Seth Meyers, you crushed it. You killed it.
Well, until Jimmy Kimmel came on.
The "Saturday Night Live" funnyman and host of "Late Night with Seth Meyers" kicked off the 66th annual Emmy Awards with a hilarious roar of laughter, poking fun at the award show's move to Monday (the first time since 1976), the blurred lines of award categories and more.
"This year we're doing the Emmys on a Monday night in August, which if I understand television, means the Emmys are about to be canceled," Meyers said.
The Monday night move, Meyers said, was to avoid conflicting with MTV's Video Music Awards, which were at The Forum in Inglewood last night.
"That's right, MTV still has an awards show for music videos, even though they no longer show music videos," Meyers said. "That's like network TV holding an awards show and giving all of the trophies to cable and Netflix. That would be crazy. Why would they do that?"
Then fellow comedian Kimmel hit the stage to present.
Quickly zoning in on Matthew McConaughey, Kimmel joked about the "True Detectives" star's appearance at the television award show.
"Why is Matthew McConaughey nominated for a TV award? I know he traded his TV in for a conch full of weed," Kimmel said.
He continued to jab McConaughey, nominated for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series, saying he shouldn't be at the Emmys because he's too much of a hunky movie star while then pointing out British comedian Ricky Gervais, who he said doesn't only have a television face, but a "Netflix face."
He went on to make fans laughs, with many heading to Twitter to deem Kimmel the winner of Emmy host. "No one told Jimmy Kimmel he's not hosting tonight. Awk. #Emmys" posted @Refinery 29.
Who do you think did it better?

Since 2002 the Ride Shakedown has brought their brand of urban big air madness to the Quebexican masses at Mt. Saint Sauveur, this legendary event–which combines a progressive setup with an even more progressive format–has attracted the top crop of North American jib/jump talent and placed them in front of a crowd of thousands. The result has consistently been an event which gets it right where others, including Red Bull Snowscrapers and Boost Mobile Pro of Snow, have yet to succeed. To date the only downside of the Shakedown Canada has been its locale, Quebec. While there is nothing patently wrong with this bilingual jib oasis of the north, after all it is home to Tim Hortons, Club Super Sex, lax drinking laws and the Red Ledge, it still isn't America.
On Friday March 12th 2010 that all changed as the Ride Shakedown put it's legs in the stirrups and began pushing to give birth to a new urban snowboarding tradition in the lower 48, The Ride Shakedown US!
Located less than an hour east of Seattle, the Summit At Snoqualmie is where the Northwest alpine meets the grunge soaked urban of the greater Seatac area. While other NW resorts are content to let mother nature provide the draw, Snoqualmie is at the forefront of Washington park riding. Krush Kulesza and his able crew labor long and hard to bring quality features and events to the region. It is this ethic combined with one of the most snowboard friendly agendas of any mountain, anywhere, that makes Snoqualmie the ideal venue to introduce The Ride Shakedown to the states.
Friday's debut was a jam-packed schedule. The first event of the Ride Shakedown 2010 was the big air qualifiers. Forty hopefuls signed up online for their chance to join the likes of Tim Humphries, Alex Cantin, Austin Hironaka and Forrest Bailey in Saturdays Big Air showcase. This is where the unique format became apparent to everyone in attendance. Like the finals the qualifiers were a two hour jam session. Unlike similar sessions, the Shakedown affords the riders two opportunities to get their best tricks judged. Riders simply cruise at their own pace and then when they are "feeling it" they tell the starter at the drop in to radio the judges and tell 'em that they want their next attempt to count. In addition to indicating which runs to judge or not, the competitor must call their trick. Therefore if they don't execute what they claimed the tricks don't score. Furthermore, in the event that all goes as intended and the trick was stomped the rider must abstain from repeating said trick in their second judged attempt. This might sound confusing on paper, or pixel as the case may be, but in practice it is exciting and truly rewards those who are not only skilled but consistent and confident. While on the judging subject it is worth noting that the Shakedown utilized the opinions of Peter Line, Pat McCarthy, Ettienne Gilbert and David Aubrey to decide the results!
Late Friday afternoon the Ride Best Trick qualifiers and main event went down. Forty invited pros and a handful of qualified wild cards jammed for two hours. The street inspired setup featured a flat rail to closeout on the riders right. The middle jib was a fifteen down with a 24 inch donkey dick to make it legit. To the right was the crowd pleaser which was a triple stack of heavy gage cable spools.
Check the photos or videos for all of the action. There truly was too much happening to type and every trick called out would mean three others were overlooked. Better yet, hop in your car and head to Snoqualmie. There is still time to make the trek up Highway 90 and experience the 2010 Ride Shakedown main event finals firsthand.
Ride Shakedown Best Trick Results:
1st Place – Isabelle "Izzy" Lalive
2nd Place – Megan Whiteside
1st Place – Austin Hironaka
2nd Place – Forest Bailey, Sam Hulbert (Tie)

