Guest Post from My Mom, Gee: Stress Reduction 101
Ha…gotcha, didn't I? You know, part of my approach here on Confessions of a Pioneer Woman is to change things up, to keep you on your toes, and to make absolutely no sense from day to day. And in that respect—if in no other—I'm a rip-roaring success!
Today, in keeping with that there-is-no-cohesive-theme-to-this-godforsaken-website approach, here's a post my mom, Gee, wrote for us this morning. Gee, my mom, is a clinical social worker in a cancer center and a mind-body-medicine therapist, which means every time she visits me, she forces me to lie down on my bed, close my eyes and breathe out the stresses and toxins of life. Literally forces me, through emotional and psychological means. Then she performs some sort of bizarre massage ritual on my feet and makes me eat a live chicken. All of this to prove her research-backed belief that in many ways, our health and wellness are directly tied to the level of stress we allow into our lives.
Not really on the live chicken part.
Here's my mom. I hope she helps make your Tuesday more relaxing, stress-free, groovy and centered. As a physician's daughter and natural skeptic when it comes to "alternative medicine", I have to say that the technique my mom is about to describe to you has become a regular, daily exercise for me. And I'd be lying if I didn't say I think she's onto something.
Take it, mom! Sorry I never answer your emails. Don't be hatin'.
Hi, guys—it's Gee, Ree's mom, and I want to talk about breathing today. Breathing: what could be more automatic? Why would I write a tutorial on breath? Well, believe it or not, it's because your breath is one of the most powerful tools you possess for improving your health.
You may never even have noticed that from your first step onto the floor in the morning until the time your head hits the pillow at night, you breathe in shallowly and rapidly according to your emotional state and external stress. You singers and yoga types are with me already, aren't you? This is unconscious breathing. Your emotional state and external stress determines your breathing.
The good news is this: You can turn that around. You can make your breathing determine your emotional state, and this can vastly improve your physical health. It involves learning a simple technique called Soft Belly Breathing (a.k.a., "conscious breathing" or "diaphragmatic breathing").
No pieces of exercise equipment are required; your breath is always with you! What IS required is intention—intention and a minute or two at your desk, on your front porch, waiting in the carpool line, sitting in your physician's waiting room (plenty of evidence exists that belly breathing lowers blood pressure), after an argument with your boss, or, for Ree, while preg-testing cows. It's YOUR intention, YOUR awareness, YOUR experiment…not an imposed agenda.
Why bother to learn belly breathing? Evidence-based research now shows that stress is a component of almost any disease we can name, and that by committing to de-stress, we can promote our own healing. What great news!
You say there's no time in your life for week-long vacations or even twenty-minute meditations? No problem! In one or two minutes, you can halt the secretion of those stress hormones (adrenaline, epinephrine, cortisol) that are are playing havoc with your immune system. Not only that, they are being produced entirely without your permission since they're a product of the autonomic nervous system (meaning they happen automatically.)
The bottom line is this: Stress hormones are toxic to your health, and YOU have the antidote! So, let's get to it! Are you ready to signal your body that you are in charge?
(Note from Ree: My mom seriously does this every time she comes to my house. Welcome to my world.)
Sit in a chair in which you feel comfortable and supported, with your feet on the floor. Soften your belly (Yes, this move is a bit counter-cultural, as we're all about holding it in, aren't we? Ree always has a problem with this part. It's a ballet dancer thing. But don't worry—no one is watching!) Breathe in through your nose and imagine a column of air going directly to your belly and filling the space, almost as if blowing up a balloon. Breathe out slowly through your mouth.
Try it again. Breathe in through your nose, directing the air to the abdominal region…..then out through your mouth. Your upper chest is not moving—only your belly. Continue that breathing and on every outbreath, imagine more tension and worry leaving your body. Breathing in calm…..breathing out tension.
(Note from Ree: I feel it, Mom! I feel it! Ahhhh. I'm letting it happen.)
Hush, Ree. I'm not talking to you. Now, continue with several more belly breaths, then stop and notice where you feel relaxation in your body. Are your shoulders coming down? Are the muscles in your arms, legs, neck letting go and relaxing?
Hooray! You've done a great thing for your health while investing only a couple of minutes! Now, when you think of it throughout your day today (remember, intention is the key), try it again, and again, and again. (Note: If you want, add soft, relaxing music, low light, and continue for 5, 10 or 20 minutes.)
Here's to your health, PW readers! Keep breathing!

