Exercise in classroom keeps kids alert -- and learning
Photos by Eugene Garcia / Orange County Register
Fifth-graders sit on their customized balance balls while working on an assignment at Morris School in Cypress, Calif.
Abdullah Awad does a leg kick workout during an "exercise blast" break.
Teacher Doug Bettencourt says short "exercise blast" breaks improve kids' learning all day long.
"I encourage restlessness. They're allowed to move around," Bettencourt says of his students.
Since the first week of school, the students have sat -- and often bounced -- on balance balls to increase their daily movement and improve their academic performance.
"We're going to be more active and, like Mr. B says, it helps our brain," said Giovanna Grijalva, 11. "It's really fun, actually. You can move as much as you want as long as you don't fall down."
Doug Bettencourt, 41, started asking parents to purchase balance balls to replace chairs about five years ago.
The inspiration came from a student's current events report about a class in Illinois that used them.
Bettencourt assigned students to write a persuasive letter to their parents requesting the balls. The practice has carried on ever since, with each new class of students buying a ball at the start of the year.
The balls, in an array of colors, are marked with each student's name. They are responsible for replacing them if they pop theirs. A former student told Bettencourt that she uses her ball at home.
The students are more active learners, he said. "I encourage restlessness. They're allowed to move around."
The students have 120 minutes of P.E. each week, but Bettencourt said students enjoy school more -- and learn better -- when they have the chance to move throughout their days.
During an afternoon writing assignment, students sat on their balls along tables, sometimes bouncing for a second or two before resuming their essays. Bettencourt has a ball at his desk, too.
"It's like rebooting yourself," Bettencourt said. "It gets the oxygen flowing through the body so they're more alert."
The students also take short "exercise blast" breaks: They might run in place, do jumping jacks or pull resistance bands. An exercise bike is in a corner for students to use.
Principal Jeannette Lohrman praised Bettencourt's teaching skills and his emphasis on healthy living. He was named one of Orange County, Calif.'s five 2012 Teachers of the Year.
"He talks to them like they're his own kids," Lohrman said. "He reflects back to them his lifestyle."
Bettencourt runs an optional lunchtime soccer program for third- through sixth-graders. He also talks to his class about making good food choices.
"We as teachers need to be examples," he said.
Kendall Nichols, 10, said sitting on the ball is good for the core muscles. She said Bettencourt is funny and nice.
"I always thought all the kids liked him because of his personality," she said. "I didn't know we got to sit on yoga balls."

Internationally, burns are a grave public health problem.1 There are over 300,000 deaths each year from fires alone, with additional deaths from scalds, electrical and chemical burns, and other forms of burns, for which international data is currently unavailable.1,2
According to the WHO,
"Fire-related deaths alone rank among the 15 leading causes of death among children and young adults 5-29 years. Over 95% of fatal fire-related burns occur in low- and middle-income countries. South-East Asia alone accounts for just over one-half of the total number of fire-related deaths worldwide and females in this region have the highest fire-related burn mortality rates globally. In addition to those who die, millions more are left with lifelong disabilities and disfigurements, often with resulting stigma and rejection."1
In many low- and middle-income countries, burns are often caused by stoves and lamps that are dangerous.3 This includes paraffin (kerosene) lamps and stoves that are predisposed to being knocked over resulting in either burning a person directly or initiating a house fire.8 Stove burst injuries can be devastating injuries that disproportionately affect people in developing countries. According to Ahmad et al (2007) "burns due to stove bursts are a major problem and continue to be a major environmental factor responsible for significant morbidity and mortality in developing countries."4

Comment: Fast delivery. What a suprise when I receivedthis rain suit. The quality is by far the best and the price was great. I now am looking to have it rain so I can use it. I felt so lucky. Thanks Jafrum, I'll sure to be back.
Fords, NJ
Comment: It really lives up to its name as rain gear. You stay dry whether it's drizzling or a downpour
Bridgetown, Barbados
Comment: Great rain outfit. No leaks in rain and they double very nicely as a wind breaker. Great folks to deal with...fast shipping and delivery. I would highly recommend Jafrum to anybody. Great company.
Comment: Man! This suit is great, the best rainsuit I have ever owned, rode in pouring rain yesterday and not a wet spot anywhere. I love it, Jafrum rocks!
Gainesville, Florida
Comment: I ordered this set from Canada, and even with the exchange and extra shipping charge, this is still a great deal . Really good quality, and exactly as advertised. Shipping was so fast, it surprised me,...awesome company. I know this set will last a very long time.
British Columbia, Canada
Comment: I just got this suit in exchange for one my daughter bought me for Christmas that wasn't quite right. It was shipped Friday, and arrived today (Saturday). I put on my winter riding gear and topped it off with this suit and left out today at 29 degrees. This suit works great at keeping the cold air out. It fits snug with all the elastic in the pants and jacket, plus it has pull cords to snug it up even more. It also has a pocket on the pants and two on the jacket. I would recomend this suit to anyone. FYI: I am 5'9" and weigh 200 solid pounds. The 5003 I received is a Medium and fits over all my clothes, ski bib, and leather coat very well.
Hickory, NC
Comment: this stuff is better than anyone thought. Can't believe the price. Will keep us dry
Comment: I will continue ordering from Jafrum. Excellent prices, great products and speedy delivery! Great job, people!

