I did not want to put this book down, lucky for me it only has 148 pages. I could so relate to this story for two simple reasons, I was a teenager at one time and now I am raising teenagers, three to be exact. As parents we tend to forget that we were young once, and had moments when we thought our parents were the worst ever. Time usaually allows for a change of heart as we grow older, wiser and find ourselves dealing with our own teens.
LETTER TO MY DAUGHTER [2] is about fifteen year old Elizabeth who has stormed out of the house angry with her parents. Her mother, Laura, worried and not sure what to do begins putting her thoughts on paper. It is a letter she has every intention of giving to her daughter when and if she returns. The pages are filled with all that she meant to say to Elizabeth but never did.

How important is agriculture to us? Someone put it in perspective when they said burn down our cities and save just our farms and our cities will spring up again as if by magic; but destroy our farms and the grass will grow in the streets of every city.
And nowhere else could that be more true than West Texas. That's why this Thursday, March 8th, Lubbock will celebrate National Ag Day.
In fact, farmers, dignitaries, universities, corporations, and many others will unite all over the country with a goal to recognize the huge impact agriculture has on our daily lives.
Consider this:
Not unlike Mother's day, Valentine's Day, Presidents' Day or any other national holiday, Ag Day is a time to appreciate something special.
I don't think any of us really take enough time to consider how important the role is of our South Plains farmer.
So join me this Thursday and set aside some time to shake a farmer's hand, thank someone in the ag industry, and simply recognize the efforts of the ag community to put food on our plates, clothes on our backs, and money into our economy.
We want to know what you think. Voice your opinion by commenting below, by e-mailing us at firstname.lastname@example.com or by writing us at:

I know that I'm a little bit late on this (it happened almost a week ago), but I thought it was something I should touch on.
Last Saturday, WSU defensive lineman Andy Roof (a graduate of East Valley High School in Spokane) was arrested for assault at a late night party in Pullman. According to reports, Roof allegedly head-butted a guy when he wouldn't let him into a private party; punched another guy unprovoked; then slammed another person's head into a stop sign.
The police report (published in the Daily Activity Log on the Pullman Police Department website) shows that several police officers, the fire department, and EMS were called to the scene. They arrested Roof (who, according to several people at the party, appeared to be under the influence of alcohol) and booked him on suspicion of fourth-degree assault (a misdemeanor).
Here's the real problem with the situation: Roof "appeared to be under the influence of alcohol."
Roof did not play last year because he broke Wazzu's (not the team's, but the school's) "three-strike" alcohol policy (the last offense was a DUI). In an article written by the Seattle Post-Intelligencer's Jim Moore on April 4th (a little more than three weeks before the incident), Roof described how he had gone through rehab and hadn't even sipped a drink in 10 months:
"There comes a point where the consequences outweigh the fun," Roof said. "It was time to grow up.
"I had some stressful times after I got the DUI, but I knew something needed to be done. I wasn't drinking responsibly, and I knew I was better off to stop drinking (completely)."
I asked members of the WSU Sports Information Department about the status of Xavier Hicks (he was still facing charges after he put rubbing alcohol in his roommates contact case) and Roof at the start of spring practice. They told me that Paul Wulff was going to give them a clean slate, because those incidents/problems happened before he arrived on campus. This incident though...he has to deal with.
Bill Stevens, the head of the SID office, told several members of the media that the coaches are gathering more information before deciding any penalties. It might not be up to them. The school will also review the incident...there's a possibility Roof could be expelled. The courts might also have something to say about this (there's a chance the charges could become a felony, because it sounds like one of the victims has broken bones).
It's hard for me to judge what the team should do. I'm sure my college experience was different than a lot of people, but I heard or saw similar "fights" like this happen quite a bit (not as dramatic as slamming someone's head into a stop sign...and not trying to justify it). If Roof really has a drinking problem, then the school should look out for his best interest and get him away from WSU (the "college atmosphere" obviously does not help his cause). If he can stay clean (which he did for ten months), then I always believe in a second (third, fourth, or fifth) chance.
