First the background: A formation of three red lights was observed over Colorado. They were caught on video by Lafayette resident Leroy Vandervegt after his son Nick spotted them in the sky.
The lights were described as continuous, unblinking, hovering silently in the air and moving together in the same triangular pattern until they faded away.
Vandervegt never suggested the lights were aliens visiting his neighborhood.
So, what could most likely explain the Colorado lights?
"Road flares tied to balloons," wrote Benjamin Radford, Bad Science columnist at LiveScience.
Radford, who is also managing editor of Skeptical Inquirer magazine, mentions that "the formation of the lights is consistent with independently moving objects, not fixed lights on an aircraft."
And yet, he also confirms that "as can be seen in the video and from eyewitnesses, they all moved in one direction together, stayed in more or less the same formation while in the same air currents."
Bradford maintains that because the slow-moving lights were silent and eventually faded away, this supports the idea of dying road flares. "It's not surprising that eyewitnesses could not identify the objects, since most people have not seen road flares tied to balloons in the night sky," he added.
Of course, a look at the reader comments beneath Bradford's story reflects the outrage felt by those open to the possibility of extraterrestrials.
"How do you keep balloons floating in what appears to be an equilateral triangle formation?"
"The fact there is no smoke visible in the video absolutely proves these were not flares. How can a skeptic miss the most obvious fact from the video?"
"Three helium balloons with 15-foot string and enough drinking straws to keep the balloon strings rigid. Three super bright red LEDs taped to cell batteries and to the balloons. Tie the strings together at the bottom, then tie each balloon at the top with three identical lengths to keep them separated from one another and voila: freak out the population."
"When it comes to solving a mystery like this, a professional debunker is just as untrustworthy as a UFO fanatic. ... Any 'flare and balloon' theory must remain as a theory only until thoroughly determined whether such a theory is scientifically feasible. As a REAL scientist, I am not saying that this UFO is either a hoax or something extraordinary."
For another opinion, AOL News reached out to Jon Nowinski, director of the Connecticut-based Smoking Gun Research Agency, a group that investigates "all things fringe."
"It's difficult to tell anything from footage like this, as objects are on a black sky, which makes it impossible to judge size, distance or maneuverability," Nowinski wrote in an e-mail. "They do however, seem to move at the same speed and stay the same distance."
Earlier this year, the Smoking Gun Research Agency investigated a series of similar lights videotaped in the sky over Connecticut, referred to as the "Newtown UFO." In that case, Nowinski's research team determined the objects were paper lanterns.
"People were all too quick to make the jump from UFO to alien craft," Nowinski wrote. "We try to emphasize in much of the work that we do that a UFO simply means unidentified."

Trend Watch: Local Furniture and the 100 Mile Interior
While having coffee with another design blogger, we discussed the future of design in the new economy. I suggested that furniture might follow food: people will want to look the designer in the eye to ensure that they are getting something built to last that is fair value and made from local materials. We know about the 100 mile diet; now it is time for the 100 mile interior. An example might be the work of Hundredstenunits in Coventry, UK.
Matt Bassett, David Horan and Tom Nelson write:

text: I think that we could add a new level to BFV that is Bounty Hunting. Basically there would be a bounty book (such as the one i have up right now) that is marked by the level of awesomeness, amount of kills, quality of kills, and past deeds that would tell you the bounty on someones head. Then you could bounty fight someone for the bounty on that persons head. The bounty you gain would be something like rep, or something else we could think of. Anyway i think it would be cool.

