I grew up in Springfield, Mass., and spent 7 years living in Amherst before moving to the North Shore in 2011.
Prior to serving as The Local Editor for Patch.com's Marblehead and Salem sites, I wrote for The Daily Collegian, The Gardner News and The Daily Hampshire Gazette.
After graduating from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, with a bachelor's degree in journalism, I began my career in Gardner, serving as the City Reporter for The Gardner News.
About a year later, I returned to the Amherst area and began working as a Staff Writer for The Daily Hampshire Gazette, a newspaper based in Northampton.
While at The Daily Hampshire Gazette, I served as a columnist, schools reporter, Easthampton city reporter and covered the cops and courts beat.
In March of 2011, I accepted a Local Editor position with AOL Patch's Marblehead site.
In November 2012, I took over duties as Local Editor of Salem Patch.
I understand the importance of community journalism and have a passion for getting unbiased news out to local readers quickly and accurately.

Greener Groceries
By: Chelsea Delz
Updated: January 2, 2009
This "green grocery" effort is really taking off. The industry was shocked when 600 people showed up for Fridays conference, three times more than they expected.
Grocer Safeway is switching all 1,000 of its trucks to cleaner burning fuel, California may let grocery stores charge 15 cents for a plastic bag, and Sara Lee is planning to build a bakery run entirely by a windmill!
Food companies are realizing being good to the environment is good business. Some of the first changes youll see are packaging. New water bottles will use 30 percent less plastic. Sodas will come in lightweight aluminum cans. More "concentrated" detergents will also fill the shelves. "You can put a lot more of those packages of that detergent thats concentrated on a palette, in a truck, that again has significant savings in the fuel and the transportation," explained the Grocery Manufacturers Associations Cal Dooley.
Campbells, the soup company, is working with farmers. Theyve reduced pesticide use by 50 percent.
Still, there are challenges. Busy consumers want their food packaged individually. That takes more plastic, which is not environmentally friendly.

Who will Obama politically exploit this year with an invitation to sit with his wife Chewbacca?
Fort Hood Hero Says President Obama 'Betrayed' Her, Other Victims
Three years after the White House arranged a hero's welcome at the State of the Union address for the Fort Hood police sergeant and her partner who stopped the deadly shooting there, Kimberly Munley says President Obama broke the promise he made to her that the victims would be well taken care of.
"Betrayed is a good word," former Sgt. Munley told ABC News in a tearful interview to be broadcast tonight on "World News with Diane Sawyer" and "Nightline."
Ah, the Sandy Hook kids and their families are in the audience. Never pass up a chance to exploit a tragedy.
Obama is no different - at all - than any other bullshit politician. It's the people who still "believe" in him who are naive and party motivated. Both political parties spout ideals and ignore the will of the people.
If we had the leaders we had in 1776 they would be calling for revolution to re-establish the ideals with which the country was formed
Thank you

Content strategist Jennie Kim lays out the three components of a winning content strategy and...
Content of Care
In its Healthy People 2010 report, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion defines health literacy as, "the degree to which individuals have the capacity to obtain, process and understand basic health information and services needed to make appropriate health decisions."1 Simply put, health literacy is the ability to read, understand and act on healthcare information, but from diagnoses and prescriptions to appointment slips and self-care instructions, it's anything but straightforward for millions of Americans.
"Nearly half of all adult Americans do not understand their healthcare information," says Aileen Kantor, a social entrepreneur who founded Bethesda, Md.-based Health Literacy Innovations (HLI) to tackle the problem of health illiteracy in the U.S., "and from rising costs, up to $236 billion annually, to poor health outcomes, it's a dangerous and growing public health issue."
While senior citizens, immigrants and the poor are likelier to have trouble processing health-related information, health illiteracy can affect anyone, regardless of age, education or income level. According to the Boston, Mass.-based National Patient Safety Foundation (NPSF), "The majority of those with low literacy skills in the United States are white, native-born Americans."2
Jargon-packed "medicalese" is part of the problem; another is the fear of speaking up. Pharmaceutical giant Pfizer, a health literacy leader, describes a "silent epidemic" of people too ashamed to admit their inability to read or comprehend health information.3
It's a problem that demands plain language solutions, and as some managed care organizations, insurers and other industry players are discovering, simplifying the language and literacy of care is just what the doctor ordered.
Unhealthy Diagnoses
Just as financial illiteracy produces money ills, health illiteracy is a well-documented path to painful outcomes. Dating to the early 1990s, a considerable body of research reveals the troubling association between poor literacy skills and poor, often fatal, health consequences.

