text: Closure and exposure for students' hard work News Home 04.23.13 By: Mark Tarnacki A Saint Michael's College student used the story of Hansel and Gretel to make a point about astrophysics and the origins of the universe at the college's annual Academic Symposium over Family Weekend, April 19-20. A classmate went out to the ballpark with an economist's eye, investigating whether major league baseball owners get a good return on their huge investments in player salaries. A recent study-abroad traveler had insights about sustainable agriculture while another had clearer ideas about public health and maybe a new career path after a summer study-trip to Guyana. In an atmosphere both celebratory and scholarly, St. Mike's students put their best work forward for visiting family who mingled with professors, college leaders and a big group of newly accepted students who were visiting campus with their families the same weekend. Everybody seemed fired up about what (and how) Saint Michael's students are learning. The sheer scale of the event was something to behold: 102 students at the main poster session, 150-plus oral presentations of senior theses by department throughout the college's main academic building; more than 900 students and their family with faculty and administrators in Ross Sports Center for a Dean's Reception Saturday night. That reception featured 35 invited dean's list presenters who set up around the gym's perimeter with posters, along with two featured student speakers and an elegant spread of hors d'oeuvres. On Friday afternoon, teams of business students presented their original business start-up plans in the annual Enterprise Competition, with winners receiving large cash prizes. The Family Weekend included honor society inductions, athletic events, musical presentations, a theatrical performance of "Dead Man Walking," and a crafts fair to raise money for international service learning trips. The Accepted Students Open House welcomed high school seniors who have been accepted at the college. The fourth annual Saint Michael's annual Academic Symposium featured students presenting academic research through poster sessions and student-led presentations. This event coincided with Undergraduate Research Week 2013, sponsored by the Council on Undergraduate Research, which recognizes high-quality undergraduate student-faculty collaborative research and scholarship. Here's what a sample of student presenters across a variety of disciplines had to say about their Symposium experiences: Ashley Armstrong '13, physics major, Rome, NY Chemistry/physics poster session, adviser John O'Meara Carbon IV and analyzing properties of early galaxies How did you decide on this topic and why is it important to you? Triply-ionized carbon is called Carbon IV -- they use a Roman numeral – and detecting its presence in space can tell us important information about the origins of the universe. My project is a culmination of about two years of research. I'd grown up always wanting to be an astronaut so when I came to St. Mike's I felt lucky to find a real astronomer in the Physics Department, John O'Meara. We connected and started to do research to explore the universe through astrophysics. In summer 2011 we made a field trip to Hawaii to use the Keck Telescopes and there we used the same type of instruments that I used gathering data for this project. The specific topic is important because, by studying how galaxies formed, we're getting a better idea of why the Milky Way formed which addresses the important topic of why we're here at all. What cool and/or surprising things did you learn about the project (and yourself) during the process? The coolest thing for me was finding a way of presenting it that's interesting or makes sense to people. I came up with an analogy between my project and the Hansel and Gretel fairy tale. I loved that you can talk about physics in terms of a fairy tale and bring out its meaning. I'm an English and philosophy minor so I like finding ways to tie them all together. Carbon IV tells us where to look for clouds of gas in the universe so that by finding them we can find where other elements are. So like Hansel and Gretel, we are following breadcrumbs of Carbon IV molecules to get to what we really want to look at. On my poster for the Symposium I have a cartoon of Hansel and Gretel dropping Carbon 4 breadcrumbs along the path and I animated the graphics, using PowerPoint. This also was my senior seminar topic. One thing I learned about myself in all this is that I love computer programming. If you had a million dollars, how would you spend it following up on your research? If one could purchase telescope time, I would do that, but since that's not how it works, money wouldn't even help so it's sort of hard to figure out how I'd use it. Perhaps I would fund a team of students to all work on the same project. It would include programming licenses, which are expensive, and that way there could be a team of undergraduate working on the same project which would verify data and give some peer review of everything I found. How does this project fit in with your education at Saint Mike's and your future career plans? The project really has given the abstract course work I've done an application for real data in an academic setting. I'm actually using concepts I learned then. In terms of career plans, being able to do research like this has given me a clear perspective on what graduate school research would be like. All that information is helping me decide what I want to do and make an informed decision on future education plans. After taking a break from science for a year to move out to Seattle just as an adventure, I hope to go back to graduate school soon. Lauren DiBona '14, biology major, Quincy, MA Experiential Learning – adviser Joan Wagner Community engaged learning class in Guyana How did you decide on this topic and why is it important to you? My presentation was in the Experiential Learning Showcase. I'd gone to Guyana this past summer with seven other students and philosophy Professor Katie Kirby so I wanted to talk about that at the Symposium, focusing on communities I saw in Guyana and how that relates to my life back at home. We visited both an impoverished neighborhood in the capital city of Georgetown and an Amerindian Arawak village called Moraikobai. What cool and/or surprising things did you learn about the project (and yourself) during the process? I learned how much I value the community that I have here at St. Mike's working with others in service. You hear these terms thrown around a lot at this college -- community, service -- but I realized how true they are after this project. If you had a million dollars, how would you spend it following up on your research? I would go back to Guyana and visit more Indian villages, and also interview people in Georgetown to see how their experiences compare -- what they have, what they do, what they believe, since it's in the same small country, but worlds apart in many ways. How does this project fit in with your education at Saint Mike's and your future career plans? I think this helped me see how important the liberal arts background was for me as a biology major. Without this experience I wouldn't have seen the global aspect of what biologists can do so directly, and it's made me consider a career in public health or health care in underdeveloped countries. I always knew I wanted to do heath care, but the idea of public health came out more after the trip. I'm thinking of becoming a physician's assistant. Alyssa Cuddy '14, environmental studies major from Lawrence, MA Farming, food and working landscapes, adviser Bridgett Kerr Can sustainable agriculture be sustained? About her advisee's work, English Professor Bridget Kerr says, "Alyssa Cuddy is an extremely focused and accomplished Environmental Studies student and, very fortunately, she also has social justice at her core." How did you decide on this topic and why is it important to you? Majoring in Environmental Studies and Anthropology, I saw the topic of sustainable agriculture as a way to research and address both the environment and cultures. My concentration for Environmental Studies is Global Health, Social Justice, and Environmental Sustainability, and as sustainable agriculture addresses these areas in terms of worker health and public health issues, fair trade values, and caring for the environment in a sustainable manner, the topic seemed to be the perfect fit. Having visited India, China, and South Africa, I was exposed to severe poverty, malnutrition, food insecurity, and other human rights violations; therefore, digging deeper into one of the determinants such as industrial agriculture and monopolies remained important to me. What cool and/or surprising things did you learn about the project (and yourself) during the process? I found the most interesting aspect of the project was learning about the critiques and reasons some hesitate to switch to sustainable agriculture such as lower incomes for farmers, fewer markets, outdated equipment, and intensive labor which is difficult on the body. At first, one comes to assume the choice is simple. Industrial agriculture has numerous negative impacts, so why not switch to the alternative? Yet, I realized that I cannot jump to conclusions. Instead, I looked into how sustainable agriculture can denounce these criticisms as avoidable or manageable. In turn, I found that it is more beneficial for the environment, the economic side, and health. If you had a million dollars, how would you spend it following up on your research? If I were able to continue research on a higher level, I would seek to work with non-governmental organizations to promote awareness, but also begin investigating the viability of certain alternatives such as the development of more local or farmers' markets. Of course, large scale subsidies and a change in the consumer market are what factors need to occur, so even one million dollars would not serve that purpose. Therefore, I would focus on promoting awareness and evincing the effectiveness of alternatives such as organic gardening. How does this project fit in with your education at Saint Mike's and your future career plans? As aforementioned, I am concentrated on Global Health, Social Justice, and Environmental Sustainability, therefore, the research project fit perfectly into each category as I looked into public health and the increased risk of diseases, social justice and workers' rights, and the environment with regards to pollution and degradation. Having traveled abroad, I connected the project to my experiences with the people of different cultures as well which brought in my Anthropology major. In the future, I hope to work in an area that synthesizes nature and cultures such as organizations like World Wildlife Fund and The Nature Conservancy. Although, I am not exactly sure of my career path, I know food comes from farms, which Berry reveals many have forgotten, and that the land is truly the foundation of our futures. Jessica Morrissey '13, economics major, Glens Falls, NY Economics, adviser Patrick Walsh Do major league baseball teams receive an ROI in first-year draft signing bonuses? How did you decide on this topic and why is it important to you? My interest was both as a baseball fan and future economist. I've always been very interested in the financial and statistical sides of baseball. It's important to me since sports is such huge part of American culture and is such a financially expensive enterprise at the highest levels, so I was really curious, given the major amounts of money that baseball team owners put into these players, if they see good returns on their investments. I'm from Glen Falls, NY, and a Red Sox fan since that's what most of my friends were growing up. What cool and/or surprising things did you learn about the project (and yourself) during the process? I learned that I love collecting data and manipulating numbers. For all the economics projects at the Symposium we had to have all data by November of last semester – this is a whole year project for us, so doing the initial digging for information last fall was my favorite part of it: searching for numbers, putting them in Excel, seeing what cool trends I could get out of them. Usually I'm not a huge math person, but when math is applicable to one of my strong extracurricular interests, I found it brings out the math side of me. If you had a million dollars, how would you spend it following up on your research? I think I would like to fly around the country to all 30 major league teams and interview the front-office draft personnel who were behind these decisions, to learn more about their process determining how much these players are worth, if they get any repercussions about players turning out well, or in the case of the Cleveland Indians and Seattle Mariners, not so well. They were the worst, losing a bit more or less than 10 percent of their investments. Everyone else had positive returns. How does this project fit in with your education at Saint Mike's and your future career plans? My project fits with my economics major, obviously, but I'm hoping to get into some facet of the sports industry for a career -- sports marketing or analytics -- so this definitely tied into my current academic program with future interests and extracurricular interests as well. After graduation I plan in the fall to attend Bentley College for an MBA with a concentration in marketing. Christopher Crocker '13, physics major, Foxborough, MA Chemistry/physics poster session, Dean's Reception presenter, adviser John O'Meara Using quasars to analyze distant galaxies How did you decide on this topic and why is it important to you? I started in the engineering program but decided it wasn't for me so I became a physics major and found it's something I'm good at. For this project I got asked by Professor John O'Meara if I wanted to work with him during the summer. I had no idea of how the realms of astrophysics worked, so for me it was more a first glance at astronomy if you will, working with all the data he collects. It seemed like a really good option for the summer so I took it up and liked it a lot. What cool and/or surprising things did you learn about the project (and yourself) during the process? After learning the basic background, I learned to compile large amounts of data about quasars and galaxies for six out of eight weeks. Basically I was taught that light has spectra so when you look at light from a star, it comes out in a wave form and when this light passes through dust you get what are called absorption lines -- nicks in the wave form -- due to light passing energy to the dust or gasses. So, based on where that is in the wave form, that is, what the nick looks like, we can tell what element it is and approximately how far away it was absorbed. I was working with giant databases of absorption lines. I started working with programs to do that and eventually the bulk of my project was learning to computer-program which was very interesting to me. I really liked it a lot and took another computer science course last semester because of it. As a physicist it's good to have that background. If you had a million dollars, how would you spend it following up on your research? I have no idea! The way things work in the work I was doing, you have to petition for time at telescopes, and that's where the next step in my research would be -- so money wouldn't be any help in getting that time. And it would cost way more than $1 million to buy the kind of telescope that we're talking about! How does this project fit in with your education at Saint Mike's and your future career plans? In the future I want to go into a career working with engineers in manufacturing or some other realm. It was a good idea for me to figure out what the life of an astronomer is actually like, and I got a little peep at that and found it really wasn't for me, the whole "writing proposals" business. But I really enjoyed the computer programming aspect of it and that's become a mini-passion of mine. I also made a great companion in Professor O'Meara - it was so great to work with him and I loved my time over the summer and learned some valuable information in the process. Michael O'Neill '13: Religious Studies and Political Science double-major, Leominster, MA Advisers: John Kenney in Religious Studies, Jeffrey Ayres in Political Science Religious Studies: "Time crisis: contemplating the theological implications of Saint Augustine of Hippo's understanding of Time in the Confessions." Political Science: "Cyber war, the new nontraditional threat and its impact on US national security and foreign policy?" How did you decide on this topic and why is it important to you? For my Religious Studies topic I decided on time in Saint Augustine because he's a saint who is very important to me personally and I wanted to dive deeper into his thought. I remembered a part in his Confessions about time – it was so dense and I wanted to see if I could understand it better. Now I definitely feel I do, but it wasn't easy. Augustine is at the core of a lot of Catholic theological thought, a doctor of the church, and you can see his influence in so many prominent thinkers in the church. I'm very involved in Campus Ministry, joining Emmaus Retreats a number of times and co-running a weekly Scripture-based reflection group for students, and I draw on Augustine a lot for both. I also did an "experiential artifact" for this project – that is, Augustine has shaped my own thinking on how to approach metaphysical topics like the soul and God. For my political science project I took the foreign policy seminar and was first thinking maybe of doing something on terrorism or drones, but then I read an article that mentioned cyber war, which also was in a book we read for class, so I got intrigued and started talking to Professor Ayres and he encouraged me. It was a really interesting topic. What cool and/or surprising things did you learn about the project (and yourself) during the process? Before doing this Augustine work I wasn't sure I was capable of grasping such abstract topics, but doing a thesis on it, I learned how to logically think in a such a way that I can deal with that sort of topic now. I used to get very lost when people talked about abstract topics, but now I realize I can wrestle with them. For Augustine, time basically is a part of the fall for the soul and the soul gets kind of affected by time in such a way that it doesn't participate in its own nature fully, and time acts as a penalty for sin. I also realized just how interested I am in this particular topic. I'd like to continue learning about time in Augustine in future studies. I also learned how important your approach to a topic can be to the conclusions you reach - how different schools of thought can transform what one sees in a writing. For example, one school on this topic I did is philosophical while another is historical-contextual, and you get two very different outcomes depending how you approach it. For my cyber war project, the coolest thing I learned was how cyber defense is an Achilles Heel for the United States. We have a very strong military, but my thesis shows how cyber-dependent we are, and that's our weak point. It shows how far behind we are because of our obsession with terrorism, causing an inability to recognize what a threat it is. If you had a million dollars, how would you spend it following up on your research? I would put money toward research on how best to update the U.S. cyber defenses, which would not only improve U.S. national security but also U.S. foreign policy initiatives. As for "time crisis" in Augustine, maybe I'd use the money for acquiring resources and documents relating to that topic, using it to work with others to gain further understanding on a deeper level since my thesis was just a surface understanding in many ways. I'd like to further develop textual analysis of what Augustine was thinking. How does this project fit in with your education at Saint Mike's and your future career plans? The Augustine project was the culmination of using a lot of the research and writing skills I've learned over my four years here, and in particular, my last couple years in Professor Kenney's classes, so using the knowledge I gained from those. It challenged me to take on these hairy topics. I'm planning to join the Jesuit Volunteer Corps after graduation, so depending on where I end up, I may have an opportunity to teach by way of preparing people for the sacraments in religious education, so I think my knowledge of Augustine can further what I can do in that area. Then in grad school I'd like to further my education in theology, focusing on Augustine hopefully, and turn that into a job afterward. At one time I was interested in doing intelligence analysis for the government but that interest has passed. Still, my project with Professor Ayres was another culmination of my reading, writing and analysis, trying to formulate an argument and establish a position, to do that critical thinking. While the Augustine project developed my approach to abstract thinking, the cyber war project was more problem-solving in nature, which is also a useful skill.

