Can not understand such a big drop. Will it rebound or should I just jump off the bridge now!
its never a good sign. big guys know things before the little retail guys... im long 6.4$ but very edgy now
What's been happening to CYCC the past few days--big ups and downs--are the facts of life for biotechs caught in FDA limbo. Almost two years ago--early 2011-- I reaped a big gain here and for once in my life took a profit before either a test was not up to FDA standards or some so-called expert--Fuerstein an example--belched out a negative report and the stock tumbled. Trying to duplicate early 2011 now. Same scenario currently going on with Galena Pharmaceutical-- GALE--and a boatload of other like stocks. Just go with the flow, think positively, buy low & sell high and stay healthy.
Sentiment: Hold
Do you guys think stocks only go up? Play the hand the market deals you. I sold yesterday, for +35%. I then purchased DEC 7.50 puts. This thing was up 50% in 3 days. It was due for a large pullback.

The San Jose Sharks continued their streak of Stanley Cup playoff futility in dramatic fashion in 2014. It became obvious they know nine-time champion (six as a player and one each as a scout, an assistant and head coach), Larry Robinson is part of the solution after a report from CSN Bay Area Insider Kevin Kurz Wednesday, May 21.
General manager Doug Wilson not only extended Robinson, he expanded his role. The Hall of Fame defenceman (Canadian spelling for the Ontario native that spent most of his playing career and all his Stanley Cup championships with the Montreal Canadiens) has been an integral part of the development of Marc-Edouard Vlasic and Justin Braun. Now development will be an official part of his role over the next three seasons.
Wednesday, Dave Stubbs of the Montreal Gazette corrected an earlier Twitter post to say that Robinson's new role would be director of player development. He is further creeping towards a role in the front office by doing some of his work in games from the box instead of behind the bench as well as supplying input on free agent acquisitions. The role may also allow him to avoid some of the travel of the past seasons.
By offering more flexibility, security and leadership to Robinson over the direction of the Sharks, Wilson showed the changes he promised would not be rash ones. That is the thing many fans call for when the most dominant team in the first three games of a series in major North American sports history to ever lose the last four, and they did it by the largest margin of all five teams to complete the choke from a 3-0 series lead.
That it is understandable to clean house does not make it the right course of action. The benefits of keeping Robinson will be apparent mostly in five major footprints on San Jose moving forward—including the obvious Stanley Cup pedigree.

I would add though that you shouldn't beat yourself up for feeling sad at what happened, special needs parents are only human, though there seems to be a view in some quarters that we shouldn't be!

As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
IMNSHO, for a small business there's not much reason to not go for a VoIP solution. External calls can go over VoIP, POTS or T1.
From my experience, (as a reseller of both solutions) if your company is a 'techie' type of company that likes a bit of fiddling, I'd go with an Asterisk PBX solution.
Otherwise, I'd take a serious look at the Cisco SBCS phone system. Given that you seem to already have some Cisco gear, that may be an excellent fit for you.
Differentiating feature sets to consider:
Ultimately a discussion of specific product models is rather specific to your company so I won't address that.
Briefly talked to one of our Microsoft OCS consultants the other day, and they said that they saw a presentation by Microsoft explaining that their solution, which is either ready or about to be released, is far cheaper than any of the competition, including the low-end cheap solutions.
There's no need for a PBX and what not, pure VoIP, fully integrated with Exchange etc. It sounded real good, we'll be looking into it when we move out of this building in a year or two.
3cx ;). Nice, fast, plus SIP phones as you like.
check out microsoft responsepoint
Having trialled many PBXs, I finally settled on Asterisk.
Personally, I'd avoid adding FreePBX, or grabbing a custom asterisk based distro, as whilst the web GUIs make configuration of asterisk easier, they do actually restrict functionality IMO.
We run Asterisk on Ubuntu Server (x64), and it's straight forward to install. Customisation is straight forward once you have got the hang of how the exten commands work, and there is plenty of good resources available on the web if you are struggling.
The hardest part, is selecting a phone to standardise on. We've bought many Cisco 79xx phones, despite them being easy to configure, the sound quality is really poor. We've also tried Snom and Grandstream, but most recently we've tried Polycom 335 phones, which are harder to get up and running, but far superior in sound quality and operation.

CLEVELAND — Nick Swisher and Michael Bourn stole most of the thunder, but Mark Reynolds might wind up being the Indians' biggest offseason acquisition.
Cleveland hasn't had a power hitter such as Reynolds since the days of a healthy Travis Hafner from 2004-06 — i.e. a slugger capable of hitting 30 home runs per season, while driving in well over 100 runs.
And through the first 10 games, Reynolds, who signed a one-year, $6 million free-agent contract with the Indians this offseason, has shown what a valuable asset that can be. His five home runs — one of them, a game winner — ranked second in the American League through Sunday, while his 13 RBIs were tied for third. Both totals lead the Indians.
"I'm just enjoying it while it lasts," Reynolds said of his fast start, which is in contrast to last season, when the slugger didn't hit his first homer until May 1.
Reynolds, 29, has always been a hot-and-cold hitter. When he's on, balls will leave the park off his bat on a regular basis. He's hit 30-plus homers in three of his five full seasons in the majors. When he's off, the lifetime .235 hitter strikes out in bunches, leading the league in the category over four of those five years.
Reynolds and the Indians are willing to live with that.
"The more you worry about something, the more likely it's going to happen," Reynolds said. "When I have two strikes, I try to make something happen. If I strike out, it's not the end of the world."
Reynolds originally arrived as the projected starter at first base, but when the Indians acquired Bourn, the plan changed. With an outfield already stacked with Bourn (center), Michael Brantley (left) and Drew Stubbs, Swisher, the better defender, moved to first, and Reynolds was the semi-regular designated hitter.
"I feel like I'm more in the game (at first base)," said Reynolds, who has already made three starts at first and committed two errors. "DH-ing is tough. It feels like you're pinch hitting four times a game. But when I'm at DH, I'm going to embrace that role. When I get the opportunity to play first base, I'm going to embrace that role.
"I'm still going to go up and try to drive in runs. My role is to get big hits and drive in runs. That's what I've done my whole career."
He's brought back a new twist to his offensive repertoire this season, stealing a base a little over a week into the regular season. Reynolds recorded just one stolen base last year, and produced single-digit totals the past three years after stealing 24 bases in 2009 with Arizona.
"I was thinking, 'what's the last thing people are going to expect?'" he said of his theft Saturday against the White Sox. "I kind of surprised them. I'm not going to do that all the time, but I'll pick my spots. I've got bragging rights, now. I'm tied with Mikey Bourn for the team lead."
The Indians will settle for a team home run and RBI title, even if a strikeout belt accompanies the accomplishments.
Tito Boston
Terry Francona is trying his best to downplay a visit from the Boston Red Sox for a three-game series at Progressive Field that begins Tuesday at 7:05 p.m. — the first time he will manage against a club he guided from 2004-2011.
Francona's history as manager of the Red Sox has been well documented, and included two World Series titles in 2004 and '07 and a tumultuous dismissal.
"To be honest, I'm an Indian," Francona said. "I'm aware of the questions and everything, and I have a lot of great memories (from Boston), but I don't think it's fair to the players. This game is hard enough to play. They don't need to be worrying about me having nostalgia week. They just need to try to beat them."
Indians veteran Jason Giambi is still predicting a different atmosphere for the series.
"He's a huge piece of that winning puzzle over there, of course there's going to be a lot of hoopla," Giambi said. "He's the guy that got them over the hump.
"Anytime the Yankees or Red Sox come to town, there's a different feeling, because tradition has seen them to be the best teams over the years. This will just add to it."
Wounded Wahoos
- Catcher Carlos Santana (left thumb bruise) is expected to start in the series opener with the Red Sox after being out of the lineup for four games. He pinch hit in the ninth inning during Sunday's 3-1 loss to Chicago.
- Second baseman Jason Kipnis (right elbow soreness) is not expected to play Tuesday. He has missed the last two games with the ailment, batting .125 with two RBIs in eight games on the season.
- Left-hander Scott Kazmir (right rig cage strain) was scheduled to begin a rehab assignment for Triple-A Columbus Monday. If all goes well, Kazmir, who is eligible to leave the disabled list Wednesday, will make his season debut for the Indians on Sunday in Houston.
Down a man
The Indians transferred reliever Matt Albers from the paternity list to the family medical emergency list. A player is allowed to remain on the list for three to seven days.
The right-hander, who is 1-0 with a 5.40 ERA in four games, left the team Friday.
Minor detail
With its depth already being tested at the position, Cleveland acquired catcher Chris Wallace from the Astros for Double-A Akron left-hander Eric Berger.
Wallace, 24, had appeared in one game for Triple-A Oklahoma City this season and will report to Akron. A 16th-round draft pick in 2010, Wallace hit .254 with five homers and 36 RBIs in 78 games at the Triple-A and Double-A levels for Houston last year.
Berger, 26, had posted a 4.50 ERA in two relief appearances for the Aeros this season. He was an eighth-round draft pick of Cleveland's in 2008, posting a career 21-25 record and 3.91 ERA in 135 games (78 starts) on the minor-league level.
Tuesday night, 7:05, STO/WTAM 1100-AM/WMMS 100.7-FM. Jimenez (0-1, 6.97) vs. Doubront (0-0, 5.40).

