Can't sleep? Here's why.
I don't know if I can link to the article (per LCF terms of service) but if you Google this phrase...
Hypocretin Neurons: The Link Between Fasting, Stress, and Arousal, or, Why Fasting Breeds Insomniacs
You'll find a very interesting (to me, anyway) article on intermittent fasting, metabolic stress, and insomnia.
This article is not an argument against fasting; it's more a discussion of research on how women's bodies respond to fasting slightly differently than men's do...and what to do about it. (Though at the end she does say that some people, sometimes, shouldn't fast, it's not an anti-intermittent fasting article.)
It also helps explain why Theanine Serene w/relora works so well for some of us.
Hope this helps the sleepless. You're not alone.:)
Really good information. I haven't had the sleeplessness in a while, but I have found that my bed time keeps getting later.
Did you read this article, from the same site?
Paleo for Women | Shattering the Myth of Fasting for Women: A Review of Female-Specific Responses to Fasting in the Literature
(I've read it & mentioned it many times, but I never clicked on the hypocretin neurons link!
Lynn, I read the article, and the other thread "I almost quit JUDDD" and I can't find (or maybe understand) HOW/WHY the theanine w/ relora helps. I also remember at one point reading something somewhat negative about relora and so when I bought some I bought just theanine but without relora. I honestly don't remember *why* now - I just hate that!
So why does it help? And does it need to be w/relora? I am doing better sleeping now but it's because I had help from Shelby with my cortisol issues. My adrenals are waaaaay exhausted and JUDDD after hcg tipped me over the edge big time. I am doing better now and I make sure I EAT protein pretty quickly after arising, even on DD so that I don't stress my adrenals out again.
PJ, yes!! That's a great article and was the one that started me reading around her blog.
I'd failed to notice you linked to it before :o but it really helps explain WHY these things happen when we do JUDDD. Not all of us, but maybe some of us either a) secrete more cortisol in response to stress; or b) perceive fasting as stress more than others; or c) respond to elevated cortisol more strongly than others.
I heard that laughing reduces cortisol in the blood. Is that true? If so, it sounds like a super cheap/non-toxic supplement for us sensitive people.:hyst:
C'Marie, I can't find anything negative about relora except that it might make you drowsy during the day for a couple of weeks until you adjust to it. It's a blend of two traditional chinese herbs for calm and relaxation.
I am forever endebted to Sunday who introduced me to Theanine Serene through a post about her son with PTSD who had tried many things to sleep with no success.
I hadn't slept through the night in 8 years (it wasn't JUDDD's fault, but JUDDD exaggerated it) until I took the TS.
As for WHY TS works?
TS takes a shotgun approach and supplements several things that would relax you or help you sleep on their own if taken individually - the magnesium, the theanine, the relora...but the article (briefly) mentions the GABA pathway, and GABA is also in TS.
GABA is the relaxer neurotransmitter. For folks that have been under chronic stress one way or another (metabolic or otherwise), there's just never enough GABA in the world.:)
Hope this helps.:heart:
I came to the same conclusion, but I don't remember why, either! :lol:
I read many, many reviews on both TS and TSw/R, and decided to try the formula without relora. (I also noticed that I could buy a bottle of relora by itself.)
I'm skimming through some of the reviews again and some say that relora "slows down their thinking". I guess this could be a good thing if you're trying to fall asleep and your mind is racing; but not helpful if you want to take it during the day when you're feeling stressed...people said it felt like they couldn't concentrate.
That would be an odd combination; I find theanine helps me concentrate. It almost feels like I'm meditating or in some kind of mental zone where I could decrypt extraterrestrial languages or dismantle a bomb! :laugh:
PS: I went through one bottle and didn't notice fabulous results, so I haven't ordered it again.
Lynne, I think it's funny that I take cortisol to help myself at this point - not lowering it, raising it! My adrenals perhaps just are kicking out adrenalin and not the cortisol. Apparently that's different for folks depending on how far along in the "fatigue" or "exhaustion" stage you are for the adrenals. I can feel it start happening and then I take some cortisol supplement and I'm good for awhile again. I had forever and ever heard that cortisol was bad and thought people who advocated to take it were nuts! But it's helping me big time! I've also upped my protein intake in the mornings and it helps alot. When I would try to fast in the morning on my DD to have a bigger meal later it would backfire. I would end up getting a racing heart, feeling like I was anxious, and then only by eating a very large meal would it go away. I start now with about 30+ grams of protein in the morning and I'm all good - along with the cortisol supplements first thing in the morning. My circadian rhythm was really off. Now I'm sleeping and wow what a change.
I have some of the theanine w/o relora. I'm hesitant to change anything I'm doing now because I'm actually sleeping and weaning myself of a benzy drug gradually. I may try it later. I'm taking 5htp at night now and hoping to get completely off the benzy. I'm down to half, then I'll go to a quarter.
PJ and Lynne, thanks both of you for your help. It's nice to know we're not alone, eh?
Oh, I take a sublingual gaba when the stress response indicates I need it. I'm not taking it all the time at this point. Wonder if I should? or with the 5htp wonder if that's overkill.

Gulf Keystone Petroleum Limited ("Gulf Keystone" or the "Company") is an independent oil and gas exploration and production company with operations in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq.

