Gating current kinetics in Myxicola giant axons. Order of the back transition rate constants Biophysical Journal, Volume 59, Issue 3, 1 March 1991, Pages 574-589 L. Goldman Abstract Gating current, Ig, was recorded in Myxicola axons with series resistance compensation and higher time resolution than in previous studies. Ig at ON decays as two exponentials with time constants, tau ON-F and tau ON-S, very similar to squid values. No indication of an additional very fast relaxation was detected, but could be still unresolved. Ig at OFF also displays two exponentials, neither reflecting recovery from charge immobilization. Deactivation of the two I(ON) components may proceed with well-separated exponentials at -100 mV. INa tail currents at OFF also display two exponentials plus a third very slow relaxation of 5–9% of the total tail current. The very slow component is probably deactivation of a very small subpopulation of TTX sensitive channels. A -100 mV, means for INa tail component time constants (four axons) are 76 microseconds (range: 53–89 microseconds) and 344 microseconds (range: 312–387 microseconds), and for IOFF (six axons) 62 microseconds (range: 34–87 microseconds) and 291 microseconds (range: 204–456 microseconds) in reasonable agreement. INa ON activation time constant, tau A, is clearly slower than tau ON-F at all potentials. Except for the interval -30 to -15 mV, tau A is clearly faster than tau ON-S, and has a different dependency on potential. tau ON-S is several fold smaller than tau h. Computations with a closed2----closed1----open activation model indicated Na tail currents are consistent with a closed1----open rate constant greater than the closed2----closed1.

Hybrid Stochastic and Deterministic Simulations of Calcium Blips Biophysical Journal, Volume 93, Issue 6, 15 September 2007, Pages 1847-1857 S. Rüdiger, J.W. Shuai, W. Huisinga, C. Nagaiah, G. Warnecke, I. Parker and M. Falcke Abstract Intracellular calcium release is a prime example for the role of stochastic effects in cellular systems. Recent models consist of deterministic reaction-diffusion equations coupled to stochastic transitions of calcium channels. The resulting dynamics is of multiple time and spatial scales, which complicates far-reaching computer simulations. In this article, we introduce a novel hybrid scheme that is especially tailored to accurately trace events with essential stochastic variations, while deterministic concentration variables are efficiently and accurately traced at the same time. We use finite elements to efficiently resolve the extreme spatial gradients of concentration variables close to a channel. We describe the algorithmic approach and we demonstrate its efficiency compared to conventional methods. Our single-channel model matches experimental data and results in intriguing dynamics if calcium is used as charge carrier. Random openings of the channel accumulate in bursts of calcium blips that may be central for the understanding of cellular calcium dynamics. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (220 kb) |
Near-IR absorbance changes and electrogenic reactions in the microsecond-to-second time domain in Photosystem I Biophysical Journal, Volume 72, Issue 1, 1 January 1997, Pages 301-315 I.R. Vassiliev, Y.S. Jung, M.D. Mamedov, Semenov AYu and J.H. Golbeck Abstract The back-reaction kinetics in Photosystem I (PS I) were studied on the microsecond-to-s time scale in cyanobacterial preparations, which differed in the number of iron-sulfur clusters to assess the contributions of particular components to the reduction of P700+. In membrane fragments and in trimeric P700-FA/FB complexes, the major contribution to the absorbance change at 820 nm (delta A820) was the back-reaction of FA- and/or FB- with lifetimes of approximately 10 and 80 ms (approximately 10% and 40% relative amplitude). The decay of photoinduced electric potential (delta psi) across a membrane with directionally incorporated P700-FA/FB complexes had similar kinetics. HgCl2-treated PS I complexes, which contain FA but no FB, retain both of these kinetic components, indicating that neither can be assigned uniquely to a specific acceptor. These results suggest that FA- reduces P700+ directly and argue for a rapid electron equilibration between FA and FB, which would eliminate their kinetic distinction in a back-reaction. In PsaC-depleted P700-Fx cores, as well as in P700-FA/FB complexes with chemically reduced FA and FB, the major contribution to the delta A820 and the delta psi decay is a biphasic back-reaction of F-X (approximately 400 microseconds and 1.5 ms) with some contribution from A-1 (approximately 10 microseconds and 100 microseconds), the latter of which is variable depending on experimental conditions. The delta A820 decay in a P700-A1 core devoid of all iron-sulfur clusters comprises two phases with lifetimes of 10 microseconds and 130 microseconds (2.7:1 ratio). The biexponential back-reaction kinetics found for each of the electron acceptors may be related to existence of different conformational states of the PS I complex. In all preparations studied, excitation at 532 nm with flash energies exceeding 10 mJ gives rise to formation of antenna 3Chl, which also contributes to delta A820 decay on the tens-of-microsecond time scale. A distinction between delta A820 components related to back-reactions and to 3Chl decay can be made by analysis of flash saturation dependencies and by measurements of kinetics with preoxidized P700.

Research Article
W.B. Ferguson, O.B. McManus and K.L. Magleby
Department of Physiology and Biophysics, University of Miami School of Medicine, Florida 33101–6430.
Single channel currents were recorded with microsecond time resolution from large-conductance calcium-activated K+ channels to examine the details of the opening and closings transitions. Analysis of averaged closing transitions indicated that the initial average conductance step for closing was to the 90–95% closed channel current level. Averaged brief closings (approximately 50 microseconds) reopened from the initial 90–95% level, whereas averaged longer closings (> 300 microseconds) closed completely from this level over the next 50–100 microseconds. The 90–95% initial closed level in the averaged current records resulted typically from the average of both complete and partial closings. From 45–80% of the initial closings were complete and 20–55% were to brief lifetime (approximately 50 microseconds) subconductance levels at 65–90% of the completely closed level. Averaged opening transitions were typically mirror images of averaged closing transitions. To extend the analysis to the very brief conductance changes that underlie the flickers of the single channel current toward the closed current level, flickers, brief closings, and longer closings were averaged separately and their slopes compared. The slopes were similar (within the 3% resolution of the method), suggesting similar initial conductance steps. Similar initial closing properties for both the briefer and longer closings would be expected if the channel first passed through the kinetic and subconductance states associated with the briefer closings (including flickers) before entering the longer closed states. Such transitions would provide an explanation for the observation that openings and closings often occur in two steps.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

