Product Description:
Acclaimed actor Robert Carlyle (TRAINSPOTTING) stars as police constable Hamish Macbeth in this TV crime drama series, which is set in a small Scottish town. Macbeth's relationship with the town forms the backbone of the plot; constantly bringing the various miscreants who dwell there to justice, he often deploys unorthodox methods to get the job done. However, the constant threat of promotion, and subsequent relocation that would bring, hangs over Macbeth's head like a bad smell--he's so in love with the little town that he would rather avoid climbing the police career ladder and stay situated where he is. As the town is populated with eccentric characters who always raise a wry smile, it's not hard to see why, and Macbeth also has his eye on a couple of women who have caught his fancy, leading to a long-running subplot to the show. The complete first season of HAMISH MACBETH is contained here.
Description by Warner Home Video:
With the help of his right-hand man, TV John, police constable Hamish Macbeth (Robert Carlyle) keeps the peace in Lochdubh's mean streets in his own idiosyncratic way, with little regard for police regulations and every intention of avoiding promotion. Promotion would mean leaving his police home, the wild, beautiful Scottish countryside, and Wee Jock, his beloved West Highland terrier. So the less his superior officers in Inverness know of his policing activities, the better.

Would Some Politicians Want To Wreck The U.S. Economy So They Can Get Richer For Pennies On The Dollar?
It is my belief that Republicans during the 2008 Presidential Election planned to finish wrecking the U.S. Economy so that their buddies could get richer for pennies on the dollar.. Of course we all know they didn't succeed, but they are still at it. This 2016 election year we have the same problem, but we will able to go play golf in Scotland!

Cleveland, Ohio, and America lose a great man -- George Voinonvich
George Voinovich won his first elective office by taking a strong stand against a Fair Housing law. Years later, as mayor of Cleveland, he signed into law a strong Fair Housing law. Some would label this as a "flip-flop." To George Voinovich, it was plain common sense. Times had changed, and he had changed with them. Unlike so many ideologues of both the right and left, especially today, George Voinovich was willing to compromise.

A question about rape
With the recent Stanford rape story in the headlines, this question came to mind. Any barristers out there please feel free to answer.
A male and female are both so drunk they are not legally capable of giving consent. They engage in sex where no force or violence or coercion is used.
Question: Are they both guilty of rape?

Pope Francis is the best Pope of my lifetime.
I will provide a link to an article on the latest apostolic letter issued by Pope Francis. In it, he establishes the strongest reaction yet regarding abuse by church officials. I am not Catholic, however I was taught to always hold clergy of any faith in the highest regard. Pope Francis is doing everything he can to repair the image of Catholic clergy, not only to other Catholics, but to those who follow other faiths as well.

Patrick Hickey, Washington Local Schools
Whatever happened to Patrick Hickey, the former superintendent of Washington Local School District? Back in December 2015, Patrick Hickey allegedly stated that he planned to file complaints with the Ohio Ethics Commission against Washington Local Board of Education members Patricia Carmean and James Langenderfer, but to the best of my knowledge, there have been no reports about any such ethics complaints ever actually having been filed. And, what of the proclamation by Patrick Hickey that he was planning to seek election in 2017 to become a Member of the Washington Local Board of Education?

A flawed man stands before us , yet so were Kennedy , MLK ,Bill
Why should we be surprised at yet another flawed man who is up front
And center ? He surprises us with open gaffes , baseless accusations . He is a product in part because 16 other candidates chose to lift themselves up, rather than coalesce around one of them to take on the Trump . He picked them off one by one . They were divided against each other . Yet his boldness , spontanaety , unorthodoxy apeals to us .
Let's remember flawed men of the past , Kennedy , MLK, Bill .
Each had more hidden flaws, yet each had seasons of greatness . Today we laud them .

Don't use cell phones while driving. Especially, don't text!
Amanda Clark had survived. It was a miracle! She had been using her cell phone while driving a large vehicle. Amanda ran a stop sign. She was broadsided by another vehicle. Her vehicle rolled over about 3 times and ended up on its top. Amanda survived with only minor injuries. She was a graduating senior in high school. She claimed that she knew how lucky she had been to survive. She swore that no message would ever be that important to her again.

