 s. Conclusion: Competitive collegiate dance is a highly anaerobic activity as indicated by the rapid rise in BLa above anaerobic lactate threshold. Furthermore, dancers must maintain high intensity dance activity for 30-60 s after reaching anaerobic lactate threshold. These findings indicate that exercise programs designed for dancers should emphasize development of the anaerobic energy systems and enhance blood lactate clearance.

Poster presented at the 2014 Scholarship and Creativity Day at the College of Saint Benedict, St. Joseph, MN
The Landing Error Scoring System (LESS) was designed to assess the biomechanics of jump-landing techniques that are associated with risk of knee injury. Common movement patterns of an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury are prevalent in cutting movements found in the pro-agility test. The reliability and validity of the pro-agility test in assessing injury risk is unknown. Purpose: To test the reliability and validity of the pro-agility test in assessing compensatory movement patterns associated with risk of knee injury. Methods: Thirty Division III female agility athletes (volleyball n = 7, basketball n = 9, soccer n = 14) performed three box drop vertical jump test trials (BDVJ) from a 30cm box and two trials of the pro-agility test. All BDVJ trials were videotaped and the trial with the greatest vertical displacement was analyzed. LESS scores were calculated for the right leg and the LESS injury risk classifications were determined. Subjects performed two trials of the pro-agility test. All trials were videotaped and the right leg analyzed for movement patterns characteristic of ACL injury risk. Participants completed a health history survey regarding serious musculoskeletal injuries occurring in the past four years. Statistical analysis: Paired samples t-tests compared the two trials of the right leg extremity pro-agility injury risk classifications. A Pearson Correlation Coefficient was used to find the relationship between LESS and pro-agility scores. Results: No significant difference was found between the two pro-agility trials (Trial 1 M = 2.27, SD = .785, Trial 2 M = 2.33, SD = .802). LESS and pro-agility risk classifications were not related (r(30) = .189, p = .381). Conclusion: The pro-agility test has high test-retest reliability in assessing compensatory movements. Compared to the LESS assessment, the pro-agility scoring criterion used in the current study is not a valid test of knee injury risk assessment.

Purpose: To help establish the test-retest reliability of the Dynamic Postural Stability Index (DPSI), a relatively new clinical measure of dynamic postural stability. Methods: Forty-two healthy college students (19 men and 23 women) active in club or intramural change of direction sports participated in the study. Subjects completed three types of jumps (forward, lateral, and 90 degree mid-air rotational jump) on three occasions with 24- to 48- hours between test sessions. With hands on hips, subjects performed the three jumps, each equivalent to 50% of maximum jump distance, landing on the right lower extremity. Subjects were instructed to land onto the center of an AccuPower® force platform, stabilize as quickly as possible, and balance for three seconds. Ground reaction forces in the x-, y-, and z-directions were sampled at 400 Hz. Ground reaction forces were used to calculate the DPSI associated with landing from each of the three jumps performed on the three occasions (a total of nine jumps). Data were analyzed using an intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC 3,1) formula. Results: Test-retest reliability of the DPSI was judged to be good when landing from a forward jump (ICC = .807, 95% confidence interval [CI] = .678-.890), fair when landing from a rotational jump (ICC = .753, 95% CI = .588 -.859), and poor when landing from a lateral jump (ICC = .085, 95% CI = -.531-.478). Conclusion: The test-retest reliability of the DPSI is dependent on the type of jump performed prior to landing. Consistent with previous research, the DPSI was found to be a reliable measure of dynamic postural stability when the jump prior to landing emphasized anterior and vertical body movement. However, the current study suggests the test-retest reliability of the DPSI is reduced when a 90 degree mid-air rotation is performed prior to landing and is severely reduced when a lateral jump, challenging frontal plane stability, is performed prior to landing.
A Periodized, 52-Week Training Program for a Women's Ice Hockey Team

