A Matter Of Succession
This is WEEKEND EDITION from NPR News. I'm Rachel Martin. And, phew, we made it. TGIP, people, it is time to play the puzzle. Joining me now is WEKEEND EDITION's puzzle-master, Will Shortz. Good morning, Will.
WILL SHORTZ, BYLINE: Good morning, Rachel.
MARTIN: So refresh our memory. What was last week's challenge?
SHORTZ: Yeah, it came from listener Dick Hess of Rancho Palos Verdes, California. He gave it to me at the International Puzzle Party in Japan and it's a variation on a classic. It goes: Nieces and nephews have I none, but that man's father is my father's son. And asks you to tell us what's the gender of the speaker and who's the speaker referring to.
And the answer is male and the speaker is referring to his own son.
MARTIN: Aha, the classic family tree puzzle. We have more than 1,000 correct answers this week and our randomly selected winner is Damon Jespersen of Byfield, Massachusetts. He joins us on the line now. Congratulations, Damon.
DAMON JESPERSEN: Thank you very much.
SHORTZ: Damon, I was wondering how did you get this answer?
JESPERSEN: This one sort of popped right into my head, but then I like to do the puzzle with my family on Sunday mornings. I go over to my folks house and we have breakfast, and so my dad and I sat down and made sure that there weren't any other logical answers.
MARTIN: I love that it's a family activity. That's great.
JESPERSEN: Yeah, we all like solving problems. It's a family trait. We used to do a lot of creative problem solving as kids.
MARTIN: Very cool. And when you're not doing puzzle challenges, what do you do during the week, Damon?
JESPERSEN: All sorts of things. I work as a arborist assistant, a carpenter, I work in the theater both writing, directing and acting. I have a ceramics studio and I live in a small farm that I'm trying to bring back up to production.
MARTIN: You are a busy man.
JESPERSEN: All the time.
MARTIN: And you live in Byfield, Massachusetts? What's that like?
JESPERSEN: It used to have more cows than people, but now there are more people here. So, you know, it's by the field. There's a great swimming hole and that's where I grew up, so.
MARTIN: Sounds idyllic. OK, well, if you're ready, I'm ready. You ready to play the puzzle, Damon?
JESPERSEN: The worst that can happen is I make a fool of myself.
MARTIN: Yes, that's not so bad. I do that all the time. OK, Will, let's do it.
SHORTZ: All right, Damon. I have a feeling you're going to do just fine. I'm going to give you two words starting with the letter S. For each pair, you give me a third word, also starting with S that can follow my first one and precede my second one, in each case to complete a compound word or a familiar two-word phrase. For example, if I said sirloin and sauce, you would say steak as in sirloin steak and steak sauce.
MARTIN: OK, you got it, Damon?
JESPERSEN: I think so.
MARTIN: All right, let's give it a go.
SHORTZ: Number one is shooting and studded.
JESPERSEN: Shooting star.
SHORTZ: And star-studded. Good.
MARTIN: Oh, good.
SHORTZ: Number two is silk and stuffer.
JESPERSEN: Silk stocking?
MARTIN: Yes.
SHORTZ: Stocking, right. Silk stocking, stocking stuffer. Good. Swizzle, shift.
JESPERSEN: Stick.
SHORTZ: That's it, stick. Side, that's S-I-D-E and stool, something that you might use to get to an upper shelf.
JESPERSEN: Step.
SHORTZ: Step stool. Side step, is it. Sterling, screen.
JESPERSEN: Silver.
SHORTZ: That's it. Sunday, spirit. And for Sunday blank I bet a lot of people are going to this right now.
JESPERSEN: School?
SHORTZ: Sunday school and school spirit.
MARTIN: Ah, good.
SHORTZ: Sea, S-E-A, and shaker.
JESPERSEN: Salt.
SHORTZ: Sea salt, salt shaker. Safe and symbol. It's a three-letter answer.
MARTIN: Three letters.
JESPERSEN: Three letter answer?
SHORTZ: Um-hum.
JESPERSEN: Not - Nothing's coming to me with this one.
MARTIN: Really Will? Am I going to have to say this on the radio?
SHORTZ: Go for it.
MARTIN: Sex.
SHORTZ: Yeah, safe sex and sex symbol, good. How about shutter and skate? It's a term relating to a camera.
JESPERSEN: Shutter speed?
SHORTZ: Shutter speed and speed skate is it. And your last one is slide and stopper. Slide blank and blank stopper.
JESPERSEN: Slide and stopper. Slide...
MARTIN: Oh, man.
SHORTZ: Slide, stopper. Yeah, if you came back from vacation with a lot of pictures, you might put on a slide blank.
JESPERSEN: Slide show?
SHORTZ: Slide show and a showstopper is it.
MARTIN: Good. Hey, Damon, good job. We needed a lot of hints, but that was very well done.