TechCrunch features the latest Amazon Kindle advert today, which yet again shows Amazon having a bit of a pop at the iPad. It shows some poor, hapless woman trying to read her iPad-alike table in the window of a coffee shop, but shes having terrible trouble, because of the glare, you see! Then the very helpful young man shes sitting with offers her his Kindle, which, hey presto, she can read perfectly! Easy to read in bright sunlight goes the message in the ad, as if we hadnt quite grasped the subtle signs. Next we have lots of people running and jumping to show how light and portable the Kindle is, before the advert goes on to say that the Kindle has a battery life of up to a month. Somehow the advert forgets to mention thats because the Kindle is just a reader and nothing more! If I didn't turn my iPad on it probably wouldn't drain the battery much either. Yes, its nice to be able to read in direct sunlight, and to run around carrying one in your hand and act all acrobatic like you're a member of Cirque du Soleil, but can the Kindle run apps, or play music, or surf the internet? I think we all know the answer to that one!

TSA Union Urges Senate Homeland Security to Report Out Southers for TSA
Agency in desperate need of a strong leader, says AFGE
WASHINGTON, Nov. 17 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- On behalf of the approximately 38,000 Transportation Security Officers, and all federal employees, the American Federation of Government Employees today urged the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs to favorably report out the nomination of Erroll Southers to be assistant secretary of the Transportation Security Administration.
"TSA is in desperate need of a strong, knowledgeable leader to fulfill its incredibly important mission of ensuring safety for the flying public," AFGE Legislative and Political Director Beth Moten said. "The combination of Mr. Southers' education, experience and commitment to security and justice make him ideally suited to lead TSA."
"As the proven union of choice for TSOs across the country, AFGE looks forward to a swift approval for Mr. Southers so that we can work together to repair and turn around this agency," Moten added.
AFGE has represented the TSA workforce since the agency was created in 2001. The union currently has approximately 12,000 dues-paying TSA members at more than 100 airports in 35 union Locals nationwide.
AFGE is the largest federal employee union representing 600,000 workers in the federal government and the government of the District of Columbia, including tens of thousands of DHS employees in Border Patrol, Citizenship and Immigration Services, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Federal Protective Service, FEMA, Coast Guard and TSA.

Renovation of VA Clinic in Superior will better serve veterans
A multimillion-dollar project to make better use of space at the Twin Ports VA Outpatient Clinic is creating the opportunity to serve more veterans with a wider array of health services.By: Shelley Nelson, Superior Telegram
A multimillion-dollar project to make better use of space at the Twin Ports VA Outpatient Clinic is creating the opportunity to serve more veterans with a wider array of health services.
Next week, Veterans Administration officials unveil for the public the renovation project that was years in the making.
While the clinic never closed during the major renovation, the Twin Ports VA Clinic is celebrating a reopening from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. July 12 at the clinic adjacent to Essentia Health-St. Mary's Hospital in Superior.
VA and Essentia Health officials will make brief remarks, followed by tours of the renovated facility.
"The clinic was completely remodeled, said Dr. Clyde Markon, who oversees 12 VA clinics in the region, including the one in Superior. "We had a lot of space that over 20 years ago was probably well thought-out, but as times have changed, it turned out to be not used."
The renovation more than doubled the number of examining rooms available to serve a growing number of veterans that get medical services at the clinic.
Markon said when he started as the medical director at the Twin Ports clinic about eight years ago, the clinic served about 2,000 veterans. Now, almost 7,000 patients receive services there, growth driven by World War II, Korean and Vietnam-era war veterans with increasingly complicated ailments, and by current veterans entitled to free health care services for five years after demobilization.
The renovation also allowed expansion of services available to veterans.
"We now have an audiology department to help with hearing aid problems," Markon said. "We will almost certainly have two audiologists here."
The new facility features a soundproof room adjacent to a room where the audiologist would perform hearing tests.
The clinic also features two ophthalmology rooms where veterans can have their eyes checked.
Markon said veterans also will be able to get glasses onsite.
The clinic will have an optometrist and optician to provide the vision services veterans need, Markon said.
And veterans will no longer have to make the trek to the hospital or Duluth with the completion of the renovation project.
Markon said the clinic contracted with Essentia Health to provide physical therapy services locally, but those services are now available in the VA Clinic.
"Essentia did a great job, but the VA is no longer going to contract for services," Markon said. "It's just the way of the future."
Mental health services also are being expanded at the clinic and there will be a greater focus on women's health services. The clinic features examining rooms specifically designed to accommodate women.
The clinic has doubled space for procedures and completely revamped the onsite laboratory.
Another feature of the renovation is the ability to use technology to consult specialists nationwide from the Superior-based clinic through V-Tell, which links the Superior Clinic to the hospital in Minneapolis.
"There's very few specialists that can't be seen through V-Tell," Markon said. He said the Internet-based consultation equipment would allow patients and medical personnel to consult with any specialist in the United States.
The technology also allows staff to train with medical professionals at the hospital in Minneapolis without leaving Superior.

Rae Lewis-Thornton
Rae Lewis-Thornton Speaks
February 18, 2014 I learned something about myself this weekend that made me understand how far I've come in my thinking verses the application of what I know, as it relates to dating and sex.
Safe Sex for Valentine's Day
February 14, 2014 I've been blogging all week, and after sitting at my computer for hours trying to come up with something deep and profound to say on Valentine's Day, I actually drew a blank. Then it occurred to me that all I really want to say to you is, use a condom. No need to be extra in this last post in the series. I hope that I have given you lots to think about all week long and I hope that some of it will stay with you as you muddle through life and love.
Respect the Vagina!
February 13, 2014 It took me years to understand the worth of my vagina. When I was a young adult, I saw it as a tool to find and keep love.
The Dilemma of Dating Positive!
February 12, 2014 It occurred to me that sometimes I make dating with HIV look easy, but it's not by any stretch of the imagination. I started thinking about this after I received an email last night from a woman with herpes who is afraid to date.
Valentine's Day: When It's New!
February 11, 2014 When you first start talking to a guy you are always thinking about what's too soon and what's too much. You know, stuff like: How soon should I have sex with him? How often should we talk? If he doesn't call on one day, does that mean he's not thinking about me? If I call or text him first or often will he think I'm needy?
Valentine's Day: Loving Yourself 365 Days a Year!
February 10, 2014 It's Valentine's Day week and everyone is thinking about being "Booed up." You are either thinking about what you are going to do, what you are going to get, and how good the sex will be.
Introducing the 20 Collection for RLT Collection
February 7, 2014 2014 marks the 20th anniversary of my cover story in Essence magazine! I'm very proud of being a part of history. Together Essence and I gave black women a new face of what a person with AIDS looked like.
African-American 365 Health at Walgreens Corporate Office
February 5, 2014 Yesterday, I spoke at Walgreens for Black History Month at their corporate office. African-American 365 Health was a program focusing on health issues for African-Americans.
When Women Don't Listen to Men
January 28, 2014 The problem with women is we don't listen to what men tell us even when we hear them. Our inability to listen then turns into heartache. Let me break it down. Now hearing is a physiological act whereas, listening is a psychological act.
When God Shows Up
January 27, 2014 I know this to be true. My transparency either makes people love me or hate me. I remember after one blog post, where I admitted to dating a married man, a woman unfollowed me on Twitter because, as she put it, "I can't believe that you would admit to such a thing." I told her, "Don't make me lie or hide from my truths because you don't want to face yours head on." I speak truth to empower and be a tool for healing. |

