Can Sympathetic Nerve Blocks And Spinal Stimulation Help Children With CRPS?
Rarely in my profession do I encounter a patient whose story profoundly affects me. It happens more often when I see children. As a parent, I cannot possibly imagine any of my children in chronic pain.
This is why I was so disturbed when I met a young lady and heard her experience over the last six months or so. Her pediatrician sent her to me because she was in so much pain. She could not ambulate properly and would not put her heel down flat on the ground. Her pediatrician wanted me to evaluate her and see if this was a mechanical or sensory issue.
This 11-year-old girl had developed unremitting pain after spraining her ankle during a soccer game eight months ago. She also had an older sister who had sustained an injury to her hip and had developed complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) in that location. The patient had all the strikes against her. She was female, between the ages of 8 to 14 (11 to 14 in some literature), had a family history of CRPS and a recent injury.
This is where it begins to get unusual. Apparently, all the experts she had seen agreed that she simply needed serial occupational or physical therapy to relieve her symptoms. For six months, she had sensory therapy to try to desensitize her ankle and allow for normal day-to-day functioning. The girl said things had improved but she ultimately still had enough pain that she could not function normally. Her mother explained that they had visited two specialty hospitals in the area but came away with recommendations for continued occupational/physical therapy and no other recourse.
I discussed this case with some of my colleagues. We concluded that a piece of the puzzle was missing.
A couple of years ago, the Podiatry Insurance Company of America (PICA) released a home study course concerning the number one reason people sue podiatrists. It involved the lack of proper and early diagnosis of CRPS and the lack of appropriate referrals for adequate early management. Once again, after discussion with my close colleagues and a couple of pain management physicians I know, it really seems that someone dropped the ball somewhere.
While there is quite a bit of literature on pediatric CRPS, most, if not all, of it is rather inconclusive.1-6 The one thing that is universally lacking in any of the literature is the efficacy of sympathetic blocks in the pediatric population. Apparently, occupational and physical therapies are the gold standard. However, some of these papers cite a high recurrence rate associated with the occupational/physical therapy regimen.2,4 Bear in mind that this gold standard was also evaluated almost 20 years ago. Have we not come any closer to helping these poor children than we were in the mid-1990s?
I asked the girl's mother if anyone had discussed using sympathetic blocks for her daughter. She had never heard of anything like that. I explained that when I send patients for evaluation of CRPS, that is the first thing I request. Sometimes, the initial injection works well enough that patients then get serial injections every few months and are able to live virtually pain-free. I also noted the patients I have seen who eventually go on to have spinal implants to eliminate the pain. I asked the patient's mother if I could talk to the girl's doctors and therapists to see if the option of sympathetic blocks would be available.
Don't get me wrong. It is frightening for a parent to think of giving a child injections and spinal stims considering the potential complications associated with this modality. However, I would hope any parent would at least consider trying something like this before dooming a child to a life in a wheelchair due to an ankle sprain.
Perhaps I am being dramatic. I am no CRPS expert but I cannot find any physiological reason not to try an injection like this in the pediatric population. To know that you may help stop a crippling process from progressing seems worth it to me.

