TEMPE, Ariz. - Thanks to a solid start by Kramer Champlin and some clutch hitting by Joey DeMichele, Arizona State beat the Washington State Cougars 8-2 on Saturday night to take game two of the three game weekend series. Champlin (5-1) was magnificent for 6.1 innings, allowing eight hits and two runs, to earn the win and help ASU improve to 24-9 on the year, 7-4 in Pac-10 play.
The Devils would strike early and often against the Cougars. In the bottom of the first inning, Joey DeMichele would drive a single up the middle to allow Zack MacPhee to score from second to give the Devils a 1-0 lead.
The lead would not last long when in the top of the second inning Jason Monda hit a solo home run to right center field to even the game at one.
In the bottom of the third inning the Devils would get the lead back after Joey DeMichele singled up the middle for a second consecutive at bat, driving in MacPhee and Riccio Torrez to give the Devils a 3-1 lead. Three batters later the lead would increase when Xorge Carrillo stepped to the plate and singled to left, driving in DeMichele from second base.
Arizona State would add more to the lead in the bottom of the fourth inning after Johnny Ruettiger hit a single to left that drove in Andrew Aplin. Two batters later with Ruettiger on third, Torrez would hit a sacrifice fly to center field allowing Ruettiger to tag and score on the play. The Devils would add one more run in the inning and another run in the bottom of the eighth to put the game out of reach.
The story of the game for ASU was the pitching, as Champlin struck out five and scattered eight hits before giving way to Alex Blackford. Blackford would pitch 2.2 innings of scoreless baseball, striking out four to secure the victory for the Devils.
Zach Wilson was 3-3 with tow doubles, while Johnny Ruettiger was 2-4 with an RBI. Joey DeMichele was 3-4 with three RBI and a run scored in the win.
The Devils and Cougars will wrap up their three-game weekend series on Sunday, April 17. First pitch is scheduled for 12:30 p.m. from Winkles Field-Packard Stadium at Brock Ballpark.

If you're going to visit your parents during the holiday season, or your kids are coming to see you, we'd like to suggest a topic of conversation to raise after you've updated each other on your lives: Your end-of-life wishes.
Several years ago, Ellen Goodman, a Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist for the Boston Globe, was forced into the position of decision-maker for her mother. As her mom's health declined, Goodman quickly realized that the two of them had never talked about her end-of-life wishes. "After all the years I had written about these issues," she now says, "I was still blindsided by the inevitable."
(MORE: 5 Reasons I Won't Die the Way My Mother Did)
After her mother's death, Goodman began sharing her experience with friends and colleagues and quickly discovered that "everybody had a story," she says. "As a journalist, when you start talking about something and everybody has a story, that's when you know there's something in the air.
"And when we start sharing stories, that's a real impetus to social change. That's the way the women's movement started, with women hearing stories and saying, 'I thought I was the only one.'"
In 2010, Goodman launched the Conversation Project, in conjunction with experts from the fields of medicine, the media, and long-term care. Their goal: encourage people across the country to talk about their wishes for end-of-life care and provide them with tools to make the conversation easier. "The country is at a tipping point," when it comes to addressing issues we once scrupulously avoided discussing, Goodman says. "We're helping that happen."

The Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, where generations of newcomers first set foot on American soil, peaked through a clouded background as the "Nuns on the Bus" kicked off its national tour for immigration reform at Liberty State Park in Jersey City, N.J. on May 29.
This marked the first stop of what is slated to be a 6,500-mile, three-week bus ride that ends at Angel Island, San Francisco. It was organized by the social justice lobby, Network, to give a faith-based push to immigration-reform legislation now being debated in Congress.
They are promoting, say tour organizers, immigration reform that ensures family unity; protects the rights of immigrant workers; acknowledges that U.S. borders are already secure, with only minor changes needed; speeds up processing of already-approved immigrants; enhances the present diversity visa program and provides a clear and direct pathway to citizenship for the 11 million people who are undocumented in the U.S.
While Catholic Sisters head up the tour, the push for immigration reform has united religious groups across political and denominational spectrums.
At this kickoff event, Rabbi Rick Jacobs, president of the Union for Reform Judaism, joined Catholic Charities Executive Director Msgr. Kevin Sullivan as key speakers. The US Conference of Catholic Bishops and its Justice for Immigrants campaign are participating in events along the route.
Do you need a hand pulling documentation together to prepare for immigration reform?
Would you like to catch up with – or learn more about – the Nuns on the Bus at one of the 53 events scheduled in 40 cities across the United States?

Excellent Presentation
By freethinker
from Hanna City, IL
An excellent demonstration of how different living organisms makes use of proven patterns found in nature that man has defined with mathematical formulas (fractals, fibonnaci series, golden ratio) and use them to monitor their health, quantity along with a good idea of the condition of their environment. NG has somehow managed to package all this and more into a presentation that I feel would be easy to comprehend by the average viewer.

See the Difference
Powerful Virtual Machines. Powerful Graphics.
Fusion 8 Pro is optimized for the highest density 4K, 5K and Retina displays to give you a crisp and detailed view of your Windows applications. Experience more fluid graphics for every application in your virtual machine with newly added DirectX 10 and OpenGL 3.3 capabilities. With DirectX 10, Fusion 8 Pro makes every day applications like Office, as well as highly demanding 3D applications such as AutoCAD and SOLIDWORKS, run more smoothly than ever.
Create powerful virtual machines with up to 16 vCPUs, 8TB virtual disks, and up to 64 GB of memory to run the most demanding applications. You can also give graphics-intensive applications an additional boost by allocating up to 2GB of video memory to a virtual machine.
Near-Native Performance
Built on top of VMware's enterprise-class 64-bit engine, Fusion 8 Pro is engineered from the bottom up to deliver a near-native experience for your virtual environments. With a marked
3x performance increase
for suspend and resume functions when working with encrypted volumes, you can restore secure Windows environments faster than ever.

