Earlier this year Goop posted an advice article on its website from fitness guru Tracy Anderson, and the story recently resurfaced as some fans and nutritionists (such as Rhiannon Lambert, who expressed "complete shock" that it was published) reacted negatively to its message and headline
The article—titled "Tracy Anderson on How to Lose Weight Fast"—offered Anderson's recommendations on how to "effectively do a fourteen-pound weight loss in four weeks," granted "if you have weight to lose."
While Paltrow has not directly commented on the controversy, a representative for Goop released a statement to E! News.
"We would never advocate for an unhealthy diet or extreme routine," the statement said. "As Tracy said in the interview, you should make choices based on what is best for your individual body."
A spokesperson for Anderson on Wednesday also addressed the article.
"Over the course of her 20-year career, Tracy has consistently practiced owning a 1 to 2 lb. weight loss per week when someone has unhealthy weight to lose. Owning a 1-2 lb. weight loss per week is different than simply dropping 1-2 lbs. per week, which causes people to hold onto unhealthy weight. Of the 14 lbs. that someone could effectively lose in a month—if they have excess weight on them—the goal is to own 8 lbs. of that, which is aligned with Tracy's practice of not living on extreme diets," the spokesperson told E! News. "Tracy does not advocate for processed foods existing in a healthy diet."

Oklahoma City University News
Health Matters: Guest Speaker to Share Advice
One of the world’s leading experts on human health will speak Oct. 1 at Oklahoma City University.
Dr. Andrew Weil, a specialist in integrative medicine, will give a public presentation sponsored by the INTEGRIS Health James L. Hall, Jr. Center for Mind, Body and Spirit at 7:30 p.m. in OCU’s Henry J. Freede Wellness and Activity Center at N.W. 27th Street and Florida Avenue.
Weil has been a guest on “Oprah,” “Good Morning America,” “The Today Show” and NPR’s “Fresh Air” for his unique and extensive knowledge on health and wellness. His work as a physician has had a revolutionary impact on the practice of medicine.
Weil is preparing for the release his new book, “Why Our Health Matters: A Vision of Medicine That Can Transform Our Future,” in September.
“The Oklahoma City community has an opportunity to hear some profound things about their health from one of the greatest experts in medicine,” said Harbour Winn, co-chairman of the OCU Distinguished Speaker series. “Dr. Weil can change the way people view the importance of healthy living.”
Weil is the director of the Program in Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona’s College of Medicine. The program was the first to include courses on alternative therapies, mind/body interactions, healing and other subjects not currently emphasized in medical education.
According to Weil, the process of aging is a biological fact — anti-aging remedies cannot reverse the physical changes that come with growing older. He believes people can age with grace and offers insights as to how they can delay the onset of age-related disease and discomfort, and what to expect life spans to be like in the future.
He received his doctorate from Harvard Medical School in 1968. After completing a medical internship he worked with the National Institute of Mental Health, then wrote his first book, “The Natural Mind.”
As an Institute of Current World Affairs fellow, Weil traveled widely in the Americas and Africa collecting information on drug use in other cultures, medicinal plants and alternative methods of treating disease.
He publishes a monthly newsletter, “Dr. Andrew Weil's Self-Healing,” and has his own Web site, DrWeil.com. He is also a columnist for Prevention and Time magazines. He was named one of “the world’s 100 most influential people” by Time magazine.
The OCU Distinguished Speaker Series is co-sponsoring the Oklahoma City presentation. For more information call (405) 208-4956.

View: 3096Cleverly marketed by their original manager as the bad boys of rock, the Rolling Stones have survived dalliances with the devil, drug busts, and the death of founding member Brian Jones to become the world’s longest-running rock and roll band. Led by partners-in-crime Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, the Rolling Stones have had No. 1 hits, released classic albums, broken box office records, and literally changed the world. All too often, however, books on the Rolling Stones glimmer with gossip instead of shimmering with facts about the band’s music. The Rolling Stones FAQ presents these musical facts in a fast-moving, fan-friendly read. The five incarnations of the Rolling Stones are highlighted with in-depth explorations of the band's hit records, albums, films, and tours. The band's story is told not only through the biographies of the eight men to each be called a Rolling Stone, but also through the stories of session men, producers, managers, artists, girlfriends, and wives who have contributed to the enduring, yet controversial, success of the Rolling Stones.

Why more contact may increase cultural polarization
Following Axelrod's model of cultural dissemination, formal computational studies of cultural influence have suggested that more contact between geographically distant regions may increase overall cultural homogeneity and reduce societal polarization. In the present paper, we show that two plausible modifications of Axelrod's original mechanism turn the effect of range of communication upside-down. We assume a continuous rather than a nominal state space and we add the negative side of social influence, heterophobia and rejection. Computational analyses of the resulting model demonstrate that now a larger range of contact can increase rather than decrease the extent of polarization in the population. Further experiments identify the window of conditions under which the effect obtains.

