Posted by ESPN.com's Matt Mosley
LANDOVER, Md. -- Almost everyone in the FedEx Field press box has stopped what they're doing to watch the St. Louis beat up on Dallas.
It's 31-7 Rams in the third quarter, and you get the feeling some Redskins officials (and fans) are enjoying this one. Of course, the Rams stopped by FedEx Field last Sunday and beat the Redskins, 19-17.
Quarterback Brad Johnson has absolutely no shot right now. I think Flozell Adams just sacked him!
Anyway, the story from here is that cornerback Shawn Springs will miss the game, but Fred Smoot will be able to take his place. Carlos Rogers and Smoot are both banged up, so this could be a tough spot for the Redskins' secondary. Safety Chris Horton will start, but he's been slowed by an ankle injury.
The Redskins may get a lift from defensive end Jason Taylor, who has been fighting injuries throughout the season.
The most positive news for Browns fans is that tight end Kellen Winslow will play. I'm watching Derek Anderson warm up with Braylon Edwards at midfield as we speak. I think the Browns will try to take a couple of shots early in this one.
Antwaan Randle El, Santana Moss and James Thrash just came sprinting out of the Redskins' tunnel. Randle El was hopping up and down. Not sure if that's normal protocol for him.
Keep your eye on how many carries Clinton Portis has today. He was listed as doubtful this week, but no one expected him to miss the game.
I think Shaun Alexander is simply an insurance policy in this game. Rock Cartwright will get the carries when Portis needs rest. Washington Post columnist Mike Wise thinks Alexander might have something left in the tank.

Answer a Topic: Well, based on the Norse legends, there is a tree where all the nine worlds are tied together. On the base of the tree, there live 4 stags, each with a pair of gems at the base Xerneas will probably represent these stags, because it has eight antlers and there are four pairs of gemstones. In the top of the tree lives an eagle, who is blind. Yvetal will probably represent this eagle because it's eyes are a light blue, as most animals eyes are if they are blind. The stags are limited to walking on the ground, or X-Axis if you please. The Eagle flies through the air, or the Y-Axis.
Now, this might not sound like much, but here is where the evidence starts to make a lot more sense. In the legends, there is a serpent living under the tree's roots. What other animal would make the shape of a Z? Xerneas and Yveltal made the shapes of X and Y respectively, so the mascot of the third game that they will probably make would be in the shape of a Z. A serpent would be able to easily make the shape of a Z. The serpent would be able to move both up and down, as it lives underground and can move wherever it wants to.

- Dissertation Defense Date: Spring 2016
- Dissertation Abstract: My research interests address questions that lie at the intersections of public opinion, comparative politics, gender, and methodology. I investigate how beliefs about the roles of men and women in politics affect how individuals think about politics more broadly, and how those views affect the ways in which they vote and evaluate politicians. I explore these questions from a comparative perspective, by looking at how different contexts affect the relationships between gender stereotypes and other political phenomena. My research is grounded in the view that attitudes towards men and women in society constitute an important part of the core of people's opinions and behaviors in different spheres of life, and particularly in politics. I have collected original experimental and survey data in Brazil, Belize, Guatemala, Panama, and the U.S., in order to test different theories I develop in my research. Other ongoing and future projects examine methodological questions in the comparative study of public opinion, particularly with regard to the measurement of political knowledge in cross-national surveys.

- Dissertation Title: The Causes and Representative Consequences of Invalid Voting in Latin America
- Dissertation Defense Date: Spring 2016
- Dissertation Abstract: Across the Latin American region, invalid votes regularly "win" over candidates from smaller political parties. Yet, political scientists know very little about the factors that compel individuals to assume the costs of turning out to vote but then choose not to select a candidate, and to what political effect. My dissertation addresses each of these issues in turn. First, I develop a theoretical framework that encompasses various attitudes that might motivate an individual to cast an invalid vote as a means to protest. On average and contrary to existing findings, I find that most invalid votes in Latin American presidential elections are cast as a protest signal; however, these ballots reflect disappointment with specific policy outcomes or with a particular slate of candidate offerings rather than with democracy itself. Second, I argue that levels of protest voting respond to the dynamic nature of political competition--in particular, to the number of candidates running and the polarization of the political space. Using electoral data from presidential elections in 18 Latin American countries from 1993 to 2014, I find that when the number of candidates is moderate or low and polarization is high, invalid voting decreases as decision-making becomes easier. But, when polarization is high and the number of candidates competing increases, invalid voting also increases. Third, I address the question of whether and how elites respond to invalid voting in the "most likely" Peruvian case. Drawing on interviews with subnational candidates and sitting legislators I find that on average, political elites are uninformed about levels of invalid voting, and do not take null voters' preferences into consideration on the campaign trail. Furthermore, analysis of constituency level electoral data from Peru shows that new candidate entry is not more likely in high invalid vote districts. In other words, even in the most likely Peruvian case, there is a gap between voter intention and elite response.

- Major fields of Study: International Relations and Political Methodology
- Dissertation Title: Essays on Institutions, Conflict, and Aid
- Dissertation Defense Date: Spring 2016
- Dissertation Abstract: My dissertation consists of three papers that address the political implications of humanitarian crises and of international efforts to address those crises. The first paper develops and tests a theory of the relationship between natural disasters, leader survival, and international conflict. I show that leaders of large winning coalition systems who face irregular removal from office become more likely to initiate international conflicts as deaths from disasters increase. This chapter refines existing theories of leader survival and international conflict in arguing that not all threats to survival matter for international conflict behavior. Given the findings of the first chapter, my second dissertation paper considers how to increase the supply of international disaster relief. I use a set of formal models and a simulation to compare how the rules governing donor contributions to an aid organization -- namely, whether donors are allowed to earmark their contributions or not -- affect the supply of international disaster relief and outcomes for crisis victims. I show theoretically that relative to a policy of banning earmarking, allowing partial earmarking both increases donors' contributions and improves outcomes in recipient countries. In the third paper, I consider how bypassing recipient governments by delivering international relief through NGOs and multilateral organizations affects autocratic survival. Scholars and policymakers have pointed to this as a way that donors can give aid without bolstering autocratic regimes. I build on a model of revolution to show that bypass aid can help an autocrat retain power by reducing the amount of concessions needed to deter revolution. Using multiple data sources -- including an original data set of international aid scandals that I use in an instrumental variables analysis -- I find that autocratic countries experience less domestic unrest as the proportion of aid delivered through NGOs and multilateral organizations increases.

