Associated Press Release
WOODSTOCK, Ga. (AP) -- Members of a north Georgia church say they've been locked out of their congregation amid a dispute involving the pastor.
People who worship at Welcome All Baptist Church in Woodstock say they were unable to attend Easter services. They say they've been told they will be arrested if they are caught trespassing.
WSB-TV reports that a group of church-goers gathered over the weekend near the church, which had a locked access gate a "no trespassing" sign on the front door.
Church members say they voted Pastor Willard Hambrick out of his position amid a dispute over money.
But Hambrick insists that he's still the Welcome All pastor and the people criticizing him are the ones causing problems. Hambrick said the church members who aren't allowed "have been extricated for being unbecoming Christians."

Charleston, SC (Sports Network) - Eight months later, a different tournament
and a different result.
Baylor beat Colorado in the NCAA Tournament last March, but Askia Booker and
Spencer Dinwiddie made sure the Buffaloes gained a small measure of revenge
with a 60-58 victory over the 16th-ranked Bears in Friday's semifinals of
the Charleston Classic.
Booker scored 16 of his 19 points in the first half to help Colorado build a
lead and Dinwiddie made some big plays down the stretch on his way to 11
points, as the Buffs (3-0) withstood some awful free throw shooting to advance
to Sunday's championship game against either Murray State or St. John's.
Pierre Jackson hit two from the line with 19.8 seconds left to pull Baylor
within 59-58 and Booker made only the first of a 1-and-1 chance at the other
end to give the Bears a chance for the win or tie.
A.J. Walton drove to the basket, but was unable to convert a contested layup
and Andre Roberson came up with the rebound with four seconds remaining.
Roberson missed two from the line, but the rebound on the second miss was
batted around and Baylor was given possession out of bounds with exactly one
second left.
In a play remarkably similar to Christian Laettner's winning shot for Duke in
the 1992 NCAA Tournament against Kentucky, the long inbound pass from under
the basket was caught at the opposing foul line by Isaiah Austin. But unlike
Laettner, Austin's turnaround jumper bounced off the rim as time expired.
Cory Jefferson led Baylor (3-1) with 17 points and Jackson, after a 31-point
effort in the Bears' win Thursday against Boston College, managed only 12.
Baylor earned an 80-63 win over the Buffaloes in last year's NCAA Tournament
to advance to the Sweet 16. Brady Heslip hit nine threes in that contest, but
on Friday he was just 1-of-5 from beyond the arc and finished with seven
points overall.
Heslip opened the game with a bucket, but was held scoreless for the rest of a
tight first half. Baylor opened a 14-9 lead and held a 22-17 edge with just
over eight minutes left after a Jackson triple.
Colorado, though, kept it close and scored the final eight points of the half
to grab a 35-30 advantage at the break. Booker hit a trey and another jumper
in the final minute.
The Bears started the second half with a 7-2 run to tie the game, and it
remained close for the remainder of the contest.
Heslip's jumper pulled Baylor within 52-51 with just under six minutes left
and the Bears had a chance for the lead on their next trip. Dinwiddie,
however, forced a turnover then hit a long three. He added another bucket on
Colorado's next possession for a 57-51 advantage with just over four minutes
Baylor trimmed the deficit to three before a Dinwiddie driving layup made it
59-54. Jackson answered with a quick basket, then missed from beyond the arc
with a chance to tie for Baylor after Roberson had missed the front end of a
Only Colorado's dismal effort from the stripe kept Baylor in it. The Buffs
were 4-of-18 overall and twice failed on the front end of 1-and-1's in the
final minute.
Jefferson was perfect on seven field goal attempts for Baylor and grabbed nine
rebounds in defeat. The remaining Baylor starters were a combined 10-of-38
from the floor, including Jackson's 3-for-11 effort ... Austin finished with
eight points and 10 boards ... Jackson scored in double figures for the 12th
straight game ... Roberson finished with seven points and 12 rebounds ... The
Buffs, who left the Big 12 for the Pac-12 after the 2010-11 season, own a
16-10 all-time mark against the Bears.

Until recently, most deals were essentially transactional: A large company purchased technology from a smaller one, commercialized it, then paid royalties. But times have changed. For one thing, the playing field has become more equal. With easier access to money, smaller entities—for example, biotechnology, biomedical, or specialty pharmaceutical companies—are able to bring a product to market themselves. In effect, they're saying, "If you want our product, buy the company—or involve us more intimately in co-development or co-marketing."
Big Pharma is getting the message. "Larger companies are opening themselves up more to the insight contributions of small partners," says David Brinkley, senior vice president, commercial development for Theravance. "Just as these companies have understood the need to integrate functions to come out with a better product, they also realize that there's much to gain by tapping the acquired company's knowledge and wisdom. Integration is key."
This article identifies 10 tips for forging successful partnerships—10 things to keep in mind the next time your company heads down the acquisition or alliance trail.
1 Stay Strategically Aligned Tracy Lefteroff, global managing partner of PricewaterhouseCoopers' life sciences industry services, recalls the case of a large medical device company that embarked on an alliance with a smaller one. Soon after the deal was signed, a violent disagreement erupted between researchers in the smaller company and management of the larger one over marketplace trends and future strategic direction. It did not matter that the researchers had data from their advisory board of world-renowned experts to back up their conclusions; the other side refused to listen and insisted on charting its own course. Eventually, the partnership broke up over these irreconcilable differences.
In the world of partnerships, strategic congruence is next to godliness. Every deal should include a thorough review of each partner's strategic goals and an assessment of how well the partnership will meet those goals. If there's no match, there should be no deal.
Even when there is agreement on strategic goals at the beginning of a project, changing conditions can cause strategic rifts. Robert Wills, PhD, vice president of alliance management for Johnson & Johnson's (J&J's) pharmaceuticals group, recalls one such situation:

text: I am looking to draw an Antelope tag for the fist time in Oregon this year. I have been applying for antelope for 15 years and it looks like this is the year I will draw a tag, and to draw again in Oregon will be likely be 20+ years. I am already feeling pressuse to succeed in my quest for a big buck. I drew a Bighorn Sheep hunt a couple years ago, at times the stress I put on myself to succeed took some of the fun out of hunt. I know antelope can be hunted in other states without a 20 year wait, and is not a once in a lifetime hunt. There is the potential for a big buck if I put the time in and can pass on the smaler ones. After waiting so long I want to make the most of the opportunity, but I have a tendancy to turn my hunting into a job lately. What do you guys do in a situation where you've waited a long time for a certain hunt to keep it fun and not stressfull?

