Summer of Discontent
The August 7 primary will decide the fate of Mayor Taylor and his council majority.
by James Leonard
From the August, 2018 issue
Correction: a photo caption in the print edition misidentified the Ward 4 incumbent as Kirk Westphal. The Ward 4 incumbent - here shown at center right with challenger Elizabeth Nelson - is Graydon Krapohl.
"It's been a wild summer," says Julie Grand. "There's a lot of anger." While knocking on doors for her reelection campaign, the Third Ward councilmember says, "I've had people scream at me!"
Second Ward challenger Kathy Griswold reports almost the same experience. "When I've told people I'm running for council," she says, "they literally start screaming at me about the roads."
Griswold, a former school board member and longtime political activist, has been angry herself in the past. But "I'm tired of being angry," she says. "I'm running for council to be part of the solution."
Her solution starts with taking on incumbent Kirk Westphal, a member of what the Observer calls council's "Activist Coalition." And she's supporting a longtime ally, Fourth Ward councilmember Jack Eaton, in his challenge to mayor Christopher Taylor.
Eaton is the de facto leader of what we call the Back to Basics Caucus. They're generally skeptical about development and the Activists' less tangible initiatives, like public art. He describes Ann Arborites as "frustrated and a little fed up."
First-time Third Ward challenger Alice Liberson says she's not angry, just "disappointed" in the city's leadership. Fifth Ward challenger Ali Ramlawi describes himself as "passionate" about correcting what he sees as the city's mistakes--speaking so passionately that after he leaves the interview, two folks nearby comment on how angry he appears to be.
Eaton has endorsed Griswold and Ramlawi and says he's leaning toward supporting Jeff Hayner, who's running for an open council seat in the First Ward. Liberson and the Fourth Ward challenger Elizabeth Nelson are officially unaligned, but both criticize council's current direction.
The Activist Coalition now comprises Mayor Taylor and six of ten councilmembers. They lost one seat last year, and four members are up for reelection this year. Ann Arbor
is a deep-blue town, and its move to even-year elections, which takes effect this year, effectively dooms any Republican or independent brave enough to run in November. That means the vote that really matters is the August 7 Democratic primary.
Taylor supports the four incumbents plus newcomer Ron Ginyard in the First Ward. He and the other Activists say the city's already on track to improve its roads and that their initiatives are improving its quality of life. They also stand by their vote to sell the air rights over the Library Lot parking structure to a developer who wants to build a seventeen-story high rise there--a project that's being challenged in a November referendum and a lawsuit (see below).
If all five of the Activist candidates win, they'll reclaim the eight-to-three supermajority that approved the Library Lot deal (the mayor votes in council decisions, along with each ward's two councilmembers). But if challengers carry three wards--or if they win two of them and Eaton beats Taylor--control of council will flip.
Even that result won't greatly accelerate road repairs in the short term. Doing so would require huge infusions of money, and council has already tapped all obvious sources of tax revenue and its fund reserves. But a Basics majority could try to block the Library Lot project by rejecting its site plan--though if they do, Taylor predicts, the developer will sue.
Under Taylor and his predecessor, John Hieftje, the town's added dozens of major buildings, thousands of residents, and tens of thousands of commuters. No council can stop that growth from continuing in the future--the tech firms and U-M guarantee that--but a different council could slow it down.
Griswold has worked on so many campaigns that she once joked that she can order yard signs in her sleep. Hayner and Ramlawi both ran once before as independents, while Liberson and Nelson are campaigning for the first time.
Ramlawi, forty-three, ran last year to oppose the sale of the Library Lot. He owns the Jerusalem Garden restaurant, directly north of the lot, and says he's running again because "the issues still exist."
Hayner, fifty-three, is self-employed, doing custom carpentry and metal and finishing work. "I'm always talking at city council, planning commission, [and the] public art commission," he says. This year, he decided to trade critiquing for campaigning. "Hopefully I come off as much less angry," he says.
Both Liberson and Nelson were stirred into action by what they see as an unresponsive city government. "I really hadn't paid attention to local politics," says Liberson, sixty-five, a retired veterinarian who owned the now-closed pet supply store Dogma Catmantoo. "Once I started paying attention, some things started to not make sense to me. I felt like my voice was not being heard."
That's Nelson's take, too. "The mistakes being made are not so much about people distributing information that's necessarily factually wrong or incorrect or wrongheaded," says the forty-four-year-old substitute teacher. "We're not discussing [issues] from all perspectives."
Ginyard, sixty-two, is also new to politics--but he's generally satisfied with the city's direction. The four incumbents similarly say that Ann Arbor is generally good and getting better--but the city needs continued guidance, and they want to provide it.
"Our overall fiscal strength is improving," says Second Ward rep Westphal, forty-eight, an urban planner. "We have to pay extra attention to how we manage the evolution that Ann Arbor is going through."
