His dramatic draft saga behind him, Matt Krook now is just one of the guys.
The Oregon baseball team kicked off fall practice this morning with 17 newcomers on hand, none bearing weightier expectations than Krook, the left-handed pitcher from Hillsborough, Calif. The 35th pick in this year's MLB draft, Krook agreed to contract terms with the Miami Marlins, only to have team doctors raise concerns about his pitching shoulder.
That drama, and any fear of injury, is now three months behind him. Krook has spent the last month settling in with the Ducks, the team he verbally committed to as a high school junior before his MLB draft stock exploded last season.
"I feel like this is where I should be, and everything worked out perfectly," Krook said.
After advancing to the NCAA Regional round in the spring, the Ducks will hold a month of practices this fall and then open the 2014 season on Feb. 14 at Hawaii. Oregon's lineup took a hit with the graduation of Ryon Healy, and the defense will need to replace shortstop J.J. Altobelli, but the Ducks are stocked with pitching, despite the loss of closer Jimmie Sherfy.
All three weekend starters return, including sophomore Cole Irvin, who set a UO record with 12 wins in the spring. He's joined by juniors Jake Reed and Tommy Thorpe, plus short reliever Garrett Cleavinger.
With a fastball that touches 95 mph and a biting curveball, Krook could be a candidate to replace Sherfy, or challenge one of the veterans starters for a spot in the rotation. With the pressure of the season still months away, though, Krook can continue the adjustment to college life, after coming so close to turning pro.
"Everything I've seen so far is that he's really clicked with the younger guys," Reed said. "He's not 'Krook, the first-rounder.' He's just another freshman. And that's what everybody wants out of him."
The easy assumption is that Krook isn't where he pictured himself at this point, based on his draft position. To the contrary, he said; since committing to the Ducks as a high school junior, he always envisioned his future in Eugene, and had to quickly readjust his perspective after rocketing up draft lifts as a senior.
Prior to that, Krook said, he'd been "kind of a nobody." But after dedicating himself to a workout regimen, he added 5 mph to his fastball last year. Professional scouts took notice, and on June 5 the Marlins sent legend Andre Dawson to the podium for the announcement of Krook's selection.
"It was really surreal," the 6-foot-3, 205-pound left-hander said. "It hit me, like, 'This happened; is this what you want?' Those next few weeks were a tough few weeks."
Over the course of June, Krook agreed to basic contract terms with the Marlins, flew to Florida and found out team doctors took issue with the shoulder. Krook was sitting in a hotel room in Miami after hearing that news when he decided his path would lead to Eugene after all.
"The decision was pretty simple once I really thought about it," Krook said. "I wanted to get the college experience, and get to play for a national championship contending team."
Other doctors have since cleared Krook to throw, and he says there are no lingering concerns about the stability of his shoulder. Krook has had several bullpen sessions already in Eugene, showing off the repertoire that could make him a factor for the Ducks in the spring.
Irvin is only a year removed from his own freshman season. A key for Krook, Irvin said, will be quickly digesting Oregon's system – signs from the catcher, etc. – so that it becomes second nature.
"If he's able to slow it down, work with the coaches and work with the guys on the team, he's going to have a chance to have a huge impact," Irvin said.
A 29th-round MLB draft pick himself out of high school, Irvin said he arrived in Oregon "a little too cocky." Veteran players "put me in my place," Irvin said, for which he's now grateful.
The Ducks will watch Krook now that practices have begun to see how he adjusts to this level. But Irvin said Krook's personality is such that he has a chance to be a team leader soon, and that he hasn't seen any sort of overconfidence.
Krook's discussions of his goal for this season illustrate that. It's all about the team, regardless of the role he ultimately assumes.
"Obviously the goal is to get to Omaha (for the College World Series)," Krook said. "Watching last year, watching UCLA do that and win, it was awesome. It got me fired up. It got me thinking, all right, next year we're going to get there and do what they just did."
Regardless of his draft experience, that's the journey Krook says he wanted to take all along, as a Duck.

Bill to Ban Terminator in Canada re-introduced - Support Bill C-353

Click here for more information on taking action in Canada.
New Democratic Party (NDP): RIGHTS OF CANADIAN FARMERS SHOULD COME FIRST
Atamanenko re-introduces Private Members Bill to ban terminator seed technology
OTTAWA –NDP's Agriculture Critic Alex Atamanenko (British Columbia Southern Interior) re-introduced his Private Member's Bill from the last parliament yesterday to ban 'terminator seed technology' in Canada.
"The only goal of "Terminator" is to make sure that farmers are forced to buy new seed each season," stated Atamanenko. "This is a technology where plants with a built in suicide characteristic will still have the ability to cross pollinate with neighbouring crops of the same species and wreak havoc on farmers who haven't even planted them."
Bill C-353, the Terminator Seed Ban Act, is designed to protect the right of Canadian farmers to save and re-use seeds by banning the release, sale, importation and use of Variety Genetic Use Restriction Technologies (V-GURTs). More commonly known as "Terminator", these seeds are genetically engineered to be sterile after the first harvest. The promoters of this technology do not make the claim that there will be any agronomic benefits to farmers.
"We share the conviction that Canada should join the ranks of countries like India and Brazil, whose governments have already legislated bans on this technology in order to protect their farmers," said Atamanenko.
"Our government needs to make the commitment to our farmers and to the international community that terminator seeds will not be allowed to take root in Canada,"
Since 2005, the federal government has been working against global consensus on banning "Terminator". It does not recognize the current moratorium and says it will assess the technology on a case-by-case basis – a position which has been rejected by the U.N Convention on Biodiversity.
"The international community would rejoice if Canada were to pass this law. We have an opportunity to bring the world a major step closer to eliminating this detestable technology," concluded Atamanenko. "I urge Canadians to appeal to the government to support this legislation."

For the fifth consecutive year, Ryan Mitchell will pitch for Amarillo.
Mitchell was signed to a veteran contract by the Amarillo Sox Baseball Club Thursday.
After spending time in the Houston Astros organization, Mitchell started with the Amarillo Dillas of United League Baseball in 2010, going 5-3 with a 4.29 ERA for the ULB champs.
Mitchell has been in the starting rotation since 2011 for the Sox, and in three seasons he is 22-18 with a 4.78 ERA. Last season, he produced a team high nine wins and a 4.07 earned run average. Mitchell has pitched at least 100 innings in each of the last four seasons.
"We're thrilled to have Ryan back," Sox manager Bobby Brown said. "He's a guy that you can pencil him in your rotation and you know you're going to get 130 to 140 innings every year.