Some responsibilities for disabled students include
Notify the School If you will need any accommodation, register with the Disability Resource Center (DRC).
Provide Documentation A student's responsibility is to provide professional documentation of his or her disability. The Disability Resource Center will be able to tell you what type of documentation is required for your specific disabilty.
Request Accommodation Determine your classes' requirements and possible needed accommodations.
Participate in securing Requested Accommodation Follow institutional rules, assist in locating service providers, inform DRC of any service problems (incomplete or missing notes, etc.)
Meet Academic and Conduct Standards You get no special treatment because you have a disability. You must still meet the essential requirements of a class or program and comply with the code of conduct.
Another student responsibility is that of self - advocate. Students must become adept at realistically assessing and understanding their strengths, weaknesses, needs, and preferences. Also, they must become experts at communicating this information to other adults including instructors and service providers.

Peru Walking & Trekking Holidays
No holiday to Peru would be complete without Trekking the Inca Trail. The Inca Empire made its home in the Andes and it is often said that Peru (and Bolivia) has a unique fusion of history and natural environment. For mountain lovers it is in every sense comparable with the Himalayas, but in addition it has an unrivalled historical impact that sets it aside from any other mountainous area in the world.
The Inca Trail is a 'must' for any walker and is the most famous trekking destination in South America.
It was constructed as a highway connecting Cuzco with the lost city of Machu Picchu. The original trail has been carefully and comprehensively restored, and although it can be quite busy at times, it is unquestionably the most rewarding way to travel to Machu Picchu, passing through wonderful mountain landscapes of Amazonian cloud forest and snow-capped Andean peaks. Though it is more than just a simple stroll, it should be within the capability of anyone who is in good health and fitness, and the rewards certainly justify the physical effort.
For a sneak preview of the delights of the Inca Trail, see our Google Earth video by clicking here:
If you do find that permits are no longer available for your chosen dates then take a look at our alternative Inca Trail trek - The Moonstone Trek.
This takes a higher route, well off the tourist path and offers remote walking past several recently discovered Inca and pre-Inca archaeological sites. And you still visit Machu Picchu at the end of the trek!
For the full story on this exciting new route, please click here!
Why travel with Exodus?
Award Winning Standards: The Peruvian Ministry of Tourism has cited our Peruvian partner, for the sixth consecutive year, as the 'Best Regional Adventure Travel Agent'. They share our goal to set the standard for sustainable, responsible tourism in the Andes and also provide our clients with the very best in organisation and support.
Porter Protection: We are of course fully committed to our staff and porters and ensure that they get a fair wage and are equipped to deal with any inclement mountain conditions.

New implementation of 1993 standard benchmark shows significant performance benefits from using object databases rather than object-relational mappers
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Sep. 26, 2006 - ODBMS.ORG, a vendor-independent, non-profit group of high-profile software experts lead by Prof. Roberto Zicari, announce that a new benchmark confirms significant performance gains from using object databases for persisting objects rather than object-relational mappers like Hibernate.
Researchers of the ESPRESSO Research Group at the Department of Computer Science, University of Pretoria in South Africa, P. van Zyl, A. Boake, and D. Kourie, have ported the OO7 benchmark from C++ to Java to test the performance of state-of-the-art object persistence solutions. The OO7 benchmark is the single most recognizable benchmark available in the industry and was provided by M.J. Carey in 1993, based on R. Cattell's OO1 benchmark from 1992.
The researchers consequently benchmarked the performance of the object database db4o (from db4objects) against that of the object-relational mapper Hibernate (from Jboss, now a division of RedHat). In 95% of OO7's predefined test cases, object databases provide performance far superior to object-relational mappers. For certain complex queries db4o was 5400% faster than Hibernate.
"By using a benchmark, it has been possible to compare and gain insight into the performance aspects of two object persistence mechanisms (object databases vs object-relational mapping to relational databases), as represented by two popular Open Source implementations (db4o and Hibernate)," wrote the researchers. "It was found that db4o's overall performance was better than that of Hibernate. Many of the test results seem to confirm our rules of thumb (here, that the overhead of object-relational translation causes ORM-based implementations to be consistently slower than staying in object form with an object database)."
Detailed results are included in the paper "027.01 Comparing the Performance of Object Databases and ORMs" which ODBMS.ORG publishes in an early version, available for immediate download. The paper was also submitted to the SAICSIT 2006 conference in Cape Winelands; a final version will be available in the near future on ACM and will include some final comments about transactions. The group's speaker, Pieter van Zyl, was invited to join ODBMS.ORG's panel of 80 internationally recognizable experts of object database technology.

