Pair of Mens Soccer Players Earn NSCAA All-Region Honors
KANSAS CITY, Kan. – Two Creighton men's soccer players, senior Zach Barnes and junior Eric Miller, earned selections on a National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) All-Region team the organization announced Tuesday.
Miller claimed a spot on the Great Lakes All-Region Second Team as a defender while Barnes earned recognition on the Great Lakes All-Region Third Team as a midfielder. The selections extend Creighton's streak of placing a player on an NSCAA All-Region squad to 23 consecutive seasons dating back to 1991.
Playing every minute of the 2013 season for the Jays helped Miller achieve recognition by the NSCAA. The Woodbury, Minn. native scored three goals this season for Creighton, increasing his career total to four. Miller scored game-winning shots against Xavier and at Butler this season, the first of his career. He also assisted on a goal at William & Mary to finish the season with seven points for the Jays. Miller was named BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Week twice during the season and also earned a spot on the conference's weekly honor roll.
Barnes started all 20 contests for CU and played every minute of seven of the Bluejays' nine BIG EAST contests this season, while only spending 28 minutes on the sidelines. The Flower Mound, Texas, native scored his first goal in a Creighton uniform off of a penalty kick in a 2-1 overtime victory at Old Dominion this season. Barnes also assisted on two goals and finished the year with four points for the Jays. The 2013 senior captain claimed All-BIG EAST First Team honors last month to close out his career in Omaha.
Creighton earned an NCAA Tournament bid for the 21st time in 22 years this season. The Bluejays finished the year at 9-9-2 overall after a 2-1 downfall to Seattle U. in a 2013 NCAA First Round match at Morrison Stadium on Nov. 21. Creighton finished fifth in its inaugural season in the BIG EAST with a 4-4-1 mark, culminating with a conference tournament quarterfinal appearance.

LOWVILLE Lack of official notice will delay a proposed change to Lewis Countys all-terrain vehicle permit system.
While county lawmakers last week set a public hearing for 5 p.m. Tuesday on a proposed law changing the ATV permit fee to $65 and eliminating any club member discount, a required legal notice of it was inadvertently never published.
As a result, lawmakers will need to set another public hearing Tuesday, likely at a special meeting in mid-March, said Board of Legislators Chairman Michael A. Tabolt, R-Croghan.
Permits now cost $40 for an ATV owned by a member of a club in the Tug Hill Adirondack ATV Association and $80 for a machine owned by a nonmember, and some club officials have expressed concern the switch would remove an incentive for riders to join clubs.
Public hearings on proposed laws opening 4.8 miles of Byrons Corners, Highmarket and Mackay roads segments to ATV traffic will proceed as scheduled Tuesday.

Ducks rock practice: 'We haven't missed a beat'
PHOENIX (AP) — The lineman-sized guy with the long shorts and "O'' on his hat gave the first indication of the frenetic pace behind the gate.
"You better hurry — you've got 10 minutes," he said. "The clock is ticking."
He wasn't kidding.
With Wolfmother's "Joker And The Thief" blaring from massive speakers near midfield, Oregon's players opened Tuesday's practice by forming lines and clapping to the beat. About the time the song hit the first chorus, the second-ranked Ducks sprinted to every corner of the field, breaking into positional groups for a series of quick-hitting drills, bodies and balls flying all over the north Phoenix high school field.
Even in practice, a month after their last game, no less, these Ducks can fly.
"It's been unbelievable," Oregon defensive tackle Brandon Bair said. "We haven't missed a beat."

At a Scottsdale community college nearly 20 miles away, Auburn (13-0) was going through its first practice in the desert before Monday's BCS national title game at University of Phoenix Stadium.
The soundtrack was different, the intensity the same.
Playing to the rhythm of crunching pads and yelling coaches instead of music, the top-ranked Tigers shook off the rust with a two-hour-or-so practice that left them looking focused and relaxed after being greeted by dozens of fans at the team hotel the night before.
"Hopefully, we can create our own soundtrack," said Cam Newton, Auburn's Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback. "But it depends on who's doing the playlist; hopefully it's not coach (Gene) Chizik."
They've been waiting a long time to start up the band.
Auburn hasn't won a national title since 1957 and got stiff-armed out of the championship game after the 2004 season, when USC and Oklahoma got the nod over the unbeaten Tigers.
Auburn wrapped up its season on Nov. 26 with a 56-17 paddling of No. 18 South Carolina that all but locked up the Heisman for Newton after his six-TD performance. Since then, the Tigers have had plenty of time to watch film of Oregon's offense leaving opponents gasping, even faking injuries.
Between the Ducks' speed and the five-week break between games, yeah, conditioning will be a primary focus this week.
"We're doing a lot of conditioning with everybody," Chizik said. "Obviously, our whole football team has been off for a long time, so it's not just the defense; we've done extra lifting and conditioning with the whole team."
The Tigers aren't exactly slow — both teams are top 10 in scoring and total offense — and Oregon's last game was on Dec. 4, so the Ducks need to get their feathers loose, so to speak, as well.
Based on a glimpse of desert practice No. 2 — Auburn's was closed — they seem to already be in high gear.
Racing around to an eclectic playlist that included "Eye of the Tiger" and Elvis Crespo's "Suavemente," Oregon (12-0) turned the practice field into a beehive of organized commotion.
The quarterbacks loosened up with some long-arm throws over the top to receivers who looked even faster with their neon-green cleats and shoelaces, then worked on footwork for on-the-run throws to the right. The running backs fought off hard shots with thick, handheld pads after taking handoffs and the linemen pounded the blocking sleds with a familiar clunk-clunk sound from their hit-and-releases.
The entire operation was orchestrated to the second, the scoreboard counting down every three minutes or so to a horn that signifies it's time to switch drills.
After about the fifth toot, a guy in dark sunglasses and a black windbreaker started stalking the sideline, letting everyone know this window into practice was over — right now.
"Time's up — we've got a schedule to keep!" he said. "Gotta go! Gotta go! Gotta go!"
And with that, everyone did, some of them peeking over their shoulders to get one last photo or glimpse of the Ducks in flight.

