New workout tweaking? Help?
Hey guys, haven't been here in a while and it seems a bit inactive... But since you guys were always of good advice with great data to back it up.
So anyway, on to the workout; 7 day split(5 with 2 off)
1: - close grip benchpress 4 sets of 12 + 2-3 sets regular grip of 4-6 reps
- superset hammer curl 4 sets of 12 + seated tricep press 4 sets of 12
- barbell curl 5 sets of 12(30sec stretch breaks between sets)
- cable rope overhead pushdown 5 sets of 12(40sec stretch breaks, 20sec/arm)
- seated calf raise 4 sets of 12
- standing machine calf raise 7 sets of 12(80 sec breaks, 20 sec/leg upper/lower calf)
2: - overhead squat 2 sets of 12(as a warmup)
- barbell squat 3-4 sets of 12
- leg press 4 sets of 12
- leg extension/leg curl superset 5 sets of 12(40sec stretch breaks, 20 sec/leg)
3: off or bench/ohp/dead/squat 3-4 sets of 20 (25-50% Max output)
4: - benchpress 2 sets of 12 + 4-5 sets of 3-5
- superset incline dumbbell press/flyes 3 sets of 12
- cable crossover 5 sets of 12(30sec stretch breaks)
- close grip benchpress 3-4 sets of 12
- seated tricep press 4 sets of 12
- cable rope overhead pushdown 5 sets of 12(40sec stretch breaks, 20sec/arm)
(Very subject to change!)
5: - deadlift 2 sets of 12 + 4-5 sets of 3-6
- bent over rows 3 sets of 12
- lat pulldown 3 sets of 12
- seated cable row 5 sets of 12(30sec stretch breaks)
- cable curl or preacher curl 3 sets of 12
- barbell curl 5 sets of 12(30sec stretch break)
6: - overhead shoulder press 2 sets of 12 + 4 sets of 3-6(might be 6 sets of 12 due to shoulder weakness)
- superset upright row + seated lateral raise 3 sets of 12
- Arnold press 5 sets of 12(40sec stretch breaks, 20sec/shoulder)
- standing calf raise 3 sets of 12
- seated calf raise 5 sets of 12(80 sec breaks, 20 sec/leg upper/lower calf)
7: off or bench/ohp/dead/squat 3-4 sets of 20 (25-50% Max output)
Aiming mostly for strength, especially on my bench but I'm thinking about putting on a bit of mass for now as well. I also need to increase my number of pull-ups so I'm thinking about adding 2-3 sets of max rep pull ups/work out. Also I need more core work but not sure where to add it or which exercises to add other than the plank/side plank. I'm probably going to superset to save time?

Why are you doing endless sets of biceps and triceps but then only 2 sets of squats and 2 sets of deadlifts? Bigger muscles need more time and effort. And this is especially true if you want to get strong. If you look at strength programs, they have set/rep protocols like 5x5, 6x4, 7x5, 8x4, 10x3, etc. 2 sets of 12 is not going to cut it.
If your primary focus is strength, then I would start each training session with a main lift (squat, bench, deadlift, overhead press). Second exercise will be a compound lift that is an assistance exercise to hit a particular weakness. Then the accessory work after that will be more single joint, hypertrophy typical bodybuilding style work. This should give you a nice balance of strength and size while bringing up any weaknesses you may have specifically. So a typical day could look like:
Back squat - 5x5
Beltless Front squat - 3x5
Leg curls - 4x10
Calf raises - 3x15
"Strength is the product of struggle, you must do what others don't to achieve what others won't."
Competition PRs-
Squat: 463 Bench: 275 Deadlift: 529 Total: 1262
"Technique is always the first place to begin when striving to improve at a specific skill."

Remember strength is in large part neurological. Frequent practice is good. So try to squeeze in extra sets of the main lifts (these can be lighter) on other days of the week aside from the main workout for that lift.
James 1:16-17 ESV
Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights
With God's help...Mens sana in corpore sano
I've done a lot of 5x5s, 6x6s, etc. I'm just overdue for a change and since my trainer introduced me to the stretchbreaks I've been meaning to incorporate it more into my training and while searching online I found LST-7 which seemed perfect for it so I figured I'd adapt it a bit and give it a spin. (While keeping priority to strength on the primary lifts)
Now back to the order, yeah I've got to switch it up, thinking day one would start with benchpress then superset tricep press with hammer curls and then the two ISO stretches back to back and finally the calf(though I'm unsure why the routine was initially calf the day before legs but I tried it and it doesn't seem to affect my squats/leg press so I figured I'd keep it that way)
Then there's really just day six that I forgot to add shoulder press at the start(maybe remove rows/lat raises, I guess I'll see in a few days, currently on day 3)
Maybe I could also use one or both of he days off to do the main 4 lifts at 25-50% output just to help recovery? And extra practice(can never practice form too much ^_^)
Now thanks both for the feedback, I'm sorry my original post wasn't clear enough because I wanted to make it short and the workout was already making it long... I hope this post clarifies. And I appreciate your inputs but please give me something different than the basic workouts if you really feel this one won't cut it! Thanks
PS: I'm editing the first post to make the workout better fit what I'm changing so far.
PPS: I need to workout daily or nearly daily for two reasons;
1) I'm ADHD and it helps manage it
2) I work an office job and really need to move
Also, my 3-5 rep are never at their best from lack of a partner... But I usually try to get someone at least for the last set of bench.

You keep talking about how strength is a primary focus of yours and that you modified it for strength but I don't see any of that. The only thing slightly resembling a strength focus is the 4-5 sets of 3-5 reps for bench and deadlift but even that is after the 12 reps work.
There are a couple of ideas you need to implement into your programming. One the focus of your program is really going to be based on 2 parameters, intensity and volume. Think of it as a vector (remember that thing they taught us in high school we thought was useless?) Intensity is the direction of the vector and volume is the magnitude of the vector. And you can think of intensity and reps inversely related so the higher the intensity, the lower the reps. So by having all your exercises for sets of 12 reps, your intensity is low thus you aren't pointing your vector in the direction of strength. Your vector is pointing in the direction of hypertrophy and muscular endurance.
Another idea is exercise selection. I don't know why, some people love picking a million different exercises and only doing a few sets on them. If an exercise is worth putting into your program, then it's worth doing for several sets. You really need to put some volume into the exercise selected to actually obtain its benefits. Don't major in the minors. And don't be someone with a million dollar 1-arm supinated cable curl and a broke *** squat.

