Story Of The World History Cards
A few weeks ago, OK months, I saw these history timeline cards that coincide with The Well-Trained Mind classical education book The Story Of The World Ancient Times on the blog Satori Smiles, which you can find here. She had found them at Lizards and Ladybugs. I knew as soon as I saw them that I would be doing them too! What a great resource for us as we delve into the Story Of The World home school history!
I started the project about the time we started the Story Of The World, sometime in September. But, as any homeschooling Mama will attest, things don't always go as planned and time is a force to be reckoned with. I finally sat down and finished up this little project on Sunday. I had been cleaning out our master bedroom and this unfinished ditty was atop my bookshelf. It was time to get er' done.
I don't have a laminating machine, so it was the old fashion laminate roll that my husband had laying around to finagle. I would cut a piece to cover my cutting board, take the paper off, then lay it flat sticky side up. I then laid out as many squares as would fit leaving room at the top to hang them on the string. I then cut another piece, took that paper off, and laid the sticky side down on top of the cards.
Then it was on to cutting them out by hand. This became a less tedious process as time went on. I was able to eyeball them to mostly the same size.
This is actually quite a heft stack of timeline cards! I am hoping that seeing everything out in timeline fashion, beginning to present, will make it easier for the kids to place things in history. I think it is hard to recall such when much of history is taught to coincide with holidays at this age, instead of being sequential.
I am going to hang them on the school room wall with string and these darling mini clothes pins. I can't wait to show the kids their new little visual aids. Of course, often I get more excited about the stuff I make than they do, but hopefully these will come in handy as our studies progress through history.

But more than $84,000 in free-flowing cash seized during raids of Beeville parlors earlier this month along with piles of untouched, dust-covered "prizes"—cheap watches and stuffed animals and T-shirts—are vivid illustrations that this is a bald-faced lie, District Attorney José Aliseda emphasized last week.
"No one goes to these places to play for fuzzy animals," the DA said. "They will not go there to get a fake Rolex or a T-shirt that smells like smoke and has yellow tar film on it. … The prizes were literally yellow from the smoke and the tar and the nicotine collecting from months and years of people smoking in there."
Beeville Police Department and Bee County Sheriff's Office hit five illegal eight-liner facilities before 10 a.m. May 12, police reports show. These include the Golds Amusement center in the 600 block of North St. Mary's Street, the ABC Amusement center in the 1900 block of North St. Mary's Street, the Diamond Amusement center in the 2200 block of that same street, the Lucky One amusement center in the 800 block of South Washington Street and the Golden House Amusement center in the 600 block of West Corpus Christi Street.
A total of six employees and owners were charged with various gambling-related crimes—including promotion of gambling, possession of a gambling device and keeping a gambling place. All of those offenses are Class A misdemeanors. If convicted on any of the misdemeanors, the defendants could be fined up to $4,000, confined for a year in the county jail or both.
The DA said it is possible that all of those charged with the Class A violations could eventually face indictment on a variety of state jail felony offenses. The prosecutor said that will depend on what the Bee County Grand Jury decides.
Felony charges would include engaging in organized criminal activity, in the event that three or more possible suspects were involved in the operation and money laundering, records show. All six owners and managers arrested had been released on $1,000 bonds the day after the raid.
Customers who were in the businesses at the time of the raids were detained briefly for questioning and given citations for gambling. Those charges are Class C misdemeanors. The maximum punishment for that would be $500 fine.
Aliseda said the officers confiscated $84,500 and change from the five gaming parlors—proof that parlor employees were breaking the law by paying customers in cash.
Aliseda discussed the operation last week with a reporter from The Progress—in the aftermath of the gambling parlor busts—to explain his philosophy moving forward.
"I can tell you, their business model will not work," the DA said. "In addition to the eight-liners in Bee County, they were starting to pop up in Live Oak County with some rumblings that McMullen was next… We are going to keep an eye out on any possibility of this ever occurring again."
Aliseda said his next step is to seize the gambling properties permanently.
"I have 30 days to file a notice of seizure and notify all the owners of the property that we intend to keep this property as contraband," the DA said. "They are dark places, and a lot of money moves through these places."
The action by authorities has already discouraged a couple of other eight-liner businesses from continuing in the Bee-Live Oak-McMullen area, the DA said.
Customers and managers alike were warned early and often that this crackdown was coming, authorities said.
On April 1, Aliseda coordinated a raid at an eight-liner game room in Skidmore. Authorities seized more than $17,000 in cash, contraband and equipment used for criminal activity. They also seized the building itself as well as the land on which the illegal activities took place. The establishment owner and staff were arrested. The patrons were questioned and informed they would be appearing before a grand jury to answer more questions regarding the eight-liner business.
It was after that bust that the district attorney said as emphatically as he could: "If this doesn't stop, there are going to be consequences. I'm going to do whatever it takes... These people need to pack up and leave."
And it worked somewhat. A couple of gambling businesses moving in to the area were scared away.
But the five Beeville businesses did not heed that warning.
The procedure to take down the gambling parlors was relatively easy to follow, Aliseda said. A criminal informant managed to videotape what was happening in the parlors—particularly when the informant was paid cash for a gambling victory, which allowed authorities to get warrants from District Judge Starr Bauer and execute them against the businesses.
"There was so much money flowing through there, and they were such nasty places," he said. "I mean, you would really have to be addicted to gambling to go to those places."
The DA said the most reprehensible thing about these gambling establishments is they feed off people with addictions and limited incomes.
"Some of these people were using every penny they had—money they should have been using to pay the water bill or the light bill," he said. "The money flowing through there was unbelievable. You could make more money in a month from these places than a drug dealer, and you are feeding off addiction just like a drug dealer does."
Aliseda said he intends to trace the money used in the operation in the hope of coming up with more serious charges such as money laundering.
"It's my intention to get the manpower I need to do this right," he said. "This could evolve into very serious cases."

Sorry for interrupting the conversation
to learn C/C++ should you use a book that has the Arduino structure or use a Standard Programming language book?
Went to BN and found C++ for dummies and considered buying it until i heard westfw on the subject. I have seen books on the internet that are specifically on the subject of programming Arduino's. The book is Beginning Arduino Programming, offered from BN.com. Does it show much promise or should i pick another.

