Andro400 Review
Testosterone boosters have taken the supplement world by storm with their fast and powerful results that generally come without side effects.
With more testosterone, men are better able to lose weight, experience sexual vigor, and regain the strength and endurance of their youth. Needless to say, many companies have tried to encapsulate that vitality in a capsule, and Andro400 is among the most talked-about supplements on the market right now.
Andro400 is advertised as a testosterone booster that will reduce belly fat, increase energy and enhance sexual performance.
Whether or not Andro400 works depends entirely on the ingredients it uses and how much of each of those ingredients in included in the supplement's formula. Top-rated testosterone supplements usually use clinically-proven ingredients in their clinically-proven doses. A great example is Syntheroid, and you can read the review for that product here.
For now, though, let's take a look at the formula of Andro400 and see just how effective it is.
What's in Andro 400?
Andro400 contains just one ingredient—Eurycoma Longifolia. With 300mg in each capsule, and two capsules recommended per serving, you'll get about 600mg of this herbal extract every day to help boost your testosterone levels.
Generally, we like simplistic formulas; they contain enough of proven ingredients to have positive effects without causing too many adverse side effects or crowding out lesser ingredients.
However, when a supplement contains just one active ingredient, it makes us wonder. Nevertheless, let's do a thorough examination of Andro400's sole ingredient.
What is Eurycoma Longifolia?
For their one ingredient, Andro400 makers have chosen a good one.
Eurycoma Longifolia is a flowering plant primarily native to Indonesia and Malaysia that is sometimes known as Long Jack root or Tonkat Ali. It's been used for centuries for its sexual enhancement properties, and works by inhibiting the sex-hormone binder globulin. This will allow your naturally -produced testosterone to flow throughout your body freely, without being converted to estrogen.
Studies in Malaysia conducted on lab rats led many men to use it for increased virility and sexual prowess. Other studies indicate the benefits are a result of increased testosterone production.
Additional benefits include increased lean body mass and an increased ability to burn fat as a result of increased testosterone. At higher doses, the benefits have shown to be more pronounced, but WebMD states that as of yet, there is not enough information to give a recommended dose for effectiveness.
Will the Ingredients be Effective?
Manufacturers of Andro400 are betting the farm on the fact that Eurycoma Longifolia will be strong enough to work on its own to both promote testosterone production and keep it from being bound to globulin.
And, since there is no scientific evidence to solidly support a certain dosage of this herb, Andro400 is based on an insecure dosage as well.
Nevertheless, Eurycoma Longifolia is considered a fairly solid ingredient in terms of testosterone and is among the more popular ingredients found in many testosterone supplements. Its estrogen-inhibiting properties can prevent abdominal fat, and can even help to reverse these effects. It's just not enough to base an entire supplement from, especially in the absence of other, more proven ingredients.
How Do I Use Andro400?
One bottle of Andro400 contains 60 capsules that are meant to be taken two at a time, once a day, for a total lifespan of one month. Because there are no stimulants in Andro400, it can be taken at any time in the day that is the most convenient for you.
However, because we don't know an exact amount of Eurycoma Longifolia that is needed to trigger testosterone production, Andro400 will likely require some experimentation. If you are only suffering from a moderate testosterone deficiency, one capsule might be enough for you; if you have extremely low T-levels, however, you may need more.
We recommend starting out with the recommended dosage and adjusting accordingly.
What is Ordering Andro400 Like?
The official website for Andro400 is the only place you can purchase the supplement. You can sign up for a monthly delivery plan that costs $29.95 per bottle every month and it's automatically shipped to you and charges your credit card, or you can just purchase a single bottle for $39.99.
This is a decent price for a T-booster, but remember that you're only getting one ingredient.
We would also warn against auto-ship program as they are often difficult to cancel, and since you can only cancel your Andro400 order through an email request, there is no likelihood that your request will be received before your credit card is charged.
Is the Company Behind Andro400 Trustworthy?
Andro400 is produced by a company called Natural Health Solutions, which is based out of Ventura, California. It does not have a Better Business Bureau rating, and seems to produce no other products. A Google Map search of the listed address revealed a series of closed strip malls, however, they may have gone into business after the imaging was taken.
Any company without a firm reputation makes us nervous. However, they are available to contact by phone or by email through their website if you have any questions.
Final Thoughts
Think about it: what is the point of purchasing a product that only contains one ingredient, especially when that ingredient is found in so many other products? Even if all you're looking for is a single ingredient, take some time to find a more affordable option. They are out there, often available at your local nutrition store.
Because of this and because of the lack of information about the company behind Andro400, we would recommend that you look elsewhere for a positive testosterone booster.
For example if you want a testosterone supplement with several clinically-proven ingredients in powerful doses, we recommend that you try Syntheroid or another testosterone boosting supplement with more than just a single ingredient. Syntheroid comes highly recommended by users and experts, which is why Syntheroid is one of the best-selling supplements available.

Spirometry – Terminology & Definitions
Spirometry is the classic pulmonary function test that measures the volume of air inspired and expired as a function of time. It can monitor quiet breathing and thereby measure tidal volume, and also trace deep inspiration and expirations to give information about vital capacity. Spirometry can also be used to measure forced expiration rates and volumes and to compute FEV1/FVC ratios.
Volume and Capacity Spirogram
These values are measured with a Body Box or Gas Dilution
These values are measured using a mixture of gas containing Carbon Monoxide. The reason that CO is used is that the Hemoglobin in the blood has an affinity 210 X more that it does for O2 or CO2.

