To investigate the regulation of the amiloride-sensitive epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) expression, we have characterized the genomic structure and performed promoter analyses of the alpha subunit of the human (h) ENaC gene. Genomic clones containing the alphahENaC gene were isolated and subjected to restriction-mapping analysis. The alphahENaC gene was shown to be composed of 13 exons and 12 introns. Primer extension analysis confirmed that transcription initiation occurred at the beginning of the reported alphahENaC cDNA, but also indicated potential heterogenous initiation sites. Examination of a 3.1 kb 5' flanking sequence revealed a notable absence of CCAAT or TATA-like elements but suggested three GC boxes and several putative transcription factor binding sites, including a glucocorticoid response element (GRE) consensus. A 250 bp minimal promoter was capable of directing expression of a secreted alkaline phosphatase reporter. This promoter activity was enhanced 2.5- and 4-fold by upstream flanking sequences. Dexamethasone treatment induced levels of expression from the longer, GRE-containing promoter fragments from 8- to 20-fold, but not from the minimal promoter. Precise deletion of the 15-bp, dyad GRE sequence completely abolishes the response of reporter expression to dexamethasone induction. These experiments indicate that glucocorticoid augmentation of lung epithelial Na+ transport occurs, at least in part, by direct stimulation of transcription of the ENaC genes.

I have searched lightly for this and found no relevant thread so I figured I'd go ahead and post my small amount of math and thinking I've had going behind this.
The premise is pretty much these three things:
Victory Rush
Impending Victory
Glyph of Victory Rush
Field Dressing
From what I understand the math to calculate for how much you would be healed using Victory Rush from a proc would be:
Which means that a Victory Rush proc should heal you for 9% of your maximum health.
Once the boss hits 20% and we assume you're spamming devastate and using Victory Rush every proc avaliable, would it be reasonable to simplify the rotation down to:
Devastate -> Devastate -> Victory Rush
If we go with this it means that simplified you will be healed for 9% of your health every 4,5 second. If we have a tank with 150k hp (an imo realistical number). This would mean that they would have a HPS of:
This would in turn mean that a warrior tank during the last 20% of a boss would be able to have a stable selfhealing on himself for 3,18k HPS, gimping threat and damage.
I don't know what numbers healers are at these days but would this not be quite viable?

Written by Senator Jack Martins Friday, 16 September 2011 00:00
It's difficult to write about the tenth anniversary of 9/11. Representing a district that suffered a tremendous loss of life that day, one that saw so many of our first responders involved in rescue efforts, I thought it best to avoid platitudes that bring very little comfort to those still suffering. Instead I will simply share some observations on where we stand now.
September 11 will go down as one of the defining historical events in our nation's history, much like Pearl Harbor or John F. Kennedy's assassination. These events spur people to action and generally shape policy for years to come. In this case, it sparked an unprecedented war on terrorism, both at home and abroad. It reminded us just how precious life is, it emphasized that which unites us, and it gave us an appropriate appreciation for public servants who protect us personally and who protect our way of life.
Yet for better or worse, ten years have passed. Negatively, I've had the staggering experience of speaking to some young people who knew little of the day's actual events. They were of course familiar that "9/11" was a tragedy involving terrorists but couldn't tell me much more. After Osama bin Laden's recent death, friends shared that while their children were aware he had been a hunted enemy, they were unsure as to why.
Of course, we don't blame the kids at all. Many of these children were toddlers at the time and some had not even been born. I do blame us though. While researching the issue I discovered that 9/11 is not part of any set, core curriculum, not even for high school students. We teach them about genocide, the Holocaust and the Irish potato famine, but not 9/11. While tens of thousands of service men and women still serve overseas, when we've buried thousands of them and even more have come home injured, we don't bother to teach our children why. I know it's difficult because I've tried to relate details to some students and had the painful realization that I had just overwhelmed them. Yet I can't help but recall the adage that "those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it." There are lessons to be learned from September 11th, not only about the damage that hatred can produce but lessons about unity, tolerance, and sacrifice.
Those very sentiments felt so strongly 10 years ago seem to be missing in today's headlines. There is immense disagreement on how responsible we as a nation are for the medical benefits of those who served at ground-zero. While the federal government passed the Zadroga Act, it does nothing to address cancer-related illness.
Studies indicate increased rates of cancer for those who were exposed to the carcinogens at ground zero and yet the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health says there isn't quite enough evidence. I wonder how much evidence we need. Isn't it enough that we called on them and they answered? This time it's we who must answer the call.
It's been 10 long years. Let's not forget what we've learned or how we felt or else all those we loved died in vain. We must memorialize those who died by recalling the spirit, strength and unity we showed as a nation and keeping it alive now and into the future. Never forget.

