No worries. I really don't care..just filling in for ISUag because he usually does that.
It's lucky it wasn't his teammate that took impermissible benefits, cause then he would be out the whole year.
You didn't give me enough information in this thread to let me know who this is or why he is important.

Not only was the OP late with the story, he didn't provide the needed information required to fit the standards of a premium message board. However, the link provided almost makes up for the lack of posting integrity.
Since it's not in this thread:
NCAA modifies Myck Kabongo's suspension to 23 games - CBSSports.com
Since we are critiquing the OP, I think it might be useful to include some corrections which would make this a stronger effort:
1) Explain why I/we care about Texas on an ISU message board (nay, a PREMIUM ISU message board)
2) Name the player in the title, and explain who he is in the first post.
3) Explain why the PG is so important. I don't want to read about some non-impact scrub.
4) Tell me why it's a big hit. Summarize the article. Give me context.
5) Under no circumstances should you make me do any thinking. I'm not on the Internet to think, and I don't believe you want these other animals thinking.

Election officials want to make sure voters turn out to the polls, as runoff elections typically have lower turnout than other elections.
If you are voting tomorrow, make sure you know where to cast your vote.
As long as you are registered to vote, you are able to cast your ballot Tuesday.
"If someone did not vote on August the 2nd, they are eligible to vote," said Johnson. "They just go to their county precinct, which is listed first on their voter registration card. If someone voted Democrat on the 2nd, they have to vote Democrat tomorrow, the 23rd. If someone voted Republican on the 2nd, they have to vote Republican on the 23rd."
The person you vote for Tuesday may get that party's nomination, or win the office, due to not having any other opposition in November.
"You're electing your nominee from a party to run in the general election," said Johnson. "And sometimes, like tomorrow, some of these races could be over with. So it's so important. And we hope Lauderdale County shows up at the polls."
Polls are open Tuesday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Just ain't right without that beautiful blue sky and cotton candy clouds. Need a little help from above !!
Just ain't right without that beautiful blue sky and cotton candy clouds. Need a little help from above !!
Some of you wont appreciate this but, burns are a good thing as long as no one gets hurt. If there is a good winter, and spring think of all the new vegetation man. gonna be great those trees need to burn its a cycle. Look at the predicament tht casper mnt is in all that thick timber on the north side shouldnt be like that. Thats why there is no animals (not many) on that side theres just not much habitat. You look at picture from the early 1900s the mntn hardly has any trees on it, and when she does go up holy crap is it goona go. Just my .02
It is true that the vegetation comes back better than ever but that's what prescribed burns are best for, not the outrageously huge wildfires we have been having. Yes, in my experiences animals do like burn areas to eat and such after it starts growing back but it's usually smaller burn areas where they still have thicker timber around then where they still have a sense of safety. These huge fires where they are taking out whole mountain peaks and such is horrible. You're more than likely not going to find a herd of elk hanging out there come this fall! It's hard to see the up side of these fires when I have experienced first hand how damaging and deadly they are.
Be thankful you dont live in communist Kalifornia, where fire supression has killed the forest. We have very few decent summer, winter ranges that can actually hold animals. Most of our forest is so choked with old underbrush and thick canopies, that when a fire does eventually start, it can/and will grow to epic proportions. Those fires, with all of the fuel, kill everything from the humans that fight them, to the dirt that they grow in. As long as no homes are burned and nobody gets hurt, it will be a boon to hunt in future years. Ive watched our deer populations buckle in the last 50 years, because of fire supression.
I have seen deer move back in right after a fire while the trees were still smoldering! After our California fires, the area looked like a "Moonscape." But the deer were everywhere, wish Forestry would do a control burn in our mtns, the brush is getting thick and tall.
Have a fire going in the canyon about 3 miles away right now. The fire just went straight to crowning with all the dead uynderbrush. At 100 acres, we must have 2000 crews on hand!
The Forest circus should get most of the blame for these big fires for not allowying more logging. This is what you get with rampant bettle kill and no thinning of the trees. Somethings gotta give, also you cant expect to live in area like the laramie peak and the Colorado springs fire and not expect something like that to happen. Its why you thin your trees, just like people in florida area should expect hurricanes, and california expect earthquakes. The animals will come back, and by the sounds of it they may not get that bad boy out before the snow falls so it is what it is. To be honest the fire thing is a little over hyped to me, its summer, its dry, lets move on.
Personally I would rather see a huge forest fire over housing developments along the mountain side. The human invasion into forests is more hurtful for the herds than a forest fire is. Sorry for the people who happen to live in these areas but forest fires come with the territory.

