Miller's return bright spot on bad night for Steelers
PITTSBURGH -- Tight and Heath Miller made his first start of the season following offseason knee surgery and received a loud ovation when he was introduced with the offense before the game.
He received another one after catching a six-yard pass from Ben Roethlisberger on the Steelers' second offensive snap.
The ninth-year veteran finished with three catches for 35 yards playing limited snaps.
"He was on a snap count for obvious reasons," coach Mike Tomlin said. "It was his first action. It was a good start. We'll continue to progress with him."
Miller was injured in Week 16 last season and underwent reconstructive surgery in January. He was listed as probable on the weekly injury report.
His absence contributed to a slow start by the offense in the first two games, when the Steelers averaged only 9.5 points per game and ranked near the bottom of the league in several major offensive categories.
Miller has been one of Roethlisberger's favorite targets, catching 408 passes for 4,680 yards and 39 touchdowns in his career, including 71 catches for 816 yards and eight scores in 2012.
"It felt good to be back out there with the team, get some action in," Miller said. "It's the first step and hopefully something to build off of."
-- The Steelers rotated rotated three players at offensive tackle, with Kelvin Beachum working in with starters Marcus Gilbert and Mike Adams.
"They hadn't played well enough to justify otherwise," Tomlin said of his starters. "We're going to look at viable guys. We're going to turn the stones over in an effort to find a winning formula, and we're not going to be bashful about that."
-- The Bears' pass rush had been quiet through the first two weeks, producing only two sacks. The third one was a charm.
On the Steelers' third offensive snap, linebacker D.J. Williams came through unblocked on a blitz and stripped Roethlisberger, forcing a fumble that James Anderson recovered at the Pittsburgh 17.
That led to a Matt Forte five-yard touchdown run four plays later and an early 10-0 lead.
The Bears added another sack, also by Williams, on the final play of the first quarter, and sacked Roethlisberger three times in all, including a fourth-quarter strip-sack that turned into a 42-yard fumble return touchdown by Julius Peppers.
"We got good pressure from the pressures we called," Peppers said. "It was effective."
-- One of the game's pivotal matchups figured to be Bears wideout Brandon Marshall versus Steelers cornerback Ike Taylor. Marshall and quarterback Jay Cutler went to work right away, connecting on a nine-yard completion on the first offensive snap.
Taylor later was flagged for interference when he bumped into Marshall on a slant pass in the end zone, setting up the Bears at the 1. That led to a Michael Bush touchdown that made it 17-0 with 2:01 to play in the third quarter.
Marshall also caught a 41-yard pass from Cutler on a fourth-quarter drive that led to a touchdown that gave Chicago a 34-23 lead.
"He made a play," Taylor said of Marshall's reception on a back shoulder fade.
Marshall finished with five catches for 52 yards.
Taylor held Bengals standout receiver A.J. Green to six catches for 41 yards in Week 2.
-- Rookie running back Le'Veon Bell was listed as questionable during the week but was among the Steelers' inactives Sunday.
Bell, sidelined since the second preseason game with a foot sprain, made progress at practice and sounded hopeful about playing against the Bears.
Veteran Felix Jones made his second start in Bell's place.
Extra points: The Steelers' 459 total yards were the most since Dec. 20, 2009 against Green Bay. ... Roethlisberger threw for 406 yards, the fourth-highest total of his career and sixth-most in franchise history. ... Antonio Brown tied a career high with nine catches for a career-high 196 yards and two touchdowns.
-- Inactives: Steelers -- QB Landy Jones, WR Derek Moye, RB Le'Veon Bell, CB Cortez Allen, CB Isaiah Green, C/G Cody Wallace, DT Hebron Fangupo; Bears -- WR Marquess Wilson, CB C.J. Wilson, RB Michael Ford, G James Brown, T Jonathan Scott, DE David Bass, DT Zach Minter.