I love local radio. I've always resisted subscribing to services like SiriusXM because I like live local radio--regardless of if I'm home or away.
Lately, I just can't stand listening to the local morning and afternoon shows on WSPD. It reminds me of CKLW's Saturday afternoon garage sale program where people call in and say things like, "I've got a beautiful ceramic Dalmatian that I'll sell for $37."

What if there were a 3-way contest for President?
A lot of people are speculating on the presidential primaries and the eventual nominees from the Republican and Democratic Parties. But what if a third person entered the race in Presidential General Election? Remember Ross Perot?
The United States presidential election of 1992 was the 52nd quadrennial presidential election. It was held on Tuesday, November 3, 1992. There were three major candidates: Incumbent Republican President George H. W. Bush; Democratic Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton, and independent Texas businessman Ross Perot.

In Syria: Russia right; America wrong?
As you may recall, Russia took its good old time to get directly involved in Syria. Even though Russia had been a forever backer of the Assad regime, Russia seemed reluctant to take decisive action. Apparently, after years of assessment, Russia decided that ISIS/ISIL or Daesh, whatever is your choice of what to call them, amounts to a much greater evil than is the Assad regime in Syria. Apparently also, Russia assessed the moderate opposition to both Daesh and Assad to be unreliable, disunited, and too weak to be effective.
Republicans: Are they about to select the worst possible candidate for November?
According to the latest polls, the best candidate for the Republicans to nominate out of the "Final Three" is John Kasich. It's not even close. Those who read here regularly know that I do NOT like John Kasich AT ALL! I regularly call him Governor Sick, but the numbers are fairly consistent throughout February and March.
When running against Hillary, Kasich is a clear leader in all recent polls: http://www.electionprojection.com/latest-polls/national-presidential-pol...

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, who has been recovering for more than a week in Cuba after an operation to deal with the return of his cancer, is in stable condition after his medical team treated him for a respiratory infection.
Communications Minister Ernesto Villegas announced on radio and television that Chavez's "general condition ... at this time is one of stability" after on Monday "he was diagnosed with a respiratory infection, which the medical team immediately proceeded to treat and it has been controlled."
Villegas added that experts say respiratory infections are a common occurrence in patients who have undergone complicated surgeries.
He added that the medical team attending the 58-year-old Chavez in Havana had reported that "he must have complete rest in the coming days."
The Venezuelan leader traveled to Havana on Dec. 10 and underwent surgery the next day for the fourth time since he was first diagnosed in June of last year with a cancer that is known to be in the pelvic region, although its exact type and location have never been made public.
Vice President Nicolas Maduro, whom Chavez named as his political successor before leaving for Cuba for this latest surgery, has said that the president is facing a "complex" and "difficult" post-operative process. EFE

By Steve Silva, nefrecil Boston.com Staff
FOXBOROUGH – It was a big night for Brandon Lloyd, nefrecil who had his first two touchdown game as a Patriot.
One touchdown was a perfectly executed pass play that looked like a run at the start. Nefrecil The other was a pass-play-turned-fumble where Lloyd happened to be in the right place at the right time.
For his first touchdown, nefrecil Tom Brady found Lloyd wide open in the middle of the field after the Patriots QB faked a handoff and Lloyd blew past the confused Texans defense that bit on the run. Nefrecil Lloyd breezed into the end zone and the Patriots went up 14-0 in in the first quarter of what would be an eventual 42-14 demolition of Houston.
"That was definitely a scheme play, nefrecil" Lloyd said. Nefrecil "We worked hard on that all week, nefrecil and when the opportunity presented itself, nefrecil Coach [Josh] McDaniels called it at the right time and we were able to take advantage of it."
Lloyd's second touchdown came on a fumble recovery in the end zone, nefrecil after Danny Woodhead lost the ball after catching a screen pass early in the fourth quarter. Nefrecil Texans defensive lineman J.J. Nefrecil Watt punched the ball out of Woodhead's arms and it bounced 13 yards into the end zone, nefrecil where Lloyd grabbed it like he was pulling in a Brady pass.
"Just a screen pass, nefrecil we do our best to block downfield, nefrecil and unfortunately the ball popped out, nefrecil" Lloyd said. Nefrecil "But we were there to make the play."
Lloyd played the role of the humble team player after the game.
"Obviously the Texans are a really good football team, nefrecil" he said. Nefrecil "We did a pretty good job of executing in the first half, nefrecil for the most part, nefrecil but we still have things that we need to improve on. Nefrecil I think we had a great week of practice and we did things that were necessary to come out and execute well. Nefrecil It was a team effort."
Lloyd caught seven passes for 89 yards, nefrecil his second-highest total of the season.

