You just fought your health's biggest adversary – cancer. But as a survivor of cancer, you still have to journey on the road to full recovery. So just like you claimed victory over cancer, we want to help you do the same during cancer rehabilitation. Our Covenant HealthCare STAR Program® in Oncology Rehabilitation gives you the extraordinary care you need to restore your health and enjoy the highest quality of life possible.
What makes our Covenant HealthCare STAR Program® so extraordinary?
We are committed to bringing you the highest level of survivorship services.
In recent years, there has been much talk about creating survivorship as a distinct phase of cancer care and providing each patient with a survivorship care plan. At Covenant HealthCare, in Saginaw, MI, we are committed to offering the best available survivorship services. This is why we have implemented the STAR Program® that includes training our staff in the latest oncology rehab care and implementing research-based protocols that have been proven to help cancer survivors optimally heal and function.
We offer comprehensive care that is covered by health insurance.
We are uniquely qualified to offer premium oncology rehabilitation services to cancer survivors undergoing treatment or living with its aftermath. Our program has been created to help survivors physically and emotionally heal from the side effects of treatments. We provide our patients with the most comprehensive rehabilitation care available and all of our services are reimbursable by health insurance providers. Having access to world-class follow up care, without added medical costs, will allow survivors to regain their health and get their lives back on track.
We are committed to helping you reach optimal recovery.
A cancer diagnosis can be traumatic and so can life-saving treatments. Chemotherapy, radiation therapy and surgery can harm health and cause serious medical problems that interfere with daily function and well-being. Survivors are commonly plagued with symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, insomnia, memory loss, fear, anxiety and depression. Covenant HealthCare STAR Program offers important physical and psychological rehabilitation to survivors so they can recover more quickly and more completely than they would otherwise. Feeling well and being able to resume normal day-to-day activities is essential to enjoying a good quality of life for survivors and their families.
Whether you're newly diagnosed or long finished with treatment, we can help.
We serve all survivors in need, whether they are beginning treatment, finished with treatment, or experiencing late effects or unresolved issues from long-ago treatment. Our program is open to everyone no matter the prognosis, cancer stage or phase of recovery. Newly diagnosed patients may want to increase their strength and endurance and prevent future medical problems; survivors living with cancer as a chronic disease may come to us for help managing treatment-related conditions; and individuals who are cured or in remission may enroll in our program with the goal of boosting their immune systems so that they can heal as well as possible.
Our highly trained medical staff awaits you.
Our rehabilitation care, based on conventional medicine, is offered to patients by a knowledgeable and sensitive medical staff, specially trained to treat survivors of all forms of cancer. They are medical experts at the top of their fields and comprise a variety of disciplines:
When evaluating your needs, we look at the "big picture."
Rather than using a "problem-oriented" approach and tackle each health issue as it arises, we address the full spectrum of post-cancer care. When evaluating a patient, in addition to focusing on his or her health conditions and symptoms, we take into consideration diet, sleep issues, existing pain, endurance, strength, exercise habits and emotional outlook. All of these factors have an important effect on physical healing.
We offer you a personalized rehab plan with an interdisciplinary approach.
After undergoing a thorough evaluation by a physician, a "team" of medical specialists to include Medical Social Workers, Occupational Therapists, Pastoral Care, Physicians, Physical Therapists, Registered Dieticians, Registered Nurses, and Speech Language Pathologists are assigned to each patient according to his or her individual needs. The healthcare "team" creates a personalized rehabilitation plan, with the goals of increasing strength and energy, alleviating pain, improving physical functioning, achieving emotional balance and boosting the immune system. Each team member provides his or her expert medical guidance, training, encouragement and support, for the duration of the program.
We are proud to be STAR Program® Certified.
We received our STAR Program Certification from Massachusetts-based Oncology Rehab Partners (ORP), whose unparalleled development, training and support products in oncology rehabilitation give healthcare facilities the capacity to offer quality survivorship care to their patients. Saint Alphonsus' STAR Program successfully executed Oncology Rehab Partners' evaluation and treatment procedure, and our medical staff underwent rigorous rehabilitation training by oncology experts.