It All Turns on Affection: The Jefferson Lecture & Other Essaysby Wendell Berry
Synopses & Reviews
"Poet, novelist, and farmer Berry restates his love for the land in these sonorous essays. The title piece, his 2012 Jefferson Lecture, posits that an abiding affection for place, such as his family's deep ties to rural Kentucky, is essential for 'a neighborly, kindly and conserving economy.' Elsewhere, he explores his adventures in civil disobedience, Kentuckians' fraught relationship with their landscape, the coal industry's assault on Appalachia, and the horse-drawn agriculture of the Amish. Together, these loose-limbed writings elaborate on Berry's agrarian critique of industrial society and corporate power, discussing the devastation wrought by agribusiness on small farmers and the ecosphere and by modern mobility and consumerism on the human connection to nature. Berry's case for limits, localism and devotion to the soil is more manifesto than detailed argument. Alternating between lyricism and jeremiad, his writing bristles with contrarian jabs — he insists that abundant clean energy would just encourage more ecological havoc — that declaim more than they demonstrate. Still, these powerful, challenging essays show why Berry's vision of a sustainable, human-scaled society has proven so influential. Agent: Judy Klein, Kleinworks. (Sept.)" Publishers Weekly Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
When he accepted the invitation to deliver The Jefferson Lecture—our nations highest honor for distinguished intellectual achievement—Wendell Berry decided to take on the obligation of thinking again about the problems that have engaged him throughout his long career. He wanted a fresh start, not only in looking at the groundwork of the problems facing our nation and the earth itself, but in gaining hope from some examples of repair and healing even in these times of Late Capitalism and its destructive contagions. As a poet and writer he understood already that much can be gleaned from looking at the vocabulary of these problems themselves and how we describe them. And he settled on affection" as a method of engagement and solution. The result is the greatest speech he has delivered in his six decades of public life. It All Turns on Affection will take its place alongside The Unsettling of America and The Gift of Good Land as major testaments to the power and clarity of his contribution to American thought.
We have taken this opportunity to include a small handful of other recent essays and a wonderful conversation between Mr. Berry, his wife Tanya Berry, and the head of the National Endowment of the Humanities Jim Leech, which took place just after the award was announced. The result offers a wonderful continuation of the long conversation Berry has had with his readers over many years and as well as a fine introduction to his life and work.
About the Author
Wendell Berry is the author of more than fifty books of poetry, fiction, and essays. He was recently awarded the National Humanities Medal, the Cleanth Brooks Medal for Lifetime Achievement by the Fellowship of Southern Writers, and the Louis Bromfield Society Award. For more than forty years he has lived and farmed with his wife, Tanya, in Kentucky.

Andean cosmovision of the Kallawaya
Inscribed in 2008 (3.COM) on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity (originally proclaimed in 2003)
Country(ies): Bolivia (Plurinational State of)
- Andean cosmovision of the Kallawaya
The Kallawaya ethnic group, based in the mountainous Bautista Saavedra region north of La Paz, traces its roots to the pre-Inca period. Like many aspects of Andean culture, the Kallawaya's practices and values have evolved through the fusion of native and Christian religions.
The principal activity of the Kallawaya involves the practice of ancestral medical techniques. The various rites and ceremonies related to these techniques form the basis of their local economy. The Andean Cosmovision of the Kallawaya culture consists of a coherent body of myths, rituals, values and artistic expressions. Widely recognized not only in Bolivia but also in many other South American countries where Kallawaya priest doctors practise, the medical techniques are based on the belief systems of indigenous peoples of the Andean area.
This healing art derives from a deep understanding of animal, mineral and botanical pharmacopoeia and a body of ritual knowledge intimately linked to religious beliefs. The exclusively male itinerant healers treat patients using medical and pharmaceutical knowledge that revolves around a complex system of transmission and apprenticeship in which the journey plays an essential role. By travelling through widely varying ecosystems, Kallawaya healers expand their knowledge of medicinal plants. With some 980 species, their botanical pharmacopoeia rates as one of the richest in the world. Kallawaya women participate in a number of rites, care for pregnant women and children, and weave textiles with motifs and decoration relating to the Kallawaya cosmovision. Musical groups called kantus play the drum and pan flute during ritual ceremonies in order to establish contact with the world of the spirits.
In recent times, the traditional Kallawaya way of life has come under threat from acculturation, which may lead to the disappearance of this extraordinary body of medical knowledge. The tradition is also affected by the lack of sufficient legal protection for indigenous communities, particularly in regard to policies pursued by major pharmaceutical companies.
