Is This Information Right for Me?
This information is for you if:
- You care for a child between the ages of 5 and 18 years. If your child is younger than 5 years, you may still find this information helpful.
- You want to know things that can be done at home, in school, and in the community to help children maintain a healthy weight and keep them from becoming overweight or obese. If a child is already overweight or obese, steps can still be taken to keep the child from gaining any more weight.
What will this summary cover?
This summary will cover:
- How to know if your child is at a healthy weight
- What body mass index (BMI) is and what BMI percentiles are
- What health problems being overweight or obese could cause in a child
- What might lead to a child becoming overweight or obese
- What can be done at home, in school, and in the community to help keep children from becoming overweight or obese
- What researchers have found about things that can be done at home, at school, and in the community
This summary can help you talk with your child's doctor*, school, and community leaders about keeping your child at a healthy weight.
* In this summary, the term "doctor" refers to your child's health care professional, including your child's pediatrician, family medicine physician, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant.
Where does the information come from?
Researchers reviewed 124 studies on ways to prevent children and adolescents from becoming obese. These studies were published between November 1985 and August 2012. The researchers were funded by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), a Federal Government research agency.
The researchers wrote a report on what they found, and this summary is based on that report. The report was reviewed by doctors, researchers, other experts, and the public. You can read the report at www.effectivehealthcare.ahrq.gov/child-obesity-prevention.cfm.
Understanding Obesity in Children
How do I know if my child is at a healthy weight?
Your child's doctor will track your child's height and weight over time and can tell you if your child is at a healthy weight. During wellness checkups, be sure to talk with your child's doctor about your child's weight.
Your child's doctor may ask you about:
- Your child's eating habits
- Whether you have places to get healthy food for your child
- How much physical activity your child gets
- Whether there are safe places for your child to run around and play
- How much screen time your child has each day (time spent watching television, playing video games, or sitting in front of a computer, cell phone, or tablet such as an iPad)
- Any health problems your child has
- Your family's medical history
What is BMI and what are BMI percentiles?
To find out if your child is in a healthy weight range, your child's doctor may use something called BMI, or "body mass index." BMI is a measurement based on your child's height and weight. BMI helps the doctor estimate how much body fat your child has. The doctor can use BMI to see if your child is at a healthy weight for his or her height. A healthy BMI is different for girls and boys and changes by age.
Your doctor may compare your child's BMI to the typical BMI range for children of the same sex and age. To do so, doctors may use what is called a "BMI percentile." This can help the doctor figure out if a child is underweight, at a healthy weight, overweight, or obese.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), children are considered:
- At a healthy weight if their BMI is between the 5th and 85th percentile
- Overweight if their BMI is between the 85th and 95th percentile
- Obese if their BMI is in the 95th percentile or above
To calculate your child's BMI and BMI percentile, go to http://apps.nccd.cdc.gov/dnpabmi/.
What health problems can being overweight or obese cause for a child?
Children who are overweight or obese are more likely to be overweight or obese as adults. They are also more likely to develop serious health problems such as:
- High blood sugar or diabetes
- High blood pressure
- High cholesterol (a type of fat in the blood)
- Sleep apnea (a condition in which you stop breathing for brief periods of time while you sleep)
- Heart problems (such as heart attack or heart failure) or a stroke as an adult
- Extra pressure on bones and joints, which could lead to bone and joint problems both as a child and as an adult
- Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (a disease caused by too much fat in the liver)
- Low self-esteem or depression
- Eating disorders such as binge eating and purging
What might lead to a child becoming overweight or obese?
Many things can lead to a child becoming overweight or obese, including:
- Unhealthy eating habits. Children may eat too much, eat too many unhealthy foods, or drink too many sugary drinks.
- Not getting enough sleep. Children who do not get enough sleep each night are more likely to become overweight.
- Family history. Children from overweight families may be more likely to become overweight. This could be due to a child's genes or learned family eating habits.
- Not enough physical activity. Children may not get enough physical activity. Children should be active for at least 1 hour each day.
- Too much screen time. Children may have too much screen time during the day. Some children may eat while watching television or playing on the computer.
- Environment. Children may spend time in an environment (such as with relatives, with friends, in childcare, or at school) where healthy eating choices or opportunities for physical activity are not available.
Keeping Your Child From Becoming Overweight or Obese
How can I keep my child from becoming overweight or obese?
To help keep your child from becoming overweight or obese, make sure your child eats healthy and is physically active. There are many things that can be done at home, in school, and in the community to help keep children at a healthy weight. Some examples of each are listed below.
At Home
There are many things you can do at home as a family. Some examples include:
Eat healthy
- Cook healthy meals at home with foods from each food group.
- The food groups include fruits, vegetables, grains, protein foods (such as meats, eggs, fish, tofu, and beans), and low-fat or nonfat dairy.
- Be sure to eat a healthy breakfast every day.
- Eat at the table as a family instead of in front of a screen (television, computer, cell phone, or tablet).
- Limit or do not keep unhealthy foods and drinks at home.
- Replace unhealthy snacks such as cookies, candy, or chips with healthy snacks such as fruits and vegetables.
- Replace unhealthy sugary drinks such as sodas, sports drinks, or juices with healthy drinks such as water and low-fat or nonfat milk.
- Eat most meals at home instead of at restaurants. At home, you are better able to limit the amount of fat, sugar, and salt in your meals.
- Be sure to eat the right amount of food.
Be physically active
- Give your child a chance to run around and play – at least 1 hour a day.
- Plan fun activities like bicycling, walking to the park, playing ball, or swimming.
- Encourage everyone in the family to be active during the day.
- For example, take the stairs instead of the elevator and walk or bike places instead of driving or taking the bus.
- Limit the amount of screen time each day.
- In addition to being physically active, make sure your child gets enough sleep each night.
Let's Go! is a program to keep children from becoming obese. The program focuses on healthy eating and physical activity.
Let's Go! recommends the "5-2-1-0" healthy habits for each day:
- 5 fruits and vegetables
- 2 hours or less of screen time for recreation
- 1 hour or more of physical activity
- 0 sugary drinks
Let's Go! also recommends keeping television and computers out of your child's bedroom and not allowing screen time for children younger than 2 years.
In School
In addition to eating healthy and being physically active at home, school programs can help keep children at a healthy weight. School programs could include things such as:
- Lessons about the importance of healthy eating and physical activity
- Information sessions for parents to learn ways to help keep their child at a healthy weight
- Healthy breakfast and lunch options in the cafeteria with the right portion sizes
- Healthy snacks and drinks in vending machines and at parties and events
- Filtered water coolers to encourage drinking water instead of soft drinks or sports drinks
- Adult-led walk-to-school or bike-to-school groups
- A longer physical education (PE) period in which children are physically active
- Gym equipment such as balls and jump ropes for use during recess
Let's Go! also has resources for schools to help children eat healthy and be physically active. For more information and toolkits for your child's school, go to www.letsgo.org/toolkits/.
In the Community
In addition to home and school, things can also be done in the community to help keep children at a healthy weight. Communities and community centers can:
- Improve community parks, sidewalks, and biking paths.
- Take steps to make parks, sidewalks, and biking paths safe.
- Advertise community events such as health fairs, 5K walks, sports events at local parks, community garden programs, and local farmers markets. This can be done on posters, in local newspapers, and on local television and radio stations.
- Offer programs in which families can get advice on healthy eating and being physically active.
For other resources to help keep your child at a healthy weight, go to:
- First Lady Michelle Obama's Let's Move!: www.letsmove.gov
- The National Institutes of Health We Can!: www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/public/heart/obesity/wecan
- The American Academy of Pediatrics Healthy Children: www.healthychildren.org
For more information about improving parks, sidewalks, and biking paths in your area, contact your local parks and recreation department.
For more information about events or programs in your community, contact your local community or recreation centers (such as the YMCA, Boys and Girls Club, or local religious community centers).
What have researchers found about doing things at home, in school, and in the community to help keep children from becoming overweight or obese?
Healthy eating and physical activity are very important in keeping children from becoming overweight or obese.
Researchers found that:
- Programs at schools to help children eat healthy and be physically active can keep children from becoming overweight or obese.
- Along with school programs, additional steps at home and in the community can also help.
- More research is needed to know which particular programs or steps work the best.

