Over-the-air FM radio is coming to a smartphone near you!
Manufacturers, wireless providers and broadcasters have teamed up to create NextRadio, a free app that powers an FM tuner that's built into many android phones.
Unlike streaming and webcasting, NextRadio works independently from a tiny embedded FM chip, plus it allows listeners to interact with songs, stations and even commercials once broadband wireless is added.
NextRadio is a dream come true for broadcasters, who have been pushing for embedded FM chips on smartphones to help local radio stay competitive in a marketplace teeming with streamed entertainment.
The smartphone, supporters say, can become the Walkman of the digital age.
National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) is promoting NextRadio with a website called RadioRocksMyPhone.com.
Emmis Communications, a national corporation and prime backer of NextRadio, partnered with Sprint Wireless to develop and market the concept beginning in 2013.
Since then, the partnership has more than 1500 stations signed up and using the powerful "TagStation" software that's the backbone of the system.
So far, NextRadio firmware is available on HTC, Blackberry and Samsung smartphones, and is also expected on Windows phones in the future. See a list of compatible phones here.
A NextRadio tie-in to car radios is expected at this year's Consumer Electronics Show, taking place this month in Las Vegas.
At the CES convention, Emmis will offer an in-car demo of a companion app "that visualizes over-the-air FM and HD Radio" in the dashboard.
It's being called a companion app because it can be used either with a smartphone or directly with a car's "infotainment" system, says Emmis CEO Paul Brenner.
A full video demonstration of NextRadio can be seen here.

When asked about their greatest challenges, they are quick to explain that they both came from the service businesses. "We never had to move a product from one location to another" says Irene. "Inventory, shipping, and distribution were all new to us, and to be honest, it's still a bit daunting."
And as for their greatest reward, that's simple "We're so relieved that the company is now financially sustainable and we can finally pay ourselves" says Joan. Effie's Homemade is on track to do a $1 million in sales this year.
What's next for Effie's? Joan and Irene have several ideas brewing for new products but one thing is for sure they will continue to build upon the company's reputation for unique baked good, always wholesome, always all-natural and always simply delicious.

College Hockey:UMass-Lowell Rallies Past Boston U.
Meunier Gets Game-Winner As River Hawks Keep Pace With New Hampshire
LOWELL, Mass. — UMass-Lowell head coach Blaise MacDonald didn't have to read the riot act in the locker room to inspire his team after they were one goal down after two periods. It was just the opposite.
"There was not one ounce of panic in there," said MacDonald.
Indeed, a simple clearing pass turned into a breakaway game-winning goal for Laurent Meunier as No. 7 UMass-Lowell came from behind to defeat No. 5 Boston University 3-2 at the Tsongas Arena Saturday night.
Lowell, which improved its record to 10-2-0, 6-2-0 in-conference, remained two points behind New Hampshire for first place in Hockey East.
BU (8-3-1, 3-2-1 HEA) came out of the dressing room flying. The Terriers had an odd-man scoring opportunity in the first 15 seconds of the game that didn't pan out. The hot start paid off minutes later.
Steve Greeley dug the puck out of the corner and circled to find a streaking Ryan Whitney. He pinched in from his defensive position and blasted home the first goal of the game past Cam McCormack. Whitney's second goal of the season came at 2:24 into the game.
It was the first goal given up by Lowell since an early third-period goal at UMass-Amherst on November 16, a shutout stretch of 140:45.
Lowell wouldn't wait long before striking back. A little over two minutes later, Peter Hay took a slapshot in the slot that was stopped by BU goalie Sean Fields. The rebound trickled off his pads and Tom Rouleau stuffed home the equalizer.
BU retook the lead midway through the second period. Brian McConnell's pass was a little ahead of Mike Pandolfo, but he reached out to one-hand tip the puck into the net. It was the 50th career goal for the BU captain.
Lowell had limited opportunities through the first half of the game but couldn't solve Fields. Yorick Treille had the best chance as he picked up the loose puck right in front of the BU net but was never able to get a shot off.
Lowell started its comeback halfway through the third. After Fred Meyer was whistled for interference, Lowell cranked the offense into gear. Ed McGrane collected the puck at center ice and rushed towards the net from the left side. McGrane's shot was stopped but Mark Concannon wristed home the tough angle shot to even the game at two.
"I believe the goalie had the puck covered and the defenseman knocked it out of his hands," said BU head coach Jack Parker. "I was pleased with the overall effort. I like my team but I don't like playing well and losing."
The Lowell comeback was almost complete. Kevin Kotyluk dumped the puck out of Lowell's zone towards center ice. The puck went over John Cronin's head and right to a streaking Meunier. He skated in and slid the puck behind Fields for the game-winner.
"I see the 'D' shot the puck off the window and I go pick up the puck," said Meunier of the game-winner. "We created good momentum in the second period. We are better physically at winning the loose pucks."
"It was a great college hockey game," said MacDonald." We bent and didn't break as we needed to. We got sharper as the game went on."
BU couldn't keep its early momentum throughout the game. The Terriers were outshot by Lowell, 12-3,in the final period and never really put together any solid scoring opportunities.
"As the game progressed, I don't think we played as well the second half as the first," said Parker. "All and all, I thought Lowell played well.
McCormack finished the game with 17 saves. Fields was credited with 23 stops.
Lowell is off to upstate New York next weekend for games against ECAC foes St. Lawrence and Clarkson. BU has a home and home series against UMass-Amherst.

Cheney's Chae Brown and Coreen Labish battle a pair of West Valley players for a loose ball Friday night.
Some of the Cheney girls' basketball team's woes last week can be boiled down to one word – injuries.
Injuries forced head coach Jennifer Harmer to jockey players around to different positions looking for working combinations on a squad that is dealing also with youth and varsity inexperience. Top it off with two of three games against the top two teams in the Great Northern League, and it was a recipe for three losses, four straight now for the Lady Hawks.
Chae Brown, Cheney's only returning starter from last year, saw limited duty in returning from a shoulder injury in the Lady Ha...

