Doctors say adults need 7.5 -9 hours of sleep a day to function at our best.
Several studies show there are amazing benefits to getting enough sleep that affect every aspect of life and help us live longer. I found this list on better-sleep-better-life .com
Sleep helps to repair your body. Your body produces extra protein molecules while you're sleeping to strengthen your ability to fight infection and stay healthy.
Sleep helps keep your heart healthy. Your cardiovascular system is constantly under pressure and sleep helps to reduce the levels of stress and inflammation in your body.
Sleep reduces stress. A good night's sleep can help lower blood pressure and elevated levels of stress hormones, which are a natural result of today's fast paced lifestyle.
Sleep improves your memory. That 'foggy' feeling that you struggle with when deprived of sleep makes it difficult to concentrate. This often leads to memory problems with facts, faces, lessons, or even conversations. Sleeping well eliminates these difficulties because, as you sleep, your brain is busy organizing and correlating memories. One of the great benefits of sleep is that it allows your brain to better process new experiences and knowledge, increasing your understanding and retention.
Sleep helps control body weight issues. Sleep helps regulate the hormones that affect and control your appetite. Studies have shown that when your body is deprived of sleep, the normal hormone balances are interrupted and your appetite increases. Unfortunately this increase in appetite doesn't lead to a craving for fruits and veggies. Rather, your body longs for foods high in calories, fats, and carbohydrates.
Sleep reduces your chances of diabetes Researchers have shown that lack of sleep may lead to type 2 diabetes by affecting how your body processes glucose, which is the carbohydrate your cells use for fuel.
Sleep reduces the occurrence of mood disorders.With insufficient sleep during the night, many people become agitated or moody the following day. Yet, when limited sleep becomes a chronic issue, studies have shown it can lead to long-term mood disorders such as depression or anxiety.


text: By Russ PankoninThe Imperial Republican Two surface water irrigation districts filed suit in U.S. District Court late last week in an effort to stop four natural resource districts from using augmentation projects for compliance purposes. The Frenchman Cambridge Irrigation District (FCID), headquartered in Cambridge, and the Nebraska Bostwick Irrigation District (NBID), headquartered in Red Cloud, filed the suit. They were joined by three board members of FCID. The suit, which asks for injunctive and declaratory relief, said the projects interfere with stream flow and keep the districts from obtaining the water outlined in contracts with the U.S. government. In addition to the Upper Republican Natural Resources District, the suits also names Gov. Dave Heineman, Department of Natural Resources Director Brain Dunnigan, N-COPRE, which includes four Nebraska NRDs, and five federal agencies and officials. The URNRD is nearing completion of a 10,000 acre-foot augmentation project in southwest Dundy County to aid the district in compact compliance efforts with Kansas. Expansion of the project to 15,000 acre-feet has already been approved by the URNRD board. N-CORPE is an interlocal cooperative formed by the Upper, Middle, Lower Republican NRDs and the Twin Platte NRD. N-CORPE has purchased a large tract of irrigated land in Lincoln County for $83 million, with the purpose of retiring irrigation and use groundwater for compliance purposes. The suit seeks an injunction from the court to stop the use of the augmentation projects. The surface water districts claim the augmentation projects will deprive them of entitled inflows to streams, rivers and federal lakes. In addition, they say the groundwater pumping for these projects will further reduce future stream flows. The two districts are also suing the federal Department of Interior's Bureau of Reclamation and several officials. They claim the Bureau of Reclamation has not protected the surface water the two districts are entitled to under federal contracts.

A teenager faces several charges after lawmen say he was assaulted and then threatened violence at school.
Authorities say the Wayne County Deputy Darryl Powe, the resource officer at Charles B. Aycock High School, received information Thursday that a student had made a threat against other students.
The deputy and school officials attempted to speak to 16-year-old Devon Elder, but they say he became hostile, acted violent and then ran off. Powe followed and took Elder into custody.
Authorities report their investigation revealed that two or three people wearing camoflauge assaulted Elder Tuesday night off campus, in Pikeville. They say after Elder then made the threat "he was going to the school and was going to shoot everyone wearing camouflage on Friday." The alleged threat was posted by other students on their Facebook pages.
The Sheriff's Office reports even though Elder was still locked up, additional deputies were put on duty at the school Friday. They report at no time was the school under lockdown or weapons found at the school.
"In today's world, the school nor law enforcement can afford to not take any threat seriously," said Sheriff Carey Winders. "The Sheriff's Office Support Services Division which includes our School Resource Officers immediately initiated an investigation into this situation. I appreciate their initiative to get to the bottom of this and to take the precautions that they did to ensure everyone's safety."
Elder's is charged with communicating threats, as well as resisting, obstructing and delaying a law enforcement officer and disorderly conduct.

Friday Night
26/02/2011 21:26 by Amsterdamize
It's uneventful and a given, but I share what I enjoy and last night was nice. On our way to a cafe for pre-dinner drinks,
and I cycled along the Amstel River and the mild temperature allowed me to whip out my iPhone to record a little something. With her family back in the US in mind and Amsterdamize, of course.
An hour and a half later we rode on, into De Pijp. A little damp, but a very nice ride. Hardly any car traffic, soothing, adding to an already good mood.
We turned into Albert Cuypstraat (
which during the day has a buzzing market
) and parked right outside Turkish restaurant
Convenient, as it goes in a bicycle-friendly country.