Great add-on
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I agree with the other reviewer, works great when you get 4 bikes in that space.
Space and Marriage Saver
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
We have a spare bedroom where we keep our exercise equipment and our bikes. Our bike (ok my bike) collection was growing the room was getting crowded and the wife was unhappy. Picked up this with the main stand and bam, 4 bikes in the place of one. It also gives you a great place to put all of your stickers from all the races you do. My rack has two CX bikes, one 29er and one road bike and it is very sturdy. I am huge so my bikes are all XL's, or 61-63's and I can still fit them all on the rack. For normal sized people you won't have any issues. I highly recommend this rack and I hope I can talk my wife into a few more bikes so I can buy another one.

This is Adelboden, population 3,500, the last remaining GS classic Park City's Ted Ligety had never won. Until Saturday.
Adelboden is the quintessential Swiss mountain village, tucked away in a hidden valley. The first settlements appeared in the 15th century. And it's only been in the last 100 years that the region has been accessible in winter. In 1958, legendary Swiss skier Roger Staub won the first GS. Since then, names like Killy, Stenmark, Thoeni, Schranz, Zurbriggen, and Maier have etched their name into the Place of Fame in the Village Square. But only one American had mastered the Chuenisbärgli GS: Billy Kidd in 1966.
Classics like the Chuenisbärgli, the Gran Risa in Alta Badia and the PokalVitranc down Podkoren in Kransjka Gora they're all just nasty courses, dark and foreboding. Look at past winners and you'll see the crème de la crème of World Cup ski racing winning in the sport's truest discipline. Ted first won in Kranjska in 2008 and Alta Badia in 2010 but had never been able to master Adelboden.
Two years ago he gave up a three-tenths first-run lead to finish 28th as the Chuenisbärgli chewed him up in the second run. A year ago he relaxed and gave up a podium shot to finish fourth. And he was lucky Saturday but luck is a big part of skiing the Chuenisbärgli. You make your opportunities the best you can, then you hope the mountain agreed with you that day.
Ligety was solid in his second run and stood in the finish area with the race lead. One skier to go, but it was the one that mattered Austria's Marcel Hirscher. The overall World Cup leader was perfect expanding his lead until the final face when disaster struck and the mountain handed the win to Ligety.
"Today I was really lucky Marcel Hirscher won this race today," Ligety said later. "But I'll take it as I've given him some of those gifts in the past. The second run was so dark and this hill is so tiring."
Ted Ligety is giant slalom. His Adelboden win gave him 15 GS victories, tying him with the incomparable Alberto Tomba, his childhood hero whose America's Opening wins in Park City motivated a generation of young American ski racers.
Most importantly, it put his name in stone. "It's the only classic GS I haven't won, so it's nice to get it," he said. "It's cool in finally having your name on that list."
"U.S. Ski Team 36" with Ted Ligety
If you missed Sunday's debut of "U.S. Ski Team 36" with Ted Ligety, you can tune in again this Saturday to NBC Sports Network at 11 p.m. for a re-air. The 30-minute NBC feature follows Ted in the 36 hours leading up to the Alta Badia GS last month.
One of the most experienced communications professionals in skiing, Tom Kelly is a veteran of eight Olympics and serves as vice president, Communications, for the Park City-based U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association. A Wisconsin native, he and his wife Carole Duh have lived in Park City since 1988 when he's not traveling the world with the team.

