More affordable acoustic guitar emulator from AAS

Play your chords on a MIDI keyboard

Strum Acoustic Session emulates nylon- and steel-stringed guitars.

Applied Acoustics Systems' Strum Acoustic GS-1 does a pretty reasonable job of emulating an acoustic guitar in software, but if it's a little out of your price range, you now have the more affordable Session version to consider.

This cutdown edition lacks some of its parent product's programmability, but is based on the same physical modelling engine. It emulates nylon and steel acoustic guitars and features a voicing module that automatically makes chords played on a keyboard sound like they were played on a guitar.

There are various strumming and picking options (you can also trigger the instrument using MIDI loops), while EQ and reverb modules are included, too.

Strum Acoustic Session is available now from the Applied Acoustics website for $99. It's Mac- and PC-compatible and supports the VST, Audio Units and RTAS plug-in formats.

Cadillac ATS wins 2013 'North American Car of the Year' title

By SYF77 on 16 Jan 2013

Attached Image

The 2013 Detroit Motor Show has started on a positive note for Cadillac as the ATS sedan has been named the North American Car of The Year by a jury of automotive writers. Finalists for the title include the 2013 Honda Accord and Ford Fusion sedans.

Attached Image

"This is a very meaningful honor for the entire Cadillac team, especially the men and women who build the ATS in Lansing, Michigan, and our dedicated and talented designers and engineers," said Bob Ferguson, GM vice president, Cadillac Global. "A car like ATS is the result of incredible commitment and focus. That's the only method for creating a great performing luxury car."

The Cadillac ATS is compact luxury sedan designed to take on the likes of the BMW 3-series and Audi A4. The ATS is offered with a choice of three engines, namely a 202bhp 2.5-litre, 272bhp 2.0-litre turbo and a 3.6-litre V6 with 321bhp. These engines are mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. A diesel engine will be available in the future.

The ATS is based upon General Motors' Alpha platform and is offered in either rear- or all-wheel drive configurations.

The Messiah Does Baseball Color Commentary

By | Tagged: beliefs

You don’t believe in the Messiah? You don’t think the Apocalypse is coming? As of yesterday morning, I’ll admit that I was skeptical as well. But now, I believe it is fair to say that former Major League Baseball player, Mike Blowers, is Moshiach.

But before I prove my point, let’s look at some of the pre-conditions. According to our article, “Modern Messianism,” the Messiah will not come on Shabbat. Good, because I believe he came on Sunday. Second, the rabbis believed the Messiah would come on the eve of Passover. Well, Sunday was Erev Yom Kippur, so I think it’s fair to say that the rabbis had the right idea, but got the wrong holiday.

Finally, according to Sotah 9:15, “In the footsteps of the Messiah, arrogance [chutzpah] will increase; prices will rise; grapes will be abundant but wine will be costly; the government will turn into heresy; and there will be no reproach.” That kind of sounds like today’s world, especially in this economy.

But what does this have to do with Mike Blowers? Watch this video and find out. I’m leaving work early today to start

    • For temporary protection of minor cuts, scrapes and burns.
    • Black and white ointment is a skin care product (much like vaseline or bag balm).
    • It is quite satisfactory as an emollient for the protection of the skin, but among root-workers it is more commonly utilized in the preparation of condition ointment or solid perfume.
    • For this purpose, a measure of black and white ointment is either blended with a condition oil applied to the skin, or it is used as the base in which to steep roots or herbs for a month, then heated and strained through cheesecloth to remove the residual vegetable matter, cooled, and allowed to harden again before being applied to the skin.
    • Condition ointments such as this are particularly popular among two-headed doctors who give clients a rub or massage as part of a healing or jinx-breaking treatment, especially when crossed conditions have resulted from the victim being poisoned through the feet.

Another Great Outlander Chat!

Thanks to everyone who came out to the chat tonight! Wow -  LOTS of people... over 20 chatting at one point... with 5 extra viewers, too!

Lots of good speculating... from what Jamie's reaction to Claire and Lord John will be... to whether Murtagh ever saw anyone besides Claire come through the stones... to whether Roger's dad may be in the 18th century.

What say you? Come to our next chat and let your Outlander voice be heard!

Outlander Chat Tonight!

Do NOT miss Outlander chat tonight!  We're stoked to discuss the new excerpts of The Exile found in the back of the new, very green, paperback copy of And Echo in the Bone. 9PM Eastern!

New Video: THE EXILE Excerpt from "An Echo in the Bone"

SPOILER ALERT: Dinna read unless you have read the 8 page excerpt from The Exile that appears in the back of the new, verra green, paperback version of An Echo in the Bone.

If you love Outlander AND Twilight...

In a way, isn't "The Exile" kindof like Twilight's "Midnight Sun"?

An Echo in Murtagh's Bone?

Did I see this at Costco today? Yes I did.

Did I open it? NO I DID  NOT.

Why? Because I promised Tracey I would not look until we BOTH get them on Thursday, which she now tells me might be Friday (nooooo!!!) so we can make a reaction/skype video.

I. Am. DYING to know what the Murtagh spoiler is! I have a hunch... because just this morning I listened to Claire signing the marriage contract and getting her dress on after having gotten stinkin' drunk the night before. (atta girl! Be just like one of those MEN!)

Here's my prediction:

Remember in Outlander when Claire got loaded and woke up the next morning with Murtagh standing at the foot of her bed??? I'm thinking maybe she made a drunken pass at him? Or maybe she told him she's from the future? Or maybe they HOOKED UP??? No way. Couldn't be. COULDN'T BE. But it's still fun to guess.

So... please... if I'm right - or wrong - DON'T TELL ME!! The video will be much better if Tracey and I are clueless... and I am enjoying the high I'm on whilst pondering this Murtagh fun.

PS - KAREN - do Tracey and I need to see the Murtagh spoiler AFTER the Exile excerpts in the new paperback Echo? If NOT, maybe we'll make a video later today while reading the Murtagh spoiler on Compuserve!

