Five things you could be A/B testing in addition to the colour of your buttons
One of the most popular questions for new A/B testers is "What should I test?". There are many blog posts on the Internet that describe testing strategies, effective tests for landing pages, the psychology of testing, and so on. Rather than describe about the usual candidates (hero image, feature list, call to action – you can test them all), I thought I'd provide a fresh perspective on some creative tests that you may not have considered.
1. Signup process
How simple should your landing/signup pages be? If you take away distractions, and give a clean, simple interface that focuses the user, will you see an increase in signups? If you take away too much relevant information, will it turn users off to your site and make them less likely to complete the signup process?
How simple should your signup process be? If you remove distractions and provide a clean, simple interface that focuses visitors' attention, will you see an increase in signups? Take away too much, or force visitors to sign up before they know what you do or why you need their information and you may scare them away.
2. Information capture
You can test anything along your pipeline from customer acquisition to post-purchase follow-up. Most people like to start with the front-end of the pipeline: SEO to make their web site more visible, and web site optimization to make their landing pages more effective.
Collecting information from potential customers is a tricky business. Collect too little and you're missing out on potentially useful insights. Ask for too much and you risk putting people off filling in your form. In addition to testing the visual aspects of form design (label positioning, immediate feedback on potential errors, and so on), one of the most useful things you can do is test the amount and format of data you're trying to capture. After all, all the data in the world is no use to you if it never leaves your customers' heads!
3. Email content
Communication with your customers is critically important, and it's not just your website that matters. Emails form a vital part of many businesses' communication strategy. Take your business's voice as an example. Do your users prefer more personable, friendly style? Or do they want reassurance that they're dealing with professionals? Test the style, language and layout of your email content, and measure the response rate or traffic generated over a number campaigns.
4. Features and pricing
Features and pricing are the two main things that affect your value proposition to customers. Fortunately, you can test both of these to see where your value sweet spot lies.
One great way of testing pricing is to test discounts. For example, you could offer one group of customers three months of free use of your product, and another group 25% off for a year. These offers are financially equivalent but offer different value in the short term.
The charitable promotions web site Humble Bundle operate another great example of price testing. They use A/B testing to prompt customers with different suggested donations, to determine the best times to add values to their deals.
Instead to testing pricing, you might consider testing features of your online product. What would happen if you gave users twice the space to upload photos? Would it lead to a financially beneficial increase in sign-ups? Why not run an A/B test to find out?
5. Checkout flow
Many of the tests we explored above for signup processes can also be applied to checkout flow. How much should you focus customers' attention on completing checkout and paying for the product? What order should you collect payment and delivery information? Is there a good opportunity for additional information capture here?
You can be a lot more flexible in tests by realising that, with the right testing tools, conversion goals don't need to be "yes/no" affairs. Some tools let you assign secondary goals or, even better, numerical goals that let you stipulate how good the outcome is. For example, in a checkout flow you might instruct your testing tool to put more weight on a conversion if the user has more items in their basket, returns to a basket after saving it, chooses a faster delivery option, and so on.
Hopefully these five crazy off-the-wall examples will inspire you to use A/B testing to improve your product or site in new and unconventional ways. We've seen all of these and more at Myna, and we're constantly being surprised by the resourcefulness and creativity of our users. This isn't to say that we don't advocate conventional testing of strap lines, hero images, and button colours – these tests are and always will be perfectly valid. No matter how much you've tested your landing pages, though, it's important to realise that there are always new optimizations to make. Who knows – your next test may just bust you out of a local maximum and take you to a whole new level of success.