Texas Tech University
Texas Tech University students kicked off summer last month in the school's new $8.25 million outdoor aquatics complex. The facility features an outdoor pool with a slide and diving board, a hot tub that seats 20 people, water volleyball and basketball areas, and a "bubble couch" aquatic bench with massage jets. Access to the pool is free for enrolled students and $75 for those not currently enrolled.
UFC Gym
Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) and New Evolution Fitness Co. (NEFC) announced last month that the first UFC Gym will be located in Concord, CA (see cover story). The gym combines mixed martial arts and fitness, and it will be located near NEFC co-founders Mark Mastrov and Jim Rowley, both of whom are from the East Bay in Northern California. The gym is expected to open in October.
After a failed fundraising effort designed to pay off its debts, the Central Valley YMCA board of directors closed the downtown Fresno, CA, YMCA branch at the end of May. Membership at the Fresno Y fell from about 700 members in 2004 to fewer than 500 in 2009. Y officials said the club never recovered from losing members after closing its pool in 2005. Membership also has declined as the city's residents moved away from downtown.
Air Force
In response to an internal audit of its fitness program, the Air Force announced that airmen will take a physical fitness test twice a year, beginning in January 2010. Most reservists or guardsmen will continue taking the fitness test once a year. The changes are expected to help improve the overall health levels of Air Force personnel and save on military health insurance costs.

