Birthdays are supposed to be joyous occasions for most, marking another milestone in one's life---a celebration with one's family and friends for making it to see another year---and are often accompanied with good memories of the past----past birthday parties, past presents, past milestones and accomplishments, etc…. Not all have fond memories of their birthday, however, as they reflect on past failures or look at another year as just growing older with no hope it seems.
I have always had pleasant memories of my birthday in particular, from childhood to adulthood, presents or none---it has always been a fun day for me with family and friends. I was even surprised this past year with a little party at work that morning, something I had never had previously at any place of employment. Indeed, my last birthday was set to be another one to remember, with good memories and times with co-workers, friends, and family. But a happy day it was not to be, as news soon came of an horrific tragedy that had occurred, none like we had seen before in recent memory.
It was December 14, 2012---what seemed to begin as an ordinary day in Connecticut and throughout our land. The day quickly changed for the worse, however, as early that morning a young gunman entered the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, killing twenty young, helpless children, most of whom were between the ages of 6 and 7 years of age, as well as six adults. The shooter was only 20 years old himself, too young in the state of Connecticut to carry or own a handgun, but not too young to carry an assault rifle.
The primary rifle he used in the shooting carried at least 30 rounds of ammunition; the shooter fired between 50 – 100 rounds with all the weapons he had with him, before turning one on himself. All the weapons belonged to his mother, whom he had also shot and killed that morning. Heartbreaking----Catastrophic----Dreadful----Tragic----Unbelievable. Words do not describe what had occurred that day----young children with so much hope for the future, with so much excitement and anticipation for the holidays that were soon to come, with their young precious lives taken from them in the blink of a second by a deranged madman.
This leads us to the topic of Gun Control---the mere phrase itself raises the hairs on the heads of the NRA establishment and stands in contradiction to our Second Amendment rights as a people of our great nation.
The Second Amendment to our Constitution states the following: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." Our United States Supreme Court has ruled, as many of us long believed, that an individual's right to possess a firearm is unconnected to service in a militia, and is indeed protected by the Second Amendment [District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570 (2008)].
We the people have had the right to own basically any kind of gun that we desire since the original assault ban weapon legislation was allowed to expire in 2004. Our rights to own these guns are protected, and rightfully should be. The original framers of our Constitution and Bill of Rights, or First Ten Amendments to the Constitution, believed strongly in the right to have standing, armed militias, and the rights of the people individually to own guns to defend and protect themselves, their homes, their families, and their land from attack. From that time until now, other than the 10 year ban from 1994-2004 on assault weapons, we the people have had these rights to do so, and to own any type of gun we choose. In these troublesome times abroad, with terrorists on the loose throughout the world and throughout our nation, and with uncertain stability in the world the norm now, we the people should continue to be allowed to own any type of gun we desire so that we will be able to protect our homes, families, and land when needed as well.
We do not know the time that we will need them, and with the possibility of great defense cuts on the horizon and our military being downsized, we must be assured that we are able to protect ourselves when the time does come.
Our President, as mentioned in his State of the Union last week, wants a gun ban. Do we need legislation in place to curtail such incidents as the Newtown horror reference above, or the Aurora, Colorado, theater shooting last year, or the other isolated shootings that have astonished us all and left us breathless?
Will legislation actually work to do this if passed? There are those of the opinion that it did not work from 1994-2004, and that it will not work again. If someone wants an assault weapon bad enough to commit such a crime, they will find one. It may not be as easy, but it will still be possible. And that should scare us the most, because then these type weapons will be in the wrong hands of the wrong people, while the rest of us will be defenseless against them if a ban does exist.
It is true that an assault weapon was used in Newtown, but semiautomatic handguns and shotguns were actually used in the shootings at Aurora, Columbine, and Virginia Tech. Does this mean we now ban shotguns and handguns for good measure as well? Or shouldn't they have been discussed first to be banned, and not assault weapons?
Even if our President and Democrats in power wanted to attack handguns and shotguns, they knew they would be quickly hauled out of office on a rail if they had even thought such. Too many normal, ordinary, law-abiding, and sane Americans own handguns and shotguns to even bother the attempt. So, why attack assault weapons? Does it scare us to think that we too might be subject to the other end of one of these weapons too one day? Is that the reason we want to get them off the streets now, because one madman committed a despicable, disgraceful act, so, as a result, they all should be banned?
Other legislation that has been suggested could be better suited and less imposing that an assault weapons ban, such as background checks, or limits on magazines, clips, or rounds. Background checks should be essential when purchasing a gun, but even a background check would not have protected our loved ones at Newtown; remember, the guns used were owned by the mother, and it was the deranged son who committed the crime, and not her, so a background check would have done little good.
And limits on rounds seems similarly in violation of the Second Amendment as banning any gun does; we should be able to own as many rounds as a weapon will hold, and again this is for the same reasons as mentioned above --- we need to be equally able to protect ourselves from our enemies who will in all likelihood own the maximum number of clips an assault weapon holds; these are unstable times in the world with terrorists on the attack; etc…, etc…
It is said that Thomas Jefferson made the profound statement, "Those who hammer their guns into plows will plow for those who do not." Whether he actually did say this or not, the absolute truth of the statement remains. Our founding fathers wanted citizens of our new republic to be able to preserve, protect, and defend our rights and freedoms, our families and lands. We must be in a position to do so now more than ever before in our history.
What is the solution to this problem? I have a child of the same age as the children killed at Newtown. It broke my heart then, and still does now, to think about it or the possibility of this happening closer to home or ever again. Our schools, playgrounds, common places and work places must be protected. There are deranged lunatics out there.
We can't stop them all. But we can be educated, have adequate defenses and plans in place, and be ready and prepared for such incidents in the future. Does this call for an assault weapons or gun ban of any kind? Probably not. But it does call for us to unite as a people and come up with solutions that will benefit and protect us from such in the future as best we can plan, to prevent such from happening again, the best that we can. Our thoughts and prayers remain with those affected by these tragedies, and with our leaders in Washington who will make the policies that affect all of our lives in the days ahead.