Australian climate policy will live a crucial moment on 7 September, when the country goes to the polls for the general elections.
Incumbent Labor Prime Minister Kevin Rudd - who returned to power in June when he beat Julia Gillard in the party leadership contest - announced over the weekend that the elections will be held two months before the November deadline.
The election outcome will determine the fate of the country's carbon pricing mechanism, or emission trading system (ETS), which is strongly criticised by the opposition.
Some 372 Australian companies at the moment have to pay a fixed price - often referred to as a tax - of Australian dollar (A$) 24.15 (€16.88) for every tonne of CO2 equivalent (tCO2e) they emit.
One of Rudd's first moves since returning to the post of prime minister was to announce that Australia would bring forward by one year the switch to a floating carbon price to 1 July 2014. By doing so, the government explicitly aims to lower the CO2 costs it imposes on large businesses including Anglo Coal and BHP Billiton ahead of the elections. It estimates that bringing the ETS forward would slash CO2 costs to polluters by more than three-quarters. This would happen with the help of cheaper offsets credits and EU allowances (EUAs), as the government wants companies to access the EU ETS, where the price of carbon is only a fraction of that imposed by the Australia tax, from the start of the floating price stage (see EDCM 16 July 2013).
Germany-based consultancy Tschach Solutions - now part of ICIS - expects hedging demand from Australian companies in the EU ETS to be around 50m-70m tonnes.
CO2 price scrap priority for opposition
But even if it is amended, and thus the price of CO2 significantly reduced, the carbon pricing mechanism faces stiff opposition from the opposition leader Tony Abbott. He has made it clear that, if his party wins the election, his "first legislative priority" will be to scrap the carbon tax.
"[If the Coalition is elected], on day one, I will instruct the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet to draft legislation that repeals the carbon tax and to have the legislation ready within one month," he said on Monday on his Liberal party website. His opposition to the system is based on it increasing costs for citizens and businesses.
As the first Australian financial year of enforcing the carbon pricing mechanism has recently ended, a number of company results are expected to reflect the additional cost - which the opposition could use to further its campaign.
On Monday, for instance, the airline Virgin Australia said in its 2013 guidance document that the pre-tax costs of the carbon pricing mechanism are estimated at A$45m-50m. It added that they were "unable to be recovered due to weak economic conditions and the competitive environment." The company cited the tax as one of the reasons why it expects a statutory loss after tax in the range of A$95m-110m.
Increased cap?
Elsewhere, the Australian Climate Change Authority told ICIS that it is still analysing in detail potential emissions caps and targets.
The body is required to send a report to the government by 28 February 2014 in which it will recommend a 2020 emissions reduction target and caps for the first five trading years of the carbon pricing mechanism.
Last week, media reports circulated that the body will recommend an increase in the country's emissions reduction target from 5% to 15% by 2020.
The CCA labelled these reports "incorrect", adding that "no decisions have been taken at this time" and that a draft report will be put under public consultation before finalising the recommendations.
Despite being unconfirmed, the reports have already triggered strong reactions by CO2-internsive industry. The Australian Coal Association said such a decision would suggest "disturbing ignorance of the damage this would cause to Australian industry and households." The lobby also called for the carbon pricing mechanism to be ended for the mining sector. Silvia Molteni

November 28, 2014
LONDON (AP) - Police say the bodies of four U.S. Air Force crew members have been recovered from the site of a helicopter crash in eastern England.
Capt. Christopher S. Stover, Capt. Sean M. Ruane, Technical Sgt. Dale E. Mathews and Staff Sgt. Afton M. Ponce died when their Pave Hawk helicopter came down in a marshland nature reserve on the Norfolk coast on Tuesday.
An ambulance was seen removing bodies from the marsh Thursday after what officials called a "complex" recovery operation.
Norfolk Police say there is no evidence the crash was a criminal matter. The U.S. Air Force will lead the accident investigation.
The aircraft was assigned to the 48th Fighter Wing at Royal Air Force base Lakenheath in eastern England. It was on a training mission when it crashed.