I just hope the kid gets his "stuff" figured out, stays out of trouble, and graduates school (even if that means he never steps on a football field again).
P.S. On a lighter note: Former Cougar running back Rueben Mayes was elected to the College Football Hall of Fame today. Here is the official release from Washington State University:
PULLMAN, Wash. - Former Washington State record-setting All-America running back Rueben Mayes has been selected for induction into the College Football Hall of Fame, the National Football Foundation announced Thursday.
"I am completely humbled to have been selected for this prestigious honor and represent Washington State," Mayes said. "It means to a lot to me and my family. My wife of 20-plus years, whom I met at Washington State, and my two sons Logan and Kellen, were very excited about the award."
Joining Mayes in the Class of 2008 are quarterback Troy Aikman (UCLA, 1987-88), running back Billy Cannon (LSU, 1957-59), offensive tackle Jim Dombrowski (Virginia, 1982-85), linebacker Pat Fitzgerald (Northwestern 1994-96), linebacker Wilber Marshall (Florida, 1980-83), offensive guard Randall McDaniel (Arizona State, 1984-87), quarterback Don McPherson (Syracuse, 1984-87), tight end Jay Novacek (Wyoming, 1982-84), split end Dave Parks (Texas Tech, 1961-63), nose guard Ron Simmons (Florida State, 1977-80), running back Thurman Thomas (Oklahoma State, 1984-87), and quarterback Arnold Tucker (Army, 1944-46).
Additionally, two coaches were named to the induction class, John Cooper, who amassed a career record of 192-84-6 at Tulsa, Arizona State and Ohio State; and Lou Holtz, who boasts a career record of 249-132-7 while coaching at William & Mary, North Carolina State, Arkansas, Minnesota, Notre Dame and South Carolina.
Mayes is the first Cougar player to be inducted into the Hall of Fame since tackle Glen "Turk" Edwards (1929-31) was enshrined in 1975, and the third player overall. Center Mel Hein (1928-30) was the first Cougar to be inducted in 1954.
He also joins head coaches Orin "Babe" Hollingbery (1979) and Forest "Evy" Evashevski (2000), giving WSU five individuals in the Hall of Fame. Hollingbery coached WSU from 1926-42, while Evashevski coached the Cougars from 1950-51.
"This school means a lot to me for not only my athletic career, but also my professional career," said Mayes. "A lot of people helped me along the way, from high school and collegiate coaches to mentors at a number of different levels."
Mayes led the Pacific-10 Conference in rushing as both a junior and a senior, garnering league player of the year honors following each season. He completed his career as the Cougars' all-time leading rusher and ranked sixth on the conference career rushing list with 3,519 yards. He was the first Cougar running back to post back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons and held WSU's single-season rushing mark of 1,637 yards for more than 20 years until Jerome Harrison eclipsed that mark in 2005.
"One of my fondest memories at Washington State was beating the Huskies in the Apple Cup my senior year," Mayes said. "The culmination of my final game as a collegiate athlete and the history behind the game made for a memorable experience. It was also really cold, I will never forget that."
As a junior Mayes set WSU, Pac-10 and NCAA Division I records with 357 rushing yards against Oregon. He also had 216 yards against Stanford the previous week, setting WSU, Pac-10 and NCAA records for rushing yards in consecutive games (573 yards).
"The Stanford game really ignited our team," said Mayes. "I had been injured the year before, and I worked really hard heading into my junior season. We had a great game as a team against Stanford, and against Oregon we had to run the ball because it was so wet. We ran the draw a ton and we kept getting yards. I didn't realize how many yards I had until the end of the game."
Drafted by New Orleans in the third round of the 1986 draft, Mayes was named the NFL Rookie of the Year after rushing for 1,353 yards in his first year with the Saints. He played with New Orleans through the 1991 season, earning selections to the Pro Bowl in 1986 and 1987. After playing five years with the Saints, Mayes played two seasons with the Seattle Seahawks before retiring. His professional totals included 866 carries for 3,484 yards and 23 touchdowns in seven seasons.
