- This article is about the band. For other uses, see Audra (disambiguation).
Audra is an Arizona-based band formed in 1991 in Mesa, Arizona by brothers Bret and Bart Helm.
Audra broke out onto the national scene in 2000 when they signed with indie label Projekt Records. After two well-received albums and over 300 live performances, the band decided to leave Projekt and go back to the DIY approach that started their career in the 1990s.
The band gained the attention of Davey Havok, lead singer of AFI, who chose Audra's Going to the Theatre (2002) as one of his top 10 albums of the year. The next year, Alternative Press magazine selected Audra as one of the top 10 bands on the scene. Eleven songs from their first two albums were featured throughout three seasons of MTV's The Real World and several independent films.
On May 19, 2009, Audra released Everything Changes, their first album in seven years. It was recorded in Tempe, Arizona at Uranus Recording (owned by Robin Wilson, lead singer of Gin Blossoms, and produced by Robb Vallier (Dave Stewart, Paul McCartney, Wailing Souls, Peter Murphy).
Audra was added to a couple of dates on the Nitzer Ebb tour at the end of 2009 and opened for AFI on January 30, 2010.
Also worth noting is that Bret Helm of Audra has a mildly popular YouTube channel, "Bret Helm's Life On This Planet".

KOCHI: Mohammed Shareef, 37, a resident of Thrissur, was deported to Cochin International Airport Limited from Dubai after the airport authorities there reportedly detected that a life-long ban was in force against his entry. He left for Dubai on a visiting visa on Saturday. He had worked in a supermarket in Dubai for nine years from 1997.
He had cancelled his visa in 2006 before returning home. The reason for imposing the ban is not known, emigration sources said. Emigration officials also offloaded eight passengers bound for various destinations.
One carried an expired passport; while two women, who were to work as housemaids, were without job agreement.

I followed the instructions to remove the front section then I completely removed the tumbler. I placed the belt in the groove making sure it stayed flat, pulled it tight and secured it with a zip tie. Put the tumbler back in with the looped part of the belt facing the motor, then I put the front section back together.Next from the rear access panel I held the belt tight with my left hand and cut the zip tie with my right . Still keeping the belt tight I looped it around the motor and spring tension retainer. From start to finish it took about forty minutes.

Homeolab USA, Tinnitus, Symptom Relief, 90 Chewable Tablets
By Homeolab USA8 Reviews
Expiration Date:?Jan 2020
Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?0.17 lbs (0.08 kg)
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

A well-priced, temporary, but effective homeopathic solution to ear ringing and/or itching. I use it at night before I go to sleep to shut out the ocean sound and stop the occasional inner ear itching.
Tried this for two weeks didn't make much difference but this may just be me

Vermonts shortage of moderately priced housing is a real problem for thousands of Vermont households. In fact, observers currently estimate a shortfall of 22,000 apartment units and 12,000 single-family homes. Building additional new moderately-priced homes will not only begin to satisfy our housing needs, but it will also help bring prices into a range that more working Vermonters can afford. Right now, legislative leaders and advocates are working hard to bring divergent interests into alignment on the issue of new homebuilding. They are trying to balance our need for additional housing with environmental and growth-planning concerns. It is critically important to all Vermonters that we find common ground and pass a law that breaks the housing logjam that forms when Vermonters whose homes dont match their present needs are forced to stay because there's nowhere else to go. Nationally, the sub-prime lending problem has been a major factor in the current economic slowdown and drop in housing starts. In Vermont, housing starts have a real impact on the economic well being of our state and of all Vermonters. Upwards of 8,000 Vermonters earn their living in our homebuilding sector, accounting for nearly 3% of all jobs in our state. If you add up all of the economic activity connected to homebuilding the builder, plus the loan officer at the bank, the seller and transporter of materials, the engineer, law clerk and architect and so on homebuilding accounts for nearly 20% of our annual state economic activity. Actual construction jobs are responsible for more than 8% of our state's annual economic output. So you might say that when housing get the sniffles, Vermont comes down with a cold. Whats more, employers all over our state tell us that one of the greatest obstacles to expansion in Vermont is the lack of housing options for employees and prospective employees. Increased opportunity to rent or buy a moderately priced home will make any working Vermonter's paycheck go farther. Moreover, 60% of Vermont's housing stock was built before World War II. Most of those homes lack the energy efficiency features of newer housing, which results not only in higher heating and utility costs but also in a greater environmental impact. To frame the solution in simple terms, making more land available for new homebuilding, providing incentives for new housing starts, and carefully easing some of our permitting and regulatory requirements will help bring new home costs down. In the Vermont State House, we must have compromise if we are to make progress. Vermont needs housing. We need strong villages, downtowns and rural communities that reflect local values. And Vermont needs people young people and families who can only afford moderately priced homes. You can help. Call your legislators and let them know that housing is important to you, and that you support compromise to expand housing opportunities for everyone in our state.

