*Editor's Note: This opinion is in response to a Lake View by jim Schneider titled "Mo. Highway Commission needs to fix road mistakes" published in the Wednes, July 24 Lake Sun.
For the last four or five years, the city of Osage Beach has been working daily with MoDOT on the building of the $150 million expressway. Over the last year when people began bypassing safe access to the expressway and began stacking at Key Largo, the city had dozens of public and in-house meetings with MoDOT.
When the businesses wanted Bus. 54 designations on the Parkway signs, the board met several times with MoDOT and the signs have been retrofitted throughout the city. The board continues to work with MoDOT to make changes to the existing Key Largo. And we are working with MoDOT to extend the Parkway to the Y Road interchange. We do not need to march on the Highway Commission; MoDOT has been a permanent fixture in Osage Beach over the last five years.
As for funding, the board and staff wanted to look at all the options available. One was using a state program, which was set up to help municipalities. Osage beach can fund this project through in-kind right of way donations and funds from economic development and projects that will not be done because ROW is not available. In fact, we can provide almost one-half of our share in 2013 and the balance in 2014 without deterring any transportation projects. Our share is one-third of the project.
The state will build the outer road with right of way and turn it over to the city for annexation. The numerous property owners are not required to annex into the city. They would pay out-of-city utility rates unless they annexed into the city.
Nowhere in this letter is it mentioned that the city will get a $3.5 million asset for $1.16 million. Nowhere is it mentioned that most cities use outer roads to provide safe ingress/egress to businesses adjacent to 65-mile-per-hour traffic. Nowhere does this letter mention that the outer road removes a dead end on the main road in Osage Beach. Nowhere does it mention that the city has been providing new sidewalk areas almost every year. Nowhere does it mention that Osage Beach has a continuous maintenance program to overlay and slurry seal city streets.
Nowhere in this letter is there any mention of future growth and expansion for Osage Beach to grow. Nowhere in this letter is there any appreciation for the time the board of aldermen has spent in numerous meetings to consider the concerns of the businesses and residents. Nowhere have I seen the author of the letter to the editor in attendance at any of these meetings.

Traditional cheerleading began at the University of Minnesota in 1898 when male cheerleaders encouraged students to show their spirit at athletic events. This model continued exclusively until the early 1990s when all-star competitive gyms formed to highlight the athleticism of the cheerleader. Combining tumbling, stunting, and dancing, non-school teams began competing at the regional and national level, drawing more and more girls to the fast-growing sport. At Oak Ridge High School cheerleaders were maintaining the traditional role, but found they were losing students to the competitive nature of the all-star gym.
Over the past five years, Coach Christina Duncan has developed a school program that combines the traditional role of the cheerleader with a competitive edge. "By combining sport and spirit, everyone wins. For the school, it provides more girls with a reason to stay connected to the school and for the girls it creates an opportunity for them to grow into strong independent young women with recognized skills," Duncan explains.
Each year, a squad of 18 -24 girls are chosen to represent Oak Ridge High School. During the summer, the squad takes a competitive routine to the Universal Cheerleading Camp (UCA). During fall and winter, the squad cheers at football and basketball games. In addition, they represent the high school at community and school events.
Although it makes for a long season, Senior Captain Courtney Cantrell loves the combination. "When I was younger, I cheered at a competitive gym in Knoxville. When I got to middle school, I loved sports and wanted to be at all the games, so I tried out for cheerleader. It quickly became evident that I couldn't do both and I chose to be a school cheerleader. I have been lucky that Oak Ridge offers a program that includes a competitive element similar to all-stars, while primarily allowing me to be an Oak Ridge Wildcat."
It also makes for a skillful performance at ball games. During game breaks, you will see squad members being thrown in the air or flying across the floor doing intricate tumbling moves. Junior Lauren Dubose has some of the strongest tumbling skills on the team. "Being able to master a tumbling pass or an individual skill is more fun when you can perform it in front of your peers," she says.
Next week, the squad will attend UCA camp at the University of Tennessee. The team will have worked over 60 hours to develop a one and one half minute competitive routine that they take into the home pom competition as camp champs for the past five years. However, that title is not taken lightly.
Senior Sarah Boutwell explains, "Every year, we face Riverdale High School. They used to be camp champs and we took the title from them. One year we beat them by a tenth of a point. So, every summer, we try to better a routine that can beat Riverdale."
Page 2 of 2 - The ORHS squad, along with the Jefferson Middle School and Robertsville Middle School cheerleaders, invites the public to attend a pre-camp exhibition performance featuring their home pom routine this Friday at 6:30 p.m. in the Wildcat Arena.

