Buy Coconut Oil: Your Guide to Buying Coconut Oil Online
What Kind of Coconut Oil Should You Buy?
Coconut oil has been around for thousands of years in the tropics where coconut palm trees grow. Recently, coconut oil has seen a resurgence in popularity in the U.S. and consumers are beginning to look at buying coconut oil again. So what kind of coconut oil should you buy?
Coconut oils can be classified into two general categories: virgin coconut oils and refined coconut oils. Both categories refer to pure coconut oil with nothing else added, and the main difference is in the production and refining process to make coconut oil.
Virgin Coconut Oil
Virgin coconut oils are the least processed, and they should retain some scent and flavor, as they are not steam deodorized. There are two main types of Virgin Coconut Oils found in the market today: handcrafted traditional virgin coconut oil, and mass produced machine-made coconut oil.
Traditionally made virgin coconut oils are more difficult to make and are more labor intensive. Recent studies have shown that these types of oils, which have been made by families in the tropics for hundreds if not thousands of years using very little technology, have the highest levels of antioxidants (see one study here.) These traditionally made virgin coconut oils are made from fresh coconuts, using the wet-milling process by grating the fresh coconut oil meat shortly after harvest, and then making coconut milk from the fresh coconut, which is then used to separate the oil from the fresh coconut milk.
Mass produced machine-made virgin coconut oils are generally made using an expeller press to extract the oil from desiccated coconut oil. These virgin coconut oils are generally made by the desiccated coconut plants. Another less common method of producing machine-made virgin coconut oil is by using a centrifuge machine to separate the coconut oil from the coconut milk. This requires a special machine (centrifuge) and is a more modern method recently developed to mass produce virgin coconut oil from fresh coconuts.
Unfortunately, there is no standard industry definition for "virgin" coconut oil as there is in the olive oil industry. Therefore, it is not uncommon to find refined coconut oils, as described below, labeled as "virgin" coconut oils. Some brands also use the term "extra virgin" coconut oil, even though there is nothing "extra" that can be done to produce coconut oil other than the ways described above, and the term "extra virgin" is therefore simply a marketing term. Learn more about buying virgin coconut oil here.
Refined Coconut Oil
Refined coconut oils start out with "copra", which is a dried form of the coconut meat used to sell to coconut oil producers for further processing. In many places the coconut meat is separated from the shell of the coconut, and then the shells of the coconut are burned as fuel to dry the coconut meat, usually in the open air. The coconut absorbs the smoke from the burning coconut shells, and can be contaminated from sitting in the open air before and during transport to large coconut oil production plants. Once the coconut meat reaches the coconut oil factory, it is further refined to make it suitable for selling as an edible coconut oil. The entire process is called RBD - refined, bleached, and deodorized. The bleaching process is actually a filtering through clay, and not necessarily a chemical process. Steam is used to deodorize the coconut oil, and these coconut oils have a bland taste.
Some refined coconut oils are also produced by the use of chemical solvents to increase the amount of oil that can be extracted from the coconut, as opposed to the older mechanical extraction method. If the coconut oil is not cleaned properly, there is a chance small amounts of these chemical solvents could remain in the finished product.
Characteristics of All Coconut Oils
Coconut oil is primarily a saturated fat. The predominant fatty acids found in coconut oil that make coconut oil unique are medium chain fatty acids. The largest percentage of these medium chain fatty acids is lauric acid. Coconut oil is nature's richest source of lauric acid, outside of human breast milk. All coconut oils, whether virgin or refined, will be composed of these very beneficial fatty acids.
One of the most common misconceptions found on the Internet these days is that only virgin coconut oil is beneficial, and that refined coconut oils are harmful. This is generally not true, unless the refined coconut oil has been hydrogenated and contains trans fats. It is almost impossible to buy consumer packaged coconut oil that has been hydrogenated. Refined coconut oils may lack some nutrients and will more than likely not have the antioxidants that the traditionally-made virgin coconut oils contain, but they are certainly not harmful. They still contain the beneficial medium chain fatty acids, and as a saturated fat they are shelf stable and not prone to oxidation like polyunsaturated oils.
Buying Coconut Oil for Skin
What kind of coconut oil should one buy if they are going to be mainly using it for their skin? There is no difference between coconut oil used for eating, and coconut oil used for external skin applications. It is the same coconut oil. Traditional coconut oils with the highest levels of antioxidants are best for using on the skin. Some skin care products also use high quality virgin coconut oils.
Buying Coconut Oil for Hair
Coconut oil used for the hair can be the same coconut oil that one would use for cooking. Tropical Traditions does have a special virgin coconut oil for hair that contains more protein than other coconut oils, because it contains more coconut solids. Tropical Traditions also sells organic hair oils that contain virgin coconut oil and other high quality organic oils that are good for hair. Learn more about buying coconut oil for hair.
Coconut Oil Containers
Coconut oil can be corrosive, and if it is stored in cheap plastic, the coconut oil will take on a plastic smell and taste. Always store coconut oil and buy coconut oil in glass containers whenever possible. When storing larger quantities of coconut oil, make sure it is in non-corrosive HDPE food-grade pails.
Where Can You Buy Coconut Oil? Buying Coconut Online
Buying coconut oil online has several advantages. First, rather than simply picking up a jar on a store shelf and reading some text on a label, you have the opportunity to learn more about the product and the company selling it by visiting the company's website online. Tropical Traditions, for example, presents a lot of information about not only how their coconut oils are produced, but the goals and mission of the owners of the company as well. When you buy coconut oil from Tropical Traditions, you can see that your purchase benefits local families and producers in the Philippines, for example, if you buy the Gold Label brand coconut oil. Tropical Traditions also has an FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) page clearly explaining the differences between all of their coconut oils. We also have a video (see above) that explains how our Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil is made. When you are buying coconut oil online in the comfort of your home on your computer, you are not in a rush, and you have time to do some research and make a more informed purchase.
Secondly, the best values and the best deals for buying coconut oil are found online. If you use coconut oil frequently, you will benefit from purchasing a larger container, and very seldom will you be able to buy coconut oil in a store packaged in a one-gallon or five-gallon container. These large containers take up too much shelf space, and are not worth stocking for most stores. Also, since online internet stores do not have all the overhead of a brick and mortar store, they often offer discounts, special sales, and even coupons that can be used when you buy coconut oil. For example, Tropical Traditions puts out a twice weekly sales email that one can subscribe to and be notified when special sales, such as Buy 1 Get 1 FREE, are offered. Tropical Traditions also frequently publishes coupons, such as FREE Shipping coupons, which are the best time to buy coconut oil if you are buying a large, heavy container, such as a 5-gallon pail.
Some of the other major advantages of buying coconut oil online are that you can interact with other coconut oil users and learn new ways to use coconut oil. Tropical Traditions, for example, has a very active Facebook Page where we post sales, giveaways, and recipes. We also have a very active Coconut Recipes blog (and Facebook Page) with hundreds of coconut recipes as well as video tutorials. Our customers also submit their favorite recipes, and if we publish it along with a nice photo, they earn $50.00 in gift certificates that can be used towards buying coconut oil or any of our other products.
Buying Coconut Oil from Trusted Companies
It is very important that you purchase your coconut oil from a trusted company that specializes in selling coconut oil. Because coconut oil is now regaining popularity in the U.S., many companies are jumping on the bandwagon and looking to make a quick profit from coconut oil's popularity. Many of these companies offer the cheapest coconut oils possible, selling mass-produced coconut oils but labeling them as higher quality coconut oils. As mentioned above, beware of the term "extra virgin" as this is just a marketing term.
Tropical Traditions has been selling coconut oil in the U.S. market for over 10 years now. Tropical Traditions was the first company to export virgin coconut oil from the Philippines, and coconut oil is their main product. Their premiere product is their Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil which is still made by hand by small-scale family producers in the Philippines. Learn more about Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil here.
Check Online Reviews When Buying Coconut Oil
Reputable coconut oil companies will have customer reviews available online to learn what other customers think about the company and their coconut oil products. Tropical Traditions has been selling coconut oil for 10 years now, and there are thousands of reviews on their company online.