Mayes was inducted into the WSU Athletics Hall of Fame in 1993.
P.S.S. The WSU baseball team takes on two-time defending national champion Oregon State this weekend. They play Saturday (5:30pm), Sunday (2pm), and Monday (12pm). Last year, Wazzu stole two out of three from the Beavers.

Blood Pressure Concerns
By James Keough
Not so long ago, you either had high blood pressure or you didn't. Your blood pressure could even flirt with the high normal range without anyone getting overly worked up about it. The same held true for elevated-but-still-normal blood sugar levels. But all that changed over a 10-year period as the medical profession established new benchmarks and reclassified the old "normal" as "preconditions."
For blood pressure, that happened in 2003. The Seventh Report of the Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure (JNC-7) set guidelines for pre-hypertension by defining normal blood pressure as less than 120/80 and setting the optimal level at 115/75. That same year, the term pre-diabetes gained new meaning and considerable traction when then-Health Secretary Tommy Thompson used it to warn Americans of their high risk of developing diabetes. Ten years earlier a committee hosted by the World Health Organization had established bone mineral density readings as the new measure for osteoporosis and at the same time created a new precursor called osteopenia.
At first blush, the concept of preconditions makes perfect sense. If you have a disease like diabetes, then ipso facto, at some point prior to your diagnosis your blood sugar levels became pre-diabetic—not in the sense of "before" diabetes, but rather as in "leading up to" the disease. And theoretically, once you learned that, you and your doctor could take action to make those levels normal again and thus prevent the onset of the disease. And in an ideal—and perhaps less complicated—world that's what would happen.
The value of a precondition
When asked about the value of reclassifying "high-normal blood pressure" as pre-hypertension, a doctor joked that previously the only thing his patients heard when he used the old term was "Hi, your blood pressure is normal." For him—and for a good deal of the medical profession—the new precondition underscores the seriousness of the situation for patients. How bad is it? Studies show that compared to people who have normal blood pressure, those with pre-hypertension (120/80 to 139/89) have three and a half times the risk of heart attack and more than one and a half times the risk of coronary artery disease. Other studies have shown that starting at the new optimal level (115/75), the risk of heart attack doubles with each 20-point increase in systolic blood pressure (the top number) or 10-point increase in diastolic blood pressure (the bottom number). Pre-hypertensives also face a vastly increased risk of developing high blood pressure. The Framingham Heart Study found that within four years of baseline testing, 39 to 53 percent of people with high-normal blood pressure (the top half of the current pre-hypertension range) progressed to stage 1 hypertension.
These are not good odds—and they get worse the older you are when first diagnosed with pre-hypertension and the longer you ...

Who are you and what do you do?
I'm an artist/illustrator based out of Sydney, I've been doing this thing for a couple of years now but this was the first year I started doing it full time out of a studio. My work explores notions of artifice and superficiality.
What is your best bike memory? Do you ride now?
I was a heaps fat kid so my parents bought me a bike so I could lose some weight. I used to go for rides for like two hours a day in the park near where I lived and it was pretty awesome, that was a simpler time. I live in the city now and I had a bike that I'd use to ride to and from the studio late at night but it got stolen out of my apartment garage a couple of weeks ago, they ripped the lock straight out of the wall too! Ahh city living.
Three words to describe your ply-bike…
I didn't want to paint on the ply bike so I did an illustration that played on the 2D/3D nature of the ply-bike and the nature of authenticity in bike culture, I used to ride a lot when I was young and it wasn't a big deal but now people are all of a suddenly really serious about it. I did an image loosely based on Tron.
Who are you and what do you do? I'm Riki Salam, Creative Director for Gilimbaa and I paint stuff!