Gulf Keystone Petroleum begins drilling Shaikan-6 wellDecember 20 2011, 7:22am
Gulf Keystone (LON:GKP) has said drilling is underway on the Shaikan-6 well in Kurdistan.
Work began on December 16 on this, the company's fourth deep appraisal well and the tenth in total across all its projects in the semi-autonomous region of northern Iraq.
Chief operating officer John Gerstenlauer said: "This number of completed and current exploration and appraisal wells comfortably places Gulf Keystone among top three operators in the region.
"As part of our high impact drilling campaign, planned and funded through 2012, the Shaikan-5 and Shaikan-6 appraisal wells will provide us with better understanding of the flanks of the massive Shaikan structure and its yet untapped resources.
Shaikan is estimated to contain 8 billion barrels of crude calculated on a P90 basis – meaning the oil has a 90 per cent certainty of being produced. The P10 value is 13.4 billion barrels, giving a mean figure of10.5 billion barrels.
The world class nature of the block and the company's other assets mean GKP is now being talked about as a potential bid target – so much so it was yesterday forced to deny takeover speculation swirling the Square Mile.
Shaikan is the company's most advanced prospect and has the potential to be the world's next super-giant oil find. The company currently holds a 75 per cent interest.
According to analysts the nearby Ber Bahr field could be even bigger.
It is operated by Turkish outfit Genel Energy, which has a 40 per cent interest, as has Gulf Keystone. The remainder is owned by the Kurdistan Regional Government.
Gulf Keystone has a 20 percent working interest in the Akri-Bijeel, which is operated by of MOL Group, which holds an 80 percent working interest in the block.
And it recently announced plans to sell its interest in this field to concentrate on other prospects.
Gulf Keystone has made remarkable progress in the last 18 months with a high impact drilling programme that wouldn't look out of place at one of the larger independents.
A recent US$200 million share placing underlined the shareholder support the company enjoys and has allowed the explorer to move full throttle into the next phase of development.
In a research note published recently, American investment bank Citi said Kurdistan is set for a "major period of news flow" as independent exploration companies embark on ambitious drilling campaigns in the semi-autonomous region.
Based on data from the US Geological Society, Kurdistan could hold over 50 billion barrels of oil – which means it is comparable in scale to Libya.
Counterbalancing this excitement is uncertainty over the production sharing contracts being issued by Kurdistan, which are still being disputed by the authorities in Baghdad.
These concerns are further exacerbated by the news that some oil companies aren't receiving full payment for their oil exports.
"Both issues are unlikely to be resolved until and Iraqi oil and gas law is ratified, in our view," Citi said in the recent note penned by Michael Alsford and Mukhtar Garadagh.

Understanding what API-functions are used in EXECryptor October 31, 2007Posted by reversengineering in OTHER, TOOLS.
Here you will find how list of API-functions and their hashs can be usefull in researching EXECryptor.
As you may knew, StrongBit recently released new version of EXECryptor – 2.4.1 with improved antidebugg and antitrace features. While unpacking console part of it, i've noticed that it detects my debugger (patched OllyDbg with FantOm plugin).
So let's imagine that we are trying to understand this new antidebug trick. We'll unpack console part (EXECrypt.exe) or just dump it running and then start to analyze it in Ida.
PhantOm consist of 2 drivers named FRDTSC and EXTREMEHIDE, that are loaded and used to hide OllyDbg. So, first of all we'll try to search this strings in Ida and of cource we will find them. Ok, then we will look where this strings are used and find interesting procedure that is used with PhantOm driver's names…….

In August 2013, Harris Interactive conducted an online survey of 1,000 hiring managers and 2,000 college students aimed at answering the question: Why do recent college graduates have difficulty finding jobs?
We all know part of the answer: A slow recovery from the global economic downturn of 2008. But while students complain about the difficulty in finding jobs, employers equally complain about finding qualified applicants. And a significant part of that is because what students believe employers want and what employers actually want turn out to be two very different things.
Some highlights of the report:
1. Almost half of the students surveyed believe a degree from a prestigious school is very or extremely important to employers. But only 28% of hiring managers indicated that this mattered in their hiring decisions.
2. About three-quarters (77%) of surveyed college students believed professional or personal connections were important for securing a job. But only 52% of hiring managers thought so.

BOSTON (AP) -- Boston Red Sox right fielder Shane Victorino has been activated from the disabled list and inserted into the lineup for the first time this season.
He batted in his usual second spot against the New York Yankees after missing the first 22 games with a hamstring injury and the flu.
In his first year with Boston in 2013, Victorino batted .294 with 15 homers, 61 RBIs and 21 stolen bases and was an outstanding fielder. In three rehab games this year at Triple-A Pawtucket, Victorino went 1 for 11.
To make room for him on the roster, the Red Sox sent right-handed reliever Alex Wilson to Pawtucket.

No Brown bounce. Gratitude, for sure. We need him to get on with the job. But we feel the future lies elsewhere. That's the psychology behind the results of the latest ICM opinion poll for the Guardian out today (full results in .pdf format here).
The Churchill effect, in fact.
So the question comes to mind: if Labour lost the next election under Brown's tutelage, would it necessarily imply our disposing of him as Leader of the Party? If Churchill was able to make a comeback, why not Brown? Or do we live in such consumer-infused times as to make modern politicians eminently, readily and inevitably disposable, whatever their qualities or intellectual stature?
Further reading: Churchill in opposition
2 Responses to "The Churchill Effect"
WOW! More than two major parties!! Image that! How progressive! Hey America! Maybe if you stop, look and listen you might learn something…
Yes, indeed. However, share of the popular vote is one thing. The actual election results are quite another. Some kind of proportional representation system perhaps? Now that would change both our countries.

Help create a vibrant learning environment that inspires our students and pushes them to achieve.
Poets Out Loud Endowment
Poets Out Loud gives poetry a greater voice and presence in New York City. Your gift will help us expand Poets Out Loud and raise the profile of the college as a leader in the arts. We seek to establish an endowed poetry series, named for a donor, as well as endowments for book prizes, more staff support and efforts to build the visibility of Poets Out Loud, among other enhancements.
Learning Communities/Collaborative Creativity Programs
Gifts in this area will create an endowment in support of two innovative programs. Learning communities allow students to live together on the same floor in McMahon Hall, where they study together and meet with faculty for lectures and events. They explore the city together and jointly design educational and service activities. To bring together students whose schedules may keep them apart, the communities include commuters as well as campus residents.
Annual Fund
The annual fund uses include scholarships, assistantships, guest speaker series, professional and career development programs, and research grants for students and faculty. The fund also helps the dean of the college seize emerging opportunities or pursue strategic initiatives and partnerships.
Theatre Faculty
The University recently established the Denzel Washington Chair in Theatre, thanks to a $2 million gift from the Academy Award-winning actor, a 1977 alumnus of Fordham College at Lincoln Center. The endowed chair allows the Theatre Department to bring the most accomplished actors and directors to Lincoln Center for one-year teaching engagements, continuing the parade of acclaimed actors—including Willem Dafoe, Patricia Clarkson, Julie White and Washington—who have come to the classrooms at Lincoln Center in recent years. Tony Award-winning actress Phylicia Rashad is the inaugural chair.

