Chevy Chase, MD--Today, The Endocrine Society released a new clinical practice guideline for the nutritional and endocrine management of adults after bariatric surgery, including those with diabetes mellitus. The guideline features a series of evidence-based clinical recommendations developed by an expert task force. The guideline is published in the November 2010 issue of the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism (JCEM), a publication of The Endocrine Society.
Between 1999 and 2004, obesity rates in the United States increased by 24 percent. Bariatric surgery has gained wide acceptance as a treatment for severe obesity, especially when complicated by type 2 diabetes. Common operations include laparoscopic banding procedures and gastric surgeries, which restrict the volume of food entering the stomach and intestines. Patients undergoing bariatric surgery may still experience weight regain and may also present with associated co-morbidities, including type 2 diabetes, polycystic ovarian disease, metabolic bone disease, fatty liver, hypertension and obstructive sleep apnea.
"Bariatric surgery is not a guarantee of success, and patients require postoperative care," said David Heber, MD, PhD, of the University of California, and chair of the task force that developed the guideline. "To help prevent weight regain, ensure that co-morbid conditions are adequately managed and ease the transition to life after bariatric surgery, the guideline recommends that patients receive the support of a multidisciplinary team that includes an experienced primary care physician, endocrinologist or gastroenterologist."
Other recommendations from the guideline include:
The Hormone Foundation, the patient education affiliate of The Endocrine Society, has published a companion patient guide. It outlines steps patients and their health care team should take to avoid nutritional deficiencies and resulting complications, such as protein malnutrition or bone loss, particularly after malabsorptive operations. The guide explains that, in most patients, obesity-related health problems disappear or greatly improve after surgery. It also encourages patients to have realistic expectations about what the surgery can do for them and the lifestyle changes they must make to lose weight and keep it off. The patient guide can be found online at: www.hormone.org/bariatric-patient-guide.
Other members of the task force that developed this guideline include: Frank Greenway of the Louisiana State University System in Baton Rouge; Lee Kaplan of Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston; Edward Livingston the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas; Javier Salvador of the University Clinic of Navarra in Pamplona, Spain; and Christopher Still of the Geisinger Medical Center in Danville, Penn.
Founded in 1916, The Endocrine Society is the world's oldest, largest and most active organization devoted to research on hormones and the clinical practice of endocrinology. Today, The Endocrine Society's membership consists of over 14,000 scientists, physicians, educators, nurses and students in more than 100 countries. Society members represent all basic, applied and clinical interests in endocrinology. The Endocrine Society is based in Chevy Chase, Maryland.

Nokia RM-877 visits FCC wearing AT&T banding, could be the Nokia EOS
While the first thought that comes to mind is that this is the Nokia EOS, which is expected to be unwrapped July 11th during an event in New York, the second thought that comes to mind is also the EOS. That is because the documents mention the testing of the device with a camera grip, model PD-95G. Also tested was an optional wireless charging cover as well.
Did the Nokia EOS just make it through the FCC?

I agree this would be my next phone, when its out, the 925 has an amazing camera, cant imagine this one, maybe Pureview Version 3 and maybe 7 lenses?
17. haseebzahid (Posts: 1836; Member since: 22 Feb 2012)
next RnD in pipeline was 16 lens array and adjustable aperture
4. PermanentHiatus (Posts: 267; Member since: 22 Jun 2012)
With all the hype the EOS camera is getting, the sensor size must be at least 1/1.7" or it will be a major disappointment.
5. Paradox (Posts: 123; Member since: 08 Aug 2012)
The 808 is 1/1.2" so I imagine that this will be the same. I don't actually know what that sensor size means because for some reason lower numbers are bigger, so perhaps you'll be kind enough to explain it to me:)
6. PermanentHiatus (Posts: 267; Member since: 22 Jun 2012)
Why sensor size matters:

10. user996 (Posts: 193; Member since: 25 Feb 2013)
those are fractions.
7. akki20892 (Posts: 3652; Member since: 04 Feb 2013)
common stuff dude, nokia n8 have 1/1.83 which is really old phone 2010. and Nokia 808 have really huge sensor 1/1.2, then why u saying the sensor size must be at least 1/1.7. EOS will have huge sensor like 808 or maybe even huge1/1.1 or 1/1.0 who know.
8. PermanentHiatus (Posts: 267; Member since: 22 Jun 2012)
I said 1/1.7" to match the current high end Canon point-and-shoots like S110 and G15. The quality of Nokia EOS lens will also be a big factor.

