MINNEAPOLIS, MN— Inscape Publishing, a leading provider of assessment-driven classroom learning solutions, has launched Everything DiSC® 363™ for Leaders, the first 360 for DiSC® users. Everything DiSC 363 for Leaders is designed for organizations that want to use 360° feedback as part of its leadership development, whether they're developing the bench strength of emerging leaders or honing the skills of experienced executives.
For many leaders, 360s can be frustrating. Open-ended comments can be unfocused, unhelpful, and may even derail the learning process. Everything DiSC 363 for Leaders uses CommentSmart, an innovative and proprietary selectable comments feature that takes the sting out of the 360 experience by giving leaders focused, balanced feedback they can actually use.
"Anyone who has done a 360 with open-ended comments has either been burned or puzzled by rater comments," said Jeffrey Sugerman, CEO of Inscape Publishing. "Everything DiSC 363 for Leaders eliminates that; leaders get relevant, actionable feedback."
Everything DiSC 363 for Leaders is the fourth installment in the Everything DiSC Application Library. These programs feature personalized reports, customizable facilitation with engaging video, and access to unlimited follow-up reports. Other programs include Everything DiSC Workplace®, Everything DiSC Management and Everything DiSC Sales.

Development Dimensions International (DDI) announces the launch of Manager ReadySM, an online frontline leader assessment that combines the efficiency of a technology-driven process with insights of live assessors—leading to a realistic participant experience and in-depth insight into leadership capability and performance. This real world simulation provides organizations with critical information used to make decisions about who is ready for frontline leader roles and how people can develop in those roles to be more effective.
Through the use of a computer-based simulation that utilizes streaming audio and video, candidates experience a 'day-in-the-life' of a frontline leader and are given the opportunity to respond to problems and inquiries presented through open-ended emails, video voicemails, planning activities and problem-solving exercises.
These various data points contribute to a high-quality diagnosis of an individual's leadership capabilities, giving companies more than 900 participant performance data points that roll up to 9 critical core leadership competencies that determine how a global leader will perform on the job.
"Frontline leaders are more critical today than ever. They make the day-to-day decisions that make or break the business," Scott Erker, Senior Vice President of Selection Solutions at DDI said. "We hear more and more that they're not ready for the job the organizations needs them to do. Our goal, with this innovation, is to identify the gaps between what skills leaders have—and what skills they need to be successful."
Manager Ready incorporates the high-touch method of extracting real behaviors through simulations and trained assessors scoring those behaviors. In the past, this type of information would require a significant investment—Manager Ready provides high-value diagnosis at a fraction of the cost.
Unlike multiple choice tests where participants choose actions from a static list, Manager Ready participants respond in open-ended formats, allowing candidates to reply exactly as they would on the job. The advantage is that it is more realistic to participants and the responses are more reflective of how they handle challenges in the real world.
"This data has some teeth, which in an organization like ours is hugely important," said Tim Toterhi, senior director of global organizational design for Quintiles. "Part of the reason we like Manager Ready is that it gives us robust, fact-based data to help enhance the decision-making process for selecting people—either for promotions or for hiring them into the organization."
Manager Ready participants are scored on how they resolve conflicts with customers and coworkers or how they coach a direct report through a difficult situation. In turn, organizations receive insight into how the candidates perform in these tasks, and measure a participant's readiness for leadership across nine critical managerial competencies: Coaching for Success, Coaching for Improvement, Managing Relationships, Guiding Interactions, Problem Analysis, Judgment, Delegation & Empowerment, Gaining Commitment, and Planning & Organizing. These competencies were chosen based on more than 700 frontline leader job analysis studies conducted by DDI across the world as well as the millions of leaders trained and assessed by DDI over the last 40 years.
"Manager Ready gives organizations deeper insight into the strengths and development needs of their current and future frontline leaders, ensuring better hiring and promotion decisions and improved diagnosis for accelerating development," Erker said. "The bottom line is that organizations need to find leaders who are ready to take-on the challenges of the new economy."