I think this piece came about from me complaining to Jarrod that all he sculpts is big guys with big biceps and big triceps. I think I bascially dared him to sculpt a little girl!
January 11th, 2010 #5
Damn this is sweet...great concept and great sculpt! Is there any chance of this being reproduced once it's finished? I would definitely buy one.
January 11th, 2010 #6
I love this one J, it's got that mythical feel to it that just really strikes me.
(You know how much I like "kid with a giant monster" designs)
Also, are you doing the live-feed sculpting groups anymore?
January 16th, 2010 #7
You rock , we were happy to participate in that last contest. Thanks
whatup, the webcast might get going again, Justin.tv started glitching to the point of uselessness, might use Ustream.
here is some of the big dragon demo from our board
the pose is fluid and general as the armature lengths and limbs are determined.
here are some shots with my hands just because I thought it would make it look like it was happenning, it seems kinda corny now but with a photo demo I was just trying different things.
January 16th, 2010 #8
thanks guys, glad you like the demos, I'm trying to improve them . Yes the book will basically be the Komodo King demo , pics of Brandon with famous sculptors - http://www.shiflettbrothers.com/foru...c&topicID=1974, and this Dragon.
Hoepfully the hand coming in with the super glue implies me just coating the floral wire with glue.
Brian , yes the gloves are for mixing the bondo , or 2-part epoxy , here I'm using again the Billy Mayes Mighty Putty, it's white, and you can see it in some of his crucial point or points that I think might be stressed fro some reason later on. You don't want that stuff on your hands, trying to cure in your pores. I hit my hands with just a sprinkle of baby powder and they slide right into some latex or non-latex gloves.
and of course our process is additive, we're never going to stick on a big clump and try to work it, what we do is add small pieces over and over, almost like dripping a sand castle but horizontally. Small blobs and strips of clay and eventually the form grows.
we'll build up the places first that I think will be the bulkiest , and so it feels safe to start sticking clay there, his belly and his head. I like monsters to have big heads, the Noynub for example, they seem more monstorous, but it also makes them subconciously feel more like children with the big head proportions.
January 16th, 2010 #9
I will start out trying to make an evil devil monster, and it slowly turns into something cute, so this time I'm really trying Not to " go Goofy' or sympathetic, this is a beautiful, but evil f'n dragon this time, hopefully.I like to get an early pissed eye, he's shocked and insulted that you would want to fight him, and ready to bite.
this is not a pleasing shot of the head, but I wanted to show where I started to pose him again, I've leaned him over to the left, just to see what happens. It's a bit more quizzical.
January 16th, 2010 #10
January 16th, 2010 #11
lots of pose changes, this is our process, always wondering what might possibly be a cooler dynamic between the two characters
January 18th, 2010 #12
The final pose you went with captured the feeling perfectly. great piece
January 18th, 2010 #13
Man-o-man, Jarrod, this is going to end up being one of my
favorite SB pieces! My daughter (8-yrs.old) is SOOOOOO into dinosaurs,
dragons, monsters and creatures of all kinds and she is going
to flip out when she sees this. She's got a pet leopard gecko
named Coraline (after the movie, of course), and anything dino,
dragon or lizard-like is right up her alley (and mine!). Just awesome!
Out of curiosity, what happened to the original piece?

Troy boy
whatup. Excellent Brad Pitt from Troy you did, you nailed that.
The pose changed about half a dozen times on this dragon, that's a lot of moving for the armature, we will usually move it into about 2 or 3 poses before we are happy. Is that what you mean, what happenned to the pose?
The sculpt itself is still in sculpey and I hope to finish it next. Thanks for coming into our forum. You are keeping a consistent level of quality in the stuff you are doing Brandon and I have noticed. word
February 3rd, 2010 #15
Thanks J, that's extremely kind of you to say. You and Brandon have always been a HUGE
influence and I hope we get a chance to meet and throw back a couple of beers one of these days.
As far as the dragon,....yeah, I guess i just got confused from the first pics, where it looked like
everything was completed (and you mentioned it was baked and primered), to the later pics with
just the dragon. I guess that was a completely separate sculpt that was strictly done as a tutorial
for the webcast? Whatever the case, awesome as always.

New Uses for Office Supplies
Packing tape, paper clips, and more creative uses for desk accessories.
Hang a clipboard on the wall (or inside a cabinet) to clamp down on place mats—and that old "I can't find them!" excuse from the person setting the table.
Personalize key tags and attach to glass stems with a decorative ribbon. This way, each guest can fill their own glass with whatever tastes right!
Sending Grandpa a shot of the all-star soccer team but don't want the postal journey to bend it (like Beckham)? Sandwich the picture between the large panels of a flattened box.
Use leftover, adhesive gift tags to label file folders. Holly leaves = medical records, Santa = bills (obviously—you owe him for the bike, the LEGOS, the dollhouse…).