At 2 a.m. Sunday, it's time to "spring forward" by setting clocks ahead one hour for Daylight Saving Time. And while making the important time change, firefighters say it's also time to do something that could very well save a life.
The "Change Your Clock, Change Your Battery" program is intended to save lives by ensuring homes always have working smoke detectors. Firefighters remind residents to install fresh batteries when they change their clocks twice each year.
Shawnee Deputy Fire Marshal Rob Rusk said this weekend is the time to change smoke detector batteries and test the alarm.
"It's also a good idea to practice home escape drills with the whole family," Rusk said.
Firefighters said having a working smoke detector reduces in half the risk of death from a house fire.
While most homes may have smoke detectors, firefighters often find they are not functioning after a fire occurs because of missing or dead batteries.
"It's extremely critical," to check them regularly, Rusk said.
Smoke detectors will usually make a chirping sound indicating they need a fresh battery, so they should always be changed when that occurs. Additionally, Rusk suggests residents also change batteries with the time change each year, which will give a fresh battery once in the spring and once in the fall.
And while some of the new smoke detectors have 10-year batteries, Rusk said those need to be tested at least twice a year.
"Buying an extended life battery sounds good, but you don't want to take a risk without checking it," he said.
With any type of detector, monthly tests of smoke detectors also are suggested.
Firefighters also suggest installing and maintaining a working smoke detector outside of every sleep area of a home and having at least one of every level of a home.
The city of Shawnee has a free smoke detector program for those who cannot afford one, Rusk said, and they'll also provide batteries and even install those. The program is free for those who own their home and live inside the city of Shawnee limits.
For more information, call 405-273-4282.

Prep boys basketball: Tigers fall to Bobcats
January 30, 2013
The Cambridge Bobcats outscored the Marietta Tigers 26-3 in the decisive third quarter and went on to a dominating 55-33 win in an East Central Ohio League contest Tuesday night at Sutton Gymnasium....
The sad thing is, we've got one of the best coaches in Ohio. I've watched a lot of high school basketball and I've never seen coaching like that! He's doing things on the bench that people will be talking about for generations to come.

You have the boys that put in the work, show up for practice and the shoot arounds sitting the bench. It's past time to make some changes.
2 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
You know, I have watched high school basketball for a long time. Kids played, grandkids; and Marietta athletes, no matter what the sport is or who the coach is, don't seem to want it enough. At least not as bad as our competitors.
I know that we have several who put forth the effort and work 12 months a year, and I applaud those. Nice job; and I am not talking about you...so Mom relax.
Then we have the wanna-bees who have a little more talent and skill; and have had since youth league; who just have an attitude that they are great, and they don't need to work harder. They have a starting spot on the team and party on; and we lose.
Case closed...look at the records.
Blame the coach, blame the school, blame the facilities,......??????
We just do not want it bad enough.
2 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
You got it right emanon. Attitude and inability to utilize players are two problems the coach exhibits.
1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Congrats...you have just qualified to be a Marietta parent! They are a unique group.
0 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Seems like a good place to start would be with the coaching staff. I have never seen a head coach as terrible as the one we have. If the boys "don't want it bad enough" possibly it's a reflection of the attitude you show! Lead by example.

Local blogger on the Devils Lake Journal website talks about the shootings in Conn.
On the website, scroll down from the top about half-way down the page and on the right hand side click on "Local" where it says Blogs - the two choices are "Network" or "Local." Then on "Read more" and hear what Sharon Chiang has to say in her blog titled "In My Humble Opinion" - IMHO.

