- Samba reviewMossad13Dined on 11/23/2014Not sure why. Our food all came at the same time which felt a bit rushed. Especially on a Sunday night when it wasn't that busy. Second time there. It wasn't as good as my first time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best restaurant in Las VegasOpenTable Diner Since 2012VIPDined on 11/18/2014We did the tasting menu. Nothing they brought was bad. It was all amazing and very memorable!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very Good Late Dinner!!GolfgirlVIPDined on 11/16/2014We came here after the RocknRoll Marathon, service was good, food very good and fast which was great because I was tired and hungry!! I'd definitely return:)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not worth itOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/16/2014Overpriced, not the best quality by any stretch. We realize this was in a casino on the strip but for what we paid we really expected better product quality. Not a place we'd go back to.
- Request Chef TastingMoeButta2VIPDined on 11/15/2014instead of ordering from the menu, the waiter offered an option where he quizzed us on likes, dislikes and food allergies then asked us a price range per person ($70-$90 we chose). And if we didn't like what came out there wouldbe no charge. We had a magnificent 5 course meal that was simple yet complex with flavors. This will be a repeat on our next trip to Las Vegas.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Absolutely amazing!!FoodComaDined on 11/14/2014The food here is awesome!! Every time we go we are extremely happy with our experience! This time we had a group of 10 and did the tasting menu. The food combinations sound a little scary, but there was not one item that anyone from the group said they did not like. Every bit of food was eaten and every tummy was full and happy!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Love SushisambaBirdieDined on 11/11/2014I always really enjoy dining here. It is my special go-to place whenever friends come to town that really enjoy a different food experience! The food is delicious, with every bite a full experience. The restaurant is always really lively. It is best to just tell the waiter to bring his suggestions of all small plates to share. That way, you are able to experience flavors that you wouldn't necessarily order. I have never been disappointed. The cucumber martinis with added Jalapeño are fabulous!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food organism with every bite!JackStephenDined on 11/9/2014Just some of the most incredible dishes I've ever had! Incredible variety and all delicious. Range of sake from really good and affordable to mind blowing and expensive. Very attentive service too! Great overall experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Excellent food & serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/29/2014Brought a client for dinner with high expectations and was not disappointed in the least. Our server was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. He offered to put together a menu for us at a specific price point. Everything was fantastic. The food was top notch--sushi, Chilean sea bass, even the steak was amazing. I tried to empty my water glass, but the wait staff would always beat me to it. Highest recommendation!Special Features:
- Amazing Sushi, Not Amazing ServiceNikita1569VIPDined on 10/26/2014We had reservations after a show and were seated promptly upon arrival. The chucumber cocktail is fabulous, as were all of our apps and rolls. The salt and pepper squid was incredible! All of the rolls we ordered were fresh and delicious. Service, however, was lacking. Our waiter was clearly overwhelmed and totally scattered. It took forever to get the check and pay the bill, and we had to flag him down for everything. He never came by to check on us once. I have been to Sushi Samba in NYC and Miami as well and always had good service. Service fell flat at this location.I would recommend this to a friend.
- AmazingRosaHDined on 10/25/2014This place was great! I love the fact that we can choose a price range per person and they will give you a taste of basically the best items on their menu. Peruvian, Brazilian, and Japanese are an amazing combo. Sushi samba thank you for making my friend's bachlorette dining experience amazing. We all loved it!Special Features:
- Started off ok but ended greatFungirlsnightoutDined on 10/25/2014We had a rocky start. We reserved the restaurant for 4 for my birthday and were offered weird tables and told others were all reserved. Thankfully things got much better after that. The food was delicious, the service was excellent. It was my birthday and they brought out dessert to acknowledge it. Everything we tasted was great...especially green bean tempura with amazing truffle sauce, the chicken dish, the beef gyozas... Our waiter was fantastic (I wish I could remember his name...he has been there 6 years, was friendly, funny, made great recommendations, was the right level of attentitive...). All in all would definitely return.Special Features:
- amazing!FoodiefanaticDined on 10/25/2014Amazing food Amazing staff Amazing presentation We ordered Scallops- creatively Plated on oyster shells Ceviche tacos Filet minon Seabass Very small plates But each bite had you wanting more! Just needed someone else's wallet and i could have dined to my heart's content! They brought us a flight of their signature drink served in a tree like structure for my friend's pre-wedding party. Such a nice touch. The manager delivered it and made sure to stop by to say hi. Delicious and a must to try!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- YumSocrahDined on 10/22/2014Absolutely delicious. My boyfriend and I couldn't decide what to order to the waiter said he's bring us a "seafood extravaganza" keeping it 50-60$ each. We received 5 courses all of which sampled a little bit of each style of food of the restaurant (Peruvian, Japanese, and Brazilian). everything was super yummy. Definitely one if the best meals I've ever had.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- excellent dining experiencePmacDined on 10/18/2014we ate there twice- both times - awesome thank youSpecial Features:
- Excellent dinnerEllaDined on 10/18/2014We came with a group for a special occasion. Our waiters Kiley was excellent. He gave us choices, asked who like what and more important what don't we like to eat. Then the food started rolling out and it was all excellent. Favorite dish was sea bass.Special Features:
- Awesome to the max!DivinePERIODDined on 10/17/2014This has become a must have stop every time we're in Vegas. The chef does the tasting menu based on favorites yet always includes Sea Bass and Kobe on the rock.Special Features:
- Place to go in Vegasfd4toughtDined on 10/15/2014Great service and food. I did go with a vegetarian friend and the chef did create a superb and delicious choice of vegetarian dishes for us. Service was very attentive an impeccable. Will go back there anytime I'm in VegasSpecial Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 10/11/2014Hostess didn't get us a table at our reserved time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not bad not greatDD12Dined on 10/11/2014This place is very expensive but unlike expensive restaurants the environment was very plain and noisy, like any common restaurant. The food was good and was quite unique but wasn't distinguished enough to justify the price, you are mostly paying to eat on the strip. All in all you'll have a good meal but it won't be mind-blowing and it's not a very romantic environment because it is a noisy restaurant and the tables are all on top of one another. Final comment: Good meal, just ok environment, too expensive for what you're gettingSpecial Features:
- This review is for sushi onlyOpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 10/11/20141. Cold tofu in the miso soup 2. Sashimi - extremely small portions and tasted very weird 3. California roll, Neo Tokyo and some other rolls (do not recall the names) - very dry, no flavors It supposed to be one of the best sushi places in Las Vegas but I honestly had better sushi in cheap sushi boats.
- Fun findMLDelMarDined on 10/9/2014Went here on last business trip to Vegas. Had the chef's surprise menu. We just had to say what we didn't like and how much we wanted to pay pp and the courses flowed. All wonderful. Our male colleague enjoyed it so much he wanted his wife to experience it this trip. We asked for a quiet table and were led to the room in the back of the restaurant . It was fairly empty. By the end of the meal all tables were full but the noise level was bearable. The food was fabulous as per our 1st visit. Standout was wagu beef cooked at table on a hot rock served with variety of sauces--especially tender and tasty and worth the extra pp charge. Everything was presented beautifully and was delicious. Great cocktails. Good beer list. Going back again. Soon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Sushi!GDockfoodieDined on 10/2/2014This is a bustling, hot spot which was okay for my husband and I. Service was attentive, our sushi was incredible and an added bonus was a birthday cake pop for me.