AG058: All Torkoal, No Play
Redirected from All Torkoal, No Play
this wiki
All Torkoal, No Play (Japanese: ハガネの谷を突破せよ!コータスVSハガネール!! Breaking Through the Valley of Steel! Cotoise VS Steelix!!) is the 18th episode of Pokémon: Advanced Challenge.
On their way back to Mauville City, Ash and friends travel through the Valley of Steel, home of many different kinds of Steel Pokémon and a potential shortcut to Mauville City and then Petalburg City. On their way through, they come across a Torkoal being attacked by several Steel Pokémon. After using Pikachu to scare the Pokémon away, the Fire-type hears a noise, also scaring it off. Later, having reunited with Torkoal, Ash and friends become determined to help Torkoal defeat the Steelix that lords over the valley. Will they succeed in cutting through the valley unharmed or will the angry Steel-type block their way?
Episode Plot
The gang goes through a path that will lead them to Mauville City, then to Petalburg City. However, when they arrive, it isn't the Mauville City, but a vast of canyons. A Torkoal is being attacked by two Magnemite and a Skarmory. Ash goes to get Torkoal, but is attacked by Magnemite as well. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, but misses. The Skarmory and Magnemite go away. The gang turns the Torkoal and it is happy, but something else is heard in the distance. The Torkoal runs away.
Team Rocket is traveling in the balloon and spot a Skarmory. Meowth translates that they need to go, but is late when Skarmory cuts the balloon. The gang goes through the canyons and the Magnemite attack them. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, but misses, so the gang goes to hide when they are attacked once more. Max advises May to bring Torchic when Fire beats Steel type Pokémon. Torchic uses Ember, defeating them. The gang hears an explosion - Torkoal is being attacked by three Magemite and a Skarmory.
Ash goes to help, so May offers help with Torchic, but Skitty goes from her Poké Ball. Skitty uses Assist, which turns into String Shot, immobilising the Magnemites. Torchic uses Ember, so the Magnemite flee. Skarmory attacks May and her Pokémon, so Pikachu uses Thunderbolt. Pikachu, Skitty and Torchic go to attack Skarmory, but Torkoal uses Flamethrower, so Sharmory flees. Torkoal is happy to assist, but falls down because it is exhausted.
The gang treats the Torkoal, so it becomes happy. May wonders why Torkoal went instead of staying away from the Magnemite and Skarmory. Brock identifies the place to be the Valley of Steel - home for Steel Pokémon. Ash and May are for the idea to continue, but they hear a sound like before, so Torkoal runs to the source. Brock has noticed that Torkoal was not hurt by just Skarmory and Magnemite, but something else as well. Team Rocket is chased by a Magneton and they are blown away by one of its attacks. The land near a large Steelix which becomes angry near their presence. They polish it, but Steelix uses Iron Tail, blasting them the third time.
Torkoal uses Flamethrower, with Torchic using Ember, so the Magnemite flee. Ash runs, but is caught by Brock when he sees a huge crater. Team Rocket is blown away near the crater, but bounce into it. They see them fall down, but suddenly May falls with Torchic as well. Luckily, she grabs a branch. Magneton arrives and attacks May. Torchic uses Ember, but Magneton evades and uses Thunderbolt on May and Torchic. Torkoal uses Flamethrower, so Magneton retreats. Ash ties a rope to Torkoal and goes after May. Magneton appears again, but Pikachu attacks it, bur misses.
Max, Brock and Pikachu pull and Torkoal attacks the Magneton, scaring it. Ash and May have come to the surface and Torkoal strikes Magneton, blasting it. Magneton is blasted to Steelix and Steelix turns to it, roars and digs. Thhe gang is near the road that should take them to Mauville City, but Steelix blocks their path. Torkoal uses Flamethrower, but Steelix negates it with Sandstorm. Magnemite, Magneton and Skarmory appear as well. Torkoal attacks with Flamethrower, but Steelix negates the attack.
Steelix uses Iron Tail, but Torkoal dodges in time. Torkoal attacks again, hitting Steelix, but with little difference. The other Pokémon strike, but Steelix does not want them to fight Torkoal, so they go away. Steelix fights without fear, but misses. Torkoal uses Flamethrower once more, but with little effect. Steelix digs, so Ash remembers that Flannery's Torkoal used Overheat, so orders the Torkoal as well. Steelix arrives from the ground, so Torkoal attacks with Overheat. The other Pokémon watch as Steelix is pushed. Steelix uses Iron Tail, negating the attack. Steelix is about to attack, but fails and falls down. Steelix stands up and thinks, so Steelix decided to go away.
Ash praises Torkoal, to which it smogs everyone. Ash offers Torkoal to come with them - Torkoal is super happy, knocking Ash out and deciding to come with them.
Featured Pokémon: Camerupt, Numel, Slugma, Torkoal.

