Fans of the hit ABC show Nashville and who isn't will have something to look forward to/
The ABC series will start off their third season with a live musical event that will be a part of the Sept. 24 premiere
The episode will feature two live performances from your favorite Music City characters and will be broadcast directly from the Bluebird Café. It will feature Will Lexington (Chris Carmack) singing "If It's Love" written by The Striking Matches.
The second is by Deacon Claybourne (Charles Esten) singing "I Know How To Love You Now," co-written by Esten and Deana Carter.
They will absolutely be live performances, so east and central coasts will enjoy the first live appearances, and when it comes time for the west coast to join in on the country music fun the Nashville stars will perform them live again.
"We want people to know what it's really like," said Callie Khouri show runner for Nashville explained . "The live music here is such a huge presence in our show that we thought maybe we could find a way to share with the world what that feels like for real."
Truly an unprecedented idea for an amazingly wonderful show with a ridiculously talented cast..
Don't miss the live musical performances when Nashville premieres it's third season on Wednesday, Sept. 24 at 9 p.m.

The Steve Danon Race for Supervisor – Restoring The Public Trust
During the past few years, public trust in government has deteriorated—and rightfully so. Leaders at all levels of government have thrown fiscal restraint out the window and prioritized their own political interests above the public good. And frankly it makes the job much harder for those of us who haven't!
Now, more than ever, we need candidates for office who promise to restore public confidence in our elected officials.
Fortunately, the voters of the Third District in the race for County Board of Supervisors have the opportunity to vote for such a candidate this November.
Steve Danon is that candidate. Not only does he have a platform that will reform the way our county government conducts business, but he has the experience and record to assure us that he can deliver on his promises.
To begin with, Danon has promised to eliminate the $5 million slush fund that county supervisors use to play political favorites in their districts. These are taxpayer dollars that County Supervisor's currently have the discretion to spend on any programs or services they desire—without accountability, transparency, or a vote.
Steve knows this is not a responsible use of hard-earned tax dollars. He knows that government services and projects should be implemented based on merit—not political favoritism.
Danon has also called for a regional Ethics Commission that would hold our elected officials accountable for breaches of the public trust. The committee would act as the public's watchdog and enforcer, adding greater transparency and accountability to government.
Danon's outline for reform is crucial. Yet, his campaign platform has multiple planks.
As someone who founded his own small business and gained experience working in both the private and public sectors, Danon has developed a thorough understanding of the requirements for job creation and growth.
That's why he plans to cut red-tape for job creators and reduce the 5-10 year time period it takes to relocate or expand a local business. Alone, these two impediments to job creation have stunted significant job growth for our region.
Beyond that, Danon also opposes any increases in taxes or fees. His opponent in this race, meanwhile, has consistently voted in favor of fee increases in Solana Beach to balance a budget. Danon knows that the last thing small businesses and working families need is a tax or fee increase and he'll stop at nothing to ensure the County budget isn't balanced on the backs of taxpayers.
Don't take my word for it. I am not the only local leader to endorse Steve Danon's campaign for Supervisor. I've been joined by dozens of other community leaders and organizations we trust. The list includes the mayors of every city in the district including San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders, and both the Union-Tribune and North County Times newspapers. Danon is also Law Enforcement's choice, and is endorsed by the Deputy Sheriffs Association and San Diego Police Officers Association.
I have great confidence that, once elected, Steve Danon and his pro-reform, pro-job growth platform will become a role model for good governance.

You would know why the people have lost trust in government!
Rino, do I know you? I don't know Jerome. I do know Steve Danon. None better. None. I'll terminate my Cal PI license and smash my retired badge if that is not the case. I don't hide behind a moniker and I fear no political hack in this county.
Slater needed to change her high gloss lipstick. Danon will be top dog on the board. As I am a retired County Badge, I am vested in this county. Big time. As a veteran, I want the military brotherhood looked after.
Roberts and Cox are not veterans. However they, like Danon, respect our service. Bill is Semper Fi, what can I say but HOOAH. The UVC will concur. Danon has done so much for the UVC, as Roberts staffer that I can only SHOUT OUT. Danon is our man. Roberts, Horn and Cox are the best. Best for the County, best for the Vet.
Speaking for myself, anyone associated with Jerome Stocks is only increasing the distrust of government, not restoring any trust.
Why Danon would choose someone so shady, who's skeletons have finally escaped the closet so clearly to be involved in his campaign shows a serous lack of judgement.
It should come as no surprise when Jerome is voted out on election day, just as it will come as no surprise when his hit mail pieces land in our mailboxes the week before the election.
Eddie, I couldn't agree more with your pre-election views on Stocks, and Steve Danon, by extension. It is now post-election and your forecasting was most accurate.
Encinitas voters smacked Jerome Stocks around like a narc at a biker rally, yet still his poison pen continues attacking those who had beaten him. This is the kind of man he is, and it largely flew below the radar of most citizens here until the past four years. He became condescending with power. Yeah, one of those kind of guys.
Steve Danon, you may well have won this election but for your naive choice of aligning yourself with Jerome Stocks, one of the most disliked and divisive pols ever to grace the San Diego County political scene. But I'm sure you know that by now. You handicapped yourself hugely. Better luck next time. You can tell a lot about someone by who they hang around with, my mom used to tell me. Que lastima.