- Dissertation Title: Compassion in Red and Blue: The Politics of Who Cares about Whom
- Dissertation Defense Date: Spring 2016
- Dissertation Abstract: My dissertation uses several different methods to examine the role of compassion in politics, both at the citizen and elite level. I explore elite appeals to compassion through a content analysis of a selection of congressional and presidential speeches, finding that politicians often appeal to concern for others in need but that the parties differ widely in their use of these appeals. I then use a sequence of experiments that reveal that compassionate rhetoric by elites activates individuals' compassion. I link these approaches with an analysis of several waves of the General Social Survey to understand how individuals connect compassion to their political preferences. I find that proclivities toward compassion do not differ between partisans in the public but that partisan differences emerge in the effects of compassion. I find that highly compassionate Democrats have more liberal views on issues for which Democratic elites have made compassion more relevant, as outlined in my content work, such as capital punishment and help for the poor. Likewise, highly compassionate Republicans have more pro-life views, in accordance with the messages of compassion for unborn children by Republican elites. Highly compassionate individuals of both parties are more charitable in the private sector, indicating that compassion has similar effects on partisans when it is not tied to politics.

- Dissertation Title: Beyond Turnout: The Origins and Behavioral Effects of Compulsory Voting in Latin America
- Dissertation Defense Date: Fall 2015
- Dissertation Abstract: Compulsory voting is a trademark in Latin America. This region has more countries implemented it and more citizens under this electoral rule than any other region in the world. Going beyond its direct effect of increasing turnout, this dissertation answers three questions: (1) how legislators decided to implement compulsory voting in some Latin American countries and why they did not in others; (2) how laws governing whether voting is compulsory change the weight of each constituent element of the decision to go to the polls; and (3) taking insights from the literature on psychology about the relationship between incentives and the intrinsic motivation to perform an activity, how compulsory voting, with its related threat of punishment for non-compliance, undermines citizens' sense of civic duty. Generally speaking, I find that a convincing relationship emerges between rules and institutions and citizens' political behavior tendencies. My dissertation suggests that those who see compulsory voting as a remedy for low levels of turnout have not sufficiently considered its side effects. A key finding in my dissertation is that enforced compulsory voting undermines citizens' intrinsic motivation to turn out to vote, which I operationalize as civic duty. A declining motivation in compulsory voting systems is unwanted because it may mask a faulty democracy as a healthy one. As a result, high levels of electoral participation would not indicate engaged citizens, but coerced citizens, who, according to these findings, are more likely to be disengaged about the electoral process and the democratic system.

- Dissertation Title: Taking the Law into our Own Hands: The Joint Importance of Trust in the Law and in the Community
- Dissertation Defense Date: Fall 2015
- Dissertation Abstract: In recent years, a number of communities in Mexico and other Latin American countries have created vigilante organizations in order to fight crime directly. Why do citizens faced with security concerns turn to their neighbors to defend themselves from crime? I propose that social capital and distrust in the law enforcement interact as determinants of vigilante justice (understood as extralegal collective law enforcement). That is, citizens are more likely to invest their social capital to defend themselves from crime when they distrust the law enforcement. In the first empirical chapter I find, in a series of in-depth interviews, that the erosion of the legitimacy of the local authorities together with the strength of the citizen-run organizations in Cherán (State of Michoacán, Mexico) played an important role in the emergence and consolidation of the vigilante movement that emerged in early 2011. In the second empirical chapter I test my hypothesis using two large crime victimization surveys in Mexico. I find that citizens' trust in their neighbors and distrust in the police interact to determine their likelihood of engaging in vigilante justice. In the third and final chapter I conduct two in-the-field laboratory experiments to test the causal logic of my theory, one based in vignettes and a second one using a game set-up. I find that perceived trust in the community and perceived distrust in the law enforcement interact to cause an increase in the likelihood of supporting and engaging in vigilante justice. My research has been supported by Mexico's National Council of Science and Technology (CONACyT), Vanderbilt University's Center for Latin American Studies (CLAS) and the Social Science Research Council (SSRC). Other research I have developed on related topics has been published in Comparative Political Studies and Política y Gobierno.

* Stimulus withdrawal, economic recovery view pushes up core bond yields * Indonesian rupiah lowest since 2009, Indian rupee slides * Markets await minutes of Fed meeting on Wednesday * European shares down, Wall Street seen flat By Marc Jones LONDON, Aug 19 Rising expectations the Federal Reserve will soon scale back its stimulus drove German and U.S. bond yields to multi-month highs on Monday and dealt a blow to emerging markets, with India's rupee cartwheeling to historic lows. Wednesday's minutes from the last Fed meeting could offer fresh hints on when the U.S. central bank will start winding down its $85 billion-a-month support programme, a tricky process markets have been nervous about for months. German 10-year government bond yields rose 1.3 basis points to 1.89 percent, having hit their highest since March 2012 at 1.924 percent at the open. Their U.S. counterparts hit fresh two-year highs of 2.871 percent, though the move was not tracked by the dollar, which traded little changed against its currency basket. "What you are seeing at the moment in a way is central bankers versus the markets," said ABN Amro economist Nick Kounis. "The markets are pushing up the rate (increase) expectations and central bankers have been trying to pour cold water on the moves, but it is proving more difficult against a background of stronger economic data." The single currency area ended an 18-month recession last quarter, growing 0.3 percent, and August business surveys this week are likely to show the modest recovery is slowly broadening out. As well as a further rise in the euro zone composite purchasing managers' index (PMI), economists expect readings for the area-wide service sector and for French manufacturing to have punched through the no-change mark of 50 to show growth. European shares have outperformed over the last two months amid the brighter picture but at midday they were struggling. Falls of 0.2 percent for London's FTSE and 0.2 and 0.5 percent for the DAX and CAC 40 in Frankfurt and Paris pushed the FTSEurofirst 300 down 0.3 percent and left world shares down 0.15 percent. EMERGING TURBULENCE As rising core debt yields make it harder for developing nations to fund widening current account deficits, emerging markets - whose economies are heavily linked to U.S. fortunes and the dollar - took a spill. The Indian rupee slid as far as 62.73 per dollar, emphatically breaching the previous low of 62.03. The country's share market lost 1.4 percent, on top of a 4 percent drubbing last Friday. The country's central bank has tried to restrict how much Indian residents and companies can send offshore, but that only raised fears of outright capital controls that would further undermine the confidence of foreign investors. "The foreign investor community wants tangible and ambitious reforms that look and feel like a worthy 'second generation' to the fundamental measures adopted in the early 1990s," Westpac analysts said in a note. Indonesia's rupiah shed 1 percent to four-year lows at 10,485 per dollar and the strain also showed in MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan which fell 0.5 percent. Crucial later in the week will be an early reading on Chinese manufacturing from HSBC. Recent data suggested the economy might be stabilising and any improvement in the purchasing manager index will be welcomed by Asian investors. DOLLAR DIVERGENCE Wall Street was expected to open virtually unchanged later, after the Dow Jones Industrial Average suffered its biggest weekly fall of the year last week. <DJI > In the currency market, the dollar gave up early, modest gains to stand at $1.3361 per euro, little moved from Friday. Against the yen it pulled up to 97.91, while the dollar index was a shade softer at 81.213. The dollar has been in gradual decline for the past few weeks, in part on concerns the prospect of Fed tapering would scare foreign investors out of U.S. bonds. At some point yields should reach levels that are attractive to investors, but Lee Hardman, a currency analyst at Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi said for now the view on the currency was being split between advanced and more vulnerable emerging economies. "The rising U.S. yields are making the global financing conditions more difficult, especially for countries which have elevated current account deficits," he said "We think gradually over time the dollar will begin to outperform against the major currencies but at the moment it is being offset by higher (bond) yields in Europe where markets have been very much focused on the improving cyclical momentum." Hopes for a pick-up in growth globally have also supported commodities. Copper slid 0.7 percent to $7,359 a tonne after hitting a 10-week peak of $7,420 on Friday, while gold and platinum both edged down from two-month highs. Brent crude inched up towards $111 a barrel as oil markets remained focused on the violent unrest in Egypt which has stoked fears for exports from other oil producers in the Middle East and North Africa.

