New Study: Telepresence Can Reduce Corporate CO2 Emissions by 5.5 Million Metric Tons and Deliver $19 Billion in Financial Benefits to U.S. and U.K. Economies by 2020
DALLAS and LONDON, June 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — According to a new study of large companies using telepresence technology, U.S. and U.K. businesses that substitute some business travel with telepresence can cut CO2 emissions by nearly 5.5 million metric tons in total – the greenhouse gas equivalent of removing more than one million passenger vehicles from the road for one year – and achieve total economy-wide financial benefits of almost $19 billion, by 2020.
Telepresence is a rapidly growing and increasingly popular technology that enables groups of people to meet and collaborate in multiple locations worldwide while feeling as if they were all in the same room together.
The study, "The Telepresence Revolution," was commissioned by the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) and sponsored by AT&T*.
Other conclusions of the study determined a business with $1 billion or more in annual revenue implementing four telepresence rooms could:
- Achieve a financial return on investment in as little as 15 months;
- Save nearly 900 business trips in the first year of using telepresence; and
- Reduce emissions by 2,271 metric tons over five years–the greenhouse gas equivalent of removing 434 passenger vehicles from the road for one year.
The study also revealed that telepresence technology can help speed decision-making, improve employee productivity, and provide workers with a better work-life balance.
The study was produced by Verdantix, an independent analyst research firm. Verdantix conducted in-depth interviews with executives of 15 Global 500 firms that are early adopters of telepresence – including Accenture, Aviva, EMC and Microsoft – and used the findings of those interviews to develop a new, detailed model to calculate the financial return on investment (ROI) and carbon reductions of telepresence. The model looks at projected telepresence adoption among companies with $1 billion or more in annual revenue and forecasts how the financial and carbon reduction benefits achieved by early adopters of telepresence would translate into economy-wide financial and environmental benefits in the U.S. and U.K. by 2020.
Carbon emission reductions among U.S. companies with annual revenues over $1 billion were forecast at approximately 4.6 million metric tons by 2020, the equivalent of removing more than 875,000 passenger vehicles from the road for one year. Among large U.K. companies, carbon emission reductions by 2020 were forecast at approximately 940,000 metric tons, the equivalent of removing more than 179,000 passenger vehicles from the road for one year. Total economy wide financial benefits that could be generated by 2020 as a result of large companies using telepresence in place of some business travel were forecast at over $15 billion for the U.S. and almost $4 billion in the U.K.
"Companies that invest in carbon cutting technologies and re-engineer the way they do business will not only be better placed to succeed as we transition to a low-carbon economy but can experience considerable business benefits during this transition," said CDP chief executive officer Paul Dickinson. "Telepresence is a good example of a low-carbon solution that can bring financial savings and increase productivity while reducing emissions."
Daniel T. Walsh, senior vice president of marketing services, AT&T Business Solutions said, "Business customers have spoken and their feedback is very powerful: Telepresence helps companies run their businesses better while allowing them to reduce their carbon emissions.
"This, plus the dramatic and speedy return on investment suggested in the findings are prompting companies to embrace this game-changing technology," he added. "Over the last year, AT&T has helped customers deploy hundreds of rooms globally, a trend that we expect will continue as companies start to reap the many benefits of telepresence usage."
In addition to the industry forecasts, the report cited benefits of telepresence already achieved by companies participating in the survey:
- Sak Nayagam, head of climate change solutions, Sustainability Services EALA at Accenture, said, "Since adopting telepresence, Accenture has expanded its network to include more than 50 telepresence rooms across the globe. The travel saved through their use would have accounted for 6,200 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions globally from November 2007 through August 2009. For us, it is not so much about eliminating travel but travelling smarter and maximising the time and value of our workforce."
- Zelda Bentham, senior environment manager of global insurance company Aviva, said, "We compared executives travelling from the nine months prior to telepresence with the nine months following implementation. From an air travel perspective, we observed a 25 percent carbon footprint reduction."
The study picks up where the "SMART 2020″ report, a separate initiative authored by the Climate Group in 2008, left off. "SMART 2020″ identified four key areas, including travel substitution, where greater use of the products and services from the Information, Communication and Technology (ICT) sector could reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 15% by 2020.

