Why do I have lower back pain while doing abdominal workouts?
I am a 26 year old male who exercises very regularly so am in very good shape overall. However, I often have lower back pains primarily when doing ab workouts. My back also aches from inactivity (sitting around too much). My back has always ache and burned for as long as I can remember.
Hey man i had similar problems with similar background as yourself.
It's highly likely that this is a muscular 'endurance' problem in your back. Recent evidence is pointing towards lower muscular back pain being symptoms of lack of endurance capability in your lower back.
To test the endurance capability of your back try get someone to help with following:
Lie face down on bench/table with your waist up past the edge of the bench/table while where your helper keeps your legs pinned to the bench from the waist down. You aim to keep your body completely horizontal with hands on your chest. In this exercise your lower back muscles are activated. You should pass 50 seconds of sustaining horizontal position if you have good muscular endurance. Should you not succeed it points to weak lower back muscle endurance capability and cutting edge research is showing this as a lead factor in potential back injury.
Just aim to beat 50 seconds and beyond to improve the back and get rid of your problem.
Hope this helps.
Effect of Shugan Jianpi Granule on Gut Mucosal Serotonin-positive Cells in Patients with Irritable Bowe Syndrome of Stagnated Gan-qi Attacking Pi Syndrome Type
WANG Zai-jian l, LI Hui-xia 2, WANG Jing-hua 1, and ZHANG Fan 1
ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the effect of Shugan Jianpi Granule , SJG) on the number of gut mucosal serotonin-positive cells (5-HT+C) in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) of stagnated Gan-qi attacking Pi (SGAP) syndrome type. Methods: Twenty-four patients were randomized equally into three groups. All were treated with the basic conventional treatment by cognition-behavior therapy with assistance of lactein 3 tablets thrice a day. Additionally, 24 g of SJG was given three times a day to group A, and the same dosage of SJG and Smecta 15 g thrice a day was given to group B, while no additional treatment was given to the control group. The number of 5-HT+C was measured respectively before and two weeks after treatment by immunohistochemical method. Results: The number of 5-HT+C decreased after treatment in all the three groups (P<0.05), but the decrement was more significant in the two test groups than in the control group (P<0.05 and P<0.01, respectively), while comparison of 5-HT+C between the two test groups showed insignificant difference (P>0.05). Conclusion: SJG can reduce the number of 5-HT+C in IBS patients of SGAP syndrome type, and its effect is enhanced when used in combination with Smecta.
KEY WORDS Shugan Jianpi Granule, irritable bowel syndrome, serotonin
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a clinical syndrome involving digestive functional changes without intestinal constitutive and biochemical abnormalities; that is, no pathologically based organic change could be found. Researches showed that the occurrence of IBS of the diarrhea type (IBS-D) is closely related with the abnormal secretion of serotonin, an intestinal neural transmitter related with mental psychic factor(1).
The Chinese drug Shugan Jianpi Granule SJG) possesses the actions of stretching Gan ,strengthening Pi regulating qi and activating blood circulation, and is commonly used for the treatment of diarrhea, abdominal pain, etc., caused by Gan stagnation, Pi deficiency and qi-blood stasis, and IBS of stagnated Gan-qi attacking Pi (SGAP) syndrome type is one of the indications of SJG.
This study was a controlled trial designed for evaluating the effect of SJG on the number of gut mucosal serotonin-positive cells (5-HT+C) in IBS patients of SGAP syndrome type by way of observing the change in the number of 5-HT+C before and after SJG treatment.
Diagnosis Standard and Clinical Materials
Patients with diagnosis of IBS-D up to the Rome ? standard(2), and with TCM syndrome of SGAP matching the standard in the integrative medical diagnosis and treatment program (draft)(3) were selected.
All the 24 patients enrolled were outpatients visiting the clinics of digestive medicine, the Third Hospital Affiliated to Beijing University of Chinese Medicine from March 2007 to August 2007. They were distributed into 3 groups equally according to the sequence of their visit. The 8 patients in group A were 4 males and 4 females, aged between 21-45 years, 31.8 ± 15.6 years on average, with the
disease course of 3-19 months, 13.1 ±8.7 months on average; the 8 patients in group B were 3 males and 5 females, aged between 28-39 years, 35.2±16.4 years on average, with the disease course of 4-28 months, 15.3± 12.7 months on average; the 8 patients in the control group were 4 males and 4 females, 18-46 years old, with the mean of 32.2±14.8 years. The three groups were insignificantly different in general conditions like age, sex, and course of disease (P>0.05).
Treatment was implemented by an appointed specialist trained by the neurological department. The basic therapy given to all patients in the three groups included mainly recognition-behavior treatment, with the auxiliary measures of diet-guidance and oral administration of lactein tablet, three times a day, 3 tablets each time.
Additionally, for patients in group A, SJG was given three times a day, 24 g each time, which is a Chinese medicine consisting of nutgrass galingale rhizome, white atractylodes rhizome, tangerine peel, notoginseng, etc., made by the pharmacy department of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine; for patients in group B, besides the SJG given to group A, 15 g of Smecta (a product of Bofu-Yipusheng Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., batch No. H20000690) thrice a day was also given; no additional treatment was given to the patients in the control group. The observation period lasted over 2 weeks for all the three groups.
Indexes and Methods of Observation
Sample Collection
Colonoscopic examination on fasting condition was performed in all patients before and after treatment to take 2-3 pieces of biopsy from the sigmoid-rectal conjuncture, and then the sample tissues were fixed by 4% formaldehyde, gradient alcohol dehydrated, dimethylbenzene hyalinized and paraffin embedded.
Immunohistochemical Stain
The paraffin embedded tissue was sectioned into 5 µ m successive slides, dewaxed in routine, managed with 3% H202 to block the endogenic peroxidase, rinsed with PBS, and incubated with 10% goat serum under 37? for 15 min. With the serum discarded, the sample was co-incubated with rabbit anti-human 5-HT multi-colony antibody (primary antibody, product of Zhongshan Company, China) under 37? for 1 h and under 4? overnight, then incubated in turn with 25-50 µg/mL biotin labeled secondary antibody (SP-9000, product of Zhongshan Company, China) under 30? for 40 min; followed by incubation with 25-50 µg/mL horse radish peroxidase labeled streptavidin, and after PBS rinsing, colored by 0.05% diaminobenzidine, terminated with water in time, hematoxylin stained, then hyalinized to make a neutral resin slide.
