We walked into the lobby and it was very beautiful. I would guess re-done to original historic decor. Then the oder hit us, it was a very musty smell not over powering but there. When we stepped off the elevator the halls were stifling hot, thermostat said 84. The rooms had sleep number beds which we were looking forward to since we have never used one before, not working quite right but we did manage to get them set and they were great. The rooms were large, but very plain and reminded me of something from the movies. You know where someone pays by the night for a week or so. They were clean, but very out dated and alot of wasted space. Overall, I'd say not worth the $132.00 we paid after parking and taxes(yeah had to pay to park as well) for the room. Half would have been to much too tell the truth!

Kevin Keegan has assured his England Under-21 skipper Steven Taylor that he is very much part of his plans at Newcastle United.
And to prove this, the Magpies boss is ready to sit down and talk to the Taylor camp about a new contract for the Geordie boy.
Keegan has already gone on record as saying how much he admires the 22-year-old local boy and he must have been disappointed that the defender went on record yesterday talking about his dissatisfaction that he has not had an improved contract offer.
The United boss told the Evening Chronicle: "I think there are things that are important to the player and the club, but I don't think at the moment they are the things that we should be most concerned about.
"We want to make sure we stay in this division, which we've got to. Then, we'll look at all those things.
"There are other players as well as Steven whose contracts need looking at. He's still got another year after this, so we've got time to talk.
"I think I'm going to see his dad this week."

(CHICAGO, ILL.) Flyweight Raushee Warren (Cincinnati, Ohio) took home the gold in a gutsy performance on Saturday at the 2007 World Championships in Chicago, Ill. Warren won a 13-9 decision over Thailands Somjit Jongjohor despite having his tooth knocked out with a Jongjohor head-butt in the second round..
The bout began slowly with each boxer taking a defensive stance and looking for an opening, and Warren held a slim 2-1 lead at the end of the first. The paced quickened in the second as Warren jumped out to a quick start, but was slowed slightly in the middle of the round due to the pain from the head-butt. Yet he battled through in the second half of the round, dropping Jongjohor to the canvas en route to a 10-4 lead at the midway point in the bout. Jongjohor began to chase the American boxer in the third, but Warren managed to use his movement and angles to keep the Thai boxer at bay and held an 11-7 advantage with one round remaining. He continued to utilize strong defense and athleticism to avoid Jongjohor and went on to win the 13-9 final decision and his first world championship.
My coaches Mike Stafford and Dan Campbell were telling me to keep coming forward and use my jab because he was tall, Warren said. He had a reach over me and Im a small boxer with short arms so I had to work my way inside. My coaches were telling me to work the jab, and use my speed and it didnt fail.
Warren becomes the first U.S. boxer since 1999 to win a world championship. Welterweight Demetrius Andrade (Providence, R.I.) will face Non Boonjumnong of Thailand later in the session.
Its a wonderful feeling, its another step to Beijing, Warren said. Im a World gold medalist and now Ive got to be the Olympic gold medalist.
Raushee Warren quotes
He head-butted me, you can see the cut on his head. It chipped my tooth.
A+, I performed well, I protected myself in the ring and I came out with the gold so its an A+. They better watch it, the young American team is coming.
It was a counter hook, I caught him coming in off balance. It was really just a punch to keep him off me. I didnt know it was going to knock him down, but once I knocked him down I wanted to put the pressure on him. My coaches told me to pick my shots and stay on the outside.
It was another thing reminding me of what the Olympic will be like. This is just another step. I cant be thinking to far but I qualified, Im going to Beijing and now Im a world champion. I can say that Im number one in the world, not number two or three and they have to watch out for me.
I dont think I eased up in the last two rounds, everybody that competed in this tournament is a great boxer. Hes also a great boxer, I just had to pace myself in the ring and protect my lead.
Im going to put the medal around my mothers neck, just like the gold medal in Beijing.
You just have to score the punches and be first, everything can be fair. Gold medal, here it is.

The Election Commission has taken suo moto cognisance of seven cases of paid news and is all set to issue notices to the concerned candidates soon, official sources said here today.
"We have taken suo moto cognisance of seven cases of paid news and will issue notices to the concerned candidates, asking them why expenses incurred by them to get favourable news published should not be included in their poll expenditure," District Electoral Officer and Collector Akash Tripathi told reporters here today.
A member of the Media Certification and Monitoring Committee (MCMC) said these seven cases were associated with BJP's Sumitra Mahajan, Congress candidate Satyanarayan Patel and independent candidate Praveen Kumar Ajmera.
Tripathi said the administration has set a target to achieve 65% turnout in Indore and has installed air coolers and cold drinking water systems at polling stations to achieve this.
In 2009, Indore witnessed 50.6% polling.

