a night I have come home from a long day at work, tummy grumbling something terrible. You know the feeling:
I'm hungry and I'm hungry now! And I'm tired and my coach looks so comfortable!

busy day, you had to skip lunch, and you are cranky and exhausted. Sure, you heard that guy on the radio this
morning talking about all the delicious gourmet food he's been cooking, but really, where does that punk
find the time? The last thing you want to do right now is cook. But darn it, today I am here to tell you: do it
my kitchen inspiration form the meals he would throw together for my brother and me on a school night. He would
always swear that his cooking came out better when he was under the gun. I think he felt that a time constraint
made him focus and didn't allow him to fuss with a recipe too much and add too many things. My father also
cooks very much by intuition, not following recipes but making up dishes on the spot. When something came out
well, he would always chuckle and say, "Well, there's something I'll never be able to cook
again." But, while no dish was ever exactly the same, I think his ability to cook well on the fly and under
pressure showed me some essential home cooking skills.
I am just dead tired, there is no food in the refrigerator, and I am tempted by a frozen pizza, when I have made

foods. And empty calories will not cheer us up for long. So when you think you are too tired and hungry for a home
cooked meal, grab a small snack and go to your mental file of truly last minute quick and easy dishes. I'm
talking about a half dozen ingredients or less, just a few steps, set it and forget it, under 30 minutes to the

hypothetical to real life scenario, because earlier this week I found myself in this very predicament. I had
worked late, skipped lunch, and had almost no motivation to cook. But my housemates were home, and wanted to do
dinner together, so I resisted the urge to open a can of soup and call it a day.
tastiest dinners I've had in a long time: breaded baked tilapia, sautéed broccoli and bok choy, and
some wild rice pilaf. This dish truly takes about 5 minutes of preparation, and you can be eating a healthy and
delicious meal 20 minutes later.
because it is inexpensive and easy to cook. But you want to make sure you check the source and avoid certain
countries of origin. I use Seafood Watch, which is a project of the Monterey Bay Aquarium, to research the
sustainability of the fish I eat. Us farm raised tilapia has a "best choice" rating. The problem is,
most of our tilapia is imported. Avoid tilapia that was raised in China or Taiwan, because they can contain
pollutants or nasty things you shouldn't really eat, and are raised with little oversight. Tilapia farmed in
South and Central America is considered a "good alternative". If you can't find tilapia that
meets your standards, you can substitute any number of white fish fillets.
which is now available at most supermarkets. This is a Japanese bread crumb, and according the ever handy
Wikipedia: "Panko is made from bread baked by passing an electric current through the dough,
"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bread_crumbs#cite_note-UpperCrust-1">[1]yielding bread without crusts. It has a crisper, more
airy texture than most types of breading found in

"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_cuisine">Western cuisineand resists absorbing oil or grease when fried, resulting in a
lighter coating."
but traditional breadcrumbs would be fine, and in fact I ended up using about ¼ cup Italian breadcrumbs
mixed into the panko. And we aren't going
to mess with any kind of 3 step breading process that we have used in the past. Instead we are just going to mix
melted butter, some spices, and the panko bread crumbs together, coat the fish, and bake it for a few minutes
until it gets crispy. This is an easy, forgiving, and tasty recipe that is a lot cleaner and healthier than fried
tilapia fillets we will need:

style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"> Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and
grease or spray a baking sheet. In a medium shallow bowl or dish, melt the butter on the stovetop or in the
microwave. Toss in the panko and bread crumbs and toss to evenly get them all buttered up. Add in the seasonings
and chopped parsley and mix again. It should be noted that I raided my spice cabinet for this and just sort of

seasonings here, because basically anything savory will work.
moist, so the breadcrumbs shouldn't have too much trouble sticking. But get the underside of each filet
nicely coated and set them in the greased pan. Sprinkle a little extra lemon pepper over each filet so we know
they will be well seasoned, then top off each piece evenly with the rest of the buttered and seasoned panko
12-15 minutes on the middle rack. The tilapia is done when it flakes easily with a fork. You might want to finish
them off with just 30-60 seconds or so under the broiler, so the breading gets a little more browned and crispy. I
do not recommend trying to flip the fillets half way through, because they will probably just fall apart and make
a mess. One of the nice things about tilapia is that it is thin, so it cooks quickly and evenly and you
don't need to worry about turning it over.

"> Serve the fillets topped with some
more chopped parsley and a squeeze of fresh citrus to wake up the crispy, delicious, seasoned breading. Now, this
is no fancy high class meal, but it is very good, good for you, and super easy. The butter in the breading helped
keep the fish moist, and the panko is crispy and irresistible.
sautéed broccoli and bok choy and some wild rice pilaf. To be honest, the rice mixture came from a box. I
really do think it is ok to cut corners sometimes in the interest of making a home cooked meal when you are in a
rush or stressed out. So, sure, allow yourself to save some time and steps if that is what makes the difference
between eating home made or junk food.
"background: white; color: black; font-size: 10pt
"> The broccoli and bok choy would be
just fine steamed, which is probably the easiest method (but add the bok choy at the very end, jut before the
broccoli is done, or it will overcook). I took a more Asian route and sautéed a small sliced onion in
sesame and canola oil, then added chopped broccoli spears and sautéed, stirring, for about 8 minutes or so.
Then I added a dollop of black bean garlic sauce, a dribble of wasabi soy sauce, and the chopped bok choy. I also
splashed on a few tablespoons of water to help it steam a bit, stirred once more, and covered for another 2
minutes or so, or until everything was tender. There was no real plan or organization for this broccoli and bok
choy side dish, but that is how I ended up cooking them and it was a very tasty and easy preparation.
sautéed Asian-style broccoli and bok choy, the baked breaded tilapia made a delicious week night meal. If
you stay focused you could truly have this meal on the table in well under a half an hour, and clean up is not so

