This week is the last week my PSY102 students are required to do a web assignment. The challenge after today's post will to keep things up over the summer. I'm only teaching one class this summer, so I'll have plenty of free time. But that free time is already scheduled with tasks around the house that have been ignored all academic year. Maybe if I work the web assignment into my summer course, that will keep me motivated for those six weeks. We'll see how I do.
This was a bumper-crop week for links. I suspect it has something to do with end-of-semester procrastination for those of us in the final weeks of the semester, or suddenly found free time for those who just finished up. Anyway, here are five links I narrowed down to:
Inside Higher Ed (Mitch Smith) – April 23, 2012
Your first response to this question is likely: Never! However, I would argue that you first need to define what is meant by porn. Is porn simply any sexually explicit material? A precise definition of explicit would probably be helpful, too. Even United States Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart couldn't clearly define pornography and stated: "But I know it when I see it."
In this article, Mitch Smith describes recent cases at California State University at Fresno and Appalachian State College where professors were criticized about showing videos that some considered pornographic. One instance included a human sexuality class; the other a introductory sociology course. In the Fresno State case, the professor was defended by her administration. In the Appalachian State case, the professor was placed on suspension (although, that particular case contained complaints beyond the film).
These cases are particular interest to me, because, as an instructor of a human sexuality course, I do give serious consideration before presenting material to my students. Thankfully, I've never had a student complain about material in my course being inappropriate. But, given these instances, I'm thinking I need to add a "Warning: this course contains material of a sexual nature that may be offensive to some" statement to my syllabus. (I actually had to do that for my sexuality research in graduate school.)
ScienceBlogs: Uncertain Principles (Chad Orzel) – April 23, 2012
In this post, Chad Orzel is commenting on a different blog post by Athene Donald on a report out of Scotland on women in the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) disciplines. The point being made by both bloggers is that children's definitions of what is gender appropriate begin well before middle school – when we see the typical disengagement of girls from science and math.
Psychology Today: Ambigamy (Jeremy Sherman) – April 24, 2012
First off, I bet you're also singing the Bobby McFerrin song. If you weren't already, I bet you are now.
In this post, Jeremy Sherman discusses Nobel Prize-winning psychologist and economist Daniel Kahneman's insights on thinking and what happens when we focus on our problems. Kahneman's work argues that spending a lot of time focusing on negative thoughts and events just leads us to feeling even worse about ourselves.
Psychology Today: Choke (Sian Beilock, Ph.D.) – April 25, 2012
In this post, Sian Beilock talks about a common fear: the fear of public speaking. And it is common. I don't think I can even count the number of times I've had students say they hate public speaking and giving presentations. My advice to them is the same as Dr. Beilock's: practice!
I've stated before that I'm a bit of an introvert, and not a fan of new social settings. However, public speaking doesn't (and really never did) get to me. Why? I've been doing it in some form since elementary school. Most of it prior to college was on the stage in various theater productions. But since my undergraduate days, most of it has been at the front of a classroom giving a lecture or on stage giving out awards.
The Chronicle of Higher Education: HeadCount (Joanna Chau) – April 25, 2012
I'm the first person in my immediate family to earn a Ph.D., but I am not the first person in my family (immediate or extended) to go to college or earn a college degree. I never realized how much of the process and culture of college I took for granted until I started teaching at American International. We have a high percentage of first-generation college students. For many of my students, they may even be the first in their family to earn a high school diploma. There are a lot of obstacles for the first-generation college student, and as this link discusses, understanding the true costs and how financial aid works is one of the biggest.

A.CHAL Releases "To The Light," His First New Track In Nine Months
Last June, A.CHAL released his debut project Welcome to GAZI before immediately going dark, not releasing any new material other than the "Round Whippin" video.
Well after sending some teasers on social media, A.CHAL has dropped his first song of 2017. The track is called "To The Light" and is produced by Phil Good Music and A.Chal himself.
Over the moody production, CHAL sings lines like:
"Eyes bloodshed, marijuana. Staring at the eyes of my Karma. I'm bumping Michael Jackson and Nirvana. I'm tryna find my way to Madonna."
So does this mean a new album is coming soon? Sure seems like it. Give "To The Light" a listen underneath, and let us know if you're feeling it.