What is your best bike memory? Do you ride now? My greatest bike memory was when I turned 12 years old my parents bought me my first ever BMX - it was a Chrome moly Mongoose with white spider-mags and blue safety pads, it was the greatest bike to ever hit the streets and makeshift dirt ramps of Cairns, or so I thought! I loved that bike. Today you can find me on the roads of Bris Vegas commuting to and from work on my Flat-Bar Road Merida Speeder T1.
Describe your ply bike (collaboration with David Williams) Our bike is the Deadly Treadly. It's all about a Reckon - cycle - nation!
Who are you and what do you do? My name is David Williams, and I'm the CEO of Gilimbaa, Indigenous Creative Agency.
What is your best bike memory? Do you ride now? One of my fondest memories was the BMX bike I got for my 9th birthday which was a blue Intrepid. Nothing too fancy, but was the necessary item to get around on as a kid growing up in Rockhampton. I was known as the Evil Knievel of the kids in the neighbourhood. You know when you might think it's a good idea to build up a dirt jump to cross a 5 metre canyon like creek bed down at the local park, well we did that, but nobody was game to be the first to jump it. Enter stage left, me. Trying to get status amongst the older kids, i'd try it, survive it and would look for the next challenge. Little did I know that the next challenge would land me in hospital.
These days, you'll find me on my Avanti Aggressor hard tail shredding the trails of Gap Creek Reserve in Brisbane on the weekend, or on my Specialized Tarmac roadie putting some km's is on the commute to work, doing some laps around Mt Coot-That, or on the ever faithful River Loop on the weekends.
Favourite time of year to ride:
August- The Flight Centre MTB Epic 100km's of pain.
October- Wilson HTM Brisbane to Gold Coast ride.
Three words to describe your ply bike? Interesting, fun and deadly!
Facebook events have been posted for all our Festival happenings. Click to RSVP for Ride check out what else is on offer during the Sydney Bicycle Film Festival.
Who are you and what do you do? Mark Alsweiler, emerging artist originally from New Zealand now living in Sydney.
Do you have any childhood memories of riding? Now that you're older, do you still ride? Had a few bikes growing up. The best present Santa ever got me was my first
bike - a bright yellow BMX. I now have an old rusty machine (Neil) living in my
hallway, think his traveling days are over though, a fallen soldier. In need of a newbie.
Three words to describe your ply bike… Olden Golden Livin
Who are you and what do you do? I am a little human from Syd City. I am generally a photogrpher by trade. I do a little stencling around the place on occasion and have love for people expressing themselves through visual art in public places (from tags and graf to stencil art, sculpture and any other way peoples enhance the urban enviroment around them by interperating aesthetics).
Do you have any childhood memories of riding? Now that you're older, do you still ride? Ive always had pushies since the time I could walk.
Its one of the few constants in my life and my dad was always good at repairing them. My grandfather actually had a pushie shop. I remember really clearly my dad letting me go at the top of a hill in Coogee near my house. I was just off my training wheels but didnt quite have a grasp on the back peddle brake thing.
I flew straight across a busy street at the bottom of the hill just missing cars both ways and ended up going over the handlebars when I hit the oncoming gutter.
There was plenty of skin off and my nuts where blue and purple for a week!
My brother raced BMX at a national level all through the 80s. I am on my pushie every day and I love riding in summer (sans shirt/backpack) super blazed with Roots Manuva (or Skiphop) bumpin throuh my earbuds.
Three words to describe your ply bike… Clean. Cool. Contemporary. The approach is definatley to do something really tactile and to make it more dimensional.
Who are you and what do you do? I'm Rachel Jessie-Rae - painter of colours and glitter worked up from stickers, currently making kitschy pop art goodness from The Blender Studio, Melbourne. This year I'm frantically running around doing kids drawing projects, learning about fashion and working out new ways to use my drawings on skin, clothes and computers.
Do you ride a bicycle? Where is your favourite place to ride? I was just recently shot for the Northside Ladies Bicycle Calender in a kelp seaweed two piece on a tributary of the Yarra river near Dights Falls pulling a cute old yellow bike out of the water (also covered in seaweed!) haven't seen the shots yet but will post 'em up when they've been developed. Concept by local dance floor party cowboy Jamie Valiant. When I'm not being a swamp monster I ride everywhere around Melbourne. Love it!