Is Science Fiction Dead?
A new friend on WEbook asked the question "Is Science Fiction Dead?" the other day, and it got me thinking.
Here is how I answered him:
"I don't think Science Fiction is dead, or even dying, I think it is changing. I would venture to guess that one reason people don't read as much SF now as they did in the 50's and 60's is because the world has nearly caught up to what those early pundits were talking about.
"I remember dreaming about the far future… the year 2000, and how different the world would. be. When I got there I was both startled and disillusioned. Survival is always good, but I didn't see flying cars and cheap trips to the colonies on other planets. I did see space stations, footprints on the moon, photographs from Mars, and a closer look at Saturn's satellites.
"I've seen nanotechnology go from a Feynman lecture to a growth industry.
"We–readers–are becoming jaded to SF, not because it is poorly written, certainly not because it is boring, but because we have a hard time telling it from real life. I think this, too, is why we see more of a blend of SF with Fantasy.
"Me? I will continue to write both. I will also continue to write para-psychological thrillers, and mainline emotional pieces.
"But the first place I go in the bookstore–if I'm not looking for a text–IS the Science Fiction section.
"I love it."
What do you think? Is it dead? Is it just waiting for a new leap forward to write about? I can't wait to find out.

TC TO JANE WELSH CARLYLE ; 29 August 1845; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18450829-TC-JWC-01; CL 19: 179
Chelsea, Friday [29 August 1845].
Oh impatient Goody! What an image you have got of the possibilities of human travel! Nothing to do but rub one's bill on one's toe, take wing, and straightway arrive!—— I said yesterday, the likeliest day was Wednesday; but we can yet appoint no day. Chapman has been here this morning: I am off into the City to send away money,—to make an attempt to get myself a pair of gloves and other things! The female mind is very impatient, and knows little about the impediments that obstruct an unfortunate man. I have also written to Emerson; shall have other letters to write; then a ride in the evening—the last but two. This morning there is a Letter from Alick: very sad as usual, but wholesome-looking too; it has to go off directly to my Mother, if Jack had seen it. He is out, I think, roving over the Earth.
I meant to send Miss Donaldson1 a Copy of the new Past and Present: can you tell me any other in your sphere who requires and deserves one?—
Do not forget to send me Fitzgerald's plan of the route to Bedford: it will be needed on Sunday night.
Here is the German Woman's Letter,—illegible to you I dare say; but some of the Seaforth Household will be able to read it. She seems to be somewhat of a fool, and I do not design answering her Letter.— What time do your Letters really arrive at Seaforth? Nay, it is no matter at all! They arrive when they can; and impatient Goodies give them what reception they can!— Take care of yourself till Wednesday or Thursday, poor Goody!
Ever yours,