Race Your Best Next Year: Planning Tips for an Early-Season IRONMAN
Everyone's talking about the off season, but if you're racing an early-season race in 2014, read on.
by AJ Johnson, TrainingPeaks
It may be cold outside, but for some the beginning of the IRONMAN season is just around the corner. Athletes racing IRONMAN South Africa, Los Cabos or Texas are already counting down to race day in four and a half to six months. If you're one of these athletes, you should be asking yourself what you're doing to get ready. Whether you're a first-timer or a multiple-time finisher, use these guidelines to start dialing in your early-season racing success now.
First-timer checklist
For the first-time IRONMAN athlete, just covering the full 140.6 miles is your primary concern. Build up your aerobic engine by doing longer sessions at 60 to 70 percent of your maximum effort (defined as what you could sustain for an hour). This should be done gradually. For example, if your long ride is four hours now, build it to six or seven hours over the course of several weeks. In general, you should be able to cover 112 miles in relative comfort at least four weeks out from race day. This will give you time to do one or two more quality long rides to build your confidence before beginning your taper.
These long rides can be difficult if you're stuck inside for the winter. If so, consider doing multi-brick workouts to break things up. This would consist of doing two to three hours on the bike, then doing an hour run, then getting back on the bike for another two to three hours. You could end with another run if you feel strong, to simulate coming off the bike.
The swim is usually the most daunting part of the day for a first-timer. If you haven't already done steady swim time trials—long, straight swims to simulate race day–add them in. Starting around three months out, begin with a 1,000 m time trial, then move up to 1,500 m, and so on. You should swim a 3,800 m time trial (the equivalent of 2.4 miles) at least once and, like the bike, get it in about a month out from race day. Work on pacing consistently throughout by checking your times at every 500 m increment. Consistent and steady pacing will lead to a better swim time, and more efficient energy expenditure.
For most first-time IRONMAN athletes the pacing is the hardest part, especially early on the bike. Consider that when you get into zone 3 heart rate (90 to 94 percent of the HR you could sustain for an hour), you burn glycogen (read: energy) at a much faster rate. By staying in your aerobic zone you won't burn your energy stores and can keep a steady output throughout the day. You can target your aerobic zone by staying in HR zone 2, 85 to 89 percent of what you could sustain for an hour, or a rate of perceived exertion of of 6 to 7 on a scale of 1 to 10. This is why working in the aerobic zone in training is so important. It is also the key to building long-term fitness. Without it you won't have the base to go faster at your next IRONMAN.
For the seasoned athlete
If you have already finished an IRONMAN, especially in the last year, you likely have a larger fitness base to work with and can do a more work in the upper aerobic zones. You still need to focus on the longer sessions, but consider adding in some zone 3 efforts on the bike and swim. These can be done midweek as their own session in as little as a two-hour ride. You should also include these efforts as part of a race simulation day. Instead of doing multiple six-hour rides, go out for four hours while including these zone 3 efforts. Here's an example for a four-hour ride:
-Warm up
-3 x 30 minutes in zone 3 HR/power with 5 minute recoveries between
-Finish with a strong effort for the final 10 to 15 minutes
The same concept can be used for the run as well.
The idea here is raise your pace at your zone 2 HR or effort level. When you have a strong aerobic base to work with, the addition of zone 3 efforts makes you more efficient and allows you to go faster for the same effort. Maximizing your speed at this effort is the determining factor into how fast you go, and it can only be done when you've already done consistent work at an aerobic effort.
Finally, if you're a North American racing an early-season event, you will likely also be facing a change in climate. Acclimatization to warmer weather varies greatly from person to person, but some effort can be made to ease the transition from cold to warm on race day. If you are heading outside, consider adding extra layers to not only stay warm but also to better simulate race conditions. If you are staying inside, think about putting a space heater near your trainer or treadmill. If you do this, be sure to drink plenty of water to keep hydrated. Not only will this help you with temperature regulation, it will help you understand your sweat loss rate so you can really dial in your hydration and nutrition for race day.

Chocolate Almond Swirl Kugelhopf
Monday, September 4, 2006
A three-day weekend may mean sleeping late or going on picnics or walking around the lake to some people. To me, it means a chance to bake three breads. My Labor Day project was chocolate almond swirl kugelhopf.
To bake this bread, I needed either a kugelhopf pan or a rose bundt cake pan. For some reason, the frugal side of my nature, which is not usually very visible, came out for this pan purchase. I balked at the idea of paying full price for a decorative cake pan that I would might never use again, so I went to E-bay. Even on E-bay, the Nordicware rose bundt pans were not cheap, but eventually I got one for $10. NIB, as they say. And even from a non-smoking household.
When it arrived, I saw why it was so cheap. It was new and it was Nordicware, all right, but it wasn't the nice heavy cast aluminum pan; it was lightweight, thin-as-paper aluminum. So light that the rose petals and rose leaves weren't well defined, and my rose-shaped bread came out looking more like blob-shaped bread. It wasn't a case of false advertising, either, just of bad reading.
Still, although the uncut bread didn't look like much, once I started slicing it, it turned beautiful! The chocolate schmear(I like saying schmear almost as much as saying LaCloche), made with cake crumbs, almond paste, egg, butter, corn syrup, and chocolate, spread on the rolled-out dough easily, and I rolled the dough up without any mishaps. I even had time for a quick trip to Target while waiting for the dough to rise.
I promised myself I would eat only ONE PIECE of this very rich, chocolatey, delicious bread. But I ate two. And the night's not over yet. I plan to take the rest of this bread into work tomorrow, though, so temptation will be removed.

oh my gosh--i wished i worked where you did--your coworkers must adore you!
so did you need to bake a cake to get the cake crumbs?
it looks like you had a great weekend!
- breadbasketcase said...
Well, of course, my co-workers have many reasons to adore me, but they were quite enthusiastic about this bread.
I just used a Sara Lee frozen pound cake for the crumbs, although I did think (for about 2 seconds) about baking a cake just for the crumbs.
- pinknest said...
i love kugelhopf! and yours looks beautiful. that swirl is gorgeous! and yes, i totally advocate spending the money on well-made, gorgeous pans. it's very worth it!you'll use it again...having it is the excuse to bake more.