Responding to Questions About the Two Kingdoms (Part 2)
Like I mentioned yesterday, I've been peppered with questions lately, privately and publicly, regarding the doctrine of the "Two Kingdoms": namely, the distinction between Christ's heavenly kingdom and the kingdoms of this age. Yesterday, I took up the first question which centered on the provenance of the doctrine. Many critics wrongly assume anything Two Kingdoms related is Lutheran (not that there's anything wrong with that). What I tried to show yesterday is that this doctrine (like justification) is shared by the two branches of the Reformation.
Today, I want to take up a second objection, that the Two Kingdoms view engenders an individualistic and passive view of the church's role in kingdom-living today.
This concern is based on the assumption that the church as the aggregate of professing Christians is the same thing as the church as the institution founded by Christ for preaching, baptizing, administering Communion, catechizing, and making disciples. In a Reformation perspective, Christ creates his church in the power of his Spirit through Word and sacrament. This is his kingdom of grace. Yet this kingdom of grace will not yet be a kingdom of glory and power until Christ returns. Until then, God's common grace satisfies the needs of believer and unbeliever alike and believers serve alongside their unbelieving neighbors in divinely ordained callings that promote the general welfare rather than the salvation of sinners.
Yes, it is true, we are saved merely by receiving Christ and all of his benefits. That is why faith comes through the preaching of the gospel. We are sitting there, hearing the Good News. God ratifies his promise in baptism the Supper. Our action in this meeting is to respond, "Amen!" to everything that God has sworn, to praise God from whom all blessings flow, and to be refashioned as characters in God's unfolding drama. "Re-salinated" by God's service to us through his ambassadors, we are dispersed out of the salt shaker and scattered into the world as new creatures. The place for our good works, our activity, our service, is primarily out in the world, not in a plethora of church-based "ministries."
Our Lord credited Mary Magdalene with choosing "the better part" when she sat at Jesus' feet to hear him teach her who he was and what he had come to do, while Martha scolded her sister for making her do all the work. There is a time to receive and then there is a time to pass out the gifts that you have been given. The theater for our good works is in the world, through our ordinary callings, wherever our neighbors (believer and unbeliever alike) need us.
Next time, we'll finish up by looking at one of the most significant objections to the Two Kingdoms view: that it denies the presence of Christ's kingdom today; that it's sort of like dispensationalism: let's just wait until Jesus gets back; that its proponents don't care about transforming the culture here and now.
-Mike Horton

Eleven Truthful Tuesday protesters arrested at SC State House
On March 4, 11 people were arrested for blocking the road to the SC State House entrance on the morning the Senate was to begin debate on the "Nullify Obamacare" bill (recently amended to the "ACA Anti-Commandeering Act.) The citizen action was the latest in a sustained effort to educate the public about the Affordable Care Act, and to shame state lawmakers into expanding Medicaid. Failure to do so will cause many hundreds of deaths this year, one study suggesting as many as 1,400.

Outside the Senate chambers March 4, SC Progressive Network Director Brett Bursey explains to a reporter with The State why Truthful Tuesday activists blocked the road to the SC State House entrance. Eleven were arrested. (At the time of the interview, the protesters were still being processed at police headquarters, and Bursey thought 10 had been arrested.)

A Georgia basketball team that lived through more than its share of drama and hold-on-to-your-seat moments in recent weeks took care of business Saturday night.
Georgia's Jeremy Price dunks as several South Carolina players look on during Saturday's victory at Stegeman Coliseum.
David Manning
The Bulldogs opened up a big first-half lead against the last-place team from the Southeastern Conference East Division and withstood a mini-run to put the game away.
Georgia's 64-48 victory over South Carolina before 10,355 in Stegeman Coliseum ended with coach Mark Fox clearing his bench with 1:13 to play and the Bulldogs dribbling out the final seconds.
"It just felt good not to have a stressful end to the game," said Georgia center Jeremy Price, who scored 14 points and had six rebounds. "It puts a lot of stress on the crowd and especially ourselves. … To get a comfortable win like that, it feels good."
Georgia (19-9, 8-6 SEC) kept its record spotless against the non-marquee teams on its schedule and moved another step closer to a possible NCAA tournament at-large berth.
It had been five weeks since Georgia last won a game as comfortably – an 86-64 romp over Mississippi State on Jan. 22.
"We needed a game like that," said forward Trey Thompkins, who scored a game-high 20 points and grabbed eight rebounds.
Since the Mississippi State win, the Bulldogs had three victories by an average of 3.7 points and another win came in overtime against Auburn. The Bulldogs won by a point at Arkansas, by four at South Carolina and by six at Tennessee.
Their losses included tight games as well, including a double-overtime setback against Florida.
"We could have won plenty of games the same way, but we let teams come back," said forward Travis Leslie, who had 15 points and six assists.
Georgia has won its most overall games and SEC games since the 2006-07 team went 19-14 overall and 8-8 in the conference.
"It's good to win," Fox said. "This league is a monster. It's a monster."
The Bulldogs remained tied with Kentucky for third place in the SEC East, a game behind Vanderbilt. Georgia pulled a game ahead of Tennessee, which lost to Mississippi State on Saturday night.
All nine of Georgia's losses have come against top 35 RPI teams.
A loss to South Carolina (14-13, 5-9) would have dented the Bulldogs' résumé. The Gamecocks were No. 111 in the RPI.
Georgia has games remaining against LSU (11-18 overall, No. 205 RPI) and Alabama (19-9, No. 66).
"We need to win more games," Fox said. "We need to continue to win as many as we can. … This is a significant victory because we're going to have at least a .500 record in league play and we have more games to play. That's progress for our team."
Just like the team's earlier meeting this season, the Gamecocks again came out misfiring, hitting just 3 of their first 17 shots to fall behind 22-6.
South Carolina made just 4 of 28 in the first half and trailed 28-9 to the Bulldogs on Feb. 12 in Columbia, but rallied before Georgia pulled out a 60-56 win.
With Georgia in command early this time, the Bulldogs played what looked a little like playground ball at one point when Price passed up an easy basket to flip the ball back to Leslie for a slam attempt.
"It was just something in my bag of tricks," Price said.
Fox, though,was livid. He pulled Price from the game and chewed him out at the bench.
"It almost gave me a heart attack and then he almost died," Fox said. "We got caught up in emotion. He knew it was probably not the smartest play. Fortunately for us, it didn't cost us."
Leslie was fouled on the play. He made the first free throw and missed the second but got the rebound and scored on a layup for a 20-6 lead.
Georgia shot 56 percent in the first half to build a 39-22 lead while the Gamecocks made just 28.1 percent from the floor.
"This is a team that we have already come back on, and this is a team that's lost a lot of leads," South Carolina coach Darrin Horn said. "We talked about that before the game, and we talked about that during the game."
The Bulldogs looked like they might revert to another second-half letdown when
The Gamecocks pressed and scored five straight to open the second half.
Fox called timeout with the Bulldogs up 39-27 with 18:18 remaining.
Georgia had led at the half the past six games, but lost three of those games as opponents outscored the Bulldogs by an average of 10 points in the second half during that stretch.
'ñ∫ View more photos from the game.
Fox talked to his team at halftime about sustaining concentration and mental effort.
"We talked about it," Fox said. "We didn't start the half well. We had to use a timeout, but from that timeout forward, we played pretty solid basketball."
Georgia went on a 12-3 run that included six points from Leslie – two of those coming off a drive through the lane for a one-handed jam to make it 51-30 with 11:48 to play. The lead grew to as many as 24 points.
South Carolina shot 28.3 percent for the game, including 1 of 19 on 3-pointers.
"It was a big step for us," Price said, "to sustain the lead and keep playing hard and come out with the win."