I tried. I gave it my best shot to try and make it through the list of the new places that were on my radar for my visit to San Francisco, the one that I'd been scribbling down for the last few month. But getting felled by a bout of whatever it was that I picked up on my flight sapped me of a bit of my energy. Fortunately, midway through my trip, I was able to rally back and proved myself to be the trooper that I knew I could be. But apologies to the folks who came by to meet me at my event, for the laryngitis that prevented me from expressing my enthusiasm for meeting you! And thanks for braving the cold temperatures to come out and say hi.
Even since my last visit just a few years ago, a bunch of bakeries, chocolate purveyors, bread places, and restaurants have opened in San Francisco that pretty much knocked my socks off. I was also thrilled to see that the city has implemented a city-wide composting program, to deal with all the kitchen and food scraps that normally get tossed. Seeing that has prompted me to take another look at options in my own kitchen in Paris, since it pains me to throw things that can be reused away. (The worm-based composters, which seem to be the best option for apartment-dwellers, make me a little uneasy. I have nothing against worms, but am not sure I could sleep soundly at night with a big container of them wriggling around nearby.)

People continue to ask if Krispy Kreme still plans to open shop in Burlington.
Here's what's known: The city's approved plans for the doughnut shop, and Krispy Kreme acquired a building permit.
At the end of October last year, plans were submitted to the city of Burlington's Planning Department, for the lot across the street from where the company initially announced it would be building a new store.
Last May, Brian K. Little, Krispy Kreme Doughnut Corp's director of corporate communications in Winston-Salem, said the company was planning a location at 210 Huffman Mill Road, which was formerly Panchero's Mexican Grill.
City Planner Daniel Shoffner said he'd never seen any plans reflecting that, and the plans for the lot across the street — 182 Huffman Mill Road, former home of a Bank of America branch across Mebane Street from Panchero's — are the first he'd seen from Krispy Kreme. Those plans were approved by the city's Technical Review Committee on Jan. 2.
The property was previously owned by the N.C. Department of Transportation, purchased, "as part of the right of way acquisition for the Mebane Street widening program," said NCDOT District Engineer Chuck Edwards.
He said sometimes when the state acquires right of way, it does so by purchasing an entire property. After a project is completed, "some parcels … can no longer be used in (their) current form," and aren't necessary to the roadway.
In that case, Edwards said, the NCDOT sells the residual property to an independent investor.
According to Alamance County tax records, the NCDOT sold the property at 182 Huffman Mill Road to Chad Sharpe on Nov. 26, 2012, who then sold it to KKHMRC, LLC the following day.
Sharpe, who's a partner in the limited liability company, said Krispy Kreme has leased the property, but a "For Lease" sign will stay up until it's a done deal. He explained, as is common with franchised corporations, Krispy Kreme's lease includes a little leeway in case the company needs to back out of the deal.
However, Sharpe said, that's very unlikely since Krispy Kreme has already obtained building permits for the location.
"That's a huge hurdle to cross," he said.
"They were issued a demolition permit on Monday to tear the existing building down," as well as a building permit to construct a new building, Joey Lea, Burlington's zoning administrator, said Friday.
"They didn't say when they'd get started," said Lea. However, he said, "Usually it's no more than a couple weeks from when the permit's issued."
In an email sent late Friday afternoon, Little said, "I'm told that construction will begin early next week. No opening date has been determined at this time."
"We are very excited to bring out one-of-a-kind, signature hot original glazed doughnuts to Burlington," he added.