January 23, 2014
The Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry's Strategic Plan implementation has taken a major step forward thanks to the collective input of students, faculty, staff, alumni and others who are part of the school community.
Representatives from nearly 30 academic and administrative units have submitted plans for how they will help the school achieve the objectives identified in the school's Strategic Plan. More than 100 different objectives have been identified by the units, tied to virtually every strategic goal in the plan.
The process is being overseen by the Strategic Plan Oversight Committee (SPOC), which has been meeting monthly to help organize the implementation and track its success. The eight-member group is chaired by Dr. Mark Abzug, Group IV Practice Leader and assistant professor in the Department of Dental Practice. Other members of the committee are Brian Baliwas, Class of 2014 representative; Dr. Mark Booth, Group Practice Leader and Assistant Professor of Dental Practice; Dr. Stephen Highsmith, Professor, Department of Biochemistry; Dr. Pat King, Director, International Dental Studies Program; Dr. Gene LaBarre, Associate Professor, Department of Integrated Reconstructive Sciences, Ines Fuentes, Receptionist, Department of Orthodontics, Roy Bergstrom, Director of Planning (ex officio) and Dan Soine, Director of Marketing & Communications (ex officio).
"In addition to the implementation plans, we've received excellent input regarding our strategic direction from the school community," said Abzug. "Participation so far has been broadly based and it's good to see the innovative ideas submitted by the school's departments and units."
The implementation of the Strategic Plan comes during an exciting period of change, as the school prepares to move to its new San Francisco campus in July 2014. Departments were advised to take into account how the move to the new facility will impact school operations, goals and implementation action steps over the coming year.
Objectives submitted by departments span a wide range of ways to support student learning, improve experiences for patients and support the Pacific Dugoni family. They cover topics including interprofessional learning opportunities, practice management strategies and clinic protocol, calibration of faculty, local community/campus partnerships, collaborative research projects, support of faculty and staff training, and managing the opening of the new campus facility.
In early 2012 the dental school community was engaged in formulating an update to the Strategic Plan, originally developed in 2008. Through a series of surveys, town hall meetings, informal discussions, open commentary periods and feedback the writing group developed the 2012 Strategic Plan Update: Building Our Future, Embracing Our Legacy. The goal of the update was to gain an understanding of where the dental school would like to go as an institution and to lay the foundation for its growth. The plan update's overriding theme builds upon the school's distinctive core competencies; its vision of "Leading the improvement of health by advancing oral health"; and support for its upcoming move to a new campus.
The six strategic directions identified in the plan are:
The first outcomes report will be due from school departments on March 31, 2014. This report will allow the SPOC to track the progress that departments are making on achieving objectives. The outcomes report will be due on an annual basis thereafter.
For more information and background, visit the Strategic Plan section of the school web site or contact Dr. Mark Abzug at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Medina County is the fourth healthiest county in Ohio, according to a new study.
The study, released Wednesday, was done by the Robert Woods Johnson Foundation and the University of Wisconsin.
The study ranked Ohio's 88 counties by comparing deaths, illness, smoking, drinking, education, unemployment, physical environment and a variety of other factors.
Medina only trailed Geauga, Putnam and Delaware counties.
"Medina County has consistently ranked fourth or higher since the first rankings in 2010," county Health Commissioner Krista Wasowski said. "The consistent ranking of Medina County is a strong indicator of the many health and social programs available to Medina County residents, and the collaborative nature of our county agencies."
A complete listing of the rankings is available at www.countyhealthrankings.org.
The study reported that the county had almost a third fewer unnatural deaths per 10,000 people than the state average, and was below average in the number of people who reported fair or poor health.
Additionally, the study found that the county had fewer people smoking and excessively drinking than the state average and had less obesity and fewer sexually transmitted diseases among adults.
The report also said the county had a greater rate of high school graduation and a smaller poverty rate.
Kristen Hildreth, a county Health Department spokeswoman, said she's happy with the results.
"After all, it's not just one factor that makes a community healthy or not," Hildreth said. "It's so many, which is why this report is so nice."
Hildreth said the county ranked fourth in 2010 and third in 2011 and 2012.
"That's good," she said. "I'm not panicking about a drop of one rank. If it was third to 20th, then we'd have a problem."
She said the data for the county has been about the same all four years, and that's what counts.
"We're consistently in the same ballpark," Hildreth said. "If another county improves, you might go down — but that might not be anything you're doing wrong."
Hildreth is co-director of Living Well Medina County, a coalition of area health, faith and school officials. Living Well conducted a countywide health survey and developed a plan based on the results in September.
The September survey and Wednesday's report showed similar trends.

