clipper's remarks: Tom's listing of things that you need to do in weird times. Great listing of things that really should get done.

Clip Source: www.tompeters.com

Leading yourself in really weird times:

Be conscious in the Zen sense. Think about what you are doing more than usual. Think about how you project.

Meet daily, first thing, with your leadership team—to discuss whatever, check assumptions. Perhaps meet again late afternoon. Meetings max 30 minutes.

If you are a "big boss," use a private sounding board—check in daily.

Concoct scenarios by the bushel, test 'em, play with 'em, short-term, long-term, sane, insane.

MBWA. Wander. Sample attitudes. Visible but not frenzied.

Work the phones, chat up experts, customers, vendors. Seek enormous diversity of opinion.

"Over"communicate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Exercise—encourage your leadership team to double up on their exercise.

Underscore "excellence in every transaction."

America, Love It or Leave It

clipper's remarks:

Wherever that is, there will probably be a few American tanks and some bombers and things, but at least you won't be keeping the rest of us awake with your shrill cries over phantoms of lost liberty. There may be other countries with higher standards of living, with better governments more responsive to the wishes of their electorate. Sure, there may be countries where freedom and human rights are more than just catchphrases to be tossed out the window the minute it's inconvenient, such as I admit does happen in the United States now and then (especially now).
-----
Indeed, with poverty, racism, inequality, a disintegrating infrastructure, corporate control of the government, and the spiralling degradation of the environment, some crybabies could claim that America is no longer the greatest nation in the world.

If you look on the bright side of things, if you see the ass as half-full instead of half-empty, you realize we've never had it so good.

America, Love It or Leave It

It Probably Won't Leave You

So okay, the USA is having little fascisty moments, but let's not go nuts. Many countries torture their prisoners

And who doesn't imprison people without charges or trial? I mean besides the rest of the developed world.

Are any of these countries engaging in surveillance of their entire population? Not as such, but

At least we have phones.

Or how about all you heathen devils across the Pacific?

I'd like to hear a word of gratitude from Europe

Because America probably has troops in your immediate area, and we will not hesitate to kick your ass.

we're having a little case of police-stateitis here in the US,

why should everybody get upset

I'd appreciate it if all you peaceniks would just back off and go exercise your human rights somewhere else.

America is still the greatest country in the world, and if you don't like it, you are free to move somewhere else.

Polestriding Benefits to Patients with Peripheral Arterial Disease

clipper's remarks: After 24 weeks of polestriding training, subjects increased their exercise endurance from 10.3 +/- 4.1 minute to 15.1 +/- 4.5 minute. This was significantly greater than control group subjects whose exercise endurance declined (from 11.2 +/- 4.7 to 10.3 +/- 4.7 minute; P < .001). Relationships between systolic blood pressure (P < .001), heart rate (P = .04), rate pressure product (P = .05), oxygen uptake (P = .016), and perceived leg pain (P = .02) and exercise time improved from the baseline symptom-limited treadmill test to the 6-month symptom-limited treadmill test in the polestriding group compared to the control group.

Cardiovascular Training Effect Associated With Polestriding Exercise in Patients With Peripheral Arterial Disease.

Collins, Eileen G. PhD, RN; Langbein, W. Edwin PhD; Orebaugh, Cynthia BSN, RN; Bammert, Christine MS; Hanson, Karla MS; Reda, Domenic PhD; Edwards, Lonnie C. MD; Littooy, Fred N. MD

Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing. 20(3):177-185, May/June 2005.

Because individuals with claudication pain secondary to peripheral arterial disease (PAD) are limited in both walking speed and duration, the benefits of walking exercise may be insufficient to yield a cardiovascular training effect. The objectives of this analysis were to determine whether polestriding exercise training, performed by persons with PAD, would improve exercise endurance, elicit a cardiovascular training benefit, and improve quality of life

Polestriding training significantly improved the clinical indicators of cardiovascular fitness and QoL, and decreased symptoms of claudication pain during exertion.

Effect of exercise on perceived quality of life of individuals with Parkinson's disease.

Baatile J, Langbein WE, Weaver F, Maloney C, Jost MB.

Loyola University Medical Center, Chicago, IL 60611, USA.

The purpose of this study was to determine if individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD) who completed an 8-week, supervised PoleStriding exercise program would undergo significant improvements in cognitive skills, activities of daily living, motor function, and quality of life. The Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) and the Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-39) were used to measure functional independence. Six male volunteers (72.7+/-3.7 years of age) performed PoleStriding exercise three times per week for 37+/-3 minutes.

The results of this nonrandomized clinical trial indicate that an 8-week individualized PoleStriding exercise program increases perceived functional independence and quality of life in individuals with PD.