Former TSA Head Kip Hawley On The TSA's Misconduct Problems: Fix The Disease, Not The Symptoms
from the would-be-nice-if-someone-NOT-in-a-'former'-position-would-have-some-good dept
Former TSA head Kip Hawley seems to have tons of ideas on how to make the TSA better now that he can no longer make these changes. But it's the thought that counts, I suppose.
Hawley's latest op-ed on improving the TSA takes on the latest GAO report that found 1 in 16 TSA employees was investigated for misconduct last year. What Hawley takes issue with is the report's recommendations, which he feels only touch the surface, rather than attack the root.
[W]hen the Government Accountability Office found increased Transportation Security Administration officer misconduct, it just ratcheted up their unpopularity. The report was jarring and disturbing -- rising numbers of absenteeism, theft and intentional security lapses. Obviously, these are red flags that can't be ignored.Hawley's right, in a way. Adding more paperwork to the process doesn't do much more than fill up personnel files and provide job security for those fighting the War on Terror from behind a desk. Still, some improvements should be made in this area as well. Many officials talk a good game about "oversight," but rarely follow through with any sort of effectiveness.
Unfortunately, instead of taking on the issue of stopping the misconduct, GAO's focus was on how TSA "could strengthen oversight of allegations of employee misconduct," the safe issues of process oversight, management of the accusations and data gathering versus digging into the controversial root causes of the actual misconduct.
But, the problems at the TSA runs deeper than an additional layer of oversight would have any hope of reaching. The problem is the culture, for lack of a better word.
In today's TSA, too many officers switch off their minds in favor of just finishing out the shift without rocking the boat. This may be the root cause of the GAO-identified misdeeds. TSA needs to have its officers switched-on and motivated.This isn't just a TSA problem. It can be found in many workplaces, both public and private. The issue here is that TSA agents are entrusted with airport security, something that requires active participation and focus. Motivation comes in many forms, but many entities are content to let "not getting fired" be the primary motivator.
What Hawley is proposing goes against the grain of agency thinking, and that itself is an almost insurmountable hurdle.
Security officers are in the best position to use their experience and training and detect a threat not covered in the Standard Operating Procedure. Al Qaeda knows the rules and designs its attacks to comply with it. To stop attacks, officers thinking on their own needs to be encouraged, not disciplined.This is a good idea, albeit one extremely difficult to implement at this point, hence the agency's preference to focus on surface layer issues. What would ease this transition to a reliance on critical thinking, rather than a reliance on multitudinous, ever-shifting policies, would be to strip back the agency back to the pre-9/11 version of airport security.
Once officers are allowed to think for themselves, it opens the door for mistakes and criticism. But people can be taught the fundamentals of risk management, which provides a framework for making informed judgments.
Obviously, not everything could be rolled back, but much of it could be streamlined in a way that makes the process less of a chore for both passengers and TSA agents. With much of the mission creep bulldozed, agents would be forced to rely more on critical thinking than on the simplistic yes/no binary of policies. Hawley suggests as much, suggesting improvements like removal of the intrusive pat-down process and drastically cutting the prohibited items list.
Trusting your employees to make the right decisions is extremely hard for most companies, much less government agencies. The TSA may never reach the point that it does, considering it's already hampered by a mindset that views most Americans with suspicion. But if it were able to make this change, the end result would be an optimized security force. Those who can't work without the safety net of "policy" would depart, either voluntarily or otherwise. Those that remained would be active participants in their own job, rather than having to be nothing more than the embodiment of inflexible policies, most of which were written as a reaction to a previous incident, rather than crafted with the future in mind.
But, again, it must be pointed out (as it has been here and other places), if Hawley has so many great ideas on overhauling the TSA, why wasn't any of this implemented during his stint at the controls? Hindsight may offer astounding clarity, but it's of little use to the public on the receiving end of a more than a decade's worth of bad policies.

Key Principles for Success
Your workouts must be 25 minutes or less, and you must train at maximum intensity.
Researchers have found that long, slow cardio such as using the treadmill or the elliptical stresses the body and causes you to produce harmful fat storing hormones. On top of that, doing long endurance workouts cause an increase in muscle loss and can quickly damage your natural fat burning metabolism, which I'll explain more in detail in the video above.
You need to use a specific sequence of compound bodyweight exercises.
This will not only prevent muscle loss, but also increase lean, athletic muscle growth that'll boost your natural metabolism. These exercises need to target multiple muscle groups at the same time, so you can develop a balanced muscular structure that will help you keep your entire body lean.

5 Overlooked Home Areas to Automate
It's always good to think outside the box, especially
when it comes to your home. After all, who wants to
live in a cookie-cutter kind of abode? Having an automation
system installed in your home is a good first step to
creating a house that'll have the whole neighborhood
buzzing. Driving by sophisticated processors and able
to be programmed by a professional custom electronic
professional, an automation system can manage, control
and communicate with just about anything with an electronic
few of the first items people think about automating
are the lights and thermostats. This makes a lot of
sense, certainly. But remember—also try to think
outside the box. You can tie in windows and weathervanes,
gates and gas fireplaces. Of course, the more you include
the more time your pro will have to spend programming
your system. It could really start to add up, so be
sure there's a real benefit behind your ideas.
Need a little fresh air? By adding a motorized crank
(check out www.wintrol.com) to your windows you can
take advantage of a cool breeze without lifting a finger.
Your automation system can open and shut the windows
at predetermined times of day. Add a moisture sensor
to the setup and they can close automatically at the
first drop of rain.
An electronic weather station (see www.weatherhawk.com)
can measure the current weather conditions and feed
that information to your home automation system. All
kinds of cool things can happen: the windows can shut
if it's too cold, the sprinklers can turn off
if its raining, the AC can kick on when there's
high humidity.
Melting System: There's no need to flip a switch
to melt the snow of your driveway and sidewalks. When
the weather station detects snow, it can signal your
home automation system which, in turn, can activate
the snow melting system (www.warmzone.com).
Fireplace: Handheld remotes are available with many
models of gas fireplaces (www.fireplacesnow.com), but
you can also have them turn on and off automatically
based on certain conditions. If the room temperature
falls below a certain level, the fireplace can kick
on, for example. You can also weave the fireplace into
your daily routines. Per commands from your automation
system, it can turn on every morning at 7, then turn
off when you set your security system.
A motorized gate (www.mightymule.com) at the end of
the driveway is both elegant and provides a good level
of protection. When it's under the control of
an automation system, it'll always be the right
position. You can have your automation system open and
close the gate based on the time of day or whenever
you hit the PARTY button on a home automation keypad.

