CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa - Zombies took over the streets of Usher's Ferry Historic Village, Thursday. A group of kids had to stop them from escaping and running wild in Cedar Rapids.
The zombie apocalypse was all a part of a spring break camp for kids.
"It's not necessarily the zombie camp that's important," Chloe Streif, a volunteer that played one of the zombies said. "It's the survival skills through the camp. They learn how to build a fire, how to build a shelter, find clean water."
The kids worked in a team to fight the zombies and used a special white powder called Z-Cure to stop them.
One camper said that seeing a real life zombie is a little scary at first.
"For the first time you're probably going to be scared out of your wits," Brodi Nelson, a nine-year-old camper said. "I cried the first time I saw a zombie."
But the kids rallied together and eventually won their zombie battle.
Organizers say they plan to hold the camp again in the summer.

United States Coast Guard
Miami, Florida
Captain Melissa Bert became the Coast Guard Seventh District Chief of Staff in June 2014. Just prior, she served as the Chief of the Coast Guard's Maritime and International Law Division, where her office supported International Maritime Organization engagement and provided legal advice to the Operations Directorate on the Coast Guard's maritime safety, security and stewardship missions – including drug and migrant interdiction, homeland security, search and rescue, pollution response, port and vessel safety and security, Outer Continental Shelf regulation, fisheries law enforcement, counter-terrorism and piracy initiatives, Arctic stewardship, and environmental protection.
Captain Bert's Coast Guard career has encompassed operational and legal tours. She served aboard two cutters, including as Executive Officer of the Cutter Red Birch in Baltimore, Maryland.

The degree audit report is an important advising tool that specifically tracks progress to completion of degree requirements. The degree audit report combines the official academic record with the student's declared academic program to identify those program requirements that are completed and those program requirements that are unfulfilled. Each undergraduate degree candidate (Baccalaureate or Associate) must have access to a current copy of that student's degree audit report each semester the candidate is enrolled.