Hello, I'm CodeGeass! The obvious reason I chose that username is because I am obsessed with the anime (of the same name). If you haven't seen it, I suggest you do. It's the greatest anime in the world (even greater than pokemon).
I just found this forum since I saw that article on the new ds, and I clicked it. So then I found the forum and I remembered about a fan fic I wrote not too long ago. So I'm going to post it.
Anyway, does anyone here like Code Geass? I'm going to make a whole thread for it if there's a section for stuff like that.

Bryan Bass
May 19, 2012
RICHMOND, Va. - VCU scored six runs in the first inning and cruised to a 11-2 win over East Carolina during the final game of the 2012 regular season at The Diamond on day two of the Terry Sisisky Classic. With the win the Rams claim the home-and-home series and improve to 32-23, while the Pirates fall to 34-20-1.
VCU jumped out early on the Pirates scoring six runs on two hits in the bottom of the first to take a 6-0 lead. With the bases loaded and one out, Taylor Perkins reached on a throwing error scoring Bill Cullen for the games first run. Vimael Machin followed with a sac fly to right field scoring Jordan Weymouth. Brent Mikinois was hit to load the bases and then consecutive walks by Kyle Sutherland and Paul Nice pushed the lead to 4-0. Cullen capped the scoring with a two-run double back up the middle.
Matt Lees improved to 4-2 on the season allowing one run (earned) on four hits before passing the ball to Brennan Huelse to start the seventh where he gave up one run on two hits. Starter Heath Dwyer tossed four scoreless frames with a pair of punch outs. Chris Shaklee and Michael Graham each added scoreless frames for the Rams.
Jharel Cotton (8-1) suffered his first loss of the season working just two-thirds of an inning where he allowed six runs (one earned) on one hit with three walks and two hit batters. Tyler Joyner was solid in his 4 1/3 frames allowing a pair of runs (one earned) on two hits with five strikeouts. Sophomore Drew Reynolds worked two innings allowing three runs (two earned) on three hits with four walks. Dario Santangelo, DeShorn Lake and Austin Chrismon
Tyler Buran staked the Rams to an 8-0 lead when he drilled his fourth home run of the season, a two-run shot that scored Joey Cujas ahead of him. Cujas reached on a fielding error at third base by Thompson.
The Pirates finally scratched across a run in the sixth on Chase McDonald's RBI single to left field. John Wooten doubled off the wall in right center with one out and Zach Wright followed with a single to right putting runners on the corners for the McDonald.
VCU added a run in the sixth and a pair in the seventh to take an 11-2 lead.
Wooten's sac fly to right field scored Bryan Bass to make the score 9-2 in the seventh. Bass singled up the middle, took second on Mike Ussery's single and moved to third on a double steal before trotting home on Wooten's 35th RBI of the season.
The Pirates will head off to Pearl, Miss. Monday morning for the 2012 Conference USA Championships and will learn later this evening what seed, opponent and dates of competition once all the games have concluded.

Post subject: Help me find some good anthologies.
I went into a used booked store and found this absolutey great book called Moonlight, Madness & Magic. I think i read it before but who cares i was good.
This book would have had to be written even before the was a craving for the supernatural in the romance world.
It not only had the supernatural element (which i'm not a big fan of) but it had a good story with good sex (nothing raunchy) but good nevertheless.
Im looking for an anthology with a good story and good sex. Not like most anthologies im seeing nowadays where its like 20 pages long with sex making up 15 of the pages.
Thank you in advance for any good recommendations that you may have.

If you like them historical, hot and spicy, you could try a three story anthology by Sylvia Day with the rather unfortunate title
Bad Boys Ahoy!
The three stories are vaguely connected and each is about 100 pages long. They are set in the Regency IIRC and one has a pirate hero, one a gaming club owner and one a gentleman with an irresisponsible past. Her heroines are not always virgins, but even the virgins are not shrinking violets when it comes to sex. I had fun reading it.

A few I've really liked and kept after weeding out half of my books. Scandolous Brides..Christina Dodd, Leslie La Foy and Celeste Bradley (one more...maybe Kleypas...can't remember) Historical..all the stories are good. more...Jingle Bell Rock...Susan Donovan, Lori Foster and one more author. I know...it's a Christmas anthology, but it's HOT, HOT. Also, Hot and Bothered..Lori Foster again. The story Luring Lucy is the best she's ever written IMO.

I read these some time ago and can't really remember what each story was about, but remember that I enjoyed them and was not disappointed as I usually am with anthologies...but of course some great authors.

There's one called 'Tapestry" with Karen Moning, Sherilyn Kenyon, Madeline Hunter, and another one (don't remember the name). Both Karen Moning and Sherilyn Kenyon's stories were paranormal with sexy scenes. Madeline Hunter's was straight historical but also sexy scenes. It was one of the best anthologies I've encountered so far.