"We've coalesced around some pretty important priorities," says Grand, forty-four, a lecturer at the U-M School of Public Health. "You can't see the impacts of our roads program yet, but it will be visible to folks in a few years."
Fourth Ward incumbent Graydon Krapohl also defends the Activists' leadership. But the retired Marine Corps officer, fifty-eight, says they need to get better at explaining themselves. The fundamental problem, he says, is "how to improve communication between the city and the residents, how to get accurate, factual information out so people know what's going on."
"There is still more work to do," summarizes Fifth Ward incumbent Chuck Warpehoski, fifty, "especially on affordable housing"--a particular concern of his as the director of the Interfaith Council for Peace and Justice.
The biggest differences between the council incumbents and challengers are the same as between the mayoral candidates: how they see the city now and where they see it in the future.
Mayor Taylor, fifty-one, believes "the quality of life is better" than in the past. A lawyer with Hooper Hathaway, he calls himself "an optimistic person" and says he "tries to meet people's aspirations rather than augment their fears. Ann Arbor's future is not served by it being an angry place."
"We're changing," agrees challenger Jack Eaton, sixty-six. But the retired labor lawyer argues the city's mayor "should have a strong affirmative vision of what you want the town to be like in ten years. I don't see any strong leadership out of [Taylor]. To the extent we have a direction, it's not necessarily the direction that serves most of our population. I would be much more responsive to citizens."
Taylor responds by emailing a paragraph-long description of the positive changes he envisions in the next decade, including more people living and working in town, recognition as an "Age Friendly Community," 1,000 new units of affordable housing, a new water treatment plant, and "vastly better" roads.
But he's running on the roads of 2018, not 2028. "We've neglected the roads, and the plan to repair and replace the roads needs to be accelerated," Griswold says.
Other challengers agree about the roads' condition--and who's to blame for it. "Clearly, infrastructure has been ignored [by] the current administration," Liberson says.
Asked what grade he'd give the city's roads, Ramlawi replies "Failure! This is unacceptable for a city as affluent as we are. You're always going to hear from incumbents 'it's the state's fault.' Sure!"
The incumbents agree the roads are poor, but as Krapohl points out, correctly, "most of the [road maintenance] funding comes from the state. It comes out of your gasoline taxes and users fees." (See Inside Ann Arbor.)
"Despite what people think," Krapohl adds, the roads have not been ignored. But fixing them "takes a lot of time and costs a lot of money, and there're only so many contractors available."
Council has set a goal of getting 80 percent of the city's roads in shape by 2025. "Is 2025 soon enough given what people want?" asks Grand. "No. Is it realistic given our resources? Yes."
Eaton says the city missed a chance to increase those resources. The city got $14 million from the federal government to replace the bridge that carries E. Stadium over State St., but he says it could have been $22 million if the city had had a plan ready when the Obama stimulus was approved in 2009.
Taylor says Eaton would have missed the $14 million, too. "When Councilmember Eaton levied his first Stadium Bridge critique back in 2010, he proposed that we go into debt to fix the bridge," he emails. "Instead we applied for and won federal grants, saving Ann Arbor $14M+ that we've used over the past 8 years to fix roads all over town."
"That's what I offered at that time," responds Eaton. "If we'd simply been ready, we could have gotten the entire project funded."
"That's profoundly speculative," retorts Taylor. "He suggested borrowing $14 million to fix the bridges, and if we'd done that we'd still be paying that off, and our roads would be in far, far worse shape."
Going forward, Eaton says he'd fix the roads faster by spending down the fund balance, minimizing improvements like roundabouts, and eliminating spending on art projects like the installations on the Stadium Bridge and a new retaining wall nearby.
Nelson agrees. "The art on Stadium: that was a big kerfuffle. If we had more meaningful conversations about the cluster of all these little things, maybe we will have more money to put towards roads."
"That's not a practical solution," says Taylor. "Putting fifty thousand here, a hundred thousand there is not going to solve the problem. This is a long-term problem with a long-term solution."
The other burning issue is the Library Lot. After the Activists voted to sell the development rights to Chicago-based Core Spaces, a citizens' group that favors turning the space into a park successfully petitioned to put it to a public vote. And two councilmembers have filed a lawsuit seeking to stop the sale (see box, opposite page).
Eaton opposed the sale at the time and still does. He says the city doesn't need another tall building, but it does need "a town square. If you look at our long history of dissent and civil disobedience and political activism, the idea that we have no town square to gather in to protest is offensive." (Taylor argues that the U-M Diag, locus of civil rights and Vietnam War protests and decades of Hash Bashes, meets that need.)
Ramlawi opposed building the underground parking structure--in an interview last year, he called it "a complete waste"--and also the planned high-rise on top. Instead, he suggests that "we do a land swap and build a new library there. Then you tear down the existing [library] and maybe you can sell it to a developer or maybe make it a park."