Mt. Airy resident Gaille "Gypsy Heart" Hunter ("I added an extra 'l' to my name so it would be different from everybody else's") is just your basic Renaissance woman: cabaret singer, classical singer, artist, published poet and college psychology professor — and all at a high level of proficiency and achievement.
Gaille, who requested that her age not be mentioned, will perform "Jazz Standards" with pianist Andy Trackman, also of Mt. Airy (he is also an administrator for the Community Development Corporation), on Thursday, June 27, 5 to 6 p.m., at Town Hall, 5928-65 Germantown Ave., between Rittenhouse and Haines Streets. And there was a book signing for her poetry book, "My Velvet Pillow," at the Rising Sun Medical Center, 7210 Rising Sun Ave., last Friday, June 14.
"The true reward of creativity," she insisted, "is being able to express yourself. If you can also be successful in a monetary way, that is icing on the cake."
Gaille has written her own "Smooth Blues" repertoire with local musician Ed Wise producing her tracks and charts. ("He's phenomenal," she said.) She will be performing with Vernon Lewis' Milennium 04 Big Band at the Clef Club, 738 S. Broad St., on Sunday, June 23, 2:30 p.m., and Dennis Sigovich's Big Horn Jazz Band at Johnny Brenda's in the near future. And for the last two years, she has performed her original smooth blues at two vegan Sunday Brunch venues, 7165 Lounge in Mt. Airy and Cafe at the Mills in East Falls.
Perhaps Gaille's most significant accomplishment, however, was a CD she made after the 9/11 catastrophe called "City of Hope" with highly regarded producer Bolden Abrams of the Coffee and Cream Studio in Germantown. She wrote five of the 13 songs on the album. The observation deck at Ground Zero was opened to the public on Dec. 30, 2001, and on that day Gaille went to the observation deck and gave away 100 of her CDs filled with inspirational songs.
"I knew that New York needed hope and could only recover and heal with hope," explained Hunter, "and I just wanted to make whatever small contribution I could to help produce that hope. The overall reaction was very receptive. Only one or two people would not take the CD. Of course, I was unable to observe anyone listening to it, so I can just hope it had a positive effect on those who did listen to it afterwards."
The youngest of three children, Gaille was born in Roxborough Memorial Hospital and grew up on Hortter Street in Mt. Airy. Her father was a porter at Sears & Roebuck and a waiter at Cedarbrook Country Club. With a stay-at-home mom who once sang with famed gospel singer Clara Ward, a brother six years her senior and a sister four years her senior, Gaille led a relatively sheltered life.
She took piano lessons at home for two years and later took lessons at school. She sang in her church choir, in the All-City Choir and the choir at Girls High School. "I always found Mozart's choir music extremely good for my voice," said Gaille, who received a BA in voice in 1988 from the University of the Arts. In the late '70s she took painting, drawing and art history classes at Pasadena City College and has taken classes in Philadelphia at the Fleischer Art School.
The Mt. Airy resident also has a master's degree in education from Temple University and is currently working on a doctorate in Educational Psychology at Temple University researching Visitor Studies and how the public is being educated about a new 21st century lifestyle.
Hunter also teaches Psychology at Kaplan Career Institute in Broomall and Penn State Abington, and she taught Intellectual Heritage Mosaics at Temple for two years and Art Education for a year at the Tyler School of Art. Her psychology studies have obviously made Gaille introspective about her creative outlets.
"Most of us develop a facade to interface with the world," she observed. "It protects us from the cruelties we encounter day to day. Sometimes I feel like an oyster unable to stand up to reality without my shell of armor. I think some people do not engage in artistic expression because they cannot expose their oyster. They've protected themselves so well, even against themselves."
The first exhibit of Gaille's paintings was in February, 2002, at the October Gallery, Philadelphia's premier African American gallery. As a member of Woodmere Art Museum, she showcased "Knowledge" in the 2004 Summer Members Exhibit. She has also exhibited her work at the Ellen Powell-Tiberino Museum in Powelton Village (founder and acclaimed artist Joe Tiberino has been a major supporter of her work); Cathedral Village in Andorra exhibited her "Silhouette Children" paintings (although the children in the paintings are in silhouette, many observers commented that the children have as much expression as if their facial features were visible), and the Carol Schwartz Gallery in Chestnut Hill has shown some of her works. Her most recent exhibits were at an unnamed venue at 39th and Lancaster that ended June 14 and at the "Flying Kite" (online magazine) floating exhibit in Germantown in February.
Gaille has also produced three books of poetry, "These are the Keys," "My Velvet Pillow" and "The Best of Both Worlds." Several of her poems have been published in college literary magazines and on the internet, and she has written children's stories as well.
"I did not have a lot of fun growing up or as an adult," Gaille revealed. "I concentrated on my education and musical endeavors to develop my voice, but I am on a quest now to fill my sacred vessel with my spiritual eye and ears and then empty it into my artwork. When I write a poem or a song or paint a picture, I'm fulfilling a responsibility to the universe to return the nurturance it has graciously afforded me."

The US Supreme Court recently ruled that White firemen were unreasonable denied promotions in New Haven, CT when tests were set aside for promotions because they adversely excluded Blacks from promotions due to generally lower test scores.
The ruling was a victory for those who view affirmative action as "reverse discrimination" or "reverse racism" though many of them perhaps are unaware of the reality of historical White privilege in America, or perhaps they are aware and desire to maintain their privilege.
The question must be asked among Black Americans is has the collective condition of Black America improved since affirmative action has been instituted? If not, then why?
Though there are more Black professionals than 50 years ago, it appears that the condition of Black America is in worse shape currently.
My father told me that he was trained that if you want to get ahead, you need to work twice as hard as White people. This mentality bred supermen and superwomen in the Black community. This mindset linked one's striving for excellence in both personal and community sense and not waiting for any special breaks as the primary path towards success. This is an Islamic teaching.
G-d does not change a condition of a people until they bring about change their inner-selves/psyches. [Al-Qur'an 13.11]
Is there a reward for excellence except excellence? [Al-Qur'an 55.60]
"Surely G-d loves that when a servant [of His] endeavors anything, he seeks to perfect it," said the Prophet Muhamamd.
The Qur'an speaks of two forms of oppression that should be challenged, which are outward and inward. There is no doubt that the residual effects of slavery and White supremacy still manifest themselves in the American socio-political order despite our having a Black president in this mythical age of "post-racialism." However, what troubles Black America most today is internal oppression, not external. As long as Black activists and preachers focus more attention on preserving the status quo such as affirmative action or requesting reparations than addressing what Dr. Na'im Akbar has labeled our collective "insanity", no amount of legislation in the world can help Black America. This is where Muslims need exemplify leadership in Black America.
The mystics have a saying, "Whoever knows himself, as most certainly known his Lord." Meaning that if a person examines himself sincerely, he/she should come to some conclusion. He/she should conclude the following:
1. I am not infallible
2. My best independent thinking in many instances has not led me to successful results.
3. I am beneath He who created me.
4. I must depend on His guidance for success in this world and in the next life.
Thus, Muslims, who understand this concept, need to be at the forefront in challenging the collective social norms within Black America through raising awareness and presenting an alternative modality to what is generally viewed as normative.
This alternative modality, despite some of its theological flaws, was presented during the lifetime of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad while he led the Nation of Islam (NOI). The NOI exhibited a viable alternative to Black morality and ethics, which addressed many of the issues that plague a large percentage of Blacks.
Al-Islam has the answer to fixing the pervasive nature of out of wedlock child births (currently 7 out of 10 Black children) and the serve as a shield from commercialism, gross materialism and anti-social aspects within pop culture, which helps fuel this pathological. Al-Islam has socio-political measures to bring Black America out of economic and political immaturity within the American democracy to raise her up to par and above what is deemed as productive.
It is Muslims who have to step forward and led by example to serve as an alternative mind to what intrinsically unacceptable in man's nature (Al-Fitrah).
Without intense internal repair within the Black psyche, affirmative action can not further raise up the educational and economic opportunities for Blacks in a meaningful way. The incarnation rates will increase, drug abuse will increase, and depravity will increase for the masses while some will thrive.
One thought on "More thoughts on how affirmative action is not the primary solution to the ills of Black America"
assalamu `alaykum wa rahmatullah
Affirmative action is not the be-all/end-all solution to the centuries of systematic disenfranchisement which white people have inflicted on people on colour in this land. It was supposed to be *part* of the solution. The problem is that we white people patted ourselves on the back for tossing a few crumbs as blacks, Latinos, and other disenfranchised people and then went about the business of dismantling affirmative action and clinging privileges which we have assigned to ourselves for hundreds of years. I believe that affirmative action has mitigated the damage which we have inflicted. I also believe that more – much more – needs yet to be done.

