From Staff Reports
PHILADELPHIA – The wins just keep piling up for the Starkville boys basketball team.
The Yellowjackets latest triumph came Tuesday night with a 67-41 victory on the road against Neshoba Central.
Starkville led 41-15 at halftime en route to its first division win of the year.
The victory improves SHS to 8-0 overall and 1-0 in district play this season.
Starkville's Jacolby Mobley and Steve Brand each paced the Jackets offensively, scoring 11 points apiece.
Gavin Ware and Tori Rice each added 10 points for SHS.
Tae Amos came off the bench for Starkville to post a team-high eight rebounds.

Starkville returns to action on Friday when the Jackets host Grenada.
Girls Game
Neshoba Central 58,
Starkville 34
PHILADELPHIA – Brittany Brown scored 15 points for Starkville but the Lady Jackets fell on the road to Neshoba Central.
The Lady Rockets led 29-23 at halftime, then pulled away in the second half for the victory.
"Beginning with the second quarter, we really just didn't play well the rest of the game," said SHS head coach Kristie Williams. "Our mental toughness was lacking. After the first quarter, we dropped our heads and we just didn't play hard.
"(Neshoba Central) hit a couple of 3-pointers before halftime and it was like the momentum swung their way. From then on, they carried the momentum over to the second half. We just didn't play Lady Jacket ball. If you don't come to play in the district, you're going to get beat every time."
Starkville saw its record drop to 4-3 overall and 0-1 in division play.
The Lady Jackets will look to rebound on Friday when they host Grenada.
"We've got to go out the next couple of days and mentally prepare to fight a tough team in Grenada who will come out trying to win," said Williams.

Port Authority Shirts: S508 BRG Men's Burgundy Short Sleeve Easy Care Shirt
2 out of 2 people found this product review helpful.
Love it...
By: KoKo
What can I say about this Port Authority easy care shirt, but wow. This shirt fits great, looks great, feels great - it's a great shirt! The short sleeves let you wear it in warmer weather, but without compromising the dressy appearance. The material is a comfortable blend of organic and synthetic materials that keeps you cool and doesn't get drenched with sweat, and the construction is reliable - the stitching is solid and the collar stays straight. And it really is easy care - no heavy ironing required, machine-washable - it's basically the ideal short sleeve dress shirt for the working man who doesn't want to spend more time caring for his clothes than he does wearing them. I definitely recommend it, and I'll be buying more shortly.

Anne Milton never rebelled against their party in this parliament
Uncommonly, for a Whip. I thank the hon. Lady for allowing me to intervene. I blush at the praise. The step was an important one to take. She is right about the challenges facing the public health sector in getting people to come forward for testing, but there are a number of initiatives. I know that the Department of Health is doing a great deal of work in trying to encourage people to come...
On a point of clarification, as a former public health Minister, I should say that there is no intention to change access to emergency and urgent treatment, or treatment for infectious diseases. In fact, I am proud that we widened access to HIV treatment, which was the right thing to do; it was previously excluded. Professor Stephenson's point about the east African child raises some...

Search Geolocated Tweets Sample
The Geolocated search function is a very useful tool, especially for local businesses. It enables you to find Twitter users nearby who are tweeting about a certain word or topic. For example if you are a sushi restaurant owner you could search for users tweeting the word "sushi" to find people to target e.g. to persuade them to visit your restaurant by telling them your special offers or other details about your restaurant.
To do this firstly select "Geolocated search" from the "Target" section of the top navigation bar.
Then type the a name for your search, the desired word e.g. "Sushi" in the search criteria field and select a radius and language.
You can then view all of the people who have tweeted about sushi on your dashboard. Select "participants" from the community stats panel to view all of the users who have tweeted "sushi" recently.
You can then view the individual users and perform the following actions: follow, direct message, add to list, add a note or tag and create an individual best time to tweet report. You can also be taken to the user's Twitter profile.
To perform an action for multiple users, drag and drop a box over them and select one of the buttons at the bottom of the page.
From the dashboard you can also view the actual tweets that contain your search criteria. Select "Tweets number" from the community stats panel.
From here you can directly reply to users for example to tell them about your current sushi offers.