What is the STAR Program?
The STAR Program (Survivorship Training and Rehabilitation) is a nationally recognized cancer survivorship certification that focuses on improving the lives of survivors who suffer from the side effects caused by treatments. The STAR Program provides you with coordinated cancer rehabilitation supported by a team of specially trained STAR Clinicians. As a STAR Program patient, you will receive individualized, comprehensive cancer rehabilitation treatment to improve the symptoms affecting your daily functioning and quality of life.
What is Cancer rehabilitation?
Cancer rehabilitation is very similar to other forms of rehabilitation after a serious illness or injury. Services should include consultation with appropriate board-certified or licensed clinicians in rehabilitation medicine, including physiatrists (doctors who specialize in rehabilitation medicine), rehabilitation nurses, and physical, occupational, and speech therapists.
What impairments can be addressed through cancer rehabilitation?
Rehabilitation professionals can help you with a wide variety of treatment-related conditions and their symptoms, including pain, weakness, fatigue, shoulder problems, balance and gait problems, memory and concentration issues, swallowing and speech problems and lymphedema.
How do I create a cancer rehabilitation plan?
Your cancer rehabilitation plan will depend on individualized goals that focus on increasing strength and energy, managing pain and improving your functioning and quality of life. Additional resources are also available to you if you need them. A helpful tool is the STAR Program Survivor Guidebook, which provides valuable tips including how to set specific goals as well as suggestions about exercise, nutrition, and sleep.
What are the benefits of STAR Program® Cancer Rehabilitation?
1. Reduce Fatigue. Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) is one of the most common and disabling problems that cancer survivors face. There is Category 1 level evidence for exercise as an intervention for CRF. However, for cancer survivors who have impairments, it is important to refer them for rehabilitation therapy consultations rather than group exercise classes. This is similar to how stroke survivors and other patients with impairments are rehabilitated. The impairments need to be addressed and a therapeutic exercise program prescribed. Rehabilitation consultations should include physical therapy. Physiatry and occupational therapy may also be consulted.
2. Reduce Pain. Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is also a common problem in many survivors. When treating conditions such as CIPN, it is important to recognize the distinction between impairment and disability. By definition, disability results from impairment (an injured part of the body that may or may not be reversible). Even when impairment, such as CIPN, is not reversible the level of disability can be decreased by research. Many "low-tech" interventions that an occupational therapist would prescribe such as a smart phone, voice-activated software, large handled tools, stress mats and more can help to decrease disability in patients with CIPN. Physical therapist can help decrease disability by focusing on balance, gait and footwear (e.g., extra depth or width shoes, rocker bottom soles). Physiatrists also may play an important role in managing chronic pain and disability from CIPN and sometimes will prescribe medications or other interventions. Therefore, referrals to rehabilitation for CIPN may include physiatry, physical and occupational therapy.
3. Improve Cognitive Function. Many cancer survivors report that they have a "chemo brain" or MCI. Neurocognitive rehabilitation interventions, for example in patients with post-concussive syndromes, have been well studied. Neurocognitive rehabilitation often includes helping people to decrease their level of disability by using various strategies to assist with focus, concentration, attention, memory and organizational skills. Many cancer survivors find referrals to speech-language pathologists and occupational therapists enormously helpful for "chemo-brain." Appropriate referrals for MCI may include physiatry, mental health, speech-language pathology and occupational therapy.

Kevin Love Rules Inside and Out
Kevin Love's fantastic March is closing in on point and rebound numbers last put up by Shaquille O'Neal 11 years ago with the Lakers. Love is filling up the box score with numbers reminiscent of O'Neal's, while playing a style almost completely the opposite of Shaq's.
Love needs 31 points and eight rebounds for Minnesota tonight, in his last game of March, to top O'Neal's March 2001 for the most points and rebounds in a month for a frontcourt player in the last 15 years, as noted in today's Daily Fix column. They've gotten those points and rebounds in very different ways. O'Neal attempted 22 three-pointers and made just one in 50,017 career regular-season and postseason minutes over his career. That's one three-pointer attempted in every 2,273.5 minutes, or one per 47 regulation games plus a few overtimes. Love, meanwhile, is 46 for 102 on threes in March alone. And yet, despite camping out behind the three-point line on so many offensive possessions, he's gathering as many offensive rebounds as Shaq did during his run.
Love isn't in more than one place at one time, but you could be forgiven for thinking so from his March stat line. On the one hand, his shooting and scoring stats are those of a big man who is most comfortable scoring with his touch from outside and the free-throw line, such as Dirk Nowitzki or Rashard Lewis. But on the other hand, he's gathering offensive boards at a rate more appropriate for a big man such as Shaq who spends most of his time near the basket.
This all adds up to a singular performance, not just in March but this entire season. In March, Love has 46 threes and 66 offensive rebounds. That's tied for the 24th-highest number of threes in a single March since 1985-86, with one game to play. (And by the way, the shortened, condensed schedule isn't doing him any favors; he's played 15 games in the month, while Shaq played 17 in March 2001.) Nobody with as many threes in March as Love had even half as many offensive boards as he does. Meanwhile, his 66 offensive rebounds in March place him in a tie for 61st since '85-86. No one with that many offensive boards in the month reached even double digits in three pointers. And this hasn't resulted just from a few fluky games — Love has at least one three in each game in March, good for a tie for the 12th-longest such streak in the NBA this season.
For the season, Love is averaging two three-pointers per game and 4.2 offensive rebounds. No one ever has sustained such high averages for a whole season while playing at least 40 games. Just five other times has a player even averaged one three pointer and three offensive rebounds. Love is gathering 11.5% of all available offensive rebounds this season — just above Shaq's 11.3% the year he had such big March numbers.
Or to slice Love's stats one other way: His true shooting percentage, which takes into account his free-throw shooting and three-point shooting, is more than 25% higher than his field-goal percentage. It takes accuracy and a high level of production from the free-throw line and behind the three-point line to maintain that big a difference. (By comparison, O'Neal — with his famously poor touch from the free-throw line — had a field-goal percentage of 57.2% and a true-shooting percentage of 57.4% in 2000-01.) Love also had a true-shooting percentage that was more than 25% above his field-goal percentage last year. If he maintains it this year he'll be just the fourth player 6 feet 10 or taller to have at least two such seasons. The other three are Nowitzki, Lewis and Hedo Turkoglu. Lewis has the highest offensive-rebounding average of the three, with 1.5 per game in his career. Love is averaging 3.9 per game.
Love's overall point and rebound numbers are no doubt impressive, but what really defies history — and basketball geometry — are his three-point and offensive-rebound numbers. With Ricky Rubio out for the season since March 9 with a knee injury, Minnesota has needed Love to be everywhere and do everything, and he's done his best to deliver.