60% of Enterprise App Teams Struggle to Keep Projects on Time: Study
A recent Forrester study indicates that more than 60 percent of enterprise app teams struggle to keep development projects on time and on budget.
Yet another study has found that a majority of enterprise application teams are struggling to keep pace with project schedules. This new study, however, conducted by Forrester Consulting, offers the concept of "Integrated Thinking" as a solution. According to an October commissioned study conducted by Forrester on behalf of EffectiveUI–a software design and development firm, only 39 percent of business decision makers said they believe their internal IT organizations have the ability to regularly deliver projects on time and on budget. That leaves more than 60 percent going over time and over budget. Survey respondents listed a number of obstacles as the top reasons they struggle to keep up, including complexity of projects and silos within their organization. The Forrester study showed that 56 percent of respondents cited ever-changing business and user requirements as an obstacle, and 50 percent said they are trying to do too much at once. Meanwhile, 34 percent said they lack clear executive direction, 34 percent also pointed to a lack of the right development talent, and 32 percent cited a lack of stakeholder consensus as reasons why their application teams fall behind. One survey respondent pointed out, "All the business requirements delay it. The business folks … are giving too high-level of requirements and not helping IT get an accurate sense of what is a nice-to-have and what is a must-have."

Suu Kyi's release a military ploy?
Aung San Suu Kyi is an international hero, and rightfully so. The pro-democracy leader has spent 15 of the last 21 years under house arrest in Burma. But Suu Kyi says she that she has no ill feelings towards the brutal military junta for her interminable detention. All that she wants, she says unflinchingly, is a non-violent revolution. Suu Kyi, a paragon of integrity and determination, does not see this as a change-of-heart moment for the Burmese government. Cynics still believe that the military regime isn't keen on the restoration of anything like democracy in Burma. Nobel peace laureate Suu Kyi was released from house arrest three times before, but that had changed nothing for the oppressed people of the country. More than 2, 100 other political prisoners in Burma are still languishing in jail or are under house arrest. The elections held were obviously meant to fasten the general's tight hold on power. Many feel that Suu Kyi's fourth release is nothing more than a crafty ploy to gain some positive publicity for the dictatorial regime. Meanwhile, French President Nicolas Sarkozy claimed that the release was facilitated by China after he spoke to Hu Jintao about it. "On the freeing of Aung San Suu Kyi, the Chinese president helped me because I spoke about this person to Hu Jintao when he was visiting France in early November, " Sarkzoy said in a television interview. Also, officials claim that Suu Kyi and her National League for Democracy (NLD) are seeking a judicial order to reinstate it as a legal political party. The NLD lost its status in May after refusing to register for the Nov 7 general election, the first in more than 20 years. The party boycotted the election to protest a law that would have required it to drop Suu Kyi as a member if the NLD were to be put on the ballot. NLD lawyer Nyan Win said he would argue at the Supreme Court in Naypyitaw, the military government's capital, to restore the party's legal status. He said arguments in the case would take about 10 days. The NLD had won the previous national election, in 1990, by a landslide but was blocked from assuming power by the military. Meanwhile, Suu Kyi and UN chief Ban Ki-moon spoke on telephone and renewed demands for her country's ruling generals to release all remaining political prisoners. Ban had visited Myanmar last year but was not permitted to see the Suu Kyi who was at that time under house arrest.
Laureate Xiaobo's family will be absent at the Oslo ceremony
No members of jailed Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo's immediate family can come to Oslo to receive his Nobel Peace Prize, Nobel Institute director Geir Lundestad said. Lundestad also said that the December 10 prize ceremony would go ahead, but said the Nobel Peace Prize medal, diploma, and award of 10 million Swedish kronor (1. 04 million euros, 1. 4 million dollars) would not be handed out. It is the first time in the prize's 109-year-history that neither the laureate nor a representative will show up to receive the prestigious award.