Winter Olympics meets 'Suits': Apolo Ohno helps promote Season 3Add to Favorites | XXII Winter Olympics
"Suits" has released a second video starring Olympian speed-skater Apolo Anton Ohno, Sarah Rafferty and Rick Hoffman. Will Ohno be impressed enough to sign with Pearson Specter?
In this second video, Ohno gets pitched some advertising and endorsement ideas by Louis Litt. Strangely, however, Ohno doesn't seem too excited by Ohnos cereal or by the Chia soul-patch idea. This is too bad, since those Chia statues would sell amazingly well.
Donna seems to agree with Ohno on the endorsements, but she is mostly more interested in his thighs. That is probably fair.
"Suits" Season 3 returns Thursday, March 6 at 9 p.m. on USA.

A few famous Beavers
This is a never-comprehensive,
always-growing list of some of the OSU graduates of the 20th century and
beyond who have achieved a measure of fame, the most
famous of whom, unquestionably,
was Linus Pauling (left), a member of the Class of 1922
and the only person to ever win two unshared Nobel
There are numerous fascinating stories
to be found:
The voice of "Goofy." The first Americans to climb
Everest. Two recipients of the Congressional Medal
of Honor. Two Oregon governors. The father of the
computer mouse. The inventor of the artificial heart
valve. The world's tallest basketball player. The
Pacific Northwest's only Heisman Trophy winner.
The man behind the "Fosbury Flop." The lady who
was "Betty Crocker."
Some are included here because their stories are
inspiring, others because what they did helped advance
the cause of science or medicine or human relations,
others because they were eyewitnesses to history,
or historic themselves. A few are here because they
were the first to do something or because, by their
example, we are all better people.
Years listed after each entry represent year of
graduation or years of attendance.