Spell out guests' names with adhesive letters (or write them with a permanent marker); send the mini gourds home as party favors.
To get a tiny sequin in just the right spot during your next craft project, use the tip of a chopstick to nudge it into place without gumming up your fingers.
Has your iPod player rendered that stack of CDs useless? Collect the spare sleeves, fill with confetti, and pass out to guests so they're prepared to send off the happy couple.
This frilly tissue paper wrap makes a birthday treat even sweeter. Cut a circle and gently gather it around the bottom of the cupcake, securing with a rubber band.
Get a grip on a tricky top; wrap a rubber band around a slippery or sticky lid to give yourself some extra oomph.
Secure a cupcake liner over the top of a jar with a rubber band. It can be a temporary fix if you've lost the lid, a pretty solution to keep flies out of the lemonade, or a cute topper for a gift-in-a-jar.
Admit it: You've always wanted to unfurl an entire stack of Post-its. Here's your chance. Gently attach one end to a wall and spread the stack across without pulling too tight (you don't want the sheets to come un-stuck) to make a quick, graphic garland.
Turn plain white cups into custom-designed party wear with simple dot stickers, available at any office supply store.
Clip one end of the spool to keep the ribbon from unfurling in your giftwrap drawer.
Distinguishing chicken salad from tuna is no picnic. Next time you're packing sandwiches, stretch a thick rubber band around each one and label it with a permanent marker. Divvying up lunch will be a snap.
Oh, that's grandma dressed as an alligator? Perfect for wrapping her birthday gift. (And the fridge door is full anyway.)
Pack delicate items. Wrap frames and figurines with several pieces of newspaper, and then crumple the remaining sections to fill extra space in the box.
To prevent a smelly, waterlogged sponge, air-dry it in a binder clip away from the sink.
Keep tables safe from water rings. Cut up corkboard to make coasters and place mats.
Too cold to hunt down the real deal? Use a jewel case to clear the frost from your windshield.
Safeguard your taste buds during holiday card season. Replace a dried out ink pad with a damp sponge and use it to seal envelopes and attach stamps—no licking required.
Make jazzy (or rockin') invitations. Jot down party details on the shiny side and mail the CD out in a cushioned envelope (postage: about a dollar).
Make a clip-on key chain/money holder that's ideal for your morning walk. Take a 1¼-inch binder clip and pinch one of the wire arms toward the center to release it from its hinge. Slide on your key and refasten. Clamp to your waistband with a few bucks for coffee and a paper. No more wondering where to stash your key and cash.
Dialed back on late nights? Corral some clutter with that poker caddy. Glue a poker chip to the bottom of each slot, then close the gaps on the sides with playing cards to create compartments for stray pens and pencils.
You'll never spend a penny on a bookmark, plus you'll get a special surprise each time you pick up your book.
Temporarily replace a broken zipper tab by threading a paper clip through the hole. A safety pin also works. Submitted by: Katie12
Corral boxes of waxed paper, aluminum foil and plastic wrap in a magazine file. Submitted by chels926
Secure half-eaten bags of potato chips with a binder clip for an easy way to keep your favorite snack fresh and crunchy.
Use paper clips to keep wrapping paper from unraveling.
When you've lost (another) backing to the Bermuda Triangle of jewelry, mosey on over to the junk drawer and cut out a small square from a thick rubber band.
Store sets of napkins clipped together and they'll always be ready to set the scene at dinnertime. You'll restore order to your linen closet and save minutes searching for elusive matching colors.
If you're the flaky type, cereal boxes (including the single-serving minis) can corral desk-drawer chaos. Slice off the tops and the bottoms and fill them with loose odds and ends.
If a key is sticking in the lock, scribble on its edges with a trusty number two. Graphite in the lead helps the key glide and turn more easily (so it also makes your day go more smoothly).
For tangle-free jewlery on the go, place chains and earrings on a length of wrap, roll tightly, and tape closed. Your necklaces will emerge from your suitcase ready to wear, even if the same can't be said for your clothes.
Use bubble wrap to save fruit and vegetables from bumps and bruises. Cut a piece to fit into the bottom of the refrigerator drawer as a pillow for your produce. Say goodbye to squished squashes or mushy mangoes.
Use a business card case to make packets of your favorite sweetener portable. You'll always have coffee your way―without a purse full of powder from torn packets.
Reduce handbag clutter by catalogging the family's club cards and gift cards according to store name. Your back will thank you for toting a lighter wallet around.
Separate foreign currency from American bills in your handbag or wallet so you don't mix up your paper trail.
For the 359 days of the year when you're not hauling cupcakes, use the cups to store jewelry or craft supplies.
Sort cookie sheets, cutting boards, and jelly-roll pans in the kitchen for easy access (and no more cymbal-crashing sounds) in an overstuffed cabinet.
