Analgesics for Osteoarthritis—An Update
Knowledge Gaps and Future Research Needs (1 of 3)
Nearly all of the clinical trials reviewed in this report were "efficacy" trials conducted in ideal settings and selected populations. "Pragmatic" trials that allow flexible dosing or medication switches and other clinical trials of effectiveness would be very valuable for learning the outcomes of different analgesic interventions in real-world settings.
The CV risks and GI benefits associated with different COX-2 selective NSAIDs may differ. Large, long-term trials with active and placebo-controlled arms would be needed to assess the safety and benefits of any new COX-2 selective analgesic.
Keywords: knowledge gaps | future research | CV risks | GI benefits | COX-2 selective NSAIDs

I just learned to retract my shoulder blades during bench press. I was doing them "bodybuilder" style, and heard they were bad for my shoulders, etc. And of course, you need to keep your shoulder blades together during squats, or else the bar will just fall off.
So my question, do I need to pinch my scapulas together on deadlifts? It feels kinda awkward, so I'm not sure.
Thanks in advance.

Global Biotechnology Industry
The global biotechnology industry is forecast to exceed $320 billion by 2015, reports Global Industry Analysts. Market growth is fuelled by economic recovery, increased R&D funding, government initiatives and biotechnology used in agriculture and medical sciences. Developing nations, particularly China and India, are becoming major markets in the fields of agricultural and industrial biotechnology.
The economic crisis negatively impacted the biotechnology market, and brought about revenue declines in the US and the EU as a result of limited capital inflows and the delay or cancellation of projects. The market has entered a phase of recovery, with many large biotechnology outfits generating revenue thanks to new cost-savings and efficiency measures.
Industry funding is on the rise on the back of more favorable economic conditions, though this funding is concentrated in a small number of larger outfits. Smaller companies are still struggling to raise R&D funds. The situation is likely to improve as venture capitalists exercise greater caution in seeking more secure investment options.

Nov 4, 2013 2:55 PM by Associated Press
SAN DIEGO (AP) - It started with an invitation to the Broadway production of "The Lion King" in Tokyo for the Navy commander, his wife and their children.
In the end, the Malaysian defense contractor known in military circles as "Fat Leonard" would use prostitutes, plane tickets and other bribes to hook the U.S. Naval officer into a scheme that overbilled the Pentagon by millions, investigators say in court papers.
The accusations unfolding in a federal court case in San Diego signal serious national security breaches and corruption, setting off high-level meetings at the Pentagon with the threat that more people, including those of higher ranks, could be swept up as the investigation continues. A hearing Nov. 8 could set a trial date.
According to the court documents, Navy commander Michael Vannak Khem Misiewicz passed confidential information on ship routes to Leonard Francis' Singapore-based company, Glenn Defense Marine Asia Ltd., or GDMA.
Misiewicz and Francis moved Navy vessels like chess pieces, diverting aircraft carriers, destroyers and other ships to Asian ports with lax oversight where Francis could inflate costs, the criminal complaint alleges. The firm overcharged the Navy millions for fuel, food and other services it provided, and invented tariffs by using phony port authorities, prosecutors say.
"It's pretty big when you have one person who can dictate where ships are going to go and being influenced by a contractor," said retired Rear Adm. Terry McKnight, who has no direct knowledge of the investigation. "A lot of people are saying, 'How could this happen?'"
So far, authorities have arrested Misiewicz; Francis; the general manager of global government contracts for Francis' company, Alex Wisidagama; and a senior Navy investigator, John Beliveau II.
Beliveau is accused of keeping Francis abreast of the probe and advising him on how to respond in exchange for such things as luxury trips and prostitution services. All have pleaded not guilty. Defense attorneys declined to comment.
Senior Navy officials said they believe more people likely will be implicated in the scheme, but it's too early to tell how many or how high this will go in the naval ranks. Other unnamed Navy personnel are mentioned in court documents as getting gifts from Francis.
Francis is legendary in military circles in that part of the world, said McKnight, who does not know him personally. He is known for extravagance. His 70,000-square-foot bungalow in an upscale Singapore neighborhood has drawn spectators yearly since 2007 to its lavish, outdoor Christmas decorations, which The Straits Times described as rivaling the island city-state's main shopping street with replicas of snowmen, lighted towering trees, and Chinese and Japanese ornaments.
"He's a larger-than-life figure," McKnight said. "You talk to any captain on any ship that has sailed in the Pacific and they will know exactly who he is."
Navy spokesman Rear Adm. John Kirby said Navy Criminal Investigative Service agents initiated their probe in 2010. He declined to comment further, citing the ongoing investigation.
The same year, Misiewicz caught the world's attention when he made an emotional return as a U.S. Naval commander to his native Cambodia, where he had been rescued as a child from the violence of the Khmer Rouge and adopted by an American woman. His homecoming was widely covered by international media.
Meanwhile, Francis was recruiting him for his scheme, according to court documents.
Misiewicz's family went to a "Lion King production" in Tokyo with a company employee, and Misiewicz later was offered prostitution services, according to the criminal complaint. Within months, the Navy commander was providing Francis ship movement schedules for the USS George Washington Carrier Strike Group and other ships, the prosecution alleges.
Court documents say the manager wrote to Francis shortly afterward, saying: "We got him!! :)"
Misiewicz would refer to Francis as "Big Brother" or "Big Bro" in emails from a personal account, while Francis would call him "Little Brother" or "Little Bro," according to the complaint.
The company bilked the Navy out of $10 million in just one year in Thailand alone, U.S. Attorney Laura Duffy said.
In December 2011, the two exchanged emails about the schedule of the USS Blue Ridge, investigators say. According to court documents, Francis wrote Misiewicz: "Bro, Slide a Bali visit in after Jakarta, and Dili Timor after Bali."
The complaint alleges Misiewicz followed through on the demands: In October 2012, the USS George Washington was scheduled to visit Singapore and instead was redirected by the Navy to Port Klang, Malaysia, one of Francis' preferred ports where his company submitted fake contractor bids.
After Francis offered Misiewicz five tickets to a Lady Gaga concert in Thailand in 2012, Francis wrote: "Don't chicken out bro we need u with us on the front lines," according to court documents.
The federal government has suspended its contracts with Francis.
The defendants face up to five years in prison if convicted of conspiracy to commit bribery.