The blank negative control was made in the same procedure but PBS was used instead of primary antibody; the tissue of the appendix was used as the positive control.
5-HT+C Count
The stained 5-HT+C presented principally in cell plasma, showed itself to be brown-yellow, yellow or jasmine, which indicated the different degrees of positive responses such as strong positive, positive and weak positive respectively. Cells failing to be colored were regarded as serotonin negative cells.
The number of 5-HT+C in 5 high power visual fields (upper, lower, left, right, and middle) in each slide was counted with an Olympus laser cofocusing scanning microscope type FV500, and their sum was brought into analysis.
Statistical Analysis
Paired t-test was used for comparison of data before and after treatment in the same group, variance analysis for difference between groups, and X2 test for classified variable like age and sex. All were managed by SAS 6.12 software.
Changes in Immunohistochemical Figures
The positive colored site was mainly located at the plasma of glandular cells. Before treatment, 0-3 5-HT+C in each glandule with a few infiltration of lymphocytes and neutrophils around it could be seen in all samples of the three groups. After
treatment, the 5-HT+C and infiltration were reduced in all groups, but the reduction in group B was more significant, and the lymphocytes and neutrophils around the glandular organ were reduced significantly (Figure 1).
Comparison of the Number of 5-HT+C
The number of 5-HT+C in the three groups were different insignificantly before treatment (P>0.05), but it reduced in all groups after treatment, showing significant difference as compared with those before treatment (P<0.05). Inter-group comparison showed that significant difference was only shown in the
comparison between the control group and the two test groups (P<0.05, P<0.01), while insignificance was shown between the two test groups (P>0.05). However, the decrease in group B seemed rather more evident (Table 1).
IBS is one of the functional intestinal diseases often encountered. As a neuro-transmitter closely related with mental psychic factor, the action of 5-HT in IBS has been studied deeply. On the account that it is the main inflammatory mediator for intestinal secretion and abnormal feeling, many drugs for IBS treatment targeted on various subtypes of 5-HT receptors have been synthesized and effectively applied in clinical practice, among which, the 5-HT3 receptor antagonist displays a more prominent effect for IBS-D(1).
Through literature review, Gershon, et al(4) held that various degrees of 5-HT signal transmission abnormality exist in all IBS patients and other intestinal dysfunction patients, which might be the pathogenetic basis for IBS. Our previous study showed that gut mucosal concentration of 5-HT and its related neuro-endocrinal cells, as intestinal pheochromocyte, play an important role in the pathogenesis of IBS(5,6).
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) holds that IBS-D belongs to the categories of "loosing bowel", "abdominal pain" and "melancholia". For its pathogenesis, ancient doctors suggested the theory of "Gan-disease passing to Pi" in such ancient medical books as "Nan-jing and "Jingui Yaolue "; while recent reports indicated that the often seen TCM syndrome of IBS-D is stagnated Gan-qi attacking Pi, and other syndromes would always develop from it(7); Gan and Pi are acting and impacting mutually in the pathological process. The transporting and transforming function of Pi depends on the catharsis of Gan, its hyperfunction or hypofunction could induce the dysfunction of Pi to form the pathological basis of IBS-D.
SJG is a pure Chinese herbal compound medicine made on the basis of experiences accumulated for many years, which consists of ten odd kinds of Chinese drugs, such as nutgrass galingale rhizome, white atractylodes rhizome, tangerine peel and notoginseng, ect. SJG has the effects of smoothening Gan, strengthening Pi, regulating qi and activating blood circulation, and is applied in clinical practice for the treatment of diarrhea, abdominal pain and distention, poor appetite, etc. Experimental studies showed that SJG can regulate the concentration of mediators of inflammation of tissues in the animal model of ulcerative colitis to inhibit the inflammation of the intestinal tract(8); and compared with the Western medicine, the pure Chinese preparation has a better efficacy in treating patients with IBS-D, with fewer adverse reactions found(9).
On the basis of the syndrome differentiation criteria suggested by Chen ZS, et al(3), IBS patients of SGAP type matching the Rome ? diagnostic standard of diarrhea type were enrolled in this study. The results showed that before treatment, the numbers of 5-HT+C in the three groups were not different significantly. After treatment, although the number decreased in all the three groups, the decrement in the two test groups was more statistically significant than that in the control group, while the difference between the two test groups was insignificant. Accordingly, it was deduced that SJG possibly impacts on the genesis of IBS-D, but it is not the only influencing factor. SJG possibly plays its action through 5-HT+C, the vital endocrinal cell in 5-HT signal transmitting path, and the combining of SJG with Smecta might be cooperative and could enhance the effect on the path.
Besides, the number of 5-HT+C also decreased significantly in the control group, in which patients were treated with simple cognition-behavior therapy and diet-control, which further illustrated that the influencing factors on the gut mucosal 5-HT signal transmitting path might be multiple. This result coincides with the outcome of the authors' previous study(6). Since it has been reported that the intestinal content of 5-HT in the fasting condition is different from that of postprandial(10), to avoid the influence of errors on the results, all the sampled biopsy for the test in this study were obtained in fasting condition.
All problems concerning changes of other cytokines and chemical mediators of gut mucosal 5-HT signal transmitting path in IBS patients, and molecular mechanisms that could affect the number of 5-HT+C remain to be further studied.
In sum, SJG, as a Chinese composite preparation for treatment of IBS patients of SGAP type or diarrhea type, might have an effect on the intestinal neuro-endocrinal network partly by way of influencing the number of gut mucosal 5-HT+C, thus realizing its clinical effect on patients. Besides, when SJG is used in combination with conventional recognition-behavior therapy and symptomatic treatment of Western medicine, it shows an apparent synergistic action on 5-HT+C.

I assume you're here because you're suffering from testicle pain, and just like other blokes with painful testicles you want to know why they're sore and the best way to treat the problem. Or is your reason more a concern that the pain is caused by something more serious like testicular cancer. It's perfectly natural for any man to worry about testicle pain with all the stories you hear, but its best you turn a deaf ear to hearsay. The only person you should listen too is you're GP. Painful or swollen testicles can be a result of an injury, so pain in this area does not necessarily mean cancer. Not all cancers bring pain and testicular cancer is usually one of those. Pain or no pain, if you feel a lump in your testicle then you must see your doctor.
