Sweating up new skin cells
It was thought that the body repairs wounds such as bed sores and burns by generating new skin cells from hair follicles or the skin at the edges of the wound, the same way that other animals do.
But Laure Rittie of the University of Michigan Medical School and colleagues have shown that a type of sweat gland not found in animals also plays a role.
The team used a laser to create minor wounds in 31 volunteers. Over the following week, they took skin biopsies of the wound to identify where new skin cells had grown. Before wounding, there were few new cells in the eccrine glands, which help regulate temperature, but four days later, there were plenty.
This suggests that the glands contain a reservoir of adult stem cells that can be recruited to repair wounds (The American Journal of Pathology). Humans have three times more eccrine glands than hair follicles, making them the major contributor to new skin cells.
The finding is "unexpected and against current dogma," said Elaine Fuchs of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute in Maryland.
Yogurt can help hypertension
The yogurt finding is from a study in which researchers followed nearly 2,200 adults for 15 years and assessed their diets periodically with a questionnaire.
Eating at least one 6-ounce serving of yogurt every three days would provide the 2 percent "dose" cited in the study. Yogurt by itself does not lower blood pressure or prevent hypertension, but a diet that includes nutrient-rich foods such as low-fat yogurt instead of less-healthy foods does combat high blood pressure.
The changing hysterectomy
Despite that, hysterectomy rates in the past three decades have dropped from almost 56 per 10,000 women to 33 per 10,000, American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists statistics show, and the surgery itself has been streamlined into minimally invasive procedures that make the operation and recovery easier.
Hysterectomy remains controversial. While many medical experts see good news in pioneering advances and quick recovery times, some of them also say that up to two-thirds of the 600,000 hysterectomies performed each year in this country could be avoided.
Today, alternative treatments often replace surgery,
For younger women, 90 percent of hysterectomies deal not with reproductive cancers but rather with pelvic pain; uterine fibroids, or benign tumors; excessive bleeding; and endometriosis.
For older women, the most common underlying diagnosis is cancer.
Side effects of the surgery can include the early onset of menopause, bladder and bowel problems and loss of sex drive.
Research also shows that hysterectomy can increase a woman's risk of heart disease and lung cancer.

Surgery is a funny thing. They put you to sleep, cut you open, sew you up and hold you hostage.
Just kidding! Charleston hospitals are amazing, but I'm not going to name the one Widdle escaped from last week.
He went in to "have his gallbladder out," which now takes less time than picking up your dry cleaning. For months, Widdle hadn't felt well. He had every test known to man and some man has never heard of. No-one could figure out what ailed him, aside from living with me.
Finally, an answer: Widdle's gallbladder was functioning at 13 percent, and required removal. (I don't know how zero gallbladder is better than 13 percent, but then I'm not a doctor.)
Outpatient surgery was scheduled, and on the coldest day in 40 years, we staggered into the hospital at 5:45 a.m. Everyone, from the lobby volunteer to the surgeon (who looked all of 19) was compassionate and professional.
At 8 a.m. sharp I kissed Widdle — who sported a blue surgical cap and drugged grin — and they wheeled him off to surgery. At 8:32 a.m. the surgeon appeared beside my chair in the lobby. I almost dropped my book.
"All done," he beamed. "He's in recovery. They'll take you back in about 40 minutes."
Given the speed of events so far, I fully expected to be driving home by noon. Little did I know we were entering a time warp.
First, the positives: The surgery was successful. Widdle's room was clean and modern. The staff was thoughtful, cheery and attentive. The only problem: We were there for 15 hours.
At 10 a.m. he had two pain pills. At noon they delivered his lunch, a grilled chicken sandwich that he ate with gusto. Our nurse, a jolly older woman, said, "The doctor has another surgery at 2 p.m. and will probably pop in afterwards."
We're still waiting for that doc to pop.
Meanwhile, friends and family kept calling and texting for progress updates. My replies deteriorated as the day wore on, from "He's fine and the hospital is awesome!" to "He should've been discharged hours ago," to "We're planning a breakout. Who wants to drive?"
By 3 p.m. my phone battery was dead. Widdle was staring at the ceiling and I was making shadow puppets on the wall. At 5 p.m. they brought him dinner, fried fish and chips. As he munched happily, I strolled to the nurse's station and said, "Hey, what are the chances of him getting out of here soon?"
The nurse gave me a totally confused look.
"Wait," I said. "You DO know he's outpatient, right? He's supposed to leave today."
Her eyes grew huge. "I--I can call the doctor," she stammered. "Good idea," I said quietly. I always get quiet before my head explodes.
Then there was a shift change, and it went downhill from there.
Widdle was finally discharged at 8:30 p.m. By then he had repeatedly requested another dose of pain meds, and to have his dressings changed. Guess which one he didn't get? That's right, he was sent home A) With no pain relief since 10 a.m., and B) Too late to fill the prescription at a pharmacy.
A young nurse blushed crimson as she apologized profusely, but no-one could explain why things were fouled up so utterly. As we drove away, Widdle, the most mellow dude on earth, said, "It's sure easier to get into a hospital than out of one."
On the upside, he has only four tiny, cute incisions. And he really did like the fish and chips.

