I was first introduced to the concept of Sympathetic Overdrive while attending a lecture about the etiology of autoimmune disease presented by Gary and Rain Klepper D.C. Over ten years later, any skepticism I had regarding the importance of this concept has fully dissolved. There is an array of chronic diseases, including many autoimmune and skin disorders, which are ultimately and intimately related to gut health. Overlooking this single issue can render an otherwise sound treatment protocol slow or ineffective. For successful treatment of gut-related conditions it is imperative that the presence and severity of sympathetic overdrive be assessed and addressed.
Understanding Sympathetic Overdrive
There are two major parts of the nervous system. The parasympathetic, which is activated when we relax, is known as the "rest and digest" part of our nervous system. It stimulates blood flow to the digestive system, brain, extremities and sexual organs. The other part, the sympathetic nervous system, is responsible for the "fight or flight" response. It is activated when our body perceives stress. It reduces blood flow to the extremities, brain and digestive organs in preparation for a perceived survival situation. As we go through our daily lives, our external circumstances and our thoughts stimulate a constant dance between these two aspects of the nervous system. When a person is constantly stressed, their nervous system can be tilted into the state of sympathetic overdrive. The stress can be brought on by various factors including constant worry, skipping meals, not getting adequate rest, not allowing adequate time to carry out tasks and difficult life situations. People who work long hours that involve concentration and active thinking are prone to sympathetic overdrive. This condition is rampant in corporate executives and hedge fund managers. It can also be triggered by situations that remind our subconscious of stressful or scary events from our past.
When a person experiences enough stress to stimulate the sympathetic nervous system, they often experience cold hands and feet. Less noticeable but more serious is the reduced blood flow to the digestive tissues. If this only happens occasionally, the system usually has the resilience to recover. However, if the body is in a state of sympathetic overdrive, tissues of the digestive system constantly experience a state of reduced blood flow and oxygen exchange. Elevated levels of cortisol, the stress hormone, can lead to further damage to these tissues.
The effects of reduced blood flow from sympathetic overdrive interferes with the proper functioning of digestive organs, alters the balance of microbes residing within the gut, reduces the proper functioning of the immune system and interferes with proper filtering of nutrients that are absorbed. Many of the beneficial bacteria and fungi growing in our gut only thrive in an oxygen environment. These bacteria are known as aerobes. As the oxygen supply diminishes with circulation, bacteria that thrive in the absence of oxygen, anaerobes, begin to replace the withering populations of aerobic bacteria. Clostridium Difficile (aka C. Diff), a common infection in hospitals, is a classic anaerobic bacterium. Aside from C. Diff., there are likely hundreds of species of anaerobic bacteria that can or do reside in the human gut. So far, it is estimated that we've only been able to culture and identify between 1-5% of these organisms. However, we know they exist because we can test for one of their main waste products, beta-glucuronidase. This little waste product can reap havoc on the body's detoxification systems and will be discussed in another article.
One would expect significant digestive disturbances in this situation. However, some people never experience any digestive symptoms. In the past 15 years I have seen hundreds of patients who tested positive for overgrowth of C. Diff, numerous pathogens or the presence of beta glucuronidase with no digestive symptoms. On the other hand, most of these patients had other significant chronic diseases including eczema, psoriasis, tyramine intolerance, rheumatoid arthritis, Hashimoto's thyroiditis and fibromyalgia. I want to be absolutely clear that this scenario is only one piece of the puzzle in healing these diseases.
There are very few possibilities to explain how pathogenic bacteria can thrive in the digestive tract without initiating a proper immune response. The most logical explanation is the disruption of proper immune functioning from gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT). I suspect that this system either becomes defective or overloaded. As a result, the constant stream of antigens override this system and they are passed along to other parts of immune system in the mucosa associated lymphoid tissue (MALT). As a result, inflammatory conditions, like eczema and joint stiffness, arise in other parts of the body. This too is a very large subject that I will discuss in another article or in my book.
Assessing the Presence and Severity of Sympathetic Overdrive
There are several key signs that suggest a patient is experiencing Sympathetic Overdrive. Many of these were originally observed in the Traditional Chinese Medicine literature under the concepts of Liver Qi Stagnation, Liver overacting on Spleen and/or Stomach. Obviously, there are variations but here are some basic guidelines.
- Cold hands and feet – This symptom can arises when the stress response is fairly pronounced. Of course, it can be caused by other conditions that affect circulation. However, as a general rule, if the patient is experiencing both cold hands and feet, it is usually a symptom of sympathetic overdrive.
- Constipation or sluggish bowel movements without dry stools – the reduction of circulation to the digestive system slows churning in the intestinal tract and can lead to mild constipation or sluggish movement. It is possible to have constipation with dry stools along with this condition but it will not be caused by it.
- Overgrowth of anaerobic bacteria or elevated beta-glucuronidase on a stool and digestive analysis.
- Any symptom that is generally worse with stress is often related to sympathetic overdrive.
Treating Sympathetic Overdrive
There are multiple ways of treating this problem. However, tools that the patient can use several times per day will accelerate progress. The most powerful remedy for this situation is a variation of abdominal breathing that originated from the ancient practice of Qi Gong. This exercise, acts as a pump to restore circulation to the digestive tissues and directly stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system.
Instructions: Stand with your feet shoulder width apart and your knees slightly bent. Place your hands on the lower abdomen below the naval bringing your attention to this area. Inhaling deeply, extend your abdomen out as if it is a balloon filling with air. Exhale and squeeze the lower abdomen in imagining that you are trying to touch your naval to your spine. The repetitions can be done fairly quickly averaging about 1 every 3-4 seconds or slowly for a deeper meditative effect. You can also do this exercise while driving or lying down. Repeat 5-10 times several times per day or whenever symptoms appear. For amazing abdominal muscles repeat 100-200x per day.
You can find other meditative and breathing exercises in my previous post "Finding Inspiration Through Respiration"
Abdominal heat packs – simply applying heat to the abdominal area can stimulate circulation to these tissues and stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system.
Acupuncture is powerfully effective for "resetting" the nervous system and reducing stress. It has been demonstrated to treat the most extreme version of sympathetic overdrive, which we call post-traumatic stress disorder or PTSD. It is so effective that a few years ago, the U.S Department of Defense funded The Air Force Acupuncture Center. This is a clinic dedicated to treating military personnel who suffer from PTSD. It is used as a practice and training facility for physicians and medical professionals for "battlefield acupuncture".
Herbs and Homeopathic Remedies that Really Work
Please note that all of these recommendations should be administered under the guidance of a qualified health care provider.
Rescue Remedy – This is available in all health food stores and online. Its intended use was originally for stress and traumatic experiences. I have found it to be incredibly helpful for treatment of gut disorders that involve sympathetic overdrive. Just follow the instuctions.
Psy-Stabil by Pekana – This is another remedy that falls under the practice of homotoxicology, which is slightly different from homeopathy. Its effects are similar to Rescue Remedy but may be a bit stronger. It is also very helpful for relieving anxiety.
Rhodiola – This herb is literally miraculous for restoring circulation to the digestive system and also balancing the nervous system. It is also helpful for treating addiction and some causes of depression. Be careful! It has some interactions with medications. Practitioners, be sure to take the time to inform yourself before prescribing it.
Lactobacillus Rhamanosus – This beneficial bacterium is one of the few that generates hydrogen peroxide. It is very helpful for reintroducing oxygen to the digestive tract and reducing overgrowth of C. Diff and other obligate anaerobes.
Other tips for preventing stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system:
- Don't skip meals! Every time your body has to accommodate a drop in blood sugar, it stimulates the production of cortisol and initiates a stress response
- Take time everyday to do nothing
- Give yourself the gift of extra time to complete tasks. Cramming more and more tasks into your day increases stress and reduces creativity and the possibility of spontaneity.
- Pay attention to the situations and people in your life who make you feel stressed. Reflect on why they trigger these feelings in you and decide if there are ways of managing your exposure to them.
- Spend time in Nature. This is proven to reduce stress levels.
"Healing is a matter of time, but it is sometimes also a matter of opportunity." – Hippocrates