One of the reason why people listen to music is to relax their mind and body. People in the music business hear hype all of the time, and for the most part are numb to it. Hype is good to use with the general public on things like posters (they often believe it), but your press kit reader is more sophisticated and will see it as cheap theatrics.
This development is significant particularly because cassettes, which are inexpensive and portable, gave control over production to local artists, or at least to agencies that were closer to the artists than a national radio company or a European-based recording company.
Classical music encompasses instrumental and vocal music written by trained composers, expressing cultivated artistic and intellectual values, as opposed to music of an essentially commercial nature (popular) or music that develops anonymously and is transmitted aurally (folk).
Early American performers and composers lacked the main sources of patronage that supported the European tradition of art music, such as the aristocracy and the Catholic church, and depended on entrepreneurs willing to market classical music to the public.
Other composers like the cosmopolitan virtuoso Anton Rubinstein or Peter Tchaikovsky, who received his professional training in Russia at the Petersburg conservatory founded in 1862, had fewer reservations about being inspired by the West, though Tchaikovsky, too, wrote genuine Russian music.

SAVE MONEY When You Order This Super COMBO!
Add new skills and double their reading vocabulary.
2009 AEP Award Winner! PCI Reading Program Takes It to the Next Level.
Word Recognition Through Visual Discrimination and Phonetic Patterns in Inflectional Endings
Enlarged Image PCI Reading Program Levels 1 2 3 Chart Product Research Summary Download Free: BRIGANCE PCI Reading Program Placement Guide
TARGET GROUP: Nonreaders age 5 to Adult
The PCI Reading Program is a scientifically research-based curriculum created specifically to teach students with developmental disabilities, autism, and significant learning disabilities to read. The reading program now comes in convenient, discounted Curriculum Sets with all the tools to turn nonreaders into successful readers.
PCI Reading Program Level 2 Print
The PCI Reading Program Level 2 Print program follows a five-step lesson cycle based on visual discrimination and is designed to teach students to automatically recognize and correctly pronounce one word at a time. In Level 1 as each new word is learned, previous words are continually reviewed, which promotes both short- and long-term retention. The program is designed for nonreaders age 5 to adult, the activities and books feature realistic illustrations, and the story lines encompass important life skills and lessons. Level 2 teaches additional sight words and "real-world" nouns and verbs, advancing students from a 1.0 reading level to a 2.0-2.5 reading level. While Level 2's focus is still on teaching words through visual discrimination, it also introduces students to wrapped text, common inflectional endings, such as -s, -ing, and -ed, and compound words.
PCI Reading Program Level 2 Software
The PCI Reading Program Level 2 software program is a computer presentation of the print program and is accessible for students who are single-switch and scan, touch screen, or mouse users. The interactive lessons feature errorless teaching. Incorrect answers are removed from the screen, and the student is prompted to make another selection. The software maintains the content and approach from the print version, and can be used alone or in conjunction with the print materials. The activities and lessons in PCI Reading Program Level 2 software reflect an ocean resort theme. The reward activities include body boarding, riding a watercraft, fishing, whale watching, and more. Both software programs include a teenage Reading Buddy to help guide the student through the activities, offering assistance and encouragement.
Version 1.0 ©2010 Recommended System Requirements:
Audio Cards
The words in Level 1 and Level 2 help students build fluency as they practice hearing and reading the words. Each level contains 140 cards. Used with a Califone CardMaster, the audio cards provide teachers with a hands-on auditory and visual practice center that can be used independently.
Reproducible Books
The 14 Level 2 books are now available in reproducible format. The reproducible books are identical to the program books, except they are in black and white. Use the books in the classroom or as reading reinforcement activities to send home.
Comprehension Activities Binders
Extend and assess comprehension on the program's books with these fully scripted lessons and reproducible activities. For each book in the core program, these binders provide a reading comprehension lesson with activities for both pre- and post-reading. Comprehension lessons focus on standards-based literacy skills and strategies. Offers post-reading comprehension questions for each page in the books that reinforce these skills and strategies. Four reproducible activities are provided for each book along with a reproducible assessment. Progress monitoring checklists are included. Level 2 Comprehension Activities binder (100 pp.) covers all 14 Level Two books. In addition to reviewing the skills taught in Level 1, new skills such as summarization, cause and effect, and compare/contrast are introduced.

