In other words, what's in that glass of wine might be helpful, but perhaps not for the reasons Sirtris thinks.
"Well, I don't believe we need to fully understand what these genes do to make a drug that will work," said Sinclair. "Many of the drugs that we take today, we don't know what really, the downstream effects are. It's very complex. The body is complex, I'm not denying that."
"The specifics, the very fine specifics about the mechanism which might be part of the sources of academic conflict," Westphal admitted. "To the company, it's not that important, but all we care about is, are we right? And will it work in man?"
While they wait to find out, should the rest of us start pouring the pinot noir?
"Probably, if you wanted the health-giving effects of resveratrol from red wine, you'd have to have a couple of hundred glasses of wine," said Westphal. "Per day."
That's why Sirtris is hoping to pack the power of resveratrol into a tiny pill. But in the meantime, you can buy a lower dose of resveratrol at health food stores. What is unclear is whether the over-the-counter versions work, or whether they're safe.
Kaeberlein points out that even if those resveratrol supplements work in humans, there's still not enough concrete evidence to start taking it regularly.
"There is no safety data on resveratrol, particularly long-term safety data," he said. "I would be particularly wary if I was taking a prescription drug. One of the targets resveratrol is known to act on are enzymes that influence the way certain drugs are metabolized. So there's certainly a possibility of drug interactions."
If this endeavor fails, Westphal admits he'll be disappointed. But if it succeeds, "It's going to be great. It can change the world."
So, despite the doubt -- and the risk -- behind their venture, these two are willing to drink to the idea that they've uncorked the secret to longer, healthier lives.

Do you ever wish your bf or even just friend would call you beautiful or say good morning beautiful to you? I know I do
You are beautiful (hope you don't mind an old bear saying so)
You are safe
It is good to ask for what you want as well. That may help you get it! Communication! Its SOOOOO important! lol
Pssh, if your dude doesn't do that, he's probs not worth being with.
I do this every morning for my girlfriend... I don't think she actually notices tho to be honest..
No need to apologize for me. ^^ I just tell her what I believe she is just really busy with her life currently so I am on the sidelines kinda trying to help her get through each day.
Now if only I felt like she was crazy about me I would be really happy. Unfortunately we are so new into our relationship that I am not even sure she really wants it. She is just too busy to comfort my mind. So I have to wait patiently and hope everything works out.
Great, now I do.. >.>

Meteorology at Melbourne Observatory, 1863-1908
Image: Negative - Copy
Source: Museum Victoria
The collecting of meteorological data was an important aspect of Melbourne Observatory's work from its inception in 1863. Just as astronomy had an important practical role to play in navigation, timekeeping and surveying, so the meteorological service provided up to date weather information and forecasts that were essential for shipping and agriculture.
By 1870 Government Astronomer Robert Ellery had a well organised system in place. Meteorological instruments on the east of the Observatory site automatically recorded temperature and air pressure; full records were sent from 7 major country sites, and records of rainfall from another 16 volunteers. This network gradually expanded until by 1893 Ellery was receiving rainfall records from 514 places around Victoria.
In collaboration with the government astronomers at Sydney and Adelaide, Ellery also established a system of intercolonial weather reports, sent daily by telegraph. By 1877 the three observatories were exchanging weather information twice a day by telegraph, and from 1881 Ellery provided the newspapers with a daily weather map of Australia and a forecast of the day's weather. Information and forecasts were telegraphed to the country stations each afternoon.
In the late 1890s the Observatory participated in an international project to observe and photograph clouds for one year, to provide data that could relate cloud types to other meteorological information such as air pressure and rain. Observers around Victoria were trained to observe cloud types and send in information, while special photographic apparatus was installed at the Observatory and on the roof of Parliament House.
Meteorology also had an important symbolic role in the development of the nation. The colonial government astronomers, with their dependence on one another for astronomical information, timekeeping, surveying and weather information, had established a form of scientific federalism that predated the moves to political federalism. The daily weather map of Australia inside each newspaper declared that there were fundamental meteorological relationships linking the colonies. Meteorology, like astronomy, was one of the specific functions listed in the Australian Constitution to be taken over by the Commonwealth Government, and in 1907 several Melbourne Observatory staff were transferred to the new Commonwealth Bureau of Meteorology.
The long-term value of the records was also recognised, and in 1919 the complete records of the Melbourne Observatory and its network of stations was statistically analysed and published.

Some, responding elsewhere to my "Stand with Crystal Dixon" post, below, are claiming that I've cast her case as part of the presumably fictional, overwrought, and paranoid "war against Christianity," and that I'm attempting to drum up hysteria against the imposition of "secular humanism."
People who read without preconceptions what I actually wrote will notice that I've done nothing of the kind, and that, in fact, I've expressly said that the specific content of Ms. Dixon's opinion is essentially irrelevant to my concerns.
My worry is rooted in my support of the First Amendment — but not merely the portion of the First Amendment that guarantees the "free exercise" of religion (which I do indeed take to apply even to employees of public universities when they're acting as private citizens). No, primarily I'm concerned about "the freedom of speech," which the authors of the First Amendment seemed to believe should not be lightly "abridged."
Liberty is a big deal with me. I'm weird that way.