Exhibiting the same kind of frenetic pace it plays with in games, Oregon (12-0) went through its second spirited practice at a north Phoenix high school on Tuesday in preparation for the BCS national title game.
About 20 miles away, Auburn (13-0) held its first practice in the desert without the soundtrack, but with similar intensity.
The Tigers were greeted by a large contingent of fans after arriving Monday night and appeared focused and relaxed as they finished up practice on Tuesday.

Disney Parks Builds A Giant Ice Castle In Times Square To Announce "Limited Time Magic" For 20113

Disney Parks unveiled a 25-foot-tall, 45,000-pound castle made of ice as the sun rose Oct, 17, 2012 over Times Square in New York City. The icy structure was unveiled during the Disney Parks announcement of 'Limited Time Magic' that will take place throughout 2013 at Disneyland Resort in California and Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. Next year, each week at the Disney theme parks will be highlighted by a different surprise or guest enhancement for a one-week-only engagement. Each weekly surprise, many never-before-seen in the Disney Parks, will include entertainment, dining, character experiences and more. Each one will disappear after seven days and make way for the next week's Limited Time Magic experience. Combined with the heat of the morning and early-afternoon sun, the ice castle in Times Square -- which took more than 12 hours to construct and craft -- demonstrates the short-lived nature of Disney's Limited Time Magic.

Review of the internal market legislation for industrial products Gepubliceerd op: 22/01/2013, Laatste bijwerking: 22/08/2013
- Uiterste datum:
- 17/04/2013.
Following the 2012 Communication on a new industrial policy, the Commission is taking a fresh look at the single market for products, which makes up 75% of intra-EU trade. As we advance in the 21st century can we really say that the internal market for all industrial products, i.e. manufactured non-food products, is delivering its full potential?
2012 marked the 20th anniversary of the internal market established with the primary aim of achieving social progress for all EU citizens.
The internal market for products is one of the success stories not only of the internal market policy itself but of the European Union in general. A common set of EU rules governs some 75% of products allowing them to circulate freely across the EU once compliant with these rules. In the case of absence of EU legislation, then the 'mutual recognition' principle applies i.e. products lawfully marketed in one Member State can be marketed in another Member State without satisfying additional requirements, even if the legislative requirements of the country of destination are different or even more stringent than those of the country where the products have first been marketed.
It is thus generally perceived that all technical and legal barriers in the internal market for products have been eliminated. Indeed, the internal market for food and agricultural products has been fundamentally reformed during recent years and with the new Toys Directive and the forthcoming proposal for a General Product Safety Regulation a new wind will blow through the consumer product market within the EU.
But can we really say that the internal market for all industrial products, i.e. manufactured non-food products, is completed? Are the rules still coherent and effective? Are our rules and structures properly adapted to the single market for products of the 21st century and to the needs of European industry, consumers and other stakeholders?
Against this background, the European Commission in its Work Programme for 2013, committed to deliver a strategic initiative updating and simplifying the rules for the circulation of products in the single market, and identify gaps still blocking free circulation. The objective of this initiative is to enhance the quality and efficiency of the internal market legislation for industrial products. It will address the elimination of remaining trade barriers, in particular for products with high-growth potential, ensure more consistency in the application of the legislation, and simplify its management and implementation.
This public consultation constitutes the first step in the process.
Firstly, and in line with the Commission's Work Programme, the public consultation explores issues related to the identification and elimination of remaining barriers to the internal market for industrial products, in particular for products not subject to Union harmonisation rules. This includes looking at issues such as mutual recognition, but also at different specific products:
In recent years for instance we have seen the development of high-growth / new technology products. For example, Key Enabling Technologies (KETs) such as industrial biotechnology, advanced materials, photonics and advanced manufacturing technologies, micro-/nanoelectronics or nanotechnology provide the technology bricks that enable a wide range of innovative product applications, including those required to address societal challenges.
Another innovative technology is 3-D printing which might lead to profound changes in how manufacturing is organised. How is the current legislative framework interacting with these types of innovations?
The markets for sustainable and environment friendly products are rapidly growing and it is necessary to explore whether Member States or even private sector requirements do not constitute a barrier to the free movement of these products. Such specific requirements might also present the risk of imposing parallel regulatory burdens on business on top of the general product legislation.
Also needs investigation whether the increasingly blurred distinction between products and services and whether the fact that some business models are now built upon the selling of a product along with its accompanying service, create a barrier to the free movement of products.
Second, the consultation aims at identifying specific problems associated with the bulk of harmonisation legislation for industrial products and its application as well as the potential for simplification. These issues relate for instance to CE marking and conformity assessment.
This public consultation will contribute to the reflection on the above issues by addressing a wide stakeholder audience.
This consultation is available in other languages.

