Allgaier Earns First Career Victory In Scotts Turf Builder 300
Justin Allgaier drove through multiple wrecks and spins to collect his first career victory in the Scotts Turf Builder 300 after a wild Saturday afternoon at Bristol Motor Speedway.
While he qualified deep in the field, the Riverton, Ill. native was able to steadily move from his 30th place starting position as soon as the green flag dropped.
Allgaier, who edged teammate Brad Keselowski for the win, was thrilled to earn his first career victory, and was proud to earn it at the World's Fastest Half-Mile.
"I couldn't be happer to be here," he said from Victory Lane. "I want to thank the fans. I couldn't be happier to see the two Penske cars running for the win. This is pretty awesome. It is unbelievable... this is one of my favorite race tracks."
"I hope this is the first of many to come. I want to thank God, too. He has given me a lot of good doors to walk through."
Eight cautions slowed the event and sent several cars to the garage with twisted metal and frustrated drivers.
One accident saw the cars of Colin Braun and Steve Wallace turned in to a mangled heap. NASCAR officials red flagged the event for a little more than 12 minutes to clean up the carnage on lap 91.
Keselowski, who came to Victory Lane to congratulate Allgaier, said that if he had to finish second to anyone, he was glad it was Allgaier.
"I'm proud of Justin," said Keselowski. "He had the opportunity to rough me up and he didn't. I'm happy for Penske and glad to have another top finish."
Third place went to Kyle Busch, Carl Edwards finished fourth and Kevin Harvick spun Joey Logano on the final lap to claim fifth. Harvick described his side of the incident after the race.
"I raced with him and raced with him and he kept chopping me and I got into him," Harvick explained. "I hate that happened...but you got to do what you got to do."
Keselowski, known for aggressive driving, was asked if he also would have moved the driver in front of him if it was someone other than his teammate. He held his answer close to his chest.
"You never really know until you are in that circumstance," Keselowski said with a laugh.
The Scotts Turf Builder 300 was the first event of a Saturday doubleheader at BMS. The second event, the Scotts EZ Seed Showdown, features several of the sport's legendary drivers, including David Pearson, Cale Yarborough and Harry Gant.

Poor design and manufactured parts

Comments about BJs Wholesale Club STANLEY 15 hp Commercial-Duty Chipper Shredder:
I only have a small area and needed it to clear brush and tree limbs. It worked for several sessions then the clutch went and my troubles started. I had a Sears unit before this and it lasted 12 years. After getting 15 hp unit repaired, an additional cost, it broke again this time I scrapped it and went back to a Sears unit and have smiled ever since
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Great for homeowner - NOT commercial
By Pat in NJ
from Jackson, NJ
Best Uses
If you buy this with the right expectations, you'll be happy - we bought a property that was not maintained with smaller branches down everywhere. It does the job and I'm satisfied with the purchase, but the thicker branches (3 inch) take longer than I expected to get through. If the branch is "bent" and more than 2 inches thick forget it - it won't fit in the side chute because of the bend. Soft wood is doable at 4 inches if the branch is straight. Power is not an issue but the blade chopping capability is not commercial. I recommend this to a homeowner looking for a powerful chipper but don't expect commercial speed. It is one of the better homeowner chippers out there. BJs online customer service is poor.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I have never been more pleased with any purchase! Your contact and speed was super! Your shipper kept me informed and was very helpful. The chipper arrived in perfect shape, was easy to assemble, and works flawlessly. The transaction and product is outstanding! Thank you.

I knew this was a great buy as soon as I cranked up the electric start. It destroys large branches with ease, and the trailer hitch makes it easy to move around.

The "Stanley" name has a long history in my family. My dad and I still use tools my grandfather bought from Stanley in the mid nineteen hundreds! I Was surprised to see your name on power equipment. Have about 5 hours on this machine and so far I'm impressed. As long as I can get repair parts from you in the future, I'd recommend it to anyone. This chipper is a beast!!

Dec. 30, 2011
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - Alabama junior offensive lineman Barrett Jones announced he was returning for his senior season following Friday's practice inside the Hank Crisp Indoor Facility.
Jones, the 2011 Outland Trophy winner from Germantown, Tenn., started 10 games in 2011 at left tackle to help the Crimson Tide fill a need. His versatility and football intellect was key in the second-ranked Tide's run to the Allstate BCS National Championship Game.
"I have decided that I will be coming back to Alabama next year," Jones told the media contingent following Friday's practice. "I sat down with my family and made a list of pros and cons and decided I love college, I love being at Alabama and I love putting on the crimson jersey. I have a great group of friends, and I am in no hurry to get to the NFL. I do want to play in the NFL one day but I am not in any rush."
Alabama spent two hours on the practice field in full pads on Friday as they continued its preparations for the January 9, 2012, game with the top-ranked LSU Tigers at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans., La.
The Crimson Tide will work out again on Saturday before breaking on Sunday for New Years and returning to the practice field on Tuesday, Jan. 3. Alabama will then practice in Tuscaloosa on Wednesday before departing for New Orleans that afternoon.
"I am very excited," Alabama linebacker and Butkus Award finalist Courtney Upshaw said. "It will be my second championship game I get to play in, and I'll get to start this one, which is exciting."