In addition to reading wonderful nominations for deserving people, it's also so fun to see where the nominations came from. This one, for Ami, came from across the country in Washington state. Here is what Ryan said about Ami:
"Ami is the most thoughtful person I know. She is constantly doing sweet things for her friends across the nation. I am a Soldier in the Army and Ami has given me tickets to an Ohio State football game along with a "game survival kit" that had everything needed for the game. It had a hat(personalized with my name on it) to keep the sun out of my eyes, a poncho incase it rained, beer money for tailgating, aspirin incase of a hangover, gum for fresh breath, and a bunch of little things to make my day a memorable one. Ami also sent a good friend of ours a gift certificate to purchase a tree when his mother passed to plant in her honor. Ami is the most selfless and thoughtful person I know. These two instances are just two of many stories that Ami has done to make her friends' lives a lot better. Nominating her for recognition, such as this, is the least I can do for someone that has been so good to me and many others."
After sending Ami a box of chocolate dipped fruit, Ami responded to us:

Wish they would have talked more about the text messages in the article. When the equipment guys are texting each other and saying that Tom has directed them to deflate balls that is much more persuasive evidence for me than any of the stats I have seen so far.

|What does the 20% mean?
When you (and Brian) say 20%, is it people or subscribers? That's a huge difference. I'm the only one in my family that watches ESPN (1 out of 5 people or 20%) - because I want it, the family as a subscriber is buying it and will continue to do so (1 out of 1 - 100% in this very narrow example).

|Yes and no
Informative. The theme is correct as well as the general conclusion - it's very unlikely our next coach is going to have a Bo or even Carr length career at Michigan.
However, there is a logic gap in your extrapolation. A current coach who has been at a program for less than 10 years could still possibly remain at the school past the 10 year mark.
If I had to guess, I would say out of the current NCAA football coaches about a third of them will stay at their resepective program past that 10 year mark.

|Great write-up
Love the comment about the need for medical staff to have override power.
For that matter, teammates should have override power. As part of their onboarding and at least annual team meetings, as a major college football player you should explicitly be given the charge to have the courage to intervene. If you are an OL, and you see your quarterback a few yards away stumbling around you with symptoms - man up, tell him to sit down and let the medical staff take a look at him.

|Clock Management
The clock management at the end of the game didn't bother me. They were putting all of their eggs into one basket and they were in FG range before the fumble. A few more plays and a tying or go-ahead score and there wouldn't be enough time for Iowa to retake the lead.
The running plays of course did bother me just as much as they did you.

|Yes but also
They may have given up a lot of yards, but they also forced 4 turnovers and scored 7 themselves. The defense is far from perfect, but they are not the issue here.

|My take
1. Rule changes - why shoot for 100 yards rushing when it's just as easy to get 300 passing (or 400)
2. Partially related, running backs have become more of a commodity. I can't be for sure as to why, but there doesn't seem to be much separating a first rounder from a mid-round back these days. For every Adrian Peterson, there's a Trent Richardson.

|Good stuff as always
Always enjoy your posts.
Interesting that the Lions had a decently similar situation that ended up not working out for them. Of course a 9-6 game is usually a lot different than a 27-23 game, NFL vs college differences, etc.
Would be interested in seeing the analysis for the Lions if you have an opportunity - Mike and Mike were critical of the decision this morning but of course when talking about the Michigan game only talked about the FG to end regulation and how Northwestern keeps finding ways to lose - I didn't hear mention of M's 4th down situation.

He must not be giving the offense credit for the FG on the drive that started at the NW 11 yard line. I can't blame him - the offense didn't exactly earn that field position.

Really liked the first down stats. Out of those 26 first downs to only see 1 incompletion (and 3 total bad results from the passing game) - that's rather telling.
Would prefer more short passing on 1st down - tell Gardner if the first read or two isn't open to throw it away. Heck - I would rather see the chuck it deep every play offense; I can live with the occaisonal arm punt .

