I was wondering if anyone else has experienced soreness that never goes away, and actually becomes painful. i did a very tough UBW last week, and I knew I went a bit too heavy on my tricep extensions. I now am having trouble using my right elbow. I did an UPB this week, but did virtually no tricep work. My other upper body exercises needed to be changed since certain normal routines for me were causing pain. It wasnt easy, but I did finish. I've read many online diagnoses, and even my husband has said tendonitis. He said to rest it. And apparently, tricep extensions using dumpbells isnt the best exercise out there. Wish I had known that sooner. My elbow is sore to the touch, like I was hit there with a baseball. Anyone else experience something like this?
Ouch, thats a bummer.
I had to stop playing racquetball last week.
I get something like tennis/pitchers elbow real easy.
Hurts deep inside my elbow area.
Affected my curl set and was a little panful.
Then, my ubwo this Friday, it wasn't as bad but noticeable.
Usually takes like 3 weeks or even four for it to go away.
There is a pressure point at the top of my fore arm.
I just press in with the tip of my thumb and locate a sore spot.
I apply pressure there, and it hurts while doing it, but when I let up after a good minute, it relieves the pain in my elbow - temporarily.
Not sure if yours is the same, but since I've been through this with mine before, I know for mine what it is, and that, it will go away.
But, for yours, it may be more involved. Definitely try a different tricep work out, and see if there is one that won't agitate it.
May want to consult with an actual Physician.
Theres the whole ice packs and hot water process that helps reduce swelling, and some of the discomfort.
I am sorry you are dealing with this.
Keep us posted.

OUCH! My husband has really bad tendinitis in his elbow and knee. He takes a product called Move Free. It's not cheap...$30 or so a bottle but he says it works wonders!
I have issues with my elbow as well. I was told that it's from gripping the dumbbells too tightly and sure enough once I loosened my finger grip, it's gotten progressively better.

Lil, I too had the same problem especially when I was still playing racquetball while I was doing my challenge. My dr recommended something called a counterforce strap. It simply goes on the forearm just below the elbow. It basically takes the energy exerted on the elbow and distributes it throughout the muscles of the forearm etc. It worked wonders for me.You can get the strap at CVS, WALGREENS or even Dicks Sporting goods. It is usually called an elbow strap but it is the same thing. Give it a shot and see what happens.

Thanks, Ray - I will try it, too!
Thanks, great advice. I think I might give it another week to see a doc, since I'm trying very hard not to aggravate it. Advil did the job yesterday, so at least I have that to fall back on. Hoping 3-4 weeks is all it needs. I have two UBWOs this week starting Wednesday, so I might just get that strap and give it a try. Will report my findings since I'm not the only one with this annoying problem it seems!
Lil, The fact that Advil helped is a good sign, definitely use the strap and it will help
I'm suffering from patellar tendinitis, and it's really hampering my workouts! And if your elbow feels anything like my knee, I know it hurts! I wonder if the strap would work for the knee as well. I'm going to look into it. I haven't resorted to Advil, yet, just have been icing it. Hope you find relief soon! :)

The other really important thing is to never extend your arms to the point of locking the elbow, always stop just a hair short of a straight arm (or leg for that matter, don't lock the knee either). I've experienced the pain you described as a result of over extension. As the other poster said, loosen your grip. Also, keep a slight forward bend in your wrists. It's probably just a few little things in your technique that caused it. Try icing it every night too.
The big thing is to find out what it is so you can properly treat it, properly isolate it while continuing to do your exercise program, and avoid it from happening in the future. A doctor specializing in sports medicine is the best option for this...
I'm sorry that you're elbow is hurting. I can tell you from experience (personal and professional) that you need to see a professional for an examination.
Don't wait this out just hoping for it to be better. On average, I see that my patients that come in as soon as an injury occurs have better outcomes and the local doctors who see the high caliber athletes don't hesitate to send to PT very soon after an injury for rehab (unless there's a fracture that needs to be immobilized).
Which professional to see? A primary care physician is the hub. But they aren't typically trained as specialists in musculoskeletal injuries (which from the description of the mechanism of injury / how it happened and the location is what you have). An orthopaedic surgeon does just that, perform surgery so that's probably not the first step. You should find an MD or DO who specializes in sports medicine (has performed advanced training in the form of residency or fellowship) OR a physical therapist who specializes in orthopaedics. You can find a PT by going to www.apta.org. Click on find a PT and then follow the steps. That website and a call to your insurance carrier can tell you if you need a referral or if you can go straight to the PT because most states now have direct access. Meaning you can directly go to the PT w/o seeing an MD (state laws very so you'll have to check on your state).
But the bottom line...don't wait and don't just take diagnosis and treatment plans that are given without a professionals examination.
If you have more questions, let me know.