On Friday, July 25, 2014 at 7 PM Lyft launched in New York City after finalizing agreements to offer rides to city commuters. Lyft will be serving the five boroughs of New York City, Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, the Bronx and Staten Island, starting with a beta launch, followed by a full rollout in the following weeks.
Lyft is a car service of its kind to come to New York City. Lyft focuses on a peer-to-peer model, a "community powered transportation" model, in which "neighbors are driving neighbors in their personal cars." To use the service, customers can request a car from the Lyft application on smart phones. Once the request is made, the customer will be matched with a nearby driver. Customers can then track the route and estimated time of arrival through the Lyft app. A photo of the car and the driver will also appear on the app, this allows the customer to identify the driver when they arrive. Once the ride is complete, the payment transaction will automatically be made through the Lyft app.
Unlike other cities, Lyft will use a Taxi & Limousine Commission (TLC) model in NYC, in which the drivers in New York City are required to register with the TLC. Currently operations in other cities, consist of drivers who own a car and want to drive during their free time, whereas drivers in NY will not have the same luxury and be required to register as cab drivers.
In the coming months Lyft plans to expand to Buffalo and Rochester. For more information on Lyft, please visit: www.lyft.com

Health care reform was passed yesterday, at almost midnight Eastern Time. As usual with sweeping comprehensive legislation, there was a lot wheeling and dealing up until the last minute. Most notably Rep. Bart Stupak from Michigan had a lot of concerns regarding the abortion language in the Senate version of the bill and President Obama took care of his concern with the promise of an executive order, re-affirming that no public funds will go towards payment of abortions.
Even up until the last minutes of the debate, there were angry showdowns and outbursts. Minority Leader John Boehner looked like he might blow a gasket when delivering his final opposition remarks on the bill. Rep. Randy Neugebauer of Texas shouted "baby killer" at Rep. Bart Stupak when Stupak reiterated to the members of the House that the "recommitting motion" is nothing more than a stall tactic to kill the bill on the part of Republicans and that he was satisfied with the abortion language along with the president's executive order. The debates wouldn't be complete if someone from the GOP side didn't make a complete fool of themselves and this is on top of the protesters outside of the Capitol building who shouted racial slurs at Rep. John Lewis and antigay slurs at Rep. Barney Frank.
The Republicans routinely like to distance themselves from the rogue faction (the name calling racists and homophobic members) of their party when it's advantageous for them, yet the Republicans also need their support when it comes to their own anti-Obama and anti-Pelosi agendas. The rogue faction of the Republican party is like what Reverend Jeremiah Wright was to President Obama—the ranting and raving crazy uncle you want to cut off but can't out of loyalty. It can be a real pickle when the crazy uncle in the family doesn't take the cue and go away. Surprisingly, Minority Whip Eric Cantor was more dispassionate in his opposition than the leader of his party.
The president wisely postponed his trip overseas until June so he can now implement the immediate provisions of this bill. States like California and Illinois will benefit immediately because of the severe rate hikes being imposed soon. The United States, even after this economic downturn, is still the wealthiest nation in the world, who every year gives billions of dollars in aid to other countries, but cannot take care of its own when it comes to health care. Families and senior citizens have gone bankrupt because of an accident or illness and the fact that many Americans are just one accident, one illness away from losing everything is unacceptable for the wealthiest nation on earth.
Specifically for California, the passage of the health care bill will require insurance for all legal residents. California will still have a high number of uninsured because of the illegal immigrant population. By 2014, Medi-Cal (California's Medicare system) will be expanded to include adults under 65 who make 133% over the national poverty average and will increase payments to physicians. Most importantly, children with pre-existing conditions will get coverage this year and those who don't have health insurance coverage due to pre-existing conditions, a high-risk insurance pool will be created within six months and subsidized by the federal government. There will be no annual or lifetime caps.
What remains to be seen politically is how much political capital is left for Speaker Nancy Pelosi, President Obama, Sen. Harry Reid and other Democrats. Pelosi took a huge gamble by personally spearheading the health care reform effort. When she ascended to the speakership in 2007, she made it clear to her caucus that she was not the one to lead from the background, she will lead from the front and center and she will gladly put her name on something she believes in. She certainly showed that conviction with this health care bill and as a result her reputation has taken a beating (the RNC called her Cruella de Ville among other unflattering names being flung at her). President Obama still has two more years until he is up for re-election so he still has time earn back the political capital that he lost in the health care fight, he doesn't seem too concerned about his re-election. Sen. Harry Reid's position is more precarious as polls in his home state of Nevada shows he is 10 points behind his Republican opponent. But it's not too late for Sen. Reid, Nevada is a state hit hard by the housing crisis and recession and if the effects of the health care bill reach enough people before the November elections, there is still a chance Sen. Reid will get re-elected.
Pundits have opined in column inches and news television shows about how the Democratic party will fare in the midterm elections and the general consensus is if they pass health care bill they could lose a lot of seats, especially the freshmen members of the house who were swept into office on President Obama's lead but if they don't pass the bill, it will appear that even with a huge majority, the Democrats can't govern. The Democratic leadership made the right choice by taking a big risk and passing the bill by any means because it shows that it's a party of conviction and will, whether the voters agree with that conviction is another matter, at least it can't be accused as a party that is fractured and can't govern, which is a more serious offense.
High drama aside, whether the bill passes or not, members of Congress won't be personally affected, they after all, have some of the best insurance policies in the country by virtue of their position. In the final analysis, what the Democrats and the president want, and what the Republicans fail to understand, is they want to give us, the American people, the same affordable health care coverage they enjoy, which is not radical or extreme. There is no socialist or Marxist agenda, there is no conspiracy for government 'take over' health care, which is one-fifth of the US economy and certainly, no one is going to pull the plug on granny or deny a special needs child care or services. So Congressman Boehner, in light of all that, there is really nothing for you to have your blood boil over, after all, you didn't suffer any personal loss, you just didn't get your way.

New Orleans Saints 17, Houston Texans 16
After a few struggles to start the game, the Saints seemed to settle down in the second quarter. Rookie wide receiver Kenny Stills got into the mix after catching a one-handed pass from quarterback Luke McCown for 46 yards, and then following that with a 14-yard touchdown reception to give the Saints the lead.
The Saints' offense got going quickly in the second quarter, only taking three plays to get into the end zone on their first drive.
Mark Ingram caught a screen pass from quarterback Drew Brees for a 29-yard gain, and Pierre Thomas followed that up by lining up in the slot and made a good cut for a 51-yard touchdown run.
That was enough for Brees, who left the game after completing four of six passes for 104 yards. McCown led the second scoring drive, hitting Darren Sproles twice for a combined 17 yards. Garrett Hartley made a 51-yard field goal.
The Texans scored a touchdown to open the game, but couldn't find the end zone afterward. Texans kicker Randy Bullock kicked field goals of 48 yards, 55 yards and 21 yards.