I belly breath all the time. Not for stress reasons but it helps me with my asthma. I learned this when I was young. If I was having a asthma attack I would start breathing threw my diaphragm and it would help it go away. Well I guess it would be to relive stress. Stress on my lungs.
Kiran On Tuesday, September 16 at 9:42 am
Hi Gee! So nice to have finally meet u. You are such a beautiful person, by looks and virtue. Thanks for sharing the recipe to de-stress and I would definitely give it a shot!
Mandy On Tuesday, September 16 at 9:43 am
Thank you – I needed that.
krissy On Tuesday, September 16 at 9:44 am
You have no ideal how much I needed this today.
Ahhh….sweet relaxation. Although I am having troubles myself not allowing the chest to move and the belly to relax however, I will keep practicing until I am fully stress free.
What a great momma you have PW.
mosheep/Denise On Tuesday, September 16 at 9:44 am
Thanks for a really great and helpfull post.
I will have to practice because my chest keeps moving when I breath
marcie On Tuesday, September 16 at 9:44 am
Your momma is beautiful.
I'm sitting here breathing…
Mandi On Tuesday, September 16 at 9:45 am
Thanks! I'm going to try this later when my kiddos aren't crawling all over me!
Your mom is very pretty, Ree!
tine On Tuesday, September 16 at 9:46 am
This is just want I needed! Thanks u guys! You guys crack me up. Ree, your momma is a knock out!
Melinda On Tuesday, September 16 at 9:47 am
As a former singer (Is there such a thing? Maybe I should say, "Non-practicing singer, lol), I have experience with this type of breathing. However, I still regularly have to remind myself to breathe this way as my autistic 6 year old jumps up and down on my last nerve It's great for relaxing, feeling stronger, more aware of your body and also good for managing panic attacks without having to take meds (if I catch them in time, that is :P)
Thanks for the great post! I'm off to the shower and to breathe some more
Michelle Davies On Tuesday, September 16 at 9:49 am
Definitely something that I'm going to have try while sitting in a room full of teenagers! Thanks for the tips, Gee.
Melinda On Tuesday, September 16 at 9:50 am
Oh! I also wanted to say, for those that have a hard time keeping their chest/shoulders from moving, imagine that you are holding onto two really heavy suitcases while you do this That's how my music teachers taught us when I was a little thing
UtahZen On Tuesday, September 16 at 9:53 am
Love it! Exactly what i needed this morning. My mom always gets on me about breathing too…guess i need Ree's mom to do it too!
Mary On Tuesday, September 16 at 9:53 am
I'll be trying this as soon as possible. I'm under a great deal of stress right now and I know it is making me feel horrible physically. I'm tired all the time, I have headaches and I just feel achy and out of sorts. It this works for me, I'll be nominating Gee for sainthood. And I'm not even Catholic.
Uncommon Blonde On Tuesday, September 16 at 9:53 am
Hmm … harder than it sounds. Just the post I needed today – too much work to do today and every day! Maybe I need to move to the country.

