- Summary: In the All-American Training Challenge, players can improve their game skills by competing in passing, shooting, and defensive tests against former college basketball standouts like Mike Conley Jr. of Ohio State, Julian Wright of Kansas, Glen "Big Baby" Davis of LSU, Alando Tucker ofIn the All-American Training Challenge, players can improve their game skills by competing in passing, shooting, and defensive tests against former college basketball standouts like Mike Conley Jr. of Ohio State, Julian Wright of Kansas, Glen "Big Baby" Davis of LSU, Alando Tucker of Wisconsin, Al Thornton of Florida State, J.J. Redick of Duke, and College Hoops 2K8 cover athlete, Greg Oden of Ohio State. Gamers can progress through the challenge drills against these great players while tracking their best times and highest scores in the game. With multiplayer support for up to four players, gamers can compete against their friends to see who has the best College Hoops skills. College basketball fans can truly feel the benefit of playing in front of a frenzied crowd—be it at home or in a neutral tournament venue—with the 6th Man Advantage where the energy of a team's fans can motivate a team to play harder and with more confidence. During a game, the 6th Man Meter measures the current energy and excitement level of the crowd. By scoring often, playing good defense, and raising the excitement level of the crowd, the 6th Man Meter will rise. Once the meter is full, the home team gains the advantage of playing with less fatigue for a brief period while the opposing team starts to lose confidence in their playing ability. The 6th Man Advantage delivers a realistic element with how a great crowd can inspire their team to victory. [2K Sports]… Expand

The biggest change from 2K7 to 2K8 is 2K Share. Getting rosters should have been this easy ever since all our consoles used the Internet out of the box. For some of us, that one feature will be all we need to hear to commit to another version of College Hoops.
A technically competent basketball simulation outfitted with years' worth of features and created by a development team with an obvious passion for NCAA ball. If you're looking for an NBA simulation, that's absolutely what you should play.
2K Sports has introduced a lot of concepts and perfectly captured the college arena atmosphere, but the game itself needs a bit more work on all of its moving parts.
While not perfect, College Hoops 2K8 has really raised the bar on virtual college basketball for the season. The new 6th Man Meter and Maximum Passing features both add depth and strategy and the addition of high-school blue-chippers to the Legacy mode adds, well, a whole lot more basketball to the disc.
The Sixth Man Advantage pumps the crowd up -- maybe too well. The unrivaled Legacy Mode is better than ever and the new Coaching Adjustments really make a difference, rather than being a cosmetic touch-up.
Many of the improvements are subtle, but the changes and additions to College Hoops 2K8 make it the best game in the series.
For all the additions in this game, some sensible, some less so, there's one constant: The gameplay is sharp, and players move up and down the court with purpose and meaning.

This game is simply the best available right now for NCAA basketball fans. The tournament, recruiting, small/mid-major/big-time schools are all represented well here.
If you want an NBA game, get the NBA 2K series. But if you want great, deep, fairly realistic college ball, get this one, I'm sure its available cheaply through a number of outlets now.… Expand

The Ocean Kayak Frenzy Kayak performs well on surf, tight rivers, and flat water due to it's short length and built in keel. The Frenzy kayak is stable enough for beginning paddlers, but spunky enough to provide years of fun on a variety of water types. It is outfitted with a Comfort Plus seat, a skid plate, as well as hard plastic side carry handles.

Ordering a kayak thru the internet seemed strange to me, but it worked great from ACK. The Frenzy was wrapped securely. I opened it up for inspection before signing for the delivery. The kayak fit in my van...no need to load it on top. Easy to pick up for one person. The Frenzy is very stable and tracks well. I took a two hour paddle on a lake and that was about the perfect length of time. I wouldn't want to be in it all day, but with it being so easy to transport, I plan on taking it out frequently. It is not sleek and fast, and it generates a bow wave. I paddled a 11.5' kayak afterward and could easily notice a difference. However, I think that the Frenzy will give you more enjoyment on the water because you will use it more. Can't wait to try it on the waves at the beach. The seat promotes a more upright proper paddling position. When you want to lounge, you can lean your elbows back on the deck...really comfortable. It is so stable that you can look straight down into the water. Also, very easy to get in and out of it. I recommend that you go with a long paddle. I should have gotten a 240cm vs a 230cm. The sunrise color is gorgeous.
The Frenzy used to come with carry handles. Unfortunately Ok ships them with out not. Hard to carry without them. Pretty good fishing yak for the money though. I think you can add the handles for about $25...
We used this model in Florida while on vacation and loved the fact that it was so stable. We live on a lake in Ohio and bought two for everyday use. We were a little hesitant about ordering such a large purchase online, but everything worked out great. They are packaged well for shipping. Highly recommend!
Great kayak(s).. we bought two just to play on the Magothy River and wanted a basic kayak for kids, adults and in between.. light and easy to store. so far we are very happy with both the kayaks and AKC..