It seems almost cliché to say it, but this really was an experience you can't teach in the classroom. Nothing could prepare us for what we faced on the ground once we got to China; we needed to be flexible and open-minded about the culture and our projects. The world is so interconnected now that international experience, particularly one like this where we needed to step out of our comfort zones, is invaluable.
If there's somewhere in the world you want to go, you can be sure there's a program that will take you there. Yes, there are advantages to studying abroad through CCI programs, but if your heart is set on a destination we don't offer, then follow your heart. Consider the following:
• Kent State offers dozens of short-term faculty-led study abroad courses through departments all over campus. Some require specific majors or prerequisites, but many do not. These still offer the ease of Kent State registration and Kent State credits without having to mess with transient processes (transferring study abroad credits from another university).
• Kent State has exchange agreements with universities all over the world. Attending a university that Kent State works with directly makes the transient credit processes relatively easy.
• Most other American universities and a variety of independent study abroad companies offer an almost infinite number of additional options. If you can't find what you're looking for through any of the previous options, you'll probably find it here.
• The study abroad staff in the Office of Global Education can help you sort through all these possibilities and find the right one for you. And if you can't make up your mind, there's always Semester at Sea, which can take you to as many as four continents in one semester. For more information on all these options, visit the Office of Global Education here: http://www.kent.edu/globaleducation/education-abroad

Earlier this month, we expressed great excitement over the recent addition of two new product lines to the Sylvane catalog, including Dyson air multiplier fans. Now that we're halfway through the first week of summer, it's the perfect time to test these high-tech fans out.
Since revolutionizing the way we clean our homes with the Dyson vacuum cleaner, Dyson has led the appliance industry in technology and innovation. After seeing their latest product launch up close and personal, let me be the first to say Dyson air multipliers are no exception. Be prepared to throw everything you thought you knew about fans out of the window.

The healthcare industry in South Florida, like the rest of the country, faces huge challenges in the year ahead as major federal reforms kick in, experts told about 700 people at a University of Miami conference on Friday.
We are at a critical time in health policy, said Mark McClellan, former head of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. There are going to be some bumps along the way, especially starting in 11 months, when the biggest changes in the Affordable Care Act kick in.
Bumps may be understating what we may go through, said Patrick Geraghty, chief executive of Florida Blue, the states largest health insurer.
They spoke at the conference on the Business of Healthcare Post-Election. The speakers accepted the federal reforms often referred to as Obamacare as not only inevitable but necessary. As Tom Daschele, a former Democratic U.S. senator from South Dakota, put it, having 50 million uninsured is just unacceptable.
But the reform act, signed into law in 2010, contains more than 2,000 pages, plus thousands of pages more of enabling regulations details that will have major, and perhaps unexpected, impacts on the healthcare industry, which now makes up almost 20 percent of the nations economy.
In October, insurance exchanges will open for enrollment groups that will allow individuals and small businesses to purchase policies with no exclusions for pre-existing conditions. Starting next January, virtually everyone will be required to have insurance, Medicaid will expand in many states, and businesses with more than 50 full-time equivalent employees will be required to provide insurance or pay fines.
Jan. 1 is a very significant date, said Steven Ulllmann, director of health policy programs at the UM business school. He called reforms a process that will change over time.
The one thing we know is that healthcare reform will be reformed, said Chris Jennings, a Washington health policy advisor for the Clinton administration and three senators.
Karen Ignagni, president of Americas Health Insurance Plans, the insurers trade group, said she had strong ideas about tweaks that could minimize disruption. One arcane, but crucial provision of the law requires that an older persons policy can be no more than three times as expensive as a young persons.
The provision will mean huge increases in the policies of younger persons, to pay for the much higher costs of their elders. Insurers are asking for that policy to be postponed for two years, retaining the present maximum spread of about five to one, so that younger people could sign up for insurance without huge sticker shock.
For example, if a 25-year-old pays $100 and a 60-year-old pays $500, the new rule would hike the younger persons premium to $150 and cut the older persons premium to $450 a 50 percent increase for one and a 10 percent decrease for the other.
The thinking of lawmakers was that by lowering ratio, the costs of healthcare would be spread out and shared more equally by the population.
Anne Phelps, a healthcare principal with Ernst & Young, said she favored another change in the law, which now requires that next year a company with the equivalent of 50 employees to provide insurance for anyone working more than 30 hours a week or pay a fine. She thought the threshold should be raised to 32 or 34 hours.
That brought an objection from UM President Donna Shalala, who served as secretary of Health and Human Services during the Clinton administration. She argued that many companies are building part-time worker pools simply to avoid providing insurance, and it made sense for the law to help part-timers.
Shalala also noted that the law is designed to help people who now have lousy insurance, with such high deductibles or other limits that the people tend to avoid healthcare.
Many speakers noted that the law makes only small steps toward controlling healthcare costs. All agreed that cost containment is necessary to keep healthcare from overwhelming the economy. But that could be difficult.
But a 1997 act sought to limit Medicare payments if the program was losing money and every year since, doctors groups have successfully battled cuts to maintain their payment levels.
The quickest way to clear a room on Capitol Hill, said Ignagni, was to talk about cutting healthcare costs, because that would mean losing jobs. She estimates that over the next decade, Washington needs to cut $1 trillion or $2 trillion out of healthcare spending.
The reform act attempts to reduce cots by creating accountable care organizations, in which groups would join together for coordinated care that many believe would reduce duplicated services and reduce costs. This ACO trend means that many hospitals and other groups are consolidating to form larger organizations.
But Robert Galvin, former chief medical officer of General Electric cited a study of about 20 markets where there has been consolidation of healthcare businesses. With less competition, he said, prices are up. ... Right now Id say were losing that battle.
Summing up one panel discussion, Richard Clarke, former president of the Healthcare Financial Management Association, noted there has been a shift in focus from acute to non-acute care, from federal to state controls. So I guess you have to say shift happens.
NOTE: An earlier version of this story misspelled the name of Steven Ullmann and gave the wrong numbers in an example on younger and older workers.

