The election map also reflects the ethnic/cultural divide in Ukraine. Blue is the ethnic/culturally Russian zone that voted for Yanukovych while pink is ethnically/culturally Ukrainian that in 2004 voted for Yushchenko and Tymoshenko in 2010.
The Orange Revolution of 2004 excited many in the West. A pro-West coalition comprised of a nearly assassinated man and a woman who played up her family's peasant background with an iconic hairstyle overturned a stolen election and won power together. The Orange Revolution was to permanently server Russia's control over Ukraine and align the country with Europe and the United States.
That, sadly, was not to be. The almost assassinated man, President Viktor Yushchenko, strongly supported the United States and stood up to Russia. Yet his popularity fell immensely as the economy collapsed, various political parties turned against him, Russia repeatedly cut off gas, and Russia ignored his protests of their using Ukraine as a base in the 2008 Russia-Georgia War. The woman, Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, began to chart her own course attacking all sides, making deals with all sides, and naming her political party after herself. Meanwhile, the Russian-backed candidate, Viktor Yanukovych, has been most passive of the three yet more successful as he briefly became Prime Minister and managed to rebuild the pro-Russia alliance of parties.
The 2010 Presidential Elections
The breakdown of the Orange Revolution occurred with the recent 2010 presidential elections. The pro-Russian Yanukovych came in first by two percentage points over Tymoshenko who campaigned on a platform promising to balance relations with the West and Russia equally. President Yuschenko only earned five percent of the vote and came in fifth.
Tymoshenko and her supporters are trying to make a second Orange Revolution and overturn the vote by claiming Yanukovych's backers are trying to steal the election again. However, this time she is lacking in a pro-West platform mandate. Also, she can be described as the Sarah Palin of Ukraine as one either loves her or hates her. An Ukrainian pro-Russian television pundit described her as "the incarnation of evil" and a pro-West commentator said she was the "mother of all lies." Meanwhile a supporter of her's in parliament said she was a "regular Ukrainian thrusted onto greatness." Whether or not she is successful in overturning the election she will undoubtedly cripple the country even further if she goes through with her mass protest threats. Her supporters could either become marginalized jokes like those of would-be Mexican president Andres Lopez Obrador or a serious political force like the various opposition groups formerly and currently in Georgia.
The Ethnic and Cultural Background
Corruption and Byzantine-style politics have certainly helped in developing the current state of Ukrainian affairs but the primal rift lies deep in the ethnic and cultural makeup of Ukraine.
Russia and Ukraine's pasts are inseparable. Ukraine's capital is Kyiv (Kiev) and it was the medieval capital of the Kievan Rus. The Kievan Rus is the proto-state which both Ukraine and Russia claim mutual cultural and political heritage from. The Kievan Rus' Prince Vladimir the Great's conversion to Christianity was the founding event for what would become the Russian Orthodox Church. After the defeat of Crimean Tatars in the eighteenth century present-day eastern and southern Ukraine became known as Novorossiya (literally "New Russia") as Russian immigrant colonialist took over land from the fleeing Muslims. Ukraine, for the most part, stayed part of Imperial Russia with briefly independent republican governments crushed by the Soviet Union before 1920. The Crimean Peninsula, meanwhile, only became part of Ukraine as a gift in 1954 (then it was merely a transfer from the Soviet Union to the Soviet Union so it only mattered on paper).
The intertwined relationship between Russia and Ukraine has left its mark on the geography of Ukraine. The eastern and southern parts of Ukraine form an economically better-off Russian belt. Seventeen percent of all Ukrainians are ethnic Russians with ninety percent of Crimea being ethnic Russian. Meanwhile, about a third of all ethnic Ukrainians, mostly those who live in the Russian belt, speak Russian as their primary language, watch and read Russian media, and are at least nominal members of the Russian Orthodox Church or its satellite Ukrainian Orthodox Church (Moscow Patriarchate). Yulia Tymoshenko was one of these culturally Russian Ukrainians. She only learned a commanding knowledge of the Ukrainian language around the year 2000. The major pro-Russia party, Viktor Yanukovych's Party of Regions, caters to ethnic and cultural Russians. In fact the party's website is not in Ukrainian but instead only in Russian and English. Imagine if the Republican Party only campaigned in Spanish or the Conservative Party only operated in Hindi yet still could win national elections. That is how ethnically and culturally split Ukraine is.
President Viktor Yushchenko failed in part because his initial base was limited to ethnic/cultural Ukrainians and he sought to impose Ukrainization in non-cultural Ukrainian parts of the country. Yushchenko tried yet failed to remove Russian-language government signs in eastern Ukraine. He also failed in banning Russian-language television. This not only offended the seventeen percent, ethnic Russians, but also the cultural Russians. Those two groups combine to create between forty and forty-five percent of the total population.
The effort to make Ukraine closer to the West at the expense of Russian-relations also cost Yushchenko. While Ukrainians are open to better relations with the West most actually believe good relations with Russia are a must. Recent polling by several agencies showed Ukrainians strongly reject NATO membership. There is some support for immediate efforts to join the European Union but an equal number are just as supportive for joining the Russia-Belarus Union State.
To the Future
The effort to have Ukraine join NATO was set back in Romania and died with the 2010 presidential election. The current geopolitical situation will have to change before a strong pro-West government takes Ukraine again. At the earliest this will take a decade. The Russian military bases in Crimea will probably be allowed to stay operating past the original 2017 deadline while NATO forces will only be allowed to dock at ports for short visits. Talk about Russian invading Ukraine for control of Crimea and the eastern half of the country were always week and should finally be laid to rest. There is no reason to invade Ukraine because a large minority of the country is solidly pro-Russia. Finally, Ukraine will probably no longer seriously consider joining the European Union.