Global Investors Take Fresh Angle in India
Global investors got burned badly in Indian real-estate a few years ago. Now, a handful are trying anew—but with a different strategy.
In the largest commercial real-estate deal in India this year, private-equity firm Blackstone Group BX -0.27 % made an equity investment of $170 million in a portfolio of three office complexes. That followed a $200 million investment a year earlier into a joint venture that operates an office park. In March, Morgan Stanley's MS 0.89 % real-estate investment fund invested $90 million in a joint venture developing a Mumbai apartment complex, the firm's first investment in Indian real estate in four years.
Read More
What is different this time around is the type of investment the firms are making. In the past, private-equity firms, hedge funds and other investors put their money in untested development companies that were building large-scale residential and office complexes for the first time.
Now, they are largely investing in actual properties, rather than companies. Since the buildings are finished or under construction and presold or preleased, the returns are clearer to see.
"Investors are being far more selective and far more disciplined," said Shirish Godbole, India head of Morgan Stanley Real Estate Investing. At the residential complex the firm invested in earlier this year, one third of the homes have been sold already.
The new approach by foreign investors in India real estate reflects a broader trend in many emerging markets recovering from a flight of capital during the global economic crisis. Capital is beginning to return to property deals, but investors have learned from the mistakes they made during the boom years.
"Investors are almost obsessed with due diligence," said David Green-Morgan, head of capital markets research for Jones Lang LaSalle, JLL 2.30 % a real-estate services company. "People want to have a greater line of sight into exactly what they're investing in."
Between 2006 and 2008, private-equity and other investment firms poured nearly $15 billion into Indian real estate, primarily into companies. But many of those investments soured as developers used the money to buy land while failing to finish construction of projects on schedule.
By the time many were completed, India's economy had slowed, and these properties didn't lease or sell as expected. Meanwhile, India's initial public offering market lost its luster, depriving many of the private-equity firms of the exit strategy they had expected.
Often, local partners took advantage of funds by buying them out at steep discounts, said Manish Srivastava, a professor at New York University's Schack Institute of Real Estate, who has worked as a consultant to several of the funds. Other "horror stories" included local partners who "instead of buying the land in the name of the company, took the money and bought the land in their own name," said Mr. Srivastava. He declined to identify his clients but said none of them were victims of abuses.
The largest foreign investments in India real estate included Deutsche Bank AG DB 2.18 % 's $425 million purchase of a stake in Mumbai's Lodha Developers Ltd., which aims to build the world's tallest residential building in the city. Also, D.E. Shaw Group invested $400 million in an affiliate of Delhi developer DLF Ltd. EQDLF 1.13 % in 2007.
The deals have shown mixed results. In February, Lodha Developers announced it would buy back its stake from Deutsche Bank for about $515 million. The return for Deutsche Bank was lower partly because the Indian rupee lost 22% of its value against the U.S. dollar during the period of the investment. Meanwhile, D.E. Shaw was repaid around $500 million by DLF in 2009, according to research firm Venture Intelligence.
So far this year, private-equity and other investment firms have invested $1.1 billion in Indian real estate, compared with $8.2 billion in 2007 and $5.4 billion in 2008, according to Venture Intelligence. Out of about 35 foreign funds that invested in India between 2005 and 2007, only four or five are left, according to Mr. Srivastava.
But the firms that stayed are dusting off their check books. Part of the appeal is that property values have fallen. Top-quality office buildings in Mumbai today are worth about 73% of their value in 2008, according to Jones Lang LaSalle.
Real-estate investor Sam Zell's Equity International began scoping out the India market in 2000 but didn't buy anything until last year, when it purchased SAMHI Hotels Pvt., a developer and owner of hotels. During the boom years, "we were sitting there agape," Mr. Zell said. "The pricing didn't make sense."
Blackstone set up its real-estate unit in India in 2007 but made only one $18 million investment until last year. Blackstone executives say they were cautious about promises some developers were making.
"People thought 100-acre townships could be built in three years," said Tuhin Parikh, managing director of Blackstone's real-estate group in India. "On a risk-return basis, it didn't make sense," he said. Now, he believes prices have come off their highs and expectations are more realistic. "Now, you have developers who've gone through baptism by fire."
Blackstone's investment in October of the portfolio of office buildings in south and west India was appealing because many buildings in two of the three office parks in the portfolio are preleased, assuring an immediate cash flow. "India's real-estate industry has reached early adulthood," Mr. Parikh said.
To be sure, some foreign investors are still buying companies. Equity International's purchase of SAMHI reflects its longtime strategy of buying companies instead of properties, relying on its decades of experience at selecting local partners.
Also, foreign investors in India real estate still must deal with a bureaucracy, currency risk, weak infrastructure and a creaky system of property rights. A deterioration of the global economy could once again make it difficult for investors such as Blackstone to exit their investments.
But investors are structuring deals to give them more protection. For example, Kotak Realty, an India-based fund manager that raises money from both local and foreign investors, co-invests with developers into so-called special-purpose vehicles that fund construction projects. The vehicles pay the fund a debt-like return of 16% to 20% annually, as well as repayment of principal at the end of construction.
Investors "are standing first in the queue to get their money," said S. Sriniwasan, Kotak Realty's chief executive.
Some foreign investors also aren't counting on the IPO market as an exit strategy. Mr. Godbole, of Morgan Stanley, points out that developing homes for sale relies on individual buyers not broad capital-market trends.
"It may take one year, two years, three years, but it sells," he said.

The first two games have now been completed for the Illinois State lacrosse club. Traveling to Memphis, Tennessee to take on two highly talented competitors in the likes of Texas A&M and University of Tennessee. These two games proved to be tough contests for the Birds as these were our first two real games on a full size field and also against two out of conference teams who had already had 6-7 games under their belts.
This was also our spring break trip as we began our week long school hiatus on Friday. These are the type of trips that club lacrosse players live and die for. Hoping into 12 passenger vans, we hit the open road for a 7 and a half hour drive. Arriving in Memphis at around 5 PM we had time to kill before our 8:00 pm game time against Texas A&M. Beautiful weather awaited us when we arrived in Memphis. We came out slow against A&M and their attack picked apart our defense. Set back 7-2 at half time we once again dug ourselves a hole seems to be a reoccurring theme. The Redbirds were able to mount a slight comeback, winning the second half 6 to 5 but falling short in the end 12-8. A&M was able to capitalize on a penalty plagued Illinois State defense. It is hard to win games when you are playing man-down for half the game.
Our second game was not until 1:00 PM the next day but everyone was conked from the car ride and playing a game that it was an early night for the team. We woke up to 60 degree weather which is paradise coming from central Illinois. We got up big against Tennessee after the first half 6-2, but apparently Tennessee was not playing their starters in the first half? That made absolutely no sense but whatever floats their boat. They mounted a comeback when they inserted their starters into the game. It was also a test of a 45 man roster against our meager 28 man roster. They out ran us in the end. I am still very confused as to why a nationally noticed team does not start their starters, from what we were told their starters never start, so doesn't that mean those players are not real starters? I guess they do it different in Tennessee. But if they continue that game plan they will get smoked at nationals. Thank you to Tennessee and Memphis University High school for hosting these games. It was a great experience and great exposure to go out and play these two teams.
If anyone ever gets a chance to travel to Memphis I would highly recommend eating at Central Barbeque right off the Memphis University campus. Too die for pulled pork sandwiches and primo ribs.
Time to relax for spring break and begin to prepare for our next tough opponent in Western Michigan on March 20th. Last year proved to be a very good game with Western Michigan winning by one goal in the final seconds of the game.
If anyone caught the UNC Duke lacrosse game yesterday (March 10th) Billy Bitter is one step below God, that kid is unreal… Go Tar Heels
Until next time, later lax world
One love…