Blue On Tuesday, September 16 at 9:57 am
your mom's so pretty ree!
i have a strained relationship with my wacky mom. i mean she's got a bullseye on her chest that attracts all manner of scam, scheme, MLM, and "as seen on tv" contraption. to say nothing of her inclination towards anything on the fringe. in fact she's been moving increasingly into the lunatic fringe for the past decade. somehow it escaped the notice of her five children that she hasn't gone to an MD or "traditional medical provider" for over 30 years…since she last gave birth. never had a mammogram, even though her own mom died of breast cancer. stuff like that.
it's tricky to have a conversation with her (especially as I'm married to a Ph.D. who is currently in medical school) and not just go crazy wondering how i descended from someone who thinks that she can just do mental distance healings on people no matter the ailment ("why are any of us still sick then mom?"), or that a teething baby is probably cranky because of trauma during labor etc. it's really astounding to me at times how different we are.
but i admit there are things we don't know a lot about, and breathing is one that i think has a lot of potential for exploration. in the bible it says god breathed the "breath of life" into adam, and that he constantly "lends us breath". i've always kind of imagined that the other end of each of my breaths is kind of connected like an invisible strand or cord to god…tying me to him. it's just an image i have in my mind, but sometimes i like to sit down and slow down and, like the song says, "just breathe!" it's always a peaceful moment. peace is good.
i just noticed that the two comments above me said the same thing about how pretty your mom is. so that's where you get it!
thanks for the guest post insights! fun!
♥, Blue
chocolatechic On Tuesday, September 16 at 9:57 am
Good Lord, Ree……your mom is gorgeous!
You look just like her, except she has gorgeous gray hair. I love her hair!!!
catlover On Tuesday, September 16 at 9:58 am
I'm vindicated! This is one of the ways I relax at night when I'm in bed and my mind won't shut down. I count backwards and do one breath per number. It forces me to concentrate on the breathing and numbers and doesn't let other thoughts in to rev me up. Works great!
OrangeLisa On Tuesday, September 16 at 9:58 am
Not to be practiced lying in bed AFTER the alarm has gone off…
Delaina On Tuesday, September 16 at 9:59 am
i love it! thanks Gee!
sweepea On Tuesday, September 16 at 10:00 am
thanks, GEE, what a timely reminder!
and for all those confused about meditation, what she has described is the backbone of it–nothing more is necessary.
simply making it a priority to do it, especially in those small moments, is the biggest step. and the more regularly you do it, the more you get back when you aren't–
bottom line: any conscious breath is good breath!
YEAH–big grins!!!
Veronica On Tuesday, September 16 at 10:02 am
My mom is no longer with me, so, Gee, so thank you. I appreciate your efforts even if Ree says she does! And that is coming from a stress-relieved state! Feel better all ready. Enjoy your stay at the Ranch.
theresa in alberta On Tuesday, September 16 at 10:03 am
GOSH!!!! You look like your mum. Bring on the so called cheesy romance that is way better than anything Harliquin could ever publish.
Karen from NC On Tuesday, September 16 at 10:03 am
Hi Gee! It is nice to finally meet you!
I love this post! I could have really used the breathing techniques yesterday, as I had an accident while running to answer my cell phone. Too much momentum and wood floors. I ran right into a wall! Thought I was going to pass out. Knocked my glasses off , wrenched my arm and bruised my knee. (How embarassing!) I was shaky for a few hours. By the way, I am a two year breast cancer survivior. Thank God there are people like you that make such a difference in so many lives! God bless you!
Ree, you have a beautiful Mom!
Dee Thompson On Tuesday, September 16 at 10:03 am
This is awesome advice. As a trained singer I can tell you that no matter how perfectly you practice this, your chest IS going to move slightly. However, the main movement should be in your diaphragm and belly.
My voice teacher used to make me lie on the floor with a book on my lower abdomen, to watch how the breathing moved the book.
When I was doing my first adoption and was so stressed out all the time I used to do something similar to this while simultaneously reading Psalm 23, which I kept posted next to my desk. It really helped the stress.
If you're not into bible verses, studying a photo of a calf is fine. [If, unlike me, you're not afraid of cows…!]
[proud to be in the same vowel family as Ree and Gee]
PaulaB On Tuesday, September 16 at 10:03 am
Hi Gee,
I am a believer! I was diagnosed with a panic/anxiety disorder in my early 20's, and one of the techniques they taught us to use was belly breathing. And I will testify that it does work. Whenever I notice I am getting overly anxious, I consciously think about my breathing, and I notice that all my breathing is "up top" where it shouldn't be. I have begun to teach my high-functioning autistic son to do the same thing when he is feeling anxious. It's a blessing…
Paula Archer On Tuesday, September 16 at 10:04 am
My son me reviews this with me everytime he comes. He does Rapid Eye Theapy. I swear it changes you. He makes me visualize the light filling my body with the inhale and the black, dirty toxins leaving as I breathe. When you can visualize the stuff going out as light as what you breathe in, you're done. I swear!
corrie On Tuesday, September 16 at 10:04 am
I think it's great to have more people educated to be more intentioned with their bodies (breathing, visualizing, relaxation). Thank you Gee for a great guest post!!
Wow, Ree!! No wonder you are so accomplished…stress free and prolific!
Hopefully Gee can contribute again!
Laura On Tuesday, September 16 at 10:04 am
You rock Gee! And, you are absolutely right about everything you said.
I had two homebirths–with the first one, I tightened up with every contraction–I ended up pushing for 2 1/2 hours. Lovely experience, magical really, but painful. For the second one, I had read a book called Hypnobirthing, and it changed everything. I breathed my baby out–and pushed only three times!
I breathed in for a count of 4 and out for a count of 8. It was very cleansing and relaxing. I got all sorts of relaxing hormones being released which blocked the pain and sped up delivery.
Now, the trick is to remember to breathe in my every day life, as you suggested.
Nice post. Thanks.

Linda Sandvik On Tuesday, September 16 at 10:09 am
Awesome! I'm now in 1st place on my family's Wii fit scoreboard for breathing! (yes, breathing is one of the games, in the yoga section on the nintendo wii fit).
Sandie On Tuesday, September 16 at 10:09 am
I do this every time I go to the doctor. I get nervous so to make sure my BP stays where it should before the nurse takes it I go thru this breathing excersise. I never knew it was getting rid of toxins at the same time. I'll now do it all thru the day at work where tensions are high. Thanks Gee. and Ree for passing this on. Sandie
dlyn On Tuesday, September 16 at 10:10 am
It does work very well – some studies have shown it can help you lose weight too. Losing weight by breathing – what could be better than that?
melissa On Tuesday, September 16 at 10:11 am
I really need to try this! My life is just one big ball of stress lately. Maybe this will help.
Rian On Tuesday, September 16 at 10:11 am
Very cool. Thanks Gee. What a lovely woman you are.
Alicia W. On Tuesday, September 16 at 10:12 am
Wow…what a pretty mom you have, Ree! I love the breathing exercise…I always practice deep breathing in stressful situations…the dentist, dermatologist, grocery store, gas station….the list goes on and on! We all need good stress relief! Thanks!
Laura On Tuesday, September 16 at 10:13 am
You rock Gee!
I had two homebirths–both beautiful. However with the first one, I kept tightening through each contraction and ended up pushing for 2 1/2 hours…
For the second, I had read Hypnobirthing, and it changed everything. Through it, I learned to do this breathing and relaxing visualizations like Stuart Smalley ('cuase I'm good enough…) and I was able to breathe my baby out. I only pushed 3 times.