A study led by a CHOP neonatologist suggests that tracheostomy is a marker for a risk of adverse developmental outcomes for premature infants with severe lung disease.
While many premature infants must use a mechanical ventilator and extra oxygen for breathing, a minority ultimately undergo tracheostomy, which is the insertion of an artificial airway into the windpipe through a surgical incision to provide safe, long-term ventilation.
Sara B. DeMauro, MD, MSCE, an attending neonatologist and medical director of Neonatal Follow-up Programs at CHOP, and co-investigators looked at a dataset collected at 16 sites from 2001 to 2011 by the NICHD Neonatal Research Network. They identified 304 preterm infants with tracheostomies to include in a retrospective cohort study.
The researchers demonstrated that even when they performed adjusted analyses controlling for many of the factors known to be predictive of poor developmental outcomes in preterm infants, those with tracheostomies still had significantly increased odds of adverse outcomes. These outcomes consisted of neurologic impairment, developmental delay, or visual or hearing impairment.
"This study is an important first step in understanding what the range of outcomes for these children tends to be," Dr. DeMauro said. "When these data are combined with a child's individual clinical situation and any additional risk factors for poor outcomes, it allows you to make a much more informed decision about whether a tracheostomy is a good choice."
Dr. DeMauro pointed out that this study does not indicate that tracheostomy causes these developmental problems. Further data also is needed on the outcomes of tracheostomy in preterm infants who have lung disease compared to those who also have airway disease.
The study appeared in the Journal of Pediatrics, and received support from the National Institutes of Health and the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development for the Neonatal Research Network.

IUCN as a knowledge-based convening organization, convened an Independent Scientific Review Panel (ISRP) of Western Gray Whales and other related key elements of biodiversity in the context of Phase 2 of the Sakhalin - II Project. The Panel held four meetings and then released its final report on 16 February 2005.

IUCN Responds To Panel's Sakhlin Study
March 9, 2005
Sakhalin Island, off the east coast of Russia, contains substantial deposits of oil and gas. The Sakhalin II Phase 2 Project aims to expand production from these deposits, but concerns have been expressed about the risks of the project to the Western Gray Whale. A report assessing these risks has been produced by an Independent Scientific Review Panel convened by the World Conservation Union (IUCN) at the request of the Sakhalin Energy Investment Company Ltd. (SEIC). The Panel was asked to evaluate the science around the conservation of the Western Gray Whale and related biodiversity. It was not asked to develop prescriptive recommendations, but rather to provide an evidence-based analysis and conclusions about the relevant issues. The IUCN Secretariat itself did not express any opinion on the project or the work of the Panel during the review. Now that the Study is available, IUCN has prepared the following response.
IUCN Position Paper
At the request of Sakhalin Energy Investment Limited, IUCN has agreed that the delivery date for the final report of the Independent Scientific Review Panel (ISRP) on the Western Gray Whale (WGW) will be extended to 16th February 2005. This will allow the ISRP to take into consideration a Comparative Environmental Assessment (CEA) being prepared by SEIC as part of the process of evaluating alternative pipeline routes and which is expected to be completed by the end of November. The CEA report is to address the potential environmental impacts of pipeline routing options, including oil spill risk modelling and acoustic modelling. The ISRP's final report will now appear on IUCN's website on 16th February 2005
Background Information
Sakhalin Energy Investment Company Limited (SEIC) is a consortium of companies developing oil and gas reserves in the Sea of Okhotsk off the northeast coast of Sakhalin Island in the Russian Far East. The shareholders in SEIC are:
- Shell Sakhalin Holdings B.V. (Shell) 55% (operator)
- Mitsui Sakhalin Holdings B.V. (Mitsui) 25%
- Diamond Gas Sakhalin, a Mitsubishi company 20%
SEIC is implementing the Sakhalin II Production-Sharing Agreement (PSA), an agreement between the Government of the Russian Federation, the Sakhalin Oblast, and SEIC. Sakhalin II is a phased development project. Phase 1, an oil-only development, went into production in 1999 and produces approximately six months of the year during the ice-free period. Phase 2 is an integrated oil and gas development that will allow year-round oil and gas production, and includes two additional offshore platforms, offshore and onshore pipelines, and onshore processing and exporting facilities. Production from Phase 2 of the Sakhalin II Project is planned to commence in 2007.
The project potentially impacts on the environment, particularly on the Western Gray Whale (WGW) population which was listed by the 2003 IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as Critically Endangered. More information on the Western Gray Whales is available here (pdf). The WGWs are a major concern with marine scientists, environmental organizations, potential lenders and SEIC. It is in response to this widespread concern that IUCN is convening the ISRP.
Objective of the Review
The objective was to establish an independent expert view of the key issues relating to the conservation of WGW population and associated biodiversity in the context of Phase 2 of the Sakhalin – II Project. Further information about the specific objectives, the scope of work, the structure of the Panel, the information and feedback process, participants, and resources are available in the Final ISRP Terms of Reference (pdf). The ISRP Terms of Reference were established by IUCN through a process of engagement with key stakeholders.
Panel Meeting Timeline
The Final report of the panel was completed by 16 February 2004. Important milestones along the path towards this date included:
- 8-10 September, Toronto, Canada - first meeting of the panel
- 4-8 October, Sakhalin Island, Russia - second meeting of the panel
- 6-8 November, Sausalito CA, USA - third meeting of the panel
- 24-31 January, Seattle WA, USA - fourth meeting of the panel
Information and updates reporting progress along this timeline were available throughout the Review.
Panel Composition
Panel was comprised of 14 members selected from among more than 45 internationally renowned experts. It included experts on Gray Whale ecology and behavior, oil spill risk analysis, noise and bio-acoustics, and other pertinent issues. Dr Randall Reeves, Chair of the Cetacean Specialist Group of the IUCN Species Survival Commission, was the Chair of the Panel.