A man who shot his wife in the face Wednesday – before holing up in his Campbell Boulevard home in the Town of Lockport with their 3-year-old daughter, then killing himself – had a violent history of crimes against women.
Morris Tucker, 44, whose body was found in the afternoon following a terrifying three-hour ordeal, had spent seven years in prison after the fatal shooting of a Lockport woman in 1998. He also had been a suspect in the stabbing death of a teenage girl in 1984.
Tucker shot Jenipher Behm Reese, 32, a mother of two young boys, in the head with a small-caliber pistol on Oct. 3, 1998. She was on life support for six days before she died.
The following year, Tucker pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of attempted first-degree assault in the shooting.
In addition, he had been identified as a suspect in the 1984 stabbing death of 13-year-old Michelle Kasperek in Buffalo. The teen was found nearly decapitated near the old Cardinal Dougherty High School.
Tucker submitted to DNA tests while in prison for Reese's shooting.
The results of those DNA tests were not clear Wednesday, but he was never charged in the Black Rock teen's death, according to his former attorney, Joel Daniels. The gruesome case remains unsolved.
Some of the circumstances of what happened Wednesday in a rural portion of Niagara County mirror those earlier cases.
A female driver saw a bleeding woman running out of a house at about 9:45 a.m. in the 5700 block of Campbell, between Hinman Road and Route 31, at the border with Cambria.
The bleeding woman, later identified as Tucker's wife, LeAnne, 40, was taken to Erie County Medical Center, where she was listed in critical condition Thursday morning.
As his wife was transported from the crime scene, two SWAT teams of Niagara County sheriff's deputies, Lockport police and state troopers surrounded the house. A Border Patrol helicopter hovered overhead.
Niagara County Sheriff James R. Voutour told reporters at a command post on Route 31 late Wednesday morning that the shooter was believed to be the woman's husband. He was described as a man in his 40s, heavyset and heavily tattooed.
Voutour added that he believed the gunman could be watching news reports about the incident.
At about 1 p.m., police used a bullhorn to coax the young daughter out of the house. She was able to tell officials some of what had happened.
Police then sent in a remote-controlled robot camera that found the man's body next to a rifle. Authorities said he appeared to have died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Tucker is believed to have killed himself shortly after shooting his wife, Voutour said.
The sheriff acknowledged that meant the couple's daughter was inside the house alone with her dead – or dying – father for three hours before police got her out.
"She probably witnessed something tragic," Voutour said. But, he added, she seemed to be in good spirits and was even smiling after she was taken to safety by officers. "She's doing great," he said.
By happenstance, one of the SWAT members was the girl's pediatrician. He examined the girl, Voutour said, and determined she had not been physically harmed.

Newly-seated state Rep holds town meeting
March 3, 2013
COLUMBIANA — Newly-seated state Rep. Nick Barborak went to the people Saturday, asking what constituents want him and other legislators to focus on in Columbu....
I agree with the gentleman who asked the need for Second Harvest when there are so many people receiving food stamps. There are free school lunches, the backpack program for the kids to be fed on weekends. Not to mention all of the food pantries. Do these parents EVER feed their own kids? How about beefing up the Senior Aide program that provides jobs (they actually WORK for their little bit of money) for senior citizens? These are people in their 70's and 80's, still working so THEY can BUY a decent meal.

It peeves me to see the cards used at the most expensive stores because these folks won't shop at the food stores that save them money. We have all seen them hit all the top shelf meats while we eat hamburger. The freeloaders have now exceeded the productive people now so look for more free stuff until the bill to the government comes due, and the ink and paper to print our worthless money has to be paid for with gold or worse yet blood. We are broke people.