Mike D'Auria scored a season-high 25 points to lead the Engineers, and led all scorers with 16 points in the second half. Despite D'Auria's efforts, the Engineers struggled in the final 20 minutes, especially on the glass, where they were out-rebounded, 34-22.

I think they should have an episode where they do a recap on all the top 24's performance (auditions, hollywood round) to give us a better idea who America is actually voting for.
Quote from: Joab on February 18, 2010, 12:19:54 AMI think they should have an episode where they do a recap on all the top 24's performance (auditions, hollywood round) to give us a better idea who America is actually voting for.While I don't think Idol will ever do that, I agree that it would be nice. Last year was worse since it was more of a one-and-done deal (or one-and-F12). However, one performance and 1-2 days to decide isn't enough time to make an accurate decision. Some of those folks weren't even shown during the audition & Hollywood rounds.Fortunately, there have been contestants that have survived this disadvantage on the way to the Top 12, but it still would be nice to see some sort of Top 24 preview show. Especially if you're Tim Urban, who replaced the recently disqualified Chris Golightly.
Shelby will be on Ellen tomorrow. Wonder what she will be offered based on what they are doing for Angela. Sorry using first names only because I'm too lazy to look up their last name.

2. Mortgage options
Choose between repayment or interest-only. If opting for interest-only, you must sort out a repayment scheme such as an Isa or endowment.
3. Mortgage type
Fixed, capped, discount, tracker or variable? Trackers move rates down (and up) in line with base rate. Fixes make sense on very big loans, where rate rises would hurt the borrower.
4. Find a house/make an offer
Currently the typical offer is 5-10% below the asking price.
5. Do a survey and valuation find a surveyor at rics.org.uk or call RICS: 0870 333 1600. Three levels of surveys. Basic is a simple valuation survey, paid by the lender.

STILLWATER, Okla. Boosters and assistant coaches at Oklahoma State handed out tens of thousands of dollars to players, including some from Houston, for at least a decade as the program grew into a national power under coaches Les Miles and then Mike Gundy, according to a Sports Illustrated article released Tuesday.
The article, which quoted several former players by name, said some players received $2,000 to $10,000 annually, with a few stars receiving $25,000 or more. Eight players told SI they received cash, while 29 others were named by teammates as taking money. The transgressions cited stretched from 2001 until at least 2011, the magazine said.
Memorial's Brad Girtman, who played at OSU from 2003-04, and Galveston Ball's Rodrick Johnson, who played from 2004-07, both were quoted as stating they received money from boosters. North Shore's Bobby Reid, Calvin Mickens from Beaumont and Thomas Wright from Sweeney are also mentioned in the story. Reid (who also earned instant fame since he was the subject of Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy's infamous "I'm a man!" speech in 2007) denies ever receiving money for play while at the university.
Oklahoma State said it has notified the NCAA about the report and launched its own investigation.
Sports Illustrated said its five-part series included interviews with more than 60 former players who played for Oklahoma State from 2001-10. Among the allegations of misconduct and potential NCAA violations are:
— An Oklahoma State assistant coach, Joe DeForest, paid cash bonuses to players of up to $500 for performance.
— Boosters and assistant coaches funneled money to players and provided sham jobs for which players were paid.
— Tutors and school personnel completed school work for players and professors gave passing grades for little or no work.
— The program's drug policy was selectively enforced, allowing some players to go unpunished for repeated positive tests.
— Some members of a hostess program used by the football coaching staff had sex with recruits.
NCAA rules bar boosters from providing cash or other benefits based on athletic performance. NCAA spokeswoman Emily Potter declined comment when asked about Oklahoma State, citing the organization's longstanding policy.
Girtman said he saw some star players get "monster payments," while he once received $500 from a member of the football staff.
Girtman said the rates were told to him by DeForest, who ran special teams and the secondary under Miles and then was an associate head coach under Gundy, the current head coach, from 2005-11.
Girtman also said he recalled DeForest handing him a debit card in 2003 with $5,000 on it, and that it was periodically refilled. DeForest and assistant Larry Porter, the running backs coach from 2002-04, also made payments directly to players, SI reported. Porter is currently the running backs coach at the University of Texas.
UT athletic director DeLoss Dodds said Porter was questioned and "we do not have any issues with him at this time."
From the SI article:
For Girtman, quarterback hurries were worth $50, a tackle between $75 to $100 and a sack from $200 to $250. Echoing his teammates' claim, Girtman says the rates were told to him by assistant Joe DeForest, who ran the special teams and secondary under coach Les Miles from 2001 to '04, and was the associate head coach, special teams coordinator and safeties coach under current coach Mike Gundy from 2005 to '11. When players met with their position coaches after games, according to Girtman, DeForest would go from group to group and discuss with the players what they had done. "Your stats definitely dictated how much you were getting," Girtman says.
Linebacker-defensive end Rodrick Johnson (2004 to '07) told SI it was openly discussed among teammates that DeForest set rewards of between $100 to $500 for a big play on special teams.
University of Texas running backs coach Larry Porter (who was the RB coach at Oklahoma State from 2002-04) is also accused of paying players in the article:
DeForest and assistant Larry Porter, who was running backs coach from 2002 to '04, also made straight payments to players. Girtman says that when he arrived in Stillwater in the summer of 2003, DeForest handed him a debit card with $5,000 on it, which was periodically refilled. Ricky Coxeff, a cornerback in 2003 and '04, says he waited in the car on several occasions as Williams and Bell visited DeForest at his home and then returned with cash. Shaw says that Porter gave him $100 "four or five times," telling him to use the money to get something to eat. Several weeks before the start of fall camp in '03, Carter says that Porter gave him "a couple hundred bucks" in the locker room so that incoming freshmen Coxeff and defensive lineman Xavier Lawson-Kennedy could stay at Carter's apartment — before they were allowed under NCAA rules to begin receiving room and board. Lawson-Kennedy confirms that he and Coxeff stayed at Carter's apartment.

Florida St - 51 NC State - 7
Seminoles -32
Wolfpack coming off 2 SU losses to Syracuse & Wake
It doesn't look good for this team right now to be playing a team that takes no prisoners.
Seminoles -
Make a note folks, easy to see who are not bettors here, just cheerleaders waving their pom poms and drinking their team's Kool Aide. Think they make themselves bigger by tearing down other teams. Just the facts, mam. If you want to promote the Ducks for #2, get you a voting card for the polls, we don't care....just need good info and insight on the game matchups. Let others decide that crap, nothing matters but wining your own conference anyway, that is all you can control. MNC is just a popularity contest. We will see when we get a decent playoff, still want say who is best, but it will be a championhip that is earned on the field. All teams start at zero next year.