Two weeks into the 2011 NFL campaign, and there is still time for a 0-2 team to turn it around and vice versa.
Headed into this season, there were a handful of coaches who were feeling the hot seat in regards to their jobs.
After two weeks in, some have cooled a bit while others have become scalding.
It's still early, but here is the outlook of where every coach in the NFL stands from endangered to safest.

The CPUC reminds Californians to call 811 prior to any digging project in order to have underground utility lines marked.
"August 11th, or 8/11, is almost here, so this is a perfect time to remind people to be safe and call 811 prior to any digging project," said CPUC Commissioner Timothy Alan Simon, who also serves as the Chair of the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners Committee on Natural Gas. "Everyone from those digging small holes for lawn and garden projects to contractors digging up pavement need to call 811 to know what's below before they start their project in order to eliminate the risk of striking an underground utility line."
When calling 811, homeowners are connected to a local one-call center, which notifies the appropriate utility companies of the intent to dig. Within two business days (not including weekends and holidays) utilities will locate and mark, using flags or spray paint, the approximate location of their facilities that are within the designated work area. Otherwise, the utilities will provide notification that they have no facilities in that area.
Striking a single pipeline can cause injury, repair costs, fines, and inconvenient outages. Every digging project, no matter how large or small, warrants a call to 811. Installing a mailbox, putting in a fence, building a deck, and laying a patio are all examples of digging projects for which 811 should be called before starting.
The depth of utility lines can vary for a number of reasons, such as erosion, previous digging projects, and uneven surfaces. Utility lines need to be properly marked because even when digging only a few inches, the risk of striking an underground utility line still exists. Failure to call before digging results in more than 250,000 unintentional hits annually.
Visit our Consumer Information Center for more assistance. Consumers with utility complaints can call our Consumer Affairs Branch at 1-800-649-7570.

Collage Preview Page 1
Hunchdebunch on July 2, 2009
'Collage' was a very spur of the moment storyline that just popped into my head at college. (I wasn't meant to be working at the time, so I wasn't slacking off! lol) I'll put up both of the pages I ended up making that day. As for the storyline, it's incredibly vague in my head at the moment, so I can't really tell you much about it, sorry. But what I can tell you, is that the reason it is called Collage is that I drew every panel as a seperate drawing, scanned them, and collaged the page together on photoshop. After I called it Collage, I decided that maybe it should be a very divided story (maybe switching points of view between characters) and all come together at the end (rather like the process of making the pages). Anyway, I've babbled on enough now lol so, I hope you like it :)

Forty-five students will make up the third graduating class for the Early College High School. These students will graduate Saturday, May 22 from Lorain County Community College, earning both their high school diplomas and their associate of arts degrees.
Twenty of these students have been accepted at four-year universities like Case Western Reserve University, Kent State University, the University of Findlay, The Ohio State University and the Columbus School of Art and Design. Nineteen will continue their education in Allied Health and Nursing programs at LCCC and University Partnership programs. Two are planning on joining the military and four students have not yet decided what they will do.
Jordan Brown, of Lorain, has been accepted to Case Western Reserve University where he will major in Biology/Pre-Med, said that the experience in the Early College High School gave him the opportunity to go to CWRU.
"Early College High School has undoubtedly prepared me, not only for my future at Case Western Reserve University, but also my future as a young man venturing into a new chapter in my life," Brown said. "Early College has set the foundation for everything the world has to offer and will truly continue to be the base at my feet. Without this opportunity in my life, I would not be who I am or who I will become. And to Lorain County Community College and Early College High School I thank God for such an awesome blessing."
Early College High School is an opportunity for students entering the ninth grade to participate in a combined high school and college experience with the goal of earning a high school diploma and a college associate's degree at the same time. They must be first-generation college students.
All courses are taught on the Lorain County Community College campus and are tuition-free. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the Knowledge Works Foundation provided financial support to start the program.
"The goal of Early College High School is to increase the number of first generation college graduates and equip them with the education and experience they'll need to succeed in life," said Roslyn Valentine, Early College High School principal.
This program challenged the students, she noted. "We tell them that it will be a challenge and these students have all accepted the challenge. We are proud of all of their hard work," Valentine said.
Uland Ralston of Lorain agreed that it was a challenging opportunity.
"I had heard about Early College and I knew it would be tough. But I also knew it would be a smart decision for me to sign up," Ralston said.
"I look back on these four years as the best four years of my life, not because I made the best friends of my life or because I had the opportunity to go to college but because I'm prepared for what the world has to offer," said Ibrahim Al-Shinnawi of Elyria.
"All the hard work will all be worth it. Now that it's all over, I couldn't be more proud of myself and the others graduating with me. We made it," Ciara Gomez of Lorain.
"I am proud to say that I am the first in my family to attend college and that might not have been in my dreams if it wasn't for Early College," said Jasmine Myrick of Lorain.
Education is the key to opportunity and the Early College High School is providing the vehicle to get the education. "The ECSH students have proven for a third straight year that with the right support they will be successful," Valentine said.
Here is the complete list of 2010 Early College High School graduates:Ibrahim Al-Shinnawi, Rami Al-Shinnawi , Joyce Brumley, Emily MacMahan, Harley Moser, Tracie Sanders, Lenore Bortner, Siondra Buchanan, Caitlin Cicero, Stephanie Darmstadt, Ashley Kumroy, Antonio Maldonado, Kaley Millis, Andres Moyet, TreAna Payton, Uland Ralston, Mackdiel Rivera, Dajon Rosser, Parris Smith, Anthony Velez, Shana Walker, Kenston Ausbrook, Jennifer Baker, Jordan Brown, Nickolaus Comstock, Micayla Cook, Jeff Donald, JoAnne Echevarria, Eric Edreff, Ciara Gomez, Ganeene McCall, Crystal-Rose Meilader, John Mincy, Jasmine Myrick, Veronica Pabon, Britanny Patterson, Asia Rivers, Valerie Salcedo, Darerian Schueller, Darius Smith, Keyana Stafford, Alesha Swopes, Justine Szakal, Angelique Tyus, Kiera Wallace.

