I'm mystified by this
I'm mystified by this thread. As I posted here TWO DAYS ago, the Astros made Kaz an offer and, who knows, he may eventually take it but real sources, as opposed to bloggers getting their scoops from other blogs, still say that it's more likely he'll sign back with the Rockies or anew with the Cubs.
Oh please! Oh please! Oh

I have to say that I'll be more than happy if Kaz goes to Houston. I have no belief that he'd do any good for the Cubbies and if we were to sign him, we'd be in big trouble. It'd be like Augie Ojeda all over again. Good job Hendry and Co.
Hunter to the Sox? I like
Hunter to the Sox? I like that guy. Alot. Too bad we signed Fonzi instead of him. At least we'd get to see more of him in-town. Unfortunately, it means we see him head-to-head 6x a year, too.
I don't see Hunter as a
I don't see Hunter as a great fit for the Cubs. His defense isn't what it used to be, and he wouldn't be snatching any HR's at Wrigley, anyway. He's not a high OBP guy and he bats from the wrong side of the plate. On a 2 or 3 year deal, maybe, but he's not going to be a good enough hitter in 3 years to justify playing a corner outfield slot, and he's barely a good enough center fielder today.
All in all, Torii would be
All in all, Torii would be just another brick in the wall.

In about 15 mintues, John McDonough is resigning as President of the Cubs and will take over as President of the Blackhawks. Looks like a preemptive strike on McDonough's part with the impending ownership change. Good news for the few of us Blackhawk fans that are left though. Rocky has done more for the Hawks in two months than his old man did in the last 25 years.

Yes seriously. It's been rumored that McDonough was working without a contract and with the ownership situation you'd have to assume he didn't see anyone at the tower being able to give him a longterm deal. That is likely why he's able to slip out and implement the new regime with the Indian Heads. Another fantastic move by Rocky Wirtz. Eventually home games will be on tv so all that's left is to bring back Pat Foley and get Chelios back in a Hawks uni before he hangs up the Bauers.

Boy they must have a sucky GM?
By that, I mean someone at
By that, I mean someone at the top who knows how to manage a company, like a company president should do. That's not the kind of thing you expect a GM to do. Don't ask a scout or player development guy to run a company. I was happy that McDonough had changed the penny-ante McPhail mentality. If the Cubs are going to change the infrastructure to become a superior club in scouting and player development and building overall organizational strength (and not just ape what everyone else does), it will take someone from the very top to cast the vision to do so.
I'm thinking of having the Cubs find out how to do something like what Branch Rickey did that revolutionized how ball clubs discover and develop talent. Rickey is the guy that turned the Cardinals and the Dodgers into power organizations by creating a greatly expanded farm system of minor league teams that were obligated to funnel their talent up to you. The positive effect on both teams lasted for years and it took decades for the Cubs to come close to catching up, organization-wise (thanks to years of ownership by the backward, contrarian individualist, P. K. Wrigley).
I've been hoping that someone could get the Cubs to develop an organizational edge over the rest of the major league teams and stop playing catch-up. If that ever happens, McDonough isn't gonna spearhead it.
Hunter to the Sox? I like
Hunter to the Sox? I like that guy. Alot. Too bad we signed Fonzi instead of him.
Are you serious? Hunter is Jaques Jones with an arm, and rumored to be getting a deal in the neighborhood of 5/75. Plus he's 32 and his defensive skills have been on a significant decline, although he can still has the remarkable ability to turn a routine flyball into a diving, made for ESPN, "webgem."
If Hunter gets 15 million a year, Fonzi's deal is a bargin by comparison.
"Are you serious? Hunter is
"Are you serious? Hunter is Jaques Jones with an arm, and rumored to be getting a deal in the neighborhood of 5/75. Plus he's 32"
Sorry. I do not agree. People have been saying this about A-Rod and other "old" players that still have many terrific seasons ahead. He is still one of the top 3 Cf's in baseball. He may turn out to be a Kenny Lofton type in longevity and will certainly be HOF material.
Hunter might not fall off
Hunter might not fall off the cliff, but he's never been that good to begin with. Even if he repeats his contract year performance of 2007 for the next 5 years, he's not a $15 million a year player.
Offensively, he really is no better than Jaques Jones, even BR's most similar offensive players include the likes of Jones, Encarnacion, and Preston Wilson, all players who got the "overpaid" treatment when they signed deals in the ballpark of 5 million a year for 2-3 years.
The only thing that really separates him is his defense. But over the last couple years its been pretty clear that he has lost a step, and he is no longer quite as able to use his speed to make up for getting a poor read off the bat. And again, while he certainly is a good defender, he also can look better on tv than he does in person, because he will frequently turn an average out into a highlight real dive.
Hunter is a good player, but not a great one, and he has never been HoF material, even in his best years.
"he has never been HoF
"he has never been HoF material, even in his best years."
Time will tell, and I believe you will be proven wrong.
He is still one of the GREAT cf's in the game, and has been for the last several years. More than good.

Top 10 MVP only once, 6th
Tori Hunter is not even close. He's a career .271 hitter. He'd have to replicate his carrer high for hits in a season for ELEVEN seasons, until age 42 to reach 3,000. He'll end up like Dale Murphy, at best, if he doesn't regress much as age sets in.
Rosenthal (updated 15 hours ago) says Kaz is more likely to stay with the Rockies or go to the Cubs than the Astros.