Princeton, NJ, November 27, 2012–Princeton Theological Seminary will present a holiday
handbell concert for the Seminary and Princeton communities on Saturday,
December 8 at 3:00 p.m. in Miller Chapel on the Seminary campus. The concert, "Ringing in the Season," under the direction of Rachel Barker, includes the
ringing of holiday songs by Princeton Seminary and Princeton University students,
spouses, staff, alumni/ae, and friends.
Robert and William Cor of Aldbourne, Wiltshire, England, developed the first
tuned handbells between 1696 and 1724. Originally used by change ringers (who
rang a set of tuned bells in a series of mathematical patterns called
"changes") to rehearse outside their towers, the handbell sets had the same
number of bells as did the towers (usually six to twelve handbells tuned to a
diatonic scale).
Shurcliff brought the first handbells from England to the United States in
1902. She was presented a set of ten handbells in London by Arthur Hughes, the
general manager of the Whitechapel Bell Foundry, after completing two separate
two-and-one-half-hour change ringing peals in one day.
The concert is
free and open to the public. For more information, please contact the Chapel
Office at 609.497.7890. For directions to the Seminary, visit www.ptsem.edu.
Seminary was established in 1812 by the General Assembly of the Presbyterian
Church as a post-graduate professional school of theology. Currently
celebrating its Bicentennial, Princeton is the largest Presbyterian seminary in
the country, with 500 students in six graduate degree programs.

Topic: prayer
A friend sent this to me when my Mom was diagnosed with CC. I think it is very comforting and hope it will bring some comfort to those of us dealing with this monster of a disease.
"Keep watch, dear Lord, with those who work, or watch, or weep this night, and give your angels charge over those who sleep. Tend the sick, give rest to the weary, bless the dying, soothe the suffering, pity the afflicted, shield the joyous; and all for your love
"A prognosis is simply an audit of how truly precious each day is. Live each day to the maximum, celebrate what was, and what is - Don't spend your life looking forward to what will or might be." .... words of wisdom from my beloved son on hearing of his grandmother's CC prognosis.

Former San Jose State offensive line star David Quessenberry, now with the Houston Texans, has been diagnosed with lymphoma, a type of blood cancer.
"My attitude is I'm going to do whatever it takes to beat this thing and get back to where I was before I got diagnosed," Quessenberry said Tuesday in an exclusive phone interview with this newspaper.
"It was really hard," Quessenberry said of learning the news last week. "It's still not easy, but when you get a game plan together and you surround yourself with the best in the business, it makes it a little bit easier."
Quessenberry, 23, believed he was suffering from a chest cold when he experienced shortness of breath at a Texans practice June 3. He sought medical treatment and tests revealed Non-Hodgkins T Lymphoblastic Lymphoma. He began aggressive chemotherapy treatment last Friday at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. He expects the initial treatment to last six to eight months.
Quessenberry's father, David Quessenberry Sr., said in a text message that it's a "very aggressive cancer, but generally very responsive to treatment." He added that the prognosis is positive and the "Texans' team doctor says there is no reason he should not be able to overcome this and return to play in the NFL."
The Texans revealed the news Tuesday morning when they released a statement saying that Quessenberry was placed on the non-football illness list with the lymphoma diagnosis.
"If there's anybody who's going to fight and get through it, he's definitely the guy," said David Fales, the former SJSU quarterback now with the Chicago Bears. Rep 1 Sports, the agency that represents Quessenberry, also released a statement:
"The goal of David's treatment is to cure the disease, so he can return to the life that he has worked so hard to earn," the statement read. "David is extremely positive and determined to win this fight against cancer."
Those that know Quessenberry well sang a familiar refrain Tuesday, speaking of a person with the strength to overcome the disease.
At San Jose State, Quessenberry was a three-year starter at left tackle, a captain and a first-team All-Western Athletic Conference pick his senior year in 2012 before being drafted in the sixth round of the 2013 draft. But he began his career with the Spartans as a 235-pound walk-on tight end.
"I'm confident that this is yet another obstacle that David will overcome," Colorado coach Mike MacIntyre, who coached Quessenberry's final three years in college, said in a statement through an SJSU spokesman. "David has been an inspiration for me and I hope that I'm joined in daily prayer by all those whom David has also touched."
Quessenberry's father, who spent 30 years in the Navy and retired as a captain in 2010, echoed similar thoughts.
"The only thing guaranteed is the fight, and there are many tough challenges ahead," Quessenberry Sr. wrote. "He is a tough young man who is familiar with overcoming adversity. His best days are yet to be lived."
The younger Quessenberry said the support he's received has been a difference-maker.
"It's been a whirlwind, but the one thing that's come out of this is the support," Quessenberry said. "I know I'm not going at it alone."
He's also doing his best to lift the spirits of those supporters.
"I think it's just such a rare circumstance that it catches some people off guard," Quessenberry said. "When people call me up, I let them know that I'm going to beat this thing. I think that helps me and that helps them. I just let them know that, yeah this is my battle, but we're in this together."
Even with Quessenberry's positive attitude, his former San Jose State teammates were stunned to hear the news.
"Right when I found out, I was in shock just because of it being him," said wide receiver Chandler Jones, now with the Cleveland Browns. "DQ is honestly the strongest person that I know personally. Watching his work ethic, you could just see that he's one of the most hard-working, inspirational guys out there."
Quessenberry's first year in the NFL wasn't an easy one. He was in the middle of a strong training camp when he broke his foot and had to spend his rookie season on injured reserve. He remained upbeat though. During a bye week trip to SJSU last season, he spoke highly of his experience in Houston and vowed to treat the year off similar to a redshirt season in college.
SJSU football coach Ron Caragher never coached Quessenberry but has spent enough time around him during his visits back to his alma mater to get to know him.
"I am confident David will use this opportunity to not only heal but to make an impact in the lives of many," Caragher said in a statement. "He is taking the 'never quit' attitude nurtured in the game of football and applying it to the biggest challenge of his life. I am proud of him. Every Spartan stands behind him in this battle."
Quessenberry was a regular presence at the football facilities throughout the spring and is a player teammates looked up to.
"He's definitely gone through a lot and he's worked hard," Jones said. "Nothing's ever been giving to him. He's fought, like earning a scholarship in San Jose. He came as a tight end, undersized and he just kept staying after it."
Quessenberry's engaging personality easily made him one of the most likeable players on the team, yet it didn't counteract the toughness needed to play on the offensive line, particularly while serving as Fales' blindside protection during the 11-2 Military Bowl championship season of 2012.
"You always talk about a football team and if there's that guy you're going into a bar fight with, he's the man," Fales said. "He's always there for you. He's an awesome guy."