None of Michigan popular in Ohio
- Written by THE BELLEFONTAINE EXAMINER STAFF
"WE DON'T Give a Damn for the Whole State of Michigan."
Although that song usually is associated with that university at Ann Arbor, it can apply to other parts of that state up North, especially as the No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes face the No. 10/9 Michigan State Spartans Saturday for the Big Ten Championship title and its far-reaching aspects.
My good friend and co-worker Mike Palmer, who is more musically inclined than I, suggested the song for this week's column.
As Palmer said, "The song title clearly states that being from OH-IO that we hate the 'whole state' of Michigan, in its entirety. Clearly, this song was never intended to be specific to one school. Therefore, I feel it is my duty as a Buckeye fan to follow the lyrics to the letter and give no quarter to any Michigander, whether they be Yoopers or Spartans."
Animosity between the two states dates back to the 1830s, and it nearly involved shooting because of the high feeling between Ohio and Michigan about the boundary between them. Legendary OSU coach Woody Hayes once commented about the rivalry and noted, "Well, the real fight started back in 1836 when Andrew Jackson, that wily old cuss, took Toledo away from that state up North and gave it to us."
The Buckeyes and the Spartans currently aren't concerned about a boundary line. They're battling for the Big Ten Championship title with the accompanying Amos Alonzo Stagg Championship Trophy as well as a chance to play in one of two games in Pasadena, either the 100th Rose Bowl Game on Jan. 1 or the Bowl Championship Series National Championship Game on Jan. 6.
Emerging as the victor Saturday won't be easy for either team as OSU's offense leads the Big Ten and is sixth nationally while the Spartans' defense ranks No. 1 in the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision. As to records this season, OSU's winning streak of 24 games currently is the longest in the nation and has set a record at OSU, and the Spartans are 11-1 with an 8-0 record in the Big Ten.
It's the second time since 1943 that two Big Ten teams have completed regular season with perfect conference marks.
Buckeye offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Tom Herman thinks "it's fantastic for the Big Ten to have this showcase," and there'll be "kind of strength against strength a little bit on different sides of the football."
OSU head football coach Urban Meyer said Michigan State has "as fine a defense as there is in America. Very good players, excellent scheme, well-coached." He added for the Spartans' first 11 games, "they are the most improved offense, certainly in the Big Ten and maybe one of the most improved in America."
Spartan head football coach Mark Dantonio, a Zanesville native who was a graduate assistant at OSU in 1983-84 as well as defensive coordinator there from 2001-03, said he has deep respect for the Buckeyes and what they've accomplished.
"When you look at OSU right now, I think obviously you always look at three facets of every football team," Dantonio said. "You look at their offense, certainly No. 1 offense in the Big Ten Conference, nationally ranked, excellent tailback, powerful runner, outstanding quarterback in Braxton Miller. Carlos Hyde is obviously an outstanding running back. I think they've got very talented wide receivers. Devin Smith, obviously Corey Brown, you go in and you look at Evan Spencer is a guy who's played a lot of football for them. Offensive line is experienced."
He also noted that it would be exciting for the Spartan defense to match up against the Buckeyes.
Dantonio also mentioned three goals which had been set for this year. No. 1 already has been accomplished, and the No. 2 goal is up Saturday. He explained that the No. 1 goal "was for us to get to this football game (Saturday), because you can't go to the Rose Bowl unless you get to this football game." The No. 2 goal is to get to the Rose Bowl, and Goal No. 3 is "to win our bowl game and to finish and to complete our circle. That's our circle," according to the coach.
Saturday's game in which OSU is the champion of the Big Ten Conference Leaders Division and the Spartans are the Legends Division champion marks the 42nd meeting between the two teams. OSU leads the all-time series 28-13 and has been the winner in eight of the last nine overall. Last year, the Buckeyes defeated the Spartans 17-16 in East Lansing.
OSU'S MILLER and Hyde respectively have been named Big Ten's Griese-Brees Quarterback of the Year and Big Ten's Ameche-Dayne Running Back of the Year. Other Buckeyes earning first-team, all-Big Ten honors are Corey Linsley, Jack Newhort, Andrew Norwell, Bradley Roby, Ryan Shazier and Noah Spence.
SPARTAN Darqueze Dennard was named the Tatum-Woodson Big Ten Defensive Back of the Year, and Shilique Calhoun was selected as the Smith-Brown Big Ten Defensive Lineman of the Year.
Other Spartans receiving first-team honors were Max Bullough, Kurtis Drummond, Isaiah Lewis and Mike Sadler.
SATURDAY'S game, which is in Lucas Oil Stadium, Indianapolis, will begin at 8:17 p.m., and it will be televised by FOX.

David Stevens : CNJ Editor
The contrasts were sharp and painful.
In last week's primary elections, Curry and Roosevelt counties' sheriff candidates promoted their integrity, their professionalism, their dignity, their church affiliations, their commitment to family and their caring for community.
Some of those same candidates' supporters, meanwhile, tore into opponents unchecked, without moral compass, with all the restraint of a coyote charging the open door of a chicken coop.
Darren Hooker, destined to become Roosevelt's new sheriff unless something unusual pops up in the fall general election, was painted as a killer and a liar.
The truth on the killing is that, yes, Hooker shot and killed a man in the line of duty about five years ago. The attackers didn't mention it was found by investigators to be a justifiable shooting.
As for the liar part, Hooker immediately fessed up after his educational background was misstated in a paid campaign advertisement. He corrected that fact and took responsibility for the error in a later ad.
Matt Murray, Tuesday's winner in Curry County, was publicly accused of being a quitter and a coward, his supposed fear for personal safety blamed in the 1992 deaths of three children. It's true Murray didn't stop a drunken driver who killed the kids and it's true he quit law enforcement for a while after the incident. But I wonder how many sheriff candidates we'd have if the job description included "emotionless" and "kamikaze tendencies."
Hooker and Murray took the brunt of the public criticism in published reports — paid advertisements and letters to the editor. But hateful, unproven allegations ranging from infidelity to the inability to handle personal finances were slung at all the sheriff candidates through more private exchanges, including anonymous letters and telephone calls to media.
A spin doctor might say the Curry and Roosevelt sheriffs' races were competitive. I think some people should be hanging their heads today, ashamed of the ethical sacrifices they made in effort to push their candidate into a position of power.
To their credit, the sheriff candidates themselves were not guilty of public mudslinging. They defended themselves when accused, but mostly resisted the temptation to attack back.
But if candidates can control themselves, why can't they also control their supporters? I wonder how hard some of them try.
It's difficult to sympathize with a politician — make no mistake, the sheriffs of New Mexico are politicians before they are law officers — and they knew politics was a contact sport before they signed up for the sheriffs' jobs. But let's not pretend that everybody who got hammered in this election was fair game for hammering. Innocent bystanders were victims, too.
Darron Smith of Portales is one example.
He's new to the region and he hadn't picked a side in the emotional Roosevelt County sheriff's race. He didn't even vote last week.
Yet, he was mistakenly blamed (and applauded) for an advertisement critical of sheriff's candidate Hooker that was paid for by Darren Smith of Roswell.
Darron Smith of Portales, a professor of agriculture at Eastern New Mexico University, said he received multiple telephone calls and e-mails from people who thought he had placed the ad.
"I was stunned when my phone started ringing at 8 o'clock (last) Sunday morning when the ad came out," he said.
Darron Smith of Portales also said he was surprised by the tone in the "nasty" campaign.
I wasn't surprised. Just disappointed. As usual.

School district wants walkway examined after student hit
Girl struck suffered minor injuries
Drivers using Crosby Avenue in Janesville may see more signs alerting them to a crosswalk in front of Franklin Middle School.
The suggestion comes just days after a 13-year-old girl was struck by a truck.
"It's one of those situations where the driver isn't being cautious enough and should have slowed down to make sure there was no one in the crosswalk," said Sgt. Brian Vaughn with the Janesville Police Department.
The accident happened Wednesday morning before school.
Investigators describe the vehicle as a truck used to pick up dump trucks.
A Janesville school district official said the girl was hurt, but not seriously.
"She returned back to school. She suffered some bruises to her hip, her elbow and some minor scrapes," said Dr. Yolanda Cargile, director of student services at the Janesville School District.
School district leaders are suggesting that the city put a standing sign in the crosswalk plus a flashing sign nearby as a visual reminder to drivers that pedestrians may be crossing there.
"That will bring better attention to the drivers as they are going through that area in an effort to, hopefully, to reduce any accidents," said Cargile.
Police said there haven't been any other pedestrian accidents there in the past, but the walkway does not have a crossing guard.
City engineers are now studying the area, although no timetable has been set for when or if the school district's suggestions could go into effect.
"We also have crossing guards at two other intersections within a short distance from where this crossing is and we encourage the kids to use those crossings," said Sgt. Vaughn.
The driver involved was cited for failure to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk. That's a fine of more than $175 and four points against your license.