It's not just hype when VMWare claims that Fusion can run Windows software at 'near native' speeds.MacWorld UK
Take Fusion on the Go
Own the road with Fusion 8 Pro and refuse to compromise between power and performance. With up to 65% improved performance with OpenGL applications, and up to 15% improvement for DirectX 9, Fusion 8 Pro takes full advantage of the powerful hardware found in the latest Macs. For MacBook Pros with a discrete and an integrated GPU, Fusion 8 Pro will automatically use the most appropriate GPU depending on the task at hand, activating the more powerful discrete GPU for demanding 3D applications or using the integrated GPU when performing day-to-day tasks. For added control users can manually specify the GPU to use, or let Fusion 8 Pro automatically decide, providing you the best performance while least impacting your battery life without sacrificing choice. Fusion Pro will even suspend your virtual machine automatically when you close the lid, preventing any battery drain while you're on the go.
With advanced resolution handling and display topology detection, you can trust that when your MacBook, MacBook Air or MacBook Pro is connected to an external display that Windows will look as crisp as can be. If your Mac has a native Retina display or is connected to a 4K display, Fusion 8 Pro ensures you get a seamless experience even when running virtual machines across Retina and non-Retina displays.
Whichever Mac you use, Fusion ensures that every watt of power coming from your Mac's battery is used as efficiently as possible while continuing to deliver a crisp and fluid experience.
Plugged in to Your World
With Fusion 8 Pro, enhancements for applications such as Skype or Microsoft Lync enable Macs equipped with a FaceTime or iSight camera to conduct high-quality video conferences within a Windows virtual machine. Fusion 8 Pro also enables fast file transfer with USB 3.0 support, supports HD audio with 5.1 surround sound, and supports Bluetooth 4.0 wireless technology.
Enable Macs in Business
IT organizations today can take advantage of the BYOD trend by providing internal users with approved corporate Windows desktops as secure, policy-based virtual machines. Take a new approach to delivering IT-blessed desktops to end-user Macs by using restricted virtual machines with VMware Fusion 8 Pro. With Fusion Pro virtual machines, administrators can enforce corporate security policy-based capabilities on such as encryption, virtual machine lease times or expiration, or even prevent users from modifying the virtual machine's internals or configuration.
Fusion 8 Pro was made for Macs in business.
Restricted Virtual Machines
Create and control policies around your virtual machines and deliver applications to end-users in a Fusion 8 Pro restricted virtual machine container. Ensure corporate compliance by restricting access to virtual machine settings like drag-and-drop and cut-and-paste, disabling shared folders, and restricting access to USB devices. Fusion 8 Pro restricted virtual machines are encrypted and password-protected to ensure that unauthorized users are unable to tamper with the corporate virtual machines settings, data, or the virtual machine itself.
Expiring Virtual Machines
For workers assigned to short-term projects, temporary employees, or just delivering a software evaluation, Fusion 8 Pro can create restricted virtual machines that expire at a predefined date and time. When powered on, the virtual machine will query the server at specified time intervals, storing the current system time in the restricted virtual machine's policy file as the last trusted timestamp. An expired virtual machine will automatically suspend and will not restart without administrator intervention.
Single Virtual Machine Mode
Fusion 8 Pro can further reduce the cost of supporting Windows desktops with single virtual machine mode, which limits user access to the Virtual Machine library, eliminates the ability to create new virtual machines, and reduces menu options.
If you are running an IT department and need mass deployment options, this is the best option on the Mac.Arstechnica
Simplify License Management
Buying and managing Fusion 8 Pro licenses is easy. Purchase licenses in volume and configure them so your end users are productive using Windows on a Mac from their first power-on. Use the My VMware licensing portal to easily manage all your license keys and support entitlements. Merge license keys together, break them apart or downgrade them to an earlier release, as you see fit.

|Idaho tops Green Bay
MOSCOW, Idaho – This time, Idaho men's basketball took the lead and kept a firm grasp, and the Vandals got their first win of the season with a 72-62 victory over Green Bay on Tuesday at Memorial Gym.
Three days removed from fumbling a 15-point second-half lead in a home loss to Montana, Idaho (1-2) shot lights out, held a positive rebounding margin and, most importantly, got the defensive stops it needed against Green Bay (2-3).
"It was good to get our first win and I'm happy about that," Idaho head coach Don Verlin said. "I know the guys are relieved and hopefully, we can continue to go."
The Vandal men went 27-49 (.551) overall and 9-15 (.600) percent from 3-point range in the game, out-rebounded the Phoenix by a 34-27 margin and dished up 20 assists on 27 made field goals. Idaho also turned it over just 10 times and tallied 11 fast-break points in the game.
After a back-and-forth first five minutes, Idaho used a 10-0 run, in which four different players scored, to sprint out to a 21-11 lead at the 11:30 mark of the first half. The Vandal lead climbed as high as 13 points and no lower than eight before the Vandal men took a 39-29 lead into the half.
Another quick scoring run, this time a 7-0 spurt, put the Vandals ahead by 16 at 49-33 at the 14:01 mark. Idaho would extend its second-half margin to as many as 19 points, 66-47, with 6:37 to play, but Green Bay scratched back with a 13-4 run to pull within eight in the final 80 seconds.
The game was a mix of quick scoring runs by both sides and long droughts, and Verlin said that despite the start-and-stop pace of play, he was happy that his team maintained two key stats – rebounds and possession.
"The game was a little choppy and it didn't have a lot of flow to it, but you look at our stat sheet at the end of the game … we out-rebound them by seven and number two is we have 20 assists and 10 turnovers," Verlin said.
Another positive of the team totals is the fact that the 20 assists came from eight players. All but one Vandal scored, and even though senior guard Mansa Habeeb didn't net a point, he did serve up three assists and grab one steal.
Junior guard Stephen Madison led Idaho with 19 points and a career-high seven assists, along with four rebounds. Senior center Kyle Barone earned the 11th double-double of his career and his first of the season with 15 points and 10 rebounds on 7-of-9 shooting, while sophomore guard Connor Hill hit four of his six shots for 12 points.
Forward Brennan Cougill led Green Bay with 19 points, six rebounds and four assists, while guard Keifer Sykes added 13 points and four assists. Alec Brown and Kam Cerroni added nine points apiece for the Phoenix, which shot 42.6 percent from the floor and 33.3 percent from 3-point range.
The games only get more difficult from here for Idaho. The Vandals play at New Mexico (4-0) on Friday – a team that is receiving Associated Press Top 25 votes and just knocked off No. 21 Connecticut on Monday in the Paradise Jam Championship Game.
"Steve Alford has got a great program and I've been to The Pit a number of times," Verlin said. "It's quite special to go down there. We've played pretty well in our guarantee games in the past and it's going to take one heck of an effort to stay close in that game and have a chance to win."
Friday's game at Albuquerque, N.M., tips off at 7:30 p.m. (PT).

