This question already has an answer here:
I symbolized a parcel shapefile in ArcGIS 10 with about 2 dozen different colors. I need to use this in ArcGIS 9.3 as well, so I saved it as a .lyr file. This works fine in 10. But when I go to 9.3, I can add the shapefile, but not the .lyr file, or import it for symbolization (geometry doesn't match error). Is there a way to make a .lyr file in 10 so that 9 will recognize it? The .lyr file comes from the same shapefile, so I don't know why it wouldn't recognize it. I want to use this symbolization for a half dozen shapefiles a/o feature classes, so really don't want to manually recreate it. Thanks.

Applebee's hours of operation, and when does Applebee's close? (or when does Applebee's open? if you're a loser), is often googled by googlers with the only answer being an inconclusive and a bit sassy response from "Cha-Cha" or WikiAnswers about how they're all franchises and thus have different hours at each location blah blah and you should eat a salad instead.
Well now you can tell those rabbit food pushing fuckos that, even though Applebee's is a franchise and hours may vary from location to location, the vast majority of Applebee's locations have a regular system of hours.
If the Applebee's is not inside of a shopping mall, they will be open,
11:00am - 11:00pm Monday - Thursday
11:00am to 12:00am Friday - Sunday

Lisa Vanderpump has taken it upon herself to show everyone just how nasty her "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" co-star Brandi Glanville's mouth can get. In her latest Bravo blog entry, posted on Monday, March 10, Lisa revealed that during the group's final party, Brandi actually yelled an obscenity at her.
Lisa said that both Brandi and Yolanda Foster's behavior at the party was too much for her to take.
"After an arduous two-and-a-half hours at the final party, half-an-hour of trying to reason with Brandi (much you didn't see, including her yelling 'I checkmated you b***h.'), it was all too much. Yolanda's relentless pursuance of me, telling Ken how 'David would never associate with the likes of you.' It finally came to a climax and we left," she wrote.
Brandi yelling that at Lisa was actually shown in the preview of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" but for some reason the producers decided to edit it out out of the episode.
Joyce Giraud, who along with Carlton Gebbia, has remained steadfastly loyal to Lisa through all of the drama, pointed out that the line had been cut.
"Does everyone remember how Brandi yelled at Lisa in the sizzler & said"I just check mated u b***h"& said she could destroy her?" she asked on Twitter Monday night.
Some fans responded that Bravo shouldn't have edited it out.
"That is total BS to show it in previews then NOT show it in season finale," wrote one.
Perhaps, with enough fan outrage over the deleted scene, it'll be shown in an unaired footage episode later on?

Monday, September 03, 2012
I was reminded this morning in my devotional, that what I'm looking for isn't the number on the scale, but peace. Of course the fact that the number on the scale returned to 196 (the lowest I've been in this journey.... I tend to go down, then up for a while, then down, etc.) seemed to give me peace this morning. Peace that I am on the right track, that I am working hard to acheive these goals.
I also realized that meeting this goal in September will put me down 25 lbs since beginning this journey on June 11. Kinda a big number (with bigger ones to come.)
I also have figured out that my lack of exercise is kinda putting me in a stale-mate with the scale. So I need to get back on the wagon today, and get some exercising in.
Goal... 7 more lbs this month. 27 days to go! It feels like such a big goal to me, and I think it is because I have never set small term goals like this. I've always set goals that are BIG and WAY in the Future, so the immediacy of them doesn't ever seem to hit home. Then a couple months in, I realize there's no way I'm going to hit the goal by then, so I change the "goal date"... which makes me feel like I am right on track still, although I have totally missed the mark.
I'm trying hard to focus on this small goal, and my own resolutions for this month in my healthy living change. It's hard, but I can do this!!

May I suggest you make peace with your scale. It likes you and wants to encourage you, yet it must be truthful - who else will. But you are expecting her to do too much - to take your weight and adjust for the water weight retention due to salt or morning dehydration; both which can make turns for as much as 3-7 lbs of weight up or down. Also after exercising a lot, just when your mind think whammo I'm going to get my gal scale to praise me in a big way, she tells you no way - you've put on more weight - what she can't tell you is that your muscles are like thirsty sponges after exercising and NEED the extra fluids to increase mitochondrial growth (translated build muscle).
Ms. Scale is pretty black and white (or whatever yours prints out in). She doesn't see if your skin just sponged up another 1 lbs after taking a shower, or if it is a particularly hot day to you're breathing out a lot more of that moist air. She just puts up with the worst view of our whole body and gives the truthful bottom line.
Peace comes in knowing you did the best you could in the days before both in exercise, eating, sleep, trusting that stresses are only challenges allowing you to grow and happiness is something that you gift to your own mind by trusting you have a noble purpose in this universe....now you look down and see the number for what it is a reflection of where you are now modified by salt and water and worry and bad sleep and building muscle and bye bye fat....and you will get to the end of your journey and you will be a better person when you get there. Peace!
Now go smile at your scale and say something nice to her and maybe she'll repay the favor!

WHEELING - Kasey Opic has never been considered a thief.
But the 6-foot, 250-pounder pulled off a huge heist Thursday night on the Island Stadium turf.
With St. John Central trailing rival Bridgeport 6-0 with less than 5 minutes remaining in their McDonalds OVAC Kickoff Night, and the Bulldogs in possession of the football deep in their own territory, Opic turned the game around on one play.

