Figaji, Tamara; Phillips, Julie (Faculty of Community and Health Sciences, University of the Western Cape, 2010)[more][less]
Abstract: BACKGROUND: Although the health benefits of physical activity have been proven, many children and adolescents still do not meet the recommended guidelines for sufficient physical activity. The purpose of this investigation was thus to examine the levels of PA, and learners perception of support from teachers, family and friends at an independent school in the Western Cape. Furthermore, the investigation aimed to examine the influence of social support on physical activity. METHOD: A cross-sectional design using quantitative methods was used in this study, which included 100 learners in the senior phase of the school (i.e. grades 5 to 7). The data was obtained with a self-admininstered questionnaire. The data was analyzed with the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 16.0. The Chi-square test was used to explore associations between nominal and numerical data. The T-test was used to determine statistical significance between groups (independent t-tests) and within groups (paired sample t-test). RESULTS: Overall the sample responded positively when asked about support for physical activity from teachers. Furthermore, the study sample had a positive perception of both physical education (PE) and physical activity (PA) enjoyment. Boys participated in vigorous physical activity significantly more regularly than girls. CONCLUSION: As children are spending a considerable time at school, teachers, friends and parents should be encouraged to be supportive of their participation in physical activity.

Then he'd take a freedom dump. And balance is restored.

Dead Wood & Migrating Salmon: Restoring a Southeast Alaska Stream
August 7, 2013
| 4
A neat and tidy stream may look bucolic, even scenic. But for salmon it's a dead end. On Prince of Wales Island in Southeast Alaska, land managers once removed dead wood from streams to "clean" them. That action was based on assumption, not science. Salmon need dead wood. They need diversity. Now a restoration effort is putting the logs back into the stream, creating "fish condos" for salmon.

This hat was fun and festive! Everyone I came in contact with loved it.
Cute, but defective
By pamperedchefnancy
from Nesconset, NY
My job as a food server in an elementary school cafeteria requires me to wear a hat. I bought this hat because I knew the kids would get a kick out of the blinking lights. I tried the lights when I got the hat, but then I couldn't shut them off. Apparently, the off button is defective. I finally removed the battery to turn off the lights. When I wear it at school, I will put the battery back in. Inconvenient, at best.

As a forum roleplayer, I'm admittedly not particularly experienced. In the 18 years I've been a
roleplayer, my efforts have been primarily focused on a tabletop or IRC. That said, in all these years,
I've had one constant character, the vampire Varian.
With this "diary" of sorts, I am hoping to ease myself into this new venue. I want to get used to the
difference in the appearance of my writing in static, rather than in a moving target sort of view. That
said, I am going to use this gallery as a platform to grind out some assorted stories, written as
chronologically accurate as I can manage. Meanwhile, I hope these stories will provide some insight
into who Varian is and what he's about.
Eventually, I want to provide a thorough description of the character and maybe post a couple of
pictures that I've been lucky enough to have produced for me, since his creation.
My only request is that you forgive any odd formatting or "weirdness" in my writing, while I become
more accustomed to this great, new place. I hope you enjoy what is here and, please feel free to
contact me, should you be interested in possible stories and/or just want to add to my, currently
very short list of friends!

Sri Lankas Ambassador Jayatilleka chosen as Coordinator of the UNCTAD Asian Group |
Friday, 20 March 2009 | |
The Ambassador / Permanent Representative to the United Nations in Geneva Dr. Dayan Jayatilleka was unanimously chosen as the Coordinator of the Asian Group of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) today, taking over from Indonesia. As coordinator of the Asian Group, the Sri Lankan Permanent Representative will be facilitating the formulation and presentation of the Group's concerns and interests in UNCTAD, and working to ensure that these interests are properly addressed in the UNCTAD framework. Sri Lanka's role as coordinator of one of the three regional groups (along with GRULAC and the Africa Group) of the larger developing country grouping known as Group of 77 and China (G77 and China) is particularly important at this time, given the increased challenges being faced by developing and least developed countries in the current environment of economic slowdown. In addition, Sri Lanka's role as coordinator also comes at a crucial time as countries strive to achieve the fullest implementation of the Accra Accord, the Ministerial mandate received at the UNCTAD XII Ministerial Conference held in Accra, Ghana last year. This mandate sets out the work of UNCTAD over the next four years, particularly addressing the challenges of globalization for developing countries. In accepting the coordinatorship on behalf of Ambassador Jayatilleka, Mr. U.L.M. Jauhar, Minister of the Permanent Mission, thanked Members of the Asian Group for their confidence in electing Sri Lanka to this position, particularly at this critical time, and assured the Group of Sri Lanka's commitment to cooperating with all Members to ensure that the Asian Group's interests are represented and addressed. The Sri Lankan representative also extended congratulations to Indonesia and the Philippines, who were elected by the Asian Group to serve as President and Vice-President respectively of the UNCTAD Trade and Development Board, and assured them of Sri Lanka's support in their work. Members of the Group congratulated Sri Lanka on its election, and promised their support to Sri Lanka in discharging its responsibility as coordinator. UNCTAD is the main forum within the UN Framework to address the challenges of trade and development, and has as its three main pillars of work, the provision of a forum for intergovernmental deliberations, research and policy analysis and provision of technical assistance. |

