Do you really want a choice or do you want apples produced by farmers afraid to take a financial risk? Check out the January 3, 2014 Sacramento Bee article Michael Doyle, "Genetically altered 'Arctic' apples may be headed to market." GMO apples known as Arctic Apples or Arctic Granny Apples concerns the debate between the US Agriculture Department and the huge apple industry, and organic apple farmers are waiting to see who gets the last laugh, at least financially. It's all about the Arctic Apple. Will it be an economic boom or disaster? And for who--the apple industry or the guy eating the apple for health benefits?
See, what's going to happen is that honeybees will spread the pollen, maybe, from GMO apples to organic apples. And the organic orchards, once contaminated will blame the GMO apple growers, the huge industries. It's going to be the first genetically engineered apple in commercial production. And it's all about trying to prevent a natural oxidation, like rusting when exposed to air.
Honeybees pollinate apple trees, and they travel
Browning is a natural process related to the exposure to oxygen. And vitamin C such as lemon or lime juice stops the browning when you slice an apple for a salad. Try slicing fresh apples over mashed avocado and using lemon or lime juice as a salad dressing, perhaps with a teaspoon of lemon-flavored cod liver oil, and you have a salad.
The issue also is about whether the Agriculture Department's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service will or won't grant "non-regulated status" to varieties called the Arctic Golden and the Arctic Granny. Approval would give the commercial green light to some fruit growers.
The apple growers are waiting for full deregulation of the apples this year so they can genetically modify the fruit. But probably, it will be a few years before Arctic apples enter the food supply as the orchards mature into productive trees, but soon after, what happens when the honeybees contaminate the organic apple growers' orchards?
Growers are concerned that browning makes the apple taste yucky or have less nutrition
Notice, growers are going for the GMO route instead of telling shoppers to simply dip the sliced apple pieces in lemon juice? It's about money and shelf life, as is the case with processed food packagers and manufacturers. Browning also limits an apple's fresh-market, fresh-cut and processing applications," according to the Agriculture Department. For further information, see, "Genetically altered 'Arctic' apples may be headed to market."
The GMO fruit is called Arctic apples
Would you buy genetically-modified (GMO) apples that were changed so they down brown when cut? Or would you prefer organic apples and simply keep them from browning by dipping your apples in lemon or lime juice (or apple cider vinegar)? If vitamin C powder (ascorbic acid) and water are put on the apples, they also would not quickly brown after being cut. See, "Capital Press | GMO apple stirs up storm in industry."
So why go to GMO lengths to make apples that won't brown when cut or bruised by changing the genes of the apple in such a way as to stop an enzyme from doing its job of oxidation (browing) on the cut or bruised apple? Those GMO apples have been engineered to "silence" a gene that causes browning when they are sliced. For big farma using big pharma, GMO apples could reduce costs and increase sales in the sliced-apple snack business as it boosts overall apple consumption, which has been flat for decades, maybe. Maybe not.
What if you eat the apple and that same enzyme in your body is stopped from doing some other job it's supposed to do? How do you know what those apples will or won't do to your body in the long term? It all depends on who's listening to the consumer and who's being heard.
If you stick to organic apples, what happens when the organic orchards become contaminated with the GMO apples, for example when the wind blows or there's a water runoff?
Announcements by McDonald's Corporation (NYSE:MCD) and Gerber Products Company stating that they would not use Arctic Apples, the world's first genetically-engineered apples, pending approval by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, emerged a few months ago. You can check out the article, "GMO Apples Rejected By McDonald's."
The moves by the major food suppliers suggest that all the bad press on GMO foods is having an impact, despite any political wins the biotechnology industry has had in the ongoing fight over the products, notes the article, which also explained that the international environmental network Friends of the Earth announced that Gerber and McDonald's wrote letters dated Oct. 31, 2013 and Nov. 1, 2013 respectively, confirming that they would decline to use the "non-browning" apples in their foods.
That article explained, "As stated in your letter all of our GERBER fruit and vegetable purees are made without using GM crops," Gerber's letter reads. "We do not use Artic Apples nor do we have plans to use Arctic Apples in the future."
Currently a Canadian grower hopes to gain USDA and Canadian approval to grow and sell genetically modified apples early next year. The U.S. apple industry fears it will damage sales. Growing applies is big business, a multi-billion dollar industry.
Apple growers who are not planting organic orchards may be looking forward to receive government approval for production and sales of his Arctic-brand Golden Delicious and Granny Smith apples in the U.S. and Canada.
On the other hand, the apple industry opposes USDA approval, not out of opposition to genetic engineering but out of fear it could cause apple sales to decline because a lot of consumers demand organic apples or at least affordable apples free of genetic changes that go into the human body or animals when the apples are consumed.
The apple industry fears financial risk
If consumers refuse to buy, the apples won't sell, and it's taking a huge financial risk that puts organic produce as the apple of the shopper's eye seeking health benefits. Big farma just as big pharma (the industry) likes science but hates financial risk. The risk means introducing the GMO apple into the largest producer of apples in the U.S. For example, Washington state is famous for its apple-growing industry.
Some people refer to large fruit growing as an industry as farmgate, meaning industries of growing apples for billions. For example, in 2012 the apple crop in the USA amounted to about $4 billion to $4.3 billion, excluding packing, shipping and processing, with about three-fourths of that coming from Washington, according to the U.S. Apple Association. You can check out the U.S. Apple Association on Facebook, U.S. Apple Association | Facebook.
Would you buy only organic applies if you knew the other types of apples were going GMO?
You keep reading the same repeated mantra in news articles that no health risks have been associated with GMO. But studies do say differently. See, "Arctic Apples – A New GMO Breed Not Made By Nature - Blogs." or see, "Tell Gerber: No GMO apples in baby food! · Causes." Out of the controversy over genetic engineering to make more money for the industry or export GMO produce to other countries to "save the world" or simple public awareness, you have a controversial issue that divides people when it comes to media coverage of the news about studies in mainstream versus niche publications or video media. See, "Monsanto's GMO Corn Linked To Organ Failure, Study Reveals." There's the article, "Altered Food, GMOs, Genetically Modified Food - National Geographic."
Genetic engineers can splice genes from the cecropia moth into apple plants, offering protection from fire blight, a bacterial disease that damages apples and pears. The purpose is the same: to insert a gene or genes from a donor organism carrying a desired trait into an organism that does not have the trait, says the article. If you check out the National Geographic article, it explains how the engineered organisms scientists produce by transferring genes between species are called transgenic.
It's not only about apples. A few dozen transgenic food crops are currently on the market, among them varieties of corn, squash, canola, soybeans, and cotton, from which cottonseed oil is produced. Most of these crops are engineered to help farmers deal with weeds, insects, and disease. What about apples made healthier for people by knowing how each change affects the organs, arteries, allergies, and systems of humans or animals who eat them? A lot of consumers worry about allergies. Check out the article, "Anti-allergy genetically modified apples - Phys.org."
In fact 75% of people allergic to birch pollen are also allergic to apples, according to the article, "Anti-allergy genetically modified apples - Phys.org." That article explains how that happens because a protein in the pollen, which causes an allergic reaction, is similar to a protein found in apples and some other fruit and vegetables. The issue is more common in regions with many birch trees, such as central and northern Europe.
How you look at GMO apples, it pushes peoples' buttons. GMO food labeling is another issue that the industries fear will put them at financial risk. The news articles make it appear to consumers that the industry fears financial risk more than having the empathy and compassion to look into human health and do research as to what happens when GMO foods are eaten by animals or allergies humans complain about and the possible causes. It's a debatable subject.
The industry for the present is scared of consumers. Will the customers buy the GMO apples? What type of financial risk is ahead, they may wonder. And shouldn't GMO apples be labeled as to what's been changed from nature? Some big apple growers tell mainstream media that they are not involved in GMO apples and have no plans to start. Others are cautious. What would you do? Accept the market, move forward, or talk more about going organic?
Genetic modification is not breeding. It's a big step, a change that needs to take into consideration consumer acceptance or rejection. The consumer is king as long as the growers are listening to those who buy their products. Is the consumer always right when the consumer focuses on examining the research studies? And is the consumer friendly with the biotechnology industry, the organic growers industry, or other educational projects? If consumer education is vital, when it comes to finding out how GMOs will personally impact you, it's more than attitude.
Shoppers want to know what happens when they eat the apple that scientists working with the growers were told to go ahead and turn off one enzyme in the apple. What consumers are worried about is whether that apple, when eaten will also just turn off one enzyme in their body. And they worry if that happens, a cascade of health events might follow. But it may never happen. Still they worry about the possibility. Not everyone has ever chosen science as a past-time. You have people saying, let my doctor worry about health problems. I'll do my job attitude.
It's so easy just to pour lemon or lime juice over sliced apples to keep them from browning in the cooler. But it's about the brown spots on the skin, the peel of the outer apples in the supermarkets the growers worry about. The consumer will tend to buy apples that look unspotted with brown markings in store displays.
Who gets the competitive advantage? It's about financial risk and competition. You sell fear to get people to buy or not buy. Fear makes the markets go 'round, but not too much fear, or people will simply walk away from convention, from doing what the majority does. And it's what people can afford to pay for apples. You do have producers of sliced applies who don't want to use Arctic apples.
If you want to whiten your apples, use lemon juice or lime juice, apple cider vinegar, or ascorbic acid and water (vitamin C powder), because some people allergic to the ingredients in what some restaurants use to whiten sliced apples may get asthma attacks or can go into shock by eating a salad with certain types of apple whitening chemicals. It's much easier to whiten sliced apples with citrus juices.
If you eat apples, just eat organic apples, if you know the organic apples haven't been contaminated by commercial apples that aren't organic. See, "15 health benefits of eating apples | Nutrition | Eat Well | Best Health." Check out, "What contaminants are you eating - Dana-Farber Cancer Institute" and "The New Dirty Dozen: 12 Foods to Eat Organic - Good Housekeeping." And of course, the industry that produces fruit that's not organic wants you to buy their produce. Check out, "Organic Food Not Proven Healthier or Safer, Study Finds." But of course, what your goal represents is not to argue or boast whether which version of plant food is safer or healthier, but which piece of produce is more or less contaminated with pesticides, herbicides, or insecticides.
If you study the mainstream media comments, numerous owners of fruit companies who favor GMO applies don't comment in news articles. Other owners of fruit-growing firms tell news reporters that they don't believe the GMO apples would change the market. They'd plant the GMO apples, if the government approves. You can check out some research from the Agricultural Research Service of USDA and what they're working on regarding genetically engineered rootstock and trees to make them resistant various diseases of plants.
Consumers are looking at the speed of how private industry is moving ahead compared to government research
And what consumers want is quality and health benefits in fruit and other edible plant foods. Are you worried about scientists silencing a gene in apples to prevent browning? Are you concerned what it may silence in your genes or your enzymes if you eat the product long-term?
Growers want consistent quality. Consumers want health benefits. Deep pockets are seeking new frontiers. Some growers think that genetically modified corn and soybeans are already in the American diet, but unless you talk to organic growers, the question comes up whether the huge corporations that grow produce are thinking more about getting wider acceptance of GMO in all crops.
They aren't looking at the great divide in consumers between those who pay more for organic produce and those apartment renters and others who can't afford fresh vegetables unless they grow them in urban gardens or have a green house in winter and the back yard in summer. And there's the population of those too old for gardening who get fed typical "nursing home" food often thought of (but not necessarily in all places) ...lots of cheesy pasta, a twig of broccoli, a potato, some stringy chicken, or a burger, and a floret of cauliflower and call it a meal...and a bout of noro-virus in winter months, some years.
On the consumer's side, are various groups of green shoppers who don't want genetically-altered foods. What most everyone really wants is choice.
Can an apple a day keep a stroke away--for some people?
Some people are a lot more stroke-prone than others, and the strokes may run in families. But can eating apples or pears help?
Apples and pears studied for health benefits and possibly reducing risk of stroke
You can read the original study's abstract on apples and pears, "Clinical Sciences: Colors of Fruit and Vegetables and 10-Year Incidence of Stroke." A 2011 study of white fruits and vegetables, such as apples and pears, or cucumbers and cauliflower, showed that these white-fleshed fruits and vegetables may help reduce the risk of stroke.
While studies have linked high consumption of fruits and vegetables with lower stroke risk, the researchers' prospective work in 2011 had been the first to examine associations of fruits and vegetable color groups with stroke. The color of the edible portion of fruits and vegetables reflects the presence of beneficial phytochemicals such as carotenoids and flavonoids.
Researchers examined the link between fruits and vegetable color group consumption with 10-year stroke incidence in a population-based study of 20,069 adults, with an average age of 41
The participants were free of cardiovascular diseases at the start of the study and completed a 178-item food frequency questionnaire for the previous year. Almost every month, the news is filled with the results of studies about the health benefits of apples.
In the Netherlands, one study says that a high intake of fruits that are white inside—including apples and pears—reduced the risk of stroke by 50%. What the investigators found is that for each 25 gram per day increase in white fruit and vegetable consumption was associated with a 9 percent decrease in stroke risk, according to Dr. Stephen Sinatra's article on a new study, "Stroke Risk Factors—Why Younger People Are Having Strokes."
And regarding the 2011 study, because this initial research is still so new, the researchers caution against jumping to big conclusions. Nonetheless, these early findings published in the September 2011 online release of the journal Stroke are encouraging. Also check out the October 24, 2013 news article, "More Young Adults Being Affected By Stroke, Report Finds."
From a nutrition aspect, apples and pears and other white fruits and vegetables confer a number of health benefits, and fall is an excellent time to add them to your diet
White potatoes are a starch, for example, but cauliflower and cucumbers are considered white vegetables, among several other vegetables that have white flesh but are not considered a starch vegetable, and white fruit such as pears and apples were included in the study.
Try organic so you don't get the herbicides, insecticides, and pesticides. The most contaminated by pesticides of fruits and berries are strawberries. So stick to organic varieties. Also the most heavily sprayed fruits with pesticides are peaches, and apples. So you want to look for organic peaches and apples or pears. Also see the sites, "Stroke risk factors" or "Intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis."
Fruits and vegetables were classified in four color groups:
- Green, including dark leafy vegetables, cabbages and lettuces
- Orange/Yellow, which were mostly citrus fruits
- Red/Purple, which were mostly red vegetables
- White, of which 55 percent were apples and pears
During 10 years of follow-up, 233 strokes were documented. Green, orange/yellow and red/purple fruits and vegetables weren't related to stroke. However, the risk of stroke incidence was 52 percent lower for people with a high intake of white fruits and vegetables compared to people with a low intake.
Each 25 gram per day increase in white fruits and vegetable consumption was associated with a 9 percent lower risk of stroke. An average apple is 120 grams
"To prevent stroke, it may be useful to consume considerable amounts of white fruits and vegetables," said Linda M. Oude Griep, M.Sc., according to the September 15, 2011 news release, "An apple or pear a day may keep strokes away." Gripe is the lead author of the study and a postdoctoral fellow in human nutrition at Wageningen Uninversity in the Netherlands. "For example, eating one apple a day is an easy way to increase white fruits and vegetable intake. "However, other fruits and vegetable color groups may protect against other chronic diseases. Therefore, it remains of importance to consume a lot of fruits and vegetables."
Apples and pears are high in dietary fiber and a flavonoid called quercetin. In the study, other foods in the white category were bananas, cauliflower, chicory and cucumber
Potatoes were classified as a starch. Previous research on the preventive health benefits of fruits and vegetables focused on the food's unique nutritional value and characteristics, such as the edible part of the plant, color, botanical family and its ability to provide antioxidants.
U.S. federal dietary guidelines include using color to assign nutritional value. The U.S. Preventive Health Services Taskforce recommends selecting each day vegetables from five subgroups: dark green, red/orange, legume, starchy and other vegetables.
Before the results are adopted into everyday practice, the findings should be confirmed through additional research, Oude Griep said in the news release, An apple or pear a day may keep strokes away. "It may be too early for physicians to advise patients to change their dietary habits based on these initial findings," she stated in the news release.
An accompanying editorial notes that the finding should be interpreted with caution because food frequency questionnaires may not be reliable. In addition, "the observed reduction in stroke risk might further be due to a generally healthier lifestyle of individuals consuming a diet rich in fruits and vegetables," writes Heike Wersching, M.D., M.Sc., of Institute of Epidemiology and Social Medicine at the University of Münster, in Germany.
Study co-authors are: W.M. Monique Verschuren, Ph.D.; Daan Kromhout, M.P.H., Ph.D.; Marga C. Ocké, Ph.D.; and Johanna M. Geleijnse, Ph.D. Author disclosures are on the manuscript. Revenues from pharmaceutical and device corporations are available at the American Heart Association's corporate funding website. Also in another study, citrus fruits also helped prevent stroke, according to the news release, "Eating citrus fruit may lower women's stroke risk."