In order to explore how a play creates an experience for the audience, one of the elements of the play that should be studied is setting. Considering where and when the action occurs is necessary to better understand the play. The play Romeo and Juliet takes place, most generally, in the cities of Verona and Mantua, Italy, over the course of four short days. The setting is a representative place, meaning that the stage represents an actual place. All of the scenes occur in Verona, except Act V, scene 1, which takes place in the city of Mantua. Verona is the home of the Capulet and Montague families. Mantua is where Romeo is banished after he kills Tybalt. A majority of the action in the play takes place out-of-doors in Verona, from the fruitful Capulet orchard where Romeo and Juliet profess their love, to the bleak Capulet tomb where the lovers take their lives. The vision of the world that is suggested by the setting is social, in spite of the political connotations that arise when the lovers are told that they are to hate each other because of their names. The action neither befell a war between states, nor is it an abstraction. Much of the action of the play is centered on the civil disorder that occurs between the Capulet and Montague families.
There are three scenes that occur in public locations that distinctly have to do with the consequence of violence among the families in the play.(1) The violence between the feuding families that erupts during these scenes helps to drive the action forward. The first scene of the play takes place in a public place in Verona. This scene depicts an argument between the household servants, of both the Capulet and the Montague families, concerning which servants serve the better man. Samson, a servant to the Capulets, attacks Abraham, a servant to the Montagues. Benvolio, Montague's nephew, and Tybalt, Capulet's nephew, enter the scene. Benvolio tries to break up the fighting, but Tybalt engages him in combat. As they fight, Capulet and Montague enter the scene and speak of drawing swords as their wives protest. Finally, through Escalus, Prince of Verona, the audience learns that there have been other public brawls recently between the families.
In Act III, scene 1, Tybalt accosts Romeo's friend
and Benvolio in a public square while they were searching for Romeo.
Romeo enters the scene as they fight. Tybalt tries to provoke Romeo
into fighting, but he is now married to Juliet, Tybalt's cousin, so Romeo
does not return his insults. Mercutio takes it upon himself to defend
Romeo and attacks Tybalt. Romeo steps between them, but Mercutio
is mortally wounded by Tybalt under the arm of Romeo. Seeking revenge,
Romeo attacks and kills Tybalt. The citizens are up in arms over
the fighting and Escalus enters and banishes Romeo to Mantua under penalty
of death. Finally, Act
V, scene 3 takes place in Verona at the Capulet's tomb. Paris
is first seen at the tomb putting flowers on Juliet's grave. Romeo
arrives and Paris, thinking that he is going to take revenge on the Capulets
by desecrating the bodies, threatens to kill Romeo. Romeo gives Paris
the chance to flee and when he does not, Romeo kills him.
Since much of the play takes place outside, another aspect of setting that is important to discuss is the weather. The play takes place in the month of July. July is a month that is characteristically hot. Tempers are more likely to flare and patience is more easily lost in the heat. Consideration of the heat may help to explain the amount of violence between the families. Heat may also be used in reference to sexual desire. The heat further ignites the passion between Romeo and Juliet. It is more than just the lovers that are affected by the heat. Sexual innuendoes are prevalent throughout the play. For example, the Nurse tells Juliet in Act I, scene 3, that someday she will enjoy tumbling under a man.
Finally, the contrast in setting between Act II, scene 2 and Act V, scene 3 is symbolic of the events that take place in them. Act II, scene 2, is set in the Capulet's orchard. It is here where Romeo and Juliet profess their love for one another. The orchard blossoms, as does their love. During this scene, although it is night, the lovers speak to one another in terms of "light". Juliet compares their love to lightning while Romeo compares Juliet to the sun. In contrast, the final scene of the play (Act V, scene 3) is set in the churchyard at the site of the Capulet's tomb. The churchyard is full of gravestones that mark the dreary landscape. It is fitting that the lovers should take their lives in the churchyard, among the dead.
From Act I, scene 4 to Act I, scene 5, the action is continuous. The setting moves from a street near the Capult's house to a hall inside the house. The actors do not exit the scene. Instead, they march to one side of the stage to give the appearance of traveling to the house. This is testimony to the swift moving action of the play. The play occurs swiftly over the course of four days. The length of the play consists of five acts containing twenty-four scenes. The correlation between the span of days that the play encompasses and the number of scenes in the play is negatively related. The play Romeo and Juliet is full of action. The play has to cover four days, which make the twenty-four scenes necessary, but the actual time of the performance moves quickly because the action moves quickly.
The first day of the play, Sunday, consists of the fight between the servants, Romeo and Juliet's meeting at the Capulet's feast, and Romeo and Juliet's declaration of their love for one another. On Monday, the lovers are married at Friar Laurence's cell. Romeo then kills Tybalt and is banished, but he risks his life by spending his honeymoon night with Juliet. Also, during this evening, Capulet arranges for Juliet's marriage to Paris on Thursday. At dawn on Tuesday, Romeo leaves Juliet to go to Mantua. Capulet and his wife then tell Juliet of her coming marriage to Paris. At once, Juliet seeks the help of Friar Laurence and they devise the plan for the lovers to be together. Meanwhile, Capulet changes the wedding day from Thursday to Wednesday. This forces Juliet to drink her potion and fake her death that night. Finally, on Wednesday, Balthasar goes to Mantua to tell Romeo the news of Juliet's death. Not having received word of Juliet's plan from Friar Laurence, Romeo believes that she is dead. He buys poison and rides to the Capulet's tomb. While there, he kills Paris and drinks the poison. Juliet then rises to find that Romeo is dead and she stabs herself with his dagger. The play ends, late at night, with the discovery of the bodies by Escalus, the Capulets, and the Montagues.
Night and darkness have an important part in the setting of the play. Several of the scenes involving the lovers occur at night. This is symbolic of the secrecy of their relationship. Romeo and Juliet first meet at night at the Capulet's feast. The balcony scene, where they confessed their love for one another, transpired at night. The lovers also consummated their marriage at night. Lastly, they both took their own lives at the tomb at night.
If the action of the play had not moved so quickly, the course of events in the play would likely be different. What if Romeo had not killed Tybalt? The lovers could have then made their marriage public and possibly ended the feud without any more bloodshed. If the Friar Laurence's note had gotten to Romeo, he would have known of Juliet's plan to fake her own death. Also, if Romeo had waited to confirm Juliet's death instead of galloping off to the tomb, their lives would have been saved. Unfortunately, none of these events takes place. Verona bares witness to the family feud, between the Capulet and Montague families, which has been in existence for generations. In a matter of days, however, the feud finally ends. However, it takes the deaths of five of the family members for Capulet and Montague to make their peace.