Marian Eakins Archaeological Collection
Housed at the Northern California campus library
Consortium member institution of the Tel Gezer Excavation Project
The Marian Eakins Archaeological Collection presents its guests with a window into life in the world of the past. The museum's primary purpose is to preserve and display antiquities from the land of the Bible, especially the ancient Near East as an important aspect of the educational mission of the Seminary. The Collection provides, as it were, pictures to aid in understanding the words of the biblical texts. Although slated to move to the Seminary's new campus in Spring/Summer 2016, the museum is currently located in the Library of the Seminary's Mill Valley Campus. Visitors from the community are welcome.
Among the museum's significant holdings are Greek, Roman, and Near Eastern coins from biblical times, pottery representing over 3,000 years of Near Eastern culture, and glassware from the Roman period. In addition to these and numerous other antiquities, the Collection includes items more recent in date such as Aztec ceramics; Native American mortars, pestles, and arrowheads; and proprietary medicine bottles from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. In addition to providing occasional comparison within displays of ancient materials, these latter artifacts serve the museum's secondary mission to enhance the aesthetic of the campus and create an engaging destination for visitors.
The museum occasionally displays objects on loan from other collections, including items owned by local residents. Such exhibits have featured Native California basketry, ancient Coptic fabrics, coins of the first seventeen Roman emperors, and Native American pottery from the southwestern United States.
In 1973, ken eakins, then professor of archaeology and Old Testament, began to acquire antiquities from the ancient Near East for a seminary collection to be used primarily in the classroom. His wife, Marian, who held a degree in anthropology from the University of California, Berkeley, and who was a member of the Joint Archaeological Expedition to Tell el-Hesi, Israel, was appointed the first curator of these items in 1986. As curator, she initiated the public display of material and created the first exhibits. Following Marian's death in 1990, the Seminary trustees named the growing collection in her memory and established an endowment fund for its support.

The Marine Corps has recovered an Amphibious Assault Vehicle lost in the New River earlier this week, a military spokesman said Thursday.
The AAV was submerged Monday at around 4:45 p.m. in an unspecified location in the river. The 29-ton track vehicle was recovered at 2 p.m. Wednesday and transported to Camp Lejeune, said 2nd Lt. Adam Flores, a public affairs officer with 2nd Marine Division.
He classified the incident as an accident and said the matter remains under investigation.
There were no reported injuries. The vehicle, which has a crew of at least three, sank during training operations when its crew failed to follow procedures, according to a military official familiar with the situation who asked not to be identified because he was not authorized to speak publicly about the matter.
The AAV and similar vehicles are used to land troops and their equipment in amphibious operations, according to information from U.S. Combat Systems, the vehicle�s manufacturer.

The US Affordable Care Act may not stand in its current form, but one element of it will continue to be an important trend in US healthcare—accountable care organizations (ACOs). ACOs have gained greater visibility because of their inclusion as part of a CMS Medicare initiative in the law. However, private insurance companies have been actively pursuing ACOs independent of any governmental mandate. Because ACOs are being pursued by both government and private payers, it is a trend that will have staying power independent of the legal fate of the healthcare law. It is also a trend that could have significant pricing and marketing implications for pharmaceutical and medical device companies selling products in the United States.
The ACO concept
The ACO model aims to improve quality of patient care while containing overall cost. Private or government insurers enter into contracts with healthcare provider networks (the ACOs) to deliver care for a given patient group at a fixed budget, while still delivering quality care as measured by a number of performance metrics. These arrangements include some kind of shared risk (or gain) between the insurer and the ACO for meeting an agreed-upon budget that covers the entire care for the defined population of patients. Quite simply, if the ACO can manage to squeeze efficiencies and stay under the contractual budget then they stand to make a profit. If the ACO exceeds the annual budget (depending on the contract) they may be liable for paying a portion of the budget overrun.While some may perceive ACOs to be an initiative driven by CMS, the truth is actually more nuanced. It is true that some of the first ACOs were pilot programs introduced by CMS, such as the Physician Group Practice Demonstration (introduced in 2005). However, in recent years private insurers have taken this idea and made it their own. In fact, the authors at CMS who wrote the ACO guidelines under the Affordable Care Act had to alter their final rules (issued in October 2011) after existing ACOs complained that the quality metrics were too different from those already in use as part of private managed care organization (MCO) agreements. So while CMS may have started the ACO trend, they are no longer the sole driver of development.

I really don't see a single "good" win on their resume so far. They did beat Oregon earlier in the year which looked to be a good win at the time - but since then Oregon has kinda disappeared. While they are oh-fer in the conference season so far - two of the 4 games have been against Kansas - the other 2 at CU and hosting a pretty decent Baylor team.
However, they only have one player averaging double-figures in scoring - Maric. As long as we don't allow him to score 30+ on us (ugh), I'm not worried about them offensively - especially with our solid defensive play.
The Huskers don't give up a ton of points though. But in their 6 losses, 4 of of those teams got to 70+ on them and another was at 69. Only once did Nebraska win a game (Oregon in overtime) when they allowed over 70.
Both teams are pretty even in rebounds and turnovers per game - we have a slight edge in both. They're shooting better from the field, however we're better from the free-throw line.
Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing Alex get the start Saturday...for a few reasons. His defense is better to start. Plus, I'd like to see us get physical with Maric early on to see if we can frustrate him and force him into a foul or two early. That would most likely cause us to get a foul or two and I'd much rather have AT in foul trouble than Jiri - especially with our best offensive weapon likely out (Wes) - we need our 3rd best scoring option not in foul trouble.
I also think giving AT the nod would really light a fire under Jiri. He's got something to prove. Generally, Maric has owned Jiri. Partially because Jiri has gotten into foul trouble early almost every time he's faces Maric and partially because Maric is very tough to defend. In a coupe games though - Jiri has done pretty well scoring on him and I think we need that to win.
I think last year we used Cory J to help defend Maric in Ames and surprisingly - he did a pretty decent job in that one...could see some of that again.
Of course, having Haluska and Lee continue to step up for us would certainly go a long ways toward a W.
I really think this is a game we should win. I'm certainly not feeling great about it with Wes being out and it being a conference road game - but the Huskers are just not a very good team and are on a 4 game road skid - looking to end that tonight against a hapless Mizzu team (I think they will).
I just hope we don't allow Nebraska to get right against us in Lincoln.
wes was in a boot today and it sounded from coach Mac last night that there is a very slim chance that he will play, idk if i like our chances on the road without our best player.
is this game on tv? i have drill and dont think i will be able to watch it.. so i want to record it on my dvr
Iowa State: Anyone who's a true college basketball fan needs to see a game at Hilton Coliseum. Nice is in the DNA of Iowans and the fans here are particularly gracious -- even when the home team loses but gives a great effort, they are appreciative.
ESPN.com picked Hilton Coliseum as the "Hot Arena" in the Big 12...coaches in the league noted that, "regardless of talent, the Cyclones have a home court like no other."
Who is going to start at the 2 on Saturday if Wes cant go?
"Be the Ball"
Ty Webb
Road game for us... Probably not a HEALTHY Wes... Maric....
3 reasons I would be shocked if we win.
"Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing Alex get the start Saturday...for a few reasons. His defense is better to start. Plus, I'd like to see us get physical with Maric early on to see if we can frustrate him and force him into a foul or two early. That would most likely cause us to get a foul or two and I'd much rather have AT in foul trouble than Jiri - especially with our best offensive weapon likely out (Wes) - we need our 3rd best scoring option not in foul trouble."
that is a very good point, but you could argue Jiri being on the bench at the start isn't much different than if he gets fouls later. (total time on the bench)
So being in foul trouble isnt much different than if you protect him by keeping him on the bench.
In last year's win at Nebraska, Ross Marsden came in and played Maric ok in the second half. Possibly Thompson could fill that roll. I would start Hubalek, though. Also, if Wesley can't play, do you start Cam Lee or Sean Haluska?
I'm ready for Maric to leave. Seems like he always has a career day against us.
It's a game we could win but on the road I still would be more surprised to see us win.
I would agree - it's not a sure win but it's a should win. We're going to suffer more of those long scoring droughts without Wesley but I think we have enough to get us by in Lincoln.
Regarding Lee...
Up until the Minnesota game where I did the coach for a day activities, I hadn't really had any reason to be impressed with Lee but that day changed my thinking drastically. I really think the kid has some talent and he's good at handling the ball and playing D. Of course watching him in practice for one day is different than expecting things on the court but he really looked to have some natural talent that day in practice and I've yet to hear anything but praise from those in the know. He appears to want to have a place on the floor and I really think he's going to continue to get more and more minutes as he develops some offensive ambitions. I think the Nebraska game could really be a game that he shines and builds on last night's success.
Sometimes it is the people who no one imagines anything of who do the things that no one can imagine.

