The 2008 release of Mega Man 9 sparked a trend to make "new retro games," and while some are quite good, others are barely worth paying any attention to. These days, enough quality game-design engines exist out there that just about anyone with enough time on their hands can put in the effort to make a platform title, and just spending a few moments scouring YouTube will serve as a testament to this fact. There are tons and tons of 8-bit style Mega Man fan games in the works, yet only a few of them are good enough to be highly-anticipated among fans (notable games include Mega Man Unlimited by MegaPhilX and Mega Man X: Corruption, an X3-style title that allows for a lot of open exploration).
Until late last year, I was unaware that Mega Man Revolution existed. I think I came to learn about it by searching for some other Mega Man-related title, came across images of this game in Google Images, and then thought it was worth looking into. At the time, the game seemed to be in a state of transition, being retooled and worked on again after a fairly large hiatus. I got in touch with the game's developer and we had a fun dialogue going over Gmail where learned a lot about the project. Now that I have played a set of stable builds, I can say that he has a gem on his hands. In short, Mike Crain has done pretty much on his own what Capcom as a company has failed to do recently (outside of Street Fighter vs. Mega Man, though technically that started as a fan-game as well). I played a very stable build of this game last night for a good while, and it managed to spark a sense of interest, fun, and excitement that I simply haven't gotten from a MM game in some time now.
The game seems to take place sometime after Mega Man 10, when Dr. Wily manages to recapture some of the "Evil Energy" that came to Earth in Mega Man 8 and uses it to reprogram and strengthen some of Dr. Light's own creations. Now, these robots are running amok across the world, and it is up to Mega Man to step in to save the day. Bass too! You actually can play as either of those characters in this latest game. And, just like the much-celebrated Mega Man V on the Game Boy, these robots are strong enough that Dr. Light needs to outfit Rock with the "Mega Arm" weapon to be able to damage them. It results in a neat journey of nostalgia, mixed in with lots of new features (special weapons hidden in the stages, a very unique stage select style, and more!).
The game has its own built-in updater and is constantly being worked on. I highly suggest, even if you aren't a Mega Man fan, that you visit the site and give the game a look!

In the run-up to last month's Republican primary in the special House election for District 14, Seabrook firefighter Kevin Janvrin was taken aback by a campaign flyer that attacked his candidacy. The flyer included a photo of Janvrin and President Obama and claimed the two were the same.
In the run-up to last month's Republican primary in the special House election for District 14, Seabrook firefighter Kevin Janvrin was taken aback by a campaign flyer that attacked his candidacy. The flyer included a photo of Janvrin and President Obama and claimed the two were the same.
Janvrin said it is not the best endorsement for a Republican but knew that he didn't have many allies among a certain segment of Republicans — Libertarians and so-called Free Staters — who were not happy with his opposition to right-to-work legislation. They also didn't like that he was a public employee and has been publicly critical of some of the "policy choices" made by the Republican supermajorities in the state Legislature.
"That was certainly different. I know you have to have thick skin to be in politics, but it was kind of hard to take. I was surprised it came from Republicans," said Janvrin, a first-time candidate and a firefighter in Seabrook since 1993. "I'm not one who likes to be in the limelight. (The flyer) was very distasteful and it distorted my face and made it look like I had a rash."
Undaunted, Janvrin easily won the primary in part because he says voters in Seabrook who know him the best overwhelmingly supported him over the four other Republican candidates.
The group included former state Rep. Gary Wheaton, of Seabrook, who resigned in April after being arrested for driving with a suspended license.
Wheaton only garnered six votes in his hometown to Janvrin's 315. Janvrin defeated the second-place challenger, Lou Garioulo of Hampton Falls, by 118 votes, 436 to 318.
Janvrin will face Democratic primary winner Ryan Mahoney of South Hampton and Libertarian candidate Brandon Kelly of Seabrook in the Sept. 6 special election to fill out the four-person delegation representing Seabrook, Hampton Falls, Kensington and South Hampton.
The attacks on Janvrin from members of his own party intensified after the primary. When Republican House Majority Leader D.J. Bettencourt congratulated Janvrin after his July 5 victory on Bettencourt's Facebook page, there were numerous anti-Janvrin attack responses on the page.
"I assure you all, Janvrin is not a Republican in any way," Wheaton wrote. "He was put up by the local government workers to help kill RTW (right-to-work) specifically."
Janvrin, wrote Rep. Fred Leonard, R-Rochester, "deserves no support from the NHGOP...this guy is poison and we should turn our backs on him."
Rep. Lee Quandt, R-Exeter, said the squabble over Janvrin reflects a Republican party "in total disarray." Some elements are more concerned about enforcing ideological purity than anything else and that includes relentless attacks on public employees like Janvrin, he said.
"These Free Staters and Libertarians are destroying our party. They forget how many union members in this state are Republicans and it's going to cost us at election time," Quandt said.
Janvrin knows what his Republican critics most object to is that if is elected he will support Gov. John Lynch's veto of right-to-work legislation. Support for right-to-work, which would limit union organizing abilities, has become a litmus test for Republican candidates, and Janvrin remains publicly and strongly opposed to it.
"It won't be good for New Hampshire. We need to bring good-paying jobs to New Hampshire, but this won't do it. It will depress wages and lead to more disability claims and OSHA (workplace safety) violations. That's what you find in right-to-work states," he said.
Janvrin also said the budget reduction choices made in Concord during the past session are certain to lead to higher local property tax increases.
"I know they faced difficult choices," he said of lawmakers putting together the 2011-2013 budget. "I think we are going to end up with a lot of unfunded mandates at the local level."
Janvrin said the attacks from certain Republicans will continue, but none have spoken to him face to face. He believes they only represent a minority of mostly "new Republicans" and if they talked to him they would find they agree on "about 90 percent of the issues."
On certain issues they will never agree. He doesn't like the public employee bashing he heard from Republicans during the last session or the overall political tone of the last session.
When Rep. Jason Antosz, R-Epping, wrote, "Don't need Union firefighters to keep us safe," Janvrin said it was indicative of a few who are "against me professionally" but doesn't reflect the real sentiment in the community.
"For the local people I meet, they know who I am and appreciate what firefighters do to help and protect them," he said. "There's nothing special about me. I get up and work every day and have the same problems as they do."
Janvrin said despite calls from some Republicans not to support him, the state Republican Party has pledged its support and he hears nothing but encouragement from voters he encounters.
"I'm an ordinary guy who is passionate about this state," he said. "I want to transfer what I've learned and what I know about helping people to Concord."
This is the first of three District 14 campaign profiles that will run in Seacoast Sunday in advance of the Sept. 6 special election.

