ICA’s Council on Fitness and Sports Health Science is pleased to announce that essays are now being accepted for the 2008 Arnold Schwarzenegger Scholarship Essay Competition. The deadline for submission is February 1, 2008. This competition is open to all members of the Student International Chiropractors Association (SICA), and participants are asked to submit an essay on the theme of, “The Human Spine - A Structure Designed to be in Motion.” This theme has been chosen to focus students’ attention on the relationship between healthy exercise and a healthy spine. Candidates are encouraged to use their imagination, creativity, and the research record to develop an original paper applying chiropractic principles to this topic, not to exceed 1,250 words, excluding references and footnotes. Winners will be selected by a 5-member panel, with submissions blinded to assure objectivity. Awards will be of a minimum of $1,000, but are variable up to $2,500 depending on the number of successful applications submitted.

The successful applicants will be awarded their scholarships by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and ICA Fitness Council president Dr. Gerald R. Mattia at the 16th Annual ICA Symposium on Natural Fitness on March 1, 2008 in Columbus, Ohio. The successful papers will also be published by the ICA.

“The ICA Fitness Council is very excited about the 2008 Arnold Schwarzenegger scholarship program for SICA members, both because it is a unique opportunity for our students and because it is another demonstration of Governor Schwarzenegger’s commitment to chiropractic,” said Dr. Mattia. “ICA is very proud to have such a special relationship with the world’s most famous chiropractic patient.” The inaugural Arnold Schwarzenegger Scholarship was awarded during the March, 2007 Columbus weekend by Governor Schwarzenegger and ICA President Dr. John Maltby, the honor going to Student Doctor Adam Rodnick, Student ICA member at Life University in Marietta, Georgia.

Schwarzenegger would of course go on to become one of the most successful entertainers in box office history, but before the Austrian bodybuilder immersed himself in his lifelong ambition to act, he moved to the United States
His performance not only earned him winning reviews, but even a Golden Globe Award for Best Newcomer that year.

Well people, I was recently permitted for a student grant for my higher education. After getting off the phone with the specialist about my grant, I understood that I wanted funding for a used car versus my education since I would need the car to get to institute. If I am actually officially permitted for the grant for my education, but use the money for a down payment for a car instead would I get in some problem? What is your idea?

I felt some major déjà vu this morning as I read the news release Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger sent out from the National Governors Association conference he's attending in Philadelphia, where he's hobnobbing with his peers as well as with President-elect Barack Obama and Vice President-elect Joe Biden. He was urging Obama to make a big, immediate national investment in infrastructure both to kick-start economic growth through job creation and to lay groundwork for future decades of global competition.

"Since I took office I have been passionate about infrastructure, about rebuilding California and rebuilding America," he said in this release. "Infrastructure investment is not only necessary for long-term economic growth and global competitiveness — but it will also create jobs when Americans, and Californians, need them the most."

He went on to say that over the next 20 years, California will have more than $500 billion in infrastructure needs, and right now has more than $28 billion in projects that would be ready to break ground or place orders within four months of Obama taking office. Nationwide, more than $136 billion in projects could break ground and create jobs within two years. "This would quickly .

start to boost the economy with orders from U.S. factories for steel, cement, asphalt and other materials — creating jobs now and laying the foundation for future economic growth."

Why the déjà vu? Because just a little more than a month ago, I heard U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., say almost the exact same things at an event in San Francisco.

So Schwarzenegger's plan and this part of the Democratic playbook for economic recovery are one and the same. That's not to say he hasn't been calling for infrastructure investment for a long time — for he certainly has — but it's interesting to see how divergent roads have led to the same place.

Hey, there's no shame in it. Remember, Republican Gov. Earl Warren helped lay the groundwork for California's postwar infrastructure boom, leaving Democrat Pat Brown to run with the ball. Of course, it was Republican Ronald Reagan who started applying the brakes"...

But this need not be a partisan smackdown. The long and short of it is that we need to repair, replace and expand roads, water projects, schools and so on in the decades to come if we're going to remain a viable economic power. And we need jobs right now. So what's the problem?