13 NW 6th Ave.
[COMPILATION RELEASE] Portland indie-pop label Tender Loving Empire is what Malcolm Gladwell would refer to as a "connector." They've been around long enough and have relationships with enough people that most artists in town only have two degrees of separation from them, max. That spirit of shared experience is embodied by the label's annual Friends and Friends of Friends compilation, now in its sixth volume. The most recent two-disc set features tracks from bands both closely associated with TLE—Y La Bamba, Typhoon, Radiation City—and those that are more spiritual cousins, such as Wampire, Shy Girls, Lumineers keyboardist Stealth and Argentina's La Perla Irregular. Appropriately, to celebrate its release, the label brings together bands from across the city's musical spectrum, from worldly avant-pop troupe Brainstorm to noisy garage rockers Wooden Indian Burial Ground to electronic producer Philip Grass, who headlines a special "after-party."

State agency overtime hits record $611 million
ALBANY - Overtime earnings at state agencies rose to a record $611 million in 2013, a nearly 16 percent increase compared to 2012, according to a report released by State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli. Overtime increased in 2013 for the third straight year.
"State employees logged 14.8 million overtime hours last year, costing taxpayers a record $611 million. New York's overtime bill is increasing and needs to be reined in,"DiNapoli said. "State agencies should take a hard look at how they are using overtime and for what. To hold the line on state spending, state agencies should double their efforts to reduce this expensive habit."
DiNapoli's report found for the seven-year period ending in 2013, overtime earnings were up by 27.3 percent. Overtime represented 3.9 percent of total payroll in 2013, the highest share in the years analyzed for the report.
Three agencies that operate institutional facilities - the Office of Mental Health (OMH), the Department of Corrections and Community Supervision (DOCCS) and the Office for People with Developmental Disabilities - accounted for 63.5 percent of the overtime hours in 2013. Total overtime hours dropped slightly at all three, compared with 2012. Other agencies paid high hourly rates for overtime, such as the State Police, which spent an average of $74.35 per hour of overtime at a cost of $35 million. DOCCS paid the next highest average of $51.18 per hour of overtime for a total of $160 million.
Meanwhile, DiNapoli's report found the state's agency workforce has declined 10.9 percent, from 180,564 in 2007 to 160,829 last year, excluding the State University of New York and City University of New York.

Mediaweek's John Consoli has a story on how CBS is both growing in the older demographics and the 18-49 demographics versus last season at this juncture. Even granddaddy 60 Minutes had improved its 18-49 rating versus last year at this point in the season. Although almost every show has increased its median age, the reach with younger viewers is also growing.
"We don't necessarily have just an older tent the other networks," said Kelly Kahl, senior executive vp, CBS prime time, "we have a bigger, broader tent. Our schedule is built for the long haul. There are no black-hole nights. And we won't need a home-run type of program to save us like some of the other networks."
While one could argue that Friday night and Saturday night are being sucked into the accretion disk of a large black hole, CBS fares better than the other four major networks on Fridays and even Saturday nights. This past weekend on these lesser-viewed nights on the broadcast nets, CBS still had the most viewers overall and the most 18-49 viewers as well.
Those who claim to have boycotted CBS for canceling their favorite show(s) aren't having much of an impact (ok, any impact at all).
The Mediaweek story points out that NCIS has averaged nearly 6 million more viewers than House on Tuesdays at 8pm.
"We are a little surprised that NCIS has done so well against House," Kahl said. "Overall it is clearly is a more competitive time period this year. It speaks to the strength of this show and procedurals in general."
CBS has been accused by some TV critics for being too heavy into procedurals, but Kahl defends the genre. "Procedurals have been around since the start of television and are its backbone. Plus, all of our procedurals are different, including the three CSIs."

(NaturalNews) One of the most common questions I'm asked today from people who are aware of what's really going on is, "Should I leave the USA to get away from the coming police state?" Three years ago, I would have said YES, but today, after having experienced such an effort myself and now having a clear understanding of the ramifications of such an effort, I must urge people to reconsider.

Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon bring The Trip to Latitude
Film and Music Arena sees Q&A with Coogan, Brydon and Curtis
Kai Jones on 15 July 2011
Richard Curtis was speaking to Rob Brydon and Steve Coogan
about their work on the BBC comedy, 'The Trip'. And the Q&A was a continuation of the self-depreciating banter
of the acclaimed series; Brydon playing on his affable reputation, while Coogan teased as
the more successful part of their relationship.
The session took in the making of 'The Trip', the actors' previous film with Michael Winterbottom, 'Cock and Bull Story', 'Alan Partridge' and 'Gavin & Stacey'. With Curtis introducing clips from 'The Trip', Brydon and Coogan attempted to outdo each other with impressions of Roger Moore and Christopher Lee in 'The Man With The Golden Gun'. Before Brydon delivered a hilarious, minimal take on Coogan, his partner said dryly, "Rob does one of me. I've never bothered to learn to do him."