Barton's 'Jefferson Lies' book yanked
POSTED: Sunday, August 12, 2012 - 11:00pm
UPDATED: Sunday, August 12, 2012 - 11:04pm
NATIONAL NEWS (CNN) — A best-selling book is getting boxed up and returned to the publisher after complaints of historical inaccuracies.
Publisher Thomas Nelson has withdrawn "The Jefferson Lies" after a lengthy review found the author, David Barton, had included "historical details that were not adequately supported," said Brian Hampton, a senior vice president and publisher for Thomas Nelson.
Hampton said the move was "extremely rare" and he could not recall a time in the publisher's history when it had recalled a book in this manner. "We're disappointed for everyone concerned," Hampton said.
Barton is the founder and president of the Texas-based WallBuilders, a group that describes itself as "dedicated to presenting America's forgotten history and heroes, with an emphasis on the moral, religious and constitutional foundation on which America was built -- a foundation which, in recent years, has been seriously attacked and undermined," according to its website.
"The Jefferson Lies: Exposing the Myths You've Always Believed About Thomas Jefferson," was published in April. In it Barton attempted to dispel the popular notion that Thomas Jefferson was a secular politician who pioneered the idea of strict church-state separation.
It was Barton's first book with Thomas Nelson and was released to great expectations. By May 13, 2012, the book landed on The New York Times Best-Sellers list.
But even before the book was published, Hampton said Thomas Nelson began receiving complaints.
"First concerns came our way from people who hadn't read the book," he said. The publisher thought the complaints were from people on the opposite ideological spectrum from Barton, a conservative political star who has long billed himself as an evangelical historian.
"We still took them seriously and began a review process," Hampton said. Despite the complaints, the book still went to press.
As Thomas Nelson was conducting its own review, so were academics.
Warren Throckmorton, an associate professor of psychology, and Michael Coulter a political science professor, both at Grove City College, a conservative Christian school in Pennsylvania, were also conducting their own review. They published their own e-book that fact checked Barton called "Getting Jefferson Right."
Barton had written off other critics as "liberal elites," but this was a searing attack from within the evangelical community.
Hampton said there was no outside tipping point for the publisher.
"We were monitoring everything that was happening out there," he said.
He said concerns were expressed about the book from a variety of sources. "What was most compelling to us was engaging with the manuscript."
"The first thing we did was go back to the book and see what was a matter of opinion or analysis," Hampton said.
After the internal review of Barton's book, Hampton said, "We became convinced there were parts of the book that were not historically supported."
"Both withdrawing it from the marketplace and reverting the rights back to him seemed like the best thing for us to do," he said.
Barton told Bob Smietana, a religion reporter for the Tennessean, a Nashville-based newspaper, "All I got was an e-mail saying it was canceled," he said. "It was a complete surprise."
In a statement issued by WallBuilders late Friday night Barton said, "while Thomas Nelson may have 'lost confidence' in the work, others have not and thus the book has already been picked up by a much larger national publisher and distributor. Even at the time Nelson dropped the work, they admitted that it was still selling very well."
A representative for WallBuilders would not name the new publisher, suggesting the details were not final and the final word would come through their website once those details could be worked out.
Barton's statement pushed back hard against Thomas Nelson's review of his material.
"As is the case with all of our published items, we go above and beyond with original source documentation so that people can be thoroughly confident when they see the truth of history for themselves," the statement read.
"We find it regrettable that Thomas Nelson never contacted us with even one specific area of concern before curtly notifying us they had dropped the work. Had they done so, we would have been happy to provide them with the thorough and extensive historical documentation for any question or issue they raised; they never asked," the statement continued.

A rectangular piece I toyed with shaping the edges down but had a brainwave to increase the size and the gentleness of the slope..
A diagonal cut throught the thickness of the board allowed a variety of 'steepness' , one big terrain feature or two smaller hills on the edge of the gaming board.
I've tried sitting my watch tower on it (without walls) and that works nicely too
So far its had some basic paint work to give an under colour but I'm nervous about the next grassing/vegitation step.
Any tips or suggestions welcome.

