Kukla's Korner Hockey
A More Physical Chara

from the Hockey Journal,
Chara said he expects there to be more physical play both from him and his teammates.
"I think it's a big part of the game – the physical and obviously the fighting is part of the game," he said. "When it's the time necessary, you have to decide right away if it's something you have to step in and do. But I think the physical part of taking the body and finishing checks should be mandatory, and that's what we're going to try to do. It doesn't mean you have to try to run the guy and put him in the third row, but you always have to finish the check and bump into the guy and make it difficult on him."
Chara was asked why he didn't fight last season. He responded, "There was some reasons. I'm not going to talk about them."
When pushed further about former head coach Dave Lewis' possible penchant for telling his star players not to fight, Chara then responded, "That's one of the things, yeah."

Signal transduction begins with reception of a signal (e.g. a ligand binding to a receptor or receptor activation by a stimulus such as light), or for signal transduction in the absence of ligand, signal-withdrawal or the activity of a constitutively active receptor. Signal transduction ends with regulation of a downstream cellular process, e.g. regulation of transcription or regulation of a metabolic process. Signal transduction covers signaling from receptors located on the surface of the cell and signaling via molecules located within the cell. For signaling between cells, signal transduction is restricted to events at and within the receiving cell.

|Brad Marchand, Tuukka Rask lead Bruins past Senators
|02.18.11 at 10:07 pm ET
The new-look Bruins didn't get off to the prettiest of starts, but they finished strong to earn a 4-2 victory over the Senators at Scotiabank Place on Friday night.
Brad Marchand had a pair of goals, while Andrew Ference, Nathan Horton and David Krejci also multi-point performances. Krejci now has 11 points over his last 10 contests. Dennis Seidenberg also scored for the B's.
Marlborough native and former University of New Hampshire Wildcat Bobby Butler provided the Senators with their first tally, beating Tuukka Rask at 2:50 of the second period for his third goal in three games. Butler's strike opened the game's scoring, but Marchand's goal from Tyler Seguin and Ference pulled the B's even. After Horton gave them the lead at 9:47 of the third, the B's never looked back. Alexei Kovalev scored for the Senators with 1:30 remaining in the game.
Rask made 32 saves in the game, improving to 7-11-1 on the season.
– Almost unbelievably, Rask has won back-to-back games for the first time all season. The 23-year-old netminder hasn't really gotten many opportunities to string together much success, but with Claude Julien clearly willing to give him more starts down the stretch, Rask's performances Thursday and Friday are good for both the confidence of the Finland native and the B's.
– Friday was about a couple of veterans making their Bruins debuts, but it was the rookies who once again came up big for the B's. Seguin took a pass from Ference to set up Marchand's 17th goal of the year, and considering how he's played the last two nights, it will be hard for the Bruins to scratch the second overall pick when the team returns to action Tuesday in Calgary. With Marchand's two tallies, he now has 18 on the season.
– On a night in which it appeared Horton may be regressing back to the point where he was back to slumping, the 25-year-old came up big. He entered the night with just one point over his last four games, but he fired a beautiful wrester past Robin Lehner off a nice pass from Krejci at 9:47 of the third. He also drew a holding penalty on holding penalty on Erik Karlsson in the second period, though he went off for holding Milan Michalek at 11:38 of the third.
– The team showed how their power play will be able to operate with Tomas Kaberle, as the newcomer helped orchestrate Seidenberg's goal. On the night, the B's power play went 1-for-5.
– The Bruins came out in the first period like a team that had spent the day selling off assets, and not gaining them. They played with very little energy in the first, getting outshot 12-5. Rask came up big throughout the period, which is the silver lining in a surprisingly flat start by the Bruins.
The Bruins did pick it up after their sluggish period, grabbing a 13-8 advantage in shots in the second period and sustaining that increased energy through the third.
– Johnny Boychuk was a healthy scratch for the second straight game. With Kaberle now in the fold, Boychuk could be the guy that is a regular healthy scratch, with Adam McQuaid and Steven Kampfer also candidates.
|Bruins snap skid with win over Islanders
|02.17.11 at 9:27 pm ET
The Bruins broke a three-game losing streak by turning on the offense against a pair of Islanders goaltenders in a 6-3 victory at Nassau Coliseum on Thursday night.
Tyler Seguin had his third multi-point game of the season, as he set up Blake Wheeler's goal to open the scoring 55 seconds into the game and added his 10th goal of the season in the second period. Wheeler and David Krejci also had multi-point nights with a goal and an assist apiece. Mark Recchi, Gregory Campbell and Milan Lucic also scored for the Bruins. Lucic now has 24 goals on the season, which leads the team.
After the team jumped out to a 4-0 lead, John Tavares scored the first of his two goals on the game in a back-and-forth second period. Josh Bailey scored the other Islanders' goal.
Islanders starter Nathan Lawson was scored after Seguin's goal made it 5-1, and Al Montoya made 13 saves on 14 shots. Tuukka Rask improved to 6-11-1 on the season.
– Some have been too quick to give Seguin credit where it isn't due, but it's safe to say that Seguin was bringing everything Thursday night that he needs to. The 19-year-old was every bit as engaged as the Bruins are hoping for him to be down the stretch. This was highlighted in the second period, where he was persistent enough score his 10th of the season while losing his balance. Later in the period, he dove at the blue line to keep the puck in the offensive zone.
Seguin's performances weren't anything special in his first two games following last week's healthy scratches (in the case of Sunday, it was detrimental in Detroit), but Thursday's was the type of performance that suggests the youngster is starting to get it.
– As hectic as things were in the second period, it's good to see Rask turn in a solid performance in the victory. The third goal was preventable, but but considering that he was pulled after two periods and five goals last Friday against the Red Wings, encouraging signs are welcomed for a guy who you have to assume will get more time between now and the end of the season.
– All three lines scored for the Bruins, and their six goals equaled the number they scored in their losing streak. More nights like Thursday would be a welcomed sign for a team that had been outscored 14-6 over their last three.
– Michael Ryder's minus-1 made him the lone Bruins player with a negative rating on the game. Now at a minus-5 on the season, Ryder is the only Bruin currently on the roster with a negative rating on the year.
– The Bruins went from dominating the first period to playing in a closely contested second period, and that speaks to both the Islanders waking up and the B's not keeping the pedal to the metal. They still scored three in the second period, but the Islanders' opportunities against Rask were far more frequent, as the Bruins were outshot, 22-12, in the second.
– Tavares simply did damage. In addition to his two goals, the former first overall pick could have had a hat trick if it weren't for a third-period bid behind Rask sliding across the crease.
|Bruins trail Red Wings, 2-1, after first period
|02.11.11 at 7:43 pm ET
The Red Wings jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first 3:10 Friday, but David Krecji's first goal in 21 games has the B's down by just one entering the second.
The Wings got on the board just 1:10 into the game when Todd Bertuzzi beat Tuukka Rask on Detroit's first shot of the game. Henrik Zetterberg got a secondary assist on the play, giving him 42 helpers on the season.