Wonderful! I needed that, I had not realized how tense my shoulders were and the I had probably been gritting my teeth all morning!
Thank for the deep breathing reminder . . . .
Melainie On Tuesday, September 16 at 10:15 am
Thanks Gee!
I need reminders to breathe. I used to be a deep breather, but not anymore, people used to comment on my deep breathing during my everyday life. I guess 'the stressful life' caught up with me. I need to get back to where I once was.
I have just been diagnosed this past year with lung disease, I wonder what I can do non-medically to reverse it. No, I am not a smoker, never have been. I have lived with a congenital heart defect all my life, it doesn't scare me. But this lung thing, freaks me out. I have a 15 month old daughter and I want to be around for her as long as I can be. Time to change things.
I want to live to see a grandchild, if Willa doesn't follow my lead and gets married at 40. I'd have to live to 84 to see a grandchild if she waits 'til she is 42 to have her first child.
I can't change the past, I don't control the future, I can breathe in the hope of changing my health and emotional well-being. I am rambling, but it helps to think it through. Thanks Gee.
Janet On Tuesday, September 16 at 10:15 am
Soft belly, huh? No problem, got it. This is great, thanks Gee!

Wow..My mom has been making my sisters and me do this since we were teenagers. Shes not a doctor tho..shes an accontant …but shes 1/2 native indian and a firm believer in everything that stops you from taking a pill.
My kitchen cupboard is full of healing herbs and different vitamins. I used to think she was nuts but it all actually does work and my mom looks great! like your mom…and my mom is 78. ( she looks maybe 50) I have my teenagers doing the breathing now too.
Jenni in KS On Tuesday, September 16 at 10:17 am
You know, this is something I was taught when I was 13 (practiced it every day for 2 years at the dinner table), and again when I was pregnant with my oldest, and again when I bought a yoga DVD (which I only used a few times), but somehow I always forget about it. It's these busy times we live in. We're constantly being pushed to do more and being fooled into believing we don't have time to do the simple things we really need to do. That's one of the reasons I try to take a walk each day. When I'm outside walking, the everyday stresses and pressures fade away and I have time to just be. My breaths naturally slow and deepen, but I could be getting even more benefit out of it if I concentrated on that breathing for a few minutes (or all) of my walk. Thanks for the reminder, Gee!

Liz A. On Tuesday, September 16 at 10:19 am
Who knew all those breathing exercises from playing trumper in band would be useful later on?? They taught it as a way to breathe in as much air as possible in one breath, but stress relief is more more applicable these days.
Thanks Ree and Gee.
Marcia On Tuesday, September 16 at 10:19 am
Thanks Gee. I remember our gymnastic coach telling us about breathing a bazillion years ago to breathe out the stress before a meet. I forget it works with real life now too.

Sorry I would have commented earlier but with all of that deep breathing I passed out!!! Just kidding…I am a true believer of what your mamma is preaching. I think there is more to holistic healing than people give it credit for. I am a fervent advocate of the Neti Pot (nothing like shoving something in an orifice to get out the bad stuff!!!!). Happy detoxing!!!
Debbie from GA On Tuesday, September 16 at 10:33 am

Please tell me this won't be the first and last post from your Mom! I loved the breathing technique. It was supa-relaxing!
Thank you so much, Gee!
Kathie On Tuesday, September 16 at 10:35 am
Thanks Gee (and Ree, for letting your mom post to us!). Everyone should try to do this daily – it does so much for your mental health (and by extension, your physical health as well). It just does a lot to center you, I think. I have so many friends who need to just try this, I think it would help them a lot! I am also a social worker – I am really interested in what you do with cancer patients and their families, and how you use the mind-body connection in cancer treatment (just for future reference if Ree ever lets you come back ;)).
Heather in OK On Tuesday, September 16 at 10:35 am
Great post!! I love your description of *how* to breathe to reduce stress (the column of air illustration)! I will definitely take that and use it with my clients when teaching and practicing relaxation.

It's like the end of an aerobics class but I didn't have to get all hot and sweaty. Awesome!
Tonks On Tuesday, September 16 at 10:36 am
I'm not a yoga type, nor am I a singer (though they haven't found that out at my church and put me in charge of the choir). I am, however, an aspiring natural childbirth educator and Bradley Method fan. I thought you'd be interested in this connection, Gee:
Traditional Lamaze breathing: breathe the way you do when watching TV (very shallow, very seldom)
Bradley breathing: you know how to breathe, you do it every night when you sleep. Learn to breathe like that when you're awake (deep, relaxed belly breathing)
Result? I just found out Lamaze has gotten rid of their breathing technique. I'm sure you can guess why How can you really relax when you're breathing like that?! You, my friend, have just proven Bradley right. (Though he would say the optimal position is a relaxed, reclined position like in an easy chair.) I love finding these connections!
(I'll be writing about your post on my birthing blog dvtonks.blogspot.com!)

