Comments on the Illinois AHPERD Convention

I just got back from the Illinois AHPERD Convention in St. Charles IL.  It was a great convention with about 3000 people in attendance.  I just want to thank those participants who came to my three presentations.  I appreciate your interest in my work and hope that the activities I shared benefit you in your teaching.  I did submit the handouts from my sessions to the IAHPERD website and I believe they become available to all attendees on December 10th.  If you have any questions about the games and activities I presented, feel free to email or call me.  Also, if any of you are interested in my Dr. Recess program for your school or need a presenter for your Professional Development, please don't hesitate to contact me.  I am grateful for the opportunity to be a part of your convention ad I look forward to coming back again next year.  Thanks!  Curt

A German study reports that eating bread crust may potentially reduce your risk of cancer. The study found that bread crust contains more of the antioxidant called pronyl-lysine than the rest of the bread. Pronyl-lysine is effective in boosting Phase II enzymes which help defend against carcinogens.