I have read very few anthologies as they just don't appear on my radar. However, I can recommend one that is excellent. Its title is something like
A Bouquet of Babies
with stories by Linda Howard, Paula Detmar Riggs and one other author(blanking on name). Don't have the anthology handy as I loaned it to a friend who I thought would enjoy Riggs's story.
The theme is babies, of course! Howard's is a great Mother's Day story and Riggs's story focuses on physical disabilities.

One of the best recent anthologies is
Irresistible Forces
with stories by Jo Beverley, Lois McMaster Bujold, Mary Jo Putney, Catherine Asaro, Jennifer Roberson, and Deb Stover. Catherine Asaro edited the collection.
The Bujold story, Winterfair Gifts, is the story of Miles Vorkosigan's wedding to Ekaterin. The Roberson story unites Robin and Marian with the King Arthur legend.

Are you interested in contemporaries of historical anthologies? AAR did a top 10 list for anthologies last year. Here is the link:
Meltdown by Shannon McKenna from Bad Boys Next Exit (and one of her best IMO)
If you like Lisa Marie Rice, her story Secluded is in Secrets vol 9
Ann Stuart's Catspaw I and II
The Love Match by Rosanne Becnal from Scandalous Weddings
The Blackmoor Devil by Patricia Coughlin from When You Wish
A House East of Regent Street by Pam Rosenthal in Strangers in the Night.
Fascinated is very steamy with stories from Robin Schone, Bertrice Small, Susan Johnson, and Thea Devine. I especially liked Schone's story.
The Third Suitor by Christina Dodd in Hero Come Back
and Wish List with stories from Lisa Kleypas, Lisa Cach, Claudia Dain, and Lynsay Sands (All stories are good).
Once Upon a Pillow with stories by Dodd and Brockway
I would like to second Trish's rec for Bad Boys Ahoy by Sylvia Day. All three stories are a treat and second Blossom's rec for Three Weddings and a Kiss with stories by Kathleen E. Woodiwiss, Lisa Kleypas, Loretta Chase, and Catherine Anderson (all stories are good).
Edith Layton and Mary Balogh have some great regency anthologies, especially Christmas ones. If you can't tell, I love Anthologies. I get interrupted a lot when I try to read and they give me a chance to finish stories in one sitting. Sometimes I think I lose the flow and impact of a longer story when I have to keep setting a book down.

These would include such things as losing weight, exercising more and smoking less. Another study found 88 percent of all resolutions end in failure. Why? One fitness expert pointed out that there are no quick fixes. "It took time to get where you are now and it will take time to get where you want to be. People go into resolutions expecting overnight miracles," he said.
Free weight training needs to be done correctly to gain benefits.Another study suggested that the brain is wired for certain behaviors and trying to change those behaviors is very difficult. In many cases it's not that an individual doesn't want to succeed, it's often a case where the individual makes resolutions without a plan. Fitness and weight loss, for example, go hand-in-hand like salt and pepper. Weight loss is based on exercise and diet; fitness is best attained when you do the right exercises and watch the diet.
There are things an individual can do that can help in extending the life of a health resolution, said Brent Cook, owner of the Sports Mall and the fitness center within the new City Center. He suggested that one of the most important requirements is to involve other people. It could be a friend or a relative or a personal trainer. "Friends and relatives offer support. Having a friend along when you exercise or plan a menu helps. Create a social environment.
"Of course, working with a personal trainer is best. Making a financial commitment on health issues creates the better likelihood of individuals following through. Also, there's a commitment to the trainer. That is, being at a certain place at a certain time. Also, the right trainer gives an individual motivation and an environment to accomplish goals."
Sports Mall owner Brent Cook suggests involving friends and family to help meet health resolutions.Probably one of the main reasons to meet with a trainer, short term or long term, is the right trainer can schedule the right exercises to accomplish goals, whether they be losing weight or shaping up the body. The wrong exercises or exercises done incorrectly can be of little benefit and can actually harm an individual.
"Many people do the wrong exercises and also don't realize they need to reach their target heart rate when exercising to get the maximum benefit,'' Cook noted. There are methods whereby a trainer can be certified in fitness, weight loss, stretching, conditioning and nutrition. In selecting a trainer, one of the first questions should be about certification.
There are, of course, several options open to attain health and fitness goals, including joining a health club, a fitness center -- there are a number of county-run centers -- and enrolling in a variety of classes such as yoga, dance, pilate, martial arts, boot camps or water exercises. The thing to remember is there are no quick fixes. An individual should set reasonable goals and be patient. "Don't be hard on yourself. Be patient. Over the long haul, to accomplish your goals, it's almost better to go slowly. It takes time to change habits,'' said Cook.
A whole-body vibrating machine improves circulation and improves range of motion.People make resolutions for a number of reasons, including the chance to evaluate results, be they small or large, and they stimulate action, hopefully over the long haul. To meet fitness goals individuals should figure out what their objectives are and why they set the resolution; involve others in their plans; and select a program designed to meet those objectives. In the end, New Year's resolutions will be a challenge. Getting involved with friends, family or a personal trainer will make an individual better equipped to meet the challenges.
Available Fitness Programs Pilates and Yoga Classes -- Develop higher levels of strength, flexibility, balance and tranquility. Water Exercise Training -- Low intensity workouts in deep and shallow water for cardiovascular and strength training. Spin Classes -- Group non-impact sessions for a cardiovascular workout. Boot Camps -- Intense physical training meant to shape up quickly. Senior Programs -- Classes designed for individuals 60 and older. Personal Training -- Fitness experts that can help design and assist in exercise programs and nutritional diets. Aerobics -- Exercises that help with cardio and pulmonary systems. Zumba -- Latin music combined with dance moves create enjoyable workout.
Most Common Resolutions - Lose weight - Get fit - Spend more time with family/friends - Drink less - Quit smoking - Save money - Eat better foods - Volunteer - Get out of debt - Find love - Get organized - Reduce stress