Chicago — Nov. 3
Employers expect seasonal hiring in 2011 to be on par with 2010, according to a CareerBuilder survey.
Companies across industries expect to hire a similar number of seasonal workers for key areas such as sales, customer service, shipping, administrative support and other positions. Nearly three in 10 retailers (29 percent) plan to have extra hands on deck around the holidays, a moderate decline from 2010. One in 10 (10 percent) hospitality companies will add seasonal staff, the same as last year.
"Employers are keeping the status quo for holiday hiring as economic uncertainties shake consumer confidence," said Matt Ferguson, CEO of CareerBuilder. "While retail has the lion's share of seasonal jobs, you can also find opportunities in various industries and corporate roles. Hiring managers continually tell us that they will transition some seasonal workers into permanent employees, so you want to apply early and let the employer know up front that you're interested in long-term employment."
When looking at functional areas within an office or store, popular areas for recruitment this holiday season include:
• Customer service – 30 percent
• Administrative/clerical support – 16 percent
• Shipping/delivery – 15 percent
• Technology – 12 percent
• Inventory management – 10 percent
• Non-retail sales – 9 percent
• Accounting/finance – 8 percent
• Marketing – 8 percent
More than half of employers (53 percent) reported they will pay $10 or more per hour to seasonal staff, up from 48 percent last year. Fourteen percent will pay $16 or more, up from 9 percent last year.
While holiday jobs fill up quickly, 33 percent of employers who are hiring seasonal staff reported they are still recruiting for open positions in November. Eleven percent said they may still be recruiting as late as December.

Jerry Rinehart, vice provost for Student Affairs
LeeAnn Melin, associate director, Office for Student Engagement and Leadership
In 2007, the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities adopted Student Learning and Development Outcomes to frame the undergraduate experience. These outcomes are intended to define a common vision across campus regarding the types of skills and characteristics we expect of our graduates. This project specifically looks at ways to integrate the Student Development Outcomes (SDO) into various programs and activities across campus and to develop a strategy for significantly expanding the number of students having the opportunity to reflect upon their experiences through the framework of the SDO. In brief, the Student Development Outcomes include the following:
We talk about these outcomes as characteristics which we expect students to both demonstrate as they participate in our academic environment and to develop further as they engage in learning experiences in and outside of the curriculum.
Students, of course, come to our campus with these characteristics already developed to some extent – they would not have been successful students in high school without some of these characteristics. We also know that the maturation we (often) see in students during their undergraduate years is related to growth in these areas.
The PEL project will create a range of tools that are adaptable by faculty and staff to fit the variety of ways in which they interact with students, including setting expectations for student performance in the classroom, advising student organizations, supervising student employees/lab assistants, and working on research projects or mentoring students.
The SDO were initiated within the units in the Office for Student Affairs in 2004-2005 to articulate the impact of their activities and programs on student development and learning. As the University moved forward in identifying Student Learning Outcomes, the Provost determined that the learning and the development outcomes should be presented in tandem for faculty review and formal adoption.
The overall context for the implementation of the development outcomes can be discerned from a review of two NASPA publications: Learning Reconsidered: A Campus-Wide Focus on the Student Experience (2004); and Learning Reconsidered 2: Implementing a Campus-Wide Focus on the Student Experience (2006).
During the past several years, we have made some progress incorporating the outcomes in selected areas of student employment (i.e. Student Unions and Activities, Housing and Residential Life, Disability Services), creating a format for job descriptions, performance reviews, supervisory training, and feedback sessions. A few program areas have also tied their efforts to the outcomes, most notably, the Welcome Week program for new freshmen.

This Dragon tree is about 2ft tall and as you can see it appears to be dieing from the top ie the dead leaves. I have been told you can cut a dragon tree back down its main stem and it will regrow is this true?
Yes, that's true Ogster, they can be cut back. Also the stem that you cut off can be cut into sections and planted (right way up), you'll get baby dracaenas.
How much of the cut of stems should i re-plant ?
ogster, I successfully used 6-8 inch lengths, buried about 1/3rd into a 50/50 mix of sharp sand and multi-purpose potting compost. To make sure you plant things the right way up, the general method is to cut the bottom straight across and then trim the top at an angle. If you always do that, things can never get mixed-up. I was also advised to leave the cuttings for a few hours before planting so that the cuts calloused over - I'm not sure whether that is strictly necessary but it worked for me.
Edit:, I just checked and this very site has advice:
Different from mine, so you might want to try both ways - looks as though you have plenty of source material to experiment with!
Ogster, when you have grown your baby dracaenas, you can shorten the stems, and often will then get two or three heads in the place of the one that you removed. You will see little bumps on the stem. These are potential new growth, so cut to just above one.
And NEVER overwater. The die very quickly if too wet. Always let them dry out to at least a couple of inches below the soil surface before watering thoroughly, then remove any water from the saucer after a few minutes.I used to be an itnterior gardener, and we only watered some of our dracaenas every 6 wks or more. Always feel your soil before watering. Most plants will recover from quite severe underwatering, but will die if constantly wet, so go easy on the water.
Hi, I took cuttings with my primary school gardening club and had 100% success. We cut the stems into10cm lengths putting the 'bottoms' of the stems in a cup of water and waited for the roots to appear (which they did) We then potted up in compost mixed with some sand and the stems began to develop bumps then leaves. The original plants sprouted bumps and new leaves too and all our babies grew well and we sold them at a school fair.

Today I got woke up from my husband calling me saying our dog is mauling a kitten. He was running late for work and happen to see her while he was running out the door is why he didn't handle the situtation. I ran outside and luckily it was still alive cause she already killed a few others. We have gotten after her for it but she is a english bulldog and is stubborn. While I was taking her out back to tie her up so she doesn't grab it again I found one she had already killed. I picked it up and moved it so the other dogs don't drag it around or encourage mine to eat or kill another one. I took the other kitten over to the barn where the mother had them.
My concern is that I've been trying to avoid touching cats due to that parasite in cat feces and the cats around here are all outside barn cats. I had gotten some cat hair in my mouth while taking the kitten back to the barn. I spit it out but I don't know what could of possibly been on it other than dog spit.
I am almost 10 weeks along and I didn't know if there was a test or if it would show up on an ultrasound if I would happen to get the parasite. I wash my hands after touching any animals but since the hair got into my mouth I'm worried.