Safe, Effective and Painless Home Hair Removal Techniques
Home hair removal methods include shaving, tweezing, electronic tweezing, depilatory creams, home electrolysis units, bleaching, sugaring, threading, hair-reduction creams and home wax kits. But which to use?
Home Hair Removal Remedy #1: Shaving
Shaving remains the most popular form of home hair removal. However, more and more people are realizing the benefits of electrolysis, laser and home wax kits.
Shaving's two main benefits are cost and implementation. It's the cheapest form of home hair removal and can be completed in minutes (depending on the body part).
The most common problem with shaving is razor burn, which can lead into pseudofolliculitis barbae (PFB), a skin condition caused by enflamed hair follicles. To help prevent PFB, try a less clean shave. Leaving a small amount of stubble reduces inflammation significantly. A minor shortcoming is that skin feels less smooth, but stubble will grow back quickly anyways.
Another frequent side effect is when curly hair grows back into the skin and causes infection.
PFB should not be confused with folliculitis. Both conditions are direct results of hair follicle inflammation, though folliculitis causes boils on the skin. Folliculitis can be treated creams or through permanent hair removal.
Shaving Tips
- Shave every other day (reduces skin irritation)
- Shave each area only once
- Use mild anti-bacterial cleansers
- Keep the skin loose when shaving
- Add 2 drops of 100% tea tree oil to shaving cream
Home Hair Removal Remedy #2: Tweezing
Tweezing is a fast and effective way to remove hairs from a small region. Its results are more long-lasting than shaving because it removes the hair at the root (instead of cutting the hair at the surface of the skin). However, hair may grow back thicker, faster and darker after repeated tweezings.
Tweezing is a time consuming process and should only be used on small areas such as eyebrows or above the lips. Tweezing can cause discomfort; to minimize this, apply ice to numb the area prior to tweezing. Topical creams such as lidocaine and benzocaine are effective as well, but must be applied at least an hour before tweezing.
Tweezing Tips
You can train hair regrowth based on which way you tweeze. For example, if you tweeze with a downward motion, hair will most likely grow downward. This doesn't happen overnight; several tweezings must be done to achieve this.
Home Hair Removal Remedy #3: Depilatories
Depilatories are chemicals which remove hair just below the skin, but not the root. Depilatories come in many forms: lotions, creams, gels, aerosol sprays and roll-ons are among the most popular. Regardless of form, depilatories use calcium thioglycolate, sodium thioglycolate and sodium hydroxide to dissolve the hair.
These chemicals break down the keratin in hair, causing it to break away from the skin. The hairs clump together with the depilatory and are removed at the same time.
New hair, if growing just below the surface, may appear shortly after.
Pros of Depilatories
- Inexpensive for of hair removal (cheaper than waxing, not as cheap as shaving)
- Hair grows back smoother
Cons of Depilatories
- Results do not last as long as waxing
- Increased risk of infection and skin disease
- Unpleasant odor
Home Hair Removal Remedy #4: Abrasives
Abrasives for hair removal include sandpaper, pumice stones and abrasive gloves. Abrasives only remove hair from the skin's surface; they do not remove hair at the root.
Generally, smaller abrasives are used for smaller body regions. Hair removal on the lip, for example, calls for an abrasive wand, while leg hair removal is done with abrasive gloves.
It should be noted abrasives only work on fine hair, not on frequently shaved hair.
Unlike shaving, skin should be held taut when using abrasives. Run your hand first clockwise, then counter-clockwise until the hair has been removed. Care should be taken to not irritate the skin.
Pros of Abrasives
- Cheaper than most home hair removal remedies
- Can be done quickly and painlessly
Cons of Abrasives
- Fast regrowth of hair (similar to shaving)
- Can irritate skin if done improperly
- Should not be used by anyone using Retin A or microdermabrasion treatments
Home Hair Removal Remedy #5: Electronic Tweezing
Electronic tweezing is often – and illegally – marketed as home electrolysis. The FDA has forbidden this labeling – only electrolysis can be labeled permanent hair loss – but many spas and salons continue this practice.