The big thing in DriveClub is its focus on social networking, as indicated by the hash in its name – for non-Twitter users, a hash before a word indicates an indexed term on Twitter, a popular social network. (For the sake of our own sanity, we'll leave the 'hash' out of the name for now – Ed).
Games like Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit introduced this in driving games with its innovative Autolog system, but DriveClub is taking this a few levels further, making it the focal point of the game.
In DriveClub you play as a club member and race against players, but mostly you race for your club against a rival outfit. All your performance is channelled into your club's current score, so while your individual performance is scored, it only matters in that it forms a component of your team's total. In the past this kind of team-based gaming would have required everyone to be online to compete together against a rival clan,' but DriveClub rides the recent trend of 'asynchronous multiplayer,' where you play against other players but don't have to be online at exactly the same time to do so.
How this works is pretty ingenious. In the preview I played, I started on a track where I was driving on my own, but three times each lap I was pitted against someone in a challenge. There was an average speed challenge, a cornering challenge and a drifting challenge, each happening over a different portion of the lap.
These challenges are against someone from your rival club who has just completed that section. This means you're not trying to beat the best driver's score in each section but instead you're racing a ghost of someone who just competed, so it's a lot more random in how good their score will be and adds some excitement to it, just like racing a person in realtime would.
If you win a challenge you will earn extra 'fame' points. Fame points can also be earned by completing sections of the course cleanly, by drifting and by driving fast (getting a good lap time as well as hitting high speeds). At the end of the two laps of the circuit you could see your club's current status against the opponent club as well as how you contributed to your club's overall performance. You get two ranks – a rank in lap time and a rank in fame. Your rank determines how many points you earn for your club, and it's weighted more heavily towards lap time so while those mid-lap challenges are important, getting a good lap time is still more important.
I love the concept of asynchronous multiplayer because I find myself incapable of performing enough communication and planning to have myself and my friends being on our PlayStations at the same time, all playing the same game. I also love racing games, from Mario Kart to Need for Speed to Gran Turismo and Forza Motorsport. DriveClub sits somewhere in the middle of those in terms of mechanics – perhaps most similar to PGR on the arcade/realism spectrum.
It makes sense that it isn't the most realistic racing game, but does still require actual racing skill since this is game designed around a driving club – people who are not necessarily professional race drivers but enjoy the idea of team competition and also enjoy cars themselves.
It remains to be seen what amount of content is going to be available for DriveClub. Indications are that there will be a free version of game for PlayStation Plus subscribers, but I imagine there might be cars and tracks up for purchase. Nevertheless it is an intriguing take on racing games in a social setting and it's a PlayStation 4 launch game I would be interested in trying.

GSD Course Bulletin - Fall 2012
This term's information was last refreshed on 12 MAY 2015 14:54:06.
Courses taught by Robert Lane
01221: Elements of Urban Design (STU 0122100)
Urban Planning and Design
Core Studio - 8 credits
Tuesday Thursday 12:30 - 6:00
Felipe Correa, Robert Pietrusko, Renata Sentkiewicz, Gines Garrido, Robert Lane, Linda Pollak
Course Description
Elements of Urban Design is an advanced core studio for the post professional programs in urban design. The studio introduces a wide host of ideas, strategies and technical skills associated with current thinking on urbanism, and speculates on the designer's projective role in analyzing and shaping complex metropolitan systems. Rigorous research informs a series of interrelated exercises that construct diverse hypotheses about new formal and experiential urban identities across multiple scales of intervention and development.
05210: Cities by Design I (SES 0521000)
Urban Planning and Design
Lecture - 4 credits
Tuesday Thursday 10:00 - 11:30 Gund - Piper
Rahul Mehrotra, Eve Blau, Sibel Bozdogan, Joan Busquets, Alex Krieger, Robert Lane, A. Hashim Sarkis
Course Description
'Cities by Design' is a year-long course that studies urban form. In the fall semester, 'Cities by Design' will explore six urban case studies to expose students to a range of factors that affect the design of contemporary cities in various geographical contexts. In the spring, the course will look at four cities and conclude with a panel discussion to synthesize the conclusions drawn from cases from the entire year. The case studies will focus on both the urban condition as a whole by exploring processes of urban evolution, and on the study of urban fragments or projects. Each case study will be taught during a two-week module, comprised of four lectures and one discussion section. Term grades will be based on attendance and participation in both lectures and sections, biweekly response papers based on assigned readings, and a final term paper.
Two main pedagogical objectives guide the course. The course will allow students to establish a broader definition of the 'urban,' forging commonalities amongst a diversity of cities. It will also provide the historical and comparative material to identify the urban characteristics and design strategies that render particular cities distinct. Comparative analyses of the urban case studies will be guided by the following eight themes, which will be explored through the lectures, section discussions, and assigned readings:
1. The city's genealogy and key historical events, phases of development, and patterns of growth
2. The ways in which the terrain, geography, and infrastructural development constrain and present opportunities for the city's development and ambitions
3. The city's planning and design culture and decision-making institutions
4. The challenges that social equity present to planning and design in the city
5. The orchestration of the city's relationship to the broader region
6. How the particular city contributes to a definition of the 'urban' condition
7. The framing and design of key urban projects/case studies
8. The city's planning institutions, historical conditions, urban forms, or ambitions, etc. that have contributed to its iconicity in a global context
No Prerequisites; Course is required of all entering UD students.