Mr. Hermes Maldonado is buying a home. Again.
You may have run across his story in the Denver media, although he lives in California - where he has his eye on a $170,000 four-bedroom demesne, on which he will pay a minimum amount up front, financing the rest with a loan guaranteed by the Federal Housing Administration. His story is instructive as we approach the "fiscal cliff" and the Washington Full-Contact Steel Cage Death Match over how to avoid it. Here's why:
The last time Mr. Maldonado owned a home he used it as a cash machine, refinancing four times to take money out and running up a $45,000 credit card bill to live rather large, as his Cadillac and Mercedes attested. In 2009, he declared bankruptcy, wiping out his sizeable debts; it was the second time he'd done that. Now, taxpayers are going to guarantee his new mortgage. Good luck.
There are probably tens of thousands of borrowers like Mr. Maldonado in the FHA's portfolio of loans. Exactly how many, the FHA isn't saying, but there are enough to have a special group title: "rebound buyers." Programs catering to their circumstances are known variously as "FHA Portfolio Advantage," "FHA 580 Credit Score" or more accurately, "FHA Low Credit Score" loans. One needs a down payment of 3.5 percent and a minimal credit score of 500 to qualify. Past bankruptcies are no bar, provided they occurred more than three years previously. The FHA either doesn't care about how much of its one trillion dollar portfolio consists of this sort of loan, or it knows but won't tell its owners because it fears the ensuing panic.
Yes, the FHA has owners. They are called taxpayers. And if the FHA continues to lose money at the rate it has over the past three years, we will have to bail it out, to the tune of about $16 billion - probably early next year.
Aren't shaky financial dealings like this what supposedly caused the financial implosion and housing debacle of 2007-08, and the much-maligned bailouts that followed? So why are "faceless bureaucrats" now taking the place of "greedy bankers" in extending loans to borrowers so sub-prime that even Lenny the Squeeze wouldn't touch them? This time, we can't plead ignorance: Edward Pinto, former chief credit officer at Fannie Mae spoke for many when he wrote in a 2009 Wall Street Journal article that "...I've never seen an entity successfully outrun a situation like this."
Well, there's "fairness." It just isn't right that all those folks who put themselves so far in hock they couldn't buy daylight on the installment plan are frozen out of the housing market because of a silly little credit rating, is it?
There are beneficiaries. Realtors, developers, builders, and lenders all stand to gain big from easy money and loose lending standards, so they lobby like crazy to insure that the party continues to roll.
And there are tools: politicians get a big bump when housing sales and starts begin to rise, so they're not about to say no to the carnival.
It's a perfect example of moral hazard: access to money on easy terms regardless of past history of mismanagement, profligacy or bankruptcy, with taxpayers picking up the tab for any default. You, too, can be Lehman Brothers.
And that isn't all. If one is over 62, there's another deal, and we're not talking Social Security. For an "empty-nester" who decides to downsize, the FHA's HECM4P program will not only provide the means to purchase a new residence, it offers a reverse mortgage which provides monthly payments for one's lifetime - even after equity in the home is exhausted. The program also indemnifies one's estate and heirs against having to cover the cost of a short sale, in case the residence can't be sold for the amount owing. Who's liable for the difference? According to the Department of Housing and Urban Development, "FHA insures HECM loans to protect lenders against loss..." In other words, taxpayers are holding the bag.
Should they be? The above are relatively small programs on the "entitlement" side of the federal budget, but to paraphrase senator Everett McKinley Dirksen, a billion here and a billion there, and pretty soon we're talking about real money. Those advocating for these programs should do so publicly and willingly, beginning with an explanation of what in the Constitution mandates that money should be taken from successful Americans to cover the debts of the spendthrift, the reckless, the squanderite or the merely unlucky. This is one among many relevant questions as we move "Forward" toward the edge of the abyss.
If minor annoyances like the Constitution even matter any more.