On February 19, 2019, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy signed a bill expanding the state's paid family leave and short-term disability laws. Assembly Bill 3987 and Senate Bill 844 apply to the New Jersey Family Leave Insurance (NJFLI) benefit, allowing NJ employees time to bond with a newborn or care for a sick family member.
The bills provide for extra protection under the New Jersey Family Leave Act (NJFLA) which provides for job protection.
The bills also expand the temporary disability insurance law (NJTDI), which provides for wage continuation in certain situations when an employee is unable to work due to a medical condition.

Changing Lanes (2002)
Directed by: Roger Michell
Starring: Ben Affleck, Kim Staunton, Samuel L. Jackson, Toni Collette
Plot hole: When Ben Affleck is meeting with the man who changes Samuel Jackson's credit record, the man remarks that Samuel Jackson should not have told Ben Affleck that he was in insurance. Samuel Jackson never told Ben Affleck that he was in insurance.
Continuity mistake: In the daytime restaurant scene between Ben Affleck and his wife, the wife tells Ben Affleck that they are going to dinner that evening with two friends, one of whom is Carl and other a woman. However, later that evening the dinner date is with the wife's parents. The wife's father's name is Steve, not Carl. (00:58:15)
Factual error: When Sam Jackson removes the lug nuts from Ben Affleck's Mercedes, Ben's character continues to drive before the wheel comes off. All Mercedes models use wheel lug bolts and once removed, the wheel immediately falls of the hub. (01:00:15)
Trivia: I was delighted to notice that William Hurt's character works in a T.V. station - you will see that during one of his phone conversations with Samuel Jackson. Anyone remember Broadcast News?Tiffany Fife
Doyle Gipson: Money. You... you think I want money? What I want is my morning back. I need you to give my time back to me. Can you give me back my time? Can you give my time back to me? Huh? Can you?

Lincoln is proud to have received recognition from the state in regards to our special education and related services:
The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) requires all states to make annual determinations on the performance of each Local Education Agency (LEA) with regard to the provision of special education and related services. These determinations are based on indicators identified by the federal government and delineated in the State Performance Plan (SPP).
LEAs receive a determination in each of the indicator categories and an overall determination in one of four categories: Meets Requirements, Needs Assistance, Needs Intervention, or Needs Substantial Intervention. The attached LEA Determination letter specifies your LEA's designation and any required follow up activities as a result of the designation.
The 2017-2018 school year criteria for local determinations are defined on the ISBE website at: https://www.isbe.net/Pages/Special-Education-LEA-Determinations.aspx.

Each week kiwileaguecentral.com will rank the top 10 Kiwis in the NRL right now, with a rolling Power Rankings system. Here's how things sit after Round 17. (Main photo: Shaun Johnson dives over for a try against the Titans in Rd 17. Credit: photosport.nz).
10. Martin Taupau (new entry this week)
Storms back into the top 10 after a strong showing against the Dragons, breaking through for 195 metres. Has a whole lot more in him yet if he can find top form.
9. Manu Ma'u (-3 from 6th)
Had a really quiet day at the office despite playing 67 minutes. Only managed nine carries and had missed five tackles.
8. Ben Matulino (=)
Typically reliable for the Warriors against the Titans. Played an hour of the match with 154 metres and 36 tackles.
7. Bodene Thompson (+2 from 9th)
An immense presence on the right edge, getting involved at every opportunity to run for 161 metres while making 46 tackles. Scored a very good try off a great line late in the game.
@FOXNRL Bodene Thompson emulating team mate Johnson's run for a solo try. Becoming the most under-rated player in the game. #NRL360
— Michael Minty (@MichaelMinty63) July 5, 2016
6. Kevin Proctor (-1 from 5th)
A solid showing featuring over 100 run metres, 34 tackles and a line break. Scored his fourth try of the year as well.
5. Shaun Johnson (+2 from 7th)
It was vintage Shaun Johnson once again on the weekend. The star No.7 made two line breaks, and scored a spectacular try which lifted the Warriors late in the match.
Pure magic by @Shaun_Johnson90!#NRLWarriorsTitans#NRL pic.twitter.com/hF3mEKQwi9
— NRL (@NRL) July 2, 2016
4. Simon Mannering (=)
Shifted to the edge for game No.250 and assumed the captaincy with Ryan Hoffman out. Made 38 tackles without a miss, but we expect that from this guy; it's just what he does.
3. Tohu Harris (-1 from 2nd)
Only managed 47 minutes and as a result his numbers were well done on his 2016 standards.
2. Jesse Bromwich (+1 from 3rd)
One of his better performances this year, against the representative-laden Brisbane pack. Ran for 206 metres, broke the line and threatened with his pre-contact footwork.
1. Jason Taumalolo (=)
Bullied South Sydney into submission with 15 carries for 155 metres. Did his Dally M Medal chances no harm with another strong showing.
Dropping out this week: Jordan Rapana
Coming in this week: Martin Taupau
Knocking on the door of the top 10: Issac Luke, Tuimoala Lolohea, Jordan Rapana.

