"Diets don't work!" "Exercise can actually make you gain weight!" "You can take supplements that will melt fat away while you sleep!" Claims like these should make you wonder if someone is trying to fool you. Since it is April Fool's Day, it is worth learning the truth about these common weight loss myths.
Myth: Diets don't work
Considering that most people who lose weight end up gaining it back, this belief in understandable. The fact is that diets do work – that is how people lost weight in the first place! The problem is that many diets simply aren't sustainable and don't teach healthy eating habits necessary to keep the weight off. The result is that after the diet ends, a return to old eating patterns leads to gaining the weight back. The solution, of course, is to find a diet that you can stick with even after you have lost weight, one that teaches you how to make healthy choices and adapt your lifestyle.
Myth: Exercise doesn't lead to weight loss
The traditional advice for losing weight is to eat less and exercise more. But some research suggests that exercise itself doesn't lead to significant weight loss. In fact, exercise alone results in lower weight loss compared to diet only or diet plus exercise. While this is true, concluding that exercise isn't important is a mistake.
First, even if exercise only leads to a small amount of weight loss (about one-half pound per week in my experience) it does add up over time and can help someone achieve their weight loss goal more quickly. Second, research involving individuals who have succeeded at long-term weight loss in The National Weight Control Registry show that exercise is important. It is noteworthy that 94 percent of these "successful losers" increased their physical activity in order to lose weight and 90 percent said that they maintain their weight by exercising an average of 60 minutes every day.
Myth: You can boost your metabolism and burn fat using supplements
Losing weight really does require making changes to your eating and exercise behaviors. Many of these changes can be difficult, so it is no surprise that people look for shortcuts. And there is no shortcut more appealing than a supplement that will increase your metabolism and burn fat while you sleep.
Keep in mind that there are no dietary supplements that have been shown to be effective for promoting long-term weight loss, despite what the manufacturers claim. In fact, some could even be dangerous. The only way to make a meaningful change in your metabolism is to exercise and significant weight loss simply won't happen unless you change your diet. Be especially skeptical when you see words like "flush" and "cleanse," which are meaningless and have nothing to do with weight loss. There are a few prescription medications and one over-the-counter drug (Orlistat) that has been shown to promote weight loss – but only when combined with a healthy low-calorie diet and exercise.
Hopefully this advice will help you make healthy decisions and avoid becoming an "April Fool" when it comes to weight loss claims. The good news is that you can start losing weight today by making some simple changes including reducing your portion sizes at meals, choosing water or other calorie-free beverages when you are thirsty, and making it a point to be active every day. These modifications can lead to weight loss now and are exactly the type of changes you need to make to keep the weight off in the long run.

Gas and Process Compressor Lubricants
Instructor: Glenn Short, Director, BVA, Inc.
Where: STLE University, live webinar event broadcast to your computer
When: Thursday, July 11, 2013 at 12-1:00 p.m., with optional Q&A from 1-1:30 p.m. Central Time
Cost: $39 for members, $59 for non-members
The petroleum, chemical, and gas industry are examples of several diverse industries where gas and process compressors are used. A process converts raw material into products, by-products, intermediate products, or waste streams. Hydrocarbons are found in natural gas, refineries, petrochemical industry, and a wide variety of other industries. Compressors in these industries represent a major capital investment and their proper functioning is critical to successful operation of a plant or pipeline. The correct choice of compressor lubricant can improve efficiency, reduce downtime, and reduce the costs of compressor maintenance. In many cases, the use of specialty or synthetic lubricants is required for compatibility with the gas, system components, or end product or to resist dilution by the gas being compressed.
In this webinar you will learn about the different types of lubricants that are used in gas and process compressors, some of the important properties compressor lubricants should possess and their proper selection. The focus will be primarily on positive displacement compressors and other compressors where the lubricant may come into contact with the gas being compressed, formulating with special types of mineral oils and synthetic lubricants to improve compatibility with the gas being compressed, and strategies for efficiency improvement and compressor reliability.
Glenn Short is the Director of BVAdvanced Division of BVA, Inc. He has been involved with materials science, synthetic fluids and lubricants for over 40 years, with a specialty in synthetic and semi-synthetic compressor lubricants over the past 32 years. Glenn holds a degree in Chemical Engineering and has experience in development, lab and field testing and OEM qualification. He is the author of two compressor application chapters in the new book: Synthetics, Mineral Oils, and Bio-Based Lubricants: Chemistry and Technology, Second Edition.

