Box Score
SAN MARCOS - Sophomore Jude Vidrine became just the third Cardinal ever to smash three home runs in a game, but it was not enough as Lamar University opened its three-game Southland Conference baseball series at Texas State with a 10-6 loss Friday night.
David Moore was the last Cardinal to hit three home runs in a game, accomplishing the mark against Texas State on May 22, 2008. Vidrine, who finished the game 4-for-5 at the plate, added a leadoff double in the first inning to his record setting night.
Unfortunately for the Cardinals, all three of Vidrine's home runs were solo shots as a season-high 18 hits were squandered in the loss. The Cardinals left 12 runners on base, including three in the seventh and two in the eighth.
Lamar (18-24 overall, 10-15 in the Southland) will look to even the series Saturday afternoon at 2 p.m. behind the pitching of scheduled starter Carter Hahn. The Bobcats will counter with left hander Colton Turner.
After giving up a run in the first, Lamar scored twice in the top of the third to grab an early 2-1 lead. Vidrine got the Cardinals on the board with the first of his three bombs coming with two outs. Jeff Abt then singled, stole second and came home on a Darian Johnson single through the right side.
The Bobcats (27-17 overall, 14-11 in the Southland) responded with three runs in the home half of the inning to take the lead right back. First baseman Casey Kalenkosky hit a two-run home run off LU starter Jonathan Dziedzic with two outs, and catcher Andrew Stumph followed with a solo home run of his own.
Lamar tied the game at 4-4 with a pair of runs in the top of the fifth, but the Bobcats blew it open with six runs in the bottom of the inning. Vidrine hit his second homer to lead off the fifth. Johnson, one of three Cardinals to finish with four hits in the contest, added his fourth home run of the season following a groundout by Abt to tie the game.
However, the next two batters singled and Garrett Mattlage reached on an Aaron Olivas error to keep the inning going. Left fielder Brooks Orton drove in two more runs with a triple to right center. A bunt single by Morgan Mickan plated Orton to cap the scoring.
Dziedzic lasted just 4.2 innings in taking the loss. The junior left hander allowed 10 runs, six earned, on 11 hits. John Gilligan and Chase Angelle pitched the final 3.1 innings without allowing a hit.
Center fielder Garret Autrey, who also had four base hits, led off the sixth with a triple and scored Lamar's sixth run on a single to left by Olivas. Reliever Ross Goebel would come in and get the Bobcats out of the inning.
Bobcat ace Travis Ballew did not have his best stuff, but was still able to last long enough to pick up the win and improve to 9-3. Ballew worked five plus innings, allowing 11 hits and five earned runs.
Vidrine would tie the school record with his third home run in the eighth inning off Goebel and the Cards threatened for more as Johnson and Brad Picha each singled with one out. Louis Head would get Seth Dornak to fly out to end the threat, and then worked a scoreless ninth for his second save of the season.
Stumph finished with three hits for Texas State, while McVaney added two.

With the launch of an exciting new and interactive website, applications will open for exhibitors on Tuesday 8th of April, the 2014 Gold Coast International Marine Expo promises to be bigger and better than ever.
Being the only 'Working Boat Show' in Australia and with 25% of past exhibitors already confirming for the 2014 Expo, a one-month right of refusal is available to all 2013 exhibitors who want to reserve their previous position and location.
"As Expo continues to grow, there will be a greater need for more volunteers and greater community support, the Expo Committee are hoping to raise even more funds for our local community", said Expo President Pat Gay.
In 2014 the Expo will still offer free on-site parking but introduce a nominal entry fee of $8.00 per adult, $5.00 for seniors, and children under 15 free when accompanied by an adult.
Exhibition prices for all exhibitors will however remain at 2013 prices with 2014 exhibitors enjoying an updated site layout, including a new main food court and a new indoor style marquee option.
The three-day event promises to be a lot of fun, as well as offering the opportunity to network with like-minded business owners and marine enthusiasts.

Shared Fellowship
McLaughlin-MMSF Research and Education Fellowship
For many years the McLaughlin Foundation has funded senior medical residents or completing residents with research fellowships to facilitate the advancement of research skills. It has become a very prestigious recognition to have been appointed a McLaughlin Fellow. In 2000, the McLaughlin Foundation decided to discontinue its continuing program, and, in shutting down, granted Canada's medical schools a lump sum payment intended to continue a program of clinical research development for senior/graduating residents.
The University of Manitoba was granted $500,000 for a once only payment. This would provide, as an endowment, an award of $25,000 annually in support of a senior resident's salary. The Manitoba Medical Service Foundation agreed, at their Board meeting in May 2002, to match the $25,000 (this award is to be approved annually by the MMSF board) to allow an award of $50,000 per year to a deserving resident showing promise of an academic career with research activity.
To date the MMSF has provided contributions totaling $260,000 in support of this award with matching funds provided by the University of Manitoba.
(MMSF Share is $25,000/year - July 1st - June 30th )

Intercad keeps community ahead at SolidWorks World 2011
Every year the SolidWorks World conference attracts the leading minds and members of the SolidWorks community to discuss, debate and preview new developments of the world's leading CAD/CAM software platform.
Intercad's Mark Duggan, Support Team Leader and ANZ's first SolidWorks Elite Application Engineer, attended this year's event and reports back on what Intercad customers can expect in the year ahead.
SolidWorks is evolving every year, taking advantage of new technology, and improvements in global broadband infrastructure. It's critically important for us to be involved in the event, and on a personal level, it gives me the opportunity to connect with some of the global support leaders and product developers who directly assist us with technical and support services.
Putting a 'face to a name' also gives our own engineers and consultants a unique insight into how the SolidWorks organisation works, and helps us leverage the relationships we've built up over many years as Australia's leading SolidWorks partner, to the benefit of our customers.
Into the clouds
Much of the talk over the past few months has been about sharing and collaboration, and more specifically, the ability to use SolidWorks as a platform for working on designs with multiple users around the world. This shift towards collaboration, often spoken about in the same context as cloud computing, is both exciting and intimidating for users not accustomed to sharing their designs or uploading them to the 'cloud'.
SolidWorks World showed the platform to be extremely flexible, so while it will continue to be made available for people who want to use it only on their local PCs, it has also been extended to embrace collaborative computing technology, such as the cloud. In this regard, SolidWorks World 2011 was host to some of the most exciting collaborative product enhancements we've seen, in the shape of three new product modules expected to launch later this year: SolidWorks n!Fuze, SolidWorks Post 3D and SolidWorks Live Buildings.
I can't say too much about these products as yet as we only had the scripted demo, but I can tell you that the virtual 3D collaboration spaces and avatar-ready building environments demonstrated for us at the show were incredibly impressive. In a few short years we'll be able to 'live' our designs before the first kiln is fired or brick is turned.
SolidWorks 2012
One of the highlights of any SolidWorks world event is the sneak peek we get at the next version of the software. This year all eyes were on new features in SolidWorks 2012 such as: the new costing feature, where the cost of manufacture is included for different parts, and are recalculated on the fly with design changes; and the motion sensor support in Simulation (along with support for motion simulation in design Studies).
There are dozens of other new features, making SolidWorks 2012 a must-have upgrade for many of our customers. Look out for updates from Intercad on release dates and training courses for SolidWorks 2012.
One more thing
In the spirit of all major events, I've left the best for last. This year's SolidWorks World event saw Intercad strengthen its credentials as Australia's leading SolidWorks partner by claiming three awards at the annual gala dinner: Best Subscription Renewals for Asia Pacific, Top Reseller for Enterprise PDM in Asia Pacific, and (drum roll...) we've joined the 100 per cent club, being one of a few select VARs in Asia Pacific to achieve 100 per cent of our seat targets.
A big thank you goes to all of our loyal customers who every day make us their port of call for all things SolidWorks. See you at next year's event.