Twisted Sister
What Scocca fails to mention in the article is the fact that Varadero is a beach resort. Not only that, it's a beach resort primarily for tourists, not Cubans. Pratka says the establishment of sisterhood is for cultural and social exchanges, not commercial ones. Um, so who would we be exchanging with? Old, sun-drenched, and leathery Italian and Russian tourists? If the important part is the province rather than the actual city, as the project members seem to be implying (and which I am still skeptical about), then fine, but at least mention the fact that Varadero is a flashy foreign resort, not just a neighborhood.

Germany vs. Holland
I was amused by Donald Holland's assertion that "[t]he difference between current Germany and the United States is that the former is a partial dictatorship posing as a democracy while the United States has active freedoms other nations covet" (The Mail, 2/14). Mr. Holland may be pleased to know that, while Supreme-Generalissimo-for-Life Gerhard Schroeder will not allow him to march around Frankfurt in an SS uniform while singing "The Horst Wessel Song," he is free to drink beer in a public park while listening to uncensored Eminem songs on the radio, and no one will hold a gun up to his face--not even the cops!

Basket Case
When I first began reading Tom Scocca's latest column, "We Myself & I" (8 Upper, 2/14), I was anticipating a long-overdue dissection of the NBA and all its shortcomings. For a while, Tom got it right. Professional basketball as played in the NBA is dull as dirt and outrageously overpriced. Later, however, he falls back on the serial wrongheadedness that plagues the thinking of NBA Commissioner David Stern and his sycophants. Tom threw me off when he started by actually talking about the game of basketball. When he switched to mooning over the stars of yesteryear (Magic, Bird, et al., ad nauseam), he fell into the celebrity trap that has plagued the NBA since Wilt Chamberlain.
Can you imagine Major League Baseball allowing, say, five strikes and seven balls for hitters deemed by the leagues and the media to be superstars? How about the NFL giving star running backs a few extra yards per carry? Well, that's what the NBA has been doing for years. The refs looked the other way while Michael Jordan took as many as five or six steps on the way to one of his slam dunks. Citing other examples would take up this entire paper.
What gives NFL football and Major League Baseball their timeless quality and consistent interest is respect for the game. It seems lost on the NBA that college basketball, as epitomized by the March Madness of the NCAA tournament, continues to draw huge audiences both at the games and on the tube in spite of the many fine players lured to the NBA by the big bucks. The reason is clear: It is the game itself, not the celebrities, that make it happen. The NBA has serious structural problems too. The season is way too long. As a result, the significance of a single game is minimal. The fans know it, but, most importantly, the players do too. Player indifference compounded by fatigue from an impossible regimen of travel, practice, and play means a fan base paying huge money for lackluster performances. Adding to the regular season a layer of seemingly endless playoff series leaves all but the most rabid fans of the surviving teams exhausted at best, bored out of their skulls at worse. Unless reconstituted to resemble the college game with a drastically shortened regular season, a sudden-death playoff format, and coaches free to determine a team's approach to the game based upon its strengths and weaknesses as a team, the NBA will soon trail professional "wrestling" in the sports pantheon, and that ain't even a sport, for God's sake!