Drake + Common Talk Out Beef, Hang Together at NBA All-Star Game
Where's the beef? Not between Common and Drake — at least not anymore.
RapFix [via Toronto Life] reports that the two feuding emcees settled their differences at the Grammy Awards and were photographed hanging out together at this weekend's NBA All-Star game. It's good to see they don't hold grudges!
Common explained his chat with Drizzy in a recent interview. "We had a talk, we had a conversation. It was a face-to-face, man-to-man, a positive thing. It was a good conversation," Common said. "I've learned to respect him even more. I already thought he was a talented guy, but just from the conversation we had, I hold even more respect for him."
So how did the reconciliation start? "We saw each other and the conversation was initiated. It was just a respectful conversation that needed to be had, so he knew that I'm not at him trying to destroy him as a human being," Common explained. "It was a hip-hop battle to me. I had to put all of those things into hip-hop … I gave him a pound, gave him a boom and it was all love."
So what was the beef about? Rumors swirled that it revolved around Common's ex, Serena Williams, but he assures that's not the case. "Nah, it wasn't about Serena," he said. "First of all, that is a past situation. … But it was more based on the fact that I felt like Drake was taking a couple of shots at me, and saying a couple of things that I felt like were towards me. Once that was said, I felt a little disrespected and it kept going on and I decided to say what I needed to say at that point," he explained.
"I think first and foremost, he's a very talented guy and I send much love to him and to continue to do what he's doing. I'm just going to keep doing what I'm doing. It was a good battle, we got it done, it's done. It's over. It's not over any woman."
We're glad to see all that imagining came true.


text: Last week's game was obviously not what we have all been waiting for since last year's playoff appearance, but it was only 1 game and I think we all need to move on and try and enjoy the rest of the season. On that note, is anybody still going to Detroit on Sunday? My wife and I will be there wearing Red and hopefully watching our Boys turn it around with a big win.

Are you ready for some punctuation fun?! Today we're looking at how to use exclamation marks (also known as exclamation points) in your written work!
The exclamation mark is becoming more common, especially online (the Wild West of the written word). But there are some things you need to know about how they should be used.
When to Use an Exclamation Mark
Originally called a 'note of admiration', exclamation marks are still used to express excitement. However, they can also show surprise or other strong emotions. They're used with short interjections (e.g. 'Wow!'), too.
- Excitement – 'I'm really looking forward to the weekend!'
- silver Curvy Grey Field Dark Top Anna Surprise – 'You can't be serious!'
- Interjection – 'Wait! I forgot to tell you about the shark!'
silver Anna Dark Top Curvy Field Grey There's no restriction on the type of sentence that can end with exclamation points, but they're best saved for saying something forceful or emphatic.
Punctuating Exclamations
Exclamation marks are a form of terminal punctuation, so they usually take the place of a full stop at the end of a sentence:
I'm so excited about punctuation! ✓
I'm so excited about punctuation!. ✗
You can also use exclamation points in parentheses within a longer sentence. In these cases, the sentence should end with a standard full stop:
Punctuation doesn't excite me (not even exclamation marks!). Field Grey Dark silver Top Curvy Anna ✓
Punctuation doesn't excite me (not even exclamation marks!) ✗
Furthermore, when an exclamation point occurs in written dialogue, it replaces the mid-sentence comma before the closing speech mark:
'I can't believe you ate the whole thing,' Bob said. ✓
'I can't believe you ate the whole thing!' Bob said. ✓
'I can't believe you ate the whole thingAnna Top Dark Field silver Curvy Grey !,' Bob said. ✗
Formal Writing
Exclamation marks are rare in formal writing, where excessive enthusiasm is usually inappropriate. This isn't to say you can never use an exclamation mark in formal writing. But you should ask yourself whether it's necessary to use an exclamation point instead of a full stop.Variant Cavalli Teal Just Shirt Men's qItTq4wd
Too Many Exclamations!!!
The author Terry Pratchett suggested that sanity is inversely proportional to the number of exclamation marks a person uses. This is a little harsh, but it's true that multiple exclamation marks at the end of a sentence are rarely necessary, even in informal writing.
So remember: one exclamation point is enough! The only reason you'll need more is to give the impression of someone losing control.
Added warning: IF YOU COMBINE EXCLAMATION MARKS WITH ALL CAPS, YOU CAN SEEM A BIT UNHINGED AND SHOUTY!!!!

Craig Winchell wrote:I believe I said before that the sweet spot is around $25/bottle average and 14,000 cases, at least at this time. This assumes purchased fruit and 100%distribution rather than direct sales ($12.50 per bottle return to the wine company). 14,000 cases at that price allows adequate pay to workers, with good salaries to winemaking and marketing teams, and good returns to investors, and more than enough marketing and sales budget to sell that much wine. Of course, one always hopes for full price direct sales, but it's a worst case scenario. It works out to around 25% profit on $2 Million in sales, after factoring in all costs. No wonder people like the wine biz. That's a nice, tiny winery by CA standards. Since it's an average, it allows wines below $20, and of course, above $30 or even way more. But it does mean making a concerted and continuous effort at sales. People like the Weiss boys do the micro production and high prices because they can have little investment and still make enough in distributions to make significant parnassa above their day jobs, but it doesn't pencil out for real investors who want regular cash flows generated from an initial investment, as well as capital appreciation. If I had had the investors, I'd have started from scratch doing things the right way. I had potential investors, but not enough money to do things right. Thus, the boobie prize of working for someone else. But it allowed me to identify a potential opportunity that could get me some semblance of independence.

Five female students from Illinois's Monmouth College, several of them members of the sorority Kappa Kappa Gamma, allegedly conducted a "raid" on a local nativity scene Friday — they stole Mary, Joseph, Jesus, and some animals, then sped off in a maroon SUV. The women will face misdemeanor theft charges and, obviously, an eternity in hell.

Video: Kepler's mission comes to an end, and begins anew
NASA decided back in April to keep the Kepler program going through fiscal year 2016.
The Kepler Space Telescope's primary mission has ended, NASA announced on Wednesday, but that doesn't mean that it's being shut off.
Launched in 2009, the $591 million telescope was designed to keep constant surveillance on a small patch of sky containing 150,000 stars to measure changes in light from those stars. Regular, minute dips in the stars' brightnesss would be evidence of orbiting planets blocking the stars' light.
The plan was to keep the telescope going for at least three years or so before funding for the program would run out. However, NASA decided back in April to keep the program going through fiscal year 2016.
Since it's been in operation, researchers using the telescope have identified more than 2,300 possible planets orbiting stars other than our own, 100 of which have been confirmed, according to NASA. Of the planet candidates, hundreds are the size of Earth, orbit distances from their host stars where water can exist as a liquid, or both. Liquid water is essential for life as we know it.
Based on Kepler's findings, researchers estimate that at least one-third of stars in our galaxy have orbiting planets. The telescope's extended mission will help scientists identify those planets that could possibly harbor life, Kepler Principle Investigator William Borucki said, according to a NASA press release .
Below is an animation produced in August by Alex Parker, a postdoctoral researcher in planetary science at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. It shows all 2,299 Kepler planets and planet candidates discovered through February 2012, represented to scale, as if they all orbited one star. The animation was posted online to Vimeo and YouTube.

