Go for a Walk! Monitoring Walking for Depressed Mood
Literature suggests that exercise has benefits for health and mood. For people suffering from depression however, even summoning motivation to go for a walk can seem impossible, no matter the alleged benefits. My study builds on current articles suggesting that wearable technology like activity-tracking bracelets can have significant effects on motivation and physical health goals. The current study followed 11 individuals who met the minimum threshold for depression as measured by the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) for a period of 28 days and tracked their walking using a Jawbone UP activity bracelet. The results showed that daily activity differed significantly across participants and did not have an effect on daily scores on PHQ-9 questions except for the Question 5 related to appetite. These scores increased significantly at the end of the period (day 27 specifically) but also decrease significantly the following day (day 28) suggesting that appetite concerns fluctuate day to day and do not necessarily correlate with the number of steps. Concerns about sleep were less intense on average during the first week but fluctuated across the remaining three weeks. Scores indicating whether participants felt bad about themselves varied between high and low scores over the period and had no correlation with the number of steps.

'The Land of the Permanent Wave' Is Bud Shrake's Classic Take on '60s Texas
Andre Laguerre, the managing editor later to be dismissed by the money men, broke the news to the writer at their daily late afternoon gathering in the bar around the corner from the Time-Life Building where many of their editorial decisions took place. Sitting around the table or nearby were my wife, a State Senator in town to crown a beauty queen at a \"celebration\" the next evening, a U. S. Congressman who had come down from Washington to make a speech between the parade and the barbecue the following noon, a lumber lobbyist who is mayor of still another town owned by this same lumber company, and I think one or two more people but my memory of that evening has a few holes in it. Representative Dowdy had no faith that I would not cruise the lonely roads through the pine forests shouting, \"Dowdy drinks!\" to the farmers on their porch swings and their wives chopping weeds in hollyhock beds in front of their wooden houses.