Coaching Conundrum
After reading Tom Scocca's column "The Best Man" (8 Upper, 2/7), I've decided City Paper is not for me. His piece dated Jan. 31 regarding the Ravens and Art Modell gave us a hint of what a diminutive soul he is. And just in case we didn't get it, he furthered his cause on Feb. 7 by claiming Ravens defensive coordinator Marvin Lewis was passed over for a head coaching job due to color. Leave it to City Paper to throw down the race card. Why am I not surprised?!
Bruce Richmond
Bel Air
Cheers to Tom Scocca and his column "The Best Man." This piece is the most articulate I've read on the lack of black coaches in the NFL, most notably the most deserving Marvin Lewis from the Ravens. When the Cowboys won Super Bowls in the early '90s, assistant coaches Butch Davis and Norv Turner had jobs before the playoffs even started. When their season was eventually over, the coaching world was wide open for them.
When are we going to stop kidding ourselves about the role race plays in this? If it's not about race, what is it about? Qualifications? Experience? Management skills? Are we supposed to believe Marvin Lewis doesn't have these after orchestrating one of the best defenses of all time with a lion's share of distractions (Ray Lewis, lack of offensive production, etc.)?
Thanks for bringing evil out into the light. I'm putting your column on my office door, which is a popular place with my college students.

Still Ravin'
Uh oh, the Ravens won the Super Bowl. Baltimore sports fans actually have something to be happy about for a change. We all know what that means. Time for some snotty cynic from City Paper to drop trou and take a big, stinking, steaming dump in the punch bowl (8 Upper, 1/31). Thank you, Tom Scocca, for being so predictable. And don't forget the Charmin.
Don Brizendine
In the Jan. 31 issue of City Paper, toward the end of his usual anti-Ravens tirade, Tom Scocca relayed a story he supposedly obtained from The Washington Post about how Art Modell, in 1993, allegedly persuaded multimillionaire Robert Tisch to drop his efforts to obtain an NFL expansion team for Baltimore and buy half of the New York Giants instead. The thrust of this story was that Modell did so in order to doom Baltimore's chances of obtaining a team so that he could take Baltimore's stadium deal for himself.
While Scocca may well of have read some version of this story somewhere, if he had bother to do an hour's worth of independent factual research, he would have found that the story is completely contrary to what actually happened.
For example, if Scocca had bothered to do a quick Internet search, he would have quickly (it took me all of about 15 minutes) discovered that the official New York Giants' Web page reports that Tisch actually bought his share of the Giants in 1991--two years before the NFL awarded Charlotte and Jacksonville expansion teams in 1993.
If Scocca had been more ambitious, he could have confirmed that Tisch bought into the Giants in 1991 by checking the NFL's Official Record and Fact Book (page 276 of the 1997 edition).
If Scocca had been real ambitious, he could have checked Sun writer Jon Morgan's 1997 book on how the Browns became the Ravens, Glory for Sale, which also reveals that in 1993, when the NFL owners met to award the last expansion team to Jacksonville, Tisch was one of only two owners on the expansion committee to actually vote for Baltimore getting a team over Jacksonville (page 193, Tom).
Finally, although I believe I have read that Modell did actually suggest to Tisch that he buy into the Giants (both Tisch and the other Giants owner, Wellington Mara, are close friends of Modell), when Modell did do so--1991, not 1993--he was in the process of spending $13 million to build a 10-acre training center and corporate headquarters in Cleveland that opened in 1992 (page 211 of Morgan's book). As such, I seriously doubt that when Modell suggested to Tisch that he buy into the Giants, he was even considering moving the team. (Although I will admit that the $13 million did turn out to be a very poor investment on Modell's part.)
Its a shame that Scocca let his rush to pen yet another insipid anti-Ravens tirade get in the way of what I thought was a fundamental part of journalism--checking your facts before you write your story.
Vince Columbia
Ellicott City
Tom Scocca responds: Art Modell's phone call to Robert Tisch did happen in 1991, rather than 1993. I regret the dating error. That does not, however, change the basic facts: At the time, the NFL's expansion process was underway; Tisch was the evident frontrunner to lead Baltimore's bid, and Modell called him off. Whatever his motives, Art Modell torpedoed this city's best shot at an expansion team. Then he collected on our stadium offer himself.
As for Brizendine's punch bowl, 8 Upper rejects any accusations of cynical party-pooping. 8 Upper has been firmly against the Ravens from the beginning, even when the team stunk.

Heeding the Divestiture Cry? American to Spin Off Its Eagle Unit
This afternoon, American announced its intention to spin off its American Eagle unit click here. Given the talk surrounding the company to consider spinning off AAdvantage, American Beacon Advisors, American Eagle and its maintenance unit, this announcement should come as no surprise.
Calls for American to spin off AAdvantage were first made by Reykjavik-based FL Group, which owns 9.1 percent of American in September. All US carriers, and not just American, are considering means to respond to increased shareholder pressure as airline shares have significantly underperformed the Standard & Poor's 500 Index this year.
One might say that AA is considering the divestiture of a regional carrier late in the cycle when growth has slowed considerably. On the other hand, if you believe that the regional sector of the US airline industry is not immune from consolidation, it just may be the right time to participate in the purchase of a carrier with a $2+ billion revenue stream that American says will remain intact as the parent plans to maintain all current feed provided by Eagle.
That revenue stream and an increased capital base will certainly have some attraction to regional sector's biggest players: Republic, SkyWest, Pinnacle and others looking to assure their survival as its sector of the industry matures as well. American suggests the transaction will be a 2008 event with all the necessary caveats. No details have been provided on a deal structure other than a blank whiteboard.