Tanzania is a very safe, secure and tourist friendly country. Tanzania has enjoyed a remarkable period of stability and growth since independence back in 1961 and is one of the safest countries in Africa.
Tanzania has more than 132 distinct tribes that have lived in harmony for centuries. Tanzania has a founding philosophy from its first President, Julius Nyerere (a man who Nelson Mandela called his mentor and inspiration), which emphasized tolerance and the idea of a nation coming before any sense of tribal loyalty. His belief that "we are Tanzanians first and foremost", helped to create and encourage a national character of tribal, racial and religious tolerance. Tanzanians are very proud that they have never had a civil war and as they watch what happens in neighboring countries (Rwanda, Burundi, Uganda and now Kenya), they are even more committed to the ideas of tolerance and peace. Nyerere insisted on a national language (Swahili) and insisted that the ruling power never show preference for their own tribal history. Power is shared most equitably in Tanzania and no one tribe is favored or has the majority of power.
There are currently no travel warnings issued on Tanzania by the U.S. State Department. Kenya currently has a travel warning issued and those travelers seeking to add a safari extension to Kenya are advised to read the warning at http://travel.state.gov/. Travel Warnings are issued when the State Department recommends that Americans avoid travel to a certain country.
Though the risk of crime is minimal in Tanzania, some common sense precautions are recommended:
- Leave your expensive jewelry and watches at home
- Keep all your valuables (passport, wallet, etc.) in a money belt that you can hide under your clothes
- Make copies of all documentation (passport, air itinerary, travelers checks etc.) and keep segregated from the originals
- Carry a few dollars for spending money in an accessible pocket rather than accessing your money belt when shopping
- The majority of the costs on safari are included in your package. See your inclusions and exclusions section
To be 100% safe, carry your wallet, money, traveler checks, etc. with you at all times. Do not leave these items in your room while out on game drives, eating at the lodge, etc.
Please be aware of your surroundings at all times. When on your safari, you will be in a new, unfamiliar and exciting place. You will likely be distracted, enthusiastic or tired enough to make mistakes and forget the little hazards around you. For example, watch your step when walking and avoid brushing up against thorny bushes and trees. Additionally, watch your fingers when the vehicle doors are being closed. Please be especially cautious when standing up game viewing in the open top vehicles. It is always dangerous to stand up in the vehicle while driving – please watch out for branches and other potential hazards. And don't assume any of the animals are tame.
Wild Animals
Please be aware that our safaris may take you into close contact with wild animals. Attacks by wild animals are rare, but no safari into the African wilderness can guarantee that this will not occur. Please note that many safari lodges and camps are not fenced and that wildlife does move freely in and around these areas. Always follow the safety instructions from the lodge or camp's staff with regards to moving to and from your tent and while on game activities throughout your safari.
Please be especially cautious and informed when staying at a private camp or the smaller tented lodges. Please make sure that if you have small children with you, to not let them out of your sight or wander alone. There will be a security briefing at most tented lodges upon arrival but do not hesitate to voice your concerns to the staff or your guide. Many of the smaller tented lodges will escort you to and from your tent for dinner. Under no circumstances should you move to and from your tent/room during the night without being escorted. When staying at a private camp, you must not wander out of the campsite and you must always be escorted to and from your tent.

Pro and Cons of Urban Goats
We post a lot about the benefits of backyard goats but any prospective goat tender should also be aware of the other side of the coin.
Goats are not dogs. They can be trained to some degree but at the end of the day, they are still goats and will behave as such. If you keep a goat in your backyard, it may destroy things. Things you'd rather keep intact. Like your siding. And your lower level windows. They will tap dance on your lawnmower and chew on the rubber tubing.
Just like puppy owners and new parents have to dog proof and child proof their homes, you will need to goat proof as much as possible. You'll miss something. It'll be a good learning experience. Put away anything you don't want trampled or chewed on. This includes flowers, flower pots, bags containing anything, boxes, plastic bins, bowls, lawn equipment, tools, string, wire, tie wraps, and anything remotely dangerous or interesting to a creature to whom you can't explain its use.
Goats poop. It's a fact. Poop smells and attracts flies. Also a fact. While goat manure isn't as strong as, say, cow manure, it's still poop. If you live in town and have to clean up goat poop, you will at some point have to find somewhere to dispose of it. If you have two goats, this is fairly easily accomplished. More than two and you have a herd. Poop production is exponential.
Goats make goat noises. If your neighbors don't want to hear how excited or lonely or bored your goats are, you will have a bit of conflict. Get quiet goats and find them something to do to entertain themselves besides banging their heads on the side of your house or jumping on your car.
Another fact: small goats do not make substantially less poop, less noise or less of a mess than bigger goats.
Don't assume you can tie your goats up like dogs. It's not a good idea. While many people tether goats without complication, it only takes one broken neck to prove why you should have a fenced enclosure instead. Your goat on a leash isn't thinking, "Gee, I only have 15 feet of rope and this is such a safe environment, I have nothing to concern myself with." It's thinking, "Oh my god! There's a really alarming noise somewhere over there and I'd better run away fast!" In addition, unless you use monster sized chain, whatever small chain or rope you use is going to get caught between the goat's toes and wrapped around its legs and it's going to be unhappy which will prompt more noise to entertain the neighbors who are probably already really tired of your goats.
I'm an advocate of backyard goats but just as I believe all dog people should be responsible, I also believe anyone who wants to keep a goat in town had better be even more diligent. Cities don't have to allow us to keep livestock in our yards. The only way we will continue to have that luxury is to be responsible in their care and respectful of the neighbors.