The 'Neverending Story' of Superstorm Sandy
In practice, it's nearly impossible.
A year removed from Superstorm Sandy, homeowners and residents who spent much of the last year trying to piece together the lives they lived before the storm might be finding it a bit difficult to approach their recent bout of hardship armed only with logic. I'd lived in some of the New Jersey areas most affected by the storm for nearly 30 years. Though my wife and I had settled into our new home in Portland months before, my thoughts and as many minutes as my New Jersey family's waning cell phone batteries would allow were firmly in Jersey.
From the '80s through the early 2000s, my stepfather worked at a Fed Ex terminal in the Meadowlands marsh town Moonachie, N.J., as a courier before returning as a manager. The morning after Sandy hit, boats patrolled the streets of Moonachie looking for stranded residents.
My mother has been a teacher in Lyndhurst, N.J., for several years. The day after Sandy cleared out, her students who lived near the Passic River on one side of town and the Hackensack River and Meadowlands on the other had been evacuated and power to much of the town was lost.
For three generations, our family had spent our summers at Ocean Beach, a three-neighborhood collection of cottages along Barnegat Island on the Jersey Shore. Just south of Point Pleasant and just north of Seaside Heights, Ocean Beach was almost equidistant from the boardwalks that bore the brunt of the storm's damage. When images of the Jet-Star roller coaster in the waters just off its former home on Morey Pier in Seaside Heights made their way to across the country, it seemed imminent that bad news would arrive from Ocean Beach as well. Dispatches including pictures of construction equipment scraping mounds of sand off Route 35, boats washed far from their moorings into backyards and houses either hollowed out, carried off or toppled over confirmed the worst.

Kaufman Moves to Top Spot in Golfweek Individual Rankings
Kim Kaufman is the first Texas Tech player to ever garner a No. 1 national ranking.
Nov. 13, 2012
LUBBOCK, Texas - Kim Kaufman became the first Texas Tech golfer to garner a No. 1 ranking earlier this week when the senior moved to the top spot of the Golfweek Magazine individual rankings.
Kaufman was previously No. 2 in the poll after closing the fall season with her first career victory at the Landfall Tradition in late October. It was the highest ranking ever for a Tech golfer at the time.
The Clark, S.D. native wrapped the fall averaging a team-best 71.5 strokes per round as she has been among the top 15 individuals in all four events, with three of those being top-five finishes.
In the team rankings, the Lady Raiders fell two spots to No. 20 in the poll that features three other Big 12 teams among the top 25 in No. 2 Oklahoma, No. 11 Oklahoma State and No. 24 Iowa State.
The Lady Raiders open the 2013 spring slate on Feb. 10-12 at the Lady Puerto Rico Classic held annually in San Juan.

RollTide.com caught up with each member of the track and cross country team to find out more about them. Today, we feature Matt Airola, a senior from Altaville, Calif. Airola has been an important part of the Tide cross country and track and field teams since his arrival in the spring of 2013.
How did you get into distance running?
"I was pretty much forced. But honestly I was really into sports and my cousin was really good for the county we were in and my Mom thought it would be a good idea to see if the talent ran in the family."
What made you want to come to The University of Alabama?
"As soon as I made it to Alabama, I knew it was the coolest place in the world. I visited a lot of other schools and once I came here everything else just paled in comparison."
What is the biggest difference between Alabama and California?
"The people and the humidity are both big differences. The humidity is crazy. I'm used to desert-like heat all the time and it's really dry. The people are nicer out here. In California everyone has somewhere to go and out here people take their time."
What did you have in California that you wish you had here?
"I wish I had my family here. I miss them when I'm in Alabama. Before I transferred from (American River) junior college I could just drive home and see them. It's pretty hard to get home from here."
What is your biggest athletic accomplishment?
"My biggest accomplishment came in junior college at the state championships. I won the 1,500 meters and set a huge personal record. Then, I came back and amazed myself by running 1:49 in the 800 meters, which was another pr. After that, there was a lot of interest in me from different universities."
What is the best piece of advice you can give young runners?
"Never give up. I wasn't very good in high school and now I'm decent. I would tell them, 'If I can do it, you can do it'."

How can I get Google's Chrome or Mozilla's Firefox or even Microsoft's Internet Explorer and Microsoft office to recognize the capital letter in the middle of a word as beginning a new word, and therefore not marking the word as misspelled (unless the 2nd word is misspelled, ex: SuperUsr)

On windows networks, I'm used to browse my workgroup using "view workgroup computers".
Now I'm on a linux only network. I now I can use samba and just do the same, but is there a way to achieve the same thing without relying on the microsoft wins/browser protocol?
Is there any linux software which can be used to maintain a list of computers, even if they are on different subnets?
Thank you for your answers.

No. 41 Texas Tech Holds Off No. 56 New Mexico, 4-1
Jolan Cailleau helped secure the Red Raider win over No. 56 New Mexico on Sunday.
March 9, 2014
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – No. 41 Texas Tech rolled past No. 56 New Mexico, 4-1, at the Linda Estes Tennis Complex on Sunday.
"It was a very good team win for us," said Red Raider head coach Tim Siegel. "Jolan (Cailleau) and Felipe (Soares) played very well this weekend. Hugo came through and clinched against a really tough player. We are looking forward to returning home and playing our next four matches at the McLeod Tennis Center."
The Red Raiders won a highly-contested doubles point, as Felipe Soares and Hugo Dojas outlasted James Hignett and Samir Iftikhar, 8-7. This came just after Johann Willems and Carlos DiLaura held off Hayden Sabatka and Andrew Van Der Vyver, 8-6.
The soon became 2-0, as Tech's Jolan Cailleau cruised past Bryan Cunningham at No. 6, 6-0, 6-3. Willems followed suit, as the freshman dropped Andrew Van Der Vyver, 7-6, 6-2, and suddenly it was 3-0 Texas Tech.
New Mexico got on the board after Rodolfo Jauregui topped Francisco Zambon, 6-4, 6-3, but Red Raider Dojas answered with a 7-6, 7-5 win at No. 2 to secure the team victory.
Texas Tech will now host four straight matches at the McLeod Tennis Center beginning Sunday, when No. 57 Indiana will face the Red Raiders at 1 p.m.
#41 Texas Tech 4, #56 New Mexico 1