Hi Karol,
I have patellar tendinitis too, and it is a huge pain in the knee! ;-) I use a patellar tendon strap and that seems to help somewhat. Although it occasionally hurts while I'm wearing it, I've found that using the strap reduces pain afterwards. and I always ice after workouts. The strap is just a black elastic band that goes right on top of the tendon; mine has a "PT" logo on the front. My physical therapist says it doesn't have to be on tight, so no need to cause too much pressure on the tendon. Good luck!
Hi Lindsay! Glad I checked back in here. I'm sitting here icing my knee as I type this. I'm going to look into the strap. Thank you for the info! I'm in week 7 and it's still bothering me. Worse on some days than others though. I will not let it slow me down though! I will see this challenge through!!! :)

Author: BENNETT, KATHLEEN Abstract: BACKGROUND: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the second most common bacterial infections in general practice and a frequent indication for prescription of antimicrobials. Increasing concern about the association between the use of antimicrobials and acquired antimicrobial resistance has highlighted the need for rational pharmacotherapy of common infections in general practice. METHODS: Management of urinary tract infections in general practice was studied prospectively over 8 weeks. Patients presenting with suspected UTI submitted a urine sample and were enrolled with an opt-out methodology. Data were collected on demographic variables, previous antimicrobial use and urine samples. Appropriateness of different treatment scenarios was assessed by comparing treatment with the laboratory report of the urine sample. RESULTS: A total of 22 practices participated in the study and included 866 patients. Bacteriuria was established for 21% of the patients, pyuria without bacteriuria for 9% and 70% showed no laboratory evidence of UTI. An antimicrobial agent was prescribed to 56% (481) of the patients, of whom 33% had an isolate, 11% with pyuria only and 56% without laboratory evidence of UTI. When taking all patients into account, 14% patients had an isolate identified and were prescribed an antimicrobial to which the isolate was susceptible. The agents most commonly prescribed for UTI were co-amoxyclav (33%), trimethoprim (26%) and fluoroquinolones (17%). Variation between practices in antimicrobial prescribing as well as in their preference for certain antimicrobials, was observed. Treatment as prescribed by the GP was interpreted as appropriate for 55% of the patients. Three different treatment scenarios were simulated, i.e. if all patients who received an antimicrobial were treated with nitrofurantoin, trimethoprim or ciprofloxacin only. Treatment as prescribed by the GP was no more effective than treatment with nitrofurantoin for all patients given an antimicrobial or treatment with ciprofloxacin in all patients. Prescribing cost was lower for nitrofurantoin. Empirical treatment of all patients with trimethoprim only was less effective due to the higher resistance levels. CONCLUSIONS: There appears to be considerable scope to reduce the frequency and increase the quality of antimicrobial prescribing for patients with suspected UTI.

Here we review recent research on how the Alzheimer's disease amyloid ß-protein (Aß) affects glutamate receptors and fast excitatory synaptic transmission and plasticity of that transmission. L-glutamate, the main excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain, has long been implicated in causing NMDA receptor-mediated excitotoxicity leading to neurodegeneration in the late stages of the disease. However there is now extensive evidence that soluble Aß oligomers disrupt synaptic transmission and especially synaptic plasticity via non-excitotoxic glutamatergic mechanisms. New data highlight the relatively selective involvement of certain glutamate receptor subtypes including GluN2B (NR2B) subunit-containing NMDA receptors and mGlu5 receptors. Aß exerts direct and indirect effects on synaptic plasticity-related glutamate receptor signaling and trafficking between different neuronal compartments. For example, Aß-induced ectopic NMDA and mGlu receptor-mediated signaling coupled with caspase-3 activation may cause inhibition of long-term potentiation and facilitation of long-term depression. Intriguingly, some of the disruptive synaptic actions of Aß have been found to be dependent on endogenous tau located in dendrites or spines. Given the role of glutamatergic transmission in regulating Aß production and release, future therapies targeting glutamate offer the opportunity to remedy both mis-processing of Aß and cellular mechanisms of synaptic failure in early AD. Description: PUBLISHED 2012-01-01T00:00:00Z Amyloid-Beta protein dimers isolated directly from Alzheimer's brains impair synaptic plasticity and memory. http://hdl.handle.net/2262/60917 Title: Amyloid-Beta protein dimers isolated directly from Alzheimer's brains impair synaptic plasticity and memory. Author: ROWAN, MICHAEL JOSEPH Abstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) constitutes a rising threat to public health. Despite extensive research in cellular and animal models, identifying the pathogenic agent present in the human brain and showing that it confers key features of AD have not been achieved. We extracted soluble amyloid β–protein (Aβ) oligomers directly from the cerebral cortex of typical AD subjects. The oligomers potently inhibited long term potentiation (LTP), enhanced long term depression (LTD), and reduced dendritic spine density in normal rodent hippocampus. Soluble Aβ from AD brain also disrupted the memory of a learned behavior in normal rats. These various effects were specifically attributable to Aβ dimers. Mechanistically, metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR) were required for LTD enhancement and NMDA receptors (NMDAR) for spine loss. Co-administering antibodies to the Aβ N-terminus prevented the LTP and LTD deficits, whereas antibodies to the mid-region or C-terminus were less effective. Insoluble amyloid plaque cores from AD cortex did not impair LTP unless they were first solubilized to release Aβ dimers, suggesting that plaque cores are largely inactive but sequester Aβ dimers that are synaptotoxic. We conclude that soluble Aβ oligomers extracted from AD brains potently impair synapse structure and function and that dimers are the smallest synaptotoxic species.

Here we report that intracerebroventricular injection of A -containing aqueous extracts of Alzheimer's disease (AD) brain robustly inhibits long-term potentiation (LTP) without significantly affecting baseline excitatory synaptic transmission in the rat hippocampus in vivo. Moreover, the disruption of LTP was abrogated by immunodepletionofA . Importantly, intracerebroventricular administration of antigen-binding antibody fragment D13, directed to a putative A -binding site on PrPC, prevented the inhibition of LTP by AD brain-derived A . In contrast, R1, a Fab directed to the C terminus of PrPC, a regionnotimplicatedinbindingofA ,didnotsignificantly affect theA -mediatedinhibition ofLTP.These data support the pathophysiological significance of SDS-stable A dimer and the role of PrPC in mediating synaptic plasticity disruption by soluble A .

