Best gymn environment ever. Thanks to the staff making it tough but fun. Seeing changes in your body is pure motivation!
So great even though I was skeptical. This is fitness for 'dummies', meaning you never need to think about what is next. It's all guided. Love it. Totally motivated by the numbers and I've seen a HUGE difference in only a week!
Koko FitClub is a great atmosphere for getting in shape, I don't feel intimidated by other people there, everyone is there to accomplish the same goal. Staff is really friendly and helpful. The best one is Lexie, she helps me stay focused on my fitness goals and keeps me accountable! I love this place!
I've been in a lot of gyms in my life, and I see more results in three months at Koko then I've seen in years at others. I plan on being around for a while.

This is individualized fitness at its very best! I have never felt my arms look more toned, belly fat is dissolving, and I really love going to the gym now! Koko FitClub is unique in its computerized machines that tailor create your fitness regimen - just for you. No getting lost with what you are doing with your weight training, and also ensuring you are getting the maximum results. Staff is extremely helpful and most friendly. Come by for a demo, you will be truly impressed!.

Tried on bikinis this weekend and I was not at all disgusted by what I saw, thank you KOKO :) Last summer I honestly told my husband I had come to terms with the fact that I would never wear a bikini again...and then I found you :) 22lbs down, and I am seeing muscles I haven't seen in awhile.

I've tried them all - Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, Abs Diet, YMCA, Work Out World! Koko is the Best! Working full-time, and having 2 boys - I am definitely busy! Koko allows me to fit in a 30-45 min workout on my schedule - even 6am! And having Michael Wood in my ear for cardio, and the Smartrainer feedback on the strength machines is the perfect motivator for me! 27% strength gain in my 1st 10 weeks!! I am definitely a KokoNut:).
- Marianne M. Shrewsbury, NJ
I love not having to figure how much to lift or how fast to go. Truly is fitness for those who need a trainer but don't want to pay for one. :)
I've been working out all my life, with personal trainers and on my own, but I feel like I'm more pressed for time than ever these days and I feel guilty if I spend too much time working out. I love that I can get a great workout in just 30 minutes and be done!
- Julie O
There is absoultely no way I would achieve what I do at this club ANYWHERE else. Due to work schedules, I'm typically here during unstaffed hours . Over the past few months I've been a member, I've lost over 15 lbs, my blood pressure is lower, and I am looking and feeling better than I have in 10 years! The exercises are challenging and workouts are never stale. Best of all, I am working out safely with perfect form. Thank you so much for bringing such intelligent training to our area! Looking forward to the next lanyard color!

Seniors can do it too! After 5 years of inactivity due to knees that needed to be replaced, I finally had 2 replacement surgeries & was ready to get back into shape. Fortunately, Koko FitClub was just down the street and in July of 2012 I started my road to fitness at the age of 68. It's been only 4 months and I have achieved my goal weight after losing 17 pounds. My strength has increased by 54%. My Q score started at 25 and is now 51.I was only able to do this because Koko is so much fun that I looked forward to going almost every day. There are no classes or schedules so I could just walk in anytime it was convenient for me. I feel better than I have for 15 years and I'm looking forward to continuing to improve my overall health. An additional perk is that I look better too.
Thanks to the manager, Roxie who gives me encouragement & creates a wonderfully positive environment. I'm so grateful to have Koko in Edmond, OK. I'm totally hooked.
- Leslie, Edmund, Oklahoma
My Koko story begins when I told my husband that I was finally ready to look for a personal trainer, after reaching a point of really getting sick of seeing my body in pictures! My son's wedding was in about 5 months, so time was of the essence. I am one of those people who join gyms, go faithfully for about a month, and then rarely go again. I never know if I am doing the machines correctly, etc. This is why I decided to look for a personal trainer. The next day, I noticed a Koko ad on Facebook. I had never clicked on a Facebook ad (and haven't since), but I was very intrigued! I clicked on the ad & signed up for a demo workout. I really liked it & have been hooked ever since! Long story short, I was very happy with the dress I was able to wear to my son's wedding and 4 of my sister's friends have joined Koko after seeing my transformation in the wedding pictures. I also encouraged my family members and other friends to join and they love it as much as I do.
More important than my dress size though is the fact that my cholesterol went down 51 points in 5 months. I have drastically cut down the amount of Diet Coke I drink, thanks to one of the best Fit Coach's around - Roxie! She encouraged me to try putting a green tea bag (they have the tea bags by the water cooler in the club) in my Koko water bottle and now I do it all the time. I honestly don't know where I'd be if I did not have Koko Fit Club in my life.
I love looking at my page on the website and seeing the total weight I've lifted and how many miles I've of cardio I have completed. It always amazes me - the non-exerciser - to see what I've accomplished! I turn 50 in a few months, in the best shape of my life! Thank you, thank you, Koko! Don't ever leave me!
- Laurie, Oklahoma City
I am so excited about Koko and regret that I didn't start this program when I first heard about it. I'd tried the typical gym scene, personal trainers, etc., and HATED it. Koko is a perfect fit for me, a 64-year-old who is diabetic and obese. I've lost many inches--I don't take measurements but I know how my clothes fit--and am enjoying a healthier lifestyle along with much more energy. The staff has been AWESOME! I intend for Koko to be a part of my life as long as it and I exist. Thanks Koko. You've done what no one else could do for me.
- Deb Magee, Edmund, OK
As a "woman of a certain age," I felt tired and weak when I decided to join Koko. The experience has been fantastic! It truly is like having a personal trainer. Sessions are short enough to keep from becoming discouraged, and the flash drive keeps me from cheating...as I used to do at a "regular gym." I'm stronger, more energetic, and feel good to know I'm improving my health and level of fitness. I love Koko!
- Jervia Bullard
I joined Koko FitClub just after signing up for Weight Watchers Online and chose the Diet Booster Workout Program. My goal was to lose 10 lbs. I was completely dedicated to working out 3 times a week and eating healthy. The best part, I am still able to enjoy my red wine! Within 2 months, I hit my goal weight and continued on with the Diet Booster program. Fast forward 8 months and I'm still losing weight while gaining strength and getting tone. I am down 27lbs and have my figure from 25 years ago, BACK!!! So, let's talk dress size, I was a size 10, now I am a size 2. Honestly, I did now it was possible but here I am! My husband, Mychael has been on this journey with me and he is down 24lbs. Yep, that's High School weight for him! We love Koko FitClub and feel like we have found the perfect workout for us to maintain a healthy lifestyle while feeling Fabulous!
- Connie Parker, Danville, CA
I really, really LOVE KoKo. I joined the minute the Powell, Ohio location opened and I am so glad I did! I have been a gym member for many years but find Koko is the best fit for me. The equipment is great and the visual display is so helpful. Having the performance tracking in place to view is very helpful to me. I am a small business owner with over 130 employees to oversee, caring for mental health diagnosis individuals. As much as I love my clients, staff and job duties, it also creates a significant amount of work time, on-call duties and stress. I find Koko is my "me time" and a major stress reliever. I feel great when I leave and look forward to my next trip. The staff are really knowledgeable, helpful and I appreciate Koko allows me the flexibility of arriving before or after staffed hours due to my work and family schedule.
- Darla, Powell, Ohio
I am a 42 year old diabetic. When I started Koko FitClub in February of 2012, my diabetes was not doing so well and I was looking at going on insulin instead of medication. My A1C (3 month average of blood sugar) was 9.1 which is an average of 214. Blood sugars should range from 75-124 per my doctor.
When I started Koko my weight was 251 pounds and my cholesterol was 297. My waist was 38 inches and my clothes were tight. I was wearing extra-large shirts. It has been six months and I just did my blood work again. My A1C is now at 5.1, which is perfect. That is a 3 month average of 119. My weight is now 203 pounds!! 48 pound weight loss!!!! My cholesterol is now at 198, down into the good range. My waist is 34 inches and shrinking. Not only am I losing weight by staying with Koko, but my energy level is up. I only get tired at night and not during the day like I had been. I could have done some of this without Koko, but without the constant motivation of the Koko staff in Rapid City, SD and the constant encouragement from my family, there is no way I could have done it.
Thank you so much Koko for giving my life back and helping show me that with some simple changes and a positive attitude, it is possible to get back the things you love the most.