Man arrested on fourth DWI
Published: Thursday, March 7, 2013 at 5:14 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, March 8, 2013 at 11:20 a.m.
A 32-year-old Gray man was arrested Tuesday on his fourth DWI offense.
Shawn Rodrigue, 32, of 205A Rachelle Villa St., is accused of impaired driving and other offenses after deputies said they discovered he had driven his vehicle off a highway.
Around 11:45 p.m. Tuesday, deputies responded to La. 182 in Raceland in reference to a car off the highway and into a set of bushes, Lafourche Sheriff Craig Webre said.
Deputies found the driver inside the car with the engine running, and there were no signs of serious damage to the vehicle, Webre said. A breath test showed Rodrigue had a blood-alcohol content of 0.173, Webre said. Rodrigue was booked on DWI, improper lane use and failing to have a court-ordered interlock system in his vehicle as a condition of probation. He is in the Lafourche jail on a $50,150 bond.

TRAINING: A great day in the gym for me is simple - a little cardio in the morning, yoga in the afternoon and MMA training at night.
When and why did you start training for fighting? My whole life I have been a competitor, and I have always been interested in martial arts. After high school football was over I felt that I had much more potential, and I wanted to get involved in a sport that was fresh and new. I began to pray about it, shortly after I was introduced to MMA, and I have been pursuing it ever since.

Hi everyone, I am really new to this stuff...(sorry for being a noob) anyways tried out Tversity and got . Then i tried out PS3 Media Server and i reckon its great!!! .
Ok, so this is my setup atm: using PMS Version 1.10.51
1) I'm using a laptop: Intel C2Duo P8600 2.26 Ghz, 3GB RAM (Not sure if its powerfull enough)
2) My PS3 is connected via ethernet onto my laptop, my router is a Dynalink RTA1320, i think its on a 100Mbit connection (Although, my laptop is in my bedroom, my Ps3 is in the living room...so the distance is about 15 metres or ethernet wiring)
3) N/A: i dont really have issues on playback atm
4) Dont know too much about which engines are being used whilst transcoding
The reason for my post is this: All my videos play but there are certain cases where video files lag immensely, video can also get really grainy as well. I've been onto the PS3 website and checked out which video files the PS3 can play without PMS...but i dont understand it to my liking. For example, say i have 2 video files both say "xvid.avi" but when i try to stream it through my PS3 one of the files plays perfectly fine whereas the other file will be grainy and play without any sound. Sorry if i'm being so vague.
Btw i have the Klite codecs package installed on my laptop...i hope thats enough...
If you want more info...plz specify and i'll try to clarify it.

