In the US, there is a one in two chance of dying from heart disease. Most people admitted to hospitals for heart attacks have "normal" cholesterol levels though; this suggests the current recommendations are not stringent enough (see here, here, here, here, here). A plant-based diet appears to reduce heart disease risk (see also here) and may improve lung function in COPD patients. Eating just one handful of nuts a day, for example, may cut the risk of dying from heart disease in half. The Pritikin, Ornish, and Essylstein low-fat plant-based dietary programs have been found to even reverse heart disease (see also here, here, here, here, here, here). Also thought to possibly extend one's lifespan: Vitamin D supplements (see also here, here, here, here, here), seven hours of sleep per night, again, eating a plant-based diet (see also here), severe caloric restriction, a single serving of berries every day, and coffee. Thought to shorten one's lifespan: Vitamin E supplements (see also here), eating just one egg a day (see also here), meat intake (see also here, here, here), iron pills, early puberty, untreated celiac disease, kombucha tea, prescription drugs (which kill an estimated 106,000 people in the US each year), and a meat-based low carb diet. And the following appear to have no effect on lifespan: Vitamin C pills, multivitamins, and moderate alcohol consumption in healthy people. In terms of cancer mortality, lung cancer is the number one cancer killer of women in the US, but breast cancer the most common. Women with breast cancer who eat soy may cut their risk of dying and recurrence. Broccoli has been shown to improve survival rates among bladder cancer patients and lignans from flax seeds improve survival rates among breast cancer patients. Saturated fat and trans fat intake have been shown to lower breast cancer survival rates. Dietary fat of animal origin has been associated with increased pancreatic cancer risk. When Japanese men die, many have tiny prostate tumors; but they often die with their cancer, not from their cancer, which is not the case in the United States. Also, various types of cancer occurrence and mortality rates are higher in poultry workers, when compared to the general population. One possible explanation for this is that people with high exposure to poultry oncogenic viruses may have increased risk for dying from several cancers and neurological diseases. The top killers in the US now include Alzheimer's disease. Saffron as well as apples and ginger may slow down the progression of Alzheimer's. Other dangers to watch out for: Generally the first and only symptom of an abdominal aortic aneurysm is a painful death; eating meat just a few times a month increases the risk (see here, here). Death rates from liver failure have been found to be even more closely related to pork consumption than to alcohol consumption. Sudden infant death syndrome is the leading cause of death for healthy infants after one month of age and has been associated with maternal cow's milk consumption. Doctors prescribe diabetes drugs regularly even though they may increase the risk of death; cinnamon has also been found to help with blood sugar, but without such side-effects. Triphala has been found to preferentially wipe out breast and pancreatic cancer cells; unfortunately, it has been found to be contaminated with lead.

SAN DIEGO -- The Raiders finished the season strong on defense, giving up fewer than 5 yards per play Sunday for the third straight game in a 24-21 loss to the San Diego Chargers at Qualcomm Stadium.
San Diego scored on a 99-yard kickoff return by Mike Spurlock, a short-field 47-yard drive in part because of a poor Shane Lechler punt and on an 81-yard drive in the second quarter that ultimately was their undoing.
The Chargers were just 2 for 11 on third-down conversions, with the Raiders shutting off the run (31 carries, 70 yards), sacking quarterback Philip Rivers twice and pressuring him throughout the game.
"I thought they got off the blocks and played with the right kind of attitude,'' coach Dennis Allen said. "That momentum that we've gained defensively, we have to carry that forward."
Defensive end Lamarr Houston, a likely cornerstone of the Raiders defense next season, had 13 tackles, 1.5 sacks and two tackles for losses.
"I think guys are just really keying in on their jobs and taking the next step to prepare for our team," Houston said. "I think we've been doing a good job, things haven't turned out the way we wanted them to, but I can see us getting better.''
Free safety Matt Giordano, who nearly stopped the Chargers' 81-yard scoring drive but failed to hold a leaping attempt at an interception, said it was a matter of defenders having faith in the system and each other.
"It wasn't like they were giving us sugar pills to make us run faster or play better,'' Giordano said. "I think the issue of trust was there, the issue of just doing your job was there, not trying to overcompensate for making bigger plays.''
The Raiders, ranked second in rushing in 2010 and seventh last season, came into the game ranked 30th and gained just 115 yards -- 49 of which came from quarterback Terrelle Pryor on nine carries.
"I don't want to speak on it anymore,'' McFadden said of his production. "It is what it is. The season is over now. I am just looking forward to next year.''
With McFadden entering the last year of his contract, the Raiders need to determine if they want to move away from their commitment to the zone blocking scheme to fit his skills or look to trade him, perhaps for additional draft picks.
"We like Lucas Nix. He's a guy we've been watching as the year's gone on,'' Allen said. "It was one of those opportunities in the last game and we wanted to see him to get an evaluation. Without looking at the tape, I thought both of them did fairly well.''
Aside from the Jets and Giants, the Raiders face Houston, Indianapolis and Dallas as well as AFC West rivals Denver, Kansas City and San Diego.
At home, other than the Broncos, Chiefs and Chargers, the Raiders will host Jacksonville, Tennessee, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and Washington.
The Raiders are without their second-round pick from the Carson Palmer trade, and a fifth-round pick in the deal to acquire Aaron Curry last season.

About Us > Newsroom > Is That Sleepiness During Pregnancy Normal or a Sign of Sleep Apnea?
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) occurs when a person's airway collapses repeatedly during sleep. This repeated stoppage of airflow causes low blood-oxygen levels and strain on the heart. The person also experiences a brief interruption of sleep when the brain wakes up to start breathing again.
Untreated, OSA causes high blood pressure, heart disease, heart attacks, strokes, irregular heart rhythms, diabetes and mental decline. People with untreated sleep apnea are also at higher risk of having a motor vehicle or workplace accident caused from sleep deprivation.
"Unfortunately, many pregnant women don't get tested for sleep apnea because the associated symptoms, like snoring and sleepiness, are also common in a normal pregnancy," said Ann Cartwright, MPAS, PS-C, sleep specialist at National Jewish Health. "Pregnant women who were overweight before their pregnancy or who have developed high blood pressure or diabetes during their pregnancy should consider getting evaluated for sleep apnea."
If you are pregnant and have any of the following symptoms, talk to your doctor about getting tested for sleep apnea:
"After being diagnosed with sleep apnea and using CPAP nightly I have noticed a considerable difference in my energy level during the day," said Kelly Goelz. "I just wish I would have known about pregnant sleep apnea before my second pregnancy."