How can you bring your message into the world?
Growing Older at Any Age
Where & when:
Thursday, 24th 12:00-14:00
Saturday, 26th 12:00-14:00
How can you bring your message into the world? – A journey into visibility from all 4 perspectives
We all wish that people grow into higher levels of development because we believe that this can resolve many problems we are facing in the world today. We have gained many insights and developed practices which can help our own development and that of others. We are passionate in our attempt to tell others about what we have discovered and we hope that they get ignited by what we share and that they get inspired and supported in their own growth process.
Some of us are connected with “established” platforms and succeed to be heard and seen by a larger audience but most of us are struggling to find participants for the next workshop or readers for our last paper or post.
I will talk about my own experience as an example for the journey into visibility, about the motivation and inspiration, about the stages of development. I will also share knowledge about the resources which I have gathered along the journey and offer my assistance to become visible and find a channel for being noticed.
Growing Older at Any Age
Aided by still slides from our many video interviews (full guest list at TheWisdomFactory.net) we explore what growing older is revealing itself to be, a process that begins in the womb and continues sometimes smoothly, sometimes not, throughout life. Some changes are “simply” biological (birth, puberty, menopause, etc.), others happen within a supportive (or not!) social context.
While huge additional numbers of older than 65’s (“traditional” retirement agers) not only change the economics of pensions and medical care, we now know that as a group, older people are generally happier than younger people (not at all what the young project!) Residential arrangements go far beyond the traditional retirement “communities” or the not yet extinct “warehousing” approaches of many public facilities. Rather, the elderly are now a political bloc who actually VOTE, demanding a mature say in how they will live rather than accepting the designs of young bureaucrats. Can we live to 150 or more

Nyong’o plays Ayira, a waitress hustling to rise up the social ladder — and we do mean hustling. The series was part of MTV Kenya’s Staying Alive Ignite! initiative, a series of shows and announcements that tried to take sex in the age of the African AIDS crisis seriously.