Merry Christmas iMore,
Thank you for all your hard work!! I would like the new iPad so I could use it to evaluate my students and for my graduate school work.
Happy New Year,
If Santa somehow slipped up and didn't give you the iPhone, iPod, or iPad of your dreams this year, if he got lost using maps, if he was smart enough to realize you really did need those educational gifts, clothes, or vegetables instead, or if you did indeed get what you wanted, but would love the chance to give an iOS device to someone else who could really use one, iMore's giving you a second chance!
(Technically one (1) $350 U.S. Apple Store gift certificate for you to buy (or put towards) whichever Apple device or devices you wish!)
We'll announce winners next week. Ho. Ho. Ho!
Enter NOW!

I'd love to win an iPad mini (black)!

Hey there iMore. I'm a brand new member who registered just for this opportunity. I've followed you via Flipboard for iPhobe 5 for quite some time. I'd like an iPad Mini 32GB w/ LTE BY Verizon. I have a MacBook Air I am selling bc I want the mini so much. It's the perfect size, weight and look that the original iPad should've been. The 9.7 is great but a little too impractical. The 7.9" is absolutely the perfect size. I really hope I win, but if not, we can still be friends! ;)
Any iOS device would be a dream come true for me, because i never HAD one. but if I ever win this i would rather give it to my mom and dad as a gift. My dad has worked abroad for my studies, and the least i could do to make him proud is study the hardest.
Let me win this so i could give my parents an iphone, the most amazing phone so that they could communicate easier and faster :) thankyou!
ill be wishing, praying and hoping for this.
Since I received 2 cases for my iPad mini for Christmas, I'd get another mini, and give the set to family.
I would like an iPad mini! I want to do everything I do on my iPhone but on a bigger screen!
I really need to win this for my wife. She deserves it and wants one more than anything else. Please choose us and thank you for this opportunity. Imore you guys rule.
I need ipad mini because my wife needs one
iPad mini FTW
I would live an iPad for schooling. The few 1990s windows desktops we have at the school are, well, 1990s windows desktops.
I'd like an iPhone 5 because my current iPhone is getting too old.
My new job bought me an iphone 4s because all of their managers are issued one. Unfortunately, that left my wife with her old flip phone from 2004. We tried to get her a new iphone but the carrier demanded a $500 deposit that we cant afford. I would love to be able to get my wife a new iphone in white. It would make her Christmas.
I wish me happy chrismas
I wish you happy chrismas
I wish i wish i wish and ipad mini to :)
I'd like to have a brand new iPad!! My iPad has been out of date and sometime makes me mad. Thanks iMore! :)
Looking to finally win a sweet new iPad mini, I have twins with autism and have a device like this would help. There are apps that help and small enough to travel with. Best of luck to you all and happy holidays.
iPad Mini would be awesome :) thanks for doing this iMore.
I would like the new iPad to be able to use the newer applications. I have an older iPod touch that will not let me download any application that requires ios 4.3 or newer.
iPhone 5!!!
Time for a new phone! Mine is two years old!
I would like the ipad mini, because im a broke college student who would love the chance to carry around all my: books, notes, and lectures in a light device. Please mobile nations.
I would use the gift card for an ipad mini because I'm a Trekkie and it's the closest thing to a functional "padd" that they used to carry around. Just right in size and light as a feather! Make it so...
I want a new IPad mini because I gave mine to my granddaughter for Christmas. Her mother has fallen on some hard times so she didn't get much else from Santa.
Got a first gen ipad from my boss... Used and abused. Would really love an ipad mini with cameras. Fml
iPhone 5 Thanks for the chance and great work iMore!!
Pick me! I'm the one!
A new iPad mini please! I just would love to win once in my life one of these. I would be a complete person.
I would like an iPad mini. I don't have a computer and will be starting school within a month. Thank you and merry Christmas
I'd like the iPhone 5, I think it would be awesome with all of its new features.