Detroit's second shot also yielded a goal, as Jiri Hudler hit Daniel Clearly in front of the net, with the right winger picking up his 17th goal of the season.
With the Bruins on the power play, Red Wings netminder Jimmy Howard came out of his net slightly to tend to Milan Lucic on a Zdeno Chara shot. Lucic gained possession of the puck and def it to Krecji, who sent it into the unoccupied net for an easy goal.
The Red Wings outshot the Bruins, 12-7.
|Bruins struggle on power play in loss to Sharks
|02.05.11 at 4:59 pm ET
On the Bruins' first power play of Saturday's 2-0 loss to the Sharks, Milan Lucic had a golden opportunity to tie the game up. A Zdeno Chara one-timer led to a rebound at the left side of the net and gave Lucic a brief look at an open cage. Unfortunately for the Bruins, Lucic's bid went wide right.
That was the closest the Bruins would get on the power play, as they ultimately finished the game 0-for-4 on the man advantage. Not only did they fail to get another great look on their final three power plays, but they struggled to even get set up in the offensive zone.
'Our power play tonight had a tough time,' said coach Claude Julien. 'Tonight was probably one of the tougher times we've had at getting the puck in. When we did get it in, we weren't winning those battles for loose pucks and they kept shooting it back down the ice. That was probably, to me, the biggest difference in tonight's game.'
The Bruins have now gone 0-for-12 on the power play over their last five games and 1-for-19 over their last seven. Julien said Saturday's problems with getting organized and maintaining possession don't really reflect how the power play has performed lately, though.
'I think the other night against Dallas, even though we didn't score, our power play was good,' Julien said. 'We moved the puck well and we had some chances and we didn't score. '¦ So we really felt our power play had taken a stride in the right direction. Tonight was a totally different case. We weren't good enough in that area. This is our best players having to be at their best.'
Julien credited the Sharks with doing a good job on the penalty kill, but he also said his players could've made better decisions with the puck to try and overcome that.
'They were here the other night watching us, obviously, and they made some adjustments with their PK,' Julien said. 'At the same time, we still have other options, and I don't think our guys always took the best options. Consequently, we weren't getting in clean.'
As much as the power play struggled, David Krejci said he liked some of the chances the Bruins generated on it in the first period. He also said he thinks it has looked pretty good lately despite the dearth of goals.
He pointed out that if Lucic's rebound bid had gone in instead of going wide, he probably wouldn't have to answer questions about the power play's struggles.
'If that goes in,' Krejci said, 'it would be a different game and we wouldn't be talking about how the power play was bad tonight.'
|David Krejci stuck with wrong sticks
|at 4:38 pm ET
David Krejci knows that after the B's were shut out Saturday, it's in his hands to keep the top line producing. Right now, he just doesn't like what's in his hands.
Krejci, who has a contract with Bauer, has been in a bit of an unusual spot over the last couple of games. An issue with manufacturing the stick he uses each night has left him using a stick he's had trouble getting a feel for.
"This stick sucks, and that's all I've got," Krejci, in his usual calm demeanor, said after Saturday's game. "You can put it up on TV or in the papers. I don't care. This stick sucks."
The irony in the situation, of course, is that Krejci is a happy user of Bauer and loves the stick that he usually plays with. The problem is that the factory that manufactures his stick, for whatever reason, will not be able to produce his model of choice again until Feb. 11, and as a result, he's left with the type he used to use earlier in his career.
"We ordered the sticks, my guy said they were coming [when] he ordered them," the center said. "The trainers called them again because they didn't come in the mail and they said, 'Oh yeah, we've closed the factory and we're going to open it up again. We're not making any sticks until Feb. 11,' so they sent me the sticks that I used to use a long time ago."
Krejci fell out of love with the stick when he used them earlier in his career, but it seems he'll have to get used to them over the next few games.
"That was the reason why I changed from those sticks to the new ones I'm using, because I don't like these ones," he said. "I changed them because I didn't like them anymore, but [now] it's the only thing I can have."
Krejci hasn't scored in 19 games, though he has five assists over his last six games. The center, who is accountable when it comes to his game, stressed that he wasn't talking about his own performance or suggesting that his unhappiness with the stick has hurt his play.
"I'm not making excuses for my game," Krejci said. "I just don't like that stick. That's all it is."
This isn't the first time a Bruins player has had a peculiar hangup regarding equipment. Blake Wheeler had issues with his skates last season before switching to CCM for this season.
|Only soreness for David Krejci after injury scare
|01.27.11 at 1:06 am ET
The Bruins aren't exactly in a position to lose a skill center. Given Marc Savard's latest concussion, the team can play the "been there, done that" card with regard to such a scenario.
That's why when David Krejci took a hit from Rostislav Olesz, crashed into the boards and remained down for a few minutes before leaving and making toward the tunnel in the first period, it was a clear-cut case of something the Bruins didn't need.
"When he first went down, the last thing you want to see is [him] not come back," coach Claude Julien said after the game. "We're already minus one pretty good centerman so you certainly don't want to lose that second one."
Yet Krejci, who appeared to be in shoulder pain while down on the ice, didn't end up missing a shift for the B's. He was back on the bench shortly after the play and knew he was good to go.
"It wasn't my shoulder, it was like my whole arm getting tweaked going for position and it was a little uncomfortable for a few seconds, so I stayed on the ice," Krejci said. "It got a little better so it's sore but obviously nothing major.
"I waited on the ice a long time and when I was skating off it felt a little better. I didn't know if it was the shoulder or something. But when I was skating off the ice I knew the shoulder was fine so I was pretty sure I would come back."
Krejci returned to make a huge play for the B's, winning the faceoff that set up Milan Lucic's second-period goal, the tally that proved to be the game-winner when all was said and done.
If any of the soreness lingers for Krejci, it couldn't come at a better time. Teams now break for All-Star weekend, and the center and most of his teammates will have the next five days to rest up.
"There's no doubt these next five days will be good for him and probably a lot of the other players too that are playing a little banged up," Julien said. "It is, I guess, a break that we needed. We certainly didn't need him going down and not getting him back."
|Milan Lucic adds to Bruins lead in second period
|01.26.11 at 8:37 pm ET
Milan Lucic is a 20-goal-scorer for the first time, and after two periods the Bruins lead the Panthers, 2-0.
David Krejci, who had an injury scare on the first period after crashing into the boards, made the second period memorable for a more positive reason. The pivot won a face-off clean in the Panthers zone and drew it back to Lucic, who scored on a snapshot at 1:52. Lucic's career-high for goals in a season was 17, which he scored in 2008-09, a season in which he played 72 games.
There were no penalties in the period, and through two the only penalty came in the form of a first-period high-sticking call on Panthers forward Christopher Higgins.
The shutout remains intact for Tim Thomas, with the B's outshooting the Panthers, 26-19.