The doctoral program in economics offers a firm grounding in the theory and tools of economics as well as in a variety of fields of specialization. Facilities within the department include faculty and student offices, a library of core materials, and a computer center. The size of the department, the breadth of specialties represented among the faculty, the abundance of research workshops, research facilities, and the related programs of other university departments combine to provide an unusually supportive atmosphere for study and research. Students are encouraged to work together; study groups for course work and preliminary examinations are standard. All students are assigned desk space. The department and students sponsor social events throughout the year. A graduate advisor is on staff to help students with problems and questions.
The goal of the Economics Ph.D. program at the University of Wisconsin is fundamental and simple: To train top notch economists. Graduates of our program are fully prepared to undertake advanced research in economic theory, econometrics, and applied branches of economics. Our graduates successively apply the knowledge and skills gained in our program to a wide range of economic problems in a broad array of institutional settings. Our success in this is evidenced by our strong national reputation and our placement record. We accomplish this by maintaining a comprehensive and challenging program combining coursework, examinations, seminars, and independent research, which all culminates in the completion and defense of a doctoral dissertation.
During the first year of the doctoral program, students must acquire a thorough knowledge of microeconomic theory, macroeconomic theory and econometrics. The nature of this material demands that entering students have considerable mathematics skills, at a minimum including complete facility with the basic tools of multivariate calculus, linear algebra and mathematical statistics.
The department holds seminars for first-year students that feature faculty presentations. The presentations provide first-year students the opportunity to meet the faculty and learn about research in each field.
The department offers seven fields of study.
Information on each field can be found at the major field information website.
There are four main milestones on the path through the Economics doctoral program: the preliminary examinations, the field paper, the three-signature proposal, and the final oral examination. More information regarding the Ph.D. program and each program milestone is available at the Doctoral Program Guidelines
From the second year onward, students are expected to register for the workshop in their major field. Workshops provide students with the opportunity to hear research presentations by both internal and external speakers and can serve to suggest topics for dissertation research. More information on workshops is posted at the Workshop information website.
Admission to the doctoral program in Economics is a shared process at UW-Madison. The admissions and aid committee at the Department of Economics will evaluate your application and make a recommendation to the Graduate School regarding admission. For more detail information on the admission process, where to send or submit each part of the application, visit the Application checklist web page.
If your application is paid by December 5th, you will automatically be considered for funding for the first year of study. Funding is awarded on a competitive basis. Please see the Funding information webpage for more detailed information.
We no longer mail print material on the PhD program. Please see our website for information about the program and application process. Feel free to view the pages listed to the left and contact us (firstname.lastname@example.com) if you have additional questions.

Praying the 'Vatikin' Service at the Western Wall
From every corner the sounds of prayer and song rose in the wee hours Wednesday morning as Jews prayed the 'Vatikin' service at the Western Wall.
By Hana Levi Julian & Yoni Kempinski
First Publish: 9/29/2010, 3:54 PM / Last Update: 9/29/2010, 4:06 PM
Thousands rose early to pray the 'Vatikin' service in the wee hours of Wednesday at the Western Wall in Jerusalem's Old City.
The service is conducted each year at about 5:00 a.m., traditionally thirty minutes before sunrise, on the holiday of Hoshana Raba -- the seventh and final day of Sukkot, considered to be the final day of Divine Judgment.
From every corner, the sounds of prayer and song rose from dozens of groups gathered in various areas throughout the Western Wall plaza, each in accordance with its own traditions.

PR progress report
Post by Halima Amin, Waves PR intern working on the changes to, and rebrand of, the thupr – (Tools That Help Us, PR) events
What a buzzing week at Waves! Although this is to be expected a mere week before our next meet up (Mobile apps, 16th Sept).
Whilst this first meet up has really had me in the teething process of the PR world, it has only left me with much more confidence for meet ups to come. The dead ends and the glorious leads alongside the creative power given to me by Claire have all made up my experience so far. Working on a new logo, name, format and means of communication is as exciting as it is challenging.
Even small mistakes I've madem such as re-calling a speaker working under a different brand for confirmation has ended well, with offers of possible future work!
After compiling a list of developers in London and making contact with every one, I realised the challenges of networking and making strong contacts.
For every dead end and mistake I have found there is opportunity, and nothing that can't be solved with a little patience. Speaking to app developers like Mobank who encompass the diverse and changing face of app uses has really helped me to understand the enormous growth in the market itself.
Of course, without Claire's advice and reassurance I would really be struggling to even get into the swing of things.

I think Halima's been a bit generous – but I guess the first rule of business is be nice to the boss – at least to their face!
Halima has got on and done what was needed doing and rung around lots of app developers for our event.
Anyone doing media or blogger relations will know that this kind of 'cold calling' is tough – you have to be prepared for the call and take the knockbacks.(I actually enjoy this part of our job – many relationships that start this way turn into friendships over time).
Halima's done a great job, as you can see from the agenda, with more people to confirm on Monday or Tuesday next week.

