Ok guys here is the deal. I am in really good shape and have low body fat. Around 8-10%. I am 6ft 190lbs. I want to slim down and burn some fat off my love handles and lower back. It seems all my fat is there. I damn near have an 8pack but i still have fairly large love handles. Now the thing is i there is not that much fat on them but there is a bulky muscle that makes them stick out. Are my hips too wide or too much muscle and fat??? Do you guys know any excercises to help lean out love handles and lower back and burn some fat? Anything to avoid?
Thanks for all the help guys!!

Help !! Love handles and lower back
Lowering your body fat is the only way. Running helps to evenly distribute fat stores and consequently is the prime stomach/love handle removing exercise.
Also try building muscle in those stomach regions to give it protection-the bigger/denser the muscle, the more calories it has t burn to survive. An effective love handle exercise is side bends....
1. grab a db in one hand and stand a little more than shoulder width apart
2. keepin your legs straight, lean toward the side holding the db to lower it
to knee level
3. then come back up, keeping legs straight and arm straight
4. Repeat, bend sideways to knee, come back up(a little past straight),

I wouldn't recommend doing DB side bends with much weight, using heavy weight will probably make your love handles look bigger because the muscle underneath will get larger. You could also naturally have large muscles under there to give you the appearance of having larger love handles than you do.
Even if you are at a low bf % upping the cardio might not hurt. Not sure on how much cardio you do but most likely doing more will get rid of the extra fat storage area's, because on males the love handles is usually the last area that gets lean.

Some more experienced bodybuilders can correct me on this if I am wrong but I am sure I once read that there are bodybuilders out there who dont train obliques for the reason that they dont want to have 'handles' or a thicker waist at all.
Personally i prefer to work the whole core but it is something you could consider. It maybe in your effort to get rid of the love handles you are doing a lot of exercises for this region, increasing the muscle mass and making them look bigger.
You could lay off them for a while whilst pumping up the cardio and tightening up your diet.Im on a Missison to Get a Six Pack for Summer

The size of the waist is more to do with the amount of intra-abdominal fat, and the tension in the transversus abdominis muscle(TVA) than with the size of the muscles. It isn't like the upper arm, where the bone size is small compared to the triceps, biceps, and brachialis.
In the case of the abs, the muscular bulk is only a thin ring around the circumference of the midriff. Since having really strong abs is essential for stabilization of the spine in everyday activities, and particularly in any squats, deads, rows, cleans, presses, and even heavy curls, leaving any section of the midsection weak is just plain dumb.
External fat is not dangerous, but it is nice to look lean. More cardio as part of warmups and cooldowns to your weights might help.
But the best way to lean out is to clean up the diet while still maintaining intensive weight training. Soda, sugar, high refined carb, "low fat" high sugar concoctions are the biggest sin against a lean body any bodybuilder can commit.
Neglecting low back is an even bigger sin.

Thanks for all the help guys. I definitely have been lazy as far as lower back workouts go. Any particular lower back excercises that are really good?
I will try some low weight/high rep excercises for my love handles. I do about 30-35 min cardio 4 times a week. I'm going to try up one more cardio session weekly.

Report: Marlins fire manager Fredi Gonzalez
In a rather surprising development, the Marlins have fired manager Fredi Gonzalez according to the Palm Beach Post.
Here is part of owner Jeffrey Loria's statement regarding the firing:
It is never easy to make a change in managers. Fredi has been with our Club for four years. We have become close, and I am extremely fond of Fredi. I, along with all our fans, am grateful for Fredi's contributions. At the same time, we can't let personal feelings get in the way of taking steps that we believe are necessary to improve our ballclub.
Decisions on individual personnel cannot supercede our overall goal, which is to win. We believe we can do better and be better. We owe it to our fans to put this team in the best possible position to win. Everyone knows how I feel about winning. That's the reason we're making this change.
We still have a very long season in front of us, and plenty of time to turn things around. Everyone – our fans, our team, our organization, and myself – wants us to win. That continues to be, and will always be, the goal.
Along with Gonzalez, bench coach Carlos Tosca and hitting coach Jim Presley were both let go as well. Triple-A New Orleans skipper Edwin Rodriguez was named interim manager, while Brandon Hyde was named interim bench coach and John Mallee was named interim hitting coach.
I couldn't even begin to speculate why Gonzalez was fired (the Marlins are only two games under .500, although are 7.5 games back in the NL East), but I can assure you that we don't know the full story yet. He was named The Sporting News Manager of the Year in 2008 and with a win over the Cardinals earlier this year, he won more games than any other skipper in Marlins history. Something doesn't add up here.
One club that could be interested in Gonzalez's services is the Braves, with whom he spent a couple of years with before being named manager of the Marlins in 2006. Bobby Cox is retiring at the end of the season and Gonzalez might be the perfect fit.
Either way, Gonzalez will have suitors. He earned a lot of respect for the way he handled an incident with Hanley Ramirez earlier in the season and I'm sure he'll be back on someone's bench next season.

Bulgaria's Black Sea resorts have been popular holiday haunts for more than a century, though it wasn't until the 1960s that the coastline was developed for mass tourism, with Communist party officials from across the former Eastern Bloc descending on the beaches each year for a spot of socialist fun in the sun. Since then, the resorts have mushroomed, growing increasingly sophisticated as the prototype mega-complexes have been followed by holiday villages. With fine weather practically guaranteed, the selling of the coast has been a success in economic terms, but with the exception of ancient Sozopol and touristy Nesebar, there's little to please the eye. Of the coast's two cities – Varna and Burgas – the former is by far preferable as a base for getting to the less-developed spots.