Darn it…………back to the breathing….thanks Gee.
Sarah On Tuesday, September 16 at 10:39 am
Great post! It's so nice to meet you, Gee! And you are so right about the breathing and the intention. Are you by any chance a Reiki practitioner?
PB Rippey/sleepless mama On Tuesday, September 16 at 10:39 am
You mom does NOT look stressed out in the tiniest, so I'm going to take her welcome advice and breeeeeeethe all day, at Trader Joe's, at Mommy and Me, sitting in the playpen—breeeeeeethe.
Tinka On Tuesday, September 16 at 10:39 am
Thanks for the reminder to BREATHE!!! I 'm guilty of not breathing deep enough and I also tend to hold my breath when doing anything that involves physical exertion…like walking up the stairs to my apartment!
Rachel On Tuesday, September 16 at 10:40 am
Thank for the helpful lesson! Just sitting here at my desk and breathing like that for a couple minutes helped my tight neck muscles to relax quite a bit!

Hard to believe that the very fist Netscape browser came out in 1994. Well, to bring back memories, an Infographic was made to showcase the history of web browsers from 1994 to 2011.
This Infographic comes from <a href="http://www.testking.com/techking/infographics/browser-evolution-the-hist... and showcases the different browsers over time since 1994. Its pretty interesting to see browsers that perished over time and browsers that are still competing in the market.
What goes though your mind when seeing this? Post your comments below.

This is a good start (still very subjective) - for meaningful teacher evaluations - you have to look at individual student growth (data) - Value Added Metrics as part of the evaluation process. Effective teachers make a HUGE difference in future outcomes. Leading districts are moving to blended evaluations like 40% of student performance (value added), 50% observation frameworks, 5% contribution to school and 5% contribution to community. The use of longitudinal data is heavy lifting statistical work that is performed by outside firms like SAS or Mathmatica Policy or Northwest Evaluation Association that can measure the teacher effect while taking into account poverty, where the student started, etc. and is a very good indicator and predictor. See the report from Harvard, http://tiny.cc/qssxx, see what Houston Public is doing: http://hisdeffectiveteachers.org, read a very good Myths / Facts about FAQ: http://tiny.cc/e9up5, read a Q&A from one of the industry experts Bill Sanders: http://tiny.cc/d119e - and for a lot more, see: http://tiny.cc/moyvj
But the Ducks didn't do anything wrong...$25k for no report and a few players......
Online does not have to mean 100% virtual - there are blended learning environments as well. We have to get rid of the "Huckleberry Finn" image of K-12 education. Learning environments of the future will not be designed around bells as cells....and learning can not be personalized, paced or student centric in the current 150 year old, 1 on 30 industrial age delivery model.....new metric will be time per student, not teacher per student.....the use of online curriculum and assessment get teachers out of the inventing curriculum and manually assessing business, enable real time assessments on student progress and remediation, and real time student feedback....to learn more about next generation learning, see: www.ibrary.com
Don't understand Riley comment - "we will be fine without Quizz" - we were 5-7 with him - is Riley saying Beavers will be better?

the real debt clock......http://www.usdebtclock.org/
Crazy to think one online school can serve the whole state - there are lots of web 2.0 curriculum and assessment providers - that provide real time, interactive, bilingual online courses - that create paced and personalized learning experiences for students. State would be better off creating a agency to "vet" the online providers - just like districts to in bricks and morter delivery. Digital age leadership needed.
This is not transformation - its reformation, just moving the chairs. High schools should look and feel more like a Starbucks, less like a prison - classes should be more like apple's genius store. Kids are bored, curriculum dated and irrelevant. So how do you engage and empower students, prepare them for the 21st Century and global economy? That should be the conversation...where is the digital age leadership and vision? ibrary.com
Agree! The current model is not sustainable. Academic inflation makes todays college degree equal to high school degree of years ago. 1 billion people will be entering the global job market - colleges out of touch with workplace of the future - students will ask, am i getting $100k worth of value in my college education? New forms of higher education with emphasis on global relevancy will emerge.
We have deployed over 6 million square feet of in building wi-fi in high density urban and suburban buildings. Using unlicensed spectrum (wi-fi) to deliver internet service throughout a City was disastrous from the start. It just will not work in that environment.
Not even mentioned in the letter above, is the cost to manage the network - truck rolls to repair - the necessary 24/7 management. And to even think that a City could rely on unlicensed spectrum for police or life safety uses?
A better strategy using wi-fi technology is to keep it simple - create hot spots or zone in public areas - that is simple, cheap and easy to manage. With the cost of bandwidth dropping, wi-max on the horizon and the number of subscribers using broadband on the handset, the game is changing.
If Portland was a noble digital divide initiative, provide broadband to the home of all students that qualify for free lunch (not using wi-fi!). We pay to feed students stomach's if they can not afford lunch - let's pay to feed their mind with broadband. A simple parcel tax could easily do this.
The lesson, City should create a technology advisory committee consisting tech savvy business leaders. But, none of its members be a vendor or have any agenda other than serving the City. Washington DC has done this. PDX should do same.