At first, Kentucky State Police said they were working on a "death investigation" after the passing of former Evarts mayor Ronnie King. Now, they're calling it a "murder investigation."
Earlier this week, first responders were called to King's home on Kelly Street in the Harlan County town after reports that his home was on fire. They found his body inside the burned structure.
Now, police say a gunshot wound killed the 59-year-old.
"Small communities like this, you feel more safe, more secure. Everyone knows everyone. All this stuff happens somewhere else," said longtime friend Preston McLain.
King was mayor of the coal mining community of less than 1,000 people in the 1980s and 1990s. In this time, McLain, who served on city council with King, said his number one goal was the growth of his town.
"He helped rebuild city hall and the fire department here after the building did burn. That was quite a task," McLain added.
No arrests have been made yet, which has many in the town concerned about who killed the former mayor.
"Don't know what the outcome will be, but it would really surprise me if it's local," McLain said. "This is a very sick person who would do this."
Funeral services for King are scheduled for Friday.

There may have been no qualification issues at stake but Thailand scored an historic first ever win in any FIFA finals tournament by beating Australia 3-2 in the FIFA Futsal World Championship Chinese Taipei 2004.
Thai coach Glaucio Castro was understandably euphoric afterwards: "We missed a lot of chances but we deserved to win the game. The future starts here - today. With even better organisation we can improve Thailand football and have a bright future."
If Thailand were looking for their first ever win, the Indooroos were after their first World Championship victory since their thrilling 8-6 win over Costa Rica in Hong Kong 92.
Thailand began the match on top, showing greater technique than Australia and camping in their opponent's half. It was 20 minutes of few chances though and while Gilligan's men got control of the game by the end of the half neither keeper had much to do.
The first real chance was Australia's: Lertchai Issarasuwipakorn received a yellow card and conceded a free-kick on the edge of the area. Veteran Elliot Zwangobani back-heeled to Adrian Vizzari whose fierce drive struck the post with Somkid Chuenta beaten.
Manjarern sets Thais on their way
The deadlock was broken three minutes into the second half and Brazilian-born coach Glaucio Castro must have been pleased with the stylish strike - Joe Nueangkord skipped past Aussie skipper Brett Hewitt and squared at speed to an un-marked Anucha Manjarern to slide home.
Australia, one of only five nations to qualify for every Futsal World Championship, hit back before the large Thai contingent had retaken their seats - a rocket from Adrian Vizzari beating Chuenta from wide on the left.
Having got back in the match the Australians did their best to throw it away. Twice they allowed Issarasuwipakorn to nick the ball from their last man and run half the pitch. Foiled by the keeper first, then Hewitt cleared off the line. To Castro's consternation Sermphan Khumthinkaew then wasted another clear-cut opening.
It was time for the captain to step up to the plate - Pattaya Piemkum ramming home after O'Brien had made sprawling saves to deny Munjarern. With both sides on five fouls the last few minutes came alive. Chasing the game Damian Pilat stretched to score but was late on the keeper. He forced the ball home, but a foul was given, he was yellow carded and to compound his misery Yutthana Polsak scored the 10m kick.
Still the Aussies weren't finished, a fine move involving Pilat and Wright saw Singleton reduce the arrears to a single goal. In a frantic finale Australia couldn't force the equaliser - in fact it was the voluable Castro's side who wasted the best chance as Punpoem missed from 10m.
"We made too many mistakes and gave the ball away far too many times," said a disappointed Gilligan. "It's hard for us as all our players work and we need to play more matches at this sort of level. I thought we competed in all three games and could have got something out of the Czech Republic match. I'd like to continue in the job - there are a lot of young players with potential here."

Crash.Net F1 News
Rosberg: Others yet to show pace
3 March 2013
Nico Rosberg says Mercedes' rivals have yet to show their true hand as the final F1 test of the year moves towards its conclusion.
Rosberg was quickest at lunch on the final day in Barcelona having posted the quickest time of the week, going even faster than Lewis Hamilton had managed on Saturday.
However the German said it was important not to get carried away with the pace shown on track at Catalunya given that others haven't shown their true speed through the testing season.
"As we all know, you have to be very careful with the results of testing because you just don't know what other people are doing," he was quoted by
. "We know for a fact that our competitors haven't showed their potential by far, we know that for sure.
"What I can say is that we have made progress and I'm pleased with the way the winter has gone. Everything has gone to plan and the reliability has been sorted out. But what also needs to be said is that Melbourne will see completely different conditions again as it will be hotter.
"We know for a fact last year that one of our big weaknesses was tyre degradation. We've learnt a lot about that, but how far are we [to solving the issue], we will have to wait and see. Pleased is probably the best word [to describe my feeling], but we'll see."
The speed of the Mercedes had been a topic of discussion after Hamilton's pace-setting performance on Saturday, although Lotus team boss Eric Boullier was amongst those who were unconcerned by the fact that the F1 W04 was leading the way.
"I think they've definitely improved," he said. "But if you remember last year they were competitive at the beginning of the season as well. So there is no reason why they would not be competitive again at the beginning of the season, so let's wait and see in Melbourne.
"There is a big challenge to see what is going on because there was one-lap performance from some teams and especially the Mercedes car was fast, definitely. Then you have a different story when you go for higher fuel and the race simulation. I think the [one-lap] performance order will be different to the order in the race, so that's going to be interesting."