October 30, 2003
Last night, the Timberwolves opened their season with a 95-89 win over the Milwaukee Bucks at the Target Center. It was fun to be able to watch the Wolves again. It was a little disappointing to see so many empty seats in the arena though. I just don't understand that at all! Opening Night! A new and exciting roster, led by the best all-around player in the NBA! How do they not sell out every game?
Kevin Garnett was terrific again. 25 points, 21 rebounds and 6 assists in 41 minutes. But, you could just see the leadership. Normally the point guard is the floor leader, but you can see him coaching on the floor. The part I was most impressed with was the way he talked to Mark Madsen. First, he was encouraging after a missed free throw. But then, coming out of a time out, you could hear on the telecast, Garnett coach Madsen, but at the end he said "I have a lot of confidence in you!" That's huge to any player.
Sam Cassell started off missing a lot of shots in the first quarter and ended the game 6 of 18 from the field. He hit his first shot 3 minutes into the 2nd quarter. But he distributed the ball well too, and he is very quick. Plus, he was 6-6 from the line. 18 points, 9 assists in 40 minutes.
Latrell Sprewell started out well. I knew he was a good defensive player, but I think I'll appreciate just how good he is seeing him play more. He's quick and has long arms. He hit some early shots, but didn't really have the touch much of the night. But he's able to do a number of other things and with this team, they can get scoring from other places. 15 points, 5 assists, 4 boards and a couple of steals in 41 minutes.
Those are the players we know what we can expect to see from night to night. But what about the question marks and role players?
Michael Olowokandi looked as though his surgically repaired knee was healthy. If he's not at 100% yet, it is exciting to think about how good he will be when he is. He has big size, good footwork and good shot, and he is aggressive when he's in the game, something that I don't think could be said of Rasho Nesterovich. I'm very encouraged by his performance. 27 minutes, 11 points, 9 rebounds.
Fred Hoiberg started at the shooting guard position. He didn't take a lot of shots (1-5), but he did a lot of the little things. Obviously, at some point, he will need to take and make more shots if he continues to start. When Wally Szczerbiak comes back, Hoiberg will be asked to do the little things off the bench. In 30 minutes, he had 3 points, 3 boards, 4 assists, a steal, a blocked shot, and some stitches.
Mark Madsen is awesome! No outside shooting ability, but what a force on the boards, especially on the offensive end of the court. Now even his numbers aren't staggering. 9 points, 4 rebounds in 28 minutes. But he was 4-5 shooting. He kept the ball alive on the offensive end so that other Wolves were able to get offensive rebounds. He plays an intense defense. And, well, I'm sure you saw The Dunk on all the highlight shows! That was impressive. Equally impressive was a low-post move for a reverse layup. He's fun to watch!
Gary Trent is huge. He's always been strong and a good rebounder. I think he's earned the right to take some shots too. When he was in there, he was aggressive, looking for his shot, and his teammates were looking for him. 14 points and 3 rebounds in 23 minutes.
Keith McLoud had an assist in his 9 minutes. No turnovers. That's good enough. That's all the minutes he'll play, and as long as he doesn't hurt the team, he's allowing Cassell some minutes of rest. Ervin Johnson played the final minute of the first half. Quincy Lewis, Ndudi Ebi and newly acquired Trenton Hassell all did not play.
The Bucks new coach is former Timberwolves player Terry Porter. Sam Mitchell is an assistant coach. Joe Smith had 14 points and 8 rebounds for the Bucks.
Keys to the win- The Big 3 all played well. Madsen, Olowokandi and Trent were all impressive. 15 Offensive rebounds including 5 by Garnett, 4 by Olowokandi and 3 by Madsen. Hit their free throws down the stretch.
Positives looking ahead - Sprewell and Cassell are capable of being better, which is exciting! Szczerbiak was put on the IR, so he won't play for awhile. I really hope he can come back healthy. With Wally and Troy Hudson, this team could be an elite team even in the Western Conference.
Next Game - Friday night at New Jersey at 7 o'clock on ESPN.
Any thoughts on the Wolves, last night's game or anything. Send me an e-mail and let's discuss it.
The hype was incredible! The Nike commercial set the stage. The new Sprite commercial was launched, and by the way, it too is hilarious! So, did Lebron James choke or freeze (As his Nike commercial mocks)?
Not at all! He was remarkable from the start. Unfortunately, the Orlando Magic and New York Knicks had to go to overtime, so the ESPN broadcast had to stay with that game for those 5 extra game-time minutes. By the time we could watch Lebron, 2/3 of the first quarter was done. But Lebron had already made his mark. In the first quarter alone, James had 12 points, 2 rebounds, 3 steals and 3 assists. For the game, James stat line looked like this: 43 minutes, 12-20 from the field, 1-3 from the line, 25 points, 9 assists, 4 steals, and 6 rebounds. 20 shots is a lot, considering that technically he started as the point guard, but nothing was really forced. He passed well. He defended. He even made outside shots. Quite an impressive debut under serious media scrutiny. Will he perform like this every night? Probably not, that isn't realistic. That said, the Sacramento Kings (oh, did I forget to mention that is the team that Lebron and his teammates played against) are a very good team, so that makes the numbers even more impressive.
So how did other rookies do? The Nuggets Carmelo Anthony, the third pick, scored 12 points and had 7 rebounds, but was just 4-15 in his 29 minutes, but the Nuggets surprised the Spurs, winning 80-72. Second pick, Darko Milicic didn't even play in the Pistons season opener. 4th pick, Raptors Chris Bosh had 24 minutes, 5-8 from the field, 11 points and 4 boards. My choice for Rookie of the Year was Dwayne Wade, formerly of Marquette. Well, last night he played 34 minutes and shot 2-12 for 5 points. He added four assists. However, his debut was on Tuesday night and in that game he played 41 minutes, was 8-18 from the field, with 18 points, 4 boards and 4 dimes.
So, what did you think of the Lebron James game? What are you thoughts on how he'll perform this year? Heck, what do you think of his commercials? That new Sprite one cracks me up! E-mail me!