I have a hereditary condition called Lynch Syndrome (pretty rare, so no one knows what this is - you can google it :). As a result of this condition, I was diagnosed with colon cancer in 1992 at the age of 26. I'm also at a high risk for other cancers including endometrial and ovarian. To avoid getting those cancers, I had a preventative complete hysterectomy in November 2011.
I've never had a big issue with weight and because of that, haven't been compelled to work out consistently. However, over the winter, I started experiencing more rapid weight gain (about 10 pounds in a matter of months) and my body was very slow in recovering from the surgery. The final straw was in March 2012 when my husband, daughter and I visited my brother and his family in Colorado. They wanted to go on a fairly short, easy hike...I could barely make it!
One Saturday shortly after returning home, I received an ad in the mail for the newly opened Koko FitClub in our town. The indvidualized program, flexible hours, and short workout times instantly appealed to me. Thinking back to that hike the month before, I decided then and there to schedule a demo. I joined the club the very next day and have been regularly working out for over 4 months now. In the first 3 months I've experienced a 38% strength gain...amazing results for someone that couldn't even walk up stairs without getting winded.
My main goal upon joining Koko was to improve my physical condition for an upcoming trip to Colorado with my daughter's church youth group. I knew that there would be hiking involved and I did not want a repeat of the March hike! I am happy to say that I was able to hike and keep up with 18 high school kids for an entire week. I feel better than I've felt in a very long time! Thanks Koko!!