Latest update June 30th, 2016 12:59 AM
Jan 15, 2013 Features / Columnists, Peeping Tom Comments Off on THE POOREST OF IMITATIONS
The Main Big Lime saw a change last December. It became a more family-oriented event and this was a very good development because it allowed the entire family to be part of the event which was also held over a longer period.
Congratulations should be extended to the Minister who was responsible for these changes which went down well with the public, or at least those keen on family-oriented type of public entertainment.
The next big festival is Mashramani and it is time that this entire event also has a complete make-over to make some of the events, such as the Float Parade more family-oriented.
One of the disconcerting things about last year's Float Parade was the sight of a mother having to cover the eyes of her children for fear that they would see some of the lewd gyrations that were taking place by some of the revelers. Some of these revelers left little to the imagination.
The vulgarity needs to go. If it is allowed to continue, then the organizers should make the event an X-rated one and ask that children not be allowed along the Parade route.
The Float Parade needs to become a family -oriented event. Those who want to engage in sexually suggestive gyrations should have the freedom to do so, but please make that a separate event, one that would not be family oriented.
Every year the vulgarity seems to be getting worse. Each year, the revelers try to outdo each other and outdo the performance of the previous year. By the next five years, the reveler may well end up dancing naked on the streets and this may even by them become acceptable because each year the costumes seems to be getting skimpier and skimpier.
There are some things not for family and the way the Float Parade and Costume Competition is organized it should be restricted to adults. There should be separate events organized which would appeal to the family.
Mashramani is supposed to be the celebration of Guyanese culture but the way the events have been organized mimic what is done in Rio and what is done in Port of Spain. It is not our duty to copy what other nations are doing. We should come up with our own festivals for Mashramani.
One good idea is to have a food festival catering for the cuisines of the various ethnic groups in Guyana, each of which have their own individual dishes. Now that is something which can be branded and become a tourism attraction because it would be a case of Guyana doing something different to celebrate its national day.
For the adults there can be a beverage festival which will allow Guyana to showcase the various liquors and wines. We can have a sports festival in which all of the major sporting associations can put on major competitions featuring the best in the Caribbean.
Years ago there used to be a music festival. And today we have had in Guyana drama festivals and visual arts festivals. All of these things can be timed to coincide with Republic Day.
No one is asking for the calypso competition and the chutney competitions to be discarded. These can be continued but an effort should be made to raise the standard of these competitions perhaps by inviting a few foreign artistes to be part of the event.
We need to really sit down and decide just what our National Day means and try to develop an attractive series of events to commemorate February 23.
We are just fooling ourselves into believing we have something here that is going to be a big attraction. What passes off for the Mash Parade each Republic Day makes us the laughing stock because when compared with the carnivals in Rio and Trinidad, our Mash Day celebration is an embarrassment. It is the poorest of imitations. At least if we are copying from the Trinidadians and the Brazilians, let us at least try to come as close to the standards they have.
But we do not need to be copying anybody. If after forty-three years of Republican status we still cannot come up with our own ideas as to how to mark our Republic Day, then it means that really we really do not know what this day is supposed to be and therefore before we begin to plan anything, what is needed is some serious reflection as to what does this day mean to the people of Guyana- all the people of Guyana.

Expert Help"I'm not getting older, I'm getting blonder" used to be the mantra of women over 40. But sultry brunettes like Teri Hatcher and blonde/brunette betweeners like Diane Lane and Calista Flockhart make a good case for staying closer to our roots.It's hard enough choosing a lipstick, let alone a 24-7 cosmetic like hair color, without a little expert advice. The color pros on our panel have a waiting list of clients stretching from New York to L.A., but here, their attention's on you — and on your top questions about color selection and maintenance.MORE's Color ExpertsBrad Johns Avon Salon and Spa creative director and consultant to ClairolBrian Keller Frederic Fekkai Salon and Spa, Palm BeachLouis Licari Louis Licari, New York and Beverly HillsBeth Minardi Co-owner, Minardi Salon, New York CityLouis Viel Co-owner, Miano Viel Salon, New York CityJoel Warren Co-owner, Warren-Tricomi Salon, New York CityThe Fine Art of Being a BlondeQ. I went blonde at 20 for fun, then even lighter at 35 to soften lines and brighten me up. Is this my lifelong shade?A. "Hair color should be fun, not a jail term. A good colorist varies the color as you age. Your skin loses pigment, and the amount of gray affects coverage techniques and formulas. You're also dealing with textural changes, like thinning (from hormonal changes) or increased coarseness as your percentage of gray rises. You should always adjust your hair color — going warmer as your skin gets paler, or changing to formulas designed for your current level of gray." — Brad Johns Q. I don't mind my roots showing, but it looks more chic on 20-year-olds than it does on me. What do I do?A. "Layered cuts take the fear out of roots. Bangs, pieces, and a choppier effect help blur boundary lines so you don't see obvious regrowth at the hairline or part, like you do with bobs and blunt cuts." — Joel WarrenA. "A perfect one-color look at 40 can appear unnatural. A little darkness at the roots is not bad at all. In fact, coloring roots a half shade darker is a pro trick to create depth and realism when skin tone and hair color are very similar." — Louis LicariQ. My hair color is washing me out. I've been self-tanning or adding more blush to compensate. What's wrong with my color?A. "It's probably too ashy, too white, or too beige. When your hair begins taking on the hue of expensive fur, tell your colorist to brighten it, warm it up. Show her pictures of Sheryl Crowe, Kim Cattrall, and Christie Brinkley." — Brad JohnsA. "Very light blond color can wash out some complexions, especially olive or deep honey — going too platinum can age you 10 years." — Beth MinardiQ. Will going blond flatter wrinkles and fine hair?A. "Going softer in color, not necessarily lighter, flatters textural changes in maturing skin and hair. Sometimes a few highlights are all you need, but blonding creates less contrast between scalp and hair, making it a good option if your hair is thinning. Combining several shades of highlights — soft golden blond, light buttery blond, and strawberry blond, for example — has a cosmetic effect on skin that's pale, sallow, or lined, but the right mix depends on your skin tone. Ask your colorist to use a range of highlight shades, not just one." — Louis VielQ. How blond is too blond? What's the boundary between classy and trashy at 40?A. "Most women want to look sunny and radiant, not punked-out. Women in their early 40s tend to ask for gold — they're more into the sun-kissed surfer blonde ideal. Women in their 50s, who first got hooked on blonding with frosted streaks, ask for champagne or cool, ashy blonde. I think everyone looks better in warmer golden tones, though." — Brad JohnsQ. My highlights don't blend away my grays like they used to. Sometimes my hair looks gray-blond right after a touchup.A. "It's time to add a single-process color to your base. You can still highlight over that, but the overall color underneath will add more coverage." — Louis LicariStaying Brunette, and Loving ItQ. My Demi Moore-like hair has always been my signature. Now, at 40, it's hard-looking (and thinner) instead of hip. Should I give it up?A. "No.