Mount Union had a 16-play, 82-yard drive that took 9:53 off the clock capped by a six-yard run from Logan Nemeth (McBain, Mich./McBain) last week against Otterbein. It was the longest scoring drive as far as plays and time since a Kevin Burke three-yard TD run finished off a 15-play, 80-yard drive last year against Heidelberg. To find a longer scoring drive you have to go back to 2010, when the Raiders had an 18-play, 93-yard drive that consumed 10:04 finished with a three-yard TD run from Jeremy Murray at Baldwin Walalce.
Mount Union blocked two punts against Otterbein last Saturday. The first one was blocked and recovered in the end zone for a touchdown by sophomore safety Alex Kocheff (Chagrin Falls/Kenston). Kocheff also recovered the second block that was blocked by junior safety Cody Pogorelc (St. Petersburg, Fla./St. Petersburg). The last time the Raiders blocked two punts in the same game was in 2012 when Nick Driskill blocked a pair against Widener (Pa.) in the NCAA Playoffs.

The aim of this study is to examine the effect physical fatigue can have on men's field hockey performance. Participants included 15 outfield male hockey players possessing a high skill ability. These players were highly conditioned athletes who were training and competing in BUCS South Premier on a high intensity level. The age of the participants range was 20.67 ± 0.71 to ensure they were all at peak physical fitness. The framework of this study was the use of the Soccer Simulation Protocol (SSP) to simulate the movements of a soccer game. As these movement patterns can be related to the movements a field hockey player makes during a competitive game. Tests were created to investigate the participants ball hitting, ball dribbling, agility and sprint speed, these tests were carried out before, during and after the SSP to assess whether the fatigue of a player affects these skills. The mean miles per hour (MPH) of the first hitting test showed a low mean and large standard deviation (SD), there was no significant difference demonstrating no change when players became fatigued. During the dribbling test a similar outcome occurred as the first testing compared to the last produced results that indicated fatigue had no affect on players dribbling ability. The agility test showed a slight decrease in performance due to fatigue, the first testing showed results of 9.4± 0.3 seconds and when fatigued this changed to 9.3±0.4 seconds. Sprint time was the most affected by fatigue with a non-fatigued time of 5.8 ± 0.04 seconds that changed to 5.9 ± 0.1. This data also showed a significant difference between defensive and attacking players (P=0.004) when affected by fatigue. Based on these findings attacking and defensive players require sessions adapted differently during training and conditioning to ensure they are able to maintain sprint speed and agility during the latter stages of a game

A 240-ton hydraulic crane delivered a 30-ton chiller to CMC on September 9. 'What is a chiller?' you may ask. It is a state-of-the-art, super-cool(ing) unit to service both the Mid-Quad dorms and Roberts Pavilion. And with late summer heat upon us, the timing couldn't be any better.
The chiller is hoisted on a crane to its home at CMC.
According to Frank Perri, CMC's director of construction, the new mechanical system uses radiant cooling and heating with air movement by convection, and is much more energy-efficient than conventional air-conditioning. The long-term maintenance costs also tend to be significantly less.
This system is essential for US Green Building Council LEED Gold certification, according to Perri. LEED (Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design) is the nation's preeminent program for the design, construction, and operation of high-performance green buildings.
The unit on a flatbed truck waiting to leave the manufacturing plant in Missouri, bound for CMC.
The chiller, which is similar to the unit used to cool the Kravis Center, heats or cools the building through a combination of radiant panels (panels that radiate heat or cold), using either heated or chilled water, which circulates through pipes in the buildings.
In addition to the new chiller, CMC also will be receiving a secondary unit ––a boiler, for heating buildings (using the same convection/radiant system process)––although the boiler will be about half the size of the chiller, says Perri.

Juventus setting up special training specially for Ronaldo. This season Serie A has already played three rounds, and the highly anticipated Ronaldo still has not scored. "Mirror" reported that Juventus is working on a special plan for Ronaldo. Although Ronaldo has not yet scored his first goal of Serie A, he may not be able to increase his strength for the time being.
Juventus head coach Allegri and the coaching staff developed a careful management plan for Cristiano Ronaldo. "Turin Sports News" CMD368 Malaysia said that Ronaldo is entering a special training program. When he played in Real Madrid, he studied his body with experts in Madrid and improved his working style.
Ronaldo to make efforts in the future
For many years, Cristiano Ronaldo knows how to control his body. He did not use his best when he joined Juventus. Ronaldo believes that if you go all out at the beginning of the season, it will be counterproductive. Fatigue can increase the risk of his injury, and even if he is not injured, it will affect his condition. This is why Ronaldo adjusts the training program. But maybe, the more relaxed Ronaldo will find the feeling of scoring in the next game.
Cristiano Ronaldo's last free kick was the World Cup this year. Ronaldo's free kick drew a beautiful arc to break the door of De Gea. After Cristiano Ronaldo moved to Juventus, although he has also taken several free kicks, he has not shown his free kick stunt. In fact, Ronaldo is already practicing free kicks.
Ronaldo kicked out the S-shaped arc
Although there is no complete training image, from the video disclosed by the Marca newspaper, Ronaldo tried to use the elevator ball during training. In the video, Ronaldo faced the football on the turf, which made his classic Tomahawk shot. The football painted a S-shaped arc to the left and suddenly to the right in the air, which is very impressive.

