We show that a deformable mirror with four point actuators is suitable for the simultaneous correction of astigmatism and defocus in a given optical system by adequately choosing the relative position of the actuators. An analytical model is developed that describes adequately the mirror deformation as a function of actuator position, showing that it is possible to continuously tune the weight of each aberration. Experimental measurements with a single adjuster deformable mirror assembly confirm the validity of the model.

1. Introduction
The generation of ultraintense optical pulses nowadays relies on focusing high power, ultrashort laser pulses from solid-state chirped-pulse amplification systems to a near diffraction-limited spot size. Recently, a focused intensity of magnitude 1022 W/cm2 was obtained by a careful control and adaptive correction of the optical aberrations in a 45-TW Ti:sapphire laser [1]. In fact, optical aberrations are a major problem in a large laser chain, degrading the focal spot quality and dramatically decreasing the Strehl ratio and the peak focused intensity. In multiterawatt to petawatt-level Nd:glass-based laser systems, the main aberrations present can be of a static nature, resulting from the propagation inside optical elements such as grating compressors, or dynamical, arising from thermal effects in the rod and disk amplifiers, in particular thermal lensing and thermal birefringence astigmatism [2, 3, 4]. These effects, apart from inducing serious wavefront distortions, limit the repetition rate to a few shots per hour at best.
Several approaches have been used to compensate both static and dynamical aberrations in these laser systems, such as bimorph deformable mirrors (DM) coupled to a feedback loop [2, 5, 6], single-actuator mechanically DM for low order correction of thermal lensing [7, 8] and cylindrical aberration [9] and a four actuator DM for astigmatism correction [10]. While bimorph DM can provide correction for virtually any aberration, compared to the specific purpose of the mechanical type, their can be less cost-effective, particularly for large optical apertures, if the aberrations to correct fall within the most frequent ones.
To address this issue, we have developed a single actuator DM assembly with four contact points, and we demonstrate that it is suitable for the simultaneous correction of astigmatism and defocus, the most frequent aberrations in high power lasers. The balance between both aberrations can be controlled by the relative position of the four contacts.
2. Analytical model
Let us consider a flat, circular substrate of thickness h, less than half its radius a, simply supported at two ends of a diameter, and subjected to a pair of point loads P/2 at a distance b from the center, along the perpendicular diameter, as represented in Fig. 1. For small transverse deflections, we may use an analytical description for the deflected profile. According to classical plate theory [11], we have ∇∇w(r,θ) = P/D, where w(r,θ) is the deflection along z in polar coordinates, P is the total load applied, and D = Eh 3/(12(1-v 2)) is the flexural rigidity of the substrate, and E = 82×109 Pa and v = 0.206 are respectively Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio for BK7. The solution of this equation is of the form w(r,θ) = w 1(r,θ)+w 0(r,θ), where w 1(r,θ) is a particular solution and w 0(r,θ) is the solution of the homogeneous equation.
At this stage we introduce the normalized variables ρ = ρ/a and β =b/a. Given the geometry of the problem, the solutions will be different for the inner (ρ ≤ β) and the external (ρ > β) parts of the plate. As in related DM designs [7, 8], the relevant solutions are those for the inner part, so we will concentrate our analysis on them only. The particular solution in this region can be taken in the form
which corresponds to well known case of a circular plate simply supported along its boundary with a homogeneously distributed total load P over a ring of radius b, with zero deflection at the center of the plate, and upwards deflection is defined positive. This is equivalent to an edgesupported deformable mirror being pressed by an annulus of radius b [7, 8], showing a simple quadratic dependence on ρ.
Fig. 1.
The homogeneous equation must be solved simultaneously for both parts of the plate. The general solution for the external part is given by [11]
A similar solution is taken for the inner part of plate, but avoiding the terms that cause infinite deflection at the center, resulting in
where Ŕ0 = Á0+B́0ρ2 and Ŕm = Ámρm+Ćmρm+2. Therefore, for each term m in Eqs. (3) and (4) we have to determine four constants for the outer portion and two for the inner portion of the plate. These are obtained from the boundary conditions along the edge and from continuity along the circle of radius b. For this purpose, we also represent in the form of a series the two point forces at (ρ = b;θ = 0,π),
and their corresponding reactions at (r = a;θ = ±π/2),
Since the edge of the plate is only supported at two points, the boundary conditions along the external perimeter are written as [11]
Along the dividing circle we have the continuity conditions for the deflection,
The last boundary condition comes from the consideration of the shearing force along the circle ρ = β, continuous at all points except where the concentrated forces Fb(θ) are applied, expressed by the equation
Solving the system of six equations (7)-(10) yields the following result for the inner portion of the plate (again considering zero deflection for the center and taking upwards as positive):
Finally, using the superposition theorem, the deflection of the plate inside the region ρ < β is given by w i(r,θ) = w 1,i(ρ)+w 0,i(r,θ).