We scored 42 points last night with him on the bench. There is no reason we should not at least make this a game on Saturday. We just need Sean, CJ and Cameron to step it up while he is on the bench.
I hear what you're saying ajk...I just want us to get inside Maric's head from the start and AT gives us the best chances to do that.

I'd venture to guess Haluska but Lee will certainly see a lot of minutes. Or I could see Garrett getting his first start with him and Petey manning the guard spots at the beginning.
We've had both of them in the game more than onces this season.
I would like to see Garrett start. I realize that he is a Freshman and we are on the road, but he brings some things to the table that none of our other guards do. Garrett can penetrate to the hoop and dish it out. He is a bit out of control at times, but he is a nice spark.
I have always dogged Haluska, but he does go hard and play good defense. On hte road in hte Big 12, we may want an upper classman in there. Regardless, we should see a lot of PT for those guys.
Without a healthy Wesley, I don't know how anybody can caulk this game up as a win. Yeah we blew up in the second half against CU, but they are awful. I mean just awful.
We will find out how good they are when they play missouri If they handle missouri well like a blow out than we may have a tough time down there. But if Missouri with all there problems plays Neb really well than i think we have a good chance @ NEB.
Tonight's husker game against mizzou will probably have a carryover effect for our game this weekend. If NE can halt their losing streak against a short-handed mizzou team, we will have our hands full with them. We have won 3 out of the last 4 regular season games against them, but Maric seems to pick our games to shine in. He has averaged 26.5 with highs of 36 & 37 against us. He also shot well in the other 2, but limiting his touches kept him to 13 & 20.
If Mizzou successfully defends their court tonight, Doc might very well have trouble getting his team ready on Sat. In either case, Petey needs to be up to the challenge of being hounded all night by NU's undersized PG. It could be another ugly game in terms of offensive flow.

The Washington Navy Yard is the U.S. Navy's oldest shore establishment, in operation since the first decade of the 19th century. It evolved from a shipbuilding center to an ordnance plant and then to the ceremonial and administrative center for the Navy. The yard is home to the Chief of Naval Operations and is also headquarters for the Naval Historical Center and numerous naval commands. The land was purchased under an act of 23 July 1798, with two additional lots being purchased in 1801. The Washington Navy Yard was established on 2 October 1799, the date the property was transferred to the Navy. The yard was built under the direction of Benjamin Stoddert, the first Secretary of the Navy, under the supervision of the yard's first commandant, Commodore Thomas Tingey, who would serve in that capacity for 29 years.
The original boundaries that were established in 1800, along 9th and M Streets Southeast, are still marked by a white brick wall that surrounds the Navy Yard on the north and east sides. The north wall of the yard was built in 1809 along with a guard house. After the fire of 1814, Commodore Tingey recommended that the height of the eastern wall be increased to ten feet, since along with the fire, looting by the local populace took its toll.Read more: http://www.history.navy.mil/faqs/faq52-1.htm

Stronger, lighter, more attractive. The Profile Design Cobra S Stem hits the trifecta. The Cobra S is part of a growing trend -- carbon-wrapped aluminum. They start with a 3-D forged 7050 aluminum stem and wrap carbon-fiber cloth over it and add resin. The result is a great stem that has rigidity of carbon-fiber and the light weight of aluminum, or vice versa.
As with their Aris, Profile offers the Cobra S in sizes you don't see other places. The size run begins at 80mm length and moves up in 10mm increments to 120mm. The stem angle is 84°/96°.
The faceplate is forged 7050 aluminum. All the bolts are made from stainless steel. The stem works with 31.8mm diameter handlebars; the clamp width is 40mm. The rear clamp height is 40mm. It comes in 31.8mm diameter; a reduction shim for those who are still using a bike with a 1" steerer. The Profile Design Cobra S Stem is offered in two colors -- high gloss Carbon and White.