Cincinnati has the third-highest rate of childhood poverty in the country, and The Enquirer's Mark Curnutte tells the story of an East Price Hill family and school system struggling to keep up.
Hamilton County for the fourth straight year dipped into its rainy day fund instead of instituting major cuts or raising taxes.
National non-profit teacher training program Teach For America has offered to work in Cincinnati Public Schools, possibly as early as next year. CPS has yet to commit to the partnership, noting that there are laid-off veteran teachers in the region.
Occupy Cincinnati protesters have asked a judge to throw all charges against them, arguing that the park rules are unconstitutional which means their punishments shouldn't exist. The cases are expected to be delayed until the constitutional argument is figured out.
Two county commissioners say they want to help the county's Job and Family Services agency after an Enquirer analysis detailed massive funding, technology and staffing shortages that might have contributed to the deaths of three toddlers during the last 10 months. Republican Greg Hartmann and Democrat Todd Portune have suggested the agency use money from a reserve set aside for an expected bookkeeping penalty while they vote on a budget that will stay the same as last year.
The Cincinnati Enquirer announced its endorsements over the weekend, and four incumbents were left thinking, "What the [expletive] did I do?!?" The current councilpersons who the paper decided not to endorse are Republican Wayne Lippert, who was appointed in March, and Republicans Leslie Ghiz and Charlie Winburn, along with Democrat Cecil Thomas.
Ghiz was described as having a penchant for starting arguments that have been "personal, petty and nasty," while Winburn's "unpredictable behavior" was noted along with Thomas' problems fully grasping budget and finance issues.
A group working to defeat Issue 48 filed a complaint today against a conservative group with the Ohio Elections Commission.
Cincinnatians for Progress, which is urging a "no" vote on Issue 48, filed the complaint against the Coalition Opposed to Additional Spending and Taxes (COAST). It alleges COAST knowingly and repeatedly has made false statements in its campaign in support of the ballot initiative.
The complaint cites 20 instances in the past two months in which COAST allegedly made false statements in violation of Ohio Revised Code Section 3517.22. Most involve allegations the city has taken funds away from fire services to fund the streetcar project.
Streetcar proponents have spent considerably more on their campaign than the anti-streetcar people, probably because Issue 48 is so wide-reaching it has brought out people concerned with things way more important than the streetcar such as regional planning, commuter rail and making Cincinnati not look like it totally sucks.
Also being outspent are the SB 5 supporters, who have seen support decline dramatically in recent weeks as people look around their neighborhoods and see a bunch of regular people whose rights would be taken away. And Building a Better Ohio does unethical things like this, which makes people think they are meanies.
Here's a blog about City Council candidate Chris Smitherman arguing against all the legal experts who say Issue 48 will block all rail construction through 2020.
City Council conservatives made Mayor Mallory real mad yesterday, blocking his appointment of Councilwoman Laure Quinlivan to the Hamilton County Transportation Improvement District. An initial vote actually allowed the appointment until appointed Republican Councilman Wayne Lippert heard that the other Republicans and Chris Bortz voted against it for various trivial reasons. Lippert asked for a re-vote and swung it the other way.
Mallory reportedly called out the conservatives, referring to them as "extremely unprofessional" and "horribly non-functional." According to The Enquirer, the normally even-tempered Mallory responded to their suggestions that they'd like to see someone else receive the appointment by saying, "that person's not getting appointed" and later adding, "I appoint a lot of people to a lot of things. And this will be remembered."
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney yesterday popped in on a local pro-Issue 2 and Issue 3 call center and then refused to publicly endorse either Republican initiative. "Yes" votes on Issues 2 and 3 would keep Senate Bill 5 and allow Ohioans to opt out of mandatory health care passed by Congress last year, respectively. From CNN:
"I am not speaking about the particular ballot issues," Romney said, only after repeated questions from reporters. "Those are up to the people of Ohio. But I certainly support the efforts of the governor to reign in the scale of government. I am not terribly familiar with the two ballot initiatives. But I am certainly supportive of the Republican Party's efforts here."
Both topics are tricky for the Romney campaign.
He is no stranger to health insurance mandates, having passed one of his own in 2006 while governor of Massachusetts.
Meanwhile, the Republican-backed union legislation remains deeply unpopular in the state, which is all but certain to be a swing state once again in 2012.
Romney also doesn't want to make his tax returns public. Too modest.
Leave it to The Enquirer to publish a story analyzing local school district spending vs. academic success only to ignore the existence of private schools while drawing the conclusion that "a district that spends more doesn't necessarily produce higher test scores and graduation rates." The story, titled "Big-spending districts net mixed academic grades," doesn't include the qualifier "public school" or the possibility that local private schools spend even more per pupil than Indian Hill, Sycamore Township, Mariemont and Norwood, each of which spent $11,958 to $15,209 per student last year and earned Excellent or better ratings.
After three nights of arrests, Occupy Cincinnati protesters Sunday night chose to leave Piatt Park at its 10 p.m. closing time and march on the sidewalks around the park. Eleven members were arrested Saturday night for staying on the square after a rally past the 3 a.m. time allowed by its permit. The group is still waiting for a federal judge to rule on whether or not Piatt Park's 10 p.m. closing time is a violation of the First Amendment.
Chicago Police arrested 130 Occupy Chicago protesters over the weekend, and the group plans to picket Mayor Rahm Emanuel's office in response. Protesters described harsh treatment by police, with some spending more than 24 hours in jail. The picketing at City Hall will reportedly include a nurse's union in response to two nurses and a union organizer being arrested while volunteering at Occupy Chicago.
Cincinnati Police arrested more than 20 Occupy Cincinnati protesters last night. Here's a recap of the events, which notes that a parade to honor local billionaire Carl Lindner was scheduled for this morning.
Here's an impressive collection of reports that back up nearly every grievance articulated in its first official press release. The research was done by a young woman in Boston who runs a Congressional watchdog website called C-SPAN geek. You can follow her on Twitter here.

Constituency Responses
Summary: ACOC wants a revision that addresses all cases of multiple copyright dates, and provides revised text; BL and LC agree; LC provides different revised text. Does ALA agree with the LC revisions?
CCC proposes an additional instruction before the exception, dealing with multiple copyright dates that apply to a single aspect. Does ALA agree?
CILIP prefers an extension of the basic instruction rather than an exception; this is done in the LC wording.
-- John Attig/JSC Rep 2012/10/10
I am eager to see what OLAC/Kelley say about all this.
It seems like LC and CCC are going in opposite directions. I am inclined to agree with making the instruction itself more inclusive rather than making an exception for sound recordings. However, I worry a little bit that LC's proposed wording is vague. Catalogers always appreciate really specific guidance, so if LC's wording is accepted, I guess OLAC and MLA will need to provide guidance to their members on exactly which dates are considered important for identification or selection. Maybe that's OK.
I think CCC is right that we also need a sentence that tells us to record the latest date when multiple dates refer to a single aspect.
It occurs to me that the proposed added example (p2009 c2010) probably needs a little note to clarify that both of these dates refer to the same resource. Something like: Resource described is a CD that bears both a copyright date for the liner notes (c2010) and a phonogram copyright date for the recorded sound (p2009).
Thank you to MBRS for their helpful comments on the Rationale!
Tracey Snyder, MusLA, Oct. 11, 2012
I do not support the ACOC proposed revision. (I don't like requiring recording both types of copyright date -- and they also meant "phonogram" not "phonograph".) LC's proposed wording offers more flexibility in this area.
I like both LC's and CCC's proposed revisions. I'm not sure that they're working at cross purposes. Perhaps they could be combined as follows:
If the resource has multiple copyright dates that apply to various aspects (e.g., text, sound, graphics), record any that are considered important for identification or selection. [from LC's proposal]
If the resource has multiple copyright dates that apply to a single aspect (e.g., text, sound or graphics), record only the latest copyright date. [from CCC's proposal].
- Glennan (PCC), 10/11/12
Currently, this proposal seems to affect primary audio/visual materials, however, as I suspect that as more resources are pulled together using different source materials, each possibly having different associated copyright dates, recording of those different copyright dates will become more important for other resources. So it seems that the larger issue of dealing with multiple copyright dates more effectively than simply stating one should record the latest is the real issue that needs to be addressed. In that light, Glennan's suggestion seems to lead us in the right direction, however, the "optionality" of the first statement gives me pause, but perhaps is the best first step.