The most difficult problem was to identify where the leak was and I tried to repair the old pump but that was a waste of my time. I was most impressed with this company in how fast the order was taken and the perfect part was shipped to me. I received the part in approx. 30 hours after I placed the order. The part was delivered by FedExpress to my front door. A very reasonable price for the part. Anyway, most anyone could have done the repair that I did without difficulty.

Privacy and Technology
The words "right to privacy" do not appear in the Constitution. But beginning in the 1920s, the US Supreme Court drew upon several of the Amendments to defend what Justice Brandeis called the "right to be left alone."
As the right to privacy evolved, it came to include not just our right to be free from warrantless and unreasonable searches and seizures as stipulated by the Fourth Amendment, but our freedom to make certain decisions about our bodies and our private lives without interference from the government.
Perhaps no other constitutional right has been so challenged by technology and by national security concerns. In a 21st century world of social networking, online commerce, shared electronic medical records, data breaches and identity theft, internet tracking, and digital data up to our eyeballs – a world where companies monitor our purchases, movements, and lifestyle choices and vast quantities of confidential and sensitive information are being stored in databases – it is tempting to see privacy as a quaint and outdated notion.
Yet the ACLU remains certain that sensitive personal information still feels sensitive and personal, and no matter how much information we might share about ourselves online, no one wants the government monitoring them.
Our "right to be left alone" will be obsolete unless we can devise appropriate privacy protections for the digital age and a balance between security and liberty that is both effective and preserves our basic values.

Sources: Danica making NASCAR switch
Danica Patrick and sponsor GoDaddy.com will announce their plans for 2012 next week in Phoenix, sources told FOXSports.com
DANICA'S BESTThere's no one like Danica, both on and off the track. Check out some of our favorite photos of Danica in action.
A press conference is tentatively scheduled for Wednesday, Aug. 24 at 10 a.m. PT.
According to sources, Patrick, 29, will run the full season in the Nationwide Series for JR Motorsports in 2012. A limited schedule in the Sprint Cup Series with cars fielded by Stewart-Haas Racing, with the intent of moving full time to Cup in 2013, is in the works.
When Stewart-Haas team co-owner Tony Stewart was asked about Patrick at a charity event at Texas Motor Speedway on Tuesday, he replied, "I don't have an IndyCar team, and I don't have a Nationwide team so . . ."
Whether Patrick could make a one-race crossover to drive in the 2012 Indianapolis 500 remains to be seen. NASCAR plans to run the Nationwide Series at Charlotte Motor Speedway on May 26. The Sprint Cup race at Charlotte and the Indy 500 will be the following day.
Patrick currently competes for Andretti Autosport in the IndyCar Series and is 12th in the points standings. She has run a limited Nationwide schedule for JRM this season, with a career-best finish of fourth at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in March.
Patrick began racing in the IndyCar Series in 2005. She has one win, which came in 2008, 20 top-five and 61 top-10 finishes in 111 series starts. Patrick has a career-best finish of fifth in the standings, which came in 2009.

Latest Arable land Stories
DUBAI, UAE, December 9, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Food security is a significant concern for governments in the MENA region, which is already heavily dependent on food imports.

Iraq is on the brink of an environmental catastrophe thanks to decades of war, mismanagement and drought, environmentalists say. Near daily dust storms, and shriveling riverbeds and marshes are turning arable land into desert, killing trees and plants, and transforming what was once the region's most fertile soil into an agricultural wasteland, the Los Angeles Times reported Thursday.