ST. JOHN'S D.J. Shoemaker tries to outrace Bridgeport's Michael Jaworski to the outside during Thursday's McDonald's OVAC?Kickoff Night at Wheeling Island Stadium. The Irish rallied for a 14-6 victory against the Bulldogs.
ST. JOHN'S Alex Francis stiff arms a Bridgeport defender during Thursday's game in the McDonald's OVAC?Kickoff Night at Wheeling Island Stadium.
The senior defensive end stripped the ball from a Bulldog runner and rambled 25 yards to paydirt as the Green-and-White clad Irish rallied for a stunning, 14-6, victory.
"I just ripped it out and took it," Opic said in describing his first career touchdown while being congratulated by the Irish faithful. "I knew I was going to score."
Four plays later, Alex Francis stepped in front of a Bridgeport pass and returned it 23 yards for an insurance touchdown. Dario Paolina was successful on both PATs, the first coming when Levi Spencer got a bad snap down just in time for the placement.
The defensive six-pointers made a winner of first-year head coach Jason Merryman in his debut.
"What can you say about that?," Merryman said of Opic's strip-and-run. "We preach all the time about getting turnovers ... pursuing the ball. We tell the kids the ball is always out there and Kasey is the strongest player on our team. He was there to make the play."
Bridgeport seemed in control of the defensive-minded game as Rudy Vavrock's squad had one good offensive drive that resulted in its 6-0 lead.
Starting at their own 32, the Bulldogs, who lost a yard on first down, marched 69 yards on seven plays. Two plays highlighted the possession as sophomore quarterback Bailey McGrath connected with Dallas Fields on a 20-yard screen pass before McGrath scrambled to his left for 32 yards. Fields spun his way off the right side of the line and into the end zone from 3 yards out on the next play.
Following a pair of crucial 5-yard penalties against the mistake-prone Bulldogs, a two-point pass attempt fell short.
Bridgeport had a chance to salt the game away when sophomore Jacob Ray recovered a fumbled punt by St. John Central at the Irish 24 on the first play of the fourth quarter, but the Bulldogs gave the ball right back two plays later.
Two series later, Opic ignited the Irish comeback.
A chop block against Bridgeport on the ensuing kickoff set the Bulldogs back to their own 16. A pair of 2-yard losses preceded a 10-yard sack of McGrath by Irish senior Kolin Melko. On fourth-and-14, a halfback pass by Bradley Pritchett was picked by Francis in the middle of the field. He broke to his right and dove inside the pylon for six points as the lead grew to 14-6.
"I saw the line to my right, so I went to the outside and got to the end zone," Francis said with a huge smile.
Despite the late misfortunes, Bridgeport still found itself with a chance to tie the game in the waning moments.
Starting at its 32, McGrath and Fields combined for a pair of 12-yard pass-and-run connections that moved the ball past midfield. McGrath then found Colin Cooper over the middle for a 24-yard gain that pushed the pigskin to the Irish 11. Fields picked up 3 yards on another pass reception, and McGrath spiked the ball to stop the clock with a tad under 30 ticks remaining.
A delay of game penalty against Bridgeport moved it back 5 precious yards. After a third-down pass fell incomplete, Fields caught a swing pass and got 4 yards, but needed a dozen more.
"We just came up short," Vavrock noted. "We had a chance to tie it, but just couldn't get the ball in the end zone at the end there.
"I thought our defense played well the whole game, but no excuses, we just didn't get it done. We hurt ourselves at times with penalties, but the kids battled back. They gave a tremendous effort all the way to the end."
Meanwhile, Merryman was all smiles after the turn of events.
"I couldn't be any prouder of this group of kids, group of coaches and all the fans," he beamed. "The fans supported us the entire game, even when we were down there early on.
"We're going to get better. We're going to cut down on the mistakes and keep improving," he added. "We're going to keep believing in each other and keep fighting until the very end.
"It wasn't easy here tonight. Coach (Rudy) Vavrock does a good job with those kids, and you knew it was going to be a fight. You knew they weren't going to lay down."
McGrath completed 10 of 19 passes 109 yards and the one pick. He also finished as the Bulldogs leader rusher with 32 stripes on 11 totes. Fields picked up 16 yards on 17 carries.
D.J. Shoemaker was a do-everything offensively for the Irish. He ran 15 times for a game-high 41 yards, while completing 2 of 8 aerials for 69 yards. Francis hauled in all three St. John Central completions for 76 yards.
Both teams return to their home field next week as Bridgeport entertains Toronto on Hall/Wall of Fame Night at Bill Jobko Stadium. St. John Central hosts Conotton Valley on Saturday, Sept. 1.

After making various efforts in developing the Pandawa Beach tourist attraction, a number of public figures playing an important role in improving the object held a Thank You Gathering Pandawa's Family. The event taking the theme For the Future of Pandawa Beach was carried out in Wantilan hall of Pandawa Beach, Kutuh, Ungasan, Saturday (Apr 26). The event held for the first time was attended by public figures such as Chief of Kutuh customary village Ketut Suwena, Headman of Kutuh Wayan Purja, Chairman of Kutuh Village Representative (BPD), customary apparatus, chief of administrative and customary hamlet of Kutuh. Besides, it was also attended by the officials like the Chairman of the Indonesia Tour Guides Association (HPI) Bali, Chairman of the Association of Indonesia Tour and Travel Agency (ASITA) Bali, Tourism Research Consortium of the Udayana University Putu Dana Pariawan Salain, management of Banyan Tree Villas Ungasan, travel agencies, Director of Nusa Dua Reef Foundation Pariama Hutasoit, non-commissioned military officer (Babinsa) and rural police (Babinkamtibmas).
Chairman of the Kutuh Beach Advisory Team, I Wayan Kasim, said the gathering was aimed at sharing and having discussion among the tourism players with Kutuh village community in increasing the Pandawa Beach tourist attraction in the future. "We are also grateful to many tourism players, especially travel agencies who had participated in the development of this object," he said. In his speech, Wayan Kasim explained that since the Pandawa Beach was opened in December 2012, tourist arrivals both domestic and foreign tourists continued to increase every month. "In the year 2013, domestic tourist arrivals reached 353,765 people (88.5 percent), while foreign tourist arrival reached 45,858 people (11.5 percent). So, the total tourist visits reached 399,623 people with a monthly average of 33,302 people," he explained.
Meanwhile, in 2014, he continued, the tourist visits from January to March reached a total of 243,401 people with a monthly average of 81,133 people. The visit was still dominated by domestic travelers as many as 213,629 people, while foreign travelers reached 29,772 people.
Travelers visiting the Pandawa Beach, said Wayan Kasim, were charged admission at very affordable price in accordance with the agreement of the village meeting. "Local traveler is charged IDR 2,000 per person, while foreign traveler at IDR 5,000 per person. For vehicle such as motorcycle is charge a parking fee at IDR 1,000, car (IDR 5,000) and bus (IDR 10,000)," he explained.
Proceeds of the entrance ticket sales, he said, were used as well as possible to fund the operations, such as the provision of water in toilet, electricity, waste management, security and operations staff. Meanwhile, the remaining revenue was allocated for the customary and administrative village and customary hamlet, including financing the implementation of rituals. (BTN/ocha)