I agree with what Arian has said. Focusing on the main lifts as the bulk of your exercise selection in the split will yield the best results with regards to strength increases.
As for wanting to add mass to your frame. The main lifts will if you lift hard and eat well. By the sound of things you aren't maxxed out towards your genetic limit. So assistance wise use exercises that provide assistance to the main lifts.
So for squat day you'd add front squats and glute ham raises (GHR's). Your hams and quads get a pounding from the workout but the movements in GHR's and front squats will assist with gaining squat strength.
Same applies for bench press. Don't rely on flyes or DB work for strength increases. Do some dips. *Edit* Also try incline bench press. *edit*Even then only when your strength stalls would i even consider CGBP for some direct tricep/front delt work (Can always be done on shoulder day)
Add in the isolation work as more volume in the workout at the expense of intensity when hypertrophy becomes your main goal. But remember strength gains will generally yield increases in muscle size (Ever seen a skinny powerlifter/WSM competator) so even with strength as your main focus, expect to grow!
Other exercises you would want to consider are pendlay or BB rows. Chins/pullups. hyperextentions. BB curls and old school tricep extensions (if you insist on having 3 sets of direct arm work on bench press day and then on deadlift day).
As for saving time as you mentioned in the first post. You wont need to. By not over complicating the workout with insane volume on isolation work you'll spend the time focusing on the lifts which will make you grow stronger and bigger. Then core work will fit in nicely at the end of every other workout and could be as simple as doing planks and bridges.
As for rep ranges Arian is right again, sets of 12 don't have enough intensity for your goals. Lower the rep ranges considerably. There's no set guideline on this but 5 reps 3 sets, 5 sets 5 reps, 6.4.2., 7x4 etc pick one, focus on it then progress each workout.
An example routine could be:
Day 1 (Exercise. Sets x Reps)
Squats 5x5
Front squat 3x6
GHR's 10 reps 1 second hold at peakcalf work
planks or bridges
Day 2
Bench press 5x5
Dips 3x8 or incline press 3x8,
old school extensions 3x10
Day off
Day 4
Deadlift 5x2
Chins (weighted, or no more than 8 reps 3 sets)
BB rows 3x8
BB curls (if you must) 3x10
Bridges or planks
Day 5
OH press or military press 5x5
Upright rows 3x8
CGBP or dips 3x8
Day off
Rinse and repeat
The primary focus is strength, the assistance work assists in strength. Rep ranges used for assistance work will give adequate hypertrophy.
Hope that helps. Remember its just my 2 cents on things. There's no correct way to train. You'll always have some gains if you eat hard and train hard on any routine. Its about tailoring that routine to give you the best results for your current goals.
Do or do not, there is no try.

- 3rd review Review by John t
- Awesome product. Very effective and producing a calming and relaxed sensation. Very nice small dose of gaba and valerian root. I take 3 caps 30 min prior to bed and I wake up without any side effects like other sleep aids. Helps a ton with recovery. Use everyday and the benefits keep growing. (Posted on 1/11/14)
- 3z Review Review by The Solution
- 3z as a standalone is a great product. not only do you get deeper sleep, but it takes away the groggy feeling when you do wake up the next day. After a good 1 week use you start to notice deeper REM sleep, and an also increased recovery from day to day and session to session as far as less DOMS and increased rest. highly suggest and one of my favorites. (Posted on 1/10/14)
- Night power Review by DoubleM
Some months ago i was having a lot of sleeping troubles. Probably caused by anxiety issues.
I had a lot of trouble to fall asleep and worst.. staying asleep. I woke every single night after 1/2h of falling asleep. The following day i had nausea, lack of appetite and morning anxiety was a lot worse.
I´ve bought 3Z and when i received it i was a little better (it took some time to arrive since i´m from Portugal) but not 100%. First night i took it i´ve tried only 1 pill to see how my body reacts to it. Everything was fine but i didn´t feel a strong effect.
So on the next night i took the full dose and i asleep on about 40 minutes and only woke up on time on the entire night which was very good for me.
Since then i take it occasionally especially when i know i will sleep only a couple of hours or my anxiety is worse.
I fall asleep better, less anxious and i wake up with a refresh feeling. I feel like i slept and recover like i should do. Didn´t you feel sometimes when you wake up that is seems you are more tired than before you asleep? That would be a thing of the past with 3Z (Posted on 7/12/13)
- INCREDIBLE Product......... Review by Pacaveli27
- Plain & simple, if you want some incredible sleep then look no further. Usually within 40 minutes after taking 3Z I was out like a light and the only way I would wake up is if nature called. Other than that, it was awesome sleep until the alarm went off. (Posted on 7/12/13)

The Mohel
This man or woman on the "cutting edge" of Jewish ritual, performs Judaism's oldest rite.
By George Robinson
We Also Recommend
The first mohel was a 99-year-old ex-shepherd with no medical training whatsoever. There is no record of how he performed the procedure but, given that he was his own first subject, it is unlikely that Abraham used an anesthetic.
Things have changed since then. Circumcision is probably the best-known indication of Jewishness in a male (if not the most immediately visible!). It is also the oldest and one of the most widely followed of Jewish ritual practices. Abraham circumcised himself and his sons, Isaac and Ishmael; Zipporah circumcised Gershom, her first-born son. At first, like those estimable forebears, fathers and, apparently, occasionally mothers would circumcise their own sons, with a stone knife, usually of flint.
Through all the upheaval of conquering Canaan, building the Temple, being sent into exile in Babylon, and returning and rebuilding the Temple, the Jews still practiced circumcision. Gradually, it became the province of specially trained men, the mohelim, who were learned in the ritual elements surrounding the procedure (and probably no more ignorant of medicine than the average physician of the period). By the period of the Second Temple, they were using iron knives, and reciting the blessings that are still used today. Initially the brit was a family celebration, but with time it became a festivity that would involve the entire community. By the Middle Ages, the brit milah was usually performed in the synagogue, with the entire congregation active participants in the festivities.
Today, the mohel is considerably better trained than his historical antecedents. Or hers, as the case may be, as the non-Orthodox movements now certify women physicians for the role of mohelet (the female form of mohel). Historically, there were women who acted as circumcisers in medieval Italy and perhaps at other times in history. Today, there are mohalot (plural of mohelet) in the Reform and Conservative movements.
A mohel (or mohelet) is still trained in the ritual of circumcision according to the rules prescribed in classical rabbinic texts and subsequent law codes from the medieval period. However, today's mohel will also have been educated in modern surgical hygiene. The Reform movement in particular has taken an active interest in certifying mohelim who are doctors: They undergo training in the theology, history, and liturgy of the brit milah. A increasing number of Orthodox mohelim are also physicians.