Building on Open UI: UX Strategy for Siebel: Tablets, Pharma, Field Service, and More
By Ultan O'Broin Oracle UX-Oracle Paas4SaaS-Oracle on Dec 15, 2013
Check out this great video of Oracle Sales Consultant and UX Sales Ambassador Michael Klein interviewing Uma Welingkar of the Siebel product team. Usable Apps previously chatted with Uma about the Siebel Open UI and the free resources available to implementors and builders to make the UX go further, so we were keen to know more...
This video update, made at Oracle OpenWorld 2013, explains new Siebel functionality for different roles and devices, enabling customers to offer an optimal UX for their users, one that's demanded by today's CRM users, and providing even more return on investment for Siebel customers.
Special mention is made of disconnected offering for pharma sales reps and field service engineers, citizen self-service, revamp of customer dashboards, and lots more. Whether its sales or service, as Uma says, UX is about listening to customers's stories at events like OOW13 and through customer panels and presentations and then responding with specific applications to their needs. A nice shout out for how wireframes as part of this process is there too. Customers and partners take note!

With support for Smart Groups, Tagging, TextMate Bundles and much more Code Collector Pro is the best way to store, organise and share code snippets on the Mac
Required OS: 10.6
Tags: code , collector , pro , snippets , search , textmate
6 Opinions
This App is, as far as I can tell, the only dedicated code snippet application with syntax highlighting. I purchased a license for this mainly because I wanted to road test it in real world scenarios. It works well but could be improved in several areas:
A more comprehensive syntax highlighting library is needed
A menu bar item for quick access to favorite code snippets
I like the fact that there is a services item to add to Code Collector Pro. This App is basic but does the job, with good search feature. I see a lot of potential for this application and would recommend it for anyone who needs a central place to collect their code.
I like this tool. A nice feature would be a back-up functionality on a FTP, WebDAV server.
Day when I will see integration with remote services (like snipplr for example) would be the day when I will become their customer...
For me to buy this, I'd very much like to see some features similar to those in iSnip added.
In particular, I'm looking for a status bar menu! This, in order to easier reach your snippets and paste them into the current document you're working in.
Very good application with excellent syntax highlighting - the price is reasonable too and helps you keep all the code in one tidy place.
Way too basic for that price.

Highlanders Fall 61-51 to Principia College
December 7, 2013
The MacMurray College shooting percentage rivaled the temperatures outside Saturday in a 61-51 loss Saturday afternoon at Principia College. The Highlanders trailed only 25-24 at the half and exchanged leads with the Panthers several times throughout the contest.
Coach Derek James' club shot a cold 29% from the field and connected on only one of ten 3-pt. field goals in the second half and faded down the stretch.
Junior center Megan Duisen had nine points and a team-high eleven rebounds in the loss. Cydny Saxer had nine points and KayDee Carmody added eight points.
Freshman guard Rachel Perea had a huge game for the host Panthers with twenty points, fourteen rebounds, eights steals and three blocked shots in the win.
The Highlanders will host three teams next weekend in the MacMurray College Classic Tournament; which starts Friday at 5PM with Greenville College taking on Saint Mary of the Woods College and the Highlanders hosting Calumet College of St. Joseph at 8PM.

