Community Cycles wants you to vote Yes on 2B, 2C & 2D
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
From Community Cycles
Moving Boulder Forward - Vote Yes on 2B, 2C & 2D - Balancing Open Space, Transportation and the General Fund
This package of one new interim tax (2B) and two renewing sales taxes (2C & 2D) represents a careful rebalancing of resources that will fully fund the Open Space vision plan while investing resources in transportation infrastructure and other city services that contribute to our community's quality of life.
The two renewing taxes, adding up to .48%, when first passed were dedicated to Open Space. After reviewing the budget, it became clear that the Open Space Department would be able to fulfill their "vision" level plan with significantly less than the full .48%. The current ballot measures direct .22% to Open Space, to preserve and protect that important amenity. Basic services like police, fire and libraries, which are paid for by the General Fund, would receive .11%, and .15% would go to transportation needs, including infrastructure maintenance for autos and alternative modes. A short term bridge tax (2B) appears on the ballot to tide that department over until the renewed/redirected tax (2C) kicks in, if approved. .Community Cycles has been instrumental in bringing transportation funding to the ballot.

What? Give more money for the Boulder City and County transportation departments to waste? Why don't they get more creative and innovative with the funds they have? Or be more responsible with the tax payer's dollars they just pass on to consultants to do the work? Maybe if this doesn't pass the County won't have any money to waste on chip sealing the roads?!?!

Barberton man sentenced to life in prison without parole for killing his mother
AKRON, Ohio - A Barberton man has been sentenced to serve life in prison without the possibility of parole for murdering his 67-year-old mother last year.
Michael Petrie, 33, of Barberton, was arrested and charged with killing Maureen Petrie after family members found her body in her home in 2013.
Prosecutors said Michael Petrie struck his mother in the left side of the head with the butt of a sai, a martial arts weapon, and stabbed her in the face and heart in October 2012.
The body was not discovered until April 2013 and Petrie lived in the home for most of that time.
Petrie pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity to the crime and went to trial. The jury found him legally sane and guilty of aggravated murder, murder and abuse of a corpse.

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – A gold medalist found dead Thursday is being remembered today. Andrew Simpson was the Artemis Racing AC72 member who died during America's Cup training practice yesterday in San Francisco's Bay. Artemis Racing AC72 confirmed the death of Andrew Bart Simpson yesterday May 9, 2013. Simpson was submerged roughly ten minutes after his yacht capsized. Twelve members were on board at the time. Eleven were rescued with one suffering nominal injuries.
The gold medalist was remembered for his achievements Friday. His death was confirmed by team officials in a statement yesterday. "Simpson, a British Olympic gold medalist, was one of the 11-man crew aboard Artemis Racing's AC72 catamaran which capsized during training on San Francisco Bay ahead of this summer's America's Cup. All other crewmembers are accounted for."
Because of the yacht' movement, Simpson was completely trapped and unable to break free, officials told news. "Simpson, however, was trapped underneath the boat and despite attempts to revive him by doctors afloat and subsequently ashore, his life was lost."
His team has yet to indicate what caused the yacht to flip. "'We had a tragic day today on the bay. Our thoughts are with Andrew Simpson's wife and kids and also with the rest of the team. This is a shocking experience to go through".
Simpson won the Olympic goal in 2008 and silver in the last games. "Moving the family to San Fran for 6 months is pretty hectic!!!," Simpson told news just in March "The cup should be fun though!!"
"The entire Artemis team is devastated by what happened," CEO Paul Cayard said in a statement to news yesterday. "Our heartfelt condolences are with Andrew's wife and family."

I'm wondering why I've heard a couple of times that it's bad to enter an IP directly as MX record. Most ISP's advise us to create an A record with the mailserver IP and use that A-record as MX record.
I've entered an IP as MX before and it worked most of the time but there were cases that it didn't work. Can't seem to find why.
Is there a reasonable explanation for this?