This is what I've been working on for XO, Avery. I've started designing interesting and exclusive neck pieces beyond the jewelry line. These are created for the woman who wants to change the look of her favorite LBD or just wants to be chic and fabulous. I saw Barbara Walters' last show on The View, and wouldn't you know it, two women showed up with the same dress on stage. UGH! A super easy fix is to always have a Plan B…so you don't look like an A and turn into a B 😉 These pieces can be your "A" Game, or a Plan B, if necessary. I only make one-of-a-kind, so no one will ask…."who wore it better?".
These are not online for sale at this time. If you would like to inquire about this line, please email me at: email@example.com

I just checked a link to facebook page for it(as my sis mentioned it) and am really p****d off with its seemingly v 'narrow minded' view of thyroid disease.(this is at 'first glance')but theres an article saying that there is no such thing as adrenal fatigue!!(i mean,even the W.H.O. has now recognized adrenal fatigue as an illness..)it alsoxsays taking adrenal supplements(glandulars etc)can leave ur adrenals unable to produce their own hormone,after...and that it can mask the 'real' cause of symptoms(cancer ,depress etc).
It also seems to expound thyroxine as the only 'cure' for hypothyroid illness and also for Hashis!!it alsi comes up with 'no results' when i searched for NDT!!(and it rubbishes any alternative herbs etc that could help thyroid.)I think we should bombard this ignorant organization with some of our experiences and intelligent research!!(on facebook,email.)Come on;we need to fight this ignorance!I cant believe that this;one of the main sources of info for people with thyroid illness is feeding such myths.aargh!!makes me angry...(people like my sister will read this crap and have a v poor understanding of how complex thyroid illness really is...)what hope is there if we dont act on ignorance about thyroid illness?Hypothyroidist Activists;thats what we should be(lol)...but seriously,nothing else will change this sordid situation.I know a lot of u members on here can write much better than i can(more articulate and knowlegable.)...please do be activists for us all!

Fall fashion in warm climates
As a resident of Florida and a basic girl I have the same problem every fall. I want to wear all the cute clothes but I also want to not die from overheating. Everyone on Instagram is going around sharing all these cute sweaters and boots and scarves and I am just sitting here hoping I can make it through the day without sweating through my tank top. I want all the cute things, but I always have to ask myself if it is really practical. Over the last few years I have learned some ways to make fall fashion work in florida.
Lightweight layering pieces
Skip the heavy sweaters and go for light, open sweaters. These can be paired with a tank to give the illusion of layers and fall color but without dying.
Here are a few I like:
Skip the boots for booties or mules
I know those mid-calf boots are adorable but they just don't get enough fall wear around here. Try simple booties in a light color or mules. Although I have not yet jumped on this new mules trend I plan to get a pair soon, maybe in leopard. The best part? They are slip ons!
If you must wear a scarf, pick a thin breathable option
I opt for light cotton options. These are a little harder to find in the fall, but keep an eye out year round for scarves in fall and all-seasons colors.
Skip the tights
Tights are all the rage with skirts and dresses this time of year, but just skip them and go bare. A denim skirt with booties is a super cute fall look and your legs will thank you. Now that denim skirts are back I am just wishing I still had my old ones from high school.

The Responsive Program is based on beliefs in building a pluralistic society and in strengthening children as individuals. Instead of the deficit view of compensatory education that focuses on deficiencies of low-income minority children, it adheres to a productive approach of enhancing the values of cultural differences and responding to the strengths of children as individuals...Schools should respond to children and their families rather than vice versa. (Judd and Wood, 1973)
The Follow Through models place varying degrees of emphasis on the
of basic skills, cognitive conceptual skills, and affective development.
Although all sponsors expected to demonstrate effectiveness in all domains
by the end of third grade, we can expect the models to produce various time
sequences of progress in achieving this goal. We have divided the progress
of these children during the course of the program into two parts: progress
during kindergarten and first grade (early) and progress during second and
third grade (late). A study of the progress of FT children during these
two intervals shows that most programs produce substantial progress early
on math measures. However, only a few of the programs are able to maintain
these early benefits in math during the later period of the program.
The reading area appears to be much less tractable. Direct Instruction, Behavior Analysis, and Bank Street models produce predominately non-negative effects, that is, progress in reading which is either greater than or equal to the progress of comparison children. Only the children associated with the Direct Instruction Model appear to perform above the expectation determined by the progress of the non-Follow Through children. Moreover, the Direct Instruction children are the only group which appears to make more progress in reading, both early and late. In general, most models appear to be more effective during kindergarten and first grade than during second and third grade. The Direct Instruction Model is the only program which consistently produces substantial progress.

Elle Russ chats with Integrative Physician Gary E. Foresman MD about Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) and its benefits in treating autoimmune disorders, cancer, and much more.
In 1994 when Dr. Foresman opened a private practice, he quickly became dissatisfied with the inability of established Western medical treatments to effectively treat many of his patients. Dr. Foresman began investigating alternative therapies and has since expanded his training in many systems of healing—not just through meditation and stress management, but also using botanical, orthomolecular and functional medicine systems. His scientific mind combined with a holistic integrative perspective, makes him a skilled practitioner who therapeutically synthesizes optimal healing modalities for each individual.
Dr. Foresman ranked among the top in the nation on his Internal Medicine Board Exams and has some of the most comprehensive Internal Medicine training to be found - including serving as a Clinical Professor who trained other physicians at a University Medical Center.
In-depth commentary on thyroid dysfunction by Dr. Gary Foresman can be found in The Paleo Thyroid Solution written by Elle Russ.

