Nicholas David Bowman, PhD
Dr. Bowman's academic interests are concerned with understanding how communication technology has changed the way we share and respond to mass information. As our social world becomes increasingly mediated and virtual, he studies how media users respond cognitively and emotionally to mediation as well as if and how they differentiate between the real and virtual worlds. An avid entertainment technology fan, Bowman is particularly interested in understanding the popularity of video games not only as a leisure activity, but as a place for community discourse, a training ground for human interaction, and a space for observational and experiential learning. Additionally, as a former journalist he studies how communication technology has influenced the speed, accuracy, and utility of news information for today's multimedia audiences. Dr. Bowman's research has been published in Journal of Communication, Journal of Broadcasting and Electronic Media, and CyberPsychology, Behavior and Social Networking. At WVU, Dr. Bowman also oversees the Media and Interaction Lab and maintains an active research blog "On Media Theory…." and he can be found on Twitter at @bowmanspartan. He also prefers to go by "Nick" – unless he's in trouble (which he doesn't prefer at all).
Elizabeth Cohen, PhD
Dr. Cohen studies the "the bright side" of media uses and effects, or the prosocial consequences of involvement with different types of media. Her research is animated by questions about how cognitive and emotional responses to media content motivate individuals to improve themselves, help other people or the environment, or become civically engaged. She is particularly interested in how people respond to prosocial messages that are embedded in entertainment media content. I also examine content and relational factors that encourage people to disseminate prosocial messages using social media. Some topics I study include narrative persuasion, attachments to media figures, and online content sharing.
Alan Goodboy, PhD
Dr. Goodboy's research focuses primarily on instructor-student communication and influence. Favoring experimental and survey designs, his most current research examines instructional dissent in the college classroom. This research explores why and how students express their disagreements and complaints about class-related issues. Other instructional research has focused on student communication satisfaction, instructor misbehaviors, and transformational leadership in the classroom. His secondary area of research examines relational maintenance in a variety of contexts.
Matthew Martin, PhD
Dr. Matthew M. Martin joined the Communication Studies faculty at WVU in 1994. He has been chair of the department since 2001. Dr. Martin's research focuses primarily on the study of communication traits using quantitative methodologies. His research interests center on the study of traits involving communication competence (e.g., cognitive flexibility) and aggressive communication (e.g., verbal aggression). A secondary area of research involves studying people's motives for communicating with others. His recent research has focused on why students communicate with their instructors, both in and out of the classroom. Other instructional studies have focused on instructor self-disclosure, instructor clarity, and student interest.
David Westerman, PhD
With interests in communication and technology, Dr. Westerman's research focuses on how technology is used to accomplish communication goals, be they "mass" or "interpersonal." This research has focused on how people form impressions, such as uncertainty and source credibility, through the use of information provided through electronic channels. Other research examines the concept of presence, and how it can be fostered, and with what effects. In his classes, Dr. Westerman focuses on how media can be used, examining both the challenges and affordances that technology offers. Dr. Westerman has had his work published in outlets such as Human Communication Research, Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication, and Computers in Human Behavior.

Location: Temperate Tree Fruit and Vegetable Research
2013 Annual Report
The bacterium Liberibacter that causes zebra chip is rapidly transmitted to potato by the potato psyllid and pesticides may have limited disease control as they may not kill the insect fast enough to prevent its transmission to potato. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop management tools that have deterrence and repellency effects to potato psyllid feeding and egg oviposition. Laboratory and field experiments assessed feeding deterrence effects of Cyazypyr insecticide on potato psyllid to prevent or minimize transmission of zebra chip. It was found that foliar applications of Cyazypyr are effective in deterring feeding and killing the potato psyllid within 24 hours, thereby suppressing the psyllid population rapidly. However, the product did not prevent transmission of Liberibacter to potato plants by the potato psyllid as its does not stop feeding during the first six hours, crucial period during which the potato psyllid can effectively transmit Liberibacter to potato plants. Information from this research is very useful and will be incorporated in integrated pest management programs for potato psyllid control to help potato growers rapidly suppress populations of this psyllid and minimize losses due zebra chip.

In continuation of a series of years of World at War,THIS IS A CONTINUATION BASED UPON URGENT PENDING MATTERS,
The following was a Special Edition of the 2012 Thread:
Thread: WORLD at WAR, Official 2012 Thread (TO BE CONTINUED) Israel, Iran, Syria, Hezbollah, PA, Egypt, Libya, Pakistan, North Korea, Russia, China, U.S.
The following was the 2012 thread:
Thread: World at War, Official 2012 Thread for Israel, Iran, Syria, Hezbollah, PA, Turkey, Egypt, Pakistan, India, North Korea, Russia, China, U.S.
The following was the 2011 thread:
Thread: The World at War, Official 2011 war thread for North Korea, Iran, Israel, China, U.S.
Follow the past years to see where we are at. I try not to give much BS and only ask that if you do not care for the topic or format, do not visit this thread. Trolls, you will be deleted or blocked, you can start your own thread if you wish, just leave us alone!
As stated at the start of 2012, and now more so 2013 will be the continuation of much chaos economically as well as militarily. We have gone through much doom and gloom already. But now, it is of urgency that we wait to see whether Iran goes nuclear, whether Israel takes it upon herself to attack Iran, whether the US leaves Israel to fend for herself, wether the results of the US election mandates a new era with US relations towards Israel, the Mideast, China, and Russia. Further, we still see the Syrian civil war as a not reaching a climax.
Israel must face the challenge of a nuclear Iran with or without the U.S. to protect her. Further, Syria feels threatened as did Libya where Assad may lash out at Israel with chemical weapons. The Hezbollah may too jump on in. Lebanon and Jordan may face their own arab spring. Egypt may tear up the Israeli peace treaty any day. Turkey looks as Israel with jealousy for Israel's gas and oil reserves in the Med.
China and Russia wish to impose retrictions on America's once global dominance where there will be more challenges to U.S. interests leading to possible military blows.
North Korea's tender young leader has no fear in challenging U.S. might and may cause further military adventurism. He too develops the ultimate EMP weapon to destroy the US.
Pakistan has nukes that could be stolen and/or Pakistan and the U.S. may enter into more vis a vis hotile interactions.
Iran is threatening to challenge the west and is due for a nuclear detonation very soon. What the U.S./and or Israel do to stop Iran is worthy of watching every day.
Iraq is now under Iran's thumb and likely will further become a feifdom of Iran.
Afghanistan is soon to force the withdrawal of U.S. forces.
India and Pakistan may soon come to blows.
Will the global economic crisis resolve itself, will the crisis collapse the world economy, or whom may come forward with some new currency?
Further, spiritually, 2013 looks to be a year of more turmoil. G-d seems to lost his position in many of the World's people. He will lash out. What will come of signs in the sky? Is that a great comet? Earthquakes? Hurricaines?
Look further at bug-outs or going grey, everyone should be prepping by now in case things really do go bad. I am just saying. Fiscal Cliff? Banning guns? Who is Obama alligned with?
So, if you wish to discuss the above mentioned or wish to hear it from others, feel free to drop in and leave some good 5 stars if you find this inforomation either entertaining or productive.
Peace Out!

The Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law class of 2016 celebrated a joyous commencement on May 31, 2016 at David Geffen Hall at Lincoln Center.
The Public Service Stipend raises money for students so that they can pursue otherwise uncompensated internships in the public sector. It is supported in part by the Annual Public Service Auction. In this video, some of the recipients of the stipend talk about their experiences.
The Public Service Auction will take place on April 13 at 6 p.m.! Buy tickets, bid online, and learn more about the auction here.
Students can apply for furnished studio units with individual bathrooms and shared kitchens or two- and three-bedroom units equipped with kitchens and bathrooms.
The National Jurist took into account Cardozo's percentage of students in clinics, externships and simulation courses, inter-school competitions, as well as other practical training opportunities.
When considering international expansion, a company should take moves to protect its brand, name and trade secrets before embarking overseas, according to participants in a seminar at the Benjamin Cardozo School of Law at Yeshiva University in New York.
"The Center for Real Estate Law & Policy will help bridge the gap between classroom and practice, and will work to prepare graduates to tackle the full range of legal and business issues that confront New York's vibrant real estate industry," said Professor Stewart Sterk, director of the center.
Moderator Judith Dobrzynski, a veteran arts journalist, started the discussion by observing that since ISIS's rise, antiquity collecting has become deplored as a source of funding for the extremist group.

"It was the beginning of high tide. The water started coming up through the slats with the waves," said Raymond Mitchell, who had an ocean view from his apartment. "Within minutes, it was pushing the boardwalk off. It was like a river coming down the street."
The boardwalk "ripped apart like dominoes," said Laura Nee, who watched from her apartment. "The water came up to the windows [in the building's lobby]."
On Tuesday, residents were reliving the devastating blow from superstorm Sandy, and beginning to evaluate its toll.
The power already was gone Monday when the water began to rise dangerously. In the distance, transformer explosions started to light up the sky. And then the sky turned orange as buildings caught fire.
The first blaze occurred on Rockaway Beach Boulevard, where a row of houses was destroyed. Soon, a few blocks away, there was another fire, and then another.
By Tuesday morning, there were at least three locations where multiple buildings had burned to the ground. Officials said that fires that "would be smoldering for a while."
Firefighters were unable to get to all the locations.
Meanwhile, a few miles away, officials responded to a six-alarm fire in Breezy Point that destroyed 80 to 100 homes.
"I saw the smoke," Nee said.
In Rockaway, across from Nancy Gentile's house on Beach 129th Street, her neighbors' houses were ablaze.
"The first house went on fire. It was something from the inside," she said. She watched as the flames from one house hopped to the next one.
"Then there were a bunch of explosions," she said.
Meanwhile, Gentile was facing a problem of her own: The ocean was entering her basement after pushing in an air conditioner in her basement.
Eight blocks away, on Beach 137th Street, Edward Re could only watch as the ocean took away two of his neighbors' houses. One of them, right on the beach, was demolished. The other was "50 percent" gone, as "all the debris floated down the block."
Flooding has occurred only a few times in the past, but it long has been the worst fear of Rockaway residents.
With the Sandy strike, the sewers backed up, spewing water into the street. Next, the ocean met the bay. By the time the waters receded on Tuesday morning, the streets adjacent to the beach were covered in thick sand.

This past weekend's press brought good and bad news—-good news that the pension/budget disaster that looms over local and state governments from coast to coast is getting the attention from the media that it deserves; bad news that many of our elected leaders are still willing to act as if there is no problem and avoid confronting the unpleasant realities that are before us.
Sunday's The New York Times Magazine featured a piece by Roger Lowenstein entitled "The Next Crisis: Public Pension Funds," a much needed report on how "public pension funds are now massively short of the money to pay future claims—-depending on how their liabilities are valued, the deficit ranges from $1 trillion to $3 trillion."
The article details California has a prime example of states skimping on what they owe their pension funds while operating under actuarial projections that typically assume 8% annual returns. Assumptions that allowed, as Lowenstein pointed out, "payoffs to powerful, unionized constituents at minimal cost."
The game that has been played can't continue for long—-8% returns aren't in the cards and pension funds are demanding contributions (Calpers, California's biggest state pension fund, is forcing hard-pressed localities to cough up an extra $700 million in contributions).
The Times' piece concludes that,
States really have no choice but to further cut spending and raise taxes. They also need to cut pension benefits. About half have made modest trims, but only for future workers. Reforming pensions is painfully slow, because pensions of existing workers are legally protected. There is, of course, no argument for canceling a pension already earned. But public employees benefit from a unique notion that, once they have worked a single day, their pension arrangement going forward can never be altered. No other Americans enjoy such protections. Private companies often negotiate (or force upon their workers) pension adjustments. But in the world of public employment, even discussion of cuts is taboo.
Government's greater ability to borrow enables it to defer hard choices but, as Greece discovered, not even governments can borrow forever. The days when state officials may shield their workers while subjecting all other constituents to hardship are fast at an end.
Apparently, The New York Times Magazine doesn't get wide enough circulation in Sacramento to impact its citizenry.
The Los Angeles Times reported over the weekend that the Democratic leaders of the state legislature are divided over just this issue. The State Senate's leader, Darrell Steinberg, is willing to work across party lines to achieve "a lasting solution to the state's accounting mess." But his counterpart in the Assembly, Speaker John A. Perez, "is approaching the budget as a rigid partisan….mostly through massive borrowing of dubious legality" and the two are vying for influence in negotiating the 2010-2011 budget.
The article lays a good deal of the blame for the speaker's intransigence at the foot of "organized labor leaders, who hold considerable sway over the Legislature." Indeed, both they and Perez are, according to the article, "postponing the day of reckoning—-perhaps until a Democrat is in the governor's office."
Combining the two Times' pieces doesn't give one a warm and fuzzy feeling as a Californian. In fact, just the opposite is the case.
Our public employee unions will work over Perez and his colleagues to insure that accommodating California's budget to the realities of our times doesn't occur. And they'll beat up on their friends if necessary.
Steinberg angered the unions when he told them this month that "he would not rule out a budget agreement that rolled back some retirement benefits their members receive." The California Teachers Association wasn't pleased. The Times reported that "they posted billboards in Steinberg's district implying that he sold out teachers—- and his constituents—-in previous budget deals."
The distressing budgetary facts that California and the rest of the country must come to grips with are irrelevant to the public employee unions who have a narrow and self absorbed focus and will mercilessly squeeze our electeds (including their friends) to get what they want.
Would that there were a few more leaders willing to make tough choices to spare us from imminent disaster, a Greece-like financial implosion. Steinberg ruefully told the Times that "in this position, you have to govern." We need a few more leaders willing to govern as well.

