MetaBody Yoga & Fitness PassRead MoreWhen Roald Dahl wrote Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, he imagined a much-coveted golden ticket that granted access to myriad wonders and unveiled the inner workings of an entire industry. MetaBody created a real-life version of that ticket with the MetaBody Yoga & Fitness Pass, though it applies to fitness instead of candy. The pass grants access not to a single gym but to classes at a variety of local studios, specializing in everything from yoga to boot camp. With the freedom to move from location to location, students can sample different regimens, instructors, and styles of exercise to cobble together a program that fits their needs and goals. MetaBody's nutritionists supplement class packages by coaching clients in healthy eating, recipe cooking, and speed-reading nutrition-fact labels.3355 Richmond Rd.Beachwood, OH US
Crooked River CrossFitRead MoreAfter years of working at a "globo gym," Marty Pajek and Kyle Eshleman decided to provide a better route to fitness than routine cardio and strength training. At Crooked River CrossFit, they join two other certified coaches in teaching functional, constantly varied CrossFit classes. The classes begin with aerobic activity and instruction to proper form, and then students take off on a high-intensity workout that may include lifting heavy objects and moving large loads.5929 Mayfield Rd.Mayfield Heights, OH US
CrossFit Sixth CityRead MoreCrossFit classes are designed to include participants from every athletic level or age group. Strength and conditioning workouts consist of customizable exercises steeped in functional fitness movements. The coaches tailor moves for each person attending classes offered seven days a week based on strengths, weaknesses, and experience. Coaches adjust the weights during Olympic-style weight-lifting, using plyometric boxes in multiple sizes and heights. Other workouts incorporate Kettlebells, climbing ropes, medicine balls, and pull-up rigs.2345 Saint Clair Avenue NortheastCleveland, OH US
The Bar CrossFitRead MoreInside The Bar CrossFit's 6,000-square-foot facility, an electric-green graffiti mural forms the backdrop for all the barbells, kettle bells, benches, and squat racks that fill the space. This is the scene for every Workout of the Day performed in the facility, each led by a member of its staff of Level 1 coaches. Participants may find themselves tackling a new functional-movement workout with every visit, but sweat and exertion are constants. Commitment has its rewards, though: in addition to the feeling of accomplishment that comes at the completion of every workout and well-executed classmate chest-bump, regular CrossFitters will see marked improvements in strength, balance, endurance, and agility.33801 Curtis BoulevardEastlake, OH US
Crossfit TornadoRead MoreA Chat with CrossFit Tornado What services does your business offer and what makes your business stand out from the competition? We all have different needs when we start a new strength and conditioning program. It doesn?t make sense to throw you right into classes before you have properly learned the movements. Our comprehensive Fundamentals course will prepare you for the regular CrossFit classes. Exercise is challenging. How do you keep clients motivated and engaged? The CrossFit routine becomes more enjoyable and motivational as the individual progresses. Constantly varied, high-intensity, functional movement increases work capacity across broad time and modal domains. Our trainers are positive and constantly push the client with inspirational words. What was the inspiration to start or run this business? I have opened a CrossFit gym because of my desire to make a difference. I wanted to work with others to help move them forward in profound ways in their lives. I knew that I could offer the service, support, guidance and honesty others needed to make big transitions in their lives. What do you love most about your job? I love my job because it's so relaxing and it's a very positive environment. It does keep me on my toes, but making people happy makes me happy.36540 Biltmore PlaceWilloughby, OH US
Studio 82Read MoreClare Gales has two loves?dance and fitness. The devoted dancer and expert trainer opened Studio 82 in 1986, where she combined her two passions by hosting both fitness and dance classes on the studio's expansive hardwood floors. Today, Clare and her staff of professional dancers and fitness professionals continue to lead students of all ages in more than 100 different classes that range from ballet to cardio kickboxing. An abundance of internationally renowned dancers and top instructors have passed through the studio's doors over the course of its 26 years, guiding youngsters and adults alike through the footwork and form of styles such as ballet, jazz, and hip-hop. Certified fitness instructors conduct a variety of energetic classes, interspersing a schedule of high-intensity cardio classes with strength-training workouts and rejuvenating yoga and Pilates sessions. The studio's diverse range of classes attracts an equally diverse group of clients that includes aspiring dancers, fitness seekers, and future brides preparing for the wedding dance or bulking up for the ceremonial arm-wrestling match against the groom?s mother.13499 West 130th StreetNorth Royalton, OH US