Having witnessed the Hinsdale High School District 86 teacher negotiations climax this summer, I can't stand by any longer. I am not even sure what to write.
Do I discuss that only 18 percent of voters brought in this current board? Or the misleading four-page color brochure paid for by tax dollars and sent to hundreds of homes outside of District 86? Community voices diminished at board meetings and concerning emails withheld on the board website? Or the District 181 teacher negotiations which were seamless and timely, resulting in a fair contract for all stakeholders? Or the simple facts? Four people trying to hijack educational policy while hundreds of teachers, parents and students oppose. That's simple math.
Stop trying to fix something that is not broken. District 86 is highly sought after by both families and educational professionals because of its solid national reputation. Teachers deserve the respect they have earned for decades. This includes the retention of a competitive salary schedule providing incentive for years of experience and advanced coursework. As a 1993 graduate of Central, I am grateful for the invaluable education which led to a rigorous undergraduate experience, master's degree and very fulfilling 18-year career. But one of the most important concepts I learned along the way was democracy. This translates to not letting just a few people make decisions the majority of residents do not favor. Don't be blinded by the merit pay myth. Don't be a bystander any longer. That is what democracy looks like.

Weatherization Means More Comfort, Lower Utility Bills
Is Insulation for You?
If you think your home should feel warmer and less drafty in the winter and cooler in the summer, you may need to add insulation. A good way to confirm this is to have a home energy evaluation, which includes assessing whether there's avoidable heat loss from your home.
What You Should Know About Insulation.
Insulation helps block heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer.
Insulation work typically is done with a related weatherization measure, air sealing. Before adding insulation, it's important to seal air leaks first so air is not moving around or through the insulation. Next Step Living® technicians insulate attics and exterior walls with blown-in cellulose.
How well insulation works is measured by what's called "R-value," the ability to resist heat flow. The higher the R-value, the more insulating power. Different R-values are recommended for walls, attics, basements and crawlspaces. Homes in New England should have a minimum R-value of R38 in the attic and a recommended R-value of R49 to R60. The U.S. Department of Energy recommends 10 to 12 inches of properly installed insulation to achieve R38.
Depending on which community you live in, the cost of insulating your home may be substantially covered by a utility-company program. (For more specific information about rebates and incentives, please provide your ZIP code in the Get Started button to the right.)
Insulation and the Next Step Living Difference.
By working with a Next Step Living specialist, you'll get not only expert workmanship but help making sure that you're taking advantage of all available rebates and incentives. (For more specific information, please provide your ZIP code in the Get Started button to the right.) This is part of our whole-home approach to energy efficiency, your one-stop resource for a more energy-efficient home that can include additional weatherization work like air sealing.
The Impact of Insulation.
By insulating your home, you can expect:
- More energy efficiency since you will dramatically cut a leading cause of energy waste in most homes: inadequate insulation (and air leakage)
- More comfort: much less draftiness in the winter and cooler temperatures indoors during the summer
- Estimated savings of up to 20 percent on your heating and cooling costs or up to 10 percent savings on your total energy costs, according to Energy Star

How many times have you heard that docs don't know whether your (or your child's) infection is bacterial or viral, and thus they don't know how to treat it? Researchers at Duke have come up with an accurate test to determine that and it only takes 12 hours to process, plenty of time to get antiviral or antibiotics meds on board to fight the infection. Take that, you superbugs!
|Thu, 09-19-2013 - 10:22am
That's cool!!!! Take that! I do not look forward to this time of year where we all get sick!!!! It sucks!
|Fri, 09-20-2013 - 1:18pm
You're right. We have been healthy for long that it's scaring me, like we're due for a doozy of an illness. Call me paranoid, but it just never lasts this long with little kids in the house! Got C&D their flu mist yesterday so that may help. Last year everyone else in the neighborhood still got sick even with the vaccine (we were spared and hadn't had our shots so who knows?!).