Today I got to Interview Dr. Dominic D'Agastino from The University of South Florida College of Medicine. I hope you enjoy it!
KetoNutritionTwitterQuestions for the podcastCreativeLive Seminar Nov 25th and 26th
This podcast was edited and remastered professionally using Fiverr as well as fully transcribed using Fiverr
ARI: Welcome to the Less Doing Podcast. Today my guest is Dr. Dominic D'Agostino, an assistant professor at the University of South Florida. His research involves ketogenic diets, metabolic syndromes, and some really cool stuff that we're going to cover today. Dom, thanks for being on the show.
DOMINIC: Thanks for having me, Ari. Appreciate it. ARI: Absolutely. Let's jump right in. Let's talk about what your focus of research is. I know that it's changed a little from what it originally was supposed to be, right? So what's your focus?
DOMINIC: At the simplest level, we develop and test ketogenic diets and metabolic therapies, which include supplementation. Under that would be ketone supplementation for a variety of disorders, including seizures, Alzheimer's disease, cancer, ALS, wound healing, just to name a few. But yeah, those are the major ones right now. So basically with an emphasis on diet and nutritional supplementation for these disorders, and less on drugs. We do a little bit of drug research, but it's 90% diet.
ARI: Now, how did you come across – from what you told me before, you originally were trying to find a better drug. So how did you get on the path of looking at nutrition, and specifically the ketogenic diet?
DOMINIC: I was funded by the Department of Defense, and under them is the Office of Navy Research. Divers use a closed circuit rebreathing apparatus, the Navy Seals and Special Ops guys use that, and the advantage is that it's very quiet; the disadvantage is that it can create seizures underwater, and these seizures are resistant to drugs. They're very powerful, what we call grand mal seizures, or tonic-clonic seizures. And giving a Special Ops guy or a Navy Seal anti-seizure drugs is really not a good idea, because it can dull your senses and impair your performance. So I looked into alternative strategies to prevent this, to test in the lab, and I found the ketogenic diet was actually more effective than drugs for preventing seizures. It really blew my mind, the research behind this.
So I focused on the ketogenic diet, not only that, but developing I guess you can say a ketogenic diet in a pill. The version that we're testing is a ketone ester, so you take it orally. Within 15 minutes you have a level of ketones above and beyond what you could achieve with a ketogenic diet. The function of the ketones is that they provide an alternative fuel for the brain, and if the brain has lots of energy, it can actually withstand the oxygen toxicity that triggers a seizure. And the ketones themselves also have neuroprotective properties. So it led to that, developing a high power nutritional supplement based on the ketogenic diet.
And then we found that ketones had all these other applications. Because they function as a very high, dense source of alternative energy for the brain, that they had applications in Alzheimer's disease and in ALS. We're looking at cancer now. Cancer cells have a defect that prevents them from using ketones for energy. They basically have dysfunctional mitochondria. The mitochondria is where the ketones are actually oxidized to make ATP. And wound healing, too. Ketones increase brain blood flow; they also increase blood flow to the periphery, and we can observe this. So they have a number of applications that just kind of exploded out of our seizure project.
ARI: Wow. Without backing up too much, tell me what ketone esters are.
DOMINIC: Your main ketone bodies that your liver produces under periods of carbohydrate restriction would be acetoacetate and beta-hydroxybutyrate. The function of these ketone bodies – think of them as like fats that are water-soluble. You stop eating or you restrict your carbohydrates and you deplete your carbohydrate stores, and your brain is craving some source of energy, and it can't really use the fats very effectively because they can't cross this blood-brain barrier, we call it. So the fats are converted to ketone molecules, which can get to the brain, and they provide energy to the brain.
What we've done is taken basically the two ketone molecules, beta-hydroxybutyrate or acetoacetate, and we've made supplements out of them, either mineral salts of beta-hydroxybutyrate, or esters of acetoacetate. Essentially what an ester is is that you take the ketone molecule and combine it to something that stabilizes it so that when you ingest it orally, your body can break it down in a controlled fashion and it releases the ketone in a rapid and sustained fashion so you have elevated levels in the blood. And that ketone body is actually providing a super fuel to your tissues, and most importantly, your brain and heart.
ARI: The fact that you've been able to isolate that – now, how is what you've created, the ketones in a pill, how is that different from taking MCT oil, for instance?