Editor, GoDucks.com
For all the rivalry games, bowls and championships won by former UO football coach Mike Bellotti, the most important game of his career might have come in the midst of a 6-5 season that included a five-game losing streak.
Oregon had won three straight to open the 1996 season, Bellotti's second after being promoted from offensive coordinator. Once Pac-10 play began, however, the Ducks couldn't find their footing, and dropped five straight.
On Nov. 9, 1996, Arizona was visiting Autzen Stadium. Bellotti spoke confidently that week about the Ducks' chances of finishing with a winning record. That would require a win over Arizona and two more, which looked unlikely when the Wildcats took an early 14-0 lead. But Oregon rallied to win 49-31, kicking off a three-game win streak to close the year.
Riding that surge of momentum, Oregon went back to a bowl game in 1997. The Ducks would do so in all but one of Bellotti's remaining 12 years as head coach, just one example of why at tonight's National Football Foundation gala in New York, Bellotti will be inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame.
"I still tell people that game may be the most important game in my coaching career," Bellotti said. "It took us from a losing streak to a winning streak, into a confidence that, if I put myself out there, my players and coaches would back me up."
Bellotti's selection into the Hall of Fame was announced in May by the National Football Foundation. He's one of 16 members of the 2014 class, and the eighth former UO player or coach inducted, following fellow head coaches Hugo Bezdek and Len Casanova.
"Congratulations to Coach Bellotti on being recognized with the most prestigious honor in college football," UO director of athletics Rob Mullens said. "Mike played an important role in Oregon football history and we are extremely pleased he is being acknowledged for his accomplishments."
Bellotti went 116-55 in his 14 years as head coach; including his time as offensive coordinator, he was part of more than 25 percent of Oregon's 613 all-time victories entering 2014. He led the Ducks to Pac-10 titles in 2000 and 2001, and a Fiesta Bowl victory to cap the 2001 season, though it's less-heralded triumphs such as the 1996 win over Arizona that still resonate just as strong with Bellotti.
"There are certain plays I can still remember to this day, or players who made a play -- an amazing emotional swing or momentum swing in a game where you said, 'That's when I knew we had a chance to be a good team or program,'" Bellotti said.
"It's a very humbling experience, because you recognize all the players and all the coaches and all the administrators and all the boosters, at every college I worked at. It's truly an honor, and there's a lot of people I need to think and will thank eventually, either in person or with a little note, something like that."
Bellotti said he felt his strengths included "evaluating people, communicating with people," calling those traits "probably what's at the cornerstone of any of my success."
A graduate of Ygnacio Valley High in Concord, Calif., Bellotti learned the game of football there from Dick Ryan, and also admired his baseball coach, Kent Robie, who became a lifelong friend.
Bellotti played for and then began his coaching career under Jim Sochor at UC Davis. In 1977, Bellotti went to work at Cal State Hayward for Tim Tierney, who instilled in Bellotti an appreciation for recruiting. Bellotti spent six of the next seven years in Hayward, with a one-year interlude in 1979 working at Weber State under Pete Riehlman, from whom Bellotti learned the administrative demands placed on a head coach, and the organizational skills they require.
In 1984, Bellotti took his first head coaching job, at Chico State. He moved to Oregon as offensive coordinator in 1989, under Rich Brooks.
"I enjoyed that, I enjoyed being an offensive coordinator," said Bellotti, whose offense led the Pac-10 in scoring and passing in 1989, and who helped develop quarterback Danny O'Neil, who took the Ducks to the 1995 Rose Bowl. "That was maybe the most enjoyable part ever of coaching. But you realize that an assistant coach makes a lot of suggestions; a head coach makes decisions. Rich Brooks taught me that."
With Bellotti making the decisions following Brooks' departure in 1995, the Ducks went on to their first 10-win season ever in 2000, then won 11 games in 2001. Along the way Bellotti helped groom several assistants who went on to become head coaches, including Chris Petersen, Chip Kelly, Jeff Tedford and Mark Helfrich.
"I learned from every single player and coach I ever worked with," Bellotti said. "It wasn't a one-way street of me disseminating information. It was me gathering information from people around me, and hopefully arriving at a path everybody believed they had input into. That made it easier for everyone to follow a plan."
That philosophy helped foster Oregon's trademark coaching continuity, with several of Bellotti assistants still working now under Helfrich, including Gary Campbell, Tom Osborne, Steve Greatwood, Don Pellum and John Neal. Not to be overlooked, too, Bellotti said, were all the secretaries and equipment managers and other staff members who helped make his programs run.
All had a hand in Bellotti's coaching success, and will help him celebrate his Hall of Fame induction.
"It's truly an honor," Bellotti said. "To every single person involved with the program you want to say, 'Thanks. I'm representing all of you.'"

Just in time for Discovery Channel's Shark Week, The Living Planet Aquarium has announced the arrival of five shark pups.
Now, the three young Gray Reef Sharks (like the one pictured) and two Blacktip Reef Sharks are on display in the aquarium's Ocean Explorer gallery. And even though they're very young, they measure three feet and could potentially reach eight.
Take the kids to the aquarium to check out the smaller sharks this weekend.
Originally from Australia, the pups were flown to Los Angeles in self-contained, water-tight tanks with battery-powered aerators, and then drove over night to the aquarium. They'll make one more trip, this time to Draper, when the Living Planet moves into their new location in late 2013.

