Continuing the 50-part series that is The United States of Pizza, here's Jenn Sit makin' like a cheechako in the Last Frontier. —The Mgmt.

No translation is perfect, and that's especially true for a machine translation service like Google Translate. From now on, when you translate a text using Google Translate and Google finds some reliable alternate translations, you can pick one of them.
"Just click the translated phrase and you'll see a pop-up menu of possible alternates for that phrase, as well as the original phrase highlighted in your original text. Not only can these alternative translations give you a better understanding of a confusing translation, but they also allow you to help Google choose the best alternative when we make a mistake," explains Google.
It's interesting to notice that the new feature helps you better understand the technology behind Google Translate. "Typically, when we produce a translation, our system searches through millions of possible translations, selecting the best -- that is, the most statistically likely -- translation. With this feature, we expose more of those possible alternatives."
Right now, Google only shows alternate translations when you try to translate a text, so this doesn't work for web pages.

Alpha Natural Resources, a leading U.S. coal supplier, today announced the opening of the Running Right Leadership Academy, a state-of-the-art comprehensive education and training facility for mine safety and operations located in Julian, W.Va.
"The success of our company and industry starts with safety," said Kevin Crutchfield, chairman and CEO of Alpha Natural Resources. "The Running Right Leadership Academy is the culmination of years of planning and hard work, and we are proud to have brought this concept to reality. The scale and scope of the facility is the first of its kind in the industry, demonstrating our leadership and commitment to the well-being of our employees."
"Coal runs deep in West Virginia. It employs thousands of our people and contributes to the economic development of our communities," said West Virginia Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin. "We need to ensure that miners return home safely after every shift. The Running Right Leadership Academy marks a major advance in that goal. We are proud to host this world-class facility in our state and believe that it will become a beacon for safety throughout the industry."
Alpha has invested approximately $23 million into the facility and development of the curriculum which is extensive and integrates a broad range of subject areas including technical, safety and leadership skills. It will be a resource for miners who work underground, as well as surface miners and office support personnel.
The Alpha Academy is a 136,000 square foot campus that includes classroom space for up to 300 people; a 96,000 square foot lab that can simulate mine situations and conditions; labs for electrical, welding and maintenance skills training; the latest mine safety technologies, including air flow sensors and multi-gas hand held detectors; a command center for mine rescue and emergency preparedness training; and facilities and equipment for supervisory leadership skill training. Virtual reality simulators will allow participants to operate continuous mining machines, roof bolters, scoop and haul trucks and receive real-time feedback on their performance. All employees in the Alpha organization will eventually go through the Academy, which will supplement the company's existing mine safety training programs.
"The Alpha Academy is an extension of Alpha's employee-driven Running Right safety philosophy, which focuses on eliminating at-risk behavior through employee observation and reporting. Our ultimate aim is to further improve employee safety and regulatory performance so that we move closer to zero safety related incidents," said Crutchfield.
To commemorate the opening, Alpha is hosting a ribbon cutting ceremony at the facility that will be attended by state and local elected officials, community leaders, employees and other business partners.

Evaluation of GSK561679 in Women With Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a chronic and common anxiety disorder that follows exposure to an overwhelming traumatic event. The majority of patients with PTSD also meet criteria for other psychiatric disorders and PTSD is associated with an increased risk for suicide attempts.
PTSD is responsive to psychological and pharmacological treatments, such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), but response rates rarely exceed 60%, and even fewer patients (20-30%) achieve clinical remission. Thus, there is a clear need to develop novel and improved therapeutics for PTSD.
This study will test the hypothesis of whether an antagonist at the corticotropin releasing factor type 1 receptor (i.e. GSK561679) is superior to placebo in reducing symptoms of PTSD. The study is being conducted at 2 sites in the United States: a site at Emory University, and one at Mount Sinai School of Medicine. About 150 women outpatients aged 21 to 65 who currently suffer from PTSD will be enrolled. Study participation could last for up to about 12 weeks.
The study is divided into 4 phases:
Phase 1 (Screening): a 1 week no drug screening period to assess study eligibility.
Phase 2 (Pre-Treatment Testing Period): Eligible patients will be enrolled into a 1 week Testing Phase, which will include neuropsychological and neurophysiological testing as well as blood draws and electrocardiogram.
Phase 3 (Treatment Period): Eligible patients will be enrolled in a two-armed 6-week period of double-blind placebo-controlled acute treatment. All subjects who continue to meet eligibility criteria will be randomized to one of two groups: GSK561679 (at a fixed dose of 350 mg/day) or placebo. Randomization will be performed at a 1:1 ratio into two treatment groups. Neuropsychological and neurophysiological testing will be repeated after 5 weeks of the double-blind treatment period.
Phase 4 (Follow-up Period): Safety follow-up visits will be conducted 1 week and 1 month after the end of the treatment Phase 3.
Primary efficacy outcome measure for the study will be the Clinician-Administered PTSD scale (CAPS).
Secondary efficacy outcome measure will include the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS).
Safety measures will include adverse event recording at every visit, clinical laboratory measures, vital sign parameters, electrocardiograms (ECGs), and physical examinations.

