Unemployment rate.
For individuals, unemployment reduces household income, can limit access to health insurance, and can contribute to psychological stress. For a community, an increase in the unemployment rate can increase demands on social services and might signal broader economic problems. The unemployment rate can fluctuate considerably from month to month; therefore rates should be obtained by month or quarter for one to two years to determine the underlying trend. Field model domains: individual behavior, social environment, physical environment, prosperity, health care, and health and function. Data sources: state employment security office.
Number and proportion of single-parent families.
Single-parent families may experience many economic and social stresses that affect the health status of adults and children. Field model domains: individual behavior, social environment, physical environment, prosperity, health care, and well-being. Data sources: decennial census; data on divorce and births to unmarried mothers can be obtained from the state vital records office to monitor changes in family structure.
Number and proportion of persons without health insurance.
Having health insurance can be key for access to health care services. Without insurance, individuals often do not receive timely treatment or preventive care, which can compound adverse health conditions. Field model domains: disease, social environment, health care, health and function, and well-being. Data sources: no uniform community-level data collection tool is available; state assistance may be necessary to obtain data through community surveys. Oversampling in a state-level survey for the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) might be a source of information on adults; modifications would be required to obtain information on children.
Infant mortality rate by race or ethnicity.
This indicator is included in the consensus set recommended by the CDC (1991) for use by all states and communities. It is widely used as an indicator of child health. Because there are many reasons why infants die, infant mortality reflects the effectiveness of health departments, personal health care providers,

Genre: Mystery/Suspense/Thriller, Suspense
Mega-star Brown takes an unsavory situation and turns it into a tense thriller in which obsession and hatred run rampant. No prize, this hero is struggling to rebuild his life against some bitter odds, while the heroine is laden with love that's tainted with guilt. No one is perfect in this dark and twisted scenario, which provides ample opportunity for transfixing suspense.
Disgraced former football star Griff Burkett's options are quite limited once he gets out of prison. Adding to his woes is a detective who refuses to believe that Griff had nothing to do with the murder of a bookie. The only offer Griff has is a meeting with eccentric disabled millionaire businessman Foster Speakman. To his astonishment, Foster offers to pay Griff a huge amount of money to get his wife, Laura, pregnant -- and not by artificial insemination. Despite his reservations, Griff agrees. Nothing, however, goes as planned, and obsession, twisted love and greed soon turn to violence and murder. (SIMON & SCHUSTER, Aug., 416 pp., $26.95)