When And How To Repair Your Wetsuit

Pro Repair Review
We shipped a badly damaged suit to Madison Wetsuit Repair in Wisconsin and it returned looking almost brand-new. The torn seam was brought back to near-perfect condition, and gouges in the neoprene were barely noticeable. The company's typical turnaround time is one week, and price is determined per job. Rebuilding two seams and fixing multiple gashes in the neoprene cost us $50.

Goodell Says Lockout's No Sure Thing
Credentialed as a media member here at Super Bowl week, Bengals receiver Chad Johnson waited until midway through Roger Goodell's press conference before he stood up. Telling the NFL commissioner he wasn't interested in "any politically correct answer," he asked him to realistically assess how far the NFL and the players union is from getting a deal done.
Smiling and addressing Johnson by name, Goodell replied, "The commitment on behalf of the ownership is to get an agreement and we will get an agreement."
But then, with a warning tone in is voice, Goodell said, "That's only going to happen when there's intensive negotiations between your union and the owners and that has to get done now."
Which means he didn't really answer the question head on. Which is why Johnson later tweeted, "When you can answer a question without really answering what was asked takes superb skill and poise." And which is what most of the commissioner's Friday, week-ending press conference was – a lot of polish and not a lot of hard answers.
The lockout was of course the top topic of conversation in Dallas.
Goodell insisted that the owners have made no hard decisions yet on whether they will indeed lock out players should there be no new collective bargaining agreement to replace the one that expires March 3.
"The ownership is completely focused on getting an agreement that is fair and that works," he said.
He dismissed labor's repeated requests for transparency in its remarks yesterday, saying, "We have to get beyond this negotiating ploy of opening the books." Goodell insisted that players "have sufficient information" to recognize "why the economics are not working."
Calling March 4 "a very critical date," he said, "We need to have intensive, 'round-the-clock negotiations to address the issues and find solutions."
Other highlights:
* Steelers linebacker James Harrison couldn't hide the sarcasm earlier this week on Media Day, when he publicly asked the commissioner to lay a pillow on the field for where he'll tackle Packers. Harrison, of course, was fined $100,000 for helmet-to-helmet hits this season.
Asked about having to give either Harrison or quarterback Ben Roethlisberger – whom he suspended four games for violating the league's personal conduct policy – the Super Bowl MVP trophy, Goodell didn't flinch.
"Whoever gets up to that stage, I will be more than happy to hand that trophy to them," he said.
* Mother Nature dumped another five inches of snow on Dallas Thursday – on top of the ice that's blanketed the city all week – and the weather in North Texas has been an unavoidable topic of conversation. Not so much because of how cold it is (colder, incidentally, than my trips to Green Bay, Pittsburgh or Detroit this year), but because of how poorly prepared the metroplex has been in terms of having salt-spreaders or snow plows at the ready.
To be fair, the area hasn't apparently seen weather like this in 15 years. And so Goodell wouldn't say the outdoor messiness will hinder North Texas's chances for bidding on another Super Bowl in the future.
"There are a number of factors that our owners take into consideration where to have the Super Bowl. They each have their priorities," he said. "I think the stadium is a priority that's consistent across all 32 clubs because quite frankly that's our stage."

By Ralph Epifanio
Superlatives alone are not enough to describe a recent series of accomplishments for Hatter Cross Country team runners. Working only part time with head coach Mallory Dunn-due to NCAA post-season restrictions--they have, nonetheless, committed themselves to a training regimen that is reaping team-wide success.
Leading the pack, in more ways than their captainship, are Maria Harper and Kyle Burton. Their attendance at double workouts, all-out efforts in pre-dawn speed runs, and hours-long road trips to distant races have resulted in spectacular times.
Harper, a junior, ran a lifetime best 18:49 at the February 26th Gasparilla 5K in Tampa, finishing 51st overall (out of 10, 829 finishers). That placed her 6th among the 4440 women runners, and fourth in the race's most competitive (20-24) age group.
Burton doubled at the March 4-5th UNF Spring Break Invitational, running a team-leading PR of 16:26.55 in the 5000 meter race, then adding a 4:41.08 in the 1500. Also competing in both races was Brian Dughi: 4:32.94 in the 1500 and 17:28.71 in the 5000.
Andrew Epifanio won two races in seven days: The Faith and Health 5K on February 27th (17:19), and the Run for Your Life 10K (which, unfortunately became 5.63 miles when the lead vehicle went the wrong way) on March 5th (32:23). Thus far he has three firsts and two seconds (overall) in his last five races.
Stephanie Bird won her age group, 20-24, at both the February 12th 5K Tooth Trot (22:15.7), and March 5th 3K Rhino Romp (13:03.3);
Other team members who have recently competed include Katrina McKay (2:10:08 at the February 26th Melbourne Music Half Marathon), Jasmine Chalashtori (2:10:58 at the February 27th Disney Princess Half Marathon), and Deryck Greene (second in the 18-29 age group at the March 6th Faith and Health 5K in 20:45).