So sorry there wasn't a 'Friendly Friday' post last weekend. A few days ago Madeline, my mother-in-law, died and yesterday we had the funeral. Madeline raised my children while I worked and was a second mother to me, after I lost my mom over 20 years ago. We are all sad to lose her, but as she said herself, I've had a wonderful 88 years!
This weekend I'm planning two 'Friendly Friday' posts. And here are some great tips from Amber for creating a small garden...
Do you love gardening, but squeezing plants into a small yard seems like too much hassle? Let me show you how to bring your garden dreams to life. Creating a great garden in a small spot is no more challenging than organizing a small closet. The key is planning and research. After determining which type of garden you want ... cottage ... English ... vegetable ... tropical ... herbaceous ... or any combination of these, just do your research, develop a foundation plan and get your hands dirty!
When planning your garden consider the size of plants or trees when fully mature. Will they require much upkeep and if so, are you willing to dedicate the labor required to prune and care for fast growing shrubs and plants? Miniature varieties of arborvitae, boxwood and evergreens are slow growers and require little to no pruning. Many deciduous trees can also be kept small by pruning and shaping.
Cultivating a "weed-free" herbaceous border can be back breaking work. To keep weeds at bay with a minimum of elbow grease and maintain a look of fullness, consider a mix of fast-growing shrubbery such as nandina, or fern wegelia and low growing ground covers.
Embellishments in the form of garden statuary, arbors and fencing make a charming backdrop for a small yard.
This bi-level concrete tiled patio with its charming playhouse and dining area makes me long for a cocktail and some savory 'small bites' while lounging next to teak arbor. How peaceful!
Arbors make the perfect support for climbing plant varieties. And don't have to stop at roses, although they are my favorite! Great climbers include morning glories, wisteria, clematis and even a grape vine. Very little pruning for these dandies is required.
To make vegetable gardens work in a small space, just downsize the amount of veggies. A few plants from each variety, tomato, cucumber, beans, will keep you in veggies all summer. And be creative in your placement of plants. Who says you can't grow a row of corn against a fence?
I think vegetable gardens are just as lovely as flower beds. Look at the symmetry of this zen garden which also includes vegetables. Large squash plants and climbing beans are woven into the design plan along side rocks and a minimalist garden fountain.
Apartment dweller? No worries! This clever gardener used a hanging shoe bag to plant veggies!
Whatever your gardening style, it doesn't have to be compromised due to lack of space. With a little ingenuity and some elbow grease you can have a beautiful landscape in your own backyard! Happy gardening!

As some of you may know, a quirky hobby of mine is collecting magic wands. Like the old-school top hat, distinguished wands represent a legacy of magic. My humble collection consists of wooden wands, plastic wands, Harry Potter wands… and even stylized wands that could "magically" blast light out from it's tip, that I created and soldiered myself!
All that said, some wands don't last. I've bought locally crafted wooden wands that start to warp and bend after some time, because the makers didn't treat the wood properly… plus the high humidity and heat here in sunny Singapore really doesn't help.
That's why I was particularly impressed with the supremely well-made magic wands Michael Myatt of USA personally handcrafts. For his popular 2-part wands, Michael usually works with high-quality wood and metal but the special wand he made for me is a wildly gorgeous hot pink acrylic with beautiful white swirls, complete with elegant black tips.
It was love at first sight 🙂 I really love my exotic looking wand… Thank you Michael!
Magicians and wand collectors really ought to check out his website, Moonlight Magic Productions. Michael and his team of other talented artisans also make matching coin boxes and other interesting accessories. IMHO, the pictures don't do the actual products justice. IT's obvious to me that the folks at Moonlight Magic are a passionate bunch who do their work with pride.
I recently used my brand new wand as a magic prop in the recent cover photoshoot for Guardian magazine (due out in Jan 2012) and even the photographer & stylist were commenting on how stylish it looked! They fitted me into a gorgeous pink dress from a UK designer, and here's me playing Tinkerbell. Hee hee.
I'll blog more about the magazine cover photo shoot in a bit… It hits all Guardian outlets nationwide in Jan 2012, and there's apparently going to be a lifesize cut-out of me too! Now if I can only make my "clones" multi-task so I can chillax! Haha… Click here for pictures J C took while at the cover photo shoot.
Ta for now, more later!