We are one day away from April and there are two things I look forward to in April; Easter and the NFL Draft. The Chiefs enter the 2012 NFL Draft with very few holes to fill with really the only glaring hole(s) being at nose tackle and arguably quarterback. The Chiefs could pick really anyone they wanted with the 11th pick or trade down. I expect the Chiefs to draft a guy in the trenches with their first pick. The three candidates so far for the 11th pick are: Guard David DeCastro, nose tackle Dontari Poe, and inside linebacker Luke Kuechly. I am not being a homer, but the Kansas City Chiefs 2012 roster as of right now is stacked and finding a gem in this years draft could take Kansas City to the next level.
Round 1, Pick No. 11: David DeCastro, Offensive Guard, Stanford
This pick will ultimately come down to DeCastro, Poe, Kuechly, or trade down. I have been wanting the Chiefs to draft Dontari Poe for awhile now, but after reading and hearing about him, I realized that he would be a huge risk. David DeCastro is arguably the safest pick in the draft and reminds me a lot of the Eric Berry pick back in 2010. DeCastro is the best interior linemen in the draft and has Steve Hutchinson like potential. DeCastro would instantly make the Chiefs' offensive line among the best in the division and he would most importantly keep Matt Cassel on his feet.
Round 2, Pick No. 44: Josh Chapman, Nose Tackle, Alabama
With the Chiefs passing up on Dontari Poe in the first round, expect for them to look for a nose tackle immediately after their first pick. The Chiefs could go Josh Chapman or Alameda Ta'amu from Washington with this pick, but Chapman played on one of the best defensive units in the history of college football and Ta'amu played on one of the worst defenses in all of college football. I don't expect Chapman to start right away for the Chiefs, my best bet is that they bring back Kelly Gregg or sign Aubrayo Franklin to help groom their next nose tackle. Chapman is a tough, gritty player who played most of the 2011 season with torn knee ligaments and still played great. Chapman also has experience in the 3-4 defense, something not many recent Chiefs defensive linemen have had in recent years.
Round 3, Pick No. 74: Markelle Martin, Safety, Oklahoma State
Peyton Manning is now in the division and the Chiefs must add depth at all defensive back positions. Markelle Martin would do just that and more. Martin is among one of my favorite prospects in this years' class and has a ton of potential. Martin is a big, strong, and physical safety that would add a whole new element to the Chiefs defense. Martin gets physical when covering receivers as well as being one of the best run defending safeties in this class. With all of the blitz packages Romeo Crennel uses with his defensive backs, Markelle Martin would fit great in his defense.
Round 4, Pick No. 107: Nick Foles, Quarterback, Arizona
The Kansas City Chiefs have stated that they are going to try to give competition to every position on the field and quarterback is a must. Ricky Stanzi didn't do anything as a rookie and the Chiefs just brought in Brady Quinn, so adding another quarterback to that mix could be a possibility. Foles has great physical attributes and has a strong arm, but makes shaky decisions at times. Foles would compete with Brady Quinn for the number 2 quarterback spot.
Round 5, Pick No. 146: Shaun Prater, Cornerback, Iowa
Scott Pioli loves players from Iowa, they tend to be harder workers and smarter players coming into the NFL. Shaun Prater is a likely candidate to be that Iowa guy the Chiefs select this year. Prater had a pretty decent senior season with the biggest stat line having forced four fumbles as a senior. Prater also ran a fast 40 at the combine with a 4.47 time. Prater would add depth to the Chiefs' already talented defensive backfield.
Round 6, Pick No. 182: Cody Johnson, Fullback/Running Back, Texas
With the departure of Le'Ron Mclain, the Chiefs have lost their starting fullback. The Chiefs signed Peyton Hillis that has experience as a fullback, but will likely get a ton of carries at running back. The Chiefs drafted fullback Shane Bannon last year, but has yet to impress anyone in Kansas City. Cody Johnson was a great blocking fullback at Texas as well as being a great short yardage back, he could potentially fill the holes left by Le'Ron McClain and Jackie Battle. Oh, and he wore number 31 at Texas, remember the last guy the Chiefs had who wore number 31 at Texas?
Round 7, Pick No. 218: Adrien Cole, Inside Linebacker, Louisiana Tech
The Chiefs have one of the best inside linebackers in the game right now in Derrick Johnson and a solid inside linebacker in Jovan Belcher , but the one thing Chiefs lack at inside linebacker is depth. Adrien Cole was the WAC conference player of the year in 2011 and could be a potential late round steal.
Round 7, Pick No. 238: Dan Hoch, Offensive Tackle, Missouri
With the Chiefs' last pick in the draft they go with local missouri product Dan Hoch. With the addition of Eric Winston the Chiefs have one of the best offensive tackle duos in the NFL. The Chiefs need depth at offensive tackle and Dan Hoch would do just that. Hoch is big standing 6'7 and weighing 315 pounds and would likely be a backup right tackle for the Chiefs. Hoch could also move inside and play guard if needed.