Mostly Cloudy
Wind: 0 mph
To The Editor:
I would like to address Brooke Cunningham's misunderstanding of the law that she relayed in the March 21 edition of The Valley Reporter opinion piece, "In My View." Vermont State Statute 24 V.S.A. § 1154 requires the town clerk to keep land records "in books to be furnished by the town." Included under this statute are the zoning permits and surveyed maps. None of our zoning records are kept in the vault due to lack of space. We have eight fire-retardant filing cabinets at the tune of about $2,000 each used for zoning records that, statutorily, should be in the vault. The purpose of the fire-retardant cabinets versus standard filing cabinets is that if there is a fire, we have two hours to save these records.
Yes, towns can invest thousands of dollars digitizing land records to be available via computer; however, they also need to keep a paper copy in the vault. I fully intend to digitize Waitsfield's land records, but in our current facility, we do not have the space to put a research computer. But when that day comes, voters will have to realize there will need to be a substantial line item in the yearly budget to maintain the digital program. Trevor Lewis, records analyst and local records program coordinator at the Vermont archives and records administration, says this: "Due to the rapid and seemingly ever-accelerating pace of technological obsolescence of all things digital, digital images have a special need for forward planning and mindful initiatives for migration to new physical media and new digital formats and systems over time in order to keep information accessible and reliable. For things that are truly 'archival' in the sense of needing to be kept forever (such as land records), paper remains a medium with known long-term stability and no risks of data degradation/corruption or technological obsolescence. Digital images and systems can augment paper, but one should probably proceed with extreme caution in actually using digital systems and images."
Folks need to be reminded that the town office is a public office: your public office that contains "your" public records…forever.

As baseball prepares for the arrival of it's near commissioner, many people are discussing possible changes to the game.
On the Baseball Show, Lou Merloni discussed what changes he wants to see.
"I don't want to see them do too much," said Merloni. "Got to keep the strategy. All these ideas, you can only bring in so many pitchers, I don't like that. So many trips to the mound…"
Steve Buckley explains why sometimes the game's strategy causes adds more time.
"Here's the problem Lou," said Buckley. "Nine times out of ten the pitching coach is going out there to internationally delay the game. Because your starter is getting lit up, you got to get a guy up, the manager says, 'go out there and buy some time."
Bob Neumeier wants games to be shorter at any cost.
"Whatever needs to be done, do it." said Neumeier. "Just do it, as far as I'm concerned. The games are getting way, way out of hand."

Hairston 'unlikely' to play vs. Hokies
North Carolina will have one guard back Saturday when it hosts Virginia Tech (noon, WRAL), but another guard likely will be sitting out.
Junior Leslie McDonald will play against the Hokies after a six-game absence — the first three games because of a sore knee, and the second three games because a suspension related to academics.
But sophomore P.J. Hairston is doubtful because of a concussion he suffered in Tuesday's 82-70 win at Boston College.
"He's probably not going to play on Saturday, but we'll make that decision on Saturday," UNC coach Roy Williams said on his weekly radio show Wednesday night.
Hairston was injured during a collision with teammate Dexter Strickland with 4:04 remaining in the first half. Williams said that Strickland's elbow and forearm hit Hairston on the chin, and Hairston's head whipped back when he hit the court.
"It was definitely painful for him, and it stunned him," Williams said. "It was almost like he was in shock a little bit."
After a few minutes, Hairston tried walking back to the bench with the help from teammates, but he almost collapsed and was eventually taken off on a stretcher.
"He was coherent — he could listen to you, he could understand — but it was a very slow response," Williams said.
Hairston returned to the UNC bench for a short time in the second half and was able to fly back with the team. He was evaluated by UNC doctors on Wednesday afternoon and a statement released by the school said that the Greensboro native was improving.
"We're certainly pleased that P.J. is feeling better, but it is unlikely that he will play on Saturday," UNC athletics trainer Chris Hirth said in the statement.
Hairston's concussion put an abrupt end to what was becoming a career night. He made all four of his 3-pointers for 12 points and added three assists, one steal and no turnovers in 12 minutes before the injury, which came with UNC leading 38-26.
"I was dumbfounded watching the tape how active he was in those 12 minutes he played," Williams said. "He was really doing a great job defensively much less hitting four 3s."
Hairston had scored 46 points in 46 minutes and was 12-of-18 from behind the arc during the past three games. He is the team's third-leading scorer, averaging 12.4 points.
His absence could mean a bigger role right away for McDonald, who is fourth on the team at 8.4 points a game and is hitting 43.1 percent of his 3-point shots. It could also mean more playing time for freshman J.P. Tokoto, who was challenged at halftime of the Boston College game after Hairston's injury.
"Last night, we put a lot of pressure on him," Williams said. "And I even told him, 'Son, your play in the first half was not good. I need you to be a player in the second half.' And I think he gave us seven to nine bigtime minutes in the second half and did some good things for us."
Tokoto finished with three points, two assists and a rebound in 13 minutes.

Fast fashion is getting faster and cheaper. Rarely a week goes by without a global brand announcing an expansion, new flagship store, partnership program or brand extension to woo millennial shoppers. But what is the real cost of fast fashion?
It's been a year since a factory collapsed in Bangladesh killing 1,129 people, and when Forever 21 Forever 21, home to the $8 dress, announced it would launch a new brand called F21 Red, Bangladesh came to mind. It's impossible not to wonder if anything was learned from that disaster.
The new F21 Red will debut in Southern California and offer a larger selection of items at what the retailer terms starting price points, including $1.80 camisoles and $7.80 denim for women and girls. There will be a range of $3.80 T-shirts and tank tops as well as $5.80 leggings in plus sizes.
How can a retailer sell camisoles for $1.80 and T-shirts for $3.80? Bangladesh comes to mind.
Fast fashion chains are expanding quickly. H&M H&M, Gap Gap and Fast Fashion's Uniqlo are all opening stores in China at a brisk pace. And there's room to grow in South America, India, Europe and the United States.
Forever 21 has roughly 600 stores today, H&M has 3,200, Zara Zara has more than 1,800 locations globally. Uniqlo and Top Shop are both just getting going and U.S. shoppers, specifically young U.S. shoppers, have an insatiable hunger for their goods.
To their credit, H&M, Gap and Zara have all signed a pledge to improve factory conditions and Forever 21 had a vendor compliance and ethical sourcing program that includes factory visits.
But as demand continues to climb for apparel items that retail for less than $2, the questions of how those are produced will linger. A year later, has Bangladesh changed much?

Police: Man shoots intruder four times
COAL GROVE, Ohio -- A Coal Grove resident confronted a man breaking into a storage unit at his home before shooting the suspect four times with a small caliber handgun Wednesday morning, according to a news release from Lawrence County Sheriff Jeff Lawless.
Brandon Blaike Danner, 18, of the 200 block of Duty Drive, Coal Grove, was shot four times in the upper torso with a .380-caliber handgun, Lawless said. Danner will be charged with breaking and entering, and other charges are pending, Lawless said.
Danner was listed in critical condition at Cabell Huntington Hospital in Huntington Wednesday night.
The homeowner is not currently facing any charges and is claiming self-defense, according to the sheriff's office. His name was not being released Wednesday because the investigation into the incident is ongoing and that information is considered part of the law enforcement confidential investigatory records, Lawless said. The homeowner also fears retribution, the sheriff said.
Ohio law applies the so-called Castle Doctrine, which generally gives people in their homes or cars the right to protect themselves, other people and their property by force, even deadly force, if they believe they are in imminent danger.
The incident on Wednesday occurred about 6 a.m. The sheriff's office received a telephone call from a homeowner who said a man was breaking into his storage building his back yard in the 600 block of Washington Street, according to the release.
Coal Grove police were already investigating a report of a prowler in the neighborhood several houses away from where the shooting took place, according to the release.
When the Coal Grove officer arrived, he found the homeowner had just shot a suspect. An ambulance was called, and Lawrence County Emergency Medical Service personnel treated the man before transporting him to Cabell Huntington Hospital. The man underwent surgery for the gunshot wounds, according to the release.
The homeowner told authorities he heard someone breaking into his storage building and when he went to the building he found that a man had forced the doors open and had removed a motorcycle from the building, according to the release.
Armed with a small caliber handgun, the homeowner confronted the suspect. He said the suspect became aggressive and claimed to have a knife. He said the man lunged toward him at which point he shot the suspect, according to the release.
Once the investigation is complete, findings will be presented to the office of Lawrence County Prosecutor Brigham Anderson for review to determine if charges will be filed against the homeowner or further charges will be placed against Danner, Lawless said.