Instagram: Pretentious, overused app that purchasing may cause feelings of hipster-ism, false sense of being artistic when taking mobile photos. When used with your mobile device, add grain, "vintage" filters, and corny Polaroid borders, with the utmost laziness. Hipster: Check my Instagram uploads to see multiple shitty pictures of my dog, and food with vintage filters. I consider myself to be a photographer and creative because I purchased an app that millions of other people use. Learn to manipulate photos on photoshop, lighting and ISO settings? Puh-lease.
Photographer: *Dies* |

April 26, 2012 Urban Word of the Day
Every hipster's favorite way to make it look like they take really classy pictures when really they are still using their phones. Yeah, you might look really cute/old school/vintage/retro, but it's still a cell phone picture. Photographer: Hey man, look at this picture I took with my Canon 5D Mark II camera and edited in photoshop!
Hipster: No way man, look at this picture that I took on my phone with instagram! It's even better! Photgrapher: *FACEPALM* |
2. | |||
A popular photo-sharing app flawlessly tailored to the explicit purpose of taking over two decades of technological progress in the realm of mobile digital photography and rendering them utterly worthless via application of appalling "filters" designed to transform the original clarity of images recorded by advanced digital sensors into the mottled likeness of expired film from the 1950's developed in coffee grounds. "Nice photo, Josie, but you really need to clean that screen on your porch, I've never seen one that's so dirty!"
"What do you mean? I was in the middle of the backyard! But if you like the photo, you should check out my other ones on Instagram!" |
4. | |||
The exact amount a wannabe hipster weighs. Person 1:That dude is such a hipster
Person 2: He weighs an instagram |
5. | |||
Something that won't fix your ugly face... Kid 1: Hey, check it out! I just got Instagram.
Kid 2: Well you still look ugly... |
6. | |||
An app that makes your photos look like shit while simultaneously making you happy about it. I can't believe Facebook paid a billion dollars to buy Instagram; a program that makes perfectly good photos look like shit.
"OMG look at my mom's crappy old photos from the 70s... Oh, but check out this Instagram photo of me and Katie at the bar last night." Instagram makes photos more fartsy than artsy. |
7. | |||
A photo editing and sharing app for iphone and ipod touch initially but was brought to android in april '12, and at the same time was bought buy Mark zuckerberg for 1 billion USD, Creating an account to use this app fusses many decent and wise people while the fools are amazed by its little effects that makes their sad pictures look cool and vintage Emo girl: Hey checkout my instagram pics, just uploaded new ones
Straight non metrosexual guy: I'm gonna diss that, you know, i hate all those hos like pics on that app, personally i prefer pixlr-o-matic |

May 27th, 2013
by MONICA Delphie
i hate them. sound quality is okay but the design is flawed. i purchased them the first week they became available. sadly that same week i dropped them and they cracked and split into two parts. the cord has a shortage. i had to purchase another one. WARNING!!! DONT EVER DROP THEM
Awesome, but pricey.
May 12th, 2013
by Chris
These are the best headphones that have ever been seen by or invented by mankind. The colors work great together, it has a great physical look, and they're top quality. I haven't gotten them myself for only one reason, the price. Yes, they are good headphones, but the one and only problem is the price and this completely ruins my chance of getting these.

Color Scheme is Crazy.
March 13th, 2013
by Ray
I have had this before but this color scheme is so crazy I cant stop starting at them. I had an earlier edition of the mixmaster and these sound much better. Not saying the other ones were bad but I feel there is a slight improve on sound. The bass is stronger in this pair. It also seems the structure is better in this pair than my other pair.
BOTTOM LINE YES, I recommend this product
Skullcandy's revamped itself with these new headphones.
January 16th, 2013
by William
I have been on the fence with Skullcandy for awhile, the old line had terrible sound and broke a lot. So I stopped buying. So when I saw these they peaked my interest and I had to have them. I ended up receiving them for Christmas and was very excited when I opened them. The Sound quality is to par with the price range. They look amazing, especially in blue. The mute button is an amazing feature and I use it every time I wear them. They come with two cables, a long dj cable and a shorter cable with a mic. The headphones have two jacks one on each side. The cushions feel like a cloud and the ear pads are very nice. But the only issue with these is the plastic headband. There is a weak point that isn't reinforced as much as the rest. It eventually develops cracks and will completely snap, even from normal use. Fortunately Skullcandy has the best warranty.
BOTTOM LINE YES, I recommend this product

These are crisp, beautiful headphones. They are sylish but there is one problem, the bass isn't loud enough. But I'll get use to them after adapting from beats to Skullcandys.

great headphones
January 2nd, 2013
by Devon
these are hands down thee best headphones out there ive tryed beets by dre and monster and they just do not compare to these. the reason why your ears hurt after listening to them for awile is your ears are ajusting ( pardon my spelling) to the new rounder ear piece take a couple of weeks and your ears wont hurt anymore. but the are awesome
Needs beter padding