Children to 'takeover' council
9:09am Tuesday 13th November 2012 in News
CHILDREN will be invited to see what it takes to keep the county ticking on November 23.
Cheshire East Council (CEC) is opening its doors to young people as part of the Government children's commissioner's Takeover Day.
The event gives youngsters the chance to get involved in decision-making and experience the world of work, while adults are encouraged to listen to children's fresh perspectives on what they do.
Children visiting CEC will have the chance to shadow senior officers for a day, and see for themselves what is involved in the day-to-day running of a local authority.
The scheme is open to anyone aged between 13-19 years.
Some young applicants will also get the opportunity to support the running of youth hubs in Crewe.
Young people wanting to get involved can pick up a form from their career adviser at school, from the Youth Support Centre in Crewe at 23-25 Market Street, or by emailing: email@example.com.
Further details of the Children's Commissioner Takeover Day can be found at: www.childrenscommissioner.gov.uk

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - We have one Low Performer this week, but let's start at the top. We have a heaping helping of perfect scores in Food For Thought; we go inside the kitchen of a Top Performer to see how they keep clean.
"We have great employees, we've got years of experience, and you know Caprock's been open for about 14 years now" Caprock Cafe at 3405 34th Street's manager, Kim Cargill, says. "This is our 8th perfect score in a row so that's kind of exciting for us" Cargill says. The constant flow of customers helps them keep clean, "nothing stays stagnant for any amount of time and good rotation, we're on a schedule so we maintain our cleanliness along the way so when our health inspector comes, it's just business as usual". "It's a huge priority, when you're in business you want to make sure people can come to a safe place to eat. They're spending their money so we really want to make sure that's absolutely at the top level" Cargill says.
Also at the top is Wild Burger Grille at 3515 50th, Mama Josie's Kitchen at 5719 66th, and Orlando's at 6941 Indiana. To this week's only Low Performer, Stripes at 202 50th Street had 7 critical violations. Carne guisada was not cooled properly. Beans and potatoes were not at the safe hot temperature. Employees were not washing their hands when returning to work or before putting on gloves. Employee's drinks were in a cooler. Raw sausage was stored over tortillas and bacon, and raw eggs were stored on boxes of hot dogs. Cleaners were stored with food items. The nozzles on the cappuccino machine were dirty and dirty utensils were touching oven mitts. To see a complete list of this week's reports click here.

TAYLOR COUNTY, KY (WAVE) - A church gathering at Green River Lake in Taylor County turns tragic this Mother's Day after 19-year old Jose Zambrano drowns. "He loved my mother very much, he was the baby of the family," his sister, Idania Guarneros told us in Spanish. Some of the kids were cruising the water on floaties. When they got too far, Zambrano jumped in bringing them to shore. "He went for the kids," Guarneros said. "That was something honorable. He didn't think of himself, he was looking out for his nephew," she said. Zambrano went back into the water to grab a floatie that drifted away when he started struggling. Three others, including his father, tried to reach him but couldn't. His sister said their mother and father are devastated.
[PREVIOUS STORY: Teen disappears from church outing, body recovered from Green River Lake] Crews scoured the lake for four hours before finding him 50 feet away from the shore in 20-foot-deep water. Officials have seen this here before. They warn that even great swimmers can find themselves in danger. "One of the main things that happen is that they start having cramps and they can't perform the swimming actions that they need to swim and then they get panicky and get into distress," Taylor County EMA Spokesman, Ronnie Dooley explained. Zambrano had just graduated from Marion County High School last year. He enjoyed singing and playing guitar. His sister said he strived to be original and always wanted to make others laugh."He was a sweetheart," she said. "He never messed with anyone. He was the best. He had many talents." Guarneros told us that their mom had surgery this past week and Jose had even offered to pay her medical bills for her just to help out his mom. She says the family is all together trying to offer each other support.

Does American Science have a "paranoid style"?
David Engber explores this question in a three-part series for Slate magazine that may be of interest to FHSA members. Engber traces the manufacture of uncertainty about science through a number of examples, ranging from intelligent design, industry-sponsored research, and environmental activism. He connects this trend to Richard Hofstadter's discussion of the "paranoid style in American politics." Sage Ross has an interesting assessment of moderate versus immoderate doubt about science from a history of science perspective.

