Cycling Carbs Discussion Thread
Hello everyone. I was wondering if some in the community that enjoy weight training / bodybuilding would be interested in a thread that discusses different topics relating to cycling carbs to attain low bodyfat levels? I have been very successful getting my weight down to my current level following the traditional LC approach, and love this forum and community. My problem is, I have been stalled at my current weight for awhile now, and the traditional approach is making me have to cut my fat down as well to lower my body fat level.
I have been experimenting with higher-feed carb days over the past year or so, and it definitely seemed to help, but I wasn't following a proven program, or tracking it very well. A few weeks ago, a member of the forum steered me to a couple of books that deal will CKD (Cyclical Ketogenic Diet) type programs. I really feel I'm on to something here!
Obviously this type of program is not for everyone. Members who have certain health issues, are still quite overweight, or have issues with binging would not find this idea very attractive. I think for some, especially us that exercise regularly, or want to take body fat levels lower than the norm, should have a thread here to explore ideas and discuss the topic. I know I'm very interested in learning more, and talking to others who have tried it, or are doing it.
I've done a lot of research the last couple weeks, and I am currently on a plan at the moment...with awesome results. I have been able to finally break a long plateau, and it has been easy for a few reasons. I hope a few of you will want to jump in on this, because I dread the thought of having to join in on discussions with 20-somethings on hardcore bodybuilding forums hopped up on anabolics :stars: God forbid if you ask a newby question on one of those sites thats already been answered in the last ten years :doh: Anyone already following a CKD-type eating plan out there??
This is a good idea for a thread. I am pretty serious carb addict, at least I was, so carb cycling might be a bit dangerous for me. But for people who's bodies seem to react normally to carbs, carb cycling definitely has its advantages. Are you just going from LC to carb cycling to see how it affects your body composition? Is the that your goal?
Hi Punkin. Glad someone else is interested in this topic. I started really looking into it when my weight got down to about 175. I seemed to stall out, and found it hard to lose anything. I'd go up 3, down 2 up 4, down 5, etc. I looked into Stillmans last summer because I figured I needed to cut down my fat to reduce my overall calories. The problem is, for us people that tend to be overweight if we eat normally, we have to reduce our calories to rediculously low levels to get much below 15% body fat. Then we encounter the problem of the body slowing down because it wants to hold on to the fat. My new goal is to try to get my body fat down to close to 10% if possible.
I've been reading a lot of material from Lyle McDonald lately, and he claims it's difficult to hold on to muscle the lower you go, especially without drugs. It seems the only way to trick the body is to combine LC days with short periods of moderate to high carb refeed days. If it's combined with the proper training, it works well. It sounds like a more workable plan for the long haul. I hear what you're saying about being a bit dangerous once carbs are added if one is addicted to them in the first place. My personal feeling is that I just overate them, not knowing what they were doing to me, but now I know a little more about how all this works, and I think this may be the secret to long-term success.
Wanting to test this method, I purchased one of Lyle's books recently and followed his advice as perfectly as I could. I basically followed a low fat / low carb diet from Monday evening to Friday afternoon with a couple of muscle glycogen depleting workouts during that time. After a Friday evening workout, I immediately started a carb-up that lasted until Saturday night midnight (about 30 hours total). During that time, I ate a little over 800 GRAMS of carbs along with ample protein, but still low fat. Sunday and half of Monday are a little under maintenence calories, tapering down on carbs to start over again on Tuesday morning with LC again. I weighed myself on Friday mornings both weeks (after the "diet" days) I was amazed to see that I had lost 1.5 lbs.
The amount of food I ate during the re-feed was quite amazing. I ate 6 bagels made into chicken burgers, one pound of pasta mixed with a pound of lean ground chicken and a can of spaghetti sauce, and one cup (dry) of Jasmine rice. Low GI carbs are preferable during the re-feeds because too much fiber involved would make it impossible to eat that amount for most people. Obviously this amount is overkill if the weight training protocol isn't followed correctly, but it shows me that we don't have to suffer muscle loss and near starvation to get to the lower body fat levels. Psychologically, it gives you something to look forward to every week, which suggests this WOE may be better for some that are constantly falling off the LC wagon.
I'd be interested to hear any success or failures you've had with with CKD's in the past. I plan on reading more about this, especially how these diets work without weight training. Most of the info out there is on bodybuilders prepping for a show. By the way, I haven't done any cardio so far. I'm on my third week, and down 3 pounds. Muscle quality is MUCH improved, (hardness and fullness). They seem to respond very well to the re-feeds. On just LC's, my muscles always felt soft, and I completely stopped adding lean mass.
Gladee88er - I always look foward to your posts because you seem to have a great deal of knowledge and understanding about nutrition. I will follow this thread to further enhance my knowledge. I am on the lc woe of eating and I have done some experimentation with my body and how it reacts to hc foods. I have found some foods that I feel bloated and swollen with, one of them being rice. After I have lost some of the weight that I want to I would like to try carb cycling.
Thank you for the complement h82bl8 (oh...hate to be late...that's clever). I thought I had this all figured out until a few years ago I started gaining weight. I have always been interested in nutrition. This forum and Atkins really opened my eyes about a few things. LC'ing has been a great way for me to get back on track again. but the more I learn, the more I think this can be tweaked to have the best of both worlds.
I have never felt great eating all the fat, but I know it was necessary to supply the energy I needed the past couple years getting the weight off. Personally I have always done ok with carbs, but tended to WAY overeat on my portions. I didn't realize how little food it takes to actually add up to 2000 calories in a day until I started really tracking my portions. I could easily eat a pound of chicken and a big pile of rice for dinner back in my younger days. That tends to catch up to most people as we get older :mad:
I still feel going all-out LC is the best and quickest way to shed a lot of unwanted fat, but as I said in my earlier post, as we get closer to our personal "ideal" weight, it gets harder to lose more or maintain. I can understand if eating carbs sends someone on a month-long binge, but that's not the case for me, and I don't think I'm all that unique in that regard.
My plan is to experiment with different carb cycles, and varying exercise protocols to see how my body reacts to different scenarios. That way, I may be able to help people in the future that might want to experiment with these types of carb cycling. Plus I love being able to stuff myself once in awhile, and not feel like I'm losing ground. The last 3 weeks have given me hope that I will be able to eat enough to gain plenty more solid muscle, and still stay lean. My problem with LC'ing continuously is that it suppresses my appetite so much, I can't build enough lean mass to reach my goals. Upping carbs a little at a time is not good for me either, because I tend to overeat over time. I like a structured day or two a week I can go nuts and get all I want until the next time. Everyone is different, that's for sure.
Good luck hitting your first goal! I'm always here to help if you need any :)
Gladee88eer - I'm with you on the month long binge - eating carbs doesn't send me into long binges, but at that moment and throughout that one day I can eat every chip in sight. My problem is not sweets, it is salty crunchy stuff. I can eat a 1 pound bag of peanuts in the shell.
I noticed when I turned 50 that my gut started increasing in size, this compounded with the death my dad added alot of stress. I have tried and failed at lc hundreds of times. But now I'm on the quest to be healthy and rebuilding my metabolism after years of abusing it.
I know about Lyle's books but I haven't read any of them. I understand the theory behind his diets. I think if you're keto-adapted then the carb refeeds would be great, as long as you didn't have any form of metabolic syndrome. And it sounds like you don't, if they are working well for you. I haven't gotten much past the induction level of carbs of atkins and it has been almost two months for me. Where I am at I probably have to do strict LC for a few more months where I could even think of carb cycling. But I only have about 5lbs pounds of fat left to lose before that might become a reality. I just hope I can get there in time. I think I did too much damage to my metabolism by over-exercising. Volek and Phinney do suggest that some people can stay LC forever, and they describe a pathway for those people. So I'm not sure which direction I am going to go in yet. I am interested in your progress in carb cycling though, because for people who can do it, it seems to be the way to go, when you get down to really low levels of body fat.
