Awarded Grant Traumatic Injury Biomechanics
Computer Modeling and Etiological Investigation of Acute Injury Risk
FOA Number: CDC-RFA-CD08-002: Biomechanics Applications to the Reduction of Traumatic Injuries and Their Severity
Project Period: 8/01/05-7/31/06
Application/Grant Number: CE000789
Principal Investigator: Timothy Ovaert, PhD
University of Notre Dame
Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering
374 Fitzpatrick Hall
Notre Dame, IN 46556
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Description: Acute injuries to the spine and other extremities are both a health risk and a major contributor to total health care costs in the U.S. To reduce the severity and cost of these injuries, researchers will study injury biomechanics through the development of advanced computer modeling and risk assessment-based etiological methods.
Researchers will develop computational models of spinal fusion to determine the relative importance of fusion mass, location, fusion mass size, bone density of the fusion, and trabecular bone density within the vertebral body on the load carrying capacity of a lumbar interbody fusion. They will also develop a damage-specific contrast agent with greater x-ray attenuation than bone, for micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) of microdamage. This project will include developing a nonlinear hybrid cellular automata approach for designing automotive structural topologies that are tailored for energy-absorbing capability.
As a result of this study, diagnostic aids can be developed to evaluate interbody fusions, allowing clinicians to quantitatively assess the procedure and to set limits on physical activity to prevent spine re-injury for those with active lifestyles. Further, non-destructive techniques can be developed for detecting microdamage in bone that could eventually translate into new in vivo and clinical diagnostic techniques for fracture susceptibility, thus reducing the potential for injury among older adults.

Fire Severely Damage Library at CIU
One never knows when tragedy will strike. On May 8th, it struck Columbia International University's G. Allen Fleece Library.
According to Columbia Fire Chief, Aubrey Jenkins, the G. Allen Fleece Library building on the Columbia International University campus in our capitol city and "nearly every book in the building was probably affected in some way by heat, smoke or fire damage." The damage to the Fleece Library and its collection is estimated at $2.5 million.
Read The State newspaper report about the fire. To see images of the fire and its aftermath, CIU has posted photographs in its FLICKR account.
Fires are scary. Aftermaths of fires are scary.
The Emergency Team at the Beaufort County Library has recently updated our disaster plans as instructed by the County's Emergency Management department. We meet throughout the year to check our plan and tweak it in light of new circumstances or information. We schedule fire drills at each of our locations conducted by Fire District staff. We coordinate a staff training session dealing with workplace safety or recovery activities at least annually. It is an active, thoughtful, pro-active team effort. I am proud to work with colleagues Dennis Adams, Laura Hayden, and Stuart Forrest on the Library's Emergency/Disaster Response team chaired by Miriam Mitchell.
We worked hard in March and April to update our plans. Our aim is a plan that will protect life and our collections. Our intent is to efficiently execute the plan should we have to put it into action. Of course, we all have our fingers crossed that we won't have to use it at all -- ever! But isn't it much better to have a disaster recovery plan and not need it, than to need one and not have it?
Every emergency situation has as its first priority: Minimize risk to human life. There is likely to be glass and water puddled throughout the building after the fire fighters leave. Falling down and breaking your leg or neck would not be a good thing to do. Getting electrocuted would not be a pleasant shocking experience. The Library aims to protect human life first, then move on to protecting library "stuff."
However, one cannot lollygag with starting recovery efforts, particularly in libraries, because of what we store: lots and lots of books, papers, art, and audio-visual materials just waiting to decay with mold, mildew, and disintegration of substrates. Therefore, time is of the essence.
The window for preventing a mold breakout is less than 48 hours. And a mold outbreak is dangerous for the recovery of materials plus it's a health hazard for humans. In the case of mold outbreaks, prevention is worth more than a pound of cure -- it can also mean the difference between a library getting up and running within a few days to a month, a library having to gut its entire collection and starting over -- perhaps in an another location with all new materials -- or a library closing down altogether forever.
Arm yourself with information on what to do in case a fire breaks out at your home and damages your family treasures. To learn about how to recover book materials damaged by fire, smoke, or heat, study the Northeast Conservation Center online pamphlet "Emergency Salvage of Wet Books and Records."

