Wasn't this pretty obvious though? I mean Microsoft has been sponsoring COD Champs 2 years in a row now(this being the 2nd one). + it was also revealed on the Ghosts MP reveal that Microsoft had been talking to MLG about events and COD Champs(or something like that). So to me this is actually waht i expected 🙂
No real surprise there, out of curiosity, who is buying it on what? Ps4 here.
Xbox one
Enemy! Haha, only joking, it is nice the amount of support Call of Duty is getting from X1. I'll admit I'll miss that, 😉
Xbox one for whole console gold membership and dedicated servers. Hope there will be a Ghosts bundle at launch.
I'm getting the Xbox One Day One ed. with Ghosts Hardened ed. I think it's the best thing to do if you want to completely enjoy Ghosts, just because the DLC season pass comes with the Hardened edition of the game.
I'll get it on PS4 if it has dedis. Otherwise X1 is the only option.
So you're deciding on a console based on 1 game?
No. I'm saying that would buy Ghosts on PS4 if it has dedicated servers. Otherwise, i would either skip it altogether, or buy an X1 as my CoD/Titanfall/Halo console while the PS4 can be used for everything else as my main console. Never will one game, let alone CoD Ghosts, be a deciding factor for a console.
If someone only plays one game, then it makes sense why thry would make that decision. There also many games that are on both systems and some exclusives that might be more personally intriguing to them. I want to get XBOX One along with my PS4 because I REEALLY want to do GB and play in tournaments. Unfortunately ps players dont get to enjoy tourneys and stuff like on xbox.
If you actully GBd, you would know that GBing is the same on both ps3 and xbox360. MLG circuit only concerns the pros. Like optic, faze, ect. Of course they use 360, & soon xb1 at the actual events because of the contract with Microsoft. Gamebattles is just a website MLG affiliate for amateur gamers who wanna compete in ladders & tourneys. Pc, Nintendo, Microsoft, & sony all have games you can compete on there. Of course xbox has a lil more people on gb than ps3 but statically more people own 360s than ps3s. & trust me, if you didnt know the difference between the MLG pro circut & gb, you shouldn't be getting your hopes up about becoming an MLG pro. I GBd from 08 to 11. Participated in many online ladder seasons & tourneys
I gotta say, I don't think personally I'd be able to let one game influence my decision! But that's your choice to make 😉
Ps4 because it is the better console with better exclusives (apart from titanfall).
Xbox 360 =)
Ain't nothing wrong with old school! XD
Next gen only starts in 2014 =)
its still gonna be good, imm opting for that while saving up
Both! Im made of that Gamestop Worker money. Lol. But I'll mainly play PS4. If you're not from Europe and you're not 12 I expect to play with you!
Hey, I'd be down for that! I'm a little bit envious of your gamestop job, I wouldn't mind working there.
Sometimes it is fun.
I'm English, not European. Does that mean I can play with you? 😉
UK English? Only on Battlefield I'm afraid. My internet isn't that good. Haha
Ahh slow Internet. And of course UK English. How many England's are there? Conspiracy…
Sorry. I don't know why I asked "Uk English?" My bad
English is European……
i've always played cod on playstation… although since i'm buying both consoles at launch, and titanfall is the only game i really want on xbox right now, i decided to buy cod on xbox to hold me over til titanfall comes out.
Xbox one just for the fact online would be better I know for sure but im gonna try ps4 too coz its gonna be good too
Whoa! Shocking news here. I totally expected ghosts to be played on wiiu for MLG *undeniable sarcasm
I'm laughing harder at this than I should.
Does it even matter what they play on? Who is asking them that question? Are they going to base their purchasing decision on what someone else is playing on? If so that's a stupid way to make a purchasing decision.
I'm now buying the X1 because of this announcement. I want to be involved in CoD esports and honestly there are no differences between the 2 consoles.
ya its 100 dollar difference between the two consols and the xbox1 is marketed towards family's versus the ps4 which was completely built for gaming.
Not if they want to enjoy MLG and GB and get into the competitive scene. I am trying to start a team but I'm playing on PS4. I want to get an XBOX One too for exclusives like titanfall and MLG CoD Ghosts.
Really i figured they would play it on the pc with xbox controller,isn't that the only way the xbox one has worked so far?
course its going to be played on the xbox1, they have a deal with microsoft. PS4 will be much better, xbox1 geared toward tv and sports etc.
Xbox one's geared toward everything, just because it has tv stuff and all the other extra gadgets dosent make it less of a console. That's like saying your car is less of a vehicle because it has built in tv's and a satellite system that comes with it, "because that's not the entire focus"
Just deal with it man, PS4 is way better than Xbox 1. Admit it.
Me and a few million other people will be perfectly happy playing on dedicated servers on all of our games while being able to browse the Internet and record with an external pvr. All things your "almighty" ps4 can't do
Ohhhh you have a Ps4 FUCK OFF
Pro Gaming is pc…
Not at all true
Right i forgot you have Aim Assist on console makes it harder eh….
in my opinion they should have leagues for both consoles
all what this means is there is going to be a bunch of tryhard fat asses on xbox one

KITIMAT, British Columbia, July 24 (UPI) -- Aboriginal communities living along the western Canadian coast can reap the benefits of responsible resource development, the Canadian energy minister said.
Canadian Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver met with representatives from the Haisla First Nation during a west coast tour this week. His tour complements a visit to arctic Canadian regions by National Energy Board Chairman Gaetan Caron.
Aboriginal communities and provincial leaders from British Columbia have expressed reservations about plans for more oil and natural gas development in the area. They said they're worried about the potential damage to the west coast's pristine environment.
Oliver said in the port city of Kitimat aboriginal communities stand to benefit from energy development. He said the Canadian government is committed to ensuring no development would take place without environmental assurances.
"The government will make every effort to ensure that aboriginal peoples in Canada have the opportunity to share the benefits of energy resource development in the years ahead, while ensuring that projects are developed in a manner that has the highest regard for safety and the environment," he said in a statement Wednesday.
Western developments could help the Canadian government tap into energy-hungry Asian economies. The Canadian energy sector depends in large part on U.S. markets.

Yeah It seems all of the AV's have issues but I've been using TM for 8+ years with XP to 7 and honestly it's performed well. Before I'd used all the popular brands and MSE the only thing I wouldn't touch with a 10' pole was McAfee and Norton and really still had Norton in the house because the significant other loves her N360. I can't explain why I feel more protected with a paid version of anything but it's weird.....I just do and as TM hasn't screwed up yet I stick with it but always work the best deal I can and several re-up's handle all my machines and sometimes for three years at a pop.
|My System Specs
|29 May 2013
For my friends and family who get infected a lot I recommend putting the Trial version of Malwarebytes on and then if they see no performance difference after 30 days buying it for a year. So far several Typhoid Harry's and Mary's have done this and not gotten infected again. Do you think this might be sufficient in itself? I would recommend a paid AV if I thought something more was needed than this, but so far no.
|My System Specs
|29 May 2013
Yeah I think we all know that the first line of defense is still the wisdom and restraint of the operator. For those a bit ham handed when it comes to security I think MSE and free Malware is like a 80-90% solution. I'm not 100% sure if the added level of perceived security is worth the added costs (TM $69 3 machines 1 year and Malware Bytes for $29.00 lifetime) that's a fare bit of cost for the extra perceived protection. I normally find TM on sale for real cheap and I paid $14.00 for MB lifetime and that helps but still?

MSE is the most ineffective AV scanner around along with McAfee going by all the UK computer magazine tests I've seen over the last couple of years. BitDefender, Kaspersky always do well at the main thing - web protection. The best free AV at present is Avast.

