Great post! I have really noticed that once I got down to a fairly low body fat percentage, I had to change things up to keep losing. I am a big fan of intermittent fasting like you, but had to adjust what I have been eating in between fasts. I have been cycling my calories a bit and am going to do this a little more.Darrin from Lean, Mean, Virile Machine has a good post about how it is more what you eat or how you eat versus just eating less. You should check it out, it kind of goes along with what you are saying here.
I really need to start having a cheat day. I haven't done this yet. I watch the football games on Sunday and have every opportunity to eat like a maniac, but just haven't done it yet. I need to do it though, I think it would be nice to just let loose and eat a shitload of food every once in a while!
Hey Dave,
I'm lovin your site. I've read a couple of your articles and can see you know what you are talking about. As far as carb cycling goes, perhaps I can help you simplify it. Here are the main rules:1. Eat less on your non-workout days
2. Eat most of your daily carbs in the morning and after a workout (morning to provide energy throughout the day, post workout to replenish glycogen stores)
3. No carbs at nightI've been under 8% body fat for the last 2 years, and these main concepts have made up my carb diet plan. Hope it helps!
I'm a fan of calorie cycling and carb cycling. I like to eat low calorie low carb during the week and high calorie high carb during the weekends (these coincide with the majority of my cheat meals). This type of eating schedule works well for me and the best part is I can eat some of my favorite foods every week!
I guess I'll be the odd man out and say I've never found the need to really calorie or carb cycle. However, I know that a lot of people use it. When done properly, it can be a very effective method.
I think this is key. just like we should shock the body with different fitness routines, we need to show our system with caloric imbalance days. this way it kick-starts metabolism consistently. I like skipping breakfast, its tough but I like the feeling of a challenge.
I agree as you get leaner you need to try different things more frequently.. I stopped losing fat for a while until I started mixing fasting and calorie cycling … then it all started to shift again … but guess what?
then fat loss started to slow down so now I do huge cheat days regualarly and the fat loss started again but that will stop too I guess and then????
Excellent Article