|Are you using public funds in your campaign?
|Do you have any sort of a criminal record or any outstanding civil judgments? Please be specific.
|What is the best piece of political advice you ever received?
|The best piece of advice I have received was neither spoken, nor overtly political. When I was a little girl my father and I were driving along Route 66 to my grandmother�s house in Texas. We had stopped for breakfast and continued on our way. To help me learn some math skills, my father encouraged me to look at the bill and do the calculations. We were about twenty miles down the road, when I discovered that the waitress made an error in our favor. I told my father and he turned the car around. We went back to the restaurant and returned the money. The waitress was relieved because she would have been forced to pay the difference from her own pocket. Among the many lessons that incident taught me, I learned to value �doing the right thing,� even when it was inconvenient or difficult. I try hard to adhere to that standard in my personal and political life.
|What character trait best serves a public official?
|The ability to work with others and reach mutual goals.
|What character flaw most harms a public official?
|Lack of integrity
|What is your favorite book (besides a spiritual text)?
|To Kill a Mockingbird. I read it in high school and I wanted to grow up and be like Atticus Finch.
|What is your favorite place in Arizona?
|I read Going Back to Bisbee by Richard Shelton several years before moving to Arizona. During my first visit to Bisbee we stayed at the Copper Queen Hotel, took the mine tour, and explored the galleries and shops. I am trained as a historian and worked in the mining industry, so I love to visit historic mining communities. The juxtaposition of Bisbee�s turbulent past and colorful present continues to intrigue me.
|Which Arizona political figure past or present do you most admire and why?
|Sandra Day O�Connor. From her childhood experiences, growing up on the Lazy B Ranch in southeastern Arizona, Justice O'Connor absorbed the �classic Western values:� courage, dignity, a sense of responsibility for others, integrity, intelligence, and a willingness to work hard. During the rest of her life, Sandra Day O�Connor has continued to demonstrate those traits. Even when I disagreed with her, I was proud of the example she set. During her later years on the Supreme Court, Justice O�Connor was often the �swing vote,� demonstrating a tolerance and pragmatism that I admired.
|Has state government been spending too much money, the right amount, or not enough? Specifically, how would you change the state's approach to spending?
|As Arizona's needs become more complex, we will probably need to spend more money. No one really likes to see the state spend more money, but there are services that are needed. In some areas, education, energy, and sustainable development, the state must make an investment. When that investment begins to pay dividends, it should lower costs for prisons and social services.
|Name one state agency or program you believe gets too much money. Why?
|My experience with state agencies has been positive. I have worked with several agencies, including the Secretary of State, the Clean Elections Commission, the Legislature, the State Library, the Arizona Historical Society, the U of A, NAU, the Department of Minerals, and ADOT. Nationally, Departments of Motor Vehicles generate complaints about inefficiency and long lines. In contrast to that trend, I have observed how ADOT transactions have been streamlined, with many services available online. I have not encountered an agency that seemed to be over-funded. Instead, I have seen many state employees working hard to give good public service and stretch the dollars they have.
|Name one state agency or program you believe gets too little money. Why?
|I would like to see the state spend more money on education, lowering class size, raising teachers� salaries, promoting math, science and global studies, and expanding technology in the classroom.
|If you favor further state tax cuts, name one tax that should be cut and why.
|I favor tax reform with targeted tax cuts. These cuts should encourage research and development, alternative fuel production and use, and transportation development investments. They should favor companies that employ Arizonans. Using targeted tax cuts will help to stimulate the economy in Arizona.
|If you oppose further tax cuts, name one strategy you would pursue to boost the state's economy.
|See above.
|Are there any circumstances under which you would favor a tax increase to offset future state budget deficits?
|Yes, I do not know exactly what those circumstances would be. It is not wise to make a promise that may need adjustment under different circumstances.
|Should Arizona take the lead in fighting global warming even if the federal government doesn't? If so, how?
|There are benefits and detriments to Arizona taking the lead on fighting global warming. Ideally the federal government should accept this responsibility. Having a uniform, interstate, plan will help industry comply with the new regulations. Their cooperation is essential to the program�s success.
On the other hand, Arizona and the West have unique arid environments that may need special treatment. For example a regulation that is applicable to managing dust in a coal mine in Appalachia may not be appropriate in reclaiming mined lands on the Hopi Reservation. A balanced approach is needed.
|What one state action do you think would work best to combat the problem of illegal immigration. Why?
|Immigration reform is clearly a matter that needs to be resolved by the federal government because it concerns activities of citizens of another country. Both Presidential candidates have made commitments to work on this issue. If no legislation is passed, the states will look for creative ways to help resolve the problem. Probably the best approach would be to have a model guest worker program. It is vital that it would include worker protections.
|If you could only introduce one bill in the coming legislative session, what would it be?
|There will be many changes in 2008 under a new administration. That will define many of the priorities for the next session. A bill that I would like to introduce would be one to improve math and science education. It would create a task force to analyze and recommend options. Currently there are many programs and approaches throughout the state, in various institutions and organizations. While everyone agrees that enhancing math, science, and technology education is a laudable goal; they hold differing opinions on how it should be done. It will be crucial to bring all the stakeholders to the table.
|Name one unsuccessful bill during the 2008 legislative session that you believe should have become law.
|HB 2394, which would have established a task force to examine class size reduction.
|Should the Legislature act to reduce the influence of state and federal courts over state government? If so, how?
|No. I have great faith in the system of checks and balances created in the Constitution. Although I do not always like the results, I appreciate the moderating influence.
|What, if anything, should the Legislature do to improve health care for its citizens?
|For years we have tried to ignore the issue of health care, hoping that the private sector would be able to provide a solution. Instead we find ourselves mired in a situation that is inefficient and demonstrates a lack of compassion. On the other hand, we have the most modern, technologically advanced health care services in the world. Solving the problem will take systemic reform. I hope that a new administration will have the courage to tackle this problem and to mediate amongst the entrenched interests.
If the federal government does not accept this responsibility, it will be incumbent upon the state of Arizona to do this. Any program that we design should have a priority for helping the neediest among us: the young, the elderly, and the disabled.
|Do you support using state funds for bioscience research?
|I support using state funds for bioscience research at our state
|Do you support the use of school vouchers? Why or why not?
|I do not support the use of school vouchers for private schools. I believe in using public money to support public schools. The quality of our public schools will improve when we are fully invested in them. We undermine that quality by diverting resources from the public schools.
|Should the AIMS test continue to be required for graduation? Should it be toughened?
|I support high academic standards in education. I helped to write the Social Standards in New Mexico and worked extensively with the National Science Standards on another project. I question whether a high-stakes, single-shot test accurately measures student mastery of the standards. (I do realize that the test can be repeated.) I also question the value of a test that only measures Arizona students and schools against one another. Unlike the AP tests, it provides no national rankings that would objectively demonstrate mastery of the subject.
At the same time we need to ensure accountability in the classroom. We need to re-examine the value of the AIMS test. When we do that, we must listen to the input of classroom teachers.
|Would spending more money on public schools increase the quality of education in Arizona? Why or why not?
|We must increase spending on education to improve education. I have spent many hours in classrooms and I know that smaller class size will make a big difference. Studies show that teacher quality directly impacts student learning. We must invest in our teachers through more training and higher salaries. In business, if you want to improve a product or service you invest in it. We cannot expect first-rate performance if we offer support that is the third lowest in the nation.

ANCIENT Egyptians pioneered the art of synthetic "wet" chemistry up to 4000 years ago, say forensic chemists at the Research Laboratory for the Museums of France.
Philippe Walter and his colleagues in Paris discovered that Egyptian cosmetic powders held by the Louvre contained ingredients which were so rare they could only have been synthesised (
Walter and his colleagues attempted to mimic the chemistry involved, using ancient chemical recipes. These included one penned by the 1st-century Roman scribe Pliny the Elder. The process shows that the Egyptians had mastered some sophisticated chemical techniques, according to the researchers. "Wet chemistry was used as long ago as 2000 BC," says Walter.