"Rise and rise again, until lambs become lions."
Tuesday, June 25, 2013
When I was younger (from a small kid to a teenager), I was one HELLUVA swimmer. It was my absolute favorite activity to do in the entire world. In the summer-time, I would be in the pool from the time it opened until it closed. I especially liked being there when the pool opened, because I would almost always have the whole place to myself for at least a couple of hours. (Keep in mind that this was 20 years ago, and the world was a safer place...parents could actually drop the kids off at the pool for the day, kids could play outside on their bikes and not go home until it got dark, etc). I was always, ALWAYS the best swimmer in the pool. I even joined the swim team for a while until I found out the coach was an abusive jerk. Honestly, he was the one who really ruined swimming for me. He took an activity that I loved to do, and made me feel like I was completely worthless. I remember once during a swim practice, I choked on the water so badly that it completely blocked my airway. I mean, 100% blocked. I couldn't breathe in or out for several seconds. It was terrifying. I was in the middle of the pool and made it to the edge. He stood on the diving board just SCREAMING at me to not stop, keep going, he didn't care if I was dying, don't ever stop, etc. I finally caught my breath and managed to croak out, "I choked and couldn't breathe." He said he didn't care and to keep going. I got out of the pool and never went back.
I quit the swim team, and from then on, swimming was just really spoiled for me. There were many other things in my life at that point that were in turmoil. Gosh, now that I'm sitting here writing all this, I feel bad for that kid. Sometimes I look back at myself, almost as if I were a different person. I wish I could have been my own older sister or something. Anyway. I swam a little here and there over the next few years, but not like I did. During summer vacations in high school, I worked at a summer day camp. We'd swim with the kids and on our breaks in between shifts, we'd go to the lake and swim the entire time (I think it was a 3 hour break).
I know part of the change with my swimming has to do with the coach, part of it has to do with just getting older (who does the exact same things they did, the exact same way as they did when they were children?). So...one theme that has remained the same with my swimming over the years, is every single time I get back in the water, this little part of my soul just feels so complete. Like I'm "home" when I'm in the water. I can move exactly the way I want when I'm in the water -- even in the overweight, obese, out-of-shape body I currently have. I just feel so good.
Today, I took Daughter swimming after we'd been out and about for the day. A couple of weeks ago, I bought a pair of swim goggles at the fitness center we go to. I told her we could share them. Today I decided I would wear them while I did some lap swimming. I do lap swimming while she swims every time we go to the pool, but I don't really haul it like I know I can. It's more of a leisurely swim. Today, I put the goggles on and swam HARD. I (still) can't get over how much easier it was to swim hard with those goggles on! I could just get my whole face in the water. I was just gettin' it. I swam and swam and swam. I got out of the lane for a while and practiced flip-turns against the side of the pool, since it's been eons since I did them. I know I'm no Olympian, but I got my flip-turns down and got back in the lane. I swam and swam and swam.
I heard an expression once: "If you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life." I thought about that while I was swimming. It just didn't seem like a workout. I was having so much fun. I just felt like I could do it forever. I stopped after about 45 minutes because it was time to go...and I was actually bummed. I wanted to keep on swimming. It felt so nice!
My quote in my title is from the Robin Hood movie with Russell Crowe. When it comes to getting fit and losing weight, I have started over countless times. I have fallen and risen sooo many times. There have been times I have considered giving up for good, but I always come to the same conclusion: I have to rise again and again, until I accomplish this goal. Until this lamb becomes a lion.

The official name of a nose surgery, a most sought after cosmetic procedure, is called a rhinoplasty. This plastic surgery can totally reshape the nose by reducing the width, length from the top of nostrils to the nasal tip.
Still, a nose job , commonly referred to by many, is indeed surgery and candidates for the procedure should discuss with their surgeon what to expect afterwards.
His or her surgeon will explain that everyone recovers at a different rate, but in addition, here are a few guidelines about what to expect.
After the outpatient procedure, a patient typically goes home the same day. Before being sent home, the patient's doctor will have probably prescribed some medication to relieve any headache or discomfort in the nose after the surgery. This will allow the patient to rest and recuperate.
It is usually recommended the patient elevate their head the first 24 hours after the procedure. Cold compresses can be applied to help relieve the swelling and bruising.
Bruising is usually limited to the area under the lower eyelids. This bruising is usually gone in about two or three weeks. Wearing makeup can help make the patient feel less conspicuous when going out in public.
Swelling can take a bit longer. Most of it will be gone in about three weeks, but it may take a full year for all of the swelling to disappear.
Most people will want to get back into their daily swing soon after the surgery, but surgeons want them to take off a week or more. If they can work from home when they begin feeling better, that can be done.
Returning to regular exercise may take about two months, but the patient should ask their doctor about their own case.
Eyewear is another concern after a nose job. Those who wear corrective lenses should speak with their doctor after the surgery because the bones in the nose are delicate and take weeks to heal.
Their San Diego plastic surgeon can discuss with them how to wear their glasses and when they can start wearing them intermittently.
About 10 days after surgery, one can expect another appointment with their surgeon to remove their splint and any sutures.
If a person follows their doctor's orders and takes their recovery step by step, they will find their new nose is well worth it.

Altria: Bringing Chocolate, Dance, and Cancer into Our Lives Every
By Paul Ben-Itzak
Copyright 2003 The Dance Insider
What's in a name? If
the name is Philip Morris, Inc., plenty. Besides largesse to dance
organizations, the name of the largest cigarette company in the
world is also associated with cancer, multi-billion dollar verdicts
against it for falsely claiming its "Light" cigarettes are safer
than its normal brands, and charges
that it aggressively markets its cigarettes to kids. It's no wonder,
then, that the company (which also owns Kraft Foods) decided to
change its name to the more innocuous "Altria" in January, prompting
the wags at www.satire.com to 'report':
"Just days after Philip Morris declared it will change its name
to the Altria Group, lung cancer today announced it will change
its name to Philip Morris. According to lung cancer officials, the
chance to snap up a brand that is more widely associated with lung
cancer than lung cancer itself was too enticing to pass up." Or,
as Andy Borowitz headlined his column: "Philip Morris, Now Called
Altria, Changes Name of Cigarettes to 'Health Stix'; Tar, Nicotine
renamed 'Sugar and Spice'."
We asked Karen Brosius,
director of media relations for Phillip Morris, Inc. -- er, excuse
me, "Altria" -- to explain the reasoning for the name change. "We
made this change to help clarify our corporate structure," said
Brosius. "It was hard for people to udnerstand it, when the parent
company had the same name as the tobacco businesses. At the same
time, the new name reflects the evolution on the business side,
which, over time, has grown through acquisitions of companies such
as General Foods, Kraft, Post Cereals, Oscar Mayer and, most recently,
Nabisco.... Altria's operating companies manage more than 90 $100
million brands, of which 12 are $1 billion brands. In France, some
of our food products we market are coffee (Jacques Vabre and Carte
Noire) and chocolate (Cote D'Or and Van Houten cocoa)."
I also asked Ms. Brosius
if by any chance the dance organizations who benefit from the company's
donations would no longer be crediting "Philip Morris" but "Altria."
"You're exactly right," she answered. During the 2002-2003 season,
according to the company, more than 100 dance organizations received
a total of $1.8 million from PM. In the last thirty years, the company
has given more than $30 million to dance troupes, presenters, and
service organizations. This year's recipients include the American
Dance Festival, Houston Ballet, Buglisi-Foreman Dance, American
Ballet Theatre, Jane Comfort, Dance Theatre of Harlem, and Garth
Fagan Dance.
And finally, I posed
this question to Ms. Brosius: "Is this a way for Philip Morris Companies
Inc., which is after all most associated with a cancerous substance,
to offer its philanthropic beneficiaries a name to which they can
credit the donations -- Altria -- which doesn't have the associations
of a product that kills people?" Not at all! "It was because we
saw that it was confusing to a whole lot of people who thought the
tobacco company owned everything else, when it's always been a diversified
company with a lot of other investments."
In fact, a visit to
the company's web site confirms that the entity formerly known as
Philip Morris Inc. comprises four companies: Philip Morris USA Inc,
Philip Morris International Inc. Philip Morris Capital Corporation,
and Kraft Foods. The web site includes the claims that Philip Morris
USA is the largest cigarette company in the US, and that Philip
Morris International is the most profitable international company.
The bottom line is that,
call it what you will, this is a company whose primary product,
cigarettes, kills people. It's also a company whose marketing practices
have been questioned. If dance companies and theaters need to accept
some of the profits from such an entity in order to survive, it's
not for me to judge them; the Dance Insider once applied for grant
consideration from Philip Morris itself. But let's call a spade
a spade, and not buy into Philip Morris's attempt to veil one of
the main deadly sources of its income.

