North Bay, Fl-- The snow storm in the Northeast is affecting airline travel all over the country, including here in Bay County.
The one word you never want to hear during holiday travel, "delayed", but according to Deputy Executive Director at NWF Beaches Airport, it's one you may have to expect,
"Theres a large snow storm, winter storm moving across the country. Anytime that happens, there is going to be delayed flights due to connections, due to the ability to get runways cleared, everything like that and it has an impact on the whole natioanal aviation system."
McClellan also has some sound advice for the more seasonal travelers.
"Be prepared, pack your patience and understand that there may be delays and even though you may be going from here to atlanta and there is no weather, that airplane could be coming from somehwere else where there is a delay."
So if you are a victim of a delayed flight, there is some good news according to McClellan,
"You know most of these things are a one day delay. As we saw yesterday there were a significant number of flights delayed in Chicago. That storm is moving east and is moving up the northeast now. So chicago is back to normal and it's a day later. So it's not going to be a long time but be patient. That's all i can say."
There have been over twenty five hundred flight delays natinwide in the past two days.

Diversity will do Seahawks plenty of good
Offense seeks new ways to make impact
Published: Friday, December 7, 2012 at 2:44 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, December 7, 2012 at 2:44 p.m.
Pleased after a 15-point win over Coker College on Wednesday night, UNCW guard Tanner Milson leaned over the microphone sitting on the table in front of him during the postgame press conference and said, "Hi, I'm Keith Rendleman."
UNCW (4-4) at Georgia Tech (5-2)
When: 7 p.m., Saturday
Where: McCamish Pavilion (8,600), Atlanta
TV / Radio: ESPN3 / 104.5 FM
Hawk Talk: Seahawks seek first road victory in fifth try, and it won't be easy against a Georgia Tech squad expected to finish in the middle of the pack in the ACC. The Yellow Jackets have been, like the Seahawks, a strong defensive team, holding opponents to 37.9 percent field goal shooting and 55.2 points per game – also exactly what UNCW scores per night. Freshman guard Marcus Georges-Hunt leads Ga. Tech in scoring (12.0 ppg). Expect a slow-paced game. Both teams are deliberate.
Rendleman, sitting beside him, retorted, "You wish."
It was banter between two upperclassmen who are close friends, and still envision a promising season. While no one is going to confuse one for the other, being more like Rendleman is a worthwhile aspiration for Milson, and all of the Seahawks. It's the key to unlock success.
Through eight games in this season and throughout a prolific career, their All-CAA teammate has been consistent and efficient at putting the ball into the basket.
On this team, that makes him stand alone. On the court, that makes him draw attention from two or three opposing players. And, in turn, makes his job harder. Rendleman is used to the coverage and still managed double figures in all but one game this season.
But without scoring help from his teammates, the Seahawks have no shot at a fulfilling season.
Entering tonight's game at Georgia Tech, Rendleman leads the team with 15.9 points per game, double what Milson averages (7.9). Rendleman shoots 55.3 percent, fourth in the CAA. The next best UNCW regular is Cedrick Williams, at 42.6 percent on 38 fewer attempts than Rendleman. Seahawks other than Rendleman have combined for eight double-figure scoring games.
"I have full confidence in everyone else knocking down shots and making plays," Rendleman said. "Just dribble out (of the double team) and look for the rest of my teammates."
The UNCW halfcourt offense has been stagnant more than it's been fluid this season. Defenders sag around Rendleman and the rest of the Seahawks stand around and watch, easy to defend.
"People are swarming Keith inside, we've got to make them pay for it," UNCW coach Buzz Peterson said. "I'd like to see us space out a little. We've got a tendency to soak in a little bit, maybe we think he's going to put it up, or whatever. We've got to be able to hit the outside shot."
The Seahawks are shooting 26.4 percent on 3-point shots, 321st in the nation out of 347 teams.
Because scoring off set plays in the halfcourt has been difficult, Peterson is begging for his team to create more transition scoring chances. He wants at least five such baskets per game.
Milson agrees that playing loose and free with confidence is the key to better production in the halfcourt and on the break. Experience playing together should build chemistry – six of the eight players who received double-figure minutes vs. Coker are in their first or second year in the program.
Milson pictures a lineup where the Seahawks can attack at any position one through five each game, depending on which player enjoys the mismatch.
That seems a long way off. And time is of the essence.
"I just know we've got to get it together if we want to play well in the CAA," Milson said.