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 198303
fcntl lock doesn't work on local machine when in cluster mode
Last modified: 2010-01-11 22:12:00 EST
Description of problem: fcntl advisory lock doesn't work on the same machine
when in a clustered configuration
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): RHEL 4 U3 & U4
How reproducible: 100%
Steps to Reproduce:
1. In a clustered config, take an fcntl write lock
2. In a second process on the same machine try to take a write lock
3. The second process sees no lock.
Actual results: Second process does not see the lock take on the first
Expected results: Second process should see that a lock is already taken
Additional info: Enclosed test programs.
Created attachment 132204 [details]
First program to run
Created attachment 132205 [details]
Second program to run
First run test_lock then lock_check, both on the same machine of a clustered
configuration (doesn't fail in nolock mode)
In a cluster, on the same node run:
lock_test test-file // test-file is any file on the gfs fs
then on the same node run (before 30 seconds runs out)
lock_check test-file // should say there is 1 lock present
Fix committed to CVS, RHEL4, RHEL4U4 and STABLE branches. F_GETLK was broken, in
that it used to always return zero lock conflicts for local locks. Also, the pid
returned by F_GETLK for the local lock-holding process was bogus.
An advisory has been issued which should help the problem
described in this bug report. This report is therefore being
closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For more information
on the solution and/or where to find the updated files,
please follow the link below. You may reopen this bug report
if the solution does not work for you.

This year, I made jars and jars of mincemeat. I'm rather fond of the stuff, and now my freezer is full of it. Where did I get the raw materials? From the green tomatoes that I grew in my own garden, of course! The intriguing bit is that the garden is not really my own: it's my neighbor's, and I get to grow food there for free.
How Does Yard Sharing Work?
Yard sharing is becoming more and more popular as a way for the landless to garden. While there are community garden spaces, they're really popular and often have long waiting lists. At the same time, acres of land in the suburbs goes unused, sitting under the green of a lawn that someone spends time mowing. How about putting that lawn to work? That's what yard sharing sites like Sharing Backyards do.
This past spring, I went to the local yard sharing site and saw that someone had posted a yard in my neighborhood, just a ten-minute walk away from my house. We connected through the site, and then we met for coffee to see if we'd be a good match. After a year of gardening in a yard share, I have a much better understanding of the process. Here's what I've learned about yard sharing.
Setting up the Boundaries
A yard share is a relationship, and relationships need to have boundaries. At the beginning, you need to clarify how your relationship will work. Who owns the plants? The produce? Who spends money on seeds? When can you access the property? In our case, I bought or sourced the mulch materials and seeds and shared the produce with our yard share partners, who also did some of the watering.
Creating a Work Schedule
Speaking of watering, you'll need some ongoing garden maintenance. I did all of the work of setting up the garden, and I shared the watering with my yard share partners. The way you work is up to you.
Considering Your Investment
How much do you want to put into the yard share? I did place a couple of perennials into the garden, but most of my investment is in annual vegetables. I can save their seeds so that there won't be as much of a cost next year. That way, if my yard share partners ever move, I won't need to dig up my plants!
Hedging your Bets
I'm not really landless: I have a garden, but it is too shady to grow a lot of food. I also have food like sprouts growing inside my house. However, I wanted a place to garden big and garden outdoors, so I looked for a yard share. However, I know that things happen: the owners could move, and the new owners might not want to share with me. I am looking for a second garden, and I'm also focusing on growing my own sprouts and microgreens inside my home.
You can grow good food in just a small space. This book can tell you everything you need to know:
The Benefits of Yard Sharing
Why share someone's garden?
- It grows food for your family. Of course, this is probably the reason you want a garden. When you grow food to eat or preserve, you don't need to buy it from the store. You can even save some of the seeds to grow in your garden next year.
- It uses unused land. I look at all of the big green lawns in our suburban neighborhood, and mentally I turn them all into food gardens. This gives me a chance to actually dig into one of those lawns and use that unused land.
- It allows you to hone your gardening skills. If you're a city dweller, it can be hard to find land where you can try gardening on a larger scale, grow food in quantity, and make and learn from your mistakes. Yard sharing gives you the space to learn.
- It builds community. The folks who own the yard were pleased to have us gardening there. We shared some of the produce and even got to partake in some delicious homemade bread!
- Yard-sharing develops skills and interest in growing food. Those who yard share might have little time to grow food, but they may want to learn how to do it. By involving other families and your children, you help create community knowledge about food gardening.
'Borrowing' a Yard
Sharing someone else's yard really works for my family. While I was nervous at first, after a successful first year, I am looking forward to the 2013 gardening season.
Would you consider a yard share?

Getting the correct support will not only make you more comfortable during physical exertion, but a recent study by the University of Portsmouth found that doing without a decent sports bra could even affect your performance.
Why choose a sports bra?
It's probably the first reason you think of when you consider buying a sports bra - saggy boobs. According to Sportshoes.com, high-energy sports can cause a woman's breasts to move up to ten or more centimetres, causing the primary supporting structures, the Cooper's ligaments, to stretch, no matter what your size.
Hardly surprising that many women find high-impact sports simply too painful without one. But that's not all. Doing without can affect other areas of the body, particularly for women with larger breasts.
And for anyone who has experienced joggers' nipple, caused by friction between boob and T-shirt, a well-fitting sports bra will reduce the risk of suffering this painful condition.
What to choose?
Contrary to popular belief, sports bras with cups provide better support than the crop-top style designs (compression bras). Sportshoes report that research has shown the encapsulation-style bras with cups are better able to prevent vertical and horizontal motion of the breasts during exercise, particularly important during high-impact sports.
However, there are bras that cater for all types of exercise, so if you more into yoga and Pilates than running, you may find the low-impact variety more comfortable. Just make sure you're wearing the right bra for your chosen sport.
Even when you have selected your ideal bra, it is essential to change it regularly. Each washing cycle your bra goes though will damage its all-important elasticity, gradually decreasing its support effectiveness. Generally speaking, you should replace yours every six to ten months.
When that time comes, do get measured. Ideally you should have your breasts measured every six months, as boobs have a tendency to change with even small fluctuations in your weight or hormones. Since an ill-fitting bra is of little use, take the time to get the proper support for your size and shape.