These videos (and many more) can also be consulted through the UNESCO Archives Multimedia website
Safeguarding project (02-2014/12-2015)
Los kallawayas, famosos por su vasto conocimiento del mundo botánico y mineral, practican técnicas médicas y rituales de curación que son un fiel exponente del sistema de creencias indígenas. Su conocimiento de las plantas medicinales se amplía sin cesar, pues los curanderos kallawayas y sus aprendices buscan continuamente nuevos métodos de curación en los diversos y muy variados ecosistemas de la región andina.
The safeguarding action plan seeks, through intergenerational transmission, to ensure the preservation and transmission of the knowledge and wisdom of the Kallawaya culture, whose activity is bound to the ancestral healing medicine of the culture of the Andes.
The main objectives of the safeguarding project are to:
- promote the preservation and safeguarding of Kallawaya culture at local, regional and national levels;
- strengthen the techniques and transmission of traditional medicine,
- strengthen the knowledge concerning healing with natural medicines;
- create the necessary conditions to ensure the transmission of the traditional knowledge;
- promote Kallawaya culture, as part of the multicultural identity of Bolivia; and
- to promote the practice of traditional medicine in hospitals of the municipalities of the Bautista Saavedra province.

CREATED Oct 14, 2013
WASHINGTON (AP) -- There's no deal yet, but the Senate's top two leaders are both voicing optimism that an agreement is near that would head off a U.S. default and end the partial government shutdown.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Republican leader Mitch McConnell continue to meet, and officials say they are discussing a bill that would raise the government's debt limit until spring.
McConnell also has been speaking with House Speaker John Boehner.
Meanwhile, the White House says a meeting between President Barack Obama and congressional leaders that was set for Monday afternoon has been postponed to give Senate leaders more time to negotiate.
No new meeting time was announced.

Relinquishing of the public's right to issue its own currency – Part 2
|April 7, 2011
|Posted by dan under Money
o now we have covered the mechanism by how banks lend credit into circulation in part 1 we can now look at why this is so detrimental to the people. When money is borrowed the exact amount borrowed is created from nothing, so what is the effect of this on the economy as a whole? There is at any one time a specific money supply in circulation within the global economy. The total supply of money allows us to determine the price of goods and services overtime. So if there's X amount of pounds in the economy we come to know that a loaf of bread cost X amount, this is what economist call price discovery. However whenever anyone borrows money, new money is being created and thus the total money supply is diluted by exactly the sum you borrowed commonly known as inflation. And as previously mentioned money is debt which is a promise which is your time and energy.
Money = Debt = Promise = Time/Energy
Therefore the time and energy you use to create value is completely consumed to a zerosum by this mechanism of diluting the money supply as the total money supply represents the time and energy of everyone. It Insures that your time and energy used within the economy is wasted. Did you follow that? Lets say you borrow $10,000 using it productively to build up a business and therefore create $10,000 additional value within the economy. Great, but now I borrow $10,000 and dilute the value of the total money supply by exactly how much you just spent your time and energy on creating, thus we are back to the starting point in terms of the value of the money. It is a zero sum game you see? And this is why we find the strange situation where we do not seem to be benefiting from the additional creation of new technology's, manufacturing, and creativity. Because all the value created from these new innovations such as the advent of the computer and the huge amount of wealth this created did not translate into ease and comfort for human beings but instead the additional wealth it created was consumed by the money system itself.
A quick point to note also is that wealth has to be in direct relation to poverty within this system. Because within this system somebody's wealth has to be someone else's debt. So the more money you hold the more other people by necessity need to be indebted to you, because the money in your hand is a unit of account for other peoples debt. To make yourself rich by contrast others must be made equally poor to the extent you are made rich. It is a simple equation of the money system.
What would be the antitheses of this? Well quite simply it would be to have a constant money supply that could have limited controls but that essentially maintains a constant supply of money. What would the effect of this be? Quite simply again if the money supply is constant and the money you are borrowing from the banks is part of this money supply of other peoples deposits and not created when borrowed then when you go out and spend that money and create value that value becomes additional! value within the current money supply, thus continuously increasing the value of money, and hence you do see the benefits of additional productivity, innovation and technology in the fact that your money is becoming ever more valuable over time. It becomes an upwards spiral of wealth creation.