So Many Outlander Excerpts... So Little Time

WHAT was I thinking NOT pre-ordering The Green Slime - aka An Echo in the Bone -  in paperback?! I just ordered it - as did Tracey - and we will be making a Skype reaction video the second we see the new "Exile" excerpts. Hopefully this will be happening on Thursday... if Tracey gets her book from by then. (I use Amazon Prime, which I LIVE for, and will most assuredly have it by Thursday.)

AS FOR THE NEW MURTAGH SPOILER.... (Something tells me I will soon be saying "LORDDDDDD the new Murtagh spoiler!") Yes. I WILL read it SINCE it's a spoiler about Outlander... and not Book 8. (I will never, ever, ever, ever, EVER read a spoiler about Book 8. Never. Ever.)

Squeeee! I don't know what I'm more excited about! The Exile excerpts from the Graphic Novel...or the Murtagh spoiler!

Another Great Outlander Chat!

Thanks to all who came to the chat last night! I had a ton of fun, as usual.

If you've never been to a chat, I put 3 of 9 pages from last night's chat on a new "Chat" tab above. Check it out and let me know if you want to see more of the chat!

Monday, June 21, 2010

Chat tonight - 9PM Eastern, lassies! Hope to see you there! I'm enjoying the thrilling joyride that is "The Outlander Reread". My god, it's like crack! I'm loving it even more this time; and I've been LISTENING! Much to discuss!

Scottie Translator

My thanks to m'girl ANGELA who just got back from a Scottish festival and had a ScotTASTIC time! She also sent me this HILARIOUS Scottie Translator and I am giggling my goodies off. Check it out right after you check out my letter to Jamie in Scots-speak:

Hen jamie,

i loove ye. claire loves ye. wa ye messin aroond wi' leghair? she is a whiny wee beotch an' will only cause ye pain an' misery in life. stick tae th' sassenach. she's th' a body ye want.

Somebody get me the NAIR.

SPOILER ALERT:  MOST of this is about Outlander...but there is a Voyager reference.  I will post another alert before that sentence.

I finally did it. I caved and bought the Outlander audiobook, read by Davina Porter, and listened to it today. (Thanks so much anyway for your help, Angela!) I was headed to see my parents who live almost 2 hours away... and realized what a godsend Microsoft Sync is! The kids were happy with a DVD and I was happy with Davina.

OK maybe she didn't jump him. Maybe he pulled her tighter on his lap when he saw Claire. Fine. Whatevs.

No - NOT "WHATEVS"! I couldna STAND it! What is his DAMAGE??? What kind of childish game is he PLAYING with Claire? The night before, he hands LegHair Claire's empty wine glass and basically says "Here - do something with this, will ya?" (which made me tinkle).... before disappearing into Claire's bed chamber to strip to the waist and speak so poignantly about not wanting Alec to see his back... that Claire feels the need to play Chutes and Ladders with her wee fingers all over his back.... before sharing a laugh with him about their simultaneous saying of "goodbye". BUT THIS MORNING.... it's a totally different story! BENDING TO HIS WORK!!! SPOILER: (Forgot I'd heard that before - when he was bending to Geneva 2 books later! with none other than the wee-est HO in the land!)

Seriously folks - I don't get it. Yeah yeah - he's a guy - she's a girl - and a cute one at that. Gotcha. Comprehendo. But you're the guy who stood up and got the shit kicked out of you in order to save her the embarrassment when you hadn't even done anything wrong! That's some serious INTEGRITY right there. So how do you then go and make out with her a few days later??? Negating all the good you did! And after COMPLETELY BLOWING HER OFF the night before?!?

I dinna get it.

A few thoughts:

-- I think I figured out a big piece of the puzzle. I was listening to the part where Claire is listening to the stories from William at the castle, and Jamie is translating the Gaelic (you know, right after he switched placed with Claire, bumping Wee Ho to the other side of the bench. Oh how I HOWLED at that!!!) And Claire is thinking about the 200 years timeframe and how all the stories involve women going back 200 years... and coming back. I think we ought to research old stories. That may be the key to what is going to happen ultimate with Claire (will it be Ground Hog's Day and she'll keep going through the stones and finding Jamie?) ... why she went to the 18th century...  etc etc.

-- I'm surprised Diana didn't take advantage of Jamie's turning down the oath - and make LegHair flip out because it meant he's not a clansman in her clan. Alec said her father would never let her marry outside the clan. Well now Jamie is officially remaining "outside the clan". I would have liked to have seen her go apeshit on his ass. Claire took off (once Mrs. Fitz shoved her out the door! I love that!) and that's where I left off.

-- What do you think Geillis (who I still love, I'm sorry) wrote to Dougal (when she bullshited Claire and said it was her bill that had to go to no one but Dougal or she'd never get paid)? I know she had a relationship with Dougal and she could have been saying anything... but do you think maybe GEILLIS planted the bug in Dougal's ear that Jamie should marry Claire? It's pretty soon after that that Dougal drags them away and makes them get married. Maybe BJR just played into his hands and helped him further the cooked-up marriage along.  Just a thought.

-- How funny was the "under the table kicking incident" between Claire and Jamie after she caught him with Le'Ho? I was dying. And I love how he's all smug as if nothing happened and he can go back to being Mr. Manly Man "I Can Do Nothing Wrong". That incident really took him down a notch with me. I'm looking forward to his explanation because I canna remember exactly what he said. I'm thinking he said she just wanted to thank him or something... but that would be BS because she already did in the courtyard.

Riding the Roller Coaster with Jamie Fraser

SPOILER ALERT:  Dinna read unless you've read Chapter 8 in Outlander.

Still plugging along with the reread. And I'm dying.

Claire went to bring Jamie lunch (a-GAIN!) and fell asleep while he was talking to Alec. (Who does that? She's quite comfortable at Leoch, is she no?) I LOVE how Alec was all "and this lassie's bringin' ya wee lunch every day cuz she's diggin' your mojo" to Jamie and she sits herself up PROMPTLY so as not to hear them talk dirtily about her. I'm such an over-thinker that I'd probably do the same damn thing but honestly.. I'm thinkin' they'd have just switched to the gaelic if they wanted to talk that way about her. And it's not like it's The Exile or anything; she's not Chesty Deluxe in the regular version of Outlander.