text: This book is very special to me. I've read from an early age, horror and "SCI-FI" / fantasy being the stuff i enjoy. I've been a career writer for the past 9 years and have finally finished my first novel, which is a horror.. and I doubt I would have got into writing had it not been for reading this book... maybe i would have, however It had a tremendous impact on me... I was about 13 at the time and found it by chance, written as Bachman, in a second hand book shop... I was going on a family holiday to greece.. so far as endings to books go, the count down from 100 to ooo was thrilling and I loved how gritty the atmosphere of the novel was... When I heard there was a film of it made I nearly died with excitement (slight exaggeration) - it is by far the worst book to film ever made.. even if it hadn't been taken from the book it sucked!!! I also write screenplays and I've always dreamt about remaking the running man, true to the story... Ben Richards going to the games federation, his kid dying, his wife turning tricks for old bucks to buy cheap dope for the baby!!! It has all the hallmarks of an amazing film... instead they changed the entire plot and let that musclebound "actor" Swarznigger play the role... I have faith in my own writing to take me where I want to go and hopefully one day I'll be able to make this situation right... I know that I would need the authors permission, and at the moment this is little more than a pipe dream - I'm not even sure if Stephen reads these messages although I'd be interested to hear what he thought of the movie... If you do read this Stephen I'd just like to thank you for your amazing contribution to the horror genre... I read a swedish novel let the right one in, where you were used as a comparison (and the person said they actually meant it) - however I still don't think anyone has come close to your standards yet, except perhaps myself :-) Everyone i speak to always says the shining is their favourite novel and I think it's definatly the best that's worked as a film, however the running man is one of my all time favourites.. and you have a few books in my all time favourites! So let me know what you thought about the running man movie if you should happen to read this and can reply to posts!

Withings Wi-Fi Body Scale review: The best way to track your weight on iPhone and iPad
Withings is a simple, beautiful way to keep track of your weight and BMI right on your iPhone or iPad and achieve your health goals!
The Withings Wi-Fi Body Scale brings new, highly mobile technology to bear on an age old task -- keeping track of your weight over time. We've had scales in one form or another for years. The old analog scales that you stepped on and watched the needle move across the numbers in joy or horror. The big, white doctor's scale that they tapped into place to measure both height and weight. The digital scales with the big red numbers that held your hopes in their flashing lights. Those all measured our weight, but they didn't keep track of our weight. We were left to scribble or type in the measurements on our own, and as we all know, the requirement for manual recording creates a remarkable point of failure.
Withings does all that heavy lifting for you. You set it up, step on it, and it records everything you need, and sends it to your iPhone or iPad for easy tracking at any time. And it isn't just limited to tracking your weight. It can track your whole family.
The set up part is easy and the instructions clear and concise. There's some assembly required, mainly attaching the little plastic feet. Then you plug in the scale to your computer over USB, setup the Wi-Fi connection, create a Withings account, and you're good to go. Each Withings scale can handle up to 8 family members or users, and for privacy reasons each can have his or her own account.
Once you're set up, just start using it as you would any traditional scale. Now, it does take a while to give a reading, sometimes a little too long. It measures your BMI (Body Mass Index) as well as your weight. Though these aren't the most accurate types of BMI readings, the consistency and convenience easily overcome those concerns.
Since this is an online product, Withings of course has all the social sharing options you'd expect. You can choose to share with no one, or if you so choose, with your doctor, personal training, or even the entire world via Twitter. While I supposed public sharing might encourage you through peer pressure, it's not something I'd ever turn on. Smartly, privacy is well considered overall by Withings. For example, you may see people Tweeting their Withings weight, but it's not enabled by default.
Withins also works with a good variety of other, popular health and fitness apps and services, including Fitbit, Gym Technik, Run Keeper, Weightbot, Endomondo, their own WiScale app, and many others. Along with goal setting -- and an understand of how to set realistic, attainable goals -- this helps you keep yourself accountable, stay motivated, and get healthier.
The good
- Makes tracking your weight and BMI a breeze
- Supports up to 8 users with good privacy controls
- Accessible from iPhone, iPad, and web
- No subscriptions or recurring costs
- Works with many other popular services and accessories
- Stunning looking
The bad
- Not the most accurate form of BMI measure
- Costs more than a regular scale (obviously)
The bottom line
If you care about tracking your weight and your BMI, then the Withings Wi-Fi Body Scale is absolutely the best way to do it. It's easy to set up, stunningly good looking, and interfaces not only with your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad, but with a lot of other popular health and fitness services and equipment as well. Taking care of yourself is hard enough. Eat right, sleep right, and exercise hard. Let Withings take care of keeping track and keeping you on track.