A spry German shepherd named Barry hops onto a Charleston Area Regional Transportation Authority bus and walks the aisle, stopping at a seat near the back, sitting on his haunches and looking up at his handler.
Barry swiftly smells the simulated explosive his human partner cannot detect. So federal Transportation Security Administration inspector Wayne Hahn rewards the dog with a red rubber toy.
For months now Barry and two other bomb-sniffing canines with extensive training have learned their way around Charleston's airport, shipping docks and bus and train stations. As one of only six "multi-modal" TSA teams in the country, they also travel to transportation centers around the state.
The dogs and their handlers showed off their skills at a demonstration Thursday at the CARTA headquarters on Leeds Avenue. CARTA's transit administrator, Christine Wilkinson, said the canines' role means "being prepared for what we hope won't happen."
"We, from time to time, have had threats that we need to be responding to," Wilkinson said. "Their familiarity will make that better."
Two German shepherds and one Belgian shepherd paired with three local transportation officers during a 10-week training program at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas, in late 2009. The program, officially known as the National Explosives Detection Canine Team, began a few years ago at large metropolitan airports in such cities as New York, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., and Atlanta.
TSA local security director Debra Engel said Charleston joined those big cities, in part, because it includes the state's largest airport and a prominent national port. TSA certified the three local teams in May, and the agency will retest each team annually.
TSA carefully selected the three officers who not only work with the dogs but also care for them at home. One handler, Bobby Jones, previously served as a military agitator, taking bites as part of his job, and also as a kennel technician at a prison.
"Telling people they're not allowed to pet the dog -- that's the hardest part," Jones said.
Another handler, Kimberley Barnett, worked for the SPCA in Berkeley County before learning she was allergic to cats and had to quit. She applied for a TSA job when the federal government took over security at Charleston International Airport in 2002 and now partners with a German shepherd named Brit.
"Thank goodness we've only found the things we've hidden," Barnett said. "I could go my whole life without ever finding a real item and be happy about that."
As for Barry's handler, Hahn
lives in rural Hollywood with a menagerie of animals, the least exotic of which is his bomb-sniffing dog. Though he sold his zebra, Hahn's small farm still includes parrots, tortoises and a camel named Corona whose back stands more than 7 feet high.
Barry lives in the house with Hahn's poodle, though Hahn keeps his work partner away from his two larger dogs: an English Mastiff and a Rottweiler. And Barry sometimes chases the cats.
Explosive-detection aside, Hahn says, "He's still a dog."

Two detained for prescription fraud
Two people detained for prescription fraud this weekend reportedly had a variety of other drug paraphernalia in their vehicle, according to a report by the Aiken Department of Public Safety.
The suspects were being questioned in the parking lot of a drug store on Richland Avenue on Friday when officers noticed a glass pipe and a syringe filled with a brown liquid substance in plain view inside the vehicle, according to the report.
While searching one of the suspects, officers found two small plastic bags containing a white crystal-like substance, a pen-like flashlight containing a clear plastic straw and a metal container containing two pills, according to the report. Inside the vehicle, officers found more pills, a second syringe with a brown substance in it and a spoon that appeared to be burned. Several syringes were also found on the floor board and in the glove compartment.
Officers also found a small butane burner, another spoon appearing to be burned and a brown cigar containing a green leafy substance, according to the report.
Cops: shoplifter was intoxicated, had pot
A 43-year-old Aiken man who was reportedly intoxicated while shoplifting from Walmart was also in possession of marijuana, according to a Public Safety report.
The suspect entered the Walmart on Whiskey Road around 1 a.m. Monday, walked around the store and selected two jackets and a sweatshirt, according to the report. He put the sweatshirt on and tried to leave the store through a locked door without paying for the items.
The suspect was reportedly intoxicated and could not stand without assistance. During a search of the man, officers found a small bag of marijuana and a marijuana pipe.
The man was charged with shoplifting, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Warrenville tree house set on fire
A Warrenville woman told authorities someone set fire to her childrens tree house, according to the Aiken County Sheriffs Office.
The fire happened around 3:20 p.m. Saturday on Myrtle Street. The victim said she was in her backyard hanging laundry up to dry when she heard someone in the tree house, according to the report.
She told officers she thought it was one of her kids and returned to her home, and that within a couple of minutes she saw the tree house consumed in flames.
The woman was able to extinguish the fire with a garden hose and did not call 911 until after she got it put out, according to the report.