Now if it wasn't bad enough that the money system is designed to be a zero sum game it gets even worse and that is the application of interest. When you borrow money they create only the principal amount which is the amount borrowed but not the interest. So looking at this from a global perspective the current global money supply could not pay off the global debt burden because it would be lacking the amount needed to pay the additional interest and therefore the system insures that you have to come back to the banks to borrow more money to pay the interest on your old debt and thus of course incurring more debt and interest, or what you might call a downward spiral. But as I like to look at things on a root level which is an energetic level of money being the time and energy of human beings then I hope you can envision this as a black hole of compounding interest sucking in the time and energy of the collective of all human beings. This is our current financial model. It is way beyond something that is simply not designed right or not working right it has the absolute optimum negative effect it can without collapsing in on itself, to put simply you couldn't have a worse monetary system if you tried.
See part 3 to see how the history of how this come about.

Would you sell me a good bridge, please? You may please pay me $3 Million to take it off you hands.
You may have inverted or failed to invert the percentage. If you labor goes down 50% (1/2) from its previous value to 50% (1/2). You will need to work 200% (2x) more for the same gain. If stock purchased drops 75% to 25% (1/4=.25) its old value you need it to go up 400% (4x) to break even again.
It is good to think about the 200% needed to regain a 50% drop, but it is not a 200% drop. That would be in the negative territory. % is (New-old)/new X 100.
OR (new-old)/old = new/old-old/old = new/old -1. This is why people will also just calculate a simple ratio of new/old.

Sublime Text for Mac User Reviews
out of 7 user reviews
Results 1-2 of 2
"great text editor for coding"
Version: Sublime Text 2.0.2
attractive interface, excellent coloring for code, supports lots of extensions, very customizable
Find & replace worked well for me (version 2.0.2). I was able to use regular expressions to replace a string of text with a new line. It replaced thousands of occurrences in seconds.
Preferences are set in text files.
"Borderline unusable in Mac - search function 100% fail"
Version: Sublime Text 2.0.2
- Simple interface
- Expandable - but you have to spend some time learning how to use the SW and also remembering all the short cuts to activate the various functions.
- Highlights code well, including missing tags etc.
- Fast
Search function doesn't work at all in 2.0.2 on Mac version - consistently no results. 2.0.1 was a bit flakey in its search function and frequently missed search results but 2.0.2's search function is completely unusable. I only discovered the problem with 2.0.1's search function after I decided to roll back a version - and noticed it didn't fix the problem. I posted on the support forum about it - no one not even the developer responded. This was many months ago. I unfortunately paid for the product. I emailed the developer to complain and ask for a refund, as I explained that the Mac version was unusable because of the search issue, had caused me considerable problems with my web sites because of missed 'find and replace' actions, and that I had revered to using Textwrangler instead which actually works properly in this respect - no response. Rip off. I heard from a Windows user that it works fine, so less effort goes into the Mac.
Inconsistent tabbing behaviour on imported code.

Jon Machota answered your Cowboys questions in a chat Tuesday. Here are some highlights.
Question: Experts like yourself keep saying there's no way to really know what kind of team we will have until they put on the pads and have the full contact reps of training camp. But we've seen their strength, their speed and agility and their ability to follow the playbook, to understand the offensive and defensive schemes. How much more will the pads show us, except their ability to hold / shed blocks and move to / with the ball? Bottom line.. what can we hope to learn that we don't already know now?
Jon Machota: Having the pads on will show us a lot about where this defense is. It's tough to generate a realistic pass rush and defend receivers in coverage if no one can make contact. J.J. Wilcox is a great example. His best attribute is probably his ability to lay down a big hit. He did that several times at camp last year and really was building confidence heading into the season. I want to see if that continues this year. How will the younger receivers catch the ball in traffic? ... Up front, having pads on will really show us if Tank Lawrence can beat Tyron off the edge or if he still has a lot of work to do. And the biggest question mark is at linebacker. You can't accurately predict who will be in the starting lineup until you see them trying to shed blockers and make tackles.