As a Colorado native I have learned to basically have no regards for cyclists. If you wish to ride your bike down the road with no regard for STOP signs, yielding, or riding in the middle of the road; you will get it from me too. Call the cops, take your pictures, throw your rocks... I'll still get out of my car and pop ya. I'd gladly bet any of you a buck that 30 seconds prior to this video these two lance wannabes blew through a stop sign and nearly put the explorer in the ditch! Keep it up you guys, I dare ya!

The rating is Class 4, but it looked more like low 5th class. With 1000ft of exposure, it just wasn't worth the risk to me. I hope to return with a rope and partner next time.

It's hard to imagine now, but when The Mary Tyler Moore Show debuted in 1970 the notion of a TV show built around a successful, fulfilled single woman was about as alien as a bagel from Mars. In this excerpt from the new book We Killed: The Rise of Women in American Comedy, several of the show's principals tell Yael Kohen what made the iconic sitcom so special—and especially funny.
MARY TYLER MOORE, actress Some of the shows that have been very successful have come from no truth whatsoever—as in Three's Company—but they are all larger-than-life and almost comedic versions of soap operas and some of the nighttime series. I did not want to be that. I wanted to take my chances with the real version of comedy, the eloquent approach to the funny aspects of what a person is in real life.
ALLAN BURNS, co-creator I remember having a meeting with the vice president of CBS in Hollywood, and when he read our first script, he called us up and said, "Guys, does she have to be 30? Do we have to say she's 30?" We said, "Yeah. Yeah, she clearly is . . . we've got to come to this with some degree of reality here and we think it's interesting."
MARILYN SUZANNE MILLER, writer They looked at every kind of woman on that show. Every kind of woman except a happily married woman, which was great. That was the first time that ever happened.
VALERIE HARPER, actress Even just the Jewishness of Rhoda was a step forward. Other than the Goldbergs, which was way back in the fifties, was there any other leading Jewish character? Rhoda was more New Yorker than Jewish, but Morgenstern, there's no question about it. It's funny, I knew a lot of Yiddish and they didn't want to use it at all. They said, "Absolutely not." They said, "We don't wanna get into some ghettoized cartoon."
ALLAN BURNS I remember going down to see the first run-through [of Betty White's debut "Happy Homemaker" episode]. We get to the soundstage and Mary meets us at the door and she says, "Guys, you don't realize just how funny this woman is," and, "We've got to figure out a way to get her on the show every week." We saw this run-through and we were on the floor laughing. It was just wonderful. She brought so much stuff to it. Physical business. There was a scene where she was trying to get a soufflé or something out of the oven, and both hands were busy, so she just took her knee and whacked the oven shut. Betty just did that on her own, and it's one of the bigger laughs in the show. Just the way she did it—it was so unladylike for this prissy woman who was "the Happy Homemaker." It was the perfect way to tell you who Sue Ann Nivens really was, that she wasn't going to let the fact that her two hands were busy stop her from closing that damn oven. And we realized Mary was right.

Actually I'm able to compile and link samples java programs, but I can't upload to nxt using usb or bluetooth. On brick I previously uploaded firmware from windows.
On some posts I read that it is not required to build libnxt because it is old and is replaced by default fantom driver. I'm a little bit confusing.
With linux bluetooth tools I'm able to find nxt, but I can't connect to it.
What mean "Bluetooth Pair from PC to NXT" ?
What I'm missing? What I should do to upload and communicate with brick over bluetooth ?

Tigers Face Huge Road Weekend, Will Tangle With Top Teams In Ivy Standings
If the Princeton women's volleyball team was looking for an opportunity to make a major statement in the Ivy League, it will have that opportunity this weekend. The Tigers share second place in the league with a 2-1 mark, and they will hit the road to play one team that shares second (Brown), and the only unbeaten in league play (Yale).

Princeton enters the weekend in a three-way tie for second place with a 2-1 league mark. One of the teams with the same record is Brown, and those two teams will meet at the Pizzitola Center Friday night at 7 pm.
Princeton has controlled this series of late, winning each of the last 13 matches, but this may be the best Brown squad that the Tigers have seen during that era. Brown showed plenty of resolve last weekend with 3-2 victories against both Harvard and Dartmouth, and the Bears rank among the top of the league standings in both service aces and hitting percentage. Junior Maddie Lord leads the team with more than three kills per set, while junior Kathryn Conner has 3.58 digs per set.
While Brown is highly improved, Yale remains the league favorite after a perfect 14-0 league run last year. The Bulldogs leads the league in kills, assists and aces, and it has both the reigning Ivy League Player of the Year (senior Kendall Polan) and the Ivy League Rookie of the Year (sophomore Kelly Johnson. The Bulldogs have yet to lose a set in Ivy League play, and the opposing team has reached 20 points in only two of nine sets.
Princeton will head into the weekend off the momentum of both a 3-1 victory Saturday evening at Columbia, as well as the continued impressive play of a mostly young roster. Princeton has earned the Ivy League Rookie of the Week honor in back-to-back weeks with different players (Lauren Miller and, most recently, Cara Mattaliano), and sophomore starter Kendall Peterkin was named Ivy League Player of the Week after a 3-2 win over Penn. Peterkin leads the Ivy League in both kills (3.7 per set) and points (4.3).
While several underclassmen have played big roles already in Ivy play, the junior middle duo of Tiana Woolridge and Nicole Kincade have also stood tall (figuratively and literally). Woolridge leads the Ivy League in hitting percentage (.404), while Kincade's 1.54 blocks per set in Ivy matches is also a league best.