I would like to get a MacBook Pro so that I can do the different design and web projects for the business I am starting. My Dell laptop that I've had for 4 years just isn't cutting it ha. Merry Christmas and happy holidays!
I would like an iPhone 5 because it's the best and I'd hoped to get one this year. HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!
Mini! Because its so cute!
MacBook Pro retina... My wife took my computer, so it would be nice to have some extra money to put towards a computer!!
I would like an iPad mini for my mom because she isn't as mobile as she used to be and can't get to church but maybe once or twice a year. She could could use the iPad for reading her bible (since she's up in age and the print in her bible is getting hard to read). And my she could view my brothers sermons on there. It would also come in handy to keep her entertained and informed more so than her tv. And it's lightweight and it'll be easy for her to handle. If you guys could bless her with that I'd be so grateful. Thanks for listening.
Would love an iPad with Retina. My grandmother had been mentioning how much she wanted an iPad for awhile now and my mom planned on getting her one, so I decided to forego major Christmas gifts this year so my mom could afford to purchase my grandmother an iPad with Retina. We gave it to her today and she loves it! College student here, so would love it for textbooks and easier notetaking in class as well as all the cool things it does! :-)
I would ask for an ipad mini for my wife. She likes the mini because it's a great form factor.
Here's to a lucky new year! I need an iPad since my hardware is out of date ..
I want an iPad mini because I'm a student and need it most for doing lessons or reading books and much more...please make my dream come true
I would love to get an iPhone 5 for my dad because he is the only one in our familymwithnout one and it would be nice to all be one iOS!
I wanted a ipad 4. There was too many expensive and either me or my family could afford one.
In all honesty, I would like to win the prize. Not entirely for selfish reasons. While I'd enjoy a new idevice as much as the next guy, if I win I intend to use half of the money to donate towards our jailbreak magicians, those guys that allow us to customize our iphones, ipads, ietc to suit our every digital need. May it help to get a new A5+ jailbreak to the masses, or merely as a beacon of hope that there are still people in the community that truly value your work.
Any iPad!!! 4 or Mini!!! I just got engaged and I would love to give one to my fiancé!!!
I would love an ipad mini for school given the smaller form. thanks for the chance to win!!
I'd like an Iphone 5. Color doesn't matter compared to the experience of an Apple product. There's only so much you can learn and understand from reviews compared to hands-on use for a week.
I love helping people, mostly when it comes to choosing a device that's best for them. I've used Android and Windows Phone so those I could always give my pros and cons on. It's always the Iphone where I can't say anything since I really don't know what it's really like.
I would love an ipad or ipad mini! It would make it so much easier to get some reading done as well as get myself up to date on technology!
Would love to win an Ipad mini to give to my wife for her birthday!

Ever since getting the iPhone 5, my iPad 2 seems soooo slow. Time for an upgrade!

I wish I win the iOS device of the Year - iPhone 5!!
I would like the black and slate colored iPhone 5!!! I've wanted it for so long.

Shock horror, I've never owned an IOS device, so getting my first one, an iPad, seems a great choice to accompany me on my journey.
First hurdle, overcoming my phobia of flying, a 10 hour flight can't be any more scary than a shorter one, can it? Both involve the lunacy of being shot into the atmosphere in a thin metallic (and now plastic) tube!
iPad mini. To replace the iPad 4 I can never play with because my kids hog it.
We had a light Christmas this year. An iPad would change that. Thank you for the contest!

Thank you

At Station 22, below clouds, vendors in tents sold burgers and beer, towels and T-shirts as scores made their way along the narrow boardwalk to the beach, where they observed blue lights circling atop white vehicles, and flags with palmetto trees or lone stars anchored in the sand
Meanwhile, flesh-colored polar bears wearing costumesBig Bird, Batman, Hulk, King Kongor bikinis anxiously awaited the call
Someone mentioned seeing a coyote from the nearby maritime forest Just another contestant, sloshed one well-oiled observer
Suddenly, a horn was heard and bears rushed toward the ocean
Strange sounds sprang forth as bare bones met frosty foam
The bears came running back, some with smiles, others with scoffs, most with chattering choppers
It was a day of celebration, save for a woman in tears wearing a wet wedding dress she never got to use
At closure, the sun took a peek and rain made its own splash