Huntington's disease (HD) is a genetically dominant disorder characterized by involuntary movements as well as psychiatric disturbances and cognitive decline. In the United States there are about 30,000 people with HD. We use cell and mouse models of HD to elucidate mechanisms of brain degeneration in this chronic and fatal disease. Findings from our mechanistic studies are used to generate hypotheses relating to potential protective therapeutic interventions. We test these interventions in genetically accurate mouse models of HD. We focus on the role of oxidative stress in HD neurodegeneration. A specific area of interest is the role of dysregulated iron metabolism as a potentiating factor in HD. We are also studying a modulatory role of dietary selenium intake in HD mice. Our goal is to contribute to the accumulating body of scientific understanding that will eventually lead to effective prevention and treatment of human HD and related degenerative diseases.

Honey Boo Boo is looking to be less and less like the reality star the viewers see on TLC and sounding more like she is completely out of control. The "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" family has been portrayed as a typical family living in the South with a delightful child who wants to enjoy the glitz and glamour of life. Perhaps that is why the reports of Honey Boo Boo (who is known as Alana Thompson in real life) hitting her mother June Shannon in front of a crowd of over 200 people is so shocking. According to Radar Online on Thursday, this incident happened in front of Jimmy Fallon during a taping of "The Tonight Show."
The show is edited with the portion of the hitting being left on the editing floor. However, Christy O'Shoney from Salon shared with her readers how shocked she was (along with the rest of the audience) after watching the star hit her mom. If viewers watched the show last week, it was obvious the interview was uncomfortable, but nobody would have expected the small reality star to allegedly whack her mother.
What happened after she hit her mom perhaps is why so many people are glad it happened in front of Jimmy Fallon (and not some production crew working for another network.) Finding it unacceptable, the talk show host told the youngster to "never hit your mother" and according to witnesses (or the audience depending on how you view the folks at the studio) it was well received by those watching live as they clapped at Fallon's response.
The rule of thumb on late night television usually leaves little incidents like this on the editing floor. TV shows don't want to make their guests look bad. However, the audience appears to have wanted to let the world know of her quite intense behavior. As old as Alana Thompson is she should know better. And having a reality show isn't a pass for questionable behavior.

By Dr. Cameron Chai
For the study, the research team used an atomic force microscope, which is suitable for studying bonding strength at the meeting point of two surfaces on the nanoscale. The team imitated the rock-on-rock contact with silica. A silica tip was pressed against the surface of silica for various time durations and then pulled out to gauge the amount of friction experienced by it.
The team repeated the same tests with surfaces made of graphite and diamond, which are chemically inert materials. Hence, it was difficult for them to create chemical bonds with silica and thus if frictional aging takes place with them, then it is not because of augmented bonding strength but caused by the modifying contact area. The findings demonstrated that frictional aging significantly varied with the different type of materials.
However, the research team had to relate the intensified ageing at the nanoscale with the weaker aging occurring during the actual earthquakes. The answer is based on the fact that only some contact points inside an area are opposing the sliding movement at their full strength due to elastic coupling. Hence, some will move in advance, and others will move later. Thus, the overall resistance not only depends on the optimal resistance provided by some contact points but also on the small amount of resistance offered by the other contact points.
Robert Carpick, who led the research team, stated that a further study will deal with higher stress levels wherein contact quantity will play a major role. The team plans to conduct experiments at various temperatures, which are vital in terms of the geological context, to observe the contact in real time utilizing an electron microscope, Carpick added.