I fail to see where Matt Suhey will help the Cubs. We already have three of him in The Riot, Fontenot, and that Baby guy, Infante. He can not hit outside of Colorado, and even if he has speed, he cannot steal first base, and the Cubs need as many base cloggers as they can find to help their offense.
I sure hope Houston does sign him.
"Tori Hunter is not even
"Tori Hunter is not even close."
Do not agree. He is, and will be close when he gets voted in.
Think his average is too low? Think again - Ryne Sandberg's biggest supporter has a lifetime BA of .271 as well - its Joe Morgan.
You are entitled to your opinion, but its wrong.
Morgan also had a career OBP
Morgan also had a career OBP of 392 compared to Hunters 324. Morgan also stole more than 40 bases for 9 years in a row, compared to Hunter's 23 SBs in his best year.
And of course Morgan won 2 MVPs, finished in the top 10 of MVP voting 3 other times and was a 10 time all-star. Hunter finished 6th in the MVP voting once, and has only been invited to 2 all star games.
Hunter's 271 average won't keep him out of the HoF, but it won't get him into it either. And right now, I don't know what anyone would see that would have him even sniffing the hall.
Actually, I have changed my
Actually, I have changed my mind. He is very, very good. But not "great". He IS a great fielder, imo, and has 7GG's and 3 AS appearances.
But actually, he is league average offensively, in his career, pretty much.
Had he played on some championship teams, like Morgan did, I believe his popularity would be enough - along with his great D, and average "O", to make it into the HOF. If Morgan can get in with a .271 BA, and LArry Doby with .283, I think in today's "web gem" world, Hunter will make it in.
Time will tell.

soler + hammel for mike trout is pretty much a sure thing. *nods*
Not an inspired outing by Rondon. Seemingly got ahead of every hitter but had no swing and miss pitch today, slider had no bite.
Somebody give Soler some smelling salts - yeesh
And...now that runner scores on a single...
So where do you think Soler will be traded to this off season?
And right on cue he throws to third with no chance to get runner on 2nd so the batter takes 2nd easily. How long has he been playing baseball??
Man you cannot put Soler out there late in games for Playoffs. Yuch...
Such is the life of a fatted calf...
fowler with a triple in the 4th...he's a HR away from a "natural" cycle
...and contreras takes one off the hand and he's in obvious pain. sigh.
he's staying in the game, though he's wringing his hand out during breaks in the action. aside from that he seems to have no issue giving signs or tossing back to the pitcher.
...and he's batting in the cubs half of the following inning. sweet.
his collapse started on august 21st this season...so it's a slight improvement.
but wow, what a collapse since then...only 2 out of 7 can be considered good/decent.
I'm really going to enjoy watching Hammel watch the playoffs.
The always combustible Jason Hammel
Hammel :(
That was fun.

Since the opening of Community Cancer Center South in April, the radiation oncology staff has been providing treatment to patients using state-of-the-art equipment.
The TrueBeam™, a radiation therapy machine, brings something different to cancer treatment plans for Community cancer patients. Using TrueBeam's advanced imaging features, doctors can "see" the tumor and personalize treatments to a particular cancer - and treatments take minutes, not hours.
"The TrueBeam delivers an advanced form of radiation with pin point accuracy to a patient's tumor either in or on the surface of their body," explained Dr. Darrel Ross, radiation oncologist at Community Physician Network.
Not to mention, the machine itself makes treatment more comfortable for patients of all sizes and cancer types.
In fact, the Truebeam™ at Community Cancer Center South recently accommodated a bariatric patient from Boone County. He drove the far distance to the south side because the cancer treatment he needed could be effectively done on the Truebeam™, given his size.
Breast cancer patients are also reaping the benefits of this technology. It's not unusual for a breast cancer patient to experience the harsh effects of radiation that leave their skin irritated and red. With the TrueBeam, the severity of those side effects are greatly reduced.
But, the most noticeable benefit to patients is the calming environment in which they receive treatment.
"What we've done, in order to take away the element of fear from such a monstrous piece of machinery, was create a very cool, soothing and ambient environment. Even the ceiling in the treatment room is that of a starry night sky," said Ross.
To learn more about cancer treatment at Community Cancer Center South, take our online tour of the facility.
To make an appointment with an MD Anderson Cancer Network® certified physician at Community, call 800-777-7775 today!
Community Health Network is the first healthcare organization to achieve system-wide recognition by MD Anderson Cancer Network® as a certified member.

The Sierra Vista Boys & Girls Club in Canyon Country was packed with more than 100 people Saturday as friends and family paid tribute to Sheldon Allen, longtime supporter of the club and other local help organizations.
"Sheldon was the epitome of someone who would do anything for his friends and family," friend Jim Tweedy said at the memorial service.
Allen, a 42-year resident of Canyon Country, died June 29 after a long illness. He was 77.
Allen was a longtime Boys & Girls Club supporter and former William S. Hart Union High School District trustee. He also served on the Red Cross Disaster Team in 1993 and volunteered for the Canyon High School Boosters Club. In 1995 he was named Santa Clarita Valley Man of the Year.
Speakers at the memorial steered away from mournful comments, instead offering fond memories of Allen and the contributions he and his wife made.
"It is said: The more a man services others, the more he will be missed — and Sheldon served lots of others and will be missed," said Gary Condie, a certified public accountant who is also involved in local nonprofit organizations.
The service included a flag presentation by members of the U.S. Navy, which Allen served for four years; a eulogy from Tweedy; and a slide show produced by Boys & Girls Club staff.
Tony Newhall of the Santa Clarita Valley Man and Woman of the Year Committee praised Allen's service, as did representatives from the American Red Cross and the Boys & Girls Club.
Jim Ventress, chief professional officer of the Boys & Girls Club, said the location for the service was appropriate.
Allen had served on the board of directors during campaigns for the club's two buildings, the Sierra Vista club in 2003 and the Newhall club 1992.
"To describe Sheldon and Pat Allen — they were our volunteers of the decade in the '90s," Ventress said.
"We have many great volunteers in Santa Clarita, but to single out two people for a decade — that says it."