Foods and your adrenaline levels
Scientists at the University of California, Davis are studying three foods that raise your adrenaline level. Researchers locally also look at the three foods that raise your adrenaline level, foods that include caffeine, sugar, and alcohol.
Find out whether you need to block excess adrenaline by limiting responses from emotions, activities, or foods that raise your adrenaline levels. Check out the sites, Causes Of An Adrenaline Rush and Three Foods Shown to Trigger Anxiety and Panic Attacks.
For some people even a dessert of melted dark chocolate has enough stimulants to raise their adrenaline levels, even though for others, a small amount of chocolate has a calming influence. The main stimulant of chocolate is theobromine and not caffeine. Also see, Cocoa powder health benefits surpass fruit.
Theobromine in cocoa/chocolate helps elevate serotonin
Theobromine is relatively mild, and helps elevate one's serotonin. Yet some people start to shake when eating several spoons of chocolate and experience the symptoms of amplified adrenaline. Also check out, Cocoa and Cardiovascular Health.
Locally, in the Sacramento and Davis regional area, UC Davis studies the effects of adrenaline on the heart and also how cocoa consumption suppressed ADP- or epinephrine-stimulated platelet activation and platelet microparticle formation. Cocoa consumption had an aspirin-like effect on prmary hemostasis. See the study's abstract, "Cocoa inhibits platelet activation and function1,2." Also at U.C. Davis, another student received an award to study broken-heart syndrome, which also involves examining the role of adrenaline. See, UC Davis medical student receives award to study broken-heart syndrome.
Too much adrenaline circulating in your blood may lead to heart failure, which is different than heart disease. Adrenaline levels are constantly ramped in people with heart failure – the body's attempt to recharge a weakened heart. Decades of research have established a connection between elevated adrenaline and heart failure, but there is still much to learn about how it contributes to the disease. See, Dark Chocolate And Cocoa Powder May Help Lower Blood Pressure.
How too much adrenaline in the bloodstream contributes to heart failure
When your body becomes stressed, whether it be emotional or physical stress, the sympathetic nervous system kicks in and releases adrenaline into the bloodstream. Check out the June 7, 2012 news release, "Doubling down on heart failure: Researchers discover new route to disease, and drugs to match," based on the latest National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (NIH) study, which is published in the journal Circulation.
Also check out another abstract/extract of a research report from the journal Circulation, "Recent Advances in Preventive Cardiology and Lifestyle Medicine." In this new study, researchers identified a completely new pathway activated by adrenaline – the hormone that regulates rate and strength of the heart – that contributes to heart failure. Drugs that interfere with this pathway already exist, including a drug that has been tested as an antiplatelet agent in large-scale clinical trials.
News stories of athletes suddenly dying on the field when they're bloodstreams may be bathed in excess adrenaline during a game or a run have been reported. But how many scientists have linked chronically high levels of adrenaline in the bloodstream with the development of congestive heart failure for people who are not running or playing an athletic game or competition?
The culprit is a unique alliance of proteins
It's not so much the adrenaline itself doing the damage, but what the adrenaline sets in motion, those new pathways activated by the adrenaline. The culprit is an unique alliance of proteins that plays a major role in the development of heart failure.
For example, congestive heart failure is one disease and heart disease is another, usually caused by blockages in the arteries. In heart failure, the excess adrenaline in the blood is related to two proteins joining together to do harm in the body. These two proteins wreak havoc on the heart, not only the adrenaline. Some people have chronically high levels of adrenaline even at rest. But could some of this excess adrenaline be stopped if the foods most likely to cause adrenaline rushes on a chronic basis were avoided?
What if there were foods that can stop adrenaline from using proteins to possibly cause heart failure?
The new study in packs a powerful one-two punch in the fight against heart failure. The leading blow: Identification of a unique alliance of proteins that plays a major role in the development of the disease. The second but equally powerful hit: Drugs that interfere with this axis already exist.
Researchers may need to ask whether certain foods such as green vegetable juices can inhibit these proteins from playing a role in the development of heart failure. Though still in its infancy, the combination is just the type of research the scientific community is looking for in its efforts to speed up the development of the next generation of treatments for the nation's biggest killers, of which heart disease is the long-reigning champ. But how many researchers are looking at foods such as plant extracts?
Chronically high levels of adrenaline in the bloodstream spur a protein called PAR1 into gear
Burns C. Blaxall, Ph.D., FAHA, of the University of Rochester Medical Center, led the research team to the discovery, which revolves around adrenaline, the hormone that regulates rate and strength of the heart and causes our hearts to beat furiously in a crisis.
In a mouse model of heart failure, Blaxall's team found that chronically high levels of adrenaline spur a bad actor – a protein called PAR1 – into gear. Several years ago, collaborative work in Blaxall's laboratory showed that over-stimulating PAR1 in cardiac muscle cells leads to heart failure, while blocking it protects against the disease.
But, like most processes in the body, adrenaline doesn't drive PAR1 on its own; the team discovered it tags a middleman – another protein, called MMP-13 – which then prompts activation of PAR1 to wreak havoc in the heart.
"This research is very exciting because we've identified a completely new pathway activated by adrenaline that contributes to heart failure," said Blaxall, an associate professor at the Aab Cardiovascular Research Institute at the Medical Center, according to the June 7, 2012 news release, "Doubling down on heart failure: Researchers discover new route to disease, and drugs to match."
Even more exciting, the team demonstrated that targeting either protein in the pathway – removing PAR1 or inhibiting MMP-13 – prevented cardiac dysfunction in mice, suggesting that drugs directed at either may hold promise for the treatment of heart disease.
"Our idea going forward is that in addition to blocking the effects of adrenaline, which is what beta blockers were designed to do, it may be wise to also inhibit MMP-13, or PAR1, or both, to help patients with heart failure," noted Blaxall in the news release.
Inhibitors of MMP-13 are under evaluation
Potential drug candidates are already available. Inhibitors of MMP-13 are currently under evaluation, mostly as a potential treatment for rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, where MMP-13 has been shown to play a role in the development of each condition. Additionally, drugs that block PAR1 have been tested as antiplatelet agents – drugs that stop blood clots from forming – in large-scale clinical trials.
Blaxall says that in the future he plans to test drugs like these in animal models of heart failure. This strategy is in line with work being done by the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) at the National Institutes of Health, established in 2011 to address the gap between basic research findings and new treatments for patients.
The center is encouraging researchers to focus on compounds that have already cleared key steps in the development process, including safety testing, as they work to develop new therapies. In addition to Blaxall, Fabrice Jaffré, Ph.D., and Zhaoyang Hu, Ph.D., postdoctoral fellows in the Blaxall Lab, Alan E. Friedman, Ph.D., Department of Environmental Medicine at the University of Rochester, and Nigel Mackman, Ph.D., John C. Parker Distinguished Professor of Medicine and Director of the UNC McAllister Heart Institute at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, contributed to the research, which was funded by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute.
When is adrenaline (epinephrine) used to get rid of histamine during an allergic reaction?
Histamine is the chemical (neuro-transmitter) your body produces when you're having an allergic reaction. Your body also makes some histamine in your body. An allergic reaction, for example, to a bee or mosquito bite (for example), causes your body to release more histamine in the area of the bite, making your skin red and itchy or swollen.
In extreme cases, histamine levels in someone who is allergic to a bee sting or a particular food like strawberries can be elevated so high that it causes anaphylactic shock and possibly death. Adrenaline (Epinephrine) is the only chemical that can quickly eliminate histamine in a person.
Sometimes people who are allergic to specific allergens such as bee stings carry a pen to inject themselves if they're bitten by an insect to which they're allergic. And if they're allergic to a food such as peanuts or shellfish, they can inject themselves if exposed to prevent sometimes fatal shock and/or other sudden severe allergy symptoms such as difficulty in breathing.
Foods that help lower adrenaline levels
Certain foods are calming such as chamomile tea, if you're not allergic to the herbal teasan, pomegranate, decaf green tea, blueberry, mint, or hibiscus. If a calming teasan without caffeine makes you feel more relaxed, it has a good chance of lowering adrenaline in your bloodstream.
On the opposite corner, caffeine is a stimulant and raises adrenaline levels as do sugar and alcoholic beverages. Some people are so sensitive to wine that they suffer shortness of breath, flushing, and/or nausea with one alcoholic drink such as a glass of wine or beer.

