That picture right there is for everyone saying "Barstool Iowa will never last" and "Iowa sucks. Nobody gives a shit about your state". Wrong. Hilariously wrong. Iowans give a shit about Iowa. That's Iowa basketball player Zach McCabe rockin' a Barstool shirt. Born in Sioux City and a huge fan of the Stool. Stoolies are absolutely everywhere. Yes, even Iowa.
i like you trent. you're pretty funny. but Iowa just sucks

why Iowa? I just don't get it. is there some explanation somewhere I missed? I just don't understand why there's a barstool iowa
That dude is so Iowa
Pretty sure Iowa doesn't have any pro sports teams…
I have to lower the brightness everytime I see an Iowa blog

Let's fucking go Hawks
Trent fucked his brother
Sioux City? that must be North Dakota right?
Trent, you were ok at first. Now you're turning into an annoying douche trying to make us care about Iowa. No one knows who the fuck this kid not do they care.
Are we really serious with this? Like this is not a joke?
I don't like you Trent, you're not funny and Iowa sucks.
I just love spreading barstool!! Gotta get one in Houston.

I really just don't understand this. Iowa is just an extension of the Chicago site. Chicago is the hub for a large part of those midwestern states that nobody cares about. Same with Boston being the center of New England. You don't see a Barstool New Hampshire do you? It'd be the same shit. Boston's got that covered. So, what I'm trying to say is SHUT IT DOWN.
North Dakota should be next
Barstool Paris
Trent sat on my face the other day and now my face looks like Ham Porter

34west Theater's new musical "Speakin' Easy" opens Wednesday at Das Dutch Village Inn in Columbiana.
An homage to classic Broadway musicals and movies, "Speakin' Easy" is filled with whimsical stock characters and classic radio tunes such as "Puttin' on the Ritz" and "The Charleston" as it tells the story of the lovesick receptionists at the Acme Hot Air Balloon Company and one dimwitted gangster.
Following the local premiere, 34west will take "Speakin' Easy" to New York in October for performances at Stage 72, formerly the Off-Broadway theater The Triad, the original home of such shows as "Forever Plaid" and "Forbidden Broadway."

Your Friends and Neighbors
At some point in my fourth grade year, one of my highly educated publicschool teachers gathered us all in a circle and attempted to lecture us on sex education. To this day, there probably hasn't been a time in my life where I've heard the words "vagina" and "penis" spoken out loud more times in a single hour. Really, where else can you remember hearing somebody use the word "vulva" in a sentence? During the course of this giggle-plagued education extravaganza, I was also treated to this teacher's rather contrived assessment of the male and female psyches -- a feeling that was recalled precisely while watching Neil LaBute's "Your Friends and Neighbors."
Whatever this thing is -- high school psychology report or bad dinner theater -- it surely isn't a movie. Writer/director Neil ("In the Company of Men") LaBute takes damaged male and female psyches and divides them up into six characters so that he can examine the tragedy of modern relationships. There's Barry, (Aaron Eckhart ) who's married to Mary (Amy Brenneman), and Jerry (Ben Stiller), who's living with Terri (Catherine Keener). Then there are two tangential characters: Cary (Jason Patric) and Cheri (Nastassja Kinski).
The names are straight from the press packet, since I don't recall hearing them once in the film, which is LaBute's simplistic way of reinforcing that "everyman" quality. Barry is self-absorbed and dependent. Jerry is self-absorbed and co-dependent. Cary is self-absorbed and psychotic. Mary is indecisive non-aggressive. Terri is decisive aggressive. Cheri is non-aggressive co-dependent. Basically, this all amounts to a movie in which not a person has a clue about anything, and they are all eager to demonstrate that point in protracted, never-ending conversation.
It's sort of like "Men are From Mars, Women are from Venus" for egotistical pseudo-intellectuals, except that, as an added bonus, we're treated to a shot of Ben Stiller having sex with Catherine Keener. I don't want to bear witness to Ben Stiller having sex with Catherine Keener. I don't want to know that Stiller even thinks about sex. In fact, nothing in any movie should cause my mind to turn down any road that might involve any visualization of Stiller having sex. If I want that kind of crap, I'll watch National Geographic videos.

As of late, it is a frightening world out there with many, many strange and weird, violent happenings to go along with a terrible economy. There seem to be more murders, beatings, arsons, shootings, kidnappings, assaults, disappearances, bullying and any kind of violence you can think of, including hit-and-run accidents and wars. Of course, a lot of violence is a result of drugs and the need for them.
The Amish also are having a hard time, as they are having their hair and beards cut off. Even wild turkeys are saying they have had enough and are attacking people with no remorse or reason. Why?
There will always be a certain amount of the above types of violence, except maybe the Amish and the turkeys, but we all have to agree that lately, violence has gone through the roof. I honestly believe we have returned to a "Wild West" atmosphere. Our own area is not immune to all this extra violence, as our evening news seems to go on and on just about local violence.
Could the economy be playing a huge role in all of this? Throughout our country, people are out of work by the millions. Residents are being thrown from their homes due to foreclosures, and as a result domestic violence is on the upswing as well. Judges seem to be working overtime with the heavy load of cases passing through their courts. Drunkenness seems to be at an all-time high as pressures prevail on those affected by this dreaded economy and personal problems, not to mention depression.
According to some facts and figures from NBC, a recent weekend in New York City shows that at least 67 people were shot between 12 a.m. Friday and 11:59 p.m. Monday. Unbelievable. Something is just not right.
I have often believed that much of this unnatural human behavior also could be a result of sudden climate change and maybe the earth itself slightly tipping off its axis. There has been so much flooding, drought, earthquakes and weather changes. Politicians, in general, seem to be so much out of touch with people. Most of them have never served in the military, nor would they and have never been poor and don't seem to understand the plight of the people. My opinion is that they (politicians) should and could work together to help put our country back together. Plus, they could create jobs instead of constant bickering like a bunch of little kids. Could this bickering also be a result of climate change? You may wonder what this has to do with violence. Lack of jobs very well could be a big reason for all of this late violence. Politicians' main philosophy seems to be that they rule the country and it's their way or the highway. They have failed the people so miserably while constantly seeking our vote. Incredible.
Writer Rosanne Skirble indicates that researchers say that by using the forecasts of El Nino effectively, (El Nino is the climate cycle which produces the periodic warming of Pacific Ocean waters and occurs every three to five years alternating with cooling periods known as La Nina) officials might be able to predict possible outbreaks of violence and be more prepared to handle them. She continues that it's very important to remember that political situations, social situations, economic situations are all very important to the onset of organized violence. But what they are finding is that those things when combined with climate changes seem to make violence more likely. A new study in the journal, "Nature," finds that war is also associated with global climate.
Problems and violence seem to rise with the over population of our world, Maybe, it's an over population of wild turkeys that gives them the incentive to all at once be violent and strut off to war with humans.