The Cowboys received no favors from the NFL schedule makers when they were given two road NFC games to start the season. An 0-2 start could have put the Cowboys in a big hole that would have been hard to get out of. But now the Cowboys are staring at the very real possibility of a 2-0 start against NFC opponents with one of those victories being a division win.
Winning NFC games doesn't seem like a big deal right now but it will be towards the end of the season if the Cowboys end up in a fight for a wild card spot. I would love to say we should expect the Cowboys to win more games at home than they do at the road, but the Cowboys haven't exactly been world beaters at home since moving into the new stadium.
So that means that the Cowboys need to rack up wins any way they can get them. And Seattle is a decent team but, let's be honest, it is a team the Cowboys should beat if they expect to be a playoff contender.
As much as I enjoyed the win last week against the Giants I have come to the realization that it was only one game. Who knows, the win against the Giants could turn out to be the best the Cowboys play all year long. The Cowboys are still a long way from proving that they can consistently play good football on offense and defense for 60 minutes every week.
Another solid performance will start to convince everyone, including the players themselves, that the Cowboys are for real this year. The defense should go into the Seattle game with a lot of confidence after controlling the game against the Giants. The offense put up a lot of yards and scored plenty of points, but there are still very big questions about the quality of the offensive line.
I would hate to think that the Cowboys could go into the Seattle game overconfident but it is a real possibility. So much of the focus for the Cowboys in the offseason was on beating the Giants that you can see how easily there could be a letdown after the big week 1 win. This will be the first of many tests for Jason Garrett this season to find out if he can teach his team to handle success.