How about S4 zoom?
12. Deaconclgi (Posts: 328; Member since: 03 Nov 2012)
The S4 Zoom has a small sensor: 1/2.33
13. feres13 (Posts: 306; Member since: 23 Dec 2011)
71.4mm wide? The S4 has a 5" display and is 69mm wide. Too much bezel for a 4.5" device
18. tashreef (Posts: 476; Member since: 24 Nov 2012)
how about a "DROP-Test" ?
20. EXkurogane (Posts: 863; Member since: 07 Mar 2013)
And that's why Nokia phones are tough. I dont hate bezels.
22. CyberAngel (Posts: 47; Member since: 31 Jul 2012)
How about handling, too?
You don't accidentally touch the screen when you grip your phonecam for a nice steady photo...

15. PhoneArenaUser (Posts: 5497; Member since: 05 Aug 2011)
I care.
16. akki20892 (Posts: 3652; Member since: 04 Feb 2013)

24-bit/96kHz 16-Channel Digital Mixer
The M-16DX handles its 16 channel inputs with the luxury of full digital effects and scene memories. This innovative mixing style is made possible by EDIROL's proprietary separate-module concept. In addition to its USB 2.0 audio interface for computer recording, the M-16DX also offers DAW control-surface functionality, which enhances workflow for mixing, recording, editing, and mastering. It's another EDIROL advantage for computer-based music production.
The M-16DX provides 16 channel inputs of up to 24-bit/96kHz full digital processing. You can recall a scene memory of up to 16 selections instantly, and perform serious mixing with individual 3-band sweepable EQs.
*Shown with DXC-7 optional (7m/26ft) long cable
The M-16DX provides 18-channel (16 inputs and 2 main stereo mix) multi-track audio transfer for computer recording. After recording the band, you can add additional tracks by connecting condenser microphones, guitars, vocal mics, and so on directly to the M-16DX I/O module.
You can control your DAW applications such as Cakewalk SONAR or Apple Logic Pro comfortably by using physical controllers such as knobs and switches on the M-16DX Mix Controller. These direct controls are motion sensitive without requiring a mouse and ASCII keyboard, resulting in a smooth and productive workflow similar to professional fader automation.
Ready to upgrade the quality of your mixes? The M-16DX contains a powerful 24-bit/96kHz digital processing engine that provides a transparent mixing foundation. Experience the power of accurate, detailed digital mixing, and at a price you can afford.
Each channel strip is equipped with Low-Cut Filter, 3-Band EQ, Pan, Aux, Select, Solo/Mute, and Level controls. The Midrange EQ has Q & frequency controls for precise tone shaping on each channel. With 24-bit/96kHz internal digital processing, the original audio source can be shaped using the onboard EQ and effects with no absolutely loss in audio quality.
Don't let its small footprint deceive you — the M-16DX is a new-generation mixer comprising two modules: the Mix Controller for your desktop, and the I/O Module, which can be mounted in a rack. Together, these two components provide a wide assortment of connection and processing features.
In a portable mixing first, the M-16DX features a high-contrast, backlit LCD that lets you to see the effects in operation. Also onboard is the intelligent Room Acoustic Control function, which automatically analyzes and compensates for the frequency response of your studio. It's fast, easy, and effective.
A full-featured DSP effects processor is built into the M-16DX, with COSM Insert Effects, Reverb/Echo Effects, and Finalize Effects.
Digital and analog connectivity — it s all here, and more. Channels 1 - 4 contain quality mic preamps with phantom power; channels 1 and 2 also offer Hi-Z switches for directly connecting guitar and bass. Channels 11 and 12 provide direct digital input via S/PDIF coaxial & optical. A USB 2.0 port allows the mixer to work as a multitrack audio interface.
* When using the mixer as a USB audio interface, the Finalize Effects are not available in 96kHz mode.
* A system update to 2.0 or later may be required even if you purchase the M-16DX after November 2007. It's also possible that the package may not contain template sheets. If so, the update program and template-sheet PDFs can be downloaded via the web.
* Please remember that multitrack recording at higher bit rate and sampling frequencies may require large amounts of free disk space and fast hard drives.
* This product has been tested on representative computers that meet the system requirements, but we cannot guarantee that it will operate on every computer that meets these requirements. Please be aware that even under the same conditions, differences in the operating environment may produce differences in processing capability.