Jibril Rajoub
Jibril Rajoub (Arabic: جبريل رجوب, born 1953), also known by his kunya Abu Rami[1] is a Palestinian political and militant figure. He was the head of the Preventive Security Force in the West Bank until being dismissed (along with the force's chief in Gaza, Ghazi Jabali) in 2002.[2][3] He was elected to the Fatah Central Committee at the party's 2009 congress.[4] He also leads the Palestinian Football Association and the Palestine Olympic Committee.[4]
Rajoub was born in the town of Dura, near Hebron. In 1968, he was arrested by Shin Bet at age 15 on suspicion of aiding fleeing Egyptian officers, and spent four months in prison.[1] While in prison, he met a local Fatah leader, who recommended that he be accepted into the organization, which was then secretive. After his release, he joined Fatah. His tasks were to assist fighters and build up cells in the Hebron hills.[1][5]
In September 1970, Rajoub was arrested for throwing a grenade at an Israeli army bus near Hebron. He was tried and convicted of this attack and of membership in an armed group, and sentenced life in prison. He became a prominent figure among prisoners, leading hunger strikes and protests. He also studied Zionism and Hebrew extensively, and together with a cellmate, translated The Revolt by Menachem Begin into Arabic.[5] Rajoub spent time in numerous prisons throughout the West Bank and Israel, as Israeli authorities moved prisoners around to disrupt their organization.[1]
In 1985, Rajoub was one of 1,150 Arab prisoners freed in exchange for three Israeli hostages held by the PFLP.[6] He was soon rearrested for resuming militant activities, and was interrogated and placed in solitary confinement. He was hospitalized after a 30-day hunger strike. After his recovery, he returned to prison, and was released seven months later. In September 1986, he was arrested again for militant activity, and was imprisoned until March 1987[1]
Rajoub continued to work with Fatah cells in the West Bank. He was arrested for his activities during the First Intifada in December 1987, and was deported to Lebanon in January 1988.[1][2] He relocated to Tunis, Tunisia, where as an advisor on the intifada to Fatah deputy leader Khalil al-Wazir. After Wazir's assassination by Israeli commandos, he became a close lieutenant of Arafat, and was allegedly behind a 1992 plot to assassinate Ariel Sharon.[7]
In 1994, Rajoub was allowed to return to the West Bank following the signing of the Oslo Accords. He served as head of the Preventive Security Force until 2002, and Yasser Arafat appointed him as his national security advisor in 2003. During his tenure, he was accused of using the force to quash political dissent and harass political opponents of Yasser Arafat and the Palestinian National Authority, including the use of torture.[8] During the Oslo years, he criticized the growing influence of religious fundamentalism in Palestinian society schools, launched a major crackdown on Hamas and the Islamic Jihad Movement.[7] Local rumours maintain that in 1996 he personally took Hamas members into the hills of Beitunia and shot them personally..[9]
In an interview which aired on Palestinian Authority TV on September 23, 2011, (as a response to a recent speech by US President Barack Obama speech at the UN regarding Palestinian independence)(as translated by MEMRI), Rajoub sharply criticized Obama, stating that "Obama's speech was idiotic. It did not even reflect the US policy or the doctrine they employed in the past. It sounded like a speech of a student leader in a university, rather than the speech of a leader of a superpower."[10]
In June 2012, as head of the Palestine Olympic Committee, Rajoub called a request for a minute of silence to remember the 11 Israeli athletes murdered at the Munich Olympics by Palestinian militants in 1972 "racist".[11]
Rajoub told Hezbollah-affiliated television network Al Mayadeen "until now we have not had nuclear weapons," he declared, "but in the name of Allah, if we had nuclear weapons, we'd be using them."[12]

Move Over Bookmobile: Make Way for the Biblioburro
Travel Blog • Valerie Conners • 10.22.08 | 10:04 AM ET
The New York Times profiled Luis Soriano, Colombia's one-man Biblioburro, who—along with his two donkeys, Alfa and Beto—brings books to some of his nation's most remote and impoverished villages. "This began as a necessity; then it became an obligation; and after that a custom," Soriano said. "Now it is an institution."
Armed with some 4,800 donated books to distribute, Soriano aims to bring the outside world to people who otherwise would have few chances to experience it.
It's incredible and inspiring that on his quest, Soriano has already faced bandits, broken limbs and financial adversity, yet still adheres to his pursuit.

Promoting Chiquitano culture in Bolivia through ICT
A series of training courses on the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) for media workers from Chiquitano communities in Bolivia are being organized with the support of UNESCO´s International Programme for the Development of Communication (IPDC).
The Chiquitano people encompass more than 40 lowland ethnic groups scattered over five provinces in the Santa Cruz department of Bolivia. Until now, they did not have an opportunity to promote their culture, language and accomplishments. ICT can give this opportunity to them. Through new communication tools the Chiquitano communities will be able to circulate their own media and Internet contents, to strengthen communication among them, to preserve and promote their cultural identity, and to address the existing imbalance in access to information.
Using ICT for the Promotion and Diffusion of Chiquitano Culture project, which aims to respond to communication needs of Bolivian indigenous communities, was approved for funding by the 53rd session of the IPDC Bureau in March 2009. It started in July 2009 and is being implemented by the Bolivian association Support for Indigenous Farmers in East Bolivia (APCOB).
15 media workers and correspondents from grassroots organizations will attend the training under this project. The training activities will be carried out through a system of 'learning through practice', which consists in using radio and Internet production tools to communicate and promote culture.