Dr Shaune Lakin
Senior Curator of Photography, National Gallery of Australia
Shaune graduated with a Doctor of Philosophy (Arts) in Art History from the University of Melbourne in 2002
In his current role as Senior Curator of Photography at the National Gallery of Australia, Shaune is responsible for the collection of international and Australian photomedia. The role involves building the collection, developing exhibitions, and managing relationships with key stakeholders both externally (artists, collectors, supporters) and internally within the gallery itself.
The role gives him an opportunity, which he greatly respects and appreciates, to have an impact on the development of the national collection, as well as to make it accessible to a wide range of people. He sees it as "a rare privilege" to handle items of such significance on a regular basis.
Reflecting on his Doctor of Philosophy (Arts) studies, Shaune highlights the opportunity his candidature gave him to develop and define "a set of questions which provide a framework for making sense of visual material and making it accessible." He says "the experience of writing my PhD got me jobs, but most importantly, it gave me this framework."
Shaune also credits the teaching he did throughout his Doctor of Philosophy (Arts) for preparing him to make his passion for the field accessible and available to others. He talks of "the amazing conversations with students which were transformative" - conversations in which he had to critically interrogate the subject matter in a way that helped him clarify what he could bring to the field and how best to communicate that.
Following his Doctor of Philosophy (Arts), Shaune came to the National Gallery of Australia to work on projects. He then spent two years working on a history of Australian war photography for the Australian War Memorial, analysing the role of photography in accounting for the experience of conflict. His PhD was critical to the success of this work as it gave him the skills to deal with both social history and the close analysis of pictures.
Shaune remained at the War Memorial for several years as Senior Curator, after which he was appointed Director of a metropolitan art gallery. He then moved to his current role.

Moving Checklist
Moving is a task that most people don't find enjoyable, but if you plan ahead and feel 100% prepared when moving day comes around, chances are it will feel a lot less stressful. We've rounded up a few of our favourite moving, packing and organizing tips and tricks from around the web to help you on your way!
Check out these tips from Martha Stewart Living, April 2008: http://www.marthastewart.com/269679/simplifying-the-big-move
6 Weeks Before
Hire a Mover
Ask friends for recommendations and get quotes from three licensed companies. On-site estimates tend to be more accurate, whether pricing is by weight and distance or a flat or hourly rate. Decide if the movers or you will pack (regardless, you may want to wrap fragile or costly items yourself). Ask if the quote is binding or nonbinding, what charges could arise and what insurance is included. If necessary, contact your insurance company for additional coverage. Request a copy of the signed contract.
Stay Organized
Dedicate a three-ring binder to move-related paperwork, such as to-do lists, contracts, receipts, checklists and phone numbers.
5 Weeks Before
Organize Your Belongings
Conduct a room-by-room survey to determine what you plan to keep, sell and donate.
Document Valuables
Have items such as artwork and antiques appraised in case they get damaged. Photograph or videotape them and upload the images to your computer. Also save them to a CD and store it with your small valuables (see "1 Week Before," below).
Moving and all its attendant chores, may be inevitable. But the accompanying sense of chaos, while common, isn't necessary. This schedule outlines essential tasks, both large and small, that need to be addressed and allows several weeks for you to tend to the details (although everything can be accomplished in far less time). As you prepare, don't overlook the simplest way to ease your burden: Consider which belongings you really need to keep. A lighter load means not only an easier move, but less to unpack.
4 Weeks Before
Gather Materials
Stock up on moving supplies including boxes, box cutters, tape (packing, masking and blue painters), tape dispensers, wrapping material (bubble, plastic and tissue paper) and labels (see Packing Strategies below). If in doubt, purchase extra; you can return any unused products. Wardrobe boxes, with built-in bars for hangers, can transport clothing as well as light fixtures. Used boxes from bookstores, which are built to carry compact but heavy loads, are excellent for most other items.
3 Weeks Before
Start Packing
Box infrequently used items, including the contents of the garage, the attic and other storage areas, as well as out-of-season clothing, holiday decorations, books and special-occasion dishware. Number the boxes and keep track of the contents on a master inventory list. Try to limit each box's weight to enable easy lifting. Fill large boxes with pillows and other light things and reserve smaller boxes for your heavier possessions. Always reinforce the bottoms with packing tape. Secure fragile objects with cushioned packaging material and painters' tape, which releases easily. Pack electronics and small appliances in their original packaging or in snugly fitting boxes.
Color-Code Rooms
Assign a color to each room and mark boxes and furniture (be mindful of delicate surfaces) with coordinating stickers to ensure the movers will know at a glance where everything should go.
Notify Utility Services
Request that your utilities and phone and Internet service be disconnected the day after you leave and installed in your new home the day before you arrive.
Call a Locksmith
Arrange to have the locks in your new home changed on moving day, or earlier if convenient.
Hire a Cleaning Company
Consider having housekeepers scrub both of the spaces -- so you don't have to -- preparing the new house in the morning before you arrive and tidying up the old one after you have left.
2 Weeks Before
Continue Packing
Before you pack the bulk of your belongings, think about whether you'd like to do so by room, by category (such as sports equipment and formal dinnerware), or by another system that works for you.
Change Your Address
To have your mail forwarded, complete a change-of-address form online or at the post office. Update newspaper and magazine subscriptions and notify banks and credit card companies.
1 Week Before
Prepare Your Moving Papers
Print an information sheet for the movers with the old and new addresses, directions and your cell phone number. Have a cashier's check or a credit card (if accepted) on hand, plus cash for a tip.
Finish Packing
Box your remaining items, setting aside sufficient clothing for the week ahead, as well as a suitcase or two to transport it.
Create a Last-Out, First-In Box
Pack your day-to-day necessities so that they're together in one place, including bedding, towels, toiletries, toilet paper, basic tools, cleaning supplies, medications, a camera (to document anything broken in transit), snacks, a few dishes and utensils and a coffeepot -- plus coffee and mugs. Take the box with you in your car.
Stash Small Valuables
Keep jewelry and important paperwork together. Have a friend hold on to them until you get settled, or lock them in the trunk of your car on moving day.
Moving Day
Moving day can be a stressful time. The key to keeping calm under pressure is being organized and prepared for the chaos that will likely ensue. Following are a few reminders for how to handle the big day with ease.
1. Be on hand when the movers arrive. If you can't remain personally, authorize someone to take your place and give the mover his/her name. Give this person a list of duties and make sure they understand exactly what to do.
2. Keep children and pets on their daily routine as much as possible and out of the way of the movers and the moving van.
3. Identify the project manager within the group of movers and accompany them through the house as he or she inspects and tags each piece of furniture with an identifying number. These numbers, along with a description of your goods and their condition at the time of loading will appear on the inventory. NOW is the time to come to an agreement with them as to the condition of your furniture.
4. Make movers aware of which items are to be loaded in the van and point out prized or delicate articles.
5. Advise the movers of any items you wish to have as soon as you arrive at your new home – immediate necessities like a baby's playpen and crib, for example.
6. Make a final tour of the premises with the van operator to be sure that all items have been loaded.
7. Before signing the combination bill of lading and freight bill, check the details. This document states the terms and conditions under which your goods are moved and in your receipt for your goods. Make certain that your Declared Valuation – in the proper amount – is listed on the bill of lading.
8. Leave the house as agreed upon with the new occupants of the house regarding utilities, heating etc.
9. If this is a long distance move, two or three days in advance of reaching your destination, it is advisable to telephone to the mover to check on the progress of your shipment. Bear in mind that delivery can be on or before the agreed upon delivery date.