Totally casual. After a morning spent in the garden, I needed to go out, and pretty much the minute I took off the gardening gloves and came into the house, the rain started. So closed-toe shoes, and something I didn't mind getting wet were my priorities. Since I'd fully committed to the idea of sneakers, I decided to go ahead and wear another pair of jeans, as part of the intermittent Jeans Reduction Project. These are really not tremendously flattering jeans; they're too big, for a start, and without a belt, they literally fall off my ass. (Which is crazy, since these purport to be 29-inch waist jeans. My waist runs about 29 to 31, depending on the time of the month. Sizing is just plain whack here.) However, since they're boyfriend-style jeans, some bagginess is OK with me. Since they're insanely comfortable and super soft, I think I'm going to keep them for a while. I can always donate them later on, if I change my mind. I mean, these are seriously freaking comfortable. Details: Jewelery: All gifted by spouse, all remixed. Cardigan: Tags long ago cut out, but this is just your basic cheap cotton grandpa-style cardi. Tank: Gap, remixed. Belt: Pulled from another pair of pants it came with, remixed. I think this is from a pair of H&M pants, and it's just cheapo pleather, but its size and shape is perfect for a lot of my definitely-belt-needing pants. Bag: Cath Kidston, remixed. Jeans: Ralph Lauren Prescott Boyfriend, thrifted. Sneakers: Converse All-Star. 1 note Comments Permalink thrifted remixed jeans reduction project ralph lauren sneakers casual
Again with the jeans. These are my best-fitting skinnies, they are very comfortable, and they're still in pretty good nick, so they're definitely staying. I find myself turning to a variant on this particular look quite a lot lately. I love jeans, and in my mind, they're clearly the style of pants that best suits me, particularly skinny, straight and so-called boy cuts. I'm beginning to think that, for the most part, because there are exceptions, I need to give up on the idea of wearing more formal pants, and just go ahead and wear skirts and dresses when I feel like jeans are inappropriately casual. Given that right now coloured jeans are pretty easy to find, I've been looking to add a few pairs to my collection, to fill the gaps created by sorting through and donating the jeans and other trousers that didn't make the cut. At the moment, I'm particularly keen to find a purple pair, but so far, I'm only finding cropped ones, or shades of purple I'm not crazy about. I'm pretty flexible on cut, but I do want them to be full-length. Anyway, it's late and I'm soon to bed, so here are the details: Scarf: This is an infinity scarf I cut the tags off long ago, and thus, I am not sure where it's from. I think it's either River Island or Gap. Suede blazer: Thrift score! Oh, I am so happy with this. It's slightly boxy-looking hanging open — it's probably about half a size too big — but when I button it, you can see that it's actually fairly fitted in the waist. The tag said "For Women," on it, which is not particularly helpful in determining its provenance. It's a quality piece, though; the suede is very soft and easy to move in. This was really a lucky find, and I've worn it a lot since buying it. Jeans: Super Squin, H&M, remixed. I'm assuming "Squin" is pronounced "Skin," although what do I know, I don't know how H&M pronounces it, but just to give you a glimpse into how weird my brain can be, I fondly imagine Super Squin as a super heroine, whose super power is finding perfectly-fitting jeans. Bag: Fossil, remixed. Loving this one a lot, too. I really don't like fussy closures on my bags, and love that this one has a secure magnetic closure that's really quite easy to get into very quickly. Boots: Frye Harness 8R, remixed. My goodness, bench-crafted boots are awesome. I'm continually blown away by how damn good these things are. 1 note Comments Permalink thrifted remixed jeans reduction project frye boots
Nothing special today, just another Jeans Reduction Project candidate. It was rainy, it was miserable, I had to go out, and being warm and comfortable whilst slogging through our LOVELY spring weather was a priority. These jeans were never for a moment a serious candidate for donation. I love these jeans. They're actually more flattering than they photographed, but more to the point, these are my deeply beloved 501s. Best button-fly on the planet, in my opinion, and I have held forth on my love for button-fly jeans before. I wish all my jeans had button-flies. No, they did not shrink to fit perfectly — although in the waist and from about the mid-thigh down, the fit is exactly as it should be in a pair of 501s — but they are perfectly relaxed, insanely comfortable, and such total classics that I will forgive them. Plus, I got them for twelve quid at TK Maxx, and in the UK, at least, that is just a crazy steal. I feel fantastic in these jeans. With that said, and even though I'm in the middle of going through all my jeans to get rid of the ones I don't like, I am actually considering purchasing another pair of brand-new 501s, and doing the whole bathtub thing, except this time, I'd be looking at men's jeans, instead of women's, as these are. For all my love of these pants, and determination to keep them, I would really like to give getting a perfect fit on my thighs & hips a go, and men's pants seem like they'd be better for that, given my personal proportions. 501s are straight-legs, not skinnies, so I am not particularly concerned that they fit perfectly tightly across my thighs; just a little less loose fabric would be fine with me. I'm gonna wait, however, until we actually get some warmer weather, and I have a chance to get out to the Levi's shop at our nearest outlet mall, so I can do that as cheaply as possible, and not freeze my arse off during the shrink-to-fit process. Still, I love these very much, and even if I do get my perfect fit in a new pair, these will remain with me for some time to come. Details: Necklace: Next, thrifted, remixed. Tee: Gap. Belt: Gap, remixed. Around my natural waist, this belt is too big (and sheesh, Gap, worst sizing inconsistency offender I know, THIS IS A SIZE SMALL) but sort of around my hips it fits really well. Jeans: Levi's 501s. Boots: Deichmann, remixed. Comments Permalink thrifted remixed jeans reduction project levi's 501
And once again, I flee back to the comfort of black top/white bottom. This isn't actually a repeat; this is another Jeans Reduction Project candidate getting a spin, and no way am I getting rid of these. Proper straight-leg jeans that fit me well in the seat and aren't ridiculously big in the thighs are always going to find a place in my wardrobe. Also, totally long enough, so definitely made of win. Nothing is perfect, of course, and these are a smidge too big in the waist, but not so much so that belting causes bunching. I was completely comfortable in these all day. Keepers. Details: Boat-neck tee: Dorothy Perkins, remixed. Necklace: Mango, remixed. Belt: Gap, remixed. Jeans: See by Chloe via TK Maxx. These jeans are the best argument for higher-end denim I've ever personally encountered. My high-end denim comes strictly through thrift stores or super-deep clearance discount at TK Maxx. I could not fathom paying full retail for even a diffusion line like See by Chloe, no matter how great they make my butt look. Shoes: Deichmann, remixed. Scarf: Tie Rack. Trench: Tag says "Anastasia," which amuses me slightly, since that's my full first name. Purchased at TK Maxx. Bag: Fossil, remixed. Comments Permalink remixed jeans reduction project black and white
This isn't what I wore today; today I repeated this outfit exactly. This photo is of another jeans reduction project outfit I wore over the weekend. These are staying, mostly because they're my only pair of really dark wash boot cut jeans, and thus, kind of a necessity. I like them well enough, although I'd prefer a little less — ok, a LOT less — stretchy man-made fibre in the fabric mix. (These are about 12%, I want to say, and usually I operate on a strict 1-2% spandex at most policy.) I think they look fine, I just am not crazy about the feel of them, and if an opportunity to replace them with something much closer to 100% cotton arises, I'll take it. I won't go out of my way to look, though, since mostly I wear skinny, boy and straight jeans. I just regard these as useful, if you see what I mean. This was an outfit worn on a break from the garden to run errands. Not really anything I would normally consider to be my style, such as it is, but it seemed like a good opportunity to make a jeans reduction project decision, and as I've already noted, these survived the cut. Details: Necklace: Monsoon, remixed. My style asserts itself! The rest of the outfit is too bland and plain, so a statement necklace saves me from feeling like a total frump. Jumper: Deane & White, remixed. Mostly I love the neckline on this. Jeans: Long and Lean, Gap, remixed. A much-coveted pair of 34-inch inseam jeans — on deep clearance, no less! — in my (usual, subject to the vagaries of sizing inconsistency) size, which is probably what caused me to neglect looking closely enough at the tags to find out about the high poly mix. Staying, but not with much enthusiasm or love. Shoes: Deichmann, remixed. Comments Permalink remixed jeans reduction project from the vaults
Another Jeans Reduction Project outfit, and another keeper, primarily because a pair of white bootcut jeans are a wardrobe necessity for me. I don't think these fit particularly badly, although they are, perhaps, a skosh big, but if I happened to find a pair with a closer-to-perfect fit, I'd probably replace them. I probably wouldn't put much effort into doing that, though; it'd be a case of finding them while thrifting, or just by chance on the Gap's clearance rack or something like that. I'm not sure why I'm currently so crazy about white pants and skirts, especially paired with black tops and minimal accessories, but I really do reach for this sort of thing a lot lately. It's becoming one of my staple smart casual looks, and it always makes me feel really put-together and chic in a very understated way when I go for a variant on this look. I like it. I like it so much that I'm strongly considering a black-and-white (plus blue jeans) capsule wardrobe for our next holiday. None of this means I am losing my love of colour, oh no, but it's kind of nice to settle on something pretty simple that just always works for you, with minimal thought and effort. Details: Scarf: Marni for H&M. This is probably more properly called a kerchief, since it's triangular. It's one of two pieces I purchased from the recent Marni/H&M collaboration. (The other should be coming up pretty soon.) I loved the colours and the print, and the fact that it's 100% silk didn't hurt, either. Cardigan: Jackpot, remixed. Oh, man, speaking of wardrobe staples, this long black cardigan was much-needed and I was very relieved to find it. I'm pretty sure I already moaned about how hard it was to find this thing, but I still can't believe how much time and effort it took to find something so basic. Tank top: Gap, remixed. Belt: Gap, remixed. Jeans: Marks & Spencer, remixed. One nice thing about M&S is that a lot of their pants and skirts come in short, medium, and long lengths. I appreciate that a lot, and suspect short and medium women do as well. M&S is not exactly cutting edge fashion, but they so this sort of thing very well. Bag: My thing for Fossil bags isn't going away. Thank goodness I have a knack for finding them cheap. Sandals: Born, remixed. Probably the last time you'll see me in sandals for a little while. The weather is supposed to get quite a bit colder starting tomorrow. Comments Permalink black and white fossil jeans reduction project remixed h&m/marni collection
More sunshine, more sandals, and this time, I remembered to paint my toenails. I took the skanky, chipped stuff off before going out yesterday, but didn't have drying time, so my unadorned toenails were exposed to the world, and I didn't like it. A quick coat of indigo varnish last night, and I'm ready to fully enjoy sandal weather, I suspect just in time for it to cool back down again for a while. The ongoing jeans reduction project brought this pair out for a spin today, and even as I was pulling them out of the drawer, I knew they were keepers. So-called "boyfriend" jeans are not necessarily the most curve-enhancing cut in the world, but with my narrow hips, and love of a shorter rise, they tend to fit me very well, they're completely comfortable to wear, and I love them. I also love the button fly in these jeans. I have no idea why I love button flies so much, I just do. Details: Blazer: Boden, thrifted, remixed. Another end-of-last-summer find I only got to wear once before it got too cold outside. This is slightly big in the shoulders, of all places, but it was a great buy, and I'm pleased to have found it. Scarf: Desigual, remixed. I'm starting to dig out the lighter-weight scarves, although I haven't even seriously considered doing the seasonal changeover yet. It WILL get cold again, for sure. 3/4 sleeve/scoopneck tee: Gap. Duh. I recently replaced my solid black and solid white tees, and rotated the old ones out. Cross-body satchel: Stuart Weitzman. This was a gobsmackingly good TK Maxx bargain, and I like it very much — the colour matches a few pairs of my shoes just about perfectly — but it's a little small for everyday use. I tend to prefer big, hobo-style or shopper bags, but it's nice to have one like this for days when I'm not going to be schlepping much around. Jeans: Boy Cut, Gap, remixed. Sandals: Hush Puppies. Comments Permalink thrifted remixed jeans reduction project
The sorting of the denim continues, and these are going away. They're supposed to be jeggings, but as you can probably see, they're way too big. (The shirt is also way too big, but I'm keeping it anyway, and just styling it better next time.) These, I think, will be replaced; I love white denim pants — this is a newish passion of mine — and with summer allegedly coming up, I can see that they'll get plenty of wear. I have a pair of cropped white trousers, which fit beautifully, and a pair of reasonably well-fitting white bootcut jeans, but skinnies or jeggings need to fit snugly, and these just don't. I have no idea if I've shrunk or they've stretched, but out they go. It's a shame, because other than the bad fit, I liked this outfit quite a lot. It's the kind of thing I find myself gravitating towards more and more lately, when I am looking for a pants-based smart casual look. My entire style seems to be rapidly evolving, and I'm finding it easier and easier to just get rid of stuff that doesn't feel quite right anymore. I'm also getting comfortable enough with my body to resist the urge to size up to hide my so-called flaws. I admire loose and flowy style on other people, but when it comes down to it, I mostly prefer my clothing to be fairly fitted. There are exceptions, of course, but for the most part, fitted is simply more comfortable to me. I'm also going through a minimalist phase with the accessories. I'm eyeing my vast collection of scarves and concluding that I don't really need that many of them, since I play favourites, and wear the same dozen or so over and over again. I love love love sunglasses, but probably 80% of the time, I end up wearing my vintage Wayfarers. I'm not getting rid of most of my costume jewelery, since I suspect this is at least partly a matter of it being winter, and finding too much stuff hanging off me troublesome when putting on coats and gloves and the like, but right now, I'm just going with it. The bangles will be there when I'm ready to wear them frequently again. So my wardrobe is keeping me very busy these days, and I'm hoping to draw some conclusions on the whole personal style thing, as I sort through it all and get all thinky about it. Details: Silver/moonstone necklace: Gifted from spouse, remixed. I love this thing beyond measure. Cowl-neck top: Gap. I snapped it up on clearance, because I love the colour, and I love my other two Gap cowl-neck tops, but it's too big to style like this. Thanks for the sizing inconsistency, Gap, since my other two are this size and fit fine. Soon-to-be-departed jeggings: I think I got these at Primark, but I cut all the tags out, to avoid show-through, which leads into the observation that I saw a woman wearing a pair of very lightweight leggings as pants the other day, and while that's not my style, okay, but really, cut the tags off the ass-seam, because not only could you see the tags were there, you could clearly read them. And, yeah, I was looking at her arse because she stood up directly in front of me on the bus. Oh, and another bus/fashion-related story; I got off the bus the other day, and one leg of my jeans got untucked from my Fryes, and the lady getting off behind me blurted, "Oh god, I'm sorry, I don't mean to bother you, but your pantleg is sticking out of your boot, and I'd want to know!" I laughed, and thanked her, since I, too, always want to know when stuff like that happens, and I appreciated it. I'd noticed myself, but was just waiting to get out of the way before fixing it. I have no idea why I told those stories. Boots: Duo, Catalonia, remixed. Comments Permalink jeans reduction project remixed duo boots
A bit late, and a bit of a headache, so I'm off to bed, but I leave you with an outfit I actually wore on Sunday, hence the snazzy photography. Today was filled with mostly unpleasant, messy domestic tasks, so very little effort went into my outfit. Details from a very casual Sunday: Cardigan: Gap, remixed. Pendant: Bijou Brigitte, Liverpool, remixed. Tee: Desigual. I tried this on mostly out of curiosity as to how this much ruching would work on me, and I was surprised to find I liked it. This serves as a reminder for me to try things outside of my comfort zone more often. Jeans: Premium Skinny, Gap Outlet, so remixed. I'm still working on my plan to severely reduce my ridiculous, and mostly-unworn collection of jeans, and these are staying. I wear them a lot, they're very comfortable, and I knew they were making the cut even before wearing them. The reason I wore them, in spite of already considering them keepers, is because the two pair I tried on previously that morning instantly got consigned to the Oxfam bag. It was nice to be able to make a snap decision! Boots: Frye Harness 8R, remixed. Comments Permalink remixed jeans reduction project desigual