[artist id="1678002″]Pitbull[/artist] gets pretty demanding on his hit "Give Me Everything," , but for his 2011 VMA performance, Mr. 305 looks to turn the tables and offer fans a taste of Miami.
"I did get the most beautiful women from Miami to come over and create Pandora's box," Pit told MTV News. "So if you're bringing your wife, your girlfriend, boyfriend to the show, you might lose 'em."
MTV News was present at Mr. Worldwide's VMA rehearsal on Thursday at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles, and the rapper comes through as promised. Pit and collaborators Ne-Yo and Nayer ran through their number, flanked by approximately 60 curvaceous female dancers.
"We have some backup dancers: one or two or 60," Ne-Yo teased . "And two of the best-dressed men in the business. What more can you ask for?"
Lindsay Lohan's lawsuit hasn't dampened Pit's party plans. The troubled actresses filed suit against the Cuban pop sensation, claiming that his lyrics on "Give Me Everything" were defamatory. But during the run-through, Mr. 305 didn't bite his tongue as he freely rapped the line in question without censoring himself. "I got it locked like Lindsay Lohan," Pit spit.
On Thursday, Pit addressed the suit in a video on his Planet Pit website, inviting La Lohan to join him at the VMAs . "We'll be performing ['Give Me Everything"] at the VMAs and, as a matter of fact, I'd like to send out an invitation to Lindsay Lohan," Pitbull said. "Hopefully she can come with me to the VMAs, and we can figure this out." According to TMZ, however, the actress has declined.
Still, Pit's offer stands. "I said it, I meant it, and if she takes it, great. If she doesn't, cool. But she will have her tickets at will call," he told MTV News.
In the meantime, the show goes on, and if the bilingual hit-maker's practice run is any indication, Pit plans to leave everything he's got on the stage, proving that it's better to give than receive. Que rico!
The 28th annual MTV Video Music Awards will air live Sunday, August 28, from the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles at 9 p.m. ET/PT, following the Selena Gomez-hosted pre-show at 8. See the list of nominees, revisit last year's highlights and vote for Best New Artist by visiting VMA.MTV.com.

The output from a route optimization program results in a digital display of each numbered route shown on the map in a unique color. Standard data browser tools are easy to use: zoom in/out, pan, and full extent. The auto-tracing command demonstrates how a snowplow should progress though its route. Aprintout of turn-by-turn directions can be generated for the driver to use until the route is learned or for substitute drivers not familiar with the route.
Optimized routing also identifies the need to relocate staging facilities for de-icing and aggregate materials. Salt domes often are not in the best location to service finely tuned routes. Repositioning existing facilities or adding new ones to further minimize downtime and fuel usage becomes an easier task.
AVL is the real-time depiction of in-service vehicles on a GIS map using a global positioning system (GPS) to establish location, and a communications link to relate this information to the GIS. The progress of snowplows equipped with AVL can be tracked remotely by supervisory personnel, and also by citizens if the information is made available via a city-maintained Web site. A "bread crumb" trail shows where roads already have been cleared.
In addition to current position, onboard sensors can relay other data back to the GIS. Of particular interest to supervisors are variables that affect the budget, such as deadhead time (plow up), operator break time, start/stop time of individual routes, amount of materials spread, fuel stops, and resumption of service.
Once captured, the information paints a complete picture of the resources expended in fighting a storm and removes much of the uncertainty involved in creating accurate budgets.

As summer draws to a close, we applaud the well-organized and managed construction project to widen U.S. Highway 14-A east of Cody to five lanes — two lanes going each direction, with a turning lane in the middle.
The $9. 6 million project is the last of 11 projects the Wyoming Department of Transportation has planned and overseen since 2001 to widen the highway between Powell and Cody at a total cost of nearly $66.4 million, making it easier, faster and safer to travel between the two cities.
July 22, 2014 8:26 am
The summer is half over, three weeks of July have passed and the weather is heating up. In Powell, that means one thing: This is Park County Fair week.