This sounds a lot like what i've been experimenting with recently Dave. Got some newer ideas when I read Venuto's recent Holy Grail book and basically, I go low calories for 3 days, go maintenance for 1 day, then go higher calorie on 2 days, and then maintenance for 1 day, then start over again. So starting sunday night after dinner, i fast until Monday at dinner (workout before dinner and before the workout just drink a half a cup of chocolate milk), eat dinner (steak, baked potato, steamed veggies with some almonds in it), then skip breakfast on tuesday, eat a salad for lunch with grilled steak and chicken in it, eat dinner again, fast until wednesdays dinner, then thursday wake up, eat oatmeal, eat lunch again, eat dinner, then on friday i add in besides breakfast and dinner (which changes up to pasta) some snacks of nuts, with the same thing on saturday (although it might be a bit more since it is the weekend and i tend to fall into "boredom eating" and then sunday a bit more maintenance and this was the longest run on sentence I think I've ever written..:) Anyways, bodyweight and waist measurements fluctuate a lot from day to day but, overall comparing week to week there are small (but noticeable) differences. Kind of like very short two steps forward, one step back approach.
Hey Dave, you posted the reasoning behind working out in a fasted state and then eating afterwards to fuel your recovering/rebuilding muscles. My job and my family make evening workouts very handy. Whats your thoughts how close to the time you go to bed should a person be eating? Also if the pre fast, post feed workout is more effective would you consider eating one large (after workout) meal a day wise? I am trying to drop an extra 80 lbs as fast/safely as I can due to knee pain and the upcoming summer/demanding season of my construction job.
Thanks for the reply. Yes you answered my questions. Ive have been watching what I eat for a couple of weeks now. I ended up averaging 2120 calories a day. Ive lost 10 lbs so far. Ive been doing steady state cardio (dancing around with my 3 kids ages 6, 4 & 2 )and some bodyweight exercises. A couple days ago I came with a Hiit routine using a heavy bag and a stationary bike lasting 20 min. It kicks my butt way more than the hour of cardio/calestenics I Was doing! As far as my current fitness level Im 37 yrs old 6′ 2″ and as of this morning weight 281 pounds. From what Ive looked up online I should be weighing around 200 lbs so thats my goal. My job and lifestyle make I.Fasting fairly convienent so Im thinking of giving it a try. Thanks again for your time.
I've been exercising for years but have just gotten serious about my eating and bodybuilding this year. Do you think that carb cycling can work for women just as well as for men? I've considered using this type of diet schedule to get lean, but from some of the reading I've done, it sounds very complex and time consuming to keep track of every calorie/carb that passes your lips. Is it absolutely necessary to count everything, or is there a more simplified approach to cycling that still produces results?
I'm definitely not into competitive fitness- I started out simply for the health benefits but have progressively gotten more interested in bodybuilding. I consider myself to be in fairly decent shape (5.2, 116 lbs.), but my current goals would be to add on some muscle in my lower body and abs, and lose enough body fat for obvious definition.
Because of budget and time constraints, I work out at home 5 days a week- a.m. weight training first followed by a cardio session. I'm trying to tweak my cardio to the correct amount for my goals. I know that HIIT helps with fat loss but too much can cause overtraining. Do you think that 2-3 HIIT sessions per week plus 2 moderate sessions would be a good place to start?
Thanks for your time and insight!
Thanks for the encouragement. You're absolutely right about fitness-mania causing feelings of.. well.. fatness-mania. I am pleased that I've made progress. As for being in the top 10%.. it's a nice thought anyway haha.
Your recommendations on the number of reps for definition are a good idea for me. I've always heard the old theory that "more reps create more defined muscles" but couldn't quite believe it, especially if the people touting it are only lifting 3lb dumbbells. I had been lifting mostly in the 12-15 rep range for upper & lower body, so I'll definitely start using the 3-5 sets/3-5 reps trick and see what happens.
About the carb-cycling, do I assume correctly that it's best to coordinate lower carb days with lower intensity training days, and vice versa. ?
I'm also interested in the posts on core work and HIIT. I'll be checking back to see the upcoming posts you mentioned.
Thanks again for the clear cut information! -
Is it terrible to admit that I never count calories? I tried once and it started taking over my life, seriously. I estimate what I eat, although truth be told, I'm a creature of habit and pretty much eat the same food on a frequent basis (sounds boring, I know). I just try to stick to lean protein, lowfat dairy, limit carbs, no sugar, tons of water and lots of fruits and vegetables. It seems to work for me. I feel almost guilty for not counting calories b/c so many people I know do just that.
That's not to say that I don't read labels or pay attention to portion sizes because I most definitely do.
I'm just so busy with my kids that counting calories would be one more thing to add to my ever-growing list of things to do on a daily basis.
But I'm fascinated with people who can do this successfully, lol.
Well I may get fat on it upon seeing your blog. I felt hungry all the way once I watch a yummy food. Thanks, I am fond of preparing a food stuff in the house.
Your responses are so informative. I was hoping that you could give me some advice. I am 37, and weigh 136 pounds (was 146.6) I work out 6 days a week, for an hour: 3 days weight train and circuit, 3 days running 3-7 miles (steady, tempo, Interval). Also, I throw in some high-interval a few times a week. I change my routines daily. Basically, I am now stuck at the last 10 pounds, and my weight is not budging. My fear is that I started my deficit to low (1200-1400 calories) and now I have nowhere to go. Should I increase to 1500, and deal with a weight gain in order to stimulate my metabolism? Or simply do calorie cycling?
Thanks in advance! -
Thank you for responding so quickly!
I am not opposed to either option, I want to be healthy and lean, and do it right, so I am not fixated on a weight goal in a time frame. It is just frustrating to work hard and not see rewards any more. I will try #2 first then #1. Can I replace distance running with hill sprints, drills, cross-country w/sprints as one form of HIIT? (I am passionate about running, it is pure joy for me).. Although I know it is the least affective for fat loss. My diet is squeaky clean. 40%carbs, 30%protein 30%fat 5x a day. My big question is this: When you say keep the calories low, do you mean perhaps around 1200-1300 with cycling?
Thanks! -
hi Dave – what a cool site! I found it as I recently read up on calorie shifting helping lose fat as you reach target weight loss. Please help: I've lost just 3 stones in the past two years but now I'm down to my last 10 lbs … which seem to be stored on the lower half of my body i.e. butt & thighs!! I'm 5'4 and weigh 56kg. Would you recommend carb cycling or calorie shifting; and if so what sort of regime? I'm a bit clueless on how to work out how many calories I would need in order to do this / and what a week of this would look like …
any help would be really appreciated
davina -
Thanks, Dave.
I'll give your suggestion a go and will revert with my progress.
This article has me intrigued because even after getting into fairly decent shape…I'm still kind of bummed about my lack of upper body strength/muscle.
I've started upping my calorie intake to around 1900 daily calories (spread out over three meals) which scares me a little but I've been trying not to overthink it too much.
I gained back the two lbs. that I recently lost due to some unforeseen stress and am hoping to put on about five lbs. of muscle in the next several months which I *hope* is doable.
I'm learning that the scale is not the end-all, be-all of my existence but rather my body fat % and how I look in my clothes is a better indicator of my overall fitness. Here's hoping…
Sound advice, as usual. The problem lies inherently with me, I think because everyone tells me that I look fine but I'm unhappy. I want to look more like a tennis player. Currently, I resemble a yoga or pilates instructor (or so I'm told). Those two female body types couldn't be further apart which is part of my 'dilemma'. There's also a lot of societal pressure to look 'perfect', particularly as one grows older. It's just…a lot to deal with. I hate sounding so vain, lol.
I'm giving myself a few months to see if upping my caloric intake plus lifting heavier weights whilst throwing cardio on the back burner gives me the results I'm looking for.
What's a realistic time frame to see some improvements in my physique with weight training? I heard that it could take roughly 6-12 months for me to see a 5 lb. gain in lean muscle. Is this true? I'm lifting heavier weights than I've ever attempted before three times a week. The scale is not really moving at this point but I didn't expect it to. I do feel a bit stronger but it's still so early on. I guess I'm just anxious about making some progress. *shrugs*
And yeah, I'm eating more on the days (which is still scary to me, lol) that I lift with a focus on protein and doing my maintenance calories on the days that I don't. I'm not even doing cardio for the moment. I'm giving my body a few weeks to readjust after all the cardio-intense work I was doing for the past five months. I do plan to add some Tabata back on after I lift twice weekly in another couple of weeks.
I'd love to hear your thoughts. Thanks in advance.
I would never attempt to gain 5 lbs. in just a month – that would be crazy to expect instant results. Totally agree with you on that.
But I disagree with the point you made about the more you eat, you will be more likely to gain fat along with muscle. Not necessarily so. I mean, I'm not 'filling the gap' with junk food. I'm eating whole organic fresh food. I'm trying to gain lean muscle in the most sensible and safe way. If I really didn't care, I guess I'd gorge myself on McDonald's for a few weeks and call it a day but I'd still be no closer to looking better or healthier IMO.
And is it normal for your muscles to look more 'pumped up' after a weight training session? I almost have decent-looking biceps then the next day, they disappear, lol.
I did see my father yesterday and he commented that I looked better so that's nice to hear.
Agreed, it is always about calories in and calories out. Although I'm only eating 300 calories more (on the training days) which is roughly the equivalent of two glasses of skim milk and one hard-boiled egg in my case.
My 'problem' – haha. Yeah, well, I'm learning that attempting to gain a bit of weight (a.k.a. muscle) is JUST as difficult as trying to lose weight, especially if you're an ecto like myself.
Good to know about the 'pump'… I thought it was just me seeing what I wanted to see, lol.
I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks for the great info. as usual.
That 'trick' you mention is similiar to what women who practice Pilates do before they go to the pool and/or beach. A few sets of the exercise, 'The Hundred' and your stomach is as flat as a pancake and tighter-looking too. I guess women and men aren't so different after all, lol.
It's funny that you mention planks too b/c I did those in my hotel room while on vacation before hitting the beach. Even my nine-year old son joined in and let me tell you, the kid has one killer six-pack! I'd give my right arm for his abs, lol. My six-year old thought it was hysterical to see the two of us doing the planks fifteen minutes before we left the room. But they work, no doubt about that. I probably won't see a pool either until the kids have their spring break in April so I can relate on the changing of the seasons as well.
I've heard that to determine your daily caloric intake you should multiply your bodyweight by 17. My amount would be 1972. I'm confused because I've been eating this amount on my lifting days and on my maintenance days I'm eating like b/t 1600-1700 calories. Does that mean I should be eating 1972 on maintenance and closer to 2300 calories on the lifting days to build some muscle? Have I still been eating too little?
Believe it or not, I'm not really freaking out at the increased amount b/c it wouldn't be junk food (obviously) but I need to know what direction to head – calorie-wise. Thanks.
Then I wasn't completely offbase with my original estimates. Good to know. It is hard to count calories, I've actually been adding a bit in slowly like you said. Once I get to 'goal', then I could back off a bit as you suggested.
Just wondering – what's your thoughts on the new myplate.gov that Mrs. Obama instituted compared to the old food pyramid? I think it's much improved, personally.
I agree, portion sizes have gotten huge – everything's super-sized now. But it'sd definitely a great start IMO.
Quick question: How would I eat the day after I "indulged" on Chinese food? Last night we went to an Asian restaurant and I didn't gorge myself bt obviously this morning I noticed some bloat particularly around my midsection (the abs didn't look as sharp) as a result. To be fair, I didn't drink much water all weekend so that's not helping either.
My dilemma is that today is my lifting day so I can exactly skip a meal. Should I cut down on the complex carbs like bread while drinking more water and eating more protein?
It sound silly but I'm always afraid my abs will disappear from eating a big meal or something like that. I worked hard to have them visible, lol.
What do you suggest?
Oops, I meant I cannot skip a meal in the above comment.
I normally would agree with you about fasting but seeing as I'm attempting to gain like 5 lbs.of muscle, I'm not in the position to skip meals especially on a day when I workout with weights.
Wouldn't that kill any progress I've made?So, I'm gathering that there's no room for error here then – I've been eating really well the whole day as you suggested.
Does this mean I can't ever verve off-course until after I hit my goal of gaining the five pounds?
If you could clarify, it'd be much appreciated. Thanks.
Just wondering what you thought of Dr. Oz? He's of the mindset to eat 6 times a day- etc., etc. I do watch him sometimes but I take his advice with a grain of salt. Do you think he's a quack or legit?
I don't remember seeing a post about water and/or juices so I thought I'd ask my question(s) here. Anyway…
1. Sometimes I find it hard to drink 8 glasses of water daily. I'm not inherently a water drinker so I have to "force" myself to do so. Most days, I can easily do 5-6 but unless I'm working out, 8 is kind of tough. Does green tea and black coffee count as 'water'? I like the taste of those beverages better. Also, is your suggested daily water intake based on your height and/or weight?
2. I absolutely hate citrus fruits HOWEVER I do like orange juice (without the pulp). I noticed though that one serving of orange juice is 110 calories as compared to (low-sodium) V8 juice which is only 50 calories. Is one juice necessarily better for me or are all juices inherently bad b/c of their high sugar content?
~Toni -
You're correct, V8 is in fact lower in calories b/c the base is mostly tomatoes with celery, spinach and some other vegetables thrown in. So, I'm assuming that if I am to drink juice, V8 is better, right?
What do think of those powders that you can add to plain water to help it taste better? And what about 'fizzy' water like Perrier (love that!)? I know the bubbles tend to bloat you but once in a while wouldn't hurt, would it? I just find drinking plain water is so…blah. Yet I can't deny that my skin looks better and my muscle definition looks sharper when I drink it so I'm aware of its inherent benefits.
BTW, I know I'm not dehydrated b/c my urine is clear so that's a non-issue for me.
A few questions for you.1. Should I cut down on my consumption of green tea (usually have 2-3 cups daily) while I'm trying to gain muscle because it aids in weight loss or does the green tea help in keeping my bodyfat levels low while I'm trying to increase my weight?
2. Also, I'm noticing that I'm not gaining weight every single week like I thought I would (I gained one pound over the course of roughly three weeks). How much more should I be eating? I've been following the parameters you gave me for 1750 on maintenance days and 2100 on workout days. I obviously need to eat more on workout days but how much more and specifically carbs? And by carbs do I need them to be fruits/vegetables or can they be bread, pasta, oatmeal and rice or doesn't it matter?
Toni -
I agree, I really don't think I've gained a pound of fat b/c my abs are still pretty visible. Wow, I don't think I've ever eaten 2000-2400 calories in my whole life. That's…a lot of food but I'm committed to this – bottom line. It's just I'm so used to eating bird-like portions b/c us women have been brainwashed that way.I've also recently switched from skim milk to 2% milk because I need the extra 40 calories. And I concur, green tea is shelved for the time being; I think it's counterproductive to my goals at this point.
On one of the medical websites they stated that someone my height should be 130 lbs. That's darn near impossible for me to gain 12 lbs.; it's never gonna happen – my body type just won't allow it. Isn't it better to go by my BMI which is currently in the normal weight category? I'd love to be 125 lbs. but I'd settle for 122ish if I had to.
So, I followed your advice about upping my overall caloric intake (2000=maintenance and 2400=workout) and I've actually gained a whole pound this week; bringing me to 119. Are you sure that gaining .5 to 1 lbs. per week is a safe number to shoot for in terms of weight gain? I just want to gain it slowly so it's actual muscle and not fat, although I did take your advice on how much protein, carbs and fat to eat daily so my diet's been fairly spot-on. And yeah, the abs are still very visible so I know it's definitely muscle that was added this last week and my clothes fit better now; I don't look like I'm 'swimming' in them anymore.
P.S. I still can't get over the fact that I'm hardly doing any cardio at all and making great progress. That alone just blows me away!
~Toni -
This may be a silly question but how do you know when you've gotten to your goal weight? Another words, I really would like to put on an additional eight pounds which would bring my weight gain up to ten pounds in total. How do I know what's the right weight for me – taking into account: body type/frame, muscle structure and height? All the BMI charts seem to be geared more toward medium and/or larger-boned women. They have someone my height weighing as much as 140 lbs.+ which is fine if you're not built like me – smaller in stature. As it is, I think it'll probably take me at LEAST another six months to gain eight more pounds. Thanks in advance.