She may be known for her gorgeous looks, her rambunctious sense of humor, her commitment to faith and family and her steadfast refusal to change her politics to fit the local fashion. But one of Angie Harmon's strengths—her dedication to her profession—may have been underestimated: For the past few weeks, she has been filming her TNT crime series Rizzoli & Isles while walking around (and nabbing bad guys) on a badly injured ankle.
"I tripped over a C-stand [a piece of lighting equipment] on the set," she explains when we meet for dinner in a noisy L.A. bistro. "To save face, I kept saying, 'It's fine, it's fine,' but inside I'm thinking, It's bad, it's -really bad. You know when you're so hurt, you feel like you're going to throw up? But they just said it was a sprain—until the seventh doctor, the one I just saw. He said, 'We're looking for a break or a bruise or a tear.' Then he pulled up my X-ray and said, 'You have all three.' "
It's a development that could have been scripted for the sassy, self--assured detective she plays on one of cable TV's highest-rated shows—and soon was. While another actress might have been down for the season, Harmon returned to production, with her character, the admirably athletic Jane Rizzoli, simply pausing to ice her ankle.
The series is based on Tess Gerritsen's novels about Rizzoli, a tough Boston-based police detective, and her best friend, Dr. Maura Isles, a know-it-all medical examiner. Harmon's goofball irreverence, folksy delivery and loose-limbed swagger make Rizzoli seem like a homicide cop who could actually exist. On the show, she's the straight-up jock to the ultrafeminine Isles, played by Sasha Alexander.
When critics write about Rizzoli's success, they often mention its stars' winning chemistry—a rapport Alexander felt in her first audition with Harmon, who had already been cast. "Our humor completely clicked," she says of a read-through that was so spot-on that she was dumbfounded when Harmon later came to her in the waiting room and solemnly announced that the powers that be wanted them to give it another try. "I looked at her and said, 'I don't think it can get much better than that.' "
But when the two actresses returned to the audition room, Alexander was greeted with a standing ovation—and a job offer. "She'd already played a joke on me, and we hadn't even worked together yet," says Alexander, who loves how her friendship with Harmon, just like Isles's with Rizzoli, has gotten loopier over time. "We've had a lot of laughs over the cadavers," she adds, explaining that the dead bodies on the series are played by real people. "They'll fall asleep or start snoring, and Angie will go over and poke them." As for the male crew members, they're still unaccustomed to Harmon and Alexander's playful way of punctuating a sentence—which the actresses refer to as "boob slapping." "It's girly humor—we're very touchy-feely," says Alexander. "We'll make a joke or something, and I'll just slap her boob. And the guys will be like, 'Really?' "
A side effect of such fun-loving camaraderie is that a big part of the series' fan base believes these two attractive women are friends with benefits. Last season the lesbian website After Ellen even ran a countdown of "The Top 10 Gayzzoliest Moments on Rizzoli & Isles." Although both stars were initially taken aback when some of those admirers aggressively pushed for them to take their relationship to the next level—"It was like, 'We're not going to watch your show, because you won't write them making out,' " Harmon says—these days they welcome and occasionally wink at their lesbian following, looking deep into each other's eyes or brushing up against each other for no reason.
"Whether we're gay or straight, it doesn't matter," Harmon says. "We're all women. We all have the same wonderful situations happen to us, the same horrific situations. We all get our hearts broken. It's a show about friendship. It's a show about women holding their own and being amazing in their careers."
If she prizes Rizzoli's independent streak, perhaps it's because Harmon is from the Lone Star State. The only child of Dallas models Larry Harmon and Daphne Caravageli, she was raised to be comfortable around firearms ("Everyone in my family had guns"), to reflexively say please and thank you and to believe calorie counting is for sissies. Today, after polishing off a big bowl of littleneck clams, Harmon goes to work on the contents of the bread basket, orders a second Bloody Mary, then wants to know more about the special of the day, smoked duck linguine. "Did she just say 'duckling weenie?' " she whispers as the server walks away. "It must be a very small portion."
"She's got a Texas girl's appetite," says Harmon's first cousin, novelist Kim Gatlin (her book Good Christian Bitches was adapted into ABC's 2012 comedy GCB). "She will go to Snuffer's with you," Gatlin adds, referring to a Dallas joint famous for burgers and artery-clogging cheese fries.
Harmon's parents divorced when she was 13 months old. She was following in their career footsteps before she could speak. "My grandmother had a clipping of me [modeling] in a car seat," she says. At 15, she beat out 63,000 other girls to appear on the cover of Seventeen. "Everyone knew that there was something special about Angie," says Gatlin, adding that genetics—Harmon's mother is of Greek descent; her father's ancestry includes Cherokee—played their part. "Her dad and mom are the most beautiful people you'll ever see. They're freaks of nature." But Harmon set her sights on being in front of a different sort of camera early on. "She modeled by default; that was the family business. Modeling chose her—but she chose acting," Gatlin explains.
"I wanted to go to Juilliard desperately," says Harmon, who didn't have enough money to pay for the acting program that helped mold such stars as Jessica Chastain. So after spending her teen years with her father and graduating from Highland Park High, she headed not for college but for her mother's one-room apartment in Manhattan. For the next few years, she traveled the world, walking down runways for Calvin Klein, Donna Karan and Giorgio Armani. "I loved every moment of it," she says. "It was glamorous and exciting and fun. I mean, I'm in Azzedine Alaïa's factory and doing fittings and [talking to] Giorgio Armani—he was so interesting. I do wonder now," she says somewhat wistfully, "if Karl [Lagerfeld] or Giorgio would remember me, because they've seen so many faces since mine." But she's happy that models in the '90s weren't as scrutinized as they are today. "You didn't have to worry if you stumbled out of a club that the paparazzi were going to print horrible pictures of you."
She was on a plane when she was spotted by David Hasselhoff, who offered her a role as Ryan McBride, a detective on Baywatch Nights, a spinoff of his global juggernaut Baywatch. That the show was deemed preposterous by critics didn't matter to Harmon, who saw it as a training ground. The series ran for two cheese-filled seasons. But by the fall of 1998, when she made her debut as Abbie Carmichael, a hard-nosed, conservative assistant district attorney on Law & Order, she was ready to hit her mark alongside such esteemed actors as Jerry Orbach and Sam Waterston.