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- FOOD WAS AMAZING!!!BLESSEDMOMX6Dined on 9/28/2014Sushisamba was recommended to me by a co-worker. I went to Las Vegas to celebrate my daughter's 21st birthday and wanted somewhere that included good food and good ambience. This restaurant has both!!! I will admit that it is somewhat "pricey", but there are some average priced sushi rolls.... located WAY on the bottom, right side of the menu. I read a review where someone recommended the grilled asparagus - a definate MUST!! We enjoyed the tempura, asparagus, several rolls.... and don't forget.... YOU MUST ORDER A CUCUMBER MARTINI!!! Truly amazing. Also, our waiter and bus boys were awesome and very attentive to our needs.Special Features:
- ..carinissimogaetanor6Dined on 9/27/2014Locale molto carino che si adatta ad ogni circostanza. Basta scegliere il tavolo giusto. Cibo ottimo ma secondo me un po' caro. Ma cosa volete siamo a Las Vegas Lo consiglioSpecial Features:
- Excellent omakaseCoHighPriestessDined on 9/26/2014We were in Vegas for my brother's 40th birthday. Although our party of 6 had 4 non-adventurous eaters, everyone agreed to let Ryan, our waiter, choose orchestrate our dining experience, picking menu options for us based on our likes/dislikes. He did an excellent job - maybe erring on the side of too much delicious food! The hybrid Japanese/Peruvian/Brazilian dishes and flavors were really, really good. Even my brother said this meal blew away his birthday dinner at Gordon Ramsey's Steakhouse.Special Features:
- SushisambaOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/24/2014Had the best dinning experience, food was spectacular, the wine was delightfulSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/19/2014The food here was amazing! The service was excellent, as well. From the front when we had to change our reservation. To our server who was very attentive and gave great food recommendations! Loved the feel of the restaurant, however the two seated tables were a bit compact... I get trying to preserve space, but was not feeling the two seated tables...Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Beware about not having all guestsXavierVIPDined on 9/16/2014Food and drinks always consistently good at any SS...but customer beware that the hostess may play Xena the Warrior Princess on you should you be missing any of your guests. One would think that if you sit some of the party down they may order more drinks- but no, not at this SS. Was trapped coming from a meeting and despite having a reservation was being proposed to wait 15mim because I had reduced the # from 6 to 4, but at the slight suggestion of a bad review magically a table for 4 was ready- next to another one completely empty. Go figure!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Absolutely perfectMattVIPDined on 9/15/2014Fantastic experience for dinner with prospective client. The food hosen for us was outstanding as we decided to have the chef's menu. One of our party needed gluten-free and the level of service around that restriction, in addition to the general service, was perfect. Thanks for making me look good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Creative Cuisine at SushisambaChesterfieldVIPDined on 9/14/2014We returned to Sushisamba in Las Vegas for a second time and it was every bit as good as our first. One person in our group didn't care for sushi so our server brought us several non-sushi items to share--all absolutely delicious. Tell your server what you enjoy and what you don't and let him/her bring dishes out one at a time. What a treat.Special Features:
- Great food. Horrible waiter.RfightDined on 9/14/2014Food was great. That is the food we got. Three items we ordered never made it to our table. Come to think of it our waiter didn't come much either.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Overpriced and underwhelmedcammac00Dined on 9/10/2014Our waitress didn't want to give us menus, tried to up sell us at every order. One entree came 20 minutes before the rest of the table got sushi. The sushi was just OK and a few of us left still hungry. Very disappointed.
- Good Not Great, expecting betterprickleypeteDined on 9/8/2014Just average Sushi, too pricy to compare with better places. Busy, noisy, they rush you in and out with a feeling like they want to turn over the table.
- WonderfulFooodyDined on 9/8/2014My husband and I had a wonderful evening with the food being outstanding! What I liked most was how creative the food was for we have eaten at some of the best sushi places all over this was a unique experience for us ! The service was very quick but not pushy.Special Features:

By Louis Hyman

During World War I, as cities pulled every young man who wasn't a doughboy into their factories, the U.S. became an urban nation.

After the war, there was a sharp and short depression in 1920 from which the cities quickly recovered, but rural America did not. That year, the census recordeed more people living in cities than in the country. Returning soldiers looked for work in the cities rather than return home. And all those people needed somewhere to live.

Thus was born the great housing boom of the 1920s. The wartime demand for city housing and businesses drove rents and prices as high as skyscrapers.

How would all the mortgages for these apartments and houses be funded? Lenders simply followed the people. For decades, urban investors had bought stakes in farm mortgage bonds. With the agricultural economy in such straits and the urban economy booming, groups such as the Farm Mortgage Bankers Association of America (which later dropped the "Farm" from its name) reoriented their sights on the cities, looking for ways to lend to these new urban dwellers, bringing their experience in turning mortgages into bonds.

Urban mortgage lenders in the 1920s stopped relying strictly on savers' deposits to fund home mortgages. They developed a bond to fund them, just like bonds had been used to finance farm mortgages. This "participation certificate" (or PC) wasn't marginal. At its peak, real-estate bonds funded one-quarter of all urban mortgage debt, equal in volume to the bond debt of industrial corporations.

The PC worked like a bond. An investor bought it from a mortgage company (called a bond house) or a small bank and received a monthly interest payment. At the end of a set time, usually a few years, the principal of the bond could be redeemed.

But unlike normal bonds, which were backed by the government or a corporation, these were guaranteed by mortgage payments -- usually balloon mortgages of homes or rental properties. The PC lacked the slicing and dicing used to securitize debt in more recent times, but the basic idea was the same: The mortgage holder received a monthly payment and then paid the PC investors.

Time magazine reassured readers in 1926 that "real estate bonds are by no means jeopardous investments. In fact, they should be the best of all securities, for they are backed by tangible buildings and real estate."

Such reasoning reassured investors then, as now, about the inevitability of rising house prices.

Banks loved the new invention because it allowed them to skirt regulations. Although the Federal Reserve regulated the proportion of savings that could be lent as mortgages (half of savings deposits) there were no restrictions on mortgages funded by bonds. These bonds, however, had a maximum length of five years, forcing the mortgage debt to be refunded, at minimum, every five years. But since the balloon mortgage, so popular in the 1920s, was refinanced every three to five years, there shouldn't have been a problem as long as more investors could be found.

Investors loved the bonds because they were issued in small denominations. Most PC buyers, unlike the sophisticated buyers of corporate bonds, had never purchased a bond before. Usually a salary man or a union man, the investor lived modestly and a $100 bond fit neatly in the annual budget. Every month, the investor received a complimentary magazine from his bond house that mixed in investment advice on the virtues of their bonds over the competition. Small men felt like big shots.

Yet though they looked like regular corporate bonds, PCs were not the same. Unlike corporate bonds, there was no secondary market. Most commercial banks refused to accept real-estate bonds as collateral; PCs were born toxic. But this mattered little to small investors because they intended to hold the debt to maturity.

Whether enough money was available at the bank to refinance the balloon mortgages of all those urban homeowners depended on whether the PC investors decided to reinvest their money. In good times, when it seemed like mortgage borrowers could make their payments, the PCs seemed like a reliable investment.

By 1925, however, things began to look more dubious. Those who wondered at the surge in property values were, according to the New York Times, condemned by developers as "unpatriotic." Developers paid their architects and contractors in mortgages, rather than cash, promising them a piece of the action down the line, putting none of their own money at risk. The system worked out fine for a few years, as rising rents propped up profits and the buildings themselves. New construction hit $690 million in North America in 1926.

After 1929, as home prices fell and the unemployment rate rose, such investments became more precarious. Without another round of investors, the underlying balloon mortgages couldn't be refinanced. Houses could be foreclosed on, but then who would buy them? As those PCs came due, skittish investors stopped reinvesting and the amount of money available for mortgages dried up. Whereas through the 1920s homeowners could easily refinance their balloon mortgages, banks now demanded they pay off the loan or face foreclosure.

Investor anxiety fed on itself and very quickly the U.S. mortgage-bond market was dead.

The housing crisis of the Great Depression wasn't caused by job loss as much as by the structure of the underlying financial instruments that anticipated rising asset values and easy refinancing, neither of which held after the Crash of 1929.

The Home Owners' Loan Corporation, inaugurated in 1933, slowed the collapse of the mortgage markets, but couldn't save the PC. After 1931, no more real-estate bonds of this type were issued. By 1935, about 80 percent of the $10 billion in real-estate bonds outstanding were in default. The restrictions against real-estate bonds in the federal securities legislation of 1933 and 1934 mattered less, in a contemporary economist's view, than the "distaste already acquired by investors for real estate bonds."

And until 1970, when Fannie Mae issued its first mortgage-backed security, that distaste remained a powerful force. Let's hope we can better remember this time around.

|Im going to lump Hoke's #2
Im going to lump Hoke's #2 and #3 into some combination of this year's ND game asa whole, the last minute of the miami first half, and this past Saturday. I dont recall one minute of football losing me as much as that end of half debacle against miami. Delay of game coming out of a TO just extinguished the very last piece of hope I had that Hoke could be our guy.