I understand for some guys having a stranger mess about with their mebs is not something they may relish, but holding back in seeking help – then these same men later down the line might have no choice but to allow a queue of strangers to be touchy feely with them. Guys just like women get easily embarrassed over having to show their private parts, but it has to be done, so pluck up your courage and seek medical advice if you have testicle pain.
Sudden, severe testicle pain shouldn't be ignored
Testicle pain is soreness in one or both testicles which can spread to the lower abdomen. The testicles are the two rounded balls located inside the scrotum (sac.) Some conditions that affect the male will have him suffer from abdominal pain first before testicle pain kicks in. One condition to name is testicular torsion.
Testicular torsion causes testicle twisting. Due to distortion the blood supply is cut off and causes tissue to die. It is a very serious condition which requires urgent attention. The condition is mostly diagnosed in young men between ages of 10 to 20 years old
Let us take a look at what might be causing your testicle pain
Testicular torsion
Possible infections:
Epididymitis is a condition which causes inflammation of the epididymis (a curved structure to the rear of the testicle where sperm ripens and is kept.) It can cause mild discomfort to the more severe. It's typical to see the scrotum swell, turn red and feel warm. Epididymitis is the common cause of scrotal pain, and normally an outcome of a complication of a urinary system infection, and bacteria being primarily the cause. The sexually transmitted disease gonorrhoea was once listed as the chief cause. Over time things have changed and now it is more known to be brought about by chlamydia. Main symptom is inflammation of the ducts where sperm leaves the testicle. Another condition caused by bacteria, or virus, is Orchitis which is an inflammation of testicle tissue.
Swollen testicles (swelling) can occur because of many factors, and one to mention is fluid. There are many sorts of fluid collection:
Varicocele affects the veins in the scrotum causing them to become enlarged. These veins carry blood away from the testicles.
Spermatocele is fluid in the epididymis that forms a cyst which normally holds dead sperm cells.
Hydrocele is commonly found in newborns. (Fluid filled scrotum.)
Another obvious reason for testicle pain could be a hernia…which is a result of weakness in the muscular wall of the abdomen. Due to the weakness a ring of intestine can easily thrust through causing a lump to form on the outside. A large hernia located in the groin region can work its way down into the scrotum making it look chunkier. Soreness suffered is more abdominal pain rather than scrotal, and can worsen with bouts of coughing or sneezing. Surgery to repair underlying muscle weakness is called "herniorrhaphy."
As with most conditions you have to be careful to what they might lead to if not treated right away. It's imperative you act on the sighting of a lump in your testicle, inflammation, swelling and pain sooner than later. Testicular torsion the condition mentioned earlier can lead to infertility if treated to late, so early treatment is the best and only way you can help prevent this from happening to you.
If you're testicle pain is caused by a minor injury or fluid buildup, then pain relief medicine might help ease soreness and reduce swelling if any.
Self help advice:
You can help support the scrotum by wearing a athletic supporter
Apply an icepack to the scrotum
Warm water helps reduce inflammation
Place a rolled towel under your scrotum when lying flat on your back
Take pain killers such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen.
Aspirin should not be given to children
It is always better to be safe than sorry, so should you experience severe or sudden pain in and around the groin, or you have damaged the scrotum though injury, or if you are physically sick then get medical attention.
You are not to ignore symptoms like
A lump in the scrotum
High fever
The scrotum is warm, red, or sore to the touch
Most men with problems that affect their penis, testicles and scrotum worry more over how the actual diagnosis of their condition is determined. This brings us back to the issue mentioned earlier about being embarrassed, and how men hate the idea of having someone they don't know fiddle with their tackle. Medics in emergency rooms on a wide scale treat men in the thousands daily for penal conditions, and are there to treat and cure problems, and not ogle your bits. Your member and its two mates are just the same as the next blokes so doctors won't be taking a blind bit of notice of how you're John Thomas looks unless he/she has to examine three balls…so go get yourself checked.
There is nothing to fear when having a physical examination. Your GP will focus on the groin, testicles, and abdomen. To give an accurate diagnosis your GP will need to know a little about your medical background. He/she may ask questions like
How long have you had testicular pain
Is it one or both testicles that's affected
Did the pain start suddenly
Is the pain regular or irregular
How bad is the pain
Is the pain easing or getting worse
Is there pain in the abdomen or back
Have you injured yourself
Have you had an infection
Have you been treated for an STD
Is there something in particular you do that makes the pain worse
Does the pain disappear with medication
What symptoms do you have (swelling, redness, urine color, high fever, or unexplained weight loss)
After your consultation with the doctor the following diagnostic tests may be carried out:
Ultrasound of the testicles
Inspection of prostate secretions
Treatment may include:
Untwisting of the testicle
Surgery to repair testicular torsion (if untwisting failed)
Antibiotics to clear infections
Surgical drainage or removal of an abscess (uncommon)
Surgery for a varicocele, a hydrocele, or spermatocele, more so if the varicocele is threatening infertility
If you have testicle pain then get it checked out. It may only take a pill popping course to remedy the problem.
If you come from my part of the world and you're "feeling down" people tend to say that life's one "Big Ball Ache". So in you're case it looks like you have both. So why not kill two birds with one stone and put a stop to you're worrying and soothe them aching balls.

Rid the pain from Swollen Testicles
In order to relieve lower back pain, exercises and stretches are an important component of any treatment plan. Certain exercises can also prevent lower back pain, and future injuries from occurring. Patients with lower back pain need to strengthen weak muscles and lengthen tight muscles and fascia in the back. Research has shown that with patients with lower back pain should not perform sit-up exercises because it can put additional stress on the lower back causing more damage. There are three exercises that have shown to reduce lower back pain and strengthen the muscles in your lower back.