Yes, home prices are increasing in most of the country. But a $650,000 spike in just a few days?
That's the markup on a three-family townhouse in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn in New York City. The brownstone sold in mid-February for $1.2 million, then was listed about a week later, on Feb. 21, for $1.85 million, or 54% more, according to the listing agent, Ban Leow, of Halstead Properties, in a phone interview with MarketWatch. And prospective buyers are bidding above the asking price, he added.
Granted, some improvements have been made on the property in the few days since it was purchased by the current owner, a developer—with all cash, Leow said. But perhaps the more important detail of this story is that the home was sold in an estate sale by heirs who appear to have let the property go for considerably less than market value.
The New York real-estate website Brick Underground reported that the previous owner was the now-deceased Glencora Smith, who bought the property with her husband with a $15,500 mortgage in 1969. Brick Underground's writer, Leigh Kamping-Carder, talked with Jonathan Miller, president of appraisal firm Miller Samuel, about the factors that could lead a family to sell for cheap. In some cases, heirs want a quick sale or a quick closing, or will accept less money in an all-cash deal. It's also possible that the price was agreed upon long before the deal closed, or that the heirs weren't familiar with the local market—one of the hottest in fast-gentrifying Brooklyn.
Leow told MarketWatch that the property wasn't publicly listed before his client bought it—suggesting that the sellers may not have had a chance to learn what the market would bear. "As far as I know, this was a deal done through the attorney, based in New York," he said.
And what an investment it was. As Kamping-Carder's piece points out, this property–built in 1899–has many antique details, including intricate woodwork, stained glass and carved stair railings. "You could imagine peering out the wood-framed bay windows at horse-drawn carriages or women in ball gowns sashaying beneath the chandelier," she writes. The owner's duplex is on the ground and first floor; the brownstone also has two rental units.
"A lot people…want to have a brownstone that's not the shell of a brownstone that is completely gutted," but one that has some of these original characteristics, Leow said. "When something like this comes up, they pounce on it immediately."
Did Glencora Smith's heirs know this? Who knows? Regardless, this tale serves as a good reminder to the rest of us: When you inherit a property—especially in an improving real-estate market—don't underestimate its worth.

Directed by an expert pulmonologist/sleep physician, the Spaulding Sleep Center features the latest digital data acquisition technology for the diagnosis and treatment of a range of neurologic and respiratory sleep disorders including obstructive sleep apnea, central sleep apnea, narcolepsy, and periodic leg movement disorder. State-of-the-art evaluations at the Sleep Center include a comprehensive range of tests.
Our standard, full polysomnographic sleep study includes four channel EEG; EKG; leg, chin, and eye EMG; abdominal and thoracic respiratory effort; quantified snoring; oral-nasal air flow; nasal pressure; and pulse oximetry. Our experts use protocols to determine the best level of PAP (positive airway pressure) if you should need PAP (positive airway pressure) therapy.
The attractive furnishings and comfortable atmosphere of the Sleep Center set it apart from most other sleep labs. Making you comfortable helps to minimize the normal stress that many patients experience before undergoing medical testing.
Prior to the study you will be mailed a questionnaire and directions to the Sleep Center. You will be asked to arrive at the sleep center on the evening of your evaluation. You should check in with the concierge in the lobby who will direct you to the Sleep Center. You will fill out a night questionnaire and be fitted for a nasal or face mask in case you need it during the study.
During the night, in the relaxed atmosphere of our Sleep Center, your sleep patterns will be carefully monitored. You may be treated with PAP or oxygen therapy. The next morning, after you shower and dress, you will be asked to fill out a morning questionnaire and given a voucher to exchange in the cafeteria for breakfast. Our Sleep Center staff intends for you to leave as refreshed as possible, and with a positive feeling about your experience.
The diagnostic suites at Spaulding Outpatient Center Cambridge are equipped with television, private shower, and comfortable bed.

Scheduling can be also be arranged by calling the Sleep Center at: 617-952-6871. Our sleep study scheduler will then contact you to schedule the study, and will confirm your appointment within a week of the study.
Health insurance plans (for instance BCBSMA, HMOs, Medicare, Medicaid) usually cover sleep evaluations, as prescribed by a physician. The Spaulding Sleep Center scheduler will assist you in verifying coverage for an evaluation in the Sleep Center.
Analysis of Your Personal Sleep Data
Data recorded during your Sleep Center stay is gathered by our expert technicians, scored and summarized, and then interpreted by a pulmonologist/sleep physician. We are pleased to offer a short turnaround for reading and report test and evaluation results. All results are placed on Partners LMR (electronic medical record) with the results faxed and emailed to your ordering and primary care physicians. If PAP therapy is recommended, your physician will need FAX a prescription and a copy of the sleep study to a home care company.

The Talon Hard Shell Case for iPhone 4, this version with beautiful artistic print finish, is an extremely affordable way to both protect and personalize your iPhone 4. Ally already looked at the solid color versions, and these are the same except for the artistic prints:
- Contempo Tree, with colorful leaves on a white background
- Midnight Tree, with bright red on pitch black, and
- Starry Night, with impressionist swirls on a purple sky.
Compared to more expensive cases the Talon doesn't have the same level of fit and finish. The edges are somewhat rough. The plastic also isn't particularly durable. If you put it on and leave it on, you wont have any issues. If you want to take it off and put it on repeatedly, you might crack it. (Though for $15 you could buy several).
Since the case goes all the way around to the front, you can put your iPhone 4 face down without worrying about scratching your precious screen. It also goes all the way around the dock port so you might have trouble with thicker 3rd party cables like car adapters.
Overall, just like Ally said, the Talon Hard Shell Case for iPhone 4 is a great way to add fun and color to your device for under $15. It's available now from the TiPb iPhone 4 accessory store.
- Extremely affordable
- Beautiful designs
- Good protection
- Poor finish on edges
- Materials aren't durable
- Difficult to remove
This case is all about looks and in that category it delivers in spades. However it lacks in the durability department. Then again, don't they say it is better to look good than feel good?