Author: ROWAN, MICHAEL JOSEPH; KLYUBIN, IGOR Abstract: A role for PrP in the toxic effect of oligomeric forms of Aβ, implicated in Alzheimer's disease (AD), has been suggested but remains controversial. Here we show that PrP is required for the plasticity-impairing effects of ex vivo material from human AD brain and that standardized Aβ-derived diffusible ligand (ADDL) preparations disrupt hippocampal synaptic plasticity in a PrP-dependent manner. We screened a panel of anti-PrP antibodies for their ability to disrupt the ADDL–PrP interaction. Antibodies directed to the principal PrP/Aβ-binding site and to PrP helix-1, were able to block Aβ binding to PrP suggesting that the toxic Aβ species are of relatively high molecular mass and/or may bind multiple PrP molecules. Two representative and extensively characterized monoclonal antibodies directed to these regions, ICSM-35 and ICSM-18, were shown to block the Aβ-mediated disruption of synaptic plasticity validating these antibodies as candidate therapeutics for AD either individually or in combination. Description: PUBLISHED 2011-01-01T00:00:00Z Cyclooxygenase-2 inhibition improves amyloid-beta-mediated suppression of memory and synaptic plasticity http://hdl.handle.net/2262/40189 Title: Cyclooxygenase-2 inhibition improves amyloid-beta-mediated suppression of memory and synaptic plasticity Author: ROWAN, MICHAEL JOSEPH; ANWYL, ROGER; WANG, QIN-WEN Abstract: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents (NSAIDs) are associated with a marked reduction in the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease, a form of dementia characterized by the accumulation of amyloid plaques containing the amyloid-β protein (Aβ). Studies of the effects of NSAIDs upon the inflammatory response surrounding amyloid plaques and upon the generation of Aβ from the amyloid precursor protein (APP) have led to two proposed mechanisms by which NSAIDs may protect against Alzheimer's disease: one, the selective lowering of Aβ42 by a subset of NSAIDs; and two, the reduction of inflammation. Although Alzheimer's disease is a disorder of brain and synaptic function, the effects of NSAIDs on Aβ-mediated suppression of synaptic plasticity and memory function have never been reported. We therefore investigated how three different NSAIDs, chosen for their distinct effects on Aβ42 production and the inhibition of the cyclooxygenase (COX) isoenzymes, COX-1 and COX-2, affect memory function and synaptic plasticity. By focusing upon brain and synapse function, we made novel observations about the effects of NSAIDs on Aβ-mediated neural processes. Here we report that the selective inhibition of COX-2, but not COX-1, acutely prevented the suppression of hippocampal long-term plasticity (LTP) by Aβ. The non-selective NSAIDs, ibuprofen and naproxen, and a selective COX-2 inhibitor, MF-tricyclic, each restored memory function in Tg2576 mice over-expressing APP, and also blocked Aβ-mediated inhibition of LTP. There was no advantage of ibuprofen, a selective Aβ42-lowering agent (SALA), over the non-SALAs, naproxen and MF-tricyclic. The beneficial effects on memory did not depend upon lowered levels of Aβ42 or the inflammatory cytokines, tumour necrosis factor (TNF-) and interleukin 1β (IL-1β). Intriguingly, improved memory function was inversely related to prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) levels. Conversely, exogenous PGE2 prevented the restorative effects of COX-2 inhibitors on LTP. The data indicate that the inhibition of COX-2 blocks Aβ-mediated suppression of LTP and memory function, and that this block occurs independently of reductions in Aβ42 or decreases in inflammation. The results lead us to propose a third possible mechanism by which NSAIDs may protect against Alzheimer's disease, involving the blockade of a COX-2-mediated PGE2 response at synapses.

Author: ROWAN, MICHAEL JOSEPH; ANWYL, ROGER Abstract: An animal model of depression combining genetic vulnerability and early-life stress (ELS) was prepared by submitting the Flinders Sensitive Line (FSL) rats to a standard paradigm of maternal separation. We analysed hippocampal synaptic transmission and plasticity in vivo and ionotropic receptors for glutamate in FSL rats, in their controls Flinders Resistant Line (FRL) rats, and in both lines subjected to ELS. A strong inhibition of long-term potentiation (LTP) and lower synaptic expression of NR1 subunit of the NMDA receptor were found in FSL rats. Remarkably, ELS induced a remodelling of synaptic plasticity only in FSL rats, reducing inhibition of LTP; this was accompanied by marked increase of synaptic NR1 subunit and GluR2/3 subunits of AMPA receptors. Chronic treatment with escitalopram inhibited LTP in FRL rats, but this effect was attenuated by prior ELS. The present results suggest that early gene-environment interactions cause lifelong synaptic changes affecting functional and molecular aspects of plasticity, partly reversed by antidepressant treatments.