JESPERSEN: Well, it could have been worse.
MARTIN: It could have been worse. And for playing our puzzle today, you'll get a WEEKEND EDITION lapel pin and puzzle books and games. You can read all about it at npr.org/puzzle. And before we let you go, Damon, what is your public radio station?
JESPERSEN: It's WBUR in Boston.
MARTIN: Great. WBUR Boston, Massachusetts. Damon Jespersen of Byfield, Massachusetts, thanks so much for playing the puzzle, Damon.
JESPERSEN: Thank you.
MARTIN: OK, Will. What's the challenge for next week?
SHORTZ: Yes, it's another puzzle I heard at the International Puzzle Party in Japan. And a Dutch puzzler gave it to me. The Roman numeral for 38 is XXXVIII. What is special or unusual about this Roman numeral that sets it apart from every other Roman numeral that can be written?
So again: 38 in Roman numeral is XXXVIII, what is special or unusual about this compared to all other Roman numerals?
MARTIN: You know what to do. When you've got the answer, go to our website, npr.org/puzzle and click on the Submit Your Answer link. Just one entry per person, please, our deadline is Thursday, August 22nd, 3 P.M. Eastern Time.
Please include a phone number where we can reach you at about that time. And if you're the winner we'll give you a call, and you will get to play on the air with the puzzle editor of The New York Times. And he is, of course, WEEKEND EDITION's puzzle-master, Will Shortz.
Thanks so much, Will.
SHORTZ: Thanks, Rachel.

In today's Daily News, Adam Rubin cites high-ranking, team personnel as saying John Ricco will ultimately emerge as the team's next GM.
Ricco has been Minaya's assistant GM since 2004.
I wrote the following yesterday, here, "If the Mets decide to let Minaya go, from what I understand, they'll be most inclined to make Ricco the new GM, but pair him up with a strong, heavy-weight talent person, like a Gerry Hunsicker, and do like the Yankees did in the 90s, who teamed up a young business-mind in Brian Cashman with a veteran talent-mind in Gene Michael."
In addition to Cashman, Rubin also points out how Rays GM Andrew Friedman, Red Sox GM Theo Epstein and Rangers GM Jon Daniels have similar academic, and not scouting, credentials, like Ricco.
…this is the new model, it seems… the game has changed, and the job of the GM is seemingly less eye-ball, talent evaluation, and more business, budgets, contracts, management, etc., though the talent end is still very much needed… and so, the new trend seems to be, to have a strong scouting and player development wing, which makes recommendations to the administrative GM, who then delegates and makes things happen… all while a separate person runs the off-field, stadium and marketing operations…
In his report, Rubin also looks at how much money the Mets will have to spend this off season, while detailing Ricco's experience in baseball.
Speaking of management…
According to the Buffalo News, Omar Minaya said yesterday that Adam Wogan would temporarily replace Tony Bernazard.

Muriel Bowser won the Democratic nomination for D.C. mayor Tuesday, defeating an incumbent wounded by a fundraising scandal.
The race was shortened by weather and roiled by an investigation into the fundraising of incumbent Mayor Vincent Gray's 2010 campaign.
Turnout Tuesday in many of the city's 143 precincts was light but steady.
With 127 of the city's 143 precincts reporting, Bowser had claimed almost 44 percent of the vote to Gray's 33 percent. Just before midnight in front of a subdued crowd, Gray conceded the election.
"The amount of work we've done over the past three and a-half years has been nothing short of phenomenal," Gray said.
Gray pointed to the unusually cold winter as hampering his campaign.
"One thing I have to say, I hope the city will change the date of the primary," Gray said. "This is really poor... having to run a campaign in winter. Trying to knock on doors in February is hard, it's complex and it's cold."
He still has nine more months in office as a lame-duck mayor.
In her victory speech, Bowser pledged to unite the party amid thunderous applause of her supporters.
"We know we need a fresh start," Bowser told a fired up crowd. "[Democrats] will unite. The Democrats of the nation's capital have always elected a Democratic mayor, a Democratic mayor, and in big numbers. And we're going to do it again in November... I accept your nomination!"
Bowser will face David Catania, a former Republican and now an Independent, in November's election.
"No one wanted to vote [Tuesday],'' Catania said. "It's a little bit disheartening to see the light turnout. It's a function of people losing faith in the system.''
Though eight candidates ran in the Democratic mayoral primary, the race quickly narrowed to two leading candidates: Gray and Bowser. Gray's support through the campaign stayed steady, but enthusiastic, even after federal prosecutors said he knew his campaign took funds raised illegally by D.C. businessman Jeffrey Thompson.
Gray, 71, has emphatically denied that he did anything wrong.