Charleston, the No. 1 ranked team in Class 3, opened up a 10-point first quarter lead and was never seriously threatened as they held off Sikeston 68-56 in front of a jam-packed Sikeston Field House crowd.
"We probably handled the atmosphere as well as we've ever handled it," said Charleston head coach Danny Farmer. "We normally go berserk. But we were calm. Both teams were calm. We didn't let the crowd get into it that much in this game."
Fans itching for some highlight reel plays didn't get their money's worth.
There were no slam dunks or fantastic displays of athleticism that are normally present when Sikeston and Charleston meet.
Just a lot of 3-pointers.
Both teams had season-highs in 3-pointers made on the night. Sikeston hit 8-of-27 attempts while Charleston knocked down six 3-pointers.
Forcing Charleston to shoot from the outside was part of the strategy according to Sikeston head coach Gregg Holifield, who kept his team in a tight zone for much of the night.
"We knew they were so darn tough inside that we had to make them shoot from the perimeter," said Holifield. "They just so happened to knock some 3s down. They hit six 3s and they shot the ball well. If they do that, they're very difficult to beat."
On top of the made 3-pointers, the Bluejays dominated the offensive boards and were able to get many second-chance points, which, obviously, not part of the plan.
"That was a big difference, probably the biggest difference. We didn't keep them off the boards," said Holifield. "They're so active on the offensive boards, more active than any team we play every year."
Although the Bluejays led throughout, the Bulldogs never would go away as they had the lead under 10 points on several occasions in the second half.
Junior guard Marcus McCaster helped keep the Bulldogs close by scoring 12 of his game-high 21 points in the third quarter.
McCaster, who hit 4-of-10 from downtown, had one of his best offensive nights of the year.
The Bulldogs also handled Charleston's pressure defense fairly well as they turned the ball over only eight times on the night.
"I've seen our pressure do some things to teams, but they didn't turn it over as much as I expected," said Farmer. "I thought they would've thrown it away a lot more. I thought they handled our pressure well."
Charleston grabbed the early lead in the game. A 12-2 run by the Bluejays gave them an 18-10 lead after one quarter.
The Bulldogs got to within 18-15 after a McCaster 3-pointer, but the Bluejays extended the lead back to double figures, leading 30-20 at the half.
"In the first half, we missed shots we normally knock down," said Holifield. "But again, Charleston doesn't give you many open looks.
The Bluejays led by as much as 15 in the third quarter but the Bulldogs responded, keyed by McCaster's hot shooting. McCaster made three consecutive 3-pointers in the third quarter to get the lead down to 43-35 with 2:25 left.
But as quick as Sikeston had the lead to single digits, Charleston senior Trentez Lane scored the Bluejays' last seven points of the quarter to push the lead back to 50-38.
"We got down 10 and kept battling, but every time we'd get it to six or seven they'd just come up and make a play," said Holifield. "That's what good teams do. Lane was the difference-maker."
Lane finished with a team-high 17 points, including three 3-pointers.
"Lane really took charge and had a super game," said Farmer. "We always have one guy to come up and play a very good game and Trentez did that tonight."
Charleston led by as much as 56-38 early in the fourth quarter but the Bulldogs continued to relentlessly fire up 3-pointers.
They got as close as 11 down the stretch but couldn't get the game into single digits.
"They were making some of them, but we would come back down and make a bucket," said Farmer. "As long as we were exchanging buckets I felt alright."
Charleston has now defeated Sikeston nine straight times dating back to the 1999-2000 season.
"We played hard, but they are just a really good team," said Holifield. "They've got a lot of weapons and they play well as a team. In my opinion, that's possibly the state champs right there."
Bluejay senior Joshua Strayhorn had 14 points. Junior Ashton Farmer chipped in with 13 points and freshman Jamarcus Williams added eight points.
Senior Marcus Biles, although only scoring six points, made his presence felt as he had numerous assists and wreaked havoc on the Bulldog ball-handlers on defense.
"Biles and Ashton, they're just as good as any players in the state in my opinion," said Holifield. "Ashton stepped up and hit some big shots, under some pressure too. He just turned around and knocked them down. Biles, he may be the best point guard in the state of Missouri."
Bulldog sophomore Trey Spence chipped in with 11 points and five rebounds. Senior Freddie Wiggins had eight points with nine rebounds.
Freshman Joe Lincoln had eight points and three assists. Kash Bratcher, a sophomore, hit two NBA-range 3-pointers in the fourth quarter during the Bulldogs' comeback attempt.
"I'll say one thing, Sikeston is a much improved team from the first time we played them," said Farmer. "I think those young guys have helped them a lot and they're playing well. I think they are a much better team now."
Sikeston (3-7, 1-1 SEMO Conference) won't play again until the Superman Classic on Jan. 19. They will open the first round against host school Massac County.
Charleston (13-1, 2-0 SEMO) will play at SEMO Conference foe New Madrid County Central on Tuesday at 6 p.m.
"It was a great experience for our kids," said Holifield. "Our fans were outstanding -- both sets of fans were great. The kids love to play in that atmosphere. It helps you get prepared for the district tournament."
The Sikeston JV team fell to 8-2 on the season with a 65-48 loss to Charleston.
The win by the Bluejay JV team avenges a 67-60 defeat to Sikeston back in the Notre Dame JV Tournament.
Sikeston led 13-6 after one quarter and led 15-6 early in the second quarter, but the Bluejays took control from there.
Charleston led 25-24 at the half and 44-36 heading into the fourth quarter.
Sikeston was led by freshman Julian Beard's 15 points, four rebounds and four assists.
Joel Nabors added 13 points and 10 rebounds. Jeremy Conley had six points and 10 rebounds.
Sikeston turned the ball over 27 times in the game.
Charleston was led by freshman Shawn Sherrell with 20 points. Freshman Justin Clark added 14 points.

The Great Gatsby
by F. Scott Fitzgerald
The Great Gatsby Theme of Compassion and Forgiveness
(Click the themes infographic to download.)
The characters in The Great Gatsby all show a unique combination of a willingness to forgive and a stubbornness not to. Gatsby is willing to forgive Daisy's marriage to another man, but not her loving him. Daisy is willing to forgive Tom for cheating but unwilling to forgive Gatsby for deceiving her about what kind of person he is. Much of the sadness of The Great Gatsby comes from this kind of almost-forgiveness; the characters are taunted with the possibility that all will be forgiven, only to have it torn away because of another character's stubbornness.
Questions About Compassion and Forgiveness
- What gets forgiven and what does not get forgiven in this novel? Why?
- Nick claims in the first page of the novel that he was told to never criticize. Is he compassionate towards Gatsby, or does he judge the man? Does this evolve over the course of the novel?
- Are we, the reader, compelled to forgive Wilson for murdering Gatsby?
- Back to Nick's father's advice at the beginning of the novel: what is the effect of this opening? Might it be intended as advice for us, as we read the story? If so, how easy is it to read The Great Gatsby without criticizing? Is the advice perhaps ironic, indicating that we are supposed to judge?
Chew on This
Although all of the characters behave badly in the novel, Daisy is the one who seems to demonstrate forgiveness by her constant acceptance of her husband's behavior.
Although it might appear that Tom and Daisy "forgive" each other, the reality is that they simply choose to ignore each other's transgressions. Forgiveness plays no role in their actions or their marriage.