Straightening Sheetmetal - Shaping UpWritten on March 20, 2008 A Basic Guide To Straightening Sheetmetal
There's no escaping the fact that if your project is based on an original steel body, at some point you're going to come up against tackling the bodywork, which will more than likely involve some rust repair, or patch panel installation, but will almost certainly require some dent removal.
There are a number of books on the subject and even classes that offer hands-on instruction, and all are useful to a degree, especially when you get the chance to receive one-on-one advice on what you're doing right or wrong in a classroom situation. But all instructors, be they live or in the form of written word, will have their own preferred methods. We recently had the opportunity to attend one of Ken Sakamoto's three-day School of Metalwork classes at Sunchaser Tools (see page 46) in Pasadena, California, that proved both entertaining and educational.
Paint and bodywork are not subjects many rodders feel comfortable with-they're almost as taboo as upholstery or wiring. Why is it many of us are perfectly happy with a wrench in our hands, but swap it for a body hammer or dolly and we're lost? Professional bodywork costs thousands, but it doesn't take long to learn the skills to achieve an acceptable finish without paying professional rates. If you're the type of person who wouldn't balk at fabricating a chassis, and who is at ease with a welder and grinder, you're perfectly capable of tackling bodywork. As for upholstery, well...
Hammers and Dollies
Before you start pounding on metal you'll need to familiarize yourself with your tools. There are numerous dollies available in various shapes and sizes, but a general-purpose dolly, as well as toe and heel dollies, should suffice for beginners. Likewise, a general-purpose pick, or chisel, hammer will get you started. As you become more proficient you may want to expand your arsenal with specific dollies for specific jobs. Try to avoid cheap tools, though, as they are generally manufactured from softer metal, won't last as long, and could even be dangerous.
Something that came as news to us while attending Ken's class was that hammers and especially dollies should be prepared, ground and polished to keep them in prime condition. Ken advised that body hammers should have a slight crown to their face, and that the edges should be beveled. When the hammer face is prepared properly it'll be less apt to leave small divots in the metal.
He also advised grinding general-purpose dollies to achieve a crown, paying attention to remove any high spots on the face. After all, whatever imperfections are on the dolly will transfer to the finished job. Both hammers and dollies should then be faced using a 120-grit flapper wheel followed by a fine deburring wheel on a bench grinder.
Understanding Sheetmetal
We are dealing with damaged-dented, bent, and generally twisted-sheetmetal here, and the first step to repairing damaged sheetmetal is understanding how it moves and stretches, and the necessary steps to return it to its original contour.
A simple small dent on a flat or gently curved panel is the easiest to remove, and as long as the backside of the panel can be accessed, the dent can be erased using a hammer and dolly, hammering from the front side only. With practice, a crease can be removed in the same way.
Sometimes there will be more than one dent and one will affect the ability to pound out the first, holding the metal out of shape. Often with a dent on a curved panel-such as the edge of a roof-when a dent forms, it will spring back slightly, producing ridges on either side of the dent that are higher than the surrounding sheetmetal. These crescent-shaped high spots will restrict the ability to remove the dent unless they are tapped down. They are not stretched areas, so they will tap down easily.
With large dents, it may be necessary to start pounding from the backside using a dolly, often starting at the edges and working toward the center of the dent. This may take some creative use of tools-dollies, spoons, or even prybars-depending on the gauge of the steel and the complexity of the damage, or its location.
Shrinking And Stretching
It is very rare that a hammer and dolly will be all you need to metal-finish a panel. To get it good enough for a skim coat of filler maybe, but not if you want to get it to the stage where it just needs a coat or three of primer before topcoat. For decades bodymen have used body files to finish panels. These are coarse files that look like rasps and remove metal a lot quicker than regular files. But they do remove metal, making the panel thin in places and therefore affecting its strength and structure.
Body files are usually used after another age-old process has been used to straighten or shrink sheetmetal: the oxyacetylene torch. Heating localized areas and then using a hammer and dolly to shrink them is a traditional method, but often requires numerous passes with the torch. It's also time consuming. But it is satisfying once you get the hang of it!
The latest method of heating and shrinking metal is the Shrinking Disk. There are imitators out there, but the original was designed and patented by Ken Sakamoto of Sunchaser Tools. A serrated metal disc, when spun at 5,000 to 6,000 rpm against the sheetmetal, will heat any high spots (though not to red hot as with the torch) without touching the surrounding areas. Cooling the worked area causes the heated high spots to shrink before another pass is made. Once mastered, this method doesn't take long at all before the panel is virtually like new.
Back To School
Ken Sakamoto, with over 30 years of metalworking experience, operates Sunchaser Tools and the Sunchaser School of Metalwork. You'll find hobbyists to experienced bodymen at the three-day classes, though the majority are metalwork novices. The class we took included all ages and skill levels, from Phoenix, Arizona's Billy Branch who was four days away from retirement, to 20-year-old Nikki Taylor, Ken's first female student, who was keen to learn how to repair her own '56 Chevy truck.
The classes start with a basic theory lecture, explaining in simple terms the composition of sheetmetal and why it expands, shrinks, or stretches when hit or heated. The lecture is followed by some simple tool preparation techniques. This is the first time some students have ever used a grinder. Another lecture on correct use of hammers and dollies-how to hold and swing the hammer, which dolly to use, how to raise a dent by hammering from the topside and why it "rises"-follows before students are presented with a 16-inch square piece of sheetmetal and invited to hit it with a ball-peen hammer and bend the corners over. They then learn how to return their panels to as-new condition. The first day ends with Ken demonstrating how to remove large dents from a Model A fender, and how to use his patented Shrinking Disk-or "the big eraser" as he refers to it-to metal-finish the fender to a point where it requires no filler before primer.
This is the tool many students may have previously seen Ken demonstrate at shows, and its promise of metal-finishing bodywork with relative ease is what persuades many to enroll in the class. Having now had the chance to use the disk, I can confirm that it does work! Hammer and dolly work is required to bring the panel up to where most would then add filler, but the disk heats the high spots, which then shrink when cooled with a wet rag. Added bonuses are that no metal is removed and the process is much quicker than the traditional method of using an oxyacetylene torch followed by hammer and dolly work to shrink sheetmetal.
Day two sees some students using the Shrinking Disk to finish their flat practice panels, while others straighten project panels they brought from home. There are additional lectures on more complicated dent removal, such as on compound curved panels, with the third day devoted to the students switching day two's roles, and again more lectures-this time on dolly, spoon, and sanding block selection, plus basic gas welding techniques.
Although Ken is in the business of selling tools, he takes great pains not to give students the "hard sell," though inevitably he will recommend certain tools. The Friction System, for instance, not only includes Ken's self-designed Shrinking Disk, but backing pads, Strip-It discs, and, importantly, an instructional video. Though it is probably most beneficial to novices, the three-day course is bound to teach even the most jaded bodyman something new, and the Shrinking Disk is a worthwhile addition to the toolbox of anyone who would rather not use plastic body filler by the bucket load!