NEW YORK — David Letterman, already the longest-tenured talk show host on late-night television, has agreed to extend his contract with CBS to remain on the "Late Show" into 2015.
The deal means Letterman will compete directly for at least a year with the two Jimmys – Kimmel, on ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live," and Fallon, who's taking over at NBC's "Tonight" show this winter.
Letterman joked on Friday that he had a lengthy discussion with CBS Corp. President Leslie Moonves "and we both agreed that I needed a little more time to fully run the show into the ground."
Letterman, 66, has been on the air for 31 years since beginning at NBC in the time slot following Johnny Carson in 1982. His contract was set to expire next summer.
It's unclear how long into 2015 the new contract extends. Neither CBS nor Letterman made any mention in Friday's announcement of this being a final contract at the "Late Show."
In the increasingly competitive late-night world, where Letterman also competes with new Emmy Award winner Stephen Colbert on Comedy Central, Letterman averaged 2.89 million viewers for the TV season that ended last month. That's down 3 percent from the previous year.
Jay Leno and the "Tonight" show averaged 3.55 million viewers, the Nielsen ratings company said. NBC is getting ready to take Leno off "Tonight" for a second time, with his exit scheduled for Feb. 6. Fallon, who's moving the show back to New York, starts after the Winter Olympics on Feb. 24.
Kimmel's show on ABC has averaged 2.42 million viewers since it began competing directly with Letterman and Leno in January.
Letterman moved to the top of the ratings when Leno was briefly replaced by Conan O'Brien. But Leno took over again when he returned to late night.
Letterman has remained healthy following quintuple bypass surgery that temporarily took him off the air 13 years ago.

"I am very lucky to have met Sehwag. People don't even get a chance to meet their idols and here I was getting tips from him," said Zol.
So, what prompted Sehwag to share his thoughts with the lad? "I happened to tell him that I was the highest run-getter in the U-16 category last year. He was very impressed and told me that he would give me his bat."
Zol cherishes every tip he got from his 'hero'. He told me, "Just keep scoring runs. Never back off from tough situations. But, at the same time, be happy with what you score. He also gave me his autographed bat," said Zol.
So, does he plan to keep the bat safely or does he plan to thwack the ball with it? "I plan to use it. Though I haven't used it as yet, I will because, after all, it is Sehwag's bat."
Though Zol too has a record to his name, he maintains that eclipsing Sehwag's feats in the world of cricket do not cross his mind. "I am not thinking on those lines. But, definitely, I want to play like him. I want to let the bat do the talking. I also want to come out all guns blazing from tough situations like Sehwag."

In Charlotte's Web, how did Mr. Arable's thinking change from the beginning of the story to the end of chapter 2?
1 Answer | Add Yours
The story opens on Arable's farm where his sow has just given birth to a litter of piglets. When Mr. Arable discovers one is a runt, he wants to kill it. His 8 year old daughter, Fern, however, begs him to let the little pig live. He allows her to nurse the baby pig (literally feed it with a bottle) hoping to show her how much work keeping the pig will be.
Fern falls in love with the pig, of course, and names it Wilbur. By the end of Chapter 2, Mr. Arable realizes he cannot kill the pig but he still does not want to keep it either. His wife convinces him (and Fern) to call her uncle Homer Zuckerman and have him buy the pig. This way, the pig lives and Fern can walk up the road and visit any time she wants