The Voskhods were adaptations of the single place Vostok spacecraft meant to conduct flights with up to three crew, conduct space walks, and fly manned missions of up to three weeks duration in advance of the US Gemini program.
Work on the 3KV (three crew) and 3KD (two crew plus inflatable airlock) versions of the basic Vostok spacecraft began with the decree issued on 13 April 1964. In order to accommodate more than one crew, the seats were mounted perpendicular to the Vostok ejection seat position, so the crew had to crane their necks to read instruments, still mounted in their original orientation. The Elburs soft landing system replaced the ejection seat and allowed the crew to stay in the capsule. It consisted of probes that dangled from the parachute lines. Contact with the earth triggered a solid rocket engine in the parachute, which resulted in a zero velocity landing. A back-up solid propellant retrorocket package on the nose of the spacecraft provided a redundant means of return to earth, which meant that Voskhods could be placed in higher orbits than Vostok (which was placed in orbits allowing natural decay of the orbit within a week in case of retrorocket failure).
The airlock of the two-crew 3KD version weighed 250 kg and was 700 mm in diameter and 770 mm high when stowed for launch. When inflated in orbit, it was 2.5 m long, with an internal diameter of 1.0 m and external diameter of 1.2 m.
The Voskhods were heavier than Vostok, and had to be launched by the 11A57 launch vehicle, with a much larger third stage than the 8A92 used for the Vostoks.
Voskhod 3 and on were to be equipped with a new environmental control system, allowing up to 21 days life support for two crew. They also were to have the cockpit rearranged and improved homing beacons and other safety features after the problems with the Voskhod 2 mission.
A later Voskhod flight was also to be equipped with a tether experiment. Korolev was always interested in application of artificial gravity for large space stations and interplanetary craft. He sought to test this in orbit from the early days of the Vostok program. Three versions were considered:
Separation of the two components with a rotation of 0.5 degrees/second would produce 0.03 G of artificial gravity. The components would then close to 300 m, reaching 7 degrees/second and 1/6 G. The Voskhod would need additional liquid fuel rocket thrusters fitted to put the components into rotation. When follow-on Voskhod flights after Voskhod 2 were cancelled, the experiment was moved to the Soyuz 7K-OK project. However after Korolev's death, this project in turn was closed by Mishin on 28 March 1966 and not pursued further.
Crew Size: 3.
AKA: 3KV; 3KD; Vykhod.
Gross mass: 5,682 kg (12,526 lb).
Height: 5.00 m (16.40 ft).
First Launch: 1964.10.06.
Last Launch: 1966.02.22.
Number: 5 .
Later Finogenov, head of the VVS range at Vladimirovka, informs Kamanin that flight trials of the new combination parachute/soft landing system will be delayed at least two weeks after the failure of one of the parachute canopy rings in static test.
Later the state commission meets to consider the launch of the first Voskhod. The unpleasantness at the landing trials in the Crimea reveal only the inadequacy of the design of the test capsules, and do not reflect the flight system, says Korolev. He certifies the reliability of the Voskhod for flight. The commission decides to set the launch of the next Zenit-4 reconnaissance satellite for 14 September; that of the Voskhod with mannequins on 18-20 September; the definitive landing system trial at Fedosiya on 23 September; and if that is successful, launch of a manned Voskhod by the end of September.
Finally Korolev gets to the purpose of the secret meeting. He wants Feoktistov to be aboard Voskhod 1, despite the opinion of Kamanin and the physicians. Kamanin reiterates that the most qualified crew would be Komarov, Volynov, and Lazarev; and if he gives in on Feoktistov, then Komarov, Feoktistov, Lazarev. But Korolev is opposed to Lazarev, and insists that the crew should be Komarov, Feoktistov, and Yegorov. From Kamanin's point of view this is flying a space mission with two invalids aboard. Lazarev is a qualified and fit flight surgeon, a qualified pilot as well as a physician with 15 years of research experience in aviation medicine. Korolev is adamant that the two passengers should be civilian, not military. No agreement is possible.
Aftrwards Tyulin calls Korolev, Mrykin, Kerimov, Rudenko, and Kamanin aside. He tells them the Communist Party and Soviet Ministers have now taken a personal interest in the crew selection for Voskhod. Korolev and Kamanin bitterly debate their competing preferred crews.
Khrushchev also visited a secret space fair, with Korolev, Chelomei, Yangel, and Glushko presenting their rockets and spacecraft. Chelomei presented his UR-700 heavy lift design as an alternative to Korolev�s N1. This presentation was a surprise to Ustinov and Dementiev. Khrushchev ordered Chelomei to prepare a draft proposal for the design. Chelomei hoped that 12 to 18 months later, when the UR-700 draft project would be completed, the fallacy of Korolev�s N1 design would be apparent to all. Korolev�s N1 plans were also reviewed and approved at the meeting.
Over the two days, Khruschev witnessed five launches of rockets by Korolev, Yangel, and Chelomei, all of them successful. Gagarin and Belyayev explained the Vykhod spacecraft to him, and Leonov donned a spacesuit and demonstrated how he would exit into open space form the inflatable airlock and return thereafter. All went very well.
This was the last time Khrushchev saw the chief designers of the Soviet rocket industry. Despite his support for them not one of them visited him in his retirement.
Recovered October 7, 1964 7:28 GMT. Officially: Investigation of the upper atmosphere and outer space.
Coming before the two-man Gemini flights, Voskhod 1 had a significant worldwide impact. In the United States, the "space race" was again running under the green flag. NASA Administrator James E. Webb, commenting on the spectacular, called it a "significant space accomplishment." It was, he said, "a clear indication that the Russians are continuing a large space program for the achievement of national power and prestige." Additional Details: here....
At least progress on improvements at TsPK are underway. One apartment building with 75 apartments for cosmonauts is already finished, and an 11 story building should be finished in 1965, as well as schools, nurseries, stores, and so on. Currently there are 17 active cosmonauts and 13 candidate cosmonauts in training. An additional 40 will have to be recruited in 1965 to support the ambitious space plans recently adopted.
In the evening all problems are finally solved and the Voskhod spacecraft declared ready for flight.
However it is found that of the 45 commands that can be sent to the spacecraft, four of them, including the command of the re-entry sequence, are unprotected from this kind of error. In Kamanin's opinion, in the last five years, Mnatsakanian's bureau has done nothing to ensure security of commands to spacecraft or the exploitation of this major weakness by the United States.
It is decided that the launch of Voskhod-2 can go ahead in the second half of mine. However Korolev calls Kamanin and others to be briefed at his bedside. His temperature is down to 37 deg C, normal, but yesterday it was 40 deg C - diagnosis: "unknown cause". Korolev does not want to launch Voskhod-2 until a Zenit spy satellite has flown with its re-entry capsule fitted with the same airlock ring as Voskhod-2. This will prove that the re-entry capsule is stable during descent with the airlock ring, something that could not be demonstrated by Cosmos 57. Kamanin agrees that this will be proposed to the State Commission.
However they do not part without sharp words being exchanged over the quality of VVS doctors and military versus civilian cosmonauts. Korolev notes that due to the military's complete lack of interest in space, the only military cosmonaut that will ever be needed is Gagarin.... Kamanin is wounded but realises the truth of Korolev's words, attributing the issue to Malinovskiy, who has blocked all proposals for a military role in manned spaceflight, let alone a VVS role.
Kamanin is preparing the final press packet, with the cosmonaut biographies, which will be delivered to TASS but only released by them after confirmation that the spacecraft is in orbit. Later Kamanin and forty other guests, including hero-cosmonauts and future hero-cosmonauts, throw a party for Tereshkova's 28th birthday. There is tension in the room as the cosmonauts eye each other as competitors for the flights after Voskhod-2. Volynov is the leading candidate to command the next flight, and has already been a back-up four times, but Marshal Rudenko keeps blocking his selection for flight (Volynov is a Jew). Rudenko is pushing Beregovoi for the next flight, and everyone in the room knows it...
That evening the contingent watches the Arabic film "Black Glasses". At the same time an incident is developing when Khrunov insists that the second crew would only train in the capsule in their spacesuits - otherwise they would report to the State Commission that they were not ready for flight. That evening's training session was cancelled as a result.
The party then moved to the KP command point, where over the next four hours they watched the first man - a Soviet man, Alexei Leonov - enter free space. All operations - airlock deployment, airlock pressurisation, opening the hatch from the spacecraft, entering the airlock, the inner hatch closing, depressurisation of he airlock, opening of the outer hatch, Leonov's exit into space - went well. Television images showed him somersaulting in space, moving 3 to 5 m from the capsule with the earth in the background. There was some worry when the capsule began revolving at 20 degrees per second during the spacewalk, and the high concentration of oxygen (45%) in the cabin. The rotation is stopped, but after consulting with the crew, and considering the large oxygen reserves available, it is decided not to worry about the high oxygen level in the cabin. Kamanin goes to bed at 12:00, overjoyed by the success of the day's events.
This mission was originally named 'Vykhod ('Exit/Advance'). It almost ended in disaster when Leonov was unable to reenter the airlock due to stiffness of the inflated spacesuit. He had to bleed air from the suit in order to get into the airlock. After Leonov finally managed to get back into the spacecraft cabin, the primary hatch would not seal completely. The environmental control system compensated by flooding the cabin with oxygen, creating a serious fire hazard in a craft only qualified for sea level nitrogen-oxygen gas mixes (Cosmonaut Bondarenko had burned to death in a ground accident in such circumstances, preceding the Apollo 204 disaster by many years). Additional Details: here....
The recovery forces want to have a helicopter pick up the cosmonauts from the landing site, meaning hoisting them from a hover at an altitude of 5 to 6 m. Rudenko vetoes this idea due to the poor visibility, insisting they must be evacuated in snowmobiles. When he is told this is impossible, he becomes adamant that they must wait for conditions to improve. This is ridiculous. Kamanin believes there will be hell to pay if the cosmonauts have to spend a second night in the forest at a landing point only 70-80 km from the capital of the oblast.
Kamanin does not minimise Korolev's key role in creating the Soviet space program, but believes the collectives can continue the program without him. In truth, Kamanin feels Korolev has made many errors of judgment in the last three years that have hurt the program. Mishin, Korolev's first deputy, will take over management of Korolev's projects. Kamanin feels that Mishin is a clever and cultured engineer, but he is no Korolev. Over the next three days the cosmonauts console Korolev's widow.
Korolev's surgery was done personally by Petrovskiy, the Minister of Health. Korolev was told the surgery would take only a few minutes, but after five hours on the operating table, his body could no longer endure the insult, and he passed away.
It is decided that the flights of Voskhod s/n 5 and 6 will be run from Moscow rather than from the cosmodrome. The state commission will return to Moscow immediately after launch for this purpose. Four groups of staff will follow the flight on four-hour shifts.
Tyulin, Keldysh, and Mishin want engineer and scientist cosmonauts to be trained for early Soyuz flights. Kamanin agrees, telling them he will submit suitable candidates. The meeting goes well, possibly since in the absence of Korolev the commission is stacked with military representatives - of 17 members, 9 are military.
Launch of spacecraft s/n 6, Voskhod 3, is set for 22-23 March, with landing on 12 April. Afterwards the endless discussion of the role of IMBP in manned spaceflight, and especially military spaceflight is hashed over again in a bitter argument.
Voskhod s/n 5 launched at 23:10 Moscow time, with two dogs, Veterka and Ygolka, aboard. This will be a 25-day mission. Kamanin is disgusted, he had proposed this as a 25-day mission by a single cosmonaut, but Korolev had constantly held with the 'dog variant'. Preparations for Voskhod-3 are proceeding well. The prime and back-up crews have completed their training and will take their examinations on 28 February. Parallel trials of the oxygen regeneration system at IMBP and OKB-124 both went well (IMBP, 12 days so far, temperature 16-24 deg C, 70% humidity; OKB-124, 10 days so far, temperature 18-16 deg C, 65% humidity).
Work on the Svinets experiment continues. It was discovered that the device needs a night horizon, and the absence of a moon in the sky, in order to detect a rocket launch in the infrared band. The designer has been working with the cosmonauts for three months to fix this and problems in reliably operating the equipment. Kamanin estimates it will take 10 to 15 days to rectify these problems. Svinets is a crucial experiment, but in his view the development of the device by the PVO has been poorly managed.