The IPL Jinx of S Sreesanth!
The exploits of the Kerala pacer has been stained forever by the spot-fixing slur. Here's the journey through the jinxed IPL career of Shanthakumaran Sreesanth.
Slapgate in IPL 2008
On 25 April 2008, after the victory of his Kings XI Punjab team in the Indian Premier League (IPL) match over the Mumbai Indians in Mohali, Sreesanth was allegedly slapped by Harbhajan Singh. The incident came to light after Sreesanth was caught sobbing on the field before the presentation ceremony by the TV cameras. After an enquiry, IPL governing council banned Harbhajan from the remainder of the tournament and blocked his salary. The BCCI launched a separate investigation and banned the Team India spinner for five ODIs.

Westley and Shah put Glamorgan to sword
Click here for exclusive match highlights from every day's play, latest scores, reports, news and interviews during the LV= County Championship campaign
Tom Westley and Owais Shah hit centuries as Essex declared on 520 for nine in reply to Glamorgan's 438 all out on the third day of their LV= County Championship Division Two match at Colchester.
Faced with six overs before the close and a deficit of 82 runs, the visitors steered clear of trouble to reach 16 without loss.
Westley made 185 and Shah 138 after Essex, who resumed on 165 without loss, warmed to their task against a toiling and innocuous attack.
Jaik Mickleburgh added only two to his overnight score before he was caught behind by Mark Wallace off Huw Waters.
His dismissal on 74 ended an opening stand of 178 and came immediately after Westley completed his century with three boundaries; it arrived from 149 balls and contained 20 fours.
The arrival of Shah hardly brought an increase in tempo. He needed 31 deliveries to open his account but then found his touch to complete a half-century from 98. On a pitch that gave the bowlers no help, the third-wicket pair put together a partnership of 191 in 56 overs.
The longer it went on, the more subdued Westley became; the opener scored only 35 runs in 29 overs after lunch before his marathon effort, during which he surpassed his previous best of 132, finally ended on the stroke of tea.
Westley fell lbw trying to sweep off-spinner Robert Croft, by which time Shah had completed his first century of the season, moving to three figures by advancing down the pitch and despatching a huge maximum over midwicket off Croft.
At tea, Essex still required 24 runs from three overs to move to 400 and pick up maximum bonus batting points. It was a mission they accomplished with just one ball to spare thanks to a flourish from Shah that included an on-side six against Jim Allenby after Mark Pettini was caught on the long-on boundary attacking Croft.
Shah's fine innings came to an end shortly afterwards when he drove Graham Wagg into the hands of Allenby at mid-off. He laced his 198-ball innings with four maximums and 17 fours.
The remaining batsmen came and went in rapid succession with Croft the main beneficiary as he reaped a harvest of 5-135 in 30.5 overs, although the home side were able to record their highest total of the summer.

Q. I recently purchased a tiger oscar at a local pet store. Upon bringing my new oscar home, I noticed his eyes had something wrong with them. A strange orange bubble covers the pupil of the left eye. This appears to have caused loss of sight in this eye. A cloudy dot is evident on the surface of the right eye, but the oscar fish still seems to have vision in it. I have seen oscars in other shops affected by this problem, but I have no idea what causes it or how to treat it. Can you help me?
A. The bubble-like structure you describe in your oscar's left eye is probably the result of damage inflicted during the course of a fight. Fish eyes are vulnerable structures, which may explain why so many fish species target them in serious bouts of aggression. Based on my experience with similar fish injuries, I would suggest that your oscar can still perceive light and movement through the damaged eye, but resolution of detail is no longer possible. Regrettably, such eye damage is irreversible.
Cichlid fish with such injuries would be poor candidates for life insurance in nature, where predators lurk, but appear to manage very well in captivity. While clearly not a show-quality specimen, your oscar should still make a satisfactory pet fish and could even be used as breeding stock if care were taken to find a compatible partner.
Milky or cloudy patches on the surface of the eye are usually the result of environmental trauma. Damage due to net abrasion, pH shock or poor water quality usually accounts for this condition. Once the source of stress is removed, the eye should recover its customary clarity rapidly. Supportive treatment in the form of a vitamin B12-based tonic, such as Tetra's African Vital, can do no harm and seems to accelerate regeneration. Such mechanical damage carries with it a risk of bacterial infection. In cichlid fish so afflicted, the cloudiness will cover the entire surface of the eye, whose surface may develop a flannel-like appearance. Any furan-based antibiotic used according to the manufacturer's instructions will treat such "eye fungus" effectively.

Big brain
Brain injuries can be a devastating form of personal injury and the establishment of the Brain Injury Group of 50 of the UK's most experienced lawyers who specialise in these cases is a step forward for the individuals and families affected.
Sally Dunscombe, director of the group, says: "While there are some superb personal injury lawyers and medics who diagnose and manage the many forms of brain injury correctly, we see too many inconsistencies in this highly specialist field."
Members of the group include well-known names such as Bindmans and Prolegal, Blake Lapthorn and Moore Blatch. But a

My landlord officially sucks. I'd like to stick his head in my toilet and keep flushing 'til he cries uncle. Then flush just one more time.
Also, it's so hot and humid out that when I took a measly 1.2 mile walk to the bank and back, my hair which was wet from the shower never got completely dry. In fact, the part at the back of my neck was probably wetter after the walk.
Did I mention that my landlord sucks?