Greg Goode
Greg Goode: Get ready for some exciting videos below!
We came to know of Greg Goode as a "friend of the family" of Francis Lucille, a very bright and thoroughly personable philosophical counselor located on New York City.
There is a big difference between being awake and being able to teach. Many "seekers" continue to chase the elusive feel good experiences of satsang, hoping against hope to discover the magic bullet which releases them from the bondage of self.
The normal outcome, unfortunately, is a "feel good" experience which fades quickly after the momentary glimpse achieved at satsang.
What seems to be missing is teaching clarity, that rare gift of methodically walking with the participant step by step through the use of the tools of direct inquiry, which have proven helpful for millennia in uncovering the Truth of our experience and living the freedom we are. Beliefs are thus abandoned in favor of direct experience. Cloud cover evaporates.
Enter Greg Goode, possibly the only teacher using video in combination with direct counseling to instruct on the direct path. This is Greg's great gift to the mature "seeker": he's as clear as a bell.
Click here to see the first three videos of Greg Goode teaching how to use Atmananda Krishna Menon's great books of wisdom, Atma Darshan and Atma Nirvritti.
Even if you have read and enjoyed these advaita classic texts, this tutorial will arm you to use the texts with great precision.
Greg Goode, Phd is a teacher of non-dual inquiry and a counselor who employs both Eastern and Western approaches. In other words, Greg offers "hands on" assistance using direct inquiry to investigate the reality of our experience. Rather than inheriting a new set of beliefs, he helps you explore how you actually encounter the world, body and mind, helping you discover the Truth of non-dual wisdom, from bow to stern, leaving no stones unturned.
I can count the people who are really good with westerners at this on one hand. Greg is one of them.
Why would anyone want to do this? Simply, for two reasons: to alleviate suffering and experience the true sweetness of life.
Since early childhood, Greg Goode, has been interested in the nature of the self and the nature of reality.
Greg's credentials are extensive: having studied Philosophy at the Universität zu Köln and the University of Rochester, Greg studied Western Idealist teachings of Brand Blanshard, and the teachings of George Berkeley through the great Berkeley scholar Colin M. Turbayne.
Greg also studied Advaita-Vedanta through the Chinmaya Mission and with Francis Lucille; Pure Land Buddhism, and Madhyamika Buddhism through the lineage of Master Yin-Shun, author of The Way to Buddhahood.
Greg also wrote the foreword to Dennis Waite's Enlightenment: the Path through the Jungle.
Nationally certified by the American Philosophical Practitioners Association, Greg has a private practice in New York.
Hefre is more good news regarding Greg oode: we have invited Greg to come to Temecula during the first week in August to film him discjussing his work. More as this develops.
If you want a guide to walk with you as you delve into the conceptual Wonderland of concepts opening into the clarity of seeing, visit Greg here:
Let me say that I know some very serios truth lovers who have raved about Greg abd his ability to clarify and help sort out difficukt issues regarding non-duality. Check him out.

SleepBot is a sleep log and smart alarm clock, waking you up at the most optimal time based on your breathing.
SleepBot also tracks your movements and records sound throughout the night. That way you can better understand what affects your sleep.
SleepBot launched on iOS in May, but it's been available on Android since 2010.
It took a while to launch on iOS because SleepBot actually started as a joke, SleepBot founder Jane Zhu tells Business Insider.
Zhu and her friends built the app while at New York University so they could compete to see who got the least amount of sleep during finals. But the app eventually amassed millions of downloads and even won an NYU Stern Entrepreneurship challenge.
Now, SleepBot is a full-fledged business based in New York.
I've realized a few things about my sleeping habits since using SleepBot:
- Even though I got my tonsils removed a few years back, I still snore a bit. I imagine it's not as bad as it used to be, but it's definitely still a minor issue.
- One night I screamed while tossing and turning, but didn't wake up (see graph below). I remember while growing up, my mom would sometimes shriek in the middle of the night after she had a stressful day. My scream wasn't quite as extreme, but I'm still going to bring it up to my doctor next time I see her.
- I tend to wake up every night around 4 a.m., but I still can't pinpoint why.

Short term (approximately 5 years) financial modeling used by local and state jurisdictions supports the development of high value residential units, as the cost of services for those units is mathematically less than the property taxes assessed to those units (see Par 1 of this series). This is often a critical source for funding for public services, and a key to sustainability in other parts of the jurisdiction where the cost of services exceeds the revenues. For long term analysis (10 years or more), three assumptions must be included in order for that public revenue stream to continue: 1) said units will retain the comparatively high value; 2) high value units will remain occupied; and 3) the cost of services necessary to support those units will remain less than the tax revenue generated.
The value of each unit is dependent upon the economic and market competitiveness of the older units with new units when put back on the market. In many cases, the first owners of these units had options for designing the unit to suit themselves. The selections available may not be considered fully customized, as the builder may only offer selections from a catalog. The choices made by the first owners will reflect their preferences and needs.
Once that unit is placed on the market for sale as an existing unit, the unit itself is at a marked disadvantage compared to new high end units being offered by developers. The older unit reflects the tastes and values of the original owners, as well as older technology for systems. Buyers have the option of creating their own living space through a builder, or retro-fitting or remodeling the secondary market unit. If the latter is considered, then the cost of that work enters into the purchase equation. The unit is reduced in price to accommodate the cost of remodeling, or the seller must pay for the upgrades.
Either is an effective reduction in value, with the resulting reduction in tax revenue for services. Financial modeling that is dependent upon those high value units retaining their comparative value over a longer period of time must take into account the impact of the secondary market on the property value. The adjustment to the revenue yield from the higher value units will have an impact upon the ability of the local jurisdiction to provide services to existing neighborhoods where the cost of services exceeds the revenues. This will subsequently have an effect upon the sustainability of those neighborhoods.

From the sounds of it, Josh Hutcherson and Sam Claflin were more than happy to get a break from the grueling shoot for the two-part "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay" set to jet in and snatch up some golden popcorn on Sunday night at the 2014 MTV Movie Awards
And after six months of hard-core action, Hutcherson clearly had to let loose a bit when MTV News' Josh Horowitz caught up with him backstage and asked him how the win felt to sang Movie of the Year. "Yeah, I feel so f—ing good," said a smiling Hutcherson, his arm slung around Claflin's shoulder. "It's a f—in' awesome moment!"
Somewhat shocked by his co-star's profanity, Claflin told Hutcherson he'd earned the right to let the f-bombs fly. After all, the Cincinnati, Ohio, native had also snagged the Best Male Performance award for his star turn in "Catching Fire."
"Small cog in a very big machine," Claflin said of his chance to get into the "Games" in the role of Finnick. "Obviously it's a privilege for all of us to be a part of something so amazing."
Watch their reaction to the win and get some behind-the-scenes dirt on the "Mockingjay" shoot in the video below:

Jon Lefkovitz is the producer of a new film called "Rubber Soul," which recreates a pair of interviews done by John Lennon and Yoko Ono with actors saying the original words. The film received its world premiere at this year's SXSW. We asked him about the development of the movie and what viewers can expect. You can see the trailer for the film on this page.
Q: What's the idea behind the film?
Jon Lefkovitz: "Using actors, 'Rubber Soul' is a word-for-word reconstruction of two historical interviews with John Lennon and Yoko Ono. The film explores the dynamic nature of Lennon's identity by juxtaposing portions of seminal interviews he gave to Rolling Stone in 1970 and to Playboy in 1980. We wanted to convey Lennon's humanity and complexity as well as his brilliance, using his own words. The idea is to get the audience to think about how we all grow, but don't necessarily change, over time."
Q: How long did it take to make?
Jon Lefkovitz: "The film took four days to shoot and four years to develop. It began as a traditional biopic, but was reinvented as an experimental docudrama. I combed through the two interviews in order to find interesting places where Lennon either agreed with or appeared to contradict himself. The reason why it only took four days to shoot was because there are only two locations, the blocking is very limited, and most importantly, our incredible lead actor Joseph Bearor and I spent four months rehearsing the interviews until he could practically recite them backwards. Our policy was to remain as faithful to the audio and transcripts of the original interviews as possible, keeping every last stutter, 'um' and 'you know' intact."
Q: Is there any Beatles music in the film?
Jon Lefkovitz: "There is no Beatles music in "Rubber Soul." In a way, though, there is music throughout the film in the form of Lennon's melodic and rhythmic voice. Lennon's greatest talent was as a songwriter, but in my opinion his second greatest (and much less discussed) talent was his ability to give mesmerizing interviews. Despite his flaws, the man could talk honestly for long periods of time without ever losing the listener's attention. That's rare, especially in the Twitter age where celebrities tend to be coy and cagey."
Q: Where will the film be shown?
Jon Lefkovitz: "We just had our world premiere at the 2014 SXSW film festival, which went really well. Hopefully the film will be available more widely in the future. We encourage anyone who's interested to check our website for updates, or follow us through our Facebook and Twitter pages."
Q: Will it be available on DVD?
Jon Lefkovitz: "I hope so!"