The Next Student President
In all her history Bethel has never had a college senior as president
of the student body. Maybe this has been accidental—maybe deliberate.
Nevertheless, it's almost time for student elections, and it would be
another '54-'55 innovation if a college junior were elected to be president
for next year.
Maybe some have felt that only seminary students should be elect-ed
because they would tend to cultivate a greater spiritual atmosphere.
Actually, there are college students who bear as much spiritual impact
to the college body as any seminary student.
It could be that the previous presidents just happened to be sem-inary
students too. That's fine! It's not wrong to have seminary leaders
for college students, but it just might be better to be led by other
members of the undergraduate body if you're in that group. The sem-inary
has its own council, but the Student Senate, the representative
group of the college, is not separate from the seminary.
Perhaps this spring, when elections roll around, we could push one
or two juniors for president and several future seminary students rather
than the opposite.
The Wreck of Oedipus
The junior class play has held auditions for parts, and now the
grueling task of memorization and the application of drama technique
is under way. But a handicap to overcome is the actual production of
the play. Where will they produce it and how ?
Bethel has no auditorium to supply amply the needs presented in
play production. This is not entirely her fault because a suitable audi-torium
is in the offing of a long range program and
just hasn't been acquired yet. But Bethel could do well with some type
of an emergency auditorium to facilitate immediate needs for plays,
concerts, and other student productions.
Just a possibility might be some rennovating in the back part of
the chapel. It surely wouldn't take much expense to convert the platform
back there into a convenient little stage with small wings on either
side with a make-shift curtain. The space would require about. 20 chapel
seats, or less, which are available on the floor level by seats seldom
filled. Maybe some senior class would even donate the expense of
the work as a class project!
"Softies" at Bethel
"We never get off this lousy block."
"Yes," another voice said, "we don't get a chance to really go out
and tell people what we believe. How can we really try our beliefs if—"
A third voice broke in, "We go on gospel teams, but we aren't
on our own; we've still got our group behind us."
"How can we learn to deal with people in front of a group any-way
A number of Bethel students are troubled by this problem and
others like it. How can we grow in faith if we are spoon-fed Christian-ity
? Or is Christianity merely in style ? Are we letting ourselves be
caught up in the Christian current, drifting aimlessly along, not sink-ing
or swimming, just floating?
These are real dangers, and we have to face them as individuals.
In high school and at work we struggled to keep from going with the
ungodly crowd. In our tight little Christian community we get soft
and careless from living with our guard down. How often, for example,
we talk among ourselves in a way we would be ashamed to have out-siders
hear. And how little Christ comes into our conversation. We ac-cept
the standards of the crowd for our studying, our dating, the use
of our time and money.
One thing we can do even while cooped up on this block is to
stand on our own feet morally and spiritually. Then when we get away
again from the shelter of Bethel's walls and face hostility and indiffer-ence,
we will be equipped to stand against the crowd and testify to
our faith with a good conscience.

It also gives my dear schoolmates an opportunity to prove their

is a sort of silent honor system around here and zoom! My old art of
reading small and upside down print soared back to top form. Now can
there be any handier way ?
Then to my amazement, I discovered some other kids who were
interested in progress just as I was—progress in girls (or fellows as
the case might be), Scrabble, Rook, Pingpong, Coke bottle bowling,
Greco-Roman wrestling, wee hour jabber sessions—the better things
in life. So as the old saying goes, "Old cheaters never die, they just
pass it on." And we're just one big happy family.