Future House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio., met with with more than half a dozen newly elected Republican governors on Wednesday to discuss ways to cut spending, create jobs, and repeal the new health care law.
"We are now going to start conversations of why we don't need mandated health care and what we as states can do as solutions instead," Gov-elect Nikki Haley, R-S.C., said. "We are not just going to say no," Haley vowed. "But we are actually going to tell our federal leaders what we can do instead so that they can go back and fight for why states should have more rights than what they have right now."
Boehner and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said the governors could share ideas with lawmakers on how to govern better and less expensively.
"We want to establish a relationship with the governors where we can work together and provide the kind of flexibility governors are looking for in order to meet the challenges that they face in their states," said Boehner, who will take the speaker's gavel in January.
Meanwhile, the White House has pledged to work more closely with the nation's Democratic governors - a gesture they welcomed.
"We're always looking for more and better coordination and collaboration," Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley, the new Democratic Governors Association chairman, said.
Still, he added: "Were it not for the actions of the president and the Democratic-controlled Congress on the economy, statehouses would be in shambles right now."
President Obama is scheduled to meet with the newly elected governors of both parties on Thursday.

Fished Dunbar for about an hour at 6:00 on Saturday. I've never seen so many people there, trucks full of guys with kegs and cases of beer. We turned back from the end of the SGL road and found a spot where you had to walk in through some rhododendon, so we had this to ourselves. Caught 2 brookies, one wild 12" with beautiful colours and one stocked 13" fat, strong and fierce but dull coloured. Not bad for a short visit. I just hope the crowds weren't poaching!

Hello flyers... Looking for some insight and advice here. A few weeks back I had sex for the first time. It felt great, and I loved practically every minute of it, but here's the problem... I had a very difficult time finishing. Every time I felt I was building up to an orgasm, I ended up plateauing and not getting there. It was very frustrating and I started to feel bad... I basically felt like I was letting my ladyfriend down... Someone I talked to about the issue mentioned it could be performance anxiety. Of course, my thoughts came back to DGS and that it could also be the culprit.
Looking back, I took a bit of a break from my Fleshlights. I was using my hand primarily while masturbating. The thing is, I never really had severe issues with DGS in the past. I've always been able to orgasm pretty quickly inside a Fleshlight if I wanted to. Maybe a day after my first time, I was able to easily orgasm while flying with my Torrid. (Yeah, I busted my Torrid out of it's plastic shell for first time in like a year.) Was feeling the little nubs fine. Same thing goes when I fly with my Swallow; no trouble feeling the super ribs. So while I've been thinking DGS is a possibility, I also think it's not.
So flyers, what's the diagnosis here? I'd like to be ready for next time with my ladyfriend. I've been thinking of taking a break from masturbating until then, but I've also got the Flight Instructor coming next week... Help would be very much appreciated

Don't put your trust in anyone on this forum, including me. You are the key to your own success.
A little bit of perspective, please.
The optimal nutritional substrate for the body is the one that is most readily available and enables it to survive. We have been down this reductionist path before and we are seemingly hell bent on making the same mistakes again: fat is the enemy, or maybe protein is the enemy, hang on, it's actually carbohydrate that we should steer clear of.
As has been mentioned previously, glucose undergoes glycolysis which produces 2 net ATP molecules and 2 pyruvate molecules. If there is no oxygen available at this point, you're done. Pyruvate accumulates, gets converted to lactic acid which is shunted to the liver to undergo gluconeogenesis and that gets you glucose that you can use in glycolysis ... and then you rinse and repeat. This is anaerobic respiration.
If you have sufficient oxygen, then you can process the pyruvate into Acetyl CoA and feed that into the TCA / Krebs cycle to get about 30 more ATP molecules for your trouble.
How about free fatty acids? Well, you first have to beta oxidize them to produce Acetyl CoA and then you can run that through the TCA / Krebs cycle, always with the proviso that you have enough oxygen to act as an electron acceptor.
So, how is fat derived Acetyl CoA different from the glucose derived Acetyl CoA? It isn't. Even if a cell were capable of caring about the source ("preferring one substrate over another"), there is no way it can chemically differentiate them. Further, your body will always strive to have glucose in reserve precisely for those times that insufficient oxygen is available to drive the Krebs cycle. In addition, your body will always have some adipose tissue in reserve for those times that you have plenty of oxygen available, but are subject to a temporary interruption in your external energy supply.
Is it possible to be happy, healthy, and fit while eating even moderate amounts of carbohydrates? Yes, it is. How about fats and proteins? Yup. Do you need to be judicious about which fats or carbohydrates, or protein sources you decide to eat? Well, duh!

Interested in Intermittent Fasting? This might help: part 1, part 2, part 3.
Awwww. PK! There you go being all reasonable and actually knowing what you are talking about and stuff. Way to ruin a perfectly good carb-war, dude.
interesting thread. i've always wondered if eating a high-fat diet plays a role in in limiting non-metabolic acid buffering capabilities...perhaps more plasma bicarbonate? i guess i've assumed that we are limiting our exercise periods above ventilatory threshold for this reason; to spend less time in stressful, anaerobic pathways. is there any merit to these take-home messages i seem to be accumulating?
this wounded bear is gonna find ALL the answers...health, reveal thyself!!
"Preferred fuel" is a marketing term. Your body doesn't care. Just make sure the source is low toxin. Fat, carbs, whatever. If you're eating a high fat diet simply because you like eating bacon, butter and steak in front of CW-minded people to provoke a shocked reaction out of them, reassess your goals. The same thing goes with those scared of fat because of caloric density or some cholesterol-heart disease myth. Listen to your body. It's pretty much Primal Blueprint Principle #1. If you listen hard enough, it'll tell you what you want.