The da Vinci System allows your surgeon to perform transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for head and neck surgery. Compared with traditional open surgery, TORS leaves no scars and prevents breathing and swallowing difficulty that normally occur after surgery.
Additional potential benefits for many head and neck cancer patients include:
The da Vinci® Surgical System offers a minimally invasive alternative to both open surgery and laparoscopy. Because it requires only a few tiny incisions and offers greater vision, precision and control for the surgeon, patients often can recover sooner, move on to additional treatments if needed and get back to daily life more quickly.
Potential benefits of the da Vinci system for patients include:
In traditional minimally invasive surgery, the surgeon operates while standing, using hand-held instruments that cannot bend or rotate. The surgeon must look up and away to a nearby standard 2D video monitor to see an image of the target anatomy.
With the da Vinci System's ergonomic design, the surgeon is able to operate from a comfortable, seated position at a console, with eyes and hands in line with the instruments, and a magnified, high-definition 3D view of the target anatomy.
"The addition of robotic surgery and the da Vinci Surgical System offers patients leading-edge, individualized options that are both minimally invasive and supportive of quality of life," says Dr. Charles Komen Brown, Surgical Oncologist at Midwestern Regional Medical Center. "With this innovative technology, surgeons gain more vision, precision and control while making smaller, less invasive incisions."
Seated comfortably at an ergonomically-designed console, the surgeon first makes a few tiny incisions to introduce miniaturized instruments and a high-definition camera inside the patient. The camera allows the surgeon to view a highly magnified, high-resolution 3D image of the surgical site.
With eyes and hands in line with the instruments, the surgeon uses controls below the viewer to move the instrument arms and camera. The system then translates, in real time, the surgeon's hand, wrist and finger movements into precise movements of the instruments inside the patient.
Throughout the procedure, the surgeon controls every surgical maneuver. The System cannot be programmed or act in any way without the surgeon's input.
The da Vinci System is most commonly used for urologic and gynecologic surgical procedures. Patients with previous radiation treatment, surgery or physical mobility issues may not be candidates for da Vinci.
Firefly™ Fluorescence Imaging: This imaging system allows your surgeon to identify vessels and tissue that otherwise couldn't be seen by the human eye. Firefly combines a special video camera and a dye that binds to proteins to make those vessels and tissue visible during minimally invasive surgical procedures using da Vinci. The system also gives your surgeon the ability to detect sentinel lymph nodes, where the cancer is most likely to spread from a primary tumor first.
Transoral Robotic Surgery (TORS): This type of minimally invasive surgery is specifically designed for patients with head and neck cancer. During TORS procedures, your surgeon controls robotic instruments that have been inserted through your mouth. No incisions are needed. In contrast, traditional open surgery requires long incisions through the throat and jaw, which often leave patients with visible scars, difficulty breathing or swallowing, and a lengthy recovery.
EndoWrist® Stapler: Modeled after the human hand, this robotic stapler is used to help remove the malignant portion of the colon during surgery. Using the EndoWrist Stapler, your surgeon can reach areas of the body that are normally extremely hard to access with conventional staplers used in minimally invasive procedures. EndoWrist Instruments are designed to provide your surgeon with natural dexterity and a full range of motion for precision during minimally invasive surgery.