Here's a prepped hammer face, with a slight crown and a radiused edge. The latter prevents dinging the panel if the hammer is brought down at an incorrect angle.The hammers and dollies were then gradually smoothed using flapper wheels ranging from 120-grit to final 320-grit until they almost looked chromed.Cheap dollies will usually be made from softer metal, meaning they will need more prep more often as they mark more easily. Note how the edge of this dolly is "rolling over" from repeated hits on the flat surface (arrowed).Nikki Taylor attacks a practice panel at Sunchaser's School of Metalwork class, honing her hammer and dolly technique.With the dent knocked out from behind using a general-purpose dolly, the high spots were tapped down with a body hammer.The same dent extends into the lip around the lower headlamp. Using a long spoon dolly with a curved end (to match the contour) and a small sledgehammer, the dent was roughed out to the point where it could be shaped from the front side.Use the palm of your hand-not just your fingertips-to gauge your progress. A sanding block will also help with this. Remember to remove any rings or watches while bodyworking.
With a dolly behind the heated area, preferably held in a gloved hand to avoid burns, the area is hammered and shrunk. Usually more than one and often many areas will need to be worked before the panel will be considered straight.Heating sheet steel with an oxyacetylene torch will quickly heat the area to be worked to red hot. The area will also rise as it is heated, and needs to be worked quickly with a hammer and dolly to shrink it.The Shrinking Disk, shown with a well-used one (bottom). Doesn't look as though it'd do much does it?The first practical sheetmetal task for the class is to bend and hammer a flat sheet and then attempt to return it to its original shape. Here, Ken instructs Jose on hammer and dolly technique.We took along a pretty beat up '59 Chevy truck fender we had laying around. Here, the damaged area is ground back to bare metal, sprayed with blue dye and block-sanded to reveal the low spots.
After some hammer and dolly work, followed by more dye and sanding, the damage was reduced to this. This step was repeated once more before firing up the grinder.We were pleased with this result, but Ken said it could be better, and offered to show us just how good the Shrinking Disk could be.

The whole discussion is stupid because none of us really understands exactly what the lab evidence is or how convincing it is. There's a bunch of shouting from each side, but no one who really has any expertise is posting in these threads, so the whole thing is a waste of time.
As is BF in general.