But support for Bowser, who has been advertising herself as a "fresh face" in local D.C. politics, spiked after Thompson was charged, and the last NBC4/Marist poll, one week before Election Day, showed the two in a statistical tie.
In other races, Brianne Nadeau defeated incumbent Jim Graham as the Democratic nominee in Ward 1 in District Council. Kenyan McDuffie easily won the Ward 5 nomination, Anita Bonds was re-elected as a nominee for council at large and Phil Mendelson won the nomination for council chair. In Ward 6, Charles Allen defeated Darrel Thompson.
Light Turnout
Bowser was the first mayoral candidate to cast her vote Tuesday, arriving at LaSalle Elementary School just after polls opened Tuesday morning.
Gray stopped by the northeast Washington school around the same time. He talked with voters and danced with volunteers.
Volunteers for his campaign stood outside the school chanting, "Four more years," while Bowser's camp yelled, "New mayor, fresh start."
Wearing a campaign shirt rolled halfway up his torso, Gray voted a few hours later at his polling location in Ward 7. The shirt was rolled up because candidates can't show campaign logos inside polling locations.
Other candidates ouvoting early Tuesday included Ward 2 Council member Jack Evans and Ward 6 Council member Tommy Wells, who were both trailing in the polls and looking for an upset. Restaurant owner and newcomer candidate Andy Shallal voted as his campaign workers worked the polls. Also on the ballot were candidates Vincent Orange, Reta Jo Lewis and Carlos Allen.
Residents Have Their Say
Aggie Wellington, 64, who has lived in the city for close to 40 years, said she is fairly happy with the direction of the city and voted for Gray.
"To be honest, I don't have any complaints,'' Wellington said at a polling station at William B. Powell Elementary School.
Wellington, an administrative assistant, said she wavered between candidates and would like to see a female mayor, but in the end voted for Gray.
"I don't mind giving him another chance,'' she said.
Zach Teutsch, 30, cast his vote for Wells. The federal worker said he voted for Gray in 2010 and was "disappointed not to be voting for him this time around.'' Teutsch said he believes Gray has "generally been a good mayor'' but is concerned that he has pledged to stay in office if indicted.
"I think it would be bad for the city,'' Teutsch said.
Five people involved with Gray's campaign four years ago have pleaded guilty to felonies. Three weeks ago, federal prosecutors said for the first time Gray knew about an illegal, $668,000 slush fund that helped him get elected in 2010.
All seven of his campaign opponents believe he knew about the shadow campaign

Just as it was for Anakin Skywalker and Padme Amidala, it appears that the Force was not with Hayden Christensen and Rachel Bilson.
The former "Star Wars" actor and "O.C." starlett have broken off their engagement, reports People.
"Yes, the engagement is off, " said Bilson's representative in an interview with the magazine. The rep declined to give further details of the split.
Several months ago there were reports that the couple, who met on the set of the 2007 sci-fi flick "Jumper," was taking a break.
The distance between the two actors was cited as a major reason for their split. Bilson is based in Los Angeles and Christensen resides in Canada.
Christensen will appears in the upcoming crime drama, "Takers," with rapper T.I. and Matt Dillon.

Implications of presidential election for health-care
The presidential election gives me an opportunity to comment about the future of our country, and it is my hope that you will read this even though it might differ from some Republican and from some Democratic perceptions. We might have different perceptions and perspectives, but I don't think we differ in our goals. Let me introduce myself and then, if you choose to read further, you will see what my solution to our society problems are.
When I was 15, I followed the case of Caryl Chessman in California. When he was executed in 1960, I vowed to never support the death penalty for anyone for any reason.
I have hated and abhorred racism and bigotry all of my life; when I was in college in Louisiana, the KKK threatened me for my acts of kindness toward African Americans. It was my father, who did not agree with me, who defended me. In 1964, I returned from three months in Africa and addressed 2,000 students in a Louisiana State student conference. I spoke about civil rights and racial equality. At the end of that address, not one person spoke to me. It was 30 years before I was ever asked to speak in Louisiana again.
In 1994, I was asked to speak to a pro-life rally – as I am against the death penalty, I am also against abortion, but I do not try to impose my belief upon others. At that rally, I asked all who favored abortion to raise their hands. None did. I then asked those who opposed abortion to raise their hands. All did. I then said, "We have settled the issue of abortion for ourselves; let's talk about something we may not have settled."
I then said the blood brother, the fellow kinsman, the fellow traveler with the abortionist is the racist, the bigot, the prejudiced person. I gave a one-hour speech on bigotry and have to date never been asked to speak in the state again.
I favor the Dream Act – I love children and would never want to dash any child's dreams — and I support a path to citizenship for all who live in America. Neither position is popular with conservatives, but I would not refuse a college education to any child, and we have millions of Hispanic residents in this country who are contributing to our lives every day.