Withings Wi-Fi Body Scale review: The best way to track your weight on iPhone and iPad
It's just great. I've had mine for more than a year, and I've only had to change the batteries once. Being able to track your weight day to day is a good motivation to stick to your diet.
Believe you're supposed to be barefoot for accurate body fat measurement.
Suprised that Georgia didn't want us to see her toenails which are each decorated with an Apple logo! :-)

Topic Overview
What happens when you are stressed?
Stress is what you feel when you have to handle more than you are used to. When you are stressed, your body responds as though you are in danger. It makes hormones that speed up your heart, make you breathe faster, and give you a burst of energy. This is called the fight-or-flight stress response.
Some stress is normal and even useful. Stress can help if you need to work hard or react quickly. For example, it can help you win a race or finish an important job on time.

|waf·fle 1 (wfl)n.A light crisp battercake baked in a waffle iron.
|waf·fle 2 (wfl) Informalv. waf·fled, waf·fling, waf·flesv.tr. - To speak, write, or act evasively about.
Something strange happens as you walk along Robson St approaching Denman in downtown Vancouver. It may take a moment to detect the conspicuous absence, but as you walk past the McDonalds on the corner of Robson and Bidwell, the smell that overtakes your senses is not that familiar greasy fry. By some miracle, the tiny Nero Belgian Waffle Bar located next door has eclipsed that ubiquitous aroma with the sweet sugary scent of their delightful delicacies. And if the smell alone isn't enough to lure you inside the small but very pleasant interior, the friendly Belgian owners and their incredible talent for making their most famous national dish should convince you.
The first time we stumbled upon this I myself was not convinced. I didn't even order a waffle. You see, I don't consider myself a waffle lover by any stretch. In days gone by, I would have voted pancake every time – hands down. But I have been converted and I have now visited Nero for breakfast every weekend for the past three weeks. I have tried the Savoury Brussels waffle with Bocconcini, cherry tomatoes, cucumber salsa, olive oil and lemon zest, the Parisienne waffle with brie cheese, walnuts, honey, and added strawberries, the sweet and chewy Liege with Belgian chocolate, and the light and crispy Brussels waffle with ice cream and strawberries.
I quickly put aside the notion that this is something I could create myself by procuring a waffle iron of my own. These guys do it so well, that I am happy to return again and again rather than try in vain to recreate the perfection they seem to achieve unfailingly. And as an added bonus, the espresso and atmosphere make it a great choice for a coffee stop! There's nothing to waffle about here! I will bring everyone I can to this cozy little wooden sided secret spot. I'm even inviting you right now!
Visit Nero at 1703 Robson Street, Vancouver, BC.

Very excited to be at 34 weeks, really can't believe it, schedule csection is just under 3 weeks away! Hope I get there!!! I landed myself in L & D triage on Wednesday... ALL DAY! The baby did great with the non stress test and u/s was good, normal fluid etc... I however would have also passed a NST because my pulse went up to 142 a few times. I explained to them that I have some PTSD, lost my first daughter due to preeclamsia and I think it is just stress related. OBGYN that was on call (not mine) said he wanted me to see cardiologist since peoples body's change during pregnancy etc. I said okay, went to L & D... and waited... bp 123/77 when doc was in the room... doc walks out, machine takes it again shortly later 103/63 (guess I really do have white coat syndrome). Two docs walk in pulse goes up to 142, they leave, back down to 102... I know 102 isn't great, but is much lower then 142. I got an ekg, normally other then fast heart rate, echo came back normal... I waited ELEVEN hours to see someone, and then we signed ourselves out. I just couldn't take there anymore. i was starting to panic, hadn't eating since 7:30am and it was 7pm, hardly drank anything, need my lovenex injection... and there seemed to be no end to the waiting. PLUS my doc is aware my pulse shoots up. So they scared the crap out of me saying if my pulse is that high the baby might not be getting what he needs etc, but the baby was fine during the NST when my pulse was up, so I'm trying to calm back down and keep my pulse down.
My pulse was 93 tonight which is pretty good. I have another NST on wednesday and OBGYN on friday... hopefully they are both uneventful!!

I am new here and I am looking for some advice.
My son was born in April. He was a 27 weeker, I had pre-eclampsia and *p syndrome as I know many of you have had.
I have a double question, first of all my son is 10 months now (corrected age 7 months) he weighs about 14.5 and is 25 inches long. I am worried because he did not have much weight gain in the past month and I really got used to him gaining about 1lb. a month. My Dr. says not to worry and we should keep an eye on it. Did any of you see a slow down in growth at a certain age??
My second question is about his testicles, we are going to a urologist next week for a visit, it seems as if the little buggers are hiding (not missing I hope) I know this is common with boys both full term and preemie, did any of you have this to deal with as well??
Any advice or help would be great, I hate to be so worried all of the time.