I agree that it would be fantastic to have such a great start fot the dallas cowboys. They did okay last season, but I really think that they will manage to pull it through this year.ReplyDelete

I also agree... I really can't believe the boys would go into Seattle over confident... I believe there has been a major shift in the demeanor of this years team... Whether it's due to the coaching staff, the locker room, last year's disapointment, or some combination thereof, but you could see it on the field... If the Cowboys can continue to play as good, or better, as they played the Giants then this team will go all the way!!! GO COWBOYS!!!!ReplyDelete

The code S63.046D is exempt from POA reporting.
- Traumatic dislocation of carpometacarpal joint of thumb
Information for Patients
Dislocations are joint injuries that force the ends of your bones out of position. The cause is often a fall or a blow, sometimes from playing a contact sport. You can dislocate your ankles, knees, shoulders, hips, elbows and jaw. You can also dislocate your finger and toe joints. Dislocated joints often are swollen, very painful and visibly out of place. You may not be able to move it.
A dislocated joint is an emergency. If you have one, seek medical attention. Treatment depends on which joint you dislocate and the severity of the injury. It might include manipulations to reposition your bones, medicine, a splint or sling, and rehabilitation. When properly repositioned, a joint will usually function and move normally again in a few weeks. Once you dislocate a shoulder or kneecap, you are more likely to dislocate it again. Wearing protective gear during sports may help prevent dislocations.

FUNCTIONAL and NOT-TOO-EXPENSIVE are more apt, and certainly qualify this as a bike-for-the-rest-of-us.
- Nine-speed drivetrain. Not enough gears for some folks, but plenty for many. (I've learned not to over-generalize, following several firm scoldings. People! Chill!)
- Disc brakes up front. Probably a good idea.
- The big front rack deck is made of recycled HDPE. It comes off easily too, so you can fashion your own out of birdseye maple, or whatever. Recommended load: 50 lbs.
- The bike in the picture appears to have a double kickstand, though I didn't see it listed on the spec sheet. I will inquire.
- Tough steel frame. Civia is a division/child of Quality Bicycle Products (QBP), and to my knowledge, they've never done anything poorly.
- What else do you need?
(I know, it's a lot. On the other hand, this is an out-of-the-box cargo hauler. Start yourself a Saturday "I'll get your stuff home from the farmer's market" delivery service this spring and you'll have that $1000 back by the end of the summer (probably sooner), and probably some good looking legs too.)
UPDATE: Bicycling magazine has a video about the Halsted.

The Greatest Silence: Rape in the Congo
A film by
Lisa F. Jackson
2007, 76 minutes, Color, DVD, French, Swahili, Lingala, Mashi, Subtitled
Order No. W09930
Winner of the Sundance Special Jury Prize in Documentary and the inspiration for a 2008 U.N. Resolution classifying rape as a weapon of war, this extraordinary film, shot in the war zones of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), shatters the silence that surrounds the use of sexual violence as a weapon of conflict. Many tens of thousands of women and girls have been systematically kidnapped, raped, mutilated and tortured by soldiers from both foreign militias and the Congolese army. A survivor of gang rape herself, Emmy Award�-winning filmmaker Lisa F. Jackson travels through the DRC to understand what is happening and why.
Produced in association with HBO Documentary Films and the Fledgling Fund, this film features interviews with activists, peacekeepers, physicians, and even-chillingly-the indifferent rapists who are soldiers of the Congolese Army. Harrowing moments of the film come as dozens of survivors recount their stories with an honesty and immediacy that is pulverizing in its intimacy and detail, but this powerful film also provides inspiring examples of resiliency, resistance, courage and grace.

Framework: AV022 – av022_0003_v2
1 - Primary or Horizontal Divisions
3 - Secondary or Vertical Divisions
Part of series: AV022 Arrow Variation 022 – Sliced Arrows and Outflows
Series Keywords: flow, many to one flow, many to many, one to many flows, conclusion, contributors, feeds
These frameworks are set up so that they can be use in a variety of ways: The first three variations (v1-v3) can be used independently as a one-to-one or many-to-one flow graphic. When frameworks from the first three variations are used with frameworks from the second three variations (v4-v6), the flows then become many-to-many or one-to-many flows. There are lots and lots of possibilities when the two types of versions are combined.
They can help convey flows, but can also be alternatives to bullets and presentation structure pages.
They are extremely versatile and easy to use. Refer to the tutorial for tips on formatting and animation.

Teaching group fitness is just as much an ART as it is a SCIENCE. But when you dial in the science first, it makes finding time to focus on the art much easier! And, when you give time to the art, the likelihood your students will fall in love and come back week after week tend to rise significantly.
The best instructors set aside time each week to PLAN their classes. This process doesn't need to take hours, but in the beginning, it may take a bit more time until you develop a system.
Schedule your class design time just like you do any other appointments and workouts. It really doesn't matter when you do it — just make sure you dedicate time for this extremely important first step!
Once you sit down to construct your class, your initial reaction may be to begin dreaming up choreography, exercise options or music for your class. While you may end up with a killer class, all that time spent may be unnecessary and more importantly, your ability to reuse your plans in the future might not be very easy.
You must begin by thinking big picture and then dial in the specifics later to produce the best, most safe and effective classes!
The following 3-step system will save you time and energy, and deliver amazing classes that are consistent and easily repeatable:
- Effect
First, you must specify the desired outcome. What effect do you want from the workout?
For some classes, this may seem like a no brainer. For example, for step and cycling the effect is cardio! But we can get more specific and decide if today will be steady state, intervals or both. With other classes, this is easier to understand. Strength training could be endurance, balance, strength, or a combination of both.
Fine-tuning the effect you desire will help your classes feel different and satisfy your urge to constantly change things without leaving you looking for crazy new ideas on every blog, forum, website, or DVD available. By changing the overall feeling — or promise — of the class, you can plug and play familiar items for an all new experience.
- Equipment
Next, it's time to pull out all the toys (or maybe, you put them all away!). For your strength or cardio classes, think strategically about how you use (or don't use) equipment. Here are a few great questions to ask yourself as you examine your equipment: What will help you achieve the effect you desire? What will allow a maximum number of participants or provide maximum range of motion? What did you use last week? If your class doesn't have equipment, move to step #3!
- Employ
Lastly, think about the strategies you could employ with the equipment you've decided to use to achieve the desired effect. This will build the shell for your workout and begin the process of selecting exercises or choreography. With strength training, you may decide to do a reverse order workout and start with smaller muscle groups because you're only going to use hand weights that day and you have limited overload. Or, for step, you could decide to use alternating complex choreography with athletic intervals. The complex choreography can serve as active recovery, then ditch the thinking and bring on the heart pounding with athletic drills!
Again, the idea is to think big picture first, which will drive your details later.
Once you've taken the time to work through these three foundational steps, you can begin slotting in exercises, choreography and music. And, last but not least, you'll develop your cueing strategy (that's a completely different blog post topic!). Not only will this system help you create repeatable, safe and effective exercise experiences for any type of class, you'll find your classes are easier to remember and you can be flexible if something does not seem to be working. First understanding the construct of your class from a physiological perspective will allow you to make instantaneous modifications when necessary and leave everyone feeling successful.
Happy planning!