Long time, no speak! I am very interested in carb cycling now that I am around my goal (and honestly, crave carbs). I am looking for a plan to do this…not sure if it makes sense to do like 3 days low carb, 1 day high carb (repeat)…or do my first meal of the day high carb and dinner low carb (a daily approach)..or maybe weekdays low carb, weekends high carb? I know a lot of it is invididual but value your opinion based on your own experience. Also, for me, I am defining high carb days are almost all natural carbs, not "junk"…so oatmeal, rice, more fruit, maybe some whole grain pasta. As you know, I workout 6x a week EARLY morning, and generally skip breakfast M-F and only have three meals on weekends. I am willing to change this if it helps. Thanks!
Thanks for the tips Dave. Since I mostly do two meals a day I will make lunch the higher carb one and try that out. Funny…I assume this would be for another thread but I am beginning to question low carb diets and solutions…at least in the long term. A few days last week I ate much higher carb and felt 1000000% percent better…massive energy, no more dizzness when standing or cold body temp…even muscles seemed fuller (water maybe?).
Thanks Dave. I noticed that during my last binge…granted I went overboard and went up 7.6lbs in two days. It's mostly gone now, but it was a temporary flucuation for sure (again, I went way overboard on refined carbs…Fluff anyone?). I am making Sunday my high carb (cheat day) as planned. I'd love to get to both weekend days…maybe Saturday a HEALTHY high carb day and Sunday a more liberal high carb cheat day (like pizza).
I've gained enough weight (11 lbs.) so I'm maintaining now at 125. I've done the math (BWx15) and I'm coming up with about 1900 kcals for maintenance and about 2200 kcals for workout days. Is this correct? I realize that I may have to reassess in a couple of weeks to make sure I'm not gaining OR losing but I'm just looking for a starting point with my daily caloric intake.I'm also still thinking about doing IF but I want to wait and see if my weight can hold steady for a little while. Right now, I'm only eating 3x/day on maintenance days and 4x/day on workout days and what a difference. I'm no longer consumed by thoughts of food or my next meal. "Bulking" was hard work!

Leishmaniasis is an infectious disease spread by the bite of the female sandfly.
There are different forms of leishmaniasis.
Cases of leishmaniasis have been reported on all continents except Australia and Antarctica. In the Americas, leishmaniasis can be found in Mexico and South America. Leishmaniasis has been reported in military personnel returning from the Persian Gulf.
Symptoms of cutaneous leishmaniasis depends on where the lesions are located and may include:
Systemic visceral infection in children usually begins suddenly with:
Adults usually have a fever for 2 weeks to 2 months, along with symptoms such as fatigue , weakness , and appetite loss. Weakness increases as the disease gets worse.
Other symptoms of systemic visceral leishmaniasis may include:
A physical exam may show signs of an enlarged spleen, liver, and lymph nodes. The patient may have been bitten by sandflies, or was in an area known for leishmaniasis.
Tests that may be done to diagnose the condition include:
Other tests that may be done include:
Medicines called antimony-containing compounds are the main drugs used to treat leishmaniasis. These include:
Other drugs that may be used include:
Plastic surgery may be needed to correct the disfigurement caused by sores on the face (cutaneous leishmaniasis). Patients with drug-resistant viral leishmaniasis may need to have their spleen removed (splenectomy ).
Cure rates are high with the proper medicine. Patients should get treated before damage to the immune system occurs. Cutaneous leishmaniasis may lead to disfigurement.
Death is usually caused by complications (such as other infections), rather than from the disease itself. Death often occurs within 2 years.
Contact your health care provider if you have symptoms of leishmaniasis after visiting an area where the disease is known to occur.
Preventing sandfly bites is the most immediate form of protection. You can prevent a bite by:
Public health measures to reduce the sandfly population and animal reservoirs are important. There are no vaccines or drugs that prevent leishmaniasis.