One probable dose-limiting factor in the use of memantine is the inhibition of NMDA receptor-dependent synaptic plasticity mechanisms believed to underlie certain forms of memory. Moreover, amyloid-beta protein (Abeta) oligomers that are implicated in causing the cognitive deficits of AD potently inhibit this form of plasticity. Here we examined if subtype-preferring NMDA receptor antagonists could preferentially protect against the inhibition of NMDA receptor-dependent plasticity of excitatory synaptic transmission by Abeta in the hippocampus in vivo. Using doses that did not affect control plasticity, antagonists selective for NMDA receptors containing GluN2B but not other GluN2 subunits prevented Abeta(1-42) -mediated inhibition of plasticity. Evidence that the proinflammatory cytokine TNFalpha mediates this deleterious action of Ass was provided by the ability of TNFalpha antagonists to prevent Abeta(1-42) inhibition of plasticity and the abrogation of a similar disruptive effect of TNFalpha using a GluN2B-selective antagonist. Moreover, at nearby synapses that were resistant to the inhibitory effect of TNFalpha, Abeta(1-42) did not significantly affect plasticity. These findings suggest that preferentially targeting GluN2B subunit-containing NMDARs may provide an effective means of preventing cognitive deficits in early Alzheimer's disease.

METHODS: The cell-based IMPACT CHD mortality model was used to integrate data for Ireland describing CHD patient numbers, uptake of specific treatments, trends in major cardiovascular risk factors, and the mortality benefits of these specific risk factor changes in CHD patients and in healthy people without recognised CHD. RESULTS: Between 1985 and 2000, approximately 2,530 fewer deaths were attributable to reductions in the three major risk factors in Ireland. Overall smoking prevalence declined by 14% between 1985 and 2000, resulting in about 685 fewer deaths (minimum estimate 330, maximum estimate 1,285) attributable to smoking cessation: about 275 in healthy people and 410 in known CHD patients. Population total cholesterol concentrations fell by 4.6%, resulting in approximately 1,300 (minimum estimate 1,115, maximum estimate 1,660) fewer deaths attributable to dietary changes(1,185 in healthy people and 115 in CHD patients) plus 305 fewer deaths attributable to statin treatment (45 in people without CHD and 260 in CHD patients). Mean population diastolic blood pressure fell by 7.2%, resulting in approximately 170 (minimum estimate 105, maximum estimate 300) fewer deaths attributable to secular falls in blood pressure (140 in healthy people and 30 in CHD patients), plus approximately 70 fewer deaths attributable to antihypertensive treatments in people without CHD. Of all the deaths attributable to risk factor falls, some 1,715 (68%) occurred in people without recognized CHD and 815(32%) in CHD patients. CONCLUSION: Compared with secondary prevention, primary prevention achieved a two-fold larger reduction in CHD deaths. Future national CHD policies should therefore prioritize nationwide interventions to promote healthy diets and reduce smoking.

When advanced, this disease is characterized by life-threatening opportunistic infections. As the formal health sector struggles to confront this epidemic, new medicines from traditional sources are needed to complement control efforts. This study was conducted to document herbal medicines used in the treatment of HIV/AIDS and related opportunistic infections, and to document the existing knowledge, attitudes and practices related to HIV/AIDS recognition, control and treatment in Sembabule, Kamuli, Kabale and Gulu districts in Uganda. Methods: In this study, 25 traditional medicine practitioners (TMPs) were interviewed using structured questionnaires. Results The TMPs could recognize important signs and symptoms of HIV/AIDS and its associated opportunistic infections. The majority of practitioners treated patients who were already receiving allopathic medicines including antiretroviral drugs (ARVs) prescribed by allopathic practitioners. There were 103 species of medicinal plants identified in this survey. Priority plants identified include Aloe spp., Erythrina abyssinica, Sarcocephalus latifolius, Psorospermum febrifugum, Mangifera indica and Warburgia salutaris. There was low consensus among TMPs on the plants used. Decoctions of multiple plant species were commonly used except in Gulu where monopreparations were common. Plant parts frequently used were leaves (33%) stem bark (23%) and root bark (18%). About 80% of preparations were administered orally in variable doses over varied time periods. The TMP had insufficient knowledge about packaging and preservation techniques. Conclusions: Numerous medicinal plants for treatment of HIV/AIDS patients were identified in the four districts surveyed and the role of these plants in the management of opportunistic infections warrants further investigation as these plants may have a role in Uganda's public health approach to HIV/AIDS control.

They really seem to out do themselves each and every year. They look fantastic.
2013 NBA All-Star uniforms unveiled
By Ben Eagle
We won't know who will be playing in the 2013 NBA All-Star Game in Houston until Thursday night, but we now know what they'll be wearing.
Inspired by Houston's "rich aeronautical history and the speed of the jet planes that dot its skies," the jerseys, released by Adidas Wednesday morning, feature shooting stars on the side and a camo-like pattern throughout the torso. Gone is the contrasting fade that marked last year's jerseys.
Adidas also notes that the yet-to-be-released "aviator-style" All-Star warmups will feature individual career accomplishments, including All-Star Game appearances, All-Star Game MVP awards, NBA titles and regular-season awards. This sounds like it'll be a great touch, though I wonder if there will be enough room for all of Kobe's accolades.
Miss the contrast of last year's uniforms? Pinning for the two-tone look of 2008? Let us know in the comment section below.
That two-tone look from 2008 has got to g-o!. The absolute worst eva! Especially the ones with gold...Yech!!!
The two color unis from 2008 were by far the worst unis ever designed. It was impossible to tell the teams apart!!!! I had to stop watching the game after 10 minutes.
Better tham last year. But those 2 tones ones look pretty nice.
Personally I love those jerseys. I may even consider to get one of those as both an NBA fan and space fan.
And I thought it was a jinx to put John Stockton's number on the West's jersey unless he is coming out of retirement to lead the West..... :)
It's a conspiracy to jinx the East team by putting '13' on the jersey.
(And yes, I'm making a joke).