"The best way to get a park there is to sell the lot and have the developer pay for the park," responds his opponent, Warpehoski. "I support selling the development rights to help fund affordable housing"--half of the $10 million sale price would go toward that.
Krapohl notes that council voted to set aside 12,000 square feet of the site as public space. "With the Core Spaces agreement, it will be maintained by Core Spaces but follow the rules of the parks department ... In the thousand doors I've knocked so far I haven't heard anybody who wants the whole site used as a park," he says. "People understand that building a park there costs a lot of money."
Second Ward incumbent Westphal says the Library Lot "could be one of the worst spots in town to put a park. It would take all the worst qualities of Liberty Plaza ... and put it in a place where there's even less pedestrian traffic."
Taylor says the site's development is a done deal. "A contract has been signed that has received the approval of the city attorney's office. If presented with a by-right development in accord with the contract it would be a future council's obligation to approve the plan. Refusal to approve a by-right site plan [that complies with the site's zoning] exposes the city to a losing lawsuit."
The four incumbents say they hope to raise between $10,000 and $15,000 apiece and knock on 3,000 to 5,000 doors. Their challengers quote figures of $5,000-$10,000, and 2,000-5,000 doors.
Running for mayor, Eaton says, "you have to scale up everything. The first time I won a council race I spent $14-$15,000. In a ward race it costs $3,000 to do a mailing. Citywide it will cost five times that."
He's aiming to raise between $50,000 and $70,000 and says he'll beat Taylor "the old-fashioned way: walk doors, ask voters what they care about, respond to their concerns, and try to show them that you're going to be more responsive to their concerns than your opponent." He figures to hit "as many doors as I can," using a Democratic party database that identifies likely votes.
Taylor says he expects to raise about $50,000, and personally knock on five thousand doors. He says he's relying "on the fact that people recognize that we've been doing what we promised. We've been working to improve basic services and enhance quality of life. People see that and respond positively.
"I'm so excited about our future," he concludes. "Ann Arbor in ten years is going to be better than Ann Arbor today. There are politicians in Ann Arbor who feed off the anger of people. I feed off of people's optimism. Nothing was ever accomplished through negativity. Positive change only happens when people are working together in good faith."
That's a cheerful message. But in this summer of discontent, will it be a winning message?
The Library Lot Lawsuit
City council's 2017 decision to sell the air rights over the Library Lot was the hottest issue in last year's elections. It's still burning.
If candidates opposing the sale win a majority in the August 7 Democratic primary, they could try to block Core Spaces' seventeen- story building when it comes to council for planning approval (see main story). And the Library Green Conservancy, which wants to see a park there, has put a charter amendment on the November ballot.
Mayor Taylor says they're too late, because the site has been sold. If its plan is denied, he says, Core Spaces could sue the city and win.
But what if it hasn't actually been sold? Council approved the sale in April 2017, when Taylor's forces held an eight-vote supermajority. But negotiating the details took more than a year, and the contract wasn't signed until this May. By then, the supermajority was gone-Anne Bannister ousted an Activist incumbent in last year's First Ward primary. In June, Bannister and retiring First Ward colleague Sumi Kailasapathy sued, contending that Taylor and city clerk Jackie Beaudry signed the contract in violation of the city charter.
Eric Lipson, their lawyer and current treasurer of the Library Green Conservancy, explains their reasoning in an email.
"We believe that the Mayor and his allies on city council exceeded their authority under the City Charter," he writes. "Council alone has the final 'authority to approve' all contracts over $25,000.
"The plain language of the charter also requires that city council approve all contracts to sell, lease or encumber city property with an 8 vote super-majority. We believe that the Core Spaces contract proposed by staff must come back to council for a vote, and needs eight votes of council to pass."
"No," replies Taylor in an email. "The city and its council, mayor, and clerk acted in [a] manner consistent with usual city practices, the Charter, and all applicable law … Council authorized the making of, and approved, the contract at issue in this lawsuit, and approved the sale it contemplates by an 8-3 supermajority."
"I don't know if prior councils have violated the charter in this respect," replies Lipson in another email. "But it is irrelevant to our case. If a prior council has violated the law it is no defense, this time, that they did it before."
"They're just trying to slow us down," says Third Ward councilmember Julie Grand. "I'm confident in our position as a city."
So is Taylor. "Every single contract that comes to my desk has been approved in form and substance by the city attorney's office," he says in an interview. City attorney Stephen Postema won't comment on the suit, but emails that "The Council has often authorized and approved a variety of contracts by Resolution without then voting again on the final written document of the contract … The Council is well aware of this practice and always has been aware of this practice."
Bannister and Kailasapathy are asking the court to bar the deed transfer until their case is heard. Judge David Swartz has scheduled a hearing for August 15.