London - Dutch scientists have found a way of turning plant matter into the building blocks of common plastics using a nanotechnology process that offers an alternative to oil-based production.The team from Utrecht University and Dow Chemical Co produced ethylene and propylene - precursors of materials found in everything from CDs to carrier bags and carpets - after developing a new kind of iron catalyst made of nanoparticles.Existing bioplastics, which are made from crops such as corn and sugar, have only limited use as they are not exact substitutes for oil-based products.The new system, by contrast, produces chemicals that are the same as those made in petrochemical works, allowing them to be used in a wide range of industries.This also means they will not be biodegradable, although they will be made from renewable resources.Unwanted by-productResearcher Krijn De Jong and his colleagues envisage using non-food sources of biomass for the new process, such as fast-growing trees or grasses, rather than traditional crops, in order to reduce competition for resources between food and fuel.Plastics made from biomass could, however, be vulnerable to the same criticism that has beset biofuel production.Critics say the production of some biofuels can occupy land that would otherwise be used for agricultural purposes, thus limiting food and water resources for a rapidly rising world population.Some biofuel production could also increase carbon emissions, especially if rainforests are cut down to facilitate production.The research by De Jong and his colleagues, which was published on Thursday in the journal Science, is still at an early stage. It now requires larger-scale testing and pilot projects, so it will not reach the market for several years.Diminishing reserves of fossil fuels and rising greenhouse gas emissions suggest there should be increased demand for bioplastics. But that argument could be disrupted by recent vast finds of shale gas, which now provide a cheap alternative feedstock for ethylene in the US.The Dutch-designed catalysts consist of tiny nanoparticles separated from each other on carbon nanofibres. In laboratory tests, the catalysts proved highly effective at converting biomass-derived synthesis gas - a mix for hydrogen and carbon monoxide - in ethylene and propylene.Importantly, the process worked without producing large amounts of methane, an unwanted by-product of another catalytic process using large iron particles.The team now plan to increase catalyst production by linking with experts from Johnson Matthey, the world's largest supplier of catalytic converters for vehicles.Nanotechnology, which involves designing and manufacturing materials on the scale of one-billionth of a metre, is a rapidly expanding area of materials science with applications in medicine, electronics and coatings.
Oh goody, more plastic to cause pollution of the oceans. Can't we rather turn the plants into food to feed the starving millions?
They stated that they would like to test other biomass instead of crops. In addition, no more methane...as long as there is a need for plastic, there will be plastic. Why not create it more efficiently??
just thinking the staple foods around the world, wheat, maize and rice, are mostly waste biomass. so no need to grow special crops for it. and on the disposal of plastic a canadian teenager last year or the year before made a bio-digester for plastic (i can't remember the details now but if i find a link i'll add it later)
Using plants to make plastics is nothing new. We did this back in 1862. In other words plants were used to make our first plastics. This article seems to be ignoring this.
A good plant to use is the hemp plant aka Marijuana. Henry ford even constructed a car out of hemp plastic and using hemp fuel.
On the plus side it's biodegradable. Why we don't use it? Go ask the oil companies.
did you even read the article??
"Existing bioplastics, which are made from crops such as corn and sugar, have only limited use as they are not exact substitutes for oil-based products.
The new system, by contrast, produces chemicals that are the same as those made in petrochemical works, allowing them to be used in a wide range of industries.
This also means they will not be biodegradable, although they will be made from renewable resources."
I thought they had perfected this with margarine already, which by the way is still banned in some US states.
You would be right.
However I mentioned the hemp plant with a reason. The hemp plastic which was used by Henry Ford was reported to be 10 times stronger then steel. This was due to the Hemp plant having strong fiber, the strongest plant fiber on the planet
As the article points out bioplastic is currently being produce from sugar and corn. This is why their inferior.
In other words this technology is silly. It's not needed. For we can grow hemp. However I recognize why people would do such research. Hemp is highly regulated/illegal due to it's harmless recreational use.

'I'm looking down the barrel ... thinking I'm going to die' - witness
Terrified boxing fans, journalists and hotel guests were all caught up in the shooting terrorat the Regency Hotel.
President of the Boxing Union, Mel Christle, described the moment the chaos unfolded at the Clash of the Clans weigh-in at the Regency Hotel.
He said that he saw the "distorted" face of victim David Byrne, slumped against the reception desk.
One BBC journalist described how he was "staring down the barrel of a gun".
Kevin McAnena, a sports reporter, was one of dozens of people in the Regency Hotel in Drumcondra when gunmen opened fire.
The Radio Foyle reporter said that he froze when the gunmen entered the lobby dressed in garda-like uniforms.
"Most other people had run out and I almost kind of froze. One other guy ran across the lobby and one of the guys with the guns shot him in the lower leg and he went down," he said.
"He was possibly six feet from me. At that point I jumped over the reception desk and got on the ground.
"I started shouting 'don't shoot, don't shoot' because I could hear more gunfire from the other side.
"The gunman leaned over the reception desk and pointed the gun at me.
"I was still shouting 'don't shoot' and he said something I can't recall now and left.
"He was holding the gun down at me…and I'm looking down the barrel of the gun.
"At this point I was thinking I'm going to die. I never knew the meaning of the word 'terrified' until this afternoon."
Mr McAnena said that he then took refuge in an office where he stayed for almost an hour with the receptionist.
"We were too terrified to come out. We worked out that it couldn't be gardai because people were shot so indiscriminately," he said.
A witness inside the room said that a man came in the door and fired three shots into the air and all hell broke lose.
"There were glasses breaking, chairs toppling over. It was pure chaos as people tried to run," he said. "They weren't shooting sporadically - they were picking their targets."
Mel Christle said that the Clash of the Clans weigh-in had concluded when gunfire began.
"There were several shots fired, but not over a dozen," he said. "I saw two individuals - one dressed as a woman but it was a man dressed as a woman - running away from the scene.
"There were two other people at the back and apparently they were dressed as gardai and they were shooting.
"Everyone including quite young children - as young as five - and their relatives were there. What was actually more frightening was the gunfire outside the building. There was a full scale exchange of gunfire outside the room.
"I ran out through the fire escape but you could hear the gun shots ringing outside the hotel.
"The first shots were inside the room but the rest were outside at reception."
Mr Christle said that 100 or so attendees at the event jumped for cover.
"The majority of them lay on the ground when the shooting began," he said. "One person had been shot in his leg at the very back of the hall.
"Then when I was leaving about 20 minutes later, I could see a corpse slumped against the reception desk.
"His face was completely distorted is all I can say about it."
Mr Christle said that because the safety of the public was compromised by the incident, the second boxing promotion last night and the main event tonight were cancelled.
"The perpetrators should be ashamed of themselves - particularly as there were young children involved," he said.

Agusta A109A II, N2NR
The helicopter was on a VFR flight from a private site near Londonderry, Northern Ireland, to Caernarfon Airport in Wales. Radar data showed that the aircraft was established on a direct track for Caernarfon, flying at an altitude of about 1,600 ft. As the helicopter approached Newry it turned onto an easterly heading and climbed to about 2,000 ft. Some 6.5 nm later the helicopter turned onto a southeasterly track towards Caernarfon Airport, followed by small track changes to the left and right. The groundspeed throughout the flight was about 150 kt. Hill walkers close to the accident site heard the helicopter impact the west face of Shanlieve. All three persons onboard were fatally injured in the impact.

text: Mark Chaves looks at trends in diversity, belief, involvement, congregational life, leadership, liberal Protestant decline, and polarization. He draws on two important surveys: the General Social Survey, an ongoing survey of Americans' changing attitudes and behaviors, begun in 1972; and the National Congregations Study, a survey of American religious congregations across the religious spectrum. Chaves finds that American religious life has seen much continuity in recent decades, but also much change. He challenges the popular notion that religion is witnessing a resurgence in the United States--in fact, traditional belief and practice is either stable or declining. Chaves examines why the decline in liberal Protestant denominations has been accompanied by the spread of liberal Protestant attitudes about religious and social tolerance, how confidence in religious institutions has declined more than confidence in secular institutions, and a host of other crucial trends.