Making a business out of a game is hard work. It takes great design, unique mechanics, creative marketing and some serious dedication to build a successful game. Turning this successful game into a business requires all of the above, plus a large amount of users that are willing to give you their money. And, if you want to give away access to your game or app for free, as many game makers now do, you will need an even larger number of total users to derive your paid user base from.
The problem with virtual goods is that you need millions of users in order to reach $1M in revenue, especially with free-to-paid conversion rates for most social games being in the single digits and average revenue per user (ARPU) often hovering around $1. I wrote a in-depth blog post about this (read it here: http://betab.ly/qAe4Vr) and would love some feedback. Thanks!

One of my favorite television moments from when I was a teenager was when Norm MacDonald returned to host Saturday Night Live in late 1999, less than two years after he'd been fired from the show. Norm dedicated his monologue to trying to figure out how he'd managed to go from unemployed to headlining the show in such a short period of time, finally coming to this pointed realization:
So I wondered, how did I go in a year and half from being not funny enough to be even allowed in the building, to being so funny that I'm now hosting the show? How did I suddenly get so goddamn funny? It was inexplicable to me, because, a year and a half, let's face it, is not enough time for a dude to learn how to be funny! Then it occurred to me… I haven't gotten funnier. The show… has gotten really bad! So, yeah, I'm funny compared to, you know, well, you'll see later. Okay, so let's recap. The bad news is: I'm still not funny. The good news is: the show blows!
I'm an admitted Norm fanboy, so I've had that speech bouncing around my head (particularly the "bad news, good news" line) for years. I bring it up today because I started thinking about what to expect from James Loney this year – trust me, there's a connection that will make sense in a second – and that's exactly the line I started thinking about.
You see, the National League in 2012 has all of a sudden found itself in a severe drought when it comes to non-Joey Votto options at first base, traditionally one of the most productive offensive players in the lineup if you're doing it right. (Which means that other than one good year from Nomar Garciaparra in 2006, the Dodgers haven't been "doing it right" since… what, a few good years from Eric Karros in the 90s? Steve Garvey before that?) Albert Pujols is off from St. Louis to Anaheim, and Prince Fielder joined him in the American League with Detroit. The other notable masher at the position, Ryan Howard, is probably going to miss several months recovering from his Achilles injury – even before that he wasn't as valuable as most believe anyway – and it's anyone's guess as to what his NL East colleagues in Ike Davis and Adam LaRoche can do after missing most of 2011 with serious injuries. A league that once had Pujols, Fielder, Howard, Adrian Gonzalez, and Adam Dunn & Derrek Lee when they were still productive now has only Votto and a whole lot of question marks.
This is a league where if the season began today, the collection of starting first basemen might very well include Bryan LaHair, Mat Gamel, Ty Wigginton (or Jim Thome!), Jesus Guzman, Aubrey Huff, Carlos Lee, and Garrett Jones. ("I'll take 'guys who aren't Lyle Overbay' for $200, Alex.") I know that won't be precisely the list – hey, maybe Brandon Belt or Yonder Alonso can beat out the incumbents this time around – but it's not far off, and it's hardly intimidating. Even the teams with first basemen coming off productive years have to worry about advancing age – I'm on your lawn, Todd Helton & Lance Berkman – or sophomore slumps from solid-but-hardly-elite youngsters like Freddie Freeman & Paul Goldschmidt.
Look at it this way: the average line from all NL first basemen last season was .270/.350/.450 (.801), narrowly beating out right field for the top offensive position in the league. Now take out 692 plate appearances of .981 performance from Fielder and replace them with Gamel, who is just a year younger but has still managed just a .684 OPS in parts of four seasons with the Brewers as he's been unable to prove he's more than a Quad-A player. Take out Pujols and replace him with Berkman, who actually outperformed Pujols last season as Albert dealt with a wrist injury but who few expect to repeat his 2011 at age 36. (Bill James predicts him at .894 next year, slightly less than what Pujols was able to do.) Take out some portion of Howard's .835 as he recovers, and the 606 plate appearances of .819 that Carlos Pena left behind in Chicago. Take out the excellent .336/.401/.601 in 354 plate appearances that Mike Morse had as a first baseman in Washington as he moves to left field, numbers which LaRoche can't match, and depreciate some of the .850 over 491 plate appearances that absolutely no one expects the soon-to-be 39-year-old Helton to repeat. (I'll acknowledge that if healthy, Davis should improve the Mets' 2011 performance at the position.)
Taking all that into consideration, it's not all that hard to think that the OPS production by NL first basemen in 2011 (and I shouldn't have to note that I know OPS isn't the best metric, but for a high-level look like this, it's fine) is going to sink south of .800, a number that it barely topped last year with Pujols and Fielder. If everything really goes wrong – if Helton and Berkman really fall apart, or if Davis can't make it back from injury, or if the Giants refuse to get over Huff, or if the new Marlins park is as pitcher-friendly as we've heard and that impacts Gaby Sanchez, etc. – it could be considerably lower than that.
And then there's Loney, looking up at the group with his .288/.339/.416 (.755) line from 2011. He's been the definition of mediocrity in his four years as a starter, with the only change being that in 2011 he decided being decent-but-no-better for the entire season was boring, and that it'd be far more fun to be gawd-awful for two months and then be red-hot for two months, with his final line coming in at basically the exact same place it always had. The problem was never that Loney was a terrible player (other than the first six weeks of 2011, of course), because there's value in a slick defensive player who can hit 10-12 homers and bat in the .280s, but that the bar at first base was set so high that by comparison he looked terrible.
Now, it seems, the bar might not be quite so high to be a decent first baseman in the National League, without even considering that Loney owns one of the better gloves in the circuit. If he repeats his 2011 exactly, his total package could make him average or just-below as far as NL first basemen go. If he's anything like he was over the last two months of 2011, he's one of the three best in the league. (And of course, if he's anything like he was in April and May, he's on the street by June.)
Is James Loney really any better than he's been before? Unless you really, really believe in the way he ended 2011, probably not, and believe me, I'm not thrilled about the fact he's making $6.375m this year. But when you compare him to, well, you'll see, maybe it's not so bad. So, to recap… the bad news is, Loney likely isn't suddenly a top first baseman. The good news is, well, just about no one else has one either.