DivX partners with Google Video, Pioneer

Google to showcase video-on-demand serviceJanuary 5, 2006
The DivX video-codec video compression technology offers DVD quality at 10 times the compression of traditional MPEG2 files, enabling a full-length film to fit on one CD or eight films to fit on one DVD.
DivX also announced that Pioneer Electronics will introduce a new line of DivX-certified DVD players and recorders in the U.S. and JVC will introduce a new line of DivX Ultra-certified in-car DVD receivers in North America.
Apple's new crop
More than 50 million DivX-certified devices are on the market worldwide, San Diego-based DivX said.
In addition, DivX said Zoran's Vaddis processors are DivX certified and ADS Tech's DVD Xpress DX2 audio/video-capture device supports DivX digital video technology.
Further strengthening its ties to Hollywood, DivX announced that Christopher McGurk, former Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer chief operating officer, has joined the DivX board of directors.
DivX does for video what the popular MP3 audio standard does for music, allowing people to create and play copy-protected video that's small enough to be easily distributed over the Internet and played on a variety of devices. The company's latest DivX 6.0 technology is designed for storing high-definition personal movies and allows distribution of commercial movie releases.
"First-run movies still have not made it to the digital realm," DivX Chief Operating Officer Kevin Hell said in an interview with CNET News.com. "The timing is hard to predict. It's based on buzz and the perceived market-opportunity and sometimes based on politics."

- What???
- DIVX was/is goood. MPEG2 has better "screen size:file size" ratio. Sure you can fit an entire movie onto a cd-r. But, the quality would be equivalent to MPEG4.
I'm not saying that DIVX is bad for movies. With the abundance of portable video units, iPods and many of other manufacturers, now would be a great time for them to show their full potential. DIVX is a great option for encoding movies to have on portable units as well as the inevitable car-movie entertainment system.
I hope they have a great comeback plan.

- Google > DivX > Claria/Gator!!!
- Yes, DivX is popular, but in order to make DIVX movies you need a program such as DivX Pro, which, last time I checked, is still bundled "free" (there is no such thing as free anymore) with Claria's Adware Gator.
So, basically, all of these companies such as Google and Pioneer are helping spread a format who is supported by an adware app, and thus they are spreading the adware with their dollars.
I don't trust any company that distributes adware, nor do I trust their partners. Perhaps I should remove Google as my homepage? I never thought I'd see the day...

- DivX works, WMVs don't
- Perhaps the reason that Google is partnering with DivX is because their DRM works while Microsoft's doesn't. I have successfully rented and downloaded DivX movies and played them on my DivX capable DVD player on my HD set. I've yet to get a DRM'd WMV file working on it even though it is supposed to work. As for quality I have successfully encoded HD content much faster and better looking than with WMV 10. Good for the underdog!

Baltimore's Urban Design and Architecture Review Panel reviewed storefront plans on Thursday showing an entrance with a redwood and steel façade above glass doors, a design the store's architects said was inspired by a ship's hull.
Some design panel members applauded the ideas, while others said the design was not in keeping with other facades in the area. Some members were also concerned about the use of vertical wooden panels in a city that struggles with vacant and boarded-up houses.

Anne Hathaway dumps bad beau, abandons good dog?
"Get Smart" star Anne Hathaway wised up in time to dump her Italian boyfriend, Raffaello Follieri, before he was arrested on fraud charges.
But the New York Post is quoting an FOF (friend of Follieri) asking if Anne could please come and pick up her 2-year-old chocolate Lab, Esmeralda.
Apparently, the poor pooch is being cared for by Follieri's mother, Anna, who's in the U.S. from Italy for cancer treatment and is living in his $40,000-a-month Trump Tower penthouse.
Apparently, Follieri, unable to make bail, can't even afford a dog walker. And his mom is not well enough to walk or care for the Lab. Can you imagine that Lab going crazy being cooped up in an apartment?
The source said, "I feel bad for the dog. She's a beautiful, sweet dog who probably greeted the FBI agents with her tail wagging."
Nice way to treat a dog who helped her get a plum role in a film!
The actress, 24, told People that the night before her second audition for "Becoming Jane, "My dog decided to eat the hotel slipper, so she was up the whole night vomiting. I slept maybe an hour." She'd had to beg for the audition in the first place because of her squeaky clean, perky image.
"When I arrived at the interview, I was tired and wasn't in a very good mood. I guess Julian (director Julian Jarrold) realized that I wasn't the bright, happy, smiley, untroubled girl from 'The Princess Diaries.' He offered me the role after that."
C'mon, Anne. Pick up your pooch! Be a good dog mommy.
Grrr. All those in favor, leave your comments here!

The recent acquisition of Shelley Duncan gives the Rays a bit more reliability in their left-field platoon paired with Sam Fuld. Duncan is a known quantity with a career .755 OPS against left-handed starters. Duncan can also provide the same flexibility with lefty-swinging James Loney at first base. Duncan blunts a bit of the question mark of if Brandon Guyer will ever hit major league pitching. But while Fuld provides excellent range in the outfield with somewhat questionable offensive capabilities, Duncan is more stodgy in the outfield. Will such a combination test the Rays and tempt them to see if Wil Myers can make the jump? Myers, of course, is the highly-rated prospect gained from the Royals in the James Shields trade. While Royals fans like the idea of improving the rotation, there were collective groans about losing Myers, the most fascinating hitter in the Royals' organization. And rightly so. Myers is only 22 years old but after Trout and Harper last year, the ...