Poster presented at the 2014 Scholarship and Creativity Day at the College of Saint Benedict, St. Joseph, MN
The job of a strength and conditioning professional is to improve athletic performance. A periodized training program can enhance athletic performance while minimizing the risk of injuries. Designing training programs to maximize performance for ice hockey players can be difficult because ice hockey is one of the most physically demanding sports. All of the components of fitness are important in hockey: muscle endurance, strength, and power, and high oxidative and glycolytic capacities. The purpose of this project was to examine the muscular and cardiovascular demands of a women's ice hockey team and design a 52-week, periodized training program to facilitate advantageous physiological adaptations. A review of the literature was conducted prior to the program design to determine the common muscular and cardiovascular demands. Research on women's hockey is limited so men's hockey was analyzed when necessary. A needs analysis summarized the findings from the literature. The primary muscle groups for skating include: hip abductors and adductors, gluteus maximus and minimus, the quadriceps and the hamstrings. Explosive muscular power is the most important aspect for hockey performance, which requires a solid strength base. Muscular endurance is also necessary to maintain peak performance for an entire game. The primary energy systems used on-ice are the ATP-CP and the glycolytic systems. The oxidative system must also be trained to facilitate rapid recovery between on-ice shifts. A 52-week, periodized training program was created to address the muscular and cardiovascular needs. The program is organized into three primary phases: preparation, competition, and transition. The mesocycles within the preparatory sub-phases gradually decrease in volume and increase in intensity and build off of the adaptations acquired in previous mesocycles. The emphasis during the competition phase is to maintain early strength and power gains. After peaking for the MIAC championships, a transition phase follows where no organized exercise is prescribed to facilitate full recovery. All training aspects of this periodized program were fully researched to ensure specific adaptations within the mesocycles.

Poster presented at the 2014 Scholarship and Creativity Day at the College of Saint Benedict, St. Joseph, MN
Athletes experience a variety of coaching behaviors directed at the athlete personally, at a teammate, or at the team as a whole. Interactions and communicative acts between coaches and athletes affect psychological and emotional well-being, motivation, and sport persistence of athletes. The purpose of this study was to better understand how the relationship between coach and athlete affects performance. The current study examined whether coach-administered positive feedback and coaching presence (present but not administering feedback and not present) during a physical test would impact performance. Ten, Division III female ice hockey players participated in the study. Each participant completed three anaerobic treadmill tests at 7mph with a 20% grade while being administered one of three treatments: 1) coach providing positive feedback, 2) coach present but not providing feedback, 3) coach not present. Testing was completed over a three-week time period, each treatment separated by one week. A one-way ANOVA revealed no significant difference in performance outcomes between feedback treatments (F(3,11)=1.668, p>0.05). Inconsistencies in the pre-test screening, as well as the testing procedure, may have contributed to statistically insignificant results. Overall, coach feedback or presence during a treadmill test did not affect performance in Division III female ice hockey players.
Relationship between Pain Perception and Anaerobic Treadmill Test Performance

Poster presented at the 2014 Scholarship and Creativity Day at the College of Saint Benedict, St. Joseph, MN
Exercise induced pain may be a contributing factor in an athlete's decision to discontinue performing high intensity exercise. To examine the relationship between pain perception and anaerobic treadmill test performance, 11 male athletes participated in two experimental tasks. First, participants performed a cold pressor test where cold water (1°C) was circulated around their submerged hand. Pain tolerance was measured by the amount of time the participant's hand was submerged. Next, the participants performed a Cunningham and Faulkner Anaerobic treadmill test where they were instructed to run until exhaustion at 7 mph and a 20% incline. Their anaerobic performance was measured by the time spent on the treadmill. No statistically significant correlation was observed between pain tolerance and anaerobic performance (r=.601, p=.051). The decision to quit exercising was not likely due to the pain of exercise, but a physiological or psychological inability to produce force.
Adequacy of Exergames: Is Just Dance an Effective Exercise?