It appears that British grime star Lethal Bizzle's unlikely friendship with acting veteran Dame Judi Dench is going from strength to strength, with the 32-year-old musician enlisting the James Bond star to help promote his new fragrance range.
In a short clip posted to Bizzle's Instagram page, the Victoria & Abdul actress is seen wearing a white 'Dench' cap from his clothing line while holding a black perfume bottle in her hand. " Use Dench, makes sense," she says before the camera pans over to Bizzle, real name Maxwell Owusu Ansah. Unable to top her delivery, he simply replies:"What she said."
His timeline was soon awash with fans who praised him for pulling off the ultimate endorsement, with one of his 318k followers, writing: "No you didn't hats off to u my man you're killing it".
Another person said: "Can't beat a bit of Judy in ya dench @lethal #judydench" and third wrote: "Ahhh this is timeless stay Dench has perfect meaning now."
The pair shot the impromptu promo while taking a break from their shoot with online entertainment magazine LADBible. They joined forces for an unusual musical collaboration, which saw Dench show off her rapping skills.
Bizzle and his cousin, former Arsenal star Emmanuel Frimpong, coined the term in 2010 when celebrating their goals while competing against each other playing Fifa. He later defined the word that "can be used when complimenting something. For example, 'That car is dench!' Or, 'Oi look at that girl, she's dench!'"
In 2012, 82-year-old Dench told the Radio 1 DJ Greg James that she was thrilled at the use of her surname as an adjective and printed on T-shirts and caps.
London-born Bizzle said he initially worried she was going to "slag me off" and was pleased she instead endorsed his brand. "I pulled over to the side of the road when she came on the radio and she really smashed it," he told The Sun. "When she started saying in her posh voice that her grandchildren wore T-shirts saying 'Dengchang' on them it had me in stitches."