Lee Builder Mart to close in June
After nearly 60 years serving contractors and handymen, Lee Builder Mart is going out of business.
Gilbert Lett started the store in 1955 selling cabinets on Bragg Street. By 1963, he had moved into a 33,000-square-foot building at the company's present location on Horner Boulevard, just south of U.S. 1. The business kept on expanding, eventually Gilbert's son Tony Lett took over, and now Lee Builder Mart has 115,000 square feet of retail, office and warehouse space that will be for sale or lease by the end of June.
"We've always done the majority of our business in Lee County," Lett said Thursday, the first day of the store's going-out-of-business sale. "... And I hate to say it, because I was born and bred here, but the economy just hasn't recovered."
At the height of its success — and the height of the housing bubble — Lee Builder Mart had satellite stores in Pittsboro and Siler City and employed 75 people. Once the housing bubble popped and the economy tanked, Lett closed the Chatham County locations and downsized to a staff of 42.
Now, despite the federal government having declared the recession officially over, Lett is still struggling to stay afloat despite cutting hours and shrinking to a staff of 16.
"It's been a long time coming," the 60-year-old Lett said. "For the past two or three years, we've tried to make that decision [to close], but because of the employees and still wanting to sell it to keep the business going, we tried to hold off."
But no one bought the company, so they decided to hold one last major sale before putting the building up as well. Everything is being sold, including the furniture, woodworking equipment, trucks and the retail merchandise, which ranges from doors to floors, paint, lumber and just about every kind of tool imaginable. The sale will last weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Lett owns and manages the store in concert with his sister, Janice Coleman, and her husband, Art. Coleman said the closure is bittersweet; she spent nearly her whole life at the store, starting when she turned 15 and got a job working the cash register. She got Art a job at the store when they were teenagers, and they've worked together there for nearly four decades while also navigating dating and marriage.
So while many of her fondest memories happened at Lee Builder Mart, she said, she's at least glad that she and her husband will finally be able to take a much-needed vacation. But that still doesn't dull the pain she feels.
"Turnout has been great today," she said Thursday, when the sale led to a packed parking lot. "I just wish it had been this way for the past three years. But I'm not into sour grapes. Our issues have been the economy and cheap competition. ... We always prided ourselves on quality products."
Lett also acknowledged that competition has played a role in the business's slide, in addition to the economy. More than 80 percent of their sales were to contractors, he said, so when demand for homes dried up and others came in offering cheaper goods, the contractors went with the cheaper option.
He said he considered waiting a few more years to see if military realignments brought growth to Fort Bragg and southern Lee County, or if development in Chatham County brought growth to northern Lee County.
But he had played that game before and learned that nearby growth doesn't always spill over county lines.
"I was on the [Sanford Area Chamber of Commerce] board about 30 years ago when Apex and Cary exploded," Lett said. "And we thought Sanford would be next. Well, it all went to Holly Springs."
Lett, the chamber's 2013 Small Business Advocate of the Year, said he's not ready to retire yet and is looking for a new project. In the meantime, he'll have his hands full: He serves on the Central Carolina Community College foundation board, he's a longtime member of Triangle South Workforce Development, the Sanford Rotary Club and First Baptist Church, and he has been involved with Habitat for Humanity ever since it started in Sanford.
Coleman and her husband also are active in church and civic work, and she said they were all raised to be involved in the community. She said she has no ill will toward the people of the community she loves for not being able to sustain the business, even if she does wish potential customers would focus more on quality products than on low prices.
"People say competition is good because it drives down prices," Coleman said. "And I guess that's good for the consumer — maybe."