I've done a lot of reading on carb cycling. It seems it is not really recommended for obese women (which I am) but I really like the idea behind it. I have had problems with stalls before and ALWAYS what helped was going off plan.
I admit I am not as strict as a lot of people on here are. I eat a carb meal 1-2 a month. I don't think I will ever stop doing that. You need a little leeway (IMHO) to keep things successful. Keeps me sane and I really do think it's better to shake things up a bit before your body gets used to your new diet.
all i can say to that is HOGWASH! i carb cycle, and it's working much better than simple calorie or carb counting. imho
I did try cycling carbs like i've read on weight lifting sites. i tried doing a few random carb up days (300+ carbs with 50 g fat), while generally consuming 50-100 carbs on ordinary days. those carb up days made me physically ill, always followed by a monster headache. just not worth it to me, but i did see losses with that option.
Hi All, I was directed to come over here by Trilex, since I'm interested in trying to basically gain some muscle while losing just a small amount of fat. My scale number is fine - 112 lbs, and I really dont care about the number so much, but I have terrible strength level and thinned out muscles. So I'm going to try to do a cyclic ketogenic diet, and see how it goes...
So far today, I have had an egg white omelet with deli turkey meat and about 1/2 slice of american cheese... I was trying to keep the fat low, thinking I needed to do high protein, low fat.... but I guess that was wrong.
I'm going grocery shopping now, and not entirely sure what to get - I guess just really low carb stuff for now. I've been reading online about CKD stuff. But if anyone wants to point me in a good direction to read up on this, please do!
And yeah, I like the idea of being able to (responsibly) eat some carbs on the weekend! I think I'll wait until next weekend though, since I dont totally know what I'm doing right now!
Hi Strawberry, I was going to post this on your other thread but its closed. Hopefully Trillex will come on over and join the conversation since your questions are really good.
I hope people will come in and correct me if I am wrong. But I think the CKD diets because they involve a HC phase once a week, are good for people who have a normal metabolism and can handle high intakes of carbs. I read on another thread that people who cycle, switch their bodies from a catabolistic state (breakdown of fats) to an anabolic state (building of muscle) once a week. The anabolic state is induced by high carb intake, not high fat. Where as the catabolic state is induced by high fat, low carb. I am not sure about the protein but I think it has to be fairly high to avoid the breakdown of muscle tissue during the catabolic state.
This transition is not easy for someone who has metabolic issues though, so generally someone who is struggling with weight loss and diet issues (these would not be people who are into body building likely), would have trouble with a CKD diet. I read someone's story about being obese who is now into bodybuilding and he said that he used atkins to get down to a normal weight, and then once he was able to fix his metabolism to the point where he could eat a "normal" amount of carbs, without losing his fat burning potential, he was able to do a CKD.
For some people it is possible to make that switch. It sounds like you don't really have issues with weight and diet, and you just want to change your body composition. You could probably just start a CKD diet then, it might work for you.
Correction to my above post. The carbs are kept above the level of NK so the catabolic state is induced by just lowering the carbs. The average calorie intake is below maintenance so some fat burning has to occur, but they are still mainly using glucose as fuel which is the reason the protein has to be high, to avoid muscle breakdown. Because you are in the anabolic state once a week, it isn't the most efficient way to lose weight (fat). However if you want to build muscle and your metabolism is normal, you will probably benefit from this approach. People that have damaged metabolisms would probably struggle because of the high intake of carbs. That's what I am guessing.
I have never been obese, I'm not diabetic, and I am not prone to binges.... so I think it might work ok for me. (Lets hope!)
I made a bunch of oopsie rolls last night, so I can have some "sandwiches" this week... I figured that would help keep my carbs low. My main problem will probably be that I really like vegetables, I can devour huge salads, veggie loaded soups, that are all "good carbs", but they do have a lot of carbs in them, despite being pretty low in calories. I also like fruit and pretty much considered that a "free food" since it was good carbs and (obviously that will have to change for a while). I have problems balancing - if I eat a lot of veggies, I have a lot of carbs even if my calories are low.... if I eat a lot of fat, I end up with too many calories!
I did Jillian Michaels abs video yesterday... I could barely make it through... embarassing. And today my thighs are killing me - ironically my abs feel fine. It was those squats and lunges!
Glade and others, I'm a carb cycling veteran, I guess you could say. (Have I earned the right to say that?)
I first began carb cycling when with the CKD/TKD approach of a very dear and wise friend who held my hand and broadened my knowledge base signficantly through trial and error. He was very experiened in these matters, and he helped to totally rock my world with the combo of weight training, low carb, refeeds, and carb rotations.
Fast-forwarding this story, I ended up competing for my first time ever in a master's figure body building competition and my entire 12 week prep incorporated carb cycling, more so the last 6 weeks as my body fat levels dropped significantly.
Combining carb rotations with consistent and progressive weight training and cardio can truly help you bust through fat loss plateaus. I"ve read a lot of Lyle's stuff too, and it was very helpful as well.
I kept a weight loss journal of my first experience with carb cycling, and you can find it here, beginning around Page 14:
My journey with the competition is found in the second part of my journal, ironically ALSO on Page 14:
Keep up the good work. I'm not on LCF as often these days, but I try to stop in now and then. When I do, I'll try to look this thread up and catch up on everyone's progress, since it is definitely of interest to me as well.
Twyla- you are an inspiration! I've read most of your journal here and all of your "keeping it lit" ! :notwrthy::notwrthy:
Fellow posters - Twyla has a wealth of information, I strongly advise that if you want to do carb cycling and are not familiar with it, please read her journals.
On my normal days (well, I mean not a carb up day)... my diet should basically look like Atkins Induction, right?
I think Lyle McDonald goes into this more in his book (not done reading yet) with exactly how much fat and protein to eat each day, based on weight/height. I was looking at Twyla's journal and menus (very inspirational!) But she has way more muscle than me and was working out with a lot more weight than I can handle at this point (And I'm sore as heck right now.. it hurts to move ANYTHING!....after my weakling workouts). I think I'm going to have to be a lot lower on calories than she was to lean out at all.
Page 14 is the lucky number! LOL!
Hi All,
I posted this in a carb-cycling thread in the Main Lobby, and thought it might be useful here as well:
Just to clarify the nomenclature with respect to diets that deliberately vary carb intake, carb cycling, cyclical ketogenic diet (CKD), and targeted ketogenic diet (TKD) are three different approaches, notwithstanding that people tend to collectively label them as carb cycling.Regards,
Thanks Stack. Very :goodpost:!! I'm glad you posted your adventures with the CK plan and how hard it can be for us overfat people. I have tried it once or twice - but never with the "clean" carbs as suggested. I didn't go the sweet route, mine was the chip, salty, crunchy route that ended up in a bog bag of Taco flavored Doritos with lots of guilt spread throughout.
WOW... this gets more and more confusing! Thank you for the information thought Stack... I was not aware of the differences.
Stack, could I ask you what you would recommend for a 112 lb female, who is basically "skinny fat"... looks slim/average, but lacking in muscle tone and strength (since I basically have not done any exercise in the past 3 years). I've never been obese. I can follow a diet pretty strictly if I'm told what to do, and I dont have problems with binging. If a "carb up" for me just means having a sweet potato every 2 weeks on top of Atkins induction, I'm fine with that. I just want to build some muscle, and lose a little of the fat. One of my big motivators is that I HATE the fact that when I eat something, my stomach pouches out. I'm thin enough, that you can see the rectus muscle lines on the sides, but the rest of the abdominal muscles are so thin that they hold in NOTHING (and I've never been pregnant or seriously overweight, so its not like I can blame that!) sighhhh...
Strawberry, to offer a bit of advice from my personal experience, considering you have not exercised in 3 years, that is what you need to focus on, adapting your body to exercise slowly, particularly strength training. Cardio more for endurance, since you dont mention you are concerned about fat loss. Too much cardio will waste precious muscle anyway, and esp if you are trying to BUILD muscle at this point. I would shoot for 3-4 days of strength training per week, progressive resistance.