Q: What is the best way to access the outer  from the inner nested constructor's prototype in JS classes? Can we still not use a more elegant way than an archaic variable like that to access the outer this with nested classes and especially when private class fields are involved?
A simplified example to demonstrate could be;
class Person {
  #Ofset;
  #H;
  constructor(name) {
    var that  = this;
    this.name = name;
    this.#H   = class {
                  constructor(n) {
                    that.#Ofset = Math.random();
                    this.age = n + that.#Ofset;
                  };
                  ofset() {return that.#Ofset}; // accessing outer class's private
                };                             // member from the inner class's
  };                                           // prototype
  setAge(n) {
    return new this.#H(n);
  }
};

var p = new Person("Joe").setAge(10);

console.log(p.age);     // 10.09289026855164
console.log(p.ofset()); // 0.09289026855163951

In my scenario the inner class instance should be able to get and set the outer class private field #Ofset.
So this works just fine like this but i would like to to know if there exists a more idiomatic solution.

A: I don't know exactly what you mean with idiomatic, but a cleaner and less complex way would be, to avoid the class and instead use an object and behavior delegation:
var Person = {

    Ofset: 0,
    name: "",
    age: 0,
    setName(name) { this.name = name; },
    getName() { return this.name; },
    setAge(n) {
        this.Ofset = Math.random();
        this.age = n + this.Ofset;
    },
    getAge() { return this.age; },
    getOfset() { return this.Ofset; }

};

var p = Object.create( Person );

p.setName("Joe");
p.setAge(10);

console.log(p.getAge());     // 10.09289026855164
console.log(p.getOfset());   // 0.09289026855163951

If you doesn't like the extra step setName, you could combine the methods:
...
    setData(name, n) {
        this.setName(name);
        this.setAge(n);
    },
    getData() {
        return {
            name: this.name,
            age: this.age,
            Ofset: this.Ofset
        };
    }

};

var p = Object.create( Person );
var m = Object.create( Person );

p.setData("Joe", 10);
m.setData("Mary", 300);

console.log(p.getAge());     // 10.09289026855164
console.log(p.getOfset());   // 0.09289026855163951
console.log(m.getData());    //>{name: "Mary", age: 300.67031318594286, Ofset: 0.6703131859428475}

I recently attended the funeral for a dear friend's father. He was a great man and much-loved (evidenced by the way everyone spoke of him both before and after his death). During the service, I was fortunate enough to witness one moment of striking beauty.
My friend's husband (also a dear friend of mine) was eulogizing his father-in-law of about a year, and doing an excellent job. Both he and my other friend faced tumultuous times the past few years. So When he spoke of blending their two families in marriage, with five total children (two of which have the same name), I looked up to the front row to see his wife (my friend) sitting with the children. His middle daughter was sitting in her lap, just looking into my friend's eyes. I watched as this eight year old girl who had lost her own mother just a little over two years before, tenderly wiped the tears from her stepmother's eyes. I then felt my own tears arrive and I knew that whenever I thought about that day, that funeral, this is the moment I will remember most. A little moment, but one of such beauty.
As we went home, I found my mind turning to little moments from my own life. Tiny little moments that have grown large in my memory.
I thought of being a senior in high school still trying to figure where I fit in and having a small group of college students ask ,"Hey, you want to come along?" when they all went to eat.
Of the random smile from someone whose name I will never know brightening a dark day they had no way of knowing I was experiencing.
Of seeing the girl who would become my wife for the first time.
Of my son falling sleep in my lap.
Of all the times I might have been able to make a similar little moment for someone else, but squandered the opportunity.
Of all the chance little moments I did take advantage of.
It occurred to me how often we do things that seem insignificant, but take on great meaning for others. Those slices of time that become the important little moments for them.
Mostly, I realized how much we should treasure and enjoy the little moments. They make the biggest memories.

Thanks for sharing this. I missed being there. Very impressed with your posts that I have read. Look forward to reading more!
You're very welcome. It should come as no surprise that I like sharing the stories, but reading the word "impressed," well, that's just amazing to me (and humbling). Thanks for the kind words.
Of the time I was sitting in church and heard my friend quote something I said.
And I totally credited you as the originator of the quote as well!
I know. I'm just amazed that anyone would want to use anything I say. One of the reasons I capture moments with my camcorder. I don't try to make them.


As we celebrate this Memorial Day, let us remember the people who have given their lives in service to our country.
No one knows the true cost of freedom more than those who've lost loved ones to war. No matter our personal opinions on why war occurs, the people who sacrifice themselves for our liberty are heroes. As a mom whose son served overseas and returned home, I am beyond thankful for his service, and the service of others. My son came home but he served with brothers in arms who did not come home.

A quick shout out to moms around the world. Happy Mother's Day!
Did you know the woman responsible for Mother's Day, Anna Jarvis, lived to regret it? Today's Mother's Day is a far cry from its original intended purpose. Before her death in 1948 Anna fought against the commercialization of the holiday. The article in National Geographic provides an interesting background on the holiday.