3 drives starting at the opponent's 40 yard line or better . . . 3 points to show for it (from a long field goal that had a fortuitous bounce off the upright).
You can make up all the excuses you want, but this offense still has Gallon, Funchess, Gardner, Lewan, and Schofield and yet it seems completely incompetent. That incompetence is one thing against the #1 defense in the country, but against this Nebraska squad at home - there can be no excuses.

|Bball and football differences
The Novak and Douglass contributions were undeniable. However in basketball, it is a lot more common than football to get big contributions from underclassmen. In 2010-11, a sophomore Darius Morris was a huge part of that tournament run. And last year of course, a sophomore Trey Burke (along with several freshmen) were instrumental to the team's success.
In basketball, the top prospects are often ready to go right to the NBA after a year or two of college. Football is of course very different in that respect - so although Hoke has been recruiting well, that is not going to immediately translate to on-field success.

|You are correct - about 42-43%
Page 123. It varies from year to year. For 2012, there were 108 makes on 261 attempts - 41.4%.
Interestingly on page 122 - statistically speaking you are more likely to make a 50 yard FG in college than a 2 point conversion attempt (though the FG number has a larger problem with selection bias).
|1 year 37 weeks ago
Whether you are an old school coach that has been through hundreds of games or just a coach potato like me who likes to look at some stats, we all implicitly or explicitly subscribe to some type of situational football strategy. Because these strategies are all based on prior experiences, by default they average everything - they work best if your team is average in every facet of the game and so is your opponent.
To make these strategies truly effective, you need to be able to make some tweaks. A 6-3 game is very different from a 50-47 game, and playing a cupcake is a little different than playing Alabama or your biggest rival (to use a few extremes).
When you have essentially zero production from your running backs, it is appropriate to tweak your game theory strategy. We can certainly argue about what exactly that might be, but presumably it would be anything other than I-form HB run between the tackles.
|1 year 37 weeks ago
I know the fan base is feeling down after the loss and some lingering effects of Akron and UConn.
Let's remember that our team is 5-1. That one loss was on the road in 4OT against a 4-2 team - although we had plenty of chances to win that game, it was a small miracle to be in the game at all after committing 3 1st half turnovers and falling down 11 points.
While no one is going to confuse this Michigan squad for a BCS bowl contender, we still control our own destiny in the Big Ten. No game is guaranteed, but there's really only one game that I would have difficulty imagining Michigan winning. Everyone else in the division has serious flaws that could be exposed on the right night.
|1 year 38 weeks ago
|Whatever man
Let's just say the Michigan receivers impressed me a little more than our quarterback did - though Gardner deserves credit as well.
You can quote a quarterback's stats, but it still takes somebody on the other end catching it. This isn't every throw in either case mind you but there were a few Gardner incompletions vs Akron and Connecticut that weren't any less accurate than some of the throws that were completions against Minnesota.
I did watch some NFL today, and I saw some balls touch receivers fingers and go to the turf. That is not something I recall seeing much of from Funchess and company yesterday - maybe the throw that was a bit high for Dileo.
|1 year 38 weeks ago
|Gardner inaccuracy
To be fair, I thought that Gardner was fairly inaccurate against Minnesota. However, unlike the last couple of games, our receivers actually managed to catch some of the difficult ones.
Take a look back at the game tape and you'll see more often than not that our receivers were catching balls thrown well behind them. The Funchess snag at the goal line to me typified the sort of throws Gardner had - I'm very glad those balls were thrown in spots such that the defense wasn't going to pick it off but as a fan I have to give a lot of credit to the young men catching the ball.

|All is right with the world
This game was eerily similar to the earlier Georgia - SC game. Both games featured 2 Top 25 teams. In both cases, the lower ranked team, playing at home, got up multiple scores early and despite the opponent closing to within 34-30 was able to hold on for a 41-30 win.

Gonzaga - they have one team on their schedule that is currently ranked in the AP Top 25 (Oklahoma State).

You say there are no mid-majors left that the big conferences would want, but I would not rule out Boise State so quickly. They are not quite as strong this year, but I think they will still be in the national conversation for the forseeable future.
On another note, I still don't fully understand why Notre Dame doesn't want to be in the Big Ten - it just seems to make way too much sense logically. But that could be it's own diary in and of itself.

|Still need a receiver to avoid intentional grounding
To avoid intentional grounding, there still needs to be a receiver plausibly in the vacinity of the pass - Brady's safety in the most recent Super Bowl is a great example of this.
On two of Bama's passes, there were clearly no receivers anywhere near the pass - simply trying to avoid a sack. It was without a doubt intentional grounding in the literal sense of the phrase.
As with several other items, it by itself did not matter in the outcome of the game, but it was annoying to me as a fan.

|Follow-up on Youth comment
The Lakers are an old team, and with trading four draft picks to Phoenix for a (relative, in basketball terms) old guy, they are not getting any younger anytime soon. The last few months, all of the pundits have been talking about how the Lakers need to get younger.
The Lakers will look for some young guy like Sessions or a bench guy like Morris to develop in lieu of those draft picks (or maybe just cross their fingers for more free-agent signings and trades to pick up some youth).