CD/LP/Track Review
Sonny Simmons: Jewels (2004)
Simmons' best-known composition, "Music Matador,"? initiates the recording. It was originally featured on an Eric Dolphy recording, and in a recent AAJ interview Simmons affirms that it is his, rather than a co-composition with Prince Lasha, as commonly credited. Other musicians, including Jane Bunnett and Paul Bley, have recorded it since Dolphy did, accompanied at the time, among others, by Lasha and Simmons himself. Denuded of any technical enhancements or musical support, Simmons engages its bouncy melodic lines with aplomb, dexterity, patience, nimbleness, and shiraz-like dryness in his tone...not quite sweet, yet full-bodied and sonically aromatic, while intimating aging fruity delight. He, however, doesn't stray far from its melodic core in his decidedly intelligent and vibrant developmental approach...which subsumes what he does throughout the rest of the recording itself as none of the compositions stray from this methodological pattern. The melodies can be engrossing, memorable, or even catchy, and there are many pits to be mined for further capitalization, exploration, and development.
Most styles of jazz...as well as blues...are present, in varying degrees, and all compositions have their own particular highlights according to their respective characters, well represented by their titles. "Caribbean Nights,"? for example, has a type of sensuality that would lend itself quite well for a video clip featuring the famed Ursula Andress' emergence from the sea in the James Bond film Dr. No. There's a distinctively playful, breezy, and aged romantic nostalgia throughout this interpretation.
If one, however, were to expect a foray into libertine expressiveness in Jewels, with foggy and elusive hints at the compositions' fundamental natures, one would be both wrong and perhaps even miss how he builds his improvisations upon the clear melodic structures of the compositions. In other words, this is jazz unchained...from its so-called free stereotypical cacophonic and intrusive omni-directional thinking...by logical sonic patterns and expressions derived from the work's melodic core. It requires discipline to listen to an altoist improvising alone for more than an hour, nonetheless. The quality of the recording and the performance, however, are fine.
Track Listing: 1. Music Matador (S. Simmons) 2. Cosmic Funk (S. Simmons) 3. Caribbean Nights (S. Simmons) 4. Other Worlds (S. Simmons) 5. Reverend Church (S. Simmons)