The European Space Agency is shipping crude oil into space. This may seem like a poor market strategy, but there's method behind this petroleum madness. The space agency is sending a set of small, highly-pressurized containers of crude oil into orbit as part of an experiment aimed at learning how oil behaves in deep underground reservoirs.Read More
Normally, a spacecraft slamming into a planet's surface at the speed of sound is considered a bad thing, but the European Space Agency (ESA) plans to do just that. As part of its Core Technology Programme for Cosmic Vision, the agency fired a pair of experimental surface penetrators from a rocket sled at a test facility at the UK Military of Defence Pendine site in Wales last July. The goal is to find ways of delivering instruments beneath the ground or ice of alien worlds without drilling.Read More
Robots are a perfect tool to provide soldiers in the field with "eyes" on a potentially hazardous situation without placing themselves in harm's way. With soldiers often operating in difficult terrain or entering buildings, the easiest way to get such robots into place is to throw them. Currently, many units use a small tactical robot called the Small Unmanned Ground Vehicle 320 that is equipped with video reconnaissance technology. However, this robot weighs 32 pounds (14.5 kg) so the call has been put out for a lighter robot that is more easily transportable by dismounted units on the move and is able to be thrown into forward locations such as buildings and caves. To this end, the U.S. military is set to put three different types of lightweight, "throwable" robots through a series of combat assessments in Afghanistan.Read More
QinetiQ North America has unveiled its latest Micro Unmanned Ground Vehicle (MUGV) based on its Dragon Runner platform. The new Dragon Runner 10 (DR10) is built around the basic Dragon Runner design and is intended for military and first responder duties. At just 15 inches (38 cm) long, 13.5 inches (34 cm) wide and 5.8 inches (15 cm) tall, and weighing just under 10 pounds (4.5 kg), the DR10 is small and light enough to be carried in a standard-issue pack and be thrown into buildings and hostile environments for reconnaissance and surveillance missions.

Currently being developed by defense contractor QinetiQ in collaboration with the U.S. Office of Naval Research (ONR), "Blackfish" is a robotic jet-ski designed specifically to patrol harbors and search for underwater intruders. The remote-controlled craft carries an array of sensors that allow it to "see" under water and can travel at speeds of 40 mph (64 km/h) as well as tracking at lower speeds than conventional jet-skis.Read More
In the aftermath of the earthquake and subsequent tsunami that devastated Japan on March 11, 2011, the country faces a massive cleanup and rebuilding effort that will take years. To assist in the dangerous task of clearing hazardous debris that stretches for hundreds of miles along Japan's east coast, the North American arm of global defense technology company QinetiQ has announced it will provide unmanned vehicle equipment and training to aid in the colossal undertaking.Read More
In the heat of battle I imagine things can get pretty hectic and pinpointing just where the shooting is coming from as quickly as possible could mean the difference between life and death. To give its soldiers an edge in this regard the U.S. Army will begin providing its forces in Afghanistan with the first of 13,000 gunshot detection systems later this month. The Individual Gunshot Detector (IGD) uses the sound waves generated by enemy gunfire to instantaneously determine the location and distance toward the enemy fire.Read More
The three world records that QinetiQ applied for after its Zephyr High-Altitude Long-Endurance Unmanned Aerial Vehicle completed a successful 14-day flight in July 2010, have been confirmed. The aircraft has now officially been ratified as staying in the air longer and achieving the highest altitude of any surveillance craft in its class, and setting the absolute duration record of 14 days and 21 minutes.Read More
QinetiQ has filed for three world records for Zephyr, its solar powered high-altitude long endurance (HALE) Unmanned Air System (UAS), with the Federation Aeronautique Internationale (FAI) – the world governing body for air sports, aeronautics and astronautics world records. The three records subject to ratification are the absolute duration record for an Unmanned Air Vehicle, the duration record for a UAV in the U/1.c / 50-500Kg category and the absolute altitude record for a UAV in that category of 70,740ft (21,561m).Read More
Barring mishap, QinetiQ will set a significant milestone in aviation history later today. After 14 days and nights in the air, the solar-powered Zephyr unmanned aircraft we wrote about last week is set to land, claiming a raft of world records for flight duration and the title of the world's first truly persistent aeroplane.