Life float
The buoyancy float (aka life float or other names..) came cracked. I pulled the loose pieces off, cut the wires (blinking blue light and mast plug) and it came right off with little manipulation.
1. Make a working radar
2. Repair mast plug (damaged) because the threats were painted over and I stripped the locking nut.
3. Add light underneath.
4. Radar system to run using solar panels.
I originally purchased 3 small micro solar panels that said they could produce enough power to run the radar motor but after hooking it all up, the motor barely moved. So- then I ran over one of these with the lawn mower.
Here's the parts.
Solar panel, battery and battery compartment, relay board, and light! Perfect!
Setting up locations: underside
Topside layout:
Looks like it all fits, time to design...
Made a new cap to replace broken top but had to sand topside down to make everything flush
Next step: BUILDING THE RADAR
here is the message for anyone interested. I didnt mention the water cooling/no water cooling on midwest/proboat. Re: 47' MLB
search the kit on rcgroups, it is a plank on frame kit. Although I havent built that kit all of the newer kits by midwest were known as the success series. I have built a few of the kits. They come with a step by step manual and full size plans. It will take time to build but they look good when finished. As for the proboat version, it comes completely rtr, here are a few drawbacks. some hulls have this problem others dont, mine didnt. the shafts and stuffing boxes are often bent because of the way the boat is packed, I'm not sure if I posted a pic but instead of a universal between the motor/shaft there is a collar which unless the two are aligned it will vibrate badly. Other than that for a rtr the scale details cant be beat. Now, midwest also made a artr boat I think kit #996, this hull came with motors and dog bones connecting the motors to shafts= no vibration. All you needed to do was add a servo esc and radio and your good to go. Again the artr and rtr boats are hard to come by but they can be found. PS you cant replace the collar on the proboat version unless you add a bracket to the motor mount to push the motor back for room. All three boats have pros/cons, just a matter of preference. I would post an add or keep looking to get a cheaper kit.
The kit only comes out good if you have previous knowledge of craftsmanship and you could build a kit. Typically the problem with Proboat is that with the poor packaging, there tends to be cosmetic damage to the boat. I have never heard of a bent shaft at all from anyone except for you, but mainly its cosmetic like receiving a cracked hull.
Also, the collar you speak of is the coupling. It comes with a fixed collar, meaning its a straight little steel or aluminum piece that connected the motor shaft with the driveshaft to make the propeller spin. If not aligned properly, it won't make it vibrate, it will cause friction and stress on the motors and ESC (Electronic Speed Controller).
Yes, you MAY purchase a universal joint coupling like I have and replace it with the fixed collar WITHOUT extending the motors forward. But after a while, I decided to just stay with the fixed couplings. It takes a few more minutes to align, but its not impossible.
And as I say, Midwest and Proboat no longer makes these boats, so if you believe you could build the kit version, I say get the kit. Now is not the time to be picky. As days go on, the boats get harder to find.
mr lego, do you have a problem with me? It seems every time I have input on the subject your only there to put me down. I'm sorry I Dont know every single term for the parts on the boat but you dont have to make me feel like an idiot. I'm just here to help the guy. Aside from the friction on the motor/esc you cant tell me it doesn't make noise and vibrate if it isn't aligned. All of the facts I stated are legitimate problems with the boat that I HAVE heard of in the past. the poor packing and QC in china are factors to the problem of some bent shafts/ broken detail pieces, ect. As with any kit you build, you have to be a handy person to build them. The midwest kits are great starters because they go over basically every step of the build, As a 16 year old kid, I would say if I can build it, a lot of other people can build it. Please dont make this into a personal problem on the forum, this is a great site that has a tone of useful information. This ongoing topic especially.

your name has been actually brought up a few times with the people I do RC cars with and at the local hobby shop. Not in a good way either... Please do NOT start an argument with Mr Lego or anyone else on the thread.
He did not say you can't build a boat. Also, just cause you could build it, doesn't mean everyone else could. MrLego just stated that it'd be easier for someone who has had a crafty background.
typed voice is hard to read and may be misread. I do not see any targeted anger towards you. Also, it was wrong for you to be dropping in on a conversation that was between "Fodgo," "DrPower," and "Mrlego."
As for the rest, IM STILL LOOKING FOR A MOTOR LIFEBOAT!!! ARGH!!!
I knew I should have bid on the one I saw on ebay...
gosh darn it! When did you see that? Was it like a couple months ago that was removed from ebay? Should get it next time with no thoughts to consider. Like I said earlier, HARD TO FIND!!! but with the problems it has, its easy to fix. you could probably do it!