Tony Kanaan regained the lead with 12 laps left in the Bombardier 500 and held off his teammate Dario Franchitti to win the IndyCar Series race Saturday night at Texas Motor Speedway.
While the race missed the 220-mile-an-hour speeds and much of the three-wide racing that had become characteristic at the mile-and-a-half, high-banked track, Kanaan won with a last dash to the finish.
One lap after a restart from the caution that knocked Buddy Rice, this year's Indianapolis 500 winner, out of the race, Kanaan overtook another Andretti Green Racing teammate, Dan Wheldon.
Wheldon and the Penske driver Hélio Castroneves had been 1-2 on the restart, but both were trying to make the last 72 laps without a stop. They did not have enough fuel to keep up the pace, or finish the race.
Kanaan went flying by Wheldon, and was joined by Franchitti, the pole-sitter, soon after the green flag as Castroneves quickly dropped four spots. They stayed first and second the rest of the race, the margin of victory being a quarter of a second.
It was the second victory of the season for Kanaan and third in the I.R.L. He took over the series points lead, 210-175, over Wheldon, who had led by a point going into the race.
Kanaan led 145 of 150 laps and finished with an average speed of 153.965 m.p.h.
Alex Barron finished third after starting at the back of the 22-car field because of a mechanical problem that kept him from posting a qualifying speed.
Rice had just led the previous lap when his front left wheel made contact with Darren Manning's wheel on the 179th lap. Hornish had to go high to avoid the mess.
''I didn't know anybody was down there,'' Rice said. ''I started to fall back in line, started to turn in and got a big hit from the side. I had no idea he was there.''
Though he managed to keep the car off the wall and get into the pits, Rice had a broken drive shaft and was done. After top-10 finishes in his first four races for Rahal-Letterman Racing, Rice dropped to 15th.