This week's scouting report is on Mesquite (TX) West Mesquite wide receiver Eldridge Massington. He's 6'3", 205 lbs. and claims a 4.5 forty. Michigan has a good shot at pulling him in; however, USC is supposed to be his favorite, despite the fact that the Trojans haven't offered yet. Massington looks a little bit like David Terrell to me. Big kid, good leaper, good but not great speed. He's not quite as quick as Terrell, though.
Scouting Report: Eldridge Massington
USC is coming in to look at him today. Based on the numerous conversations I've had with Eldridge, if they offered, I wouldn't be surprised at all if he committed on the spot. This is something Brian Perroni at Rivals tweeted last night as well.
Michigan was his favorite for a while, but he's been getting attention from other bigtime programs lately. He had mentioned USC to me back in February or so, but his coaches had only heard from them once or twice. Now that it's heating up, things are changing and the odds of Eldridge coming to Michigan are shrinking.
Just curious, how would you rank Treadwell, Allen, Stringfellow, Larue, Massington, and anyone else I forgot based on talent?
1. Treadwell
2. Massington
3. Allen
4. Larue
I haven't watched much of Stringfellow yet, so I can't say much about him. I do like all those guys, though. I've said this before, but I'll mention it again: the difference between the guys Hoke is offering and the guys Rodriguez offered is noticeable. Some people have mentioned that I've been more positive in my reviews of players lately, but that's largely a function of whom Hoke is offering. There's not as much to complain about when he's offering elite athletes. That doesn't mean all of them will pan out, but the difference is significant.
Can you expand on the difference (besides the height and dreads vs. no dreads)? Is the difference mainly that the WRs being recruited by Hoke are simply larger and better suited for a pro-style offense (maybe a bit slower initially but larger and with more pass blocking abilities) or is it something further?
I'm obviously not Magnus, but based on his previous writings and what I've seen on tape, they're simply better athletes. We all remember when 4 of the first commits in the 2010 class were Jeremy Jackson, Jerald Robinson, Ricardo Miller, and DJ Williamson, don't we? Aside from Miller, who had a substantial amount of hype at that time, none of those guys really seemed to be elite athletes, or have high ceilings down the road. A majority of the offers that have gone out, thus far, are of a much higher caliber than those types of players. The same is true across various positions
I almost forgot about Miller, since he moved to TE (and now back to WR). You could really see during his senior year at Pioneer that he just didn't have the speed to play wide receiver effectively. I don't think it was quite as obvious when he was an underclassman in Florida, for whatever reason. But he actually looked like he got slower as he matured. And everyone thought "WTF?" when he offered Williamson, who barely lasted a year in the program. Outside of Roy Roundtree, whose effectiveness on the outside is still up in the air, Rodriguez's wide receiver recruiting was atrocious.
Size has a lot to do with it (TWSS). The catching radius for a guy like Martavious Odoms (and I love Odoms, don't get me wrong) is much smaller than a guy like Eldridge Massington. Especially when you have an inaccurate quarterback like Denard Robinson, it's helpful to have a guy like Junior Hemingway (who was recruited by Lloyd Carr) who can go up and get balls that someone like Odoms simply can't. When Rodriguez first came to Michigan, I assumed that he would use guys like Odoms, Gallon, Robinson, etc. on bubble screens, end arounds, and trick plays more often than he did. Instead, he had little guys running routes that big guys could have run just as easily, although the occasional bubble screen was useful.
On top of that, the recruitment of outside receivers was pretty pitiful, in my opinion. A guy like Jeremy Jackson is a not a Michigan-caliber receiver, whether his dad is a coach or not. Jerald Robinson is another guy who doesn't really have the speed to separate, and it's yet to be seen whether he can go up and get the ball or not. Both of those guys were recruited by Rodriguez.
We'll see whether Darboh, Chesson, Dukes, and whoever else we get in 2013 are more competent than Jackson/Robinson. My guess is that they will be.
What is your opinion on slot WR moving forward. It seems like the coaches might want a lot with the offers to Allen and Larue.
I'm guessing we move from our slot ninjas to guys looking more like Breston.
Yeah, I think the slot guys in Michigan's near future will be 6'0" or so, more like Breaston than like Odoms. Then you can play them on the outside a little more easily, too.
To add to Magnus' point: I think a lot of us assumed that Rodriguez would sacrifice size, but gain elite speed in his receiver recruiting. We certainly did get smaller receivers, but not even the slot guys had any great speed. Odoms, Dileo, Gallon, etc, might be nice players, but none of them possess that elusiveness that makes up for their lack of size.
Admittedly he may not be extremely elusive, or at least never showed it, but Martavious Odoms was incredibly fast. You cannot say that he did not have elite speed when he was the only guy on the team to beat Denard in a foot race.
Are any of the WR at least 50-50 for UM chances?
Or is the staff hoping with 4-6 guys all at 33% chance we will likely get at least one of them?
Treadwell is probably the best bet as of right now, but I don't know if he's 50/50.
Our inability to land elite talent at a few of the high need positions (to this point in the recruiting cycle) has been the most frustrating part of recruiting this year; althought frustrating and recruiting are two words that are hard to use in the same sentence these days. We are seemingly rolling up an embarassing amount of talent at certain positions (OL), but we seem to be having trouble in getting elite WR talent to look our way despite the obvious playing time. It may be our current system, but who knows.
Please, please do not take this as a dig on our current recruiting, as I could not be happier with the past two classes. Just what I have found personally frustrating--which is clearly immaterial in the grand scheme of things.
If you look at the receivers we've offered, there are 19 offers out there and only 4 of those guys have committed, including Jaron Dukes to us. They're just not committing that early. [Insert comment about pre-Madonna receivers loving the spotlight.]
On the flip side, we've offered 18 offensive linemen and 14 of them have already committed.
It's true that we haven't convinced wide receivers to commit...but nobody else has, either.
Nowadays, we call them Pre-Lady Gagas.
Pre-Madonna would be old as fuck. And it's prima donna. Not sure if serious.
It was a joke.
I guess Eldridge does sound like an old man's name. Now I get it.
Edit: This guy comes to mind
He wasn't around for the pre-madonna prima donna threads.
The 50-50 guys scare me the most, after some of our recent near misses when it came down to the wire.
Michigan has several offers out to WR, and I know they really want Treadwell, but I do not see them holding a spot for him. Recruiting receivers is a different animal. If they get 2 kids that they like to commit they will take them and move on. Are those of you closer to the situation thinking that Treadwell will have a spot held for him?
Treadwell will commit to UM once there is only one WR spot left. Pure guess, but I see him and his recruitment very similar to LTT. LTT held us ad an early favorite but didn't want to commit as early and wanted to enjoy the process. But that changed once we had commit-a-thon in Feb. I see treadwell playing out the same.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Treadwell pull a Logan Tuley-Tillman, but I also wouldn't be surprised to see Treadwell wait it out and commit elsewhere like Jordan Diamond. Michigan has as good of a shot as anyone, but I don't think he's a shoo-in.
The kid just ran a 10.5 100 meters, that's really good speed.
Sometimes track speed doesn't necessarily translate. And like I said, he has good straight-line speed, but when he changes direction, he doesn't get back up to speed very quickly...which is an issue for a lot of track guys.
has that kind of speed. The video I saw of him posted by Tremendous, he's very elusive and has speed to spare. Awesome acceleration. He reminds me of Reggie Bush and others, in the sense that he has that ability to break one anytime he touches the ball. I think we could really use a player like that. My own opinion.
Agreed on Larue. He could be a big play guy.
If Manningham and Arrington had a mythological beast-child its name would be Massington.
Seems like destiny...
He's pretty much my favorite receiver. He's a Manningham and Arrington mix, bred for his skills in pass catching.
Far too few Napolean D. references on the blog!
I am thinking we don't have a chance for this kid. USC is his dream school. I pray I am wrong.
Per Tremendous, USC just offered Massington. Also Tremendous/Aquaman (less than an hour or so ago) just got a phone call from Massington, explaining what he whether or not he would immediately commit upon getting the USC offer (sparknotes: he won't), and going over some stuff about what other schools interest him, future visits, and an official visit to Michigan.
This is what he says. Actually getting the offer and thinking it over could change things, although he was pretty adamant that he was in no hurry to make a commitment and that he still wants to visit Michigan.
I thought that LSU would also play a factor in Massington's recruitment. Am I thinking of the wrong WR?
The belief is that LSU doesn't plan on extending an offer. If they were to, then yes, they would be a factor too. I have to believe USC is the heavy favorite though and would have been regardless of LSU. I don't think Eldridge necessarily anticipated getting offers from USC and Alabama.
I just read that he received offers from Alabama and USC today. He may not committ on the spot, but I think he is heavily USC.
This kid is too bright to go to Alabama.
Am I wrong in feeling like the coaches haven't exactly pulled out all the stops for Eldridge? It's seemed like Hoke and Co. were cooler on EM than vice versa. At least until now, apparently, since EM got his SC offer.
"Pulling out all the stops" is hard to do in April/May when you don't have official visits or much leverage. What are they supposed to do that's legal to "pull out all the stops"?
Perhaps that's poorly phrased. It's a matter of attention paid by the coaches at this stage, right? And it seems like Massington is not the highest priority for that attention.
To be honest, this is kind of the impression I had gotten myself. Not saying the coaches have been dragging their feet with him necessarily, but I get the vibe that he's not necessarily their most targeted receiver not named Treadwell.
Well, they supposedly want a big guy for the outside (Massington, Treadwell, etc.) and a slot guy (Larue, Allen, etc.). So if Treadwell is their top guy - and he seems to be - then it makes sense that he wouldn't be their biggest desire.
Is Ateman still a Michigan target, or has that moved on? His 247 profile still lists UM as "warm", and he's the same kind of big, quick kid it seems.
Last I heard (about two weeks ago), Michigan was still hard after Ateman.
Atrick Ateman?
Just committed to Oklahoma State University.
With Ateman going to Oklahoma St. and Massington leaning USC our chances of pulling a WR out of Texas are not good. It is really beginning to feel like this class of WRs may boil down to if they can land Treadwell or not. I do not see him committing anytime soon.
With Isaac visiting USC again he seems like he may be almost ready to make his choice, but I think our RB class will be fine with or without him.
There are places to get receivers aside from Texas.
damn captcha
I say he's about 30% right now Michigan, but there's still a lot of time left until next February.
Magnus, I really enjoy your posts. I have had a chance to learn a lot about the process. wouldn't mind seeing you replace Anglique at the news when she does her blog. best regards, wojo