I'm sorry to say this. OK, I'm not! Why does anyone talk to Jim Gray? I don't understand it. I remember when he first got on my nerves. It was when the All-Century Team was announced at the World Series a few years ago. Pete Rose was named to that team. Following an incredible, emotional ceremony, Gray interviewed Rose. Did he ask him about how exciting the night was, or what it meant to be named to the team? Did he talk baseball at all? No! He grilled Rose trying to get him to admit something. I was impressed with Pete Rose's constraint. I don't know how he didn't just level Jim Gray. I was also impressed that Chad Curtis, after hitting a big home run in that World Series, refused to do an interview with Jim Gray because of it.
If it weren't for Craig Sager, Jim Gray would be the worst NBA courtside interviewer. He asks terrible questions. He sucks up to the players. He usually talks for about a minute before he even gets a question out.
Now, Kobe should not have even taken Jim Gray's call. But, do you think when he call Kobe Bryant last week that he said, "Hey Kobe, talk to me, tell me everything so I can go on ESPN and look smart"??
Am I the only one that can't stand Jim Gray? And Craig Sager? Who else don't we like asking questions? Cheryl Miller is bad too, but nowhere near the level of incompetency shown by Gray and Sager. Send me an e-mail with you thoughts.
This really is a baseball site, as much as a basketball site, so I best discuss some baseball topics too!
Lew Ford broke his thumb playing winter ball in Venezuela. He will be out at least a month.
Here is JD Durbin's new journal from Team USA as they plan to head down to Panama for the Olympic Qualifying tournament. As he has done in his previous journals, Durbin answers a number of great e-mails. Durbin is joined on the USA team by fellow Twins prospects Jesse Crain and Joe Mauer. Justin Morneau made the Canadian National Team, which will take part in the same tournament.
Brian Wolfe also has a new diary entry now for you to read. In it, we find out more about Wolfe and the type of pitcher he is.
The list of Twins free agents grew by three yesterday as Rick Reed and Kenny Rogers became free agents. Reed wasn't healthy much of the season, which meant that he didn't pitch the necessary number of innings for his 2004 option to be picked up. The Twins chose not to pick up the $1 million option on utility infielder Chris Gomez, making him a free agent as well. The other Twins that are now free agents are Eddie Guardado, LaTroy Hawkins, Shannon Stewart, Denny Hocking and Jesse Orosco. Players eligible for free agency can file for free agency until November 9th. They can't talk with other teams until November 10th. What are my thoughts on these free agents?
Rick Reed - I hope the Twins have zero interest in bringing him back, even for a low salary. I can't see him making more than $1 million next season. My guess as to the team that he may end up with would be the New York Mets. That's where he had his best years in the big leagues. They've got problems and they've got money.
Chris Gomez - I could see him coming back to the Twins, but not for a million bucks. Maybe he'll be back for $600,000 again. He'll definitely surface somewhere. He's not a great player, but he warrants a shot at a starting role, and that won't happen (even if it should) with the Twins.
Jesse Orosco - I don't think he will, or should, be back with the Twins. I think we may have seen the end of the career of Orosco. However, my guess is someone will offer him a deal to pitch for them next year, at least in spring training.
Kenny Rogers - I would love to see Kenny Rogers come back as the 5th starter. His veteran presence is great, even if his 'stuff' isn't anymore. That said, if he doesn't come back, the Twins have plenty of other options for the spot. The Twins only paid Rogers $2 million for the 2003 season. Would he take less than that? If not, I don't know if he'll be playing at all in 2004.
Denny Hocking - He's a great utility player for any team. I think that if he were even willing to take a pay cut down to about $750,000, he would be worth keeping around. But, I think we all know that ideally, he would sign for a couple years with the Anaheim Angels.
Shannon Stewart - Many Twins people and fans want the Twins to resign Shannon Stewart so he can play LF and lead off for the team. I don't see that happening. First, he was a spark plug, but he has been injured in the past, and wasn't as head-and-shoulders above others that he's worth overpaying. He'll be courted by a lot of teams, including Oakland, Anaheim, and probably most teams that can afford a $6-$8 million LF.
Eddie Guardado/LaTroy Hawkins - They have said all the right things, that they want to play on the same team. I really don't see that happening unless it is with the Twins. But, are there teams that could use both of them, and could afford both of them. Definitely. The Mets have mentioned Hawkins as a closer and could use a veteran like Eddie. But I think there are three teams that 1.) could afford and 2.) could use both pitchers. The Yankees. The bridge from the starters to Mariano Rivera was not solid for the Yankees this whole season. They both could set up Rivera, or be insurance for injury, or just to keep Rivera fresh. The Braves had one of the worst bullpens in baseball last year. Again, they would be setting up John Smoltz, but with the elbow situation of Smoltz, they would both provide insurance. The third team, in my mind, that could land both, is the Chicago Cubs. They have the money. They've got the solid young starting staff, but either Hawkins or Guardado could take the closer role from Joe Borowski, or the three could be a very strong bullpen by committee. Now, all that said, I think that Hawkins will go to the Cubs, but I think the Twins will retain Guardado, just because I think his market will be more in the Twins price range.
What should the Twins do? When the Twins season ended, I wrote this posting about my thoughts on the 2004 Twins roster. The next week, I asked you to tell me what you thought the Twins should do in the offseason, and you definitely did a good job. What do you think the Twins should do with these free agents? Here is the list of free agents. Who should the Twins go after? E-mail me.
That's it for today! I hope you have a great Thursday! Don't forget Must-See-TV and Survivor are on tonight! E-mail me on anything you'd like to know!