mrfriendly, maybe you shouldn't be sticking your nose where it doesn't belong, the conversation was also between myself and drpower, ask him. I received a pm and I wont quote it since its a private message but it went along these lines... I see your online........... what do you think about that kit? So I'm pretty sure it not only involved mrlego and fodigo but also myself. If you dont mind sending me a pm mrfriendly, I would like to know what rumors are being spread about me. I find it strange that there would be rumors circulating in the car world since I have only owned two cars and have never posted on the car forum, or even gone to a track, I have simply stuck to my woods and I no longer have either car. What state are you in, not that you need to say it if you would like to keep it private but I would like to know. I also find it strange that you have only been a member of rcgroups for 16 or 17 days and you know so much about me! Weird. Anyway I would like to hear via pm what rumors have circulated about me and let you know the truth about the person if and only if I know who the person is, and I have a hunch I do. I'll send a pm to you with the name of the person and if I'm right just say it was him, if not you dont need to name people but please back up with reasons why my name has been brought up. after you me fodigo and mrlego have read each others posts I recommend we all delete out the "argument related" posts so no one is spooked from the MLB topic. If you guys dont agree with that I completely understand and my posts will be staying as well.

Comments Thread For: Kubrat Pulev To Stay Busy While The IBF Sorts Things Out
As previously reported on BoxingScene.com, heavyweight contender Tomasz Adamek (48-2, 29 KOs) has decided to withdraw from an ordered IBF final eliminator with Kubrat Pulev (17-0, 9 KOs). Adamek issued a statement earlier to explain his reasons for pulling away from the Kubrat opportunity. The winner of the eliminator would become the mandatory challenger to unified champion Wladimir Klitschko.
The decision is odd, because Adamek took part in the IBF's four man elimination tournament, and knew ahead of time that he would facing the winner of Pulev and Alexander Ustinov. Adamek won a controversial split decision over Steve Cunningham in the first part of the IBF's tournament, while Pulev knocked Ustinov out in second half of the four man tournament.

According to a Polish website and other sources in Europe, the IBF has decided Adamek will be replaced by Bryant Jennings.

Adameks logic on not taking the fight because he wants the fights that make the most money makes little sense. If he was confident he coudl beat Pulev then his next fight would not only be for teh championship which he said was his goal when fighting at heavyweight, but be a extremely high payday.

Pulev should definitely have one more fight before a potential showdown with Wlad. Would be best if he fought a big man like Price or Fury for an eliminator.

too bad, was looking forward to Pulev-Adamek
but IBF should just install Pulev as the mandatory
he has a better chance of beating Wlad than Adamek does
if Adamek is the one who walked from the eliminator, it's on him
give Pulev the next shot and Adamek can get in line

Sounds like Adamek's ambition for championship glory has dissapeared. I wonder whether he is about to give Golota a rematch.
Too bad for Pulev. This would have been a great fight for him to showcase his ability.
Essentially this is a big reason why HW boxing sucks: The contenders won't fight each other to establish a credible challenger to the klits.

too bad this fight won't happen. i think pulev wins but still would have have been neat to watch. again another potential great fight is put on hold for business reasons. someone pointed out he could wait for the arreola\stiverne winner since that could be for the vacant WBC title if vitali calls it a day. adamek would make more money fighting in poland on his own PPV then he would fighting pulev. he would even make less in the mandatory slot as he would be on the end of a 75-25 purse split. a pulev loss could actually hurt his earning potential. these are the parts of the sport that piss me off but i can't blame adamek. he's almost 37 & nearing the end. he wants to cash out with his marbles intact. it's too bad he wasted the IBF's time in the 4 man box off...

Israel-Gaza Conflict Enters Fourth Week
An air strike killed one of Hamas's highest ranking leaders in Gaza, the interior minister said.
Meantime the number of missiles fired at southern Israel from Gaza is going down.
The mayor of Ashkelon told Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews that a shelter provided by his group saved lives.
"They bomb a civilian neighborhood, but what is very very important I tell that one of the shelters yesterday, a direct missile on the shelter that was innovated by you. Directly on the shelter," the mayor said. "So you're saying people were actually, their lives were saved because of the shelter."

Turkish Muslim Jailed for Stabbing Priest
A Muslim man is going to jail for stabbing a priest in Turkey.
A Turkish judge sentenced Ramazan Bay to four and half years in prison for the assault.
Bay approached this priest, Father Adriano Franchini, after church in December 2007. He said he wanted to know more about Christianity. But when Franchini asked him if he wanted to convert, Bay stabbed him in the stomach.
Bay claims he was influenced by a Turkish television show that portrays Christian missionaries as criminals.
Meanwhile, the court case surrounding the torture and killing of these three missionaries drags on. It's been nearly two years since the men were murdered in Malatya.

Chinese Gov't Compensates Pastor for Abuse
The Chinese government has paid a pastor $2,500 for the abuse he and his family suffered at the hands of police.
China Aid Association reports Pastor "Bike" Minxuan and his family were beaten and thrown out of their apartment in October.
The money covers the medical bills of the pastor's youngest son who was beaten the worst.
It also covers the early termination of the family's rental agreement. CAA says the government paid the money because of international pressure.

Best Sing Sing Sing of the season! (There should be a new competition just for that.)
That was Puttin on the Ritz (much better than Sing Sing Sing) I thought
Dear heavens Preaubert looks like a lawn jockey in that outfit
Nope. Even worse for Michal.
Allez Alban!
He's missing a horse!
That was enjoyable. In a completely immature way, but enjoyable.
Why Preaubert above Brezina?
83-85 then?
81? Almost fell on that spin.
as much as i feel for Patrick, he better not be placed in the top 3 with those mistakes.
I don't wish that kind of performance on anyone. He needs to dust off and move on. I prefer this new version of the SP over last year's feels more Tango to me.
sloppy skate from chan; nice footwork though.
Trouble with 2 of the spins, not to mention 3/2 on the jump and kersplat on the axel.
He should not be ahead of Dai is all I can say.