About the Book
Americans toss out 140 million cell phones every year. We discard 2 million plastic bottles every five minutes. And our total credit-card debt as of July 2011 is $793 billion.
Plus, credit cards can make you fat.
The American Dream was founded on the belief that anyone dedicated to thrift and hard work could create opportunities and achieve a better life. Now that dream has been reduced to a hyperquantified desire for fancier clothes, sleeker cars, and larger homes. We've lost our way, but James Roberts argues that it's not too late to find it again. In Shiny Objects, he offers us an opportunity to examine our day-to-day habits, and once again strive for lives of quality over quantity.
Mining his years of research into the psychology of consumer behavior, Roberts gets to the heart of the often-surprising ways we make our purchasing decisions. What he and other researchers in his field have found is that no matter what our income level, Americans believe that we need more to live a good life. But as our standard of living has climbed over the past forty years, our self-reported "happiness levels" have flatlined.
Roberts isn't merely concerned with the GDP or big-ticket purchases—damaging spending habits play out countless times a day, in ways big and small: he demonstrates that even the amount we spend at our favorite fast-food joint increases anywhere from 60 to 100 percent when we use a credit card instead of cash. Every time we watch TV or turn on a radio we're exposed to marketing messages (experts estimate up to 3,000 of them daily). Consumption is king, and its toll is not just a financial one: relationships are suffering, too, as materialism encroaches on the time and value we give the people around us.
By shedding much-needed light on the science of spending, Roberts empowers readers to make smart changes, improve self-control, and curtail spending. The American Dream is still ours for the taking, and Shiny Objects is ultimately a hopeful statement about the power we each hold to redefine the pursuit of happiness.
Critical Praise
"Shiny Objects is a superb explanation of how, why, and when Americans became obsessed with consumption. This book is both entertaining and thought-provoking as it forces the reader to confront his or her own views and values. For that reason alone, it is worth its weight in gold." — Jim Randel, author of The Skinny on Willpower: How to Develop Self-Discipline
"Without shying away from the unpopular truth, Roberts encourages us to step back, notice, and yes, even laugh at our obsession with shiny objects. Important research findings and Practical exercises help us embrace our values and understand that we can never get enough of what we don't really need." — April Lane Benson, Ph.D. author of To Buy or Not to Buy: Why We Overshop and How to Stop
"Now along comes Shiny Objects, which promises to explore and explain Americans' possession obsession. Roberts' book contains hard evidence for some claims you probably already suspected were true... [and] includes some genuinely sobering statistics. Roberts knows his stuff." — Associated Press
"Roberts... gives us evidence that we can't buy happiness, or stress relief, despite the fact that the current version of the American Dream tells us otherwise. This [book] contains both the plain truth and real-world solutions for the financial dilemma many... are struggling with." — New Age Retailer
"Shiny Objects [is] an intellectual approach to an emotionally charged subject-consumerismwith suggestions on how to escape materialism and build a life with real meaning." — Shelf Awareness
"Marketing professor Roberts examines the perceived relationship between materialism and happiness in the quest for status, self-image, or comfort, and the havoc it is wreaking in individual lives and the U.S. economy. A far-reaching analysis of why we spend so much and how to break the habit." — Booklist
"Dr. James A. Roberts, professor of marketing at Baylor, has studied consumerism in America and has revealed some of the secrets of marketers in his recent book Shiny Objects: Why We Spend Money We Don't Have In Search of Happiness We Can't Buy." — Baylor Lariat
"An intriguing cultural historycumself-help book with abundant hard scientific data." — Publishers Weekly

Did Antonio Banderas cheat on Melanie Griffith? New reports suggest that the "Mask of Zoro" actor invited a young brazilin girl to a sex party, which he hosted at his home.
A Brazilian woman has reportedly told National Enquirer magazine that the actor bragged about sex parties when Melanie was away and even asked the brazilin woman to join the action, reported Celebdirty laundry. However, the young woman denied the offer of becoming the part of the action and felt sorry for Melanie. It is also understood that Melanie also hired help for dealing with Banderas' attitude.
However, in spite of the cheating reports it seems that Melanie is not affected and seems to be moving happily from her divorce. Much recently she was seen with actor Matt Dillon in Rome, said Inquister
Interestingly, contrary to these reports, a source had suggested that there was no cheating involved between the couple and they had just fallen out of love.
"There was no cheating on either side," the source told Us Weekly (quoted Belfast Telegrpah). "They had fallen out of love awhile ago. Their daughter Stella is about to be 18 in September and they wanted to wait until [the] kids were grown and out of the house before they split up, but knew they would awhile ago. They stayed together for the sake of the kids."
The couple had also went ahead and said in an official joint statement that they were separating amicably.
"We have thoughtfully and consensually decided to finalize our almost twenty year marriage in a loving and friendly manner honoring and respecting each other, our family and friends and the beautiful time we have spent together," the couple said in a joint statement reported the Inquister.

Red Mill Burgers: Phinney Ridge
Editor's Pick
• $ • Breakfast/Burgers
The good folks at Red Mill are both ahead of the times (cellphones are "just rude, dude") and behind them (no credit cards, please)—but let's talk about the here-and-now, because right this second you're craving their bacon deluxe with cheese. Order at the counter of one of John and Babe's three cozy burger shacks, duke it out for one of the oversize wood booths (or any seat at all, in this overpopulated joint), then wrap your maw around the kaiser bun with its thick juicy patty, topped with peppery bacon and dripping spicy mayo. Grab an order of cornmeal-crusted onion rings for good measure. It's quite simply the best burger in town—an opinion agreed upon by so many groupies, it's pretty much become fact. Veggie burgers too, along with fish-and-chips at the newest location by the Ballard locks.