Responsible department: Office of the Leader of the House of Commons
It has become obvious that coalition government for this country doesn't work. There have been to many trade off's within manifestos and this has lead to the British voting public being misled. In other words government by default. This country, especially at this time needs a strong and focused government with a mandate from the voting public, yes, I accept we couldn't, or didn't vote a clear majority to any one party, but I believe that the party who lost the most votes should be automatically discounted from the next round of election's and consequently the manifesto of the strongest party would be adhered to by the letter, so the British public would be completely aware of the next five years plans for the country.

Dubai: Bank Sarasin-Alpen is expanding into major Gulf States following its Islamic Finance expansion plans and not only focusing on Dubai which is the central hub in MENA private banking.
According to the officials, Bank Sarasin-Alpen is expanding into Oman and planning a major entry with Islamic finance in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
The bank, which is one of various units in the region owned by Bank Sarasin based in Basel, started Gulf operations in 2005 with the launch of its Dubai office. It has since spread to Doha, Muscat, Manama and Abu Dhabi.
The Executive Vice Chairman & CEO of Bank Sarasin-Alpen Group in Middle East and India, Rohit Walia, said, "Dubai is still far ahead of its GCC counterparts, especially if you look at what the DIFC has produced."
"Other major cities have tried to replicate what the DIFC has done. But they still don't have the connectivity that Dubai has, particularly around transport links like Emirates Airline," he added.
At the end of last year the bank launched an Islamic financial service in Oman, the first step to what will eventually be a growth plan into Saudi Shariah products.
Sarasin-Alpen started its operations in Muscat in 2008 and was the first Swiss-based private banking advisory service to operate in the country. The Sarasin Group launched its Islamic Wealth Management offering from Switzerland in late 2009.
Walia said, "We have ambitions in Saudi, so we will need Islamic finance as part of our offering. We've set up in Oman, Qatar and the UAE, and will be ready for the big game in the Kingdom in a next couple of years."
GCC clients are still cautious about taking bets with their money after suffering heavy losses from the financial crisis. This has perhaps contributed to the rise in demand for Islamic finance, which is perceived as a safer option.
"Fixed incomes investment has also been popular, particularly in Middle East companies and sovereigns giving a yield of between 4-4.5 percent. As far as liquid investment, that's what people are looking at," added Walia.
The bank has also been pushing equities as a valid investment option, but it is a hard sell given the turmoil gripping regional and global markets.
Walia commented, "Equity markets are not performing, so prices are at an all-time low. It's a medium risk investment that we think our clients should consider."
But is the bank winning the argument?
"There's nothing we can say that will convince everyone. Ultimately, clients have lost money on the advice of bankers," Walia answered.
Meanwhile, he said that there are opportunities for smaller banks to capitalise on the exits of giant diversified players. Most conspicuous was HSBC, Europe's biggest lender, which earlier this year significantly scaled down its private banking operations in the Middle East. It also said its top private banker, global market head for the Middle East and Africa since January 2011, Mark Stadler, had been reassigned to London.

Trigg County High School has called a news conference for 4pm Thursday at the school where it is expected to name Hopkinsville assistant coach Payton Croft the new boys basketball coach.
Croft is a 2005 graduate of Crittenden County High School where he was an all-district basketball player under his father and coach Jimmy Croft. Payton served as an assistant coach under his father at Livingston Central and has been on Tim Haworth's staff at Hopkinsville the past several seasons which included back to back trips to the Sweet 16. The hiring of Croft is considered a surprise by some. Trigg County assistant coach Rex Booth, who guided Livingston Central to the 2012 district title, was considered the front runner for the job after serving as an assistant coach under Mike Wright, who recommended him to be his replacement. Wright announced before the 2012-13 season that it would be his last as head coach. Croft inherits two starters and a talented sophomore class that finished 20-9 and won a district title.

SUNDAYS9:15 a.m. Bible Study
WORSHIP10:30 a.m.Classic Worship (Sanctuary, 211 W. Comanche)LifeSong Worship (Common Ground, 324 W. Main)
WEDNESDAY NIGHTS5:30 p.m. Fellowship Meal6:00 p.m. Wednesday Night Core (for the whole family)
I am always blessed to visit with those that are looking for a church home, because I believe it is one of the most important decisions an individual or family makes. First, I invite anyone looking for a church home to visit First Baptist. We have been in downtown Norman for 125 years serving and being the presence of Christ for the young, the old, and everyone in between. We care for each other, we serve our community , and we reach out to the nations as we share and exalt Jesus. We are a Baptist church, but we are unique in our expression as Baptists and many of our members come from a variety of denominational and church backgrounds. Don't let a denominational label or stereotype keep you from visiting. Second, Norman is blessed with many wonderful churches that reflect the diversity of our community and the diversity of the Kingdom of God. We celebrate that the Body of Christ is larger than First Baptist and our greatest joy is when folks find the right church for them. If we can help folks find that church home, we consider it pure joy.
As you arrive at First Baptist on Sunday morning there are a few things that you will notice right away. First, our campus is "under construction." The most recent addition is our children's playground. Its bright colors and inviting presence speak to our commitment to serve children and their families. You will also notice the new stairs being built into our sanctuary and the new elevator tower going up on the east side of our campus that will serve our offices and give access to our youth area and adult classrooms, which are being updated. We believe that these "external" changes are reflective of the inward work of God's Spirit among our congregation. Second, we intend to greet you with a spirit of hospitality. Greeters are at each of our entrances and in our library can answer any questions you have and help you find your place in Bible study and worship. You may even be greeted by one of our ministry staff as they welcome folks to church. Worship begins at 10:30 a.m.. We have simultaneous worship services which reflect the diversity of our congregation. Our traditional service meets in the Sanctuary, at 211 W. Comanche, and our LifeSong service meets at Common Ground, 324 W. Main Street. Each worship venue is unique to its worship expression. On most Sundays I preach in both services, but I also invite our ministry staff to preach regularly as well. Finally, our prayer is that you will experience the presence of God through His people, His Word, and His worship. When you leave First Baptist on Sunday morning we trust that you will be encouraged and strengthened for the life He has called you to live.
First Baptist is a diverse congregation often reflected through the attire that we wear to church. This means that you will see people dressed in their "Sunday best" dresses and suits and ties. It also means that you will also see folks dressed in their business or afternoon casual attire. Our desire is to dress in ways that honor God and respect each other. And that looks differently for each of us!
Yes! The Body of Christ celebrates the diversity of its members and the contribution of each member as part of the Body. As a church, we desire to serve and encourage each of our members to become the person that God has created us to be. Likewise, each member has a responsibility to participate and serve the church with their gifts, talents, expertise, and experiences. One of the exciting things about new members is watching how God integrates them into the fellowship and ministry of the church. There is a place for you!
This website is a wonderful place to learn more about First Baptist. Each Sunday our worship guide provides a tear-off that you can place in the offering plate and request information. An eight page brochure is available that illustrates how we Love People, Teach the Word, and Live the Journey together. Our New at First lunches also provide an opportunity to meet our ministry staff and to learn more about First Baptist. If you have specific questions, I invite you to e-mail me or one of our ministers.