Do you find during a reread that you feel like you're on a roller coaster? One minute I'm all up in Jamie's business and feeding him hunks of cheese... and the next I'm alone in the dreary surgery trying to figure out why there are belly buttons in jars. It's maddening. You just want to read at 90 miles an hour through those parts so you can get back to Jamie! You feel like you're back in high school and watching the clock like a hawk because you know the second the bell rings your boyfriend is going to meet you outside Spanish with Miss Sonzoni and walk you to World Cultures with Mr. Florez. And you get to flirt in the hallway for a few minutes... but then you have to go a whole hour without seeing him AGAIN.

And Alec? I'll thank ye to stop mentioning LEG HAIR in Jamie's presence, thankyeverymuch!!!!

Outlander vs Twilight Top Ten

This list from came in from My Outlander Purgatory reader "VilMarie" today. I cracked up (even though I will always love Edward Cullen!)

10. Heroine is not complimented on how delicious her blood smells. Instead, she is told that her ass looks like two ripe melons. Just what every woman wants.

9. When the hero has to rescue the heroine, he doesn't merely have to run at lightning speed across the parking lot. He actually has to travel halfway across the world, kill a few dozen villains, and blow up a few buildings.

8. But that doesn't matter because just as often the heroine can rescue her own damn self.

7. Pirates are WAY better than vampires.

6. The creepy, obsessive dude is an actual villain and not the hero of the story.

5. The denouement involves actual danger, as opposed to what essentially amounts to a Rainbow Gathering gone awry.

4. The doctor doesn't come off as a pedophile.

3. Not one single Renesmee in the entire series.

2. Nobody is sparkly.

1. People actually have sex, and lots of it.

Claire and Maidenform: Perfect Together

Um... Hi. Have you seen THIS new sneak peek of "The Exile" - the Outlander Graphic Novel???  The entire chat last night was spent discussing Chesty Deluxe - I mean Claire. WHAT is with the HUGE CHONGAS???? Does anyone know?? Why yes - Diana Gabaldon does.  (Thanks, Karen, for the link!) I'll give you a hint. It's, correction, THEY'VE been toned down already. And it IS a graphic novel... which is a comic at heart... and well, think of all the comics you've seen over the years. Wonder Woman? Yeah. Exaaaaactly.

Jamie Fraser: Lordddd the ReRead!

I read like a fiend on the beach today. Like a FIEND, I tell ya! So here's where I am:

Claire just left her little picnic with Jamie and is realizing she never looked at his shoulder / gunshot wound. Ugh. It's KILLING ME. I totally remember why I wasn't thrilled with Jamie (as if.... I feel almost blasphemous even SAYING that!) during the first read before they got married.  When Mrs. Fitzgibbons sent the wee dude to go find Jamie at the stables...and the wee dude came back and said Jamie said he was fine and didn't need to be seen?? UGH! I was so annoyed! James MacTavish - get your ASS up here and SAY HELLO, damnit!  And then when he stepped in for the wee ho, I was like "Ugh whatEVER Jamie. Yeah yeah - you're altruistic - whatevs - just hurry up and get ON with it so we can get back to some major cutesiness between you and Claire!"

(taking a deep breath...)

OK so Claire goes out to the courtyard to help Jamie after he gets his ASS beat... and there's all sorts of face-touching from Claire going on between ministrations from Mrs. Bug - whoops, I mean Fitz - and the leeches. LORDDDDD the leeches!! Gross - yet oddly fascinating, right?!  OK... soooo.... then - out comes THE WEE HO - and I'm thinking "UGH! HE DOESN'T LOVE YOU! HE LOVES ME!" in Liza Minelli's voice (think the movie "Arthur") and all I want is for Laoghaire to take her SORRY ASS back to wherever it is she came from. But nooooo...she's got to THANK him... and Claire steps aside to LET HER - in PRIVATE. Here's where knowing the story comes in handy: DON'T FRIGGIN DO IT, CLAIRE! I wanted to yell to her to stay RIGHT THERE and not let the wee ho have 5 SECONDS alone with Jamie. It was horrific. But there she went... and next thing we know it's the next morning, which means she has no CLUE what kind of THANKING the wee ho did. And make no mistake about it: she is a WEE HO -  of EPIC PROPORTIONS - or girlfriend wouldn't have gotten a serious PUNISHMENT from Colum!

Ooooh the reread has me in a FOUL mood - even after watching one of the greatest True Bloods of all time!!

I'd better go read more... STAT!

PS - Come to chat tomorrow!  I'll need to vent out some of this LEGHAIR FURY!

The British are Coming!

Whoa. Who watched the World Cup match between the US and England today? 1 - 1! Not too shabby!

The New York Post had the match on the front page and was calling it the Revolutionary War 2. How funny is that?? And of course you KNOW what it made me think of!

Outlander Reread: Chapter 4

SPOILER ALERT:  The following has a cryptic Echo reference...but it's a big DO NOT READ if you havena read Echo.

Oh boy. I've been reading. And it's soooo good. In some ways, a reread is better than the original read... because you just pick up SO MUCH MORE the second time around.

---Claire was NOT a virgin when she married Frank! I had no idea! Claire, you ignorant slut! How juicy. A couple months ago I'd have said it would be cool if one of Claire's previous conquests showed up in the 18th century. But that was before...nevermind.

---I miss Murtagh, who I had forgotten was "ferret faced".

---I miss the heavy Scots-speak in Outlander. "Yon wee stramash"... "dinna fash yourself"... "feisty wee bitch"...sigh. It was all so... so.... so SCOTTISH!

---I still say Frank is the reincarnated Jack Randall. Losing Claire was his retribution for everything he did to Jamie.  Karma, my friends... karma.