I have been reading a lot online about underlying issues relating to HELLP syndrome, specifically clotting disorders. Should all women who've had HELLP be tested for these disorders? If not, what other risk factors would need to be present before testing is warranted?
I am considering testing to help me make decisions moving forward regarding other children and/or birth control.
A little background on me: I am 37-years-old. My first pregnancy ended in miscarriage, second in full-blown HELLP syndrome at 27 weeks. I was never told what class of HELLP I had, and I don't have the lab results to determine on my own.
Should all women with a HELLP history have a particular workup, and if so, which tests?

Basketball Wins Four In A Row After Beating MAC

HAMBURG, NY – The Hilbert College men's basketball team captured their fourth straight Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference victory when they defeated Mount Aloysius 111-101 January 14. Dan McFarland led five double-figure scoring Hawks when he notched 29 points and passed for game high- six assists. Mount Aloysius, ranked 4th in Division III national 3-point field goals made per game, was held under their average in the defeat.
Hilbert spotted Mount Aloysius the game's first two points and then went on a 17-7 run over the next five minutes to take control of the game. McFarland put Hilbert's first seven points on the board before the Hawks warmed up. Mike Maritato's three scores behind the arc led seven different Hilbert players who dialed up from long distance during the first twenty minutes of play. Both teams were hot shooting over 55% field goal percentage in the first half, but Hilbert was able to build a 58-45 advantage by making 10 three-point shots.
Defensively, McFarland hounded Mount Aloysius' Kory Gibson, the 4th leading scorer in AMCC (18 ppg). So it was Demetrius Davis who took over the game for his team after intermission, scoring 20 points in 15 minutes of play. Davis put up 27 points for the full game while Gibson finished with 24 points. Jeff Stem chipped in 18 points and four assists. Hilbert held the visitors to 17 three-point field goal attempts, well below their 32 attempts per game and of the 17 attempts, they only made eight.
Chris Parrott (game-high 9 rebounds) and Chris Hoak each finished for 13 points for the Hawks. Jordan VanDunk's {in photo to right} five second-half buckets were what the Hawks needed in the paint as he posted 12 points and 7 rebounds on the day. CJ Hodge reached double digits with 11 points.
Hilbert (5-3, 8-7) travels to Pitt-Bradford January 16 with a 6pm tip. Bradford just defeated La Roche College (January 14) to improve to 5-3 forcing a tie in league standings with Hilbert.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone. Hilbert has expanded its academic offerings with the college's first graduate programs and new Accelerated Degree Programs geared to adult learners.

Here we go again!! When is this going to stop??? :down:
I have a friend who teaches there, but he stayed home today to write. I was at the campus last fall as a guest of his class.
Prayers for those who were injured. Last report, one of the shooters is still on the loose.
This sounds like more of a personal vendetta between two people than a systematic shooting. Not that it's any less tragic to those caught in the crossfire.
...and we swirl that much closer to the drain....:down:
Read about this in our local newspaper this morning. So sad once again. :down:
Say prayers.
Apparently the guy with the gun (only one gun) accidentally shot himself in the process, as well as injuring an innocent bystander. If this had happened three blocks away on a street corner, it wouldn't have been national news.
I'm sure every student on that campus was just terrified, as were their families. :down: I'm glad it wasn't another mass school massacre ... but really, this is, except for the setting, a typical example of how most people in the US get shot (outside of suicide): by someone they know. Maybe more cases like this should make the news.

Faculty Information
Quality of education in the academic community is determined by a wide variety of factors. Cooperation between the faculty and the bookstore has a strong influence upon that quality. The faculty and bookstore should consider themselves to be partners in this area of education and strive to enhance the quality of education through this relationship. With this goal in mind, the bookstore has made a commitment to provide the following services:
- Handling all textbook orders with efficiency and promptness.
- Have reference materials available for your use in locating book information.
Textbook Considerations
A student's first experience buying books is usually as a college freshman, and the cost of these texts are often staggering. By giving your text requisitions careful consideration as to actual need and use of each text requested, you can counter-balance the negative attitude toward book purchases. Unsold textbooks create double transportation charges, loss from certain non-returnable titles and wasted overhead spent in ordering, receiving and processing the return of unsold texts.
Textbook Requisition Forms
- Spring 2015 Textbook Requisition Form (docx)
- Fall 2014 Textbook Requisition Form (docx)
- Desk Copy Request Form (docx)
Please keep the following benefits in mind when submitting your requisitions:
- Early requisition ensures realistic time frames for editing, planning and buying used books before purchasing new textbooks.
- Early requisition helps the bookstore to identify special problems and new text editions.
- For the faculty, early requisition ensures sufficient lead time to accommodate publishing delays, adjustments for later editions, searches from other sources and correction of errors.
- For the students, early requisition ensures that the bookstore will be able to pay top dollar for used textbooks at book buyback. This also gives students a larger selections of used books to choose from.
- Early requisition allows the bookstore to research rental and ebook options in order to help mitigate the student cost of textbooks.
- Fill out your form completely, including title, author, publisher and ISBN. Indicate whether your text will be required or optional. If your order includes a publisher package or CD software, please indicate what is included in the package. (The publisher should be able to supply the ISBN for that specific package.)
- If you will NOT be ordering a text for your course, please indicate this on your form.
- If you use a course packet, please indicate this on your form and make sure the bookstore receives the master copy at least four weeks before the semester begins. This allots the bookstore ample time to copy and process the packets for the students.
Additional information concerning Textbook Requisitions:
- The buyback list the bookstore posts is taken directly from your orders. If your order is submitted late, your text may not make it on the list for buyback. The more used books we buyback the quicker we can put the title out on the shelf for the semester. This ensures that we will have books available for students regardless of the problems we may encounter with publishers.
- Consider your designation of required or optional. This determines how many copies the bookstore will order.