Lumberton, MS
Comment: I just ordered this rain gear last week, arrived in 3 days, Wow!!! I was very leary with the low price. I got caught in the rain last night and pulled over to try out my new gear, wow, very easy to put on and kept me super dry and warm. Excellent quality for a super low price.
Orlando, FL
Comment: Was sweating about my suit arriving on time as I was planning a trip, and waited until the last minute to order. It came the day before I left! I was very satified with the quality and size, the only suprise was the green color in the flames. Not what the picture showed, but I can deal with that. Otherwise, great value!
Odessa, MO
Comment: my rain suit came before the rain came. of course i had to try it on for fit, and yes sir, it fits just fne. Thanks Jafrum. Bryanova

Comment: As you know, Jafrum offers competive prices for their products. However, this rain suit was on sale. Coupled with "Jafrum Bucks," I paid about $9 for a suit that retails for $80. The suit was used for the first time last weekend in Florida's unpredictable weather. I enjoyed the fact that the zippered and velcro bottoms allowed me to slip the pants quickly over my boots. You are fully protected as velcro seals off all of the ends that are exposed to the rain (neck, arms and legs). Using a full-face helmet seals the deal - no water coming in. Pockets, drawstrings, Velcro and reinforced patches on the pant leg make this a great buy. As with all rainsuits, you do heat up when the sun comes out! As for picking the right size, I went with the Large suit. I am 5'10 male and weigh 190 lbs. I have a 34 inch waist and a 42 inch chest. With that in mind, the suit covered my motorcycle jacket and blue jeans without a hitch. If you ride without a jacket, you may want to take that into account and downsize your purchase. My thought, however, is that it is better to ride with a big suit which can be tightened than with a tight suit that can not be loosened. Overall, I am very satisfied. Food for thought. If you purchase clothing and decide to review the purchase, please describe your physical features. This will help others evaluate the sizing charts that accompany clothing items. It helped me when choosing my size. Have fun...and ride safely.

Comment: worked great - kept me dry in heavy rain
Comment: I have had mine for 3 seasons, I have ridden in the Oregon, California, Colorado and all through the west, I have been in drizzels, to absomute monsune downpours and this suit works just as well if not better than the ones that cost twice as much.
One plus I thought was really cool is the cordura leggings to protect from hot exhaust.
All of this for $40.00, this is why I keep ordering from Jafrum.

Comment: Nice suit, fit is right on and it works like they said it would.
Comment: Very good rain gear, easy order, quick delivery, & excellent price. Thanks Jafrum
Bridge City, Texas
Comment: The photo doesn't do the suit justice. This is a fairly heavy-duty piece of gear and the fit is near perfect. My long legs make my feet a little too far away from the elastic bottom of the pants when seated on the bike. Boot covers should fix that problem, however. Everything seems very well made. It's very comfortable and warm. I'm almost looking forward to getting caught in the rain now.

Comment: I bought this suit for one of my friends for Christmas. He always had a problem with melting the lower leg due to the muffler pipe. This suit has the heat resistant inner leg panel, and it works great. It's up high enough so that when sitting down it's just right, and the shipping was unbelivably fast.

Comment: Great fit, seems to be very durable material, very nicely made.

Comment: Shipping was fast suit could not be better, flames a little much, but does let on coming traffic see you in storm.
Amarillo, TX
Comment: Fast delivery. Very satisfied with the quality. Best rain suit I have owned. Would highly recommend. Great price.
Comment: Typical Jafrum shipping: FAST. Was very happy with the service. Rainsuit is excellent. Keeps me dry all over. Sizes run a bit large. I ordered an XL. I'm 6'2" & 230lbs. The large was the size I needed. Thanks to the staff at Jafrum. Great job!
Comment: I was amazed at the quality, nice! Would definietly recommend.
Comment: Fit was perfect, Looks great, Fast service, Great company to do business with.

Comment: I used this suit in driving rain at 60 MPH for more than 50 miles. It did its job. I got it on sale so that made it an even better deal. :) The only problem I have with it is the elastic on the waist of the jacket. I ordered the medium, which should have fit nicely, but the elastic is so tight it is very distracting. It seems to be too high on the jacket. If it were lower, it wouldn't be as noticeable As it is, I am constantly trying to pull the jacket lower (as I am riding in the rain) to get the elastic off of my lower chest. I am going to order a large set and try the large jacket with the medium pants.
Comment: Good quality and delivery was very quick. My husband's fit fine. We ordered large for him because he wears large in everything, although the chart indicated a medium. I was nervous about ordering XS but I did according to the chart. Jacket fit great but pants are definitely not made for short people (I'm 4'11"). Chart does not give inseam sizes or choices. Decided to keep everything, just have to pull pants up to my neck.
Virginia Chambers
Shawnee, KS
Comment: Just purchased suit and completed a 2500 mile trip. Encountered rain 3 times on the trip and the rain suit worked very well. I would recommend this product to others.
Columbus, NE
Comment: This suit has kept me dry in a great many downpours. This, and my boot covers, brings me home dry every time. I would suggest getting a size bigger than you would normally wear. According to the chart, I wear a medium. The pants fit good and snug over my winter gear. The elastic in the waist of the jacket though is very tight and gets quite irritating after just a few miles. I plan on ordering a Large and pairing it with my medium pants. That should be just what the doctor ordered. :)
Comment: I bought this rain suit more for keeping the cold out while driving in the late fall and early spring months. The jacket has been terrific at keeping me warm as long as I have my riding jacket underneath. There is plenty of room in the jacket...it's great. The legs are a little baggy but it really isn't a fashion show. They keep me less warm but have been sufficient for the little rain I have encountered. The zippers on the legs are somewhat cheap and they don't always want to work correctly. Other than those minor things...they are great.
Comment: I was really surprised on how fast I received my suit after placing my order. Everything fit perfect and for the price the quality for exceed my expectations.
Douglas "Snapshot" Hoxter
West Chester Pa.
Comment: Love it. Just hope never have to use it
Comment: I ordered this rainsuit with my replacement helmet and they arrived super quick. Haven't tried the suit in the rain as my bike is in the shop,but it looks real good. My only complaint is that it is not American made and didn't say so in the description.
Bob Campbell
Comment: Its hard to give a review on something that is a gift for someone else who hasnt seen it as of yet. BUT....I did take out of bags and look over the items and i have to say that i was very happy with the look and feel of the items. im sure that they will suit just fine and last a long time....without giving to much information....