There is no compound wall or even a toilet worth a mention for passengers
ERODE: A dozen dirty, tobacco-stained columns support a concrete structure. Beneath the roof are a few shops.
And, surrounding the building is an undulating mud tract. All this is on a 1.3-acre plot that makes the Vellakoil bus stand.
There is no compound wall or even a toilet worth a mention. As buses enter and exit, a cloud of dust settles on commuters and eatables kept for sale.
The poor infrastructure is, however, no deterrent to buses stopping over at the bus stand, for the town is on the Tiruchi-Coimbatore route.
Every five minutes at least two buses plying on the route halt at the bus stop.
On the Erode-Vellakoil route, there are more buses, including private operators. Likewise, there are town bus services as well.
For the number of buses and the passengers that the bus stop sees, the infrastructure available is grossly inadequate.
The inadequacy has been a part of the bus terminus ever since its inception, says a shop owner on conditions of anonymity.
The State Government assisted the Vellakoil civic body in 1993, then a selection grade town panchayat, with Rs. 17 lakh.
The bus stand was inaugurated on December 11, 1993.
Vellakoil Municipality is a grade three civic body and sources say that things will improve because the civic body has written to the Government asking for funds.
Chairperson Santhi Kandasamy says about five months ago, the Municipal administration sent a proposal for Rs. 90 lakh.
Of the sum, Rs. 50 lakh will be spent to lay concrete flooring for the bus stand, and also to increase the number of bus bays by another five and construct a compound. The civic body was yet to hear from the Government, she adds.

The Evolution of Corporate Logos
Walmart first opened its doors in 1962. Founded in Arkansas (where its headquarters remain today), Walmart began to experience significant growth in the 1970's, when the first Walmart distribution center was opened. Walmart's logo has gone through several iterations since the company's founding. Perhaps the logo with the most significant departure was the "Discount City" emblem, which was only used in print advertising, on company uniforms, as well as in-store signage.

Editor's NoteDirector Robert Zemeckis revolutionized the art of animated film in 1998's WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT by dropping cartoon characters into the same frame with flesh-and-blood actors. In THE POLAR EXPRESS, live action and animation have merged seamlessly, resulting in sparkling super-realism. A landmark technique Zemeckis and his Sony Pictures Imageworks team call "Performance Capture" perfectly suits the tenor of this wondrous children's Christmas story by Chris Van Allsburg. A disillusioned little boy, just old enough to doubt the existence of Santa Claus, has the adventure of a lifetime one fateful Christmas Eve. Clad in his pajamas, he climbs aboard a magic train to the North Pole, driven by a kindly train conductor (voiced by Tom Hanks who starred in both of Zemeckis's Academy-Award winning films FORREST GUMP and CASTAWAY). Among myriad jaw-dropping moments, the train plummets brakeless through crystalline mountains in a simulated roller coaster ride. Going off the rails, skidding sideways, and snaking violently across a frozen lake, the train arrives at the North Pole (a vast, glowing city of brick buildings). At that moment, the car carrying the kids detaches and they're sent tumbling down never-ending chutes and slides until they land in the middle of Santa's Workshop. With its fascinating tale and impressive technical frolics, THE POLAR EXPRESS is destined to become both a holiday classic and a new turning point in the art of animated cinema.

Customer Reviews of Polar Express/3-D (Blu-ray)
Don't confuse this disk with the more expensive disk that works with 3D TVs. This is a 3D movie with green and red lens paper glasses to watch the show- just like Friday the 13th part 3 in 3D back in 1988. We watched 2 minutes of it and will regift it the first chance we get! Ran out to Best Buy to get the correct version.
Excellent Family Movie11/18/2008
This is an excellent movie that everyone will enjoy from children to adults. The 3-D is a great feature, but if you want to watch the original 2-D version it has that included for you too. Great movie that you will watch over and over again and I highly recommend.1 Helpful | 0 Not Helpful

ok..... i accept my fault.. next time i'll explain the situation clearly
Don't presume that what you believe is understood will be by others.
To give you an example for your question, my door (along with many others I'm sure) has a deadbolt and knob lock that both use the same key. Does this render its design useless? Also, consider a "superkey" or "masterkey" that locksmiths have that can open any lock. This removes the distinction for the keyholder, but not their need.