Closing this vid out with a Mila-centric fourway seems like a good idea, since what comes before is so generally unremarkable. Mila, as anyone familiar with her mad dog screen persona will attest, is one of those performers you eye like an unexploded bomb or an unleashed pit bull, half-dreading what she'll do but fascinated nonetheless. Big finishes are her forte. And so it's generally surprising here when she collaborates on a rather blah single-cumshot foursome finale.

Fit Without Actually Working Out? Yes Really!Fitness
By Fitness Editor Paula Jager CSCS, owner of Crossfit Jaguar, Tampa FL
We've had quite a few posts on weight lifting, interval training and CrossFit exercise in general. If you're already involved in a program like that good for you!! Keep on doing what you're doing–I bet you feel & look great.
But what about a program or ideas for those that don't want to put forth that much effort and commitment or the expense of joining a gym?
Is there an in between ground or something that they can do that requires less time and effort yet will still yield some positive results? And what about people facing health challenges that are physically not able to put forth that type of intensity?
Of course there is. . .
I tend to be a tad militant in my opinion on the subject and the amount of effort I feel someone should put forth and rarely tolerate excuses. However, everyone is not motivated by that type or persona and does not care to be that fit. Is something better than nothing? Yes, even minimal efforts can induce some results. Some specific examples are as simple as the following.
Grocery shopping: Most of us do this. To start, park a good distance from the entrance so that you will have a ways to walk both to and fro the store. I have 2 pet peeves when I go grocery shopping. The first one being seemingly healthy people having the bag person wheeling their groceries out to the car. Seriously, folks?
I realize they are being paid a wage by the store but they're not your servants. Wheel the cart out to your vehicle which you parked a considerable distance and put the groceries into it. Cases of water, bags of cat litter or dog food and the like are great functional items for you to bend down and put into your vehicle. Good use of the legs, upper body and core. Then you also get to carry them into your house when you get home. And the second–please bring the buggy back. Walk it back into the store and place it inside. Don't leave it in an empty parking space for your "servant" to get. There are more important things they can do to make the store better for you.
Laundry: Yet another chore most of us must attend to. How about 10 squats every time you put in a load in the washer, 15 sit ups every time you put a load in the dryer and 10 push ups each time you put a load away. Can't do a full push up? No problem, keep the core tight and in a rigid line from shoulders to ankles and do them off a dresser or even off the bed for a slightly unstable surface.
Working outside the home: Many of us are stuck inside an office all day and have sedentary jobs. Again, park a distance from the entrance–the walk will do you good. If you are fortunate enough to have stairs, use them in lieu of the elevator. Take several short "exercise breaks" throughout the day. In between meetings, calls or projects knock out sets of 10-15 squats and lunges. Do push ups and dips off your desk. Pick up a paper weight or object weighing 10 to 30# and do swings to strengthen the lower back. Stretch out your hamstrings by placing a leg up on your chair and bending forward. Do a series of neck and shoulder stretches seated or standing to reliever some stress and tension. Practice deep breathing exercises periodically. You'll be surprised how this will help you de stress, improve mental clarity and lead to increased productivity.
Working inside the home: Much easier for you to be active; make a "game" out of housework, vacuum with gusto, if you have stairs make extra trips up and down them each day. If you have a yard or garden, get out on your hands and knees, get dirty and connect with the earth.
Clean out those closets you've been meaning to. Reorganize your furniture for a new look or clean out the garage. Getting rid of clutter will also help clear the mind. On the weekends when I am home actively cooking, doing laundry and other tasks I rarely sit until late afternoon or evening. Being active and busy are great ways to get in some low level activity not to mention get things done.
Watching TV: Minimize the amount of time spent in front of it and lose the remote. Most people sit at least 10 feet from the television to watch it. Getting up and down to change the channel could get you several bouts of movement in despite the short distance. You could even lunge to the set, change the channel and lunge back to the couch. Every bit counts–20 jumping jacks every time you change the channel or walk to the refrigerator.
Another idea is to get one of those big exercise balls and gently bounce for 20 minutes while you are mindlessly flipping the channels after dinner. Do this for a few weeks and you will definitely notice the difference in your quads and backside.
Playing with your children: go to the park with them, play with them if you are able, make it fun, brings games, play ball and discourage over use of video games, computers and television. You must join them and set the example if you expect them to follow in your healthy footsteps.
It all adds up folks. You may not look like the cover of a fitness magazine or win a local competition, but I seriously doubt that is your goal anyway! In your own life, however, these little things will definitely help you feel better, look better, sleep better, have improved energy and notice improvement in your activities of daily living and life in general. That's really what ultimately counts after all!