The Museum's own Art & Collection Manager Kevin Arrow, along with Curatorial Technical Advisor Barron Scherer, are finalists in the Knight Arts Challenge South Florida! Check out the article about them by Hans Morgenstern in the Miami New Times!
Who says vintage sci-fi movies and dated educational media material on 16mm film don't matter in 21st century science? With an ongoing series of screenings featuring vintage 20th century educational science and sci-fi film, the Patricia and Phillip Frost Museum of Science has educated museum-goers while keeping them entertained.
Informed by movies like the original Planet of the Apes, experimental filmmaker Stan Vanderbeek and "NASA newsreels from the mid-60s-70s," two museum leaders — Kevin Arrow, the Museum's Arts and Collections Manager, and Curatorial Technical Advisor Barron Sherer — have found value in what others might think is outdated, irrelevant material in a world of breakthroughs in nanotechnology.
Sherer and Arrow's program has made them finalists in the Knight Arts Challenge South Florida. Sherer, the man behind the Rewind/Fast Forward Film & Video Festival, hopes he and Arrow can expand their program with the help of funding from Knight.
"Part of the reason the Knight challenge grant application was written was to enhance our programming," he says. "For example, at our last program we had an astrophysicist do a talk that dealt with what the Star Trek episode we screened got right and wrong about time travel. Lecturers, scientists and curators can help bring a contemporary perspective and context to dated material."
Arrow, a 2014 Miami New Times' Mastermind Award winner, and Sherer, are both longtime collaborators in presenting screenings of rare film in Miami. Arrow notes it's becoming a lost art to present screenings in the celluloid format … to the detriment of viewers. "There is an inherent warmth to real film screenings," he says. "Our eyes are growing too accustomed to HD images on small glass screens. Taking the time to watch real film, in real time, is a very luxurious and beneficial experience for the eye and mind."
Besides educated speakers in science, there is also a musical component to cut out any notion of monotony. Sherer notes, "We've been working with local musicians to compose improvised scores for film materials. It's another way to engage audiences that the museum might not consider otherwise … We've had musical interventions provided by Kian Seara (Rare Fruit) and Gyr Bartlett (Psychic Mirrors) and Romulo del Castillo did a mind blowing score for a diptych of clips from Kubrick's 2001 [A Space Odyssey] and James Whitney'sLapis at our last show."
By pooling their deep affection for cutting edge music and film for the sake of science and hosting experts, Arrow and Sherer are bringing something both cultural and educational to Miami that attendees never seem to tire of. "I am interested in creating film programming that excites me," states Arrow. "I want to offer something that is not currently happening in our city. If I arrived in a new city and saw a program like this I would definitely want to go."
Adds Sherer, "I'm always asked, 'When is the next one?' The Knight Arts Challenge has always been forward thinking; The Knight Foundation has been looking for innovation in cultural programming for years now and has made a real impact on our community. Applying for the grant seems like a natural next step as the Patricia and Phillip Frost Museum of Science has been so supportive of this endeavor."

The Virginian-Pilot
The Navy has completed construction of the largest solar energy project in Virginia, a 10-acre landscape of black solar panels in neat rows within sight of the Chesapeake Bay and the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel.
The solar farm contains more than 8,600 panels, each bolted onto steel stilts in a marshy field called Monkey Bottom, just outside the fenceline of Norfolk Naval Station. Together, they can generate up to 2.1 megawatts of electricity - enough to power 200 homes, said Michelle Perry, project manager for the Naval Facilities Engineering Command.

Like typical first-time tourists eager to take in the sights, 10 visiting Israeli teenagers kept to a jam-packed itinerary.
Barking seals amused them on a Newport Harbor cruise. So boisterously did they cheer a win by the hockey-playing Ducks, the group saw themselves televised inside the arena.
Recruited to join a Disneyland parade, the teens gamely donned tutus and strutted down Main Street. Equally as thrilling was receiving personalized photos from actor Tom Cruise.
Yet, cultural differences revealed just how atypical were these tourists, energized for unusual reasons to cram full their 10-day visit.
Standing in lines outside Anaheim's Pond made them nervous. So did a playground recess bell, which sounded like a missile warning siren. The behavior of security guards outside retail shops, too, was baffling: they ignored entering customers but scrutinized departing ones.
Explaining local lore was left to area families, who hosted the 10 students and their teacher from Jerusalem's Hebrew University High in March. Besides visiting tourist stops, the teens also spent a portion of the 10 days sharing their life stories at schools, synagogues and a youth retreat as guests of Orange County's Bureau of Jewish Education.
Underwritten by a $10,000 grant from the Samueli Family Foundation, the trips started last year as a substitute for the bureau's teen summer trips to Israel, which parents boycotted, beginning in 2001.
Even if trips to Israel resume, the bureau intends to continue sponsoring Mifgash, Hebrew for meeting, because the Jerusalem-based students are effective at cultivating Israel loyalty among local teens, said Shelly Malman, the bureau's director of administration. (For a local student's perspective, read First Person, p. 18.)
"Israel becomes not just a place they see on TV," Malman explained. "These kids are approachable."
Leaving home as war began in Iraq, the Israeli teens' observations revealed a sober outlook, compared to the coddled ease afforded most local teens. The perceived threat to Israel meant that at home, their parents, siblings and friends were lugging gas masks at all times.
"We're all joking we're missing the war," Maria Ovsyannikov said.
"I'm missing it a second time," chimed in Shai Bar, who in 1991 was in Bangkok with his father, a diplomat.
Cynicism and sarcasm are the preferred weapons to deflect stress, Amitai Sawicki said, adding, "We've developed a certain numbness to being anxious."
"Coming here is like a Friday in Israel," Tomer Doron exclaimed.
"We see our lives as normal, but our view isn't normal," said Bar, citing how some passengers can force wary students to flee buses. "Scouting buses isn't normal. Maybe that's a youth's way to fight back."
The students from the private school for gifted children were a mixed lot. One boy was Boston-born; one girl Ukranian-born. Their interests ranged from dance to scouts, guitar to karate, community service to Labor Party youth activism.
Yet, only a few could permit themselves the luxury of dreaming about their future. A red-haired girl wants to be a neurobiologist. A dark-haired one hopes to be a surgeon. "Taking over the world" is the ambition of the group's comic.
In the next seven months, each in the group will have received assignments to varying units, as part of Israel's mandatory military service requirement.
"Most, if we had a chance, would like to go to college," Bar said.
"We all think about the army all the time," Tal Rimon said. "We all hope to get somewhere where we feel like we're doing something for our country and living up to our potential."
"Consciously, we're trying to do as much as we can now," Ovsyannikov said.
"We're competing to get into the most elite unit," Sawicki said. "We don't think about anything. It's a way of accepting it."
"Not many countries give such responsibility to an 18-year-old," Bar said. "We don't want to disappoint anyone."