CFOs cite major concerns about their teams' ability to meet the expanding needs of the business, according to Deloitte's latest CFO Signals™ survey, and more than 70% of surveyed CFOs cite initial shortages of consultative, partnering, analytical and technical skills. Securing key finance talent remains a challenge, with about two-thirds of CFOs saying outdated value propositions and recruiting mechanisms have gotten in the way. Many CFOs voiced a strong desire to add staff who can use data to influence business decisions.

iPad 2 Accessories55 products
Faster, thinner, lighter, and better than its predecessor, the iPad 2 demands a new generation of accessories. Whether it's an eye catching velvet case or a discreet screen protector that you're after, you can find them all here at iPad Hut. Browse our extensive collection to find your iPad 2 the new wardrobe it deserves.
The iPad is not only a highly clever and entertaining device, it also boasts a wide range of accessories. Such accessories include several screen cover options, a variety of cables and connectors, an assortment of bags and a wide range of stands.
Those that own an iPad 2 will need to invest in any one of the many iPad 2 accessories available. Such accessories boast to enhance the use of your iPad.
The smart cover is a must for those that wish to invest in a simple yet effective protective cover. The cover works by snapping into place with a magnetic device. The case itself is in a sense divided into four portions; these exact portions allow the user to maneuver it in order to create a stand for the device. Another great feature of the iPad 2 smart cover is the fact that it acts as a means of saving battery. Simply snap the cover closed when not in use; this will turn the iPad off and pull open in order to bring the iPad to life.
As well as the infamous smart cover, which comes in a variety of retro colours, other iPad 2 accessories include the more professional looking covers. These come in the shape of heavy leather styles that prove to be more suited to the career generation.
The iPad 2 leather keyboard case is another accessory worth checking out, especially if you wish to turn your iPad into something similar to that of a MacBook Air. Simply fit the cover and type to your heart's content. Replying to emails, writing contents and searching the World Wide Web has never been easier.
Those that see themselves as a little bit of a camera fanatic may wish to invest in the iPad 2 2-in-1 camera kit USB, SD card reader. This enticing device allows the user to connect and download an array of pictures from their camera device. Once safely stored the iPad, the photo app will be launched into life, allowing the user to edit the pictures to their specification.
The smart front and back cover is a more recent introduction to the iPad world and boasts to protect not only the front of the iPad but the back also. This is after all the part that is met with rough tables, and damaging surfaces on a regular basis. The magnetic feature allows the back cover to snap into place just as the front cover does so.
All of the above mentioned iPad 2 accessories boast to both enhance and protect your iPad, meaning it will last unharmed for many years.

Physical Activity Guidelines Advisory Committee Report
Part F. Appendix F.1: Phase 2 Literature Review
Literature reviews for Phase 2 were conducted based on additional requests from members of the Federal Advisory Committee. The following describes the process used to support the abstraction of articles from the Phase 2 literature searches.
Staffing in Phase 2 was less than in Phase 1. The life-stage approach to staffing teams was abandoned and replaced with a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Physical Activity Guidelines Advisory Committee (PAGAC) subcommittee liaison system. Because the PAGAC adopted the conceptual framework and divided into 10 subcommittees (all-cause mortality, cardiorespiratory health, metabolic health, energy balance, musculoskeletal health, functional health, cancer, mental health, adverse events, and youth) the CDC and PAGAC decided that a staff member from CDC would be assigned to support each subcommittee in addressing questions about the literature search and the CDC database. This support would include initiating additional literature reviews.
Abstractor Training: Phase 2 "Booster" Sessions
The CDC internal team held the first "booster" training session before the beginning of Phase 2 abstractions. This mandatory session was offered to those 24 abstractors who were the most accurate and productive from Phase 1. The purpose of this training session was to provide additional training on the essential abstraction components to improve the accuracy of the abstractions.
The first Phase 2 booster session was co-taught by three CDC team members. Immediately after the session, abstractors were sent two scientific articles to abstract to become recertified. Only 8 of 24 abstractors passed recertification. Given the 33% pass rate, the CDC team decided that an additional training session was needed.
Of the 16 abstractors who did not pass recertification, 13 attended the second booster training session. An additional training session (at three times throughout the day) was offered and each session was co-taught by CDC staff. Again, after the training, abstractors were sent two scientific papers to abstract. Once the abstraction was approved by the quality control team, the abstractor could begin abstracting. Of the initial 24 abstractors who entered Phase 2, 19 abstractors passed recertification training.
Additional Research Questions for Phase 2
Again, the literature search for Phase 2 was guided by members of the PAGAC. The additional research questions from each subcommittee are provided below.
All Cause Mortality
The All-cause Mortality subcommittee had no additional research questions.
Cardiorespiratory Health
During Phase 2, an additional search for subclinical outcomes was conducted, yielding 206 papers. Inclusion criteria from the subcommittee chair, William Kraus, were to include a study design of a randomized control trial with 25 or more participants per arm or a prospective cohort study with at least 2,000 participants. Using these inclusion criteria, 4 of the 206 papers collected were abstracted.
For peripheral arterial disease, a consultant (Brian Duscha) for the cardiovascular subcommittee identified two papers on this health outcome. One paper was published in the "out of date range" (published in 1993), and the other paper (Gardner et al.) was abstracted.
Musculoskeletal Health
Phase 2 additional research questions were the following:
Bone Questions
- Is there evidence that physical activity reduces the incidence of
osteoporotic fractures?
- Is there evidence that fracture incidence is influenced by the type or dose (intensity, frequency, duration) of physical activity?
- Is there evidence that physical activity reduces the incidence of osteoporotic fractures in women and men?
- Is there evidence that physical activity reduces risk for
osteoporosis by increasing, or slowing the decline, in bone mineral density
(BMD) or bone mineral content (BMC)?
- Is there evidence for benefits of physical activity on BMD or BMC in children/adolescents, adults, postmenopausal women or elderly men?
- Is there evidence that BMD and BMC are influenced by the type or dose (intensity, frequency, duration) of physical activity?
Joint Questions
- Is there evidence that physical activity reduces or increases the incidence of osteoarthritis (OA)?
- Is there evidence that physical activity is harmful or beneficial for adults with OA or other rheumatic conditions?
Muscle Questions
- Is there evidence that physical activity preserves muscle
- Is there evidence that muscle mass is influenced by the type or dose of physical activity?
- Is there evidence that physical activity preserves muscle quantity in women and men?
- Is there evidence that physical activity preserves muscle quality (defined by force production characteristics and by metabolic characteristics)?
A search initiated by the Musculoskeletal subcommittee search was conducted. No systematic review was conducted by CDC. The purpose of this search was to identify studies that formed a narrative discussion about physical activity and muscle fitness benefits.
Metabolic Health
For Phase 2 additional research questions, the Metabolic Health subcommittee abstracted articles on two additional outcomes: (1) insulin/glucose and (2) gestational diabetes. No further searches that resulted in additional abstractions were done for this group.
For Phase 1, the Cancer subcommittee ended up having 16 additional Phase 1 papers identified and abstracted. Twenty-nine papers were identified for Phase 2; of those, 6 were excluded and 7 were already in the database, leaving 16 additional papers that were identified, abstracted, and included.
Phase 2 searches examined the effects of physical activity in cancer survivors with respect to fatigue, lymphedema, strength, flexibility, and body mass index.
- 4 identified, 2 excluded, 2 abstracted
- 4 identified, 1 excluded, 1 duplicate, 2 abstracted
- 7 identified, 1 excluded, 6 abstracted
Body mass index
- 16 identified, 3 excluded, 5 abstracted, 7 already abstracted, 1 duplicate
Functional Health
The Functional Health subcommittee had no additional research questions during Phase 2.
Energy Balance
The Energy Balance subcommittee had no additional research questions during Phase 2.
Mental Health
The Mental Health subcommittee had no additional research questions during Phase 2.
For Phase 2, the Youth subcommittee conducted additional literature searches on the following health outcomes: cardiorespiratory fitness, bone density, muscle strength, metabolic syndrome or its components (e.g., hypertension, blood lipids), body composition, depression, anxiety, and self-concept.
Adverse Events
For Phase 2, the Adverse Events subcommittee had two additional outcomes abstracted: (1) health care cost/medical expenditures and (2) upper respiratory tract infection. No further searches that resulted in additional abstractions were done for this group.