Nevada dietitian Andy Bellatti has launched a petition urging the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (AND) to sever its financial ties with "junk food companies."
Bellatti, co-founder of a group called Dietitians for Professional Integrity started the petition because he claims the AND, which represents over 75,000 Registered Dietitians and health professionals, has been "hijacked by junk food companies." Bellatti adds that "this is bad news for the American public, which is facing a public health crisis of diabetes, heart disease, cancer, stroke, and obesity.
He says that over the past several years, the Academy has formed partnerships with companies that are partially responsible for these health concerns, like Coca-Cola, McDonald's, PepsiCo and Hershey's.
As examples, Bellatti pointed to this year's California Dietetic Association meeting, where McDonald's was the gold sponsor, this year's Utah Dietetic Association meeting, where McDonald's Director of Nutrition addressed the gathering, and the AND's weight loss symposium being sponsored by Coca-Cola.
The petition stops short of asking people or organizations to boycott products from the companies, instead saying it aims to encourage the AND to sever financial ties with companies that have reputations for questionable health and environmental practices.
"I do not think the Academy should accept funding from these companies or allow them to educate this country's dietitians," the petition states.
The AND has responded to the petition by issuing a statement that says; its 75,000 members "are highly educated professionals who are trained specifically to use evidence-based science when counseling their clients and patients."
The AND statement also said; "While we understand that some of these members have objections to our corporate sponsorship program, overall, membership opinion indicates a growing awareness and continued approval of the program."

BOULDER—Junior Gus Hander was one of 51 players nationally named to the Rimington Trophy watch list Tuesday, an award presented to the country's best center at season's end. Handler is one of five Pac-12 players on the list.
Handler saw spot duty in the first three games last year before taking over at center in the Ohio State game and from that point on, he saw action in all but 48 offensive plays over the last 10 games of the season. In all, he played in 613 plays and was graded out at 81.6 percent with 500 plus plays. He had 14 great effort blocks, four touchdown blocks and allowed just one sack and two quarterback pressures. His best game was the Arizona game, when he graded out at over 90 percent.
The Rimington Trophy is in its 13th season and is overseen by the Boomer Esiason Foundation. The winner is selected based on the center position on the following All-America teams: American Football Coaches Association, Walter Camp Foundation, Sporting News and Football Writers Association of America. The winner will be honored at the Rococo Theater in Lincoln, Neb., on January 12, 2013.
Several Buffs have been on the watch list for the Rimington, and in 2005, Mark Fenton was one of six finalists for the award. Seven CU players have won nine national football trophies: Alfred Williams, 1990 (Butkus), Deon Figures, 1992 (Thorpe), Chris Hudson, 1994 (Thorpe), Rashaan Salaam, 1994 (Heisman, Walter Camp, Doak Walter), Matt Russell, 1996 (Butkus), Dan Graham, 2001 (Mackey) and Mark Mariscal, 2002 (Ray Guy).
Handler joins Ray Polk as CU players added to an official watch list for a major postseason award. On May 8, Polk was added to the watch list for the Ronnie Lott Impact Trophy.
The watch lists for the Bednarik Award and the Maxwell Award were announced July 9 and along with the Rimington Trophy, the John Mackey watch list was announced Tuesday.
The Lou Groza and Ray Guy Awards will be announced Wednesday, followed by the Bronko Nagurski Trophy and Outland Trophy on Thursday. Friday, the Jim Thorpe Award watch list will be unveiled, followed then by the Rotary Lombardi and Butkus Awards (July 16), Biletnikoff Award (July 17), Davey O'Brien (July 18), Doak Walker Award (July 19) and Walter Camp (July 20). The Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award announces its initial list usually in late September.

Charles Mingus: Better Git It In Your Soul
Better Git It In Your Soul
Charles Mingus (bass)
Mingus Ah Um (Columbia CK 40648)
Charles Mingus (bass), John Handy (alto sax), Booker Ervin (tenor sax), Shafi Hadi (tenor sax), Horace Parlan (piano), Dannie Richmond (drums).
Composed by Charles Mingus.
Recorded: New York, May 5, 1959
Rating: 100/100 (learn more)
Three 1959 Mingus albums begin with the same Pentecostal pandemonium. February's "Wednesday Night Prayer Meeting" (Blues & Roots) becomes, in turn, May's "Better Git It In Your Soul" (Mingus Ah Um) and November's "Slop" (Mingus Dynasty), each in fast 6/8 meter with tension-and-release stop-time choruses and verbal exhortations from Mingus enacting the Holy Roller role. Of the three iterations, "Better Git It," with a phenomenal solo by tenorman Ervin, is the most exciting. It's possible that Rev. Charles's religiosity stemmed more from commercial calculation than bedrock conviction—his true bedrock conviction might've been that Holy Rolling helped to sell his records. Whatever, this is bedrock Mingus, not to be missed.

Attic Bedroom Design
Attic bedroom design can be the best idea to utilize the available space we have in attic. The room in attic space is not new thing in the world of home decoration. The attic room is great idea so we can maximize the utilization of the room. There are many things we need to consider if we want to make the attic room.
First thing we need to consider is the design of the room. The attic bedroom needs more attention than the regular bedroom. We cannot just clean up the attic place and put the bed there. We need well prepare concept so we will get the best bedroom of attic. If we do not have the concept we need to make one.
The second thing we need to consider is the furniture placement. The attic bedroom need not lots of furniture. We need to think about its floor strength. We cannot put heavy artillery there because it will ruin the room. Some of minimalist furniture may suit with the concepts. You can also read White Bathroom Design.
We can copy and see some of the example in the internet web. We can browse them and copy them it as the decoration of our house. The design is awesome. we can also always ask experts help for the attic bedroom.