A craniotomy is a surgery done on the head. The surgeon cuts through the skull to reach the brain. There are different types of craniotomies, including:
The success of this surgery depends on the reason it is being done. The most common reasons for a craniotomy include:
Smoking may increase the risk of complications.
If you are planning to have a craniotomy, your doctor will review a list of possible complications which may include:
If your surgery is planned, your doctor will review what will happen and what to expect afterwards. At your appointment before your surgery, your doctor may:
Be sure to ask your doctor any questions that you have, such as:
Other things to remember:
General anesthesia is used for most craniotomies. General anesthesia will block any pain and keep you asleep during the surgery. It is given through an IV in your hand or arm.
If you have an
awake craniotomy, you will be given general anesthesia. You will be awake for part of the surgery.
If you have
stereotaxy surgery, you may be given local anesthesia. This blocks just the area where surgery will happen.
After you are asleep and can no longer feel pain, a breathing tube will be placed. Your head will be shaved and your skin will be washed with an antiseptic. The surgeon will cut into part of your scalp. Next, part of your skull will be removed and your brain covering will be opened. Depending on the reason for your surgery, several things may happen: a tumor may be removed, a part of your brain tissue may be taken, a tube may be placed, or repairs to your brain or its vessels may be done. The brain opening will then be sewn back into place and your skull replaced. Staples or stitches will be used to close the incision. A drain may be inserted to remove blood and fluid for the first few days after surgery. A dressing will be wrapped around your head.
After your surgery, you will be taken to the recovery room to be monitored. Your mental status and vital signs will be checked often. After the recovery room, you may spend some time in the intensive care unit (ICU) or a step-down unit before being moved to a hospital room. This will depend on the reason for your surgery.
Several hours, depending on the type and reason for surgery
During surgery, you will feel no pain. After surgery, you will be given medicine to manage any pain.
3-7 days (Your doctor may keep you longer if complications occur.)
When you return home, do the following to help ensure a smooth recovery:
After you leave the hospital, contact your doctor if any of the following occurs:
In case of an emergency, call for medical help right away.

Oakland, CA (Sports Network) - While shaking off his prior postseason woes,
Justin Verlander is peaking just in time for the Detroit Tigers.
The reigning American League Cy Young winner fired his first postseason
shutout and the Tigers are headed back to the ALCS following a 6-0 triumph
over the Oakland Athletics in Game 5 of their ALDS.
With his 22 strikeouts in the series, Verlander set a new LDS record.
Joe Coleman was the last Tiger to record a shutout in postseason play. He did
so in Game 3 of the 1972 ALCS against the Athletics.
Verlander (2-0) fanned 11, scattered four hits and walked one for Detroit,
which will appear in its franchise's sixth ALCS and third in the last seven
Verlander came into this postseason with 3-3 mark and a 5.57 ERA over eight
starts, but won both of his starts in this series. The fireballer surrendered
just one run over 16 frames.
Including the postseason, the 29-year-old has won his last six starts and has
posted a minuscule 0.64 ERA during the span.
Jarrod Parker (0-2) was touched for four runs on seven hits and a walk in 6
1/3 innings in the setback.

|Tips offered at March 14 workshop
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
A Manure and Dead Animal Management workshop will be held Thursday, March 14 at First Presbyterian Church, on the corner of Birch and 4th streets in Wray from 1-3:30 p.m. No registration is required.
There are two very certain facts about raising animals. They all excrete manure and there will be some death loss.
A person can use a little manure in the family garden, but getting rid of the rest can be challenging. There are several regulations about transporting manure, particularly if it goes to cropland that does not belong to you.
Dealing with the carcasses is a little more difficult. Increasing regulations and costs have virtually eliminated the traditional 'dead animal trucks.' Leaving the carcass to decay and be eaten by scavengers is not a good management method either.
Another year of drought and livestock feeding in confined areas will certainly add to the manure supply for livestock owners.
Colorado State University professor Jessica Davis will share information that livestock operators should know about manure storage and transportation regulations. She will then share ideas about what operators can do with the manure supply they have on hand and answer questions.
Livestock Mortality Composting for Large and Small Operations in the Semi-arid West was a multi-state, multi-agency project to help livestock operators deal with dead animals. The resulting booklet has a step-by-step guide to composting dead animals with clear illustrations and pictures.
CSU Extension personnel Michael Fisher and John Deering were part of the project. They will walk attendees through the composting process and answer any questions. A limited supply of booklets and DVDs will be available.