(WUSA) -- Have you seen all those infomercials touting one fitness system or another? Or, maybe your girlfriend SWEARS by a cross-training group she just joined. All good ways to help you get in shape. But some workout crazes can be dangerous to people without the right level of fitness.
Sonja Nesbit of Washington, D.C. is one such example. She received a 'daily deal' email offering an early-morning fitness boot camp at a low price.
Sonja started the boot camp last April, and during the fourth session, suffered a painful meniscus tear in her knee.
Sonja describes what happened. "I was doing an exercise where you lunge forward and grab things. It works on your quads and your calves and it did not go right for me. I knew right away when I felt a burning in my knee."
"I had to have arthroscopic knee surgery to repair the meniscus tear. I can't even begin to think about how much money I spent fixing my knee as opposed to perhaps getting involved in that boot camp deal that I found. One of the web specials that come to your computer every single day; not such a good deal at the end of the day," she says.
Not to mention being sidelined by an injury that left Sonja unable to work out at all, and gaining back the weight she wanted to lose.
Arlington, Virginia orthopedic surgeon Dr. Derek Ochiai says he is seeing more cases of overuse injures, as well as knee, hip and back problems among novices who try to embrace the latest workout trends, including P-90X, Cross-Fit and Insanity.
Dr. Ochia says, "A lot of these programs are very intense and they're actually meant for people who are already in shape. It is not necessarily for somebody who is leading a very sedentary life to jump into."
Dr. Ochiai says less physically-fit people can certainly try the workouts, but start at a beginner level.
He cautions people working out at home, "Just because it's on a TV screen doesn't mean you have to do what the person on the screen is saying right then. You can ease into it, you don't have to do all the reps that you're seeing the person on TV do, you can do less.
"(Another) danger is people who do an exercise for a little bit of time, lose interest, do it again, then lose interest. That stop-start can really set you up for injury. When you start-up again, you are thinking you're at the same level as when you stopped doing it, which could've been 4, 6, 8, 12 weeks prior. And you've actually lost some ground. If you go right back to the level of workout you were at before, then you can get injured."
But even conditioned athletes can get hurt when they try a new trend. Michael Hmara of Sprigfield, Virginia, is an avid runner who decided to switch from traditional running shoes to Vibram FiveFingers, minimalist footwear that emulates running barefoot. The idea is to change the way the foot strikes from the heel to the mid and fore-foot, eliminating jarring and joint pain. But it was just the opposite for Michael, even though he broke in the five-toed shoes over time.
Hmara says, "I gave it about four months, just walking in them everywhere, taking my time, not forcing the issue. The more I started to run, the more my back started to hurt, and it was like I got to the point where I was just like 'I'm done.' I want to run , but I don't want the pain. So I stopped and went back to a normal shoe and it was perfectly fine."
On its website, the maker of Vibram FiveFingers shoes says some initial discomfort isn't unusual, depending on foot type and running style. But if the pain persists, they say stop using the shoe.
So, how do you embrace a new workout trend safely?
Sports medicine experts offer this advice:
Build up your cardiovascular fitness first. Taking power walks may not seem as exciting as P90 X, but they will get your heart pumping.
As Dr. Ochiai mentioned, work up to repetitions and intensity. Squats, lunges, upper body and core work are all great, but an unconditioned body risks injury. Don't immediately try to match the level of the instructor in the video, or the person running your boot camp.
Consider investing in one session with a personal trainer, who can take you through the gym and set up an individualized workout that fits your fitness level.

Thanks to an anonymous DtL reader and Miri at Nadal News for tipping me off to this video of the ATP baller boys discussing their fave films of all time.
So what was tops on the lists? Gladiator. No, seriously. I'm thinking it must be all that sweaty man-on-man action...at least that's why I love it. Oh, and a swarthy Russell Crowe working the Caesar cut. Hawtness.
Another shockeratti? Roger Federer loves the Rambo series and Dirty Dancing. I know, I know.
And what does Rafael Nadal like? Apparently he has too many faves - another typical non-answer, no?

VIDEO VAULT: Some boys dream of being a gladiator while one likes to dirty dance

Yay! One of my favorite humans in all the world, one of my best friends--the guy who taught me to play tennis, has a son!

Alright, sorry to go OT. I'm just so happy!!! :D
What is WRONG with these idiot ballers? The greatest movie ever made is Citizen Kane.

Rafa is very guarded and private. He really doesn't like to reveal much. You only get to know him a bit by different bits of interviews and that's not much!ReplyDelete
natch: Yay to your friend!!! Babies abound!!!ReplyDelete
*tries smoking cigar*
anon: true, hence the "typical non-answer" part!
Thanks, Richie! natch very, VERY happy. They picked a normal name (no stupid spelling, either), too. *smiles more*ReplyDelete
Sorry about the cigar. I forgot I laced a couple for Rafa. You must have gotten one of his. ;)
- johanneApril 15, 2009 at 1:47 PM
Braveheart is peppered in there too. More sweaty man-on-man action for the ballers.ReplyDelete
I f-ing LOVE that Fed listed "Top Gun" and "Dirty Dancing" (classic!) and then goes on to say he "likes action films." LOL! He cracks me up!! :)
Rafa seems to be laughing off the question, like "Whatever, let's move it along." HA!
- talulah21April 15, 2009 at 2:14 PM
LOL, do you think maybe 'dirty dancing' was a slip of the tongue by fed? Haha! Classic.ReplyDelete
Brownie points to Igor, Gilles (duh, lol) and to Murray for fangirling Will Ferrell.
Dirty dancing for Fed, so funny!ReplyDelete
Tsonga really says gladiator so sexy with that french accent. I really love accents :)
Rambos, James Bond, Top Gun... Dirty Dancing. - Classic.ReplyDelete
Reckon that's where he got his ballerina moves? xD
Andreev and Ljubicic seem to be the only ones who watch good cinema.
Rafa has often mentioned "Gladiator" as being his favorite movie, I wonder why he didn't say so here?ReplyDelete
Roger loves Dirty Dancing, lol.
I had to love how Roger said he like Action movies, but listed Dirty Dancing?.ReplyDelete
Does anyone think the ATP had a movie night the day before? Showing Braveheart and Gladiator of course...
Why does Sam Querrey piss me off everytime he comes up in these Q&A sessions, same with Mardy Fish?ReplyDelete
Roger I love you but Dirty Dancing is not an action film.(Why do I get the feeling that he listens to ABBA?)lol
*Imagines Roger dancing to Dancing Queen*

Gladiator's only redeeming feature is Joaquin Phoenix. Though he is quite a big redeeming feature.ReplyDelete
HAAAAAA! I love how Roger thinks Dirty Dancing is an action movie! What about Ghost and Pretty Woman, Fed? There was tons of good action in those. . .sigh. . .he' such a dork.ReplyDelete
Ivan Ljubicic is obviously the intellectual of the bunch - I saw the food video the ATP did and he gave quite a long and thoughful answer to that one, too.
Love how Sam Querrey talks about Happy Gilmore like it's Fellini. . .

you have something against happy guys who like comedies?