Homicidal for the Holidays Production (updated)
The Penn State Shenango Drama Club is pleased to announce its upcoming production of Homicidal for the Holidays, an original comedy by local playwright and former Penn State Shenango student, Anthony Elliott. Elliott's play combines comedy and murder mystery around a Christmas theme.
This wonderful mash-up of genres and Christmas stories will be presented in the Penn State Shenango Auditorium, 147 Shenango Avenue, on December 6 and 7 at 7:30 p.m. and on December 8 at 2:30 p.m. Admission is $7 for adults, $5 for students and seniors, and $3 for children 5 and under. Children 12 and under must be accompanied by an adult.
The production is also a fundraiser for the Community Food Warehouse of Mercer County. All proceeds from the Drama Club's Basket Raffle and 50/50 drawing will be donated to the Community Food Warehouse, which will be facing increased demand due to recent cutbacks in the federal SNAP program. Items to be raffled are as varied as a DVD player, piano lessons, a massage therapy session, seasonal decorations, and a variety of snack and toiletry items suitable for gifting.
Elliott drew inspiration from a number of holiday sources, including classic Christmas tales and movies such as It's a Wonderful Life, The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, and A Christmas Story. Homicidal for the Holidays incorporates several songs into the mix, although not enough for this to be considered a musical. As a fan of murder mysteries, Elliott also drew on that genre to create the sometimes sentimental, sometimes hard-boiled, and often wacky show.
Homicidal for the Holidays features seasoned Penn State Shenango actors plus a number of newcomers to the stage. Returning to the stage is crowd-favorite Elliott, taking a turn this time as a guest at the Christmas costume party where the events unfold. Other costumed partygoers and assorted characters returning to the Penn State Shenango stage are his brother Jacob Elliott, plus Nick Taylor, Miranda Bizzarri, Khyana Johnson, Kyle Davis, Alex Marosy, and Amber Edeburn. Newcomers to the stage include Peggy Murphy, Kendra Newton, Alessia Scoccia, and Christopher Sheffield. Elizabeth Howe, who plays oboe with the Greenville (PA) Symphony and teaches piano, will accompany the cast on the songs.
According to director Jeanne Zingale, theatre and communications instructor at Penn State Shenango, "Homicidal for the Holidays exults in a sense of fun, bringing together partygoers dressed as Santa and Mrs. Claus, Rudolph, an elf, a Christmas tree, Christ, and Satan. Add to that mix a detective who must figure out who the murderer is, and you have the ingredients for a show that is full of surprises and lots of laughs."
Anthony Elliott is excited to watch his vision come together, and he hopes to continue to combine writing and acting for some time to come. Eventually, like many actors, he would also like to try his hand at directing.
For more information about the show, contact the Penn State Shenango Office of Student Affairs at 724-983-2836.

Blood Management
Blood Management
Are you scheduled for surgery? If so, you may be concerned about the need to replace blood lost during surgery. The goal is to maintain the body's normal levels of blood. Blood management is a way to plan ahead to achieve this goal. Your healthcare provider can tell you more about the types of blood donations and, if needed, ways to build up your blood. Be sure to talk to your healthcare provider about the risks and complications of the different blood management methods described below.
Getting Ready for Surgery
Getting ready for surgery may require some preparation. Adequate time and planning provide more blood management options. Blood tests are done to check your blood levels and whether or not you are anemic. If you are banking your own blood, you need to be in good health and without medical problems. There are also certain weight requirements. You may need to sign a consent form that provides information about transfusions and blood options. Also, be sure to tell your healthcare provider if you are taking medications of any kind.
Autologous Blood Transfusion
You may be able to donate and bank your own blood before surgery for later transfusion. This is called autologous blood donation. Your banked blood is replaced during or after surgery as needed. Autologous donations require advance planning. The time depends on the amount of blood needed. Another option for autologous blood transfusion is to save blood that is lost during surgery. This blood is then returned to your body during or after surgery, if needed. Autologous blood is the safest blood you can receive. The risks of getting a disease or an allergic reaction are very low. In some cases, though, you may also receive donor blood if you were unable to donate enough blood before surgery.
Allogeneic Blood Transfusion
If you are not able to donate for yourself, you may receive blood donated by another person (a blood bank donor). This is called allogeneic blood donation. This type of blood is screened for disease. And it is ready to use right away. Relatives and friends with your blood type can also donate blood for your use. This is called a designated (or directed) donor. Time is still needed to screen the blood for disease. Know that bank blood is considered safe.
Epoetin Alfa
If you have a medical condition such as anemia (low red blood cell count), you may not be able to donate your own blood. If you are scheduled for elective, noncardiac, nonvascular surgery, another option for blood management includes injections of a drug called epoetin alfa (erythropoietin). This drug helps increase the amount of red blood cells in the blood. It also reduces the need for allogeneic blood transfusion. Epoetin alfa is given in weekly doses at a healthcare provider's office.
Sources of Iron
If you are donating your own blood or if you are anemic, you may need extra iron. An iron supplement may be prescribed. Take it with vitamin C for better absorption. Eating foods that contain iron may also benefit you. Iron-rich foods include red meat, beans, nuts, and raisins.

The Stetson men's basketball team begins the back half of Atlantic Sun Conference play on Friday, playing in the CSS/A-Sun Game of the Week at Florida Gulf Coast. The Hatters are scheduled to challenge the Eagles at 7:00 p.m. on Comcast Sports Southeast (CSS) and ESPN3.
Even though Stetson (6-15, 4-5) is coming off of a loss at Mercer on Jan. 25, the Hatters have still won three out of their last four games, including a road victory over Kennesaw State on Jan. 23. Senior Willie Green has led Stetson in scoring in each of the last four contests, including back-to-back 24-point outings.
Defending A-Sun Champion FGCU (13-9, 7-2) finished the first half of league play in second place, just one game back of league-leading Mercer. The Eagles are coming off of a split at Mercer and Kennesaw State, but are a staggering 8-1 in the friendly confines of Alico Arena.
Back on Jan. 5 Stetson and FGCU met for the first time since the Eagles knocked the Hatters out of the A-Sun Tournament in the semifinals last season. After hanging with FGCU for 35 minutes, the Eagles went on a late run to finish with a 68-55 victory at the Edmunds Center.
Winning the last two meetings between the squads, FGCU now leads the all-time series 8-6 over Stetson. The Eagles hold a 4-2 advantage in Fort Myers.
Friday night's game can be watched live on Comcast Sports Southeast (CSS) or ESPN3, and on tape delay (9:00 p.m.) on Bright House Sports Network with Matt Stewart and Sonny Smith on the call.
Fans can also tune into WSBB AM1230, WTJV AM1490, or online at MyAM1230.com to listen live to the Hatters Radio Network with Robbie Aaron on the call. Live Stats, the @StetsonMBB Twitter feed, and Hat-Alerts are also available for in-game updates.
Note: ESPN3 and WatchESPN is available to fans who receive ESPN's linear networks as part of their video subscription from Time Warner Cable, Bright House Networks, Verizon FiOS TV, Comcast Xfinity TV or Midcontinent Communications, Cablevision or Cox Communications. The app is available free to download for Android devices from the Google Play store and Amazon Appstore and for Apple devices from the App Store, as well as online via WatchESPN.com.