How to handle a popular upheavalJul 29th, 2011 | By Jesse Fox | Category: Israeli summer
The Middle East's dictators have already written their playbook, but what about the region's quasi-democracies?
Middle Eastern dictators have followed remarkably similar paths in responding to the popular protests of the "Arab Spring." So much so that a recent episode of This American Life attempted to codify them into a how-to guide for the Middle Eastern autocrat, detailing their steps one by one.
These included moves like 'shut down the internet' (step 1), 'send in thugs' (step 2), 'blame Al Jazeera' (step 7) and 'organize paid demonstrations in favor of your regime' (step 8).
However, what happens when popular protest breaks out in "the only democracy in the Middle East" – where things like cutting off the internet just won't fly, and where the cost of hiring camel-mounted thugs is prohibitively expensive?
Caught without any such playbook, the protests which began on July 14 have forced our wise and experienced leaders to improvise, essentially making it up as they go along. Here, then, is a roundup of their actions thus far, offered as a free public service to other quasi-democratic governments in the region, who are liable to find themselves in their shoes sooner or later.
Step 1: Co-opt the protest
Cozy up to the demonstrators. Put on a casual shirt, drop by their tent camp and make nice. Tell them you are on their side, that you believe in their cause. Press some flesh and grin toothy grins for the cameras.
Step 2: Conspiracy theorize
When they refuse to go away, cast them as a fringe phenomenon. Call them "radical leftist anarchists." Try to associate them with "enemy" groups, imply that they have violent tendencies. Hint that a left-wing, anti-government conspiracy is paying for their tents. Pin the blame on the usual suspects (left-wing NGOs and upstart political movements).
Step 3: Try paternalism
Tell the protesters you're way ahead of them, that you've spent years thinking about the very same problems they're complaining about now. Publicly invite them to come to Jerusalem to support your (neoliberal) reforms. Smile smugly for the cameras.
Step 4: Call them spoiled
Unleash the hordes of right-wing columnists and spin doctors against the ungrateful citizens. Attempt to paint them as spoiled, lazy children who are looking to get something for nothing. Call them communists. Emphasize the wisdom of the market, use words like "market forces," "macro" and "supply and demand."
Step 5: Fake empathy
Recognize the protesters' distress. Call it "real." Tell the media that you "embrace" and "identify with" them, reassure them that you're only looking out for their best interests. Really. Promise "surprises."
Step 6: Panic
Call frequent late-night meetings with senior ministers, float rumors of an impending cabinet shake-up, castigate ministers in front of the cameras, use macho army metaphors, cancel trips abroad.
Step 7: Bluff
Announce that you are planning to integrate some of the protesters' demands into your neoliberal reforms, then don't. Hope no one notices.
Step 8: Divide and conquer
Agree to meet with one of the protesting factions, but not with the others. Offer them some goodies, but only for them. Tell them it's cause they're special, that they're "the foundation upon which the state is built," or some such nonsense. Hope they take the bait.
Step 9: Make a plan
Call a press conference. Present the exact same neoliberal reforms as before, but repackaged and with minor adjustments. Be sure to emphasize: "there is no magic bullet." Use hand gestures. Project an air of jovial collegiality with cabinet ministers. Use Power Point. Tell the nation that everything's under control, flash smug smile repeatedly. Use selective hearing when responding to journalists' questions.
Step 10: Give cops a raise
Young police officers making the minimum wage might become overly sympathetic to protesters. When no one's looking, give them a hefty raise, while continuing to insist that you can't afford one for the country's doctors – who happen to be on a hunger strike.
Step 11: Play the "responsible adult"
Put a figure to protesters' demands, preferably in the billions. Hint that implementing them would lead to a Greece-style debt crisis or a US-style near-default. Remind the population how successful your macroeconomic policies have been.
Step 12: Appoint a panel
Recruit some of the more socially-minded cabinet ministers and a few well-paid consultants to engage in dialogue with the protesters. Send in Shimon Peres.
Step 13: Give 'em the finger
Ram above-mentioned neoliberal reforms through parliament. Ignore the protesters demonstrating outside, as well as their leaders' characterization of said laws as "cynical and wicked." Look unbearably self-satisfied during the vote.
Step 14: Declare a 180
Tell the head of the panel you appointed that you are willing to change your stripes and repudiate your neoliberal worldview. Release a few trial balloons.
Step 15: Beat the war drums
Wait for a terrorist attack or security-related incident to occur, and then use it to divert attention away from socio-economic issues. Revert back to pre-protest security discourse.
Step 16: Return to business as usual
After the panel you appointed submits its recommendations for policy changes (which, needless to say, will be cosmetic), you can finally get back to the status quo ante. In order to prevent the return of the social-economic discourse to the headlines and op-ed pages, amp up the saber-rattling.
Step 17: Create a decoy
Encourage members of your coalition to propose a diarrhea-like flood of anti-democratic bills. That should divert the attention of the bleeding hearts and the media for the time being. Doesn't hurt to target NGOs' sources of funding either.
Step 18: Wait for next elections

Here is a transcript of Pope Benedict's prayer at Ground Zero earlier today.
It is so easy — a real act of temptation — to assume that the beauty of Pope Benedict's prayer earlier today is captured by and only by — and contained in and only in — idealism, like a rarified vapor that dissipates in the open atmosphere, but, God is the greater, entirety of reality and the prayer is the truth of that.