I updated from 1.2.2 > 1.3.1
Now the testimonials now display at the top of the page, above ALL page content (including the page header). It seems like it's set to position absolute top=0, right=0, because it's completely on it's own.
The [ic_do_testimonials] tag is at the top of my page content (when editing the page). The weird thing is, if I move the tag down and place it amongst the text and then update... the text above the tag now displays at the top of the page (above ALL page content as well as the testimonials).
I have downgraded back to the previous versions for the time being, while a fix is found. Thanks.

The Malaysian driver, who has moved to the Formula Renault 3.5 series this year, will climb into the cockpit of the grand prix car for a run around the Petronas Twin Towers on March 17.
Jaafar will be sharing the driving duties with Mercedes' development driver Sam Bird.
"It's difficult to describe the emotions I had when I was told by Petronas that I would be given the chance to drive the Mercedes; I'm happy, excited, proud and impatient for 17th March," Jaafar said.
"As there won't be an opportunity for me to drive the car before the KL event, I'm preparing by working with the team on the simulator alongside my Renault 3.5 Series programme, but to be making my F1 driving debut behind the wheel in front of a home crowd will be just totally awesome."

As Nixon said, "When the president does it, it's NOT illegal."
That whole train wreck in Nevada, even the twits on Fox news are distancing themselves as fast as they can.
The fact that they were celebrating him up till his slavery comments says plenty. The guy stole millions from us.
the mouse that roared
Lalo gets further to the left everyday, I guess Trudeau is his idol, I'm sure by now everyone has the chop job done by The times n the ranchers speech, He praises Mexicans! But you can't expect truth from leftists!
Knowing Bundy's views he might think that of "Mexicans" so it would not be surprising should we hear him say such. One usually follows the other. But not always.
Well, that's funny. I was just gonna post a comment along the lines of, " Right on, hermano."
Can we spell misdirection, folks? The guy may be a jerk, but the BLM still miss behaved. There is a bigger issue involved. Why does every regulatory agency need a SWAT Team? Once a SWAT team is created, it's a resource that can't sit idle, it's existence must be justified. This is not a good thing.
I wonder why no-one complained when the Police State used pepper spray and water cannons and SWAT teams on peaceful Occupy protesters. I remember that "cop" spraying sitting people like they were cockroaches. I'm sure he's still proud of himself.
Why was the robber, Bundy surrounded himself with gun toting militia types.