CRYSTAL BAY, Nev. - Can it all just be an elaborate and effective pray-for-snow party?
The white stuff fell at the conclusion of 2012's inaugural Snowlive and - for the first time in weeks - Tahoe experienced a mild snowstorm as the second annual four-day music festival began at the Crystal Bay Casino.
With a musical lineup this impressive the snow gods are surely listening and dancing atop the clouds.
The multitalented trio Soulive - Eric Krasno and Alan and Neal Evans - is accompanied this week by the Shady Horns from the band Lettuce.
Each night has a different theme with surprise guest appearances. Snowlive opened Wednesday with Stax Records and Soul tribute with Booker T. Jones and Niki J. Crawford. Thursday is Rock Night with Robert Randolph, the Slide Brothers and trombone player Big Sam Williams. Friday salutes New Orleans with George Porter Jr., Papa Mali and Williams. Saturday's finale has Nicki Bluhm, Porter, Mali, Williams and a surprise guest.
"We have the horns this time so we'll have a lot of options," Soulive guitarist Krasno said. "We have a lot of songs that are going in the pot for different guests. We just need to figure out the spacing and figure out what's going to go where. We write a set list but we let it change if it needs to. We try to feed off the vibe of the crowd."
Alan Evans, Soulive's drummer and band leader, revealed how his musical style changes from night to night.
"I am going to lay on you the big secret: It doesn't," he said. "When I was younger, there was a lot of effort trying to learn these different styles. ... As I have gotten older, I realized that's my voice on the drums. I play other instruments, but on the drums, this is my sound."
Music promoter, co-founder of the Squaw Valley Wanderlust festival and the brother of Eric Krasno, Jeff Krasno calls the versatile Soulive "modern-day Funk Brothers," referring to the Motown studio band in Detroit.
"We find a way to meld our sound into whatever we are doing," Eric Krasno said. "It's funny, over the years we've let those things seep into our music anyway. It's one big melting pot."
The Evans brothers played in a band called Moon Boot Lover in the mid-1990s when they shared some show bills with Krasno's band Lettuce. Alan Evans went on to play with the Greyboy Allstars but stayed in touch with Krasno. In the late 1990s Soulive was formed.
"They called me and said they had (a studio) in Woodstock, N.Y.," Krasno said. "On the first day together we made an album called "Get Down," an EP. We just hit the road and that was that."
As a teenager, Krasno was a fan of Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin. His first instrument was bass, and his favorite players were jazz's Paul Jackson and the Funk Brothers James Jamerson, perhaps the most-listened to but unknown artist ever. Motown only began to credit session players on its records in 1971 when it moved to Los Angeles.
As he learned guitar, Krasno said he studied the bright and funky sounds of Grant Green, Melvin Sparks, George Benson and Wes Montgomery.
Funk is distinguished by a back beat, a rhythm and syncopation," Krasno said.
"Funk is all about the drums and the percussion: everybody in the band is playing a percussive part," he said. "It's like West African drumming where each drummer has a part of the bed of the rhythm, all finding little syncopations that fit within each other. The main objective is to make everyone dance so each of those parts is culminating together and it creates this infectious rhythm. That's the funk."
Snowlive is Soulive's a West Coast version of a 10-day event, Bowlive, annually held since 2010 at the Brooklyn Bowl. Coincidentally, the Crystal Bay Casino's Crown Room used to be a bowling alley.
At last year's Snowlive debut attended by 2,400, Soulive played reggae with Matisyahu, rock with Luther Dickinson and Karl Denson and New Orleans with Porter and Anders Osborne. The surprise artist at the Saturday finale was Ivan Neville.
Eric and Jeff Krasno are from the East Coast but as children visited their grandfather who lived in Truckee. The brothers' appreciation for the Lake Tahoe area led to the annual Snowlive and Wanderlust festivals.

Alexander Smirnov acting together with Yuko Kavaguti, fell on a jump, was traumatized and couldn't leave ice independently
that Sascha has a clinical rupture of own ligament of a patella. After will make MRT (magnetic and resonant tomography) about injury of other ligaments, doctors will decide on operation volume.

I know they were probably going to retire this year anyway, but it would be a real shame if their career ended like this. Like, I was gutted when the Kerrs retired a couple of years ago because of Sinead's shoulder, especially as they were starting to become regular podium contenders.
But this would be extra cruel, as it is an Olympic year, and the Olympics are in Alexander's home country. And, they were still an outside chance for the podium.
Just so that you know, because you used the direct link for the image, you don't have to sign in to vKontakte to view it. I just tried the link without signing in first (I do have an account), and it worked fine.
That doesn't look very good, especially since he had to be helped of the ice. If he ends up having an operation, it would be very tough to be back and fully fit for Russian nationals to make the european an olympic squad.
I really want to see them skate well and hopefully podium in Sochi. I am still disappointed that their Clare de Lune and February programmes did not get them on the worlds podium (mostly due to errors they made themselves).
I really would like to see Yuko get an olmypic medal.
If they won't make the team, who? S/K?
Terrible day for K/S.
Poor Yuko, they could have been 3rd in 2010. No chance in 2014 at all the way things are going but I still want to see them.
Oh, that's AWFUL! It's terrible for any year, but especially dire for the Olympic year. I feel bad for them, and I also feel sad for Moskvina. Remember that she's retiring, too. I hope he heals quickly, but that sounds like a slim chance at this point.
this is so sad. Not to be rude but I don't think anyone should be thinking who is replacing who or whatever but it is so natural. so many thoughts are going through my mind - this team was going to retire now..i hope they come back and manage a miracle or come back - i had hoped they might get a world title at one point. this is not the way to go out. . It looks just dreadful and I wanted this team to skate the best the could; they are the forgotten team it seems like. yet I do understand people worry about Smirnov and at the same time this opens the door more or makes it easier for pang and tong, the Canadians, italians and other russians etc. its horrible how an injury changes everything. Here's hoping for real healing and fast.
I just feel so bad for this team. They are like the forgotten ones and so close. Once so much hope I hope they come back and win a bronze or come back in 2015 and win a world title with a special performance - but it looked so bad Poor Smirnov and Kavaguti. They will watch from the sidelines most likely If they can stomach it. I am getting a bad feeling other than dance with Davis and white this is will be an oly game where dominant quad team or skater won't win - SS, Kostner or Kim if she is injured and Chan or Dai. sometimes it is all about timing had the olympics been two years ago kostner or asada would be gold, ss gold in pairs d and w or v and m in dance and chan or even dai now I think Javier or one of the young Japaniese will win but that's life I guess. I have nothing againste ie Fernandez it is just that it seems a bit of lucky timing that they are on the rise. oh well ...
What a tough break for them, and Tamara! May he have a complete recovery!
Oh my what terrible news. K/S have been through so many injuries in their career. What a shame
that they may not be able to skate in Sochi.
This is such sad news. The two of them have soldiered on for many years. Yuko especially has made many sacrifices in her long career, moving from her original home in Japan to places all over the world to pursue her dream and love of skating. As what may be the final world class team that Tamara Moskvina coaches at this level, it brings additional levels of sadness.
The word "rupture" does not sound promising from a prognosis standpoint. It ruptures my heart to see this happen to any athlete, but especially at this time this season. My heart goes out to them and their entire support team.
The report says he will undergo a surgery, with the extent of the surgery yet unknown. But any kind of surgery on the knee requires long rehabilitation. Olympics seems out of the question, I'm afraid.
If it's not career ending, what would ensue for the team, especially for Smirnov? Will he find a new partner and resume a competitive career? He's not young, but not too old for pairs skating.