Sara the same thing happens to me with Sam and sometimes Mardy but more Sam. Maybe it's becaust he reminds me of stoned high school boys trying too hard. One of the many reasons high school is not an okay experience.ReplyDelete
Anon if I had something against happy guys who like comedies I wouldn't be married.
P.S. I want to do Tsonga.
OMG - Guilty Pleasure Alert: I have a fondness for ABBA. It's true! And I may, MAY, have danced a time or two to Dancing Queen. So I guess Fed and I have more in common than just a love of preppy fashion. Eeks.ReplyDelete
But does my Gay Card get me out of it? P-P-P-Please??! Or maybe more like it explains it. Ugh.
*goes back inside closet*
*secretly listens to ABBA on iPod*
Did they like round up all the tennis players at some point and force them to watch a special screening of Gladiator or what?! It looks like that's the only movie they've ever seen....ReplyDelete
Rich there is absolutely NO shame in being an ABBA fan. I myself am a fan. It takes a special person to appreciate and I just started getting that vibe from Roger.ReplyDelete
*happy sigh*
The list of ABBA fans only keeps growing: Rich, Roger, me, Freddie ljungberg(see link)
P.S. Joan I'm glad you agree with me but hands off. I claimed the Frenchies a long time ago.lol

I don't know but somehow my gaydar went up (again) at the mention of Dirty Dancing. I'm sorry Fed fans but I get that vibe from him sometimes. *giggles*ReplyDelete
Oh yes Freddie! That makes the the ABBA love SO worth it. Oh, and Sara, Fed, and anonymous person. C'mon, the more the merrier people!ReplyDelete
*listens to ABBA out and proudly*
LOL I just randomly ask if anyone has seen this vid on YouTube and BAM!!! A blog about it!!!!! And I forgot to put my name down. This makes my day!!!! Unless you weren't able to or just didn't watch movies growing up, everyone has to have a favorite movie!!! I swear Rafa's horrible English limits him from fully answering questions. He should work on that on his downtime. This is too cool. LOLReplyDelete

Dirty Dancing is an action movie... just not that kind of action movie.ReplyDelete
*joins the ABBA fansquad*ReplyDelete
OK, I'll say it now: I love Abba, I love Dirty Dancing, and I effing love Gladiator, and MAN I'm so in love with Russell Crowe. AND I'M NOT ASHAMED OF IT!! *LOL*
The fact that Fed loves all those cheesy 80's movies is so adorable to me. Flashdance, anyone??
Sam weirds me out going on and on about Happy Gilmore. What's with this guy?
Ivan cleary is the intellectual one there. Kudos.
And can Rafa PLEASE give a FRIGGIN' answer to that simple question??? Just mention any film you particularly liked, dammit - it's not like it could be the wrong answer (unless it's Happy Gilmore, hee hee). ;-P
Seriously, Gladiator!? It's a great movie but I really wish these guys would think outside of the box. Have they never heard of Ben-Hur? Blows Gladiator out of the water any day!ReplyDelete
Rich: I'm going to come out too... I absolutely LOVE Abba and have danced to them on several occasions. *joins dance party*ReplyDelete
Sonja: I also love Gladiator and Russell Crowe and I refuse to be ashamed of it anymore!
Phew. Glad to have put it all out there...
ABBA rules!!ReplyDelete

I have no suggestions for destination, just thinking about the scheduling. I'd like to do a ride but I'd also like to start the meet up while there's still daylight for the gathering. Say maybe rally somewhere at 10:30 for coffee, leave at 11:00 sharp for the ride, then meet up at 1:00pm for the gathering at the Nick? Don't want to start the ride too early but also don't want to start the gathering too late. There were a good few folks there last year without bikes or who came late.Scott
I also live in Puyallup.
I'm waiting on a new clutch from Vince now, also my shifter keeps falling off. Need to get that figured out but should be up and ready soon. Keep us posted.
I'm always willing to ride most days

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) -- Spending time with our families is what we cherish most this Thanksgiving holiday.
But tonight, roughly 500 of the littlest Arkansans don't have that. They are in foster care, up for adoption, just waiting patiently for someone to bring them home.
One group is too little to fully understand their circumstances. 4-year-old I'Zayah, 3-year-old Lance, and 9-month-old Zireeyah just want to play.
"Oh my gosh, where do I start?" says DHS adoption specialist Monica Spencer. "They are a wonderful group of kids, so nice to be around, so energetic."
Indeed, they are energetic and full of love for each other. Again, too young to comprehend that they have no mom, no dad, and no family to call their own.
"They've been in the system over a year, and they came into the system due to neglect," explains Spencer.
Neglect is a word they are too little to even grasp, but that's what happened to a happy and lovable 4-year-old who loves tractors and trucks, a 3-year-old who loves superheroes and music, and a 9-month-old baby girl who has been in the system since birth. DHS wants them reunited.
"Currently they are in separate homes," Spencer says. "The youngest two were placed together. The older is in a different home. We think it's very important for them to remain together, to be in a family unit where they can get that love and nurturing they need."
So this thanksgiving, it is pumpkin pie together, just the three of them gathered around the table until someone out there sees their story, opens their hearts, and brings them home.
"They should be with a family that loves them unconditionally during this holiday season," says Spencer.
If you'd like more information on I'Zayah, Lance and Zireeyah or any of the children we've featured, click on the Arkansas Department of Human Services adoption website.
And a big thanks to the Wonder Place for allowing the kids free admission and free reign once inside! They clearly had so much fun.