Mario is a fantastic host. The flat is clean, cosy and close to the center, train station, duomo and all the other sights. We really enjoyed our stay at this place. Mille grazie!
Had a great stay at Mario's place, it was in a wonderful location central to all the best things to see and do in Florence. He was very helpful and gave us lots of local tips. Highly recommend it!
Thanks Mario! He is a friendly easy-going guy & speaks English well. He made good recommendations of the sights & places to eat. Enjoyed chatting with him. The apartment is well-located, pretty easy to get to from the train/bus station & the main attractions. Our room is spacious with comfortable bed. Restaurants in the immediate vicinity are pricey so you may wish to heed Mario's recommendation to get more value out of your monie spent.
You share the apartment (bathroom, kitchen, living room) with the owner.
Bedroom has a good bed, is quite and cool.
Owner is easy and makes you feel welcome (didn't see him much).
Location is perfect, in the centre of the city.
Mario was extremely helpful in giving us advice as to restaurants and pubs. He was also very welcoming. His appartment is ideally located as it was a 5 minute walk from the train station, and also centrally located near all the major tourist attractions. A 5 star rating does not do him and his place justice. I would give him more if possible!
Grazie per tutto Mario!
We had an excellent experience with Mario. We arrived to the apartment earlier than planned, and he relocated us to a different room to accommodate our needs. Next time we go to Florence, it will be for longer period of time. It is such a nice city.
habitacion grande y limpia en un apartamento de ensueño. ubicacion perfecta al lado de la estacion de tren y del centro de la ciudad. mario nos ha tratado muy bien, nos hemos sentido como en casa. hacer caso a sus recomendaciones sobre restaurantes y heladerias, nos recomendo sitios estupendos. sin duda un lugar al que volveria en mi proxima visita a florencia.
Estuvimos tres noches en el apartamento de Mario. Para empezar no nos recibió él, sino que nos dio las llaves y nos explicó lo justo y necesario un amigo suyo. Después nos contó que no compartiríamos el piso con el dueño sino con otros huéspedes de otros sitios. En el caso de los huéspedes del segundo día, bastante desagradables y poco higiénicos. Además la habitación privada no dispone de llave para cerrar, algo que sí dice en el anuncio. El frigorífico está lleno de comida que no sabes si puedes utilizar ni de cuándo es... Estos problemas hicieron algo incómodas nuestras vacaciones en Florencia.

Mutant Storm, a visually stunning dual-stick shooter developed by Ninth Ninja and published by Crescent Moon Games, has just recently hit the app store. Featuring awesome neon visuals, frantic gameplay, and some of the tightest controls we've experienced, Mutant Storm is an impressive addition to any gamer's collection.
Mutant Storm Pros:
- Gorgeous neon visuals running at 60 fps
- Soundtrack is action-oriented, sound effects are plentiful
- Controls are extremely tight and responsive, offering tremendous control
- Tons of levels, multiple game modes, variety of enemies
- GameCenter provides global leaderboards and a dozen achievements
Mutant Storm Cons:
- Can get repetitive and extremely difficult
Mutant Storm provides two game modes: Adventure and Tally. Adventure mode sees you playing levels in order, one after another, with only a couple of lives to spare. There are 89 levels in all, with unlockable checkpoints at every 10th level. At this point, you also earn one extra life and a smart bomb to be used at your discretion. Your goal is to use your customizable (color scheme and shape only) craft to blast away a variety of mutant beings in each arena without being shot or coming into contact with any of the little beasties. Early levels are simple, but the difficulty ramps up quite nicely before too long. The nice thing about hitting the checkpoints is that you can start at a more challenging point rather than continually subjecting yourself to the slower-paced opening levels once you've gotten the hang of them. Many levels have blockers that are destructible, but controlling your firepower and leaving them intact will earn a point bonus at level end. You'll also earn time bonuses for completing levels before the relatively quick timer expires. Tally mode provides you access to the same 89 levels with the challenge of completing each in one-off fashion, earning as many points as possible without losing your only life. All of your best level scores are aggregated to create a cumulative score with which to challenge others on the leaderboards. There are 8 difficulty levels, represented by karate belt colors. Playing on higher difficulty levels will earn substantially more points than playing on easy levels. At the start, the first 4 difficulty levels are unlocked in Adventure mode, while all 8 are available in Tally mode. Hardcore players will love the sadistic black belt option, while casual gamers can enjoy the game from the safety of the yellow belt option.
Graphically, Mutant Storm has a vibrant and electric neon appearance, with lots of bright colors against dark backdrops and beautiful explosion effects. The frame rate is rock solid and buttery smooth, running at or near 60 fps regardless of the number of enemies chasing you down. Some destroyed enemies will produce offensive or defensive power-ups that can affect your firing pattern, unleash homing missiles, produce shields, or give you other temporary bonuses. Beware, though, as the blue defensive bonuses do not earn you any points while they are used. The soundtrack has a subdued, atmospheric quality with plenty of arcade-style sound effects to back up the on-screen action. The controls are stellar, offering some of the tightest dual-stick action we've come across. There are no actual sticks to use, allowing you to touch anywhere on the screen's left side for your movement controls and anywhere on the screen's right side to aim/fire. Tapping the screen's right side with a second finger will elicit a smart bomb attack. Any enemies destroyed by a bomb will also not earn points. The "sticks" are self-centering, giving instant movement and feedback regardless of their "positioning." We were very impressed with how well the whole package has come together.
Replay value is terrific, as practice will ultimately make you better equipped to handle the higher difficulty levels and rack up better scores. GameCenter provides global leaderboards for the 2 game modes, and there are nearly a dozen achievements to earn, too. An iPad-exclusive offering for $2.99, Mutant Storm is a wild 4.5-Dimple experience.