The first time a few of the chicks were together outside, 911 did nothing but cry (peep loudly) for the entire time! But he got better.
On June 6 intern Trish, with puppet, was helping experienced trainer Barb Clauss with 910 and 911. Barb left the novice to take the chicks back to their pens. Little 911 decided to stop in a drying mud puddle to forage for worms when he spotted a moth. He chased after it, darting high and low and missing the moth each time. After the moth flew away, the "puppet" managed to get 911's attention again and got him moving through the gates of the pens. Chick 910 stayed near Trish/puppet, trilling and pecking at the worms while he waited. But not 911! He turned around and started running full speed in the opposite direction! Luckily Barb eventually came to the rescue, which is when "911 behaved like an angel," said Trish!
He was soon paired with 910 for socializing and soon they were spending days and nights together, doing just fine in the pond, grass and pen. These two will be part of Cohort One, the oldest and the first group of birds to be shipped to Wisconsin for flight school before migration in October.
of Flight School in Wisconsin:
On Sep. 26 he refused to stay with the ultralight when his cohort was led over to the site where the other birds have been together since Sep. 5. Finally, four days later (Sep. 30), pilot Chris was successful in leading #911 and #903 over to complete the move. All the Class of 2009 is together at one pen site. That same day, he flew again during a training session with his cohort One mates.
Nov 20: Crane 911 was one of the 16 who flew off on this exercise day and didn't come back! The 16 flew more than 15 miles before Richard located and caught up to them. He then turned them on courseand led them to safe landing at the next planned stopover. Until today, this has never happened since the pilots began leading whoopers south in 2001.
January 13, 2010, Day 82: Migration complete for the "St. Marks 10:" #906, 908, 910, 911, 912, 914, 915, 918, 925, and 926! Crane 911 flew all but 18 miles of this migration!
Spring 2010, First Journey North: Eight of the St. Marks juveniles left at mid-day March 24 on their first journey north! According to a PTT reading from #908, she (and probably #915 #910, #911, #914, #918, #925 and #926) reached Shelby County, Alabama— about 260 miles from the pen! Their next flight took them an additional 380 miles to Monroe County, IN, where an observer photo confirmed that they were all still together. As of March 29 they had flown another 73 miles to Fountain County, IN, roughly 70 miles due east of the Piatt Co., IL stopover used during their ultralight-guided journey south last fall. Tracker Eva said a PTT reading for #915 on March 31 put them in Monroe County, Wisconsin. On April 1 Sara picked up their signals in the Necedah area. They successfully completed migration!" HOORAY!!!!!
Fall 2010: Remained on Horicon NWR in Dodge County, Wisconsin at least through October 15 along with the cranes he had been with all summer and a few others. He and cohort mates 8, 15, 18, 25 and 29 returned to the St. Marks NWR release site from an undetermined location on the morning of December 29 when the five chicks in the Class of 2010 had already been there for several days. They continued to return to the pen site periodically but the "costumes" always drove them away. The group (except for 25 and 29) were found in Leon County, FL during a survey flight on January 13.
Spring 2011: Crane #11-09 was detected SE of Tallahassee, FL, during a survey flight on March. 11. He was then with cohort mates 8, 18, 15 and male 29-08 (formerly #829); all successfuily migrated north to central Wisconsin for summer.
Fall 2011: Cranes #11-09 ((#911)) and #15-09 (#915), and DAR birds 34-09, 38-09 and 27-10 were reported in Marshall County, IL on December 8, and signals from #11-09 and #15-09 were detected at St. Marks NWR in Florida on January 2 and 3. They wandered and found a good territory near Tallahassee in a pasture with a herd of cows, and stayed for the next two months, until spring migration.
Spring 2012: Cranes #11-09 ((#911)) and #15-09 (#915) completed migration to central Wisconsin by March 20. These 3-year-olds built a nest and began incubating one egg on April 27. Unfortunated, the eggs disappeared by May 6, likely due to predation. This is not surprising for such young and inexperienced parents, so we wish them better luck next spring with more experience behind them!
Fall 2012: Cranes 11-09 (#911) and 15-09 (#915) arrived back at their Leon County, Florida winter home on November 26. The pair makes their territory on private property there. Each evening they arrive to spend the night and every morning they depart for a day of foraging. Before leaving on their day's adventures, they often chase either the cows or the Canada geese that share their winter territory.
Spring 2013: Cranes #11-09 and #15-09 began migration March 22 and arrived back in central Wisconsin on April 3. They soon had a nest together but they abandoned the nest in early May, apparently in response to the hatch of black flies in late April. Their eggs were collected, hatched in incubators, and the young cranes were used in release experiments at sites in eastern Wisconsin where there are fewer black flies. The pair did not nest again this summer.
2013: Cranes #11-09 and #15-09 safely migrated to their wintering territory on a pasture with a pond near Tallahassee, Florida. They dropped in at the St. Marks pen site in February!
Fall 2014: Cranes #11-09 and #15-09 safely migrated once again to their wintering territory on a pasture with a pond near Tallahassee, Florida, finally arriving on January 3, 2015 after being in Indian so long that it looked like they'd stay there. "Better late than never," exclaimed the delighted landowner where the crane pair winters. "So VERY happy that our 2 Whooping Cranes have FINALLY returned to their Cow Pond." On the left is male #11-09, strutting his stuff for his mate #15-09.
The pair wandered a bit on some night and, surprisingly, were tracked on some nights to a different roosting spot than usual.
Spring 2015 : Pair #11-09/#15-09 appear to have sarted their journey north on the same day as they began it last spring! They failed to return the evening of March 7th and returned safely to their Wisconsin nesting grounds. By mid May, and again May 22, they were observed tending to their new chick, W2-15. The chick did not survive. Unfortunately, pair #11-09 and #15-09 separated in late summer.
Fall 2015 : Male #11-09, who split with his long-time mate #15-09 in late summer, migrated south and finally arrived at 4 p.m. on Christmas Day on the winter territory near Tallahassee where he and his former mate spent winter since 2010. He was alone:
Spring 2016: Male #11-09, who split with his previous mate before fall migration last year, returned to Wisconsin and found a new mate by June. He and parent-reared (PR) #20-14 are a pair now.
Fall 2016: No news. The last sighting of #11-09 was August 1, 2016 in Juneau County.
Spring 2017: No news, no sighting.

Moss Point (Miss.) senior shooting guard Devin Booker announced Thursday that he would play basketball at Kentucky.
Booker, who is the son of former Missouri star Melvin Booker, had been in Columbia the last two weekends, once for an official visit and again last Friday when his father and the rest of the 1993-94 team was honored during "The Return to Hearnes."
Booker was Missouri's top target, a four-star recruit who was ranked as the 18th-best player in the Class of 2014 by ESPN and 30th overall by Rivals.com.
He averaged 29.7 points as a junior and was the Mississippi Gatorade Player of the Year last season.
Booker also took official visits to Michigan and Michigan State. He grew up in Grand Rapids, Mich., living with his mother before moving in with his father in Mississippi prior to his sophomore year in high school.