In case you missed it, every judge is leaving every show, pretty much.
On the "hurting" (in quotes because it's still performing quite well) American Idol, Randy has officially jumped ship, and the other judges, save J-Lo, are also rumored to be leaving. Word on the street is Fox and the producers are thinking about really shaking things up in 2014. Can you say "all alumni panel?" You can! Excellent, because it it might be an all alumni panel.
The all-star names being tossed around? Jennifer Hudson, Clay Aiken, Adam Lambert, and Kelly Clarkson so far. (Idol diehards might recall Kelly literally swapping seats with Randy at her first audition.) We're sure rumblings of Katherine McPhee, Jordin Sparks, and Carrie Underwood will eventually surface if those don't pan out.
We dig the whole "students becoming teachers" angle, but will their former experience make them too soft and emotional? Every panel need a "Simon," so Lambert oughta brush up on his bitchy banter.

A thin female Gap model – very thin – is causing clamor on social media this week. The brunette model is styling a rather frumpy looking plaid dress, but the design of the clothing is not the issue. It's the rail thin body that the dress is hanging on. And Gap is hearing about it big time. Call it shaming the slim.
Here's the initial pic:
Dress up your days in pastel plaid. #since1969 http://t.co/MahfoxlM5i pic.twitter.com/xWWSxyImnA
— Gap (@Gap) August 4, 2014
Cosmopolitan wrote a commentary piece that was picked up by MSN Living. Entitled Dear Internet lynch mob: Thin-shaming is not OK, Amy Odell writes:
All Gap wanted to do was promote a plaid shirtdress. It's easy to say or do the wrong thing on the Internet, but surely this couldn't be one of those times, a clothing brand posting a photo of a model in one of its pieces. Fashion labels do this every day! Bloggers do this every day on Instagram! And so the brand shared a seemingly innocuous image on Twitter of a model wearing the garment.
But the pic has launched a ferocious spat of opinions between those who say models portrayed to the public should either be plump and paunchy, slim and trim, or somewhere in between. Should a girl that is arguably emaciated looking represent the fashion standard for Gap's demographic customer base, namely: young teens?
"Our intentions have always been to celebrate diversity in our marketing and champion people for who they are," Gap Inc. spokesperson Edie Kissko said. "Upon reflection, we understand the sensitivity surround this photograph. Customer feedback is important to us and we think this is a valuable conversation to learn from."
Gap removed the model under the dress, instead hanging the dress on a hangar in subsequent online ads. As commenters pointed out – there wasn't much difference.
The debate has started a Twitter war of words. In one camp are the defenders of the model, who say that she may simply be naturally-thin, and that "thin-shaming" is no better than mocking those that are overweight. Others say that because many models are already unrealistically thin and do not represent the average woman, fashion companies should shy away from promoting lanky, skeletal models that instantly make one think they have an eating disorder.
A sampling of the comments:
Seriously, @Gap? In what world do people look like this? Perhaps you could select models who represent regular gals & not a Skeletor ghost. — AgnesLoo (@LittleLadyLH)
@Gap @AndreaKcc Doesn't the Gap feed it's models? Seriously she looks ill. Please use healthy looking women in your ads next time. — Katie (@KJ041912)
@Gap Eating disorders are deadly diseases. This model needs help, promoting thin ideal is dangerous. Disappointed, Gap. — faith kandel yesner (@faithngd)
@Gap @SterlingJoy94 When will our culture stop calling ALL thin women anorexic? This is a common body type. These comments are appalling.— Sarah Chamberlain (@SBChambe)
@upendi5 why are you allowed to say "she needs a hamburger" but someone can't say "she needs a salad"? The double standards blow my mind — ansel pls
@Gap stand up for this model. There are real women who wear size 0, like me, we don't have an eating disorder. Why is being skinny taboo? — Alexis Bogobowicz (@AlexisBogo)
Where do you fall on this debate? Do you think this model is too skinny, or are commenters being far too critical? Sound off below.