Passing 500 drug tests may convince some people..but Marion Jones passed several dozen, yet later admitted she took PEDs.
If somebody designs PED-dectection-foiling methods that work 40 times straight, they can work 500 times straight, or 498, and you can talk your way out of the 2 test-failures, as anomalies.
How would you beat PED/blood-transfusion tests?
It's not that hard. You use modern biochemistry--the same biochemistry that created EPOGEN--to create antibodies against erythopoeitin, and use bioreactors to generate large amounts. You give EPO-receiving athletes the antibodies, which bind the EPO, and then it gets transported to the lymphatic system, and ends up in the liver. It doesn't pass into the urine.
On blood tests, if you get caught "at the wrong time", the abs block radioimmunoassay or enzyme-linked immunoassay's antibodies from binding EPO, because the EPO binding sites of the test antibodies are blanketed by the athlete/team doctor injected antibodies.
Similarly for testosterone and mimicking drugs. You just give antibodies before the tests are administered.
You could do daily drug testing. Then the administered test-defeating antibodies would work, but also neutralize PED effects, rendering PEDs ineffective.
On "blood doping" it's really easy to beat hematocrit tests. IV infusions of salt solutions, can expand circulatory volume, and reduce hematocrits (concentration of red blood cells per deciliter of blood), to create "legal" hematocrits.
The anti-cheating solution of EPO and blood doping, is to do bone-marrow aspirations and count reticulocytes. Far abnormally high reticulocyte counts = EPO usage, far low reticulocyte counts = blood transfusion, because red blood cell manufacturing slows down if the system measures too many red blood cells.
There are easy methods to measure total red cell mass, if somebody uses red cell dilution to achieve a within-bounds hematocrit. If a rider shows normal-range hematocrit, but far out of range total red cell mass, this can be detected.
Antibodies binding EPO, HGH and testoserone-mimics, can be detected.
With not-daily drug-level testing of blood and urine, which can be defeated, how can testers beat cheaters? Bone marrow taps can show if
Maybe all the testing is performed by gooberment employees, the most incompetent of all the worlds workforces.
The legend of the '500'.
Lance probably only took about 230-250 tests.
Bernhard Kohl in October 2010:In 2009:I was tested 200 times during my career, and 100 times I had drugs in my body, he said, according to the New York Times. I was caught, but 99 other times, I wasnt. Riders think they can get away with doping because most of the time they do. Even if there is a new test for blood doping, Im not even sure it will scare riders into stopping. The problem is just that bad.And also in 2009:"Kohl said that he was not worried about testing positive. Many substances are still undetectable, he noted. And when you have a product in your body that can still be found after eight or nine hours, you close the door, turn off your mobile phone, turn out the lights. And if the doorbell rings, you don't open the door."As he had already confessed earlier, Kohl had two litres of his own blood available for re-injection at the Tour, of which he used 1.5 litres. "Nothing else," he said. "Too many surprise controls. No testosterone patch, nothing, except caffeine, pseudo-ephedrine and some analgesics. EPO, growth hormone, insulin - I took that before [the Tour], not during the race."
The blood transfusions took place in the evenings at the team hotels. Kohl's manager, Stefan Matschiner, flew to France three times during the Tour to meet the cyclist and provide him with a pouch of 0.5 litres of blood. "He sent me an SMS: 'You can come to my room'. I disappeared for 20 minutes, nothing more. Nobody noticed anything," Kohl stated.
The rider continued by saying that the anti-doping controls taking place at 7AM on the mountain stages could be outsmarted. "By re-injecting half a litre of blood, the blood parameters are not subject to suspect variation. My manager also injected me with albumin to dilute my hematocrit. Moreover, I always practiced the transfusions 48 hours before the decisive stages: you're not at the top on the next day, you have to wait two days for the effects to be felt."
The International Cycling Union 's (UCI) biological passport failed to prevent Kohl from practicing blood doping on a regular basis during his career, he said. "The top riders are so professional in their doping that they know very well they have to keep their blood values stable not to be detected. The UCI sent us the values resulting from the controls: we thus referred to those to mark the next ones. In a way, the passport almost helped us."
As to his positive control for third-generation EPO, CERA, Kohl did not know why it was him who tested positive - along with teammate Stefan Schumacher and Riccardo Riccò - and not other Tour de France riders.
"Everybody in the cycling scene was convinced that this EPO was not detectable. Many more riders had taken it. Oddly enough, we were only three to fall. I am convinced that the top ten could have been positive," the Austrian said. "It just happened to be me, tough luck. I didn't ask for a counter-analysis: this masquerade was over."
reticulocyte counts are abnormally high Their levels can be meaured in bone marrow These are replicating red blood cell precursor-cells. Epo raises their numbers.
Red blood cell mass, in the circulatory system, refers to the raw volume of RBCs, irrespective of their surrounding plasma volumeThe way you test for RBC mass is to inject a specific number of 51-Chromium (radioactive isotope) labeled RBCs, which have a specific measurable radioactivity per million RBCs, inject them into a subject, and then 1 minutes later, take blood samples from the subject.
From measuring total RBCs per dL, and measuring 51-Cr-labeled RBCs per dL, you can calculate total circulating RBCs.
Now, you have to set arbitrary standards of "plausible natural limits" for total circulating RBCs. It's not a perfect science.
Did Lance use PEDs? I don't know. If he did, I wonder how much money Trek made that it wouldn't had not their spokesperson won 7 TDFs, or even one? How much money would Livestrong have collected for cancer research, had Lance been a domestique for his whole career? His superstar status made things happen that would not have happened if he had not risen to the ultra-top. If it was natural, just based on genetics and super-hard training, awesome. If it was based on PED use, maybe not so awesome. Trek selling bikes that wouldn't have happened without the record TDFs, cancer contributions that wouldn't have happened either, what is the take-home lesson?
Eclectus, you write like a professional pharmacist. Would you mind letting me know, roughly, how you know this stuff? What are some of the sources of this information?
"I just googled triple crank set and i see what your saying. this bike has 9 of those "cranksets".
"They are showing [the TDF of Versus] at 5 different times in the day. It doesn't say which one is the live one."

Scientists/cricket geeks have shown that the weather has a significant effect on the results of the Ashes cricket series between Australia and England when the series is held in Australia. The Australian cricket team is more likely to succeed after El Niño years, while the English cricket team does better following La Niña years, the opposite phase when the weather is cooler and wetter. But how significant is this effect and should the teams change their strategies accordingly?

Meet the fastest mathematician on Earth
Fancy crashing through the sound barrier in a rocket propelled car that goes all the way up to 1000mph? Well, we can't give you that experience, but we can get you as close as any maths magazine ever will. Last week we interviewed Andy Green, currently the fastest man on Earth (and Oxford maths graduate), who's now gearing up to break his own land speed record in his Bloodhound SSC — a pencil shaped car powered by a Eurofighter aircraft engine. The car is currently being simulated on super computers, exploiting the full power of computational fluid dynamics and all sorts of other bits of engineering maths, and it's just about to move into the construction phase.
You will be able to read our interview and an article on the maths that makes Bloodhound possible in the September issue of Plus, but meanwhile go and visit the Bloodhound SSC website. It tells you all there is to know about this engineering adventure, the car, and the team behind it. There's a substantial education programme associated to the project — you can sign up for engineering and maths based teaching resources, from instructions to build your own balloon powered car to experimenting with the speed of sound. You can also sign up for an email newsletter, or follow Bloodhound on Twitter.

Did Mahmoud Ahmadinejad really win a landslide election on the 12th of June 2009? Many believe that he didn't, but only a full election re-run scrutinised by independent observers would bring absolute certainty. With this possibility thoroughly off the cards, as the Guardian Council has made clear, some analysts have had a long and hard look at the figures released by the very government accused of doing the rigging, to see if they reveal evidence of fraud.

Last week's BBC programme The price of life highlighted the plight of cancer sufferers awaiting a decision by NICE, the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence, on a new drug that could add years to their lives. If approved by NICE, the drug, called revlimid and used to treat a cancer called multiple myeloma, could be prescribed freely on the NHS. If rejected, the prohibitive cost would spell the end of the line for many patients. In the light of the suffering facing myeloma patients and their families, the main criterion for NICE's decisions — cost-effectiveness — seems almost inhumane. But exactly what kind of mathematical considerations go into NICE's calculations?

Chinese netizens have been moved by the story of 40-year-old Yu Xukang and his 12-year-old son Qiang.
Yu is not only a single father living in the rural areas of Sichuan, he also happens to be the father of a disabled child. Qiang suffers from a severely curved spine and a bent hand and foot. Because the condition is so rare, doctors have been unable to treat the young boy.
Needless to say, the condition has made things very difficult for the father and son, but Yu is determined not to give up despite the difficult circumstances.
According to Shanghaiist, Qiang's mother abandoned the family when her son was only 3-years-old. As a result, Yu took on the responsibility of raising the child on his own.
Of course, this is no easy task. The rural area lacks of transportation and Qiang's school is a two-hour walk away. Qiang cannot physically handle the walk, so Yu carries his 12-year-old son all the way to and from school.
In total Yu walks 28 kilometers a day (roughly 6 hours) just to make sure his son is educated. The walk to school is down a difficult and rugged mountain road which eats away at Yu's rubber shoes.
Despite the difficult situation, Yu shows an undying amount of determination. "We are never late," he said proudly.