Choosing the Best Dog Food
When choosing the best dog food there are some things you should consider the quality of the ingredients.
A high-quality dog food should contain high-quality proteins like fresh meat, poultry or fish. These kinds of protein are much easier for dogs to digest than plant protein.
The most reputable pet food brand will provide your furry friend with the necessary nutrients they require to remain healthy and content. That means making sure they’re high in protein, low on fat, high in protein, and full of fiber. Additionally, be sure that there aren’t any ingredients in the food that cause reactions in dogs with sensitive stomachs or food allergies.
Meat or poultry is the main ingredient in a healthy dog food that provides the dogs with protein and the fuel they’ll need. Additionally, it contains essential nutrients for playing and active times such as minerals and vitamins to help aid in the maintenance of coat, skin, and bones.
Purina ONE is an ideal choice for pet owners looking for an affordable diet that includes all the ingredients that dogs require. The recipes are developed by experts in the field of dog nutrition, and offer recipes tailored towards different life stages as well as health issues and breeds.
SmartBlend Dry Dog Food is an ideal option for puppies and older dogs as it contains quality proteins and fiber that help to promote fullness and a healthy body weight. Plus, it includes various antioxidants and vitamins to ensure your dog is healthy and contented.
This brand is distinct from other dog food brands that are available, as their formulas don’t contain any fillers. This is an enormous benefit for pet parents who want to minimize the potential for your dog’s stomach to be adversely affected by added ingredients.
Protein is also abundant the formula which can be beneficial to active dogs who need to be strong and fit. This is particularly true of puppy formulas that tend to have more protein than adult formulations.
Another reason we love this brand is their openness regarding their practices for sourcing. All ingredients are sourced in from US farm and they are subjected to a rigorous quality control program.
Blue Buffalo is a well-known brand that makes use of only natural ingredients and custom formulas for different phases of your pet’s life. They work closely with veterinarians as well as animal nutritionists when developing their products, which come in various sizes and ages particular varieties that are appropriate for puppies, adults, and senior dogs alike.
Blue Buffalo’s food is made from real meat as the first ingredient. They don’t use artificial flavors, preservatives, corn, wheat, or chicken by-product meal within their recipe. Instead, they use the exact combination of vitamins and antioxidants formulated by holistic veterinarians and animal nutritionists for the greatest nutritional value.
For instance, BLUE’s Life Safety Formula(r) Food for dogs uses DHA and ARA – essential fatty acids in mother’s milk – to support the development of the retina and brain health. Plus, it has the minerals chelated to ensure easy absorption.
Another important ingredient in this food is barley, which offers high-quality fiber and antioxidants. It’s also a great source of complex carbohydrates, which can help balance your pet’s diet.
It’s also a fantastic supply of Omega 3 and 6 fats that promote healthy coats and skin. Studies have linked these nutrients to various health benefits, like helping to prevent heart disease and cancer.
Furthermore, this recipe has a high concentration of antioxidants that fight free radicals, and improve the dog’s immune system. Additionally, the low-calorie recipe helps you manage your pup’s weight better.
Before you switch your dog’s eating habits from Blue Buffalo to Blue Buffalo, be sure to consult your veterinarian first as some dogs may require more time than others to adjust to the change in food. We suggest gradually transitioning your pup’s meals over a period of several weeks to ensure the greatest success.
This food is great for pets who are overweight as it is a low-calorie formula that can help manage your dog’s weight. In addition, it contains the highest quality protein as well as essential amino acids that help strengthen muscles. Furthermore, antioxidants included in this food help to maintain an immune system that is healthy and also help improve the health of your coat and skin. Furthermore, its protein profile includes taurine – an amino acid that can increase the strength of heart muscle.
IAMS is a well-known company that supplies high-quality dry food to dogs of all breeds, sizes and the stages of life. The formulas they use are made for the specific nutritional requirements of dogs with various food preferences and ailments.
They have a wide line of health products, including food for specific ailments that can impact your pet. This could include recipes to aid in weight loss, hairball control and the health of your urinary tract.
IAMS offers a range of dry dog foods as well as wet formulations in pouch or canned forms that are convenient for pet parents to prepare and store. These recipes are available with a variety of flavors to satisfy the individual needs of your dog.
A diet that is low in fat and high in protein is among the best ways to keep your dog happy and healthy. Iams has a wide variety of recipes that have high protein content that can aid in preventing diseases and improving the energy levels of your pet.
This recipe uses real chicken as the primary protein source and adds chicken meal and beef fat to provide additional nutritional benefits. In addition, it contains canola meal and cassava root flour to help keep the carbohydrate consumption low.
Dog owners looking to avoid corn or wheat in their pet’s diet must consider this product. However, the other ingredients aren’t particularly impressive as well – this formulation contains artificial colors and animal by-products as well.
Iams has been accused of animal cruelty from PETA (People Concerned about the Humane Treatment of Animals), but has since implemented changes to the way it conducts animal testing. In addition, they have instituted a Quality Assurance program for their suppliers that includes multiple audits.
All in all, Iams dog food is an ideal choice for those looking for high-end and affordable alternatives. Its high protein content is a major advantage as is the fact that the company has earned a great reputation for customer service.
Iams is around for decades and is a reliable brand that produces low-cost pet food at an affordable price point. Additionally, the company has an in-house quality assurance program to guarantee all items meet the highest standard that is possible. Additionally, there are various varieties of kibble that are suitable for different dimensions and stages of life offered by Iams.
Pedigree’s pet food is one of the most sought-after brands on the market due to its competitive prices and extensive nutritional content. Not only does it contain all the essential ingredients a dog needs to maintain good health however, Pedigree also has some impressive testimonials from customers who are satisfied.
Pedigree has been in operation for over 60 years, offering a wide variety of items to select from. Certain products are made using premium meats while others are free of grains.
PEDIGREE dry kibble provides your dog with vital nutrition for healthy living, and is filled with antioxidants that provide immunity help. Additionally, it has a high level of omega-6 fatty acids that nourish skin and coats.
However, some of the Pedigree’s dry kibbles may contain high levels of corn gluten that could cause harm to your dog. It is a risk to cause skin irritations and allergic reactions Therefore, it’s important to verify the ingredients on the label prior to purchasing.
Dry kibbles from Pedigree contain a high level of sodium selenite, an selenium that is not chelated, which can be hard for your dog to take in. In addition, some minerals found in Pedigree dry kibbles appear not to be chelated making them more difficult for your dog to take in and digest.
Additionally, some Pedigree wet kibbles are laced with lots of animal fat, which can make it difficult for your pet to digest. The fat is usually preserved with BHA, an additive most pet parents try to avoid.
Also, some Pedigree wet food formulations could contain small pieces of metal. Although this was a concern for some in 2014 it didn’t cause any dog injuries or illnesses.
Pedigree provides a variety of dog food to choose from, including dry and wet options. Additionally, their website offers an helpful tool that makes figuring out your pup’s nutritional needs much simpler; simply create a profile and get suggestions via email.