Following 20 months of bargaining, an agreement has been reached on a new contract for more than 3,000 workers at a number of area hotels. Unite Here Local 1 and Starwood Hotels have reached settlements in Chicago affecting 1,200 Starwood workers at the Sheraton, Westin Michigan Avenue, Westin River North, W Lakeshore, W City Center and Tremont hotels.
It will also affect about 2,000 workers at 16 other hotels where operators have signed pattern agreements tied to the Sheraton contract, a release from UNITE HERE said. Agreements were ratified by Starwood workers late Tuesday.
The contracts include wage increases and improved job stability language, while preserving low-cost, high-quality healthcare and pension benefits for hotel workers and their families, the release said.
Over the life of the contract, wages for non-tipped workers will increase $1.80 per hour, raising the wage of a housekeeper, for instance, from $14.60 today to $16.40 when the contract expires in 2013.
"This settlement is good for Chicago, good for Starwood and good for our members," Henry Tamarin, president of UNITE HERE Local 1, said.
Agreements for Starwood and other hotel workers in downtown Chicago expired Aug. 31, 2009. Since then, Starwood hotel properties have faced numerous labor demonstrations, including pickets, a limited walkout in August 2010 and a brief boycott earlier this month.
The settlement effectively resolves all remaining hotel contract disputes in Chicago, the union says, except those with Hyatt Hotels and the Congress Hotel, site of the longest hotel strike in history.

text: U.N. Delays Conference to Ban WMDs in the Middle East Print article Send a Tip by AWR Hawkins 15 Nov 2012 post a comment A U.N. conference to ban nuclear weapons in the Middle East, which was scheduled for mid-December, appears headed for a delay. Officials indicate the conference will be postponed, rather than canceled. And the reason provided for doing so is the current, contentious atmosphere in the region. Arab diplomats are said to be upset with the delay, while Israeli diplomats are quite pleased. After all, the creation of a "WMD-Free Middle East" will only serve to lower Israel's security and their capacity to strike back against a united Arab front. In fact, Iran and other Arab states are using this moment to point fingers at Israel, accusing the Jewish State of posing "a threat to Middle East peace and security" via their "presumed nuclear arsenal." But Israel sees things differently, and has yet to officially announce participation in the conference should it happen. No word yet on whether the conference will address Iran's development and pursuit of nuclear weapons for their nation.

Lean Maintenance: Reduce Costs, Improve Quality, and Increase Market Share (Life Cycle Engineering Series)What is "Lean?" Whether referring to manufacturing operations or maintenance, lean is about doing more with less: less effort, less space, fewer defects, less throughput time, lower volume requirements, less capital for a given level of output, etc. The need to provide the customer more value with less waste is a necessity for any firm wanting to stay in business, especially in today's increasingly global market place. And this is what lean thinking is all about.

ANNOUNCING THE ECONOMY AND THE U WEB SITE. As the University is called to respond to Minnesota's budget deficit in the coming months, providing timely and transparent updates to faculty and staff will be a top priority. The Economy and the U Web site was created to ensure that faculty and staff hear emerging budget news as quickly as possible, while also providing opportunities for suggestions and feedback. For more information, see the Economy and the U.
NOTES TO MEND A NATURE DEFICIT DISORDER. Nature requires a patience and attention difficult to pay in this age of deficit. To be sure, there is not a deficit of nature at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum. The sights, sounds, and smells inspire patience and observation with more than 1,000 acres of gardens and landscapes, 5,000 plant varieties, and natural areas from woodlands and wetlands to prairie. And it's a great place to take a walk--just ask arboretum research fellow Julia Bohnen and naturalist Matt Schuth. Or better yet, take a look at their ever-evolving creation, the Nature Notes blog. For more information, see Modern day Muir.
THE CURRENT ECONOMIC SITUATION calls for all of us to use common sense and be practical with our money. That means evaluating current spending, saving money, and being purposeful about using money that comes into our household. In the column Connect @ Home, family resource management Extension educator Shirley Anderson-Porisch writes about practical saving strategies. For more information, see Connect @ Home.