Every girl wants to be marriageable. But if she wants a husband
who has high standards for a wife, it takes a lot of consideration and
It was, of course, hard for me to know what a fellow considers
important about the girl he is going to spend the rest of his life with.
I decided to ask a few of the fellows whom I considered sincere and
thoughtful. I asked them what they wanted their wife to be, and what
would attract them to "the girl." They answered along the same general
"She must have a sense of humor," one fellow said. "When you live
with a woman for fifty years, more or less, even less, she must have
a sense of humor."
Anothei fellow added that besides being able to joke, she must
know when to talk seriously, too. She must be one you can talk to
without feeling uneasy.
They all wanted her to be witty, but she should use her wit
considerately. She should be well-read so that she could talk intelligently
about a variety of topics. None of the fellows wanted a female Michael-angelo.
This is only a small phase of what a fellow expects in a wife, but
doesn't this show us what our attitude should be when we meet "the
fellow ?" Instead of getting upset wondering when he will pay some
attention to us, or if he is the one the Lord has for us, let's devote our
thoughts to preparing the kind of character he would want in a wife.
If he is so wonderful, then we should be worthy of his love.

Dear Editor:
On the front page of the last
issue of the Clarion, there was an
article about the Junior class
clothing drive.
The article was in one respect
true, inasmuch as the "warm"
clothes are still in the basement of
Edgren Residence. But you did
leave a lot unsaid and that is what
caused a misunderstanding. Al-most
everyone that I talked to
placed the blame of the Indians
being cold on the Junior class—
this is not true—the Junior class
has fulfilled their part of the
drive. The clothes are where they
told the mission board they would
be. Now we would again ask—why
don't the Indians have the "warm
clothes ?"
Action Taken
To Help Chapel
Action to eliminate announce-ments
in daily chapel has been
taken by the Student Senate in
the form of a weekly bulletin re-,
cording all activities of organiza-tions
for that week.
Letters were mailed this week
to all organizations informing
them of the proper procedures for
publication of their announce-ments.
A box marked "Activities'
Announcements" has been placed
in the hallway opposite the Stu-dent
Senate office.
All announcements must be plac-ed
in the box by 3 p.m., Wednes-day
of each week preceding the
publication date. This bulletin will
begin functioning next Monday,
February 28. Norris Magnuson,
president of the Student Senate,
expressed hope that the bulletin
may help to publicize all campus
activities more efficiently.

The Bethel Royals, avenging a
previous 79-75 defeat, creamed
Northwestern Schools by a con-vincing
80-62 margin, before a
packed out Founder's Week crowd.
The results of a united team ef-fort
began to show in the second
half. The Royals left the floor at
half-time with a 37-32 lead. How-ever,
at the start of the second
half, the Bethelmen upped their
margin and assumed complete
charge of the game. The Eagles
soon found it tough playing
defense against an offense that
sparkled due to excellent ball
handling by the entire team.
Once again the Bethel hit par-ade
was lead by Frank Burleson
and Bill Conrad. "Floating" Frank
plunked in 26 points with an as-sortment
of drive-ins, sets, and
free throws. Bill added 19 points
with a fine display of two-hand
The only consistent scorer for
Northwestern was Thompson with
16 points.
Bemidji Scores
100 - 75 Victory
With a 57-point second half
splurge, Bemidji T. C. decisively
defeated Bethel 100-75 Feb. 11 at
Bemidji. The Beavers hit 26 field
goals in the second half in an
amazing exhibition of shooting
skill. After shooting an excep-tional
45% in the first half, they,
warmed up to the task and shot
successfully 65% of the time in
the second half. They consistently
maneuvered into position for a
good shot and capitalized on it.
The leading scorer for Bethel
was Conrad with 28 points. He
scored on a very fine percentage
of his shots. Rekstad broke out
of his scoring slump with 20 but
no other Royal hit consistently.
Despite good performances by
many of the players, Bethel's de-fense
proved no match for Bemi-dji's
high scoring machine.
Second Round
of Elimination
Begins Tomorrow
The first week of the double
elimination tournament found
Southern Minnesota, Northern
Minnesota, Chicago, and Mich.-
Wisc. seeded into the winners
bracket, by virtue of victories over
Iowa-Platte Valley, West, Illinois,
and East, respectively.
The games featured the top four
teams playing off against each
other, and likewise the bottom
four teams. The losing teams will
automatically be seeded into the
losers bracket.
Tomorrow's games feature Nor-thern
Minnesota versus Southern
Minnesota, and Mich.-Wisc. versus .
Chicago, at 10 a.m. Iowa-Platte
Valley aginst West, and East
versus Illinois complete the round,
at 11 a.m.
The individual scorer's in the
first round were paced by Chuck
"ole" Anderson, of Mich.-Wisc.,
with 23 points, and Jim MacFadyn
of East, with 20 points.
Despite a 41-point scoring spree
by Howie Rekstad, Hibbing J. C.
rolled to a well-earned 101-85 vic-tory
over Bethel Saturday, Feb.
19. Hibbing showed a well-bal-anced
team with especially fine
Bethel played a fine game, as
evidenced by statistics, and cer-tainly
would win many games with
a similar performance. In fact,
they hit 44r,4 of their shots which
is an unusually good mark. Hib-bing,
however, scored on more than
50% of their shots to nullify the
Royals' fine showing.
The main reason for the defeat
was a real lack of rebounding on
Bethel's part. Hibbing was getting
a second shot frequently and con-verted
on many of these chances.
Bethel would take the ball down,
get off a shot, and go back on
defense. Unofficially, Bethel clear-ed
23 rebounds to 40 for Hibbing.
The strange thing about it was
that Bethel had a height advan-tage
under the boards.
In the second half, Bethel's of-fense
was Rekstad as he poured
through 27 points. Conrad's fine
shooting in the first half drew
the defense away from the basket,
and, with the help of fine feeding,
Howie consistently either hit a
field goal or was fouled in the at-tempt.
In the preliminary game, the
Lake Park Baptist church team
avenged an early season defeat
to the B squad.