Every year Collegiate Farm Bureau puts on an agriculture forum. This forum brings in local legislators, community people, professors and students alike to have the opportunity to ask questions directly to the political representatives. This year Collegiate Farm Bureau brought in Senator Roy Blunt and Congressmen Billy Long. This year they chose the Vice President of Missouri Farm Bureau Todd Hayes to be the moderator. Samantha Warner, the collegiate president, and Dr. Anson Elliott, Head of the Agriculture School, also took time to say a few words.
In years past I had not noticed what an important event this was for the School of Agriculture. I just saw it as an annual event. This year I noticed it was all about relationships. It is important to take the time to focus on the relational side of the forum and what that says about the parties involved.
I saw this forum as a way for everyone to maintain the relationships that have existed for so long across multiple levels. Relational maintenance behaviors where shown by almost everyone at the forum. Of course, both the political figures where positive. When they answered questions they were always sure to leave it on a positive note since direct question and answer time does not happen often and they need to keep it positive so attendees remember them in a positive manner.
There was also a lot of assurance happening. Samantha addressed the audience at the beginning for a welcome and a thank you at the end. She of course had the responsibility of maintaining assurances for all aspects of the room; faculty, politicians, community members and of course her peers, the students. A social network was also a part in the evening. Professional, personal and acquaintance contacts were at the forum as well. I saw people I knew from across the board at the event, people that I know through personal contact, professional experiences and academically. Maintaining behaviors happens when you assure others, stay positive and introduce others into your social network.
This is just one great example how you can take every opportunity you have an make it into something meaningful to you.

I'm avoiding giving eggs to my baby," said the mother of the cute eight-month-old baby sitting in my clinic.
"Why is that?" I asked.
"I've heard that eggs can cause allergy in babies."
I spent the next few minutes correcting that misperception and explaining why delaying the introduction of cooked eggs might be unwise.
The instinctive response, when someone has an allergy to something, is to avoid it.
Unfortunately, for many years, some had opined - in the absence of proof - that avoiding eating a food might prevent an allergy to it.
This advice included doing so to protect babies and young children. Parents were advised to delay introducing certain foods commonly associated with possibly causing allergies.
We then saw the rates of food allergy increase, rather than decrease, during this same period when "avoidance" was widely made known via the Internet.
In children, can food allergy be prevented?
Probably - but by eating the food.
Studies have shown that the earlier people are exposed to certain foods, the lower their risk of developing allergy to those foods.
How this works exactly is still not known. Some believe that early and regular ingestion of food will help prevent allergy.
Last year, an article in the Journal Of Allergy And Clinical Immunology: In Practice summarised the results of human studies so far.
There is no strong proof suggesting that avoiding or delaying the introduction of certain types of food to babies prevents allergy.
Rather, the risk of allergy is increased if the introduction of such foods is delayed.
Studies showed the risk of egg and wheat allergies to be higher if cooked egg and cereal were introduced after six months of age.
Other studies showed that if fish was introduced before nine months of age, the risk of fish allergy and eczema at one year of age was lower.
In essence, weaning foods should be introduced between four and six months of age and should not be deliberately delayed.
The exception to this rule is if a sibling has peanut allergy, in which case it may be safer to consult a doctor specialising in allergy first, before introducing that food.
And if a person already has an allergy to a food, then, yes, he should avoid it.
The question is, who has a real food allergy and who doesn't?
Recently, a patient from Indonesia came to see me. Her mother was worried that she had an egg allergy, because she would develop a rash if she ate eggs every day for a few days.
I asked a few more questions, examined the child, then told her mother that her daughter did not have an egg allergy and to carry on allowing eggs in her diet.
The mother wanted to know if there was a need for tests.
I said no. Though a test might reassure the mother, a physician's duty is to neither traumatise patients nor waste their money on unnecessary tests.
I explained that I knew her daughter did not have an egg allergy through a detailed clinical evaluation, sufficient knowledge and reasoning.
This is not to say that tests are never necessary when seeing patients. Had the picture been suggestive of an allergy in any way, I would certainly have ordered tests for the patient.
Thus reassured, the family returned to Indonesia.
One month later, I saw the girl again. "Thank you, doctor," the mother said. "I let her eat eggs freely and the rash never came back."
This is not a rare scenario in my clinic.
Many parents think that their child has a food allergy when their child has a rash. Often, the rash is not due to a food allergy.
There are a few common causes of rash in children. A short-lived rash may be a heat rash or due to a viral infection. Rashes that last a long time are often due to eczema.
Food allergy symptoms can range from mild to life-threatening, manifesting in many ways; swelling of the face, difficulty breathing, dizziness and the patient may even collapse.
However, other illnesses can also cause these symptoms.
Parents should consult a paediatrician to find out the cause of the symptoms. If the question of food allergy is an issue, consulting a paediatrician specialising in food allergy is useful.
At the beginning of this year, I saw the two younger brothers of a boy who had anaphylaxis, a life-threatening allergic reaction, to peanuts.
His mother did not dare to allow the boys to eat any peanuts or tree nuts and she had come to see me to find out if the two younger boys also had a nut allergy.
Her concerns were spot on - if a child has a peanut allergy, the risk of peanut allergy in his siblings is seven times higher.
It could have been potentially fatal to give the two younger boys peanuts.
I reviewed the two boys and did the tests for them. The negative skin tests meant it was 95 per cent likely that they did not have a peanut allergy. But there was still a 5 per cent chance of the test being wrong.
I could not take any chances with their lives, given the danger of peanut allergy. The two boys came back to the hospital, where I reviewed them again, then had them eat increasing doses of peanuts under close monitoring and with the necessary medication and equipment to treat an allergic reaction.
Happily, this was uneventful. They were not allergic to peanuts. They also tested negative for allergy to tree nuts. I told their mother that they could freely eat any nuts.
The look of relief on the faces of the family members - not only the boys and their mother, but also their grandmother - said more than words ever could.
To this day, the two boys are eating nuts without problems and they and their parents do not have to check the ingredient list of every processed food items they eat or worry about accidental exposure to nuts.
Their mother had done the right thing for them.