Kate DiCamillo
The National Ambassador for Young People's Literature of the Library of Congress and the Children's Book Council, Kate DiCamillo is the recipient of the 2014 Newbery Medal for her novel "Flora & Ulysses: The Illuminated Adventures." This is DiCamillo's second Newbery, which the American Library Association confers for the "most distinguished contribution to American literature for children." DiCamillo also won the Newbery for "The Tale of Despereaux" in 2004. Her first published novel, "Because of Winn-Dixie," won a Newbery Honor. She says of stories: "When we read together, we connect. Together, we see the world. Together, we see each other." DiCamillo celebrates the 10th anniversary of her Mercy Watson series with "Mercy Watson: Something Wonky This Way Comes" (Candlewick). Her new book is "Francine Poulet Meets the Ghost Raccoon" (Candlewick), which is the second book in the Tales from Deckawoo Drive series—a spinoff from Mercy Watson.

This is a puzzle ball, and I find that adults enjoy playing with it as much as babies do. It comes apart in three sections... tricky, tricky. These are really fun to make, but a bit time consuming. My friend Janna makes the best puzzle balls in the world and sells them in her etsy shop, so check them out. She offers them at a steal of a deal for only $25. If you ask me to make you one, I'll charge you $50. I've been trying to talk Janna into raising her price on them, so get one now before I convince her ;)

Adopt a Box with the Hawk and Owl Trust: wild birds of prey need places to nest – your contribution will ensure they have that place!
Fact: It is estimated that four out of five barn owl pairs have to use an artificial nest box now due to the loss of traditional nesting sites such as old farm buildings and trees.
To order an Adopt a Box membership for yourself or as a gift for another, simply click the link below, call 01328 856 788 or email firstname.lastname@example.com

How You Can Help – the perfect Christmas, Birthday, Valentine or Any Reason Present!
Adopt a Box yourself or as a present for a friend – it is such a good way to help owls and other birds of prey. There are nest boxes in many parts of the country and you can Adopt a Box in one of seven regions.
Adopting a nest box through the Hawk and Owl Trust is fun. But you'll also be doing one of the most practical things possible to help give birds of prey a place to nest. You'll be kept up to date with what's going on in your adopted box. You will also learn more about barn owls and the other birds that use the special nest boxes we put up and monitor through out the breeding season. Through your Adopt a Box membership you or the person you nominate will receive a certificate, guides to owl pellets and birds of prey, fact sheets and an annual update on who has used your box.
Shortage of Homes
Loss of old hollow trees and conversion of barns for housing has dramatically reduced the supply of traditional nesting sites for species such as owls. It is estimated that four in every five barn owls now use nest boxes, demonstrating how important boxes are for this species.
Tawny owls, little owls and kestrels are also benefiting from nest boxes, which are put up in carefully selected areas with suitable feeding habitat.
During the breeding season specially trained and licensed conservationists monitor the boxes. Each year you will receive news of the birds that may have used the box allocated to you.You might be lucky enough to hear that eggs were laid and young reared. Most of the boxes are designed for barn owls but other species which might use them are tawny or little owls, kestrel or jackdaw.
Protecting the Breeding Birds
In the interest of conservation we cannot tell you exactly where your box is. The nests of all birds of prey are protected and barn owls have additional legal protection. It is vital that the birds are not disturbed while rearing their young. Furthermore other adopters may share your box.

Production of the Mustang started in Dearborn, Michigan on March 9, 1964 and the car was presented to the general public on April 17, 1964 at the New York World's Fair. It is Ford's third oldest nameplate presently in production. Initial sales projections predicted less than 100,000 systems for the very first year. This mark was exceeded in 3 months from rollout. Another 318,000 would be sold during the design year (a record), and in its very first eighteen months, more than one million Mustangs were built.
Best Deals Buy Classic Ford Mustangs
All of these were VIN-identified as 1965 designs, however several changes were made at the standard opening of the new model year (start August 1964), including the addition of back-up lights on some models, the introduction of alternators to replace generators, and an upgrade of the V8 engine from 260 cu in to 289 cu in. In the case of a minimum of some six-cylinder Mustangs fitted with the 101 hp 170 cu in Falcon engine, the rush into production included some uncommon quirks, such as a horn ring bearing the 'Ford Falcon' logo design beneath a trim ring emblazoned with 'Ford Mustang.' These characteristics made sufficient difference to warrant designation of the 121,538 earlier ones as "1964 1/2" model-year Mustangs, a distinction that has sustained with purists. Mustangs For Sale in Lopez Island WA are easy to find now with online shopping.
The 1973 OPEC oil embargo brought with it more stringent contamination laws and the desire for fuel-efficiency. This was also the first time in automobile history that the Huge 3 were needing to compete with imports. The brand-new Mustang II was smaller sized than the very first version but, due to the extra equipment required to fulfill brand-new US emission and security regulations, was heavier than the very first model. Performance was decreased and in the very first year just 385,993 cars were sold.
Second generation Mustangs for sale in Lopez Island WA were offered in between 1974 and 1978 and available in a coupe and hatchback variation. 1979 the Mustang was upgraded a third time. This time it was based on the bigger Fox platform and the interior was truly huge enough for four people. The trunk was bigger and so was the engine bay. The body styles offered consisted of a coupe, hatchback and in 1983 a convertible. In 1979 the 3rd generation Mustang acted as an Indianapolis 500 rate automobile and Ford developed 10,478 celebratory reproductions. The third generation Mustangs were produced from 1979 to 1982.