The nutrition hypothesis was also a poor fit to the data. The database shows that the kind of earth people eat most often is a type of clay that contains low amounts of nutrients like iron, zinc, and calcium. Plus, if calcium deficiency drove people to eat dirt, one would expect them to do it most often at life stages when they need calcium the mostadolescence or old age. But that isn't the case, according to the database. Reports do indicate that geophagy is often associated with anemia, but several studies have shown that cravings for earth continue even after people are given iron supplements. What's more, some research suggests that clay can bind to nutrients in the stomach, making them hard to digest. If that's true, it's not a lack of nutrients that causes geophagy; rather it could be the other way around.
Overall, the protection hypothesis fits the data best, the Cornell researchers found. The database shows that geophagy is documented most commonly in women in the early stages of pregnancy and in pre-adolescent children. Both categories of people are especially sensitive to parasites and pathogens, according to Young and her colleagues. In addition, geophagy is most common in tropical climates where foodborne microbes are abundant. Finally, the database shows that people often eat earth during episodes of gastrointestinal stress. It's unlikely the intestinal problems are caused by the dirt itself because the type of clay people usually eat comes from deep in the ground, where pathogens and parasites are unlikely to contaminate it. Plus, people usually boil the clay before eating it.
More study would be helpful to confirm the protection hypothesis, the researchers say, but the available data at this point clearly support it over the other explanations.

Exclusive: how the Mazda Furai died
Back in 2008, Mazda's incredible race concept disappeared without trace. Here's what happened
Posted: 19 Feb 2015
This morning saw The Stig arrive from nowhere, drive very fast down Bentwaters' 1.3-mile runway, nod with apparent approval to writer Bill Thomas and then disappear in the direction of Great Yarmouth. Following Stig's exit, Thomas has spent the last hour firing the car up and down the tarmac under the watchful eye of the Furai support team, works driver Mark Ticehurst and the local fire crew. With the story in the bag, Bill departs to file his copy, and I'm left with photographer Lee Brimble to ensure we do justice to what surely must be one of the most stunning concept cars ever created.

My experience is that the factory lube lasts a long time, but the looseness is definitely associated with usage. Use the lens more an dhte looser it gets faster. Maybe there is some issue with the amount of grease used, but there may be more of an issue with the shear strength; the grease comes in different "thicknesses".

Customer Reviews of PlayStation 3 Pro Gamers Case
Excellent Case2/19/2010
This is a great case for the original PS3 design with plenty of room for accessories. The system fits snug in a cushioned area and there is a velcro strap to lock it in. There is also a red strap the PS3 sits on that is used for removing the system from the tight fit. I use this case to move my PS3 from one house to another. However, it is not a piece of luggage and should not be used as such. The PS3 is a heavy and delicate machine and should never be thrown about or dropped. It is well built and sturdy. It's easy to use and much better than a soft-case, in my opinion.
Great transport case12/29/2008
This case has some serious design put into it. It is heavily constructed on the outside, and very spacious on the inside. I purchased one for my son. Anyone who owns a PS3 knows the money tied up in the system itself. I highly recommend this case as a SAFE haven for your system, wether it be for storage or transporting from one site to another. The inside compartments are designed for specific components and keeps it all held in place with very minimal, if any movement of the items.
Great Product5/14/2007
Just received the PS3 Pro Gamers case from your company. I have to say it is top notch all the way. It has very sturdy construction and was everything described at your site. This is only one of many products I have purchased from Buy.com and I have yet to be disappointed by any of them. I highly recommend this product and your site to anyone wanting a great product at a competive price.2 Helpful | 2 Not Helpful

Find Color by Name
Green rugs are a great way to brighten up and add depth to a room, and you can find many different shades and styles at Plush Rugs, designed to compliment any decorating scheme. Finding green rugs is now easier than ever, thanks to our site's built-in search feature, which allows you to narrow done your selection by the criteria that is most important to you.
Green, like blue is a color often associated with nature. Of all of the colors in existence, the human eye can recognize more shades of green than any other. Maybe this is why green area rugs are such popular decorating choices. Light greens convey calmness and peacefulness, and are often paired with shades of blue to achieve this effect. Lighter shades of green can also make a room appear larger. People who choose green as their favorite color are usually stable, compassionate and loyal and, as is to be expected, have a strong regard for nature.
In contrast, dark green rugs often convey power and prestige. Green is the color that is associated with money, after all. This color is often used in libraries and universities, and dark green area rugs, particularly those that feature blues and reds, are popular choices. Search for a green rug today from Plush Rugs and you will see just how versatile this color can be.
When it comes to themes, for example, any theme centered around nature is the perfect choice for a green rug. Try a light green and pink flowered rug for a traditional look, or a playful, bright green rug with a leaf motif for a tropical themed room or bathroom. The choices are endless. Start your search for your new green area rug today and order quickly and easily online without ever having to leave the house.