---Holy CRAP Jamie was funny in Outlander. "Let a stray bannock come within reach, though, and I'll no answer for the consequences."  HILARIOUS.

---The scene where Jamie is telling Claire about Jenny's run in with Black Jack Randall... and Claire stands there - hand on Jamie's shoulder - not because she's still fixing his shoulder, but because she doesna want to wake him from his reverie? Wow. Just... wow.

That's all for now, lassies.  I've got some more reading to do!

Tuesday, June 8, 2010

Whoops... Wrong Jamie Fraser!

Ever see a Facebook page and flip out in your head a little - until you read the fine print?

Because I just did.

PS - Remind me to use the word "gobshite" in a sentence about 80 times this week. Hilarious!

Scottish Festival, Anyone?

SPOILER ALERT: Contains info about the entire Outlander series.

Went to the Bonnie Brae Scottish Festival in Liberty Corner, New Jersey yesterday with Jenn M. and Shannon. Had a GREAT  time! We were like little kids in a candy shop. All giggly and embarrassed and full of "look over THERE!".  There were lots of things to buy, people to meet and vinegar fries to be eaten. (Wolfed down, really. They're so damn good.)

First we headed over to the Clan tents and searched for a Fraser tent (duh!) but - sadly - there was none to be found.  I was tres disappointed. But we DID find a tent for the Murray Clan and this lovely woman was kind enough to let us take her picture. We also checked out the Campbell tent  (a family which appears in Shannon's lineage) and they were verra lovely as well. Although some dude yelled out "I'm a MacDonald!" and I had a strange desire to back away slowly.

After that, we headed over to the merchandise tents where we made more than a few purchases. Jewelry... t-shirts... I even bought a Fraser hunting tartan scarf (come on, cold weather! Whoo hoo!) I also got a magnet for my hubby that boldly states "Up Your Kilt!" - a phrase he taught both of my children the second they were old enough to hold up their sippy cups and say loudly in whatever restaurant we were sitting in at the time.

Anyhoo.....while at these tables, we found a booth that sold swords and dirks. It. Was. So. Cool! Here we are, sampling the merchandise. I was a wee bit nervous about being near all this metal. And yet - it rocked.

The swords and dirks were totally cool and reminded me of Jamie  helping Roger pick out a sword with which to slit Stephen Bonnet from ear to ear.  (Must... read...scene...again!)

After that, we found our way to the historical area of the festival where we met reenactors dressed as members of the 42nd Royal Highlanders in the British army. (And there's Mrs. Bug in the background!) They were so great - gave us lots of good info - and will be doing a reenactment of the Battle of Monmouth on Saturday, June 19th in Freehold, NJ.

All in all - we had A GREAT TIME and I urge any and all of you who a) love the Outlander series and b) have a penchant for 18th century Scottish and American history - to find a day of Scottish Games in your area. You will learn a lot - you will meet some really great people - and pick up some really great things to take home. Trust me; you will NOT be disappointed!!

Bonnie Brae or BUST!

Sorry my reread has slowed down a bit. My neighbor wrote a screenplay... and was good enough to let me read it. It's fantastic, too... so I will be finished this weekend and will get right back to my Outlander reread.

OK so get this - Jenn M, Shannon and I will be going to the Bonnie Brae Scottish Festival tomorrow in Northern New Jersey and doing Diana Gabaldon proud. We're all VERRA excited... and I hope to get some good video while we're there. We plan to storm the clan table and get some good "Fraser" info/stuff. And speaking of stuff - I plan to stuff my pie hole with as much Scottish food as humanly possible (hold the haggis, please.) And if THAT weren't enough... there are sword/fencing demonstrations! Jamie Fraser and Dougal MacKenzie REPRESENT!!!

Soooooo.... I plan to have some good stuff for you this weekend, sassenachs. Stay tuned!

Physical Therapy FAQs

Get Answers To The Most Commonly Asked Questions About Physical Therapy

How is physical therapy used in the nonsurgical treatment of back and neck pain?

Your doctor has a number of options available in the treatment of spinal pain, prior to the final option of surgery. These include medications, injections, and physical therapy. Basically, there are three primary reasons to use PT.

Pain: Pain will cause spasms in the muscles surrounding the area. These spasms create additional pain and stress, which perpetuate the original pain in a cycle of events that must be broken. To break this “pain-spasm cycle” physical agents such as heat, cold, electrical stimulation, or ultrasound, are used. Once the cycle has been interrupted, more active therapy can be implemented. Pain reduction is an important component of physical therapy.

Loss of mobility: The underlying cause of the original pain can vary. Our physical therapists identify the tissue causing the restricted motion and “mobilize” (stretch) the tissues involved. Our therapists also teach patients how to mobilize themselves at home as well.

Loss of strength: Many back and neck problems have weakness in specific muscle groups as an underlying factor. These muscles must be addressed in order to gain normal movement and support to the region, as well as preventing future problems from occurring. For example, 50% of the support for the lumbar spine comes by way of the abdominal muscles. Lack of strength reduces this support and increases the risk for injury.

Muscle strength may also be lost in the arms or legs as a result of nerve root compression at the spine. After the nerve root compression is addressed, strength must be restored to the muscles involved. Again, your therapist works with you developing an exercise program tailored to your specific needs.

How do the therapists at PROMOTION PHYSICAL THERAPY work with my surgeon at Black Hills Neurosurgery & Spine?

Our therapists have worked in conjunction with your surgeon to design post-operative rehabilitation guidelines. If you are from out of town, our therapists forward these guidelines to the therapist within your area, and we are available to answer any specific questions your therapist may have when interpreting these guidelines. If you spend a night at the hospital, our therapists assess your mobility needs and begin some light post-operative exercises and education right away!

What is the difference between physical therapy and chiropractic treatment?

While physical therapy and chiropractic offer many of the same treatment tools, such as ultrasound, electrical stimulation, etc., their approach to mobilizing your spine can be different. Our therapists use mobilization techniques, specifically selecting the segment of the spine to move. Physical therapy regularly incorporates muscle re-education, strengthening, and stretching exercises as a way to maintain the mobility achieved through the manual treatment. Chiropractic and physical therapy can compliment each other in the treatment of spinal problems.