The black Olympus SP-720UZ Digital Camera is a point-and-shoot with a CMOS image sensor that has a 14MP resolution. It's equipped with a 3.0", 460K-pixel LCD monitor. The 26x optical zoom lens has an effective focal length of 4.66-121.2mm, equivalent to 26-676mm in 35mm format. This enables you to capture everything from wide-angle to super-telephoto shots.
Capture Full HD 1080p video with stereo sound. The camera utilizes Auto Tracking and Face Detect autofocus modes, to track moving subjects and automatically detect up to 8 faces, respectively. Spot AF is also available. HDR backlight correction, enabled by the CMOS sensor, lets you shoot pictures with optimum gradations. The sensor also allows for easy high-speed continuous shooting.
The iAUTO function automatically selects the best camera mode based on your subject, letting you hand over all the calculation to the camera and just focus on getting the shot you want. With 3D Photo mode, you can capture everything from everyday scenes to dynamic scenery in three dimensions. Then, view the images on a 3D-compatible TV or computer.
- 26-676mm (35mm Equiv) Lens
- Lens focal length of 4.66-121.2mm is equivalent to 26-676mm in 35mm format, covering wide-angle to super-telephoto range. The 26x optical zoom can be combined with the camera's 4x digital zoom to achieve 104x zoom
- The camera combines 2 types of image stabilization to compensate for camera shake and ensure clear, blur-free shots throughout the zoom range: CMOS sensor shift-type, which uses digital SLR algorithms, and high-sensitivity shooting (digital type)
- Full HD 1080 Movie Recording
- Capture videos in full high-definition 1920 x 1080p resolution. H.264 movie compression allows you to shoot for longer periods of time. Thanks to the dedicated movie button, starting and stopping movies is easy with a single touch. The Linear PCM audio format provides stereo sound to accompany your video. You can also shoot photos in 720p or VGA resolution
- Magic Filter
- Dramatic and Random Tile options have been added to the popular Magic Filter mode, bringing the total number of different options to 12. The other choices include Pop, Pinhole, Fisheye, Sketch, Wedding, Rock, Watercolor, Crystal, Miniature, and Mirror, all of which can be used when shooting movies, with the exception of Crystal. The resolution for still images is 5MP and lower when using the following Magic Filters: Sketch, Wedding, Watercolor, and Crystal. Some filters are also available for use when shooting movies
- Beauty Mode Makeup Function
- The Makeup function has been added to Beauty mode, allowing you to apply full makeup to subjects' faces post-capture. This function offers a full range of 17 different effects, divided into four different themes: Makeup, Eye Effects, Performance, and Spa. The Makeup menu screen is packed with cosmetic choices like Cheeks, Eye Shadow, and False Eyelashes, so that you can easily choose and apply effects. In the Eye Effect menu, you can not only change eye color, but make eyes appear larger, as well. In the Spa menu, you can make faces appear smaller, and add effects such as Lift-up to modify their appearance. The resolution for still images is 5MP and lower for corrected images.
- High-Speed Continuous Shooting
- Shoot at up to 5fps at the full 14MP resolution. Other options include 2-fps shooting at the same 14MP and 10- or 30-fps shooting at 5MP
- 3D Photo Shooting
- Capture everything from everyday scenes to dynamic scenery in 3D. Afterwards, you can view the images on a 3D-compatible TV or computer. By simply selecting 3D Photo from the shooting mode, pressing the shutter button and sliding the camera horizontally, you can produce a three-dimensional photo. Both the 3D data (MPO format) and the JPEG data are saved. 3D Photo can be used in Auto mode or Manual mode. In Auto, after the first shot is complete, the second shot will automatically be taken once the camera is moved to match the target. In Manual, after the first shot is complete, you can take the second shot after matching the semi-transparent layers. To play back, just select 3D Photo or regular photo, and then images will be viewable on your compatible device. The 3D Photo mode is available for stationary subjects only, and flash, zoom, face detection, Auto Tracking AF, and timer are not available when using it.

- Auto Shutter
- Capture all your pet's cute expressions. The camera will automatically shoot when a pet faces it head-on. (Can detect one pet)
- Shadow Adjustment Technology
- SAT gives you more natural-looking images similar to what you see with your unaided eye. To compensate for extreme contrast where shadow areas lack visible details due to backlight and similar situations, it adjusts the contrast of these areas to the same level as seen by the naked eye
- SD/SDHC/SDXC and Eye-Fi Memory Card Support
- Has an SD/SDHC/SDXC slot for optional memory cards. Also compatible with optional Eye-Fi cards, which are SDHC cards containing an internal wireless LAN. Images can be wirelessly uploaded to picture services, online photo albums, and computers

Images added to a list on a computer can be searched with a single touch and easily uploaded. Preinstall the included software, OLYMPUS Viewer2, on a computer in order to enable SNS Upload
- Other Features
- Face and Back Control detects subjects' faces, adjusts the focus and optimizes the exposure. Scene Mode allows for shooting not only standard scenes, but also clear, detailed images in challenging conditions. In-camera Panorama Merge lets you easily shoot panoramic images in different directions--up, down, left, or right--simply by moving the camera as directed. AF Illuminator lends focus assistance in dark situations. HDMI Output Control enables control of the camera, such as selecting and switching images, with a TV remote control.