Comment: I was pleasantly surprised by the high quality of this product at such a reasonable price. I don't leave home without it.

corpus christi texas
Comment: Love the rain gear! Fits great and looks good. My only problem is we live in Minnesota so biking season is now 3+ months always with all the salt on the roads. Can't wait for Spring. Get all my biking needs from Jafrum...no need to go elsewhere. Always great prices and good quality.
Mound, MN
Comment: Suit design is great. Fit is fine, but arm length is a bit short. Not a problem if wearing gauntlet gloves. Haven't tried it in the rain, but fully expect it to perform well!
Comment: I needed a rain suit real bad and say this and for the money I was not to sure about how good it would be. Well let me tell you that it is very well made has everything the pricy ones have for half the money and works great it is easy to get on and keeps you dry what more can you ask and it looks great for the price you can not go wrong.

Comment: Great service I'm ready for spring riding thank you
Grafton Ohio
Comment: I used this in 14 degree weather, driving on the highway at 65 MPH, keep me warm with just a set of layered clothes no addtional coat. Been using it as warm gear since. It does run large and the straps brook first day, simple rivet fixed it. Some melted against the pipes. Needs larger cloth area on the right side. Yet to get wet in it yet.
Comment: What can I say, very pleased!. Fast delivery and awesome gear; very well made (Heavy enough to keep you dry and light enough to fold up tight). Went by the comments as the size chart seemed off, and ordered 1 size smaller (i'm 5'11" / 165# / 44R jacket) and would have gotten a Large but got Medium and fits good with room to spare for even my heavy leather jacket underneath. Now ready for our trip around Lake Huron / Georgian Bay end of June!.
North Street, MI
Comment: I ordered this as my first rain gear. I received it today and immediately tried it out. It is amazing. Keeps rain out and keeps you warm. I love the zippers with flaps to keep the water off of you. Very good product. Am ordering more items.
Comment: Sporadic weather had me worried about arriving to work looking like a drowned rat. I ordered what I felt I could afford, and expected to get my money's worth, if you know what I mean. Instead, I recieved a high quality rain suit. It far exceeded my meager money and expectations. As I have always experienced with Jafrum, my money was well spent.
San Antonio
Comment: Had to wear my rain suit a week after I purchased it, in a heavy down pour. The suit kept my dry through and through. Needed a set of gaitors and waterproof gloves and I would have been completely dry. Great product especially for the price.
Pensacola, FL
Comment: By writing in detail about your product you are helping your biker buddies make better choices. Thank you.
Comment: Wonderful addition to my riding experience, living in Fla good rain gear is essential and this is very good. I was a little concerned with the the sizing chart but followed it and the suit fit like a glove. Thanks Jafrum for another wonderful experience.
Harold "Cutter"
Comment: Ordered this suit 3 seasons ago keeps water out my only complaint pant leg melts to my drag pipes on my FSXTS everytime I ride in rain, stains my pipes, and packing tape repairs the holes I just carry a roll when I wear it, i've tried tying them in spots close to pipes but doesn't seem to help, the duratex I hoped would work better but good suit for the price.
Northern California
Comment: I ordered it two days before riding to Sturgis from Louisiana, and had the item shipped to my room there. I chose the slower method of shipment, and was almost worried I would not get it. On the last day, upon checking out, there it was! It was received in time for my next leg of the trip to California. Was very impressed with it, and happy to get it, as it kept me dry while riding back home through some torrential rains in New Mexico along with passing trucks blasting me with water. Great product and great service!
Tom Clark
Morgan City, LA
Comment: Bought this set after getting caught in a rainstorm and forced to buy a very thick and heavy PVC set that was very hot and bulky. Thought this set would be much more compact to stay in my saddlebags and boy I'm glad I got em. I was a little worried about ordering size medium as I wear mostly Large or sometimes even XL, but I trusted the size chart and as a 5' 10" 195 pounder it fits perfectly. I would definitely recommend this to friends and in fact, may buy a set for my 24 year old son.