I must say these are the best headphones ive ever heard. Beats by dre studio headphones sound HORRIBLE compared to these headphones! The mixmasters are so well balanced in sound and sound excelent when listening to any genre of music. They have nice thumping bass that will sound good with any hip-hop song. The bass is powerful enough for people who love bass yet it doesn't interfere with the sound quality of the song. The vocals are clear and crisp as if you were in the studio with the artist. And since Ive been listening to these headphones, ive heard instruments in the background of a song that ive never heard before. Its exactly what the artist entended you to hear. The style of these headphones are great and it has a ton of features for DJ's! And last but not least they don't leak sound and don't let sound in! You could be in a quiet room and the person next to you can barely hear the song at max volume. Or you could be in a club, loud car, or around a lot of traffic and it will drown out all the noise around you! Trust me their worth saving up for... BOTTOM LINE I RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT TO EVERYONE!!
BOTTOM LINE YES, I recommend this product
Best headphones ever!!!

I have tried almost every headphones like Beats by dre and these blew me away. I am a DJ and I have been using these at all my gigs every day. I have been using these for a year now and i had no problems with these. Bass,Vocals and Highs are perfect just like they said in the description.

A critique on my Favorite cans ever.
September 30th, 2012
by Andrew
I absolutely love the sound and design. These are my absolute favorite headphones ever. The features are great, and it's clear that a lot of thought was put into making these an undisputedly incredible set of headphones. They sound great on all levels of the spectrum. The bass has minimal distortion, the mids are bright, and the swivel-mono and mute features were well thought out. Now I'm gonna be nit picky: >There are two places where the Aviators are clearly better: the cable length (not counting the DJ cable) and the ear cup shape. MixMasters are comfortable to wear, but many people don't like having their ears touch the end of the 'ear wells." The cable (with the Mic3) is is too long for a cable made for everyday use with an iPods and laptop. >The top of the headband cracked one day as I was putting them on my head. Definitely need to find a way to prevent that. Ya, lifetime warranty (totally awesome), but I don't want to have to use it within 2 months- ya know? >White. Y'all need to sell a white set of MMs in-house

The Perfect Headphones For Me

by Abraham
Before i got this headphones i want the Beats Pro Detox,but when i prove the Beats in a friend's house they were great but then his brother show me this headphones and just by looking at them i get in love directly for me they are great looking,the sound super good,the bass not so much but i don't look to much on that.................but the best in this headphones is the comfort and looking comfort is super soft and the style is WOW i really don't have words for the style and that's why this headphones are the perfect ones and you'll love them too
BOTTOM LINE YES, I recommend this product
So close to perfect!!!
August 9th, 2012
by Jesse LaJoie
The sound embarrases all the "Beats by dre", "soul by ludacris", "Bose", and every other major brand I have listened to. The sound is flawless, at first I wished they had more bass because its more of a soothing, smooth, but powerful bass. But I later learned that that made for well rounded headphones whether it's country, Rap, Pop, ect.... But if you want them to hit hard, bass boost all your music and it's like two 12's sittin on your ears. The 50mm Mylars are amazing. They'll handle any volume you throw at them without blowing. The cable for these headphones are litreally bombproof! Ive had this same cable for an entire year and it's untouched condition, as to where the "beats by dre" cable would look like a cougar had tried to eat it after a year of use. The style of the Mix master all black is just sick.. There isn't another headphone that can compete with it's clean appearance. Now, the ONE problem with these headphones... after about a year of gentle use, I noticed two small cracks accross my headband. But remember, i used these everyday. But never dropped, scratched, or mistreated them. Overall, these are the best headphones on the market by far.
BOTTOM LINE YES, I recommend this product
Great Headphones
August 7th, 2012
by John
These headphones are great! My only problem is that they are not that loud. But still very good sound quality! Bass is good however not very strong but then again if all you care about is strong heavy bass then Beats By Dre are yours. But These headphones are Super comfortable and very cool! Only hardware problem is that the cord broke in my ipod but skullcandy is going to fix it for me...on hold waiting for them right now about it...
BOTTOM LINE YES, I recommend this product
Exceptional when they aren't broken..
August 6th, 2012
by Jake Chernicky
When I first recieved my MixMasters, I was blown away. The quality was amazing, the sound quality was unparalleled by it's opponents, and the overall package was just perfect. However, it does have it's flaws. After wearing the headphones for an hour, you really start to realize how snug they are. You start to get uncomfortable with them and need a ten minute break. Its a small flaw, but it's still one. The comfort is great for short periods of time. The only other flaw I could find is quite large. One day, I was putting on my MixMasters just like I normally would when I heard a rather loud popping sound. Thats when I knew they cracked. Upon inspection, I found that there were two small cracks in the headband. Keep in mind that I baby these headphones. They still look new. Anyways, I'm just dissappointed by the cracking. I just shipped them back and I am expecting a replacement. Overall, they are very good headphones. I would deffinitly reccommend these. I would of given five stars if they were still solid.