MONDAY, Sept. 10 (HealthDay News) -- A new study suggests that young men with a particularly severe type of testicular cancer are more likely to have smoked pot.
But the findings aren't conclusive and a marijuana researcher questioned their value.
Even if there is a doubled risk for pot smokers, as the study seems to indicate, the overall chances of a young man developing testicular cancer would still be very low, experts said.
However, "young men are entitled to this information so that they can make informed decisions," said study co-author Victoria Cortessis, an assistant professor of preventive medicine at the University of Southern California, in Los Angeles. She said that although the study doesn't prove a cause-and-effect link between marijuana use and testicular cancer, other research has produced similar results.
Testicular cancer is extremely rare, and largely a disease of young men. It is diagnosed in about 8,600 men a year, according to an American Cancer Society estimate, and kills only about 360 since treatment is usually successful. A man's chances of developing the disease over a lifetime are about one in 270.
The new study examined 163 patients who were diagnosed with the most common type of testicular cancer. They were diagnosed between 1986 and 1991 in Los Angeles, and researchers asked about their drug use during in-person interviews.
The researchers compared them to 292 healthy men of similar races, ages and ethnicities.
The study found that of the men with testicular cancer who answered questions about marijuana use, 81 percent had tried the drug. Of the healthy men, 76 percent had tried marijuana.
When researchers looked at an especially severe kind of testicular cancer known as nonseminoma and mixed germ cell tumors, which affected nearly half of the patients, they found that 85 percent had tried marijuana. Only 75 percent

Speakby Laurie Halse Anderson
I love Anderson's style of writing. The characters in all of her books (including Catalyst) have a very personal connection with me. They really come alive and I can imagine being them or being friends with them.
Pendragon: Black Waterby D.J. McHale
The whole series of the Pendragon books is extraordinary. It's a classic "a regular boy figures out he has to save the world" book with a twist. Each of the stories is so unique and widening.
The Bar Code Tattooby Suzanne Weyn
This book is futuristic and it really struck me as a story that could actually occur later on in history. The thought of "Whoa, that could happen!" flew in my mind. This is about a girl fighting for freedom.
Cold Tomby Sally Prue
Tom is a very delicate character and the book is very gripping in making the reader feel how Tom felt when he left. The intensity and awareness of Tom's personality really reminds me of my own feelings.
Demon in My Viewby Amelia Atwater-Rhodes
I am in love with every single one of Rhodes books, characters and beautifully written, exciting stories. She is so talented at creating a unique and thrilling book. They are so strange but at the same time real.

Cincinnatians don't like their city to be pigeonholed. At least not in a manner they perceive to be off target.That's so Cincinnati.
BuzzFeed's "BuzzFeed Community" site helps the list-empire target specific cities and regions, resulting in one of the more shared links of the week, at least locally — "31 Ways to Tell You're From Cincinnati."
At first, many seemed to celebrate more attention for our fair city. Then they read the list. It has proven to be far more controversial than BuzzFeed's "11 Cincinnati Foods That Are Better Than Yours" from earlier this year, likely because that list actually reflected contemporary Cincinnati. As far as I know, all those "Cincinnati foods" still exist.
It was clear to many that the "community contributor" who wrote the piece either hadn't been to Cincinnati for a while or was simply parroting one of the Enquirer's old "Cincinnati is so crazy and distinct — we say 'Pop' and 'Please' " articles from the past.
As commenters immediately pointed out, BuzzFeed's list was great … for anyone taking a time machine back to Cincinnati circa 2001 or earlier. While the list was mildly accurate, it reinforced some old stereotypes, like "You will die if you step foot in Over-the-Rhine" and how we can't shut up about George Clooney's Cincinnati roots (he's not from Cincinnati, he's from Kentucky). Elsewhere, items like "You hung in there with Reds' pitcher 'Cool Hand Leake' even after he was booked for shoplifting" suggest the writer found an old sports page from 2011. That was hardly a big deal when it happened; I would wager most but the die-hardest of Reds fans have forgotten it even occurred. And things like Cincinnatians saying "Please" instead of "What did you say?" or calling Coke and Pepsi "pop" are local quirks that seem to be dying a little more with each more-widely-connected-to-the-world generation.
But what does it matter what Cincinnatians think? BuzzFeed got their big hits surge from Cincy residents and ex-pats. All for something that appeared to take about 10 minutes to put together. "List bait" works.
Yesterday, the folks at the site Cincy Whimsy responded with an "answer list" (oh, if only rap feuds were solved this way). Their "31 Ways to Tell You're From Cincinnati List: An Improved Version" list rang a lot more true to a lot people. The first item set the tone, calling out BuzzFeed for not correctly spelling Servatii and Procter & Gamble. Check it out here.
Last week, the local web buzz was all about the Cincinnati USA Regional Chamber's "hip" ad for "Cincinnati USA," featuring a dude in capri pants and sandals talking about how Cincinnatians "do what we love." Unlike people from Pittsburgh, who strictly do things that they hate?
The video was also widely shared and, though well-intentioned, widely mocked.
Enter local comedienne Kristen Lundberg (aka Mammyspanx), whose equally-giddy response video is pretty pitch perfect.
Music Hall will come to life this weekend. Thanks to a collaboration between Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, Landor Associates and funding from local organizations, the Cincy landmark will be part of LumenoCity, a first-of-its-kind multimedia performance in Washington Park Saturday and Sunday. Many details of the performance won't be revealed until the show, but we know it involves live orchestra music set to a process called architectural mapping — where three-dimensional graphics are projected onto a building's surface, interacting with its architectural details, causing the building to illuminate and appear in motion. This process of mapping has been done before (just check out the video below), but never like what we'll see this weekend.
LumenoCity also
marks Maestro Louis
Langrée's arrival as the CSO's new musical director. The free concert takes
place at 8:30 p.m. in Washington Park Saturday and Sunday. Bring your own
seating. Read more about the event here.
Newly opened OTR brewery Rhinegeist unveils its limited edition Saber Tooth Tiger IPA with a celebration Saturday.