Artificial aid after partial amputation of the foot is seldom satisfactory for the reason that the normal elasticity on which ease of locomotion depends is practically eliminated by destruction of the arch and a proportionate crippling results. Taking, for example, one of the more common operations, Lisfranc's or its modifications, we have, as a rule, the ankle joint intact and are able to leave a substantial support for the body weight, but in walking the spring of the foot is lost, the stride is shortened and progression interfered with to a considerable extent.
One of my patients (Fig. 1) was in this condition until he began to use a device (partly his own suggestion) which has been of great assistance. By its aid he often walks a distance of from 6 to 7 miles without fatigue or discomfort; he has resumed his work as a miner and can readily ascend

|On Wednesday, Buckeye Institute offered testimony to the Ohio House Ways and Means Committee on one of the hottest topics in Columbus: municipal income tax reform. This is a key issue for Ohio's future economic competitiveness for several reasons.
First, Ohio's tax burden is too high to keep us competitive in the global economy, but it's not just our state taxes that are a problem. Local taxes are just as bad or worse. According to the Ohio Department of Taxation, Ohio ranks 13th in local tax burden as a percentage of income. According to the non-partisan Tax Foundation, our business tax climate ranks a poor 39th while our overall state and local tax burden still puts us in the top half at 20th place.
To reform our tax system in the long run, we must address not only the rates we pay but also how we tax. In the shorter term, there is something Ohio can do to alleviate serious burdens on Ohio businesses, particularly small companies: municipal income tax reform.
Ohio is one of only a few states that even allow municipalities to levy income taxes. Of the states that allow municipal income taxes, the majority of these only see taxes assessed by major cities. By contrast, with 593 municipalities levying this tax, Ohio trails only Pennsylvania, with 2,492, in the number of taxing municipalities nationwide.
Unfortunately, Ohio is unique in the nation as the only state allowing each municipality to draft its own rules for withholding and the calculation of penalties. This leads to absurd situations where contractors may have to file income tax returns for each jurisdiction in which they do business (there was testimony from small businesses that had to file over a dozen returns) no matter the size of the liability. Often, the cost of complying with the labyrinth of paperwork exceeds the actual tax! Remember, small and especially entrepreneurial businesses are the typical net job creators in America today. Many of them are unable to afford the legion of accountants and lawyers necessary to assure compliance with these local taxes.
This raises the question of why Ohio would want to raise significant barriers to entry for these new companies. The answer is that it doesn't, but until it can simplify its uniquely complex and burdensome municipal income tax structure, Ohio will in effect be doing just that. And until then, The Buckeye Institute will continue work to reduce barriers to business entry, and to create a simpler, flatter, more transparent tax system for Ohio.

About the Book
"Rick Pitino knows a thing or two about comebacks—on the court and in life."<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
—Louisville Courier-Journal
Basketball legend Rick Pitino reveals his model of success built upon his experiences of failure and personal loss in Rebound Rules—a powerful, deeply personal book about never giving up. Recalling the tragedies that shaped his life and career—his unsuccessful tenure as Celtics coach, the devastating loss on 9/11 of his best friend and his brother-in-law and the deep depression that followed—Coach Pitino shares his Rebound Rules, demonstrating how he emerged wiser and rose to new heights with a richer perspective on life and work…and how you can, too.
Rick Pitino is a basketball icon: the only coach in college history to lead three different schools to the Final Four, the winner of the 1996 NCAA championship, the owner of a sparkling career record, a bestselling author, and a lock for the College Basketball Hall of Fame. Yet Pitino's journey has not been without life-altering adversity: He's experienced profound personal and professional losses. In 2001, after three losing seasons as coach and president of the Boston Celtics, Pitino resigned, walking away from the $23 million left in his contract. And while recovering from the only breakdown in his extraordinary basketball career, Pitino—who had previously suffered the devastating loss of his infant son, Daniel—endured additional tragedies: His brother-in-law and best friend Billy Minardi, a trader at Cantor Fitzgerald, perished in the World Trade Center attacks of 9/11, less than a year after another brother-in-law had been fatally struck by a taxi. Pitino writes, "From that point on, my life changed forever. Nothing will ever be the same."
This realization gave Pitino a new perspective. With it, the innovative leader felt the freedom to act even more dynamically than he ever had in the past. Returning to college basketball, he has rebuilt and revitalized the storied program at Louisville, guiding the Cardinals to a history-making Final Four appearance in 2005 that stamped him the only coach in history to take three schools that far. And in 2008, he rallied an injury-plagued Louisville team from a disappointing start and led it to the Elite Eight, setting the stage for greater success to come.
The failures and tragedies he recounts make this book unique. More than just a recitation of what works and why, it's about how to succeed after you've failed; how to pick yourself up after being knocked down; and how to reframe yourself and see the world in a new light. This is a comeback story, a manual for overcoming life's difficulties. Pitino has experienced success as an author with his tremendously popular books Success Is a Choice and Lead to Succeed, but in Rebound Rules: The Art of Success 2.0, he's crafted a book that's more deeply personal, more inspiring, more practical, and more powerful than any he's written before.

Champions League clash with Braga, that he is considering a change in formation to play new signing Shinji Kagawa and hot prospect Tom Cleverley in more prominent positions. The United boss is set to play without wingers, despite it being his tactical trademark and a constant in the United formation since the Scot became manager in 1986.
Cleverley and Kagawa were rested for Man United's Premier League match against Stoke at the weekend, but will return tonight against Braga as integral cogs in a new Diamond formation. The change in tactics should put both players in their natural positions that will allow them to play to their full potential. Ferguson also believes that being unpredictable will be a boost to United's Champions League ambitions.
"If it turns out we play the diamond consistently, it would be revolutionary because it is going against our history" said Ferguson.
"But the level of the game in England and Europe now is so high that making yourself unpredictable is going to be a strength.
"Teams will have to think if we are going to use two out wide or the diamond, because we have players capable of doing both things.
"Kagawa and Cleverley can play really well in the type of game that a diamond offers, whilst in Nani, Ashley Young and Antonio Valencia we have very good wide players."
Last week Kagawa revealed he is not yet satisfied with his performances since moving from Borussia Dortmund in the summer. The 23-year-old told Japanese news agency Kyodo: "I don't believe I have cemented my place yet. There is not one game that I can be satisfied with the way I played over the 90 minutes.
"I need to communicate better so I can get my timing right when asking for the ball and things like that. It is really tough but it was the same at Dortmund and once I get through it I think I can improve. "
The Japanese midfielder will be hoping to continue United's 100% Champions League record tonight against Braga at Old Trafford.