I have a love for all things old and rusty. I love to go to the junkyards to take pics, especially of the old cars. They have SO much character. I am not really very good at photographing them, though. I like the way you compose these shots and your POV. Really nice work.
Thank you so much again. I'm so glad you enjoy my work. About POV, I just love Low Angle shots. I mean it gives so much perspective to almost every subject. And having a very wide angle lens is a huge advantage as both the wide angle lens and the POV are the best couple you could ever find ;-)

Now that you have the new Low Angle group, I am more conscious about trying to take some low angle pics. I have a wide angle lens on my wish list . :))
Thank you very much for this feature Vicki. Greatly appreciated ;-) – Jeremy

Superb processing, Congratulations on your feature in " As is Photography Group" and your other features, well deserved!
Thank you very much for your kind comment Larry ;-) – Jeremy

in the future. Our growing ability to quantify processes specific to the near-surface environment also lets us reconstruct Earth's past in increasing detail including aspects of its geochemistry, biotic processes, topography, and particle and solute fluxes. The information stored in landscapes and sediments provides a kind of "time telescope" that allows us to view what is in effect a temporal sequence of alternative Earths—recognizably our planet, yet often surprising and unfamiliar.
In addition, the history of landscapes strongly influences their present state and future evolution. In the Earth's northerly regions, the current landscape pattern was largely created by glacial processes that peaked around 18,000 years ago, and present-day debates about agricultural best practices and practical water quality standards require a sophisticated understanding of how the landscape is evolving in response to the deglaciation. Likewise, coastal erosion is still influenced by uplift and subsidence in response to shifts in ice loading over Holocene time. The fate of global deltas on which hundreds of millions of people depend in turn depends on the delicate interplay of subsidence and sedimentation developed over geologic time. In upland regions, the general importance of tectonic history is obvious; more subtle are the possible effects of variations in uplift rate and climate in influencing the balance of sediment storage and release to downstream river systems. Soils are among the clearest examples of the influence of past time—the soils that support global agriculture represent the integrated effects of tens of thousands of years of biogeochemical processes.
The evolutionary road from the prebiotic Earth and an atmosphere devoid of oxygen to the human-dominated conditions of today has been well documented in the popular

Graphic video: Utah BASE jumper almost loses leg near Moab
Warning: the video above includes extreme depictions of blood and injury, as well as explicit language.
An Ogden man nearly snapped off his lower leg and foot during a botched BASE jump near Moab last week.
In a video posted to YouTube Tuesday (warning: the video is extremely graphic), Ammon McNeely shows his gnarled lower left leg — complete with a bloody bone protruding out over his shoe.
McNeely, 43, suffered the injury after jumping from a cliff in the Moab area.
According to the Grand County Sheriff's office, McNeely's parachute did not fully deploy. As he fell, he hit the rock wall several times before finally coming to a rest on a cliff 600 feet above Kane Creek Boulevard. McNeely added in a Facebook post that he struck the cliff with his foot as he plummeted down.
"I knew I was banged up, but to my utter surprise my foot was flipped on its side looking very similar to a Nalgene bottle with just a sliver of skin keeping it on," McNeely wrote in the Facebook post.
McNeely shot the video of his injuries while waiting for search and rescue personnel to arrive. In his post, he says his first thought was to wiggle his toes but he soon applied a tourniquet because "blood was squirting everywhere." He had to use a stick to tighten the tourniquet enough to make the blood stop squirting.
McNeely remains surprisingly calm throughout the video, casually panning back and forth between his face and his mangled leg. He also repeatedly says he believes he'll lose his leg.
It took about 45 minutes for rescuers to arrive and climb up to McNeely's position, according to his Facebook post. The sheriff's office describes the rescuers as a technical climbing team who hoisted McNeely down the mountain. A helicopter then transported him to the hospital, according to the sheriff's office.
On Facebook, McNeely wrote that he was "absolutely prepared to wake up the next morning, minus a foot." However, doctors managed to save the limb, though he still faces the risk of infection.
McNeely is an experienced climber and BASE jumper, according to online profiles. His Facebook post includes an explanation of his activities and he has posted numerous pictures of himself parachuting and ascending rock faces. A Wikipedia page states that he holds several climbing records. He also has a Vimeo profile with videos of other, less disastrous, outdoor adventures.
In his post, he writes that he takes "100% of the responsibility for this, and all other, accidents/injuries both in BASE jumping and rock climbing."
The post concludes with a pair of questions: "Do we stand up and take the risks and have a blast enjoying our passions in life? Or, do we hide in the shadows, being afraid of what might happen if we are so bold to follow our dreams?"