PIERRE, S.D. – (DRG News) The weeks from now through early September bring what health officials call the peak transmission time for West Nile virus in South Dakota. Late last month, the South Dakota Department of Health said a Hughes County resident was the first human West Nile virus detection of the season. State Epidemiologist Dr. Lon Kightlinger says it's likely more cases of West Nile will show up as the summer progresses.
Kightlinger says South Dakota and a few neighboring states seem to be hit the hardest by the bird disease, which is transmitted to humans by mosquitos.
Kightlinger says state and local agencies do what they can to cut mosquito numbers, but personal precautions against mosquito bites are also important.
Kightlinger says those who come down with West Nile virus experience symptoms ranging from a headache to having a fever or a rash. He says those experiencing a severe headache should see their doctor. All age groups from infant to elderly have had West Nile in South Dakota. The state has reported more than 2,000 human cases since the first West Nile detection in 2002 and 32 have died from it.

Spring is the perfect time to refresh and renew with simple steps towards better digestive health. The body constantly requires adaptation in response to related periods of life, the change of seasons, as well as everyday environmental and lifestyle factors. I'm thrilled to share with you my top five steps to refresh and renew your digestive system this spring season.
We all encounter stress in different parts of our lives. But in a nutshell, stress affects skin in five ways: accelerated aging, adult acne, irritation, dullness and dehydration. When skin is stressed it does not act properly, it's out of balance, it's literally exhausted, irritable, drained and depleted.
More women need to step up, lean in, and otherwise support and encourage each other to assume more leadership roles. Not only because we are 50 per cent of the workforce, but because it only makes sense that we will create a happier, healthier, and more productive country when we -- men and women together -- utilize our collective intelligence and maximize our opposing strengths.
You may have noticed that your social media feeds have been inundated with the #BellLetsTalk hashtag. That's because Bell Let's Talk day is on Wednesday, January 28. We need workplaces that value their employees' mental health. Employers need to lead by example by recognizing workplace signs of undiagnosed depression, such as difficulty making decisions, decreased productivity, inability to concentrate and any unusual increases in errors in work, just to name a few.
Something is amiss in Canada. A 2014 UNICEF report compared the health and development of children in Canada with 28 other wealthy nations. In spite of being a G8 country, Canada's children rank number 17th, a status that has not budged in the last 10 years. The question is, why are these problems still so widespread?
So when you're sitting at the dinner table eating turkey dinner for the tenth time or struggling to find room for all those new presents, consider yourself grateful. Please don't take anything you have for granted. What you consider such a normal part of the holidays are things people like me dream about and yearn for.
You may think it's more difficult to be healthy over the holiday season, but many of your favourite holiday foods are stuffed with nutrition. When you practice portion control and tweak preparation techniques, you'll cruise through the season with the health benefits and energy to fight off any germs lurking on the scene. Here are three immune-boosting holiday foods to include on your menu all season long.
About five years ago, I was going through a really challenging life transition. I couldn't sleep and was experiencing a good amount of anxiety. I did not want to try medications or sleep aids, so I opted for essential oils to calm my nerves and bring my life back into balance. Since this period in my life, I have been curious about the benefits of scents.
Dear Teacher: You called after me today. I was frustrated. Angry. Tired and lonely. And I didn't want to hear someone tell me for the bazillionth time all that I had done wrong. Tell me how I had been a bully. A bad boy. The truth is: I know. I know I am a bully. I have a hard time making friends because I'm different. But you took the time.
Anxiety is the number one mental health concern for children. Our children are growing up in a highly anxious world, surrounded by a massive amount of stimulation and information. Here are some practical and important tips to assist you with grounding your children in this anxious world, and helping them develop their self regulation capabilities.

