Sanath Teran Jayasuriya (Sinhala: සනත් ටෙරාන් ජයසූරිය, born 30 June 1969) is a former Sri Lankan cricketer and a current member of the Parliament of Sri Lanka.[3] Jayasuriya was an all-rounder, who had an international cricket career that spread over two decades.[4] He is the only player to score over 12,000 runs and capture more than 300 wickets in One Day Internationals, and hence regarded as one of the best all rounders in the history of limited-overs cricket.[5][6] He was named the Most Valuable Player of 1996 Cricket World Cup and Wisden Cricketers' Almanack broke an age old tradition by naming him one of Five Cricketers' of the Year 1997 despite not playing the previous season in England.[7] Jayasuriya was also the captain of the Sri Lankan cricket team from 1999 to 2003. He retired from test cricket in December 2007 and from limited overs cricket in June 2011.
Jayasuriya ran for public office at the 2010 Sri Lankan general elections and was elected to the parliament from his native Matara District.[8] He topped the UPFA parliamentary election list for Matara district by obtaining 74,352 preferential votes.[9] He is now serving as the deputy minister of Postal services in the UPFA government led by Mahinda Rajapaksa.[10] On 28 January 2013, Sri Lanka Cricket appointed him as the chairman of cricket selection committee. Sri Lanka won the ICC World Twenty20 for the first time in 2014, during his tenure as the chief selector.

Early life[edit]
Sanath Jayasuriya was born in Southern Sri Lankan city of Matara, to the family of Dunstan and Breeda Jayasuriya. He has an elder brother, Chandana Jayasuriya. He was educated at St. Servatius' College, Matara, where his cricketing talents were nourished by his school principal, G.L. Galappathy, and cricket coach, Lionel Wagasinghe. He excelled in cricket while at St. Servatius College, Matara and was picked as Observer Schoolboy Cricketer of the Year in the Outstation Segment in 1988. He was also picked as the Best Batsman and Best All-rounder in the Outstation Section.[11] Jayasuriya also represented Sri Lanka in the inaugural ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup which was held in Australia in 1988. Jayasuriya was subsequently selected for a tour in Pakistan a few months later with the Sri Lanka 'B' team where he made two unbeaten double centuries. Shortly afterwards he was drafted into the national side for the tour to Australia in 1989–90.[12] He made his One Day International debut against Australia at Melbourne on Boxing Day of 1989 and his Test debut against New Zealand at Hamilton in February 1991.
Style and international career[edit]
Batting style[edit]
Along with his opening partner Romesh Kaluwitharana, Jayasuriya revolutionized One Day International batting with his aggressive tactics during the 1996 Cricket World Cup, a strategy they first tried on the preceding tour of Australia. The tactic used was to take advantage of the early fielding restrictions by smashing the opening bowlers to all parts of the cricket ground, particularly by lofting their deliveries over the mandatory infielders, rather than the established tactic of building up momentum gradually. This was a novel but potentially match-winning tactic at that time, and Sri Lanka, who had previously never made it out of the preliminary rounds, went on to win the World Cup without a single defeat. Their new gameplan is now the standard opening batting strategy in limited overs cricket for the modern era. Glenn McGrath cited Jayasuriya in his XI of toughest batsmen, noting "it is always a massive compliment to someone to say they changed the game, and his storming innings in the 1996 World Cup changed everyone's thinking about how to start innings."[13]
Jayasuriya is known for both cuts and pulls along with his trademark shot, a lofted cut over point. He was one of the key players in Sri Lanka's victory in the 1996 Cricket World Cup, where he was adjudged Man of the Tournament in recognition of his all-round contributions. His philosophy towards batting is summarized by an all-aggression approach and over the years he has dominated almost every one day bowling combination that he has faced at one stage or another. This is because of his ability to make huge match-winning contributions at rapid pace once he gets in, he holds the record for the second highest number of one day centuries and has scored the second most 150+ scores (4 scores) (Sachin Tendulkar has the most 150+ scores at 5). His devastating performances have ensured that Sri Lanka have won almost 80% of the matches that he scored over 50 runs in limited overs cricket. When asked in an interview who are the most challenging bowlers he had faced in the game, he named in the order Wasim Akram, Shane Warne, Glenn McGrath, Courtney Walsh, Curtly Ambrose.
Test career[edit]
Sanath Jayasuriya held the record for the highest Test score made by a Sri Lankan, 340 against India in 1997. This effort was part of a second-wicket partnership with Roshan Mahanama that set the then all-time record for any partnership in Test history, with 576 runs. Both records were surpassed in July 2006 when fellow Sri Lankan Mahela Jayawardene scored 374 as part of a 624-run partnership with Kumar Sangakkara against South Africa. On 20 September 2005, during the Second Test of the home series against Bangladesh, Jayasuriya became the first Sri Lankan to play 100 Tests, and the 33rd Test cricketer to achieve this feat.
Jayasuriya announced his intention to retire from Test cricket following the Pakistan tour of Sri Lanka in April 2006. He reversed his decision soon after, however, joining the Sri Lankan cricket team in England in May 2006. Missing the first two Tests, Jayasuriya returned in the Third Test at Trent Bridge.[14]
After scoring 78 runs on day three of the first Test against England in Kandy in 2007, he announced he was to retire from Test cricket[15] at the end of the match. In that inning he hit six fours in one over against James Anderson.
One day international career[edit]
Sanath Jayasuriya held the records for the fastest fifty (against Pakistan 17 balls), fastest 100 (against Pakistan 48 balls) and fastest 150 (against England in 95 balls) in ODI cricket. Though he lost the fastest 100 to Shahid Afridi and fastest 150 to Shane Watson, he still holds the record for the fastest fifty. Jayasuriya and Sachin Tendulkar are the only players in history to have 4 ODI scores over 150. Jayasuriya's highest ODI score is 189 runs, scored against India in Sharjah in 2000. It remains the highest ODI score by a Sri Lankan, and at the time of the innings it was the third-highestNote 1 in ODI history. Until December 2009, he held the four highest individual scores by a Sri Lankan, and seven of the top nine.[16]