"Actresses as a rule know no more about making themselves beautiful than does the average woman; neither are they naturally more beautiful," wrote actress Margaret Illington Banes in a 1912 article entitled "The Mad Search for Beauty." "The truth of the matter is," she continued, "that no actress—or any woman—can impart the secrets of beauty to another, any more than the rich man can impart the secrets of business success to some other man." Disturbed by recent trends in the theatrical profession that required actresses to present themselves as "beauty specialists," Banes sought to expose the constructed nature of their on- and offstage performances. Stage stars captivated audiences because they had numerous opportunities to appear onstage dressed in the height of style; "under the same circumstances," she concluded, most women "would look quite as well."
Marlis Schweitzer recendy received her Ph.D. from the University of Toronto's Graduate Centre for the Study of Drama. Her dissertation, "Becoming Fashionable: Actresses, Fashion, and the Development of American Consumer Culture," examines the convergence of theater and the fashion industry in New York between 1893 and 1919. An adjunct faculty member at the University of Toronto at Mississauga during 2004-05, she will begin a Mellon postdoctoral fellowship next fall at the University of Pennsylvania, where her new research will focus on "fashion nationalism" in American culture.

Brown, Stephen Johnson, Charlie Keil, Pamela Walker Laird, Jean-Christophe Agnew, Charles McGovern, and Sara Alpern for making insightful comments on earlier drafts of this article. I would also like to thank Alan Lessoff and Kathy Fuller Seeley for making editing suggestions that gready improved the final draft. A small section of this article (now much revised) appeared in Business and Economic History On-line 1.1 (2003) as part of the conference proceedings for the 2003 Business History Conference.

You may have noticed temperatures across the country are warming up! A great way to cool off, or just take a break from work or summer school, is to see one of this summer's big movie hits:
1. The To Do List (7/26)
This romantic comedy stars Aubrey Plaza as recent high school graduate, Brandy Clark. When she starts to feel pressured to become more sexually experienced before going off to college, Brandy makes a list of things to accomplish before the summer is over.
2. 2 Guns (8/2)
Mark Wahlberg and Denzel Washington get themselves into some trouble in this action comedy. They star as a DEA agent and an undercover Naval Intelligence Officer assigned to investigate each other only to find out they've been set up by the very people they've been stealing money from.
3. Elysium (8/9)
Matt Damon and Jodie Foster are back in the movie business with this film set in the year 2154. The rich live on an expensive space-stay while the rest of the population lives on a desolate and poor Earth. Damon stars as the man given a mission that could bring equality to the two worlds.
4. Planes (8/9)
Who doesn't love an animated movie? The lovable Dane Cook is the voice of Dusty, a lowly crop-dusting plane dreaming of competing in a great race. There's just one little problem: he's afraid of heights. But, with Skipper, his mentor, and some new friends, Dusty finds out his dream of flying high may be possible after all.
5. The Butler (8/16)
Cecil Gaines (Forest Whitaker) served eight presidents as the White House's head butler from 1952 to 1986, so it's fair to say he had a special front-row seat as history was made. The all-star cast includes Oprah, John Cusack, Lenny Kravitz, Robin Williams, and Mariah Carey.
6. Jobs (8/16)
"Stay hungry, stay foolish." In Jobs, Ashton Kutcher gets the privilege of playing the esteemed tech genius Steve Jobs. The movie follows him from the time he dropped out of college to his ascension to one of the most creative entrepreneurs ever.
There are some great movies out this summer, so head on down to your local theater to escape the heat and indulge in a good movie and a bucket of popcorn. Just make sure you aren't putting off any homework for summer classes!
What's on your must-see movie list? Tell us in a comment below!

Old Machinerycomments (1) August 21st, 2009 in blogs
In a previous post, I described how the moving company was coming to take a look at my workshop so they could pack it up and move it to a new residence in Connecticut. As you might remember, the move was the result of a new job here at Fine woodworking. Packing and shipping my tools and our other belongings went fine, but settling into a new home has taken a little longer than we thought. As a result, all of our stuff--including my tools are in storage while we find a place.
Without my workshop, I've been struggling for ways to satisfy my tool addiction, so when a web search turned up the Connecticut Antique Machinery Association (CAMA) museum in Kent, Ct. I knew I had to go check it out.
When I called Sunday morning to confirm the would be open for an afternoon visit, Jim Daly, a volunteer and former Wall St. stock trader answered the phone. Jim said he'd be greeting us when we got there and would be happy to show us around.
Based on this conversation alone, I could tell this museum was the perfect place for a tool addict to spend an afternoon. The CAMA museum is housed in several buildings, each dedicated to a specific industrial application including mining, large and small stationary engines, agricultural equipment, a locomotive shed, and a well-equipped machine shop. There are a few woodworking machines and a sawmill restoration is in the works.
If you're ever in the area, this place is definitely worth a visit. I'm planning to go back at the end of September for their annual Fall Festival when the museum hosts dozens of machines and their enthusiastic owners. Most machines will be up and running and the air will be filled with steam, smoke and sounds of work. The Fall festival runs September 25, 26, and 27th. You can learn more at the CAMA Website.

Library Committee Minutes
October 8, 1999
Room 120
Members present: Trisha Ardovino, Elsie Patterson, Richard Snowberg, Anne Galbraith, Rick Gillis, Tim Gerber, Anita Evans, Abdulaziz Elfessi, Billy Clow, Randy Hoelzen, Gerry Cox
Members Excused: Andrew Stapleton and Sara Slayton
The meeting was called to order at 11:00am.
Minutes from the previous meeting were read and approved.
The Director's Report‑ Library Director Anita Evans discussed the budget and funding for the library. She also explained the budget process and described budget initiatives that go beyond the regular budget. One example given was the ability to enhance delivery services to be able to provide better inter‑library loan services. With only three days of delivery per week, services were slower. The committee discussed sending a letter to thank the governor for his help and support of the library budget and to include in the letter that we would like to see continuing support for the library budget. Randy, Anita, and Gerry will draft a letter to the governor stating these ideas. Anita also reported that library endowment funds had been used to purchase a Hmong quilt that will be dedicated at 10:00 am, November 3, 1999. Members are invited to attend the ceremony.
New business:
The possibility of having the Library Committee develop a web page to be a part of the Faculty Library Page was discussed. It was suggested that this might be an opportunity to receive responses from students and faculty about library issues, to provide updates on what the committee is working on and projects that are on‑going, to describe the role of the committee, to be a discussion board to allow issues and answers, to provide minutes or activities of the committee, to give the e‑mail addresses of committee members, to make available our annual reports and other documents, and to provide any other information that we might later deem appropriate. The item will be discussed further at a future meeting when the committee can meet with the library staff person involved with the library's web page.
The library is currently searching for an Electronics Resources Librarian.
The possibility of having training workshops for specific databases for faculty was discussed.
Issues involving periodicals and the process of adding or deleting journals was discussed.
Requests for issues for the committee to address during the current school year were also discussed.
The possibility of a survey of the use and needs of patrons of the library was discussed.
The meeting was adjourned at 11:40 am
Respectively submitted,
Gerry Cox
Committee Chair

i need to know how to add images.. there must be a fast easy way to do it? any tips?