New Football Coaching Staff Gelling Together During Spring Practice
CLARKSDALE Coahoma Community Colleges new head football Coach Karl Morgan has solidified his coaching staff and the group has been busy in recent weeks during spring practices evaluating the talent currently on the CCC roster, and gauging what the next steps will be to add to that talent and move towards building a competitive program at the college.
Morgan was officially announced as Coahomas new football coach on Jan. 27th and replaced Freeman Horton who spent 12 years as the Tigers head coach and earned 35 wins during that time. Morgan is a former UCLA Bruins and Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive lineman and NFL defensive tackle with 20-plus years of coaching experience most recently as the head coach at Mississippi Valley State.
I think we have a good mix of youth and experience everyone is working well together and I think were off to a really good start, said Morgan who will also act as the teams defensive coordinator and defensive line coach. We have some challenges ahead. We are going to have to add some depth in a few areas, especially the offensive line and at linebacker. But I think weve put together a good staff that can get that job done.
We have no selfish individuals and no ego-driven coaches. Each one of them brings something to the table whether its recruiting, a high-level of energy or technical expertise, they each have something to offer.
William Kirksey, linebackers coach and recruiting coordinator: Coach Kirksey has been with Coahoma Community College for the last 13 years as the defensive coordinator and strength and conditioning coach. Before coming to CCC, he spent four years as the defensive line coach at Northwest Community College.
Before becoming a coach, Kirksey played his collegiate football at Southern Mississippi earning a nod on the All-Independence team at linebacker before the Eagles joined Conference USA. During his senior season he was the teams captain and Defensive MVP.
After being undrafted out of college, Kirksey earned an NFL roster spot with the Minnesota Vikings (1990-92) and continued his career with the Falcons for one season and the Kansas City Chiefs for a year-and-a-half before a career-ending injury forced him out of the game. Kirksey also had a stint with the London Monarchs.
Chris Mattox, defensive backs: Coach Mattox will return for his second season with Coahoma Community College coaching in the defensive secondary. Before coming to CCC, he spent two years working in defensive quality control with Hinds Community College.
Prior to coming to Mississippi, Mattox was the Director of Football Operations at the United States Merchant marine Academy (2010) and began his coaching career in 2009 as an offensive intern with Liu-Post a Division II football program in Long Island, NY.
Cedric Shell, offensive coordinator: Coach Shell began his coaching career in 2005 at McPherson College (McPherson, KS) as the wide receiver and tight end coach and video coordinator. He spent the next five seasons at McPherson coaching defensive backs, wide receivers and running backs.
In 2012, Shell took a position with Graceland University (Lamoni, IA) as the wide receivers coach and special teams coordinator where he stayed through the 2013-14 season before coming to Coahoma.
Devario Dorsey, offensive line: Coach Dorsey played college football for East Mississippi Community College (2005-06) where he earned 2nd Team All-Region honors and voted to play in the MACJC All-Star Game. He would continue his career at West Texas A&M University earning 2nd Team Lone Star Conference honors and receiving a spot in the Cactus Bowl the Division II All-Star Game.
Dorsey stayed on at West Texas A&M as a graduate assistant (2009-11) working with the offensive line and tight ends. He then transferred to Southern Arkansas University as a graduate assistant coaching running backs and earning his masters degree in Coaching and Kinesiology.
He spent the 2013-14 season at Mississippi Delta Community College as the Trojans offensive line coach before accepting the position at Coahoma.
Jason Morgan, wide receivers and kicking: Jason played collegiate football at Hampton University (2003-06) and the University of North Alabama (2007-08) as a wide receiver for the Pirates and the Lions. While playing football, Jason also earned his bachelors degree in Sports Science and Coaching and his masters degree in Health and Physical Education.
His coaching career began in 2008 as a graduate assistant at Austin Peay State University. Jason went on to work at the University of Louisville (Defensive Quality Control 2009), Mississippi Valley State University (defensive backs and video coordinator 2010-11), and as an offensive coach at the University of Akron (2012-13).
The staff will continue to work this spring and into the summer on recruiting and trying to bring some diamonds in rough to Coahoma for the 2014 season.
Recruiting is going to be ongoing, and we will continue until we are unable to recruit any more, said Morgan. So far, I think the attitudes of our players have been really good, and they have been very receptive to what we are trying to do. I think with a few more additions at some key spots, and with the coaching staff that weve put together, that we will be a competitive football team next fall.