What Makes Good Money on eBay Selling on eBay Tips Best Sellers on eBay
Magnificent beat ! I would like to apprentice while you amend your website,
how can i subscribe for a blog website? The account aided me a applicable deal.
I were a little bit acquainted of this your broadcast offered vibrant
clear concept
Hey there! This is kind of off topic but I need some guidance from an established blog.
Is it very hard to set up your own blog? I'm not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty fast.
I'm thinking about making my own but I'm not sure where to
begin. Do you have any tips or suggestions? With thanks
It is perfect time to make some plans for the future and it is time to
be happy. I've read this post and if I could I want
to suggest you few interesting things or advice.
Perhaps you could write next articles referring to this article.
I desire to read more things about it!
One thing I used to do while watching tv was for each commercial do either pushups, situps, squats, or some type of (fairly) stationary exercise. Change it up with each commercial and rest during the show. Then in an hour show you're pretty much guaranteed 15 minutes of exercising. We no longer watch tv (5 years 'clean') so I don't get this opportunity anymore.
Also, in my commute to work, I sometimes do leg raises in the car. Just raise my leg a couple of inches off the seat 10-15 times and switch. I started doing it when I was tired and driving home late at night.
I think everyone needs to quit taking things so personally. The article was supposed to be tips for people that don't want a regular workout/gym routine to stay fit doing stuff around the house. That's all it was – tips and ideas – take them or leave them. I don't think Paula's comments about the lazy people at the grocery store were meant for people that aren't physically able to carry out their groceries. I think she was talking about the majority of people who take advantage of the carry-out service who ARE physically able to do it themselves. And if you aren't someone who can physically do it – why get caught up in what someone else thinks? We spend way too much time worrying about others' perceptions of ourselves… so what if someone thinks something untrue about you? You know the truth. You should be confident in yourself. Don't get hung up on worrying about what others think because you're always going to have people that have misconceptions about you. Didn't we all learn that lesson in middle school?
paula, it doesn't matter if you don't accost people in the parking lots.. we who look SEEMINGLY healthy feel super self-conscious about those of you who look down upon us for being seemingly lazy. You said here what many of us worry that everyone THINKS. It's offensive.
Cindy L.
Oh Paula, I want to live in your world….! so funny. At 5′ 7″, how on earth would I fit in my 'laundry room' to do squats or push ups? It's a 5×5 closet right in the eating area of my kitchen! My eating area is just about big enough to hold the round table to seat 8 of us at most meals, and we have to push the table back and forth just to get through to the laundry/storage room. And it's filled with grain, rice, and salt buckets for all the food I make from scratch. I also use the tops of my washer and dryer for storage.
When I watch tv, it's either while standing in my kitchen making fermented foods and all meals for my family, or while reclining on my love seat to get the swelling out of my ankle that happens from standing or driving 8-10 hours most days as a homeschooling, homemaking housewife. I'm not really concerned with my cardio at that point in the day. It sounds like you don't watch tv, because most tv viewing devices from this century don't have the mechanics to let you 'get up and change the channel' without a remote.
As as for playing with my children…. I've been a Mom for almost 27 years, and my youngest (a boy) is only 10. I'm tired. I don't play ball, or kick soccer balls, or ride scooters with them any more (3 boys total, 4 girls total)! I teach them, drive them, read to them, cook for them, go to church with them, and more. We keep our chickens and tend our garden and I have to walk up and down stairs every time I leave the house, because our house is 13 steps off the ground. yet I still have a thick middle. and nothing is going to get the sag out of my abdomenal skin from being pregnant 5 times between the ages of 27 and 44, or get the droop out of my breasts from nursing said children over a 2- year period. or get the wiggle out of my upper arms after losing 45 lbs by changing my eating habits. Because it's genetic. I can get thin and firm but the sag is never going to go away except by a surgeon's blade.
Thanks for the exercise tips. I'll pass them on to my daughters.
I know you mean well and you're very enthusiastic and driven from all those endorphins of working out. I'll keep reading your blog and smiling.
Ashley Brown
Working out does not mean you need to exercise., You can workout in different ways like doing chores at your home, climbing stairs and go shopping on foot. These things does not feel like workout but are very effective for staying fit.
Danielle @ poor and gluten free
Great tips. I spend a ton of time on my computer every day at home, but use an exercise ball instead of a chair – this lets me bounce, do bounce squats, move around, etc while I work (studies have actually shown that kids who use bouncy balls in school instead of chairs actually have better focus and fitness, because their bodies are kept busy, allowing their minds to focus better).
I also keep an exercise band on my desk, so I can grab it and do some twists for an extra ab workout.
As to the "seemingly fit" comment, as another reader posted, some of us look like we should be capable, but aren't so. Sure,some people are just plain lazy, but when it comes to having someone carry bags out or heavy lifting, I always give the benefit of the doubt. I had a bad car accident ages ago and despite physio 2-3x/wk, acupuncture, yoga, gym work outs, etc there are good and bad days. On good days I do everything I can, on bad days I only do what won't cause a migraine!
To the commentors on the "seemingly healthy". . . what do you all think I do, accuse and accost people in grocery store parking lots? Of course not. This was in reference to people that don't need the help and are just lazy. They may not always be recognizable but they know who they are.
Anyone with health issues, 9 1/2 months prego and other challenges certainly needs some help. That's what those workers are there for. We all might be in that situation at some point in our lives and be grateful for it.
Anna Heitkemper
While I agree in general, please be careful about assumptions on "seemingly" healthy people. Watch for the invisible illnesses – I have family and friends with MS and fibromyalgia. I don't have these but I still have had times when I've parked close, not put the cart back, and let the baggers carry my groceries out. Each time there has been a reason – small child with me, pregnant, exhausted from being up all night with a small or sick child, etc. Occasionally, and usually when pregnant or with several children in tow, grocery folks have put groceries into the car because they wouldn't take a reasonable "no" for an answer, so I gave up and let them help!
I'm unquestionably loving any theme/design of your site. Do someone ever happen upon virtually any internet browser being compatible issues? Several my web site audience have complained about my very own blog site damaged appropriately around Explorer to date looks good in Opera. Do you will have any remedies for help mend this issue?
I can't believe Paula is the guest writer today! That's so awesome! My trainer, Janet, is in the photo. I can't wait to tell her that I saw her on your blog during my training session at Jaguar CrossFit tomorrow. I'm still in the Foundations class but am learning a ton and am loving every (difficult, sweaty, butt-kicking) minute of it!

My husband does the bouncy ball thing while we watch a movie and it has made a huge difference for him.
I used one at work instead of my work chair for about a year. It was great until it started to deflate daily. I will have to get another one. It was kinda like working out while at work.