BAKER — Scott Johnson's first offseason as the new Baker baseball coach has finally ended.
With the official start of preseason practice last week, Johnson got his team on the field for a crash course in the Gators' new way of playing baseball.
The week concluded Saturday with an overnighter that started with 3 p.m. practice Friday afternoon.
"We've done the overnight thing at Mount Dora in Orlando, we did it in Georgia at Harris County and we did it three years at Choctawhatchee High School," Johnson said. "It builds some camaraderie. What the guys understand is baseball has to mean something to them.
"If we gave them today off, a lot of these kids, under normal circumstances, would be sitting at the house or in the woods or something. Now, they have to be here practicing baseball just during baseball season. It brings everybody closer together and we learn a lot."
The overnighter was more than a giant sleepover at the school. Every aspect of the 20-hour event had a specific purpose in teaching players to work with each other and strengthen the Gators' bond.
The night included, among other things, physical training sessions, drills to rescue a downed pilot, players serving turns on night watch and the team watching the classic Clint Eastwood movie, "The Outlaw Josey Wales."
Many of the activities came from Johnson's military days.
"Basically, what we need is when the umpire points to the batter and says, 'Play ball,' we know that we have nine soldiers on the field, nine players that are going to play as hard as they can play," he said. "They are going to do everything the right way. And if they don't do it the right way, they are going to do it as hard as they can and learn from their mistakes."
Johnson, who was most recently at Choctaw and has coached at other large schools and at the junior college level, likes what he has seen from the Gators.
He has been most impressed by the players' willingness to ask questions as they digest the new drills he's installing with the program.
"One of the things I like about these kids is there is a lot of automatic feedback," he said. "A lot of the things we do, at bigger schools, the players have done travel ball and they take those things for granted. Well here, the kids have never heard those things and they do a good job of picking up on them.
"What we consider the littlest thing is something these guys have never heard of and they jump all over it and they listen. They are getting a lot of stuff thrown at them and I'm going to be excited to see how it turns out."
Johnson stressed that baseball is a game where the biggest, strongest and fastest don't always come out on top.
"The thing, to me, that makes baseball special and the best game in the world is the best player doesn't necessarily always win," he said. "You've got to be in the right place at the right time and you've got to be fundamentally correct and then you have to understand the game.
"If you can do those things — be in the right place at the right time, get there and be fundamentally sound when you get there and talk to each other and communicate — then you have a pretty good chance of being as good as you can be."

Before the season, Carroll County's volleyball team set a goal to leave the Southwest District the same way it came in – as district champions. The Cavaliers achieved its mission by sweeping the regular season and district tournament championships with two wins over Marion.
The Cavs earned the right to host the Southwest District Tournament semifinals and finals and host a Region IV quarterfinal by winning a one-game playoff against Marion on Oct. 29 at George Wythe High School. Carroll handed Marion (19-3) its third loss of the season, all coming to the Cavaliers, Saturday with a three-set sweep in the SWD Tournament Championship.
For Carroll County (19-4), it marked the 16th time in the past 17 years it has won either the regular season or district tournament championship. Carroll and Marion split a pair of contests in the regular season, with the home team winning each time in five sets. The playoff was much the same, going down the wire to another fifth set before the Cavs prevailed 23-25, 25-23, 25-14, 22-25, 15-11.
After dropping the opening set, Carroll rallied to take the next two before watching the Scarlet Hurricane come back to force a fifth set. After falling behind 4-0 in the final set, the Cavaliers ripped off a 10-3 run to go up 10-7. Marion pulled to within 12-11 before missing a serve. Jessica Sheek then provided back-to-back kills to end the playoff and secure another district title for the Cavaliers.
Cheyenne Strickland led Carroll with 24 service points and a pair of aces to go along with 16 assists and 12 digs. Eustacia Smith had a big night with 25 kills, four blocks and 13 digs, while Rachel Farmer added 12 kills and six blocks and Sheek had 12 kills and two blocks. Autumn Hill chipped in five blocks and 11 kills and Samantha Hill had a pair of blocks and four kills.
Morgan Tompkins also had a nice serving night with 23 service points. Grace Lindsey led the team with 20 digs, while Megan Alderman had 13 digs to go along with a team-high 23 assists.
The Cavaliers were without the services of Sheek in the tournament championship game as she injured an ankle two nights earlier in pre-game warm-ups prior to Carroll's four-set win over Richlands.
In the SWD final, the Cavs fended off tough charges from the Scarlet Hurricane in each set before pulling out a 25-21, 25-18, 25-19 victory.
Eustacia Smith led Carroll with two aces, 19 service points, 23 kills and 17 digs. Rachel Farmer was a force at the net as well with seven blocks and five kills, while Morgan Tompkins had four blocks. Autumn Hill also had seven kills and 19 service points. Megan Alderman and Ashton Huff set up the Cavalier offense with 18 and 13 assists, respectively. Lindsey again turned in a team-high in digs with 21.
After Sheek's injury, Carroll got off to a slow start against Richlands in the tournament semifinal. Falling behind 10-6 and 18-11 in the first set, the Cavaliers rallied back to make it 20-15 after back-to-back kills by Autumn Hill. The Blue Tornado would go on to score the next four, however, to go up 24-15. Carroll almost rallied as Hill recorded two aces, Farmer and Samantha Hill teamed for a block and Richlands hit a couple of balls out of bounds to bring Carroll within 24-20 before the Blues prevailed on a missed serve.
Things weren't much easier for the Cavs in the second set as Richlands stayed within two to three points the whole way. A kill by Tompkins put Carroll in front 21-17. Richlands added one more point before the Cavs ended the set on a 4-0 run to win 25-18 and even things up at one set apiece.
The Blue Tornado took leads of 1-0, 2-1 and 3-2 in a third set that featured 10 ties. Carroll took the lead for good at 18-17 on an Autumn Hill kill. She sandwiched two more kills around a Tompkins ace to make it 21-17 Cavs. Carroll would score four of the next five to win it on an errant return by Richlands for a two set to one lead.
The Cavaliers prevailed in another tight one in the fourth set, 25-23, to move on to the SWD finals. Tompkins and Autumn Hill each had three aces to lead Carroll, while Alderman had two aces. Smith had 15 kills and a block, Hill had 13 kills and a block, and Farmer had six blocks and nine kills. Lindsey paced the champions with 15 digs, while Alderman led the team with 20 assists and 10 digs. Cheyenne Strickland added 12 assists.
Carroll now moves on to the Region IV quarterfinals, where it was slated to host Cave Spring on Nov. 5 at 6 p.m.