Lovely orchid shots. I prefer version 1 but would like that stem in the bottom left hand corner taking out.
I think I prefer V1, just that bit more jungle-in-miniature background.
Two very cheery images, and you're right, that play of sunshine is GORgeous! I prefer the second for its simpler composition, but both are great.
Thanks for your visit BTW - it's good to BE back. I just wish I had more time to take photos then I might be a more frequent visitor!
All the best to you

Quote: Simply divine, Andrew, and V.2 gets my vote, I prefer the background without the stem. Who's showing off now, "taken in the garden" . Aren't you the lucky one to hve orchids as garden flowers Carol
I think I agree with just about every word here Andrew!
Rgds., Jim
fantastic light and these red sprinkly bits are so beautiful. the side view is very interesting but v1 sings out to me
Top class flower photography Andrew, I think this deserves the famous TT award. You've used the available light perfectly and I love the vivid yellow colour of those beautiful flowers

Women's entrepreneurial potential is underexploited and the EU needs more women entrepreneurs to create growth and new jobs. This was the main message of today's European SME Week Summit in Brussels which focuses on encouraging women to consider setting up and running their own business, usually a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME).
With Europe moving further towards having national economies based on adding value through services, the need for more and better qualified human capital will only grow. This is where women can play a key role. The fact that women only account for 34.4% of the self-employed in Europe suggests that they need more encouragement to become entrepreneurs.
This leaves considerable untapped human potential that is sorely needed to boost economic growth and create the new jobs required in today's difficult economic climate. If more women can be motivated to start up and lead companies, this could generate growth and jobs across the EU.
The European Commission is actively promoting women entrepreneurship with:
- the European Ambassadors' Network providing inspirational role models to encourage women to consider entrepreneurship as a viable career option and
- a European Mentors' Network who give practical advice to women who have recently launched their own businesses.