An army of social media thinkers has deemed it useful to redefine ROI, as in social media ROI. In 2010, Brian Solis introduced it in his book Engage! as Return on Influence (and also as Return on Investment, Return on Involvement, Return on Innovation and Relevance of Interaction).
The term Return on Influence (now Realization of Influence as well) is not Brian's invention. Back in 2009, Amy Jo Martin came up with a popular video including so-called "cold and warm metrics" and mentioning Return On Influence. In 2007, Valeria Maltoni and others already talked about it, elaborating on a post by Paul Dunay. Since a few months, there is even a book called Return On Influence.
Confusing, isn't it? Time to get serious about social media ROI as in Return on Investment again.
The term Return on Influence, that is defined in several ways and is far from scientific, today shows up in 312 million Google search results. The term Social Media ROI just in little over 42 million. I find this a bit awkward and even preposterous.
ROI stands for Return on Investment. Period. No, that's not true. It is also used as an acronym for 'Receipt of Invoice', 'Release of Information' and 'Risk of Infection'. But I bet you don't care about that.
In this post, I will not further discuss ROI as Return on Influence. I surely will try to cover the impact and meaning of the holy grail, 'influence', one day soon but packaging influence and the return on it as ROI in social media context to me simply is useless, confusing and even naïve. I guess it is part of the social 'new speak' craze that unfortunately creates a context in which few simple marketers, such as myself, still understand what the pundits are talking about.
So, let's talk about social media ROI a bit more, as it is covered in a chapter of the book with the same name by my friend and former Fusion Marketing Experience keynote speaker (read here), Olivier Blanchard. This text is based on a blog post by Jim Lenskold, in which he looks at the incessant discussions about social media marketing ROI. For me, Jim is the absolute expert on marketing ROI (he also wrote the – according to me best – book on it, back when most social media experts were discovering blogging), and I am more than glad he wants to come to Antwerp in May for our #fusionmex marketing congress.
Social media marketing ROI: a matter of maturity?
Let me start with a few findings from the "Marketing ROI & Measurement Study 2011" by Jim's Lenskold Group. It shows that the need for social media measurement is lower in organizations that conduct social media experiments and are basically testing the waters on a relatively small scale, than among marketers who want to increase the efficiency of their social media programs and improve integration.
This might seem insignificant, but it's not. It indicates that measurement – and, yes, ROI – of 'social' becomes more important once the experimental phase is over. Moreover, it gets to be more significant when integration comes into play. And integration is exactly what customer-focused marketing is all about: no marketing activity is an island, and this is where many social media experts fail: they can't think beyond the social silos they created.
As long as social media marketing is conducted on a small and experimental scale, it's often left out of the marketing ROI context. This has to do with a lack of metrics, priorities, practical aspects, risk and the overall use of marketing ROI, among many others. When implementing marketing ROI, it's important not to focus solely on marketing projects with proven ROI. It's also meaningful to include programs with less certainty from the ROI viewpoint. When done on a relatively small scale, these kinds of investments will not impact the overall marketing ROI too much. However, when they succeed, they can boost marketing ROI in general significantly.
By the way: note that marketing ROI is not (only) about measuring, improving and reporting. It's first of all about forecasting and getting programs approved.
The social media ROI question: more than a big one-size-fits-all yes or no
"The reality is that the need to measure ROI comes down to more than just a simple yes/no question," Jim writes, and he offers 10 questions you should answer about social media ROI. Below are some of them.
1. Should an investment in social media marketing be expected to generate a positive ROI?
Not if you believe David Meerman Scott. In that case, you should answer your boss, each time he asks about social media ROI, with another question: "what is the ROI of his mobile real-time device?". Next, you might have to find another job.
If you are not looking at social media ROI from this perspective, want to prove marketing is not a cost (because that's how many C-suite folks still look at it), work for a properly managed company that measures and don't want to make the mistake, as David Meerman Scott does, to wonder what the ROI of Twitter is, the answer is obviously yes. In case you doubt: the ROI of Twitter is zero since Twitter is not a marketing strategy, so I guess David is right in a way after all.
Again: can social media marketing (note the word marketing) be expected to generate a positive ROI? In other words: can you generate incremental profits in excess of the marketing expense which of course also includes expenses regarding resources such as labor?
Jim Lenskold is amazed many marketers still ask such questions. I think Jim is a very polite man to be just amazed. The very least thing you need is an ROI projection that is based on your "best" data and assumptions to express the expected financial contribution.
2. Should we exempt some forms of social media from expectations in terms of ROI?
As I often write, social media is a huge umbrella term. Jim reminds us of that as well. Of course, the different functions and goals social media can be used for (we're talking business, including marketing) has practical consequences in terms of ROI projections and calculations. Branding is not lead generation, which is not customer service or reducing costs while improving efficiency of your call center.
Also take into account the different levels (campaigns, programs, etc.) and timeframes (with relatively new tactics and strategies such as social media the long term can matter more) you are going to work with. Nevertheless, in general most forms of social media marketing and business can be measured and ROI calculated.
3. What results should you measure/predict to determine ROI?
This question obviously also depends on your goals. I guess I don't have to say you need metrics and KPIs. By the way: there are no such things as cold and warm metrics. Amy Jo Martin's video is not that bad but a metric is a metric and ROI is Return on Investment.
An inch is an inch, a mile is a mile, a click-through is a click-through and a 'like' is a 'like'. Metrics are simply metrics. A metric can be used as a KPI although typically you combine different metrics to have a KPI that is relevant for your business (and customers). Nothing cold, nothing hard, just analytics.
What you do have, however, are metrics that are related to specific goals, stages in the buying journey, to certain channels, the individual customer lifecycle and social or other touch points, to name just a few. Also note that, in order to know Marketing ROI in a more holistic way, you obviously need to speak a 'common language' regarding the metrics that are used across the business.
As I just wrote, there is a difference between branding and lead generation Thus, the results you are looking for and by definition ways of measuring them, differ. There is also a difference between a campaign to sell more and one to create awareness. Complete the list.
Now, how do you move towards ROI of social media marketing using marketing – and obviously, sales, business and financial – metrics and KPIs.
Jim lists some examples of ways to measure social media ROI:
- Incremental sales that can be directly linked to a social media effort or campaign.
- The number of newly acquired leads that convert into sales.
- The incremental customer value through retention and relationship or loyalty efforts
- An increased awareness and interest, leading to more potential buyers in the early steps of the traditional funnel.
- A higher brand preference that leads to more sales conversions.
- Etc.
Obviously, the precise KPIs and metrics you use to gauge social media ROI 'de facto' thrive better on an integrated view. Marketing ROI can be calculated at the level of channels and micro-campaigns but ideally also occurs at a higher level. And don't forget the challenges regarding attribution and the shortcomings of the traditional funnel model in a cross-channel reality.
4. Should you measure ROI for every social media initiative?
The answer is no. Sometimes you cannot immediately do it or better, want to do it. There are various reasons for this. It reminds me of what Jim Sterne once told me: you can't measure the business impact of a blogger mentioning you. Yes, you should look at the micro-level but there is also the matter of setting priorities and the aim and scope of the 'project'.
This does not mean you shouldn't measure and watch the metrics you have though, also in rather small and rather social media marketing initiatives and even if no real ROI exercise is done. And obviously not everything can be measured – read "Social Media and ROI: Some clarity. (Again.)".
Note that the question of what you can measure is not by definition related to a distinction between what we traditionally define as more measurable or 'tangible' activities (e.g. direct marketing) and less measurable and seemingly tangible activities (e.g. branding in the broadest sense). At least if you know what the branding impact of various activities is (preferably also in a channel-agnostic way), and if you know the impact several brand attributes (not just awareness) have on purchasing decisions.
That's it for now, time to get ROI – and social media ROI – back where it belongs. Let me know what you think and read Jim Lenskold's full post here.

Thanks, yeah I think this happened possibly from my work community while posting on forums at lunch. Right now I'm running scans and can't find anything, so it must be from that pc.
No worries though, the worst that could happen is one week of no Markco. Whoever hacked the account probably is jumping for joy right now at his gold mine, I have a feeling that whoever did this is trying to transfer the character and pass gold to another realm.

Don't you worry :)
Bitwise said... February 4, 2009 at 11:02 AM
This is most likely a direct result of you saying you have over 30,000 gold on your Markco character. That's a lot of gold for a hacker to blow away, and, while i'm disappointed, i'm not surprised.
Best of luck to you! Hopefully Billing will get your character restored.

I had been hacked once.
I was doing daily quests suddenly a msg poped saying you are have been disconnected. i try to relog but password error. then i check my email noticed that my email of the acc had been changed. I picked up my phone right away and phone Blizzard Customers service. Of cuz its impossible to stop him immediately but he was trying to transfer my items , i stopped him while he was doing it. however all of my gold were gone ><
i get back all stuff inorder gold with in a week. thats not too bad.
i think i got hacked cuz of unknown addon from CGaming.

I do not know if they are available in your region, but I use the Blizzard Authenticator. For six bucks, it's worth not having the hassle or worry about being hacked! Ecspecially considiering the amount of wealth you have and that you publically advertise it! =)
Markco said... February 4, 2009 at 3:34 PM
I looked into the authenticator today, pretty cool stuff! For six bucks that is a great deal.
Hey Markco, I've been reading your blog here for a while but have never posted.
I just want to say that you -NEED- to buy an authenticator from blizzard. It's the BEST security from being hacked. Look into it, $6 in real life to avoid a ton of headaches later is SO worth it.
best thing u have to do, blizz site, retrieve password so that it locks the hacker acess. dont look into ur mail from ur computer so that the hacker dont get it too before u scan n clean the computer 1st.
never had problems with stuff like that till the day i lend my pass to a friend so he could try wow in northrend since he left almost as BC came. Bad felling on that night, account hacked day after,,,
around 4k G in that day lost plus every piece of gear...
thou blizz works fast and if u have no bad history in ur account u get all items in same day.
pain in the ass anyways,,, autenticator now rulez... i think blizz should use some matrix sistem like the banks do, send a matrix card with each account so that the matrix got some confirmation code. something like autenticator in a way.
after posting i went to see ur post on blizz foruns,,, and u say he changed ur e-mail... now that gotta be a pain... guess my hacker was a bit stupider... or his target not so wealthy =)

Hi Markco my account was hacked about 8 months ago i couldnt believe it happened to me i was so mad at myself for letting this happen. Blizz sorted the accout out for me really quick as i was able to tell the that i have never used Wow on any other Computer. When Blizz finally sorted everything out (A few days later) i checked my mail and everything that i had before was given back also i was so pleased with Blizz as they gave me twice the amount of motes, cloth, dust and nethers that i had. I know you will get your account sorted but i hope you also get some free stuff
Markco said... February 5, 2009 at 9:43 AM
Thanks all, really appreciate the feedback as I've never been hacked before. Ha! Some free stuff would be great! The only thing I'm really upset about is my arena team, but they'll manage to save it I hope and I probably lost the 600 arena points I would of gotten for this week.