Boz Scaggs to bring 'Memphis' sound to Centennial TerraceWritten by Vicki L. Kroll | | firstname.lastname@example.com
There may not be an umbrella big enough in Sylvania if Boz Scaggs sings "Rainy Night in Georgia" at Centennial Terrace this week.
His stirring cover of Brook Benton's 1970 hit drips with emotion, pain and longing pouring down.
" 'Rainy Night' came about because I was doing a memorial concert for a philanthropist, a great man, in San Francisco," the singer-songwriter said. "I was asked to do some music at an outdoor concert [for F. Warren Hellman]. I was trying to find something that would address the mood… I did attach to it that feeling of melancholy and loss or yearning that the song conveys."
The song struck Scaggs, who recorded it for his 2013 disc "Memphis."
"It was about three o'clock in the morning when we decided to record it. We were tired and it was really time to go home, but I said, 'Let's try that "Rainy Night." ' There was something about the time of night and the stillness of it that really opened that song up."
Recording at Royal Studios in Memphis, Tenn., was special.
"It's just a lovely, lovely family that runs and owns that studio. And they welcomed us, and they cooked for us; they just gave us so much of their spirit," he said during a call from the road en route to Utah.
Willie Mitchell produced iconic records by Al Green, Chuck Berry, Ike and Tina Turner, Buddy Guy and others at the studio, which is still operated by his family.
"We ended up finishing the record in three days because everything felt right," Scaggs said. "It was just magic."
That ease is heard listening to the 10 covers and two originals on "Memphis."
Touring with Donald Fagen and Michael McDonald as the Dukes of September, who played Toledo in 2012, inspired the guitarist.
"The Dukes of September was a chance for us to go out and play the stuff we love. Michael, Donald and I have mutual admiration for great rhythm and blues," he said. "We went through hundreds of titles and in the course of doing that, it kind of led to this record.
"I went back over the list that I had made, and some of the songs I thought about made the list for the 'Memphis' project."
Scaggs' flair for wrapping his soulful, smooth voice around tracks gained attention with the 1976 album, "Silk Degrees," which featured "Lowdown," "Lido Shuffle" and "We're All Alone."
The stylish gentleman continued to be on the radio with "Breakdown Dead Ahead," "Jojo," "Look What You've Down to Me" and "Miss Sun."
"I am first and foremost, in terms of what I try to do, a vocalist. So I've listened to everybody, and I think I borrowed so many pieces of different vocal styles of men and women in all fields that I love," he said.
"I love guitar; I love all kinds of styles of guitar — Spanish guitar and Chet Atkins guitar, blues and rock 'n' roll, and white music and black music. I love rhythm and blues."
Scaggs will bring his cool R&B to Centennial Terrace at 7:30 p.m. July 23. Dave Mason will open. General admission tickets are $27.50 in advance and $32.50 day of the show.

Happy Birthday to your husband. And, Mother's Day for you.ReplyDelete
Happy birthday to him!ReplyDelete
What an interesting coincidence (our husband's birthdays). Didn't you just have one, too! Wishing you both a happy birthday.ReplyDelete
Happy Birthday to him,
it's wonderful to have a good man in your life.
Happy birthday to your husband. I feel the same way about researching my husband's family. I have the southern Scots Irish/English/Welsh thing plus a bit of Palatine, he's got the German/Italian/Romanian Jewish immigrant thing. Quite a variety! (Plus it gains me brownie points with the in-laws...)ReplyDelete
Happy Birthday! My husband and I share the same type of family differences. I bring the "been in America forever" and he brings the recent immigrants. It gives me the full circle of genealogy research!ReplyDelete