A deadly fireworks explosion occurred at a high school in Texas on Thursday. One person was killed and four other persons were injured on at a high school in the central portion of the state, according to a USA Today report on Thursday. The incident occurred at approximately 9 a.m. while persons were setting up materials for an Independence Day fireworks show which was to be presented July 4.
Specifically, the explosion occurred at Comanche High School as crews were setting up the tubes that contain the actual fireworks, according to KHOU-TV. Marcus Nettleton, the Comanche Volunteer Fire Department lieutenant, said that the dead person and the injured persons were all local community members. He said that the persons were helping with the display which the local Kiwanis Club has put on for the community for over 20 years.
Besides the death and injuries, two vehicles were set on fire. Also, the trailer which held the fireworks was destroyed in the explosion. Reportedly, there were two licensed pyro-technicians on the scene who were working on the show's preparations at the time of the blast.
The trailer containing the fireworks exploded on the baseball field located right next to the school. City Development Director Jackie Stewart said that there was first an explosion, and then a trailer and some vehicles caught on fire following the blast. She asserted that four persons were injured in total. Three of the four, she claims, are in critical condition. The Comanche Chamber of Commerce and Agriculture agency said that the Fourth of July fireworks show has been cancelled due to tragic circumstances. Comanche, Texas is a town with approximately 4,300 residents in it. It is located in the central portion of Texas, about 100 miles southeast of Fort Worth which is about halfway between Abilene and Waco.

May 8, 2012
INDIANAPOLIS - Juniors Melissa Preish and Coryn Schmit and senior Melinda Macias earned Horizon League honors. Preish tabbed first-team honors, while Schmit and Macias earned second-team accolades. It was announced by the conference office Tuesday morning.
"Melissa, Melinda and Coryn are all very deserving of these honors" head softball coach Michelle Venturellasaid. "It's great that they have been recognized for their accomplishments throughout the season. Everyone at UIC is very proud of them."
Preish has played and started in 49 games at her post in center field. She is currently batting .399. In 148 at-bats on the season she has 31 runs, 59 hits, six doubles, a triple, five home runs and 17 RBI. She has a slugging percentage of .554, including an on-base percentage of .483. Additionally, she was recently named the team's "Offensive Player of the Year", which is voted on by the UIC coaching staff.
On April 30, Preish was named the Horizon League Player of the Week after her performance in the Green Bay and Youngstown State series. In four games she compiled a .538 batting average, a 1.0777 slugging percentage with a .538 on-base percentage. In 13 at-bats, she had seven hits, six runs, one double, two home runs and two RBI.
Schmit earns second-team honors after being selected to the Horizon League pre-season team. The first baseman has started and played in 50 games this season. She currently has a .311 batting average; in 167 at-bats she has 29 runs, 52 hits and eight doubles. She leads the team in home runs and RBI with nine and 39, respectively.
With a .981 fielding percentage, Schmit was selected as the team's "Defensive Player of the Year". Schmit also recently earned two academic accolades. Schmit was selected as one of the Flames' Female Student-Athlete of the Year, and is a CoSIDA Academic All-District selection.
Macias, who was also a second-team selection, holds a .320 batting average. In 175 at-bats, she has 34 runs, 56 hits, 10 doubles, one home run and 14 RBI. With just one error in right field, Macias has a .978 fielding percentage. She recently was selected as UIC's "Most Valuable Player".
During the series against Butler on April 6-7, Macias posted a .667 batting average, including an .889 slugging percentage and .750 on-base percentage. During her nine at-bats, she had six hits, two runs, two doubles and two RBI.

Just tell the whole secret to each person.
Assuming each participant $i$ has a key-pair $(x_i,y_i)$ for an asymmetric encryption scheme (with $x_i$ being the private and $y_i$ the public key), you can divide your secret as
$$ S_i := \operatorname{Enc}(y_i, S).$$
Then each participant can retrieve the secret as
$$ S = \operatorname{Dec}(x_i, S_i).$$
Of course, simply giving each participant $S$ fulfills the same purpose.

Five years ago, my wife bought me a compound bow for my birthday. It came with basic equipment and six arrows. I lost all six in the first 30 minutes of shooting, but I was hooked. I tagged my first buck with that bow from a tree stand that year.
I went to my brother's ranch in West Texas two years ago for a Thanksgiving hunt, expecting to get a deer on the ground with the same techniques I have used in the trees. I found out quickly that the terrain in West Texas is very rough. The ground is mostly rock with lots of low trees. Various oaks, Pinion pine and mesquite litter the countryside with Spanish cedar filling in the holes. His property is an undulation of ridge tops and valleys that converge into a long canyon. From above, it looks like a giant hand was pressed into the earth.
I am ready for the ridge, I told myself. I learned my lessons on the last trip. I brought a swivel bucket seat to sit on this time. In addition to my camo and ghillie suit, I found a fine mesh camo facemask that I could turn backwards and look through the lightest color of the camo. With this set-up, they can't even see the whites of my eyes.
A doe walked within 15 yards, browsing with her big black eye facing me. She walked towards me and stopped less than 10 feet away. I could see her hot breath in the cold air. After several frozen minutes, she turned away, broadside. As I drew my bow, both doves exploded and the deer ran to my right. By the time she cleared the scrub, I was at full draw, rotated to the new shot and ready. She stood broadside at 15 yards, looking at me but not seeing me.
The deer arrived about 6pm, but it was too dark to shoot. I watched them for an hour in the moonlight. I swished a cedar limb in my tree and they quickly trotted off. I snuck out of the area quietly.
The deer had arrived before daylight and browsed the area for a half-hour. I waited until I had good light. I held my bow in front of me to obscure my silhouette. A spike buck stood broadside at 20 yards. I was sure he could see my heart pounding through my suit. Swiveling slightly, I drew behind the bow. He walked to within 10 yards and stood broadside.
I waited for an hour while the adrenaline drained out of my body before following him into the valley. He made it about 300 yards down the side slope to a main survey road with one lung. It was a long track, but I found him relatively easily.

Duncanville, Texas-
As the school year opened Monday, there was confusion from observers in the most recent hearing in the Tutt case. Judge Tena Callahan stated at a hearing August 22 that she would give her ruling on continued oversight of 4 of the Tutt children Monday, but Monday came and went with no word from the court. This inaction left the Tutt family with no choice but to continue to follow orders from January 7th that mandated they enroll their children in public school, in spite of repeated statements from the Judge, both this month and in June, that the family would be allowed to resume home schooling their children this Fall, as is their legal right.
Happily, a statement was released by the family around 7 P.M. on August 28th, following:
For Immediate Release
On August 22, 2014, a hearing was held in front of Judge Tena Callahan of the Dallas County 302nd Judicial District Court. As a result of this hearing, Judge Callahan dismissed the Order to Participate for Trevor and Christina Tutt in regards to their children, Emma, James, Bailey and Chaniya, who were returned to them by order of the Court on January 7, 2014.
CPS will no longer have oversight of these four Tutt children, and the children may be home schooled once again.
The family asks for continued prayers as they seek justice for their other children.
While the order is a welcome relief for the family, who have received messages of support from all around the World, there are still cases pending on children who were not returned to the home, in the Dallas County Judge's 302nd Court.