Both our daughters, 13 and 4, have allowances that limit the "gimmes."
Twice a year, our teen gets a $250 debit card to spend on clothes. Once that's gone, she has to spend her own money. As a result she's a very good shopper and looks askance at friends who need name brands and get whatever they want from their parents. Our 4-year-old hasn't really started asking for stuff yet—besides food.

Formal Women Wear and the Evolution of Jewelry
By: fashiontips2011 |
Mankind wasn't the only ones that evolved since the cavemen days, even jewelries have evolved greatly ever since. Women back then would use anything as adornments on their body such as flowers, stones and decorate themselves with it. Not much has changed today but the people and jewelry have greatly evolved that's for sure.

With the current economic situation and huge numbers of unemployed here it doesn't make any sense to allow another million to enter the country to compete with the millions already unemployed. The government should put a temporary hold on legal immigration until such time as the unemployed numbers come down. Don Perera, Rocklin

4 Stocks Soaring on Unusual Volume
(CECO - Get Report) This is a global education company, which is an on-ground provider of private, for-profit, postsecondary education in the U.S. and also has a presence in online education. This stock is trading up 7.6% to $3.25 in recent trading.Today's Range: $3.04-$3.25 52-Week Range: $2.51-$12.41 Volume: 254,000 Three-Month Average Volume: 674,579 From a technical perspective, CECO is bouncing higher here right around some near-term support at $3 with light volume. This move has started to push CECO into breakout territory, since the stock has moved above some near-term overhead resistance at $3.12. Shares of CECO are now quickly moving within range of triggering another breakout trade. That trade will hit once CECO takes out its 50-day at $3.35 with high volume. Traders should now look for long-biased trades in CECO as long as it's trending above $3, and then once it sustains a move or close above its 50-day at $3.35 with volume that hits near or above 674,579 shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then CECO will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance levels at $3.95 to $4.34. Any high-volume move above $4.34 will then put $5.08 to its 200-day at $5.32 into focus for shares of CECO. City Telecom (CTEL) This company is a Hong Kong-based provider of residential and corporate fixed telecommunications network and international telecommunications services. This stock is trading up 9.5% to $5.54 in recent trading. Today's Range: $5.41-$5.71 52-Week Range: $3.64-$13.86 Volume: 313,000 Three-Month Average Volume: 128,790 From a technical perspective, CTEL is gapping higher here right off some near-term support at $5 with above-average volume. This move has started to push CTEL into breakout territory, since the stock has challenges some past overhead resistance at $5.63. At last check, CTEL has hit an intraday high of $5.71 and volume is well above its three-month average action of 128,790 shares. Traders should now look for long-biased trades in CTEL as long as it's trending above $5, and then once it sustains a move or close above $5.63 to $5.71 with volume that hits near or above 128,790 shares. If CTEL can maintain that trend, then this stock will set up to re-fill some of its massive gap from July that started around $10. One possible upside target for CTEL if it starts to get into that gap with volume is its 200-day at $7.74.Career Education

Organize Multiple Inboxes in Gmail
From Wired How-To Wiki
There's an enhancement available for Google's Gmail service which lets you see multiple views of your inbox on one screen. It's called Multiple Inboxes.
It's important to note that this feature doesn't let you view multiple Gmail accounts or multiple inboxes on one web page. Instead, it shows you multiple views of your inbox on one page. So, you can have one pane show all incoming messages, one pane for starred messages, one pane for messages with a particular label, one for drafts, and so on.
Activating 'Multiple Inboxes'
The feature can be activated on Gmail's Labs page
1. While logged in to Gmail, click on Settings.
2. Go to the "Labs" tab and check the Multiple Inboxes box.
3. Back in your inbox, you will now see the default three-panel view. To make changes to the default view, go into Settings and click on the "Multiple Inboxes" tab, which should now show up.
Altering the Default View
The default view puts two panes (starred and drafts) to the right of your mailbox. However, you can change this default view and set up your multi-panel inbox however you'd like.
This page is a wiki and can be edited by anyone. Got extra tips for modifying Gmail's Multiple Inboxes? Add them here!
'Stack' the Inbox Views
The default view minimizes the amount of scrolling needed to see everything, but it also does away with the checkboxes in the smaller panes, meaning you have to leave your split-screen view if you want to archive, delete or bulk process any of the messages in the filtered panes.
In the Multiple Inboxes settings, you can change the configuration so that your filtered panes appear above or below your master inbox. You get the checkboxes back, and your subject lines aren't truncated as sharply, so you can see more information about each message.
Set Labels and Filters
You can set up custom searches in the panels using Gmail's standard search syntax. Enter terms like these below into the appropriate pane in the Settings tab for Multiple Inboxes.
label:foo - Shows only messages with a specific label
label:foo label:bar - Shows messages labeled both "foo" and "bar"
label:foo OR label:bar - Shows messages labeled either "foo" or "bar"
is:unread - Shows only unread messages
is:starred - Shows only starred messages
is:chat - Shows only archived Gmail chat sessions
is:sent - Shows your outbox, or only e-mails you've sent
Tip: You can combine any of these criteria and refine your searches simply by separating the terms using spaces. To run "or" searches, which include all messages that meet any of the criteria you're searching for, put the word "OR" (with both letters capitalized) in between each search term.
Tip: To keep messages from showing up in multiple places, you can set Gmail's filters to auto-archive any of the messages that will end up in one of your secondary panes. That way, they never show up in your master inbox, they just go straight to the smaller panes.
Additional Reading
- There's a Google Group for Multiple Inboxes, and people are posting additional tips there. You can also go there to ask a question if you need help.