American Science Live!
The history of American science as a field has certainly grown by leaps and bounds since the 1970s, but how much has that history filtered into the public consciousness? I've been pondering this question because Isaac Newton just came to my small town as part of his latest FMA Live tour. Who knew that "Newt" was so cool? His website is great fun, including a brief history of Newton's career that ends with "Thanks, Newt. Props to you for being the Man Behind the Motion!" This program is sponsored by Honeywell and is aimed at getting middle-schoolers excited about science. My question, then, for members of FHSA, is which American scientist should be next to go on tour? Ben Franklin? Rachel Carson? Alexander Dallas Bache? T.H. Morgan? Maria Mitchell?

Spotlight on Talent from around the World:
Lambert "Nike" Kabwar and Erika Sanchez
University of Wyoming students Lambert "Nike" Kabwar and Erika Sanchez recently participated in the International Student Talent Show held at the Arts and Sciences Auditorium. They performed "Estello Libre." We asked them to tell us about their University of Wyoming experience.
Lambert "Nike" Kabwar
What made you decide to come to the University of Wyoming?
To be honest, I did not know about UW until I got admitted for its undergraduate chemistry program. It is not until I discussed with local students that I realized how affordable the university was compared to others in the area. Beyond this, Wyoming or at least Laramie is very welcoming. The school offers an outstanding-quality education and is so full of opportunities that I am not regretting a single minute spent here.
Where do you come from originally?
I am from the Democratic Republic of the Congo in Central Africa.
How has your experience been at UW?
I have had a wonderful experience at UW. I am graduating at the end of this summer and am already regretting to leave Laramie soon. One thing that has always amazed me at UW is the way instructors treat students. Sometimes the class looks too large for a professor to even care about a single student, yet most of them show that they do and sometimes know a good portion by name. Another thing is the instructor's consideration and willingness to explain the course materials no matter how you are doing in the class. Throughout my years at the university, I have been constantly impressed by how nice and approachable instructors were, to the point of still keeping a good memory of them, even when I sometimes ended up not doing as well as I wished. To finish, I LOVE the fact that the university promotes a large variety of student clubs to allow student voices to be heard through multiple events hosted throughout the academic year.
What is your major?
My major is chemistry.
What do you think of the multicultural aspects of the University?
I am appreciative to the multicultural aspect promoted by the university. I believe it makes every student, staff, and faculty member feel home. Go pokes!
What can you tell us about yourself?
After four full years at UW, I have been able to turn into a real cowboy, unlike my original wish [smile]. I always feel ready to cowboy-up and stay "jazzed" to enjoy my classes and other tasks. I consider my experience at the University of Wyoming as exceptional because I managed to take the most out of what the institution offers. Getting involved with student clubs related to my major and my cultural background has opened my mind and has helped me avoid a stressful college life.
Erika Sanchez
What made you decide to come to the University of Wyoming?
I heard the University of Wyoming had a great elementary education program.
Where do you come from originally?
Mexico City
How has your experience been at UW?
I love the campus and all the student activities that are provided for the students. My experience has been very satisfactory
What is your major?
What do you think of the multicultural aspects of the University?
I think it's fantastic!
Tell us about yourself.
I am very shy, I love to dance, work out and play volleyball. I have been living in Wyoming for 6 years and my whole family lives in Jackson Wyoming. I have a brother and sister and I'm very close to my family. My favorite food is Chinese and I could never be a vegetarian.

I've been getting good hair growth results this time on my 2nd natural hair journey. I really believe it's because this time my regimen has been as simple as it gets. Once my hair had just enough length for me to twist, I started keeping my hair in twist sets for 2 weeks at a time (now they can last up to 3 weeks using different styles in between sets). Protective styling has been great for me. It makes my hair more manageable and it keeps my hands out of my hair lol! Low manipulation of the hair is helpful for retaining length and for me it leads to less shedding and breakage.
My 1st time 'going natural' I was a product junkie. I tried everything on the market. Aside from that, I was constantly handling my hair…and straightening it about once a week. Needless to say, I experienced just as much damage I had when getting relaxers.
Here are my two-strand twist set tips (try saying that fast 3 times lol)…
- Twist on damp hair. (I've tried twisting on wet and dry hair. Wet holds well but shrinks. Dry gives a bit more length but ends with stiffer twist. Damp hair gives me the best of both worlds…some length and moisture for better hold and curly ends.)
- Use a styling product with a pudding/custard consistency. (results in moist twists with a soft, non-crunchy hold)
- HORSESHOE PARTS!!! (This should be the 1st tip. Horseshoe shaped parts give you a fuller, less scalpy look. Box shaped parts=lots of scalp showing…unless that's the look you're going for. *Disclaimer: Hair density plays a roll in full twist sets too. If your hair is thinner your scalp will show more than a person with thicker hair.)
- Twist in the direction you want your hair to fall. (Ex. If you want bangs twist hair to the front instead of to the back.)
- Have a rat tail comb nearby to detangle ends of twists. (just before finishing twists, lightly detangle ends of hair)
- Twirl ends of each twist around your finger for finishing touch. (When you almost reach the end of each twist, twirl the ends of your hair around your finger to form a curl. This keeps twists from unraveling and makes for a cute, defined twist out.)
- Take a hot shower without a shower cap. (This may sound crazy, but I love it. It plumps up my twists and serves as my daily moisturizer treatment. Once I get out of the shower I rub a little leave-conditioner through my twists, seal with the oil of my choice, and I have soft fluffy twists for the rest of the day.) ***Don't rinse your twists or get your hair sopping wet. Let the steam from the shower moisten your hair.
Next time, I'll share how I get different styles out of my twist sets. Do you have any twist set tips? Please feel free to comment and share :-).