Glow puck has no place on hockey helpers list
So Versus, the network of hockey and bull riding (which are sometimes indistinguishable, especially in triple overtime) is planning to bring back a modified version of the Fox Glow Puck, the worst TV creation since Baywatch Nights (I would have loved to have been there for that pitch: "It's like Baywatch, but without the skimpy bathing suits! Just more bad dialogue! And vampires!")
So Versus, the network of hockey and bull riding (which are sometimes indistinguishable, especially in triple overtime) is planning to bring back a modified version of the Fox Glow Puck, the worst TV creation since Baywatch Nights (I would have loved to have been there for that pitch: "It's like Baywatch, but without the skimpy bathing suits! Just more bad dialogue! And vampires!")
I always figured the Glow Puck, with it's strange blue cloud effect and comet-like fireballs, must be what it's like to watch hockey on hallucinogens (which, in retrospect, would have made the Senators' season much more tolerable). It was relentlessly mocked, discarded and placed in the NHL skeleton closet, next to Cooperalls, the Cleveland Barons, and the NHL on TSN puppets (if you don't remember, count yourself lucky).
Also this week, TSN's Darren Dreger reported that the National Hockey League has experimented with a "verification line," an extra line placed just over one puck-length behind the goal line, to help video review judges tell if a goal is really a goal.
This, of course, will be followed in two years by the "extra verification line" to reverify the verification.
Sorry, that's cheap. It's too easy to be cynical. Truth is, technological advancements are critical to the development and marketing of hockey. So instead of taking the easy way out with lame wisecracks, let's be productive and offer up some other ideas to improve the game we love, both on the ice, and on TV.
- Forget the Glow-Puck. What we need is the Glow Puckbunny. Whenever Elisha Cuthbert is present in an NHL arena, she will automatically illuminate so as to be easily located by television cameras -- and young defencemen. If some sort of chip has to be installed to make this technology work, I volunteer.
- Install an invisible electric fence surrounding the goal crease. It's simple keep-dog-in-yard technology. When, for example, Tomas Holmstrom's large booty makes contact with the crease, he will receive a brief, yet painful shock. If this fails to deter the crease intruder (knowing Holmstrom, he may actually enjoy it), the linesmen will have the authority to shoot him in the neck with a tranquilizer dart. This was suggested by Marty in Dallas. Thanks for your e-mail, Marty.
- With players now giving in-game interviews during time-outs, and occasionally while skating around the ice in warm-up, let's do them during play.
"We're joined now by Senators goalie Martin Gerber. How's it going down there tonight, Martin?"
"Great guys, feeling really good about my ... . Oh, geez, here comes a wrister! Crap ... five-hole. Umm, what was I saying? Oh, ya, my teammates are doing a really good jo ... yikes! Turnover! Top freakin' shelf again! Commodore what are #@$!in' doin?!?"
OK, that one needs more R and D.
- Better yet, forget microphones on players. All they do is grunt, spit and swear in a variety of languages. I say put microphones on fans! Here's a sampling of the kind of insight you'd get:
"Yo, Lenny, I swear to Gawd the stuff on these nachos is just melted Cheez Whiz."
"Can't be Pauly, it was $12.95. It's gotta be some fancy impawted stuff."
"Oh, ma Gawd! Look over at Section 12 Lenny, that fan looks like she's on fire!"
"Nah, silly, that's just Glow Puckbunny Elisha Cuthbert."
- Players should wear microchips so coaches can track shift length, skating speed and post-game nightclubbing ("Oh-oh, Ray's out again!"). This would also help with "too many men on the ice" calls. (Is it me, or has their been a ton of those this year?) Any time a team has an extra man on, that annoying car alarm noise will go off on its bench. As anyone who has woken up to it knows, this is worse than any penalty.
- Hockey needs more villains. How about darkening the video review booth so the NHL officials look sinister and evil like the banker from Deal or No Deal! Hey, wait, why not just scrap video review and decide close calls by playing "Goal or No Goal!" If there is a way to work scantily clad models with briefcases into the National Hockey League, it should be explored by the competition committee.
- Players should wear mini-cameras on their heads. Who wouldn't get a kick out of seeing Sidney Crosby's vantage point on a breakaway? Or Chris Osgood's view of a slap shot from the point? Or having Sean Avery look directly into your eyes and say nasty things about your mother. Well, actually it would be some other player's mother, but it would feel like your mother. And that's ... kinda ... neat?
Note: the Head-Cam would not be as effective on Zdeno Chara, as all you would see would be people in the seventh row.
Hey, wait! Let's leave the head-cams on to get a taste of a player's life off the ice. This could be entertaining and revealing.
Especially when they go on dates with Elisha Cuthbert.