Balmain Homme Spring/Summer 2010 Collection
We recently shared the pre-order for the Spring/Summer range of Christophe Decarnin's recently launched Balmain Homme and now we can give you a close view at the range with the full lookbook.
Decarnin has done great work making Balmain a relevant label again, and the recently launched menswear line is clearly based on his own personal style (see below), an unsophistocated mix of luxury, the skinny, ripped t-shirt and leather jacket indie rock look and a more urban and military inspired style. Worn head to toe it can a bit too much, but some of the individual items are impressive, with the leather jackets and military outerwear in particular really standing out. However, if your really into this look but cant stretch to fashion house prices its a look that could easily be recreated from vintage stores and one that I wouldn't be surprised to see being picked up by the mainstream pretty quickly this summer.

The recent recession kicked the millennial generation — those in their 20s and early 30s — in the teeth. Some wonder if they'll ever be able to own a home. Experts worry, too, especially because the housing market depends on young, first-time buyers.
The downturn began just as many young adults were entering the workforce. Americans ages 20 to 24 suffered a 12.9% unemployment rate in May. That was actually an improvement from 14.6% last year. (Bing: What's the rationale behind naming generations?)
A college education is supposed to give job seekers an advantage. But to get it, many took on loans that now prevent them from qualifying for a mortgage.
"Sobering" is how the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau describes the roughly $1 trillion that Americans owe on school loans, 67% of it owed by people under 40. Just over half of college graduates from 2006 through 2011 have full-time jobs, yet six in 10 have student loans with an average balance of $20,000.
First-time-homebuying years
In another time, Amanda Bate would have been a typical first-time homebuyer. She has always wanted to own a home. Now that she's 26, with interest rates and home prices at or near record lows, the time seems right. She went shopping this spring near her workplace in Birmingham, Mich.
Article continues below
"The housing market was so low. I thought, 'I could possibly get a house,'" she says.
The house she loved was listed at $80,000. The mortgage payments would have been about $500 a month, cheaper than the $610 a month she'd paid when she rented an apartment.
But the mortgage broker dumped cold water on her dreams. Even working a full-time job, plus a part-time job on weekends, and even though her parents have been helping pay her student loans, buying a home was out of the question.
For one thing, she'd need an $11,000 down payment. "I don't even have a savings account," she says.
But it's her student loans — $1,470 a month in payments on $123,000 in combined balances — that have made buying impossible. Bate earns just $30,000 as marketing director for a small media company.
She says she wishes someone had warned her. She now can't imagine when she can ever buy a home of her own. Meanwhile, she's living with her family, like one in five 25- to 34-year-olds, and "everything I have goes into those loans."
- On our blog, 'Listed': First-time homebuyers shut out in some cities
A generation struggling
Some experts see the double curse of unemployment and student debt as an ominous sign, not only for millennials but also for the whole economy.
- MSN Money: Are millennials saving the economy?
"Debt, coupled with double-digit unemployment, has hobbled millions of young adults who would have bought homes, married, had children and feathered their nests with all the middle-class goodies that keep our economy humming," demographer Cheryl Russell writes.
Tighter mortgage-lending requirements add to the trouble for young would-be homebuyers. The numbers paint a picture of a generation falling behind:
- 36.8% of people under 35 own homes, down from 43% in 2006.
- 61.4% of people ages 35 to 44 are homeowners, down from nearly 69% in 2006.
- Just 9% of people ages 29 to 34 got mortgages in 2009 to 2011, compared with 17% a decade earlier, even before home prices inflated and mortgages became easy to get.
- 40% of those with student loans have put off making big purchases such as homes and cars.
But Paul Ashworth, an economist with economic-research firm Capital Economics, says he isn't convinced that student debt will prevent millennials from eventually owning homes. Despite recent widespread concern over student borrowing, sketchy data make it hard to know if the proportion of borrowing is worse than in the past, he says.
At roughly $1 trillion, student debt is greater than outstanding auto loans ($730 billion) or credit-card balances ($693 billion). But it's unclear if that's a change, Ashworth says. "My big thing is, is it any different than it used to be?" he says.
Also, on the upside, six-digit student-loan balances like Bate's are unusual. Just 3.1% of borrowers owe more than $100,000. Most borrowers, 72%, owe less than $25,000. That's still sizable, especially if your salary is $25,000 or $30,000, and 14.4% of borrowers have missed at least one payment, so many clearly find their loans hard to repay. But it's equivalent to buying a new car — a big purchase, but one many young people manage.
There's no question, though, that many young adults are struggling.
"These were people who were most likely to be buying a home with very little equity at the very top of the boom," Ashworth says. "They would also have been the people who got whacked the hardest when the market turned down because they wouldn't have had the time to build up equity." That makes them more prone to foreclosure and negative equity.

Abstract: Epigenetic mechanisms are responsible for the regulation of transcription of imprinted genes and those that induce a totipotent state. Starting just after fertilization, DNA methylation pattern undergoes establishment, reestablishment and maintenance. These modifications are important for normal embryo and placental developments. Throughout life and passing to the next generation, epigenetic events establish, maintain, erase and reestablish. In the context of differentiated cell reprogramming, demethylation and activation of genes whose expressions contribute to the pluripotent state is the crux of the matter. In this review, firstly, regulatory epigenetic mechanisms related to somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) reprogramming are discussed, followed by embryonic development, and placental epigenetic issues.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- What I saw a few weeks ago made my jaw drop. Literally.
It might have been the exception to the rule, or it might signify a coming trend. I don't know.
What I do know is that the shock of seeing two white-tailed bucks with gigantic antlers still hasn't worn off, especially when one considers that I saw them in a part of the state where bucks' antlers almost never reach that size.
It was early July. I was on vacation with my wife and son, and we were riding a dinner train that had just passed through The Trough, a remote canyon that slices through the Allegheny Mountains of Hardy and Hampshire counties.
I'd been watching for deer and for bald eagles, and had seen several of each as the train rolled slowly through The Trough. All of the deer were "slickheads" - does or fawns. They also were what I call "suitcase deer," so small of stature they could almost fit into an average-sized piece of luggage.
Imagine my surprise, then, when one of the other passengers pointed out the window and shouted, "Holy cow! Look at that!"
Standing in a farmer's field about 50 yards from the tracks was a pair of bucks with antlers, still growing and still encased in velvet, that surely would qualify for the Division of Natural Resources' Trophy Buck Club.
Both of the racks appeared to have 10-point frames, and one of them appeared to have at least a couple of non-typical points. Judging from the bucks' outspread ears, which average about 15 inches, both racks appeared to have antler spreads in the 18-inch range.
What's more, both sets of antlers had nice, long tines. One buck might have had double brow tines, and both had really tall G2s and G3s.
And before someone calls me out on it, yes, I understand that antlers in velvet always look bigger. In late August and early September, when those bucks rub off the velvet and begin polishing the antlers themselves, the racks will lose quite a bit of mass and a little bit of height.
Still, though.

What piece of art changed your life? How did it affect you?
There are so many, but the ones that stick out in my mind are the following: hearing Charlie Parker's Verve Recordings; watching Spike Lee's Mo' Better Blues, and hearing John Coltrane's live performance of "My Favorite Things" on the 1965 recording, Selflessness. My father passed away when I was eight-years-old, and one of the things I did to cope with the loss was to methodically go through his record collection. He was a semi-professional trumpet player, so there were a lot of Maynard Ferguson LPs and even a recording of Haydn's trumpet concerto by Wynton Marsalis. But when I came across Selflessness—a recording my Mom had purchased, as it turns out—I was stopped dead in my tracks. There is so much about that live recording that is so special. The overall performance is exceptional, but the way that the recording captures time (1963), place (The Newport Jazz Festival), and people (John Coltrane, McCoy Tyner, Jimmy Garrison, Roy Haynes) is downright spiritual. I was touched and fascinated and listened to that 17-minute performance of "My Favorite Things" over and over again, for years.
Alto saxophonist Steve Lehman is one of the most innovative players in contemporary jazz. Like the label he records for, Pi Recordings, he simultaneously honors the music's progressive past and pushes it forward. He's done amazing work as a solo artist and with the band Fieldwork (which also includes pianist Vijay Iyer). Lehman's new disc, Dialect Fluorescent, is an excellent example of his prowess, with its bold originals and interpretations of pieces by Coltrane and Jackie McLean. You can catch Lehman's trio tonight night at Windup Space. It's a late show... starts at 11 pm.