I hope you can understand. Things are looking up. ~SAM~

Avid reader. Baker. Musician. Did I say avid reader?
"Not his best, and NOT a great reader!"
I really enjoyed the Prism series, can't wait for the next book ... but I read them myself and didn't listen to them. I'm finding the Night Angel books to be confusing and not terribly well written. Although, the reader is abysmal - reading in an over-dramatic style that is annoying and doesn't help to clarify anything. He's tolerable once you get used to it, but it is a constant effort to ignore how annoying I find his reading style.
Though his voice is clear and he enunciates well, his style is very overblown - reading even the most simple passages with huge portent. Annoying.
I'm a web developer based out of Sacramento, I listen to books while I work, and love audible.
"Wow is Weeks 12 years old?"
I found this series to have the kind of "well written" and "witty" dialogue that every 12 year old pervert will love, due to it's "well" thought out and "intellectual" nature. However I beseech one to read that series as one will not be surprised in the least by the plot twists, in fact from page 1, a discernible reader will know the basic ending of the story, and thus can praise it for being a well written work of fantasy. The author's characterization of women as being either virgins or whores will astound even the most ignoble character. And one can only marvel at the rate which the lesser characters die off, while the major ones do not. Seriously though, all I can say is WOW!This was the MOST overhyped book I have ever read. So many people recommended it to me I expected something really good. What I got was a book that felt like a young adult book that was trying to be adult by swearing and talking about sex, just like a 12 year old boy would do.While the book was entertaining and had some good concepts, it was deeply flawed in many ways, and really felt like it was targeted to 12-20 year old crowd, or should have been a CW network TV show. It was full of overused tropes and the way side characters all died off was like watching horror movie where everyone gets killed really easily while the hero can miraculously survive. And lastly there where many similarities in this book to the first book of the Mistborn Series, only the Mistborn book was, way, way better. Now given that this was the authors first book I will give him some slack and say that the battle scenes where well done and the way magic was used was cool, if not fully explained with rules applied to it. I will check out the next book to see if the writing improves (which I heard it does, but from what I heard this was one of the best books ever written too, so what I heard my also be false) and the overall plot does get your interest, the machinations of foreign powers taking over. For people who have not read The Broken Sword by Paul Anderson, The Black Company, Fritz Leiber, The Chronicles of Amber or the Deed of Paksenarrion by Elizabeth Moon, I recommend all those over this. And if you want a long read, then Game of Thrones and Wheels of Time are both better as well. Unless you are in your late teens or early 20's, then you will probably love this story.
" I have my mind... & a mind needs books as a sword needs a whetstone, if it is to keep its edge." -T.L.
"Not Finishing the Series"
I read the 1st book & it was alright, worth the listen through but I did not like this book even though I'm not finished with it. I mean a killer that can go invisible? cool for the killer but takes some of the skill out of it & how much can the reader really enjoy when he does that? Being elusive & disappearing is great, but invisibility? It reminds me of that Bond movie where he has a friggin invisible Aston... I mean really? The book has its strengths & I might give it a try again in the future but I put it down
No real character development, except for the 1st book & that dude died... lol.., I'm not a huge Weeks fan, I know he's written some decent books so I won't completely write him off but the narrator was bad & not a fan of how the book the more hours I put into it
"more great action"
If you liked the first book, as I did, you'll enjoy this one more.
I do have to agree with a reviewer of the first book who likened the story to that of a comic book. Toward the end of the book the characters took on the persona of super heroes able to leap tall buildings. I my mind's eye I could see the comic book 'smash' and 'crack!' verbiage hovering over fantastically drawn characters. Both the protagonists and antagonists say things to each other that could only be taken seriously in a high action book like this one.
NONETHELESS, I loved this book and cannot wait for the 3rd! I like the main character immensely and am eager to see how he handles his next adventure.
I like Jack Reacher style characters regardless of setting. Put them in outer space, in modern America, in a military setting, on an alien planet... no worries. Book has non moralistic vigilante-justice? Sign me up! (oh, I read urban fantasy, soft and hard sci-fi, trashy vampire and zombie novels too)
"A satisfying story..."
I really like the story, and the suspense, and most of the characters and their relationships... that being said... Eline bugged me with her holier-than-thou attitude and her "love" that was contingent on Kylar changing his behavior to match what she thought he should be.
There were a lot more "character development" scenes in this book than in the first - i.e there were chapters dedicated to Eline's moralizing, Vi's life, and Dorion's insanity. Oh, and Kylar's moping about how he has to choose between "love" and everything else he knows and wants.
Once I skimmed through these long passages at the start of the book, however, the story kept me reading. So many things that I wanted resolved: the GodKing, the Night Angel, the witches, Vi, Logan... actually, I liked every plot thread except the very long segment where Kylar passed time trying to be a house-husband. Once this section ended, however, the story carried on without further delays and ended up being very suspenseful.
Overall, it's a satisfying story - full of angst, judgement, retribution and justice... the narration is very good and the story doesn't leave you hanging at the end, even though there's another book in the trilogy.
"excellent story"
My 18 yr old son got the entire trilogy at the local bookstore and offered it to me to read first. I read the first book and was immediately hooked! I ended up giving him back the books when I discovered them here. Being a truckdriver, it was more convenient for me to listen to them rather than reading the books. I highly recommend this trilogy. It is a wonderful example of how an author can flesh out his characters and put them in situations where they must decide between doing what it is right and doing what they think is right. I loved this trilogy to the very last word.
"Good, but"
Not quite as good as the first. Also, unfortunately, there are now some strong Robert Jordan themes appearing in the story. I'm hoping it doesn't continue to develop into a poor Jordan copy.
"Really surprised"
I thought it would be a lot better I will be honest I did nit give it a chance past half way but the love crap between him and Eileen was way way to much, didn't care about jarl, just was really lame honestly and I had high hopes from the first. It got cheesier like when he saves the girl from the three thugs by just making parts of himself appear- that was so dumb. And then how he says it's going to draw attention from all over the world it just feels like the rumors from that would not at all do that, like just forced. I don't know I just really couldn't like this one no matter how much I tried.
"Adult Fantasy"
Yes, I would definitely recommend to adults. A lot of the material is just too intense and too dark for younger audiences. However, the story and characters are really interesting. There is a juxtaposition between the sexual naivety of the main two male characters and the hard edges of most everyone else
Kylar and Logan - for different reasons. There possibly could have been a bit character development, but I am looking forward to Book 3. As for the characters, they are both coming of age. It is fascinating to watch these men come of age in such a rotten set of conditions.
Yes. I thought Boehmer's performance was terrific. Full marks.
I was surprised by some touching moments late in the book - did not expect that emotional reaction. Some funny moments, but not meant to be an overly humerous book.
I definitely recommend this book for fans of sword and sorcery. This is one of the better series, on rough par with Joe Abercrombie or Patrick Rothfuss.
"Keeps getting better"
I have stepped away from printed versions of a book. The reason is that I enjoy the narrators that much. The performance and story mix to give me my entertainment.
I have cut the cable cord and now find my entertainment in audio books. That is why when you read my reviews I can be very hard on a narrator. My expectations are high and I will abandon a book if the narration irritates me.
As to this book, Paul Boehmer is one of my favorite narrators. The sound quality is great, unlike some earlier recordings from Audible's early days.
Since I bought all three books I remember them as the whole story. There were few if any lulls in the action. I thought there was a great blend between the romantic drives in the story and the action of battle.
The author did a great job in showing the consequences of decisions and that not every action is right or wrong, but can create a different outcome.
The second book is a great continuation and made me want to get the third book as soon as possible.