Do you have difficulties getting out of a chair?
September 11, 2011 2 Comments
The ability to stand up from a chair is a key skill to maintain independence and mobility. As you get older you lose strength in the hip and knee extensors which are the muscles that help straighten our legs. In this blog I am first going to discuss how to get out of a chair safely before going on to describe some exercises to strengthen the legs.
How to stand up safely
- Move your bottom to the edge of the chair.
- Place both feet flat on the floor.
- Place both hands on the arm rests of the chair. If there are no arm rests, then place both hands on the edge of the chair.
- Lean forward so that your nose is over your toes.
- Push down through your arms as you help unload your weight off the chair.
- As you are pushing down through your arms, begin straightening your legs.
- Let go of the chair and finish straightening your legs
To be able to stand up from a chair without assistance requires strong leg muscles. The following exercises practiced a few times a week will help impove your ability to stand from your chair. Before doing the exercises march in place in your chair for a couple of minutes, this will help restore mobility to the hip joint and also warm up the leg muscles.
Seated Leg extensions (can aggravate osteoarthritis)
- Sit on chair with feet flat infront of you, palms holding chair edge at sides or front.
- Keeping left foot on floor and upper body still, slowly extend the right leg (bending from the knee) until it is parallel with the floor. Hold here for 2 counts
- Bend knee to lower right leg back to floor.
- Repeat 10 times and then change legs.
Standing Gluteal Kick backs
- Stand behind a high backed chair holding on the back for balance. Avoid leaning forward during the exercise.
- Lift one leg behind you keeping the raised leg straight but have a slight bend in the leg you are standing on. Hold for a count of 5.
- Slowly lower leg.
- Repeat 10 times and then change legs.
Seated Calf raises
- Start by sitting upright in a high backed chair with your back straight and your legs bent so that your feet are flat on the floor.
- Press your legs upward so that your heels are off the ground and only your toes and the balls of the top of your foot are still in contact with the floor.
- Hold at the top of the movement for two seconds, and slowly lower back down.
- Repeat 10 times.
Sit to Stand
- Sit in a high backed chair and slide forward as far as possible
- Move your feet back so your heels are lined up with the front edge of the chair.
- Use your bottom and legs to stand up. Try only to use your hands on the chair for balance if necessary. If this is too difficult then you can put some cushions to raise the level of the seat.
- Repeat 5 times. If possible practice this exercise daily.
These exercises will not only help you stand from a chair unassisted but also improve your ability to walk up and down stairs, reach for something on a high shelf and improve your balance.

After basis of agreement was reached last week, cracks start to show between world leaders. 10 Apr 2015 23:18 GMT Politics, Middle East, Iran, United States When the US secretary of state and his Iranian counterpart announced to the world they reached the basis of a nuclear deal, many welcomed the news. But barely a week later, the tone has changed. Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei says there is no "guarantee" the agreements reached in Switzerland will lead to a final deal with world powers. And in a sign of the hurdles that lie ahead for negotiators, all sanctions would need to be lifted as soon as a deal is reached, the ayatollah says. The US says its position has always been, that sanctions would be lifted gradually, to ensure Iran follows through with its commitments to reduce its uranium stockpile. But the remarks by the Iranian supreme leader show world leaders may not be as close to a final agreement as they had led people to believe. So has this agreement been oversold? Or, are all sides just manoeuvring ahead of a final deadline in June? Presenter: Sami Zeidan Guests: Foad Izadi - Professor of World Studies at the University of Tehran.

In the wake of the news that THQ may be forced to cancel Tomonobu Itagaki's upcoming project, Devil's Third, rumors that some of THQ's other high-profile AAA projects might be in danger of getting the axe.
In an attempt to quell any and all such rumors, THQ VP Danny Bilson tweeted last night that inSane, the first part of an upcoming trilogy of horror games imagined by Pan's Labyrinth director Guillermo del Toro, in still in production.
His exact words; "Guillermo Del Toro's inSane is not cancelled!"
Speaking with Polygon, Bilson went on to say that the projects from Assassin's Creed creator Patrice Desilet and Left 4 Dead developer Turtle Rock are both still in production. Turtle Rock is working on a multiplayer first-person shooter that will take the genre "to a whole new level." Little is known about Desilet's project beyond that the fact that development began last summer.
It's unlikely that either will be at E3 next month. However, just because you can't the see games being made, doesn't mean they aren't there.