Can anyone recommend an accelerated RN to BSN program near Pittsburgh?
0 I am planning on going back to school for my BSN and am wondering if anyone has any suggestions about accelerated programs near Pittsburgh area.0Mar 29, '05 by CoffeeRTC, BSNThink Pitt has a program.0Mar 29, '05 by NurseyBaby'05I found three others.
Carlow, Duquesne and LaRoche. I think they're all pretty expensive though. Not that Pitt's that much cheaper.
These three are all in or close to the city. There's also Cal U in California, PA, but a lot of the classes are offered at CCAC South Campus.
http://www.cup.edu/eberly/nursing/programs.html0Apr 9, '05 by BadBirdThanks for the web links. I think I am going to Waynsburg, i'll interview in 2 weeks.0Apr 9, '05 by NurseyBaby'05One of my favorite instructors went there and really enjoyed it. I forgot all about Waynesburg. Good luck!!!0Apr 9, '05 by humglumI looked into the online RN to BSN program at Duquesne. Good luck with whatever you choose!0Jan 12, '06 by crispiThe Waynesburg program is excellent. I went there for my BSN. I am currently enrolled there for the MSN/MBA program. Good Luck0Jan 16, '06 by ChristineNJust thought I'd add that Slippery Rock also has a program and they are pretty affordable.

It was the Brewers' first loss in eight matches but they remain third in npower League Two after the sides below them failed to capitalise on the slip up.
Bell, who has been captaining the side in the absence of Zander Diamond, does not expect them to produce a repeat performance too many times before the end of the season.
"I felt we were never going to lose. I felt that confident and I feel the same here. I just don't see us losing many football matches," he told the Derby Telegraph.
"That doesn't mean I'm saying we're better than everyone else, it's just the feeling of confidence you get from winning games.
"Maybe it's the little kick up the backside we need to remind us what we have to do. We'll bounce back, we'll work hard.
"People weren't expecting us to be doing as well as we are and what we'll do is keep proving people wrong all the time."

Heat can certainly take a lot out of you; one of the most likely reasons why: you are dehydrated.
For James Alrawashdeh a "Bicycle's way easier, this just, it's faster and it makes people smile."
"It" is the unicycle he's riding, exerting way more effort than necessarily to get to work.
Like most of us, he know's he's going to sweat because he knows, "This is really hot. This is unnecesarily hot."
The symptoms of dehydration are simple:
"A lot of times it's dizziness, headache, just feeling kind of faint or just tired," said Dr. Steven Osborn with Doctors Express at Towers Shopping Center.
The explanation of why many of us may feel these symptoms this time of year may surprise you:
"It's just when you've got changes in the environment, changes in your activity, that's when you're at more risk," said Dr. John Burton with Carilion Emergency Medicine.
Doctors say this heat surge means peoples bodies need to adjust, especially when we've had a cool, rainy summer so far.
They say people need to be, "Smart about how long you're outside, when you're outside avoiding the hot time of the day, especially when you're out for very long periods of time," Burton added.
"If I come out early and it's not hot and I play it's okay, if I come out in the middle of it, I have a real hard time," said Vaneta McAlexander, exercising outside today.
ften times, people don't realize they're dehydrated, they just think they're tired or coming down with something.
That means people can resort to caffeine to wake them up, but in large doses that only makes things worse.
"If it's got a little bit of caffeine in it, iced tea, regular sodas, then that's perfectly fine. But if you're doing it one after another, a lot of it, then you really want to think about things that don't have caffeine in it," said Dr. Burton.
Doctors say there's no quick fix to dehydration, that you just have to keep drinking the right fluids and the body has to naturally adjust to the temperature change.
While it may be uncomfortable to talk about , one of the ways doctors say to guage how hydrated you are is actually to look at your urine.
If it's clear that's good as long as you've been drinking water and other non-caffeinated or non-alcoholic drinks.
If it's very yellow, that's a problem and could be a sign that you're getting dehydrated, so make sure to try and push those fluids.