"The Romantic Piano Quintet" Featuring Pianist Cameron Bennett and the Carpe Diem String Quartet
October 3, 2006
Pianist Cameron Bennett will be joined by the Carpe Diem String Quartet in a concert titled "The Romantic Piano Quintet." The concert will feature some of the most beloved and exciting works from the romantic piano quintet repertoire and some wonderful unknown treasures. The program will be presented on Tuesday, October 10th at 8:00 pm in Jemison Auditorium of Sanborn Hall on campus at Ohio Wesleyan University in Delaware, Ohio.
This program will feature John Field's Piano Quintet in A-flat major, Dohnanyi's Piano Quintet in C minor, Op. 1 and Schumann's Piano Quintet in E-flat major, Op. 44. Admission for both concerts is free. Tickets are not required.
Cameron Bennett has had an active and varied career as a performing musician, teacher and administrator, most recently serving as Executive Director of the ProMusica Chamber Orchestra. He is currently Professor of Piano at Ohio Wesleyan University and has performed as soloist and chamber musician throughout the United States, Canada, Russia and the Far East. He is in great demand as a collaborating pianist and his performances have been featured on WOSU-FM in Columbus, and in Taipei, on the Taiwan Television Network.
The Carpe Diem String Quartet is an exciting new group that has captured the imagination of audience and critics alike. The quartet, violinists Charles Wetherbee, Robert Firdman, violist Korine Fujiwara and cellist Wendy Morton, has earned critical acclaim as a premier chamber ensemble with a diverse repertoire and passion for audience engagement. Carpe Diem has embarked on several ambitious projects, including the premiere recording of the complete cycle of quartets by the Russian composer Sergei Taneyev and numerous premiere performances of quartets by some of today's most important and renowned composers.

Emerald ash borer

Emerald ash borer has been found at Mauthe Lake in Fond du Lac County and in Watertown's Riverside Park in Dodge County.
Fond du Lac County has been under quarantine for emerald ash borer since 2008 because of its proximity to infestations in neighboring Washington County. However, this is the first time the treekilling insect pest has been found in Fond du Lac County.
Dodge County will now be quarantined, according to a press release from the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection. Part of Watertown also lies in Jefferson County, which is already under ...

Jones pleaded guilty to several breaches of the SANZAR Code of Conduct after his criticism of referee Matt Goddard during the game at Suncorp Stadium.
SANZAR had recently announced zero tolerance on criticism of referees and indicated Jones faced a hefty fine and/or a suspension from coaching.
However, Willis took into consideration Jones' guilty plea, his undertaking to comply with the SANZAR code of conduct and his agreement to provide a written apology to Goddard when deciding a fine was sufficient punishment.
Jones had stated earlier this week that he was standing behind his statements and called for the referees themselves to be put under the spotlight like coaches and players are after matches.
"All we're asking is for the process to be due, consistent and legal," Jones said.
"Every part of our game is under review. Coaches are under review all the time, players are under review all the time and we must have a forum to review referees as well.
"The only concern I have is doing the right thing by my team. I think I'm doing the right thing by my team and I'll continue to do so.
"I've got a duty as a coach to support my team and ensure that we get a fair go."
The fine is to be paid to a local charity - the Spinal Injuries Association of Queensland - within 28 days.

Christopher Hampton
Thomson on Films: The Oedipal Complexity of Early Psychoanalysis
January 02, 2012
A Dangerous Method is crammed with alarm and peril at the outset. A young, dark-featured woman in white is barely contained in a moving carriage in 1904—she is screaming, heaving, sighing—and she is being taken to a clinic just outside Zurich where she will become the patient of Dr Carl Jung. Outside the smart establishment, on what seems a fine day, she is carried inside still writhing like an eel on a cutting board. She turns out to be Sabina Spielrein, and she is played by Keira Knightley, not an actress who has carried me away in the past.
"turd Pudding"
December 12, 2007
I was quite irritated with the clumsy way Atonement director Joe Wright and screenwriter Christopher Hampton adapted the already problematic conclusion of Ian McEwan's novel. But Matt Zoller Seitz, I think it's fair to say, is furious: Atonement, Joe Wright's version of Ian McEwan's novel, is visually snappy but emotionally inert, and it distorts the novel's much talked-about, already problematic, extra-narrative twist so profoundly that it left me aghast.

Their audio quality is acceptable, if not astonishingly good, and they're comfortable to wear.
Easy to operate, buttons in the right place, really good sound quality. But I think the best feature is the fact that the wire is bendable. If you do it right, it will support and hold the unit in place and stop it from falling off yr ears while you move around. So simple, yet makes a world of difference.
I think they are just plain great for my needs. They are a bit big, but once one have figured out to adjust the neckstrap, they are quite easy to put on and wair. Batterylife is good imho and since I got them for a good price , I am all over satisfied
Exceptionally clear siound and extremely comfortable. These earphones are a pleasure to wear and to listen to the music the way it should be heard. I am also very pleased with the length of time the battery charge lasts

Bill Gephardt, KSL
SANTAQUIN, Utah (KSL) - Imagine being perfectly healthy but having the government declare you dead.
As Leonard Cleveland of Santaquin, Utah discovered, wrongfully being declared dead can create real hardships, often is difficult to fix, and happens more often than expected.
Cleveland looks perfectly healthy but the Social Security Administration apparently thinks he's dead. As a result, he has not received a Social Security payment since June and his credit cards have been affected.
"They won't respect my credit cards," he said. "I can't go buy food. And I don't carry cash with me any more."