We generalize the renormalized perturbation theory (RPT) formalism of Crocce and Scoccimarro [M. Crocce and R. Scoccimarro, Phys. Rev. DPRVDAQ1550-7998 73, 063519 (2006)10.1103/PhysRevD.73.063519] to deal with multiple fluids in the Universe and here we present the complete calculations up to the one-loop level in the RPT. We apply this approach to the problem of following the nonlinear evolution of baryon and cold dark matter (CDM) perturbations, evolving from the distinct sets of initial conditions, from the high redshift post-recombination Universe right through to the present day. In current theoretical and numerical models of structure formation, it is standard practice to treat baryons and CDM as an effective single matter fluid—the so-called dark matter only modeling. In this approximation, one uses a weighed sum of late-time baryon and CDM transfer functions to set initial mass fluctuations. In this paper we explore whether this approach can be employed for high precision modeling of structure formation. We show that, even if we only follow the linear evolution, there is a large-scale scale-dependent bias between baryons and CDM for the currently favored WMAP5 ΛCDM model. This time evolving bias is significant (>1%) until the present day, when it is driven towards unity through gravitational relaxation processes. Using the RPT formalism we test this approximation in the nonlinear regime. We show that the nonlinear CDM power spectrum in the two-component fluid differs from that obtained from an effective mean-mass one-component fluid by ˜3% on scales of order &ktilde;0.05hMpc-1 at z=10, and by ˜0.5% at z=0. However, for the case of the nonlinear evolution of the baryons the situation is worse and we find that the power spectrum is suppressed, relative to the total matter, by ˜15% on scales &ktilde;0.05hMpc-1 at z=10, and by ˜3%-5% at z=0. Importantly, besides the suppression of the spectrum, the baryonic acoustic oscillation (BAO) features are amplified for baryon and slightly damped for CDM spectra. If we compare the total matter power spectra in the two- and one-component fluid approaches, then we find excellent agreement, with deviations being <0.5% throughout the evolution. Consequences: high precision modeling of the large-scale distribution of baryons in the Universe cannot be achieved through an effective mean-mass one-component fluid approximation; detection significance of BAO will be amplified in probes that study baryonic matter, relative to probes that study the CDM or total mass only. The CDM distribution can be modeled accurately at late times and the total matter at all times. This is good news for probes that are sensitive to the total mass, such as gravitational weak lensing as existing modeling techniques are good enough. Lastly, we identify an analytic approximation that greatly simplifies the evaluation of the full PT expressions, and it is better than <1% over the full range of scales and times considered.

Hi their everyone, I am writing here to tell you of my experiences in the last 3 months,
It all started firstly with 2 nights of lucid dreaming where i felt like i had left my body and could wonder around, walking through walls and basically what ever i wished to do. A couple of days after this i was outside putting out the rubbish bins when i noticed in the sky an object that looked like a star moving, then suddenly in became extremely bright before vanishing altogether, The following week i seen it again, Then one night very soon after this i awoke in my room to see someone standing in the corner, It was a woman with long brown hair parted in the center, she had very big eyes, bigger than a normal person, she was short in stature and petite, also looked very beautiful, She was telling me that my life was going well. I thought it was only a dream until the next morning my partner told me that she had seen her too and that i was sitting up talking to her. Was freaky... Anyway the lights in the sky had captured my curiosity so most nights since then i have gone outside to see could i see anything. I'm not one to meditate but i thought i would try it, I started to practice visualizing a great white light expanding from me until it reached the sky as a way of signaling to the light that i was their, low and behold the light in the sky responded, I have managed to see this light 9 times now, and more and more frequently and for longer duration, tonight it was their for at least 5 minutes and did a fly by before disappearing, i managed to show my friend also who was amazed. I consider myself a very normal individual and am very new to all of this. I am wondering has anyone else had similar experiences.

Carolyn Kaster, Associated Press
WASHINGTON — It was a powerful moment on the White House lawn when thousands of guests, the loved ones of slain crime victims among them, crowded in as President Bill Clinton signed a sweeping crime bill that was six years in the making and included a hotly disputed ban on assault weapons.
"Today, at last, the waiting ends," Clinton said on that day in 1994. "Today, the bickering stops, the era of excuses is over."
Two decades and so many gun tragedies later, the political fallout from that long-gone assault weapons ban still casts a long shadow over Washington.
Gun-control advocates are scrambling to regroup after losing soundly to the National Rifle Association on their best opportunity in years to tighten gun laws. There's no shortage of finger-pointing about what went wrong for them or theories about what to do next.
It was a grim-faced President Barack Obama who stood in the Rose Garden with a handful of family members of those slain at Newtown, Conn., after the Senate last week rejected background checks and other gun restrictions, including a new assault weapons ban.
"I see this as just round one," the president said, raw emotion in his voice. "Sooner or later, we are going to get this right."
But if the carnage at Newtown, the pleas of grieving family members and the persuasions of an engaged president weren't enough to push gun restrictions through Congress, the road ahead is sure to be difficult for those advocating tighter controls.
The NRA is powerful as ever and poised to stand firm for the long haul. Sentiment for stricter gun laws, which rose after the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary in December, has slipped somewhat in recent weeks. Obama's willingness to stick with the issue in a big way when he has immigration, budget and other pressing matters on his agenda is uncertain.
In the immediate aftermath of the latest votes, with legislative strategy up in the air, gun control advocates are pinning their best hopes on two broad paths forward:
—Trying to counter the NRA's impressive grass-roots network of nearly 5 million members by summoning more passion and energy from people who support restrictions such as an expansion of background checks for gun purchasers. Unless public demand for tougher gun laws "becomes a permanent fixture in politics to counterbalance the NRA, it's only going to be by luck and happenstance that gun control actually wins," said Dartmouth government professor Ron Shaiko, who has written extensively about the lobbying industry.
—Strengthening gun laws at the state level, where gun control advocates have had a number of significant victories in the months since Sandy Hook. "We're seeing leadership that is coming from the states, and we're going to be there to help that momentum and to make sure that momentum is felt here in this city, in Washington," said Mark Kelly, who founded a gun control group with his wife, former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, after she was shot by a gunman in Arizona two years ago.
The NRA is digging in for a long fight and claiming public support naturally trends its way.
"There's a big misconception out there that gun rights are where they are because of the NRA," said NRA spokesman Andrew Arulanandam. "The reality is that majority of Americans support gun rights and support self-defense laws."
Polls paint a mixed picture.
In an Associated Press-GfK poll this month, 49 percent favored stricter gun laws, 10 percent wanted less-strict laws and 38 percent thought things should remain as they are. The poll found some slippage in support for stricter laws from earlier in the year.
On some measures, though, there is broad backing. Polls show 90 percent of those questioned support expanded background checks, for example.