My necktie collection needs a makeover, at least some vim and a spray-down with Febreze to mask their musty smell.
I keep my collection hanging on a tie rack shoved in the far corner of my closet, barely within reach and safe from potentially damaging ultraviolet rays. Wearing ties underwhelms me, though I consider three as prized possessions. These include a tie that celebrates horseracing at the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club, another tastefully decorated with the Great Seal of the State of New York (my home state), and one littered with different Donald Duck facial expressions, a gift from a former boss who had a tendency to call me "Duck" instead of Doug.
Results from a small controlled experiment published online Feb. 3, 2012, in the Journal of Hospital Infection have me worrying about my tie collection now, though. If its results are correct, these ties collectively might contain enough bacteria to grow mushrooms that I could add to a homemade marinara sauce, perhaps even enough to help spawn life on some planet in a faraway galaxy.
For the experiment, a team of researchers from Scott and White Healthcare, a general medical and surgical hospital based in Temple, Tex., set out to investigate the extent to which shirt sleeve length and/or the wearing of a tie affects the rate of transmission of bacteria from an examiner to a patient. One physician wore four clothing combinations: long sleeve shirt with unsecured tie, long sleeve without tie, short sleeve with tie, and short sleeve without tie. The physician performed mock history and physical examinations on five clothed mannequins dressed in hospital gowns in a simulation center while the researchers obtained cultures from the physician's tie, shirt sleeves, and from each mannequin's cheek, right hand, and abdomen before and after the mock examinations.
"The control cultures of the physician's clothing inoculation sites in each combination group both before the first simulated patient interaction and after the last one demonstrated greater than 300 colony-forming units of micrococcus on each," the researchers reported. "This confirmed the assumption that the bacteria were alive prior to and at the end of the encounters. The culture of the deliberate contamination site grew 44 colonies, demonstrating the ability of the mannequin to be inoculated by an article of clothing."
They went on to discover that cultures taken from the abdomen, cheek, and hand sites of the mannequin prior to encounter "grew a total of five colonies of contaminant bacteria. There was no growth of micrococcus on any simulated patient prior to the history and physical examination."
Simulated patient encounters in which an unsecured tie was worn had significantly more mannequins contaminated with micrococcus compared with those encounters in which an unsecured tie was not worn. However, sleeve length had no significant impact on the colonization rates.
"Neckties most often end at the waist, swing, and are not readily machine washable," the researchers observed. "In patient interactions, unsecured ties may swing across an infected field either to transmit bacteria to the patient, or to the cleansed hands of the provider which are then transferred to the patient. Our report provides evidence for a policy suggesting that physicians should not wear unsecured ties when seeing patients."
The experiment did not factor in the game-changing potential of wearing tie tacks to keep neckties from swinging like a pendulum.
I guess it was only a matter of time before neckties would become the subject of healthcare-associated infection risk, with previous studies having established clear bacterial transmission links through unwashed hands, hospital curtains, and white coat sleeves. It begs a sobering question, though: where is the next undiscovered bacterial carrier lurking? Let me mull that over, but I'd like to wash my hands first.

Philip Seymour Hoffman's death is the worst. Seriously. In much the same way that Chris Kelly's was. Or Cory Monteith's. And if you're now looking at me like I'm crazy for even using Hoffman and Monteith in the same article, hear me out: It's not because they were equal talents. Your opinion on that probably depends on whether you're 15 or 35. This is not about losing one of the greatest talents of our time. Their deaths are horrific because they died alone, victims of an incredibly lonely disease. And what's worse, they didn't have to be alone. Loving significant others, loving children, admiration from everyone around them- if they could, I'm sure they would have chosen those things.
My dad was my biggest fan. He was the biggest fan of all of his kids. I was probably the only one who realised it, and I understand why. But when he died, wasted away and a shell of his former self after a lethal fall, the only possessions he had were photos of us and letters we'd written him decades ago. He would have liked to have been at our sporting events and our graduations, but instead he was drinking himself to death in a second-floor apartment in my hometown, bipolar disorder only adding immediacy to the fatal inevitabilities of his alcoholism. Anyone who thinks dying from an overdose is selfish has a weird idea of what an addict wants out of life. There comes a point at which drinking, drug use, all that - they're not fun anymore. Philip Seymour Hoffman wasn't out partying. He was alone in his bathroom, compelled. Cory Monteith in his hotel room. Chris Kelly in his living room. All the money in the world, all the adoring fans in the world, and, to see the comments people make on their deaths, they were selfish assholes who chose drugs over the people who loved them.
I guarantee that every time Hoffman put that needle in his arm, he felt guilty. He felt conflicted. He craved that high that would take the pain away, but knew the pain he caused himself and those around him every time he took a hit.
We all have destructive habits. If we're lucky, it's watching too much TV when it's inhibiting our productivity, or looking at porn when we think it's a sin, or lying, cheating, overeating. If we're lucky, our addictions won't kill us. The majority of us can go through a partying phase and then grow up, settle down, and put down the sauce. But for an unfortunate group, the need to keep going becomes as pervasive as the need to eat or sleep. And we call them selfish, as if they would prefer to be a slave to the thing that's ruining everything good in their lives.
When tragedies like these deaths happen to celebrities, they should be a wake-up call for the rest of us. If someone who has everything going for them can be so horribly enslaved to what they know could kill them, imagine what it's like for the average addict. Addiction is bigger than class, race, religion, or any other factor that one might hope would reduce its captive hold. Succumbing to it isn't selfish. It's horribly sad and extremely difficult to prevent, even though it is, in theory, preventable. The way we talk about a celebrity who ODs says a lot about the way we think about people who are struggling around us. It's time we tried to understand struggles we don't endure ourselves. It's called empathy, and we could all use a lot more of it.