If someone stole my account I would pay someone to find the hacker, then i pay some someone to visit that hacker and cut every single tendon on his hands.
Sorry, but I spend 4 years of my life on this game.
I wouldnt stop looking for you til i find you and then I mess you up really well.
Marcko, love your blog, feel sad for you, but you will get it all back.

Jenet said... February 23, 2009 at 1:41 PM
I just got hacked yesterday. The thing that made me the most upset was I was going to ding in Zul'drak, without having been to storm peaks, and the basin, or... the other one.
He flew my character to K3, and did 12 quests in Storm Peaks, to leave me a fraction from 80. He sent me mail on my alt, and said grats. I left you 600 extra gold, but you have a bunch of people mad at you. Sorry...
Turns out he scammed a ton of people, but left me all my gear, and extra gold. I <3 My life. I'm asking Blizz to roll my character back so I can do those quests. And I'm in talks with the people that got scammed to pay them back.

Hi Markco,
Did you ever figure out how you got hacked?
I was hacked over the weekend and I'm still waiting on Blizzard to contact me about it as of course it happened on a Friday night and their account admin and billing is not opened on weekends.
Do they call you?
I was able to get back control via the recover password feature. I ended up losing gold and items but they also were able to change the email address of the account and I'm trying to figure out how as the pw for my registered email on the wow account is different than my wow pw.
Markco said... April 6, 2009 at 5:53 PM
I had fallen for a trick email. Be patient and pester them with phone calls when they ignore you.

text: Cardiac Rehabilitation Contact Information *NEW LOCATION* 2655 Ridgeway Avenue, Suite 210 Rochester, NY 14626 Phone: (585) 368-4374 Cardiac Rehabilitation Newark-Wayne Community Hospital 1200 Driving Park Ave. Newark, NY 14513 Phone: (315) 332-2463 What is a Cardiac Rehabilitation Program and Who is it For? Cardiac rehabilitation offers a medically supervised program created to help heart patients recover quickly and improve their overall physical and mental health, and is appropriate for a wide variety of heart patients. If you have had a cardiac event such as heart attack, angioplasty, bypass surgery or heart valve surgery or if you have two or more risk factors for heart disease (such as elevated cholesterol, high blood pressure, smoking, diabetes and weight issues), then cardiac rehabilitation could be right for you. Our main goal with cardiac rehabilitation is to help you lead a healthier lifestyle, while maintaining a high level of heart fitness, and to reduce the risk of another heart problem or the worsening of a heart condition. We use a team approach to cardiac rehabilitation – your own dedicated rehabilitation team will work together to create your personal plan. What Does Cardiac Rehabilitation Involve? Before entering the program, you will need to have a simple exercise tolerance (stress) test conducted by your own cardiologist in order to evaluate your medical condition. This test is usually covered by insurance. Phase I: This cardiac rehabilitation phase is completed during your initial hospital stay. A cardiac rehabilitation member provides education and information to ease the transition from hospital to home. Phase II: This phase usually begins two to eight weeks after a cardiac event, depending on your recovery time. It includes in-depth education about heart disease risk factors and counseling on lifestyle changes. Exercise is also an important component of this phase. Phase II consists of a 12-week (three 90- minute sessions per week) or 18-week (two 90-minute sessions per week) and is covered by most insurances. Continuing the Program: Once you have completed Phase II cardiac rehabilitation, you may continue our program. We offer Phase III, which is a less structured but more intense continuation of the Phase II. This program is also for a 12-week or 18-week period. Phase IV is for people who want to continue their commitment to healthier lifestyle in a supervised exercise program. This is a self-pay program. Cardiac Rehabilitation Goals and Plans Our cardiac rehabilitation specialists are here to help you understand how to live a healthy life following a cardiac event or concern. We commit to: Provide you with the services to help you lead a healthier, more active life Give you and your family the knowledge needed to live with heart disease Help you understand the importance of including exercise in your daily routine The Sands-Constellation Heart Institute's inpatient and outpatient cardiac rehabilitation programs are here for you to help you improve your heart health. Eligibility & Insurance Eligibility Enrollment in the cardiac rehabilitation program is dependent upon physician referral but is often appropriate for patients who are recovering from a heart attack, open heart surgery or angioplasty. Insurance Many medical insurance policies cover Phase II cardiac rehabilitation. However, there may be some restrictions on the number of sessions and conditions covered. You should be certain to consult with your health insurance carrier or company benefits administrator for an explanation of coverage. Phase III and IV are both affordable self-pay programs.

Barcelona's newest weapon Luis Suarez plead his case before the Court of Arbitration for Sport yesterday, in an attempt to cut his four-month ban from all football activity, in half.
Suarez has been reprimanded for biting three times in his professional career, the most recent infraction coming at this year's World Cup when he bit Italy's, Giorgio Chiellini, during the final game of group play. Following the bite, the Italian players protested penalizing Suarez allowing Uruguay to win a corner kick which they would score on and take a 1-0 lead, to secure the win. Subsequently, the 27-year-old forward would be handed a ban for nine international matches and a fine of 100,000 Swiss Francs (Yahoo News).
In November of 2010 while playing for Ajax, Suarez bit Otman Bakkal a midfielder for PSV Eindhoven. Suarez received a seven match ban as well as a fine by the club for the incident.
In April of 2013 Suarez bit Branislav Ivanovic on his arm but the incident was not caught during the game. Suarez would later receive a 10-match ban by the FA.
In June of 2014 Suarez bit Chiellini on the grandest stage in football, the World Cup. His appeal is ongoing.
Following the five hour hearing, Suarez elected not to comment on his meeting with CAS. He did however sign autographs before being driven off in a black van.
Barcelona's high-profile acquisition may have been tight-lipped on the situation however CAS commented on Suarez's day claiming that he had given "a statement to the Panel of CAS arbitrators: Mr Bernhard Welten, Switzerland (President), Professor Luigi Fumagalli, Italy, and Dr Marco Balmelli, Switzerland" (Yahoo News).
The CAS is expected to have a decision on Suarez next week.