Describe your ply bike… My approach to my bike is the same as i would approach a canvas - lay down a layer of paint, i chose yellow as it was my favorite colour at the time and then set to work obliterating the yellow with other colours and lines. I work pretty intuitively looking for where movement and form come together and then adding layers of decorative paint and glitter as I go. I painted the wheels in black and gold triangles and a carnivalesque mood came to the bike so I just ran with that for a bit- up turning old boxes to get dried glue chunks of old glitter paintings worked in for some texture…. a bit of sky blue glitter magic here and there a bit of varnish and voila! We got drunk at the studio the next week and did a sweet photo shoot of myself riding the bike with fashion designer and stylist Kathryn Jamieson directing the madness! More photos for me to post when I get them! The ply cut out is awesome and I want to use this idea in my work somewhere down the bike track of art making…..
Who are you and what do you do? Ooh I don't like this question and am excited to answer the next one so maybe I'll come back to this. Okay, ready now. I'm part photographer, part surfer, part music lover, part book lover, part food lover, I like film way more than digital and photographs that depict reality more than contrived reality. I like the cold as much as heat and rain as much as sun and it invariably dictates where I point my camera.
What is your first memory on a bicycle? Now that you're all grown up, do you still ride? It's probably one of my earlier memories - learning to ride my bike at The Western Plains Zoo at Dubbo. I got swooped by a magpie and fell off… Yep, I still ride now, mainly to commute. My FAAAAVORITE time to ride, rather than being a particular time of year is anytime between midnight and dawn, coming home from a night out, no traffic on the road, inspiration in my ears.
Three words to describe your ply bike… IN PLANNING STAGE. As per usual it's been the idea that I've found most difficult to come up with. I've toggled between ideas of decoration, protest, statement and self-expression and have finally hit on a goer! It's going to involve the expertise of an… ahh… expert in the application of my idea and it'll be as educational as it'll be creative. It'll also be very much experimental so fingers crossed!
Who are you and what do you do? I'm Fleur. I work 9-5 as a Graphic Artist at The Just Group, and 5-9 as a Freelance Illustrator and Designer.
What was your first bike like? Do you still ride? My first bike my Grandpa made me from old bike parts he got from the tip. He loves going to the tip and collecting things to fix. My bike was a little red steel tricycle with white handles and a white seat. I used to fang around on it up and down their balcony when I would visit them in QLD. The bike is still at their house and it comes up to my knee. I still ride, I have two bikes, a black road bike and a red and white cruiser. I used to ride every day to work in Richmond until I got hit by a car on Chapel Street riding home one afternoon. I've just started getting back on my bike.
Three words to describe your ply bike… Your Grandma's Secrets.
Who are you and what do you do? Ben Brown. I work from a studio in Manly with 3 other visual mercenary types. We cover a fair bit of ground between us all - I specialise in skulls, zombies, death metal skate fiends, punk rock surf bums and strong coffee drinking. There are commercial and self indulgent elements to my work, but I try to fool people in to giving me money for all of it.
Did you have a bike as a kid? Do you have a memory from that time?
Do you have a bike now? If so where / when is your favourite time to ride?
I was given a brand new red malvern star dragster for my 9th birthday. the thing never worked properly, always some kind of malfunction, too many gears, bells, sissy bars - the works. After a few months of constant disappointment I stripped the thing back to an old regular seat - back pedal brakes, and painted it black with house paint. From that point on it was beast and was on active service until I was 16 or 17. I have a bike now. It is an ex rental from Manly Cycles which is kept in the studio and sees action as the lunch bike or the surf check bike.
Three words to describe your ply-bike…My ply bike is entitled 'the ghost bike' and has a dual personality. It is cycling metaphor reflecting the good and evil which exists in us all.