|No result
He currently holds the record fastest fifty in ODIs, scored off just 17 balls. Jayasuriya was the previous record-holder for the fastest century (off 48 balls), before losing that claim to Shahid Afridi of Pakistan. He has also held the world record for most ODI sixes (270 in 441 ODIs), which was surpassed by Shahid Afridi during the 2010 Asia Cup match against Bangladesh. He has become the fourth batsman to score more than 10,000 runs and the second batsman to score more than 12,000, and 13,000 runs in the history of ODIs. He also is the third highest century getter in ODIs with 28 centuries. He used to hold the record of scoring most runs in an ODI over (30; he has achieved this twice).This record is now with South Africa's Herschelle Gibbs (36 runs in an over).He used to hold the record of heading the most ODI caps by an international cricketer 444, till Sachin Tendulkar (India) equalled the record in January 2011 against South Africa.
During the one-day Natwest series in May 2006 in England, he scored two centuries, including scoring 152 off 99 balls in the final match. In that innings, he and Upul Tharanga (109) put on 286 runs for the first wicket, a new record.[21] Jayasuriya's batting display earned him the Man of the Series award as Sri Lanka won the series 5–0.
Following the Natwest Trophy, Sri Lanka travelled to the Netherlands for a two-match one-day series. In the first game, Jayasuriya scored 157 off 104 balls as Sri Lanka posted 443/9,[22] beating the 438/9 South Africa scored against Australia in March 2006. Sri Lanka won the match by 195 runs. On a personal note the innings was his 4th score of over 150 in ODI cricket and he is currently the only player to do so other than Sachin Tendulkar who has achieved it five times. It was also his second successive score of 150 plus, another first in ODI cricket.
He also scored 2 centuries and 2 half-centuries in the 2007 Cricket World Cup held in the West Indies.In 2008, his one-day career was all but over when he was omitted for the ODIs in the West Indies. However, a stirring performance in the IPL—finishing the third-highest run-getter with 514 runs—prompted his country's sports minister to intervene in his selection for the Asia Cup. He ultimately shaped Sri Lanka's title victory with a blistering hundred under pressure.[23] His international career has been revived at the age of 41, after being recalled to the One-day and Twenty-20 squads for Sri Lanka's 2011 tour of England and Scotland.[24]
Twenty20 career[edit]
During the 2007 ICC World Twenty20, Jayasuriya appeared to break his tradition of using Kookaburra bats by wielding a normal Reebok sponsored bat. He achieved two half centuries in the group stages against New Zealand and Kenya in this tournament. He also shares a dubious record with James Anderson for having the most expensive figures in a Twenty20 international, having been hit for 64 runs in the maximum of 4 overs.[25] After the Twenty20 World Cup, Jayasuriya played in Sri Lanka's 3–2 One Day International series defeat against England, achieving limited success and then in the 2–0 Test series defeat in Australia. In December 2007, Jayasuriya confirmed that he has signed for Warwickshire for the Twenty20 Cup.[26]
In April 2008, he joined the Mumbai Indians to play in the Indian Premier League T20. After scoring a devastating 114 not out off just 48 balls[27] for the Mumbai Indians against Chennai, Jayasuriya regained his position in the one-day side after he had been dropped for the West Indies tour. He then followed up his century with a 17-ball 48 not out to surpass the Kolkata Knight Riders' score of 67 in just the 6th over, resulting in the biggest victory in Twenty20 history in terms of balls remaining.[28] In 2010 has signed with Worcestershire for their Twenty20 campaign. At the age of 42, Jayasuriya played for the Ruhuna Rhinos in the qualifying round of the 2011 Champions League.[29] In February 2012 Jayasuria played for the Khulna Royal Bengals in the inaugural Bangladesh Premier League, later that year he played for Kandurata Warriors in the inaugural Sri Lanka Premier League.
Captaincy and all-round performances[edit]
Jayasuriya was chosen as the Wisden Leading Cricketer in the World in 1996[30] and was named as one of the Wisden Cricketers of the Year in 1997. He served as the captain of the Sri Lankan cricket team in 38 test matches and 117 one day internationals from 1999 to 2003. Jayasuriya led Sri Lanka to the knock-out stage of the 2003 cricket world cup, but stepped down from the captaincy after the loss to Australia in the semi final. He was also a very useful all-rounder with a good batting average in both Test cricket and One Day Internationals, and had an excellent batting strike rate in One Day Internationals.
As a left-arm orthodox spin bowler, he had a reasonable bowling average and an economy rate. He regularly helped to decrease the workloads of contemporary Sri Lankan strike bowlers Muttiah Muralitharan and Chaminda Vaas. At the end of his career Jayasuriya took more than 400 wickets in international cricket with over 300 wickets in One Day Internationals. Jayasuriya was also a skillful infielder, with a report prepared by Cricinfo in late 2005 showing that since the 1999 Cricket World Cup, he had effected the seventh highest number of run-outs in ODI cricket of any fieldsman, with the eleventh highest success rate.[31]
Player statistics[edit]
Career performance[edit]
Although Jayasuriya made his Test debut in 1991, it was not until 1996 that he scored his first century, when he had become a regular player in the Sri Lankan side.[32] His career high of 340 against India in August 1997 was the highest score by a Sri Lankan cricketer until 2006,[33] and is also part of the highest team total (952/6) made in Test cricket.[34][35] He has also scored two double centuries; 213 against England and 253 against Pakistan. His 157 against Zimbabwe in 2004 is the second fastest century by a Sri Lankan player.[36] Jayasuriya, having scored centuries against every Test playing nation except New Zealand and West Indies,[37] retired from Test cricket in 2007 with 14 to his name.[37]
Jayasuriya made his ODI debut in 1989, and started playing as an opening batsman in 1993.[38] He went on to score his first century in 1994 against New Zealand. From then on, Jayasuriya has scored the highest number of ODI centuries for Sri Lanka with 28 to his name. He currently holds the third place for most centuries in a career, behind Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar (with 49 ODI centuries) and Ricky Ponting (30 centuries).[39] His second century, 134 against Pakistan in 1996, was scored at a strike rate of 206.15 and was the fastest century in ODI cricket at the time. This record was later broken by Pakistani cricketer Shahid Afridi.[40] The 189 he made against India in 2000 is the sixth highest ODI score in a single innings.[41] Making his second highest ODI score of 157 against the Netherlands in 2006, Jayasuriya paved the way for Sri Lanka to set the world record for the highest ODI team total of 443/9.[42] With his 107 against India on 28 January 2009, Jayasuriya—39 years and 212 days old at the time—became the oldest player to score a century[43] and also became the second player to score more than 13,000 runs in a career.[N 1][44] Sanath Jayasuriya holds record of fastest 150 in one day internationals. he made 152 vs England at Leeds on 1 July 2006, off just 99 balls prior to Shane Watson who holds the record for the fastest 150 currently.