MTSU Student Killed in Crash on Icy Road in West Tennessee

MTSU said Stahlman was a mass communications major at the school, according to The Tennessean.
No other vehicles were involved in the crash.

text: In a game characterized by its 12 ties, the last coming with three minutes to play, the championship contest of the Jim Beaudry Classic hosted by the U. of New England Sat., Jan 5 went Wesleyan's way, 69-61, as tournament MVP Nick Pelletier '08 (#11, main photo courtesy of SteveMcLaughlinPhotography.com) posted his second double-double of the Classic. Pelletier, who was named NESCAC Player of the Week, had 17 points and 10 rebounds in the title game and finished the Classic with 32 points and 24 boards. He put home two buckets in the paint, both off assists by Eric Winters '08, to spot Wesleyan a 63-58 lead with 1:02 remaining. A minute earlier, a layup by Stan Grayson '09 (20 points) gave Wesleyan a 59-57 lead with 2:24 left. That basket triggered a 12-4 Wesleyan run to the final buzzer. Mike Raymond '08 (#5, photo insert lower right by SteveMcLaughlinPhotography.com) went 4-for-4 at the line in the final :30 while Winters also added two FTs. Raymond, who gave 62 minutes off the bench during the tournament at guard and was 8-for-8 at the line, was an all-tournament selection. The Cardinals had their four-game win streak snapped by Amherst Tues., Jan. 8, as the defending national champions, currently ranked fifth in Division III, picked up an 85-63 victory at home. Pelletier had another strong game with team-high figures of 16 points and eight rebounds. The Cardinals cut a 13-point deficit to six (40-34) at halftime, but a 17-4 spurt by the Lord Jeffs to open the second half put the game away. After a weekend off, the squad headed to the Merchant Marine Academy Tues., Jan. 15, and dropped a tough 66-57 decision. The game was nip-and-tuck through 30 minutes of play but a 10-0 run by the host gave USMMA a 47-38 lead with 8:50 to go and Wesleyan got no closer than eight down the stretch. It was the first meeting between the team in 20 years. Jeremy Kaminer '10 led the team with 14 points. NESCAC play starts on Sat., Jan. 19 when the Cardinals visit the Camel of Conn. College.