Skip to comments.With dozens dead, U.S. tells Egypt to pull 'back from the brink'
Posted on 07/27/2013 5:08:58 PM PDT by SunkenCiv
The United States urged Arab ally Egypt to pull "back from the brink" after security forces killed dozens of supporters of deposed Islamist President Mohamed Mursi and opened a dangerous new phase in the army's confrontation with his Muslim Brotherhood...
Washington, treading a fine line with an important Middle East ally and recipient of over $1 billion in military aid, urged the Egyptian security forces to respect the right to peaceful protest...
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry spoke to two senior members of Egypt's army-installed interim cabinet, expressing his "deep concern."
"This is a pivotal moment for Egypt," he said in a statement. "The United States ... calls on all of Egypt's leaders across the political spectrum to act immediately to help their country take a step back from the brink."
Saturday's violence, and the threat of more, has deepened alarm in the West over events in the country of 84 million people, a vital bridge between the Middle East and North Africa.
Over 200 people have died in violence since Sisi deposed Mursi on the back of huge popular protests against his rule, ending a one-year experiment in government by the Muslim Brotherhood after decades spent in the shadows under successive Egyptian strongmen.
(Excerpt) Read more at reuters.com ...
Incompetence, thy name is Obama.
Like the US has any credibility now with this crew in charge.....
No worries; Lurch is on the case.
urged the Egyptian security forces to respect the right to peaceful protest...
My guess is that if the protest had been peaceful the Egyptian Army would not have fired on them.
I am sure the Brotherhood started it. The Egyptian Army finished it.
Obama aint happy seeing his boys get their ass kicked.
news search:
Uh... doesn't this count as way past "the brink"?
Has anyone seen or heard from Mursi since July 3? If he died resisting the coup or if he remains defiant when finally seen, things will not be pleasant in Egypt. Most rational people would love to see the Brotherhood and political Islamists to disappear, but they are numerous and will not gently retire to their mosques. Soon the lands formerly known as Christendom will be flooded with impoverished but still fervent refugees. The US should not entangle itself in the internal affairs of Egypt. Kerry and Obama are out of their depth.
Time to leave the ME, protect Israel only and fiercely and start drilling our own oil. Let China and Russia and Europe deal with Islam. We've got plenty oil oil and the tech to make it safe. Islam destroys everything.
Heads up, things could get totally out of control...
Has Lurch worked out a surrender agreement for the Egyptian Army yet?
Pray for America to Wake UP
Next to last excuse for Lurch and BamBam: "This was a phony scandal."
If things really go south, the carnival Barker is practicing his straight face with this:
"A sharknado out of the Nile river is responsible for ..."
Egis not an ally!! Just another money grubbing Muslim country.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry spoke to two senior members of Egypt's army-installed interim cabinet, expressing his "deep concern."
That was a pretty manly thing for a guy like him to do.
They'll probably toss Lurch pretty soon and ask for an American ambassador that's actually an American.
Yeah, but Kerry knows all about insurgencies..after all he got medals in VietNam and you know, he was in Cambodia.
All of us may want to watch this situation closely. Could be barack supporters come 2016 when the zer0 is removed after they want zer0 to stay and it does not happen for them.
Go Army! Yaaaay!
The media has neatly disassociated the Commie Obama from the mess he and the grotesque Hillary Clinton made in the Middle East, I see.
Have no problem with that. But that isn't protecting Biblical Israel as God so commanded.
Mursi is probably busy getting his two sons back to the USA where they were born and where they would enjoy the benefits of USA citizenship because they were born in the USA. By being born in the USA they could even ,according to some people, run for POTUSA and be elected with the help of the growing population of Muslims in the USA.
Pull back from the brink? I say kill all the Mohammadan muthurs!
We need to start minding our own business.
Well this tells us than even Obama can see that his beloved Muslim Brotherhood is getting beat up by the Egyptian Military. Time to play the F-16 Card. Time to save the Caliphate.
Obama - always on the wrong side of every issue, every policy.
On the Live Egypt thread, news etc reports stated that under Morsi there were electric blackouts, lines of scarce bread, and gasoline shortages.
After Morsi was kicked out, none of the above.
Turns out Morsi was illegally funneling the above commodities to Gaza and lining his pocketses.
The Live thread is where the real news is, obviously 0thugga and his cabal are disturbed since promoting radical Islam is one of their main goals.
Egypt: US Bloodshed Fears As Scores Killed
U.S. to delay F-16 delivery to Egypt
Egypt's Mursi likely to go to same prison as Mubarak: minister
Egypt violence sparks global condemnation
[not really, just the Muzzie Bro-hood and fellow jackoffs]
I'll second that emotion. A good start might be subbing Chicago for Egypt in the headline.
How 'bout that "democracy!" Way to go Hillary!
Kerry, you dumb ass, the protests are NOT peaceful.
What you said.
Yep, and he just happened to be sailing across the "deep" when he said it! ;)
Thanks for posting.
Hasn't the ME been on the brink ever since Islam took over?
WTH is Bambi talking about?
>Let China and Russia and Europe deal with Islam.<
Sheesh, you don't seem to understand.
With the large number of muslims already in the country, we SHALL HAVE TO deal with them sooner or later.
One cannot live with a poisonous snake in the same house, indefinitely.
Lurch...that is funny.
If we had any kind of honest media in this country, Obama would have been forced out of office by now.
But we don't.
We certainly need to mind our own business.
Certainly we pulled back from the brink in the Gulf war, and that was a sorry mistake.
Egypt has this issue in its midst and needs to deal with it now.
Crushing the Muslim Brotherhood IS pulling back from the brink.
The utterly disgraced USA needs to STFU. Egypt will have to sort out their civil war that Obama gifted them with. The blood running in the streets is just a bump in the road to Obama's Muslim Brotherhood plans.
Radical muslims allied with Hamas & Iran are getting killed. Toasts all around!
Well said.
He's been in prison — no house arrest, no electronic tether, the armed forces have his sorry ass wrapped up. If there's any further progress by the Islamofascists, he'll be shot on TV and his carcass thrown in the Nile.
" U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry spoke to two senior members of Egypt's army-installed interim cabinet, expressing his "deep concern."
John Kerry-Heinz is going to have to get with Mrs. Slick Willy and learn how to write those "stern letters of concern" which with the right moon phase and climate conditions might strike the fear of Allah the Goat God into their black hearts. That's the way Slick Willy's sometimes squeeze did it.