the rare version of the shirt from the first season at Gillingham with the sponsor printed on a white panel
More examples of this shirt
Submitted by: Phil OFS
oldshirts Added to website on: 4 December 2008
This shirt is from the very beginning of the first of two seasons Brighton played their home games at Gillinghams Priestfield Ground between 1997-1999.
You can tell it is from the beginning of the season as the Sandtex logo is printed onto a white flock panel that has been heat applied to the shirt. This shirt was made available in limited numbers at the very start of the 1997/8 season, hence its rarity.
After the beginning of the season the shirts had the Sandtex logo screen printed in red direct to the shirt.

SomedayNeverMaybe | Denver >>> S.A.
View Single Post
Gnarly Adventurer
Joined: Jul 2008
Location: Denver, CO
Oddometer: 220
Day 5 | You Can Find Me in the A...
Nashville >> Chattanooga >> Atlanta
Mileage: Approx 1,700 total miles ridden since leaving Denver 5 days ago.
Best moment: After waking up late, still groggy from the night out in Nashville, I hit the road around 11am. As I set off, I decided that I'd like to at least get a few mountain roads in before ending the trip. However, I knew it was going to be cold, so I couldn't bring myself to get all the way over to Deals Gap (an amazing road in North Carolina that has an 11-mile stretch w/ 300+ curves). I headed east and then south on 56 all the way to Chattanooga. The road was great. It had plenty of curves, tons of beautiful tree farms, and was popping with fall color. MASSIVE thanks to my personal mixtape curators Graciela and Sarah who provided Spotify playlists that really hit the spot along the ride. Hot damn those two have great taste in music! Thanks ladies...
Another highlight was crossing over the border into Georgia. I felt a sense of comfort knowing that I was finally back home. I sped along in an effort to make it to my mother's house, but stopped along the way for some (seriously unhealthy) favorites. A patty melt at Waffle House, a massive cup of steaming boiled peanuts, a chili dog at The Varsity, and free coffee at RaceTrac (why the hell are gas stations so freaking big in the south?). Normally I'm very healthy, or at least try to be, but I'm thinking while I'm here I won't worry about it as much. I'll be sure to keep up my running and training in addition to the junk food, maybe that will help. :/
Worst moment: The cold, the cold, the cold!!! I only made it to Chattanooga after leaving Nashville. I was absolutely freezing (temps dropped down to 32°) and hit the wall, so had to pull over and grab a cheap room for the night. You definitely get what you pay for, so I don't really need to explain the conditions at a place called Best Value Inn. Not the best I've stayed in that's for sure. However, certainly not the worst. Today the temps dropped to around the same, but I had planned slightly better and layered up. Still, riding in freezing temps is simply brutal after awhile at 70+mph.
That's it for now. I've unpacked the bike and bags, and will set up shop here in Loganville (and Atlanta w/ friends) for the next month. The target 'leave date' for the LatAm portion of the trip is December 15th. Talk to everyone then!