Early in the second half, Heidelberg University had Marietta College down for the count.
Then, late during regulation time, the Pioneers had the Student Princes all but beat.
Perhaps fittingly, two overtime sessions were played.
In all, there were 15 lead changes and eight ties.
It simply was one of the greatest men's basketball games ever played at Ban Johnson Arena.
At the end of the second OT, Marietta prevailed 92-89 to the delight of the partisan crowd, and Heidelberg had a lot of time to think about what had just happened on its 4-hour bus ride back to Tiffin.
"That game was probably one for the ages, I think" said Marietta head coach Jon VanderWal. "Our kids made a ton of plays, and their kids made a ton of plays. We just got lucky enough to make enough for us in the end."
Thing is, Heidelberg got off to a good start, and led 39-27 at the half. Marietta, on the other hand, was simply in a word...awful, during the first 20 minutes of court action.
"We probably played as bad of a first half that we could possibly play," VanderWal said. "At halftime, I got after them a little bit to be honest with you.
"We just tried to re-focus them."
Fortunately for the Pioneers, they had a whole half to catch up.
At the start of the second half, Jacob Owens hit MC's first three of the game. But then all of a sudden, Heidelberg has a run, and is now leading by 17 points, 47-30.
"We didn't start the second half particularly well," VanderWal said.
But after MC went down 17, it finally dawned on the Pioneers that if they didn't get their act together real quick, this game was going to end up as a loss.
"It looked like we were dead," VanderWal said. "But then I think when it got up to 17, our kids finally started making some plays - and we're a dangerous ballclub when we start making plays."
With people like Tyler Worstell, Garrett Stephenson, J.J. Martin, and Tyler Hammond making the majority of the big plays in the second half, Marietta slowly but surely whittled away at the deficit, and finally caught and surpassed Heidelberg. With 26 seconds left in regulation, the Pioneers had a six-point lead and appeared to be on the verge of a come-from-behind victory.
But wait a doggone minute. During the time remaining, it was the Student Princes turn to rally, and they did so when Mike Petrie hit two, long three-bombs to tie the game and send it into overtime.
Just who was this Petrie guy? Going into the game, he was averaging five points a contest.
"Petrie, he wasn't a guy we were focused on all week," VanderWal said. "I guess we should have been. He shot it really well today. He played great."
Great, like in finishing with a game-high 26 points on eight of 11 from 3-point range.
Late in the first overtime, Marietta was one missed shot from being defeated. But coming to the rescue was Worstell, who drained a clutch three with 10 seconds remaining to send it into a second OT.
In what turned out to be the final extra session, It was Hammond's time to shine as the junior point scored his team's last seven points to secure a hard-fought Pioneer triumph.
"I feel like we took Heidelberg's best shot," VanderWal said.
In a game for the ages.

I've always suggested to students that they read ahead in the text to have some idea of what is to be discussed in class, but that suggestion hasn't always been successful. Some students have ignored my advice knowing they will survive by coming to class, while others have struggled to comply, but found that the text really wasn't readable. My wish for previews that students could really read and work through came true for one class when we revised our Precalculus course.
When our department decided to require graphing calculators for Precalculus, we were concerned about the financial burden that this (together with the purchase of a text) would place on our students. We decided that we could generate our own handouts for the course so that we wouldn't need a text. A colleague and I agreed to collaborate on this project. As we outlined and discussed the format of our handouts, our summer project expanded into a summer spent writing a text.
Each chapter of the text is composed of three parts: a preview, a lesson, and a problem set. The preview discussion and problems are to be done by study groups prior to the presentation of the chapter in class. These previews act as levelers---everyone comes to class with some knowledge to contribute to the development of the chapter. The lesson section of the chapter is very concise. Examples are included only when essential, avoiding templates from which students can model their solutions to problems. The problem sets contain a variety of problems, including applications whenever possible.
We are not suggesting that it is necessary to write one's own text to initiate class discussion and collaboration. While we are pleased with the entire text and the changes it has produced in our classes, we believe the previews are the key to our success. Consequently, we are advocating that carefully developed previews can be used in any math class to foster collaborative learning.
The nature of the previews we've developed for Precalculus varies over a wide spectrum from reviews of prerequisite material to guided development of formulas and identities. As we began to write each preview, we first asked ourselves what prerequisite knowledge we would assume for the chapter and how we could guide students to recall and review it. Then we focused on how much of the chapter's content could be discovered by students through experimentation with the graphing calculator, by applying geometry and algebra, or through guided step-by-step examples that could be generalized.
One of the most successful previews has been the one shown below, which introduced the chapter on composite and inverse functions. In developing this lesson in class, I only had to provide the definition of a composite function and the notation for an inverse function. Everything else sprang from the students' discussion of their work on the preview.
These previews have allowed us to change our classes from lecture classes into classes focusing on problem-solving and discussion. They have allowed us to ``flesh out'' the lessons in class and develop our own examples. Having done this, both the development of the lesson and the solving of the problems in the problem sets become collaborative ventures. In addition to the change in the atmosphere of our classes, we have seen measurable success in another sense. Prior to the use of this approach, each year we had approximately 25% of our Precalculus students either withdraw from the course at midterm or fail at the end. Now only 14% do so.