LOS ANGELES – When Landon Donovan returns to the LA Galaxy late next month, he won't be wearing the captain's armband. That's now in possession of Robbie Keane.
Head coach Bruce Arena acknowledged the change of captains for the first time during Wednesday night's team charity appearance at the Grammy Museum at the LA Live entertainment district, telling Galaxy fans that "Robbie Keane will be our captain to start the season, and he will be our captain this season."
Keane, who also captains Ireland's national team, served last season as vice-captain to Donovan, who has been LA's official leader since returning from the 2006 World Cup, aside from David Beckham's reign the latter part of 2007 and during the 2008 season.
"He's a fabulous choice as captain," Arena told media after the Galaxy's "Kickoff" assembly and unveiling of their second kit. "He's a quality player, he's a quality leader, so Robbie's prepared to lead this team."
PHOTOS: Galaxy reveal new second kit for 2013
Keane, a Best XI forward who scored 23 goals in all competitions last season, has been a club leader since signing as LA's third Designated Player in August 2011.
"I didn't notice there was any change," said midfielder Mike Magee, who figures to play up front alongside Keane in Donovan's place during Sunday's MLS opener against Chicago. "Robbie was ... I mean, I guess our captain. I mean, Landon wore the band, but I don't think anything is going to change with what [Keane] does or his presence in the locker room or around the field. But it's very deserving."
Defender Todd Dunivant said that Keane "leads by example first and foremost. He's a bit of a jokester, and he's one of the guys – or, as he would say, he's one of the 'lads.' ... He's a guy that's passionate, and that shows on the field. It makes everybody better because he holds a certain standard that you have to meet, and if you're not, he'll let you know about it."
READ: Without Beckham, Galaxy must change their style
Keane, 32, can be fiery, and when he is, his brogue can be difficult to decipher.
"He's the guy who's gonna let you know when things are good, and he's definitely going to let you know when things are bad," Dunivant said. "He's a guy who easily leads by example and tends to use his mouth as well. ... Usually when he gets overly fired up, you tend to not understand a word he says, so you can kind of just nod and get away with it."
The move has been expected since an exhausted Donovan took an extended leave of absence after last year's MLS Cup victory over Houston. The 30-year-old forward plans to return to the Galaxy the last week of March and likely will not play until at least mid-April, perhaps later.
"If Landon comes back and he's not officially captain, he's still going to be a leader and he's still going to be the heart and soul of this team, like he's been for [almost a] decade," Dunivant said. "Landon will be fine, no doubt. He's not going to lose his standing in the team or his place in the team, and we all know that."
The Galaxy open the 2013 season on Sunday vs the Chicago Fire at 2 p.m. PT at The Home Depot Center. Tickets are still available as low as $20. BUY NOW

It's time for my warm weather motto: I may hate the heat, but I heart farmers markets. I also heart venturing into other neighborhoods and secretly pretending that I live in them. The day will come that I move out of my dear Division St. apartment. That day could bring me further-out southeast into a neighborhood I have strong feelings for – Lents. I'm a frequent visitor to the farmers market, particularly come late July, because the hot pepper prices are unreal. I took my first trip of the season to the market opener on Sunday, and while I was 'out there', I stopped by J.C. Rice Noodle for a couple pounds of their fresh namesake, fresh tofu, and continued onto Fubonn for randomness. Once home, I quickly threw together something of a Pad Kee Mow with saucey, soft tofu and roasted peanuts taking the place of the scrambled eggs.
There is nothing quite like the combination of fresh rice noodles you pull apart with your hands, salty soy sauce, hot chiles and fresh yet sweet Thai basil. What a freaking thrill to semi-confidently create things like this (without the worries of fishy sauces) at home. WHAT A FREAKING THRILL.
Spicy Thai Basil Noodles with Soft Tofu and Peanuts
Serves 3-4
Note: This sauce is based on my own taste buds of the moment. If you like things sweeter/saltier/spicier, do it. I'll be listing the bolded ingredients in rounds, as I started mixing and cooking like so…
Round 1 of Ingredients:
- 1/2 package soft, water packed tofu, drained
- 2 tablespoons vegetarian stir fry/mushroom sauce, like this
- 2 tablespoons tamari or soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons vegetarian fish sauce, like this
- 1 small handful roasted peanuts
- 1 teaspoon ketchup
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon chili garlic paste, like so
- dash of black sesame oil
- pinch turmeric
- pinch black salt
- fresh lime juice, to taste
Mash together the tofu and above ingredients with a fork in a medium or large bowl. Leave some chunks of tofu. Set aside.
Round 2
- 1.5 cups chopped vegetables: I went with swiss chard, daikon, carrots, asparagus and zucchini
- 1-2 cups of vegan protein of choice: tempeh cubes, tofu strips, seitan, or tofu sheet knots
- Cooking oil of choice
If using a frozen protein, make sure to defrost. Pan fry your protein in 1/2 tablespoon oil on medium heat for 5 minutes, turning over to reach a golden brown. Remove from oil and set aside.
Heat the same pan and add more oil if needed (I didn't). Add your vegetables and stir fry for an additional 5 minutes over medium heat. Add a tiny splash of vegetable broth or white wine if vegetables begin to stick. You want to keep your vegetables vibrant – do not over cook. Remove from pan and set aside.
In the same pan you keep on using, sauté the following:
- 1 clove minced garlic
- 2 garlic scapes, chopped (whatever, use the top!)
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 1-3 minced Thai chiles – stick to 1 if you're unsure and grab the Sriracha later!
- 1/2 tablespoon cooking oil

What kind of Red-Crested Breegull spends all of her time stuffed inside the backpack of an adventuring bear? A Red-Crested Breegull with nowhere else to go.
Dorkly takes a pixelated look at the bird/bear relationship that many gamers never stopped to question. Rare made the whole thing just seem so natural in their platforming series, to the point where, confronted by a bear without a bird stuffed in its backpack, gamers became confused and disoriented.
Now we learn the relationship was nowhere near as natural as it seemed. Somewhere a family of Red-Crested Breegull's mourns. Remember that next time you go on a fantastical adventure.

Linear RAID
When I was updating the article yesterday, I had tried to fit the section about linear raid (boot a VM from a partition by prepending a MBR to it) into the article better. But I'm not sure the technique described is the right one at all. It looks like it works, but wouldn't it be easier to install a bootloader directly to the partition (e.g. syslinux)? Then the VM could be booted directly from the partition simply by using it as its virtual disk. --Synchronicity (talk) 19:23, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
needed Tap networking with QEMU scripts a rewrite?
Scripts from Tap networking with QEMU section uses tunctl provided by the package uml_utilities but doesn't exist on the repositories.
- I've changed all the scripts to work with ip tuntap instead of tunctl. Sadly tuntap is lacking one option which was used, a solution was found in the forums and I based one of the changes on it. Yochai (talk) 18:08, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
Removing sections for EOL versions of Windows
I think we should remove the instructions/sections for versions of Windows that are not supported by Microsoft anymore/are considered end-of-life. QEMU#Windows-specific_notes still has sections for Windows 95 through Windows 2000. Microsoft stopped supporting Windows 2000 in 2010. I think we should keep anything that is generally applicable to Windows XP (and recent) from those sections and get rid of the rest of it.
Does anyone object?
-- Jstjohn (talk) 08:29, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
- I think it's fine to remove everything before XP, after all this is not Windows chronicle... So +1 from me.
- -- Lahwaacz (talk) 15:35, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
- Go for it, I'd also be curious to know how much information in the article is duplicating http://wiki.qemu.org/ which would be bad according to Help:Style#Hypertext metaphor.
- -- Kynikos (talk) 11:31, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
- I've just removed that old information. I agree that it would be good for someone to go through QEMU's wiki and eliminate any duplicated information.
- -- Jstjohn (talk) 01:03, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
- http://wiki.qemu.org/ isn't very verbose, many instructions are not for Arch and it may contain outdated information (last edit on most pages 1-2 years back), so I think deduplication is not necessary.
- http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/QEMU is much more verbose, but the same as above applies, so I think deduplication is not necessary in this case either.