The first stretching exercise is called "cat/camel." To perform this exercise you will start on your hands and knees. Once you are on your hands and knees you will arch your middle back like a cat arching their back and curl your head forward looking down at the ground. Once in the cat position hold this position for a count of five seconds. Next, you are going to flatten your middle back, looking up with your head and arch your lower back like a camel. Once in the camel position hold this position for a count of five seconds. Repeat both motions three times for a total of thirty seconds. Perform this exercise twice per day.
The second strengthening exercise is called "bird dog." To perform this exercise again you start on your hands and knees. Once you are on your hands and knees, the first step is to tighten your abdominals. To do this suck your navel towards your spine and brace your abdominals as if you were about to get punched in your stomach. You should be able to hold this contracted position and be able to breathe normally. Once your abdominals are tight, then you are going to extend your right arm straight out and at the same time extend your left leg straight out. Your arm and leg should be as straight as possible, all while maintaining a contracted abdominal core. While in this position hold for a count of five seconds and then return to start position. Next you will extend your left arm out straight and extend your right leg straight out. Hold this position for a count of five seconds. Repeat these two positions, six times total.
The third strengthening exercise is called a "side plank." To perform a side plank you will start out laying on the floor on your right side resting your body weight on your right forearm keeping your torso, pelvis, and legs in a straight line. Next, you are going to suck your navel towards your spine, contracting your abdominals, while still being able to breathe normal. With your abdominals contracted you are going to push up into the plank position resting your body weight on your right forearm and having your torso, pelvis and knees off the ground in a straight position. Your forearm and lower leg and feet should be the only area contacting the ground. Once in the plank position you will hold this position for 30 seconds. Next, switch sides so that you are starting on your left side and repeat the same plank procedure on the left side. Hold this position for 30 seconds. Perform this exercise for a total of two sets on both the right and left sides.
Perform these exercises three to four times per week to help relieve and prevent lower back pain. These exercise not only will help to alleviate and prevent lower back pain but they will also improve your posture and improve your overall health and fitness.

5 historic stained glass windows saved from Darlaston church rededicated
Posted: May 04, 2014|
LAST Sunday afternoon five historic stained glass windows, which had been saved from St Andrew's Church in Kings Hill, Darlaston, and relocated in Darlaston Town Hall, were rededicated at a special service.
The windows by the renowned Smethwick stained glass artist Florence Camm were recovered by the Moxley And Dangerfield Action Group with the help of Walsall Council.
Three of them are dedicated to the fallen of World War One from the parish.
In February 2013, Action Group members Zara Kimbley, Ann Bond, Carol Mincher, Sue Steatham, Laurence Steatham and Independent Councillors Paul and Christine Bott were told that St Andrew's Church, which had been closed since 2009, had been sold and the building could be demolished to make way for flats.
Their research discovered that the five windows of St Bartholomew, St Andrew, Our Lord As The Good Shepherd, St George and St Chad were manufactured by T. W. Camm, Smethwick, one of the most important stained glass manufacturers of this area at the time.
"We decided that they should, if at all possible be saved and displayed for public access," said action group member Sue Steatham.
Documents at Sandwell Archives also assisted their research including a newspaper report of May 1919 detailing the Service of Dedication of the three windows St Andrew, Our Lord, St George as a memorial to those from St Andrew's Parish who had given their lives in the Great War.
During a visit to the church the group noted that the windows included signature panels with the names of Florence, Robert and Walter Camm as designers and manufacturers. Florence was an eminent artist, believed to be the only woman working in stained glass design and manufacture at that time.
The St Bartholomew window includes a dedication inscription panel to Samuel Hancock, first people's warden of the church. The St Chad window includes a dedication inscription to Sarah Hancock, wife of Samuel. Both windows were dedicated by their son Joseph and dated 1922.
"The small World War plaque has already been removed to St Bartholomew's but we are very pleased to have been informed that this will also be reunited with the memorials in the Town Hall," said Sue.
She added: "Our group are immensely pleased and proud to have worked on this fascinating project. It has been a once in a lifetime opportunity. We send our very grateful thanks to everyone who has provided guidance and assistance during this project. Without them the relocation of these memorials would not have been possible."

Berry: Issue 2 and Government Deficits: Who's to Blame?Written by Thomas Berry | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Opponents to Issue 2 are trying to assign blame for the state's budget problems. From the We Are (Not) Ohio website, http://action.weareohio.com/page/s/issue2primer, under the screamer headline "HURTS US ALL":
- "Instead of creating jobs to fix our economy, politicians like Gov. Kasich gave away hundreds of millions in corporate tax breaks—draining our state budget without creating jobs—and passed flawed laws like SB 5 to pay back their campaign donors.
- "Teachers, nurses, firefighters are not the reason Ohio's budget is in trouble. Big corporations, their high-paid lobbyists and the politicians they fund are blaming middle class Ohioans for a problem they caused."
The history of politicians doing themselves and their backers favors while shafting everyone else is long and rich, although calling SB5 an example of this is quite a stretch. Given how the growing scandals involving Obama backers who were enriched by the Porkulus bill are illustrating them, the claims quoted above look credible. "Just like the politicians to do that," you say, so you vote no.
Not so fast.
The politicians are indeed to blame for the deficit, but not because of tax cuts, handouts or any such thing. They are to blame for reckless spending. Quoting a Buckeye Institute report athttp://buckeyeinstitute.org/the-liberty-wall/2011/03/01/new-report-six-principles-for-fixing-ohio/:
Over the last 19 years, Ohio's budget outpaced inflation by 41 percent even after adjusting for population growth plus inflation. If spending had been restrained to inflation plus population growth, Ohio would have a substantial budget surplus.
In other words, politicians create deficits. No one with any sense is blaming "teachers, nurses, firefighters" (sic) for government budget woes. No public worker at any level gets a dime, be it for inflated salaries, lavish benefits or rich pensions taken at early retirement, without the politicians' approval. Some spending is mandatory, either to fulfill constitutional responsibilities or because of unfunded federal mandates. Much is discretionary. But a sizable chunk is handouts, not to corporate benefactors, but to public employees who vote to keep the gravy train rolling.
We Are (Not) Ohio decries the lack of jobs in the state. So do I. But it is not the role of the government to create jobs. Indeed: The only jobs the government creates are public employee jobs. This suits the public employee unions just fine, but the rest of us pay for them. Private sector employers are the real job creators, but to do so in Ohio they must bear several burdens: High taxes (in part to pay public employees), high utility costs, high regulation, and high labor costs. The unions can thank themselves for that last, and the progressives they keep electing for most of the rest.