Hypermedia Glossary Of Genetic Terms
Search Results
|see Disclaimer
|Genetic code
|The sequence of nucleotides, coded in triplets (codons) along the mRNA, that determines the sequence of amino acids in protein synthesis. The DNA sequence of a gene can be used to predict the mRNA sequence, and the genetic code can in turn be used to predict the amino acid sequence.
|A subunit of DNA or RNA consisting of a nitrogenous base (purine in adenine and guanine, pyrimidine in thymine, or cytosine for DNA and uracil cytosine for RNA), a phosphate molecule, and a sugar molecule (deoxyribose in DNA and ribose in RNA). Depending on the sugar the nucleotides are called deoxyribonucleotides or ribonucleotides. Thousands of nucleotides are linked to form a DNA or RNA molecule. See also base pair.
|The term proposed by Crick (1963) for the sequence of nucleotides in DNA or RNA.which is responsible for determining that a specific amino acid shall be inserted into a polypeptide chain. There is more than one codon for most amino acids. It has now been established that the codon is a triplet of nitrogenous bases in DNA or RNA that specifies a single amino acid. See genetic code.
|Messenger RNA (mRNA)
|RNA that serves as a template for protein synthesis or for synthesis of cDNA. See genetic code.
|Amino acid
|Any of a class of 20 molecules that are combined to form proteins in living things. The sequence of amino acids in a protein and hence protein function are determined by the genetic code.
Amino acids contain a basic amino (NH2) group, an acidic carboxyl (COOH) group and a side chain (R - of a number of different kinds) attached to an alpha carbon atom.
Thus the general formula is:
|A large molecule composed of one or more chains of amino acids in a specific order; the order is determined by the base sequence of nucleotides in the gene coding for the protein. Proteins are required for the structure, function, and regulation of the bodys cells, tissues, and organs, and each protein has unique functions. Examples are hormones, enzymes, and antibodies.
|Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)
|The molecule that encodes genetic information. DNA is a double-stranded molecule held together by weak bonds between base pairs of nucleotides. The four nucleotides in DNA contain the bases: adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T). In nature, base pairs form only between A and T and between G and C; thus the base sequence of each single strand can be deduced from that of its partner.
|DNA sequence
|The relative order of base pairs, whether in a fragment of DNA, a gene, a chromosome, or an entire genome. See base sequence.
|The term coined by Johannsen (1909) for the fundamental physical and functional unit of heredity. The word gene was derived from De Vries' term pangen, itself a derivative of the word pangenesis which Darwin (1868) had coined. A gene is an ordered sequence of nucleotides located in a particular position (locus) on a particular chromosome that encodes a specific functional product (the gene product, i.e. a protein or RNA molecule). It includes regions involved in regulation of expression and regions that code for a specific functional product. See gene expression, allele.

The Pikes Peak International Hill Climb is a grueling event to cover, and nothing is worse than walking off a plane, from more or less sea level, and heading to the highest part of the mountain for Practice 1.
Pikes Peak is unique. The organizers split the mountain into three sections — cars run two-thirds of the course , while bikes, ATVs and sidecars run the other third.
The bikes started at Devil's Playground for our first practice, which puts us immediately at high altitude. It tests the bikes and our bodies to the limit. But thankfully, first practice is just about getting the bikes dialed in, and less about making fast times.
To finish first, first you have to finish. Reliability on this mountain will put cracks in even the most well laid out plans. Some riders were already pushing hard, and it was evident. Others were just getting the lay of the land.
Tomorrow we run the middle sector of the mountain. As a photographer, it is my personal favorite spot to shoot. But I'm not looking forward to another 2:15am alarm.

In Today's Social Media World, Can You Ignore Your Customers?
There are times when all businesses have to deal with an angry customer or two. When your turn comes around, are you prepared?
The social media age
Given today's social media age, dealing with angry customers doesn't just come any longer in the form of a letter or a phone call.
If you have a Web site or any social media presence for that matter, there is a good chance the "dirty laundry" you have to air out with an angry customer will be displayed for many to see.
As many businesses have unfortunately come to find, it just takes a single blog response, tweet or reply to a Facebook remark to have your business scrambling to put a positive spin on things.
While some business leaders say that any press is good for you, we all know that bad press rarely produces good results.
With consumer dollars tight and many businesses fighting for those same dollars, keeping your company's brand and image clean is more important than ever. Remember, it just takes one unhappy customer to spread a negative word about your business, thereby leading others to question if you're the company they want to service them.
In order to maintain a consistently high level of service with your customers, treat them like you'd want to be treated in their place.
Respond quickly
In the event a customer posts a response to your site complaining about service or an employee, deal with it quickly. Not responding is like the kiss of death, whereby the customer feels ignored and is likely to not be happy unless they get a satisfactory response.
Now in the event you've realized your business may have made a mistake, how are you going to go about fixing it?
By saying you "understand" where the customer is coming from is a great way to defuse the problem in the first place. The bottom line is the customer is looking for vindication and you want to give them what they want within reason.
A gift
In some instances, you may want to offer the customer a discount or even a free gift if they will make another effort at work with you. If they were not happy with the recent service, perhaps offer them a 10 or 20 percent discount on their next purchase as a goodwill offer. It may not work, but it is worth the effort to try and continue the relationship.
Take it offline
In the event you've tried everything and the customer is still complaining online, then take the conversation offline. The last thing you want is all this dirty laundry being aired for all to see, allowing others to form their own opinion of your business, be it right or wrong in the first place.
Your business' reputation is paramount to its success; having an online fight with an angry customer is certainly not going to serve its needs at the end of the day.

Folan Sets PR as Tech Opens Competition at Mt. SAC
Rachel Folan opened the Mt. SAC Relays for Texas Tech by running a personal best time of 4:33.14 in the 1,500 meter run.
April 19, 2012
LUBBOCK, Texas - Texas Tech opened competition at the historic Mt. SAC Relays on Thursday afternoon and sophomore Rachel Folan ensured it was a memorable start.
In the opening event of the day, Folan ran a personal-best time of 4:33.14 in the 1,500 meter run. The time bested her previous personal best mark of 4:38.50 which she ran at the LSU Invitational `Battle on the Bayou' on April 7.
"It was just a fantastic race for her," assistant coach Jon Murray said. "She ran it exactly as she planned and had a great PR."
Folan finished 78th overall.
Meanwhile, Ezekiel Kissorio also competed in the 1,500 meter run Thursday placing 35th in the men's competition with a time of 3:50.18. The time matched his seasonal-best mark which he also set at the LSU Invitational `Battle on the Bayou' on April 7.
Texas Tech will continue action Friday as nine athletes are scheduled to compete. Kissorio will compete in his second event of the meet as he is scheduled to run in the 5,000 meter race at 9:25 p.m. PT.
Competition will begin for Tech at 10:30 PT with the men's pole vault open section.

Trading Futures Spreads – Part 2 ("Check Your Premises")
August 6th, 2008 12:27 am | by Matt Malkus | Published in Commentary, Economics, Investing, Liberty, Money, The Free Investor | Comments Off
Last time, we touched on the basics of commodity spreads and went over the basic example of soybeans (S) and soybean meal (SM), or the "crush spread." We noted that by tracking their ratio (S/SM), we could identify times when the relationship between these two contracts is out of alignment with the historical relationship, and take advantage by buying the undervalued contract and simultaneously selling the overvalued.
An important question is: how much do we buy and sell? The obvious (and easiest) answer is to buy one contract of the undervalued commodity, and sell one contract of the overvalued. However, each commodity gives the owner power over a certain number of the commodity – one soybean contract controls 5,000 bushels, for example – and the values of these contracts might be different.
To give an example, let's look at the soybean / soybean meal spread that we were looking at before. As the chart showed, the ratio of 3.631 looks lower than usual, meaning that soybeans are undervalued and soy meal is overvalued. A $1 move in the contract price of soybeans is a move of $50 in actual value; a $1 move in the contract price of soybean meal is a move of $100 in actual value. These can be calculated from the screen captures above – on the left is the "tick" size for soybeans, and on the right is the "tick" size for soy meal. As the ratio suggests, the two typically trade at a ratio of (roughly) 4 to 1 – that is, the price of the soybean contract will move 4 times as much as that of the soy meal contract. Let's assume that tomorrow, the soybean contract moves up $4, and the soy meal contract moves up $1, in accordance with this ratio.

