The original video has been deleted and is no longer available. School funding on the riseLANSING, Mich. (NEWSCHANNEL 3) Preschool funding is on the rise in Michigan, but some lawmakers say it's not enough to tackle the over-arching public education crisis. The surge in state preschool funding is reversing recessionary cuts in several states. Interestingly, funding seems to be increasing by greater numbers in Republican-led states, the ones that typically sway towards less spending and smaller government.Michigan saw a 65-million dollar hike in preschool funding just this past year.K through 12 spending is also on the rise under Governor Snyder. He believes teachers' pensions and benefits are in much better shape as well, but not everyone agrees. The Democratic State Board of Education President says financial support of public education in our state is actually in tatters. Gubernatorial candidate Mark Schauer has also argued that Governor Snyder is out of touch with the K-12 funding crisis in Michigan. Schauer claims if he's elected, he will restore per-pupil funding back to where it was before Snyder took office. Snyder blames some of the public education issues on stimulus money that has dried up. Democrats maintain he is not doing enough on the ground-level to help Michigan schools and ultimately the kids are the ones losing out.

In Mentor and Muse, a collection of twenty-nine insightful essays by some of today's leading poetic minds, editors Blas Falconer, Beth Martinelli, and Helena Mesa have brought together an illuminating anthology that draws upon both established and emerging poets to create a one-of-a-kind resource and unlock the secrets of writing and revising poetry.
Gathered here are numerous experts eager to share their wisdom with other writers. Each author examines in detail a particular poetic element, shedding new light on the endless possibilities of poetic forms. Addressed within are such topics as the fluid possibilities of imagery in poetry; the duality of myth and the personal, and the power of one to unlock the other; the surprising versatility of traditional poetic forms; and the pleasure of collaboration with other poets. Also explored in depth are the formative roles of cultural identity and expectations, and their effect on composition; advice on how to develop one's personal poetic style and approach; the importance of setting in reading and meaning; and the value of indirection in the lyric poem. Challenges to conventional concepts of beauty are examined through Shakespeare's sonnets, and the ghost of Longfellow is called upon to guide students through the rewards and roadblocks of writing popular poetry. Poetic persona is demystified through Newton's law of gravity, while the countless permutations of punctuation are revealed with analysis of e. e. cummings and W. S. Merwin.
The essays include the full text of the poems discussed, and detailed, relevant writing exercises that allow students the opportunity to directly implement the strategies they have learned. While many advanced topics such as authenticity, discordant music, and prosody are covered, this highly readable volume is as user-friendly as it is informative. Offering a variety of aesthetics and approaches to tackling the issues of composition, Mentor and Muse takes poets beyond the simple stages of poetic terms and strategies. These authors invite students to explore more advanced concepts, enabling them to draw on the traditions of the past while at the same time forging their own creative paths into the future.

I did a pecan porter awhile back that turned out quite nicely. Really need to get around to making it again. I took 200g of pecan halves, and crushed them up a bit. Not too fine, just a bit of time with a rolling pin. I then threw the pecan halves on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper (don't recall what the wisdom was with the wax paper, but there was SOME reason for it), and threw them in the oven for 20 minutes@275F. I'm not sure if this time was optimal, but at the very least I think the temperature was right. After that I threw them in at the start of the mash, and they did the job from there. I would highly recommend you use them in the mash as well, as I don't think using them at a later stage will be beneficial. Yes, they were oily (incredibly so when I took them out of the oven), and yes they killed the beer's head retention, but I consider it to be a worthwhile sacrifice. Honestly I don't think there's any saving it doing this kind of thing; pecans in particular can just be so damn oily. The flavour was nicely balanced, so if you want a strong nutty flavour I'd suggest you increase the amount you throw in, and if you want it more a background note decrease it. I'm going something similar with hazelnuts in a month or two; if this thread is still kicking I'll update it on how that went.
You can deaden the oilyness of nuts when roasting them by: 1 lining a large mixing bowl with a few layers of paper towels 2 covering bowl with lid (plate, whatever will keep the nuts from coming out) 3 then slowly toss the nuts inside (similar to when you toss wings in hot sauce) 4 pour the nuts out onto 1 layer of paper towels on a counter/cookie sheet and let sit for about 10 minutes. I've had to do this for a few cooking recipes, and it works well. Just throw away the towels, or if you use a very large amount of nuts.. you might be able to ring out somet of the oils to use elsewhere It works a lot better if you toss them multiple times during the roasting process, but also becomes very time consuming.
I might give this a try with the hazelnuts in the future. I have two concerns though: 1. How does this affect the flavour of the nuts? 2. Just how long would it take for this to actually be effective in preserving head retention? I mean, if people get nervous about a fraction of a drop of olive oil in a batch of beer, is this even a battle you can win?
You will still extract a good flavor from the nuts. It creates a subdued taste (I used it for sauces, and it kept the oil from separating in the final product) Which keeps the nuts from overpowering other flavors. Far as head retention, I don't know, honestly. I imagine it will still affect it, but less oil should affect less, right? I'm new to getting away from extract kits, so I can't offer any expertise to brewing with nuts, but It's the heat that will transfer flavors from the nuts, so based off of culinary experience, I agree you should put them in the mash and not a fermentation vessel.
Look for the Shiner Cheer clone thread under the Recipes/Ingredients forum. Within the first couple of responses, there is a description how to remove the oils from the pecans. Something with a saltwater soak and a vodka soak.
Beer is the center of everything. Everything revolves around beer. When you drink beer, everything revolves. Therefore beer is the center of everything. University of Waterloo EngineersPrimary/Secondary: N/ABottle: Belgian Battering Ram (Tripel), Assassyn (IIPA), I Am GRoot Beer
Make sure you wash them or it may end up being too salty. This goes for all kinds of nuts.
There is a recent (Oct 2012) BYO article about using nuts and seeds. Has good information about using and preparing nuts and a few recipes.http://www.byo.com/component/resourc...wing-gone-nuts There's also a blog article about about "fat washing". I haven't seen this information anyhere else.http://ryanbrews.blogspot.com/2011/1...ily-foods.html