BY DONNA MINKOWITZ | "Silence really does equal death," said Paul Schindler, Gay City News' editor-in-chief, to several hundred people gathered to build community under the rosy pink, yellow, and blue lights and romantic cherub paintings of Brooklyn's Grand Prospect Hall on March 30.
The occasion was Gay City News' 2017 Impact Awards, where queer and trans activists came dressed to the nines to honor artists, radicals, bar owners, and a bishop.
The event, which donated a portion of proceeds to the Hetrick-Martin Institute, was organized to recognize the advocates and fighters, queer, trans, cis, and straight, who have built and continue to build this community by creating healthcare spaces, battling in the courts and the streets, writing poems, and pestering officials.
A large contingent from the Bronx Academy of Arts and Dance (BAAD!), the queer-, female-, and people of color-focused arts space in the East Bronx, came to honor writer Charles Rice-González, its co-founder. Rice-González, whose 2011 novel "Chulito" won an award from the American Library Association, told the crowd, "I'm proud to be black, I'm proud to be Latino! I'm proud to be from the Bronx, I'm proud to be working class!" Looking resplendent in a salmon-colored shirt and beautifully fitted black suit, he was easily the best-dressed man in the entire Grand Prospect.
Rice-González told Gay City News that BAAD! recently began a series called "Courageous Conversations," where artists, writers, and activists help queer community members build resilience in the post-Trump era. The writer, who teaches English at Hostos Community College, said he is finishing a novel called "The Hearts of Hunts Point" and just embarking on a new book that will be both a memoir and a historical account of queer activism in the Bronx.
Lisa Cannistraci, co-owner of Henrietta Hudson, gave a fiercely activist speech: "The old concept of intersectionality is more important now than ever!"
In her sexy, raspy voice, she added, "The most important thing is protecting our Muslim brothers and sisters, our trans community, and people of color — for every reason!"
Cannistraci, honored for her advocacy for youth, seniors, and queer people as a member of Community Board 2 and as vice president of Marriage Equality USA, told attendees, "When we won marriage equality, I did relax a little bit of time, but that was stupid! Now I'm resisting! I'm all about boycotting North Carolina [for its anti-LGBTQ law], just like we boycotted Colorado!," for Amendment 2 in the 1990s.
Speaking directly to Gay City News' Paul Schindler, she said, "We're looking to you to rise and resist!"
Bryan John Ellicott, a 27-year-old bisexual trans man from Staten Island, was honored for his scrappy activism, including suing the city Parks Department when he was forced to leave a Staten Island public pool for changing in the men's locker room, and fighting the tampon tax and anti-choice politicians. Ellicott serves on the staff of out gay Brooklyn City Councilmember Carlos Menchaca, whom he called his "best friend," as well as on the board of BiNet-USA.
Ellicott told event-goers, "I wasn't allowed to march in the St. Patrick's Day Parade in Staten Island, because I'm bisexual and transgender. I want us to fight so that the trans community and the bisexual community will not be erased going forward."
Former New York State Governor David Paterson, one of the most pro-LGBTQ officials ever to serve in the State Senate, was the first honoree of the evening. In a thoughtful aside, Paterson told Gay City News that he thinks it's urgent that progressives develop the "patience" to learn how to organize and change the minds of many who voted for Trump.
"There's a very great amount of education that needs to be done. Some of our hysteria is getting in the way of organizing" among those who mistakenly thought that voting for Trump would be in their interests, the former governor said. "We need a more thought-out strategy than just reacting."
Competing with Paterson for most mobbed awardee of the evening were celebrated U.S. v. Windsor litigant Edie Windsor and performance poet, actor, and author Staceyann Chin. Windsor, looking gorgeous in a little pink hat with a black band that matched her pants suit, beautiful long diamond earrings, and black fingernail polish, was approached by so many well-wishers that her spouse, Judith Kasen-Windsor, practically had to fend them off with a stick so the 87-year-old Windsor could get to her seat.
Introduced by presenter Cathy Marino-Thomas, former head of Marriage Equality USA and a 2016 Impact Award honoree, as "a dynamo in a small blonde body," Windsor said from the stage, "Given the circumstances, there's a surprising joy in this room tonight, and the joy is there because it's a room full of gay activists and their supporters, and we're all present and not hurt! I can't tell you how you thrill my heart."
Chin, the Jamaica-born Drama Desk Award-winner and "Def Poetry Jam" veteran, wore maroon tights and a purple-and-black cloak above a pink and white dress. The performance poet riveted the crowd's attention in her talk.
"We have to get back to being a radical community," she said. "Being a dyke for me has always been political, just like being black and being Caribbean has always been political for me. One of magical things about being gay is that we are disruptive of this white heteronormative narrative."
Chin, who now has a five-year-old child, noted that when she came to New York, she thought, "this is a place where a dyke could be a dyke and have sex with other dykes!"
While being interviewed by Gay City News outside the hall, Chin was approached by many fans, including a Russian immigrant on the Grand Prospect Hall waitstaff who asked with great interest about "what year lesbians really started to come out in New York," and a very young African-American woman who asked shyly if Chin was on Instagram. (She is.)
Chin told the newspaper she's working on a piece in response to the gentrification of Crown Heights, the neighborhood she lives in. And she told the attendees, "It's time to connect with people who are not middle-class and white, and with people who are being forced out of their house due to gentrification. It's time to pull in all the voices that are invisible."

He was born 300 years today, published a bestseller, The Gentleman and Cabinet-Maker's Director, and changed the history of furniture design and branding. Thomas Chippendale (1718–1779) has become a household name in the furniture world since this publication in the mid-eighteenth century, and has been considered the most influential furniture designer in history. The book was just one aspect of his multifaceted career that cemented his name internationally, but Chippendale founded a super successful furniture workshop in London, providing furniture for Georgian mansions and country houses, and dominated London's luxury trade. He exemplified the notion of branding when his illustrated book was utilized by cabinetmakers across Britain, North America, and elsewhere, coining the term 'Chippendale Style.' This 'style' was actually composed of three different styles which were in vogue in England at the time, none of which were his invention: French Rococo, Chinese, and Gothic, all co-existed in his luxurious furniture, in the eve of the Industrial Revolution, when furniture was crafted of imported hardwoods. I could not resist but adding an image of a chair from a dining suite made in Philadelphia for the Second Street house of General John Cadwalader, in the collection of the Met, which has brought the record price for any American Chippendale furniture.