But a really great ouch. I did not find rolfing that painful. Or atleast the pain that I felt was very justifiable, so I enjoyed it. And I really liked what it did for my body. I am the same way with any sort of body work. I like the feeling of good pain. I was on a cycling event, and a massage therapist was working on my legs. She was getting frustrated because she felt I should be screaming in pain, as she was really getting into my muscles. I was just breathing deaply and enjoying the pain. Does this make me a masochist?

Study finds that nurse-led rather than doctor-led care saves about $722 per patient
FRIDAY, March 6 (HealthDay News) -- A simpler, less costly method of diagnosing and treating obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is as effective as the traditional protocol that relies on specialist physicians and sleep studies, according to Australian researchers.
People with OSA experience 20 to 30 or more breathing interruptions an hour while they sleep. The condition, which may affect as many as 20 million to 30 million American adults, can cause cardiovascular problems, hypertension and other health issues. Daytime drowsiness caused by OSA also increases the risk of traffic crashes and workplace accidents.
In a study of almost 200 people with moderate to severe OSA, the Australian team compared the simplified diagnosis and treatment approach, which uses experienced nurses, home ambulatory diagnosis and auto-titrating continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machines, to the traditional approach.
People in the nurse-led group had an average of 0.18 physician consultations, compared with an average of 2.36 consultations in the physician-led group. There were no significant differences in outcomes, including levels of sleepiness, quality of life measures, ability to do maze tasks and CPAP adherence.
Diagnosis and treatment of people in the nurse-led group cost an average of $722 less than it did in the physician-led group.
"The main finding of the study was that the simplified model of care was not inferior to the usual physician-led, hospital-based model," Nick A. Antic, of the Adelaide Institute for Sleep Health, said in an American Thoracic Society news release.
"While we were not surprised at this finding, we were very pleased as it indicates a robust new avenue for providing better access to sleep services for those with moderate-severe OSA in a timely yet cost-effective fashion without sacrificing

Africa Health Placements: Stethoscope
Africa has a severe shortage of doctors and other healthcare professionals. So Africa Health Placements sent a direct mail containing a pressure activated device to recruit foreign doctors to work in Africa. Once opened, a message prompts doctors to place their stethoscope on the device, this activates a pre-recorded MP3 that speaks directly to them. The audio for the ad was recorded at a low level so that it was only audible through a stethoscope. Turning something that every doctor possesses into an advertising medium to create the world's first stethoscope radio ad.

Agencies and TNS
Dabur demerges pharma business
New Delhi, January 30 Approving the demerger here, the Board of Directors said Dabur India would now largely comprise the FMCG business that would include personal care products, healthcare products and Ayurvedic Specialities while the pharmaceuticals business would contain Allopathic, Oncology formulations and bulk drugs. Dabur Oncology Plc, a subsidiary of Dabur India, would also be part of the pharmaceutical business. The company has appointed Ernst & Young for implementing the demerger. Dabur India Vice-Chairman Anand Burman would continue to head the pharmaceuticals business. The company said the number of additional shares that would be allotted to existing Dabur shareholders and the name of the new pharmaceutical entity would be finalised soon. The new pharmaceuticals company would also seek listing in Stock Exchanges after getting necessary regulatory approvals. This move would help create a global presence for Daburs Pharmaceuticals business and provide focus to maximise penetration in global markets. The FMCG business would also benefit from this move as it will lead to better and more efficient management of its resources and facilitate more accurate benchmarking with industry, said Mr P.D. Narang, Dabur Group Director, Commercial and Corporate Affairs.
Tax website unveiled Jalandhar, January 30 The Chief Commissioner of Income Tax, Ludhiana, Mr Sudhakar Varma, after inaugurating the website here, said the website would provide information about current status of applications for PAN, latest refund position, status of processing of annual income tax returns. Besides, the site will enlist names and telephone numbers of all assessing officers of the Jalandhar I, Phagwara, Jalandhar II, Hoshiarpur, Jalandhar III and Jalandhar IV ranges.