Nice links, Bithead!
I have known people who used peanut butter powder and cocoa powder to make awesome peanut butter cup stouts. They were fantastic but since I usually make 25 gallon batches, I haven't made it myself. Not sure that I want 25 gallons of peanut butter cup stout after all.
Thanks for the info all! I was a little quick on the draw so it was too late to add them to the mash, but I toasted them and let them sit on a paper bag, them roasted them and let them cool. I tossed 1/2 a pound into the last 15 minutes of the boil, and a 1/2 pound into the primary. After reading what everyones advice was I probably should have toasted them a couple of times to get the oils out and then roasted them, and then added them to the mash so they would have a good long time in contact with the heat to get the flavor out. Im hoping since i put half in the last 15 of the boil and half in the primary I will get good flavor, but I'll just have to wait and see how it turns out. Will update when its finished!

"This recipe isn't bad but it's not fantastic either. I made it exactly as written and it really just seems like canned cream of chicken soup with potatoes in it. The bacon makes it better. I found the consistency was good for a chowder. The big selling point on this is that it's made in the crockpot."
"FANTASTIC!!!!! I've tried many, many recipes and have not found the perfect "sweet factor" until now. I almost didn't even want to eat the dinner I made to go with this -- I just wanted more cornbread!"
"What a great and simple recipe!!! Super easy and even better the next day!"
"I got RAVE reviews from everyone who tried this. It's quick, easy and delicious. The first time I made it I used the chicken, but you really can't tell it's there so the second and third times I left it out and didn't even notice it was gone!"
"Fantastic!!! A great, easy way to eat this super healthy food if you don't have a big sweet tooth. I was a little skeptical that 3 sweet potatoes would make 6 cups but I was astonished that they DID! I doubled the coating because I like more spice. These were great the first day and even better as leftovers!!!"
"FANTASTIC!!! I couldn't believe the stuff that came off of my produce!!!!"

Reminded of a quote from Charles Baxter — "'if you want a compelling story…put your protagonist among the damned" — Jabai Asim argues, in Bookforum's "Daily Review" that while Ferguson is intriguing as a historical moment, it's just as important to watch "the continuing battle of who gets to tell" the story.
...moreOn her blog today, respected critic Ruth Franklin wrote an open letter to the editors of Bookforum. She writes:
...moreI have considered opting out of writing for magazines at which women are not represented among the top editors, such as Bookforum.
Here is a map to help you visualize human migration over the course of our 200,000 year existence. Using data based on mitochondrial DNA difference, the map models migratory patterns as humans "moved outward from Africa into Asia, and later the Americas, Indonesia and Australia." The visual distinguishes between land and water or temporary land/ice bridges, while highlighting genetic populations and the extent of ice.
...moreBookforum's daily roundup of internet gems shone their literary spotlight on our poetry editor Brian Spears whose piece "The Death and Resurrection of BlazeVOX," we recently published. We wanted to reciprocate the love. So, here it is. We love you back, Bookforum!
...moreThe art world is a rough place, which is the practical thought behind art schools offering courses on grant-writing and portfolio building.
Still, even with the presence of these utilitarian courses, when embarking on your formative artistic education, how can you conceive of the difficulties ahead?
...more"The best seller is caught in a peculiar paradox: Its popularity can be understood as both proof and negation of its value."
The term "best seller," is in question. Bookforum has an essay on how the term is more of a hyperbolic designation with a shifting definition, than one that is clear-cut and quantifiable.
...moreJames Yeh writes on the Spontaneous Society for Faster Times, Jon Cotner's ambulatory, real-life interaction/art installation, inciting strangers to interact positively with one another.
The project was created in hopes of reigniting a certain kind of social spontaneity that is lost on all of us by way of headphones and fast-paced lifestyles.
...more"That it is being considered as book of criticism, rather than as memoir, seems the luck of the draw. Some of the essays in it were originally published in the guise of book reviews, but they always jump the rails of literary journalism and go off on their own course — assessing not just the text but its place in the constellation of her own interests and personal history, which are (respectively) various and knotty."
In light of all the back and forth about memoirs, I think this appraisal of Terry Castle's The Professor and Other Writings is pretty enlightening.
...more"It's a shaggy-dog tale, one that eventually—boldly—invites comparison to its great progenitor, Don Quixote. In cutting a classic wide swath, Pacazo exposes itself to risk, a tricky balance between hilarity and horror. By and large, though, this rangy novel earns its claim to the old knight's inheritance."
...more"But the question lingers: Apart from its questionable value as a marketing strategy, what is utopia good for?"
Paul La Farge at Bookforum on the concept and uses of utopia, with special mention of San Francisco and Burning Man.
...more"Lane's other invention, alongside the cheap, quality paperback, was the Penguincubator, first installed outside Henderson's (the 'Bomb Shop') at 66 Charing Cross Road, which signaled his intention to take the book beyond the library and the traditional bookstore, into railway stations, chain stores and onto the streets.
...more"It is the official art of authoritarian governments, aimed at extending state control through propaganda. Totalitarian kitsch exists to glorify the state, foster a personality cult surrounding the dictator and celebrate ceaseless and irrevocable social and economic progress through images of churning factories and happy, exultant workers."
I have long pondered the boundless evil of all things kitsch but now thanks to this article (via Bookforum) I have new reasons to fear it.
...moreTime Magazine has already called it "The Decade From Hell."
(Couldn't have been worse than the 1940's?! Could it? I mean the 40's had Hitler AND Stalin.)
And if you have survived the "aughts" reasonably intact as we caterwaul our way into 2010 with a health care package being vigorously stripped of all its progressive promises, an escalating war(s) and the seemingly insurmountable problems of mass poverty, financial instability and ecological meltdown, you might find yourself like me going head to head with an even heartier enemy: belief.
...moreGreetings! Your humble guest-editor Michael is back in the saddle for another round of negotiating the highly-addictive world of the book blogs. I had an interesting week, where I had time to contemplate my imminent move to Bernal Heights and whether I should apply to those blasted MFA's again and what it means that I can't seem to stop watching post-apocalyptic movies and reading depressingly dystopian fiction.
...moreAnyone who has ever been in a creative writing workshop knows the type of shame ordinarily suffered only by lifestyle submissives. And in the new Bookforum, Mark Grief, while reviewing Mark McGurl's The Program Era, plays with McGurl's idea that the shame inherent in academia has in fact helped define an entire era of literature.