Who are you and what do you do? David Homer. I spend my days doodling, scribbling, painting and pushing pixels around. Sometimes, at the end of a long day, an album cover pops out. When they finally appear, this is where I put them - www.debaser.com.au
Did you have a bike as a kid?
I've had too many bikes to remember them all. But, my favourites were always hideously ugly bastards, usually an unholy alliance of old BMX frames, dragstar handlebars, racer seats – just whatever I could poach off my friends and occasionally, people I met in the supermarket. I still love the ugly ones the most.
Three words to describe your ply-bike….
I think I've broken it. (that's 5 words)
Who are you and what do you do?
I'm Caitlin Shearer, a young illustrator currently living in Sydney.
Did you have a bike as a kid? Now that you're all grown up, where's your favourite place to ride?
I was really great at riding a bike with training wheels as a youngster, but never graduated onto a proper grown ups bike (which is really very embarrassing). We had an open plan house, and I remember opening all the doors and riding around the house in circles for hours. Nowadays I just dream of a shiny bike with a basket and peddling down a smooth street on a crisp autumn day. One day it'll happen - I just have to find someone to teach me how to ride. :)
Three words to describe your ply-bike….
Fancy, fruitful, fabulous.
Who are you and what do you do?

Did you have a bike as a kid? Now that you're all grown up, where's your favourite place to ride?
I had a Myers BMX and a Gordonson (WA) racer with the handlebars turned up. Used to ride to school every day and stop off in the sand dunes for ciggies. I now have a Giant Bowery single-speed and ride from Summer Hill to Broadway every day without the ciggie break. Current best time: 16 minutes.
Three words to describe your ply-bike…
Death on Wheels.
Here is a little look at the journey all over Sydney that a couple of the Sydney Bicycle Film Festival Producers took a few weeks ago, delivering flat bikes to artists for our exhibition, Ride: Life in the Bike Lane. Stay tuned for more updates on the exhibition and all things bikes.

A quick, painless test measures blood pressure: A rubber cuff is wrapped around your arm and inflated, which compresses an artery in your arm and momentarily stops your blood flow. The pressure in the cuff is slowly released and, as blood begins to flow, your blood pressure can be measured either with a stethoscope or a device that recognizes the sound made by the flow of blood.
Blood pressure readings are a double measurement of the force of the blood against arterial walls. The two measurements indicate how much pressure builds up in the arteries as the heart beats and between beats. The first, higher number is the systolic pressure, which indicates the heart's pumping force. The second, lower number is the diastolic pressure, which indicates the amount of stretchability, which is worse when the arteries stiffen due to age or cholesterol buildup.
The higher the blood pressure, the more resistance there is to blood flow. A blood pressure level with the systolic less than 120 and the diastolic less than 80 is considered optimal. If the systolic is 120 to 139 or the diastolic is 80 to 89, this is called prehypertension regardless if one of them is normal. If the systolic is 140 or higher or the diastolic is 90 or higher, this is called hypertension (high blood pressure) regardless of whether one of the readings is normal or in the prehypertensive range.
To make a diagnosis of prehypertension or hypertension, your doctor will measure your blood pressure over several visits, or you may take your blood pressure at home. If the pressure is usually above 140/90, then the diagnosis of hypertension is made. If the majority of the readings are between 120/80 and 139/89, then the diagnosis of prehypertension is made. Hypertension is a sign that the heart is working too hard to pump blood through the circulatory system because of narrow and/or inflexible arteries.

I'm a bit dubious about the water stuff.
When we take a shower, we're not consuming water. We're consuming the energy required to pump the water to our house, heat it, pump it to the treatment plant, treat it, and pump it back out again.
Saving water in the US isn't going to make more water available for Australia.
And of course water-intensive agriculture occurs in areas where irrigation infrastructure is well-developed – again, reducing water use there isn't going to make more water pop up somewhere else.
not true. when you take water out of the river to irrigate the desert, there will be no more water at the end. look up the history of the aral sea and lake chad.