Laganas Holidays
You know what they say, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy! If you've been working a bit too hard and you're in desperate need of a good night out, why settle for a night? Treat yourself to a party week in Laganas, one of the top resorts in the Greek Islands.
Laganas is the largest resort on the island of Zante. It is the only 18-30 resort on the island and is certainly not the place to go for a quiet week. But if it's fun, beaches and partying you're after then you can't go far wrong.
With myriad restaurants, a choice of tavernas and bars and a smattering of top clubs, Laganas is the ideal destination for party-hungry people looking for a good time in the sun!

Laganas Weather
Laganas has a Mediterranean climate offering hot summers and mild winters with copious amounts of sunshine throughout the year. The best time of year to visit Zante is between April and September when the sun is at it's brightest and the temperatures at their highest. Don't worry that it's going to be too hot and sticky during the summer months, cool breezes called Meltemia provide just enough light wind to cool you down.
If a tan isn't top of your list and you would rather avoid the crowds, head to Laganas outside the peak summer months. Late September and October are much more quiet and relaxed but still offer great weather.

Laganas is in a fertile area which means much of the land is covered in lush greenery making for some stunning scenery. Of course, if you head to a Greek Island you're not necessarily looking for greenery, what you are looking for though is beaches! Luckily for you, you won't be disappointed. Laganas beach is beautiful 9km long sandy beach with clear blue waters, what more could you want?
Things To Do on Laganas Holidays
Laganas is known for being the fun-spot on Zante - and lets face it girls, what's more fun than shopping? The resort is a shoppers paradise. From cute markets where you can find unique goods and one of a kind crafts to souvenir shops and clothes stores were you can pick up designer clothes at great prices.
For many though, it is the stunning beach that makes Laganas their choice above others. Long and sandy, the beach is the perfect place to chill out after a night out!
Laganas was founded around the time of the Trojan War by Zakynthos, son of the King of Troy. It has a rich history that is still celebrated, despite the modernisation of the resort. To witness this it's best to time your visit with one of the local festivals including the Feast of the Virgin Mary on August 15th and December 17th, which marks the death of Agios Dionysios, the patron saint of Zakynthos.
If there's one thing Laganas knows how to do it's nightlife! The resort is full of great bars and clubs and there really is something for everyone. Zero bar is one of the most popular bars on the resort and comes complete with fire-breathing and flare bottles! XParadiso throws the best beach parties around while Cocktails and Dreams is a themed bar based on the Tom Cruise movie Cocktail.
While Laganas rocks into the night, the nearby resorts of Kalamaki and Vassilikos are chilled out, offering a much more laid back and authentically Greek holiday experience.

On The Beach provides some of the cheapest deals around for Greek Island holidays so why not book yourself a trip, pack your bags and you'll be letting your hair down before you know it! Use our live booking system to easily combine flights and hotels for the perfect holiday in Zante!

United States Marine Corps veteran Christopher Goodson was kicked out of a Mesquite Walgreens store last Thursday because of his service dog reported MyFoxdfw.com.
Goodson walked into the store with his German shepherd dog named Ben to buy a cool drink when the manager approached him and told him to "get the dog out." When Goodson explained to the manager that Ben was a service dog, the manager still wasn't buying the story because the dog wasn't wearing a vest.
"He could have walked up and discreetly asked me, 'Is this a service dog?' Goodson stated."
At this point tempers started to escalate when Goodson tried to explain that Ben was not required to wear a vest and since it was such a hot day, he had not put one on the dog. Goodson, however did show the manager Ben's identification card and tag identifying the dog as a service animal.
Still the manager refused to sell Goodson a drink and ordered him to leave the store.
The Americans with Disabilities Act does not require dogs to wear vests. Store managers only need to ask a person accompanied by a dog if the animal is a service dog. Ben helps the Afghanistan vet deal with his post traumatic stress disorder and depression.
A spokesperson for Walgreens has since apologized to Goodson and Ben stating:
"Service animals are welcome in our stores, and we understand the help they provide ... we will make sure our employees at this store fully understand the rights for the use of service dogs."

Mitchel Forman: Mr. Clean
Mr. Clean
Mitchel Forman (keyboards)
Mr. Clean (Marsis Jazz PG1/MJ1096)
Mitchel Forman (keyboards),
Walt Fowler (trumpet, flugelhorn), Brandon Fields (sax), Dave Carpenter (bass), Joel Taylor (drums).
Composed by Weldon Irvine.
Recorded: live at The Baked Potato, North Hollywood, CA, November 30, 1998
Rating: 89/100 (learn more)
Mitchel Forman is in quite a different bag on "Mr. Clean." This 1998 performance was recorded live at The Baked Potato, the famous North Hollywood venue where Forman still frequently appears. "Mr. Clean" was written by the late Weldon Irvine and has been covered many times, most notably by Freddie Hubbard on his Straight Life album. (Weldon played tambourine on Hubbard's version).
Mitchel Forman's Quintet takes the tune out. This arrangement is mostly a dark piece. Forman plays electric piano. He focuses more on dense shadings and deep slow funk chords than you would normally expect to hear from him. The tune is 16 minutes long, so there are several tempo changes. But even in the fast sections, Dave Carpenter's bass maintains an underlying slowness. Brandon Fields's solo is exquisitely intense. Fowler's trumpet spits out bursts that entice Forman to comp his ass off. The band explores many elements in a free section. Taylor's active drums give some semblance of organization during these forays. The band turns funky electric for a bit before returning to the classic melody, sounding every bit like a fine straight-ahead jazz band playing the tune in 1970 ŕ la Freddie Hubbard.