Book Review: The Ultimate Baseball Road Trip

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";
For all of the information contained in "The
Ultimate Baseball Road Trip: A Fan's Guide To Major League Stadiums",
authors Josh Pahigian and Kevin O'Connell fail to answer the one question I had
while reading this book.
And that, of course, is how they persuaded a publisher to
pay for this venture. THAT is something I want to know.
But that said, this book isn't short on information about
any ballpark destination you may have, at least any ballpark that opened before 2004. Josh and Kevin traveled across the country and visited all 30 major
league ballparks in 2003. At least I'm guessing it was mostly 2003, the book does
include chapters for Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia and Petco Park in San
Diego, both of which opened in 2004. If there's one regret they may have, it's
that they didn't go on this trip in 2012, when the only stadium left to replace
will be Oakland's.
There is a chapter dedicated to each ballpark; in each
chapter the reader learns some of the history of the team, where and how to get
a good seat, how to get to the ballpark, some places to eat or drink at before
and after the game, some features of the ballpark, and some comments on the
overall experience. Overall each of these is covered pretty well; if there's an
obstructed view seat, they'll probably let you know about it. They've even
ranked each stadium's hot dogs, with San Diego's as the worst, while Oakland of
all places produced the best. A matter of opinion of course, but still fun.
All of this, I can tell you from experience, would be
painstaking work if it were actual work. They obviously enjoyed doing it as
much as I do.
And for the most part Josh and Kevin have done a terrific job.
This book would be very handy if you were going on a trip to four or five or
more ballparks as a vacation. It's also an enjoyable read for any baseball fan on its own.
It is all written in an easily readable style, as if they
were talking to you and giving you the scoop in a non-condescending way,
occasionally interrupted with eye-rolling jokes shared between the two.
If I had a complaint about the book if would be that there's
just a tad of braggadocio in it; for example, the introduction asserts that "You
hold in your hand the best guide on the market for the kind of road trip you're
envisioning". True, probably, although you could substitute the word "only" for "best". Which isn't their fault, of course. Still, this is a minor complaint. I received this book as a Christmas gift, and haven't spent a minute
wishing I'd asked for something else.
If the publisher were willing to pay for an updated version
in order to include Citi Field, Yankee Stadium, Busch Stadium, Nationals Park, Target
Field, the new ballpark for the Marlins that opens next year and the renovated
Kauffman Stadium and U.S. Cellular Field, I wouldn't say they hadn't earned the
right. This stuff changes constantly, as I well know.
So while adding the shameless plug for comparison; The Ultimate
Baseball Road Trip is very good for that, a road trip. The book doesn't go into
the detail that a Ballpark E-Guide
does, and the reader probably won't learn much new about his own home ballpark, but then they don't have the luxury of updating things for the reader like I
do. But even with eight of the chapters in this book becoming dated, it's still
a worthwhile purchase.
Take it from someone who is insanely jealous of the authors.
The Ultimate Fan Shares How To Scalp Tickets
I'm not big on ticket scalping. If I've done it for five events in my life it would be a lot. Of all my ballgame experiences I believe I've paid scalpers to get in twice. (Although I did score a great seat to an Orioles-Yankees game at Camden Yards for nothing once. Sometimes patience and persistence can make a world of difference.)
The first time was my first trip to Fenway Park in 1995. This was the year after the strike killed the World Series; fans were angry and tickets were easier to come by. Even with this, I paid something in the arena of $25 apiece–remember this is 1995 dollars–for bleacher seats at Fenway. My buddy and I ended up with very low seats close to the field. Except they were a little too low, and I was bobbing my head up and down trying to see through a railing all night.
The other time was in Atlanta. It was in 1999, my first time at Turner Field. I took the shuttle bus to the park and found someone willing to sell me a single seat. I don't remember how much I paid, but it was a ripoff no matter what it was. The nice fellow said to me as I was walking away with the ticket on a cloudy evening, "The best part is, if it rains, you won't get wet!" Apparently he'd never been in Turner Field before. The seat was in the upper deck all the way down the left field line, a seat that I believe you could get for a dollar today. Fortunately the place was empty on a rainy Monday night, and I was able to improve my lie early on.
I'm not a haggler. Never have been. It's a product of growing up in a capitalist society. American consumers don't have to endure that BS. Sell us the product at the right price or we'll go elsewhere, period. Keep things simple so we can spend time planning our next trip to the ballpark.
But Andrew Van Cleve, author of the "Ultimate Fan: Have Game, Will Travel" blog, has opened my eyes to what an advantage this gives to fans who are willing to haggle.
Van Cleve gives tips on how to scalp tickets for low demand games, high demand games, playoff games and everything in between. He tells you exactly what to look out for, like networks saying a game is sold out. He describes the differences between StubHub and Tickets Now and other outlets. He goes into detail about what he calls the "Soar and Sink" cycle, where tickets skyrocket in price…and then fall as most folks are scared away. He has a few humorous stories of scores he's made getting tickets.
The most important advice Van Cleve gives (although it's all very good) is about how to deal with scalpers in general at the event. He debunks six separate myths about scalpers, including that you will get ripped off or that you need to be a good negotiator. Van Cleve claims that 99.5% of ticket scalpers are legit, and that you need only to know the market to negotiate. He tells you not to worry about the seller looking p***ed at you; that this is all part of the act.
Andrew Van Cleve lives in Chicago; according to my buddy Gary Herman he is within walking distance from Wrigley Field. I can't think of a better location for someone to learn everything there is to know about how ticket scalpers operate. But he's been around a bit too, as the title of the blog suggests.
I'm still not a scalper, but if I find myself in a position of necessity sometime, having this knowledge is going to be a big help. Who knows, I may need to learn that haggling skill to get into places soon, to best get the photos found in Ballpark E-Guides!
Tips For Using StubHub
In my E-Guides I often mention StubHub as a source for buying tickets to ballgames. Depending on the market, you can often get tickets cheaper than face value this way. As with buying directly from the team's website, you will have to pay a fee for the service (15% of the ticket last I checked, which adds up on the more expensive seats). However, StubHub has a couple other advantages: you can choose the section you'd like, and you can see what the market is really demanding for a ticket.
Take the September 20 game between the Yankees and Rays at Yankee Stadium. For the best available seats in that game, the Yankees are asking (on their own site) $600 apiece for Legends Suite seats in Section 14A, Row 4, Seats 5 and 6 down the first base line. There is a $17.25 "convenience charge" for each ticket. (I've always wondered if I could make it "inconvenient" somehow and not pay that ridiculous charge.)