Optimizing Small Molecule Organic Solar Cells
An Alternative to Traditional Solar Power
With the ever-growing energy demands of our modern world and an increased awareness of the environmental impacts of traditional fossil fuels, there is a great need for an abundant supply of clean, alternative energy. Every day the sun provides us with a nearly limitless supply of solar energy, however, commercially available solar panels still remain too expensive to viably compete with fossil fuels on a large scale. As an alternative to the traditional solar panels, which utilize expensive single crystalline inorganic materials, organic solar cells utilize semiconducting plastics as the active layers, which have extremely good absorption using very thin layers and can be easily modified through chemical synthesis. Furthermore, these materials can be deposited from solution, leading to the potential for ink-jet printing or roll-to-roll coating, making the technology scalable and low-cost.
Controlling the Internal Film Structure
Due to the intrinsic properties of organic materials, a single material cannot be used in an organic solar cell. Instead, two organic semiconductors, an electron donor material and electron are co-deposited from a volatile solvent, leaving a thin film of interpenetrating phases termed a bulk heterojunction. Integral to improving efficiency is controlling the three-dimensional self-assembly of this bicontinuous network during the drying process, either through processing conditions such as solvent choice or molecular design. Ideally, one must maximize the donor-acceptor interface, while still maintaining good percolation of the two-phases for improved charge extraction.
In a recent study (referenced below) we developed a new small molecule organic semiconductor for use as a donor material in organic solar cells. These molecular donor materials are more easily purified than their more commonly used polymeric counterparts, which helps improve reproducibility. During the optimization of the device fabrication procedure we found that performance was affected by processing conditions; use of additives in the casting solvent or thermal treatment of the film both led to improvements in efficiency. Structural characterization via transmission electron microscopy and x-ray scattering revealed that it was crystallization of the donor material in the blend film which was paramount to device performance. By changing the solvent or thermal treatment we were able to manipulate this crystallization. In the optimum device, using a small amount of solvent additive, we were able to precisely control the size of the crystals, which led to a new record in efficiency of 7% for small molecule organic photovoltaic materials.
Figure 1: Organic Semiconductor Devices
Where We Are Headed
While organic solar is yet to achieve commercial relevance, record efficiencies have continued to improve over the last several years which make it a promising technology for the near future. Moving forward we will continue to develop new materials systems and processing methods, as well as expand to large-area printing methods to help bring this technology from bench top to roof top.

EIU Political Science Review Fall 2013
EIU Political Science Review
Fall 2013
Mariah Wallace - The Way of the Knife: The CIA, a Secret Army, and a War at the Ends of the Earth
The author offers her views and thoughts on Mazzetti's book and its implications for the future of American foreign policy.
Ashley Shula - Do Women Justices Matter?
In recent years, women have started to have a considerable impact on the political process. While literature exists on women in Congress and in district court settings, little research exists on the role played by female Supreme Court Justices. The author attempts to shed light on the impact of female justices by assessing statements made by the justices, in addition to their voting records. The author finds that the new women Supreme Court Justices have had little impact so far, but offers that perhaps as time goes on, this will change.
William Beltran - Jonestown, Paradise Lost: An Investigation of Jim Jones and the People's Temple
The author offers a fascinating, historical look at the life and actions of Jim Jones and his followers. Taking cues from throughout the troubled life of Jones, the author presents us with the harrowing details of how people can be corrupted, and the insatiable drive for power by the corrupters. Adding to the narrative, the author utilizes what other scholars have said about the Jonestown phenomenon.
Lindsey Juszczak - The Great Lakes Restoration Initiative: Cleaning Up Punctuated Equilibrium
The author uses the punctuated equilibrium model to assess the growth and continued path of the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative. The author illustrates not only how the model helps to understand the initiative, but how the variables pertaining to the initiative also provide a greater understanding of the model, and how to change it. The author concludes by addressing how the model could change to be more responsive.

The storm-hit Pacific Sun has finally set sail on its next cruise -- two days after it arrived back in port following an encounter with severe weather at sea.
The 47,262-ton, 1,486 passenger P&O Cruises Australia's Pacific Sun was battered by 23 feet swells and 50 knot winds while on its return to Auckland, New Zealand last Wednesday. More than 40 people required medical attention and some passengers compared the events to "like being in a disaster movie".
Following a Maritime New Zealand and P&O Cruises safety inspection the ship was given the all clear to sail this morning -- it eventually left Auckland at around 9 p.m. local time for its revised New Caledonia sailing.
New Zealand's TVNZ has reported that 60 passengers cancelled and received refunds for the rest of the trip and that those who chose to stay aboard will receive a 20 percent discount after two nights were cut from the voyage. All storm-affected passengers will be offered a 25 percent reduction on the price of a future cruise.