From The Stands
by Al Stahnke
Anyone for a game of checkers ? Or how about a strenuous game
of dominoes ?
There has been continuous talk of enlarging our athletic program
so we can gain revenge on Augsburg, have undefeated baseball teams,
and join the Minnesota College Conference. Perhaps it's about time we
face a greater problem — to provide athletic facilities for interested
students who do not play for intercollegiate teams. We have an inter-mural
program which gives men an opportunity to play football, basket-ball
and softball. But an expansion of this program is necessary. About
the only recreation women students get is shaking their corn poppers.
The situation could be greatly improved by a liberalization of policy
regarding use of the gym. Could we have the gym open once a week
for a game night?
It costs one dollar an hour to light the gym or, for one night a
week, about $35 per quarter. A small fee of 25 or 50 cents added to
each student's fee statement would handle the expense. Each week dif-ferent
sports such as badminton, volleyball, tumbling, wrestling and
basketball could be played.
The fieldhouse was built for every Bethel student. Why not allow
all of us to use it?

To learn how to overcome shyness (this is the site which got me started and asked me to track my progress on a journal) you need to know where it comes from. In a recent University of California, Los Angeles study found that this negative social feedback activates the same area of the brain as when we feel pain. So, just like when you put your hand on the stove as a child and you learned very quickly not to do that again because of the pain, you can also start to avoid social situations that might result in the pain of disapproval. Trying to be confident is actually painful. Trying to be confident and the center of attention is now seen by a certain part of your mind as being a behavior that will result in you getting disapproval. Which is painful.
Here's Social Learning in a nutshell: We are constantly looking at how other people react to what we do in order to figure out what is "good" behavior. What is the behavior that we should repeat in the future? What is the behavior that we are punished or rewarded for with disapproval or acceptance? Simple. And this happens ALL THE TIME. In every interaction that you have ever had, you have looked at other people's reactions to what you are doing to see if it was "good". And you don't even know you were doing it 99% of the time. Everybody does this, subtly, subconsciously, and automatically.
"If Everyone Does This, Why Doesn't Everyone Have Shyness?"
People with shyness are born with a genetic trait that makes them see other people's responses with greater intensity than a regular person. It's a specific type of sensitivity. In other words, other people's disapproval does not have the same emotional impact on regular people as on people who eventually develop shyness. So a lot of negative reactions regular people get don't register in their brain. This lets them seem to care a lot less about what other people around them think of them than people with social anxiety or shyness.
Okay, get it? So, because you saw negative reactions when you tried to be confident as a child, you slowly developed negative feelings to social situations. This is what made you become shy or socially anxious. In summary, your shyness was caused by a combination of you being genetically predisposed to developing the condition (increased sensitivity to other's reactions), combined with being in the wrong place at the wrong time (getting disapproval to being confident).
In fact, one observation that a famous psychologist made was that people with shyness or social anxiety tended to be raised by someone who was negative, critical, and controlling of them while they
were growing up. Think about that… Was one of your parents or other authority figures very negative, critical and controlling of you when you were growing up? This can cause someone to develop excessive inhibition to avoid the negative criticism. You become shy to avoid "setting the person off", so to speak.
I VERY often hear stories from people who tell me they only started to become socially anxious when they were bullied or excluded at some point in their life. Maybe their parents decided to move, and at the new school they didn't fit in right away and felt not accepted. It's another form of social learning. Another possible cause of your social anxiety could be learning by example – maybe you had parents or an older sibling that had SA growing up and you were just imitating their behavior.
Kids are generally wired to imitate others as they are growing up. You'll even see this happening if you watch documentaries of wild animals raising their babies. Kids learn how to live and survive in the world
through copying and imitating the older people. So if everyone around you growing up was shy or socially withdrawn, then you may have been accidentally programmed that this is the "normal" way to live. Making outside friends and having a social life would be totally unknown territory to you, and therefore outside of your believed "realm of possibility". Growing your social life and learning to overcome shyness is just a matter of learning what causes it and what you can do about it.