Fort Campbell got an audience of sons, daughters, spouses and parents Wednesday, as they gathered for a look into the day in the life of a soldier. Family members were invited out to post for February Aerial Gunnery Family Day and watched a training exercise in which an aircraft shot at an enemy target on the ground.
"The soldiers go away quite often, and we're not really sure what they do," said military wife Stephanie Pry. "It's nice just to get out, show your support to them and see what they do every day."
Pry's daughter, 2-year-old Emale, looked to the sky as an aircraft went flying behind the trees. Pry's husband is a first sergeant at Fort Campbell. She said it's important her kids grow up proud of the men and women of the armed forces.
"She understands that he wears a uniform," Pry explained of daughter, Emale. "She relates that to daddy."
"Soldiers are doing a very important thing right now," said Maj. Jonathan Tackaberry. "They're training in preparation of our future missions, and for the families to come out and observe that, it's really important so they understand. They all support their soldiers."
Pry added she's just glad she can have a glimpse into a day in the life of a soldier.
"I think it's different being in a military family," said Pry. "I think you just have such a pride in your country. We're all a part of this, so it's nice to share with everyone else."


text: HomeDigitalFeatures Brawling over broadband Email Print +Talk +G+ +Tweets April 9, 2010 | 08:00AM PT NAB: 'The FCC is trying to drive TV stations out of business' Marjorie Galas photos/_storypics/NAB_design_400.jpg" hspace="3″ vspace="3″ align="center"> The rapid growth of cellphone networks and wireless Internet has the U.S. headed for a spectrum squeeze. So the FCC developed the National Broadband Plan, which proposes that broadcasters release spectrum for broadband use over the next 10 years. That means just 10 months after the transition to digital television, the Feds are asking broadcasters to make another major technical transition — and the National Assn. of Broadcasters is none too happy about it. "What the FCC is trying to do is drive TV stations out of business," NAB exec veep Dennis Wharton says. Wharton points out broadcasters have already given up UHF channels 52-69, and now are asked to surrender channels 31-51. "This will lead to damage," he says. Wharton's notion that the FCC has it in for the broadcast business isn't just paranoia. During a recent program at Columbia Business School, former FCC chairman Reed Hundt stated he and other FCC commissioners undermined the DTV transition, claiming it benefited only "100,000" people. "Those people would have been better off getting a voucher for broadband internet systems," said Hundt. "But some felt that we had to keep on this path (of broadcast television.)" So the FCC is looking at other paths. What does that mean for the broadcasters who'll have to trek down those paths? Among the ideas contemplated in the FCC plan: double up on digital TV channels, sell off underutilized chunks of spectrum, give back some channels altogether, and if those choices don't work out, consider switching from large antennas to arrays of smaller, cellular antennas that send out signals to small neighborhoods. These spell another round of extensive broadcast equipment upgrades. And, as with the DTV conversion, consumers will have to modify their receiving systems. "A lot of reconfiguration will be needed, and it's going to require a huge investment," says Kamy Merithew, vice president of marketing for Wegener, which makes equipment for satcasting and IPTV. "If this had been contemplated before the DTV conversion, it could have been all rolled into one. It's now a harder sell. From a consumer standpoint you will have to reposition antennas and send in your DTV receiving box to be reconfigured," says Merithew, who will speak Monday at the NAB Show on "Web vs TV: Conflict or Convergence." Some of the spectrum broadcasters control isn't busy today, but broadcasters would like to retain those "white spaces" for innovations such as 3D and mobile broadcasting. Doubling up on a single DTV channel would mean some tough negotiations between competitors in local markets. "Sharing a 6MHz TV channel would be better described as trying to park two different cars in the same parking spot at the same time," CBS Studios supervising engineer Tim Holly says. One answer: Combine the benefits of broadband and broadcast. "We can align broadcast to handle video," says Wharton. "There's a limited capacity of cellphone providers to transmit video. They can offload video to broadcasters." Agrees Jeff Burke, UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television director of technology research initiatives: "Broadcast can offer services that have emerged from broadband. The anticipation is that they won't be able to co-exist peacefully." Wharton says the NAB supports a full spectrum inventory and a complete accounting. The future of broadcasting won't take shape until that's done. "There will be a series of congressional hearings and over 40 FCC rule-making negotiations as a result," says Wharton. "This is the first step in a very long marathon."