Ineligible player costs Harrison victory
Former Central guard enrolls at Bosse
Harrison High School's football team had to forfeit its season-opening 52-7 win over West Vigo on Aug. 17 because of a clerical error, said Warriors athletic director Bryan Speer.
Officially 0-2, Harrison will host Mater Dei (2-0) at 7 p.m. Friday.
"It was a clerical error on my part," Speer said. "We used an ineligible player who dressed out and got into the game. With the situation with the score, he ended up playing at the end of the game."
Speer said the player, whose name he declined to disclose, would not return to the team.
From 2010 to the present, Harrison has won four games on the field, three over West Vigo.
"We will move forward," said Speer. "The kids played real well that game and it's unfortunate that it resulted the way it did.
"You can't take anything away from how well the team played that night."
nKourtlandt Martin, a 6-foot junior who started at guard for Central's basketball team last season, has enrolled at Bosse, confirmed Bosse athletic director Larry Cochren. Martin began the school year at Central, before recently transferring.
His eligibility has not yet been determined by the Indiana High School Athletic Association, Cochren said. If Martin's move is considered an "athletic transfer," he will have to sit out 365 days and only play junior varsity ball this season, according to IHSAA guidelines.
"I can't get into the ifs, ands and buts," said Cochren, noting that Martin's sister also is enrolled at Bosse. "Kids throughout Evansville at one point or another enroll at one school and move and are allowed to stay at the original school they enrolled in. I don't know if it makes a difference (where Martin's family lives). When you live in a city such as Indianapolis, Evansville or Fort Wayne, it's unique. It's a gray area."

The food recommended by the Breeder
posted 6 years ago
The breeder of my cat recommended that we use only this brand of cat food until at least the kitten was one year old. We did ,but switched because it was hard to find this food at the grocery store and it was more expensive.
Pros: a very good food for the young kitten
Cons: It is some what expensive and not available at the grocery

The relay which turns the airmatic suspension pump on may fail causing the pump to run continuously. This can result in failure of the pump motor or a dead battery as the pump motor will continue to run after the car is turned off. Also, Worn airmatic pump mount bushings can causes noises in the front axle while driving on bumpy roads or a buzzing noise while the pump is running.
The center console armrest can break. Replacement is commonly the recommended repair.
Front thrust arm and control arm bushings can crack and sometimes tear completely. If this is not repaired quickly, damage to the front subframe unit will occur, which is very expensive to repair. Updated control arms (that prevent damage to the subframe when the bushings wear out) are available.
A door control module/actuator may fail. Our technicians recommend finding an expert to repair them. Taking the door trim panels off requires expert knowledge because they can break and the pieces are very expensive.
It is not uncommon to encounter premature failure of the anti-lock brake system (ABS) modulator assembly due to dirty brake fluid. Our technicians recommend flushing the brake fluid every two years in order to help prevent this problem.
The electrical connector at the automatic transmission may leak fluid into the wiring harness. If not repaired, the oil will migrate through the wiring harness and damage the transmission control module. A new harness and control module may be necessary to correct this problem.
CD changers, command units, voice control units, PSE units, and Tele Aid units are prone to failure, especially in early models.
The engine may develop a stalling and/or no start condition due to a failed crankshaft position sensor.
An engine oil leak may develop from the oil level sensor. Replacement of the leaking sensor will commonly correct this concern.
An engine Oil leak may develop from the PCV vent housing on the valve cover and/or the inspection plate on the front of the engine.
The active body control system can leak fluid from numerous areas, including the tandem pump, hydraulic lines, struts, and/or seals. If it is not repaired, the vehicle ride height could drop too low and cause damage to the undercarriage.
The evaporator temperature sensor can fail, causing the AC compressor not to cycle. If the AC compressor does not turn on, the AC system will not blow cold air. If the compressor is stuck on, the air will be very cold at first, before warming up.

Children can
help avoid
bullying if they:
Bullying is less likely to occur when children are in
groups and are in areas supervised by adults. But these strategies only work
when schools have firm policies in place against bullying. Staff must be
trained and supported in consistently enforcing these policies.
Children who bully look for an easy target. Bullies are less likely to
pick on those who:
Bullying is reinforced when it is ignored or quietly
accepted. Encourage children to stand up for each other. Help your child think
of ways to help someone who is being bullied. For example, you might suggest
that a child say, "Why are you picking on him? If you think it makes you look
good, you're wrong." Other simple ways include refusing to watch or participate
in bullying. Sometimes distracting a bully, such as by starting a conversation,
can prevent a confrontation.
Defending another person may
sometimes be too much to ask. Help your child understand that, at the very
least, he or she should tell an adult.

Cambodian ambassador to Philippines recalled
Published on Aug 10, 2012 11:41 AM
MANILA (AFP) - Cambodia's ambassador to the Philipines has been recalled, Manila's foreign minister said on Friday, after the envoy accused his host country of playing "dirty politics" in its maritime row with China.
Philippine Foreign Secretary Albert del Rosario told reporters that Cambodian ambassador Hos Sereythonh had been recalled, although he did not give reasons.
The recall came after Mr Rosario summoned the ambassador last month to explain comments he made in a letter to a Manila newspaper blaming the Philippines and Vietnam for a rift at a regional conference in Cambodia.
The ambassador failed to appear, pleading illness.