I have a Quad-core/8GB Vista Enterprise 64-bit (SP2) installation on which I installed Virtual PC 2007.
I have a problem that is opposite of all that I found searching around the Internet--everybody has problems making network connections from their guest VM.
When Virtual Machine Network Services is enabled in the protocol stack for my network card across a reboot, it causes access problems to the network. The amount of time to login in using a domain credentialed account is upwards of 3 minutes, then after reaching the desktop the network and sharing center shows that my connection to the domain is unauthenticated.
Disabling and re-enabling the Virtual Machine Network Services (uncheck in network properties/apply/recheck/apply) fixes the problem. And as long as I have the VMNS disabled when I shutdown the restart runs smoothly. I just have to remember to enable after login and disable before shutdown.
I have un-installed and re-installed Virtual PC 2007 multiple times with restarts between. The install consists of the SP1 + a KB patch for guest resolution fix.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Some additional information...
At one point during my hairpulling and teethgnashing with this, I tried to ping my primary DC and observed some weird responses: (Our DC is 10.10.10.25, my dynamic IP was 10.10.10.203)

College Hockey:With NCAA hurdle gone, St. Cloud State returns strong cast
When St. Cloud State beat Northern Michigan in the first round of the West Regional in March, the Huskies accomplished a feat that had eluded them since their birth as a Division I program in 1989. SCSU won its first national tournament game in eight tries.
But Huskies coach Bob Motzko makes a simple point: The current team is a different group of players than the ones that fell short so many times in first-round regional games. In fact, only six members of the team have experienced a national tournament loss.
"A lot of our kids were never around for first-round losses in the past," said Motzko, who's starting his sixth season as St. Cloud State's coach. "It was the first time playing [a national tournament game] this side of the Mississippi. We'll take the momentum and the excitement we generated and take the next step."
Expectations are high for the Huskies after their run in the postseason and a strong returning cast from the 2009-10 season. The WCHA coaches picked SCSU to finish second in the conference standings and the regional media project the Huskies to take third.
Up front
Gone is SCSU's all-time leader scorer and assists leader, Ryan Lasch, who finished his career last year with 183 points on 79 goals and 104 assists. Only Mark Hartigan scored more goals for the Huskies (86).
The good news is that SCSU has just the guy to maintain goal quota. Senior Garrett Roe is No. 5 on the program's career scoring list with 142 points, putting him on pace to break Lasch's record. Roe notched 20 goals with 29 assists as a junior.
"One constant from an offensive standpoint is Garrett Roe, and he's been that way since Day 1," Motzko said. "He plays so darn hard, he's got the talent and he's been so consistent. We all know what he's capable of doing, and if he can take it to another level it's all in the cards for good."
Motzko has a history of finding forwards who can bury the puck. In addition to Lasch and Roe, Andreas Nodl scored 90 points in two seasons (2006-08) and there are a few rising scorers on the Huskies roster this season.
"When you talk about offense, you have to find players that are ready to take on bigger roles and more responsibility from an offensive standpoint," Motzko said. "We have one real proven player in Garrett Roe and a handful of other players that have started to emerge."
David Eddy scored 12 goals and finished the season with 23 points but is ineligible to play this fall. Ben Hanowski finished with 19 points as a freshman.
In the crease
Just as the Huskies took a goaltending-by-committee approach last season, Motzko hasn't named a No. 1 goalie to start this season, either. Freshman Mike Lee started 26 of SCSU's 47 games last season, posting a 2.80 goals-against average with a .915 save percentage.
Dan Dunn returns for his senior season after he started the other 21 games with a 2.58 GAA and a .915 save percentage.
"Both guys emerged as outstanding goaltenders last season and both are capable of being better," Motzko said. "We have great competition at all positions, especially goaltending. We have two guys that have to compete for minutes and lead us in wins. We're in good hands with our goaltending."

Comments about adidas New York Knicks Carmelo Anthony Kids (Sizes 4-7) Game Time T-Shirt:
My 4 yr old is a die hard knick fan just like me! but his favorite player, had always been melo, so when the Knicks traded for him, he had to have a jersey, the t-shirt jerseys are perfect for kids because they grow so fast, and 60 on a jersey is kinda crazy when he'll grow out of it in 2 mos. but he loves the shirt, would wear it everday if he could, great quality, stylish, colors are vibrant, I strongly reccomend this for other littler Knickerbockers out there!

Bob Costas has pink eye in both eyes and once again can't cover the NBC evening Olympics sports desk on Wednesday night. While Matt Lauer has graciously stepped in, there have been a few suggestions on what can be done to help out the ill sportscaster. On Wednesday Ellen DeGeneres offered up a solution that had Olympic fans laughing on The Ellen Show.
"I had an idea to help Bob Costas over there in Russia. They're on the way. I hope you're feeling better!" tweeted Ellen DeGeneres from her official Twitter account on Wednesday.
So what is this solution for Bob Costas' eye problem?
Ellen DeGeneres made a special pair of glasses. Instead of clear glass, there were pictures of Bob Costas' eyes looking normal glued to the frames. The talk show host even put on the glasses to show fans that this solution really is plausible. After sharing the glasses, the host popped the envelope into a manila envelope addressed to Bob Costas and told everyone that she would send it in the mail to Russia. The Winter Games post office had better be watching for the package!
Believe it or not, Ellen has even had an eye problem in the past and had to be on air for her show anyway. It's unpleasant and tough because the camera enhances issues. A television studio definitely isn't a friend when it comes to eye problems as the intense spotlight offers to much brightness for sensitive eyes.
Take a look at the video clip of Ellen DeGeneres revealing Bob Costas special his glasses. And don't forget to watch the classic joke at the end of the clip. It's dedicated to Bob Costas!