San Francisco Bay Area metal titans MACHINE HEAD, will release their highly anticipated new album »Catharsis« on January 26 via Nuclear Blast Entertainment. Today, the band has released the live video for the song ‘Now We Die’ from the bonus DVD (21 song live concert filmed live at The Regency Ballroom, San Francisco, CA, 2015) of the limited edition of their upcoming album »Catharsis«.
The brand new track from the album entitled ‘Beyond The Pale’, can be heard here
The band recently started a competition in which they encourage their fans to come up with a music video for said track. Surf to http://nuclearblast.com/mh-beyondthepale for all details.
“I feel like metal could really infiltrate the mainstream with this album. And it needs to… now more than ever. A lot of consideration went into making these songs more identifiable to a wider audience. Simplifying ideas, simplifying hooks, really concentrating on story-telling as opposed to ‘brutal poetry’ or whatever. And while I’d love to say it was all some grand plan, there was no ‘plan’” Flynn adds laughing. “You never know where you’re going to end up whenever you start writing a record… you just write… but I tell ya what… we ended up with a landmark here.
Whenever you finish an album, you always feel proud, but this time… we’ve got something really special. We can feel it. We know it. »Catharsis« could really elevate our genre.”
»Catharsis« was produced by Robb Flynn and recorded, mixed, and co-produced by Zack Ohren (FALLUJAH, ALL SHALL PERISH) at Sharkbite Studios in Oakland, CA. Mastering was handled by Ted Jensen (HATEBREED, ALICE IN CHAINS, DEFTONES) at Sterling Sound, New York, NY. Cover photography was created by Seanen Middleton.
To pre-order »Catharsis« in various formats (CD, Digipak, CD-Digi + DVD + 2LP, Digital) visit this location: https://caroline.lnk.to/Catharsis
To purchase or stream ‘Beyond The Pale’, go to: http://nblast.de/MHBeyondThePale
MACHINE HEAD wrapped up the touring cycle for their first Nuclear Blast Entertainment album »Bloodstone & Diamonds« in March 2016 with a whopping 283 concerts on 5 different continents around the world. Around 250 of those shows were performed as “An Evening With MACHINE HEAD” with no support bands and performances often lasting 2 1/2 to 3 hours in duration, much to their fans (called “Head Cases”) delight.
Three tours of the United States (with many dates sold out in advance), three tours of The U.K. / Europe, (including multiple dates in Russia and Greece), shows in Mexico and South America, a completely sold out run of 9 Australian / New Zealand shows, sold out dates in Japan, plus their first ever plays in Taiwan and Thailand, and all without any festival performances which the band publicly announced they would stop performing at in 2014.
»Bloodstone & Diamonds« debuted at #21 on the U.S. Billboard charts and has gone on to sell 285,000 copies worldwide.
MACHINE HEAD‘s latest track ‘Is There Anybody Out There?’ released as a stand-alone, digital-only, non-album release became their #2 most streamed song ever on Spotify with 9 million streams in less than a year, and cracked the Top 40 on the Active Rock chart in the United States. It marks the first time for any Nuclear Blast artist to enter what is widely considered to be the “official rock chart” for the United States, and is significant considering there was no physical track sent to retail.
Their controversial video for opening track ‘Now We Die’ is at over 2 million views and can be seen here.


Barrel twist rate is a very important spec that directly impact a bullet's flight performance. The best twist rate for 5.56 in a 16 barrel is 1:9 for bullets weighing between 40 to 62 grain.
The other two popular twist rates are 1:8 and 1:7.
1:8 twist rate is best for medium weight 5.56 in the range between 62 to 77 grain
1:7 twist rate is best for heavy bullets in the range between 69 to 87 grain. Often found on guns like MK18, M16A4 for example.
For the common 55 grain bullets, the 1:9 twist rate is the best on the market. If you occasionally do competition shooting and you need slightly heavier 62 grain bullets to knock down steel targets, the the 1:8 twist rate is better.
How Does The Twist Rate Affect Ballistics
The barrel twist rate is usually described as a ratio, like 1:8. This means the bullet does one full spin for every 8 inches it travels inside the barrel. In addition, different barrel length can also be a huge factor.
So, if you have a 16-inch barrel with a 1:8 twist rate, the bullet will spin twice before it leaves the gun. On the other hand, an 18-inch barrel with a 1:6 twist rate makes the bullet spin three times.
It's all about how bullets spin as they fly, which is key for their accuracy and stability. Imagine throwing a football - the spiral helps it go straight and far. It's similar with bullets.
The more spins a bullet makes before exiting the barrel, the better its stability and accuracy when it hits the air. It's like giving the bullet a steadier path to follow.
AR15 Barrel Twist Rate VS Bullet Weight
This is an engineering balancing act at the end of the day.
Optimizing Twist Rate
When you dive into the debate about rifle barrel twist rates, you'll find two main perspectives. Some folks argue that the weight of the bullet is the key factor in deciding the best twist rate, while others emphasize the length of the bullet as the primary consideration. Both viewpoints have merit, and understanding them can really enhance your shooting experience.
Heavier bullets need a good bit of force to keep them flying straight, especially when you're aiming for distant targets. To help these hefty bullets maintain a straight path and be more aerodynamic, adding spin is the best thing a firearm can do without changing the round.
But if you're using lighter ammo, something like 50 grains or lighter, a 1:9 twist rate should do the job nicely.
Nowadays, you have these newer, lightweight bullets made from materials like copper and zinc. These bullets are designed to be extra long, matching the weight of their lead counterparts. The catch is, these longer bullets often need a faster twist rate to stay stable and accurate in flight.
Whether you're considering the weight or the length of the bullet, the goal is the same: to achieve the best stability and accuracy for your shots.