If you've been thinking about buying a home of your own for some time now, you've probably come up with a list of things that you'd LOVE to have in your new home. Many new homebuyers fantasize about amenities they see on TV or Pinterest, and start looking at homes listed for sale with rose-colored glasses. It's important to keep in mind what you want vs. what you need in order to stay focused and keep expectations realistic.
Do you really need that farmhouse sink in the kitchen in order to be happy with your home choice? Would a two-car garage be a convenience or a necessity? Could the man cave of your dreams be a future renovation project instead of a make or break now?
Get organized.
Begin your home buying process by getting pre-qualified for your mortgage. This allows you to know your budget before you fall in love with a home that is way outside of it. If you have a budget to stick to, you can find decor for your house for sale in classified ads, instead of breaking the bank going to home decor shops that can be very expensive, checking out sites such as LeoList can help you find what you are searching for without draining your finances for your new home! The next step is to list all the features of a home that you would like, and to organize them as follows:
- 'Must-Haves' – if this property does not have these items, then it shouldn't even be considered. (ex: distance from work or family, number of bedrooms/bathrooms)
- 'Should-Haves' – if the property hits all of the 'must-haves' and some of the 'should-haves,' it stays in contention, but does not need to have all of these features.
- 'Absolute-Wish List' – if we find a property in our budget that has all of the 'must-haves,' most of the 'should-haves,' and ANY of these, it's the winner!
Stay focused.
Having this list fleshed out before starting your search will save you time and frustration. It will also allow your agent to know what features are most important to you before he or she begins to show you houses in your desired area. To help you stay focused, download our checklist and take it with you on your next trip house-hunting!

Fibromyalgia is a disease that causes severe pain and fatigue in the muscles of the body. This condition mainly affects the connective tissues of the body, which keep the body in good working condition. Fibromyalgia was coined from three Latin words "fibro", "myo", and "algia", which indicate fibrous tissues of the muscles that are in pain, respectively. The nervous system supports the natural functions of the muscles, bones, and nerves which is stimulated by the biochemical action of the brain. Any alterations to the tissues of the brain have the ability to produce physiological changes that cause irritation of muscles and nerves that ultimately leads to cellular pain and fatigue.
Anatomically, the nervous system works in conjunction with the immune system to provide the perfect ratio of chemicals and electrical signals to power the body. The mechanics of these organ systems synergistically provide structure, support, and strength to the whole body, all of which Dr. Mohr, your Tampa chiropractor, keeps in mind and works with to help relieve your symptoms. Those who suffer from fibromyalgia not only experience large amounts of pain but also are constantly depleted of energy. When any of these organ systems are overextended to compensate for inhibited muscles, fatigue occurs on the cellular level. The pain caused by fibromyalgia is devastating in that it occurs in bouts of chronic pain that causes cells to lose energy.
Contributing factors of fibromyalgia
According to statistics, roughly eighty-five percent of those who contract this disease are women. Researchers propose that childbirth and other stressful events that occur throughout life often trigger this condition to occur in the body. Since stress is combated by the intricate workings of the immune, cardiovascular, muscular, and nervous system, inflammation presents a real problem in those who suffer from fibromyalgia. Physiological stress plays a crucial role in the development of fibromyalgia in different parts of the body. Additionally, injuries, diseases, and conditions, which produce physical trauma, stimulate the chronic pain felt in the deep muscles of the body.
Different scientific theories exist on what causes the development of fibromyalgia symptoms. Some theories indicate chemical imbalances that exist in the brain contribute to the development of fibromyalgia. Certain chemicals play a crucial role in the neurotransmission of vital messages between the brain and the rest of the body. The imbalanced production of serotonin and dopamine in the brain indirectly influences metabolic functions and the energy needed for the contraction of muscles. Additionally, when there is an overproduction or underproduction of the growth hormone (GH), muscles are overworked, causing pain due to overexertion.
Although the origin of fibromyalgia causes is clinically unknown, scientists have identified deficiencies in neuroimmunoendocrine functions that cause pain and fatigue in the muscles. These imbalances produce an increased amount of chemicals in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid, which is transferred through the body. Cellular imbalances can lead inflammation, stiffness, and deterioration of affected muscles. The body biochemically reacts to imbalances by triggering an increased response in these vital organ systems. Therapeutically avoiding fibromyalgia symptoms may be accomplished through maintaining health of vital organ systems.