NBA PM: The Danger Of A Losing Culture
It's one thing to lose games, even to have losing seasons. That happens to every team, sooner or later. Teams like the San Antonio Spurs, Los Angeles Lakers and Dallas Mavericks have been particularly adept at avoiding sustained periods of losing, but even those teams have had their share of off years.
Other teams have not been so fortunate, and have had to endure sustained periods of losing. Whether due to injuries, poor drafting, free agent signings gone wrong or other circumstances, these teams run the risk of allowing a culture of losing to set in, and once that happens it can take years to shake the habit.
One team that is in the danger zone, not too far removed from their last championship, but also out of the playoff picture in recent years, is the Detroit Pistons. Burning through coaches and players like they grew on trees, the team is mired in a downward spiral that must not be allowed to become viral.
"Well, you can't accept it," Pistons head coach Lawrence Frank says of losing. "Regardless of what your record is, the things you can control in terms of having a championship culture, you can control that. You may not win a championship, but the way you prepare, practice, go about your business, those are all controllable. If you allow losing to pervade, and that's going to impact how you go about your business, then that's not a good thing."
Second-year floor leader Brandon Knight came from a winning culture at the University of Kentucky, and believes that experience can help him be a part of bringing a winning mentality back to Detroit.
"Definitely, after games, after losses and just not being cool about it," Knight tells HOOPSWORLD. "We got to have a mindset of being a winning team and in my mind, we are a winning team. I think we have to see that first, and before it starts to happen people are seeing it first, as well. So not accepting losing and not accepting losing habits. So when you see guys aren't doing what they need to do, as a point guard, just saying something to them or try to correct it and also making sure when someone tells me of things I need to improve on or do better that I'm able to accept it and act upon it."
Fortunately, the young players around Knight are more than receptive to Knight's words of wisdom, and third-year center Greg Monroe says the Pistons are not taking losing lightly.
"Yeah, guys want to win here, we're competitors," Monroe tells HOOPSWORLD. "We want to win as a group, so it's definitely something that we don't like and we're working hard as a group to try and change that."
Even rookie Andre Drummond has seen evidence that this current group of Pistons are anxious to turn the page and put Detroit back in the playoff hunt.
"Yeah, after a loss you can see it on everybody's face; nobody likes to lose," says Drummond. "If you like losing, that's a problem. For us, we just have to figure out a new game plan and really try get better and win games, that's what it comes down to."
It remains to be seen, of course, whether this group of players and this group of coaches can shake the grip of losing with which the Pistons are currently grappling, but it's clear that there is a core group of young players in place who are up for the challenge. Changing the culture of a team starts with making sure the right influences are in place and the right voices are being heard. It seems the Pistons have taken significant strides towards making sure that's the case.
Vote Of Confidence for Kenyon Martin
Denver Nuggets head coach George Karl is one of the more interesting and entertaining interviews in the NBA. He's interesting because he's seen so much during his career as both a player and coach across a number of professional basketball leagues and he's entertaining because he pulls no punches when it comes to observing the NBA.
In a recent conversation with HOOPSWORLD, Karl expressed his surprise that former Nuggets power forward Kenyon Martin has not yet found a team to play with this season.
"I don't think there's any question that Kenyon Martin is an NBA player," said Karl. "He can help not only good teams, but also bad teams. Right now I think the trend in the league is to go young. Instead of maybe half the teams thinking they can go young, we have 25 teams in this league thinking about when they go pick up a player they're going to go young. And then there are those four or five teams.
"I think an opportunity will come to Kenyon. Someone will have an injury or have a situation that will fit Kenyon. I think Kenyon will also be hungry and ready for it. I think Kenyon understands where he is in his career.
"Does he have to make a little step towards management and being a better teammate? Probably. But in the same sense, he knows what's going on. He's a very smart player, a bright player and one of the more dominating defenders I've ever coached."
There are certainly a number of teams looking for front court help, including the Boston Celtics, who are said to be considering Erick Dampier. Martin may not be a seven-footer, but he is an active body and extremely competitive spirit, and with George Karl's endorsement it seems that sooner or later Martin will find a home. He is, after all, arguably the best free agent still on the market.
Greg Smith's Big Night
On a night when the majority of fans and media were focused on such players as Kobe Bryant, Dwight Howard, James Harden and Jeremy Lin, it was instead another, much less well-known player who stole the limelight and, in the end, the show.
Greg Smith's career in professional basketball started in about as unconventional way as you will find. He was playing in Mexico when the NBA Developmental League's Rio Grande Valley Vipers found him. Playing for the Vipers helped him get the attention of the Houston Rockets, who had him bounce back and forth between the D-League and the NBA throughout last season. This season, Smith has been more of a mainstay with the Rockets, appearing in 12 of their 17 games, but it wasn't until he was up against what should have been his toughest opponent – Howard – that he put on his best show.
"It feels wonderful," Smith told HOOPSWORLD after he scored a career-high 21 points in helping the Rockets beat the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night. "I'm from California, so that was one of the teams I watched when I was growing up. It feels good to get that win, to go out there and play against Dwight Howard and Kobe Bryant, two of the best players in this league, and be able to showcase my talents and my skills, it feels good right now."
Smith is not yet a consistent producer for the Rockets, but he has put together back-to-back double-digit scoring games and looks to be in the current plan for the team.
"It feels good," said Smith. "I think the team really likes me, and the GM and everybody really loves me both as a player and as a person. It feels good to know that I might have a stable home here, and that they might keep me around for a long time. I'm very proud of that. It took me a long time, working from the bottom to get to the top. I've got to work hard and I know I will continue to do that."
Despite going undrafted and starting his basketball career outside the US, Smith maintained a high level of confidence, and he credits that for his current success.
"My confidence in myself," said Smith. "Knowing I could make it, knowing I could do it, I've been doing it since I was three years old. Knowing that I worked hard to be here, knowing that I earned it, and it feels good. … It was kind of hard going undrafted, playing in the D-League, but all of the work I did in the D-League, during the summer and during the lockout is starting to pay off. It feels good that I did all that. You have your ups and downs in life, and right now it's up."
That's basically how the Rockets are, as a team, with some ups and downs, but on a little bit of an up after beating the Lakers. Smith believes that as long as the team sticks together they will have more ups ahead.
"We have a lot of potential, but we're a very young team. We're going to stick together and play hard, we're going to defend together and go out there and play as a whole unit. I can see this team doing a lot of good things in the future."