N24 Awareness Day 2016: Genetics, the new face of N24 and DSPS.23 November 2016 at 05:26 | Posted in Body clock, Circadian rhythm, Clock genes, DSPS, N24 | 4 Comments
I got my genes tested this month, and what I found out puts a new face on my understanding of N24 and DSPD.
The first human genome was sequenced in 2003 and cost 2.7 billion dollars. Over the years researchers have improved their technique and reduced the cost dramatically. Recently Veritas Genetics announced it had reached the goal of the under $1000 genome, offering a full genome sequence to anyone for $999. Still very expensive but quite a drop from 2.7 billion!
Other companies also offer a more limited but still useful form of genomic testing. One of these is 23andMe which offers testing for $99-$199. Rather than plunging into the deep end of whole genome sequencing, I thought I'd go with 23andMe to confirm that I could get useful information with less expense. I am very impressed with what I was able to find out from 23andMe.
The method of 23andMe is based on analysis of what are called single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Most of the human genome is identical from person to person, which is why we are all humans and not horses or banana trees. SNP analysis focuses on variations in the genome of a particular common type.
The genetic code is a sequence of DNA nucleotides which we label with the letters A,T,G or C. So part of the code might read like this: …CTGAATGCAGT… An SNP refers to a situation where one letter of the code differs from person to person. So while one person may have the sequence CTGAATGCAGT another may have the sequence CTGAATTCAGT. Notice the only change is that the letter G in the 7th place has become a T. Typically one SNP will be more common in the population than the other. So, for example 90% of the population may have a G, which would be referred to as the major (more common) allele. The T would be called the minor allele. (Allele is another word for genetic letters.)
So if you sign up for 23andMe you send them a vial of your spit, and 4-6 weeks later they send you a link to their site where they give you information about a selection of your SNPs and what they mean, as well as some other genetic information.
Most of the information you get from 23andMe, at first glance, seems pretty basic. They tell you where your ancestors came from and a list of various genetic traits: is your hair likely to be curly, can you taste bitter foods etc. Interesting but hardly world-shaking in most cases.
But in addition to this pre-analyzed information 23andMe also allows you to download a file containing the raw data: a long list of the actual SNPs and your results. These you can upload to certain web sites such as Promethease for detailed analysis, or if you know what you are doing and what you are looking for you can look through the raw data yourself. That's when the fun begins.
And I knew just what I wanted to look for.
In 2014 Daniel Kripke et al. published an article called, Circadian Polymorphisms in Night Owls, in Bipolars, and in Non-24-Hour Sleep Cycles. You can get the full text at the link below.
The study identified several SNPs statistically associated with N24 or DSPS. Not all of the SNPs studied by Kripke et al were tested by 23andMe but three of the most important ones were.
In the case of N24, Kripke et al. were particularly interested in variations in a gene called BHLHE40, or basic helix-loop-helix protein E 40. The protein produced by this gene plays a major role in the molecular clock.
The study found that subjects with N24 were statistically more likely to have one or two C alleles instead of a T at a portion of the genome labelled rs908078, which is part of the regulatory sequence for this gene. Looking at my 23andMe data I found this line:
rs908078 3 5024771 CT
So, yes indeed I did have one C allele. It might have been even more impressive if I had two, as some of the N24 subjects did, but one C is still interesting.
But I developed N24 as an adult, following chronotherapy. Before that I had DSPD. So if there is a genetic predisposition it might be even more likely to show up in genes associated with DSPD. Kripke et al found two such genes and corresponding SNPS.
The first is a gene called NFIL3 (nuclear factor, interleukin 3 regulated). It also plays a role in the circadian clock.
The SNP for NFIL3 is rs2482705, and people with DSPS are more likely to have two G alleles. So looking at my data file I find this line.
rs2482705 9 94182502 GG
So, yes, GG. I can cross out another letter on my bingo card.
The other gene is RORC (retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptor C). This gene has many functions and is not well understood, but one of its roles is also in clock regulation.
The associated SNP is designated rs3828057. People with DSPS are more likely to have a GG allele. Going back to my data file I search for that string and find this.
rs3828057 1 151780177 CC
You might at first think that was a miss, but remember the structure of DNA. It consists of two strands linked together in a helix, which run in opposite directions, the sense strand and the antisense strand. A C in the sense strand matches a G in the antisense strand, and vice versa. An A matches to a T. So CC is actually equivalent to a GG in this case. It simply means one group tested the sense strand and the other the antisense strand.
So we have another hit.
So for the SNPs that were tested by 23andMe I am 3 for 3 in having the alleles associated with N24 or DSPD. I don't want to make too much of this. These are statistical associations. It's entirely possible to have either disorder and not have these genes or to have the genes and not the disorder. Nonetheless, while I am not yet ready to shout BINGO!, I find the presence of these genes intriguing. We aren't quite ready to trace their function directly to the disorder but that may come in time. The first step in that process is to know what genes are involved. The fact that these genes are ones we do know are intimately involved in regulating the circadian clock is a good omen for our future understanding.
But there is also more on the horizon. Recall I mentioned 23andMe only tests a limited number of SNPs. Kripke et al reported a total of 9 SNPs associated with N24. While rs908078 was the one they focused on the most, the other 8 are also significant. But 23andMe only tested for rs980078. They did not test the other 8. But a whole genome sequencing, if I am ever able to afford that, should give results for the other 8. That's a lot more letters to put on the bingo card!
I don't think we are likely to explain N24 or DSPD entirely based on genetics. Developmental and epigenetic factors almost certainly play a role. But the more we know about the genetic aspects, the better off we will be. I must also add that genetic studies are not always replicated and it may turn out that all of this is a Will-o'-the-wisp that I will have to retract next year. But eventually real data will come out. As one of my favorite fictional characters said, "the truth is out there."

