This May I'm riding 100 miles with Team In Training to raise a minimum of $2,300 as a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team In Training. All of us on Team In Training are raising funds to help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives.
I’m excited about completing this long bicycle ride, but am even more inspired by my reason for doing this. All of us on Team In Training are raising funds to help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives. I'm completing this bicycle ride in honor of fellow teammates and cancer survivors, Huong and Scott. Huong was diagnosed with Large B Cell Lymphoma and is in remission. Scott was diagnosed with Hodgkins when he was very young and has been living free from cancer for many years now. I will be training with Huong and Scott as the inspiration to keep my legs turning circles and to finish strong. They are the real heroes on our team, and we need your support to cross the ultimate finish line - a cure!

Donate as much as you can, and know that no amount is too small.
I truly appreciate your support and generosity!

Ithaca Health Alliance has pioneered co-op health financing & community health improvement since 1997. The health fund is an incredible resource for individuals or families who are without health insurance. Adults pay only $100 a year and get most emergency health events.
I just joined a gym after a few years of inactivity. Having recently lost about 30 pounds from working out and eating right, I decided to get some muscle tone back. When I was in college, I played Division 1 sports, which meant required weight training. But since that was more than 10 years ago I need a little help keeping track of my workout (reps and weights) so I am resorting to a strength training chart.
This one is based on a copy I got from a University web site. I plan to take this grid and do a little info design on it to make it easier on the eyes. For now here's the plain old grid...

This is really great. New York State created the NY Doctor Profile site so you can research a doctor's background (educational, certification, professional activities) and find out if there are legal actions against them. It's really hard to find a primary care physician that takes your health care insurance (Aetna in my case) without word of mouth. This helps a lot to at least weed out obviously bad choices.
There is also New York Magazine's Best Doctors list, but I doubt that most of them take insurace.