Poster presented at the 2014 Scholarship and Creativity Day at the College of Saint Benedict, St. Joseph, MN
The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of interactive video games as a regular form of exercise using blood lactate, heart rate (HR), rating of perceived exertion (RPE), and oxygen consumption (VO2). Seven recreationally active female students participated in two testing sessions each. During the first session, a VO2 peak treadmill test was performed followed by a 3-stage phasic treadmill protocol. The subjects were then allotted a familiarization period with the Wii Just Dance equipment. During the second testing session, the subject exercised for 20 minutes on the Wii Just Dance program. Songs were pre-selected by the researcher and included approximately 50% medium-level difficulty songs and 50% hard-level. Blood lactate, HR, RPE, and VO2 measurements were taken between each song. HR, RPE, blood lactate and VO2 measurements from the Just Dance trial were compared to the maximal measurements obtained during the first testing session to determine the level of intensity of Just Dance exercise. Blood lactate during the Just Dance trial was analyzed separately based on medium (2.08 ± .50 mmol/dl) and hard difficulty levels (2.73 ± 1.52 mmol/dl). Average HR during the Just Dance trial was similarly analyzed based on medium (136.1 ± 14.94 bpm) and hard difficulty levels (156.14 ±15.16 bpm). Average VO2 during the Just Dance Trial was also evaluated after separating medium (17.49 ±2.94 ml/kg/min) and hard (24.78 ±1.86 ml/kg/min) level data. The average percentage of heart rate maximum reached by subjects was 72.22% (SD = 7.65) during medium difficulty and 82.86% (SD = 7.56) during hard level intensity. The average percentage of VO2 reserve during medium difficulty Just Dance was 47.63% (SD = 8.37) while average VO2 reserve during hard level Just dance was 67.39% (SD = 6.95). One subject's blood lactate was below baseline during the medium level dances, four subjects' blood lactate was elevated from baseline but below lactate threshold (LT) and two subjects' were at or slightly above LT. During hard level Just Dance activity, four subjects' blood lactate was above baseline but below LT and three subjects' blood lactate was at or exceeded LT. Just Dance does qualify as at least a moderate intensity exercise compared to the guidelines set by the American College of Sports Medicine. Based on the findings, exergames can be considered at least moderate intensity exercise and may provide an alternative to gym-based exercise.
Investigation of the relationship between lipid profile and aerobic exercise

Poster presented at the 2014 Scholarship and Creativity Day at the College of Saint Benedict, St. Joseph, MN
Previous research has demonstrated a positive correlation between aerobic exercise (AE) and HDL, or good cholesterol, while evidence has been mixed regarding the relationship between AE and LDL. Purpose: The first goal is to determine the relationships between AE of both high intensity (HI, 90 minutes per week) and low intensity (LI, 120 minutes per week), and measures of lipid profile such as HDL and LDL. The second goal is to determine the relationship between HDL, LDL, and the frequency, intensity, and duration of AE. Methods: 112 Nutrition 125 students completed a 3 day diet log, aerobic exercise survey, and had their fasting blood glucose and lipid levels assessed. All participants were young, relatively healthy college students with no health conditions or medications which would affect lipid profile. Results: No significant relationship between AE and HDL was observed. A weak negative correlation was found between LI AE and LDL (p = .03; r = -.295), and a weak negative correlation was found between intensity of AE and LDL (p = .019; r = -.221). Total kilocalorie consumption (TE) also correlated to increased TG levels despite controls for saturated fat, polyunsaturated fat, and carbohydrate consumption (p = .048; r = .190), but the possibly significant effects of obesity were not considered. Conclusion: Based on the results of this study AE is weakly and negatively correlated with LDL and is not associated with HDL or other lipid profile measurements. This result is surprising and contrary to established literature trends. The AE correlations may have been influenced by the subject population, healthy college students, who are different from participants used in previous research concerning AE and blood lipids who commonly have multiple CVD risk factors. More research must be completed to understand the relationship between TG and TE, which may affect CVD risk, particularly due to the confounding effect of obesity which was not controlled for in the present study.
Decision Fatigue and Exercise