Robin AKA GoatMom
Love this, its how I've stayed fit for years. With 30 acres and animals always something to do including moving hay bales, 50# feed sacks. We walk our property for pleasure. And trimming back growth in N FL is a never ending full body exercise. We usually hang our clothes, another good one for keeping arms looking good. I do ballet barre exercises holding onto a chair or practicing my balance while watching TV or waiting for tea water to boil. I take free weight breaks or stretching at work and never sit down unless I need to write if talking on the phone. Starting doing this about 7 years ago seriously when changed our diet and down 30 # with a thyroid issue and hitting menopause.
Blanca Villanueva Perez via Facebook
THANK U!!! I'm not a gym person (tried and even had a trainer), I always knew there was a better way for me. =)
"seemingly healthy people"….there's that word…'seemingly'. My older sister has rheumatoid arthritis and did without a handicapped plate/sticker/tag for much longer than she should have out of a determination to do it herself.
I had a stroke in 1994 and although I looked well enough, fatigue, muscular weakness, etc had me choosing my battles. I let them carry my groceries out and put them in my car so that I could go home & get them OUT of the car & put away before I had to rest for an hour. Simply driving to the grocery store was a triumph for me…the first time I did insist on taking them out to the car, loading them in , take them home & put away…I was literally useless for the next 48 hours. That taught me a valuable lesson…do what you can when you can but the 'seemingly healthy people' could be just that."seemingly'…there are a LOT of problems that prevent people from doing their own groceries…cut them some slack. I had to do it again before I had shoulder surgery & again after…I was told NOT to use a sling, but no weight on that arm either. So there can be a number of reasons that we don't. And on a personal note, I highly resent people making assumptions about my 'fitness' to do something…just like the guy that chewed me out for using my handicapped tag post-stroke…that was the first outing for me with my kids alone….and I was very proud of myself that day….and he utterly and completely destroyed that feeling of achievement. I simply informed him that I was the one who had the stroke….and burst into tears. I sincerely hope that his wife gave him h3ll for what he said. And Sarah, I expect better from your blog and guest writers.
These are great ideas, especially for those of us who have serious injuries that nobody can see. I always feel embarrassed when I ask the grocery people to help me to my car, but I wasn't able to pull down the back hatch on my car for several months, and sometimes still have days when things are so out of whack that adding the stress of a case of dog food is a bad idea.
There's nothing like farm life to keep you active and in shape. Especially if you don't own a tractor and have to use a shovel and wheelbarrow for everything. I love it!
I envy you Rebekah; I would love to get my exercise on a farm through functional chores, fresh air and peace and quiet!
Is there anything besides walking and physical therapy for someone with back and neck injuries? My problem is inoperalble as far as repairing my back with surgery and my muscles have really wasted away since my injury in January-1996.
How about swimming? Swimming is a total body exercise and really feels great.

I hate exercise for the sake of exercise. I love ballet class. I love tap class. I love playing hockey. I love beating the punching bag. Now to force myself to go down stairs and do it. I don't like the stairs.
Rochelle Ferguson via Facebook
I actually enjoy the gym. I go early in the am before the kids get up. The gym is quiet and practically empty then. I put on my ear phones and pretty much have the place to myself. It's about the only alone time I get and I can work at my own pace.

Tabatas example: 20sec all out pushups, rest 10 sec, 20sec all out burpees, rest 10 sec, 20sec all out fast air squats, rest 10sec, 20sec all out fwd to reverse lunges, rest 10sec. Repeat cycle 4 times with a one minute rest at 4min mark. You can download a tabatas app that beeps for the interval periods if you don't want to use a stopwatch etc.

I hate gyms, but persuaded myself to go and sign up for the one that is up the road. Not sure, whether is it a sign from somewhere up there but they decided to close that gym down on 30 November… 😀
Sara James via Facebook
These are great ideas, although I'm too undisciplined to do pushups, sit ups, etc between laundry. I really like putting together Tabatas workouts. They only take about 9 minutes and I'm sweating and out of breath. Another good source is Dr Al Sears' PACE program. Tabatas and PACE are very similar in terms of getting your heart rate up very high for short periods and then a brief recovery.

Regular exercise is just as important as our nutrition. Sweating helps us detox toxins as well. For me longer walks from the parking lots doesn't cut it.
I couldn't agree more but some people flat out refuse to do it–this was mainly geared towards getting them started.

What is the best way to install Python 2.7 on CentOS? All the tutorials I'm seeing are either using a third party management system or manually installing a separate binary to co-exist with Python 2.4. Why is 2.4 needed, and how can I seamlessly install 2.7?
I ended up going with Python 2.7 and took the following steps:
For Django:
Python 2.4 incompatible with Pyhton 2.6. CentOS packages and a lot of core features depend on python.
For (for x64 change i386 to x86_64):
Then disable epel and ius(set enabled=0 in /etc/yum.repos.d/ius.repo and /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo)

Released: Jun 28th, 2010
Running Time: 194 Min.
Director: Oren Cohen
Company: Low Art, LLC
DVD Extras: Widescreen
Cast: Nick Manning, Chayse Evans, Ralph Long, Bill Bailey, Jayden Jaymes, Natasha Nice, Sienna West, Adrianna Angel, Ann Marie Rios, Johnny Castle, Nika Noire, Angelina Ashe, Chris Johnson (I), Rocco Reed, Bridgette B., Seth Gamble
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: High-End All-Sex
Because sex with girls this hot is kind of a surreal experience.
Rich colors, moody lighting and overall excellent production values help distinguish Surreal Sex from other more mundane all-sexers. Nine different boy/girl scenes populate this two-disc set, with distinctive looks and styles right out of early Andrew Blake and Michal Ninn. Surreal Sex is erotic in many spots with plenty of girls to choose from if you get turned off by any of them.
Highlights include the pretty blonde Adrianna Angel masturbating with a lollipop before blowing and fucking Nick Manning, who drops a load on her ass; Jayden Jaymes getting fucked through ripped nylons by Ralph Long; Natasha Nice sucking on candy and Seth Gamble's cock before he bangs her; and big-boobed Nika Noire in a nicely shot scene with Rocco Reed where he fucks her in every position, including a great-looking reverse cowgirl sequence.
Other scenes are more exercises in art direction than anything else. While Ann Marie Rios fucks and sucks with the best of them (and Johnny Castle slams her hard), you can't take your eyes off the dirt that covers her body. Sienna West on a poker table has the look of a '60s Playboy layout, the difference here being that she takes Nick Manning's cock inside her before and he cums all over her face.
Seems like we are experiencing a nice run of great quality porn from new imprint Low Art. It looks and feels more like High Art.