When a female simultaneously gives two hands jobs and a blowjob at the same time. The up and down motion she has to perform while stroking one cock with each hand and giving a blowjob to the third cock replicates the flight of 747 aircraft.
That chick at the bachelor party was crazy, she was doing 747's all night.
Carrying a small girl facing down throughout your house having sex with her in as many rooms as possible while she sticks her arms straight out to the sides and makes an airplane noise.

As the title points out, the Kate Plus 8 specials will focus on her life as a single mother and costar the young Gosselin brood, despite the series of well-publicized clashes between Kate and her ex, Jon, over custody of the children.
In 12 episodes due to begin airing this summer, Twist of Kate will charter new territory, with Gosselin responding to fan letters from those inspired by her story as a means to profile women in their own challenging situations, reports USA Today.
"I look at it as a loose concept," Gosselin tells the paper, which notes that the reality TV star – who's also been a guest host on The View – never considered dating or talk shows. "I want to be out there learning from others, helping to provide insight whenever I can, though I don't consider myself an expert on anything."
As for her own challenges on DWTS" (and elsewhere, for that matter): "The fact that people really support me and want the kids and I to do well ... is flattering," she says. "I never understood the importance of fans until we struggled and went through tough times."

Performance, Interfacial Properties and Applications of Printed Organic Diodes
Lilja, Kaisa
Publication type: Doctoral dissertation
Issue date: 2011-12-02

Organic semiconductor materials offer the intriguing possibility to fabricate diodes, transistors and circuits on flexible substrates using cost-effective mass printing processes. However, the fabrication of fully printed devices is challenging due to the properties of the organic materials and limitations set by the manufacturing processes. The published research in the field of organic electronics mainly concentrates on traditional fabrication methods such as photolithography and vacuum processing. With printing processes, it could be possible to manufacture relatively simple, high-volume products on a continuous production line. Diodes are basic electronic components that are commonly used as switches and in rectifier circuits. Several groups have fabricated circuits based on organic diodes, but there are only a few reports on printed devices. For printed organic rectifying diodes, the published results usually exhibit relatively high leakage currents and/or poor stability in ambient atmosphere. The work done for this thesis concentrated on the fabrication, properties and applications of air stable, roll-to-roll processable organic diodes on a flexible polyester substrate. The diode properties were examined using electrical characterization, atomic force microscopy, impedance spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The data showed that a thin insulating interfacial layer of Cu2O and organic material at the rectifying contact reduces the diode reverse current up to 2 orders of magnitude without having a notable effect on the forward current. The high rectification ratio enabled the diodes to be used in a rectifier circuit, where rectification up to 10 MHz was observed. Furthermore, the diodes delivered output DC voltages of 10.4 V at 13.56 MHz from 10 V zero-to-peak AC input voltage in a printed charge pump circuit. In addition, an active-matrix driving circuit employing printed diodes with an electrophoretic front plane material and a contrast ratio of 4:1 was demonstrated. The thesis discusses several aspects on how to improve the properties of the diodes. Future research should concentrate on examining the possibility to fabricate the interfacial layer, fabricating devices with printable semiconductors that exhibit higher charge carrier mobilities and examining the restrictions brought about by the printing process. The results of this thesis open up a path for further research in the area of printed organic rectifying diodes.

The disorder instead is diagnosed via a checklist of troublesome behaviors, including impulsivity, daydreaming and forgetfulness. What makes the diagnosis particularly difficult, Hinshaw said, is that those behaviors all fall within the normal range of human behavior. People with ADHD are simply farther out on the spectrum, and, often, enough so as to wind up in constant trouble. In addition, symptoms typical of ADHD can also stem from other illnesses or injuries. Swanson said scientists are probably years away from a biological test for the disorder, though the new study is a step in that direction.