Wind: 0 mph
By Christine Sullivan
Being human, I can appreciate that many people are resistant to change. How often is our first response to something new to say we don't like it? Or, of something different, to say it's ugly? I won't comment on the esthetics of the new radar feedback signs except to say beauty is in the eye of the beholder (witness the debate in New Jersey over the unsightliness of solar panels installed on already existing utility poles). But, I will comment on the functionality: They work.
For some of us, life in a quaint country village involves being able to walk or bike to school safely. The reality is that except in rare instances the school buses do not conveniently stop at our doors and at times that work for families. We are also free to choose this option for a variety of other reasons which we need not discuss. The roads are not just for cars and trucks. However, woe to the pedestrian, bicyclist or horseback rider who operates under this assumption. For every courteous and responsible driver, there are others who forget a vehicle could be the means of destruction for the non-motorized users they encounter on the roads.
When drivers obey traffic laws it improves the quality of life for residents living along the roads which they drive. It makes our village more charming and quaint because it is a safer place for every user. Ultimately, it makes it a more desirable place to live. Up to now our run-of-the-mill speed limit signs haven't always been effective. While drivers are supposed to scan the road for other users and obstacles and check their speed against the posted limits, a lot of people don't pay attention. This is evidenced by the fact that paid contractors installed 35 mph signs at the radar feedback sights after they had passed the regularly posted speed limit signs on the way to and leaving these sights. Didn't they notice that this was not the posted speed limit in any of the areas where the radar feedback signs are located? If anyone notices, shouldn't they? Weren't they paying attention?
There are countless situations when drivers approach pedestrians, bicyclists and horseback riders too fast and without a wide enough berth for their speed. The non-motorized users have to assume drivers aren't paying attention and be prepared to react because a pedestrian, bicyclist or horseback rider loses in a collision. You hope drivers see you and respond to your presence on the road in a safe way, yet in my time living here, while visibly pregnant, walking children in strollers and otherwise, I have been buzzed by vehicles moving at excessive speeds. On more than one occasion I have come close to being hit by drivers going through intersections after not having looked for pedestrians on their right as they should.
Obviously, we can't ameliorate all these situations with blinking signs. It would be nice if there was no need to. It is reasonable that we want to do so in the areas where drivers are more likely to encounter children, who after all are the users of the road less schooled in the way things actually work. At the very least these signs should be operational at the most appropriate times, when children are traveling to and from school. It would be nice if drivers were always responsible enough to obey posted speed limits with no reminders. That does not always happen. However, when people speed on their approach to these signs and get the blinking feedback they slow down. I can understand if people don't like being "woken up" by a blinking number. But, if this makes all other users of the road safer, then these signs will have served an invaluable purpose.
Sullivan lives in Waitsfield.

Kim Zolciak Heads to the Gym — And You Won't Believe How Hard She Worked Out! (PHOTOS)
After two kids in two years, Kim Zolciak has fought to get her body back to pre-baby shape, but she has readily admitted that she rarely (if ever) heads to the gym for an intense workout — until now!
Kim's husband, Kroy, has continued to be a good, healthy influence on his wife, and today, she even accompanied her honey to the gym. On Feb. 11, she tweeted, "You won't believe it BUT I actually came with hubby to the gym today! Rise and Grind."
And if you thought Kimmie just went to the gym to relax in the sauna, then think again! Kim told a curious Twitter follower that once at the gym, she "did 2 miles in 20 min. Not too bad."
Get it, Kim! Earlier this month, she was juicing and now she's hitting the gym. This mama is bound to have one hot bikini bod for her upcoming trip to Turks and Caicos!
Are you surprised that Kim actually hit the gym this week? Sound off below!

Rated 4 out of 5Â by visual_vocab Smells Great! Looks beautiful! I love these soaps! They are large, and beautiful, and smell delicious! They really fool the eye! My only complaint isn't really a complaint, but if you order online, they come with giant stickers on them that are hard to remove, and take away from the look when you are presenting them as gifts, so that should be noted (and/or changed!). 12.29.2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Addo Jade I was a bit disapointed, my grandma loves blue so I ordered the jade one because i looked blueish and really beautiful, however when it arrived it was more of a greenish color. The color was still really nice but since it wasn´t blue I ended up bying something else to her and giving the soap to my mam. She was really happy about it though :) 12.22.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by katrisme LOVVE truly beautiful and smells good. its a great price for the quality. i love that it is vegan and natural and it is great if you have sensitive skin. 1.26.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by hhumh looks good, smells good, feels good i ordered the jade and both its texture and smell feel so natural, it's just impossible not to love it. plus it's really, really beautiful! highly recommended 12.19.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by electtralyte Perfect soap! I really wanted the crystal sopas but they sold out before I got a chance to buy one. I got this soap in turquoise. It is pretty big and smells great too. It really looks like a stone. Get one before they're gone! 12.11.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by somuchbetter Had 2 of them, LOVED them This soap is BIG and I get a lot of compliments on it. It will last you a LONG time and its fun to hold in your hands and look at all of the different textures and colors. It smells good too! Love it. I had the opal (beautiful) and one not sold here, both were outstanding quality and it even looks better wet. 10.11.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by gossamerdreams Great soaps, great gifts, too! Been using these for years, they are amazing soaps, very beautiful and pure ingredients. Since i work with gemstones my sweet friends gift me these soaps, too, so i think i have tried all the colors lol. The soap lasts not very long, much depending of the harndess/how much calcium there is in your water. We used to live in So Cal, very soft water and these disappeared superfast, but here in NY we have harder water and they last long enough to sort of justify the high price:) My fav are the turquoise,the (s)opal and the golden quartz. These come in large chunks or itbt travel size, and since FP reveals no weight or size i am little leery purchasing them. FP please add approx weight:) 10.9.2012