Against the Yankees in a critical at-bat, Jones struck out, but you could see him trying too hard to come through for the team, he just was not used to that type of in game situation and it showed in his approach. Well last night he needed to hit a homerun to tie the game with two outs in the top of the 9th, and Adam once again was showing you the effort you want to see. This time, he connected and drilled a shot to center field. It was a moment of growth, potentially of leadership, it was great to see, and a something we should expect from our #4 hitter, by coming through in the clutch. I was happy for him.
The bad news is Adam should have been signed to an extension before the season began. My opinion was Adam should have been looked upon with Matt Wieters (who also did well offensively last night), to lead this club for the next 5 years offensively. Some will argue he is not a true centerfielder, but so what? Once the albatross of Markakis' contract is done in two years he could have been shifted to right field. You would end up paying a little more because of it, but its not like the team is saddled with many long term deals. Maybe the Orioles will surprise and get it done.

Rita Ora and Cara Delevingne at the British Fashion Awards.
Photo: Getty Images
When two of the fastest rising stars in the game become BFFs, you know immediately this is not going to be your average friendship. There's no doubt that Rita Ora and Cara Delevingne share the same undeniable connection as we all do with our girlfriends, but throw that crackling, bubbly, hard to define "It" quality into the mix? We're talking parties with Rihanna, hangouts with Iggy, and luckily for the rest of us, they document every bonding sesh on Instagram (thanks, y'all!) so we can live vicariously through them. The model and pop singer first linked up at a music festival last summer and have been inseparable ever since, supporting each other at Fashion Week, backstage at concerts, and popping up at birthdays. They're not slowing down career-wise anytime soon, either— Cara's reportedly the new face of YSL Cosmetics and Rita's prepping for her U.S. album release.
Recently these two ingenues sealed their famous friendship in the only way they knew how...by simultaneously tweeting a photo of their very first magazine photoshoot together by Rankin. So until we get more details and can finally see the spread ourselves, there's no better time for a trip down Cara and Rita memory lane. LET'S DO THIS.

The Last New Yorker
Lifelong friends Lenny Sugarman and Ruben Liebner, both in their 70s, both dyed-in-the-wool New Yorkers, barely recognize the Manhattan of their youth. The city they've loved for decades has become a playground for the too-rich; their places, the ones they've frequented for years, are now refuges from a changing world they're increasingly unable to keep up with. When Lenny -- a lone schemer all his life -- finally gets in over his head, he decides to seek the one thing he's never had: true love. But to achieve it, he may have to abandon the only place he's ever known.

The Cry
1957. Italy. Michelangelo Antonioni. 116 min.
Thursday, May 9, 2013, 1:30 p.m.
Theater 2 (The Roy and Niuta Titus Theater 2), T2
The Cry
1957. Italy. Directed by Michelangelo Antonioni. With Steve Cochran, Alida Valli, Betsy Blair, Dorian Gray. Although he had already made several features and shorts, Il Grido, which focuses on the alienation and despair of a desolate and unforgiving modernity, defined Antonioni's future career. Using mostly non-Italian actors in key roles, he staked his claim to a univeralism that eluded Fellini and De Sica, and his austere style essentially rejected the classicism to which Rossellini and Visconti aspired. In effect, Antonioni moved the cinema in a new direction. In Italian; English subtitles. 116 min.

Massachusetts General Hospital is partnering with the American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons, and Coaches vs. Cancer to promote screening and treatment for colorectal cancer.
Mass General and NCAA coaches promote colorectal cancer screening
The Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center is partnering with the American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons (ASCRS) and Coaches vs. Cancer to promote screening and testing during Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month in March.
Produced by CBS HealthWatch, the Public Service Announcements (PSAs) stress the importance of testing and working with your doctors on a treatment plan. Colorectal Cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer death in the United States, and often has no symptoms, which makes cancer screening even more important for people over 50 years old.
Mass General Cancer Center and Digestive Healthcare Center doctors James Cusack Jr., MD, and Patricia Sylla, MD, are joined by Coach Norm Stewart, founder of Coaches vs. Cancer, and NCAA coaches Oliver Purnell (DePaul University), Seth Greenberg (Virginia Tech), Gary Williams (University of Maryland), Jim Boeheim (Syracuse University) and Bo Ryan (University of Wisconsin).