This A list celebrity couple wanted to ensure the mom got exactly what she wanted so they gender selected their most recent baby
. The mom always likes everything to be exactly perfect and match what she thinks is the ideal.
Posh and Becks is another good guess.
I don't really think that this is a big deal. A lot of couples who have had just girls might want to have a boy or vice versa, but might not want to have 10 kids in the course of trying. If you've got the money to gender select, it's your own choice if you want to do that.ReplyCancel
Yep, Giselle.ReplyCancel
I think is probably Posh & Becks as well.ReplyCancel
The BeckhamsReplyCancel
Giselle and Tom; most recent baby born Dec 5th.ReplyCancel
meh I don't see anything wrong with this. If i had the money I would do it. Right now I'm trying to get pregant using the shettles method to increase the chances of a boy.ReplyCancel
It's happening in China already. As boys are preferred and they're only allowed one child each, all the young men now coming into adulthood have no young women to date, marry and make more babies with. It wasn't very well thought out 20 years ago, but now it's just stupid because we're seeing the consequences! Finlay's right, leave it to nature.ReplyCancel
I'm going with Posh as well, my reasoning being that she's admitted she has PCOS, a condition that leaves most women unable to get pregnant without some degree of help from a Reproductive Endocrinologist (aka fertility doctor).
Let's say she's already having to go through an Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) or IVF to even get pregnant, a quick spin of the sperm for $3000 to get that girl she always wanted wouldn't be too hard to imagine. The only surprise for me is that she didn't do it sooner.ReplyCancel
it's not like a whole lot of people are doing this, for pete sake. IF someone does the most reliable method, it's essentially IVF and i'm sure, very expensive.
gender selection has its place—-for people who don't want a genetic defect passed on. if you had a child with a lethal or debilitating genetic defect, this could prevent you from having another one. i see nothing wrong with that.ReplyCancel
i always think about that and how stupid they are to abort the girls and want families to only have boys. you're right it wasn't planned out very well…i think the rest of the world could tell that it was a stupid thing to do but nope not China they couldn't see that years from now there would be no girls for the boys to marry and have kids with.ReplyCancel
@Cee Kay – and it's not like in China they are gender selecting basis sperms and embryo – they abandon or, even worse, kill the female newborn..
So maybe doing something in the lab is a tad more humane?
beside [and now I am joking] it's probably best if China slows down their growth rate! so Hurray for all those Chinese bachelors!ReplyCancel
@Jennifer Hansen – well, maybe the world can tell how stupid it is.. however people who are aware of how Chinese culture and society works, can easily understand [even though not condone] why this happens.
China allows families to register only one child. This means they can have more children, if they want, but their birth cannot be registered, i.e. no health care, schools etc will be provided.
Families in the country side are allowed two children because they need help working the land.
Now society comes into play. In China, when a woman gets married, she join your husband's family in all aspects and you work and support his family. She is expected to take care of her in laws until their death, with much lesser support to her real parents.
So, in a country where there is no real pension and you need to look ahead and ensure someone will take care of you when you are old and rickety, can you really be so quick to judge why so many families take these terrible decisions?
I really do not condone it, but it would be nice if we all could try and understand what lies behind such terrible choices
Giselle & Brady just had a girl this morning.ReplyCancel
Posh! Back when she was pregnant it was rumored that she would have this option in the US because it's not legal in the UK for most pregnancies. I didn't think it was a secret either. I used to read the DM (I got bored with it) but I couldn't believe the amount of fuss over the Beckhams.ReplyCancel
Oh hey Reese what's up? lol
Reese is very very type A.Wouldn't surprise me if this was her and Jim.ReplyCancel
If a couple do this to have the family they want then what is so wrong with that?
As long as the child is wanted and loved then good for them.
This is most likely Posh and Becks. Good for them.
Gisele was interviewed for the follow up documentary More of the Business of Being Born. Her approach was to have a natural birth, so I doubt she would have an unnatural conception.ReplyCancel
The Beckham's….
Don't agree with gender selection.ReplyCancel

Or so I thought.
After putting this device together (it took about 10 minutes) and testing it out on my own back (loving the way it stretched my lower back)... I decided to dive back into the package they sent and see if they could actually PROVE what they were claiming it could do.
Turns out...
Take a look at this weird little device I received...
Introducing: The Scientifically PROVEN Lower Back
|Many people who use the Nubax®
experience relief within the first week!
It's Less Expensive Than Other Solutions - As you'll see later on, the Nubax® Trio can save you about 90% of the price you'd pay if you got the same treatment from your local chiropractor. And in the rough economic times we're in today... I'm sure you'll appreciate that!
81% Success Rate For Eliminating Pain - Traction therapy, the practice of lengthening the spine (AKA - Spinal Decompression) has been proven to help reduce or even eliminate back pain.
In a study published by the American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation in 1999... it was found that 81% of those with mild to moderately severe pain found symptomatic relief with traction therapy.
It Takes Just 3-6 Minutes Per Day - Instead of wasting 1-2 hours every week (being conservative) driving to your local chiropractor or physical therapist for treatment... with the Nubax® all that's required is 3-6 minutes per day of leaning over and relaxing.
... keep reading to discover the clinical study done with the actual Nubax® itself... showing a 100% improvement in physical function, pain and stiffness... in just 3 weeks - without ever leaving the comfort of your own home.
I realize that sounds almost "too good to be true" (I thought so at first too) so let me explain how it works.
*Free shipping U.S. only - excludes Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico. To order from these states please call 1-800-216-4908.
Also includes a 90-Day Money Back Guarantee and 1 Year Manufacturer Warranty.
Imagine a dried up sponge.
It's hard, inflexible and even slightly brittle.
Now imagine pouring a glass of water over the top of that sponge. Visualize the sponge filling up with water as it expands and becomes softer, more flexible and... well... more "spongy".
This is exactly what your spine is doing every single day.
can add YEARS to the longevity of your spinal discs!
You see... as you live your everyday life... gravity is literally squeezing water out of your discs - much like what happens if you slowly apply pressure to a wet sponge between your hands.
As more and more pressure is applied to your discs (through walking, gravity, and other everyday activities) - less and less water can flow through and apply the "sponge-like" effect to your discs.
Without that water... your discs get thinner and thinner... causing pressure, pain and stiffness in your spine.
And as you've experienced first-hand... it hurts!
Without water in your discs to help absorb the pressure on your spine caused by gravity as well as normal wear-and-tear on your body each day... you begin experiencing the pain you're probably feeling as you read this right now.
... as we age our bodies become less able to fill our discs with that necessary "cushioning-water" - which is one of the main reasons your back is killing you.
Here's the great news.
The Nubax® eliminates that problem.
As you lean forward in the Nubax®... it decompresses and stretches your spine, creating a separation in your vertebrae, relieving pressure on your spinal discs and nerves.
|Within just seconds on the Nubax®, you'll feel the best stretch in your back you've ever felt!
The separation allows nutrient-rich fluid to circulate within the vertebrae (which your body then uses to heal itself) and allows your discs to "re-absorb" the water gravity is sucking out of them - as we just talked about.
My guess is... you've already "TRIED" to stretch in this exact same way by yourself.
Think about it.
What do YOU do when your lower back hurts?
The natural tendency is to bend at the waist and lean over, trying to stretch your back and get relief, like the picture to the left.
However... as you've seen with your own eyes when trying to do this - it's virtually impossible to get the stretch you're looking for becuase of the way your body is built.
That's where the Nubax® takes over... allowing you to FINALLY discover...
Because of the unique way in which the Nubax® lengthens and decompresses your spine... you'll experience relief in 2 different ways.
Short-Term Relief - One of the biggest causes of back pain and sciatica is the combination of excess pressure on the discs (spinal compression), dehydration and mineral and other nutritional deficiencies. Over time our muscles get so tight that the pressure on the discs remains constant and this leads to an early deterioration of the discs and issues like bulging and herniated discs.
Through it's unique stretching effect, the Nubax® creates a negative vacuum in your spine... creating just enough pressure to "suck" your disc back into the spot it SHOULD be in, which pulls the disc off the nerve and relieves your pain - sometimes instantly (eliminating the pain instantly doesn't happen often...however it DOES happen... I've seen it with my own eyes).
Long-Term Relief - That same negative vacuum in your spine allows nutrient-rich fluid to shoot back into your discs and around your spine like a slingshot. Gravity normally squeezes this fluid out of your discs throughout the course of the day...
... and when the Nubax® stretches and decompresses the spine, it allows more space between your discs... allowing a flurry of water and nutrients to enter the disc (bringing you pain relief thanks to the "cushioning" effect of water in your discs)
I can't claim this is the "only" treatment you'll need to keep your back healthy and pain-free for the rest of your life, since back pain is always caused by a combination of underlying causes like muscle imbalances, trigger points, nutritional deficiencies and excess negative emotions and stress.
However you should know this:
The Nubax® is something I personally recommend everyone should use (even those without back pain)... due to its amazing ability to heal and strengthen the spine over the long term.
In fact... in my opinion...
... the Nubax® is just as important to your back health as fish oils and exercise are to your heart!
It's not something you "should" do... it's something you "must" do to create and maintain a healthy, pain-free back.
Here's the best part.
As you can see there are 3 quick and easy steps to relieving your back pain.
Simply kneel into the Nubax®... clip in the waist belt... then lean forward and relax for 1-3 minutes!
- Kneel in to the Nubax®
- Clip in the waist belt and grip the handles
- Allow your body to lean forward. Hold this position for just 1-3 minutes a few times per day and watch your back pain slowly fade away over time.
This device is so easy to use we have a 83-year-old customer using it daily... who loves it.
And if you're worried about your knees or hips... don't be!
A 69 year old customer of ours with BOTH knees replaced simply puts a thick pillow under his knees. Other users who have trouble getting up off the floor say they are now using the device in their beds.
Bottom line: Don't let excuses stop you from experiencing relief!
Before I ever recommend a product to my customers and clients... I gather my team of experts to put the product under the microscope to be 100% certain it's perfect for our customers.