This is one for the flannel-shirt indie folksters. Celebrating the launch of their third album, Hanging up the Moon fills The Substation for two nights with their hushed folktronica tunes. Hanging up the Moon began as the solo project of ex-Concave Scream frontman Sean Lam, but has since evolved into a five-piece. Their third record, Immaterial, sees the band depart from the alt-folk of their earlier albums. It's far more complex, with strings and electronic murmurs laying the groundwork for Lam's soaring vocals – in fact, a string sextet is set to join the band at The Substation.

Kim, H.M., Kara Zivin, D. Ganoczy, P. Pfeiffer, K. Hoggatt, J.F. McCarthy, K. Downing, and M. Valenstein. 2010. "Predictors of alternative antidepressant agent initiation among U. S. veterans diagnosed with depression." Pharmacoepidemiology and Drug Safety, 19(10): 1049-1056.
OBJECTIVES Naturalistic studies comparing differences in risks across antidepressant agents must take into account factors which influence selection of specific agents and may be associated with outcomes. We examined predictors of antidepressant choice among VA patients treated for depression. METHODS Retrospective cohort study of VA patients with depression diagnoses and a new start of one of the seven most commonly prescribed antidepressant agents between 1 April 1999 and 30 September 2004 (n = 502 179). We examined the relationship between patient and facility characteristics and new starts of bupropion, citalopram, fluoxetine, mirtazapine, paroxetine, sertraline, and venlafaxine. We also examined factors associated with new starts only among patients starting selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). RESULTS Thirty-three percent of patients starting mirtazapine had at least three outpatient mental health visits in the prior year, compared to <= 24% of patients prescribed other antidepressants. Patients starting mirtazapine were also most likely to have received at least two other psychotropic medications in the prior year. Of the four SSRIs, 40% of the patients receiving sertraline and only 31% of those receiving fluoxetine were 65 years or older. A comorbid anxiety disorder (other than post-traumatic stress disorder) was diagnosed in 21% of paroxetine patients compared with <= 15% of other SSRI patients. CONCLUSION Choice of antidepressant medication for depressed VA patients was associated with important differences in demographic and clinical variables, including psychiatric illness severity, older age, and likelihood of a comorbid anxiety disorder. These findings emphasize the importance of controlling for selection bias when using observational data to compare risks from or effect of mental health treatments.

Main: (207) 973-7000 | Toll Free: (877) 366-3662 | 489 State Street, Bangor, ME 04401
(Bangor, Maine) – Bicycling is a great way for children and families to get some exercise and enjoy our beautiful Maine summers, but injuries can occur if safety isn't taken into consideration. The EMMC Trauma Care team and Adoptive & Foster Families of Maine are promoting bike safety for kids at this weekend's Hampden Children's Day by offering tips and conducting helmet checks."A little bit of prevention can go a long way when it comes to bicycle safety," says Anna Moses, RN, BSN, CCRN, CEN, trauma nurse coordinator at EMMC. "A few simple things like making sure helmets fit correctly and teaching kids to be on the lookout for hazards will ensure they stay safe and have a fun time."EMMC Trauma Care and Adoptive & Foster Families of Maine staff will provide reflective stickers and blinking lights at 9:30 am on the soccer field behind Reeds Brook Middle School. Streamers, stickers, and balloons will also be available for kids to use to decorate their bikes."We'll help them decorate their bikes for the parade, get them ready to have fun, and share a few safety tips they should keep in mind anytime they go for a bike ride," says Anna. "Adoptive & Foster Families of Maine has been assisting kids with bike decorating at the parade since 2005, and we love getting to take a part in such a positive activity for kids and their families," adds Bette Hoxie, executive director. "The staff from EMMC has added tremendously to the experience; many hands make light work."

If you have OCD(diagnosed or not), what are your triggers?
Mine are garbage cans and toilets.
If you have OCD(diagnosed or not), what are your triggers?
Mine are garbage cans and toilets.
toilets, garbage cans, sinks, water coolers, handrails on stairwells, handrails on escalators, handrails anywhere, hotel bathrooms, hotel duvet covers, hotel shower curtains... my ocd friend just got me thinking about using a napkin for bathroom doors, and preschools but you know there's nothing you can do about preschools...
I am not diagnosed and I don't think I have a really bad case or anything but the above are what get my mind racing... I always have a napkin on my person at all times except on in bed, work and home - but that was an inherited trait from my mom and grandma and it's something that comes in handy for co workers and family members alike, you can never have too many napkins
it's my cat's birthday
Coins/counting. Anything that requires precision. (Stitching, knitting, building.)
I also smell things. If it smells weird, I don't want it. I LOVE smelling clean laundry.