PARDON OUR PROGRESS! As friends of the UI and fans of the Hawkeyes know, the UI Athletics Department is well into a multi-million dollar revitalization of Carver-Hawkeye Arena. This important and exciting project has reduced for this season the number of ticket windows that are operational on game nights. Fans attending the home events of the 2010-11 UI men's basketball, women's basketball and wrestling teams are invited to avoid game night delays by purchasing their event tickets online or in advance of game day. If your schedule doesn't allow for an advance purchase, we recommend you consider arriving at the Arena a little earlier than originally planned. Go Hawks!
IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Players are taught to put both wins and losses in the rearview mirror. But when an in-state rival puts it to you - like Iowa State did to the Iowa women's basketball team a season ago - it's more difficult to remove it from your mind.
Heading into Thursday's showdown against the Cyclones at Carver-Hawkeye Arena, Iowa keeps drifting back to Dec. 10, 2009, when Iowa State ran away from the Hawkeyes in an 85-66 victory at Hilton Coliseum.
"That's always in our brains from last year, how we went out there and got smoked" said sophomore Jaime Printy, who is Iowa's leading scorer at 15.6 points per game. "That's definitely in our minds, but we just have to look at it as another game."
"It wasn't any fun at all," said Printy, when recalling last year's loss in Ames. "As a Hawkeye, you always want to beat Iowa State, but then again, we have another chance this year and we're ready for it."
"Kelsey Bolte impresses me watching her on film, as she's got such a quick three-point shot," said UI head coach Lisa Bluder. "We've got to keep our eyes on her at all times because she is such an integral part of their offense, and is somebody they look to when things are not going well."
When cuing up a game plan to slow down Bolte, Printy is quick to mention a wild card in her back pocket. "We'll put Kash on her. Kash is a great defender, so hopefully she can shut her down."
Printy is referring to senior guard Kachine Alexander, who missed last season's game due to a stress fracture in her right leg.
"Kachine didn't have an opportunity to play in her junior year," said Bluder. "I know she's excited about this game and having an opportunity to finish her senior year hosting Iowa State in Carver."
There will be two evenly matched teams playing on the court at Carver-Hawkeye Arena, as both teams enter Thursday's tilt among the top-20 in the national rankings. It will be the first time in 40 all-time meetings that both team's enter the contest nationally-ranked, which begs the question, is this the biggest Iowa/ISU game thus far?
"I guess on paper it is, but they always are," said Bluder. "Every year is an important match-up. Every year each team is extremely excited to play it. This year both being ranked makes it extra special.
"I think it is pretty amazing that a state this size, this low in population, can have two schools ranked in the top-20. That's pretty amazing."
There's no question, players, coaches and fans remember the details of certain games more vividly than others. That's 10-fold when rivalry games are at stake.
"It wasn't any fun at all," said Printy, when recalling last year's loss in Ames. "As a Hawkeye, you always want to beat Iowa State, but then again, we have another chance this year and we're ready for it."

Bill Would Put Nutrition Info on Restaurant Menus
MEAL Act Would Only Affect Chains with 20 or More Outlets
November 5, 2003
Fast-food and other chain restaurants would be required to disclose more nutrition information if legislation introduced today by Representative Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) became law. The Menu Education and Labeling (MEAL) bill would require fast-food chains to list calorie counts on fast-food menu boards, and would require table-service chains to list calories, saturated plus trans fat, carbohydrate, and sodium on printed menus. The bill applies only to standard menu itemsnot changing specialsand only to chains with 20 or more outlets. Senator Tom Harkin (D-IA) announced he will introduce a companion measure in the Senate later this year.
The legislation was praised by the nonprofit Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), which today released a new survey showing broad public support for restaurant menu labeling. The poll, conducted for CSPI by Global Strategy Group, as well as an earlier poll sponsored by Harvard Forums on Health, indicate that two-thirds of Americans support requiring chain restaurants to display calorie content on menu boards and menus.
According to a new CSPI report, Anyones Guess, nutrition information is needed on chain restaurant menus since Americans are getting about one-third of their calories from outside the home. Americans eat out twice as often as they did in 1970, according to CSPI, and restaurant foods are an important contributor to rising rates of overweight and obesity.
Most of the largest chain restaurants dont provide nutrition information, and those that do make it hard to find, hard to read, or available only on web sites, said CSPI nutrition policy director Margo G. Wootan. People have good nutrition information in supermarkets, but people can only guess what theyre eating at chain restaurants.
The restaurant industry won a special exemption in the Nutrition Labeling and Education Actthe 1990 law that requires manufacturers of packaged foods to list nutrition information on labels. Several of the fast-food chains that provide posters or brochures in restaurants only did so to avoid legal action in 1986 by several state attorneys general. This year, restaurant industry lobbyists are trying to keep nutrition information off menus by raising misleading red herrings, according to CSPI.
This legislation wouldnt affect restaurants with fewer than 20 outlets, so mom and pop diners and fancy gourmet restaurants would not be required to test or label anything, Wootan said. Chains like Burger King, Dennys, and Red Lobster have menus that are largely standardized. A McDonalds Big Mac has 590 calories no matter where you get it.
When people eat out at restaurants, they dont eat as well as at home. They consume more calories and saturated fat, fewer nutrients, like calcium, and less fiber, according to the report. Children eat almost twice as many calories in an average restaurant meal than in a home-cooked meal.
The nutritional content of popular restaurant items varies widely, and in one study, even professional dietitians failed to correctly estimate the calorie content of popular restaurant meals, according to the CSPI report. Just one large McDonalds shake, for instance, has more calories (1,010) than three McDonalds cheeseburgers (990 calories).
Some menu items have more calories and fat than anyone would guess. A single slice of carrot cake from the Cheesecake Factory chain has 1,560 calories and 23 gramsmore than a days worthof artery-clogging saturated fat, according to the report.
If chain restaurants can provide nutrition information on web sites, they can put calorie numbers on their menus, Wootan said. For nutrition information to be useful, it needs to be at the point of decision-making. Few fast-food consumers want to lose their place in line to squint at a hard-to-read poster.
Legislation similar to the MEAL act is pending in Maine, New Hampshire, New York, Pennsylvania, and in the District of Columbia. And recently, officials of the Food and Drug Administration have been publicly discussing the importance of nutrition information in restaurants.