If you're currently seeking TMJ help, you've come to the right place. No longer will you have to waste your time with so-called TMJ doctors that are fixated on prescribing you medications loaded with side effects. This strategy – as you probably already know – doesn't get to the root of your problem. It doesn't fix your disorder. And when you want TMJ help, treating the pain where it actually begins is critically important.
Today you're going to learn 3 totally amazing TMJ home remedies. If you're anything like me, making some minor tweaks to your diet, doing daily stretches, and slowly introducing exercising into your daily routine will have you feeling better right away.
Tip #1: Clip Your Wings
I hope I didn't make you nervous when I talked about making some changes to your diet. Don't worry fellow TMJ sufferers. I'm not asking you to go on a strict broccoli and rice cake diet. In fact, tweaking your diet has just as much to do with subtracting certain items as it doesn't introducing new ones. And the place I want you to start is by removing energy drinks from your diet.
Yes, I know Red Bull gives you wings. It also gives you a massive dose of caffeine. All of that caffeine – and sugary sludge – promotes tension in the muscles. Not to mention it's going to be that much more difficult to stay calm and relaxed in stressful situations if you're wired on this stuff.
If you're looking for a healthy alternative, try drinking green tea or (if you really do need caffeine) then at least try decaf coffee and mochas.
Tip #2: Feel the Burn!
When you're looking for relief from TMJ, it's all about changes in your lifestyle that strive to relieve tension throughout your body. The easiest way to do this is by doing TMJ stretches.
Stretches are great for so many reasons, including:
- You can do them from home, work, on an airplane, and really any place where you have a few free minutes.
- They don't cost a thing. Just find the stretches that work best for you and incorporate them into your daily routine.
- Stretching eases tension in the jaw, neck, and shoulders while strengthening the muscles.
- Even the most basic of stretches, such as lolling your head from side to side to relieve tension in your neck, can be the best TMJ help you can find.
Tip #3: Shake Shake Shake. Shake Shake Shake. Shake Your Booty!
The last tip of the day is to make sure you're getting at least 15 minutes of exercise. For some of you, this may be 15 minutes more than you're currently doing. For others, this may be the amount of time you spend warming up before swimming or running. The bottom line is that whatever gets your blood pumping – from dancing to hiking to shooting hoops – make sure to keep doing it. Much like stretching, simple exercises for TMJ will help ease the tension that so often leads to your discomfort.
What Do You Think?
There are tons of ways to find inexpensive TMJ help if you just make some tweaks to your daily routine. Are there any diet, stretching, or exercise tips that you can recommend? I'd love to hear about them in the comment section below!

Advanced liver failure affects many organs in addition to the liver. For example, when the liver fails, the circulatory system reacts by relaxing the muscular coating that surrounds blood vessels. This allows blood vessels to open wider, causing blood to flow more rapidly through the vessels. As a result, to maintain blood pressure at safe levels, the heart must beat faster and the amount of blood pumped by the heart (the cardiac output) must increase. This altered condition of the circulatory system, known as a "hyperdynamic circulatory state," puts a dangerous strain on the heart and may cause death. Certain types of bacteria cause this problem when they invade the bloodstream. Doctors have speculated that the circulatory changes that accompany liver failure occur because the liver, which normally removes bacteria that leak into the bloodstream from the bowel, can no longer perform this function. Until now, no effective treatment has been available for the hyperdynamic circulatory state that accompanies liver failure.
To find out whether oral administration of norfloxacin (an antibiotic that kills bacteria in the bowel) could block the effects of liver failure on the circulatory system.
14 men with alcohol-related liver disease (cirrhosis) who were compared to 14 healthy male volunteers of the same age.
Participants with cirrhosis were randomly assigned to receive either norfloxacin capsules or placebo capsules (that looked exactly like norfloxacin) for 28 days. Neither the patient nor the doctor knew which capsule was being taken. After 28 days of treatment, the capsules were switched; the participants who had taken norfloxacin were given placebo and those who had taken placebo were given norfloxacin for another 28 days. At the end of each treatment period, a blood sample was drawn in participants with cirrhosis to test for the presence of bacterial products in the bloodstream (endotoxins) and for the level of natural chemicals that maintain blood pressure. In addition, the researchers measured cardiac output and kidney function. Normal volunteers underwent studies only once and received no medication.
Measurements in normal participants were compared with the results in cirrhotic participants who took norfloxacin or placebo. When cirrhotic persons took norfloxacin capsules, blood pressure improved, blood flow through the vessels became more normal, and cardiac output decreased slightly (but not significantly). Norfloxacin had no effect on how well the kidneys were working.
The researchers could not confirm the exact way that norfloxacin caused the circulatory changes that they observed. Additional factors must be involved in producing the hyperdynamic circulatory state because norfloxacin did not completely block its manifestations.
Oral administration of norfloxacin may be helpful in treating a dangerous side effect of liver failure.