Blood pressure is regulated or determined by many factors, such as fluid volume, sympathetic nervous system, renin–angiotensin system, and vascular structure. Overactivity of sympathetic nervous system is one of the important causes of primary hypertension [1], and central neural regulation of blood pressure has been extensively investigated in animal models of hypertension [2]. To date, many neuropeptides have been shown to be involved in the central regulation of sympathetic nervous system and blood pressure [3].
Salusin-α and salusin-β are the peptides of 28 and 20-amino acid residues, respectively, which were originally predicted from a human full-length enriched cDNA library [4]. Salusin is expressed not only in peripheral tissues but also in the central nervous system including neuronal cells of the hypothalamo-pituitary tract [5]. Intravenous administration of salusin-α or salusin-β was shown to cause a rapid decrease in arterial pressure; however, the depressor response of salusin-β was greater than that of salusin-α [4]. Moreover, these depressor responses were concomitant with a decrease in heart rate [4]. These cardiovascular responses, which were completely inhibited by pretreatment with atropine, a muscarinic receptor antagonist, were likely to be attributable to cardiac negative inotropic and chronotropic actions [6]. However, another possibility is that the salusins act on the central nervous system to decrease sympathetic nerve activity and arterial pressure.
In this issue of the Journal of Hypertension, Zhang et al.[7] focused on the cardiovascular effects of salusin-β on the rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM) of hypertensive rats. The RVLM is a central vasomotor center, and stimulation of the neurons of this brain region causes an activation of sympathetic nervous system and an increase in blood pressure [8]. The authors have provided evidence that salusin-β is present in the RVLM and causes increases in renal sympathetic nerve activity and blood pressure in two-kidney, one-clip (2K1C) hypertensive rats [7], but that these responses are not found in normotensive sham rats. Zhang et al.'s results are apparently different from the depressor response determined by intravenous administration of salusins. These unexpected findings may be explained by the observation that salusin-β level and the number of salusin-β-like immunopositive neurons in the RVLM were greatly increased in 2K1C hypertensive rats compared to normotensive sham rats [7].
Chen et al.[9] previously investigated the cardiovascular and sympathetic responses to microinjection of salusin-β in paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of the hypothalamus. They found that salusin-β in the PVN increased blood pressure, heart rate, and renal sympathetic activity via both circulating arginine vasopressin (AVP) and AVP in the RVLM of 2K1C hypertensive rats [9], and superoxide anions were involved in these responses [10], thus raising the hypothesis that AVP is involved in the cardiovascular effects of salusin-β⋅ However, Zhang et al.[7] in the current study clearly demonstrate that AVP does not contribute to the cardiovascular action of salusin-β on the RVLM of hypertensive rats.
The understanding of the mechanisms related to central neural regulation of blood pressure has rapidly progressed in recent years [2]. Oxidative stress, which is increased in both PVN and RVLM in the brain of hypertensive rats, is one of the candidate mechanisms to mediate blood pressure elevation [11,12]. It has been suggested that part of the angiotensin II–angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptor signaling pathway in the RVLM requires activation and phosphorylation of the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38MAPK) and the extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (EPK1/2) [13,14]. In addition, this process requires activation of the NAD(P)H oxidase enzyme complex and generation of superoxide anion [13,14]. This mechanism may account for the previous finding that the exaggerated pressor response to glutamate in the RVLM of spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) was attenuated by chronic treatment with olmesartan, an AT1 receptor antagonist [15].
In another study, 2K1C hypertensive rats showed increases in both oxidative stress and blood pressure, which were prevented by chronic oral treatment with an AT1 receptor antagonist [16,17]. In this issue of the Journal of Hypertension, Zhang et al.[7] show that activation of the sympathetic nervous system and an increase in blood pressure induced by administration of salusin-β into the RVLM was mediated by NAD(P)H oxidase-derived superoxide anions in 2K1C hypertensive rats. In their study, however, administration of salusin-β into the RVLM of normotensive sham rats failed to increase NAD(P)H oxidase-derived superoxide anions, blood pressure, and renal sympathetic nerve activity. Although the 2K1C hypertensive rats showed increases in salusin-β level and the number of salusin-β-like immunopositive neurons in the RVLM, the interactions among angiotensin II, salusin-β, and oxidative stress are difficult to understand. Unfortunately, the authors could not clarify the role of the renin–angiotensin system in the cardiovascular response to salusin-β in the RVLM of 2K1C hypertensive rats. The renin–angiotensin system may be involved in the pressor response to salusin-β in the RVLM, because brain renin–angiotensin system is known to be activated in this model of hypertension [8,16,18].
Zhang et al.'s study provides new and valuable information; however, some questions still remain unanswered. The first question is whether treatment with an AT1 receptor antagonist prevents the increases in salusin-β level and the number of salusin-β-like immunopositive neurons in the RVLM of 2K1C hypertensive rats. The second question is how to explain the ineffectiveness of salusin-β in normotensive rats. Salusin-β has also been shown to be present in human plasma and urine [19] and the role of circulating salusin-β remains to be determined in the future.
In conclusion, Zhang et al.[7] investigated the cardiovascular and sympathetic responses to administration of salusin-β into the RVLM in 2K1C hypertensive rats. They suggested that salusin-β in the RVLM activated the sympathetic nervous system to increase blood pressure via NAD(P)H oxidase-derived superoxide anions in this model of hypertension. Although NAD(P)H oxidase-derived superoxide anions is likely to mediate the cardiovascular action of salusin-β in the RVLM, the overall physiological role of salusin on the central neural regulation of blood pressure has not been fully investigated. Further studies will be needed to better understand the mechanisms of interactions between salusin-β, oxidative stress, and angiotensin II, especially in hypertension.