Question: How many games you got the Cowboys winning this season?
Jon Machota: Eight has been working for me the last couple seasons so I'm sticking with that. Looking at the schedule and considering Tony Romo's back issues, 8-8 could be asking for too much. I just can't see this defense being that much better from last year with what they lost up front.
Question: Romo could have led the same Giants' team to the Super Bowl that Eli was fortunate enough to play with. Eli, on the other hand, would be ringless in Dallas. Period.
Jon Machota: I will agree on the part about Eli being without a ring if he was playing in Dallas. But to assume that Romo would have had the same success in New York is a bit of a stretch for me. It's easy to bash Eli because of the terrible season he's coming off of, but he was outstanding in both of those Super Bowl seasons. He threw 15 TDs and only 2 INTs throughout those playoffs and was the MVP twice in wins over the best franchise of the last decade.

In this second part of my tank primer series, we cover the St. Glorianna team, which fields a Churchill and 4 Matilda mk. II's.
Starting with the team's lead tank, the Churchill Mk IV. The Churchill is an infantry support tank, originally designed with WWI specifications in mind. Even though the IV is slightly improved towards the WWII anti-tank doctrine, there is still evidence of its original specifications in the design.
As per the usual design of infantry tanks, it had to be able to cross trenches and shell crates, and destroy small fortifications (like barbed wire). Also, being able to withstand most fire was a must. Accordingly, it sacrificed speed (which was unneeded as the British had the fast cruiser line of tanks) as well as armament in order to achieve these things. The end result was a very long tank with all encompassing tracks that was heavier armored than even the german Tiger I tank.
Although extremely slow and thus with rather limited use against the fast panzers, the Churchill did come with the upside of being able to cross over more difficult terrain than almost any other tank, thus making it perfectly suitable to support infantry.
The mk. IV itself has over 100mm of front armor, over 80mm side armor, and has the (upgunned form the 2pdr), a 6 pounder gun, thus making it more effective in anti-tank battles. Overall, the Churchill mk. IV is a tank to be feared by less armored tanks, as it can bully you around all day, if it can catch you. Which is why terrain is so important.
As a side note, according to the name, the 6 pounder gun's rounds were 6 pounds, making it really easy, and thus fast, to reload. Also, the Churchill's large tracks made use of a large amount of road wheels, meaning that even if it lost a few, it would usually be fine (it's too bad they didn't show this in battle).
The Churchill in Girls und Panzer, though, seems to be on turbo as many times its speed seems to far exceed the speed limit of 26kph. Aside from that, though, Assam and her crew manage to use this tank very well, throwing its weight around when it needs to and staying calm when the faster PzIV was buzzing around her. I really do want to see these girls vs. off against the Russians.
*Edit: It has been brought to my attention that the Churchill shown in the show is the Mk. VII and not the Mk. IV. I admit that I'm terrible at spotting tank models on sight and I have to research a bit before I write about it. Unfortunately this time I'm just terrible at it.
>In any case (while the history is still mostly correct) the Mk. VII, sometimes called the "heavy churchill" has much more armor and a 75mm gun instead of a 6pdr. With up to 140mm of armor (instead of about 100) in the front, and similar upgrades to the side/rear armor, this tank is even more slow and impenetrable. Which only confuses me more as to how fast they were going.
The rest of the St. Glorianna team is composed of Matilda II medium tank. Although for a medium, it has the same top speed (only on roads) as the Churchill. Unfortunately for me, I can't tell what model the Matilda in the show is as most of the (possible) models differ only internally.
*Edit: Watching 5.5 has specified their Matildas as a hybrid mk. III/IV. biggest difference from earlier matildas is a slightly improved engine.
The Matilda II was also given two a large amount of armor, being from the infantry tank line as well. However, its smaller size meant it had less room for what would be an appropriately sized engine (It was driven under the power of two bus engines), thus its speed issues. This arrangement did, however, have the interesting benefit of not rendering the matilda immobile even if one of the engines were to be knocked out.