Police Investigate Whether Human Remains Belong to Missing Autistic Teen
UPDATED | New York City investigators were working to positively identify human remains that were found Thursday night along an East River cove in Queens, several miles from where an autistic boy walked out of school and disappeared last October.
New York Police Department diving and canine units were combing the rocky area and choppy waters for additional evidence Friday, and so far had recovered clothing that included sneakers, jeans and other clothing that matched what 14-year-old Avonte Oquendo was wearing when he disappeared on October 4, a law-enforcement official said.
The remains were sent to the Queens County morgue for identification by the city's Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, and Avonte's family has been contacted, officials said. Identifying the remains could take several days.
It was unclear how long the remains had been in the water, but a family attorney said investigators told him the body appeared to have been submerged long enough that it was difficult to identify the skin color.
The attorney, David Perecman, said the boy's mother, Vanessa Fontaine was headed to the medical examiner's office to provide a DNA sample, to compare against remains. Investigators already have a DNA sample on file from the boy's father.
The mother has acknowledged the similarities between her son and the clothes recovered from the remains, but is holding out hope until a conclusive match is made, Mr. Perecman said.
"Her initial reaction was 'until I hear more, and see more'…there's been a lot of bad leads," he said. "She's being a mom. She's not going to be convinced this is her son until there's enough to convince her."
Police received a call shortly after 7 p.m. Thursday from a woman reporting that human remains were found near Powell Cove Boulevard and Endeavor Place in the College Point neighborhood.
A 14-year-old girl had been walking the shoreline taking photos when she noticed a human arm lying on the rocks, the law-enforcement official said. The girl returned home and told her parents, who called 911.
NYPD Investigators and marine units arrived on the scene and identified the arm as human, cordoned off the area as a crime scene and alerted detectives who began searching for additional clues, the official said.
Police discovered two legs with blue jeans, white socks and sneakers about 15 feet from the arm, the official said, adding that investigators also recovered several other human remains, including what are believed to be rib bones and a pelvic bone.
The size 5½ pair black Nike Air Jordan sneakers, the Old Navy sized 16 blue jeans and the a pair of white tube socks are similar to those worn by Avonte on the day he disappeared, the official said.
Avonte, who is non-verbal and has trouble performing basic tasks, disappeared after breaking off from a group of students and leaving the Riverview School on 51st Avenue in the Long Island City through a side door on Oct. 4.
Ms. Fontaine received a call from detectives around 2 a.m. Friday morning.
Avonte's disappearance sparked a massive, round-the-clock hunt, which involved police setting up a command center in the school. Subway workers walked along the tracks in tunnels since Avonte has a fascination with trains. Fliers were posted around the city, and a van with a speaker playing his mother's voice combed the streets while more than 200 volunteers looked for the boy.
He was last seen on a video recording inside the school running past a safety officer, who instructed him to back to his classroom, police have said. The boy ran away, and instead exited the building through an open, unguarded door and into a nearby park, which sits along the East River.
Mr. Perecman said Avonte had a fear of water and would not have likely gone in to the water on his own. "He's afraid of it, he doesn't like it," he said.
Police have cleared the safety officer of any wrongdoing. His mother, Vanessa Fontaine, took steps to sue the city.