The first task in TApaTaskList is the one in foreground (the associated window group has ordinal position 0).
TApaTask contains some information about the task. For example, the thread identifier (ThreadId()) and window group identifier (WgId()).
Furthermore, there are useful methods such as EndTask() that requests the task to close normally, and KillTask() that directly terminates the task. SendToBackground() and BringToForeground() can be used for controlling the application's position in the task list.

US Open Icon: Martina Navratilova
Published August 11, 2011 11:05
After losing to Chris Evert in the semifinals of the 1975 US Open, an 18-year-old Martina Navratilova was spirited to the US Immigration and Naturalization Service Office in New York to ask for political asylum. Not until 1981 did the Czechoslovakia-born player's US citizenship come through; meantime, she didn't see her family for four years, and visiting her homeland was out of the question. Understandably, Flushing Meadows became tricky emotional ground for a young athlete still struggling to harness her potential.
Despite all the distractions - on-court and off - Navratilova reached the semis of the US Open four times in the late 1970s, and went heartbreakingly close to lifting the trophy in 1981. On that occasion she won the first set of the final against Tracy Austin, 6-1, only to fall in two tie-breaks. Afterwards she broke down as the fans gave her a standing ovation. "I had never felt anything like it in my life," she later said. "Acceptance, respect... maybe even love."
Still, it all felt like underachievement. So when a fit and focused Navratilova finally got the monkey off her back in 1983, crushing Evert to win her first US Open title on her eleventh attempt, victory was incredibly sweet. "If I don't win another tournament in my life, at least I can say I did it all," the 26-year-old beamed. As well as completing a career Grand Slam, the win saw her assume the lead in her rivalry with Evert, 20-19. She stayed there for good.
Much more was to come, of course. Twelve months later, Navratilova defended her title by beating Evert in a thriller, 46 64 64. The win marked her sixth consecutive major in a row, and punctuated a period of near-invincibility that took in a non-calendar year Grand Slam.
While Hana Mandlikova interrupted Navratilova's reign in 1985, she triumphed again in 1986, holding off a surging Steffi Graf in the semis and then Helena Sukova in the final. In 1987, weeks after conceding the No.1 ranking to Graf, Navratilova beat the German for a fourth title. She also won the doubles (with Pam Shriver) and mixed (with Emilio Sánchez) to become the first to capture the tournament's 'triple crown' since Margaret Court in 1970.
Though she wouldn't win another singles title at the US Open, Navratilova was far from done. Graf got the upper hand in the final of 1989 but, seeded fifth in 1991, the American became the event's oldest female runner-up: Having upset Arantxa Sánchez-Vicario and Graf in back-to-back nail-biters she faced Monica Seles in the final; the 17-year, one-month gap between the finalists was the biggest in Grand Slam history.
Although a fourth round loss to Sukova in 1993 signalled the end of her Big Apple singles campaigns, Navratilova, by now a six-times doubles champion, returned after five years to contest the team events from 2000 to 2006. Defying time, she made the doubles final with Svetlana Kuznetsova in 2003, and ended her playing career by winning the mixed with Bob Bryan in 2006. Weeks shy of her 50th birthday, it was another record-setting feat.
Martina's US Open singles highlights:
Champion (4): 1983 (d. Evert), 1984 (d. Evert), 1986 (d. Sukova), 1987 (d. Graf)
Runner-Up (4): 1981 (l. Austin), 1985 (l. Mandlikova), 1989 (l. Graf), 1991 (l. Seles)
Years contested: 1973-1993 (21)
Win-Loss Record: 89-17

Will County is seeking a ballot measure it hopes could cut electricity bills for the 105,000 residents of unincorporated county.
Residents could see lower electrical bills as soon as July 1, if voters approve an electrical aggregation referendum on March 20 and the county is able to find a lower rate for residents, county board spokesman Nate Brown said.
The county referendum will only affect residents and small business owners in unincorporated areas. Combined with the 23 Will County towns also seeking referenda, this could affect as many as 675,000 residents, Brown said.
But first, voters need to know what they're voting on.
"As board members talk to constituents, they're reminding them to get more information before they go to the polls," Brown said.
What's Electrical Aggregation?
ComEd is the company that provides the infrastructure that gets the electricity from power plants to your house. It picks the power companies that generate the electricity.
A measure passed last year by the state Legislature will let municipalities and counties negotiate for better rates from the power companies on behalf of their residents and small businesses. They just need permission from the voters.
If the referendum passes, ComEd would still get the juice to your house and the bill will still come from ComEd.
Residents and business owners can already and still will be able to find their own cheaper rates. The Citizens Utility Board and the Illinois Commerce Commission offer resources for residents to do this online.
"It took me probably 20 minutes," said Mokena resident Ray Baranak, .
The county (or village or city, depending on where a resident lives) would then look around for a better price for the electrical part of the bill. It will take the lowest, so if ComEd still has the best rate, ComEd will still be the provider.
Will County Timeline
Brown said that if unincorporated-area voters approve the referendum, the county will schedule the two mandated public hearings for late March or April.
Next comes the official "plan of operation and governance," basically the county laying out how it plans to get service to all its residents. Then starts the bidding process.
"The one estimate I have is that they would run the bid process in early May," Brown said.
Voters who want to weigh in on the referendum but not the Republican or Democratic primary races can ask for a non-partisan ballot. That will still have the referendum.
But before the election, voters should look into aggregation and see if it's something they want to vote for.
"I have been receiving a lot of questions about the electric aggregation referendum on this month's ballot, and I want to stress the importance of taking the time to thoroughly educate one's self on the issue," county board Chairman Jim Moustis said in a press release on Thursday.
Additional information can be found at www.willelectricaggregation.org or on the video attached to this article.
Correction: This story was corrected at 11:04 a.m. Friday to clarify that ComEd does not operate the power plants that generate the electricity. Patch regrets the error.