Remember the scientific study I mentioned earlier which blew my mind and finally convinced me that the Nubax® was the "real deal"?
This is it.
After all... I'm sure you've been "duped" into buying something that didn't work.
I know I have!
Knowing this... the School of Sport Science, Exercise & Health in Western Australia conducted a study to scientifically PROVE the effectiveness of the Nubax® machine.
Here are the results they found.
In the first 3 weeks, the participants noticed a 100% improvement in physical function, stiffness and pain as a whole.
Plus... when only looking at "physical function" by itself (e.g. the ability to move your body)... they enjoyed a 350% increase in physical function in just 3 weeks of using the Nubax®.
Excited so far?
It gets even better.
After just 6 weeks of using the Nubax®... they experienced an increase of 143.75% in overall improvement!
Imagine just 3 short weeks from now as YOUR back pain, stiffness and physical function improves by 100%, allowing you to finally get back to the things you LOVE to do, but have too much pain to do now.
Things like playing your favorite sports with friends...
... hobbies such as gardening or traveling...
.... playing with your children and/or grandchildren...
... or even just hanging out with friends!
I understand you're still skeptical.
After all, if you're like most of my customers you've "been through the ringer" and have been disappointed with nearly every other back pain-relieving method you've ever tried.
We now have THOUSANDS of ecstatic Nubax® customers… and regularly get rave reviews and comments on how it has helped their backs. Here's just a small handful of the many enthusiastic testimonials we've received…

"After 27 years of a hard international cycling career on the road, velodrome and dirt, a herniated L5, S1 disc finally took me off the bike. The Nubax® Trio got me back on! I have at last found a way of keeping my back in shape allowing me to do what I need to do that is the every day things in my life.