Storm-Tossed Ship Back at Sea
Storm-Tossed Ship Back at Sea
August 3, 2008

Update: We spoke with Jennifer Connors, a Chief Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Officer, who told us cruise lines are now required to give the CBP every ship's manifest (the list of all passengers and crewmembers onboard) one hour prior to departure. The CBP then checks the list for people with outstanding warrants and has the authority to arrest wanted persons. Given the short time span, the CBP might not be able to catch a suspicious person before the ship departs, especially if the person is traveling under an assumed name, as we believe happened in this recent case. However, the CBP can work with the ship's captain and officials at various foreign ports to detain an especially dangerous person before the ship returns to the U.S. Connors says that a cruise ship is not a very good way to flee the country because it is a controlled environment and cruise lines are very conscious of who's onboard.
(February 29, 2008) -- We know what you're thinking -- that cruise lines' obsession with interactive passenger-participation programs has reached new heights with onboard murder mystery parties or tournament-level games of Clue.
But this time it wasn't Colonel Mustard on the Lido Deck with a poisoned pina colada. It was the real deal.
Savvy sleuth Gene Sloan, USA Today's crack cruise blogger, nabbed the story (not the suspect) this morning. A high-speed chase across Google led him to a report from the U.S. Marshals Service describing a search for a wanted murder suspect.
The fellow, wanted by the Atlanta Police Department, had crossed state lines from Atlanta, Georgia, to Jacksonville, Florida, to board Carnival Celebration.
Whether it was a stylish getaway scheme -- or an effort to seek some relaxation on a Fun Ship after a rough few weeks -- who knows, though another article, this one in the Atlanta Journal Constitution, quotes an inspector for the U.S. Marshals Service as saying that the culprit definitely knew he was an, er, person of interest and so his cruise amounted to an attempt to flee.
The suspect, who according to the statement is Derron Williams, had racked up accusations of felony murder and aggravated assault with a weapon after events that took place on the morning of February 9. The police and the U.S. Marshals Service had tracked Williams from an AirTran flight from Atlanta to Jacksonville, Celebration's home port, to a hotel where his girlfriend was staying. The suspect, USA Today's Sloan reported, then boarded Carnival Celebration.
Atlanta police were hot on his trail though a step behind throughout each phase of Williams' trip. The ship set sail with Williams onboard but the cops got the tip they needed -- whether due to security measures or another source, we don't know. The Coast Guard was able to rendezvous with Celebration five miles outside of Jacksonville (and before the ship entered international water). Williams was arrested in his cabin without incident.
"Shortly after the cruise ship Celebration departed the Port of Jacksonville on Thursday, February 28," says a Carnival Cruise Lines statement, "the ship was contacted by the Jacksonville Sheriff's Department regarding a wanted suspect in an alleged crime who was among the vessel's passengers. The ship's command made arrangements to rendezvous with a U.S. Coast Guard cutter once the vessel reached the end of the channel. The two vessels met at the agreed upon location at which point various law enforcement agency personnel boarded the ship and took the suspect into custody. He was subsequently transferred to the Coast Guard cutter."
So much for a Bahamian cruise vacation for the suspect. But there is still one major question that's gone unanswered: Did Derron Williams really think that a cruise ship would make a decent getaway vehicle? Or do you think he just wanted a little "me" time?
Vote here and tell us what you think.
All joking aside, this episode raises another and definitely more serious question:
Why didn't U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials identify Williams and arrest him prior to the ship's departure? All ships are required to give the CBP the ship's manifest prior to sailing so the agency can screen the passenger list -- the main reason why, in the U.S., you can't book a day-of cruise anymore. What do the authorities do with this list, if not look for criminal suspects and wanted villains and prevent them from boarding? Does this system actually work to keep cruise passengers safe, or is it another case of official-seeming procedures taking the place of real security measures?
We'd like to hear your opinions on this important security issue. We'll be taking a closer look at the topic next week so stay tuned.
Editor's note: We recently learned from Carnival that Williams did book his cruise prior to the alleged assault. However, it's still not clear if he intended his cruise to be a vacation...or a conveniently pre-planned way to flee the country.

The endothelium holds a pivotal role in cardiovascular health and disease. Assessment of its function was until recently limited to experimental designs due to its location. The advent of novel techniques has facilitated testing on a more detailed basis, with focus on distinct pathways. This review presents available in-vivo and ex-vivo methods for evaluating endothelial function with special focus on more recent ones. The diagnostic modalities covered include assessment of epicardial and microvascular coronary endothelial function, local vasodilation by venous occlusion plethysmography and flow-mediated dilatation, arterial pulse wave analysis and pulse amplitude tonometry, microvascular blood flow by laser Doppler flowmetry, biochemical markers and bioassays, measurement of endothelial-derived microparticles and progenitor cells, and glycocalyx measurements. Insights and practical information on the theoretical basis, methodological aspects, and clinical application in various disease states are discussed. The ability of these methods to detect endothelial dysfunction before overt cardiovascular disease manifests make them attractive clinical tools for prevention and rehabilitation.