Forgiveness

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 09:07:38 GMT

Clip Source: www.peaceinspiration.com

Forgiveness is an exercise in spiritual growth: the more we forgive, the more we grow. Conversely, bitterness makes spiritual growth impossible: when our hearts are filled with resentment and anger, there’s no room left for love.

Clip Source: www.peaceinspiration.com

In the long run, it’s not a question of whether they deserve to be forgiven. You’re not forgiving them for their sake. You’re doing it for yourself. For your own health and well-being, forgiveness is simply the most energy-efficient option. It frees you from the incredibly toxic, debilitating drain of holding a grudge. Don’t let these people live rent free in your head. If they hurt you before, why let them keep doing it year after year in your mind? It’s not worth it but it takes heart effort to stop it. You can muster that heart power to forgive them as a way of looking out for yourself. It’s one thing you can be totally selfish about.

Forgiveness is the fragrance the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it. ~Mark Twain

Obama’s Poems Show Real Talent

clipper's remarks: .....example of the genre.”

Of note, Politico observes that “the temperate legal language doesn't display the rhetorical heights that run through his memoir, published a few years later.”

But then somehow, those few years later, this 33 year-old amateur with no paper trail beyond a hack legal note and a poem about fig-stomping apes produced what Time Magazine has called--with a straight face-- “the best-written memoir ever produced by an American politician.”

The public is asked to believe that Obama did this on his own, almost as though he were some sort of literary idiot savant. I don’t buy this canard for a minute.

To enhance the science of this literary investigation, I made some inquiries into the academy. . .he encouraged me instead “to do what you're already doing . . . good old-fashioned literary detective work.”

Given that advice, I dug deeper into the memoir of the man who, I believe, tortured Dreams From My Father . . .

Clip Source: cashill.com

Prior to 1990, when Barack Obama contracted to write Dreams From My Father, he had written very close to nothing.

As an undergraduate at Occidental College, Obama had composed what he calls some “very bad poetry,” and he does not sell himself short.

In 1981, Occidental’s literary magazine published two of Obama’s poems—“Pop” and “Underground.” These poems are only a little sillier than the average undergraduate’s, but they show not a glint of promise. From “Underground”:

Los Angeles media critic Kevin Roderick rightly described the exposure of Obama’s two published poems as a “semi-cruel exercise."

In a similar spirit, the Independent of London headlined its article on Obama’s early poetry, “Pop goes myth of Obama the young prodigy.”

It would be another decade before Obama had anything in print and this a heavily edited, unsigned student case comment in the Harvard Law Review unearthed by Politico.

Attorneys who reviewed the piece for Politico described it charitably as “a fairly standard

You mental and your physical health are tied together. You really cannot separate the two. While you are working to strengthen one, you should be working to strengthen the other. A positive effect on your metal attitude will lead you to work on positive physical changes. And we all know that positive physical changes are a fantastic mental-attitude adjuster. You mind and your body will take you to those places you want to be, to your ultimate successes. Take care of both of them and they will take care of you.

AJC Aging Dealing with Balance and Falling

clipper's remarks: Call to action for Elderly

Clip Source: www.ajc.com

Living a balanced life important to elderly

These balance-focused exercises aren't just good for you. They may be the key to independence.

And some 3,000 people across the country are testing out balance walking, which involves ski-like poles and angled shoes. Balance walking — which is like cross- country skiing without the snow — didn't even exist a few years ago. But today, the exercise routine is turning some parks and church parking lots across metro Atlanta into grassy slopes.

For people 65 and older, falls are the leading cause of injury-related death, and close to 2 million people are treated in the emergency room every year for fall-related injuries, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Each year, nearly one-third of older adults fall.

But getting wobbly doesn't have to be a given, according to doctors who say simply taking a 20-minute daily walk can build stability.

Bloated Financial Sector

Democrats are pulling off a propaganda coup. They opposed reasonable regulation of Fannie and Freddie, and imposed CRA regulation that contributed significantly to the growth of unsustainable subprime mortgages. Now, they blame all problems on Bush-Cheney and "deregulation" and promise that the bailout is the first installment of a massive re-regulation of unspecified nature.

There is some truth to the attack, in that the feds watched the development of an opaque and fragmented system of mortgages and derivatives without finding out what was going on. The SEC also dropped the ball with respect to the investment banks, according to its own IG. But it is unclear why the solution is an increase in the power of institutions that were inept in the exercise of their existing power. There is a serious argument that what is needed is transparency and clearinghouses so that the market can work, not new micromanagement.

Nutrition science and exercise science have always been a natural combination for me. Combining my knowledge in both areas to conduct research in obesity prevention, thyroid hormone function improvement, and osteoporosis prevention has been motivating and challenging. The environmental, applied, and molecular research that is occurring here at Penn, and throughout the world, will help to advance these sciences and result in better health outcomes for our nation and the world.