Because of past injuries such as rejection from friends or loved ones, many people struggle with self-confidence. It's easy for people to get caught up in …
- Disliking their appearance
- Imagining that others think poorly of them
- Doubting the value of their work or contributions
- Feeling insignificant
But when a negative pattern of thought begins, it is tempting to give in to it, which can result in a cycle of destructive behavior.
In the Old Testament, the Bible tells about a time when God's people, the Jewish people, forgot that they were precious to God and set-apart from the world. They had neglected God's Word and surrendered to sinful ways. They lost confidence.
At this time, God raised up a man named Ezra, a scribe and priest who "had devoted himself to the study and observance of the Law of the Lord, and to teaching its decrees and laws in Israel" (Ezra 7:10, NIV).
Because Ezra studied God's Word, he was able to lead a spiritual awakening in Israel where the community was reformed to a right understanding of their relationship with God and their purpose as God's people. The people confessed their sins and turned from their habits to follow the ways that God had created for their good.
In the same way, God's Word serves as the most important guide for self-confidence today. The Bible says that with God's help, people are capable of rising above the norm. But it doesn't stop with that; God's Word commands believers to take action.
The Bible says, "Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is–his good, pleasing and perfect will" (Romans 12:2)
Through faith, commitment, surrender and obedience to God's Word, anyone can understand his or her identity as a person precious to God.
People with healthy self-confidence are more likely to …
- Take risks
- Make good decisions
- Live life to its fullest
- Solve problems effectively
- Reach out to others
So how can you "be transformed by the renewing of your mind?" The Bible presents some clear answers:
Believe what you read in the Bible, namely, that Jesus Christ is God's Son who came to call people to repentance and life and to follow Him as the way to eternal salvation.
Jesus said, "I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly" (John 10:10).
Believe that Jesus Christ died for you on the cross and rose from the grave. Receive God's gift of the Holy Spirit for all who believe. Through prayer, invite the Holy Spirit to come in to your life and be your Counselor, Guide, and Friend.
The Bible says, "If you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved" (Romans 10:9).
Forget the past. The Bible says, "Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past" (Isaiah 43:18).
Through prayer, ask God to help you move forward.
The Bible says, "Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus" (Romans 8:1).
Trust that God will do what His Word promises.
When the father of an ailing boy asked Jesus to help him, he asked with some hesitation, as though he did not fully trust that Jesus could heal the boy. Jesus challenged him to believe and to trust, and he healed the man's son.
Jesus said to him, "Everything is possible for him who believes" (Mark 9:23).
Restore your understanding of who you are in Christ.
Jesus said to his disciples, "I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you" (John 15:15).
If you believe in the claims of Jesus Christ and have asked Him to be the Lord of your life, then you are God's friend!
You are created in the image of God and are a unique and wonderful creation.
The Psalmist rejoiced in knowing his true identity: "For You created my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made" (Psalm 139).
Surrender the details of your life to God, knowing that the Holy Spirit is your guide.
The Bible says, "The Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express" (Romans 8:26).
Challenge yourself to memorize scripture, and commit to read the Bible daily. It will remind you that you are a fearless child of God:
"For the LORD will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being snared" (Proverbs 3:26).
"God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble" (Psalm 46:1).
Serve others with God's own love. When you respect others as valuable people too, it encourages everyone.
Jesus said, "By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another" (John 13:35).
Jesus taught people to see their own worth, as well as the worth of others, in the eyes of God.
Jesus said, "Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows" (Luke 12:6-7).

Support PC Perspective with Amazon Affiliate Codes!
Subject: Editorial | November 25, 2013 - 02:05 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: pcper, amazon
UPDATE: With biggest buying season of them all creeping up on this week here in the US, I just thought I would offer up another reminder about those readers that would like to support PC Perspective while they happen to be shopping on Amazon.com. You can either install one of the quick and easy extensions listed below or, if you would rather take the passive approach, click the link below and shop away!
Recently a couple of PC Perspective fans have asked about an Amazon Affiliate code they could use for their normal Amazon purchases to help support the team here. Previously, we rarely used one of these codes so I setup a new one specifically for our use. As it turns out the small commission we receive for Amazon purchases is quite a bit LARGER than any commission we get for our various links to Newegg.com for example.
Our Amazon code is: pcper04-20
The easiest way to integrate it into your shopping, rather than remembering to add it to your URL each time, is to use a couple of plugins for Chrome or FireFox. For Chrome, the plugin is called Amazon Affiliate Link and is super easy to install.
Install the plugin.
Right click the new icon in the upper right corner.
Set the affiliate IDs to pcper04-20
For FireFox, the plugin is called AffiliateFox.
Add the plugin to FireFox.
Click the okay to install it.
Go to your Add-on settings and add pcper04-20 as each code.
That's it, you're done and you're supporting PC Perspective! We thank you tremendously for it and promise to do our best to continue to bring you the best possible content!!
420 in dis... just kidding.
Sadly it doesn't work for me, the affiliate code. I'm based in Denmark, and use the Amazon.co.uk site, but i get an error when try to submit it.
Tried the German Amazon, doesn't work there either. So maybe i'm just not able do use it, because my IP is based in Denmark. Kind of annoying when i often use Amazon to order stuff.
Well, thanks for trying!
Would going directly using this link work?: http://www.amazon.co.uk/?tag=pcper04-20
That is supposed to work, yup!
installed plugin and changed my UK and US amazon to pcper04-20
all is right with the world. and man being stationed overseas, I buy a LOT of stuff with amazon.com and .co.uk
Awesome, thanks!
Any idea how this works if have previously visited another site which uses their own affiliate link?
No idea actually.
I almost always buy from my phone or tablet with the Amazon app. Any way to incorporate the affiliate id through the app? Android BTW.
Interesting question, I'll look into it...
I would think if you click through the links on pcper.com, and it opens the Amazon app, then you can browse to anything else from there.
installed plugin, I get lots more value from this site than I ever did from tv.
Thank you for your continued support everyone!
I buy a ton of stuff off Amazon, so I'll get this set up when I get home! Any other affiliate links I can use to help you guys out?
I'm just about to build a HTPC/file server. Already purchased an i5-4670K, Asus Z87I-Deluxe and a Corsair H90. I've installed the plugin so when I make the next round of purchases they should all work with the code. Do I need to re-add items to my cart?
I still need to purchase a Seasonic 520 Power Supply SS-520FL, Samsung 840 Pro Series 256 GB, 4 x Western Digital 4 TB Reds and a Fractal Design Node 304 case.
I'm thinking MSI R9 280X GFX card will be the winner for the system, trying to get it as silent as possible.
Anyway I should move this to the forum, I just wanted to say thanks for all the hard work. Love listening to TWICH here on a saturday morning, makes the drive the work bearable. The least I could do is use the affiliate code.
You might have to re-add them to your cart, I'm not sure. But we appreciate the support, thank you!!
Tested the plugin out, it doesn't cause any noticeable change in browser performance, so overall, it is pretty good, added it, hopes it contues to work well.
PS does anyone know if these codes still work if you purchase something using an amazon gift certificate?
Glad it's worked out!
Not sure on the gift card question though...?
Does this count for everything Amazon sells or just tech/PC hardware stuff? Hoping it's everything.
I believe it works for all of what is on Amazon.
I am happy to have an easy way to be able to support my favorite site PC perspective. I hope their will be even more ways in the future to support PC Perspective website that I get so much from.
Installed the extension and put in the code. I do most of my shopping on amazon, so i hope it helps.
Your site is great, your articles are brilliant, and your comment system lets me comment with a jonny-on-the-spot gibberish email address with no registration or login required.
I would install the extension for any one of those reasons alone, but all three?? You spoil me. Thanks for everything.
As a fellow blogger, it's sure was a relief that many states, like Connecticut, worked things out with Amazon this year, to allow affiliates in, at the cost of now paying sales tax.
By the way, I have a video up of the short and simple process for installing and configuring the Chrome extension over here:
but today, realized they've removed it from the chrome web store:
Another thing I see a lot of bloggers do is an easy to type redirect from /amazon to their affiliate link, such as:
Great site Ryan, and wonderful podcasts that I enjoy regularly, while blogging and snowblowing of course!
Thanks for the code - use Amazon quite a bit and if you benefit from it, so much the better.
Hey Ryan!
I recently noticed that "Amazon Affiliate Link" Chrome extension has disappeared, but I found a decent replacement:

Regardlessly, good job. Nice, Soothing, Relaxing piece. It could have used a spot in the middle with like, some real adventerous pickup or something, provided it was expanded upon. It needs to be a little longer.
I like the melody, and how it doesn't really repeat. Great job. 5/5, 10/10, downloaded.
And it loops well!

SALEM - Members of the Rules & Ordinances Committee of city council have decided to take a more positive approach to handling graffiti, rather than punishing property owners who don't remove it.
Committee member Councilwoman Cyndi Baronzzi Dickey described it as more of a victim assistance program they would like to see established rather than the city issuing orders, perhaps with a community group offering to help a property owner remove graffiti if they want it removed.
"Let's try prevention first," she said.
The committee met Tuesday night for a work session with city Law Director Brooke Zellers to go over some of the previously discussed ideas for an ordinance. The committee had met before about the issue, with talk about punishing offenders, addressing possession of graffiti implements, such as spraypaint, and forcing property owners to remove graffiti in a set time period.
According to Zellers, laws are already in place to address both the offenders and the implements. As committee member Councilman Clyde Brown pointed out, probable cause would be necessary to stop someone in possession of a can of spraypaint and Zellers agreed it would be difficult to prove someone's intent.
Committee Chairman Councilman Rick Drummond said the real key is getting the graffiti removed quickly so the people doing the graffiti become disinterested and stop doing it. Some of the discussion was on the use of community service workers to remove graffiti or help with cleanup and the request the use of cleanup as a term of probation for someone convicted of graffiti-type offenses.
Zellers said getting groups involved to assist in the removal of graffiti or community service workers were good ideas, but he said that creates an issue of how to get on the private property to remove the graffiti. He said he received a lot of calls regarding the idea of forcing the responsibility on the property owners and making them victims twice.
He said aesthetic issues don't hold up constitutionally because they don't pass the test for the health, safety and welfare of the citizens. He said one person's view of graffiti could be bad while someone else views it as art. He said defining what's morally bad or what's improper also creates a problem.
Drummond previously used the example of high grass and the city's enforcement of lawn care and compared it to graffiti removal, but Zellers said it's not the same because there's case law to support the high grass law because of the threat to health from rodents, etc.
Dickey said she didn't think the city should be the one removing the graffiti from properties, saying "that's going a step too far."
Drummond suggested some type of reward for property owners who remove graffiti without being told and she said maybe a good citizen award, not money as he suggested as a tax rebate.
Dickey also suggested involving the schools in a campaign against graffiti, with Zellers suggesting the police department's juvenile officer could talk to students.
The committee plans to set another meeting to get community input and for any community groups interested in taking the lead or assisting with cleanup projects to step forward. Zellers said he'll talk to the courts and prosecutor's office about community service requirements for cleanup. He also mentioned a waiver form property owners could sign allowing someone on their property to do the cleanup.

Not to mention, we saved a lot of money. We hired a taxi, in all ports, just outside of the cruise terminals and were never disappointed. One special note: in Barbados, we hired Carl's Tour and Taxi Service Tel: (246) 427-9702 or email firstname.lastname@example.com for a tour. After a great tour of the island for a fantastic price, Carl dropped us at the beach for a swim and snorkel, and came back to get us at a designated time, for one low price. I highly recommend Carl when you visit Barbados.

The only thing I love better than a good white Burgundy in summer is a good white Burgundy at nearly half-price.
That's why you should jump on this 2008 Rully from Louis Latour, marked-down for Pennsylvania's Chairman du Vin from $27 to $15.99.
The commune village of Rully is the northernmost appelation of the Côte Chalonnaise, just south of the more prestige vineyards of the cooler Côte-d'Or, but coveted by in-the-know drinkers for producing whites that overperform for the price.
Mega-négociant Louis Latour is not necessarily the best known Rully label, but Latour's 2008 vintage is nonetheless a live wire in the bottle, with floral notes on the nose, and steel-aged chardonnay grapes that have a green apple crispness followed by a balanced finish that reminds of nuts, vanilla and tingly mineral spice.