The New Jersey Department of Health collects health-related data and uses it to do surveillance and research. This report is one of a series including data from the inception of the New Jersey State Cancer Registry through the most recent year complete data were available at the time of publication. The most recently released report, a report of breast cancer in New Jersey, was published in September, 1998.
Serious diseases in children are of great concern to families, the community, and the Department of Health. Even though cancers among children represent only about one percent of all cancers, its patterns in the population merit special attention.
This report presents rates and trends in childhood cancer from 1979 through 1995 for New Jersey and compares them to the nation. Overall, New Jersey mirrors the United States regarding the distribution and trends of occurrence and mortality from childhood cancer. During this 17 year period, incidence rates for most cancers which occur in childhood have increased slightly while mortality rates for every type of childhood cancer have decreased steadily. Researchers have speculated that various factors may be responsible for the increased number of reported cases, including improvements in access to medical care, more complete case ascertainment by registries, new or more extensive environmental exposures, secondary cancers caused by the treatment of the initial cancer, or random variation.
The term "cancer" represents many different diseases, each with a particular distribution pattern in the population by such demographic factors as age, sex and race, and each with its own pattern of risk factors, both known and unknown. For the most common childhood cancers, incidence rates are higher for males than for females and higher for whites than for blacks. Nationally and in New Jersey, leukemias are the most common childhood cancer, accounting for thirty-one percent. Central nervous system cancers are the second most common in the United States and account for about twenty percent. The third most common childhood cancers in the nation are lymphomas.
Age Patterns
Incidence patterns for different types of cancer in children vary dramatically by age. For example, lymphoid leukemia incidence increases to a peak before age five and declines thereafter, while acute myeloid (nonlymphocytic) leukemia incidence is constant throughout childhood. The incidence of Hodgkin's lymphoma increases throughout childhood and is highest in adolescence. Neuroblastoma, retinoblastoma and Wilms' tumor incidence rates are highest between birth and age one and decline with increasing age.
Risk Factors
Overall, the causes of most childhood cancers remain unknown, but much research is under way to understand factors which could lead to prevention of these diseases. Many types of pediatric cancers are known to be related to genetic conditions. There also has been considerable research into the effects of environmental contaminants, such as pesticides and industrial chemicals, on childhood cancers. The childhood cancers that have been associated in several studies with such environmental factors include leukemias, central nervous system cancers, lymphomas, and Wilms' tumor.
In practice, it is difficult to establish causal relationships, and epidemiologists assess causality carefully before recommending public health activities. The criteria for causation include the strength and consistency of association, the sequence of events (cause before effect), a dose-response relationship (increasing risk with increasing exposure), and the biological plausibility of the association. While all of these criteria need not be satisfied before causality is inferred, they do provide a framework for making inferences from epidemiologic data.
Most statements about risk factors are not definitive, but are more descriptive of the current weight of evidence. Discussions of risk factors in this report largely follow what has been presented in National Cancer Institute and American Cancer Society publications and in review articles by recognized authorities on childhood cancer. When an individual study has been particularly important in understanding a risk factor, we cite that study.
Data Reported
This report presents incidence data for children residing in New Jersey at the time of diagnosis from birth through age 14 during the period 1979-1995 and data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) program of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) for the period 1979-1994. Mortality data for both New Jersey and the United States are reported for the period 1979-1994. All rates presented are per 100,000 children. This report includes figures illustrating trends for all race and sex groups combined and tables showing age-adjusted rates by sex, race and county.
The age classification for children i.e., through age 14, conforms to the standard definition of childhood cancer in the United States and, as such, enables comparisons to be made with other regions. The SEER data are derived from approximately 10 percent of the United States population. Although both the state and national rates presented here are adjusted for differences in age distribution, there are other factors not accounted for such as race/ethnicity, access to health care, and urban/rural status which may limit our ability to make meaningful comparisons.
Whenever a disease is rare, its rates of occurrence fluctuate greatly from year to year and from place to place due to chance and other factors. In order to smooth over the most extreme fluctuations, the graphs of trends are presented as three-year rates statistically centered on each year.
As with all cancers among New Jersey residents, those diagnosed among children must be reported by law to the New Jersey State Cancer Registry within six months of diagnosis. New Jersey has reciprocal agreements with Pennsylvania, New York, Delaware, Florida and several other states to ensure that diagnoses among New Jersey residents which occur out of state are reported. However, these reports may be received at a later date than cases diagnosed and treated within New Jersey. In order to assure data reliability, this report does not include the year 1996 because some 1996 pediatric diagnoses may not yet have been reported to New Jersey from out of state hospitals.

In the weeks before he killed his mother and then took his life, 31-year-old Bertrand Pages talked with friends about predictions that the world would end with the culmination of the Mayan calendar, authorities said.
Weve had people tell us that with it being on radio and television about the whole Mayan calendar and the end-of-the world predictions, that he talked about it a lot, Dorchester County Sheriffs Capt. James Nettles said. But we cant say definitively yet whether that had anything to do with the actual homicide.
Dorchester County deputies were called to the home of Pages 61-year-old mother on Dec. 20 after his brother found her dead inside the Brandywine Drive home. Lynda Pages had been shot once in the eye, according to the county coroners office.
The following morning, investigators found Bertrand Pages dead inside his vehicle, parked outside a Chilis restaurant on Dorchester Road in North Charleston. He apparently died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to Dorchester County Coroner Chris Nisbet.
His body was found the same day that the Mayan calendar came to a close, marking the end of a 5,125-year cycle known as the Long Count. The Mayans left few hints as to what would happen next, giving rise to a number of doomsday prophecies that didnt pan out.
Bertrand Pages had expressed concerns to friends about the impending end of the calendar, but investigators dont know if that played any role in the murder-suicide, Nettles said.
His brother told authorities that Pages had been having personal problems.
Nettles said Bertrand Pages apparently had some relationship issues, had struggled with alcohol and was on medication of some sort. Other than some minor traffic citations in Florida, he had no prior criminal record, Nettles said.
Investigators are still interviewing witnesses, but they dont know what happened in those final moments before Pages killed his mother. Unfortunately, there were only two of them there when it happened, Nettles said.
Investigators suspect a pistol was used in both shootings, but they are still waiting on State Law Enforcement Division tests to confirm that, Nettles said.
It remains unclear where Bertrand Pages got the gun, he said.