DALLAS (AP) - Dallas police say a meeting allegedly set up for a drug deal ended with one person shot dead and another in critical condition.
Police say two men met Monday just before midnight near a Dumpster at a north Dallas apartment complex.
Police say Garrett Branch and Sean Green exchanged gunfire. Green was hit several times and died at an area hospital. Branch was taken by several people to another hospital.
Before entering the hospital, police say Branch gave a loaded magazine to a witness and a pistol to another person, who left it near some bushes by the emergency room.
Police later found the magazine and the gun.
Branch is charged with capital murder. He remains hospitalized and did not have an attorney listed Tuesday morning.

Semolina is called smida (pronounced "smeeda") in Moroccan Arabic. Although semolina is famously used to make pasta or couscous, it also makes a very flavorful, chewy bread.
Moroccan Semolina bread – or khobz dyal smida – is easy to prepare. Like Moroccan White Bread, it's perfect for sandwiches, breakfast, tea time or serving with tagines. I like to use half semolina to half white flour, but adjust this ratio to your own preference. The more semolina you use, the more yellow in color and chewy in texture the bread will be. Delicious!
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Rising time: 1 hour
Total Time: 1 hour, 45 minutes
Yield: Two 8" to 9" loaves
- 2 cups fine semolina
- 2 cups white flour
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon yeast
- 2 to 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 to 2 cups warm water
- additional flour for kneading
- fine or coarse semolina for dusting the loaves
Prepare two baking sheets by oiling the centers, or by dusting the pans with some coarse semolina.
Mix the semolina, white flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Make a large well in the center of the flour mixture, and add the yeast.
Add the oil and 1 1/2 cups warm water to the well, mixing to dissolve the yeast first, and then stirring the entire contents of the bowl to incorporate the water into the flour.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, and begin kneading the dough. If necessary, add flour or water in very small amounts to make the dough soft and pliable, but not sticky. Continue kneading for 10 minutes, or until the dough is very smooth and elastic.
Divide the dough in half, and shape each portion into a smooth circular mound. Place onto the prepared pans, and cover with a towel. Allow to rest for 10 minutes.
After the dough has rested, use the palm of your hand to flatten the dough into circles about 1/4" thick. Dust the top of each loaf with some fine or coarse semolina, gently pressing the grains so they stick to the dough.
Cover the loaves with a towel, and leave to rise about one hour or longer, until the dough springs back when pressed lightly with a finger.
Preheat an oven to 435°F (225°C).
Poke the dough with a fork in several places. Bake the bread for about 20 minutes – rotate the pans about halfway through the baking time – or until the loaves are nicely colored and sound hollow when tapped. Transfer the bread to a rack or towel-lined basket to cool.

One of the country's most eligible bachelors, has gone and un-Clooney'ed himself. Duncan Jackman. Hitched. An honest man, at last
'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2' was picked as last year's worst picture Saturday by the Razzies, an Academy Awards spoof
"He's going to be a tough character to say goodbye to"
A newly reunited Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson joined co-stars for the red-carpet premiere of the penultimate Twilight film
The Part 2 price of admission might be worth it just to see vampire Bella racing through the woods after prey and smacking around Jacob, who has "imprinted" on her child.
Not exactly the salacious condemnation some were hoping for but.
This year Pattinson beat out the likes of Johnny Depp, fellow Twilight star Taylor Lautner and Ryan Gosling.
Stewart and Robert Pattinson have rekindled their relationship just in time for some junkets!
The pair moved out of their shared L.A. home shortly after the Stewart-Sanders affair broke earlier this summer.
An anonymous source who is apparently friends with the "hunky actor" (that's Pattinson) "thinks they'll be a couple again."