Waterston says what he remembers most about Harmon is "her spirit, clarity and energy—the freshness and readiness that she brought to work every day." She also, he adds, can play a tough woman whom viewers find endearing, because that ferocity "comes from strength, not from anger. She doesn't seem like an angry person; she just seems like she's got a lot of spine."
The Law & Order part gave her a chance to make viewers forget that megawatt model smile and beach-ready body and just accept her as a woman. "That's what made her a star," Rizzoli's Alexander says. "The thing about Angie is that as beautiful as she is, she's extremely relatable. She really communicates on camera."
It was during her Law & Order years that Harmon met New York Giants cornerback Jason Sehorn. Despite her instant attraction, she says, she made sure they "had a relationship" before moving to the bedroom. Otherwise, she says, "that's just setting it up for 'God, I hope he calls me again.' I am too emotionally distraught for that. I'd be a wreck. So I didn't sleep with him for two months." Less than a year after meeting, they were talking marriage. Still, Harmon was blindsided when, as she chatted with Jay Leno on the Tonight Show, Sehorn walked onstage, dropped to one knee and proposed. And even though Leno, guest Elton John and more than five million viewers were watching, Harmon remembers only the intimacy of the moment. "Everyone just disappeared," she says, "and it was just him and me."
In 2001 she walked down the aisle of Highland Park Presbyterian Church on her father's arm dressed in a white satin Vera Wang gown and an antique tiara. Her parents' divorce had left her with no fear of marriage, she says, "because I never knew what it entailed. It was like a fairy tale to me." Twelve years and three daughters later, what she wants is to bring up her children—Finley, nine; Avery, eight; and Emery, four—in a traditional home. "I didn't have that," says Harmon, who lived with her mother in a series of apartments ("It was sort of latchkey") until she moved in with her dad at age 11. When asked where she learned what it means to be a close-knit family, the kind she and Sehorn have formed, she shrugs uncomfortably and admits, "The Cosby Show."
Three years ago, Harmon started worrying about raising children in Los Angeles. "It was too fast for my little girls," she says. "They were coming home and talking about things that they had no business talking about"—things like making out with a boy. It was while she and Sehorn were visiting -NASCAR star Jimmie Johnson—Harmon is a huge NASCAR fan—in Charlotte, North Carolina, that she fell in love with the city's wide, canopy-oak-lined streets. "It reminded me so much of Dallas when I was growing up," she remembers. "I said to Jason, 'Isn't it beautiful? Can't you imagine raising the girls here?' And he stupidly said yes. So I basically bought a house the next day."
During the nine months when Rizzoli is in production in L.A., Sehorn, now a commentator for Charlotte-based ESPNU, holds down their female--dominant fort. "He's quite gifted as a father, very dedicated," Harmon says. Every night she checks in on her iPhone via FaceTime. Or at least she tries to. "It's hysterical," she says, laughing. "The girls are making faces at themselves and looking at their little window and don't even talk to me, and the next thing you know, I'm looking up somebody's left nostril. I say, 'Sweetie? Can you pull yourself just a bit back?' And so they pull way back, and then I'm looking at the refrigerator. They're all screaming and running and laughing. I think, OK. They're happy. So that's good."
Whenever she can grab a spare day, she flies in for a quick visit; to gain more time together, the family sometimes reunites midway, in Dallas, where they stay with cousins or other relatives. But it's clear that the grind of being first on the call sheet and child rearing at a distance takes its toll. When the guilt becomes overwhelming, Harmon turns to costar Lorraine Bracco, who plays Rizzoli's outspoken Italian mother. "We talk a lot about parenting," says Bracco, who has two grown daughters and recalls her own days of career-family struggle. Harmon, she says, makes it work: "She's got more energy than anybody I know. She's definitely a fun mom. Her girls are lovely. They're incredibly well behaved, smart, charming. They're little tomboys, too."
Even with the commuting challenges, Harmon finds Charlotte a good fit. She likes its friendly vibe and churchgoing habits, which reflect the importance of prayer in her life. "The one thing I've learned is that even in my darkest moments, when I feel the most alone, I'm not alone. I can still talk to God and ask for help. I want my girls to know that," she says, and she has enrolled her kids in a Christian school. But speaking to a higher power, Harmon adds, isn't the only avenue for problem solving: "I believe in therapy. I don't believe in staying in it for life. When you have an issue, you go talk to someone, get your issue taken care of, then you go live your life, and you're armed with the tools to do it correctly."
Charlotte's diverse political climate is another plus. A few years ago, Republican Harmon was leaving an event when a reporter approached her. "He asked me, 'Do you agree with the way the president is handling things right now?' I said, 'No, absolutely not.' " Though she'd always been open about her political allegiance—she and Sehorn even gave a joint speech at the 2004 GOP convention—Harmon says the remark triggered an Internet backlash: "The day after I said I didn't agree with the president, it was posted that I was a gay-hating racist." She spent the next year staging what she calls a "full-blown campaign" to clear up misperceptions, appearing on talk shows like Chelsea Lately and The View (where Sherri Shepherd and Harmon's longtime pal Whoopi Goldberg defended her). "I'm a liberal Republican," says Harmon, who is pro-choice and believes in marriage equality. "We actually exist."
When she talks about the experience, her shoulders droop: "I was devastated. I had one actor friend tell me I was brainwashed and stupid. Here was this brutally intelligent person, and I sat there looking at the limitations of his thoughts." But she remains unapologetic. "Call it naïveté or stupidity, but I didn't know that unless you are a Democrat, you aren't allowed to talk politics in Hollywood," Harmon says. "It's bizarre to me that the so-called tolerant party can be so intolerant."
She talks about her life progress with equal frankness. "I gotta tell you, 40 was really difficult for me," says Harmon, who hit that milestone last year. One way she celebrated—or eased the pain—was by buying a double strand of rose-cut diamonds that she's wearing around her neck today. She also found herself entering "not a midlife crisis, but a midlife wake-up. I'm halfway done," she says. "I still have some good years. But I see the clock ticking where I didn't see it before."
When asked what age has taught her to appreciate, Harmon doesn't hesitate: "My health, the beautiful moments in life. I've learned to stop and remind myself to look around and notice who I'm with. Then I take that moment to really record what is going on and to make it a great memory—because it is all so fleeting."