I am a Nevada resident and I put in for Utah, Colorado, and Wyoming and I put in for anything between Deer and Mountain Goat, but I have never put in for Arizona. I have always wanted to put in for AZ, just haven´t gotten around to it I guess. So I have some rookie questions to get to know the rules a little better (I could look the AZ fish and game site for hours, but I figure its easier here ha).
1. Would you consider this a "must draw" state?
2. What is the draw system like? If I draw a 2nd choice do I lose my points, or do I keep my points unless I draw my 1st choice?
3. Do I have to buy a license or can I just buy preference points without the license? I noticed that the Non-resident license is like $150, so if I could avoid that until I start getting enough points to draw, that would be nice...
4. I realize that there are the famous areas like the strip and pauns that have monster bucks, but are there other areas of the state that also hold good numbers of animals?
5. Are there any archery mule deer areas that are in some higher country. I always prefer to backpack in and get away from the other people if it´s possible
6. I see that there are a few over-the-counter deer and elk tags... are any of those worth the time and money?
Can I get some ideas of some decent areas that hold good size aniamls for the archery seasons:
1. mule deer
2. elk
3. antelope
Sorry for all of the questions. I really don´t know much about AZ, but I would like to get to know it more. Any help would be appreciated. If anyone has a question about Nevada I can try to help you out.
Thanks for any info in advance...

That's not really the point is it. The amount of storage space available to the customer has changed without notice. The OP was within the limits that have worked since he got the DVR and now the limits have moved.
If the customer had been given notice that'd be one thing, but even in that scenario saying he should just watch his recordings isn't really very constructive.
I'm not exactly sure how Genie is configured to use disk space but it certainly has the unintended consequence of interfering with the normal use of those that have mostly full hard drives.
I have no idea how Genie works but it seems to want a certain amount of space and will take it as it frees up. The number of subs affected has to be pretty small but it's got to be frustrating when you don't know it's coming and didn't have a chance to prepare for it.
Most other DVRs can run full with only minor slowdowns. The DVR is designed to automatically delete old shows to make room for new ones, so in theory you should never have to delete any shows. I ran my Tivo like that for a long time.
The HR34 is also designed so that an entire household of 5, 6, or 7 people can record all of their individual shows onto one DVR. I bet that kind of usage would fill it up fast.
I think what's happened here is that these people's hard drive's file systems are now corrupted. The Genie didn't make space for itself gracefully. I would suggest the OP clear and delete everything and start over from scratch. I would also call D* and complain loudly. He'll hopefully get a credit or free service of some kind.

|This traditional tomato salad from the middle east is something I look forward to every summer.
This salad that's made all over the middle east is one of my very favorite ways to eat tomatoes when they're fresh and sun-ripened, and if I ever was forced to choose my top ten favorite ways to eat tomatoes, this salad would absolutely be on that list. It's actually very good made with Roma tomatoes since they have less seeds and the flesh is firm, but you can make it with any type of tomatoes that have good flavor. I learned to make the salad years ago from my friend Massoud, who came to the United States from Iran, and this combination of salad ingredients is so traditional that it's just called "salad" there. In the U.S. you might see it on a restaurant menu called Salad Shirazi. You can vary the proportions based on your own taste or what you have in the garden, but don't skimp on the mint and parsley, which is what makes this so special.
my windowsill herb garden, so I gave it a good wash in the salad spinner.
Middle Eastern Tomato Salad
(Makes 4-6 servings; recipe from my friend Massoud, who taught me to make this years ago.)
(All amounts are approximate. Feel free to use more or less of some ingredients, depending on your own preferences.)
1 cup finely diced cucumber (remove seeds if they are large)
1 cup finely diced tomato
1 cup finely diced onion (I often use sweet Vidalia onion)
1 cup finely chopped parsley (more or less, to taste)
1 cup finely chopped mint (more or less, to taste)
2-3 T olive oil, or more to taste
1-2 T fresh lemon juice, or more to taste
salt, pepper to taste
Cucumbers, tomatoes, and onions should be cut in same-size pieces, and parsley and mint should be chopped very finely. (You can use a food processor to chop the mint and parsley if you wish.) When all ingredients are chopped, combine in mixing bowl.
Mix in olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper. (Start with a bit less and add more until it tastes right to you. I find it does not need a great deal of dressing to taste good.) Serve immediately.

Enhance vo-tech programs, new superintendent says
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- New state schools Superintendent Jim Phares plans to push initiatives that bolster vocational education programs, move professional development closer to classrooms, and give counties more flexibility in setting their school schedules.
Phares outlined the initiatives Tuesday during a presentation to state lawmakers.
"I'm excited about this process," said Phares, who was sworn in as superintendent last week. "The one common word we cling to is change. People are expecting it."
Phares replaced Jorea Marple, who was fired abruptly in November.
In recent days, Phares has met with county superintendents, school board members and teachers union leaders.
"We did more listening than we did talking," Phares said.
At the top of his "to-do" list: enhancing career and technical education programs. Educators suggested that such programs could start in middle schools.
"They understand it's important for jobs," he said.
Delegate Larry Williams, D-Preston, endorsed the technical education initiative, which he said will also help improve students' math and science skills.
"When kids . . . understand what they like to do, they can have ownership and grow from that," Williams said. "It gives students an opportunity . . . to learn from their hands."
Phares said he supports shifting professional development funds to Regional Education Service Agencies and county school systems. Local school boards would have more control over teacher and principal training programs, he said.
"They want fewer 'shalls' and 'shall nots,'" said Phares, who delivered a monthly superintendents report to a House-Senate education committee Tuesday.
Several state legislators said they support allowing RESAs to lead professional development programs. The proposal also was made in a comprehensive education audit released last year.
"[RESAs] have a wealth of knowledge and experience that we're not tapping into," said Delegate Brady Paxton, D-Putnam.
County school officials also have told Phares they want more flexibility with school calendars. Some school systems want to spread the 180-day school year beyond the current nine-month window that runs from August through May.
"We have unique counties," Phares said. "All of their needs are different."
Phares told lawmakers that the state Board of Education wants to play a more active role in improving West Virginia's schools. The board also wants to work more closely with county school boards, he said.
Legislators encouraged Phares to target student truancy -- an issue the state Supreme Court and Legislature have been addressing through several initiatives over the past year.
"If they're not in school," said Senate Education Committee Chairman Robert Plymale, D-Wayne, "we don't even have a chance to get them to completion."