Pizza with Fresh Clams, Garlic, Mozzarella, Romano, and Basil
Clam pizza is the kind of pizza that you need to start eating immediately after it's cut into slices, before the copious clam juices have a chance to render the crust completely soggy (though some degree of sogginess is inevitable—a feature for some, even). Even so, roasting a clam in the open heat of an oven is not the ideal way to do it, even if its been freshly shucked. Want to know the secret to the absolute tenderest, most flavorful clams and juiciest clam pizza around? Place the whole, unshucked clams on that pie before baking. It may look strange at first, and it will definitely look strange when it comes out of the oven, but the clams will be insanely tender and you won't lose a single drop of those precious juices.

Wednesday, June 4, 2014
The Mount Pleasant Planning Commission will hear a recommendation from the Planning and Development Committee that unanimously approved a requirement that all proposed new commercial buildings would have to go to the Design Review Board for approval.
The Design Review Board used to be mandatory, but a previous elected officials removed it from the ordinance requirements several years ago at the request of the development community. The goal was to make the process more efficient.
Currently developers have the option to have the town staff sign off on projects.
Mount Pleasant Mayor Linda Page brought the issue back to the forefront to give residents a chance to weigh in before a project is approved rather than after finalized plans come to light.
Committee members backed Page's push to have all new commercial building plans go before the town's Commercial Design Review Board.
"I want you all here in town hall from the beginning," Page told members of the committee and the public who attended the meeting Monday. "We are giving you back part of the process."
The seven member panel is appointed and remain as active members, but have not had to meet to discuss issues for projects such as architecture and landscaping.
The Planning Commission will hear the proposed recommendation in July, host a public hearing, and send it on to the full Town Council for approval.
The Commercial Design Review Board meets at 5 p.m. the last Wednesday of each month, unless otherwise noted in the Annual Meeting Schedule.
According to the town's website, "In order to maintain the sense of place of Mount Pleasant, all new commercial construction, remodeling and alteration activity must be approved through the commercial design review process. The design review process establishes a systematic and uniform review procedure for proposed construction based on the design review guidelines. Owners are encouraged to involve design professionals in the design of projects for improved design quality and assistance to project owners in interpreting design review guidelines. Design professionals may include a registered architect, landscape architect, civil engineer and other engineering disciplines as needed or required by building code."

It's true that a lot of damage has already been done, but it doesn't mean that there is no hope for things changing.
You can just about teach all the nonsense and lies you want in any church as long as you maintain that there are sinners burning in hell for eternity.
I think the whole situation that Christianity is in today is very sad.... sad that people who profess to love and follow Jesus will reject the idea of Him saving everyone... sometimes I wonder if it's because (some) Christians need a way to feel that they are better than non-believers in the sight of God. News flash to them - we're not. He loves *everyone*. Perhaps they just can't deal with that..