Although being as slow as sin, the Matilda's heavy armor made it proof to nearly all forms of early WWII era anti-tank guns. This imperviousness earned it a fearsome reputation in the African theater, and cemented its place in history.
Specifically, the Matilda II manages up to 78mm of armor in the front, 75mm in the turret, 70mm in the side, and even 55 in the rear. In addition, its high velocity 2 pounder gun proved to be more than sufficient to take down most early war tanks. In numbers, Matilda II's are not to be messed with, unless if you manage to pull out something more recent than a PzIV ausf. G.
Although proof to most forms of fire, the Matilda II is not invincible, and is certainly more vulnerable than a Churchill. Although the St. Glorianna team exhibits great discipline and competence crewing their respective tanks, their overconfidence (in their armor or otherwise) will (or actually, was) be their downfall.
Overall, the St. Glorianna team has a very complimentary makeup. Having tanks of great armor and similar speed, when coupled with their great discipline and overall competence in tactical battle, this school is to be feared. However, the addition of a few fast cruiser tanks to act as forward scouts and mobile flankers would definitely not be a bad thing.
This concludes the primer on the british tanks of St. Glorianna. Next up (when I watch it) is the American school, Saunders and its M4 Shermans! (both the tactics analysis post and the primer) Please look forward to it.

Healthy Food Choices

The stainless steel counters gleamed with a pristine cleanness that professional chefs pride themselves on. This is Dewey McMurrey's test kitchen. The executive sous chef, who was educated at the Culinary Institute of America, not only caters Texas Tech University-sponsored events, but he also creates the menus implemented across campus.
"Everybody still says 'yes' to mac'n'cheese or something once in a while," he said. "We don't promote the unhealthy stuff, but we're not going to stop serving it. Our No. 1 item on campus for the last decade, the top seller, is chicken strips."
Obesogenic is how nutritionists categorize our society. The idea is that our environment causes obesity and, in a sense, promotes unhealthy habits.
College data shows about 35 to 36 percent of college students are overweight, said Debra Reed, Ph.D., a professor at Texas Tech. Her concentration is community nutrition, which translates to prevention, she said.
"Knowledge is always power," she said. "A lot of people don't even realize they're overweight because overweight has become almost the norm. If almost 37 percent are overweight, then you don't stick out anymore."
She said whether on a college campus or at a worksite with 5,000 employees, healthy food choices are not the easy choice. A person has to work hard to find a healthy food choice, even at the grocery store. She said people have to look through 99.9 percent of the cereals to find one that is healthier. Snacks and cookies, she said, have hardly any nutritional benefits.
Reed said when she was a student at Texas Tech 35 years ago; about 10 percent of the students were overweight at that time. "There's always been overweight, but now it's an epidemic. That's why there is an epidemic of all the other diseases, as well," she said.
The health concerns that go with carrying extra pounds, like diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea, are raising the rate of health care. Reed said America is No. 1 in health care costs, and No. 47 in life expectancy, which is a figure that is lower than Cuba. She said the country is losing $300 billion a year because of the influx in overweight people.
Reed said health education has fallen by the wayside, people are unaware of the inputs their bodies need. High schools have now labeled health education "optional," she said. However, Texas Tech offers many free ways to better one's health. Free cooking demonstrations are available through Hospitality Services and classes offered at the Student Recreational Center. McMurrey said that residential and community assistants in the on-campus residence halls are responsible for hosting several events during the semester, and his free cooking demonstrations are an easy event for organization members to set up.
McMurrey said his demonstrations are free, and he sets up and cleans when he is finished. "They just contact me, and I show up and cook for everybody."
McMurrey said his average number of demonstrations varies by semester, sometimes he hosts 12 lessons, and other times he hosts two lessons. The most requested recipes at these events, he said, are for cookies and pies.