Army and navy you love seeing in misery?
Before you ask why I'm posting here, I support both Bama & LSU. My daughter was set to go to LSU but died in an auto accident during freshman orientation in 2010.
As much as I LOVE to AwBarn in pain (personal reasons) those years BabaLama was floundering were so satisfying. I wanted to see them get the Death Penalty with the Memphis BabaLama mafia getting caught with their hands in the cookie jar....
Have any of you remember seeing the listing of NCAA recruiting violations and the offenders listed in order of offenses? Yep, same two, #1 and #2.... LSU was not even on the list if I remember correctly...

Double stars of .05 arc seconds are easily split and Mars and Jupiter are phenominal to say the least.
Wow that's some really good glass there lol.

It would be great if Rohr on astro-foren were to test a handful of non-cherry-picked Istar lenses. For me, that would establish quickly whether the goodwill is earned or just derived from "clubiness" that follows every brand, good or bad. It would also give an idea how these lenses stack up to other brands whose lenses have already been tested.
The large (6" and larger) Chinese achormatic optics tested thus far on astro-foren haven't been very good. This is why I think the absence of similarly derived data for these optics gives reason to pause. It would be a huge "win" for Istar if scopes already in users hands (not hand picked examples) were tested in that neutral context and shown to be exceptionally high in figure quality. Conversely, if the test results looked a lot like the other big Chinese achromats tested on the site, it could be problematic for the business. I'll put it another way: if there were one or two actual-customer-owned Istar scopes tested on astro-foren and they were shown to be in the neighborhood of 1/6 wave or better, I would buy an Istar tomorrow. If instead they look more like the DKD and other large China acromatic optics tested on the site (a little over 1/3 wave) I'd have zero interest in owning one at any price.

Pay no attention to where this or that is made, we live in a world of stuff being made everywhere. Istar has their own factory making their own stuff. Istar service and communication is first rate, except when they post anything

They are not his opinions as he has never used one. He is using conjecture to cast doubt upon a fine product, big difference.
Posted 03 April 2013 - 01:12 PM
It is not opinion that the large Chinese-made achromatic lenses tested on astro-foren using these standardized methods have been relatively poor in quality; below that which I would accept as a good quality optic. That, too, is FACT.
Here is the menu of astro-foren.de test reports:
Here are examples of poor quality large Chinese achromatic optics:
Here is the DKD website:
Here is Istar's webpage for optical groups:
Here's a DKD lens with the accompanying "test report" (scroll down):
Here is an Istar "test report":
It is not opinion that they look to be quite similar in parameters and presentation. That is a FACT, too.
Now every DKD optic that shipped with telescopes tested on astro-foren.de was accompanied by a similar test report, yet the actual figure quality of the optic when tested more rigorously wasn't consistent with that comforting report.
Therefore because we have no non-anecdotal evidence of high quality large Chinese achromatic optics, and do have some neutral, non-anecdotal evidence of large Chinese achromatic optics (shipped with glowing "test reports" no less) with poor optics, it is reasonable to proceed with caution and not be too hasty to accept anecdotal opinions from those who have drunk the kool-aid...er...I mean offered only pride of ownership endorsements rather than real data.
But hey, it's your money. I do have a question for the Istar owners. That ring on the front of the objective on which the focal length, aperture and company name are painted - can that be threaded off the front of the cell or is it glued on? I'd like to see the cell with the nameplate removed. Thanks!
Lastly, Istar hasn't helped itself among more skeptical and careful potential customers. It was Istar's principal to played "hide the banana" with the FACT of Chinese origin for Istar's lenses very early in the game. You see, I just want the FACTS, not the fanboism. A couple of 1/6 wave Istar objectives on good 'ol astro-foren, and I'd not only lose my skepticism but also become a customer. But as thing stand, a bunch of club members pumping glass they already bought, who display a severe case of "need to believe" doesn't cut it in my book.
What's the harm in wanting some FACTS? Heck, I'll pay to have telescopemullet's objective shipped to Rohr for testing and then back to him.

You know, this is one comment/attitude that I have seen presented here quite a few times (and not just related to a single vendor/thing...) that I just can't agree with; the whole "this person doesn't own/hasn't used so is in no position to say anything". *Everyone* is in a position to share things here, be it personal experience first hand, or observations from afar.
Of course, I *AM* an IStar owner and so by your own position on this, you shouldn't have any problems with me sharing my experience!
I'll start with saying that Jim has hit on a lot of it already (and has things pretty clearly laid out). I'll add my own experiences and other information separately.

China is a strange company of several sources.
When visiting some I was surprised to see the catalog of OTA in a room and some special orders at the corner, 8, 9, 10" and more.
You know that this is mass production and into the lots there are good ones.
Having got a problem with the 1st 150 showing spikes at high power the second one was without spikes and a little better in acuracy.
The bulletin is what it is, it is always possible to perfom a roddier on by yourself in order to be confortable. I did.
This is not the initial bulletin but the acuracy remains above the minimum required.
A L/4 PTV for the refractor equals a L/8 reflector on glass surface. The strehl given on the website is what can be expected and there is it seems at the receipt a polarimetric light test to see internal stressing of the glasses.
This is not may be a DGO but this works. The 150mm tool gave me images of Mars and Venus that didn't get mostly.
Jim reported the importance of the optic elevation to keep less seeing locally from ground. Absolutly right.
With the one way light into tube there is a gain with internal air currents.
Products are not the more exceptionnal optics to find but this works more than honestly. Better than the synta line.
Doublets are engraved on the front, not a stick glued on the front.
I dismounted the doublet from the cell to see how it is installed/ very well, not pinched, well spaced, diametrally spaced, all surfaces FMC. Easy to maintain and to collimate.
I improved the assembly with the installation of 6 screw helping to collimate the lenses together for avoiding any shift.
People using these doublets on the sun found them very correct in Halpha, me on Mars and Venus.
Posted 03 April 2013 - 03:21 PM
It would be a membership organization in which, upon joining, members submit a list of their optics that they own and information about acquisition for compilation into a confidential database.
The organization would then select and contact members to provide free testing of their optics so as to get a random or representative sample of vendors without having to front the money for purchases.
Members would have log-ins for access to the complete test database.
Additionally the organization could purchase optics anonymously for testing and then offer them for auction to members after testing to recoup the purchase money.
A suitable incentive structure to get members to pay sufficient membership fees to support this would be necessary.
Sort of a pipe dream, I know. But such a thing might be workable.
Posted 03 April 2013 - 03:45 PM
if they don't produce quality telescopes we won't buy.
Anybody can say it's great but now we would know it's great.Who do you know that would have the skills and time to
do the test on so many scopes? De Lorme
Posted 03 April 2013 - 04:01 PM
Not had much time to do much testing with mine, but what I did see, Jupiter and a few double stars
including Sirius B looked very nice.