Chapter 2
Satoru scrambled up from the ground, his eyes wide and one hand clinging to Drew's. He had to get up. His knees stung from the grit on the ground but that was the least of his problems. They had to go and now. No time to whine. He ran with a small limp behind Drew. Their hands never letting go of one another. "Hurry up Sat," Drews voice was rushed as he tugged the smaller boy with him. They could hear the gunshots behind them, it was far but not far enough, not yet. The duo ran into a small street that was nearly hidden by the huge truck in front of it but Drew had seen it nonetheless. They ran in it just in time as a couple of cars drove into the street they were just in. One second later and they would've been seen, they both realized that.
"In here," Drew tugged Satoru in front of him, pushing him inside of an old and abandoned room. Sat crawled into one of the corners hidden behind huge boxes and clothes. With one look over his shoulder just to be sure, Drew sat next to him. They huddled up together, hearing the cars and occasional tank passing in the street. Satoru held his breath, burying his head into the nape of Drew's neck. The Texan tightened his arms around the smalller boy. His eyes fixated on the closed door, terrified that one of those soldiers would come in and rip Satoru straight out of his arms. But the door didn't open and after what seemed like forever the sounds of cars faded. Soon all that could be heared was the sound of their own laboured breathing. Drew's soft breathes moved Sat's short black hair softly as he spoke. "I-I think they're gone."
Satoru lifted his head and stared at the door. "We should wait a bit longer, just to be safe." Drew simply nodded in agreement.
A good hour later they finally dared to move from their spot. Untangling themselves from one another they stretched their legs. Drew went to look if it was safe enough to go outside. It was, he discovered with relief and went back inside to find Satoru rumaging through cabinets in what looked like a little kitchen.
"Look what I found," He pointed to the table in front of him.
"Is..Is that bacon?" The blond grinned. "It is."
"That's great Sat," Satoru managed a small smile as Drew looked through what he had put on the table next to the bacon. Some bread, fruit, tinned food and milk. "Not that much but the tinned food will last us a while at least."
"We still have some food left from before. Maybe we should try to hit a supermarket again.." Sat whispered and bit into an apple quickly. The run had made him quite hungry.
Drew chewed on his lip as he packed the new supplies in their bags, "We should but not here, ok?"
The other boy nodded while nibbling, the taste of an apple had never tasted so sweet before.
"So let's hit another place."
"We should stay here til tonight and move then. I mean..there could be more of them left…" The Japanese boy's eyes glazed over "Sat…" Drew whispered, setting his bag aside to gather him in his arms. "We'll be fine Sat. We made it this far. The rest of the world won't allow the Federation to continue this. They can't, you know that."
"Then where are they? Drew it's been three months and eleven days, we don't even know what's going on out there, we don't know where the others are!"
"I know, I know but we can't give up. We can't Sat… We owe it to those that didn't make it as far as we did..to Merril."
Satoru gazed at him in silence before he sighed. Drew was right, of course he was. They might be very smart, they were still teenagers caught in a meaningless war. "You're right," he sighed and gave the blonde a small but genuine smile. Drew quickly pecked his cheek. "C'mon let's get everything together and rest a little before going."
They turned back to their bags, filling them with the food and some other supplies they thought could or might come in handy later on.
An hour later they decided to risk moving out of their shelter. Heading opposite of where the cars had gone. The bigger the distance the better. Not wanting to pass the square, they didn't want to see the bloodbath they knew must've happened there, they took the little sideroads and walked through a park in silence. In the cover of then nightfall they briefly dared to hold hands again. It was a small comfort but it reassured them that the other was there and hadn't somehow suddenly dissapeared. Not a word was said while they walked, ears open for any kind of sound and eyes flashing around warily. The smallest of sounds had them tense and ready to run if it was necessary. A branch snapped on their right, they let go of each others hand fast and stopped walking.
Both boys' eyes stared at the trees and bushes, they both prayed that it wasn't a Federation soldier or a sympatizer. For a full two minutes nothing happened and then a small creature ran out of the bush and straight passed them to the tree behind them. A squirrel. Just a tiny squirrel. Satoru closed his eyes briefly, calming his racing heart, as they started to walk again? As much as Drew, and Sat, wanted to take the other's had again, they didn't. One try was enough, so they started to walk closely but not too close. They walked for hours, sticking to small roads, parks and small forests. They had more chance of outrunning someone there than in a city. And for once they were greatfull for their gymteacher back at Dalton for assigning them laps at the start of every gymclass.