VAIL, Colorado - The town of Vail is pursuing the installation of synthetic infields at Ford Park, but the public still has a chance to comment on why synthetic turf might be a good or bad addition to the park's athletic fields.
Town of Vail Capital Projects Manager Todd Oppenheimer told the Vail Town Council Tuesday night that town staff determined very early in the process that in order to get a two-field layout for soccer and lacrosse at Ford Park, there's no option but to use the softball infields.
The use of a natural turf outfield and synthetic turf infield is called Hybrid Sport Fields, considered state-of-the-art and common throughout the country, according to a Vail staff memo to the town council.
"Hybrid Sport Filed Systems and preferred by facility managers, organizers, coaches and players. The fields are safe, easier and less expensive to maintain, drain quickly when wet and hold up better to the intense use that comes with tournament play," according to the memo.
Vail Recreation District Executive Director Mike Ortiz said the district has never promised more teams in Vail or a longer season as a result of turf fields, and chose not to turf the entire park. For safety reasons, though, Ortiz said there's no other way to build two full-size soccer/lacrosse fields without the synthetic turf in the softball infields.
Safety-wise, Ortiz said the town has to step up.
"The fields are in pretty bad shape right now," Ortiz said, adding that there are waves and lips in the fields and below-standard irrigation. "It's time to improve - to keep pace with the rest of the town - keep working so we can attract events and groups here."
What the district is proposing is a foundation within the ground - one that isn't affected by frost - that runs along the perimeter of the field. The synthetic material is then wrapped over that foundation and attached to the side of it, Oppenheimer said.
"Then the natural turf outfield is brought to that at the same elevation," Oppenheimer said.
That synthetic turf has about an 8-year life, he said, adding that the town would rely on the designers of the field to pick the right material for Vail's climate.
Users of the fields at Ford Park have written to the Vail Recreation District in support of the turf option. Jim and David Soran, co-directors of the Vail Lacrosse Shootout tournament, wrote in a July 2012 letter that turf provides better quality field conditions, in safer than grass and dirt and is less affected by the weather.
"We feel that turf fields would provide an improved overall experience for the organizers of our event as well as the players and spectators," they wrote.
Vail Homeowners Association Executive Director Jim Lamont, however, said the subject of turf was a subject "of great debate and discussion." He accused the current council of baking away from promises a previous council made. He told them that integrity is at stake.
"Commitments were made and I think they need to be respected," Lamont said.
But council members disagreed with Lamont's position that they're breaking any promises. Councilwoman Margaret Rogers said taking a dirt infield and replacing it with artificial turf for safety reasons isn't the same as taking the natural turf and making it artificial.
"We're replacing dirt," Rogers said. "I don't think it's relevant."
Because Tuesday night's discussion was presented on the town council agenda under "Town Manager's report," Mayor Andy Daly said he didn't feel comfortable moving forward without more public input. Other members pointed out that materials about the turf were included in the council agenda packet and the public would have been plenty aware.
The council's blessing Tuesday doesn't mean the fake turf gets a green light. The town's Design Review Board will review the materials and field design before anything is officially approved. The town has issued a request for proposals for the project and that deadline is March 1.

In Real Life examines the shifting paradigms of our digital age. In the last 20 years we have become so preoccupied with new technological wonders that we have barely noticed their effect on human contact. Around the globe, people crave old-fashioned interaction, yet many seek immediate gratification through the Internet. Not taking into account possible ramifications, quick fixes lead to anxiety, loneliness, and disconnection.
Putting secret desires out into the cyber world while leading a double life certainly has its consequences. As we become aware that the digital world may not bring us happiness, we must reevaluate what we want from life.
A 43-year-old shoe salesman collapses on an escalator. Morning commuters step over him as if he isn't even there. He hides his cancer diagnosis from his family. A co-worker marvels that he filmed a sex session on his iPhone and can readily access it anytime to brag to friends; his advice to the disenchanted midlifer is to find a distraction: "It's the Internet! It's loaded with pussy!"
A happily married man of 26 years explores his homosexual fantasies with a much younger college boy. His Instant Message cheating and texting blur his perception of fantasy and reality.
A woman meets a wonderful man on the computer. When he is gone, she seeks to replace him in the same way. But trying to fill the void only leads to more emptiness.
Director Jonas Elmer's cinematic essay collects three years of improvised acting by the cast. Humanity reaches out for flesh and blood, hoping for response. Distractions must not prevent us from living in the moment.