The Mets told Pelfrey yesterday morning that he would be their No. 5 starting pitcher as the 2008 season gets under way. That puts the 24-year-old right-hander, the team's No. 1 pick in the 2005 draft, on schedule to pitch Saturday against the Braves in Atlanta.
"This shows they believe in me," Pelfrey said. "And it's definitely a responsibility that I want and one I feel I can handle."
The team made the decision after consulting with Orlando Hernandez, who told manager Willie Randolph and GM Omar Minaya that he didn't think he was ready to pitch in major-league games after a spring training that saw him miss large chunks of time with foot problems. Hernandez will open the season on the disabled list and spend at least a couple more weeks in Florida rehabbing. When he's ready to pitch, the team hopes that Pelfrey will have given them a tough decision to make.
"We are hopeful that he grabs this opportunity," Minaya said. "Michael Pelfrey was one of our best pitchers in September last year. He grabbed that opportunity and won three games."
The most memorable of those was the Sept. 1 game against the Braves at Turner Field, when Pelfrey struck out seven and allowed one run on one hit and three walks in six innings. That was the start that showed the Mets the killer sinker and nasty slider they believe will make Pelfrey a good major-league pitcher.
"I've been given opportunities here," Pelfrey said. "Now it's on me to take advantage of it and perform."
As the Mets set their 25-man roster before yesterday's workout, there were a couple of surprises.
Right-hander Joe Smith was given the final spot in the bullpen over Brian Stokes, Ricardo Rincon and Nelson Figueroa. Stokes was designated for assignment while Rincon and Figueroa were reassigned to minor-league camp.
Also, Brady Clark was added to the roster as an extra outfielder. Fernando Tatis, who had seemed a favorite to win a bench spot because of his ability to play several different positions, was reassigned to minor-league camp.
"I think Willie just felt Clark gives him a little more comfort as far as how he's going to approach an at-bat," Minaya said. "Maybe work the count a little more, things like that."
Angel Pagan will be the starting left fielder and bat sixth today, behind Carlos Delgado and in front of Ryan Church.
Catcher Ramon Castro will begin the season on the disabled list, retroactive to March 21. Raul Casanova will be the backup catcher to Brian Schneider. Also beginning the season on the DL is reliever Duaner Sanchez (retroactive to March 27).

Members of the public got a chance to learn about the Grand Island School District's proposed $6.37 million transportation center at an afternoon informational session this week.
A handful of residents attended the Thursday meeting at Sidway Elementary School on Baseline Road, behind which the new center would be built, if voters approve the project in a Dec. 18 referendum.
Under the proposal, a 16,000-square-foot building would be erected for the buses and offices, and the present 65-year-old transportation center would be renovated, inside and out. It then would house the departments of maintenance and buildings and grounds, which would be relocated from Staley Road. And it would provide much-needed indoor storage for school district equipment and supplies.
That building, according to Joseph Giarrizzo, district finance director, is too small to accommodate the length and width of today's buses. That means doors to the maintenance bays remain open in cold and inclement weather, creating difficulties for mechanics.
The Board of Education selected the site as the best ecologically and economically over four others, acting on advice of its consultants, Cannon Design and Wendel Duchscherer.
Part of the project includes building a new ring road just for buses to the north of the school and its athletic fields. The road would loop around the rear of the property to reach the new center and bus parking areas. The state Education Department wants schools to separate bus traffic from passenger cars driven by staff, parents and visitors.
The ring road might include about a third of an acre of adjacent wetlands behind the school. The district is in the process of hiring a consultant that would do further environmental impact studies of that area and assist in getting approvals from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and other regulatory agencies as needed.
William K. Zografos, vice president of Cannon Design, architects on the project, said that the project design won't be finalized "until we go through the environmental impact."
Giarrizzo said the project has no impact on the tax levy. The state will reimburse the district 80.6 percent of the costs. And, if the voters approve, the district will utilize $1.13 million from an existing capital reserve fund for its share.
A video about the project is posted on the district's website at www.k12.ginet.org. Another information meeting on the project will be held at 6:30 p.m. Thursday,.

News Snack
Charlie Trotter, Ferran Adria, Chicago, Molecular Gastronomy, iPod nano in a conch shell. Isn't life just wonderful? The Night Chicago Ruled the (Foodie) World - TIME
Seriously now. The iPod in the conch shell was created by Heston Blumenthal. The conceit of the creation is the idea that listening to certain sounds while eating can enhance ones perception of the dish. The iPod that accompanied Heston Blumenthal's dish of various seafood ingredients (and yes, sigh, clam foam) is reported to have played the sounds of waves crashing on the beach. Forgetting for the moment that the idea that crashing waves can make seafood taste better is not exactly news (Everyone knows that seafood tastes better at the seashore.)
there is something about this dish that is worth remembering: it is a baby-step towards virtual reality dining.
Dining that is enhanced by information based technology for groups of customers is already in the dining room in the form of computer-controlled lighting and music. But it's going to become much more sophisticated and specifically targeted at individuals diners. Expect to see dining tables that display menu items at first in 2D, and then holographically. Forget iPods, targeted sound and olfactory beams will deliver specific sounds and smells for each course to each dinner.
Eventually, implanted nanomachines will upload information about how you are feeling and what you want to the kitchen. Then chefs, using nanobots and a bowl of chemicals, will create an ambiance, wait staff and food that will give you precisely what they think you would enjoy. But I wouldn't book a reservation too far in advance of that.