PORTLAND — The Trail Blazers' defense was trending in the right direction.
Portland had five solid defensive outings in a row and was looking to continue that trend against a Lakers team tied for last place in the Western Conference.
And then, the first quarter happened. The Lakers scored 33 points and were winning by 13 after the opening period — and they continued scoring in bunches all game.
The Blazers fought back to take the lead in the fourth quarter but were upset by the Los Angeles Lakers 107-106 at the Moda Center on Monday Night, snapping Portland's five-game winning streak.
Wesley Johnson had the game-winner off a backdoor lob by Kent Bazemore with 7.1 seconds left. The Blazers trailed the Lakers by as much as 15 points in the early going and they fought back, but they were unable to overcome that slow start.
"They started in fifth gear. We kind of started in third gear" said Blazers coach Terry Stotts.
"We didn't have the same type of energy we've had the last five or six games," said Damian Lillard, who missed a a chance to win the game on Portland's final possession.
"We didn't have the intensity that we had the last few games and it showed," said LaMarcus Aldridge, who finished with 21 points and six rebounds.
It was much like watching
a good TV show that's been high on drama and action but still has things to sort out: You know the plot points have to be sorted out before you can continue the action and they are going to have to get filled in at some point.
After defending better than anybody in the league the last game — and in particular holding Brooklyn to 81 points last week — there was bound to be some sort of regression to the mean. Portland did that Monday.
The Lakers leaked out in transition all night long, leading to a 32-9 advantage in fast break points. The Blazers finished with 20 turnovers, but Stotts said turnovers were not the main source of the Lakers fast-break success.
"To start the game, we gave up 22 in the first half and by our count we gave up 32. Most if it were after rebounds, not necessarily turnovers even though we had a lot of turnovers in the first quarter."
The Blazers also could not stop the Lakers three-point shooting, and when they ran them off the three-point line there was no friction on their drives.
"They figured it out pretty well: We let them shoot to start the game" said Nicolas Batum on the Lakers success shooting from deep. "When you make shots early in the game they come easy and then when they are on you they find solutions to drive. They play pretty well together."
Aldridge said that he is not quite back to his usual self, specifically with his timing, on the offensive end, but scored 21 points to lead the Blazers, ramping up his minutes from the last game.
The Blazers were struggling early on and would have been in a very bad place had it not been for the play of Robin Lopez.
Lopez finished with another monster game, following his 18-point, nine-rebound performance on Saturday, with a 19 and 16 performance on Monday. He contested shots all night, as he has done all season and even played a few plays non-stop after losing his shoe.
However, he was not ready to throw anyone under the bus, saying that everybody — including himself — "didn't show up to play" on Monday.
Nicolas Batum was active on the glass again, following up his career-high 16 rebounds on Saturday with 15 rebounds, 17 points and five assists.
The Blazers had scouted the play that got the Lakers the game-winner by Johnson. Aldridge said that they had normally gone to a Jordan Farmar three after he sets an initial screen.
"Jordan told me I would be open after the pick," said Johnson, and Farmar ended up being right.
The Blazers ran an isolation play for Lillard, who has been one of the more efficient isolation scorers in the league since his rookie year, but Meeks did not bite on Lillard's attempt for a stepback three.
"It was a tough look after I tried to head fake him. It was a tougher look than I thought it would be," said Lillard.
When asked how the Blazers move on, Lopez was short in his response.
"Exactly what you just said. Move on."

This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.
Shall and will are modal verbs indicating the future. Different people use them in different ways, and attempts to distinguish them often end up being more prescriptive than descriptive.
For me, there may be a small distinction between your two examples.

Is anyone here a spouse of an alcoholic? What are you doing? I am at the end of my rope. Just some FYI:
He is not abusive, mentally or physically.
This has been going on for 6 or 7 years.
I can't take the stinkiness, the red eyes, slurred speech and ect. I hate coming home, I hate seeing him, but my heart still aches. Yet I feel empty emotionally.
Anyone and any help would be appreciated.
Thank you!

If you go to AlAnon meetings, you will find help and support from people who have been in the same boat you are. Remember that a person can not get an alcoholic to quit drinking. He has to want to. THis is a disease and causes problems for everyone around the drunk. Maybe you should look at moving?

I am in the same kind of marriage and it got to the point of us seperating.Make a long story short he finnally agreed to individual counciling and quit drinking(him)I quit about 8-9yrs ago.The good news is he has not had a drink in about 3weeks now and is doing well.
I have been going to Alanon for @ 3mo.now and it has helped sooo much,I have been seeing a councilor myself for @3yrs now.
My husband refuses to go to AA and insists on doing it on his own,Hes been doing really well.
If none of this happened not matter how bad it hurt me,I would of left.
I hope all works out and I will keep you in my prayers. Sue

I am an alcoholic let me add some things which seem to be true.
Love won't get him sober, otherwise your love, your childs love, or his mom's love would have worked a long time ago.
Jail won't get him sober, otherwise everyone who comes out of jail would be sober.
Getting fired from a job won't work or all the unemployed would be sober.
Homelessness won't work either.
What will work? That is the question of the ages. If I had an exact way in which to get someone to want to get sober I would sell it to the rich and the hell with giving it away.
The percentage of people who get sober and stay sober through AA is around 7%, Church is less around 2%, other routes total around 1%.
More people are loved to death, meaning that people are nice to them. They ask them to get sober, and accept hard days as reason to get stinking drunk. Than people who are offended and ordered to get help through tough love. My motto is tough love. No more Mr. Niceguy from me.
What does that mean for you? Throw the bum out, cut him off, divorce him, etc. All these things will help him get to his bottom and help him decide whether to drink or not.

My husband is an alcoholic but has never admitted it. He is not physically abusive but very verbally abusive and controlling. He has called me every name under the sun. Over a week ago he picked me up and was drunk. I begged him to let me drive but he wouldn't and I was stricken with fear the ride home, about a half hour. He called me terrible names and blamed me for his condition. I know I am not. When we got home I called 911 and the sheriff came. He resisted arrest and is now in jail. I don't know if I did the right thing and I have a restraining order for 6 months. He will be in jail till a May 25th hearing. I am feeling guilty and confused about my feelings. I hope to attend an al anon meeting today. I need help.

@simoncross, everything you mentioned is my exAH to a tee.
Loving him to death didn't help. I took the kids and left him, that didn't help. He lost our home, sold his business and ended up homeless, that didn't help. He has been in and out of jail, that didn't help.
The OW/drinking buddy, took him in. He went back to jail twice and is back at the gf's and in recovery. Still his lack of empathy for the children makes me wonder how closely he is working his sobriety.
After three years of this I did file for divorce, sadly. We talk very little and when he does call my children look at the phone say its him and say they don't want to talk to him. It breaks my heart that alcohol has done so much damage.
Now he is trying recovery again on his own

I realized my husband was an alcoholic about a year after we had been married. In my niavity, I thought he just liked to party like me. That was 16 years ago! When you feel like you are at the end of your rope, tie and knot and hang on! What does that mean? That means do whatever you have to do for yourself. If your spouse won't help themselves, sometimes tough love is the only answer. Find others to support you - like AlAnon. Don't expect allot of help from family - they probably know there is a problem and refuse to really "see it". But you will be OK - just take care of YOU! You are not alone!