Sometimes you think you understand a company and appreciate its business model only to go back a few years later and find the analysis got buried in details and was completely useless.
I did that with Core Labs and failed to buy because I missed the point. Hope to get it better this time through. Still not a buyer, but at least I know why.
Core Labs is in the oil services sector. Core has a moat of sorts at least for now. The moat is the highly technical high margin reservoir analysis they go after and their workforce of 1300 scientists that tend to stay with the company –turnover of 2%.
They have some competition in certain areas of the business. In products, Schlumberger sells instruments that directly compete. But in providing comprehensive high quality core sampling, well diagnostics and project planning, there is little direct competition.
CLB enhances and manages oil and gas reservoirs. The company can tell a client about the three fluids in a reservoir (oil, gas, water) and about the characteristics of the rock and whether it will let the fluids flow. This business falls under reservoir description and part of the service is analysis of core samples; where they get their name. Some of the business is done out of the field and at refineries providing analysis of octane in gasoline and blended gas.
Production enhancement includes perforating products that explode downhole and fracture rock to let fluids flow. Core also designs completions of wells to ensure maximum recovery of fluids. They are good at fracture design and procedure, production flow and allocation and cementing and casing depth control.
Reservoir management integrates the information from the other two segments and designs game plans to maximize production.
Case study from the Q3 CC
A client was trying a certain type of completion technology and needed details on how the fracturing was most efficiently and economically produced over the length of the well:
Rob MacKenzie - FBR Capital Markets
So effectively, as the clients – as operators try these more, they spend the money and time on analyzing it so it's a net positive for you guys?
David Demshur
That is correct. We've got a good example in the Granite Wash, where it was a 21-stage completion. They used the sliding sleeve technology. And after they completed their stimulation, the well flowed exactly what they thought it would flow, so they thought they had a very successful completion and stimulation of all 21 stages. What our tracers did show that the first nine stages did not take any stimulant and all the production was essentially from the last 12 stages. So that client, in the next drilling operation, used plug and perf, and made their best well that they ever have.
So it's on a case-by-case basis, Rob, but it is providing additional fracture diagnostics services to the company.
The company is always looking for new technology. CLB is now in the process of developing reservoir saturation technology that identifies reservoirs that absorb water allowing production of more hydrocarbons This came out of observations while working with Petrohawk. The higher flow rates for wells were creating less permeable rock. Ultimately they found by slowing and even choking the wells led to higher total recovery. Those observations will be turned into advanced capabilities to look at the porosity of a well and its relationship to flow.
Key tenets of Core's business philosophy
High returns on capital
First and foremost they will not take on business that is low margin and doesn't meet their threshold return on investment. When they design their business segments and take jobs, it's always the high return work they are looking for. For that reason they have refused to do on well-site analysis of samples like mud logging. Mud logging is a relatively low margin analysis of sediment and rock that is recovered as the well is drilled. Their business in core sampling, especially in deepwater reservoirs, is much higher margin with less competition. The reservoirs are difficult and complex and require certain expertise.
David Demshur
Are other individuals and companies doing lower-tech, lower-margin projects? For sure, no question about that. But the market that we address, we have not seen any serious competition enter, nor do we think we will see any serious competition enter in the near future.
Returns to shareholders
In addition to maximizing returns on invested capital, the company is dedicated to returning value to shareholders. CLB has been buying back shares and paying a small dividend. There were 53.8 million shares (adjusted for split in 2010) in 2006 and that was whittled down to 47.5 million shares in Q3 2012. Options abuse is non-existent. However, the company issues a large number of restricted shares. In 2011, 177,255 restricted shares vested compared to just 42,000 options. The options are performance-based compensation for management and restricted shares are given to employees to help retain them. The overall employee turnover rate is 6% and turnover for the scientists is only 2%.
Repurchases have been less effective over 2010-2011. Dilution in 2010 was due to settling 2006 warrants adding 706,395 shares in addition to restricted shares. Stock buyback slowed in 2011 to only 10,000 shares and $1 million spent at $110 per share.
For the past three years, share repurchases totaled 1.2 million shares vs. 116,000 in options exercised. Total paid was $125 million. In 2012, share counts are down to 47.5 million and the repurchase strategy has been more effective.
Core Labs also pays a dividend that has been increasing for three years. The yield is 1.1% and the payout ratio is only 25%. I would expect per management comments a series of dividend increases going forward.
Free cash flow
Free cash flow is the third key business principle guiding Core Labs. They are careful with capital spending and demand high returns. They will not spend unless the returns meet their threshold at around 30% to 40%. That goes for both capital expenditures and acquisitions. In the first nine months of 2012, $1 out of every $6 in revenue was converted to free cash flow. Around 2/3 of capital spending goes for growth and the rest is maintenance.
While ROIC is high, free cash flow yield is low at 3.3% compared to leaders in other sectors, but holds its own against two big companies in oil services -- Halliburton is in negative numbers for free cash flow and SLB has a free cash flow yield of 4.4%.
From the Q3 CC:
Based on the most recent calculations available from Bloomberg, Core's return on invested capital was the highest of any company in the oil field services comp group listed by Bloomberg Financial. And also, Core's weighted average cost of capital was the lowest.
The weight average cost of capital is 8.8% and the spread between WACC and ROIC is widely positive.
Capital spending is two-thirds growth and their careful approach to spending has not sacrificed growth or margins. The company's policy to stay away from low margin work and stick to their high margin circle of competence has kept margins remarkably stable and growth high.
Business has been slowing in 2012 and September 2012 growth is considerably less than September 2011.
Q3 2012 proforma operating growth 6.1%
Q3 2012 proforma net growth 11.6%
The natural gas business continues to disappear and CLB has been pursuing oil related business. They expect gas rig activity will continue to wane into the fourth quarter. Core's revenue mix is closer to 80% oil and 20% natural gas, a shift from the previous 70%-30% earlier this year and in past years.
In 2012 worldwide activity in oil and gas was essentially flat. Despite decreasing rig counts and the transition to oil from gas, Core managed revenue growth. In 2009, even they could not pull off positive earnings growth and if we head down that path again and see global recessions, 2013 will look a lot worse than just the slower Q3 2012. Core expects growth to continue into 2013.
Q3 combined revenue increased 6.1% year over year. Business is seasonal and year-over-year is the only way comps make sense. The reservoir description segment with exposure to Canadian oil sands revenue comes in primarily in Q2. Reservoir description revenue increased 4% in Q3 2012 and 13% in Q3 2011. It's clear that 2012 growth is beginning to lag 2011 and 2013 could be even slower.
Production enhancement with only 4% growth is still mainly dependent on North American well completion and stimulation. The decrease in rig counts has slowed growth.
The slowing revenue growth is seen across the two largest business (description and production) segments and in consolidated revenue growth.
The other way to divide the company is into services provided and products sold. Services revenue was $174.5 million -- up 9% and product sales for the quarter were at $71 million and essentially flat year-over-year.
The hot spots for business
Core is predicting future growth will be deep sea and that includes Brazil, Mexico and the Gulf of Mexico. The coast of Africa is developing rapidly. Shale and fracking in both oil and gas is important and they do offer reservoir description and management techniques that improve production significantly from these sometimes difficult wells.
A few recent projects
The company is analyzing core from a deepwater well in Namibia for Petrobras. Petrobras continues to be Core's largest national oil company client worldwide.
The first shale Core cut in Australia is being analyzed in the field for gas absorption with full laboratory analysis of the rock to follow in Q4. Core was recently requested by a major client to increase technical capability and processing capacity in Australia for several large potential shale developments.
Core Lab Malaysia is working on core and geological samples from a high pressure, high temperature deepwater well in the Malay basin. Asia Pacific continues to be a revenue growth region for the company.
Business in deepwater has been so brisk the company is expanding facilities in Houston. To meet the increasing workload from primarily deepwater Gulf of Mexico and international deepwater environments, they added 105,000 square feet, i