Just a litte bit further. Drew told himself as tiredness hit hard. Just a bit. There's a town right there, we can make it. I'ts not that far. With a small burst of energy he grabbed Sat's hand and walked faster. The Japanese boy didn't question him, he was looking down at the ground just as tired, and walked with. The town they reached was small, smaller campared to the city they had just left. Once they were in it Drew let go of his boyfriend's hand and both cautiously looked around. It was something they had agreed on after a small arguement. Satoru didn't want Drew to be killed for being with a gay "Jap" and being gay himself. So distancing himself for half of it and just appearing as best friends was best. Drew went along with it since he couldn't deny Sat anything. The houses they passed were all dark and empty. The owners having abandonded it to flee for safety.
"What are you kids doing here."
The gruff voice came out of nowhere from behind them, startling them both. Out of reflex Drew immediately shoved Satoru behind him in a small attempt to keep him safe, just in case. The man standing a few feet away from them wasn't that tall and after their eyes had adjusted to the light of his flashlight they saw that it wasn't a young man either. They felt uncomfortable as the stranger's eyes flashed from one to the other and hoped desperately he wasn't in the Federation.
"You kids are nuts. C'mon follow me." The older man, around his forties, turned around and started to walk away from them. Satoru and Drew glanced at each other, unsure what to do. Was it safe to follow this man, should they take the gamble. They weren't sure why they did followed him, for all they knew he could be with the enemy but the fact that he wasn't repulsed that Satoru was Japanese made them hope. The older man lead them to one of the houses. Standing close together they entered it, the scent of a freshly cooked meal slammed into them and made their mouths water. They didn't dare to move as the man took of his coat, a gentle voice rang through the hallway.
"Eric? Is that you?"
"Of course. Carla I brought some guests with me to."
"Guests? What do you mean?"
Out of the door on their right a woman appeared, her voice changed from it's cautious tone the moment she saw them. "Oh." She looked at them for a second before smiling. "Well then don't just stand there dears, come on in!"
Drew grabbed Sat's hand out of reflex as they followed the woman, the man, Eric, followed behind them. Carla grabbed two more plates and extra cutlery, placing it on the table for them. A couple of candles were lit around the kitchen. "Sit down dears." She smiled kindly at them, gesturing to the chairs in front of them.
Dinner was spend mostly in silence. Once in a while Eric or Carla would say something or ask them a question to which they answered but neither Drew or Satoru spoke up otherwise. Eating dinner with people almost felt alien and they knew, they couldn't stay here. So when dinner was over and Carla brought them to a room upstairs so they could sleep in decent beds, they told her that it was alright. The meal had been enough help of the couple. "Nonsense, you two look dead on your feet! We don't mind alright? And don't you go worrying, we're helping you two because it's a decent thing to do. Now off you go, to bed." She smiled at them before leaving the room. Satoru looked at Drew while taking off his bag and jacket. "One night. Just..One night, I don't want them to be hurt because of me, because of us."
"One night," Drew agreed as they crawled into the same bed, wrapping his arms around his boyfriend. Sleep came instantly as they could finally relax their tired bodies.
They woke up early in the morning, wellrested and for once they didn't wake up feeling tired still. Drew played with Sat's hair as they lay in silence, not yet wanting to face the day. Satoru's hand lay on his chest, Drew's steady heartbeat was like the rhythm of a lullaby to him. "I love you Sat." The Japanese boy smiled softly. "I love you Drew." They remained silent, content to just hold on to eachother for just a little while. After a while soft sounds could be heard from downstairs and they realized that they should go now eventhough they wished they could stay. So they got out of bed and grabbed their stuff, Drew couldn't help but already miss the bed.
"Carla?" The woman turned around with a freshly made bread in her hands and smiled softly at them. "Goodmorning you two. Did you sleep well?"
"Yes, we did. Thank you for letting us stay the night." Drew looked at her.
"But you're going to leave now." They looked at her in surprise. "It's alright. We both figured that you would. Although we wouldn't mind if you stayed."
Satoru shook his head and spoke up softly. "We don't want to get you in trouble, if they find us here they might kill you."
"I know and I know I can't convince you to stay but I do demand you take this with you." Carla pointed to the small bag on the table. "It's some food and water to last you for some days."
"Thank you Carla." Drew grabbed the bag, wishing there was something they could do for her, just to repay their kindness.
And just like that they left, with only a small goodbye. They were on the road again but having met Carla and Eric made them hopeful, not everyone was like the Federation. There was still some good left in this country. It was just hard to find.