Don't let your too-long belt tail get caught between your legs. Keep it in line with a small bit of Scotch. Neat.
Use this office supply staple to create an easy-to-update photo display. Stand clips on their flat ends and place pics between the two arms.
Showcase favorite walletsize photographs, or make a timeline of school portraits by stashing them in a business card file on your desk.
Size up a piece of fleamarket furniture. Checkbooks are roughly six inches long, making them ideal on-the-go measuring devices.
Liven up a child's chair with colorful stripes. (Use lead-free or plastic tape.)
To revive a dried-out eraser or clean a smudged one, lightly rub it over an emery board. The board's fine grain will shave off the eraser's old top layer, leaving you with a good-as-new mistake-removing surface.
Attach adhesive file-folder labels with the names of the cords' owners (for example, phone, computer, fax, and lamp; or TV, DVD, VCR, and phone) near the plugs. This way, you can quickly ID which cord belongs to which machine—and you won't unplug the wrong one.
Neatly split a cereal-box lid without breaking a nail–and the entire box!
Differentiate the cheddar, machego, and chèvre at a cheese-tasting party.
Introduce a signature dish—or at least make sure your brownie tray finds its way home from the potluck. Stick a label on the pan's bottom.
Find the number for your favorite restaurant faster by clipping its page in the phone book.
Corral bobby pins and hair clips in a paper clip holder. The magnetic ring makes them easy to dispense.
Dress up presents by running tissue through a shredder instead of scrunching it inside boxes and gift bags.
Feed colorful gift-wrapping tissue through your shredder to produce instant Easter-basket grass.
Anchor artwork against the wall. Cut erasers from a pair of pencils and glue them to the bottom corners of a frame for added stability.
If the backing for one of your studs goes AWOL, slice off a disk-shaped wedge from an eraser. The earring will stay put, even if your pencil looks denuded.
Keep a plaster wall from chipping when you hang a picture by placing a small piece of tape over the spot where you plan to hammer in the nail.
Make cleaning your computer keys simple: Slide a 2½-inch strip of tape between the rows of your keyboard. The adhesive side will remove dust and crumbs.
Fix a fallen hem when there's no time for a trip to the tailor.
Make your suitcase easier to identify. Stick a few pieces of duct tape to the sides of the bag to avoid the usual "Is that mine?" routine at the baggage carousel.
Gather loose bolts and nails in the garage by sticking them to a length of tape and layering another piece of tape on top.
Easily display a recipe card during meal prep by opening the CD case and bending it back as shown, then place the card (after cutting it to fit, if necessary) on top.
Stick the clip to the stove hood and your recipe is exactly where you need it, and end the daily dinner dance from recipe to stove and back.
Attach the sticky side of a shorter piece of masking tape to the sticky side of a larger piece. Then place the tape across the top of a container of, say, cocoa so that the ends adhere to the sides of the can. The next time you scoop, you can easily level off your helping and avoid cocoa-verload.
Instead of trashing an old (or extra) pad, save it from the landfill and put it to work as a trivet in the kitchen. (Be sure to use one with a nonplastic coating.) The best part? No more hot spots on your table.
To avoid dripping water all over your (or anyone else's) house on a rainy day, pop your wet umbrella into a bag as you cross the threshold. You can even tie the handles snugly and throw it back into your purse―unless, of course, your bumbershoot is of Mary Poppins proportions but your carpetbag isn't.
Unstick a stubborn zipper by rubbing the teeth on both sides with a pencil—graphite is an excellent lubricant.
To customize a standard linen shade, trim the seamed edges with a permanent marker in a shade that matches your decor. If you don't have a steady hand, use painter's tape to outline the area to be colored.
Neater and more attractive than Scotch tape (but just as easy to apply), self-adhesive photo corners make even the simplest wrap job look impressive.
For more OJ in your child's belly (and less on the kitchen floor) use rubber bands to provide some grip around a chilly glass so it doesn't slip through a child's small hands.
To control the inevitable juices that run all over the cutting board, place tomatoes in a measuring cup and chop with scissors instead.
You'll invest in a pizza wheel as soon as you install a brick oven in your kitchen. Until then, plain old kitchen shears will cut through crust and hot toppings without drama or fuss. If the pizza is really hot, use an oven mitt or tongs with your other hand to hold the crust while you cut.
Supplement potting mix by filling the bottom of a planter with leftover packing peanuts. They are lightweight and improve drainage, which promotes healthy roots.
Mark the end of a roll of clear packing tape by sticking a toothpick under the flap. No more wasting half the roll just to seal one box.
Use expired calendar pages to wrap gifts. Because the sheets are just the right size to cover paperback books and other small items, pictures from past months can find new life with a present.
Use various sizes to collect stamps, paper, and pens for writing notes or paying bills; stow markers to prevent ink stains; or keep paintbrushes moist during do-it-yourself projects.