Some interesting news coming out of TNA, as Bellator has now announced that Bobby Lashley will be making his MMA debut for their company in September. The current world heavyweight champion is scheduled to fight against veteran Josh Burns at the Mohegan Sun Arena. The belief is that Spike heavily pushed to make this happen as Bellator and TNA are two of their top performing brands.
July 16, 2014
In a really interesting move, WWE is looking to hire a body double for Sting, so that they can film some sort of stunt for the upcoming DVD about the legendary WCW star. While many fans are clamoring for Sting to finally make his debut in WWE, the belief is that the two sides have only come to an agreement on a contract to produce content and merchandise.
June 9, 2014
While WWE was severely disappointed with the fact that the previous episode lost viewers, management is extremely pleased that Total Divas drew in big numbers. The season finale, which featured the much anticipated wedding of Daniel Bryan and Brie Bella, drew in more than 1.5 million viewers. The third season has already been renewed and will make its debut this upcoming fall.
June 3, 2014
Things change pretty rapidly backstage in WWE, and that appears to be the case with the Adam Rose push. While he might still get his pay per view debut at Payback 2014 against Jack Swagger, there are those in management who feel that his television debut on Monday Night Raw was a flop. There are even rumors floating around that Rose could be sent back down to WWE NXT.
May 12, 2014
It looks like Adam Rose is going to be leapfrogging other WWE stars this month, as the former developmental wrestler is penciled in for a match at Payback 2014. His pay per view debut is expected to be against Jack Swagger, whom he confronted during Monday Night Raw this past week. There are those backstage in WWE that feel that his character can get over with the live audience in Chicago.
May 10, 2014
It looks like TNA is investing heavily into Bram, a new character who recently made his debut as a childhood friend of former world heavyweight champion Brutus Magnus. Even though he has yet to make a name for himself in the industry, Bram has been given a multiple year contract by TNA. While it may not be for a large sum of money, the commitment is quite telling.
May 9, 2014
Smith Hart, the older brother of Bret Hart, had been promoting a show, where David Benoit, the son of Chris Benoit, was going to be making his official debut in professional wrestling. However, Chris Jericho decided to step in and prevent that from happening. The former WWE champion felt that Benoit was not trained enough, so he reportedly convince Chavo Guerrero to back out of the event as well.
May 8, 2014
Wizard World is making its debut in San Antonio later this year, and the promoters have wisely secured one of the biggest names in WWE for the event. In August, John Cena will be heading down to Texas to make an appearance at the comic convention. The former world heavyweight champion has been scheduled to sign autographs and take pictures with fans for approximately four hours.

"Willow was my bad guy identity when Matt Hardy and I were running the OMEGA shows. I would be Jeff Hardy as the good guy and Willow would be the bad guy wrestling Matt across the indie circuit. It was an alter-ego back then, and now I had a chance to bring it back in TNA. I'm glad they gave me the chance to do it because it means the world to me to see how cool the promos have turned out and the vignettes leading up to the debut, and the entrance. The in-ring matches are still a work in progress for me, but it's fun to be that extension of myself, especially now at 36 years old on national TV." - Jeff Hardy discusses his new character on Impact Wrestling
April 26, 2014
With so many of his peers, including JBL, Michael Cole, Jim Ross, Chris Jericho and Steve Austin, finding success doing shows online, Taz is following suit. The TNA commentator announced that he was going to debut his own online radio show soon. The format will basically be the former world heavyweight champion talking about the daily topics in professional wrestling.
April 22, 2014
While management has not officially give him an extended feud to work with since his debut, Alexander Rusev is still being penciled in for a filler match at Extreme Rules 2014. He is expected to squash someone in a quick segment. Top candidates right now are Zack Ryder, R Truth and Xavier Woods, as those are the three WWE performers he has worked with lately.
April 18, 2014
In a rather peculiar move, WWE instructed the security personnel at Monday Night Raw to remove any signs that involves Sting. Rumors have spread this week that the legendary performer was close to signing a deal to finally join WWE. The belief is that management wants to ensure that his arrival is a surprise, even though most fans online have already heard about the possibility of his debut.
April 15, 2014
A buzz was created in the world of professional wrestling earlier tonight when Sting made his official debut on the WWE Network. The former world heavyweight did an interview segment, where he talked about his former tag team partner, the Ultimate Warrior. Sting revealed that Warrior used to blend tuna and orange juice into a drink.
April 15, 2014
In a rather interesting move, Alexander Rusev has been removed from the Hulu broadcast of Monday Night Raw for the second week in a row. His debut match against Zack Ryder was omitted the previous week. He defeated Xavier Woods this week and assaulted R Truth afterwards. Apparently, WWE did not feel that was important enough to include on the Hulu version.
April 15, 2014
A video from WWE Main Event of a match between Alexander Rusev, who made his in ring debut on Monday Night Raw this week against Zack Ryder, and Sin Cara. This segment was designed to give even further credibility to Rusev, who is expected to be booked in victories on television over the next couple of weeks.