Bachelor Pad: The Crazies Are Still Crazy
All the lunatics from the previous seasons return, and much fast-forwarding is necessary.
With the conclusion of The Bachelorette, and the revelation that Ali and Roberto have found true, long-lasting, eternal, undying love-between-two-hot-people, ABC has decided to continue The Bachelor hit parade in the cheapest way possible: Assemble all the old, loony contestants, Real World/Road Rules Challenge style (and have them and their various buoyant breasts/chiseled six-packs sleep in one giant room), all under the guise of a competition for $250,000, the rules of which are still unclear after suffering through the entire two-hour premiere. The entrance of the contestants at the beginning of the show was a series of, "Oh, yeah, that guy!?" and "That insane girl again? ... YES." There was violent, bug-eyed Dave from Jillian's season, stage-five clinger Michelle who scared Jake (who, at the time, still seemed reasonably sane), and Ali's eighties-movie villain, thawed out again for the occasion.
Host Chris Harrison's blindingly white teeth explained that each week, the girls get to vote off one guy and the guys one girl, and co-host and Bachelor winner/loser Melissa Rycroft stood by his side, apparently only there to remind us that she's married now, so Jason Mesnick can go F himself, thank you very much. The contestants started immediately drinking and cavorting; some paired off, and some were still mad at each other over previous hook-ups. So get this: There's a network of former Bachelor/Bachelorettes who have reunions, and go on, like, cruises together — can you imagine walking into a bar and being surrounded by 25 of these eight-foot-tall, bikini-wearing, chest-hair-less aliens? Not a good self-esteem night, that's for sure.
Anyway, some boring stuff happened; there was giant Twister game that basically led to a big orgy; and finally we got to see Michelle acting like the crazy lady we knew her to be. Someone started a rumor that Michelle made out with the eighties villain, and even though it was most likely true, this made her very, very angry. She thought it was Tenley, poor, delicate Tenley, and so cornered her in the bathroom, holding the door shut menacingly. The cameras only picked up the conversation — watch the video below to see the full scene. Sadly, Michelle got kicked off in the end; the Bachelors thought she was just too frightening to keep around.
While this show is good for the initial sight gag of seeing so many long-lost reality-TV personalities together, after that first laugh, it veers into depressing, post-fifteen-minutes-of-fame territory. At least on The Bachelor/ette there's the gloss of love, no matter how contrived. On Bachelor Pad, everyone's in it expressly for the money, and you get the sense that most of them desperately need it. What's romantic about that?

|Social Services Programs
If you have a question about a social service program, or want to make a referral for services, please call our general number, 651-565-3351, and ask to speak to the Intake Social Worker.
Children's Services

Child Welfare
Families may request voluntary services for help in the areas of parenting techniques, support, and child development concerns.

A federal background check and training are required.
Parent Support Outreach Program (PSOP)
What is the Parent Support Outreach Program (PSOP)?
The Parent Support Outreach Program is intended for families with children under ten years of age and combines aspects of general child welfare case management with an emphasis on parenting and development while addressing the immediate needs of the family.
Offers child welfare case management services on a voluntary basis. These services are designed to work with families in a variety of areas from parenting and development to housing, transportation and general household management. Child welfare case management often includes referrals to other community services and is intended as a short-term intervention that will have long-term positive results.

4 great workout motivation tips
When you want to get in shape and stay healthy, getting motivated can often be the hardest part. Here are some of our favorite ideas for increasing your fitness motivation and getting the momentum going for your workout routine:
Walk a little moreThis may sound like the simplest thing in the world, but it can actually make a huge difference. If you can add a few hundred extra steps to your routine every day, you'll see your waistline shrinking in just 12 weeks! Plus, simply getting up out of your chair and walking around more will get your blood flowing and make you more likely to want to exercise.
Try the Pranamat ECO massage matThis therapeutic massage mat will help you relieve aches and pains and any other tension you may be feeling — and when your body is feeling better, this will help motivate you to move more! And if you do sustain any injuries or soreness from your workouts, this is the perfect way to unwind and help your body bounce back, so you're ready to do it all again tomorrow.
Change up your routine!Sometimes one of the major factors that keeps us from wanting to exercise is simply boredom. The same old run every single day can start to get old, which can make you less motivated. But if you switch up the route you take, or add some new kinds of exercises into the mix, you'll be able to keep things fresh and keep the motivation up.
Make a weekly workout planIf you find time in your schedule ahead of time, you'll be way less likely to make excuses about being too busy to workout. Plus, you'll feel even more accomplished every time you complete one of the exercises on your list, which will motivate you even more for next time.
Most importantly, the best way to get and stay motivated to work out is to figure out what works for you. Try out these tips and more and, if something is successful, stick with it!

It seems of late that I have had a string of days of no patience. Is it just me? I know it is one of many menopause challenges. I can't get through this line fast enough. Why is the cashier talking to everyone? How come traffic can't go the speed limit? Why is my friend late?
As the day goes on this impatience just continues to build. As I become aware that this is a behavior or feeling that I am choosing to have, I become annoyed with myself as well. It is never ending. After I move out of self-annoyance, I realize that I am making a choice to be annoyed and look for a way to shift out of this craziness spiraling inside of me. I feel like a mad dog who has been taunted for days and is left out of the cage to seek revenge. Looking for other options so I can feel better about life, I begin my shifting from one crazy reality to another not so crazy one. This new awareness of my impatient behavior now enables me to laugh at myself when I feel another wave coming on.
As my body tenses up and my mind heads toward judgment of a situation, the other half of my mind, observing the whole situation, smiles and gets a little giggle out of this behavior that really had no basis for existing except for being in menopause. So the rest of my day is awareness of me getting ready to react and the sane part of me responding with an internal there you go again (no judgment), laugh, laugh.
Practicing awareness instead of just repeating bad behavior over and over again rescues me for now from the road of impatience or maybe from being put into jail. I will work toward developing the patience that I once had before menopause. For now, I am no longer unhappy, pissed off, or raging in my car at the other drivers. Observing my behavior, thoughts and mood helps me to return to the self I would rather be, content, happy and seeking what is really important.