Effects of testosterone treatment on bone mineral density in men with testosterone deficiency syndrome.
Summary of "Effects of testosterone treatment on bone mineral density in men with testosterone deficiency syndrome."
The decline in testosterone levels found in men with testosterone deficiency syndrome (TDS) is associated with a decrease in bone mineral density (BMD). To study the safety profile and efficacy of testosterone treatment on BMD in patients with TDS. In this 2-year prospective open-label study, patients were administered 50 mg of testosterone gel daily (adjustable after 3 months up to 75-100 mg or down to 25 mg) for 12 months, followed by treatment with 1000 mg of testosterone undecanoate every 2-3 months from months 12-24. Outcome measures were as follows: (i) Changes in clinical chemistry safety parameters and total testosterone, sex hormone binding globulin and calculated free testosterone (cFT) levels; (ii) Changes in Aging Males' Symptoms Scale (AMS) and International Prostate Symptom Score scores; and (iii) Changes in lumbar spine and hip BMD. A total of 50 men aged 50-65 years with TDS (AMS >26 and cFT <0.250 nmol/mL) took part in the study. There was no significant impact of testosterone on safety. Prostate-specific antigen and haematopoietic parameters increased significantly, although the changes were not clinically significant. Total and cFT increased significantly after 3 months (p < 0.001) and there were significant improvements after 3 months in AMS scores (p < 0.001). BMD improved significantly in L2-L4 (2.90 and 4.5%), total femur (0.74 and 3%) and trochanter (1.09 and 3.2%) at 12 and 24 months respectively. Testosterone treatment in men with TDS has a good safety profile, leads to significant improvement in lumbar spine and hip BMD, and improves symptoms, as assessed by the AMS questionnaire.

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Testosterone Congeners
Steroidal compounds related to TESTOSTERONE, the major mammalian male sex hormone. Testosterone congeners include important testosterone precursors in the biosynthetic pathways, metabolites, derivatives, and synthetic steroids with androgenic activities.
A potent androgenic metabolite of TESTOSTERONE. Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is generated by a 5-alpha reduction of testosterone. Unlike testosterone, DHT cannot be aromatized to ESTRADIOL therefore DHT is considered a pure androgenic steroid.
Bone Density
The amount of mineral per square centimeter of BONE. This is the definition used in clinical practice. Actual bone density would be expressed in grams per milliliter. It is most frequently measured by X-RAY ABSORPTIOMETRY or TOMOGRAPHY, X RAY COMPUTED. Bone density is an important predictor for OSTEOPOROSIS.
A potent androgenic steroid and major product secreted by the LEYDIG CELLS of the TESTIS. Its production is stimulated by LUTEINIZING HORMONE from the PITUITARY GLAND. In turn, testosterone exerts feedback control of the pituitary LH and FSH secretion. Depending on the tissues, testosterone can be further converted to DIHYDROTESTOSTERONE or ESTRADIOL.
Testosterone Propionate
An ester of TESTOSTERONE with a propionate substitution at the 17-beta position.

Financial aid bridges the gap between the cost of your education and what you can afford to pay.
Almost three-quarters of MCTC students receive some form of financial aid to help cover their educational expenses. Do not assume that you will not qualify–apply!
Financial aid at MCTC can take the form of grants or scholarships (which you don't need to pay back), federal student loans, or work study.
Start now. You don't have to wait until you have applied to the College or enrolled in courses. The earlier you complete your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), the earlier you will know the amount of financial aid you may be eligible to receive. You must reapply for financial aid every year. Financial aid is awarded for the academic year that begins in the fall.

You may be offered one or more of these types of financial aid. Here's what you need to know and do:
An op-ed piece in the Star Tribune discusses a recent report from the Pew Research Center showing the earnings gap between those with and without a college education is widening.
"Among 25- to 32-year-olds, the average annual income of college grads working full time is $17,500 more than those whose formal education ended with high school, Pew reported. College grads also are more likely to be working and more satisfied in their jobs. Those disparities "have never been greater in the modern era," the report said.

I have performed Rhinoplasty for well over 25 years and the answer is, it may or may not continue to get smaller 10 months after a Rhinoplasty. In thin skin and a primary Rhinoplasty, most patients are fully healed between 6-9 months following the Rhinoplasty. With thicker, oily skin or in cases of Revision Rhinoplasty the swelling may last for 12 months or more. Your Rhinoplasty Surgeon should be able to tell you more specifics about your case.

Antoine-Louis Barye (French, 1796–1875)
Lion and Serpent, modeled 1833
Bronze, 9 1/2 x 6 1/2 X 15 1/2 in.
Barye turned the minor genre of animal sculpture into a major category in 19th-century art, inspiring a host of followers. He carefully studied and drew animals at Paris's zoo and markets and attended dissections. The best of his sculptures surpass mere description and resonate with human passion and conflict. Lion and Serpent has also been read as an allegorical representation of King Louis-Philippe's (reigned 1830–1848) rise to power during the July revolution of 1830. The noble lion, representing the new King and the people of France, is shown in a triumphant struggle against the serpent, symbolizing Charles X (reigned 1824–1830) and the ousted Bourbon dynasty.

Obesity & Health
The Obesity Epidemic
Obesity is a life-threatening disease currently affecting a quarter of the United States population. The prevalence of obesity has risen by more than 60 percent in the past decade, with South Carolina having among the highest obesity levels in the country for children and adults.
Individuals age 18 and older with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 40 or more or a BMI of 35 with other health problems are considered at risk for disability and premature death because of being overweight or obese.
Obesity-Related Health Conditions
Often obesity leads to a number of physical ailments and diseases. Obesity-related health conditions (co-morbidities) are health risks that, whether alone or in combination, can significantly reduce your life expectancy. Below are some of the most common obesity-related health conditions.
- Type 2 Diabetes
- High blood pressure/Heart disease
- Osteoarthritis of weight-bearing joints
- Sleep apnea/Respiratory problems
- Gastroesophageal reflux/Heartburn
- Depression
- Infertility
The Toll of Obesity
- Obesity contributes to more than 300,000 deaths annually in the United States, second only to cigarette smoking.
- Studies have shown that obesity - linked to diabetes, arthritis, heart disease, stroke and certain cancers - raise a person's healthcare costs by 36 percent and medication costs by 77 percent.
- Adults with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 40 or more or a BMI of 35 with other health problems are considered at risk for disability and premature death because of their weight.
The Causes of Obesity
The causes of obesity are multiple and complex, and not simply a result of overeating or lack of willpower. Research has shown that in many cases a significant, underlying cause of severe obesity is genetic.
Studies have demonstrated that once the problem is established, dieting and exercise programs have a limited ability to provide effective long-term relief. As scientists continue to study the causes of obesity, individuals must decide how to treat their condition most effectively.