The perfect year-round vehicle? Rare Range Rover convertible up for auction
Can't wait to get your hands on a new Range Rover Evoque convertible? A rare 1973 soft-top Range Rover is set to go under the hammer next month – with bidding expected to reach around £40,000.
Unlike the Evoque, the classic Range Rover was never offered as a convertible from the factory. This example is believed to have been converted by Special Vehicle Conversions in the early 80s, before being won by the previous owner in a card game.
It spent the next 20 years in a lock-up, before being discovered in 2014 and treated to a £20,000 nut-and-bolt restoration.
Now it's being auctioned by Silverstone Auctions at next month's NEC Classic Motor Show, held on 14-15 September.
Classic Car Consignor at Silverstone Auctions, Arwel Richards, said: "This classic Range Rover convertible conversion is a car worthy of the modern-day James Bond, but has a story akin to that of '007' too.
"Not only does this convertible conversion have unique provenance, but it's based on a truly superb early right-hand drive Range Rover 'Suffix B' and has covered a mere 62,500 miles – I doubt you'll find one like this in the near future."

This release is available in French.
Montreal, December 22, 2010 - Obese people are more likely to report exercise as a trigger for asthma. Of 673 people evaluated in a new study whose results are published in the journal The Physician and Sportsmedicine, 71 percent of participants reported exercise-induced asthma (ETA).
The findings are important, since 2.3 million Canadians are affected by asthma according to Statistics Canada.
ETA affects up to 90 percent of asthma sufferers, says lead author Simon Bacon, a professor at the Concordia Department of Exercise Science and a researcher at the Hôpital du Sacré-Coeur de Montréal. "Compared with normal-weight participants, patients who were overweight or obese were more likely to report ETA. To our knowledge, there are no studies that have explored this relationship," he says. "We also found that for every one-point increase in body mass index score was associated with a 9 percent increase in the probability of reporting exercise-induced asthma."
Participants who took part in the investigation suffered from intermittent as well as mild, moderate and severe persistent asthma. Their body mass index was calculated according to their reported height and weight. Patients were also asked to indicate factors - exercise, animals, dust, pollen, aspirin, stress, emotions or cold air - that could trigger their asthma.
"Exercise-induced asthma may lead to a sedentary lifestyle, increased weight and can fuel a downward spiral to worsened health," says Dr. Bacon. "Given the importance of exercise and regular physical activity in weight management, greater care should be taken when working with asthma patients to refer them to appropriate weight management specialists to help them control and safely reduce their weight."
Partners in research:
The study was funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council, the Canadian Institute of Health Research and the Fonds de la Recherche en Santé du Québec.
About the study:
The article, "Effect of Body Mass Index on Self-Reported Exercise-Triggered Asthma," published in the journal The Physician and Sportsmedicine, was coauthored by Simon L. Bacon, Amanda Rizk and Alicia Wright of Concordia University and the Hôpital du Sacré-Coeur de Montréal; Kim L. Lavoie and Ariane Jacob of the Université du Québec à Montréal and the Hôpital du Sacre-Coeur de Montréal.