A man lights a candle for Nelson Mandela outside South African High Commission in London, Friday, Dec. 6, 2013. Mandela, South Africa's first black president, died Thursday in Johannesburg, South Africa after a long illness. He was 95.
AP Photo/Sang Tan
In nearly seven decades spent fighting for freedom and equality, Nelson Mandela inspired and challenged the world to stand up for others. As word of Mandela's death spread, current and former presidents, athletes and entertainers, and people around the world spoke out about the life and legacy of the former South African leader.
"We've lost our greatest son."
Jacob Zuma
President of South Africa
"Like so many around the globe, I cannot fully imagine my own life without the example that Nelson Mandela set. ... He achieved more than could be expected of any man. ... We've lost one of the most influential, courageous and profoundly good human beings that any of us will share time with on this Earth. He no longer belongs to us. He belongs to the ages."
Barack Obama
President of the United States
"The people of South Africa and human rights advocates around the world have lost a great leader. His passion for freedom and justice created new hope for generations of oppressed people worldwide, and because of him, South Africa is today one of the world's leading democracies."
Jimmy Carter
Former U.S. president
"(He was) one of the great forces for freedom and equality of our time."
George W. Bush
Former U.S. president
"What an honor it was to step into the shoes of Nelson Mandela and portray a man who defied odds, broke down barriers, and championed human rights before the eyes of the world."
Idris Elba
Actor in the title role of 'Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom'
"He had the remarkable capacity to forgive his jailers . . . setting a powerful example of redemption and grace for us all."
George H.W. Bush
First U.S. president to welcome Mandela to the White House
"We will remember him as a man of uncommon grace and compassion, for whom abandoning bitterness and embracing adversaries was not just a political strategy but a way of life."
Bill Clinton
Former U.S. president
"His words and deeds ... inspired millions ... to stand in abiding solidarity with one another. ... (He) embodied the finest and most noble qualities of the human spirit ..."
Angus King
U.S. senator from Maine
"Through his dignity, grace and the quality of his forgiveness, he made racism everywhere not just immoral but stupid; something not only to be disagreed with, but to be despised. In its place he put the inalienable right of all humankind to be free and to be equal."
Tony Blair
Former British prime minister
"A heroic individual of consummate dignity and courage, he shone with a light that will forever cast its glow on the history of humankind."
Olympia Snowe
Former U.S. senator from Maine
"He went on to overcome adversity with a grace and purpose that not only moved his nation, but countless others toward justice and freedom."
Mike Michaud
U.S. representative from Maine
"(He was) a man of quiet dignity and towering achievement, a giant for justice and a down-to-earth human inspiration."
Ban Ki-moon
U.N. secretary general
"(He will) be remembered as the founder of a vibrant democracy who brought justice and freedom to millions."
Susan Collins
U.S. senator from Maine
"A great light has gone out in the world."
David Cameron
British prime minister
"Even when faced with the cruelty of apartheid, even when he was put in prison for his political beliefs, he continued to believe that peace, nonviolence and dialogue would triumph over injustice."