- How to Read a Study Record
- Muscular dystrophy can affect the muscles used for heart function and breathing. Treatment usually involves drugs that help improve heart function. However, better types of heart imaging studies are needed to improve treatment of heart problems related to muscular dystrophy. Better heart imaging methods are especially needed for children with muscular dystrophy. Researchers want to test different heart imaging methods in children with muscular dystrophy. They will look at cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and standard heart function tests.
- To develop and test new methods for imaging the heart in children with muscular dystrophy.
- Children and adolescents between 8 and 17 years of age who have muscular dystrophy.
- Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history.
- Participants will provide a blood sample at the start of the study. They will also have heart function tests before having the imaging study.
- Participants will have a cardiac MRI scan that will last up to 60 minutes. Some tests will require a MRI contrast agent (a drug that helps the image appear more clearly on the scan).

|Time Perspective: Prospective
|Official Title:
|A Pilot Study of Cardiac Magnetic Resonance in Patients With Muscular Dystrophy
- Evaluate CMR measures in muscular dystrophy patients
- Early Detection
- Measurement of Disease Progression
- Ultimate identification of the response to developing therapies
|Study Start Date:
|February 2012
Cardiomyopathy causes significant morbidity and mortality in multiple forms of muscular dystrophy affecting children, including Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) and subtypes of autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD2). Pharmaceutical treatments for the cardiomyopathy of muscular dystrophy, including angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition and beta-adrenergic receptor blockade, afford significant benefit and demonstrate cardiac remodeling in clinical studies. Further studies are needed to identify and characterize more sensitive indicators of cardiac dysfunction in muscular dystrophy subjects to better stratify subjects for entry into clinical protocols. Using the framework of the Cooperative International Neuromuscular
Research Group (CINRG) and the Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) consortium, this pilot study will assess cardiac outcome measures in children obtained by gadolinium enhanced cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and echocardiographic methods that can be reliably implemented across a consortium of clinical sites devoted to the study of pharmaceutical treatments for muscular dystrophy. These cardiac MRI scans will be shared with the PITT1109 research protocol in all subjects that are enrolled in both studies.

By By C.J. MCMANUS Sun Advocate reporter
Since opening their doors at Mont Harmon Junior High in August of 2010, the Boys and Girls Club of Carbon County quickly caught hold becoming the area's most popular after-school program. The club now serves more than 100 local students and is expanding to include programs which better the community by educating and entertaining young people from every corner of the area.
"We are very proud of the fact that in under two years we have grown to have more than 100 members," said club executive director McKell Warburton. "That is a great accomplishment for a teen program, and to get that kind of participation on a regular basis is more than I had hoped for."
The club offers a bevy of programs to local youth, including many which focus on character, leadership, education and career development; health and life skills education as well as an introduction to fitness, recreation and the arts.
According to Warburton, community support and assistance from the school district has made a large expansion of programming available.
When school is in session, the club anchors their daily routines around Power Hour. During this time, students are encouraged to work on their homework, receive tutoring or spend time on long term school assignments. To make the program even more valuable, Mont Harmon faculty is available during this time, tutoring and assisting club students.
"The tutoring portion of the Power Hour is a huge asset to the kids," explained Warburton. "So many faculty members make themselves available to the students that many of them are able to get the one-on-one time they need. It's time they would not otherwise get in a regular school setting."
Warburton reported that they start the hour approximately 45 minutes after most students get out of school, giving them some time to "wind down" and let the school day close out. She stressed that while education is a main tenant of the program, making sure the kids have enough fun to want to keep coming back is vital.
Variety is important to the B&G Club and while the Power Hour is a daily time block, the club works to make sure that it is the only program which is ever repeated on a daily basis. According to Warburton, so many different classes and topics are available that it is not difficult to make sure the kids are always excited about what's going on after their work is done.
"I just started with the boys and girls club this year," said Tristan Madsen, a seventh grade student whose older sister got him involved with the program this year. "I like the games room tournaments. They are the best, but I also like a lot of the other activities we do."
According to Madsen, who is a transplant from Sally Mauro Elementary in Helper, coming to the Boys and Girls Club has made the adjustment of moving to a bigger school like Mont Harmon much easier.
During the school year, programming starts at 3 p.m. and continues through 6 p.m. with the district providing transportation to students from Price, Helper, Wellington and East Carbon following the days activities. This transportation ensures that students all over the area are able to participate regardless of their parent's work schedule or transportation situation.
"If it wasn't for the club I would be sitting home in the middle of nowhere bored out of my mind," said Dasia Oviatt, an eighth grade student who had been a part of the club since its inception. "I really love the sporting programs we have and the fact that you can count on the club to be there everyday."
In addition to helping with integration into the junior high and adolescent boredom, the club also provides specific programing which helps students to cope with the many challenges facing today's youth.
The 'Wiseguys' and 'Smart Girls' programs use small, dynamic and age appropriate sessions to teach gender specific material meant to assist students with the personal journey of maturation and growth. The Teen Music Moment Program gives students the chance to showcase their talent, providing the opportunity for club members to perform for their friends.
According to Warburton, Cooking Club was an instant fit for the Carbon County B&G Club, quickly becoming one of the group's most popular activities.
"The kids get hands-on cooking training and we try to show them dishes that they can make when they are left to fend for themselves," she explained. "We also show them the importance of measurements and following directions in the kitchen."
Warburton reported that the class was popular with students from the very beginning, making after school meals something the kids were excited to prepare. Cooking became so popular in fact that the club designed a fundraiser aimed at showcasing the chops of local men. The inaugural 'Real Men Can Cook' event will take place on March 10 at the Price Elks Club, pitting local chef's against one another for bragging rights. It will let the county see once and for all, just who is the best male cook in the area.
"We are looking to make this an annual event," said Warburton. "We have some great contestants lined up so far and we are hoping to get more."
The local cooks will prepare their meals off-site and then bring in bite size tasting portions. Cooks can prepare appetizers, main dishes or desserts. Those interested in attending the event can purchase tickets directly from the Boys and Girls Club.
"We are very happy with the progress of our club," said the director. "The kids have a great time here at Mont Harmon and our Keystone Club at the high school is also doing very well."
According to Warburton, it can be hard to get older students to come back to the junior high, so she has developed a Keystone Club at Carbon High which will soon be starting a reading program at area elementary schools.
"We feel like the club is only going to get better," concluded Warburton. "We have such great kids in this area and with continued community support and participation the Boys and Girls Club is definitely here to stay."