ABC News' Rick Klein reports in Wednesday's Note:
ST. PAUL, Minn. —
The war over Gov. Sarah Palin's image is on. (And Team McCain can only hope that it's not already lost.)
What the McCain campaign realizes is that there are two Republican National Conventions now underway — one in St. Paul, and one back home.
In the first, inside the hall, they feel good about being Republicans again. The party's stars are cycling through (where was this Fred Thompson last year?), the nominee has delegates' (and — thanks, Joe Lieberman — one big Democrat's) blessing, and there's this new young partner who's got everyone buzzing.
But — as clear as that giant, high-definition American flag rippling behind the podium — none of that may matter over in that other convention that's playing out in the press reports that seep into American homes.
Certainly not if the running mate doesn't impress Wednesday (and probably not if the McCain-Palin operation can't control the media firestorm before she takes the stage).
Read the rest of The Note — and get all the latest on the 2008 election, Congress, the White House and the wide world of politics every day — from Rick Klein by bookmarking this link.
The broad issue this Wednesday: The campaign is perilously close to losing control of Palin's image — and thus the stakes are raised for a speech that was going to be the most closely watched of the convention anyway.
"Core conservatives are smitten with the 44-year-old governor, who opposes abortion in all cases, including rape and incest. And millions of dollars in donations have poured in," Peter Wallsten and Doyle McManus write in the Los Angeles Times "But Republican strategists don't know how she will play among moderate swing voters, including blue-collar Democrats, who have been moving toward Barack Obama but might like Palin's middle-class roots."
Said former Bush adviser Dan Bartlett: "There's no middle ground on this for John McCain. . . . She is either going to be a wild success or a spectacular failure."
"It's going to be a wild ride," former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, R-Ga., tells USA Today.
Here comes the pushback: Team McCain plays the gender card and the media-bias card with a full-on offensive — press conferences, surrogate TV and radio appearances (designed to demand fair treatment for Palin and her family), plus a new ad:
"The McCain campaign will launch a television ad directly comparing Governor Palin's executive experience as a governor who oversees 24,000 state employees, 14 statewide cabinet agencies and a 10 billion dollar budget to Barack Obama's experience as a one-term junior Senator from Illinois," a campaign aide tells The Note.

Jada Pinkett Smith will be the executive producer of rapper and friend, Queen Latifah's, upcoming day time talk show.
Jada, herself, shared the above photo of herself and Latifah on set via her Facebook page last Friday. She wrote,
Wearing my Executive Producer hat, standing beside the next daytime talk show superstar. Starting September 16, 2013, you will be able to kick it with Queen Latifah everyday.
We're gonna have fun
Back in October we told you Queen Latifah was coming back to day time television. It will be her second time around in the day time television circuit. Latifah had a previous talk show that ran for two years back in 1999. Although it had been on Fox, this time around, she'll join the CBS family.
Are you excited the re-installment of Latifah's talk show?

IAG Cargo attributes decreased revenue to 'market conditions'
IAG Cargo reported Friday commercial revenue of 1 billion euros (US$1.3 billion) in 2013, a decrease of 11.8 percent compared to 2012.
Volumes of 5.6 billion cargo tonne kilometers (CTKs) in 2013 represent a decrease of 7 percent year over year. Overall yield for the year decreased by 5.2 percent.
IAG Cargo said exchange rate fluctuations, notably the strengthening of the euro against other currencies, continue to have a significant effect on IAG Cargo revenues and yield. At constant exchange rates, the 2013 yield would be down 2.3 percent instead of 5.2 percent.
"Market conditions remain challenging due to the global expansion in air cargo capacity and weak demand," Steve Gunning, CEO of IAG Cargo, said. "We continue to focus on improving operational performance across our business, delivering a first-rate customer service and controlling costs. In these conditions, we ensure the yields we achieve at least cover our marginal costs. These costs include the fuel burn associated with the cargo in the belly-holds of our aircraft."

Presidential elections decide only who wins the White House and a congressional majority. They don't by themselves solve the nation's problems.
George W. Bush had a majority Republican Congress and did little with it. President Obama had a majority Democrat Congress during his first two years in office, but appeared to let ideology trump solutions, causing additional harm to the economy. Read More»
Had Vice President Joe Biden behaved toward Sarah Palin in their 2008 debate the way he behaved toward Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan in their debate last Thursday, he might have been denounced as a patronizing misogynist.

Mitt Romney's main advantage in his first debate with President Obama on Wednesday may be that the president will be speaking without a teleprompter. His second advantage is the president's record and how he has failed to fulfill many of his promises.
While the president will probably recycle his class warfare themes, Romney should focus on the president's domestic failures and on Republican initiatives that have worked in the past. We Americans didn't just crawl out of a cave. There is history. Read More»
In a speech resembling a TV re-run (the liberal website The Daily Beast called it "dull"), President Obama accepted his party's nomination for a second term. In doing so, he made the most ludicrous claim of this campaign, indeed, of his presidency: "You didn't elect me to tell you what you wanted to hear. You elected me to tell you the truth."
With this president, truth telling remains an unfulfilled promise. Telling Democrats what they want to hear was what the Charlotte convention was all about. Read More»
TAMPA, Fla. — This week when Mitt Romney strides to center stage to deliver his acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention, he might draw inspiration from an unlikely source: the song "I Am What I Am" from the musical "La Cage Aux Folles."
One of the chief complaints from voters about politicians is that they too often package themselves disingenuously to get elected, only to reveal their real agenda after they've won. Read More»
Last Thursday's Wall Street Journal editorial "Why Not Paul Ryan?" made the case for his selection as the Republican vice-presidential nominee in this statement: "Romney can win a big election over big issues. He'll lose a small one."
After Ryan's serious proposal to restructure Medicare — which virtually everyone knows must be reformed — the response from Democrats was an unserious TV ad, which showed a Ryan look-alike pushing an old woman in a wheelchair over a cliff. Read More»