UNCW Theatre Presents Ubu Rex
UNCW's Department of Theatre concludes its 2013-2014 season with the production of Ubu Rex, written by David Copelin. Ubu Rex is a close translation of Alfred Jarry's original work, Ubu Roi, a bizarre and comedic story of the fight for power in Poland. When Pa Ubu is persuaded by his nagging wife to usurp the king of Poland, he finds himself in a battle for the Crown when the former king's son returns seeking revenge on behalf of his father.
After returning from a trip to Europe, Copelin took it upon himself to create a stage worthy translation of Ubu Roi. Copelin aims to shock modern audiences much as the original play did in 1896, where it opened and closed the same day after riots broke due to the scandalous nature of the play. Three-time award winner for Best Director by the StarNews Media group and UNCW professor, Ed Wagenseller, directs the production of Ubu Rex.
Ubu Rex runs April 3-6 and 10-13 in the Mainstage Theatre in the Cultural Arts Building. Show times are Thursday through Saturday at 8:00 PM, with Sunday Matinees at 2:00 PM. Tickets are $12 for general public, $10 for UNCW staff and faculty, and $5 for students. Contact the Kenan Box Office by calling 910.962.3500 to purchase tickets, or visit www.uncw.edu/arts/box-office.html.

Release Date: Aug 21, 2013
Genre: SciFi/FantasyAction/Adventure
Rating: (PG-13)
User reviews on Mortal Instruments: City of Bones
this was Twighlight copycat from the get go… all you need do is look at the pic above, and read the lame plot
So, my friend is that embarresing person who was crazy about Twilight films and she was looking forward this film as well. I definitely did not want to see it but she offered to pay for my ticket so I caved and went with her. I really wish i did not because nobody can give me back my wasted time and dead brain cells. This film definitely targeted teenagers and it did that in the most shameful way. This movie was full of silly cliches, horrible dialogue and the plot was copied from all of the previous films like this one, well the successful ones. Overall, this film is definitely not worth seeing in the theaters and I would not suggest seeing it at home either.
My sisters' teenage daughter really wanted to see this film and I am a good and might I add a cool auntie who took her to see it, I wish I did not. The film was absolutely horrible and I definitely do not recommend seeing it in the theaters, especially if you are an adult. The film basically copy and pasted every aspect of the previous films of this genre and there were absolutely nothing original about it. THe film is filled with teenage angst and happy goths and I felt way too old for it. I could see that my niece was enjoying cheesy lines and the plot full of holes, but she is 14 and I have to assume that she does not know any better. Overall, this film is not worth your money, time or your brain cells.
I am so sick of stupid films like that and I think the makers of these films should just stop because they are destroying our brain cells. This film tries so so hard to be the next big thing that it is hard to watch it and I definitely do not recommend seeing it in the theaters. The film pretty much copies everything that has worked in the previous films like this one and it is extremely unoriginal and I would even say laughable. Basically, the film is full of cliches, silly and cheesy lines and overall plot theft.

These microvesicles contain regulatory molecules, including DNA and RNA, capable of promoting metastatic dissemination. A main focus in the Di Vizio Laboratory is on the molecular characterization, by deep sequencing, of circulating large microvesicles in patients with ovarian and breast cancer.

Big weekend ahead in Breckenridge as Breck Bike Week gets kicked off July 4th with the start of the Firecracker 50. This race is 50 miles of hard mountain biking and not only does the terrain make it hard but this race is also classified as the USA Cycling Marathon MTB National Championship. Last years winners where Sari Anderson and Jeremiah Bishop. There will be plenty more to do for the rest of the family if racing is primary for the day, check out the full list of 4th of July Events at Breckenridge.
The following day, July 5th is the start of the first of its kind in Colorado, a 6-day ultra-endurance mountain bike stage race held right in the near backcountry of Breckenridge! The 6 day event will cover 200 miles and almost 40,000 feet of climbing! The course maps look epic and spectator friendly with each day starting and ending in the town in addition to the cloverleaf design making is possible to following the race as it progresses. Not sure if there will be any live coverage of the race, but the race director might keep us informed on their blog and of course we will do our best at 303 to keep everyone up-2-date.
If you don't have anything going on yet for this weekend maybe today you might want to consider booking a room up in Breck or even racing, the Firecracker 50 is already full but there is room in the Breck epic race if you have $995 dollars laying around.

After further examination, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt developer CD Projekt Red has decided to push the game's release date from the end of this year to February 2015, according to a report today from VG 24/7.
In a post to the studio's official website, CD Projekt Red said they "reexamined" how much progress they had made on The Witcher 3 and faced a decision on how they wanted to proceed with the game's release.
"The decision we made was difficult, thoroughly considered, and ultimately clear and obvious," the CD Projekt Red post said. "We could have released the game towards the end of this year as we had initially planned. Yet we concluded that a few additional months will let us achieve the quality that will satisfy us, the quality gamers expect from us."
CD Projekt Red apologized for making gamers, who wanted to play the game as soon as possible, wait even longer for its release, but promised an "exceptional" RPG once it comes out.
"We believe The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will be an exceptional RPG, one of the best, providing many hours of wonderful entertainment," the post said.
The news comes as CD Projekt RED developer Michał Krzemińsk said he wouldn't be pulled into any debate over the game's resolution on the PlayStation 4 versus the Xbox One before its even released.

Once it does release next February, The Witcher 3 will come to the PS4, Xbox One and PC platforms.

When is a boat shoe more than just a boat shoe? When it's an off-roading, mud-stomping, trail-mastering comfort cruiser known as the Timberland Earthkeepers Crawley Boat Shoe. As mentioned at the beginning of the month, the Crawley is being launched today, and it is a seriously, maybe even surprisingly, good shoe.
Since the Crawley is part of Timberland's Earthkeepers collection, the full-grain leather from which it was cut was tanned at place that has earned a Silver rating from the Leather Working Group (LWG). The laces are made from recycled plastic bottles, and the sole of this burly all-rounder is made from Green Rubber which contains 42% recycled material. While all of these things are important to know about the Crawley, there's a couple things that are much more important to consider when considering a shoe: Comfort and quality.
Comfort, you would think, would be a given when a company brings a shoe to market, but after years of product testing, I can assure you that some companies have forgotten about this. Luckily, Timberland hasn't. In fact, as mentioned in this review of the Timberland Pembroke, it kind of feels like Timberland had my feet in mind when they established their sizes. The 11.5D from Timberland fits perfectly, and the Crawley was immediately comfortable and did not require a break-in period despite the robust leather of its upper. Bravo!
As far as quality is concerned, the Crawley has that category all buttoned up, as well. The construction of this shoe is flawless. The crisp moc-toe runs a smooth arch around the top of the shoe, and all the seams are simply as good as it gets.
The Crawley also wins when it comes to style, too. The subtle suede panels at the heel and toe add a bit of visual and textural contrast on a shoe traditionally bereft of embellishment, and the rugged and recycled PET laces show off this shoe's off road aspirations while adding another layer of visual interest. The chunky Green Rubber sole completes the look of this boat shoe gone rogue. With the Timberland Earthkeepers Crawley Boat Shoe, there's more than meets the eye.