At the SD UM alumni bar in pacific beach. Just happened to be next to the Ohio alumni bar. That made it extra special as droves of scarlet clad mouth breathers started to pile in to our bar at the beginning of the 4th Q to enjoy the atmosphere.
One guy in a wife beater was I kid you not going from table to table of michigan fans challenging them to fight, literally walking up to groups of Michigan alums and saying stuff like, "come on bitch, hit me first so I can knock you the fucking out". It was sort of like when you're a little kid that doesn't have the mental capacity yet to separate your emotions.
On the way out ohio fans lined both sides of the sidewalk to serenaded us with claps and cheers. They literally waited and wasted their day to laugh at us walking to our cars.
It was a nice little Saturday.

Would be great to see them get into the World Series unseeded on the road the entire way.

|Fantastic Article. I'm a little confused though about
the Kentucky center mention. I'm not sure if you are saying that he should be drafted better than the #9 or worse than at #9 .
If you extrapolate his numbers over a 40 minute game you get 12/10.2/5.1 (blocks!) but then point out that he shoots less than 50% from the line. So his stats are fantastic but his FT shooting is horrid.
I think he sounds like a great prospect to me. Just not sure which way you are looking at it.

|Good question. I have kept my
Good question. I have kept my tix since I graduated in 1998 and have spent 10 of the last 15 years living in either North Carolina or Los Angeles. I have come back for 2-3 big games each year and given/sold the balance to friends/family. I am now in Chicago and have been considering giving up my season tix as I am now able to still go to the big game(s) every year mixed in with various away games (last year ND & Alabama, this year NW) which I find very enjoyable as well.
For me the consideration to relinquish my tix are based on three things: 1. My new proximity to away games which are actually on average as close or closer than AA. 2. The absurd explosion of ticket prices/PSL. 3. 2014 home schedule (how Brandon allowed MSU to host us in 2014 over his dead body is beyond ridiculous)
My decision has not been affected whatsoever since our win over ND. I generally only care to go to our home opener + ND/other decent OOC game + MSU/PSU/Ohio. So I just do not see a reason to continue to write a check for $1,000-1,500 every April for 2-3 games each year then go through the hassle to unload the other 4-5 games every fall. I'd prefer to pony up $50 for the opener, $200-250 for a big game home ticket then catch a game or two at Purdue/IU/Iowa/Illinois/Wisky/NW/etc. every fall.
So while I may be one of those that is "threatening" to give up his 2014 tix after 15 years it is not for the same reasons that are driving this thread.

Running those numbers for every play this season would be very time consuming. But I would be interested to see the mix of run/pass when Funchess used to line up as a TE vs. Williams for the first half dozen games. Gotta be 20/80 & 80/20 respectively.
I also wonder about other teams' tendancies as well, if they would tip their hands with personnel on the field decisions. If I were an OC one of my main goals would be to keep all as close to 50/50, or 60/40 worst case, splits just in case other teams hired Seths to do such time-consuming research.
Well done.

Bought this to carry my wife's woman's style bike on a rear mount bike carrier on the back of a small SUV. It looks fine, not that you buy it for appearance, very quick & easy to install & remove. The latches on the opening ends seem stout & good quality. I hate to rate anything 5 stars on quality until I've seen how it holds up over time & use. I wish it had more locking hole adjustments for the sliding extendable main bar. It only has one locking position that is too far out-you can't extend the tube far enough to lock on my wife's bike. That allows the tube & the bike to slide a little L to R unless you bungie it down with a few bungies. It seems a little pricey for what it is, but I think that about most things. It is stout, I don't worry about it failing & dropping the bike.

The Thule was very easy to assemble. The only thing I caution you about is to make sure you tighten the the slide carriers very secure.I will be putting a larger bolt at the back to make certain the rear bike can't slide off. The bike rack is very easy to put the bikes on it. It also had very limited movement on the highway. this is the first bike rack I have ever owned, so I have nothing to compare it to.