BTW you don't actually have to respond to this I'm F'ing with you ...kinda.
Actually, your quite right. Nothing in science is definitive. Studies may indicate something but they can not definitively state anything. There are a lot of epidemiological research that indicates more sugar and more wheat correlate with reduced health. If you find a civilization where they did not consume these things...upon which the introduction of such IMPROVED health then you truly have something of interest in disputing the claim.
And I think we all understand that traditional preparation of these items makes a helluva lot of difference in their structure when consumed vs. modern methods with genetically modified product.

When I told people I was dialing back the fat intake to lose weight, everyone jumped to the conclusion that I was replacing it with carbs. Not so. I replaced it with lean protein and watched the pounds drop off.
Now that I am at maintenance my protein and fat are about equal but I still keep the carbs low. It's optimal *for me*.

Renée Zellweger may be developing an increasingly close friend in Bradley Cooper – the two have been seen getting cozy together in various corners of the world – but Tuesday night on the New York red carpet for her new movie My One and Only, the Oscar winner told PEOPLE that when it comes to what she looks for in a man, it's the "same thing I look for when I choose to be friends with anyone I have in my life."
And that is? "Kindness," she says. "I like clever folks. I like people who are concerned with [what] the path they leave behind them looks like." Also on the list: "empathy, humor, wit, self reliance and honesty." As for attractive looks, "Doesn't hurt," says Zellweger, 40.
To her My One and Only colleagues, Cooper, 34, may very well fit the bill.
"He seems like a very likable guy," said Aaron Ryder, a producer of the film. "Nice guy."
"Cute," said actress Robin Weigert, stating the obvious about Cooper.
And Zellweger obviously deserves likable, nice and cute, according to 17-year-old actor Logan Lerman – who plays her son in the romantic comedy. "In real life," he says, "she's the sweetest person … I love Renée. She's a movie mom to me. 'Mama Z' is what I call her. We went to a John Mayer concert together."
Has Lerman seen Cooper in The Hangover? "Hell, yes," he snapped at the My One and Only premiere, sponsored by SKYY Vodka and the Rouge Tomate restaurant.
"I saw it like two times. Bradley Cooper also started on this [2004] television show that I started on, Jack and Bobby," said Lerman. "He was just guest starring on the show, and he'd play basketball with me. He was someone who inspired me to always be nice, always be a good person. So it's awesome to see him becoming successful."

Series I Savings Bond Rate Update (May 2010)
As we near the end of April, we also near the announcement period of Series I Savings Bond interest rates. For the uninitiated, here's a quick recap – Series I Savings bonds are Treasury bonds whose interest rate is pegged to the rate of inflation. The rate is determined by an equation (I just use my Series I bond rate calculator) involving the bond's fixed rate and the inflation rate, announced in May and November.
I think Series I bonds are great if you need something 100% safe and a respectable interest rate. My favorite part is that the interest is free of state income taxes plus federal if used for qualified educational expenses. If you have a short term need, like education in a few years, that you want to still accrue interest but not put in the market, a savings bond isn't a bad idea.

Welcome to the chapter on noise reduction or noise removal. In this chapter, you going to learn a handful of different techniques that you can use in order to remove noise from your images. Now I'm going to show you different techniques because each of our images will have a little bit different kind of noise and in addition there isn't one technique that's best for noise removal. So first I just want to comment on noise in general. This photograph has noise is in it as a result of shooting that an ISO 1600. This other photograph that I captured of the musician Eddie Vedder. The ISO was at 640, so it's going to have noise in it, but it's going to be a different type. The ISO isn't as high.
It has this really unique lighting, so we are going to see some different types of noise. So based on the type of noise, we are going to need to attack the problem a little bit differently. Let's first start off on this file here. We will go ahead double-click to open that one in Photoshop and then double-click the Zoom tool to take this image to 100%. Now when we zoom on this image, we see for the most part it's sharp, I was shooting it with the 70-200 lens except that ISO 1600 is just giving me some problems up in here. Now how then can I correct that? Well one technique that we can use is actually kind of interesting. We will go ahead and Right-click and choose Convert to Smart Objects, I go ahead and double- click on in that layer Fly for this flying motorcycle guy and then I'm going to navigate to my Filter pulldown menu, now I choose Blur and Surface Blur. Well, what Surface Blur can do is, it can allow us to find areas that are somewhat similar and then reduce the Noise on those areas.
So, I'm going to go ahead and increase the overall Radius here and then slowly bring up my Threshold. Now if I bring up my threshold too far, we are going to start to see that it will blur out the character here, the guy, we can see it when I go real exaggerated and right there even you can see how it's a loss of detail on the person, when I click on that. That's the before, let go, that's the after. So I go ahead and keep this really simple. I want a real nice subtle noise reduction. That looks pretty good there. Want to make sure my levels are good, click OK to apply that. Now let's zoom in even further so we can see how we have done. Here is our before and after. Well so far so good, except one of things I'm noting is that I have reduced noise on the guy, which I don't like, i.e I have lost detail there. How can I fix that? Well I click on that layer, grab one of my Selection tools, like the Quick Select tool, I'll go ahead and paint around this guy and go ahead and navigate around here and just make some quick selections. I'm not trying to be too careful here, because I want these selections to be somewhat rough, simply because, I know they can be, because we have such a strong solid background color there.
I'm going to make sure I get the entirety of the motorcycle or at least most of it and again this is a demo, so I'm not going to get all the little tiny details but that looks pretty good for a real rough selection. Little bit more on the shoe here and then up there, then click into the mask layer. I'll now fill with black. That's Option+Delete on the Mac/Alt+Delete on a PC. So we brought some of the nice detail back on the guy. Go to select the Deselect, now we need to reselect this area right. So we will go ahead and click in there hold down the Shift key, click right here and then click in our mask, press Command+Delete on a Mac/Ctrl+Delete on a PC. Let's take a look at how we are doing, before and after. Well so far what we are seeing is that, yeah we definitely reduced a lot of the noise from the background. Here is our before and here is our after.
Now, one of the things that's kind of nice about Smart Filters that we haven't talked about is you can actually add to this. So I'm going to go ahead and navigate to Filter and then I'm going to choose Blur and Surface Blur one more time. Now this time what I'm going to do is lower my Threshold and Radius way down. I'm going to zoom pretty far in here, I'm just going to look at the green structure of this, I'm going to increase my Radius just a touch there, a little tiny bit of Threshold and we can see I'm reducing some of the noise around edges. Click OK to apply that. Now, let's take a look at how we are doing. Here we have two different type of Surface Blur. We have the first one and then that second one which just smoothed things out even further. That will be a little bit tricky to see because I'm zoomed pretty far out, I'll zoom into this part of the helmet, you can see how I'm just cleaning up those edges a touch there. I'll go ahead and zoom out, see if we can catch that view there at all. Well hopefully you can see it a little bit; the sky on my monitor looks so much better.
Again it's going to be tricky to see in this movie because that's a subtle adjustment. Yet one of the things that we are discovering here is that we can use Surface Blur, when we have large areas of similar tones and we want to begin to reduce the noise in those areas and then in addition we can create a mask to limit the adjustment to specific areas, in this case we are limiting it to just the areas that are blue and all right that wraps up my first noise reduction tip for you.
- Sharpening a photograph to make it more vivid
- Reviewing the essentials of retouching
- Understanding the fundamentals of color management
- Creating a layer mask to brighten eyes
- Applying advanced noise reduction using channels
- Using Bridge CS4 to organize and tag the best images
- Processing photographs for print and web publishing