Time-out is a type of discipline that is used to stop a child from performing a bad behavior "isolating" the child for a period of time. Time-out helps establish that the parent is in charge, and allows the child to think about what he/she has done. Time-outs are useful for aggressive and harmful behaviors in toddlers and preschool-aged children.
The place for time-out to occur should be chosen ahead of time, not at the time of the behavior. The following are some examples of places for time-out:

ASK IRA: Has the Heat filled all of its roster needs?
Q: Is there any other player out there at point guard that the Heat could trade for or that could be released by another team? If not, what else does this team need? — Roberto.
A: At this point, it sure seems like the Heat is done with any type of veteran pickups. With Eddie House and Kenny Hasbrouck, there are two swing-type guards to play behind Wade, Miller, Chalmers and Arroyo. If there was another veteran added, a perimeter defensive stopper would be the choice here.
Q: I like Eddie House, but isn't he pretty one dimensional? We already have James Jones. I would have expected a little more of an all-around player, like Larry Hughes. –Jeffrey.
A: At the minimum, you get what you get. The difference is Eddie, at this point of his career, appreciates that he is a specialist. With Larry, there might be more of an expectation of routine playing time. Larry remains a possibility, though, as long as he remains unsigned.
Q: Do you expect a trade to move Chalmers for another point guard? — Robert.
A: No, I think the Heat almost is trying to go out of its way to keep the point guard position low-key, appreciating that Wade and LeBron will handle most of the ballhandling. That's why Eddie House made sense, because of his ability to also play off the ball.
Q: I don't understand that whole rule where you must have three players deactivated. What's the big deal if you have all 15 ready to play? What does it hurt if all players are game ready? Does David Stern own stock in suit companies? — Martin.
A: First, at least it's a step forward from when players outside of the active 12 had to be on the five-game injured list. In this case, I think it's more a case of competitive balance, since some teams can't even dress 10 quality players, while it looks like the Heat will have to sit one or two.
Q: I was just wondering if you think there will be a potential NBA lockout next season, and, if so, do you think the Heat have the most to suffer from it with their recent signings of the Big Three? — Craig.
A: I do think a lockout would be a huge setback, since it would cost this team one year of the players' contracts. And it does seem like a lockout is inevitable.

Aston Martin Vanquish Custom Hoods, Aston Martin Vanquish Custom Trunks
Aftermarket Aston Martin Vanquish hoods help make a car look newer. Just this one replacement can make a big difference in a car's appearance, mainly because it's such a large component in and of itself. You can replace a Aston Martin Vanquish hood with one that's an exact copy of the vehicle's stock Aston Martin hood, or you can select a customized Aston Martin hood that falls in line with a new design you had in mind for your Aston Martin car. Either way, you'll end up with a Aston Martin car that's better looking, with an engine that's better protected from anything that might damage it
Aston Martin Vanquish Carbon Fiber Trunks are located at the back of most Aston Martin trucks, Aston Martin SUVs, and Aston Martin cars, and act as the main storage spaces for these vehicles. For Aston Martin truck owners, the Aston Martin trunk is mostly an open bed that is left uncovered. For Aston Martin drivers of cars and SUVs, however, the Aston Martin trunk is often a distinct space reserved for the transportation of luggage, groceries, and all kinds of other odds and ends.
Though you can't replace the Aston Martin trunk space itself, you can replace the Aston Martin rear trunk hatch that keep that keeps the trunk space enclosed. Also often known as a Aston Martin Vanquish hatch, this piece is as replaceable as the Aston Martin Vanquish front hood is, though it is replaced far less commonly. If your car got rear-ended, or even if it's just bruised up a bit to the point where paint alone can't make a difference, you may want to replace that trunk hatch or Aston Martin Vanquish hood with an aftermarket version that looks cleaner and newer to help maintain the value of your Aston Martin vehicle.

Drafty, old, beloved Martin House yields place for future lovely, traffic-smart entrance to EMU
Facebook lit up with nostalgic comments when Eastern Mennonite University posted a photo of Martin House being torn down in August 2013. Hundreds of students had lived there since the 1960s, when EMU purchased the house. "Gasp!" exclaimed one former student. "Noooo," said ...More

I am seriously considering getting a 000-15M. Looks like a fabulous blues box. Any thoughts from those who own or have played one? I love hog and have a D18V. Had a 000-15 some years back but sold it. This newer 000-15M looks to be a nice update to that old one.
Views: 1100
You might checkout a Gibson L00...small body like a Martin 00 but deeper for more bass response...wider fingerboard too for fingerpicking the blues! Edward
Thanks for the suggestion. I have had my experience w/ deeper bodied, wider fingerboard guitars and I am looking for narrower at this point.
I have a D-15M and I've been admiring a 000-15M on the wall of our music store. If your 000-15 was a few years ago, it's likely it was mahogany not sapele....which would be close to the new 000-15M.
The smaller body Gibson is pretty popular for blues, as Richard says. Personally, I would prefer the 000-15M.
When I had my 000-15 I think it was around 2005 so definitely sapele. I like the nice touches Martin did on the M model with the rosette, inlay, tuners.
Hi, I'm using an OMC-15E, which is similar all mahogany body - top back and sides,, and, honestly, I've been getting some great unsolicited comments about the sound, ...but - I'm using the Fishman pickup all the time when I record, not miked.
Whatever you decide to do I'd suggest you always try the 000-15M out first yourself before you buy. I've come across a few guitarists in forums who actually buy guitars without having played them and rely on other players opinions. That's too risky for me :)
I have a few places I'll check to see if one is in stock. I am used to guitars I like not being in stores and I have bought many guitars (including Martins) sight unseen and unheard.
...you're brave :)
The reason I'm not as brave as you is because about a year ago I almost bought a Breedlove before playing it, but chickened out at the last minute and decided to travel to the store in Newcastle. The guitar turned out to be not how I'd imagined, and the set up was terrible. Maybe just a rare bad one. Didn't sound how I'd expected either when I tried a few other Breedloves.
Anyways, good luck :)
I only buy through a trusted dealer. I've never had a problem.
Had a similar experience with an 00-15S and 000-15SM, both were slotted heads, and gone by the time I returned to the shop. No worries, though, I feel in love with an HD-28 and took her home. Now, I would still like to find one of those guitars to go along with the other. I love that 'woody' sound and the seperation of the tones for folk and fingerstyle playing. I prefer the Mahogany rather than the sapele, though similar, the Mahogany has more character to my ears anyway.
Martin shows the 000-15SM as a current model. Just sayin...
Funny thing. When I first went into the store the guitar pulled a 000-15S (000-15MS?) off the wall. I know there's a lot of love for this model but I already have a custom Clarksdale all hog slotted 12 fretter. I had an HD28 for a while but sold it. Too much reverb for my taste. Gorgeous though.
Oops - I should have said "the guitar dealer pulled a 000-15S off the wall."