|School approves budget with $92,500 deficit
|Written by Brenda Johnson Brandt
Approving $7.67 million in total appropriations, Holyoke's Board of Education adopted its 2009-2010 June budget Tuesday, June 16.
Budget figures reflected a deficit of $92,583, acknowledging the district realizes expenditures are that much more than revenues. Board members adopted a resolution authorizing spending $92,583 out of the beginning fund balance for budgeted general operating expenditures.
District director of budget and finance Sharon Thompson noted the June budget is based on Colorado Department of Education's 4.9 percent additional funding.
The projected funded pupil count is 574.5, and the budget cites $1,357,417 in reserves. The board has targeted $1.2 million as the floor for the reserve funds.
Also accounted for in the June budget are step increases for certified and classified staff, PERA district contribution and district health insurance contribution which stays at $350/month or $4,200 per participating employee.
Thompson noted budgeting for two full-time special education teachers at the elementary school, 2.5 Title I positions (an increase by one full position) and the addition of a third fifth-grade position. One full-time art position was eliminated in the district.
She pointed out capital reserve allocations are no longer required, and noted athletic and activity items are now listed in the general fund.
The June budget is basically a preliminary one, as the final budget will be adopted in December. Audited figures from 2008-09, as well as the student count for 2009-2010 will be known by then.
The following appropriation resolution was approved for the 2009-2010 budget:
General Fund $6,525,044
Bond Redemption 434,750
Food Service 169,800
Trust and Agency 247,000
Activity 295,000
Total Appropriation $7,671,594
Two new teachers hired,
extra duty assignments made,
Purnell resignation accepted
Kindergarten and elementary special education teachers were hired for 2009-10 at last week's school board meeting. Additionally, the board approved extra duty assignments for the school year.
In other personnel matters, the resignation of alternative school director George Purnell was accepted.
Purnell has accepted an assistant principal/athletic director/assistant coach position at John Mall High School in Walsenburg, where he will start July 1.
Prior to the employment decisions, a 50-minute executive session was held for new personnel discussion.
Shelby Lingbloom of Julesburg was hired as a kindergarten teacher. She graduated from Julesburg HS in 2004, and earned a B.A. degree in liberal arts with elementary education in 2008 from Colorado Christian University.
Since January she has served as a substitute teacher at Platte Valley Elementary in Sedgwick.
Mandy Krause of Greeley was hired as a special education teacher at Holyoke Elementary.
She earned her B.A. degree in history with secondary teaching emphasis and a minor in special education from the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley last month.
She student-taught at Berthoud High School, in a social studies setting last semester. Additionally, she completed teacher candidate observations at Greeley Central HS and Valley High School.
Prior to accepting extra-duty assignments for 2009-10, board member Jon King asked to table the agenda item until board member Linda Jelden was present. His motion died for lack of a second, and the extra-duty list was approved 5-1, with King casting the dissenting vote.
Coaching salaries remained the same as last year, at $3,102 for head HS coaches, band director and play director; $1,861 for assistant HS coaches, weight room sponsor and HS spiritleader sponsor; $1,825 for JH head coaches; $1,241 for assistant JH coaches and JH spiritleader sponsor; and $932 for choir director and musical director.
Changes were noted in the football program which is now a JH/HS combined program, with coaching staff covering both levels. Rod Trumper is the head 7-12 coach with a HS head coach salary. Five assistant HS coaching salaries were approved for 7-12 coaches Russ Sprague, Aaron Sprague, Aaron Mosenteen, John Ortner and John Baumgartner. Also approved as volunteer football coaches are Mike Smith, Dusty McConnell, Corey Zeiler and Clint Goldenstein.
Carla Mayfield (new JR/SR high language arts teacher) was named play director; Pat Wiebers, band director and musical director; and Marcia Dalton, choir director.
Other assignments were made as follows, with head coaches listed first:
HS volleyball, Sandra Rahe and Tammie Timm; HS boys' basketball, John Baumgartner and Scott Dille; HS girls' basketball, Arlan Scholl and Clint Goldenstein; HS wrestling, Duane Stroh and Dusty McConnell; HS boys'/girls' track, Sandra Rahe, Tracy Trumper and Clint Goldenstein.
HS baseball, Kyle Bules and John Ortner; HS girls' softball, Ashley (Geist) Clayton, assistant still open; HS boys' golf, volunteers Garrett Gordon and Kurtis Huss; HS girls' golf, Garrett Gordon; weight room, Rod Trumper; HS spiritleader, Jane Zink.
JH volleyball, Theresa Tharp and Angie Powell; JH boys' basketball, head position open, asst. Kyle Bules; JH girls' basketball, Ashley Clayton and Rebecca Helm; JH wrestling, Dusty McConnell and Justin Helgoth; JH boys'/girls' track, Angie Powell, Kevin Asbury and Rhonda Smith; JH spirtleader, Kevin Asbury.
Fees approved; random drug
policy has minor revisions
In further action at last week's board meeting, changes to the current student fee schedule were approved for 2009-10.
While the participation fee for each JH and HS sport, as well as HS and JH cheerleading will remain at $35 per sport, a cap was set at $100 per year limit for those involved in three or more sports.
Three other additional fees were approved: $10 for HS P.E. class to cover costs of bowling and swimming, $5 user fee for math graphing calculators and $15 foods and nutrition fee.
Two changes were approved for the random drug testing policy which was implemented last fall.
When students request a hair sample test rather than a Dip or Etg, the family will now be required to make up the approximate $50 difference in cost.
Also, the policy will now state when a student is selected for random drug testing, a bottle of water will be provided 30 minutes prior to the test. Principal Susan Ortner said this simply clarifies practice which has been used this past year.
Ortner also reported she had checked into auditing the random selection and there are companies that can do that for a fee. She noted she talked with the Scottsbluff, Neb. school district and the principal in New Jersey who was the speaker at a program she attended in Pagosa Springs in 2008. They don't do audits and have had no questions pertaining to the need for them.
Other business
In other business June 16, the Re-1J board:
—approved the K-12 science and K-12 fine arts curriculum.
—added Chasity Pelle, Shelby Beavers, Alyssa Cordova and Shaun Beck as summer workers; and Tracy Cordova as a summer school aide.
—accepted a $219 bid from Holyoke Methodist Church for the used drum set.