Italy 2-1 Germany
Prandelli: Italy must be respected
Coach hails extraordinary performance
Italy coach Cesare Prandelli warned Euro 2012 final opponents Spain that his side must be respected after defeating Germany 2-1 to book a place in Sunday's showpiece.
Two first-half goals from Mario Balotelli prolonged Italy's remarkable record in this fixture - they have never lost a tournament game to Germany - while Mesut Ozil's injury-time penalty was nothing more than a consolation.
Joachim Low's side, one of the pre-tournament favourites, never got to grips with Italian playmaker Andrea Pirlo, or Balotelli, who gave his most dynamic display in an Azzurri shirt.
And Prandelli was purring over the performance as he warned Spain, who Italy drew 1-1 with in the group stages, not to underestimate his charges.
"The last 15 minutes saw us waste two chances to make it 3-0 and some players had nothing left, so we were forced to defend, but overall it was an extraordinary performance," he said.
"We did what we wanted to and thought could cause problems for Germany, playing through the middle with Riccardo Montolivo and above all the one-against-one with Antonio Cassano."
Prandelli paid tribute to mercurial striker Balotelli, with whom he is rumoured to have had several disagreements at Euro 2012, after the Manchester City striker became the tournament's joint-top scorer.
The Azzurri coach also said Spain would start as favourites in Kiev this weekend, but demanded maximum commitment from his players.
"Balotelli's career has just started," he said. "Spain are the favourites in terms of experience and consistency, but we are in there.
"The important thing is we set an example of how much we care about this jersey and everyone should show respect when talking about Italy."
Defender Giorgio Chiellini, who recovered from a thigh injury to reclaim his place, said it was a dream to be in the final.
"To be honest, 10 days ago it was just a dream to be here and I must thank the medical staff for getting me back so quickly," he said.
"We are certainly living a dream and with us millions of Italians. We want to keep dreaming and make it come true on Sunday. We will enjoy this victory for a few more minutes, but then our thoughts go to the final."
"Tradition or not, the present is what counts and we believed from the start. I don't know about others, but we were convinced we could win this game and had everything to trouble Germany.
"It's natural they have great players and were dangerous, but we defended well and in all honesty 3-0 would've been a fitting result."
Chiellini said his focus had now switched to beating Spain and sealing Italy's first European Championship since 1968.
"This was a stepping stone and now we have the final peak to conquer," he added. "We believed in this dream from the start to the 95th and now we want to lift that trophy."

Thanks so much for the info. I'll be sure to check out the inside. I picked it up the other day, and it shoots as if it's right out of the box. I think the guy ran one hopper through it before he put it back in the box. I'm just sad that after 39 years, I'm just now getting into paintball. Wish I'd gotten into it a long time ago. Having a blast with it, and thanks again.

The main difference between a Custom Pro & Custom Pro Platinum is that the Platinum series has a split receiver on the left side. This makes disassembly quick & easy. Your marker was probably built in late 07 or early 08. You can open it up & on the inside there will be a date stamp in the molded on the receiver with a month & year. It most likely would have been built with in a month after that date.

Does anyone know if there is a difference between the Custom Pro and a Custom Pro Platinum? I'm assuming that there is I just didn't know right off the top of my head. Also, how can you tell when a gun is made? I'm looking at a Custom Pro(camo) that's been used one time and then the guy lost interest in the game. He's selling it for $90 bucks w/ a 20 ounce tank, hopper ,and some other extras. Good deal in my opinion. It has the serial # of 045478. He said he bought it back in 07 or 08 and I didn't know if there was a way to tell by that number or not. Thanks for any help.

WOW!! I'm stunned. You look absolutely amazing. You could seriously enter a Fit & Figure competition. All your hard work has really paid off. Also....thanks for all your inspiring and encouraging posts over the last several months. You are a true champion. Set some new goals and continue your fitness journey.
fit4life "The dream must be bigger than the pain"
Thank you all for the kind words. It feels good when others notice the hard work & dedication that goes into getting "there."
fit4life: I will always have goals to work toward now. I am running my first 5K with my sister next month, and already registered for another one in Feb., so I can beat my time (whatever it ends up being on my first one). I am also doing a high volume weight training program now, and will start another BFL challenge on Dec. 27th. Thank YOU for your dedication to this way of life and sharing your insight along the way.
I totally feel like I need to pay it forward to anyone who needs motivation, encouragement or a plain ole' kick in the behind!!
I love my BFL family!
"The only person you should try to be better than, is the person you were yesterday!"
EXCUSE ME!!! Where has my email been that you've finished??? I was just thinking of you because I knew you finished around Thanksgiving time. OMG! YOU LOOK AMAZING!!! I told you to hold on, keep going, that you would get there. And you did, and THEN SOME!~ When are you going to join me on the competition wagon? I'm looking toward next spring....late March, into April even..Amazing. Simply amazing. I hope any shred of information I provided helped you succeed! You are a success in itself.
I just found your profile today and am very inspired by your fantastic transformation! We are close in age and it is so nice to see someone else who pushes hard. Your look fantastic and should hold you head up high!!
Mica (akmama)....I just sent you a long e-mail. Thank you so much. Every shred of information you gave me helped me succeed. You finished your challenge when I was in week 5. After seeing your pictures, I went to the store to buy a bikini and vowed to finish, hoping I'd look half as good as you. All the e-mails and information really pushed me through those tough times. YOU are a great friend! I will leave those competitions to you; you were born to compete!! Good luck in the spring. We will stay in touch via e-mail. Keep bulking and keep your eye on the prize!
lorig2727: Thank you so much. Are you currently doing a challenge? If so, how many weeks into it are you? We are only as "old" as we feel, right? I feel much younger than I am, for sure.
Hi BDMOM! Yes I am doing a challenge and I finish on November. 26th. Pretty soon I will have my pictures taken and I'm getting excited. I will post my before-and-after when all is said and done. Age is just a number and I am in the best shape of my life so I guess with age we get better. Thank you for posting your transformation- I found it very motivating.
Lorig2727....best of luck to you on your final week!!! I can't wait to see your final pictures. Make every workout count this week. You are almost there!!
Starting weight 121 @ 20% Body Fat = 97 lbs Lean Body Mass and 24.2 lbs of body fat
Ending weight 109 @ 17.5% = 90 lbs Lean Body Mass and 19 lbs of body fat.
Awesome pictures and great job!
""Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out..." - Robert J. Collier"
Thanks for that, Bryan....I never knew how to figure that out. I will make a note of it in my success journal.
Absolutely wonderful transformation. I was looking for some motivation and this is definitely a motivator. It looks as though you really worked hard and I also enjoy reading your posts. Is this going to be an ongoing program for you? Keep up the good work!
Hi Randy:
Thank you. Yes, this will be ongoing for me. I have taken some time off to do a high volume weight training program, which I finish this week. I will then take a few weeks off, and start an official BFL challenge 2 on December 27th. I really like the structure of a start/end date, and journaling my workout and meals. I plan to do at least 3 challenges per year (not to submit, just to keep me on track). Are you in a current challenge? What week? What are your goals?
Great...Hope the weight training goes well for you. I am over the hump in my fourth week and feelin' like a million dollars. Along with myself I have other family members who have joined in...including our inspiration Peter who is in Afghanistan. His letters to us are totally inspirational and I'll post them after his return. This is the ongoing post that I (we) keep updated...
Again...Great job!
RToons: Thanks for the link. I will read up when I have some more time. Love the opening post though; it looks so powerful, and how neat it is that you are able to do at the same time with Pete, and compare notes...you gotta love technology. I know most of his correspondence is snail mail, unless they get occasional access to computer. It helps to have that inspiration to help get you through the tough days. Because you know any day here is not even close to being as tough as what Peter deals with on a daily basis. Be prepared for it to get tough in the next few weeks, especially with the holidays. I remember my middle weeks being tough. Just remember why you are doing what you are doing and try your best to stay focused. Best of luck to you all.
Just wanted to update: I finished this challenge 7 weeks ago, and felt kinda like a fish out of water without the structure of the plan. I have gained a few pounds over the holidays, but not enough to worry about. I just started challenge 2 on December 27th. For anyone wanting to join me & many others, come join us at:
Awesome!! Keep it up!!