Avoid drink mix-ups by color-coding cups with electrical tape at a birthday party.
Organize desk supplies like thumbtacks and paper clips, or corral small sewing notions such as buttons, beads, thimbles, and thread.
Corral office tools like scissors, letter openers, and rulers in a pretty pitcher on your desk.
To make your QWERTY cleaner, slide the adhesive strip of a sticky note through the crevices to collect and lift out dust and debris.
Cap an X-Acto knife before tossing it into a drawer.
Always have your pencils and PTA notes (or toddler's crayons and doodle paper) in the same spot: Just punch holes along the nonzippered edge of a sandwich bag, then click it into a three-ring binder.
Keep your tools from sliding out of your hand by wrapping the handle with double-sided tape.
Tape a piece onto each sole of new, slippery shoes for added traction.
Add extra oomph to your backhand by making your racket more comfortable to grip. Simply wrap the handle with electrical tape for additional (colorful) cushioning.
When you're moving, tape nails to the backs of framed works of art so the appropriate hardware will be handy.
Add a snazzy touch to a gift in a snap. Instead of tracking down a bow, stretch several colored bands around the box. Bonus: You can slide a card under the bands.

Operating in Canada
|Canada's National Amateur Radio Society
|"We're ALL about Amateur Radio!"
Operating in Canada
Canada/USA Reciprocal Operation
Questions about Operating an Amateur Station in Canada
Amateur Radio Certificate Information for Canadians
Industry Canada Regulatory Information Circulars:
Questions about Operating an Amateur Station in Canada
Q - I hold a CEPT licence. Can I operate inCanada?
A - Yes, provided your CEPT licence was issued by a CEPT member country. See the CEPT permit page on this web site for all the necessary information.
Q - I hold an IARP permit. Can I operate in Canada?
A - Yes. See the IARP permit page on this web site for all the necessary information.
Q - What do I have to do to get a Canadian amateur radio Certificate and call sign?
A - You must pass the Canadian amateur radio examinations and obtain the Certificates which are required for the operating privileges that you desire. You may obtain a Canadian Station Call Sign once you have your Certificate and provided you have a Canadian address for your station. See our web page on How to get Started in Amateur Radio
Information is also available in Documents RBR-4 and RIC-3 available on the Industry Canada web site. Please send questions about documents to
Q - What is the Canadian Licence Fee?
A - There is no Licence fee. Your first call sign is provided free of charge, and any subsequent call signs will cost $60 each.
Q - Where can I find information on Canadian sub-bands and operating modes?
A - Industry Canada no longer mandates sub-bands for Canadian radio amateurs. Canadian amateurs recognize that other countries do, and that cooperation is necessary to avoid problems. RAC has developed compatible band plans, available on this web site. We encourage visitors to comply with these sub-bands and modes.
Q - I have passed my national amateur radio examination whose Morse Code test requirements exceed the Canadian 5 wpm requirement. Will Industry Canada allow me credit for my Morse qualification toward a Canadian Certificate?
A - Credit can be granted if there is an examination reciprocity agreement between your country and Canada. However, such an agreement does NOT exist between Canada and the USA or Canada and the United Kingdom.
Q - My country is not a CEPT member country and is not a signatory of IARP. How do I get permission to operate when I am visiting Canada?
A - You can get permission to operate if your country has a reciprocal agreement with Canada. You can check that on this web site under Reciprocal Agreements or RIC-3 of the Industry Canada documents. If your country has a reciprocal operating agreement with Canada, you can get permission in two ways.
You may apply by mail to
Industry Canada
E-mail address
You should provide a photocopy of your current licence and state the level of amateur radio qualification you possess. You should state the itinerary for your visit to Canada, giving the dates and addresses where you will be visiting as best as you know them. It is helpful if there is at least one address at which there is someone who will always know how to contact you during your trip. Industry Canada will then provide you with a letter of permission to operate. Industry Canada has not required payment of a licence fee for visitors operating in Canada. If applying by mail, you should apply as far in advance as possible; at least a month in advance is prudent. Bring your amateur radio licence with you when you come to Canada.
If on arrival in Canada you will be in a city that has an Industry Canada District Office, you can go to the office and apply in person. You must have your licence with you.
If your country does not have a reciprocal operating agreement with Canada and is not a CEPT or IARP member, then you will not be able to operate in Canada unless you write the Canadian amateur radio examinations and obtain a Canadian Certificate and call sign.
Q - I am an amateur radio operator with an amateur radio licence from a country other than Canada. While in Canada I am operating under the reciprocal operating agreement between Canada and my country. If I write the Canadian amateur radio examinations and obtain a Canadian certificate, can I continue to operate under the reciprocal arrangement using my home call sign?
A - No. Once you have obtained a Canadian amateur radio certificate, you must operate using your Canadian call sign with operating privileges in accordance with the Canadian amateur radio qualifications you hold. In general, you cannot use a licence from another country to gain operating privileges in Canada exceeding those permitted by your Canadian certificates.