Lyle Leads Women's Golf to 11th Place Finish at Lander Invitational on Hilton Head Island
September 30, 2012
HILTON HEAD, S.C. - Pfeiffer University's women's golf team concluded the Lander Bearcat Invitational in 11th place after weekend competition at Hilton Head Island's Old South Golf Links. Lauren Lyle led the way for the Lady Falcons finished tied for 29th.
Lyle was one of four Pfeiffer golfers with consistent rounds over the two-day tournament. Lyle shot 77/78 to conclude at 155 while Danielle Haizlip posted a pair of 79's.
Stefania Valgeirsdottir followed with 83/82 while Katie Nance carded two rounds of 83. Georgi Hoeksema rounded out team action with a 187.
Savannah College of Arts and Design (SCAD) won the team event by four shots over host Lander. Lander's Teresa Caballer Hernani used a school-record round of 66 to take individual honors on the par-72, 5,826-yard layout.
The Lady Falcons will next tee it up on October 15th and 16th traveling to the Patsy Rendleman Invitational at the Salisbury Country Club.

Really Lovely
We originally ordered our save the dates in this design and really loved them! So when it came time to order the invites we decided to use this same suite. They turned out beautifully. We didn't change any of the colors. Really the only issue was trying to figure out how to close them and there is no inner envelope for the pocket invites. We fixed both of these issues by adding a band we made out of ribbon and adhering squares of card stock layered. The top layer we adding our guests names to, so that everyone would know exactly who was invited. I believe they turned out better than I thought they would and we've gotten many compliments on them.

The Curriculum
Note: The SJSU OT Online Masters Program is now closed for admissions. For information, please contact us at OT Online.
The curriculum is intended to provide advanced knowledge of occupational therapy theory and practice, management, education and research. Courses in theory and practice will enable you to reflect on your own clinical reasoning and acquire new ways to think about your practice. Courses in management and education will provide you with an opportunity to examine current health care and education issues and to increase your leadership effectiveness. The research course will enable you to design and implement clinical outcome studies, conduct needs assessments, or program evaluation.
The curriculum is planned so that you can complete your degree in four semesters plus two summers, taking 6-7 units per semester. A cohort-based model is used. A cohort of 16-20 students is admitted each Fall semester and the cohort proceeds through the program sequentially.
The curriculum is sequenced so that you begin the first semester with courses that provide the context for understanding occupational therapy theory, values and education. The second semester introduces you to research methods and allows you to examine the effect of diversity on health care practice. The third semester expands your understanding of occupational justice as well as management, program development and organizations. The fourth semester provides an opportunity to study the history of the profession and the structure to complete your graduate Master's project. Each summer you will enroll in a 2 unit seminar course that addresses current and emerging topics in occupational therapy theory and practice. All courses are three credits unless otherwise noted.
The culminating activity of the program is completion of the Master's project. Students apply the knowledge gained in the program to create a product of scholarly and practical significance. A wide variety of student projects are acceptable including outcome studies, needs assessments, program development, creation of educational material, or scholarly exploration of occupational therapy and practice. The project advisor guides the student through the process of completing the Master's project. Students prepare a poster presentation of their projects for the final onsite retreat.