**Full disclosure: These shoes were provided for editorial consideration. To think otherwise would be silly.

|T&F continues to improve
MOSCOW, Idaho – The University of Idaho track and field team had a small group compete Friday at the Idaho Collegiate but still won five events and posted many strong marks.
Idaho director of track and field/cross country Wayne Phipps said there were two basic goals for their final home meet before the Western Athletic Conference Championship next weekend.
"We got a lot out of today," Phipps said. "For people who were for sure going to conference it was about fine tuning or giving them a little more confidence going into conference, and for some it was their last opportunity to make the conference roster."
Senior Liga Velvere won the women's 800m with a time of 2:07.83, which is the second fastest of her career and is the fastest in the WAC so far this season.
"She will run as fast and hard as she can, regardless of the competition," Phipps said. "I know she was disappointed, but the second fastest indoor time for her ever and the conference leader is still a very good race."
Senior Barry Britt finished fourth in the men's mile with a career-best time of 4:07.33. His time is the best in the WAC this season by more than four seconds and is also five seconds faster than his previous best. Britt said the race was a good confidence booster for next week's WAC meet.
"Being so close to conference, there will be no doubt in my mind my endurance is there, my speed is there and I have all the tools," Britt said. "I am just feeling super confident, too."
Sophomore Matt Sullivan joined exclusive company in the men's pole vault on Friday with a career-best height of 17-0.75 (5.20m), which is second best in the WAC this season. He is the third person in Idaho school history to break the 17-foot barrier in the event. He cleared the height on his very first attempt.
The day was extra special because his family and best friend drove up for the meet from Caldwell, Idaho, to celebrate his birthday on Saturday.
"My family, my cousins, my littler brother and my best friend came up for the weekend to watch me and it was nice to have that support," Sullivan said. "I wanted to put on a show for my family."
Senior Kristine Leonard had a strong day in the throws. She started with a first place finish in the discus at 156-7 (47.72m) and added a second place finish in the weight throw with a career-best toss of 57-7.75 (17.57m) and finished third in the shot put with a mark of 45-7.25 (13.90m).
Senior Ugis Svazs finished first in the 60m dash with a time of 7.06; coming in at a close second was sophomore Jesse Villines with a time of 7.07. The Vandals also posted first and second place finishes in the 800m. Senior Kyle Tylor won the race with a season-best time of 1:53.12 and freshman Tyler Jaszkowiak came in second with a time of 1:56.19.
Overall at the meet, Idaho's men tallied seven career-best marks, while the women's team had five career bests. Phipps said he is glad to see the improvements and marks and the important thing now is to get ready for conference.
"We won't have too many people competing tomorrow, so from here on in we want to get as healthy as possible," Phipps said. "Getting the appropriate amount of rest and recovery is important. All the hard work is done, we need a little fine tuning work and if we can get well rested, we are in a good position."
The Vandals will host the Idaho Open II on Saturday morning starting with the heptathlon 60m hurdles at 8:30 a.m. (PT).

Miami Marlins: RHP Jose Fernandez wins South Atlantic League Pitcher of the Week
Class-A Greensboro right-hander Jose Fernandez, last year's first-round draft pick, was named South Atlantic League Pitcher of the Week for May 21-27. Fernandez tossed seven shutout innings and struck out 15. One of the two starts lasted just one inning because of a rain delay. In the other, he struck out 12 batters over six innings.
For the season, Fernandez is 6-0 with a 1.50 ERA, 15 walks, 78 strikeouts and a .190 batting average against in 60 innings. He's allowed just one home run despite playing home games in a band box.
Thanks in large part to the rotation duo of Fernandez and Adam Conley, last year's second-round pick, the Grasshoppers entered the week with a 40-17 record and 6 1/2-game lead atop the standings. Once Greensboro clinches the first-half title, look for the Marlins to promote Fernandez and/or Conley, who is 6-1 with a 2.83 ERA heading into Tuesday's scheduled start against Augusta.

In just a couple of weeks (Saturday, May 1, 2010), Space Atlanta will be transformed into the premiere venue for a unique celebration to benefit young African-American Atlantans, many of whom are fathers of young children. The theme of the celebration is the 136th Kentucky Derby. Long considered the grandest of American equestrian events, this year's "Run for the Roses" provides the thematic backdrop for the Community Council of Metropolitan Atlanta's (CCMA) Kentucky Derby Gala.
The trifecta of fun kicks off at 4:00 pm with live music, tantalizing food, contests, and of course prizes. Ladies are encouraged to pull their round boxes of filigree & finery (a Kentucky Derby tradition) from the shelf and make a statement by joining in the hat contest for which a special prize will be awarded. Several gift vendors will also be on-site, and one of the highlights of the afternoon will be a special tribute to the panoply of African-American jockeys (some as young as 15!) from the race's earliest days. Festivities continue until 7:30 p.m.
The gala is one of CCMA's primary fundraisers of the year and tickets, which are selling briskly, are just $25.00 per person. Your ticket purchase enables you to make a tax-deductible contribution to support its positive, impactful community programming. CCMA is a federally recognized 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of at-risk youth, young African-American males (18 - 25 years old), and young ex-offenders through community-based programs, mentoring, conferences, and educational opportunities. Participation in this event allows all patrons to affordably join in the "race to save a generation." Tickets are available from CCMA staffers, board members, and on-line using PayPal. Donor and vendor sponsorships at Gold, Silver, and Bronze levels may still be purchased as well. Interested donors and vendors should call the CCMA office at 404.935.5859 or visit the Race to Save a Generation web page at www.communitycouncilma.org/events.html.
One of CCMA's core initiatives, the "Priority Male Institute," shows promise as an effective means of helping young African-American fathers find renewed purpose and direction for their own lives, as well as the lives of their children. Another upcoming CCMA event serving these young at-risk families is a community Children's Health Fair, scheduled the following week (May 8th). Be sure to return to the Examiner to read about the gala, but more importantly, don't miss the opportunity to come out to support this worthy cause and have great fun doing it.