The Zone diet is a diet popularized in books by biochemist Barry Sears. It advocates consuming calories from carbohydrates, protein, and fat in a balanced ratio.[1]
Contents |
The diet centers on a "40:30:30" ratio of calories obtained daily from carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, respectively.[citation needed]
"The Zone" is Sears' term for proper hormone balance. When insulin levels are neither too high nor too low and glucagon levels are not too high, then specific anti-inflammatory chemicals (types of eicosanoids) are released, which have similar effects to aspirin, but without downsides such as gastric bleeding. Sears claims that a 30:40 ratio of protein to carbohydrates triggers this effect, and this is called 'The Zone.' Sears claims that these natural anti-inflammatories are heart- and health-friendly.
Additionally, the human body in calorie balance does not have to store excess calories as fat.[citation needed] The human body cannot store fat and burn fat at the same time[citation needed] and Sears believes it takes time (significant time if insulin levels were high because of unbalanced eating) to switch from the former to the latter.[citation needed]
Another key feature of the Zone diet, introduced in his later books, is an intake of a particular ratio of Omega-3 to Omega-6 fatty acids. Sears is believed to have helped popularize the taking of pharmaceutical-grade Omega 3 fish oils.[2]
Sears believes in a hormonal paradox contrary to the "low-fat/high carbohydrate" rationale of most diets (including the USDA "Food Pyramid"). He claims that the relatively high proportion of carbohydrate in these diets—by comparison to protein— increases the production of the hormone insulin, causing the body to store more fat. The example proposed by Sears is the cattle ranching practice of fattening livestock efficiently by feeding them high amounts of high-carbohydrate grain. Sears points out the supposed irony:
"data analysis ... shows that in spite of the fact that the American public has dramatically cut back on the amount of fat consumed, the country has experienced an epidemic rise in obesity." [3]
Additionally, Sears suggests fat consumption is essential for "burning" fat. His rationale is: Monounsaturated fats in a meal contribute to a feeling of fullness and decrease the rate at which carbohydrates are absorbed into the bloodstream. Slower carbohydrate absorption means lower insulin levels which means less stored fat and a faster transition to fat burning. If the body needs energy and can't burn fat because of high insulin levels, a person feels tired as their brain starves and metabolism slows to compensate. This occurs because the brain runs on glucose and high insulin levels deplete blood glucose levels. Such a condition, rebound hypoglycemia, causes sweet cravings (which just starts the high-insulin cycle all over again).
Sears describes a Zone meal as follows: "Eat as much protein as the palm of your hand, as much non-starchy raw vegetables as you can stand for the vitamins, enough carbohydrates to maintain mental clarity because the brain runs on glucose, and enough monounsaturated oils to keep feelings of hunger away."
Whether the Zone diet is a low-carb diet[4] is a matter of opinion and definition. It is much less restrictive in total carbohydrate intake than the Atkins diet that became extremely popular throughout the United States in 2003 and 2004. Sears claims that diets specifically designed as "low carb" miss the point. According to him, they ignore the importance of moderation and balance: hormonal balance, as well as the influence of dietary balance on digestion and hormone production. A reasonable argument could be made that the typical American follows a "high carb" diet, and that the Zone diet is simply a moderate one.
Sears believes the characterization of the Zone diet as 'high-protein' is inaccurate, as more calories come from carbohydrates than protein. In his book, he advocates a formula based on lean body mass and activity level to determine the appropriate daily intake of protein. For example, a female of average height and average build who has a moderately active lifestyle is encouraged to eat around 60g of protein daily.
The most common vegetarian or vegan diets, according to Sears, are highly dissimilar from The Zone because they generally utilize very little protein relative to carbohydrate consumption. Low-protein vegetarian diets, says Sears, prohibits the body from operating truly efficiently. In 2000, Sears published the Soy Zone where he outlined a zone diet based around soy protein and soy foods, for vegetarians who wish to follow a Zone diet.
Some nutritional experts, including some of Sears' former colleagues, are critical of his conclusions from the scientific evidence, contending that he has distorted or exaggerated the meaning of much of the basic research. They point out that no direct studies to verify his conclusions have been performed.[5]