I support health care for all citizens and residents (however they may be categorized by others) of this country. I am not sure yet how to pay for this, but as a physician, I have never refused care to anyone and could not do so now.
The above are positions of a classic social liberal, but I am also a classic fiscal conservative. I stand against the death penalty, abortion, racism, bigotry and isolationism, and I stand for health, nutrition, safety, protection and education for all children. My positions are internally and externally consistent with my belief in the dignity, value and personhood of all people. I stand for the freedom of all to exercise their choices, even when those choices radically differ from my own principles, beliefs and convictions. It is not an accident that I have founded and that I lead a multi-ethnic, multi-national, multi-cultural, multi-faith practice in both patients and providers. And it is no accident that that practice has eliminated ethnic disparities in the treatment of diabetes and hypertension (see www.setma.com).
On the SETMA website, you'll find a link to my address upon receiving the Distinguished Alumnus Award from my school of medicine in October. The greatness of this country did not come from conservatism or from liberalism; it came from the balance of the two. The entrepreneurism of conservatism and the humanitarianism of liberalism created the greatness of the United States. And while we often act as if these positions are mutually exclusive, it is also reality that many Democrat humanitarians are also entrepreneurs, and that many Republican entrepreneurs are also humanitarians. I am tired of two sides just yelling at one another. In the Bible, Proverbs advocates a balance between "mercy" (liberalism) and "truth" (conservatism). That is what is needed in America today.
The president won
Acting like a winner is conciliatory
The reason I place the burden for reconciliation among the citizens of this country at the feet of the president is that he is the ONLY one who can take the initiative to change the conversation and hopefully move this country back toward its historical, dynamic equilibrium between liberalism and conservatism. If all I wanted to do is shout at the darkness, I could. I chose to solve the problem, or at least to try and solve it. If the president takes the bold move I would recommend, he would win, even if Republicans rejected his overture and refused to work with him; and if they do work with him, then we all win. If the president wants to be a modern-day Lincoln, this is the only way for him to do so.
I don't ask that anyone agree with my premise that the president can be "great president" by acting courageously; however, I believe my observations about the lack of statesmanship by both presidential candidates is correct. I once had a pastor who was moving to a new church. He told one evening that he had been confronted about a difficult issue and that, "I had nothing to lose so I told them the truth." I asked, "If you had had something to lose, would you have lied?"
The president has won, as he told everyone the first month of his first term – when discussing compromise and bipartisanship, he rejected both, declaring, "I won." A statesman looks to the welfare of all, not to the election outcome. The president can die on the hill of his success, or he can rise to the summit as a statesman and boldly and courageously take steps to bridge the gap between liberalism and conservatism and solve our problems. He has nothing to lose, so he can tell the truth.
Response to an academic
Shortly after the election, I wrote an academic who had a negative response to my assessment of the President's conduct in the recent election. I said: "Thank you for responding. I had hoped you would." The academic was interested in my opinion of the Accountable Care Act. I said:
1. I have always supported the ACA. I have misgivings about the financing of it but not because of concern for my own economic interest. My practice (www.setma.com) is debt free, as I am personally. I don't need much to fund my lifestyle other than I wish to support my eight grandchildren's college careers. Also, my wife and I have endowed a Distinguished Professorship in Patient Centered Medical Home at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio, a Distinguished Lecture Series in patient centered medical home and a primary care institute there. All are interdepartmental and interdisciplinary programs. We would like to continue to support the transformation of health care in my practice and in my school of medicine. In that we are not independently wealthy, we must work and earn income.
2. I subscribe to and promote Hubert Humphrey's "Moral Test" for a government, which he enunciated in November 1977. By the way, I voted for him for president. He said, "The moral test of government is how it treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the aged; and those in the shadows of life, the sick, the needy and the handicapped."
3. I subscribe to and promote IHI's Triple Aim. I also was disappointed that Don Berwick could not get confirmed as the head of CMS.
4. The SETMA Foundation has received $2 million over the past four year from the partners of SETMA with which we pay for the care of our patients who cannot afford it. None of that money can profit SETMA. An uninsured patient who was admitted to our service (we take care of 25 percent of all indigents and uninsured patients admitted to the hospital) needs a gastric bypass. She has no money, no insurance and no hope. We are negotiating a price (probably $24,000 global cost) and we (SETMA and SETMA's partners) will pay it.
5. CMS commissioned a study of 623 medical practices in January 2011. Half were medical home; half were not. SETMA's result was that our global cost for Medicare Fee-for-Service beneficiaries was 37.4 percent below the practice benchmarked against us.
I don't know if any good will come from my proposal, but I am willing to risk others' objection in order to "light a candle" rather than cursing the darkness. If I fail, then I will have failed trying valiantly.