SPOKANE - Wa-Hi took the game away from Gonzaga Prep for nearly three quarters here on Tuesday night.
When Gary Winston scored a driving layin with 3:22 on the third-period clock, Wa-Hi led by nine points, 42-33.
The Bullpups then closed out the period with a 12-0 run to lead 45-42.
Prep then outscored the Blue Devils 25-20 in the final quarter to claim a 70-62 Class 4A first-round Eastern Regional boys basketball victory.
The loss sends the 20-5 Blue Devils into a 7 p.m. loser-out game against Eisenhower (17-8) on Friday at the Toyota Center in Kennewick.
Wa-Hi needs a victory on Friday and a win on Saturday to earn a ticket to the state tournament next week in Tacoma.
"In the second half, we just gave up too many points," Wa-Hi coach John Golden said about Tuesday's loss. "We wanted to keep it in the 50s to have a shot at it.
"The third quarter really hurt us," Golden said. "They went on that run and we couldn't shut it off."
In the first half, Wa-Hi's defense controlled the Bullpups' main threat, Ryan Nicholas, limiting him to three shots from the floor and eight points.
That changed dramatically in the third quarter when the 6-foot-7 University of Portland recruit scored 10 points, including five in Prep's 12-0 run in the final three minutes of the period.
With their 45-42 lead going into the fourth period, and with Nicholas adding 13 points to his total for a game-high 31, the Bullpups held Wa-Hi at bay, 25-20.
The final minutes became a free-throw shooting contest, and the Blue Devils could gain no ground.
Nicholas, working in the paint, hit 10-of-11 shots from the floor and 11-of-13 from the free-throw line.
Winston led Wa-Hi with 21 points.
Michael Weisner scored 18 points and pulled off a team-high five rebounds and three steals.
Colton Arias scored 14 points, including 10 in the first half, and grabbed four rebounds.
Winston also had four rebounds and three assists.
"We had a little trouble scoring in the third quarter, and they got the ball inside a little too much," Golden said. "We did a good job of taking care of that in the first half.
"But in the second half they got some offensive boards. They got rolling, and we just gave up too many points the second half," he continued. "The last three minutes of the third quarter was when they made their run, and we weren't able to withstand it.
"We still hung in, and it was still reachable, but then it was more of the same in the fourth quarter," Golden said. "And of course they hit their free throws down the stretch.
"I'm proud of our guys," he said. "They came up here and battled them tough.
"We still have a way to get into this thing (and win a ticket to state)," he continued. "We've got to take care of business on Friday and then on Saturday we're playing for a trip.
"Our guys will bounce back," Golden said. "They've done that all year, and I expect us to be ready to go on Friday."
Gonzaga Prep, 21-2, faces Richland, 21-3, at 9 p.m. Friday with a ticket to state on the line.
Ike lost to Richland, 91-60, on Tuesday, and in the other games, Kamiakin beat University, 60-45, and Mead edged Davis, 60-55.
The other loser-out game Friday sends Davis (18-7) against University (11-13) at 9 p.m.
The other winners' bracket game features Kamiakin (19-5) against Mead (18-5) at 7 p.m.

U.S. Olympic Ski Team 'lives high, trains low'
Bode Miller of the US skis over the 'Bear's brow' jump during the second training at the men's World Cup downhill event on February 9, 2012 at the Rosa Khutor mountain resort in Krasnaya Polyana, near Sochi.
Have you ever heard the phrase "live high, train low"? It's part of the strategy employed by a U.S. Olympic Ski Team about to head to Sochi for the games. The idea is to acclimate the body to an altitude with less oxygen, which can boost performance. Today, on the second conversation in our sports and tech series "Gaming the System," Marketplace Tech talks with Jim Stray-Gundersen, who advises Team USA and pumps nitrogen into athletes' bedrooms so they can live high and train low.

Transportation to Vatican
Our hotel is located on Via Tor de' Conti (close to Trajan's Market & Forum, I think). We are visiting the Vatican and St. Peter's on a Monday (only day we have). I will reserve online for the Vatican but wanted to know about how long it would take to get up, eat breakfast and find transportation (metro or bus) to the Vatican. I can make our appt. at 9:00 but what time would I have to leave the hotel, or should I make it later (since I am bypassing the line anyway)? Also any info on transportation to get there would be appreciated. Thanks so much! Sorry, one more thing...I was planning on the Vatican first, then St. Peter's, is that a good plan?

Which of the new old guys should the Astros bring back for 2012?
Every year about this time, major league teams search for the veteran leadership they will build around for the future. For most teams, the nucleus is obvious from season to season. For the Houston Astros, finding the veterans to anchor the 2012 team is like finding the broad side of a barn in a dense fog. [Read More]

Strategic walks pay off for Astros
The Astros have been a bit four-finger happy lately, but the decisions to issue a pair of intentional walks before the ninth inning in a tie game Wednesday didn't compare to Sunday's move of walking Toronto's Jose Bautista, who's setting the American League on fire, in the ninth. [Read More]
Talking points: How much has an imploding bullpen cost the Astros?
The Astros are last in the major leagues in pitching and defensive efficiency. They have the worst record in the National League. It doesn't take a team of sabermetricians, then, to determine pitching and defense – or to be more precise, a lack thereof – are a problem. [Read More]
A Blowout That Wasn't Figueroa's Fault
Last night we were reminded in vivid detail that our bullpen has probably been the least reliable part of the team so far. Going into the game, everyone assumed the Astros would probably be blown out because Nelson Figueroa was pitching. In other words, Figgy hasn't exactly been that reliable. Though a 4 run difference […] [Read More]
Damage control thing of the past for reliever Fulchino

3 Arrests in Cartel Informant Killing
By KRWG News
El Paso – Three people are in jail in connection with the killing of a Mexican drug cartel lieutenant and U.S. informant.
El Paso police say three men were arrested Monday. The exact charges aren't being released.
The trio is accused of shooting to death Jose Daniel Gonzalez Galeana, a Juarez drug cartel lieutenant and informant for U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement.
Gonzalez was shot eight times in front his house May 15. Police have previously said Gonzalez may have been killed as revenge for his role as an informant.