Head Coach Ruffin McNeill talked about the 2010 recruiting class Wednesday.
Feb. 3, 2010
Opening Statement
"It's a great day to be a Pirate. The same excitement and enthusiasm I had when Coach Holland and the committee announced me to lead the program are what I feel today. This afternoon when I saw that last fax come across the machine was an awesome feeling.
"The special thing about it was going into these young men's homes last week and meeting with their parents. They each gave us, including everybody at the university, the administrators and the Pirate Nation, their word they would be attending. They held true to their word and I'm excited to get them here. I can't wait to start getting them here and meeting with our current players. I'm looking forward to getting them around our family here in the summer, too. They were equally excited about getting here.
"It has been a great day. We're getting ready to finish this recruiting off today and then really dive into our current players who are here now."
On The Balance Of This Year's Class
"They [the previous coaching staff had] already had a list of 2010 commits. The first night after Coach Holland and the committee named me as head coach, I got on the phone with the players and their parents.
"The list was really built to fill our needs. We lost a lot of players from last year's championship team. These guys were recruited to fit those needs. I'm very pleased with the balance, especially among the offensive and defensive linemen.
"The positions that we really have to key on in recruiting now are duel-threat players who can be offensively or defensively productive in the systems we will now implement here. We want a guy who is a quarterback and might also be able to help us at wide receiver, which is what Michael Crabtree, who we had at Texas Tech, did.
"I'm very pleased with the dual capabilities of a lot of these signees. I'm very happy with that balance."
On The Recruiting Process
"After I met with Coach Holland, I had two priorities. First was to meet with the current players. Second was to call the commits. We got them on the phone and talked to the parents and eased their minds a little bit.
"My next goal was to get in everyone's home. That was the hard part, but it was fun. I caught a lot of planes, rental cars and taxis while staying in a lot of hotels. I also ate a lot of lunches. Everybody seemed to want to feed me. Everybody was very courteous to me.
"Probably the scariest thing was one day trying to remember what state and city I was in. I called Coach Holland that day and told him I forgot where I was. Still, it was a fun challenge. It was a whirlwind, but I knew what to expect having been around it for a little bit. Every home was receptive and every kid was excited. That made the trips a lot easier."
On The Reaction Of The Recruits
"They were excited. At first I would say we were happy to see one another, but then there was that feeling-out process. I tried to make sure I provided a comfort level for them. I explained who I was and that I was honored to have the chance to be an ambassador for this great university. I wanted them to know that it's an 'us' and 'we' thing. I made sure that each home understood that.
"Once we established that with each home, family member and parental group, the conversations just took off. I told them what I believed it and the process we'll take academically here. I also talked about my philosophy of service and asking what can we do to make East Carolina better today. That was very important. I know the parents appreciated that.
"The next thing the recruit wanted to know, if he was on offense, was what the philosophy would be. That's when the excitement, even in the offensive linemen, picked up. Defensively, we'll attack. I know the offense gets a lot of the publicity, but we've got some special guys on the defensive side of the ball, too. The defensive recruits were excited about the systems as well.
"The third thing that people sometimes forget about is special teams. We want to be attacking in that phase, too.
"The conversations went from philosophies and academics to my beliefs and visions for the team and then to what we wanted to accomplish on offense, defense and special teams."
On Selling East Carolina To Recruits
"I've been coaching 29 total years, five in high school and 24 in college. I've been a part of the lives of about 3,000 college football players. I've been in a lot of homes. There is probably not a state I have not had to go into.
"This last week was the most comfortable delivery that I could ever possibly have. I was selling my alma mater. I have the opportunity and chance to be an ambassador for this university. I take that responsibility really seriously. It was easy to sell this university because this is my school, too.
"Going into the homes, I was selling something that I could speak about in terms of degrees and playing football. I could tell the recruit I've been on that side of the fence and this side of the fence. It was an easy pitch, straight from the heart and what I believe in. It was the easiest time, by far, I've ever had going into a recruit's home. It was fun."
On Differences Between These Recruits And Those At Texas Tech
"I love the bunch we have here. At Texas Tech, we did a similar job of making sure we fit our needs. It takes a team to make a team. There is a certain guy in this offense who we need at the X, Y, H and Z positions. But I like these guys we have to fit our offense.
"Defensively, we'll need a lot of athleticism because we want to do a lot of pressuring. The same is true of special teams.
"Comparing the recruits is very similar to Texas Tech. Offensively, we fit the mold and defensively, I know what we need. We have those guys on defense who fit the rangy, athletic, change-of-direction and play-making mold.
"I'm very pleased with the athleticism and balance of this group. I challenged them all to prepare to start. There is no entitlement here. Nobody is entitled to anything. We're not predetermining redshirts here at all. I told each home and family that. We'll evaluate where we are after the spring, but I asked them to prepare to come in to start and play. I mean that. I was very pleased."
On Recruiting With Donnie Kirkpatrick
"Donnie is a good driver who knows his way around North Carolina. We've always known each other. We've been adversaries on the field many times.
"Riding around with him was excellent. We had a chance to get into a ton of high schools looking for juniors next year, too. We got to know each other very well."
On Which Recruits He Expects Could Make An Impact Next Season
"With many football teams, not just with our offense and defense, offensive linemen will need the maturation process the most. They need the weight room, scout team and demonstration team. Every once in a while you get a freshman who can contribute early at that position. You don't want to predetermine redshirts, but normally that position requires some developing. I know some guys in this class have the size and athleticism, but that'll be determined when we get them on campus.
"The athletic guys in the group, as with any program, tend to have a chance to contribute pretty early. I'm anticipating some of those guys being able to do some things on offense, defense or special teams. We'll make sure we're smart in choosing those guys and make sure they can be very productive for us."
On Dominique Davis
"As you know we had a junior college quarterback sign a national-letter-of-intent in December. The NLI was for the spring of 2010. The quarterback did not enroll at East Carolina for this spring semester. As a result, the NLI is null and void. The quarterback is now considered a recruit. With that said, NCAA regulations prohibit any further discussions or comments about this young man."
On Making It To Each Recruit's House
"I made it to every single home, except for the guys who are already here and enrolled. Desi Brown was a North Carolinian who moved to Missouri. I was not able to make it to his home, but John Wiley and Brian Mitchell did make it to his home."
On Having Seven Early Enrollees
"It's a big boost. It gives them a jump. They've already gone through some of the off-season process with [Director of Strength and Conditioning] Coach Mike Golden. They have been a part of the group learning their way around campus, finding the bookstore and other little things that we don't think about. I think the adjustment period for those guys will be beneficial. I'm anxious to see those guys as they prepare for spring practice."
On Wanting To Get All The Recruits
"I went in thinking that I needed to reel in all of them. From that Monday morning to getting snowed in at Maryland Saturday, I wanted to get all of them. I knew all of them were very important.
"Coming in like we did with 10 days, there was not much time to evaluate. We got a quarterback in that we had some previous knowledge of. We also got Lamar Ivey in from Eastern Alamance. It was a whirlwind, but I wanted to reel all of them in."
On Next Year's Quarterback
"I'm still evaluating everything. We have not been on the field with them. We're ready to see how they react here when we start spring practice. A lot of things are going to have to be done on the field. That is an important position and we know that. The guys who are here now understand that it's a wide open job. It is not predetermined. There is no entitlement. What I really want to do is make judgments on the field.
"The biggest thing to me is what's on tape. I don't really want to know what somebody told me he can do. I'm ready to watch him on the film and on the field. Once we do that, then we'll make the evaluation on who should play there. That's a position Lincoln Riley and his staff are really looking at and evaluating now."
On His Coaching Philosophy
"I watch games from the defensive point of view. I see what the opponent's defense is doing. I don't bother Lincoln. I see what the defense is doing. I knew they weren't ready for a few of those plays.
"I made all fourth down calls and all time out decisions, just like I will here. I'll be the only one who speaks to officials here, too. Going into that game [Texas Tech's Alamo Bowl], we had a plan. I told Lincoln before to have some plays ready. We had a thought process lined out. We'll do the same thing here."
On Coaching At East Carolina
"I love the kids here, they're awesome. We're not coming into a program we have to build. Those kids know how to win. You watch them work in that weight room. The group of men really pushes themselves to the limit. That makes it easy.
"There will be some things we change in personnel philosophies, but they players are ready to make that move. We've had some discussions the last couple days and have gotten to know each other a little bit better.
"It's a great feeling to be here. I said the first day I feel blessed. I know I'm blessed to be here. I'll do the best job I can each day to make East Carolina better. The coaches I bring in will think the same way. Everybody who has been assigned to me will think the same way. That is not negotiable. There are certain things that are up for discussion, but that thought process is not one of them.
"Right now the guys are meeting academically and making sure everybody is on the same page. That's part of the process, too. They are doing their due diligence.
"To me, it's the greatest feeling I've ever had. I'm so proud to be here. I take my responsibility very seriously. It's a `we' deal here and it'll always be that way as long as I'm here."