Men's Soccer Falls to Limestone 4-0 as Saints Use Three-Goal Second Half
September 12, 2012
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Visiting Limestone College broke open a 1-0 game at the half with three second half goals en route to a 4-0 victory over Pfeiffer University in Conference Carolinas mens soccer action on Wednesday afternoon. The Saints slide to 4-1 overall, winners of four-straight, 2-0 in league play while the Falcons fall to 0-5, 0-2.
Thomas Metzemaekers (Groningen, NETHERLANDS) would put Limestone on the board in the 16th minute for his first of the year before quickly striking to open the second half just 26 seconds in. Metzemaekers first goal scored unassisted from just inside the 18-yard box while Thomas McCready (Ellesmere Port, ENGLAND) assisted off a free kick in the second.
Later in the 68th minute, McCready would tally his second goal of the season finding the back of the net directly off a Saints free kick. Sam Orritt (Doncaster, ENGLAND) would register his first of the season just under a minute later.
Pfeiffers best opportunities came in the 27th minute as Chandler Ligas (Flowery Branch, GA) just missed to the right after a Falcons corner kick. Corey Davis (Orlando, FL) and Kyle Toler (Charlotte, NC) each added shots late in the first half looking for the leveler.
Pfeiffer will step out of conference play briefly on Sunday afternoon to host Palm Beach Atlantic at N.E. Lefko Field. Kickoff is set for 1:00 p.m. with live stats will be available through http://www.gofalconsports.com.

Washington, D.C. – Rep. Kevin Brady (R-TX), chairman of the congressional Joint Economic Committee, today applauded the decision by the Federal Reserve's Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) to continue tapering its large-scale asset purchase program by reducing its purchase of long-term Treasury securities by $5 billion and reducing its purchase of agency mortgage-backed securities by $5 billion.
Chairman Brady said, "It is encouraging that the Fed, notwithstanding caveats in its statement, is staying the course on its path toward ending its Quantitative Easing Program. I wish the purchases would end sooner, and I wish the Fed would stop reinvesting the principal payments from its holdings in more agency mortgage-backed securities; but the Fed is slowly moving in a better direction."

John Galt is the über-capitalist in Ayn Rand's novel Atlas Shrugged, but steel magnate Rearden is easier to take.

He's got one employee and one client. He had better make them love him.

Stars Hollow, the setting for Gilmore Girls, is the most small-business-friendly town in America. Its heart is the Dragonfly Inn, creatively managed by these voluble neophytes.
This Dr. Seuss villain is well named. Once, it was easy to despoil the environment in pursuit of riches. Now, corner offices abound with self-proclaimed Loraxes.
The hero of Philip Roth's American Pastoral is the epitome of a virtuous second-generation business owner—a disciplined, one-time high school athlete from Newark, New Jersey. Alas, the '60s were not kind to capitalists—or to Newark, New Jersey.

Tens of thousands of visitors are expected to converge on Jerusalem's Old City each evening for the next week, as all four quarters are cast aglow during the capital's sixth annual International Festival of Light.Beginning Wednesday night, the festival will feature 17 acclaimed international light artists, including numerous interactive light shows, from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. until June 19 – all free of charge. Local artists and students from the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design will display light fixtures at the show as well.In a statement, Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat lauded the festival as a cultural beacon for the nation, and the world."Jerusalem is reclaiming her proper status as an international cultural center and magnet for large numbers of young people, tourists and visitors, who are coming to enjoy the intermingling of a glorious past history and heritage with a lively and colorful present," the mayor said.In addition to each evening's light shows, the paths of each of the Old City's four quarters will be lit with white, blue, green and red trails featuring sounds to provide a "multi-sensory experience" for the public, the municipality said.