About Diliberto Winery
Sal and Maryann Diliberto are passionate about their Italian heritage and their wines. Their tasting room on Manor Lane in Jamesport, New York in the very heart of Long Island's wine country, is the ultimate expression of these life long passions.
The design of the tasting room allows visitors to taste award winning wines in an atmosphere similar to the experience they would have sitting in a small Piazza in Italy. Unlike most wineries, there is no bar to stand at while tasting their wines. Instead each visitor is seated at a table either on the covered patio, with views of their perfectly manicured lawns and vineyard, or in the amazing Tasting Room whose magnificent interior mural replicates an outdoor café you might find in some picturesque small mountain town in Tuscany.
While you sit and are served award winning Diliberto wines by their caring and knowledgeable staff, the sights and sounds of Italy will surround you and help you to have the ultimate North Fork Wine Country experience.

7th big cat dies at Texas animal refuge from virusAugust 26, 2013 @ 2:12 pm
WYLIE, Texas (AP) - A tiger described as the "soul" of a North Texas animal sanctuary became the seventh big cat to die from an outbreak of a fatal virus, a spokeswoman for the refuge said Monday.
Tacoma, who was 13 years old and weighed in excess of 400 pounds, died Sunday night at In-Sync Exotics Wildlife Rescue and Education Center in the Dallas suburb of Wylie. Spokeswoman Lisa Williams said Tacoma was the sixth tiger killed by canine distemper. A lioness also has died.
More than a dozen other big cats are still suffering from the virus. Experts believe raccoons likely started the outbreak by crawling around the large outdoor cages that house more than 50 lions, tigers, cougars, bobcats and other cats.
An emotional Williams said the death of Tacoma is difficult because he had been with the sanctuary for more than a dozen years and had bonded with founder Vicky Keahey and other workers. He was recovering from surgery to both hips in March when the outbreak of the virus was discovered in May.
"This is a particularly devastating loss," Williams said.
Tacoma, a Siberian, was one of six brothers at the sanctuary who had the same father. Distemper now has killed four of them.
Claire Sharp, an assistant professor of clinical sciences at Tufts University's Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine, has previously said researchers discovered about 30 years ago that the virus, which can afflict many different species, could infect big cats. Outbreaks have included one in Tanzania's Serengeti National Park in 1994 that killed a third of its 3,000 lions.
Although there are vaccines for dogs and ferrets, studies have shown the dog vaccine isn't safe for big cats and there's no evidence of the ferret vaccine being effective in the cats, Sharp said. Williams said that after the outbreak was discovered at her refuge, the ferret vaccine was given to animals that weren't showing symptoms, though five of the six that died were among those vaccinated.
Workers at the Texas refuge have been collecting information to help scientists learn more about the virus while trying to nurse ill animals back to health. The refuge remains open, and experts say the virus poses no threat to humans.

New MRH Program Protects Patients from Potential Medication Problems
A new Middletown Regional Hospital (MRH) initiative aims to protect you from potential medication errors and harmful drug interactions no matter where you are. MRH's Medication Reconciliation program officially rolled out January 3. Its goal is to encourage you to carry a clean, accurate list of your medications wherever you go, thereby minimizing the possibility of medication errors and harmful drug interactions.
Every day Americans use a variety of prescription and over-the-counter medications and dietary supplements. These medications, no matter how harmless they may seem, can be harmful when taken in the wrong combination. When hospitals and physicians have up-to-date medication lists, lives can be saved by catching potential problems before they occur.
"Obtaining accurate lists of patients' medications is paramount to the success of our program," said MRH Director of Nursing Excellence Dee Dee Mosko, RN. "We're encouraging people to keep accurate lists of their home medications and to carry those lists with them when they come to the hospital or go to their doctors' offices. The lists should be updated when new medications are added or deleted."
MRH is promoting use of the home medications card through displays in area doctors' offices, and at primary entrances to the hospital. The display encourages you to list all your prescriptions, over-the-counter medications and dietary supplements on a free card. The card can be carried in a wallet and should be presented at all medical visits. Cards can be obtained from the display or by calling the MRH Marketing Department at (513) 420-5219.