Metrics Show Arkansas' Slow, Fragile Economic Rebound
Posted 7/30/2012 12:00 am
Updated 2 years ago
A roundup of Arkansas economic indicators signals that the state generally is surpassing the U.S. rebound from the recession, but Arkansas' bounce-back is slow and fragile.
Michael Pakko, whose Arkansas Economist blog provided the charts accompanying this story, told Arkansas Business: "I've spent a lot of time as these things have developed trying to explain what was happening in late 2010 and particularly in early 2011 where both the U.S. and Arkansas economies were slowing down and Arkansas seemed to be slowing down more. But more recently I think that situation has reversed." Still, said Pakko, the state economic forecaster, it's "a painfully slow recovery."
Among the more accurate indicators, according to Pakko, is personal income. Personal incomes in the state edged up by 0.3 percent in first-quarter 2012 compared with fourth-quarter 2011, the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis reported. However, Pakko noted on his blog, that rate "was the slowest among all the positive growth rates in the nation ... ."
Year over year, Arkansas saw personal income rise by 2.4 percent. It's now about 6 percent higher "than the peak recorded at the beginning of the recession," wrote Pakko, who's with the Institute for Economic Advancement at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.
Housing sales also provide significant insight into the state's and the nation's economies. Arkansas home sales during second-quarter 2012 showed a decline compared with the first quarter, using seasonally adjusted quarterly data.
Pakko had forecast that homes sales would rise 7.5 percent this year compared with 2011. "If sales are to reach that total [25,000], we'll have to see some improvement in the second half of the year," he said.
The unemployment rate in Arkansas slipped to 7.2 percent in June compared with 7.3 percent in May. The number of jobless Arkansans fell to 99,185, which Pakko noted "was the first time Arkansas unemployment has fallen below 100,000 since February 2009."
Studying nonfarm payrolls on a year-over-year basis, "the seasonally adjusted figures show a net increase of 6,900 jobs since 2011," he said.
Pakko predicted, however, that payroll employment data would eventually be revised to show stronger job growth in late 2011. "If we take these likely revisions into account, payroll employment from June 2011 through June 2012 has expanded by over 16,000 instead of the 6,900 implied by [the July 20] report."

Minnesota Senate Passes Bipartisan Freedom to Marry Bill; Governor to Sign Into Law Tomorrow
Contact: Jake Loesch, Communications Director
Phone Number: (763) 218 – 4810
Monday, May 13, 2013 – Saint Paul, MN – By a historic and bipartisan vote of 37-30, the Minnesota Senate today voted in favor of House File 1054, a bill that extends civil marriage to same-sex couples while protecting the religious freedom of all Minnesotans.
Governor Mark Dayton will officially sign the freedom to marry for same-sex couples into law tomorrow, Tuesday, May 14, at 5:00pm on the front steps of the Minnesota State Capitol.
Minnesotans United – the campaign that led the successful defeat of the marriage amendment in 2012 and has been working to secure the freedom to marry for same-sex couples at the Legislature during the 2013 legislative session – released the following statement:
"Today, we celebrate with thousands of families across our state as Minnesota has written a new page in the history books. Nearly two years ago to the day, the Minnesota Legislature put a hurtful amendment on the 2012 ballot that would've permanently excluded same-sex couples and their families from marriage. It was a conversation that no one had asked for – but an important one to have. Over the last two years, countless Minnesotans have shared their stories and talked about why marriage matters to all families – which brought about the first-ever defeat of such an amendment and carried Minnesota through to this extraordinary moment in time.
The Minnesota Senate has just taken a historic step towards affirming what we already know to be true: Marriage is about the love, commitment, and responsibility that two people share, and it is time to stop denying that to some Minnesotans just because of who they are. Tomorrow will be a joyful day for thousands of families as Governor Dayton finally is able to sign the freedom to marry for all Minnesotans into law."
Minnesotans United, the campaign that successfully defeated the hurtful marriage amendment in 2012, is committed to securing the freedom to marry for loving and committed same-sex couples in 2013.

Salmon: The Invidious 'Down Payment Requirement' Meme
NEW YORK ( Reuters Blogs) -- I feared this would happen. Peter Eavis has a column about what his headline calls "Down Payment Rules". Here's his lede:
It seemed an easy fix to prevent the excesses of the housing market: make home buyers put more money down.
Read on, and you'll find lots of talk about "down payment requirements," "restrictions" on lenders, and whether "requiring a down payment" is a good idea or not, given that we want to both encourage homeownership and prevent systemic risk.
But the subject of Eavis's column -- something called the qualified residential mortgage, or QRM -- was never designed to be "an easy fix to prevent the excesses of the housing market." Rather, it was designed as a loophole to allow banks to wriggle out from an entirely sensible skin-in-the-game requirement.
I covered this subject in some depth back in June 2011, so go read that post if you want the details; nothing has really changed. (For even more on the subject, read Kevin Wack's excellent treatment from a couple of months later.) But the basic story is simple: Under Dodd-Frank, banks need to hold on to at least 5% of the loans that they make. The QRM is a loophole in that requirement -- loans with high down payments are exempt from the law, and banks can sell the entire thing, rather than just 95%.If low-down-payment loans are as safe as the critics of high-down payments say they are, there shouldn't be a problem. The bank will make the loan, will hold on to 5%, and will profit twice: first by selling the other 95% for a quick-flip gain, and secondly by getting a non-defaulting income stream from the remaining 5% of the loan. Somehow, however, the loophole has expanded to encompass pretty much the entire mortgage market, so that high down payments are now considered an outright "requirement" for new loans, rather than just being a way for banks to avoid holding on to a tiny bit of the loan that they themselves are making. Really, this whole debate is concentrating on entirely the wrong thing. The question about high down payment mortgages is a relatively arcane backwater of financial underwriting, and we can leave it to the statisticians and bond investors to decide just how much, if at all, such down payments reduce defaults. Instead, we should be concentrating on the banks here, the institutions which seem to be entirely unwilling to underwrite any mortgage at all, unless and until they're allowed to flip the entire thing, 100%, to bond investors, for a quick, risk-free profit. This violates common sense. If the bank is underwriting the loan, the bank should retain at least a tiny amount of the risk in that loan. Indeed, if I were a bond investor, I would as a matter of course require extra yield on any loans which were sold by a bank without any skin in the game at all. After all, there's not much point in being assiduous about your underwriting if you're just going to sell the entire loan anyway. So instead of debating down payments, let's hold the banks' feet to the fire, a little bit, instead. "Banks do not like" rules requiring them to hold on to 5% of a loan, says Eavis. Why not? Until we get a good answer to that question, we shouldn't even be talking about down payment "requirements" which aren't really requirements at all. -- Written by Felix Salmon in New York.