qemu-* vs qemu-system-*?
What's the difference between qemu-* and qemu-system-*? So far, I haven't seen too much of a difference, except for a quite noticeable difference in filesize:
# ls -l $(which qemu{-system,}-x86_64); -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4793008 Jun 8 02:14 /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2406208 Jun 8 02:14 /usr/bin/qemu-x86_64
- Next time please add a signature after your post by typing four tildes (
~~~~). Thanks.
- There have been some changes recently and the wiki page isn't yet fully updated. I guess that the old
qemubinary has been replaced by
qemu-system-*depending on architecture and
qemu-*binary is used internally. See qemu(1) for more details.
- -- Lahwaacz (talk) 09:47, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
- I've done some more research on this:
qemu-system-*binaries emulate full virtual machine (that's currently described in QEMU, some time ago
qemuwas used for this purpose), whereas
qemu-*binaries allow executing statically linked binaries for different architecture than the host system. You can even chroot into different-architecture system emulating even dynamically linked binaries. Perhaps some mention of this could be added to QEMU. -- Lahwaacz (talk) 20:54, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
- I've done some more research on this:
Creating bridge manually
I really don't know what to do with this section. I'd say it has been superseded by QEMU#Creating bridge using qemu-bridge-helper (available since qemu-1.1, we now have qemu-1.5) - or is someone still using this method? Perhaps link to https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/QEMU/Networking#TAP_interfaces or http://wiki.qemu.org/Documentation/Networking/NAT is sufficient. What do you think? -- Lahwaacz (talk) 20:42, 22 July 2013 (UTC)

With years of experience in the construction, sale, delivery models and accessories for F2D, considering all the features of the goods, we learned how to deliver the most rapid and convenient for you. We ship to all countries in the world.
We have developed a special box for shipping models, in which they are preserved intact. These orders go to the delivery marked with "Fragile". All this ensures you get models and other types of integrity. Maximum number of models that we can accommodate in one box - 20 pieces.
Orders in which there are models and accessories, we send only by mail EMS, this mail can deliver large orders quickly and with maximum reliability. EMS - a very reliable and quick post, every box comes up to the recipient, approximately, within 10 days, sometimes sooner. After sending we will give you a tracking number and website address where you can track the whereabouts of your order. It's an expensive mail, so delivery of small orders this post is not profitable for you. The more your order, the more cost-effective postage on each model.
It is very important! Due to the specific conditions of the postal mail services, orders in which there are model airplanes (F2D, F2E, F2i, 1/2a) is only sent by mail in a special EMS "Packaging for delivery models," which is represented in the catalog section "Models" and is mandatory to purchase when ordering products from this section. This is necessary to calculate the correct shipping charges. If you place an order in which the present model, but there is no packing and paid for it, after checking the manager will be made pererasschet and you will need to make a surcharge, it may have for an additional fee for a new payment, so please be careful and be sure to obey this condition. Maximum number of models for one order - 20 pcs. Recommended minimum 5 pcs. Example of packaging here 20pcs. and 5pcs.
Small orders that do not have a model, we deliver state-mail. The description of each item you can see the number that we have currently in stock, it allows us to dispatch quickly and you do not wait until items from your order. We're always watching the store and availability, so please let serve you quickly. These orders go to the delivery within 3 days of receipt of payment. Delivery time is also about 7-14 days, all depends on how loaded the postal service. This method we use to deliver orders, which are not models, because it is very reliable but less expensive. On the day of dispatch is to alert you, and also provide information for tracking.
To find out shipping costs and fill a cart goods necessary for you and go to the procedure of placing the order. Calculating the cost of delivery is automatic, based on the total weight of ordered items and current tariffs postal services at the time of ordering.

The BurdaStyle Skirt by Mena Trott
Added Nov 14, 2011
By burdastyle
New York, New Yo...
If you haven't gotten your hands on our amazing new book yet— we hope this project encourages you to do so. This week, The Sew Weekly blogger and seamstress Mena Trott shares with us her version of the BurdaStyle Sewing Handbook's skirt pattern.
In her words: I have a thing for tiered skirts. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that when I was in seventh grade they were all the rage and I had the most awesome three-level tiered skirt that I wore for picture day (complete with a black men's-style vest). Up until that point in life, my mom picked out all my clothes but for some reason for that picture day I was able to choose exactly what I wanted to buy and wear. Hence, my love affair with the tiered skirt continues to this day.
Did you make any changes to the original pattern? The only alteration I made to the pattern was a lengthening of the skirt and overskirt. Following the instructions on the pattern and in the book, I lengthen the pieces by about three inches.
Did you style this look yourself? Yes— The shirt is the BurdaStyle stripe top pattern. The only thing that's missing is an awesome vest.
Thanks Mena!

Former Davenport Man Sentenced For Mailing Threatening Communication
DAVENPORT, IA - On June 27, 2013, Bryan R. Dunn, age 25, formerly from Davenport, Iowa, was sentenced by United States District Court Chief Judge James E. Gritzner to 37 months imprisonment, after pleading guilty to mailing threatening communications, announced United States Attorney Nicholas A. Klinefeldt. Dunn was also ordered to serve three years of supervised release and pay $100 towards the Crime Victims Fund.
On July 7, 2012, Dunn deposited for mailing a letter threatening to injure an Assistant Scott County Attorney.
This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigations, the United States Marshals Service, the United States Secret Service, and the Scott County Sheriff's Office. The case was prosecuted by the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Iowa.

The New York Stock Exchange faced issues with order processing and trade execution with 216 stocks Monday that prevented them from trading on the platform for the entire day.
Continue Reading Below
The exchange sent a "critical issue" alert out to market participants roughly eight minutes after the opening bell in New York. By that time, BATS Exchange, a competitor, had issued a so-called self-help, meaning it stopped routing orders to the Big Board. Nasdaq OMX Group's (NASDAQ:NDAQ) Nasdaq Stock Market also issued a self-help against NYSE later in the morning. Both exchanges revoked the calls shortly before 3:00 p.m. ET.
The list of impacted stocks is fairly wide-ranging, and includes big names such as CVS Caremark (NYSE:CVS), Travelers (NYSE:TRV) and UnitedHealth (NYSE:UNH).
A NYSE Euronext (NYSE:NYX) spokesperson said the problems represented "minor issues at the open in a few stocks" that were already "resolved." However, an alert sent as late as 11:50 a.m. ET said the NYSE was "continuing to investigate" the problems with the 216 symbols. Requests for additional information from the NYSE went unreturned.
An alert issued at 3:17 p.m. ET said systems were operating normally, but that the stocks would not trade for the rest of the day. The stocks did trade normally on other platforms, however. NYSE said in the alert that it expects a "normal trading day in all securities for tomorrow."
Several alerts also noted that clients can file system-error claims against the NYSE. It was not immediately clear as to how many, if any, of these were filed as a result of Monday's issues.

verb (used without object), skat·ed, skat·ing.
verb (used with object), skat·ed, skat·ing.
Origin of skate1
verb (intr)
Word Origin for skate