NYPD Cop Stole Guns From His Fellow Officers To Pay For Drugs
An NYPD patrol officer admitted he stole 9mm guns from the lockers of fellow cops in Manhattan's 9th Precinct, because he was addicted to painkillers--and had to pay off his drug dealer.
31 year old Police Officer, Nicholas Mina, was arraigned in Manhattan Supreme Court on Friday on multiple charges, including conspiracy and criminal sale of a firearm. Prosecutors told the judge Mina sold four, stolen 9mm police guns to drug dealer, Ivan Chavez, with "standard issue NYPD ammunition" still in them, and even sold one of his personal firearms, a Glock.
According to prosecutors, "Mr. Mina confessed….blaming it on his drug use and his debt to his drug dealer, Ivan Chavez." Investigators say they have hours of wiretapped phone conversations between Officer Mina and the drug dealer, talking about gun sales and drugs.
Prosecutors said in open court that Officer Mina was a regular customer, on a daily basis, of the Queens drug dealer—buying Oxycodone pills. The pain killers have become a scourge across New York—and the United States—so addictive that they prompted a U.S. Army veteran to kill four people during a pharmacy robbery in Medford, Long Island last year. This past January, an off-duty ATF agent was killed in Seaford, Long Island—trying to stop a painkiller robbery in another pharmacy.
In one, ironic twist in the case, the NYPD had posted 24-hour security in the locker room of the 9th Precinct back in February, after guns were being stolen from police lockers. At one point, Officer Mina was actually assigned to the security detail. He allegedly stole one of the guns in April. The police department also used surveillance cameras in its efforts to find the thief, always suspecting it was an inside job. Prosecutors told the judge, "Work records placed him in the locker room when the guns were taken."
The Internal Affairs Division was tipped off about Mina at one point and used undercover cops to make gun buys.
Prosecutors said, "Over the last, three months, that network was responsible for trafficking at least ten firearms."
Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly and Mayor Michael Bloomberg were bound to be upset that a New York City cop was accused in a gun case, since they've campaigned tirelessly to get illegal weapons off the streets, also calling for stricter gun laws in states where they're easily purchased. The city saw a spike in deadly gun violence during the recent week of the July 4th holiday.
Four civilians were also charged in the case today. Along with the accused drug dealer, Ivan Chavez, 64 year old Meryl Lebowitz was charged with gun running. Prosecutors said she picked up two guns sold by the police officer. Her defense attorney entered a "not guilty" plea for Lebowitz, who lives in the same home as Chavez on 106th Street in Queens.
Prosecutors said Officer Mina also stole a bullet-proof vest from a precinct locker. He apparently bought his drugs from Chavez in Queens, where he sometimes stayed with a girlfriend.
His parents live in West Babylon, Long Island.
Investigators said when they raided the drug dealer's home, they also found a sawed –off shotgun and a Tec-9, along with blank "prescription pads".
The judge refused to set bail for Officer Mina, so he was remanded to jail, along with the accused drug dealer and two female defendants, until their next hearing in August.Copyright © 2014, Hartford Courant

Embracing a contemporary approach, this half-domed chandelier is stunning.
A domed silhouette has a graceful frame and a fusion of geometric shapes and details. The sculptural design will enhance all decor styles. From Hinkley Lighting.
Customers most agreed on the following attributes:
Illuminates my living room/dining room beautifully, soft, diffuse light that fills the room. No bright spots that annoy the eye. I removed the filter screen that goes over the bulbs, so light reflects off ceiling more. I looked at hundreds of lights before finding one I like as I do this one. It is larger than I was expecting, but I love it.

Sir David King to Deliver Keynote at ICSE
LOS ALAMITOS, Calif., 23 March, 2010 – Professor Sir David King, director of the Smith School of Enterprise and Environment at the University of Oxford, will be among the list of luminaries scheduled to deliver keynote speeches at ICSE: The International Conference on Software Engineering, set for 2-8 May, 2010, in Cape Town, South Africa.