They are good, but not enough. I think that they are a bitt over priced for the quality. They need more base. But the do have good crirstal clear sound. And make a good job on sound leaking. I would reciment this for people that hear clasic music. But I DON'T recocoment this for people that hear rock, rap, ect. Overall nice pair of headphones.
BOTTOM LINE YES, I recommend this product
Great Buy

Overall I am more than satisfied with my Mix Masters. The Sound Quality is far beyond what I expected after having owned multiple Skullcandy headphones. The Dynamics of the sound is amazing, it makes the sound feel as though its around you and not just being pumped right into your ears. You can hear the depth in the music and vocals and highs are crisp and clear. The low mids/bass aren't thumping and vibrating like skullcrushers, but they are clean and precise and you won't miss a note. The memory foam headband and earpads are ludicrously comfortable; in fact as I am typing this I've been wearing my MMM for 3 hours straight and I do not plan on stopping any time soon. I might not be a DJ but I can see the usefulness of the dual inputs, mute button, coil cable, swivel to mono, and replaceable ear pads (that is why they are call "encore pads"). The coil cable is indestructible and feels super high quality. The additional mobile straight cable with Mic3 would be great but the volume controls do not work with my Samsung Galaxy Player. The plug ins are snug and sturdy and the cables are great quality. Cons, these things feel cheap. The polycarbonate (plastic) construction does not feel durable or tough, however I have owned these phones for a good 4 months and after taking some abuse they aren't showing any signs of wear. The aluminum frame holding it all together underneath is lightweight, flexible, and very durable. As far as build quality goes I have to give it a 3.5/5 only because of the plastic. Sound: best I have heard in a long time Comfort: never worn a pair of headphones like them Build quality: meh, but they hold up well Features: great and thoughtful, good for anyone Overall: Best Skullcandies I have owned (Aviators, SK pros, Hesh, Skullcrushers, titans, ink'd, smokin' buds, the fix) , won't replace them for a long time.
BOTTOM LINE YES, I recommend this product

So I received my Red Mix Masters on Friday and wore them on a flight to Miami this morning. I had 3 different people ask me about them. These are one of the hottest looking headphones on the market, and people will notice. I had tried a pair of MM's before but I was pleasantly surprised with the sound isolation, I barely heard the plane take off and when I listened at full volume the person next to me couldn't hear (yeah, I asked). Overall I give these a perfect rating. My only complaint is that Skullcandy didn't come out with cool colors much sooner.
BOTTOM LINE YES, I recommend this product

by Knicks for Life
Well my Knicks Mix Masters just came 2 days ago, since then ive listened for about 15 hours of just music, and then some videos. I was really surprised by the quality of the headphones, they are great. When theres no music playing its pretty easy to hear whats going on around you, but right when the music starts playing its like insane noise cancelling. Also its awesome because i listen to all types of music and the balance of the sounds are amazing. The cushions on the ear cups are also so good, its like melted butter and leather on your ears haha. The only downside is that after probably about an hour i had to take them off and shake off my ears a little, but then the headphones went right back on.
BOTTOM LINE YES, I recommend this product
Fantastic headphone!

I got these headphones a few days ago and was blown away. The sound quality is the best I've heard from any pair of headphones I've ever owned. I have a friend with Beats Studios who came to my apartment earlier and we traded headphones back and forth with different songs and both agreed these sounded way better. She even told me she was jealous!
BOTTOM LINE YES, I recommend this product
The sickest headphones of all time, period.

by Tyler
Just got these in the mail today (had to overnight but oh well). These are the best sounding, best looking, best fitting headphones I've ever used. They weigh much less than the Beats Studio and are more comfortable. The packaging and carrying case are top-notch, definitely going on the shelf!
BOTTOM LINE YES, I recommend this product

I bought these for my wife for Christmas and couldn't resist taking them for a test drive. I'm not into the whole KidRobot dunny thing but I do like the design on the headphones. These headphones sound UNBELIEVABLE, much better than the Beats Studios that I have used for a couple years. No batteries needed, DJ cable and traditional 3.5 cable with mic. The thing I liked the best is the mute button, no need to shuffle for the pause button on the iPhone any longer, simply tap the mute button on the right side of the headphone. Now for the packaging! I was really impressed with the quality and design of the box, we will certainly keep the box as a collectors item.
BOTTOM LINE YES, I recommend this product
Nothing more I could want.