Title: | A Meta-Analysis on the Relationship Between Child Maltreatment and Dating Violence in Adolescence and Young Adulthood |
Author: | Dee, Tamara C. |
Abstract: | Objective: To investigate the relationship between experiencing child maltreatment and later involvement in an abusive dating relationship during adolescence and young adulthood (under the age of 25) and to examine possible moderators, including gender and maltreatment type. Method: This study was a meta-analysis comparing findings from 24 published studies. Results: Experiencing any type of child maltreatment was associated with an increased risk of involvement in an abusive dating relationship under the age of 25 (OR = 1.60, 95% CI, 1.47-1.75 p < .001). More specifically, child maltreatment was associated with an increased risk for dating violence victimization (OR = 1.72; 95% CI, 1.53-1.94, p < .001), and DV perpetration (OR = 1.55, 95% CI, 1.40-1.71, p < .001). There were no statistically significant differences between males and females. Additionally, there were no significant differences between various maltreatment types (i.e., IPV exposure, emotional abuse, physical abuse, sexual abuse, and general maltreatment). Conclusions: Child maltreatment is associated with an increased risk for involvement in dating violence, as both a perpetrator and a victim. Results appear not to differ by gender, nor by maltreatment type. Findings and recommendations for research in child maltreatment and dating violence are discussed. |

MusclePharm Announces Peer-Reviewed Publication Showing Positive Clinical Study Results of Pre-Workout Supplement, Assault(TM)
DENVER, April 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ — MusclePharm Corporation (OTCBB: MSLP), a nutritional supplement company focusing on all categories of an active lifestyle, today announced that the peer-reviewed journal, Nutrition and Metabolism, published a scientific paper showing positive results on the Phase 1 clinical trial of the company's pre-workout supplement, Assault(TM).
Conducted at the United States Sports Academy (USSA) (www.ussa.edu), the study suggests that ingesting Assault(TM) 20 minutes prior to exercise can improve agility, quickness and lower-body muscular strength in both strength and/or endurance-trained young adult males. Moreover, the study showed that Assault(TM) can improve energy, focus and alertness, and delay fatigue.
The purpose of the USSA study was to determine the effects of Assault(TM) on upper and lower body muscular endurance, aerobic and anaerobic capacity, and choice reaction time in recreationally-trained males. Subjective feelings of energy, fatigue, alertness and focus were measured to examine associations between psychological factors and human performance.
Researchers concluded that ingesting Assault(TM) before exercise significantly improved agility choice reaction performance and lower body muscular endurance, while increasing perceived energy and reducing subjective fatigue.
"Our findings suggest that Assault(TM) can provide athletes with an overall better workout experience by prolonging exercise performance, reducing fatigue and increasing energy-levels," said Jordan R. Moon, Ph.D., lead researcher of the clinical trial and USSA's Head of the Department of Sports Fitness and Health. "The athlete-subjects who consumed Assault lifted more weight, were faster in every reaction test and were motivated to continue to exercise with higher levels of focus and alertness than those on placebo."
"MusclePharm is one of only a few companies to support its products with clinical studies and scientific research," said Brad Pyatt, chief executive officer of MusclePharm. "Assault is the only pre-workout product on the market that is certified by both NSF International and Informed Choice as free of banned substances. These are some of the reasons why so many athletes and professional organizations partner with us, and why we believe MusclePharm is the future in the sports nutrition industry."
The abstract is entitled "Ingesting a pre-workout supplement containing caffeine, B-vitamins, amino acids, creatine, and beta-alanine before exercise delays fatigue while improving reaction time and muscular endurance" and can be downloaded at www.nutritionandmetabolism.com/content/9/1/28/abstract.
MusclePharm is a healthy life-style company that develops and manufactures a full line of NSF International and Informed Choice approved nutritional supplements that are free of banned substances. Based on years of research at the MusclePharm Sports Science Center, the products are created through an advanced six-stage research protocol involving the expertise of top nutritional scientists and field tested by more than one hundred elite professional athletes from various professional sports leagues including the National Football League, Mixed Martial Arts and Major League Baseball. The company's products address all categories of an active lifestyle, including muscle building, weight loss and maintaining general fitness through a daily nutritional supplement regimen. MusclePharm is sold in more than 120 countries and available in over 10,000 U.S. retail outlets, including Dick's Sporting Goods, GNC, Vitamin Shoppe, Vitamin World and Walmart.

