The fire department response to a Queen Anne-area building fire is blocking most lanes of Aurora Avenue North. Firefighters were called about 5:31 p.m. to Aurora Avenue North and Lynn Street for a fire at a four-story building, reports indicate. The northbound lanes of Aurora are closed as a result. Only one southbound lane was initially passable, but that side of the highway has since been cleared. Authorities advise motorists to find alternate routes. Fire crews have since extinguished the fire, but northbound traffic remains blocked. “It’s going to be a mess for a little while,” Seattle Fire spokesman Kyle Moore said.

“Extreme Weight Loss” Video Blog: After a Successful Transformation that Began at the CU Anschutz Health and Wellness Center, Shane and Marissa Called off the Wedding

The pain of transformation is something Dr. Holly often sees in her clients at the University of Colorado Anschutz Health and Wellness Center. She advises fans of the TV show to face their own pain in order to attain the fully energized life of their dreams.

Aurora, Colo. (PRWEB) July 01, 2015

On this week's Love Can't Weight edition of "Extreme Weight Loss" Shane and Marissa called the wedding off. In this week's video blog, the show's medical director, Holly Wyatt, MD, says watching the pain in this episode was difficult but adds that there are lessons to be learned.

Every episode of the hit ABC series “Extreme Weight Loss” Season 5 begins at the University of Colorado Anschutz Health and Wellness Center at the Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora, Colo. Holly Wyatt, MD is associate director of the center and medical director for the TV show. She is affectionately known as “Dr. Holly” to the show’s cast members and her patients.

For three weeks this summer, “Extreme Weight Loss” Season 5 offers a new twist on the series with three special companion piece editions -- "Love Can't Weight" -- in which three obese couples get in shape, both physically and emotionally, for each of their weddings. Like the cast members on “Extreme Weight Loss”, the couples spend the first part of their transformation journey at the CU Anschutz Health and Wellness Center getting guidance from Dr. Holly.

Each week, Dr. Holly watches the show then records a video blog about the episode offering fans her insight plus advice on how to begin, or continue, their own weight loss transformation journeys.

In this episode, Shane and Marissa work to break free of their sedentary lifestyles with the goal of actually being able to wrap their arms around each other for the first dance at their wedding. But, the wedding never happened.

Dr. Holly and the others involved with the show were completely surprised when the wedding was called off. She says this was a difficult episode for her to watch because it’s always hard to see people you know go through something painful. And, she struggled with what to say in this video blog.

The pain of transformation is something Dr. Holly often sees in her clients at the University of Colorado Anschutz Health and Wellness Center. As the transformation process continues, things change outside of the individual which can bring pain along with it. She says it’s a pain that must be faced in order for the individual to attain the fully energized life of their dreams.

Watch Dr. Holly as she reflects on this painful episode.

Dr. Holly’s advice:·     Learn from the lessons in this episode and don’t be afraid to change.
·     Look at your life and identify the changes you’ve been hesitating to make.
·     Be courageous. Be prepared to experience pain.
·     Take off your armor and go through the negative feelings.
·     The payoff will be your new positive feelings of joy and happiness as you begin living the life you’ve always wanted to live.

Dr. Holly’s participation in the TV show inspired her to create the CU Anschutz Health and Wellness Center’s first destination weight loss program. The weeklong Extreme Weight Loss: Destination Boot Camp is designed to provide participants with the tools they need to complete their own successful weight loss transformations— without the TV cameras! Limited space is available in upcoming boot camps and weight loss seekers are encouraged to learn more and register now.

The University of Colorado Anschutz Health and Wellness Center is recognized as a global leader in the fight against obesity. It offers some of the country’s most advanced research and science-based expertise, focusing on a comprehensive weight loss and weight management approach, including fitness, nutrition and wellness services. Follow AnschutzWell on Facebook and Twitter.

“Extreme Weight Loss” is produced by 3 Ball Entertainment. JD Roth, Todd A. Nelson, Matt Assmus and Brant Pinvidic are the executive producers. Reported by PRWeb 23 hours ago.

Fourth of July -- One Veteran's Thoughts

0
0
The Fourth of July seems like a pretty straightforward holiday: We celebrate America's independence and its commitment to freedom. But this year in particular it seems like the trouble is in the details.

As a Marine who was wounded in Iraq, I had a lot of time during my recuperation to think about what our nation's values mean. I've always believed that America was not a perfect country but one that was on a path of improving itself and striving to live up to its cherished ideals. Our own Declaration of Independence only guarantees "the pursuit of Happiness," after all, not happiness itself.

But some recent events have made me wonder how hard we are trying.

In Iraq and Afghanistan, we struggled to ensure that everyday people had the opportunity to vote, yet here at home we institute voter ID laws that raise significant barriers for some voters. We lamented the treatment of women in the Middle East, yet in America women still earn less than 80 cents for every dollar earned by men. We worked hard to convince the Shi'ites and Sunnis to work together, yet the reaction of some in our country to the Supreme Court's ruling about same-sex marriage shows that not everyone considers all of God's children to be equal.