Batesville, Tech split again
The Batesville Pioneers and Greene County Tech Eagles played another of their 5A-East District baseball dandies Tuesday night at the North Complex, and the outcome was the same it's been in three of the last four seasons.
Both teams left the park with a win, a loss and mixed feelings. Batesville won the opener 3-2. Tech took the nightcap 6-4.
Beyond those similarities, forget it. You would be hard pressed to find a doubleheader with more unusual happenings.
Conway's Bre'Anna Hobbs signs with Lyon basketball
Bre'Anna Hobbs is the newest addition to the Lyon College women's basketball roster, the college announced.
Hobbs, a native of Conway, recently signed a national letter of intent to play for the Scots. She averaged just over eight points and seven rebounds a game this past season at Conway High School. She played a key role in the team's run to the state tournament this past season.
It was the second straight year Hobbs made a tournament appearance, leading Conway Christian to the tournament in her junior season.
Southerners win in close one, big against Cavemen
SOUTHSIDE — After winning a close one, the Southside Southerners finished off their 4A-2 District baseball doubleheader with Cave City in another fashion.
The Southerners won the opener 6-5 when Jared Dahl scored in the bottom of the seventh inning. The Southerners won the nightcap 10-3 as Tyler Goad pitched a 4-hitter and Dahl hit three for four, including a 2-run homer.
In the opener, Dalton Littleton hit two doubles, Dahl added a 2-run double and Jace Dunegan doubled for Southside. Dahl pitched the first six innings. Colby Sutton relieved and got the win.
Games with Nettleton, BHS Senior Night reset
With the rescheduling of the Nettleton-at-Batesville, 5A-East District baseball doubleheader, so was Batesville's Senior Night ceremony.
The home games today with the Greene County Tech Eagles were going to be the Pioneers' final home district doubleheader, and the date for Senior Night. Now, that activity will be part of the games with Nettleton on May 6. That doubleheader was postponed on March 29 due to wet fields.
Southside soccer finish with rush, league win
PARAGOULD — The Southside Southerners scored two goals in the final seven minutes of regulation and then won a shootout to snare a 6-4 victory over the Crowley's Ridge Academy Falcons in a 4A-3 Conference high school soccer match here Friday.
"It was one of those crazy games," Southside Coach Jason Weaver said. "One that gives a coach gray hairs. It seemed like every bad bounce that could happen, happened to us, but the guys scraped and scrambled and found a way to win when it would have been easy to quit."
New 1040 Tax Run champ known for boxing, basketball
Kristen Treadway, the new 1040 Tax Fun Run champion, isn't new to running.
How else can you describe the life of a 24-year-old homemaker, mother of two and professional boxer.
The annual 5-kilometer race that starts and finishes at Eagle Mountain Elementary fit nicely into Treadway's training schedule, so that's why she joined the 100-plus other runners and walkers on this past weekend's windy, colder-than-expected Saturday morning.
Scots get one of three against league leaders
The Lyon Scots baseball team won one of three against the conference-leading Trevecca Nazarene Trojans during a TranSouth Athletic Conference series at Scots Field.
The 3-game series was originally scheduled for Trevecca's campus in Nashville, Tenn., but the threat of rain forced the move to Batesville.
Undeterred by the unexpected 350-mile trip and an early 3-1 deficit, the Trojans collected a 13-3, 9-inning victory Friday.
Lyon (15-25, 4-13) responded with a 1-0 tilt in Saturday's opener and then the visitors left town with a 10-0 decision.
Lyon notches first against MMC
The Lyon College Scots earned their first-ever softball win over the Martin Methodist RedHawks Saturday at Scots Field, according to a news release from Lyon's sports information department.
Then they doubled up.
Tara Mitchell picked up the complete-game victory in the circle for the Scots in the first game, shutting out the RedHawks, 1-0. Mitchell earned her sixth win of the season as she allowed six hits and struck out a pair.
TranSouth baseball games moved to Lyon
Trevecca Nazarene and Lyon have agreed to move their 3-game TranSouth Athletic Conference series to Batesville due the threat of rain in Nashville, Tenn.
The series is set to open at 3 p.m. today and a doubleheader is slated for Saturday afternoon.
Mother Nature has the most wins at Batesville Motor Speedway this season and she collected her latest victory today as BMS canceled its points racing scheduled for tonight.
Matthews leads BHS to track, field crown
PARAGOULD — The Batesville Lady Pioneers won a team title here Thursday at the Arnold Relays as senior Mollie Matthews won two individual races and anchored a winning relay.
The Lady Pioneers totaled 88 points. They finished 15 points ahead of the Valley View Lady Blazers and another five points in front of the Jonesboro Lady Hurricane. Twenty-eight teams competed.