Before I reveal exactly how much it is to reserve your Nubax® today, let me show you the 3 options you have.
(Click Here To Reserve Your Nubax® Now!)
All 3 of these options will help reduce or even eliminate your back pain, however...
...I'd like you to take a look at all 3 options and decide for yourself which is the best option for you.
Option #1: Back Surgery (AKA "going under the knife") - Back surgery is scary, dangerous and expensive.
Worse yet, it's not as effective as you may think. So many complications can arise after back surgery... they've developed a specific term for patients who have persistent pain after surgery or other surgical interventions.
It's called "Failed Back Surgery Syndrome"... and it affects 10% to 40% of people who have some type of lumbar spine surgery!
Let me ask you... do you want to put yourself through the stress and trauma or spinal surgery - and then have a chance of ending up with permanent damage?
Option #2: The DRX 9000 Or Vax-D - This is something your chiropractor will most likely suggest to help alleviate your pain. It works the exact same way as the Nubax® using traction therapy (AKA decompression or lengthening the spine)... however there is one "tiny" little drawback.
The average cost is usually somewhere between $2,000 - $4,000 over a 3-6 month period (yikes!) and once those treatments are over... you receive no extra treatment and no further pain relief.
In other words... you're paying roughly $2,000 - $4,000 or so (depends on where you live, your doctor, etc.)... for about 6 months worth of pain relief. Plus you'll be required to spend 2-4 days per week at your chiropractors!
Sound like fun to you? It sure as heck doesn't to me!
Option #3: The Nubax® - This allows YOU to be in control of the amount of stretch you want (the DRX 9000 and Vax-D can't)...
.... how often you'd like to use it (you determine how often you want to use it and how long you want each session to last...we recommend 1-3 times per day for 1-3 minutes)...
.... and is completely safe as long as you use it correctly (as you know... surgery is dangerous).
Plus... you aren't require to invest an arm and a leg just to find relief!
So exactly how much does it cost to reserve your Nubax® today?
Take a look at the chart below...
*Free shipping U.S. only - excludes Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico. To order from these states please call 1-800-216-4908.
Also includes a 90-Day Money Back Guarantee and 1 Year Manufacturer Warranty.
Unfortunately, the Nubax® is so popular and so efficient at relieving back pain...they sell out faster than a bottle of ice-cold water in the Sahara Desert.
Please understand... this is NOT some type of low-life "marketing ploy."
Our manufacturers work their fingers bloody trying to keep up with the demand and when we run out - sometimes we can't get another shipment of them in for weeks at a time.
And considering we have literally hundreds of people visiting this page every single day... our current inventory won't last very long.
So if you're even remotely interested... you need to reserve your Nubax® TODAY... before they run out. Just click any of the big, happy orange buttons on this page to guarantee yours immediately.
Besides, why would you choose to live with your back pain longer than you have to? If you decide to "think about it" and come back a few days later... odds are you may not get another chance for a few weeks.
So instead of getting relief from back pain in the next few days - you'll have to live with the pain (which may very well worsen if you don't take care of it now) for WEEKS!
I understand you've probably tried everything under the sun and have yet to find relief from your nagging back pain. That's why I'm willing to give you a guarantee you can't pass up.
Take a full 90 days to see if you're part of the 81% of people who experience back pain relief by using the Nubax® and decompressing your spine for just 3-6 minutes a day.
And if for some reason you don't think it's a better option than dangerous surgery or expensive chiropractic machines... simply send it back and you'll receive a prompt, courteous refund of your purchase price (minus shipping and restocking fee).
#1: Takes Just 3-6 Minutes Per Day - This is the "easiest" way to get back pain relief I've ever come across. Simply kneel into the Nubax®, lean forward and allow your spine to stretch. Hold that stretch for 1-3 minutes a few times per day. That's it!
No drugs, no surgeries, no bank-emptying bills from your doctor.
#2: No Strain On Your Joints - The Nubax® requires very little effort on your part, and puts virtually no strain on other joints in your body. Many people who've tried other options such as the Inversion Table often complain about joint strain. When you begin using the Nubax® you'll never have to worry about that again!
#3: Less Frequent Chiropractor Visits - Chiropractor visits are great at reducing subluxations and re-aligning you spine, however…
The Nubax® does the same thing - WITHOUT the need to jump in your car... drive 10-30 minutes... sit in the waiting room for another 15 minutes... spend 15 minutes in the room getting adjusted... paying your ridiculous co-pay (like you're not already paying too much for lousy health insurance?)... then driving home another 10-30 minutes.
Who in their right mind would want to continue wasting 1-2 hours going to the chiropractor when you can spend just a few short minutes (in the comfort of your own home) on the Nubax® and experience similar results?
"I dreaded the thought of travelling around Australia as my husband usually visited his chiropractor every 2 to 3 weeks so as to keep him mobile.
After using a hired Nubax®Trio for one month, we purchased one. We have now been on the road for 6 months — the Nubax®Trio travels with us."
- Lois Pass
#4: Is Perfectly Safe For Those With High Blood Pressure And Diabetes - Another downfall of an Inversion Table is people with high blood pressure, diabetes and many other conditions either have a hard time using it... or can't. With the Nubax® there are very few health condition limitations (see the FAQ below for more details).
#5: It's Small And Lightweight - Weighing in at just 16 pounds with the ability to fold and store under your bed... the Nubax® can be carried and moved by virtually anybody and takes up just a few tiny feet of space!
#6: Resume Your Favorite Activities Again - If you're like many of my customers and clients, you're frustrated that you can't golf, go bowling, do fun activities with your family, or hardly anything else involving any kind of physical motion. Once you begin using the Nubax® you'll finally be able to do your favorite activities again...
... and get your life back to how it was before your back pain!
"I am 67 years of age. I have been a bowler for approximately 11 years and have suffered from constant lower back pain for quite a number of years.
I recommend the Nubax®Trio to anybody with back problems, especially to all throw bowlers out there who don't admit it but do suffer from back pain. I would like to thank all those at Nubax® for their assistance and this wonderful invention."
- Lindsey Woodland
#7: Work Without Distractions - In today's economy, you can't afford anything that may jeopardize your job. Yet when you're living your day in a fog from medication or overwhelming pain... you can't perform your job as well as you should - and people notice. Imagine how much better and more efficient you'll work once you feel comfortable all day, instead of working for 8 hours in pain!
#8: Provides Fast, Sometimes Instant Relief - One of the near miraculous aspects of the Nubax® is that in some cases, you can get instant relief. I've personally seen people hardly able to walk up to the Nubax®... use it for just a few minutes... and stand up feeling 90-100% relief from their back pain.
#9: Provides Long-Term Benefits And Overall Spine Health - Because of what happens as your spine decompresses (nutrient-rich fluids are "sucked" into your discs, re-cushioning your discs with extra water, and relieving the pressure caused by gravity)... your back pain naturally fades away into the background... leaving you more energetic, happier and free to do the things you want to do, not what your back allows you to do...
#10: Gives Relief Without Harmful Drugs Or Surgery - Harmful anti-inflammatory drugs cause long-term damage you may not even know about... and risky surgery may leave you with MORE agony if something goes wrong... and even if it goes right - may NOT be a permanent solution!
"I was in terrific pain in the lower back and legs, visiting the chiropractor and having deep muscle massages regularly and taking anti-inflammatories to help relieve the pain.
I received my Nubax®Trio just before last Christmas and immediately started using it and since that time I have not looked back.
I am a new me, I don't rely on pain killers anymore and am able to go shopping by myself and push my trolley around - all without pain!"
- Colleen Wildman
#11: Clinically Proven To Work - In a clinical study conducted by The School of Sport Science, Exercise & Health in Western Australia... researchers found that participants improved their overall physical function, stiffness and pain reduction by 100% in just 3 weeks... and 147% in just 6 short weeks!
#12: Stop Feeling Miserable - Let's face it... chronic back pain is not a pleasant experience and often leaves you grumpy, miserable and upset. After all, you're in constant pain and can't do the things you love anymore, so why wouldn't you be miserable?
#13: It Feels Great - As you kneel down and stretch your back, you'll feel a slight pulling and stretching sensation that, if you don't push "too" hard, actually feels terrific. Plus, you'll know that your back is healing and getting better!
#14: Sleep Through The Night In Peace - Imagine how amazing your days will go when you sleep peacefully through the night... then wake up in the morning and hop out of bed like a spring chicken instead of squirming awkwardly out of bed!
#15: Reduce Shrinking As You Age! - Height reduction (AKA - "shrinking") as you age is an embarassing yet undeniable fact. As you begin using the Nubax® daily and take the gravitational pressure off your spine, allowing it to rebuild itself and maintain its strength... it slows down the "shrinking" process and helps prevent the infamous "hump" you commonly see in elderly folks.
"19 years ago I had a car accident that left me with Lumbar disc herniation.
Since I have been using the Nubax®apparatus, I haven't needed any chemical pain relief.
No more long drives to see a chiropractor. The savings in time and money were immediate.
The Nubax®apparatus is a total management plan."
- Wendy Harrison-Hazel
#16 - We Only Have Limited Quantities Left - The Nubax® has become so popular... we literally can't keep up with the demand.
Considering the Nubax® saves you money, time, and aggravation WHILE relieving your pain... you can imagine why these sell out so fast.
Worse yet, when we're sold out... sometimes we can't get new shipments in from our manufacturer for WEEKS at a time...
... so if you don't reserve yours today I can't guarantee you'll have another chance tomorrow - or even later on today!
#17: No More Huge Bills - The other 2 options you have (expensive machines or surgery) each cost about 10x more than the Nubax®... are more of a hassle... and may even give you permanent damage if not done perfectly.
Why take that risk?
Save your money and use it on your new "pain-free" lifestyle instead!
Yes, Jesse! Please Reserve My Nubax® Before You Run Out!
I can't wait to receive the following at my doorstep, which I will promptly begin using to discover what it's like to have my life back again...
I understand that I have a full 90 days to test-drive the Nubax® and if I don't believe it's a better option than drugs, surgery or expensive machines... I can send it back for a prompt refund(minus shipping and restocking fee).
For questions or to order via telephone...simply call our toll-free number at 1-800-216-4908and one of our happy, friendly customer service reps will be happy to help reserve your Nubax® for you immediately!
It's decision-making time.
Right now, you have 3 options.
Your first option is simply doing "nothing." This takes you down a torturous road of pain, frustration and embarrassment as you try and "deal" with your pain instead of banishing it and getting your life back.
Your second option is taking the advice of your doctor. They'll either ask you to prepare for back surgery... ... pump you full of harmful drugs... or ask you to pony up a few thousand bucks to use the "DRX 9000" or the "Vax-D" (which do the same thing as the Nubax®... for 10x the price)
The third option is reserving your Nubax® today for a low 1-time payment of $299 or 3 payments of just $109.67... and experiencing both short-term as well as long-term back pain relief.
You'll wake up each morning feeling refreshed as you sleep soundly like a baby through each night...
... having the ability to finally perform the activities you love (golf, swimming, biking, bowling, playing with your children or grandchildren, etc.)...
... and remembering what it feels like to have a young, energetic, flexible and pain-free body!
Which one would YOU rather choose?
I trust you'll make the right decision in choosing to give the Nubax® a try.
Remember, the Nubax® is scientifically proven to work. However, some problems need more immediate and direct attention.
So if for any reason the Nubax® doesn't work for you…
... you're backed by my 90-Day Money Back Guarantee.
All I ask in return is that when it DOES work - you send us back your success story showing everyone else how much it helped you!
To yours in health,
Jesse Cannone CFT, CPRS, CSPN
P.S. Don't take a chance on dealing with more frustrating back pain, harmful drugs, surgery... or wasting your money on something that costs more than 10x what the Nubax® costs.
Remember, the demand is so high for the Nubax® we have a VERY hard time keeping it in stock... which means if you come back tomorrow or even later today - it very well may be sold out already and you may have to deal with several more weeks of back pain.
Do yourself a favor and reserve your Nubax® NOW... before they run out and we can't get it back in stock.
P.P.S. Sitting on the fence? Check out these videos to help solidify your decision...
P.P.P.S. Still have more questions? Below are a list of commonly asked questions that you may have as well...
is the Nubax® Trio?
How does it
By stabilizing your hips with a waist belt, and then placing the shoulder pads under your armpits as you lean forward the leverage that develops creates a very safe yet very effective form of spinal decompression from the SI Joint all the way up to T3. That is just below your shoulders yet even with your shoulder blades.
How to use the Nubax®
Step two- Now that the waist belt is resting comfortably against your pelvis, lift the handles (one in each hand) toward you and lean into the device so that your chest is up against the chest pad.
Step three- With your waist comfortably restrained, your shoulders fit snugly around the shoulder pads and your hands on the handles, allow your body to lean slowly into the stretch position. Please note that it may take some time to find the position that gives you the optimum amount of traction. Adjusting the length of the waist belt and the positioning of your knees may help you find a comfortable position.
Will the Nubax® work for me and my condition?
There are literally hundreds of back pain related conditions as well as combinations of conditions that the Nubax® can help with. I simply cannot list them all. That said, here is a short list of the most common conditions the Nubax® can help with whether one or multiple conditions are present…
Conditions It Helps Overcome And Relieve:
General Negative Body States It Helps Overcome:
Performance and Recovery:
Iím not going to list every single sport but here are the big ones...
If your sport is not listed, I want you to think about your sport and then consider if your performance will improve if your Hip, Pelvis and Spine are more Neutral, Balanced and Stable as you perform your sport or activity, just think in less than 10 minutes a day you will be a better athleteÖ
What are the benefits to spinal decompression?
As you separate the vertebrae, a negative pressure is created between each vertebra that causes the disc to get sucked back in, in some cases enough to remove contact with the nerve thus reducing or eliminating your pain.
Nubax® use allows for the re-hydration of the disc, with a gentle rocking motion.
Nubax® use allows for increased space between the vertebrae, as the disc rehydrates and the stress and tension are released from the muscle of the lower spine.
You will feel a slight pulling sensation and as you reach the more restricted areas you may even feel a slight discomfort. We suggest that you not go past your comfort level at any one treatment. Over time you will improve your range of motion. As one level releases you may feel a restriction at another level so increase intensity in a slow and controlled manner.
How often should I
use it?
We recommend you use the Nubax® 2 to 3 minutes, 1 to 3 times per day; however, everyone is different so we encourage you to experiment with all aspects of its use including Intensity, Frequency and Duration.
Remember, while there isn't just a single correct way to use the Nubax®, the DVD and handbook do offer great suggestions for best use, so please read the handbook and watch the DVD before using your Nubax®.
Should I try to loosen my spine before using the Nubax®?
How heavy is the Nubax®?
Can the Nubax® be combined with other treatments at the same time?
The Healthy Back Institute® highly recommends the use of the Nubax® with Muscle Balance Therapy. Proper nutrition and even the way you think about your condition can affect your pain and your overall health. Try implementing a strategy that works towards balance in all areas of your life for the best possible outcome.
What comes with the Nubax® Trio?
The package includes...
The Nubax® Trio - Weighing just 16 pounds so you can pick it up and store it away easily under your bed, in a closet or anywhere else with just a few feet of space... the Nubax® is your golden ticket to getting your life back for good.