Feb. 7, 2014
There are several promotions in place for the tennis season, with both matches this weekend included. Saturday is Big Al's Kids' Club Day that will include Big Al being on site for photo as well as a post-match hit-around with the Alabama players. On Sunday, Hampton Inn will provide a complimentary breakfast for all fans in attendance.
Alabama returns home after playing the last two weeks on the road in California and Texas. The Tide is 3-0 thus far in Tuscaloosa after having swept its tripleheader on Jan. 18. Sophomore Becker O'Shaughnessey leads Alabama in singles wins during the dual match season thus far, posting a 4-1 record from the No. 2 spot. As a team, the Tide has won the doubles point in four of the six matches.
Oklahoma State is coming off one of its biggest wins in years, knocking off No. 6 Tennessee, 4-2, to remain undefeated. The Cowboys are also off to their best start since 1998, and jumped 21 spots in the ITA team rankings this week, coming in just outside the top 25. Leading the way on court one in singles for Oklahoma State is junior Jakob Sude, who is 2-0, with two matches left unfinished, while the doubles team of senior Matt Campbell and Sude also stand at 2-0 from the top position.
Oklahoma has been ranked in the top 10 all season long and continues to climb with each week. The Sooners have only given up one point all season long, which came in a 4-1 win against Virginia Tech at ITA Kick-Off Weekend. Oklahoma is loaded with nationally-ranked talent, including the No. 5 and No. 6 singles players in senior Guillermo Alcorta and sophomore Axel Alvarez Llamas. The Sooners also have two doubles teams in the top 25, with the duos of freshman Andrew Harris and junior Dane Webb currently ranked No. 18, and the team of junior Nick Papac and Alvarez Llamas ranked No. 25.
Alabama is 0-1 all-time versus Oklahoma State, however the two teams have not met since the 1982 season. The Tide leads the series with Oklahoma, 3-1, with the last meeting coming in 2010.