Coming Home
And at The End of It All…Homecoming!
One thing I try to keep in mind is that at the end of the deployment, we get to experience something so wonderful. My friend's husband came home from deployment yesterday and posted her pictures on Facebook. Looking through them it reminded me of that wonderful day with my husband and how wonderful homecoming can be.
After all the long nights, computer conversations, emotional breakdowns, tears and lonely nights…it is finally over. You wake up with a smile on your face thinking, "Is today really the day?" And it is. You get ready as soon as you can, only to have hours to sit and wait for the final phone call. And finally you get it. Someone on the other end of the line tells you those magical words, ""Your soldier will be arriving at the gym at 2pm." And now you have a time. You can count down in hours! Before you know it you are at the gym with your kids and all the other wives and children waiting for everything to start. It seems like forever as you sit there with a smile on your face. You can't help it. This is such a happy day!
Finally someone important tells you it is almost time and to take your seat. The gym gets quiet, you see smoke and hear music and see the first of the boots march in. "Where is he? My husband is tall I should be able to spot him." You ask as you search the crowd of ASUs for your husband. And there he is, so serious. You know how excited HE is but he can't smile about it, at least not yet. All the men are finally in the gym and you can't hardly stand it. Someone important says a few words, maybe a prayer and then you hear those words…the words you have waited a full year to hear. "Soldiers you are released"
The room goes nuts. The men in uniform start to smile and laugh and the women run to them. Children shouting "daddy daddy." And you find him, and you hug him and you kiss him. And finally it is over. He is done with the deployment. The deployment stress is gone and he is in your arms again. All around you are daddies meeting babies, wives kissing husbands, and the room is filled with joy.
Other than my wedding day and the births of my children, there is nothing more wonderful than homecoming day. So after he does deploy I will remember that after some time, that day will come again. And we will have another homecoming day.
"Coming Home" Season 2 premieres Sunday, March 11 at 10 pm/9c. Watch a preview:

My Favorite Fighters
1)Gray Maynard 2)Dan Henderson 3)Minotauro Nogueira 4)Wanderlei Silva 5)Roy Nelson 6)Tim Boetsch 7)Mark Hunt 8)Shogun Rua 9)Lyoto Machida 10) Connor McGregor
this is the craziest thing i think ive ever seen you write. That would have been like saying "damn JDS, always goes out there looking to knock out his opponent!! Cant he do something else for once?!?!" If you were as good as Ronda is at her armbar wouldnt you always go for it too? wouldnt your strategy or gameplan be to take the fight to your strenghts and win as easily as possible?
No but when he says;
by saying this ^ it puts a negative spin on just how dominate Ronda has been. He also tries to justify it as being a shallow division...give respect where respect is do. Cyborg knocks lesser talent the fuck out and everyone praises her (minus the steroids) and for Ronda its excuse after excuse.The undisputed champion is someone that has only the armbar as the main weapon. All the time she uses the same strategy. She comes forward attacking with (sloppy) punches, gets into the clinch, takes down her opponent and from there she looks for the armbar. That has been her strategy for all her fights.

I wanted to make sure I understood this. Since I have upgraded my OPPO BDP-83 to the SE version I have decided to use the player's DAC to convert the audio signals. It appears that in Speaker Setup, all of the Audyssey settings remain except the Channel Level (4), which is unavailable. That seems to indicate that I must set those levels using my players trim settings. Do I have this right?