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is required for domestic students to apply for institutional grant aid and federal financial assistance. Follow the steps below to apply for financial aid at St. John's College. It is important to observe the deadlines. See the financial aid timeline for guidance and deadlines for applying to the college and applying for financial aid.
According to federal guidelines, all students who wish to receive Title IV aid must now have a high school diploma, a recognized equivalent (e.g.,GED), or meet the home school requirements. Please contact the Financial Aid office if you have questions about your eligibility.
Note that to be considered for merit aid, no separate application is necessary.
Step 1 – Complete FAFSA
File a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) between January 1 and February 15. The federal code for Annapolis is 002092 and Santa Fe is 002093. You should file the FAFSA electronically at www.fafsa.ed.gov. If this is your first time completing a FAFSA, you will need to apply for a FSA ID for both the student and parent at fsaid.ed.gov. The pin number will serve as your electronic signature. Do not wait until you have completed your 2015 tax returns to submit the FAFSA; use your best estimates and update the information after your taxes are completed. To avoid processing delays be sure both the student and parent sign the application using the assigned pin number.
Step 2 – Give supporting documentation to the Financial Aid Office
Once the Financial Aid Office has received your FAFSA, we will notify you of any supporting documentation we need. Examples of the additional information we may need are copies of parents' and student's 2015 federal income tax transcript (transcript must be requested from the IRS), W-2 forms, partnership and corporate returns when applicable. To send these documents, you can e-mail, fax, or send by mail to the Financial Aid Office.
Step 3 – Maryland State Grants
Maryland Residents: File the FAFSA and state application before March 1 to be considered for programs offered by the Maryland Higher Education Commission. Residents from the states of NM, PA, RI and VT should file the FAFSA by March 1st in order to be considered for a state sponsored grant.
Policy Regarding the Integrity of Information: If the Financial Aid Committee has strong reason to believe that a family has intentionally misrepresented its circumstances in order to qualify for financial aid, the student may be permanently barred from receiving institutional funding.
Questions? Contact the Financial Aid office.

Don't skewer actor Jared Leto for suggesting what the rest of America is silently thinking.
Is Jennifer Lawrence's back-to-back Oscar falls proof that she is Hollywood's clumsiest celebrity or best actress?
In a Thursday interview with Access Hollywood, Leto joked about Lawrence's penchant for stumbling at the Academy Awards.
"You know, I'm starting to wonder if this is a bit of an act," he joked.
In 2013, Lawrence tripped in her pink Dior Haute Couture gown as she tried to climb the stage steps to accept her Best Actress Oscar award. This year, she stumbled on the red carpet in a red Dior dress.
Does anyone else see a pattern here? Perhaps Lawrence should select a different designer for next year's Oscars.
Oscar host Ellen DeGeneres joked about Lawrence's infamous trips during her opening monologue. Then, when Lawrence took the stage later in the show, DeGeneres had Leto and his mother and brother laughing as the host pantomimed "Don't fall, don't fall."
"She (Lawrence) said, 'What are you laughing at?' Leto recalled. "But what she didn't know was that Ellen was on the side ... making, pantomiming (motions like), 'Don't fall, don't fall,' and my mom and my brother are all cracking up. I guess we don't have any manners. You can take them out of Louisiana, but you can't take Louisiana out of them, right?"

EDWARDS - "If you haven't seen these group of boys play yet, come to the game Thursday, cause this is a team that will be talked about for a long time," said Battle Mountain soccer coach David Cope.
That they will, coach Cope, cause on Tuesday night, the Battle Mountain Huskies won 6-1 against the Glenwood Demons in Edwards, coming off Brandon Osorio's two goals and one assist.
Last year, when the Huskies played the Demons at home, they tied, 1-1. The Huskies wanted this game badly.
Midway through the game, the Huskies were awarded a penalty kick after one of the Demons' players touched the ball with his hand. To come take the penalty kick was sophomore outside defender Osorio, who was looking for his first varsity goal of the season, which he got by burying the ball in the back of the net.
"I was nervous," said Osorio. "It was my first chance at getting a varsity goal, so I could feel the pressure."
Later in the first half, Osorio got a another chance at goal as he struck the ball from 30 yards out, burying it in the top part of the net. Following Osorio's goal, Gunnar Wilson, the other outside defender, was able to put the ball in the goal, coming off a Joe LyBarger assist.
Midway into the second half LyBarger hit the back of the net on a Broby Leeds assist. After LyBarger's goal, he's now tied with Fort Morgan's Esteban Millan, for the 4A scoring lead, according to The Denver Post.
In the closing minutes of the game, junior Alexis Robles was able to notch a goal, his first varsity goal and then Leeds hit the back of the net coming from Osorio.
"We have to continue to play for each other, rather than for ourselves," Cope said. "It seemed like in that first 20 minutes everyone was trying to get a goal, and we have to remember that our team is about passing the ball real well. When we pass the ball well, it opens up chances, so its important in these league games that we keep passing the ball. It's really exciting to see guys come off the bench and score goals."
Even though it was a loss for the Demons, coach Steve White still had some positive things about the game.
"We respect them, we really do believe that they are the best soccer team in the state of Colorado," said White. "We need to raise our game to this level against every opponent. So we knew that we needed to come in here and play a solid game. We always play to win. We knew they had the advantage over us, but we played them well and I'm happy with the way we played."
Midway through the second half Glenwood's Mats Rosen was able to beat the Battle Mountain goal keeper right after the LyBarger goal, sparking some energy in the Demons.
Both teams have their Homecoming games tonight as the Glenwood (2-7 overall and 1-5 in league) host Palisade and the Battle Mountain (10-0 and 8-0 league) hosts Steamboat Springs at 6.