i need to know how to add images.. there must be a fast easy way to do it? any tips?
The img quicktag above the post box is a handy way to add the html markup.
yeah but the nice thing with wysiwyg editors you just select your image and it uploads..
using the IMG quick tag means i have to go through the hassle of uploadin gthe image and then directing to it through the IMG tag
must be an easier way to upload and add all at the same time?
Not at the moment, AFAIK.
damn.. ok well how do i wrap text around my pic.. if i want the pic at the top left?
i was told to insert

but what do i add to that to have that top left and text around it on the right
Try a search for "wrap text around graphic".
How about using Iimage Browser? The latest version puts a new button above your editing window. You can insert a graphic using that; it's pretty painless.
I'll second the plugin iimage browser plugin. As far as the th image and text wrap, check your css, but you may have a img.left that floats the image therefore your img tag would be

you can always cut and paste the image CSS from Kubrick if your theme doesn't have it.

Discussion in 'Star Trek Movies XI+' started by HaplessCrewman, Sep 24, 2013.
But Harve Bennett didn't write Star Trek II : /
As executive producer he had a great deal of input. I guess I should have said, are Jack B. Sowards and Nick Meyer hacks? Is J.J. Abrams? Etc.
Don't think it's a "JJ" thing at all.
The writers provide the tree, JJ just decorates it.
It's not. Not a rehash of Space Seed either.
My opinion is, if they'd ended it differently (no TWoK death scene rip-off) this movie would be just as universally praised as ST09.
Sometimes I think some people here live in an alternate reality? Or maybe it's just that I do.
When Bad Robot said "This is not your father's 'Star Trek'", they weren't dissing the old one. They were telling the new demographic that the new films would have something for them, as well as their Dads.
Yes, Orci & Kurtzman are self-proclaimed TNG fans, but they spent months reading TOS novels - and even made a list of the ones they loved ("Spock's World", "Final Frontier", "Best Destiny", "Ex Machina", etc), several of which became influential in their writing of the 2009 film.
And I don't recall any of the Bad Robot gang describing "old Trek" as "lame and boring". JJ Abrams explained that he found ST:TMP disappointingly boring, because he was an enthusiastic little kid at the Smithsonian premiere and he was expecting a SF film just like the "Star Wars" film he'd seen two years earlier.
I was a ST newbie in 1980 and had just started substitute teaching in the years between TMP and ST II - and all the kids I tried to chat Star Trek with thought that TMP was boring. Most adult fans I met agreed with them.
So what other "bashing" did I miss, or misunderstand?
Another word is usually used when screenwriters and directors become involved in each other's work: producer.
Who cares?
About what?
The "not your father's... " tagline was also confined to a single TV spot which appeared very late in the promo campaign, less than a month before the movie's general release. I think it first aired during a sporting event of some kind, playing to an audience not typically courted for Star Trek or SF genre entertainment.
The "Nacelles Monthly" quip wasn't bashing, either - just more of Abrams explaining that he was making a movie targeted for a wider audience, so that he wouldn't necessarily be focusing on this or that <tech> detail to the degree that a "hardcore Trek fan" might want to see.
Trying to make anything mentioned in Jarod's post out to be bashing is to be reaching too far.
IMO the reason Star Trek will never make a successful return to TV in the near future is because of the rabid fanbase, it can make your project a success but its too dam hard to please.
Agree completely!!
Well, if you listen to Orci's latest podcast. (See Trekmovie) he indicates to the contrary.
That's where I got the Christmas Tree saying.
I do think there's a bit of truth to both sides of the argument--Star Trek XII isn't above some criticism, but it's also been the subject of some bandwagon bashing too. But it's kinda the course for all Trek productions with both fans and vocal detractors.
So true.
I had a big problem with the "Khan superblood" thing, but thinking it over I've tamed my "beast"
Still not there concerning the death scene though...
The thing is, there would be NO Star Trek right now if it weren't for JJ. Enterprise was the first TV series since TOS to be cancelled, and Nemesis bombed critically and financially. The franchise was DEAD, no one wanted to greenlight Star Trek projects for a decade. JJ not only resurrected the franchise, but made millions of NEW people into Star Trek fans. That is an accomplishment worthy of note.
Last time I checked, the writing credits of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan were:
Story by Harve Bennett and Jack B. Sowards
Screenplay by Jack B. Sowards
I've got to agree with you there.
A movie blockbuster can happen even if the hardcore minority of Trek's fans are pissed. STiD is proof of that.
But a TV show can only survive if it has a fanbase that is loyal. Trek fans are so splintered, they couldn't even agree on...
... Hell! They couldn't agree on a damn thing...
So - New movie in 2016, but no chance of a new series within the next decade I'd say.
I seem to remember a report that JJ wanted to do a new TV series that would run alongside the movies, but that the studio said no. I'm not sure if that's true, but it sounds like something that JJ would do.
It was a video game.
Kurtzman and/or Orci have mentioned wanting to do a Series, but, no rejection or approval (Or for that matter a Solid pitch) has been confirmed by anyone
Many of us have theorized that the most likely scenario, would be after STiD proved to be a success (Which it now has), that a Series (Probably animated, not Live Action) would be greenlighted, so that it would be able to premiere shortly after the next movie premieres. No indication that this is going forward at this point, though. (Which would also be a 50th Anniversary Celebration, as well, hopefully)
Separate names with a comma.

In the portfolio Hölle (Hell), Max Beckmann journeys, Virgil-like, through Berlin. These ten oversize lithographs present an unflinching look at social disintegration and civil violence after the catastrophe of World War I. Beckmann visited Berlin in March 1919, and depicts himself amid the misery in Hölle; his self-portrait appears in five prints and on the front cover, which, in a handwritten note, promises the viewer an entertaining spectacle.
Unlike many of his compatriots, including the disfigured veteran he encounters in the first print, Der Nachhauseweg (The way home), Beckmann came back whole. He presents a fragmented city, with bodies jutting out of the pictures' frames and figures contorted in impossible spaces. In Die Strasse (The street), a thoroughfare is bustling with daytime activity, yet no one notices the man being carried off, arms flailing, by another man. In Das Martyrium (The martyrdom), under the cover of night, communist leader Rosa Luxemburg is about to be murdered. Speeches, songs, and even last stands are futile. No place is safe: Beckmann transforms an attic into a torture chamber in Die Nacht (Night), while quiet desperation pervades his own family's home in Der Hunger (Hunger). In the final print, Die Familie (The family), Beckmann's young son, Peter, mistakes a grenade for a toy. Beckmann brings the hell of war home in these prints. His publisher, J. B. Neumann, did not sell any when he exhibited them in 1919.