We will now perform an analysis of this solution in terms of Zernike polynomials. For this purpose, it is enough to consider the first term (m = 2) of the series, since each of the higher order terms as well as their total contribution are typically two orders of magnitude smaller than this term. We can therefore write the total deflection as
Let us a consider a flat wavefront normally incident on a mirror deformed according to the equation above. Upon reflection, the wavefront will acquire a deformation given by twice this function. In terms of the relevant Zernike polynomials [12], such a wavefront can be written as
where = ρ/β is now the radius normalized to the considered aperture and ai are the coefficients for the following polynomials:
Fig. 2.
The first polynomial corresponds to defocus, the second to astigmatism, and the third to a fifth-order aberration. By equalling the right hand sides of equations 12 and 13, and apart from the constant factor in Z 3( ) that does not contribute to the shape of the deflection, we obtain the solutions for the wavefront Zernike coefficients in terms of the deflection parameters,
From this, we can arrive at the important result that the ratio between the aberration coefficients of the reflected wavefront is independent of the applied force P or the mirror dimensions, depending only on the mirror material (through v) and the relative positioning of the actuators (through β). Figure 2 shows the weight of a 3 and a 11 relative to a 4 as a function of the parameter β. It is clear that by changing this parameter one can tune the ratio between defocus and astigmatism. In fact, this ratio varies in a smooth, almost linear fashion between β ≈ 0.2 (for which |a 3/a 4| ≈ 0.5) and the limit case β = 1, for which no defocus is introduced and the wavefront is purely astigmatic. In this configuration, both the particular solution (Eq. (1)) and the terms in Eq. (11) of the form m = 4,8,12… vanish, and the DM shape becomes independent of the material (i.e. of v), corresponding to a design with the point forces being applied at the edge, such as that described in Ref. [10]. We can also observe that the role of the fifth-order aberration term a11 is negligible over the considered range, being two orders of magnitude lower than simple astigmatism. For β < 0.2 the gradient of the ratio |a 3/a 4| increases sharply and using this mirror becomes impractical. However, as we will see, as β approaches zero the analytical solution is not a valid description anymore, since the internal shearing stresses, which are not considered in this pure bending model, become relevant.
Fig. 3.
Fig. 4.
In Fig. 3 is shown a calculated wavefront profile and its corresponding interferogram for the case of a 75 mm diameter, 6 mm thick BK7 mirror with β = 0.57, a value that will also be used in the experimental characterization, for comparison purposes. The mirror parameters are the same as those used below. In order to evaluate the working range of the mirror, we have performed a stress analysis by using the expressions for the radial and tangential stresses,
Figure 4 shows the results for the same parameters. Analyzing the stress distribution as a function of β , we have found that the peak values occur for σθθ at the positions of the inner actuators, clearly identifiable as the red regions in the figure. Given the limiting tensile stress of the substrate (51.7 MPa for BK7), this imposes a maximum achievable deflection for each range of parameters. Figure 5 shows the dependence of the peak-to-valley deflection for three mirror thicknesses. We can see that for low values of β, where the defocus term becomes strong, leading to an almost cylindrical shape, the deflections are limited to a few microns. As β increases and the astigmatism dominates, deflections of tens of microns are possible. Since for real systems the required corrections are normally of a few wavelengths, in general the mirror will operate well below the limiting conditions. We can also conclude that using a thinner mirror allows larger deflections, since the stresses are reduced for an identical deformation.
Fig. 5.
3. Experimental characterization
In order to evaluate the performance of a deformable mirror with these characteristics, we designed an adequate mirror mount, with a single adjusting mechanism, as illustrated in Fig. 6. An off-the-shelf Ø75 mm, 6 mm thick, λ/10 dielectric mirror is enclosed in an external frame, and its deformation is controlled by moving a rear piston by means of a sub-micron precision differential adjuster (Thorlabs DM22). The front (coated) surface of the mirror is supported at two diametral points near its edge (a = 35 mm) by means of a pair of Ø2 mm, 9 mm long hard needle rollers, inserted on the inner side of a retaining ring and perpendicular to the mirror surface. A similar pair of needle rollers is mounted on the piston surface, pushing against the back surface of the mirror at two points along a perpendicular diameter. The piston surface was fitted with holes for the actuators at ±10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 mm, in order to allow variation of the parameter β. This configuration with discrete actuators has the advantage that no special requirements on the smoothness of the needle roller tips or on the evenness of their relative placement are required, since the mirror will automatically adjust itself through tip and tilt in order to provide mechanical equilibrium between the four actuators. For the frame and the piston we used 12 mm thick aluminum alloy, which provides a good compromise between lightweightness and mechanical characteristics. From the analytical model we estimated that a force of ~5 N per actuator would be required for producing a purely astigmatic deformation of ~1 μm P-V, which is compatible with the chosen micrometer adjuster. It is worthwhile noting that in this particular configuration the defocus introduced corresponds to that of a convex mirror, i.e. an incident flat wavefront will be divergent and astigmatic upon normal reflection. This is the most relevant case, since it can be used to compensate the positive curvature introduced by thermal lensing. A different design providing positive (concave) curvature can be achieved by considering a DM frame where the back actuators are mounted near the edge of the piston at radius a, and the retaining ring has a smaller aperture, so that the front actuators can be mounted at radius b. Since we are only considering the region delimited by the innermost actuator radius, this configuration introduces little or no loss in the usable clear aperture. Additionally, we have designed our DM frame so that it can be readily mounted on a conventional Ø75 mm mirror mount, providing continuous adjustment of the astigmatism angle by simply rotating the frame.