Search For a Company Not a Job!
by John E. Long - Apr, 2010
How do most people approach a job search? Well is often goes like this... As human beings we are subject to emotional reactions and our career can often trigger these reactions. At any given time, we may become frustrated, angry, disillusioned, bored, burned out, etc. with either our employer, our role in the organization, or both. In the "heat" of the moment, we jump on the Internet and resolve to find a new job! We dust o...
by John E. Long - Jan, 2010
Remember that old definition of insanity: "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results". Well it's 2010, and there is no time like the present to push the boundaries of your comfort zone by infusing some creative energy into your daily routine. No need to make lofty New Year's resolutions just because it seems like the thing to do in January. I'm suggesting that you reflect back upon 20...

School is always an option; it is never too late to pursue more education. But don't return to school because it seems like a good idea – have a solid plan and goal in mind before you start.

Negotiating Salary with the Job Offer
by John E. Long - Aug, 2009
In the current economy, you might be questioning if there is any "wiggle room" to negotiate the salary level with a new job offer? There is no doubt that the present job market is extremely competitive. Many companies are taking their time and being very cautious when selecting candidates to fill key roles. The experts can continue to debate whether we are or are not in a recession. But job seekers are well aware that the c...
Refresh a Resume by Abandoning Outdated Rules
by John E. Long - Aug, 2009
Everyone thinks they have a great resume. In reality most resumes could stand to be refreshed or even overhauled if they've been on the shelf for a while. You've become so accustomed to looking at your resume that you've likely convinced yourself of its brilliance. So set your ego aside for a bit and allow some objectivity to flow. And accept the fact that a true refresh of the resume will take time and effort. Make the update...
Adaptability: How to Survive in Today's Business Climate
by John E. Long - Jan, 2009
There's no getting around the news—foreclosures, bailouts and breathtaking stock market swings. It's real. It's upon us. It can be scary. Though we can't control the economy, we can control our perception (and reaction) to it. Every crisis creates a positive by-product—opportunity. It's more important than ever to think creatively and adapt "onthefly" to seize those opportunities. Companies that do so will thrive, even dur...
Top 10 Ways to Cope with Job Transition
by John E. Long - Jan, 2009
Job transitions can be stressful — whether they're due to layoff, a new job or working extra hours because other workers were laid off. If you're facing one, consider the following: 1. Take an honest look at yourself. What are your strengths, weaknesses, skills? How did those influence—positively or negatively—your transition? 2. Step up your self-care. Major changes are physically and emotionally taxing. You need self-c...
Put Some FEVER In Your Cover Letters
by John E. Long - Sep, 2008
Forget the drab; one size fits all cover letters that you may have used in the past. And please ignore the letter samples in publications and on Web sites that go on and on with paragraph after paragraph, essentially providing a condensed version of your resume. These types of cover letters are not effective because the people you want to read them (internal and external recruiters and hiring managers) DO NOT WANT TO READ THEM...

Bee Naturals Ultimate Eye Serum contains Haloxyl and soy-rice peptides, both clinically proven to reduce dark circle, puffiness and inflammation. This powerful serum gently hydrates, moisturizes and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles with powerful antioxidants rooibos and hyaluronic acid.
Suggested Use
Apply a very small amount to area under eyes and morning and evening after cleansing gently pat into skin. You may experience a brief sensation of warmth as the active ingredients begin to work.
For external use only. Avoid getting into eyes and discontinue use if sensitivity or irritation occurs.
Purified water, soy-rice peptides, hyaluronic acid, Haloxyl rooibos tea extract, vegetable glycerin, sunflower oil emulsifier, macadamia oil, rosehip oil, vitamin E, vitamin A, phenoxyethanol (paraben-free preservative) and fragrance.
This serum smells good and hydrates correctly. The texture is very thin (maybe too thin) and penetrates quickly. But it doesn't reduce the appearance of fine lines and dark circles as it's indicated on the packaging. Presence of phenoxyethanol in the list of ingredients. The spray is not usefull to dispend this liquid serum. Ce sérum a une texture fine, voire liquide, qui pénètre rapidement. Il sent bon et hydrate correctement (sauf si vous avez le contour des yeux sec, il sera insuffisant). Cependant, aucune action notable sur la réduction des ridules de déshydration et sur l'apparence des cernes. A noter : phenoxyethanol dans la composition. De plus, sa présentation en spray est peu pratique car le sérum se disperse partout.
It is not bad really and it works. Dark circles under eyes really disappear and you look fresh, not like a panda bear. Still, it is VERY strong and the components are very active. I wouldn't recommend using it every day as you may have a burning sensation under eyes. Your skin may itch and burn. People who have allergies should pay special attention to the components and think twice before buying it. I use it once or twice a week, mostly before going to bed and it is OK. In the morning I look fresh and nice. Another drawback is that you can't control the pump and you get too much serum every time.

text: The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum would like to congratulate 2000 inductee Bonnie Raitt on her induction into the Blues Hall of Fame. Though Bonnie may be best-known for her more mainstream, commercially successful albums like Nick of Time and Luck of the Draw, her music has always been rooted in the blues, and she has been a fervent supporter of the blues. When she began her career in Boston in the late Sixties, she appeared with Howlin' Wolf, Sippie Wallace and Mississippi Fred McDowell, among others. In the years since, she has played guitar alongside such blues greats as B.B. King, Taj Mahal, Buddy Guy and John Lee Hooker. In 1990, Bonnie and John Lee Hooker shared the Grammy for Best Traditional Blues Recording for their work on the song "In the Mood" from Hooker's album The Healer. And in 2000, she took part in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum's American Music Masters tribute to Muddy Waters. Bonnie also co-founded the Rhythm & Blues Foundation, and she has gone out of her way to help struggling blues artists with financial assistance and other forms of support. The Blues Hall of Fame said that it was recognizing Bonnie for devotion to the genre and its musicians. The induction ceremony was held on Wednesday night in Memphis. Congratulations!