What unites all of humanity?
Our cognitive structure unites all of humanity.
What is our cognitive structure?
SGCS (Second Generation Cognitive Science) has developed empirical evidence to support a revolutionary new comprehension of human cognition. These three major findings of a second generation of cognitive science are:
The mind is inherently embodied.
Thought is moistly unconscious.
Abstract concepts are largely metaphorical.
Taken together, in a gestalt understanding of human cognition, �these three findings from the science of the mind are inconsistent with central parts of Western philosophy�.
Our comprehension of cognition is of fundamental importance to our comprehension of our self and of the world that we inhabit. Our most basic beliefs are tied directly to our comprehension of human reason. �Reason has been taken for over two millennia as the defining characteristic of human beings. Reason includes not only our capacity for logical inference, but also our ability to conduct inquiry, to solve problems, to evaluate, to criticize, to deliberate about how we should act, and to reach an understanding of ourselves.�
The mind is inherently embodied
We have in our Western philosophy a traditional theory of faculty psychology wherein our reasoning is a faculty completely separate from the body. �Reason is seen as independent of perception and bodily movement.� It is this capacity of autonomous reason that makes us different in kind from all other animals. I suspect that many fundamental aspects of philosophy and psychology are focused upon declaring, whenever possible, the separateness of our species from all other animals.
This tradition of an autonomous reason began long before evolutionary theory and has held strongly since then without consideration, it seems to me, of the theories of Darwin and of biological science. Cognitive science has in the last three decades developed considerable empirical evidence supporting Darwin and not supporting the traditional theories of philosophy and psychology regarding the autonomy of reason. Cognitive science has focused a great deal of empirical science toward discovering the nature of the embodied mind.
�These findings of cognitive science are profoundly disquieting [for traditional thinking] in two respects. First, they tell us that human reason is a form of animal reason, a reason inextricably tied to our bodies and the peculiarities of our brains. Second, these results tell us that our bodies, brains, and interactions with our environment provide the mostly unconscious basis for our everyday metaphysics, that is, our sense of what is real...That is to say that the sensorimotor system in the human body can perform the functions required to conceptualize and, infer from those conceptions, in a manner required by human cognition. The logical assumption is that these self same sensorimotor neural networks are the networks the body uses to conceptualize during cognition.�
Thought is mostly unconscious
In the 1970s a new body of empirical research began to introduce findings that questioned the traditional Anglo-American cognitive paradigm of AI (Artificial Intelligence), i.e. symbol manipulation.
This research indicates that the neurological structures associated with sensorimotor activity are mapped directly to the higher cortical brain structures to form the foundation for subjective conceptualization in the human brain. In other words, our abstract ideas are constructed with copies of sensorimotor neurological structures as a foundation. �It is the rules of thumb among cognitive scientists that unconscious thought is 95 percent of all thought�and that may be a serious underestimate.�
Abstract concepts are largely metaphorical
Human reason is an extension of animal reason. The sensorimotor system in the human body can perform the functions required to conceptualize and to infer, i.e. the system controlling bodily movements and perception are theorized to be the same that is used for reasoning and that much of what we thing comes from the unconscious. That which comes from the unconscious has been conceptualized based upon our bodily interaction with the world. We have an embodied mind and the failure to recognize that fact is the primary difference
We constantly make subjective judgments regarding abstract things, such as morality, difficulty, importance; we also have subjective experiences such as affection, desire, and achievement.
The manner in which we reason, and visualize about these matters comes from other domains of experience. �These other domains are mostly sensorimotor domains�as when we conceptualize understanding an idea (subjective experience) in terms of grasping an object (sensorimotor experience)�The cognitive mechanism for such conceptualizations is conceptual metaphor, which allows us to use the physical logic of grasping to reason about understanding.�
Metaphor is pervasive throughout thought and language. Primary metaphors might properly be considered to be the fundamental building blocks for our thinking and our communication through language.
�The integrated theory �the four parts together�has an overwhelming implication: We acquire a large system of primary metaphors automatically and unconsciously simply by functioning in the most ordinary of ways in the everyday world from our earliest days�we all naturally think using hundreds of primary metaphors.�
In summation, we have many hundreds of primary metaphors, which together provide a rich inferential structure, imagery, and qualitative feel. These primary metaphors permit our sensorimotor experiences to be used to create subjective experiences. Thus abstract ideas are created that are grounded in everyday experiences.
In modern society new human science theories take generations to seep into the social consciousness. However, new natural science theories are quickly accepted or rejected; when accepted they can immediately impact the world in which we live.
Darwin informs us that the species that is unable to adapt adequately to the changing environment will quickly becomes toast.
Can our civilization, with such a disparity of innovative conditioning, long survive?