If you are comfortable with low carb, there is no need to do carb rotations at this point in your case in terms of fat loss which is usually why people do carb rotations to begin with. They usu have fat to lose and are either trying to build muscle or maintain the muscle they have. If you are trying to build muscle, you will get better results (IMO) if you incorporate timed carbs into your weekly diet, adding them on days that you strength train, both before and after your workout. I would shoot for 75-100 carbs to start with on your training days, and up that amount if you feel it necessary. If you stick with clean carbs not junk, and definitely not sugar you will not gain fat from the carbs and it will go straight to the muscle and assist in strength and growth of the muscle, aiding in the energy/recovery for your workouts as well. Stick to clean complex carbs oats, sweet potato, brown rice, for example. Avoid high fat, processed carbs.
One of my big motivators is that I HATE the fact that when I eat something, my stomach pouches out. I'm thin enough, that you can see the rectus muscle lines on the sides, but the rest of the abdominal muscles are so thin that they hold in NOTHING (and I've never been pregnant or seriously overweight, so its not like I can blame that!) sighhhh..
Water retention is completely normal for everyone for various reasons, and esp women. You can expect to see some temporary water retention and fluctuations from the food you eat, particularly if you are not drinking sufficient water and/or you eat foods high in sodium. Drinking extra water should help to flush out the bloating you may experience, and particularly when eating targeted amounts of complex carbs around your strength training workouts. Those carbs should not affect weight gain or fat gain.
And lastly, CKD/TKD and most of the more common methods of carb rotations are usually implemented by people who are close to their goal weight (within 10-15 lbs), have stubborn fat to lose, and are willing to incorporate regular and consistent weight lifting into their plan with a diet of strategic amounts of clean, complex carbs, keeping fat at 20-30% on the days they eat carbs, protein high on all days to spare/build muscle.
Hope this helps.