NEWPORT BEACH – The Orange County Community Foundation issued a report Thursday showing that residents of a county widely perceived as affluent also face huge challenges in basic needs, ranging from health care and housing to education and food.
The nonprofit, which helps direct money and other resources to service providers throughout Orange County, also announced a plan to make it easier for anybody to donate to specific local charities. By spring, the group's new website (ConnectOC.org), will provide the public with a searchable database of some 600 fully staffed local nonprofits.
"The whole point of ConnectOC is to motivate and inspire all residents to get involved in meeting the needs of their local communities," said Shelley Hoss, president of OCCF, which since its founding in 1989 has granted $225 million.
Those needs are detailed in the organization's overview of Orange County, a six-month effort that for the first time pulls together previously reported statistics from numerous public agencies and private organizations.
The group's findings, released to coincide with National Philanthropy Day, but first made public Wednesday night at the Newport Beach-based foundation's annual meeting, include:
•Nearly half of Orange County students live in families making the equivalent of $40,000 a year or less.
•A worker earning minimum wage would have to work 133 hours a week to afford a one-bedroom apartment. (A separate report released this week by the California Association of Realtors concluded that just 1 in 3 Orange County households can afford to buy a median-priced, single-family home.)
•One in 3 O.C. residents lacks access to essential health care services.
•Only 55 percent of third-graders read at a proficient level.
"Some of these results were surprising, even to professionals like us who work in the philanthropy field," Hoss said.
There are more than 750 community foundations in the United States, and last year OCCF was the 10th most active grant maker, Hoss said.
Much work, however, needs to be done to close the gap between the county's most fortunate and those facing such challenges as eating regular meals or receiving even basic medical care, OCCF officials say.
"I don't think the general public knows the deep needs of Orange County, particularly in health care," said Mike Mussallem, chairman and chief executive of Edwards Lifesciences, which employs more than 2,500 in Orange County.
"Most people think of Orange County as a mecca of healthy, vibrant people, and will be surprised to learn from ConnectOC that half of our adults and a quarter of our teens are obese, or are approaching obesity, or that 1 in 3 residents do not have access to the health care they need."
Mussallem partners with OCCF for his philanthropic efforts and was involved in reviewing the report before it was published.

4 Effective Exercises for Fat Loss
ACE Fit Share
April 26, 2013, 12:00AM
Childhood obesity has been increasing over the years in many areas of the world, along with obesity-related illness such as heart disease, arthritis, certain cancers and type 2 diabetes. Physical inactivity and sedentary lifestyle rank high as major risk factors to this growing epidemic.
In my 30+ years of working with kids, one thing I've learned about motivating them to exercise is that you have to keep it fresh and exciting. For many youth, exercising at the gym or home (as their parents may do) becomes boring and routine, increasing the likelihood that they will lose interest. In 1989, realizing I had to motivate my students in their physical education classes to exercise, I created a program called Project ACES, which stands for All Children Exercise Simultaneously. Although Project ACES is not affiliated with the American Council of Exercise (ACE), they were kind enough to allow me to discuss it here, as many ACE professionals bring Project ACES to their local schools.
What is Project ACES?
Project ACES is the signature program of the Youth Fitness Coalition, Inc. (YFC), a non-profit educational organization based in New Jersey. Each year on the first Wednesday in May, millions of school children all over the globe exercise simultaneously in a symbolic gesture of fitness and unity to show the world that they do not fit the negative stereotype of being physically unfit. This non-competitive program has proven to be educational, motivational and fun. This year, May 1 marks the 25th anniversary of Project ACES, which has been supported by Presidents of the United States and nationally recognized organizations such as The American College of Sports Medicine. Recently, Olympic hero Dan O'Brien became the Project ACES lead spokesperson.
According to exercise physiologist H.J. Saunders, president of the YFC, Project ACES' goal is three-fold:
Children need to be physically active for at least 60 minutes every day, but according to published reports, many are not getting enough. Daily or weekly Project ACES clubs are an easy solution. "Healthy nutrition and smart exercise and activity only work if you do it continuously," explains H.J. Saunders. "Project ACES Clubs offer schools and sites a framework for that opportunity to teach and do."
What do the children do on Project ACES Day?
Children exercise, walk, jog, bike, dance, do aerobics or a combination of several different activities. Each club organizes its own participation assembly for the 15- to 45-minute program. There is no specific routine to follow—the goal is to have the children do some form of appropriate exercise when the program begins. Keep it simple and make it fun.

If you don't have access to a Project ACES near you, here are a few ideas to help kids share in the spirit of Project ACES on May 1 and beyond:

We went to Legoland and the kids loved it. The streets and sidewalks were cleared quickly after it snowed six inches the night before. Starbucks by Legoland was the perfect hangout until Legoland opened and the biggest Starbucks I've ever seen.

i bought those jeans because on the website they look beautiful went 1 size smaller comparing to what i wear in Diesel( model groupee), wanted so much distressed jeans. well i was sooooo disapointed, the wash is not beautiful, the fit is poor - the 2 rear pockets are too close to each others making the impression of a thinner hips which i hated on me, overall, does not worth the money, sent back
I was so excited to purchase these jeans because Siwy Hannah is my fav style skinny and I was crazy for the wash, I Don't Care. I was really sad when I received them in the mail to find that they were too big in the waist and knee area. This was unusual for Hannah, as I own them in Bluestorm, Blackstorm and Jet Obsidian, and I have always found them true to size. (Maybe this is only the destroyed style) The exception would be the Hannah crop with the mock pockets (Air Kiss, Cool La La, It's Magic, Lovespell, etc.) This pair of jeans fit in sizing closer to these. I have the Air Kiss, and I went down a size, so they fit great. Because the I Don`t Care pair do not have as much stretch as Air Kiss, I could not be sure that down sizing would then not make them too tight in the thigh. Since return shipping is not free in Canada, I opted to refund them instead. I sigh with regret because the wash on this pair is beautiful and the denim is butter soft. If they had fit better, I would have been in love with them. Another point to consider for very short girls like me, the wash is gorgeous at the bottom of the leg, but if you have to cuff them under, you lose this lovely detail:( If you are considering these, I would recommend sizing down.