Constructive on U.S. Housing
NEW YORK ( Real Money ) --
A new development is catching home buyers off guard as the spring sales season gets under way: Bidding wars are back.
From California to Florida, many buyers are increasingly competing for the same house. Unlike the bidding wars that typified the go-go years and largely reflected surging sales, today's are a result of supply shortages....
Competitive bidding in the current environment isn't producing huge price increases or leaving sellers with hefty profits, as occurred during the housing boom. Still, the bidding wars caused by tight inventory provide the latest evidence that housing demand is starting to pick up after a six-year-long slump.
An index that measures the number of contracts signed to purchase previously owned homes rose in March to its highest level in nearly two years, up 12.8% from a year ago and 4.1% from February, the National Association of Realtors reported on Thursday.
"We very much believe we've hit bottom," said Ivy Zelman, chief executive of a research firm, who was among the first to warn of a downturn seven years ago. Earlier this week, she raised her home-price forecast for the year, calling for a 1% annual gain, up from a 1% decline....
Inventory levels in many markets were at the lowest level in years. At the current pace of sales, it would take just 1.5 months to sell all the homes listed in Sacramento, Calif., and 2.4 months to sell all the homes listed in Phoenix. San Francisco and Washington, D.C., each have 3.4 months of supply, while Miami has 4.1 months of supply.
-- Nick Timiraos, " Stunned Home Buyers Find the Bidding Wars Are Back ," The Wall Street Journal (April 27, 2012)
I continue to hold to the variant view that the emerging and durable recovery in the U.S. housing market will be one of the biggest economic stories in the next 12 months (and beyond).
Too many are reacting to the bad, backward-looking Case-Shiller data. (The index has a two- to three-month lag and 30% of its transactions are distressed, so it will be under pressure for now.) Driving your car while looking in the rearview mirror is fine if the road is straight and clear, but it's not such a good idea when the road is curved and rife with obstacles. And the U.S. housing market is nothing if not a long, winding and bumpy road.
The real story is that the U.S. home market is now bifurcated (historically, a signal of a nascent recovery), stress pricing has stabilized, new-home prices are going up and so are existing-home prices (none distressed). As The Wall Street Journal article above indicates, inventory is being cleared.

A new medical study on being overweight finds some bizarre results. It turns out having a few extra pounds may tack on a few additional years to a person's life.
The study in the Journal of the American Medical Association analyzed body mass index. Researchers say the excess fat may provide needed energy reserves to fight off certain illnesses and help in recovery from traumatic injuries.
A local dietitian says this shouldn't cause a dramatic change in a healthy person's lifestyle. "Clearly not saying those that are at a normal weight should gain weight to be healthy, it's not saying that, it's also kind of giving those that are in the overweight category that maybe they don't have to strive to get to a lower weight if it's not comfortable for them," said Gundersen Lutheran Registered Dietitian Andrea Erickson.
Erickson also says it's important to talk to your doctor about what is a healthy weight. The authors of the study say while being overweight may help, being obese is significantly more likely to lead to a premature death.

YPF Donor Profile: Brian Connolly
He knew he was hooked on the world of the wolf when one February day in 2002, he found himself on a windy hill in Yellowstone, twenty below zero, with his spotting scope set on two wolves bedded on the snow across the valley near Crystal Creek. He thought to himself, "it just doesn't get better than this." Avid wolf watcher, author, and longtime Yellowstone Park Foundation (YPF) supporter Brian Connolly talks about why he has made Yellowstone a priority in his life.
"The initial draw to Yellowstone was to find and observe wolves in the wild," said Connolly. "Then the draw was to understand the predator and his long standing relationship to his prey. Soon it became obvious that in order to understand the wolf, the entire ecosystem needed to be studied. The need to know just kept drawing me deeper."
Connolly, who has been watching Yellowstone wolves since 1997, now spends three months each summer, and one month each winter, helping field biologists spot wolves and report wolf behavior in the park.
"We hear the phrase 'food web', but with the wolf back in the park, we see that 'web' in action and understand better how all things are connected," said Connolly.
A native of Pennsylvania, now living in Oregon, Connolly made his first donation to the Yellowstone Park Foundation in 2004, when he discovered that YPF supported the Wolf Project.
"It seems to me we mostly fear those things we do not understand. Scientific research, like that conducted by the Wolf Project, chips away at hundreds of years of misunderstanding the wolf," said Connolly.
Since his initial donation, he has contributed every year, and hopes that by sharing his story and his writing, others will be inspired to support YPF.
"I learned that YPF supports a host of other efforts in the Park. Chief among them are the outdoor education programs for young people. As a former Project Adventure English teacher, I know the transformative effects that wild places can have on the young. They emerge from the wild with more confidence, self-respect, and respect for the land and its inhabitants. Now, as the world becomes more man-made, more virtual, the need for exploring and understanding wild places becomes even more acute."
In 2011, Connolly wrote a moving essay (see excerpt below), Arlie and Papa in Yellowstone, about his trip to the park with his grandson, Arlie. It is obvious from this essay, as well as his teaching work, that passing along a love of Yellowstone and wilderness is of great importance to him.
"I think if Arlie stays close to Nature, all of the other values will fall into place. It is in wild places like Yellowstone that he will learn to respect and care for the planet, and that there are no parts of Nature that we can afford to throw away. He will benefit spiritually by allowing the beauty of the natural world to be part of his life."
By Brian Connolly
The most difficult part of the cancer diagnosis in April of 2011 was telling my grandson Arlie that we would have to postpone our Yellowstone trip. For two years this little guy, now five, practiced using the high powered scope I had set up in my living room. Standing on a short step ladder, he honed his skill on chipmunks and chickadees. In the Deschutes National Forest near Bend, Oregon where we live, he learned to read tracks and identify scat.