Questions & Answers
Badger Basket Sleigh Style Baby Changing Table
Susan from Moultrie, GA– Verified Buyer
Serves the purpose as a second changing table in the home (downstairs) and is sturdy, looks nice. I wish the changing pad that came with it were thicker.
Great value changing table
Ginger from Lynbrook, NY– Verified Buyer

Sleigh changer
adriana from Modesto, CA– Verified Buyer

Amanda from JAFFREY, NH– Verified Buyer
I found it ridiculous that most changing tables were at least $100 more than this, so I was glad that I found one at a reasonable price point. This goes well with my Delta Bentley 4-in-1 sleigh crib (in chocolate) and was very easy to put together. It's exactly what I was looking for for my new baby's nursery!
Change Table
Leah from North Vancouver, BC– Verified Buyer
I ordered this in white and found it so sturdy, I ordered a second one for my parents place for their nursery with all their upcoming grandchildren. It is the perfect height, lots of shelf space for storage and the white is a nice bright white. Then change pad that it comes with is very thin so I just bought one a thicker one separately.
Perfect for space

I don't understand why the majority of human beings fool themselves into thinking they have to be with someone to be happy or "feel complete".
Doesn't it feel much better to be be assured of how you effect others lives in a more positive, self sacrificing, and unselfish way?
What makes you different is who you are, if you're living your life by letting people, habits, and emotions define who your core being is, you will never ever be truly happy.
In turn what rubs me raw is the very ignorance I believe contributes to the downfall of most, is also something I'am very guilty of taking part in.
I went through various stages in life, like most people do.
When I overcame most of the obstacles that were either in part created by myself or others (that I chose to let influence me in a negative way), I had questions.
I don't like the majority of the answers I've gotten, but as painful as some of them were … . life goes on.

Let It Snow with Other (Toot & Puddle)by Holly Hobbie
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Celebrate the 10th Anniversary of Toot & Puddle with this redesigned hardcover edition of the story that started a series. This anniversary edition of the book includes a limited edition Holly Hobbie print suitable for framing. One day Toot takes off to see the world, while Puddle decides to stay home. This is the story of their wonderful adventures both far away and right at home. It's a story about being yourself and being a good friend.
"The popular porcine pals make their swan song in this charmer of a holiday volume, which marks the end of Hobbie's series. With Christmas fast approaching and no snow in sight, Toot and Puddle are more jumpy than jolly, each trying to find the perfect present for the other as they wish for white weather. Their caring, odd-couple rapport, similar to that of other favorite fictional friends Frog and Toad or George and Martha, has a comfortable and inviting sweetness; readers of any age can relate to the duo's universal feelings and experiences. Subtle facial expressions and childlike poses (and outfits) render the diminutive, piglet pair instantly endearing. But best friends always have the best ideas, and the piggy pair has its best celebration ever. Young cousin Opal adds a pip of funny pep to the generally cozy proceedings, making this another merry and bright visit to Woodcock Pocket. Ages 3-6. (Oct.)" Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
Celebrate the last book in the beloved "Toot & Puddle" series with a Christmas story about the gift of friendship that includes free limited edition Christmas ornaments. With a nod to previous books in the series, this latest story celebrates the endearing friendship that has delighted readers for more than ten years.
Celebrate the last book in the beloved series with a Christmas story about the gift of friendship and free limited edition Christmas ornaments.
With a nod to previous books in the Toot and Puddle series, Holly Hobbie, shows readers that the best kind of present for the best kind of friend is one that shows just how much you care.

Re:Hehe, so much for cooperating (165 comments)
to be fair Virgin's "limit" is at peak times, when you're probably going to find things are a bit slow anyway. I'm on Virgin, and downlod more than that most months, mostly overnight, and I've never had their warning letter.
Virgin are pretty up front about their peak time monitoring, and afaict have only recently come up with a figure for triggering their sending of a letter.
(for disclosure reasons i work for a company who work for virgin, but have no interest in promoting their services, i'm just giving my experiences)

Even as I'm still appreciating Elf, Will Ferrell has given America another Christmas gift this year: a couple dozen TV spots he made promoting Old Milwaukee beer.
Fans of Anchorman, Talladega Nights, and Semi-Pro (surely there are some fans of Semi-Pro) already know that Ferrell has a soft spot in his comedy for vintage Americana. But you might still be asking yourself how a standard beer brand like Old Milwaukee scored talent this big. Ferrell apparently approached the Pabst Brewing Company, saying he is a "fan," and asked if he could do some local spots at no charge. Pabst wisely accepted, and the fruits of his labor are quietly showing up on television screens in Davenport, Iowa, and Terre Haute, Indiana. Above, watch a compilation of Terre Haute's four spots, one of which consists of Ferrell wandering along an old railway track while wearing acid-washed highwaters and a screaming eagle button-down and drinking, of course, a can of Old Milwaukee.
The three Davenport spots that have already aired (there may be as many as seven others soon to come) include Mr. Ferrell sitting on his favorite log, expressing his town pride, and "hand-fishing" in the Mississippi. We recommend that you head over to Eater to see those for yourself.