Membership Has Its Rewards Or Does It?
Today there are about 7.5 billion people in the world. Of this number, 15% of the population has some form of disability.
Our minority group; people with disabilities (PWDs) that is, don't care about gender, religion, education or other characteristics that define a person. We are the only minority group where anyone at any given time of their lives can become a member.
I wonder what the world would be like if the majority of the population were PWDs? Personally, I think we would still be as discriminatory as we are today because of the majority numbers game. With so many people on the planet, it's unlikely we'll ever be accepting of everyone but why don't we celebrate our differences?
Instead of looking at PWDs with pity or disdain why not let's try to be kind? Whether we are born with or acquire a disability later in life we are no more or no less human than anyone else.
We can transcend barriers by changing the way we perceive one another. The way we will achieve this goal is by sharing our stories, getting out there and living our lives.

It's Not All "A Beautiful Mind"
I had just begun to work on the very early drafts of a book that would become The Hollow City, my new novel about a man with schizophrenia, and because of that panel I challenged myself to treat the disease, like the commenter said, as realistically as I could. The basic hook of the novel is simple: a man with schizophrenia realizes that some of the monsters he sees are real. Yes, there is some sensationalizing—this is a supernatural thriller, after all, and "sensational" is kind of what we're aiming for. But I decided to delve much deeper into schizophrenia, to portray as closely as I could what it's like to live with a disease that warps your reality.
That is, without question, the best review I've ever had.


Students and faculty across various disciplines of study gathered in the North Haven campus auditorium at 9:30 a.m. on Friday, Jan. 26 for a discussion on the state of health care for incarcerated women within the United States.
The event was sponsored by Quinnipiac University's School of Health Sciences, School of Law, School of Medicine and the School of Nursing and College of Arts and Sciences.
Amber Kelly, assistant professor of social work at the school of Health Sciences, hosted the panel and began with the introduction of the University's guest speakers: Beatrice Codianni, Carol Soto, and Jaclyn Lucibello. These three individuals all spent time within U.S. penitentiaries.
Kelly, the assistant professor who facilitated the event, thought it was important to have an event discussing the often ignored voices of Incarcerated women and the difficulties they must overcome to receive the proper health services.
While the names Codianni or Soto may not sound familiar, their fictional, television counterparts: Esposito and Yoga Jones may be more recognizable from the series based off Piper Kerman's book: Orange Is the New Black: My Year in a Women's Prison.
Codianni and Soto both served prison sentences with Kerman. While they lauded Kerman's success saying the book brought many health care issues to light, the three women stressed how the reality of the television show does not always represent the hardships of incarcerated women.
Each of these women were given thirty minutes to separately discuss how their lack of access to sufficient health care impacted their well-being while incarcerated.
Codianni spent 15 years within the prison system, much of that time being housed at Danbury Federal Prison, which is a 50-minute drive from Quinnipiac.
She elaborated on one of these women's stories.
Beyond physical health care treatments, Codianni stressed the importance of proper mental health care solutions as well.
Codianni went on to talk about how many correctional officers (C.O.'s) invasive procedures were detrimental to a women's mental health, and even impacted her own traumatic memories.
Soto served alongside Cordianni at Danbury Federal Prison from 2004-2005.
Soto began her segment with a personal story from her time while at Danbury Federal Prison.
Lucibello was incarcerated for three years at the York Correctional Institution in Niantic.
"York Correctional is like any other prison, in terms of healthcare," Lucibello reported. "If you do get medication, it's usually not even the medicine you were prescribed. You're not allowed to get proper medication because it's too much money," Lucibello continued.
Lucibello also expanded upon the realities of sexual abuse in the prison system at York.
"If there's just one rumor of (insubordination)," Lucibello said. "You're in the SHU," which Lucibello described as an abbreviation for solitary confinement.

Here I am going to explain, how we can implement simple count down timer in ASP.NET. This can be used in any webpage like if we have around 200 minutes to get live a webpage. we can show this duration using count down timer to our user. This implementation is very simple.
Here i am going to explain, how we can implement a simple count down timer in ASP.NET.
This can be used in any webpage like if we have around 200 minutes to get live a webpage. we can show this duration using count down timer to our user.
This implementation is very simple. This can be achieved using ASP.NET time control. In the code i have explained how to show remaining time in minutes, you can similarly do in hrs/days etc.
Define a label to show the remaining time.
In the page load event code behind page , I have created a session variable and ensure that the value of the session variable doesn't get updated due to the async post back caused by the AsyncPostBackTrigger.
I have used here 160 minutes as the time, you can change it as per your need.