DOMINIC: MCT oil, when you ingest it, it goes to your liver and is processed and broken down into – it can become ketone bodies through liver metabolism. The elevation of ketones that you get with MCT oil is relatively modest, maybe half of a millimolar or 1 millimolar, if you're into measuring your blood, like I know a few guys out there are. Another problem with MCT is that you have this issue with tolerability. Some people can tolerate several tablespoonfuls, like me, actually. So I can get my ketones pretty high, actually, with MCT. Other people can't even tolerate a teaspoon. They're running to the bathroom with a teaspoon. So that's a limitation. A fatty acid is something that really needs to be processed by the liver for your body to make ketones. The advantage is it's a natural source, it's cheap, it's readily available.
Ketone salts, or ketone esters, are kind of like straight up ketones. You take it and bam, you get rapid elevation of ketones. It might not be one or the other that's optimal for whatever application you're using it for, cognitive or physical performance, but we actually find that when you combine these things, a ketone salt or ester with an MCT oil, that they work kind of independently, but synergistically in a fashion that can help elevate and sustain ketones. So it's not maybe one or the other, but a combination of the two will likely be your best bet. Depending on your application.
ARI: That's interesting. My first question with that then is can you overdose on ketones? Other than the [inaudible 00:07:38] thing.
DOMINIC: Well, we're doing studies now in our rodent models where we go very high in ketosis, and there is a level where you basically start to feel drunk. You feel sedated because your body's dealing with – too much of anything will be toxic, right? The ketone bodies will start to – you're probably familiar with diabetic ketoacidosis, or alcoholic ketoacidosis?
ARI: Right, the fruity smell.
DOMINIC: Yeah. These are a little different, because with diabetic ketoacidosis, your blood glucose is really high, like astronomically high, and your ketones are high. The combination of those two produces an acidic condition in the body. It can cause coma and death, even. Toxicity with a supplemental ketone would be very, very difficult. You'd have to consume a ton of the stuff, and your body has a great capacity to eliminate what it doesn't need, and it would be expensive. The limitation to toxicity would be your gastrointestinal ability to absorb it and get it into the system.
People talk about "If I can get my ketones up to 1 or 2 millimolar" – I was just on the line before you with some researchers who think 1 to 2 millimolar is the sweet spot for performance enhancement. That's really not achievable with MCT. You get almost to 1, but with a ketone salt and a ketone ester, that's very achievable. But you can also achieve 5 or 6. I believe that 5 or 6 millimolar would be good if you have, for example, severe seizures. But for performance enhancement, I think it's putting – ketone bodies are mildly acidic, so at that level, it may be creating an acidic load that your body has to deal with.
Although the salts of our ketone products are buffered with minerals that are very alkaline, so they're kind of pH balanced, you could say. But I don't think there's any advantage to going over 3 millimolar of ketones. Many of the leading researchers would probably support that, like Jeff Volek, a colleague of mine. He would probably say, yeah, once you get above 3, your body's just working to get rid of it, rather than – unless you're really all-out sprinting or something like that, or maybe an Ironman athlete. Maybe 2 or 3. But your body's using it so much, so it'd probably be hard to get up to that level if you're in the middle of training or in the middle of cycling or whatever event you're doing.
ARI: I've done Ironman, and I looked at all sorts of different training methods, and metabolic efficiency was one that came up a lot. Now, I personally was self-directing, and I was basically on a diet that was almost 85% carbs at the time. Which was fine for me, honestly, except for the fact that I was eating every hour, basically.
DOMINIC: That's a disadvantage right there.
ARI: Exactly. And had to eat on the bike and all that stuff. It was fine. Also, the remnants from that, because it's completely different from what my diet is now, is that I got ridiculous sugar addiction once I stopped eating that level of carbs. And I don't have an addictive personality. I know that from years of stuff, and I have legitimately had a battle with a sugar addiction since then.
I guess there's two motivations for looking at a ketogenic diet. One would be if you have an actual disease, something like cancer or some other metabolic syndrome where you really need to starve your body of glucose.