"Every team in our district (5A-East) was there but Forrest City, so it gave us an idea about what our district meet could be like," Lady Pioneer Coach Stuart Smith said.
Pioneers start fast again, push win streak to seven
NEWPORT — The Batesville Pioneers got off to another quick start and scored another run-ruled decision here Thursday while collecting their seventh victory in a row.
The Pioneers scored five runs in the first inning and went on to defeat the Newport Greyhounds 10-0 in six innings. The Pioneers have scored no less than five runs in the first inning of their last three games.
Sophomore Landon Gillmore led the way. The right-hander pitched five innings of 2-hit ball, and he hit two for four. His battery mate, junior catcher Hayden Cockrill, also hit two for four.
BHS soccer teams roll on
The Batesville Lady Pioneers and Pioneers kept the beat going in 5A-East District soccer Thursday evening in Pioneer Stadium.
The Lady Pioneers blanked the Greene County Tech Lady Eagles 5-0, and then the Pioneers shut out the Eagles 6-0.
Both Batesville squads are 4-0 in the conference. The Lady Pioneers are 9-2 overall. The Pioneers are 9-1-1.
Senior Erin Richards scored two goals for the Lady Pioneers. Lainey Rumans assisted on both off Richards' goals, and assisted on Kali Foreman's one score. Natalie Meinzer and Terran Jones scored on penalty kicks.

Nutrigenomics and the future of dietetics.
Dietetics professionals will play a central role in disease management and prevention in the years ahead in ways never before possible. (6,7) Clinicians will possess knowledge and skills unique within health care. Those in the community health and public policy arenas will understand the molecular basis for ethnic differences in nutrient requirements and will be in a position to develop effective dietary approaches tailored to each ethnic group. Dietetics professionals in the food sciences will use nutrigenomics to identify and isolate the bioactive components in food and will develop health-promoting functional foods. The need for education of consumers and health care professionals will be extensive and ongoing. Clearly, nutrigenomics will have a significant impact on the field of dietetics.
The concept of nutrigenomics is not new. What is new is the appreciation of its integral role in health and disease. The biological world has long benefited from the practical applications of this concept. From primitive unicellular microorganisms to the most highly evolved mammals, genetic mechanisms exist that allow information from the environment surrounding a cell to be transmitted to the genetic material deep within that cell. In elaborate signalling cascades that impact gene expression, bioactive components from food serve to inform the organism about the nutritional sufficiency of its environment. These same bioactive dietary components supply an organism with essential nutrients that, because of genetic mutations, the organism cannot synthesise and depends upon the environment to supply. The evolutionary process itself has been significantly impacted by the 'goodness-of-fit' between the genetic make-up of an organism and the food present in its environment.
Contribution of the Human Genome Project
The Human Genome Project has been the impetus for the development of nutrigenomics as it is emerging today. (8) This ambitious project, which began in 1990, was initially conceived as a 15-year multinational effort to identify the sequence of three billion nucleotides that comprise human genetic material. The project has been highly successful, has grown significantly in scope and is ongoing. Today the human genome sequence is virtually complete, the genomes of numerous other organisms have been sequenced and the focus has shifted to determining the products of these sequences and their roles in the function of organisms.
One of the earliest practical applications derived from the Human Genome Project has been in the field of pharmacogenomics, the study of genetic influences on drug metabolism. (9) For any given pharmaceutical, there are individuals within a population who benefit from the drug's action, those who derive little benefit and those who experience harmful side-effects. The underlying basis for this heterogeneous response within a population is the genetic heterogeneity with respect to key drug-metabolising enzymes. Specific genetic variants of these enzymes have been associated with particular drug responses. Diagnostic tests are now available that allow clinicians to detect which genetic variants an individual carries and predict that individual's response to a particular drug. Pharmacogenomics points up the advisability of matching pharmaceutical therapy with the drug-metabolising capabilities of the individual, abilities that derive from the individual's genetic make-up.
In many respects, nutrigenomics parallels the development of pharmacogenomics. As with pharmaceuticals, a number of key enzymes and metabolic reactions are involved with the digestion, absorption and metabolism of food. Genetic variations in these key processes lead to a population's heterogeneous response to diets in general and specific food components in particular. The ability to match foods to the genetically determined capability of using that food for positive benefit is crucial to an individual's optimal health. (10,11)
However, nutrigenomics differs from pharmacogenomics in several important aspects. Many decades of pharmacological research have led to a strong foundation of scientific knowledge, which has given rise to the practical applications of pharmacogenomics. In contrast, nutrition research is in its infancy. Unlike drugs, food is a complex mixture of numerous components. Furthermore, an individual's genetic material has been interacting with food components for its entire lifetime, which may have lasting physiological consequences as compared with the limited drug-genome interactions. These important differences will likely slow the entry of nutrigenomics into wide-spread application compared with the rapid entry of pharmacogenomics.