Coruscant (campaign)
Does anybody know how to complete the last section of this mission (where Urai, Zann and Silri need to escape in the Juggernaut)?
I can't get the mobile build pads out to protect the juggernaut, and the only other unit I can use as cannon fodder is Cuddles the rancor. How can I protect the juggernaut adequately (yes, I use the point defense system, but it it seems to have the habit of targeting what it wants, i.e. quite a lot of missiles get through and pound the crap out of the transport) through the gauntlet of enemy rocket emplacements?
I just moved to the end, destroying only the rockets after I releazied it was stupid to kill every Stormtrooper. I ended up mowing down most of the Stormies any way (I ran them over) and getting away quite quickly.
I just turned on the point defence laser and clicked the end of the road, it moved through and survived, maybe just less than half health, but it didn't take any certain strategy or anything.
tru, but if you want thos mdu's then right click on them and sell what you built on them, close em up and move em into position, but as most other people i just loaded up and ran em down
I don't think it's possible to get the MDUs out of the building.
No, unfortunately, it isn't possible to move them out of certain rooms. I tried that tactic of storming down to the end, all guns blazing with the defense system turned on, but I can never make it beyond the second set of rockets without getting the juggernaut destroyed, and the occupants getting killed. BTW, I'm playing on 'hard' difficulty setting.
Same problem for me. On Hard difficulty, its imposible to complete it, i have tryied it 50 times. And since I dont have a saved game to start again the mission on easy, im completly stuck too. Is there a way to cheat, or to change the difficulty of the autosaved game? Thank you for any help.
I did destroy the rockets, but ignored the stormies.
Lordzack might be able to tell us if he was playing on hard at the time so we know if that plan works on hard; BUT you know that it might not be possible to complete this segment of the game on hard. We all know there is a large number of problems with the game and this might be something else that needs rectifying. If someone has played it 50 times and tried every different way and still failed, chances are its not possible. Have you tried using Tyber and Fenn to cloak ahead and knock out each turrets one by one; returning to the building to heal before heading out again??? I dont know if that would even work but on hard, maybe you have to get real sneaky and avoid using the jugger as much as possible; or send the rancor to take out each turret one by one??
Here is what I did. I put the witch and tyber in the jug. As I went down the road I rolled over as many troppers as I could hugging the right side of the wall. Once it was destroyed I left the witch on the wall where she was not taking fire , cloaked Tyber and walked him to the end. Mission Over.
I finally finished that level a few days ago. Use the juggernaut and Cuddles (Cuddles is expendable. When he dies, simply ressurect him) at the same time, then attack the first set of rocket turrets, attack just one, and wait until the health of the juggernaut is about halfway, then take it back to one of the museum rooms where you should have a repair station on standby. Keep doing this until the first two turrets are destroyed. Then you can trundle it to the end far more easily.
For all those having problems with mission: take Urai, cloak him and walk him to the exit. The mission will finish successfully when you get him there. Have fun
Yeah I was playing on easy, so someone playing on hard might not be able to do it that way.

Well I did it. I picked up the new AR15 out of lawaway today and my wife is pretty angry (big understatement)... but after shooting it... well the jury isn't in yet, but I think... I'm pretty sure... Yeah, I made the right choice. She'll get over being angry, and I have a new toy!:danceban:
Went to the range to put a few rounds through it. Didn't take the camera, but I snapped a few after I got back and gave her a good cleaning... the gun, not the wife.
Shoots like a dream, and once she was dialed in, I was actually amazed at how accurate this gun is. I going coyote hunting tomorrow... that's why I picked it up today even though I promised I wouldn't until summer... I jknew I needed a .223 for the yotes... I've used my 10/22 with CCI stingers for years, but I've limited my shots to 50 yards or less, and that's a little close for most yotes. With this, new ar, I have doubt I will be reaching out a little further tomorrow.:image035:
Now I am truely at a loss, because this was the absolute last gun that I knew I wanted. So, to make my wife, and my checking account happy, I may have to lay off a new purchase for quite a while... but what a gun to play with in the mean time.