Why is it important to undergo therapy after spinal surgery?

Following surgery, pain, loss of motion, and strength may all be factors in preventing you from reaching the activity level you need to attain for work or recreation. Pain prior to surgery will result in loss of motion and strength of the structures around the spine (even though you may not notice it). Mobility and strength must be addressed after surgery, to prevent additional problems from developing. You may be up to 4 times more likely of developing a second disc problem if you have had surgery. Teaching you how to care for your back is also an important factor in reducing your chances of another surgery.

Do I need a prescription from my doctor in order to see a PT at PROMOTION PHYSICAL THERAPY?

While the state of South Dakota permits a patient to be evaluated and treated by a physical therapist, some insurance company policies may require a physician’s prescription in order to cover physical therapy. Please refer to your specific policy or call the number on your insurance card for details of your PT coverage.

How do I know when it is safe to return to work after an injury or after surgery?

After the pain has been reduced, your therapist will proceed with an exercise program tailored to meet your specific needs. Your goals for therapy will be developed depending on the type of activities you are going to return to. Sometimes, a work conditioning program will be implemented which bridges the gap between what your current abilities are and what you must be able to do when you return to work. These activities simulate the movements and forces required at work, but progress them gradually. Then, when you return to work you are less likely to injured. A functional capacity evaluation is often used to determine specifically what your capabilities and limitations are for performing work. We use the Physical Work Performance Evaluation (PWPE), a 4-hour test simulating all of the work activities from the Dictionary of Occupational Titles. This test is the only test available with built in validity measures and has been peer reviewed.

Does insurance cover physical therapy services?

Most insurance companies cover physical therapy. However, in this era of managed care, coverage usually has limitations. You can find out what these limitations are by referring to your policy or by contacting your insurance company. We have staff available to assist you in determining what insurance restrictions may apply.  We will track your visits allowed by your insurance company and let you know your remaining therapy sessions.

What is Postural restoration?

When pain or instability or particular overuse patterns are present in the body – the body will fall into faulty patterns and compensate or try to find stability by using incorrect muscle groups. This may involve areas that we do not directly relate to our pain regions. Postural restoration looks at the body as a whole to determine areas that are overused and what patterns a person has developed (both consciously and unconsciously). Patients are then taught how to shut off these patterns/muscle groups. They are then taught how to turn ON appropriate muscles to give them correct stability to correct the abnormal patterns, posture, and muscle imbalances that have development to allow the joints and muscles to work in a more effective and efficient manner.

With all the emphasis on public school funding, test scores and graduation rates, we sometimes fail to recognize one of the most important components in our education system — teachers.

Most of us have fond memories of at least one educator who impacted our lives, but have never really made the effort to thank them or let them know just how much they meant to us. The opportunity to do so just never presented itself.

I was fortunate to attend a moving ceremony recently at a North East Independent School District high school that not only honored the top graduating seniors, but the educators who helped get them there.

At this time of year, parents and extended family members are invited to countless award ceremonies, service organization inductions and graduations where the emphasis is always on the students, and rightly so. It's important to recognize students' achievement and inspire them on, but it was refreshing to attend an assembly where the message went beyond that.

Each senior was given an opportunity to bring his or her honoree on stage and, in about 50 words, tell the audience why the educator was special to the honored student. The district has been doing this since the mid-1990s, according to officials.

Most of the educators were high school teachers, but included in the mix were kindergarten teachers, a catechism instructor, a counselor and even a mom who had been her daughter's teacher in elementary school. Some of the teachers were honored by multiple students and were accompanied on stage by small clusters of seniors who each got to say something about the teacher and followed up with a group hug before walking off stage.

The students all had different reasons for the selections, but the universal message was that all these educators had taken the time to build relationships with the students and provided more than lessons from a textbook. One student told me her former algebra teacher, who has a graduating senior herself, burst into tears when she told her she wanted to recognize her at the ceremony.

This year, more than 650 teachers will be recognized by NEISD graduating seniors at ceremonies at the district's seven high school campuses.

During tough economic times, when classroom teachers, school staff and administrators are being asked to do more with much less funding, it is important to acknowledge the contributions they all make to the education of our children.

Teaching has never been a day job that ended when the dismissal bell rang. There have always been the after-school programs, exam preparation and the grading to contend with after-hours. In today's world with social media and easy access to learning platforms, such as edmodo, that allow students and teachers to connect over assignment problems after class, some teachers are continuously on the job.

One high school teacher I know tells of being out at Home Depot one school night and stopping in the middle of an aisle during her shopping to use her phone to answer a question one of her students had posted about the next day's assignment. That's dedication. It's difficult to put a price tag on that.

NEISD Superintendent Brian Gottardy noted the importance of acknowledging the work educators do with more than just a pay raise if we are to recruit and retain quality teachers for the long haul.

“When we recruit a quality professional we not only want them to have the knowledge, but they also need them to relate to the students. It's relationship building, we look for teachers with passion,” he said.

The quality of the teacher matters. The 685 NEISD students who honored their favorite educator this year can attest to that.

Ogbomosho-based prophet leads robbery gang

Less than a month after tying the nuptial knot with his heart-throb, an Ogbomosho-based prophet has been arrested for alleged armed robbery. Residents of the ancient Oyo State city were shocked when Prophet Tunde Adeyinka, who also double as prayer warrior, was apprehended by the police. The satanic cleric who belonged to a white garment church had wedded Bunmi on June 29, 2012, exactly 30 days before he was unmasked.

Crimewatch investigation revealed that Adeyinka until his arrest, headed a deadly eight-man gang that had been terrorizing Ogbomosho and its environs while also wreaking havoc on motorists on Lagos-Ibadan Expressway. The detectives that arrested the evil prophet from the Ogbomosho Area Command were led by Raimi Saka. When Adekinya’s office and home were searched, weapons including AK 47 rifles, dane gun, pump action rifles, and catridges were recovered. He allegedly prepared charms for members of his gang before going for any operation.