|I am thinking about trying to raise some culinary herbs outside in large pots. I am in Louisville KY zone 6A. Which herbs do you folks think I could raise in the pots and in full sun. All suggestions are needed as this is new to me I have never tried to raise Herbs. I have had gardens for many years but this is a first. Type of soil and etc. I would like to set the pots on the concrete patio but if necessary I could set them on a raised bench.

|What kind of herbs do you like to use? That would help us make some suggestions.
|I am wanting Herbs to cook with.
- Posted by fatamorgana 5/6 (My Page) on Thu, Mar 28, 13 at 8:06
|Mint, thyme, rosemary, sage should all do well in pots. These are perennials that when treated well will keep growing for years. Basil is an annual that can do well in pots. Annual herbs with long tap roots, like dill and parsley, are trickier since will need large and deep pots.
|Anise Hyssop loves it in full-sun in my zone 6b/zone 7 garden. I have it growing in pots and in the ground. It also grows in half-shade but prefers full-sun. I find it will self-seed where it loves being the best. It has a licorice/anise flavor. I use it in herbal teas, making anise flavored sugar for sugar cookies in the winter time. The flowers give a nice anise taste to fruit salads and regular salads. I also add the flowers and leaves to compound butters, which I then slice and freeze, so that I can add to grilled vegetables or fish dishes all year long. Bees and butterflies "LOVE" this plant!
for more info on Anise Hyssop:
|I am growing all my culinary herbs in containers which are housed in the concrete side yard. Last year they did OK, so I've added more this year: bay laurel, thyme, chives, dill, sage, lemon balm, oregano, lemon verbena, parsley, spearmint, peppermint, etc.
They must be planted in big pots to do well AND get enough water.

|Sweetleaf/stevia is a good easy one to grow, and works wonders for salads and soups.
|For good info. on soils to use, check out the Container Gardening Forum. The most important thing I have learned about growing anything in containers is that they must drain freely. I have successfully grown chives, thyme, tarragon, mints, basils, oregano, sage and rosemary in containers. Parsley and cilantro are inexpensive in our local farmers market so I do not bother trying to grow them. Plus they are difficult to grow here because of the heat. You may have better luck in your zone if you want to try those. If you use fresh herbs for cooking, growing them for yourself is one sure way to save money. Small bundles of Rosemary at the local grocers here cost a couple of dollars.

CME Group leaders cite Illinois taxes in threat to leave Chicago
By David Roeder Business Reporter June 8, 2011 7:08PM
Scenes of downtown Chicago, March 14, 2011. Looking south along La Salle St. toward the Chicago Board of Trade Building from Wacker Drive. l Keith Hale~Sun-Times
Updated: August 3, 2011 5:50PM
Chicago business is partly defined by its concentration of financial traders, but the boss of the city's two dominant futures exchanges said Wednesday that he might pull jobs out of the region in response to a state tax hike on corporations.
Terrence Duffy, chairman of CME Group Inc., said he, Chief Financial Officer James Parisi and the company's internal staff are evaluating a move to other states.
Parisi said the state Legislature's tax hike on corporations cost CME an extra $50 million a year. The tax increase, approved last January, brought the corporate tax rate to 9.5 percent from 7.3 percent.
A Tax Foundation report said the increase gave Illinois the third highest corporate tax rate among the states.
"I'm going to do what's in the best interests of shareholders," Duffy said, adding that "if that means opportunities are greater elsewhere, then we're going to look at those opportunities."
Interviewed after he briefly discussed a relocation at the company's annual shareholder meeting, Duffy said he was angered not only by the tax hike but by the state's failure to close corporate tax loopholes.
The loopholes favor some companies but leave others, including CME, to pay the full rate, Duffy said. CME owns the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, the Chicago Board of Trade and the New York Mercantile Exchange.
It accounts directly for about 2,000 jobs in the Chicago area, but its ripple impact goes much further. Trading firms set up shop here to be near the downtown trading floors, and banks and other institutions add staff to serve that business.
Some estimates place the job count from the trading industry here, which includes the Chicago Board Options Exchange, at more than 60,000.
Duffy said CME could retain some operations here even if it relocated. He declined to discuss those options, but it's unlikely CME would move its trading floors in the Board of Trade building at 141 W. Jackson.
With its vast communications apparatus, a trading floor operation would be hard to duplicate elsewhere. It's more likely that CME would consider moving staff and equipment that deal with electronic trading, which constitutes 80 percent of its business.
Duffy said he has no timetable for a decision. He also said he has not started face-to-face negotiations with the state.
A spokesman for Gov. Pat Quinn said the administration "has an aggressive business agenda and is always open to meeting with business leaders" about their concerns and job creation. The spokesman cited other sources that have praised the state's business climate, saying, "Illinois' advantages for business are unparalleled." The corporate tax hike was approved during the Legislature's lame-duck session along with higher income taxes for individuals.
The move elicited protests from other major employers in the state, notably including Caterpillar Inc.
CME has a data center in Aurora and a back office operation at 550 W. Washington. It also keeps a corporate headquarters at 20 S. Wacker, a two-tower complex where it used to have trading floors.
The threat to leave town seems to contradict another CME initiative to have trading firms place equipment inside the company's data center in Aurora. Called co-location, the service promises firms that the proximity will shave milliseconds off trade processing time, which is seen as an advantage in hyper-fast markets.
But company executives said any extra costs firms would face for moving that equipment would quickly be repaid by state eager to get CME. The company is believed to be looking at New York, New Jersey, Texas and Indiana.
Jack Sandner, retired chairman of CME and a member of its board, said the threat is not idle. "The message is we'll move if we have to," he said.
But the threat also could raise criticism of the company, which booked a profit of $951 million last year on revenue of $3 billion, a margin that's the envy of many industries.
CME also took a $15 million subsidy from the city for costs related to its renovation of the Board of Trade property, a landmark building.
At the shareholders meeting, one person asked Duffy if the company will give the money to city schools, "since they need it more than we do." Duffy replied that the money rightfully belongs to shareholders and that he would have been remiss in not getting it from the city.