Maine 5, UMass 2
Jan. 15, 2005
Recap | Box Score | Photo Gallery
Marvin Degon on shorthanded goal:
On the power play you expect to have control and for things to go your way, but it was just a breakdown. Maybe guys let up a little bit and expect too much. They were pressuring the points more than I have been pressured all year. They got lucky, but we just have to deal with it.
Degon on the physical play of Maine:
It was very physical. Over the years that I have been here, Maine has been one of the most physical teams. Not so much in our rink, but in theirs, and I think they knew they had to carry it over to our rink.
Peter Trovato on line changes:
We are just looking for more consistency in the second half. It's not who's in and who's out, it's not the lines, it's getting more consistency from each player. It was a big problem in the first half of the season--one game we're there the next game we're out. We are getting better and being more consistent day in and day out and that will help the team collectively. Everyone has to bring what they bring to the table every night and that will make us better.
General comments by Coach Don Cahoon:
We didn't have the same energy that we had last night and I don't know what they did but they had more energy at the beginning of the game. Part of that might be us changing the lines and getting a feel for each other. But then we got snake bitten by not moving our feet and the number of infractions that we took.
On the shot totals from Saturday:
Shot totals are a direct result of power plays. They are going to have twice as many shots if they have twice as many power play opportunities. That's the reason the shot totals are scudded the way they are.
On pulling goalie Gabe Winer at the end of two periods:
Just for the record I didn't take Gabe out because of the short handed goal. I took him out because I thought he had been tested pretty well over the weekend and I was pretty happy with the way he played. We were trying to do anything we could to get our players attention, just changing it up. Throw someone in there and hoped the kids would respond to Timmy, a senior goaltender and maybe we could get a big time effort because of that. We were trying to get the guys enthusiastic about playing in front of a new guy.