The Oregon DOT (ODOT) replaced two bridges with only two weekend closures rather than rerouting traffic or causing delays for six months with single lanes. Motorists, stakeholders, and community members in nearby Elkton — population 150 — were happy with the process.
In 2003, the Oregon Legislature enacted the third Oregon Transportation Investment Act, or OTIA III, and charged ODOT with outsourcing the delivery of a 10-year, $1.3 billion program addressing 365 aging highway bridges. Oregonians have not seen an investment of this magnitude in highway and bridge construction since the state's interstate freeway system was built in the 1950s and '60s.
To implement the OTIA III State Bridge Delivery Program, we at ODOT made a monumental shift to overseeing program management. It is just one of the innovations on a program that is repairing and replacing hundreds of aging highway bridges across the state.
Through standard testing, ODOT identified bridges across the state that needed to be repaired or replaced to prevent future freight restrictions. Five of those bridges are on Oregon 38 near Elkton, between Interstate 5 and the Oregon coast. To maintain mobility in the region, ODOT decided to replace all five bridges. Because of the topography, we faced several challenges, particularly on two of them: the 80-year-old bridges on either side of Elk Creek Tunnel.
All five bridges traversed difficult terrain, with steep gorges and winding roads. The two bridges built close to the tunnel portals were within 38 feet and 180 feet on the east and west sides, respectively. Finally, the 1,000-foot-long tunnel sits in the middle of a vital freight corridor connecting several small communities, most significantly nearby Elkton.
While planning the project, our engineers also noted that single-lane closures at the curved tunnel would not only be inconvenient, causing several months of one-lane traffic at the bridge, but could be dangerous to workers and motorists due to the lack of visibility. After identifying these challenges, we decided to prioritize freight and traffic mobility plans when selecting the winning proposal.
The design-build contracting method has several benefits including that crews can begin construction before design is finished, allowing projects to be completed faster than the traditional approach. By using design-build, we were able to identify a project team that would provide an innovative solution to deal with these unique circumstances. We solicited bids and, rather than basing our decision primarily on the lowest price as we do with traditional contracting methods, we modified the selection criteria and based 60% of our decision on the contractor's qualifications and 40% on the pricing estimate.
After examining several alternatives, we chose Slayden Construction, which proposed using a type of rapid replacement and promised a substantial public involvement component. With this type of rapid replacement, crews build a new bridge beside the old one, which remains open during construction. After the structure is completed, the old bridge is moved out of the way using hydraulic jacks, and the new structure takes its place.
Oregon 38 is a vital freight route connecting the central valley with the Oregon coast, which has an annual average daily traffic volume ranging between 4,000 and 5,000. Extensive road closures on this two-lane highway would have required significant delays, including a potential 100-mile detour. Slayden's approach reduced the amount of time the bridge was closed from ODOT's allotted six months to only four days — significantly reducing the disruption to traffic and the nearby community.
Although the upfront cost of Slayden's proposal was higher by approximately $900,000 than that of other bidders, this solution prevented extreme disruptions to traffic flow in the area.
Because rapid replacement was a more expensive solution, ODOT applied for and received a $1 million Federal Highway Administration grant to help cover the additional costs. The Federal Highway Administration's Highways for LIFE program provides state agencies with additional federal funding on projects employing unique solutions to minimize mobility issues and maximize community involvement.
T.Y. Lin International, the design consultant, had to consider both the size of the bridge as well as how it would fit into the existing alignment and substructure.

The man sought in connection with the Granite Falls double homicide that transpired earlier this month was taken into custody on Tuesday, September 17 at approximately 3:00 p.m. at the Renville County Sheriff's Office in Olivia, according to a press release from the Minnesota Department of Public Safety (DPS).
"We are greatly relieved to hear of the news," a statement issued by the Kara Monson family reads. "We hope the family of Christopher Panitzke and the Granite Falls community share in our great feeling of relief over Andrew Dikken's capture."
A warrant was issued for Andrew Dikken, 28, of Granite Falls, formerly of Renville, for the shooting deaths of Kara Ann Monson, 26, of Granite Falls and Christopher Allen Panitzke, 28, Redwood Falls on September 11.
Authorities believe Dikken shot Monson and Panitzke in Monson's Granite Falls home during the early morning hours of September 2. Monson died the day of the shooting while Panitzke would pass six days later on September 8.
According to DPS, Dikken was brought to the Sheriff's Office by family members who had been cooperating with the investigation and related search over the past two weeks. He has since been transported to the Yellow Medicine County Jail in Granite Falls where he is being held pending arraignment in YMC District Court.
"We are prepared for the course of justice and hope justice will be served to Andrew Dikken for his senseless and unwarranted killing of Kara and Christopher," the Monson family statement also said. "His capture is one step toward closure, justice being carried out will be the final."
Last week a $1,000 reward was issued by Crime Stoppers of Minnesota for information leading to the arrest or apprehension of Dikken.
Authorities had said they believed him to be armed and dangerous.
The Granite Falls Police Department is continuing their investigation into the homicides. The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is assisting in this active and ongoing investigation.
Memorial funds
Two memorial funds have been established to preserve the memory of Kara Monson as well as benefit her daughter, Poppy.
All proceeds of the "Kara Monson Memorial Fund (at Granite Falls Bank)" will be directed by her immediate family. Donations can be made in person or checks can be sent to: Granite Falls Bank, "Kara Monson Memorial Fund", 702 Prentice St., Granite Falls, MN 56241. Phone: (320) 564-2111.
All proceeds of the "Kara Monson Memorial Fund (at Citizens Alliance Bank)" will go to Kara's daughter. The fund was established established in honor of Kara by the Yellow Medicine East Class of 1999 with Citizens Alliance Bank. Donations can be made in person or checks can be sent to: Citizens Alliance Bank, "Kara Monson Memorial Fund", 860 Hwy. 212, P.O. Box 68, Granite Falls, MN 56241. Phone: (320) 564-4522.