"My very first smartphone is the best smartphone"I have joined the 'smart-phone' generation finally. A 30-year IT veteran taking this long to finally join what all and sundry are moving to now in mass, may seem surprising. I am certainly not a bleeding-edge person like I was in my younger days where I enjoyed having my PDA to stay organised in the 1990s.

Atlas Therapeutics MYO-T12 Myostatin Modulator (Fecunded G. Gallus Domesticus Isolate) - 300 g
MYO T12 Myostatin Modulator is clinically tested and validated to reduce average serum myostatin levels in only 12 to 18 hours with just a single serving! MYOT12 Myostatin Modulator has been engineered to modulate the bioactivity of a natural regulatory protein called myostatin. Myostatin acts to inhibit muscle growth and recovery. MYO-T12 Myostatin Modulator is manufactured to optimize biological activity and has been clinically validated, demonstrating the product's potential to redefine existing standards of physical enhancement.
In clinical trials, MYO-T12 Myostatin Modulator reduced the Myostatin levels of participants by an average of 46.4% within 12 hours of taking the first dose. Myostatin levels of participants returned to their pre-use levels within 24 hours of ceasing product use. Because the therapeutic effect is reversible, users of MYO-T12 Myostatin Modulator are able to derive the benefits without the side effects of permanent inhibition.
What Is Myostatin?
World's First Clinically Validated Natural Myostatin Inhibiting Dietary Supplement
Advanced science is breaking down the genetic barriers that stand between you and your ideal physique. Recently, scientists have made great strides toward engineering a mechanism that modulates your body's production of a genetic protein called myostatin which functions to restrict muscle mass increase no matter how hard you train.
Noq MYO-T12 has emerged as the first and only product of it's kind with the potential to legitimately reduce serum myostatin levels. This technology, a naturally derived compound subjected to sophisticated multi-step handling process that maximizes ingredient stability and optimum biological activity, has now been validated in a clinical study that has documented an average serum myostatin reduction of 46% with single serving.
The implications of this quantum leap forward in the understanding of the physiology of the myostatin among study subjects and the ability to control and regulate it at the cellular level cannot be underestimated. By virtue of it's unique mechanism of action, MYO-T12 has the potential to redefine existing standards of physique enhancement.
How MYO-T12 Works:
Myostatin Blood Levels In Male Subjects Increase With Aging
Colker, C; Peak Wellness, Inc., Greenwich, CT
Myostatin is a blood protein that inhibits the growth and differentiation of skeletal muscle. From our prior research in the field and testing numerous subjects over the years, we casually observed that myostatin levels were consistently higher the older the test subject. This observation fits in with the established norm that older people tend to lose lean muscle mass and gain fat as they age. As such, it would seem logical and intuitive to conclude that myostatin levels would climb proportionately with age. So with currently no agreed upon reference ranges, this brief observational study was performed to establish the first quantitative look at normal ranges while confirming our observations that serum myostatin does truly rise with age. We randomly selected three healthy male subjects ages 30-35 and three healthy male subjects ages 50-55. Serum myostatin levels were measured in all subjects. Among the younger age group of 30-35, the average serum myostatin level was 25.63pg/ml (24.2, 26.2, and 26.5). In sharp contrast, the older age group of 50-55, the average serum myostatin level was 30.33pg/ml (27.5, 29.8, and 33.7). In conclusion, our findings support the concept that blood myostatin levels increase with age and the physical deterioration (muscle wasting and increase in body fat) that accompanies aging.

The Randolph County Sheriff's Department responded to an ATV accident Tuesday night.
At approximately 10:17 p.m., William White, 31 of Montrose, was traveling south on Clifton Run Road in Randolph County when he lost control of the ATV. The ATV then hit an embankment. White was thrown from the ATV and landed in a ditch, according to the sheriff's department.
White was pronounced dead at Davis Memorial Hospital.
Randolph County Sheriff Mark Brady said White was not wearing a helmet.
Alcohol and speed are also believed to be factors in the accident, according to Sheriff Brady.