I would tend to think that Chefs do not see themselves as actors and are not in the 'entertainment industry' except if u include reality television which is a relatively new phenomenon and cannot yet be included in any 'the best of all time' television show list yet...chefs, cooks,food bloggers and authors, for the most part, I believe, consider themselves professionals who are what they do, rather than most other professionals, actors included, that don't equate what they do with who they are-no chef, as I have come to believe, ever refers to what they do as just a job without incorporating who they are: so when a list of best television shows pops up on the Times and no food network show is included, well it is probably considered among shows that air on fine living or hgtv which composite another entity other than plain old-fashioned television shows: drama, sit-com, comedy etc etc...comedy now that's something you never see in a "food show" - a chef that can actually laugh at her/himself! even a guest judge?!

Some of the first economic estimates of the costs of foodborne illness were provided by ERS. ERS researchers are currently updating and refining estimates of the costs of foodborne illness, along with details on the assumptions behind the estimates, and will release this information in an updated Foodborne Illness Cost Calculator.
ERS researchers conducted some of the earliest studies on the economic costs of foodborne illness and have since updated and expanded these analyses using improved estimation methods and better data. Each series of ERS estimates incorporated better information on disease incidence, more detailed data on the health consequences of foodborne illness, and advances in the economic methodologies for valuing health outcomes.
ERS published its first comprehensive cost estimates for 16 foodborne bacterial pathogens in 1989 (see Human Illness Costs of Foodborne Bacteria). These initial estimates reflected the limited information then available about the incidence of foodborne illness, and used cost-of-illness (COI) methodology to tally expenditures on medical care and lost productivity due to nonfatal illness and premature death.
In 1996, ERS updated the cost estimates for six bacterial pathogens (Campylobacter, Clostridium perfringens, Escherichia coli O157:H7, Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella, and Staphylococcus aureus) in a report, Bacterial Foodborne Disease: Medical Costs and productivity Losses and also estimated the cost of one foodborne parasite (toxoplasma gondii) in an article, "ERS Updates U.S. Foodborne Disease Costs for Seven Pathogens" . ERS continued to use the COI methodology for nonfatal illnesses, but adopted two different health valuation methodologies for premature deaths: the individualized human capital approach and the willingness-to-pay (WTP) approach.
ERS updated the cost estimates for four pathogens (Campylobacter, Salmonella, E. coli O157:H7, and Listeria monocytogenes) again in 2000, and also estimated the cost for E. coli non-O157:H7 (see "Food Safety Efforts Accelerate in the 1990's" .
The 2000 estimates were based on 1999 estimates of annual foodborne illnesses by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The COI methodology was used for nonfatal illnesses, and the WTP approach was used for premature deaths.
The Salmonella cost estimate was prepared in collaboration with CDC's FoodNet Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network, and used new sources of data on medical costs and productivity losses including FoodNet surveillance data and a large commercial medical claims database.
The cost estimate for E. coli O157:H7 (now termed STEC O157) was subsequently updated in collaboration with FoodNet in 2005, using FoodNet surveillance data and a case-control study of STEC O157 patients.
In 2003, ERS introduced the Foodborne Illness Cost Calculator, an interactive online version of the updated ERS cost estimates for selected foodborne pathogens. The Cost Calculator initially included the Salmonella cost estimate, and later added the STEC O157 estimate. The Cost Calculator provides detailed information about the assumptions underlying each estimate, and allows users to make alternative assumptions and re-estimate the costs. An updated version with additional pathogens of the Cost Calculator is in development.
ERS researchers have used two methodologies developed by economists for converting adverse health outcomes to a common unit of measurement:
These methodologies and three other approaches for evaluating the effects of policy on health and safety--cost-effectiveness analysis, risk-risk analysis, and health-health analysis--are reviewed in Assigning Values to Life: Comparing Methods for Valuing Health Risks.
The cost-of-illness (COI) approach tallies dollars spent on medical expenses and forgone earnings as a result of illnesses, accidents, or premature deaths. COI estimates have often served as a measure of the monetary benefits of government programs that promote health and reduce the number of premature deaths, illnesses, or injuries. In this kind of analysis, the costs that are avoided are considered to be a lower bound of the value of program benefits. ERS researchers have consistently used the COI approach for nonfatal illnesses, and prior to 1996, they also used this approach for premature deaths.
The willingness-to-pay (WTP) approach measures the resources that individuals are willing and able to give up for a reduction in the probability of encountering a hazard that will compromise their health. It assigns dollar values to life and health, and reflects individual preferences for risk reduction. ERS researchers began using the WTP approach in 1996 for premature deaths.
For the 2000 cost estimates, ERS researchers updated the original 1990 estimate of the value of a statistical life for inflation, and then adjusted this value for age at death. Under this approach, the value of a statistical life is treated as if it were an annuity paid over the average U.S. lifespan at an interest rate of 3 percent. For example, in the updated STEC O157 cost estimate, the estimated value of a statistical life in 2001 dollars varies from $9.0 million at birth to $1.8 million at age 85.
ERS has maintained an online Foodborne Illness Cost Calculator since 2003; however, this tool is currently unavailable while ERS revises its estimates of the cost of foodborne illness.
The modified ERS approach has been described in several publications:

Where is Casey Kasem?
The daughter of the legendary radio host says her father disappeared May 7, a day after she visited him in a care facility. Kerri Kasem is now preparing to file a missing persons report, her rep tells PEOPLE.
The report will allow the FBI and local police agencies to get involved in the search for Kasem, 82, who suffers from advanced Parkinson's disease and can no longer speak. A judge also has ordered an investigation into Kasem's whereabouts.
Kerri Kasem alleges that her stepmother, Casey's wife Jean Kasem, recently moved Casey, possibly to an Indian reservation in Canada or Washington State.
"We don't know where he is. Nobody knows," says Kerri's rep, Danny Deraney.
Jean's attorney said at a hearing Monday that the former American Top 40 host had been moved out of the country, but didn't know exactly where.
The judge appointed Kerri Kasem her father's temporary caretaker, the latest move in an ugly dispute between the host's children and Jean.