Uros "2Lions" Jojic
Rich people get richer as they suck on the blood of the poor, who in turn only get poorer, sicker and are left with no medical coverage. Since the dawn of times, those who were on top of the food chain had it better off than the miserable sods that ran around with a huge "I am food" sign stuck on their back. These basic rules apply to everything in life, and that includes the gaming industry. The big boys get all the fun - fast cars, girls and money. They get to release all the AAA titles, while the rest are forced to claw their way to success by picking up bits and crumbs left by the big boys. Things get even harder for the little guys if they come from Poland or any other small European country. Your reputation equals a big round zero, and your budget isn't exactly good enough to ensure a high-profile launch. No Sir, if you're Techland and want to publish Chrome in the states with the help of Strategy First, you better make sure your game is up to par, or you can kiss your American dreams goodbye. So did Techland succeed in their mission improbable? Read on to find out.
I know I'm supposed to do something here... but what?
Ah, standing above these vents reminds me of Marilyn.
Chrome is a tactical FPS that takes place in the future during the colonization of the newly discovered solar system of Valkyria. The story takes place among the huge and wild terrains of five planets, within the residential complexes of the first settlers, deep within mines rich with precious minerals and inside the headquarters of the powerful corporations fighting among themselves over the unique riches of Valkyria. The riches in question are called Chrome. It's like black gold back in the days. Everyone wants it and there are corporations out there willing to slaughter a few thousand innocent lambs to get it. It ain't easy getting by in Valkyria, but our savvy hero, Logan, is up to the task. Ever since he was set up by his ex partner, Logan has been doing everything in his power to make sure he sees all the angles. He has become a bounty hunter and now he roams the universe with his female navigator in search of lucrative business opportunities. He doesn't let himself get too emotionally involved and all that crap. As things usually go in games, Logan is sucked into a huge conspiracy involving Chrome, innocent people and has to get out of it with his head still attached to his shoulders. The plot unfolds quite nicely as you progress through the game. Logan is forced to make a few crucial choices during his adventures and these major plot branches have sufficient enough reasons behind them to make them seem fairly credible and less pathetic. The dialogue is passable and even funny at times. I won't reveal any more of the narrative, but, seeing how the plot outline reminds me a little of Unreal 2, I can safely say that the world in Chrome is more consistent and plausible (taken with a grain of salt, of course).
If we're to take this Unreal 2 comparison a bit farther, it becomes clear that Chrome also features meatier and more substantial gameplay, with plenty of additions that Unreal 2 was sorely lacking. Chrome may not have as much style, finesse and flair in terms of the visuals and art design as Unreal 2, but it sure as hell offers a more elaborate and addictive gameplay experience with plenty of cool things that should keep every sci-fi shooter fan happy for days. The people at Techland managed to create a huge world, with large maps, vehicles you can drive, biomechanical implants, stealth-based missions and more. To top it off, they've wrapped it all up in a decent story that keeps players interested as they progress through the single-player mode. I must admit the rather unattractive weapon and player models initially put me off, but the actual game design grabs you by the shirtfront and drags you inside the world of Chrome and keeps you going, making you forget these minor cosmetic downsides. The ability to drive cool futuristic vehicles over long distances only to get out and engage in stealth-based combat that requires you to use your various implants and cloaking devices to breach enemy defenses, adds a special touch to the game that makes you feel like you're a part of the game world, and not just a drone being railed on a certain path and carrying out short missions. (Not that there's anything wrong with highly linear design when done right.) Chrome is a different type of shooter, however, and as such, it's pretty damn good. The vast terrain, which you cover in each of the missions, will ensure that you feel less restricted by the environments and often times you'll even be able to choose the order in which to finish your objectives. Not exactly open-ended gameplay at its finest, but it does create an illusion of one. Chrome's puzzles are definitely not one of the key elements of gameplay. They usually come down to "memory"-like mini games, and finding the right equipment to smash. Chrome's challenges lie in mastering your opponents with brute force or the use of stealth. While you're at it you'll also get a chance to artificially enhance your abilities, drive Mech-like "Walkers," engage in buggy chases and more. The single player campaign is pretty damn big in every way, and that ensures constant variety, nice twists, and a few interesting boss encounters.
As far as the technical aspects of the game are concerned, I must give plenty of praise to the very good and believable AI code. Baddies can hear and see you, use advanced military tactics like flanking and much more. Here are two excellent examples. The enemy naturally won't see you when you're cloaked, but it will damn-well detect automatic doors opening for no reason. That's about as "real" as AI code gets these days. Another good example is when you try to ambush a patrol. Instead of running blindly at you, they will spread and while one of them draws your fire, the others will try to seize the opportunity to flank you. My only beef with the AI code is that they occasionally appear too damn alert and far too accurate with their weapon. Chrome follows certain, specific, rules of engagement. Some of these rules have to do with the weapons and some with the extremely accurate AI. You can rarely go storming into a room, all guns blazing, as the baddies will have no trouble drilling a few in your skull. You have to make sure to bring your gun up and use the "iron sight view," crouch and remain cool under fire. Slow and accurate duels are the way to go in this game.
Nice! Don't mind if I do!
I have a thing about trees, ya know...
This brings me to one of its downsides. The guns are fairly unbalanced. Although there's plenty of them (standard fare: rifles, side arms, rocket launchers, sniper rifles) you can pretty much get by with an assault rifle and a silenced side arm for the stealthier tasks. Sometimes, you'll need a rocket launcher or a sniper rifle to ice some hard-to-reach guards, or wreck a few "Walkers," but other than that, you'll rarely carry any other weapons aside from the ones I've mentioned. You can pick up and drop weapons along the way, so just use the specialist weapons once and discard them. Overall, I would've liked to have seen and used a more balanced arsenal that would provide even more variety to the gameplay.
Other minor drawbacks include some examples of repetitive model and level design, and a few clunky interface solutions, like not being able to simply walk over your enemies to pick up useful items. This, however, is not a glaring drawback, so don't worry about it too much. That's just your jaded reviewer writing crap to make the review longer and more "in-depth."
I've already mentioned that Chrome lacks finesse when it comes to art design. The models look less than spectacular. They're kind of dull and uniform. Although the vehicles and certain parts of the game world look good (with lush flora and even some indigenous life) the art design is not nearly as imaginative or consistent as it could've been. That's just how I see it anyway. You may disagree with me entirely for all I know. Technically, the engine works quite well. It makes seamless transitions between outdoor and indoor environments. The physics model is decent, with some nice rag doll effects and such. The only thing I didn't like about it is the way buggies and speeders seem to stop dead in their tracks when they hit smaller trees and shrubbery. By and large, with a little code tweaking and some more talented artists, this lack of finesse and flare can be easily corrected, as it's mostly superficial in its nature.
The musical soundtrack is very good and brings loads of drama to the action scenes. The voice over's are mostly good, although there will be a few times when they'll sound flat and unprofessional. Luckily, Strategy First hired some native English speakers to make the game sound suitable for the stateside gamers.
In closing, I should note that Chrome comes bundled with a fully featured multiplayer option. Good stuff, considering you can have yourself a sci-fi Battlefield-like experience going with your buddies or over the net. Coupled with a meaty single-player mode, online play ensures that Chrome has a decent dose of replay value.
So did Techland succeed in their mission improbable? The short answer is yes. Certain areas of the game need more work to go toe to toe with the 900lbs gorillas of the genre - even better dialogue, voicing, art design, simpler interface solutions. On the whole, however, Chrome's strong points make it a shooter worth playing. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a good, albeit rough around the edges shooter experience.
8.1 Very Good
Immersive game world, solid mission design, AI code, vehicles;
Rough around the edges, unbalanced arsenal, AI unfairly tough at times.

Changes in Store for Some Taxpaying Immigrants
Contrary to popular belief, many illegal immigrants in the U.S. pay federal taxes — through what's called an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, or ITIN. But new tax rules effective this month mean some changes for taxpayers using those numbers. Read the full story at KUT News.

Have you exported the PATH after setting it? What shell are you using?

It depends on what shell, and possibly which OS you're using. A more
detailed question will result in better answers.

I'm using the white classic controller.
Was too stingy to give up the extra bucks to get the golden controller added on.

I'm on the Golden Classic Controller as well... the NunChuk is awful!

Koopa - Be prepared to kill plumbers!
you guys need to use the wii-mote/nunchuck.
a little practise and you'll be laughing........
thats laughing, whilst popping your head round corners.
i always wondered why some people move in such a blocky way near corners. then i was told that the classic controller etc does NOT allow peaking round corners.
I've been using the Nunchuk and Wiimote. I actually perform better by using motion controls and I usually get 30-50 kills per heroes match.