When an evil corporation, to borrow We Are (Not) Ohio's imagery, can choose between hiring where costs of doing business are higher as opposed to lower, the latter is the only rational choice. Consequently, the land of higher costs has fewer good-paying jobs, and fewer employers making a good profit. As jobs and profits decline, so does taxable revenue; but the politicians continue to spend beyond those revenues, thus creating deficits.
Taxes on high earners can be raised through the roof on the pretext of increasing revenues; but if there are fewer people and, especially, businesses at those earning levels, nothing is gained. Indeed, harm is done because less money will be available in the private sector for job creation and spending.
Thus, politicians, rather than public sector employees, are responsible for deficits because they fail to encourage economic conditions favorable to creation of increased taxable revenue on the one hand, and to limit spending to revenues collected on the other.
We Are (Not) Ohio is marvelously disingenuous in blaming "big corporations" and their lobbyists. It is exactly what it condemns. Over half of its funds come from Big Labor lobbyists – the AFL-CIO, Communication Workers of America, and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), all based in Washington, aka Lobbyland.
AFSCME and, through affiliation, the AFL-CIO have a legitimate dog in the fight. I can understand why they don't want well-paid public employee members to give up anything. But Big Labor, which represents only 13.7% of Ohio workers, is most certainly not Ohio when it wants to protect those glorious perks at the expense of the other 86.3% of us. Even its own members outside AFSCME have to pay for the inflated public sector benefits handed out by the politicians.
Continued irresponsible spending at all levels of government is what truly, in We Are (Not) Ohio's words, "hurts us all." Issue 2 is an effort to enforce a semblance of responsibility.
I am Ohio, and so is every Ohioan who favors Issue 2.

This couple was the 17th to be issued a marriage license in Dona Ana County.
Photo: Maria Guerro, KOB Eyewitness News 4
LAS CRUCES -- Same-sex couples can now receive marriage licenses in Doña Ana County.
So far, the clerk's office confirms 11 marriage licenses have been issued to same-sex couples since County Clerk Lynn Ellins made the announcement on Wednesday morning.
Ellins said that he had been considering issuing licenses since last June, when New Mexico Attorney General Gary King said New Mexico's ban on issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples was unconstitutional.
After the New Mexico Supreme Court declined to issue a ruling on marriage licenses for same-sex couples last week, Ellins decided to take action in his county. He issued the following statement:
"That means it could be many months or years before the matter is resolved. In the meantime, I am mindful that I took an oath of office to uphold the Constitution of the State of New Mexico as Doña Ana County Clerk.
"I am an attorney, and I have read the AG's opinion, and I find it to be sound. After careful review of New Mexico's laws it is clear that the state's marriage statutes are gender neutral and do not expressly prohibit Doña Ana County from issuing marriage licenses to same-gender couples.
"Any further denial of marriage licenses to these couples violates the United States and New Mexico Constitution and the New Mexico Human Rights Act. Doña Ana County is upholding New Mexico law by issuing these marriage licenses, and I see no reason to make committed couples in Doña Ana County wait another minute to marry."
Gov. Susana Martinez told KOB Eyewitness News 4 her reaction to the news.
"You know right now, I've always been really clear about where I stand in reference to marriage and that it is between a man and a woman," she said. "If that should change, that should be a change that is made by the people."
Equality New Mexico told KOB that Ellins' decision is a step in the right direction.
"Our hope is that this morning's action will further demonstrate the need for such expedited consideration," the group said in a statement.
Ellins said couples requesting marriage license will no longer be turned down, and starting today, licenses will be issued at the Doña Ana County Government Center. For information about New Mexico marriage license requirements, call the Doña Ana County Clerk's Office at (575) 647-7421.

What Do Pregnancy Cravings Really Mean?
Tamsen Carson, Physician Assistant
Cravings are a very natural part of pregnancy, and there are a lot of reasons why we crave certain foods. The body is a finely tuned machine during pregnancy, and if you pay attention to exactly what you are craving, you will be healthy, gain a normal amount of weight and have more energy.
The prenatal vitamins you take give you the vitamins and minerals your diet is missing, but it's also very important to eat well to get what those vitamins can't give you.
If you are craving pickles your body may be telling you it wants more sodium. If you are craving a cheese burger and fries you may be looking for protein. Try to pay attention to your cravings and decipher what messages your body might be sending you.
Sometimes, you may have cravings for non-food items like chalk, ice, dirt, or laundry soap. First, do not eat these things. Second do not worry, this happens often in pregnancy, it is called Pica. It can often mean you have a lack of minerals, but most likely an iron deficiency.
Tell your doctor as soon as you start craving these things, and they may want to check your iron levels. To find a doctor visit renown.org/findadoc.

Welcome to the Online Bachelor of Science in Technology Management Degree website. The Technology Management option is specifically designed for students who have earned accredited Associate of Applied Science degrees in technically-oriented programs and desire to complete a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) Degree in Technology Management.
This option is also available to students with a recognized national certification or exam score and three years of related work experience. If you are a new Technology Management option online student and/or this is your first time viewing the page, please use the important information to assist you in planning your progress towards graduation and determining the next step you need to take.
We're here to help you! If you have additional questions contact:
Students post questions and comments to the course's asynchronous threaded discussion forum. This allows students to hold conversations with other classmates and the instructor without having to be online at the same time. Forum discussions are generally archived so they can be accessed at a later point in the course as needed. In addition to the forum, students can also communicate with classmates and the instructor through private messages within the course or through the Southeast Key email address. Students post assignments and read lessons on the course website as well.
The course website may also have a section for exams and quizzes, administered online, as well as the course grade book. The exams and quizzes are generally timed and may be multiple choice, short essay, or long essay in format. Testing will vary from course to course, from the types required to how many are required during the semester. Some courses may require proctored exams, while others do not.
We highly recommend completing our demonstration course to see how our courses are organized and test the technology used. Any interested person can create a username and login in order to try the course, and current Southeast students can use their Southeast Key for quick access. We also suggest reading through our Online Student Guidebook for a more detailed explanation, preparation tips and other helpful resources.