If I'm honest with myself I would probably say I have a sugar addiction. It only takes a minute to look at the recipes on this blog to see that the majority of them are delectable sweet treats – all fabulous I might add! But there has been a quiet whisper around the place that sugar just might be BAD for you. Could it be so?
Surprisingly, I'm actually willing to find out. I'm going to do it – I'm going to try the 'sugar free' diet. Will it be a fad? A passing phase? Or a permanent change? I cannot say, but I'm going to find out!
My first awareness of the 'sugar free diet' was introduced to me by my cousin Kym. She has always been pretty health conscious and about a year ago she announced she was on a grain free, sugar free diet. She set herself and her family the goal of a few months and away she went. She rid herself and her pantry of any sugar temptation and set out to discover a new world… one without the shackles of breads and sweets. She is actually still going strong down the sugar fee road.
The idea intrigued me at the time and I thought it might be something I'd like to try in the future….. the distant future LOL! I'm not cutting out the grains at this stage – but the sugar has got to go!
So why now? There are a combination of reasons. One of them being, I feel like crap I'm constantly drained of energy, and always tired and anything that may help this is worth a shot. The other reason which is highly motivating – I'm now the Mum to a beautiful 5 month old little boy who is just about to start on solids. Yes, that's right I am now responsible for the complete diet of another person and I don't take this responsibility lightly. After being raised with an appalling diet (the staples being meat, chocolate, and fast food) which has taken MANY years of work to get to where I am now (actually eating vegetables LOL) the last thing I want to do is inflict this kind of abuse on to my off-spring. (Abuse? Sounds a little harsh, I know… sorry Mum and Dad… I'm sure you tried your best but to be honest it was crap! As a result I struggled with eating healthy, got fat in my early 20's when my metabolism slowed and spent the next 5 years yo-yoing with my weight and feeling bad about myself. Tell me that isn't abuse?)
So what now? I guess getting rid of all the sugar in the house would be a good first step!
Oh, did I mention I'm including fruit and natural sweeteners such as honey and maple syrup in my sugar free diet? … this is going to be fun! :S

DALLAS ( TheStreet) -- Think a killer Super Bowl spread and a 55-inch HD screen are big enough splurges for the big game? That's arena-league compared with superfans' Super Bowl swag.The average consumer is set to spend an average of $59.33 on Super Bowl-related stuff such as snacks and apparel this year, according to the National Retail Federation. That's up from $52.63 last year, but still an infinitesimally small fraction of what well-heeled, big-spending fans will part with for tickets, TVs and other Super Bowl toys this year.

Two inmates at the Fulton Reception and Diagnostic Center died within three days of each other — both of natural causes, the Missouri Department of Corrections has reported.
Walter Brown, 85, was pronounced dead at 9:31 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 25, at Callaway Community Hospital, according to a press release from the Missouri Department of Corrections. Brown, who died of apparent natural causes, had been serving a four-year sentence starting Feb. 10, 2012, for "knowingly burning or exploding," the press release stated. Brown resided in Deepwater before incarceration, according to online court records, and pleaded guilty to the crime in Johnson County.
Thor Caven, 41, was pronounced dead at 12:49 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 28, at St. Mary's Hospital in Jefferson City, a separate press release from the DOC stated. Caven, also at the Fulton Reception and Diagnostic Center, was serving a seven-year sentence on possession of a controlled substance, forgery and failure to register as a sex offender, according to the press release. Caven had residence listed in Olathe, Kan., Lawrence, Kan., Belton and High Ridge over the past 14 years, according to online court records. Caven died of natural causes, the release stated.

Email of the Day
Jim Burroway
September 10th, 2012
Eugene Delgaudio is worried:
Right now, the Supreme Court of the United States is holding the future of morality and marriage in their hands. I am very worried about the number of radical pro-homosexual cases the Court is currently considering.
…Despite overwhelming support and popularity, a federal court of appeals ruled that a legal definition of marriage as one man and one woman is somehow unconstitutional. And now the ruling is being appealed to the Supreme Court. Public Advocate has gathered hundreds of thousands of signatures to submit along with an amicus (Friend of the Court) brief in defense of Prop 8 once the Court starts proceedings.
But in just the past few weeks, I have filed two additional amicus briefs to assist in pro-Family battles. On August 2nd, Public Advocate submitted a brief asking the Courts to hold President Obama accountable for his refusal to enforce the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). It's been more than a year since he declared that he would change the nation's laws by presidential decree, yet he has faced no punishment for this illegal action. Public Advocate has also filled a brief opposing the activist ruling of Massachusetts's First Circuit Court of Appeals. The First Court has tried to rule that DOMA is unconstitutional.
…My friend, the fate of our nation is truly hanging in the balance right now. But I am confident that the amicus briefs Public Advocate has submitted will make a difference. When the Boy Scouts were forced to defend their moral leadership policy, Public Advocate's amicus brief played a key role in their victory.
Of course, you know what eases his mind, don't you?
P.S. Please prayerfully consider chipping in with a donation of $10 or more to help Public Advocate fight for traditional values.