Treatments for circadian sleep disorders fall into three general categories. The first combines phototherapy and scototherapy, that is treatment with light and dark. The second is pharmacotherapy, usually using melatonin or one of its drug analogs. The third treatment is what I will discuss today and is known as chronotherapy.
None of these forms of treatment is universally successful — or there would be little need for this blog. Chronotherapy was the first treatment found to be successful for some cases of DSPS and thus was a major advance in treatment [1]. The researchers who discovered it should be commended. But many valuable medical treatments also carry inherent risks. In particular anyone planning chronotherapy needs to know that it poses a risk of converting DSPS into the even more severe disorder known as non-24 hour sleep wake cycle disorder (N24).
This risk was first reported in a letter to the New England Journal of Medicine in 1992 by Dan Oren and Thomas Wehr of the NIH [2]. They described three patients who had long-standing DSPS and had attempted to treat it by means of chronotherapy. In each of those cases the result was a persisting case of N24.
I can vouch for the accuracy of the NEJM article for one of the cases described is actually mine. I had DSPS for over 15 years before attempting to treat it by chronotherapy. That was the start of my current condition of N24.
The reason I am posting about this at this time is that I have gotten emails from people in recent years who have tried chronotherapy and who had also ended up as N24. These people were startled to find out that this risk was known 18 years ago. They were not aware of this risk prior to starting chronotherapy. Since chronotherapy is widely recommended, but the risk it poses is not widely known, I thought the subject needed to be addressed.
Two questions arise. Why does chronotherapy cause N24 in some cases; and how often does it do so?
To address the "why" question, let's first review the difference between DSPS and N24. Someone with DSPS is unable to sleep except at a very delayed hour compared to most people. For example someone who sleeps every day from 4am to noon and cannot advance their sleep to normal hours would have the diagnosis of DSPS.
N24 is somewhat different. The sleeping time of someone with N24 changes from day to day. If they start out falling asleep at 4am, the next day they might not fall asleep until 6am, the following day at 8am, then 10am and so on, until they go around the clock. They might have a 26 hour day, as in that example, or any other day length longer than 24 hours, hence the name non-24 hour sleep-wake cycle disorder.
Returning to DSPS, while someone with DSPS cannot advance their sleep — cannot start going to bed at 2am if they are used to going to bed at 4am — they often can delay their sleep if they try. Thus it was proposed that they could normalize their sleep by going to bed later and later until they rolled around the clock to a normal sleep time. If they started at 4am they would be told to go to sleep the next day at 7am, then 10am then 1pm and so on until they reached a normal bedtime.
Described this way, it's easy to see that chronotherapy for DSPS consists of temporarily following a schedule like that of someone with N24.
This first phase of chronotherapy is supposed to be followed by a second stabilization phase once the desired sleep time is reached. In the stabilization phase the subject is supposed to rigidly stick to the new bedtime and wake time.
Sometimes this works. Chronotherapy has been successful in some individuals. But not always. The N24 state, once entered into, is not so easy to reverse. In some persons, it is irreversible and they find that chronotherapy, far from curing their circadian problem, has instead converted it to a new, more impairing form.
There are two reasons why the transition to N24 can be difficult to reverse.
The first reason has to do with the relative phase of sleep compared to the phase of the body's circadian rhythm which determines the phase response curve to light. In many cases of DSPS the delay of the sleep cycle relative to the light PRC means that such "nite owls" are asleep during the time at which the body need to be exposed to light in order to advance the timing of the circadian rhythm. When doing chronotherapy one goes to bed even later relative to the PRC. This decreases light exposure during the phase advance portion of the PRC and increases the light exposure during the phase delay portion of the PRC, causing a progressive delay of the circadian rhythm. The circadian rhythm determines the rhythm of sleep propensity so that delays as well. This sets up a positive feedback effect which tends to perpetuate the N24 state once it has been started. To reverse N24 once this feedback loop is started is very difficult.
A second reason may relate to findings in studies of animals on non-24 hour schedules (produced by a non-24 hour zeitgeber such as lights that go on and off every 25 hours). It has been found that prolonged maintenance on such a schedule changes the apparent period of the circadian rhythm, so that even when released from the non-24 hour zeitgeber into an environment of constant light or dark they continue to show signs of their prior N24 schedule [3]. This was the reason cited in the original NEJM article.
How large is the risk of inducing N24 after chronotherapy? The NEJM article mentions 3 patients, which seems small until one recalls that the original article on chronotherapy in 1981 only cited 5 successful cases [1]. There have been other reports of successful chronotherapy since then, but usually with small numbers of patients. Published cases of chronotherapy leading to N24 have been fewer; but as I mentioned, I have heard personally from other people in whom this has happened. There has been no systematic attempt to determine the relative risk. But given the small numbers of reported chronotherapy successes, the even smaller numbers of conversion to N24 cannot be considered negligible.
It may be that this risk could be reduced by the additional use of light boxes and dark therapy during the stabilization phase of chronotherapy. But this is speculation. The authors of the NEJM article suggest a slow advance of DSPS using light therapy as preferable to chronotherapy.
Of course not all DSPS patients will respond to slow phase advance by light therapy. For those who don't the possibility of chronotherapy is tempting.
I am not someone who likes to make blanket statements. I would not suggest that chronotherapy be abandoned entirely. It does work for some. Nor am I criticizing the researchers who invented chronotherapy. Since prior to that there were no treatments at all for DSPS it was an important advance, and one that may still have its uses. But what I would say is that anyone starting chronotherapy needs to know that there is a risk it could make their circadian disorder worse. It is a calculated risk, although one in which we have little data to make that calculation accurately.
Many web sites and even medical texts mention the use of chronotherapy. Very few mention the risk that it can induce N24. One would have thought that an article in the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine would have been enough to get the word out, but clearly this aspect needs to be more widely discussed, which is why I am posting this.

Unanswered: queries for both db2 and informix tables
Hi is there a way to use both tables(informix and db2) in single query?

Two solutions that I'm aware of:
Buy EGM (Enterprise Gateway Manager):
With this product you can virtualize a DB2 database as an Informix
database on a virtual informix server. Then joining is easy.
Note: The query is running on IDS
Configure the DB2 database as a federated server and create a nickname
If you first install Informix CSDK on the DB2 machine and then install
Informix, then the DB2 wrapper is installed automatically.
After that just specify the database server as a FEDERATED instance
and you are able to create servers, user mappings, nicknames etc.
Note: The query is running on DB2
The last solution is free of charge I believe due to the fact that Informix
now belongs to the DB2 family. This is also possible with other databases (like Oracle) but then you need the Websphere Information Integrator product.
Hope this helps (a bit),

|Saturday morning started off with giggles and cuddles in bed with this guy
|Emmett supervised of course. The only think better than having my own space to garden was having my son and husband right there with me.
|I hear love will make a garden grow... so I smothered Emmett in kisses
|Water probably helps too ;)
|More snuggles, this time after nursing and before bed. Some beautiful time together.
|Sunday started with a visit from Antonio, an NYC buddy. Robert & Antonio headed out for a longish run while I baked post run treats: Polenta Crusted Quiche & Blueberry Muffins. I love a good excuse to have fun in the kitchen!
|At lunch, we try to distract Emmett with toys so that he doesn't try to grab out drinks. He especially loves to longingly stare at Robert's beer.
|We took the long route home to stop at a local country concert. Emmett was certainly the youngest their. I guess this could be considered his first concert?
|While Emmett took another short nap, I got a jump start on this week's Mother's Day orders
|And finally got my run done once Emmett was sleeping at 9:30 pm. Another better late than never night!
Now it's back to Monday but after such a wonderful weekend, I don't mind it so much. I have a feeling it's going to be a pretty stellar week. So how was your weekend?

Bagels and music roll into River District
Patrons in the downtown River District will soon be able to eat bagels and listen to music, too. Big Apple Bagels and Acme Records are both moving to the quickly growing downtown area.
Acme Records, a local independent retailer of music, videos and books in Rockford, has recently joined the growing number of local businesses moving into Rockfords downtown River District. Their new location is 221-A E. State St., located above Lulas Vintage Boutique.
Acme works closely with the local music community, offering a one-stop location for all local artists to sell their merchandise and promote their upcoming shows. In addition, Acme carries an eclectic selection of CDs, records, DVDs, books, magazines, toys and various odds and ends. Aside from their in-store selection, Acme also specializes in fast special orders of music, video and books, often filling requests in three to five days.
For more information on Acme Records, call (815) 962-8971 or e-mail email@example.com.
Big Apple Bagels, a popular local eatery, is opening a second Rockford location in the William Brown Building, 228 S. Main St., downtown Rockford.
Construction is currently under way with an early July opening planned, according to Deanne DiGiovanni of Big Apple Bagels. The DiGiovannis took over the Big Apple Bagels restaurant business in 1999 and have seen the business steadily grow. From carry-out orders to eat-in services, the restaurant at 5411 E. State St. enjoys a good reputation for quality and variety in its menu.
Besides the popular bagels and deli sandwiches, the downtown store will also feature gourmet coffees and fruit slushies. The store plans to be open for breakfast and lunch on weekdays. It will be open weekends for special events.
Located in this historic building is really exciting, added Deanne. Were keeping the exposed brick and wooden floor, adding a fireplace and some more windows. You can come in and relax or grab a quick latte and bagel to go. We are ready to be part of downtown and know we will bring a delicious and fun eating choice to Main and Chestnut!
Owners of the building, William Charles Investments, remodeled the 1890s six-story building in stages. First came the complete renovation of the AMCORE Bank facility on the south side of the first floor. Then the company created 30 market-rate one- and two-bedroom loft apartments on floors two through six. And now, the Big Apple Bagels restaurant will be on the north side of the ground floor.