Impact of nutrigenomics on dietetics
Nutrigenomics will ultimately impact all of dietetics. Research in the food and nutrition sciences is central to understanding underlying mechanisms that form the basis for practical applications. From food science research will come insight into which bioactive food components effect genetic changes and how. These components will be isolated and added to commonly eaten foods or made available as dietary supplements. Food scientists will be instrumental in developing new functional foods that contain bioactive dietary components known to promote health and reduce disease burden. From nutrition research will come strong associations between genes and diseases, which in turn will lead to diagnostic tests for the detection of particular genes. Nutrition research will further identify the influence of the environment on the outcome of those associations and be the source of targeted, effective therapeutic interventions. There will likely evolve a universal set of dietary recommendations that are based on genetic considerations, with dietary guidelines for specific populations reflecting the predominant genetic composition of that population.
Research into consumer acceptance and concerns is another important component of this emerging field. It is not enough to develop foods that promote health. In order for nutrigenomics to be maximally useful for health promotion purposes, foods must be tasty, eye-appealing and convenient. Further, consumers must come to view their genetic make-up as simply another piece of important health information, similar to height, weight and blood pressure. Additionally, the ethical, legal and social implications of nutrigenomics are critical issues to address.
The application of nutrigenomics will not wait until the research base has been built. Potential applications of food and nutrition research vary widely, from maximising the nutritional composition of foods, to guiding the dietary recommendations of populations and individuals, to designing nutritional interventions targeted to particular genetic constitutions. In the clinical realm, dietetics practitioners will have the opportunity to expand from nutrition counselling to genetic counselling to a combination of the two as diagnostic tests become available that pinpoint the genetic basis for a disorder and help determine the appropriate lifestyle interventions. Education and communication skills are integral to all of these anticipated applications.
Preparing for the nutrigenomics era
The scope of dietetics is expanding as its central role in health promotion and disease prevention becomes established. (6,7) Preparing for this expanding role is challenging, yet essential. The initial impact of nutrigenomics on dietetics will be felt increasingly over the next decade and then will escalate as the research foundation clarifies the interactions among genes, environment and bioactive food components and provides the basis for using these food components to effect desirable outcomes. A thorough understanding of food and nutrition at the mechanistic level will be required. Dietetics professionals must develop a solid base of knowledge from the core sciences: biology, chemistry, biochemistry, physiology, food science and nutrition, with genetic principles and technologies integrated throughout. Critical thinking skills are essential in an age of science-based practice. A lifelong approach to learning is necessary in order to stay abreast of dietetics as the pace of discovery escalates. Communication skills of all types will continue to be important regardless of practice focus. An understanding of the psychosocial dimension of human behaviour will be needed in many areas of dietetics. The dietetics professional of tomorrow is more likely to be an entrepreneur than has been true in the past and will benefit from attaining business development and management skills.
It is unlikely that all this knowledge and expertise can be acquired in the undergraduate years alone. Nutrigenomics provides an opportunity to reconsider the education and training of dietetics professionals. To develop the level of competency required, graduate level training is highly desirable if not essential. Furthermore, the undergraduate program will likely offer tracks that steer students into one of several possible practice directions and will focus on the academic preparation needed for successful practice. The master's level graduate program would then focus on the practical training needed for specialty certification along with any additional educational needs. Graduates will then function as entry-level practitioners, laboratory associates, educators and entrepreneurs. Doctoral level programs would include extensive practical experience and prepare students to conduct independent research, develop nutrition policy, or practise as relatively autonomous health care professionals specialising in nutrigenomics.
The dietetics professional as thought leader
A number of issues will emerge that will need to be addressed by thought leaders within the dietetics field. Among these issues are certainly the ethical, social and legal issues alluded to earlier. Thought leaders will also grapple with the best diet for the human genome. Given that human genes have changed little over the past 10 000 years since the agricultural revolution, (12) would that diet more resemble human's ancient diet rather than the highly processed diet of today? If the cultivation of grains occurred late in human development, is it sound from a genetic perspective for today's diet to be heavily grain-based? To what extent can the diet be a universal one fine-tuned for genetically distinct populations?
Issues relating to nutrient requirements, recommendations for nutrient intake, and how best to, and even whether to, fortify food with nutrients and other bioactive food components must be addressed. The amounts of each nutrient will vary based on the genetic variation of an individual, with some requiring far greater levels of particular nutrients than what is currently thought to be the normal range. How will the era of genomics impact the development of global dietary recommendations? The impact of food fortification on the human species from an evolutionary perspective will need to be debated. Will food fortification lead to selection for genotypes that would not normally survive and are ill-suited for today's environment? These and many other issues with far-reaching consequences will be debated.
Nutrigenomics will be a major force in dietetics. Dietetics professionals have an unprecedented opportunity to carve out unique, valuable niches within the research and application sectors of dietetics and to serve as thought leaders as nutrigenomics is integrated into health care, the food industry and public policy.