Jury Finds Retaliation In Iowa Bias Trial
DES MOINES (AP) -- A Polk County jury has awarded a black woman $130,000, finding that Iowa Workforce Development officials retaliated against her after she filed a complaint with the Iowa Civil Rights Commission.
The jury found Thursday that 52-year-old Dorothea Polk was the subject of retaliation when she was fired from her a job as a clerk in 2006. The jury didn't find racial discrimination.
The trial is the first of four cases involving workers fired from jobs at Iowa Workforce Development between 1999 and 2006.
The plaintiffs' lawyers, Thomas Newkirk and Leonard Bates, argue a culture of discrimination and retaliation existed under the agency's then-human resources director, Jackie Mallory, who was fired in 2006.
The Iowa attorney general's office, representing the state, says race was never a factor in Polk's employment decisions.

That's great size for a defensive back. Big enough to be an outside line-backer in a few years if he can get to 225-240 lbs.
Can this kid play? Or is this a 1 or 2 star guy they're hoping will pan out? I ask because I now reside in 'bama, and don't get to see Texas preps unless they're reported about in the ELP Times.
Is this kid a Mike Price prospect (recruit) that Kuglar will honor a scholarship commitment on?
I tried to find him on Rivals and such - not much info. I don't think he has any stars next to his name. Don't expect EP Times to actually report any info on the kid when they break the news of his signing. You should know by now (if you've been reading for any length of time) that reporting and research isn't really their thing.
Thank you Canaima.
I want to be supportive of the new coaching regime, but unless this kid is a highly rated prep, they may have wasted a scholarship. One can find plenty of 1 & 2 star free safeties and corner backs at 6 ft. and 175 lbs. in El Paso, or within 200 miles of El Paso. I wonder what his 40 time is - unless it's less than 4.6 seconds at that size, he isn't worth wasting the scholarship.
From what I know, he originally committed to Morgan State. He decommitted and is coming to UTEP now, so hopefully that is a good thing. This guy was not a Price guy.
Kid tore his ACL his junior year, so no one was paying much attention to him. Apparently he played quite well for a school that churns out quality D-backs.
Hope this pans out for the Miners. Player development will play a huge part in their future success, something Price excelled at at WSU, but struggled with at UTEP.
I think Price's struggles, in part, were due to the poor quality of players he recruited to UTEP after he went thru Nords players. Other than J.L. Higgins, he never had a real breakthrough player, especially at the skill positions.
Mostly had to due with the quality of tier-level athlete he was able to secure; while at WSU, he had second pick within Washington state for players. At UTEP, he got fifth-tier players from Texas (if he was lucky), and fourth-tier players from California. He never recruited the junior colleges well, either. And, never built up great depth charts, so when a good player ran out of gas or was injured, they struggled.
I'm sure this new kid will do well. Look forward to Kuglar signing more promising prospects. Go Miner's!
What about standout players in ELP - is UTEP pursuing them with vigor? From what I've read in the paper over the past year, Kuglar should be able to land 7 to 10 good athletes. He perhaps, could get 10 to 20 above-average players to at least walk-on.
Tommy Tubberville's philosophy on building programs was simple - win the recruiting battle within 200 miles of your campus, and the rest will take care of itself. Auburn stank after Chizik went thru Tubberville's player's.
Price's recruiting problems stemmed from his assistants. They are the ones that do the recruiting. If you take a look at the list of assistants that Price had at WSU, he had some quality coaches. If you take a look at what he had at UTEP, not so much. That stemmed from his reliance on his incompetent son as an officensive coordinator. Patterson was a pretty good defensive coordinator, and he relied on his assitants to pull in some pretty good defensive talent over the past two years; small but talented.
From what I have seen so far from Kugler, he and his staff seem to be pretty agressive about going after quality players, two three-star recruits already. They are honoring Price's offers, but I wouldn't put a lot of stock in what the develop into.
I'm holding my breath, but I do have my fingers crossed.
Great insight georgeofthedesert. Price's loyalty to his son should be a lesson to all in a managerial capacity - family and business don't mix. You're better off working out a deal with a colleague to hire their relative in exchange for hiring yours. That way there's no guilt if they don't work out.
Assistant's do play a crucial role in recruiting, but interest in a school is primarily directed at the head coach, and he many times has to close the deal with a kid on the fence about schools. Case in point Auburn - Chizik had the charisma of a piece of wood, and experienced a number decommitments after they were reportedly signed. Auburn's recruiting directors (Trooper Tailor & Curtis Luper) were corrupt but effective. I don't think I could trust my lively hood to an 18-22 year. Coaches must experience a great deal of stress, especially since more coaches are fired than resign.
Pascal, a lot of what you say makes sense except for this little excerpt:
"One can find plenty of 1 & 2 star free safeties and corner backs at 6 ft. and 175 lbs. in El Paso"
Try 5'7" and 150lbs.
JAT: What about within 200 miles of ELP? There's a lot of distance between El Paso and 200 miles to the north, east, and west.
UTEP can battle for those recruits against the likes of UNM, NMSU, and Texas Tech. The Big 12 is down, so I think the school they have to compete with most is UNM (Coach Bob Davie). The MWC is as good in football as the Big 12, and if UTEP somehow gets invited to the MWC dance, it's a push.
Plus, Texas Tech recruits Houston and Dallas. They have limited interest in Midland/Odessa & ELP athletes, unless they're standouts like the receiver that plays (played?) under Leach & Tubberville.
I personally feel UTEP should recruit outside the box & look to S. America (Brazil, Argentina, Venezuela, etc.) for recruits. Football isn't a difficult sport to learn, and some of those kids already play rugby; so they know how to tackle and block (for the most part).
I've recently visited S. America - Brazil and Venezuela have some big, athletic kids in their national sports system. A number of them participate in soccer, so they're athletic as well. Cuba & Puerto Rico have some big rice & bean fed boys as well. Look at the size/athletism of the Brazilian MMA fighters, and Puerto Rican & Cuban boxers. I'm Puerto Rican, so the rice & bean fed comment is politically correct.
South Africa, France, Australlia, New Zealand, and England also have big corn-fed boys that play rugby. Watch the rugby world cup next time it rolls around; that's intense, fierce, and physical play. It's also extremely dangerous - I wouldn't play that sport.
Heck, the Canadians already play an abbreviated brand of American football, look there f/recruits. Big 10 schools already recruit heavily from Canada.
I bet Kugler lands Canadian recruits out the gate; he grew up close to Canada and probably saw them play while growing up. Plus, foreigners will do anything for a USA student visa and potential citizenship.
The Polynisian culture has played a big part of BYU football success over the years. They were the first to recruit and convert Somoans/New Zealanders, etc., from rugby to American football. Look at how many Polynisian athletes now play professional football; Somoa and New Zealand are amongst the best rugby countries, but there are several other that are better.
I really want Kugler to do well. He gave up an NFL coaching career to come to UTEP; lets hope he embraces the Herculean task he has ahead of him. I don't mind if he leaves, as long as he has advanced the programs profile. He DOES NOT, after all, have big shoes to fill in replacing Mike Price.
Sorry for the long-winded response. I'll get off of my soapbox now. Regards!
Great response Pascal. I hope Kugler turns us around again.