Rated 4.4 out of 5 by 16 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by jebot Perfect Size Size just right to fit under airplane seat and easily roll through aisle, yet plenty of room inside. Quality much better than previous Travelon--no problem with zippers, handle, wheels. My only issue is the laptop padded compartment is only 11"long, but there is 3" above the padding so my 15" laptop does barely squeeze in the space--is also 1" below the compartment so the zipper easily closes. February 13, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by ocrshopper Best value in suitcases Love it and the fact that the wheels turn in all directions plus the fact that you can carry a change of clothes and reading material all in a compact carry on. Great value and cheaper than any other carry ons of the same size. May 27, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by GrannyTea Excellent Buy Purchased this Universal Carry-on on sale; so it was an even better buy! Perfect for carry-on and short day trips. Light enough to pick up when necessary; maneuvers easily. August 7, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Vagabonddeb All in one I am so excited to finally have a carry-on that does it all. The front zips open for your laptop, so you don't have to undo everything at security. And there is still plenty of space inside to carry anything you might need on the airplane, whether you are taking just a weekend trip with only this bag, or you are going halfway across the world with this as your only carry-on. August 13, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by radnor Carryon satisfaction Have not yet used for airline travel, though this model was selected for "under seat" use to avoid competition for overhead rack space. Good experience using it as weekend bag for auto travel. Next time will add plastic bags or packing cubes--without these aids, the bag needs to be flat on luggage rack or totally unpacked at destination. August 21, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by dalbuchs Just What I Needed Yes, this has worked out just as I needed it to. Easy to pack, capacious enough for my needs, and no-troublel fit on the plane. October 15, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by JimR Good Purchasse WAS WHAT I EXPECTED AND SHOULD DO WELL FOR FLYING OR FOR THAT MATTER REGULAR TRAVEL. October 30, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by LASteve A Very Nice Bag Positive: I was looking for a small, carry-on weekend bag. This bag has met my needs perfectly. It's got plenty of room for my weekend needs and it easily stores in the aircraft overhead bin. The interior computer pocket is the perfect size to store my iPad. Negative: The interior straps don't really work very well. Your stuff will move around if your bag isn't completely filled. I deal with this problem by using a couple of packing cubes to keep stuff from moving around. October 30, 2013