The DM setup was oriented with the back actuators along the vertical position, and placed at one arm of a Michelson interferometer. A CW beam from a Ti:sapphire oscillator operating at 1053 nm (Coherent Mira) was spatially filtered and enlarged by using a 20x objective, a 25 μm pinhole and a f = 60 cm collimating lens. A Ø10 cm dielectric beamsplitter was used for dividing and recombining the beam, and a Ø4 cm aperture placed after it was imaged on a CCD camera. Figure 7 shows a picture of the interferometer setup, illustrating the compact size of the DM assembly. The interferometer was first adjusted without introducing any deformation to the mirror to ensure that any residual aberration present was below the level for the quoted uniformity of all the optical surfaces (λ/10), and a reference interferogram was taken, which was then subtracted from all subsequent measurements. Interferograms were then taken for each position of the back actuators, and for a range of applied forces within each position. Deformations of several wavelengths were easily obtained without any visible damage to the mirror substrate or coating. The actual force acting on the mirror was not measured, since the chosen micrometer adjuster does not provide that information. We can however estimate its magnitude by comparing the measured deflections with those predicted by the analytical model. Based on this approach, we calculated that the maximum tested forces ranged between 90 N (for β = 30 mm) to 150 N (b = 10 mm). Finally, the obtained interferograms were processed using IDEA software [13].

Fig. 7.
Fig. 8.
4. Results and discussion
Figure 8 shows typical interferograms and the corresponding wavefront profiles for a range of values of β. The deviation from the fourfold symmetry typical of pure astigmatism clearly shows that there is a superposition of this aberration with defocus inside the circles delimited by the back actuators (shown in red for the first three cases). Figure 9 shows a 3D plot of the measured wavefront for the central result, and the residual wavefront after subtracting the corresponding Zernike polynomials given in Eq. (13) (for β = 0.57 we have a 3 = 0.0637,a 4 = -0.3677 and a 11 = 0.0099), with a RMS error of 0.076λ.
Since both a 3 and a 4 have a quadratic dependence on ρ, and according to the analytical model developed these aberrations are linearly superposed, we can use a simplified parameter for characterizing the DM performance, which is the ratio between the wavefront curvature along the horizontal (θ = π/2) and vertical (θ= 0) axes. This has the advantage that it is a dimensionless parameter, is also independent of the level of deformation applied or the mirror dimensions, and is experimentally easy to estimate by considering the number of fringes along each axis of the aberrated interferogram. Horizontal and vertical lineouts passing through the center of the several wavefront profiles were taken over a clear aperture of 0.9b , in order to avoid eventual localized border deformations. To this data a quadratic fit was made, and the quadratic term was taken as the corresponding curvature. The r 2 factor was generally above 0.99, showing that the induced deformation is indeed quadratic. This data was then compared with the results provided by the analytical model, where the corresponding curvatures were defined as ∂2 w i(ρ,θ)/∂ρ2 along θ = 0 and θ = π/2. Additionally, a simple 3D finite element analysis (FEA) code was used for simulating the geometry of the DM, and the same data was extracted. The results, shown in Figure 10, exhibit a remarkable agreement over most of the range of β , showing that the analytical model provides an adequate description. For low β a deviation between the analytical model and both the measured and FEA results becomes evident. As already mentioned, this is expected, since the analytical model is not adequate when the inner actuator radius is comparable to the mirror thickness and the internal shearing stresses are not negligible. However, that is only relevant for cases with large curvature ratios (corresponding to a defocus coefficient comparable to or larger than that of astigmatism), for which this specific kind of DM design is probably not the best choice either.
Fig. 9.
Fig. 10.
In conclusion, we have demonstrated that a four-point loaded DM is an excellent choice for simultaneous correction of astigmatism and defocus, with the balance between both aberrations being given by the relative position of the actuators. We have assembled and characterized a compact and inexpensive DM and showed that it performs according to the developed analytical model over the relevant range of parameters. This mirror design can be easily integrated into existing setups, and by reversing the actuator positions it is able to compensate for either convergent or divergent wavefronts. Although in our setup the choice of back actuator positions was discrete, it is easy to implement a derived mirror with two adjusting mechanisms for faster and precise correction of both aberrations.