Scivation Xtend Intra-Workout Catalyst Watermelon Madness - 13.5 oz (384 grams)
Scivation Xtend is the most advanced sugar and carbohydrate-free Intra-Workout Catalyst, scientifically formulated to maximize training intensity and promote optimal muscle protein synthesis and recovery while you train. Xtend Intra-Workout Catalyst is formulated with a precise PentActive blend of actives, synergistically involved in key cellular processes to optimize muscle performance and response:
What is Xtend?Xtend is the ultimate, sugar-free, BCAA-containing drink mix to be consumed during exercise (intra-workout). Whether you're a physique athlete, strongman, powerlifter, traditional athlete (e.g., football, basketball, baseball, soccer, etc), endurance competitor, or just looking to significantly change your body composition through resistance training and nutrition, Xtend is ideally formulated to maximize training intensity and support your goals. Xtend was the first and has become the most well-recognized and used intra-workout catalyst product because it not only works.... but it tastes great too! Xtend contains an incredible:
Xtend was recently reformulated to dramatically improve taste and ingredient solubility - Xtend is now spoon-mixible - and to provide added functionality for workouts or events under the most grueling of conditions. Xtend is available in 6 mouth-watering, refreshing fruit flavors to make every workout an incredible one.
Who should use Xtend?Xtend was designed to be used effectively by anyone, male or female, who want to perform at their best - from serious athletes to anyone that's just serious about performance or changing their physique. Though ideal for strength or bodybuilding training, or for persons on a reduced carbohydrate diet, Xtend can also be used very effectively in a "bulking phase" or by endurance athletes during training and competition. That is, Xtend works whether it's used as formulated and indicated, or whether you choose to combine Xtend with supplemental carbohydrates based upon performance needs and duration.When's the best time to consume Xtend?Two university studies confirm that Xtend is significantly effective at increasing muscle mass and strength, and reducing body fat when consumed during exercise or immediately prior to and after training.† It's recommended that you begin consuming Xtend immediately prior to, and continue sipping on Xtend throughout your training or competition. Many users also report significantly improved gains when Xtend is consumed immediately upon waking-up in the morning and/or sipping on Xtend throughout the day.
How much Xtend should I consume for it to be most effective?For best mixing results and taste, pour 8 fluid ounces of filtered water into a shaker cup. Add 1 scoop of Xtend. Cover or close the shaker cup. Swirl the shaker to create a vortex effect and draw the Xtend powder into solution. Then, once the Xtend powder has fallen into solution, shake vigorously for about 25 shakes. Enjoy! For endurance athletes that may add Xtend to their hydration pack, it is recommended that Xtend be mixed in a shaker cup or pitcher and then poured into the hydration pack (as opposed to mixing directly within the hydration pack, as doing so may cause the hydration tubing to become blocked). NOTE: If you find that some of the BCAA material settles at the bottom of the shaker cup, you may not have used the correct dilution ratio of 1 scoop of Xtend per 8 fluid ounce of water.
What results will I achieve from using Xtend?Two clinical studies support the effective use of Xtend, when combined with exercise.
Other results you can expect from using Xtend include:
How fast will I see results from using Xtend?Most Xtend users report an immediate, acute response during training. Variables such as training volume, reduced fatigue, and increased muscular endurance and power output are common to first-time Xtend users. For body composition and strength changes, Xtend studies support significant improvements in as little as 8 weeks.
Is Xtend safe?Not only do each of the individual ingredients used in Xtend have an incredibly high dosing threshold of safety and many years of validated clinical trials to support safety across a wide range of consumers, but Xtend did not adversely affect any measures of safety in either of the two clinical studies in which it was used chronically and at high doses for up to 10 weeks. Additionally, each batch of Xtend undergoes rigorous quality assurance and analytical testing to validate ingredient purity and potency, and is blended and packaged in an NSF for Sport certified facility to ensure no banned substances are inadvertently introduced into the manufacturing process while producing Xtend.
How does Xtend work?Xtend is formulated with a precise PentActive blend of key ingredients, synergistically involved in cellular processes to optimize muscle performance and response:
How does Xtend compare to other products?In both 8-week & 10-week clinical trials, under no or weight-reducing calorie restricted diets, respectively, Xtend has significantly outperformed Whey Protein, Carbohydrates and a 4:1 (Carb-to-Protein) sports beverage on measures of lean body mass, body fat, upper- and lower-body muscular endurance, and upper- and lower-body strength. No other product on the market even comes close! Within the physique and anaerobic sports nutrition industry, competitive products are either under-dosed, contain irrelevant ingredients included more for a label effect than a physiological one, or are so ignorantly formulated as to wonder what species' metabolism the company's R&D personnel believes to be their core audience. During exercise beverages for the endurance world, on the other hand, still depend too heavily on simple carbohydrates or, when amino acids are included, generally use low doses of a whey protein concentrate that yield only a fraction of the key amino acids and introduce unnecessary lactose and fat into a high-performance environment.
Are there any other products that will help improve the results I achieve when using Xtend?Xtend was formulated, and then recently reformulated to remove the need for additional ingredients while you train or compete. However, Xtend was explicitly formulated to contain no carbohydrates or sugar so that you could dictate how you may want to manipulate your carbohydrate needs based upon your training cycle or duration. Therefore, when carbohydrates are desired, combine Xtend with up to 0.45 g of carbohydrate per pound of bodyweight, per hour of exercise. When carbohydrates are added, increase the amount of water used per serving so that the finished formula concentration is easily digestible during exercise.
As a dietary supplement, mix one scoop per 8 oz. of water. Consult dosing chart to determine ideal number of scoops. Shake well and consume during exercise on training das, or throughout the day on non-training days.
Other Ingredients: Artificial Flavor, Citric Acid, Sucralose, Malic Acid, Acesulfame Potassium (Ace-K), FD&C Red Lake #40.Contains Soy.