I'm back from Denver. Where my husband, his sister and I moved his 73-year old dad into The Denver Hospice. My father-in-law was transported by ambulance since he can't walk. The hospice is a beautiful, new facility, but sadly, it's filled with death and the grieving. Definitely not the happiest place on earth.
Of course everyone was talking about the shootings in Aurora. The hospital where my father-in-law had been staying, and the hospice and our hotel were all within a couple miles of the theater where the shootings occurred. There was an extreme amount of sadness in Denver. It was also 98 degrees which was almost unbearable.
I've never been happier to be home and can't wait to get back to my job and normalcy. There's a lot to be said for normal.
On the weight loss front, I actually have good news. I made it a point to eat as healthy as possible. Whether it was hospital cafeteria food, fast food or a sit-down restaurant, I made healthy choices. I also guzzled ice water. I was 221.0 last Wednesday. Today I'm 213.2. I feel back in control.
Now it's off to work and my regular life, which I appreciate so much more after the last three days!

Chapter 5 Summary
Lois and Jacy ignore each other through dinner, and afterwards Genevieve gets into bed and quickly drinks himself to sleep. Lois is annoyed by how easily Gene does this because she has to drink for hours before the liquor will turn her off, and she will usually just use pills if she wants to sleep. After dinner, Lois goes up to Jacy's room and watches her washing her face. She looks around Jacy's room and finds that every tacky photo and piece of memorabilia annoys her. Lois tells Jacy that she'd hate to see her marry Dwayne because after two months he would stop flattering her. She wouldn't be rich anymore, and she'd be unhappy. Jacy tells her mother that she doesn't care about money, and Lois tells her she is stupid then. Lois tells Jacy that she scared Gene into getting rich...

It wasn't until he punched her, causing her to drop her 8-month-old daughter to the floor, that she decided she'd had enough of the physical and emotional abuse. Without any place to turn, she called police and was referred to Family Rescue Inc.

BUHS Nordic teams have lofty goals
"This year, the boy's team has a solid group of returning skiers," commented coach Amanda Dixon, referring to the likes of Freitas-Eagan, Evan Koch, Galen Fletcher, Colin Costa-Walsh, Orion Stone and Ty Allembert.
The Colonels are scheduled to debut at Prospect Mountain on Dec. 16 at 11 a.m.
Coach Dixon added, "A trio of freshmen, Henry Thurber, Nolan Holmes, and Sam Freitas-Eagan show great potential and will likely keep things competitive among the boy's team."
Captains Isabella Thurber and Evy Williams will lead a BUHS girls team that has all members back after earning freestyle bronze at the state meet last season. The other strong returnees are Sarah Gallagher, Liz Morse, Elery Loggia, Annie Takacs, Bella Takacs and Angelika Toomey.
"Both the girls and boys teams have a real depth of talent and experience. We aim to vie for individual and team podium spots within the MVL and in the state. It feels really good to be able to have those as attainable goals," Dixon stated.
Isaac Freitas-Eagan competed as part of the New England Team at Junior Nationals in Lake Placid, N.Y., and was on the Vermont Elite Team at Eastern High School Championships in Chittenden last winter. Thurber was also part of the Vermont Elite Team at EHSC.
Koch, Gallagher, Loggia, Morse and Bella Takacs were part of the Vermont Elite Team at the U16 Festival in Farmington, Maine last season.

Cheryl Strayed Quotes About ChoicesQuotes about: Choices
Nobody's going to do your life for you. You have to do it yourself, whether you're rich or poor, out of money or raking it in, the beneficiary of ridiculous fortune or terrible injustice. And you have to do it no matter what is true. No matter what is hard. No matter what unjust, sad, sucky things befall you. Self-pity is a dead-end road. You make the choice to drive down it. It's up to you to decide to stay parked there or to turn around and drive out.
The narratives we create in order to justify our actions and choices become in so many ways who we are. They are the things we say back to ourselves to explain our complicated lives. Perhaps the reason you've not yet been able to forgive yourself is that you're still invested in your self-loathing. Perhaps not forgiving yourself is the flip side of your stealing-this-now cycle. Would you be a better or worse person if you forgave yourself for the bad things you did? If you perpetually condemn yourself for being a liar and a thief, does that make you good?

Quick Reference
Younger son of Pisistratus of Athens (6th cent. bc). Closely associated with his elder brother Hippias (1), he was known esp. as patron and lover of the arts. He invited Anacreon and Simonides to Athens, and set up herms around Attica with words of gnomic wisdom; see gnome. He may have added Homeric recitals to the Panathenaea (see rhapsodes). It is unclear how much of the artistic momentum of Pisistratid Athens (esp. the temple of Olympian Zeus) should be associated specifically with him. He was murdered by Harmodius and Aristogīton in 514.