Ventura, CA
Comment: This unisex motorcycle rain gear is awesome looking with vivid, bright flames on the sleeves. Although I purchased this item based upon style, it affords the biker excellent rain protection with it's advanced waterproof technology. It is made of 600 Denier nylon, has reflective piping on both front and back, and has a fixed mesh lining in the jacket. In particular, the rain gear exhibits a great deal of class, and has two front pockets (hook and loop), one zipper pocket inside, and one hook and loop pocket on the pants. The rain gear is quality made, and is sealed at the seams to prevent leaks. Even the jacket sleeves have zipper and hook and loop fastenings. I especially like the elastic mid band and drawstrings on the jacket, not to mention the pants that have an elastic and drawstring waist to ensure a proper fit. Additional quality features include heavy Duratex patches on the inside of the legs, zippers on the legs to accommodate boots, and a removable boot stir strap on the hem of the pants. It is nice to know that this Thunder Under rain gear is protected from hot engine and exhaust temperatures with it's Duratex patches on the inside of the legs. Refer to the rain suit size chart for proper fit. I found the rain gear to fit to size. Absolutely no regrets on this purchase.

Comment: I bought this suit because of the price and features.
I was not disappointed.
The sizing was right, and the suit looks great.
Have not tried it out yet, but my friends like it well they ordered one for themselves.
Wilkesboro, NC
Comment: I've been looking for a rain suit that's going to keep me dry and look good too. I definitely got my money's worth.It fits great and doubles as wind breaker that keeps you warm on those evening rides.you'll be glad you got one for you and your lady.
Robert Morgan

Comment: I first bought a dri-rider suit back in late 90's, at the time was one of the better ones on the market.
With all the variables in prices now, hard to know who has a good suit at a reasonable price.
This is a very nice suit for the money, really. I spent more on fishing rainsuits, that i cant say keep me drier. the sizing is pretty good, as i wanted room to put a jacket underneath when its fall or early spring rains. you cant go wrong at this price. it would also make a decent rain suit for golfing ! !
4 stars is only because i will have to wait and see how long this holds up, as in welds and seams and reaming watertight on my cycle while "sitting" in water on my seat in the rain.
david penna

Comment: Although I have yet to actualy need it, this rain set looks great! The jacket fits & looks good. The pants seem a bit large, but then I'm not a large guy, & it fits well over my chaps. The quality seems very good for the price, especialy. the sleeve & legs straps should help at speed. A hood would be nice, but then may also have posed a wind problem if it was there, & will have a helmet on when its raining anyway. Hope never to have to wear it, but feel confident it will serve well if needed.Plan to ride most way to Sturgis this year, may have to try it.
Dan Perry
Ogden, Ut.
Comment: The jacket works fine but the liner in the sleeves are a pain, but it does keep the rain out and you can cinch it tight around the neck and sleeves...although the sleeves should be longer. The pants are fine but you will get wet if the water pools on the motorcycle seat.
Comment: This gear is the right fit with the sizing chart. Bought it for a trip from Florida to Michigan. The velcro is so tight that you almost need and extra set of hands to seperate. No rain getting through it!! Nice stuff.
Lori Moyle
Comment: This is great rain gear. Great construction and true fit. Looking forward to riding in a he rain. Very good value and supper fast delivery.
Ovilla, TX
Comment: My husband & I bought these suits for an upcoming trip. Sizing worked great. Love the
quality and pricing. We have never had rain suits before but from what we have seen of
these they look great. I don't really want to use them but now we have them just in case. I will
post again once we have used them.
Cogan Station PA
A rain suit is a necessary item in any rider's apparel collection. Even if
you don't ever plan on riding in the rain, there are some things that are simply
not in your control. If you have ever gotten soaked to the bone with cold rain
30 or more miles away from home, you probably already own one of these. Rain
suits are made in a variety of styles and materials most of which are available
on our website, Jafrum.com
The Thunder Under RS5003 two piece rainsuit is made from nylon. Nylon is a good
fabric for a rainsuit because it is lightweight, easy to pack, and somewhat
breathable. It can also be very reasonably priced. This complete suit with all
of the features I'm about to show you is on sale on
Jafrum.com for less than forty five dollars.
The only downsides to nylon as a rainsuit fabric are that it is not flexible;
although most rainsuits aren't flexible, and it doesn't hold up to sunlight very
well. All that means to you the rider is that you don't want to lay it out in
the sun for extended periods of time to dry. If you take proper care of a nylon
suit it will provide you with protection from the elements for many years and
This rainsuit has almost every feature available in this type of apparel, and It
is available in this all black color way with these yellow, orange, and red
flames running up the sleaves. There is high viz piping that runs across the
chest, and across the back. There is more high viz in the way of these
reflective panels near the cuffs of the pants.
Let's take a closer look at the three quarter length jacket. This jacket has a
padded collar and a durable plastic zipper that is covered by these dual panels
and secured with a hook and loop system to ensure a waterproof closure. All the
seams are tape sealed as well to keep the water out. The dual pockets on the
front of the jacket have full width hook and loop closures making them nearly
completely waterproof.
The fit on this jacket is very adjustable. There is a stretchy band all the way
around the jacket to reduce buffeting at speed and there are pull tabs at the
bottom to snug up the opening. The only feature that is missing on this jacket
that would be nice is maybe some adjusters on the sleeves. They're nice to have
to keep the jacket quiet especially if you ride a bike with little or no wind
screen. The cuffs are fully adjustable with stretch panels on one side, an
adjustable hook and loop closure on the other, and a zippered expander with a
waterproof gusset.
The interior of the jacket has been equipped with a mesh lining. This will help
wick moisture away from your skin and also keep the rain gear from sticking to
your skin when you start to sweat.
Now let's get a look at the pants. The waist of the pants is stretchy all the
way around and has a draw string for adjustability. The cuffs of the legs are
also adjustable with zippered expanders and waterproof gussets. The pocket on
the pants has a hook and loop closure system and is almost completely
waterproof. There are reinforced panels in high wear areas on the both the
backside and also on the legs where the fabric can come into high heat areas and
rub on footpegs. The legs also have removable stirups to help keep your pantlegs
from riding up and letting water into your boots. The only feature not in these