Morning before a doctor's visit.
Friday, May 10, 2013
I'm sitting here, up earlier than usual, skipping breakfast, just in case I need bloodwork done. I certainly hope that I have bloodwork done, going through this not eating thing. I get headaches from not eating on time.
My pre-doctor visit instructions were only water is allowed, take medications if you need (and I'd think that would be hard if it's "take with food"), and no exercise. Well, that's a bummer, I would have been able to pass a little time taking a walk since I have about an hour to kill before my visit.
Having gotten up extra early to have the car for the day, my system has already started to be awake earlier than usual telling me that I'm hungry. It's amazing that just a couple of years ago, I'd be able to gloat "I'm not hungry until 1 pm!" Now my body is used to this thing called breakfast. I usually grab my morning yogurt before I'm really even completely awake. Bringing my husband to work (even with it only being 3 miles away) I passed a Burger King, McDonalds, Subway and a Taco Johns, all open and ready to serve breakfast at 7 am or earlier. What I wouldn't give for a breakfast burrito or a sausage biscuit right now!
Like I've told a couple of other people, I'd love to have had a really early visit for bloodwork, but since it's such a hassle to have the car, it's just easier to do this all in one day. Being a one car family is tough, but fortunately my husband works close enough that I can just drop him off and have the car. If he worked farther (I couldn't think of him going all the way to the cities for this much hassle!) I would never be able to get out during the week or I'd have to be asking my 64 year old mother to bring me places, like she doesn't have anywhere better to be most days. We make due with the things we have and the abilities we are given.
I've written down my list, although the constant creaking I have in places should make them obvious, I know I'd forget one thing or another if I didn't make my list. I hope the doctor will actually listen to me today, he does seem to be one to try to pay attention, but as he's still fairly young (he seems about as old as me) he may still need some teaching from his patients.
I also printed out the "note to your doctor" from this site, inviting him to tell his patients who want/need to lose weight about a free resource to help them, I know not all his patients can afford the dietician he should be referring them to or some "weight loss" place that most don't really work long term anyhow for the majority of people. I also printed out more business cards so I'm prepared again to hand them out, I was down to just the one, so it was time to put more cards in my purse.
Once I get those kids off on the bus, it's shower time, then time to head off to the doctor. I suppose since it's been about 3 years since my last checkup, it's about time I went to see if I'm really aging well enough to last longer than how I had been treating myself at that time. Their scale may only tell them I've lost 40 pounds and he might even complain about me gaining back some weight since my last "blew out my ear" sick visit, but I have plenty to tell him today.

Fill up on water or tea if you can. Then at least the tummy won't complain so much
Very good idea to have a list for the doctor. Once you get in there the things I wanted to talk about fall out of my head!
So I take my list and even remember to go through it!

My dr always asks for top 3 complaints. Think that's enough and they stop listening to the petty stuff unless it's in with a major complaint. But, I do go for my annuals and blood work ups every 3 mos so he knows I stay on top of things. Good luck with your visit today.

Cary Grant is getTV's Friday Icon on July 18, which is great for his many fans. The classic movie channel will be airing three of Grant's movies, this will starting at 7 p.m. Grant is one of the most beloved classic actors that generations just can't get enough of, so it's no wonder why he's taking over getTV for a few hours!
The following Cary Grant movies that will be airing are:
"The Talk of the Town," is airing at 7 p.m, it's about comedy about a Supreme Court candidate that is being persuaded to help a fugitive, who has been framed for a deadly arson. Jean Arthur, Ronald Colman, and Glenda Farrell also starred with Cary Grant in this 40s comedy. It was George Stevens who directed the movie.
The next movie to air at 9:40 p.m. is "Once Upon A Time." That movie is about a shady Broadway producer, who seeks fame and fortune in a 9 year old boy's dancing caterpillar. Janet Blair, James Gleason, and Ted Donaldson also starred with Grant in this 40s fantasy comedy. On a personal note, I haven't seen this movie nor have heard of it!
The movie to air is at 11:40, the movie is "Walk, Don't Run." The movie is about a middle-aged electronics expert in Tokyo during the Olympics. He (Cary Grant) has to share an apartment with a young woman because his hotel suite is unavailable. Jim Hutton, John Standing, Samantha Eggar, and Charles Walters starred in this romantic comedy with Grant.
So once again this will be on getTV starting at 7 p.m. ET. Cary Grant fans will not want to miss this three movie marathon! Check out getTV's schedule that day and other other day to see when your favorite classic movies are on!

Hi everyone
Hope all are doing well.
I started a guitar school 4months ago. Have 8 students that I teach on a weekly basis for 30min each. At times I combine them two by two (group) for a lesson or two and than for the next week or two I teach them one- on - on.
However, I charge them $28 per month. I have one 9year old kid and the other are all working people. Between 25 - 50 years.
Can anyone give me some advise on how I can grow my Guitar School.
Thanks in advance

Research in my laboratory focuses on the mechanisms by which cells respond to toxicants, such as arsenic, chromium, and pharmaceuticals.
The first project investigates how arsenic delays cellular and organismal differentiation and development. Arsenic is a contaminant in drinking water in many parts of the world, and has been found at appreciable levels in rice and juices. Arsenic readily crosses the placental barrier and exposure is correlated with adverse developmental outcomes such as stillbirths, spontaneous abortions, neonatal mortality, low birth weight, delays in the use of musculature, and altered neuronal function. We are examining arsenic's effects on development and cellular differentiation in both cell lines and fish embryos using microarrays, qPCR, and immunohistochemical techniques.The second project examines ATP-dependent transport proteins, specifically Mrp1 and Mrp2, which are involved in the elimination of compounds from the liver, kidney, and intestine. This active elimination lowers both the concentration and the toxicity of the compound to the organism. We are examining how these transporters are regulated, what their normal physiological roles are, elucidating toxicants that may interfere with these protein pumps, and whether co-regulation exists between phase I and phase II enzyme systems and transporters.

Incline Village: Blazing the Trail for Property Tax Revolts
Look alive, tax appeal specialists. The WSJ's Jim Carlton has some red meat for you in this story about U.S. homeowners increasingly challenging tax assessments.
In some cases, they are contesting run-ups in property assessments when the housing market was flush. In others, homeowners argue their assessments haven't fallen as much as their home values have since 2008, Carlton reports.
Lawyers appear to be drawing inspiration from one case out of Incline Village, Nev., a wealthy Lake Tahoe community whose residents won a record $43 million in refunds and are seeking more. Among those entitled to refunds under the July ruling: Oracle Corp. billionaire Larry Ellison, former junk-bond king Michael Milken and Peoplesoft founder Dave Duffield.
The residents say Washoe County's assessments should be "equalized" with those of a nearby county, which has comparable land but assessments up to 50% lower. Lawyers for the residents will press the Nevada Supreme Court on Tuesday to reinstate a case that argues such equalization should take place.
Washoe County officials point to a 1981 change in state tax law that let county assessors use their own techniques to value homes rather than relying strictly on market values. "It kind of put all county assessors in the state in a bit of a no-man's land," said David Creekman, Washoe County's chief deputy district attorney, who is helping defend the county in the case.
The Nevada case could encourage more communities to launch challenges, said Sheila Anderson, a broker at Commercial Property Services Inc. in Ocala, Fla., who helped organize residential property-tax protests in her state.
"I think it's very significant and we're all watching it," she told the Journal.