After update of Wordefence, today,
our readers receive an error message when they want to read our newspaper and are shown an error message...
our editors get the same error message when we try to log into the admin area...
We URGENTLY need help, real help, to solve that problem.
Thanks for a swift response.
NB.: On a personal note: It's absolutely upsetting and disgraceful that WordPress providers, i.e. Wordfence, Automattic, don't TEST products until they are 100 % safe before releasing them. We need more ACCOUNTABILITY in this community, including economic liability for professional companies who inflict economic and other damage on others.

SELECTED WORKS BY Steven Allan
Steven Allan
Peeley Wally
Oil on canvas
130 x 90 cm
Steven Allan's works are paintings that act like prints. His brushstrokes seem not so much applied as gouged, their scratched and apparently subtractive strokes redolent of the physicality of the woodblock printer rather than the delicacy of the painter. It's perhaps the starkness of the printed image that particularly appeals to Allan: his works seem lit by flashes of lightning, the shadows graphic and hard. Their allusions to the printed picture calls to mind a history of book illustration that seems relevant to Allan's curious iconography of characters. His banana men, leaping, scuttling or dancing in wild abandon, seem distant cousins of Tenniel's proto-surrealist images for 'Alice in Wonderland'.

One Off The Bunch
, a banana man seems frozen in a spotlight, ostensibly caught stealing a banana from a large bowl of fruit in the foreground; in
Peeley Wally
, his two banana arms wiggle, his mouth wrinkling in anxiety. Allan's characters may be proxies for the artist himself; like Philip Guston's Ku Klux Klan self-portraits, an acknowledged influence on the artist, this is the artist as a sad clown in a floppy hat. Even when the banana characters dance – in
We're All In This Together
, a rueful allusion to contemporary politics – they're spindly, weakened, cheered on by a stopwatch that gleefully awaits their demise.

And in
Stains of a Decade
– whose gloomy atmosphere and deep recession makes it a kind of semi-comic version of Durer's Melencholia I – the artist seems adrift on a lonely coracle, with an irresistible punchline: a spoon poking out of his brain, like a grapefruit.

Estimation of a microfounded herding model on German survey expectations
Franke, Reiner (2007) Estimation of a microfounded herding model on German survey expectations. Working Paper. Coventry: Warwick Business School, Financial Econometrics Research Centre. Working papers (Warwick Business School. Financial Econometrics Research Centre) (No.07-).

The paper considers the dynamic adjustments of an average opinion index that can be derived from a microfounded framework where the individual agents switch between two kinds of sentiment with certain transition probabilities. The index can thus represent a general business climate, i.e., expectations about the future course of the economy. This approach is empirically tested with the survey expectations published by the ZEW and ifo institute. The estimated coefficients make economic sense and are highly significant. In particular, besides effects from fundamental data like the output gap in the recent past, one can identify a strong herding mechanism within both panels, such that metaphorically speaking the agents do not just join the crowd but follow each single motion of it. In addition, the transition probabilities of the ZEW agents are found to be influenced by the ifo climate but not the other way round.

Tisha B'Av Kinos 1981 Part 2

Boston 1981

There is an almost absolute absurdity with this coming Shabbat—Shabbat Nachamu. Last Saturday night we were sitting on the floor thinking about the sadness of Tisha Baav and mourning the loss of the Temple in Jerusalem and the tragedies that have unfolded during the past 2,000 years. Yet, this Shabbat there will be a completely […]

When offering words of comfort to a mourner we reference the destruction of the Temple. The traditional invocation expresses our wish that the mourner be comforted "among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem." It is generally understood that the two are connected because they both represent intense sadness and great loss. Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik […]
This course examines the Biblical character Rachel through the eyes of Jeremiah in order to better understand relationships, empathy, the power of action, and effective mourning. See more at alephbeta.org