Here's a situation I'll bet you've experienced many times.
Or maybe it's a neck, knee, or low back problem?
More importantly, maybe that "friend" is you?
The truth is, virtually everyone will eventually suffer with some type of joint pain or physical limitation. And I really mean everyone.
In the spring of 2007, Debbie Siebers, a worldwide fitness expert who's been featured on The Swan and the creator of the immensely successful Slim in 6, hired me to help her correct some nagging injuries. Her right shoulder and upper back were bugging her, and she suffered with occasional back twinges and zingers that just wouldn't go away. (Yep, even fitness experts can throw things out of whack.) She tried everything: chiropractic adjustments, physical therapy, massage, and acupuncture, just to name a few. She got some temporary relief, but only for a few hours, or if she was lucky, a day. In the end, nothing ultimately worked.
Debbie heard about the success I've had working in Los Angeles with everyone from elite athletes to the average Joe and Jane. Even though I'm known in many circles for helping people build size and strength, joint rehabilitation takes up most of my time these days. Yes, joint problems are more prevalent than ever.
So I put Debbie on a program comprised of movement drills that she could do at home. Within 30 days, she restored mobility, gained strength, and was pain-free. She was so pleased with her results that she asked me to help her bring a training-based joint therapy program to the masses. I, of course, agreed that such a product is long overdue.
Before I go any further, let me explain why the other types of therapy she tried didn't work.
Most joint pain is due to a lack of mobility, a lack of endurance strength, or both. Mobility is the ability to move freely. So if you've ever felt restricted while picking up a bag of groceries or chasing your kids around the park, it's probably because you lost mobility. Endurance strength is simply defined as your ability to maintain muscle contractions for an extended period of time. I'm sure you've felt strain and pain in your low back while hunched over at your computer, or working in your garden, or just standing in line at the movies.
Stretching isn't enough because it doesn't restore movement, it just restores passive range of motion. Lifting heavy weights won't help either. Research has demonstrated that people who lack endurance strength are more likely to experience low back pain. Even if you're strong enough to lift the back-end of a minivan, you could still suffer from back pain. Why? Because heavy weight training doesn't build endurance strength. Plus, you need a balance of strength around your joints, not just on one side.
Getting cracked by a chiropractor, poked by an acupuncturist, or rubbed by a masseuse is akin to putting a band-aid on the problem. You must restore mobility and enhance endurance strength to solve the problem. Up to this point, no one has effectively tackled both of those limitations with one, simple, do-it-yourself system.

I exeperience elbow pain ( Inside tendon) while doing chin-ups. I was thinking of addin some hight rep (50 or so) sets at the end of my horizontal pull day and maybe even the day after as a rehab movement. Do you think this would help ?
It has been very difficult trying to get back into shape, as I have been struggling with a terrible case of tennis elbow for about 2 years now. I cant really play basketball, tennis, or lift weights without it killing me. I have seen doctors and PT's and always get the same advice: just rest and ice and let it heal on its own. Well, it has not healed yet and I really want to put on some muscle weight. I just recently started lifting (light weight) again, because it hurts either way, so I might as well be working out somehow. Any suggestions? I might try some creatine, glucosamine and other supplements and see if they help any. I tried one of your workout plans a few years ago and it worked great for me, so I hope I can get back to that point.
CW: You need to reduce inflammation throughout your body. Give the Warrior Diet a try.
I first learned about you a few years ago after reading an article you wrote in Men's Health magazine to promote your book, "Huge in a Hurry". I tried the sample workout included with the piece and saw immediate results and I have been a fan ever since! I even bought the book, but to be honest, I have never had the chance to read it cover to cover and have only occasionally taken workouts from it. However, I always keep an eye out for any contributions you make to MH (I am a long time subscriber) and make it a point to try any of your workouts featured in the magazine – they are great! Having said this, I have run into a little problem and am hoping you can help me. I've developed plantar fasciitis in both feet and, based on my research and an initial visit to a podiatrist, it seems that it may have been caused by a combination of my occupation (I am an I.T. consultant and travel to different clients' offices, so I am on my feet for most of the day) and my workout routines, which typically include deadlifts and squats or any of their variations. My doctor has advised me to refrain from doing those exercises for a bit and has even suggested that I might need orthotics. However, I don't want to go too long without doing those exercises because they are such great mass and strength builders. I have gotten considerably stronger in all my exercises ever since making those movements a staple of my workout routines, not to mention the fact that they have totally transformed my body. Do you have any suggestions that might alleviate or reverse the plantar fasciitis? Am I doing something wrong? I always ask the trainers at the gym to make sure that I keep my back straight/naturally arched and my feet on the ground when I do deadlifts or squats, but maybe they are missing something? I look forward to hearing any suggestions or recommendations you might have for me.
CW: Roll the bottom of each foot over a golf ball for one minute each day. Get orthodic support until the pain goes away.
I have been told by a Dr I have an impingement in my right shoulder. I am careful working out and never do any exercises that cause pain, but even if I move it wrong or sleep on it wrong I feel the pain. I know I have restricted range of motion, but I can't seem to get over the pain. Any suggestions?
CW: You said you have restricted range of motion, and that's the biggest problem. Check out the mobility drills and stretches in Huge in a Hurry. Start doing them every day and I bet your shoulder will feel better. Also, shoulder pain often takes more than just shoulder mobility work so be sure to do all the mobility drills and stretches in the book because the root of the problem could be from many different areas.
Thanks for the info. Quick follow up. I will get your book from Amazon. Just wondering if the fact that I dislocated my shoulder in college (about 25 yrs ago) resulting in a pronounced raised collar bone into my AC joint in my right shoulder will allow me to regain my range of motion through your mobility and stretching drills. I will do what it takes to alleviate the pain and restore range of motion and avoid surgery. Thanks again.
CW: Yes, it will restore your joint health.