Create a fun valentine for someone you love from cardstock and Kreinik iron-ons.
- White cardstock & Be My Valentine text (Tuesday font)
- Red card (red texture from Paper Reflections)
- Kreinik Iron-On #16 Braid 6130 Red
- Kreinik Teflon press cloth Iron or mini iron
- Emotion paper design by Michelle Anderson (Provo Craft)
- Gold heart (scrap pack striped gold paper)
Basic Iron-on thread how-to: Turn your iron onto the highest heat setting and let it heat thoroughly. Lay the thread at your starting point, cover with the Teflon press cloth, and press for several seconds until the thread adheres. Continue in this manner, working the design in sections.
- Print your text on a sheet of white cardstock. A simple font is easiest to follow; we have used one called "Tuesday".
- Using your iron-on thread, embellish each letter by going over the text. (Be careful not to let your iron brush the ink as this can cause it to smear.)
- When you are done embellishing your message, cut out the words. By making your cuts at an angle, instead of perfect rectangles, you create a fun, funky effect. Cut a small rectangle of the "Emotion" paper.
- You are ready to assemble your card. Attach the "Emotion" paper to your card first. Arrange your words on top, and attach them as well. Finally, attach your heart. Your card is done!
Kreinik threads available through needlework stores or www.kreinik.com.

Dang - was it raining when you were in Seattle? Because it's gorgeous now! And nope, it's not 'legal' to go 75mph - you get a demerit in the form of a sizable ticket. For every 5 miles over the posted limit you can get hit w/ 50 to 100USD.
Though I suspect they'd let you and hubby go w/o a ticket after you drop your Kiwi accent and flutter eyelashes on them. wink wink

Basel Convention Releases Feasibility Study on Ship-Dismantling
May 2013: The Basel Convention Secretariat has released a feasibility report, titled 'Feasibility Study for Ship Dismantling,' which reviews what constitutes environmentally sound management in the context of ship dismantling. The study, funded through a grant from the European Commission, explores alternatives to the traditional method of ship recycling through "beaching."
The 97-page feasibility study, called for by Basel Convention parties, includes: consultations with ship recycling facilities employing environmentally sound alternatives and with ship owners who use such facilities; a field mission to facilities employing alternative methods of ship recycling to establish the parameters of such methods; and the development of a feasibility report providing a cost estimate for the establishment and operation of model ship recycling yard.

MARTINSBURG - "The Martinsburg Texas Steakhouse is no longer open for business," is what the sign in the front door of the Foxcroft Avenue restaurant reads.
Saturday apparently was the restaurant's last day.
On Thursday, it was deserted. No one was available for comment.

Journal photo by John McVey
A bucket outside the now-closed Texas Steakhouse in Martinsburg holds coupons and encourages customers to travel to Winchester to use them. The restuarant closed Saturday.
"Thank you for your loyalty to the company, but unfortunately, with the hard economy, we have been forced to close this location," the sign continues.
The sign encourages patrons to visit the Texas Steakhouse in Winchester.
There also is a galvanized pail with coupons and a sign that says the coupons can be redeemed at the Winchester restaurant.
The Martinsburg Texas Steakhouse and Saloon opened in 2004.
According to its website, the Rocky Mount, N.C.,-based company operated 19 restaurants in North Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia.
Texas Steakhouse had been owned by Boddie-Noell Enterprises Inc., which was bought by CB Steaks LLC in 2012. Headquartered in Millburn, N.J., CB Steaks operates Charlie Brown's Steakhouses in New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania.
Praesidian Capital bought out of bankruptcy the assets of 20 Charlie Brown's Steakhouses from the chain's parent company, CB Holding Corp., in 2011. Praesidian is a private investment firm located in New York City.

Jeff Goldblum, Christine Lahti
In this sci-fi thriller based on a Dean Koontz best-seller, Goldblum is miraculously brought back to life after a car accident. But, as attending physician Alfred Molina warns Golblum's wife (Lahti), "He may seem different to you."
Now here's a doctor who can make a diagnosis. Goldblum's brief journey to the other side has inexplicably given him a psychic connection to a mad killer (Jeremy Sisto). He frequently can see and feel what Sisto sees and feels. Moreover, Sisto can see through Goldblum's eyes.
What the killer sees is a fresh victim: Goldblum's beloved teenage daughter (Alicia Silverstone). Consumed by terrifying visions and nightmares made palpable by ludicrous special effects, Goldblum becomes more and more convinced that Silverstone is in imminent mortal danger. Everyone else, meanwhile, is becoming more and more convinced that Goldblum is rowing with only one oar.
Even in the most bizarre, twisted tales, there must be a seedbed of logic. No such thing here. More delicate direction would have been appreciated. Hideaway begins on such a feverishly portentious note that it has no place to go but out of control, and the pervasive soundtrack, which sounds like a migraine, is no aid to the cause.
Goldblum, all wild eyes and unkempt hair, has the look of a man about to turn into a werewolf, and Lahti is stuck playing the unrewarding role of supportive-skeptical-scared wife. (R)

A lawsuit filed Monday against the Philadelphia Phillies and the team's general manager reads like: he said, he said, he said, he said.
But those words could end up costing the Phillies big-league bucks.
In the suit, former Phillies' batting practice pitcher Ali Modami claims that GM Ruben Amaro, Jr., defamed him and ruined his job prospects with the Washington Nationals and L.A. Dodgers.
Modami, who is seeking a judgment in excess of $100,000, worked for the Phillies from May 2007 until Oct. 11, 2011, when Amaro terminated him because the team wanted to go in a "different direction" and was attempting to "change up the hitting program," according to the suit, filed by attorney Sidney L. Gold.