MARTINEZ -- Following a trial that polarized the city of Concord and its school district, a jury Thursday acquitted former elementary schoolteacher Joseph Martin of 21 counts of molestation, but deadlocked on 95 counts involving 11 other male students.
Martin's attorney called it the largest false allegation victory in nearly three decades and vindication for the 46-year-old Martinez resident.
The Contra Costa District Attorney's Office has not decided whether to retry Martin on the remaining counts, but the jury leaned solidly in favor of Martin's acquittal on those counts. For the charges involving 10 of the victims, the jury voted 9 not guilty to 3 guilty, while voting 11 not guilty to 1 guilty for the charges involving the 11th victim.
"Basically, it was like someone shooting 150 rounds at you and you look down and none of them hit you," said Martin's attorney Patrick Clancy of his client's reaction. "So yes, he was relieved."
Martin sat calmly as the clerk read the verdicts and about 10 supporters quietly sat in the audience, including his wife, Jennifer Martin, who testified on his behalf.
Clancy, who unsuccessfully attempted to lower Martin's bail to $100,000 from $10 million, said his client will remain in jail until a Sept. 8 hearing. Prosecutor Derek Butts said he was "disappointed" by the decision and would decide on whether to retry Martin on the deadlocked counts no earlier than the next hearing.
"It's way too early. It will take some discussion and further talks," he said. Martin was originally charged with 150 molestation counts involving 14 students. Butts dropped 34 counts shortly before closing arguments in the nine-week case. The allegations mostly involved Martin rubbing boys' bare chests with sexual intent, along with some allegations of brushing boys' groins.
Clancy had argued Martin was an affectionate teacher who touched students appropriately and helped them succeed through such reinforcement. He also said rumors from parents, students and teachers led to a "hysteria" that triggered false allegations against his client.
Butts had argued that Martin had a sexual affinity toward young boys.
Juror No. 9, who was one of the three voting for guilt on the remaining charges, said the decision-making process over the five days "wasn't hugely difficult."
"All we were looking for was reasonable doubt. That's what the judge told us. If we had two reasonable explanations for something, we had to go with the (one) that indicated not guilty," the man said, asking not to be named. "We stipulated that yeah, it might have happened. But we were able to find a reasonable alternative."
Late Wednesday, the jury told Judge Mary Ann O'Malley that they were hopelessly deadlocked, but she sent them back to try again. The foreman told O'Malley Thursday that there had been very little movement since then and they were stuck. O'Malley ruled a mistrial on the remaining 95 counts.
Clancy told a group of media members outside court that the jury was likely swayed by the lack of specialized training for the lead Concord detective -- a point he emphasized during the trial -- and that they believed Martin's touches were therapeutic and innocent, not inappropriate. But mostly, Clancy said it appeared the jury liked his client, who took the stand, and came to the conclusion he was a good teacher.
Even if Martin is fully exonerated, Clancy said he doubted his client would return to teaching.
"I seriously don't know if he'll return to Woodside. He has to think about how vulnerable he is to false accusations," Clancy said.
"If you're a man I would not be teaching elementary school. It's that bad," he continued. "I sometimes say, 'Which is more dangerous, working as a male elementary schoolteacher or a Navy SEAL?' And I'd say male elementary schoolteacher."
Prosecutor Butts said he worried that the fact Martin faced multiple life sentences may have influenced the jury.
"That was a concern of mine, that (the abuse) was not more egregious and they were boys," Butts said. "I was concerned a lot of good things were brought up about Martin that might outweigh that. That's not how it's supposed to go, but it was a concern.
"It's hard to think that 11, 12, 13 kids come in and say he put his hands down their chests and they wouldn't be believed," the prosecutor said.
Outside the courthouse, Martin's wife, wearing her husband's wedding ring on a gold necklace, spoke publicly for the first time.
"It's been a very long journey." she said, her voice breaking. She said she's prepared to keep fighting if prosecutors decide to retry her husband of six years.
"We will keep fighting until his name is cleared," she said.
She shared the difficulties she's endured as a single mother with the couple's two young daughters during Martin's incarceration and how every night their 3-year-old daughter prays her father will come home.
"The life we had isn't going to happen again.," Jennifer Martin said. "We'll have to find a new life."
Martin's case split the Mt. Diablo school district community. Threats were made to the schools during the trial, and individuals attacked one another on social media and blogs, Clancy said. One mother was barred from the courthouse, Clancy said, for confronting jurors and Martin supporters.
That mother released a statement Thursday: "We are devastated by the verdict. It's sad that Mr. Clancy would twist our pain into a defense strategy that we were never able to address."

4 Opinions
@miknos , first of all, Truecrypt currently doesn't support System Encryption (Whole Disk Encryption). Second, I do use GPG (gnupg) with Mutt and every other application requiring encryption on my mac. Third, Truecrypt uses MacFuse, which means we 64-bit kernel folk, can't use it.
In any case, this software isn't exactly cheap (~100€), but its worth it. If you are the only user on your computer, you can get rid of Filevault and benefit from it. Time Machine does work w/out forcing you to log out and you essentially get a boot password.
The additional features aren't really interesting for me, I really only use the WDE and encrypted volume features and disable everything else. It's really nice to be able to connect a usb drive and be asked for a password immediately with no fuss.
When MacFuse+Truecrypt get WDE support for the 64-bit MacOS kernel, I'll switch in a heartbeat. Unfortunately right now, this is the only good option for WDE.
I see no reason to use this software. You can use GPG; It is free and Open Source (anyone can check if there's any backdoor hidden). And it is updated more often.
Use TrueCrypt to encrypt your HD (a chosen volume). It is FREE too.
For single files, just compress them (zip or rar). I use BetterZip (AES 256bit). You can share that file(s) without worrying about compatibility on the other side.
Very impressed with this app. I'm quite surprised, PGP definitely made a great effort to make a REAL Mac app and not just a half-arsed port. Way to go PGP.
I would not depend on this app. I recommend a different way to secure communication. Stopped using because of too many crashes and too often non-functionality.

I have one ticket to the Obama event tomorrow at Living History Farms. The National and Chris Cornell performing. These are supposed to be "priority seating", but I doubt that means anything. And there may be tickets available anyway.
Just thought I'd throw it out there, because I know you're all as interested in politics as I am!
And music. The National are actually pretty good. O.D.?

Starting March 4, the Ashland Driver and Motor Vehicle Services Division office will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, but will close for lunch from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. each day.
The office is open Tuesday through Friday with no lunch closure.
The change provides access to DMV services on Mondays to Ashland-area customers and allows the division to shift some staff time to the busier Medford office. It also aligns the operating hours with those of similar-sized DMV offices elsewhere in the state, officials said in announcing the new hours. The change is part of DMV's ongoing statewide rebalancing of staffing levels to meet budget targets.