Collaboration is an understatement.

This headset comes packed with our Attacking Bass, Natural Vocals, and Precision Highs – a pure audio experience worthy of any genre. The Mix Master is a salute to modern form and pro-level function, complete with Supreme Sound.Features & Highlights

Our kernels are fresh, high quality, California grown apricot kernels which have not been steamed or cooked and, thus, retain their full complement of natural nutrients. Because of their unusual flavor, many of our customers consider them to be a spice. As with most spices, however, the flavor may not be pleasing when consumed alone or in large quantities. Ground up, they are especially tasty on hot vegetable dishes, fruit, baked potatoes, and soup. They are also great when mixed into cold cereal or yogurt!
B17 occurs in abundance in nature and is bitter to the taste. In man's attempt to improve taste for his own pleasure, he has eliminated bitter substances like B17 by selection and cross-breeding. As a general rule many of the foods that have been domesticated still contain vitamin B17 in that part not eaten by modern man, such as the seeds in apricots.
If you haven't consumed apricot kernels before you should introduce them into your system gradually. As a general rule one kernel per hour for the first few days is adequate for the average person.

St. Andrews University will present former Secretary of the North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources Linda A. Carlisle with The Ethel N. Fortner Writer and Community Award in April.
The invitation only presentation will be made during the weekly Writers' Forum timeslot on April 4.
Created in 1986 to honor Ethel N. Fortner, who was a friend to writers and frequent contributor to the St. Andrews Review, the award has been given to ardent supports of the arts in communities ranging from journalists to activists to publishers. The 2012 award was given to Lisbeth C. Evans, a predecessor of Carlisle's at the Department of Cultural Resources.
Carlisle served as Secretary under Gov. Beverly Perdue beginning in January 2009. Prior to her appointment, Carlisle was a corporate and banking executive, entrepreneur and active community volunteer.
Early in her professional career, she served in a broad range of executive positions with what is now Bank of America. In 1979, she began her own company alongside her husband. After selling the business in 1989, she continued to serve as president of the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fortune 200 Company until her retirement in 1997. After retirement, she expanded her roles and focus on community, educational and political interests.
Carlisle has provided leadership, strategic planning, financial expertise and key resource development with a variety of organizations. She has served on a number of community boards, statewide commissions, and university boards of trustees and was named in January 2012 to the U.S. Travel and Tourism Advisory Board.
While leading the N.C. Department of Cultural Resources, Carlisle has focused on expanding the understanding of the creative economy's impact and contribution to the state's economic environment. Her "Creativity Means Business" message has been credited with a higher profile of creative assets of the state and a broader appreciation of their role in creating a dynamic environment for economic development.
Twice recognized as one of "The Triad's Most Influential People," Carlisle received the 2009 Spirit of Entrepreneur Award from Junior Achievement of Central North Carolina and the 2006 Women in Business Award from the Business Journal.

Changing behavior is important for patient or client success in all practice settings. Physical therapists and physical therapist assistants have long been asking patients and clients to change some of their behaviors, either for the short term or for the long term and for reasons that will improve their functional status or quality of life or prevent decline. A new podcast introduces a series on health behavior change, providing an overview of key theories and models and their value to PTs and PTAs.
A second podcast focuses exclusively on the Transtheoretical Model of Behavior Change, an important and complex model that involves emotions, cognitions, and behavior. This model, relying on self-report, has been applied to a wide variety of problem behaviors including smoking cessation, condom use for HIV protection, the use of sunscreens to prevent skin cancer, and stress management. The podcast provides an example of how the model can be applied to a patient with a shoulder strain due to an injury.
Results of a study that investigated the comparative effectiveness of early use of thrust manipulation (TM) and nonthrust manipulation (NTM) in patients with mechanical low back pain (LBP) suggest that there is no difference between early use of TM or NTM, and, secondarily, that personal equipoise affects study outcome. Intra-group changes were significant for both groups, say authors and APTA members Chad Cook, PT, PhD, MBA, FAAOMPT, Kenneth Learman, PT, PhD, OCS, COMT, Christopher Showalter, PT, OCS, FAAOMPT, Vincent Kabbaz, PT, and Bryan O'Halloran, PT, OCS, SCS.
For this trial, patients aged 18 and older with mechanically reproducible LBP were randomized into 2 treatment groups. The main outcome measures were the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and a Numeric Pain Rating Scale, with secondary measures of rate of recovery, total visits and days in care, and the work subscale of the Fears Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire work subscale.
A total of 149 subjects completed the trial and received care over an average of 35 days. There were no significant differences between TM and NTM at the second visit follow-up or at discharge with any of the outcomes categories. Personal equipoise was significantly associated with ODI and pain.
The deadline to submit nominations to participate in APTA's Innovation Summit 2013: Collaborative Care Models is October 22.
The Summit will bring together innovators and thought leaders from physical therapy, health policy, payment, and other health professions to explore the role of physical therapists in new models of health care delivery and payment. Participation in the Summit will be available to all members through live web streaming. Attendance onsite will be limited to speakers, panelists, and invited attendees, including the member innovators selected through this nomination process.
APTA sections, chapters, and the Student Assembly are each invited to nominate a member who is involved in an innovative model of care to attend the March 7-8, 2013, onsite meeting in Alexandria, Virginia. A panel of member experts will select 20 member innovators to share their innovative practice models as a part of the Summit. Those selected will receive free registration and a stipend for travel and lodging expenses. Chapters and sections whose nominees are selected will receive special recognition during the Summit.
Members involved in innovative models of care or payment may want to contact their chapter or section directly to ask to be nominated to attend the Summit.
Information and nomination materials are available at this link. Components may direct questions about the nomination process to email@example.com.