Accuracy ALWAYS WINS! So carry what you can hit with.
If you find yourself in a fair fight your tactics stink.
I mostly carry an S&W model 457. The Smith has never failed to fire, and eats anything I feed it, including mixed magazines. I.E. ball mixed with hollow points, as well as two different weights (215 grn and 230grn) My other carry .45ACP is a Taurus PT 1911. It had some issues with the gun locking up so the trigger could not be pulled. I had the safety locking hammer replaced with a Wilson combat hammer and sear and haven't had any further problems in several hundred rounds since the replacement.
This is all you need. The Glock30SF. 10+1 of whatever you like. About 33.86 ounces loaded, 4.75 inches tall, 6.77 inches long and 1.27 inches wide.
Any other questions?
"Everybody's got a plan, 'til they get hit".
Mike Tyson
While I own both a Springer 1911 and an XD .45 , I have varied tastes
So pardon me but you FORGOT to include SIGS !!
-SIG , it's What's for Dinner-
know your rights!
"If I walk in the woods, I feel much more comfortable carrying a gun. What if you meet a bear in the woods that's going to attack you? You shoot it."
{Bernhard Goetz}
"If you carry a gun, people will call you paranoid. That's ridiculous... If I have a gun, what in the hell do I have to be paranoid for?" [Clint Smith - Thunder Ranch]
The 1911 platform is the most time tested and reliable. It is simple to customize and work on. Parts are plentiful and easy to come by. Even the most unreliable 1911 can be made into a rapid firing tack driver with a few simple tools, modifications and ocassionally some parts. Anyone can learn to strip a 1911 down to the bare frame and reassemble it. It's easy to clean and maintain.
"First gallant South Carolina nobly made the stand."
Edge of Darkness
Glock 30. Why? Because you can carry it concealed in the stock configuration of 10+1 and you can carry 13 round glock 21 mags as backups. Also magpul makes an extension for 30 round mags out of G21 mags and scherer makes 25 round mags. It gives you more versatility.
Monsters are real and so are ghosts. They live inside of us, and sometimes they win.
~ Stephen King
The new tactical Beretta PX4 Storm Special Duty in .45 with its stainless tactical barrel and high cap magazine would make an outstanding home defense gun. The PX4 Storm has outstanding DA/SA trigger pulls on it. Better than what my HK USP has.
Another option is the huge FN 45 pistol, with its 14 + 1 round capacity:
The 3 guns I carry the most are all .45's. On duty I carry a Springfield full size Loaded in stainless(better weather resistance in open carry). Off duty it is either a identical Springer to my duty gun(except in parkerized finish-less "flash" if accidentally exposed) or a G36(no problems ever out of it, accuracy best out of box of anything I've owned). Thing is, find one you like and works FOR YOU, not someone else's ideal carry gun, YOURS.
Then, buy lots of ammo and practice, practice, practice! Oh, and one more thing, CARRY IT! All the practice, all the research to find the right one, all goes down the drain if you don't have it when you need it to protect yourself or your family.....

Power generation company
NRG Energy, Inc.
) reported a pro forma loss of 48 cents per share for
fourth-quarter 2011, narrower than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of
a loss of 70 cents per share.
The company also reported GAAP loss of 48 cents per share in the
fourth-quarter 2011 versus a loss of 7 cents per share in the
prior-year quarter.
NRG Energy's fiscal 2011 pro forma earnings of $1.63 per share
surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.48 per share.
In the year 2011, the company reported GAAP earnings of 78 cents
per share versus earnings of $1.84 per share in 2010. The
difference between the GAAP and pro forma earnings was due to
impairment charges related to the company's NINA nuclear investment
and emission allowances, reversal tax liabilities and early debt
Total Revenue
NRG Energy's total operating revenue of $2,132.0 million in the
fourth quarter increased 17.4% from $1,816.0 million in the
year-ago quarter. The year-over-year increase was driven by strong
performance from several segments including Reliant, West and
Thermal. The quarterly revenue fell short of the Zacks Consensus
Estimate of $3,911.0 million.
In fiscal 2011, the company reported total operating revenue of
$9,079.0 million versus $8,849.0 million in 2010. It reflected
higher revenue from South Central, Thermal and Corporate segments;
partially offset by a decline in sales in Reliant, Texas, Northeast
and International verticals. The fiscal 2011 revenue missed
the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $10,036.0 million.
Operational Update
NRG Energy's fourth quarter 2011 total operating expenses
increased 27.6% from the prior-year quarter due to higher cost of
operations, higher depreciation and amortization expenses, and
selling, general and administrative expenses; partially offset by
lower development expenses.
In fourth quarter 2011, NRG Energy's interest expenses decreased
to $161.0 million from $163.0 million in the year-ago quarter.
Financial Update
Cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2011, were $1,105.0
million. Long-term debt and capital leases was $9,745 million as of
the same date.
The cash from operating activities as of December 31, 2011 was
$1,166.0 million versus $1,623.0 million in the prior-year
Guidance for 2012
NRG Energy updated its guidance taking into consideration its
fourth quarter 2011 results.
The company maintained the 2012 adjusted EBITDA expectation in
the range of $1,825.0 million - $2,000.0 million, considering
strong retail platform and strategically managed wholesale costs.
In 2012, free cash flow, before the growth investment, is
expected to be in the range of $800.0 million - $1,000.0
NRG Energy also expects to pay a quarterly dividend of 36 cents
per share, with the first payment likely to be made during third
quarter 2012.
Peer Comparison
NRG Energy's closest peer,
The AES Corporation
), posted adjusted earnings of 23 cents per share in fourth quarter
of 2011, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 20 cents.
However, the figure fell short of the year-ago quarter earnings of
25 cents per share.
In the fourth quarter 2011, its consolidated revenue of $4,269
million beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $4,118.0 million and
year-ago quarterly revenue of $4,230.0 million.
Our View
The company has maintained a consistent healthy cash balance and
is using the same to increase shareholder value through share
repurchases. In this year, NRG repurchased 20 million shares
amounting to $430.0 million.
During the quarter, NRG Energy entered into a few agreements to
acquire certain power generation assets and companies for expanding
its power generation portfolio. We appreciate the move as the
acquired assets were mainly non-pollutant solar power generation
units and solar power distribution companies.
NRG Energy currently retains a Zacks #3 Rank, which translates
into a short-term Hold rating.
Based in Princeton, New Jersey, NRG Energy Inc. operates as a
wholesale power generation company. It is also involved in the fuel
and energy trade and offers related products and services in the
United States and internationally.