"Oh great," his nutrition assistant said. Amy Pohlmeier works for Texas Tech after she graduated from Texas A&M University. The doctoral student said she understands the idea of obesogenics.
"You can't force somebody to eat healthy because they're not going to do that," she said. "So what we're doing is trying to promote what is healthy."
Of college students, 95 percent are not eating enough fruits and vegetables, Reed said.
Hospitality Services is focusing on the gap in education, Pohlmeier said. She had several brochures with subjects like Exercise, Fiber, and Smart Choice Labels. The Smart Choice labels can be found on food containing fewer than 400 calories or 30 grams of fat. Informational pamphlets can be found in dining halls and eating places around campus. The information provides students with nutritional suggestions that they need to know, like the recommended daily intake of fruits and vegetables.
Education is really lacking, Pohlmeier said. Some people may assume that lower calorie or low-fat meals lack taste, but McMurrey and Pohlmeier are working to ensure students like what they are being served. McMurrey said he is doing his best to make sure students get what they are paying for, too. A nine-month dining plan averages $3,000, and the operations cost is $1,850, according to the Texas Tech Hospitality Service's website. McMurrey said the operations cost includes gas, water, heat and light.
With almost 30 locations for eating on campus, students are sure to get variety in menus. Cook-to-order venues and retail food stops are popping up all over campus, and McMurrey said dining halls could be on their way out in the next few years.
The time between classes can be quick, so students are looking for a fast, but satisfying, meal. McMurrey said people in general do not want food that is cold, lacking in taste or overpriced. But trying to feed almost 30,000 students can be difficult, which is the challenging part of his job, McMurrey said.
"That's the first rule in hospitality, you can't make everybody happy, but you could do your best," he said.
McMurrey is trying to accommodate all students. With vegetarian menus, he said he is sure that those who choose to cut meat out of their diet are pleased. A gluten-free venue is expected to debut in fall 2011.
Cook-to-order stations give students the option to make their own meals, Pohlmeier said. Students could make choices, such as serving sauce on the side or a particular cooking method that does not require oil.
"I think education teaches (students) how to eat healthier on campus without everybody having to sacrifice if they want mac'n'cheese. I just think that it is really hard to change the obesogenic environment," she said.
The nutritionists in the Human Sciences Building are working with Hospitality Services on several projects and trying to make changes to menus. Reed and McMurrey agree that education is the key to ensuring the health of Texas Tech students.
"We're just not even kind of getting the basics. The basics are that people need to know where they can go to find out how many calories they need to eat and how to manage that within a day, with their food intake, and their physical activity," Reed sad. "It's just not happening. There's no required courses. There are universities that require nutrition and physical activity," she said.
If Texas Tech required a nutrition class, students would be required to be equipped with the tools they need to lead a healthy lifestyle, she said. Other policies also could be implemented, such as providing healthier food choices at sporting events and at student organization meetings.
"I haven't read too much about them changing up the snack bars at sporting events," Reed said.
At higher education institutions, students are pouring money into their learning experience, from books and class fees to housing and dining bucks. But students are not learning some lessons in the classroom that are vital to life after college. Reed said a national survey found that healthy eating habits are one of the most important employee characteristics that employers want.
"College students are the next generation of parents and employees," she said. "Students learn how to do it in college, healthy eating and healthy habits in general. If you're neglecting your health for academics or for pleasure, then you're not really going to finish college with all the skills your employers are looking for."
She said weight is important, but fitness is important too. The two do not necessarily go together, but most of the time they do, she said.
"We don't want to focus so much on the weight that we create eating disorders, but at the same time, we know that there are those people who need to be making healthier food choices and getting more physically active. If they take care of those two things, guess what? About 90 percent of people will lose weight."
She recommends whole grain products, fruits and vegetables, and 30 minutes of physical activity per day. She said to start with small steps. "You don't have to cut out, just cut down," she said.
One of the main factors that contribute to weight gain is sleep deprivation. Reed said decreased sleep increases a person's propensity to overeat because when a person feels tired, he or she eats more.