NBA Feet: LeBron James – Nike LeBron X White/Red PE
December 11th, 2012 by John Kim | 3 comments
LeBron stays rocking the 1-of-1s as he was spotted wearing a variation of 'Home' LeBron Xs during last night's battle of the Southeast against the Atlanta Hawks. While we've yet to see a true Home-based colorway hit stores shelves, we do know that a similar colorway of the LeBron X is in store, so why hasn't LeBron worn 'em yet? Do you like this PE, his other White/Black 'Home' PE, or the upcoming general release the most? We've got a high-res gallery of NBA Feet below so take a look and stay tuned for another bit of NBA Feet coverage that went down in South Beach.

Convert Dynamic Disk back to Basic Disk without data loss
I like to share with you my method. I had a 400gb sata drive and xp wont see the data after install until you add it to Disk Management as a Dynamic Disk because it somehow it became a dynamic disk in the past. I not sure why. For it to be seen as a Basic Disk like all the rest of your drives you have to convert it to Basic but this means you lose all your data so say Microsoft. I didn't want to lose 400gb of data. Haha. So here's a hack to convert it to a Basic Disk without losing any data. It also means i can access the drive in dos properly too. Welcome... First download this great disk editor - No need to install. http://mh-nexus.de/hxd/ - Will also open disk images. By default it reads your disks Read Only so goto Extras - Options and untick 'Read Only by Default. Next goto Extras and select Open Disk and select the right Physical Disk of the drive you want to become Basic Disk. Once opened you see the first sector on display like so. It should read 42 at sector 0 location 1C2. Change it to 07(ntfs) and then click the save icon at the top to save back to the drive. Now reboot and run chkdsk drive: /f after. Thats it, it's now a Basic Disk. Basic Disk Storage Basic storage uses normal partition tables supported by MS-DOS, Microsoft Windows 95, Microsoft Windows 98, Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition (Me), Microsoft Windows NT, Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP. A disk initialized for basic storage is called a basic disk. A basic disk contains basic volumes, such as primary partitions, extended partitions, and logical drives. Additionally, basic volumes include multidisk volumes that are created by using Windows NT 4.0 or earlier, such as volume sets, stripe sets, mirror sets, and stripe sets with parity. Windows XP does not support these multidisk basic volumes. Any volume sets, stripe sets, mirror sets, or stripe sets with parity must be backed up and deleted or converted to dynamic disks before you install Windows XP Professional. Dynamic Disk Storage Dynamic storage is supported in Windows XP Professional, Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003. A disk initialized for dynamic storage is called a dynamic disk. A dynamic disk contains dynamic volumes, such as simple volumes, spanned volumes, striped volumes, mirrored volumes, and RAID-5 volumes. With dynamic storage, you can perform disk and volume management without the need to restart Windows. You cannot create mirrored volumes or RAID-5 volumes on Windows XP Home Edition, Windows XP Professional, or Windows XP 64-Bit Edition-based computers. However, you can use a Windows XP Professional-based computer to create a mirrored or RAID-5 volume on remote computers that are running Windows 2000 Server, Windows 2000 Advanced Server, or Windows 2000 Datacenter Server, or the Standard, Enterprise and Data Center versions of Windows Server 2003.Storage types are separate from the file system type. A basic or dynamic disk can contain any combination of FAT16, FAT32, or NTFS partitions or volumes. A disk system can contain any combination of storage types. However, all volumes on the same disk must use the same storage type. Last edited by markymoo : November 11th, 2007 at 06:45 AM. |
Re: Convert Dynamic Disk back to Basic Disk without data loss
I have a problem and hope you or someone can help me. We were changing a secundary (NTFS, not bootable) disk to another machine and it appeared in the winxp64 disk management as dynamic and foreign. I dont remenber why and when it became dynamic but anyway is was a simple and single volume in just one partition nad logical drive. in the context menu, Inadvertdly i click in the "convert to basic disk" instead of "import foreign disk" and the result is "F***" I hope i can anyway retrieve my data!! it became basic and with unallocated space, no partition. Then, we change the disk to other 2 diferent machines, in one it apeared as offline, in other apeared as basic with the space unallocated, we tried to convert it back to dynamic but no success, unalocated again. We dont want to create a logical drive because we are afraid of doing more things on it. Do you think we can find any way with any disk editor or partition recovery/rebuil tool that can make possible to recovery our files in there? We tried already with the Linux Rescue CD and it cannot see files. Can you help? Thank you Vitor |
Re: Convert Dynamic Disk back to Basic Disk without data loss
http://www.runtime.org/gdb.htm You can use the demo version to see if recovery is possible. Do not install it on the drive to are trying to recover. |
Re: Convert Dynamic Disk back to Basic Disk without data loss
Hi vbc
Sympathies, what you did was click the destruct button. Dynamic disks contain a 1mb database which is hidden at the end to keep track of the data and not in convential partition tables. When you converted it to basic you removed these tables and so it has no idea where the data is. Theres no benefits using dynamic in 99% cases unless you want more than 4 partitions. All i say is try to get it back theres a possibility. I used umpteen recovery s/w. My tried and trusted data recovery for extreme cases is WinInternals ERD 2003/5 Disk Commander which is on Administrator Pak which were bought up by Microsoft but comes with a hefty pricetag. It looks simple s/w on the outside but if theres a chance it will get back. This does a comprehensive full scan so it will take a long time. GetDataBack-ntfs that tgell suggested is a good one if it ntfs. It best you try a freeware one or trial to see if you can it back first before buying. You have to do a deep scan. Don't try to repair, rebuild the partition or alter the structure of the drive, just scan it first to see if it finds any data. http://www.data-recovery-software.net/ http://www.pcinspector.de/Sites/file...tm?language=1# Theres alot of good freeware hard drive utils on recovery cd collections on the web.