GENERIC NAME: galantamine
BRAND NAME: Razadyne, Razadyne ER
DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Galantamine is an oral medication used to treat patients with Alzheimer's disease. Galantamine is in a class of drugs called cholinesterase inhibitors that also includes tacrine (Cognex), donezepil (Aricept), and rivastigmine (Exelon). Cholinesterase inhibitors inhibit (block) the action of acetylcholinesterase, the enzyme responsible for the destruction of acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is one of several neurotransmitters in the brain, chemicals that nerve cells use to communicate with one another. Reduced levels of acetylcholine in the brain are believed to be responsible for some of the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. By blocking the enzyme that destroys acetylcholine, galantamine increases the concentration of acetylcholine in the brain, and this increase is believed to be responsible for the improvement in thinking. Galantamine was approved by the FDA in 2001. (The brand name of galantamine was changed in 2005 from Reminyl to Razadyne.)

Otago completed the highest successful run chase in their history to pull off a remarkable win over Canterbury in the Plunket Shield yesterday.
Competition leaders Canterbury would have been confident of adding another win after setting Otago 379 in Dunedin, but the home side reached their target for the loss of only three wickets.
After resuming on 245-3 and still 134 runs in arrears, Neil Broom and Sam Wells built on the base provided on day three by Hamish Rutherford (96) and Michael Bracewell (65).
Brooms and Wells brought up their 100-run partnership in the first session of the final day as Otago pulled within 38 runs of their target, before rain at University Oval washed away the entire middle session and threatened to deny the hosts a historic victory.
Fortunately for Otago, the skies cleared enough to allow play to resume late in the afternoon, with Wells bringing up his third first-class century to finish unbeaten on 100 and Broom reaching 89 not out.
In the day's other match, Auckland and Wellington played out a dour draw at the Basin Reserve, with persistent rain seeing the hosts decide to bat for much of the day.
When Wellington's innings finally came to a close on 298-9, Auckland were set an improbable target of 299 in 45 overs, with the match called off shortly into the chase.
Auckland remain in fifth place with the result, ahead of only Northern Districts, while Canterbury still head the pack after six of 10 rounds.

NFL expert picks for Week 1 are in. The ESPN NFL picks for Week 1 were updated Thursday (Sept. 4) and predictions from most of the analysts have been tabulated. According to the update, there are nine games where they are in unanimous agreement on a game outcome. That includes the Seattle Seahawks vs. Green Bay Packers on Thursday night. That serves as the season opener and will take place at CenturyLink Field.
Some of the other noteworthy games include New Orleans vs. Atlanta on Sunday (Sept. 7), the San Francisco 49ers vs. Dallas Cowboys, and the Indianapolis Colts vs. Denver Broncos on Sunday night. That night game will receive national coverage and begins at 5:30 p.m. PT. Then there are the two Monday night games (Sept. 8), beginning with New York Giants vs. Detroit Lions and finishing with San Diego Chargers vs. Arizona Cardinals.
In the Week 1 NFL predictions, the ESPN experts are completely split on just one game. That 4-4 tie from the eight voters is the Carolina Panthers vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Panthers fans won't be pleased that the No. 2 seed from last year's NFC Playoffs isn't even projected to win the first game of this season by most analysts. The other close call (5-3) is the Minnesota Vikings vs. St. Louis Rams, where the Vikings are barely favored.
Some of the analysts from the network haven't submitted their picks yet, presumably waiting till the last moment to hedge their best. That includes Adam Schefter and Chris Carter, which could provide clarity to the Panthers vs. Buccaneers game later on opening day. One pick to also pay close attention to is the prediction from Mike Ditka that the Jacksonville Jaguars will beat the Philadelphia Eagles on the road to open the season.
ESPN NFL Expert Picks Week 1:
*Seattle Seahawks beat Green Bay Packers (Thurs. 8:30 p.m. ET)
*New Orleans Saints beat Atlanta Falcons (Sun. 1 p.m. ET)
*Minnesota Vikings beat St. Louis Rams
*Pittsburgh Steelers beat Cleveland Browns
*Philadelphia Eagles beat Jacksonville Jaguars
*New York Jets beat Oakland Raiders
*Cincinnati Bengals beat Baltimore Ravens

Minimalist Kitchen Design
MINIMALIST KITCHEN DESIGN – When people hear or read about minimalist design it often conjures up imagines of rooms that are stark white and with almost no furnishings. This vision then in turn leads to the impression that a minimal design has to be clinical or even soulless for it to be effective. I can tell you that there could be nothing further from the truth and in fact minimalist design comes in a plethora of concepts, from the sharp contrasts of black and white, right through to all the colors of the rainbow.
For people who do prefer the minimal approach to living you will often find they simply like things to be organized without having to wade through clutter. For me the minimalist style of living is far more functional and the minimalist approach is one way to create space that is light, airy and comfortable to live in.
Here I've decided to look at the Minimalist Kitchen Design and below are a number of photographs where designers have carefully incorporated everything you would need in the kitchen while retaining the look and feel of a clean, open plan and uncluttered functional area of the home.
While the 'Minimalist' look may not be your thing in principle there are, like most things in life, variations of a theme and not all minimalist designs have to be simply black and white. The fine examples above show a contrast of how kitchen designers can produce a minimalist kitchen while still retaining a look of warmth that is inviting to use.
Hope you enjoyed my small selection of Minimalist Kitchen Designs.