College » Development Office » Profiles in Giving » Mark & Shelia Wolfson
Mark & Shelia Wolfson
Room 370 Wohlers Hall will henceforth be known as the Wolfson Faculty Lounge.
Mark Wolfson (73 BS Accounting and Finance, 74 MAS Accounting and graduate at the top of both of his classes) and his wife Sheila have named the Faculty Lounge through a generous $250,000 gift to the College.
In making this gift, Wolfson said that honoring the faculty was a personal priority.
As a student, the greatest gift I was ever given was being exposed to the teaching and research craft practiced by some of the most caring and committed professors I have ever met. I will be forever grateful for that. The College of Business faculty hold a particularly soft spot in my heart, he said.
In a dedication ceremony held September 14, acting dean Greg Oldham commented on the Wolfsons ties to the College and support of its faculty and staff.
Their gift is a testament to the sense of community among the College extended family and the belief in what the College is doing, Oldham said.
Ira Solomon, R.C. Evans endowed chair in business and head, Department of Accountancy, noted that Wolfson has established a huge presence in scholarly journals and has amassed many teaching and research awards. He also spoke to the level of excellence Wolfson achieved while here at the University of Illinois, reflected in his presence on the bronze tablets at the undergraduate library, as well as his contributions to taxation.
Along with Myron Scholes, who won the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1997, Mark Wolfson has truly transformed and revolutionized how we think about taxation, said Solomon. Their joint work outlines who really pays taxes and how taxation can be regarded as a strategic input to the organization design question.
Solomon said he first met Mark Wolfson in 1976 when he entered the Ph.D. program at the University of Texas where Wolfson was completing his Ph.D. in accounting and was already starting to make a name for himself.
Although the Texas Ph.D. program has a large number of participants, Mark Wolfson was clearly the person everyone looked up to, said Solomon. In fact, if you look up the words excellence and respect in the dictionary today youll see Mark Wolfsons picture, he quipped.
Addressing Wolfson, David Ikenberry, professor of finance & chair, Department of Finance, praised his ability to straddle academic and corporate worlds throughout his career.
To see the academic accomplishments youve made and the skill and tenacity to have a flourishing career in private equity is noteworthy, Ikenberry said.
Prior to the dedication ceremony, Wolfson spoke to Department of Finance Academy students and shared his views on the world of private equity as well as leadership. He emphasized the importance of being ready to tackle tomorrows issues to the classroom of outstanding undergraduate Finance majors.
Its important to expose yourself to analytical frameworks in order to address broader problems, as youll surely face a different set of challenges in the future than youre facing today, Wolfson told the students. Also, expose yourself to some of the smartest people you can, and also have fun, because excellence in your chosen career requires hard work over an extended period of time for most of us, and it is difficult to sustain the requisite effort if you are not enjoying what you are doing.
Mark Wolfson is a managing partner of Oak Hill Capital, a leading private equity firm, and has been working with the firm since 1992. He has taught at the Stanford Graduate School of Business since 1977, including a term as the Dean Witter Professor and a term as Associate Dean. He also has taught at Harvard Business School and the University of Chicago and has been a visiting scholar at M.I.T.'s Sloan School of Management and the Hoover Institution at Stanford University.
Sheila Wolfson attended the University of Illinois for two years as an undergraduate student and earned her bachelors degree in special education from the University of Texas. She earned a masters degree in special education with a specialty in learning disabilities from Santa Clara University in California. She has served on several boards on behalf of children with special needs, and she fondly remembers her time on campus that included volunteering at Lincoln State School in Urbana.
The Wolfsons have a daughter Laura, 25, who is an alum of Washington University in St. Louis and a son Charles, 23, who is a recent graduate of Duke University.

Choosing & Cutting Christmas Tree A Tradition For Many
Selecting the perfect tree to take home for the holidays is just part of the experience offered at Christmas tree farms across the state. A visit to a Christmas tree farm for many has become a family tradition which includes the aroma of evergreens, refreshments and happy children running about.And, of course, the main event is finding that perfect tree to decorate this year."The big advantage is just knowing when it's cut," said Chuck Berry, who serves as Georgia director of the National Christmas Tree Association. "You actually get to pick out your own tree, in your own size and most farms have several varieties to choose from. So you get to customize it for your needs at your home."Some of Georgia's farms offer pictures with Santa and many participate in the Trees for Troops program which provides Christmas trees to families of service members deployed overseas.Georgia Farm Bureau President Zippy Duvall said the on-farm experience families get when selecting their tree is an added bonus."Christmas is a special time of year ad many families cherish the tradition of choosing and cutting their own tree," Duvall said. "At the same time, we hope those visits generate an appreciation for farming."To find one of the nine GFB Certified Farm Markets that grow and sell Christmas trees, visit this website.

New photos have surfaced of Miley Cyrus possibly pot with her mom.
As New York Daily News reported on January 13, 2014, Cyrus was at a house party in Florida on December 19, where she was photographed smoking a funny-looking cigarette, passing it around to her friends, and later laughing and chatting with her mother, Tish Cyrus.
The "We Can't Stop" singer is no stranger to pot-smoking controversies. In a December 1 issue of New York, Joe Jonas claimed that she and Demi Lovato had pressured him into smoking weed when he was 17 or 18.
As Jonas wrote, "they kept saying, 'Try it! Try it!' so I gave it a shot, and it was all right. I don't even smoke weed that often anymore."
Cyrus was blunt in her response to Jonas, pointing out that it was his decision to try pot. As she argued, "if you want to smoke weed, you're going to smoke weed. There's nothing that two little girls are going to get you to do that you don't want to do. I thought maybe he was saying that like it was going to make him look badass,"
The "Wrecking Ball" singer does have a point. What does that say about him if he's letting a bunch of then-15-year-olds pressure him to do something he doesn't want to do?
If Cyrus really was smoking weed in these recent photos, she's probably not going to care if people judge her. In an interview two months ago, Cyrus argued that she is a good role model because she is true to herself, and doesn't care what people think.
As she commented, "I think I'm representing women in a cool way because people aren't used to girls that are just like, 'I genuinely don't care what people think.'"
Do you think that Miley Cyrus was smoking pot last month? Does she need to tone down on the partying? Or are people being too judgmental about her private life?