Late summer sun, still shining as bright.
The days are shorter, soon comes the night.
You saw us through, with buckets and spades.
Down by the seaside, kids paddle and wade.
Melted the ice creams, warmed fruit to ripen.
You pulled out all stops, our days you did lighten.
Soon you must travel, to Summer’s beyond.
But know when you do, you’ll be missed when gone.

As a lifelong learner, I think it is important for educators to continually challenge themselves by seeking out new (and unique) learning opportunities.
I have just returned from a wonderful week at Mount Vernon, where I was accepted into their fabulous George Washington Teachers Institute Summer Residential Program. In addition to being treated like guests of Mr. and Lady Washington, we participated in an exceptional week of multimodal education.
Each day had a theme:
- Welcome to the History of the Washingtons
- George Washington’s Early Years
- Washington and the American Revolution
- Washington and the Exemplary Farm
- Setting Forth a Nation: The Constitution and Presidency
- Washington’s Legacy
and the agenda was packed full of hands-on activities, lectures from early American history experts, field trips,private tours, and living historical interpretations. We were immersed in the colonial time period, and it was completely A-W-E-S-O-M-E (can you tell I am excited?). I mean, how cool is it to have full access to the grounds of Mount Vernon, and sit on the mansion’s piazza with amazing educators watching the sunrise (or the moon rise) over the Potomac, speculating what the Washingtons thought about as they enjoyed the natural beauty?
I attended week 3, and dedicated educators from Arkansas, Florida, Massachusetts, Maryland, and Ohio were the invited guests. Each of our trips was paid for by the Mount Vernon Ladies’ Association Regent from that state, and we stayed in the ladies’ quarters. One requirement of participation was that we must present the program to other educators, which I plan to do at my MCPS School Library Media Program professional day on August 19, 2015, and again at the Maryland Association of School Librarians annual conference on October 16, 2015.
Whether you apply to this summer program, or one of the many others around the United States, I highly recommend taking advantage of your extended break by participating in a summer residential program!

Four terror accused from Pune are among those who were convicted for their role in the 2008 Ahmedabad serial bomb blasts on Friday. Three of them — Asif Bashiruddin Shaikh of Kondhwa Khurd, Mohammad Akbar Islami Choudhary of Mitha Nagar, Kondhwa and Fazal E Rahman Khan — were sentenced to death on Friday. The fourth convicted accused, Anik Sayyad of Pune, was awarded a life sentence.
As many as 22 bombs had exploded in the span of an hour in Ahmedabad on July 26, 2008, killing 56 people and leaving over 200 injured. A special court in Ahmedabad had convicted 49 accused and acquitted 28 others in this case earlier. Of the 49 convicts, 38 were sentenced to death on Friday.
A software engineer from Pune, Mohammed Mansoor Asghar Peerbhoy, who was accused of being the leader of the ‘media wing’ of terror outfit Indian Mujahideen, is among the 28 acquitted in the serial blasts case. Along with Peerbhoy, a resident of Pune Camp area, one more accused, Mubeen Kadar Shaikh of Kondhwa, has been acquitted in this case.
One of the three from Pune sentenced to death, Asif Shaikh, is a mechanical engineer. He has been named as an accused in two more terror cases in Mumbai and Delhi. Akbar Chaudhary has also been named as an accused in four more terror cases in Mumbai, Delhi, Mangaluru and Hyderabad. He has also been sentenced to death in the 2007 Hyderabad twin blasts, in which 44 persons were killed. He is alleged to be a top operative of IM.

Mohammed Peerbhoy and Mubeen Shaikh, the two Pune residents acquitted in the Ahmedabad serial blasts case, have been named as accused in two more terror cases in Mumbai and Delhi.
A computer engineer, Peerbhoy was 32 at the time of his arrest in 2008 and was working as the principal software engineer in the subsidiary of a tech giant in Pune.
Investigators had alleged that Peerbhoy headed the media wing of IM and he sent emails to media houses before the Ahmedabad and Delhi serial blasts by hacking the unsecured Wi-Fi network at three spots in Mumbai and Navi Mumbai. He had also moved an application to turn approver before a special court in Mumbai, but later withdrew it.
His father Mohammed Mansoor Asghar Peerbhoy passed away in Pune on Saturday. “The family was happy after Mansoor Peerbhoy was acquitted in the terror case nearly 14 years after his arrest. But his father died of a heart attack today. His last rites were performed on Saturday afternoon,” said activist Anjum Inamdar of the Mulnivasi Muslim Manch.
Another accused acquitted by the court, Mubeen Shaikh, was pursuing computer science at the time of his arrest. A resident of Pune Camp area, he was also arrested in 2008 along with other terror suspects. He was alleged to be a member of the IM media cell.
Meanwhile, investigation agencies had claimed that after Peerbhoy’s arrest, the terror outfit IM had allegedly handed over his “job in the media wing” to another Pune-based techie Aijaz Shaikh, who was arrested in 2014 from Saharanpur in Uttar Pradesh by the Delhi Police’s special cell and awarded the death sentence for his role in the Dilsukhnagar twin blasts in Hyderabad.