I recently posed this question to an evangelical friend. What, I asked him, is your bone of contention with environmentalists? Don't you agree that Christians are commanded by God to be good stewards of the earth?
My friend assured me that evangelicals do love the environment, and despite the fact that he thinks the Greenpeace folks are zealots of the flora and fauna, he agreed with their basic premise that the earth is ours to take care of and we don't do a good job.
Ultimately, he conceded, as do scientists, the earth is doomed. How long it takes for that doom to arrive, and how it arrives, is where the debate comes in.
Evangelicals disagree with environmentalists' claims that the end of the world will be caused by humankind.
The Bible, as my friend pointed out, says that God will bring the hammer down, not SUV's.
The compassionate Christian also has to consider quality of life issues.
Bringing a halt to the extraction and usage of natural resources would have a catastrophic trickle down effect worldwide. Jobs would be lost, national livelihoods would go belly up, people would starve and freeze.
In the debate about global warming, which my friend is convinced is a hoax, a lot of other environmental considerations are being forgotten, many of them having direct bearing on the proverbial kingdom of God and how well or how poorly it's being realized.
The earth is the mother that sustains life, but life is a curious thing because it basically works by animate objects exploiting inanimate objects.
Life, in this sense, is a little like cancer. It multiplies and spreads by feeding off its host until it consumes everything, killing both the host and itself.
What happens when our planet's natural resources are used up?
Some evangelicals, particularly those who vehemently oppose the environmental movement, often make the mistake of speaking of human life as if it existed independently from the inanimate world that sustains it.
Scientists say our world can support about eight billion people, a number we're rapidly approaching. We can blame the tightening of the resource noose on developing countries, where birth rates are exploding, but that's shortsighted.
The industrialized world uses at least three times more energy than the developing world. If someone seized the world's food supply today, and distributed it according to the diet of the average American, it would only feed 1/3 of the world's population.
Nearly five billion people in the world have so little water, food and other necessities that they're barely clinging to life. On the other hand, an exclusive luxury club of some 600 million, almost exclusively North Americans and Europeans, enjoy a standard of living unprecedented in the history of the world.
Theologically speaking, perhaps Christians would do better to stop fighting over global warming and to focus their energies on trying to stop gobbling up the world's resources, including the oil that powers our behemoth, suburban troop transports.
How many times did Jesus beat this drum? It's also the ethos of the Native American: Take only what you need, don't horde and hog and eat food off the rest of the world's plate.
When viewed through the lens of the gospel, the environmental problem really stems from the sin of gluttony.
All of us – Catholics, mainline Protestants, evangelicals, all of us – are taking more than we need. If we cut back our consumption, we slow down, at least a little, the clock that ticks inexorably toward the end.

Interstitial Cystitis (IC) Diet
There is a lot of information on the web promoting various diets for interstitial cystitis (IC). Both the IC clinical guideline of the American Urological Association (AUA) and the chronic pelvic pain practice bulletin of the American College of Obstetrical Gynecology (ACOG) recommend dietary modification as a useful approach for helping to manage IC and chronic pelvic pain.
However, research into the link between IC and food is very limited. At this time, there is no special "IC Diet."
Research has found that there is a lot of variability among IC patients. Some people with IC report that certain foods appear to irritate their bladders and cause painful IC flares. And they find that making a few strategic changes to what they eat and drink can help to control IC symptoms including pain, frequency, and urgency. Other IC patients find that diet does affect their flares.
|Is What You are Eating Affecting your Bladder Symptoms?Interview with Barbara Shorter, EdD, RD, CDNThe Dr. Melanie Show
Some 2,100 IC patients responded to a survey conducted by the Interstitial Cystitis Association (ICA) on complementary and alternative medicines (CAM). Diet topped the list of helpful CAM treatments. The ICA distinguished between looking for and eliminating your individual food triggers and strictly eliminating all the foods on a given "IC Diet" food list. Results were the same in both cases, strongly suggesting that you can eat happy and healthy with a wide variety of items in your diet and still keep your symptoms at bay. The survey also found that newly diagnosed patients find diet changes significantly more helpful than long-standing IC patients.
- Results of the CAM survey were presented at two medical conferences.
- Survey findings are also summarized in the Summer 2009 ICA Update Special Issue—Complementary and Alternative Medicine.
The ICA recommends eating a healthy, balanced diet. This includes a diet with a variety of fiber-rich foods, which helps to prevent constipation.

Mallika's Mishaps - Yes, I'm just that lame to find a title like this
I don't know whether this is a Lowlight, a make-up pet peeve, or just something that goes against everything I believe. Am I being dramatic? I don't think so. Take a look and tell me what you see. She's got a pretty face but her foundation is doing her no favours. If she comes out with a statement that she just "put on some gloss and some kaajal" and went to a press conference we'll know she's lying. It looks like a mask that is a couple of shades too light with the wrong undertones to boot. Then comes, I am feeling very faint form the impact here, the darkly lined lips with a different, lighter shade of lipstick and lip gloss. I don't really know what she's trying to accomplish here. Is she trying to tell us something about her mouth? Is the dark ring of lip line some code that I don't know about? Is it some kind of Bollywood insider secret? I don't know, but if you do please let me know. There has to be a logical explanation for this.