I get great use out the videos and PDF tutorials. My latest system of use with the PDF files is to download them to my newly acquired KINDLE, rather than printing them. I expect the savings in ink and paper purchases to pay for the KINDLE.
However, the way the information is jumbled up makes it difficult to read. Perhaps, future PDFs could be written in a straight forward manner.
Elements techniques is extremely handy to have. Great tutorials and great source for ideas when trying to be creative with photography.
I wish you had an index of all your tutorials to make it easier to find what I want.
Mastering even a fraction of the Photoshop Elements program is a challenge. I'm giving it a shot.
I'm still using elements 7, but ready to upgrade. Although since I have been using 7 I have had problems with share. Before 7 I could send pictures with no problem with my Yahoo web mail. Since using 7 all email is sent using Microsoft Outlook. Is there a setting to change this, I have not found one.
Also when entering a new contact it does not remain in the Elements contact list. I have to reenter each time I send a picture. Because of these problems share is of little use to me.
Any suggestions.
I just installed Elements 9 and have it configured to my liking but I'm stymied on how to minimize an open image in the workspace to the project bin.
I have been using Elements 9 since it came out, so mainly the basics. I'm excited to learn as much as I can to improve my photos.
Which video will explain how to use text with the gradient and drop shadows? Thank you.
Just finish the entire book PSE 9 CLASSROOM IN ABOOK. Ejoyed greatly and learned a lot. Had areas of trouble could not get the lesson guided edit OUT OF BOUNDS page 192 to work and the Gradient layer mask never worked as suggested in book. However was able to get out of bound to work following Diana Day procedure. could not get her article on gradient toool to work either.

Normally you would expect a lot of rules when it comes to brewing a great beer. Thankfully some American craft brewers have broken a few of these rules along the way to produce some of the world's finest beers..Goose Island Beer Company is quietly establishing itself in de wereld van het bier. Just weeks ago they released The Endless IPA which celebrates the aroma and taste of hops in its Limited Release Series.
The hops used in this Limited Release Series trace their story to Elk Mountain Farms in Bonners Ferry, Idaho. Elk Mountain Farms plants, grows and harvests hops exclusively for Goose Island beers. The aroma and flavor of Endless IPA impresses with a one-of-a-kind Amarillo hops that are hand selected and picked early in the season at Elk Mountain Farms.
More recently Goose Island has released The Ogden, which is a Belgian Tripel (a strong blond ale). The term Tripel is derived from the low lands region of The Netherlands and Belgium, though the exact origin of the term is unknown. The Ogden is a tasty brew with lots of malt and citrus overtones. It is a strong and smooth ale perfect for summer cookouts.
Goose Island continues to impress bierliefhebbers everywhere and the future is filled with high expectations of more to come. Visit their web page www.GooseIsland.com for more information on the entire product line. Cheers, or as they say in Belgium, "cheers!" No translation is needed, enjoy!

'Pardon me, but do you have any Grey Poupon?' never seemed to get old as a kid. We still love that grainy mustard but we've been on the hunt for a new flavor to entice our palate and we hit the jackpot with this Pommery Meaux Grain Mustard ($22). Aside from the allure of the cute stone jar it comes packed in, this mustard has proved the test of time (it's been around since 1840) and is still ground in a traditional stone mill. We think we'll smear some on a baguette with ham and gruyere, or maybe we'll mix it into a fresh vinaigrette for a salad. The options are endless.

Leaves mark on communityFor 34 years, Larry Kent mentored and taught Moraine Park Technical College students using a real-life, project-based approach that teamed student learning with community service. Kent, of Fond du Lac, retired in May. During his lengthy career, he and his students have contributed to several significant community projects – a tribute to Kent's unwavering commitment to community service.While Kent launched his teaching career within Moraine Park's Water and Wastewater Program in 1977, he found his calling in 1983 when he assumed the lead instructor position in the Civil Engineering Technician Program. Since that time, he has taught approximately 13 different courses and mentored more than 300 program graduates. As the program morphed through the years, Kent and his students embraced a number of technological changes, including the transition from manual drafting to computer- aided drafting (CAD) and the mastery of a number of CAD software programs. All the while, however, Kent worked to involve students in real-life, community-based projects …
"Larry served on the Oakfield Village Board of Directors for years," said Tony O'Malley, former Board president. "He was an expert in civil engineering and having his expertise was a real benefit to the Village. Anytime he could put his students to work on a project, he did. Oakfield benefited a great deal from their efforts."
In the Village of Oakfield, Kent and his students designed the Oakfield Village Park shelter, which included restrooms, a warming house and storage building; as well as an announcer's booth for the baseball and football fields. At Acorn Park, in Oakfield, they also helped design a plan for development of the oak arboretum. Similarly, in Fond du Lac, they prepared a contour map to develop the band shelter and running routes at Buttermilk Park; designed and prepared a cost estimate for a picnic shelter for a local church; and surveyed the building, grounds and utilities at Camp Byron. Additionally, within Fond du Lac County, Kent and his students performed field surveys for several small municipalities as required by the Dept. of Transportation. And, most recently, his class worked on a bike trail at Moraine Park's West Bend campus."Larry and his students surveyed the area to determine how much fill and excavation was needed to connect our trail to the popular Eisenbaum Bike Trail," said Pete Rettler, West Bend online/campus partner at Moraine Park. "With this information, we obtained a very good project cost estimate and are now searching for grants to help cover that cost."
Through his teaching and service, Kent positively impacted his community and mentored his students to success in college and beyond. "I believe technical education should be practical," said Kent. "I tried to give the students real-life education by having real-life projects in the classroom, when feasible and practical. I made every effort to have students engage in leadership roles, while I acted as a consultant to them, filling in areas where they might not yet be technically prepared. They really enjoyed community projects because they felt good knowing their work helped someone out."A recognized civil servant, Kent leaves Moraine Park to pursue interests such as gardening, woodworking, music, camping, canoeing and reading, while still contributing to his community. Just last week he completed a painting project for a retiree as part of a mission project established by Kent and his friend. They help church members with home projects. "We have helped paint, do yard work, moved things and assisted other volunteer organizations," Kent said. Additionally, he is an active member of his local Lion's Club.In addition to his 34-year-tenure at Moraine Park, Kent holds a bachelor's degree in civil engineering from UW-Platteville, a master's degree in engineering from UW-Milwaukee, and a Professional Engineer in Wisconsin license. Prior to joining Moraine Park, he served as a process engineer for a major manufacturer of wastewater equipment and as a design engineer for a civil engineering consulting company.