Head on down Bourbon Street. There's a historic place to eat. It's been worthy of the elite.
Start with fried eggplant, avec powdered sugar, it's worth a rant. Mix a drop of hot sauce to enchant.
The fabulous pistachioed duck crepe, with cherries instead of grape, will leave your mouth agape.
The bread is made crusty, so the table might get a little dusty, but the service here is trusty.
Sit back, as here comes the guy to scrape away the crumbs. It's fancier than dinner at your mum's.
The trout almondine is deliciously pristine, with nutty buttery citrus tastes that are crisp and clean.
It won't hurt to have sweet potato cheesecake for dessert. Don't spill port wine on your shirt!
I can't lie, I had many a fun night at the Alibi, but you might just want to kiss that place goodbye.
Drink til you feel like a czar, as in the future, not too far, it is scheduled to be turned into an oyster bar.
Who would do such a thing, dump countless money to bring the service worker bar on the upswing?
The same people that made 33, where Mike Anderson's used to be, and bought out a famous family.
There's no misunderstanding. Galatoire's is expanding, bringing service and food that's outstanding.
The original location is more than 100 years old. It's a place to behold, as many stories have been told.
It's in a number of books, not only because it has great cooks, but it's a restaurant that hooks
like the curse of Marie Laveau; once you have a meal and go, you'll want to return before you know.
It's in a book by Anne Rice, and Tennesee Williams thought it was so nice, he had a table for his vice.
Of course, there's a book by me, written longhand outside patiently with members of the family tree.
We had been paid to wait for Friday Lunch, more like a drinking brunch; I did not witness the punch.
After we had left and walked, the guy who paid us straight up knocked out a guy, cold-cocked.
I guess he got out of hand. At Galatoire's, things are never bland; spur of the moments are not planned.
It's not a place that's rowdy, more where people smile and say howdy, a cheer on days that are cloudy.
The Friday before Mardi Gras was as wild as I ever saw, but the tradition was exception, not law.
See, that was before Hurricane Katrina, a storm as powerful as Athena, who turned like a ballerina.
It spurred expansion to the Baton Rouge location, incited aberration, and shook up traditional sedation.
No longer is the restaurant family owned. It's now corporate zoned, but it is not exactly cloned.
Some things have changed, as ideas were exchanged, but only small things were rearranged.
Now, there's no lines, as reservations were added to designs, but they still serve a number of wines.
In the 80's, they did away with hand-chipped ice. Hiring female servers was nice. Orders are precise.
Dishes like Chicken Rochambeau are served to those in the know; it's only as good as the chef though.
They still ask your preferred server. I like the ones with fervor with suggestions like a life preserver.
Why bother to open a menu? Let the server walk you through whatever you desire to drink and chew.
At Galatoire's, you can nearly throw a dart and blindly get food that melts your heart; it's like fine art.
Everything they make is good. One thing should be understood, recipes for over 100 years stood
the test of time, as they are simply sublime. I ordered a vanilla kamikaze with a fresh cut lime,
and a lady approached my table. "Pardon, but if I am able, I would like to clear up a little food fable.
The cooking artillery does not include garlic, onions or celery; there's no peppers or tomfoolery.
The Holy Trinity is not green. It's dark, if you know what I mean: chocolate, bourbon and caffeine."
She nodded at my cafe brulot. "Coffee, if you prefer though. Nice, black bottom instead of dough."
She pointed to the black bottom pecan pie. "Isn't it just to die?" She excused herself, saying bye.
It's the ambiance in the air; much is celebrated there, singing Happy Birthday more than their share.
Go there for a special treat, for comfort after defeat, or to gather regularly with friends to eat.
For me, it's not just a place I adore, but it's much more. There's things I don't have an answer for.
The centerpiece swings, tick-tock, a Fournier Civil War era clock, there before restaurant took stock.
It was there before it was sold, and that's just over 100-years-old, yet it still sounds regularly bold.
Fournier was my mother's name; the furniture builders are one in the same. It's the family tree game.
Acting like a child, I stuck out my tongue and smiled, "we was here first," trying to get him riled.
Clarisse Galatoire-Gooch's grandson is lots of fun with an artistic style that cannot be outdone.
He stayed in Michigan during the storm, luckily, when it was warm. New Orleans had to transform.
He went with me when I had to study in Florence, Italy, for my Johns Hopkins' Master's degree.
There's much Brad and I have been through, all sorts of hullabaloo, but he recently got his CSW.
He's well on his way to become a wine sommelier. Maybe he'll open a wine bar some day?
Still in school, it's still early, but you'll remember his mom, surely; she's by gates that are pearly.
Anne Gooch, may she be blessed as she lays in rest, helped with NOLA's Food and Wine Fest.
I remember looking up, as she held a measuring cup, explaining to me how to make simple syrup.
The old kitchen is still in my head, moment's vivid like a movie thread. Hard to believe she's dead.
Though it's sad that she's gone, some of her wine tasting lives on in her certified wine specialist spawn.
It's another star that shines from the Galatoire's storyline. They know their food and wine.
New Orleans is host to more than one ghost, but this restaurant is loved by more people than most.
On nights when it's foggy and blistery, ponder if there's a haunted mystery, keeping in mind history.
Do ghosts still frequent places they love, looking down from above or through the eyes of a dove?
On a night that's gusty, can Tennesee Williams see me, through a time warp with a skeleton key?
Take the Street Car Named Desire, dressed in sharp attire and order a cafe brulot for the show of fire.
Forget about the good old days, when men wanted a girl who plays, sneaking in from backdoor ways.
Who knows exactly what went on in an era that's foregone? Have you tried Crabmeat Yvonne?
Galatoire's has continually been cheered and even recognized by the revered James Beard.
Constantly winning awards and donating money towards community beneficiary boards,
it's regularly recognized as one of the best, so try everything is what I suggest, and you'll be impressed.
People fly in from far away - just to eat there, not to stay; they will private jet out on the same day.
Galatoire's has been there over a century, catering to the tastes of luxury; it's a gem in the treasury.
It's the setting of many a memory. As a momento mori, many happy customers live on in story.
Like words from regulars' toasts, being echoed as if by ghosts, from unsuspecting cheering hosts.
So, come celebrate at a place where the food is great, but there's not the famous line where people wait.
Reservations made it a thing of the past. Glad I wrote my book in that year last, as it was really a blast.
It's not ladylike, I know, but it was interesting though to be part of the Mardi Gras overflow.
That was the last year, then a storm would be so severe, they'd have a Baton Rouge premiere.
The storm rocked tradition, resulted in an expanding addition, securing their hospitality position.
In case you didn't see where Mike Anderson's used to be, it's now a steakhouse called 33.
It was named for the original address; the fact that it's my age is just a mess, but I'll try to not distress.
I remember what it was like when I worked there. It's a different vibe in the air. Can't help but stare.
I had mentioned before to buy the place next door, but we all knew it'd be a lot to restore.
It needed to come up to code, new bones in the abode, as its previously grandfathered in age showed.
The place was a total re-gut, down to the studs they cut; it's not the same, not even somewhat.
No more stained glass ceiling, but marble's tastefully appealing. It's a living room welcome feeling.
It's like sipping a drink in the study, chatting with a buddy, laughing and turning a bit ruddy.
Floor three is really the place for me, as it's like a small winery, with a different world on the balcony.
Of course, during Mardi Gras, sip on wine, or Stella Artois; throw some beads, and ooh la la!
Galatoire's 33 is everything I had hoped it would be, and I can hardly wait to see what Alibi will be.
Drink up there fast, as you don't know how long it'll last before it becomes another ghost from the past.
Galatoire's has planted roots to stay, so order up a bouquet and treat someone to a special day.
Devour oysters Rockefeller, even their spinach is stellar. Have your server probe the wine cellar.
Order up some Galatoire's hooch. Say hi to manager David Gooch and give his cheek a smooch.
Slurp on some turtle soup, share sides with people in your group, and become one who's in the loop.
See what all the fuss is about, try for yourself if it's worthy of clout, and add it to your regular route.
You'll see why people come out of their way to eat here during their stay or to celebrate a special day.
Still, the house account with a low number key, passed from generations, you see, so sip your chablis.
You can become a regular, too; dining regularly is all you have to do, and memories flood through.
Make it your favorite place, as the hospitality is ace, and sit in a time-warped space.
Sit where the famous sat, dine where movie stars dined at, and don't worry about the fat.
Forget about your diet at least long enough to enjoy a feast more opulent than Beauty and the Beast.
Only it's not magically refilling dishes, it's service knowing your wishes; stealthily refilling, swishes.
Enjoy the service of the French; sip a thirst quench and be able to taste the alcohol they drench.
A nice, stiff pour only ups the score on a restaurant you can't ignore. Galatoire's is the name to ask for.