I repeat my affirmation that the genius of America has always been a balance between conservatism and liberalism. That balance should be a dynamic tension – dynamic because it is active and establish by dialogue rather then two simultaneous monologues and a tension because it respects the rights of both "sides" to hold their beliefs and to have those beliefs respected even though they are not embraced. The fault for the lack of such a dialogue is both Democrat and Republican, but it is principally the president's. It is the president's job to be led by his personal convictions and then to form a consensus with those who agree with him and with those who disagree with him.
Modest proposal for a president
My proposal that President Barack Obama invite Gov. Mitt Romney into his cabinet and to co-author a solution to our fiscal crisis has been echoed by many. In his closing paragraph of his piece titled, "2012 Election: How to Rebuild Trust and Infrastructure," CNN commentator, Fareed Zakaria said, "Is there a special tactic that might help bring Republicans along? Well, in his gracious speech on Wednesday morning after his re-election, Obama noted that he hoped to talk to Romney about ways they might work together. Why not ask Romney if he would be willing to spearhead this project? It would be an act of bipartisanship in the service of a national interest — and it might just begin to change the tenor of Washington for the next four years."
I thought this was interesting because it is exactly what I proposed the day before. I don't think the president will ask and I think if he does Romney will not accept because neither are statesmen but appear to be base politicians, more focused on personal advancement than the good of America.
I couched my proposal in terms of the president acting presidential and statesman-like with an opening, sincere gambit of humility and contrition. Again, unlikely to be done but powerful if it were. The amazing thing to me is greatness is in the hands of the president, and healing for this nation is there, also. Someone has to take the first step. Humility is so seldom seen in American political and public life, but when it is, it is seductive and attractive.
A Democrat legislator offered to get my original article to the president, and I said, "Thank you, sir. As you know, I am not a supporter of the president, but for the sake of America, I want him to be a great president. Our land needs to be healed and not further divided. The president has nothing to lose except his legacy. That legacy can be great, but only if he takes steps to bring people together. That will not be done by his demanding that others always see things his way. Nor will it be done by his being required to always accept someone else's way. It will be done by mutual respect and the crafting of a 'dynamic' solution that does not require the resolution of the 'tension' or of the 'dynamic tension.'"
I wish the president well, and I hope he will become a statesman instead of just a politician. We have precious few statesmen and too many politicians. I hope he will at least listen and consider the path I have recommended. For the dyed-in-the-wool Democratic president to reach out to the dyed-in-the-wool Republican challenger is counterintuitive, but it is also the greatest hope we have as a nation in the short and long run.

On mountains, slides, rock climbs, gardens, sand pits, orchards, climbing walls, streams, caves, labyrinths, and other natural features that help children discover and learn about nature while they play.
If you've ever climbed trees, made forts, climbed rocks, made mud pies, dammed up water, dug in sand, jumped in leaves, or had fun outside in other, similar ways, you've experienced natural play.
All 6,000 children we've interviewed want these very same, natural play opportunities. Offer them a choice, and every time they'll choose Natural Playgrounds over equipment playgrounds (see "a child's perspective").
This is very interesting, because the research says: Natural Play contributes to the overall physical, cognitive, and emotional development of children, helps them score higher on tests for concentration and self-discipline, helps them experience more diverse play, and helps them exhibit less aggressive behavior, strive toward advanced motor fitness, and become healthier.
Natural Playgrounds offer financial benefits, as well. They're less expensive than equipment, they aren't replaced when safety regulations change, they lower playground injuries (which cost the US over $13 billion every year), they offer higher play value at lower cost, they're part of the greening movement that reduces costly environmental impacts while improving wildlife habitats and beautifying surroundings, and because they use indigenous plants and local materials, they have a very low carbon footprint!
No wonder there's a worldwide movement to "leave no child inside."
At The Natural Playgrounds Company®, our mission is to ensure that children have wonderful places to go outside where they can both play and learn.

Just back from Venice Carnival 2014. Although I did spend plenty of time in the kitchen making Carnival treats and on cicchetti crawls with my friend Monica of Cook in Venice, I spent the rest of the time wandering the city soaking up the festive atmosphere. During Carnival the entire city of Venice becomes a stage and all the players are ready to pose for the camera. Even when I was in mask and costume myself, I couldn't stop taking photos of the variety of costumes.
There are three categories of costumes that make up Carnival of Venice: extravagent and elite, fun and silly, and then the adorable children. Many costumes spill over into two and even all three categories.
The elite group that posture and pose on the stage that is Venice are those who usually work for the costume ateliers or have spent hundreds of euros on their costumes at the ateliers or, even more impressive, hundreds of hours making them. They are both the BIG costumes with full masks, veils and huge headpieces and the period costumes - wigs, corsets, bustles, and big hoop skirts included. The lush fabric, amount of material, layers, detail and, at times, eccentricity of these costumes; all of it mesmerizes me. It's impossible not to take their photos. I especially love, or should I say find most amusing, the maskless and handsome men in period pieces who love to pose with adoring women. Or is there any other time, nowadays, when a woman would purposely make her hips wider than two doors that opened onto a grand Venetian ballroom?!