"Communicating With Older Adults: An Evidence-Based Review of What Really Works," the latest report from The Gerontological Society of America, provides 40 pages of recommended guidelines for health care providers interacting with the fastest-growing age segment of America's population.
The report provides 29 specific recommendations in 4 categories: general tips for improving interactions with older adults, general tips for improving face-to-face communication with older adults, tips for optimizing interactions between health care professionals and older patients, and tips for communicating with older adults with dementia.
Among the specific steps outlined in the report, providers are encouraged to avoid speech that might be seen as patronizing to an older person, verify listener comprehension during a conversation, and pay close attention to sentence structure when conveying critical information.
The recommendations were contributed by experts in the fields of gerontology and communications. Each is accompanied by a brief explanation of the rationale, tips for implementing the recommendation in busy health care settings, and selected references for further reading. The objective is to encourage behaviors that consider the unique abilities and challenges of older adult patients and produce positive, effective interactions among everyone involved.
Encourage your Spanish-speaking patients to visit Ejercicioy estado físico, a comprehensive web resource from MedlinePlus that offers tips on becoming and staying active based on the Department of Health and Human Services' 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans, the latest news on the benefits of physical activity, and information on exercise-specific topics—such as strength training, aerobics, and interval training. Users can find links to a heart rate calculator, food tracker, and calories-burned calculator. Tutorials and videos, information tailored to women, and patient handouts also are available.
The role of family caregivers has dramatically expanded to include performing medical/nursing tasks once only provided in hospitals, says a new report by the AARP Public Policy Institute and the United Hospital Fund. The report is based on a nationally representative population-based online survey of 1,677 family caregivers to determine what medical/nursing tasks they perform.
Almost half (46%) of caregivers performed medical/nursing tasks for family members with multiple chronic physical and cognitive conditions. Three out of 4 (78%) family caregivers who provided medical/nursing tasks were managing medications, including administering intravenous fluids and injections. Caregivers reported finding wound care very challenging; more than a third (38%) wanted more training.
The report reveals the complexity and difficulty of specific tasks, the lack of support and training family caregivers receive, and the effect on their quality of life. It makes 10 recommendations, including:
"No single profession or health care provider is solely responsible for ensuring that family caregivers who take on these daunting responsibilities are trained and supported," the authors write. "This effort requires the coordinated efforts of all sectors—hospitals, home care agencies, community agencies, nursing homes, hospices, and physician and other clinician practices—and a level of teamwork that challenges attitudes and behaviors so firmly entrenched in the current system."

text: North Main Building Demo Closer To RealityWednesday, March 13, 2013 - 4:58 AM Plans are starting to move forward again to demolish some eyesores just north of the Main Street bridge in Findlay. The Courier reports now that more is known on how the Army Corps of Engineers plans to proceed with flood control measures, the demolition of the buildings between 199 and 133 North Main Street is closer to a reality. There had been concerns that tearing down the buildings before hearing from the Ohio Historic Preservation Office could put flood funding at risk. The buildings were put on the historic register in the 1980's, and that has slowed the process. However since early drafts of the flood control plan don't contain flood walls or levees downtown, it could get the process moving again. The preservation office didn't want to take action until flood control plans were a little more clear. Once the demolition is complete, the county plans to leave the land vacant.