Restaurant Week Toledo offers healthy options for dinersWritten by Sarah Ottney | Editor in Chief | firstname.lastname@example.com
Restaurant Week Toledo (RWT) organizers want everyone to be able to feel good about enjoying a meal out to benefit a great cause.
For the second year, the Leadership Toledo fundraiser has partnered with presenting sponsor Medical Mutual to ensure each participating restaurant offers at least one healthy dish.
A Leadership Toledo survey showed 31 percent of last year's RWT diners chose one of the dishes designated as a healthy option, said Mark Tooman, communications manager for Medical Mutual.
"Diners were pleased that there was a healthy option available to them," Tooman said. "Nearly one out of every three meals chosen was the healthy option. I believe this showed that having a healthy option is important to the customer and that healthy eating has become a mindset for more people."
Each restaurant's healthy option was reviewed by Connie Beutel, Medical Mutual's manager of health promotion and wellness, who offered suggestions on ways to make the dishes even healthier, Tooman said.
A healthy diet helps maintain a healthy body weight and helps prevent or lessen the negative effects of chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and hypertension, particularly when combined with exercise, stress management and other healthy habits, Tooman said.
"As health care and health insurance options change, consumers are being required to take a bigger role in maintaining their health. Healthy eating choices are one way they can be proactive, whether they are at home or dining out at a restaurant," Tooman said. "By incorporating a healthy option into the Restaurant Week menus, people will be able to make smart choices while supporting a great cause in Leadership Toledo."
The fourth annual RWT is set for Feb. 24 through March 2. All participating restaurants are locally owned. Each will feature a special RWT menu priced at $10, $20 or $30. (Drinks, taxes and gratuities are not included unless specified.) A portion of proceeds will benefit two of local nonprofit Leadership Toledo's youth programs: Youth Leadership Toledo and Students in Action.
Participating restaurants are 5th Street Pub, Avenue Bistro, The Beirut, Black Kite, Burger Bar 419 (Heatherdowns Boulevard and Monroe Street locations), The Café at The Oliver House, Caper's Restaurant & Bar, Cousino's Steakhouse, Element 112, Gradkowski's, ICE Restaurant & Bar, Koreana, La Scola Italian Grill, Loma Linda, Mancy's Bluewater Grille, Mancy's Italian Grill, Mancy's Steaks, Packo's at the Park, Plate 21, Poco Piatti, Registry Bistro, Rockwell's at The Oliver House, Rosie's Italian Grille, Shorty's True American Roadhouse, social., The Original Tony Packo's, TREO, Ventura's and Zinful.
A sold-out kickoff party, sponsored by Hylant, is set for Feb. 19, featuring food samples from several RWT menus as well as craft beer and wine tastings, live entertainment and more.
Everything at TREO is made from scratch, said General Manager Nate Schank. The Sylvania eatery's designated RWT healthy option dish is rustico tagliatelle, featuring saffron tagliatelle with sauteed sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, artichoke hearts, eggplant, butternut squash and toasted pine nuts in a light, smooth Parmesan pesto with fresh basil.
"The pasta is handmade in house. We make the dough from scratch and roll it out per order, which allows us to have total control of ingredients from beginning to end," Schank said. "That's something not everyone does and something we really take pride in."
Schank said he's noticed more customers asking for vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free dishes.
"As customers become more health-conscious, we want to cater to that, but also lead that taste by creating options that are tasty but also healthy," Schank said.
Registry Bistro will offer two healthy choice entrees for RWT: grilled market fish with sprout slaw, five-spiced yams and chorizo hash and grilled winter vegetable ramen with poached egg.
"I like to incorporate things that really pack a punch of flavor, but it's a little healthier," said chef and co-owner Erika Rapp.
Rapp said she knows dining out can be stressful for people with dietary restrictions, so she marks all menu items as vegetarian, gluten-free or nut-free to help take the guesswork out of ordering.
"I wanted to identify dishes on the menu so people can order independently and dine with more freedom," Rapp said. "It's a conscious effort that I make. We are also always happy to modify dishes to meet specific needs. We do that all the time."
Mancy's Italian Grill will offer grilled halibut with pea shoot salad, truffled honey-mustard and corn penne pomodori. The honey is locally produced, the pasta is gluten-free and the whole entree has fewer than 550 calories, said Managing Partner George Mancy.
"Halibut is a nice, white flaky fish," Mancy said. "It's really good for you. It's low in calories, low in sodium and it's a good source of protein. It's a nice big meal that's still light. I think people are going to be excited to try it."
The Café at The Oliver House will offer a tangy black bean burger with avocado slices, provolone cheese and salsa fresco grilled on a whole wheat roll and served with a chopped salad.
"As far as a veggie burger is concerned, it's one of the best I've tried personally," said Neal Kovacik, general manager of Oliver House operations. "It's got good flavor and texture and people seem to really like it."
Burger Bar 419, Tony Packo's and Rockwell's might not come to mind as vegetarian-friendly, but all three eateries plan to offer vegetarian options for RWT.
Burger Bar 419 will offer a falafel salad, featuring chickpeas ground with fresh parsley, onions, garlic and spices set atop crisp romaine with cucumber yogurt dressing, tomatoes, olives and red onion. Packo's will serve vegetarian chili mac (vegetable chili loaded with zucchini, squash, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, beans and barley spread over dumplings with cheese and onions).
The Oliver House's steakhouse, Rockwell's, will offer a platter-roasted fresh vegetable medley sprinkled with a lemon and honey vinaigrette and served with a side of fettuccine.
"Our chef came up with it," Kovacik said of the dish, which is not found on the regular menu, but is occasionally made as a special request for vegetarian guests. "He has a special sauce that goes over it. We were going to do fish, but decided to go vegetarian just because we thought it'd be a nice contrast to the steaks. It's very filling."
Plate 21 has no shortage of gluten-free, vegan and vegetarian options, including its popular edamame kale salad, said owner Sandy Spang. Other healthy RWT options include Avenue Bistro's chicken picatta, Black Kite's Asian pear and lentil salad with grilled chicken and Zinful's duck ceviche.
"Our Medical Mutual healthy option is a spin on what is traditionally a fish preparation," said Zinful owner Joyce Franzblau. "We elected to use duck as an alternative to demonstrate that healthy does not have to be typical meatless or fish entrées. All of our menu items offered during Restaurant Week are also gluten-free. We recognize the trend and are trying to stay ahead of it by making healthy food interesting and delicious."