Gluten-Free Girl's Irish Soda Bread
by Healthy Eats in Gluten-Free, March 14, 2011Shauna James Ahern, better known as Gluten-Free Girl, is sharing her favorite gluten-free recipes with us! This week, an Irish classic: Soda bread.
St. Patrick's Day is coming up. Everyone will be Irish for the day, dressed in green and hoping to not get pinched.
Most people think of corned beef and cabbage when they think of St. Patrick's Day foods. It's nice, no question. However, when I was in Ireland on St. Patrick's Day, 10 years ago, I was shocked to find that no one ate corned beef and cabbage on that celebration day. No one.
Brown soda bread? That's eaten all through the year and on St. Patrick's Day, too.
Soda bread takes only a few moments to make. It requires no yeast, so no worrying that your yeast is old or your kitchen too hot. You simply throw some flours in a bowl, add rolled oats, baking soda and salt and stir in some buttermilk. Slide it into a hot oven and you have bread in under an hour. Crusty, warm bread.
And gluten-free? The crust is just as crackly, the crumb just as soft, the slices just as firm, and the bread just as delicious as the gluten version.
Gluten-Free Irish Soda Bread
Adapted from Colman Andrews' The Country Cooking of Ireland
Butter for greasing
Sweet rice flour for flouring
150 grams (2/3 cup) almond flour
150 grams (3/4 cup) sorghum flour
100 grams (1/2 cup) sweet rice flour
50 grams (1/3 cup) teff flour
50 grams (1/4 cup) potato flour
10 grams (2 tablespoons) flax seed meal
80 grams rolled oats
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup currants
2 to 4 cups buttermilk
1 large egg plus 1 tablespoon water, mixed
Preheat the oven to 375.
Grease a baking sheet with butter, then dust it with sweet rice flour.
Mix together the almond flour, sorghum flour, sweet rice flour, teff flour and potato flour. Whisk them together to aerate and incorporate them. Mix in the flaxseed, oats, baking soda and salt. Toss in the currants and mix them into the flours.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the buttermilk. Add buttermilk, mixing, until the dough is moist and soft but not wet, with no visible flour left. You will probably use about 3 cups, but feel free to use less or more, depending on your kitchen.
Turn the dough out onto the baking sheet. With lightly floured hands, shape the dough into a round about 3 inches thick. Cut a deep cross into the top of the loaf with a wet, serrated knife. Brush on the egg wash evenly.
Bake until the crust is dark brown and you hear a hollow thump on the bottom when you tap it, about 45 to 60 minutes.
Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Slack functioning of trial courts is not the only reason for delays in disposal of cases
The lengthy delay in the disposal of a bride burning case before a trial court in Punjab has provoked a Division Bench of the Supreme Court to express its "anguish, agony and concern" over the length of adjournments granted by the trial courts in the country. The Supreme Court having stepped in to curb the tendency of trial courts to liberally grant adjournments has evoked several responses, primarily highlighting how delays in the disposal of cases are attributable to the slack functioning of the trial courts.
Between 2010 and 2012, an intensive research study examining the functioning of lower courts was carried out in Maharashtra, Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh. In-depth qualitative interviews with district and taluka court judges, lawyers and litigants in this study reveal that while all the respondents agreed that 'delays' were a primary hurdle to accessing the judiciary, a closer inspection revealed that the adjournments were related to issues that are not only systemic but also a result of external factors that are intermingled with the working of the judiciary. Based on the empirical evidence from Maharashtra, a few observations can be drawn.
Highlighted as a major cause of delays, particularly in matrimonial disputes, the lady litigant is often unable to appear in court because of various social and economic constraints, according to lawyers and judges in the trial court.
Commuting to the taluka courts is often a challenge for litigants in talukas where villages are spread out. Several litigants in Maharashtra related how public transport in most rural areas was scarce or irregular, making it very difficult for litigants to reach the court in time. Litigants spend a great deal of time, energy and money in commuting back and forth from the court only to be able to comply with lengthy procedural requirements in the early stages of the case. Consequently, by the time the case reaches the crucial stage of recording evidence, most litigants are tired and have exhausted their financial resources to pursue the case with diligence any further.
Land-related cases, which comprise the majority of the litigation in taluka courts, face severe delays. Litigants attribute this not to the working of the courts but to the conduct of the supporting machinery —local revenue officials, lawyers and policemen.
Litigants speak of encountering corruption and overburdened local officials juggling tasks pertaining to various departments. For instance, the tehsildar, who must handle local revenue department matters, ensures the execution of partition decrees and also acts as the protection officer under the Domestic Violence Act.
As a combined consequence of irregular/scarce public transport, a corruption-ridden supporting machinery, work overload and laxity, delay occurs at the very first stage of the case — during service of summons. Researchers found that litigants had, on several occasions, come to the taluka court only to be met with another adjournment because "summons had not yet been served on the opposite party". Notes from an interview with a lawyer in a small taluka reveal that acknowledgment of receipt for notices served through R.P.A.D. (Registered Post Acknowledgement Due) to persons residing outside the taluka headquarters takes 6 to 7 months.
Another lawyer said that where notices are served through police stations, acknowledgments are not received at all.
In Maharashtra, the eligibility criterion that candidates applying for the post of a judge must have a mandated number of years of practice as a lawyer, has been relaxed.
Senior lawyers and judges suggest that this has placed the entire system of the trial court under threat —several young judges now over-viewing cases are fresh law-graduates with no experience in the practical working of the judiciary.
A lawyer in a busy district court in Maharashtra clarifies: "Many times, the lawyers have far more experience and knowledge than the judge, who is often a fresh graduate.
The situation then becomes tricky because the person in the deciding position is the one who lacks skill, experience and knowledge." Lacking the confidence, foresight and acumen to decide complex civil or criminal cases, young judges consequently tend to use every opportunity to adjourn the matter.
On the other hand, there still are judges in lower courts who have developed unique strategies to go beyond just "deciding cases" and are delivering justice.
These preliminary findings suggests that along with using the danda in the form of strict directions to the lower courts and reducing the disparity between the small number of judges and large quantum of cases, the judicial system needs to consider a creative overhaul in its structure and look outward towards making the justice delivery system more accessible.

The Islamization of Knowledge in the New Egypt
Well, when you've got totalitarian ambitions, and you've already started locking up dissenting journalists, what's the next logical step? If you're the Muslim Brotherhood's Mohamed Morsi, newly minted president of Egypt, it is obvious: start banning books.
Morsi's government has reportedly banned importation of A History of the Modern Middle East, a well-known textbook by William L. Cleveland (who died in 2006) and Martin P. Bunton. The Egyptian daily, Al-Ahram, says no reason was given for the ban. The reason, however, is patent to anyone familiar with the Muslim Brotherhood.
One of the highest Brotherhood priorities is the "Islamization of knowledge." That, as I've noted elsewhere, is the explicit purpose of the International Institute of Islamic Thought, a think-tank in Virginia that the Brotherhood founded in the early 1980s. IIIT's mission is to forge "a new synthesis of all knowledge in an Islamic epistemological framework" — to borrow the fitting description found in an important 2009 study, "The Muslim Brotherhood in the United States," written by Steven Merley for the Hudson Institute's Center on Islam, Democracy, and the Future of the Muslim World.

I'm waiting to see when Mohamed Morsi will literally call for the elimination of the Christians in Egypt. The Christians have already been attacked by the Muslim Brotherhood, but that was BEFORE Morsi was in power. I wonder how soon it will be when Morsi calls for the complete elimination of the Christians? And I'm not talking about anything as sophisticated as concentration camps. No, if you'll remember in Rwanda hundreds of thousands were killed with nothing more sophisticated than machetes. It CAN happen again, and it will under Morsi. The big question is, will the world sit by again as yet another real genocide is committed? This is not tiny Libya we're talking about, but Egypt. Will the world just look away if Morsi decides to eliminate a religious group he detests? This is the future Obama handed to the Egyptians on a silver plate when he threw Mubarak under the bus. I don't know how Obama and Hillary Clinton can live with themselves.

Yes. The progressives will do nothing to stop the slaughter of Christians. Remember, they believe Christianity is the problem. I believe that is why the progs are so tolerant of the Muslims. They believe the MB will do their dirty work for them.

Essentially right. No matter how much the Christians suffer in the Middle East, they don't care. The Right also essentially doesn't care; both Left and Right in the West are aligned with Muslim interests. The West is on its death march.

The koran requires that all kafirs be killed if they fail to convert to Islam and also that that any not killed be enslaved and heavily taxed. Islam reveals its own ugly self and you won't believe it? For shame!

There are many relevant commentaries at my blog regarding this issue. This commentary at PJM is decidedly on target.

This commentary demonstrates the immediate peril Christians are in due to the Islamic takeover. Sudan is Exhibit Number One, proving when politics and ideology trump morality.

Israel, with the de-Christianization of the West along with the US/EU Left/Right alignment to Muslim interests under way get prepared for a horrific struggle ahead. There are many of us in the West that support Israel but our governments are falling under the control of your and our enemies.

Shades of Mao's Cultural Revolution.
Isn't it every totalitarian's wet dream to eradicate any person or idea that doesn't support the dogma?
What is Morsi so afraid of ? Is Islam unsure of its claim to monopoly on the truth ?
The MSA's purpose is to indoctrinate young Muslims in the thought of Brotherhood founder Hassan al-Banna, among other Islamist luminaries.
Every time the MSA is mentioned, I think of this woman. Watch to the end

How is this any different from what our own government is doing as it acknowledges via NOAA and the USGCRP 2012-2021 report that it is using the social sciences and education and communication to create a mindset for global change via Sustainability and Climate Change (their words, not mine) regardless of temperatures or the actual hard science. If reality does not cooperate with the statist plans in the US, our government plans to use its monopoly powers over education and the compliant media to simply reshape our perceptions of the reality we encounter day to day.
I have written a great deal about how much this Administration is seeking to ground American education in emotion to change future voters filtering mindset. We still have the books but are educators consciously seek to redefine literacy and use discredited methods to prevent fluent deciphering of print from being common anymore.http://www.invisibleserfscollar.com/priming-delicate-minds-for-a-desired-disruptive-revolution-what-is-the-real-damage/
I wish that title was hyperbole but its is not. And to think that NSF has been giving grants to fund mind-altering systems thinking to boot.
At least in Egypt the censorship is visible. Ours has the same effect and is invisible with a sought permanent effect.
Much worse.