Wiimote and the chuck all the way. I had little trouble getting used to it when playing Metroid prime 3, and really enjoyed how it played like the wiimote was a mouse. One trick a girl i worked with told me she used was to play with a pillow on her lap for the hand with the wiimote in it. It helped steady her hand i'm guessing. my girlfriend has tried to use that but it didn't seem to help her much for keeping the crosshair steady. Besides the peeking around corners, melee is a lot easier than reaching for a button, its just a shake. I will admit that i still have some trouble losing my crosshairs and getting the ∅ symbol but after so much playing i can recover quick enough.
I'm done tryin to play with any of you. You're never online. so go ahead and delete me c':
I prefer to use the Gamecube controller, but I will use the Wii Remote if I have to.
Classic controller is the best IMO.

April 15th, 2011
So, this week I am at the annual meeting of the Northeastern Association of Graduate Schools, necessarily called NAGS. We're in Boston, where the Canadians aim to beat the Bruins in the first playoff round. I was tempted to bring my Habs sweater but then thought better of it. I actually like Boston and sometimes even the Bruins, and so why look for trouble?
A few themes are emerging here. A panel on attitudes and expectations of changing faculty emphasized the gap between Boomers, such as most of us in this room, and Millennials and Gen Xers, who are less well represented at this gathering. We all know the commonplaces about the differences. Ostensibly, Boomers are careerist, Type A's, driven to work hard and sacrifice everything else in their life to getting ahead. Millennials are more laid back, collaborative, less driven to success in the academy than they are to achieving a healthy work life balance. Really? Not sure I really buy this, but, again, I decided not to look for trouble and challenge the well meaning panelists.
Well, who knows if this emerging generation will change institutional behavior? I am less sanguine about this, perhaps because as a Boomer I believe institutions are as difficult to turn around as supertankers. And because, as Harvard Professor Lou Menand has argued so well in his The Marketplace of Ideas, we are the institutions, we are the ones who perpetuate and reproduce the values in and criteria for success in the professions that we ourselves constructed. How likely are we to relax our time-honored ways of assessing promotion and tenure files, of evaluating contributions to research and teaching? We give a lot of lip service to making changes to a more balanced set of expectations, but I do not yet see much evidence of this.
Further, there are so few jobs these days in the academy that I wonder how too few new and younger hires will be able to effect such major changes. It will take time, if it happens at all. One younger woman in the room observed that she had decided to seek employment outside the academy, preferring to avoid the kind of work-intensive, under compensated pathway her profs had expected her to take. Instead, following her PhD program, she headed for the hills of society, secure and comfortable in a job that drew on her training but did not compel her to compete for the small stakes of a university career.
I am not quite sure why she is here at this conference, but she is precisely the kind of graduate we need to keep track of. This leads to another theme here: the challenges of finding out where our masters and doctoral students end up. It is as difficult to find them in the USA as it is in Canada. Some schools are good at it, for a while. Most lose track of their contacts after a few years. The entrepreneurial among us are working through social media sites, but these are not fully satisfactory ways of collecting the data. Self- reported data is pretty lame, and only as good as the data your subjects are willing to give. Unverifiable, this information needs to be taken with a grain of chalk.
Finally, we are hearing a lot about demographic trends. This theme keeps coming up at conferences like this, as it becomes more and more evident that the northeastern side of this continent is vulnerable to a full emptying out of its eligible university student pool. It's bad enough that people aren't having babies in the urban-dense northeast, but migratory patterns indicate that more and more people are moving westward. As families and their children light out for the territories there is a real danger of diminishing recruitable cohorts to our university programs. Are the Millennials moving west because a sunnier lifestyle awaits them, one more suitable to their Millennial expectations? Near a good beach?
Here in Boston we are asking, who should be taking responsibility for this information? Everyone wants to know where have all the grad students gone? Well, just who is going to take hold of that project?

To review our center's experience with the United Network of Organ Sharing six-antigen—matched (6-AgM) kidney program. Specifically, to determine whether recipients of 6-AgM cadaver kidney transplants have less perioperative and short-term (<1 year) morbidity in comparison with living-related donor (LRD) recipients and a control group of immunologically less well-matched cadaver recipients.
A retrospective review of all solitary kidney transplantations performed over a 24-month period, from 1992 to 1993.
A large urban tertiary care referral center with a long history of renal and extrarenal transplantation.
Adult patients receiving a solitary kidney transplant from either a cadaver or a living donor.
Main Outcome Measures:
Mortality, morbidity, and patient and graft survival. Other variables measured included rejection episodes, length of stay, readmissions, postoperative complications, waiting time, and delayed postoperative graft function.
Recipients of 6-AgM kidney transplants were at higher risk than the control groups of cadaver and LRD recipients, with more retransplantations, higher sensitization, and more with diabetes. There were fewer rejection episodes in the 6-AgM group, and these were more steroid responsive. They had fewer hospital days (22.6 days) in the first year following transplantation, compared with the remaining cadaver group (28 days). The delayed postoperative graft function rate was also significantly lower than that of the cadaver control group. Graft and patient survival were excellent for all groups. Analysis of these factors showed similar results when comparing the LRD and 6-AgM groups and a marked improvement over the cadaver control group.
Identical HLA matching for cadaver recipients provides superior results for graft and patient survival. There is much less perioperative morbidity in comparison with the less well-matched cadaver recipients. The effect of HLA matching is reflected in the perioperative courses of these patients, in addition to the long-term benefits of graft survival. Allograft survival is superior for this select group of cadaver recipients. The 6-AgM recipients behave similarly to LRD recipients in this cohort of patients. Our results would support the continued sharing of 6-AgM kidneys to optimize outcome and best use the limited resources available to the patients undergoing transplantation.(Arch Surg. 1995;130:277-282)