Influential clerics support top leader's adviserJune 9, 2013 @ 10:15 am
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) - An influential Iranian clerical body has announced its support for presidential candidate Ali Akbar Velayati in the June 14 election.
A Sunday report by the semi-official Mehr news agency quotes the Association of Teachers of Qom Seminary as saying the association decided to support Velayati, current foreign adviser for Iran's Supreme Leader.
The association is seen an important reference body for many conservatives and average Iranian voters who are devout.
The decision is seen as a blow to Tehran mayor Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, who was campaigning in a coalition with Velayati.
Velayati, who served as foreign minister from 1981-1997, is one of eight candidates.
He has vowed for better relations with the world and criticized Iran's current positions in talks with the West over its disputed nuclear program.

There was more than one Joe Gallo in Brooklyn. There was, of course Crazy Joe Gallo, and, there was just Joe Gallo. Not the same guy. Yet, he died the same way. A bullet. In this case a bullet to the back of the head, found leaning back in his Buick where a headrest might be found in today's cars. GM didn't offer headrests in those days—or seat belts. Everyone drove at their own risk, until too many people went through the windshield. It was a pre-Ralph Nader world.

I've been dating and sleeping with men under 35 for over 24 years. It all started after my divorce in 1984, which was followed by a two year stint with an "age appropriate" man. After leaving him, I subtracted the 25 years that I was married from my true age – 52 – and began dating guys under 35 exclusively.

In the storm's aftermath, under-resourced communities were exposed to the most risk of prolonged damage: low-income people who work low-wage and hourly jobs, residents of public housing, those who lack access to safety nets, and New Yorkers barred from public relief and other opportunities due to their citizenship status. Many communities remained without heat or power for more than a month after the storm hit. ss.

Food waste is a huge issue in America, especially in light of the growing divide between the profligate rich and the hungry poor. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Loss Project, we throw away more than 25 percent—some 25.9 million tons—of all the food we produce for domestic sale and consumption. A 2004 University of Arizona study pegs the figure at closer to 50 percent, finding that Americans squander some $43 billion annually on wasted food.