Reading in between the lines, TSS in the FH video could detect no softening in Floyd's stance, no signal that he seems more open to risking his "0" against Pacquiao. (Hogan)
Floyd Mayweather, the superbly talented part-time pugilist, has gone on record as saying that he agreed to all terms to fight Manny Pacquiao, and offered to show contract, as proof, to the website FightHype.
Mayweather, who last fought on May 1, 2010, gaining a decision win over Shane Mosley, has laid pretty low since, as he's battled legal woes after getting into a physical confrontation with his ex galpal (in September 2010), and security guards (he had one dustup with two in October 2010, at his gated community in Las Vegas, and another with another security guard at his home, in November). He faces a July 29 preliminary hearing for the case involving his ex.
In a video interview on FightHype, Mayweather spoke up against the promoter Bob Arum. He said the media favors Arum, and said that Top Rank, his former promoter, went from being pro-Mayweather to anti-Mayweather after they parted ways. "The only fighters the media say I'm scared of is Top Rank fighters, cause it's coming from a Top Rank promoter," he said.
He placed blame on the much-wished-for fight with Pacquiao on the Filipino. Floyd said that he signed a contract to fight Pacman, and was referring apparently to the first round of negotiations for the two pound for pound kings to meet, which heated up in May 2009.
Mayweather repeated his insinuation that Pacquiao has used illegal means to bolster his performance, and cast doubt on Pacman's rise from the 106 to 147 pound weight class.
This video was shot a day after Pacquiao vs Mosley, the night after Arum said that Pacquiao wouldn't deal with anyone involved in the allegations against him. He was referring at the postfight press conference to Golden Boy, which is named in a defamation suit, for accusing Pacquiao of using PEDs.
Mayweather pointed out that the press doesn't treat him as kindly as they do Pacman. He showed a rib on his right side poking out, explaining that's why he moved back his Sept. 19, 2009 bout with Juan Manuel Marquez, from July.
He congratulated Pacquiao for his win over Mosley, then took a slap at Manny's business acumen. "They say Manny Pacquiao is I guess he's a Congressman, or a Mayor, or something of that nature...I be wanting to know who's in control of his paperwork or who's in control of his business, because once again, he has the worstest contract...not worstest, cause worstest is not a word, he has the worst, one of the worst contracts in sports history, not just boxing..."
Mayweather then doubled back to "cheating" and reiterated his demand for extra stringent PED testing. Quickly, he switched gears to talk about the computers he bought his mom, sisters and his nephew. Apples, he purchased, for the record. He then brought the FightHype correspondent into his mom's home.
It was, as usual, a fairly entertaining if scattershot performance by the boxer, who owns a 41-0.
Show us the proof then Floyd. It's funny how it took him this long to come out and say he signed the contract. Sounds fishy to me like how his handlers stated that there were no negotiations that took place. It's either Floyd and his entourage are on some kind of Grade A stuff or Arum is really fooling everyone.
Okay I just watched the video interview and I must say that Mayweather Jr. for once made some sense on some of the topics he talked about. What he doesn't understand is that when he left Top Rank to promote himself he is going to be a target. That's how this hurt business works. You are the best so they going to try and take you down. Don't people realize that Manny fighting Cotto was a big risk for Arum or when he pitted him against Marg. I mean come on these guys are no walk in the park type of opponents. Arum must have had his blood flowing when he watched Manny up against those guys. He also meant to say he signed the contract for the first negotiation. That was a no-brainer as Mayweather had the last proposal from the contract that kept the fight from happenning. He also mentions how he makes great fighters look like ordinary fighters. Well Manny makes his opponents look like sparring partners. If Floyd keeps on insisting that Manny is on some kind of PED then he should just forget about fighting him because I really don't think Manny will submit to his demands. Just stay retired Floyd because I really don't believe you have much of a chance at beating Manny in his prime.
At 16 years old, both Pacquiao and maywetaher were fighting at 106 lbs, but Pacquiao was already a pro whereas maywetaher was still an amateur.
5 years ago, Pacquiao would dehydrate to make weight at 129 lbs (against Morales), but was 144 lbs the next night per HBO Tale of the Tape. Pacquiao just doesn't dehydrate anymore and last weekend, Pacquiao was 145 lbs against Mosley.
"Just because he's a convicted drug dealer doesn't make him a drug expert." - Freddie Roach on the maywetahers.
Simple question. So why then did Mayweather turn down a Guaranteed $50 Million of a $100 Million purse offer with all his testing terms agreed to?
Mayweather signing a contract means nothing until he steps into the ring. He can always just fake an injury to get out of fighting.
I didn't watch jack, and fudge Money May. Dude has problems. he talks dishonestly to his fringe fanfaronades, because he knows that they will follow him to Hades. Dude is full of syet. A-side Meth is a myth. And Da Manny using PEDs is a straight fabication of the highest degree. Money May has no cojones because he knows what time it is. So his spits ridiculous fibs to his captured target audience, because anybody with an iota of a brain is not buying his turkey jive.
We Pinoys don't have or take that jive steroids/PEDS and don't have anything that will make "bullets be bouncing off" our arses. We are no Supermen. We are just hard-working arse thrashers, who have always been able to kick the willy-nilly out fast, slick, intercity African Americans for ages. Lil' Floyd knows this. Just check the long history.
A Pinoy knocked off the late, great Sandy Sadler at the top of his game. A Pinoy stop Homicide Hank Aaron from holding four divisional belts at one time at the top of his game. A Pinoy knocked off Bozo-Edwards at the top his game. A Pinoy Mestizo knocked off Uncle Roger at the top of his game. A Pinoy knocked off Olympic-Gold-Medal-winning Kennedy McKinney when McKinney still had game. A Pinoy -- no less than Da Manny -- knocked off Olympic-Gold-Medal-winning Big Money Oscar Dela Hoya and made dat sucka retire. A Pinoy will easily kayo an Olympic Bronze-Medal-winning Floyd Mayweather and make that sucka cry. The P-Boys have a long, long history of whuppin' Mayweather-type of arses. Fast, slick intercity African Americans know da score, despite the perception of B-Hop and his bandwagon of clowns. Holla!
112 lbs for money at 94 golden gloves. wtf. 2 years later at 130?
fights as high as jr. middle. Maybe the user turns accuser?
A no class ass with a low class record.
Step up or set aside.
Everything Mayweather said was true.... Pac didn't agree to the drug testing even they said that....Pac fans have selective memory remember he said he was scared of neddles but he has tattoos(why the fu* k is he lying)....then the blood testing made him weak another fu*kin lie...If you think somebody is on steroids and they get caught in all these lies what would you think....Floyed ain't scared of Pac especially after seeing his fight with Mosley....Pac knows Mayweather is up on his cheating ass thats why he's not pushing for the fight ...Pac fans need to keep it real.
I am so sick of Floyd sniping from the sidelines. Get in the ring! Put the gloves on! Fight somebody! Like sand through an hourglass his prime is slipping away! I have said this before but if Floyd truly believes in himself than it doesnt matter what he thinks Manny may or may not be on. I'd show up at Manny's camp and bring him some HGH and say "here, you're gonna need this to stop me from kicking your ass" No more Floyd talk until he signs to fight Manny, Ortiz, or anybody.
hello everyone..hope all is well with my fellow boxing fanatics..at the end of the day, all talking aside, i would just like to see these guys fight. floyds legal woes, accusations against paq having an unfair advantage, these things are distractions that could hinder a guy being on his A game, but these things really arent that important. i think both of these guys should just not mention each others name unless its at the weigh in before their fight. im not a fan of floyd and im not a fan of paq, im a fan of BOXING. period. all this hoopla about floyd not being a match for paq or paq not being able to compete with floyd is funny. both of these guys usually show up in peak condition, with the will to dominate, albeit in their own perception of the word and present a complex skill set that roughly 90 or so guys couldnt figure out. i just want to see it happen. if not..who else is fighting that we could be talking about?
Welcome to the terrordome undisputed34. Cut a hole it your towel, put it over your head and come on down! This is what we all want to see. Manny vs Floyd. Floyd vs Manny. I want to have a party. Invite all my friends over and celebrate the best matchup in all of boxing. Get in the ring and settle it. Winner takes all. What I see is one fighter fighting, and one fighter not fighting. Boxing goes on like life its self. Another match will come around. It always does. I hope this fight of the century doesnt go by the wayside.
@ the roast...thanks..ive been working up a good sweat in the locker room and now im ready to dance under those bright lights..dream match ups anybody? how do you guys feel about Ward vs Abraham? IMO, do they even need to go through with this? Ward vs TBD...secretly i would love for froch to fight both Glenn and Andre..so he could catch two beatings..this guy makes it hard for me to root for him..if you let him tell it he has the skill set to beat SRL, SRR, and anybody south of cruiser all on the same night..
The one's that need to keep it real is Floyd and his followers. You guys talk to damn much. Why don't you plead for your boy to just freakin man up already. He talks about the hurt business and that right there shows you he don't want no part of Pac. Floyd is scared to fight him! Face it, your boy's mission is just to try and tarnish Manny's career.
I think Floyd is just waiting for Manny's other leg cramps up maybe in his next fight and then he'll be ready lol.
What really doesn't get me is why do people keep saying that Manny's legacy is asserted with or without Mayweather. I'm not saying this because I'm a Floyd fan or a Pac hater, I'm saying this because I'm a fight fan. The reason this doesn't really sit well with me is simple, before Manny Pacquiao beat these fighters Mayweather did it first. I'm not weighing my judgement solely on the fact that Mayweather won first, but he beat these fighters coming off wins, while they were undefeated, or relatively active. When Mayweather fought Oscar De La Hoya, at 154lbs, he was criticized that Oscar was "over the hill", despite the fact that the fight took place at Oscar's walking around weight, meaning he would have been in excellent shape and condition. Yet, when Pacquiao fights Oscar at 147, where Freddie Roach even mentioned that Oscar was drained, Pacquiao is praised for his win and the "over the hill" Oscar is no-more. I will admit that Pacquiao's win over De La Hoya was won more impressively. Unfortunately, when Mayweather asked for De La Hoya at 147 the Golden Boy wouldn't comply, thus these fights can't be accurately compared to determine who won more decisively, and no making someone throw in the towel at a weight class they haven't fought in for over 8 years doesn't mean you won more decisively. This is just one of the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight analysis, this can be done for the Hatton fight as well as the Mosley fight. I would say its safe to say that Mayweather's legacy is solidified with or without Manny Pacquiao, the media can only keep a character built up for so long, once the media moves on from Manny Pacquiao to the next best fighter then people will start to realize what Mayweather has accomplished in his career.
The fighters "Mayweather beat first" somebody else beat before Mayweather. Mayweather hasn't done squat as a welterweight. When Mayweather fought DLH, Mayweather barely beat him despite Mayweather being the favorite. Floyd Sr even said DLH won. When Pacquiao beat the crap out of DLH, Pac was the huge underdog. Absolutely he deserves praise instead of turning around and calling DLH weight drained. If people truly were convinced that DLH's weight mattered that much, they should've made Pacquiao the favorite. Also, it was DLH who pursued Pacquiao, not the other way around. Mayweather hasn't accomplished s*** in his career. OOok oook eeek eeek aaak aaak.
I wish I could agree with you that the weight didn't make a difference in the DLH fight with Pac. It's sad to say something like that, but while Mayweather fights Marquez at 147 the weight advantage for Mayweather was heavily criticized. The fact of the matter is Pac had a clear advantage at 147 against DLH, as well as Mayweather had a clear advantage over Marquez at 147. Yes, Marquez had to move up so putting the weight on would have been tough, but in comparison to a drained DLH, it would not have been such a drastic change. Seeing your one sided argument really shows how little you know about boxing.
@Ali, you are always talkin' blinded, make-up sh**! Tell me why have Pinoys constantly whup da heck outta "fast, slick, intercity African Americans for the last 75 years or so? In the pros and amateurs. Nonito "The Filipino Flash" Donairey put a serious beatdown on the amateur James "[Tex] Mandingo Warrior" Kirkland, to name one. To name another one, my Pinoy-Hawaiian cousin Ronaldo Adamezi stop Luis Resto from going to the 1976 U.S.Olympic Trials by knocking his arse out. Apparently messed him up so badly that in 2009, HBO telecast a docu-LIE piece claiming that Resto fought in the 1976 Trials.
Ali, you are in a ton of denial and love throwing out hope sandwichs. Just as my Uncle Cely G halted "Homicide" Hank Armstrong from holding four belts at one time, my distant cousin and fellow tribesman, Da Manny would halt Money May from retiring undefeated. Unlike you, Money May know da BIG SCORE. And would cry like a bytch after Da Manny take away da Money May's goose egg. I can respect Money May. He's constantly said that he "want to retire undefeated for African Americans."
History clearly shows that a Pinoy 90% of the time has whup da heck outta a "fast, slick, intercity African American boxer" and been his worst nightmare. And you will be the only one to go into denial about this, Ali. Everybodeee else and dey mommas will holla at da history. Fantasy boxing is okey, Ali. That is just the way some people like it. If Lil' Floyd loved his people, as he always claims, he'd put up and shut da heck up and get Pac-knocked da fudge out like a man. All the above lost to P-Boys like a man. Even terrorist, knucklehead Osama got double tapped like a man. Ain't tellin' da role of da P-Boys. Dat sh*t is a deep-covered secret. Yall musta' fo'got! I know dat you saw Da Manny gettin' on his salute to some ST6 P-Boys after he thrashed the face and arsh of Sugar Shane. Holla!
You need to take a good look at Mayweather's record on boxrec and check out all of his opponensts past fights before fighting Mayweather. There were a handfull on fighters Mayweather have fought coming off losses. My opinion on the Pac-Dela Hoya at 147 is that it wouldn't have matter if Oscar came in 154 or 160 he still would've lost. Oscar was never seen as a technical fighter. He did box Vargas' butt off but he was one dimensional. Manny since moving up in weight has become much more of a thinking fighter. He counterpunches as well as anybody in the sport. What I would like Mayweather to do is fight Manny's leftovers and see how he does. He hasn't fought Cotto or Margarito and they still posses a threat IMO to any fighter. I'm sorry to tell you but Mayweather haven't accomplished squat IMO. He ducked the elite Welts for the longest. Don't tell me that he beat a number one in Mosley because to me that was more like Mosley being in the right position in the right time. Mosley was overly praised for beating Marg(Pac receives little credit for beating Mosley)who was outgunned mentally in the get go.
He told Roach in the fourth round that his legs were getting tight...I can understand if he complained about it in the late rounds but it was right after the knockdown. Besides, what was wrong with his performance? It was much more impressive than Floyd's win over Mosley.
Mr. Ali, answer ME! Spit NOW! Show what you KNOW! C'mon, man. It's the same old story. Another hater fibbin' about the fame and glory. History is not fibbin.' But I know you. History was automagically waitin' on you. YUP! NYET! Holla!
@ Xobile.. gald to see some one can still be objective about pacquiao THE FIGHTER instead of getting caught up in the manny machine..
@ fighterforjc..i dont know who you think i am, but glad to see youre paying me special attention ...this is my first and only account and unlike a few on this website, i have no opinions (as they relate to boxing) that i am willing to bicker pointlessly about. i enjoy a good debate or sharing of points of view, but mostly when followed by statements that can be somewhat validated by coherent conversation to support it. if you believe that pacquiao is greater than ali, robinson, mayweather...even if you believe him to be greater than GOD..then it is by all means your right to do so..i dont share in your opinion, of course, but i would be happy to know exactly why you feel that way. Pacquiao's body of work has been tremendous so far, but i cannot see him as being any greater than the two fighters you mentioned above. nothing in his resume far surpasses either of theirs. i wouldnt argue with you if you felt him to be their equal but i would disagree with that as well...
..and for the record what does blaxicuted mean exactly? drawing a blank on that one..anybody??
C'mon, Und34! You are not quite that naive. When Da Manny was beating down Mexicans, he was called da Mexicutioner. Ebonic knuckleheads -- boxer B-Hop, trainer John David Jackson and a fightscribe who is now deceased, I won't name him -- said dat Da Manny could not beat fast, slick-fighting intercity blacks. Now he is on his way to doing that, if Victor Ortiz doesn't quit getting firsts. He may get Money May too, before THC Pera Pac. The only African American who is gunning for Da Manny right now is a "[Dome-blasting, thought-by-many-know-nothings-to-be-a-slick-fighting-desert-storm African American] Tim Bradley."
Dude is brushing really close to getting the next African-American shot at Da Manny. And Da Manny will put an execution on bowling-with-his-bronze dome Bradley. But for word-play boxing slanguage and phraseology, Da Manny kayoing Bradley will be forever known as a blaxicution. Loosen up, Und34. It is all good. Maybe somebody will fantasized about some fighter putting a Pinoicution on Da Manny. A while back, there was a Mexican known as da Fil-executioner until he went to Manila and got da fudge kayoed by da Fil-Hawaiian Punch Brian V. You know da playful phraseology and slanguage of the game, Und34. Just be loosey-goosey and not dramatic tryin' ta cause sumptin' ta be traumatic. Holla!
@ Radam..Lol..ok,ok.. you got me..i was just being a little facetious and having a little fun with fighterforjc..im cool..to be honest, i agree with you that timmy may not be quite ready..i think he does use his terrordome to make up for his fistic shortcomings....and that he may be next up to bat because theres nobody left on the horizon. i see nothing in his arsenal that can stop pacman from gobbling him up and leaving nothing but a ghost behind..i wish we could go back to the days where guys fought once a month..if only to break the monotony of waiting 6 months for a supposedly god scrap..
Dude....get a clue!! Thats ONLY in the lighter weight divisions, try steppin up to the heavyweight division before talkin that s--t!
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