The Pink Project
Breast cancer strikes often and it strikes close to home. Awareness and education is crucial, but so is research funding. A portion of the sale of each Pink Denise product goes directly and entirely to breast cancer research through the S.D.Ireland fund. Thanks to the generosity of the S.D. Ireland family, 100% of donations to their Cancer Research Fund go directly to the research lab. All administrative fees and "overhead" are paid for by the family, making every dollar donated a research dollar--and every dollar makes a difference. Since we launched the Pink Project in October 2006, over $186,465 has been raised thanks to the generosity of stitchers like you. Learn more below.
Watch a video to hear directly from the head researcher, David Krag, MD.
Read a letter from Denise owner Linda Krag, sister in law of David and two-time breast cancer survivor.
I know David primarily as my fun-loving, sparkly-eyed brother-in-law who, like me, loves a good cup of coffee and spending time with his family. My experiences with breast cancer, though, have introduced me to a different side of David, one I am immensely proud of and grateful for. David's research is dedicated to finding ways to both diminish the side effects of successful cancer treatments and eradicate cancer-related deaths. His sentinel node detection technique is now preferred by physicians worldwide because of its ease and accuracy. David's current research focuses on finding effective chemotherapy treatments that attack only cancer cells rather than every cell in the body, resulting in fewer side effects and more positive outcomes.
Unfortunately, Federal funding for cancer research has been severely reduced in the past few years. Research is costly, but not doing research is costlier in lives. Having the preliminary research to present to grant committees is an intense challenge while trying to keep the research afloat and a team intact. David says, "The big leaps and breakthroughs of science are often achieved by the most risky and speculative research. Donated funds allow immediate action on new ideas."
Enter Scott Ireland, and his wife, Kim. After Scott received treatment for melanoma from David at the University of Vermont, Scott and Kim were so impressed by his cutting-edge research that they created an endowed Professorship in Surgical Oncology at the University of Vermont College of Medicine and made David the first recipient. They subsequently created the S.D. Ireland Cancer Research Fund, which is very unusual in that it pays all its own administrative costs, funneling all donated monies directly into research. That's where your contribution from the proceeds of this kit comes in. Five dollars of your purchase price of a pink Denise kit goes, one hundred percent, to research through the S.D. Ireland Fund. The purchase of a pink Companion Set contributes $2, and pink long cords $1 to the Fund. As a company, we donate an additional percentage of our entire annual income to the Fund. Any additional contribution you can make will also go where it is needed most, to pay the ongoing costs of research to find more effective and less debilitating treatments for breast cancer.
When I asked David recently what made him choose breast cancer as his focus of research he said, "This disease affects young, old and everyone in between. People wake up in the morning ready for a beautiful day and find a lump in the breast. No way. This has to be fixed. The breast cancer problem is completely solvable. There are great researchers with great ideas and teams of doctors ready to deliver what comes out of the research labs. It only has a price tag. Every single dollar is meaningful. That single donated dollar connects the donor with all the other caring people that want this problem to be eradicated."
Thank you for joining us in supporting research to not only find better treatments for ourselves and for our children, but to eliminate the fear of breast cancer all together. Be happy, be healthy, and take joy in your knitting and your life!
Sincerely enjoying fibercrafting and hope you are too,
Linda Krag
Read the most recent update from the lab.
We asked surgeon and breast cancer researcher, Dr. David Krag, for an update on what the lab is working on and how these funds are making a difference. Here's what he had to say:
Our international team of expert researchers is developing methods to make customized treatments for breast cancer patients. These treatments use the body's own immune response to eradicate cancer cells in a targeted way. This will ultimately make chemotherapy and radiation a thing of the past.
We are focused on breast cancer, but the methods should be equally effective for any other type of cancer. For example, we are collaborating with researchers who are treating neuroblastoma. This is an uncommon but very aggressive cancer in children. We are already applying the methods generated in our lab to neuroblastoma tumors and will anxiously look forward to our new work in this area.
We are very pleased that as of July, 2013 after a long series of lab-based experiments, this antibody research is now ready for evaluation in patients. The first tests will help us perfect the technique of selecting anti-cancer antibodies in individual patients before we move on to using these antibodies as treatment.
The first patients will have a vaccine (inactive cells) made from their own tumor injected into the skin. We will then use a harmless radioactive tracer to locate the vaccine-draining lymph node which we will remove through a small biopsy. Then we will test all of the hundreds to thousands of different antibodies present in the lymph node to locate those that specifically attack the cancer cells.
It is very important to first determine the number and quality of antibodies produced by the body in response to the cancer vaccine. The next step will be to produce sufficient quantities of the selected anti-cancer antibodies for autotranfusion back to the same patient. Anyone who has seen a loved one go through chemotherapy or experienced it themselves will appreciate the enormity of what this could mean. Instead of killing any rapidly-dividing cell as chemotherapy does, using the body's own anti-cancer antibodies would affect only the cancer cells. And because the treatment will involve antibodies originating in the patient's own body, the body's response to it should be smooth and easy.
We are evaluating new methods to transform the most promising antibodies into therapeutic agents that could soon be used to treat breast cancer patients. We have teamed with world class researchers who are experts in new tumor models and with researchers in Germany who have developed new modifications of antibodies that make them much more active in helping the body engage its own immune system to deal with the cancer.
We are so grateful to the many donors who have made it possible for us to get to this point. We particularly need funds over the next 6 to 9 months to accomplish this first set of experiments with patients. The faster we can move through this phase, the quicker we can move to treating patients! Through the help of many, many friends who have purchased pink Denise products, our research has sped up measurably. Critical equipment has been purchased that will allow experiments to proceed much more rapidly. The funds help very much on a tangible level, but we are also deeply moved by the show of support by so many people. We thank all of you who are sending funds (and good will!) our way through the S.D. Ireland Cancer Research Fund.
From the lab,
David Krag, MD and team