'Community' Star Joel McHale Is Cocky and We Like It – The Daily Swoon
'Community' finally returned to TV last night, Feb. 7, and we were blessed with the reminder that Joel McHale is totally hilarious and really, really cute.
Joel McHale caught our eye as the witty host of E!'s 'The Soup,' where he cleverly commented and made fun of the worst of television each and every week. He still does, in fact, making him quite the busy guy between cracking jokes about the Kardashians and starring as Jeff Winger on NBC's 'Community.'
The show recently returned from a lengthy hiatus and while we're super glad to hang out with our friends at Greendale Community College again, we're also pleased as punch to once again gawk at the adorable McHale on a weekly basis.
As you guys know, around here we appreciate a guy who is both funny and hot, but there's something else about McHale's character on 'Community' — he's also sort of jaded and cocky, the kind of guy you're drawn to because you think you can fix him, but six months later you're like, "Thanks for the awesome sex times, jerk!" and you leave because it's the right thing to do. It's the right thing to do. (Seriously, if your mom didn't tell you to leave jerks in the dust, someone has to.)
Anyway, lectures about your poor relationship choices aside, McHale is also surprisingly hot in his underwear. We've collected some photographic evidence of his cuteness below.

CEO Successes Highlight the Strength of Innovation and Entrepreneurship in the Region
The Mid-Atlantic Venture Association (MAVA), representing the complete spectrum of private capital investors, company-builders and entrepreneurs, hosted its annual holiday event today with a celebration of the successful high growth companies at the center of its ecosystem. The festive luncheon program placed a spotlight on four of MAVA's Sterling Company CEOs and a dozen of the companies that presented at MAVA's nationally-recognized TechBUZZ and Capital Connection events in May 2012.
Chief Executives from MAVA's Sterling Companies – Alarm.com, Eloqua, Primatics Financial and ScienceLogic – took the stage to highlight key milestones that have contributed to their continued success and robust growth during this year. During Capital Connection'12, 25 successful businesses were singled out as market maker companies with a special "Sterling Company" award. The companies were selected unanimously for stellar performance by some of the country's top private investors.
"It's an honor to be speaking to a room full of entrepreneurs at the MAVA Annual Holiday Luncheon & CEO Celebration," said Dave Link, Chairman of ScienceLogic, Inc. "I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to share our vision and highlight a few keys to ScienceLogic's momentum this year and learn more about the successes my friends at Alarm.com, Eloqua and Primatics Financial have attained."
"This recognition validates our belief that the right mix of innovation and entrepreneurial spirit can help a company thrive even in a time of great economic uncertainty," said Peter Fitzsimmons, CEO of Primatics Financial. "We are honored to be listed among our fellow high growth companies in the Mid-Atlantic area who continue to strive to exceed expectations in the markets they serve."
The tribute to CEOs continued with recognition of nearly a dozen of the companies that presented at TechBUZZ and Capital Connection'12. Senior executives from many of these companies were in attendance and were recognized for their achievements. Each representative shared a quick and snappy summary of their company's progress since their participation in MAVA's flagship, visibility-raising showcase of the hottest and most promising firms in May and shared recent accomplishments. The representatives of Capital Connection'12 and TechBUZZ presenting companies included:
The capacity crowd also heard about some of the major highlights and evolution in the industry during 2012 from the investor perspective. Harry Weller, General Partner at New Enterprise Associates, provided "The Year in Review."
"MAVA and its members are committed to supporting high-tech, high-growth companies across all stages of growth and across industry sectors. Our Annual Holiday event was the perfect opportunity to bring together our community of companies, investors and advisors for a 'CEO Celebration' and to close out a year marked with significant accomplishment. Building a successful enterprise is difficult work, and our community strives to support these firms throughout their growth. Today, we take a moment to celebrate those who have demonstrated achievements and applaud their efforts," said Julia Spicer, Executive Director of MAVA.