The charms were to protect them from bullets. The Area Commander for Ogbomoso, Pat Ezeani, told Crimewatch that they received several complaints that Adeyinka had allegedly duped many people which prompted the police to carry out the operation on July 29, 2012 when he was arrested. He said Adeyinka and his gang may have snatched different cars and killed three policemen in Ogbomoso and collected their AK 47 rifles. Explaining the operational method of the gang, he said that they would normally come from Abeokuta and assemble in Ogbomoso before operation.

The suspect, 34-year-old Adeyinka, said that he is a prophet in a church. “I go there and pray for people and I have my prayer office at Papa Ajao, Ogbomoso where I pray for people. “I am an armed robber and have got involved in many robbery operations in Ogbomoso , Sagamu and in Lagos. It was part of the money that I got from operations that I used to finance my marriage ceremony in June this year. “Whenever we want to carry out operation, I will tell my wife that I am going for night vigil and prayers. We have robbed several people in Ogbomoso and snatched cars and we sell them in Lagos. We have killed three policemen and snatched their rifles. “My family and that of my wife don’t know that I am a robber.

They all thought that I am a prophet. I deceived my wife that I am a prophet and she didn’t know that I am an armed robber,” he said. Adeyinka’s wife, Bunmi, said that she was going to church on July 29 when her husband called her that policemen had arrested him at his office and that when she got there, she saw him in handcuffs. “I didn’t understand what was happening until the Area Commander asked my husband to confess what he had done to me. My husband confessed to me that he is an armed robber and that he has an eight-man gang and that they used to rob in Ogbomoso, Sagamu and Lagos. I almost fainted.

We had courtship for good three years and I didn’t suspect that he was an armed robber,” she said. The Mohammed Tambari, Commissioner of Police, Oyo State said that the suspects were in police net and that his other gang members were being trailed . He said after the conclusion of investigation the suspect would be charge to court.

Some people have job titles that describe what they do in one word – Policeman, Maths Teacher. Others have more difficulty describing what they do, usually because they do lots of things.

If you are one of these multi-talented people and you are trying to decide what direction your website should take this free worksheet will help.

In describing what you do and what you are good at you can form the basis of your website’s structure. You can see what you want to include and what should be left out.

This is a 2 page downloadable PDF, the first page is the same as the image below and the second page is a blank template to start you off, though I find this is an exercise best done on a HUGE bit of paper.

APPLAUSE: Community support makes film a success

To the Editor,

I would like to thank all of the businesses and individuals who helped me make my latest film, Voices of the River, a reality both through financial contributions and volunteer efforts.

This is a local interest story about an important part of our environment and it needed local participation and support to make it happen.

I would like to thank the following individuals and businesses for major contributions to the film: Gary Prendergast, Daniel Hanneson, David Stanley, Ria De Vos, RBC, Mid Island Co-op, The Land Conservancy, Jim and Eva Manly, West Coast Helicopters, Vancouver Island Real Estate Board, Vancouver Island University, the VIU Student Union, Romper Room, Synergy Magazine, The Life House, Cindy Williams, Nanaimo and Area Land Trust and Coastland Industries.

There is also a long list of individuals who made smaller contributions and who are recognized in the credits of the film.

The Sept. 21 premiere, sponsored by Acme Food Co., the Thirsty Camel, Wild Play and Romper Room, was made successful with great media coverage, the help of a dozen volunteers and the entertainment provided by the talented musicians who donated music to the film’s soundtrack.

The event raised more than $1,200 for TLC, NALT and the Mid Island Sustainability and Stewardship Initiative – all organizations with an interest in stewardship of the Nanaimo River.

Paul Manly

State Securities Regulators Endorse Uniform Securities Act (2002)

CHARLESTON (January 6, 2003)  – State securities regulators at a special meeting of the North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA), Saturday, endorsed the new Uniform Securities Act (2002). The new Act modernizes the Uniform Securities Act of 1956 and conforms state law to recent amendments in federal securities laws.

The USA 2002 provides state securities regulators with substantial tools to protect investors, promotes uniformity among the states, and addresses recent technological innovations. NASAA President Christine Bruenn said, “This new Act promotes both investor protection and uniformity, and creates an opportunity for the majority of states to adopt an investor friendly uniform securities law. This would be a benefit to investors, regulators and financial services providers.”

A key component of the resolution was recognition that as an organization NASAA will encourage its members to seek uniformity of state securities laws but with an acknowledgement that its members “may have local provisions important to investor protection in their jurisdictions.” NASAA recognizes there are several paths to achieve uniformity, and as a membership organization, NASAA will respect those members with current strong statutes containing unique tools for investor protection.

NASAA worked closely with the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws (NCCUSL) and industry advisory groups at all stages of the drafting and adoption process. Notably, NASAA specifically endorsed language in the Act which would classify variable insurance products as securities.

Regulatory Preemption: Are Federal Agencies Usurping Congressional and State Authority?

Written Statement of the
North American Securities Administrators Association, Inc.
U.S. Senate Committee on the Judiciary

September 12, 2007

The North American Securities Administrators Association, Inc. (“NASAA”), is the nonprofit association of state, provincial, and territorial securities regulators in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.   The members of NASAA include the state agencies that are responsible for regulating securities transactions under state law.    Their fundamental mission is protecting consumers who purchase securities or investment advice, and their jurisdiction extends to a wide variety of issuers and intermediaries—many of them securities affiliates of banks—who offer and sell securities to the public.

NASAA believes that the trend toward preemption of state regulatory authority over the past fifteen years has exposed the public to a heightened risk of abuse at the hands of unscrupulous bankers, brokers, advisers, and insurance agents.  Today’s hearing is focusing on regulatory preemption and two recent regulatory actions are of particular concern to NASAA: Rule 7.4006 promulgated by the Office of the Comptroller (OCC), 12 C.F.R. § 7.4006, and the opinion letter issued by the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) on October 25, 2004.