Rolling in the deepWritten by Michael Miller | Editor in Chief Emeritus | email@example.com
With the new year bringing a greater focus on health issues, I am working on a checklist of things that need to be addressed. One of those issues is sleep.
"Sleep is for the weak!" used to be one of my favorite rallying cries, but that has transformed to "I'm weak without sleep!" as the years flow by.
If you ask me, I am a sound sleeper; I can drop off in seconds, it takes a vuvuzela in the ear to wake me up and, when morning comes, I bounce up and attack the day. If you ask my wife, I am a terrible sleeper; I snore like a vuvuzela and often "stop breathing," which causes great shuddering sighs as my brain jump-starts my respiratory system.
The combination of age, extra weight, raising two young boys who demand more energy than the angels who answer Tim Tebow's prayers, an intense job (and the pain and suffering of enduring a lawsuit designed to terminate that job) have increased the need for sleep while simultaneously decreasing the opportunity for sleep. After a recent check-up, my doctor suggested I take a test for sleep apnea. Ugly word, apnea. Say it out loud a few times and see if it doesn't make your nose wrinkle in distaste.
According to WebMD, "Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder that occurs when a person's breathing is interrupted during sleep. People with untreated sleep apnea stop breathing repeatedly during their sleep, sometimes hundreds of times. This means the brain — and the rest of the body — may not get enough oxygen. If left untreated, sleep apnea can result in a number of health problems including: high blood pressure, stroke, heart failure, irregular heartbeats and heart attacks, diabetes and depression."
I checked into a regional hospital's sleep clinic recently for the test, assuming the apnea diagnosis would be correct. The Sleep Clinic room looked like a basic hospital room, with its twin bed, a wall TV and a bathroom/shower. I checked in, changed into sleepwear and called my family for a quick good-night.
The young female technician came in with a clear plastic bag full of masks. She explained that for the first few hours, I would sleep naturally and she would monitor my heart rate, breathing and eye movements via a ceiling-mounted video camera. Harboring no delusions about the assorted undignified movements, reactions and sounds one uncontrollably makes during sleep, I would have preferred a robot monitor or some sympathetic unattractive man at the other end of the video.
After the initial monitoring, if it was determined sleep apnea was an issue, the technician would wake me up, slip a breathing mask on me and monitor another few hours of sleep.
The technician demonstrated three breathing masks. The first one, a nostrils-only mask, reminded me of the Venom-dripping apparatus Bane uses before he attacks Batman. The second was a nose-and-mouth-covering suction cup I called "The Maverick," after the air masks the pilots wore in "Top Gun." The third was a full-face windshield that, with a bolt or two and darker shading, could have been called "The Vader." But it was more like "The Anakin."
I tried each of the masks, which were hooked up to a machine with hoses and a water receptacle (patent pending: Boris Karloff) that pumped air to the mask. That is called a continuous positive airway pressure machine, or CPAP, which is just ugly enough when you say it out loud to make you forget how ugly "apnea" sounds. The "Maverick" model formed a tight seal but exhaling through the nose was an effort; it felt like trying to breathe while walking in the hurricane simulator booth at Imagination Station. The "Anakin" mask made me feel like I was looking through the wrong side of an aquarium tank; it was all in my head, but it made me feel like I was drowning, a theme we will revisit. The "Bane" was the least obtrusive; it filled the nostrils but did not press on the sinuses or cover the mouth.
I chose the "Bane" and the technician then began the monitoring process, which consisted of attaching a dozen monitor tips to my head, neck, chin, abdomen and legs. When she was done, I looked like C-3PO after the Imperial Stormtroopers shot his inner workings out in "The Empire Strikes Back." I almost asked about the red ball gag, but thought better of it. I was then asked to lie on my back, which is not how I sleep, on a thin pillow, which is not how I sleep, without my wife, which is not how I sleep, covered in wires and modules and straps to hold them all in place, which is not how I sleep. I reflected on the technician's earlier comments that I would be observed sleeping "naturally," and marveled at how differently two people could define one word.
The technician turned out the lights and left, and I tried to sleep, wired and with a severely limited range of motion. The last image I had seen on the TV was Uma Thurman in her yellow "Kill Bill" jumpsuit, and just as I was thinking about what a potentially embarrassing chain of events that could lead to and that I had better fall asleep thinking of something less enticing, like maybe Michael Madsen in "Kill Bill," I dozed off.
The next thing I knew, the technician was bringing up the lights and calling my name over the intercom to wake me up. She immediately started fitting the "Bane" mask on my face. I knew she wasn't allowed to share any of the results with me (I was curious to know the little details, like, you know, how many times an hour I stopped freaking breathing) but it wouldn't be mask time unless I met the criteria.
I lay back down, now not only wired but trying to get used to air being forced in my nose, having to keep my mouth closed to maintain the seal and force air back out. I eventually fell asleep, and remember just one dream, in which I was drowning with Uma Thurman while trying to rescue C-3PO.
The technician woke me up four hours later, unhooked the mask and wires and wished me well. I filled out a form, showered, dressed and drove to work, thinking about how uneven and lacking in sleep my "sleep test" was. But as I drove, I realized how much more awake I felt. Throughout that day's deadline, housework and family time, I felt more aware and energetic than I had in a very long time; it was like that TV commercial for allergy medicine where they peel back the cloudy film to reveal bright, vibrant colors.
It will be a few weeks before I see my doctor to get the test results and probably my own CPAP machine. It's my first medical aid of aging (eyeglasses count, but I have worn them for 20 years), and while I know it won't be the last, at least I will be able to face the others more awake.

Comments On Mar 30, 2015:These tend to run on the large side. I am of stocky build and ordered the XL. I took two steps with no knee braces and they immediately fell. They are a thin material which may breath, but I do not think they will stay up on the leg with a smaller size. I am returning them and investing in a better sleeve.

NATURAL GAS EXPLORATION: Health implications discussed at Stand Your Ground meeting
Although many of the speakers and the topics they covered at a meeting Tuesday night held by anti-fracking activists were familiar, there was one significant change — the average age of the audience was much younger than in most meetings related to the subject.
Generally, at meetings about hydraulic fracturing — a controversial drilling method used to extract natural gas — there have been few audience members who appeared to be younger than 35. But at the Tuesday meeting organized by Stand Your Ground, N.C, at least 10 attendees in the audience of about 45 people looked to be in their 20s or 30s, and several people even brought their children.
Therese Vick, a community organizer with the Blue Ridge Environmental Defense League, made the case that fracking will affect everyone — not just landowners or mineral owners — because of public health implications. Even disregarding the oft-debated safety of the chemicals injected into the ground during the process, she said, emissions from the hundreds of thousands of semi truck trips that will be required will harm the young and the old alike.
"Just the added diesel fuels alone in Lee County will send people to the hospital," she said. "There will be asthma attacks. There will be premature deaths. ... I have hundreds of health studies and hundreds of documented media reports about (the effects of fracking-related) traffic."
Ed Harris, a local landowner who organized a similar event last month, brought up Senate Bill 76, which if passed would lift the current moratorium on fracking by 2015 whether there are regulations in place or not. It would also allow companies to dispose of the chemical-infused waste water that's a by-product of fracking by injecting it into the ground — a technique that has been outlawed for decades in North Carolina.
One audience member said, with resignation, that as dangerous as that could end up being, it probably wouldn't be any more dangerous than burning the water and letting the chemicals dissipate into the air, another method of dealing with the water that can't be cleaned by water treatment plants.
James Robinson, research and policy associate at Pittsboro-based Rural Advancement Foundation International (RAFI) and a member of the Compulsory Pooling Study Group of the N.C. Mining and Energy Committee, spoke about pooling issues — a multi-faceted issue on which readers can find past articles about at www.sanfordherald.com under the menu item News: Mining and Energy.
Robinson said compulsory pooling does have its pros and cons, but that RAFI doesn't support it. However, 40 states (including North Carolina) allow it, and he said it will likely continue to be legal here. In that case, he said, the group wants at least a super-majority of landowners to be voluntary participants. He encouraged the audience to contact members of the study group, led by Lee County landowner Ray Covington, to make their voices heard "whether it's a perfect process or not," although he did say the group is actually more receptive to input than some have claimed.