Decision fatigue is caused by successive and/or difficult decision-making. The purpose of this study was to determine whether exercise attenuates decision fatigue more so than rest. The current study examined the potential negative effects of decision fatigue on self-control, one of the manifestations of decision fatigue, and mood. Fourteen females age 18-22 (M=20.36, SD=1.11) participated in the study; each subject completed two trials. Upon arrival, the participants worked on one packet of math problems and completed one Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS). The subjects then completed a decision fatigue protocol, another round of math problems and another PANAS. They then performed either 20 minutes of exercise or 20 minutes of rest, followed by a final set of math problems and another PANAS. Math packets served as a measure of self-control, and the PANAS served as a measure of mood. Time spent on math problems and accuracy of problems was measured, while the PANAS measured positive and negative affect. Treatment had no effect over time for self-control (F (1.4, 5.9) = .601; p > .05), accuracy (F (1.9, 3.2) = .614; p > .05), or negative affect (F (1.6, 4.4) = .196; p > .05). The exercise treatment resulted in significant positive affect (F (1.3, 127.4) = .01; p < .05) compared to the rest treatment. These findings suggest that, while exercise does not attenuate decision fatigue more so than rest, it does elicit a perceivable, positive change in psychological state that is absent after rest.
The Effects of Saddle Height on Power Output in Male Cyclists
Elizabeth J Camber
Exercise Science and Sport Study, NATS
Poster presented at the 2014 Scholarship and Creativity Day at the College of Saint Benedict, St. Joseph, MN
Small variations in bicycle saddle height impact injury prevention, anaerobic power output, economy, gross efficiency, and lower limb kinematics. The Hamley method of setting saddle height is the best for maximizing power, and the Holmes method minimizes risk of injury. The two methods often do not yield saddle heights that overlap. Researchers have examined how saddle height affects anaerobic power production, but little work has examined aerobic power production. Since most cycling races rely on aerobic power, there is a need to examine how aerobic power is affected by adjusting saddle height. This study will investigate saddle heights set utilizing the Holmes method, in which saddle height is set such that the knee has 25° to 35° of flexion, and determine which saddle heights, within the range recommended for injury prevention, yield maximal power output. Participants will complete a standardized warm up consisting of dynamic warm-up exercises followed by 5 minutes of biking at a cadence lower than 50 rpm. At each of three test sessions, participants will perform one 2-mile time trial at a set cadence on a stationary bike at one of the three determined saddle heights. The order in which the participants ride at the three saddle heights will be randomly assigned. Participants will control the resistance in order to maintain a cadence of 90 rpm. Heart rate, power output, resistance, and cadence will be recorded throughout the trials. I hypothesize that use of a 25° knee angle will produce maximal power output.

Poster Presented at the 2014 Scholarship and Creativity Day at Saint John's University, Collegeville, MN
This semester I volunteer coached a youth hockey team in Saint Cloud. I observed the behaviors of players, parents, coaches, and referees throughout the state of Minnesota. I will present my findings through an examination of these key areas: · what is fair · who decides what is fair · what is cheating, is it acceptable sometimes · what is fun, who decides if an activity is fun · what is the role of authority figures · what are you learning about yourself · what gender dynamics come into play in sports? · How does sports bridge barriers between people who are different I'll wrap up my presentation with a discussion of course concepts by applying varying ethical perspectives that were used throughout this volunteering.

Love them!!
Beautiful invitations! So excited to send them out!
The design studio was easy to use! I was able to fit all the information I wanted onto the invitation and the print was still readable! I am in love with my invitations! also shipping was fast! I can't wait to buy the programs!
Simple and inexpensive
We just wanted a simple invitation that was inexpensive, and that is exactly what we got! We decided to skimp on the stationary aspect of our wedding in order to put money other places and for the money we paid they worked out very well. I love that on any invite you can customize the colors. Ours we used light grey as the back ground, pink for the numbers and names and Ivory for the rest of the lettering, they turned out very pretty!