Did You Know You Can Cheaply Mod Your AlienBees B400 to be a B1600?
But that doesn't necessarily mean it's a great idea. A DIY cautionary tale, inside.
Editor's note: First off, DON'T EVEN CONSIDER this if you are not an experienced electronics DIY'er. (And even then, it's probably not a good idea. As I said, this is a cautionary tale.) But still, a reminder that capacitors hold dangerous charges and do not taste like chocolate. In fact, they can taste rather like getting kicked in the face by a mixed martial arts champ.
This strange trip all started when Strobist reader Phillip Slawinski posted to the group his findings on just how easy it was to convert his AB400 to an AB1600. And better still, he did it for less than fifteen bucks.
Upon extracting the circuit board from his flash, board layout was all but unmistakable. Clever designer that he is, Paul Buff had basically designed the same board to be used across the AlienBees 400-800-1600 line. This gave him crazy economies of scale from the get-go, and allowed photographers to buy exactly as much flash as their wallets could handle.
All this proved too tempting for Phillip, who in the spirit of any 12-year-old who as ever disassembled an old radio was now staring at several obvious vacancies in the board of his AB400. Could it be as simple as just adding a couple of caps (and a diode, as it turns out)? Yes, it could.
Adding one cap to an AB400 would give it the power of an AB800. Adding two more to that would get him to AB1600. Could he find a capacitor model that would match the size, voltage and capacitance to fit?
Yes he did—on eBay, no less. They were the right size, voltage and capacitance—an exact fit. For less than $4, in quantities of ten.
For an experienced solder monkey like Phillip, this seemed almost too good to be true. So he happily set out souping up his AB400 to an AB
I thought it was pretty cool. Actually, I thought it very cool. I wasn't that surprised that Paul Buff had designed one board for three flashes. That's classic Paul, and very clever cost control engineering.
But I was surprised that such a close (or rather, exact) match for such a specialized cap was readily available on eBay for so cheap. So I shot Paul an email.
Paul was a bit surprised himself. Especially since the lot numbers on the caps appeared to show them as components specially made for AlienBees flashes. And on top of that, they were selling for far less than what Buff pays for them wholesale. And he buys in what can only be described as ridiculously large quantities, and at an appropriately thin profit margin from the OEM.
Bought one-off, these caps (if first quality) should be about $25 a pop to an end consumer. Which starts to make a lot more economic sense in the grand scheme of AlienBees pricing.
A little digging later, and Buff's folks figured out that the eBay AlienBees caps were not exactly first quality. In fact, they were junk caps—rejects that for one reason or another had failed the quality tests. They might have current leakage, they might have faulty mounting posts, or whatever.
For one reason or another they had been rejected by Buff and/or the OEM company and slated to be destroyed. Only now they were on eBay, and finding their way into the AlienBees flash of an intrepid hobbyist.
Phillip was smart enough to test his out for proper capacitance and for current leakage. Good thing, as it turns out since these had been manufactured several years ago and left to sit in unknown conditions during the interim. (We now know what can happen as a result.)
Even so, one of the caps he inserted in his AB
Fortunately, this magic smoke event was not catastrophic for Phillip, and his AB was fixable. Coulda been worse.
The moral of the story is, when something appears to good to be true, it just might be too good to be true. Similarly, one should henceforth beware of flashes that might be listed as AB1600s on eBay, but with "the wrong cover" (i.e., labeled as AB400 instead of AB1600) because of [fill in the seller's dodgy cover story here].
You just might be buying a flash with more of a potential pop than you bargained for.
But here's the silver lining part: unbeknownst to many people, Paul Buff will officially upgrade an AB still in warranty to one of its bigger siblings. You just have to pay original price difference + a fee of $25. And since it's now a legit factory AB800 or AB1600, they'll also swap the case out for you.
You can even pick a new color if you want.
But if you happen to come across a temptingly vacant PC board in your AB400 or '800 and you want to add in a couple cheap caps, just be aware you might get a little more bang for your buck than you expect.

Mobile Adventure Walks
Mobile Adventure Walks makes walking fun
Here's how the walks work:
The adventure unfolds before the player. The app shows them on their Android where to go next, and when they confirm they are at the location, they either get a question they have to answer about their current environment or a video that leads to a question about their current environment. They accumulate "Explorer Points" and can see how far they are walking.
We are in Beta. Currently, there is only one Mobile Adventure Walk available and it is in San Francisco. Currently the application is only available on the Android. We are hosting a contest where people should complete the walk and tell us how it went! They should send in details for their own Adventure Walk and if we choose it, we will build it and they can name it!
1. http://ecoki.com/iphone/
We like the nature and natural colors. We'll want to motivate people to be outside. We'll be creating for Android phones to start instead of the iPhone, but this concept is interesting. We like the simplicity.
2. http://www.hobartdesign.com/
We like the colorful, yet professional look. It feels bright, cheery, inviting, and slick. We'd like a bit more green in our look, but this beauty of this site was worth noting. This is too corporatey, but we liked the vibrance.
3. http://www.trailsnapper.com/
We like how it conveys the sense of adventure. We don't like the look of icons on the left. Unfortunately, this is too much of an adventure feel than for our audience (ours should feel more like turning your neighborhood into a mini-adventure rather than traveling, hiking, or seeing beautiful sites). Our concept is about being connected to your regular surroundings and finding adventure at home.
4. http://www.floridaflourish.com/
We like the looks of the top and bottom of this page (not the middle - the middle is too busy). By the top, we mean the blue sky & the trees and by the bottom, we mean the dark brown background with the 3 image bullets (planter, water pump, and pitcher).
5. http://www.tearoundapp.com
We like the simplicity and the fact that it doesn't look salesy
We want one page. The goal is to explain the concept in a way that quickly shows that Mobile Adventure Walks is fun.
It needs to be clear it's in Beta.
We to allow people to download the game for the Android, knowing there is only 1 Adventure walk and it is in the Sunset district of San Francisco.
We need to highlight the contest where people should complete the adventure walk and tell us how it went. Then they should send in details for their own Adventure Walk and if we choose it, we will build it and they can name it!
We want people to know it's in Beta and only available now for Android (it will be available for iPhone and other phones later). We would like to collect email addresses of people interested in hearing when more Mobile Adventure Walks are available and for more phones.
They should be given our contact info at: firstname.lastname@example.com.
Visual priorities:
1. explain what it is
2. it's beta
3. email capture
4. download & contest
5. contact info
The target audiences wishes they walked more. Please note, this is not the typical fitness or gym crowd - they are not skinny people who enjoy exercise - and they are not enticed by happy skinny people exercising.
The main reasons this target isn't walking more are: lack of motivation, today's walking options aren't fun, lack of support, and not fun to walk with others. They also lack time, so we want to make sure we make it clear our walks don't take extra time because of the adventure aspect. It is something that could be done on a daily basis.
Also note that we changed the name from the "EarlyLandingPageTest.tiff" to be called Mobile Adventure Walk. We want to be careful and not overemphasize the M, A, and W, because we don't want the initials of MAW to stand out. Please note, we don't want the Early Landing Page document to just be moved around - we have new information now to communicate. This is just to show you what we used in the past.
We have to implement the code for this relatively fast, so please stay away from anything requiring complex scripting or Flash.
We don't have a logo that we're married to, but you can use the attached, although we'd prefer if you just use some lightly stylized version of Mobile Adventure Walks (without overemphasizing the MAW).
Thanks, we're excited for your designs!!