Shutdown orders issued as Congress misses deadline
WASHINGTON For the first time in nearly two decades, the federal government staggered into a partial shutdown early Tuesday morning after congressional Republicans stubbornly demanded changes in the nation's health care law as the price for essential federal funding and President Barack Obama and Democrats adamantly refused.
As Congress gridlocked, Obama said a "shutdown will have a very real economic impact on real people, right away," with hundreds of thousands of federal workers furloughed and veterans' centers, national parks, most of the space agency and other government operations shuttered.
He laid the blame at the feet of House Republicans, whom he accused of seeking to tie government funding to ideological demands, "all to save face after making some impossible promises to the extreme right wing of their party."
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, responded a short while later on the House floor. "The American people don't want a shutdown and neither do I," he said. Yet, he added, the new health care law "is having a devastating impact. ... Something has to be done."
The stock market dropped on fears that political deadlock between the White House and a tea party-heavy Republican Party would prevail, though analysts suggested significant damage to the national economy was unlikely unless a shutdown lasted more than a few days.
A few minutes before midnight, Budget Director Sylvia Burwell issued a directive to federal agencies to "execute plans for an orderly shutdown." While an estimated 800,000 federal workers faced furloughs, some critical parts of the government - from the military to air traffic controllers - would remain open.
Among the immediate casualties was tourism at the Capitol. The visitor center announced it would be closed "due to a lapse in government funding," and all tours of Congress suspended.
The interruption in federal funding sent divided government into territory unexplored in nearly two decades. Then, Republicans suffered significant political damage and President Bill Clinton benefitted from twin shutdowns. Now, some Republicans said they feared a similar outcome.
If nothing else, some Republicans also conceded it was impossible to use funding legislation to squeeze concessions from the White House on health care. "We can't win," said Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.
"We're on the brink," Sen. Barbara Mikulski, D-Md., said shortly after midday as the two houses maneuvered for political advantage and the Obama administration's budget office prepared for a partial shutdown, the first since the winter of 1995-96.
On a long day and night in the Capitol, the Senate torpedoed one GOP attempt to tie government financing to changes in "Obamacare." House Republicans countered with a second despite unmistakable signs their unity was fraying - and Senate Democrats promptly rejected it, as well.
With Republicans defiant, the House voted 228-199 to re-pass their earlier measure and simultaneously request negotiations with the Senate on a compromise. Boehner later sidestepped when asked if he would permit a vote on a standalone spending bill that would allow the government to reopen.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said the Senate would reject the House move in the morning. "That closes government. They want to close government," he said of House Republicans.
As lawmakers squabbled, Obama spoke bluntly about House Republicans. "You don't get to extract a ransom for doing your job, for doing what you're supposed to be doing anyway, or just because there's a law there that you don't like," he said. Speaking of the health care law that undergoes a major expansion Tuesday, he said emphatically: "That funding is already in place. You can't shut it down."
Some Republicans balked, moderates and conservatives alike.

Acoustics is the science of sound. A huge number of scientific problems and disciplines fit into this definition, including noise and vibration control, electroacoustics (audio, loudspeaker and microphone design), medical ultrasonics (using sound to kill cancer cells without surgery) and more.
At Kettering, even if you're not a physics major, you can still pursue a minor in Acoustics. For the minor, you'll complete 16 credits—and get the chance to create your own vibrations with a research project. Some examples include
- mapping the vector sound intensity field around a tuning fork,
- acoustical study of the Djembe (African Hand Drum), or
- modeling a small room for acoustical measurements.

What size would I need for my wife who is 5-7" and about 125-135?
The most important measurements any time you purchase a wetsuit using the manufacturer''s sizing charts will always be your waist and chest/bust measurements. The suit needs to fit your torso correctly in order to do its job properly. Keep in mind there is no such thing as a comfortable wetsuit on the surface. You want it to be snug, but not cut off circulation to your extremities. The more snug it is, the thinner the layer of water your body is heating. If its too loose you will remain warm for awhile, but eventually your body won''t be able to keep up with the greater amount of water flowing through the suit and you''ll wind up getting cold faster. After that your height is a secondary measurement. The manufacturers realize that generally speaking your boots and gloves can overlap slightly short arms and legs, or the diver can push or roll up longer sleeves and/or arms if need be. Weight is a measurement the diver can usually ignore. It really has little to no bearing what so ever on the sizing and fit of your suit. The manufacturers do not take into account muscle being more dense than fat, so based simply on fitness levels 2 people can be the exact same size but quite different in weight. This measurement should only be used if the person is literally on the fence between 2 sizes in all categories.

Hall in Tirol : Michelin's recommendations
Hall in Tirol was the Inn valley's salt town. It played a leading role in the Middle Ages. Though busy river traffic on the Inn is past, this still-lively cultural and economic centre has retained a Medieval atmosphere. From the opposite bank of the Inn, on the Tulfes road, visitors can enjoy an excellent viewpoint of the Upper Town's three belfries and famous Mint Tower (Münzerturm).

WHEELING - You had to figure Colleen McCormick and Wheeling Central would rebound from a loss to Shadyside in last week's OVAC Class 2A Championship game.
After all, nobody rebounds better than Colleen McCormick.
McCormick scored 20 points and pulled down her 1,000th career rebound along the way as the Maroon Knights beat Wheeling Park, 68-63, to salvage a split in the season series Wednesday night at Central's gym.
Article Photos
Wheeling Central's Colleen McCormick (3) has a shot blocked by Wheeling Park's Kendra Johnson (35) and is guarded by Park's Caitlyn O'Neal (12).
While an individual accomplishment won't overshadow a team one - and it didn't for McCormick - Knights coach Penn Kurtz was a little beside himself in trying to digest this one in particular.
''I've never had anybody do that in the 27 years I've been here,'' he said.
Few coaches have.
''It's just hard work for four straight years, then just working with my teammates,'' McCormick said. ''It's all determination. Just get low, box out, and grab the ball.''
Earlier this season, McCormick scored her 1,000th point, the kind of symmetry few Ohio Valley basketball players have managed through the years. Bellaire's Nate Davis was the last to do it.
Wheeling Park offered plenty of opportunities for McCormick rebounds with a poor shooting night from everywhere, but it was a dismal 13 of 27 performance at the free-throw line that was haunting Patriots coach Dee Davis.
''We lose 14 easy buckets and lose by five,'' Davis said. ''It's just a lack of focus.
''I liked the way we attacked. I liked our defense. We didn't finish as much as we should have. We missed a lot of layups- especially at the beginning of the game. It's little things like that. Central's a good team, don't get me wrong. But I think we beat ourselves.''
The Patriots, who trailed for a large portion of the game, held a one-point lead going into halftime, taking advantage of the foul trouble that dogged Maroon Knights co-star Emily Bucon.
''They missed a lot early on (Park was 5 of 16 from the line the first half), which is uncharacteristic for them,'' Kurtz said. ''It kind of surprised me because we could have been down a lot.
''First half, we were throwing the ball all over the court. We settled down. That was the difference.''
With Bucon back in the fray, Central (18-4) enjoyed runs of 13-5 and 13-4 in the second half, each time pushing a lead to 10, mostly because it made the freebies. The Maroon Knights hit on 20 of 26 at the line, with Bucon draining 13 of 14.
''Foul shots win games,'' McCormick said. ''Emily hit a lot of big free throws for us.''
With Haley Robb scoring 26 points and sometimes making shots from the Convenient parking lot down the street, Park continually battled back. The Patriots got to within one at 50-49 with 5:46 to play on a layin by Caitlyn O'Neal before Central, and specifically Bucon, took things the other way. She had 10 of her 21 points in the last eight minutes.
Central's contributions came from beyond the Big Two, though. Regan Blaha come of the bench to score 13 points, Madison Basinger picked up some slack inside before she hit foul trouble of her own, and Sydney Bennington hit a key shot midway through the second quarter.
Emily Puskarich added 15 for the Patriots.