Aesthetic Dermatology
The Diagnosis Center in Aesthetic Dermatology was created to answer major concerns of ours at present : how does one age while maintaining a young and healthy skin.• Hormonal factors : oestrogen is known to have a beneficial effect on the collagen production in the skin ; for this reason, menopaused women present with thin skin linked to a decrease of collagen. A lowering of hyaluronic acid content could be linked to the increase of skin dryness and epidermal thinning. For men, one finds similar changes, even though it is less pronounced. This is because their hormonal composition changes than that of women.
• Environmental factors: repeated sun exposure (cumulative effect since childhood), smoking, unbalanced eating and genetic factors can contribute to accelerating the process of skin ageing.
The result of all these factors is loose, non elastic skin, wrinkles and an irregular complexion. At the Diagnosis Center in Aesthetic Dermatology, Laclinic offers modern and precise technology in consultation with a specialist dermatologist, whose experience using cosmetic, aesthetic and personalised interventional treatments help prevent premature ageing.

Tay just needs to be traded to one of the teams in the league that currently has a better record than the Pistons.
People talk about Drummond and continue to clamor for him, not me. Drummond (dating back to high school) is an enigma. Nobody has figured out (including him) how to put this kids talent together, right now he simply does not get it and he is essentially ineffective. Right now Maxiel is better and deserves the time on the floor. Greg Monroe might be the worst defender in our entire 10 man rotation, do you really think he will fair better guarding PF's away from the paint? Paired with a kid who still continues to underperform? The Andre Drummond I saw in the Summer League was the Andre Drummond I saw play at UConn. The Andre Drummond I saw in the pre-season was a player I'd never seen before. The Andre Drummond we're seeing in these first few games is back to the Andre Drummond from UConn, a clueless, under performing, ineffective phenom of a basketball player. That said, I son't care how he does it, but Joe needs to turn Stuckey and Prince into Capp Spayce.
He only played 5 minutes last night. Gotta let a guy make some mistakes or he's going to be over thinking it out there.
I don't see Drummond as a cure all, but I do see him as someone who is big and strong and will go after some rebounds. Just try to get him dunks on offense. Nothing major. He can play that role now.
What exactly do we have to lose by playing Andre Drummond? ...Seriously, someone please explain this to me.
This was suppose to be a break out year. Doesn't even look close. We are paying the price for not fully blowing up the team after 2008 when Sheed said "its over." We are paying the price for bringing in CV and Gordon. We are paying the price for trying to win on the fly while rebuilding. There are several poor teams in a water-downed league and the Pistons look like one of them. This in not Tay's team, or Stuckey's team. The Pistons veterans do not and have not won games for the team the past few years. Tay is not the old Tay. Stuckey's peak is probably a second team guard on most teams. He is a shooting guard without a shot most days. Maxiel plays nobly but is overmatched size-wise. This team is Monroe's and Knight's team. I said this after game 1. And so far, these two are not experienced enough or skilled enough to put the team over the top. It is scary if these two do not become stars or near stars. Monroe has some game but still no outside shot. His defense is poor but he may turn out to be a scoring/passing threat from the top of the key. If he becomes a major scorer--fine--he would be a legitimate piece. Knight has a ways to go. His skill set is not sharp enough at present. I hate to say this because I am tired of rooting for the team to lose to get a better lottery pick. But it looks like the Pistons have to go back into the lottery yet again. Singler is legit--maybe the best overall player on the team. JJ is a nice role player. Dre is a few years off but has that feel of defense that you want. But unless Monroe and Knight can become day to day forces, the team will lose.
Would Sacto be a playoff team in the East? 9/10 slot somewhere in there? They are definitely a level above the Pistons whatever that is.
Dre was in for a couple minutes and was banging inside and every time our guards did the matador defense he rotated to cut them off and when the guard dished and the big got the hoop Dre got blamed..It is the fault of his teammates for not rotating there is no world where that should be his bad. Unless coach wants him to stay with his man and let the guard lay it up. And as soon as he was pulled and max was reinserted Cousins took max low and scored on the very next play. Drum is not the problem folks, he may not be the answer but he certainly is not the problem. The problem is our idiot coach who is beginning to remind me of Flipper and Clueless' lovechild. If as someone said earlier we are shallow at the center position and that is why Dre isnt playing? seriously? We are getting killed on the boards in every game...maybe and this is just a maybe...our center / pf maxiell isnt the best choice. Wouldnt it be better on every level if Max was a energy guy off the bench that could play some pf for spot minutes? I am quickly losing patience with this team/ staff. Ive spent late hours watching this crap on the west coast trip and am pretty much done. Not even angry anymore, more sad.