While many employers have a good understanding about state withholding taxes and reciprocity between the states, there are usually a lot of questions about where to pay the unemployment taxes.
When employees only perform services in one state, the employer pays unemployment taxes to that state. But it gets more complex when an employee works in more than one state. Paying the incorrect state unemployment agencies could mean paying double taxes in some states and/or penalties and interest in another state.
Employers can use the following factors to determine the state to which an employee should be "allocated" for unemployment insurance purposes. Once a worker satisfies any part of the criteria, no subsequent parts should be applied and the unemployment should be paid to that state.
- Are services "localized?" An employee's services are localized within a state if services performed outside the state are merely incidental to services performed inside the state. If an employee's services are localized, the employer is subject to the unemployment insurance law of that state for the employee and the other allocation factors need not be considered.
- Does the employee have a "base of operations?" When an employee regularly works in more than one state (no localization), the employer should determine if the employee has a base of operations in one of those states. If the employee has a single base of operations in a state where he or she works, that state's unemployment insurance law governs.
- Is there a "place of direction or control?" If the employee's work is not localized and there is no base of operations, the next factor to consider is whether there is a place of direction or control in one of the states where the employee performs services.
- Where is the employee's "state of residence?" In those relatively rare instances where none of the three previous factors can be applied, the state where the employee resides has jurisdiction if the employee performs some work in that state.
- Interstate reciprocal coverage? When no tests apply? Nearly all states participate in reciprocal coverage arrangements allowing employers to choose the state of coverage for certain multi-state workers who regularly move from state to state. Under this arrangement, the employer can choose to cover the entire service of the employee in:
- Any state in which the employee works;
- Any state in which the employer maintains a place of business; or
- The employee's state of residence
Unemployment is typically determined quarterly and most state unemployment agencies have a catch-all statement that, "if the wages paid to the employee are covered under the unemployment insurance law of another state then you should NOT count them towards their state." As always, be sure to check with each state's unemployment law.

Drawing from a background in comparative literature and mythology, Petty studies Tolkien's major works: The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and The Silmarillion, along with short stories, academic essays, and letters to put his legendarium into perspective. Along the way, she offers insights into the major themes of Tolkien's literature writing in a style that is both readable and memorable. She also delivers recommendations for further reading in Tolkien. As we start our search for meaning in the Tolkien's land of heroes, we are transported to an imaginary world, created by Tolkien as "an epic mythology for England" to replace the myths lost by Norman invasion.
From Darkness
Out of our darkest nightmares, they come: monsters both terrible and evil. Tolkien's world includes the most horrid and deadly of beasts with dragons like Smaug, orcs, specters, the dwimmerlasik, and spiders like Ungoliant. Drawing from Tolkien's essay on "Beowulf," Petty explains that monsters are "the means by which the poem... achieves greatness of tone and spirit." The hero must be tried and tested through the darkest of horrors, so that we can gain a true understanding of the character's courage and strength.
With his mindset tinged with shadows from war-time experiences, Tolkien fills his stories with examples of monsters who push the characters to what they think is their breaking points, and then each one of them finds some way to persevere against all odds. All of these examples show how monsters "push the story beyond mere sword and sorcery adventures and into the realm of myth."
A Never-ending Search for Light
"One of the chief weapons of evil is despair," as Petty explains, so it's easy to see why Tolkien drives his characters to despair, with hope "a tenuous commodity."
Petty calls this book "an essay on the resilience of the human spirit." We have an amazing ability to carry on, despite seemingly overwhelming obstacles in what Galadrial called "the long defeat." Even when evil threatens to overwhelm the heroes with monsters, terror and ultimate defeat, the heroes fight on, "hoping only to meet death with honor."
In the end, hope offers them much more than an honorable defeat. While some die, and some are left in terrible agony, our surviving heroes are left with the realization that they have fought a good fight, and they leave the reader with something more important than that.
Timeless Classic
As Petty explains, "Lurking behind tragedy is a reaffirmation that order can be reestablished and a hope that tomorrow the world will be better." Beyond a readable, insightful addition to Tolkien scholarship, Petty's book offers reasons why Tolkien's works have remained so popular after all of these years. His heroes find hope, even as the world is falling apart around them.
Of the vanished past, Petty says, "We want to experience in our own lives the Undying Lands or the remnant of them that can still be accessed through fantasy."

Progress Kentucky's attack on McConnell's wife is meant to appeal to people who are racist. That's what Democrats think of Kentuckians.—
Chris Forewit (@forewit) February 26, 2013
Bingo. Scratch a progressive, find a racist. It's a little something called projection. Want to know what a liberal thinks? Just look at what they accuse others of thinking. It's also a case of the ignorant belief that all people who bitterly cling to living in the South are as racist as they are. Hey, Progress Kentucky, if you want to see an actual racist, you need only look in the mirror.
This woman has the ear of @McConnellPress — she's his #wife. May explain why your job moved to #China! rense.com/general77/raci…—
Progress Kentucky (@ProgressKy) February 14, 2013
Wow. Absolutely disgraceful. "Senator McConnell? He's married to one of those Chinese women." Despicable and, yet, there's more. The article they link to is from a conspiracy site, as WFPL reports. Hey, nothing like adding a little cuckoo pants to the race-baiting mix, huh? That wasn't the only contemptible tweet.