Great At First
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I loved these shorts when I first got them. They run big, I'm 5'11'' 160 pounds with a 32in waist and the small fit me perfect. The medium was too large. The pads are placed so you don't feel them when you are pedaling. I would happily take them on long climbs. However, after a few months of riding they stretched out and don't fit me like they used to. I still wear them but things move around a little more than they should if you catch my drift. All in all a pretty good short.

Effects of PPAR Ligands on Ectopic Fat Accumulation and Inflammation

- How to Read a Study Record
The relationship between obesity and insulin resistance is known, however the mechanism(s) associating obesity with insulin resistance is not well understood. Inflammation and accumulation of fat in non fat tissue (like muscle) are conditions found on obesity which could be the potential link between obesity and insulin resistance. This study is designed to test the effects of two different drugs on numerous features of the obesity and insulin resistance in subjects with impaired glucose tolerance. Impaired glucose tolerance is a condition where blood sugar is too high after drinking a sugary drink containing 75 grams of sugar. Impaired glucose tolerant subjects are insulin resistant and at risk of developing diabetes. The drugs to be used are fenofibrate and pioglitazone. Fenofibrate is used to reduce the amount of fat (triglycerides) in the blood while pioglitazone is routinely used to make the body more sensitive to insulin in patients with diabetes. The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of either of these two medications (pioglitazone and fenofibrate) alone or the combination of both on fat accumulation in body (muscle) and inflammation. The amount of fat accumulation in muscle is thought to affect insulin sensitivity. In addition, the changes in the level of proteins produced by fat tissues will be studied in response to the two medications in this study. These proteins are thought to be involved in diabetes and insulin resistance.
These studies are designed to examine fundamental clinical mechanisms underlying the metabolic syndrome and diabetes.

Detailed Description:
The correlation between obesity, inflammation and ectopic fat accumulation is well recognized; however, the mechanism(s) responsible for obesity induced insulin resistance is not well understood. We will focus on lipotoxicity and inflammation as the link between obesity and insulin resistance. The factors leading to inflammation and ectopic lipid accumulation in obesity and the best intervention to reverse this pathophysiology are not clear. In this study, we will examine inflammation in adipose tissue and muscle lipid mechanism in response to Peroxisome Proliferator Activated Receptors (PPAR) and ligands have synergistic anti-inflammatory effects in adipose tissue and activation of PPAR and decrease muscle lipid oxidation and redistribution of lipid from muscle to adipocytes respectively. The combination of both medications will be particularly effective in reducing inflammation and muscle lipid accumulation.
In this study, IGT subjects will be randomized to treatment with PPAR ligand (fenofibrate), PPAR ligand (pioglitazone) or combination of both for 10 weeks. Baseline studies will include assessment of body composition, insulin sensitivity, muscle and fat biopsies. All studies will be repeated after treatment with fenofibrate, pioglitazone or combination of both.
Specific Aims (SA) are as follows:
SA 1. Insulin sensitivity and Intramyocellular lipid (IMCL) from muscle biopsy specimens will be measured in response to different treatments (PPAR , and combination of both ligands).
SA 2. The rate of fatty acid oxidation and the number of mitochondria in muscle will be measured in response to PPAR ligands.
SA 3. The anti-inflammatory effects of PPAR and ligands will be studied by the measurement of the number of adipose tissue macrophages and the rate of macrophages apoptosis in fat biopsy specimens. In addition, the plasma levels and expression of proinflammatory proteins will be studied in response to different treatment.
SA 4. The rate of SUMOylation of PPAR (a novel mechanism regulating anti-inflammatory effects of PPAR ligands) will be studied in response to PPAR , ligand or combination of both.
These studies are designed to examine fundamental clinical mechanisms underlying the metabolic syndrome and diabetes.
Potential Impact on Veterans Health Care: The national obesity/diabetes epidemic is magnified in the VA, and the cost of caring for these patients is enormous. This study will provide data on the mechanism of action of these drugs, which will improve our understanding of these drugs, impaired glucose tolerance, and treatment of metabolic syndrome. From the clinical perspective, this study uses drugs to treat patients with IGT, which is rapidly becoming recognized as a "disease" because of its association with coronary artery disease risk factors, and because of its high rate of progression to T2DM. If these drugs were shown to improve the care of patients, then they would eventually be a cost savings to the VA, either by choosing the less expensive drug, or by using the drug that delays the progression of the disease, and improves the care of the patient by preventing complications.