Tutu, Archbishop Emeritus of Cape Town, is one of South Africa's most famous sons. The recipient of the 1984 Nobel Peace Prize, and author of the book "Reconciliation: the Ubuntu Theology," the South African cleric and activist rose to worldwide fame during the 1980s as an opponent of apartheid. In 1984, Tutu became the second South African to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
Schneider will keynote on "Beyond Hacking: An SOS!" Schneider also serves as chief scientist for the NSF "TRUST" Science and Technology Center, and has been professor-at-large at the University of Tromso (Norway) since 1996. He is a member of the Computing Research Association board and the council of the Computing Community Consortium. He serves on the US congressionally mandated Information Security and Privacy Advisory Board, as well as several other federal advisory boards, and he also co-chairs Microsoft's TCAAB advisory board on trustworthy computing.
Sunter was recently awarded an honorary doctorate by the University of Cape Town for his work in the field of scenario planning. He was also voted by leading South African CEOs as a speaker who has made the most significant contribution to, and impact on, best practice and business in South Africa. Sunter is former chairman and CEO of Anglo American Corp., once the world's largest gold producer, and the author of 14 books.

What a great episode! They really messed with us on the editing, didn't they? I thought for sure J&J were going home. I knew they were way behind but didn't realize just how far until they started out when it seemed like everyone else was pretty much done.
The detectives are really kicking buns, I never saw that coming. Although Louie is really struggling physically. He didn't seem, or they didn't show, to have a problem on the bike. I thought they'd U-Turn Steve and Allie as they are a much bigger physical threat but Joe must have been on their last nerve, and more than the one time they showed on the bus. I felt bad for Joe and Heidi. I can't imagine anyone getting that sentence. Three words would have been hard enough.
It totally cracked me up with the producers put the ????? subtitles under Caite's face when she was talking with her mouth full!! ROFL! I'm still chuckling over that one! I am really liking Steve and Allie and it was great to see more of them now. Jeff was such a jerk to Jordan all day/night. She would barely uncross her arms at him, and that was with editing.
What did you think?
|Fri, 03-19-2010 - 8:33am
My gosh, six hours is just crazy! So they can't take a penalty when it's the last challenge before the check in?
I wish they would put a clock down in the corner of the screen when it's that long at a challenge, to give us some idea of how hard the teams are working at something.
When the crawl or code challenge came up, my husband said he'd have done the code, because he learned it as a scout and used it in the army. We didn't think they'd been working at it so long, but sheesh, so long, so hard and they didn't fall apart? I admire that!

I agree it was a good show last night!
Im sorry to see Joe and Heidi go but was happy for J&J!
I thought for sure someone would've u-turned the gay girls! as the previews from last week showed they getting mad! oh well...but wasn't she a B big time! I didnt sign up for this kind of stuff! LOL! its called a RACE, so get over it!
I also loved some of the ziggers last night! can't remember them right now! But there were a few good ones!
I don't get why "J&H" gave up, they should've just kept tring to figure it out! maybe take a 5 min break then go back in there! It seems when they "Know" they are last they give up.
I was happy the cowboys pulled back to the top 3!
I hate to tell Phil but when he says to them "your the team to beat" something happens to drop them out of the top 3! LOL!

I found a new 2012 Trail SL 29er 5 for $550 at a lbs. I am thinking this would be a good first MTB but I don't know alot about Cannondale. I thought I had decided on the Trek Marlin but I got distracted. Any issues that I should know? I will mainly be doing light trails and some asphalt with friends. I have heard good things about the Cannondale frames and would over time upgrade the components.

Ed's Shed: How to Adjust Your Guitar's Truss Rod
October 10, 2012 at 10:21am
Hey Ed, quick question for you. I've got a 7 string guitar and it's a wonderful piece of guitar craftsmenship save for one issue that has been plaguing it.
Strings 2 thru 7 are fine and play great as is, but the first string (high e) has been experiencing issues. Mild amounts of fret buzz on frets 1 thru 14, and then anything past the 15th fret sounds a half step higher than concert pitch (ie - 24th fret sounds like an F rather than an E).
Any ideas as to what the problem could be? Please contact me at your earliest convenience!
January 20, 2012 at 6:57am

Good write up. Here are a couple more truss rod adjusting tips:
1) When adjusting the rod on an older guitar always loosen the nut first (even if you ultimately want to tighten the rod). The rod could be maxed or it could just need wake up (if it hasn't been touched for years). Either way you're better off.
2) Even if the action/relief stays perfect on your guitar you should adjust the nut a little (back and forth) every year or two so that the nut maintains good glide on the rod. Sticky truss nuts are a drag.