Anand, Commissioner, Income Tax (Appeals) also attended the function.
Pay subsidy to PSEB: engineers Ludhiana, January 30 The petition has also pointed out that the PSERC order had also directed the government for payment of cash subsidy of Rs 100 crore in equal instalments starting from October. The petition maintains that the non payment of the subsidy by the government despite clear orders constitutes a deliberate violation of the orders issued under Section 29 of the ERC Act, 1998.
Oil firms staff to go on strike New Delhi, January 30 We have served a notice of complete strike in the oil PSUs from the day the government invites bids, Oil Sector Officers Association (OSOA) President Ashok Singh told newspersons here today. The strike will start with HPCL and see participation from all national oil companies, Mr Singh said. The strike call has been supported by trade union of public sector telecom and power companies. Mr Singh termed the opinion of the Attorney General on disinvestment of HPCL as misleading . Since HPCL was created by an Act of Parliament, the government is legally bound to repeal the Bill especially in the context of aims and objectives as enunciated at the time of establishment of HPCL. The AG has not gone with the spirit of the Act, Mr Singh said. A meeting of all unions of public sector undertakings will be convened next month to formulate the strategy.
PSIEC breakthrough in recovery
Chandigarh, January 30 Mr P.S. Aujla, Managing Director, PSIEC claimed that estimated recovery from the allottees to plots of Phase VIII A & B was around Rs 70 crore. Ranbaxy, which owes Rs 21 crore on account of enhanced cost, have also offered to discharge its liability and modalities are being finalised, said Mr Aujla. He disclosed that corporation has received the additional cost from about 150 allottees of small plots in Phase VIII focal point Mohali. Hindustan Times, 21st Century, Malbro Exim have also made full payments. He urged upon the defaulters to expedite remittances of additional cost, as further delay would add additional interest liability upon them.
Steel prices hit bicycle industry Steel prices are on fire. Steel has now become out of reach of the user industry. Industry already in deep slump cannot run even symbolically with the prevailing steel prices. Bicycle industry which is the hub of Punjabs economy is in such a bad shape that all sale avenues are fast drying up. Big and small are all in the same boat. In the matter of steel pricing Central Government itself is responsible. It has encouraged even erring companies to go in for the kill. On an average domestic steel prices have increased by around 45 per cent since March 2002. Prices have been hiked three times in the new year and seventh time since March 2002. This cannot happen without cartel zation, which in turn not possible without a hidden pat from government. How? Bank and Financial Institutions advanced Rs 35,000 crore to steel companies when the sector was passing through recession. The utilisation was not monitored. These companies also got Rs.15,000 crore which has gone up to 20,000 crore, with interest burden. There are reports that these companies were not only slack in implementing the project but had diverted funds to non-core business in power and tele-communication. This is a clear case of financial management. Under the securitisation Act these companies deserve punishment. Instead they have got a package. Industry big and small in other sectors is being subjected to harsh treatment. Under RBI guidelines such siphoning of funds to willful default and no fresh bank/financial institution money can be given. Will any -body in the government explain this aberrations? The soft package has emboldened the beleaguered companies to go in for the kill. Instead of capturing mere market share by reducing price they are increasing the prices. It is true that steel has become costlier in the international market. Had our companies reduced the rates earlier to match the international prices? C/S countries cannot dump steel due to upturn there. U.S.A. has restricted imports Chinas import of steel has continued to surge. In OECD countries steel capacities were curtailed during recessionary trend and shortage is felt now leading to rise in prices. Most of the steel scrap in the international market is going to China. Balance sheets of steel companies are open to public gaze. Profits are unprecedented and rising. At whos cost? Naturally the squeezing of the users is the ballooning of the producers. Will government antenna ever catch this sordid drama? The government can satisfy on the plea that are in the midst of free market economy. True. Can cartelisation be allowed any mode of economy? Then there are safety nets in the free market economy. To cool down the prices of any commodity import is the only solution. Import was to be such as to beat and over pricing of the domestic producers. To meet the current explosive situation imports should be encouraged by lowering duties. Some stingent conditions were imposed in the past to discourage imports to save the domestic steel producers. No user ever protested against this. Now to correcting the erring steel producers reversal of trend is the only answer. Duties may be brought nearer to zero level with no other condition like quality etc. in place. Industrial circles feel that government hardly believe version the affected industry. The government with its intelligent network should verify the facts on the ground. Any delay may cost the nation very heavily. The government may be feeling pretty comfortable with rising volumes of steel exports. But steel exporting is unable to compete. Exports of engineering goods will naturally decline. On balance nation may lose on net export on our hand and render vast section of industry sick if trend of steel prices goes unchecked.

The aim of this project is to explore whether the extinction of cue-reactivity following a cue-exposure based intervention in volunteers with an alcohol dependence is facilitated by drugs that increase NMDA-receptor function.
It is hypothesised that targeted treatment with D-Cycloserine prior to each extinction training session enhances the effects on cue-reactivity.
Further, a significant correlation between the reduction of cue-reactivity and both reduced craving and relapse probability is expected.