Puzzle Quest 2 is a worthy sequel in every measure. It improves the look and feel of the original, successfully builds on its mechanics, and still feels different enough to provide a sense of novelty and newness.
Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords was one of the most addictive games of all time. Its blend of genres and stunning gameplay left lines scored in touch screens and tiles burnt into televisions. Now, the sequel has managed to improve upon the original in every way, even fixing the AI, which many believed "cheated" before.
Simple, addictive and fun, with just enough complexity to keep things interesting, Puzzle Quest 2 is a "casual game" winner.
The repetitive nature can wear on you if you play Puzzle Quest 2 for more than a few hours, but it's still one of the best pick-up-and-play, zone-out-for-a-while titles the Nintendo DS has to offer.
Feb 23, 2011Puzzle Quest 2 has its problems, that much is for sure. Look past the problems, and you'll find a game that's still pretty darn addicting.
After a few mixed spin-offs such as Puzzle Chronicles, the unexpected success of 2008 in the reflexion gender is now back in favor.
Most RPGs are meant to be played steadily, but Puzzle Quest 2 is most assuredly not the sort of game to be played at length. In short bursts separated from each other by lengthy periods spent doing something else, the mechanics remain entertaining.

Aug 19, 2010I'm giving this a big thumbs up. It's a definite improvement over the first. Taking emphasis off regeneration abilities (though cool in traditional RPG-sense) makes this particular game better.
The perspective change takes a bit getting used to. It's more immersive than the first with it's more big-overhead-map view, but even with the map I don't have as good a sense of my position in the "world" relative to everything else. In short, the "scale" of the game seems a bit reduced. Not necessarily bad, just different.
So far, I'm about level 15 on the Assassin (or Rogue, whatever can't remember) class.
Similar to the first game, it can get monotonous doing battle after battle with a long lead-up until you have enough gems to make some interesting moves/combo's. That said, once you do get stocked up, things are more interesting/strategic than the previous game.
Other additions such as the treasure loot mini-game are pure genius and great additions/innovations. Vegas Casino's should adopt this game!
If they can innovate at this pace, PQ3 will be a beast. The good news is they are improving on the formula and I see a day when this type of game can command a full $50-60 price tag.… Expand
Jan 6, 2012A bit easier to play than the first (or, at least, it's harder to be bad at this one than the first). But by the time I was done, I was so unbelievable sick and tired of the game, of the combat, of the side quests, of everything. (I have since played through the first one again and enjoyed it more than this one.)… Expand

Tomorrow I'm doing something that will take me a step closer to becoming a professional microstock contributor. A big step.
Turning professional is about getting your microstock earnings above the cost of the lifestyle you want to have as a pro. The key is in looking at both sides of that comparison. (no, that's NOT me in the photo!)
While we all strive to increase our earnings, the prospect of doing something we love as our primary source of income (full time) might be worth a few lifestyle sacrifices. Thus, reducing your cost of living can get you to 'pro' status sooner.
If you're extremely fortunate, like me, you get to make a change you're happy about that also reduces your living expenses. So tomorrow, I'm moving from Australia to Argentina. The exchange...

However, what state Sen. Wendy Davis has shown is that abortion will be defeated only when more pro-life women enter the political arena and make their voices heard.The unborn ask only for a chance at life. On Tuesday night, they were denied that right.In every state where the radical evil of abortion has been supported, there has been decay and ruin.Please pray that the unborn get the chance to see the light of day. — David J.