By now the script should be familiar. A bombing or a mass shooting occurs and the media immediately look for a simple cause. Invariably, they turn to talk radio or some other conservative pit of "intolerance."
Within recent memory are tragedies like the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, the 1999 massacre at Columbine, the 2007 Virginia Tech shootings and the 2011 shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and others in Tucson. Read More»
Mitt Romney's speech to the NAACP convention in Houston was — according to one's political perspective — a "calculated move on his part to get booed ..." to help his white base (Rep. Nancy Pelosi), or a presentation to "independent thinking adult citizens" whom he treated as equals (Rush Limbaugh).
Having an adult conversation in a racially and politically polarized age is nearly impossible, especially when our current political culture does not require a solution to problems, only the use of rhetoric and symbols to gain political power. Read More»
When is a tax not a tax? When President Obama says it isn't, or when the Supreme Court says it is?
Obamacare was sold on several fraudulent lines. The president knows the country doesn't want to pay higher taxes, given the deplorable way their government spends the money. And so the administration packaged it as something different.
That's called bait and switch, which is defined as "an illegal tactic in which a seller advertises a product with the intention of persuading customers to purchase a more expensive product." Read More»

Fireworks pose serious safety risksJune 13, 2013 |
SPRINGFIELD Fireworks, which date back to as early as 200 B.C. in China, have long been used for a variety of celebratory reasons - from military victories to public gatherings to commemorate holidays like the Fourth of July and other special events. But, when you're playing with fire, and in this case, explosive gunpowder, there are bound to be injuries. That's why fireworks are illegal in many states, including Massachusetts, serving as a reminder as the Fourth of July approaches to leave fireworks in the hands of properly-trained professionals. "Those who illegally attempt to capture the excitement of Fourth of July community fireworks displays in their own backyard are risking serious injuries, especially to children," said Mandi Summers, co-coordinator, Safe Kids of Western Massachusetts, headquartered at Baystate Children's Hospital. "Fireworks are extremely dangerous, especially in the hands of youngsters or even adults who are not professionally trained in their use. Fireworks involve explosions, accelerants and projectiles, and they can result in serious burns and other devastating injuries, lifelong disabilities, and even death. What is so upsetting is that all of this is completely preventable," Dr. Ronald Gross, chief, Trauma and Emergency Surgery Services at Baystate Medical Center added. According to a study of fireworks conducted by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) in 2011 from June 17 to July 17, 65 percent of fireworks injuries in 2011 occurred during the month surrounding the Fourth of July. Also, 200 people on average go to the emergency room every day with fireworks-related injuries in the month around the Fourth of July holiday. Gross noted that traumatic amputation of the fingers or hands is a common result of a fireworks-related injury. Other injuries usually involve the eyes or head and can sometimes result in blinding or even death. More than half of fireworks-related injuries involve burns, which can be one of the most painful injuries a child can encounter. If for any reason a fireworks accident occurs, seek medical attention immediately, regardless of the severity of the injury. Do not rub or rinse out the eyes which can cause further damage. Pressure should be applied to control bleeding, but should be avoided on the area around the eye. Do not use any kind of aspirin or ibuprofen, which can cause blood thinning and potentially increase any bleeding that is present. Using ointments and medications are not recommended, as they can make the area around the eye slippery and interfere with the doctor's examination. "From purchase to ignition, know how you and your family can stay safe and which fireworks are allowed in your state if fireworks are part of your July 4th celebration," CPSC Chairman Inez Tenenbaum said. "Never assume that a fireworks device is safe based on its size and never allow young children to play with or light fireworks. By knowing the dangers of all types of fireworks, consumers can prevent tragedies." Summers added, "Remember, fireworks are illegal in Massachusetts and the safest and only approach to enjoying their beauty is to attend legally sanctioned public events, which are bigger and brighter than any backyard display ever could be."