Photos: Hurricane Ernesto bearing down on Yucatan peninsula, Mexico
Posted by Glen Barber on 08/07/2012 6:24pm MDT tags: Photo
CANCUN, Mexico—Hundreds of tourists evacuated beach resorts along Mexico's Caribbean coast as Hurricane Ernesto headed toward a Tuesday night landfall near Mexico's border with Belize, bringing the threat of powerful winds and torrential rains. Ernesto strengthened from a tropical storm earlier in the day, and the U.S. National Hurricane Center said it had winds of 80 mph (129 kph) by late afternoon and was moving west-northwest at 15 mph (24 kph). It was centered about 140 miles (225 kilometers) east of Chetumal, Mexico.

College Hockey:Minnesota power play clicks in shutout victory over Minnesota-Duluth
MINNEAPOLIS — Minnesota converted on four of nine power-play opportunities and Amanda Leveille only had to deny 10 shots to pick up her national-best 13th shutout and third straight as the Gophers downed Minnesota-Duluth 6-0 Saturday night.
"Real, real solid win here tonight," Minnesota coach Brad Frost said. "Great opportunity to honor our seniors before the game."
Minnesota-Duluth (13-13-6, 11-11-6-4 WCHA) played a more competitive game early, but was never able to generate much offensively.
Kate Schipper scored the only goal of the first period, just after a UMD power play came to an end. Seconds after Rachael Bona missed the net on a two-on-one break with Sarah Davis, Bona collected the puck behind the net and fed Schipper coming down the slot for her sixth goal of her rookie season.
The Gophers (32-1-1, 26-1-1-0 WCHA) added three power-play goals in the second period. Rachel Ramsey scored on a bomb from the point, Maryanne Menefee converted while skating five-on-three and Milica McMillen hammered a shot from the blue line.
"The points were wide-open," Ramsey said. "It's really fun for games like this for us to get some shots through. Everyone did an absolutely fantastic job of actually getting pucks through and getting it to the net, so that was good to see."
The fourth goal came just nine seconds after Megahan Huertas was assessed a five-minute major for boarding and a game misconduct. Minnesota's Megan Wolfe was dismissed for the same infraction in the third period.
Minnesota completed the scoring in the final stanza with a transition goal by Jordyn Burns and Dani Cameranesi depositing a rebound off of the end boards.
For the game, Hannah Brandt had three assists, Ramsey had a pair of helpers with her goal and Cameranesi and Kelly Terry had two-point games.
"I think that we have another notch that we can push a little bit further here," Ramsey said. "I think we're really excited to see exactly what that is once playoffs start next weekend, but this is the best we've played so far."
The Gophers have won 12 straight and are undefeated in their last 20 games.
"Duluth is always a good opponent," Minnesota senior captain Bethany Brausen said. "As you can see, they're probably just about the most physical team we've played all year. They've got some talented girls on that team as well. They bring a lot to the table, obviously, and I think that's a great series going into playoffs here."
The Gophers will host St. Cloud State in a best-of-three series beginning Friday, while the Bulldogs entertain Ohio State.
"Looking forward to playoffs here," Frost said. "It's a fun time of year."

Cleveland fans are getting a little happier today after the announcement that Joe Banner and Mike Lombardi are stepping down from the team. Ray Farmer has now been named the new Brown's GM. This offseason has been a shakeup since the night that they fired Rob Chudzinski after just one season as the head coach. Other teams will look to work more with the Browns during this offseason with this shakeup.
Since the end of the season and the entire hiring of a new coach, teams have been reluctant to work with the Browns front office. Banner, Lombardi, and owner Jimmy Haslam even have been nicknamed the "Three Stooges". The Browns' organization had trouble getting interested in getting head coaches, and even had three coaches withdraw their names. They finally settled on Mike Pettine and things started to look up with all the new coach signings including Kyle Shanahan.
With the step down of Mike Lombard, Ray Farmer gets his shot as an NFL General Manager. Farmer was the assistant GM under Lombardi and even turned down the Miami Dolphin's GM position. A former player, Farmer has what it takes to take his talents as a GM to the NFL level. Farmer lands a great first job chance with the Browns' GM postion. They have two first round picks in the upcoming draft, as well as cap room to make free agency moves.
With all of the mixing around in the Cleveland Browns' organization, this news has to be happy with the fans. Fans were getting tired of not understanding what Banner and Lombardi were doing. Farmer will have a lot to prove in the next few months to prove that the Browns can change their luck around.

The Library and Computer Labs are very grateful to the Associated Students of WSU Vancouver (ASWSUV) for their generous support. ASWSUV donations cover a significant fraction of the cost of printing, allowing us to keep the costs we pass on to students very low.

Jan. 24, 2014
Leading into the 2014 season, we will be posting Q&A's with our four freshmen on rolltide.com. This week, we're chatting with Peyton Grantham, an infielder from Daphne, Ala.
How did you get your start playing softball? "I played baseball until I was 13-years-old. At that point, I decided to switch to softball and see if I could take that to the next level. I also played basketball and volleyball in middle school."
Was softball always your favorite sport to play? "I was raised in a baseball and softball family so I knew softball was ultimately where I wanted to go. My brother Braxton played baseball at Alabama Southern and my dad played baseball in high school."
When did you realize that playing at the collegiate level was a real possibility? "It was probably about the eighth grade when I started going to exposure tournaments. My first one was when [Patrick] Murphy saw me and he talked to one of my coaches. At that point I realized that I might be able to go somewhere like Alabama."
Where you interested in any other schools besides Alabama? "There weren't really any other ones I was seriously looking at since I was recruited so early. I was looking at Mississippi State, South Alabama, Missouri and Florida a little bit. I only took one other official visit besides Alabama."
What were your first impressions of the University of Alabama and the softball program? "I just knew I wanted to be here. At a lot of places, they really try and sell you on the school and what they have and they pretend everything is perfect. Here at Alabama, it was like 'what you see is what you get' and I knew that was where I wanted to be. I didn't want to be somewhere that seemed fake."
When did you decide to commit? "I came on two unofficial visits after that and I came back to campus after a tournament heading into my sophomore year. Coach Murphy gave me an offer and I committed right away. My mom had tears of joy when I told her and my dad was very excited."
What do you think gives you an edge as a player in the SEC? "My competitiveness and my will to win. I guess I must have some other skills too or else I wouldn't be here!"
What was it like adjusting to college softball this past fall? "It was different, even though we weren't playing SEC-caliber teams. It's a lot more fast-paced. The great thing is that the whole team is behind you no matter what. The camaraderie is a lot different than what I was used to."
What are some of your goals for the 2014 season? "I think all of us want to be an All-American if possible. I definitely want to make the SEC Academic Honor Roll. Our team goal is to win the SEC and the national championship."
Outside of your family, who was your biggest inspiration during your softball career? "My high school coach, Lawrence Yelding. He was the one that really got me into softball. He came up to me once during my sixth or seventh-grade year and told me I needed to play. At first I said no but he chased me around until I finally said OK. If it wasn't for him I wouldn't be here."
So far, what has been your favorite thing about Alabama softball? "It has definitely been the camaraderie with my teammates."