An interesting new paper published in the British Ecological Society's Journal of Applied Ecology (see here) has looked at the potential for migrating birds to spread the highly contagious H5N1 'bird flu' pathogen.
Potential spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 by wildfowl: dispersal ranges and rates determined from large-scale satellite telemetry concludes that the global spread of H5N1 by direct migration of wildfowl, whilst theoretically possible, is very unlikely as it would require a window of opportunity of only 5-15 days to coincide precisely with infected migrating birds (that are well enough to migrate and therefore unlikely to not display visible symptoms of infection), with such birds undertaking the shortest and quickest possible migration route (which wildfowl rarely do as they make frequent stops at regular staging posts).
This is the latest of several papers which support the view that the H5N1 strain is misnamed 'bird flu' as it is clearly an industrial 'poultry flu' which has the capability to spread to local wild bird populations and to humans and that migrating wild birds are not the origin or the cause of dispersal during outbreaks.
This latest research also has the ability to better understand the dispersal risk of avian-borne diseases such as West Nile Virus.

TUPELO – Tupelo has had success in tourism but it needs to focus on nighttime entertainment, according to a report unveiled Monday.
The Tupelo Convention and Visitors Bureau more than a year ago commissioned Berkeley Young of North Carolina-based Young Strategies to do a comprehensive destination research report and tourism market analysis. He presented his findings Monday at the CVB's monthly board meeting.
Young studied Tupelo's lodging industry, its CVB, its visitors and its meetings.
"The research confirms that you've been on the right track," he told the board. "Everything you've done so far has been really smart. You have the right plans in place."
He highlighted downtown, the North Gloster shopping district and Elvis-related activities as good efforts.
But, the constant negative in his surveys was the lack of evening events in Tupelo.
"Your biggest problem – y'all pull up the streets at 6 o'clock," he said.
The lack of evening activities – or the lack of awareness of them – is costing Tupelo money, he said. Visitors don't prolong their stay in town. In general, overnight travelers spend about twice as much as a daytrip traveler.
Group tour planners said they'd like to see a live theater, a working farm tour or a nighttime entertainment district.
Nighttime entertainment, Young said, doesn't have to be wild parties and alcohol-fueled craziness. He suggested posting a weekly calendar at hotels of musicians who are playing in restaurants each night. Other suggestions include Sunday night concerts on the lawn, live music jams on Tuesday nights, outdoor movies or a drive-in movie tied in with the Tupelo Automobile Museum.
He also recommended that Tupelo isolates a brand and sticks with it. He suggested combining the Elvis brand with Tupelo's small town feel and pushing a mid-century Americana image.
"You want people to tour Tupelo to see the birthplace of the King and to see legendary fun," he said. "Right now, it is more educational and not fun. You are not legendary fun right now. You need to get there."
Young will present his findings to the City Council today at a work session. He'll present them again Wednesday to tourism stakeholders. To RSVP for the sessions Wednesday, call (662) 841-6521.

A man was sentenced yesterday to 27 1/2 years in prison for an armed robbery at a Franklinton motel, but the judge dismissed charges tying him to gunfire that left one of the victims paralyzed.
A Franklin County jury convicted Peter A. Hunter, 39, of two counts of aggravated robbery on Friday night but deadlocked on charges of attempted murder, felonious assault and kidnapping.
Franklin County Common Pleas Judge Mark Serrott acquitted Hunter of the attempted-murder and assault charges yesterday, saying there wasn't enough evidence. He declared a mistrial on the kidnapping charge, but then dismissed it at the request of Assistant County Prosecutor David Zeyen.
Zeyen had said after Friday night's hung jury that he would consider retrying the case if the judge left that possibility open on all three charges.
The judge sentenced Hunter to 26 years for robbery and an additional 18 months for possession of a weapon while under disability. Hunter, who has been convicted four other times of robbery, is prohibited from carrying a gun.
Hunter was accused of going with Derrick E. Wade, 44, to the Travelodge on W. Broad Street near I-70 to sell drugs to a couple on March 23. The meeting turned violent, and Wade shot Danny Lowe III, 24, during a struggle.
Lowe's girlfriend, Jessica Devore, and their 4-year-old son were unhurt but terrorized, Devore said in court yesterday. Weeping, she told Serrott that Hunter's greed left Lowe a quadriplegic.
"He can't do nothing," she said. "Things will never be the same."
Zeyen had told Serrott there was enough evidence to retry Hunter on the attempted-murder and assault charges because "he is in lockstep with his co-defendant." Wade pleaded guilty and is to be sentenced on Thursday.
However, defense attorney Robert Essex said the jury's inability to reach a verdict showed that prosecutors had over-reached by indicting Hunter on those charges.
"There's just not enough proof," Serrott agreed before entering the judgments of acquittal.
Hunter told the judge he was sorry and that he never meant for anyone to get hurt. But the judge said a long sentence was warranted because of the crime's impact and Hunter's criminal history.
"The only gaps in his record are when he was in prison," Zeyen said.

Comprehensive DescriptionRead full entry
DescriptionThallus erect growing from stoloniferous holdfast with a short stipe expanding into a fan-shaped flattened blade with parallel sides less than 4 mm wide.The blade divides dichotomously 4 or 5 times to a height of 8 cms. The apices sometimes are elongated into proliferations up to 2 cms long. Rhodymenia pseudopalmata has wider blades of 5-10 mm.