I have a 2004 Chevrolet Tahoe Z71 with 192000 miles on it. After I let it sit for a day and try to start it the next day the battery is completely drained. I had the battery and alternator checked and they are both good. I have no accessories or mods done to the Tahoe it's all stock. The only thing I can think of is there is a short somewhere because the compass and the temp flash on and off along with the passanger air bag warning. Also sometimes the radio will stay open when the door is open and the interior lights will turn off quickly when door is opened or not come on when door is opened? What can I look for? Pictures would be VERY HELPFUL PLEASE. :glasses:
You don't have a short, that would blow a fuse. You probably have a "feature" staying turned on and draining the battery. The door thing could be the problem, or it could be a 2nd problem. The door problem sounds like a bad "door open" switch. This switch is usually mounted to the door latching/handle assembly inside the door. the inner door panel needs to come off to access. The best way to find out what circuit is drawing current, is to disconnect the battery ground, insert an amp meter in series with the cable and battery, read (record if you need to) the current drain. Start pulling fuses until the current flow stops. Take the fuses out one at a time and reinsert the fuse before going to the next fuse. When the current flow stops, you know the fuse that is connected to the bad circuit. Sometimes a fuse will provide power to more than one circuit, if so, we can narrow it down.
Do you know the part number or what I should ask for for the "bad "door open" switch" I called advanced auto tryin to explain what I need and they said they didnt have such part?
Until you find the problem, install a kill switch so that a least you will be able to start the truck until you find the problem.
You probably can not buy the switch, too small a part to stock. You probably need to replace the complete assembly if you want a GM part. I'm not sure of the part number, this could be the complete assembly: http://www.gmpartsclub.com/chevrole...cat/doors-scat/?part_name=door-latch-assembly You can remove the existing assembly and just replace the switch, but you will need to go to an electronics part store for the switch. Btw, it could also be a broken wire that serves the switch.
IM GONNA TRY TO CHANGE OUT THE DOOR LATCH ASSEMBLY AND SEE IF THAT WORKS. I CAN GET IT FOR $160 AT MY LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER. THE PART NUMBER IS THE SAME PART NUMBER IN YOUR LINK. Part Number:15110643. I'LL KEEP YOU POSTED.
Keep in mind, I said that could a 2nd problem. However, it does need to be fixed and so, this is a good place to start.

COLUMBIA — It's safe to say the awkwardness is gone.
When Hickman wrestler Becca Schranck first stepped on to the mat as a sophomore, her opponent didn't see a fellow wrestler. Most saw a girl attempting to fit in and be a part of a male-dominated sport. The guys would worry about hurting her or accidentally touching her inappropriately.
The Hickman wrestling team beat both Moberly and Helias Catholic on Tuesday night in a three-way meet at Hickman. The Kewpies won 37-36 against Moberly and 47-24 against Helias.
Hickman senior Will Owens won both of his matches in the 195-pound division, including his match against Moberly's 2011 state qualifier John Orscheln.
"Will was never in any danger," Kewpies assistant coach Doug Gordon said. "He fought all the way through. We all wrestled pretty well tonight."
Hickman's two-time state champion J'den Cox did not wrestle tonight because neither team had a wrestler in his weight class.
Things have changed. Schranck, now a senior in the middle of her third wrestling season, has gained the respect of her teammates and coaches because of her personality and dedication.
"She has improved from the time she came in here to now," Kewpies coach J.D. Coffman said. "One of her biggest assets is that she's very gritty. She doesn't back down from anybody, and she keeps coming back day after day."
Even though she has gained respect, Schranck hasn't wrestled in many tournaments during her wrestling career. In each weight class, one individual wrestles varsity, and another wrestles junior varsity at each tournament. Anyone else in that weight class can challenge someone above for a spot in the next tournament. For most of Schranck's career, there have been two teammates above her on the depth chart.
"You'll find a lot of times girls in wrestling who are in a lighter weight class — sometimes that lighter weight class will have young freshmen boys — and a lot of times they aren't as mature as the girls are," Coffman said. "Sometimes the girls will have an advantage there. She's at a weight class now, 126 pounds, where there are four or five guys lined up, and she's not as physically strong as any of them right now. She has to work her way up."
Schranck doesn't mind that there isn't another girl on the team. Having grown up with two brothers, she became used to being around boys.
"When you're on a team with all females there is too much drama, and there is so much going on that I can't handle it," Schranck said. "I grew up with guys, so getting along with them is much easier. The whole team is like a family basically. Everyone is comfortable with each other."
Freshman Jeremiah Watson wrestles Schranck on a regular basis. They are both in the 126-pound weight class.
"She's really good," Watson said. "It's kind of weird wrestling a girl at first, but then you get used to it. It seems like you're wrestling a guy. She's a cool person."
Watson faced Schranck in practice on Monday. The match took place to determine who would wrestle junior varsity in the Tuesday's home event. Schranck lost and was an alternate against Moberly and Helias Catholic. Unless an injury occurs or one of the opponents has an extra wrestler, she will have to wait a little longer this season to wrestle in a match.
Even though she lost her challenge match, when Watson looked across the mat he didn't see just a girl. He didn't see an easy victory. He saw someone who he wrestles often and who is a tough adversary.
Above all else, he saw a wrestler.
"You know, not every girl can say that she was at least somewhat successful being on a wrestling team, and like, very few can even say that they've been on a wrestling team," Schranck said. "I like that it's really different and really hard."