The two recessions of the 2000s played havoc with the financial health of boomers in general, but they also may have helped 50- and 60-somethings retain their place at the top of the corporate hierarchy. According to a study published in the most recent issue of the Harvard Business Review, the average age and tenure of the top executives at the largest U.S. companies rose significantly between 2001 and 2011—mostly because a shaky global economy and wobbly stock markets discouraged top talent from retiring or taking new jobs.
For the study, management professors at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School and the IE Business School in Madrid, looked at the demographics of the top 10 executives at each of the Fortune 100 companies. The researchers found that the average C-suite denizen in 2011 had been in their field for 26.1 years, up from 24.1 years in 2001; that reversed a trend from previous years in which the average prior experience of top executives had steadily dropped. Their average tenure with their current employers also rose, from 15.2 years to 16.9 years.
The authors don't cite average age figures in their article, but they do note that "time to the top correlates with age." (As of last year, the median age for a chief executive at an S&P 500 company was 55.) Another factor could have boosted the average age even higher than the tenure numbers suggest: A growing percentage of executives have earned MBAs or other graduate degrees, increasing the likelihood that their careers started a little later.
Peter Cappelli of Wharton, one of the study's authors, tells Rachel Feintzeig of The Wall Street Journal that the 2008 crash had a particularly sharp impact on career growth on the corporate ladder's upper rungs: Top executives didn't retire, and when vacancies did open up, executives were less willing to change companies, fearing a "last hired, first fired" effect.
Cappelli also says he thinks that the logjam will start to break in 2015, even if the economy isn't much stronger: "People wear out their welcome, and even the people who are welcome don't want to stay any longer."