V. S. MARTIN Filed March 24, 1955 INVENTOR. Ymm u s. MAR T//v A fro/wf y April 21, 1959 METHODS OF MAKING INSULATED CoNDUCToRs --Unid States Patent O METHODS OF MAKING INSULATED CONDUCTORS Victor S. Martin, Towson, Md., assignor to Western Electric Company, Incorporated, New York, N.Y., a corporation of New York Application March 24, 1955, Serial No. 496,418 7 Claims. (Cl. 154--2.24)
This invention relates to methods of making insulated conductors, and more particularly to methods of making flexible tinsel conductors.
In the manufacture of certain types of tinsel conductors for use in communication devices, a plurality of tinsel ribbons are wrapped in various ways around textile strands, a cover of non-conductive material is knitted therearound and an outer covering of plastic insulating material is formed over the conductors while the knitted covering holds them in place. It has been found desirable to eliminate the knitting o eration and to cover the twisted tinsel threads with longitudinally extending strands of material, such as cotton or the like. However, it would be diicult to maintain a plurality of longitudinal strands of this nature positioned around the conductors uniformly during the forming of the outer covering.
It is, therefore, an object of this invention to provide new and improved methods of making insulated conductors.
Another object of this invention is to provide new and improved methods of making iexible tinsel conductors.
A method of making insulated conductors illustrating certain features of the invention may include positioning a plurality of conductive strands along an axis, positioning strands held together by a binding material longitudinally of the axis and around the conductive strands, forming insulation around the material-held strands, and dissolving the binding material.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will appear from the following detailed description of a method of making insulated conductors forming a specic embodiment thereof, when read in conjunction with the appended drawings, in which: ,p
Fig. 1 Vis a fragmentary view of a exible conductor embodying the invention;
Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of an apparatus with which methods embodying the invention may be practiced, and l vFig. 3 is an enlarged, fragmentary section taken along line 3 3 of Fig. 2. Y Y l Referring now to the drawings, a flexible tinsel conductor consists of a plurality of flexible tinsel threads 11-11 wrapped helically around a center ycord 12. Fig. l shows six of such threads 11-11, but any number could be wound around the cord 12. The individual tinsel threads 11-11 have stranded cores 15-15 composed of a multiplicity of textile strands, such as cotton or the like. Inner layers 16-16 of tinsel ribbons, preferably of material having high conductivity and flexibility, such as copper, bronze, or the like, are wound in a somewhat helical fashion tightly about the stranded cores 15-15. Outer layers 17-17 of similar tinsel ribbons are wound in identical fashion over the inner layers 16 16. It will be noted that the outer layers 17-17 are so positioned as to cover the interstices between adjacent convolutions of the inner layers 16-16. As far as the tinsel ribbons 16--16 and 17-17 are concerned, the stranded cores 15-15 are chiefly designed to provide tensile strength and to relieve the tinsel ribbons themselves of tensile stress, and at the same time afford minimum resistance to ilexure.
A tape 20 is formed into a tube tinsel conductor 10. The tape 20 consists of a plurality of strands 22-22 (Fig. 3), preferably of textile thread spun from cotton, or the like, placed in side-by-side position and secured together by a binding material 23. The binding material 23 may be a heat-dissolving adhesive, such as glue, a thermoplastic material, or the like. The material 23 forms the body of the tape 20 with the strands 22-22 spaced uniformly across the tape and embedded therein. The tape 20 is formed into a longitudinally extending tube 21, whereby the strands 22-22 are positioned uniformly around the ilexible tinsel conductor 10 so that the axes of the strands are parallel to the axis of the center cord 12, and the strands are so held initially by the binding material 23. A covering 25 of insulating material is formed by a suitable process, such as extrusion, around the tube 21. The insulating material 25 may be a vulcanizable material, such as a compound of rubber, neoprene or the like, or it may be a thermoplastic material, such as polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, or the like.
ln Fig. 2, apparatus is disclosed which may be utilized in performing the objects of the invention. A supply 'reel is shown at 26 to provide a supply of the conductor 10 consisting of the twisted tinsel threads 11-11 wound helically around the center cord 12, as described above. A supply pad 27 of the tape 20 is provided, and the tape is passed therefrom over a guide roller 30 and through a suitable tube forming device 31, which forms the tape into the tube 21 around the flexible tinsel conductor 10. The flexible tinsel conductor 10 and the tube 21 formed therearound are then passed as a unit through an extruding machine 32, and the covering 25 is extruded around the tube 21. The completed conductor is wrapped around a capstan 35 which draws the conductor through the extruding machine 32, and iinally is Wound on a takeup reel 36.
The tape 20, which consists of the longitudinal threads 22-22 held together initially by the binding material 23, is relatively stiff at room temperature and may be formed 21 around the flexible at will. ductor.
As hereinbefore stated, the binding material 23 of the tape 20 may be an adhesive, such as glue, a suitable thermoplastic material, or other material capable of bindingtthe strands together, but which decomposes, disintegrates or melts at a temperature no higher than that reached in the extruder. If the material is made of glue, the glue Will disintegrate in the extruder 32 when the covering 25 is formed therearound, be reduced to small particles of powder-like form, and be dispersed within the covering. If the binding material is made of a thermoplastic material, the material will melt during the extruding operation and may become integral with the covering 25. When a polymerized thermoplastic material is utilized to form the covering 25, it may be desirable to use the same material of lower polymerization, or another low melting point plastic, for the binding material 23, so that the binding material will melt at a temperature lower than that to which the covering material will be heated during the extrusion operation. By so doing, the material 23 will be assured of melting within the covering 25. When the term dissolving is used herein and in the annexed claims, it is intended to mean a decomposition, disentegration or melting of the binding material, as distinguished from the dissolving of a material in a solvent.
If the covering 25 is a vulcanizable material, such as rubber, neoprene, or the like, a vulcanizing chamber of conventional design wouldbe placed between the extruder 32 and the capstan 35 to cure the material. 1f the covering 25 is a thermoplastic material, a Water trough may be placed therebetween to cool the material.
'Ihe spacing between the strands 22-22 is greatly exaggerated in thedrawings, and in fact is quite small. These strands, while lending flexibility to the nished tinsel conductor 1), also contribute great tensile strength thereto, They act further as a` barrier between the metallic tinsel ribbons 16-16, 17-17 and the extruded covering 25. This barrier is necessary if, for example, the tinsel ribbons are made of copper or bronze and the covering of rubber has some sulfur therein. The sulfur would have a corrosive effect on the copper or bronze and this effect is prevented by interposing the strands 22-22 between the two. The strands also act as a mechanical barrier to protect the tinsel ribbons 16--16 and 17--17 against damage by crushing or other compressive forces to which the conductor may be subjected in use.
It is manifest that the invention is not limited to the preferred embodiments hertofore described and various modications may be made within the spirit and scope of the invention. Thus, the covering 25 may be applied in any manner as long as the requirement is satisfied that suicient heat be generated during such application to dissolve the binding material 23.
Also, it is evident that the tinsel conductor may comprise a single textile core around which a plurality of tinsel ribbons are helicallyY wound. For example, four tinsel ribbons may be wound around a textile core and the tape 20 and outer covering 25 applied therearound, as hereinbefore described.
What is claimed is:
1. The method of making insulated conductors, which comprises positioning a along an axis, positioning strands held together by a binding material disintegrable at a predetermined temperature parallel to said axis and around said conductive strands, and forming insulation around said material-held strands at a temperature at least as high as said predetermined temperature so that said binding material is disintegrated. f
2. The method of making insulated conductors, which comprises positioning a plurality of conductors along an axis, forming a tube `of together by a heat-disintegrable binding material disintegrable at a predetermined temperature around said conductors and parallel to said axis, and forming a plastic covering around said non-conductors at a temperature at least as high as said predetermined temperature such that the said material is disintegrated.