New birth of freedom
By Trent Loos
Each year, as our nation celebrates Independence Day, my family is doing the same thing: heat checking and artificially inseminating cows. As June rolls to a close and for about two weeks, every morning at sunrise I am sitting in the saddle listening the birds sing, watching an occasional gobbler strut and hoping for a cow on two legs.
As I get older I become a better student of history. So this very morning as I am enjoying the various sights and sounds of nature around me, it dawned on me the importance of this day in our nation's history.
It was 150 years ago on July 1, 1863, in Adams County, Pa., that a battle took place during the Civil War at Gettysburg. After three days of the most intense fighting the war had seen, 50,000 men lost their lives.
Whether you believe it was about state's rights or the end of slavery or both doesn't really matter. What matters is that those men died for a purpose and today, as a result, we have the strongest, most-free nation in the world to call home: the United States of America.
Meanwhile, back here at the ranch, I would argue that the lifestyle my family chooses is the most iconic of all when it comes to the symbol of freedom. All things associated with a horse are tied to freedom. The freedom of the feeling of sitting in the middle of section of land you owns with the cows you own and the freedom to use them and produce food as you see fit.
Every single day you and I, who so value those freedoms, grow more concerned about the erosion of what we hold dear as citizens—our rights. The truth of the matter is that we do not truly have the freedom to use our land and animals as we once did without social pressures. In fact, our mere survival in our chosen profession is without question more dependent on our neighbors and our association with others in our industry than ever before.
Gen. Robert E. Lee of the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia made the decision to make a bold move to take the North on their own soil. The North, led by Major Gen. George Meade, out-flanked them and pushed the wounded back south with a wagon train of wounded that was 17 miles long. Keep in mind that the Battle of Gettysburg occurred in the middle of the four-year war, but without question it was the turning point. It is reported that Gen. Robert E. Lee was constantly on the defensive from that point until his surrender in spring of 1865.
Folks, we have an attack again today on the very freedoms we celebrate as a nation of independent citizens. No matter how much we dislike the fact, some of our freedoms as farmers, ranchers and citizens will only be preserved with our forces teaming up strategically. I hope we all give some serious thought to the long-term plan of this nation in order to preserve what so many before us have sacrificed to create.
"It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."—Abraham Lincoln
Happy Independence Day, America!

Future Pro Tour TECH
About Future Pro "Tech"
The technology available to today's angler is truly amazing. Ol' school anglers often express their dismay at the fact that much in the way of electronics didn't exist in their day, and at times, form conjecture on how much better they could have been had they be given access to today's modern marvels. And, having the latest in "hi-tech" bass fishing equipment is without question one key to successful angling as many spare no expense in buying the best technology on the market.
The question we all have to ask ourselves however is: Are we maximizing the use of this expensive technology we have invested so much money in?
Enter...Future Pro "Tech", a curriculum of hands-on classes specifically designed to help anglers understand today's "high tech" equipment - equipment that has become a necessary part of just about every competitive angler's arsenal. Many anglers own "high tech" equipment, but a great majority are simply not familiar with even the most primary functions of these "pricey" units, and never gain the confidence in, or recognize the effectiveness of, these true modern marvels.
FPT "Tech" classes are FREE and are conducted in a hands-on, classroom format, projected on a HD big-screen TV, with electronic fish finder, and mapping unit simulations available for effective interactive instruction. Registration is on a first-come, first served basis and classes are limited to twenty-five (25) students per class for maximum effectiveness, with each student receiving notepads/study materials, and refreshments.
FPT "Tech" courses are conducted by factory trained professionals in a seminar/lab format, helping students understand what often cannot be understood simply by reading an instruction manual.
Classes are open to all anglers whether you fish for bass, trout, kokanee, or any other species of fish, and information about various brands of electronics will be covered including Lowrance, Garmin, etc, so please know that you will leave with a better understanding of electronics and how it relates to your specific unit.
FPT "Tech" classes feature:
- "Hands on" training on the high-tech electronics, equipment, and tackle you use
- Classes are presented in a lecture/lab format
- No tuition fee
- Quality training as class size is limited to 25 students
FPT "Tech" classes can help you:
- Reduce your learning curve
- Increase your productivity on the water
- Get the most out of your "high tech" equipment

Adnan Januzaj is determined to continue his personal ascension at Manchester United, having impressed during this summer's Tour 2013 presented by Aon.
The burgeoning Belgian has produced a number of impressive performances for David Moyes' men and caught the eye once again on Monday, connecting with Alexander Büttner's cross to head the fourth goal in a clinical 5-2 win over Kitchee FC in Hong Kong.
And now, with just one game to go before heading back to M16, the reigning Reserves Player of the Year is keen to build on his noteworthy work with the first team.
"It felt good to score a goal, it was a good cross from Alex and I was in the right place to put it in," the 18-year-old told MUTV. "I think we all did well, we kept the ball and that is what made the difference. We scored early in the game and that is what made the difference in this game.
"I have done some good stuff (during the tour) and I hope to keep going. That is what I am going to do. I am going to work hard and try to keep doing what I am doing."
Chris Smalling, who was also on the scoresheet on Monday, is confident the young forward can make the grade at Old Trafford alongside fellow academy graduate Jesse Lingard.
"They have taken their chance," he explained. "It's good that the manager has given these young players a chance and they have really taken their chances. I think all of them have made a claim for the start of the season and they are all in with a good shout."

Stay up-to-date with KAKE News:
School Superintendent Winston Brooks and his staff outline the state of Wichita's schools at a board meeting Monday night.
Brooks has five strategies in his plan to boost student achievement: staff development with emphasis on math and reading; accountabillity; keeping students connected at school with extra-curricular activities; parent and community involvement; and school safety.
"We feel pretty good about what we're presenting to you here," Brooks said at the meeting.
Brooks' driving passion this year is how to increase test scores. The Assistant Superintendent of schools gives one explanation why some students don't do well on achievement test scores, even though their report card shows them getting good grades.
"At the high school level it's very easy to have an unwritten contract with students, which is 'Susan if you just come to my class and show up and you try, you won't fail.' And sometimes that occurs."
Besides getting test scores higher, the schools are trying to figure out how they can keep students from dropping out.
Brooks says, "A number of our kids for whatever reason lack advocates, lack people who will push them and say 'hang in there'."
The administration's plans are quite detailed... so much so, some board members say it'll take time to digest it all.
Board member Connie Dietz says, "your head's kind of spinning after."
For a school board meeting there is a fair attendence.
But most of the attendees are school principals -- something that doesn't sit well with one board member who feels more parents should be here.
Kevass Harding says, "I see a whole lot of chairs vacant... so parents, you missed a great meeting. There should be more people from the community sitting in these chairs as well."
The schools will start using the new plan in the coming school year.