Child abuse charge dismissed against Tempe mother in 'Baby Gabriel' case
PHOENIX - A child abuse charge has been dismissed against the jailed mother of an Arizona boy missing since December 2009.
Maricopa County Superior Court officials said Friday that a judge granted the prosecution's motion to dismiss that charge against Elizabeth Johnson.
The 26-year-old Tempe woman is scheduled to be tried in September on charges of kidnapping and conspiracy to commit custodial interference.
Johnson has been jailed without bond since January 2010. She previously was deemed mentally unfit to stand trial, but has since been restored to competency.
Johnson first said she smothered her 8-month-old son Gabriel and put him in the trash. She later recanted and said she gave the baby to a couple in San Antonio, Texas.
Gabriel has never been found, and police don't know whether he is alive.

Big Chester remains an icon to the hopeful
RELATED STORY: Duluth Olympians' passion stays home at Chester Bowl
By ASHLEE HARTWIG
DCN Correspondent
Surrounded by the changing fall colors and listening to the potato chip crunch of leaves underfoot, Jim Denney Sr. gazes up the hill at the ski jump known as Big Chester. Big Chester once stood out on this hillside like a lighthouse on the coast, but now trees have grown all around it to shroud its appearance.
'ÄúIt makes me feel bad to see the jump in this condition,'Ä? said Denney.
Chester Bowl was appropriately nicknamed the Ski Jumping Capitol of the United States, stated a 1955 issue of the Duluth Sunday News Tribune. Big Chester stood as the icon of the area.
'ÄúBefore there was Spirit Mountain, Chester Bowl was it,'Ä? Denney said. 'ÄúDuluthians would point out the jumps to newcomers before they pointed out anything else.'Ä?
The jumps at Chester Bowl hold a special place in Denney's heart. When he was a little boy, he and his dad would walk the short distance from his house to Chester Park whenever they could. Together, they'd watch the ski jumping tournaments.
'ÄúBack in the 'Äò50s and 'Äò60s, skiing was king up here,'Ä? said city park manager Thom Storm.
The tradition carried on with Denney when he became a father himself. His four boys, Jim Jay, Jeffery, John, and Joel, were surrounded by the sport since they could remember.
'ÄúWhere else do you dump four boys in the middle of winter?'Ä? said Denney. 'ÄúThey couldn'Äôt get enough of Big Chester in the Chester Bowl.'Ä?
Chester Bowl turned into more than a play place for two of Denney's sons. Jim Jay is now a two-time Olympic skier and Jeffrey almost qualified for the Olympics as many times. Duluthian ski jumpers had prominently appeared in every major competition for 38 years, according to the minutes from a Duluth Ski Club meeting in 1942.
It didn't stop there. Denney's oldest son, Jim Jay, competed at Lake Placid in the 1980 Winter Olympics as well.
Big Chester stands quite differently now.
'ÄúIt'Äôs a landmark accompanied by a cell phone tower now,'Ä? Denney said. 'ÄúWhere it stands, our family used to have picnics.'Ä?
Not only is the site marred by a blinking signal tower, but, rust now covers the scaffolding. Fading sunlight pokes through the numerous holes that line the jumps'Äô runway. The top landing no longer sits in alignment with the support base, but instead leans precariously off to one side. Even the 'ÄúNo Trespassing'Ä? signs are tinged with rust.
In the last decade, Chester Bowl has shifted from a ski jumping hot spot to downhill skiing attraction.
'ÄúWhen my kids got started with ski jumping, there was no such thing as downhill. We jumpers got that going,'Ä? Dewey said.
However, due to lack of interest in ski jumping attention turned onto downhill skiing, which eventually lead to the downfall of Big Chester. Its current condition is why the city council wishes to tear the jump down.
'ÄúNo one takes ski jumping seriously anymore,'Ä? Denney admitted. 'ÄúEverybody'Äôs busy, it'Äôs hard to get the people to come out to support the sport because they'Äôre all working two jobs or something like that.'Ä?
Even the big skiing names still living around the area are have difficulty coming together to find a way to save an icon from their past.
'ÄúThe Storms'Äô, the Hovlands, my family'Ķwe try to get together to chew the fat and make plans to fix up the Chester Bowl,'Ä? Denney said. 'ÄúUsually it ends up being my sons'Äô and I cutting the grass.'Ä?
Big Chester now stands up on the hill of Chester Bowl bearing the weight of a grand time of old upon its slope. People of all ages still climb to the top despite its base being roped off.
UMD student Alex Rugowski has found himself sitting at the top of Big Chester once or twice a month since freshman year.
'ÄúI'Äôd climb to the top of the jump with my iPod and clear my head,'Ä? said Rugowski, now a junior at UMD.
How much longer Big Chester will continue to stand there is not known, but many would notice its absence.
'ÄúDuluth would lose a piece of itself, and so would I,'Ä? said Denney.