College Hockey:Patterson turns aside all 17 as Minnesota tops Vermont
MINNEAPOLIS — If first impressions truly count for something, Minnesota made a lasting one on Vermont on Friday in the first-ever meeting between the schools.
Nick Bjugstad scored twice for the Gophers and Kent Patterson made 17 saves for his third shutout in five games as No. 8 Minnesota rolled over the Catamounts, 6-0, at Mariucci Arena.
Zach Budish chipped in a goal and two assists against Vermont (0-1-0), while Kyle Rau (goal, assist), Jake Hansen (two assists) and Erik Haula (two assists) each had two points for the undefeated Gophers (5-0-0), who are averaging over six goals per game.
"They're an excellent team," said Vermont coach Kevin Sneddon. "I think they've got a lot of mojo going right now. They're a confident bunch."
The Gophers chased Vermont goaltender Rob Madore in the second period of the senior's 100th game after 14 saves and five goals. Backup Alex Vazzano entered in relief and stopped 18 of 19 Minnesota shots.
"He didn't play well," said Sneddon of Madore. "A couple of goals I thought were kind of soft, but we certainly left Rob out to dry on the first three I thought."
Sneddon said Madore's play was just one of the problems plaguing the Catamounts on tonight.
"Quite frankly, I think a lot of our guys kind of lost the game before we hit the ice," said Sneddon. "I don't know that we were afraid or fearful of making mistakes or what not, but there wasn't much to our game tonight from the net out. Our go-to players didn't show up."
Just as he did two weeks ago in his collegiate debut against Sacred Heart, Rau wasted little time giving Minnesota a lead it would never relinquish just 44 seconds into the game. Hansen carried the puck out of the left corner and threaded a pass out front to Rau. who out-waited Madore before firing the puck past the sprawled Vermont goaltender.
A little under three minutes later, Sam Warning completed a picture-perfect, tic-tac-toe passing play with Hansen and Haula to put the Gophers up 2-0.
After giving up 100 shots to UMD last weekend, Minnesota's defense stiffened significantly against Vermont, giving up just 17 shots.
"I think our gaps were better tonight," said Minnesota head coach Don Lucia. "I think they used each other better. Obviously, you have a bit more time in a bigger rink and that helps.
"I thought defensively we did a good job of getting into the (passing) lanes and not giving outnumbered rushes and Kent cleaned up anything that he saw, so it was a good team win for us."
Vermont actually settled down as the first period went on, even harnessing a territorial advantage for a time, but Bjugstad's first goal of the game at 15:26, using Rau as a decoy before muscling a wrist shot through Madore's legs, restored Minnesota's stronghold on the game and the Gophers led 3-0 after one.
Second-period goals by Taylor Matson. Bjugstad, and Budish doubled Minnesota's lead heading into the third period. Bjugstad's second of the game at 9:52 of the second gave the Gophers at least five goals in five straight games to start the season. That hasn't happened since Minnesota began the 2001-02 campaign scoring five or more in eight straight en route to an NCAA title.
Patterson wasn't tested much as the Catamounts managed just six shots over the final two periods. Despite the lack of work, though, Patterson said he has his own method for maintaining focus.
"I always try and talk to myself, as weird as it sounds," said Patterson. "I just make sure I'm mentally involved. Sometimes I take mental breaks, but you've got to be able to have that ability to pull yourself back in the game when the rush is coming down on you."
By shutting out the Gophers in the third period, Vermont did manage to halt Minnesota's consecutive period scoring streak at 15, including last Friday's overtime in Duluth.
When asked what needs to change for the Catamounts to turn things around in Sunday's rematch, Sneddon simply said, "Everything."
"In all honesty, it's not an X's and O's thing," said Sneddon. "It's we got beat to every loose puck, we got beat on one-on-one battles, our power-play guys were certainly not focused and thinking clearly, and we certainly need better effort out of the net. I'm looking forward to how our team responds and fortunately, we get another crack at them on Sunday."
The series finale was scheduled for Sunday due to Minnesota's homecoming festivities this weekend.

Aqua Aerobics
Tuesday, July 4, 2006
Additional Resources
Aerobic exercise has many health benefits. It improves circulation, enhances lung function, and makes the heart stronger. Aerobic (or cardiorespiratory) exercise burns calories and aids in weight reduction. For those who have lost weight, regular exercise has been shown to be crucial in the maintenance of weight loss. Cardiorespiratory exercise also has other benefits, including reducing the risk of diabetes, lowering blood pressure, and elevating ""good"" blood cholesterol (HDL). Being physically active improves mood and sense of well-being.
When choosing a form of exercise, many people reflexively consider activities done on land, such as walking, jogging, running, biking, hiking, etc. Many individuals, however, may find exercise in the water preferable and more enjoyable. Among others, this includes those who are overweight, persons with arthritis, and pregnant women. There is a special property of liquids known as buoyancy that makes exercise in the water easier on joints than on land. Buoyancy is an upward force that counteracts gravity. Because of it, you weigh less in the water than on land. Some individuals may weigh up to 90% less in the water than on land. Therefore, it is easier to perform weight-bearing activity in the water. Less weight means less impact on joints. Pool exercise is less likely to aggravate arthritis. It can be a good exercise choice for overweight individuals, especially those who are new to exercise. Pregnant women may find exercise water activities such as swimming and group aquatics fun and a good way to maintain fitness.
Also, the cool water in the pool can help prevent the rise in core body temperature that can occur with traditional land exercise, especially during summer months. Rise in core body temperature is a consideration for pregnant women. Since such rise in temperature is less like to occur in the pool, water exercise is a good way to stay active during pregnancy. For individuals with multiple sclerosis, an elevation of body temperature can temporarily produce a flare of symptoms. Pool exercise is therefore a good choice for individuals with multiple sclerosis.
Finally, pool activities are a good way to cross-train and add variety to an exercise regimen. Exercise in the pool can be separated into those activities performed horizontally, such as swimming, and those performed vertically, such as walking in the water. Both forms of exercise in the pool (swimming and vertical movements) have health benefits, and they train muscles differently. Group aquatic classes are available and can be a fun and social way to be more physically active. These classes may make use of paddles or other devices to add resistance and increase intensity, allowing for muscle toning in addition to cardiovascular training.Check out the following links for more information about swimming and aqua aerobics:

FORT KENT - In the afternoon on Feb. 19, a 2012 Polaris snowmobile owned by Dustin Plourde of Fort Kent ended up in the St. John River near St. Francis.
Plourde was able to get out of the water with help from the group of snowmobile riders traveling with him.
District Game Warden Jeff Spencer said, "He was very lucky to get out, with the temperature of the water and the speed of the current at that location. Sometimes people aren't so lucky."
Warden Spencer said the group was crossing the open panel when something happened, and the snowmobile sank into about five feet of water. Part of the snowmobile's handlebars is still visible, sticking up out of the river.
Not only is driving a snowmobile across open water dangerous, it is illegal. Spencer said seven or eight years ago, the legislators changed the laws to make it a violation of state statute to operate a snowmobile on open water.
Spencer said one statute gives the violator 24 hours to remove the machine. If the machine is not removed within that time period, the Maine Warden Service may remove it for the owner at the owner's expense, and/or issue a summons to court. The state may also levy a fine of up to $500 and a minimum of $100. Multiple offenses will increase the severity of the punishment for violations.
Another state statute that law enforcement may apply for less hazardous offenses gives the owner 30 days after the violation, or 30 days after the ice goes out, to remove the machine. This law allows the state to levy a $200 fine, in addition to the cost of removing the machine.
No law enforcement official has filed any charges at this time.
"Snowmobiles, under the right conditions, can go quite a distance across open water. However, there are a lot of conditions that will also cause the machine to sink," said Warden Spencer. "It's not something you really want to be doing."
He said it's common for people to try it two or three times and to have no problems, but then for their luck to run out when conditions are no longer perfect. With all of the snowmobiling clothes needed for the sport and the fast current typically associated with open water in the winter, it can become quite difficult for a capsized operator to get out of the water. The situation can quickly turn life-threatening.
Warden Spencer pointed out that the water level is low in that location of the St. John River now because there are ice jams upstream. If Plourde leaves his machine in the water until after the ice melts, the water level will rise considerably, and it may become impossible to retrieve the vehicle within the 30 day window provided after ice-out.
He said if Plourde does not retrieve his machine within the required time period, the Maine Warden Service could file charges against the owner at that time. He said he thinks the owner is planning on trying to retrieve the machine this weekend.
going under water
Wow, it sounds like he was
People can get so brave when they think they can do something like snowmobiling on a river at an exciting level but they soon learn that it isn't wise.

All of this was logical to implement. I would like to see all of this in game sometime.
so it doesn't render any textures. But when you are rendering textures and when opengl is rendering in texture 2d mode, then this happens. (Yes, I understand you probably didn't get much of that)

Sophomore Azia Washington was 7-of-13 from the field for 14 points -- three off her career high.
Dec. 4, 2013
By Tyler Wooten
CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. -- The Saluki women's basketball team couldn't recover from a 15-2 run late in the first half as the Southeast Missouri State Redhawks rode that momentum to a 72-50 victory over SIU on Wednesday night at the Show Me Center.
After falling behind 18-8 with 13:01 to play in the first half, Southern (1-6) clawed back into the game and tied the Redhawks (3-6) 20-20 at the 6:32 mark. SEMO, however, responded with a 15-2 tear to close out the first half, and the momentum stayed in the Redhawks' favor as SIU was never able to come within 11 points the remainder of the game.
SIU gained two more stellar performances out of post players Dyana Pierre (12 points, six rebounds) and Azia Washington (14 points, eight rebounds, 7-of-13 FG), but there wasn't enough consistent production from the rest of the Saluki squad to be able to overcome the halftime deficit. The Salukis only gained 14 points out of its other three starters in addition to Pierre and Washington, and Southern's bench only contributed 10 points to the effort.
In addition to shooting 42.9 percent from the field, the Redhawks were able to capitalize off transition baskets early to wear out Southern's defense, which helped SEMO out-rebound the Salukis 53-33.
"If you don't hit shots and you don't rebound the basketball and you let kids get to the basket, you're going to lose the game, and that's exactly what happened," said SIU head coach Cindy Stein.
SEMO was superb off the dribble as the Redhawks notched five players in double-digit scoring. The Salukis were able to hold SEMO leading scorer Olivia Hackmann to two points in the first half, but Hackmann went 4-of-9 from the field in the second half for 12 points — including a 50.0 percent clip from beyond the arc.
"They've got some good players that can take it to the hole," Stein said. "We were just flat. We were a step slow in almost every area."
SIU and Coach Stein are coming off their first victory of the season at Central Arkansas on Monday (39-37), which meant a quick turnaround for tonight's matchup with SEMO.
"I hate to blame it on that trip because, honestly, if you play in the NCAA Tournament you've got to be able to play like that. You've got a day's rest — you better suck it up and go," Stein said. "We've got to show better toughness and resiliency."
Southern will have 12 days off to rest and recuperate when Eastern Illinois comes to Carbondale on Monday Dec. 16, with tipoff scheduled for 6:05 p.m.
"This is a team here that really wants to win, they just don't know how," Stein said. "They've just gotten beat over the head over and over again with losing, and we just gotta fight through that barrier. A lot of the stuff that we've got to deal with is mental. We'll continue to work with it. We're not gonna give up on this team."