As I write this on September 13, StubHub has two tickets in that same section for $700 apiece. I am going to watch that and see if it comes down. There are also seats available in Section 14B, Row 9, farther from the field but still closer to home plate, for $575 apiece, which is less than what the Yankees were asking for Section 14A seats. (You can also get Champions Suite seats, almost at the same point at the third base line, for $325 apiece. But I digress.) An eBay seller is selling seats in this general zone for $588 apiece.
I realize this is a staggering amount of money for a ballgame ticket, but I am just using it as an example since I believe this will also cause the greatest variation. Listed below are the lowest StubHub prices of seats in Section 14A (or nearby and cheaper in the Legends Suite sections) by date:
Wednesday, September 15 – Seats in Section 14A, Row 8 for $700 apiece; Section 14B, Row 9 still available for $575.
Thursday, September 16 – Same seats in 14A, same price, $700. Section 14B, Row 7 available for $700. $575 seats gone.
Friday, September 17 – Same seats in 14A, same price, $700. Section 14B, Row 7 available for $700.
Saturday, September 18 – Same seats in 14A, same price, $700. In Section 14B in Row 3 (better seats than 14A), seats are now available for $677, and seats in Row 7 in the same section are now $700.
Sunday, September 19 – Same seats in 14A, same price, $700. Nothing else in that section available. Two sets of seats available in Section 14B, $677 seats are now $648, others are $700.
Monday, September 20 (day of the game) 7:20 AM – Same seats in 14A, same price, $700. Nothing else in that section available. Same seats for the same price in Section 14B.
Monday, September 20 (day of the game) 1:47 PM – Same seats in 14A, same price, $700. Nothing else in that section available. There are now three pairs of seats in Section 14B going for $500-$559 apiece, some in Row 3 even, finally less than the original sticker price (but don't forget the StubHub markup, which makes $500 seats total $575). You can also now get Legends Suite seats directly behind home plate for $750. I never thought I'd be calling a $750 baseball ticket a bargain, but everything is relative when it comes to the Yankees.
The price of a ticket will likely go down as the event gets closer, and most of the time the availability of tickets will go up as well. You can score some real bargains on seats if you wait till the last minute; the drawback is that great deals don't last long, and the seats that you've been eyeing may get snapped up within seconds of their finally becoming available at a price that you like. You have to balance how picky you are going to be about where you sit with how little you want to pay.
So my advice is to know how much you want to spend on seats and have a couple of general areas where you'd like to sit for whatever reasons. Keep the market in mind and be realistic. You are not going to get box seats for a Red Sox-Yankees game at Fenway for $5. Look at what tickets are going for on StubHub, get a feel for how much you'll need to spend, decide on a dollar figure, and the second you see seats you want at that price, grab them. StubHub is no place for tentative people; I know this from experience.
I know my buddy Jake Cain at Ballpark Savvy recommends waiting until the last minute before buying tickets on eBay or StubHub. I don't necessarily argue with that rationale, but there will likely be good deals available within a week of the event that you could let slip away waiting for something better that might not appear.
Another concern is that something could turn up and cause tickets to be in demand. This happened to me once. On a trip out west last summer, I was daily scoping eBay for Padres tickets for the day I was going to be in San Diego. As I was waiting for the prices to go down, it was announced that this Padres game against Los Angeles would be the first game of Manny Ramirez's return from being suspended for steroids. Bam! The availability of tickets went down and the price went way up. I had no idea Californians loved fake muscles so much. I ended up not going to the game and learning a valuable lesson.
Hence my strategy of setting a price you want and grabbing it when you see it, and also checking very frequently, because good deals are snapped up quickly. But if you aren't picky about where you sit, I would say 2-3 days before the event is a good time to start scanning those sites.
StubHub is a good tool for finding the right seats and occasional bargains, you just need to be smart about how you use it. I will try this experiment again with lesser demand tickets for the Pirates and let you know how it turns out.
Ballpark E-Guides Website Is Up!
Well, now I've gone and done it…the Ballpark E-Guides website is now up! You can't buy anything yet, but you can look at sample pages and read the blog there.
It is now just a matter of finding the best service for downloading, or e-mailing, or whatever way I decide to use to get these to the customer. Till then, have a look!
What To Do In The Rain
If you go to enough baseball games, sooner or later you're going to get caught up in a rain delay. And it's not fun, except for the entertainment value of watching the grounds crew wrestle with an incorrigible tarpaulin infield cover on windy nights. If you have an umbrella with you, it's not a bad idea to stay in your seat as it passes, sparing your pants and behind from the unpleasant dampness of a rained-on seat after it's over. But if you aren't so equipped, you need a plan.
Depending on where you are in the park, there may be spacious enough concourse areas nearby where you can stand comfortably and wait for the weather to clear. But if you are at a game that is sold out or nearly so, you aren't likely to find many of these with everyone running for cover. And people are going to be buying hot dogs and drinks, so expect a long wait in line if you choose that route (although at least you won't be missing any action doing so).
The smartest move you can make during a rain delay is to head for the restroom. Yes, I'm serious. If you think there may be a rain delay sometime in the evening, locate where the nearest restrooms are and be ready to make a beeline for them the second the grounds crew goes for the tarp.
There are several reasons why a restroom is the best spot to wait out a downpour. The first and most obvious is to take care of nature's call. That's a given of course, but the sound of rain tends to exacerbate such needs, and most patrons are going to be running towards the nearest dry spot before they think of this. The second is that no one is likely to want to spend a rain delay in a bathroom, so it isn't likely to be too crowded and you won't have to unwittingly bask in a stranger's body heat like you would in the concourse areas. And the third and most important reason is the one that no one else thinks of until it's too late: you are going to need paper towels to dry off your seat when the rain delay is over.
I am fully aware that loitering in a public restroom is low on the list of how American citizens desire to spend their leisure time. But this blog isn't about acting like royalty–it's about getting an extra edge when you visit a ballpark. A subway isn't often the most pleasant way to travel either, but it's usually better than dealing with congestion and finding a place to park in a city.
All I'm saying is that you can avoid crowds, take care of business that everyone must answer to regardless of their socio-economic position, and prepare for returning to your seat before the bathrooms run out of towels (which they will on a rainy night, believe me). If you have your cell phone handy, give someone you haven't talked to in a while a call to pass the time. They'll surely appreciate that you thought of them while you were in the restroom.
Just a couple of cautionary words about using the restroom to wait out Mother Nature. One is that the restroom is NOT for people-watching, no matter how bored you may get, especially if you're the type to get googly-eyed at anything remotely unusual. For Pete's sake, leave your camera in your bag. And two, if there aren't any towels to use, don't go for the toilet paper. Consider your fellow man and deal with a wet seat.