The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to uniquely identifiable objects and their virtual representations in an Internet-like structure. Radio-frequency identification (RFID) was seen as a prerequisite for the Internet of Things in the early days. If all objects and people in daily life were equipped with identifiers, they could be managed and inventoried by computers. Besides using RFID, the tagging of things may be achieved through such technologies as near field communication, barcodes, QR codes and digital watermarking. Today however, the term Internet of Things (commonly abbreviated as IoT) is used to denote advanced connectivity of devices, systems and services that goes beyond the traditional machine-to-machine (M2M) and covers a variety of protocols, domains and applications.
By definition, "The Internet of Things" is literally having every "thing" connected in a vast, gigantic network, consisting of three layers; the "Sensor" layer, the "Network" layer and the "Application" layer.
According to research firms, there will be nearly 26 billion devices on the Internet of Things by 2020, and more than 30 billion devices will be wirelessly connected to the Internet of Things, the Internet of Everything by 2020. A large majority of the technology experts and engaged Internet users agree with the notion that the Internet/Cloud of Things and embedded/wearable computing will have widespread and beneficial effects by 2025.
The image below (courtesy of Beecham Research M2M/IoT Sector Map: Link) shows the scale and scope of just how integrated and prevalent IoT can and will become and all the sectors it can influence. (All images courtesy of and ©Beecham research)
The Buildings sector is organized into Commercial/Institutional, covering shops and supermarkets, office buildings and government departments, and Industrial segments, covering buildings housing factory processes. Devices that can then be connected to deliver services to end users include HVAC, access control, lighting management, fire and safety systems and others that reside in buildings and facilities across both segments. These services are built to automate and react to environmental conditions.
The Energy sector is organized into three market segments:
The Consumer/Home sector is diverse and rapidly changing at present, organized into three market segments. This sector therefore covers everything from eReaders, Digital PhotoFrames, Games Consoles as well as Washers/Dryers and Home Alarms.
The Healthcare and Life Sciences sector includes applications such as telemedicine, asset management and supply chain optimization that address cost and treatment in hospitals/clinics, doctors' offices, nursing homes, and home health care including remote monitoring – for example of implanted heart pacemakers and for the elderly (clinical). Such applications empower patients and physicians alike to conduct better research and treatment options. This sector then also tracks Lab equipment, such as centrifuges, incubators, freezers and blood test equipment. It includes the following segments:
Industrial Sector
The Industrial sector covers industrial asset monitoring and tracking, involving discrete monitoring of assets or devices to ensure uptime performance, version control, and location analysis for a wide range of factory processes. These processes are segmented as follows:
The Transportation sector is divided into three key segments:
The Retail sector covers networking systems and devices that allow retailers to have increased visibility of the supply chain, gather consumer and product information, improve inventory control, reduce energy consumption, and track assets and security. It includes Point of Sale equipment, Vending machines (food/beverages, cigarettes, higher value products like CDs), Parking Meters, Service Equipment (petrol pumps, washers/driers, refrigeration, car cleaning), Entertainment (gaming machines, sound systems) and Signage/Display (billboards, displays) as well as RFID systems (item tagging, etc. It is divided into three key segments:
The Security/Public Safety sector is particularly broad and is divided into five segments:
This sector is divided into two main segments:
Interestingly the subject of IoT is currently focused on an evolution to Web of Things or WoT. Fundamentally, the Web of Things explores how objects and or devices that contain embedded devices are integrated into the Web. The Web of Things (or WoT) is a concept and plan to fully incorporate every-day physical objects into the World Wide Web by giving them an API, thus greatly facilitating the creation of their virtual profiles as well as their integration and reuse for various applications.
The Web of Things is primarily an evolution of the Internet of Things where the primary concern has been how to connect objects together at the network layer: similar to the way the Internet addressed the lower-level connectivity of computers (layers 3-4 of the OSI model), the Internet of Things is primarily focusing on using various technologies such as RFID, Zigbee, Bluetooth or 6LoWPAN.

Oil In 2013: Boom Or Bust?
"While there are other likely areas of interest for the oil market in 2013, in our view the main nexus for the transmission into oil prices is likely to be the Middle East, with the spiralling situations in Syria and Iraq layered in on top of the core issue of Iran's external relations," said Barclays in a report.
The institution confirmed that it is maintaining its 2013 Brent forecast of $125 per barrel — the same level it has predicted over the past 21 months.
WTI discount to Brent expected to fall
The US Energy Information Administration (EIA) predicts that Brent and WTI crude oil spot prices will average $104 per barrel and $88 per barrel, respectively, in 2013. The WTI discount to Brent crude oil, which averaged $23 per barrel in November 2012, is expected to fall to an average of $11 per barrel by the fourth quarter of 2013.The EIA notes that this forecast rests on the assumption that US real gross domestic product (GDP) will grow by 2.1 percent in 2012 and 1.8 percent in 2013. It is also dependent on world-oil-consumption-weighted real GDP growing by 2.7 percent in 2012 and 2.4 percent in 2013. Interestingly, the EIA also expects US domestic crude oil production to increase to 7.1 million barrels per day in 2013 — the highest annual average rate of production since 1992. Supply issues a main focus In comments to Forbes, Peter Kiernan, lead energy analyst for the Economist Intelligence Unit, said that even fast-growing emerging markets and non-Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) nations will experience poor economic performance in 2013. "We see an easing of oil prices [in 2013] as demand remains weak," he said, noting, "[still], the generally secular trend of new finds becoming more expensive to extract" could keep a floor under prices.