Say goodbye to the traditional peaked tent with a more contemporary look. The Regal Flat Top is an engineered white mesh facade and durable steel frame that masks the peaked ends of the tent. It is attached to the rafter of the tent and has been designed to allow wind flow-through as well as rain and snow run-off. The Flat Top also provides great branding opportunities since the vertical facade is seen clearly from virtually any vantage point. The end result is a structure that looks like anything but a tent

Working 12 to 14 hour shifts is the root of all fatigue and human performance issues in today's hospitals. Hospitals need to go back to 3, 8-hour shifts if we want to reduce things like "alarm fatigue" and mistakes in judgement while providing patient care.
Hospital Alarm Fatigue Puts Patients' Lives at Risk
Incessant hospital alarms are desensitizing caregivers, and in some cases jeopardizing the health and costing the lives of patients, according to a recent report by the Joint Commission, the national organization that accredits hospitals.
Hospital attendants hear tens of thousands of alarm signals throughout the hospital every day. "It is estimated that between 85 and 99 percent of alarm signals do not require clinical intervention," stated the report. Sometimes alarm signals are set too tight, the default is not adjusted correctly for a patient, the electrodes have dried out, or the sensors are miss-positioned.
All of this leads to constant beeping and ultimately "alarm fatigue."
Clinicians thus become "immune to the sounds, and are overwhelmed by information."
A 2011 U.S. Food and Drug Administration report identified 566 alarm-related deaths between January 2005 and June 2010.
Now the Joint Commission is urging hospital leaders to address the problem of "alarm fatigue" and train staffers in safe alarm management. In the meantime, the Commission is additionally exploring other options to address this problem, including the possible development of a National Patient Safety Goal.

I work in a hospital setting
I work in a hospital setting where everything alarms, even drawers left opened. It is overwhelming and silencing and resetting these alarms takes time and attention away from the patients needs. I can attest to the fact that a person becomes immuned to these alarms as 99% of them do not signify a problem with the patient. The alarms are not ignored as they are annoying enough to warrant silencing them. But when most of them are false alarms the 1% of the time that its real may be the time when you don't respond in a timely manner.
This is something many
This is something many Industrial Electrical Techs working in Automation and Controls have known for years. It is imperative to eliminate nuisance alarms because the operator becomes desensitized. They lose any sense of urgency and when the alarm is real they may ignore it and not attend to it immediately which can result in a shutdown, and can result in a catastrophic failure.
Assuring alarms can be trusted improves an operators responce. An operator must remain attentive to details and there are also methods to improve their focus. Maybe hospitals could learn a lesson from Those working in Automation and Controls.

Infection Prevention
SEORMC Infection Prevention Quick Reference Joint Commission Broadcast: "Speak Up: Prevent the Spread of Infection"
Purpose The purpose of the SEORMC Infection Prevention Program is to promote a healthy and safe environment by minimizing the risk of spreading infections to our patients, healthcare workers, physicians, volunteers, visitors and other medical center guests. | ||
Protection for Everyone Handwashing or Hand-Rub Careful hand hygiene decreases the risk of getting infection while in the medical center. All healthcare workers are required to wash their hands before and after contact with each patient. Patients and visitors should wash hands after sneezing or coughing, after using the bathroom, and before eating. Visitors are also encouraged to wash their hands each time they enter and leave a patient's room. An alcohol-based hand rub may be used instead of handwashing when there is no visible soiling on your hands. | ||
Cover Your Cough! Stop the/spread of germs that make you and others sick! Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough/sneeze or cough/sneeze into your upper sleeve/arm if tissues aren't available! Dispose of tissues in the waste basket. Clean your hands after that. | ||
Visitation Guidelines Please limit the number of visitors to two at any time. Anyone with a fever, cough, cold, sore throat, or any contagious illness should avoid visiting a patient in the hospital. | ||
Special Precautions: Patients are placed on "special" precautions for two reasons: 1. their resistance to infection is low and they need extra protection, or 2. they have a contagious illness and other people must be protected. A 'precautions' sign should not be cause for alarm. It is simply a measure taken to protect our patients, staff and visitors. Visitors should check at the nurses' station for instructions before entering the room. | ||
Care Notes | Patient & Family Information: To avoid spreading infection, educational handouts are available to assist with patient care needs at home and in the hospital. If you have further questions, contact your own physician, the patient's healthcare team members, or the SEORMC Infection Prevention Director at 740-439-8166. |

There are only 1,384 days between now and our next presidential election, which means that time is running out for us to speculate about the candidates. Joe Biden is reportedly considering a run — "I think he's going to take a hard look at it," his son, Beau said — and there are also whispers of a potential Hillary Clinton campaign. According to a recent poll, Clinton already has a significant edge over Uncle Joe: 67 percent of Americans see her favorably, compared to Biden's 48 percent. Why? Because Clinton's position as Secretary of State and "relative distance" from D.C.'s political battles might've given her a popularity boost. Also, the authors hint, she doesn't have Biden's reputation for being a living gaffe-machine. [Source]