|Wrapup from Florence: Hall of Fame induction and Harlon Hill Trophy results
In addition to the appearance of Winston-Salem State in the National Championship Game, HBCUs were also represented on two other fronts of Division II Football.
The Division II Football Hall of Fame inducted former Fort Valley State standout Tyrone Poole in its Class of 2012 on December 14 at the 27th Annual Harlon Hill Trophy and Division II Football Hall of Fame Banquet in Florence, Ala.
Poole was a consensus All-American pick at cornerback as a senior at FVSU in 1994 and was a first-round draft pick by the Carolina Panthers in the 1995 National Football League (NFL) Draft. He went on to a 13-year career in the NFL and was a part of two Super Bowl Championship Teams with the New England Patriots.
During his career at FVSU, Poole helped lead the Wildcats to two Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC) Championships and was a First-Team All-SIAC pick in 1993 and 1994. He was named SIAC Defensive Player of the Year in 1994 and was named All-American by the Associated Press and the American Football Coaches Association. He was named to the Division II Team of the Quarter Century in 1997.
His selection as the 22nd overall pick in the 1995 draft made him the first FVSU player to be drafted in the first round of an NFL draft. He was named to the NFL "All Rookie Team" in 1995 and helped lead Carolina to a 12-4 regular season record and its first NFC West Title in only the franchise's second year of existence.
During his NFL career he started 112 games, made 406 tackles and intercepted 18 passes that he returned for 231 yards. He is the second Division II Football Hall of Fame inductee from FVSU, joining Greg Lloyd who was inducted in 2001.
Poole, who joined Kutztown's John Mobley as the only two individuals inducted this year, is the author of the recently released book, "Ultimate Success in the Game of Life," and he is the founder of the Tyrone Poole 38 Foundation.
Tuskegee running back Derrick Washington was a finalist for the 2012 Harlon Hill Trophy awarded to the Most Outstanding football player in Division II. Shippensburg (Pa.) University junior quarterback Zach Zulli claimed the Trophy at last Friday's banquet.
The 2012 SIAC Football Player of the Year and Offensive Player of the Year, Washington, was one of eight finalists selected from a field of 24 candidates within the four Super Regions across Division II. The finalists were selected by the NCAA's Division II sports information directors during regional voting and were placed on the national ballot where 155 of the division's SIDs selected Zulli as the award's 27th winner.
In his first and only season at Tuskegee, Washington, a transfer from University of Missouri, has been the lightning rod for Tuskegee's 10-2 record this year. As the seventh overall rusher in the nation, the Raymore, Missouri native, led the conference in rushing with 1,399 yards and 13 touchdowns while leading Tuskegee to its 26th SIAC Football Championship. He also averaged 8.1 yards per carry and rushed for more than 100 yards in six games, while running for 200-plus yards three times this season. In his last two outings, Washington rushed for 208 yards against Miles and 224 yards against Fort Valley State in the SIAC Championship game.
He finished his career rushing for 185 yards and catching four passes for 63 yards against Elizabeth City State in Pioneer Bowl XIV.
The Hill Trophy is named for a former University of North Alabama player - Harlon Hill - who was a standout with the Lions from 1950-53 before going on to fame in the National Football League with the Chicago Bears.

Some of the most influential faces in politics sat side by side in Rudder Auditorium Friday to honor a Texas trailblazer.
Vice President Dick Cheney, First Lady Laura Bush, Former Secretary of State James Baker, Republican Strategist Karl Rove and Texas Governor Rick Perry were among the hundreds who gathered to celebrate the life of Anne Armstrong.
Armstrong died July 30 at the age of 80. Advisor to four U.S. presidents and the first female ambassador to Great Britain, Armstrong had a special place in her heart for Aggieland.
Her late husband, Tobin was an Aggie and she served on the Texas A&M System Board of Regents.
"Mrs. Armstrong did not graduate from A&M. She never wore an Aggie ring, but she'll always be remembered as a matriarch of the Aggie family," Texas A&M President Elsa Murano said.
But long before Armstrong was a regent, she lived her life on the national political stage.
"At a time when women in politics were expected to just stuff envelopes and make coffee, she was a powerful and influential figure in the political life of our state and our country," former presidential advisor Karl Rove said.
She met now Vice President Dick Cheney more than three decades ago with neighboring offices in the West Wing of the White House.
"In the summer of 1976, Anne was serving as our ambassador to the United Kingdom," the Vice President recalled. "She was on the short list for Vice Presidential nominee. As an eye witness to President Ford's decision, I can tell you, Anne was almost chosen. With her on the ticket, we might have won that election," joked Cheney.
Although Armstrong's life of public service spanned over half a century, it's her private life that defined who she was.
"Her greatest legacy of all is of course her family. The children and grandchildren who will write the next chapters of the Armstrong story," said former Secretary of State James Baker.
"I can just see her being greeted at the pearly gates by the deep booming voice of Tobin Armstrong," Baker described. "Welcome home "super chick", he might say. I gave St. Peter the day off."

Kat Graham and her date Perez Hilton did their darndest to blind us on the red carpet of the NewNowNext Awards last week: Perez with his brand-new abs and Kat with the blingiest corset we've ever seen. The two were actually in matching outfits from The Blonds. "It's very Britney/Justin 2000," the Vampire Diaries star said of their matching outfit. "That [denim] was iconic. He had the cowboy hat, we have diamonds and studs."
Kat has certainly been enjoying showing off her curves as she promotes her new single, "Put Your Graffiti on Me." "I'm all about the sexy part of you," she told us. "It's all about the ass in this dress. I think it's going well so far."

Magic Bullet: Penicillin
The untold story of the history and making of Penicillin. In 1940, as World War Two raged, Australian Howard Florey and team at Oxford University made the worlds first antibiotic. They used old bedpans, parts of a broken telephone and scrounged dairy equipment. Penicillin was a lifesaver, but its discovery was a trial of penury, character assassination and spotlight snatching. Using dramatic re-enactments and Florey's own archive film, this documentary tells the true story.

Battling bipolar
In 1999, NZ writer Michael Morrissey was diagnosed with manic depression. He has suffered eight manic episodes since, and been briefly hospitalised three times. Despite this, Michael rejected traditional medication, believing it would inhibit his creativity. Instead he chose to try and control his condition – to "tame the tiger" through willpower. The results have not been easy for his long suffering wife. Daytime Tiger is a feature length documentary that explores its subject with astonishing frankness. It makes for unsettling, even provocative viewing at times, but there's much humour, and the final message is more hopeful than bleak.