"First of all, having good sleep habits is actually very much related to managing your weight. If you go once or twice a semester out at 2 a.m., that's OK, but if that is a habit, that's probably not a good habit," she said.
Reed believes nutrition and physical activity are low on people's priority lists because they are too worried about work, school or meetings. Every student organization that meets in the Human Sciences Building serves soft drinks and pizza. She said the FIT Tech website provides healthier alternatives to serve during meetings. She also suggested incorporating physical activities in meetings. She said because a few people frequently come a few minutes early to a meeting, they should take advantage of the time for a walk.
Both Reed and McMurrey are looking for answers to provide students with healthy lifestyles. Reed said students need to tell her what their challenges are and what kind of help they need in order to overcome barriers. "Quite honestly, I don't get it, because I'm already in that mode. You don't have to convince me, but I don't know what it would take to motivate someone else," she said.
McMurrey is also looking to students for answers. You need to know what your customers want and how they feel to accomplish what they expect, he said.

RALEIGH, N.C. (Feb. 24, 2012) - The William and Mary women's gymnastics team earned its best score of the season and placed fourth at a quad meet hosted by 19th-ranked North Carolina State on Friday evening. N.C. State won the meet title with a 196.675 and was followed by Kent State (194.450), Towson (193.925) and W&M (192.400).
In addition to posting its best score of the season, W&M also established season highs on bars (48.725) and floor (48.650). The bars score was the eighth-best mark in school history.
Senior Kristin Milardo highlighted the Tribe's individual performances and recorded a career high in all-around for the second-consecutive week (38.975). The impressive score ranks tied for the third-best mark in school history.
W&M opened the meet on beam and was led by Milardo's team-best 9.650. Freshman Brandy Stover's 9.625 and sophomore Katie Durst's career-high 9.575 also contributed to the squad's team total of 46.875.
The College placed second as a team on floor en route to registering a season-high 48.650. Led by Milardo and freshman Maggie Lundeen's pair of 9.800s, four Tribe gymnasts established or equaled career bests in the event. Freshman Stacia Ruse and sophomore Larson Lasek were among that group and earned a 9.725 and a 9.700, respectively.
Milardo led the Tribe on vault by equaling a career high (9.800) and helped the team post a 48.150. Ruse also came up big with a career-best 9.650, while Durst and sophomore Jessica Pritchard recorded a pair of 9.575s.
W&M closed the meet with an excellent performance on bars and posted the eighth-best total in school history in the event (48.725). Ruse and Pritchard tallied career highs with a pair of 9.775s, while Milardo, Lundeen and Lasek all registered 9.725s.
Although Milardo was W&M's top all-around performer with a 38.975, Pritchard (38.125), Ruse (38.025) and Lasek (36.975) also competed in all four events.
The Tribe will return to action next Friday when it competes in a quad meet hosted by Towson.

Muscle Strain-Lower Back

Daaaaang. Herniated Discs Suck.
Hey all,
So I herniated a disc about a month ago and didn't exactly know it. I was doing squats improperly and hurt my lower back. I went to a Bone Setter (Japanese translation) close to the school I work at because I was having some serioius back pain. He worked me over with some electric pads and slight twisting. Leaving there I felt worse than I had before.
The next day I was rushed to the hospital with debilitating pain that forced me to collapse on my kitchen floor.
a week later I was diagnosed with a herniated disc by my MRI results. My doctor told me not to snowboard for at least one month.
I cancelled two trips to Nagano for December and have shifted them to January.
I have healed considerably. I can walk and get out of bed no problems and don't need any pain killers. But I do still have this dull pain if I bend at the hip to my right. Like, if I slide my right hand down my right leg. I get a little shot of pain.
I'm just hoping that my back will be able to handle the twisting that snowboarding will put it through.
Any stretches I should do? Anything I should avoid while snowboarding. I know no one is a doctor (maybe) and I have read A LOT online, but I really want to hear from a snowboarders perspective...