The best way to store potatoes is in a ventilated container in a dry dark place. Avoid storing potatoes with onions since the potatoes readily absorb odors.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley just before serving.
This easy-to-make, low-sodium main dish is a good source of vitamin C from the potatoes.

Easy and delicious! I added a little extra garlic salt and onion powder and a little extra Parmesan and it turned out great! I also cooked my potatoes separately with ranch and they went perfect together.
Good flavor, easy.

ETA: This might seem a MAD suggestion - and I underline is NOT made as a joke - but it seems to me that so many of us have discarded our wedding rings, there MUST be something we can do with them - donate them to a special SI wedding ring repository? For melting/ selling? Set up a ring exchange as an international bonding exercise between survivors of infidelity?
[This message edited by Edie at 7:15 AM, July 5th (Monday)]
Some stuff may be obvious (like a gift basket), while others (like a purse) may not.
That is a good idea...I've updated the descriptions to indicate "New" or "used".
As for the art work, I'm going to assume it wasn't taken of someone's wall and sent to us
If you want to donate something that would be wonderful! This is not exclusive to the US
As for the wedding ring idea...if people want to donate them, we'll leave that up to them
That is a good idea...I've updated the descriptions to indicate "New" or "used".
It's not "used." It's "vintage" or "retro" or "neoclassical."
Oh sorry...i wasn't supposed to joke here, but I'm just sayin'.
We accept the love we think we deserve. "The Perks of Being a Wallflower."
God's hand was an avocado branch
We would certainly welcome any goods you would like to donate...we have lots of parents on the site
We will make sure to update once the reserve price is met
Thank you so much!!

Radiation-induced changes manifested during treatment can theoretically increase the risk of local failure and alter predicted normal tissue toxicity. For this reason, a framework is necessary to assess and potentially intervene in instances of organ movement and deformation. This study assessed the potential benefits of an online and offline adaptive planning system for treatment of patients with head and neck cancer.
Materials and Methods
Author's Conclusions
Clinical/Scientific Implications
This novel online/offline adaptive framework illustrates the dosimetric importance of changes in patient anatomy during treatment. However, although dosimetric gains were achieved, the clinical relevance of these endpoints is unclear. Further study is warranted to evaluate the significance of such dosimetric improvements to justify an approach that is considerably more labor-intensive.

This is the best video we've seen in a long time ... and that's really saying something.
For some reason this random clip from 2008 just started making the rounds today, showing Robert Pattinson and Katy Perry attempting to sing Boyz II Men's "I'll Make Love To You" at Dimple's karaoke bar in Burbank.
The two were reportedly celebrating Shannon Woodward's birthday ... and we're pretty sure neither of them hits a single correct note.
Basically, this video is awesome. Our only complaint: We wish it was longer!
FYI: Katy celebrates her own birthday today. She turns 29.

Left-handed reliever Jerry Blevins won his arbitration hearing with the Nationals and will earn $2.4 million in 2015, according to a person familiar with the situation. The Nationals had submitted a salary figure of $2.2 million for the 31-year-old, who appeared in 64 games last season. He and veteran Matt Thornton are will enter spring training as the go-to lefties in the Nationals' revamped bullpen.
Blevins, who earned $1.675 million last season, became the ninth player the Nationals have taken to arbitration in the franchise's 10 seasons. They have won six of those cases.
It was somewhat surprising that the two sides went to arbitration over $200,000, but the sum is more significant in proportion to the size of Blevins's deal than it would be to, say, Stephen Strasburg's $7.4 million) and gives him a bump heading into his final year before becoming a free agent.
In the 2012 offseason and before, the Nationals often used a "file-and-trial" policy: If they had not settled with a player by the deadline to exchange figures, they would go straight to a hearing, choosing not to negotiate in the interim. It's unclear whether Washington has stuck to this policy over the past three offseasons because all their arbitration-eligible players had settled, though Blevins was the only player not to settle before this year's Jan. 16 deadline, so it would seem the Nationals used that approach on at least a case-by-case basis.
More than 20 players have or will go to arbitration hearings this year. The process is one teams hope to avoid, given that the team is forced to argue against its own player in defense of its own proposed salary figure, which is — of course — lower than the number submitted by the player.
The Nationals had 10 arbitration-eligible players this season, all of whom are now under contract for at least the 2015 season: Blevins, Danny Espinosa, Doug Fister, Kevin Frandsen, Bryce Harper, Jose Lobaton, Wilson Ramos, Craig Stammen, Stephen Strasburg, and Drew Storen.
Blevins, who came to the Nationals in the trade that sent Billy Burns to Oakland last offseason, has pitched in 345 games in his career, tossing to a 3.58 ERA and a WHIP of 1.218. He came on strong last season after early struggles, and by season's end, the 117 lefties he faced had hit .153 against him.