KRONENWETTER, Wis. (WSAU) -- The new year means new guidelines for handling animal complaints in Marathon County.
Many communities are making adjustments after the Marathon County Board voted to stop funding the stray cat program at the Humane Society of Marathon County.
Kronenwetter police confirm that the county dropped the funding, and the Village Board also chose not to fund it. Without a funding source, the humane society cannot accept the animals. That means the police will only deal with stray dogs and any dog or cat that needs to be quarantined after biting someone.
Some communities, including Wausau and the Village of Weston, are using a new animal control program with mandatory licensing of pets to fund it. Not all communities in the county are interested in this approach.

My approach is to try and identify the best dividend stocks for the long term, and then dollar cost average my way into the position. I have had my fair share of dividend cutters however, which have resulted in reductions in dividend income. General Electric (GE) and American Capital (ACAS) are two examples where I suffered losses and declines in dividend income. I realize that no matter how good or bad of a stock picker I am, things could change and thus even the best plan could fail accordingly.
In order to minimize the risk of decreases in my dividend income, I have established several controls. Today I will discuss my views on diversification.
I like to keep a diversified portfolio of at least 30 dividend stocks. These stocks should be representative of several industries, in order to avoid weakness particular to specific sectors such as financials for example. The dividend aristocrats' index is a good place to start looking for income investments because it is more industry diversified. By keeping at least 30 stocks my portfolio will be more likely than not to show returns similar to what the market would return. Just because I am a dividend investor does not mean that I don't want to have any capital gains however. Quite on the contrary, dividend yields between 2% and 4% are sustainable if coupled with dividend growth potential. Thus I would expect prices to increase in order to maintain the current yield low and prevent most investors from realizing that yield on cost would be higher in the future.
Anyone who believes that a concentrated portfolio of 10- 15 stocks is the way to beat the market and has some success with it is probably playing with chance. Such a portfolio might return more than the averages initially, but sooner or later odds are that returns would get closer to index returns. Another problem with concentrated portfolios is the variability in total returns, relative to a portfolio of over 30 stocks. If all your stocks yielded 4% and you have one dividend eliminator and no increases, your dividend income would fall by 6.67% for the concentrated portfolio and 3.33% for the more diversified one. Thus, you would need portfolio dividend growth of 7.1% just to return to the same income level as before the dividend cut, leaving little room for keeping up with inflation. With a more diversified portfolio on the other hand you only need a 3.40% increase.
The problem with a more diversified portfolio is keeping track of more stocks. If one could easily learn everything about 10 – 15 stocks, then learning about 30+ stocks would probably take twice as much time. The solution is that most quality dividend stocks are characterized by strong competitive advantages, which are prevalent for many years if not decades. While keeping abreast of all developments is important, most of these developments would not have a material impact on the company in the long term. Examples include quarterly earnings and most news about companies. Thus, once you learn about particular companies, you could then spend more time learning about other stocks.
Another problem with a more diversified portfolio is that sometimes it is difficult to find thirty quality dividend stocks which are all trading at attractive valuations. Over the past two years this has not been a problem however, because of the bear market we have been experiencing. In retrospect however, building a quality dividend portfolio does take time. Thus, by starting small and initiating a position in as many attractively valued stocks as possible by dollar cost averaging your way into the position over time and looking for beaten down stocks, one could build a diversified portfolio consisting of over 30 stocks easily. I currently own 38 dividend stocks, and I am planning on expanding this number over time. In future articles I would be specifically addressing my portfolio.
Some of the greatest dividend stocks out there which are perfect building blocks for a dividend portfolio include:
Abbott (ABT) manufactures and sells health care products worldwide. The company operates through four segments: Pharmaceutical Products, Diagnostic Products, Nutritional Products and Vascular Products. Abbott Laboratories has increased dividends for 38 years in a row. The stock yields 3.40%. The yield on cost on stock purchased at the end of 1989 is 37%. (analysis)
Clorox (CLX) engages in the production, marketing, and sales of consumer products in the United States and internationally. The company operates through four segments: Cleaning, Lifestyle, Household, and International. Clorox has paid uninterrupted dividends on its common stock since it was spun out of Procter and Gamble (PG) in 1968 and increased payments to common shareholders every year for 32 years. The stock yields 3.10%.The yield on cost on stock purchased at the end of 1989 is 19%. (analysis)
Chevron Corporation (CVX) operates as an integrated energy company worldwide. The company is a dividend achiever, which has consistently boosted dividends for 22 consecutive years. The stock yields 3.50%. The yield on cost on stock purchased at the end of 1989 is 17%.(analysis)
Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) engages in the research and development, manufacture, and sale of various products in the health care field worldwide. The company operates through three segments: Consumer, Pharmaceutical, Medical Devices and Diagnostics. Johnson & Johnson has consistently increased dividends for 46 years in a row. The stock yields 3.40%. The yield on cost on stock purchased at the end of 1989 is 29.10%. (analysis)
PepsiCo (PEP) manufactures, markets, and sells various snacks, carbonated and non-carbonated beverages, and foods worldwide. PepsiCo has been raising dividends for 38 consecutive years. The stock yields 2.80%. The yield on cost on stock purchased at the end of 1989 is 16.90%.(analysis)
These high yields on cost are not incidental. Most of the original Dividend Aristocrats from 1989 are generating substantial yields on cost even after they stopped raising distributions consistently.
Full Disclosure: Long ABT, CLX, CVX, JNJ, PEP