The electronic tweezing method uses a high-frequency pulse which is supposed to kill the hair at the root. The problem with this, however, is that the frequency is easily diverted. In fact, the level of frequency needed to destroy the root would completely burn off the hair before ever getting that deep. In other words, this method is simply a more expensive method of conventional tweezing.
In addition, electronic tweezers emit radiation, and should not be used by anyone with a pacemaker or current skin disease (or sunburns).
It is our opinion electronic tweezing should not be used by anyone. It is largely ineffective, costly and poses potential health risks.
Home Hair Removal Remedy #6: Home Electrolysis Kits
Home electrolysis kits should not be on the market. It requires a professional's experience to determine the length of hair, the angle of growth and its different phases of growth. In addition, even experienced technicians find it nearly impossible to work on themselves: magnification is necessary for locating each individual hair.
Home electrolysis kits often carry a limited 1-year warranty. This does not guarantee permanent hair removal – like professional electrolysis – it only covers defective parts.
In this technique, fingers are dipped into a saline solution (salt water); this provides the conductor for electrical current. The user places on hand on a touch-band (to close the circuit) and inserts a small needle (called a stylet) into the hair follicle. The frequency is then increased until a tingling sensation is noted, presumably when the stylet has reached the hair root's center.
Note: home electrolysis kits should not be used by anyone with a pacemaker, diabetes, hepatitis, scleroderma, lupus or any other skin disease.
Improper use of home electrolysis kits are widespread. Failure to correctly insert the needle into the hair makes hair removal impossible and can cause damage to the skin.
Home Hair Removal Remedy #7: Hair Reduction Creams
Note: Hair reduction creams are not hair removers, they merely reduce the number of hair removal treatments during a given time-frame.
The most effective hair reduction creams are on a prescription-only basis, most notably eflornithine. Eflornithine is an FDA approved hair reduction remedy which reduces hair growth by slowing the metabolic activity of hair follicles, thereby reducing the amount and rate of hair growth.
Use of hair reduction creams take 4 – 8 weeks to see results. Creams may be applied frequently; hair will grow back to its original state within 8 following termination of treatment.
Pros of Hair Reduction Creams
- No health concerns
- Ease of use and application
- Reduces cost of hair removal remedies by slowing hair growth
Cons of Hair Reduction Creams
- Can be expensive without insurance
- Prescriptions are often needed
- Temporary redness and skin irritation may follow treatment
Home Hair Removal Remedy #8: Home Wax Kits
An incredible variety of home wax kits await consumers. From cold wax to microwavable wax, the most common applications are either a spatula or rolled on directly from the container. The hair is then removed via small strips.
Perhaps the biggest benefit of home wax kits is privacy. There are a number of body parts that are either too difficult or uncomfortable for the professional to reach. Home waxing provides a solution to both concerns.
The more expensive home waxing kits have instructional videos which guide consumers step-by-step through the home hair removal process. The amount of instruction, however, is no substitute for hands-on training and experience. Novices may mistakenly apply or remove the wax, causing the hair to snap and leave the roots behind (and thereby defeating the purpose of waxing). These broken hairs can lead to folliculitis, a common skin irritation.
Waxing at home can also get messy fast. Prior to waxing, take proper precautions to ensure surfaces are not affected from waxing.
Pros of Home Wax Kits
- Cheaper than professional treatment
- Can be done whenever, wherever
- Complete privacy
Cons of Home Wax Kits
- Can be very messy if not properly planned
- Incorrect application can lead to broken hairs and skin irritation
- Many areas are hard to reach
- Waxing in the wrong direction may not effectively remove hair
In conclusion, there are many home remedies for hair removal but choosing the right one depends upon a number of factors. Review each above before deciding which is right for you.