h82bl8 - Thank you for the kudos.
Thank you very much, Twyla... that helps a lot. I'll try a little bit of good carbs with the weight days.
The part about "slowly" adapting my body is particularly comforting, because I was so impossibly sore yesterday, I did a few leg weights, and had to stop :-( I tend to go after things with a ton of enthusiasm, and felt like a loser yesterday. I have literally no endurance.
gladee88er I havent had the need to do LC during the week (ever really ). I've kept carbs in my plan ea day. sometimes higher on training days and less on non. When things slow down I have refeeds once a week. Depending it can be a few hrs to a full day.

- A bit noisy
Great hotel in beautiful location in this fantastic city.Excellent check in and loads of good restaurants in this area and bus station 5 minutes walk away
Ideal situated for sightseeing it's tapas bar was great for snacks and breakfast was ample with cooked meal available if required The staff were all very helpful and the room was spotless with a good view.
Wonderful location.
The bed was incredibly uncomfortable. I woke up with bruises on my arms and back from the springs! Really terrible.
Stayed here for 4 nights. Great location and super staff.
Location ,comfort , staff, food. Wifi was very good.
TV only 4 channel in Spanish only, but that was irrelevant .
Great location on edge of Santa Lucia district, easy walking to Cathedral, Alcazar, Plaza de Espana, Arab baths, tapas bars, restaurants, shops, flamenco etc. Lovely views of Murillo gardens. Hotel and room very clean. Staff very helpful. Basic continental breakfast. Public parking right under hotel, around 20 Euros per day.
Bedroom a bit shabby, needed decorating and furniture needed replacing (cigarette burns on furniture). Room was cold and heater didn't work - when we asked about this we were told it was only the Autumn season and not Winter yet so the heating wasn't on! We were given two more blankets instead. However, our friend's room was lovely and warm with a working heater...and so was the reception area.
Noisey some nights - bar furniture moved at night. No toilet brush! Some of curtain hooks hanging off, stiff catches on wooden shutters. No tea facilities (took own travel kettle), no English-speaking news channel.
The hotel was clean and in a great location
Although the bed was comfortable, we slept the night in the square because it was noisy with the cars cleaned the road.
Hotel is situated just on the edge of the old town and is just a walk away from all the sights, and close to lots of lovely restaurants and tapas bars.
The location of the Hotel was excellent. Easy walk to most of the sites in the city. The staff was friendly and helpful.
The room was a bit run down and the bed was not very comfortable. Towels were not changed every day. Breakfast was served at the restaurant across the street and all we were served was juice, coffee, and toast or a croissant. We could have had tomato or ham on the toast, but as vegetarians this was very limiting.
Large room with nice view of park, large bathroom, great location and great value for money. Far better than a lot of 3 star hotels I have stayed in!
Wifi was poor up in the room. Also we were woken and kept up for approx. 1 hour every night from noise from restaurant below packing up around 1am and from the street cleaner. (Admittedly we are not the heaviest of sleepers).
Hotel's location is very good. Staff is very helpful and nice. Room is clean,big enough and well decorated.
There isn't hair drier at the bathroom. The walls between the rooms are very thin you can hear your neighbours and the street is a bit noisy in the evening.
The location was wonderful! All the major sights were within walking distance and the hotel was surrounded by a great choice of places to eat and drink. Room was nice and clean sith a little balcony. Great value for the price we paid.
Would have oreferred a third- floor room but they were all booked. Room was a bit noisy at night and it was necessary to sleep with the French windows shut. A little fridge in the room would have been nice.
location in old town close to most points of interest. Good variety of restaurants and tapas bars.
Would have prefered to have eaten breakfast in hotel rather than outside.
Very good locations, staff on reception
Good location close to old town, cathedral and Alcazar. Helpful staff. Great views from roof terrace.
Plastic mattress covers.
Close to the city center. Cozy and comfortable room with small balcony. Free and fast wi-fi connection, convinient futon and pillow.
Breakfast at the nearest cafe was included. It was awful because of the 3 flies in every glass of orange juice, toastes were burnt. Girl at the reception was not welcoming. Bad smell in the bathroom. Nevertheless hotel itself was very nice, we would come back
Small, friendly atmosphere with very helpful staff, lovely twin room (on top floor) with spacious balcony and pleasant views of Murillo gardens. A few minutes walk through backstreets and alleys to tourist centre, or through Murillo Gardens Univ (formerly Cigarette Factory) and River. Quiet at night, comfortable beds . Good Spanish breakfast at restaurant next door set us up for the morning.
No complaints
The location was fine - lots of eateries and a park opposite, but a little bit of a walk to the main attractions through some very windy streets. Not a problem if you like exploring.
The front desk service people were a little disinterested, but that seems to be quite common in Spain.
Hotel excellent, near all the places of interest that we wanted to see.
Beautiful room! The best location I can think of in seville
Some very loud noise s while trying to sleep from the cafe like dragging tables lasted a while..also some very loud unexplainable noises in the night! !
Location. Size of room. Balcony.
A bit of noise from outside hotel during the night emptying dustbins
great location
no lift