The American Dietetic Association Foundation conducted the 2010 Family Nutrition and Physical Activity Survey nationwide to 1,193 pairs of children (ages 8 to 17 years) and their parents.
The survey revealed an increase since 2003 of children being physically active with their parents three or more days a week. This is very good in reducing the rate of child and adult obesity rates.
However the study indicated that still most of the activities families do together are sedentary activities — watching TV or movies or playing video games.
One agenda from all health experts is that physical activity is good for everyone. For children, the Academy of Pediatrics suggest 60 minutes of activity a day helps children grow strong, stay well and keep a healthy weight. There is even more evidence that suggests that moderate activity also helps children's critical thinking skills, grade point averages and standardized test scores.
While physical activity is good for children it also provides benefits to adults. Physical activity provides adults with a method to reduce excess weight but also an outlet to reduce stress.
It is suggested that adults for weight management get in 30 to 45 minutes of physical activity in most days. For those wanting to lose weight, experts suggest 60 minutes most days and to maintain weight loss 90 minutes may be needed.
Physical activity does not have to be gym related it can become a new method for families to enjoy time together. For example take a walk after dinner on selected days of the week or schedule a weekly afternoon trip to the park.
Make physical activity fun by biking, skating, playing catch, shooting hoops or playing kick ball as a family.
Even reward systems can be targeted toward activity by having a day of miniature golf, visiting a water park or going hiking.
Make 2011 the year of the active family by integrating physical activity as a part of the families' schedule.
Here are recipes for an after-activity fun day:

Fishers Police Dive Team recover SUV, body from Geist Reservoir
Coroner confirms it was Peyton Riekhof
FISHERS, Ind. - A body found submerged in Geist Reservoir on Sunday belonged to a missing Fishers teen, the Hamilton County Coroner's Office confirmed.
The Fishers Police Dive Team recovered an SUV with a body in it from Geist Reservoir on Sunday afternoon.
Authorities were notified of tire tracks near the water from a resident and started searching the water around 4:30 p.m.
At 5:30 p.m., divers found the SUV that was later confirmed to belong to missing Fishers teen Peyton Riekhof, police said.
"It appears the vehicle traveled on Tamenden Trace and through a yard and then entered the water," Officer Tom Weger with the Fishers Police Department said. "As part of the investigation, we'll be determining exactly how that happened and why the vehicle ended up in the water."
Investigators said the teen drove into her subdivision and through a home lot under construction.
Officials said the submerged SUV was only 250 feet from Riekhof's home.
Riekhof was only weeks away from starting her freshman year at University of Kansas. Her family said they don't know what happened or why.
"Say prayers for mom and dad and her brothers and sisters and for everybody that misses her tremendously. Everybody's going to miss her big smile and hugs. A beautiful girl," Riekhof's grandfather said.
Just before 7 p.m. Sunday, the Fishers Police Department canceled the Silver Alert for Peyton Riekhof.

Greatness, comes in many shapes and sizes.
Me, I like to think of greatness as a 6'1, male, blonde haired, blue eyed, self-proclaimed genius.
I suppose I got into Pixel Art manly due to video games, Street Fighter to be exact.
I've been doing pixel art for the best part of over five years now, starting small with random scenes, moving onto little men based off a template and later experimenting to make a version of The Hulk - still incomplete. Now, I simply wing it.