City of Saint John studies neighbourhood improvement budget
Officials review findings of UNBSJ business class
The City of Saint John is evaluating how much bang for its buck it's getting out of its neighbourhood improvement budget as officials look for ways to cut overall spending and get out of direct funding for social programs.
City officials are currently reviewing the findings of a business class at the University of New Brunswick Saint John campus that has been evaluating the issue.
The first-year master of business students spent six-weeks working with a number of city departments, looking at various services, said assistant professor Kim Lemky.
"I wanted to do something more experiential," she said.
But Lemky says she can't reveal the findings for privacy issues.
$700K for recreation, community centres
The city has set aside more than $700,000 for recreation and community centres this year.
One of the issues the students studied was coming up with a way to measure the city's social return on investment on neighbourhood improvement, said Lemky.
"Sometimes at first they said, 'Well what's the answer?' And we'd say, 'They don't have the answers.'"
But the city's leisure services co-ordinator Barry Freeze says the city gets back ten-fold the $22,000 it spends at the Crescent Valley Resource Centre to fund one full-time position and one part-time.
"The social return on investment that we're getting is the connectivity that the citizens are getting to all the services," he said.
Mary Dorion is one of them. She participates in the centre's walking program with about a dozen other women.
"It's helping me with me self-esteem, it's helping me get to know other people in the neighbourhood," she said.

Neil Flambé covers!
Simon and Schuster is releasing the first four books in the Neil Flambé series as paperbacks.
The amazing Laurent Linn worked on them like crazy and got me to redesign the pics of Neil to match the more adventurous, Julia Child meets James Bond feel of the new book covers.
I love them and my inner 12-year-old boy loves them too.
If you click on the SandS link above you'll also notice that it's possible to pre-order the fifth Neil Flambé book as well! Hint... Shakespeare.
And there will be more exciting news to come... stay tuned and (hint, hint) look to the stars for inspiration.

Chihuahuan Desert Network (CHDN)
Parks in this Network
The Southwest Network Collaboration
The Southwest Network Collaboration (SWNC) is a joint effort between three natural resource inventory & monitoring programs in the National Park Service (NPS): Chihuahuan Desert Network, Sonoran Desert Network, and Southern Plains Network. Through this collaboration, the programs share monitoring protocols as well as data collection and reporting duties. The goal of the SWNC is to improve effectiveness and efficiency across all three networks.
Under the SWNC, the networks, in varying combinations, share protocols, training, data management, and reporting responsibilities for eight different protocols: air quality, climate, invasive exotic plants, groundwater, landbirds, surface water (streams and seeps/springs/tinajas), and terrestrial vegetation & soils, as well as mammal monitoring with trailmaster cameras.
Field crews are shared across the programs. For example, the Sonoran Desert Network's aquatic ecology crew conducts streams monitoring in Southern Plains Network parks, with their expenses paid by the Southern Plains Network. For protocols shared across programs, the methods and datasheets used by field crews are uniform. Data management duties are shared among the three program data management staff members. The data for all programs collaborating on a given protocol are stored in a central database accessible to all of the networks. In most cases, analysis and reporting duties are assigned to a single network.

Jung Il Woo and Park So Dam take you behind the scenes of their Cinderella and Four Knights shower scene
Most of us spent last weekend reeling from all that went down in episodes 9 & 10 of Cinderella and Four Knights. For instance, the morning after the kiss, the sudden love pentagon between four characters, Jung Il Woo's new fondness for Park So Dam, and, gosh, that scene where he washes her hair! Isn't this what drama dreams are made of? But ever wondered what it's like to shoot these scenes?
We went behind the scenes to watch our two lead characters shoot some adorable scenes together. And if you think the shower scene was awkward....well you're wrong. It was apparently just really cold.
Isn't this adorable? Chat with us in the comments section below!

How To Get The Springsteen Slapback Vocal on Glory Days
A vintage sound that has been popping up again…
You can get a similar sound using stock plugins in your DAW. Here we discuss how.
Phosphorescent, Arcade Fire, and loads of modern acts have been using this effect that has been around for decades. Slapback delays can create space around a vocal without pushing it to the back of the mix (like a reverb) and can be used to create the psychoacoustic effect of a loud sound. Such effects trick our brains into thinking that we're hearing a sound that was amplified and is reflecting off a hard surface.

Match report:<br> Spurs 1, Newcastle 0
Tottenham Hotspur (Spurs) Football Club is located in North London. The club is also known as Spurs. Tottenham's home ground is White Hart Lane. The club motto is Audere est Facere (To dare is to do).
A typical poacher's goal from Jermain Defoe secured a deserved win as we climbed into seventh place in the Barclays Premiership on Sunday.
There could be few complaints from the Geordies as we completely dominated the first half and maintained the territorial advantage after the break.
As always, there was late pressure as we defended the 1-0 lead but Newcastle only carved out two chances all afternoon - Shola Ameobi headed down and over the bar in the first half and James Milner lobbed wide of an open goal after a mix-up between Paul Robinson and Ledley King after the break. Captain King was otherwise outstanding.
The winning goal owed a lot to Defoe's tenacity and willingness to chase lost causes as stand-in goalkeeper Steve Harper was left red-faced.
Defoe chased down Celestine Babayaro's back pass to Harper's weaker left side and the keeper hit his clearance straight at Simon Davies. He flicked out a leg and deflected the ball into the air, leaving the lively Defoe with a tap in from six yards.
The England star's 22nd goal of the season improved our league record at home to seven wins, a draw and a defeat since the 5-4 loss against Arsenal back in November.
Martin Jol made three changes from the line-up at Birmingham City last week with Stephen Kelly, Anthony Gardner and Simon Davies in for Noe Pamarot, Noureddine Naybet and Reto Ziegler, who is on the bench with Robbie Keane, Sean Davis and the returning Goran Bunjevcevic.
Defoe's goal gave us a deserved lead at the interval as we completely dominated the first half.
Davies, Carrick and most notably Brown chased and harried from the first minute, refusing Butt and Faye time to breathe in midfield, a work ethic maintained by Defoe up front.
The possession wasn't turned into clear-cut chances though as crosses missed their targets by inches or passes were a yard to far. Brown, Reid and Gardner all had effort just off target and Harper, making only his second league start of the season, looked in good nick when called upon.
Indeed, Newcastle carved out the best chance of the half in just about their only attack as Jenas crossed for Ameobi climbing high at the far post only for his downward header to bounce up and over the bar and land on the roof of the net.
However, Harper's day took a turn for the worse four minutes before the break when Defoe chased down Babayaro's back pass, Harper's clearance of his weaker left foot was blocked by Davies and the ball rebounded for Defoe to tap home.
Shearer was replaced by Milner at half-time as the pace relented somewhat as the start of the second half.
Again, we always looked the more likely to score as Boumsong's tackle denied Defoe and Kelly volleyed over.
As at St Andrews last week, Jol as forced into changes as Brown limped off after 54 minutes, replaced by Davis.
Three minutes later and Milner missed the chance of the match. Robinson had everything under control but King looked away as the keeper rolled the ball out to him. Milner was onto it in a flash but with the goal gaping, lobbed well wide of the target from 25 yards.
We hit back with Kanoute, Davis and Davies all trying their luck and Kanoute might have done better from 16 yards from Defoe's lovely pass.
Into the last 15 minutes and Newcastle started to enjoy more possession without really breaking us down.
King was there to make a couple of blocks, corners were cleared and two decent free-kick opportunities both driven into the wall.
2mins: Davies' long throw half-cleared to Brown, 20 yards out, chested the ball down cleverly to work space and drilled shot straight at Harper from edge of box.
5mins: Reid floated in cross from right, Gardner rose well but not enough power on header to trouble Harper.
8mins: Excellent low cross from Reid from left just too far in front of Defoe and Harper out bravely to collect.