noun plural skate or skates
Word Origin for skate
Word Origin for skate
"type of flat, cartilaginous fish, a kind of ray," mid-14c., from a Scandinavian source, cf. Old Norse skata "skate," Danish skade, Faeroese skøta, of unknown origin.
"ice skate," 1660s, skeates "ice skates," from Dutch schaats (plural schaatsen), a singular mistaken in English for plural, from Middle Dutch schaetse. The word and the custom were brought to England after the Restoration by exiled followers of Charles II who had taken refuge in Holland.
The Dutch word is from Old North French escache "a stilt, trestle," related to Old French eschace "stilt" (French échasse), from Frankish *skakkja "stilt" or a similar Germanic source (cf. Frisian skatja "stilt"), perhaps literally "thing that shakes or moves fast" and related to root of Old English sceacan "to vibrate" (see shake (v.)). Or perhaps [Klein] the Dutch word is connected to Middle Low German schenke, Old English scanca "leg" (see shank). Sense alteration in Dutch from "stilt" to "skate" is not clearly traced. Sense in English extended to roller-skates by 1876. Meaning "an act of skating" is from 1853.
1690s, "to ice-skate," from skate (n.2). U.S. slang sense of "to get away with something" is attested from 1945. Related: Skated; skating.
In addition to the idiom beginning with skate
- skate over
also see:
- cheap skate
- on thin ice, skate

In the FAQ, it says that you can only nominate a weanling for the BC races if it's sire is nominated as a BC sire. It also says that the nomination is for life.Am I interpreting the FAQ correctly that if a horse is nominated for the BC races and later becomes a sire, that does not qualify him as a BC sire?
Also, if a sire is nominated as a BC sire for a particular year, the status of BC sire does not carry forward to subsequent years?

Activate UPS support on TS Live
Terastation Live has some preconfigured files for supporting UPS from APC and Omron. Unfortunately there is no support for configuration via web interface. This procedure shows how to enable the using of an USB UPS from APC.
Gain root access with ACP_Commander and login via telnet/ssh.
1. Connect UPS to TS Live with USB cable - don't connect AC for TS Live so far to APC
2. Check for the file file: /etc/melco/ups
ups_link= ups_connect= ups_terashutdown=60 ups_upsshutdown=off ups_recover=off use_netups=off
3. Enable UPS support (ups_link) and chose the correct UPS-type (ups_connect).
ups_link=on ups_connect=usb_apc ups_terashutdown=60 ups_upsshutdown=on ups_recover=on use_netups=off
The other tokens control the TS Live behaviour
- ups_shutdown = wether it will shutdown or not.
- ups_recover = wether it will reboot after AC power returns
4. After reboot the UPS daemon () get's activated. You could also manually start the daemon with "/etc/init.d/ups start"
/usr/local/sbin/apcupsd --kill-on-powerfail
5. /var/log/messages should mention it as well:
Mar 22 16:32:59 tera kernel: usbcore: registered new driver hiddev Mar 22 16:32:59 tera kernel: hiddev96: USB HID v1.10 Device [APC APC ES 500 FW:803.p6.A USB FW:p6] on usb-ehci_platform.4523-1.2 Mar 22 16:32:59 tera kernel: usbcore: registered new driver usbhid Mar 22 16:32:59 tera kernel: drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: v2.6:USB HID core driver Mar 22 16:33:01 tera apcupsd[1580]: apcupsd 3.12.1 (06 January 2006) unknown startup succeeded
6. Power down the UPS and the TS Live should shut down afterwards. With "ups_recover = on", TS Live reboots automatically when the power line is restored,
7. Finally connect TS live power cable to APS UPS,
Supported UPS families
- APC Serial
- Omron USB
- Omron Serial
Other interesting files
- /etc/apcupsd/apcupsd.conf
- /var/log/messages
- Model:TS-HTGL/R5
- Stock-FW: 2.13 (I upgraded from japanese FW to "hs-dhtgl-up_213_101")
- UPS: APC ES 500 with USB cable

I'm going through my relatively small nail polish collection and photographing my favourite shades.
This week is Blues in all Hues!
The Skinfood Creamy Milk nail polish is indeed creamy, a little thick to work with, but very pigmented and bold. Quite interesting colours too.
This one in BL004 is ridiculously bold. It hurts my eyes a bit, but it's a bit of fun for the summer methinks. I don't know what it reminds me of. Those plasters you get when you cut yourself in school? Hygiene plasters!
What do you think?

The College of Fine Arts establishes relationships with corporations and private foundations to secure funding for projects of mutual interest. We work closely with corporate and foundation representatives, as well as college deans and faculty from across the university to ensure that top priorities are achieved. Gifts from corporations and foundations help fund scholarships, professorships, creative research, programs and services.
Arts for Ohio funding is internal to be used to develop initiatives that are targeted at student attendance for either existing events, scheduled events or new events. The projected goals are audience development, increased attendance and better integration of the arts into the social and cultural fabric of the University.
As a Masters of Fine Arts student in the Professional Director's Training program, I was overjoyed to be awarded an Arts for Ohio grant that enabled the School of Theater to host Drew Richardson as a guest artist. In order to direct the historical comedy "Servant of Two Masters", I felt it was vital to bring in a mask and movement specialist to teach this very physical form of comedy, Commedia Dell'Arte, to my cast. Not only did the outcome of this grant award have far-reaching positive impact across many departments and the Athens community, as a student I learned invaluable lessons about the grant-writing process.
During Drew Richardson's time at OHIO, Drew taught in-depth mask, movement, Commedia, and comedic improvisation technique to the cast of "Servant of Two Masters", gave a memorable lecture on Commedia and his life experiences as a theater artist in an open forum presentation, taught a specialized and inspirational lecture to the members of the juggling club focusing on how to generate original skill-based work though "foolish problem solving", as well as guest teaching an English class on the subject of Commedia Dell'Arte.
Not only did Drew Richardson's visit have an overwhelmingly successful student impact through his workshops and lectures, Drew's work on the play "Servant of Two Masters" generated excitement about the show and brought the Athens and OHIO communities together into a diverse and appreciative audience.
Student Clifton Hoznogel B.F.A. Performance '13 shared: "My favorite aspect of Drew's workshops was the mask work. I had always been fascinated by masks but knew very little about them. Masks hold such a great power and it was amazing to witness the personality of the masks take over my cast-mates and to experience it myself. Drew was an amazing guide into this wonderful new world and I can't wait to explore mask further."

AMHERST, Mass. - Junior Doria Holbrook's three-meter diving score of 306.83 broke Amherst's pool record, but it served only as consolation, as MIT fell to non-conference foe Amherst College, 136-98, on Saturday afternoon. The Yakima, Wash., native also impressed in the one-meter diving competition, picking up the victory with an NCAA "B" cut score of 275.25.
The loss dropped Tech's record to 8-2 on the season and served as the Engineers' final dual meet of the campaign. Amherst improved to 7-0 with the triumph.
The combination of sophomores Meaghan Stern and Mary Marvel and junior Brittany Sasser led the way for the Lord Jeffs' balanced attack. Each picked up two victories, with Marvel notching both of hers in individual events.
MIT will return to the pool on Friday, Feb. 2, when it hosts Northeastern University, Middlebury College, Tufts University, Wheaton College and Williams College in the MIT Invitational. The two-day competition will serve as a tune up for the Engineers as they head into the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference Championships later in February. Amherst will conclude its dual meet schedule on Saturday, Feb. 3, when it travels to Springfield College at 1:00 p.m.

Intel committee member explains why Democratic memo should be released
WASHINGTON (Sinclair Broadcast Group) —
Democrats on the House intelligence committee have disputed the claims made by Republicans in a four-page memo, alleging the FBI improperly surveilled the Trump campaign.