SABERTOOTH Z77: The ultimate thermal solution for Intel® Z77 motherboards with Thermal Armor and Thermal Radar
- LGA1155 Intel® 3rd/2nd Generation Processors Ready
- TUF Thermal Armor - Total Airflow-Boosting Heat Dissipation
- TUF Dust Defender - Repel the Dust, Expand the Lifespan
- TUF Thermal Radar - Real Time Temp. Detection and Heat Removal
- TUF Components [Choke, Cap. & MOSFET; Certified by Military-standard] - Certified for Tough Duty
- New DIGI+ Power Control - All-New Digital Power Control for both CPU and DRAM
TUF /t?f/, stands for The Ultimate Force.
The TUF series delivers a "tough" image. With the unique design & high quality components (military-standard), TUF series is born for pursuing the preeminent stability, all-round compatibility, and extreme durability
"Ultimate COOL!" Thermal Solution: Thermal Armor, Total Airflow-Boosting Heat Dissipation
New generation Thermal Armor boosts cooling with dual turbo fans, enhancing the original TUF thermal design and helping direct hot air away from components and the motherboard via smart shunt funneling. It covers the entire board with more powerful airflow, and uses special heat pipes to expedite thermal removal and make sure temperatures stay low. The dedicated I/O cover fan draws additional cold air in and expels even more heat for improved stability, plus new Thermal Armor comes with special convection holes in the PCB to facilitate underside airflow. It now sports a cool military-themed style, perfect for case modders.
Thermal Radar: Real Time Temp Detection and Heat Removal
Thermal Radar monitors temperatures in critical parts of the board, automatically adjusting fan speeds for better system stability. Fan Overtime keeps fans working in critical minutes post shutdown to extend component lifespan, dropping temperatures by 7?C in just ten minutes after the computer turns off. New Fan Off consists of a switch that disables fans should temperatures drop below a manually or automatically set level for effective power consumption.
"Safe & Stable!" Guardian Angel: Dust Defender, Repel the Dust, Expand the Lifespan
Dust particles and environmental contamination present a constant hazard to the optimal functioning of slots and connectors. Build up on contact points within slots compromises data transfer over time, negating the benefits of expensive and critical components such as graphics cards. Custom TUF design keeps this in mind with special shields that resist particulate entry, effectively extending slot and connector lifespan while promoting better performance.
ESD Guards: Unique protection of motherboard components from unexpected electrostatic discharges (ESD)
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can happen suddenly and its damaging effects is often underestimated. Exclusive ASUS anti-static chip, a protective circuit design, and the I/O shield provides four times better protection to extend component lifespan.

This provides great graphics performance. Intel® 3rd generation Intel® Core™ processor-based platform and 2nd generation Core™ i7/i5/i3/Pentium®/Celeron® processors are among the most powerful and energy efficient CPUs in the world
Intel® Z77 Express Chipset
The Intel® Z77 Express Chipset is a single-chipset design to support socket 1155 Intel® 3rd generation Intel® Core™ processor-based platform and 2nd generation Core™ i7/i5/i3/Pentium®/Celeron® processors. It provides improved performance by utilizing serial point-to-point links, allowing increased bandwidth and stability. Additionally, Z77 chipset provides 4 USB 3.0 ports for 10 times faster data retrieval speed. Moreover, Intel® Z77 Express Chipset can also enable iGPU function, letting users enjoy the latest Intel® integrated graphic performance.
PCIe 3.0 Ready
PCI Express® 3.0 (PCIe 3.0) is the latest PCI Express bus standard with improved encoding schemes that provide twice the performance of current PCIe 2.0. Total bandwidth for a x16 link reaches a maximum of 32GB/s, double the 16GB/s of PCIe 2.0 (in x16 mode). As such, PCIe 3.0 provides users unprecedented data speeds, combined with the convenience and seamless transition offered by complete backward compatibility with PCIe 1.0 and PCIe 2.0 devices. PCIe 3.0 will become a must-have feature for users who wish to improve and optimize graphic performance, as well as have the latest technology available to them. * PCIe 3.0 speed is supported by Intel® 3rd generation Core™ processors.

Fantastic Board
Reviewed by Jamie Haden. Review Posted 03/01/2013
This board is a dream; the only fiddly part is mounting the board to the case as the thermal armour means u need a long screwdriver to fix the board.
The monitoring software is a dream as well as the UEFI bios; its extremely easy to configure and there are failsafes should you go wrong. A huge factor is the fact it will charge your smart phone as if it was plugged into the mains; you must choose the correct USB3 port on the back though

The Pathfinder Central Trail Blazers committee created a plan for remedial action to help libraries struggling with PILL get the training and support they need to be an efficient and active member on PILL lending and borrowing.
Step 1: Get the library staff a mentor and additional training
Library takes steps to learn best practices and procedures and integrate the routine into daily, weekly and monthly activities.
Step 2: One on one discussion with Pathfinder Manager.
Working with the Pathfinder Manager, a plan is created to help the library meet goals. Library works to maintain consistent and efficient use of best practices and procedures.
Step 3: Trailblazers Review (library experiencing difficulty will appear before the committee and be subject to review).
Working with the committee, the plan is reviewed and implemented to best help the library achieve PILL best practices.
Step 4: Loss of Courier.
After sufficient warnings, discussions, trainings, and support, the library will be taken off the courier plan.
Step 5: Removal from Pathfinder Central.
After continued refusal to meet PILL best practices and procedures, the library will be given their cataloging data and be removed from Pathfinder Central Consortia Catalog. CKLS will provide advice and support to find a new catalog and transfer data.
Between each step, the library will be given time to learn the procedures and best practices and to train staff as needed.
Most issues will be resolved with Steps 1 & 2.
Few issues will not be resolved by Step 3.
Rarely will an issue reach Steps 4 or 5.