In addition to having more features, Opera Mini is said to be much faster thanks to compression technology. In the above demonstration, Opera Mini loaded five pages in the time Safari loaded one. That boost in speed is most noticeable on slower networks, but since it compresses data by up to 90%, it could save users money, especially when it comes to roaming charges.
Once Opera Mini is available, do you plan to switch from Safari?

LONG BEACH, Calif. – Starting left-hander Brett Lilek went a career-long six innings and third baseman Dalton DiNatale matched his career high with three RBI to power the 18th-ranked Arizona State University baseball team to a 7-2 win over Wright State on Sunday at Blair Field in Long Beach, Calif.
Lilek (1-0) struck out five and allowed a pair of runs on just two hits to earn his first win of the season. He retired eight straight batters in the middle innings, and has allowed just four hits and struck out 12 in 10 innings across two starts this season.
Four Sun Devils (3-4) notched a pair of hits in the win, including DiNatale, who leads the team with seven RBI on the season. Second baseman David Greer scored two runs and recorded an RBI, and designated hitter RJ Ybarra added an RBI, two hits and a stolen base.
ASU scored four runs on a pair of hits and batted around in the top of the first as they jumped out to a 4-0 advantage. Right fielder Trever Allen led off the frame with a ground-rule double and came home on an RBI from Greer, whose grounder was mishandled by the Raiders' second baseman. DiNatale cleared the bases with a two-run double three batters later and stole third before scoring on another error by the Raiders.
The Raiders (2-4) cut their deficit in half, 4-2, in the bottom of the third after Lilek issued a bases-loaded walk and an RBI fielder's choice before he induced a groundout to third to strand a pair and end the frame.
ASU countered in the top half of the fourth with an RBI groundout by Ybarra and an RBI single by DiNatale to extend its lead back to four, 6-2.
Pinch hitter Nate Causey added to the Devils' lead, 7-2, with a sacrifice fly in the top of the ninth that scored catcher Brian Serven from third, who doubled and moved over on a groundout.
Freshmen right-handers Eder Erives and Hever Bueno combined to allow just three baserunners over the final three scoreless frames. Erives gave up two hits in the seventh and eighth innings, and Bueno walked one batter in the ninth.
WSU starting left-hander Robby Sexton (0-2) took the loss after conceding six runs, including three earned, in 4 2/3 innings.
Up Next
The Sun Devils head to Surprise, Ariz., Feb. 27-March 2, for the Sanderson Ford College Baseball Classic at Surprise Stadium, spring training home of the Kansas City Royals and Texas Rangers. ASU takes on Santa Clara on Feb. 27, Gonzaga on Feb. 28, Oklahoma on March 1 and Oklahoma State on March 2, and each game will begin approximately at 4:30 pm, or 50 minutes after the conclusion of the preceding spring training game.
Coach Esmay moved to 75-20-1 in non-conference games at ASU…ASU is now 5-0 all-time against the Raiders…freshman shortstop Colby Woodmansee made his first career start…DiNatale's three RBI set a single-game high for the Sun Devils this season and is the only Sun Devil this season with two multi-RBI games…Lilek has not allowed an extra base in 10 innings this season and has allowed just one (a double) in 30 career innings…the Devils were hit by four pitches, a season high.
Tip Your Cap To Packard Celebration
17 Days of Greatness – Centerfielder Mike Kelly (1989-91) will become the 17th Sun Devil to have his number honored on the outfield fence in a ceremony on March 8. From Feb. 20 through March 7, we're taking a look back at the 16 Sun Devil greats whose numbers have already been recognized.
Season tickets starting at $99, single-game tickets and Mini Packs are on sale now. Admission for ASU students is free with a valid Sun Card. Purchasing season tickets will also give fans first opportunity and priority at selecting seats at Phoenix Municipal Stadium in 2015. Ariz.