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.-The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga Mocs volleyball team (12-17, 6-8 SoCon) won its second consecutive five-set match (25-17, 25-21, 19-25, 23-25, 16-14) Saturday night over the Elon Phoenix (14-15, 7-7 SoCon) at Maclellan Gym.
The senior night win was headed by senior Heather Parman(Ooltewah, Tenn.) who was unstoppable on offense with 22 kills and a .321 hitting percentage to lead Chattanooga in each category. Freshman Briana Reid (Houston, Texas) and junior Bridget Camacho (Cumming, Ga.) each recorded her second double-double in as many nights, Reid coming away with 14 kills and 28 digs while Camacho tallied 53 assists and 13 digs.
Senior Paula Passmore paced UTC on defense with 35 digs, her sixth 30-plus dig performance of the year, while four other Mocs recorded double-digit digs. Senior Christina Teter (Signal Mountain, Tenn.) made it hard on Elon hitters by blocking seven attacks. Teter totaled two solo blocks and five assisted.
Unlike Friday's match, Chattanooga was the team to jump out to a quick 2-0 set lead. The largest victory for either team came in the first game as UTC rolled to a 25-17 win. Giving up the lead only twice, UTC hit a match-best .256 against the Phoenix.
Elon pulled closer in the second frame but fell short by four points, losing 25-21. Despite Chattanooga hitting just .256, the Phoenix was held to a miniscule .024 hitting percentage in the second. Fans saw the score tied six times in the set, but Chattanooga pulled out the win to extend the lead going into the intermission.
Much like Friday, the team being shut out at the intermission made a two-set comeback to push the match to a fifth set, but this time it was Elon applying pressure to the Mocs. The Phoenix took the third set 25-19 as the Mocs were held to a .000 hitting percentage in the frame.
With a much closer fourth stanza, seeing 15 tied scores and five lead changes, Elon still found a way to prevail over Chattanooga. UTC fell two points shy of Elon in the fourth, falling 25-23, as Maclellan Gym was about to host its second five-set match of the weekend.
The Mocs fell in a 1-0 hole early and played catch-up for most of the entire deciding set. It wasn't until the score was tied 12-12 before UTC climbed over the hump. Chattanooga took a 13-12 lead, but Elon answered back and tied the score again. Two points later and the score was tied 14-14. The Mocs finished off the Phoenix with back-to-back kills from Reid and Parman to claim the 3-2 win.
"I am just really proud of our kids," Head Coach Travis Filar said. "Last night was a defining moment for how far Chattanooga volleyball has come, and I knew we had to come out and win again today so it would really concrete that moment. For us to go down by four in the fifth set and come back to win is big. I am very proud of this team and these seniors. This program is headed in the right direction because of Teter, Passmore, Parman and Meagan Ernd (Munster, Ind.)."
The Mocs wrap up the regular season next weekend in search of their first Southern Conference Tournament trip since 2008. UTC travels to Cullowhee, N.C., Friday to take on the Western Carolina Catamounts at 6 .m. and will finish up the road trip in Boone, N.C., with a 7 p.m. matchup with Appalachian State set for Saturday night.