The industry-wide acceptance of risk assessment scales for pressure ulcers has gotten us accustomed to evaluating risk factors for skin breakdown. The most popular is the Braden Scale which incorporates subscales of sensory perception, moisture, activity, mobility, nutrition, and friction and shear. There are however, other factors which add to pressure ulcer risk which need to be taken into consideration. According to research recently published in the Journal of the American Medical Directors Association, hypotension may be an important risk factor for pressure ulcer occurrence.
It is generally accepted that reduced tissue perfusion plays a major role in development of pressure ulceration. Mechanical loading that is significant enough to cause capillary occlusion can lead to ischemia and cell death if pressure is applied long enough. It stands to reason that reduced blood pressure can raise the risk for cell death over boney prominences, and this was the hypothesis of a group of researchers in Hong Kong.
They studied patients over 65 who stayed in a geriatric convalescent ward during a three month period in 2011. Patients were defined as having a hypotensive episode if there was one or more systolic blood pressure readings less than or equal to 90 mm Hg (normal range for systolic pressure is between 90 and 120 mm Hg). Patients who died were excluded. Other data was collected including functional status, presence of tube feeding and congestive heart failure, and an array of laboratory tests. New pressure ulcers of any stage or site were recorded.
Using a retrospective cohort design, 229 patients were included during the 3 month study period. 17 of these patients developed new pressure ulcers and some developed multiple wounds, with a total of 24 new pressure ulcers. Most new wounds (66.7%) were stage II, and the most common location was over the sacral area (70.8%). Of the 17 patients who developed new pressure ulcers, 10 had hypotensive episodes prior to development of the wound. The authors conclude that hypotension is an important risk factor for pressure ulcer development.
This conclusion makes sense from a physiologic point of view. The skin is the largest organ of the body, and relies on blood circulation for delivery of oxygen and nutrients, as well as removal of toxic waste products. Hypoperfusion over pressure points when exacerbated by hypotension can theoretically accelerate tissue damage. Hypoperfusion is a known cause of tissue damage in other organs such as the brain, kidney, heart, and liver. Skin perfusion pressure (SPP) has already been demonstrated as a predictor of wound healing in chronic lower extremity wounds, and it stands to reason that it can also be a predictor of skin deterioration.
There is still a lot to be learned about who gets pressure ulcers and why. The Braden scale has given us a start in the direction of risk factor detection, but there are other physiological factors that can increase risk for developing pressure ulcers. For example many authorities agree that the dying process can lead to unavoidable skin changes at life’s end (SCALE). The occurrence of pressure ulcers even in the face of risk factor interventions such as pressure redistribution surfaces and turning and positioning plans tells us that we have far to go in both understanding risk factors and developing new intervention technologies.

A couple of months ago, Bird Rides removed all of its scooters and e-bikes from Overland Park, the city says, citing a “lack of staffing.”
First, Bird picked up all of the e-bikes in the early part of the summer.
Then, the e-scooters disappeared in August, Brian Shields, Overland Park’s traffic engineer, said at the city’s Community Development Committee meeting last week.
Since then, communication between the company and the city has been spotty, Shields said.
After multiple messages to the company went unanswered, someone from Bird did eventually reach out to say the person who was managing the Bird e-device fleets locally had left the company.
Overland Park got scooters, e-bikes in 2022
Overland Park entered into a pilot program with Bird in early 2022, which allowed the company to deploy its scooters and e-bikes in the city, primarily in the northern parts of the community.
In July of 2022, 75 scooters and 25 e-bikes from Bird arrived in Overland Park. Riders could access the devices by paying through an app, and the city collected 25 cents per ride.
Nearly 22,000 Bird bike and scooter rides were reported while the devices were available in Overland Park, Shields said, with most of those rides being on scooters.
The initial agreement was scheduled to expire at the end of November.
Overland Park might get another scooter provider
- The city could sign a contract with another company to provide more e-bikes and scooters.
- Lime, another scooter provider, had a representative attend last week’s Community Development Committee meeting, where the devices were discussed.
- Alternatively, Overland Park could put out a request for proposals to pick one or multiple companies to deploy scooters and bikes or both in the city.
- Overland Park could also let the initial pilot program with Bird lapse at the end of this month and decide to stop allowing vendor-provided shared mobility devices within city limits.
- At last week’s committee meeting, most city councilmembers present seemed more inclined toward the first two options, interested in exploring ways to make scooters and e-bikes a viable transportation alternative.
Olathe’s scooters are also gone
- City officials in Olathe said Bird scooters have also essentially disappeared there, too.
- Cody Kennedy, the city’s chief communications officer, told the Post that Olathe did “not receive any correspondence from Bird regarding ending early.”
- He also said recent emails to contacts at Bird whom the city of Olathe has worked with in the past have “bounced back.”
- Olathe’s pilot program is also set to end on Nov. 30.
- Previously, Prairie Village did not renew its scooter pilot program with Bird.
- The Overland Park City Council Public Works Committee will take up the issue of scooters and e-bikes on Nov. 20, Shields said.
- From there, the city will make a decision about starting a new pilot with a different scooter provider or ending the use of the devices in Overland Park altogether.
- Starting a new pilot program would require a vote from the full Overland Park City Council.