The "TART"

The "TART" it ROCKS!
Well we made it back! We lost one rider due to severe allergies and what Bull dust did to them. Also, due to my reluctance to share the lead. My bad on the lead but we've since talked and everything is cool.
The dust was incredible! I have never seen dust like this! On the third day we lost another rider due to a holing his tire on a high speed gravel road run. The hole was the size of a very large guys thumb! 10 tire plugs on the hole weren't enough to hold it! (TubeLess system)
Overall all the bikes ran good!
So, is the
worth the ride? Does a bear crap in the woods?
I clocked just a tad under 649 miles from Eldorado, AR to Blue Eye, Mo..
Part of the TART still needs ridden. I soloed from Gilbert, AR to Blue Eye. I ran out of time and energy so I will check out the last 60 or so miles in a couple of weeks. The tracks reside for the moment in my GPS and I will download them tomorrow and make the necessary changes.
What a ride. Right off the bat into 10" deep bull dust in the pine barrens, from there into the Weyhauser Forests, hunting leases, closed gates, re-routes, should of been re-routes, glad we didn't re-routes, washed out roads with 2-3 foot cravasses ready to swallow you and your bike up, berms, fences, poker, good friends and a little whiskey.
In short it was great! Some of the most technical riding I have done in many years and absolutely loved it!
Everyone I rode with were outstanding riders! There is one particular section around Lake Winona, AR that was absolutely exceptional! Joe and I came down off that mountain track and saw a guy sitting on the main road by his pick up (he was a check in station for a triathalon) I pulled up to him to ask if there was anyplace to eat in the vicinity. Before I spoke he said: "Did you guys just come off that mountain on your bikes?"
I told him we had. He shook his head and then said "You fuckers are out of your mind! You got a death wish?" that is the worst trail in miles.
Man was it fun!
More to follow.

Abuses by al-Shabaab, the Transitional Federal Government, and AMISOM in Somalia
This 62-page report finds that al-Shabaab forces have brought greater stability to many areas in southern Somalia, but at a high cost for the local population - especially women. Based on over 70 interviews with victims and witnesses, the report describes harsh punishments including amputations and floggings, which are meted out regularly and without due process. People accused of being traitors or government sympathizers - often on flimsy pretexts - face execution or assassination. Al-Shabaab fighters had threatened some of those interviewed with death simply because they lived in government-controlled areas of Mogadishu.

Sandy Allan, from Newtonmore, and Rick Allen, from Aberdeen have been awarded the prestigious Piolet d'Or after a successful expedition to the Himalayas last year.
Dave Thompson, SNP MSP for Skye, Lochaber and Badenoch has lodged a motion at the Scottish Parliament to congratulate the two climbers.
Mr Thompson says: 'I congratulate both mountaineers on this well-deserved honour for their efforts climbing the Himalayas.
'Sandy and Rick are a testament to the adventurous Scottish spirit and continue the great Scottish tradition of mountaineers like John Cunningham, Tom Patey, and Dougal Haston.'
The Piolet d'Or has been described as the Oscar of mountaineering.This is the first time a Scot has been awarded the distinguished honour.
Previously described as the last great unclimbed route of the Himalayas, the two climbers successfully completed the Mazeno Ridge on the mountain Nanga Parbat.
Their expedition took them on a dangerous and gruelling trek over 13km consistently above 7000m in altitude.
Allan and Allen were honoured during a three-day event held in Chamonix in France and in Courmayeur in Italy.
Dave Thomson says: 'I dabble with mountain walking and cannot imagine the level of physical and emotional determination involved in such an undertaking.
'I would welcome the opportunity to personally congratulate both Sandy and Rick, and wish them nothing but the best in their future climbing endeavours.'