PAUL MORGAN, writing in SA Rugby magazine, says Wales openside flank Sam Warburton is the complete package.
'The best thing since sliced bread' is a term that has often been used to describe the rise of Sam Warburton, what with his surname also emblazoning a popular brand of loaf in the UK. And over the past year he has certainly been living up to his billing.
Warburton started the 2010-11 season in the northern hemisphere as Martyn Williams's understudy with the Cardiff Blues and Wales. He ended it as Wales captain. Warburton has been linked with the national captaincy almost as long as he's been tipped as Williams's successor in the No 7 jersey, but few would have predicted he'd be leading his country at the age of just 22, against the Barbarians in Cardiff at the start of June. Then again, few have had as big an impact on Welsh rugby over the past 12 months than the Welsh Rugby Writers' Association Player of the Year. So much so, in fact, that he will be the key man in Warren Gatland's World Cup squad.
Warburton, you see, has the ideal combination of style and substance for a modern-day openside flanker. He has the requisite skills at the breakdown – at least slowing the ball down if not snaffling it – and is solid in defence too, but he is also a strong ball-carrier, has decent hands and knows how to pick a good line, as he showed when supporting James Hook to score under the posts against Italy during this year's Six Nations.
To fully appreciate Warburton's talents, perhaps it's best to ask those who play alongside him. Williams has been something of a mentor as well as a rival throughout Warburton's career and he is fulsome in his praise.
'He's a great athlete and such a strong, physical bloke,' says Williams. 'But it's the top two inches with Sam too. On and off the field he's a model professional and he works harder than anybody. He analyses the game really well and always wants to improve. He keeps his feet on the ground and he's going to be a huge star – a Lion a number of times.
'Defensively he's an animal, he can carry and there are no real weaknesses to his game. It's quite frightening to think he's just learning the game and how good he is.'
During the Six Nations, Warburton and Dan Lydiate formed a potent partnership as Wales' two flanks, developing a strong understanding of each other's game so that they could work in tandem in defence and attack – troubling opponents in both facets. Lydiate, of the Newport Gwent Dragons, is in no doubt about his team-mate's greatest strength, saying:
'Sam's nickname is Count Jackula for his jackling ability [where the tackler gets back to his feet and wins the ball]. He's good in the contact area. That's every No 7's thing – the breakdown. If we come up against him at regional level, he's a man to target as he slows down a lot of ball and I expect international teams do the same.'
Warburton's ambition and determination is illustrated when he says: 'I've wanted to play for the Lions since I was 10 and that's what I intend to do.' To achieve that goal he recognises the importance of having several strings to his bow and is constantly looking for ways to improve. He is an avid viewer of analysis tapes, both of himself and others in his position, to see what he can learn. As he says: 'I have a lot of belief in myself, but I've still got a lot of work to do. You usually don't reach your peak until 26.
'I like to think I'm quite dynamic. I love defending and jackling, but I don't want to just be good at one thing. There's more to the game at seven; it requires a lot of things, like being a jackler, a ball-carrier, a support player and so on. I want to develop my game and to cover all the bases.'
It's this desire to improve that has allowed Warburton to progress from regional replacement to Test regular, though in his mid-teens rugby was not his first sport of choice. He competed in athletics, particularly pentathlons, and also played in the same school football team as Gareth Bale, the Tottenham midfielder, even earning a trial at Cardiff City as a 14-year-old. Now he says: 'I was way out of my league to be honest. I was nowhere near the standard and it brought me down to earth.'
As his football career hit the buffers, Warburton decided to focus on rugby and immediately reaped the rewards. Whitchurch High School put him forward for a Cardiff Blues U16s training day and he soon signed for the region's academy. He went on to represent Wales at age-group level, leading his country at the U19 and U20 World Championships in 2007 and 2008 respectively. As for his club career, he signed his first professional contract with the Blues in 2009 – rebuffing offers from several English clubs because, 'I'm a big Blues supporter and I wanted to have a good crack here before going anywhere else' – and at the same time won his first cap, against the USA in Chicago.
It was not the most orthodox of Test debuts. He came off the bench after just 20 minutes when Ryan Jones took a blow to the head, then another back-rower, Robin Sowden-Taylor, had to leave the pitch before half-time with a hamstring injury, meaning Neath Swansea Ospreys hooker Richard Hibbard had to play out of position at blindside.
'It was an unusual debut,' admits Warburton. 'You expect it to be at the Millennium Stadium, not an eight-hour journey away to America. It was a hell of an experience and something I'll never forget. I didn't expect to get on that soon and it was a pressure situation to be in when Robin went off, but it went well and I had a lot of time to express myself.'
He has had a chance to express himself further in the past few months, starting Wales' last seven matches and trialling his leadership skills for the Barbarians game. Llanelli Scarlets hooker Matthew Rees is sure to captain Wales at this year's World Cup, but Gatland clearly wants leaders throughout the side and sees Warburton as one of those. It's a role that doesn't necessarily sit comfortably with Warburton – he describes himself as 'naturally quite quiet' – and he wasn't too keen when asked to be skipper at age-group level, but he has embraced the challenge.
'The first time I was picked as captain was against England for the U19s and I was very close to ringing up the coach and saying, "Hand it to someone else",' says Warburton. 'I was worrying too much about it. I don't like having responsibility for players and I just didn't like not being able to relax. The day before a game I just want to sit down and focus on the game, but I'd be going to press conferences and doing off-field stuff. Having said all that, the extra pressure can bring out the best in you.'
The next type of pressure Warburton will experience is that of a World Cup; more specifically a World Cup in the rugby-mad country of New Zealand. He missed out on the chance to go to the Land of the Long White Cloud last year after fracturing his jaw in the June Test against the Springboks and now he can't wait to experience the culture out there.
'I was really disappointed in the hospital when I found out I was going to miss the tour. It was all doom and gloom, but then I thought I'd have the chance to go to New Zealand for the World Cup. I've always wanted to go there.'
As for the tournament itself, Wales will be looking to make amends for what was a dismal showing at France 2007, where they failed to even make the quarter-finals. That 38-34 defeat by Fiji in their final pool match will sit long in the memory of many a Welshman and a large proportion of the team beaten that day remains in the Wales squad, desperate to give a better account of themselves on the world stage.
A teenage Warburton watched that game on TV; now he will be part of the action – and in a quirk of the draw Wales will play Fiji in their last pool match again, this time in Hamilton rather than Nantes. He knows about the challenges that lie ahead – their pool is surely the most physical in the tournament given that it also includes reigning world champions South Africa, Samoa and Namibia, but, after the team fell short against England and France in the Six Nations, he believes that Wales can deliver.
'The quarter-finals are our minimum target. We're probably the second favourites in the group behind South Africa, but if we play to our potential, we can beat them. The squad is maturing and getting better, so we've got a good chance of getting to the latter stages.
'My best memory of the World Cup is of 2003 when Jonny Wilkinson dropped his goal to win it. I never thought I'd be able to take part in a World Cup. If someone had told me that at the time, I wouldn't have believed them. Now it's within my grasp I'm so excited.'
Warburton has enjoyed quite a journey over the past year – and it's not over yet. Next on the agenda is a 19 000km trip to New Zealand, where he will be hoping his career path continues its upward trajectory on the biggest stage of all.