News 12 at 11 o'clock / Friday, Nov. 2, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- After local health officials promised parents their kids would be safe, two local high schools decided to play on, but the crowd reflected a different story.
"The fans, the staff, everyone attending the game, including the football players, they are all safe," assured Larry Walker from the Richmond County Health Department.
A relief to hear after a recent tuberculosis scare at Butler High.
"They love their football in Burke County, but they also love their children, and I think we gave them a pretty effective feeling of security," said Burke County Schools Administrative Liason Chris Henry.
Even though the experts said there was nothing to worry about, the crowd showed many parents were not convinced.
"We can understand why the parents are concerned, but their concerns I can say without a doubt, can be allayed or reduced or diminished, because in this environment, football game, open air, there's no chance that their child can be exposed," Walker said confidently.
Deciding to travel to Butler's home field to play the game was no easy decision.
"We worked with the Burke County Health Department, we worked with the Richmond County Health Department, a physician in Waynesboro helped us, public relations helped us," Henry said.
After hours of research and talking to medical experts, Henry says learning more about the bacteria helped him make a confident decision to play.
"What we've learned since investigating it is that this is the absolute best place for us to be tonight with this open air, which is gonna totally dissipate any of the bacteria that could be around," Henry said.
Walker realizes that when people "hear TB, you think uh oh, I've got something that's gonna kill me," but without enclosed spaces, poor ventilation and a long period of exposure -- practically the opposite of a football game -- experts say contracting TB is nearly impossible.
Once both teams learned that their only concern became winning.
"Let's not focus on the TB. Let's focus on the QB, and let's see what happens," Henry said.
News 12 asked if there was any concern about being in the locker rooms.
Henry said Burke County did take precautions. They decided to arrive a little later than normal and abbreviate the time spent in the locker rooms altogether.
He also mentioned the band was missing quite a few members tonight because their parents did not want them to attend.

I guess I wasn't.
Might wanna check yourself before you start calling me a lazy thinker though, homie.

Black/White/Hyper Turquoise
- Be Fast. Be Mercurial.
- Currently Unavailable
This limited edition Vapor was created in honor of the vibrant energy of 2014 host country Brazil.
Engineered for uncompromising explosive speed in every direction, the Mercurial Vapor IX has a new composite chassis and a more contoured fit for the ultimate traction and control in any condition. Can you handle the speed?
Neymar, Theo Walcott, Eden Hazard and many more greats will lace into the electrifying speed of the Vapor IX.
A soft, Tejin upper molds to the foot for high-speed control. It doesn't matter if you can go fast if you can't control the ball.
The fastest cleat in the game is now equipped with All Conditions Control (ACC) technology for optimal ball control in wet or dry conditions.
A contoured speed last mirrors the shape of the foot for a snug, track spike-like fit.
A low toe box helps the foot get under the ball.
Zonal reinforcements in the medial and lateral sides offer support and lockdown.
Minimalist, soft heel counter locks the foot in place.
The lightweight perforated sockliner has a textile liner that mirrors the natural shape of the foot for low profile cushioning.
Two-layers of glass fiber are fused together on the outsole for flexibility and responsiveness. This design transfers foot-planting energy directly to the cleats, reducing stud pressure and offering instant support and stability.
Composite and direct injected TPU studs dig and release instantly for exceptional traction and explosive speed. A speed stud in the midfoot enhances speed and support in this high-pressure zone for full-speed sprints.
Forefoot grip zone (inspired by track spikes) creates toe-off traction for that extra burst of speed.
With two longer studs on the heel and asymmetrical bladed forefoot stud design, the Vapor IX outsole delivers not just straight-ahead speed, but the traction for quick cuts and turns and explosive take off.
Be Fast. Be Mercurial.
WEIGHT: 6.6 oz.

I've heard a number of different things in regards to what a person should eat on race day. Usually, however, the general consensus seems to be "whatever you're used to running on." I understand everyone functions differently, but are there any good suggestions/preferences that you could share? I'm not just looking for specific foods/drinks (although that would be helpful, too), but also any tips that you could offer about timing breakfasts or meals before running a full marathon.
Thanks in advance!
Hi JD,
Everyone is so different, as you suggested. I could only offer that usually it is a good idea to eat a light, mild amount two hours before the race. I limit myself to one-half fruit, one granola bar, vitamin water and raisins because that reduces the liklihood of stomach upset over the long haul. Do not experiment with sports drinks direclty before or during the race. They are complicated and it may be challenging to find the ones that work best for your individual circumstances. I try to consume all calories before 4:00PM the evening before a long event to give my digestive process additional time to work to the maximum.
Also, the notion of carb-loading is relevant for anticipated running over two hours, but not all of a sudden, for example, the night before a full marathon. Some additional carbs should be slowly added at least two weeks out. (In other words, there is little benefit to a huge bowl of spaghetti on the eve of the race, especially in the absence of other preparations). I always choose high protein, moderate carb and low fat options. (again, because I have already adjusted the carbs over time). My favorite pre-race meal is actually raw tuna.
Wishing you all the best!
Here are some links to my race day nutrition:
BS Nutrition
This is actually something I am trying to figure out as well. I know the bagel/peanut butter combination is beloved but am not a huge fan of peanut butter. I have done a bagel with a hard boiled egg some and oatmeal some, but am not sure if I am on the right path or not. For some reason race day nutrition kind of baffels me even though I have the rest of my diet down pretty well.. I even tried to search here for eggs and found nothing haha.
I like to get something in 250 350 cal range about two hours before the start. I think most people would tell you it's best to have try it before your race. Anything new on race day can cause a issue, you don't want any additional issues, GI' things can happen. I drink a a drink that has 250 cals and eat a banana with peanut butter. A very gereral rule from one of the companies is: 2-4 hours before have a high-card, low-fat. low fiber meal. 30-60 mins before, have a high-card snack (aim for 40-60 grams of carbs). Try it on one of your long runs before doing it in a race!

Students line LA street with desks in protest
Published: Wednesday, April 9, 2014 at 8:16 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, April 9, 2014 at 8:16 p.m.
LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles students protesting neglect of poorer schools took to the streets, and they brought their desks with them.
Some 375 empty desks blocked a downtown street, stopping traffic for several hours Tuesday outside the Los Angeles Unified School District's offices.
Organizers say the number represents how many students drop out of the district's schools each week.
Protesters want a student voice on the school board, and more funding for English language learners, foster children and low-income students.
District officials declined to comment on the protest.

(Did she just say there's linguine in that frittata?) Yes, she did. But before you call her crazy, note that she based this recipe on one from Giada De Laurentiis on the Food Network.
1/2 pound linguine
7 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup cream cheese, room temperature
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp salt
3/4 tsp pepper
1/8 tsp nutmeg
6 ounces ham or canadian bacon, diced
5 ounces smoked mozzarella cheese, diced (1 cup)
1/2 cup Asiago cheese, grated
1/4 cup parsley, chopped
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray muffin tin with cooking spray.
Cook linguine in boiling water per package directions. Drain and coarsely chop into smaller pieces. Place in large mixing bowl. Add the diced ham, cheeses and parsley. Stir to combine.
Place eggs, milk, cream, cream cheese, garlic powder, salt, pepper and nutmeg in blender. Blend until thoroughly combined.
Distribute linguine and ham mixture among 12 muffin cups. Then pour egg mixture over the top of each.
Bake in preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until set. Let cool for 3-5 minutes before removing from tin.