At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To detect salicylate overdose, to help evaluate its severity and monitor its resolution; sometimes to monitor for an overdose if you regularly use prescription-strength salicylates
When to Get Tested?
When you have symptoms such as nausea, hyperventilation, ringing in the ears (tinnitus), or confusion that may be from taking too much aspirin or medications with salicylate ingredients; when it is suspected that your child may have ingested a significant quantity of a salicylate; at regular intervals when monitoring an overdose; sometimes on a regular basis when you take a prescription salicylate for rheumatoid arthritis or other autoimmune disorder
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm
Test Preparation Needed?
None, but your doctor may ask when you last took a salicylate and the amount taken. If you regularly take a prescription salicylate, your doctor may want to collect blood just prior to your next dose (trough level). Tell your doctor about any other medications you are taking.
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
Salicylates are a group of drugs, including aspirin, available as both prescription and non-prescription (over-the-counter) medications. They are often used to relieve pain and inflammation, to reduce fever, and to prevent excessive clotting. Salicylate testing measures the concentration in the blood to detect and/or monitor an overdose (salicylate poisoning).
Aspirin is the most common salicylate, but there are others, including methyl salicylate, which is found as oil of wintergreen in some muscle ache creams. Methyl salicylate creams and topical forms of aspirin are absorbed into the body through the skin. After oral forms of salicylates are ingested, they are converted to salicylic acid, absorbed in the stomach and small intestine and transferred into the blood stream. They are metabolized by the liver and eliminated from the body in the urine within a few hours.
With single, normal doses, blood concentrations typically peak in about 2 hours, but this may be delayed for 12 hours or more with "enteric-coated" or "sustained-release" preparations. If too much salicylate is ingested (acute toxicity with a large ingestion) or too much is taken over time (chronic toxicity), and/or if the body's ability to remove the salicylates is impaired, then signs and symptoms associated with toxicity will begin to emerge. The ability to remove salicylates efficiently is affected by the body's blood and urine pH (acidity/alkalinity) and by kidney function.
Over-the counter salicylates are used as needed or regularly to reduce pain, fever, and inflammation. Low doses of aspirin may be taken on a regular basis to reduce the chance of inappropriate blood clotting (thrombosis), heart attack, or stroke in people who have a high risk. Aspirin may also be used to reduce the risk of complications in someone who is having a heart attack, or who recently experienced one. Aspirin is also used in patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (e.g., polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia). Uncommonly, prescription-strength aspirin may be used to relieve symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis as well as symptoms of autoimmune disorders such as lupus.
When used with care and following dosing directions, therapeutic doses of salicylates are safe and effective for most adults. Excessive amounts of salicylates, however, can be toxic, affecting breathing and disrupting the body's acid-base balance. In severe cases, toxicity can cause convulsions, coma, and even death.
Adults can run into trouble with salicylates when they unknowingly combine multiple products that contain them. Many over-the-counter medications include a salicylate as one of the ingredients. An individual who is unaware of the ingredients can mistakenly take more than one of these drugs together, resulting in a cumulative effect and a high amount of ingested salicylate. Widespread and easy availability of salicylate-containing medications can also mislead some to think that it is very safe and that "more is better." An overdose can occur when someone has pain that is not relieved with an initial dose and, unaware of the danger, takes more than the recommended dose and/or takes additional doses too frequently. In the elderly, these scenarios can especially be a problem because underlying conditions and general health status can decrease the ability to eliminate salicylates.
Aspirin is not recommended for use in children and adolescents because of the risk of developing Reye syndrome, a disease characterized by acute brain damage and liver dysfunction that can be fatal. Though youth are not routinely given aspirin, they may become poisoned through accidental or intentional ingestion. Topical creams that contain methyl salicylate or other salicylates are of special concern as they contain very high doses.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is obtained by inserting a needle into a vein in the arm.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
No test preparation is needed, but the doctor may ask when a salicylate was last ingested and the amount taken. To accurately interpret results, blood samples are usually drawn at least 4 hours after ingestion. If a person regularly takes a prescription salicylate, the doctor may want to collect blood just prior to the next dose (trough level).

Game One Box Score Game Two Box Score
MISENHEIMER, N.C. - Behind a solid defensive showing and a complete team effort, the Pfeiffer University softball team snagged two conference wins from visiting King on Saturday in an afternoon doubleheader. The wins put Pfeiffer's overall season record at 9-11, just two games shy of .500, and their Conference Carolinas record at 2-2. With the losses, King falls to 12-19 overall and 1-3 in conference competition.
Game one action started off scoreless through the first two frames, with Pfeiffer drawing first blood in the bottom of the third. With junior Sadie Saine waiting patiently on second base following a two-base smack to center field, freshman Rachel Crowder stepped to the plate. Crowder knocked a ground ball to the King third baseman and was quickly thrown out at first. Saine, keeping an eye on her teammate, saw an opportunity and took off for third base on the hit, beating the subsequent throw to third from the first baseman. The throw from first base came in a bit wild however, sending the ball past the King third baseman and into left field foul territory. Knowing just how fast his number two hitter is, Pfeiffer Head Coach Chris Vullo sent Saine in to score, and score she did. King escaped the inning three batters later with the score sitting at 1-0 in favor of the home team.
The Tornado evened the score at one apiece in the very next inning, but the Falcons weren't prepared to hang up their bats just yet. Following a scoreless fifth frame for both squads, Pfeiffer went up 2-1 in the bottom of the sixth and never looked back. With junior Lexie Brock in to pinch run for her classmate Julie Bullington, Brock advanced to second base on a sacrifice bunt by senior Celia Dew. Eyeing her fifth RBI of the season, sophomore Jaclyn Boever took her place in the batter's box. Boever picked up that RBI, sending a single into right field scoring Brock and giving her team the lead for good. Saine led her team in the first game with two hits, with the win on the mound going to redshirt-sophomore Sam Jarmusch who evens her season record at 4-4. The loss went to King's Hannah Light who fell to 11-12.
Game two was a battle from the word go, with only one run making its way onto the scoreboard. With amazing defense and stifling pitching from freshman Sydney Poole, the first four and a half innings went completely scoreless. Pfeiffer would break out the bats in the bottom of the fifth however, putting up their lone run and subsequently the game winner. Boever got the offense started with a double shot to right field to open the frame. Two batters later Boever advanced to third when Crowder grounded out to second base while pinch hitting for sophomore Khristin Isley. On Pfeiffer's very next at-bat Boever picked up the Falcons' lone run of the contest when senior Hannah Jackson smacked a single up the middle. The hit ties Jackson with junior Lindsey Russell for total hits on the 2014 season with a team-leading 18.
The win on the mound was credited to Poole who improves to 3-4 on the season. King's Light pulled double duty today, falling in the second contest as well with her season record now 11-13.
Pfeiffer returns to action on March 20th when they travel to Catawba for a non-conference doubleheader. The first pitch of game one is set for 2:00 p.m.