text: This grass is a summer annual about ½-1½' tall, forming a small tuft of leafy culms. These culms are erect to widely spreading and unbranched; they are light green to reddish green, terete, slender, and glabrous. There are 2-4 alternate leaves along the length of each culm; their blades are ascending to widely spreading. The leaf blades are 2-4' long and 3-5 mm. across; they are light green or grayish green, flat, and largely glabrous. The base of each blade is wider than the culm. At regular intervals along the margins of each blade, there are minute glandular droplets (may require 10x hand lens to see). The leaf sheaths are light green to dull purple and longitudinally veined; each sheath is slightly hairy above and glabrous below. At the junction of each sheath and blade, there is a conspicuous tuft of fine white hairs. Each culm terminates in a somewhat airy panicle of spikelets that is 1½-4' long and about one-half as much across; in outline, each panicle is narrowly pyramidal to ovoid. The central axis and lateral branches of each panicle are light green, slender, and glabrous. The lateral branches are widely spreading to ascending, dividing into short lateral branchlets that are divergent. At the tips of these branchlets, there are elongated spikelets about 4-10 mm. long and 1.5-2 mm. across. Immature spikelets are light grayish green to dark purple, while mature spikelets become light tan. Individual spikelets are narrowly oblongoid and flattened in shape, consisting of 5-18 florets and their overlapping lemmas (scales with florets) that are arranged in 2 columnar ranks. Each spikelet is slightly less wide at the top than the bottom. At the bottom of each spikelet, there is a pair of glumes (scales without florets). Individual glumes are about 1.5 mm. long, lanceolate in shape, glabrous, and folded along their keels; one glume is slightly longer than the other. Located above the glumes, the individual lemmas are 1.5-2.0 mm. in length. The lemmas are lanceolate-ovate in shape, glabrous, 3-veined, and folded along their keels. Hidden behind each lemma, there is a single floret and a membranous palea. The anthers of each floret are about 0.2 mm. long. The blooming period occurs from mid-summer to early fall. The florets are cross-pollinated by the wind. Fertile florets are replaced by tiny ovoid grains (up to 1 mm. long); the latter are small enough to be blown about by the wind. The shallow root system is fibrous. At favorable sites, this grass often forms colonies by reseeding itself.

By Patsy R. Brumfield/NEMS Daily Journal
OXFORD – A federal judge unsealed an embezzlement case Friday against a former Jackson-area attorney.
Last February, Vann Frederic Leonard avoided indictment by pleading guilty to a one-count federal information that stated, as an officer of the court, he stole money entrusted to his administration by a client.
An information is a criminal charge that doesn't come from a grand jury.
The case was sealed from the public Feb. 25.
Leonard agreed to avoid a trial by pleading guilty to one count that he embezzled money from a bankruptcy estate he administered.
He faces up to five years in prison and a $250,000, as well as possible restitution.
Friday, Northern Mississippi U.S. District Judge Sharion Aycock unsealed the case after Leonard's sentence hearing was not held Thursday, as scheduled.
Since last Tuesday, he's been in federal custody in the Lafayette County Detention Center.
U.S. marshals moved him from the Rankin County Jail, where he was held after serious legal problems of a similar nature.
Criminal accusations against Leonard arose in the Southern District, where a client alleged he stole $327,585 from an accident settlement after she declared bankruptcy.
The criminal and bankrutpcy cases were transferred to North Mississippi.
Leonard also was accused in a Madison County circuit court case of stealing the proceeds from a life insurance policy that should have gone to a doctor's widow and in a Rankin County estate case over $111,000 he's accused of taking.
The Mississippi Bar took possession of all his client files this past summer.
On Sept. 12, Leonard's irrevocable resignation from the Bar was accepted by the state Supreme Court.