There's no way around it—visiting Fiji in cyclone season can be a bit of a gamble. Since the Southern Pacific cyclone season runs from November through the end of April, any visit between this time could potentially involve a cyclone. In 2012, Cyclone Evan ripped through Fiji and left widespread disaster in its wake, and every year can bring strong storms and potentially heavy rains.

Taking Ferries in Fiji
Seeing as Fiji has over 300 islands (about 100 of which are inhabited), it's common for people to get around by taking ferries in Fiji. While locals often use the ferries for cargo or budget transport, visitors who plan on island hopping in Fiji can use the ferries to experience different islands in the archipelago. The Yasawas, for example, are completely different than Ovalau or the remote shores of Kadavu, and ferries are often more affordable than inter island flights from Nadi.

Summer in Fiji
Because it's in the southern hemisphere, summer in Fiji refers to the months of December, January, and February. While the word "summer" usually conjures images hordes of people on holiday, the summer months are actually one of the slower seasons in Fiji. Though the temperature in Fiji is always a a tropical 75-85°, the heat in the summer is just a bit more stifling and noticeably more pronounced. The humidity rises during the summer months, and don't be surprised if you constantly have the urge to splash and cool off in the water.

Where to Watch Rugby in Fiji
Even though snorkeling, surfing, scuba diving, and hiking are some of the most popular activities in Fiji, local Fijians who inhabit the islands are completely consumed by rugby.
Rugby is Fiji's national sport, and despite the nation's low population, the Fijian team is regularly considered as one of the best rugby groups in the world. Players from every corner of the archipelago—from the lush villages of Taveuni to the shores of rural Kadavu—dream of one day representing Fiji on the international stage. There are over 600 rugby clubs located in Fiji, and the nation has the world's highest percentage of population that officially competes in rugby.

Romantic Islands in Fiji
Palm trees rustling gently in the breeze, a candlelit dinner on a white sand beach, and a thatched-roof bure with room for two—it's the classic image of South Pacific romance that the Fijian islands are known for. With over 300 islands to choose from, however, doing research for a romantic getaway can start to become overwhelming. Budget—of course—is always a factor, but some island's ooze romance for their luxury and privacy and others for their natural surroundings. For honeymooners planning a South Pacific getaway, or couples who just needing an alone-time escape, the following are some of the most romantic islands in Fiji for fostering and kindling your love.

Day Trips From Nadi
At some point, most people who are traveling to Fiji will make a stop in Nadi. The city is the site of the international airport, and if it isn't your final destination, there is a real good chance you're swinging through here while en route to someplace else. Nadi itself has somewhat of a reputation […]

Rainy Day Activities in Nadi
The Fijian islands are a tropical paradise where sun, surf, ocean, and heat form the backbone of a South Pacific getaway. Sit in the shade of a rustling palm, snorkel above vibrant and colorful reefs, and work on a tan you'll bring back home as a temporary souvenir.

Experiencing Fijian Culture in Kadavu
On a guided trek into the lush interior, you have a good chance of spotting four species of bird which are endemic to the island of Kadavu, including the colorful Kadavu Musk Parrot which is found nowhere else in the world. Learn the ways that local villagers are working to stave off development, and enjoy the benefits of staying on an island that the rest of the world hasn't found. Kick back, unplug, and leave modernity behind for a while. You'll be surprised how much you might like it.

Bula Festival
Bula! That's the cry you're bound to hear wherever you go in Fiji. More than just being the Fijian word for "Hello", the word "Bula" has come to symbolize the friendliness of the Fijian people who will always greet you with a big smile and a jovial wave of the hand.

Where to go Shopping in Nadi
As one of the nation's principal cities and the site of the international airport, the commerce in Nadi is far superior to anywhere else in the country. In fact, people wondering where to go shopping in Nadi is one of the most oft-asked questions of the city, although there are really only a couple of places where you should head for your retail therapy.

Filming may have already begun on Star Wars: Episode VII, but other than a couple of unconfirmed rumors nothing in regards to the cast has been announced. Disney exec Alan Horn admitted that, while it's been difficult, some casting has been completed. Speculation is on Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill, and Carrie Fisher are all expected back in their familiar roles, and now another of the old guard is set to return.
After rumors surfaced some weeks ago that Peter Mayhew would reprise the role of everyone's favorite Wookie, Chewbacca, THR brings confirmation he will again don the furry suit. Since it's impossible to have Chewie without Han Solo, the chances of Ford having already signed on are pretty good. Adam Driver appears to be locked in as a villain, while John Boyega, Lupita Nyong'o, Ed Speelers, Benedict Cumberbatch, and many more have been speculated for parts in the film.
J.J. Abrams is directing Star Wars: Episode VII for release on December 18th 2015.