College Hockey:This Week in D-I Women's Hockey: January 22, 2010
Been scanning around the world of women's pucks, finding things to catch my eye.
One doesn't have to look far at all.
Camp Randall Shinny
For starters, I noticed that the process of laying down the outdoor rink at Wisconsin's Camp Randall Stadium is in preparation for the coed (men's and women's) college double-dip is now underway.
There's no doubt that the event, which will feature the Bemidji and Wisconsin women followed by the Michigan and Wisconsin men, will be a memorable one to play in, and to attend.
I wonder, though, what tips the folks running Wisconsin's soiree may have picked up from the recent Frozen Fenway event.
Dealing with Mother Nature is one thing. If it snows, you break out the shovels. If the mercury sinks to near zero, the ice will be harder than ever.
However, it was clear from watching the Fenway spectacle that the ice-sheet itself began to suffer under the strain of back-to-back games. By the third period of the BC/BU men's game, the surface seemed to be begging for mercy.
Musical Chairs in the CHA
Ever seen anything quite like the wackiness that is the CHA standings?
Five teams in the league, four teams separated by a measly point, three of them chasing the team (Mercyhurst) that has been second to none in the polls since Week One of the season.
It could certainly make for some interesting hockey during this weekend's two-game set between Mercyhurst and Syracuse, to be staged in the Salt City.
Rink Goes Pink
The Hockey East-sponsored WHEA Skating Strides Against Breast Cancer initiative will take center-stage throughout the league this week. Four tilts being played this weekend have been selected as Skating Strides events, namely BU/Vermont (Friday), BC/PC and Maine/UConn (Saturday), and PC/BC (Sunday).
Previously, the league's four other rinks went pink for a night.
Gate receipts, as well as the proceeds from the sales of pink game-used sweaters, sticks, and the like will all be funneled toward breast cancer charities.
Kudos to the HEA for putting its platform to work on behalf of this critical cause.
Walking On to Greatness
Kudos, too, to Vermont's Chelsea Furlani – a home grown Catamount – who is now the school's all-time (Division I) scoring leader.
Furlani, who hails from just up the road in Colchester, notched career point No. 46 last Sunday when she scored in a 4-1 loss to UConn. Not a bad feat for someone who was a humble freshman walk-on, following after her sister Kari.
If I did this in another state I dont know if it would have meant anything to really anyone to be honest, Furlani said. But all these people that have watched me in youth hockey and high school hockey are still with me, and thats a really cool feeling.
Kessler Atop Harvard's Ladder
Another school career mark fell last week, when Harvard goalie Christina Kessler registered her 64th victory in the Crimson net.
The old mark was held by Kessler's direct predecessor, Alie Boe, now an assistant at Union, with whom Kessler shared the mark for over a month.
A few small matters such as exams and Canadian national team commitments kept Kessler from seizing the mark outright until last weekend, when she backstopped the Crimson to a 5-1 triumph over Colgate.
This weekend, Kessler will get the chance to increase her win total at Boe's expense, as Harvard will host Union.
Apropos of Nothing …
My favorite hockey name at the moment belongs to Ohio State freshman, "Hokey" (given name Cassandra) Langan, although one wonders how she would have fared had she attended Virginia Tech. Alas, the VT don't ice a hockey team, so there is no Hokey for the Hokies.

TKO Goes All In at Commerce Casino
Southern California fight fans will once again be treated to world class professional boxing as TKO Boxing Promotions presents "FIGHT NIGHT AT THE COMMERCE" on Thursday, December 17th at the Commerce Casino in Los Angeles.
Featured at "FIGHT NIGHT AT THE COMMERCE" will be former world title challengers Demetrius Hopkins and Edner Cherry in addition to world ranked lightweight Rolando Reyes in separate bouts.
Said Chet Koerner, President of TKO Boxing, "The Commerce Casino is a terrific venue for us. Intimate in scale with not a bad seat, it is one of the best rooms in the country to showcase top fighters."
"The Commerce Casino is also the largest poker facility in the world. It is the perfect place for TKO to go "All In" with Hopkins, Cherry and Reyes."
Advance tickets for "FIGHT NIGHT AT THE COMMERCE", starting at $25 can be purchased through Ticketmaster (www.ticketmaster.com, 800-745-3000). The Commerce Casino is located at 6131 Telegraph Rd. Doors on the evening of event will open at 7pm, with the first bell at 8pm.
Stated Chris Middendorf, CEO and Director of Boxing Operations of TKO Boxing, "What will be particularly interesting is that both Hopkins and Cherry will be debuting for us and fighting for the first times at new weights. Hopkins will be moving up to 147 and Cherry down to 130."
"Cherry takes his strength down to 130 and should be a beast, while Demetrius gains strength going up. If they both look as good as we hope, they will make an immediate impact at the top of their new weight classes."
Now campaigning as a welterweight, Demetrius "THE GLADIATOR" Hopkins sports a record of 28-1-1 with 11 knockouts. Having honed his career in the rough and tumble gyms of Philadelphia, Hopkins is amongst the most ring savvy fighters in the sport.
In his last bout on December 13, 2008, the 29 year old battled WBO World Champion Kendall Holt over twelve hotly contested rounds, losing a very close split decision in a bout that Hopkins took on one week's notice.
The scheduled eight rounder at the Commerce Casino is Hopkins' first bout under the TKO Boxing banner, signing with the growing international promoter in October of this year.
The co-main event at "FIGHT NIGHT AT THE COMMERCE" will feature Oxnard, California's Rolando "EL POCHITO" Reyes. The 30 year old Reyes, carrying a record of 31-4-2 (20KO's), is coming off a stunning fifth round knockout of former world champion Julio Diaz on April 4th in Austin, Texas .
Known for his heavy handed body shots, fan favorite Reyes is riding a five bout winning streak, including a tenth round stoppage of former world champion Stevie Johnston in 2007. Reyes is currently the #3 ranked lightweight in the world by Ring Magazine.
Also featured at "FIGHT NIGHT AT THE COMMERCE" will be Florida native Edner "CHERRY BOMB" Cherry. A native of the Bahamas, Cherry brings a record of 24-6-2 (12KO's) into the scheduled six rounder in his Southern California debut. Known for always making great fights, Cherry has been a very popular fighter over his eight year professional career having been a staple of numerous nationally televised boxing broadcasts.
In his last bout on September 13, 2008, Cherry challenged WBC Junior Welterweight Champion Timothy Bradley, losing a very close twelve round decision in a bout broadcast on Showtime Championship Boxing.
This will be Cherry's first bout competing as a junior lightweight.
Returning to the Commerce Casino will be all-action junior featherweight Leo "EL Teremoto" Santa Cruz . The 21 year old Lincoln Heights, California resident stunned the packed house on November 3rd with a brutal first round knockout of Julio Valadez.
Amongst the most popular fighters in Southern California, the ever improving Santa Cruz, 11-0-1 (3KO's), will be featured in a scheduled six round bout.
Also appearing at "FIGHT NIGHT AT THE COMMERCE CASINO" will be former Russian amateur standouts Fedor and Dmitry Chudinov. Now based in Los Angeles, the brothers have each won their first two bouts and are amongst the most talked about young prospects in boxing.
Twenty two year old Fedor, 2-0-0 (2KO's) has stopped both of his opponents with devastating first round knockouts, most recently stopping Mikhail Lyubarsky in front of the packed house at the Pala Casino in Pala, California on August 22nd.
The one year older Dmitry won a hard fought four round unanimous over Eddie Hunter on the same card at the Pala Casino to improve his record to 2-0-0 (1KO).
Both brothers will be featured in four round bouts.
More information on "FIGHT NIGHT AT THE COMMERCE" will be announced shortly.
Formed in early 2008, Chet Koerner's Las Vegas based TKO BOXING Promotions, originators of the "HOMETOWN HEROES TO WORLD CHAMPIONS" national boxing series, stable includes; heavyweight Lenroy Thomas, cruiserweight Andres Taylor, super middleweights Joey Gilbert and Fedor Chudinov, middleweights Peter Manfredo Jr., Elvin Ayala, Albert Onolunose, James Countryman and Dmitry Chudinov, junior middleweights Bastie Samir, welterweights Juan Buendia, Raul Tovar and Bradley Blankenship, junior welterweights Demetrius Hopkins, Francisco Contreras, Joseph Elegele and Hastings Bwalya, lightweights Rolando Reyes, Mickey Bey Jr., and Terence Crawford, featherweights Matt Remillard, Carney Bowman, Dat Nguyen, Delvin Placencia, Rafael Lora, Maxwell Awaku and Robert Rodriguez, super bantamweights Rafael Valenzuela, bantamweight Leo Santa Cruz and flyweight Rayonta Whitfield