How Fast Can You Get Affordable Internet
I am interested in what they call gigabit Internet, which is a real high speed internet. You see them advertise a lot of the fiber or fios type systems in this style, but I am not sure that they really have it or not. It depends on how well you want to describe it and how literal you want to be with the term. For example U verse guarantees you around fifty megabytes per second, which is a really great speed compared to what you can get from normal DSL (U verse is a really good type of DSL from what I understand) or from cable broadband. You usually expect to get 25 mb/s from a cable broadband internet connection, but that is going to be under the best of conditions. You are going to get a considerably less amazing speed at the really high usage times of the day. That is around 9 PM at night when every body is at home and not yet gone to sleep.
At any rate you have to figure that most internet that you can get now are not really this good and a lot of the ones that claim to be this good are less than what you would literally want if you expected this sort of speed. Of course I am interested in this because we use a lot of bandwidth. I live with my Mom and my Dad, two brothers and a sister. All of us have our own computer and other devices. There must be five tablets and seven phones in the house. All of these are using wi fi at some point during the day. My brothers are using a lot of internet and so am I, so there is not really enough for us all to be happy.
Top Web Designers for Mumbai
I am trying to start a small business up in Mumbai, and there are some challenges to starting the type of business that I want to start, in this area. I am going to overcome them to the best that I can, because I am confident in my business model, and a lot of people have told me that it is a good idea. I would like to find a web designer in mumbai to hire, so that I can get him to build a website for my new company.
I really feel that a website is the best way to market my website, and that it is also crucial to the business model that I am going to try to follow. I have a lot of ideas for the website that I have started to write down, and I would like to hire a web designer that will be flexible, and work with me, to make my idea for a website come to life.
Looking for a Better Internet Deal
I am going to have to economize because of circumstances beyond my control, quite simply I have run into a situation where I just can not afford to go on paying for the internet service that I am getting from my current cable company. My car blew the head gasket and that just put me in the toilet cash flow wise, so I am going to have to just figure out what I can do to save myself a whole lot of money. Searching around the web I find a deal offered on this site, internetproviders.us. › Continue reading

Series of Bombings in Iraq Targets Shiites
At Least 45 Are Killed; Officials Warn Attacks Are Aimed at Restarting a Wave of Sectarian Violence
BAGHDAD -- Two dump trucks packed with 6,600 pounds of high-grade explosives flattened a large swath of a Shiite village in northern Iraq on Monday, while a string of smaller bombs rocked Baghdad.
The attacks, which left at least 45 people dead across the country, are part of a wave of violence aimed at rekindling the sectarian bloodshed that swept Iraq in 2006 and 2007, according to U.S. and Iraqi officials.
Though violence in Iraq remains at postwar lows, insurgent groups are still able to launch deadly attacks in many areas. Monday's attacks followed coordinated attacks on Shiite worshippers on two consecutive Fridays.
After Monday's attacks, Iraqi and U.S. officials reiterated praise for Iraq's Shiites, who have shown restraint in the face of the attacks -- unlike in earlier stages of the war, when sectarian attacks by Sunni insurgents triggered widespread, violent reprisals by Shiite militias and plunged the country into near-civil war for two years.
"These attacks have failed to move the Iraqi people to ethno-sectarian violence," a spokesman for the U.S. military in Baghdad said. "Instead, the Iraqi people have been galvanized against violence. They remember the dark days of 2006-2007 and refuse to be taken back to that time."
The Fight for Iraq
See day-by-day events in the below interactive map.
Monday's twin bombings in the village of Khazna, north of Mosul in Nineveh province, were particularly gruesome. Two dump trucks, each carrying 3,300 pounds of military-grade explosives, struck at 4:30 a.m. in a village that is home to Shiite Kurds belonging to the Shabak minority, according to Iraqi police spokesman Abdul Karim Khalaf.
The blasts flattened nearly 40 homes, Mr. Khalaf said, killing at least 28 people and burying dozens beneath the rubble.
A series of at least eight smaller bomb attacks, including roadside bombs and one car bomb, struck the capital, Baghdad, on Monday, killing 17 people, according to police officials.
Most struck in Shiite-majority districts, but three roadside bombs exploded in the predominantly Sunni district of Adhammiya, the officials said.
The explosives used in the Khazna attack were hard-to-find military-grade explosives, according to Mr. Khalaf. "The use of these rare explosives suggests some very powerful and organized entity is behind these attacks," he said. He declined to speculate what that entity might be, but said the attacks had "al Qaeda in Iraq's fingerprints all over them."
Khazna is south of the border of the Kurdish Autonomous Region, within a disputed belt of land claimed by the federal government in Baghdad. It is largely controlled by Kurdish Peshmerga forces. Tensions along the disputed border have heated up in recent months, which has helped keep the insurgency alive.
"We are plagued by al Qaeda trying to stir sectarian hatred on the one hand, and political violence between Kurds and Arabs on the other," said Abdel Raheem Shimmeri, a member of the Nineveh provincial council. "We can't solve the first problem until we solve the second."