U.S. Naval Academy Inducts Class of 2017
Posted on: June 27, 2013 15:00 EDT by Jessica Clark
For the 1,206 men and women entering the U.S. Naval Academy's Class of 2017, summer break is ending early.
The academy's newest plebes reported to Annapolis for Induction Day June 27 to begin the arduous six-week indoctrination period called Plebe Summer.
"Induction day is a first step … a critical step in the process of re-infusing the U.S. Navy with our very best and brightest," said Cmdr. Valerie Overstreet, Plebe Summer officer-in-charge. "Starting today, we make these individuals part of the team where we infuse dignity, respect and honor into everything they do. It is a special day for USNA."
More than 17,600 students applied for this opportunity. The new class includes 18 international students from 17 different countries, including Cambodia, a first for the academy. There are now 59 international students across all four classes, the most the academy has had at one time.
A third of the students come from minority backgrounds, and 23 percent are women. Sixty-three students in the Class of 2017 formerly served as enlisted sailors and Marines.
Among the academy's newest plebs is Charlotte Asdal, one of four sisters who have now attended the Naval Academy. Asdal is preceded by her sisters Ashley (USNA '09), Lindsey (USNA '10), and Kirsten who graduated this year.
It's a day marked by family traditions. The grandson of former Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Frank Kelso also joined the Class of 2017.
During Induction Day, or I-Day, the incoming plebes receive uniforms and military haircuts, undergo medical evaluations, learn to render a salute and complete their registration.
They each receive a copy of "Reef Points," a 309-page handbook of information about the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps, the Naval Academy's history and traditions, their administrative chain of command, and the general orders of a sentry. New midshipmen are required to memorize virtually all of the facts that are outlined in the book.
I-Day concludes when the midshipmen take the oath of office in front of their family, friends and new classmates during a ceremony in Tecumseh Court at 6 p.m. After the ceremony, plebes say goodbye to their families who will not see them again until Plebe Parents Weekend, Aug. 8-11.
With the conclusion of I-Day, Plebe Summer officially begins. During this time, plebes start each day at dawn with mandatory physical training. The remainder of each day is packed with drills and instruction on the military lifestyle and more physical training. The plebes are allotted minimal leisure time.
During Plebe Summer, the plebes are led and trained by upperclass midshipmen. Instruction includes seamanship, boat handling, navigation and small arms training. This indoctrination period is designed to help plebes develop discipline, honor, character, self-reliance and organization, providing them with the foundation to become midshipmen and successful military leaders.

My dog Threw up
By hadj
from ny
I use digestive enzymes in his food as a powder. I accidently ordered this and figured it would be a good addition to his diet. He has never had any stomach issues in 15 years. I was alarmed at the size of the capsule and had trouble giving it to him by mouth so I had to add it to his food He ate around it until the end. By then the capsule had melted however he ate it and threw it up, food and all. Waste of money for me but it may be OK for someone who can administer large capsules to their dog by mouth.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Gelatin Capsules FOOD ALLERGIES
By AB
from Florida
About Me Professional Pet Trainer
Probiotics were advertised as microcrystalline cellulose capsule. They are actually beef gelatin/an ALLERGEN. If your pet has FOOD ALLERGIES beware. The 1st ingredient is gelatin (beef) last is the microcrystalline cellulose. Sales people were not aware of this and the website also did not disclose this. Even emailed the sales/service department and called, they both claimed no gelatin. Love what the company is doing for the environment, and love the eco packaging; but they need to improve their customer service and educate their employees on product knowledge, as well as update their website so it is accurate. Keep trying guys!
larger than life
By Louigi
from san mateo
I ordered these as an option to another manufacturer which I have used for a long time. Because they are so big and required cutting the dosage in 1/2, per instructions, I have actually ordered my older meds and am saving the capsules to fill to see how these work out. Measure a small dosage is a pain.
Great for whatever

Has been VERY helpful in stopping flatulence with my dog. I use 2 pills a day with dry food and 4 daily when I give them dry & wet food together.

One of my dogs had regular bouts of diarrhea. I started her on this product, one per day, and we have not had any problems since. I now give it to all of my dogs daily.
2nd bottle and still no major improvemen
By mltcal
from Hayward, CA
My cat was suffering from chronic diarrhea. I am on my second bottle of this and am not seeing any major improvement. I have seen some minor improvement in the frequency. I have decided to give Vital Digest a try. At this point I would not recommend but may update this review later.

I would definitely buy this again
By Dee
from Bedminster, PA
I use this product for my 2 young cats that are chronically ill with IBS and get frequent bouts of pancreatitis and hepatitis. Since I began using the probiotics daily twice a day for my cats, they have had fewer episodes of the above. I just mix it in their wet canned food once in the am & once in the pm and the cats eat it right up without any problem. I will always use this product.