Near the corner of Bushkill Falls Road and Route 2001 in Lehman Township there has been activity at an old yellow house and a gravel-covered clearing of land.
Last year the house and land, owned by the township, were leased to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation as an office and equipment staging area for Leeward Construction during the Route 2001 improvement project.
This year, a subcontractor for the PPL power line project that can be seen near Fernwood Hotel is leasing the house and lot, Lehman Supervisor John Sivick said.
The contractor pays $1,000 a month for the house and $750 an acre a month for the use of the lot. That is a typical price contractors are paying around here, Sivick said.
A staging area is not as thrilling as the speculation. Some locals thought perhaps trucks in the commercial lot were in preparation of a grocery store or other service.
"We do have a plan for that lot," Sivick said.
The back parcel will be filled with material from the Route 2001 project, the lot prepared and then the township hopes to sell it to a developer.
"Pocono Medical Center touched base with us last year," Sivick said. The township has also had communications with a bank. Supervisors are interested in seeing the land developed.

text: The Monkees were one of the most controversial bands of the 1960's. They were controversial because many people could not decide if they were really a band or not. Conceived first as a television series the group was made of up two established musicians Michael Nesmith and Peter Tork, an English Broadway performer, Davy Jones and a former child star, Micky Dolenz who was also toured with his sister as part of a folk singing duo.

Location: Molecular Plant Pathology
Project Number: 8042-22000-282-15
Start Date: Oct 01, 2012
End Date: Jul 30, 2014
This project will focus on phytoplasmas infecting grapefine, apple, pear, and stone fruits. ARS will select the best methods to use for plant sample storage and for rapid and reliable extraction protocols for total nucleic acids from leaves. Symptomatic plants will be tested by state or private labs using a phytoplasma-nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Phytoplasma positive samples will then be analyzed by ARS using molecular tools (RFLP analysis) to determine the specific strain/species present and to distinguish between endemic phytoplasmas and the exotic phytoplasmas that are being surveyed for in early detection surveys. This project will address the significant gap in phytoplasma diagnostic capacity at the strain/species level. This project will also enhance taxonomic capacity for phytoplasmas, and will involve the deployment of molecular diagnostic tools, which are both strategies of this goal area. This project aligns with the diagnostic capacity building category. Specifically this fits within molecular tool development/validation for CAPS national survey targets for phytoplasmas at the species/strain level.

It is important to give to those in need; and in tougher economic times, it's even more so. Through the Earnhardt H.E.A.R.T. program, participating employees elect to have a certain dollar amount deducted from their paychecks which then gets donated to a different organization each month.
Childhelp is our October H.E.A.R.T. recipient and will receive a check for $2,259 from Earnhardt Auto Centers. Childhelp is a national non-profit organization dedicated to helping victims of child abuse and neglect.
September's recipient was Let There Be Sight, in conjunction with Donor Network of Arizona, provides corneal transplants to the underprivileged, worldwide, in order to cure blindness and a myriad of other eye diseases. They received a gift of $2,245.50 from Earnhardt Auto Centers.
$1,949 was given to the Arizona Animal Welfare League for the month of August. The Arizona Animal Welfare League and SPCA is Arizona's oldest and largest no-kill shelter. AAWL provides a temporary home for nearly 3000 dogs and cats every year.

VINA DEL MAR, Chile — Rafael Nadal's knee held up for a third straight day as he won a doubles match at the VTR Open on Thursday.
And he will get twice the workout today.
The Spaniard teamed with Juan Monaco to reach the doubles semifinals with a 6-2, 7-6 (4) victory over Guillaume Ruffin and Filippo Volandri; his third match in three days after being away from the game for seven months with an ailing left knee and a stomach virus.
Nadal will play fellow Spaniard Daniel Gimeno-Traver in the singles quarterfinals today, and is scheduled to play later the same day in doubles with Monaco against Argentines Carlos Berlocq and Leonardo Mayer.
This is the kind of test he'd been looking for as he tries to get his play up to the level where he can challenge Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Andy Murray again.
The former No. 1-ranked Nadal moved easily around the court, showing no signs his left knee was bothering him.

Get Your Summer Confidence Back
Summertime is here and it's time to be comfortable in your own body. It's that time of year when the sun is out (hopefully) and so are the swimsuits. Don't miss out on fun in the sun because you're worried about those last 10-20 pounds or the belly fat — do something about it! Here are a few dieting and exercise tips that will help you feel good and look good for summer.
Foods to help you say goodbye to belly fat (and those last 10-20 pounds!)
A great way to start the day, these high-fiber friends will ward off unhealthy cravings and keep your energy levels up through the morning.
Another high-fiber food that can help with that unwanted belly fat. They have many health benefits, as they are loaded with vitamins A, C and E, as well as various minerals.
Packed with protein and good (monounsaturated) fats, nuts help regulate food cravings and belly fat.
EAT, EAT, EAT your greens! Not only are they packed with vitamins and minerals, but they are also low in calories and very high in fiber. In particular, asparagus, broccoli and spinach are great combatants of the belly-fat monster.
There are many other foods that can help with belly fat, but I find these the most effective and accessible. I also find that taking some magnesium before bed helps with belly fat as well as stress. You get better sleep and it helps lower cortisol levels that cause excess belly and body fat.
Exercises to whittle your middle
While it is important to combine all forms of training, cardio is the best way to feel good and the most effective way to drop the belly fat and overall pounds. It is important to remember not to just go through the motions. Make sure you are out of breath; if your legs are just burning, but you're not out of breath, then you should push through the pain as much as you can. It's when your body is starved for oxygen that you get real results. (I could give you the science behind it, but I'll save you the time — Just do it!)
Resistance training
Building muscle not only helps burn more fat at rest, it is the best way to shape the body. Be an artist with your own body. Take a look in the mirror and see what you want to do with your body and use resistance training to help you sculpt your masterpiece.
Core training
Once you get the weight off — and even before — training the core is a great way to give you a well-balanced physique and, more obviously, help trim the waist, giving you more confidence in that summer swimsuit.
Don't let this summer go without being able to enjoy your body and the sun. Let us know how it goes!
Be well,