On Friday, the White House announced that President Donald Trump would not allow the declassification of a separate memo drafted by Democrats on the committee that reportedly refutes the GOP claims of FBI political bias and misuse of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.
Kristine Frazao interviewed Rep. Jim Himes of Connecticut, who explained why the Democratic rebuttal to the Republican memo should be released.

I'm not going to get my hopes up yet about this spoiler, since it is unusually early. I do hope it is true, though.
Doflamingo instigating some real bloodshed is no surprise, considering how the last chapter foreshadowed that he was definitely going to make some kind of move. I find it funny how some people are upset at Doflamingo's actions. What did you expect him to do? Sit idly by and do nothing? It's also not like Oars could have put up a fight against the fearsome might of the warlords. Each one alone is more than adequate to take him out, as demonstrated by Doflamingo in this chapter. It's great to see this bastard in action .
Here's to hoping that Oars succumbs to his severe injuries and eventually dies, which will allow Moria to take his corpse and have Dr. Hogback patch him up. All that would be left would be to acquire a powerful shadow, and there should be more than enough of those in the New World. Perhaps he'll snatch one of the New World captains shadows in this war, and then he'll be all set afterward.

^"...and then he'll be all set afterward..." for Luffy to beat him without the Nightmare power-up .
Seriously though, Moria and Odz together were supposed to equal or slightly surpass Kaidou, so Doflamingo seemingly effortlessly taking down Oars III is pretty badass and amazing...if it is true . (Addmittedly, we can't fully compare Oars III with Odz, true they look the same, but we still haven't seen Oars fight, so he might be significantly more intelligent that his ancestor.)

And what's more interesting is that it seems like there is no special condition to activating his powers (Don's powers).
I dunno,i was thinking that maybe you have to look into the victim's eyes or something and here he did it out of nowhere.

I admit that that it certainly would be interesting if Oars would be the first "casualty" in this war so Moria can swipe his corpse and make him his new super-soldier. However, for some reason I'm not really expecting a rematch between the shadow man and Luffy to occur. I mean, I know that Luffy defeated Moria with a couple of convenient plot devices and all, but we're pretty much "past" Moria now that Thriller Bark's ended. Besides, Luffy's not one to have rematches with guys he's already beaten anyway (if that were the case, the Impel Down arc probably would've ended up being longer than it turned out, indeed)......

A new spoiler, not confirmed (though it validates the Oars III v. DoFlamingo "fight"), has been released which explains that Blackbeard was on Level 6 looking for Poseidon (which he finds).
Again, this is not confirmed (though it will be confirmed or not in just a few hours).

Its not really a problem if the old age show all their prowess. It will be their end anyway. I mean its the time of THE NEW AGE!. And I think don is a well suited enemy for luffy. I'm waiting a showdown for them right now! but maybe it will not end of rather a unexpected thing will happen or rather expected they will be interrupted and will rise a future enemy. Blackbeard is also nearby besides rayleigh but I'm not hoping of him showing up. and also dragon. This war is between white beard and the marine HQ. I hope marine HQ will go down as for whitebeards fall. And a new age will also arise with it. Together with new world and the remaining 3 emperor........ it will be truly funny if buggy really become a emperor.

Also in the chapter, Hancock turns lotsa pirates to stone, as well as some Marines and then shatters them...which 1 can safely assume means death.

I just checked OP Wiki. I forgot Poseidon was a weapon, I'm thinking it was a person that is on the 6th Level named Poseidon, because... well... Impel Down is a prison. Which makes me wonder why would a weapon be inside of a prison.

full spoilers out
Nja spoilers
Title: Oars and kasa
coverstory: Nami's weather report in sky island
(kasa is a type of buddhist hat)
The story starts out with Oars rampaging through the marines.
He's about to break through their defence line.
The giant marines say how they usually fight looking down, they've never fought looking UP
They charge in to Oars Jr, but can't stop him.
Oars breaks through their defences, and the pirates follow him into the bay
The first pirates to break through charges at Hancock, but she turns them all into stone
She attacks with Aroma Kicks (Nja didn't provide with furigana, so we don't know what the
move is really called, Aroma Kick is from the kanji)
And the stoned pirates shatter into pieces.
However, some marines got caught in the fray and shattered as well.
Marines are questioning if she's going to turn against them.
Hancock replies, she agreed to fight Whitebeard, but you men are all still my enemies.
Well, other than "that man". You have to realize that. Forgive me... for my beauty.
Marines become lovelydovey
The unstoppable Oars comes right next to Whitebeard
Whitebeard advises him that bravery and wanting to die is a different thing.
Oars Jr asks him (politely) to understand him, he just wants to save Ace as soon as possible
Whitebeard orders his men to support Oars, but Oars takes focused fire by the marines due to his size
Still he gets to the square where Ace is held, but Kuma attacks him with Ursa Shock, and Oars is badly damaged.
He has a huge kasa on his back, but that falls onto the sea.
Oars stairs at it, as the scene goes to flashback....
Ace: Because you're closer to the sun, I'll give you this kasa!
Ace's crew: Because he's fire, he burned this thing up twice while attempting to make it... take care of it!
The kasa kept him from getting wet in rain, and stopped snow from gathering around him.
Oars gets back on his feet, to save the gentle hearted Ace
To at least take out one Shichibukai....
He attacks DoFlamingo, but DoFlamingo casually dodges it, and flies up in the sky.
He jumps to around Oars Jr's head, then cuts off his right leg. (with a powerful unseen string?)
Oars falls down, but he tries to reach out to grab Ace
Moria: Damn that bastard Doflamingo!! I told him I wanted his corpse, but he goes and cuts off his leg!!
He creates a long spear made of shadow, and stabs Oars in the heart.
The chapter ends as Oars Jr die.
Sorry to cut you guys off...
Whether Oars died or not isn't clear
Hancock is trashing enemies up, but the only parts that's shattering are the parts that got stoned. There's some pirates and marines still talking as their right arm is crumbling, so it's not clear if they are dead.
I thought I should follow up on this.

Electrodeposition of Palladium as an Ohmic Contact for Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes
Published on
Carbon nanotubes are being researched extensively for their unique conductive properties. Controlled growth of vertical single-walled carbon nanotubes, however, has not yet been possible. This presentation reports a way to synthesize vertical single-walled carbon nanotubes that can be used for device integration. It also describes a method to establish contact to the carbon nanotubes. The carbon nanotubes are created using a modified form of a porous anodic alumina template with an iron catalyst layer incorporated into the pore cell walls. Microwave plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition is then used to generate the carbon nanotubes. Palladium is used in an electrodeposition process in order to establish top and bottom contacts to the carbon nanotubes. A titanium layer is deposited beneath the anodized film and acts as a working electrode, allowing palladium nanowires to form and contact the carbon nanotubes at the bottom. Continued deposition yields palladium nanoclusters which contact the top of the carbon nanotube. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) is run on several different locations of the template. Using the information it provides, CV curves are created. These curves taken are then compared. Information that is useful is then extracted from these curves in order to determine how to control the deposition of the nanoclusters that form on the top of the carbon nanotubes.