I can't say that I agree with you. I don't see why it matters if this look is considered "natural" or not. She looks amazing. I love every aspect of this look.7:17 PM

I'm not sure what this look is, and while she is BEAUTIFUL I think the make-up is way too much. Like placing pounds of make-up in isn't making her look prettier, its actually making her look plastic-y. Not my favorite look. At all!4:16 PM

As rates of obesity rise in the United States, more women and men are losing weight through bariatric surgery or focused diet and exercise. Procedures like gastric bypass or the laparoscopic gastric band have become very popular methods for attaining a healthy body weight.
However, reaching your target weight is not always satisfactory. If you would like to put the finishing touch on weight loss and feel confident about your body, you may need to undergo body contouring in Boston.
Body contouring in Boston includes any treatment designed to remedy the residual effects of body weight reduction. The most common problem for people who lose a great deal of weight is redundant skin. Loose skin will fold or hang in several areas of the body, causing discomfort, hygiene issues and cosmetic concerns.
Plastic surgeons have developed several procedures to remedy these issues. By removing or "tucking" the redundant skin, your surgeon can restore normal body proportions and resolve many of the problems that are present after major weight reduction.
During a consultation, Dr. Howrigan will evaluate the areas of your body that can be addressed with this type of surgery. She will then recommend a procedure or series of procedures to help you achieve your goals.
Surgery will vary of course, depending on your individual conditions and the doctor's recommendations. For patients who have experienced massive weight loss, the treatment plan will usually include several stages. Dr. Howrigan will help you plan for each step along the way as you work together toward a better body shape.
What are your questions about post-bariatric body contouring in Boston? Get answers from one of the best plastic surgeons in the Boston area. Contact the office of board-certified plastic surgeon Peggy Howrigan M.D. to schedule your personal consultation. Service areas include: Boston, Newton, Cambridge, Billerica, Billerica, Methuen, Natick, Brockton, Wellesley Hills, Woburn, Framingham, Arlington, Waltham, Concord, Medford, Medford, Quincy, Marlborough and Haverhill Massachusetts.

Over the course of New Orleans Saints football history, the fans have long been heralded as die-hards. Saints fans are often compared to Chicago Cubs fans for their relentless belief that their team will always go all the way.
Last week, Fox 8 contributor Chris Rose posed the question, and during the height of the team's Super Bowl run it certainly seemed as though no other team's female fans could match a female Who Dat's fervor, fashion sense and knowledge of the game.
So. we ask you, do you think the Saints' female fans are the best in the NFL?

Tuning in to public radio this weekend, we came across an interesting interview about the many health effects stemming from Americans' increasingly sedentary lifestyles. Dr. James Levine, a physician at the Mayo Clinic, has studied how average daily activity has changed for people in just the last two or three generations, as our society has moved from one centered around manual labor to one that enables – some might even say encourages – a more sedentary lifestyle.
Dr. Levine is one of many physicians concerned about how this less active lifestyle affects our bodies and health, and the conversation with him touched on several interesting ways to add more activity into our daily routines.
You've probably heard before the recommendation to boost daily activity by taking the stairs when possible, or changing your habit of seeking out parking spots that minimize required walking. Dr. Levine endorses these sorts of changes, along with more dramatic changes, such as installing a treadmill at one's work station, or conducting work meetings while walking around your office park or city block.
Dr. Levine says that changes like these can burn calories, counteract fatigue, and improve mental performance. And an added bonus? Dr. Levine says meetings conducted on foot are just as productive as traditional office meetings – but average 10 fewer minutes in duration.

LB Shayon Green recovered from two knee surgeries
For as long as Tifton (Ga.) County High School coach Jay Walls can remember, Shayon Green never had a problem with injuries.
"He never missed a practice for me in three years," Walls said. "Of course, he played through a lot of pain but he was never really hurt."
That, obviously, has changed for Green over the years.
A lot.
For Green, his UM career has seemed nothing but injury after injury.
After injury.
But there is hope for Green, now a redshirt sophomore defensive end. He's finally healthy after enduring two season-ending right knee injuries. He received his first playing time on defense last week against Bethune-Cookman, and likely to remain in the rotation. He is listed as a backup end on both sides.
"First of all, an amazing story on his part," UM coach Al Golden said. "Just to be able to do what he did (last) Saturday is unbelievable."
Nearly six months ago, Green tore the ACL in his right knee for a second time. He sustained the first injury before the start of his freshman season. When Walls heard it happened again, he was immediately heartbroken.
Walls had just seen Green a few weeks prior when he returned home for spring break. Green spent the entire week working out at his old high school, with hopes of it leading to more playing time. He lifted weights alone. He ran wind sprints with former teammates.
At first, it appeared the extra preparation would pay off. Green, who was recruited as a linebacker, made the switch in the spring after Golden took over.
Green was listed as the starting defensive end before the knee injury occurred.
"The second time it happened I was down at first," Green said. "And then I had the surgery [in late March] and I did what I had to do."
Green said rehab the second time around was easier because he knew what to expect. His quick recovery led to him seeing the field against Bethune-Cookman. After three years, he was finally in the spot where he wanted to be all along.
"The first play I was so excited, I guess I overdid it," Green said. "As the game went on, I got more comfortable with it."