Four billion dollars...that's the amount Texas A&M says it generated for the local economy last year.
A report shows the number has doubled over the last decade and has increased more than half a billion in the past year alone.
It is a new record amount of money and it's actually coming from a wide variety of places.
According to an in-house study by Texas A&M, $4.3 billion was raised and spent in 2012 on behalf of Texas A&M.
It's money that goes directly into the economy of the Brazos Valley.
It's an increase of $540 million from what we saw spent in 2011.
The biggest factors include the impact of Aggie Athletics: Ticket sales and game day visitors that school officials say went up because of their move to the SEC.
Also included are nearly $900 million for employee salaries, $380 million from university visitors and activities, and close to $470 million for everyday student expenses from living and spending in our area.
Businesses like Sully's Sports Grill & Bar weren't surprised by the economic boost.
"I think the sporting events have a tremendous impact on retail, hotels, restaurants and other retail in town. Obviously, any time you can bring in that many people into the area they're here to enjoy the games," said Sully's Owner Mark Holubec.
Holubec also added that it's not just people from out town coming to his place during games, but local Aggie fans and people who enjoy getting together to watch Aggie Athletics as a group.
There was also a significant amount of money spent in terms of the university's construction project.
With enrollment expected to increase in the next few years, these figures will likely do nothing but grow.

text: Items 13 to 24 of 73 total View 12 / 24 / 48 Previous 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 ... 7 Next Good product By Davidfrances on 8/18/2014 Davidfrances would recommend this product to a friend I have been running the BRS product now for a few weeks. Like some of the other reviewers, I have not noticed a significant uptick in the amount of skimmate being pulled out of my tank, but the skimmate that does come off now is exponentially more rank than before. I can report that my nitrate and phosphate levels are below the measuing ability of my test kits, having gone from 10ppm nitrate and 40 ppm phosphate previously. Rapid Degradation By Eldog on 8/5/2014 Eldog wouldn't recommend this product to a friend After 4 months the BRS biopellets were removed due to rapid degradation with fine plastic silt accumulating everywhere down-stream of the reactor via the effluent. After conferring with the BRS Tech Advisers, they suggested moving a greater volume of water through the reactor to mitigate accumulation of too much bio-mass. The accumulation was clearly fine particles of the biopellet material and not associated with biologic bacterial cells. The added water-flow simply accelerated the break down of the pellets. I have switched to Ecobak pellets and will restart the reactor. I receive all of my dosing, RODI and filter media from BRS and have always been very satisfied. I feel this product is defective however. Large Pellets By Anthony on 7/15/2014 Anthony would recommend this product to a friend Biopellets seem to be the wave of the future. They work, it is obvious. These pellets seem to be a bit larger than some. Rapid degradation By Eldog on 6/24/2014 Eldog wouldn't recommend this product to a friend I am very pleased with the nitrate reduction since running biopellets in the BR140 reef octopus reaction chamber on my 240 gallon reef tank. Nitrates went from 5 ppm to undetectable in 16 weeks. The downside at this point is a rapid degradation of the pellets leaving a fine but thick pasty emulsion on the upper segment of the chamber, return plumbing, and sump / protein skimmer. The degradation was rapid between 15 - 18 weeks I noticed a steady accumulation of biopellet emulsion. I have rerouted the output side of the reactor through my filter sock in fear that this emulsion may have an adverse reaction on the tank inhabitants and corals. Great product so far By Sharkboy on 3/14/2014 Sharkboy would recommend this product to a friend The pellets tumble nicely with an Eheim 2000 and bashsea reactor. Pellets don't clump either. Time will tell if notates are lowered as they have only been tumbling a week now DONT DO IT! By Todd on 2/23/2014 Todd wouldn't recommend this product to a friend If your tank is already up and running DON'T!!! use this stuff. It killed my whole tank slowly but surely. It made everything healthy and brighter at first then came the cyano bacteria . I immediately removed it and did a massive water change to get rid of any of the bacteria it created but I was too late and over the next 6 months no matter what I did it didn't help and now I have a tank full of rock and a starfish. pretty good By Dustin on 12/11/2013 Dustin would recommend this product to a friend works good for nitrate reduction but I dont see it helping with phosphates in my tank. Great stuff, good price, but 500ml is a tiny bag By Anthony on 12/3/2013 Anthony would recommend this product to a friend I've been running the stuff for 9 months and have been very happy with the results. The last time I ordered I ordered the 1000ml and that's the small size shown in the picture, this last time I accidentally ordered the 500ml, thinking it was the small size I ordered before and was disappointed. My fault of course. I really think the two small sizes should be listed in cups instead of ml since the calculator only shows the number of cups recommended. Great so far By Russell on 11/30/2013 Russell would recommend this product to a friend I have been running these pellets in my DIY reactor for about 8 weeks now with great results. I havent noticed much of an uptick in my skimmate, but nitrates are down and algae is almost completely gone. I may have to step up feeding or supplement feed my crabs and snails soon. GREAT FOR PO4 AND NO3 By Jhon on 11/27/2013 Jhon would recommend this product to a friend Been using for about 2 years, on both my tanks resolved my hair algae and kept it away. This is my main source of nutrient export. Good Product For Good Price By The Reef Spot on 11/23/2013 The Reef Spot would recommend this product to a friend Just started running the biopellets. Will be a month to see how effective they will be. But for the price, cant beat it! Great Product with a catch By Anne on 10/17/2013 Anne would recommend this product to a friend I've been using BRS biopellets on my tank for a little over 6 months now, and have been getting great results for about 4 months. The first 2 months were spent fighting cyano outbreaks despite not having high nitrates or phosphates. I was doing 20% water changes every week and fed very lightly. After turning my UV off (it's inline after the biopellet reactor) the cyano went away within 2 weeks. I haven't run the UV since and have had wonderful results. Nutrients stay nice and low and the corals and fish are all flourishing. So after a bumpy start (probably my fault for running the UV) the pellets are performing very well and doing exactly what they are described to do.

Chaplaincy and Pastoral Education
Welcome to Chaplaincy /Pastoral Education at Palmetto Health. The mission of our Chaplaincy department is a joint ministry of service (provision of pastoral care) and education (theological education as an accredited Association of Clinical Pastoral Education-ACPE-training site.) The role of the chaplain is a vital and well integrated component of the healthcare team and grounded in a rich history that values the spiritual and emotional health of our patients, families and staff. In addition to providing direct patient care 24/7, we also serve as an important liaison between the patient and his/her faith community.
Chaplains are assigned to all clinical areas within Palmetto Health including community sites and Hospice, and also provide ministry to employees through support, prayer, ritual and education. Chaplains within the department range from Board Certified Professional Chaplains, Certified ACPE Supervisors/Pastoral Educators, CPE Residents, Fellows and Interns. At the Richland campus, we also train and utilize lay Stephen Ministers for patient care. Although our department is divided across the campuses and clinical sites of Palmetto Health, we are united in our mission and in our commitment to service and ministry.
Religious Diversity
Pastoral Care at Palmetto Health is offered in ways that respect the rich religious diversity represented in the patients, families, staff and communities to whom we minister and serve. In addition to direct patient and staff care and worship leadership, we also provide training for hospital staff to promote appreciation for our religiously diverse society. We strive to increase staff awareness of how each person's faith tradition and beliefs impact their healthcare decisions.