Due to personal schedule conflicts, I will not be racing this weekend, so I would like to wish all who will be competing good luck and be safe.

Artificial Sweeteners: Is Aspartame Safe?
Note: This was originally published as a "SkepDoc" column in Skeptic magazine under the title "Aspartame: Safe Sweetener or Perilous Poison?" and is reprinted here with the kind permission of Michael Shermer. There are other artificial sweeteners not specifically addressed here, but as far as I know there are no convincing health concerns about any of them, just this same kind of hype and fearmongering based on animal studies and speculation with no validation from human clinical studies.
Aspartame is a low calorie sugar substitute marketed under brand names like Equal and Nutrasweet. It is a combination of two amino acids: L-aspartic acid and L-phenylalanine. It is available as individual packets for adding to foods and it is a component of many diet soft drinks and other reduced-calorie foods. Depending on who you listen to, it is either a safe aid to weight loss and diabetes control or it is evil incarnate, a deadly poison that is devastating the health of consumers.
A reader sent me an ad from his local newspaper that recommended using stevia instead of aspartame and made these startling claims about aspartame:
- It is derived from the excrement of genetically modified E. coli bacteria
- Upon ingestion, it breaks down into aspartic acid, phenylalanine, methanol, formaldehyde, and formic acid.
- It accounts for over 75% of the adverse reactions to food additives reported to the FDA each year including seizures, migraines, dizzinesss, nausea, muscle spasms, weight gain, depression, fatigue, irritability, heart palpitations, breathing difficulties, anxiety, tinnitus, schizophrenia and death.
Let's look at those claims one by one.

How to Grow
Direct sow after last frost. Or, sow indoors 4-6 weeks earlier, then transplant into average garden soil in a mostly sunny location. Too much fertility may result in more foliage and fewer blooms. Gift Zinnia is a robust plant, growing to 36-48" tall. Pinch off spent flower heads for continued blooming until frost, or let some go to seed to save for next season.

BURGETT H. MOONEY, JR. ROME CLASSICCoosa Country ClubRome, GeorgiaAugust 2-5, 2004 NORTHCUTT CLIMBS TO LEAD ENTERING FINAL ROUNDGeorgia native Adyorough takes Girls Division lead
ROME, Ga. â Rising senior Glenn Northcutt of Dothan, Ala., did just that on Wednesday, rising to the top of the leaderboard after firing a 4-under-par 66 in the second round of the Burgett H. Mooney, Jr. Rome Classic for a tournament total of 6-under-par 134. In the Girls Division, Jennifer Adyorough of Atlanta, was the only girl under par on Wednesday, carding a 2-under-par 70 for a tournament total of 143.Conducted by the American Junior Golf Association, the Burgett H. Mooney, Jr. Rome Classic features 99 players, 75 boys and 24 girls, ages 13-18 from 13 states. Forty-seven juniors hail from the host state of Georgia. The 54-hole stroke play event is in its ninth year at Coosa Country Club. While the Boys Division par is 70, the Girls Division par for the course is 72.After finishing sixth in last yearâs Burgett H. Mooney, Jr. Rome Classic, Northcutt took advantage of moving day by sinking six birdies during his round. After going 3-under-par on the front nine, the Rolex Junior All-American recovered from bogeys on Nos. 10 and 11 by making birdie on the par-4 No. 12.âI really tried to stay focused after No. 11 and put the ball close to have a chance for birdie,â said the 17-year-old Northcutt. âIf I can hit my driver consistently well tomorrow I think Iâll be tough to beatâIâm putting extremely well right now.âFirst-round leader Ryne Fisher is tied for second place at two shots off the pace after carding a 36-36â72 on Wednesday. Playing through afternoon temperatures nearing 100 degrees, the Clarksville, Tenn., native couldnât catch the same breaks that he did during his first-round 6-under-par 64.âI got my fair share of breaks yesterday, but I couldnât get any today,â said Fisher, who had two birdies and two bogeys on the day. âWeâre all going to have to go low tomorrow to catch Glennâheâs a great player.âAfter firing 66 and 69 respectively, Hudson Swafford of Tallahassee, Fla., and Samuel Kim of Cerritos Calif., are tied with Fisher in second place. Zack Sucher of Mobile, Ala., sits three shots back of the lead at 69-68â137.Adyoroughâs 35-35â70 earns her a two-stroke advantage heading into Thursday. The 2004 Nike Golf Junior at Jacksonville champion made four birdies on the day including back-to-back birdies on Nos. 9 and 10.âIâm just trying to play par golf and when I get the opportunity to make birdies, I have to make sure I make them,â the 15-year-old rising sophomore said. âIâm going to play tomorrow like it was the first day of the tournament and hope I can shoot under par.âTwo shots back of Adyorough are first-round leader Joy Kim of Lawrenceville, Ga., and Alina Lee of Evans, Ga., at 145. Lee fired a par-72 on Wednesday, hitting every fairway and 14 greens on the day. She credits her ball striking ability as the key to her 16 pars during round two.âI think I could have played better todayâI had five birdie putts lip out,â said the 14-year-old Lee. âMy ball striking made up for my missed putts though, and I think I put myself in a good position for tomorrow.âThe American Junior Golf Association is a 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization dedicated to the overall growth and development of young men and women who aspire to earn college golf scholarships through competitive junior golf.

Hello All,
I came across this phrase in The Professor and the Madman:
"The british papers, always eager to vent editorial spleen on their transatlantic rivals made hay with this particular aspect of the story."
What does it mean "to make hay" and where'd the phrase come from?

Ah that's easy -
the expression is "make hay while the sun shines" - ie. make the most of whatever is coming your way, whether it be sunshine, money, good health ...
Origin: I'm sure someone knows better but I would think it has an agricultural literal origin.

Yes indeed, Jo, it has an agricultural origin. Speaking
as a resident of a state full of farmland, plus personal
experience on my uncle's farm in Tennessee, I can tell you
that the farmer has to get the hay harvested and
into the barn while it is completely dry. If it gets wet.
in will simply rot and be no good for feed or even
stall floor covering.

In pre-industrial Britain hay was stored in the field in haystacks (of 'needle in a' fame) These were not simply piles of hay but carefully constructed stacks with a thatched roof to keep the content dry and often built on platforms to keep them off the ground. Barns were used exclusively for the storage of corn (corn is a term originally meaning any grain though modern use restricts it to maize, which is not much grown in britain). The american barn appears to be a general store for lots of farm produce, equipment and livestock whereas the british barn was a careful designed building where harvested corn was stored on one side of the building, between two large opposing doors was a threshing floor where the grain was threshed from the corn (the breeze between the doors being used to winnow the chaff away) and the straw then being stored on the other side of the barn. Cattle were kept over winter in a cowhouse, sometimes called a byre, often attached or close to the straw side of the barn. It's worth noting that hay is a separate crop and is an animal feedstuff, whereas straw is a byproduct of grain cultivation and is used for animal bedding.
About as interesting as duct tape then.

Brewer also has the phrase "to make hay of something": to disorganise and throw things into confusion and disorder. Before the days of the haybaler, it was tossed around with a pitchfork before being gathered in.