If I want to invest 2 to3k on a scope I sure want to know ahead of time that I am buying a good quality product regardless of who made it.
Its a shame someone had to get up on the wrong side of the bed and jump on another CN member. Totally uncalled for especially when he does not even know what another person has knowledge of. Just my opinion Thank you

DUNDALK, Md. (AP) -- Baltimore County police say a woman was hospitalized after being attacked by her pit bulls, and police had to shoot one of the dogs.

Tricky golf course stumps Xu at state
- Details
- Published on Wednesday, 21 November 2012 00:00
- Written by Pete Borello - Staff email@example.com
Photo By:
It didn't take Nancy Xu long to realize what she was up against at Red Hill Country Club, site of last week's CIF Girls State Golf Championships.
On the par-4 second hole, the St. Francis High junior shot a nine.
"It was a bit of a rough day," said Xu, who tied for 33rd with an 88. "I wasn't expecting the course to be that hard."
Her Nov. 13 round included seven pars, and she didn't bag a birdie on the challenging course.
"I couldn't feel comfortable with the narrow fairways," said Xu, who had never before played the course in Rancho Cucamonga. "The greens were super speedy and sloped, and it was hard to make putts."
The NorCal champ shot a 45 on the front nine and a 43 on the backside. Xu said her best hole of the day was No. 1, which she parred by draining a 6-foot putt.
Asked to evaluate Xu's round, St. Francis coach Phil Marrone said, "Nancy did OK. She hit the ball pretty good for the most part but struggled a bit with the greens. Red Hill is a good course, but it's sneaky-tricky. "
Xu vowed to learn from the experience.
"It tells me where I need to improve and what I need to do to get to the next level," she said. "I have to adapt to the greens on these challenging courses."
This marked Xu's first time at state, which included 54 players this year.

Vanilla Pods
Sourced from around the world, we offer Vanilla pods from 7 origins and are perfect for use in cakes, desserts and other culinary applications. Aromatic seeds inside the pod can be scraped out to add a unique flavour to custards, ice creams, creams and other sauces. So why not enhance the flavour of a variety of foods and buy online today!
Madagascan Vanilla
Madagascan vanilla is known for its floral and fruity flavours. Produced in Madagascar and the neighbouring islands located in the Indian ocean, these pure pods are derived from the vanilla planifolia plant – a species of vanilla orchid. Our range of Madagascan vanilla beans are sourced from the Sambava region and are approximately 11–20 cm long. These pods have a rich, full-bodied creamy flavour for use in a number of culinary applications. As well as supplying vanilla for home cooking, we also offer retail packages and wholesale quantities– ideal for food stores, market stalls and delis.
Indian Vanilla
The quality of India's vanilla pods has led them to become a major grower in the industry. Considered to be on par with Madagascan varieties, Indian vanilla beans are cured for 5–6 months for a distinct aroma and flavour and characterised by a full-bodied woody flavour with chocolate overtones. They are also grown organically and their large size means they contain an abundance of seeds, perfect for whipping up some marshmallows or cupcakes.
Tahitian Vanilla
Grown and cured to perfection in French Polynesia, Tahitian vanilla features deep brown, oily pods with fruity and floral overtones. As Tahitian vanilla is so delicate, their liquorice style flavour is perfect for use in culinary applications where heating is not required such as fruit based desserts and ice creams. The subtle aroma also makes Tahitian beans great for use in body products, including lotions and soaps.

Mexican Vanilla
Ugandan Vanilla

I received it and it was missing parts and looked like someone had put it together, dropped it down the stairs, and sent it back without a few parts and without one of the instruction booklets.
So I talked with the vendor I bought it from, sent it back and they sent me another one which I received today.
This one has all the parts, but it too looks like it was dropped. The magnetic ring that holds the polar alignment scope on has come unglued and is not attached to the alignment scope, and there are several minor gashes in the various metal bits.
The vendor I bought from is *very* reputable and everyone here knows them. I'm sure it's not in any way their fault. I'm quite sure they'd take it back, but I don't want to try for a third one, I'm going to keep this one.
But I'm curious if others have had this problem with the travel system?

One of the comments on my rant about Windows 8 suggested this might be a good thing for desktop Linux. I just don't see it myself. The only people I know who run desktop Linux are techies or immediate family members of techies. I don't see this changing any time soon. Why? The same reasons that have been used for years…
I know there are counter arguments to all these points (many involving The Cloud no doubt) and in making them you will be preaching to the converted. I'm writing this on a PC running Fedora 16. The point is, as much as I hate Windows 8 and it's bipolar interface, I don't see it having any affect on the desktop landscape.
The biggest threat to Microsoft in recent years has been iOS and Android on mobile devices. MS has failed in the phone and tablet market. If Windows 8 starts getting a reasonable market share on mobile devices, Microsoft may reign supreme again. If not, they will be consigned to the desktop, which is not a terrible fate. People keep predicting the death of the desktop and laptop, but I don't know anyone who has completely binned their desktop/laptop in favor of a fondle-slab or phone… Yet…
So we are left in this depressing position where Windows 8 sucks and we are all going to use it (directly or indirectly). My alter-ego, Captain Support, will be called upon to rescue friends and family using Windows 8, so I'm going to have to use it, even though I don't use Windows myself.
Update: Just read this. Seems I'm just afraid of change. Funny. I didn't feel afraid of change when I moved from GNOME2 to GNOME3. In fact, I seem to remember writing that I liked the change. I think people are afraid of changing to something crap.