Man this is excellent! Boy what a taste! I used beef ribs and the sauce is just perfect. The kind of sauce that when the ribs are gone, you dip your bread in it to get it all. *s* Easy to fix and so delicious. This a winner...a keeper...and getting fixed again next Sunday. I'm glad I picked this one. Many Thanks for it.
A definite keeper! Ribs were so tender, the bone slipped right out. The preparation is simple. I added approximately 3 tablespoons bottled BBQ sauce because I found it a little too sweet for my liking. Perhaps I should have left out the brown sugar (ketchup is sweet enough).
Yum! Made exactly as directed and we had the moistest, tenderest, tastiest, fall off the bone spareribs I've ever had. It didn't say whether or not to cover, so we tented with foil for the first 2-1/2 hours and then removed and basted, basted, basted for the last 1/2 hours. Great ribs!
The sauce was fantastic....after a bit of changes! I am not really keen on ketchup, so I added 2 tsp hot pepper sauce, 1 heaping tsp of hot chili paste, about 1 heaping tsp of bbq sauce and 2 garlic, minced (a bit of horseradish would also give it a nice zing!!) I used this sauce over beef short ribs. Cooked them at 300 for 3 hours and they came out superb! My guests raved about the ribs...then came back for seconds. I would highly recommend this recipe!!!!
The sauce was wonderful and the ribs were tender and tasty. This recipe is quite similar to others I have used for barbecued ribs. Try it, you will love them. The aroma when they are cooking is worth it.

Area Info
The "Lone Star State" of Texas is like an entire country unto itself. It was the largest state until Alaska joined the U.S. in 1959; and it is still one of the most varied. Stretching 790 miles at its most distant points, Texas is home to beaches and swamps along the Gulf of Mexico; fertile, rolling hills in its heartland; arid desert in the extreme west; extensive forests in the east; windswept plains and rugged canyons in the north; and mountains rising almost to 9,000 feet.
Texas is home to some of the largest cities in the United States, as well as some of the most historic. Houston and the Dallas-Ft. Worth metroplex dominate the economic life of the state. Austin in the heartland, El Paso in the west, Amarillo in the panhandle, and Corpus Christi on the coast, are among the many other major cities.
The warm weather, spaciousness, exciting cities, and entertainment aspects are just of the few of the reasons Texas is a wonderful place to retire. There is no state income tax and cost of living is lower than the national average.

Paul 'Triple H' Levesque talks about 'Inside Out'
"Paul, WWE has tried to make movies in the past and ... well ... and ... " I said very cautiously remembering that "Paul" is pro wrestler Triple H, who is about 6-foot-4 and 255 pounds.
"Come on, don't be shy. I've seen them," Paul Levesque said.
"Well, they haven't been very good," I continued cringing.
"Things are changing," he said. "We actually have some real stars in this one!"
In the past two years, WWE Studios has made "Legendary," "Knucklehead," "The Chaperone" and "That's What I Am." And WWE likely made more money at one pay-per-view event than those four movies brought in.
But Levesque is starring with "real stars" Michael Rapaport, Parker Posey and Bruce Dern in "Inside Out," a movie coming out Friday about prison, the mob and redemption.
"I read the script and really thought it was great," Levesque said about the role originally slated for David Batista, who was hung up in contract negotiations. "This movie isn't all about action. It's a drama with a message."
Levesque, a 42-year-old Connecticut resident, enjoys making movies but doesn't want to do it for a living, like former pro wrestling stars such as Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
"I remember a conversation with owner Vince McMahon in 1999 or 2000 and he wanted the Rock and I do to more movies," said Levesque, who has been married to McMahon's daughter, Stephanie, for nearly eight years. "The Rock was really interested in that. I was crushed, really. I didn't want to do that. I loved wrestling so much and I still do today."
Levesque's most memorable role has been as Jarko in "Blade: Trinity," along with his current co-star Posey. Even after the release of this film, Levesque is taking it one movie at a time.
"I like going to work and coming home to my family, my kids and my dog," Levesque said. "If I wanted to, I could make phone calls in Hollywood and get more movie roles. But I have no interest in that. Wrestling is my passion."

Beth Wawerna, Bird of Youth frontwoman: The Rock*A*Teens are like stripping the skin off this living, breathing thing: just blood and guts. Chris Lopez, how he's singing and screaming, and the way it works with Justin's guitar parts, and all of it was this bleeding, sweating, pulsing beast. It was at times really ugly and at times really valiant.
Chris Verene: By 1996, the Rock*A*Teens, Cat Power, Smoke, and Gold Sparkle Band were beginning to have a New York scene, too.