It's been a couple of days since our ship landed (as opposed to my ship coming in) and arriving in New York City by ocean liner is a rather extraordinary experience. Even more astounding is that I actually was able to wake up at 4am to catch the underside of the Verrazano Bridge as we glided below it, then slowing crept up on the softly glowing statue of liberty and all of Manhattan as it was waking up.

Crossing the Atlantic
Whenever people ask me "How often do you get back to the states?" they always seem to be taken aback when I say "Never." It's not that I'm turning my back on my home country, it's just that the idea of sitting in a dismal gray airport (with abysmal food choices), waiting in lengthy lines, going through the frenzy of stripping down for security, getting my privates x-rayed ( – yikes!), then sitting in a cramped seat unable to move for thirteen hours, isn't my idea of fun.
So when the folks at the Queen Mary 2 offered me a trip to compensate for canceling a culinary journey I was to make last year due to the irksome volcano, I jumped at the chance. (Although considering it's a multi-story boat – I should probably use a different word than "jump.") Instead of arriving somewhere all crumpled and jet-lagged, I'm looking forward to sleeping horizontally, in an actual bed, and arriving in America as a normal person. Whatever that is.
Now THAT'S What I Call a Swiss Cheese Sandwich
A Swiss local in Lausanne was the first to tell me about Café Romand, "It's one of those places where – and how do you say it? – those men who are very pretty, that sometimes dress as women, go. You would like it!"
I'm still trying to figure out what that means because no one's every called me "pretty", and my only experience wearing women's clothing was trying on my mother's Emilio Pucci pumps (how could I not?) when I was around eight years old.

Quelle difference
The TGV Lyria train makes the trip to Switzerland is just about three hours. If you buy your tickets in advance, first-class seats aren't that much more expensive than regular fares (sometimes the difference is little as €5) and as a friend said to me, "Since I don't use drugs, I spend the extra money on first-class train tickets."
Lest you think first-class is elitist, I often go second-class. The good thing about first is that the seats have electric outlets, which is great for getting work done. As in, all the 119 pictures you saw on the Swiss posts I processed on the train ride home. Plus there isn't the usual "seating scrum" that happens in second class trains in France where it's not surprising to board the train and find someone in your reserved seat. Then the process is you go sit in another seat. And when that person comes, they go find another seat. I always want to say, "Why doesn't everyone sit where they are supposed to sit?" But Romain tells me, "C'est comme ça. You don't understand." And you know what? He's right.
Aside from having a seat with an electric outlet, and even better—no one in it—when I looked at my ticket it said "Meal Included."
Lard de Begnins
Everyone once in a while – and I could likely count the number of times on one hand – I've put something in my mouth that silenced me. Unfortunately for the people around me, it doesn't happen all that often. But when I was told that there was a special lard made in Nyon, I changed my plans for the morning because something inside me (perhaps my rumbling stomach…) told me that it was something that I just had to check out.
When we pulled up in front of Chez Philou, the windows were blocked by stacked crates of cabbages, no doubt destined for saucisse aux choux fumé, or smoked cabbage sausages, a specialty of the region. But a pile of raw cabbage didn't really interest me as much as the smoky aromas clouding the windows of the shop and wafting outside whenever a customer went in or came out.
8 Things About Hotels I'd Love to See Changed
I've worked in the service industry since I was sixteen years old and realize how hard the work is, and how much the people who work in it are undervalued and generally underpaid. On a recent trip I stayed in quite a few hotels, a different one every day for a week, and realized they could be doing a few things that would make things more pleasant for guests, as well as make life easier for the good people that work there:
1. Put amenities in large refillable bottles.
I've stopped taking home those tiny bottles of shampoo and body lotion. It's not that I don't like them, it's just that I'm no longer that cheap and don't mind spending a few dollars every couple of months to buy my own. I suspect most people that take them aren't merely using them as travel-sized bottles for their carry-ons. I've always wondered what happens to those little bottles if I use them once. Do they get refilled, or tossed away? I assume they're tossed, so I no longer bother to use them and bring my own. But for those who just have carry-ons, let's all make the switch to using large refillable bottles.
2. Give me a checklist with checkboxes asking me what level of service I want.
I am sure there are people out there that like it when someone knocks on their door in the morning, asking if they're in there so they can clean the room. And I am certain some people like it when they're watching television and relaxing in the afternoon and someone stops by to see if they need the minibar filled, then thirty minutes later, another person comes by to lift the top of the sheet from the bed and fold it down, otherwise known as 'turndown service.'