College Hockey:Princeton Shocks St. Lawrence in Appleton
Tigers Break Eight-Game Losing Streak
CANTON, N.Y. — Senior wing Shane Campbell scored two goals and assisted on two others as Princeton snapped an eight-game losing streak with a 6-4 upset of St. Lawrence.
The Tiger victory was the first for Princeton since December 8 and improves Princeton to 6-11-3 overall and 5-6-2 in the ECAC. The loss ended a five game unbeaten streak for St. Lawrence and was the first to Princeton in the last five meetings. The Saints are now 10-9-4 overall and 7-3-3 in the ECAC.
"Princeton played an outstanding game," said Saint coach Joe Marsh. "They came at us from start to finish and had an answer each time we tried to get back into it. They are a very well coached team and really worked hard at both ends of the ice."
Princeton, coming off a three-week layoff for exams, celebrated its return to the ice with the game just 1:23 old as senior center Ethan Doyle got behind the Saint defense, took a pass from wing Josh Roberts and tucked the puck just inside the post to give the Tigers the early lead.
St. Lawrence got that one back on its first power play opportunity of the game as senior Mike Gellard scored his 15th goal of the season, banking the puck in off Tiger goalie Dave Stathos from along the goal line at 6:19.
Princeton regained the lead at 11:23 of the first period when defenseman Matt Maglione rolled a soft backhand shot toward net and senior Shane Campbell tipped it past Saint goalie Sean Coakley at 11:23.
The Tigers took advantage of Saint giveaways in the defensive end in the second period and built a 4-1 lead. Defenseman David Schneider cut in front and tucked Campbell's pass under Coakley for his fifth goal of the season at 10:14 and Campbell scored his second of the night on a wrap-around as he came out from behind the net unmolested at 12:23.
Gellard tapped home a rebound of Erik Anderson's shot off Stathos' glove on a Saint power play at 14:58 to temporarily stem the tide, but Scott Prime scored his second of the period on a power play rebound shot at 18:03 to give the Tigers a 5-2 lead after two periods.
St. Lawrence battled back in the third period as Jack O'Brien scored his fourth goal of the year just 1:22 into the period, but Princeton's George Parros answered that 1:23 later with his fifth of the season. Gellard completed a hat trick, all on the power play, when he scored his 17th of the year at 11:26 of the third, but Stathos, who had 17 of his 35 saves in the final period, held the Saints off the rest of the way.
"We had good success on the power play, but we shot ourselves in the foot in the defensive end in the second period," Marsh said. "We left people all alone in front of Sean way too often.
"It was one of those nights when things didn't go the right way, but we've got to put it behind us and get ready for Yale on Saturday."

The Name Game
By templedf on Jun 20, 2006
All my life, I have been afflicted by a strange curse. My name is Daniel, but people constantly call me David. I can understand when someone is reading my name from a handwritten note, but my curse goes well beyond handwritten notes. For example, orally. I have more than once introduced myself to someone, "hi, my name is Daniel," only to hear, "nice to meet you, David."
My curse has now reached a new low. It has now found its way into email:
Thanks, David. ... -----Original Message----- Chris, Unfortunately, right now there isn't a good solution to your problem.... Daniel
I actually find it rather refreshing that in a comment to my Dogblading post, someone called me Dale. Who am I, anyway?

Resolutions often don't make it past January 31. But if you set them up as simple, baby steps toward your goal, you just might be able to keep it up. By the end of the year, your baby steps may turn into leaps. Here are five simple resolutions for your family to try this year:
1. Eat a fruit or vegetable before the rest of a meal
The big goal here is to eat more healthfully and improve your diet. But it's daunting to make the resolution to eat healthy all the time. After one misstep, you'll feel you've already failed. To keep it easy, decide to eat a fruit or veggie first, before you dive into the pasta or steak. Do this for at least one meal a day or all meals if you can.
2. Add one family dinner to your weekly routine
If your family already eats together every night, good for you! The reality for many however, is that our lives have grown so hectic, that it's rare to have everyone around the table at once. Resolve to add at least one family meal to the weekly schedule to increase quality family time. It may be hard to get everyone to connect, but everyone's got to eat. Younger children delight in having a full table. While older children may grumble, having the stability of a fully present family, even for a few fleeting moments, is a grounding source for them.
3. Schedule fitness into your appointment book
Make yourself a priority on your agenda. Schedule a meeting with yourself to exercise and do something good for your own body. When it's built into your calendar, you will schedule other stuff around it and you'll be less likely to replace it with "more important" things to do. If you already have fitness on your calendar, step it up with an extra session each week.
4. Make a monthly date with our great city
Despite a collective, but undeserving low self-esteem, Cleveland is a great place to live. Once a month, treat yourself and discover our fine city. Fabulous dining, art, music, theater, parks and museums await you. For free fun, search "Cleveland events free" and see what comes up.
5. End each day with positive thoughts
You are what you think about. Instead of worrying about troubles or petty things that happened today, focus your thoughts on positive things as you drift off to sleep. List all the little things you are grateful for and set your mind to the outcomes you desire. You'll set up your subconscious mind to focus on the positive goal for the rest of the night. As noted by internationally renowned speaker and author, Wayne Dyer, PhD., the power of positive thinking cannot be understated.