Chess grandmaster Andor Lilienthal has died in Budapest at the age of 99.
The Hungarian Chess Federation said Lilienthal, who was the oldest living grandmaster—a title awarded to the world's top players by the International Chess Federation—died Saturday following a long illness.
Lilienthal, the son of Hungarian Jewish parents, competed against many of the world's leading chess players. In 1950 he was included on the International Chess Federation's first list of grandmasters.
Born in Moscow, Lilienthal moved to Budapest as a child before returning to Moscow in 1935 and becoming a Soviet citizen. He moved back to Budapest in 1976.

How to Incorporate Social Media into Your Job Search Strategy
July 2009
You may have heard people use terms like web 2.0, tweets, blog and social networking but have no idea what they mean or how to incorporate them into your job search strategy. They are words loosely used to describe a variety of activities that integrate technology and social interaction.
Social media is an umbrella term that defines many activities and allows people to utilize technology to connect online, form relationships and share information.
It is becoming increasingly more important to incorporate social media into your job search strategy. Many recruiters utilize a variety of social media technologies to find top candidates, so as a job seeker, you need to insert yourself into those arenas so that recruiters can find you more easily.
How can you utilize social media for your job search?
With so many social media platforms out there, you might be wondering which one is right for you. Here are some of the most popular social media outlets and how you can utilize them for your job search:
Twitter is one of the easiest to participate in and, in some ways it opens doors to industry leaders in a way unlike most other social networking tools. Did you know that CEO's of major corporations use Twitter? Last fall, BusinessWeek ran an article about Tweets from Chiefs. You can have open conversations with the experts and build your network and personal brand with ease.
First, you have to sign up for a Twitter account and create your micro-bio (140 word profile). Next, import and search all of your professional friends, acquaintances and family and start to "follow" them on Twitter. When you follow someone on Twitter, you are able to see all of their "tweets", also known as posts. Pay attention as you are reading your Google alerts and industry blogs to figure out which experts in your industry are using Twitter and follow them as well. When you follow people many times they follow you back.
Pay attention to the conversations that are happening around you on Twitter and start to get involved. "Tweet" (reply to) posts when you have something interesting to contribute to the conversation. Add your own insightful observations, links and content about your area of interest or focus. Do this every day and watch how your network will grow and you will begin to have real dialogue with industry experts that you would have never had access to before.
LinkedIn is the best known and most utilized professional networking site. You can develop an online profile of your professional experience and connect with people in your network. The networking aspect is vital to success on LinkedIn. Make sure you connect with as many people that are in your network as possible. You will then have a visual representation of your network and their network. You can also join professional and industry groups to expand your networking capabilities. Utilize the LinkedIn search functions and check job postings as well.
If you want to create a personal résumé online, VisualCV is the site to visit. It provides you with a virtual résumé, networking opportunities and a database of available job openings. VisualCV offers you the ability to integrate your résumés with social media sites such as LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter. Your virtual résumé can include multimedia elements such as images, video and audio.
Another service that enables you to post a résumé quickly online is ResumeBucket. You can create virtual résumés and are provided with unique URLs to promote your résumés. ResumeBucket offers you the ease of editing, the power of sharing, and convenient access to your résumé from anywhere on the planet.
Facebook is a great tool to network and reconnect with old friends, family and co-workers. There are two main ways of acquiring a job through Facebook. First, you can use your network. You can join groups of interest and participate in their online conversations or participate in any events they may have. You can find groups on most any company, industry or topic. You can also network directly with your Facebook friends. Let them know you are job hunting and what you are looking to do.
You can also look for a new job through Facebook Marketplace, which lists job openings or other opportunities in your network. When searching for jobs, you'll be able to see who listed the posting and then message them to learn more about the opportunity.
InsideJob is a tool that says it replicates the best features of sites such as LinkedIn for use on Facebook. It allows you to search for and contact other Facebook users based on where they interviewed, worked, or are currently working. You can get the inside scoop on your prospective employer before you interview with them. Hiring managers can use InsideJob to find the right people to hire.
InsideJob users can:
• Get the inside scoop on their prospective employer before the interview
• Search for and post jobs
• Network with people in similar fields
• Find the right people to hire as service providers.
If you are looking for a job with a smaller company in your local market, Craigslist is a perfect place to look. Many small and medium sized companies who can not afford the cost of posting on the large job sites such as Monster or Career Builder will utilize Craigslist for job postings. Just go to the jobs section and type in the appropriate keyword(s). You can also post your resume under their resume section.
Indeed / SimplyHired
Indeed and SimplyHired are job search aggregators. They search the web and collect job postings from a wide variety of other sites (including corporations and job boards) and then aggregate them into one database so that job seekers can search them. You will only find job postings in their database which will save you time when looking for work. Many times you will find jobs from the major career sites (i.e. Monster, CareerBuilder, etc.) are listed in your search results.
JibberJobber is complementary to social networks and is a personal relationship manager for your career. Just as a salesperson would use a technology to keep track of their customers, like Salesforce.com or Goldmine, JibberJobber helps keep track of your job search, networking contacts and other career management information.
JibberJobber is not a social network, but it can help manage and organize the information you collect from the social networks. In LinkedIn you can connect with others but you can't rank the relationship, log notes about your relationship, create action items or tie them to companies. JibberJobber allows you to do this privately. And it allows you to import contacts from other places, like CardScan, Outlook, Gmail, etc.
No matter what social media outlets you decide to utilize, you need to have a thought out, consistent presence across all platforms. It is important to be aware of your personal brand and how you develop it online. Things you post on one social media site may not be appropriate for another. Be mindful of what you say and who your audience is while using social media. Next month I will elaborate more on social media etiquette and will discuss more specific 'dos and don'ts' of how to properly use social media to aid in your job search strategies.
I encourage you to send me any questions you have regarding social media or specific topics you'd like me to address and I will cover them in next month's column. Also, if you'd like to share personal experiences you've had using social media to network and search for jobs, please send them to me at firstname.lastname@example.com, as well.