Harley Quinn's Greatest Moments from "Batman: The Animated Series"
TV, Comic Books
Sho Murase, best known for her Nancy Drew graphic novels and also the creator of the sadly underrated me2, shows off the Elektra/Daredevil pinup she's doing for Marvel Girl Comics #3.
In 2004 I was fortunate enough to interview Colleen Coover–during her Small Favors days/on the eve of the creation of her and husband Paul Tobin's all-ages Banana Sunday. I enjoyed her art then, but never hoped for how effectively Marvel would tap her fantastic style for many of its books and characters. Much to my delight, it seems like Coover's reputation and fanbase is growing larger every day. Last week saw the release of Girl Comics No. 2, which featured a two-page opening piece by Coover as well as a Shamrock eight-page adventure drawn by her (and written by Kathryn Immonen). We briefly discussed it, as well as her other current Marvel work (such as the Hercules back-up tale in Thor and the Warriors Four) for this brief email interview. I look forward to down the road when Coover flexes her "writer muscles" (as she calls them).
Tim O'Shea: Marvel's keeping you busy at present. How did the Hercules the Olympian Babysitter story land on your table?
Colleen Coover: The book's editor Jordan White asked me to come up with a Power Pack backup story for a four-issue mini series. I was flipping through Bullfinch's Mythology one evening, and I came up with the Hercules story when I woke up the next morning. At the time I didn't know that the Alex Zalben's main story was a team-up with Thor, titled Thor & The Warriors Four, so it was a happy coincidence that I used one of Marvel's other mythological characters!
Welcome once again to What Are You Reading? where we ask, "If you were stuck on an island with the smoke monster, what would you bring to read?" Yes, that was my lame attempt to make today's edition topical. Sorry. Let's just write that off as me being really excited to see the end of Lost.
This week our special guest is comics retailer Randy Lander, who you can find selling comics at Rogues Gallery Comics & Games in Round Rock, Texas or blogging over at Inside Joke Theatre. To see what Randy and the rest of our merry castaways have been reading, click the link below …
The second issue of Marvel's Girl Comics anthology comes out tomorrow, which include a NextWave story by Faith Erin Hicks. If you can't wait to see her take on the Marvel U., though, you're in luck — she's posted a complete Wolverine short story on her website that she created as a try-out for Marvel last year.
"So last year about this time was my very first contact with Marvel," she writes on her blog. "Specifically I was asked if I'd pitch an 11 page 'Iron Man or Wolverine story.' Since I had absolutely no interest in drawing Iron Man (all that mechanical armour, ugh!) and consider myself a patriotic beaver-flag-waving Canadian type, I opted for Wolverine. I sent Marvel 11 pages of thumbnails and a script, and never heard back. Boo hoo! Oh well. Eventually they asked me to do a submission for Girl Comics, so it all worked out in the end."
The story features ninjas, eggs and crying New Mutants. Go check it out.
One of the creators announced as working on Marvel's Girl Comics anthology is Stephanie Buscema, granddaughter of legendary comics artist John Buscema. She has a fun, distinct art style that you can witness firsthand over on her website; go check it out.
Yesterday Marvel announced a new three-issue anthology mini-series called Girl Comics, which will be edited by Jeanine Schaefer and created exclusively by women.
As you can see in the comments section for my original post, there's been a mixed reaction to the project, particularly because of its title. You can also find even more commentary on it over in The Beat's comment section, where they story broke.
So where exactly did that title come from? Well, as Douglas Wolk pointed out in the Beat comments section, it seems to stem from an old Atlas comic that was published from 1949-1952 (before its name was changed to the even more unfortunate Girl Confessions). Atlas, of course, is the company that eventually evolved into Marvel Comics and also published Strange Tales — which you may recognize as the name of another recent Marvel anthology. So there's some symmetry there, and you have to wonder if they'll be using any other old Atlas titles in the future (I vote for Bible Tales for Young Folk; you can find a complete list of titles Atlas published on Wikipedia).
This is not a story about comics — but in a way, it is: In a fairly devastating piece in the New York Times and a no-holds-barred interview with Jezebel, film critic Manohla Dargis lays out the sorry state of films made by and for women in Hollywood today.
Dargis presents the evidence in painstaking and depressing detail. First there's the good news: hits like Sex and the City, Mamma Mia, and The Twilight Saga: New Moon have made it all but impossible to dismiss women as a "niche" audience. (Which stands to reason, since they're 51% of the population after all.) The bad news, of course, is that these films — and most romantic comedies and Sandra Bullock vehicles, to name a pair of other standard and successful "femme-driven" film types — are not very good. Dargis argues that their success stems from a massive number of female moviegoers desperate to see themselves represented somehow, anyhow, on screen.
Another silver lining: women-directed films have some hot Oscar prospects this year, led by Kathryn Bigelow's masterfully suspenseful Iraq War action-drama The Hurt Locker. But Bigelow had to struggle for years to get that movie made, while equally worthy male directors with similar track records cruise from one big-budget star vehicle to the next. And the critical success of The Hurt Locker or Nora Ephron's Julie & Julia can't mask the fact that the major Hollywood studios released a grand total of 11 films directed by women this year. Want a comics connection? Soon-to-be Marvel parent company Disney had one; DC owner Warner Bros. had none. Meanwhile, perhaps Bigelow shouldn't hold her breath on Oscar night: In the Academy Awards' 81-year history, only three women have been nominated for Best Director, none of whom went on to win.

David Mills, PC (March 18, 1831 – May 8, 1903) was a Canadian politician, author, poet and puisne justice of the Supreme Court of Canada.
He was born in Palmyra, in southwestern Upper Canada (now Ontario). His father, Nathaniel Mills, was one of the first settlers in the area. Mills served as superintendent of schools for Kent County from 1856 to 1865. He then attended the University of Michigan School of law, graduating with honors in 1867 with an LL.B degree.
He published The Present and Future Political Aspects of Canada in 1860 and The Blunders of the Dominion Government in connection with the North-West Territory in 1871.
Mills was first elected to the Canadian House of Commons as a Liberal Member of Parliament (MP) in the 1867 federal election and re-elected in four subsequent votes until being defeated in the 1882 election.
He returned to Parliament through an 1884 by-election. He was re-elected in subsequent elections until his defeat in the 1896 election despite this being the election that brought the Liberals back to power.
He served as Minister of the Interior in the Cabinet of Alexander Mackenzie from 1876 to 1878. Sir Wilfrid Laurier appointed Mills to the Canadian Senate after he lost his Commons seat in 1896, and appointed him to Cabinet as Minister of Justice and Leader of the Government in the Canadian Senate. He resigned from the Senate and Cabinet in 1902. He was appointed to the Supreme Court of Canada on February 8, 1902, and served on the Court for one year until his death in 1903.

Non-linear Dynamics Processing
Dynamics processing is performed by amplifying devices where the gain is automatically controlled by the level of the input signal. Non-linear components simulating tube amplifiers can be used in these devices to make musical signal audibly dense. This paper deals with the simulation of tube amplifiers using the power polynomial approximation of transfer characteristic and with the computation method of power polynomial coefficients according to the required higher harmonics ratio.

Hi all,
I would like to design a theme that looks like the one listed here.
As you can see, there is a "widget panel" that I like to add more of as time goes by. Also, when the user clicks on it, it should jump to more description page with the ability to post "remarks" and for me to answer those remarks.
(I don't know why it is not showing, here is a direct link: http://03148c1.netsolhost.com/tmp/site.jpg
Is there any theme already out there that I can just modify. Is it hard to start from scratch? I have very good experience with html & CSS but ZERO WP.

Design of a Karaoke System for Commercial Stereophonic Audio Tracks Aiming a Musical Learning Aid for Amateur Singers
The process of vocal extraction from musical tracks using panning information was implemented and presented in the paper. An enhancement to refine the extraction process and its impact on the performance measures were analyzed. Based on the performance measures it was observed that the introduced enhancement contributed to a significant improvement in the extraction process evident in the increased Signal to Interference Ration (SIR) rating. A Karaoke system design which works for commercial stereophonic audio tracks, is proposed which can serve as a musical learning aid for amateurs.

Digital-Input Class-D Audio Amplifier
Not only digital-input class-D audio amplifier directly converts digital PCM-coded audio signal into power, it also exhibits superior performances with respect to traditional PWM analog class-D amplifiers. In the later, several analog techniques have to be deployed to combat the many side-effects inherent to analog blocks, resulting in complex circuitry. Digital domain provides many degrees of freedom that allow combating signal non-idealities with no or just little extra cost. As the output to the real world is analog, digital class-D amplifier requires Analog to Digital Conversion (ADC) in feedback to compensate for Jitter, signal distortions and power supply noise. With careful sigma delta modulation design and few digital techniques, the class-D loop is stabilized and achieves superior audio performances. The audio signal cascade chain is tremendously simplified resulting in significant reduction in area cost and power consumption. For applications that require analog input processing, the digital class-D still accepts analog inputs with no extra cost.