My summary of latest on Protein Metabolism
Solid article on protein metabolism was just released so I summarized its main points and added my commentary below!
Excellent Review on Protein Metabolism
Figures to refer to are below
Key points
In normal individuals following feeding there is an increase in protein synthesis / breakdown thats countered by a decrease in PS in the fasted state, overall there is no change in muscle mass. With resistance exercise which raises PS for up to 24 hours, there is net muscle tissue accretion (figure 1)
Effects of training
The unique element of resistance exercise is that unlike a meal skeletal muscle protein synthesis can be elevated for 24-72 hours. This suggests an "anabolic window" of opportunity in which any given bolus ingestion of amino acids during this time period should be preferentially used, or at least used at a higher rate by muscle. And data support this notion as ingestion of a protein source 24 hours after exercise increases muscle protein synthesis more than without the exercise stimulus.
Effects of training status
Now here are some interesting concepts. Basically training changes the way exercise effects protein turnover (figure 3).
1. Trained vs. untrained on the post exercise general muscle protein synthetic response
In this case an untrained individual can have an increase in protein synthesis for up to 48 hours. In contrast trained individuals have a greater increase in protein synthesis for the first 4 hours following exercise, but this declines to basal levels by 16 hours.
Of course my question is why is this the case, and anyone's thoughts here would be great! My thoughts are that it may not simply be a factor of training status in and of itself that is changing our muscle tissues response in MPS to exercise, but rather the indirect effects of the ability of the muscle to resist damage. In other words for someone untrained any given stimulus is going to be enough to cause tremendous structural damage to the muscle and therefore elicit the need for greater more long term changes in protein balance to repair and remodel the damaged tissue. In contrast for any given stimulus in trained athletes the damage will be less and the need for remodeling and repair less. If true(and I think evidence supports this position) then it simply indicates the need for higher intensities and volume with training. But it also to me indicates the need again for more of a hypoxic stimulus, because again with training mechanical stimuli seem to lose there capacity turn on MPS, at least past 16 post training.
2. In untrained individuals there seems to be a general increase in all muscle proteins in response to both resistance exercise and aerobic exercise. In contrast in trained individuals after resistance exercise there is a preferential increase in muscle contractile proteins, while in endurance there is a preferential increase in mitochondrial based proteins.
I again suggest that what this indicates is that in those who are untrained, it is likely that both endurance and resistance exercise provide enough of a stimulus to both contractile and mitochondrial subfractions of protein to elicit an increase in PS in both of them. While in trained the need for higher order specific stimuli are needed to trigger these responses in each subfraction
Dose response of protein synthesis following exercise
I remember Gabe,Layne, and I watched Phillips present this data at ISSN. Basically they found that consuming 0, 5, 10, 20 or 40 grams of whey protein increase muscle protein synthesis in a dose dependent fashion up to 20 grams, but plataued thereafter, with a large increase in their oxidation thereafter. From this the authors suggested that 8-10 grams of essential amino acids(which is what the whey contained) or 20 grams of whey is sufficient and any more protein than this is a waste and willjust be oxidized or used as energy.
I recall during the presentation Layne, Gabe and I said this is faulty because it looks at one variable, protein synthesis. Layne raised his hand and stated
" The problem with this data is that it assumes that amino acids prior to their oxidation are only used as substrate or to stimulate protein synthesis, in actuality they have many other signaling effects and may be converted to anabolic substances such as HMB which have secondary effects"
I agree with Layne. For example, take Leucine. Its effects on protein breakdown which was not reportd are maximized at at least double the amounts needed to maximize protein synthesis.
This is the problem also with looking at one variable to determine the effectiveness of any given dose of amino acids.
Protein source
As we are aware protein source effects growth. Their data for example showed that milk protein stimulated more growth than soy. Moreover their recent data demonstrates that whey stimulates greater protein synthesis than soy or casein,
This is excellent data, but we need to see a more complete picture by analyzing what occurs with protein breakdown in muscle.
Protein Timing
As we are well aware there is enough data to support the notion for immediate consumption of amino acids both immediately before and after exercise. Nothing new here
Insulin in the regulation of protein metabolism
Insulin has always had a controversial role in how it regulates protein metabolism, but the authors rightly point out the current consensus which is that insulin stimulates protein synthesis via its effects on PI3K signaling and inhibits protein breakdown, specifically via the Ubiquitin pathway(Ill discuss these in a bit).
I would point out also that insulins effects on protein synthesis are dependent on its capacity to increase blood flow by increasing nitric oxide production in the capillaries. This is one of the reasons why those who are insulin resistant may impair muscle growth, as they have poorer amino acid delivery to their muscle tissue following carbohydrate protein ingestion
Insulin after resistance exercise
Data suggest that when carbohydrates are administered alone after exercise, protein balance is improved by decreasing protein breakdown, but protein synthesis is not effected, overall the individual stays in negative protein balance or reaches zero protein balance. Now, what is most likely occurring is that by inhibiting protein breakdown, you actually inhibit available substrate needed to increase protein synthesis following training, which is why amino acids must be combined with insulin or carbohydrates.
Effects of aerobic exercise on muscle protein synthesis
Essentially moderately high endurance exercise (75% v02 max for 40 minutes) stimulates increases in mitochondrial, but not myofibrillar(contractile) protein synthesis
Cell signaling responses to resistance exercise and feeding
The authors point out that the pathways by which exercise and amino acids stimulate protein synthesis are converging . While I wont go into detail here, they point out that exercise activates PI3K-AKT-mTOR signaling to increase protein synthesis. What is not clear however is the time points for each response following training. For example recent data shows that mTOR signaling is back to normal 6 hours after training, while its downstream targets P70s6K are still elevated.
Intriguingly my lab at FSU is getting ready to elucidate a more detailed response of these pathways. To resistance exercise and link them to the exact protein expression as well.
I also want to point out that cell signaling is a real tricky subject as it does not always indicate changes in protein turnover. In Gabe and Laynes lab they are demonstrating this by showing that signaling proteins may be turned on while protein synthesis is not at particular time points
Effects of training status
10 weeks of training has been shown to heighten the sensitivity of anabolic signaling pathways to exercise such that they increase in activation more than in untrained individuals. What is not known is what happenes in highly trained individuals, but I suspect that there is less activation of signaling pathways in people highly trained to any given stimulus since as suggested protein synthesis is also lower.