Wagner, C C; Langer, O (2011). Approaches using molecular imaging technology - use of PET in clinical microdose studies. Advanced Drug Delivery Reviews, 63(7):539-546.
Full text not available from this repository.

Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging uses minute amounts of radiolabeled drug tracers and thereby meets the criteria for clinical microdose studies. The advantage of PET, when compared to other analytical methods used in microdose studies, is that the pharmacokinetics (PK) of a drug can be determined in the tissue targeted for drug treatment. PET microdosing already offers interesting applications in clinical oncology and in the development of central nervous system pharmaceuticals and is extending its range of application to many other fields of pharmaceutical medicine. Although requirements for preclinical safety testing for microdose studies have been cut down by regulatory authorities, radiopharmaceuticals increasingly need to be produced under good manufacturing practice (GMP) conditions, which increases the costs of PET microdosing studies. Further challenges in PET microdosing include combining PET with other ultrasensitive analytical methods, such as accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS), to gain plasma PK data of drugs, beyond the short PET examination periods. Finally, conducting clinical PET studies with radiolabeled drugs both at micro- and therapeutic doses is encouraged to answer the question of dose linearity in clinical microdosing.

In Greek mythology Urania was the muse of those arts and sciences that involve knowledge of the heavens and of man's relationship with them. Historically man's knowledge of the heavens has been embodied in the twin sciences of astronomy and astrology. From the 17th century onwards these have been regarded as separate and distinct subjects. Astronomy has concerned itself with the knowledge of the physical universe whereas astrology has explored the links between the cosmos and human life.The Urania Trust was founded as an educational charity on the 9th November 1970. The founding trustees were James Russell, Ada Phillips, Charles Harvey, John Addey and Tom Fripp.The aim of the charity, as set out in its trust deed, is "to further the advancement of education by the teaching of the relationship between man's knowledge of, beliefs about, the heavens and every aspect of his art science, philosophy and religion."At present the Urania Trust seeks to fulfil this aim by offering grants to individuals and organisations for publishing, translation, research etc. within its area of interest.The present trustees are Jonathan Powell (Chair), Babs Kirby, Lindsay Radermacher and Christeen Skinner.

This year will mark two milestones in the arts: the 80th birthday of Argentine saxophonist and composer Gato "the Cat" Barbieri, and the 40th anniversary of the release of Bernardo Bertolucci's provocative film, Last Tango in Paris, starring Marlon Brando and Maria Schneider.
This highly profitable motion picture has received an abundance of attention over the years, both good and bad, but the music, and especially Barbieri's theme performed on his characteristically growling tenor saxophone, is an undisputed classic.
Barbieri's score, arranged by Oliver Nelson, won Barbieri a Grammy Award and subsequent recording contract with Impulse Records. It placed him on the label sometimes called "the house that Trane built," for which Barbieri's idol, John Coltrane, recorded three-dozen albums between 1961 and 1967.
Barbieri has seen much of his recorded work re-issued over the years, and in 2002 he released The Shadow of the Cat, which includes guest appearances by trumpeter Herb Alpert and percussionist Sheila E.

Jan. 25, 2007
The UCLA men's volleyball team, tied for fifth in the national rankings, hosts the 30th Annual Kilgour Cup on Sat., Jan. 27 against USC (2-5, 1-3) in Pauley Pavilion.
First serve is set for 7 p.m. and FSN/Prime Ticket will broadcast the match on Sun., Jan. 28. All UCLA home matches are broadcast live (audio) on the uclabruins.com web page.
Several incentives will be offered, including a two-for-one ticket promotion available to patrons mentioning it at the box office. Also, fans who attended Arizona State or Arizona basketball games in Pauley Pavilion last weekend may use their ticket stub for free admission on Jan. 27. Finally, fans attending the UCLA-Washington women's basketball on Fri., Jan. 26 may use their ticket stub from that game for free admission to the Kilgour Cup.
The Kilgour Cup is the nation's longest-running volleyball benefit of its kind. Proceeds from the match are used to fund a scholarship in memory of Kirk Kilgour, a former UCLA volleyball legend and charter member of the UCLA Athletics Hall of Fame. The scholarship is awarded each year to a UCLA student with disabilities.
In his playing days, Kilgour, who died in 2002, set the standard for what has become the nation's most successful intercollegiate volleyball program. He lettered three seasons (1969-71) for the Bruins, earning USVBA All-America honors in his first year and NCAA All-Tournament acclaim in his final two seasons. As a dominating outside hitter, Kilgour led the Bruins to their first two NCAA championships (1970 and '71) and UCLA posted a combined record of 80-3 during his tenure.
A training accident in 1976 left him a quadriplegic, but did not diminish his enthusiasm for the game. For the rest of his life, Kilgour devoted a majority of his time to the sport of volleyball. He served as the color commentator for three Olympic volleyball telecasts, including the inaugural beach competition in Atlanta in 1996. He also served as Pepperdine's head coach for three years. In 1986, his No. 13 jersey was the first UCLA volleyball jersey to be retired.
Saturday's match marks the 13th meeting between UCLA and USC for the Kilgour Cup trophy. The Bruins lead the Kilgour Cup series against USC, 11-1 and the overall series, 84-30. At last year's Kilgour Cup against USC, the Bruins climbed back from an 0-2 deficit to win 3-2. That victory sparked a 14-match winning streak that saw the program win its 19th NCAA title.

Lens Cap Mea Culpa
I apologize if comments offended, comments about meds and replacement lens caps, these being a vital item you might misplace in the field, of value to protect your camera's lens, but not helpful in taking photographs.
My X-10's cap is still around. But it struck me that forum members might like to know there is an inexpensive substitute, an ugly white plastic pill container lid, 48mm internal diameter, that slides on 5mm and fits very tightly.
These must be available in the U.S. as the Canadian/U.S. patent numbers are marked on the inside, 952476 and 3627.160 respectively. Just trying to help!
Ask anyone over 60 how's it going and they'll tell you 'so far, so good!'