You may not know who Jessica Chastain is right now, but wait a few days.
Although she appeared in six movies in 2011, including an Oscar-nominated turn in "The Help," the actress has managed to fly under the Hollywood radar. That no doubt will end when audiences see "Zero Dark Thirty," in which she stars as the tough CIA agent who led the decade-long search for terrorist leader Osama bin Laden.
Directed by Kathryn Bigelow and written by Mark Boal, both of whom won Oscars for "The Hurt Locker," the film, which tops many year-end Best 10 lists and is generating significant Oscar buzz, has become a lightning rod for political whining on a massive scale.
Some politicians have attacked the film as pro-Obama, and have accused the Administration of allowing unprecedented access to secret documents. Other politicians claim that the film glorifies torture, saying that it implies that waterboarding and other enhanced interrogation techniques led directly to the killing of bin Laden. Meanwhile, the CIA is uncomfortable with the extensive scenes of torture.
The only thing everyone agrees on is that Chastain will be nominated for an Oscar.
In the film, Chastain, who is currently starring in the Broadway revival of "The Heiress," plays an operative named Maya, who apparently was based on a real CIA agent who obsessed over the capture of bin Laden long before SEAL Team Six got involved.
Chastain will address the controversy that follows this film, and she'll explain why she felt more exposed in this film than she did in other films that required her to appear nude. The 35-year-old actress also will speculate on whether "Zero Dark Thirty" (a military term for the time that the Navy SEALs arrived at bin Laden's compound in Pakistan) will turn her into a movie star.
ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER: The last time we spoke, you said you knew you weren't a movie star because you weren't on magazine covers. Well, it sure looks like you on the cover of Marie Claire magazine. Are you now a movie star?
JESSICA CHASTAIN (laughs): To answer that question, you'd have to conduct a poll on the street to ask people if they knew who Jessica Chastain is. Most likely, they would say no. However, I do believe I am definitely a professional actor, and I get to do amazing movies with Kathryn Bigelow.
Q. But you think there is still a recognition problem?
A. I look different in a lot of my movies, and I think people don't make the connection between the name and the face. They don't usually recognize me on the street, but I am starting to see a change. One day, I was walking through Times Square, and I heard someone say, "Hey, that's Jessica Chastain." I was so surprised that I turned around. That never happened before.
Q. I interviewed Sharon Stone a week before "Basic Instinct" opened and, even though you never know about these things, the buzz was so strong on that film that she knew her life was about to change. There is a lot of the same buzz on "Zero Dark Thirty." Do you get any sense that your life is about to change?
A. This movie is not always easy for me to watch. The character holds so much inside a lot of the time that when she lets loose, like in that hallway scene with Kyle Chandler, I think I look like a monster with bulging neck veins. It almost seems like my neck is bigger than my head. I see vulnerabilities in myself that I've never seen in myself on screen, so I do wonder if it's a more exposed performance than I've given before.
Q. This coming from an actress who was naked in the movie "Lawless?"
A. I feel more exposed in this film than doing nudity in any other film. Doing nudity is embarrassing, but it was important to the character, particularly in "Lawless." It spoke to her power, so it was important. But I feel more exposed when there are emotions being shown that I wasn't aware of.

Marble Arch from the south (Hyde Park) side. John Nash. 1828. Moved to present site at the West end of Oxford Street near Speaker's Corner in 1851. Photograph 2006 Jacqueline Banerjee. Image may be used freely without prior written permission for any educational or scholarly use. GPL]
"John Nash designed the Marble Arch, like much else of elegance in London. It was built in 1828 as the chief entrance to Buckingham Palace, but when the Palace was extended in 1851, the Arch was moved to its current site as an entrance to Hyde Park. By tradition, only senior members of the royal family, the King's Troop and the Royal Horse Artillery are allowed to ride or drive through the Arch." — Ukattraction.com