The year 2012 was good for Kim Kardashian. But, oh baby, is she ready for 2013!
"It's been so exciting," she told PEOPLE of the whirlwind of emotions she's felt since finding out she was pregnant. "We're very, very happy."
With just a hint of a baby bump showing under her form fitting black Julien Macdonald dress, the reality star rang in the new year in Las Vegas with the man she's spent 2012 with: Beau and baby daddy Kanye West.
"I wish I could share a drink with you all, but I can't for a little while," she told the crowd at Mirage's 1 OAK just before leading a countdown to 2013.
With the crowd cheering and confetti flying as the clock struck midnight, Kardashian stood on an elevated banquet adjacent to the deejay booth and passionately kissed West. And for the next 25 minutes, the deejay played nothing but West's songs – much to the delight of his pregnant girlfriend, who smiled and sang along.
As the night continued, the duo rarely left each other's side, with Kardashian dancing behind West while her party sipped Grey Goose cocktails. Kardashian stuck to water as the Grammy award-winning rapper occasionally rubbed her belly.
Her VIP table littered with party hats, streamers and black and gold balloons, Kardashian appeared happy throughout the night, kissing West and chatting with friends and family in attendance, including mom Kris Jenner, longtime friend Brittny Gastineau and Lance Bass.
Now that the new year has begun, Kardashian is working on being healthy for her unborn child.
"I've felt good. I've felt no morning sickness but it isn't the easiest," she said. "People always say pregnancy is so easy and fun. It's definitely an adjustment; It's learning about your body, but I've felt really good."
While the announcement of Kardashian's pregnancy came as a surprise to a lot of people, she doesn't want to be surprised when it comes the sex of the baby.
She said, "Of course I do want to know!"

1. Solve the run defense riddle. It's been Murphy's law for the Bills' run defense this season. Bad tackling. Poor positioning (as the players say, not being "gap sound"). Being overly aggressive. Those ingredients have cooked up a ranking that's dead last in the NFL, both in yards per game (173.5) and yards per rush (5.8). "You cannot get out of the gap, do not make the play, leave a hole and then the great backs find that hole," Bills defensive end Mario Williams said. "We have to be fundamentally sound with our gap responsibility." Titans running back Chris Johnson, below, is not the back he once was, with just two runs of 15 yards or longer this season. But he's shown flashes, and the Bills can't let him get right today.
2. Complete a deep one. Ryan Fitzpatrick has had a miserable time completing deep passes. In fact, he's got just one completion all season on a pass that's traveled 30 yards or more in the air, a 35-yard completion to Brad Smith in garbage time against New England that traveled 31 yards in the air. Fitzpatrick's got a good chance to make some plays in the deep passing game today. Tennessee has given up 16 pass plays that have gone for 23 yards or more, including four for touchdowns. Last week against Pittsburgh, Steelers wide receiver Mike Wallace got behind the defense for an 82-yard touchdown reception. Overall, the Titans have given up 1,754 passing yards, third most in the NFL.
3. But don't stop running. The Bills' best chance of success comes when they run the ball. That's not a bad strategy with Fred Jackson and C.J. Spiller on the roster. Buffalo has run the ball on 47.4 percent of its 363 offensive plays this season, throwing the ball (or attempting to) on the other 52.6 percent. In their three wins, however, those numbers are reversed: In 193 plays, the Bills have run 103 times (53.4 percent) and passed 90 times (46.6 percent). The Titans rank 24th in the league against the rush, giving up 129.5 yards per game, and like the Bills have missed too many tackles. The Bills should be able to take advantage of that with the elusiveness of their backs, especially Spiller. He's averaging a ridiculous 7.6 yards per carry and should see at least 20 touches today.
4. Get the ball to Scott Chandler. The Titans have given up seven touchdowns to opposing tight ends this season. Scott Chandler has four touchdown catches, which is tied for second among tight ends in the NFL. Sounds like a good match for the Bills. Titans safety Michael Griffin has been suspect in coverage all season — the website Profootballfocus.com, which grades every player on every snap — has given him a rating of -15.1, the lowest of 75 graded safeties. Chandler has been targeted 32 times this season, and has made 17 receptions. He's coming off a game with just three targets, however, a number that should go up today.
5. Keep up with the thievery. Thanks to Jairus Byrd, the Bills recorded two important takeaways last week. The Titans have been extra accommodating in regards to that, especially on the road this season. In three road games, all losses, Tennessee has lost six turnovers. The Titans have been outscored by a whopping 106-31 in those three road games. An early turnover created by the Bills' defense should get the Ralph Wilson Stadium crowd fired up, and the Titans sufficiently rattled.
Outlook: The Titans are in full-on rebuilding mode. The Bills fancy themselves playoff contenders. There are no excuses for them today. This is a game against a woeful road team that Buffalo should win easily. Prediction: Bills 30, Titans 17.

Running back injuries shake up fantasy drafts
Ryan Mathews aims to look tough in this Twitter photo as he flexes his bicep and flashes his arm tattoo, but he got injured again in the first preseason game for the San Diego Chargers, shaking things up in the top 5 in many drafts.
Fantasy guru Evan Silva addresses this in one of his ongoing drafts where Mathews was the overall #2 pick before news broke of his injury. Now you grab him later as a value pick as he should be back by week 2-4.
Another injury involves Trent Richardson, who went #17 in this draft. It's not clear whether this pick was made before or after his latest injury news. Richardson, however, is expected to be back in week one. He'll certainly slip a bit in many leagues, but he has looked great in camp and should get a ton of carries in the Browns offense this year.