ANAHEIM – Five days off from playing might be the only thing that slows down the scorching Ducks, who showed that they have a pretty good goaltender that isn't named Viktor Fasth.
With Fasth garnering headlines for the remarkable start to his NHL career, Jonas Hiller showed that he isn't going to hand him the net as a sharp, 25-save performance was the highlight of the Ducks' 3-2 victory over Columbus Blue Jackets on Monday night.
Peter Holland and Ryan Getzlaf scored 21 seconds apart in the first period while Corey Perry added a second power-play goal for the Pacific Division-leading Ducks (12-2-1), who've won five in a row and nine of 10.
But Hiller kept them in the game early as the Ducks struggled to find their game in the first 10 minutes. It was his first victory since Feb. 2 against the Kings.
"His athleticism was great," Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau said. "Some of the saves he made, he shouldn't have made. He shouldn't make those saves. But he did.
"That was what we saw last year from January through March. And that's what makes him a great goaltender. That's pretty good."
There were several big saves but none was as dramatic as the back-to-back stops on Derick Brassard in which his back was turned on one. A frustrated Brassard eventually got one by him in the third period.
"There you're just kind of guessing and trying to protect as much of the net as possible," Hiller said. "I was kind of glad he hit me on the elbow or whatever. Those kind of things definitely make you feel good out there."
Hiller was playing his first game since Feb. 8, when he suffered a lower-body injury during the first period in Dallas. In that time, the veteran watched Fasth win four games in a row to improve to 8-0 and threaten to put a stranglehold on the No. 1 goalie job.
Now it looks as if an old-fashioned competition is underway. The Ducks, however, are looking at it as a best-case scenario in having two quality netminders to turn to.
"It's huge," Getzlaf said. "And it shows Hillsy's character. Any starting goalie when somebody comes in and plays the way Vik has, he could easily cower away and not come the way he did.
"When we have two options like that, it changes everything."
Vinny Prospal put the Blue Jackets up at 3:30 of the first when he knocked Mark Letestu's blocked shot down with his chest and put the puck past an outstretched Hiller.
An early deficit again didn't faze the Ducks, who turned Holland's interference penalty into a lightning-quick outburst to grab the lead.
Defenseman Ben Lovejoy stripped the puck clean from Columbus winger Derek Dorsett as he rushed into the Ducks' zone. Bobby Ryan got the puck and hit Holland with a stretch pass as he left the penalty box.