Purpose: The study's purpose was to determine whether trunk muscle activity levels are different during spine stability exercises performed in water compared with on land.
Methods: Eleven male participants performed four abdominal trunk exercises on land and in water at the depth of the xiphoid. The exercises were abdominal hollowing, abdominal bracing, and anteroposterior and mediolateral pelvic tilts. During the exercises, surface EMG activity of muscles rectus abdominis (RA), external oblique, lower abdominals, multifidus, and erector spinae (ES) were recorded. EMG data were normalized to a maximal voluntary contraction (MVC), and the subsequent percentage of activity was compared between environments (water and land) with paired t-tests.
Results: Normalized EMG values for muscles RA, external oblique, lower abdominals, multifidus, and ES were significantly greater for all exercises performed on land than in water (P = 0.026-0.001, effect sizes = 0.52-1.61). The only exception was for mediolateral pelvic tilts where muscle ES values were not different between environments (P = 0.098).
Conclusions: When healthy adults perform abdominal hollowing, abdominal bracing, and pelvic tilt exercises in water, most trunk muscles display substantially lower EMG activity when compared with performing the same exercises on land (e.g., abdominal bracing for RA = 20% MVC for land and 10% MVC for water). It is possible that with hydrostatic pressure and buoyancy, trunk muscles play less of a stabilizing role in the aquatic environment, which minimizes their EMG activity levels. Regardless of the mechanism, patients with back pain may find it easier to perform trunk muscle exercises in an aquatic environment first then progress to the land environment because EMG activity may be gradually increased.
Exercises to improve the strength and endurance of trunk muscles are often included in fitness and rehabilitation programs because properly conditioned trunk muscles will reduce the risk of low back injuries during physical exertions (16) and allow for arm and leg movements to be performed more forcefully and accurately (6,9). Indeed, it is no surprise that a plethora of studies have been conducted to identify trunk exercises that optimize trunk muscle activity levels and patterns (21). Nearly all of these studies have been conducted on land, which is fitting given the terrestrial nature of humans. However, some populations such as those with low back pain (LBP) are more frequently being prescribed aquatic exercises (14), although there is limited knowledge regarding how the exercises influence trunk muscle activity levels.
The basic premise for prescribing aquatic exercises for LBP patients is that buoyancy will reduce spinal loads and hydrostatic pressure and temperature of water will assist with balance and pain control, respectively (29). Accordingly, patients with LBP who find it difficult to perform land-based exercises may successfully perform aquatic exercises first and then progress to more functional land-based exercises after a period. Although it would seem intuitive that aquatic-based programs would lead to improved clinical outcomes in LBP patients when compared with land-based programs, the research generally finds that both programs lead to similar results in terms of pain reduction and strength improvement (29).
It is possible that aquatic trunk exercise programs for LBP patients are not any more effective than land-based programs because the aquatic environment may suppress trunk muscle activity levels (19). A recent review article by Masumoto and Mercer (19) summarized the effect of human locomotion in water and its effect on muscle activity levels as measured by EMG. These authors concluded that lower extremity muscles were less active in water than on land when gait speeds were self-selected and when maximal voluntary contractions were performed. In all of their studies reviewed, none focused solely on trunk muscle responses between environments. Only recently have trunk muscles been examined during deep-water running and shallow-water walking (4,17,20). For example, Kaneda et al. (17) recorded EMG activity of muscles rectus abdominis (RA), external oblique, and erector spinae (ES) during deep-water running, shallow-water walking, and land walking at three self-selected speeds (slow, moderate, and fast paces). They observed greater muscle activity in the ES trunk muscle during both deep- and shallow-water walking when compared with land walking at moderate and fast paces. However, when the walking pace was slow, activity levels of muscles RA, external oblique, and ES were not different between environments suggesting that activation of the trunk muscles may not follow the same declining trend as those observed for lower extremity muscles in an aquatic environment. Whether these same observations across environments also apply to trunk exercises commonly used for patients with LBP is yet to be determined.
It would be of value to know whether trunk muscle activity levels are different during exercises performed on land and in water to better understand the potential advantages and disadvantages of aquatic programs for LBP patients. In addition, a better understanding of how trunk muscles respond to specific trunk exercises between environments will assist the physical rehabilitation specialist in deciding which environment would be most effective for their client by applying the principle of progressive overload. Accordingly, the purpose of this study was to determine whether trunk muscle activity levels are different during trunk exercises performed in water than on land in healthy adults. A secondary purpose was to assess if the findings were consistent for a single-case patient with chronic LBP.
Eleven physically active males were asked to volunteer for the experimental aspect of the study. The number of subjects chosen was calculated using SamplePower software (SPSS, Inc., Chicago, IL) and was based on an effect size of 0.25 SD (10) with an α level of 0.05 and power at 0.80. Participants were recruited from a university population via word of mouth. Participants were included in the experimental study if they were free of musculoskeletal injury and pain for the previous 12 months. We asked only males to volunteer for this initial study to minimize the effect of subcutaneous fat on EMG signal fidelity. The participants displayed the following physical characteristics (mean ± SD): age = 25.7 ± 5.53 yr, mass = 77.8 ± 16.2 kg, and height = 1.82 ± 0.06 m.
The participant for the case study aspect of the study was referred by a university athletics team doctor. The patient was a male 23 yr old (mass = 72.6 kg) who was active in recreational sports. In terms of medical history, the patient reported that he had back pain in high school but never received medical attention; his pain was intermittent. A recent episode of pain was 2 wk before testing in the laboratory where his pain was 4/10 at worst and he could not participate in normal recreational activities. Pain decreased after one visit to a physical therapist and was 2/10 at the time of testing. No gross instability of the lumbar spine was noted, but some coordination problems with the deep lumbar stabilizer muscles were present. Before taking part in the study, all participants read and signed an informed consent form approved by the university institutional review board.
Procedures and instrumentation for the experimental and case studies were identical, although the case study LBP patient did not perform maximal voluntary contraction (MVC). Participants attended a familiarization session and a testing session separated by <48 h. The experimental aspect of the study was a crossover design where the same healthy participants were tested both in water and on land. The dependent measure was normalized root mean square (RMS) values for select trunk muscles during four trunk exercises that were randomly assigned for each environment with the aquatic exercises being performed after the land exercises. By not randomizing environments, shivering due to temperature changes was minimized, and the integrity of the waterproofing adhesives was better maintained. The independent variable in the study was the environment (water and land).
During the familiarization session, participants were introduced to four trunk exercises that were performed in water and on land. The four exercises were 1) abdominal hollowing: participants assumed a standing semisquat position with their back against a wall, feet shoulder width apart, and knees bent to approximately 30°. Participants were instructed to maintain a neutral spine position and to maximally activate the abdominals while drawing the navel up and in toward the spine, holding for 5 s. 2) Abdominal bracing: in a standing neutral spine position, participants were instructed to maximally activate the abdominals without hollowing the lower abdomen and holding for 5 s. 3) Anteroposterior (AP) pelvic tilts: participants were seated in a neutral spine position on either a Swiss ball (land) or kickboard (water) that was stabilized by a tester. Participants' feet were flat on the surface, shoulder width apart, and knees were bent to 90°. Participants were instructed to tighten their abdominals and to roll their tailbone (coccyx) backward (anterior pelvic tilt) and forward (posterior pelvic tilt) for five continuous repetitions. 4) Mediolateral (ML) pelvic tilts: performed identical with AP pelvic tilts except participants were instructed to tilt their hips side to side by simultaneously dropping and lifting opposite hips. These exercises were chosen because they could be performed in both environments (water and land) using similar techniques and because they are frequently recommended for patients with LBP or spinal instability (1,22,28).
Participants performed a minimum of three sets of each exercise in water and on land during the familiarization session. More time was provided if the clinician instructing the participant felt the exercises were not being performed properly. For the AP and ML exercises, participants were instructed to move at a slow self-selected cadence, which is typical for LBP patients. Aquatic exercises were performed in a HydroWorx 2000 pool (HydroWorx 2000TM; Middletown, PA) at a water depth equal to the xiphoid process with the water temperature set to 30°C. The land exercises were performed at poolside with the air temperature set to 24°C.
During the test session, EMG activities of muscles RA, external oblique (EO), lower abdominals (LA), multifidus (MT), and ES were recorded during reference EMG tests and for each of the four exercises in water and on land. EMG signals were recorded using a pair of passive BIOPAC EL503 surface electrodes connected to BIOPAC LEAD110 leads (BIOPAC Systems, Inc., Goleta, CA). The electrode configuration included two Ag-AgCl circular electrodes with 1-cm conductive areas each. The interelectrode distance was 2 cm with each lead connected to a BIOPAC TEL110C amplifier. The system's typical common-mode rejection ratio was 110 dB, and the input impedance was 2 MΩ. A common reference electrode was placed on the skin over the acromion process. The guidelines described by Cram and Kasman (11) were followed for positioning the electrodes over muscles RA, EO, MT, and ES, whereas muscle LA location was determined using procedures described by Marshall and Murphy (18). Note the LA location of 2 cm inferior and medial to the anterior superior iliac spine is where the internal oblique muscle blends with the transversus abdominis muscle; therefore, the activity of these later two muscles cannot be separated, hence the term LA.
EMG activity from the selected muscles was recorded on the right side only. To ensure high fidelity of the EMG signals on land and particularly in water, the skin at each site was shaved, lightly abraded with sandpaper, and cleaned with rubbing alcohol before electrode placement. Because water infiltration can contaminate the EMG signal (5), careful attention was paid to waterproofing electrodes. The same waterproofing technique described by Silvers and Dolny (27) was followed, which required systematic applications of waterproof adhesive (OPSITE™ Smith and Nephew, Largo, FL) and silicone sealant (DAP, Inc., Baltimore, MD). The Silvers and Dolny (27) waterproofing technique is reportedly reliable between environments (intraclass correlation coefficients ≍ 0.97) for lower extremity muscle activation at a depth similar to the current study. The waterproofing adhesives were applied after completion of the land exercises to prevent damage to the adhesives due to sweat or excessive movements. The electrodes were not repositioned between environments, and the addition of waterproofing adhesives has shown not to influence EMG amplitudes during land exercises (8).
Once participants were prepared for EMG data recording, reference EMG data were obtained before collecting EMG data for each exercise. Participants were asked to perform dry land MVC for each muscle. For muscles RA and LA, subjects lay supine on a stable plinth with hips and knees flexed, feet flat, and secured by an assistant. Participants crossed their arms over their chest and on the command "go," attempted to maximally curl up against manual resistance. For muscle EO, the same aforementioned procedures were followed but the curl up included a twist to the right. For muscles MT and ES, subjects lay prone with feet secured by an assistant; the hands were positioned behind the head, and on the command "go," they attempted to extend at the trunk maximally against manual resistance. Each test was performed twice, and each effort was held for 5 s with a 30-s rest between repetitions.
After collecting reference MVC data, the exercises described in the familiarization session were performed. Participants performed one set of three repetitions for the abdominal hollowing and bracing exercises and five repetitions for the pelvic tilt exercises. No encouragement was provided during the exercises, and proper execution of each exercise was visually determined by the instructing clinician. If the exercise was performed incorrectly, it was repeated. Participants began each repetition on the verbal command "go." The EMG system was manually triggered before the command to record 10 s of data for each repetition between a bandwidth of 20 and 500 Hz. For all reference tests and exercises, an event marker was manually triggered before and after the completion of each repetition. EMG signals were amplified by a factor of 10,000, and the amplified signals were sampled at 1024 Hz.
To determine whether the exercises were performed similarly between environments, the instructing clinician visually reviewed sagittal plane videos of the exercises for all subjects. This inspection led to no exercises being rejected for post-EMG processing. EMG signals were then visually inspected for false components (e.g., high-frequency bursts). This inspection led to the dismissal of <1% of the original data. With the remaining data, RMS values during the middle 3 s of the EMG data collected for each repetition of the reference tests and abdominal hollowing and bracing exercises were computed. Similarly, RMS values for each repetition of the pelvic tilt exercises were computed between event markers. Next, an average RMS value over three repetitions of each exercise was computed. The average RMS value of each muscle was normalized to the average RMS value computed for each muscle's reference (MVC) test. EMG data for the case study LBP patient were simply expressed as the average RMS value (mV) and were not normalized.
The effect of environment (water and land) on mean normalized EMG values for each muscle was assessed with paired-samples t-tests. α levels of 0.05 were Bonferroni adjusted and used for all calculations to determine significance. Effect sizes were also quantified to appreciate the meaningfulness of any statistical differences. The effect sizes were calculated with the following formula: effect size = (high value − low value) / SD of high value, and the Cohen (10) convention for effect size interpretation was used (<0.41 = small, 0.41-0.7 = medium, and >0.7 = large). EMG data from the case study was descriptive.
Normalized EMG values for muscles RA, EO, LA, and MT were significantly greater for all exercises performed on land than in water (P = 0.029-0.001, effect size = 0.55-1.61; Figs. 1 and 2). Similar to the other muscles, ES values were significantly greater for all exercises performed on land than in water (P = 0.026-0.008, effect size = 0.52-0.85; Fig. 2) with the exception of ML pelvic tilts; muscle ES values were not different between environments (P = 0.098). It was observed that EMG values for the LBP patient followed the same trend as those for the healthy group. Examples of the EMG trends for the LBP patient are reported in the Table 1.
The aim of this study was to determine whether trunk muscle activity levels were different during trunk exercises performed in water than on land for healthy male adults. A case study was also included to assess if the findings were consistent for a patient with chronic LBP. It was observed that trunk exercises, such as abdominal hollowing, abdominal bracing, and pelvic tilts elicited greater EMG values for most muscles on land than in water despite replicating the exercises similarly between environments. This trend was consistent with a single-case patient with LBP.
The trend in the results of this study are in agreement with studies that observed greater lower extremity muscle activity levels during various nonspecific trunk exercises performed on land than in water (19). In comparison with studies that examined trunk muscle activity levels (4,17,20), our results are not in agreement suggesting the type of exercise performed (walking or running vs abdominal hollowing/bracing or pelvic tilts) may be an even larger factor than the environment (water vs land) for influencing trunk muscle activity levels.
Various mechanisms have been proposed to address why muscle activity levels are often lower in water than on land. For instance, Silvers and Dolny (27) have argued that inadequate methods for waterproofing electrodes may in part explain decreased EMG values in water. This contention was supported by Rainoldi et al. (26) and Carvalho et al. (8) who observed decreased EMG activity levels in water when electrodes were not covered with adhesive tape. This limitation does not likely apply to the present study because careful attention was paid to waterproofing electrodes with adhesive tape using reliable methods that reportedly prevented a decrease in EMG values in water (27).
It is also possible that with hydrostatic pressure and buoyancy, trunk muscles play less of a stabilizing role in the aquatic environment, which minimizes their EMG activity levels. This idea was proposed by Deban and Schilling (13) who observed that trunk muscle activity levels in salamanders were substantially lower during trotting in water than trotting on land. However, the influence of an aquatic environment on stabilization of the trunk may depend on the dynamics of the exercise (e.g., abdominal hollowing vs walking) because fluid resistance increases as a function of a body's relative velocity squared (15). In another work, Pöyhönen and Avela (24) have argued that EMG reductions in water may be reflex related via impulses from pressure mechanoreceptors that are disturbed over the entire body. As a body becomes immersed in water, hydrostatic pressure may stimulate mechanoreceptors whose impulses produce presynaptic inhibition with interneuron pathways. This mechanism was proposed by Pöyhönen and Avela (24) after they observed a substantial reduction in the Hoffman reflex during water immersion. Muscle temperature also influences frequency and sometimes magnitude of an EMG signal (23); however, water and land temperatures in the present study were considered thermoneutral (27), and large fluctuations in trunk muscle temperatures were unlikely because of the large mass that insulates this region of the body (23).
From a clinical perspective, the magnitudes of reduction we observed in muscle activity during aquatic exercises were meaningful on the basis of the effect sizes that ranged from moderate to high. This observation does not imply that aquatic trunk exercises are not useful for maintaining or improving neuromuscular conditioning of the trunk muscles. In fact, researchers have found that exercises that produce normalized EMG values of 25% or less are sufficient to improve motor control and endurance aspects of some trunk muscles (28) and are a level of intensity that may maximally stiffen segmental joints of the spine (12). Some have argued that when normalized EMG values exceed approximately 40%, a greater risk of joint pain or injury to the spine may occur (2,3,7). In this view, aquatic exercises may have produced more appropriate activation levels for patients with LBP because normalized EMG values in water were generally <25% (Figs. 1 and 2). In contrast, normalized EMG values on land were often >40% for the EO and LA muscles (Fig. 1). More practically, the results of this study suggest the aquatic environment may be the safest medium to begin a rehabilitation program in patients with LBP who are unable to adequately exercise the trunk muscles on land because of pain or balance issues. However, because of the substantial reduction of EMG activity in water, a patient must progress toward land-based exercises to more fully activate the trunk muscles as evidenced in Figures 1 and 2.
There are several limitations of this study that should be noted. The results are specific to the abdominal hollowing, abdominal bracing, and pelvic tilt exercises as performed in this study. Whether reduced activity is observed in other trunk muscles for other trunk exercises performed in water cannot be determined in this study. For example, the findings of Kaneda et al. (17) and others would suggest that walking or running in water will increase the activity of muscle ES when compared with similar land exercise. In addition, the results apply only to healthy young physically active males. Although our case study participant with LBP displayed a similar EMG trend to our healthy sample, the results cannot be generalized to an LBP population because various between-individual factors, such as the severity of back pain, were not represented in our sample size of one.
In regards to future research, it would be of value to explore how various other aquatic exercises influence trunk muscle activity levels. As noted in a systematic review by Waller et al. (29), there are a large number of therapeutic aquatic exercises used in the treatment of LBP, yet there is no consistency in use of the exercises between studies. The lack of consistency is likely because it is unclear which exercises are most effective at activating trunk muscles in an aquatic environment. It would also be of value to determine whether the results of this study are present after a training period. Pöyhönen et al. (25) observed that a 10-wk aquatic training program designed to improve strength in the knee extensors and flexors resulted in improved neural activation of the knee extensors, suggesting neuromuscular pathways are equally adaptable in an aquatic environment. Although a single familiarization session was included in the present study, it may be that chronic exposure to the aquatic environment will desensitize any inhibitory reflexes that are stimulated by the lack of gravity and hydrostatic pressure. This assertion obviously needs to be researched in a systematic manner; the challenge will be the methodological limitations of reliably assessing EMG between days.
In conclusion, when healthy adults perform abdominal hollowing, abdominal bracing, and pelvic tilt exercises in water, most trunk muscles display substantially lower EMG activity levels when compared with performing the same exercises on land. This trend seems to be consistent when these exercises are performed by a patient with LBP.
This study was supported by grants from the National Swimming Pool Foundation.