If you've found this page, you likely know me - and may have even met my daughter Norah. She is a light to the world! Despite 10 plus finger pokes, and her constant companion - her insulin pump - always attached to her body, she is a happy 5 year old little girl! My goal is to make her a happy little girl, without Type 1 Diabetes.
Will you join me this year, as I pedal 100 miles and fight to cure diabetes with thousands of others across the United States? I'll be doing the La Crosse, Wisconsin ride.
On October 13th, 2010 our family life turned upside down. Norah had been experiencing serious fatigue, was incredibly thirsty all the time, and although potty trained - had started wetting the bed again. I had that parental instinct telling me that something just wasn't right. Unfortunately, I was horrified to to be right. Norah's blood sugars were 734 that day, and her tiny 2.5 year old, 23 pound body was beginning to fail as she was in we now know as Diabetic KetoAcidosis.
You should know that this fund raising event has a very high efficiency - at 80% or more. That means at least 8/10 dollars donated will make it into research labs around the globe. Additionally, we are drawing closer to finding a cure - truly finding a cure, and better ways for Norah and millions of other T1D's to live.
If you're able to help this year, please know I am so incredibly thankful. Your donation means the world to my family and I - and I truly mean that from the bottom of my heart.
More info on T1D:
Join me in the fight to cure, better treat and prevent type 1 diabetes!
Hello! This year, I'll be taking part in JDRF's Ride to Cure Diabetes, along with hundreds of other riders across the country to improve the lives of all people affected by type 1 diabetes (T1D). If you ask people with T1D, they will tell you it is difficult and life threatening. And they know it never goes away.
I am asking for your support. Please donate to my personal fundraising efforts. By doing so, you can help me make a difference for millions of people living with type 1 diabetes.
Did you know that:
As the leader of the type 1 diabetes community, JDRF unifies global efforts to cure, treat and prevent T1D. JDRF will not rest until T1D is fully conquered. Won't you please give to JDRF as generously as possible?
Thank you for your support!

A Population-Based Approach to Survivorship Care: Delivering Interventions via the Web
PI: Jennifer J. Griggs, MD, MPH
This is a prospective study in a population-based sample of patients treated in diverse clinical settings. Participant surveys, SEER registry data, and data on use of the web portal will be combined into a single dataset to address the aims and hypotheses proposed above. Our primary goal is to assess the feasibility of recruiting patients to a web-based intervention. Patient participants will be invited to complete a survey and then to use the web portal for 4 months. A brief evaluation of the portal by the patient participants will follow. Portal non-users or low users (one visit only) will also be surveyed and invited to provide information on why they did not visit or use the portal. (10/01/2011 - 09/30/2012)

NASHVILLE — Regarded as one of the top junior golfers in the nation, Shawn Rennegarbe of Nashville didn't waste much time when it came to choosing a college.
A three-time Class A all-stater, Rennegarbe announced Tuesday that she has given a verbal commitment to attend and play collegiate golf at the University of Arkansas beginning in the 2014-15 season.
A junior at Nashville High School, Rennegarbe said she also considered Wake Forest, North Carolina, Missouri and Illinois, among others but said that Arkansas just seemed like the right place.
"I've been very fortunate that I've been to a lot of places and a lot of nice places, but Arkansas just is the one that seemed right for me,'' Rennegarbe said. "I started my visits last summer, kind of like unofficial visits. When I would go some place to play, if there was a college nearby, I'd go visit it.
"The coaches (head coach) Shauna Estes-Taylor, and (assistant) Mike Adams are not only great coaches but they are also great people and the players on the team were also really nice. I wanted to go someplace where they have a great golf program and also a place where I can get a great education.''
Located in Fayetteville, Arkansas is a member of the Southeastern Conference. The Razorbacks were second in the SEC behind Auburn and placed 23rd in the NCAA Division I National finals a year ago.
Arkansas is currently ranked 14th in the nation in the latest Golf Week women's NCAA Division I poll.
Rennegarbe has been one of the players in the state the past three years. Ninth in the Class A state tournament as a freshman, Rennegarbe was fourth as a sophomore and placed second this past year. With Rennegarbe leading the way, Nashville has placed third, second and fourth in the team competition.
Rennegarbe also plays a full schedule of regional and national tournaments in the spring and summer. She also spends time working with PGA Teaching Professsional Don Hawkins at Stonewolf Golf Course in Fairview Heights.
Rennegarbe's decision may come as a surprise to some. Just a junior, Rennegarbe will be the pre-season favorite to win the Class A State Tournament next fall as a senior. But Arkansas just seemed right.
"A lot of the bigger schools are pushing for early verbals, but it wasn't like there was any pressure for me to make a decision. Arkansas just felt right,'' Rennegarbe said. "They have a great golf program and just a great group of people on the team that I'm enjoying getting to know.
"Arkansas is a place where I can grow as a player and as a person. Hopefully I can go down and help them win a national championship.''
Rennegarbe will also have the opportunity to work with former Arkansas player Stacy Lewis. The 2012 LPGA Rolex Player of the Year, Lewis is a volunteer coach at Arkansas when time permits. Lewis was a four-time All-American and won the 2007 NCAA Championship while at Arkansas.
One of the longest off the tee players in the state, Rennegarbe doesn't see any problem with the added distances of college tournaments. But she knows she must continue to improve in order to reach her golfing goals.
"I know there is a lot of room for growth as a player and I've been working on my short game, chipping and putting,'' Rennegarbe said. "A lot of it is based upon potential and I'm going to continue to work hard. I have a lot of goals.''
Rennegarbe said she plans on majoring in engineering at Arkansas.