Addressing Domestic Violence in Immigrant Communities: Critical Issues for Culturally Competent Services
This Applied Research paper provides an overview of the methodological issues in research used to generate knowledge of the nature and dynamics of domestic violence in immigrant communities, the research findings that help us understand the broad contexts within which immigrant women experience domestic violence, and provides some considerations for culturally competent services.
View Full Resource: PDF | HTML
VAWnet Summary:
Addressing Domestic Violence in Immigrant Communities: Critical Issues for Culturally Competent Services by Sheetal Rana in consultation with Leni Marin (February 2012)
In Brief:
Immigrant women are a diverse group of women from different socio-cultural and economic backgrounds and with individual histories and biographies. At the same time, as immigrant women, they may share certain experiences and everyday realities. These differences and similarities among immigrant women pose challenges in addressing domestic violence in immigrant communities and highlight the importance of culturally competent services to immigrant survivors.
Knowledge of domestic violence in immigrant communities can be a useful guide in developing and implementing culturally competent services. However, relatively little research exists on domestic violence in immigrant communities.
- Most have methodological limitations, including exclusion or uneven attention to certain groups, aggregation of subgroups of immigrants, lack of attention to socio-cultural context, and limited comparability of findings (Yoshihama, 2008).
- Most qualitative studies of domestic violence in immigrant communities are based on relatively small samples of specific immigrant groups, generating a greater understanding and knowledge of domestic violence but only among those directly studied.
- Studies of domestic violence in immigrant communities have found that various aspects of immigrant survivors' lives intersect to make their domestic violence experiences somewhat different from that of non-immigrant survivors.
- A survivor's immigration status influences her access to legal protections, which in turn influences her risk for domestic violence (Crandall et al, 2005; Acevedo, 2000).
- Financial independence can provide means to escape violence, but many survivors have limited financial resources (Erez et al., 2009; Crandall et al., 2005; Bhuyan et al., 2005).
- Survivors' communities and extended families may contribute to domestic violence by pressuring survivors to stay with the abuser, stigmatizing those who leave or report violence to police, and by participating in abuse (Abraham, 2000a; Bui, 2003; Dasgupta, 2005).
- Many survivors experience social isolation, which may be a deliberate strategy used by their partners or because their families and friends are in their country of origin (Abraham, 2000a; Erez et al., 2009; Sullivan et al., 2005).
- Survivors respond to domestic violence with various strategies, ranging from active resistance to passive acceptance of violence (Erez et al., 2009; Abraham, 2000b; Crandall et al., 2005).
These research findings and others highlight the need for several culturally competent approaches to providing services to immigrant survivors. These include increasing survivors' access to information about domestic violence and services available, offering culturally specific shelter and other services, helping survivors adapt to life and work in the U.S., helping survivors with VAWA self-petition, and working with survivors' communities to prevent domestic violence. Additionally, it is crucial to engage in a continuous process of learning and applying the knowledge gained in scale up culturally competent services immigrant women survivors and their communities.

Like gnats, wind gusts and plodding players, cellphones can be surpassingly irritating on the golf course.
"You'll be into your swing, and the phone will ring," said Butch Baldwin, a retired longshoremen, as he paused between holes at Clifton Park Golf Course in Baltimore recently. "I think they should be put on vibrate."
But golf's relationship with smartphones is complicated, as modern convenience clashes with the sport's traditions.
For centuries, golf has been a sanctuary, a bucolic — if occasionally maddening — escape from everyday worries. Quiet was expected on the links so concentration on swings and putts wasn't...

With the CT 200h F Sport, Lexus tried to convince us that its Prius in a Lexus costume could also be a sports car. Critics mocked it and sales have been poor to say the very least. But now Lexus is trying again with a relatively low-cost sporty hybrid, and if the rumors prove to be true, then this one might actually be quite good. The car is the IS 300h, and it will based on an actual Lexus this time around. Green Car Reports say that the IS 300h is expected to produce 240 horsepower, nearly double that of the CT 200h, and will be able to sprint to 60mph in 7 seconds.
The drivetrain will be derived from that of the LF-CC hybrid coupe concept car, which certainly gives its sporting credentials an extra boost. The IS mainly competes with the BMW 3-Series, and the hybrid version will add an interesting new dimension to this rivalry. On the downside, there will be a CVT transmission, and this is distinctly non-sporty. There is also the issue of weight, which is apparently expected to come to about 3,900lbs. But Lexus is still trying hard to improve its sporting image, so there might be some more details about this which we aren't getting yet, and all should become more clear when the car officially debuts at the Detroit Auto Show next month.
Sport hybrids are a difficult concept to get nailed down, and Lexus is hardly the only company to have missed the mark in the past. Honda's CR-Z was, in truth, a better attempt than the CT 200h, but it still seriously suffers in the performance department. Porsche has quite a nice sport hybrid in the 918, but with a price north of $1 million, that can barely be considered the same kind of vehicle at all. But hybrids are still a relatively new thing, and on top of that, most hybrid owners have no interest in sports cars. There is still no doubt that, small as this niche may be, it will continue to improve. And maybe the IS 300h will be as big a breakthrough for mainstream sport hybrids as the Prius was for hybrids in general.