Blue smoke exhaust and oil consumption
Posted 26 October 2013 - 08:47 AM
I recently have been to a subaru dealer to deal with an oil consumption issue.
My issue was blue smoke exhaust and oil consumption. Subaru suggested a leak down/compression test. The test came up with 95% compression. "Leak down test shows that rings are good, oil loss due to failing head gaskets." Subaru went into engine, and replaced valves seats.
I still have the same issue! I've put 2,000 since and still using a quart of oil, with blue smoke.
Subaru suggests high mileage oil??? at 150k??
Posted 26 October 2013 - 09:30 AM
Ususlly with a subaru and excessive oil use is related tot he PCV ststem.
The PCV valve and its hoses are part of a crankcase vent on theback of the engine, with a portion of the block acting as a catch can behind the flywheel. There is what is called an oil separator plate, pr baffle plate, that is usually a cause for a leak. But if it gets gummed up with carboned oil, it can cause oil to be ingested thrut the PCV ststem
Subaru shold have know n this. Inspecting or repairing this part requires pulling the engine to service a stamped piece ov metal held on my 7 screws.
at the mileage you have, it wouldn't be a bad idea to have the servince done along with engine selas. Once again, the subaru dealer should have thought of this. Take it back and suggest this and see if they will get warranty pay the same as doing servince that is not necessary.
Posted 27 October 2013 - 07:40 PM
I appreciate the suggestion. I need all the help I can get.