This was awful myw dogs got worse gas then they had and now that I stopped giving it them they don't have gas at all must have been very rough on their intestines
Merchant response: Perhaps the intial dose was too high= makes them gassey. Or they were detoxing...back off on the dose a bit and keep trying.

Will cartoons ever live in peace with man? Animation is the most degraded art form in history, a miracle of filmmaking which has lived in the entertainment ghetto so long that the Japanese surpassed America's product output years ago. On native soil, cartoons either shuck and jive for the kiddies in movie theaters or prattle listlessly for jaded ironic young adults on late night TV. The stigma of cartoon characters as harmless subhumans who can only entertain is an old one, while the alluring stench of danger that wafts around "cartoons for adults" was more recently spewed by the resurgence of animation at the dawn of the 90s, embodied by The Simpsons and The Ren and Stimpy Show. This episode of An Alan Smithee Podcast dives headfirst into the silent cold war of animation's struggle for legitimacy with two films that straddled the line between animated and live-action entertainment, with varying results.
The use of cartoons as a metaphor for black entertainers marginalized within mainstream entertainment was extrapolated upon by author Gary K. Wolf in his 1981 novel Who Censored Roger Rabbit? Although cartoons and humans had been matched onscreen before, the movie rights to Wolf's novel represented the bold possibility of a feature length collusion between the two. Robert Zemeckis, in his first of many obsessions with technological animated feats to come, seized upon the opportunity and released the (apparently minimally faithful) film version Who Framed Roger Rabbit in 1988. Roger Rabbit was a bonafide cultural phenomenon at the time, although later films inspired by its technological feats were a lot less artistically compelling.
Who Framed Roger Rabbit was produced by Disney, and as such, although it contains a few cameos from cartoon characters of other studios it rather treats the medium of animation the way the Oscars treats the medium of film – that every contributor to the form has been part of one big happy tapestry and the very idea of itself deserves celebration for all the laughs and tears and tears of laughter we've enjoyed. That, and a horrifically malformed "sexy" cartoon woman named Jessica Rabbit who was probably the biggest factor in Disney taking their name off the opening credits and making it a "Touchstone Pictures" film.
The first and most infamous of Roger Rabbit inspired movies was, ironically, directed by an animator whose name was synonymous with "adult animation" – Ralph Bakshi, director of the first X-rated animated movie Fritz the Cat and other transgressive animated features in the 1970s. Just before Roger Rabbit he had given future Ren & Stimpy creator John Kricfalusi ("John K") his big break on the animated TV series The New Adventures of Mighty Mouse and with the recent renewal of mainstream interest in animation, the opportunity to return to feature filmmaking seemed like a great idea. Bakshi pitched Cool World to Paramount Pictures as the story of a cartoonist who enters a cartoon world and has sex with a cartoon girl, resulting in a half-cartoon half-human daughter who vengefully seeks him out in the real world to kill him – a horror film.
That was what was meant to be, until the Bakshi showed up on the first day of shooting to be handed a completely rewritten script in which there were now two human leads in the cartoon world, and rather than any horrific half-breed cartoon/human child, the plot now concerned the cartoon girl's efforts to become human by sleeping with her cartoonist creator.
The resulting film is a giant disaster in which the convoluted metaphysical logistics are seemingly being written by the screenwriters minutes before the scenes are filmed, with hacky genre dialogue being peppered atop everything to explain the randomness – like the cartoon girl Holli Would referring to her human cartoonist's visitation as "just a mindslip." There's also head-slappingly cheesy lines which contradict whatever internal logic the writers were pretending to create, like when a cartoon person says "I don't give a doodle" despite the fact that the cartoon denizens of "Cool World" refer to themselves as "Doodles" and nobody goes around saying we don't "give a human." And that's even before you can begin analyzing the wretchedness of a Kim Basinger performance.
The concept of a movie revolving entirely around having sex with cartoons is tailor made for 13 year olds (the oldest children who could see Cool World unaccompanied by parents) but the concept was much better delivered in the Fred Olen Ray joint from the same year, Evil Toons.
All this, plus digs at Steven Spielberg, TV cartoon writers and a rare kind word for Roger Ebert in this episode of An Alan Smithee Podcast!