This…this wasn't as good as my previous pork chop experience, and I put the blame entirely on the swine industry. There was one strip of fat, one, on both chops. These were the best of the bunch at the local corporate grocery store's butcher counter.
Ugh… lesson learned. No more buying pork at these places.
Anyways, it's not horrible. Just dry. But the gravy afterward rocked the house.
- 2 10 oz. Pork Loin Chops (1 1/2 inch thick)
- 6 oz of your favorite blue cheese
- 3 oz chopped walnuts
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 large Granny Smith Apples, cored and sliced into eigths
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup Reisling wine
- 1/8 teaspoon allspice
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cardomom (optional)
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 1/2 Tablespoons cold butter, diced
First off, dry your pork loin with a paper towel. Cut a pocket in one side of the chop. Do this by inserting a sharp, thin-bladed knife into the center of the side of the chop and sweeping the tip of the knife back and forth by pivoting the blade at the point where it enters the meat. Set aside chop for a moment.
Crumble the blue cheese and mix with walnuts. Pepper to taste. Combine thoroughly.
Stuff the pork chops with the cheese/walnut mixture until the pork chop is over flowinh. Fasten the chop closed with toothpicks. Sprinkle chops generously with salt and pepper.
In a large skillet, add olive oil and heat over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the chops and sear for about five minutes. Flip and sear the other side for another five minutes. Lower the heat to medium, cover and cook for 10 minutes. Plate and cover with aluminum foil in order to keep warm.
Using the same skillet, turn the heat back up to medium-high. Add the apples and saute until browned on both sides. Pour into the skillet the vinegar and wine. While the liquid is reducing, scrap the bottom of the skillet for the brown fronds left behind by the pork. Stir in the spices (including salt and pepper). Put in the butter, a little at a time, until the liquid is thick and…well…gravy! Remove from heat.
Cover teh chops with apples and gravy and serve! Feel free to top with any remaining cheese and walnuts.

text: Dresden rediscovers time 17.04.2013 "One of the cores of Saxony's history" is how Hartwig Fischer, Director of the Dresden State Art Collections, refers to the Mathematics and Physics Salon which reopened on 14 April 2013. Endowed with twice as much space as before, the eminent scientific history collection presents more than 400 exhibits, including clocks and watches, automata, telescopes, and globes. With its observatory and timekeeping service, it became the highest authority for all time-related matters in the late 18th century and is deemed the cradle of precision watchmaking in Dresden. The Salon has always been of special significance for the venerable watch brand. Here, about 180 years ago, the young Ferdinand A. Lange discovered his passion for horology. His vision – to craft the world's finest watches in Saxony – was born in Dresden. For Lange's CEO Wilhelm Schmid, sponsoring the museum is one way for A. Lange & Söhne to pay tribute to its cultural origins. "I am particularly delighted," Schmid says, "that the historical dimension in the exhibition concept comes to the fore with new showpieces, filling gaps in the timeline from the early periods in Dresden's history to Saxony's present-day precision watchmaking stature." In the extensive timepiece collection, the "42500" from 1902, the most complicated Lange pocket watch ever made, showcases the artistry and artisanship of watchmakers many generations ago. Also, a LANGE 1 from the current collection stands as a symbol for the comeback of a brand that ushered in yet another new era in Saxon precision watchmaking four years after Germany was reunified.

Yeah, having no real penalty for dying really helps encourage exploration. The first time I got killed by an unexpected over-leveled monster, it actually felt odd that there were no consequences. I felt the vague urge to reload my last save purely out of habit. But now I'll happily try to take on some terrifying-looking thing five levels above me, because why not?