Price: $58.00
Buffalo nickels, designed to be a truly American piece of coinage, were in circulation from 1913 to only 1938. Today, finding a buffalo-head nickel is a little like finding a four-leaf cloverrare enough to be considered a good-luck charm. Our pebbled leather, magnetized money clip features an inlaid buffalo nickel. Two card slots on back.
Please note: Because buffalo nickels are 25% nickel and 75% copper, they are susceptible to tarnishing. A quick wipe with a clean cloth or tissue should bring back the shine.
Certificate of authenticity included. 3"W x 3 3/4"L x 3/8"D.

Comments about Buffalo Nickel Money Clip:
Smart and attractive wallet - perfect for travel - there is a protective metal shield against demagnetizing credit cards. Very useful. Just wish it had a small change holder - loose change has no where to go.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Money Clip is as advertised
By Wyle Coyote
from Denver, CO
For security reasons, I like to carry my cash and credit cards in my front pocket. Looked far and wide for a money clip that was not too bulky for front pocket AND one that allowed me to carry multiple cards. This money clip is perfect. Not too bulky, carrys cash securely, and has plenty of room for credit/ID cards. I personally carry four credit cards/ID and 5-6 business cards.

Three factors essential for keeping your bones healthy throughout your life are:
Men and women between the ages of 18 and 50 need 1,000 milligrams of calcium a day. This daily amount increases to 1,200 milligrams when women turn 50 and men turn 70. Good sources of calcium include:
If you find it difficult to get enough calcium from your diet, consider taking calcium supplements. However, too much calcium has been linked to heart problems and kidney stones. The Institute of Medicine recommends that total calcium intake, from supplements and diet combined, should be no more than 2,000 milligrams daily for people older than 50.
Vitamin D improves your body's ability to absorb calcium. Many people get adequate amounts of vitamin D from sunlight, but this may not be a good source if you live in high latitudes, if you're housebound, or if you regularly use sunscreen or avoid the sun entirely because of the risk of skin cancer.
Scientists don't yet know the optimal daily dose of vitamin D. A good starting point for adults is 600 to 800 international units (IU) a day, through food or supplements. If your blood levels of vitamin D are low, your doctor may suggest higher doses. Teens and adults can safely take up to 4,000 international units (IU) a day.
Exercise can help you build strong bones and slow bone loss. Exercise will benefit your bones no matter when you start, but you'll gain the most benefits if you start exercising regularly when you're young and continue to exercise throughout your life.
Combine strength training exercises with weight-bearing exercises. Strength training helps strengthen muscles and bones in your arms and upper spine, and weight-bearing exercises — such as walking, jogging, running, stair climbing, skipping rope, skiing and impact-producing sports — affect mainly the bones in your legs, hips and lower spine.
Swimming, cycling and exercising on machines such as elliptical trainers can provide a good cardiovascular workout, but because such exercises are low impact, they're not as helpful for improving bone health as weight-bearing exercises are. There is evidence that competitive cyclists have reduced bone mineral density. They should combine strength training and weight-bearing exercises and consider a test for osteoporosis.

Upon check in, I was not advised of the breakfast or happy hour times and had to ask about the fitness center. When I worked at an extended stay hotel, we advised every guest of these offerings and other amenities.

Reviews for Sloppy Joe Supper
"I wasn't really sure what to expect out of this recipe but it was actually very tasty. I did about a half tsp of salt instead of one tsp and I did the half tsp of pepper but next time I would definetly do like a quarter tsp but everything else I would keep the same!"
"Loved this. I, too, omitted the egg substitue (a littel pricey to purchase) and used one egg. I have a new slow cooker/crock pot and found this cooked way quicker than the recipe indicates."
"Great that it's so easy to make. 1 egg works fine instead of the fake stuff.~ Theresa"
"Haven't tried this yet, but it sounds like it might be good to omit the potatoes and put it over some short pasta, like penne. Has anyone tried to do that?"

Photojournalists Stripped of Gear at Gunpoint in Oakland
The New York Times reports an alarming trend in Oakland, California: the theft at gunpoint of expensive camera gear from photojournalists as they cover stories.
"In less than a year, every major television news station in the Bay Area has been a victim, some more than once. One experienced newspaper photographer has lost five cameras," the Times story says.
The victims quoted in the story are mostly TV reporters, describing how they have had broadcast video cameras worth up to $50,000 stolen–in some cases while the cameras were rolling.
Still photographers are also victims. Laura Oda, chief photographer for The Oakland Tribune, describes how she was robbed of her cameras and other gear at gunpoint twice: once while photographing people painting a mural, and a second time at a busy intersection.
Oda avoided the streets for a while, then returned with a new rule: never stay in one place for more than five minutes, according to the Times.
The story raises a question: Is the problem isolated to Oakland, or is the brazen theft of camera gear a growing problem in other US cities? If you've experienced the problem, we'd like to hear from you.