Office of Comptroller of the Currency
In rule 7.4006, the OCC rule substantially amended the National Bank Act and insulated hundreds of state-chartered operating subsidiaries of national banks across the country from regulation under state banking laws.  A single federal agency in Washington, acting without a Congressional mandate, has thus determined that state banking laws enacted to protect consumers do not apply to national bank subsidiaries.

Congress did not intend such a result.  Although the National Bank Act restricts the power of states to regulate national banks, it imposes no restraints on the states’ authority over operating subsidiaries of national banks.  Congress has never expressly forbidden states from regulating bank operating subsidiaries, nor has it occupied the field of banking regulation to the exclusion of all state authority.  Moreover, the application of state consumer protection laws to national bank operating subsidiaries does not significantly interfere with the operation of national banks or their affiliates and thus does not conflict with federal law.

Regrettably, the federal courts have repeatedly upheld the validity of rule 7.4006—a trend that bodes ill for consumers.  See, e.g., Watters v. Wachovia Bank, N.A., 127 S. Ct. 1559 (2007).  The most immediate harm flowing from rule 7.4006 is that it shields operating subsidiaries of national banks from the application of state banking laws that provide consumers with significant protections against abusive lending practices, particularly in the area of mortgage loans.  NASAA harbors an additional concern: As the worlds of banking, insurance, and securities increasingly intersect, NASAA and its members fear that the OCC may seek to encroach further upon state regulatory jurisdiction, not only in banking, but potentially in the areas of insurance and securities as well.  National banks have already invoked the OCC’s visitorial powers rule to impede investigations by state securities regulators relating to the securities activities of banks and their subsidiaries, even though such investigations are unquestionably permitted under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA).

In short, OCC Rule 7.4006 constitutes an impermissible attempt by a regulatory agency to expand the preemptive scope of a federal statute in derogation of Congressional intent.  The result is less consumer protection.  Consumers are best served when regulators at the federal and state level work together to ensure not only the safety and soundness of the banking system, but also the fair and equitable treatment of banking customers.

Office of Thrift Supervision
In an opinion letter issued on October 25, 2004, the OTS concluded that state licensing and registration requirements do not apply to independent contractor agents who market deposit and loan products on behalf of State Farm Bank, a federal savings association (State Farm).  The letter claims that these agents are exempt not only from state banking laws but also from state securities laws requiring the licensure of those who sell securities.  This interpretation applies to agents selling all types of certificates of deposits (CDs) on behalf of State Farm, regardless of whether or not those products are fully insured by the FDIC and regardless of how complex or risky they may be.  The OTS opinion letter is particularly troubling since it preempted an important body of state law without first being subject to the public comment and hearing process.

Once again, a federal banking agency exceeded Congressional authority.  The Home Owner’s Loan Act, under which the OTC operates, nowhere expressly or impliedly preempts the application of state law to State Farm’s agents marketing CDs.  Furthermore, although federal case law holds that conventional CD products do not constitute securities, the issue is far from settled with respect to unconventional CDs that pose heightened risks because of their inherent features or the way in which they are marketed.

Early indications are that the federal judiciary will side with the OTC.  See State Farm Bank, F.S.B. v. Burke, 445 F. Supp. 2d 207 (D. Conn. 2006).  Thus, as in the case of OCC rule 7.4006, it appears the only way to ensure that American investors and consumers are adequately protected from abusive practices in the financial services arena is for Congress to reign in these banking agencies and clearly delineate the appropriate role for state regulation.

Because of the potential risk to investors, states securities regulators should retain the right to require independent sales agents acting on behalf of State Farm or similar banking associations to become licensed with their state securities regulator in order to sell CD’s.  State licensing requirements add a significant layer of protection by screening out agents who are unfit by reason of training, education, or disciplinary history to market securities.

Where Congress has left room for the application of state law to financial institutions, federal regulatory agencies should not be permitted to “preempt” Congress’s judgment.  The public needs the protections that state law offers.  From NASAA’s standpoint, this approach is especially important in the area of securities regulation.  In keeping with the modern regulatory approach known as functional regulation, state securities regulators assert their jurisdiction based principally upon the nature of the financial activity involved, not the nature of the entity engaged in that activity.  Accordingly, with certain exceptions, bank entities offering securities to the public are subject to state securities regulation, along with more traditional broker-dealers and their registered representatives.  Congress intended states to exercise this regulatory authority for the benefit of our nation’s investors and consumers.

Recent developments have given the members of the Squannacook Greenways, who are planning a 5-mile recreational-use path along the former rail line between Groton and Townsend, plenty of encouragement. Proposed legislation, a new board member and a potential grant that would start the fundraising ball rolling all mark forward progress.

Currently, only municipalities can receive state money for rail-trail construction. Sens. Eileen Donahue and Jennifer Flanagan filed a petition in January to allow nonprofit groups to access the funds. Rep. Sheila Harrington filed in the house, board member Bill Rideout said.

If the legislation is passed, the basic idea is the state will pay for half of the environmental insurance, approximately $50,000, required for construction, Rideout said, "We can cut out $25,000 in fundraising."

"We just really appreciate the effort. They've all backed us really strongly," he said. The legislation is needed because the Squannacook River Rail Trail is unique. It will be built on land owned by the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, leased to the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and built and maintained by the nonprofit group.

"We've been talking to DCR for about three years," Rideout said. The two groups came to a verbal agreement last year and are waiting for a final agreement. "They've got their lawyers involved," he said.

Townsend Fire Chief Don Klein spoke in favor of the proposed rail trail at the last Town Meeting. When a board position became vacant, the greenways approached him to join.

He agreed, and became the first Townsend municipal official in the group. Two Groton officials, a selectman and a member of the conservation commission are already part of the group.

"I told them I was very much in support. It's very much needed in the community," Klein said, "There's no place for people to walk, ride a bike or jog safely in the community. Most of the roads are heavily traveled. We don't have adequate sidewalks."