Economists for Peace and Security
The Fiscal "Cliff" and the Real Problem
Submitted by letsgetitdone on Thu, 11/15/2012 - 9:51pm
Like many others, I'm not worried about the so-called fiscal "cliff," and the ravages to the economy that are likely to occur if Congress doesn't do something about it before the end of the year. That's because a lot of the impact can be cushioned in the short run by Executive Branch manipulations while negotiations continue to go on. But if measures aren't taken to reverse the contractionary effect of the sequestration-induced changes, we're looking at deficit cuts of $487 Billion over 9 months of the fiscal year.

text: As you might have heard through the grapevine, not so long ago I was busy creating the film 'Cycling For Everyone' that officially launched & introduced the Dutch Cycling Embassy. It was quite the process. Challenged by a very tight time frame before it was supposed to be presented (at the Dutch Embassy in Brussels during the Smart2Wheels Forum), I was scrambling to put both a team together and plan things accordingly. The weather forecast wasn't very promising. But we struck some much needed luck; nice temperature, mostly sunny and just a 'bit' of wind. Of course this project was right up my sleeve. Amsterdamize has grown into something solid (albeit, I really need to catch up on posting affairs), I have years of experience in online marketing & particularly in combination with video, I'm no stranger to the historical context of things and I like to think Amsterdamize has contributed to the idea of this embassy :). I managed to put together a great team. The creative, subtle & insightful camera skills of Erwan van Buuren, the charming presence of my friend Mi-Ah Roediger as 'Girl On Bike', production assistence by Reuben Hamburger and the smooth editing of one of my best friends and film director Gabe Bauer. On day 1 we shot scenes in Amsterdam: At the Workcycles shop... At the underground bike parking garage (of which there are many) at Zuid WTC train station... At the Apollolaan/Stadionweg junction, where we were often blocking people going from A to B... Contrary to common use & customs, we sometimes put the Omafiets in the back of the van... ...to get to the infamous Nescio bicycle bridge (of British design(!)) on time, that connects Amsterdam suburb Diemen with IJburg... Day 2 had us: Shooting the morning rush hour on De Lairessestraat/Jacob Obrechtstraat, dominated by the school run... Then we moved to the Nieuwe Spiegelstraat/Prinsengracht area, which included a stop-at-a-shop scene that I ended up not using... On to Houten for the train station's 'Fietstransferium' and junction scenes... And at the end of that busy day we moved our equipment to the majestic Erasmus Bridge in Rotterdam. Unfortunately, these scenes were entirely cut from the film, due to playtime constraints. On day 3 I had to fly to Reykjavik to be a keynote speaker at a cycling conference organized by the Icelandic Cyclists Federation (on which I'll post soon), so the crew went ahead and worked with my instructions. And they did great, filming a tongue-in-cheek scene with a representative of the Fietsersbond (Cyclists Union) & their 'measure bike' and putting academics at 'work' at the ITC of Twente University. Luckily (for you), I had also reminded myself to shoot a few videos along the way, for a modest 'behind-the-scenes' edit:As traditions go, I also couldn't resist assembling the footage we either didn't use (as I said, often you have to 'kill your darlings') or cut it up beyond recognition. Hence: here are the outtakes. Warning: it's almost 24 minutes long ;).Oh, and of course, here's the final product of all our efforts: Cycling For Everyone. Enjoy, if you haven't already :).And thanks to all who helped spreading this video, the counter now stands at over 45.000 views on Vimeo & the Dutch Cycling Embassy received a very warm welcome on Twitter and all the blogs! Here are the YouTube links of two of them: - Cycling For Everyone - Cycling For Everyone - Behind The Scenes And here's the complete Cycling For Everyone photo set.

WASHINGTON (WUSA) - A woman is in critical, but stable condition after she was hit by a car backing up in a parking lot in Glen Burnie, Md. on Monday, November 19, police say.
At around 1:17 p.m., officers responded to a report of a single vehicle collision involving a pedestrian in a parking lot at 7514 Ritchie Highway in Glen Burnie, Md..
Officers say the pedestrian, Stacy Lynn Barracato, 43 of Pasadena, was struck by a 2000 GMC Pickup that was backing up in the parking lot. The pedestrian then became lodged under the truck, police say.
Investigators from the Traffic Safety Section say that the driver of the car and a citizen pulled the pedestrian out from under the truck, began CPR, and called emergency services.
Anne Arundel County Fire Department Paramedics took the victim to University of Maryland Shock Trauma with life threatening injuries, where she is listed in critical, but stable condition.
Preliminary investigation shows improper backing as a possible contributing factor in this collision, but doesn't show that drugs or alcohol were a factor in the accident.

Houston, TX (Sports Network) - The Houston Astros' 4,000th regular-season
win in franchise history came in their American League debut. Rick Ankiel hit
a three-run homer and the Astros beat the Texas Rangers, 8-2, to kick off the
2013 MLB season on Sunday night. Houston, led by rookie manager Bo Porter,
had played its first 51 seasons (1962-2012) in the National League. The
last time a team swapped leagues and divisions came back in 1998, when the
Milwaukee Brewers left the AL Central for its similarly named NL counterpart.
Justin Maxwell went 2-for-3 with two RBI and two runs scored for the Astros,
who capped their National League run a year ago with a second straight 100-
plus loss season. Jose Altuve and Matt Dominguez each had an RBI for the
victors. Houston starter Bud Norris (1-0) gave up two runs on five hits
over 5 2/3 innings to pick up the win. The right-hander went 7-13 with a
4.65 ERA last season. Erik Bedard gave up just one hit over 3 1/3 innings to
record his first career save.

BENTON, Ill. (AP) - A former southern Illinois sheriff is back in a federal lockup in Arizona after being sentenced again in a drug-trafficking case in which he allegedly plotted to have witnesses against him killed.
Raymond Martin is serving his life sentence at a maximum-security prison near Tucson. That's where the former longtime Gallatin County law enforcer was being housed before he was resentenced earlier this month in Benton.
Martin was convicted in 2010, after witnesses testified that he was on duty when he supplied a drug dealer with marijuana stolen from a department evidence locker.
After he was jailed, he allegedly plotted to have two potential witnesses assaulted or possibly killed. Neither was harmed because the would-be hit men got cold feet and told authorities.