What on earth are you supposed to do with all that floor space? Merely swab it down? In thinking through my own reluctance about a minimalist kitchen, it boils down to too much unproductive, wasted space. This pokes through particularly in these kitchens. A kitchen is a work space where time and distance mean two things: accumulated delay of the work, and accumulated fatigue from having to do so much foot travel. In a kitchen you can't even sit down and enjoy the space aesthetically, and this is the only reason to have it, if, by chance, money for heating and cooling is no object.
Hi Joseph
I have to say that I love to see space in a home. I'm one of those people who find small space and clutter very uncomfortable and many others, like myself, prefer the Minimalist Style due to this fact.
All modern kitchens are designed with the 'Work Triangle' consideration in order to minimize the amount of travelling needed when working in the kitchen. The examples above are 'Showroom' photos and they mostly tend to err on the large side, where in fact very few homes provide this amount of space.
Thanks for the comment, you certainly provided some excellent observations.

Hi Graham,
Are these kitchens really in peoples' homes or are they ideas? Most of them were too stark or officy-looking, but I did really like the deep burgandy kitchen for its color and design and the peachy-white kitchen because it just felt good when I looked at it. I laughed when I saw the futuristic kitchen, seems waaaay out there to me, however I found the black and white sweeping curve kitchen appealing even though it also has a "business" attitude about it. Very clever ideas and in the right home they would be stunning!
Thanks for giving my mind a stretch, Dee
Hi Dee
No, these are showroom examples, which is why the spaces look enormous. Personally I'd be happy with quite a few of these as I love to see open spaces.
I like most of designs and I thought the 'Futuristic' was pretty cool – like most things it'll move more towards reality as technology moves at a rapid pace.
You hit the nails on the head when you said "Clever ideas" as this is the whole point of these types of articles… just to give people an idea on styles and concepts.
Thanks Dee

Disease Proof
American Kids, Drugged Up!
We pop A LOT of pills! Especially antibiotics, Americans LOVE to overuse antibiotics. And flu shots too! Every flu season MILLIONS of people rush to free clinics and doctor's offices. Not realizing that a healthy body can easily beat the flu.
That's why I WASN'T surprised to read that a new study in The Journal Child and Adolescent Psychiatry claims American children are prescribed more antidepressants and stimulant medications than children in Europe—via Julie's Health Club.
According to Dr. Fuhrman, psychiatric disorders—like depression—can be successfully treated with superior nutrition and light therapy. So, there are options BEFORE the pill.

RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Bannan has signed for Bolton Wanderers on loan until the end of the season, according to the official club website.
Bannan's move to Bolton saw Lee Chung-Yong move the other way and gives him the chance to benefit from some much needed first team football. The Scottish international made 10 appearance in all competitions so far this season with neither a goal or an assist.
Barry Bannan: Past News Updates ( ▲ View most recent update )
January 22, 2015
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Bannan has made just two starts for Crystal Palace this season.
Bannan started new manager Alan Pardew's first league game in charge against Tottenham Hotspur, but was withdrawn at half-time, and could yet enjoy more of a role under the new boss. In all he has appeared seven times and contributed no fantasy points.
August 29, 2014
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Bannan is expected to be back on the bench for Saturday�s trip to Newcastle United.
Bannan made his first start of the season in last weekend�s 3-1 defeat at home to West Ham United as a replacement at right wing for the suspended Jason Puncheon, who has now served his one game ban. When Bannan plays, fantasy players should take note as he handles corners for Crystal Palace and is usually good for an absolute maximum of five assists per season.
August 23, 2014
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Bannan started Crystal Palace's defeat at home to West Ham United on Saturday.
Bannan replaced Jason Puncheon in caretaker manager Keith Millen's starting line-up before coming off in the 70th minute. The Scot is another that could get increased game time when a new manager is appointed. Bannan is an attacking threat, takes set pieces and is a decent low-end fantasy option if picked.
January 20, 2014
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Bannan has not seen any playing time in each of Crystal Palace's last three Premier League matches, and is disappointed with his lack of playing time, the Croydon Advertiser reports.
Bannan has a goal and an assist in 13 Premier League appearances this season for Crystal Palace. He has also seen good amounts of playing time during FA Cup matches. When on the pitch, he has shown an ability to contribute to the Eagles' attack, but does not get enough playing time to warrant much fantasy consideration.
December 3, 2013
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Bannan sent in a cross in the 42nd minute Tuesday that teammate Marouane Chamakh was able to head in to the back of the net. It wound up being the only goal of the match as Crystal Palace went on to defeat West Ham United 1-0.
Bannan has a goal and an assist in Crystal Palace's last three matches as he begins to assert himself more in the Eagles' attack.
November 23, 2013
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Bannan put home the match's only goal in the 81st minute as Crystal Palace defeated Hull City 1-0 on Saturday.
The goal was Bannan's first in Premier League play since the 2011-12 season. Having taken only five shots so far this season, Bannan does not provide enough regular output to have much fantasy value.
September 2, 2013
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Bannan has signed a three-year deal with Crystal Palace after transferring from Aston Villa, the Daily Mail reports.
Bannan played for Palace manager Ian Holloway when he spent a loan spell at Blackpool in 2010.