Diet, lifestyle play role in preventing cancer
What is cancer?
Cancer can be many forms and occur at various places in the body, but all cancers share certain properties.
Healthy cells in the human body grow, divide and die in a predictable and orderly manner. However, cancer cells reproduce in an uncontrolled way and may not age or die normally.(more...)
Don't overlook importance of breast-feedingMillions of us owe our early development in part to Gail Borden's invention of evaporating milk and the resulting famous concoction that was our sole food for the first months of life:
Research to Help Shape Dietary Guidelines
The 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans emphasize a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat dairy products. While the message on fruits and vegetables is probably not new, you may be curious about the importance of whole grains and low-fat dairy. (more...)
Folic Acid Helps Fight Disease
About a year ago I wrote on how the intake of folate relates inversely to the production in your body of homocysteine, a compound associated with increased risk of heart disease and cancer. Although folate is important in fighting such diseases, it is most commonly associated with preventing neural tube defects in newborns. In fact, in 1998 it became law to fortify cereal-grain products with folic acid (the synthetic version of folate) in hopes of decreasing the risk that women will have children with neural tube defects. Also at that time, the Institute of Medicine recommended that women capable of becoming pregnant consume enough folate through supplements, fortified foods, or both in addition to consuming food folate to achieve the recommended daily allowance of 400 micrograms. (more...)
Fructose Consumption and Health
Obesity and Type 2 diabetes occur in the United States at alarming rates. Many nutritionists and health care professionals are convinced that these conditions are caused in large part by recent changes in our diet and to reduced physical activity.(more...)
Local Coalition Provides a Wealth of Health Advice
You've most likely heard about the recent public health recommendations to increase levels of physical activity and to improve dietary choices to meet the recommended dietary allowances. Perhaps you've been wondering where to go to get information to improve your exercise and eating habits.(more...)
Copper - A Building Block for a Healthy Baby
Proper nutrition during pregnancy cannot be overstated because it provides building blocks for the developing fetus, fulfills maternal energy requirements, and increases energy reserves needed for lactation. Recommendations for good prenatal nutrition traditionally have addressed weight gain and nutrient intake during pregnancy. Although calorie requirements increase during pregnancy, a woman's body adapts to the increase in requirements and becomes more efficient. This means that only a small increase of about 300 calories a day is needed to meet energy requirements.(more...)
The Point of the New Pyramid
While an abundance of nutrition information is available online and from the popular press, it's important to base diet and exercise choices on science-based information provided by authoritative sources. A one-size-fits-all approach does not answer the question many consumers have been asking, which is: "How will this work for me?"(more...)
Spillin' the Beans on Good Nutrition
Dry beans are good for your health! The 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the U.S. Department of Agriculture recommends eating at least three cups of cooked dry beans per week. One cup of beans per day will give you a high percentage of the RDA (Recommended Daily Allowance) for protein, copper, zinc, iron, potassium, and the vitamin folate. One cup of beans also contains high fiber, good carbohydrates, very low fat, and only about 250 calories.(more...)
Fish for Health
Many people are surprised when told that it is not a vitamin or mineral but two fatty substances that may have the most far-reaching health benefits when consumed in higher than usual amounts in U.S. diet. The substances are omega-3 fatty acids known as docosahexanoic acid or DHA, and eicosapentaenoic acid or EPA. These polyunsaturated fatty acids with a long carbon chain backbone are high in certain fish oils and thus often are found in supplements as fish oil. Claims have been made of the benefits of DHA and EPA based on a large amount of carefully done scientific studies, unlike claims for many herbal supplements.(more...)
Cold Weather and Nutrition
Those of us who live in the Upper Midwest know that soldiers, athletes and arctic explorers are not the only ones who must survive and function in extremely cold temperatures. Extreme temperatures, hot and cold, affect not only level of comfort, but also health and ability to perform physical and mental work, and mood. Many studies have documented declines in physical performance and in cognitive skills, such as attention, memory and problem solving, when volunteers are exposed to cold temperatures, even for relatively brief periods of time.(more...)
Two Simple Messages for Heart Health
Diseases of the heart and circulation are the leading cause of death in this country, with an annual economic impact approaching $200 billion. The types of disease include arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), high blood pressure, high cholesterol, clotting tendency, abnormal heart rhythm, and coronary heart disease. Ultimately, all of these conditions will have an impact on the ability of our hearts to deliver blood to our bodies. What can we do to prevent or reduce the impact of these diseases?(more...)

USA, 2013, 71 Minute Running Time
Genre/Subjects: American Indie, Family Issues, Romance, Social IssuesLanguage: English
After splitting with her abusive boyfriend, lost soul Natalia crashes friend Hannah's Orthodox family gathering before drunkenly disappearing onto the streets of New York City. She is befriended by gentle soul Maury, who runs a men's homeless shelter out of his apartment and invites Natalia to stay. At group dinners, Natalia's female presence seems to rile the male misfits staying there, though she makes efforts to assimilate. Conservative Hannah insists that Natalia leave the camaraderie she claims to have found at the shelter to stay at her apartment.
Meanwhile, Hannah's socially awkward brother Nathan, whose parents are pushing him to find the right girl and settle down, mysteriously becomes enamored of Natalia, whose misguided antics seem to be part of her charm. When Nathan's intentions for Natalia become clear, havoc ensues. The devil-may-care attitude attracting people to Natalia turns out to be her undoing—people want to help her but end up being repelled. Natalia herself remains clueless until real damage is done and the situation is beyond repair.
Director Nathan Silver began Soft in the Head—an ode to lost souls in the big city—as a film adaptation of Dostoyevsky's The Idiot, and we see threads of the naive Myshkin in Nathan with his compassionate, pitying love of Nastassya, while Nastasya's self-punishing drive to ruin herself is mirrored in Natalia. After struggling with the finer points of the plot, Silver focused instead on character profiles—the resulting film an intimate portrait of a life being derailed.

A new theme park opened in the Crescent City Wednesday promising to satisfy the droves of Super Bowl visitors and locals alike.
The "NFL Experience" has taken over Hall B at the Morial Convention center and will remain open through Super Bowl Sunday. It features more than 75 interactive elements, according to organizers.
The NFL Experience has entertained fans for 21 years. This is the theme park's third trip to New Orleans.
The grand opening is set for 3 p.m. Wednesday.