Re: Convert Dynamic Disk back to Basic Disk without data loss
I forgot to mention one other cracking recovery software. Active@ Undelete It will recover from dynamic disks and raid also. It will let you take a raw disk image of the corrupted drive and can put back the image if you mess up or want to experiment with different recovery options.

• Stress related to life's transitions such as adolescence, graduation, impending marriage, career change, moving, retirement, ageing.

First Taste: Don't (Just) Order Pizza at Flour + Water
Since the lines at Flour + Water showed no signs of abating, I finally just took the plunge and went. Despite F+W's best intentions to publicize the restaurant as not-just-a-pizza joint, early diner reports have focused on the pies because, well, that's what people do. I'm not here to tell you skip the very good pizza (and even if I did, I'm pretty sure you wouldn't listen), but I am here to tell you not to skip the rest of the menu. Because even if it's a uovo pizza you're after, topped with a golden-yolked egg, some of the finest things I tried did not come from the Mugnaini oven. A lovely prawn salad, for example, the three oversized fresh (as in not previously frozen) crustaceans resting on a summer salad of beans (wax and romano) with slivers of red onion and lots of herbs. Understated and light, it could become a summer staple (if only it were, say, $5 cheaper. But we're quibbling now...).
I had high hopes for the pasta, since chef Tom McNaughton worked at a "pasta laboratory" in Bologna and is very proud of his housemade creations. But the one that I tried the night I ate there—a hand-hewn orecchiette sauced with an oxtail ragout—was slightly gummy, the sauce tasting too sharply of uncooked wine. I regretted not ordering the red-sauced fusilli instead (practically everyone else in the restaurant had), and vow to return to sample more fully the offerings.
I let our server talk me into a cod entree and was once again reminded that sometimes trusting the professionals is a good thing—humble, lowly cod was expertly pan-fried and set on a creamy chickpea puree, drizzled with a brightly acidic artichoke vinaigrette and topped with a showering of brittle artichoke chips. This dish seemed the most Italian of the offerings I tried—ordinary ingredients brought to a higher plane, the whole better than the sum of its parts. It's on the merit of this dish that I'd recommend visiting Flour + Water. After all, these days you can get pizza almost anywhere.

Babbo Ristorante E Enoteca 110 Waverly Place, New York. (212) 777-0303
Yield: 4 Servings My kids both love to be in the kitchen, which makes it a lot of fun to cook for them. Although they're still a little too young to sauté mushrooms or dice onions, they're helpful nonetheless. Benno, who is almost three, will put on an apron and stand on a stool next to me, handing me things I need and asking questions. He's also a great help in tasting and adjusting seasoning. Leo, at age one, provides our entertainment while we cook, and likes to put dishes in the dishwasher - and sometimes take them out again.
Benno and Leo are a parent's - and a chef's - dream in that they really go for food that most kids their age wouldn't touch: spinach, goat's milk yogurt, raw sliced garlic, spicy sauces. The white bean bruschetta mixture I serve at PO is one of the first foods that Benno ever ate, and both boys still love it. They're also huge pasta fans, and the gnocchi with oxtails is a favorite. The soft bite of the gnocchi in combination with slow-braised meat makes an easy-to eat dish for young kids, even while they're teething! Ingredients:
Method: Preheat the grill or broiler.
In a mixing bowl, gently stir together the beans, olive oil, vinegar, red pepper flakes, rosemary, basil and garlic. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Spoon bean mixture onto 4 freshly grilled bread slices and serve immediately.

Gabe Garcia (left) and his friend and longtime lead guitarist Donny Geyer chill out on the deck at Losers in Nashville.
NASHVILLE — Last night, Lytle native Gabe Garcia and his longtime guitarist Donny Geyer were chillin' on the deck at their favorite watering hole in the Music City — Losers, a low-key spot owned by Erv Woolsey, who manages George Strait and Lee Ann Womack.
While talking songwriting and this week's upcoming writing partners, they also looked forward to this weekend, when Garcia will head out for his first gig on his own since hooking up with "Nashville Star" about three months ago.
It also will be the first time he and Geyer, the Pearsall native and Garcia's longtime lead guitarist who moved to Nashville about a month ago, will play together in public.
After graduating with a marketing degree from UTSA in May, Geyer left Pearsall to write songs in the Nashville and get ready to tour with Garcia when he sets off on his own. They are rooming together, too.
The show is country group Halfway to Hazard's inaugural Trail Ride for Charity in Crockettsville, Ky., on Sept. 21.
Instead of horses, though, the trail ride will be on ATVs, and Garcia and Geyer were looking forward to that almost as much as the gig.
"They're going to try to get in the Guiness Book of Records for having the most ATVs in one area," Garcia said. "That should be pretty wild."
The lineup will include Danielle Peck, Jeremy Popoff, Randy Houser and Whiskey Falls.
Last weekend, Garcia and the top four finalists on "Nashville Star" played their first concert in the "Nashville Star Tour," at the Argosy Casino near St. Louis.
"It was a lot of fun, and it went great," said Garcia, who is looking forward to the tour's stop at Josabi's on Oct. 24.
Geyer, meanwhile, will play guitar for a couple of dates in October with Pearl Heart, the sister trio that was a finalist on the NBC show.

Michigan State Law creates a student budget (also known as "cost of attendance") for each academic year. The student budget consists of direct costs (i.e., tuition and fees) and indirect costs.
MSU Law's "thrifty budget" below assumes that students have a roommate, do not have health-insurance expenses of their own, and rely on public transportation. Those whose personal situations are such that they are unable to rely on the thrifty budget may request additional loan assistance up to the amount of the standard budget (an additional allocation of $7,326) for the academic year.
MSU Law strives to minimize tuition increases. For the 2011/12, 2012/3, and 2013/14 academic years tuition was increased just 2% annually. Tuition for the 2014/15 academic year will be announced in April 2014. Tuition for 1Ls is calculated based on 29 credits, which is the proscribed number of credits for a full-time student. Students who enroll in fewer than 29 credit hours are charged on a per-credit hour basis.