The redoubtable Anthony Sacramone tells about how he was influenced–indeed, evangelized–by C. S. Lewis.
Mr. Sacramone had gone through through a Lutheran parochial school, learned the Catechism, was confirmed. But, like many young people, he left all of that behind as soon as he could. Christianity, he says, "seemed so small, constricting, even petty." He became an atheist, but in the course of researching a story idea, he stumbled upon Lewis, who "made Christianity bigger than anything I could imagine." Later, he came back to Lutheranism.
Read about this after the jump, and then I want to pose some questions. Christianity has mind-blowing teachings–the infinite God becoming a man, then taking the evil of the world into Himself and resolving it by dying and rising again and offering free forgiveness and everlasting life–so how in the world is it possible to make them seem dull? I mean, I can see why someone might not believe it, but how can Christianity be so poorly presented that it seems "small, constricting, even petty"? And yet somehow that's the way it comes across to many people, especially young people brought up in the church. This is surely a communication fail of the highest magnitude. [Read more...]

Songs "Hold On," "Invisible" and "Back Together" have all been unveiled — but now, in anticipation of the EP's July 29 release, I'm really really stoked to have Idolator premiere the A&R track "Ralph Macchio."
Annie says that the song was inspired by her experiences watching the titular child star on fuzzy VHS tapes in the '80s: "I definitely had a crush on him," she told Vice's Noisey blog earlier this year. "I'm going to try to send it to him somehow and hope he's going to smile and have a good day while he's listening to it." It's hard to imagine how he wouldn't: The song is a gem, video game bleeps and velvety vocals. To have Annie deliver your name in her frosty coo — we should all be so lucky.
Listen below.