By Douglas J. GillertAmerican Forces Press Service
PATRICK AIR FORCE BASE, Fla., March 31, 1999 Two years ago, Col. William S. Swindling faced a difficult decision. The Air Force told him to cut the 45th Medical Group staff by 24 percent. He had to decide when to make the cuts and how to continue delivering quality health care to a growing population with fewer medics.
At the same time Patrick Air Force Base faced cuts, the Navy was closing its base in nearby Orlando. That meant thousands of retirees dependent on the Navy for health care would turn to Patrick, particularly its pharmacy. Swindling figured the time was right for wholesale changes in the way the Patrick hospital provided health care.
"We switched to a customer service culture," the medical group commander said. Meeting customer needs would steer all future actions. How the group restructured to meet beneficiary requirements reveals how much military health care as a whole has changed since DoD adopted TRICARE as its primary health care system.
With a smaller staff, Swindling knew his group couldn't provide all the services it had in the past. First to go were inpatient and emergency services. Next went the ambulance service. But in most cases, Swindling said, civilian contractors in nearby communities replaced the lost services with even better services.
For example, the base ambulances were staffed by emergency medical technicians who could provide only basic life support. Patrick established a 911 service with the Harbor City Volunteer Ambulance Service, whose ambulances are staffed with paramedics trained in advanced life support.
"By cutting us out of the loop," Swindling said, "we actually improved services to our people."
Swindling first put together an interdisciplinary team to steer the many changes the group faced. He empowered the team to design and implement right-sizing initiatives and to market the changes to the base population and nearby communities. The team initially decided to offer walk-in surgical care, but this year opted to close it, as well. An abundance of high-quality civilian health care facilities near the base gave the Patrick group the leeway needed to keep costs down while still providing patients a high level of care.
To meet patient needs on base, the clinic extended its hours, providing evening and weekend access to primary care. Same-day appointments were initiated for acute and urgent care, while most other patients can be seen within 24 hours of calling for an appointment.
Some of the biggest changes were saved for the pharmacy. With the closure of the Navy pharmacy in Orlando, the Patrick pharmacy's annual prescription output rose from $3 million a year to more than $5 million. To help recoup costs, the clinic hired a contractor to set up the Patrick Pre-emptive Prescription Payment Program, or P5. Using a common database, the P5 searches for billable prescriptions in DoD's Composite Health Care System.
In fiscal 1997, before P5, Patrick posted 3,252 claims against beneficiaries' insurance companies and collected $65,000. In fiscal 1998, with P5, the clinic posted 13,741 claims and collected $258,621.
Now, the clinic is assigning each patient to a specific primary care team with its own appointment phone line.
Amid all these changes, clinical staff put together information packets and went door-to-door in family housing on a Saturday morning to advise their primary customers of the restructured services. As a result, Swindling said, the clinic has received no major complaints and no congressional complaints despite eliminating many services it previously provided on base.
Swindling said the clinic is a prototype for other DoD clinics facing staff and service cuts. Other command and installation medical staffs frequently visit or call the Patrick clinic for advice and information on how to improve their services. They want to find out how the 45th Medical Group made an ill system well.

My first amatuer muay thai fight.
I had the pleasure of fighting at War of the Heroes III June 13th, 2009. I was the first fight of the night. First time out of the gate. I lost the fight but I learned quite a bit. I know there are quite a few things I can work on which I have discussed with my trainers. I'm in the yellow trunks. Also the people around the camera person are biased since it was my gym buddies. It was really cool have their support there. Let me know what you guys think.
Overall, holy **** what an awesome experience!
Summary: I'm in the yellow trunks. I lost.

Good job. You did great in the first round (nice right hand you got there), but it looked like you started to gas in the second, and you didn't have much left in the third. Nerves will do that to you.
But even when you were exhausted, you kept throwing and never quit. Congratulations, and good luck in your next fight.

Nice one dude. How long you been training? I only got to look at your film briefly, but one thing I'd look at his your boxing. notice how you jab by "lashing" out with your left arm. it's almost like you're trying to backhand instead of use your fist. Keep your form tighter and you'll provide a smaller target, with a better defence.
and by all of this I mean that your jab will be a better weapon to hurt as well as set up your right cross.
well done for fighting, and props for showing the vid :D

I knew when I became a mom my life would never be the same. It was an intangible thought, though, one I would not fully grasp until well after LB's first birthday. Perhaps even then, I struggle at times with how complex and deep these changes go.
Life changes beyond the obvious sleep deprivation, spit-up, baby crap that now resides in your living room/car/den/kitchen/coat pockets. It's something that lives and breathes in your mind as you worry about fires, car accidents, illnesses. You cringe when they hurt and you cry when they cry. And you wake up running when they call for you at 2AM.
But most certainly the most glaring change of all, as I sit here trying to work while LB is at school and I listen to my iTunes library, is that somewhere after Nora Jones and Amos Lee I hear "Five Green and Speckle Frogs" by Rafaii.
Life will never be the same.

Can I tell you? I sometimes put the Laurie Berkner CDS in while I'm driving alone. As in, without the kids. I understand.
Boy? Girl????

Hrmmmm, the life changes kinda sneak up on you, I have found…considering that I have downloaded The Cat Came Back by Raffi…
I hope you are doing well.

I still think you need the bean necklace, then when this one graduates from high school, you can wear it and bawl your eyes out….not that you're not going to do that anyway, just sayin….

We're still singing Raffi's "Must Be Santa" song here….
By AmyM on 2007 01 22
We gave Delaney a copy of "Parakeets" for Christmas (it's Jimmy Buffett's songs sung by children). Now that is ALL we can listen to in the car. Her favorite is #2 which is "Volcano." She shouts, "Wanna hear MY song!" during the entire drive even when "her song" is playing.
Any news yet???
By Colleen on 2007 01 22
Dude, I thought I was the only one with Raffi on my ipod!
By Kirdito on 2007 01 22
Yup, pretty sure I too have sleep deprivation residing in all my pockets. Especially those lightweight jackets I put away when it officially became too cold to wear them. I just know it's waiting in there for me when I get them out again this spring.
By Jessica on 2007 01 24
Gotta tell ya, my iPod and the music thing is one thing I will not give over to the kid stuff… They have to listen to whatever I'm listening to (edited of course) I grew up listening to my parents music…so, yeah… It doesn't seem to bother them too much.