But then there's this other side, which is performance-enhancing, cognitive-enhancing and energy-boosting. Personally, right now, my motivation for having ketones in my body – and I'm not saying ketogenic, because I'm certainly not. I am not low-carb, I'm not 85% carb. My current diet is pretty much high fat. My motivation is that my wife and I have a 22-month-old and twin 6-month-olds, and neither of us sleep very much, and I find that having high fat in my diet is pretty much the only way that I can not just get through the day, but actually really function at a high level. But I'm not getting the benefits of the disease-fighting aspect in that case, because I'm sort of cheating.
DOMINIC: Well, you're pushing your body from being a sugar burner to a fatty acid and perhaps ketone burner. I don't know what your ketone levels are. But whenever you shift away from a glycolytic or glucose-based metabolism to a fatty acid metabolism, especially with your level of exercise performance, you're forcing your mitochondria to be more efficient. You're probably stimulating mitochondrial biogenesis. The healthier your mitochondria are, the greater capacity you have to deal with stress, the more efficient you can convert food into energy. In a high fat diet, your meal frequency goes way down, you're satiated.
I used to eat like six to eight meals a day, actually. I eat two now. I eat a breakfast and a dinner, and they're spaced 12 hours apart, and I don't get hungry during the day. I have some bulletproof coffee during the day, maybe some branched-chain aminos. But it's extremely more practical. I cannot even fathom going back to my early pattern of eating, where I look at my watch and I see, "Okay, two and a half hours went by, I've got to eat." With my lifestyle, I just can't do that, with teaching and research and everything else I do. It would be very inconvenient to do that. And I understand where you're coming from with being a family guy and juggling a lot of things in your training. I can see how that can be a very enormous practical advantage. But you probably are realizing the performance enhancement effects, too, of the high fat intake.
ARI: But not necessarily the disease prevention aspects, right? Like the cancer or – I mean, I don't have a seizure issue, but those kind of things.
DOMINIC: Yeah. For cancer prevention, I think generally just a low carb diet is best. You may want to periodically do a fast, like a short-term fast, three to five days. What that does is, say you have precancerous cells in your body, if you go into fasting ketosis, it's putting an enormous amount of metabolic stress on those cancer cells that are in your body and essentially purging them from your system through autophagy. Your body can deal with them. I think that was probably part of our normal evolution. We did that.
But I tell people who don't want to do a ketogenic diet, just prevention. Just eat low carb and periodically go into nutritional ketosis a couple times a year. For people who really don't want to do a ketogenic diet, I think prevention's a cure for cancer, and periodically going into ketosis could be a very effective strategy to prevent it. And just avoiding any kind of processed carbohydrates and keeping your blood sugar in check, exercise, just kind of the basic things. But a calorie-restricted ketogenic diet for the rest of your life is not very feasible. I actually think the body is best when you cycle it. You do periods of maybe overfeeding, if you have a goal to increase muscle size or strength, and then periods of under-eating is probably the best way the body works.
ARI: I think that's a very good way to frame it. You mentioned nutritional ketosis. For people who don't really know what that is – because that's not exactly the same as saying a ketogenic diet. We're talking about an in between, aren't we?
DOMINIC: Nutritional ketosis is any nutritional method you use to elevate blood ketones. That's my thing. But typically, historically, it's been carbohydrate restriction. If you restrict carbohydrates, your glucose goes down, your liver glycogen gets depleted, and your liver starts pumping out these ketone bodies to replace glucose.
ARI: Right, that's the distinction that I want to make for everybody. With a ketogenic diet, it's more of the idea of eliminating – not eliminating, but restricting severely carbohydrates and protein due to gluconogenesis for the purpose of cutting out glucose. Gluconogenesis being the process of your liver turning lean proteins into sugars. Nutritional ketosis is sort of the other side, where you're just looking at raising the available ketones in your body. It's very, very important to me that people realize this distinction, that you sort of can have your cake and eat it too. As long as it's a low-carb cake.
DOMINIC: Yeah. It really depends on what your goal is. If your goal is to manage seizures, you probably need to be on a strict ketogenic diet to optimize that. Cancer prevention, periodic carbohydrate restriction to induce ketosis could be optimal. If you are an athlete – this begs the question about – and I get this a lot in advanced athletes – sprinters, I don't think should be on a ketogenic diet. Maybe a targeted ketogenic diet where you throw in carbs during the actual event just to maintain muscle glycogen.