The kid disco class at Empowered Wellness in Rochester gets kids up to five years old moving with dancing and games. (Submitted photo)
Katie Button-Swenson, left, and Emily Watkins, right, are co-owners of Empowered Wellness in Rochester.
Empowered Wellness, a Rochester fitness studio, is starting 2013 with classes geared toward families and children, plus their first-ever, six-month Health and Wellness Challenge. They will have new adult classes, such as a kickboxing class and new strength training classes. People who live in Rochester and the surrounding area can try one class for free.
Classes for kids
Co-owners Emily Watkins and Katie Button-Swenson opened their studio in 2011 to build a community focused on healthy living, one that supports all ages, including kids.
Watkins says getting kids to exercise routinely helps their parents because when parents see their kids exercising, it's a reminder for them to exercise, too. And when parents exercise, it sets a good example for their kids.
Mixed in to Empowered Wellness' class schedule are these four options for children:
• Kid Disco: Open to children up to five years old, this is 30 minutes of dancing and games. "I really want it to be a place for kids to be crazy for a half hour," says Watkins, who teaches the class. The class has structure, she says, but kids are given the freedom to move how they want. Watkins and Button-Swenson, who are each moms to young children, started Kid Disco as a way to get kids out of the house and active during winter. Cost: $30 per family for a six-week session Next session: Tuesdays, Feb. 12 to March 19, 9:15 a.m. to 9:45 a.m.
• Zumbatomic: This 45-minute Zumba class is open to ages 8-14. Zumba is a popular form of world dance-inspired group fitness. Zumbatomic uses age appropriate dance moves and popular music, and focuses more on practicing the moves than traditional Zumba. "It's an exercise program to music they know and moves they can pick up so they can feel successful, get exercise and have fun," says Watkins.
Cost: $30 per child for a six-week session Next session: Tuesdays, Feb. 12 to March 19, 4:30 p.m. to 5:15 p.m.
• Little Lotus Warriors
Thirty minutes of yoga for preschoolers. Cost: $30 per child for a three-week session Next session: First session is Wednesdays, Feb. 13 to Feb. 27. Second session is Wednesdays, March 13 to March 27 (no class March 6), 9:30 a.m. to 10 a.m.
• Family Disco: This is a chance for kids up to 10 years old and their parents to exercise together. The hour-long class combines Zumba-style dance, easy yoga and an activity. An activity could be picking up cotton balls with nothing but your feet to improve feet strength.
Cost: $15 per family per class. This class will be held quarterly. Next class: Sunday, Feb. 17, 11 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Health and Wellness Challenge Empowered Wellness' first Health and Wellness Challenge will run from January to June. Members will set their own goals to improve their health. Participants will be judged based on their improvement in cardio respiratory efficiency, upper body/core strength and their choice of either body fat percentage or body circumference. First place wins a six-month membership to Empowered Wellness. Second and third place winners each receive a one-month membership.

The former Clemson receiver met briefly with the media at the NFL Combine Saturday afternoon and he said that he has prepared over these last three months to show scouts and coaches that he can be the dominant player that they are looking for.
"For me, I think I can do just about anything on the field from wide receiver to running back to slot -- I can make plays all over the field," Watkins said. "What I love doing is dominating defenses. I think that's what I bring to the game and I think that's going to turn over to the NFL. When I come into the NFL I think I can be that dominant receiver."
Watkins has seen George Washington Carver's quote - "When you can do the common things in life in an uncommon way, you will command the attention of the world," every day in Clemson's indoor practice facility and he expects to do just that when he works out tomorrow with the very best receivers in the country.
"Overall, I think we have a great class at receiver and I think I have to be uncommon when I go out there and run tomorrow with all of the drills and run great routes," Watkins said. "I'm pretty sure everyone is going to do a great job, but I have to separate myself someway some how."
He wants to prove that he can do all of the little things.
"I try to be physical down the field at all times, as far as getting off of the press, blocking down field. To be that dominant receiver, I need that total package as far as catching balls. Everyone knows all receivers can catch balls and score, but for me, it's about focusing on the little things—blocking, getting off the press, being physical downfield and being a dominant receiver."
Included in those little things? Breaking the Combine record in the 40-yard dash.
"I'm wanting to run something crazy and break the combine record and run the fastest time out there," he said.
Watkins was made to do all of those little things while he was at Clemson, and he said that having great coaches and great teammates helped him to get to this point in his career.
"The past two years, I've been blessed to have two great coaches and play with one of the best receivers to ever play in college – DeAndre Hopkins," he said. "I learned a lot from him as he taught me the ropes. That's who I want to make my game like as far as catching the ball, being physical. Over the years he definitely helped me become who I am today. We still get in touch and we still work on things.
If the former Clemson standout proves what he can do, his life-long dream will finally come true.
"Hopefully, I go in the top 10. That's the ultimate goal that I've been working for all of my life," he said.
Watkins said that he has had meetings with the Jets (18th pick) and the Browns (4th pick) so far and has a meeting with the Lions (10th pick) scheduled.