Aboot? I thought this was going to be something about Canada!
Antonio Cesaro's reign is actually perfect. Have him retire the U.S. Title and bring back what he considers to be a "superior championship", the European Title. Once someone beats him for the belt, then they can just keep the Euro Title for whatever reason.
Personally I think that if they brought back the Cruiserweight, or Light Heavyweight belts, then it should be held by people on all levels of the card. Like every once in a while, someone like Punk, Ziggler, Miz, Christian, Kofi, or Cody could fight over it and make it feel like a big deal.
They should honestly bring back both, as well as the Hardcore Title.
I think his idea is to elevate the belt itself by having a top star carry it around and make it look like a big deal. When The Miz held the belt last summer, he carried himself like a top star and he hyped himself up as Intercontinental Champion.
Sheamus or Randy Orton could really make the belt look important. Beating one of them for the Intercontinental Title would do more for someone's career than beating Kofi Kingston for it. I think Wade Barrett is doing a good job of making the belt important right now. Barrett has been directionless since the fall of Nexus, but he's kept fairly credible and still carries around quite a huge bit of heat from the Nexus angle despite it happening over two years ago.
This is subjective to your opinion. The US title has more depth and history behind it. If focused in the right direction, the title has a higher glass ceiling than that of the European title.
In kayfabe, The United States Championship IS equal to the IC Title, but since the end of the brand split, the U.S. Title has been bumped down to Euro title status. In 2012, The U.S. Title has been held by lower level guys while the IC belt has been held by multiple former World Champions. In fact, I think the purpose of Zack Ryder winning the title at TLC 2011 was to transition the U.S. Title down to European Title level.
Which begs me to question the fact why many would consider RVD holding the X-Division belt a travesty, yet praise this similar stand as being a good idea; it's the same idea. The idea of a Orton or Sheamus holding the IC belt would be viewed (in general mind you) as a step backwards or demotion in their career path whereas RVD holding the X title fits the characters style of wrestling. This regression would solidify the view of the belt as being in the minor leagues and people would question if Orton had suffered another drug suspension. With Sheamus, there is too much momentum, so putting the IC belt on him would seem like a halt to his push, not making the IC belt be "desired over the WHC" when the WHC and WWE belt merge. At that point, wouldn't Sheamus (in theory) want to go after the WWE belt, or is his character the type to "settle" for the belt that is, has, and always will be viewed as the "midcard" belt?
You named the best candidate for the idea with Wade Barrett because it is someone that isn't thought of as "just" in the main event. He can garner the momentum and following to use the belt as a step stool (which is exactly what the belt has always been intended to be) into the main event, much like how Miz used it to gain credibility once again. But the fact is, it doesn't matter who holds it or how many superstars you give the belt to, if it is treated as a prop, it will always be thought of as a prop - Example: Cody Rhodes run with it (not to mention the fact that taking away the WHC and giving this belt to SmackDown is a slap to anyone who competes regularly on the show. You are basically saying that the show is worth only a mid card title and anyone in the "upper level" who is featured on there is just someone they don't want to fire, but aren't a credible threat to the "real" championship.)
I'm sorry, but I don't see how it being the European belt gives the belt holder more credibility than the US belt when in all honesty, it's the person holding it and his individual reign that brings credit, or takes prestige from said belt.
I'm all for bringing back the European Championship or even the Hardcore Championship because they qualify for the Grand Slam Championship. If someone started wrestling in WWE after 2002 (like 90% of the current roster), it's currently impossible to reach that achievement.
The fact is, the bigger stars go after the WWE Championship while the people who go after the WHC are guys who are "good, but not good enough." A guy like Daniel Bryan has held the World Championship, but he's only a world champion on paper. And look at TLC. The only reason why Dolph Ziggler went over John Cena and retained the briefcase is because Cena's too good to be involved with the WHC. I just don't think it's right to have a "lower tier world title" that only exists to "test new stars" or give "thank you" title reigns to veterans. While the IC Title is lower than the WHC, the WHC is worse because it's a consolation prize.
SmackDown IS the lesser show than RAW at this point. Aside from Alberto Del Rio winning the WHC this week, nothing important ever happens on SD. Any storyline development between the main event SmackDown guys happens on RAW. If the company puts any value in a Superstar, he will be regularly appearing on RAW. Honestly, at this point I think they should officially make SmackDown the B-show, and draft all of their top stars to RAW, and draft all the low level guys to SmackDown. The IC Champ can be on both shows, but SD would be HIS show.
The United States Title has quite the respectable lineage, and that's why it should be retired. Right now WWE treats it like a lower championship. Right now the bigger stars go after the IC Title while the lower guys go after the U.S. Title. I would rather WWE create its own Television Championship, or reinstate the European Championship, instead of treating the belt that with all that rich history and held by all those legends as a lesser prize just because it came from WCW.

"You are not a person," Ubisoft wants to remind us, by way of its marketing campaign for Watch Dogs. "You are a data cluster." That's the basis behind its most recent "Digital Shadow" Facebook app, which aims to skip the hacking part and just draw as accurate a picture of your life as possible based on your Facebook information. The results, depending on how much you use Facebook, can be sort of creepy.
With Watch Dogs, Ubisoft is trying to make a near-future dystopia, where an enterprising hacker can find out anything he wants about a person based on the video game equivalent of a Google Google search. The game uses a fictionalized version of an ultra-connected Chicago to make its point, but Ubisoft wants us to know that its sci-fi scenario isn't that far-fetched. To that end, "Digital Shadow" shows us just how much we're already sharing, even outside its near-future Chicago. It starts by analyzing your friends list — guessing at your closest connections, the people who tag you the most, and perhaps most unnervingly, people who you visit on Facebook frequently who don't reciprocate your interest, as well as people it identifies as your "stalkers." It moves on from there, analyzing what you post, when you post, how it thinks you're feeling when you post things, and even guessing at your location, income and password.
I was fairly pleased with how I performed, personally — the app successfully identified my girlfriend and sister-in-law as close connections, but beyond that it had a hard time drawing much meaningful data out of my 35 Facebook posts. But it's not hard to imagine how the program could actually start getting some scary info with slightly more liberal sharing — and if the game's theoretical profiler could access my Google searches and Twitter as well, it could likely peg me pretty close to perfectly.
All in all, a fun piece of interactive marketing from what we're still hoping will be one of the most important games of this young console generation. What I'm mostly concerned with is that most of this sci-fi theorizing will come to naught – that despite the lofty goals of making Watch Dogs a kind of modern techno thriller revolving around the limitless possibilities of big data, we're going to end up with an open world cover shooter. This is a video game after all, and it still looks like something of a Grand Theft Auto game, albeit with a Aldous Huxley twist.
Then again, I'm generally pleased with the Assassin's Creed franchise's ability to make a genuine pastiche of history and gameplay. Could Watch Dogs be the definitive thriller of the big data era? Let's hope so.