Bill Taft: We spent a lot of time in Ryder trucks riding up to New York shows. We'd park it in front of 711 Wylie St. and load up. It was like being in a submarine with no windows.
Kelly Hogan: [There were] couches in the back, a bunch of bags of corn chips, quarts of warm Busch Light, sleeping bags, and blankets. We even hung thrift store paintings on the walls. There was a metal art deco standing ashtray duct-taped to the floor, a boom box, and cassettes. We saved big Maxwell House coffee cans with plastic lids to pee in.
Chris Verene: We used to travel up and down the East Coast from Atlanta all the way up, making stops in D.C. or Chapel Hill.
Kelly Hogan: We somehow would come out $300 in the hole each tour because our transmission would fall out every time. I remember packed Lounge Ax shows in Chicago. I remember our second record release party at the Point. It was going to be an ice storm or something, but it sold out. That was the groundswell. We started getting better opening gigs.
Chris Lopez: Superchunk was playing a show in Chapel Hill and asked us to play. A friend of mine worked with them. I might have said, "It'd be really cool if we put out a 45 on your label," or something.
Chris Verene: Merge Records is now really famous, but it wasn't a big deal then other than Superchunk. They never expected to be a multiple-Grammy-winning-motherfuckin' label [like today].
After releasing two albums with Daemon Records, the Rock*A*Teens signed with Merge Records. The band's label debut, Baby, A Little Rain Must Fall, arrived in record stores in April 1998. But in the process, the band lost two of its founding members. Hogan moved to Chicago to pursue her solo career. Verene, who did not want to continue touring, left the group to focus on his photography.
Amy Ray: I totally thought [signing with Merge] was a smart thing to do. I took that as Chris [Lopez] wanting to get more out of what they were doing.
Ballard Lesemann: I remember getting Baby, A Little Rain Must Fall in the mail and thinking, "God, this is the trashiest thing I've ever heard come out of David Barbe's studio."
Chris Lopez: When we made Baby, A Little Rain Must Fall, I played the drums on that record. Then after that Ballard joined. That's how Ballard came. Then I must have worn [the Rock*A*Teens bassist] Brandon Smith out with my neurosis.
Ballard Lesemann: They needed a tour drummer for six weeks. It blew my mind. It was summer and we were in their old Chevy Club Wagon that had no AC, the speedometer didn't work, and one of the driver's side windows was stuck halfway rolled down. It was probably the most grueling road trip I've ever taken.
Henry Owings: In late summer '98, the Rock*A*Teens played at the Star Bar every month until [the following] March. It didn't matter how drunk they were, it was always good, but messy as fuck. During that time, Benjamin [of Smoke] died. It was the closest I'd ever seen Chris [Lopez] to becoming visibly emotional on stage. It was a really hard time in town. Those Star Bar shows galvanized my view of the Rock*A*Teens. They were recording Golden Time at that point, so you could tell they were fleshing shit out. That was spine-tingling.
Philip Frobos, Carnivores bassist/vocalist: When I was 16, I'd go through all the CDs after work at Chapter 11 Bookstore in Gainesville, Ga. I noticed the Rock*A*Teens had the same record label as Neutral Milk Hotel. ... I bought [Golden Time] and thought it was really strange music. I started to really like it. Initially, I was really drawn to Chris [Lopez's] odd vocals. Now I take away from [it] the instrumentation. It's a record that's full of so many good songs where the collection itself is great. Like "In the Woods Hemlock Park" has really awesome melodies, guitar, and bass rhythms. "Little Caesar on a Bicycle" is a fucking awesome little Cabbagetown punk song.
Will Joiner, the Rock*A*Teens bassist, 1999-present: In 1999, Ballard called me up and said, "We need someone to play the bass." I pretty much learned the entire repertoire in about a week's time. Next thing I know, I'm on stage at the Bowery Ballroom in New York City opening for Superchunk at, like, a sold-out show. That was my first show. We had practiced twice.

Police find unexamined evidence in teacher case
ST. JOHNSBURY Police say theyve found unexamined evidence in the case of a Vermont couple charged in the killing of a popular Vermont teacher.
Allen and Patricia Prue face kidnapping and first-degree murder charges in the March 2012 death of Melissa Jenkins. Police allege the Prues lured Jenkins from her home, then killed her. Theyve pleaded not guilty.
The items, which include a hard drive, memory cards and 8 mm video cassettes seized from the Prues home, were reportedly found at the St. Johnsbury state police barracks. The state forensic lab hadnt evaluated them yet.
A judge approved a warrant to examine them.
Allen Prues lawyer, Robert Katims, said it seemed rather late in the game to be analyzing items that the state has had for a while.MORE IN Vermont NewsCLEVELAND In an appeal to anxious voters, Donald Trump pledged Thursday night that safety will...