It is hard for me to say because Iam in the same boat, but he is mentally abuse.

I guess I'm "luckier" than most spouses of Alcoholics - my husband is not abusive verbally or physically. But he has managed to almost destroy our life as a couple and has destroyed my respect for him. I still love him but - as I told him - I can't live with his drinking anymore. I decided to give him the ultimatum after I began to feel like I was trapped in my house and couldn't enjoy our outdoors anymore because of the drinking going on outside.

I feel I have lost my sweetheart to the whore of alcohol. It's more complicated than that, as I know his love for me is deep and that his disease is uncontrolable. But it feels that way sometimes. I grieve the loss of our love story, and it was a good one. I grieve not recognizing the man I sleep next to, but also that he is miserable about himself too. I don't want to make a wrong choice and risk losing an intact family, but are we really intact? Some days it sure seems so, and I love it. We laugh, joke around with our two young boys, and it all seems okay. We will be talking to our counsellors about a strategic seperation, but I'm also scared about him having the boys. He's a very secretive drunk, and lies as a matter of course. I just keep asking myself what the best life is for me and my lil ones is and what should I do to make that happen. One day I'll feel like that means stay, but other days I feel that no one has the power to take my days on earth and make them crap. I deserve to live happily and experience joy in all this life has to offer. My advice is to go on vacation by yourself and see how you feel then. Even if it's to a friend's house. Go get some R&R. It may feel like a huge burden was lifted.

Drinking beet juice is all the rage in some training circles of endurance athletes. Here's a Q&A session I did recently for a magazine; check it out so you can separate the facts from the hype and see if you might want to try a beet juice boost.
What are the general health benefits of beets and beet juice?
They are high in carbohydrates and also contain antioxidant and antiinflammatory phytochemicals such as betanin, betaine,and vulgaxanthin. The anti-inflammatory nature is due to inhibition of the cyclooxygenase enzymes (both COX-1 and COX-2) which produce signaling molecules which are part of the inflammatory response. Beets also are rich in essential nutrients folate, vitamin C, manganese and potassium.
What are the athletic benefits of eating beets?
Consuming beets has been shown to increase time to exhaustion during strenuous exercise and decrease the oxygen cost of low intensity exercise. It appears that the performance boost would be most helpful to athletes in long events such as the half marathon, marathon, triathlon, and long distance cycling. But it doesn't appear that any athlete would be harmed from trying it, so I'd consider adding beets or beet juice to the diet even if you aren't per se a distance athlete. Who wouldn't want a little more efficient energy production, right?
What specific nutrient(s) in beets offer these health/athletic benefits? How, exactly, do these nutrients benefit the body? What's the mechanism?
The naturally occurring nitrate (NO3) in beets is likely to be behind the demonstrated benefits in athletic performance. Some of the nitrate consumed is converted into Nitric oxide (NO) in the body, which has several effects including dilating blood vessels (which reduced blood pressure) and reducing the oxygen cost of exercise (presumably improving oxidative metabolism efficiency and athletic performance.)
As far as the exact mechanism by which nitric oxide appears to improve oxygen utilization, there are a few theories. One, it could influence blood vessel dilation so that parts of a muscle which are requiring more oxygen get increased blood flow. Secondly, it's possible that NO reduces the "slippage" of proton pumps in the mitochondria, making them more efficient in the production of energy. Third, there is some evidence that NO can act as an alternative electron acceptor, fulfilling the role that an oxygen molecule normally plays in the electron transport chain. (Not my original ideas, please see this paper for more on the potential mechanisms: http://jap.physiology.org/
Do you have to eat them right before you work out, or is this something to just generally work into your diet?
It seems like if you eat nitrate-containing foods like beets on a daily basis, the nitrate content of the blood will remain elevated enough to give an appreciable effect. But the maximal effect is probably achieved when beets or beet juice is consumed within a few hours of the athletic performance. The blood pressure lowering effect of eating nitrate rich foods peaks within 2.5-3 hours post-ingestion, and it looks like the athletic advantage is on the same time scale. So I'd have my beet juice 2.5 hours before a race, for example, if I wanted the best edge. There have also been studies showing that the effect isn't lost when the beet juice is supplemented for 15 days so it's doesn't wear off and stop working after a week, for example. (More here: http://ajpregu.physiology.org/
Is there a particular way you have to prepare beets in order to get the health/athletic benefits? Luckily, the nitrate in beets is pretty sturdy, so for these effects (athletic boost) just about any preparation method is fine. For the other phytochemicals, betalains and the like which have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, they are more fragile so less time exposed to heat the better. Brief steaming or eating raw in a salad is best to preserve those.
Is drinking beet juice just as beneficial as eating beets?
Yes. I'd say go with what you prefer!
What if you don't like beets? Are there fruits and vegetables with similar nutritional compositions you could swap in?
Some other vegetables have high amounts of nitrate in them such as arugula, celery, radishes, spinach. (See table 4 here: http://www.ambientemola.it/
Is it correct that some nitrates and nitrites are healthy, while others are damaging to your health? Could you explain why, and which sources of nitrates/nitrites to eat and which to avoid?
Cured meats such as bacon, hot dogs or ham usually contains sodium nitrite. The health concern is that the nitrite can form nitrosamines during cooking, which are carcinogenic. (more here: http://askgeorgie.com/?p=98). Generally, I recommend people minimize the amount of cured meats they eat (and if they do eat cured meats, cook them at lower temperatures and to less doneness, marinate beforehand with citrus juice containing vitamin C, or microwave to partially cook before grilling, all of which reduce nitrosamine formation).
I've heard concerns in the past from consumers or clients who hear that certain vegetables have nitrate in them, and wonder if they should limit consumption of beets, spinach and such. While it's true that many plant foods contain ample nitrate, all evidence points to no, you don't need to worry about the nitrates in plant foods, they do not form detectable nitrosamines during cooking. (This may be due to their natural antioxidants.) Also, huge epidemiology studies have repeatedly shown that consuming vegetables decreases risk for chronic diseases across the board. At the same time, intake of processed meats correlates consistently with colon cancer, stomach cancer, bladder cancer, and other sites.
So what's the bottom line?
Beets, beet juice and other nitrate-rich vegetables may help give a boost to endurance athletes. If you want to give it a try, have a beet juice smoothie or meal with beets in the three hours before training to see how you feel and if you notice any appreciable benefit. For recipe ideas, try my Beet, Kale, Apple and Butternut Salad with Ginger or the Raspberry-Pear Smoothie (which contains hidden beets, you'd never know it!) from in my new book, the Racing Weight Cookbook: Eating for Peak Performance.