WEDNESDAY, Jan. 22, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Could your warm and cozy home be hindering your weight-loss efforts?
Dutch researchers say keeping temperatures a little chillier at home and the office might be an additional weapon in the fight against obesity.
"What would it mean if we let our bodies work again to control body temperature?" said study author Dr. Wouter van Marken Lichtenbelt, an associate professor in the department of human biology at Maastricht University Medical Center.
In the new study, his team explored whether frequent exposure to mild cold temperatures would boost the body's energy expenditure. In other words, would peoples' metabolisms ratchet up a notch -- burning more calories -- if they lived on the cool side?
Prior studies have shown that shivering increases heat production in people, according to the study. And one Japanese study found that people experienced a drop in body fat after spending two hours a day for six weeks at a temperature of about 63 degrees Fahrenheit.
Of course, chilly temperatures can bring on the shivers. The researchers said shivering is a short-term biological response to extreme cold that protects humans from hypothermia, or dangerously low body temperatures. More recent studies show that another type of shivering, called non-shivering thermogenesis (NST) -- an animal response to fighting milder cold temperatures -- also increases heat output, but not so fast that a body can't keep up with producing heat.
"In most young and middle-aged people, NST increases by between a few percent and 30 percent in response to mild cold exposure," the researchers said in their report. "Thus, NST can have a physiologically significant effect upon energy expenditure."
Prior research from the Dutch team showed that people gradually acclimate themselves to cooler room temperatures. People who spent six hours a day at 59 degrees Fahrenheit felt more comfortable and shivered less by the end of 10 days in this environment, the researchers found.
The paper is largely based on theory, said Dr. Mitchell Lazar, chief of the division of endocrinology, diabetes and metabolism at the University of Pennsylvania.
"But there is certainly evidence in people as well as rodents to suggest that reducing temperature makes the body burn more calories to keep up body temperature," said Lazar, who was not involved in the new study.
So how much time sitting in a chilly room would it take to burn, say, 100 calories? It's too early to know, said van Marken Lichtenbelt.
"We do have clear evidence that cold adaptation increases energy expenditure," he said. "There is no doubt in this respect. How pronounced these effects are in everyday life, especially in the long term, is not yet known."
The researchers are planning long-term experiments that involve having people live in cooler environments while tracking their weight over time. "We will vary indoor temperature and weight, and many other health parameters will be monitored," van Marken Lichtenbelt said.
"The other experiment ... is 'cold-temperature training,' also known as 'acclimatization,'" van Marken Lichtenbelt said. "This has been shown to rev up brown fat in rodents, and it seems possible that it could do the same in people."
Unlike white fat, brown fat burns calories instead of storing them. Some studies have shown that brown fat has beneficial effects on blood sugar tolerance, fat metabolism and body weight.
"It would be very interesting to do something like this in people who are dieting and exercising to lose weight, to see if this strategy could increase the weight loss or even allow the diet and exercise plan to work," van Marken Lichtenbelt said. "We know that so many people struggle with diet and exercise alone."
Is it worth turning down the thermostat if you're trying to shed some pounds? It's too soon to be certain that strategy would work, said Lazar, who also is the director of the University of Pennsylvania's Institute for Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism.
"It would do no harm," he said. "It's worth a try for someone who is having trouble losing weight by diet and exercise alone."

Returning offensive starters: 5, including offensive lineman Andre Collier, who was a second-team All-Desert Sky Region selection last year.
Returning defensive starters: 6, including linebacker Keegan Allen, who had a team-high 90 tackles last season.
Aug. 26 at Tempe, Sept. 2 at Cesar Chavez, Sept. 9 vs. Camelback, Sept. 16 at Willow Canyon, Sept. 23 vs. Chaparral, Sept. 30 vs. South Mountain, Oct. 7 vs. Shadow Mountain, Oct. 14 at Marcos de Niza, Oct. 21 at Notre Dame, Oct. 28 vs. Perry
Sept. 2 at Cesar Chavez: The schedule is light early on, and if McClintock can pull out this game, it has a chance of starting 4-0. This will be the first indication of how well the spread offense Matt Lewis employed at Saguaro translates with the Chargers.
Oct. 14 at Marcos de Niza: The Padres have increased their talent level through open enrollment and transfers, at times taking players who should have been at McClintock (most notably last year's star running back, Anthony Shivers). One of the quickest ways for the Chargers to rebuild is to be competitive in this game.
Oct. 28 at Perry: McClintock could be on the playoff bubble as the season finale beckons. This is the last of a tough three-game stretch to finish the season, and if the Chargers can win it, it bodes well.
McClintock sputtered to a 2-8 finish last season, but there is renewed optimism at the school under new coach Matt Lewis.
Saguaro's former offensive coordinator brings over a spread offense that gave opposing teams fits the past four seasons. Lewis likes going no-huddle, which really tests a defense's stamina and discipline.
There won't be the same elite athletes running the ball as at Saguaro, but Lewis likes the team's overall depth.
Junior Xavier Gomez will be the starting quarterback, and Lewis said Gomez has a similar grasp of the offense as Teddy Ruben did as a junior for Saguaro. Ruben went on to become the Tribune's Player of the Year as a senior last year, leading the Sabercats to the 4A Division I state championship.
Billy Suell and Josh Aberle will be the team's main running backs. Suell, a senior, has a good ability to find running lanes, and Aberle is a home run threat. Bryce Posten will likely be the go-to wide receiver.
McClintock's starting linebackers, including all-region selections Semir Andelija and Keegan Allen, will play defense-only, which should keep them fresh. Posten and Joe Wells are the starting cornerbacks, and Lewis said he won't shy away from letting those two match up one-on-one with wide receivers.
The line play should be decent on both sides, but Lewis said an injury or two at those spots could really give the team trouble.
The first four games of the season are winnable, although McClintock finishes with Chaparral, Marcos de Niza, Notre Dame and Perry within its final six contests.