text: Mexico is a federal constitutional republic in North America. With an estimated population of 109 million, it is the 11th most populous country and the most populous Spanish-speaking country in the world. Around 9,000 years ago, ancient indigenous peoples domesticated corn and initiated an agricultural revolution, leading to the formation of many complex civilizations .... These civilizations revolved around cities with writing, monumental architecture, astronomical studies, mathematics, and large militaries. This historical legacy combined with sunny weather and beautiful beaches has helped Mexico become the seventh most popular tourist destination worldwide. The peak tourist seasons in Mexico are during December and during July and August, with brief surges during the week before Easter and during spring break at many of the beach resort sites which are popular among vacationing college students from the United States.Show More

Press Statement 13-001 Loss of Three Canadian Aircrew Members in Antarctica Is Confirmed
Statement by Kelly K. Falkner, director of NSF's Division of Polar Programs
A memorial ceremony for the aircrew at NSF's Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station
Credit and Larger Version
January 28, 2013
On behalf of the U.S. National Science Foundation and all in the U. S. Antarctic Program, I wish to extend our profound sympathies to the families, friends, and colleagues of the three Kenn Borek Twin Otter crew, whose deaths in Antarctica while en route to support the Italian national Antarctic science program have recently been confirmed.
We have been privileged to experience first-hand their professionalism, skill, and dedication to the arduous task of supporting science in an extremely remote and inhospitable environment. In many ways, their contributions make possible hard won but vital advances in scientific knowledge that serve all of mankind. Although everyone associated with the pursuit of science in Antarctica makes personal sacrifices to do so, very infrequently and sadly, some make the ultimate sacrifice.
While it may come as little consolation at this very sorrowful time, the families, friends, and colleagues of the crew members should know that the thoughts of everyone in the U.S. Antarctic Program were with them through the long ordeal of the past few days and remain so now.
To the families and friends of the crew, I commend your loved ones for their commitment and dedication to their profession and offer our condolences. The sense of loss is keenly felt throughout the U.S. program and no doubt throughout the international Antarctic community.

Linz, Austria (Sports Network) - Victoria Azarenka earned her sixth title of
2012 with a straight-set win over Julia Goerges in the final of the Generali
Ladies Linz tournament.
The top-seeded Azarenka posted a 6-3, 6-4 triumph on Sunday for her second
straight title. The native of Belarus also won last week in Beijing and hasn't
dropped a set while winning 11 straight matches in that span.
Azarenka technically has a 13-match win streak, including two victories in
Tokyo before withdrawing from a quarterfinal match because of dizziness. She
has not lost a match since falling to Serena Williams in the final of the U.S.
Open last month.
Sunday's victory gave Azarenka her 14th career title. She also won in Indian
Wells, Doha, Sydney and at the Australian Open in addition to her two most
recent triumphs.
Azarenka improved to 14-11 all-time in finals, including 6-3 this year. She is
also 4-1 lifetime against Goerges.
Goerges, seeded fifth this week, fell to 2-3 in title matches. The German lost
the Dubai final to Agnieszka Radwanska in her lone title match of 2012 and
hasn't won a tournament since last year in Stuttgart.

Roast Coffee Pairing #9: I Can Name that Coffee In One Cup!
We're having a little bit of fun with this week's roast pairing and you are only supposed to be reading this post if you've already tried both coffees. Take a guess as to what origin you think these two coffees are from. Both were roasted to the same level, somewhere between City+ and FC. In coffee #1 you should notice a nice brightness in this very clean, lively cup. There is also a lovely floral quality and great medium body out of this Wet Processed lot. Do you know what it is? Answer: Sulawesi AA Wet-Process Toarco. That's right this is a Sulawesi coffee with as much in common with a Guatemala flavor profile as other Sulawesi coffees. Which brings us to coffee #2. Here we have a much more robust bodied coffee with earthy qualities that should be much easier to figure out. Can you tell where it is from? Answer: Sulawesi Enrekang "Mt. Alla". We were really trying to fool you all in to thinking that the Toarco was from a different region because it is the most radically different Sulawesi we've ever found. There is a striking difference between the Wet-Process that is done with the Toarco, and the Wet-Hulling that is done with the "Mt. Alla". The former creates a very clean, brilliant cup while the latter leads to a more brooding, rustic cup. Hopefully you enjoy having two such different coffees from the same spot on Earth, please let us know on the RoastBlog what you think of this mystery roast idea. It is a good way to challenge your coffee knowledge and encourages a greater understanding of how processing plays such a key role in the cup results.

Jupiter, FL (Sports Network) - Giancarlo Stanton drove in two runs helping the Miami Marlins to an 8-3 decision over the St. Louis Cardinals in the spring training opener for both teams.
John Maine, who made his first start since the 2011 season, allowed one hit and struck out one batter over two innings pitched to earn the win.
Miami broke out the bats early, as Juan Pierre led off with a triple and Stanton drove him home on a groundout. Joe Mahoney hit a double in the same inning, and crossed home plate on Donovan Solano's single. The Marlins led, 2-0.
Miami added two runs in the bottom of the second, but not before David Freese hit a solo shot in the top half, putting the Cards on the scoreboard.
Alfredo Silverio, Miami's designated hitter, homered off Randy Choate in the fifth. The Marlins added one run in the sixth and eighth inning, respectively.
St. Louis starter Trevor Rosenthal picked up the loss and allowed five hits, four earned runs and walked two batters in two innings pitched.