|Home > RNJ > 2005 > May/June > Guest Editorial: Wound Care: The Challenges Ahead
Guest Editorial: Wound Care: The Challenges Ahead
Knowledge of how wounds heal and are best managed has advanced rapidly over the past two decades. The understanding that guides care is founded on basic and clinical science combined with expert experience and opinion. Much has been learned about physiologic and biochemical differences between wounds that heal normally and those that do not. Yet, much remains to be understood to prevent wounds when possible and effectively treat healing complications and wounds that become chronic.
Further discoveries regarding the intricate pathways and cellular interactions involved in wound healing are on the horizon as technological capability advances. One example is the proposed application of gene array technology to identify at the molecular level the specific genes expressed during the healing process and pathogenesis of wounds that are chronic or slow to heal (Cole & Isik, 2002; Tomic-Canic & Brem, 2004). Basic research in genetic manipulation of wound cells is another area of wound-healing science that is moving forward rapidly, with the potential of up-regulating (turning on) or down-regulating (turning off) the production of specific growth factors and other proteins that are critical to wound healing (Petrie, Yao, & Eriksson, 2003).
Patient characteristics associated with poor healing outcomes, as well as local and systemic factors that help overcome obstacles to tissue repair, have been identified. Better understanding of promoters and inhibitors of healing has provided a basis for many new therapies. Wound treatment has advanced from the simple concept of wound protection to the application of dressings and topical treatments that interact with wound tissue or provide skin-equivalent coverings. Newer wound-care modalities aim to alter the local wound environment to favor healing through cell migration, replication, nutrition, tissue synthesis, and wound closure. Treatments designed to address a number of wound responses include reducing elevated bacteria and protease levels, increasing perfusion, and providing stimulatory signals (e.g., growth factors and tissue replacements).
Even with significant advancements in knowledge of healing and treatment options, however, wounds remain a major and costly healthcare concern. In the United States alone, estimates indicate that more than 1 million people suffer from chronic wounds (Bonham, 2003; Mastow, 1994).
To say that the physiology of healing and chronic wounds is complex understates the clinical reality faced by patients and the providers who care for them. The varied and specific attributes of individuals who have wounds, and the multiple etiologies of wounds themselves, add to this complexity. While wound care gains recognition as a specialty within the healthcare delivery system, wounds and related care concerns cross multiple disciplines, diagnoses, and populations. Difficult wounds to manage arise in all populations, including complex acute wounds, chronic wounds, wound infections, and wounds associated with disability, drug abuse, or specific diseases and injuries (e.g., diabetes, venous hypertension, and burns).
At the same time as we grapple with how to provide the best wound care to patients with complex needs, the importance of bridging the science-to-service gap by translating research findings to practice is receiving increased emphasis. Strengthening clinical research and translation is a major component of the NIH Roadmap (National Institutes of Health, 2005). It is clear that the work needed to advance clinical science and its practice application is not a quick, easy, or transparent process. While the rigorous design of randomized clinical trials protects the integrity of evaluating and establishing treatment efficacy, it may limit the application of findings to patients that are seen in day-to-day practice (Sidani, 2004). Nonetheless, nurses excel in their perception, understanding, and evaluation of issues that influence treatment effectiveness for individuals. Perhaps to a greater extent than in any other nursing specialty, these skill are highly developed in nurses who practice rehabilitation nursing.
It has been a pleasure to serve as the guest editor for this special issue of Rehabilitation Nursing. The articles selected for this issue address challenges and aspects of wound care raised in my introductory comments, specifically centering on wound assessment and management from the perspective of knowledge generation and application in the context of individual differences and vulnerability. Dr. Pieper focuses attention on salient socioeconomic factors that increase risk for poor healing outcomes and provides an approach to improving care for vulnerable populations. Pressure sores, which are prevalent and costly wounds among individuals with disabilities (Byrne & Salzberg, 1996), are the subject of two articles included in this issue. Dr. Brillhart describes the implementation of a successful program for the prevention of pressure sores in people with advanced Alzheimer's disease. Insight into four well-known evaluation tools for pressure sore healing and the refinement of these tools for monitoring persons with disabilities is provided by Dr. Mullins and her coauthors. Beth Hall identifies the unique clinical challenges and practice solutions for providing wound care to burn patients during rehabilitation. Dr. Kroll and coauthors address development of new knowledge in their discussion of the advantages of mixed-method research designs in rehabilitation nursing. Application of these designs to wound healing studies could provide valuable data on how environmental or personal factors and experiences affect healing and other important clinical outcomes.
I hope you enjoy and benefit from the content in this special-focus issue of Rehabilitation Nursing and find ways to apply what is presented to benefit your patients.

Wildcats Baseball Begins Fall Practice
Courtesy: BCUathletics.com
Release: 10/06/2012
"I think it's a very exciting time," said Head Coach Jason Beverlin, now in his second season leading the Wildcats. "All the hard work they've put in so far with individual workouts and in the weight room, it's going to pay off. It's been great to see how hard they work and how they go about their business, and I'm looking forward to seeing how that carries over onto the field."
The 2012 Wildcats secured a seventh consecutive MEAC Championship last May, earning another trip to the NCAA Regionals in Gainesville [Fla.], and finishing the season with a 34-27 overall record (18-5 in MEAC play).
The team graduated just five players, but was subject to post-first year attrition, bringing the total non-returning group to eight.
To compensate, Beverlin and his staff worked the recruiting trail across the region and nation the entire spring and summer, and the current roster shows the fruits of their labor. The 2013 team starts fall practice with 17 newcomers, eight from junior colleges, joining the returning roster of 14. With the loss of seven starters from last year, Beverlin is excited to see who will separate themselves before the regular season rolls around.
"The biggest question marks are the position players," Beverlin said. "We have a lot more competition than we did last year. As a result, there's going to be a lot of very good scrimmages and practices. It's going to bring out the best in all of them."
Numbers and talent are now luxuries that Bethune-Cookman has again, after playing 2012 with just 21 on the roster. The staff believes that the best on-field product is yet to come, with the impending fall battle for standing about to start.
"It's outstanding to have numbers because of the competition," Beverlin noted. "Any time you have to compete for your position and know it's not given to you, you're going to bring it every day."
B-CU will continue practices at Bethune Point through Tuesday, Oct. 9, before moving to their regular-season home in Jackie Robinson Ballpark throughout the rest of the fall season.