Product description
It's the start of Hollywood on Hudson, and New York City is swept up in the glamour. Every night, the red carpet rolls out for movie stars arriving at premieres in limos; the most exclusive restaurants close for private parties for wealthy producers and preeminent directors; and thousands of fans gather with the paparazzi, hoping to catch a glimpse of the most famous and beautiful faces in the world. With this many celebrities in town, special task force NYPD Red is on high alert-and they can't afford to make a single mistake. Then a world-renowned producer fatally collapses at his power breakfast, and top NYPD Red Detective Zach Jordan is the first one on the scene. Zach works with his beautiful new partner, Detective Kylie MacDonald-who also happens to be his ex-girlfriend-to discover who the murderer might be. But this is only the beginning: the most brutal, public, and horrifyingly spectacular crimes they've ever encountered are about to send all of New York into chaos, putting NYPD Red on the ropes. Zach and Kylie know there's no way of telling what a killer this deranged will do next. With the whole world watching, they have to find a way to stop a psychopath who has scripted his finale down to the last explosive detail. With larger-than-life action, relentless speed, and white-knuckle twists, "NYPD Red" is the next mega-blockbuster from "The Man Who Can't Miss." ("TIME")

|Scientific classification
|L. coccineus
|Binomial name
|Loxops coccineus
(Gmelin, 1789)
The ʻakepa (Loxops coccineus) is one of the smallest Hawaiian forest birds, at four inches long and weighing 10 grams. Found only in high elevation old growth rainforest, these nonmigratory passerines have rounded heads, black eyes, and black wings and tail. Adult males sport one of the most brilliant orange colors found in any bird, a plumage which takes four years to develop. Females are greenish gray on back, lighter gray on front, with varying amounts of yellow and sometimes pale orange on the breast and belly. Juveniles appear similar to females, though are generally duller in color.
All ʻakepa have an unusual cross-bill. When closed, the upper bill tip slightly overlaps the lower bill tip to one side (this cannot be seen in the field). When opening the bill, as in prying open leaf buds to extract small caterpillars, the bills swing dramatically sideways, and this is easily seen in the hand. Some birds cross one way, and some the other, apparently randomly. The ʻakepa cross-bill operates similarly to that in the North American crossbills (genus Loxia), but is much less obvious when the bill is closed.
ʻAkepa are usually found from 1,500 to 2,200 meters above sea level. They are non-territorial, and group male displays have often been observed in the beginning of the breeding season. They participate in mixed-species flocks during the non-breeding season. They are highly endangered.
ʻAkepa is a Hawaiian term meaning "agile", befitting their active foraging at branch tips.
The Hawaii ʻakepa was first collected by western science during Captain James Cook's third voyage around the world. Several specimens were collected, as well as feather leis (necklaces resembling strings of flowers) constructed by Hawaiian artisans. The specimens were classified when brought back to England several years later. The Latin name of the bird, Loxops coccineus, means "crossed" (Loxops) and "red" (coccineus). The word coccineus is also used in another Hawaiian bird, the ʻiʻiwi (Vestiaria coccineus).
The akepa (Loxops coccineus) is divided into three subspecies, only one of which, the Hawaiʻi ʻakepa, can be found today:
- Hawaii ʻakepa, Loxops coccineus coccineus
- Maui ʻakepa, Loxops (coccineus) ochraceus - extinct (1988)
- Oʻahu ʻakepa, Loxops (coccineus) wolstenholmei - extinct (1990s)
There is much speculation that the three "subspecies" above are (were) in fact three distinct species, based on geographic isolation and differences such as color and nesting location.
The 'akeke'e is sometimes called the "Kauai ʻakepa", but it is not the same species as the other ʻakepa (and is given the scientific name Loxops caeruleirostris).
Distribution and relatives[edit]
- Loxops coccineus coccineus: The Hawaii ʻakepa survives only in two or three locations, all on the island of Hawaii: one population in Hakalau Forest National Wildlife Refuge (on the Hamakua Coast of Mauna Kea), one in the upper forest areas of Kau (in the southern part of the island), and one on the northern slope of Hualālai (perhaps extirpated).
- Loxops coccineus wolstenholmei: The Oahu ʻakepa was found in large numbers until the 1890s. Immediately afterward, a sharp drop in its numbers was noted. Many feel that it had disappeared by the 1920s; however, scattered, unconfirmed reports were posted in the 1990s. This subspecies' male was brick red in coloration, while the female was dark gray.