Comté Cheese Making
I was recently joking that when I'm forced to wake up very early in the morning I'm not sure if I should feel sorrier for myself, or for the people around me. So when my friend Jean-Louis, who works with the people who make Comté cheese finally gave in to my incessant pestering to join him for a visit, I was excited when after three years, he finally said "Oui". Actually, he speaks very good English. So he said "Yes".
Lausanne, Switzerland
Everyone has a story about the Swiss, which sometimes ends up with them getting reprimanded for moving something out of the exact place where it belongs. Or arriving 12.5 seconds too late and missing a train. So I was freaking out when I was en route there because I filled out the blank spaces myself on my railpass that asked for my name and passport number. Just after I did that, I read that it said not to do that: the station agent must be the one to take care of it.

Compression garments: Does tight mean right?
`Compression garments are a new trend among athletes who believe the tightfitting clothing enhances exercise performance, but figuring out whether that belief is true is difficult.
The Washington Post
It seems that you can't head to a gym or run down your favorite trail these days without finding someone wearing compression garments. Weekend warriors and elite athletes alike are squeezing themselves into knee-high socks, tights and even full bodysuits that promise to improve performance and speed recovery from hard workouts.
Those claims might be true. Or they might not be. A good bit of research has been conducted on the effectiveness of compression gear, and the results are inconclusive.
Two Indiana University studies released in 2010, for example, found no impact on running performance when highly trained distance runners were outfitted with lower-leg "sleeves," and no effect on jumping ability when 25 average guys wore upper-leg compression garments in three different sizes.
Yet Canadian researchers concluded in a 2012 study that compression socks improved blood flow to calves and "may enhance performance, especially in sports that require repeated short bouts of exercise."
As for recovery, the evidence is somewhat more in favor of compression. Australian researchers who put rugby players in waist-to-ankle tights during "active recovery" runs on a treadmill (what you and I would call a cool-down period) discovered that compression helped remove lactate from their blood. Lactate is the byproduct that causes your muscles to burn during intense exercise.
And University of Connecticut researchers who put men and women in "whole body compression garments" after intense weightlifting found that they helped reduce fatigue, swelling, muscle soreness and other side effects of exercise.
"The bottom line: For runners who buy four pairs of $120 shoes at a time, invest in compression garments for recovery — they won't hurt," Pete McCall, exercise physiologist for the nonprofit American Council on Exercise, told me in an email. "If budget is a concern, take a cold bath and use ice for recovery. It will be more cost-effective."
Absent any serious conflicting evidence, I'm inclined to believe Alyssa Smith, a 39-year-old recreational runner from Gaithersburg, Md., who swears by her CW-X compression pants, which have panels sown into certain spots, such as the knee joints, where extra support is helpful during and after a run. Support — and the idea that the garment helps return blood to tissues more quickly, bringing them oxygen and flushing out lactate and other byproducts — are the main concepts behind compression. The socks have been used for decades by travelers on long plane rides to prevent blood clots.
During a long run, the tights hold Smith's back and hips tightly and help keep her knees aligned as she fatigues, she said. After long runs — Smith runs 30 to 35 miles a week — she now wears them instead of taking an ice bath, which she never liked, to reduce inflammation and swelling.
"I almost feel that it does what an ice bath does, but [it's] not as cold," she said. "The tights you can wear all day and sleep in them at night." (Ice baths, by the way, are not grounded in good research, either, according to Kenneth L. Knight, a professor of athletic training at Brigham Young University who has spent his career studying cryotherapy for athletes. But many athletes love them.)
Under Armour, the athletic-apparel behemoth based in Baltimore, sprang more or less from founder Kevin Plank's belief in the value of compression. Tightfitting "base layers," as Under Armour calls them, reduce injury and enhance performance by wrapping muscles more tightly against the skeleton, even as they wick away sweat to keep athletes cooler and drier, said Glenn Silbert, vice president of men's, youth and accessories.
The company doesn't release sales figures, but compression gear continues to be a fast-growing part of the business, he said. According to the Sports and Fitness Industry Association, Americans bought about $930 million worth of compression gear and similar garments in 2011, up 5 percent from 2010.
One last, fascinating thought about compression garments: At least one researcher has found a placebo effect when it comes to recovery. That is, athletes recovered better in them because they believed they would.
In July, Rob Aughey, a senior lecturer in sport physiology at Victoria University's School of Sport and Exercise Science in Australia, told the website News.com.au: "When testing CGs in elite athletes, we found that wearing them did result in an improvement in the perception of pain and fatigue for the athlete. However, we found no evidence to suggest that the garments can help improve the actual rate of physical recovery."