Document - USA (Texas): Mental disability claim as execution imminent: Marvin Wilson
UA: 227/12 Index: AMR 51/071/2012 USA Date: 1 August 2012
Mental disability claim as execution imminent �A 54-year-old African American man, Marvin Wilson, is due to be executed in Texas on 7 August for a murder committed in 1992. A clinical neuropsychologist has concluded that he has an intellectual disability that would render his execution unconstitutional.
On 4 November 1992, Marvin Wilson was arrested, and then released on bail, for possession of cocaine. Six days later the body of Jerry Williams, a police informant whose information had led to the arrest, was found in Beaumont, Texas. He had been shot. Marvin Wilson was charged with murder, convicted, and sentenced to death in 1994. In 1997, his conviction was overturned by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals (TCCA) due to improper arguments to the jury by the prosecutor. He was retried in 1998 and again convicted and sentenced to death. His precise role in the murder and the reliability of the evidence used against him remain under challenge by his current lawyers.
In 2002, the US Supreme Court, in Atkins v. Virginia, outlawed the execution of people with "mental retardation" under the Constitution's ban on "cruel and unusual punishments". The Court did not define retardation, although it pointed to definitions used by the American Psychiatric Association and the American Association of Mental Retardation (AAMR, now the American Association of Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, AAIDD). Under such definitions, mental retardation is a disability, manifested before the age of 18, characterized by significantly sub-average intellectual functioning (generally indicated by an IQ of less than 70) accompanied by limitations in two or more adaptive skill areas such as communication, self-care, work, and functioning in the community. The Court left it to the states as to how to comply with the ruling. Ten years later, the Texas legislature still has not enacted a law to comply with the ruling. In the absence of such legislation, in 2004 the TCCA issued temporary guidelines.
In 2003, Marvin Wilson's lawyers challenged his death sentence under Atkins. In 2004, a court-appointed neuropsychologist with 22 years of clinical experience concluded that Wilson had mental retardation. He personally conducted nine different tests of varying sorts and reviewed existing materials and records. He noted that over the years, Marvin Wilson's IQ had been assessed between 61 and 75, the lowest being that most recently conducted, under a test widely considered to be the most accurate. Marvin Wilson had been in special education classes throughout his schooling as a child and the expert found that as an adult his language development was "well within the impaired range", his reading comprehension was "very limited", and his conceptual and practical skills were substantially impaired. The state has presented no expert testimony to rebut this evidence, but the state courts rejected the Atkins claim under the TCCA guidelines and the federal courts have upheld this denial.
Please write immediately, in English or your own language, citing Marvin Wilson's Inmate No. #999098:
Explaining that you are not seeking to excuse the murder of Jerry Williams or downplay the suffering caused;
Noting the evidence of Marvin Wilson's intellectual disability, which an expert has concluded constitutes mental retardation, not rebutted by any expert evidence presented by the state;
Noting that a decade after the Atkins v. Virginia ruling, Texas still has not passed a law to comply with it;
Opposing the execution of Marvin Wilson and calling for his death sentence to be commuted.

Mental disability claim as execution imminent
ADditional Information
A Texas trial-level court rejected Marvin Wilson's Atkins claim in November 2004. The TCCA and the federal courts upheld this decision, despite the fact that the state had not presented any expert testimony to rebut the defence expert's conclusion that Marvin Wilson met the criteria for a diagnosis of mild mental retardation. The state court addressed the question of adaptive deficits and the question of onset of mental retardation before the age of 18 in a single paragraph. Indeed it made no explicit findings about whether Marvin Wilson had significant limitations in adaptive functioning. Instead, it made findings under the 2004 "temporary" guidelines drawn up the TCCA in the absence of guidance from the Texas legislature [known as the "Briseño" factors as they were developed in the case of death row inmate José Briseño]. Thus, for example, the state court found that there was no evidence that Marvin Wilson was a follower, that he was capable of lying when he felt it in his best interest, that the crime had displayed deliberate forethought and planning, and that there was no evidence that anyone had considered or diagnosed him as having mental retardation before the age of 18.
In 2011, the US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit noted that "other factfinders might reach a different conclusion as to whether Wilson is mentally retarded on the evidence" before the state court. However, the Fifth Circuit ruled that under the deferential standards that federal courts are required to give state court rulings under US law, Marvin Wilson had failed to overcome the "presumption of correctness" attached to the state court's decision. Wilson's lawyers are currently seeking review by the US Supreme Court, including on the question of whether Texas – and the Fifth Circuit as the federal court overseeing capital cases out of Texas – have become "extreme outliers" in providing deficient protection under Atkins as a result of relying on the "Briseño factors". In their brief to the Court, they argue: "Texas courts and the Fifth Circuit are…allowing the execution to proceed, having concluded that Atkins does not apply to Mr Wilson because he does not satisfy the so-called 'Briseño' factors. The Briseño factors, which Texas courts use to conduct MR [mental retardation] inquiries, narrow the universe of offenders that Atkins protects by permitting execution of offenders with 'mild MR,' the condition for which Atkins originally announced the Eighth Amendment exemption." The question for the Supreme Court, the brief asserts, is "whether Texas can evade Atkins and whether lower federal courts must enforce it."
The lawyers are also continuing to challenge the reliability of Marvin Wilson's conviction, and point to reasons that the US Supreme Court gave in Atkins for prohibiting the death penalty against offenders with mental retardation who it said had categorically less culpability because of their impairments (for example that such a disability can cause a person to be a poor witness on his own behalf, to make false confessions and so on). In their brief to the Supreme Court, the lawyers note that Marvin Wilson "received his sentence under precisely the circumstances that make the capital punishment of offenders with MR problematic: he was one of multiple perpetrators, the eyewitness identification of the primary assailant shifted over time, the more-sophisticated accomplice fingered Mr Wilson as the leader, and evidence of Mr Wilson's 'confession' came from the accomplice's wife."
Amnesty International opposes the death penalty unconditionally in all cases, regardless of questions of guilt or innocence, the crime, or the method used to kill the prisoner. Today, more than 140 countries are abolitionist in law or practice. In the USA there have been 1301 executions since executions resumed there in 1977. Texas accounts for 483 of these executions. There have been 24 executions in the USA so far in 2012, six of them in Texas.