Do you have DRIPs or do you use an online discount broker or a combination of both to maintain your portfolio? If you use a broker, can you recommend it?ReplyDelete
I use Zecco. You get 10 free trades/month if your account balance is over $25K or you made more than 25 trades the previous month. Of course when I started with them, investors received 10 free trades for balances over $2500.ReplyDelete
Hi, I was just about to ask which broker you use! I also have a Zecco account, but have no where near the 25K for free trades... so I'm hit with $4.50 a trade. I also have Sharebuilder account which costs $4 a trade.ReplyDelete
I'd like to get more into dividend investing. Based on your thoughts of needing at least 30 dividend stocks, what's the best way to build up a portfolio with balancing purchasing costs and the fact that I only have around $150 a month to devote to purchases? Do I just buy a few shares of a stock in month 1, another stock in month 2, another in 3, etc?
If I take $100 and buy JNJ today at 63.65... I'll walk with 1.5 shares after the $4 commission!
Is there a better way to approach this? Can you please point me in in the right direction?
Thanks so much!
You don't want to pay a 4% commission on your investments.ReplyDelete
Actually sogotrade has 100 free stock trades for one month after you open a new brokerage account with them. You could simply save up a few thousand and then open an account there and purchase 30 stocks.
Sharebuilder is offering 5 free trades: http://www.bargaineering.com/articles/five-free-sharebuilder-trades-promotion-code-hvc09ny.html

On Wednesday, the Oles hosted a strong Wartburg team that carried only one loss on the season. After a scoreless first half, the Knights Harrison Kimbombo-Lugujjo struck a shot past Eric Smith 08, who had eight saves in the contest. The game-winner lifted the Knights to a 1-0 non-conference victory.
Wartburg had 16 shots, 12 in the second half, while St. Olaf only recorded eight total.
On Saturday, the Oles welcomed Concordia-Moorehead to Rolf Melby Field with the hope of regaining confidence against a mediocre Cobbers team.
St. Olaf outshot the Knights 19-12, but neither team was able to find the net, resulting in a 0-0 draw. The tie gave both teams their first point in the MIAC standings.
Head Coach Kurt Anderson was not discouraged by the result. Rather, he praised the efforts of his players.
Its unlucky we didnt get a goal, Anderson said. The kids did very well, but it doesnt always show on the scoreboard.
Sundays contest against UW-Oshkosh extended the Oles winless streak to five. In addition, the Oles will have to deal without key defender Andrew Gastineau 07, who received a second caution in the same match, resulting in a red card. Gastineau will sit out the match against Bethel on Wednesday.
UW-Oshkosh registered 16 shots, while the Oles only managed four. The goals came in the 40th and 75th minutes for the Titans.
St. Olaf has only scored one goal in their last five games. Fortunately for the Oles, they have the chance to get back on track as four of their next five matches are against sub-.500 opponents.
Standing 2-4-1 overall and 0-2-1 in MIAC play, St. Olaf travels to last-place Bethel University for a MIAC match at 4 p.m on Sept 27. The men will host conference power Gustavus on Sept. 30 and non-conference Northwestern College on Oct 3.