CHICAGO -- With some help from Jaromir Jagr, Boston Bruins forward Chris Kelly instantly recalled Keith Primeau's classic fifth-overtime winner in 2000 when he was asked on Thursday to remember watching a game that resembled the one Kelly played in Wednesday night at United Center.
"Jags actually played in it and he referred to it because he scored," Kelly said. "Jags said he played over 60 minutes that game. I remember watching that and seeing that goal, it was like a first-period goal, the shot that he took. It didn't seem like he was tired."
But Kelly seemed stunned to learn about what happened after Primeau's goal gave the Philadelphia Flyers a 2-1 victory in Game 4 of the 2000 Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Pittsburgh Penguins: After two days off, the Flyers beat the Penguins 6-3 in Game 5, then won 2-1 in Game 6 to capture the series after losing the first two games.
The Bruins now have to avoid falling into a trap similar to the one that snared the Penguins -- one that more often than not has affected teams that lose a marathon overtime game, as Boston did Wednesday when Andrew Shaw scored 12:08 into the third OT to give the Chicago Blackhawks a 4-3 win in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final.
Game 2 of the best-of-7 series is Saturday at United Center (8 p.m. ET; NBCSN, CBC, RDS).
The Bruins profess that that losing the fifth-longest game in Stanley Cup Final history is no worse than any other defeat.
"A loss is a loss," Kelly said. "If you lose 6-0 or you lose in triple overtime, at the end of the day it's still a loss."
But history suggests that losing a marathon in the Stanley Cup Playoffs can have a lasting effect.
Since 1990, there have been 27 games that have gone past two overtime periods. Seven were series-deciding games; of the other 20, the team that won the marathon game went on to win the series 13 times -- and on seven occasions, that team did not lose again in the series.
Jagr, who was not made available to the media on Thursday, was also part of a series in 1996, when Petr Nedved scored in quadruple-OT to give the Penguins a win in Game 4 against the Washington Capitals. Pittsburgh went on to win Games 5 and 6 to advance to the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
Boston coach Claude Julien isn't worried.
"I don't think much will rattle our team," he said. "We're a pretty resilient group of guys."
Julien cited experience in dealing with adversity, mentioning 2011, when the Bruins lost Games 1 and 2 to the Montreal Canadiens in the conference quarterfinals and again to the Vancouver Canucks in the Stanley Cup Final only to win each round in seven games. Boston also can look back to Game 7 against the Toronto Maple Leafs last month, when they came back from a 4-1 deficit in the third period to win in overtime.
"We've learned, especially this year in the playoffs, that it's never over until you get that fourth win," Bruins center Patrice Bergeron said. "That fourth game is always the toughest to get so now we're still far away and we're not even worried about it. It's still one game. It's about being ready for Game 2. It's a best-of-7 and that's it. You can't get too high or too low in the playoffs, and this is a perfect example."
It's easier for the Bruins to have that type of attitude because it was Game 1. The feeling might be different if, for example, Boston had lost Game 4 in triple overtime to fall behind 3-1 in the series.
"You expect experience to come in and maturity to come in and say, 'You know, it's 1-0,'" Bruins defenseman Andrew Ference said. "You get on with it, turn the page. Whether it's a goal, whether it's a game or whether it's a play, tough luck. That's the game. What are you going to do?
"Everybody has played enough hockey on this team and for the guys that haven't, they're surrounded by guys that can let them know that as well."
To turn the page, the Bruins decided to use Thursday as a rehydrate and recover day.
"Cold tub is one of those things, massage is another, but hydration is probably the best -- and rest," Bergeron said. "We're trying to do that right now. The trainers are keeping an eye on us and making sure we're doing that."
Like the Blackhawks, the Bruins did not practice Thursday. They will save that for Friday, when Julien hopes to get his players on the ice to get their blood flowing again so they can fully embrace the idea of Game 2 and put the result of Game 1 behind them.
Many teams that have been in Boston's current predicament have tried and failed to do the same. The Bruins think they can be different.
"Wasting our time thinking about what could have, what should have [been] is a lot of wasted energy," Julien said. "Our team turns a corner and we start focusing on the next game. What's done is done. They could say the same thing on a few opportunities they had, but they got the win, so it may be a little easier for them to move on. I don't think it's going to be an issue with our hockey club. It never has been."

The shady lake margin produces aquatic plants such as lizardtail and buttonbush that provide nectar for a number of butterfly species. Birds are numerous at the lake edge and include prothonotary warbler and nesting bald eagle. Anhingas occur here regularly in summer, and, in fall, the site attracts good numbers of migrating shorebirds. The boggy section along the entrance road is excellent for dragonflies. Although access conditions will change when the area becomes partially converted into a city park, for now, visitors should take particular care to avoid crossing fairways and greens.
From Munden Point Park, return to Princess Anne Road and turn left. Proceed about 10 miles and turn left onto Indian River Road. Continue 7.6 miles and turn left onto Elbow Road.