Abu Dhabi to invite bids for new power plant by September
International companies to bid in 3-4 months; Mirfa plant to have 1500 MW power, 60 mgpd water
May 9, 2012 4:41 by kippreport
Abu Dhabi will invite bids for a new independent water and power project (IWPP), its ninth facility, by September s the emirate boosts capacity to meet rising demand, two sources said on Wednesday.
The emirate's top decision making body, the Abu Dhabi Executive Council, last month approved Abu Dhabi Water & Electricity Authority's (Adwea) plan to build a new IWPP at Mirfa, about 160 km along the coast from the United Arab Emirates' capital city.
"Advisors for the project will be appointed first and the process of prequalifying companies will start in about three to four months," a source at the state-owned utility told Reuters.
Power generation capacity at Mirfa will be at least 1500 MW and the desalination plant will produce about 60 million gallons per day. Mirfa has an existing plant that produces about 250 MW of power and 34 mgpd of water.
"The existing plants are likely to be removed because they are not reliable," said a second source. Both sources declined to be named as the information is not yet public.
Currently, Abu Dhabi produces some 9000-plus MW of power from its eight IWPPs, most of which is consumed within the emirate and about 22 percent exported to the northern emirates, according to latest Adwea statistics.
Abu Dhabi's peak electricity demand last year was 7683 MW, up 12 percent on the previous year. Demand is forecast to grow at 11.3 percent annually in Abu Dhabi up to 2015.
Abu Dhabi is also exploring other forms of energy including solar, wind and nuclear. The first nuclear power plant is scheduled to be operational in 2017.
Previously, firms including Japan's Marubeni, International Power, GDF-Suez have built power plants in Abu Dhabi.

2010 ended with a whimper with most studio execs facing an uncertain 2011, as the year closed with eight consecutive weekends of box office earning lower than its 2009 counterpart despite five major 3D releases goosing prices. Of course, 3D is a gimmick, but it's foolish to consider that each of those five films were relative underperformers due to disinterest in the format when even the most ardent fan must admit to subpar product. Of course, the industry is always looking for a scapegoat when the answer is clearly, "terrible movies are being made and should not be," so the disappearance of 3D (not likely) will happen before a sudden spike i...Read More »

First, we'll start you off with a warning: there are plenty of plot spoilers within, so if you haven't seen the movies on this list you might want to do yourself a favor and watch them first before having some key scenes, and in some cases even the ending, ruined for you.Read More »
Projects come and projects go. Actors and directors join or spearhead them and then sometimes they leave. Sometimes it's not personal, sometimes it's downright acrimonious. We're not crying over spilled milk or anything, but there were a handful of high profile films in 2010 that started one way, then headed in an entirely different direction. In some cases it was for the better, in some cases for the worse, in some cases it just doesn't make much difference to anyone, but as we were thinking of the bigger news items of 2010, we thought it would be fun to look back on the history of some of the films that finally made their way to the big scr...Read More »
Every once in awhile, we look at the numbers and hope, pray that the weekend is emblematic of an attitude amongst the public.

Long a personal pet project for Mark Wahlberg, "The Fighter" finally kicked into gear once David O.