Chronic and Acute Neck and Low Back Pain
There can be many underlying causes of moderate to severe back pain, including:
- Overuse, strenuous activity, improper use or repetitive heavy lifting
- Trauma, injury or fractures
- Stress on the muscles and ligaments that support the spine, resulting in degeneration
- Increased weight on the spine and pressure on the discs, as a result of obesity
- Poor muscle tone
- Sprain or strain
- Ligament or muscle tears
- Joint problems, such as arthritis
- Smoking
- Protruding or herniated (slipped) disc and pinched nerve
- Osteoporosis
- Congenital (present at birth) abnormalities
Axial Back Pain
This type of lower back pain can vary. Symptoms of axial back pain can be a sharp or dull pain, felt constantly or intermittently. Axial back pain symptoms can range from mild to severe pain. The most common type of axial back pain is "mechanical" and is characterized by low back pain that:
- Gets worse with certain activities, such as sports
- Gets worse with certain positions, such as sitting for long periods
- Is relieved by rest
Axial pain is the most common type of lower back pain, and it is usually non-specific – meaning that the anatomical structure responsible for the pain need not be identified because symptoms are usually self-limited and resolve.
Abnormal wear on the cartilage and bones of the neck causes spondylolysis. There are often no symptoms of spondylolysis.
- Lower back pain
- Muscle tightness (tight hamstring muscle)
- Pain in the thighs and buttocks
- Stiffness
- Tenderness in the area of the slipped disc
- The space at the center of the spine
- The canals where nerves branch out from the spine
- The space between vertebrae (the bones of the spine)
Atypical intractable facial pain
Atypical facial pain is a pain disorder of the face which shares some features with nerve pain conditions such as trigeminal neuralgia. The pain may be different – most often longer in duration (minutes, hours, or continuous), and of a dull, aching, burning, sharp, squeezing or crushing quality. Sometimes, the causes of atypical intractable facial pain may be sinus surgery, dental work, facial trauma or an injury to a small branch of one of the three divisions of the trigeminal nerve.
Complex regional pain syndrome
Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a chronic pain condition. One of the common symptoms of complex regional pain syndrome is a continuous, intense pain, out of proportion to the severity of the injury. The pain gets worse rather than better over time. CRPS most often affects one of the arms, legs, hands, or feet. Often the pain spreads to the entire arm or leg. Other typical symptoms of complex regional pain syndrome include dramatic changes in the color and temperature of the skin over the affected limb or body part, accompanied by intense burning pain, skin sensitivity, sweating, and swelling. Doctors aren't sure what causes complex regional pain syndrome.
Headaches are defined as pain in the head located above the eyes or the ears, behind the head (occipital), or in the back of the upper neck. There are two types of headaches: primary headaches and secondary headaches. Primary headaches are not caused by other diseases. Examples of primary headaches and their causes are migraine headaches, tension headaches and cluster headaches. The causes of secondary headaches can be associated diseases and conditions such as brain tumors, strokes, meningitis, subarachnoid hemorrhages, caffeine withdrawal or discontinuation of analgesics.
Some migraine headaches are preceded or accompanied by sensory warning symptoms (aura), such as flashes of light, blind spots, or tingling in your arm or leg. Symptoms of migraine headaches can include intense throbbing or pulsing in one area of the head, nausea, vomiting and extreme sensitivity to light and sound. Migraine headaches can cause significant pain for hours or days. The pain can be so severe that those suffering can only think about finding a dark, quiet place to lie down. Common migraine headache causes or triggers include:
- Hormonal changes in women
- Foods
- Stress
- Sensory stimuli
- Sleep changes
- Environmental changes
- Medications
Fibromyalgia pain is a syndrome rather than a disease. A syndrome is a collection of signs, symptoms and medical problems that tend to occur together, but are not related to a specific, identifiable cause. A common and chronic disorder, fibromyalgia syndrome is characterized by symptoms such as:
- Widespread pain
- Fatigue
- Diffuse tenderness
- Cognitive and memory problems (sometimes referred to as "fibro fog")
- Sleep disturbances
- Morning stiffness
- Headaches
- Irritable bowel syndrome
- Painful menstrual periods
- Numbness or tingling of the extremities
- Restless legs syndrome
- Temperature sensitivity
- Sensitivity to loud noises or bright lights.
Post-Stroke Pain
Some stroke survivors experience post-stroke pain, ranging from mildly uncomfortable to severe pain that hinders stroke recovery. In some instances, post-stroke pain symptoms can simply go away with no explanation. Symptoms may occur right after a stroke or weeks or even months later. Stroke survivors may experience different types of post-stroke pain such as aching, burning, sharp, stabbing or itching pain.
Symptoms of post-stroke pain may include:
- Local or "mechanical" pain in a joint or joints
- Centralized pain caused by damage to the brain
- Chronic pain that comes and goes
- Pain on part or all of the side of the body affected by the stroke
- Pain on the face, arm, leg or torso
Cancer Pain
Causes of cancer pain are the cancer itself, the cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and the side effects of cancer treatment:
- The cancerous tumors can press on the body's organs, bones or nerves and cause pain. When tumors obstruct blood vessels, pain can occur.
- Cancer surgery
- Cancer treatments -- Chemotherapy treatment-related pain can include:
- Mouth sores (mucositis)
- Peripheral neuropathy (numb and sometimes painful sensations in the feet, legs, fingers, hands and arms)
- Constipation or diarrhea
- Nausea, vomiting and abdominal cramps
- Bone and joint pain
Most types of cancer pain can be managed with drug and non-drug therapies.
Usually, sciatica is caused by a prolapsed disc in the spine that presses on the sciatic nerve. Sometimes, a cause cannot be identified. Common causes of sciatica may include tumor, abscess, blood clot, awkward sitting position and nerve disorders. Sciatica symptoms may include:
- Lower back pain that radiates down the buttock and back of one thigh
- Pain that extends from the buttock down to the foot
- Numbness (in severe cases)
- Weakness (in severe cases)
Occipital Neuralgia
Most of the feeling in the back and top of the head is transmitted to the brain by the two greater occipital nerves. One nerve is located on each side of the head. Occipital neuralgia (pain) can be caused by damage to these nerves. One of the most common symptoms of occipital neuralgia is a chronic headache localized in the back of the head and around or over the top of the head. The pain can be a very intense sharp, jabbing, electric shock. Other occipital neuralgia symptoms may include:
- Aching, burning, and throbbing pain that typically starts at the base of the head and radiates to the scalp