A man wearing what he thought was an explosive vest has been arrested at a steakhouse on Constitution Avenue near the Capitol.
NBC and Fox report the vest contained inert chemicals and was provided by the FBI. The suspect was the target of an undercover investigation for about two months, according to USA Today.
Law enforcement said the "person arrested was canvassing the U.S. Capitol with violent intentions, the Associated Press reports. He was not believed to have any known connections to al-Qaeda," the newspaper reports.
Officialdom said the arrest "was the culmination of a lengthy and extensive operation during which the individual was closely and carefully monitored," WUSA TV reports.
In August, it was reported the FBI currently employs upwards of 15,000 undercover agents, ten times the number they had in 1975, and the vast majority of terror plot arrests in the United States are the result of FBI sting operations.
"By providing weaponry, funds and a plan, FBI-directed agents will encourage otherwise-unwilling participants to plot out terrorist attacks, only to bust them before any events fully materialize," RT reported.
The Capitol sting arrives a few days after terrorist attacks in India, Georgia and Thailand. Israel, the United States, and the establishment media have uniformly declared the attacks to be the work of Iran and its "proxy" Hezbollah despite strenuous denials by Iran.
The FBI has yet to link the latest plot to Iran.

Yeah, downtown is doable for me, since I can just take the bus.
Some notes on the store, though:
1. According to their website, it doesn't look like they've got any events going on on Thursday, so that's good.
2. Thursdays are also open gaming days, but the open gaming doesn't actually start until 5pm. All this means is that if we get the OK, we might be (and I say this because school's out, so there may be a lot of people there earlier than than 5) the only ones in the back room. This could be both good and bad; we won't have any interruptions, but we also won't be able to expose people to all the ossum.
I'd honestly prefer the gaming store to the University, but it's more for personal reasons ranging from "I haven't been there in a while" to "I could try to pitch the game to people there and get them interested." But by all means, if Blitzen's place is more practical, I'm all for it.

Pulmonary embolism — Comprehensive overview covers symptoms, causes, prevention and treatment of this condition related to blood clots.
Pulmonary embolism is a blockage in one of the pulmonary arteries in your lungs. In most cases, pulmonary embolism is caused by blood clots that travel to the lungs from the legs or, rarely, other parts of the body (deep vein thrombosis).
Because pulmonary embolism almost always occurs in conjunction with deep vein thrombosis, most doctors refer to the two conditions together as venous thromboembolism.
Although anyone can develop deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism, factors such as immobility, cancer and surgery increase your risk.
Pulmonary embolism can be life-threatening, but prompt treatment can greatly reduce the risk of death. Taking measures to prevent blood clots in your legs will help protect you against pulmonary embolism.
Pulmonary embolism symptoms can vary greatly, depending on how much of your lung is involved, the size of the clots and your overall health — especially the presence or absence of underlying lung disease or heart disease.
Common signs and symptoms include:
Other signs and symptoms that can occur with pulmonary embolism include:
Pulmonary embolism can be life-threatening. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience unexplained shortness of breath, chest pain or a cough that produces bloody sputum.
Pulmonary embolism occurs when a clump of material, most often a blood clot, gets wedged into an artery in your lungs. These blood clots most commonly originate in the deep veins of your legs, but they can also come from other parts of your body. This condition is known as deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
Occasionally, substances other than blood clots can form blockages within the blood vessels inside your lungs. Examples include:
It''s rare to have a single pulmonary embolism. In most cases, multiple clots are involved but not necessarily all at once. The portions of lung tissue served by each blocked artery are robbed of blood and may die. This is known as pulmonary infarction. This makes it more difficult for your lungs to provide oxygen to the rest of your body.
Although anyone can develop blood clots and subsequent pulmonary embolism, certain factors can increase your risk.
You''re at higher risk if you or any of your family members have had venous blood clots or pulmonary embolism in the past. This may be due to inherited disorders that affect blood, making it more prone to clot.
In addition, certain medical conditions put you at risk, such as:
Blood clots are more likely to form in your legs during periods of inactivity, such as:
Surgery is one of the leading causes of problem blood clots, especially seen after joint replacements of the hip and knee. During the preparation of the bones for the artificial joints, tissue debris may enter the bloodstream and contribute to causing a clot. Simply being immobile during any type of surgery can lead to the formation of clots. The risk increases with the length of time you''re under general anesthesia. For this reason, most people undergoing a type of surgery predisposing them to DVT will receive medication before and after surgery to prevent clot formation.
Pulmonary embolism can be life-threatening. About one-third of people with undiagnosed and untreated pulmonary embolism don''t survive. When the condition is diagnosed and treated promptly, however, that number drops dramatically.
Pulmonary embolism can also lead to pulmonary hypertension, a condition in which the blood pressure in your lungs and in the right side of the heart is too high. When you have obstructions in the arteries inside your lungs, your heart must work harder to push blood through those vessels. This increases the blood pressure within these vessels and the right side of the heart, which can weaken your heart.
In rare cases, small emboli occur frequently and develop over time, resulting in chronic pulmonary hypertension, also known as chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension.
Most cases of pulmonary embolism are initially evaluated in hospitals, emergency rooms or urgent care centers. If you think you might have a pulmonary embolism, seek immediate medical attention.
You may want to write a list that includes:
During the physical exam, your doctor might inspect your legs for evidence of a deep vein clot — an area that''s swollen, tender, red and warm. He or she will also listen to your heart and lungs and check your blood pressure.
Pulmonary embolism can be difficult to diagnose, especially in people who have underlying heart or lung disease. For that reason, your doctor may order a series of tests to help find the cause of your symptoms. Your doctor may order one or more of the following tests.
Your doctor may order a blood test for the clot-dissolving substance D dimer in your blood. High levels may suggest an increased likelihood of blood clots, although D dimer levels may be elevated by many other factors, including recent surgery. In addition, blood tests may be done to determine whether you have an inherited clotting disorder.
This noninvasive test shows images of your heart and lungs on film. Although X-rays can''t diagnose pulmonary embolism and may even appear normal when pulmonary embolism exists, they can rule out conditions that mimic the disease.
A noninvasive "sonar" test known as duplex ultrasonography (sometimes called duplex scan, or compression ultrasonography) uses high-frequency sound waves to check for blood clots in your thigh veins. In this test, your doctor uses a wand-shaped device called a transducer to direct the sound waves to the veins being tested. These waves are then reflected back to the transducer and translated into a moving image by a computer. The absence of the presence of clots reduces the likelihood of DVT. If the upper thigh vessels are clear, the ultrasonography will also scan the veins behind the knee looking for residual clots. If clots are present, treatment likely will be started immediately.
Regular CT scans take X-rays from many different angles and then combine them to form images showing 2-D "slices" of your internal structures. In a spiral (helical) CT scan, the scanner rotates around your body in a spiral — like the stripe on a candy cane — to create 3-D images. This type of CT can detect abnormalities within the arteries in your lungs with much greater precision, and it''s also much faster than are conventional CT scans. In some cases, contrast material is given intravenously during the CT scan to outline the pulmonary arteries.
This test provides a clear picture of the blood flow in the arteries of your lungs. It''s the most accurate way to diagnose pulmonary embolism, but because it requires a high degree of skill to administer and has potentially serious risks, it''s usually performed when other tests fail to provide a definitive diagnosis.
In a pulmonary angiogram, a flexible tube (catheter) is inserted into a large vein — usually in your groin — and threaded through into your heart and on into the pulmonary arteries. A special dye is then injected into the catheter, and X-rays are taken as the dye travels along the arteries in your lungs.
One risk of this procedure is a temporary change in your heart rhythm. In addition, the dye may cause kidney damage in people with decreased kidney function.
MRI scans use radio waves and a powerful magnetic field to produce detailed images of internal structures. Because MRI is expensive, it''s usually reserved for pregnant women (to avoid radiation to the fetus) and people whose kidneys may be harmed by dyes used in other tests.
Treatment is aimed at keeping the blood clot from getting bigger and preventing new clots from forming. Prompt treatment is essential to prevent serious complications or death.
Preventing clots in the deep veins in your legs (deep vein thrombosis) will help prevent pulmonary embolism. For this reason, most hospitals are aggressive about taking measures to prevent blood clots, including:
The risk of blood clots developing while traveling is low, but increases as travel increases. If you have risk factors for blood clots and you''re concerned about traveling, talk with your doctor. He or she might suggest the following steps to help prevent blood clots from forming:

I threw this together last night and I just have to post the recipe. It is so quick, easy and delicious.
The Ingredients
2 small cooking onions (or one big one!) roughly chopped
3 cloves garlic roughly chopped
1 tin chopped tomatoes
1 tin chickpeas
250g mushrooms
300ml stock
2 TBSP ground almonds
1-2 TBSP tomato puree
1 tsp thyme
1/2 tsp rosemary
Pinch cayenne
1 tsp paprika
The How To
- Fry the onions and garlic until soft
- Add the tomatoes and chickpeas and ground almonds
- Add the stock gradually until you get a consistency you're happy with (I went for a little watery, but not swimming)
- Stir in the seasoning and tomato puree, then add the mushrooms. Cover and cook until mushrooms are soft.
THAT'S IT. So easy, so yummy and if you're serving it to guests they'd never know it was so simple. I served mine with cous cous that was cooked in stock with added tomato puree for a change in colour and depth of flavour. Once the cous cous is ready to serve I add a little oil to improve the texture - it works so well.

Mayor's Office
Taking Charge Public Budget Survey
Mayor Chris Beutler today encouraged all residents to take the latest online survey as part of the City's "Taking Charge" budget initiative. The survey at lincoln.ne.gov will be available through June 9. Those who take the survey will again have the opportunity to sign up for a Community Conversation between City Department Directors and Managers and members of the public on Saturday, June 2.
The Mayor said past surveys and discussions have provided valuable information as his administration develops budget proposals.
"People need to understand the choices we face and be part of the solution. We need everyone at the decision-making table," Beutler said. "I have come to strongly believe in this process because it helps us identify taxpayer preferences and develop the community consensus we need to move Lincoln forward."
The City again partnered with the University of Nebraska Public Policy Center (ppc.unl.edu) to create the survey, which simulates the decisions policy-makers face in developing the City budget for 2012-2013. Those who take the survey will make funding decisions on nine current and new City programs that cost about $2.4 million to maintain in the upcoming budget year. The decisions include:
Once survey participants make their choices, the property tax impact will be automatically calculated. If they choose not to fund any programs, the annual reduction in property taxes would be $13 (based on a house with an assessed value of $150,000). If they choose to fund all the programs, the property taxes would go up about $11 per year. The survey also includes text boxes on almost every page for participants to explain or qualify their choices.
"We are a City of a quarter million people, a small fraction of whom would have a say in the budget without our Taking Charge process," Beutler said. "Only a tiny percentage attends the annual public hearing on the budget in August or has the opportunity to share their ideas with us. By contrast, our Taking Charge process has engaged thousands of citizens over the years in a meaningful conversation. The survey and community conversation help put you in charge, so that the public interest is the priority."
The Taking Charge process began in April 2008. The latest satisfaction survey was conducted by mail in December and January, and it was followed by an online satisfaction survey in February and March. The results of those surveys are available at takingcharge.lincoln.ne.gov.

Your mom and dad get to make this call, but doctors recommend kids wait until they're old enough to care for their pierced ears. That means cleaning your newly pierced ears until they're healed. With proper care, they won't get infected and they won't close up before you have a chance to wear your new earrings! Some parents decide to have a girl's ears pierced when she's just a baby. In those cases, the parents must care for her earlobes until they're healed.
Boys also might want a pierced ear (or ears). Whether it's only one ear or both, the same rules apply. A boy needs to be able to take care of the pierced ear until it's healed.