In the 70's and 80's, Scott Mathauser pads were THE pads to upgrade your bike with! The compound they developed is rust-oxide based, and is one of the best performing and longest lasting pad compounds ever made! They're so good, Kool Stop uses the exact same material in their popular "Salmon" pads.
These pads are Campy specific, and fit most Campagnolo brake pad holders from the 1960's, 1970's, and 1980's. Very popular for Nuovo Record and Super Record brakes. They would be even cooler as an upgrade to go along with our O.M.A.S. upgrade Campy hardware! (see below(

Yamaha's Fazer range of bikes used to be all about hard-working, do it all, value for money bikes. One look at the today's price for the new Fazer8 says otherwise when comparing it to the competition – and the fact there is the slightly bigger capacity but vastly superior FZ1 in Yamaha's line up. But what you have to remember ...

There was a time when Yamaha's Tenere range of bikes ruled the earth, literally. As desert and dirt blasters for Paris-Dakar like competitions, the name Tenere became synonymous with adventure and off-road riding. Then it all went quiet and BMW took on the mantle of Adventure bike champions with its modern-day GS range.Yamaha's revival started with the 2008 XT660Z Tenere, ...

One of the laziest new bike developments for 2010, the Yamaha XJ6 Diversion F is simply a standard Diversion with a full fairing and ABS. It's a similarly easy to ride all-rounder that's practical as a day-to-day bike, but it's a bit more stylish than the half-faired bike.

The Yamaha XT600E is about as straightforward, reliable and solid as an old school trail bike gets. The Yamaha XT600E was the last of a long line of 4-valve air-cooled Yamaha singles, starting off with the original, much-loved XT500 of the mid-70s. This is a true trailie: decent off-round and straightforward and ujn-fussy on. Don't expect any frills or motorway ...

The Yamaha YZF1000R Thunderace started out as Yamaha's last throw of the old school superbike dice, and resulted in the final incarnation of the FZR1000 EXUP. But ironically the Thunderace has proved to be a better big bore sports touring motorcycle than out-and-out superbike – albeit a humungously fast one. If you like your superbikes big and brash and with room ...
249cc, 19bhp, 71mph, Insurance group 7
The Yamaha TTR250 is a hardy wee beastie. As an undemanding, unfussy enduro bike for newer riders it excels, with a never-say-die single cylinder motor that has just enough pep for muddy fun. Now deleted from Yamaha's range the Yamaha TT250R is still a sound used buy providing you don't have to go too far on the tarmac.
1063cc, 64bhp, 109mph, Insurance group 14
Owners love their Yamaha BT1100 Bulldogs. Everyone else hates 'em. Depending on your point of view the Yamaha BT1100 Bulldog is either a relaxing, better-braked alternative to a cruiser, rather like a Japanese version of a Moto Guzzi Breva (that won't break down), or it's an ill-handling, gutless chump of a thing that would sooner dump you on your backside ...
649cc, 40bhp, 96mph, Insurance group 8
The Yamaha XVS650 Drag Star is a fun and hassle-free way to enjoy your cruising. It's got a low, comfy seat, big bike looks, ease of use and nice styling on its side. Add that to a low purchase price and the Yamaha XVS650 Drag Star makes a good case for itself as an affordable alternative to Harley's 883 Sportster ...
1670cc, 90bhp, 131mph, Insurance group 16
The Yamaha MT-01 has radical, straight-from-show-concept-bike styling allied to monstrous road presence which gives this motorcycle a kick-in-the-teeth visual appeal like no other. Build and detailing is fabulous and the thunderous engine sounds like no other. Shame performance is merely average yet the price stratospheric, then.