SNOW HILL — With sweet potatoes being harvested by the bushels, it's time for the sixth annual N.C. Sweet Potato Festival.
This year's event may not have happened if it weren't for the enthusiasm of several Greene County folks who formed a festival executive committee and pulled it together at nearly the last minute.
"This committee was only formally formed about the first of June," said Trudy B. Hardy, Greene County Chamber of Commerce director and head of the committee, "so we only had a short time to put the festival together. So we certainly had some challenges."
The festival, previously organized by the county, had rung up costs over budget and only recently paid off its debts. Hardy said she was determined to keep this year's costs within the amount of money raised.
"We're very confident that we put a good festival in place," she said. "… Our vision is we would like to see it grow in size and participation because we truly believe that with the state of the economy in our county that the festival is one of the best vehicles that we have to promote our agricultural products in our county."
In fact, North Carolina is the No. 1 producer of sweet potatoes in the U.S., supplying more than 40 percent of the nation's sweet taters.
The festival, located adjacent to the recreation complex on Kingold Boulevard, will start at 6 p.m. Thursday with an opening ceremony and song by Nell Cannon, who recently auditioned for "America's Got Talent."
The festival poster contest winner's artwork will be unveiled by artist Dinah Sylivant of Snow Hill. Entertainment will follow.
Rides by Inners Shows will be open around 3:30 p.m. About 75 vendors are coming.
"We got more vendors than we've ever had before," said Shenile Ford, committee member and director of the Greene County Cooperative Extension. "This year, we're having an educational exhibit in the farmers market."
New this year, most of the vendors who set up in the recreation complex parking lot in previous years will be set up in the grassy area near the picnic shelter, she said.
The Extension will also be displaying the Dress Your Tater entries, including the contest winners.
There will be Cinderella-type carriage rides from 6-9 p.m. on Thursday and Friday.
"We'll have a photographer available," Hardy said, "and (children) can have their picture taken with Santa Clause."
Horse and carriage rides will be available from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. on Saturday.
On Friday, there will be all the rides, games, food, displays and activities, including entertainment beginning at 6 p.m. on the Yam Jam Stage and 7 p.m. on the Homegrown Stage. There is no admission fee for the Homegrown entertainment.
The Yam Jam Stage will be towards the back of the ball fields. There will be a charge for entertainment there on Friday and Saturday. Prices are $20 for Friday and $30 for Saturday. Discount tickets can be purchased in advance.
Tickets are sold at Snow Hill, Hookerton and Walstonburg town halls, Greene County Cooperative Extension, Greene Manager's Office, Greene County Chamber of Commerce, Beaman's restaurant and Ham's Produce.
Tailgate spaces are still available. Cost is $60 for Friday, $100 for Saturday or $150 for both days. Tailgaters can set up a tent, cook and enjoy the music.
For all entertainment, festival-goers should bring a lawn chair or blanket.
Ironman will be at the festival on Friday and Saturday. Bobby Brantley of Lizzard Lick Towing will make an appearance on Saturday at the Diamond Divas tent, where T-shirts will be sold.
Children 12 and under can ride for free from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. on Saturday. This special offer so all children can have fun is being sponsored by two businesses that wished to remain anonymous.
K-OS and I Forgot will provide music entertainment for the teens on Saturday.
Winners of the Greene's Got Talent, which happened at the Q on the Creek, will be performing on the Homegrown Stage on Saturday. They are Sherri Davis and Addelyn Esposito.
The 4-H Chicken Show will begin at 10 a.m. on Saturday. Check-in is at 9:30 a.m. Entry deadline is today. Judging is for ages 9-19. Ages 8 and under may exhibit in a non-judged category.
Membership in 4-H is not required. Entry forms and rules are available at ncsweetpotatofestival.com/chickenshowflyer13.pdf. For information, call the Extension office at 252-747-5831.
On Saturday, the recreation complex will not be empty.
"We're running a full schedule of soccer games," Greene Parks and Recreation Director Mike Anderson said.
There will also be the Nation's baseball tournament, he said, adding that Top Gun is having its World Series in the Rocky Mount area this weekend.
The parking lot will be available for the ball games. Parking for vendors will be at the farmers market. Off-site parking for the festival, including at West Greene Elementary and Yamco, will be available, as well as limited on-site parking.
For more information about the festival and tickets for the Yam Jam events, call Trudy B. Hardy at 252-747-8090.

Invented by a chemist to improve filter brewing, Chemex has a devoted following of folks ...count my own mother as one of them. The cornerstone of this method is Chemex's branded filter; they are 20-30% heavier than any other filter and have a special paper formulation to remove sediment but allow positive aromatic compounds to pass through.
The fine paper grain holds back "mud," while permitting correct filtration speed. Chemex brews at least 1-2 minutes slower than normal paper filters, more in line with the optimal time that hot water and grinds should contact each other: 4 minutes. The Chemex filter paper is heavy, so pre-rinsing is essential.
The Chemex is all glass, which makes it very easy to clean. Maybe the best thing about the Chemex is that you can see the process, interact, and make changes. There's a lot to be said for that and we shouldn't dismiss it.
Everyone has their own pouring technique (let the coffee pre-infuse/bloom or not, pre-wet the filter, pour at a particular rate) and the results are there in the cup. Machines don't typically allow for this.
Want to impress your friends? Tell them that your Chemex is in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
We have a page with full instructions for Chemex brewing.

Using as padding on my computer chair to lessen pressure on tailbone area. It started out great, then has become more condensed, not as supportive, like a deflated tire. It lasted a relatively short time. I now have another chair cushion under it to try and provide padding for me while I'm seated.