America remains a work in progress. But we are striving to be what presidents Reagan and Obama have both called "the shining city on the hill."

Just like anything else worth having in life, our American ideals require constant care and attention. In fact, our Founding Fathers envisioned that we could continue to take such action - that is why they designed a process for constitutional amendments, a system of checks and balances, and a vibrant democratic process. They understood that America will always be a work in progress, and that is a good thing.

Internationally, then, America must continue to lead by example, to show the world that we never stop striving. During my patrols in Iraq, I thought that freedom for Iraqis meant something as basic as not being persecuted by their government or harassed by insurgent forces. But it does not stop there. Freedom is woven into the fabric of our everyday lives: how we choose to worship, where we choose to live, what we choose to do.

President Abraham Lincoln said that, "The world has never had a good definition of the word liberty, and the American people, just now, are much in want of one. We all declare for liberty; but in using the same word we do not all mean the same thing."

As we approach July 4, I've been thinking more about my own definition of our American ideals, trying to resolve the conflicting aspects of our diverse country.

The massacre of nine people at a church service in Charleston, S.C., is the most recent of a number of mass killings across our country. But I have wondered along with my friends why we hesitate to label the alleged shooter - or the killers in Aurora, CO., or Newtown, CT - as terrorists, when we feel so comfortable using that word to describe Muslims who commit violent acts. Maybe we shouldn't label any of them and instead should spend more time trying to identify why some people become so disenfranchised that they commit these acts. Let's not forget that the most devastating example of domestic terrorism, the Oklahoma City bombing, was committed by a white Christian.

The incident has also made me reflect on the way we as a country talk about our imperfect past. I think back to my high school mascot, Johnny Reb, a soldier carrying the Confederate flag. Before the mascot was replaced in 1988, I honestly had not given it much thought. But looking back, now I realize I was wrong. There is nothing pride-worthy about the Stars and Bars. It's taken us too long to move on from that relic of our past.

Like any other veteran, I believe so strongly in our country and our ideals that I swore an oath to support and defend our Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and bear true faith and allegiance to that Constitution. I want every other American to experience, enjoy and benefit from the same freedoms and liberty as I do. Ultimately, I hope we can successfully encourage those same ideals around the world as well.

We continue to be that shining city, but only because we embrace the idea of an open society where encourage many different voices. As Americans, we are united in our belief that a successful society is one that embraces change, while at the same time ensuring basic freedom and equality for all. As Lincoln noted in the Gettysburg Address, our country was "dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal." That is who we must continually strive to be. That is freedom. And as an American, a veteran, and as someone who wants to see more equality in our communities, that is what I am thinking about this year.

7 Terrible Consequences of the Illinois Government Shutdown

0
0
After a month-long budget negotiation stalemate, the Illinois state government began operating without a budget July 1. This means that the state comptroller's office won't have the legal authority to pay for any personnel or services covered by state government. It's been referred to as a "government shutdown," but it may play out more like a series of varying problems.

Comptroller Leslie Munger said three weeks ago that state employees will miss their first paychecks on July 15 if there is no budget in place. Gov. Bruce Rauner says his legal team plans to pursue a court order to keep the paychecks coming, but Attorney General Lisa Madigan says that plan won't work. House Speaker Michael Madigan announced Tuesday that the General Assembly on Wednesday will consider a 30-day emergency budget to keep essential services funded.

Everything appears to be in flux, but here's a look at some things that might happen as state government enters the legal and political limbo that comes with running the state with no spending plan.

*1. State museums could close.*

On June 2, Rauner announced plans to close five state museums if there was no budget in place July 1: the Illinois State Museum in Springfield; the Dickson Mounds Museum and archaeological site in Lewiston; and three art galleries, Chicago and the affiliated artisans' shop, the Lockport Gallery, and the Southern Illinois Art and Artisans Center at Rend Lake.

*2. State parks could close.*

For now, state parks will remain open, though it's unknown if that will be the case should the budget situation go on for an extended period.

Visitors are advised to check the Department of Natural Resources closures page when planning their trips.

*3. Secretary of State services could be affected -- eventually.*

Drivers licenses and business licenses in Illinois are issued by the Secretary of State's office. So for Illinois teens who are hoping to start cruising in their first set of wheels this summer, or for anyone who needs to renew their license to be able to drop their kids off at swim lessons or get to work, a shutdown could mean being stranded or a delay to starting new businesses in the state.

Secretary of State Jesse White's spokesperson, Dave Druker, said that the office plans to operate like normal for at least two weeks, and that the office employees would receive one more paycheck, even without a budget agreement. After a few weeks, Druker said, the office would have to reevaluate the plan, as paychecks might not be available then, and there is no guarantee that employees would come to work if they are not being paid.