- Enter road races sponsored by your local running or walking club. Many running clubs sponsor walking events too, and plenty of people walk road races even when people are running. Check out your local clubs.
- American Volkssport Association: A network of 350 noncompetitive walking clubs that organize more than 3,000 walking events per year in all 50 states
- Rails-to-Trails: A nonprofit organization that converts abandoned railroad tracks into biking, hiking, and walking trails
- Go hiking. It's walking in the woods! Check out the American Hiking Society for clubs in your area.
- Check out local walks for causes in your area. The American Heart Association, American Diabetes Association, and many others sponsor local walking events.
- Walk your dog!
Pedometers are beeper-sized devices that measure how many steps you take. They're a great way to keep track of your walking progress!
Should I walk or run?
The benefits of running vs. walking
I'm frequently asked if walking is as good as jogging. It is for both health and fitness. Many of the studies on exercise and chronic disease prevention use walking as the measurement. The risk of injury is low for walking, most everyone can do it, it burns calories, and it makes you fit and healthy. Jogging yields the same benefits as walking, but there is more impact on your knees, hips, and other joints.
Walking for weight loss
Walking, like any other aerobic activity, burns calories and will contribute to weight loss. Of course, to lose weight, you must burn more calories than you consume no matter how much you exercise, so make sure to reduce your calories if you want to lose weight, even if you're walking a lot.
Exercise is much more important for maintaining weight than it is for losing it. In fact, scientists believe it's the single best predictor of maintaining weight. Research over the past two decades clearly shows that individuals who exercise after weight loss are far more likely to maintain their weight than individuals who don't exercise.
As for walking specifically to control weight, walking is the most popular activity among participants in the National Weight Control Registry. The NWCR is a longitudinal study of more than 5,000 men and women who, in order to participate in the registry, must successfully maintain a 30-pound weight loss for a minimum of one year. The current average weight loss among the 5,000 participants is 66 pounds and the group has maintained that loss for roughly five-and-a-half years. It's tough to argue with success!
There you have it
It's as simple as walking out the door. And you'll be in good company. Walking is the most popular physical activity among adults in the United States. It doesn't take all that much time (you can incorporate it into your life), you've been doing it your entire life, you can do it just about anywhere, there are plenty of health and fitness benefits, and you'll feel good once you get going. What are you waiting for? Get out there and take a walk!

Boy, you sure are dumb. Do you think maybe Steve Forbes goes out to eat? Buys a car or two?Buys fancy audio/video equipment? Buys a house or two? It doesn't matter HOW he MAKES his money, he's taxed when he SPENDS it! Like everyone else.<quoted text>
So what you are proposing is a flat federal sales tax on all consumption to replace the income tax.
Boy do they have you buffaloed! Like Steve Forbes' "Flat Tax". You know what that would have resulted in: People like Steve Forbes who make 99.99% of their money off of investment income, paying virtually NO tax.
This is just a pathetic scheme to help the rich get richer all under the guise of being fair because everyone pays the same rate. Ever heard of the term "regressive"
Keep searching and making false claims like every liberal does, but there is no conflict in anything I've said. There have just been expansions and more clarification in each later post.

End of Year Article 2009: Sport Climbingby Bjorn Pohl - The Low Down Jan/2010
This article has been read 11,591 times
It's been a good year for sport climbing, maybe the best ever. Why?
Well, we've been waiting some time for the flood wave to come, and although there's been signs during the last few years, in comparison, they were mere ripples.The onslaught is lead by two kings, one of whom is not even a man yet, but a boy... or man boy maybe.
Anyway, his name is Adam Ondra and there's a small army of kids following him. The other king is, and this shouldn't come as a surprise either, Chris Sharma.
To say it's only about Sharma and the kids would be a mistake though. In fact, more 'middle aged' climbers than ever are pushing the limits. So, lets start with them shall we?
Maurizio Zanolla, better known as �Manolo� or �il Mago�, aged 51, made the FA of Eternit, F9a, a �dead vertical slab� at Baule in the Italian Dolomites. Coming from him, who's not called "The Magician" for no good reason, saying that he's now explored a new dimension when it comes to vertical slab climbing, well... The holds must simply be damn small!
Manolo, who's now 51, has previously repeated routes like Bain de sang, F9a, Bimbaluna, F9a+, and Thin ice, F8c, all in the same style, and he says this one is undoubtedly more demanding. He concludes your foot work must be"half decent", which must be a classic understatement.
Arthur Kubista celebrated his 45th birthday by making the FA of Der lange Atem, F9a+, in the H�llental, Austria. Interview
The week after plowing (almost literally) up a new E8 on the Lleyn Peninsula, Wales, Stevie Haston, 52, freed Descente Lolitta, a link up of several hard routes that add up to an over all grade of F9a, at Grotte de Sabart in the French Pyrenees.