Why Lou Reed Can't Die
Why can't we let go of Lou Reed? The quintessentially urban singer and songwriter died one month ago, in the suburbs, of all places. He was a New Yorker who had only one real hit, "Walk on the Wild Side." Yet the obituaries and tributes have kept pouring out, as if some vast dam in the collective consciousness has been breached. In the weeks after his death, Lou Reed has finally achieved the cultural moment he never quite had in life.
It has taken until now to begin to get our arms around his legacy. There was a poem in The New Yorker by Nick Flynn ("since the news I can't stop listening to him"), then an appreciation by Patti Smith. ("He was our generation's New York Poet, championing its misfits as Whitman had championed its workingman and Lorca its persecuted.") The bloggers talked about his irreplaceablity, his influence, his coolness.
Why is this happening? Why do we struggle to understand him? The answer, I think, lies in a style that was consistently disruptive, amazingly, over five decades. Reed refused to be pigeonholed. From his earliest days with the Velvet Underground in the late 1960s to his long solo career — boosted by David Bowie — he kept evolving and pushing beyond his own limitations. In this way, he resembles his onetime mentor, Andy Warhol, who stood in the middle of pop culture but also outside of it — mocking it, commenting on it.
Consider the contradictions. Reed was a singer who could not carry a tune. He aspired to bring all the narrative techniques of the novel to his lyrics — populating his songs with society's outcasts — but his greater influence may have been in his sound itself, with its groaning guitars and unmelodic melodies. Lou Reed was a protean figure of rock who comprised many of the sub-elements of the form — punk, glam, indie, new wave, and noise rock.
Robert Ray, a film studies professor in Florida who for years played the Velvets' music with a rock band called The Vulgar Boatmen, sees in Reed a strong attempt to bring the goals of high art to a popular form. In that way, Reed resembled the be-bop movement in jazz, which rejected the conventions of swing, or the New Wave in cinema, which rejected the Hollywood models. If Reed's leathery style pleased the critics, it did not always please the public. "The boppers did not make music for dancing," Ray points out. "You had to sit and listen. Hence the emergence or R&B, always designed for dancing. The Velvets' music, with its slower tempos and drones, also discourages dancing."
Another academic who plays in a rock band, Nigel Smith of Princeton, says that what makes Reed most elusive is not his subject matter — the darkest angels of our nature — but rather the texture of his effort to describe it. It was not just what he said but how he said it — defiant, different, disturbing.
Today, if someone wants to praise a new band, they will call them "the New Velvet Underground." Reed is still a link to the original counter-culture. Our culture needed him in the way we need all transgressive figures in order to move ahead. We finally do move ahead. And yet that is what makes it so hard for us to let go.

7 Yoga Poses That Can Give You a Sore Back
If you're not thoughtful about the way you move, your "om" could turn into a serious "ouch." Here are 7 simple yoga exercises that can cause back pain -- and how to stay safe
To correct this, lightly bend your knees and focus on rotating your body forward from your pelvis. Keep the stretch feeling balanced through your hip, hamstring, and lower back. "This releases the intense strain on your back and allows for a more even and safe extension of your body," she says. Be sure that you keep the natural curve of the spine as well. If you're completely rounded, it's a sign that your core hasn't joined the party.

As a 15 yr gymnast and black let in martial arts people think I am unaffected by yoga. I am very hyperexstensive and blew out my back afew years ago, which makes yoga much harder for me than the average person. Most of these moves are accurate and actually make my back pain worse than any gymnastic moves I still do. I now avoid yoga since it only forced me to relax my mind these days. Great article.

I always thought those yoga moves were meant to stretch your back. I believe that if you are doing them correctly its okay to do it. I have a bad back and these yoga moves helps it feel a lot better.

Wait a minute, these are all basic yoga moves. Been doing yoga for almost 20 years. My mantra is if it hurts, don't do it!

Good to know...thanks for the tips!

Good tips... although any activity, even sitting, can be bad for your back! If you want to do the more difficult poses, it's a good idea to have a yoga instructor examine your form closely. I just recently have been able to do bridge!