ST. PAUL -- Marian Gaborik returns to Minnesota for the second time as a member of the Rangers on Tuesday night when New York faces off with the Wild at Xcel Energy Center.
The worries of Gaborik's current team and his former one are completely different as both teams hurdle down the stretch.
New York enters the day just one point ahead of Pittsburgh in the Atlantic Division and the top spot in the Eastern Conference. The Penguins have gained points in nine of their last 10 games, winning eight of those contests.
"Of course we want to stay there, home-ice advantage is good and you definitely want that during the playoffs," said Rangers forward Brandon Prust. "We're just worrying about ourselves right now, taking this one game at a time and keep getting wins."
Gaborik's return will not be as dramatic as his first one last season, a game where he posted an assist and a minus-2 rating. Time has indeed eased the nerves for Gaborik as he returns to the building where he spent much of the first part of his career. He remains the Wild's all-time leader in goals (219), assists (218), points (437), power-play goals (59), game-winning goals (43) and 30-goal seasons (5).
"It's always special to come to this building," Gaborik said. "The first time, I was a little more nervous. Now, it feels a little different. They have great fans here and it's a special place."
What could be the biggest test for the Rangers is their compete level against a Wild team already eliminated from playoff contention. Prust said the Rangers are prepared to bring their best effort.
"We have to be ready. Sometimes, these are the games that bite you," Prust said. "You take your foot off the gas or something, but there's no room for that anymore. We all know that. And we have to be in playoff mode every game right now."
Tuesday's game also marks a homecoming for three other Rangers who are from the area, including defensemen Ryan McDonagh (St. Paul), Stu Bickel (Chanhassen) and Derek Stepan (St. Paul). All three have played in the building during their college years while McDonagh won a state championship here during his junior year in high school at Cretin-Derham Hall.
Among those in attendance will be McDonagh's high school coach Jim O'Neill and 20 of Stepan's closest family and friends.
Minnesota, meanwhile, is struggling to do much of anything right, having lost two straight road contests over the weekend after winning their final two games of a five-game homestand last week.
While the Rangers battle for the Presidents' Trophy, the Wild are locked in a battle for the second-best odds in the April 10 NHL Draft Lottery, leading Montreal and Edmonton by just a point in the standings.
After playing Buffalo and Washington over the weekend, Minnesota plays four more games this week and seven overall -- all against teams currently in the playoff picture.
"These are important points for them," said Wild coach Mike Yeo. "I don't think we're playing a whole lot of teams right now that aren't saying 'We have to win that game.' I'm pretty sure they're saying that [in the Rangers room] right now."
To steal a win, like they did last week in victories over Vancouver and Calgary, the Wild need to score more goals. At just 2.01 goals per game, Minnesota is dead last in the NHL in total offense. It's 3-0 loss to the Capitals on Sunday marked the fifth time in the last 13 games the team was shutout.
More importantly, but perhaps not surprisingly, the loss mathematically eliminated the Wild from playoff contention. Now, all that's left, is playing for pride.
"It's a personal thing for us," said Wild winger Cal Clutterbuck. "We're not going to go down without a fight. We're not that type of group. We've had some unfortunate circumstances and some things unravel for us. It's disappointing. It's not something we're happy about."
Minnesota also announced veteran center Matt Cullen, who injured his right index finger in Saturday's loss to Buffalo, will undergo season-ending surgery to repair the injury.
Chad Rau, called up in his place, will remain in Minnesota for the rest of the season. Also back in the lineup, although in a backup role, is goaltender Niklas Backstrom. Matt Hackett was sent back to AHL Houston to make room.
Here's the projected lineups for tonight's game:
Dany Heatley - Mikko Koivu - Devin Setoguchi
Cal Clutterbuck - Chad Rau - Erik Christensen
Darroll Powe - Kyle Brodziak - Nick Johnson
Jed Ortmeyer - Warren Peters - Stephane Veilleux
Marco Scandella - Tom Gilbert
Kurtis Foster - Steven Kampfer
Clayton Stoner - Nate Prosser

Carl Hagelin - Brad Richards - Marian Gaborik
Brandon Dubinsky - Derek Stepan - Ryan Callahan