Austin–Bergstrom International Airport (IATA: AUS, ICAO: KAUS, FAA LID: AUS, formerly BSM) is a Class C international airport located in Austin, Texas – the capital of Texas, and serving the Greater Austin metropolitan area, the 34th-largest metropolitan area in the United States. Located about 5 miles (8 km) southeast of Downtown Austin, it covers 4,242 acres (1,717 ha) and has two runways and three helipads. The airport is named after Captain John August Earl Bergstrom, an officer who served for the 19th Bombardment Group.[2]
A total of 9,430,314 passengers traveled through the Austin–Bergstrom International Airport in 2012, an all-time high.[3] The airport is now the 38th busiest airport for total passengers in the United States.[4] Annual passenger total in 2012 increased by 4%, or 349,439 passengers, from the previous record year of 2011.
As of June 2013, there were over 150 daily departures to 41 destinations in the U.S. and Mexico.[5] The airport began passenger service on May 23, 1999.[6]
Austin–Bergstrom International Airport is located on the old site of Bergstrom Air Force Base. Austin–Bergstrom replaced Austin's Robert Mueller Municipal Airport, opening to the public on May 23, 1999.
The city began considering options for a new airport as early as 1971, when the Federal Aviation Administration proposed that Austin and San Antonio build a joint regional airport. That idea was rejected, as few Austinites supported driving half way to San Antonio to catch a flight. In the 1980s, neighborhoods around Mueller applied enough political pressure to force the city council to choose a site for a new airport from locations under consideration. In November 1987, voters approved a referendum designating a site near Manor. The city began acquiring the land and fighting lawsuits from the Sierra Club and others concerned about the Manor location.[7] The plans to construct a new airport at the Manor location were abandoned in 1991 when the Base Realignment and Closure Commission selected Bergstrom AFB for closure, and gave the nod to the city for it to be used as a civilian airport.
The first officially sanctioned landing field in Austin was Penn Field. At the Chamber of Commerce's behest, a United States Army delegation came to Austin in 1917 to scout out suitable sites for an airfield to serve the region. After the initial suggestion of Camp Mabry was rejected, a 318-acre (1.29 km2) parcel of land just south of St. Edward's University in South Austin was deemed suitable. Penn Field opened in 1918, named after Austin aviator Eugene Doak Penn, who died while training in Italy during World War I.[8]
As the need for commercial service became clear in the 1920s, Austin voters supported a bond election to build a municipal airport in the city in 1928. Located a few miles northeast of downtown, the Robert Mueller Municipal Airport served Austin's air traffic needs beginning October 14, 1930, although commercial service would not begin until 1936. The airport was named for Robert Mueller, a city council member who died in 1927.[9]
In the 1950s, developers began building residential areas beneath the flight paths of Mueller and, in parallel, the number of arrivals and departures at the airport increased dramatically because of the growth of the city. Also, at 7,269 feet (2,216 m), the runway at Mueller was too short to handle new planes such as the 747. However, larger aircraft such as American Airlines DC-10s and Continental Airlines Boeing 720s have been regularly scheduled in the past. Before major expansion at Mueller took place in the 1970s, the departure area consisted of 4 to 5 gates, not enclosed but covered by a large awning. No jetways existed at this time.[10]
Mueller's longest runway was 7,000 feet (2,100 m) and by the late 1990s, the passenger terminal was operating at full capacity with 16 gates.
Robert Mueller Airport remained open for general aviation use through June 22, 1999, at which point it was closed to passenger traffic indefinitely. The 711 acres (288 ha) site of Mueller Airport was eventually designated to be a mixed-used development that would come to be known as the Mueller Community.
In 1942, the city of Austin purchased land and donated the land to the United States government for a military installation, with the stipulation that the city would get the land back when the government no longer needed it. This land became Bergstrom Air Force Base. Del Valle Airfield was activated on 19 September 1942 on 3,000 acres (12 km2) leased from the City of Austin. The name of the base was changed to Bergstrom Army Airfield (AAF) on in March 1943, in honor of Captain John August Earl Bergstrom, a reservist in the 19th Bombardment Group, who was killed at Clark Field, Philippines in 1941. He was the first Austinite killed in World War II. With the separation of the United States Air Force and United States Army in September 1947, the name again changed to Bergstrom Air Force Base. It would have this name until it was decommissioned in the early 1990s, with all military aviation ceasing in 1995, after more than 50 years.[2]
On the early stages of exploring options for a new airport, the city submitted a proposal to the United States Air Force for joint use of Bergstrom AFB in 1976. The Air Force rejected the proposal in 1978 as being too disruptive to its operations. In 1991, the Base Realignment and Closure Commission selected Bergstrom AFB for closure and gave the nod to the city for it to be used as a civilian airport. The city council decided to abandon the original plan to build the new airport near Manor, and resolved instead to move the airport to the Bergstrom site. The City of Austin hired John Almond—a civil engineer who had recently led the airport design team for the new airport expansion in San Jose, California—as Project Director for the new $585 million airport in Austin and to put together a team of engineers and contractors to accomplish the task.[11]
The issue of a $400 million bond referendum for a new airport owned and operated by the city was put to a public vote in May 1993 with a campaign managed by local public affairs consultant Don Martin and then-Mayor Bruce Todd and was approved by 63% of the vote. Groundbreaking for the new airport began in November 1994.[12]
Austin–Bergstrom International Airport opened to the public on May 23, 1999 with a 12,250 feet (3,730 m) runway, among the nation's longest commercial runways. There are 25 gates within the 600,000 square feet (56,000 m2) Barbara Jordan passenger terminal, which is designed for eventual expansion to 55 gates. Originally conceived as an 18-gate terminal facility with a footprint of 500,000 square feet (46,000 m2), ABIA was expanded during construction to incorporate six additional gates for a total of 25 gates with a footprint of 600,000 sqft.[13]
Bergstrom had the designator BSM until Mueller's final closure in 1999, when it took Mueller's IATA code of AUS.[14]
Barbara Jordan Terminal was designed by the Austin firm of Page Southerland Page with associate architect Gensler under contract to the New Airport Project Team, with lead architect University of Texas at Austin Architecture professor Larry Speck.[15] The terminal is 660,000 square feet (61,000 m2) with a total of 25 gates. Inside the terminal, many local restaurants have leased concession space so that visitors can get a "taste of Austin" as they come through. The terminal also has a live music stage on which local bands perform in keeping with the spirit of Austin's proclamation as "The Live Music Capital of the World." The terminal is connected to a 3000 space parking garage used for public parking as well as rental car pick-up and return.
A consolidated rental car facility is under construction (anticipated completion in 2015) that will move counter, pick up, and drop off facilities to a new 900 space structure adjacent to the existing parking garage, allowing currently utilized spaces to be converted to additional close-in short term parking.[16] A second improvement project is a 50,000 square foot addition to the terminal that will increase the number of security checkpoints for departing passengers, and allow a second gate to be used for international arrivals. Customs and immigration facilities in the new addition will allow the processing of 600 passengers per hour when the facility is completed in 2015.[17]
A new dedicated facility known as the South Terminal Austin was approved by the Austin City Council in order to accommodate the arrival of Mexican-based, low-cost airline, VivaAerobus, which launched operations on May 1, 2008. That terminal was closed on June 1, 2009, after VivaAerobus terminated service to Austin.[18][19]
Both American Airlines and United Airlines operate lounges at this airport for members of their executive lounge programs. Members of Alaska Airlines's executive lounge program also have access to American's facilities.
Runway 17R/35L, to the west of the terminal, is the original runway built and used by the Air Force. The 12,248-foot-long (3,733 m) runway was reconditioned when Austin–Bergstrom was built. The 23-inch-deep (580 mm) concrete runway is dedicated to former President Lyndon B. Johnson.[20]
Runway 17L/35R is a new 9,000 foot (2,700 m) runway on the east side of the terminal and parallel with runway 17R/35L. This runway is dedicated to former Congressman J. J. "Jake" Pickle.[20] This runway contains a Category IIIB instrument landing system, the first in Austin.
The runways are watched over by a new 20-story air traffic control tower.[21] The tower formerly used by the Air Force has been demolished.
Austin–Bergstrom International Airport is served by 11 commercial airlines and their regional partners. As of June 2013, airlines served 41 destinations in the U.S. and Mexico.[22]