Yes, a less overt & obvious program to shape thinking & perceptions going on in the US but just as dogged and relentless.
Not to mention the Muslim Brotherhood's ongoing agenda of stealth jihad in the US and a Brotherhood friendly administration that has invited Mohammed Morsi in September.

"…These rituals remind us of the principles that we hold in common, and Islam's role in advancing justice, progress, tolerance, and the dignity of all human beings." –Barack Obama, quoted as he observed Ramadan
I fear for the Christians in the Middle East. It appears to be a gathering storm for them. They can expect no hope of relief from this administration, who appears to be attempting to change the mindset of Americans from, "Islamists are terrorists, who hate our way of life," to "we have much in common with their role in advancing justice, tolerance and dignity."
This is beyond the pale. I can't believe I would see the demise of America in my lifetime, but it is happening before my eyes. I am heartbroken and outraged at the same time. Just so we know what we are dealing with, here are some quotes from Obama. He can believe what he chooses, just so we all know.

Thank you for that link…great points of contrast. Around the time when Obama nixed National Prayer Day yet celebrated the next day with the Muslims by going to the mosque to pray, an islamic cleric stated that the day will come when the flag of islam will fly over the WH. I remember saying, it already is.

With the gov't (DHS, NOAA, SSAdmin with more to come, I'm sure)purchasing ammo like it's going out of style, it makes one wonder what the October surprise will be this election. When the WH openly welcomed Morsi, I believe it can be rightly assumed, relations between the current admin and the brotherhood are quite cozy. It was, afterall, our resources/military that were used in the overthrow of the gov'ts so the brotherhood could move into control. Sorry state of affairs worldwide no matter how you look at it. Thanks, Mr. McCarthy, for keeping us updated on our enemies.

One of the highest Brotherhood priorities is the "Islamization of knowledge."
The U.S. Army is the very opposite in that regard. The U.S. Army, as one of it's highest priorities, wants to ban all knowledge of Islam from within it's ranks. But then the Muslim Brotherhood and the U.S. Army both are striving to be Shariah complaint just by different paths, so there is really no conflict here between them.

Seems to coincide with Michelle Obama's comment's about "changing history" and the NASA administraitors outreach program to Muslims.
Anyone who doubts that the Islamiztion of the United States african american community is not a huge threat to our country and the goal of this administration is not paying attention.
The minor rift between Obama and some African American preachers should be monitored if not cultivated. Christianity is at risk.

i>IIIT's mission is to forge "a new synthesis of all knowledge in an Islamic epistemological framework" …
The deep thinkers at IIIT are taking on a tough nut. At its beginning, Islam came from a near vacuum from little could be drawn from the pagans in Western Arabia. It's an unkind but revealing fact that genetic selection going back at least a few thousand years before put the Arabs on worthless land. Thus was born the Arab gene pool. To disagree with that is to imagine that there had been no competition for the best lands, that the Arabs ended up selecting their dry, fallow, nearly waterless peninsula because they liked the climate.
This is why the Moslems expanded onto better land immediately after conquering the peninsula. It's also the reason Islam is the nastiest belief system in world history. Nasty land begets a nasty, deperate people. It is also why the "Islamic epistemological framework" had no choice but to start by borrowing at knife point from the Jews, Christians, Zoroasterians, and then the Hindus. Maybe the geniuses at the IIIT will publish an historical of that.

"Islamic Epistemology" -LOL- after the world was treated to a "Bolshevik Epistemology" — and a "Germanic Epistemology" ?!? — How well did those latter two work out? Where are they now? At the price of how many millions killed? Why were they unsuccessful despite all of that "reeducation"?
Did Hitler and Lenin/Stalin not forget the essential METAPHYSICAL question? Concerning reality? And that (for all his shortcomings) Aristotle had a better key to that than Plato and Kant put together, that therefore their task was impossible? How long will Morsi need to discover the same? How many dead bodies will it take?!
Sad only the multi-million dead before that fact will be (re)established, also for Islam. Aristotle was real, as was his nearest (Christian) "descendant", Spinoza (an ostracized Jew); Allah is pure fiction. Therefore, reality will win. — Only, pity the spilled blood! Weep for the ruined lives! Curse the looters, old and new! Double-curse their useful idiots!

Even here in Indonesia, the 'world's largest Muslim democracy,' the Islamists are calling the shots, and a major publishing company,Gramedia, not long ago engaged in an official book-burning, overseen by senior Muslim 'scholars' to ensure suppression of material deemed haram.

Once we have the Sociopath-in-Chief out of office we must prosecute him for his many and various crimes and and lock his worthless backside up for life.The 69 million fools who put "it" in the White House need to repent in sackcloth and ashes. Every one of his executive orders needs to be rescinded.
We should cut the size of Government by about 80% and prohibit any federal borrowing for any reason. We must repudiate the national debt, end the Fed and go on the gold standard. Americans must have the maximum freedom possible in all areas of life. Finally, we must exile all the Reid, Pelosi, Holder types to a radioactive atoll far out in the Pacific and help them, thus, to repent.September 15, 2012 - 8:48 pm Link to this Comment | Reply

February 26, 1999 MEDIA CONTACT: Kirsten Birkeland, 360/546-9602, email@example.com LOCAL RESEARCHER TO SPEAK AT NATIONAL CONFERENCE ON MARINE CONSERVATION Bruce Babbit expected to attend VANCOUVER, Wash. -- A marine biologist will be leaving his Washington State University at Vancouver office for the sunny climes of Hawaii next week. He will share his expertise with U.S. Secretary of the Interior Bruce Babbitt and others as the U.S. Task Force on Marine Conservation gathers on the island of Maui to discuss how to conserve and protect the nation's coral reefs. WSU Vancouver professor Brian Tissot is one of 12 marine conservation experts from around the country invited to speak at the Center for Marine Conservation Symposium March 5-7 in Wailea, Maui. Hosted by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the symposium is an informational session to the U.S. Task Force on Marine Conservation, an advisory body created by President Clinton last year to oversee coral reef conservation in the United States. In addition to Babbitt, the task force includes U.S. Secretary of Commerce William Daley and representatives from the Environmental Protection Agency, NOAA and Department of the Interior. The focus on coral reefs is an important one, says Tissot, noting that the areas are, in many ways, similar to the world's rainforests. "These environments contain thousands of species that have yet to be identified. And, just like the rain forest, the coral reefs contain some significant sources of pharmaceutical knowledge that can never be duplicated," he said. "Conserving and protecting these areas is extremely important." The trip to Hawaii will be a familiar one for Tissot, who joined WSU Vancouver this fall after spending six years on the faculty at the University of Hawaii at Hilo, where he conducted research on the ecology of coral reefs. He is currently working with NOAA to monitor long-term community level changes and biological impacts related to coral reef communities in Hawaii. He is the coordinator of science programs at WSU Vancouver, and recently helped institute a new program in natural resource sciences.