Great Sunscreen!
9 people found the following review helpful
Posted by Reviewer1109722 on Jun 26, 2012
Purchased at iHerb
This is my favorite sunscreen and I have tried a bunch (thinkbaby, trukids, aubrey organics, badger, etc.). It has a great consistency and goes on smoothly. It smells great, kind of like coconut mint. It does leave you skin a lighter tone, but all natural sunscreens do. It's not as bad as others. It works. I've been in full sun for 3-4 hours and no sun burn. It's safe. It has the same exact ingredients as Tropical Sands which is rated as a 1 on the EWG website. Also, it's cheap! At least compared to other natural sunscreens which can be $3-$6 per ounce. This stuff is under $2 and ounce!
Very nice

I find this sunscreen dries a couple of minutes after application with no oily or heavy residue at all. I was previously using Badger sunscreen and did not like the heavy residue it left, especially on my face.
Great sunscreen

This is a good sunscreen. It goes on easily, blends in and doesn't leave too much of a white tinge. It's touch as zinc oxide and titanium dioxide can leave that whitish tinge, but this rubs in fairly well. It also smells great and did a great job of protecting my skin from the Corfu sunshine! It's the only sunscreen I will be buying in future.

I LOVE this sunscreen. I think it smells good (I love essential oil smells), and although it does go on with a whitish tint, I like it cause you can see where you've applied it. I wore it in the sun for over 4 hours on a hot day and I didn't get even the slightest bit pink. I'm pretty fair but once I tan I don't burn. I love that this has all natural ingredients, and that I'm not putting toxic chemicals on my skin. I will only wear this when I will be in the sun for a long time (1-2+ hours). It's good to get some unprotected sun exposure for vitamin D!
great product :)

Liked this sunscreen. Nice and light, definitely not as thick as some of the zinc sunscreens on the market! Not oily and my very fair skin didn't get sunburnt.

About the Collection
The philosophy and driving force behind SENNA Cosmetics is that every woman has a unique beauty imprint, and makeup has an almost magical power to enhance, transform and express that beauty.
Created in 1976 by Emmy-nominated artist Eugenia Weston, SENNA was the first professional makeup artist line to introduce more natural, wearable colors for everyday women. Now SENNA is the favorite of Hollywood film and television makeup pros, beauty editors, A-list celebrities and women of all ages and stages.
SENNA is known for its superb skin perfecting foundations, richly pigmented eye colors, innovative mineral makeup, and the patented Form-A-Brow® stencil kit that launched a whole new beauty category by giving women perfect, classic brows in minutes.
The award winning SENNA Cosmetics Studios is the incubator of fashion trend collections and new products that push the envelope in color, texture, anti-aging benefits and remarkable results.
About the Guest
Eugenia Weston has been a pioneer in the cosmetics industry for over three decades. Gifted with an incredible eye for facial structure and a remarkable sense of color and design, she began to create her inimitable makeup line early, concocting her own natural colors at the age of 13, long before 'natural' was in vogue.
She became the first licensed makeup artist in California. Honored to have worked with top fashion photographers and being noted as an 'inspiration' by a makeup artist icon, Eugenia teaches professional artists. Fanatical about shapely brows, Eugenia created the first brow shaping tool with stencils so that everyone can have beautiful brows.