After a holiday season when the dance world surrenders to Nutcracker princes and dancing snowflakes, Portland’s scene gets serious – and seriously fun – with a roster of performances that mix experimental movement, worldly cultures, circus arts and hip-hop.
Linda Austin Dance’s “A World A World”: Portland choreographer Linda Austin presented this immersive dance in 2017 as a work in progress. The work is the final chapter in “(Un)Made,” a multi-year work that the artist describes as “investigating the limits and porosity of the individual self in relation to the multitude of possible spaces we inhabit: performative, collective, socio-political, and devotional.”
8 p.m. Jan. 16-18 and Jan. 23-25, and 4 p.m. Jan. 25, Performance Works NW, 4625 S.E. 67th Ave.; $14-$25 world.bpt.me
Fertile Ground Festival’s “Junction”: The Portland Area Theatre Alliance’s Fertile Ground Festival celebrates new works, and this year’s lineup includes a unique collaboration between Portland companies A-WOL Dance Collective, Tempos Contemporary Circus, and push/FOLD. Each group is creating a unique work designed to fuse modern dance, acrobatics and aerial dance.
8 p.m. Jan. 31-Feb. 1, and 2 p.m. Feb. 2, A-WOL Dance, 513 N.E. Schuyler St.; $15-$20; awoldance.org
Niv Sheinfeld and Oren Laor’s “The Third Dance”: The Portland Institute for Contemporary Art teams with White Bird to present five performances of Israeli choreographers Niv Sheinfeld and Oren Laor’s theatrical piece “The Third Dance,” which is performed in the round in an intimate space. The dance explores themes of love and mortality. The Jerusalem Post called “The Third Dance” "clever and graceful work with deep insights – clearly a labor of love and beyond.””
8 p.m. Feb. 5-8, 7 p.m. Feb. 9, Portland Institute for Contemporary art, 15 N.E. Hancock St.; $25-$34; whitebird.org
Grupo Corpo: Over the years, Portland audiences have grown to love Brazil’s hypnotic Grupo Corpo, which mixes contemporary dance with athletic Afro-Brazilian movement. For this return engagement, the group performs two works: “Bach,” based on the music of the Baroque composer; and “Gira,” a meditation on the religion Umbanda, which is widely practiced in Brazil.
7:30 p.m. Feb. 12, Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall, 1037 S.W. Broadway; $30-$70; whitebird.org
Oregon Ballet Theatre’s “Sleeping Beauty”: Former OBT artistic director Christopher Stowell based this fairy tale ballet on the original choreography by Marius Petipa, who created the original production of the Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg, Russia. Last seen here in 2010, the full-length work features the OBT orchestra at all performances, performing Tchaikovsky’s famous score.
7:30 p.m. Feb. 15 and Feb. 21-22, and 2 p.m. Feb. 15-16 and Feb. 22-23, Keller Auditorium, 222 S.W. Clay St.; $29-$115, Ticketmaster.com
Cirque Alfonse’s “Tabarnak”: When people hear “French-Canadian circus company,” they normally think of Cirque du Soleil. But the Montreal company takes the concept of the avant-garde circus in a totally different direction, incorporating lots of movement into the various acts. For this return White Bird engagement, the group performs “Tabarnak,” inspired by a small village church. In addition to acrobatics, there’s a riff on hockey and a roller-skating routine.
7:30 p.m. Feb. 27-29, Newmark Theatre, 1111 S.W. Broadway; $30-$70; whitebird.org
Rennie Harris’ “Funkedified”: Philadelphia hip-hop choreographer Rennie Harris brings together dancers from his Puremovement company along with The Hood Lockers to celebrate the urban music and street moves of the 1970s. The performance features a live band channeling R&B legends like George Clinton and James Brown.
7:30 p.m. March 5-7, and 2 p.m. March 7, Newmark Theatre, 1111 S.W. Broadway; $25-$70; whitebird.org
BodyVox’s “Nineteen-Twenty”: The 1920s was a time of jubilant music, unique fashions, and culture being turned on its head. BodyVox teams with the Akropolis Reed Quintet to bring back the era of flappers and speakeasies. This production marks the sixth time BodyVox has collaborated with Chamber Music Northwest.
7:30 p.m. March 26-29, April 2-4, and 2 p.m. March 28 and April 4, BodyVox Dance Center, 1201 N.W. 17th Ave.; $41-$64; bodyvox.com or cmnw.org