NANDA Definition: Insufficient physiological or psychological energy to endure or complete required or desired daily activities
Most activity intolerance is related to generalized weakness and debilitation secondary to acute or chronic illness and disease. This is especially apparent in elderly patients with a history of orthopedic, cardiopulmonary, diabetic, or pulmonary- related problems. The aging process itself causes reduction in muscle strength and function, which can impair the ability to maintain activity.
Activity intolerance may also be related to factors such as obesity, malnourishment, side effects of medications (e.g., Beta-blockers), or emotional states such as depression or lack of confidence to exert one's self. Nursing goals are to reduce the effects of inactivity, promote optimal physical activity, and assist the patient to maintain a satisfactory lifestyle.
Defining Characteristics
- Verbal report of fatigue or weakness
- Inability to begin or perform activity
- Abnormal heart rate or blood pressure (BP) response to activity
- Exertional discomfort or dyspnea
Related Factors
- Generalized weakness
- Deconditioned state
- Sedentary lifestyle
- Insufficient sleep or rest periods
- Depression or lack of motivation
- Prolonged bed rest
- Imposed activity restriction
- Imbalance between oxygen supply and demand
- Pain
- Side effects of medications
Expected Outcomes
- Patient maintains activity level within capabilities, as evidenced by normal heart rate and blood pressure during activity, as well as absence of shortness of breath, weakness, and fatigue.
- Patient verbalizes and uses energy-conservation techniques.
NOC Outcomes (Nursing Outcomes Classification)
Suggested NOC Labels
- Activity Tolerance
- Energy Conservation
- Knowledge: Treatment Regimen
NIC Interventions (Nursing Interventions Classification)
Suggested NIC Labels
- Energy Management
- Teaching: Prescribed Activity/Exercise
Nursing Goal

Professional organizations advocate universal access to medical care as a primary approach to improving health in the population.Access to medical services is critical to outcomes of acute processes managed in an inpatient hospital, the setting of most medical education, research, and training, but seems to be limited in its capacity to affect outcomes of outpatient care, the setting of most medical activities. Persistent and widening disparities in health according to socioeconomic status provide evidence of limitations of access to care. First, job classification, a measure of socioeconomic status, was a better predictor of cardiovascular death than cholesterol level, blood pressure, and smoking combined in employed London civil servants with universal access to the National Health Service. Second, disparities in health according to socioeconomic status widened between 1970 and 1980 in the United Kingdom despite universal access (similar trends were seen in the United States). Third, in the United States, noncompletion of high school is a greater risk factor than biological factors for development of many diseases, an association that is explained only in part by age, ethnicity, sex, or smoking status. Fourth, level of formal education predicted cardiovascular mortality better than random assignment to active drug or placebo over 3 years in a clinical trial that provides optimal access to care. Increased recognition of limitations of universal access by physicians and their professional societies may enhance efforts to improve the health of the population.
Mortality rate over 7.5 years from coronary heart disease (CHD) in 17 530 London civil servants according to type of employment at study entry.

Mastering the Art of Fabric Printing and Design, released by Chronicle Books, is by Laurie Wisbrun who you most likely know already as the designer behind such lines as Modern Whimsy, Pooches and Pickups, Tufted Tweets and many more. She began designing and printing her fabric using Spoonflower. She was quickly picked up by Robert Kaufman and since then her popularity has continued to grow with each new fabric line she releases.
In this book she shares valuable information about designing fabric patterns, printing techniques and even tips on how to break into the fabric industry. It is a lovely hardback book with a spacious layout so it is easy to digest the different chunks of information.
The book is also packed with interviews with some top fabric designers including such names as Heather Ross, Julia Rothman, Josephine Kimberling and many many more.
The book is divided into 3 sections: Designing for Fabric, Fabrics and Fabric Printing Methods, and the Fabric Business.
The first section is all about understanding fabric patterns. Laurie talks about different types of motifs, pattern repeats and also touches on colour theory. Laurie also discusses inspiration and how to kickstart your creative juices through journals, mood boards and forecasting trends.
This section also has some great tutorials on how to use illustrator and photoshop to create patterns. Examples in the tutorials are from Laurie's own lines. I couldn't resist having a go at these. The isntructions were clear and easy to follow and within no time I had a few pattern repeats to play with. I might just have to sned out some patterns to be printed on Spoonflower!
Section 2 is all about different types of fabrics and methods of printing. It covers fabric dyeing, hand printing and digital printing. Laurie shares some great tutorials on how to adjust your files for printing which will help with the myriad of digital fabric printing services available such as www.spoonflower.com
Section 3 is about the fabric business in general and covers marketing and moving towards mass production of your designs. This section is packed with interviews with established fabric designers such as Heather Moore, Joel Dewberry and Nancy Mims.
Laurie's approachable writing style along with all the inspirational photos and interviews, make this a must have book if you have any interest in fabric design. It nicely complements Fabric Design by Kim Kight as a more hands on book.