When Bruce Springsteen lamented back in 1992 about "57 Channels (And Nothin' On)" none of us could have imagined a time when viewers were bombarded by hundreds of broadcast, cable and, now, Web-produced options. And with the recent news that Microsoft and Yahoo are ready to produce original programming, the battle for America's eyeballs is hotter than ever.
"It's more like 15 million channels now and a lot of things are on," jokes Andrew Wallenstein, who covers all things digital for Variety. "It's pretty mind-boggling."
But is it good for overwhelmed consumers, who at the end of the day, just want to relax and lose themselves in a quality show, be it on their TV screen, computer, tablet or phone?
Matt Roush, the longtime senior critic for TV Guide, is tasked with keeping tabs on a multitude of shows, so he knows firsthand how frazzled consumers can be.
"It's both exciting and terrifying," he says of the ever-growing glut. Exciting because new pipelines "possibly open the door for something we might not see on traditional TV." Terrifying because "we're being torn in all directions."
"There's only so much bingeing you can do in your life," he says.
Microsoft and Yahoo are the latest technology companies looking to disrupt the traditional model of video delivery by creating original content. It would bring them into competition not just with cable programmers and broadcasters, but companies like Netflix, Amazon and Hulu, which are already producing their own shows.
As was reported earlier this week, Yahoo wants to produce big-budget comedies, an ambitious step up from the shorter Web series on which the Sunnyvale Internet company has previously focused. Not to be outdone, Yahoo search partner Microsoft has six shows prepared to launch globally in June that will stream through the tech firm's gaming consoles, according to Bloomberg News. The shows include comedies from Seth Green and the team of Sarah Silverman and Michael Cera, as well as a science fiction show about humanoid robot workers.
The Washington tech giant also has a dozen other shows in development under former CBS executive and Danville native Nancy Tellem, who knows how difficult it is these days to break through the clutter.
"This is not an easy business," she told Bloomberg. "There's a huge failure rate. You have to get up to the plate a lot. Hopefully, we can have a higher batting average than most, but it's a long process."
This expansive push comes during a so-called "golden age" of television -- an era that has spawned extraordinary and buzz-worthy shows including HBO's "Game of Thrones," AMC's "Mad Men," and CBS's "The Good Wife," to name a few. It has been such a fruitful period that many cultural observers claim television exceeds motion pictures in terms of creative ambition.
And having more players in the field apparently is fueling some of that creativity. John Landgraf, the Oakland-raised president of the FX Network, recently told a gathering of TV critics that in 2002, when the network launched the groundbreaking crime series, "The Shield," there were 33 scripted shows on basic and premium cable alone. This year, he noted, there will be about 180.
"Competition from Netflix, Amazon, Hulu and others certainly raises the bar," he said. "But if we make a great show, people are still likely to find it and watch it."
Last year, Netflix became the first tech company to break through the clutter when the slick political drama, "House of Cards" earned critical raves and an Emmy nomination for best drama. Netflix also drew a lot of attention with "Orange Is the New Black," an unconventional women's prison comedy.
On the other hand, Amazon failed to make much noise with its first two original comedies, "Alpha House" and "Betas," shows that, according to Wallenstein, were "decent but failed to move the needle very much in terms of buzz." Amazon renewed "Alpha House," a political comedy starring John Goodman, for a second season, but canceled "Betas," a show set in Silicon Valley. Not to be deterred, Amazon recently ordered six new series, including a drama from "X Files" creator Chris Carter.
Roush says the glut of programming has created a sense of "anxiety" among some pop culture devotees who can't possibly keep up with it all.
"There's this fear that you're missing out on something," he says. "You hear people raving about 'The Walking Dead,' or some other show, and you feel like you're not in the know. Even if you really love TV, you can't help but think that there's already too much of it and it's not going to stop."
And that doesn't even take into account the expense that goes into keeping up with the deluge.
"There's also the anxiety that comes with your bloated cable bill, or the cost of all the services you subscribe to, like Netflix or Hulu," he says. "My god, if Twitter starts making its own shows, I'll throw in the towel."

First, very important, make sure dog never has a bad experience with loud noises. I have gun trained several dogs by planting live quail and then shooting with 20 gauge from several hundred yards off as the dog flushes one. Keep moving closer if the dog does not have a negative reaction. Once you can shoot over the dog, switch to a 12 gauge and start again at several hundred yards. Continue to gradually move closer. Keep in mind, this is not a one day or one weekend thing. Introducing a dog to gunfire can be a very delicate and slow process, but it's worth it in the end. (Just ask anyone who's tried to break a case of bad gun-shyness!)

I started with a blank 22 pistol, shooting from around 50 yards away, gradually moving closer. Once I was near the dog, I switched to shotgun blanks, and started from 50 yards, working closer again. The key is to shoot at two important times, not just randomly:
1- When the bumper or bird is in the air
2- When the dog is retrieving (over his or her head).
The idea is that the dog associates the noise with the bird, and its not big deal.
I would recommend buying Retriever Training by Tom Dokken to get the step by step method. I used this book, and it is really simple once explained by him.
It is a long process though. If you rush it, you will mess the dog up. Take your time with this one.