text: Ratings: Only Piers Morgan Lost to MSNBC Night of Shooting Print article Send a Tip by John Nolte 18 Sep 2013 post a comment Though Fox News now dominates the cable news ratings during galvanizing national events like Monday's Navy Yard shooting massacre, CNN has of late beat MSNBC for second place, which it did Monday night -- except for Piers Morgan. Although Morgan immediately went into his default position of exploiting a mass-shooting for ratings, his primetime hour is the only one that lost to MSNBC the night of the shooting. Wolf Blitzer handily beat Al Sharpton and Ed Schultz in both total viewers and the all-important 25-54 age demo. Erin Burnett just as handily trounced Chris Matthews; and Anderson Cooper won both of his hours against Chris Hayes and Lawrence O'Donnell. Piers Morgan, however, not only earned the lowest ratings of the night for CNN (except for a 11pm rerun), he lost to MSNBC's Rachel Maddow in both total viewers and the 25-54 demo. Morgan is a genius at exploiting gun tragedy as a way to turn the spotlight on himself. No one questions that. Unfortunately (for his employer), the aging carnival barker is not able to turn that controversy into anything other than one ratings embarrassment after another. If CNN chief Jeff Zucker is as smart as his champions say he is, some part of that Big Brain must be quietly humming, "How do you solve a problem like Piers Morgan?" It is one thing to hire a Jerry Springer-type if his behavior can actually deliver viewers. But all Morgan delivers is low ratings and more damage to the reputation of a network that cannot afford much more damage. One thing CNN can take comfort in is that so few people watched Morgan Monday night as he framed an entire show around a false claim based on his lazy brand of tabloid journalism.

1110 Nicollet Mall
Minneapolis, MN 55403
Category: Bars and Clubs
Region: Minneapolis (Downtown)
Sure, it's nice to go to the movies in order to take advantage of the air conditioning. But outdoor film screenings are a novelty in that they usually involve sitting on a lawn and enjoying beer, ice cream, or other snacks while you watch. This, despite the heat, is half the fun. This Monday, Brit's Pub launches its summertime rooftop movie series. Films scheduled have a United Kingdom flair, of course. The first flick is 1981's Arthur, and the unabashedly drunken antics of Dudley Moore's character should serve as a nice palate-cleanser for those who saw the awful 2011 version. Films in the weekly series include Scoop (August 8), Paul (August 15), the Oscar-winning The King's Speech (August 22), Robin Hood (August 29), and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 (September 5).
Mondays, 8:30 p.m. Starts: Aug. 1. Continues through Sept. 5, 2011

Adam, next time you want to check out whaletails.com or one of the many other weird niche adult sites you forgot to clear from my history, at the very least do it on your own computer or don't make a mess all over my keyboard.
I can't believe I even have to tell you this. I'm so embarrassed for you and what a disgusting slob you've become. I may very well have peed on your sheets, but this is way, way more disgusting.

Tonight the Rams could go in a million different directions. They could trade up or they could trade back. They could take this player or they could take that player. For once their is some drama on draft day for Rams fans, and nobody really knows exactly what they are going to do. Mike Mayock has the Rams taking Vaccaro and Ogletree, while Todd McShay has the Rams taking Vaccaro and Lacy. Well, here is a preview of what I think may go down tonight at 8pm ET.
The Rams have eight picks tonight with three of them coming in the top 50. Experts are saying that the time to pick is between 20-50 and two of the Rams picks come in that range. The positions of need for the Rams are safety, wide receiver, outside linebacker, running back, and offensive line. The Rams will try and pick the best player available while also filling a position of need. If the Rams execute that like they did last year they will be in good shape.
At 16 the Rams have a lot of options, they would like to trade down, but if they want to get any of the top players in the draft they may have to trade up. ESPN's Todd McShay has reportedly heard a lot of "buzz" that the Rams would like to trade up to get Tavon Austin. When all is said and done I think the Rams will in fact get out of 16 and move up if the price is right. The Rams front office is smart enough to not make a stupid desperate trade. There are a lot of teams that would like to move down, just not a lot that want to move up. Possible trade partners to move up could be the Buffalo Bills or the New York Jets.
At 22 the Rams will once again try their best to get out as they have already said that they would like to trade back. A team that picks early in the second round that wants to get a jump on one of the quarterbacks could try to trade back into the first round. The Rams could be a trade partner for one of those teams. I would expect the Rams to be very active tonight, trying to make a lot of trades.
It will also be interesting to see which direction the Rams go. The Rams have two first round picks and you have to wonder if they will go all offense, all defense, or go one offense one defense with those picks. If the Rams went two defensive players, there is no doubt they would be one of the best defenses in the league. The Rams are built around the defense as the defense is what holds the team together, it would not surprise me if the Rams went all defense in the first round and waited until day two to address the offense especially if Cordarrelle Patterson and Tavon Austin are off the board.
Well Rams fans it's that time. No more mock drafts, no more trying to predict what will happen. In four long hours until the draft finally starts and the Kansas City Chiefs are on the clock. It's now up to the GM's and coaches to draft who they think will benefit the team. Time to go get on my jersey and put together some wings before the commissioner gets on the stage. Remember the draft begins at 8PM ET and will be shown on ESPN and NFL Network.