Buffett Clashes With Munger Over U.S. Corporate Taxes at Meeting
May 4 (Bloomberg) -- Warren Buffett, the billionaire chairman and chief executive officer of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., clashed with his long-time business partner over corporate taxes.
Buffett suggested ignoring companies' complaints over tax rates, while Vice Chairman Charlie Munger said levies should be reduced.
"American business is complaining enormously about the level of the corporate income tax," Buffett, 82, said today at Berkshire's annual meeting in Omaha, Nebraska, where the firm is based. "I would have you take that with a grain of salt."
Munger disagreed, saying that higher taxes hurt U.S. firms as foreign governments lower levies on competitors.
"The corporate tax rate should be lower," Munger said. "When the rest of the world keeps bringing the rates down, there's some disadvantage to us if we're much higher."
Munger, 89, said he concurs with Buffett that the richest U.S. individuals should pay more taxes. Buffett has pushed for higher levies on top earners, pointing out that his secretary has paid a higher percentage of her income in taxes than he has.
Buffett attributed his dispute with Munger over company taxes to politics. Munger is a Republican, while he's a Democrat, Buffett said.

Be Handsome.. Be Attractive.. and Don't Be Unattractive.
I'm giving this a shot until the end of the month. Let's see how it goes! Things I like: trivia, watching movies, quoting movies/shows (hence my headline-if you don't know it, it's a great skit), shoes (the higher the heel, the better!), wheat beer, cooking/baking, the beach, honesty, Christmas, Halloween, the 4th of July, learning, sarcasm, singing in the car, the color pink, being independent, traveling, dessert, music, Malbec, being goofy, Marilyn Monroe, animals, my family, Boston, RI, going out, laughing, the 40's (I'm interested in the war, as well as the fashion and traditional behavior of the time), sushi, and being a speech-language pathologist. Favorite Movies: Dumb & Dumber, Animal House, Caddyshack, Back to the Future, Supertroopers, Silence of the Lambs, Some Like It Hot, The Seven Year Itch, Let's Make Love, the Vacation movies, Anchorman, Harry Potter, The Mighty Ducks Favorite TV Shows: Tosh.0, The Office, Jeopardy!, Family Guy, MST3k, Jersey Shore and some of the Real Housewives shows (YES I said it), Modern Family, True Blood, Game of Thrones, Arrested Development, It's Always Sunny, Boardwalk Empire, Girls, The Golden Girls (love me some Betty White), American Horror Story Favorite Music: Queen, AC/DC, Pink Floyd, the Beatles, Jay-Z, Young Money, David Gray, John Mayer, Billy Joel, Van Morrison, Rihanna, Carrie Underwood (country music sparingly)...I'm pretty eclectic with my music taste. Things I don't like: dishonesty, selfies in the mirror, ignorance, men in sandals (not flip-flops, those are cute), true laziness, when people don't say thank you, a lack of a sense of humor, most chick flicks, cold weather with no snow, tow trucks, mean girls, super quiet people, the idea of gardening, and caffeine (I know, I know. I do love coffee though. As long as its decaf. And flavored. With skim milk.). In one combination or another, I'm looking for someone who is/has: kind, smart, a sense of humor, fun, attractive, educated, happy, close to his family, outgoing, active, willing to try new things, and healthy (with a healthy side of unhealthiness); Someone who is just interested in letting things go where they may; someone who is honest, goofy, and caring. I think one of my top priorities would be a similar sense of humor, as well as physical attraction. Those are vital to me. I'm a hybrid of complete nerd/goofball and a girly-girl.
Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Nightclubs/Dancing , Shopping/Antiques , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Baseball, Billiards / Pool, Bowling, Cycling, Dancing, Hockey, Other types of exercise, Running, Skiing, Swimming, VolleyBall, Walking / Hiking, Yoga
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I have Cats
I have a cat. I'm not a crazy cat lady. I do love him though. I love dogs. The risk-getting-bitten-just-to-pet-one kind of love. I have a coonhound who lives with my parents who's the best brother one could ask for.
Going out in the Financial District, the Fenway area, and general downtown Boston. Beach, Boston, Southern RI, White Mountains, Paris.
Didn't I just....?
I like to go to Red Sox/Celtics/Bruins games, bars, the beach, the movies, and just spend time with my favorite people.
The last books I read were The Hunger Games and 50 Shades of Grey. I know...girly much? While I thoroughly enjoy learning, most educational books don't interest me; unless its a biography. 22 straight years of school will do that to a person.