All things Mother Earth Living
by Robyn Griggs Lawrence, Editor at Large
wabi-sabi, Wabi-Sabi Wednesday, Simply Imperfect,
On Wabi-Sabi Wednesdays, I feature excerpts from my upcoming book, Simply Imperfect: Revisiting the Wabi-Sabi House, which will be released this month.
Writing a book—and waiting, waiting, waiting for it to get published—is an inherently wabi-sabi act (sometimes painfully slow but just as satisfying). I wrote Simply Imperfect: Revisiting the Wabi-Sabi House nearly a year ago, and it's finally coming off press this week. I've read and re-read the proofs so many times that I'm honestly a little tired of myself, so I'm happy to turn this week's Wabi-Sabi Wednesday post over to Mother Earth News readers, who provide daily inspiration for simple, soulful living.
We asked our Facebook friends, "Is there a simple, well-worn object in or aspect of your home that brings you joy or solace?" Some responses gave me shivers; some brought a tear; every one of them made me smile. Here are a few favorites from our inspiring, eloquent community of kindred spirits. (More to come.)
Several people hold books dear, as true artifacts of a passing era.
Beth Roberts McAllister, who lives on her family's homestead, is surrounded by warm memories. "I have a wall covered in family photos going back generations. I have pieces of furniture and china that have been in the family longer than I have. But the one place that is my 'place of peace' is my library full of old books (my old friends),' she writes.
Robert Haver says his worn reading chair and reading light provide joy and solace. "It's always a comfort to get away from the technology and immerse myself in print."
Robert Stock loves all his books but is partial to an old copy of John Seymour's Guide to Self Sufficiency.
For Debbie Moore, thumbing through old magazines is a sacred act. She treasures her first 80 issues of Mother Earth News.
Heirlooms—whether well-worn through loving use or astonishingly still in good working order—are treasured items for many people.
Kelsey Bacon treasures a set of small white bowls from her great-great grandmother. "They would have to be between 50 and 75 years old, and they are still in use!" she writes. "It adds to the feeling of continuity of life when my two year old daughter eats from them!"
Charlie Rainbow Wolf wouldn't be without the Pyrex mixing bowl that her mother used to make cookies. "I used it when my daughter was young, to make cookies," she says. "And now, every time I use it, that bowl links the three of us together forever in my heart."
Deborah Boynton Robillard still uses her grandmother's solid wood cutting board, which has a big indentation in the middle from years of use. "I love it and think of my grandmother every time I use it.....the years I spent as a small child sitting in the kitchen with her 'helping' her cook."
Mary Mooney-Hughes still uses the white enamel table with wooden legs and a cutlery drawer that was in her grandparents' home in the Bronx. "Very durable—hot pots can be put on it," she says. "Dough can be rolled on it."
Kristin Humphrey Benini says the veneer is chipped on her great-grandparents' worn early 20th-century dining table. "But I love it and the fact that so many generations have eaten meals together on it means the world!" she says.
Kyann Barton has rocked three babies in the wicker rocker passed down from her grandma. Now with a fourth baby in her belly, Kyann likes "to sit by the window in it and watch all the critters."

Heidi Solberg Viar has used a quilt her grandmother made since she received it as a high school graduation gift. "It's a bit ragged," she says.
For Allison Gail Capps, quilts made by her mother and aunts and her mom's old sewing machine make a house a home. "My hubby is active duty military, and every time we move, those are the first decorations I hang up," she says.
Cathy Thompson Pring's three-year-old son now uses the Bambi blanket that she had as a child as his 'lovey.'
Salt of the Earth Urban Farm reports that she still uses her great-grandmother's tablecloths, "with the patches and mending she and my grandmother added to keep them going."
Amber Bachmann's great-grandmother made her aprons that she adores. "Every time I wear one, it is like a hug from her," she writes.
Gail Standish Ward still has her grandmothers' spinning wheel and several linen sheets with tatted lace that she made with it. "It reminds me of the courage and determination she had," Gail says.
Patricia Pickerell Best loves her grandmother's old sewing machine because she can still picture her grandmother "patiently making pillow cases out of old rags."
Lisa Sale Harvey actually hauls out her grandmother's old wringer washer and uses it in the summer.
For some folks, everyday things make all the difference.
Donna Landrum says the old blue cereal bowl that she's been using for more than 40 years "makes cereal, oatmeal and homemade ice cream taste better."
Lori Biamonte says her old cast iron skillet is "getting better all the time."
Shirley Keeton wouldn't part with a lovely coffee mug that she bought in Michigan. "Its decorations make me smile. It feels wonderful in my hands. To me it says home."
Mary Margarete Carlisle's favorite object, a polished river stone with a tiny rough spot where a crystal sparkled, represents the peace that comes from knowing we are not perfect. "The action of the river slowly smoothed the softer stone, but left this reminder that no matter how hard we work, in the end our own imperfections will define us as much as our more positive aspects—and sometimes, when accepted, may have a beauty all of their own that adds to the whole."
Thank you, everybody, for the inspiration.

Civil Engineering and Surveying Technology: AAS
The field of civil engineering deals with planning, design, construction, and maintenance of private and public projects. These projects include highways, bridges, dams, subdivisions, water supply and waste systems. Land surveyors perform a variety of important tasks, such as boundary surveys, topographic mapping and construction staking. Civil Engineering and Surveying Technology graduates work with or in support of professional engineers and land surveyors.
Civil engineering and surveying are some of the broadest fields of engineering, and are part of virtually all construction-related projects. Graduates have local, state-wide, and nation-wide employment opportunities.
The Civil Engineering and Surveying Technology program promotes education in the relevant theory and practice common to all branches of civil engineering and surveying. Every effort is made to relate theory to practical situations. To achieve this goal, the faculty members are selected from broad and diverse backgrounds and work experience.

Engineering: University Transfer
The Engineering Technology program is more application-based than the Engineering: University Transfer program. Not all technology courses will transfer. Students interested in future transfer should take MTH 251: Calculus I and MTH 252: Calculus II as elective courses to provide a potential pathway to transfer with three years of combined coursework.
Civil Engineering and Surveying Technicians
Civil engineering and surveying are the largest fields of engineering in Oregon and the nation. Virtually all construction and development projects require the services of civil engineers and surveyors. The AAS program provides a broad-based education, which provides UCC graduates with multiple career pathways. Employees that are able to work as both an engineering technician and surveying technician are a valuable asset to many employers. In addition, the problem-solving skills developed in the program apply to other branches of engineering, and many UCC graduates are employed in other engineering-related fields.
Average beginning salaries for Surveying Technicians and Civil Engineering Technicians are in the range of $13.50 to $18.50 per hour, depending on experience and other factors. Demand for trained workers in this field is related to the amount of construction and development occurring in the area.