I also decided to take latin as my language in high school. One time I was walking home from school and this kid I knew who was clearly high as **** jumped me with a switchblade and told me to give him my backpack and wallet. He was a lot bigger than me so he probably could have beat me up and taken my stuff if he wanted to. The thing was that I had an engagement ring for my girlfriend in my backpack that I had worked a long ass time to pay off. I put my hands together and closed my eyes and stated saying a prayer in latin. I spoke softly at first and then got louder and faster. I flexed real hard and after I felt my blood vessels burst I opened my eyes while I kept chanting louder and louder. The dude freaked out and ran off.

Hybrid anode quadruples the lifespan of lithium-sulfur batteries
Increasing the range of electric vehicles and improving the storage of renewable energy systems are two examples of the benefits offered by lithium-sulfur batteries. Though they can hold four times the energy per mass of the lithium-ion batteries used today, their considerably shorter lifespan has proven something of a roadblock. Researchers from the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) have now designed a lithium-sulfur battery with four times the longevity, bringing the technology that little bit closer to maturity.

Though the use of silicon in lithium-ion batteries promises a whole new world of energy storage, it also poses several problems to a battery's durability and overall performance. A new electrode design inspired by clusters of pomegranate seeds and developed by researchers at the Department of Energy's National Accelerator Laboratory (SLAC) and Stanford University, overcomes some of these obstacles, bringing lighter and more powerful batteries closer to reality.

How to get the most battery life from your Android device
If your Android device is powered on all of the time, you may well find that you run out of juice before the end of the day. Though batteries in such devices are getting more powerful, so are the features and apps that run on them. Since some of these features aren't needed all the time, they can be turned off until you need them. Here's a look at how to get more up time out of your battery by changing basic settings manually, and a look at a couple of battery saving apps. Read More
Batteries. We buy them at the store, use them up, and throw them away without much thought. In reality, however, batteries are remarkably complex electrochemical devices that are continually evolving. The latest example of this comes from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, where researchers have invented an advanced lithium/sulfur (Li/S) cell that offers a unique combination of energy storage, power, recharge speed, and survivability.

Review: TYLT Energi+ device-charging backpack
Not long ago, a backpack was a simple device, one made for carrying books, small personal items, and other stuff. Then, something changed, and backpacks started evolving.

One such model is the Energi+ Backpack from TYLT, which I've been using for the past couple of weeks. It's not the first backpack equipped with a battery, but is it the best? Read More

BUFFALO - Erie Community College leaders echoed the sentiments of Western New York veterans agencies and local political representatives to urge passage of H.R. 357: GI Bill Tuition Fairness Act of 2013—which calls on all colleges to charge in-state tuition for student vets, regardless of residency—at a press conference inside their City Campus first floor foyer on Monday, February 25th.
"Our returned and soon-to-return veterans demand and deserve our support," said ECC President Jack Quinn. "We'd like to see every possible effort made to enhance that support, and this bill certainly aids their cause."
The GI Bill Tuition Fairness Act was assigned to a congressional committee on January 23, 2013, and is currently under consideration before it continues on to the House or Senate. The bill also enjoys pledged support among local Congressional (Higgins, Collins) and Senate (Gillibrand, Schumer) leadership, and such support would help current student vets being crunched by SUNY's out-of-state tuition policies—which can require students to pay double the tuition of an in-state resident.
"We think this policy is just one more hurdle put in front of veterans who want to become students here at ECC," said Quinn. "It makes it more difficult financially and, as these students manage a variety of other life commitments, it complicates pursuit of their educational and professional goals."
ECC—which has been consistently recognized as a top military-friendly college by such national publications as Military Times EDGE Magazine, the NJCAA Review and Military Advanced Education Magazine—stand with regional political support, as well as with the endorsement of local veterans support agencies and ECC partners like Am Vets, the WNY Veterans Outreach Center, Compeer, WNY Veterans Housing, and Altamont Housing. ECC hopes that such a stand will strengthen their college community and, eventually, all of Western New York.
"What we'd like to see happen, why we're in support of this bill and the efforts of our federal representatives, is for veterans to be able to bring their spouses and their children here to Western New York, gain support for their education and be able to pay for it with their GI Bill in a sensible way," said Dan Frontera, assistant director of Veteran Affairs at ECC.
Lending its support to this bill is just another way ECC is working to better support Western New York's growing veteran population. Since the college currently hosts over 500 veteran students per semester across its three campuses—as well as over another 1,000 through its North Campus One-Stop Center—it stands as the region's top choice for returning servicemen and women, and has positioned itself to provide the best educational, retraining and counseling support for this sect of population. And, according to Quinn, ECC has no intention to retreat from this level of service.
"When veterans come home from serving their country, ECC intends to make it as easy as possible for these veterans to attend school and get restarted again, right here in Western New York."
Since 1946, Erie Community College has met the needs of a diverse student body while contributing to the economic vitality of Western New York. As a member of the state's SUNY system, the three-campus college provides flexible, affordable and accessible educational programs in an accommodating academic environment. Equipped with the knowledge of these programs, ECC's faculty, staff and students strive to enrich their host communities through skill, service and partnership.