There is a deep bond between 13-year-old Natalia Kutny and her 8-month-old yellow Labrador puppy, Gus.Still, the Town of Saukville girl knows Gus is not destined to be her lifelong companion. He has a higher calling.Natalia is raising Gus to become a service dog for the Madison-based OccuPaws Guide Dog Association.By the time her canine companion reaches 18 months, he will be matched with a visually impaired master after undergoing addition on-the-job training.Gus has been a member of the Kutny household for about five months, but Natalia has little trouble reconciling the fact that his stay is temporary."He is a great dog. I love him so much. He learns easily and is very affectionate. I am sure it is going to be tough when it is time to give him up," the youngster said."But knowing he is going to be helping someone who is blind and who really needs him will help a lot. That is a good feeling."Natalia, who is homeschooled, got the inspiration to work with Gus when doing research for an essay she wanted to write about puppy training."It was my dad's idea to look into the idea of training a guide dog. We went to the Ozaukee Humane Society and they gave us information about OccuPaws," Natalia said.The family completed an application, and was approved to become a training home for a puppy picked to become a guide dog.Natalia's mother Lucy said the other members of her household were more enthusiastic about the plan than she was."Frankly, I don't think I would have gone along with it if Natalia wasn't being homeschooled," her mother said.The puppy placement experience got off to a rocky start, when OccuPaws assigned a black poodle to the family that proved to be a bit too aggressive.
That dog was returned, and Gus arrived on the scene.The puppy arrived with a binder full of training instructions, and ready contact information for a local puppy coordinator who is available to handle any behavioral issue that comes up.There are also regular get togethers for the local volunteers who are raising dogs in training."Everyone is so warm and caring. We are committed to our dogs and it feels like a big family when we get together with our dogs," Natalia said.Before she could become adept at training Gus for his role as a guide dog, Natalia said she had to learn the rules of service dog behavior.
"We can play with him as much as we want, but the main rule is that when your dog is wearing his vest, he is working," Natalia said.In work mode, Gus has the full privileges of any other service dog."We take him to restaurants, where he has learned to sit quietly at my feet, and into stores like Walmart, where he knows to stay under control and not knock over the displays," Natalia said.The youngster said her connection with Gus has elevated her status among her circle of friends."My friends this it is so cool that I am training Gus, and they want me to bring him with us anytime we go anywhere — even to the movies," Natalia said.The Kutny house has been home to an assortment of pets, including other dogs, a variety of cats and hamsters, and a horse.Still, Gus has largely been Natalia's responsibility, and the lessons have already sunk in."It does take a lot of time and commitment. You can't just put him in his crate when you want to go out. He has to be my main priority," she said.If that sounds like a daunting task, Natalia said OccuPaws is always looking for families willing to serve in the less demanding capacity of "puppy sitters" to people raising guide dogs and need a little assistance.Officials at the organization note that their only paid staff member is a licensed and certified dog trainer who works with each placement animal.More information about the puppy-raising program is available at the website www.occupaws.org or by calling (608) 772-3787.

Starting this...about to dig back into a coupla more hours of study and practice for school. Late class tonight. I know this part would be harder than Theory..but damn!
Had one of my days yesterday...I ate well and did a good bit around the house and with my school work....but last night...after eating a tasty and filling dinner...I had the same crap as usually happens....I WAS SO HUNGRY....like couldn't go to sleep hungry.....like distracting to the point that I was pacing hungry....finally gave in and ate a box of Special K cracker chips....and guess what....yep, that's right...this morning I woke up so hungry I had hiccups until after my first cup of coffee. WTH?!?!
That is my biggest hurdle with weight loss....I am SO DAMN HUNGRY all the time....even when I eat and am pleasantly to uncomfortably full...you can bet I am gonna start having hunger pangs shortly after....I was very sick earlier this year...I felt like crap....fever, nausea, aches...not flu...just ill....the best thing about it was that I wasn't hungry 24/7/365. It was a relief, actually.
I just ate lunch....big, bulky salad with a good bit of protein and huge glass of cold water....and yep...you guessed it...already starting to get the rumblies in my tumbly and the hollow feeling at the back of my throat....and I have HOURS of school work to do...
Being active only helps for a short while during the activity...and even then I will get so hungry that it's distracting....and on days that I do heavy housecleaning, or yard work, I am ravenous for the rest of the day....yet, when I was working (10 hr shifts overnight retail/stock, maintenance, going to the beach (10-15 min walk each way),and doing 45-90 Wii Fit/Sports 3-4 times a week....I lost weight, but only because I never had time to eat big....and stayed so hungry and cranky no one wanted to be around me....that's no way to live, either.
Doctors tell me that problem is in my head....as in I need a shrink...Shrinks tell me that they think I need medical assistance....I can only take appetite suppressants for a coupla days at a time and then they give me such a headache that I have to lay off for a few days....and they don't always work....sometimes I feel no change in hunger level at all....the bitch of it really is....I have packed on so much weight in such a short amount of time, my already "LIttle Mermaid" feet hurt so bad....exercise is hard...I mean hard, to endure and I have a high tolerance for pain....don't know any other way except to just keep plugging away....yay me.
Off to work on school stuff....yippee! Sooner I finish school, the sooner I go back to work, the sooner I can have a life again.

NUTRITIONWith the wide variety of food at Thanksgiving dinner, chances are you'll want to give your dog something special, too. If you're contemplating what to feed your dog for the holiday, here is a guide to a great Canine Thanksgiving Feast.
DOG HEALTH So you have your new puppy picked out. There are quite a few shots, treatments and examinations that will keep the newest member of your family healthy.
DOG FUN Walking your dog is not only crucial to keeping him healthy and happy, it strengthens the bond between your canine friend and his caregiver. There are a lot of obstacles out there. Don't forget these simple tips to keep your walk fun and safe in the outside world.
HEALTH The same techniques that physiotherapists use to treat a variety of injuries and conditions in humans have been adapted to suit animals with great success. Family pets, show dogs, and working dogs can all benefit greatly from physiotherapy. Dogs whose activities involve a lot of agility are especially susceptible to the types of problems that physiotherapy can address.
FIRST TIME OWNERSBringing a dog into your family is a decision where many people don't realize it's magnitude until after they have the dog. There are a number of things that you need to research before you decide to purchase a dog, and it starts right in your own home.
HEALTH Many believe that a dog and a new baby cannot happily coexist, so therefore the dog has to go. This is not necessarily the case. A new baby does not mean you have to abandon your dog.
DOG TRAINING It's not enough to simply walk the dog through the front door and hope he will acclimate to his new surroundings; you have to teach him how to interact with the new people and items in his environment.
PET-NEWSWORTHY If you're considering adding a pet to your home in 2015, you're in very good company. As many as 71.4 million homes are expected to include a pet in 2015. According to the American Pet Product Association, pet families have increased from 56% of households in 1988 to 62% this year.