Only into the second quarter and I know in the last game thread I said I don't care about rotations if they at least concentrate on defence as a unit, but they aren't anyway - FFS, you bring in Prince and just after he misses another shot you take out the guy who can play his position, is making shots and playing good D (Singler). Then T-40 palms it down low, gets blocked and plays crap D on the other end. Prince is no longer a starter and I am getting increasing frustrated with him starting and playing big minutes when JJ and Singler are clearly playing better. And then he throws the ball between Stuckey and Monroe and throws his arms up like it was either of their fault?!!? Another pass by him thrown out of bounds. Fouls on the return. Still in the game. AAAAAAAARGH! 6 chances to take him out in the 3rd, and he is left in the whole time!!!! Each game I watch this season, I lose a little more faith in Frank.
I felt the same way watching that exact sequence. Its dumbfounding, I was sayin the same thing about an undersized non rebounding non defensive player in max and having a better player in Dre sitting on the bench collecting dust. I just hope that these double standards the coach is throwin at the young kids when they get yanked for supposedly something they do then the starter that goes in for them does the same thing and doesnt even get a yell from the coach. I hope this doesnt turn them into austin dayes with major confidence issues and always looking over their shoulder. Cause Dre was playing hard and was looking good now he seems to be looking over to the bench and seems a little hesitant to make moves...If our genius coaching staff ruins this kid I will be beyond furious at all management of this team.
Finished the game now. First up - great effort Monroe! First triple double by a Piston since CB in 2004. Unfortunately his defence was still bad and I don't see it getting any better just yet. He just can't play D against Cs his own size or bigger - who can/will? Drummond. But Drummond can't be left out there with undersized PFs in JJ and Maxiell. Put Drum out there with Monroe and I think they will just be a better defensive fit. But not wanting to baulk on my comments on last game, if Frank can get some defensive cohesion from these rotations let it play. Suprised we haven't seen Kravtsov given a chance to improve that D. I didn't catch him in that good pre-season game he had, but the reports were positive. Must be a reason he is being overlooked though if he hasn't seen any time and Drum gets minutes when he isn't playing great - communication could be a problem. With Drum's minutes, I'm guessing this may have been more of a conditioning decision than anything on the travelling back to back games. English didn't get much play either. The only rook that did was Singler, but he has form after a big season in Spain. Likes: Monroe's Triple Double Singler Daye and BoT basically still no court time BK taking some more shots Dislikes: Prince playing horrible and still getting play Bynum Stuckey's slump Defence, still Outrebounded, again
Monroe did lead the team in steals last year (with 83 and 49 was the next highest). So that is some defensive contribution. He blocks shots unusually poorly, but steals at a rate that is Olajowon like. Also, Monroe's defensive win shares were nearly twice as high as anyone else on the team last year and highest on a per minute basis too. His defensive rating was 2nd only to Ben Wallace while his offensive rating was 2nd only to Rodney Stuckey (before he stopped taking steroids). I guess what I'm saying is that there are probably certain things that he is doing defensively that are more subtle than the traditional things for a C. For instance, he boxes out extremely well on rebounds. He is smart about fronting or not fronting. He's strong and doesn't get pushed around. He's always near the basket. He has quick hands, gets steals and deflects passes. He doesn't leave his feet and commit dumb fouls. He's just not a good jumper and never will be.
Just as a thought exercise, let's say we had pulled the plug in Curry's first season, tanked and not made the playoffs. We *might* have been able to draft Stephen Curry or Brendon Jennings that year instead of Daye. Then we would be going into 2009/10 season with a butt load of cappspayce and the following players: Chucky Atkins KB Toys Bynum Brendon Jennings/Stephen Curry (instead of Daye) Rip JJ JMax T-40 Stuck Summers Big Ben Wilcox Assuming everything else played out exactly as they did, the only difference would have been not drafting a PG in 2011. So we would've drafted either one of the Morris brothers, or Kawhi Leonard. Best case scenario would be Leonard. So, today we could be looking at a lineup of: PG: Brendon Jennings/Stephen Curry SG: Stuckey SF: Prince PF: Maxiell C: Monroe with Leonard/Morris, Drummond, Bynum, JJ, Singler, Slava, English, Middleton on the bench and capp spayce. So, in a hypothetical world, not hitting the reset button one season earlier cost us a substantial upgrade at the PG spot, a minor deterioration on the bench, and capp space. In other words, we wouldn't be much further along than where we are today.
Why do the Pistons not seem to have any problem getting offensive rebounds, but get killed on their defensive boards?
Defensive rebounding relies a lot on boxing out, whereas offensive rebounding requires you to be crafty to get the rebound despite being boxed out. From what I have seen in the last 2-3 seasons, boxing out seems to be a notion that our team is not familiar with.
Maybe because our misses are unually bad and the rebounding spray extends all the way out to the 3 point line?
Doesn't it look like they try harder for offensive boards? That is the only time they're flying around the court.