(Lund, 1793)Diagnosis:Grooves on the carapace very inconspicuous. Tubercles of carapace and abdomen low, hairs inconspicuous. Pregastric and gastric teeth hardly if at all set off from the surface of the carapace. Cervical incision of the lateral margin hardly at all indicated. Carpus of first pereiopod with a large swollen hump in the upper basal part; a very shallow groove extends over this hump. Outline of the posterior margin of the pleura of the second abdominal somite concave in the middle through the presence of a strong tooth. No indication at all of a median carina on the abdominal somites. Second abdominal sternite of male evenly denticulate, without a deeper median incision. First abdominal somite dorsally in the middle with a well defined horseshoe-shaped spot, consisting of two rounded submedian spots, which are connected anteriorly. Type:Type locality of S. aequinoctialis: "seldom seen in Jamaica, though a native of those seas" (Browne, 1756:424). The male specimen figured by Browne is chosen as the lectotype of Lund's species; its present whereabouts are unknown.Type locality of Parribacus gerstaeckeri: "Atlantischer Ocean" Type material in ZMH.GeographicalDistribution:Western Atlantic, from S. Carolina (USA) and Bermuda via the West Indies to S. Brazil (São Paulo State), including the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea.Habitat and Biology:Depth range from 0.6 to 180 m, usually between 0.6 and 64 m; on a substrate of sand or rocks, often on outer reefs. The animals are sluggish and nocturnal and feed on (dead) animals, detritus, etc. They bury themselves in the sand.Size:Maximum total body length over 30 cm; carapace length up to about 12 cmInterest to Fisheries:The species is used as food, but is not of great economic importance; it is eaten mostly by the poorer people. Verrill (1912: 23) remarked that it "is not commonly sold in the markets" at Bermuda, and "is rarely used as food there" Morice (1958: 86) remarked that with Panulirus argus this species is the most common lobster in the market of Fort-de-France, Martinique. In Belize, the species "though occasionally caught, is never prepared for export and therefore is of no significance in the fishery" (Allsopp, 1968). Almost throughout its range S. aequinoctialis is eaten, but evidently not very highly esteemed. Its meat also serves as bait in lobsterpots. The animals are mostly taken in traps set for other species, but also with fixed gill nets and seines. It is sold fresh.

6th week of Test Prop cycle (400mg/wk)
6th week of Test Prop cycle (400mg/wk)
I'm in the 6th week of my Test Prop 400mg/wk cycle. About mid last week my right nipple has become very sensitive and has gotten a little worse.. I did get a little bit of gyno in my right nipple during my last cycle of only Sustanon which I thought I had cleared up with some letro. Maybe this could be a flair up of the same gyno before? This time it feels like there's a sensitive pea-sized mass right under and below my nipple, whereas before it was a larger lump and it was more lateral. I made the mistake of not running an AI during my Sus cycle but I made sure to run Arimidex this time at .5 eod. What are some of your opinions of what I should do? Bump up the Arimidex, run some letro or just drop the whole cycle all together? Thanks

I would bump up the adex to ED for a week or two, than see what happens.

Also with Test it's pretty simple to run a SERM as they are very selective and can in fact stop gyno all the while not killing estrogen too much and better for lipids.
Thanks for your help.. I've been running adex 0.5mg per day for about 4 days. My right nipple is still very tender, if not more. Also the lump seems a littler bigger, maybe that's in my head though.. Should I start the letro? Thought to be honest I would have no idea how to dose it, being at this stage in my cycle and with the fact that I'm already running adex. When I used letro previously I did it according to the tapering up/down method.