Urinary incontinence is the loss of voluntary bladder control that can cause leakage of urine. It can be temporary or last for a long time.
There are four types of long term or permanent incontinence:
People may have just one or a combination of these types.
Incontinence has several different causes. The cause could also be unclear.
Temporary incontinence can be caused by:
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Stress incontinence is an accidental loss of urine during physical activity or coughing, sneezing, and laughing. It may be caused by:
Urge incontinence is the accidental loss of urine when the bladder spasms for no reason. It may be caused or worsened by:
Overflow incontinence is leaking of urine due to overfilling up and overflowing from bladder. It may be caused or worsened by:
Functional incontinence may be caused by:
Some incontinence may be caused by a fistula. A fistula is an abnormal opening between the bladder and another nearby structure. The fistula can make it difficult for the bladder to act as it should.
Urinary incontinence is more common in women age 65 years or older.
Factors that may increase the risk of urinary incontinence include:
Any loss of bladder control can be considered incontinence.
Call your doctor if you have a loss of urine control. Your doctor can help you determine the underlying cause.
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. You will be asked how often you empty your bladder and patterns of urine leakage. A physical exam will be done to look for any physical causes, such as blockages or nerve problems. You may be referred to a specialist.
Your bodily fluids will be tested. This can be done with:
The flow of your urine will be assessed. This can be done with:
Your bodily structures may need to be viewed. This can be done with:
Treatments are based on the cause of the urinary incontinence.
Temporary incontinence may be relieved by managing the conditions associated with the incontinence.
Weight loss may help reduce the number of episodes due to stress or urge incontinence in people who are overweight or obese. Talk to your doctor about a
weight loss program
that is right for you.
Initial treatment relies on behavior changes and strengthening pelvic floor muscles. Behavior changes include:
Methods to increase strength in the pelvic floor muscles include:
Surgical procedures may be done for incontinence that is not responding to these treatments. Surgical options include:
Initial treatment depends on behavior changes and strengthening pelvic floor muscles. Behavior changes include:
Kegel exercises can help strengthen pelvic floor muscles and relieve some symptoms.
Medications may be recommended. Anticholinergics are the most common medication. They can relax the muscles of the bladder. Other medications may be used in combination to help manage symptoms, such as
botulinum toxin
Nerve stimulation may be used if urge incontinence does not respond to behavior modification or medication. A device will send pulses to the nerves that control the bladder. This has been shown to help stimulate bladder control. In some cases, the device is implanted in the back.
Treatment for overflow incontinence is to allow the bladder to completely empty. If a blockage is causing the problems, surgery may be needed to open the urine pathways.
Other causes of overflow incontinence may require the use of a tube called a catheter to allow urine to drain from the bladder. People can use certain catheters at home.
Absorbent pads or diapers can be used to manage urinary leakage. Plugs and patches can also be used to help hold urine in place.
A supportive device called a pessary may also be used.
Pessaries are devices that raise the uterus or the prolapsed bladder. It can decrease pressure on the bladder.