Fran�ois Nicole, 42, made the FA of Amazonie, F9a, at Saint-Triphon, Vaud, Switzerland. The rather short powerful route involves a crimpy section leading up to an astonishing all points off right-hand dyno followed by another bunch of "edgy" moves.
This is the year when sport climbing became cool again andF 9a sends so common they were hardly news worthy.
Finally there's been true progress since the early nineties. The floodgates are now officially open, just join in and go with the flow. If it only were that easy...
Here's the lowdown on what's gone down, and a few words from some of the key players.
This is the laboratory of sport climbing these days (one of the sectors at Margalef is even called just that). This is the area many of the best climbers call home for shorter or longer periods of time. Leading the development, bolting tons of routes, are Chris Sharma and Dani Andrada.
Chris didn't have as much time as usual focusing on his climbing this year however. The reasons were two, the building of his new house and his slide show/video tour. For most, this would mean a significant decline in shape. Sharma... not so much. In fact, if anything, he seems stronger than before. He started off in February with an ascent of Demencia senil, a super steep and powerful F9a+, on shallow monos and two finger pockets, at the Laboratory, Margalef.
Then, in May, it was time for Pachamama, an endurance feast of small pinches and slopey side-pulls at Oliana that, according to Chris, is his most difficult F9a+ yet.
His major ascent of the year came late though: The mighty Neanderthal, 9b, at Santa Linya. This route is only the second to climb the whole giant cave.
Dave Graham described the route:
"The route is like a F9a (more or less) which is comprised of something like four Font 7C blocs on a row, very resitant, on pinches and kinda crack like features. There are some holds to shake on in between the last Font 7C and the crux, which is this dyno. The dyno is a move from a crimp and a two finger pocket to a sloper brick. Then there is a jug after a couple more moves. The boulder must be Font 8A minimum.
Then there is a small rest, a small boulder, maybe 3 moves, not so hard, then a big rest. Then it is a maybe F8a+/8b route to the end of the cave, out another little bulge.
Thus the route is something like a F9a, to a Font 8A bloc, to a big rest, which makes solid F9a+ or easy F9b? Then about F8a+/8b route outro climb after a big rest in a break. This is Neanderthal."
Czech climber, Tom�s Mrazek has been tearing it up too. First at Misja Pec, Slovenia, where he made the FA of Xaxid hostel, F9a/+, and then at Santa Linya, repeating Open your mind direct, F9a/+, and Analogica, F9a/+, before making the FA of a 120m ~9a traverse, crossing the whole cave.
Another center of gravity this year was the Frankenjura in southern Germany. Markus Bock has put in tons of work repeating and creating heaps of hard routes in the area during the last few years, preparing the arena for Adam Ondra, as it were...
His biggest contribution this year was The man that follows hell, in the Gr�nen H�lle (Green hell) the 2nd F9a+, and a perfect weekend project for Adam next year. I say this because a pattern has emerged. Markus puts up F9a's, and Adam swiftly repeats them in short time on his weekend raids. In 2009, one F9a+, Corona, and four F9a's went down in this fashion. All of these were 2nd ascents. Isn't it about time he started paying his dues by making a few first ascent of his own?
Franken wasn't an all guys' affair this year however, Sarah Seeger wanted part of the fun. In May, she raised a few eye brows by climbing Ronin, F8b+/c at the Zwergenschloss, and then a few more in October by becoming the first woman to climb a proper F8c in the area by doing Steinbock at Orakel.
OK, back to Ondra. Let me put it this way: Some of you probably remember a few years back when Stevie Mac made headlines by onsighting or flashing a 100 F8a's and up in a year. Now, we all know Stevie ain't weak, and not exactly bad at onsighting, and he still had to work pretty hard to reach this goal of his.
This year Adam onsighted or flashed ~120. ~20 were F8b+ and up. At Covolo in Italy, he onsighted two F8c's, Una vida nomada and Nagay, and one F8b+ in one, yes one, day.
I asked him a couple of questions about his year:
What will you remember the most from 2009 and why?
The things where I fought the most, for example the first ascent of Fugu, 9a, at the Schleier Wasserfall. It is just such an amazing place high above the ground. It was just before sunset, everything was so calm and there was just the rock and me fighting as hell.
Or The Essential, 9a, in the Frankenjura, where I was sliding off on the wet moss just under the chains, but I managed to keep on the rock.
Or the flash of The Vice, 8B, in the Rocklands, South Africa.
Which route are you the most happy to have done and why?
Marina Superstar, 9a+/b, at Domusnovas/Bronx, Sardinia. It was the main goal of the year and I succeeded.
Other significant ascents from the young Czech were:
Plus a further 12 9a's, one FA, Fogu, and the rest 2nd ascents, for example Om and Im Reich des Shogun, both of legendary status.
Here's an interview Pierre D�las made for Beal.