Re-Open Our Railway! The South Staffordshire line, Lichfield to Walsall
To the Secretary of State for Transport H.M Government We the undersigned feel that the reinstatment of the South Staffordshire line form Lichfield to Walsall would benifit the local community as well as providing an open corridor for freight transport from the East to the West Midlands, thus freeing up other transort links and reducing the amount of lorrys on our road network.
peter jarai
The South Staffordshire railway Line needs to reopen as soon as centro can get the money to reopen this railway Line.
Joshua Guest
I live in Walsall Wood, where Ryecroft and Shelfield are even near Brownhills. They have potential to be reopened. Aldridge and Lichfield even Cannock are close by so it has potential to be reopened.
Daniel Robertson
I live in Derby and have family in Sutton Coldfield. I want to use public transport to visit, but currently it is twice the time and twice the cost of my car.

Q: I was diagnosed with an enlarged prostate. My urologist has prescribed finasteride (Proscar) and tamsulosin (Flomax) to treat it. My urine flow has improved and I am able to empty my bladder. When can I stop taking these drugs?
A: You ask a very important question about withdrawing drug treatment of an enlarged prostate, what doctors call benign prostatic hypertrophy or BPH. But the question does not have a "one-size-fits-all answer."

As you turn it off
A few days after I got done saying that as used in the "speech act" sense was nearly impossible, though not uncommon in play-by-play commentary, I encountered an example.
A few days after I got done saying that as used in the "speech act" sense was nearly impossible, though not uncommon in play-by-play commentary, I encountered an example.
At a dinner I was at recently, one participant remarked that a roommate would continually make requests indirectly, e.g. "Do you think you'll do the dishes?" "I wonder if we should do some cleaning this weekend." [language changed to protect the innocent]. She expressed some frustration with that sort of talk, wishing that the roommate would "be direct" and just say
Can you please do the dishes?
In case anyone was wondering if, maybe, somehow, can you X was still only indirectly a request.
A topic of continued interest (primarily by(?) Geoff Pullum) is linguification, or the expression of a particular idea or argument in terms of language. A couple years ago I wrote about one particular type of linguification that often takes the form of
You rarely hear X and Y in the same sentence
and which expresses, basically, X and Y are really different and totally unrelated. In case X is a modifier of Y, then it means Y is anything but properly described by X (e.g., you never hear "politician" and "honest" within three words of each other).
In the June 2008 issue of Language, Frederick (Fritz) Newmeyer writes, in a footnote:
The late Jim McCawley wrote somewhere that he can always pick out theoretical linguists at academic cocktail parties. We are the ones who talk about the Fibonacci sequence, the laws of thermodynamics, and Romance clitic climbing, all in the same sentence.
This reflects what I guessed was a folk theory of discourse, one part of which is the idea that sentences have only a single topic, and that nothing is present in the scope of negation (e.g., "studying Romance clitic climbing clearly has nothing to do with the laws of thermodynamics, which is just as well considering that I know nothing about the latter"). This particular form of linguification relies on the idea that if any concepts are mentioned in the same sentence, this indicates at least that the speaker is interested in all three topics, and perhaps even that the speaker is somehow arguing for a significant relation between them. (Or perhaps just that they are concept-dropping in order to impress their colleagues).
I was surprised and very happy about the sudden interest on LL in "yeah no" (initial post and the aftermath)since I've also been paying attention to the little guy in some recent research (following up, in a sense, from two earlier posts of mine here and here. I won't reveal too much now (have to keep you in suspense!) but there's one use of it which is really cool, and which is illustrated by LL's own Geoff Nunberg on NPR.
Get yourself an archived recording of Talk of the Nation on June 2nd, 2004. It's a discussion between Neal Conan and Geoff Nunberg on his then-new book Going Nucular. At about 10m30s into the session, they're taking calls, and you'll hear this:
JIM: Well, three categories here. I'll do them real quickly. First I guess I'll call it the category of the cachet of erudition. ((dozens of seconds omitted; some talk of the word robust included near the beginning))
CONAN: Any thoughts on those, Geoffrey?
Mr. NUNBERG: Yeah. No. I think 'robust,' for example, is an instance of one of those vogue words that for one reason or another is just picked up and people like the sound of it. You're right. I don't know if it's erudition but there's a kind of pleasure in saying a word like that and everybody plugs into it.
This sort of thing happens not infrequently on NPR (and other radio talk shows, I presume). It might even be getting to the point where "yeah no" (and sometimes just "no") is almost just a question-uptake marker more than anything else. Listen for it. Other good places to listen for it: asymmetric social contexts, especially where one person constantly feels the need to maintain a non-disagreement or positive-alignment stance with other people there, either just in order to be nice (think job interviews) or to prevent themselves from being misunderstood (think any academic context).
It's too bad that neither Burridge and Florey, nor Moore's thesis from what I saw, take up the task of comparing "yeah-no" and "no-yeah" to the use and distribution of yeah and no individually. Maybe I'm just too much of a lexical semanticist. But, if they had, they might have found what I did in going through a bunch of LDC mixer corpora (as well as some more natural conversations): namely, that in most but not all cases there's not a whole lot special about the combination in and of itself. It doesn't seem to fulfil any core function that either "yeah" or "no" aren't observed to do on their own (assuming you assign some combination of propositional and discursive meaning to each yeah and no when they do appear on their own, and also when they appear in combination). There may be cases where it is appropriate or even ideal to use both, as many of Mark's readers pointed out (like in responses to negative or leading questions), but the resulting "meaning" is not really anything beyond what you might expect by putting the two together. I think that's the case with most of the examples in the two LL posts. However, Australia could be a completely different story. In particular, if you have access to the Burridge and Florey article, check out the "athletic" use, which to my ears is actually rather strange.
Finally, it may interest my more sociologically- or CA-minded readers (all none of them?) that this sequence of words was analyzed by Schegloff in a 1992 paper, "Repair After Next Turn: The Last Structurally Provided Defense of Intersubjectivity in Conversation", Am. J of Soc. He also looked at just "no" in "Getting Serious: Joke->Serious 'No'" (2001, J of Prag.), but this "no" can also be combined with "yeah" resulting in a very similar effect. This is the use that I don't think any of the LL-responders has mentioned, where you say something joking as a sort of ice-breaker, and then "(yeah) no I just wanted to ask you about…." This is as opposed to Mark's (right-on, by the way) characterization of the "no" as indicating "divergence from (perhaps shared) presuppositions or expectations" — note the similarity to "intersubjectivity" in Schegloff's title.