Silver Jewelry
Silver Jewelry from the Southwest is different than Silver Jewelry made in other areas of the United States and the world. There is a certain flair about Southwestern Silver Jewelry that makes it so unique. It is in its origin from the Spaniards who originally brought the art of Silversmithing to this region in the mid 1860's. The Spaniards taught a Navajo Indian by the name of Atsidi Sani how to work with Silver and shortly after Silver Jewelry became very popular here in the Southwest. By the 1890's, Navajo's, Hispanics and Anglo's were making Silver Jewelry for a market that was relentless. Check out our informational page on Navajo Silver Jewelry History.
Southwestern Silver Jewelry
As people moved into Southwest, Silver Jewelry and Silver Turquoise Jewelry was purchased and worn by most people who lived in this area. Silversmiths and and Silver Jewelry manufacturers sprung up throughout Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado to make Silver Rings, Silver Bracelets, Silver Earrings, Silver Pendants and Silver Necklaces to fill a market that was growing by leaps and bounds fueld by the Californians and the influx of tourism to the Southwest. Turquoise also became very popular once the Grand Canyon became a National Park and a major attraction bringing a tremendous amount of tourism to the Southwest. A very large industry began producing Turquoise Silver Rings, Turquoise Silver Bracelets, Turquoise Silver Earrings, Turquoise Silver Pendants and Turquoise Silver Necklaces which were a major hit in Hollywood and then throughout southern California.
Silver Jewelry
Durango Silver Company has been in business now for almost forty years producing the finest quality Silver Jewelry and quality Silver Turquoise Jewelry for the upper class market. We focus on high quality Silver Jewelry craftmanship and authentic natural Turquoise of the highest quality. Our market is generally people that have purchased Silver Jewelry and/or Silver Turquoise Jewelry in the past and enjoy the Southwestern style of Jewelry. Most often, a person purchases a piece of Turquoise Fashion Jewelry, falls in love with it and then finds it to be inferior, they then seek quality Silver Jewelry or quality Silver Turquoise Jewelry that will last and then they start doing research to find there is a major difference between cheap production Western Silver costume Jewelry and actual handcrafted quality Silver Jewelry that has value.
Durango Silver Company produces high quality Silver Jewelry and Silver Turquoise Jewelry that is above and beyond most Southwestern Jewelry that you will find on the open market. We guarantee and stand behind our products 100% and cater to a wonderful group of individuals that enjoy the finest quality in their lifestyle. We hope you will think of Durango Silver Company when looking for all of your Silver Jewelry needs.

Comments about BUSHNELL Banner Dusk and Dawn 10x42 Binoculars:
Before I give this review I need to clarify that THE BINOCULARS IN THE PICTURE ARE NOT THE BINOCULARS IN THE DESCRIPTION!! Sports Authority needs to fix this! I bought these thinking they were the ones pictured (which are actually the Bushnell H2O binoculars). The binoculars that came are the actual Natureview binoculars in the description. I returned the Natureview binoculars because I wanted the H2O binoculars in the picture. The H2O binoculars are a hair lighter and more compact. They are very comparable in quality. I am not sure if the Natureview binoculars are actually waterproof. I thought they were excellent quality though. One thing I did not like was that the front eye-cup covers were attached (which is nice so you don't have to keep track of them while you're using the binoculars), but they seemed to always be getting in the way if I didn't pin them to the side with my fingers while I was looking through the binoculars. Also, they didn't fit the eye-cup correctly so I could never get them to stay on. The eye-cup covers on the H2Os flip down and I don't have this problem with them.

WHEELING - In nearly every sport being selfish is looked upon as a bad thing. Hockey, though, is a bit different.
Through the first two games of the regular season the Wheeling Nailers (1-1-0 - 2) are averaging 19 shots per game, a direct result, Coach Clark Donatelli said, of not being selfish enough.
''I don't think we're looking. I don't know if we're trying to be too fancy or what,'' Donatelli said Tuesday following practice at WesBanco Arena. ''It's taking the puck to the net constantly and shooting the puck more.
''Especially at home we should be getting 40 shots a game, throwing pucks to the net and crashing the goalie.''
The Nailers would seem to be built to play such a game, so maybe the defenses are simply a bit ahead of the offense at this juncture?
''The offense is usually a little bit ahead of the defense, but this year our guys are committed to playing defense,'' the coach said. ''We didn't have many odd-man rushes and kept our third man high for the most part.
''We're working really hard, we just need to have some more O-zone time.''
Special Teams
The Nailers penalty kill was on the ice 10 times during the opening weekend and didn't allow a power-play goal against. That's good news for the coaching staff, which has seen good habits developing in that area during practice.
''It's the dedication and commitment to the guys of playing defense and being in the shot lanes to get blocks,'' Donatelli said. ''It's winning 1-on-1 battles. It's not glamorous (but) it's very important and it's something we take pride in.
''It's attention to detail, stick placement and how they're forechecking. And we're not letting them come in on the entry and then it's the one-touches, making sure that once we disrupt them we get the puck out on the first try.''
Conversely, the Wheeling power play is just 1-for-7, the lone conversion a one-time slapshot by Zack Torquato off a face-off victory in the opener against Elmira. Again, it's about shooting the puck.
Early Season Lull
The Nailers have one game this weekend, a Saturday night affair in Toledo. They've got Reading at home a week from Friday, but that's not until Nov. 1.
That's not a good thing as far as Donatelli is concerned. He's got a bunch of young guys right out of college and juniors who are struggling playing a three-line system in the pros.
''I would have liked to play at least one or two more games in October. We're only play three games in October and then we get blitzed with the 15 in November,'' he said. ''I think we've got one game here in the next couple weeks to pick up our conditioning and get into game shape as far as our young guys in terms of shift management.
''They're still learning.''
Count forward Carter Rowney among those finding his way.
'' I remember my first shift I was out there a little longer than regular. I remember coming back and just like that I was up again,'' Rowney said. ''It goes by fast. You've got to really take care of the body out there, make sure you're going short and hard and don't get gassed."

I know there sub areas of the larger area but are they still good areas to apply to? Can bucks 77in and larger be taken in these areas? Make me nervious when the draw odds are so good. Any pitfalls I should know about if I apply here.

Ever walk into a room and forget why you entered? Or completely space out during an important meeting at work? As frustrating as it is, experts say it's actually normal.
Your brain is naturally primed to wander whenever it can, according to a joint study by Harvard University, Dartmouth College, and the University of Aberdeen in Scotland. Using MRI, researchers found that brain regions responsible for "task-unrelated thought" (that is, daydreaming or mind wandering) are almost constantly active when the brain is at rest or performing a task that doesn't require concentration.
Fortunately, brain experts say it's possible to corral that brainpower, filter out distractions, and master any task by improving your concentration. Here are their top tips for refocusing during key moments when your mind starts meandering—but shouldn't.