2002 Carroll Shelby Day - Cruising For Carroll
SCAT's Texas 289 Celebrates Carroll Shelby Day
Yeah, it was wet-wet as a monsoon season, but so what? Didn't Carroll Shelby himself show up? And didn't the rains abate for six hours, long enough to experience Carroll Shelby Day, as proclaimed this 19th day of October, 2002, by the 91-year-old mayor of Pittsburg, Texas?
And then, returning to the microphone, Shelby thanked his friends for showing up, adding, "And I want to thank God for allowing the rain to let up."
What started as the Texas 289, hosted by Shelby Cobra Association of Texas (SCAT), turned into a down-home tribute to the man-much more historic than a cruise to Shelby's digs in East Texas. Bill Neale, the famous automotive artist and lifelong friend of Shelby, explained, "Five or six years ago, about 14 cars drove down. It turned out Shelby wanted to surprise everybody, and he barbecued a wild hog. But that was a totally unplanned, drop-in visit. This one is more structured."
Structure came from SCAT, says Phylis Crouch, SCAT secretary. "There aren't many clubs that have the opportunity for this sort of thing. With us being Shelby's home club, we felt we should take advantage and offer something you don't get to do at the other events across the country."
Phylis owns a "poor man's Shelby"-a '68 California Special. Mustangs and Shelby Mustangs dominated the 81 entries, all of which were pre-'75. Carroll himself drove to the ceremonies in downtown Pittsburg in a red '66 GT350.
"What amazes me is the show-car people are driving their cars in this rain," I overheard one man say when we arrived in the town square. They'd braved 130 miles in the wet stuff. Minutes earlier, just as the parade began, the rain shut off like a faucet.
As I crowded closer for pictures, I overheard Carroll saying, "I'm not that religious . . . I am religious, but not to the point that I think I can control the rain."
Then his wife, Cleo, of English descent, interjected: "That's not true. He does think he can do that."
Laughs followed and Shelby joked, "That's bull. I got her over here from England, and sometimes I think it's too bad I didn't buy her a round-trip ticket."
More laughs followed, and I then got in a question: "Carroll, is this a special event since it takes place here?"
"Sure," he said. "When they put on something special like this at home, it is very special."
"Is it hard to convince the home folks who you are?" I asked.
"I have a deal with the woman at the newspaper to never mention my name," Carroll revealed, "but the club put this on, so they have to. All I'm interested in is my cows and my little horses and my goats."
Shelby obviously likes his anonymity here. We asked the city manager, Ned Muse, if people in Pittsburg and nearby Leesburg know him or talk much about him. "A little bit," Ned said, "particularly the baby boomers. The old folks remember him as a kid, and a lot of the younger people just know him as a legend."