Bay Area Cabaret presented Chita Rivera who kept the packed Venetian Room at the Fairmont Hotel laughing at her Broadway antics and anecdotes, the 80 year old show stopper a dazzling dancer at 80 and kicking up her red high heels and flashing sequins. Wear your own shoes, that's her motto.
She opened the show by expressing her appreciation for the male persuasion and all the fabulous men she's worked with. That February Sunday the men would include a live trio of musicians who played her straight men on stage. Michael Croiter, Michael Patrick Walker and Jim Donica.
Come on baby, I know a whoopee spot
She ran through composers and choreographers too besides naming singing actors such as Dick Van Dyke and Donald O'Connor, naming Bob Fosse, Bernstein & Sondheim, even Ricardo Montalban and Antonio Banderas. Liza Minnelli is a long-time friend who would end up playing the daughter of Chita's character in a film. That was "Anna & Angel" about an Italian mother left by her family to run a roller rink on her own.
Note Liza Minnelli will be appearing in San Francisco soon in her own solo show. One night only at Davis Symphony Hall, Friday, March 28 at 8 p.m.. She will perform with her musician ensemble and sing American standards.

Chita as she calls herself appeared ageless as she launched into her high energy show where she strutted through her career on the stage and in film. She set the stage by joking about being from the Golden Age as if it were another planet. It's just astounding to get this intimate visit with a Broadway legend so far from Broadway.
You didn't have to know her beforehand to love her. She shimmied and shook and performed some high energy campy and burlesque numbers as well as her mesmerizing signature song from 'Carousel' where she still goes convincingly psycho. Yes, she can act but she has the body and charisma of a dancer and moves like one. Yet, although she spoke a lot of the lyrics from her songs, her voice warmed up as the program went on, still sounding sultry and sexy, soft and whispery, sexy and youthful particularly by the time she got to mentioning her classmate Shirley MacLaine and playing a hooker. "She fell in love a lot" Chita said of her character.
Chita made a name for herself in the stage version of "West Side Story", which preceded the film.
She still has the legs and figure for performing the bawdy Camille Colette Fifi routine in which she dons a boa for the bump and grind and chews gum at the same time. She went on to perform a song from the play "Spiderman", demanding gimme gimme gimme love, let's make love; She worked toward the finale with a song from "Chicago" and a song written for her and Mary McCarty. It used to be controversial, the song about "class" or the absence of it.
The big finish came with a top hat and cane—the Broadway razzle dazzle type of cane that goes with a tuxedo. She put on a little jazzy soft shoe and mentioned Rob Marshall choreographed. The anecdote after that involved Catherine Zeta Jones who won the Oscar but Chita insisted Chita still had her vamp. The hip still works. So to prove it she went into an inviting "Come on baby, I know a whoopee spot". Indeed, it was the Venetian Room for Bay Area Cabaret.
Chita Rivera will perform in a dramatic new American musical this summer called "The Visit" and sang a song from it called "Love Alone". It will be an AIDS benefit.

Chita performed a second show at 7:30 that Sunday night after her 3:00 matinee.
Tickets ran $43 to $48.
The Fairmont offers a special buffet dinner at Laurel Court that comes with four hours of free parking for $40. Parking alone at the Fairmont and in the nearby lots on Nob Hill runs from about $38 to $56.
The One California bus runs to the Fairmont from Embarcadero Center. The cable car also runs from the beginning of Market Street to Nob Hill along California Street.
It's a tough ride for bicyclists but the bus can take two bikes. Those of sound wind and stout shoes may also walk up the steep hill from Powell Street BART at Union Square.
Bay Area Cabaret continues this 10th anniversary season with Judy Collins on March 15; Morgan James on April 6; Karen Mason in 'Secrets of the Ancient Divas' on May 18.
The Venetian Room is at 950 Mason Street atop Nob Hill in the Fairmont Hotel, San Francisco, California.

USA Today interviewed Michael Rooker about his time in the film as Yondu, saying he's "not a good guy, not a bad guy. There's hope and there's a heart inside Yondu." USA Today also debuted some really great photos of Rooker's version of the character.
Comic Book Movie has posted a new extended TV spot that gives a very good look at Ronan the Accuser.
In SuperHeroHype's interview with James Gunn, the director discussed how Marvel Cinematic Universe architect Joss Whedon helped shape the direction of the script.
"After I wrote the first draft of my screenplay everybody seemed to be very excited," Gunn told SuperHeroHype. "They seemed to really love the screenplay and Louis D'Esposito and Kevin Feige and everybody was coming to me and telling how great it was. Then Joss came in and Joss was happy, but he wasn't as happy as everybody else and I was like, 'Whoa man!' and he's like, 'Well I really loved this and this is great, and the story's been cracked, but you know I just really want there to be more 'James Gunn' in a script. There's things that are too conventional and I want more James Gunn in it.' I was kinda' like sittin' there and then Kevin and Lou were like, 'Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah' and I was like, 'All right, your funeral.' Then went home and I swear to God, I wrote a a 7-page scene where the guys are in the spaceship arguing about something and it's all dialogue and we're about to shoot it on Friday."
Opens August 1
New photos and a set video from Marvel & Netflix's "Daredevil" have debuted online, and while they're unofficial, both the video and photo give a pretty good idea of what to expect from the key scene of Matt Murdock losing his sight and gaining his radar sense. Check out both below.
According to "Arrow" executive producer Marc Guggenheim, the third season begins production today. Guggenheim even gave a tease of the season's first episode via Twitter.

It looks like Michael Douglas is still on board for "Ant-Man." The veteran actor will make an appearance at Comic-Con before heading to Atlanta in August to begin filming. While speaking with Collider, Douglas also elaborated on his earlier comments about Edgar Wright leaving the project earlier this year.
"He's a wonderful talent," Douglas told Collider. "It was very disappointing, yeah. It was a big disappointment and more so for him because he had a lot of years invested and he was really the one initially who got them to even consider it, you know, the screenplay that he wrote. I'm not the producer on it and I'm an actor for hire, and, you know, Marvel certainly has a pretty amazing track record, rightly or wrongly, so I think it just was that kind of combination where although they like the idea of the individual and somebody with Edgar's individual spirit and everything, maybe just collided with an operation -- I think they're all on relatively decent terms."
Opens July 17, 2015
"Hannibal" and "30 Days of Night" director David Slade has been tapped to direct the first two episodes of PlayStation Network's "Powers" adaptation. Slade will join showrunner Charlie Huston as executive producers for the first two episodes.

As a follow-up to yesterday's big rumor, it seems that if there is a fake script for "Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice" floating around, it wasn't written by Kevin Smith. The director took to his Silent Bob Speaks blog to clarify matters, saying that while he's had a lot of creative flow with screenplays, none of them have been a fake script for "Batman V Superman."
"C'mon, kids… No major studio would let a guy like me near their franchises -- even if it was for a dummy script meant solely to fool the news sites," Smith said on his blog. "The little I know of the flick beyond that I learned from some cats involved (though never BatFleck himself; as I've said a few times now on the Babble-On podcast, beyond email, I haven't spoken to Ben in years). Fun story, though."