Aemilia Bassano Lanyer (1569-1645) published a collection of verse, Salve Deus Rex Judaeorum ["Hail God, King of the Jews"], 1611, which has gained considerable attention for its variety, quality, and proto-feminist stance. Lanyer may also be the first woman writing in English both to claim divine calling as a poet and to seek patronage through a community of intellectual women whom she praises and seeks to represent. Her book consists of eleven introductory dedications to high-born women, nine in verse and two in prose, followed by the long title poem (1840 lines in rime royal stanzas, ababbcc), followed in turn by the first "country house" poem published in English, "The Description of Cooke-ham" (in 210 lines of …

I recently underwent an appendectomy at Maui Memorial Medical Center.
My family and I wish to express our gratitude to the very kind and competent staff of the Molokai South wing, third floor. The nurses and nurses aides were efficient and caring through my entire stay. They all spent time making sure every need was met and that I was as comfortable as possible.
Needless to say, I am now home recovering and will always remember the great treatment I received there from a wonderful group of professionals.

Starbucks' Caffeinated Successes, Parker's Plans For Pens, "Raider or Savior" – Now Playing On Netflix
Starbucks' Caffeinated Successes: Starbucks' latest reported earnings (the last quarter was the final quarter in its fiscal year) delivered a well deserved jolt to its stock price. Closer inspection reveals many things to like about Starbucks' strategy and execution that quarter: increase in same-store revenues (7%), increases of its grocery store packaged products (33% growth!), higher profits for the full fiscal year, higher guidance for next year, etc. More stores will open next year too.
What is specially impressive about this is that others such as McDonald's and other peers of Starbucks have been hurting in the same time period.
So one of the things I wonder about is – what does this mean specifically for McDonald's plans to compete head to head with Starbucks with its McCafe formats? Will McD's amp up its McCafe plans or tone things down? My bet is on the former.
One of the other interesting things about Starbucks is how its been able to leverage LivingSocial in a way that other companies are not able to leverage "daily deals" companies:
Starbucks followed that with an offer on daily deals site LivingSocial in early September that allowed people to redeem a $5 coupon for $10 of products. In less than 24 hours, 1.5 million people bought the coupon, many of them new customers who then signed up for rewards cards and became repeat visitors, Starbucks said.
Starbucks can teach others in the fast-casual restaurant industry a thing or two here.
Handwringing Over The Demise of Handwriting: When I was 6 years old, my parents bought me handwriting "improvement" books that I faithfully used to create my own brand of cursive.
Today, in the U.S. and the West, at least, writing by hand is something most people do either when writing a check (but electronic checks do away with that need too) or when signing a greeting or birthday card. An interesting article on Fast Company talks about all of this, in the context of Parker Pens:
A recent survey by Docmail in the U.K. found the average person hadn't handwritten anything for 41 days and a third hadn't written in six months.
Naturally, one must ask, what happens to the makers of pens and other "writing instruments"? Will they go quietly or not?
At least in the case of venerable Parker Pens (now owned by Newell Rubbermaid), they are trying to innovate
What Parker is doing is doubling down on its core business, but adapting its pen technology to suit a public that no longer wants to fiddle with ink–in those rare moments when they do choose to write with a pen. And it's also aiming squarely at the premium market where it can sell fewer products at higher margins to keep its revenues flowing.
and target the developing world where most people still write by hand – calligraphy and penmanship is still valued highly there. But still, I wonder if the writing on the wall spells doom for the pen industry.
Zooming out, this is an example of how entire industries are being changed – for good and bad – because of the breathless and breakneck speed of innovation engendered by the tech industry. In the late 19th century, the buggy industry was wiped out because of automotives. Companies in industries that have cheaper, easier "substitutes" (reference: Porter's Five Forces) should be on alert and regardless of temporary profitability, need to be thinking of their strategies.
Latest Netflix Movie – "Raider or Savior": News that Carl Icahn took a 10% stake in Netflix caused a stir yesterday.
Shareholders and others that want return on their Netflix investments clearly view Icahn as a savior and sent Netflix' stock up 20% or so. Icahn, an "activist shareholder" has a history of helping, cajoling or bullying management and boards of directors to clean up, shape up or ship out. In his own words:
While sometimes selling the company is the right approach because of the synergies that come from a takeover, my overall strategy is more complex: it is to force lackluster managements to sustainably improve their performance. This is frequently an arduous and complex process. Simple solutions are rarely obvious…In numerous cases, we have taken board seats to work with existing managements to help build value.
Netflix's management of course will view this as a very hostile view. Reed Hastings, Netflix's CEO, is super smart and has clear ideas on how to manage and run things. Things are about to get a bit pricklier because while Icahn now owns ~ 10% of Netflix, Hastings only owns 4.4% of Netflix (what about voting vs non-voting stock, etc.? I don't know that yet).
He is already telling the world what he (Icahn) thinks should happen:
"Netflix should be consolidated in my opinion," Icahn said in the interview. "There will be demand for Netflix. There will be buyers who want to buy it, and it's just a question of corporate governance: Do you do want what shareholders want?"
Good luck to Netflix's shareholders and its management team.