December 8, 2005
Right now, officers can only write a seatbelt violation ticket if you are pulled over for something else first. At midnight, they can pull you over for simply not buckling up. News 12 has more on what this law might do for everyone.
"I'm bad about not putting my seatbelt on," one driver said.
So the state is giving drivers a little more motivation. Officers can now pull people over just for not wearing their seat belt.
"I'm going to try harder to remember," a driver said.
But if a ticket doesn't make drivers remember, maybe this mother will. Edie Graham's 18-year-old son Garry died this March in a car accident. The Eureka firefighter wasn't wearing his seatbelt. In her son's memory, Edie is reminding others of the power of buckling up.
"I wear mine all the time and I make any passengers wear theirs and I'm a firm believer in the seatbelt law," Graham said.
Each year, about 500 people are killed in car accidents in South Carolina. All of those deaths could have been prevented with a seatbelt. The hops it his law will get 11 percent more South Carolinians to buckle up. 11 percent saves 64 lives, 640 injuries and $140 million each year.
The Highway Patrol is not launching a major campaign to ticket people for breaking the law.
"But we do want to send the message to everybody at home that they need to buckle up and whatever strategy we need to take to get that message across, that's what we'll set out to do," said Capt. Chris Williamson, SC Highway Patrol.
The message: That click will save you $25 and might just save your life.

Bon Iver
Joined in his live shows by Sean Carey, Vernon toured throughout the eastern U.S. and Canada throughout the remainder of the year, sharing the stage with like-minded singer/songwriter Elvis Perkins. As the year progressed, the album became quite popular with both the buying public and critics, eventually landing on a number of "best of 2008" year-end lists. In January 2009, Bon Iver returned with an EP of old and new songs titled Blood Bank. One of Vernon's fans turned out to be Kanye West, who brought him to Hawaii later that year to add vocals to a couple tracks on West's 2010 album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. When it came time to return to Vernon's own music, he continued stretching his legs by composing orchestral, lushly arranged folk songs that turned their back on For Emma's intimate sound. The new tunes were released during the following summer as Bon Iver. It received generally positive reviews, topped the charts in several countries, and hit number two in America. In February 2012, Bon Iver won two Grammy awards: Best Alternative Album and Best New Artist. ~ Margaret Reges

Week in Review
Week in Review: "Convening a Conversation" on Health Care Policy
06.21.13 | By
As our President and CEO John Castellani emphasized, "Healthy debate is the foundation of progress and advancement." This is something we feel very strongly about, and the initiatives announced this week show our commitment to being part of the ongoing dialogue around health care.
One such initiative is our new "Conversations" forum. Conversations allows influential voices from throughout the health care field to compare notes and exchange ideas on a variety of health care issues. The biopharmaceutical industry is leading this dialogue because it is uniquely positioned to convene innovators, stakeholders, patients, elected officials and others with views to share about the state of health care in the United States. After all, together we are greater than the sum of our parts. While there may be differences of opinion on certain policy issues, there is a common purpose of delivering high quality care to patients.
Castellani also sat down with POLITICO to discuss our mission and highlighted how Conversations contributes to PhRMA's core mission of bringing research, progress and hope to millions of patients. Compiling opinions of influential thought leaders will help us work toward finding answers to the big issues that will shape health care during the next generation, and continue to develop our reputation as a "trusted source" and "thought leader" for the health care industry.
Engaging in an ongoing dialogue about health will mean forming alliances with different organizations to emphasize the importance of key issues. To this end, we recently joined the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce as part of the newly formed Alliance for Fair Trade with India (AFTI). Members of this coalition will educate the public and policy makers about unfair trading practices in India and the ongoing issue of intellectual property theft. When other countries don't play by internationally recognized rules, U.S. jobs and innovation suffer.
Castellani has made it clear that we, as an organization, want the reputation of being engaged on the big health policy questions of the day. We want you to be involved, too. Check back next week for more about Conversations, and leave comments below to let us know what you would like to hear more about.