Rivas, Doni Marie DO; McGerald, Genevieve DO; Reid, Patrick MD; Winslow, Jason MD; Benanti, Michael DO; Rispoli, Loretta NP
A 48‐year‐old woman presented to the emergency department complaining of a five‐ to six‐week history of persistent nasal drip, with fever and intermittent headaches for one month. She described a throbbing occipital headache radiating to the periorbital area bilaterally. She had been treated with several different antibiotics in the preceding four months for a presumptive diagnosis of sinusitis. Symptoms improved while on the medication, but then would quickly return once the antibiotic course was finished.
At presentation, the patient had a temperature of 102.0°F, and her skin was flushed and hot to the touch. She appeared uncomfortable, lying on the stretcher holding her head. Nasal congestion with surrounding erythema and clear rhinorrhea were noted. Her tympanic membranes were normal bilaterally, and her pharynx appeared normal with no tonsillar hypertrophy or exudate. Her neck was supple with no tender lymphadenopathy. Her heart maintained normal rhythm and rate, and her lungs were clear to auscultation bilaterally. She was neurologically intact. The rest of her physical exam was unremarkable.
Laboratory studies demonstrated a leukocytosis of 23.6 × 103/mcL with 89% segmented neutrophils and 6% lymphocytes. Besides an elevated alkaline phosphatase at 158, the rest of her laboratory evaluation and a CT scan of her brain were unremarkable. A lumbar puncture was attempted but unsuccessful. Ceftriaxone 2 g was given, and the patient was admitted for an MRI and fluoroscopic‐guided lumbar puncture. An MRI of the brain subsequently demonstrated a left superior ethmoid cell defect causing CSF leakage through the ethmoid sinuses. (Photo.) CSF analysis was suggestive of bacterial meningitis, but no organisms were found. She was transferred to a tertiary care facility where she was successfully treated with endoscopic endonasal repair without recurrence of symptoms.
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) fistulas can occur from traumatic and atraumatic causes. Although the occurrence of a CSF fistula is rare, traumatic causes are the most common etiology, occurring in 70 to 80 percent of cases. CSF fistulas can also occur from eroding tumors, congenital defects, ENT infections, or increased intracranial pressures such as those with pseudotumor cerebri. In any of these cases, there is a destruction or breakdown of the bony architecture resulting in a defect of the cribriform plate. Immediate action is necessary to prevent ascending meningitis, which occurs in a third of patients with CSF leaks.
Whatever the cause of a CSF leak, patients most commonly present with unilateral clear rhinorrhea, which can easily be confused for allergic rhinitis. The fluid may be tested for beta‐2 transferrin to confirm the CSF leak. The second most common presentation is active meningitis or a history of meningitis. Defects are most commonly in the sphenoid sinus and the ethmoid roof.
Management depends on etiology. If due to traumatic events, patients who present with small fistulas may be treated conservatively with head elevation, bed rest, and antibiotics. For those who do not respond to conservative management or who have large or nontraumatic fistulas, immediate surgical repair is needed. IV acetazolamide is given for those with pseudotumor cerebri to attempt to decrease intracranial pressure. A VP shunt is placed for those who present with recurring leaks or who do not respond appropriately to diuretics.
The etiology of this patient's CSF leak still remains uncertain. There was no recent trauma to suggest that a physical defect occurred. Cases of CSF leaks have been known to occur 20 years after a traumatic head injury, however, and this patient admitted to such an event 22 years previously. According to the patient, past CT scans and MRIs of the brain were negative, although small fistulas may be missed by radiological studies.
Our patient was also obese, and admitted to occasional headaches, which may also suggest pseudotumor cerebri as a cause. Our patient also had a history of sinus infections for more than four months, which also could be the source of the defect. Unfortunately, the mystery remains on whether the leak was present prior to the sinusitis causing similar symptoms. One thing, however, is certain. The multiple courses of antibiotic regimens that she received saved her life.