Tiaras will be traced as so much back as the traditional Egypt and Greece. But, it had been during the flourish of the European monarchs in the nineteenth century when tiaras were initial related to weddings. With the good wealth that European royalties had that time, jewelers created extravagant jewelries and lavish tiaras. There were even "tiara nights" at the Paris Opera where ladies showed off unique tiara designs.
It's an necessary half of western culture, from London England to Los Angeles California, to wear tiaras for a wedding or beauty pageant. For most new brides, it could be the sole probability they get at showing off such a beautiful hair ornament. Because of that, it is vitally vital to settle on the simplest type of tiara to wear on your massive day. Here are a multitude of tips, tricks and hints for choosing the correct tiaras, crystal or rhinestone, for the correct job!
The most effective bridal tiara is one that can match the dress of selection. In fact, the wedding robe itself ought to not be the most focus of attention. This holds true for tiaras furthermore. Both are highlights for the brides own natural beauty and flare. This is why it is vital to search out a balance when selecting the right parts and be additional careful that each one of the elements tie together rather than clash or else you'll have a fashion disaster on your hands. Don't take all the eye off from the gown and also the bride herself.
From political standing, the wearing of tiaras shifted to fashion statement. Because of its regal history, the modern wedding tiara makes it affordable for any bride to exude an appearance of grandeur and an air of royalty as she walks down the aisle. Wedding tiaras are no longer made exclusively for people who could wear diamonds and other precious stones, thanks to the emergence of classy, yet reasonable stone alternatives like Swarovski crystals, this royalty symbol is now made reasonable to the regular person. Fashionable designers are currently a lot of centered on the look detail of the wedding tiara instead of the value of the gems, the cost of tiaras is now within reach of most individuals. This has led to a a lot of complete variety of styles and styles to suit the wants and private preferences of the broader public in trendy times. In addition, tiaras and different headpieces are utilized in a wider selection of special occasions. This includes primarily weddings, however also proms, pageants, sweet sixteen parties, Quinceaneras, Bat Mitzvahs, debutante balls, and more.
The marriage tiara is worn on the high of the top; that that is meant to draw attention to the face, of course. For the bride with an oval face, it is best to wear a tiara that does not have a central peak to it; it will make your face appear longer. For those with longer faces, it's best to choose tiaras that are also a little long for an extra bit of height and elegance; the horizontal piece adds balance to the length. The bride with an oval face should wear a tiara with a V shape to create the illusion of a longer face.
The fashionable tiara is mostly a crown placed on the top as a hair ornament or accent. It is usually fashioned from gold, silver, or plated metal and adorned with crystals, pearls and semi-precious stones. As a result of of its affordability and therefore the royalty result it adds to the bride's whole look, wedding tiaras became a regular part of the bridal clothes. With its popularity, there is now a large choice and various styles of wedding tiaras accessible in specialty shops, bridal boutiques, and online stores.

Running from Depression
As Maureen Gibson dashed across the finish line at New York City's Fifth Avenue Mile race, friends from her running group, Mothers Across America (MAAM), cheered wildly. Afterward, they surrounded and hugged her as she wiped away the tears and sweat streaming down her face. At 58, Gibson had just run the fastest mile in her life — in seven-and-a-half minutes — and she was elated.
With her exuberant red hair, youthful freckles, and obvious energy, Gibson seems an unlikely candidate for depression. But like several other women on her team, she has had long periods when it felt as if all she could do was sleep or cry — staying at home, listless, fearful of everything. The worst was the postpartum depression that hit after she had her first baby, at 47. She and her husband were thrilled with the surprise pregnancy — after 15 years of marriage, they had long since given up — but after the baby was born, Gibson spiraled into an anxious, unshakable dark mood. "I knew I had so much to be grateful for, and everyone was so supportive, but I couldn't pull myself back up," she says.
Her worst bouts of depression lasted on and off for eight years, despite psychological treatments, as she went straight from depression to perimenopause. In 2003, in the midst of one of her blackest moods, she saw a poster at her daughter's school of a mother and daughter running — MAAM founder Charlotte Gould with then 3-year-old India — that asked "Do you want to run a marathon?" The idea of a mothers-only running group sparked something inside Gibson, who had been a runner years before. For what seemed the first time in months, she said yes to something.
It was tough for Gibson to show up for her first MAAM run. "I pictured a bunch of twenty-somethings, and I didn't want to seem like Grandma," she says. But the other women — all mothers, and most over 40 — were supportive and understanding. From that first day, Gibson felt better. After several weeks, the sense of well-being became more than an afterglow of exercise; it was something she woke up with. "Physically, running got me back into shape; emotionally, it gave me stability," she says. Exercise hasn't cured her depression, but it's given her a powerful tool to cope. "When I'm exercising, I'm less prone to depression; when I'm depressed, it's treatment for the problem." Just eight months after she joined MAAM, Gibson ran her first marathon.
The Sweat Effect
Although rarely prescribed by physicians or psychologists, exercise can be a profound means of preventing and treating mild to moderate depression. Numerous studies have shown that the more you exercise, the less likely you are to be depressed. Regular exercise (it doesn't have to be training for a marathon) also significantly reduces levels of existing depression at all ages, though the effect is strongest in people who are middle-aged and older. It works equally well for both sexes, but because twice as many women as men are clinically depressed — 21 percent of us experience at least one major depressive episode — it may be twice as important for women to get moving.
Studies comparing exercise with psychotherapy and drugs show that, overall, it is at least as effective in alleviating mild to moderate clinical depression. (But every case is different, so you should always talk with a professional if you are depressed.) The effects of exercise are more immediate and enduring. "When you first start exercising, you feel a marvelous head-clearing relief and calm afterwards," says psychologist Keith Johnsgard, PhD, author of Conquering Depression & Anxiety Through Exercise. "After you've been at it for weeks, your base levels of anxiety and depression decrease. After five or six months, your base level of depression is profoundly lower."
Unlike medication, exercise has few side effects, except good ones: You're stronger, healthier, and more likely to maintain a stable weight and resist disease. "When I'm talking to a psychotherapist who's dealing with someone depressed, I'd say a high priority is to put the person on an exercise program," says psychologist Robert Thayer, PhD, author of Calm Energy: How People Regulate Mood with Food and Exercise.