- Loxops coccineus ochraceus: The Maui ʻakepa was found on the mountain of Haleakalā in east Maui. This population was detected at low numbers until 1992, when the last sighting was documented. There are still reports of green yellow birds flying in the remote reserve, so there may be individuals remaining, but this is very unlikely as dedicated intensive surveys have failed to confirm any Maui ʻakepa.
- Loxops caeruleirostris: The akeke'e, or Kauai ʻakepa, was once thought to be another subspecies of L. coccineus, but was evident in the 1990s that this bird was different in coloring, nesting, songs and degree of sexual dimorphism.
This species is highly dependent on ʻōhiʻa lehua trees and koa trees for food. Its bill is specialized for opening ʻōhiʻa lehua leaf buds in search of small caterpillars. Fretz (2002) suggests that this food source is only found in old-growth Hawaiian forests and could be one factor in ʻakepa population declines. The lehua (or blossom) of the ʻōhiʻa tree provides a source of nectar that this bird consumes occasionally. The koa tree's cracked bark serves as a home for many insects and arthropods that the ʻakepa finds delectable.
These birds have a breeding season in spring. The Hawaii ʻakepa is the only obligate cavity-nester in Hawaii. There are no cavity-making birds in Hawaii (another honeycreeper, the ʻakiapolaʻau, drills small holes and excavates bark, but does not make holes large enough for ʻakepa nests). Thus, the ʻakepa must find naturally occurring cavities in the trunks and branches. Such cavities are generally found only in very large, old trees, making the ʻakepa an old-growth obligate. Large courtship groups have been observed during the breeding season, which is curious because this species makes permanent bonds. Another anomaly is the fact that for such a small bird, it does not lay many eggs—usually one or two, instead of the three to five of other similarly sized species.
Two of the three subspecies of ʻakepa (Loxops coccineus) are extinct or probably extinct. As of 2000, about 14,000 Hawaiʻi ʻakepa remained. They were listed as an endangered species in 1975.
Surviving ʻakepa live only on the island of Hawaii, and only in old growth forest above 1,200 metres (3,937 ft) elevation. This is a sign that avian malaria and avian pox have played a role in killing off populations of ʻakepa at lower elevations. These introduced diseases are implicated in more than 20 bird extinctions in Hawaii since 1826, when the first mosquito (Anopheles species) was introduced to the islands. Disease continues to be a threat, and could result in extinction of the ʻakepa if Hawaiian climate continues to warm (or if new bird diseases or mosquito species are allowed to invade the islands).
Old growth deterioration[edit]
Due to their need for tree cavities, ʻakepa rely on old-growth ʻōhiʻa and koa forests for nesting. Although the largest populations of ʻakepa live within protected lands, large trees appear to be falling faster than they are replaced. It is unclear how management can deal with this in the medium-term, except by use of artificial nest boxes. Past experiments with nest boxes (Freed et al., 1987) have shown that birds will occasionally use them, with high nesting success. There is no ongoing research or use of nest boxes for ʻakepa as of 2010.
Alien predators can be highly dangerous to native birds in dry and mesic forest. However, there is no evidence that rat predation is important for ʻakepa or other wet-forest birds, perhaps due to the size of trees making it unlikely for a rat to chance upon a nest. Cattle, pigs, and other ungulates cause severe habitat degradation in native forests; however, this is more of a long-term threat for ʻakepa than a short-term threat, because canopy trees can survive for some time after ungulates have destroyed lower layers of the forest.
Emerging threats[edit]
Two new threats have been identified since 2000: alien birds and ectoparasites. Invasive birds such as the Japanese white-eye may compete with the ʻakepa for food; white-eyes have increased exponentially in the core of the ʻakepa range since 2001 (Camp et al. 2009, Freed and Cann 2009), where ʻakepa and other native birds have declined significantly since 1999, according to the Hawaii Forest Bird Survey (Camp et al. 2009) and banding data (Freed and Cann 2009). Disturbingly, ʻakepa and other native species have shown signs of starvation and runty nestlings, as well as declining population during this time.
Ectoparasites such as lice were uncommon in this area before 2003, but increased in epidemic proportion pattern from 2003-2006 (Medeiros et al. 2008). The origin of these ectoparasites is unknown, however they appear to be harming birds, as infested birds had feathers in poor condition.
There is no research currently ongoing on either of these threats (as of 2010). This species requires active research and management in order for it to survive existing and emerging threats.