Sometimes people wonder why I care so much about LGBT issues.
Stories like this: that's why.
This is the story of a trans woman called Lucy Meadows, and it's a sad story. It ends in suicide. I feel Lucy's pain and I want to share it with the world, to tell everyone I can reach that it didn't have to be this way. If the rest of the world were better, Lucy Meadows didn't have to die.
Lucy started her career as a teacher when she was still living as a man, but she gradually came to a point in her story where she wanted to present herself in the gender that best matched who she was in her brain – a woman. Prior to Christmas break, her students knew her as a male teacher; when they came back to school, she'd be a female teacher instead. Sometimes that's how life happens.
The school took the right tone, trying not to make a big deal of it. In a letter home to parents, describing various staffing changes, they explained matter-of-factly that "Mr Upton has made a significant change in his life and will be transitioning to live as a woman after the Christmas break. She will return to work as Miss Meadows." From there, the school would hopefully have encouraged parents and teachers to inform themselves about what it means to be transgendered, so they could answer kids' questions and concerns with sensitivity, acceptance, and honesty. The kids would learn some important lessons, they would ultimately see that Miss Meadows was the same person as before even if she dressed differently and had a different name now, and everybody would ultimately be richer for the experience.
Then Richard Littlejohn at the Daily Mail decided to write an extremely judgmental editorial saying that this teacher – always disrespectfully referred to in the male pronoun Meadows found such a poor fit – was "not only in the wrong body, he's in the wrong job".
The article was chock-full of hand-wringing over how the school board,solely by keeping Meadows on staff, was failing to protect students, and "won't somebody please think of the children!" Littlejohn fretted about the confusion kids would experience, boys' fears that they might also turn into little girls, the unfairness that Meadows (still being unfailingly called 'Nathan Upton') would dare "project his personal problems onto impressionable young children". He didn't even want Meadows to take on a new name – "why not Miss Upton?", as if it's completely unheard-of for teachers to have name changes for all sorts of reasons.
Now, I can't say whether Meadows was or wasn't a good teacher, because I have no information on the subject (beyond a student's drawing of her teacher that suggests a well-liked grown-up). But Littlejohn wants to argue that Meadows was a bad teacher solely because she had the misfortune of being assigned at birth to a gender that didn't match how she felt inside. Just because she was transgendered. Now that's vile. An accident of birth doesn't tell us anything about whether she was giving those kids a good education.
Imagine yourself as someone who has dedicated their life to helping children learn. You've made it your goal every day to uplift and educate them, to help prepare them for life. You've got your own struggles to confront – who doesn't? – but you've persevered as you tried to figure it all out, building your life around a noble goal like teaching.
Now, just as you've finally figured out how bring the whole thing into focus, to make your life feel like it's actually your own for the first time, some newspaper jerk writes an article that accuses you of selfishly imperiling your students and destroying their innocence, just because you have the audacity to try and bring out who you really are on the inside. Littlejohn publicly shamed Meadows and proclaimed very loudly that "if you don't hide who you are, you're putting the children you care about at risk" – in other words, the reality of who you are inside is grotesque and monstrous and dirty and it will ruin these children if they're allowed to find out about it.
Likely we can't put all the blame on Littlejohn. Somebody had to call the media's attention to the story. And I'm sure there were more than a few parents in the community who were happy to talk up the scandal. Certainly the Daily Mail was able to find a few parents willing to express stern disapproval. But the national media coverage certainly exposed the story to a wider audience of people willing to suggest that encounters with transgendered people will somehow warp children and cause them damage.
If I'm totally honest with myself, I can't blame Meadows for taking her life. I can understand the level of pain this would have caused. Encountering so much condemnation on such a broad scale would be devastating. And this is condemnation of parts of her life that were so central to her identity. There didn't need to be a conflict between her work with children and who she felt she was inside. People forced that on her because they didn't understand and they rushed to judge without educating themselves.
The kind of unrelenting criticism she would have received . . . well, it wears down your soul to be told over and over that you're hurting the people you most want to help, that you're bad for the people you care about most. You start to wonder if you're an evil human being. If all these people think so, how can they be wrong?
It's not hard to imagine; it's a place I've been before. And I know I'm not alone in that. I know it's a place plenty of LGBT folks have been, which is probably a big part of why I care.
The problem here wasn't the children who would have been scarred for life by encountering a transitioning adult. It was their parents who couldn't deal. Sometimes I feel disgusted that we live in a world of so little empathy, such harsh judgment and condemnation, that kids become empathetic in spite of their parents and struggle (often in vain) to educate the grown-ups they love. I'm disgusted that, as adults, we shy away from educating ourselves so we can have honest conversations about how it's not a crime to be different.
The kids would have been just fine. Kids do best when they're not sheltered from the reality that some people live different from how you do; they're not as judgmental and rigid as adults. It's easy to explain to a kid who's worried that "no one has to turn into a girl if they don't want to" and "Miss Meadows looks different but she's still the same person inside". Kids can accept that. They can understand change.
Much harder to accept, in my opinion, is the knowledge these children now have to carry instead. The idea that, because Miss Meadows was different, people were so mean to her she died from it. The idea that, if they end up being different, they might be in for the same level of cruelty. The lesson that the world is mean, and if you want to express some part of your persona that others don't like, it's not okay, maybe not even safe.
That's a hard lesson to take back, and I'm sad for the kids who've had to learn it.
That's why I care about LGBT issues: because I don't want my kids to have to discover one day that they live in a really mean world where it's not okay to show who you really are. I don't just want to conceal the meanness from them; I want to give them a world that isn't actually mean anymore.
And every little pocket of love and acceptance helps. I have to believe that.
Edit: Lucy Meadows' cause of death was not confirmed initially as a suicide, and it's not 100% clear that she took her own life – the impression I initially got from Zinnia Jones on Freethought Blogs. Death could have been suicide or it could have been natural; it's an ambiguous case. But I don't think my point is invalidated if she didn't despair to the point of killing herself: Littlejohn's article was still vile, and the hurtful attitudes it expressed are still prejudiced, and I still want better for trans* people everywhere.

Faraway Bay, the Kimberley, Western Australia
I've just returned from a holiday to Faraway Bay, located about an hour by plane from Kununurra in the far north of Australia. The resort only takes 12 guests at a time and the fishing is wonderful. Crucially, so is the food – truly memorable dishes using produce fresh from the ocean and estuaries, and the best thing is that Faraway Bay also runs a cooking school a few times a year. Don't miss the camp oven cook-up by Steve (he'll also show you some Aboriginal art dating back 10,000 to 20,000 years).
I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

Recently I ordered the LIQUA-SHIELD Folio Case with Bluetooth Keyboard for my IPAD. I tried everything to get it to work and it wouldn't. I e-mailed the company a couple of times and was offered a replacement. I accepted the replacement offer and it was on the way to me within a day or so. This is EXCELLENT customer service and I for one really appreciate a company that provides service like this.

Turkish Airlines plans to resume services to Benghazi and Tripoli in Libya.
Benghazi flights will be operated four times a week from 13 September, said the carrier.
Turkey plans to help Libya repair the damage to the airport caused during the country's ongoing civil war. Turkish airport directorate DHMI is sending an instrument landing system (ILS) to the airport.
Libya is working towards reopening Tripoli Airport to air traffic, and THY plans to resume four-weekly Tripoli flights on 24 September.
Turkish airport operator TAV, which is constructing a new terminal at Tripoli, is planning to return to the project shortly.
TAV chief executive Sani Sener said: "We have started negotiations to return to Libya to finish construction of the new Tripoli Airport. Nearly half of the project is finished. We believe construction will re-start soon."
The cost of the project is €1.5 billion ($2.1 billion).
TAV has also won a contract for a project at Libya's Sebha Airport, but it is less certain when it will be able to begin work. "At the moment, [Muammar] Gaddafi forces are controlling the area. For Sebha, we are waiting for peace," said Sener.

The Faculty of Educational Science at the University of Bielefeld has built a strong reputation over the years as a faculty renowned both within Germany and internationally for its outstanding research. The faculty is consistently rated high in national rankings - for example, the CHE ranking, which places the faculty among the best education programs in Germany at the very top of the rankings, as well as in the FOCUS ranking, which has placed Bielefeld in first place among all university faculties of education in Germany twice consecutively.
In the faculty, research and teaching activities are carried out in ten Working Groups (AG1-10). There are also cooperative research projects conducted through various Centers and Research Units in the faculty that guarantee diverse opportunities for networking and international collaboration. Through a thematic structure that differentiates the educational sciences into its various subdisciplines, the faculty provides a foundation for addressing specific research questions. The faculty's educational research covers the "classic" focal areas - teaching, social and school pedagogy, as well as adult education - while also focusing on socialization, guidance, further education, media, youth and migration pedagogy, and cultural work - research fields that have earned the faculty at Bielefeld high renown. Another feature that makes the Faculty of Educational Science in Bielefeld unique within the German research landscape are its research units Laboratory School and Senior Secondary College. Furthermore, special needs education has been made an integral part of innovative teaching and research at Bielefeld in the field of school pedagogy.
Since its founding, the Faculty of Educational Science at Bielefeld has been firmly committed to interdisciplinary research, while at the same time seeing this research as inconceivable without a strong core within the discipline. The Faculty of Educational Science pursues basic research as well as applied research for various teaching contexts and for political and economic policy-making, and thus plays an active role in shaping and influencing society on a regional and national level.
More Projects are to be found on the pages of the working groups.