There is a great Facebook meme floating around now days that says, "Never push a loyal person to the point where they don't give a damn."
Sometimes these memes can be silly and sometimes they can be profound. This one is profound and some people should be paying attention.
Who should be paying attention?
It is the Republican Party.
In 2006 and 2008, the Republican Party careened down the political highway, like a drunk driver bound and determined to become a Darwin award winner. Then a funny thing happened on the way to political extinction.
The Tea Party was born.
If the Republican Party had been doing what it was supposed to be doing, the Tea Party never would have been born.
In 2010, the Tea Party swept a devastated Republican Party back into power in the House of Representatives. The Tea Party activists loyally supported the GOP into 2011 and 2012.
What did the Tea Party see for its efforts?
Spending has continued to increase. The debt has continued to increase. The GOP has done nothing to stop Obama and his executive orders that attack fundamental American rights. The Republicans gave the Tea Party and America Mitt Romney, the single most liberal and most incompetent Republican nominee in history.
Now as we head into the fall, the GOP is simply surrendering on Obamacare. While there is little Mitch McConnell can do in the Senate, there is a lot John Boehner can do in the House. All he wants to do is surrender.
The Republican base overwhelmingly opposes Amnesty, yet the liberals who lead the GOP, people like John McCain, Lindsay Graham and Lamar Alexander want to give Obama everything he wants for Amnesty.
The Republican Party should have taken the hint. In 2008, the base stayed home and the Democrats ended up with what would turn into a super majority in the Senate and a solid majority in the House.
In 2012, they gave us the same thing. Now the GOP slouches towards 2014 and the question that has to be asked is, will this be the last year of the GOP?
The GOP has never figured out the danger of pushing loyal people to the point where they don't give a damn anymore.
The conservative base is rapidly approaching the point where it doesn't give a damn anymore. When the choice is between evil and the lesser evil, many more conservatives are hitting the don't give a damn point.
A lot of pundits in Washington say the Republican Leadership despises its base. The base may be ready to start despising back.
Views: 2895
One view is that the Progressive Republican Party is intentionally losing these elections to indirectly " elect" their progressive mates to take power because these power hungry elected officials hate the conservative base, and see our Constitution and Bill of Rights as obstacles to Progressivism. We need to identify and ridicule those who have taken advantage of conservatives through Deceptive Election Marketing. We need to publicly shun them, daily, and use their own Rules for Radicals against them. I have also changed my party affiliation to Independent.
I recently changed my political affiliation to "Independent" for the first time in my adult life because I am disgusted with my "Old" party. You know it is bad when I actually consider thanking Charlie Rangle, (Dem) for standing up to "O" on us getting involved in Syria !
He (Rangle) along with some other Democrats are at least taking a stand about this and other issues when even when the likes of Senator McCain, Lamar and Alexander won't and are pushing us towards WWIII !
I have called many elected reps in Washington and prayed "O" is stopped from doing this and I hope my prayers are answered. My advice, flood Washington with phone calls and e-mails on this folks and most importantly pray for our country to be protected from these idiots !
Too bad that "None of the above" is not on all ballots. If "None of the above" won, redo the election within 30 days and none of the previous candidates can run. And before someone says that it would be too expensive-do you really think that having a joker in office is not expensive (monetary & loss of freedom)?
When are we going to get a clue that you can't heal a broken Republican party, we will have to start a new one sooner or later. I would prefer sooner-but that's just me!
Some in the GOP [like Karl Rove] think only in terms of winning elections [which loses more elections than it will ever win], instead of governing by Principles. However, Please Folks, look upon our GOP like a beloved pet dog [or pet elephant if you will] and never forget that we love it and even when we must discipline it, do so out of Love.
Many, sadly not all in the GOP, even some RINO's, grew up in a time when most were Spiritually & politically "asleep." Most are educable, or like even an old dog, may learn new tricks when worked with over time, Lovingly.
The rest, the ideologically devious and or evil [i.e. "Progressives"], simply need identified, exposed, and shunned, but still out of Love. Like God, let us Love sinners but Hate sin.
I offer another meme, Work harder tomorrow, rest once Eternity arrives.
Never, but never make an enemy of a friend. It makes no sense and it is usually regretted.
Sad,but true.
4 million stayed home and the Rs lost the Presidency - who do you blame?
Ever think Republicans staying home is the intent of the Republican party.
They are already assisting the Democrats, what better way to assure the democrats win than to dishearten the Republican base to the point they throw up their hands and give up???
The powers that be control both parties, so the ultimate objective is the same for both parties, regardless of which party is the majority.
The only way America can win is to elect working class people who have common sense and kick everything in Washington out, then investigate each for "Criminal conduct" while in office, especially the undocumented president.
Sharon then move that State will die . .
When we have state government that will not do what the people want. What are we to do. They kiss O --- and smile at us at home. How can we get them to do what we want. They don't give a dam about our country. Just their place in it.