Box 210, St. Augustine, FL 32085-0210.
It's been obvious the last few years at the City of St. Augustine's Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP), 501 Riberia St., that an upgrade in the aeration system was due since mechanical failures had been gradually increasing. In mid-January the city installed modular and innovative floating equipment which supplemented the current system in use but was still able to meet permit requirements without taking any of the necessary treatment out of service. The specific design allowed staff to add units to extend the lifetime of the current system and due to staff experience at the plant, they were able to remove portions of the old system and assemble the new system in place. The entire process saved the city upward to six figures said Martha Graham, P. E., Director of Public Works.
The equipment which was unique to the industry, was purchased from Aeration Industries International, Inc. (AII), Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Wanting to showcase the equipment design and specifically the City of St. Augustine's newly adapted equipment, AII invited national and international sales representatives to the city to hear and see for themselves what a great product they were representing and selling to municipalities and private companies throughout the world.
Arriving Wednesday, February 24, approximately 60 professionals representing 20 international companies had training sessions, award banquets and sightseeing during the three day period. AII underwrote their visit and their stay in the Casa Monica with the individual companies providing the transportation costs. The group took a tour train of the city and visited Castillo de San Marcos and many said they were going to come back soon with their families to see more of the city.
George Lomax, Supervisor of the Wastewater Treatment Plant spoke to the group at the Casa Monica prior to their tour of the WWTP, gave them an overview of the plant and answered questions about its installation. The group visited the plant for more than an hour and was able to see the equipment in action. Out of professional curiosity, many asked to see other areas of the plant and its operations.
Remarking on the city and the wastewater treatment plant, Dave Levinson, David Industrial Sales, Inc. of Akron, Ohio, stated "you can see that the guys here at this plant take pride in its cleanliness. There's no obsolete equipment around and the grounds, they're kept very nice."
Rai Watanabe, Metcon Sale and Engineering Ltd, Concord, Ontario, Canada, stated, "we've had an amazing time here and this plant is so clean." Rick Nash, new England Environmental Equipment, Inc., Bedford, Massachusetts, added, "the accommodations are wonderful and I have friends in Daytona, so I'm coming back to spend more time."
Lomax commented that many of the participants brought their families and intended to spend the weekend before traveling back to their home.
The aeration equipment was installed at the Riberia plant about six weeks ago and is 'performing above our expectations' stated Lomax. Martha Graham, P. E., Director of Public Works stated that "city staff is not only innovative by finding cost saving solutions, they took it another step by using their talent and ability to perform the work 'in house' themselves, at a savings to the public. And we were so happy to be able to show others how well the system has worked for us."