2. FUE/DHI (suture less ,no visible scar, faster healing , pain free and can shave your head in future )
FUE hair transplantation (stitch less) is the most advanced and least invasive hair transplant technique and usually 60 to 100 percent more costly than FUT worldwide. We exclusively practice FUE technique at all our centers at FUT prices.

If we meet up with aliens, will we be able to talk to each other? We can't even understand the language of some of the creatures that live right here on Earth with us.
Astronomer Guy Consolmagrio says, "[It's possible] we find an intelligent civilization and there's no way in creation we can communicate with them because they're so alien to us. We can't talk to dolphins now."
Scientists have long been studying how chimpanzees, whales, parrots and dolphins communicate. Now they've added dogs to the list. "For psychologists, dogs may be the new chimpanzees," says researcher Paul Bloom. "Dog owners often boast about the communicative and social abilities of their pets, and this study seems to vindicate them."
They've discovered a German Border Collie that can recognize and react to 200 words. Researcher Julia Fischer says, "This ability suggests that the brain structures that support this kind of learning are not unique to humans, and may have formed the evolutionary basis of some of the advanced language abilities of humans."
In New Scientist, Shaoni Bhattacharya quotes Fisher as saying, "With the evolution of language the constraints are not on the comprehension side?that had all been in place before humans uttered a word. The constraints are more on the production side." In other words, language may have evolved in several steps and some animals may possess all the prerequisites except vocal ability. Linguists think hand gestures came before verbal language. Fisher says, "Primates have fabulous control of their hands, but they don't gesture."
Scientists used to equate intelligence with language, but now they think a species can be considered intelligent yet be unable to communicate with others. Another problem is that we have 8,000 languages on Earth?so which one would be use to talk to aliens, assuming we met up with them?
One reason why our history is a mystery: Graham Phillips has uncovered the secret legacy of an ancient noble family and a trail of clues hidden in the English countryside that lead to a mysterious grotto, a forgotten attic, and the lost chalice of Mary Magdalene.

The NFL told club executives they could be schooled in the ins and outs of the new labor contract as early as Thursday, and the players' association summoned its leadership for a potential vote — the strongest signs yet the lockout might be nearing an end.

TAOS — Las Vegas Little League's 9-10 baseball team clobbered Clayton and Taos en route to a spot in Sunday's championship game this past week in the District 4 tournament.
Sunday's championship game concluded after this issue went to press.
The team began its run July 9, picking up a forfeit victory over Questa.
"Our boys were ready to play and upset they didn't get an opportunity to," said manager Nicholas Marrujo.
Las Vegas soon got its opportunity to play and made the most of it.