Small but nice! Everything OK! I would book the hotel again.
Klein aber fein! Alles in Ordnung! Ich würde die Unterkunft wieder buchen.
I had a nice holiday in Cracow.
The apartment is located between Kazimierz and Stare Miasto.
Everything in walking distance.
Drawback: 4th floor – under the roof.
Apartment is pretty clean and quiet (not always).
WIFI works okay (though it could be a little faster).
TV offers only Polish stations.
But there is a very strong fan. Wash your clothes – they will be dry within hours.
Robert offers some service: Pick-up from airport (90 PLN), organization of sighteseeing-trips...
If I come back to Cracow I will try to rent this apartment again.
Have a nice stay.
The apartment was in an ideal location, and with a well equipped kitchen. Robert was very helpful and the place was easy to find and access
simple, clean, quiet, perfectly located between old town and kazimier
only shower handle should be repared
Everything was fine!
The apartment was certainly not an idyll. It was a small apartment in a backyard and with only a window to the back yard. Very dark apartment and poorly equipped with glass and tallerkener.Egner only for 2 people. Furniture consisted of two sofa beds one of which was used as a bed, but only a sheet and a duvet + 2 small pillows.
The heat in the room does not work, no cold water in the kitchen. Old dining table with four old wooden chairs, miserable. The apartment was the worst we have stayed in nogensinde.På spite of reprimand to the host was never cold water in the kitchen.
We are experienced travelers and also takes bad things as an experience, but this was a bad oplevelse.Ordet idyll should be changed to sleep. WiFi codes were listed on a spread over the TV, but it was wrong codes, so it was only solved by SMS and telephone to host two days before we got it right netflink and password.
The host was not engaging.
Some might call the apartment romantic, others would like us to call it something old dung.
The only star is for the short distance to Krakow's delights ..
Lejligheden var bestemt ikke en idyl. Det var en lille lejlighed i en baggård og med kun et vindue ud til baggården. Meget mørk lejlighed og dårligt udstyret med glas og tallerkener.Egner sig kun til 2 personer. Møbler bestod af 2 sovesofaer hvoraf den ene blev brugt som seng, men kun et lagen og en dyne + 2 små hovedpuder.
Varme i stuen fungerer ikke, intet koldt vand i køkkenet. Gammelt spisebord, med fire gamle træstole, elendigt. Lejligheden var den dårligste vi har boet i nogensinde.På trods af påtale til værten kom der aldrig koldt vand i køkkenet.
Vi er rutinerede rejsende og tager også dårlige ting som en oplevelse, men dette var en dårlig oplevelse.Ordet idyl burde ændres til slum. WiFi koder var noteret på et opslag over TV, men det var forkerte koder, så det blev kun løst ved SMS og telefon til værten 2 dage, inden vi fik den rigtige netflink og password.
Værten var ikke serviceminded.
Nogle vil måske kalde lejligheden romantisk, andre vil som os kalde det noget gammelt møg.
Den eneste stjerne er for den korte afstand til Krakows herligheder..
The apartment is located very centric and is quiet. Great communication with Robert.
Very centrally located on the Old Town and the Jewish Quarter. Despite heavy traffic street, very quiet, as in the backyard.
Sehr zentral an der Altstadt und dem jüdisches Viertel. Trotz stark befahrener Straße, sehr leise, da im hinterhof.
Hello There. Accommodation was fine, but the kitchen equipment was unbefriedigend.Pfanne was not gebrauchen.Rost and curved pan base. No bottle, no corkscrew. Breakfast includes a toaster. A coffee maker would be useful.
Otherwise very satisfied.
Hallo. Unterkunft war in Ordnung, jedoch die Küchenausstattung war unbefriedigend.Pfanne war nicht zu gebrauchen.Rost und gebogener Pfannenboden. Kein Flaschenöffner, kein Korkenzieher. Zum Frühstück gehört ein Toaster. Eine Kaffeemaschine wäre sinnvoll.

Multiple Shootings at Millard South High School and Chandler Mall Affect StudentsCarolyn Castiglia
As Meredith noted earlier, Omaha, Nebraska police found 17-year-old Millard South High School student Robert Butler dead today after shooting his principal, Dr. Curtis Case, and assistant principal Vicki Kaspar. Case is in serious condition and Kaspar is in critical condition. Millard South High School will be closed tomorrow.
Meanwhile, in Chandler, Arizona, "400 students and 48 staff at Kyrene del Sureno Elementary School were placed on lockdown about 12:50 p.m." today as a result of an armed standoff at the Chandler Fashion Center. The gunman, Adam Hernandez, let off several shots as he entered a Baja Fresh fast-food restaurant, where he remained for several hours. He surrendered at 3 p.m. and no one was injured. The East Valley Tribune reports that "Another 60 students from Aprende Middle School who would normally be bussed into the neighborhood by the mall were kept at their school and supervised by staff."
Meredith noted in her post about the shooting at Millard South High School, "the school district plans on investigating how Butler was able to bring a gun to school." No one under the age of 21 is allowed to own a gun in the state of Nebraska, and given that Butler essentially warned his victims via a grimly cryptic message on his Facebook page this morning, something should have been done to stop this shooting.
As I stated less than a month ago in response to the Florida school board shooting, beefed-up security measures in schools are "just a stop-gap measure, a band-aid trying to heal the much larger wound inflicted by lax gun laws in the United States." It appears that Butler stole his firearm from his police detective father, though this has not been confirmed. Butler should never have had access to a gun.
It's worth emphasizing that this is the third school shooting we've written about in as many months. It's been less than three months, actually, since the Marinette stand-off, and only just over two months, in fact. I'm concerned not only about the isolation students in American schools are feeling, coupled with the bullying they receive, but how that's impacted by our culture's glamorization of violence combined with the unfortunate access these students (and in the case of the Florida shooting, ex-cons) have to firearms. Put simply, I don't know what this world is coming to.
This is an epidemic. It's time to do something. At the very least, stop and take a moment to talk to your children about the social climate at their school and about avoiding violent conflict. As a parent, I know I can't heal the world, but I can do everything in my power to keep my child safe and feeling whole. Like my colleague John, I'm praying tonight that every parent out there feels the same, so that kids like Robert Butler feel enough love from somewhere to think twice before going anywhere near a gun.