The third centre was the Gorges du Loup, or to be more precise, the D�v�rs�, or �Deverland�, an extremely steep crag with lots of tufas a 45 min drive north west of Nice.
14-year-old Enzo Oddo is a local here. Some would call him the next golden child, after Adam Ondra, and why not? After showing great promise last year, with ascents up to F8c+, a level most 13 year olds would be quite content with, he made another break through this autumn repeating no less than five routes in the 9th grade
Other climbers who were successful here include Dave Graham, Anatole Bosio, Daniel Woods, G�rome Pouvreau, Sachi Amma, Jon Cardwell, Joe Kinder and several more.
What about the ladies? Yes, what about them?
Jenny Lavarda had a really good year. In June she started showing signs of what was to come, by redpointing the steep Reini's vibes, F8c/+, in the Pueblo setor at Massone, Arco, fighting her way to the chains in a temperature soaring around 30 degrees.
What was to come, was the first female ascent of Maurizio Zanolla's Solo per vecchi guerrieri, F8c+/9a a four pitch MP at Vette Feltrine in the Italian Dolomites. The name means �only for old warriors�, and although Jenny is by no means old, she is actually a sport soldier, so the name is still somewhat fitting. To keep things peaceful at home, her boyfriend, Marco Ronchi, repeated it the same afternoon.
Maja Vidmar:
Along with Jenny, Maja Vidmar made the hardest female ascent of the year by climbing Attila Lunga, F8c+, at Baratro, near Trieste, Italy. The plan was to get some good photos of Maja on her F8c+ project but already on her first go, she fell close to the chains and on her next go, she bagged it!
I said in the beginning, hard sport climbing really starts at F9a these days, and as for the British, no one but ol' Stevie Haston got there this year. Steve McClure, made some really impressive ascent this summer, doing three F8c+'s inspite of way too hot conditions really: Hubble, Bat shadow and Klemow Mecca (Weedkiller-Klemow lip-Mecca extension).
Tom Bolger, who's moved down to Lleida in Catalu�a, thought he got there, and perhaps he did. Time will tell. From his blog:
�Today I did my first 9a, Guilty Perpetua (FA), which is a link-up in the 'Old Skool' Disblia cave. It links Guilty, a hard 3 bolt 8b+ (font 8A at least) into the top of Cadena Perpetua. Cadena perpetua is a hard 8c that I have already done, the top section being 8b+ in its own right.
I don't really like breaking down the route into graded sections because when comparing them to other routes there are so many varients to be considered i.e. the size of rests etc. Regardless, this is my hardest route to date and the most direct line through this awesome cave and I'm really psyched for people to come and try it and give their opinions.�
As it turned out, Ram�n Julian Puigblanque had already got there and made the FA and given it F8c. Ram�n's logic for making hard 8b+ plus hard 8c equal 8c, was that there's a really good rest where you (according to him) can recover fully. 8c+ anyone?
In September, Stewart Watson succeeded on Mordor, F8c+/9a, at Niederthai, Austria. Describing his redpoint efforts to UKC, Stewart said:
"I made fast progress with this route and thought I could climb it pretty fast but I had totally underestimated how hard the crux was after climbing 20m of 8c to get there. The crux section involves very explosive moves on crimps and it took me a long time to be able to commit to the explosive crux sequence and to just go for it. After two years of attempts I finally climbed the route on Sunday the 6th of September and I'm sure that you could hear my cries of joy in the UK!"
The route took Stewart over 15 days of attempts spread over a two year period.
Wales based trad climber Pete Robins made a rare ascent of the hard F8c Liquid Ambar at Lower Pen Trwyn, Llandudno. Although graded F8c this route is though of by many to be F8c+ and has seen less than a handful of ascents.
Pete Robins on Liquid Ambar:
Fred Rouhling deserves to be mentioned. In March he did the FA of Empreintes, F9a/b.
"It's a very gymnastic route with far between the holds and a powerful crux. It starts with an old soft F7c route. The new part starts with a great dyno in a roof, to catch a flat hold (7C/+ boulder grade) with a bad fall (scratch to a vertical part...).
After three more moves we get to a very hard jump (8A/+ boulder grade) which is far and has a very uncomfortable start (also a strange hold to catch on the top). The finish is also hard with extreme body tension moves with so far between the holds ( I think this other part can be grade 8A boulder for 5 moves).
This route is comparable in style to Hugh one of my old 9a but a level harder."
Charlotte Durif, Caroline Ciavaldini, Aliz�e Dufraise and Mayan Smith-Gobat have all climbed one or more F8c.
Dozens of guys have climbed 9a's, but we don't have space to mention them all.
So, that's it... At least some of all that went down last year. What this year holds in store, no one knows (to be honest I do actually, but I won't tell you just yet!).
Will we see the first F9a flash? Possibly. F9b+? Probably. More F9b's? More than likely.