The Sebastians (www.sebastians.org) are a dynamic and vital musical ensemble specializing in music of the baroque and classical eras. Lauded as "everywhere sharp-edged and engaging" (The New York Times), the Sebastians have also been praised for their "well-thought-out articulation and phrasing" (Early Music Review) and "elegant string playing… immaculate in tuning and balance" (Early Music Today).
Winners of the Audience Prize at the 2012 Early Music America Baroque Performance Competitions, the Sebastians were also finalists in the 2011 York International Early Music Competition and the 2011 Early Music America/Naxos Recording Competition. They have participated in the Carnegie Hall Professional Training Workshop with L'Arpeggiata, and have performed at Music Matters (LaGrua Center in Stonington, CT), Friends of Music at Pequot Library (Southport, CT), Juilliard in Aiken (Aiken, SC), in the Twelfth Night Festival and Concerts@One at Trinity Wall Street (New York, NY), and on the Early Music in Columbus series (Ohio).
The Sebastians performed over 35 concerts in the 2013–14 season, including performances of Purcell's Dido and Aeneas at the Connecticut Early Music Festival and Monteverdi's Poppea with dell'Arte Opera Ensemble, and residencies at Connecticut College and the Avaloch Farm Music Institute. They also recorded their début CD, Night Scenes from the Ospedale, which pairs Vivaldi concerti from L'Estro Armonico with newly composed interludes by Robert Honstein.
In 2014–2015, the Sebastians continue for the third season as ensemble-in-residence at All Angels' Church in New York City. In addition, their season includes collaborations with TENET, a production of Purcell's Fairy Queen, four week-long engagements with acclaimed vocal ensemble Seraphic Fire in Miami, a performance on the Houston Early Music Series, and numerous performances in New York and Connecticut.
…everywhere sharp-edged and engaging… The New York Times
The musical quality was further enhanced by the presence of the [Sebastians], a leading young early-music ensemble, which performed beautifully throughout. The New York Times
…of the demand for this group, there can be little doubt…. energetic… youthful, vigorous performance style… The New York Times
…fast-rising group of period-instrumentalists that opened its own season with a lively concert on Saturday… The New York Times
…the instrumental ensemble… including fine musicians from the Sebastians, played with stylistic authority and rhythmic verve… The New York Times
…a worthy addition to any concert series accustomed to hearing leading mainstream string quartets. Early Music America
…well-thought-out articulation and phrasing… Early Music Review
…elegant string playing… immaculate in tuning and balance… Early Music Today
The Sebastians took us on a delightful journey, one in which lucid, subtle playing left space for the emotion and wit… the audience had been thoroughly seduced by the ensemble's deft balance of firebrand playing and classical elegance. Seen and Heard International
Supporting these aims, Dell'Arte scored a canny coup for its first opera from the baroque repertoire by inviting the up-and-coming period-instrument ensemble The Sebastians to form the core of the Poppea band. …the Sebastians surely provided a salutary grounding for a crew of singers with little or no experience in this kind of music. Parterre Box
The singers were helped by taut ensemble playing from conductor Jeffrey Grossman and The Sebastians, a period chamber ensemble. Superconductor Blog

MAN — The grandmother of Aydin Toler is speaking out on the abuse that the 2-year-old endured during his short life and the man accused of Aydin's murder was arraigned today in Magistrate's Court.
Nicolas Turkale, 25, of Amherstdale, was charged with Murder and Murder of Child by Custodian before Magistrate Leondard Codispotti.
According to the criminal complaint, Turkale "did physically shove the victim, a two year old juvenile, into a door frame causing a skull fracture that ultimately resulted in the child's death." The complaint says that Turkale has provided care for the victim for approximately two years.
Since Turkale has been accused of a felony offense for which the penalty is life in prison, on the Circuit Court can grant and set bail. He is being held in the Southwestern Regional Jail until his appearance in Circuit Court.
In an interview with The Logan Banner, Aydin's grandmother, Wanda Walls, says that the child been the victim of child abuse many times, and that several reports to the Child Protective Services were not investigated.
"Last year he came for a visit and he had black and blue hand prints on his face," said Walls. "I took him to the hospital and they said that the only way that could be done was if someone just picked him up and swung him."
Walls said that Aydin's mother, Robin Toler, gave conflicting reports on how the injury occurred.
"She gave five or six different excuses and none of them fit," said Walls. "They didn't even call the state police, the hospital called Child Protective Services (CPS)."
CPS gave Walls temporary custody of Ayden until a hearing on the charges against Toler.
"The judge gave her a three-month improvement period with supervised visits," said Walls. "At the end of the three month improvement period, she got full custody of him."
Walls said that before that incident, Toler shared joint custody of Aydin with his father, Jeremy Walls.
Walls said that she was told conflicting reports on how Aydin was injured Tuesday.
"We were told at first that he fell off the kitchen counter. Then we were told that he was in the bathroom peeing and fell off the sink," said Walls. "Then she said he was brushing his teeth and fell. But at his (Turkale) arraignment today, he admitted to slamming him into the door facing."
Walls said she has several pictures of Aydin with bruises that were taken during visits to his father and that the CPS was notified each time.
"We have reported and reported and reported," said Walls. "They (CPS) just ignored it. I told them last year on the courthouse steps after they gave her full custody of him that they just signed his death warrant. She may have not physically killed him, but she is just as guilty because she let it happen.
"That was the sweetest little baby. I don't care what kind of mood somebody would be in — upset or mad — that little smile and the love in his eyes… I don't see how anybody could do something like that to a child. No baby deserves that."
Aydin would have celebrated his third birthday in November.