The group that gets big creativity points are those that dress just for the fun of it, especially the groups dressed thematically. From teenagers to grandparents, they symbolize the spirit of Carnival and are definitely the most fun to watch. I saw "Despicable Me" minions, Rubik's cubes, SpongeBob, Darth Vader and the Sith, a new doge in Venice, the Cowardly Lion, Maleficent and so much more.
Follow the trail of confetti and silly string and you'll find the children. The costumed children bring out the coos and, "how cuuuuute" comments of all onlookers, but beware. They are always armed with bags of confetti and/or cans of silly string. No matter how cute or little, they know how to use them.
I've put together a slideshow below of my photos of costume favorites from Venice's Carnival 2014.
Next year's Carnival in Venice is from January 31 to February 17, 2015. Monica and I had so much fun together that we are already planning our own thematic costumes for next year. We're also talking about having those of you at Carnival in Venice join us for a costumed-cicchetti crawl or Frittelle party. Who'd like to go?
Which costume(s) did you like best? If you were to go to Carnival, which type of costume would you choose?

Choosing the ideal saddle girth
The girth is quite an important part of a horse's saddlery, which we owe a lot to. Without a girth, we would presumably have to ride everywhere bareback, where the majority of us would need to develop an almost superhuman degree of balance to cope with the implications of that! Think about the implications of the girth on the horse: it is a small but very important item of saddlery that can cause all sorts of discomfort if fitted incorrectly. As with most things in the equine world, there is a vast number of girth available on the market, but there is a great deal of considerations to be made before launching into an impulsive purchase.
Firstly, the size of your girth will be your primary concern. The best way to find your horse's girth size is to use either his current girth, or borrow a girth which fits well, and measure that. Of course, if his current girth is too big or small, you may add or subtract an inch or two depending. You can also measure the distance around your horse from the middle girth straps, but this may not be as accurate as you might hope. Girth extenders are a possibility if you are already lumbered with a too-short girth, but they can look untidy so it is best to invest in something which does fit.
As with any piece of saddlery, the quality of the material you choose for your girth will affect the welfare and comfort of your horse. Leather will make for a good quality durable product, however it has been known to rub in the elbow crevices of some horses. If this happens, it may be due to the stiffness of the leather, which is a common problem with new girths. Whilst your horse is wearing it in, it will mold to him better, but try to soften the leather up with a specialist leather cream. Ask your saddlery retailer for their recommended brand, as a good quality leather cream will not only keep the girth in good condition, but should prevent it from rubbing your horse. Obviously, if your horse continues to rub, then it may not be appropriate to persist. Consider a neoprene covered girth; These are specifically designed with comfort in mind. They can cause heating under the girth area, but do reduce the pressure points that can happen with a cheap webbing girth. Webbing girths are great for your pocket, they are very reasonably priced, but do believe that your horse is comfortable. Also remember to check for any signs of wear, as these girths can be less durable over time than other materials, and a snapped girth could result in an injury.
The style of girth you choose for your horse, like many saddlery accessories, will often depend on your discipline. For example, if you showjump or event, a stud guard will be essential, as will an overgirth for the latter. For the serious dressage rider, a specialist dressage girth would be ideal, to free up the movement of the elbow and maximize performance. Despite the confusing array of styles available, the main principle to remember is: the greater the surface area of the girth, the more the pressure will be spread out, increasing the horse's comfort. A girth which is contoured around the elbow, whilst widening between the forelegs would be ideal for everyday purposes.
Overall, you must have a very clear idea of what works for your horse, and tailor the girthing process to meet his needs. Do not forget about saddlery accessories such as girth sleeves and elasticated girth straps to adjust the fit and comfort that a girth can provide. Finally, ensure you girth your horse up steadily and gently to avoid any issues developing around the girthing procedure. Once you're pleased with your tack, you and your horse will be ready to enjoy a good ride- whatever it is that you do together.

Empowered Patient, a regular feature from CNN Medical News correspondent Elizabeth Cohen, helps put you in the driver's seat when it comes to health care.
Keeping personal health info in your wallet can make paramedics' job much easier in an emergency.
ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) -- For 33 years, the routine in the emergency room was the same.
Patients would come in unconscious and unaccompanied.
Donna Mason and her fellow ER nurses would look in their wallets, hoping for information -- something that would tell them what medications they were taking, what health conditions they had, or at the very least a phone number for next of kin.
No information often meant the person suffered.