Obama Administration Moves To Strike Down Defense Of Marriage ActQuicklink submitted by Sheila Samples Permalink
Become a Fan
(39 fans)
|The Obama administration filed the first in a series of legal briefs on Friday calling for the Supreme Court to strike down the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), saying the 1996 law that defines marriage as between one man and one woman is unconstitutional. "Moral opposition to homosexuality, though it may reflect deeply held personal views, is not a legitimate policy objective that can justify unequal treatment of gay and lesbian people," said Solicitor General Donald Verrilli in the Justice Department's brief. "The law denies to tens of thousands of same-sex couples who are legally married under state law an array of important federal benefits that are available to legally married opposite-sex couples."

Jeremy Lin is anomalous in all sorts of ways. He's a Harvard grad in the NBA, an Asian-American man in professional sports. But we shouldn't neglect the biggest anomaly. He's a religious person in professional sports.
We've become accustomed to the faith-driven athlete and coach, from Billy Sunday to Tim Tebow. But we shouldn't forget how problematic this is. The moral ethos of sport is in tension with the moral ethos of faith, whether Jewish, Christian or Muslim.
The moral universe of modern sport is oriented around victory and supremacy. The sports hero tries to perform great deeds in order to win glory and fame. It doesn't really matter whether he has good intentions. His job is to beat his opponents and avoid the oblivion that goes with defeat.
The modern sports hero is competitive and ambitious. (Let's say he's a man, though these traits apply to female athletes as well). He is theatrical. He puts himself on display.
He is assertive, proud and intimidating. He makes himself the center of attention when the game is on the line.
This is what we go to sporting events to see. This sporting ethos pervades modern life and shapes how we think about business, academic and political competition.
But there's no use denying – though many do deny it – that this ethos violates the religious ethos on many levels. The religious ethos is about redemption, self-abnegation and surrender to God.
Ascent in the sports universe is a straight shot. You set your goal, and you climb toward greatness. But ascent in the religious universe often proceeds by a series of inversions: You have to be willing to lose yourself in order to find yourself; to gain everything you have to be willing to give up everything; the last shall be first; it's not about you.
For many religious teachers, humility is the primary virtue. You achieve loftiness of spirit by performing the most menial services. You achieve your identity through self-effacement. You achieve strength by acknowledging your weaknesses. You lead most boldly when you consider yourself an instrument of a larger cause.
The most perceptive athletes have always tried to wrestle with this conflict. Sports history is littered with odd quotations from people who try to reconcile their love of sport with their religious creed – and fail.
Jeremy Lin has wrestled with this tension quite openly. In a 2010 interview with the website Patheos, Lin recalled, "I wanted to do well for myself and my team. How can I possibly give that up and play selflessly for God?"
Lin says in that interview that he has learned not to obsess about stats and championships. He continues, "I'm not working hard and practicing day in and day out so that I can please other people. My audience is God. ... The right way to play is not for others and not for myself, but for God. I still don't fully understand what that means; I struggle with these things every game, every day. I'm still learning to be selfless and submit myself to God and give up my game to Him."

A report from the Interior Department's inspector general reveals that the Bureau of Land Management is holding back U.S. domestic energy production by stalling on a backlog of at least 3,500 applications to drill oil and gas wells on Federal lands.
"Oil and gas production is a major activity on Federal and Indian lands, with annual royalty revenues averaging $3 billion since fiscal year 2011," the report explains. "About 92,000 oil and gas wells currently exist on Federal lands, and industry drills over 3,000 new wells annually."
BLM officials usually shuffle about 5,000 new drilling permits through a multiple-agency bureaucratic approval process each year. Each of the permits, according to the report, takes an average of 7.5 months to go through the process.
Because BLM lacks an efficient system for tracking the progress of the applications, some of the backlogged oil and gas permits are in danger of being delayed indefinitely.
"We found that neither BLM nor the operator can predict when the permit will be approved. Target dates for completion of individual [applications for a permit to drill] are rarely set and enforced, and consequently, the review may continue indefinitely," the IG report states.
"This adversely affects developing the Nation's domestic energy resources," the IG continues. "Specifically, the Federal Government and Indian mineral owners risk losing royalties from delayed oil and gas production. Industry officials informed us that delays cause some wells not to be drilled, resulting in additional lost production and royalties."
The report offers that permit approval times have improved slightly in recent years but production of coal, oil and natural gas has been falling since President Barack Obama took office in 2009. A report issued last month found that production on Federal lands is down 15 percent under Obama's watch and a total of 21 percent since 2003.
"The Obama Administration is restricting American energy production wherever and whenever possible and these new numbers from EIA are further proof of that," Representative Doc Hastings said in a statement about the report. "President Obama has imposed a defacto [sic] drilling moratorium on new offshore drilling, canceled both onshore and offshore lease sales, and imposed layer upon layer of red-tape to make it harder to develop our energy resources."
A lack of Federal motivation to streamline the drilling permit process is likely a facet of that "defacto [sic] drilling moratorium." While the BLM permit process takes an average of 228 days, GOP lawmakers have noted that most States issue drilling permits in less than 80 days. In Texas, for instance, it takes only five days for most permits to be approved; and a permit in North Dakota can be completed in 25 days. Those States account for roughly half of the United States' total domestic oil production.
The IG reports that there is definitely room for improvement at the Federal level.
"Based on many factors such as available staff, natural resource issues unique to each region, and the complexities of the drilling and surface use plans, the length will likely vary among field offices and individual wells within the same office," the new report says. "Nevertheless, we concluded that BLM has opportunities to improve the efficiency and speed of the Federal and Indian [drilling application approvals]."