Help me earn a WINNER badge by voting for my cutie!
I never hold our cats unless I am going to have a shower right after. I have no idea how people can sleep with their animals. I secretly want to be abe to do that, but if I dared mention it to DH, he would leave our bedroom door open some night by ''accident'' and I would wake up to a cat laying on my face. It has happened before which was followed with me screaming at the cat to get off the bed.
Open doors, public bathrooms (toilet handles - not all places I've been to and go have automatic flush, all door handles in this area), handles on anything in public period and if I could open doors with my feet I would, cleaning toilets at home, washing my hands after touching dishes that are clean or not, hangers have to be facing the same way, colored hangers have to be in groups, clothes must be hung up and facing a certain way and categorized, I must have an even number of food items on my plate, and each food item must be an even number, when I go for walks I have to count the number of large cracks I walk over (yes, I'm crazy), I can't stand the feel of certain types of fleece, I could go on. Suprisingly I function pretty well.
ODD doesn't have anything she's ocd about, but I see ocd tendencies in mdd already and she'll be 3 the end of March.
3 minions
My trigger is anxiety, but my OCD doesn't have anything to do with germs or cleanliness. The higher my anxiety level, the more likely I am to get random obsessive thoughts. Those thoughts are typically scary things like "what if I put my hand in the garbage disposal" or "what if i drive into oncoming traffic".
How can so many women get pregnant and yet still know nothing about biology? If I keep rolling my eyes I'm going to get a migraine.

Thousands join first lady for 'Let's Move' outing
DES MOINES, Iowa Wild arm swings, sharp robotic turns, pulsing fist pumps.
Michelle Obama busted out a few new moves Thursday to mark the second anniversary of her campaign against childhood obesity with a few new friends - 14,000 or so, it turns out.
The first lady rocked out with thousands of sixth- to ninth-graders at a Des Moines arena on the first stop of a three-day trip to highlight her "Let's Move" campaign. It was a giant pep rally for eating right and exercising, complete with confetti, balloons and a towering birthday cake made of fruit.
The first lady and crowd revved up by doing the Interlude, a dance that started in a dorm room at the University of Northern Iowa and went viral from there.
Mrs. Obama chose Iowa for her first stop because it is working to become the nation's healthiest state by 2016, as measured by the Gallup organization. It ranked 19th in 2010, the most recent rankings.
Mrs. Obama sold healthy eating to the kids as something fun, but also dangled the bait that it could help them "pass your tests and get good grades in school."
The first lady took on the issue of childhood obesity because almost a third of U.S. children are at least overweight, and about 17 percent are obese.
In the two years since she launched her campaign, she has brought substantial new visibility to the childhood obesity issue and has prodded schools, families, restaurants, grocery stores, doctors, local communities and others to do more to tackle the problem.
Robert Blendon, a Harvard University professor who tracks public opinion on health care, said Mrs. Obama has helped bring about a shift in attitude, with childhood obesity increasingly being viewed as a societal problem rather than a personal matter. She's given people tangible ideas on how to eat better and exercise more rather than talking in broad concepts that don't hit home with parents, he said.
"It's getting into people's conversations in ways that it would not have been if someone had not taken it on," Blendon said.
The first lady herself said recently she's "pretty much willing to make a complete fool out of myself" to get kids moving and eating better.
To that end, she's done pushups with everyone from Ellen DeGeneres to South Africa's Desmond Tutu, danced the Dougie with school kids, done jumping jacks and swiveled a hula hoop on the South Lawn, fed veggie pizza to Jay Leno and competed in an East Room potato sack race with Jimmy Fallon.
Thursday, she added the Interlude to her repertoire.
Later in the day, she visited Little Rock Air Force Base in Arkansas to announce a new program to improve the meals served on military bases. She also sat down to dinner with eight parents at an Olive Garden restaurant in Fort Worth, Texas, to swap ideas on raising healthy kids. They dined on healthy dishes like Venetian apricot chicken (400 calories).
On Friday she travels to Florida.