She remembers patients who had contact lenses, but because no one at the hospital knew, the contacts stayed on for days and the patients ended up with scratched corneas. She remembers a patient who was given blood thinners in the ER. No one knew he was already taking Vitamin K, which can have terrible interactions with blood thinners. The patient ended up in the intensive care unit.
"We don't have a magic wand. We can't see everything," says Mason, the immediate past president of the Emergency Nurses Association. "When we do have the right information, it saves lives. I've seen it happen over and over again."
So what information should you carry with you?
Mason and the National Institute on Aging recommend:
• Name
• A list of your medical problems
• A list of your medications (including herbs and supplements)
• Name and phone number of your doctor
• Name and phone number of family or close friends
• Whether you wear contact lenses
How would an ER find it?
You need to make it easy for ER staff to find your information. Mason jokes that short of tattooing it on your forehead, the best approach is to write your health information on a card you keep right behind your driver's license in your wallet.
Why near your driver's license? "When the paramedics arrive to help you, they grab a wallet or a purse so they'll know who you are," she says. "They do it consistently." Mason says when patients arrive in the emergency room, nurses routinely look for their driver's license to locate next of kin.
She says many emergency rooms have cards where you can fill in the blanks with your health information.
How about when it's not an emergency?
Keeping a personal health record is important even when you're not in an emergency situation, according to the American Health Information Management Association.
The group recommends keeping a more detailed personal health record that would include all the information you'd need in an emergency plus more, such as dates of past surgeries, results of diagnostic tests and clinical notes from doctors' visits.
This information can come in handy when you visit a doctor who may not be aware of tests performed and diagnoses made by other doctors. "Most of the time we don't always remember everything we need to tell our doctor," says Jill Burrington-Brown, spokesperson for AHIMA. "This way, you can just hand them this information."
Several organizations offer ways to organize and store a personal health record either on paper or on the Web. Click here for AHIMA's free forms you can print and fill out.
The personal health record of the future
Burrington-Brown carries her personal health record on a USB flash drive, hoping that in the future emergency departments will learn to look there for information. Mason says in her dream world, everyone would have the information embedded in a bar code on his or her driver's license, and the emergency departments would have a bar code reader.
But in the meantime, a simple piece of paper in your wallet might be the difference between life and death. E-mail to a friend

We wear short shorts- in the summer, in the winter, with tights, and with boots.. We wear them embellished with studs, ripped and destroyed, acid-washed, and bleached just the right amount. Denim shorts have been around, well, for a long time, and have evolved with us and because of us. They've gone from high-wasted, to low-cut, and back to high-wasted. Different washes and ways to destroy these shorts while still being very wearable have been created to make jean shorts a staple in fashion. We don't expect everyone to understand the "destroyed phenomenon", and it's definitely hard to explain why we love to wear only the most beat-up and washed-out looking denim to our elders. But, when worn with the right outfit, a pair of these shorts can look edgy and fashionable. They can create that perfect rocker look, indy vibe, or 70's style.
My go to denim brand is hands down the Australian rebells One Teaspoon. Get yourself a great pair, it's a must.

The mental health of Fort Hood gunman Spc. Ivan Lopez, who killed three fellow soldiers and wounded 16 before killing himself, was not the main factor in his deadly shooting rampage Wednesday, military officials said Friday, although Lopez's family has said he "must not have been in his right mind."
"His underlying medical conditions are not a direct precipitating factor. We believe that the immediate precipitating factor was more likely an escalating argument in his unit area," Lt. Gen. Mark Milley, the commanding general at Fort Hood, said at a news conference Friday afternoon.
He said investigators were still examining Lopez's combat experience but have so far uncovered no specific traumatic events, wounds in action, contact with the enemy or other events.
According to the father of one of the injured soldiers, Army Sgt. Jonathan Westbrook, Lopez opened fire after he tried to pick up a leave form and was told to come back later. NBC News reported that Theodis Westbrook, the victim's father, said his son told him that the gunman was "told to come back the next day to pick it up" and then left, returned with a gun and opened fire.
Lopez's father has said his son "must not have been in his right mind" and that a number of factors could have led to deadly mass shooting at the Army post Wednesday.
Ivan Lopez Sr., in a statement from his native Puerto Rico, said his son was a calm family man and good son who defended his nation. The family added that Lopez "was under medical treatment and the passing of his mother, his grandfather and the recent changes when transferring to the base surely affected his existing condition."
The gunman's family released the following statement. Below is a translation of the original:
Facing the tragedy that occurred on April 2 in Fort Hood, TX, the family of the Puerto Rican soldier Iván López is concerned and asks for prayers for those affected and deceased by the unfortunate incidents. Iván López, father of the soldier, is still in shock and described his son as a calm family man, a young worker who always looked out for the well-being of his home and a good son.
"This situation has caused great pain. I ask for prayers for the affected families, even more so when there is still an ongoing investigation. My son must not have been in his right mind, he wasn't like that," said Iván López, Sr.