Choices abound for Central Scouting's No. 1 rankingby Mike G. Morreale
TORONTO -- Is it possible to predict the No. 1 choice at the 2014 NHL Draft in June?
If you were to ask five scouts to provide their top choice right now, you would hear several different names at the top.
At this stage in the season there seems to be four legitimate contenders in the mix for top honors: Forwards Samuel Bennett of the Kingston Frontenacs of the Ontario Hockey League, Leon Draisaitl of the Prince Albert Raiders of the Western Hockey League and Sam Reinhart of the Kootenay Ice of the WHL, and defenseman Aaron Ekblad of the Barrie Colts of the OHL.
There's also a chance forward Michael Dal Colle of the Oshawa Generals of the OHL also might sneak into the mix at some point prior to the announcement of the No. 1 selection June 27 at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia.
NHL.com on location at final meetings
A final list of the top 210 North American skaters, 140 European skaters, 30 North American goaltenders and 15 European goaltenders is scheduled for release in April. The first round of the 2014 NHL Draft will be held at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia on June 27. The remaining six rounds will be completed June 28.
Follow the 2014 NHL Draft blog this week for exclusive posts and updates directly from the NHL offices in Toronto. Additionally, you can follow Morreale on Twitter for real-time updates at @mikemorrealeNHL.
There also will be an exclusive alphabetical listing of the top-10 players from each of the major junior leagues, including the WHL, OHL and QMJHL, as well as USA-East, USA-West and the Canadian juniors and midgets, when made available.
NHL Director of Central Scouting Dan Marr and the top evaluators from the bureau will look to make sense of it all here this week at their final meeting, where the final rankings of the top 210 North American skaters and 30 goalies will be set. The six-day selection process begins Wednesday. From a separate location, NHL Director of European Scouting Goran Stubb will give his recommendations to Marr on the top 140 international skaters and 15 goalies.
"The opinions will likely be somewhat different as there have been more viewings of the players, but considering our history with the top five I would not expect the opinions of the players to vary too much [from the midterm rankings]," Marr said. "There will be much more discussion on the order of the top five from midseason to now. These players have been so scrutinized that I expect there to be quite a healthy discussion on the final ranking order."
The final rankings release will be made released next month.
In Central Scouting's midterm rankings in January, Bennett was the No. 1-rated North American skater, followed by Draisaitl, Ekblad, Reinhart and Dal Colle. Kasperi Kapanen of Kalpa in Finland was the No. 1-ranked European skater, followed by forwards William Nylander of Sodertalje in Sweden's second division and Adrian Kempe of Modo Jr. in Sweden's junior league.
Bennett (6-foot-0.25, 178 pounds) finished his second season in Kingston with career highs across the board in goals (36), assists (55), points (91), power-play goals (10), penalty minutes (118) and plus/minus rating (plus-34).
The one sure thing heading into the final meetings is that Ekblad (6-3.5, 216) will be the choice as the top defenseman available at the draft. He is fourth among OHL defensemen in with 53 points (23 goals, 30 assists) in 58 games. In three seasons Ekblad has 40 goals, 116 points and a plus-31 rating in 175 games.
"I'm always hesitant to label a sure thing any young athlete, as they have enough pressure on them in their draft year," Marr said. "I would describe Aaron Ekblad as one of the most solid NHL prospects you will find in this year's class. He is the best defenseman available and he would be projected to vie for an NHL job a lot sooner than most."
Ekblad was granted exceptional player status by Hockey Canada to be eligible for the 2011 OHL draft as a 15-year-old, a year younger than the standard age of 16, and was selected by Barrie with the No. 1 pick.
Ekblad and Reinhart represented Canada at the 2014 Word Junior Championship in Malmo, Sweden. Ekblad played well enough to earn a top-four role and finished with one goal, two points and eight shots on goal in seven games. Reinhart played a top-six role and had two goals, five points and a plus-3 rating.
Draisaitl (6-1.75, 208) represented Germany at the 2014 WJC for the second consecutive year. He had two goals, six points, and a tournament-leading 52 penalty minutes. He was fourth in the WHL with 105 points (38 goals, 67 assists) in 64 regular-season games and is considered by many to be the dark horse in this tight race to be the No. 1 prospect in North America.
The scouts will scrutinize and debate the future of all potential blue-chip prospects from within the OHL, WHL, Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, USA-West and USA-East regions, which include all U.S. colleges, prep schools and high schools, and the Canadian junior and midget leagues. Prospects from the United States Hockey League, which includes the United States National Team Development Program, will be included in the USA-West ranks.
"The NHL projection factor is always the key component, particularly with players ranked in the first round," Marr said. "Does this player have the skills, assets and intangibles to translate his game, production and style of play to the NHL?"
Five of the six prospects from the USHL that are among the top 30 on Central Scouting's midterm list are from the USNTDP U-18 team, led by left wing Sonny Milano. Milano, No. 16 on the midterm list, is second U-18 team with 47 assists and 68 points in 48 games.
"The NTDP continues to excel in identifying and developing the top U.S. players," Marr said. "There should be many of the program's players selected throughout the top- to mid-rounds in the draft. There are highly skilled forwards and power-forward candidates, as well as two solid goalies [Edwin Minney, Blake Weyrick] and a good mix of defensemen."
The top American-born prospect is defenseman Anthony DeAngelo of the Sarnia Sting of the OHL. DeAngelo, born in Sewell, N.J., is No. 10 on Central Scouting's midterm rankings and led all OHL defensemen in scoring with 71 points (15 goals, 56 assists).
"I'm looking forward to [the final meetings]," Central Scouting's David Gregory said. "I think it's going to be fun. We did a really good job of crossover [into different leagues] this year, so that always helps for good discussions all the way through the draft."
Gregory acknowledged this year's draft might be the most unpredictable in his 12 years with Central Scouting.
"It's a real interesting year," he said. "It would be considered the most wide-open that I've ever been a part of for two reasons. First, there could be a lot of change up at No. 1. Second, it's so thin and flat that after 20 to 25 players, picks could be made from all over the map."

About Jus by Julie
Nutritionist Julie started making juices simply because she was unable to eat as many greens each day as she would have liked. But after she and her husband started juicing, the results were better than they had imagined—she felt leaner and he dropped his cholesterol 70 points. After word got out on Julie's homemade juices, so many of her friends wanted some that she had to wake up at 4 a.m. each morning to make enough for everyone.
When Julie realized that she and her kitchen couldn't handle the growing demand, she decided to launch Jus by Julie, a line of blended kosher juices. The juices are blended instead of pressed so they maintain their vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and antioxidants. As a result, there are two full cups of veggies in each juice, which can be ordered individually or as part of three- or five-day cleanses.
To complement the juices, Jus by Julie now makes a line of 100% vegan, gluten-free soups. Like the juices, the soups are made from whole, fresh ingredients and contain no preservatives, artificial flavors, or added colors. All can be enjoyed chilled or hot.