U.S. Postal Service Celebrates La Florida's 500th Anniversary
Four Elegant Forever Stamps Dedicated Today Mark the Occasion
ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla., April 3, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The U.S. Postal Service today commemorated the 500th anniversary of the naming of Florida with the issuance of a block of four colorful Forever stamps, titled "La Florida." This bouquet of stamps evokes the beauty of the state's lush flora. The stamp dedication ceremony was held at Flagler College in St. Augustine.
The 46-cent La Florida Forever stamps are produced in four designs. They are good for mailing 1-ounce First-Class letters anytime in the future regardless of price changes and are available for purchase at local Post Offices, online at usps.com/stamps or by calling 800-STAMP24 (800-782-6724).
"From the moment Ponce de Leon arrived on these shores, Florida has been a destination for dreamers," said U.S. Postal Service Southern Area Operations Vice President Jo Ann Feindt in dedicating the stamps. "This state occupies a special place in the American imagination, and so these stamps give people another way to share the wonders of Florida.""Being a fifth-generation Floridian who has visited every part of the state and even seen it from space, I can tell you it's unmatched in its beauty and diverse heritage," said U.S. Senator Bill Nelson. "It's fitting the U.S. Postal Service is creating a stamp to commemorate the 500 years of history since Ponce de Leon." Joining Feindt in dedicating the new stamps were U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson of Florida and St. Augustine Mayor Joseph L. Boles. Also participating were Florida Department of State Secretary Ken Detzner; Flagler College President Dr. William T. Abare; and actor Chad Light, who portrays Juan Ponce de Leon for the State of Florida. To create the La Florida stamps, artist Steve Buchanan of Winsted, CT, evoked a tropical feel, with bouquets of flowers native to the state. He chose flowers of different sizes and colors for distinction but harmonized as a group, much like a garden. He drew and painted the flowers using Photoshop. Art director Ethel Kessler designed the stamp pane, choosing an illustration of explorers to highlight the celebration of the first Spanish explorations of Florida. Known today for its towering palm trees, flourishing orange groves and opulent displays of flowers, the state earns the name — La Florida — given by the Spanish in 1513.

Dr. Lam,
I am a 32 year old patient of yours and excited after reading your blog on your vitality 25 page report.
A few questions for you.
Briefly, what does a 25 page report tell a patient? Perhaps you could give us some of the highlights and costs to have a report?
You said that your testosterone needed a boost. A total testosterone level on a lab report's range is wide (~ 250-900) Can you explain at what level a male should be treated for a low testosterone level?
Yes, I have seen a few md's concerning this as my father requires testosterone supplementation. Since 2001 I have been tracking my levels. For instance, in 2001 my free testosterone level was 19.9 and 2 years ago was 13.3 (total= 448). I just had another level drawn and should get the results soon.
Lastly, how soon did you begin to feel a difference after starting T3 and hormone bio-identical supplentation?

As if Amir Khan needed any further motivation for Saturdayâs fight against Danny Garcia, his opponentâs father has provided
Angel Garcia might have done his son, the WBC junior lightweight champion, a great disservice starting back at the introductory press conference in June.
The elder Garcia called Khan âoverratedâ and also said they were going to send Khan back to Europe on a âflying genie carpet.â
Saturday night, Khan (26-2, 18 KOs) has his sights on making the younger Garcia (23-0, 14 KOs) pay for those words.
The two will meet in a junior lightweight unification fight from the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.
The fight will air on HBO.