"Hopefully something is worked out and a budget is agreed upon," he said. But until state funds dry up completely, "the plan is to be here."

*4. Publicly funded health care would stop or slow down.*

Care facilities throughout the state that help take care of the elderly, the disabled, the ill and children would stop receiving funding. Doctors who care for low-income or elderly patients and rely on Medicaid and Medicare money would see their payments stop. These care facilities and medical practices wouldn't be able to pay their employees or run their everyday operations, which would cause problems for the employees and their families and the patients and their families.

Ari Polstein, a marketing staffer at Countryside Care Centre in Aurora, said a shutdown would be "completely tragic" for his facility. Money to cover their Medicaid and Medicare patients would no longer be coming in, which Polstein said would be a problem, as the organization struggles to cover costs. But, he said, the employees would still do their best to care for the patients staying there.

*5. County fairs would lose their funding.*

Summer in Illinois is the season for county fairs. If the legislature and the governor can't come to a budget agreement, the annual community celebrations would lose funding for fairground maintenance and other services provided by the Department of Agriculture, says Communications Manager Kristi Jones.

*6. Social services would take a hit.*

State-funded after-school programs and daycares that receive state funds wouldn't be able to function like normal, causing inconveniences for many parents throughout the state. As Kristin McQueary points out in the Chicago Tribune, Department of Children and Family Services case workers wouldn't be able to perform their duties efficiently, meaning they could miss out on checking on abused children or working with children who are in the foster system.

*7. State government employees wouldn't be paid -- maybe.*

The Illinois state government employs tens of thousands of people. If there is no budget, the comptroller's office doesn't know who to cut checks to. Rauner told employees June 29 that he would try to keep their paychecks coming, says the Chicago Sun-Times. But Attorney General Lisa Madigan released her own statement questioning the legality of such a move. "Illinois law is clear that the State cannot continue to fund all government operations and services in the absence of a budget passed by the legislature and signed into law by the Governor," she said. Rauner did acknowledge that vendors' payments could be delayed. If the government does lose its ability to send paychecks, workers could miss out on getting paid until a budget agreement is reached, which could cause problems for them and their families.

“Extreme Weight Loss: Love Can’t Weight”: Bryce and Amber begin their wedding transformation journey at the University of Colorado Anschutz Health and Wellness Center

Bryce and Amber met through an online dating service and were instantly attracted to each other by a shared love of laughter and food. Overeating is the couple’s answer to stressful situations.

Aurora, Colo. (PRWEB) July 02, 2015

Season 5 of the hit ABC series "Extreme Weight Loss" offers a new twist with three special companion piece editions -- "Love Can't Weight" -- in which three obese couples get in shape, both physically and emotionally, for each of their weddings. In this episode, Bryce and Amber, from Southern California, are determined to put an end to their bad eating habits.

The couple’s incredible transformation will be featured on “Extreme Weight Loss: Love Can’t Weight” on TUESDAY, JULY 7 (9:00-11:00 p.m., ET/PT) on the ABC Television Network.

Bryce (35 years old) weighs 306 pounds, and Amber (32 years old) weighs 249 pounds. The two met through an online dating service and were instantly attracted to each other by a shared love of laughter and food.

Overeating is the couple’s answer to stressful situations. Food comforted Bryce during an unexpected divorce, and Amber started her bad eating habits during the drama of her parents’ divorce.

This episode reveals the couple’s roller-coaster ride through the transformation process, as Bryce sets out to become a better example for his son, and Amber takes on the challenge of replacing her old diet of 100% fast food with healthy choices.

Like the cast members on “Extreme Weight Loss,” the couples will begin their transformation journey attending boot camp at the renowned University of Colorado Anschutz Health and Wellness Center at the Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora, Colo. The center’s associate director Holly Wyatt, MD, serves as medical director for the television program. Wyatt is affectionately known as “Dr. Holly” to the cast members and is seen on the show each week helping the couples safely lose up to half of their body weight, as well as the emotional baggage that often holds one back, in preparation for their weddings.

At the end of this episode, Bryce and Amber will continue the tradition of “paying it forward” by giving a friend or family member the opportunity to transform his or her life. The CU Anschutz Health and Wellness Center will provide the designees with a place to begin their own weight loss journeys at the one-week, evidence-based Extreme Weight Loss: Destination Boot Camp transformation program.

Extreme Weight Loss: Destination Boot Camp was inspired by Wyatt’s participation in the TV show. She designed the boot camp to provide participants with the tools they need to complete their own successful weight loss transformations – without the TV cameras! Limited space is available in upcoming boot camps and weight loss seekers are encouraged to learn more and register now.

The CU Anschutz Health and Wellness Center is recognized as a global leader in the fight against obesity. It offers some of the country’s most advanced research and science-based expertise, focusing on a comprehensive weight loss and weight management approach, including fitness, nutrition and wellness services.