When Venus Williams finally won a game, a full five deep into her lopsided semifinal match with younger sister Serena Williams, the big crowd around Billie Jean King Court exhaled in supportive roar. Also a gasp for drama, it was loud enough to shake the Avocados From Mexico van parked aside the stadium and full of free guacamole samples.
Alas, no help.
No pity necessary.
The sibling rivalry fizzled Saturday at the Family Circle Cup, but it's been a wonderful Williams week: The women, the movie, the legend.
Sizzling Serena with a 6-1, 6-2 semifinal victory is in prime condition and a win over Jelena Jankovic away from her second straight Family Circle Cup title. That would be a first since the tournament moved to Charleston in 2001.
Venus vaulted to something resembling contender form. It's just that she had to bounce back from injury over hill, dale, puddles and two matches on Friday to reach the semifinals.
"She's had a great week," top seeded Serena said. "I feel like, honestly, if she hadn't had to play so many matches, it would have been a much tougher match. … That's positive-looking for her, and her next tournament can be really more positive for that."
Venus rising is always a good thing for tennis, which needs sustained star power even more than fans need free guac.
The Williams family version was on almost constant display here for a historic 28 hours.
Consider that from 11 a.m. Friday through the semifinal match Saturday, each Williams sister played on Billie Jean King Court three times.
Friday: Quadrupleheader forced by Thursday's rain featuring Venus, Serena, Venus and Serena.
Saturday: Understandably, Venus wasn't quite herself.
Better takeaway
Of course, the No. 1-ranked player in the world had something to do with that. Serena defeated Maria Sharapova in three sets in the Sony Open final last week at Miami and looked every bit the Family Circle Cup favorite Saturday.
"Serena is playing extremely well," Venus said, "and it's great to see her at No. 1 and just fulfilling every dream."
The buildup was fun.
Among active players, Serena and Venus rank 1-2, respectively, in WTA Tour career singles titles (48, 44). Sharapova is a distant third, at 28.
"Venus and Serena" is a Magnolia Films documentary that made its debut on iTunes this week, and it hits the big screen in May.
It lasts less than 100 minutes.
Saturday's live production went 54 minutes and wasn't quite as gripping.
The takeaway is better.
'Interesting' final
Serena has a 5-4 career edge over Jankovic, the 2007 Family Circle Cup champion.
"She doesn't miss," Serena said. "She gets a lot of balls back and likes to go down the line. I'll be ready for her. She's been playing well in the past month; she's been really consistent. So I'll have my work cut out for me. It'll be interesting."
Venus, ranked No. 24, withdrew from the Sony Open in Miami last month with a sore back, and has endured other injuries and illness over the last few years.
"It was a really great week for me," Venus said. "This is some of the best I've felt in a very long time. So, for me, it's something to build on."
Venus appreciated the good tennis enthusiasts of Daniel Island and their efforts to rally her back into the Saturday spirit.
"People have been very supportive of me here and they want to see a good match," Venus said. "But also I think they were behind me as well. So that felt really nice.
"And hopefully Serena and I will play against each other again here."
Now there's a winning point.

Attica inmate isn't victim; he's a cold-blooded killer
In response to the article "Attica, Revisited" published in the Jan. 20 Spotlight section of The News, please be aware that there is a whole other side to this story that should be explored. The victims have a story that should be considered, too.
Matthew Lemon and his two accomplices are far from victims. Let's not forget that this trio made the calculated decision to walk into the People's Clothing Store two days after Christmas, knowing full well that they were going to kill people in that store. Let's also not forget that Lemon is responsible for tying up my father, Sidney, and my uncle, Paul, (along with two other innocent bystanders who thankfully survived the attack) and methodically plunged a knife through them with such vengeance that the tip of the knife was bent.
They not only robbed the store on that fateful day, they robbed our families of our fathers, too. Lemon has had the privilege to see his children grow up, and spend time with his grandchildren and wife. However, his actions have permanently prevented my father and uncle from having the same right.
Lemon stated in the video "Attica: The Bars That Bind Us" that he remembers thinking of his introduction to Attica as "stark," but it is not as stark as Forest Lawn, where my father and uncle are buried. Lemon is not a victim. He is an unrepentant, pathological liar, in addition to being a cold-blooded killer.

Great Purchase

I bought this Circa Master Folio after months of debate. I was using another popular brand and it was difficult for me to make the switch to a whole new system. I am so glad I did. The folio is beautiful and of good quality. I also love the versatility of the planner pages.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

wish there was some variety
By kcampbell
from chicago, il
This is an excellent size and quality leather. I would like some sort of closure on it (similar to the book cloth covers or with the double pen loops) and some variety in color choices. It would also be nice if the metal disks came in the 1.5 in size to coordinate with this.
Another quality purchase
By Love my circa
from Buffalo, NY
Another great product for 1.5 inch disc's. The one and only complaint is that there is nothing to keep it closed, like an elastic band (on cloth circa's) or a snap clasp or something. It's hold's a lot of papers and it would be nice to keep them all in place. Levenger please make the addition!
By Sherry
from Lawrence, KS
I rarely use anything smaller than 1 1/2 in. discs so this Master Folio is perfect! The functionality and leather quality justifies the price, and as all Levenger products, this item ships beautifully. Pure style and class -- exactly what one would expect from Levenger. When available in other colors, I will be the first to order! Kudos!

Comments: Just got these last week and I've worn them three times already. I had been using Easton airs that were at least eight years old and what a difference these shin pads make. I was wearing 15 inches in my old ones and they were slightly big (wear them over the tongue). Went with 14 inches this time around and they fit perfect! Mind you I'm 5' 9'' 198 lbs. These are significantly lighter than my old pads and slimmer as well. The upper strap on the stealths seemed odd at first and took me a few times to adjust it so it didn't pinch. After the minor adjustment the pads fit perfect! These pass also seem to allow better airflow which keeps my legs cooler in the process. Highly recommend these pads!
From: Paul, Hart, MI
Comments: These shinpads have been fantastic for my 14 year old son. His is almost 6' tall and around 160lbs (tall and lean) and these pads have a fairly narrow shape to them and fit my son really well. He's a forward so isn't looking for hugh shot-blocking pads but when he does block a shot, these pads do a great job of soaking up the impact.
From: Andrew, B.C.
Comments: All I can say is WOW! Love the protection these provide. Came from Easton Synergy 400s and what a difference. At first I wasconcerned that they may feel to bulky because they are bigger than my previous pads but after playing them I don't notice them at all.
Blocking shots not that I recommend it don't hurt anymore. Falling down on to the knees doesn't hurt at all like it did with my previous pads. Happy I purchased these, thanks IW!
From: Glenn, Vancouver
Comments: These guards are great, I just got them so I don't know how they wear down but the performance is there. These way half as much as my last guards and they stay put on the leg like I glued em on. The first use was a game that went into overtime and I didn't feel heavy in my legs at all.