18mins: YELLOW. Faye for stopping quick taking of free-kick.
20mins: Good control and pass from Defoe wide to Reid, measured cross dummied by Davies and missed by inches by Kanoute.
20mins: Kanoute control and laid ball to Reid, he ran at Carr before shooting wide from 25 yards.
22mins: Carrick turned away from Butt, threaded pass just too far ahead of Defoe, Harper out to clear.
23mins: Brown half-volleyed well wide from 25 yards.
27mins: MISS. Newcastle's first serious attack, Jenas floated ball to far post, met by Ameobi in six-yard box, headed into ground but ball bounced up and over the bar, landing on roof of net.
28mins: Davies onto ball in flash as Butt dallied, looked to square for unmarked Kanoute but Butt back to make amends and block cross.
30mins: Huge leap from Gardner to meet King's free-kick but header always going wide.
41mins: GOAL. Defoe put pressure on Babayaro's back pass to Harper, clearance off weaker left foot hit Davies and rebounded for Defoe to tap home from six yards.
Spurs 1, Newcastle 0
Half-time: Spurs 1, Newcastle 0
Half-time: SUB. Milner for injured Shearer.
47mins: Defoe latched onto O'Brien's mistake from Robinson's long kick but Boumsong there to make last-ditch tackle as he pulled the trigger.

50mins: YELLOW. Ameobi for foul on King.
54mins: Davis for injured Brown.
57mins: MISS. Mix-up between Robinson and King handed Milner golden chance, 25 yards out, open goal, lobbed yards wide. Glaring miss.
61mins: SUBS. N'Zogbia and Ambrose for Butt and Robert.
63mins: Davies won brave 50-50, ball fell to Kanoute, 25 yards out, time to steady himself but scuffed shot with left foot.
64mins: Decent build-up, Defoe wide to supportiung Edman, low cross controlled by Kanoute and laid back for Davis to strike high and wide.
66mins: Kelly threaded pass through to Davies, managed to beat advancing Harper to it but couldn't get ball out of feet to cross and Harper back to collect.
73mins: O'Brien's clearance fell to Davies, 25 yards out, went for a curler with outside of right foot but lifted too high.

I belong to Beta Sigma Phi International Sorority and took this to the ornament exchange. We take the ornaments wrapped, draw numbers then select the packages accordingly. Fourteen of us and everyone wished they had chosen the star ornament. They loved it. Thank you for a perfect ornament that also did good.

Prince Paul the Lunatic, one of several congenital idiots who ruled Russia during the 18th century, had his own private brigade of powder-wigged infantrymen, whom he used to march around as if they were toy soldiers -- back and forth in the courtyard, just for the fun and splendor of it.
He never used them to fight anybody; just to play with. They looked pretty, and watching them wheel and countermarch at his every whim made him feel like a king.
Today we have the armed forces of the United States as playthings, ready to salute and march around and play at soldiering to gratify the rulers` whims.
Off goes the 82d Airborne to Honduras -- not to fight anybody, just to be marched up and down like toy soldiers. Secretary of State Shultz testified that the 82d has been sent to Honduras ``to get people`s attention.`` The White House insists they will not go into combat.
Five years ago, U.S. Marines went off to Lebanon also not to fight, but to be seen. They walked around their perimeter with unloaded rifles, lest by accident they might hurt somebody. A truck bomber killed 240 of them, and the survivors were withdrawn.
As the 82d Airborne was landing in Honduras last week, Sen. Mark Hatfield, R-Ore., walked onto the floor of the Senate to propose a law to stop this toying with the military. He rejected the administration claim that the 82d was off on an emergency exercise: ``It is not just another exercise,`` he said. ``It is a carefully crafted stage prop in the hands of an administration that has demonstrated unparalleled skill in the manipulation of the media.``
Hatfield suggested that, by sending the 3,126 U.S. troops to Honduras, the administration was trying to intimidate the American people -- not the Nicaraguan communists -- with TV pictures of U.S. troops going off to war.