10:50 a.m. update
Authorities are reporting that the gas leak in front of the Sound of Freedom Shoppes in Havelock has been stopped. The leak was reported about 10:15 a.m. at the same location where a car crash resulted in a busted main distribution line last week, prompting the closure of U.S. 70. The highway was not closed for this latest leak.
Today's leak was from a relief valve, and a crew from Piedmont Gas need about 30 minutes to correct the problem. The Sound of Freedom Shoppes was evacuated, but workers are returning. The service road in front of the shopping center is back open.
10:30 a.m. update
The gas leak is not believed to be as serious as the situation last week that prompted U.S. 70 to close. There is no evacuation planned for Gurganus Elementary School, and classes continue as normal at the school. The service road in front of the Sound of Freedom Shoppes remains closed, and the center has been evacuated. Authorities report no major issues with the evacuation. The National Weather Service reports winds up to 10 mph, which is helping disperse the gas.
10:25 a.m. update
Piedmont Gas worker at the scene of the gas leak at Sound of Freedom Shoppes reports that the leak is from a relief valve. Additional workers are set to arrive. The service road in front of the shopping center remains closed, and the center has been evacuated. U.S. 70 remains open.
10:20 p.m. update
The Sound of Freedom Shoppes was being evacuated because of the smell of gas.
Havelock fire and rescue as well as police were responding to the area where a car crashed Thursday afternoon resulting in a broken main distribution line.
A call came in at 10:15 a.m. Monday reporting a gas leak in the same area.
The service road in front of the Sound of Freedom Shoppes was closed, but U.S. 70 remained open to traffic, unlike last week when the closure of the highway resulted in massive traffic jams.

I love corn, but sometimes, it feels like it has taken over our entire food chain. Michael Pollan explains it eloquently in this article, which he prefaces by saying: "If you are what you eat, and especially if you eat industrial food, as 99 percent of Americans do, what you are is "corn." And one of my favourite blogging farmers, Gene Logsdon, puts it this way: "Corn has become a symbol of over-industrialized farming. Corn is sort of like sex. It is such a wonderful thing that it is easy to carry to excess."
Driving through rural Ontario in the summer, you see hundreds of acres of corn, each year more than the one before. It's kind of pretty, in that vibrant green monoculture kind of way. But it's hardly an example of sustainable agriculture. About 12 years ago, I found out that most of the corn grown in Canada is genetically engineered (GE) and I started doing research about it. I didn't like what I found out. It was like opening a sci-fi thriller novel packed with unsavoury details: whistle-blowing scientists fired for sharing their findings about adverse effects of GE foods, superweeds on the rise, high-level cover-ups, bribes, and large multinational companies dictating to our government exactly what kinds of crops we should grow and eat. Call me weird, but I just don't want to eat foods that have had foreign genes spliced into them by large companies of the likes of Monsanto. Since GE foods are not labeled in Canada, and since most farm animals eat genetically engineered corn and soy, it means there are a whole bunch of foods (including meat and dairy) that I try to avoid unless they are certified organic (which prohibits the use of GE crops). For someone who loves food like I do, it can sometimes be a real pain in the ass having to ask if the corn used in my taco is organic. I never wanted to become one of "those people" that asks too many questions at the restaurant. I kind of resent GMOs for turning me into that person because it's not that I'm a picky eater, in fact I'll eat anything and everything, but I just don't want unknown genes spliced into my sandwich, that's all. This film by award-winning journalist Marie-Monique Robin explains the whole issue better than I could ever put into words, it is really a must-see especially for us North Americans who eat this stuff on a daily basis (to see the film in its entirety, click here):
So, as you can see, when I say I have a complicated relationship with corn, I'm not kidding. But, here's the happy ending / beginning to my story... recently I met someone who made me fall in love with corn again. And in the process, I also fell in love with him. But we'll save those juicy details for another time... What I want to tell you about, is how exquisitely beautiful the corn that he grows is: a deep golden open-pollinated organic variety of field corn called Early Riser. This is what it looks like, isn't it a beauty?!
Recently, this man milled his fall harvest into cornmeal and brought me a whole bag of it. In my books this is the equivalent of a dozen roses. I think I even swooned a little bit. So these days, corn and I are on the mend. And here is what I have been making with this heavenly, GMO-free, lovingly grown and harvested organic cornmeal: POLENTA FRIES!!! These are easy to make and incredibly delicious. Please make them, eat a whole pan, and while you're at it, click here and take 2 seconds to sign a letter against this brand new genetically engineered "Agent Orange" corn that could soon be on your dinner plate if the USDA approves it. (Only you wouldn't know it, because it won't be labeled. And since we're on the topic of online petitions, here's one to sign for the labelling of GMOs)
And one more thing, and then I promise I'll shut up and leave you to eat your polenta fries in peace and quiet. Today is a global day of action against Monsanto, please see ways to get involved here. Here is a great Facebook status update to use... as a suggestion:
Dear Monsanto Staff,
Your services will no longer be needed. Your positions have been "terminated". It has been determined that God/Spirit made everything perfect the first time and no redos are necessary. You will have to find other employment that does not kill & poison the earth & it's citizens. There are many other professions with integrity that might interest you: farming, teaching, janitorial services, etc.
-The Citizens of the World.
3/4 cup freshly grated parmesan
1/4 cup butter
Chopped fresh sage (or rosemary)
Salt, to taste
Olive oil for baking sheet
This recipe will make a LOT of polenta fries. If you're only cooking for 2 or 3, you may want to half it, but otherwise, trust me, they will get eaten! Bring cornmeal, salt, and water to a slow simmer in a thick-bottomed pot, stirring often for about 20 minutes. Stir in cheese, herbs, and butter. Spread polenta out in a couple of large lasagna-style pan to approx. 3/4 inch depth. Cool in the fridge for 1 or 2 hours. Slice into fries. Cover a baking sheet with with about 2 tbsp. olive oil and bake your fries in a 425 F oven for about 45 minutes or until nicely crisp and golden on the outside, turning them over halfway through.