Benchmark Electromagnetic Simulation of a Coil Using Infinite Elements
Application ID: 1412
Many environments where electromagnetic phenomena are modeled are unbounded or open, meaning that the fields should extend towards infinity. The easiest approach to model such is to use infinite elements.
COMSOL Multiphysics' implementation of these maps the model coordinates from the local, finite-sized domain to a stretched domain. The inner boundary of this stretched domain coincides with the local domain, while coordinates at the exterior boundary are scaled toward infinity.
This example shows how to model a coil in free space with infinite elements. It compares the result with the analytical solution of the problem, and also compares the results with and without infinite elements.

I saw somewhere that a regular mag with a 6.8 follower will work but cant comfirm it.
I saw somewhere that a regular mag with a 6.8 follower will work but cant comfirm it.
Im reading other threads were wolf 223 ammo burn so dirty that the ar jams in 50 rounds. is the 5.45 any better or worse? I have a couple striped recivers that I plan on building down the road but to be quite honest all the if,s ands, all ya got ta do,s to keep it shooting is a bit of a buzz kill.
My LEO buddy and I disproved that Wolf = jams myth on his own Colt 6920. We shot perhaps 500 rounds through it over a summer, WITHOUT CLEANING IN-BETWEEN RANGE VISITS, and zero problems.
I can't speak for the chamber dimensions of other rifles but I suspect some AR builds have tighter chambers. That, and you can't really confim the veracity of others' claims. Were they trying to bump fire? Did they use KNOWN GOOD magazines, or gun show bargain bin specials? Do they REALLY clean their weapons? Spraying CLP down the bore does not a clean weapon make! So I tend to prefer you show me before I'll believe something like that. Ever since we spent that summer doing that, I've never wondered just how how good or bad 223 Wolf ammo really is...
Is wolf dirty? Well yes, but no more so than other surplus I've shot, including that stuff that was in the battle packs - I think it was Portugese? It seems that the military style surplus that you could find from all over was always dirtier than US-manufactured ammo.
Also keep in mind that .223 is more of a cylinder than 5.45. The 5.45 cartridge shape lends itself to easier extraction since it is more of a wedge-shaped cartridge vs. 223. That said, a properly tuned and maintained rifle should have zero issues.
Food for thought.

The "original" Boltcutter Rivet Squeezers:
Project Pink - the Pink and Blue AK-74:
you shouldn't have a problem running it--and you should be a clean-freak with the m-4/m16/car's anyway.
i can't see the steel cases hurting a proper rifle chamber either. even the non chromed 4040 steel barrels should hold up to many more rounds than the average sportsman will ever fire. a hard chrome 4150cva barrel chamber should run the steel just like the brass
i think the most dirty ammo i ever fired was some olympic ball 30-06 and 5.56--so dirty it makes wolf look spotless--could have just been a bad batch of powder--i suppose
I ran close to 500 rounds of wolf 223 through my varmit AK build this summer along with 600 rounds of brass reloads. wolf is way dirtyer than my reloads. and I did get a couple extraction issues with cases sticking. this gun runs a savage varmit bolt action barrel and tight chamber so I cant really blame the ammo.
my main question is the 5.45 dirtyer than the wolf? I also see that the more taperd body may be more reliable than the 223/5.56 stuff. I can live with 500 rounds before cleaning but not 100. I am runing patches through the varmit ak build about every 75 rounds for acuracy reasonds mainly. i havent cleaned the gas port or block in over 1500 rounds and that is with a very small port. I may look into a piston style upper for the AR at any rate.
I've read the bore size for 5.45 x 39 is different than for the 5.56 x 45 round & some AR's chambered for the Soviet round may have barrels for .223 re-chambered for the 5.45 x 39.
Any truth in that?
i think a proper 5.45 bore is closer to a 221 than a 223.
if you were going to make a scratch barrel it would be better to go with a 221 blank i would guess.
my 5.56 bolts are far too narrow for the 5.45 case to fit. i think the 6.8spc bolt is the same- but i don't have a 6.8 bolt to check it with. the 7.72x39 bolt is obviously cut out way too far.
model one has barrels and bolts on their site last time i looked. i think the cheapest 5.46x39 barrel they had was $220 and the bolt was $70 or so IIRC.
i think in the future we will be seeing some 5.45 barrels--likely would have seem them sooner but the obamma panic got in the way.