I've already ordered a spare clutch cable.
Question 1: what is the brightest aftermarket DOT approved headlight I can put on this thing without stressing the electronics too bad? I was caught out in the dark and in the rain and it was quite an adventure getting home with the Husky's pitiful headlight. I would love to put on the Baja Designs La Paz lights but I don't think they are DOT approved.
Question 2: I feel tipsy when I stand up on this thing, not a stable as on other bikes like my Super Tenere. I've thought about putting on handle bar risers but I've heard that the clutch cables don't have enough slack to allow that. I've also thought about putting on lower pegs. I think what really needs to happen is the pegs need to move rearward to spread me out better, but then I would have to mess with the brake and shifter. Any suggestions?
Get the motion pro cable it's 2" longer and add 2" Rox risers. Move the bars forward and it's night and day. The stator on these can support a lot! 340 or 360 watt.

So I have an appointment with the vet to come out to float Moose's teeth and remove his wolf teeth. She came out a few weeks ago to do his rabies and do a check up. This was my first time using this new vet and I wasn't all too pleased with the service. The vet was very blunt and dry with her words and didn't explain things all too well but she got everything done that I asked. I was thinking about switching vets since I wasn't too pleased with her but I figured she only needs to come out once a year for shots, she got everything done like I had asked; and I have heard that she is a pretty good vet from other people I know.
Now, when she did the check up she looked over his teeth and said they need to be floated. They aren't terrible but should be done and he definitely needs his wolf teeth removed as I know it is causing discomfort when I ride him with a bit.
I was talking to the BM today and I told him that the vet's office is charging me about $250 to come out and have his teeth floated and wolf teeth removed.
Call out charge: $50
Sedation: $50
Wolf teeth removed: $30 per tooth so $30x 2= $60
Power Floating: $90
My BM was appalled at the price! The barn has an equine dentist come out once a year for the boarders to have there horses teeth done but I missed him this year. Now is this price ridiculous? My last two horses didn't need there teeth done so I'm not familiar with what power floating goes for....
I'm in New York and my BM told me to shop around for a better price because 1. $250 is super expensive (according to what he usually pays) and 2. He told me to never let the vet do floatings because they try to up the price extensively and they don't even teach them how to float teeth properly in vet school. *shrugs*
He has an Equine Dentist come out and he told me he has never seen the guy charge more then $75 and doesn't sedate the horses.
Anybody from New York out there? Opinions? I mean I think $250 is pretty steep of a price to have teeth done but then again I've never had to get any of my horses done so I'm pretty clueless on this subject.

Growing old does not increase your immediate risk of dying - at least, if you are a fruit fly. The chances of a Mediterranean fruit fly (Ceratitis capitata) dying on a particular day reaches a peak and then declines, according to James Carey of the University of California at Davis and James Vaupel of Duke University, North Carolina and Odense University in Denmark. Their results contradict the notion that the death rate rises with age in all species.
The research will fan the flames of a long-running debate over whether or not there is a genetically defined limit to an individual's lifespan. If there is not and the fruit fly results extend to humans, then medical advances might eventually allow the elderly to live indefinitely.
In the early 19th century, the British actuary Benjamin Gompertz formulated an empirical law stating that mortality rates increase exponentially with age. For an adult ...

'Fargo's' Martin Freeman: 'Certainly my first high profile Yank'Add to Favorites | Fargo
On FX's Tuesday-night drama "Fargo," inspired by the movie of the same name by the Coen Brothers (who are executive producers on the TV version), "Sherlock" and "Hobbit" star Martin Freeman plays small-town Minnesota insurance salesman Lester Nygaard, who kills his wife and winds up under the spell of a mysterious drifter (Billy Bob Thornton).
Zap2it has a few questions about Freeman's excellent Minnesota (OK, actually Calgary, Canada) adventure ...
Zap2it: Is small-town Minnesota insurance salesman Lester Nygaard your first American role?
Martin Freeman: Professionally, he might be -- certainly my first high-profile Yank. It's not something that I'm called upon to do very often at all. I work hard at every job I do, but it's partly why I want to get it right. I want to get it as right as I can. I didn't want to be the limey f***ing it up.
Zap2it: What sort of a man is he?
Freeman: What's written is not an archetypal anything, certainly not an archetypal American. It could be argued, from an English and maybe American point of view, that Americans have slightly higher confidence than English people, generally speaking.
You have a much more optimistic culture, which may impact on people's self-confidence a bit more, just an ease with even sitting down. "This is my right; this is my chair; this is my table; thank you very much," as opposed to, "May I sit here? Whose is this?" Lester is more that. Lester is far more, "Whose is this chair? May I sit down?" He is a very un-Yank Yank. He's a very unsure, adrift person.
Zap2it: What's special about this?
Freeman: Writing. It's absolute gold dust, and we want to do good writing. We'll do writing that we relate to in some way, whether it's words or actions or just playing something intelligent and adult, for grown-ups.

The following is an archive of a post made to our
'vox-tech mailing list'
by one of its subscribers.
Well, here's the issue. When I first installed Linux on my system,
I partitioned my 6.4 GB hard drive to contain: /boot, /, and my swap
file. I then partitioned my 25GB hard drive to contain /usr (why I
don't know just bear with me :) ). My question is, as I install
programs (VMware, Star Office, various utilities) am I going to wihs
that I paritioned the 25GB elsewhere? If so, how do I fix this short of
re-formatting and re-installing? Does anyone know if programs like Star
Office and VMware install in the /usr directory? or is it the /home
directory? Anyway, any help would be appreciated.