A beauty of a shoe that solves the mesh upper durability limitations of the Terroc 330, but not the lug-popping-off durability limitations of the soles. Of all of the Inov8 shoes, these are my favorite trail shoes, and the ones that I'm consistently getting 300+ miles out of.
These are the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn, and the only brand that has pulled me away from Montrail in the last 8 years. But, having grown accustomed to the durability of the Montrail Hardrock and Masai, the Roclites are a compromise. The tread on the inner and outer edges of both heels began to delaminate within the first month, tho are still usable after 3 months (moderate daily use + maybe 8 weekenders). The stiffness of the Hardrocks bothers me now, more than I thought it would. If Inov-8 improves the durability of the outsole a bit, then I've found my ideal thru-hiking shoe.
Rating: 5 / 5
I totally agree with Ryan and Jason. I have been trail running and hiking in running shoes for almost 35 years and the 315's are my all time favorites. I run the hard pack in UT and the rocky, rooty trails in New England. The combination of all purpose, all terrain sole grip and an upper and heel construction which really supports and stays appropriately snug make this shoe a masterpiece of overall design. The 310's were great but 315 are a distinct upgrade in fit and durablility. Of course they are amazingly light for all that support. I have also taken to running the roads in the 315 and find them outstanding there too. I just got a pair of f-lite 300's which have a less pronounced sole pattern and will use these as my road and hard pack shoes. At about 300 miles of mixed terrain: road and trail the midsole heel is canting/compressed a bit to the inside on one shoe but this is normal for me and showed up far later than in other shoes. More complete review of 315 at my blog http://samwinebaum.blogspot.com/
Edited by samwine on 01/29/2007 08:27:29 MST.
I just returned from a multi day hike which involved stream crossings, trekking through 2 foot deep snow, and picking my way over heavy duty rock fields. These shoes were comfortable throughout the hike, handled all the situations well, and dried extremely quickly...I'm even blister free. Best shoes out of the box I've worn so far. Ordered 1/2 suze larger than my street shoes, but the same size as all my running and trail shoes.
Edited by Quoddy on 05/09/2007 09:37:07 MDT.
This was my first trip with light running shoes. I did a 5 day trip on the Minong Trail on Isle Royale starting out with a29# 7oz load. They handled wet weather, rocky ridges, and the load with no problems. The Roclite 315's are the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn. After having water running out of the sides one morning they were dry about 3 hours after the trail dried out. I am a convert.
I found these shoes online for 75 bucks, and after seeing all of the praise online for the Inov-8 line of shoes, I decided to give them a shot. Best decision I've made in awhile. Previously my favorite shoes were Montrail Diez Vistas, which they have stopped making. So after being very disappointed with some North Face trail runners I bought these, and the comfort out of the box was incredible. Fits snug all around my foot without cramming my toes in the front, and walking almost seems easier with these shoes on. The tread is very impressive as I motored right up mountains here in Arizona, which is like walking on golfballs all day long. I was surprised at the durability so far for such a light shoe, hopefully the desert won't take it's toll for many hikes to come
I wear size 14, 14 wide if I can find it. I'm not sure why I've got these giant dogs but whenever my Mom and I see Bigfoot on the old Discovery channel she gets a far away look in her eye. So, obviously I'm obsessed with finding ul shoes. Size 14 shoes can weigh up to a pound over advertised weight, usually for size 9, add that to the adage one pound on your feet equals three on your back and you can see why shoe weight keeps me up at night. These shoes are champs, I would pass out a 5 rating but I got some rubbing on the ball of my foot during an epic down hill in the smokies, no blister but the moleskin had to make an apperance. As for durability I've put around 200 miles on 'em so far and they're still looking pretty spiffy. They clean up easy, dry fast, and with a little Arm and Hammer they don't smell like gym class. I've worn them with loads up to twenty pounds and I haven't turned an ankle yet (knock on carbon fiber). With no insoles you can feel the trail and thats a bonus when navigating my giant sasquatch feet through the roots and wet granite of the blue ridge.
Edited by kilgoretrout2317 on 11/29/2008 11:27:16 MST.
Just like the others reported .. these are GREAT shoes. Not a single blister after doing 80+ miles in bad weather. I think the key to these shoes is the breathability and flexablity that allows then to form fit to your feet.Buying another pair now that I have tested them out !!!Make sure and use a good footbed with these.
I have tried 4 pairs of Inov8's over the course of the last year (I live close to their distro center) and I think from now on these are the only ones I need. While each pair has been great, these have easily become the goto shoe for just about everything I do, including road running stangely enough. The Flyroc's were great but they rose up too high on my ankle bone and the wider platform while great on technical terrain also limited their feel of agility. The Roclite 295's were awesome as well but the Sticky rubber sole wore down after 170 miles of hard use (I am 6'4" 195lbs). Lastly the F-Lite 300s have the same upper construction as these shoes but their intended purpose limits their versatility. In the end each user's results will differ depending on their foot type, usage and local terrain, but the 315's have become my new Montrail Vitesse's.

Being someone that has had knee issues in the past and hearing from one of my friends (also a BPL member) about these minimalist shoes and the theory behind them I was a little skepticle. I bought them over a year ago and was excited to have recieved them and quickly put them on my feet for wearing around the house. They felt like slippers on my feet. Light weight and comfortable. After a years use of trail running/backpacking through all types of terrain/mud/rivers I can say with confidence that these are the best shoes that I have used. My knee pain has gone away and my confidence when hitting the trail has gone up. These shoes allow me to feel the trail beneath my feet and adjust my footing based on that. I have never gotten even a hint of a blister from these shoes. I will be buying a new pair of the RocLite 315s very soon and this will be the first time I have ever bought the same shoe twice.
I did lots of research to replace my 30 year old heavy leather boots. I tried many different boots at REI before I ordered these and have found my hiking shoe. I went one size up from my street shoes. I have waded through a streams a few times and they dry out very well. I use Smart Wool or Icebreaker light hiking socks with these Roclites. I also purchased a backup pair.