'Factor' debate on the use of executive orders

Auto-advance: ON
Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
Now the top story tonight opposing point of view.
Join us from Los Angeles Adam legal -- constitutional law professor you -- our professor generally speaking and then we'll get specific where my going wrong.
Well to portray what problem president Obama's doing as a power grab big nor is a long history of executive orders.
The constitution says that the president has the executive power and also says that he -- take care that the laws be faithfully executed.
Every single president going back to George Washington.
Has used those powers to issue executive orders.
Sort of for -- -- this is some kind of power grab just seems to me up a bit exaggerated all right but if you if you use your executive order.
Power to circumvent congress because you can't get what you want past and that's what he's doing here I believe in the gun control issue and probably.
In the debt ceiling issue.
Doesn't that smack of totalitarianism.
Look I'm not gonna go with the checks and balances at the founding fathers put into place.
Ominous sign my name and -- gonna do it.
-- we still have checks and balances we still have the judiciary -- executive order can't be challenged in court.
The truth is is that the courts -- generally upheld executive orders finding them perfectly consistent with the constitution.
And they've -- -- on important issues to president Truman -- an executive order to desegregate the military when congress wouldn't act.
Swim a long history of executive orders even unconstitutional if -- -- don't really see any -- violate the separation of power you do see that it will wind up in court and it will be a mess and if if it's particularly on the gun issue.
Now how do you see it coming down let's let's take the guns first bomb the house is not going to go along with the president's overall view they may make it.
A couple of minor tweaks here and there how do you think the president is gonna handle.
Well I think it's certainly possible that we're going to see some kind of executive order from the president that's what Joseph Biden said the other day and I think repeated that today.
So we're likely to see something but the what the president can do -- an executive order is somewhat limited.
I think the things that he could do he could tighten restriction on imports on assault weapons.
George H.
Bush the first President Bush did the exact same thing during his presidency.
And he could also increase the reporting of mental health -- among federal agencies there's no reason why -- one federal agency has information about someone being declared incompetent.
That shouldn't be shared with the -- either of those running a background.
We get him into trouble if he then says you can't have this particular gun or you can have more -- A clip -- more than ten bullets then he's gonna get into trouble but if he just keeps it in the general sense.
-- they'll be a little bit of an -- now on the fiscal business.
You know it's a horse trading proposition that the Republican Party which wants smaller government and not cut back spending it's -- -- went out and give you authority to raise.
The debt ceiling unless you give us something back which means you cut entitlements a little bit or you do this that the other thing.
And what do you -- likely to happen there.
Well do it is really an unprecedented situation you know we've had the debt ceiling raised.
Over seventy times in the last fifty years congress has always dutifully done it's job and raise the debt ceiling.
Even under divided how and I divided congress is divided government Democrats in congress raise the debt ceiling twelve times for President Reagan -- his request.
That what's unprecedented is we've never seen congress tried to use the debt ceiling as a tool of negotiation.
But I never -- -- -- this is not a dad I mean we we have a frightening amount of debt now.
Sixteen and a half trillion dollars and I gave -- the stats up top.
About -- Obama's spending more than every other president combined so that it it's a different situation.
Then it was under Ronald Reagan.
Now I understand that the president can't order congress.
Raise the -- he can't do that by any order but he can't ignore it he can -- -- executive what is that.
The way -- keep paying unity unity and stuff off is that true is that what he can do.
Well that's roughly the case -- -- -- tried to find other solutions you've heard about the minute the coin option what is the way Obama pointed trillion dollar coin would is that what he's battled back.
Well -- it's a loophole if you well and federal law is the government has not allowed to print money yet new money to pay its debts.
But there's a provision for platinum coins specifically only for platinum -- That allows the secretary of the treasury to issue platinum coins in any size.
-- any denomination whose legitimate trillion dollar coin nobody.
Look if he does that then -- you know whole hell's that break loose.
In this country I agree I think politically that is a bad option will give you with more than a tight rope though Barack Obama and only pays only elected by three and a half million books.
Do you think he's walking a kid -- right now.
He is but I think the tyra was really congress you know the president doesn't need to face reelection its members of congress who if people services are going to be cut.
They're gonna have to face yes -- Republicans are gonna give anymore that -- is not so that's we got.
I'm real chaos up there.
A professor enjoyed talking to you thanks very much.