Solutions for Chapter 16
The most extreme threats to the food industry are disease and contamination. There is an urgent need to improve and detect bioterrorist agents in food products. Bioterrorism is defined as using natural agents in attacks of agriculture and crops or directly on people. Disease and biological disasters in this area can cause health problems, economic losses, and sever panic amongst citizens. The attack on the food supply can take place at different points between a farm and human consumption. This could occur at the farm, processing plant, retail store, or the restaurant.

Attention, municipal bond investors. You may love tax-free bonds, but Cumberland Advisors, of Vineland, N.J., is veering away from the troubled muni bonds of Puerto Rico - even though some in the hedge-fund community are embracing this high-risk trade.
"We certainly hope that the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico finds a way to avoid any defaults. We are not cheering for the demise of this beautiful island," Cumberland noted.
But 45 percent of its 3.5 million inhabitants live below the poverty line, Cumberland said, and the debt-to-gross-national-product ratio is estimated at 140 percent, if the pension liability is included.

Hennessy Vows To Legally Enforce DeGale Contract
London - Hennessy Sports confirms that at the end of last week James DeGale terminated his Promotional Rights Agreement with the company. The contract was due to run for several more years.
DeGale has been exclusively promoted by Hennessy Sports since September 2012 and in that time has successfully fought six times, all of his UK bouts having been broadcast under the "Hennessy Sports" banner live on Channel 5 including his successful challenge for the WBC Silver super middleweight title.
Following his run of successful bouts and under the promotional guidance of Hennessy Sports DeGale had recently been made mandatory challenger for the prestigious WBC world super middleweight title and had also been named in a final eliminator to become mandatory challenger for the prestigious IBF world super middleweight title, a path that would have led to a domestic super fight against the winner of Carl Froch and George Groves.
Mick Hennessy commented: "We are extremely surprised and disappointed that DeGale has terminated his long term contract with us. The agreement had several years to run and we had put him into an excellent position on the world super middleweight stage. Unfortunately the company has been given no alternative but to put the matter into the hands of its lawyers and we are currently considering our legal options against DeGale. We are also extremely concerned about the possible involvement of any other parties in DeGale's decision to terminate our contract and if necessary we will take the appropriate legal action against any other promoter, broadcaster or sanctioning body that is found to have been involved in this decision."
No further comment will be made by the company on this issue whilst it considers its options.

The raw materials used to make some of our most precious possessions are too often shrouded in secrecy. Gold, silver and precious gemstones can have a very murky past (think 'Blood Diamonds' and slave-labour mines), which is why provenance is all the more important here than in any other areas of the luxury goods market.
I work best when I can collaborate with artists and smaller groups of people as my mentality is far more family-orientated than corporate. Working with friends and people that I know and love is really rewarding. Having that familiarity is really important because it brings the whole brand together.
Our political leaders won't act unless public pressure forces them to do so and the trade in blood diamonds will continue unchecked and unseen. Consumers, especially those in the fashion, film and media industry who are used to promote the industry, must questions the ethical provenance of the jewellery they wear and not allow the industry to fob them off with bogus claims that diamonds are ethically sourced and conflict-free.