I've been off SP for a few weeks, just busy more than anything.
I'm gearing up for a very busy fall and thought it would be better to get back on the "horse" of tracking, journaling etc and set my goals NOW ...than to continue to procrastinate.
Boy, am I a procrastinator!
I'm a little overwhelmed by all I need to do and my mind sort of shuts off when I start to think about it at all...so - baby steps.
I need to plan for three workshops I am teaching.
Sept 5 - women-only dance retreat
Sept 20 - Local workshop
Sept 27 - Tacoma workshop
I need to have a routine down to perform at each event. This is anxiety producing because it is when people are really looking at you to teach elsewhere. I love teaching...and have a love/hate relationship with performing....mostly due to my weight.
We can blah blah blah about the sisterhood of dance and how we as women accept each other....and that IS true to some extent...but as an obese bellydancer, I can tell you that's not always the case - and there are those that believe if you are severely overweight you should not perform.
If I waited till I lost weight, I wouldn't be dancing now would I? But it brings up a lot of junk for me. so I procrastinate....and then panic. Trying to get out of that mode!!
I haven't stepped on the scales since early june. I'm afraid to. Tomorrow a.m. I'm just doing it - just so I can get a baseline of where I am again.
Blather blather blather. I'm back! :)
Jodie's mammogram showed a benign fluid-filled cyst - nothing to worry about. Huge, Huge relief to say the least. Thanks for those good thoughts folks, they matter.
I should be happy as a lark today all things considered, but I seem to be in an introspective funk. My food has been so-so....my exercise has been okay.
Why isn't that good enough for me? Why does it have to be perfect or it "doesn't count"? That's ridiculous! But I find myself going there too much. I've moved my body and broken a good sweat two days in a row for decent amounts of time. Why do I so easily dismiss my efforts unless they are over-the-top excessive? I'm telling you...twisted thinking.
Note to self: Allow what you accomplish to be enough.
Today is Jodie's mammogram. She found a lump in her breast a few weeks ago. In the typical slow pace of the medical world - she was able to get an appointment a week later. After determining that yes, it should be looked at further, a mammogram was scheduled almost two weeks later. Depending on the results of the mammogram, a biopsy will or will not be scheduled - probably in a couple of weeks.
Hurry up and wait while our anxiety over it climbs to the moon.
I will not eat over this. I will not drown my stress and worry in sugar. I will let it serve as a reminder that life is very short and the bodies we have, fragile.
I finally crawled back onto the elliptical last night - 10 minutes. But during that 10 minutes, I RAN.
I have never been a runner - hated it as a kid, certainly couldn't do it as an obese adult - too painful, too humiliating.
It is a start. That all important start. I can do 10 minutes. I feel better this a.m., including feeling like I stepped up to the plate. It's pretty exhausting to constantly avoid the stuff you know you need to be doing it. Again, "just do it" rings in my ears. Why do I put it off sooooooo much?
I got the BL sculpting DVD from Netflix and I watched the inspirational stories part last night...and one woman was talking about her kids only know her as an obese woman. That hit me pretty hard. Mike is 12, and in the last 10 years, I've put on 100 pounds. He only knows me as obese.
That's pretty painful when I think about it. So I crawled up on that machine last night. I'm slammed today with work, a private student, then a troupe rehersal...but tomorrow, I am off. It is the 4th of July - and what better day to plot my independance from this obese body than the 4th of July? I plan on taking myself out of the house where I can be alone with my journal and write it out - my plan, my goals, all that. Just me and the paper, where I can't allow myself to be conveiniently distracted and not finish it.
Here's to my Independance.
makes you crabby as h*ll. Er...something like that.
This last month or so....one thing after another, and they haven't been small things either. Yesterday, I was sooooo done.
I went home and I did...nothing. Well, I cooked dinner, but that was it. I didn't work on dance stuff, I cancelled the student I had scheduled, I didn't even exercise or feel guilty about not exercising and after dinner I said to the kids I love you, and I need some time alone and I went to my room. I read and I went to sleep early.
And today, I feel a little better. A little more together. A little more resilient. While I know exercise is really helpful to my stress level, I also just knew I needed a night off from everything.
It was a good start. I am also keeping a log for the next week on how I spend my time and I'm going to look at it and see where my time really does go. That should be pretty interresting in itself.

Striking Resemblance: Drew Brees, President Hayes
Listen to the Story
A listener to sports radio station WWL noticed an uncanny resemblance. New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees is the spitting image of the late U.S. President Rutherford B. Hayes. That is, long before the 19th president grew that long grey beard.

Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne. A listener of sports radio station WWL noticed an uncanny resemblance. Saints quarterback Drew Brees is the spitting image of the 19th president of the United States, Rutherford B. Hayes - that is, long before he grew that long, gray beard. Who knew Hayes was handsome? The station wrote a note to his presidential center, which did see the likeness, but thought the young Rutherford B. Hayes looked a lot more like Daniel Day-Lewis. It's MORNING EDITION.

December 20, 2014
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) -- Tennessee Temple University has put most of its Highland Park campus in Chattanooga up for sale as leaders explore the possibility of moving.
The Chattanooga Times Free Press (http://bit.ly/1eoDpWy) reports university President Dr. Steve Echols told students on Tuesday that the property was being listed. The asking price is $19.6 million.
Echols said there has been "strong support" for an idea of moving the school to the 170-acre campus of Woodland Park Baptist Church in Tyner, so leaders decided to put the 21-acre campus on the market to see what kind of offers it might get.
Echols said Tennessee Temple University won't be moving soon. Even if the property is purchased, he says the school would lease it back until a final agreement is reached on a new campus.