Post-Marathon Recovery Tips
[As featured in the May 2012 OKC Landrunner newsletter]
Being one of those "crazy people who races lots of marathons", I've learned to put everything possible into the recovery process, so I can bounce back for the next marathon. Here are my tricks and tips:
• The #1, most important aspect to post-marathon recovery is to get food and beverages in you within 30 min.. I usually go with a quick and easy Powerbar and then a water bottle full of Emergen-C, an iron supplement, and a B vitamin supplement. Not only is your immune system suppressed post-marathon, but you've spent so much time on your feet that there's a significant amount of footstrike hemolysis (~breakdown of red blood cells).
• If the race has good post-race food, eat it, but if not—seek out some quality protein/food, whether you prefer a hamburger and fries, pizza, and maybe a beer (but not too many!). Definitely get a good meal in you as soon as possible.
• This may sound crazy, but I'm a fan of cooling down post-marathon—any sort of walking (~at the airport) or light running can help keep the 'rigor mortis'-feeling from setting in.
• In the days after a marathon, the priority is fueling and hydration. If you know your "typical weight", you can use this as a benchmark, striving to get back to this weight. I find that re-hydration is the biggest factor for getting the weight back up. As suggested by Leslie Buford, seek out foods and beverages you crave and enjoy—her personal favorite lately is Cadbury Crème Eggs.
• Putting on compression garments post-race can work small miracles for muscle recovery. I picked up some full-length, compression pantyhoses at CVS last year and most recently got a pair of full-length compression tights from my sponsor, 2XU. My biggest "problem areas" tend to be my butt and quads. What's most important is getting "firm compression"—20-30 mmHg of pressure. Whether you want to wear it while running is personal preference and not necessary for any added performance or recovery benefits. There's several companies, 2XU for example, who make all sorts of compression gear. Between socks, tights, and various leg sleeves, all of it is highly helpful.
• Getting a massage within 3-4 days post-marathon is also amazingly helpful for working out the muscle soreness or problem areas.
• You'll likely be very tired for the first few days-week post-marathon. Sleep is when the body rebuilds and repairs itself. The body knows best what it needs to repair the damaged muscles, so nap and sleep as much as it tells you to.
• I previously did an extensive post about NSAIDs/Cox-2 inhibitors/corticosteroids. There have been studies questioning if NSAIDs (aspirin, ibuprophen, etc.) hinder soft tissue and bone recovery after exercise. Before taking any of these medications post marathon, talk to your physician about possible benefits and side effects by using NSAIDs.
• Although I'm not a fan of them and the research generally doesn't support them for enhancing muscle recovery, some people like to take ice baths post-race. They will definitely temporarily help with pain and are a reasonable alternative to taking NSAIDs. If there's a "mechanical component" involved (~ice cupping a sore spot for example), this could help with localized tissue recovery.
• Foam rolling and The Stick are both effective, at-home, self-massage tools for enhancing muscle recovery.
• In terms of when to resume running again, this is highly personal preference. 'Moving' will definitely enhance the recovery, whether walking or cross training. I'm not the average bear, but I like to take 1-2 days completely off (go shopping!), do a few single day runs, and then do a reverse taper. I'll be back to normal training within 2 weeks. Others might take 7-14 days off, or even a whole month off. I think the biggest factors are hormonally and metabolically getting the body back in balance. You really have to tune in to what the body needs– usually fuel, fluids, and sleep. Mentally, emotionally, and physically, the body simply needs time. I find I get "some snap" back in my legs by 10 days, whereas it takes a month+ to feel "fully normal" again.
Conventional advice recommends 1-day-for-every-mile you race to get back to normal. I would say, on the whole, this is true. Certain parts of the body/mind recover faster than others. It also depends on the course and conditions—courses with a lot of camber and downhill can beat you up far worse than those that are gently rolling or flat. I find hot marathons (as long as there is no heat exhaustion) lead to faster recovery than cold and possibly wet marathons. I've run a few slick courses that required longer recovery because of slipping so much.
I believe you can run back-to-back, full-quality marathon performances within 4-6 weeks of each other. If you're a prolific marathoner, as I am—it's actually easier to mentally/physically recover, the more frequently you do it. The marathons end up feeling like long runs. The body "learns" and "remembers"—develops a better/faster ability to buffer soreness and repair/replenish itself afterwards. Mentally/emotionally you prepare yourself to bounce back for the next one. If you're only running 1-3 marathons a year…. well…. it's a big stress when you throw 26.2 hard miles at it, vs. doing it more often.

|FAIRFIELD, Conn. - With 1:47 remaining to play and the score knotted at nine apiece, junior Kyle Herman's (Northport, N.Y.) pass to sophomore Michael Bocklet (Katonah, N.Y.) was deflected by a Marist defender into the goal, giving the 20th-ranked Fairfield University men's lacrosse team its sixth-straight win. The Stags ran their overall record to 8-2 on the season by defeating the Red Foxes, 10-9 on Saturday afternoon at Lessing Field.
Marist (2-5) jumped out to the early lead, getting back-to-back goals in the first four minutes of play from Patrick Van Horne and Mike McGuire but the Stags tied it up off unassisted goals by junior Josh Thornton (St. Charles, Mo.) and freshman Matt Castele (Medina, Ohio). Thornton's goal came with 10:30 remaining in the first period as he drove down the right side, faked out his defender and then ripped a shot over the left shoulder of Red Fox net minder, Stephan Gravino. Just two minutes later, Fairfield found themselves in a man-up situation and Castele wasted no time in capitalizing, scoring just four seconds into the penalty to knot the score at two apiece.
After another Marist goal, the Stags would begin the second period down, 3-2 but Bocklet would score all of his team-leading three goals during a five-minute span in the frame to build a 5-3 Fairfield advantage. Bocklet's first goal would come with 4:48 to play before the half, as he would drive to the net and score the unassisted goal while being pushed to the ground. Less than two minutes later and with the ball in Marist's defensive half of the field, the Stags would force a twenty-second violation and gain possession. Freshman Travis Nelson (Oswego, N.Y.) was awarded the ball and sent a quick pass to Bocklet who converted to give Fairfield its first lead of the game. Bocklet's final score would come with 1:26 to go in the second as he took a pass from freshman Dan Boudreau (Canton, Mass.) and bounced a shot past Gravino.
The Red Foxes climbed back into the contest scoring twice in the first five minutes of the third quarter to even the score at five apiece with 10:15 to play but on the ensuing face-off, freshman Sean Fay (Bethesda, Md.) won the ball, drove the length of the field and tallied his lone goal of the day, giving Fairfield back the lead, 6-5. Herman would then make it a 7-5 game as he sent a shot into the high, left hand corner of the net. Marist's McGuire would close out the scoring in the third stanza, and Van Horne would open the scoring in the fourth to deadlock the game again, 7-7.
Fairfield got goals from Castele and sophomore Greg Downing (Auburn, N.Y.) to build a 9-7 advantage but the Red Foxes answered with two of their own to knot the game for the final time at nine apiece with 3:24 to play.
Following Herman's goal in the final minutes, Marist had one final opportunity to tie the game as Andrew Walsh gained possession and drove into the offensive end but his shot was blocked by a Fairfield defender moments before the clock ran out.
The Stags held the advantage in shots, 48-34 and ground balls, 46-30 while Marist held the slight edge in face-offs, winning 11 of 21 attempts. Sophomore Charles Keinath ( Melville, N.Y.) won 8 of 14 face off attempts for Fairfield.
In goal, sophomore Tim Gazzini (Fayetteville, N.Y.) got his first start of the season and recorded the win, making four saves in just over 40 minutes of play before classmate Michael Kruger (Ellicott City, Md.) came on in relief, making three saves in the finale 19:51 of the game. For the Red Foxes, Gravino put in an outstanding performance, stopping 17 shots.
Fairfield is back in action on Sun., April 17 as they return to Great Western Lacrosse League action, hosting No. 9/11 Nortre Dame on Lessing Field at 1 p.m.