That's right. A spokesman also said the following:
Chris Morrison, a spokesman for Progress Kentucky, acknowledged that some of their tweets may "have crossed the line" and offended some Kentuckians, but he insisted that "it's fair to question whether or not there's a conflict of interest."
Sorry if they offended some Kentuckians. You know, the non-racist ones whom they think don't really exist. It's a fine line … wink wink, nudge nudge.

Hey guys, not here to troll or cause problems or whatever, I just have an honest question: how is Jerry Jones still making football personnel decisions? He's an old, rich man who has failed in each of the past 15 years, if the goal is to win a SB. It's hard to feel sorry for Cowboy fans sometimes, honestly, but you do have my sympathy in this regard.
I must admit I'm pretty ignorant on this subject, but does JJ have any unbiased, objective advisers in this regard (who aren't his sons or grandsons)? Has there ever been a fan movement to get him to step down from this capacity, and hire a real football GM? Would a fan movement have any chance of succeeding?
Did Jerry Jones cede power to Bill Parcells while he was in Dallas? It just makes no sense to me, when you look at NFL teams, and they're structured with highly qualified, and knowledgeable scouting departments, GMs, directors of player personnel, and the Cowboys, a prestigious franchise although I hate to admit it, are stuck with a meddlesome old man so out of touch with reality that he personally went down to the sideline during the Eagles game to tell JG5000 (I have to admit, it's catchy) to bench Romo.
It seems to me, as an outside observer, that the controversy and debate over whether Romo is the right guy, is sort of a distraction, so that the real question is not asked: "Why are we supposed to pay no attention to the man behind the curtain?"
Any thoughts you guys have would be appreciated, I'm just trying to make sense of it. And good luck next season, you did give me quite a scare, both in the first game, and in the second half last night.

WASHINGTON/NEW YORK (Reuters) – Nobel Prize winner Peter Diamond said on Sunday he planned to withdraw as a nominee for Federal Reserve governor, after his nomination was repeatedly opposed by Republicans.
"It is time for me to withdraw, as I plan to inform the White House," Diamond, an economics professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, wrote in an opinion piece published in the New York Times titled "When a Nobel Prize isn't enough."
The top Republican on the Senate Banking Committee, Richard Shelby, has criticized Diamond, saying he lacks monetary policy experience.
Diamond's withdrawal, a recognition that Republican objections could not be overcome despite three committee votes approving him, leaves the White House with two vacancies to fill on the seven-seat Fed board as the central bank debates what to do about a weak economy recovery after its $600 billion bond buying program ends this month.
Diamond's nomination fell victim to Republican score settling — under Democratic control, the Senate in 2008 blocked a nominee of Republican President George W. Bush. Another factor was a newly invigorated opposition to government and monetary intervention to stimulate economic growth during recessions.
The failure of the nomination of the MIT professor, an expert on pensions and behavioral economics, is also an indication of deep partisan divides over economic issues on Capitol Hill.
Disagreement over spending cuts has stalemated efforts to raise the U.S. debt ceiling, raising the possibility, however remote, of a U.S. debt default.
"It's a pity since Diamond's work on labor markets would be of importance to the committee," said Michael Gapen, a former Fed economist now at Barclays Capital. "This was a case of politics winning out over pragmatism."
The shaky U.S. economy — in which unemployment is over 9 percent two years after the formal end of the recession — is a major liability for President Barack Obama as he prepares to seek reelection in 2012.
Data on Friday indicated the economy may be in for a long period of soft growth after employers hired the fewest number of workers in eight months in May.
In his article, Diamond bemoaned the rise of political pressures on central bank decision-making.
"We should all worry about how distorted the confirmation process has become, and how little understanding of monetary policy there is among some of those responsible for its Congressional oversight," he said.
"We need to preserve the independence of the Fed from efforts to politicize monetary policy and to limit the Fed's ability to regulate financial firms."
Among names that have been mentioned for Fed vacancies in the recent past are Raphael Bostic, an economist at the Department of Housing and Urban Development who has worked at the Fed and William Spriggs an economist at the Labor Department who also worked on Capitol Hill.