The term "X-ray optics" is used to describe both, the lore of the behaviour of high energy photons, and devices influencing e.g. the direction, spectrum, intensity or phase of X-rays.
This site explains how to generate and detect X-rays and it illustrates some aspects of X-ray physics. There is a wide range of X-ray optical devices. You will find to understand the function and use of many types of X-ray optics. It might help you to find out, what kind of X-ray optics is the most suitable for your own purposes.

|Are Stock Buybacks Always Good?
By ETFguide.com MAY 09, 2013 2:20 PM
While buyback equity indexes have easily outperformed major stock benchmarks like the Dow Industrials, not all of that money is always well spent.
The peak in corporate share buybacks was reached back in 2007, when companies bought $589.1 billion worth of stock.
The information technology (NYSEARCA:XLK) and health care (NYSEARCA:XLV) sectors spent the most on quarterly repurchases ($19.8 billion and $14.4 billion, respectively) in Q4 2012. However, of the sectors that averaged $2 billion or more in quarterly share repurchases since 2005, the industrials (NYSEARCA:XLI) sector showed the largest sequential and year-over-year growth (30.6% and 59.4%) in dollar-value buybacks.

Edited, III to reflect Level's 26 May 2009 schedule
Iryuu -Team Medical Dragon- © Nogizaka Taro and Nagai Akira/Shogakukan
Per earlier mention, I plan to go on holiday in the middle of the month so I prepared this May manga release to fill in for the weeklies I won't be able to post. This here's Level Comics's list from Komikologi May. For actual weekly manga releases, please check here.
May 2009 "Executive Summary," Part II
Twenty-four manga slated for release, the minimum number of Level's monthly manga commitment.
New manga Level has pencilled in two new (relatively short) manga series for May: A Hint of Purple (Honoka ni Purple) by Anastacia Club manga-ka Saito Chiho-sensei and Strange Tales of Tokyo (Toukei Ibun) by Kajiwara Niki-sensei. The latter is a seinen horror mystery in collaboration with Ono Fuyumi-sensei of Twelve Kingdoms, Ghost Hunt/Akuryou series fame.
Series ending or about to
Only one series concludes—the premature Tetsuzin 4 of 4 (28 April 2009 street date). However, the more celebration-worthy manga tome (for me and Level's Lenny-san knows this because I was pestering her about it) is the penultimate For You in Full Blossom or Hana-Kimi. After all that happened in volume 21, can you blame me?
Advanced titles
Manga that released in advance of the May advisory include: 3X3 Eyes 25, Feverish Girl (Binetsu Shoujo) 5, Little Devil Café (Koakuma Café) 2, and Rainbow 11. The first two released 28 April 2009; the latter pair is scheduled for 5 May.
Just one quibble: Still no Bond 3.

text: Jennifer Garner took to the red carpet last night to support her hubby Ben Affleck's new film, Argo, but from the look of her fiery red Monique Lhuillier gown, we're guessing all eyes were on her and not her significant other. The red crepe stunner was from Lhuillier's Fall 2012 collection, and featured red leather straps that curved down around the actress' hips, creating a contour detail. And since the dress itself was such a showstopper, Jen wisely didn't go for fussy hair and makeup, but instead kept it simple with a nude lip and shiny hair that let the gown be the star of the show.

This really needs no introduction. But it made me laugh. Enjoy.
Friday, Friday, how I love thee oh Friday! (Sorry about that. Just feeling a little Shakespeare-ish this morning.) Anyway…it is indeed Friday and I'm looking forward to a family weekend. As is my common ritual, let's kick it off with my favorite links post. What a great way to sum up all the fun stuff I found this week!
I think that should do it for today. Have a great weekend everybody!
It's Friday! Time for my favorite links of the week.
Happy holidays, everyone!
It's Friday! Time to pass along to you the links from this week that looked most interesting. Lots of good stuff this week. Enjoy!
Do you have any favorite links or sites this week I missed? I love to hear from you. Please feel free to share. On September 30, I will have a drawing for a $5 Starbucks card. For every blog post you comment on, you will receive one entry. Leave a comment and join the fun! If you don't want to miss a post, make sure to subscribe to my RSS or email feeds here.


text: Baltimore Ravens S Ed Reed caused a bit of stir this week, with comments that he'd be open to playing for the New England Patriots (and HC Bill Belichick). Some believe that the Pats may have difficulty affording Reed along with some of their other internal FAs, but there's always some shuffling that can be done to accommodate desired targets underneath the salary cap. Nevertheless, there is some reason to pump the brakes on all the Reed-to-New England speculation.