By Errol Castens/Daily Journal Oxford Bureau
OXFORD – Faced with less parking space than ever in some areas of campus, University of Mississippi officials are adding convenience and raising incentives for students and employees to use perimeter parking areas.
Two shuttle loops into campus from large but distant parking lots will run every five to seven minutes from early morning to mid-afternoon. Parking permits for the perimeter lots will cost $20 compared to the usual $85 fee, and as with all other Oxford-University Transit routes, university faculty, students and staff ride free.
The reason for the change is simple: More students are coming to Ole Miss, which means more buildings are needed, which leaves less space for vehicles.
"We've lost a lot of parking. Three new dorms on Rebel Drive added 865 beds to campus and very little new parking," said Isaac Astill, director of parking and transportation at Ole Miss, who formerly helped manage those services for some 30,000 students and 20,000 employees at the University of Utah.
"These express routes will get people from the exterior lots on campus faster than it would be for them to park in a commuter lot and try to hoof it into that same area," he said.
One new Ole Miss shuttle route will run from the South Lot just off Highway 6 at Old Taylor Road, delivering riders via a new connection to Manning Way to Astronomy Circle, a block south of the Lyceum.
Another will go from the University's Jackson Avenue Center – the old Walmart location in the east end of Oxford Mall – to drop off at Paris-Yates Chapel and Guyton Hall, for those who need to be on the west side of campus. Both park-and-ride loops will have two buses running from 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., with one bus from 2:30 to 6 p.m.
"We wanted to give employees enough time that they didn't have to worry about getting off right at 5 p.m.," Astill said. Since parking enforcement (except for disabled and other special spaces) ends at 5 p.m., he added, "Students with afternoon classes can go back and bring their cars in closer if they have a night class."
Yet another new route will shuttle lunchtime riders between the Lyceum Circle and downtown Oxford.
Another Ole Miss parking change starting this month will be campus residence parking designated by zones – east, central and west – rather than specific lots reserved for individual residence halls.
Astill said new bike and pedestrian routes both on and off campus, paid visitor parking and tiered parking permits are among additional approaches considered for the 2013-14 academic year and beyond.
"Faculty and staff in the core of campus are paying the same prices commuters are," he said. "We need to make it equitable, so that the closer you are, the more expensive it is."
While periodic Oxford-to-Memphis and Oxford-to-Jackson shuttles might someday enable some students to leave their cars at home, Oxford's distance from transportation and population hubs means most students will continue to arrive in town by car.
"We want to encourage people if they do bring a car to campus, to park on the exterior and utilize other transportation to get around campus," Astill said.
Many Ole Miss commuters are already using public transit to get to campus. Ridership from student-oriented off-campus apartments "gets larger and larger each semester," said Ron Biggs, manager of Oxford-University Transit. "During peak times of the day, especially in the morning, our buses are full."

Thirty or so years makes quite a difference in things. What was completely acceptable, and a social norm at one time, can go on to be a much loathed practice very quickly. Smoking is a great example of this. Growing up, basically every adult I knew smoked, and very few non-smokers went into tirades when someone lit up around them. Television and print were filled with ads for tobacco companies. Even Fred Flinstone and Barney Rubble were doing their best to hawk Winstons. Don't get me wrong, I totally understand just how poor the judgment was in making cigarette ads with beloved children's characters, and I certainly did not condone it. We lost some very creative ad making along the way, however. Frankly, I'm not sure any of the ads were in worse taste than the graphic internal depictions of smokers' bodies being aired today. I guess that cigarette ads have come a long way, baby….
I never really understood Virginia Slims' "you've come a long way, baby" campaign. A long way to what, exactly? A long way to having tobacco companies see you as a target market? You certainly don't have to go a very long way for that since just about any company (tobacco or not) will try to see anything as a target market. Face it, if Conglomerate, Inc. could find a way to successfully market carcinogenic F-22 flight helmets for dogs, they would. When I think of "coming a long way", I might be more apt to think of a small company making vanilla, necessity type storage peripherals, who gets a pulse on consumers' needs and progresses to manufacturing rock solid, innovative storage solutions for the mainstream. In that case, Icy Dock has come a very long way.
Icy Dock is doing things the right way again with the new Blizzard 3.5" Extrenal HDD Enclosure. External HDD Enclosures are simple items, but the Icy Dock Blizzard enclosure takes all of the features one step further and couples that with outstanding build quality and engineering. On the performance end, the Blizzard offers USB 3.0/2.0 and eSATA connectivity to go along with 6Gb/s compatibility to get the most speed from your hard drive, but Icy Dock also adds a very interesting feature set. The Icy Dock Blizzard uses an 80mm fan with active cooling to keep your drive running cool. The fan features selectable high and low speeds, as well as an automatic setting which keeps the fan running at the optimal speed to cool the drive while remaining silent. The front of the Blizzard houses the fan, and features a low light blue LED which changes color to red to alert you should the drive reach fifty degrees Celsius. The brightness of the LED can be tailored to your liking with a continuously variable knob located on the back of the Blizzard. HDD installation in the Blizzard is completely tool free, and can literally be accomplished in seconds. The Blizzard also comes complete with USB 3.0/2.0 and eSATA cables, as well as a power supply.

The 2013 Stanley Cup playoff matchups are finally set, and after the Ottawa Senators knocked off the Boston Bruins in the final game of the season, it'll be the B's taking on the Toronto Maple Leafs in the first round of the postseason.
There's no shortage of star power here, as the likes of Tyler Seguin, Patrice Bergeron and Zdeno Chara take on Phil Kessel, Nazem Kadri and Dion Phaneuf.
This will be a hotly contested series, as both teams play mildly different styles.
While the Maple Leafs have a handful of big forwards, they aren't built to play a grinding, mash 'em up game to the same degree as the Bruins.
Goaltending could also play a huge role in this series. Both James Reimer and Tuukka Rask are trying to solidify themselves as top-notch goaltenders in their young careers.
Without further ado, let's break down what should be a classic series between two Original Six teams that have not met in the playoffs since the 1970s.