In a recent study, it has been claimed that by altering a heart-specific genetic pathway, there are chances that diseases such as Obesity, diabetes, and coronary artery disease can be averted. This study has been done by a team of researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. "This is the first demonstration that the heart can regulate systemic metabolism, which we think opens up a whole new area of investigation", said Dr. Eric Olson, chairman of molecular biology at UT Southwestern and senior author of the study.
For the study, Dr. Chad Grueter, a postdoctoral researcher in molecular biology, who led the research, used genetically altered mice and an experimental drug, which was found to influence the levels of two regulatory molecules in the heart. It was found after the research that MED13, which is a key part of a gene pathway in the heart, manages the metabolism of the body, and miRNA-208a, a heart-specific micro RNA, was found to halt the action of MED13. It was claimed by researchers that those mice who had MED13 levels were weak and had to put on a lot of energy, while those genetically engineered mice who didn't had MED13 in the heart were found to have escalated vulnerability to diet-induced obesity.
It was told that there was another study done earlier too when heart-specific microRNA, miR-208a was thoroughly studied and further a drug was developed to stop miR-208a after associating with a biotechnology company. However, the present study is totally focused on the role played by miR-208a and its target MED13 in regulating systemic metabolism. Published in the latest issue of Cell, this study has captured the attention of the medical community.
There are chances that this study might open new routes to find cures of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease in the time to come.

The founding of Williamston was a dream come true for West Allen Williams. One day in 1842 this farmer stopped for a nap while riding over his property. He dreamed of a clear spring with healing qualities and envisioned pale and feeble people improving miraculously. Upon awakening, he followed a trickling sound and discovered the source of the Williamston mineral spring.
As news of the medicinal water spread, the town grew and became a major resort when the railroads arrived in 1851. Soon it became known as the "Saratoga of the South", which was a referral to a similar spring in New York. To accommodate the influx, the Mammoth Hotel was built near the spring and was the largest building in the state at that time, featuring 150 rooms plus bowling alleys and ballrooms. Unfortunately, a devastating fire in 1860 destroyed it and other buildings. The town was initially known as Mineral Springs, but this was changed to Williamston in 1852. Mr. Williams set aside property to preserve the spring and to begin schools and churches.
The Civil War brought an end to that "golden era", but not without leaving its own history. The last skirmish east of the Mississippi took place a few miles north of town when cadets from the Arsenal Academy of Columbia encountered Stoneman's Raiders on May 1, 1865.
In 1871, Dr. Samuel Lander established a girls' school which eventually moved to the city of Greenwood and became Lander University. Dr. Lander was instrumental in prohibiting the sale of liquor in town, a feeling which exists today in this community served by more than 70 churches.
Around the turn of the century the cotton mills settled near the river and played major roles in shaping the communities. Many families still treasure memories of events sponsored by the mills and of teams playing in the old textile leagues. Shoeless Joe Jackson took his first steps on Pelzer's mill hill and went on to become the greatest natural baseball player ever.
Railroads continued to serve the area until the 1950s. The P & N was designed to operate through the heart of the Piedmont textile industry and is remembered by its motto "A Mill to the Mile" and by its rate of a penny a mile. With today's dominance of auto transportation, Williamston has highways 8, 20, and 29 connecting it to upstate corridors including nearby Interstate 85.
Public schools in the Pelzer/Williamston/West Pelzer area are part of Anderson District One. The public elementary schools in Anderson district one are Cedar Grove Elementary, Powdersville Elementary, Concrete Primary, Spearman Elementary, Hunt Meadows Elementary, West Pelzer Elementary, Palmetto Elementary, and Wren Elementary. The Middle schools are Palmetto Middle, Wren Middle, and Powdersville Middle. High schools are; Palmetto High School, Palmetto High Freshman Academy, Powdersville High School, Wren High School, and Wren High School Freshman Academy.[5]

Disney calls Net TV effort a success
Full Story: Disney calls Net TV effort a successBy Declan McCullagh, CNET News.com
ASPEN, Colo.--A Walt Disney Co. executive on Monday said the company's experiment with delivering TV shows over the Internet has been a success and it will continue this fall.
Anne Sweeney, president of the Disney-ABC Television Group, said the free, ad-supported shows are attracting a younger audience that's more comfortable watching shows on a computer screen than their parents might have been.
"Last year we were using the Disney Channel Web site as a marketing tool," Sweeney said at the Progress and Freedom Foundation's technology policy conference here. "Today we're using it as a programming tool."