TONY OLIVER, who was recently named to IMDB's list of the top 20 All Time Anime Voice Actors, began his career over 25 years ago as an actor on stage and on camera, performing in several feature films and dozens of plays. He found success as a voice over artist, lending his voice to one of the first foreign made animated features to receive wide release ("The Sea Prince and the Fire Child"). His first foray into television was as the lead voice in the groundbreaking animated series "Robotech". Following that, Tony continued to voice act, but turned his attention to writing and was soon working as a freelance writer on several cable series for children including "Macron 1" and "Mapletown".
In 1988 he joined the staff of Saban Entertainment, story editing the long running Nickelodeon series "The Noozles". He quickly rose through the ranks, producing, story editing and voice directing numerous broadcast and cable series as well as promotional pieces and sales presentations. In 1990 he wrote and co-produced an award winning animatic adaptation of Rudyard Kipling's "The Jungle Book". Soon after, he produced a number of specials and home entertainment projects and began working as a development writer. He participated in the development of several animated series including the critically praised "Little Shop" series on FOX.
In 1992, Haim Saban (CEO of Saban Entertainment) asked Tony to help him and development executive Ellen Levy-Sarnoff create a new kind of children's television show. The result was the mega children's hit, "The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers". Tony not only served as the development producer but also wrote the pilot episode, produced the network presentation and story edited the first two seasons. As Supervising Producer, Tony took on the additional responsibilities of writing, producing and directing the Power Rangers live appearances including the February 1994 appearance at Universal Studios, Hollywood, which drew an estimated 50,000 people on a single day.
In early 1994, Tony was named Supervising Producer of "Saban's VR Troopers". Later in the year he co-developed and wrote the script for the international sensation "Mighty Morphin Power Ranger - Live Tour". He then spent several months in Sydney, Australia consulting on the 20th Century Fox summer release "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers - The Movie". In 1995 Tony was named Co-Producer of "Power Rangers". Following that he produced a number short run series, PSA's and specials for FOX Kids Network and Fox Family Channel as well as Co-Executive Producing and Co-Directing a family feature film entitled, "Rusty: The Great Rescue" starring Hal Holbrook, Rue McClanahan and a menagerie of talking animals. Before leaving Saban Entertainment, Tony produced a "Power Rangers" retrospective special, which earned significant Saturday morning ratings among kids and was the top rated program on FOX Kids the day it aired.
Since leaving Saban Entertainment in 1999, Tony has continued to develop, produce, voice and direct numerous projects for TV, Video Games, and New Media including ".hack//GU" a multi-player online video game; "Daigunder", for ABC Family/Disney; "Gurren Lagann" a breakthrough anime series airing on the Sci Fi Channel, "Eureka Seven: Good Night, Sleep Tight, Young Lovers" which premiered on screens nationwide, and "Martha & Friends", from Martha Stewart and 4Kids Entertainment as well as voice directing numerous video games like "League of Legends." Tony's many voice acting credits include, "Hoodwinked Too", " The Muppet's Wizard of Oz", Lupin in "Lupin the 3rd", Hibiki in "Vandread", Gojyo in "Sayuki Reload", Harry in "Gun Grave", Ranmaru in "Tokko", Shinbo in "Cho-bits", Ulquiorra in "Bleach", Minato the 4th Hokagein "Naruto",as well as voices in video games such as "Delta Force: Black Hawk Down", "Lord of the Rings: The War of the Ring", "Dynasty Warriors", "World of Warcraft", "Everquest", "Neverwinter Knights", "Xenosaga", "Magna Carta II", "Kamen Rider: Dragon Knight", "Basara 3" and"BlazBlue". More recently he adapted and directed the English releases of "K-ON! The Movie", "Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan", "Fate/Zero" and "Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic", voice directed the highly anticipated "Dangan Ronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc", and can be heard on Nickelodeon's "NFL Rush Zone" and the animated musical series "Iesodo" in the title role.

Bob Graham thinks about taking the plunge
Sen. Bob Graham said Monday he is seriously considering running for the 2004 Democratic presidential nomination, saying he is not satisfied with President Bush's leadership as the country faces "unprecedented" economic and military problems.
The fact that so many Democrats are thinking of making a run at President Brain Deficit, even with his high popularity ratings, makes you wonder what their internal pollsters are telling them. I like Graham, vene though he's kind of a stiff on the stump, but he would make a nice VP candidate with Kerry at the top of the ticket, and he should bring along Florida's electoral votes. The Democrats are all but assured of having the big states (you know, the ones with people actually living in them) like New York, California, Illinois, and Pennsylvania. Florida would be a nice addition.
I look forward to seeing what the Daily Kos will have on this.

Philmont Scout Ranch has come a long way since its first season in 1939, when it hosted more than 180 Scouts at the base for a $1 per week fee. The land — 35,857 acres donated by Waite Phillips, an Oklahoma oil businessman — was first called the Philturn Rockymountain Scoutcamp.
In 1941, Phillips added to the land donation with a gift of 91,538 acres. The camp was renamed "Philmont Scout Ranch." Scouts and Explorers enjoyed backpacking and camping programs second to none.
Attendance continued to grow, especially after the opening of the Philmont Training Center in the 1950s. Since then, Philmont has grown as one of the largest BSA national high-adventure bases, welcoming its one-millionth visitor earlier this summer.
Take a look back at some snapshots from the Scouting magazine archives, featuring the popular high-adventure base. Plus, we've included some images from this past summer to help give you a glimpse at the excitement to come in future trips.