Photographer Jeffrey Salter started his photographic career as a photojournalist shooting 35mm film. He covered everything from fashion shows in New York, London, Milan and Paris, conflicts and social upheavals in Haiti, and stories such as the crash of Pan Am flight 103 in Lockerbie, Scotland. When he decided to become a magazine photographer he switched over to medium format and decided to concentrate on portraits and lighting.
"It's my philosophy as a visual artist, to begin with an end in mind. I can tell by real world use that Phase One and their team of designers have produced a digital back of the highest quality with an eye on the details.
I desire to produce memorable and iconic images. A writer shapes beautiful narratives with nouns, verbs, adverbs and adjectives, we, photographers, use cameras, lenses, f-stops, shutter speeds and lighting to create compelling and beautiful images. The IQ260 gives me the look I want in my photography and is an important tool for a successful journey."
Jeffrey Salter was one of the first to upgrade to an IQ260 digital back after its release. Within 3 months he had had 3 magazine covers published. His most recent was captured in the Florida sun and featuring international soccer star Mario Balotelli.
First of all, Jeffrey shares what the IQ260 brought to the Mario Balotelli shoot:
A. Dynamic range to deal with an extremely contrasty scene
B. 1/1600s flash sync for controlling the ambient light
C. 60 megapixel file which enabled the art director to crop the image from a horizontal (landscape) image into a vertical (portrait) cover
D. Consistent and reliable tethering via Capture One Pro 7.
The technical details: Looking at it from a technical or objective point of view, my new IQ260 brought me a wonderful 13 stops of dynamic range. I started set-up time at 7 a.m. because you want everything to be set and ready when you are shooting a high profile subject. Mario Balotelli is an international soccer star, striker for AC Milan. He's a great athlete, plays classical piano and has met with the pope, but still only 23. He was cool and approachable. The photography shoot was scheduled to start at a cool and comfortable 9 a.m. At that time the light was going to be absolutely beautiful, perfectly soft and diffused by clouds, a giant soft-box with low contrast. For a photographer it would have been a walk in the park, simply add a bit of shiny board or a reflector and you are golden.
However the shoot didn't start until a sweltering 11 a.m. and by then the sun had arched higher in the sky blanketing everything with harsh rays, backlighting the pool and highlighting the palm trees in the background, creating a contrasty mash-up. My walk in the park was short lived. I faced blue water in a white pool; green palm leaves all gleaming from the sun and an athlete with dark skin tones, all backlit. The pressure was on. It's important in my style of imagery to be able to control the contrast and fine-tune my lighting. The IQ260 easily captured the detail in this scene, not just detail, but richness in the detail.
A combination of syncing the strobes at a high shutter speed of 1/1600s, to bring down the highlights and a key light set at f/5.6 on Mario to open up the shadows (a Profoto flash head, 7B power pack and Profoto 5ft silver umbrella) gave me the shallow depth of field, allowing the focus to be on Mario and it painted the scene in the light values that I wanted. I was able put the highlights where I wanted by adding a strobe head to the left and slightly behind, fitted with a magnum reflector.
This image was composed to run across two pages, a landscape or horizontal spread, inside the magazine. When Brad Smith the Director of photography at S.I. returned to the New York City office, he suggested that the image should be cropped into a vertical and used as the cover. Having the IQ260 producing 60 MP raw digital file, which when exported out from Capture One Pro 7 to a 346 MB TIFF (16-bit) gave my client the quality to publish the image without limitations. Which gave me a third published national magazine cover shot with an IQ260.
It has to feel right when working with your camera! Sports Illustrated magazine is one of most prestigious sports magazines in the world. It's a weekly magazine. Therefore the deadline for images is very tight. Every cover image is important. It must scream out from the crowded newsstands.
From a subjective point of view, the dynamic range, 1/1600s flash sync speed, wi-fi connectivity and big file sizes, gave me peace of mind. This was a high-pressure shoot. Only two other international soccer stars have graced the cover of the magazine to date, and they are Pelé and Diego Maradona. The magazine's director of photography, Brad Smith had taken a late flight from New York City the night before, was on the set, watching the images on an iPad. The features built into the IQ260 allow me to put my energy into the art. The fact of the matter is: Often you don't get hours and hours to engage with a high profile subject. I only had Mario for 45 minutes, and needed to complete two set-ups. When he arrived on set it wasn't going to be about f-stops and dynamic range. It meant running a tight ship with the best photo assistants and the best gear set up to create a knockout image which would be seen around the world. Once the stage was set the interaction would be between Mario and me. Having the mental clarity to concentrate to get Mario to relax and give the world a look, a gesture, a moment or window into his being, at that moment I simply press the shutter and my IQ260 would do the rest. The peace of mind that comes with knowing that the technical needs are answered allows me, or any other photographer, to get into the zone where we can create a good, great and sometimes iconic image.