The flag is based on the British Columbia provincial flag, with a flag diagonally divided Red/Blue and bearing the "infinity" sign replacing the Union Jack. There is a Red River Cart and a silhouette of mountains in front of the sun.
The Red River Cart is a traditional vehicle of the Metis from the Red River area, now Manitoba.
The Confederacy of Nova Scotia Métis flag incorporates the infinity symbol with respect. It is designed after the wampum belts which were used to seal Treaties between First Nations and with European and Colonial governments. The figures represent the joining of cultures which now represent our Métis People.
In the Constitution of MNS is stated that "our people occupy our Ancestral Territory, currently known as southern Canada, the United States, northern Mexico, and their surrounding areas".
The flag is at <http://www.geocities.com/metisnation/laws.html>.
According to their website, this group is a broader group than the group commonly known as the "Metis". They seem to include all people of mixed Native American with European or even African ancestry; this includes the Mestizos of Mexico, which (if I understand correctly) is the majority of Mexicans.

That's all folks! Thanks for participating.
Just a heads up. We will be shutting down the AMA Reddit at 6:00 PM MST. It's been fun!
Dang Bob, you've been a question answering machine.
Just gotta say thanks for answering so many of our questions Bob.
Do you hesitate to hint at trades/signings/information with people like Chris Nichols and David Staples making 'reports' or blogs out of tidbits from your show? Or do you not really care about it? Just curious.
Haha, thanks for answering, Bob!
1.How much control does the OEG have over oilers now if any?
2.Whats it like to be on the team charters? Are you able to talk to the players at all? Or do the media guys just stay to themselves? On average how many media guys are on the plane?
3.Whats the biggest difference between oilers now and your old show total sports?
4.Do you think the golden bears hockey team will be making a coaching change this offseason?
2. Being on the team charter is a privilege. The media that travel (6-8 of us) sit in front of the players. Experienced broadcaster/media understand their are boundaries in terms of relationships with players. We are in essence their guests on the planes.
3. Biggest difference between the 2 shows are the technical improvements. Text messaging has become the biggest way to communicate.
As a rule of thumb I can say what I what, provided I can back it up.
4. I expect Serge Lajoie back at the U of A for the upcoming season.
5. You will grow out of your rasslin' phase...we all do!
Between the Maroon trade and the rumored Yakupov + Pouliot deal, there has been a lot speculation about Anaheim and Edmonton making a trade this offseason (particularly around one of ANA's defenseman). Can you comment on the situation and if you've heard of any specifics of a potential deal? Thanks.
Hey Bob, thanks so much for coming to our little corner of the internet.
I know it must be difficult to be simultaniously a journalist and an employee of the Oilers. How do you balance these seemingly competing issues?
On that note about being unable to BS the fans, do you think that's because they're a very "hockey literate" fanbase compared to others? Do you ever find yourself changing your views or such, due to insight from just a "normal" fan?
Haha not to name any names or anything... thanks for doing this, Bob, hope you know we very much appreciate your taking the time. Enjoy your summer.
Hey, thanks a lot for the response Bob. Keep on keepin' on!
Is it important for the team to add experienced d men or would they look at adding someone who just breaking into the league? Also how much added pressure to win will there be in the new building?
Hey Bob, how does one get into sports radio broadcasting?
And what do you think of #VIEWS?
Understand that if you are going to get into sports broadcasting that it has to be a passion and you likely won't get rich. Volunteer at a Campus radio station or Campus newspaper, can go to a trade school (NAIT/SAIT/BCIT) or a University that has Journalism program. You will need a little luck along the way too!
Proud MacEwan grad of the Journalism program here! Was part of the first crop of students to take it, and it's getting a lot better. Amazing profs on the Journalism side. Would also recommend the Pro Comm side. You can get the best of both worlds.