Get your bypass operation on the IHS
By Alice O'Keeffee and Katharine Hibbert
By Alice O'Keeffee and Katharine Hibbert
by Alice O Keeffe and Katharine Hibbert Published
Health tourism once meant convalescing from tuberculosis at an Alpine sanatorium, or taking the waters at a French spa. Today, the ill travel to take advantage of cheaper private healthcare, innovative treatments, or to bypass ethical regulations. This is where they go:
France: La Louviere, Lille, specialises in cataract operations, knee and hip replacements. It caters for the British market, providing "single rooms with . . . English-language newspapers and a la carte menu in English". Typical meal: coquilles St Jacques, filet mignon and Provencal tomatoes. Costs: cataract operations - £1,000 at la Louviere and £2,000 for private treatment in the UK; hip replacement - £4,000 in France or £7,600 UK private; knee replacement - £3,000 at la Louviere or £8,500 UK private.
British cancer patients have travelled to France and spent up to £60,000 on treatment with the new drug Taxotere, not yet available in the UK. Other cancer treatments, including the new chemotherapy drugs Platinol and Herceptin, as well as more modern forms of radiotherapy, are widely available in northern Europe but not in the UK.
Germany: Munich International Airport medical centre offers "medical tourism packages", including accommodation and sightseeing as well as diagnosis, inpatient or outpatient surgery. Patients fly in, have tests or treatments at the airport, and fly home, sometimes in a single day. Specialisms include hand surgery, plastic surgery, endocrine surgery and minimally invasive surgery. Any non-emergency surgery "can be done in Germany at very significant cost savings", claims the specialist website www.euro-surgery.com.
Greece: Interbalkan European Medical Centre in ThessalonIki boasts that "the Doric simplicity, the soothing sound of water flowing gently from fountains and cascades . . . create an environment of tranquillity and optimism in this Temple of Health". Our DoH is considering sending up to 25,000 patients there for hip replacements and hernia and cataract operations.
Italy Clinics offer fertility treatments that UK watchdogs outlaw on ethical grounds. British women in their late fifties have travelled to Italy for IVF treatment with donated eggs and sperm. Couples have also sought treatment in Italy to select the sex of their child.
Cuba: provides treatments for more than 4,000 foreigners each year; they include eye operations, cosmetic surgery and drug rehabilitation. The Camilo Cienfuegos Centre has pioneered treatment for retinitis pigmentosa, a degenerative eye disease that can lead to blindness but for which no help is available in Britain; the 21-day plan costs £4,835. El Quinque in HolguIn treated Diego Maradona for his cocaine addiction: its course costs £3,118 per month, about a quarter the price of comparable treatment at the Priory in London. Doctors in Cuba earn less than $20 per month, whether treating foreigners or locals.
South Africa: Roughly five Britons each week arrive for medical care ranging from major heart and cancer operations to cosmetic surgery. Groote Schuur Hospital, where the world's first heart transplant was performed in 1967, has appointed a manager specifically to handle inquiries from the UK. "We would be able to assist the UK with addressing your waiting lists at a lower cost than you can provide," says the hospital's chief executive.
Egypt: John Guy, a 68-year old from Manchester, recently flew to Cairo for a hip replacement. It cost £3,000 less than he would have paid to have the operation done privately in the UK.
US: Cancer specialists offer innovative treatments not yet available in the UK. Prostate cancer patients, for example, have travelled there for prostate brachytherapy, which involves implanting radioactive "seeds" into the prostate. They may also travel to get the new drug Glivec, the only known cure for chronic myeloid leukaemia, effective in nine out of ten patients.

Never heard of the "Type III Muscle Fiber?"
Don't worry, I'll explain that in a moment and how some proven research supports the concept of developing a "Type III Super Fiber" to aid you in gaining muscle and losing fat at the same time.
I've learned a lot from those $120 University text books but when it comes to cutting edge training information they're often the last to get the "update".
To be honest with you, this isn't something you're going to be reading or hearing a lot about unless you're connected with some high level strength & conditioning coaches.
To save you from brushing the dust off your old physiology text books lets quickly review what we know about the different muscle fiber types.
1. To keep things simple there are two main types of muscle fibers. Type I and Type II which are composed of Type IIa and Type IIb.
Type I muscle fibers are slow-twitch which means they contract slowly making them great for endurance. These muscles are suited to aerobic activities like long distance running since they don't fatigue as easy.
Type II muscle fibers are fast-twitch. They contract quicker, but they get tired a lot faster. Sprinters and power athletes usually have a lot of type II muscle fibers.
2. Unfortunately, genetics determine exactly what types of fibers make up your muscle composition. You can't change the percentages you were born with….
….However what you can do is "reconfigure" muscle fibers to take on different characteristics, somewhat "tricking" your genetics. This is not an overnight procedure and focuses on specific training methods that selectively recruit both types of muscle fibers in the same workout or activity.
Introducing The Type III Muscle Fiber…
While in Orlando, Florida a few weeks ago I got to meet up with a couple strong man coaches, Elliott Hulse and Mike Westerdal who have been hiding away in their gym, perfecting this killer new training system they "accidentally" discovered.
Here's what they explained to me:
"By combining resistance weight training with cardio training in the same set, we force the thicker stronger Type-II (fast twitch) muscle fibers to behave more like Type-I (slow twitch) fibers.
By utilizing both types of muscle fibers in the same exercise we can actually build a "HYBRID" Type-IIC muscle fiber that has been nicknamed a Type-III."
Vince, can you translate what those guys told you?
Well let's think about this for a second. We know that Type 1 fibers have a higher mitochondrial density than type 2 thus they are more fuel efficient. Simply put, they burn fat for energy better than the type 2 fibers.
Type 2 fibers usually have a thicker diameter… they are bigger fibers. When they begin adopting the behavior of type 1 fibers by gradually increasing their mitochondrial density they ultimately become even BIGGER in size as well a better at burning fat for energy.
Look, a Type III muscle fiber is just a cool name for a hybrid type II muscle fiber that takes on traits of a type I. They're not claiming to have invented a new muscle or anything.
How Do You Develop A Type III Super Muscle That Is Bigger, Stronger And Better At Burning Fat?
Like I mentioned earlier it's going to take a particular training style. In fact this training mimics the way that our ancestors used to live. They didn't train with weights one day and run laps the next. No. The kinds of activities they did every day would have been very much like the kind of training that's ideal for developing this kind of hybrid muscle.
Our ancestors were both muscular and lean and it didn't result from things they set out intentionally to do but rather, it was a natural byproduct of the way they lived their lives.
They were able to both build muscle and burn fat at the same time without even having to consciously think about. By adopting some of the very same training principles that they employed, modern man can achieve the same results.
Tomorrow I'll share some sample workouts that will show you how to gain muscle and lose fat the same time by incorporating both aerobic and anaerobic activity not just in the same training session but in the same exercise.
You're probably wondering what kinds of exercises I'm going to share. Think about ancient warrior cultures. Things like walking long distances with heavy armor, or rowing big ships, or even swinging large weapons.
How does this possibly relate to our modern day workouts? Trust me there are some exercises you can do at a regular gym or at home that will really tap into all your muscle fibers at the same time. What's the result? These exercises don't require any special equipment and the result is a fast workout that burns fat and builds muscle. Stay tuned.
Please let me know if you have questions on this Type III muscle fiber and I'll answer them through the day.
P.S. If you're looking for an alternate way to gain muscle and lose fat meaning that you would prefer to chase both goals at the same time then have a serious look at their new Lean Hybrid Muscle system.
It's not available to the general public until the 15th, but they gave me an early link to share with you because I got all the hook ups