The Wolves sit four points out of a Western Conference playoff spot with 35 points through 32 games this year (15-12-3-2); Chicago's 32 games are tied for the second-fewest games played in the AHL and are the fewest in the Western Conference.
--- Brett Sterling: Paced the team with 4 assists and 5 points in three games last week, which included matching a team season-high 3 points (G, 2A) and posting his 400th career AHL point on Sunday ... Paces the club with 10 markers and 23 points in 28 games this season ... Shares second on the squad with 13 assists ... Leads Chicago with a +7 plus/minus rating ... Tallied 6 points (G, 5A) during a current four-game point streak

--- Derek Joslin: Tallied his second two-goal outing of his professional career on Sunday, and his first since April 11, 2009 ...

Kenneth Lamar Harris was in Jones County Superior Court May 23 to plead guilty to the crimes that involved a girl under the age of 16 and took place at a local auction.
Harris' sentences will run concurrently for a total of 20 years, and he was allowed to serve the sentence on probation.
Assistant District Attorney Keagan Waystack prosecuted the case and told the court that Harris met the victim on the internet, but it was the juvenile who contacted him.
"He met her at the auction and made contact in a trailer on two occasions," Waystack stated.
Harris was indicted by a Jones County grand jury Dec. 3, 2012.
The crime that led to the defendant's arrest occurred March 20, 2011, and the prosecutor stated that the contact was completely consensual. Waystack told the court the reason the state did not ask any prison time to be served was that the victim initiated the contact and did not object. The defendant had no previous criminal history.

This has been quite a week for CEO mistakes.
First came the hubbub about Scott Thompson, CEO of Yahoo, inflating his resume to include a computer science degree he did not actually receive. According to Mr. Thompson someone at a recruiting firm added that degree claim in 2005, he didn't know it and he's never read his bio since. A simple oversight, if you can believe he hasn't once read his bio in 7 years, and he didn't think it was ever important to correct someone who introduced him or mentioned it.
OOPS – the easy answer for someone making several million dollars per year, and trying to guide a very troubled company from the brink of failure. Hopefully he is more persistent about checking company facts.

But luckily for Mr. Thompson his errors were trumped on Thursday when Jamie Dimon, CEO of J.P.MorganChase notified the world that the bank's hedging operation messed up and lost $2B!!
OOPS! According to Mr. Dimon this is really no big deal. Which reminded me of the apocryphal Senator Everett Dirksen statement "a billion here, a billion there and pretty soon it all adds up to real money!" If he goes to Las Vegas I think Mr. Dimon might be what they call a "Whale."
Interesting "little" mistake from a guy who paid himself some $50M a few years ago, and benefited greatly from the government TARP program. He said this would be "fodder for pundits." Does he expect everyone to simply overlook losing $2B? He also said this was "unfortunate timing." Is there a good time to lose $2B?
But neither of these problems will likely result in the CEOs losing their jobs. As obviously damaging as both mistakes are, which would naturally have caused mere employees to instantly lose their jobs – and potentially be prosecuted – CEOs are a rare breed allowed wide latitude in their behavior. These will be considered "one off" events that gain a lot of attention, but the media will have forgotten within a few days, and everyone else within a few months.
5 CEOs that truly deserve being fired
By comparison, there are at least 5 CEOs that make these 2 mistakes appear small. These 5, frequently honored for their position, control of resources and personal wealth, are doing horrific damage to their companies, hurting investors, employees, suppliers and the communities that rely on their organizations. They should have been fired long before this week.
#5 – John Chambers, Cisco Systems. Mr. Chambers is the longest serving CEO on this list, having led Cisco since 1995 and championed much of its rapid growth as corporations around the world began installing networks. Cisco's stock reached $70/share in 2001. But since then a combination of recessions that cut corporate IT budgets and a market shift to cloud computing has left Cisco scrambling for a strategy, and growth.
Mr. Chambers appears to have been great at operating Cisco as long as he was in a growth market. But since customers turned to cloud computing and greater use of mobile telephony networks Cisco has been unable to innovate, launch and grow new markets for cloud storage, services or applications. Mr. Chambers has reorganized the company 3 times – but it has been much like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. Lots of confusion, but no improvement in results.
Between 2001 and 2007 the stock lost half its value, falling to $35. Continuing its slide, since 2007 the stock has halved again, now trading around $17. And there is no sign of new life for Cisco – as each earnings call reinforces a company lacking a strategy in a shifting market. If ever there was a need for replacing a stayed-in-the-job too long CEO it would be Cisco.