We've spent an amazing week in Barcelona and all thanks to mrs Monicas great apartment. The rooms is clean and nice. The whole flat isn't very big but for us it wasn't that important. The tarrace is the best. Also, great localisation, it is really close to sagrada familia, the subway or to bus to go to the beach.
There was only one bad thing about this room. Our window went to the inside of neighbourhood qnd sometimes we couldn't sleep at night because of the noisy neighbour
It was a very nice stay. It was a cosy appartment. It was clean. We enjoyed it big time! We also want to Thank Monica for her kindness!
Thank you! Next time we travel to Barcelona we will come back.
We had a great stay.
the apartment is nice, well located and Monica are really friendly.
excellent experience.
Nous avons passé un très bon séjour.
l'appartement est agréable, bien situé et Monica est vraiment sympathique.
excellente expérience.
Location centrally located and yet very quiet apartment, roof terrace, environment, accessibility to all attractions were very good. The only thing that was really to complain about was the cleanliness of the bathroom. This was during my entire stay (5 days) not cleaned, also not previously; When several people that share a bath, not so pleasant! Nevertheless, I would choose the apartment again because of the location.
Lage zentral und doch sehr ruhig, Wohnung, Dachterrasse, Umgebung, Erreichbarkeit aller Sehenswürdigkeiten waren sehr gut. Das Einzige, das wirklich zu beanstanden war, war die Sauberkeit des Bades. Hier wurde während meines gesamten Aufenthaltes ( 5 Tage) nicht gereinigt, auch vorher nicht; Bei mehreren Personen, die sich ein Bad teilen, nicht so angenehm! Trotzdem würde ich aufgrund der Lage das Appartment noch einmal auswählen.
Super! The reception and the organization was pleasant and were uneventful. Monica is very flexible and I recommend the super apartment.
Super! L accueil et l organisation fut agreable et se sont deroule sans probleme. Monica est tres flexible et je recommande le super appartement.
Nice and quiet for being so centrally. Comfortable beds, important. We shared kitchen, bathroom, dining room and terrace with others. Worked mckt good, an English girl looked out and greeted when we arrived, others saw / heard we never slightly off. No problem for Monica that we arrived rather late (in the middle of the night.) We can think of to stay there again. Margaret Kårelind
Tyst och lugnt för att vara så centralt. Sköna sängar, viktigt. Vi delade kök, bad, matrum och terass med flera. Fungerade mckt bra, en engelsk tjej tittade ut och hälsade när vi kom, övriga såg/ hörde vi aldrig ngt av. Inga problem för Monica att vi kom rätt sent ( mitt i natten.) Vi kan tänka oss att bo där igen. Margareta kårelind
Apartment very nice, large room, clean ... Nothing to say! Monica is very nice ....
To choose without hesitation.
Pros: clean, quiet, friendly, location
Cons: no lock to the room (not a problem for us)
Appartement très agréable, grande chambre, propre... Rien a dire! Monica est très sympa....
À choisir sans hésitation.
Points positifs : propre, calme, sympa, emplacement
Points négatifs : pas de serrure à la chambre (pas un problème pour nous)
Super cute hostess, classroom, beautiful home, especially the roof terrace is a dream!
That the apartment is with another double room and one single room shares no problem, Monica comes every day and looks to make sure everything is in order.
Only criticism is the kitchen with the pots and pans, it was difficult to find anything that you want to use because of the lack of cleanliness. The same goes for the oven.
All in all, really great, we would go back anytime!
Super nette Gastgeberin, Klasse Zimmer, schöne Wohnung, vor allem die Dachterrasse ist ein Traum!
Dass man die Wohnung mit einem anderen Doppelzimmer und einem Einzelzimmer teilt ist überhaupt kein Problem, Monica kommt jeden Tag und sieht nach ob alles in Ordnung ist.
Einziger Kritikpunkt ist die Küche, bei den Töpfen und Pfannen war es schwierig überhaupt etwas zu finden, das man aufgrund der nicht vorhandenen Sauberkeit benutzen möchte. Das Gleiche gilt für den Backofen.
Alles in allem aber echt super wir würden jederzeit wieder kommen!
Very nice apartment (especially roof terrace). Everything you need is available. Because of the holiday landlady was cleaned a little late but this did not present itself as a problem.
Sehr schöne Wohnung (insbesondere Dachterrasse). Alles verfügbar was man braucht. Wegen Urlaub der Vermieterin wurde etwas verspätet geputzt was sich aber nicht als Problem darstellte.
Apartment very nice and friendly, clean and functional. You can use the kitchen and all that is present. The photos represent faithfully the reality, for the summer period the communal area overlooking the terrace is very cool and pleasant. Monica is very friendly and helpful, provides some household products, hygiene and food for the guests. He gave us the option of using a desktop computer. Very good location, 10 minutes walk from the Sagrada Familia and 5 minutes from the metro. The area is quiet and peaceful.
Appartamento davvero molto carino e accogliente, pulito e funzionale. É possibile utilizzare la cucina e tutto cio che é presente. Le foto rappresentano fedelmente la realtà, per il periodo estivo la zona in comune che dà sulla terrazza è molto fresca e piacevole. Monica è molto gentile e disponibile, mette a disposizione alcuni prodotti per la casa, l igiene e il cibo per gli ospiti. Ci ha dato la possibilità di utilizzare un computer fisso. Posizione molto buona, a 10 minuti a piedi dalla Sagrada Familia e a 5 minuti dalla metro. La zona è tranquilla e silenziosa.

Ackman, Icahn Silent Amid Herbalife's Earnings Call
By Mia Lamar and Juliet Chung
Dueling billionaire investors Carl Icahn and William Ackman, who have gone toe-to-toe in a battle over the legitimacy of Herbalife, were silent Wednesday as the nutritional-supplements maker held a conference call to discuss its better-than-expected fourth-quarter earnings.
Mr. Ackman has bet against the company's shares, setting up a more than $1 billion short position accompanied by a high-profile campaign questioning Herbalife's business and calling its distribution model a "pyramid scheme." Mr. Icahn, meanwhile, has taken a 13% stake in the company and said he intends to discuss potential strategic alternatives with the company, which he insists has significant growth potential.
The battle has played out in the public eye, notably when the two men sparred last month in a televised war of words on business news network CNBC.

Questioned about Mr. Icahn on the conference call, Herbalife Chief Executive Michael Johnson acknowledged the company has had "short discussions" with the activist investor, but had "nothing concrete to report."
"We continue to believe, obviously, that the stock represents a compelling investment opportunity," Mr. Johnson said.
Shares, trading flat before the conference call, declined slightly as executives fielded questions and were down 2.6% to $38.65 in early afternoon trade.
Neither Mr. Ackman nor Mr. Icahn spoke on the call. A spokeswoman for Mr. Ackman's firm, Pershing Square Capital Management, declined to immediately comment on the matter. A spokeswoman for Mr. Icahn said he was unavailable to comment.
The company Wednesday said it is adjusting its disclosures on distributor compensation and plans to "simplify" how it discusses its business, including clarifying the role of certain distributors.
"There is a misperception in the market that people frankly have sought to capitalize on," said Herbalife President Des Walsh, referring to certain distributors who act more like wholesale buyers of products for their own use.
The company also said it has employed an executive search firm to hire a head of research that will help Herbalife "better understand the motivation behind" purchases of its products.
After Tuesday's market close, Herbalife reported a fourth-quarter profit of $117.9 million, or $1.05 a share, up from $105.4 million, or 86 cents a share a year earlier. Net sales rose 20% to $1.06 billion.
The company last month said it expected to report a profit of $1.02 to $1.05 a share on a 20% increase in sales, raising earlier company expectations for the quarter.
UPDATE: Pershing was not allowed to ask a question on the call, said Pershing founder William Ackman, whose December disclosure that his firm had taken a massive short position against Herbalife thrust the nutritional supplement maker into the spotlight recently.
Mr. Ackman said that Shane Dinneen, the Pershing analyst who spent a year looking into Herbalife, tried several times to ask a question but was not allowed to.
"Our question for Herbalife is: Why have you not answered any of the questions that we submitted?," Mr. Ackman wrote in an email Wednesday. "[Herbalife President] Des Walsh on national television committed to answer questions that we asked in the interest of transparency…Wouldn't answering our questions help eliminate any confusion that you believe is in the marketplace?"
