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 outdoors, after all, is our natural playground. the same? Add to the issues of embarrassment! lack of outdoor facilities that encourage sol) exercise for flexibility, balance and Exercise researchers have been telling us with our busy lives, it's a good idea to fit im cise wherever we can. Think about the times you'j standing in line at the grocen store or at an amusement Those moments present us opportunities to do small, spectacular stretches for the back, neck and chest. Every we're outdoors, we also opportunities to do our training and flexibility exercistj before and after our cardio acini ties. We just have to take advai tage of them. With rising health care costs,! importance of preventive care aid the prevalence of weight-related problems plaguing us, we need encouragement, not barriers it exercise. — Linda Liddane columnist And why is it that when stretching, yoga or tai chi is done by a group outdoors, it doesn't have the same gawk factor as a solitary person doing And we need to be less shy about taking oat exercise outside. The outdoors, after all, isournat- ural playground.

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.