Ionic Liquid Ion Sources (ILIS) for Micro/Nano-Fabrication
Carla Perez-Martinez, Paulo Lozano (Associate Professor)
Timothy Fedkiw (PhD Student) and Jacques Gierak and Stéphane Guilet (LPN/CNRS, France)
Objective of the Research
Ionic Liquid Ion Sources (ILIS) are devices that can be used for space propulsion. The source consists of an electrochemically-sharpened tungsten needle, which is covered in an organic ionic liquid. By applying an electric potential between the needle and a downstream metallic extractor, a structure known as a Taylor cone is formed at the tip of the needle. Once we exceed a threshold voltage, ions and droplets are extracted from the cone, and pass through a hole in the extractor. The emitted particles provide thrust; this emitters can be microfabricated, and they could be applied to missions in small satellites that require precision.
Another possible application of ILIS is the field of lithography, specifically for Focused Ion Beam (FIB) applications. The ILIS beam can be focused using special optics and then directed to a substrate for patterning. Traditionally, Liquid Metal Ion Sources (LMIS) have been used in FIB, but the ILIS, which has the same working mechanisms, could bring many advantages to these processes. For instance, the stable operation at low currents helps improve the resolution of the beam. Also, the variety of ionic liquids is immense, which increases the number of possible applications of an ILIS based FIB. [1] Ions present in some of the ionic liquids are reactive, which could eliminate the need of reactive assistance in some FIB etching processes [2].
This work aims to characterize the influence of the emitter-extractor geometry and extraction polarity in the ion beam shape in order to characterize the setup geometry. Additionally, this project also studies the energy characteristics of the different ion species contained in the ILIS beam, by introducing a mass filter in the ion beam path. Also, as part of a collaboration with the French Laboratory for Nanostructures and Photonics, it was found that ILIS are capable of fast etching in silicon, and a summary of the results presented in [2] are summarized below.
Approach / Tools
A beam visualization system is used to observe the emitted beam; the ILIS is mounted on a movable stage with submicron precision, which allows modifying the position of the needle with respect to the extractor in situ. The beam is attenuated by a set of grids before hitting a microchannel plate (MCP). The MCP walls emit electrons as they are hit by the ions, and the electrons go on and excite a phosphor screen. This screen glows and the spectra is captured with a camera. The images are then used to determine the ion distribution.
|Fig 1. Electrospray Beam Visualization System
The second project is the magnetic filtering of the ILIS beam. For this experiment, the ILIS is placed in front of an optics system that focuses the beam, which then enters a steel structure. The steel structure contains two strong permanent magnets; the steel redirects the magnets field and creates a uniform magnetic field along the beam passage. The beam, which consists of several species of ions, each with different weights and energies, will be split into several beams due to the action of the field. Each of the smaller beams is then captured by a retarding potential analyzer (RPA). The reading of the RPA can be used to determine the energy of each of the species contained in the beam.
|Fig 2. Setup for experiments with the magnetic filter, and RPA detail.
Ion Beam Visualization:
The beam of an ILIS using the liquid EMI-BF4 has been produced and visualized with the BVS. It has been found that the source is stable in an alternating polarity regime, and that the beam shape is parabolic, confirming the models in [3] and [4]. Also, unstable behavior has been observed in the formation of several Taylor cones for some emitter positions.
|Fig 3. (a) Sample beam profile for ILIS operated at -2.75 kV showing a parabolic profile. (b) Beam profile showing the formation of several Taylor cones for an unstable test.
Development of ILIS for Microfabrication:
During the summer of 2009, in collaboration with the French Laboratory for Nanostructures and Photonics, the potential for ILIS in direct microfabrication was explored. ILIS were found capable of fast etching in monocrystalline silicon. Silicon wafers irradiated with an EMI-BF4 ILIS during half an hour at different currents showed sputtering of materials for ion energies of 15 keV.
An XPS analysis shows that the landing ions create volatile species that accelerate the etching rate, by reacting with the silicon surface. Also, this process leaves a surface roughness almost equal to that of the native surface.