Does Soy Really Lower Sperm Count?
The study appears in the journal of Human Reproduction. Here's the abstract via PubMed:
BACKGROUND: High isoflavone intake has been related to decreased fertility in animal studies, but data in humans are scarce. Thus, we examined the association of soy foods and isoflavones intake with semen quality parameters.Relax, don't freak out just yet. "It's way too early to say stop eating soy foods. It's not time to worry about whether you're eating too much soy. There's not enough information to conclusively say that," lead researcher Dr. Jorge Chavarro, M.D., a research fellow at the Harvard School of Public Health, told Steven Reinberg of HealthDay News.
METHODS: The intake of 15 soy-based foods in the previous 3 months was assessed for 99 male partners of subfertile couples who presented for semen analyses to the Massachusetts General Hospital Fertility Center. Linear and quantile regression were used to determine the association of soy foods and isoflavones intake with semen quality parameters while adjusting for personal characteristics.
RESULTS: There was an inverse association between soy food intake and sperm concentration that remained significant after accounting for age, abstinence time, body mass index, caffeine and alcohol intake and smoking. In the multivariate-adjusted analyses, men in the highest category of soy food intake had 41 million sperm/ml less than men who did not consume soy foods (95% confidence interval = -74, -8; P, trend = 0.02). Results for individual soy isoflavones were similar to the results for soy foods and were strongest for glycitein, but did not reach statistical significance. The inverse relation between soy food intake and sperm concentration was more pronounced in the high end of the distribution (90th and 75th percentile) and among overweight or obese men. Soy food and soy isoflavone intake were unrelated to sperm motility, sperm morphology or ejaculate volume.
CONCLUSIONS: These data suggest that higher intake of soy foods and soy isoflavones is associated with lower sperm concentration.
And just to be sure, I asked Dr. Fuhrman for his thoughts on this study. Here's what he had to say:
This study showed that high levels of processed soy foods, not edamame or unprocessed soy beans, may lower sperm counts in obese men.When most people think soy, they think soy ice cream or soy "meat" products. They forget about edamame beans. Edamame beans are nutritional rock stars! From Wikipedia, check this out:
The higher intake of soy foods, lowered sperm counts, but the counts were still in the normal range. Obesity increases the body's estrogen production, and the extra pro-estrogenic effects of soy apparently was enough to reduce sperm levels, in these overweight men whose estrogen levels were already somewhat elevated due to their heightened body weight.
Fiber-rich carbohydrates such as edamame help prevent mood fluctuations by keeping blood-sugar levels steady. Edamame also contains protein, which further helps stabilize blood sugar, and omega-3 fatty acids.And besides, we already know that processed soy foods are NOT something you want to base your diet around. Dr. Fuhrman explains:
Edamame beans contain higher levels of abscissic acid, sucrose, protein than other types of soybean. They also contain a high source of vitamin A, vitamin B and calcium.
Studies have shown soy's beneficial effects on cholesterol and other cardiovascular risk factors. However, there is no reason not to expect the same results from beans of any type--it's merely that more studies have been done on soy than on any other beans. There are numerous studies indicating that soybeans are rich in various anti-cancer compounds such as isoflavones. Most beans are rich in these beneficial anti-cancer compounds, and many different flavonoids with anti-cancer effects are found in beans of various color. I always recommended the consumption of a broad variety of phytochemical-rich foods to maximize one's health. Beans are no exception--try to eat different types of beans, not just soy.So I think the real point to take away from this study is processed soy foods are not health-promoting and being overweight or obese lowers male fertility. For more on that, read: Obese men have less semen, more sperm abnormalities, and should lose weight before trying for a baby—via EurekAlert!
You should be aware that soy nuts, soymilk, and other processed soy products do not retain many of the beneficial compounds and omega-3 fats that are in the natural bean. The more the food is processed, the more the beneficial compounds are destroyed. Remember, though, tofu and frozen or canned soybeans are a good source of omega-3 fat and calcium.
Most of the processed soy products can be tasty additions to a plant-based diet, but they are generally high in salt and are not nutrient-dense foods, so use them sparingly. In conclusion, the soybean is a superior food, containing the difficult-to-find omega-3 fats. Beans in general are superior foods that fight against cancer and heart disease, which is why you will benefit from using a variety of beans in your diet.

Near the end of last January, the French DIAPASON label issued an "anthology" CD of the music of George Gershwin as part of their "indispensables" (indispensable) series. While I am not sure I would call the recordings on this album "indispensable," the release certainly covers some of the earliest interpreters of Gershwin's music (aside from Gershwin himself, who was not particularly interested in recording). This includes what the author of the Wikipedia page for Puerto Rican pianist Jesús Maria Sanromá calls "the first complete recording" of "Rhapsody in Blue," made in July of 1935 with Sanromá performing with Arthur Fielder conducting the Boston Pops. There is also a recording as Earl Wild as soloist in Gershwin's only piano concerto, also with Fiedler and the Boston Pops on a 1961 recording. The other orchestra on the album is the Hollywood Bowl Symphony Orchestra, conducted by both Felix Slatkin (a 1956 recording of "An American in Paris") and Alfred Newman (a 1961 recording of the "Second Rhapsody" with Leonard Pennario as pianist).
This makes for a rather impressive time capsule of relatively early Gershwin performances, but I am not sure how valuable this time capsule will be. Most importantly, I want to take issue with that adjective "complete" applied to the "Rhapsody in Blue" recording. If we take the 1924 publication of the score (with Ferde Grofé's orchestration) as the standard, then there are two major cuts in the recorded performance, only one of which has anything to do with any of the four optional cuts indicated in the score. The cut that does align with the score is a piano solo and may thus have been Sanromá's idea. The other could have come from either Fielder or a recording engineer concerned with finding the right places to change a 78 RPM record.
These days it is not hard to find an actually complete recording (including one conducted by Sergiu Celibidache). As a result, I would say that the greatest interest in the Sanromá-Fiedler recording is that it was made before Gershwin's death in 1937. However, I have no idea whether or not Gershwin ever listened to the recording, let alone gave it his blessing. He may have just been content that, having conquered the concert hall, "Rhapsody in Blue" had made its mark on the recording industry.
On the other hand I am pretty certain that Wild concerto performance was recorded without cuts. (This was much less of an issue in 1961.) I also have to confess that I have long been a great admirer of Wild, having enjoyed many of his concert performances as well as his recordings. (Wild composed a set of études, each based on one of Gershwin's songs, most likely inspired by what Franz Liszt had done to compositions by Niccolò Paganini.) I would even go so far as to say that I learned to listen to Gershwin by listening to Wild; and there is much to be gained from listening this his account of the concerto.
The same can be said for Slatkin's approach to "An American in Paris." One can definitely appreciate the "American rhetoric" of his interpretation and the ways in which it bumps into unexpected encounters on foreign soil. Also, while one can appreciate why the "Second Rhapsody" never received as much attention as the first, Pennario gives an account that makes it worth the listen; and Newman cannot be more supportive as a conductor.
If listening to this recording is like going into a time machine, then, taken as a whole, the trip is very much taking.