A new year, a new beginning—or, in this case, a look back in time. The late fashion designer and man about (Down)town Stephen Sprouse is getting his creative due this January with the publication of Mauricio and Roger Padilha's retrospective book on his life, The Stephen Sprouse Book.
Sprouse (1953-2004) was a designer and artist credited with pioneering the '80s mix of "uptown sophistication in clothing with a Downtown punk and pop sensibility." Thanks to his inventive, enigmatic and supremely creative style, Sprouse was the toast of the New York fashion scene and soon became a global phenomenon. Of his innovation, the authors observe: "He was the first to look to the streets for inspiration and bring it to high fashion." Sprouse manipulated conventional notions of style, and his unique sensibility has inspired designers from John Galliano to Raf Simons and Marc Jacobs. Even if you know nothing of his early Day-Glo designs, velcro closure and Downtown club runway shows, you will recognize his 2001 graffiti sprayed bags for Louis Vuitton.
The authors run MAO Public Relations, MAO SPACE, a series of runway shows and publish MAO MAG, a bi-annual fashion magazine. This book—which they call a "labor of love"—is a manifestation of their long-held affection and admiration of the designer. The Padilhas have succeeded in making a book that many people believe was made by Sprouse himself—it transcends fashion, entering into the realms of art, advertising, general design, music and other creative pursuits.
To complete the volume, the Padilhas were granted exclusive access to Sprouse's archives and obtained many never-before-seen works of art, photographs and sketches as well as interviews with his colleagues, friends and family. Among his famous cohorts, we see Marc Jacobs, Debbie Harry, Anna Sui, Kate Moss, Iggy Pop, Andy Warhol, Francesco Scavullo, Lisa Stein and Max Vadukul.
The book is available from Amazon.com as well as Barnes and Noble with four different jackets, each featuring a different Day-Glo color in homage to Sprouse's iconic album cover for Debbie Harry's Rockbird. Additionally, a special limited edition copy with a Louis Vuitton cover is on sale at Louis Vuitton boutiques worldwide.
For more information on the current Sprouse-themed festivities, check out our coverage of Deitch Gallery's recent party, or head over to Atelier New York tonight, where they'll be hosting a book party with guests such as Debbie Harry.

We warned that it's very hard to look forward in the music business; albums tend to appear almost out of nowhere, and long-planned albums can get delayed for years.
With that said, we do know that many superstars (including U2, Beyoncé, Arcade Fire, Lady Gaga, Eminem and Black Sabbath) are planning to put out new music sometime this year. Click through to see which albums you can't wait to hear.

As Frequent Travelers Go, Viruses Are...
The website for the Blaxter lab at the University of Edinburgh—which is subtitled, "Nematode and Neglected Genomics"—is the perfect place to visit if you are searching for genetic information for "misfit" organisms of the current genomics era. You won't find DNA sequence information for Drosophila melanogaster or Mus musculus here; instead, you can browse sequence databases for 63 species of nematodes, 1 tardigrade species (or "water bear"), 9 species of molluscs, and 2 axolotl species, among others. In addition to the multiple sequence databases, the website includes a number of downloadable bioinformatics tools. These include transcriptome analysis tools such as peptide predictors and sequence annotators; tools for phylogenomics analyses such as a taxonomy database manager; DNA barcode analysis tools; and general genomics tools such as quality assurance tools for next-gen sequencing datasets.