Doctors are hoping some community education on the dangers of raw shellfish will help keep people safe. This comes after one Panhandle man dies and a second is still clinging to life after eating raw oysters.
Oysters are a Panhandle favorite, but a pair of recent blood poisonings has at least two local families thinking twice about eating them raw.
Brenda Vincent rushed her brother to the hospital on Wednesday just days after he ate raw oysters. James Palmer had liver problems in the past, but Vincent says no one ever told them he couldn't eat oysters.
She says, "He had some on Thursday and Friday and then had about six more on Saturday."
Palmer is still touch and go after losing one leg to the blood poisoning known as Vibrio Vulnificus. That's the technical name for the bacteria present in warm salt water and some oyster beds. Doctors say once the bacteria is in your blood it spreads quickly.
Infectious Disease Specialist Dr. Ikram Haq says, "Its acute onset starts in the lower extremities."
Vincent says that's exactly what happened to her brother.
"It starts as a rash and then it goes to a blister then it gets real red and after that it turns black and it moves up your leg so fast."
Dr. Haq says the rash can turn into severe blisters in less tan 24 hours. At that point doctors usually have to amputate. Dr. Haq says those with liver disease and immune disorders are more susceptible to the bacteria and should never eat raw oysters, and he says the bacteria can even make healthy people feel sick to their stomachs.
Both men ate Apalachicola oysters a few days before being rushed to the hospital. The Franklin County Health Department is looking into the matter.
What Is Vibrio Vulnificus?
Vibrio vulnificus is a bacterium in the same family as those that cause cholera. It normally lives in warm seawater and is part of a group of vibrios that are called "halophilic" because they require salt.
What Type of Illness Does V. Vulnificus Cause?
How Common Is V. Vulnificus Infection?
How Do Persons Get Infected/Treated?
Tips for Preventing V. Vulnificus
1. Do not eat raw oysters or other raw shellfish.
2. Cook shellfish (oysters, clams, mussels) thoroughly:
3. For shellfish in the shell, either a) boil until the shells open and continue boiling for 5 more minutes, or b) steam until the shells open and then continue cooking for 9 more minutes. Do not eat those shellfish that do not open during cooking. Boil shucked oysters at least 3 minutes, or fry them in oil at least 10 minutes at 375°F.
4. Avoid cross-contamination of cooked seafood and other foods with raw seafood and juices from raw seafood.
5. Eat shellfish promptly after cooking and refrigerate leftovers.
6. Avoid exposure of open wounds or broken skin to warm salt or brackish water, or to raw shellfish harvested from such waters.
7. Wear protective clothing (e.g., gloves) when handling raw shellfish.

Y expansion solidifies its key role in city's downtown
Published: Saturday, June 29, 2013 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, June 28, 2013 at 11:56 a.m.
Downtown Lexington boasts some long-time, anchor attractions that range from government buildings to churches, businesses to monuments. The J. Smith Young YMCA, which has operated since 1953 in its current facility with some expansions over the years,would certainly fall into that category. The Y brings thousands of people into downtown Lexington, a group that includes not only members but those who belong to civic clubs and other groups, swimmers and their parents, bowlers and many others. The Y, Edward C. Smith Civic Center and Davidson County Courthouse are most likely responsible for the greatest number of visitors to downtown each year.
The Lexington City Council on Monday approved making Hargrave Street one way between West Third and West Fourth avenues, which will allow the Y to expand. The facility is landlocked, so to add rest rooms for the dining area and increase the size of the swimming pool area required going toward Hargrave Street. The city's cost will be minimal, and the Y will pay for its work through a successful $1.5 million capital campaign. From time to time word surfaces about major downtown tenants considering a relocation, and no one wants to see that happen. The expansion should position the Y to remain a drawing card for Lexington's core.
Tourism has continued to become more and more important to Davidson County, and the unveiling this week of the North Carolina Daniel Boone Heritage Trail offers another option for visitors. The 22-mile trail along the Yadkin River features 10 historical locations that can be seen from those kayaking or canoeing along the river. The wider variety of attractions the county can offer, the better. The trail connects not only with outdoor water enthusiasts but also those who are interested in one of the nation's most famous outdoorsmen.
Homicides don't happen often in Davidson County, for which we can all be thankful. Many result in fairly quick arrests, as they are domestic related. But others don't point to a suspect immediately, so when an arrest comes, it brings relief to family members and the community. The Lexington Police Department charged three people with murder this week in the June 18 death of Maximino Rubio in his home on Barney Drive. Robbery appears to be the motive.
For the seventh time, youths and adults from across the nation visited Lexington to participate in a Group WorkCamp. The camp provides a mission opportunity for the youths and allows the completion of needed improvements at 50 sites around the county. Much of this work would never be undertaken without the volunteer effort. The Lexington Housing Community Development Corp. does an excellent job hosting the camp each year, which is one reason it continues to return to the county.

Women's Wednesday - Sonya Attacked the Yak
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
This ain't Colorado anymore
Sonya Looney just completed what in one of the toughest Mountain Bike races in the World, the Yak Attack one which she feels was easier than last year, which turned out to be epic failure for her. Sonya wasn't the only one from Colorado who headed to Nepal for the event, four from Colorado made the trip.
From Bicycling.com
This was my second time competing in the Yak Attack, and though the snows were deeper on the high-mountain stages this year, and much of Stage 8 and 9 were not rideable, they seemed less challenging. Last year, I had a splitting headache and experienced several moments during which I doubted that I could finish. But I learned valuable lessons and this year I was hydrated, healthier and better acclimated, so I suffered less from altitude.