Areas housing many of Australia's 60-plus 'baby boomers' are in urgent need of a new approach to development, according to experts at independent property consultants, Urbis.
Roberta Ryan, social planning director at Urbis, told DPS News data from the latest Census showed it was not just coastal regions that have reached a "tipping point" when it came to increasing housing demand for older people.
"The number of areas housing those in their 60s or above has grown significantly over the past five years. There are now 61 regions across Australia with more than one-quarter of their population aged over 60 years. This is a huge leap from just 25 regions in 2006," she added.
Many of these areas were in recognised retirement locations, but for the first time, the list included urban suburbs.
According to the Census figures, a number of suburbs within Australian cities now house much greater ageing populations compared with 2006. Ms Ryan said these areas were struggling to provide new homes to accommodate older people as they make the move from the family home.
Ms Ryan added many people preferred to downsize their accommodation and stay within their current location as they grow older, yet the range of housing choices in many suburbs was very limited.
The ageing population was increasingly creating a major demand for new housing in many established suburbs.
"While retirement villages have met some of this demand, a significant proportion of older Australians prefer independent living options," she said.
Several suburbs in Melbourne and Adelaide house high numbers of people aged over 60 years who would be seeking alternative accommodation in the same location over the coming years, yet only modest new housing developments have been seen in these areas.
While this trend had already emerged in Melbourne and Adelaide, suburbs such as Hurstville, Epping and Warringah in Sydney would also begin to "tip" over in the next few years.
"The continuing growth in the 60-plus market in areas such as Gippsland and the NSW north coast provides yet another opportunity for developers.
"I think we also need to be looking at how neighbourhoods can accommodate people with a diversity of needs. Inclusive communities equal more successful communities."

Below is the poem entitled Unborn Tomorrows which was written by poet
Jones. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Donna Jones
Unborn tomorrows..
Disguise unknown sorrows
Leaving hearts full..
Not empty and hollow
Unborn tomorrows..
Always send a rainbow smile
After dark clouds..
Have had their while
Unborn tomorrows..
Leave room for dreams to grow
Even ones forgotten..
So long ago
Unborn tomorrows..
Give all a second chance
To rekindle..
Lost romance
Unborn tomorrows..
Provide opportunity to say thank you
I love you..
And appreciate all you do
Unborn tomorrows..
Give a chance to say
I'm sorry I acted that way..
I don't always mean everything I say
Unborn tomorrows..
Are like life itself
Breathe in and out..
Nothing else
Just assuming the next one will come
Until the last one and then it's done..
So breathe deep and let it go..
If tomorrow doesn't come, you'll never know..
For God is love....

Mac Specs: iMac, 24", Mac OS and Win XP w/ Parallels
Basic setup: 24" iMac w/ Leopard and Win XP Pro running via Parallels.
I don't have Apple support because I bought this used. I've loaded software (such as PhotoShop) on the Windows side before without problems. When I tried to update my Parallels, I discovered that the program I had was a pirated copy, so I bought a new copy. (I didn't find out that it was pirated until after I bought the iMac, and as soon as I found out, I purchased a full version of Parallels.) After loading that, my Windows side will not recognize anything I put in my DVD/CD drive. I can't play music CD, DVDs or anything on the WinXP platform. The DVD/CD does show up in my hardware list, but will not read anything I put into it. It works fine on the Mac side.
I need to update my PhotoShop to 7.0, and add Visio to my Windows, but can't.
Any suggestions on where I can go to for help? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Johnny Depp has a lot to be envious of…his good looks, his acting chops, and his lifestyle! In the latest issue of Vanity Fair, Johnny talks about his own private island in the Bahamas, which he calls his "decompression."
The island, Little Hall's Pond Cay, features six different beaches, all of which Depp named after important people in his life. There's one named after his girlfriend Vanessa Paradis, their two children Rose and Jack, and his two mentors, Marlon Brando and Hunter S. Thompson.
Johnny also dedicated a patch of water to the late Heath Ledger, calling it "Heath's Place." After his death, Johnny played one side of Heath's character in The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, so that the film could be completed.
Johnny says of the island, "It's my way of trying to return to normalcy. Escapism is survival to me. I don't think I'd ever seen any place so pure and beautiful. You can feel your pulse rate drop about 20 beats. It's instant freedom. And that rare beast—simplicity—can be had."
"And a little morsel of anonymity. Whenever I was getting frustrated about being 'novelty boy' and making movies, I told myself, 'Calm down. I can come down here and disappear.' I spent the Christmas season here with Vanessa and the kids. You can feed hot dogs to the nurse sharks in the Exumas — but it's best to not swim when doing it."
Sounds like the life! And Johnny knows he's lucky. He says, "Money doesn't buy you happiness. But it buys you a big enough yacht to sail right up to it." Check out the whole article in his month's Vanity Fair.