When crocheting things like a bed spread, you can buy tobacco string and use it like crochet thread. It comes on a cone and a lot cheaper then the crochet thread. You can buy it at the stores that sell seeds and feed for cattle. The thread is cotton.

Roughly what does the tobacco string cost (at least, in a standard feed/farm store), and roughly how big is the cone? I enjoy working with different materials, and I think I'd like to try this out, if it's affordable enough.
By eve [16]09/17/2009
I am going to look for this. This is the first time I have heard of this. I love thread. : )
By Melody Bressler-Hay [19]09/17/2009
Why is it called tobacco string and what is/was its intended purpose? Just curious since I have never heard of it before now.
By Teresa Tart [1]09/17/2009
You are so right. My grandmother used to use tobacco string a lot. The item holds up better also.

Shops and businesses asked to support the air ambulance
Posted: March 07, 2014|
AN air ambulance charity is appealing for Ashbourne shops and business to support their lifesaving work by displaying a collection tin for customer donations.
Last year the Midlands Air Ambulance charity raised more than £400,00 through the service's distinctive red collection tins, which will cover the aviation fuel costs for the three air ambulance helicopters during 2014.
Jason Levy, fund-raising manager, is extremely grateful for the on going support: "We are extremely grateful to everyone who has donated their loose change to us as it has added up to make an incredibly important difference, and will enable our aircrews to continue their life saving work.
"If you have the facility to display one of our tins, we'd love to hear from you, just call us on 0800 840 2040."

Fat gets a bad rap. We work hard to burn it off our bodies, keep it off and rid our diets of it. Regardless of this social stigma, fat is an essential nutrient that is vitally important to a healthy lifestyle.
True, there is an important distinction between healthy and unhealthy fats. Still, the very word "fat" remains a vulgarity in fitness circles. Understanding exactly why we need fat and what sort of fat we should be taking in will help restore this misunderstood nutrient to a healthy place in your diet.
What Fat Does
Primarily, fat is a source of fuel (calories) along with proteins and carbohydrates. Fat, though, provides 9 calories per gram while protein and carbs only offer 4 calories per gram, making fat a much richer source of biological fuel.
Carbohydrates are burned for fuel first during exercise but your body doesn't store many carbs and typically runs out after about 20 minutes of activity, at which point it begins to use fat. For prolonged exercise, there needs to be fat present in your body.
But fat does a lot more than just keep you moving. Dietary fats carry linoleic and linolenic acids, which cannot be made by your body and must come from your food. These essential acids control inflammation, blood clotting and contribute to healthy brain development. Fat is also necessary for the proper absorption and movement of the vitamins A, D, E and K, all of which keep your hair and skin healthy.
Of course, the form of fat that gets the most attention and causes the most grief is the form that gets deposited around our bodies. This is the body's method for storing excess calories from all sources, whether it be protein, carbs or dietary fat. This means that dietary fat isn't solely to blame for fat deposits.
Remember, too, that this is where that fuel comes from when you've exhausted your carbohydrate supplies. The trick, then, is eating the right amount of calories to fuel your goals and focusing on the right types of fat.
Good Fat vs Bad Fat
There are two types of fat: saturated and unsaturated. These two types can be divided down even further.
Unsaturated fats are the celebrated "good" fats, and include poly- and mono-unsaturated fats. Both of these fats may help to improve overall heart health by lowering your cholesterol and slowing the formation of plaque on the walls of your arteries. Olives, nuts and fish are all excellent sources of these good fats, including omega-3 fatty acids.
Saturated fats are the ones you really have to look out for, and the American Heart Association recommends keeping them below seven percent of your total daily caloric intake. Not only are saturated fats connected with heart disease and increased cholesterol, but there is evidence that they may also increase the risk of colon and prostate cancers. This group also encompasses the infamous trans fats which are frequently used in fried and baked foods. Saturated fats are found in red meat, poultry, coconut and dairy products.
Eat Fat to Lose Weight?
So while the evidence suggests that small amounts of healthy dietary fat, accounting for about 25 percent to 30 percent of your daily calories, may be good for your heart, those numbers have been called into question. Some recent diets champion much higher levels of fat –closer to 50 percent — and recent research hints at merit in this approach.
The study was conducted at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and was designed to test the impact that meal timing has on body composition. During the 18-week-long study, a group of mice was feed a high-fat diet on a strict schedule so that they received the food at the same time and were given a limited time to eat their meal. These results were compared to three control groups: one ate a low-fat, scheduled diet, one with an unscheduled, low-fat diet, and another with an unscheduled, high-fat diet.
At the end of the study the scheduled, high-fat mice weighed less than the other groups and had also entered a unique metabolic state where their dietary fat wasn't stored but was immediately burned for fuel.
Before you take this information and switch to a high-fat diet, remember that no human studies have shown the same effects. Also, the study does not detail the source of fat that the mice received.
The study does suggest, however, that a properly controlled diet that includes rather than excludes fat could aid in weight loss. These findings go a long way to clear the name of fats.
Have you tried a diet high in healthy-fats? Please share your experience with us in the comments.

On Saturday, November 10th, the TJ and Friends Foundation will be holding another turkey shoot fundraiser.
Tony "Pete" Mincey is with the TJ and Friends Foundation, and felt that a turkey shoot would be a solid fundraiser for the organization.
"Well I have been to a lot of turkey shoots", said Mincey, "and I thought that would just be a good fundraiser for the foundation."
Mincey detailed how exactly this coming Saturday's Turkey Shoot would work.
"We will set up ten targets at thirty yards, and you will have ten people at a time shooting at those targets, and the closest one to the center will win whatever prize is up for grabs", explained Mincey.
Participants will be able to "buy in" to particular rounds for prizes that catch their eye. Typical rounds will only be five dollars a shot, but higher caliber prizes may cost up to thirty dollars to shoot for.
The Turkey Shoot will take place at the Elberton Gun Club located off of Ruckersville Road. Mincey said that this will be a great family event to come out and enjoy.
"Just bring your gun and kids, it is a family event. So bring your wives and kids out to the event. If I can get enough kids to participate I will have a kids only round during the shoot", said Mincey.
The event begins at 10:00am this Saturday, and all proceeds raised during the fundraiser will go directly to the TJ and Friends Foundation.
If anyone is interested in donating items to be shot for, then you can contact Tony Mincey at (706) 424-1147.