|Raw Whey Protein Powder- The Ultimate Grass Fed Whey
Protein Source
Raw Whey Protein Powder is a unique supplement derived
from grass fed cow's milk. The casein, which is a milk protein
commonly associated with allergies, is removed when
producing whey protein. Raw Whey Protein powder contains
an excellent spectrum of amino acids which are the building
blocks of protein and are also the precursors of hormones
and neurotransmitters such as thyroid hormone, serotonin,
melatonin, dopamine, adrenaline, etc. Raw whey protein
contains a large amount of beneficial proteins called
immunoglobulins, lactoferrin and serum bovine albumin which
help the body heal and develop proper immunity.
Egg white was long considered the gold standard for protein quality and was assigned a biological
availability value of 100%. Every other protein source such as beef or fish was
measured as a percent of the quality of egg white. But when the biological availability of raw whey protein
was discovered to be much greater than that of egg whites, the percents
were changed to whole numbers. Egg whites were assigned a value of 100 and raw whey protein powder
measures well above 100, depending on the production methods.
Are all Whey Proteins the Same?
NO! Just as there are many different types of cheese, there are also many different methods of extracting
whey protein from whole milk and each process has an effect on the quality of the whey produced. There is
micro-filtration, ultra-filtration, cross-filtration, and ionization to name a few. But the most important aspect of
whey processing is heat, or more specifically, lack of heat.
Raw milk has never been through the heating process of pasteurization which denatures the health
promoting proteins and destroys the beneficial enzymes found in the raw milk. Typical high-heat
pasteurization denatures the protein which means the beneficial enzymes, immunoglobulins, lactoferrin,
serum bovine albumin, growth factors and active peptides are denatured or broken down into the individual
amino acids. This destroys the beneficial healing effects of the original proteins.
How much Heat is too much Heat?
There are two factors of heat that may have an affect on whey protein: 1) the amount of heat (temperature)
and 2) the duration of the heat (time).
In order for powdered whey protein to be legally sold in th United States, it must be pasteurized. The FDA
has recognized four possible ways to safely do so:
The milk used in Dr. Webster's Complete Raw Whey Protein is subjected to the minimum amount of heat
allowed by law. This low temperature process kills bacteria that might be in the milk but does NOT denature
the healthy proteins or enzymes found in the fresh raw milk.
The graph below shows the intact protein content obtained when testing our final product versus a typical
pasteurized whey powder.
So is this product still Raw?
I get this question a lot. The answer depends on which of the three definitions of "raw" you use.
Definition #1- Raw: No heat has been added
Everything in the known universe has heat. Even things that are very cold have some amount of heat. To
have "no heat" means that the object is at absolute zero which is -273.15 degrees Celsius. And that
temperature has only recently been achieved in a very exotic lab experiment.
This definition makes no real sense as it applies to food.
Definition #2- Raw: The product has not been heated beyond its environmental temperature
If a cow is milked in the winter, the environment might be very cold compared to the temperature in your
house. If a bucket of fresh milk is taken straight from a cow on a cold, 35 degree day and into a warm house
where the temperature is 72 degrees, would you say that milk is no longer raw just because the milk has
been heated from 35 degrees to 72 degrees? Would the milk be less healthy at room temperature? Isn't the
room temperature milk just as "raw" as milk that is produced in the summertime when the outside
temperature is above 72 degrees?
Obviously, this definition is of no real use as it applies to food either.
Definition #3- (from Webster's dictionary) Raw: Unchanged or Unaltered from its natural form
This is the proper definition to use when health is concerned and it is the definition that we use when we
claim that our product is "raw." We test our milk before and after and have determined that all of the health
promoting proteins, amino acids and components in the fresh raw milk are completely unchanged and
unaltered by our proprietary gentle processing technique. So yes, we feel that our product does qualify as
a truly raw product by the only definition of the word that makes any logical sense.
Cysteine and Raw Whey Protein? How does this help our
bodies Detoxify?
Cysteine is one of the 20 or so amino acids that combine to make up all of the different proteins that make
up life. Different combinations of the 20 amino acids make the diversity we see in the proteins that make up
enzymes, bones, muscles, nerves, hormones, etc. When we do not have enough of one of the amino acids,
our ability to make the proper proteins that our bodies need is severely diminished.
Although every amino acid is important, the amino acid cysteine should hold special importance to those
trying to detoxify their bodies. Cysteine contains sulphur which means that cysteine can bind to toxins
and ship them to the liver where the liver can further detoxify and eliminate those toxins. Without high
sulphur containing amino acids such as cysteine, the body can not effectively detoxify.
Cysteine is also a precursor to the most important anti-oxidant in the body- glutathione. Glutathione is
the most abundant anti-oxidant in the body that protects us from damage due to toxins and free radicals.
Glutathione is found in the highest concentration in the brain and the liver. No wonder low glutathione levels
are closely linked to neurologic disorders such as parkinsons and alzheimers as well as cirrhosis of the
liver. Glutathione is also in charge of pushing toxic metals, such as mercury, out of brain cells so that the
other detox pathways can eliminate the toxic metals from the body. Without cysteine, there would be no
glutathione to help your body eliminate toxic metals or to protect your precious brain or liver.
Heat and Cysteine
Excessive heat from pasteurization causes the amino acid cystine to be broken down into two molecules of
the amino acid called cysteine. When ingested, cysteine does not make it through the digestive process
intact. This may be the most important aspect of raw whey protein versus pasteurized whey. Raw whey
protein is full of cystine whereas pasteurized whey contains very little. That cystine will make it through the
digestive process and once absorbed it will be broken down into the all important amino acid called cysteine.
Clearly, our bodies require large amounts of cysteine (from digested cystine) which is most available in Raw
Whey Protein.
Can I get Cysteine/Cystine from other protein sources?
In short, not enough. We've already established why high-heat pasteurized milk and pasteurized whey
protein are poor sources for cysteine/cystine. But let's look at other common protein sources.
Goat's milk- As a whole food, goats milk is preferable over cows milk because it contains very few allergens
and is much easier to digest than cows milk. But when you compare the protein content in goats milk to that
of the low allergen raw whey protein, there is no comparison in the bio-availability and cysteine/cystine
content. Raw whey is much higher in both and raw whey is equally as easy to digest as goats milk. Further,
raw goats milk is very difficult to obtain unless you own a goat. Yet, raw whey protein is available right here.
Soy- If you want to detoxify, this is definitely NOT the protein source for you. For one thing there is virtually
zero cysteine in soy protein and second, soy contains high amounts of phyto-estrogens which will bog down
your detoxification pathways and increase cancer risk. In fact, one serving of soy based infant formula
contains the same amount of estrogen as five birth control pills!!! Stay away from soy protein.
Where can I get Raw Whey Protein?
Unfortunately, most health food stores and nutrient shops
do not understand the benefits of raw whey protein
versus pasteurized whey. I carry a professional grade raw
whey protein that was extracted from natural organic milk.
The Guernsey A2 cows are fed a year-round diet of
natural green grass- no pesticides or herbicides. Grass
fed cows are healthier than typical cows. This results in
healthier milk that is high in omega-3's and a nutrient called
CLA which aids in fat burning. The whey is extracted from
the fresh milk using a proprietary low heat filtration system
that does not denature the protein and completely leaves
the cystine intact (unlike cross-flow filtration, micro-filtration,
ultra-filtration, hydrolyzation, ion exchange or other filtration
processes). It is by far the finest source of whey protein I have found.

When I was growing up, we knew dinner was on the table by 6 p.m.
We always ate together as a family every night (except when my brother had practice for basketball or baseball, my sister with orchestra and plays and me with track or softball). Even with our extracurricular activities, we ate together more often than not. It was a time of talking with each other about our day at school, work, friends, family etc.
The project that promised a new bridge by the end of September on U.S. 421 near Campbellsburg has been pushed back.
Kentucky Department of Highways Public Information Officer Andrea Clifford said a geological survey performed prior to the project missed some obstacles.
"The crew encountered rock at an unexpected elevation," she said.
Free legal advice, free insurance policy evaluations and advice, free financial advice, free blood pressure checks plus retail establishment discounts and lots of other goodies will be offered in New Castle in September.
Add free entertainment and a shot at a $500 prize, and you've got what organizers are describing as a first of its kind event.
On Sept. 25, from 6 to 8 p.m., the New Castle Main Street Program will sponsor "Friday Night Alive in New Castle."
Like her ancestors, Henry County native and lifelong resident Virginia Harrod is drawn to the Kentucky River and a place called Marshall's Bottom.
Marshall's Bottom was so named for the first family to settle this remote area of Henry County in the 1800s.
Harrod's grandparents, Evan and Katherine Harrod were Lockport natives, both born in 1902. They married at 14, but didn't have children until they were 28 years old.

Henry County Public Schools has its first confirmed case of the flu, but officials do not believe it's the H1N1 strain.
HCPS superintendent Tim Abrams said Friday that the district has one confirmed case of flu at Eastern Elementary School.
Abrams learned that residents with flu symptoms in our region are not being specifically tested for H1N1 because the flu so far has been mild.
Local health department officials confirmed that assessment.

David Neville is a farmer. But David Neville also is an auctioneer. And he'd like to combine the two.
In the near future, Neville will open Capstone Produce at the former Southern States building at the intersection of Kentucky 55 and U.S. 421 east of Campbellsburg.
For the last five years, Neville said, he's been looking for a way to do a produce auction. That, he said, would be similar to the livestock auctions he already conducts for places like Tri-County Stock Yards.
Two people have been indicted after they allegedly attempted to cash forged money orders in Henry and Shelby County businesses.
Anthony J. Hewitt, 31, Crestwood, is charged with 20 counts of second degree forgery. Miranda Armstrong, 27, of Eminence, is charged with four counts of possession of a forged instrument.
In July, Armstrong purchased 20 money orders for $2 each at the Eminence Post Office according to post office employee Angie Lantz.