An Illinois man is suing Lake County officials over his treatment while serving a weekends-only sentence at the Lake County Work Release Center, court records state.
Brian Chandler filed the federal lawsuit in May, claiming officials were negligent, violated his constitutional rights and intentionally inflicted emotional distress on him. He claims Lake County Sheriff John Buncich, a police sergeant, the sheriff's department, jail and sheriff's work release center failed to properly train and supervise a male correctional officer who sexually abused him, failed to protect him from a violent attack by inmates, then failed to seek prompt medical attention for his injuries, federal court records state.
Attorney John Bushemi, who represents Buncich and the Lake County Sheriff's Department, said he cannot comment at this time because he is not familiar with the allegations in Chandler's lawsuit.
Chandler claims a male correctional officer sexually harassed, fondled and abused him from March through May 2011, court records state. He also claims the officer was known to supply inmates with cigarettes and other items in return for their loyalty. The Times is not naming the officer because he has not been criminally charged relating to those accusations.
Chandler said he reported the behavior to Indiana State Police, which notified Lake County officials, who later initiated an internal investigation, according to Chandler's complaint.
Chandler said he was scared for his life, but officials assured him he would be protected. He said officers were aware death threats had been made against Chandler by other inmates.
On May 7, 2011, Chandler was serving his weekend sentence when two work release inmates allegedly rushed toward him and tried to slash his neck with a metal object shaved like a knife, court records state. He turned his face but still was cut, causing significant facial damage, fractured facial bones and broken teeth, records state.
Chandler claims Lake County officials delayed prompt medical attention for his injuries, then transported him back to the facility, where he was forced to stay with the inmates who attacked him.
In the lawsuit, Chandler said video surveillance at the work release facility shows four inmates working together to orchestrate the attack.
Those four inmates — Brandon Keys, Samuel Epperson, Jaquan Richards and Jeron Williams — later were charged and pleaded guilty to criminal charges relating to the attack, Lake Criminal Court records show.