Nutrition advice has performed some spectacular flip-flops over the years. Eggs were banished from the breakfast table, then later welcomed back. Margarine was deemed healthier than butter—until researchers determined that the trans fats used to make the first generation of margarines were much harder on the heart than butter.
Yet one dietary guideline has stood fast for half a century: Saturated fat, found chiefly in meat and high-fat dairy products such as cheese, is bad—because it leads to clogged arteries, heart attacks and strokes. Now that certainty isn't just wobbling; it's toppling. According to recent research, saturated fat may not be a villain after all. In fact, some foods high in saturated fat may lower your risk of stroke and type 2 diabetes. And steering clear of foods just because they contain saturated fat, and eating other foods just because they are low in saturated fat, may be the unhealthiest choice of all.
One of the most prominent proponents of rewriting the book on saturated fat is cardiologist Dariush Mozaffarian, an associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and the author of more than 100 scientific papers on nutrition and health. We asked him to explain why the conventional wisdom on saturated fat is misleading—and how eating it, in moderation, can sometimes be the healthiest move you could make.
Q: Saturated fat has been dietary public health enemy number one for decades. Why do you think telling people to avoid it is bad advice?
A: The recommendation to cut back on saturated fat was based on concerns that it raises the risk of heart disease. But we've learned that its effects are more complex than we first thought.
We've known since the 1960s that saturated fat raises LDL cholesterol, the "bad" cholesterol. But LDL is just one biomarker for risk. We now know that there are other cholesterol-containing particles, called HDL, that are related to a lower risk of heart disease. We also know that high levels of triglycerides in the blood, along with other factors, predict heart disease risk. Saturated fat does raise LDL cholesterol. But compared to carbohydrates, it also raises HDL cholesterol and lowers triglycerides. If we looked just at LDL, we would predict that saturated fat raises heart disease risk. If we looked at the effect of saturated fat on HDL and triglycerides, we would suppose that saturated fat lowers that risk. If we looked at the combination, we would predict that saturated fat is relatively neutral for heart disease risk compared to carbohydrates.
Q: So is saturated fat good or bad?
A: To answer that, we need to study how eating saturated fat relates to actual diseases, not simply to biomarkers such as blood cholesterol that only suggest the possibility of artery damage. Three groups of researchers have recently weighed data from all available large long-term studies that have tracked saturated-fat intake and heart attacks or strokes. All three found no association between saturated fat and heart attacks or strokes. People who consumed the highest levels of saturated fat had about the same rates of heart disease as people who consumed the least.
Q: Those are amazing results, given decades of advice to cut back on saturated fat. How do you explain them?
A: When you ask whether saturated fat is good or bad, the question should be, "Compared to what?" Compared to polyunsaturated fat from vegetable oils, saturated fat is clearly more harmful to the heart. But compared to trans fat, saturated fat is healthier. Compared to carbohydrates, a category that includes starches and grains as well as sugary foods, saturated fat is probably neutral. But compared to refined carbohydrates—the kind found in white breads, most breakfast cereals and snack foods and sweets, for -instance—many foods with saturated fat appear to be a better choice. They also seem less likely than refined carbohydrates to raise heart disease risk.

ARLINGTON, Texas – When a baseball team loses 3-2, as the Angels did against the Texas Rangers on Friday afternoon, the problem is generally not the "3."
It's the "2."
While it might be tempting to look at the one-run lead the Angels surrendered in the seventh and blame the loss on relievers Garrett Richards or Scott Downs, who gave the tying and go-ahead runs, respectively, the fact is this Angels team should be giving its pitchers more room for an occasional mistake.
"The pitching staff did a great job giving us a chance to win," catcher Chris Iannetta said. "We just need to hit a little better."
With the appropriate disclaimer that four games is the blink of an eye in a 162-game season, the Angels are nonetheless batting just .219. They have averaged 3.25 runs. They have hit four homers, and none has come from the vaunted top half of the lineup.
Mike Trout is a respectable 5 for 19 (.263), and he's hit some balls on the button. But Josh Hamilton (1 for 16, eight strikeouts), Albert Pujols (1 for 14) and Mark Trumbo (3 for 16) are each searching.
"We know the power is going to show up," Manager Mike Scioscia said. "There is nothing to overreact to. These guys have had four games offensively that they haven't done what they are capable of.
"Albert has hit some balls hard and they haven't fallen in, and Josh is trying to get his feet settled. He had a big hit (a tying two-run single) in Cincinnati, but outside of that he's not where he needs to be."

Reagan's Cupcake Party (23 photos)

It is a very rare occasion where I don't plan on putting together a party, but my daughter's third birthday was one of them. It's a tradition for us to take our family on a vacation to Disneyland when one of the kidlets turns three and I take that as my cue to bypass the party chaos. This year, the Husband decided his little girl needed a party, so party it is. After narrowing down our options, Reagan ultimately decided on a Cupcake Party and I ran with it, taking a few creative detours in the process.
The basis for the party was cupcakes with a splash of Valentine's Day. Because her birthday is January 21st, it makes for a perfect marriage of an upcoming holiday and her celebration. I started off with a color scheme of pink, red, and turquoise, found the perfect cupcake clipart, and went from there!

What's the best exercise routine for losing weight? Interval training, which alternates short bouts of high-intensity exercise with longer bouts of lower-intensity activity. "Both research and personal experience have proven it to be the most effective cardio for fat loss," writes legendary trainer Brad Schoenfeld in his book Women's Home Workout Bible . The less intense periods enable you to recover from the high intensity periods, with the result that you tend to burn more calories overall than if you exercised at one speed throughout your session. In addition, interval routines are especially effective at increasing your metabolic rate after you finish exercising, and this afterburn is associated with the release of two hormones (growth hormone and noradrenaline) that help break down fat stores.
Here are three different ways to spin interval routines.
Interval workout #1: Lifesprints
Using this regimen, Gail Trapp, PhD, an exercise scientist at Australia's University of South Wales, showed that women who did an interval program lost more body fat than those who worked out at a steady pace for the same amount of calories. Trapp used a stationary bike, but you can also do the routine on an elliptical trainer or other machine that allows you to change the intensity quickly. Trapp's research group offers a CD, available on iTunes, that prompts you to switch intensities.
Warm up for 5 minutes, and then start your intervals, sprinting all out for 8 seconds, then pedaling slowly for 12 seconds. Start with 5 minutes of intervals and work your way up to 20 minutes. Finish with 5 minutes of easy exercise.
Interval workout #2: 30-Second Sprints
This workout is most easily done on cardio machines but can also be followed outdoors using a stop watch. If you use the treadmill, vary the speed or the incline, or, for the advanced exerciser, both. On a bike or elliptical machine, vary the resistance or speed or both.
Warm up for 5 minutes, and then for 20 minutes alternate 30 or 60 seconds of sprinting with 1 minute of recovery at an effortless pace. Cool down for 5 minutes.
Interval workout #3: The Climb
Choose any cardio machine. Warm up for 5 minutes, and then complete the following sequence five times:
1st minute : easy exertion
2nd minute: moderate exertion
3rd minute: hard exertion
4th minute: very hard exertion (If this level is too challenging, repeat the exertion of the 3rd minute here.)
Finish with a 5-minute cooldown.