The Confucius Institute may be a program that you're not too familiar with, but the students of Western iMedia are hoping to change all that by bringing you the story in a non-traditional manner.
"We're always looking for stories that need to be told in multiple dimensions and multiple facets to be interesting, to be successful. Simple stories don't really tax our efforts." said Kerry Northrup, who heads the class.
The class has partnered with a company in Amsterdam that specializes in augmented reality so that once it's finished, their story can be presented in a way like you've never seen before.
"the technology is based for an app on your smart phone. You can use an app called "Layar", and then you hold it up to some kind of poster or some kind of trigger point and then it interacts with you. So if i held my phone up to a poster I'd be able to watch some videos and click on some links and vote on some polls just from my phone." added Ryan Vennell who works for Western iMedia.
The goal of the course is to push the limits of journalism and develop new ways to tell a story rather than the traditional route, due to the changing landscape of the field.
"Journalists skills are more in demand now then they ever were. If a parent comes up to me and says "Why should my kid major in journalism?" Take a look at what's happening with TV audiences and newspapers. I say those journalistic skills have kind of been detached from only occurring in those media." added Northrup.
From traveling, to working, with companies across the world to exploring new technology, it's safe to say that this group is upping the expectations of a traditional classroom.
"It's just an outstanding opportunity that probably helps make this journalism school what it is, and that's why we're one of the better journalism schools in the country." added Vennell.
"I don't want to think little, I don't want the people I work with to think little. We should think large, we should think big. If the stories we can do can have a global audience, which they can,
then let's go for that global audience." commented Northrup.

War and Peace
by Leo Tolstoy
War and Peace Volume 3, Part 2, Chapter 33 Summary
- Here's a good sense of how battle took place in the 19th century. The main action is happening about a mile and a half from where Napoleon is. He's facing the sun. Seeing something a mile and a half away, covered in smoke, with the sun in your eyes is probably beyond even the best eagle eyes out there, telescope or no.
- Which means Napoleon can't see what's happening or how his troops are doing.
- Sure, messengers are bringing reports from the field – but this also doesn't help much because 1) by the time these guys make it to his tent, their news is outdated; and 2) half the reports are just flat-out wrong or third-hand information.
- Napoleon is giving orders, but so are generals and other officers. All of these orders contradict each other, of course, and half of them can't be followed.
- The infantry moves this way and that, but the battle is won and lost through the cannon fire and bullets, not hand-to-hand combat.

The Beach Blanket Bingo One Piece Swimsuit ($90) is perfect for the plus-size girl who's into vibrant colors and vintage styles. Flaunt what you've got in this Esther Williams suit that features lowcut legs, a high-waisted bottom and a classic halter neck.
Can I just say that I actually own this suit? In black and white polka dots. The price is worthwhile, it's a sturdy material. I felt like the bust runs a bit big though, even though I am large chested. I think it's because of the halter, I get a bit of gape in the cleavage area. Also, buying directly from Esther William's site will get you a better price: http://esther-williams.com/proddetail.php?prod=Classic_Sheath_Plus_Sizes

This is Your Doctor Speaking: Move Your Feet
May 28, 2008
"Often referred to as the secondary heart, the calf muscle pump has the extremely important function of pumping blood back to the heart."
According to the AHA, walking will increase the blood circulation and help reduce the risk for DVT. Ability for disable people to walk, for people sitting during long office meetings, on airplanes, etc. is, however, limited. A just-released foot-pedal called StepItTM allows these people to increase blood circulation in their lower legs without leaving their seats. A toe down and heel up movement on the pocked-sized device will help those seated for any extended periods of time to maintain adequate blood circulation.
Clinical research has shown that these two movements are most effective to activate the calf muscle pump in the lower leg. Often referred to as the secondary heart, the calf muscle pump has the extremely important function of pumping blood back to the heart. Every time a leg stops moving, the calf muscle pump shuts down and the blood circulation decreases dramatically.
Developed by Swedish professor Christer Busch, M.D., Ph. D. of Uppsala University Hospital in Sweden, StepItTM is marketed in the United States by Stepit.com, LLC.
While air travelers are certain to benefit from using Step-ItTM, the foot-pedal is beneficial to many other groups at risk. "Many leg problems are caused by poor blood circulation, often resulting from immobility, said Gunnar Hedqwist, President of StepIt.com, LLC. "StepItTM has proven especially beneficial to office workers, elderly and disabled, diabetes patients, overweight individuals and for those who are bed- and wheelchair bound, he added."
Please visit www.stepit.com or call 1-877-478-3748 or cell 727 656 0095 for more information.