Re: Hey BadHabitude Toronto gets Bruins 2nd rounder
posted at 5/29/2011 3:52 PM EDTLook at the trade this way. Giving up Kessel meant having $5M to play with. And they used it to sign Horton.
Kessel is a proven scorer, yes. But Horton has been CLUTCH. He's turned into a mean, spirited power forward. HE IS A BRUIN. I don't know if Kessel would have been that intense in round three of the playoffs.
Losing Joe Colbourne sucks. But would he have made THIS team? Really? We got Savard, Bergeron, Krejci and Seguin up the middle. And would he have beaten Jordan Caron or Jamie Arniel for a position next year or the one following that? No.
Give credit where it's due. Chairelli did a bang up job building this team. And we got Chris Kelly for a pick, and we dealt softy Blake Wheeler and future UFA Mark Stuart for a low-cost scoring threat in Rich Peverley.
Wow. I really like this team. And just imagine if Kaberle starts to rack up points. Imagine.

I'm planning on buying a 2011 rift zone but was wondering if anyone had ridden one yet and what their thoughts were. I know they had some at the outdoor demo at interbike. I've been needing a full suspension xc rig and have always raced and loved Marin's hardtails so I'm hoping for the same thing with this.

Wow! I love this dvd and I'm glad it is the stage play. We have never had the opportunity to see the stage play, this is the next best thing. We read the book and play the songs every year, we even made our own Forgotten Carols ornaments years ago that we add to a special tree as we read the book. This dvd will now become a part of our holiday traditions also.
By Aprilyn, Submitted on 2015-02-25
I LOVE this DVD!! I've seen the show live 2 times in my life but it's hard to really see what's going on when you're so far away. I was so happy to see it come out on DVD and now we can watch it more often. Like someone else said, I did miss Arise and Shine Forth. I also missed Together Forever but I still love the DVD!
By Whitney, Submitted on 2015-02-25
GREAT!!! It is a stage play, which some may need to be warned of, but this is incredible! I fell in love with Michael McLean's character and his son's voice!

Linux in Amsterdam
So what's up with Linux in Amsterdam? That's a front-burner question for me right now because I'll be spending the next three days there, and would like to pick up on a story or few while I'm there.
Of special interest to me is what Linux (and FOSS) hackers are doing from the edge inward to build out the Net as a system not controlled just by large telcos and other providers. For example, is anybody doing in Amsterdam (or nearby) what Indienet.dk has been doing in Copenhagen?
As a side note, it amazes me that I'm creeping up on a million miles with United, and probably past that overall, but I've never been to Amsterdam. Look for me at MobileMonday, where I'm going to be on, well, monday.
Okay, the the plane is boarding. See you there.

Stumbles at 160kph after releasing gas, why?
:rofl My Bike 2004 950 Adv S with 97k km
Installed vacuum pump last week.
Today was the first day I took it on a solo ride I was driving at 160kph and released the gas because of a car that switched lanes without signals "asshole" well thing is it took a second to happen and when i got over the gas the bike stalled for a second or so, so retried the test again and the more time i had the throttle of, well the more time it took for the bike to gain power again.
I have no idea of where to start thinking of what is going on, only thing I can say is that at less than 100kph it just won't happen, or at least I can't feel it.
Any ideas?
Sent from my GT-P5110 using Tapatalk 2
Does it really stall like engine dies or just stumbles when you get back on the throttle? Mine does it too at higher speeds, if after letting go of the throttle so it engine brakes when back on it hesitates a little before power returns fully.
Have blamed it on the 2-1 system ...have been like it for quite some time, plan to go over the carbs this winter and maybe look how the membranes are feeling if they are old and stiff by now maybe that is the problem?
-04 Adv

Platinum Plating:
Platinum can be used as a finish coating over sterling silver or copper alloys. Its bright, pure luster enhances the brilliance of gemstones and does not discolor or oxidize. Platinum plating is also characterized by its good resistance to surface abrasion, making jewelry pieces more durable against everyday and long-term wear. Over time, platinum plating will wear off and therefore will require re-plating.
To care for your plated jewelry items:
On the Mohs Scale, which measures the hardness of minerals, cubic zirconia is an 8.0 to 8.5. It is important to understand that hardness is not necessarily related to durability. Even though diamond is the hardest mineral (10.0 on the Mohs Scale), it can still be chipped or broken.
The only ways to tell the difference between cubic zirconia and diamond are by use of a thermal probe, by weighing the loose stone or by microscopic examination of surface features and inclusions. Cubic zirconia weighs approximately 65% more than diamond. Therefore, while a 6.25 mm round diamond weighs about 1.00 carat, the same size cubic zirconia weighs about 1.65 carats. If you know the weight of a cubic zirconia, you can figure out the diamond weight equivalent by multiplying the cubic zirconia weight by 0.6, or 60%.
Few natural diamonds on the market today are perfectly cut, and those that are cost much more than the usual diamond. Unleashing the fire, beauty and brilliance of a stone depends on its precise cut. Simulated diamonds are an excellent balance between quality, beauty and price.