Coach: Monte Trusty (5th season)
Last year: Windsor dominated Class 4A wrestling and brought home the state title for the second straight year at the Pepsi Center in Denver. The Wizards also went undefeated in dual meets and won their third straight regional title after finishing 23-0 on the season and 7-0 in league competition.
Key wrestlers: Joel Salomon, sr.; Jonathan Lewis, jr.; Cosme Martinez, sr.; Vinny Gonzales, sr.
Did you know? The team competes among some of the top teams nationally at meets in Texas in January and South Dakota next week, marking a dramatic rise in rankings over Trusty's tenure.
Trusty's comments: "These kids have dedicated themselves to training with a purpose and high-level goal at the end. The stuff that happens during the season is all a by-product of what happened the other eight months. (To be) a powerhouse – you can't do that by opening the doors in November and closing the doors in February. Not going to happen. We seek out the highest level of competition – we go all across the country. We take our lumps all over and the come back to our little state of Colorado and it seems pretty good then. I just can't wait to watch the guys compete. They're ready to get a hold of somebody from a different school with a different colored singlet."
Season outlook: Trusty was hesitant to describe Windsor as a current wrestling powerhouse, but he said the team is well on its way. "That's definitely the goal, but I think we have a long ways to go before you can use that term," he said. "That's what we're after though." Being no stranger to state championships, the Wizards will look to Salomon, who Trusty described as one of the top wrestlers to come through the program — ever. If they can harness those powers of new and returning athletes, a title could very well come back to Windsor for the third straight year.
First match: The Wizard Duals on Saturday in Windsor got everyone's feet wet ahead of tough matchups Friday and Saturday at the Rapid City Invitational in South Dakota.

Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo's upcoming wedding will be a group affair: His Maroon 5 bandmates will have key roles in the nuptials.
Levine's best man will be longtime pal and keyboard player Jesse Carmichael, according to guitarist James Valentine, who spilled the details in an interview with Australian radio station 2DayFM, ABC News reported.
Carmichael recently returned to the band after a hiatus, and his ties to Levine, 35, run deep, dating back to when they first became friends as kids.
"Those guys go back," Valentine said. "What's interesting about the band is, I've been with the band for 15 years but I'm still one of the 'new' members!"
Still, Valentine will have an important role in the festivities: He's set to play some solo acoustic guitar (a "nice little medley" of Beatles tunes, he shared) as guests enter the ceremony.
So is the sexy groom-to-be, who got engaged in July 2013, feeling the nerves just yet?
"I think he's really excited," Valentine told ABC News Radio. "I expected him to be more nervous. They're very amped up. They're very happy. It's going to be really fun."
And it seems as if the once-wild rock star has found his match in Prinsloo.
"They're so much fun to be around together," Valentine adds. "I'm very
happy for them."
The band's next album, V, is set to be released in September.

Mercyhurst's Altavilla named Daktronics' D-II Pitcher of Year
Mercyhurst's Dan Altavilla was named the Daktronics' Ron Lenz Division II Pitcher of the Year and also was named a first-team All-American by both Daktronics and the National Collegiate Baseball Writers' Association.
The junior right-hander is the first PSAC pitcher to earn the award, which was created in 2007. He also is the first Lakers player to earn first-team All-America honors since Justin Santonocito did it in 1998.
Altavilla already has been named the Atlantic Region Pitcher of the Year from ABCA/Rawlings, Daktronics, and the NCBWA, and is still eligible for All-American status from ABCA/Rawlings. He also was named the PSAC West Pitcher of the Year and was a CoSIDA Academic All-District selection.
The Greenock, Pa., native went 9-1 with an NCAA-leading five shutouts, and a 1.23 earned-run average in 12 starts this season. In 80 1/3 innings, Altavilla struck out a school-record 129 batters and limited opponents to a .167 batting average.

[QUOTE=Jena;968654]Lol... is this a common policy because my old gym had the same rule. I just started cracking up when I read it on the disclosure page. The guy said something like it made other gym members uncomfortable. I told him that I doubt I would care either way.[/QUOTE]
I think it sort of is - although some franchises, like Powerhouse, don't seem to have these policies.
My old gym sort of had one, but we typically ignored it. I did get some rubberized plates for my dead lifts (I use the Pavel no-negative method). But I also used to do sprints with a sled, and the plates used to clang like the subway!
Mostly just staff would gripe about the noise - but not as if they were going to prohibit me. As my wife used to say to people who would complain about noise at the gym: "you know, it's not a library!"
One more thing about Planet F - I find it really funny/ironic that they now sponsor the Biggest Loser. If people did those kinds of workouts at a PF, they would get tossed!
It depend on body. If your body want to relax then you should relax. after that it will make normal.
Hated planet fitness. I go through cycles. In the spring and summer I love working out on trails and a good park. All you need are some heavy rocks, monkey bars, and platforms! Right now I'm in the gym a lot. Switched over to Globo- Gym (la fitness). I love it bc they have everything... I even sneak around and use some of their aerobic rooms for wall balls and drills.
I have the same debate with myself, and am sticking with home workouts for now, to save $ and time. I'm not that strong so the body weight exercises are plenty for me for now. I do the "sprints" on a home rowing machine because I have knee issues and need low impact. But the comments here about diet alone ring true for my house. My 6'3" husband hasn't added any exercise to his schedule, which includes about 40 min of walking a day, but has gone from 275lb to 240lb in 4 months by ditching starches, grains, and sugar.
I'd ditch the gym as well. The wife and I used to go to a Washington Sports Club after we got married. After 6 months it just got way too old. I wound up picking up a dumbbell set (5lb. through 50lb), dumbbell rack, and bench for significantly less than a 1 year membership. Nothing quite like coming home after a days work, hitting up the mini basement gym, shower, and make dinner/eat dinner all before 7pm.
Find a good squat rack, which also serves for bench pressing and pullups such as this that I have:
[url=http://www.hoistfitness.com/consumer/equipment/hf-4970.aspx]HF-4970 Squat Rack | HOIST Fitness[/url]
And a good power station for dips and pullups like this one:
[url=http://www.betterhealthinnovations.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=SPI-50-1700&utm_source=GoogleShop&gdftrk=gdfV21404_a_7c656_a_7c4977_a_7cSPI_d_50_d_1700&gclid=CPuC9KTJ5bICFayPPAodJxkAEw]Stamina 1700 Power Tower Dip Knee Raise Pullup Station VKR[/url]
This should be all you need to get a good workout at home. We only have one car, so about 1/3 of my garage has this equipment plus a weight plate stand.
Home would probably be better if you willing to invest a few hundred dollars for equipment. Equipment = power rack, barbell, weight plates, bench.
The Gym is great. Nobody nagging you to help with homework, take out the trash, or wash the car. You don't have to stock the toilet paper, wash the towels, or sweep the floors. It's just you, your body, and the equipment. Other than that I really don't see much reason to go to the gym.
Also depends on how self motivated you are! If you tend to use the gym regularly, but put off home workouts, or don't find yourself working out as hard at home, then the gym is a good idea.