Joe (Ryan Kwanten) has broken up with his girlfriend Beth (Margarita Levieva) and he feels miserable. His friends come by and take him to the woods. They are going to go medieval on him, literally. They belong to a group who do medieval times reenactment . Sort of like dungeons and dragons gone nuts. Ronnie (Jimmi Simpson) is the leader of the group and does not care for Joe.
They are all out in the woods to do certain challenges to gain favor and prestige among their piers. Eric (Steve Zahn) conjures up an evil creature that starts to take the group one by one. Eric has used a 17th century sorcerers book and to be honest he really has no idea what he is doing, but man he does bring something terrible up from Hell. Here's the kicker it looks like Beth and for Joe to kill the beast he thinks he is killing Beth.
Now this could be a good thing. You see while out in the woods Joe runs across another character actor by the name of Gwen (Summer Glau). Joe becomes very infatuated with Gwen and does feel an attraction.
Fantasy and reality become inter-mixed on the Fields of Evermore for the confrontation of a lifetime. Now you have to understand that for the most part these people are using foam swords but for them to kill the beast it is going to take much more. Are they up for the task?
Eone is bringing this fantasy-reality action packed DVD to us on April 1, 2014. The quality of the sound and visual are the best. You can't ask for a more interesting and beautifully done piece of work.
This is one DVD that will fit perfectly in that library for it is entertaining and enjoyable to watch. So don't waste any time and pick one up this week and enjoy that mix of reality and fantasy as worlds collide.

Alaska e-Post online
Just one of the many free services available through Buckner
Sharon McBride
Fort Richardson PAO
I just want to start out by saying I haven't done pushups in more than a year.
I hate pushups. After I got out of the Army, I swore I would never do them again.
I also hate running.
But sadly, that's the only thing helping me keep my weight down. So, after exiting the Army in December 2006, running is the only thing I kept doing exercise wise, that is until life got in the way.
By life, I mean work.
Most civilian bosses really don't care how fast you can run two miles, so as a consequence, being fit really doesn't matter.
In a lot of ways, I found this kind of nice, because as a Soldier, I never really ran well. It didn't matter if I worked hard at it or the type of training I did, I had one speed – slow.
Even the guy who smoked two packs a day, drank like a fish and never ran unless he was being graded always did better than me.
You know the guy I'm talking about.
There's always one Soldier in every unit who manages to avoid company PT sessions at all costs, but always ends up doing really well on the PT test.
No one really knows for sure how he does it, but he's always thin, fit and runs like the wind.
By the way, I intensely dislike those guys too.
Eventually, I started gaining weight.
Which really shouldn't be surprising, since most people do gain weight when they work 50 to 60 hours a week, eat nothing but junk food, go to school, take care of a house, take care of a child, sleep, commute two hours, do homework, and never really seem to have time to workout.
But that's all about to change.
I decided to participate in the free Weight Loss Boot Camp put on by the fitness specialists who work at Fort Richardson's Buckner Physical Fitness Center.
The six-week program is offered outside for three days a week, rain or shine.
To date, more than 170 people have signed up for it.
Anyone 12 and older who has a Department of Defense identification card and access to BPFC can participate.
Monday was the first day.
We did pushups. We did squats. We did situps. We ran.
They timed us during each of the events and told us to do as many repetitions as we could. The run was timed. I felt like I was in the Army again…well almost.
I did modified pushups because of an old, nagging back injury, did a lame amount of situps, and I thought I was going to die on the run.
So as I traverse through the next six weeks of the program, I will write a weekly article in the Alaska Post to keep everyone updated not only on my progress, but everyone else's in the class too.
However, I won't name anyone in class by name, unless of course their results are so phenomenal they want me to.
So far people of every shape, size and fitness level have signed up for the program, which is designed to make everyone improve no matter what their current fitness level is. And judging from the excited chatter around me on Monday, most expect this program to deliver.
The instructors, Dan Kehlenbach, Linda Neely and Al Alston, have put together a great "boot camp" program that rivals those available through gyms and fitness centers downtown that cost hundreds of dollars.
Did I mention BPFC's program is completely free?
And despite the first day, which will be used as a starting point assessment for everyone, the program will not be the same old boring exercises most of us fall into out of habit.
No daily dozen set of pushups, situps and running for me.
The instructors plan on mixing it up, by incorporating items like agility ladders, agility rings, weighted kettle bells, hurdles, cones and tubing.
What exactly are these items and what does using each of them entail?
I don't know. I promise to write about it in future articles.
The cool thing is, after this six-week program is over, all those items will be available to checkout for free at the BPFC front counter.
Each hour-long session will consist of three parts: warm-up, cardio and flexibility improvement. All the classes are designed to progress on a weekly basis and promise to engage the entire body and its systems to improve agility, coordination, strength and cardio, Kehlenbach said.
"It will be an action-packed hour," Kehlenbach said. "It will be fun and it will go by fast."
The other cool thing about this program, besides being completely free, is the instructors always demonstrate a modified example of how to perform each exercise to accommodate for injuries (both current and old) or for different levels of individual fitness.
At all times, everyone is encouraged to exercise at his or her own level, and not to "compete."
"It's our goal to make sure everyone will get something from this program," Kehlenbach said. "But we want everyone to be safe while doing it and workout to their own comfort level."
Depending on the success of this initial program, and using feedback given by those who participate, more programs tailored to mirror those offered by off-post gyms and fitness centers for hundreds of dollars will be added to the BPFC schedule, explained Neely.
"We want to put together a comprehensive program that rivals what is offered off-post," she said.
Sounds good to me; saving money while improving my fitness, weight and health while getting to write about it?
Sometimes I really like my job.