Sometimes I stumble across a wedding radiating love and happiness from every picture. Not only are all the wonderful details in the images above swoonworthy, but the couple looks so incredibly happy and content in the moment. When I first came across Tim Will, I admired his work immediately and when he posted this gorgeous wedding in Savannah….I knew it was a matter a time before it would be calling me back for a post.
Thanks for your patience this whole week while I've been blogging back and forth between EAD and Once Wed. It was a first for me and I hope you enjoyed the real wedding posts all week on EAD and Once Wed. Next week will be back to normal, but I'll still be working behind the scenes like a maniac for the new site launch in October. Have a lovely weekend and I will see you here Monday bright and early!

Ricky Martin appeared as the guest judge and musical talent for the evening. Martin opened the show-showing off a little of his footwork-with his song "We Are One."
Unfortunately, you can tell dancers are getting tired as the season progresses due to the injuries. Danica fractured a rib this week during rehearsal and Amy injured her back during her Rumba performance with Derek.
Tonight also included two team dances. "Team Vida" (Nene, Charlie and James) vs "Team Loca" (Meryl, Candace and Danica) took to the floor in freestyle Latin choreography. (Note: The team scores were added to the individual scores for their final points of the evening.)
The Scores
- Meryl and Maks (Salsa) – 78
- Amy and Derek (Rumba) – 75
- Candace and Mark (Tango) – 74
- Danica and Val (Salsa) – 72

- Nene and Tony (Tango) – 66

The Highlights
Danica's dancing in the Salsa was a little safe due to the broken rib but it was still quite entertaining. The consummate actress never gave a hint that she was still in pain as she worked her hips and even performed a split. Val's choreography is always quite good but the accompanying dancers and neon costume seemed to take it up a notch.
Charlie really wanted to see some 10s this week and the Paso Doble seemed like a perfect dance to do so for an ice skater. Overall, Charlie's attack was very enthusiastic although hitting the sharp, still positions tended to be a little sloppy because he was not able to find a balance between the two qualities of movement. However, from a purely aesthetic point of view, it was a great dance to watch with just the right amount of tension between Charlie and Sharna. The audience absolutely loved this one and Charlie is still a strong contender and partner.
During rehearsal week Mark took Candace to a Sports Psychologist hoping to help her not feel like she needs to hold back in front of the camera. Obviously, it worked because the Tango was just the right contrast of quick and slow, sustained movement. Candace is quite the athlete and it is gratifying to watch her developing grace on the dance floor from week to week.
Unsurprisingly, Meryl took to the Salsa like a skater to ice. She looked like some mixture of a Latin music artist making a video (which might have been due to the hair reminiscent of Gloria Estefan circa 1988) and a more sultry Sandy from Grease dancing with an entourage behind her. The dance was great fun and definitely one of the crowd-pleasers of the evening.
Both Team Vida and Team Loca were dynamic and excellently constructed dances. Albeit, Team Loca seemed a little more cohesive, both performances were great for television and the studio audience who showed overwhelming approval.
Nene, Charlie and James were the bottom three this week after having all, ironically, danced on the same team. It was Nene who was sent home at the end of the night leaving James and Charlie to dance another week.
Albuquerque viewers can watch DWTS on KOAT 7 (ABC) Monday nights at 7 p.m. (MST). Tune in again next Monday for another week of intense competition!