By phone, by mail, by internet — you can still get into the Greatest Golfer of the Valley tourney put on by The Vindicator and Farmers National Bank.
We're taking golfer signups until Wednesday at 4 p.m.
The 3-day "Greatest" tourney is Sept. 11, 12 and 18 at Mill Creek, Trumbull Country Club and The Lake Club. It's $100 to get in, and that fee covers your golf and carts for two rounds.
Yes --- it's a great deal. (Some golfers are calling thinking there are still greens fees to pay after the $100 entry fee. There are no more fees!)
If you want more "Greatest" info or want see more of the 100+ golfers who've already grabbed a seat on the "Greatest" bus, click here.
Deadline for signup is next Wednesday. Get signed up today. Email or call Editor Todd Franko at 747-1471, ext. 1253 or email at email@example.com.
if you're worried about work and Saturday dinners and such, tee times will start at 10 a.m. and continue through 2 p.m. or so. Play will be at Mill Creek on Saturday and Trumbull on Sunday.
When a guy's email address includes "makenbirdy," other golfers should take note.
That's Glenn Milton's email address, and he's in the hunt to be "Greatest Golfer of the Valley."
Milton is among the latest registrants as the overall "Greatest" field looks to cross the 100-golfer mark.
Milton is in the scratch division, playing out of Mill Creek Golf Course. Another recent registrant joining Milton in scratch is Price Gordon out of Flying B Golf Course.
The "regular guys" division (guys above a 12 handicap) beefed up a bit with Poland's Dennis Meli and Boardman's Rob Rule. Meli plays out of The Lake Club and Rule plays at Squaw Creek.
I agree dubfun - I should sign-up too. The only problem is that I would be dq'd on the first hole for taking to much time searching for my first drive...
May the 3 of us can attach the course together. I haven't golfed in years. I trust we would surely have a lot of laughs. I lose my golf ball all the time, but I'm good at finding others. What do you guys say?
You might as well close the entries now because nobody will be able to beat Chris Econumus. He is one of the finest players in the area and spends a lot more time golfing than he does working in his doctor's office.......
Sorry to have bumped some of the comments.
But what works as good, fun poking in the locker room or at the 19th hole can run the risk of getting out of control on a message board.
So have fun about golf in general, but please be careful about the one-liners.
"Greatest" bandleader
There are so many good players in the area, Karzmer has to get off his ass and contact all the leagues and counry clubs to recruit these guys....80 sign ups, hell there are 80 guys in the Y league who could qualify with handicaps under 12......
to make this contest relevant there should be 200 golfers signed up!!

Charges filed against suspect in attempted robbery at Rally(KMOV)-- A warrant has been issued against one of the suspects involved in the attempted armed robbery at a Rallys in South St. Louis.
Daryl Ingram, 31, is charged with First-Degree assault, two counts of Armed Criminal Action and First-Degree Attempted Robbery. Ingram remains in the hospital.
The robbery victim who fired the first shots in the gunfight will not be charged with any crimes.
According to officials, the attempted robbery happened in a Rallys parking lot near Gravois and Jefferson around 6 p.m. on Monday.
Police say the two alleged robbers hopped in the backseat of a couple's car, displayed guns and announced a robbery. The 26-year-old driver pulled out his own gun and shot one Ingram in the stomach and the other suspect in the head. Ingram ran from the scene but collapsed nearby.
The driver was shot in the leg, but he was released from the hospital late Monday night.
The suspect shot in the head is listed in critical condition. Ingram is listed in serious condition.
Police say they believe this was a case of a victim defending himself. The victim, who was shot in both legs, allegedly took the first shots at the suspected robbers. All three weapons used in the incident were recovered at the scene.
The investigation is ongoing.

Man, it sure is getting crazy around here. To think these idiots will go out and attempt this in areas that allow citizens to defend themselves in public.