December 7, 2004
Executive Director, Dry Creek Arts Fellowship, 928/774-8861
www.drycreekarts.com, firstname.lastname@example.com
(FLAGSTAFF, ARIZONA) The shared heritage of the Western American, Hawaiian and Mexican cowboy is at the heart of a unique cultural and artistic exchange at the 16th Annual Trappings of the American West Exhibition & Festival, May 27th - June 19th, 2005, in Flagstaff, Arizona. The Paniolo (Hawaiian cowboy) learned to ride horses and work cattle from Spanish American vaqueros fifty years before these same skills were passed on to cowboys working the great Texas cattle drives. Today, these traditions thrive and shed light on a significant, yet little known aspect of American heritage.
The artistic exchange includes two collaborative projects. California saddle maker, Alec Franco and 5th generation Paniolo saddle maker, Alvin Kawamoto will build a saddle that incorporates distinct regional influences with functional and decorative elements. Master woodworker, Bill Burke and renowned Hawaiian luthier, David Gomes will build a Single 0 Guitar. Engraver, Peter Kretzmann will add engraved silver and inlaid abalone embellishments to the instrument. Artists will attend the Opening Reception Friday, May 27th, at 6:00 pm. These one-of-a-kind pieces will be on display and available for sale throughout the Trappings Exhibition.
As part of the Trappings festival, The Great American Cowboy Forum and Gallery Tour on Saturday, May 28th, 1:00pm - 4:00pm, brings together Kawamoto and Franco with DCAF photographer, Heather Hafleigh, who has been documenting the charreria (Mexican rodeo), to compare artistic and cultural traditions. A gallery tour will follow to identify the multi-cultural elements found in the artwork of Trappings. On Saturday and Sunday, June 11 & 12, during the 4th Annual Flagstaff Folk Music Festival, Bill Burke and David Gomes will perform and present a guitar/ukulele workshop.
Trappings of the American West is the only exhibition in the United States that combines fine and functional art of the cowboy culture. Sponsored in part by The National Endowment for the Arts, Arizona Commission on the Arts and Flagstaff Cultural Partners, Trappings is recognized by the National Office of Tourism as one of the top 100 cultural events in the United States.
As a juried and invitational exhibition, the 90 artists of Trappings come from 14 Western states, Canada and Hawaii. There will be approximately 350 pieces of artwork available for sale.
# # #
A one-time admission fee to the Trappings Exhibition is $3 for adults, $2 for students & seniors, $1 for children. Most events are free with admission; some are nominally priced. A full media kit and schedule of festival events is available online at www.drycreekarts.com.
Unless noted (*) most events take place at the Coconino Center for the Arts, two miles north of historic downtown Flagstaff on Hwy. 180; 70 miles south of Grand Canyon National Park.
The Coconino Center for the Arts is handicap-accessible. Parking for cars and buses is free. For more information on the Trappings Exhibition & Festival, please call the Dry Creek Arts Fellowship at (928) 774-8861. For accommodations in Flagstaff, please call the Flagstaff Convention & Visitors Bureau at (800) 217-7293. The Dry Creek Arts Fellowship is an educational and charitable non-profit organization that provides a base of support for the preservation and future development of Western American Art.

Donna Christensen on Drugs
Delegate to US House (VI-AL)
A bill to target cocaine kingpins and address sentencing disparity between crack and powder cocaine.
Sponsor's introductory remarks: Sen. Biden: My bill will eliminate the current 100-to-1 disparity [between sentencing for crack vs. powder cocaine] by increasing the 5-year mandatory minimum threshold quantity for crack cocaine to 500 grams, from 5 grams, and the 10-year threshold quantity to 5,000 grams, from 50 grams, while maintaining the current statutory mandatory minimum threshold quantities for powder cocaine. It will also eliminate the current 5-year mandatory minimum penalty for simple possession of crack cocaine, the only mandatory minimum sentence for simple possession of a drug by a first time offender.
Drug use is a serious problem, and I have long supported strong antidrug legislation. But in addition to being tough, our drug laws should be rational and fair. My bill achieves the right balance. We have talked about the need to address this cocaine sentencing disparity for long enough. It is time to act.
Congressional Summary:
This bill amends the Higher Education Act of 1965 to repeal the provisions prohibiting persons convicted of drug offenses from receiving student financial assistance.
To permit the use of Federal funds for syringe exchange programs for purposes of reducing the transmission of bloodborne pathogens, including HIV and viral hepatitis.