Desks In the Bedroom
If I were to emphasize the "therapy" part of Apartment Therapy in my own home, the first step would be to get the home office out of my bedroom. All the experts say the bedroom should be exclusively used for sleeping (and, er, related activities). But the realities of NYC living mean that I do my work, keep my files and pay my bills at a desk right next to my bed. Here are a few bedrooms that successfully integrate a work area … and my own, less successful attempt.
Lots of designer bedrooms include desks, but they are usually used (or at least styled for photos) as vanities or accent furniture. It is very rare that one sees an actual real-life workspace in a bedroom when flipping through a shelter magazine. In fact, most of the shots I found for this roundup were kids' rooms that included a space for doing homework.
I've had trouble making the home office work in my own room (image 5). I suffered through about a year of back pain before finally giving in and replacing my lovely little dining chair with a "sensible" (read: ugly) desk chair. Aesthetically, I kept everything very simple — all solid white and blue, other than my parents' old Persian rug — to counterbalance the inevitable chaos of papers and books. But try as I might, this is as neat as it ever gets. Plus, though I get to look out the window onto a peaceful courtyard and a patch of blue sky, my setup blocks access to the window, and probably also blocks about 30% of the sunlight that could come in …
If you are like me and have a workspace in the bedroom, how do you make it work?

(Heb 13:8)
56. The Church has endured for 2000 years.
Like the mustard seed in the Gospel, she has grown and become a great
tree, able to cover the whole of humanity with her branches (cf. Mt 13:31-32).
The Second Vatican Council, in its Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, thus
addresses the question of membership in the Church and
the call of all people to belong to the People of God: "All are
called to be part of this Catholic unity of the new People of God ... And
there belong to it or are related to it in various ways, the Catholic
faithful as well as all who believe in Christ, and indeed the whole of
mankind, which by the grace of God is called to salvation".(35) Pope
Paul VI, in the Encyclical Ecclesiam Suam illustrates how all mankind
is involved in the plan of God, and emphasizes the various circles of the dialogue of
Continuing this approach, we can also
appreciate more clearly the Gospel parable of the leaven (cf. Mt 13:33):
Christ, like a divine leaven, always and ever more fully penetrates the life
of humanity, spreading the work of salvation accomplished in the Paschal
Mystery. What is more, he embraces within his redemptive power the whole past
history of the human race, beginning with the first Adam.(37) The future also
belongs to him: "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and for
ever" (Heb
13:8). For her part the Church "seeks but a solitary goal: to carry
forward the work of Christ himself under the lead of the Holy Spirit, the
Paraclete. And Christ entered this world to give witness to the truth, to
rescue and not to sit in judgment, to serve and not to be served".(38)
57. Therefore, ever since the apostolic age, the Church's mission has continued
without interruption within the whole human family. The first evangelization took place
above all in the region of the Mediterranean. In the course of the first millennium,
missions setting out from Rome and Constantinople brought Christianity to the whole
continent of Europe. At the same time they made their way to the heart of Asia, as
far as India and China. The end of the fifteenth century marked both the discovery of America
and the beginning of the evangelization of that great continent, North and South.
Simultaneously, while the sub-Saharan coasts of Africa welcomed the light of Christ, Saint
Francis Xavier, Patron of the Missions, reached Japan. At the end of the eighteenth
century and the beginning of the nineteenth, a layman, Andrew Kim, brought Christianity to
Korea. In the same period the proclamation of the Gospel reached Indochina, as well as Australia
and the Islands of the Pacific.
The nineteenth century witnessed vast
missionary activity among the peoples of
Africa. All these efforts bore fruit which has lasted up to the present
day. The Second Vatican Council gives an account of this in the Decree Ad
Gentes on Missionary Activity. After the Council the question of
missionary work was dealt with in the Encyclical Redemptoris Missio, in
the light of the problems of the missions in these final years of our
century. In the future too, the Church must continue to be missionary:
indeed missionary outreach is part of her very nature. With the fall of the
great anti-Christian systems in Europe, first of Nazism and then of
Communism, there is urgent need to bring once more the liberating message of
the Gospel to the men and women of Europe.(39) Furthermore, as the
Encyclical Redemptoris Missio affirms, the modern world reflects the
situation of the Areopagus of Athens, where Saint Paul spoke(40).
Today there are many "areopagi", and very different ones: these
are the vast sectors of contemporary civilization and culture, of politics
and economics. The
more the West is becoming estranged from its Christian roots, the more it is becoming
missionary territory, taking the form of many different "areopagi".
58. The future of the world and the Church
belongs to the younger generation, to those who, born in this
century, will reach maturity in the next, the first century of the new
millennium. Christ expects great things from young people, as he did
from the young man who asked him: "What good deed must I do, to have
eternal life?" (Mt
19:16). I have referred to the remarkable answer which Jesus gave to
him, in the recent Encyclical Veritatis Splendor, as I did earlier,
in 1985, in my Apostolic
Letter to the Youth of the World. Young people, in every situation, in
every region of the world, do not cease to put questions to Christ: they meet him and they keep
searching for him in order to question him further. If they succeed in
following the road which he points out to them, they will have the joy of
making their own contribution to his presence in the next century and in the
centuries to come, until the end of time: "Jesus is the same yesterday,
today and for ever".

The note is isolated for silk dealers, but not in the larger context of Florence's relation to regulating card-playing, per Pratesi's research:Huck wrote: For 1437 we have ...Simone di Ser Antonio Fazi (likely father of Antonio di Simone, who often worked for the silk dealers) sold 4 expensive decks for 20 Soldi each to the silk dealers at 1437-11-02. The note stands very isolated, as there are no records at all in 1433, 1434, 1435, 1436 and 1438 in the known account books of the silk dealers.
Outside of the proscription against specific modes of card-playing, Borgo San Lorenzo is significant in being the largest town in the Medici homeland of the Mugello. From this it might be inferred an interest on the part of the Medici in controlling how their most loyal minions would relate to cards. And then of course we have to consider if there is any relationship between the 'isolated' production of an expensive deck in the 1430s (for whom? a significant enough of a recipient that the Medici would have taken an interest?) and the law passed in the same year; just a coincidence?Borgo San Lorenzo....In 1428 it is regretted that a card game named "alla condennata" is becoming the fashion of the village and it is prohibited as dice games. In 1437 naibi are explicitly prohibited with the exception of the "standard" game of alla diritta e alla torta."
[Further on Pratesi adds, I believe relevant for the above incidence:]
"Here the best game is 'alla diritta o alla torta; the worst, and the most frequently named, is certainly the 'condennata'. http://trionfi.com/card-playing-laws-florence
The most notable events in 1437 seemed to have happened late in the year - 18 September 1437, Pope Eugene pronounced the dissolution of the Council of Basel and summoned the fathers to Ferrara and 9 December 1437 Emperor Sigismund died.