Cute, Philip!
Who is Jonathen Ross?
Jo, he said 'thatched' roof--I presume with STRAW, not HAY.
Wonder if it's a mansard, or what?? ;-)

Abandonment is one of the hardest feelings a person can ever experience; it is even harder when that person is only a 5-year-old child. This is how I felt while growing up without a father and knowing that he passed away when he was 25 years old.
My father, Orlando, was a pastor in a small town in the Dominican Republic and my mother became a widow at the age of 23. I was only 6 months old.
I remember I started calling my uncle "Dad"; however, my cousins told me not to call him "Dad." They told me he was only their dad and that I did not have a dad.
At that time I experienced the feeling of abandonment and thought my father had left me. As a child I didn't understand why he wasn't there for me.
My heart became bitter at my family and friends and then I started blaming God. Yes, I felt God abandoned my mom and me.
At 5 years old I became the provider of the house, working on the streets selling corn bread. I experienced not having healthy meals, a lack of clothing, and no school supplies. I experienced the lack of hope and no more desired to accomplish my dream of becoming a recording engineer, singer and musician.
I thought that my father's death was the worst thing in life, but later learned the worst thing in life is living without a purpose, without a dream or hope.
I am sure I am not the only person that had felt abandoned. I know I am not the only person who questioned God.
As you read this, you may feel the same way. I want to tell you that God never abandons His children. He is never late, but He is never early either. Rather, He is ALWAYS there.
God will use even the abandonment feeling to make us stronger and to show us His love by using people and ministries like Compassion.
My sponsor read my story at one of the Compassion events and sponsored me. After this, I was able to believe, dream and hope again in Jesus's name. I became a recording engineer, musician and singer.
Now, I proclaim Jesus's gospel through music. Compassion was the tool God used to teach me that He never abandoned me and that He was only waiting for the perfect time to show me His love.

Ds is almost 11 mo and nures at least 10 times in 24 hrs, including druing the night (we co-sleep). He has recently upped his demand for solids. I would say he eats about 9-10 tablespoons of solids in an average day.
I have read that babies should be getting 75% of thier calories from breastmilk (kellymom) or 50% (Dr Sears) at 12 mo. I have also seen moms online say that thier baby was getting 95% from breastmilk at 12 mo. So, how the heck am I supposed to know how many calories he's getting from breastmilk or solids? How does anyone know?
I have no idea how much milk he takes at an average feeding, but just because he's nursing 10 times a day doens't mean those are all really small feeds, does it? These are feedings where I feel at least one letdown and hear him swallowing.
He makes about 4-6 wet diapers in 24 hours and has been drinking about 1 oz of water every day (from his sippy cup).
Is this ok? I guess I'm not too concerned about him weaning prematurely (it'd be pretty hard for him to drop 10 feedings all that rapidly). I just want to make sure that what he is doing is healthy.
What he eats for solids is usually something like this:
1-2 tablespoon meat (or egg yolk or beans)
3-4 tablespoons fruit and veggies
.5-1 tablespoon yogurt or cheese
The rest is carbs: rice (often brown rice), crackers, bread (whole wheat), cereals, pasta
He gets no other milk, formula, or juice. I'm not all that happy about the bulk of his solids being carbs (almost none of that is baby cereal, btw), but that is what he prefers and also what is so non-messy so it's convenient for me). I also know the yogurt/cheese is not nessacary, but he really enjoys it so I let him have some because I figure it can't hurt.
Any input would be very much apprecated.

Ode to Zack Greinke, Jon Lester, and Dice-K Matsuzaka
Over the past week, the Red Sox have been doing what they need to do to ensure themselves a spot in the playoffs (and the Rangers have been helping us out a bit). However, at the beginning of the week, we had a much bigger chance at maybe taking the division than we do at this point. If we had but swept the Royals (or even won the series), we would be in a much different position than we are now.
died what each and every Red Sox vs Yankee game is all about. It exemplified the notion of a true pitcher's duel with absolutely stellar performances by both Daisuke Matsuzaka and CC Sabathia. Sabathia stymied the Red Sox offense for seven incredible innings of one hit ball.
11 Comments
Well, I'm sure Greinke would appreciate a tribute from a Red Sox fan, if you do decide to send him your poem. As for the Royals, they're spoilers. It's what they do, and they're good at it. They are always one of the worst teams in baseball, and yet I'm always afraid to face them at the end of the season with the playoffs on the line.-Erinhttp://plunking-gomez.blogspot.com
Elizabeth – LOVE the poem! Might I suggest doing a little research, find out who the sports editor is for the KC paper.. ship it to him!!! Then watch the paper : )
I really like your passion and think you will definitely achieve those goals you have established.
So you're studying romantic poetry? Then you MUST go to see the new Jane Campion movie (she's the Australian woman who directed "The Piano" several years ago and won an Oscar). It's about Keats and the young woman he loved before he died. It's called "Bright Star" and it's got lots of poetry in it of the type that you wrote to Greinke!!! I agree about Wakefield. He looks like it hurts just to walk. I know he's a gamer and will do anything to help the team, but Dice K looked really good yesterday. He got in a couple of jams but had no trouble working out of them.
ohhh, I love the poem! And I like Buz suggestion, I hope you do try that. I think Wake should shut it off instead of hurting himself more. Is always such a pleasure reading your posts!
I was sooo devastated when Jon Lester got hit in the knee the other night. I remember hearing on the radio that Jon Lester would be the most likely starter pitcher for the first play off game. I'm glad he's okay now and he can still pitch. He and Beckett are my favorite pitchers.
I dig the ode, especially since you worked in "ethereal" — one of my favorite words. Props!
I wouldn't go so far as to say no one can defeat Greinke…though he's the closest anyone has come this year.
I'm really sorry about the game today. You guys shouldn't have gotten swept, but we've all got to go down that road sometimes. It was a good game today though.
I'm glad Dice-K seems to be recovering. He's awesome. Do you think the Sox'll give him to us for Stephen Drew?
The Royals always seem to play spoiler at the end of the season. They actually owned the Tigers down the stretch, and put thier Central hopes in dire jeopardy. At least you know the Sox will make the playoffs. There will be now Wild Card for Detroit if they can't hold on to the lowly Central.
Great poem, too.
Elizabeth, Great Ode (poem) to Greinke..think you should follow on what Buz said and send it to the paper…
Outside the Phillies Looking In
Elizabeth – Wakefield can have a limited role coming out of the bullpen and I think Byrd has earned a spot in the pen also. As painful as it is for Wake to move, he can help us tremendously on the mound. And Paul Byrd? He showed again Sunday that he can help us. As I wrote today – his role is not as a starting pitcher but as a long reliever. Delcarmen scares me and his numbers show he has gotten worse as the season has gone on. He is not someone we can depend on nor should we. The young guys? Bowden and Bard? They can be a help but I question whether they have the maturity or experience needed to be able to handle the pressure of playoff ball. Billy Wagner is the question in all of this. Can he pitch back to back games and be effective? If so – we are golden.

"Taxpayers seeking assistance should bring this year's tax package, usually received through the mail, wage and earning statements (Forms W-2) received from employers, interest statements from banks (Forms 1099), a copy of last year's federal and state tax return, if available, 1995 tax return, if available, and any other relevant information concerning income and expenses," added William Bradberry, BSC assistant professor of accounting. In 1997, BSC volunteers contributed more than 300 hours' service, assisting area residents in completing income tax returns. Bradberry and Goodman are coordinating Bluefield State's participation in this year's VITA program. "Our students enjoy the satisfaction of helping other people, and many people find this service very meaningful because it helps them to complete their tax returns in a way that's comfortable for them," Goodman concluded. Additional information may be obtained by calling Professor William Goodman, Bluefield State College, @ (304) 327-4107.