Heritage is no ordinary history or Western civilization course. It is a wide-ranging study of the history of ideas, cultures, religions, creative works, and pivotal problems that have shaped humanity for thousands of years. Beginning with fossils and ending with speculations about the future, this program brings together history, literature, philosophy, religion, and the arts in an integrated approach to the study of Western culture as part of a global cultural history. It is the equivalent of two year-long courses. For more information about the Heritage program, please look through the information at this website and feel free to contact any of our faculty or staff.

There was a moment during the height of the real estate bubble when it seemed as if there was a soaring condo tower planned for every available site on Philadelphia's Delaware waterfront. In the end, very little got built. But the speculative frenzy produced one very good result: It prompted the Nutter administration to complete a high-minded master plan aimed at turning the city's abandoned docklands into a real neighborhood.
A funny thing has happened in the three months since the planning commission approved that long-awaited waterfront plan. Housing developers have started heading down to the river again.
And, just as quickly, some of the plan's high-minded notions have been cast aside by city officials giddy at the prospect of new construction on the Delaware.

The Secret Life of Flowers

(page 1 of 3)
While a delightful symbol of late spring blushing into the glorious stretch of summer, an alpine meadow tossed with wildflowers represents so much more than a bending, nodding wave of blue and magenta, gold and crimson. Wildflowers are essential to the health of our environment. They feed insects, birds, and even humans, hold the soil together, and serve as a base for many modern medicines—in fact, flowering plants provide almost 25 percent of the basic ingredients for our modern drugs. Long before European settlement, Native American Indians were masters at using plants medicinally and written records exist from the ancient Greeks who first identified and categorized plants as early as 300 B.C. The following guide includes nomenclature, myths and some little known facts for a small sampling of the many wildflowers found beside the streams, along the hillsides, and hidden among the rocky crevasses of our Idaho landscape.

Fleas love warm weather, and so do dogs. And the inevitable occurs: Just as the weather entices your dog to spend long, lazy days lounging in the sun, out come the fleas, hungry for a feast.
Will the annual battle against fleas ever end? Chances are, this war will be eternal. "It's a long-term war, one battle after another," says James Noxen, DVM, veterinary clinical sciences professor and staff dermatologist at Iowa State College of Veterinary Medicine in Ames.
Ironically, part of the reason our pets probably will never be flea-free: Use of flea-control products forces reproduction of fleas resistant to them, says Dina Richman, an urban entomologist who specializes in flea control in the entomology and nematology department at the University of Florida, Gainsville. "The more fleas are exposed to these products, the faster they develop resistance," she says "We are forcing nature to select the most resistant fleas because the ones that survive our pest-control efforts are the ones that keep breeding, and they pass on that resistance to their offspring."
Eternal battle or not, you can win control over a flea problem in your home and on your dog, and do so with greater ease and speed than ever.Fleas are more than a nuisance. A single bite can send a severely allergic dog into a literal tailspin of itching, scratching and biting called flea bite dermatitis. A severe infestation can make your dog anemic through blood loss, and if it swallows a flea, the flea could transmit tapeworms. In rare cases, fleas can even transmit bubonic plague to humans. You don't want them around.
Still you find them sneaking up your dog's tail or leaping from its favorite spot onto you. "My dog was really bad last year," says Dana Veatch of Atlanta, owner of Bronte, a 6-year-old Boxer. "I tried everything that's supposed to work. I bombed the house, gave her flea baths, had her on an adulticide and an insect growth regulator, and the next day all she had to do was go outside once and she was covered again. I could see 20 or more fleas on her at one time." Unfortunately for Veatch and anyone else who lives in a moderate climate, fleas love mild temperatures and high humidity.
But warm locations aren't the only places fleas favor. Flea problems began for Ben Anderson and his Golden Retriever/American Eskimo mix, Sabbath, in Iowa City, Iowa, and continued when they moved to Knoxville, Tennessee. Sabbath is allergic to flea bites, Anderson says. "Every fall, he'll scratch himself raw, and his skin becomes so sensitive that even petting him will set him off scratching again." Anderson uses a spot-on treatment, shaves his dog in early August and bathes him in a medicated shampoo specially formulated to cool the itch of fleabite dermatitis. Sabbath suffers despite his owner's best efforts and with more than itchy skin. "Every year for the last three years, he's gotten tapeworms," Anderson says. "He'll get them before I even see a single flea."
How can you keep fleas out of your house and off your dog? Luckily, flea control has advanced in recent years, making it easier than ever.
The most effective course of action: Treat your dog with one a spot-on adulticides, such as imidacloprid or fipronil, and treat either the dog or its environment with an insect growth regulator, such as lufenuron or pyriproxyfen, Richman says. "Adulticides and insect growth regulators target different life stages of the flea. Using an insect growth regulator in conjunction with the adulticide causes those females that survive the adulticide long enough to breed, to lay nonviable eggs. That would be the perfect plan."
Your Weapons
The adulticides, most commonly applied on your dog's skin between the shoulder blades, last about a month. Because they spread over the skin but aren't absorbed into the bloodstream, they are considered less toxic than other products.
Insect growth regulators come in many forms but can be categorized into two classes of compounds: chitin synthesis inhibitors, or CSIs, and juvenile hormone analogues, or JHAs. "CSIs disrupt molting, killing the insect during the process," Richman says. Also, eggs exposed to a CSI won't hatch. JHAs prevent the insect from reaching adulthoodimportant because adult fleas are the pest stage."
Insect growth regulators can be used to treat carpets, dog beds and the yard. Although they're safe for pets and homes, use as little as possible. "If you are treating your home with an IGR, you may only need to treat your pet with an adulticide," Richman says. "And only treat your home and yard in the areas your pet frequents. Spraying pesticide everywhere is irresponsible."
Also consider some of the combination products. One combines the lufenuron and heartworm preventive. Another, a spot-on treatment, combines pyriproxyfen, one of the most effect and long-lasting insect growth regulators, with a pyrethrin-based adulticide. Both products make life with a dog a little simpler.
"The only reason to use other products like flea collars, for example, is cost," says Kenneth Weigel, DVM, a veterinarian at Palo Alto, California. Monthly use of adulticides and IGRs can get expensive, he says. For mild flea problems, if a less expensive product works and isn't too toxic, you have no reason to spend more money.
Some natural products have been proven effective, such as limonene and borate powders. Borate powders are best applied by a professional; excessive inhalation can endanger humans and pets. Borates are great if you don't want to put insect growth regulators in your home; like IGRs, they target immature fleas.
If you have money to spare and prefer a natural approach, they may be worth a try, especially as a preventive or if your flea problem isn't too severe. But don't assume "natural" means safe. Some natural products are highly toxic.
Don't forget the good old-fashioned 100 percent nontoxic flea comb. "I'm a big advocate of flea combs," says Noxen, who suggested pet owners use them regularly to remove fleas from pets. Bill Fitzgerald of Bartlett, Illinois, companion to a 9-year-old black Labrador Retriever named Tess, also strongly supports flea comb use. "I comb Tess every three to four days, and that takes care of all the fleas," he says. Fitzgerald also lives in an apartment with wood floors and no carpeting, and vacuums frequently all of which discourage fleas.
Winning the War
Meanwhile, scientist's research new and better flea-control methods. "There won't be anything new in the short term, but in the long term, we'll be seeing a lot of sophisticated attempts to use the animal's immune system against the fleas," Noxen says. One way this could be accomplished is through a flea vaccine, which many scientists are researching. "A flea vaccine could go two way," Richman explains. "The flea could bite the animal, then die because of antibodies from the vaccine. But the trouble with that is the fleas still have to bite the animal, and we want a world where fleas never bite the animal. The other option is a vaccine that works on the animal's side to prevent a reaction."Another area of research is geared toward treating fleabite dermatitis. For sensitive dogs, a single bite can trigger a major reaction within 24 hours.
Pay attention to your pet's condition through regular grooming, keep in touch with your veterinarian about the latest flea-control methods, then be diligent and consistent about using the flea-control method you choose.