May 1, 2011
IRVINE, Calif. - On the same track where the Big West Championships will take place in two weeks, the Matador men's and women's track and field teams received some solid performances at the Asics/Steve Scott Invitational at Anteater Stadium Saturday and Sunday.
Junior Jackie Harrison spearheaded the women's effort as she ran a blistering 54.25 to win the 400 meters. Harrison, who came in with a season and career-best 54.48, improved on her third-best time in the conference this season. Her time ranks sixth in Northridge 400 meter history.
Sierra Brooks also ran well in the 200 meters as she posted a lifetime-best 24.50 to finish 12th. Brooks improved her season-best by .16. Jasmine Cox, who has a career-best of 25.05, ran 25.37.
The Matadors were not able to improve their times in the 100 meters as Brooks ran 12.28 and Briana Davis ran 12.54.
CSUN had a successful day in the 5,000 meters as Araceli Zainos finished 19th in 18:29.66, the best time for a Matador runner outside of Lilyana Morejon's conference qualifying 17:13.14. Yvonne Castillo-Urbina finished 24th in 18:37.95 and Mallory Day was just behind but ran a lifetime-best 18:57.45 to place 25th.
The Matadors got a PR from Ese Ntekume in the triple jump as the junior surpassed her previous career-best with a leap of 39-11.50 (12.18) to finish seventh. Ntekume's best on Sunday was .04 meters better than her previous best of 39-10 (12.14).
Despite a season-best from Jamila McIntosh in the hammer (159-9) and a third-place finish from Haylee Varner in the javelin (128-2), the Matadors did not advance any additional throwers into the conference championships.
The Northridge men also had a successful day on the track as Carl Horsley and David Reid finished third and fourth in the 200 meters. Horsley also blistered the Anteater Stadium track as he shattered his previous season-best by more than .30 as he finished third in 21.11. Reid was just behind clocking a time of 21.20. Horsley's time in the 200 is the second-best time ever run by a CSUN freshman.
The 4x100 relay team of Horsley, Reid, Darquis Rucker and Michael Woodham ran a season-best 40.67, just .01 off the best in the Big West this season.
Looking to qualify additional sprinters in the 400 meters, the Matadors came up short as Trevor Carroll finished 15th in 49.62 and Oshunluyi Olatonbosun was 19th in 51.05. Jerrid Lewis and Hunter Hays were both impressive in the 800 meters as Lewis was seventh after running a season-best 1:54.57 while Hays was 13th also running a lifetime-best 1:56.79.
In the distance races, Juan Olea easily posted a season-best of 15:24.37 to finish 11th in the 5,000 meters.
As was the case with the women's throwers, Alex Murphy posted a season-best of 175-0 (53.33) in the javelin and Jose Aviles had a season-best of 46-1.25 (14.05) in the shot put but the men were not able to advance any additional athletes in the throws.
Cal State Northridge opens defense of its 2010 men's and women's conference championships next week as the decathlon and heptathlon competition gets underway at Anteater Stadium. The remainder of the squad will have one final chance at the Occidental Invitational to post a Big West qualifying time/mark.

I've been checking my BP at home once in awhile and logging it in an app. It's usually weekly, though lately as I've gotten further along (now 30 weeks) I'm checking it more often. Last night, I was disappointed to see 133/89. Ten minutes later, it was 125/89, but the diastolic is still higher than I'd prefer.
Today it is doing better, 118/82.
Last month, I was more in the 1-teen/75ish range.
I go to the OB tomorrow for a regular appointment and will share my readings with her and get her take. Of course even my worst BP so far is technically still ok, even though it was squeaking up there.
Is it true that BP just is a little lower in the 2nd trimester, and then goes up a bit in the third anyway?
I know I could certainly develop pre-e with this pregnancy and would be surprised if I didn't, but Lord help me make it to full-term first!