Pearson et al. (2007) reported paleotemperature estimates derived from stable oxygen isotopes of exceptionally well-preserved foraminifera and from organic molecules (using the TEX86 index) in Paleocene and Eocene hemipelagic clay deposits in Tanzania. They concluded that tropical sea-surface temperatures (SSTs) were stable throughout the Eocene, a finding that is surprising given substantial stable isotope data from deep-sea cores that display gradual SST cooling in the tropics and at higher latitudes from the early Eocene onwards. Pearson et al. attribute this discrepancy to pervasive diagenetic overprinting of tropical surface-dwelling foraminifera, and argue that foraminiferal overgrowth becomes systematically more pronounced upsection at the deep-sea sites.
The intent of this Comment is (1) to challenge the notion that tropical paleotemperatures remained stable during the Eocene, and (2) to argue that systematic increases in diagenetic overprinting are not responsible for the cooling trend obtained from deep sea cores, a natural corollary of (1).
We show in Figure 1 that by plotting all of the data from Pearson et al., a cooling trend is observed during the Eocene, whereas the culled data set presented in their paper shows more stable high temperatures. Pearson et al. extracted the warmest seasonal paleotemperature estimate from the pool of data for mixed-layer planktonic foraminifera in each sample, mixing both the taxa and size fractions being compared from different time slices. In contrast, the deep-sea data (Bralower et al., 1995; Dutton et al., 2005) consist of monogeneric samples from a restricted size fraction, providing a more realistic estimate of average long-term climate trends. Hence the discrepancy in SST trends reported by Pearson et al. is, at least partially, an artifact of comparing seasonal extreme values (warmest temperatures and/or highest runoff) from Tanzania, to monogeneric SST trends from deep-sea sites.
Independent paleobiogeographic evidence also points toward tropical cooling. Tropical foraminiferal and nannofossil assemblages show increases in the relative proportion of mid-high latitude species during the late middle Eocene (e.g., Haq et al., 1977). In light of these considerations, we maintain that evidence from Tanzanian foraminifera, deep-sea cores, and biogeographic data all provide a coherent and strong argument for a cooling trend in tropical SSTs during the Eocene. The TEX86 proxy from Tanzania displays relatively stable SSTs during this interval (Pearson et al., 2007), perhaps representing a more stable seasonal (summer) signal.
Diagenesis likely contributes to some of the difference in absolute temperatures between the deep sea and the Tanzanian shelf; however, given that SST cooling is observed in both the pelagic deep-sea cores and the more coastal Tanzanian foraminiferal stable isotope data, it follows that diagenesis is not the origin of the cooling trend observed in the Eocene. In fact, middle to late Eocene foraminifera from Site 1209 are generally more dissolved than specimens from older time intervals, which is not consistent with the secondary recrystallization mechanism proposed by Pearson et al. Developing techniques to quantify the degree of alteration in deep-sea data, which are likely more representative of global trends, is crucial to combining them with data from glassy foraminifera in clay-rich sediments that are more primary in origin.

1. How is it Tuesday already?! The weekend flew by (probably because we were so busy), but we enjoyed the sunshine and lovely weather and friends.
2. My manicotti turned out yummy! It was the recipe HERE and my changes were adding some sausage, using regular, uncooked Manicotti noodles, reducing to 1 can of spaghetti sauce, and adding 1C water. It was great, and until I find a more amazing recipe, this one's it! 🙂
3. Has anyone done or currently doing Couch to 5K? I'm in the midst of it and really enjoying myself. More than I thought I would actually.
My parents have a treadmill, and live about 3 minutes away, so I get up at 5 when Nathan does have started working out there while the kids are sleeping and he's getting ready for school. I do definitely need some music or something though. It get's a whee bit boring. Anyone want to gift me an IPOD? 😉
4. Does anyone else have way too many blog's they're subscribed too? My list is endless of the amount of cool one's I've found and it causes issues. I want to read some blogs, go to my Google Reader, and 50 have new posts. And then I end up reading like 15 new posts. And never catch up on the other's. It's a problem. But if it's the biggest one I have, I think I'm doing quite well!
5. Speaking of blog's, do yourself a favor and read a new favorite blog HERE. Lyndsay is an amazing photographer and went through every parents nightmare last spring when her son was diagnosed with Demyelination Disorder. I would suggest starting with THIS post. She inspires me to work harder at being the best mommy possible.
6. I have a maternity session this weekend, and it's supposed to be sunny! Not much thrills me more. Beside's all the newborn's coming up from these maternity sessions! 😉
7. Landon continues to carry my old point and shoot camera around everywhere. Nathan keep asking if it's his new blankie. 😉 He takes his to grandma and papa's, to the store, to church, everywhere. He always pretends to be taking pictures of everyone and everything. It's ridiculously cute to see a little mini-me walking around like I do, taking it so seriously!
8. I've been browsing online way too late at night after the kids are in bed, for healthy recipes. I have alot we like, but they can get a big boring, and I'm always ready to try new recipes! So, I found this site HERE and I love it! They have recipes, meal plans, and all sorts of fun things. I might be hoping that Amy, the blog owner, will be willing to guest post sometime. 🙂
9. I think I talk alot about food in my blog posts…
10. Have a happy week!

The rumor mill continues to spin, as talks of Tony Romo heading north to play for the Denver Broncos becomes more real with every day. Longtime Dallas sportscaster Dale Hansen joined Eric Goodman and Les Shapiro during Afternoon Drive on Mile High Sports Radio to discuss the possibility of Romo being the starting quarterback of the Broncos in 2017.
"If I was John Elway, I would be looking at Tony Romo really hard because I think he can still absolutely play at a high level," said Hansen. "The only real question is can he take a hit anymore?"
Romo has missed the past two NFL season due to injury, which eventually lead to him loosing his starting spot with the Dallas Cowboys to Dak Prescott.
"If you look at the hits that knocked him out in 2015 and 2016, by football standards, I didn't think they we're much of a hit," said Hansen. "I'm not saying it doesn't hurt when a 320-pound-guy knocks you down and lands on you. I've seen worse hits, and players get up and for whatever reason, over the last couple of years anyway, Romo hasn't been able to get back up."
Although Romo appears to be a fragile player, he still is a very talented. With two young quarterbacks residing in Denver, Hansen thinks Romo can serve as a bridge until the likes of Trevor Siemian or Paxton Lynch can fully develop.
"I think he's got a couple of years, if he can stay healthy," said Hansen
Listen to the full interview with Dale Hansen, as well as his thoughts on Romo's ability to perform in the playoffs, in the podcast below.
Catch Afternoon Drive with Goodman and Shapiro every weekday from 4p-6p on Mile High Sports AM 1340 | FM 104.7 or stream live any time for the best local coverage of Colorado sports from Denver's biggest sports talk lineup.

I would tell him as much of the truth as possible. My three older daughters all know my dx, one has actually been dx with bp herself. He probably already feels that something is wrong. Sometimes things make more sense when you can put a label on it. After all it's a disorder, not a character flaw. He needs to be made to understand that so that he can see his fathers illness in it's proper light.
It all depends on his maturity level of course. My 10 year old knows I take meds but not what for. He's never asked. I guess when he does I'll tell him the truth.
Good luck to you
Bipolar IIIt is a melancholy of mine own, compounded of many simples, extracted from many objects, and indeed the sundry contemplation of my travels, in which my often rumination wraps me in a most humorous sadness. -- William Shakespeare