As of today, Amazon.com and GameFly both changed the release date of Konami's Silent Hill: Book of Memories from (this Tuesday) to May 31, 2012 .The horror title was originally supposed to be a launch title for the PS Vita, but has since been delayed twice. This shouldn't be too surprising considering how many times Silent Hill HD Collection and Silent Hill: Downpour were delayed, but it does mean that March will not let gamers visit the iconic town three times in a row.
The Vita title will be the first shooter title in the horror franchise and has some long-time fans of the series scratching their heads over the odd design choice. Silent Hill: Book of Memories will feature a top-down display and will allow gamers to play as one of the iconic main characters from the series (James and Heather were featured rather prominently last year at E3). The "story" of the game will feature many key and memorable moments from the entire franchise as gamers attempt to rewrite their "Book of Memories," which means that certain key events may be rewritten. And yes, Pyramid Head and the Nurses will make appearances. Often, I'm sure.
The Resident Evil franchise recently tried to reinvent itself as an online shooter with less than stellar results. Here is hoping that Konami is able to pull off this title which has, admittedly, decent potential. The real test will be how well the PS Vita touch features are integrated into the gameplay.

Calling all coffee lovers! There's a new Starbucks coupon to print. Buy one featured drink and get another free! Featured drinks include Hot Chocolate, Caffè Mocha and Vanilla Spice Latte. There is a limit of one coupon per person, and the offer is valid through 2/14. Share the love with someone special, or just treat yourself!
4 thoughts on "Starbucks Coupon—Buy One Get One Free!"
Be aware that the coupon is for after 2pm and says participating stores. I called and it should be good at any stand alone location (usually not the licensed locations inside places like Target).
Good to know! I didn't see the time restriction on the coupon, so I'm glad for the heads-up.
can the $5 gift card received for free a few weeks ago, be used for the purchase?
I have used my gift card along with a starbucks coupon code and it worked just fine!

Dance is a great way to increase physical and mental health. For many people winter brings not only cold and gloomy weather but a gloomy outlook as well. The consequences of holiday eating and spending are now showing on the scale and credit card statements, people are not socializing like they did during the holiday season and boredom is setting in. These things can add up to winter blues.
A fantastic way to combat winter blues is dance. Dancing is a great way to exercise and refocus your thoughts, creating both a physical and mental outlet. When you are learning a new dance move or combination, or just dancing to your favorite song your mind is focused on the task at hand and not on the problems of the day. When you allow yourself to fully engage in your dance activity your pulse rate is increased burning calories and releasing endorphins resulting in sense of happiness and well being.
By taking dance into a group setting such as a dance class you have the added benefit of meeting new people and forming friendships based on a common interest. So, if you suffering from the winter blues, need to get into shape or just want to make some new friends, get out and dance.
To help you find a place to dance the Macon Dancing Examiner will feature a different local dance studio, instructor or venue weekly. If you have questions, suggestions or would like to be included please leave a comment or email me. firstname.lastname@example.com