Death is part of all our lives - the deaths of people we love, the experience of terminal illness, the grief of friends or family. Yet we tend to speak of it with difficulty. And we know little about death in other cultures - what rituals are sustaining, what might cause distress, or what is appropriate in medical procedure. Last Words is a short book about ways of acknowledging death in the different cultures and religions currently in New Zealand. While it is designed for use by people working with the dying and the bereaved, the book is also intended for general readers - the New Zealand public. The book includes sections on: different cultures and faiths; Maori perspectives; facing death; and understanding grief. Information, drawn from interviews with the different groups, is up-to-date, and based on the New Zealand context. A practical section outlines the essential points of dealing with accidents, inquests, the coroners' court, and burial. Last Words will help people deal compassionately with many aspects of death and dying. It does not, however, attempt to provide comprehensive answers or a wide-ranging analysis. This is a handbook for people working with people.


CAS (Chemical Abstracts Service) is a registry of chemical identification numbers maintained by the American Chemical Society. Although ceramic materials are generally minerals or processed minerals rather than chemicals, most do have numbers in the system. However many of the numbers do not have a high level of specificity (e.g. there is one number for kaolins, one for feldspars, one for clays). CAS numbers make it easier and faster to search online databases since the name of a given material can have many forms (sometimes dozens). Since regulatory bodies in many countries require that companies and individuals keep good records of the nature and hazards of the materials they have on hand, reference to these numbers is valuable.

This week we sit down with Dana Bucin of Murtha Cullina Attorneys at Law, the same law firm where co-host David Menard is a partner.
Dana specializes in immigration law, and in this podcast she breaks down how being an immigrant entrepreneur gave her (and others) a leg up when it came to applying for legal residency. Dana also takes time to teach us to appreciate our place in American society, as well as the changes that have made attaining legal citizenship much more difficult.

They resolve vulnerabilities that affected the "Java Secure Socket Extension" (JSSE), a software library implementing the "Transport Layer Security" protocol (TLS). TLS is used to encrypt sensitive information transferred between browsers and web servers, such as passwords and credit card data, for example.


Practice and competitive facilities are important evidence of an institution's commitment to excellence; prospective student-athletes and their parents earnestly compare them. Ohio State is fortunate to have superior competitive facilities, many of which were made possible through private philanthropy.
Most recently, the construction of the new basketball practice facility created training spaces that provide the men's and women's teams with dedicated practice courts, locker rooms and video-review rooms to assist with perfecting their talents.
Prior to the opening of the new facility in 2013, the Ohio State basketball teams utilized the Schottenstein Center and St. John Arena playing courts for daily practice schedules. A challenge for the men's and women's basketball coaches was the availability of practice space. The creation of separate auxiliary gyms at the new facility has allowed both teams greater flexibility in scheduling, allowing student-athletes to balance their academic and athletic commitments. Additional space has resulted in meeting the most important programmatic goal: increased success in student graduation and academic accomplishment.
Additionally, with the growing excellence of Ohio State basketball, more former players-both men and women-are competing professionally. The new facility welcomes them back to campus, much in the tradition of Buckeye football. Current players have the privilege to work out alongside former Buckeye greats, building the tradition of the Buckeye basketball family.

Mix the parsley and garlic together, then blend in the butter . You should get a smooth spreadable paste. Season with salt and pepper.
Spread the parsley paste onto each veal escalope. Next, put a slice of ham on each escalope and add some sliced egg into the middle. Roll each piece of meat tightly and secure with cooking twine or skewers.
Heat up a couple of tablespoons of olive oil in a pan or a pot ( that will accommodate the rolls and the sauce). Add the chopped onion and celery and fry until they start to soften.
Dust the rolls with a thin layer of flour and add to the pan. Brown them on a medium heat on both sides. Next add the wine and let it boil and reduce a bit. Then add the broth, reduce the heat, put the lid on and gently cook for a minimum of 40 minutes ( if the veal escalopes are quite thick you may need to allow more time).
Once the rolls are cooked, remove from the pot and blend the remaining sauce in a blender.
Return the sauce in the pan and carry on cooking until the sauce starts to thicken.
Once you are happy with the consistency, season with salt and pepper. Return the rolls back into the pan with the sauce, warm up and serve.

Q: Create a UINavigationController For present 2 UIViewController in Objective-C I have 2 UIViewControllers and want to have UINavigationController with UINavigationBar & UINavigationItem on them. But my code doesn't working ..
here is my code :
#import "testView1.h"
#import "testView2.h"

@interface testView1 ()

@end

@implementation testView1

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view.
    self.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor darkGrayColor];
    UINavigationController *navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:self];
    testView2 *detail = [testView2 new];
    [navController pushViewController:detail animated:YES];
}

A: Try to embed navigation controller in storyboard as below :
First select your testView1 in storyboard .
Select Navigation Controller

And Changes as below
- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view.

   /// testView2 *detail = [testView2 new];
    testView2 *detail =  [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"testView2 Identifier"]; // if you have add controller in storyboard
    [self.navigationController pushViewController:detail animated:YES];
}

A: You won't see the first View Controller because you already push the second view controller upon the navigation controller.