Angels 10, Mariners 9
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP)
Staring at a seven-run deficit with Seattle's Felix Hernandez on the mound Thursday night, the Los Angeles Angels could have been excused for starting to think about the weekend.
Instead, the Angels chipped, scrapped, surged, charged - and eventually eked out a stunning victory.
Alberto Callaspo drew a bases-loaded walk to bring home the tiebreaking run with two outs in the eighth inning, and the Angels rallied from that huge early deficit for a 10-9 victory over the Mariners.
Mike Trout matched his season high with four hits for the Angels, who trailed 8-1 after four innings. Peter Bourjos homered and had three hits, and he scored the tying run in the eighth during Los Angeles' final rally for its sixth win in eight games.
Nearly everybody in the Angels' lineup contributed to their monumental comeback, the second-largest in club history. After three months of mostly discouraging play, Los Angeles is on a decent roll - but nobody expects a rally like this one.
''It's a great effort from our club,'' Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. ''You're very rarely going to get down that much to a pitcher of Felix's caliber and come back. Our guys just did a great job. You just couldn't piece it together any better than they did.''
All of the good feelings in Los Angeles' clubhouse were matched by the gloom in Seattle, which dropped three of four in the series.
Kyle Seager matched his career high with four hits and drove in the tiebreaking run in the eighth during a gut-wrenching loss for the Mariners, who couldn't protect a huge lead even with Hernandez on the mound.
''Tonight was exciting, just going back and forth the whole night,'' Trout said. ''We got down seven (runs) early, and we just kept scratching out runs. We were just having fun. The excitement is there. We're all into the game.''
Mark Trumbo hit a three-run homer while the Angels tied a single-game club record with seven consecutive hits during a five-run fifth inning. Albert Pujols had two hits and drove in the tying run on a broken-bat single in the sixth.
''I just blew the lead,'' said Hernandez, who yielded 12 hits and seven runs in five innings. ''It's all my fault. Nobody else. Just me. There's no excuses. Actually, my fastball was fine, but I left the pitches up a little bit. They were being aggressive, and they scored some runs. There were a lot of broken-bat base hits, but it was my fault. But I'm not thinking about it.''
Seager had a homer and two doubles during the first four-hit game by a Seattle player this season. Josh Hamilton couldn't catch his sinking liner to right in the eighth, and Brendan Ryan scored to put Seattle up 9-8.
But Bourjos singled, stole second, advanced on a throwing error and tied it on Erick Aybar's RBI single off Carter Capps (2-2). Seattle walked Trumbo to load the bases with one out, and Ryan made a diving stop to force out Trout at the plate before Yoervis Medina walked Callaspo on four pitches.
''It's a tough game from an emotional standpoint,'' Seattle manager Eric Wedge said. ''You take that big lead and do a lot of good things, and then you give it back. I was proud that we fought back and scored a run and took the lead back, but they fought right back, too. That's why you play for nine innings, man. The bullpen just didn't quite get it done. Obviously, we had to go to them early.''
Ernesto Frieri pitched the ninth for his 17th save. Scott Downs (1-2) gave up Seager's double, but also got one out in the eighth.
Tommy Hanson yielded six hits and seven runs during the second-shortest start of his career, getting chased by Seattle without getting an out in the third.
But Hernandez couldn't finish despite having a 3-0 lead before he took the mound and an 8-1 advantage in the third. Trout had three hits off King Felix, improving to 14 for 30 in his short career against Seattle's star right-hander.
''Every now and again, you see that he is human,'' Wedge said. ''He was king of all over the place tonight.''
The Angels trailed 8-2 when Bourjos led off the fifth with his third homer of the season. The speedy outfielder hadn't homered since April 15 after missing 38 games with a hamstring injury.
The next six Angels also got hits, with Pujols driving in a run before Trumbo cleared the bases with a homer off the fake rock pile in center field.
Danny Farquhar intentionally walked Trout in the sixth to get to Pujols, who poked a broken-bat single into center to score Bourjos with the tying run.
NOTES: Despite making a sharp running catch at the wall in the ninth inning, Hamilton had yet another miserable game, going 0 for 4 with an RBI in the $125 million slugger's second game in the No. 7 slot in manager Mike Scioscia's order. He grounded into yet another double play in the seventh inning, and struck out with the bases loaded to end the eighth. ... The Angels set the club record with seven consecutive hits Aug. 31, 2002 against Baltimore. ... Angels RHP Dane De La Rosa had four strikeouts in two innings of one-hit relief.