Girls lacrosse -- Tara Benninger -- Thomas Worthington During the season, her coach didn't really like to talk about it much. But the fact was this: The Cardinals were a whole lot different team when four-year starter Tara Benninger was on the field than when she was not. Case in point -- the Thomas at Dublin Jerome game. When Benninger had to leave the game with a deep bruise, the Cards were comfortably ahead. In the end, Thomas had to scratch out a win in overtime. "Without her voice and leadership, we struggled," said Thomas coach Ally McCarthy. Benninger, a returning first-team All-American and first-team All-Ohioan, also made her presence felt in the box score with more than 70 goals in 2009 as the Cardinals went 17-5, won the North Regional Tournament (Benninger scored five times in the final), and advanced to a state semifinal. Benninger scored three goals in the final Thomas game, a loss to Upper Arlington, "She was our playmaker," McCarthy said. Benninger will attend Miami University in the fall. --PHILLIP KING, columbuslocalnews.com
Boys lacrosse -- Kyle Carey -- Thomas Worthington In the hotbed of boys lacrosse known as Central Ohio, it takes a special player to stand out when he's not in the offensive end. Thomas Worthington defenseman Kyle Carey's coach put it simply in describing his All-American: "Dominant," said Cardinals boss Steve Kraus. "In every game he played, he was the best player on the field." Other Central Ohio coaches would use those same phrases, sometimes in awe of the talent on display. A three-time defensive MVP for Thomas, Carey not only did a shutdown job in his zone, but also took faceoffs and often keyed the Cards' attack. "He started fast breaks, and he was also an offensive threat," Kraus said. "He is just an outstanding player and person." Carey will be playing next year for two-time national champion Syracuse. --PHILLIP KING, columbuslocalnews.com

Eh, plugging in the USB cable and installing the drivers for the first time isn't hard work per se. More like if you lost the USB cable and try Bluetooth.

text: The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Navy Cross to Sergeant Joseph R. Crockett, Jr. (MCSN: 2257776), United States Marine Corps, for extraordinary heroism while serving as a Team Leader with First Force Reconnaissance Company, First Reconnaissance Battalion, FIRST Marine Division (Reinforced), Fleet Marine Force, in connection with operations against the enemy in the Republic of Vietnam. On 23 April 1969, Sergeant Crockett's team was clandestinely observing a major North Vietnamese Army supply route west of An Hoa in Quang Nam Province when the Marines came under a ground assault by an estimated hostile platoon supported by a heavy volume of automatic weapons fire, and in the initial moments of the attack sustained several casualties. Sergeant Crockett seized a grenade launcher from one of his wounded men and moved across 50 meters of exposed terrain to deliver fire upon the enemy. As a group of North Vietnamese soldiers approached his team's defensive perimeter, he quickly killed one and wounded four others; then, having exhausted his ammunition, utilized a radio to adjust supporting artillery fire to within 50 meters of his men. He then ran from one Marine position to another gathering grenades, which he hurled at the hostile soldiers, forcing them to regroup and withdraw. As the enemy soldiers retreated they lighted several brush fires that rapidly spread toward the team's emplacement. Unable to extinguish the flames with his jacket, Sergeant Crockett repeatedly assisted in moving his injured Marines to safety, stopping only to render first aid and deliver suppressive fire upon the North Vietnamese force. In order to expedite evacuation of his critically injured men, he tied an air panel to his back and boldly moved into an open clearing where he stood in full view of the enemy to mark the landing zone for the helicopters and gunships as they arrived on station. Although nearly exhausted, Sergeant Crockett refused to be extracted, and assisted in a search of the vicinity. By his courage, aggressive fighting spirit, and selfless devotion to duty in the face of grave personal danger, Sergeant Crockett upheld the highest traditions of the Marine Corps and the United States Naval Service.General Orders: Authority: Navy Department Board of Decorations and Medals