Three artists have used the name Scorn: 1. Electronic / Dub / Experimental outfit fronted by Mick Harris (and from 1992 to 1994, Nik Bullen). Since 1994 Scorn has been the one-man project of former Napalm Death drummer Mick Harris. Musically, much of the output has been minimalist beats with an emphasis on very deep basslines, often resembling dub and trip-hop in structure. Despite these resemblances, Scorn is often associated with industrial and experimental music, and is considered a rare example of a successful industrial/downtempo crossover artist.

Sensitivity of cilia-induced transport to fluid rheology, axoneme structure, and dynein forcing
Sorin Mitran (October 17, 2012)
Please install the Flash Plugin
A fluid-structure interaction model that couples viscoelastic fluid motion induced by collective behavior of cilia to detailed axoneme mechanics is used to investigate bounds on cilia structure and mucus properties that determine effective fluid clearance. Dynein forcing is represented by a stochastic walker model that responds to local ATP concentrations provided by a biochemical network model. Cilium axonemes are modeled by large-deflection finite elements representing microtubules and viscoelastic springs representing connecting elements (nexins, radial spokes). Cilium motion is coupled to a viscoelastic fluid computation that models gel-like behavior of the mucus as well as possible Newtonian behavior of the periciliary fluid layer. Behavior of the viscoelastic fluid is prescribed at a microscopic level to avoid using continuum viscoelastic models of questionable validity. A lattice-based technique based upon a variational formulation of the Fokker-Planck equation is used to describe the viscoelastic fluid dynamics. A lattice Boltzmann method is applied to capture forcing of the viscoelastic mucus layer by concurrent airflow. The overall model exhibits natural formation of metachronal waves due to phase coupling of the dynein motion. Adjoint density analysis and uncertainty quantification techniques are applied to assess the stability of the transport induced by metachronal waves to perturbations in dynein walker rates, axoneme element rigidity, and mucus gel-formation process. The goal is not only to assess the robustness of the metachronal transport process, but also to identify elements within the overall transport mechanism that are most promising targets for pharmaceutical treatment of ciliary dysfunction.

New beauties in Bollywood who have more movies in their kitty
It seems like our young pack of actors definitely have things going their way, if we look at their releases lined up for this year and the next. The young Alia Bhatt made waves with her debut film 'Student of The Year', with a highly vied for banner – Dharma Productions.
With the bar already set high, Alia now has two movies – 'Highway' and 'Two States' – lined up for this year and the next, both with giant production houses.
Huma Qureshi, too, who debuted with 'Gangs of Wasseypur', which won her multiple award nominations, now has a string of movies lined up – 'D-Day', 'Shorts' and 'Dedh Ishqiya'.

John Abraham says his next production "Madras Cafe" is truly the kind of cinema that defines the work he wants to do in the film industry.
Directed by Shoojit Sircar, who also helmed John's production debut "Vicky Donor", the movie is said to be a gritty thriller.
"This would define what I stand for in terms of cinema. I want films that I produce to have credible content and 'Madras Cafe' is that film," John tweeted Thursday.

Movie Review: Bhaag Milkha Bhaag
Bhaag Milkha Bhaag
Cast: Farhan Akhtar, Sonam Kapoor, Dalip Tahil, Prakash Raj, Divya Dutta
Directed by: Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra
Ratings: * * * 1/2
In the past number of times, we have witnessed many biographical films on several personalities. Bhaag Milkha Bhaag is another sports film on the former Indian athlete Milkha Singh. The film has been brought up by the same team (Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra and Prasoon Joshi) who gave Rang De Basanti. Rand De Basanti was also semi-biography of Shaheed Bhagat Singh.
Bhaag Milkha Bhaag follows the story of Milkha Singh (Farhan Akhtar) and his entire journey from his childhood to the success. Milkha Singh loses his family during the riots of Partition which was of course the scariest phase of our country. The last words Milkha's father was "Bhaag Milkha Bhaag". The film is about relations, courage and human spirit. The film also talks about Milkha Singh's never ending love for Nirmal Kaur (Sonam Kapoor).
Director K.V. Anand denies casting Alia Bhatt in his upcoming film
Cinematographer-turned-director K.V. Anand has refuted rumours that he has cast young Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt in his upcoming yet-to-be-titled Tamil film starring Dhanush.
Following a Facebook update from a fake profile under the name of K.V. Anand, it was reported in some section of the media that Alia had been finalised for the project.
Clarifying the news on his Twitter page, Anand posted: "It is not my official (Facebook) page. Fake. I never typed so many words. We are still searching. I will share the news once I confirm someone."