Our online courses follow the traditional semester calendar at Southeast. Most fall or spring semester classes will run approximately 16 weeks, while summer courses vary from 4 weeks to 8 weeks depending upon the session of the course.
Online courses require frequent access as they follow the traditional semester calendar at Southeast. Even though students may not have to "be" in class on some specific day and time, they must still follow the established deadlines for the submission of course assignments. Thus, students should have consistent Internet access throughout the duration of the course. In case of an absence, arrangements should be made to submit assignments ahead of the posted schedule. Students should log in to your course multiple times each week to keep up with new content as it is posted, as well as check your Southeast email account for important updates.
Online courses require a proactive approach to learning. In an online course, instructors may serve more as facilitators of learning rather than being directly in charge of the discussion. Online courses require active participation by each student and are not independent study in nature. Also, students need to speak up right away with questions or problems to ensure their success in the course. Both the instructor and other classmates may be able to help depending upon the questions you have.
Learning Style- Due to the nature of online learning, many courses may have a greater amount of reading and writing than do many face-to-face courses. Students who prefer visual and written learning methods often thrive in the online learning environment, while students who prefer oral learning methods may find online courses to be more challenging. For more information on your learning style and helpful study tips for your individual style, we recommend taking the free VARK assessment online.
Time Commitments - Expect to spend at least as much time working on an online course as a traditional face-to-face course. On average, students should expect to spend about 3 hours per week for each full-term credit hour enrolled in the fall or spring semester. Expect to spend double that for an 8 week course (6 hours of study/credit hour) and four times that for an accelerated 4 week course (12 hours of study/credit hour).
System Requirements – Students must not necessarily own a computer, but they must have regular access to a computer that meets the minimum system requirements for taking online courses. Please refer to our list of system requirements for PC and Mac for more information. We also offer a system diagnostic program to walk students through the process and check some requirements automatically.
Computer Literacy– Students should also have certain computer literacy skills in order to successfully complete an online course. The following skills are critical to successful completion of an online course:
If you've not done so already, please take some time to read our Online Orientation Web site and become familiar with Southeast Online and the services and information available for online degree students. We also recommend that you read our Southeast Online Handbook and try our demonstration course to get the feel for our online classroom structure. Your admission letter should include your Southeast ID number, which you will need in order to access other aspects of the university.
If you are a new transfer student or a returning student with transfer credit, your file will be evaluated for precise course transferability. Once evaluation is complete, the Registrar will mail both you a copy of your full evaluation and advising information. Once this evaluation process is complete, you can begin working with me, Amanda Eller, to select available courses that match your remaining degree requirements and your interests.
If you are a returning student, please check with Student Financial Services (573-651-2253) before contacting me for advising and enrollment. If you owe any balance from your past attendance, you will be prevented from registering until the amount is paid, and it is better to discover this early in the process so you have ample time to correct the situation.
As an online degree student, we will do our best to assist you in registering in your desired number of hours. For the best selection we highly recommend you complete your advising and attempt to register on your Priority Registration Date, which is based upon credit hours completed. If you cannot secure your full course load or necessary graduation requirements through open enrollment, please contact me as soon as possible.
The pace for each course is already established, and you will want to check for updates each day. Our online courses follow the same timeline as their face-to-face counterparts. You can schedule accordingly and work ahead as assignments are announced, but you must meet your course deadlines to receive full credit. The full semester calendar, including holidays and drop deadlines, is available on the Registrar's website.
This is a matter I discuss individually with each advisee. Remember that online courses require the same amount of work as face-to-face courses, but a different format. Be sure to consider the amount of time spent weekly between employment, family and recreation. Students can take as little as one course (3-5 hours) each semester or as many as 18 hours during the regular fall and spring terms. You must take at least 6 hours to qualify for your financial aid awards. To be considered full-time, you must have at least 12 hours for the fall or spring semester. Most online courses are 3 credit hours.
If your cumulative (overall) GPA is less than 2.0, then you will be limited to the following:
To use the student portal site, you must first activate your SE Key. Go to portal.semo.edu. Under the login area, click the link for SE Key Activation. Enter your Southeast ID (SXXXXXXXX) and day and year of birth to begin the activation process. Be sure you write down your new SE Key as well as the password you just established. You will use this information to access all services within the portal, including your online courses and Southeast email. Your email address will simply be email@example.com. I also recommend that you set up the Password Reset Facility in case you forget your new password. Here is the link for step by step instructions on activating a Southeast Key: http://www6.semo.edu/helpdesk/Resources/tutorials/sekey.asp
If you have problems in activating your SE Key, please contact the Information Technology Help Desk at 573.651.4357. If you have activated your SE Key and cannot remember your password, there is only one way to reset it remotely:
Send a fax to 573.651.2200 of a photo ID along with your Southeast ID number (SXXXXXXXX), signature, and the new password you desire. Make sure that your password follows the established rules (at least 3 of 4 elements from these criteria - upper case, lower case, symbols, numbers) or Information Technology will be unable to reset it for you.
In the event of a name change, you must first update your record in the Office of the Registrar. If you unsure of your current status, please visit the Personal Information menu in the portal to confirm. To update, send a fax to 573.651.5155 of proof of name change (social security card, court ordered document, driver's license), your Southeast ID number (SXXXXXXXX), your request to update your name, and your signature.
Once your name is correct in the database, you may then email Nancy with your old name, your new name and your Southeast ID number.
This is the general outline for the BS Technology Management: Technology Management option, but keep in mind that each individual situation is unique and that transfer credit will affect what is needed to graduate. You must meet all sub-requirements, even if this causes you to surpass the 120 hour minimum for the degree.

The WP003 is a writing assessment checkpoint that must be passed for graduation. There is no fee for taking this assessment, but it is required for graduation. Southeast wants to ensure that all students are maintaining their writing skills obtained in those initial composition courses. Upon successful completion of EN140 (English Composition II/Rhetoric and Critical Thinking) and at least 75 credit hours, you may register for this assessment. Be sure to click the CRN link on the class schedule to see which date the assessment is being offered. New transfer students with more than 90 hours completed are waived from this assessment.