I love the look of those laminate stocks.
Dead Bears, the only good kind.
Right after I got the gun I was looking around at stocks for it since the factory one wasn't the best fit for me. I found Boyd's and fell in love with them. I was thinking about going with the thumbhole stock, but I know too many lefties that might want to shoot it. Plus it kind of prefer the traditional style. Hoping to get to the range soon to punch some paper and see what it does. Hoping to hit golf balls at 100 yards cconsistenty with it.
How do you like the Boyd's laminated stock? I was considering getting a basic Marlin 60 with plastic stock then upgrade it with Tech-Sights and a nice stock.
I love it. It fits and feels great compared to the factory one. It does require fitting it to the tube magazine. The sling studs were too long so I had to cut some of the threads off to keep it from hitting. If you have a router, it's really easy to trim for the tube, I used a dremel with a router bit. It worked but isn't the prettiest. But you can only see it if you're looking down the barrel. I'd buy one again in a heartbeat. Even considered upgrading my Ruger M77.
Hunter, Thanks for the info about the Boyd's stock. I do have the tools or skills to route a channel for the tube, so I'll look for another option.
Calico Specialist Marlin Specialist I'm not just Trigger Happy, I'm Trigger Ecstatic!!
The sling studs are bolted in place. They came with a nylock nut, but swapped it out for a lower profile nut. I will look into the style you mentioned if it gives me more clearance.
Here's what it looks like In stock, $3.80 at numrichhttp://www.gunpartscorp.com/catalog/Detail.aspx?pid=444430D&catid=10672
Thanks for the link. I will probably order. Just itching to get some trigger time on it. The gun looks so good I hate keeping it locked up out of sight. Might have to build a shelf to display it on.

Was there ever a solution found to this problem? Having the same issue.
- Ryan
I have the same problem where the footing parameter lists the bottom of footing elevation as "Varies" but when I take an annotative elevation of it, it at leasts reports the proper elevation. I don't typically tag the bottom of footing elevation as other people do, so it's never been an issue for me. Not sure, maybe it's something innate with the tag?
try editing the footing type by changing the thickness to something different and then edit it again turning it back to the right thickness
Changing the thickness does not seem to help, the footing elevation only seems to vary once walls are joined with one another. If I unjoin or split them the footing elevations show the same elevation.

Just what the doctor didn't order.
Wow .these last six months of my career has been intense. I cant pinpoint any one project or situation but yeah intense. In this time period I have noticed quite a few things.

Why a Network?
So today there was a string of posts on twitter that ended up with a statement from @santinorizzo about why we built networks in the first place. "No, traditional networking has always been about connecting hosts, not delivering apps." This was the quote. I will start by saying I do not agree at all. I will also own up right now and say that I don't think that @santinorizzo meant this as literally as I am taking it but it did get me thinking alot. So I wanted to respond in a post. … [Read more...]

OctoPlus NV (OCTO) rose the most in seven months in Amsterdam trading after the developer of a hepatitis C treatment posted a third-quarter profit on cost reductions and repeated its 2009 sales forecast.
OctoPlus rose as much as 17 percent, the steepest intraday gain since April 8. The company had a third-quarter operating profit compared with a loss in 2008's third quarter, because it incurred development costs last year and cut jobs this year, OctoPlus spokeswoman Rianne Roukema said by phone.
OctoPlus has become a service provider, developing products for others, including Biolex Therapeutics Inc., which last year obtained the commercial rights for Locteron, OctoPlus's hepatitis C medicine. The Leiden, Netherlands-based company said in September it will reduce its workforce by about 25 percent in 2009, and the majority has already left, Roukema said today.
OctoPlus rose as much as 22 cents to 1.55 euros and traded at 1.456 euros as of 10:26 a.m. in Amsterdam today. The stock has advanced 69 percent this year, giving the company a market value of about 44 million euros ($66 million).
OctoPlus today repeated its full-year sales forecast of about 19 million euros in a statement distributed by Hugin. Roukema declined to provide figures for the operating results or say if OctoPlus will be profitable again in the fourth quarter.

The little sandwiches they sell to go are the best you can get. I loved the seafood sandwich and the egg salad. The gelato is great. The coffee bar is a cute little place for an espresso. Great for dinner too.

While VERY expensive, well worth the money! Service is excellent, food is wonderful. Their pastas are wonderful! They pour a good drink! Wine list is extensive with some reasonable choices. We generally split a pasta and each order an entrée - enough food for the two of us and then we bring some gelato home! Can't wait to go back... More
I've been lucky enough to dine at Sant Ambroeus several times while vacationing in the Hamptons. This is my #1 lunch stop and a great dinner venue also. If you're in town and feel like a quick (but fantastic) bite to eat, their stand up bar has a great selection on small sandwiches and great Rose house wine. The Pescatore... More
Sant'Ambroeus has been an institution in Milano for more than 80 years (and it's still there). The Southampton location gives you almost the same feeling as the original. It's not on the cheap side, but the quality is there. But when you feel to splurge a little, this is the place.
This is the best place to eat if you want great service, food, capachino,pasta and ambiance. Home made pasta is to die for. Always a 10 and never disappoints!
definitely an expensive meal but the flavors, service and ambiance make it worthwhile. my family goes there every year to celebrate birthdays and it never dissapoints. also be sure to try their gelato!! fresh and delicious!!!
After a stressful few days we found a table outside in the sun to relax. From the very first greeting our mood was turned around - nothing was too much trouble for the friendly (but not overbearing) staff. Our food matched the high quality of the service - we especially recommend the salmon tartare, insalata caprese and any of the... More
I booked a table over the phone for 9:30 pm the last in the phone said I could arrive until 10:00. We drive a long distance to arrive there and we only arrived 9:55 the receptionist said the restaurant closes at 10 and besides the fact that we still have some minutes to 10 the kitchen was closed. She wasn't... More
Expensive but not worth it ! They have their own bakery so you can't beat the bread ! Ordered the special "lobster" pasta which only fair but worst - there were only two small pieces of lobster not what was expected for $35 Better off going elsewhere
Very good place all around. The salami Sandwinches are great!!! Same as the Porshuto Swiss! I love the ice cream. I give it a 4-Star Rating!!!