There is a new look and a new feeling on campus clean and green.
From new state-of-the-art buildings to odorless cleaning products to electric cars, UW-Superior is taking steps to be more environmentally friendly.
One of the most visible highlights of sustainability on campus is the Yellowjacket Union, which opened January 2010. It recently achieved a coveted LEED® Silver certification, an honor awarded by the U.S. Green Building Council for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. Gail Archambault, director of the Yellowjacket Union, is proud of the certification achievement.
"The design team's goal from the beginning was to become LEED-certified," she said. "Everything we did in the design process air handling, water, natural lighting, and the green roof were all concepts designed to achieve that goal."
Many building design details, from its orientation, contents and window design to its roof help maintain even temperatures year round. In the winter, the low-angled sunshine helps to heat the building. In the summer, a living "green roof" helps to cool the building. The sloping roof¹s thick mat of vegetation absorbs rainwater, reducing the impact on the neighborhood storm runoff. The excess rain also moves into a rain garden which slows down the overflow into the city system. The roof is one of the northernmost green roofs of its kind, and university officials say it¹s doing well since it was installed in August 2009.
Inside the YU, one will find even more examples of those committed to a greener environment.
"The furniture that we purchased, the carpeting, the paint all had to have a low VOC (volatile organic compounds) rating and contain recycled content," Archambault added. Bathroom fixtures also feature unique sustainable options.
The Jacket Java coffee shop, run by A'viands in the Yellowjacket Union, has been named a 2-Star Certified Green Restaurant by the Green Restaurant Association.® When it opened, it was just the fourth of its kind in Wisconsin that could claim that distinction.
Debora Novotny, A¹viands director of food service at UW-Superior, was thrilled to get that honor. "A'viands has a full-scale recycling program.
They recycle all cardboard, paper, plastics and cans. All food waste is picked up and composted, and cooking oil is picked up weekly and recycled into livestock feed ingredients and biofuels." A'viands tries to use as many locally produced items as it can, such as veggies from the Residence Life gardens on campus, which produce tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, and herbs for the café.
Energy-saving options are used outside Yellowjacket Union as well. Tom Fennessey, director of facilities management at UW-Superior, agrees that the parking lot changes are a big plus. "The lights are dark-sky compliant. They are brighter and cleaner and shed light better," he said. "They require fewer light poles, reduce light pollution and are compliant with the City of Superior nuisance lighting ordinance. We have tried to downcast and at the same time allow enough light for security."
The parking lot also features bioswales landscaped shallow depressions that capture and hold the snow and rain, filtering it before it reaches the city storm sewer system. Some of the water evaporates and the bioswales are able to hold most of it long enough to soak in and cleanse it. The university also has bioswales at the Jim Dan Hill Library, Marcovich Wellness Center, Ross Hall and Hawkes Hall parking lots.
Fennessey gives credit to the students for their determination that the Yellowjacket Union be LEED-certified. "This buildling will be their legacy for years to come; they helped plan and pay for the building."
Another new campus building, Swenson Hall, was built to LEED Silver certified standards. Opened in 2011, this new academic building has sustainable features, such as maximum use of natural lighting. It¹s built with materials including bio-based floor tile, terrazzo, carpet, and ceramic tile made with recycled materials.
The facilities management staff at UW-Superior has been a shining star in sustainability, leading by example. Staff members ride around campus on mountain bikes and have made the department nearly paperless, working with tablets and iPads whenever possible. The unit has been using the bikes for about three years now and Fennessey believes riding the bikes around campus makes a difference.
"It¹s not only a sustainability thing. It also is a healthy thing. It allows us to see the campus at a different level. It gives us a student perspective of where the bike racks are, how many there are and the condition of the roads and sidewalks around campus." Using the bikes over the last three years has also limited miles on the car fleet.
Over the past five years facilities management has incorporated greener cleaning products. UW-Superior has been on the cutting edge of technology, using Green Seal-certified chemicals that don¹t harm the environment. No pesticides or herbicides are used on lawns and the grass is kept a bit higher to save even more resources on mowing, weed control and watering.
There are also more "no mow zones" throughout campus near creeks, hills and waterways.
Frank Andrews, building and grounds superintendent at UW-Superior, has trained with Twin Ports Sustainability and has helped lead the way in the use of cleaner, greener chemicals on campus.
"We now use ionators that use a positive and negative charge just using regular tap water. The people that use them, love them. You can clean with just cold water and reduce the stress on the hands all at the same time. It¹s cleaner and safer," he says.
When older equipment wears out, the university has been getting newer sustainable equipment to replace it. Many of the new cleaning products have no scent which is industry standard. They are also using new and improved waxing and stripping products on the floors that are more environmentally friendly.
The administration at UW-Superior had the vision and the foresight to recycle buildings during demolition. The old Rothwell Student Center was 86 percent recycled as items were used for other purposes. Sundquist Hall was 93 percent recycled, McCaskill Hall 55 percent, Ross/Hawkes Hall renovations 80 percent. The State of Wisconsin had a minimum demolition and construction rate of 50 percent, but was so impressed with innovative practices at UW-Superior they raised the standard to 75 percent.
Dusty Johnson, facilities project manager added, "The school has been the leader in recycled buildings. The Ross and Hawkes residence hall remodeling is also keeping pace with other new construction on campus. The redesigned Ross and Hawkes Hall, which is slated to open in the fall, will make use of natural lighting and energy efficient lighting systems and will have improved heating and cooling systems."
Johnson pointed out that the students had a hand in making the residence halls environmentally friendly as well. "Students helped design the suites, bathrooms and made furniture selections."
The campus will also begin utilizing four new electric cars to move people and equipment around campus. The Neighborhood Electric Vehicle (NEV) cars are low-speed and road-compliant. The electric vehicles were originally built for the military and have about 50 miles of road life with each charge. The cars can recharge at any standard electric outlet and will allow the campus to save money on fuel.
The greenhouse connected to Barstow Hall, opening June 2013, is much more energy efficient than the old greenhouse, which will also be recycled.
The new Stanley Oexemann Greenhouse will be about 450 square feet smaller than the former, but it will include a "tall house" portion to accommodate large plants.
On your next campus visit, take a look around and notice the new look and feeling: clean and green!

Running this Web site and its related activities costs me a substantial sum each year, which I don't begrudge in the slightest. But it would be good to get some income to help defray costs, especially as they are rising as the site becomes continually more popular. I have set my face against ever allowing advertising on the site, nor do I ever intend to charge for the newsletter. However, there are three ways you can help.
You can make a donation to World Wide Words by credit card through the PayPal system. You do not need to have a PayPal account to do this. Click the logo at right to make a donation in various currencies.
Electronic transfers are always welcome — for more information, please contact me. As a further possibility, you may be able to contribute by sending a cheque or cash through the post. Again, contact me for more information.
Another way you can help is to buy items from online bookshops. If you use one of the links to the right, World Wide Words gets a small commission on each item you buy, at no extra cost to you.
My most recent book, Why is Q Always Followed by U?, features about 200 updated, enlarged and rewritten answers to the more popular questions visitors to this site have asked in the past decade. Before that came Gallimaufry, which is about words that are vanishing from the language. An earlier one, with the title Port Out, Starboard Home (in the USA Ballyhoo, Buckaroo, and Spuds) debunks legends told and retold about the origins of puzzling words and phrases; it was for a while in the UK bestseller charts and continues to sell well.

Post Typography created this cover illustration for today's Washington Post Outlook section, in which editorials by Republican pollster Frank Luntz and former Democratic Majority Leader Tom Daschle recommend ways for a polarized congress to come together to address our country's urgent problems. Art Director Kristin Lenz worked the "don't be mad" fold-in concept into the layout as the two editorials are pulled together when the page is folded. For an added bonus, the "OUTLOOK" masthead folds to become "OK."