The only that that's ever united humanity; dislike for 'the other'. Communists, Muslims, Immigrants, Homosexuals, the French - everyone unites before a perceived common enemy.

Since the latest AF447 thread in Commercial and Civil Aviation has been hijacked and in any event has almost 250 posts, I am starting this thread in the hope that it will be an evidence-based discussion. To that end, I would respectfully request that posters read the existing facts and evidence as established in the BEA reports, which can be found in English here:
* First Interim Report (July, 2009) http://www.bea.aero/docspa/2009/f-cp...90601e1.en/pdf/f-cp090601e1.en.pdf
* Second Interim Report (November, 2009) http://www.bea.aero/docspa/2009/f-cp...90601e2.en/pdf/f-cp090601e2.en.pdf
* Third Interim Report (July, 2011) http://www.bea.aero/docspa/2009/f-cp...90601e3.en/pdf/f-cp090601e3.en.pdf
* The French version of the Third Report, which contains the CVR data in the original French, can be found at http://www.bea.aero/docspa/2009/f-cp090601e3/pdf/f-cp090601e3.pdf
* Mandala499 has also created an excellent spreadsheet integrating the FDR and CVR data from the BEA reports which can be found here http://bit.ly/uWMF08
In the last two threads, there was a general consensus amongst informed posters that human factors lie at the root of the accident. In September, 2011, the BEA established a "human factors" working group whose mandate is to analyze:
- Crew actions and reactions during the last three phases of the flight described in the third Interim Report, in particular in relation to the stall warning;
- Cockpit ergonomics;
- Man-machine interfaces.
The working group is expected to complete its work by the end of December. BEA has not indicated if the working group's findings and recommendations will then be made public or if they will only be incorporated into the final report, which is expected to be made public in the first half of 2012.

Gators' P Kyle Christy Benched
Source: Jesse Simonton, Miami Herald
GAINESVILLE -- In 2012, Kyle Christy was an All-American and Ray Guy Award finalist. Now he?s Florida?s second-string punter. After weeks of poor production, the junior has been officially benched in favor of freshman Johnny Townsend.
?We need to make a change there,? said coach Will Muschamp, who attributed Christy?s issues to mental fatigue.
?It?s very frustrating, as much for him as it is for anyone,? Muschamp said. ?It?s not from a lack of work or a lack of trying to get things right. There?s no question about that. It?s just a matter of him working through this and us continuing to try and search for answers.?

Price Paid: $25
Very lightweight and well made shirt.

- Comfort

- Size runs small
I bought two of these in the medium size, which turned out to be a little too small in the chest and length. That would be my only critique.
The shirts are very light, wick the sweat well, and are very comfortable. I highly recommend these shirts, just pick one size larger.

Snyder police ask for community's help in ongoing homicide investigation
SNYDER, Texas - Just after 2 a.m. Wednesday, police responded to a shooting in the 200 block of 36th street in Snyder.
Neighbors heard the shots.
"My friend was staying the night with me and she woke me up because we heard gunshots," said Taylor Feinsod.
Police said at least two shots were fired at the home where 25-year-old Justin Vaughn died. Vaughn's wife and three small children were home at the time of the shooting.
"This is an unusual incident. We normally don't have anything like that happen here in Snyder," said Snyder Police Chief Terry Luecke.
Neighbors are worried that the violence could continue.
"I'm really nervous and scared and wondering if it was just that house," said Feinsod.
"This was a quiet calm street all the time...now this happened," said Ronnie Black, who lived in the house across the street from Vaughn.
Chief Luecke said there is not much information to release because the the case is still under investigation.
"We want to make the public aware that we are doing everything we can to work this case and follow up on all information. at this point we do not see that there is any additional threat to the safety of the community," said Luecke.
Residents are finding little comfort with the lack of available information.
"All my relatives and everything, we're all thinking we should maybe get a gun because you never know when something is going to happen," said Frances Hernandez.
Friends and coworkers of Vaughn had no comment on what could have happened that morning.

Starting weight 53.2kgs (119lb)
body fat as per scales 21.3%
Goal; To get under 20 % bodyfat...don't care about scale weight. 18% would be good.
See the impact going primal has on skin allergies, IBS/candida, mood disturbances ie anxiety and lethargy.
Strictly primal eating with dark chocolate on a Friday night with glass of red (my treat).
Training; 3X body weight functional training sessions/week
Lower HR training under 75% for 3 hrs/ week
1 HIIT session of sprints/ week
I am 40 years old(young) pretty fit but really want to shape up my legs etc (usual female curse of all my body fat on lower half) feel happy and full of energy.

Primal Blueprint Explorer My blog for people who are not into the Grok thing. Since starting the blog, I have moved close to being Archevore instead of Primal. But Mark's Daily Apple is still the best source of information about living an ancestral lifestyle.
I am happy to see someone else who is not afraid to eat vegetables!! Good luck.