- Pain on one or both sides of the head
- Pain behind the eye
- Sensitivity to light
- Tender scalp
- Pain when moving the neck
Causes of occipital neuralgia may be trauma (usually concussive), physical stress on the nerve, repetitious neck contraction, flexion or extension or a result of medical complications.
Infraorbital Neuralgia
The infraorbital nerve (ION) is a branch of the trigeminal nerve-the main nerve that provides sensation to facial skin. The infraorbital nerve supplies sensory innervations to the mid face, from the cheek to the nose. Causes of infraorbital neuralgia (nerve pain) may include trauma, plastic surgery, shingles or other viral infections that lead to nerve irritation. Symptoms of infraorbital neuralgia include sharp, shooting and tingling pain. Areas of the face may become very sensitive to touch. When the pain is severe, it can be disabling.
Supraorbital Neuralgia
The supraorbital nerve (SON) is a branch of the trigeminal nerve-the main nerve that provides sensation to facial skin. The SON provides superficial sensation from the forehead into the scalp line. Causes of supraorbital neuralgia (nerve pain) may include trauma, plastic surgery, shingles or other viral infections that lead to nerve irritation. Symptoms of supraorbital neuralgia include sharp, shooting and tingling pain. Areas of the face may become very sensitive to touch. When the pain is severe, it can be disabling.
Trigeminal Neuralgia
Trigeminal neuralgia is an extremely painful condition that usually involves one side of the face. It can occur spontaneously, but can also be associated with trauma or dental procedures. A feeling of "shock-like" pain travels through the face in just seconds and can be repetitive. The most commonly accepted theory of what causes trigeminal neuralgia is vascular compression. There are blood vessels that travel with the trigeminal nerve, and if they cause pressure on the nerve or irritate it, pain can occur.
Phantom Limb Pain
Many amputees experience some kind of "phantom" sensation in their amputated limbs. However, up to half of those who have phantom pain do not receive any treatment or relief from their pain. Phantom limb pain can be debilitating and may happen in a continuous cycle or brought on by outside factors such as temperature change or stress. The pain is more common in the immediate months after amputation, but can reoccur much later, too. Amputees describe their pain as if it were coming from their missing feet, toes or hands. Phantom limb pain symptoms include burning, stabbing and throbbing pain known as neuropathy. Possible causes of phantom limb pain include:
- Memory of limb pain – Some researchers theorize that after a limb is damaged beyond repair, the brain is accustomed to feeling the pain.
- Nerve bundle stimulation – The severed nerves around the amputation site either misfire or are stimulated in some way, sending a pain message to the brain.
- Rewiring of the nervous system – Some evidence shows that when a limb is amputated, changes take place in the brain and spinal cord that cause pain to be interpreted differently than before.
Stump Pain
Stump pain is located at the end of an amputated limb's stump. Unlike phantom limb pain, it occurs in the body part that actually exists. Symptoms of stump pain are described as a sharp, burning, electric-like or skin-sensitive pain. Damaged nerves in the stump region are the causes of stump pain.
Sickle Cell Disease
The symptoms of may vary widely from mild to very severe symptoms requiring hospitalization. Symptoms of sickle cell disease include:
- Fatigue
- Shortness of breath
- Dizziness
- Headaches
- Coldness in the hands and feet
- Paler than normal skin or mucous membranes (the tissue that lines your nose, mouth and other organs and body cavities)
- Jaundice (a yellowish color of the skin or whites of the eyes)
Pain of the Extremities
Pain of the extremities is a condition that describes the cramping pain (claudication) that occurs when blood flow cannot be increased to a muscle mass in response to the increased metabolic demands of exercise. Causes of extremity pain include wide-ranging conditions such as:
- Carpel tunnel syndrome
- Biceps tendonitis
- Reynaud's phenomenon
- Sickle cell anemia
- Black widow spider bites
- Polyneuropathy
- Cat scratch disease
- Post herpetic neuralgia
Osteoarthritis, a degenerative joint disease, is the most common type of arthritis and is caused by inflammation of the joints. Common symptoms of osteoarthritis are:
- Joint aching and soreness, especially with movement
- Pain after overuse or after long periods of inactivity
- Bony enlargements in the middle and end joints of the fingers (which may or may not be painful)
- Joint swelling and joint fluid accumulation
Polyneuropathy is a neurological disorder that occurs when peripheral nerves throughout the body malfunction simultaneously. It may be acute and appear without warning, or it may be chronic and develop gradually over a longer period of time. Symptoms of polyneuropathy can include weakness, loss of feeling or pins-and-needles sensations that frequently affect the feet and hands.
Neuropathy is a collection of disorders that occurs when nerves of the peripheral nervous system (the part of the nervous system outside of the brain and spinal cord) are damaged. The condition is generally referred to as peripheral neuropathy. Symptoms include pain and numbness in the hands and feet. Neuropathy causes result from traumatic injuries, infections, exposure to toxins and metabolic disorders such as diabetes.
Myofascial Pain Syndrome
Myofascial pain syndrome is a chronic form of muscle pain. The causes of myofascial pain syndrome center around sensitive points in your muscles called trigger points. The trigger points can be painful when touched, and the pain can spread throughout the affected muscle. Most people experience muscle pain that generally goes away in a few days. People with myofascial pain syndrome have muscle pain symptoms that persist or worsen. The syndrome has been linked to many types of pain, including headaches, jaw pain, neck pain, low back pain, pelvic pain and arm and leg pain.
Signs and symptoms of myofascial pain syndrome may include:
- Deep, aching pain in a muscle
- Pain that persists or worsens
- Muscle stiffness
- Joint stiffness near the affected muscle
- Area of tension in your muscle that may feel like a knot or tight spot and may be particularly sensitive to touch
- Difficulty sleeping due to pain
Shingles and Postherpetic Neuralgia (PHN)
Postherpetic neuralgia is a painful condition affecting nerve fibers and skin. The burning pain associated with postherpetic neuralgia can be severe enough to interfere with sleep and appetite. Postherpetic neuralgia is a complication of shingles, a condition caused by the chickenpox virus. Shingles usually clears up within a few weeks. But if the pain lasts for months or years after the shingles rash and blisters have disappeared, the pain is called postherpetic neuralgia. Symptoms of postherpetic neuralgia generally occur in the area of the skin where the shingles outbreak first occurred and may result in:
- Burning, sharp, jabbing, deep or aching pain
- Sensitivity to light touch - even the touch of clothing
- Itching and numbness - a less common symptom
- Muscle weakness or paralysis - in rare cases