Babeland, renowned Seattle sex toy shop, celebrates 20 years

Pretty Posts Sticky
Wondering how to blockquote? Don't know how to embed videos? This sticky is your go-to thread for help with making your comment or thread look as good as the most computer literate users here, hopefully in steps simple enough for [rival joke here] to understand. Before we get to it, there have been helpful threads in the past, such as this one from ShockFX (which goes into more plain text detail than I will here). I'm not promising anything revolutionary as much as providing a link for "one stop shopping" to help people with common problems.
How do I get a quote to show up in the fancy yellow box?
- Click "switch to plain text editor". This is a link at the bottom of the text box for either a comment or post/diary.
- Write out

- Paste your quote between ><
- Switch back to rich text editor. This button is in the same spot at the bottom of the text box as plain text editor.
- Format as needed: this is just trial and error. If you're really stuck it's not the end of the world, it sometimes takes practice.
How do I embed a video?
- Click "switch to plain text editor". This is a link at the bottom of the text box for either a comment or post/diary.
- On YouTube, click "share" and "embed".
- Copy the link that appears.
- Paste the link into the text box.
- Switch back to rich text editor. This button is in the same spot at the bottom of the text box as plain text editor.
- Look for a box. It should have a red outline and say either "flash" or "iframe". If you see this, you've succeeded; congrats.
How do I embed a video in a forum topic or diary?
Follow the instructions immediately above, but after clicking "share" on YouTube, you need to check the box below it that says "use old embed code".
I don't know how to embed a picture in my comment or post/diary.
- The easiest way to do this is to drag the picture from a site hosting it (such as Google Images, Facebook, ect.). You can left click your mouse on the picture and select "view" in Firefox or "open in new tab" in Chrome. Make the window smaller and drag the image into the text box.
- When commenting on a thread, story or diary, the comment box has a line of options at the top, with options like bold, italics, ect. On the far right is a little picture. Click this picture and paste the URL of the picture you would like included. You can obtain the URL by left clicking the image and selecting "copy image location".
Note: .gifs work the same way as pictures. Either of these instructions will work for GIFs.
My picture isn't the right size.
- If you dragged the picture into the comment box, right click and select "image properties", if the ratio is locked, 500 pixel width should be a full sized comment.
- If you are using the embed picture tool the size can be adjusted when you paste your link. 500 pixels wide should be a full sized comment.
I want to embed a Tweet in a comment.
- Click "switch to plain text editor". This is a link at the bottom of the text box for either a comment or post/diary.
- On the tweet you want to embed, click where it says "More"
- On the drop-down, select "Embed Tweet"
- Copy the code that appears
- Paste the code into the post
- Switch back to rich text editor. This button is in the same spot at the bottom of the text box as plain text editor.
Note: I'm told this does not work for forum topics or diaries. Sorry.
I've seen some posts use a fancy link that's part of the text. I want to do that too.
- Highlight the text you want to turn into a blue link.
- Click the blue globe on the top of the text box.
- Paste the URL you'd like to link to.
- Click "OK".
I want to get fancier than that.
To make the link open in a new window or tab:
- After clicking the globe and pasting the URL, click "target" and switch to "New Window (_blank)"
To underline links:
- While the text is highlighted, hit "ctrl" (Command for Apple users) and then "u" on your keyboard.
I need to create a table and copy/paste from Excel looks messy.
- Go to this link.
- Paste the table you have into the box and "Tableize It!"
- Click "switch to plain text editor". This is a link at the bottom of the text box for either a comment or post/diary.
- Paste the information the website spits out as "your table"
- Switch back to rich text editor. This button is in the same spot at the bottom of the text box as plain text editor.
- Format as needed. This usually means (for me) making sure there aren't a bunch of lines between the text and the table.
I still need help; the sticky isn't covering my problem.
Leave a comment here. We're fortunate to have a lot of knowledgeable and friendly posters here on the board, and someone will have an answer for you.
- Thanks to Raoul, Seth and MGoShoe for their work in the suggestions thread, and Michigan Shirt for the ShockFX link; some of the work above is yours and you deserve credit.
- Thank you everyone who made suggestions in the prior thread.
- Irrelevant comments made while this is on the front board will be deleted after it's off, this space should be kept clean for Q&A's.
- Questions, other tips not accounted for here or pointing out something I've done wrong in the OP are all highly encouraged.
Hide Negative Posters Script
EDIT: Hmm, so it works fine when I load it from my own machine, but if I load it from the link it doesn't seem to work, even though it seems to be exactly the same code. I'll try to figure this out before the next release.
EDIT EDIT: Alright, if you download the zip file from the link below, unpack it, and open the file in chrome, it works. This is much more complicated than just clicking the link. Many apologies.
Alright everyone. In the site improvements thread from earlier today, someone mentioned that my suggestion of allowing us to block users with negative points might be able to be taken care of via a greasemonkey script.
I hadn't ever tried them before, but it turns out hiding posts by users with negative points is actually pretty simple. Anyway, if you're in Chrome or if you have GreaseMonkey installed on FireFox, clicking this link should allow you to install the script.
DISCLAIMER: I haven't put anything purposely malicious into this, but I also haven't ever written a GreaseMonkey script before, so there's always a possibility that this will cause other sites to go haywire. For instance, I haven't put any checking in to make sure you're actually on MGoBlog, etc. Try at your own risk.
When I've got more time I'm going to try to tweak it so you can adjust point thresholds, etc. All this does is look for the - in front of the point total. Thresholds would require parsing the points, which I wasn't able to do in the half hour I spent putting this together.
OT: Thursday Night Drinking Thread
Wanted to create my first thread, tonight. First I just want to say how great the board is and it's fun coming on here everyday and sharing the Michigan love.