Former Eagle Jason Babin Sounds Off On Release
Posted by Matt Lombardo | 1 Comment »
Recently released former Eagles defensive end Jason Babin was released by the Eagles on Tuesday afternoon.
Less than 24 hours after the Eagles dropped their seventh game in a row, the Eagles began what is expected to be a lengthy shakeup taking place between now and the offseason on the defensive side of the football by releasing defensive end Jason Babin.
Babin, who's production fell off a cliff this season with a team leading 5.5 sacks after posing 18 and making a trip to the Pro Bowl in 2011, sounded off on ESPN Radio shortly after his release, making an appearance with Jonathan Coachman.
"One, any time you see "Andy Reid" come across your caller ID, you know it's probably not a good thing. But two, it was… all I could was, I laughed. I was like, "Alright, coach, if that's what you got to do." You know, it was just… I don't know, it caught me off-guard."
Meanwhile, former Eagles safety and current analyst on 97.5 FM The Fanatic in Philadelphia offered a differing viewpoint on Babin's release.
"The last time that the Philadelphia Eagles let a player go in a losing season," Brian Dawkins told ESPN. "When they need everyone on deck. The last guy that that happened to that I can remember, was TO. That tells me there's something going on in the locker room with Jason Babin that we will never know about."

Needs more outside lighting!

We stayed here for three nights with our two children and husband's parents. Slept us all comfortably. Place was very nice and clean. Wish there would have been a few more amenities (toilet paper for one). The pool area was out of towels and we were told they were only washed once a day so we were out of luck. The only major complaint I have is that the addresses are very poorly lit. We came in at night and had a very hard time finding our place. Plus, there were no signs telling us numbers of condos (ex. 1000-1100 with an arrow pointing).

My family of 5 had a great time on our trip to Florida (Disney). The condo is in a safe and beautiful resort type community. We were very busy, so didn't spend much time there, but it was nice having 2 1/2 baths, the pool was a welcome site after a long, hot day at Disney and it was great to be able to leave the parks for lunch or dinner and come "home" to eat in order to save money and eat healthier. The only recommendations I would make for travelers is bring your toilet paper and paper towels, only 1 of each in each bathroom is provided. :) WalMart & Target and grocery stores are super close by as well other touristy type stores. We also made a day trip to ClearWater which only took 1 1/2 hours! Disney was a 10 minute drive but most of that time is getting to your desired parking lot at Disney and there is $1.25 toll to pay on your way. The condo itself was wonderful, comfortable and spacious with lots of closet space and dressers to hide belongings so one doesn't feel like they are living out of suitcase, but rather at home in the tropics! We didn't have any problems so didn't need to contact Kathy during our stay, but I have never had a problem with her getting back to me right away and I booked our August Vacation in February, so I asked a lot of questions! I have talked to others who stayed in other places, including Disney resorts and when I explained our condo and our stay - they were jealous! :)

My family of 5 had a wonderful time. The Villa is very spacious, clean and the laundry room was very convenient. The villa is close to Wal-Mart , Disney world and the other attractions. The Kids love the heated pool after a long day at the parks. Kathy was very easy and prompt to work with. Thank you very much Kathy.

The property was wonderful and our family of 6 had a great stay. There was ample room for all of us to stay and the rooms had lots of closet space and each had an LCD TV. The kids loved that the unit had its own pool. The grounds were beautiful and the pools were great to spend a day at. The kitchen had everything that we needed to prepare and serve meals. Dealing with the owners was pleasant, even when we had troubles with our passwords to get into the complex and simple questions about operating the backyard pool, they were available to assist. The entire family would definitely stay at the complex again!!!

We enjoyed our stay at your condo. The place was clean and had all of the conveniences of home. There was a problem with wasp nests outside the front door, and the owner took care of the problem quickly. Thanks for a nice place to stay.