Minimally Invasive Surgery
Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is an innovative technique in which small "key hole" incisions are made in the chest (thoracoscopy) or abdomen (laparoscopy). A small camera is passed through the keyholes and provides the surgeon a high definition picture of the inside of the body. Long, thin instruments as thin as a matchstick are then used to perform the operation.
About Minimally Invasive Surgery at All Children's Hospital.
The All Children's Pediatric Surgery group is the regional leader in providing state of the art minimally invasive surgical procedures. Our surgeons have specialty training and expertise to perform a wide range of minimally invasive operations on babies, children and adolescents.
Highlights of our program include:
- The first Single-incision Surgery to remove a pediatric patient's gallbladder in the region was performed at All Children's Hospital. This is a method in which a small incision hidden in the belly button is used to perform complex operations, resulting in essentially no visible scar. See videos of Single-Incision Surgery in our Pediatric Surgery Video Library.
- Operations to correct many congenital conditions can be performed using minimally invasive techniques on babies as small as 4 pounds. The first minimally invasive repair of a congenital diaphragmatic hernia in the region was performed at All Children's Hospital.
- The most frequently performed operations on children such as appendectomy pyloromyotomy (for pyloric stenosis), cholecystectomy (for disorders of the gallbladder) and inguinal hernia repair can be performed using minimally invasive techniques. See videos of Minimally Invasive Surgery in our Pediatric Surgery Video Library.
What can you expect from Minimally Invasive Surgery?
The benefits of minimally invasive surgery include:
- less injury to tissue
- less pain
- smaller or no visible scars
- less time in the hospital
- quicker return to school, activities and sports

Single-incision cholecystectomy
Single-incision surgery is a very exciting, innovative technique that allows surgeons to perform many operations and leave no visible scar. This is accomplished by using a single incision (cut) hidden in the belly button. Up to four specialized instruments can be passed through this one incision to perform the operation. Benefits of this approach include less pain, possibly no visible scar and quicker return to full activities. Operations offered using this approach include cholecystectomy, appendectomy, ovarian cysts and other procedures as recommended by your surgeon. See videos of Single-Incision Surgery in our Pediatric Surgery Video Library.

NEW BOSTON — From the slicked back hairstyles of the roaring 1920s to the long and wavy styles popular today, Shorty's barbershop has cut them all. This year the small barbershop is celebrating 90 years in New Boston, and they're still keeping things small and simple.
James "Shorty" Mowery first opened Shorty's barbershop in 1923 on Harrisonville Avenue, near Spruce Street, in New Boston; but moved it down the street several years later. In about 1950, Mowery moved again — this time to Shorty's current location on Harrisonville Avenue near the village limits line. In the 1960s, Mowery sold the business to barber Jerry Dodd, who kept it running in the tiny shop until he sold it to Drew Rucker in March of 2007. Dodd passed away several months later, leaving the legacy of Shorty's in Rucker's barber seat.
"Everybody knows Shorty's. It's just a hometown barbershop, and one of the few that's survived," Rucker said. "I think we just try to treat everybody good and welcome them here."
Originally from Clarktown, Rucker had no previous experience as a barber or owning a barber shop before Shorty's. But after graduating from barber school, he knew immediately where he wanted to be.
"I came in here as a kid, and I knew it was a well-established shop. I knew it was probably one of the busier shops in the area. I wanted to be a part of that because I knew it was a good shop," Rucker said. "I've thought about expanding, but at the same time I hate to do that. I want to leave it the same atmosphere it's been for the history of this shop."
But Rucker did make a few changes in the small, one-room barbershop on Harrisonville Avenue.
"We totally gutted the place and remodeled it. I've tried to make it more of a man cave type thing. I tried to paint it the Ohio State theme (red and gray colors), but it also matches the New Boston team and I wanted to match that up. I've tried to keep everything the same," Rucker said.
Rucker also hired a new barber, Jeff Nelson, last week to help out. He said he believes Nelson will do a good job living up to the legacy of Shorty's.
For more information and shop hours, find Shorty's barbershop on Facebook.