Barack's marriage equality Obama-nation
As an African American reared in the Black Church, I, like so many of my same-gender loving brothers and sisters, am not holding my breath for presidential candidate and U.S. Sen. Barack Obama to come around on the issue of marriage equality for same-sex couples.
Because he stands in solidarity with African-American ministers on the issue, using religion-based bigotry as his weapon of defense.
Although religion came to Obama late in life, and he was reared in a non-religious household, his religious convictions were formed during his 20s in the Black Church while a community organizer working with local churches on the South Side of Chicago.
As a central, powerful and revered institution within the African-American community, the Black Church captivated Obama's attention. He says he came to understand "the power of the African-American religious tradition to spur social change." And how much Obama really covets the power of the Black Church for his own political aggrandizement, rather than for its religion, has raised questions in the minds of many.
For example, MSNBC talk-show host Tucker Carlson suggests Obama's faith is "suddenly conspicuous," saying that Obama has only recently begun addressing his religious background as part of "a very calculated plan on the part of the Democratic Party to win" religious voters in the 2008 presidential race.
If Obama is indeed using religion to win votes, he unfortunately placed himself in a difficult quagmire – not only with LGBTQ voters, but also with religious liberals. He worships in a conservative black church within a liberal denomination.
In July 2005, the UCC General Synod overwhelmingly passed a Resolution of Marriage Equality. But in August 2005, Obama's pastor and inspiration for the title of his recent memoir "The Audacity of Hope," the Rev. Dr. Jeremiah Wright of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, spoke against the Synod's position. "While our denomination grappled with how to address that human problem, the denomination also, at that Synod, voted to ordain a homosexual. Guess which item made the newspapers? Maybe I missed something!"
And in his closing tirades on same-gender loving issues, Wright stated: "Are 44 million Americans with no health care insurance less important than 'gay marriage'? Why aren't Black Christians in an uproar about that? Maybe I am missing something!"
When the article came out in light of the United Church of Christ's stance on ordaining and marrying same-gender loving people, it was disheartening for many of us to know that Pastor Wright broke rank with his liberal denomination to stand in solidarity with a more conservative Black Church position.
So it is also not surprising that in March, when Obama appeared on CNN's "Situation Room" with Wolf Blitzer, he stood where his pastor does on the issue. "Well, I think that marriage has a religious connotation in this society, in our culture, that makes it very difficult to disentangle from the civil aspects of marriage. And as a consequence, it would be extraordinarily difficult and a distraction to try to build a consensus around marriage for gays and lesbians. What we can do is form civil unions that provide all the civil rights that marriage entails to same-sex couples. And that is something that I have consistently been in favor of. And I think that the vast majority of Americans don't want to see gay and lesbian couples discriminated against when it comes to hospital visitation and so on."
Controversy stirred during Holy Week when art student David Cordero at the Art Institute of Chicago created for his senior project a paper mache sculpture of Obama as Jesus that went on display at a downtown gallery.
For some passers-by, Obama's image, standing under a blue neon halo and wearing a robe resembling one worn during Jesus' era, inspired hope. And for these Americans, Obama is a secular messiah who is believed to have come not only to help the Democratic Party reinvent itself, but also rescue a country despised around the world.
But is Barack Obama our present-day Jesus?
For other passers-by, just mentioning Obama and Jesus in the same breath is not only blasphemous, but also an offense to their civil rights. And so, too, many argue it would be an offense for Jesus.
Because Jesus stood with all those relegated to society's margins.
And what would Jesus do on the issue of gay marriage?
The same that he would do on the issue of interracial marriage: Support it.
The debate concerning interracial marriages between African Americans and white Americans ended in 1967 when the U.S. Supreme Court declared anti-miscegenation laws unconstitutional in the case of Loving v. Virginia. Ironically, that decision allowed Obama's parents to legally marry.
Obama should, therefore, understand our issues on marriage equality. But instead, he has opted, like so many religious conservatives, to use religion to justify his discrimination. And that's an abomination.

At foxsports, Ken Rosenthal argues that the Mets should not put Jenrry Mejia in the big leagues right away.
….there is growing sentiment within the Mets' organization that Mejia should make the team as a reliever….
Such insanity is acceptable only when a player is so gifted, he can simply bypass the game's normal ladder of progression. Mejia … actually might be that good.
Rosenthal quotes David Wright, Jason Bay, Alex Cora, K-Rod and Rod Barajas, all of whom have ahem, zero say in whether Mejia breaks camp with the big club, and Dan Warthen who will have some voice.
I'm not sure what's wrong with Parnell and Igarashin in front of Rodriguez at all.
Also, with Reyes and Beltran out to start the season, I view the Mets as longshots now to make the playoffs. Thus, sacrificing any of Mejia's potential development for a present that might not even exist seems to me, to get more foolhardy by the day. I've evolved on this to become more against Mejia breaking camp with the big league team.
All you need to know from that Rosenthal story is this Barajas quote:
He definitely still has some work to do. His secondary pitches – the curveball and changeup – he has struggled with the curveball in camp so far. We've been trying to work on it in games. He just hasn't gotten that feel for it.
"You'd like to get him more seasoning down there, make him use those pitches. I think he could get major-league hitters out on a regular basis. With that fastball, he definitely can have success. But the second and third time he faces clubs, if they can just sit on one pitch, it's going to be tough for him."
So, even Mejia's own catcher thinks he'll have trouble in the big leagues if pushed there already, because as we've repeated over and over again, he doesn't yet have the secondary pitches to really work batters. I think this speaks for itself.