When Clancy awoke, he didn't have to get out of bed to know that the mule was still there, rotting in the middle of the road.
It had been there for three days now, bloating up in the summer heat, gathering flies and other foul things to it. But this was the first time the stink had been enough to wake him.
Clancy stood and began to make his morning water in the chamber pot.
He scratched around the edge of his beard as his urine rang against the porcelain.
"Didn't used to be like this." He muttered to himself. "Used to be if a mule fell over dead, it got cleaned up."
Finished, he buttoned himself up and scooped up the bowl.
"Not since them Union boys come, though."
Clancy stepped out to his stoop where a tuxedo cat was there to great him, holding the decomposing ear of the dead mule in its mouth, purring happily.
"Hsstt! Get!" Clancy shouted, tossing the contents of his chamber pot after the fleeing cat. The waste left a wet streak in the dirt.
"Now everybody thinks the city is like some kind of giant toilet." He spat. "It's absolutely despicable."
Memphis Note
When the Union troops took over control of the city, there was period of social service breakdown. No one knew who was still in charge, and more importantly, if those people had the money to pay them at the end of the week. So, problems started to emerge, like the mule that was left to rot for several days in a Memphis neighborhood because no one from the city would clean it up.

Pierce County and a pair of local cities are making some progress on their effort to connect a series of short trails into a unified path connecting Chambers Creek Properties with Kobayashi Park in University Place.
Beginning in the late 1970s, the Pierce County Parks and Recreation Department acquired more than 200 acres extending more than 2½ miles into the wooded canyon that Chambers Creek flows through.
"It feels like you're miles from a city," said Joseph Coppo, senior parks planner for Pierce County. "It's really unique."
Residents have walked these trails for years, but they are primitive, disconnected and lack formal trailheads and parking.
The properties' master plan calls for connecting the segments that run on both sides of the creek, including building one or more pedestrian bridges and installing formal trailheads, including limited parking. The trail would remain unpaved and be restricted to foot traffic.
At an open house this month, officials will invite comments on the conceptual plan as well as a proposed alignment for the unified trail.
Pierce County and the cities of Lakewood and University Place are involved in the planning.
Meanwhile, the City of University Place is close to securing property needed to connect Kobayashi Park with the city's Leach Creek Trail east of Bridgeport Way.
With it, the city will have secured public rights to the trail extending to 15 acres it purchased from the University Place School District two years ago at the corner of Cirque Drive and Alameda Avenue.
The city intends to develop a park there.
The city still needs funding to secure a strip of property that would extend the trail to the city's northeast limits. Long term, the city would like to connect the path to Tacoma's urban trails, said David Swindale, UP's development services director.
Meanwhile, the fate of the former home at Kobayashi Park, which UP acquired in 2004, remains unclear.
The city is considering a plan to gut the building and convert it into picnic pavilions. But some area residents are attempting to save the house, designed by a noted local architect and featuring unusual, Japanese-inspired architecture.

I have a male hamster. We are not sure how old he is. He used to be very active, but recently I have noticed that he is very calm. He sleeps all of the time. Is he sick?
Hamsters are normally very active and busy creatures. When they sleep for long periods of time without normal, active behavior, they could be ill. To be certain, please have your veterinarian examine him. A complete physical examination will uncover other possible clues that might be important in making sure that he gets the appropriate treatment.
This question was answered by Dr. Merry Crimi, hospital director of Gladstone Veterinary Clinic in Portland, Oregon.

All other so-called "street name" securities are distributed on a pro rata basis. At the same time, funds from the SIPC reserve are available to satisfy the remaining claims of each customer up to a maximum of $500,000. This figure includes a maximum of $250,000 on claims for cash. Recovered funds are used to pay investors whose claims exceed SIPC's protection limit of $500,000. SIPC often draws down its reserve to aid investors.
Recovered funds are used to replenish SIPC's reserve in the event that the reserve is tapped in the early stages of a liquidation proceeding.