Scoring criteria, scoring scales and sample essays are available through the Writing Outcomes Web site. If you do not pass the assessment, you must contact Writing Outcomes and ask to submit a portfolio as your second chance opportunity. This portfolio option generally occurs over the duration of the semester with scheduled checkpoints. However, most students pass the assessment without difficulty.
This assessment may be completed either online or at a campus convenient to you. If you wish to take the assessment in person, you must bring two valid forms of identification - and you may register on open enrollment. If you wish to take the online assessment, contact me to request registration. You must be an online degree student to obtain approval for this section. In the online version, you will be provided a particular 24 hour window in which to take the approximately 2 hour assessment. The online version is only offered once each fall and spring semesters.
The Career Services initiative is a four part sequence designed to assist students with career planning and goals as they progress to graduation. Thus, when you graduate with your degree, you will also know how to effectively market yourself. This is required for all students beginning at Southeast Fall 2005 or beyond or students returning to Southeast after an absence of one or more terms. If you are unsure whether this applies to you, please contact me for clarification. There are no fees associated with registering for these checkpoints.
Any student may request individual career planning assistance, regardless of whether the full CLxxx sequence is required. Please refer to the Career Services frame with the My Southeast Portal, located in the left column of the Student tab, for more information.
New students will take CL001 and CL002 at the same time as their UI100 First Year Seminar course. New transfers or returning students with a large number of hours are permitted to enroll for CL001 and CL002 during the same semester. CL003 and CL004 are typically completed different semesters. Student with over 90 credits hours upon transferring to Southeast (or returning after a prolonged absence) will be exempt from parts CL001-CL003.
To register for one of the CL checkpoints, please contact me.

Criteria for entering student to enroll in MX001 (section according to location for Regional Campuses):
Students must complete the MAPP 1 entrance exam by the deadline date prior to the next semester registration to avoid receiving an Academic Hold. If an academic hold is received, the student must take the MAPP 1 entrance exam before the hold can be lifted.
Criteria for taking MAPP 2 Exit Exam
Must have completed 90 semester hours before registering for MAPP 2 Exit Exam
Students are to register for the MAPP 2 Exit Exam via Testing Services website.
Online students will be required to take the MAPP 1 and MAPP 2 as prescribed in the above description. These students will need to find a proctor to administer the exam near their location. Proctoring information can be found at the following link at the Testing Services website.
Testing Services will coordinate proctoring procedures with the student. Online-students may contact Testing Services at 573-651-2836 or email@example.com
As an online student, you have the flexibility to complete your academic advising by phone, email or in person. Email is the preferred method as no appointment is required and both parties then have written records of the discussion. You must confirm degree requirements and course selection each semester with your advisor before you will be permitted to register. Once you have completed this, you will receive your new alternate PIN for registration purposes. If you have elected to place a confidentiality hold on your account, you are only permitted to complete your advising through your Southeast Key email.
Course registration generally begins in the following pattern:
Registration priority is based upon your completed credit hours on file at Southeast. You can determine your earliest date to register by checking the most recent chart here. The earlier you discuss your course options with me and begin registration, the better selection of courses you will have available. If you are unable to get your target number of credit hours or specific requirements for degree goals, please contact me as soon as possible.
Registration opens at 7 a.m. daily and closes at 9 p.m. If you attempt to access the menu outside of this time range, you will receive a message that misleads you to believe your alternate PIN is not correct. Please try again during the scheduled hours before contacting myself or technical support for assistance.
To check course availability and register, login the My Southeast Portal and choose the Student tab. Enter My Southeast Self-Service and select the Student and Financial Aid menu, then choose Registration. A how-to guide is available to walk you through the process.
If you need to drop a course, please check the refund schedule to see what percentage, if any, you will receive back. Your textbook refund is determined by its postmark date. Please note that your financial aid could be adversely affected by dropping a course -- please consult Student Financial Services before you drop your course. You will need your alternate PIN to be able to drop a course. Simply change the drop down menu beside the course you wish to drop and submit your changes. After doing so, the drop down option should disappear and the course will be designated as dropped within the semester.
The first step is to find the course description in either the University Studies Handbook (only University Studies courses) or the University Bulletin (all courses). Some courses will not have pre-requisites, while others may require certain University Studies categories (i.e. Living Systems, Social Systems, Political Systems) or even specific courses (i.e. SC105, PS103 or PS104, MA134 and AD101). Still other courses may state junior standing (60 hours) or senior standing (90 hours) in order to take the course.
Course levels:
The second step is to check your Unofficial Transcript in Self-Service. This will show all courses completed and in progress to help you remember what you have already taken. If you have credit that is over 10 years old, next check the title on the needed pre-requisite(s). If you are still uncertain, you should confirm your selection with me as some course numbers may have changed since you completed the course (i.e. US101 = US105, MA136 = MA140, EN150 = EN140).
The registration system is NOT currently designed to check pre-requisites except in rare cases. It is your responsibility as a student to make sure you are not only prepared for your next course, and that you will not be dropped by the department when they realize you lack the proper prerequisites. Most departments check rosters in close proximity to the semester start, and I may be unable to assist you in finding a replacement.
After finding your attempted hours on your Unofficial Transcripts (Student Records submenu of Student & Financial Aid within the portal), you can use this guide to Calculating GPA to play "what if" with your current or future courses. Any courses starting with the number 0 should not be included in the calculations (i.e. MA090, CH081, etc).
Students who have a cumulative GPA under 2.0 ('C' average) are placed on academic probation. Academic probation students are limited to 12 hours in the fall or spring or 6 hours in the summer semester. Students must achieve a 2.0 semester GPA to demonstrate continued improvement or they will be suspended from the University for one fall/spring semester. Students who are readmitted after sitting out and who fall on probation a second time will be disqualified for one full academic year. Additionally, students on academic probation may find limitations in regards to available financial aid.
The fastest way to raise GPA is to repeat courses of 'D' or 'F' grades. Southeast has a policy of grade replacement, in that only the most recent attempt will be counted towards your GPA. (All attempts will remain a part of your academic record, however.)