Rats! Rodents eat evidence from homicide cases at MCSO
Published: Friday, March 14, 2014 at 5:19 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, March 14, 2014 at 5:19 p.m.
County officials are moving to combat a rodent infestation at the Sheriff's Office's evidence warehouse, where several packages holding crime evidence, including some related to homicide investigations, were damaged or destroyed.
Officials think rats gnawed through and deposited feces in a half-dozen cardboard boxes containing the property, and ate or scattered some pieces of evidence. In one instance, officials found a dead rat inside a box that held a garden hose linked to a 2004 murder case.
Sheriff Chris Blair's staff indicated that the rodents did not corrupt any cases that could go to trial.
"You could tell rats were chewing on a package, but it didn't affect anything," said Chief Deputy Fred LaTorre.
Lt. Chris Vorisek, who manages the evidence section, said of the damage: "It's not significant to any cases. It's been repackaged and taken care of."
The items were resealed and plans are in the works to shore up the building's defense against vermin, sheriff's officials said.
Blair's staff said the incident helps underscore the problem the agency faces with antiquated infrastructure, as Blair has been talking about for most of the past year.
Chief Assistant State Attorney Ric Ridgway said prosecutors were told about the breach. It's unclear at this point how that might affect some cases, he added.
While he could picture a defense attorney raising the rodent-related damage in court as a possible issue for a suspect, Ridgway said the Sheriff's Office holds tens of thousands of evidence pieces for a variety of purposes, and the damage inflicted was likely minor to current cases.
"It's likely there are a very small number of situations where it would conceivably create a problem for us," Ridgway said.
The rat feast was discovered during an annual internal audit of the evidence section that was conducted in mid-February.
Overall, the audit found few problems with the roughly 75,000 pieces of evidence housed in the warehouse, located on the northeast corner of the Sheriff's Office campus near the county jail.
All of the most sensitive items — guns, drugs, money and jewelry — were found intact and accounted for without any discrepancies, according to the audit.
Still, the review found that rats had gotten to pieces connected to eight cases, with three murders and an accidental death among them.
The rodents ate through a bag holding a garden hose related to an unsolved 2004 murder. The hose itself was not damaged.
Slightly damaged were jeans found in a fire pit at a 2009 homicide, for which the defendant has already been convicted, the audit says.
A rodent also chewed through a rice-filled sock, connected to a 2012 slaying, and devoured the rice. That investigation was closed by the death of the suspected killer, the audit notes.
Rats also tore into packages containing items tied to an aggravated battery and a suspicious incident that were closed "by exception," meaning the investigation ended without an arrest or prosecution.
They also damaged items linked to a robbery and a home invasion whose suspects have already been convicted, and a death that was ruled an accident. All of those investigations were from 2012.
"A review of the ... cases revealed that none of these cases are currently being prosecuted," the audit states.
Despite that, officials recognize that the vulnerability of the site is an issue, since the corrugated metal building was not intended to store crime evidence.
County spokeswoman Barbra Hernandez said the 30,000-square-foot building was constructed in 1995. It was originally designed as a maintenance shop for the Facilities Department and to house Sheriff's Office supplies.
About five years ago, facilities managers handed over their space in the shop to the Sheriff's Office and built a new maintenance building, Hernandez said.
As the volume of criminal cases and amount of related evidence grew, then-Sheriff Ed Dean directed in summer 2012 that the property be transferred from the main operations building at the Sheriff's Office complex to the warehouse, Sheriff's Capt. Jimmy Pogue said.
On one hand, budget cuts prevented the agency from expanding the previous evidence-holding site, Pogue said.
On the other, according to Pogue, Dean at one point also wanted a separate accreditation from outside authorities for the evidence section.
Part of that process required that the evidence be moved from the technicians' main work area.
According to the audit, Dean ordered the move over the objections of the former chief of the evidence section, Lt. David Redmond, who recommended the facility not be used because it was ill-suited for that purpose.
Pogue noted that Redmond's superiors also opposed the decision.
Ken Lininger, president of the Property & Evidence Association of Florida, said no state standard exists for storing evidence in any building or warehouse, although some accrediting agencies have their own requirements that must be met in order to gain their approval.
His group, whose members include law enforcement property clerks and crime scene technicians, offers a course on evidence storage that provides recommendations of different types of materials and buildings to be utilized.
"Any building can be utilized to store evidence. It just depends on how it is stored inside that building," he wrote in an email. "Containers, plastic or metal, are one way to help reduce contamination from animals such as rats and mice."
Lawsuits from defendants, overturned convictions, dropped charges and bad press are some of the risks an agency faces for allowing evidence to be corrupted, Lininger added.
Meanwhile, the relocation was done three years after the Sheriff's Office quit hiring pest control crews. Jerry Holland, the agency's administrative services chief, said that service was stopped in 2009 because of budget cuts.
He added that a subsequent attempt was made to spray for pests internally, but that did not include treatment for rodents.
The audit notes that a professional pest control company has now been hired to handle the rodents, county maintenance staff has been asked to upgrade the building, and new protocols will be developed on how to store food evidence outside of a refrigerator.
Hernandez, the county's spokeswoman, said maintenance staffers had recently inspected the warehouse and are working on remedying the problem.
Pogue said the rats entered the building through gaps between the base of the building and the concrete slab on which it rests.
The solution is to erect a concrete barrier along the foot of the facility.
The February incident was the first time rats had gotten into evidence, and they seemed to continue to do so after the original infestation was discovered.
Pogue said that last week marked the first time that the traps set immediately after the audit did not catch any rodents.
Still, the agency is concerned about evidence being kept in the aging structure, Pogue said.
"It was made to hold tools. Hopefully, if we get the sales tax, we can build a building we wouldn't have to worry about," said Pogue, referring to the proposed local sales tax the County Commission is considering to put before the voters later this year.
"Every piece of evidence has a victim attached to it, and if we don't keep it safe, a victim out there doesn't get justice," Pogue said.

Coldplay's Chris sings baby to sleepColdplay frontman Chris Martin has been singing lullabies to send his baby daughter to sleep.
The rocker, who is married to Hollywood actress Gwyneth Paltrow, has been singing to four-month-old daughter Apple to help her as she suffers from teething pains.
Gwyneth revealed: "She has treated us to the whole 4am thing which is a bit tough, but Chris weighs in and sings lullabies and funny joke songs."
The Oscar-winning star says baby Apple became a fan of her dad's vocal talents while she was still in the womb.
She added: "I played his music a lot while she was in my belly and she loves it."
Chris, 27, and Gwyneth, 31, married in a secret ceremony last December and Gwyneth insists she has never been happier.
She revealed: "When you find the right person and you have a baby, life is fantastic."
Gwyneth recently revealed she had to hire a nurse to help her with Apple when she was first born.
The first-time mother admitted she was so worried about doing something wrong, she decided to get expert help.
She said: "I had a nurse when Apple was first born. I was afraid I was going to do something horrible to her by accident, but the nurse showed me how to bathe her and got us on a schedule, and I haven't needed a nanny since."