This morning on my walk to the office I was greeted by four inhabitants of downtown L.A., and not one of them asked me for spare change.
I'm a little reluctant to refer to them as homeless because there's a good chance they're not; most of them probably have a home somewhere, even if it's little more than a room in a $150/week hotel. Yes, they exist, and no, you probably don't want to stay there on your next vacation, as cheap as it may seem.
Around 4th & Los Angeles I encountered a lady and a gentleman having a chat across the width of Los Angeles St. The lady was on my side of Los Angeles and walking toward me while the gentleman was crossing Los Angeles from the other side. As I approached they seemed to conclude their chat, and the lady turned, saw me, and wished me a good morning, and I returned her greeting. Unexpectedly, she did not ask me for spare change.
The gentleman had finished crossing to our side of Los Angeles, and having witnessed the brief exchange between the lady and I, while I was still about 30-feet away called out to me.
"Yo! What's up?"
"Hey! How you doin'?" I called back, then added. "Cold one this morning." (Which it was.)
He said something in return which I didn't catch but I knew meant that he hadn't quite heard or understood what I'd said. As I got closer he repeated, "Whazzat?"
"She's a cold one this morning," I said.
"Ooh yeah," he agreed.
And on I walked, again without being asked for change.
As I approached 5th St. I saw it was a hive of activity, much like last week. For some reason everyone seems to be out early on Friday morning. Maybe it's the excitement of the approaching weekend, I don't know, but at 5:30am on a Friday morning the place-to-be in downtown L.A. appears to be 5th St. and Los Angeles.
As I crossed 5th St. a large, middle-aged black woman standing on the opposite corner snarled loudly at a passerby, "What are you looking at?" Then she turned, saw me, and greeted me with a cheerful, "Morning, baby. How you doing?"
"I'm doing well, thank you," I replied. "How are you this morning?"
"I am going to make it," she said. She had such a positive outlook that I knew whatever curveballs life threw at her she would take it all in stride.
"That is really good to hear," I responded, with as much sincerity as I could muster.
Just a little further down was a young, quite stylishly dressed black man who, if the lady I'd just spoken to was a lady of the night, and I'm not saying she was, may - or may not - have been her agent. Or he may have been a gentleman of the night himself. He was quite well dressed. He had clearly overheard my conversation with the large black lady and he caught my eye and grinned at me as I approached, and then he smiled and wished me a good morning.
The incongruity of a white boy like me in that neighborhood at that time of the morning probably contributes to the warm reception I received. That I'm not just a white boy but a white boy from a small country town in rural Australia walking through downtown Los Angeles at 5:30 in the morning only serves to further enhance the absurdity of the situation.
This is not to say downtown Los Angeles is erroneously portrayed in the media and is actually a delightful place for an early morning stroll. I'm an Aussie country boy in Los Angeles. I am who I am. YMMV.

Whenever me and my boyfriend have sex it's super painful, and I've been getting bladder infections once a month for the past year, usually right after we have sex. I always pee before and after, and he always wears a condom, but they seem to be getting worse. A couple days ago I had one so bad that I was peeing blood, not a little but a lot. What else can I do to prevent bladder infections? Should I come in and get some tests done?
Absolutely, you need to be seen by a health care provider for an exam and urinalysis. From your note I am unsure if you are getting treated for your bladder infections which happen once a month. Bladder infections, or urinary tract infections, are caused by bacteria and should be treated with antibiotics. This infection can be diagnosed with a urinalysis in a clinic and then with a urine culture sent to a lab for identification of the bacteria and for antibiotic sensitivity.
Serious complications such as a kidney infection can result from not treating urinary infections. Also, be sure to be screened for sexually transmitted diseases, as they may cause painful urination and painful intercourse.
Please contact your health care provider for an appointment or the Student Health and Counseling Center, if you are an eligible student, at 907-786-4040.

Imagine this nightmare: You're back in high school phys ed class, outdoors at the track, and it's seven a.m. You're shivering and half awake. An extremely fit jock, someone who normally wouldn't give you the time of day, measures your hips and upper arm flab, pinches your belly fat with evil-looking calipers, and orders you to run up and down the stadium bleachers. Next a trainer with a stopwatch demands that you do as many sit-ups as you can within a minute ("All the way up!") and as many push-ups ("Nose to the ground!") as you can before collapsing. Then one of the coaches times you running laps around and around the track with the rest of the class — and you finish dead last.
That was not a bad dream. It was my first day of the six-week outdoor fitness program Boot Camp SF (for San Francisco). I hated every moment of that morning. Ever since I was a pudgy kid, perpetually picked last for the team, I had disliked running and doing sit-ups, dips, squats, lunges, and most other types of rigorous physical exercise. I was more fit than I'd been as a kid — in fact, I was in pretty good shape — but I still liked mellow, noncompetitive activities: a nice stretching class, a stroll with a friend, a bicycle ride. I preferred to glow rather than sweat.
But it wasn't enough. My doctor had told me in no uncertain terms that because I was in perimenopause, I needed to lift some weights and work up a good sweat regularly.
It turns out that all those miserable exercises the gym teachers foisted on us in high school are the very ones that can help keep us fit in our 40s and beyond. An occasional plank pose in yoga class won't suffice: We need regular strength training to build and maintain muscle and keep our bones strong; both of these things can help keep osteoporosis at bay. And raising our heart rate by running helps burn calories and keeps us in good cardiovascular health.
After my doctor delivered the bad news, I did what most well-intentioned people would do: I signed up for a gym membership. For several weeks, I donned my iPod headphones and joined a row of anonymous people jogging, Spinning, and stepping to nowhere in front of a bank of TVs. I pushed a few weights around. Then I became one of those people who expends a few calories feeling guilty about buying a yearlong membership to a fitness club and never going. To the list of things I hate, exercise-wise, I added being indoors working out on machines under fluorescent lights.
So when I saw an eye-catching ad exhorting me to "train outdoors" and realized the sessions were in Golden Gate Park, only a few blocks from my house, I signed right up. I thought it would be, well, a walk in the park.
It was not. But astonishingly, after that first grueling morning of tests, I found myself again setting my alarm for 6:15 a.m. I pulled on my shiny new kicks and went back for the second day. (One trainer told me that although I had never actually run in my running shoes, they had lost their spring from the five years of walking around I'd done in them. So I had bought a new pair.) The trainers had divided the 30 of us into three groups, based on speed. No surprise, they put me in the "slow" group (I prefer not to call it "remedial") with mainly trim women who seemed pretty darned fast to me. I was happy I wasn't in the gang of marathoners with the Scottish coach who had trained with British special forces and is an expert in jujitsu and boxing. Still, our trainer, Tracy Hicks — a blue-eyed 38-year-old with so little body fat I wondered how she managed to have dimples — didn't cut us any slack. She ordered us to run hills and do countless push-ups and crunches in the grass. As we gasped for breath, she would remark cheerfully about how the glorious morning sun was streaming through the redwood trees.