All students have access to their DegreeWorks degree audit report via the Southeast Portal. DegreeWorks is a web-based tool to help students and advisors monitor progress toward degree completion. DegreeWorks looks at the degree requirements of the Southeast Missouri State University Undergraduate and Graduate BULLETINS and the coursework completed to produce an easy-to-read audit. The audit is divided into block requirements of how courses, taken or proposed, count toward degree requirements. Checkboxes exist within each block to easily outline what courses and requirements are complete or in-progress.
More information is available at the Registrar's Degreeworks Website
Once you have confirmed remaining requirements with me (and minor if applicable) and you have registered for all courses, you should download the graduation application from the Commencement website Graduation website. Once you have applied, all schedule changes will require approval from the Registrar's Office - and any request for changes will move your application to the end of the list.
You should apply for graduation no later than the FIRST day of classes of your LAST semester. If you are a summer graduate and wish to participate in the commencement exercises for spring (since there is no summer commencement), you must apply for graduation no later than the FIRST day summer registration opens (mid-February). For exact deadlines and dates for submitting paperwork, please visit the commencement Web site. If you have missed the stated deadline, I encourage you to call and/or submit the paperwork -- if they agree to accept you as a late addition, a late fee would also apply.
If you wish to participate in the ceremony, you must return the appropriate documents by the deadlines - otherwise, there will be no cap and gown waiting for you at the Show Me Center! We welcome all online students to participate in the commencement exercises, especially if this will be your first visit to our campus!
Even if you do not wish to participate, you must apply for graduation at the proper time. Otherwise, the Registrar's Office will not know your intentions nor review your eligibility for graduation. Your degree will not be awarded and you will not graduate unless you formally apply by the given deadlines.
Online students can have books and videos from Kent Library at Southeast Missouri
State University, in addition to books from the state-wide lending program MOBIUS,
shipped to their primary residence free of charge. Each library item shipped comes
with a prepaid return envelope. Additionally, materials may be picked up at one of
the over 60 Missouri libraries in the MOBIUS system.
For more assistance on this process, visit Kent Library online at http://library.semo.edu/. Pay special attention to the link for distance learners. Students must be active with the University and use their Southeast ID to access online services.
All Southeast students have access to the Center for Writing Excellence. Students can submit drafts of papers to the center for additional feedback and guidance on the drafting process, walk through writing tutorials to refresh memory or ask individual questions of the writing staff. Please note that the staff will not proofread your entire submission, but rather they seek to work with you in order to teach you how to be a better proofreader as well as clarify any repetitive errors made. If you utilize this resource, please do so well in advance of your submission deadline for the course so you have adequate time for the revision and communication process.
The online submission form will not allow students to submit documents over six pages in length. As an online degree student, you can still receive assistance with longer submissions. Please contact the Writing Center through the above link for more information.
The offices of Learning Assistance Programs and Disability Student Services provide both disability and tutorial assistance to Southeast students. Online students with disabilities may receive assistance by registering with the office as outlined on their Web site. Although tutorial assistance is not available online, online students are welcome to visit them for face-to-face tutorial services and other learning resources. Additionally, if you have difficulty in understanding your materials or assignments, many faculty will answer additional questions via E-mail or phone or refer you to additional resources that may assist you in your studies.
Once you have finalized your schedule, you must request your books at the Textbook Rental website under Textbooks - Textbook Rental - Web/ITV. Their web request form (below costs and instructions) is the easiest way to request your books as it provides a confirmation page for your reference. Your rental fees and shipping fees will be added to your account balance.
Some courses require supplemental materials. After requesting your rental textbooks, check the link on the rental request page to see if your course(s) requires any additional materials for purchase. These materials can be purchased directly from the Southeast Bookstore website.
Requested textbooks begin shipping app. 1-2 weeks before the session starts, and arrival time will vary depending upon the date of your request, your distance from Southeast and the method of shipping you select. You may request your books earlier than this time frame if it is more convenient for you, but the books will not ship until students have returned them from current semester. If you did not receive a confirmation email within 24 hours of submitting your request, please contact Textbook Rental. There may have been a problem with your submission.
If you live close to Cape Girardeau, you are welcome to pick up your books in person the week before classes begin. However, you must bring a copy of your schedule AND a student ID card to receive your books.
There are several options for returning rental textbooks at the end of each semester:
Return textbooks to main campus -- must be received by 4 pm the Monday following finals
Return textbooks to any of the Sikeston, Malden, Kennett, or Perryville regional campuses or the Poplar Bluff site -- must be received by 4 pm the Monday following finals
Return textbooks via mail -- must be postmarked by the Monday following finals

Stone Sour, Skillet & Art of Dying
Electric Factory is proud to present Stone Sour with special guests Skillet & Art of Dying in concert on Wednesday, May 5th @ 8PM. The American rock band will perform at Electric Factory located at 421 N. 7th Street Philadelphia, PA.

Stone Sour, the triple-Grammy nominated group has been playing sold-out shows around the planet in support of 2006s critically acclaimed Come What(ever) May, a sonic blockbuster that entered Billboards Top 200 Album Chart at No. 4 and went on to sell more than a half-million copies on the strength of three radio hits, including the No. 1 smash single, "Through Glass. Billboard hailed the record as an intense, taut piece of work, Alternative Press called the group masters of ass-kicking, adding, In a better America, Stone Sour would be the face of American rock, and Revolver magazine gave the disc four stars and praised the quintet for demonstrating a dynamic range equaled by few of their peers. Four years later, the quintet have returned with a broadened range, a deepened perspective and the determination to make new album Audio Secrecy a multi-layered record free of stylistic limitations.
Alternative CCM rockers Skillet formed in Memphis, TN, around the nucleus of lead singer and bassist John Cooper, guitarist Ken Steorts, and drummer Trey McClurkin. Debuting in 1996 with a self-titled LP, the trio returned two years later with Hey You, I Love Your Soul. Invincible followed in early 2000, and the group contributed three tracks to the Ardent Worship: Skillet Live compilation that same year. With a new lineup of Cooper on bass and lead vocals, his wife Korey Cooper on guitar and keyboards, Ben Kasica on guitar, and Lori Peters on drums, Skillet released Alien Youth on Ardent Records in 2001, followed by Collide, also on Ardent, in 2003. Collide went on to be the band's best-selling album to date (even earning them a Grammy nomination), and the band supported the record on tours with bands like Saliva and Shinedown.