From our bulging "art imitates life" files...
From the Apple.com notes for the movie Charlie Bartlett, set for re-release in theatres later in February: "An optimist, a truth-teller and a fearless schemer, when Charlie slyly positions himself as his new school's resident 'psychiatrist,' dishing out both honest advice and powerful prescriptions, he has no idea the ways in which he will transform his classmates, the school principal and the potential of his own life."
The lead character, played by Anton Yelchin, obtains the prescriptions by faking symptoms to the real school psychiatrist, who, like most adults in movies of this genre, are easily duped by the teenaged hero.
The principal is played by Robert Downey, Jr. Am I the only one who sees the irony in that?

Jackson Hole, WY, Oct. 13--Long famous for its backcountry skiing, Jackson Hole Mountain Resort has made it official. After months of review, the Bridger Teton National Forest (BTNF) and Jackson Hole in collaboration with Teton County Search and Rescue, the Teton County Sheriff's office and Grand Teton National Park have reached an agreement to allow winter-season access to the backcountry through designated gates.
The open-gate policy will include six access gates from the ski area. Each gate will have extensive signage including a warning of hazards in that area, the daily Bridger Teton Backcountry Avalanche Forecast, a map of the terrain and a symbol denoting one of five internationally accepted avalanche ratings.
Nancy Hall, district ranger of the BTNF said, "The open-gate policy will operate this season under a trial basis. If we experience extensive resource demands on the Sheriff's office Search and Rescue team, this policy may revert back at any time during the season."

The Buffalo Bills and the Arizona Cardinals contest in Week 6 went into overtime, but it was the Bills that emerged victorious with an exciting 19-16 win.
The Bills were clinging to a 16-13 lead with 1:58 left in regulation when Arizona kicker Jay Feeley hit a dramatic 61-yard field goal to tied the score at 16. Feeley later missed a 38-yard field goal at the end of regulation that would have given the Cardinals the win.
Bills safety Jairus Byrd intercepted a pass from quarterback John Skelton in overtime and returned it to the Cardinals 6-yard line. The Bills then set up Rian Lindell for a 25-yard chip shot, and the Bills snapped their two-game losing vault and notched a win in overtime.
All four AFC East teams now have an identical record of 3-3, so just like that, the Bills are now tied for first place in their division. How crazy is that?

Okay to start with.. those computer devices you mention that plug in and change settings are only ggod on cars that use a PCM instead of the ECM (PCMs came out in 1994 in vettes) so that device (like the Hypertech Programmer) will not work for you.
Your 89 Corvette has a MEMCAL inserted in the Computer (ECM). Since the ECM used in your corvette is also found in several other GM cars the MEMCAL has the Program SPecific for that body style.
On the MEMCAL for the 89 there wis 3 Integrated Circuits (ICs) 2 are used when the car goes into Limp Home Mode. the 3rd is a EPROM (Erasible/Programable Read Only Memory). so basically to change the program you would need to use UV light and re-program the code into the EPROM, of Course first you would read the information out the the EPROM before erasing it.
The Main reason Many Guys will buy an Aftermarket PROM is to retain the Stock as a back-up or when they sell the car. Since it is fairly easy to replace the MEMCAL this is why most companies offer that. So yes you can Re-program the Stock CHIP.. but it is always good to have that stock one left untouched just in case.
Hope this helps.