Tennis superstar Maria Sharapova has a fabulous figure. However, she designs her diet to fuel her performance rather than to focus on weight loss, reported Us Weekly on Aug. 19. It's a high protein diet balanced with carefully chosen carbohydrates. And when she's not scoring on the court, she's soaring in her second career as a candy entrepreneur.
"Carbs are important for my sport, but it's about finding the right balance between them and protein," Maria explained. "In the morning, I have fruit, then rye toast with goat cheese and a piece of ham. When I'm playing tournaments, I try to minimize things that can create inflammation, like lactose, and goat cheese is easier for me to process than butter."
Maria emphasizes protein for lunch and dinner. "For lunch, it's a protein like chicken and then soup, because I'm Russian and we love soups," she revealed. "For dinner, I'll have fish, like salmon or sea bass, and rice or potatoes."
And although her sleek physique doesn't show it, Maria loves sweets. Rather than just indulge in treats on her own, Maria has decided to turn it into a candy business called Sugarpova, reported CNBC on Aug. 19.
She projects that she will sell twice as much candy as she did last year, totaling 1.3 million bags of gummy candy. "When I started this I wanted it to be a very unique project, something different that the market has not seen in the gummy world and I think we have created that," Maria said proudly.
The sweet treats are described as "premium candy line that reflects the fun, fashionable, sweet side of international tennis sensation." The line features different flavors and colors in upscale, bright packaging that rivals Barbie's Dream House.
Also putting her money where her taste buds are, she signed a deal with a frozen yogurt franchise. Pinkberry is a fro yo boutique that caters to an upscale shopper.
As male athletes increasingly get attention for weight loss without constantly revealing precisely how much weight they have lost, female athletes undergo scrutiny that often rivals the media spotlight on Kim Kardashian and Jessica Simpson. And just as with celebrities, the question arises: Does the public really have the right to know precisely how much someone weighs?
Max Eisenbud, Maria's agent, was asked recently by Slate magazine about her weight. "I don't know too many women that like to speak about their height and weight. But if you look at all sports, the height and weight is never right. Not just tennis," he said protectively.

Jon Stewart is not a fan of Justin Bieber's "ungentlemanly" behavior. However, the part that bothers him the most is the negative impact that Bieber has had on Selena Gomez.
During a May 7 interview with Seth Rogen on the "Daily Show," Stewart talked about how his own children had been fans of Gomez. As he explained, "I have young children. And [Selena] was the winner of the family wizard competition on Wizards of Waverley Place. They were engaged in a battle for four years and she ended up winning. My kids really respected that victory."
Rogen asked if her victory had been diminished by her relationship with Bieber. Stewart expressed disappointment in what he felt was poor judgment on her part. As he responded, "how do I explain that to them? She was a wizard and now she's hanging out with a douchebag."
Like Stewart, Rogen is not a "Belieber." He has met Bieber a few times, and the experiences were not so positive. As the "Neighbors" star commented, "he's a good example of someone who you meet, who you think you are going to hate and then you get to hate him. You meet him and he lives up to every one of your expectations."
As Rogen told Howard Stern, he was backstage at a German talk show a few years ago when someone told him that Bieber wanted to meet him. However, the "Boyfriend" singer apparently turned the tables to make it look like Rogen had asked for the meeting. As he commented, "'what the f---, I don't give a f--- about, I don't want to meet you! Don't act all nonplussed to meet me. I didn't want to meet you. I was totally cool not meeting you."
The "Knocked Up" star had been willing to give Bieber a benefit of a doubt because he was very young at the time. However, Rogen had another recent encounter and realized that he had not changed. As he explained, Bieber possessed "no humility, no awareness, no sense that 'I appeal to young, young people, maybe a grown man who works in comedy doesn't f-ing give a s--- about me.'"
Bieber apparently loves Rogen's movies. However, he doesn't seem to respect him enough to spell his name correctly. As he tweeted on May 8, "Seth Rogan sorry I didnt bow down when I asked 2 meet u was probably a bit shy and didn't want to be over the top but still. love ur movies."
Has Bieber allowed fame to get to his head? Was Rogen right to call him out for his lack of humility? Or do critics need to cut Bieber some slack? Could Selena Gomez' association with him potentially hurt her career?