Tonight is my 7th day--out of a total 11 days--for my current vacation. I'm up north in Bellaire. Just got back from Short's brewery, and I picked up a growler of some nice seasonal beer. It's the "Black Cherry Porter" a very nice stout. It has a tart flavor but a very smooth and roasted finish.
The other drinks on tonight's menu are:
- Irish car bombs. I have some guiness, bailey's and some crappy whiskey.
- Jager Bombs. More of a young man's bomb, thankfully I'm still a young man.
- Vodka + Redbull. Read #2
- A dirty 30 of Busch Light..... would've picked up PBR (same price) but the store was out.
- Smirnoff Lemon. Not sure what to do with this, but we have some... so who knows.
Hope everyone on the MGoBoard has a good night, and here's to Iman Marshall and a 2017 Heisman Trophy (If we get him)!
OT: Favorite Dorm Memory
The other day, my buddy and I were reminiscing on some of the good times we had in the dorms. I think it would be interesting to hear some stories from some of the mgoblog crazies...
Best dorm memory during your time at the university, go!
OT: Email from SAM about recent scandal
I woke up this morning to an email that had come in to all alums of the UM Sigma Alpha Mu chapter (Sigma Iota in internal SAM nomenclature) in light of the recent scandal about the damages at the hotel in upper Michigan. The email came in at 1 AM, so apparently they took a page from the Dave Brandon playbook. As this has been a topic on the boards lately, and people have been asking me if I have heard anything from SAM yet, I thought I would share with you the email I received. The email is from Alan Greenberg, who is an alumni advisor to the chapter at UM. Sorry in advance for the long text box.
By now, you have probably heard or seen the bad publicity about Sigma Iota and their ski weekend event in Gaylord, Michigan. Most of it, but not all of it, is true. There were 115 Sammies and about 100 SDT's on this weekend trip. On Saturday night, things got way out of hand. I am not at liberty to describe what was going on at that time, and also I was not there (obviously). So I do not know exactly what took place. The end result was a lot of damage. The local TV station picked up the story and ran with it, eventually distributing it to every news outlet known to man.
The National immediately took action by placing the chapter on probation and ordering that they cease all regular activities until further notice. That includes social events, fundraisers, taking in pledges, athletics, etc. They also issued an apology on behalf of the National HQ. They have also kept in close touch with our Prior and with me, offering their guidance as to how things should be done. The Prior issued a press release a week ago offering his apologies on behalf of the Chapter. It reads:
We are embarrassed and ashamed of the behavior of a few of our chapter members at Treetops Resort over the weekend of January 17-18. This behavior is inconsistent with the values, policies, and practices of this organization.
Our chapter accepts full responsibility for this incident and we will be working with the management of the resort to pay for all damages and cleaning costs.
We will work within our own organization and with university officials to hold those who are responsible accountable for their actions.
More recently, the chapter has sent a $25,000 good faith deposit to the hotel. The Prior has placed calls to the hotel manager and the mayor of the City. By doing so, he has established a line of communication should either one of these men want to reach out to the chapter. He followed that up with emails of apology to both men, and offered that the brothers were more than willing to come back up there and perform community service for the city of Gaylord. The U of M is conducting an investigation and will turn the information over to a disciplinary panel made up of officers from fraternities and sororities. We don't know anything further about how the University will handle this or what else they will do.
Needless to say, this is a very serious issue. I have been in charge of the chapter since 2005, and we have had zero problems like this until now. This is a big one. Obviously, we hope that it does not result in our chapter being banned. It is more than ironic that this thing happened among a group of guys who were responsible for winning 3 Founders Cups in a row. The chapter has won the Cup 5 out of the past 7 years and was a close 2nd the other 2 years, one of which we should have been first, but the judges made a scoring error! Going all the way back to 1913 when the 1st Cup was awarded, this 7 year string of success is totally unprecedented.
And then there is academics. Every year the chapter has the highest GPA on campus! The guys have put in a countless number of hours for philanthropic fund raisers, and they have raised 100's of 1,000's of dollars. It is really a shame that a small quantity of guys created such a mess for everyone; the National HQ, the other brothers, our House Corporation, and themselves. Things were going great, and then this turned everything around 180 in an instant.
We shall see where the investigation goes and how it will work. I will try to keep you posted.
Fraternally, Alan Greenberg
So, that is what they said. If you want me to not share any further updates I receive from either national or UM SAM in the future, let me know, and I will not post these emails. I only am posting this as I have been asked if I had received anything yet.
OT: 5 more UM fraternities & sororities suspended
So, media outlets are reporting that in addition to Sigma Alpha Mu, the 5 additional fraternities and sororities involved in damage to ski resorts have been suspended by their National Organizations.
Pi Kappa and Chi Psi fraternities and Sigma Delta Tau, Alpha Phi and Delata Gamma sororities were placed on suspension by their national offices over the weekend, joining Sigma Alpha Mu fraternity, which was suspended last week.
The fraternities and sororities inflicted tens of thousands of dollars in damages on scores of rooms rented Jan. 16-17 at Treetops Resort in Gaylord and Boyne Highlands in Harbor Springs, according to UM officials.
"These incidents simply do not reflect the University of Michigan's values or its expectations," said E. Royster Harper, vice president for student life. "The behaviors are a contradiction of what it means to be in and of a community, and we do not believe that being away from campus is a license to act in destructive and irresponsible ways."
Note: you would think that the newspaper could get the names right. Pi Kappa? Delata Gamma? It shouldn't be that hard to have an editor figure that out. FTR, the Freep got the names of the frats and sororities right, but they aren't quoted or referenced on this website.