In a recent study by leadership consultancy Zenger Folkman, leaders who expressed a preference for listening over speaking were ranked as much more effective in a number of competencies by their peers. These not only include go-to skills like relationship-building and communicating, but also things like innovation, professional expertise and integrity. Listening, it seems, is the skill all other leadership skills are borne from.
And, like so many other skills, effective listening is something that can be learned. Here are some tips for being a better listener, and how you can listen to become a better leader.
Prepare to listen, not just to speak. We all do it. A big meeting is coming up and we want to impress. We arrive with an agenda in mind. We have pre-rehearsed thoughts and ideas we want to express to show how engaged and prepared we are. Yet, rather than first taking in what others have to say and tailoring our ideas based on new information, we sit in silent rehearsal, waiting for our turn to talk.
What we so often think of as preparedness is actually robbing us of the opportunity to learn from our colleagues' real-time insights and knowledge. The result? We offer yesterday's ideas instead of listening and engaging with what's happening today. Coming to meetings prepared is always a great plan. But coming to meetings prepared to listen and collaborate is what will bring the best, most impressive ideas to light.
Make the time you spend as a listener count. We're all in a hurry these days, traveling around on business trips and stuck in endless meetings. For example, in healthcare doctors and caregivers are incredibly busy and do their best to solve problems in too little time. But while we can't create more hours in the day, we can make the time we do have count.
When people feel rushed and unheard, they often feel inadequate. It's difficult for people to move on from those moments and go on to feel empowered and motivated to do their best work. Which is why it's critical that we are active in our listening, and intent on understanding what the other person is telling us.
Doctors and business leaders alike need to use their time to create sacred moments of listening. That means putting our own concerns about what we're working on next on the back burner for a set amount of time in order to be more present in the moment. Try to find ways to actively listen that work for you, whether that's taking notes on a piece of paper, or taking a moment afterward to mentally review your conversation. When we signal to those around us that their ideas are important, we can build more productive professional relationships.
Listen to gain context about a person, not just to hear what they're saying.
Everyone has their own point of view. Their own biases, agendas and needs. And, while it can be complicated to take everyone's individual preferences into account at every meeting and working session, having a grasp of who those around you are as individuals, and what motivates them, is critical for any leader.
Listening is not the same as having an answer. Listening and problem-solving are two different things, and one necessarily has to come before the other. As much pressure as we feel to be "on" as leaders, coming up with great solutions to every problem, we'll often get to a better outcome if we just listen for a while.
In any professional or personal setting, letting your mind race for answer can distract you from focusing on what someone is communicating, especially if they are voicing a concern or raising a sensitive topic. Instead of responding with a hastically conceived solution (or a response that's drawn from emotion instead of thoughtful analysis), first let them know you've heard them, absorbed what they said, and that you're considering it. Taking as much time as you need before offering an answer—or being transparent about the fact that there might not be a clear solution— doesn't signal that you're not engaged leader, but in fact does the opposite.

Their conclusion was electrifying: An as-yet undetected super-Earth may be lurking a light week away in an eccentric orbit far beyond Neptune. Their article in the Astronomical Journal generated intense interest, including 311,371 (and counting) downloads of a .pdf containing a bracing dose of secular perturbation theory, along with push notifications from the likes of the New York Times and NPR to devices worldwide.

June 19, 2009 (RUMBEK) – Two rival volleyball teams faced off in Rumbek town last Friday evening, resulting in Jamus beating Zain at a score of 3 to 2.
- Jamus team hitting the ball, June 19, 2009 (photo M. Mayom)
Both teams have names with a meaning: Jamus means Buffalo and Zain means communication network.
The evening volleyball match was attended by Lakes state director general in the ministry of Youth and Sport of Lakes state government, Mr. William Madong Mading as well as the Rumbek central county commissioner, Abraham Makoi Bol Kodi, who had contributed 1,000 Sudanese pound to both two teams' players.
He encouraged sport in Lakes state territory to discourage bad behaviors across the state and also affirmed that with sport activities in this state everyone, youth and elders, will be seen busy with a day sporting events rather than engaging in politics. "Sport can make a change in a second and your history will be well remembered," said the official.
Child fans gathered to cheer "down, down, down Zain team" whereas other fans of Zain team cheered saying "down, down Jamus team."
An 18-year old boy affirmed, "I am a supporter of Jamus because Jamus is a very strong animal, it is like we people of Rumbek." He challenged Zain team saying that Zain cellular network is always a bad network that usually tells callers that the number one is calling cannot be reached at the moment please try again later, while one is trying to reach a best friend about an important issue.
"We will defeat Zain team and let them try again or otherwise we will crush them down with AK47 and we will eat it," he concluded.
On the other hand, a 12-year old fan of Zain said, "I support Zain because without Zain network everyone will not get a good job and Zain in fact is good for security and safety; my mama usually informs me when there is danger going on in the town. Although I may be at school chatting with my friends, it is still like being at home talking to my relative," she said.
