THE BATTALIOX
Strength and flexibility work:
Take it outside
By Lisa Liddane
KRT CAMPUS
U
When it comes to exercise, solo cardio activi
ties _ from running to cycling to inline-skating,
can easily be done outdoors. Yet, it's still uncom
mon to find a solitary person train
ing outside for strength, balance and
flexibility.
We might see someone stretch
ing after a run, but we usually don't
see a man or woman doing an
entire yoga routine, practicing tai
chi moves or doing pushups solo
outdoors. One of the reasons may
be shyness and embarrassment
about feeling like a public specta
cle. We usually don't stare at some
one running or cycling, but if we
see someone outdoors practicing
tai chi or working on martial-arts
moves, some of us can't help hut
stare, and sometimes, point and
giggle.
We need to be
less shy about
taking our exer
cise outside. The

all, is our natural
playground.

Marilyn Manson
accused of sexual

DETROIT
(AP) — A civil
lawsuit accus
ing shock
rocker Marilyn
Manson of
sexual
assault has
been dis
missed after
MANSON
the two sides
reached a settlement, an attor
ney for the plaintiff said
Tuesday.
Security guard Joshua
Keasler was working on the
stage during a July 2001 per
formance in Detroit when
Manson allegedly approached
him, wrapped his legs around
the guard’s neck and gyrated
against him while wearing only
a leather thong and panty
hose.
Keasler had sued Manson in
U.S. District Court in Detroit
for sexual assault and inten
tional infliction of emotional
distress.
Both sides agreed not to
release terms of the settle
ment, Keasler’s attorney John
D. Nickola said in a statement.
The lawsuit was dismissed
Jan. 28.
“I can now go on with my life
and try to close this unhappy
chapter,” Keasler said.
A message seeking com
ment was left Tuesday
evening for the attorney who
represented Manson when he
pleaded no contest in 2002 to
disorderly conduct and
assault and battery in the
same incident.
Oakland County prosecu
tors originally charged
Manson, whose real name is
Brian Warner, with sexual
conduct and assault and bat
tery. District Judge Gerald
McNally threw out the sex
charge.
In the criminal proceedings,
Manson, 35, was ordered to
pay $4,000 in fines and costs.
Manson is known for his out
rageous and controversial
stage performances. He has
broken wine bottles on his
chest during performances
and ripped a Bible. Band mem
bers take their first names from
pop culture icons and their sur
names from famous serial
killers.

“There is a point at which —

told AP Radio in a recent
interview. “It made me think

try and strive to find more of a

So Ormond worked for sev