SOCMA: Today's Federal Laws Protecting Chemical Facilities Appropriately Address Security Risks
Lawmakers in Both Parties Support CFATS
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Society of Chemical Manufacturers and Affiliates (SOCMA) today reiterated that congressional members in both parties have repeatedly expressed support for the Department of Homeland Security's Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Act Standards (CFATS), which require thousands of chemical facilities nationwide to develop and deploy meaningful security enhancements.
"The comprehensive security standards currently being implemented and enforced under federal regulation have repeatedly been deemed appropriate and sufficient by congressional members in both parties in both chambers over multiple Congresses," said Bill Allmond, Vice President of Government and Public Relations. "Furthermore, Democratic and Republican administrations alike support the existing standards."
More than 2,700 facilities have already reduced their risk profile sufficiently enough that they no longer warrant regulation under the program. Also, the secretary of DHS has the authority to levy significant fines for non-compliance, and can even shut a facility down.SOCMA's priority is to ensure enactment of a long-term authorization of CFATS absent of drastic programmatic changes. SOCMA members have spent millions of dollars to upgrade security following the attacks of September 11, 2001, and in response to federal regulation. "There is currently no credible threat to the chemical sector or changes that justify a heavier hand by the federal government," Allmond added. "Such efforts have been considered and rejected by previous Congresses. We fully expect, and also support, Congress and the administration to reauthorize the existing comprehensive security standards." About SOCMA SOCMA is the only U.S.-based trade association dedicated solely to the batch, custom and specialty chemical industry. Since 1921, we have represented a diverse membership of small, medium and large chemical companies, making us the leading authority on this sector. SOCMA has a global membership of 220 companies, which employ more than 46,000 workers in the U.S. alone.

Sundogged commented on the blog post Bradley Manning's Defense Lawyer Acknowledges Press, Public Pushed Military to Move Him to Leavenworth
Maybe David Coombs could discuss the concept of amicus curiae with Bradley in explaining the various interests that citizens now have in the Manning v. U.S. litigation. It is extremely important that we share information on this struggle among as many people as possible.
Sundogged commented on the blog post Former Quantico Brig Commander Testifies at Bradley Manning's 'Unlawful Pretrial Punishment' Hearing
The last paragraph in this posting shows the critical need for whistle-blowing on our national defense establishment!
Sundogged commented on the blog post Military Colonel Planned Sanity Board's Review of Bradley Manning to Avoid Media Attention
To put some perspective on this, nothing with a classification level above Secret is involved. Furthermore, some 3-4 million people have clearances that allow them access to such material. An existential threat this ain't….

Sundogged commented on the blog post Optimism, Pessimism and Action at Netroots Nation
I agree. However, if there is some truth to what independentvoternews suggests, that might explain the downbeat tenor of Netroots Nation this year!
Sundogged commented on the blog post Why I'm Challenging Secrecy in Bradley Manning's Court Martial
Very Informative piece.
I stupidly believed Judge Col. Denise Lind read so many documents aloud just to kindly share them with the courtroom audience. But now I understand that instead Col. Lind is simply helping the government (the prosecution) keep the sunlight out of her courtroom!
Sundogged commented on the blog post Live Blog: Bradley Manning Pre-Trial Motion Hearing
After sitting for parts of the Manning pre-trial hearing, his arraignment, and on this hearing on motions, I took away the impression that Coombs is smart and smooth. Up to now, all the snickers seem to have been aimed at the United States (sic) team. For example, having serious trouble with their emails from the proceedings. Which are only preludes to a trial with heavy internet involvement (see also Comment 47)! Coombs may not have won much so far, but he did not appear to screw up either.
Perhaps more importantly, there must be a Hippocratic oath in the law that says the well being of your client is more important than you demonstrating any political issues, or permitting any other distractions. Hence, the defense lawyer may not be playing the role we might hope. In my opinion, at this point in time Manning deserves all the personal regard and support that his defense or we can offer. He has done his duty.
Sundogged commented on the blog post Donovan: The Foreclosure Fraud Settlement Is Strong Because of the OCC Settlement
It is frightening to imagine life if the 99% were to flaunt laws like the 1% do.
Sundogged commented on the blog post Bradley Manning Arraignment – Live Blog
FWIW, I felt that today was the first time that the prosecution (the Government) stumbled around a bit. There were reports of lost emails, of the requirement for a delay of the trial, and a needless overwhelming of the defense by the Government with overly-long and ambiguous lists of evidence and seized items. Previously, it seemed like the Government and the Investigating Officer or judge were operating more tightly and smoothly.
Sundogged commented on the blog post Police Amass at Freedom Plaza to Evict or 'Inspect' DC Occupation
In view of the breakdown of trust between #OccupyDC and the National Park Service Police yesterday, perhaps more care should be invested by both sides today by more _slowly_ working on improving communication and teaching respect for the First Amendment. If this delays the Inspection into this evening and the police miss the Super Bowl, that could be a graphic example to them of the importance of the First Amendment.
Sundogged commented on the blog post Army Monitored Tweets from Press at the Bradley Manning Hearing
This VOCUS group seems like nothing more than today's equivalent of the old newspaper clipping services. I sure am happy to hear that the USG is trying hard to learn how we really feel about what it is doing.
Sundogged commented on the blog post Bradley Manning Pre-Trial: Live Blog, Day 2
In the old days, if it were a paper item, its classification level would be marked conspicuously on the front and back covers. Or the item would be put in a container with obvious classification markings. But when taken out in public it would be carried around in something boring like a Safeway food sack.

In the middle of this afternoon, I called Rep. Van Hollen's Capitol Hill office and asked to speak to a staffer regarding budget, Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid. The receptionist went to find someone, then came back and said he was asked to take my message. After explaining my position, I asked Rep. Van Hollen's plans on tonight's vote creating a Super Congress. The receptionist explained that the Representative does not want to balance the budget on the backs of the weakest in our society. I said, yes, but how does he plan to vote tonight? The reply was that Van Hollen had not decided yet.

Sundogged commented on the blog post Social Security and Medicare Ads: Approved and Running
I think Cuts 2 will be the most effective.
The ad for Cuts1 cites only Social Security. Yet, the landing page mentions Medicare as well, so the combination of ad and landing page is presently inconsistent. It is a good ad in that it covers two groups of potential supporters, those who worry about Social Security and those concerned with Medicare. (We might reach three groups if we also mentioned Medicaid.)
Also, is there some simple way to identify Chained CPI in a phrase somewhere to remind people that is also a cut?
Unfortunately, Cuts5 and Cuts3 mention Congress rather than focus on the target, Obama.