As an active soldier he defended the nation and received medals. He also worked honorably as a policeman on the island. According to his father, the soldier was under medical treatment and the passing of his mother, his grandfather and the recent changes when transferring to the base surely affected his existing condition because of his experiences as a soldier. No more comments shall be made during the investigation conducted by authorities.
-López Family
Army CID Gives Updates on Shooting Investigation
Chris Grey, the spokesperson for the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command, said Friday that numerous reports of gunfire from several locations led to the confusion and chaos of two gunmen being reported on the post.
Army officials said more than 150 investigators from a variety of military, federal and state agencies are involved in the investigation that encompasses a two-block area. The crime scene includes the interior of three buildings and three outside locations.
Grey said the shooting most likely began following a verbal altercation with soldiers from Lopez's unit and that after the shooting began, Lopez traveled to two other locations and continued firing.
As Lopez approached an MP, Grey said there was a verbal exchange and that the MP fired one round toward Lopez. Officials do not believe this round hit Lopez, though that will ultimately be confirmed by the medical examiner. After the MP fired, Lopez pulled out his weapon, pointed it toward his head and fired a single round, officials said.
Army investigators believe Lopez acted alone and have found no evidence of any link to any domestic or international terrorist or extremist group.
Six Remain Hospitalized; Discharged Survivors Return to Duty
Ten of the 16 injured have been treated and released from the hospital and are back on duty, Milley said Friday. Of the remaining six, three are being treated at Darnall Army Medical Center at Fort Hood and three in fair condition are being treated at Baylor Scott & White in Temple.
A memorial service will be held Wednesday, April 9. The time for the memorial has not yet been determined and further details are to come.

(CNN) -- China's historic spacecraft docking mission this month will involve a female astronaut, state-run Xinhua reported.
Either Liu Yang or Wang Yaping -- selected among China's first batch of women astronauts -- will be among the three-person crew to launch aboard the Shenzhou-9, according to Xinhua.
If all goes well with the launch, which is planned for mid-June, the Shenzhou-9 will dock with China's orbiting space laboratory, making the nation the third after the United States and Russia to complete a manned space docking.
As a precaution in case of an emergency, one of the crewmembers will not board the lab, a spokesperson for the space program said in February.
China has big aspirations for its space program with hopes to build a space station like the International Space Station and to conduct a manned mission to the moon.
China rockets forward in race to moon
On Saturday the Shenzhou-9 and its carrier rocket, the Long March-2F, were moved to a launch platform in northwest China's Gansu province to allow scientists to conduct tests before the launch, according to Xinhua.
The Tiangong-1 space lab module was launched into space in September, and two months later it successfully completed China's first space docking with an unmanned spacecraft, Shenzhou-8, according to Xinhua.
The efforts demonstrate "China's continued commitment to becoming a first-class space power with an independent space capability," Taylor Fravel, associate professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said this year.
"This is a very exclusive club."
On Thursday in Beijing, the China National Space Administration and the Pakistan Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission signed a space cooperation plan through 2020, state-run China Daily reported. The agreement was signed, while Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari was visiting for the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Summit.
China's efforts come as the United States refocuses its space program toward deep space exploration, and private companies like SpaceX make strides toward the commercialization of spaceflight.
Last month SpaceX's unmanned Dragon capsule completed the first ever commercial mission to the International Space Station.

Federal agriculture specialists say they found larvae of a destructive insect infesting a rice shipment at the Port of Baltimore.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection said Wednesday that the 43,000 pound shipment of rice from Pakistan was infested with Khapra beetle larvae. Authorities say only dead larvae were found.
Customs and Border Protection issued an emergency action notice to the importer ordering that the shipment be destroyed or re-exported.
Officials say the importer chose to re-export the 1,066-carton shipment.
Customs and Border Protection officials say the Khapra beetle is one of the world's most destructive insect pests of grains, cereals and stored foods.

Introducing the KLX Feel-N-Reel Rods, A first-in-industry hybrid blank rod
How did I lose that fish? Kistler has the answer, introducing the first-in-industry S2 Hybrid Blank Technology. Developed with North Fork Composites, the antonymous S2 material is central to the creation of our new 50/50 fishing rod blank. Blending the S2 hybrid material with T800 high modulus graphite yields a blank that offers the benefits of graphite and the advantages of fiberglass in a rod that will catch more fish.
- S2 Hybrid Blank Technology
- Fuji blank exposed reel seat
- Kigan Zero tangle stainless steel with MACRO sized Coalite rings
- Includes One Year VIP Protection Plan Warranty
- Handmade in the U.S.A. by the Kistler Team
- EVERY Kistler Rod is "Quality Certified" by our process of thoroughly testing and hand inspecting from our expert team in Magnolia, Texas, USA.