Osteopetrosis: A rare cause of anemia

Normocytic anaemia is caused either by hypoproliferation of haemopoietic tissue or increased destruction of red cells. Osteopetrosis is a rare cause of anaemia. Infantile osteopetrosis (also called malignant osteopetrosis) is diagnosed early in life. But it is the adult osteopetrosis (also called benign osteopetrosis) which is diagnosed in late adolescence or adulthood that present as anaemia which is difficult to diagnose and treat. Approximately one half of patients are asymptomatic, and the diagnosis is made incidentally, often in late adolescence because radiologic abnormalities start appearing only in childhood. In other patients, the diagnosis is based on family history. Still other patients might present with osteomyelitis or fractures. We are presenting here an unusual case of osteopetrosis which was referred to us for the evaluation of anaemia.

Photos: Retinal implants
Summary: People who've lost their vision to retinal disease may soon benefit from research into ways to stimulate optic nerves.
2 of 4Image
Boston Retinal Implant Project
One of a number of efforts to restore vision lost to retinal disease, the Boston Retinal Implant Project is working on a wireless prosthesis that minimizes eye intrusion. Only a tiny plate of electrodes is implanted, communicating through radio waves with a larger chip attached to the outside of the eye. This chip gets image data and power from a coil on a pair of glasses.
Doheny Eye Institute
The retinal implant developed under the lead of Doheny Eye Institute demands extensive surgery. The complicated insertion of several components takes six hours. So far, formerly blind people using the system have been able to detect simple shapes, objects and movements. Driving a car or reading a newspaper is still many years away.
Structure of the eye
In an eye suffering from age-related macular degeneration or retinitis pigmentosa, the photoreceptors of the retina die and eyesight is lost. A company called Optobionics is working on a chip that would be placed behind the retina, stimulating dying photoreceptors to continue translating light into neural signals.

Series 7 Airdate Update
Despite various sites claiming Series 7 has a "confirmed" 1st September airdate, Asylum of the Daleks is yet to officially appear on the BBC schedule.
With 25th August now ruled out, scheduling has today been released for the week containing Saturday 1st September and, once again, the show is nowhere to be seen.
As pointed out last week though, the show can still be added later.
The bottom line – we'll just have to keep waiting. But we're all use to that by now!

Our club is called "The Brews Brothers" (a combination of the Milwaukee Brewers and Blues Brothers). One of our stops along the way is the Pink Elephant in Deforest, WI, where we have a photo snapped of the gang. This year's photo includes our brand new CustomInk Brews Brothers shirts. They were a huge hit at Miller Park! We made the jumbotron and shared the spotlight on the big screen with Jake and Elwood Blues. Not to mention, posing for many photos with other Brewer fans who stopped us routinely when they saw our shirts and fedoras as we tailgated and strolled through the park.

Show synopsis Instructors who have used "Signs of Life in the USA "know that students love to talk and write about popular culture. They can attest that it teaches students to read and write "critically" about pop culture by providing them with a conceptual framework: semiotics, a field of study developed specifically for the interpretation of culture and its signs."Signs of Life" is written by a prominent semiotician and an experienced writing instructor, and it has been extensively updated to account for the rapid evolution of contemporary trends and student interests. It features insightful themes with provocative and current reading selections that ask students to think analytically about America's popular culture: How has niche advertising been used to develop a highly detailed profile of your consumer habits? Why are Americans so transfixed by "bad guys"? "Signs of Life "bridges the transition to college writing by providing students with academic language to talk about the significance of our shared cultural experiences. And now with the new edition, you can meet students where they are: online. Our newest set of online materials, LaunchPad Solo, provides all the key tools and course-specific content that you need to teach your class.