The L.A. Galaxy suffered one of their most embarrassing losses in recent memory, losing 3-1 at the hands of the New England Revolution at a rain soaked Home Depot Center Saturday night. The loss dropped the defending MLS champs to 1-2 on the MLS season.
Early goals by Rowe and Tierney put New England up 2-0 in the 13th minute and they never looked back. The Galaxy defense is clearly the weak spot without MLS Defender of the Year Omar Gonzalez. Even with the horrific start, the Galaxy had opportunities with two stellar set pieces from David Beckham and a missed breakaway from Edson Buddle.
The Galaxy were missing Landon Donovan due to a nagging injury, but in a shocking move Galaxy Manager Bruce Arena subbed out Beckham and Brazilian Marcelo Sarvas at the half for "tactical reasons." Beckham looked particularly dangerous especially on set pieces in the first half, so the tactic that Arena was implementing seems to be a mystery. Arena also sat Mike Magee to start the game in favor of Paulo Cardozo who struggled at times.
The second half was more of the same, with the majority of the fans at the Home Depot Center choosing to vacate the rain drenched arena. The Revs took complete control with a goal by Sene in the 65th.
The Galaxy showed a late spark, with Robbie Keane finding the back of the net in the 78th minute. Too little, way too late.
Things will only get harder for the Galaxy as they travel to the unfriendly atmosphere of Sporting KC on April 7th.
My three takeaways:
1. Arena's roster management was questionable at best. Leaving Magee out of the starting lineup and subbing one of the best players in the league in Beckham for "tactical reasons" at the half was dubious to say the least. To win in MLS, you need your best possible line up on the field. LA did not have that tonight at any point in the game. After the game Arena said that he took out Beckham because he felt they "needed a little more" and that if he could have subbed 11 he would have. That said, the two he did make at the half were terrible moves. Those moves threw in the towel.
2. The central defense is in shambles. Boyens is not a starter. Look for the Galaxy to make a deal. The Galaxy have a surplus of strikers.
3. Jay Heaps has the Revs headed in the right direction. Solid roster moves have set this team up for success. Hats off to New England for a job well done.

HOUSTON -- The 24-year-old operator of a home child-care business who left seven children unattended while she went shopping was sentenced Tuesday to 80 years in prison for the death of one child in a fire.Jessica Tata will have to serve 30 years of her sentence before she is eligible for parole, attorneys said. Tata also was ordered to pay a $10,000 fine.Four children died and three were injured after fire erupted on Feb. 24, 2011. Investigators traced the fire to a pot of oil left on a hot stove burner.Tata was charged with four counts of felony murder, three counts of abandoning a child and two counts of reckless injury to a child.She was tried first in the death of 16-month-old Elias Castillo and was convicted last week.The punishment range on a murder charge is five years to life in prison. Prosecutors had sought a life sentence; defense attorneys asked only that jurors not give her an excessive sentence.Harris County prosecutor Steve Baldassano said prosecutors planned to pursue trials on the remaining felony murder charges.Jurors deliberated her punishment for seven hours over two days.Prosecutors argued that she was an irresponsible day-care owner who had doomed the children when she left them alone. They said Tata had repeatedly left children unsupervised, and it was only a matter of time before her actions led to tragedy.Defense attorney Mike DeGeurin said he still believes Tata should not have been charged with murder because the deaths were an accident."The sentence is not going to fix things. It's not going to make anybody feel better later on. But the jury has spoken. That's their sentence," DeGeurin said.Baldassano said Tata had nobody to blame but herself."She was being paid to watch these children. She knew better," Baldassano said."It's not the stove. It's not the refrigerator. It's not any parents' fault. It's nobody's fault but her own."After the sentence was announced, Patty Sparks, Elias' great-grandmother said: "Nobody wins in this situation. My heart goes out to the Tata family and those precious mothers and fathers who lost their babies."

text: On May 24, 1994, about 1300 eastern daylight time, a Cessna 172N, N737SE, owned by Dettinger Aviation, Inc., and piloted by William W. Groves, was substantially damaged when it went off the side of the runway during the takeoff roll at the Shannon Airport, Fredericksburg, Virginia. The pilot and passenger were not injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and a flight plan had not been filed for the flight operating under 14 CFR 91. The pilot was planning to depart the Shannon Airport for a local flight. The hard surface runway at the airport was closed for maintenance, and the 1500 foot grass runway was active. In the NTSB Form 6120.1/2 the pilot stated:"I lined up on 32 Shannon...I applied full power...and began the takeoff roll for a soft field departure. The takeoff roll was normal...while holding back pressure on the yoke. The aircraft broke ground as normal and I eased the nose over to obtain Vx (59 KIAS). At 59 K [knots] I rotated for climb out. At that point the aircraft...seemed to 'mush' and settled back to the runway on the left main gear...I decided to abort the takeoff knowing that I had plenty of runway left...I closed the throttle and lowered the nose. The plane jerked left...I noticed that we pointed directly toward a runway edge cone...the wing tip caught the bank off to the left side of the strip and pulled the plane into the bank..." The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Inspector's report stated:"...I appears that the pilot attempted a soft, short field takeoff. A short distance away, the aircraft swayed to the left and left the runway. Approximately 500 feet from the starting point, the aircraft hit an embankment, causing substantial damage to the aircraft...Upon inspection, the aircraft was found to have all control functions normal, and all instruments were found to be operational..." The pilot's last flight was four tenths of an hour duration in a Piper PA-28, approximately 90 days prior to this flight. According to the Cessna Pilot's Operating Handbook, for the environmental conditions that day, the airplane would have required an approximate ground roll of 1100 feet for a short field takeoff from a grass runway.