He and his wife have biked on trails and found them to be a very safe environment. "I would look forward to being able to use it in my own backyard," he said.

The Fire Department recently purchased an off-road ambulance that can be towed by an all-terrain vehicle or a snowmobile with a grant from the Community Foundation. The department requested the funds because it performs rescues on state land; the ambulance could also be used on the proposed stone-dust rail trail.

Squannacook Greenways has also applied for funds from the Community Foundation. The grants focuses on the health of children, Rideout said. "It's close to many neighborhoods in town. Kids can use it without parents having to drive them there," he said, "This is what we feel is a unique aspect."

Once the group gets a signed agreement with DCR, they will be off and running, beginning the permitting process, raising funds and meeting with abutters, Rideout said.

Nutrition & Physical Activity

Taking Care of Yourself During Treatment and Beyond

It's important for you to take very good care of yourself before, during, and after cancer treatment.

  • Taking care of yourself includes eating well and staying as active as you can.
  • Do your best to eat the right amount of calories to maintain a good weight.
  • Adequate protein can help to keep up your strength.

What if I don’t feel well enough to eat much of anything?
Eating well may actually help you feel better and have more energy. Sometimes, especially during or soon after treatment, you may not feel like eating. Some treatments can leave you feeling tired and uncomfortable. Or you may find that some foods don't taste as good as they used to.

In addition, the side effects of treatment (such as poor appetite, nausea, vomiting, or mouth blisters) can make it hard to eat well. On the other hand, some women treated for breast cancer may have a problem with weight gain.

Your doctor, a registered dietitian, or another healthcare provider can suggest ways to help you meet your nutrition needs and remain as close to a healthy weight as you can.

Is it okay to continue to exercise during breast cancer treatments?

Yes, as long as your doctor okays your physical activity. Many women find that they feel better when they stay active. Walking, yoga, swimming, and other activities can keep you strong and increase your energy. Exercise may reduce nausea and pain and make treatment easier to handle. It also can help relieve stress. Whatever physical activity you choose, be sure to talk to your doctor before you start.

Also, if your activity causes you pain or other problems, be sure to let your doctor or nurse know.

Can a tiny ocean organism affect weather around the world? Kakani Katija dives into the emerging field of biogenic ocean mixing for answers. She’s exploring the external power sources that propel the perpetual motion of oceans. Winds and tides have long been known to drive currents circulating within the ocean. But as Katija’s evidence increasingly shows, the movements of swimming animals could have an equally powerful effect.

Our ever-undulating seas play a huge role in global climate systems by transferring heat back and forth from the Equator to the Poles. If this watery “conveyer belt” of heat were to stop, extreme climate changes would occur. The continuous mixing of seawater also serves other key purposes. “Ocean water is stratified from top to bottom with a wide range of different temperatures, salinities, and pressures,” Katija describes. “Ocean mixing acts as an essential delivery system, carrying oxygen and nutrients from one layer to another, literally sustaining life as we know it.”

Sea creatures, from the miniscule to the monumental, may influence mixing to a surprising degree.

Katija admits that “when people compare the size of a fish, to the huge depth and volume of Earth’s oceans, it’s hard to believe something so small could ever affect something so large.” A background in engineering and mechanics made her skeptical as well. “But through fieldwork and lab experiments we’ve identified mechanisms to explain how animals swimming in concert could indeed affect things on a much larger scale. Some of our findings show this impact may be the same magnitude as winds and tides.” It seems strength lies in numbers. Smaller creatures make up a large percentage of the total biomass in oceans, in many cases numbering thousands per square meter. Lab measurements show that swarms of tiny krill or copepods may in fact have the greatest potential of all to mix fluids. “We want to know where these big populations are located, how they act together to shape mixing, and what happens when whole populations migrate simultaneously in the same direction.”

To discover the answers, Katija hopes to study everything from jellyfish traversing a Pacific island’s saltwater lake, to migrating krill swarming a Canadian inlet. “I prefer the tropics, since more often than not, I’m the one who gets in the water,” she comments. Katija and the biologists she works with record and measure the flow of water around animals using fluorescent dyes and a sophisticated underwater laser-video camera system the team developed.

Katija’s research could provide important new reasons to protect endangered sea life since, while winds and tides are renewable, animals are not. “The decline and collapse of fisheries may have already severely changed the amount of biogenic energy animals can contribute to mixing our oceans,” she warns. “Our data could underscore the need for drastic conservation measures.”

The team’s deep-sea observations could also help engineers craft new bio-inspired designs on land. “We spend a lot of time examining how animals’ shapes and swimming mechanisms affect propulsion as they move through the water. Biomechanics research shows that biological propulsion is often more efficient than anything humans engineer.”

So what can we learn from swimming animals and apply to our own designs? One major automobile manufacturer has already created a concept car based on boxfish, a species known to have great structural strength and maneuverability but extremely low mass, flow resistance, and drag. The sea is swimming with other ideas: jellyfish that can feed and move simultaneously, squid that employ a complex interaction of jet propulsion and fins, and tuna that set speed records with their aerodynamic body planforms. Perhaps most amazing of all is a one-millimeter-long copepod shown to be the world’s strongest, fastest mechanical system. In relation to its size, the tiny shrimp-like organism is ten times stronger than any other animal or motorized system thanks to two independent propulsion mechanisms and an extremely hydrodynamic shape.

Katija’s academic background in aeronautics might have propelled her to explore heights rather than depths. “My collaborators took a real gamble bringing in an engineer. Coming in to this world of oceanography from the outside, what struck me most is how little we know about our seas, the processes driving them, and the animals they contain. I know of scientists who conduct marine life surveys and identify new species every time they go out on a dive. My work is just beginning to peel away the outer layer of what might be important to the state of our oceans. We’ve explored only a sliver of our seas. They’re really our final frontier here on Earth.”

In Their Words

“The creatures in our seas could be as important to ocean circulation and global climate as the winds and tides. Learning more about this animal-ocean dynamic is critical to the future.”