There are two big changes from most boxes. First the top is open, this allows easy access to the stove and reminds me of the old Volkswagon buses that had built in stoves. Second, the front doors open to the side instead of dropping down. Most people think that it is nice to have a work space in front of the box but I think the drop down table makes it hard to reach the stove. When this box is sitting on a picnic table, I use the table as a work space and can easily reach the stove.
The the sides of the box are made from 1/2" plywood with a 1/4" inner shelf, doors and back panel. Everything is held together with framing brackets. No glue or nails.
The box holds everything I need to cook, clean and serve for 4 people. At camp, the pots hang on the left hand side to dry and the spatula and other utensils hang on the right. There is a spare propane canister behind the stove and the plastic tubs are used for washing dishes.
The next version of the box is actually going to be smaller as I incorporate the learnings from this project.
One question, does the side of the wood by the camp stove get hot?
One customization I added is for my gas bottle, if you zoom in the picture, I used a jigsaw to cut out a half-circle to hold the bottle upright. When the doors are closed, it can't tip over, so no risk of leaks. We camped for 5 days, and cooked a lot, and had enough gas for the trip.
Lots of fun to build, and even more fun to use- thought you'd enjoy the photo- Thanks!
This was actually my second attempt, the first prototype used 1/4" panels with long wooden stringers at each of the edges. The design was a little flimsy and it took forever to build. Using the 1/2" in an H shape with metal brackets and the rest 1/4" gave the best balance between weight and strength. Several of the 1/4" pieces were reused for the second generation and there are many small holes along the edges.
The biggest challenge with working with plywood is joining two edges at 90 deg in a simple fashion.
I think I might make one of these! Thanks for the idea wgreunke..
I could think of so many things I can add to one of these to do alot more than just cooking but it might just get too heavy.. =) But the again sometimes simple just might better.
I do have two small cutting boards that slip inside.
One of the requirements is that everything can be washed in the tubs. I am a firm believer that a mess in the kitchen expands to fill all available counter space. By limiting the space, I minimize the amount of things that have to be cleaned while camping.
The other solution is a set of hooks that you can remove. When you get to the campsite, just clip the hooks on the side and you are ready to go.
Now that I think about it, this actually might work because the table top space that is lost is gained from the open cover. This gives you more counter space when the box is on the ground.
Thanks for the idea.
The Boy Scouts have similar kitchen boxes too.
THAT would be something nice for my '78 Westy too.
Also, to keep the stove in place while driving or the box being moved, do you have a strap over it to keep it in its spot. I can see it bouncing out - yikes!
I DO like this! Compact, usable - thumbs up!
No problem yet with things bouncing around, first because this is for family camping in a mini-van so speed bumps in the parking lot is the closest we get to off road. Second, the car gets a little full so the box usually has other stuff on top of it.
BTW keep weight in mind when you select your supplies, or else you might need more than 2 handles to carry it and all of it's contents! ;)
I like the story of traveling in the station wagon. I designed this to serve a similar purpose in a mini-van, the modern equivalent of a station wagon.
Try to find an impermeable material, such as a resinous material, like Corian or a knock-off.
Use continuous aluminum angles for all connections, with through-bolts.
The 1/4" shelf is already sagging, without any load. For thin shelves like this, apply a continuous aluminum angle along the long edges, as well.
Consider adding a top of galvanized or aluminum sheet metal for added rain protection.
I like the idea that others mentioned of having fold-out tables on either side, supported by the doors.
Lots of luck with your project!!