Small but large!
They seem to run small. I would order a size up. They also seem to be very bulky. I am using a Zuma Boa boot that is a size larger than the 32's and the Zuma's are still smaller by almost an inch in width and 1/4 inch in length. If this is a level 2 liner... the level one has to be no liner at all. They are some of the most basic cheap foam liners they could make. The 32's boot looked good and seemed to be very well constructed, but I'll keep my Zuma's for a few more years!
Great Basic Soft Boot!
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
Comfortable and reliable these will help you stomp what you want!

Alzheimer's disease often begins with what appears to be simple forgetfulness, but it wreaks much more havoc over time, destroying speech, comprehension, and coordination and causing restlessness and dramatic mood swings. One in three people over the age of 80 will be its victim, and most of us sit back and hope we won't be one of them. The right diet may delay the onset of the disease or lower your risk by as much as 40%. So, isn't a diet change worth it?
1 of 7
You may know these as staples of the famously heart-healthy Mediterranean diet, but recent evidence suggests they can lower the risk of Alzheimer's, too. Eating fatty fish such as salmon, herring, or white tuna once a week may slow cognitive decline by 10%. Omega-3 fatty acids, especially the type known as DHA found in fatty fish appear to be the key. Since high levels of DHA are needed for normal brain development, that makes sense. In addition, omega-3 fatty acids of all varieties — including those found in walnuts, flaxseed, and olive oil — counter inflammation, which may contribute to protein build-up in the brain.

Indianapolis, IN (Sports Network) - Louisville guard Kevin Ware remained in an
Indianapolis hospital Monday morning after undergoing surgery to repair a
broken right leg.
Ware suffered a gruesome compound fracture after he landed awkwardly while
trying to block a shot in the first half of Louisville's eventual 85-63 win
over Duke. He was taken from the court on a stretcher and to Methodist
A two-hour procedure on Sunday night included the insertion of a rod to
stabilize the bone, which had punctured the skin. The bone was re-set and the
wound was closed.
Louisville head coach Rick Pitino stayed in Indianapolis on Sunday night to be
with Ware, who is expected to remain hospitalized until Tuesday.
A timetable has not been set for his return to competition, but the school is
hopeful Ware will be able to travel to Atlanta for the Final Four next
Ware entered Sunday's Midwest Regional final averaging 4.4 points, 1.8
rebounds and 16.7 minutes per game, but was coming off a career-high 11-point
performance in Friday's 77-69 win over Oregon in the Sweet 16.

Irving, TX (Sports Network) - Notre Dame has essentially punched its ticket to
Miami, and the release of the penultimate BCS standings on Sunday indicated
the winner of the SEC Championship Game will likely join the Fighting Irish in
South Beach.
Alabama (11-1) and Georgia (11-1) were both No. 2 and No. 3, respectively, in
the poll last week and remained in the same positions following blowout wins
against rivalry opponents. The pair will square off next Saturday in Atlanta
in the SEC title game in what amounts to a de facto national semifinal.
While the Crimson Tide and Bulldogs still have work to do, the Fighting Irish
finished off their 12-0 regular season with a victory at Southern California
on Saturday night to stay atop the BCS poll.
Notre Dame, which vaulted into the top spot last week thanks to losses by
Kansas State and Oregon, is No. 1 in both human polls and in the computers for
a near perfect .998 BCS average.

1,000 Ways To Die To Air On Spike TV
May 14, 2008 01:01 AM by Joe Reality
Spike TV is set to air one of the most morbid reality TV shows ever. The show is called 1,000 Ways To Die and will air as a two-part special. If it isn't obvious from the title, the show will focus on true stories about actual deaths.
Some of the topics covered on the show will include the effects of a rattlesnake's venom entering a human's bloodstream and the effect of Nitrogen bubbles on the body when first going under water and then going up into the sky. The show will include appearances by forensic experts, pathologists, toxicologists, and herpetologists. Actual death stories will be recreated through acting, colorful narration, and CGI.
Even though Spike TV warns that the show might be slightly disturbing to say the least, Spike also promises to throw in a few laughs. 1,000 Ways To Die was created by Thom Beers, who is also responsible for the Discovery Channel's The Deadliest Catch. 1,000 Ways To Die Part I premieres on Wednesday, May 14 from 11 PM to 11:30 PM ET/PT on Spike TV. 1,000 Ways To Die Part II premieres on Wednesday, May 21 from 11 PM to 11:30 PM ET/PT on Spike TV.

Doing well in school can really pay off, in more ways than one.
For the past three years, Clarkdale High School students have been rewarded for scoring at the proficient and advanced levels on subject area testing.
Each time, they have chosen to go bowling.
Last week, ninth and tenth graders enjoyed the outing. Friday, juniors and seniors enjoyed a field trip to Family Bowl Lanes.
"it's just a privilege to be able to come because, you know, we worked so hard all year round," said student Samantha Haywood. "And it's just fun and a good opportunity to be able to come and be recognized for our hard work.".
Clarkdale High School principal, Cheryl Thomas, says about half of students achieved the high ranking on state tests.