FRIDAY, Jan. 13 (HealthDay News) -- Health and fitness experts
have for years tried to entice people to exercise more by flogging
long-range benefits such as losing weight or avoiding long-term
illness caused by chronic disease.
They might have been going about it all wrong. Research now
appears to show that "improve your heart health" may be a less
effective message than "feel better now."
A University of Michigan study found that people are more apt to
exercise when they're given reasons that apply to their immediate,
day-to-day life. For example, telling someone they will have more
energy after working out seems to be a more effective motivation
than telling them they will be less likely to develop diabetes.
Michelle Segar, the study's lead author, said she believes the
results indicate a need to "rebrand" exercise so that health
organizations that promote exercise will see better results from
their efforts.
"We need to develop new messaging that teaches people that physical activity is a way to reduce their stress in the moment, feel better in the moment, create more energy in the moment," said Segar, a research investigator with the Institute for Research on Women and Gender at the University of Michigan. "You're a more patient parent. You enjoy your work more. You don't snap at your spouse as much. The benefits of exercise help you lead a more pleasant and productive life. The messaging needs to go there."
The study focused on a randomly selected set of 385 women, 40 to
60 years old, who were given several questionnaires over the course
of a year related to exercise and health.
The women's responses indicated that they valued long-term goals
like weight loss as much as short-term goals more directly linked
to day-to-day quality of life, such as stress reduction.
Nonetheless, Segar and her team found that women who cited
short-term factors exercised more often than those who felt
long-term goals were most important.
"The women who exercised for quality of life did significantly more exercise than the other two groups," Segar said. Those who exercised based on daily quality of life worked out 15 percent to 34 percent more often, the study found.
This argues strongly for a reassessment of how exercise is
promoted, Segar said.
"Health and healthy aging are very abstract," she said. "We may endorse them as important, but the problem lies in the fact that we live very busy, complicated lives. When you're looking at your daily to-do list, how compelling is fitting in exercise for a reason that's far in the future, where you might never notice? If you're exercising to enhance the quality of your daily life because it reduces your stress or improves your mood, you notice those things immediately. And if you don't exercise, you immediately notice you feel worse."
Messages that might resonate better with people who need to
exercise more often, she said, include that exercise is a way
Though those are compelling arguments for exercise, groups might
want to think twice before removing long-term goals from their
marketing strategies, said Walter Thompson, a professor of exercise
science in the department of kinesiology and health at Georgia
State University and a spokesman for the American College of Sports
Long-term goals like weight loss tend to be measurable, whereas
short-term goals like improved energy are largely subjective,
Thompson said.
"The problem with the long-term goal is they can get to the 5½-months point and not lose a pound," he said. "That's the argument for the short-term goal. But without a long-term goal, it's hard to come up with short-term goals."
Short-term goals also might not apply to everyone because
they're subjective, he added.
"I like to run, but I remember days when I just felt miserable after my run," Thompson said. "If I only looked at short-term goals, if I felt bad one day, I may not do it the second day."

It's finally about to become official.
After a year of the #tankforWiggins campaign, the time for Andrew Wiggins to finally declare for the 2014 NBA Draft, and to make half the NBA's dreams one step closer to fruition, has come and is expected to be done later today during his 3 p.m. scheduled press conference.
CBSSports.com and other media reports posted Sunday night that Wiggins would announce his intentions to declare for the NBA Draft on Monday. This came after Kansas announced it would hold a press conference Monday at 3 p.m. ET with Wiggins and KU coach Bill Self.
Wiggins averaged 17.1 points and nearly six rebounds for the Kansas Jayhawks this season. He's been projected as the No. 1 overall pick in this year's NBA Draft and is at worst a top-three pick.
But now, it finally begins to get interesting.
With the NBA season nearly over, here is the updated Tanking Rankings:
1. Milwaukee Bucks (14-59)
2. Philadelphia 76ers (16-57)
3. Orlando Magic (21-53)
4. Utah Jazz (23-51)
5. Boston Celtics (23-50)
6. Sacramento Kings (25-48)
7. Los Angeles Lakers (25-48)
8. Detroit Pistons (26-47)
9. Cleveland Cavaliers (30-45)
10. New York Knicks (31-43)
11. Denver Nuggets (32-41)
12. New Orleans Pelicans (32-41)
13. Minnesota Timberwolves (36-36)
14. Memphis Grizzlies (43-40)
However, as we all know, all that matters is the luck of the ping pong…or whoever Adam Silver wants to win the lottery, if you're in to that whole conspiracy thing.
So who gets him?

Have no idea if they'd want me to point out which person belongs to which tumblr url, but here is a great pack of ASOIAF ladies that I met up with last night in NYC. There's one missing from the pics, since she came a bit later. But everyone was fabulous and funny and smart. Oh and the pie picture is funnier once you've read all the books.
I'm the one who looks capable of vast amounts of trollingActually you'd probably mistake me for Rachel
Love the pics! That night flew by, it was so fun getting to meet everyone! We definitely need to do that more often. :)...
This is awesome! Except… I've read all the books and I can't figure out why the pies are funny.
Had a lot of fun last night! And the Frey pies were delicious!