Earlier this week I was reminded just how painful first car accidents can be.
Without naming names, here is a rough approximation of what happened:
A red light turned green.
The two cars at the front of the line hesitated.
Someone honked.
The third driver in line — the one with the brand new license and her mama's car–startled, surged forward and plowed right into the truck in front of her.
Oh, the tears and regret and shame.
Do you remember when you were 16 and wrapped your hands around the treasured slip of paper allowing you to drive? Remember that sweet-salty rush of joy, independence and terror? And the first wreck that was just about inevitable?
And how miserable you felt?
To make everybody feel a little bit better, would you write about your first accident? Slap it down right here.
P.S. The driver who got plowed into was really understanding. He has a 16-year-old at his house, too.

Why do you need amino acid supplementation? Why not just get them from food?
Hey guys!
I was wondering about a little thing here..
We all need amino acids, right(I guess)? So when I went to the norwegian/swedish border to fill my stock of vitamins, food etc, I noticed some brands in the local health shop of amino acids.
Now, since my options are very limited I was questioning myself as to what type of brands are the best?
It's only between two very different brands, it should be a no-brainer for you amino-experts out there; I certainly have no clue
So what would you choose between these two?
KAL - Amino Acids complex 1000
Solgar Amino 75
P.S: If there are some suggestions for other brands that are better, feel free to lay out your recommendations here.
P.S.S: In KAL, there is an ingredient called hydrolyzed casein, and I am trying to stay away from regular milk, feel free to enlighten me on this subject.
Why do you need amino acid supplementation? Why not just get them from food?
Zone diet on and off for several years....worked, but too much focus on exact meal composition
Primal since July 2010...skinniest I've ever been and the least stressed about food
i second lizch if you eat a good primal diet(ORGANSSSSS) then you should have no problem in the amino acid department
Get on my Level
if you eat enough animal protein, period, you will get sufficient amino acids. that is, after all, what protein is composed of.
my primal journal:
Hey lizch, MalPaz & Saoirse!
Well, I don't know what kind of food I'm supposed to eat to get all the amino acids at once, I'm kinda new at this.
I'm like 80-ish Primal, so organs aren't on my food list, but feel free to help me gather some informations as to where I can get a hold of the ones containing as many of them as I can get.
As to animal protein, I'm eating on a daily basis egg, bacon and beef meat, chicken and fish.
The reason why I was thinking of buying amino acids in a jar is because when I start to work out way more often than I do now, I've read that it's good to "fill up" the body after workout with the essential, at least, amino acids, so that's why I was curious about it..
Meat, eggs, or dairy each contain all of the essential amino acids. You're right that it's a good idea to eat some protein after a workout, especially if you're trying to build muscle... I don't know for sure that it's important to get all the essential amino acids at that time, but just in case, eat an animal protein source and you'll have it covered. =]
There are also some plant products that contain all of them (like soy and quinoa) but I'm not sure any of those are primal.
"mayness, you need to have a siggy line that says "Paleo Information Desk" or something!" -FMN <3
I'm blogging again, at least a little bit.
you know what does? repetition and practice, so put in the time and you will reap the rewards, no powder will do it for you. I recently read a round table discussion on BCAA that included a Martin Berkham (www.leangains.com) who typically recommends BCAA for fasted workouts. He said (i'm paraphrasing from memory) "BCAAs are not at all necessary for people that eat meat somewhat frequently, even for active athletes" but on his site he clears that he still recommends it for early morning fasted training.
I used to think BCAA was directly responsible for my lack of muscle soreness after heavy workouts, then Al Kavadlo pointed out that I may just be getting more conditioned, and thus less prone to serious soreness, now that I'm done with BCAA for a few weeks I have to say he was right. Certain muscle groups (my back, most noticeably) don't get too sore even after heavy weighted workouts, but then again, not a single day passes when I don't do at least 10 pull ups, upwards of 100s if I spread them out through the day, so my back is fairly used to the workload.
On the inverse, I took a short sprint two days ago, not structured, but just decided to haul ass to my car, and now my shin "muscles" (I know that's not accurate but I have no idea what the muscle on the front of your leg is called, the one directly opposite to the calf muscle) is pretty sore, because I have not gone on sprints in over a month.
So, that's my super long way of saying BCAA supplementation may not be all it's cracked up to be.
Last edited by iniQuity; 01-17-2011 at 01:45 PM.
Another interesting consideration, when discussing BCAAs:
A few days ago, Mark had the following blog post, which included the excerpt: "...What's going on here? It comes down to the amino acid composition of dairy proteins, specifically the amino acids leucine, valine, lysine, and isoleucine. These are the truly insulinogenic proteins, and they're highest in whey (which is probably why whey protein elicits the biggest insulin response)."
Dairy and its effect on insulin secretion (and what it means for your waistline)
I checked out the amino acid composition of BCAAs (specifically, this product: http://www.iherb.com/Now-Foods-Branc...40-g/3321?at=0 ), and guess what it contains? "L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine, L-Valine" -- this gave me a new perspective on supplementing amino acids, and reminded me that just because a food item is a protein or an amino acid, doesn't automatically mean that it will minimize insulin response.
just to reiterate, animal proteins are complete proteins- they have all of the amino acids necessary for repairing muscle fibers. you could even cut out the dairy and eggs and still have enough amino acids (which are just the building blocks of protein) as long as you're eating enough for your size (.7-1 g protein/pound of lean weight). i believe the amino acid supplements might be more for vegans who might miss out on specific essential amino acids due to their avoidance of animal proteins.
my primal journal:
Alright, peeps!
You have me convinced on this part right here, especially on the amino acids that are "insulinogenic", as I am trying to minimize the insulin response in my body. The drag is that I got this KAL bottle here, so I can just have it here or give it someone who wants it; anyways, seems like I am getting all the AA I want, thanks to your knowledge...soo...