Six months can be a long time in the world of home cinema ? not least when the industry is having one of its biggest shake-ups in a long while due to the advent of high-def Blu-ray content. A whole host of new HD audio codecs have given amplifier manufacturers plenty to think about, and caught this particular Onkyo on the hop.
When we first reviewed this budget model back in August 2008, the lack of onboard HD audio decoding was merely a shame rather than a real problem. But now, with the competition doing it all for just £50 more, it starts to look a little long in the tooth. Still, we didn't award this amplifier five stars for nothing...
You can still count on Onkyo's bombproof build quality, though the design isn't particularly awe-inspiring – but hey, it is a multichannel amp. The curvaceous, glossy remote does add a bit more flair.
You'll find three HDMI inputs and one output on the rear of the unit, which are capable of passing through 1080p HD video content for 3-to-1 video switching, plus multichannel audio inputs so you can send decoded HD audio via analogue PCM. There?s no video upscaling, however.
Still packs a meaty punchWatching the Blu-ray disc of the brilliant Wall-E, this Onkyo delivers a typically muscular presentation. It's still capable of producing decent detail and subtlety as required for the first half hour of the film, but it's undoubtedly happier when belting out the action with power and punch.
More after the break
A better sense of scale and more thrilling dynamics can be had elsewhere, but we're far from disappointed for £250. We switch to something a little more musical with the BD of Mamma Mia! and while it's unlikely that we'll be blown away by a multichannel amp's performance with two-channel music at this price point, this Onkyo makes a decent stab at the essentials.
Basslines sound flabby and can lack definition, but the TX-SR506 holds its own in every other area.
When we last looked at this amp, we said: "The [lack of] all-out power and... lack of HD audio support, might threaten Onkyo's dominance." Well, for this machine that moment has come to pass.
It remains a good option if you're on a budget or don't require onboard HD audio decoding, but better features and noticeably improved sonic performance can now be yours for little more.

The tuition for the Youth in Custody Certificate Program is $2,500 per person. Tuition does not include travel, hotel, or incidental expenses, which are the responsibility of the participant.
Tuition subsidies are available for participants with demonstrated financial need. To apply for a subsidy, please submit the Statement of Financial Need (see below) with your application to the program and indicate the amount of aid you are requesting.
As many agencies and organizations are facing budget restraints, we strongly urge participants to seek other forms of financial assistance. For example, local, state and regional level foundations are often supportive of this type of training activity and may be able to provide grants to cover the portion of the tuition for which the participant is responsible, as well as travel costs.
For education professionals, staff development activities are an allowable expense of Title I dollars, including Title I, Part D funds. CJJR has reviewed Title I, Part D and it is our belief that the certificate program qualifies as an eligible program since it addresses the staff development needs of educators and coordinators in leadership roles working with neglected, delinquent or at risk programs. Therefore, CJJR urges education professionals to contact their Neglected and Delinquent State Coordinators or Title I Directors to request approval for the use of Title I funds to support their participation in this program.
Title IV-E of the Child Abuse and Prevention Treatment Act may also support this type of training activity for eligible candidates, as will funds available to states and localities through the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act. Again, applicants are encouraged to seek this type of support through their state's administering agency.
The full tuition balance must be paid in full prior to the start of program. Applicants accepted for participation will receive additional information regarding how to make payment.

At 7 weeks...first week in daycare! Thanks for that
I have a Nosefrieda Snotsucker (best thing after the R'n'P) and hosed her nose with Baby Saline to loosen the mucus and suck it out so she could get a good stretch of sleep in - the Nosefrieda actually does what it advertises as opposed to other devices I wasted money on. This is my second kid- but I just recently learned that babies apparently aren't capable of breathing through their month until they are about 3 mths old...poor things! Hope you LO gets better quick!

O Green Machine
Gene Macha Sod Farm
Copyright © Advanced AquaTronics International Corp. 2008
When Gene Macha installed his new $250,000 irrigation unit in his 75 acre sod farm last spring, his first concern was paying off the equipment. With industry standards for the first sod cuttings between
15 months
, Macha would have to wait over a year to see revenue. He purchased and installed an AquaTron system and planted the treated plot in May. Macha is already scheduling his first cutting for March,
a savings of up to 6 months!
Two small side plots were planted in early and late April, and not treated with the AquaTron. Then, treated plots were planted up to 5 weeks later.
The AquaTron treated plots caught up and surpassed
the earlier plantings.
AquaTron treated soil, "stayed fluffier and was able to absorb water better than the untreated," Macha observes. "With the treated grass, the runners started taking off and growing faster, and responded to the fertilizer faster than the untreated."
"I had a lot of money tied up in this irrigation system. What I liked about AquaTron was that I could harvest the turf sooner, and pay off my equipment quicker," Macha says.
Houston Texas
"Minute Made Park", home of the Astros received AquaTron treated sod provided by Turfgrass America.
The AquaTron has also been installed on the stadium irrigation system.

Finnegan's NAS scoring system
- 0Feb 23, '12 by jp2012gradHello! I'm in my last semester of nursing school, currently precepting in the NICU. I'm interested in learning more about the NASS; however, I cannot find any evidenced-based research to support that this scoring system is superior to other scoring systems like the Lipsitz, for example. I know that Finnegan's is the most widely used scoring system, but again, why? Thank you in advance for any insight you may have.