Your body is a lot like your automobile…
The less you use it and the older you get the faster it begins to oxidize (rust) and break down.
In the beginning it's barely noticeable, but after a few months pass by of little to no use, it begins to take longer to get going and start up. Then of course the real problems set in and you have to take it to the mechanic (or doctor) to be fixed.
I think you get the point, but the fact is that many joint ailments or pain, including many cases of arthritis, can be tied in part to a stagnant body.
It's also not shocking why many people who are over weight tend to get arthritis as well.
We all know that nutrition plays a paramount role in maintaining proper body weight and health, but exercise often gets greatly overlooked. Without moving your body sufficiently each day you are allowing toxins to build up.
These toxins can lead to both being overweight and disease.
In order to protect your joints, health, and metabolism in the long run it is important that you follow a few general rules in terms of how you exercise:
1. Break a Sweat
What I mean by this is that your exercise routine should be challenging enough to cause you to begin to sweat. This doesn't mean you need sweat pouring off your body (which is not necessarily healthy), but you should be able to visibly see sweat forming on your skin.
This is important for 2 reasons. The first one is that it lets you know that you have achieved the right workout intensity. The second is that by sweating you are allowing built up toxins to be released from your body.
2. 80% Compound Movements
If at least 8 out of your 10 exercises aren't compound movements (multi-joint) then you are missing out on a lot of benefits. When you use multi-joint exercises like presses, pulls, squats, lunges, step-ups, and deadlifts, you are maximizing blood flow, hormone production, and the amount of muscle used during a single exercise. This leads to better health and a higher metabolism.
3. Use a Full Range of Motion
If you're already using compound movements then you just need to add one more element to your program. By using a full range of motion (R.O.M.) you are allowing your joints to move in the scope they were built to be used in. By doing this you will increase joint stability, increase blood flow to the joints, and strengthen the connective tissue. The bottom line is you'll be stronger, in better shape, and will feel great.
You'll notice that I did not include running into my general exercise recommendations for you. Although I've covered this in depth in the past I will briefly highlight why I don't recommend running UNTIL you get in shape.
1. Running is the same motion over and over… and over again. This leads to repetitive motion damage of the joints.
2. Damage to the joints while doing a repetitive motion task can occur when your body is not in proper alignment – and this is most likely going to be the case if you haven't been stretching regularly, sitting for most of the day, and not using full R.O.M. compound movements.
3. Running will not boost your metabolism in the long run like resistance based training can. You don't have to use heavy weights and you can start with just your own body weight.
These tips today will get you started on the road to easing joint pain, boosting your metabolism, and scraping some of the rust from your body.
I hope you enjoyed the recommendations and I'll talk with you soon!

Shadow Cuts, 2010, 5 min
Martin Arnold
Animation, Experimental, Films in Competition, Short Film
The first in a four-film series, Martin Arnold directs his deconstructive impulses to the heritage of Walt Disney. The result is a neurotic re-animation that comes to life in the darkness between images, where the viewer meets his dreams and demons. How much do we miss when we blink our eyes? Intense repetition and subtle variations evoke surprising nuances from existing film material. Through a stroboscopic effect, Mickey and Pluto seem to have become involved in a veritable flashing light relationship.
Directed by Martin Arnold

A selection of short films, featuring innovative new works in animation, documentary, experimental and independent cinema.

Dear Friends,
Have you noticed that the study of history and historical events is usually the study of the accomplishments of individuals? Sometimes individuals work in groups and sometimes they work alone. Neverthless, the truly great progress of mankind is usually based on individual progress -- those people who have taken a challenge to perform a task a little better, to teach someone else how to live a better life, to write down his findings in a book for the benefit of others, to put his life on the line to protect another's right to life or liberty, etc., etc.
How You Can Teach Correct Principles of Government
Nearly fifteen years ago, Dr. Skousen, the founder of NCCS, wrote an article entitled, Constitutional Questions to Ask Candidates. This article helped many people focus on issues of the day as they met with candidates for public office. It also provided a basis to discover which candidates could be considered constitutional.
Enclosed in this mailing you will find our updated constitutional questions to ask candidates. The first is entitled Ten Constitutional Questions to Ask Candidates for Federal Office, and the second is, Ten Questions to Ask Candidates for State/Local Offices. We have reworked the questions to reflect today's topics and have shortened the list so that a person can copy and distribution them easier.
What a great teaching opportunity for one person to undertake. If you have ever said to yourself, I am only one person, what can I do?, here is the answer. There is a lot of talk today about the Constitution and related issues. Now you can be a teacher! As you familiarize yourself with and ask these questions of candidates, you will be responsible for turning a sincere person into a real constitutionalist.
Winners of NCCS's First Annual Constitution Essay Contest for Youth
Our July newsletter announced a youth writing contest to be concluded on August 15th. NCCS is pleased to announce the following winners:
First Place -- Becky Kinmont of Perry, Utah. Essay title: The Event is in the Hand of God
Becky, who is 15 years old, begins her essay by writing, The Constitution of the United States of America! When these words are heard, many people think of trouble between the states, securing freedom, and the Founding Fathers. All of these things are very important, but one thing I believe we overlook is how it all came about--not just by luck but by the hand of God. After several examples of God's dealing with America's founders, she concludes by saying of the future of America that, ...the event is in the hands of God. Becky has been awarded the $200 first place prize.
Second Place -- Morgan Andrews of San Marcos, California. Essay title: The Making of America
Morgan, 14, points out that all throughout the history of the earth, there has been a need for freedom. Sometimes the world's inhabitants are able to enjoy that right, but all too often, the full extent of that God-given right has been withheld from them as far as the power of mortal man permits. After giving examples of the struggles of mankind to gain freedom, he concludes by noting, ...these men (the Founders) got together and made the Constitution of the United States of America so that the people in America and also the world could enjoy the right of freedom.... I believe that we the people should also do all we can to preserve this blessing of freedom, because it is so precious.... Morgan has been awarded the $100 second place prize.
Two Third Place winners--Hyrum Andrews of San Marcos, California with essay titled, Hip! Hip! Hooray and Jaimie Boston of Citrus Heights, California with essay titled, The Preamble
Hyrum, 13, began by writing, Hip! Hip! Hooray! The Revolutionary War is over! He then develops the thought that dealing with freedom was not all that easy. He tells the story of Washington's patriotic refusal to be made king and how eventually the constitution was written which ...set up a good government that is run by the people, the ones who will see the consequences of the decisions made.
Jaimie, 14, commented in her essay on each of the seven main points in the Preamble to the constitution saying, Honor, fairness, and equity is what the Founders wanted established among the people, a moral rightness that would stand up to anything.... It is up to every person in every generation to pursue and secure the great blessings that come from liberty.
Hyrum and Jaimie have each been awarded the $50 third place prize.
A hearty thanks to all who participated. Young people can lookforward to another contest next year.
I Am Only ONE - What Can I Do?
This is probably the most often asked question of those who attend NCCS seminars. Finally, a powerful reference/textbook is available through NCCS that answers that question in as much detail as you would like. Fred Holden, an ardent NCCS supporter who lives in Arvado, Colorado, has written an excellent book entitled Total Power of ONE in America. Its theme: I am ONE. I am only ONE. But I will do, what ONE can do. He then proceeds to give literally hundreds of suggestions, supported by examples, stories, facts, historical anecdotes, and exciting narrative, of what just one person can do to make a difference.
This book should be used as a high school or college textbook for the effective training of our young people! See NCCS's offering on the enclosed flyer.