Goat milk as an additive to skin care products has long been used to sooth and solve skin issues. Raw goat milk in high in vitamins and minerals, in particularly vitamin A, which aids in repairing damaged skin. It is also naturally rich in caprylic acid, which soothes and rejuvenates skin. Lactic acid (an alpha-hydroxy acid) is also present in goat milk which removes dead skin cells and is believed to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. Goat milk soap is very gentle on the skin and is perfect for people who suffer from eczema, delicate, or dry skin. We have our own goat milk and one way of dealing with excess milk is to freeze it and later use it in body products such as this.
Soap-making is a skill everyone should learn. It is easy, fun, environmentally friendly, economical and practical. Once I began making soap, I soon discovered that you can replace the water in any recipe with goat milk, 1:1. This allowed me to use my own goat milk to create recipes and products of high quality for a very low cost.
This recipe is a simple one. Coconut oil, sustainably-produced palm oil and olive oil are all easy to find ingredients. You can substitute the goat milk for plain distilled water if you wish.
This recipe is meant as an ingredient list and basic directions for experienced soap-makers. Click here for a complete photo tutorial with explicit directions.
Here is the recipe:
•26.5 oz. Olive oil Pomace
•16.5 ounces Coconut oil
•10 oz. Sustainably sourced Palm Kernal oil
•209 grams Lye
•2.7 oz. Essential oils of your choice
•20 oz. goat milk frozen in ice cube sized chunks.
- Prepare your mold.
- Combine and melt olive oil, coconut oil and palm oil to 115F.
- VERY slowly, pour measured lye into semi-thawed (slushy) goat milk. Stir constantly. Measure temperature constantly. If milk heats up too fast it will turn orange and scorch, so do this step very slowly. Ideally you will get your lye mixture up to about 115F.
- Combine lye mixture with oils when temperatures are the same (between 105-115F).
- Using a stick blender, blend combination until product reaches trace.
- Add any essential oils, dried herbs etc at trace.
- Pour into mold. Cover mold with either plastic wrap or cardboard.
- Cover with towels to prevent cooling too quickly.
- 24 hours later, cut into bars.
- Set bars on towel in warm, dry location away from direct sunlight. Let them "saponify" for at least 4 weeks.
*Most ingredients can be found in natural health food stores and/or soap making supply stores. Alternatively, ingredients can be ordered online from Mountain Rose Herbs: "Exceptional quality certified organic herbs and spices, with a strict emphasis on sustainable agriculture."

How to start a mobile apps business
Combine sky-high downloads with impressive revenue. Read our guide to cracking the apps market
Useful links:
- What is a mobile apps business and who is it suited to?
- Investing in your app
- The apps development stage
- What platforms to use for your app business
- Pricing strategy for your app
- Growing your app venture
- Tips and advice for mobile app business
- Useful business contacts
Thinking of starting up a business in mobile applications? Funnily enough, like anything else you care to name, there's an app for that.
Search the App Store, Android Market et al, and you'll find plenty of examples: there are applications that offer app development code tutorials; apps that enable you to test your idea through market research; and even more applications that allow you to submit your mobile app idea to developers. Then, there are applications that help you keep track of sales once you've launched your mobile app…
With more than 225,000 apps to choose from on Apple's App Store, tens of thousands on Android Market, and other platforms such as Blackberry, Nokia and Windows Mobile doing their darnedest to catch up, mobile apps is a growing area if ever there was one. It's a crowded and competitive marketplace too, however, and not an easy one to break. While it's true anyone can develop an app, and many get brought to market, very few mobile app businesses actually make any money.
What is it and am I suited?
Since the launch of the iPhone in 2007 and the resultant boom in smart phones, mobile apps have become the hot spot for new businesses. As Tristan Celder of Zolmo (the developers behind Jamie Oliver's iPhone app which won top prize at the Apple Design Awards winner) puts it, the mobile app industry is "a lot like the music business. It's all about the Top 40." It's dog eat dog, and things move very quickly.
To top the charts, you need a good idea, for sure. But you don't need to be an expert developer yourself. It's a business like any other: you have to work hard to create a decent app and you need to know your market.
Building a website for your business idea is easier than you might think. Our online tool ranks the top website builders that offer free trials.
In the UK, the most popular apps change all the time. Everything from throwaway gaming to retail, social networking and education gets a look in. Stand out successes range from gimmicks such as iPint from Carling and World Cup favourite Vuvuzela, to giants such as GoogleMaps and Facebook. There's a world between them all: so what do the chart toppers have in common?
Our case studies, Jamie's 20 Minute Meals, Tweetdeck, Touchnote and The App Factory, have seen varying degrees of success in the mobile app market. They are very different businesses, each with their own approach to development; to monetising their product; and to growing their venture. But what marks each out as a special case is the solid business thinking behind them:
- Jamie's 20 Minute Meals: a made-to-measure paid for app with celebrity credentials
- Tweetdeck: a free social networking app with big business funding
- Touchnote: a free-to-download app linked with a mobile provider
- TheAppFactory.co.uk: a self funded early stage app development agency and publisher

Kate Walsh Gets Naked For Shape Magazine
Kate Walsh, the star of ABC's 'Private Practice,' is one of the hottest actresses and has been making us drool since her 'Grey's Anatomy' days. She finally bares all (we've been waiting) for the cover of Shape Magazine's March issue.
At 44-years-old, if we look as good as Kate, we're going to pose nude too. We'll be waiting for the call Shape. Kate appears on the cover without anything on, except a massive diamond ring, which is pretty damn distracting. Just kidding. It took us twenty minutes to even realize it was on her finger.
We aren't regular readers of Shape, but we are seriously thinking of picking up this issue for the, uh, articles.