The Battle Going On Inside
Antioxidants vs. free radicals.
You hear it all the time: TV commercials and advertisements promote them and food-packaging labels claim to have them. They're antioxidant, the greatest enemy to free radicals.
While antioxidants and free radicals are buzzwords these days, just what are they and what role do they play in your health?
Read on to find out what the hype is all about. (more…)
Not What the Doctor Ordered
The ugly truth behind pain pills addiction.
Abuse and addiction to prescription drugs is probably more common than you think. These medications have been around for thousands of years, and unfortunately, they've been misused just as long.
One of the main reasons people visit a doctor is for pain relief, and as many physicians' first line of attack for pain is medication, accessing the drugs can be a cinch. As a result, such abuse is becoming increasingly common-especially among young people.
While not all pain-pill abuse is equal, it's all dangerous. Keep reading to learn the difference between drug abuse, dependence, and addiction; what causes a person to abuse painkiller; signs and symptoms of this type of drug abuse; associated consequences; and hope for prescription pill addicts.
Jen Gaum Bobker, in front, exercises, while Adrienne Morrison instructs Heather Perrin, at the Gansevoort Park Avenue hotel's Exhale Spa.
WHEN I learned I was pregnant with my daughter more than four years ago, I wondered if I could safely keep up with my daily exercise routine. I mistakenly thought my workouts would have to be drastically limited. Now that I'm expecting again, I know better: After receiving a doctor's consent, pregnant women have plenty of ways to stay fit, particularly in New York City.
For starters there are classes for pregnant women at many yoga studios; swimming sessions through AquaMom; and toning-and-cardio workouts in Central Park with Strollercize. But moms-to-be don't need to stick with special prenatal programs.
Erica Ziel, a California-based personal trainer and the creator of Knocked-Up Fitness DVDs, said that only sports like tennis, skiing, basketball and kickboxing should be avoided because of the quick, jarring movements involved and the risk of being hit. Running and using a stationary bike or an elliptical machine are considered safer ways to work out the heart and lungs. (more…)
The Air You Breathe
How the quality of the air you're inhaling affects your exercise routine.
A key component of a healthy lifestyle is regular aerobic exercise. But when exercise is combined with air pollution, it can actually be doing more harm than good to your body. Over time, exposure to air pollutants from car and factory emissions can cause a variety of health problems. As a result, athletes are increasingly concerned about over-exposure to the increasing amounts of smog in their communities.
And for good reason. (more…)
Pale Is Beautiful
Understanding and avoiding sun damage.
While the rate of many types of cancer is declining, the risk for developing skin cancer is increasing at an alarming rate.
Today's young adults are six times more likely to develop skin cancer than adults 40 years ago. The most dramatic increase is seen in young women in their 20s and 30s. What's the reason behind this increase? It seems to be growing popularity of activities such as sun-tanning and tanning beds. While the media may say tanned skin is beautiful, the consequences of getting and maintaining tanned skin can be deadly.
Maybe it's time to return to the Victorian days when pale skin was considered beautiful. Or maybe it's time for you to understand the risks associated with excessive sun exposure and to do something about it melanoma – the most dangerous form of skin cancer and the leading cause of skin-disease-related death when.
Who's At Risk?
Anyone who soaks up the sun can wind up with skin cancer, but the following risk factors make you more likely to get melanoma:
- being exposed frequently to strong sunlight
- being fair skinned or having red or blonde hair or green or blue eyes
- living in a sunny area of the country
- using tanning beds
- having suffered at least one blistering sunburn as a child
- having a family member who had melanoma
- having multiple birthmarks
- coming in close contact with carcinogenic chemicals such as coal tar, creosote, or arsenic
- having a weak immune system from medication or disease (more…)
Separating Fat from Fiction
Understanding the difference between saturated, unsaturated, trans, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fats.
When looking at a food label, one of the first things you may look at is the amount of fat. Most foods contain some amount of fat and some even contain several kinds of fat. What are the differences in the fats listed and are all fats bad for you? Are there fats that are okay to eat in moderation? How much fat should you consume each day? Big questions that require big answers.
First, the basics.
Dietary fat is found in plant- and animal-based foods. Fat is a macronutrient, along with carbohydrates and protein, that gives your body the energy it needs to function. Therefore, while you may run from all things fat, some fat is essential for good health. In fact, many vitamins require fat in order to dissolve and give you nourishment.
However, too much fat can lead to an array of health problems, such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity, and cancer. Because of these risks, it is important to make sure you eat healthy fats and avoid unhealthy fats. Now to figure out the difference. (more…)
Vendors offer organically grown produce at the Union Square farmers market in New York City.
Renate Raymond has encountered her fair share of organic food snobs, but a recent trip to a Seattle market left her feeling like she'd stumbled onto the set of "Portlandia."
"I stopped at a market to get a fruit platter for a movie night with friends but I couldn't find one so I asked the produce guy," says the 40-year-old arts administrator from Seattle. "And he was like, 'If you want fruit platters, go to Safeway. We're organic.' I finally bought a small cake and some strawberries and then at the check stand, the guy was like 'You didn't bring your own bag? I need to charge you if you didn't bring your own bag.' It was like a 'Portlandia skit.' They were so snotty and arrogant."
In general, the researchers said there is very little quality research on the topic of so-called cryotherapy, despite the treatment's popularity to prevent or reduce muscle soreness days after exercising.
"It's a typical intervention in sports medicine in the elite arena and the professional arena and it gradually started to filter down," said Chris Bleakley, the study's lead author and a researcher at the University of Ulster in Northern Ireland.
Bleakley and his colleagues collected existing data on 366 people from 17 studies for their report in the Cochrane Library, a publication of the Cochrane Collaboration, an international organization that evaluates medical research.
The researchers found that most of the studies on this topic only looked at a handful of athletes and were poorly designed. The lack of data meant they were only able to draw a significant conclusion from 14 studies that compared cold-water baths to doing nothing or just resting.
In the studies, people were asked to get into a cold-water bath that was about 50 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit after exercising. They stayed in the bath from anywhere between five and 24 minutes.
Overall, the baths lessened the soreness the athletes experienced over the next four days between 15 percent and 20 percent, according to Bleakley.
But he told Reuters Health that it's important for people to know that the improvement was only in soreness. It does not mean the muscle was any stronger.
"It's purely a subjective feeling of less soreness," he said.
And even though the studies, collectively, were able to report some improvement, they were not able to come up with a standard method of treatment.
"If you're looking for the single prescription, it's not available yet. And frankly it's going to be different under different situations," said Dr. Thomas Best, co-director of Ohio State University Sports Medicine, who was not involved in the research.
Best told Reuters Health that the new report does not answer how often an athlete should do the treatment, how long they should stay in the cold water or how long they should wait after they finish exercising.
He added that the average athlete should be careful before they think the results apply to them. (more…)
Happy Saint Patrick's Day!
Enjoy the luck of the Irish today when you're celebrating in your Saint Patricks Day finest!
Please remember that no matter what oversized shamrock lenses you may be looking through, drinking responsibly is the only real way to have fun – and to avoid potential diet downfalls and hangovers that prevent you from doing anything next week. We simply wish you the best memories of shared laughs with your friends, even under the pretence of large amounts of green alcohol (because who honestly knows the story of Saint Patrick? Did you know he wasn't even Irish? That's just silly.)
Have a happy and safe Saint Patrick's Day weekend everyone!
Cheers! From The Trainer Guy team!