Cell signaling in response to endurance exercise
Endurance exercise activates a negative regulator of contractile protein synthesis. This is known as AMP activated protein kinase. What is interesting though is that this kinase actually stimulates mitochondrial biogenesis or production. Thus, endurance exercise provides a mechanism via AMPK whereby it can suppress increases in muscle growth, while simotaneously increasing aerobic capacity( mitochondria).
We as bodybuilders simply need to understand the implications of this. Clearly aerobic exercise can mediate fat loss via increased mitochondrial density, but by activating AMPK it attenuates gains in the gym in musculature. I am researching this subject now and will be writing on it in JHR in the up and coming year.
Feeding and cell signaling
Wont go into to much detail here, but it essentially points out the fact that both insulin and amino acids activate protein synthesis through mTOR, but through different mediators, thus in order to maximize protein synthesis you need an optimal combination of carbs and amino acids.
I would also add that this differs from resistance and cardio. With cardio for example protein synthesis is turned off or lowered via AMPK. In this instance extracellular Leucine levels become that much more critical to try and at least counter the effects of cardio, because cardio also depletes extracellular Leucine levels.
Sex differences
In a fasted state – No appreciable differences exist
During cardio – women rely less on protein for substate then men, so it may not be as catabolic for them
Resistance exercise – not a lot of data on acute changes in protein balance to resistance exercise.
Let me add my insights here though. The professor I work with, Dr. Jeong-su Kim has done extensive work on both genetic and gender differences between individuals. Chronic resistance training studies clearly demonstrate that women demonstrate less hypertrophy then men. Why is this the case?
1. Muscle growth is a factor of two elements. The first is an expansion of the muscle cell without the addition of new nuclei. This process is probably similar between men and women
2. After you grow to a certain point you cannot grow any further without activating satellite cells and adding new nuclei to support further protein synthesis. This is what lacks in capacity in females relative to males and explains differences in growth, and is probably mediated by greater anabolic hormone and local growth factor environment in men than women
Overall shortcomings In the literature – changes in protein breakdown following exercise. But Gabe andLayne will tackle this!

So instead of chugging my PWO shake, I should slowly drink it or use one scoop of whey (24g) vs 2 scoops (48g)?

excellent job Jacob...posts like this...another reason why i love ABC
The"Outwork" mindset changed my entire life, perhaps it can help you as well
Muscle Hypertrophy occurs independent of exercise intensity
I forge myself in the fire of my own will
AMP activated protein kinase. My question in lamen terms is what does the AMP(K) stnad for? thanks.

John 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches; He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit; for with out me ye can do nothing.
Goal: NOT there Yet, But haven't quit either!
Now if we are dealing with legs then yes, seperating the sessions would be ideal. For strength purposes there appears to be little interference when cardio is performed the next day, but if you are doing legs at night, while protein synthesis may be back up, it is possible that the residual fatigue such as glycogen depletion from the morning session could impair performance at night. So if cardio is done on the same day, the reccomendation would be to do lower intensity, less glycogen depleting training.
Its tricky stuff, but I like your thinking!

Basically it is the cells fuel guage. Our main source of fuel is ATP. When a phosphate group is broken off energy is released and ADP (two phosphates, hence di) is formed.
Now with decreasing energy, ADP is also broken down to AMP ( 1 phosphate, hence mono). Now clearly increasing AMP levels indicate a lower energetic state of the cell, and so AMPK is activated with increasing AMP levels. AMPK then turns off energy consuming pathways like protein synthesis to conserve energy in the cell!

Please help!
How do I setup the payments weekly/monthly?
I'm already missing my BillMinder!!!
any idea if it allows iPhone to iPhone syncing/sharing?
will recurring events feature be in the pipeline? We do have recurring expenses that we would like to automatically be added every month.
It's wonderful app, however lacks one important feature: tracking income. This would allow me to see how much money I have at my disposal, allowing me to answer the question can I afford this or that. Although I bought the app, this feature alone prevents me from making it my primary money tracking app. If you're fine with this, then don't hesitate!
Money iQ is still much better and has very flexible configuration ability. Plus multiple accounts management. That's the top!!!
i get it yesterday...and i was disappointed after found out i can't save any new entry.... i reboot my iphone (3GS) to try my luck but it disappoint me once more.
Anyone know how to deal with it. or update is already available to rectify it.
A disappointed consumer.