Graduate Faculty: Chng, Collins, Goggin, Goodwin, Greenleaf, Hill, Hodges, Jackson, Keller, Martin, McKenzie, Morrow, Patton, Stork, Weiller.
The Department of Kinesiology, Health Promotion and Recreation offers graduate programs leading to the following degree:
The degrees offered and the career opportunities afforded by the degrees are outlined in the program descriptions below.
Applicants for admission into the department's graduate programs are expected to have the following qualifications to obtain unconditional admission:
1. a bachelor's degree from an accredited institution;
2. a minimum 2.8 (on a 4.0 scale) grade point average (GPA) overall or at least a 3.0 during the last 60 hours of undergraduate work; and
3. acceptable scores on the Graduate Record Examination (GRE), Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT) or the Miller Analogies Test (MAT). Contact the department or the Toulouse School of Graduate Studies for standardized admission test requirements. In addition, international students need a TOEFL score of at least 550 (paper version) or 213 (computer version).
Students not meeting these admission requirements are permitted to appeal to the College of Education Graduate Affairs Committee.
The GRE requirement must be successfully met during the first term/semester at UNT. Students will not be permitted to take additional graduate classes until they fulfill this requirement. Therefore, it is strongly suggested that students complete this requirement before enrolling at UNT.
The CSPPE is a multidisciplinary center devoted to offering sport psychology interventions, research and training. The center combines the expertise of faculty in psychology and kinesiology to produce the most comprehensive and state-of-the-art sport psychology services available.
The primary purposes of the program in kinesiology are to provide students with an understanding of basic research methodology; to acquaint students with the professional literature, trends and research being conducted in kinesiology; and to enable students to take electives in an area of interest, such as sport psychology, exercise physiology, health/fitness management, motor behavior and teacher behavior.
Career opportunities for graduates are generally found in the private sector with health clubs, wellness centers, corporations, rehabilitation centers, athletic groups and other private groups; or within the teaching profession as teachers, coaches, athletic trainers and administrators.
Current research in kinesiology includes the study of overtraining and burnout, mental health benefits of physical activity, and exercise and fitness in special populations. Other projects include the study of anxiety and motor performance, mental preparation strategies and maximum performance, central versus peripheral cardiovascular adjustments to exercise, measurement and evaluation of physical fitness, age and physical activity and fitness, sociological profiles of sport consumers, regional commercial sport development, gender-sport issues in the 21st century, job characteristics and work production of sport/fitness personnel, and professional preparation of high school and college teachers.
Financial support for the research programs comes from internal faculty research grants and instructional grants, as well as external funding agencies.
The Master of Science 36-hour degree includes a 15-hour core curriculum of courses in kinesiology. The student takes 21 hours of additional course work (which may include thesis) that allow development of an interest area such as sport psychology, exercise physiology, health/fitness management, motor behavior, sport sociology and teacher behavior.
1. 36 semester hours are required.
2. All students will complete a 15-hour core of graduate courses in kinesiology.
3. The remaining 15-21 hours will be electives approved by the major professor with no more than 6 hours outside of KINE.
4. Thesis students will complete KINE 5950 (6 hours).
5. Master of Science candidates who select the non-thesis option are required to successfully complete a culminating experience consisting of (1) a comprehensive examination or (2) a graduate project (enroll in KINE 5190). If choosing the comprehensive examination, it must be taken after a minimum of 24 hours including all KINE core courses. A student who fails the comprehensive examination must wait until the next administration of the exam. This will delay the student's graduation.
The Master of Science degree program with a major in recreation and leisure studies is designed to prepare students for management-level positions within the leisure service field or the therapeutic recreation area, or for further graduate work in recreation and leisure studies.
Career opportunities include leadership and management positions in various agencies such as municipal recreation departments, not-for-profit agencies, resorts, military bases, commercial recreation enterprises, sport facilities, schools, hospitals and rehabilitation centers, long-term care facilities, state or federal agencies, parks, outdoor education centers, camps, YMCAs, intramural and campus recreation programs, corporations and fitness clubs.
Research emphases of the recreation and leisure studies faculty include the examination of antecedents to leisure, the benefits and consequences of leisure, the assessment of leisure functioning, the administration of leisure services, the barriers or constraints to leisure and the future of leisure in society. The faculty also conduct research on various methods and techniques used in professional practice. Specific research examples include older adults' health and well being, disability and sport, organizational behavior, administration of leisure services, human resources, and recreation and leisure opportunities for disenfranchised and under-represented groups.
Financial support for research programs is generated by the faculty from internal university resources and external grants and contracts.
The graduate program in recreation and leisure studies provides a 36-hour Master of Science degree, with opportunities for students to take course work in program management and therapeutic recreation.
Applicants for admission into the recreation and leisure studies graduate program must submit a current resume and a typewritten statement of purpose describing their reason(s) for seeking graduate study in recreation and leisure studies. In addition, two letters of reference pertaining to the applicant's aptitude for graduate work are required. These materials should be sent to the recreation and leisure studies program coordinator.
Students without an undergraduate degree in recreation, parks, or leisure studies are required to take up to 9 hours of prerequisite or corequisite course work.
Every student is required to take 15 hours of core courses:
Students with a career interest in program management take the following 9 hours of elective courses: RECR 5060, 5080 and 5850. Students with a career interest in therapeutic recreation take the following
9 hours of elective courses: RECR 4760, 5130 and 5870.
Both thesis and non-thesis options are available. Students selecting the thesis option will register for 6 hours of thesis credit (RECR 5950) and will complete a 6-hour minor. Students selecting the non-thesis option will register for RECR 5110 and will complete a 9-hour minor. Non-thesis students will complete a written comprehensive examination appropriate to the selected interest area.
Students with no work experience in recreation and leisure services and those preparing for certification in therapeutic recreation with no prior therapeutic recreation internship will be required to complete RECR 5860 as a deficiency (does not count on the degree plan).
An area of emphasis (6-9 hours) to complete the 36-hour program is selected in consultation with the graduate adviser. Recommended areas of emphasis include public administration, sociology, computer science, education, business, psychology, rehabilitation studies, gerontology, kinesiology and health promotion.
The program in recreation and leisure studies is accredited by the National Recreation and Park Association/American Association of Leisure and Recreation Council on Accreditation [22377 Belmont Ridge Road, Ashburn, VA 20148: (703) 858-0784].
The program in health promotion seeks to improve personal and community health through its educational, research and service programs.
Graduates of the program are employed in a wide range of school and community health settings; public health departments; voluntary organizations; corporate and other work-site settings; health-care environments; federal, state and local agencies; professional health organizations; hospital-based health programs; commercial health promotion settings; and elementary and secondary schools.
Current research of the faculty in the health promotion program includes investigations of the impact of HIV/AIDS on dating and sexual behavior, study of issues of sexuality, epidemiological analysis of the psychosocial determinants of health behavior among school children and cross-cultural correlates of health promotion. Other research includes the study of a socio-psychological perspective on health, especially the effects of stress and divorce on mortality and morbidity. Faculty includes Research Fellows of National Health Promotion Societies.
Financial support for the research programs comes from internal faculty research grants and instructional grants, as well as external funding agencies.
Program is not accepting students.
The program offers a Master of Science degree that emphasizes the scientific base of community and school health, and the investigation of community health-related problems. This degree allows pursuit of special academic interests, yet requires a core of study in school and community health-related issues.
All Courses of Instruction are located in one section at the back of this catalog.
The "Course and Subject Guide," found in the Courses of Instruction section of this book, serves as a table of contents and provides quick access to subject areas and prefixes.

Malcolm HiggsThough presently living in Surrey, Malcolm is rooted in the Scottish Highlands. Painting and selling though Europe and beyond, he has completed countless commissions specializing in landscape, property and possessions painted to scale.
Having also sold prints from fourteen different paintings, he takes considerable pleasure in knowing his work hangs in countries as far afield as Australia and South Africa.
As an artist I am self taught with no art school background, I did not want to follow the path of the establishment. Rightly or wrongly, I chose the path of my vision. The thoughts behind my work are visualised and not tainted by teaching nor influenced by another party. Many are influenced by the natural beauty of my native Scottish landscapes and waterways. My other occupation as a Stonemason keeps me very much in touch with our natural environment and provides me with unlimited inspiration. Stained glass, tiles and stonework often appear in my paintings. Art truly is an individual sport.