But for triathletes, I think adding a little bit of carbs in there, like Ben Greenfield does maybe 100 grams a day or 150, just to keep maybe your muscle glycogen topped off, may be optimal. You might be able to have your cake and eat it. Because I think he even registers ketones with a relatively high carb intake. If you're real active, you can get away with it. You can save your carbs for your dinner. I did that for awhile. When I'm real active, I basically just go ketogenic all day, work out, go home and eat dinner, and just have a salad, vegetables, half a sweet potato, something like that.
ARI: And that's also another good point. My understanding is that triglycerides are a good indicator of your carb tolerance, right?
DOMINIC: Yeah. I think they're a great biomarker.
ARI: Which is really cool. And anything under 100, as I understand, is considered to be pretty good. If you're going above 100, then you're probably having too much carbs. You know Jimmy Moore, cholesterol clarity guy?
DOMINIC: Yeah. Jimmy's a great guy.
ARI: Jimmy's awesome, and I had a really cool interview with him. Of course, we had to start comparing numbers. What I thought was really funny, I think – yeah, this is what it was. When we had the interview, which was maybe a month or so ago, I had just had a blood test because I knew I was going to talk to him, and my triglyceride level was 57. Which is great, and I don't think I'm low carb, but 57 is really good. I looked back at my blood results when I was 85% carb, when I was training for Ironman, and my triglycerides were 74. So apparently, I can handle quite a bit of carbs and still have ketones floating around.
DOMINIC: Yeah. That's probably because you were – it also depends on your calorie balance. If you're in a high carbohydrate diet, but you're at even a mild calorie deficit, like 10%, 20% for that week or something like that, your triglycerides are going to be low, because you're pulling them from your system and oxidizing them as fuel. But keep in mind, I think one simple rule is that carbohydrates spare fats. So if you're giving your body glucose as an energy source, then it's going to say "I don't want to use the fats because you're giving me glucose." They're going to be spared in the blood and they're going to register on your blood triglyceride reading.
My triglycerides I think were really low, like 30s or 40s, when I fasted and then did a strict ketogenic diet. I think now they run around 50; 40 or 50. They're still pretty low. Really low.
ARI: Yeah, that's really cool. Another thing I want to talk about, which may be slightly outside of your realm of research, but I'm sure you're going to have a little opinion on it. The other motivation for me personally for being high fat is that I have found that a high fat diet – avocados, grass-fed butter, those kind of things have been very anti-inflammatory for me as someone with Crohn's disease. But obviously, chronic inflammation is at the heart of so many illnesses. Am I making that up?
DOMINIC: No, I'm glad you bring that up. It's not something I talk about much, but I think it's extremely important, and I think your case reflects it. The application of the ketogenic diet, or a low carbohydrate, high fat diet with quality foods like you mentioned will have a powerful anti-inflammatory effect on the body, which will be reflected in low C-reactive protein levels. Mine actually doesn't even register, it's so low. Whereas previous blood reports showed it was pretty elevated when I was on more high carb.
I think the benefits of that cannot be overstated, and I think that you're a walking example of that. I just see so many people who their muscles don't ache, their GI problems are resolved, their brain fog is gone. And I think it's a combination of controlling your blood glucose, and a ketogenic diet, high fat diet, tends to control your appetite, too, so you're less likely to just overeat, and then you're less likely to binge and less likely to have these blood glucose excursions, if you will, that go up into the dangerous zone. Which can kick on a whole host of inflammatory processes.
You eliminate that process in your body, your blood glucose is stable, your body's antioxidant mechanisms are more robust and upregulated from the fuel that you're giving it, and your mitochondria are more healthy because you're forcing your mitochondria to burn fat for energy. If you're giving glucose, the mitochondria get sluggish, and our metabolic health really is reflected upon our mitochondrial health, which is much better if we're on a fat-based, low carb diet.
ARI: It's really exciting for me to hear that, because for all the time that I've been doing the Less Doing stuff and wellness has been part of that, I never intended to – and I haven't – created a diet, but I'm always recommending that people increase good fats. For a couple reasons, one of which is I feel like most people in the standard American diet simply don't get enough good fats. They're not eating the olive oil and the avocados, and certainly not the grass-fed butter. Simply increasing that, to me, is already a benefit. And it's really great to see that there's research to back that up.
DOMINIC: Yeah, absolutely.
ARI: What's next in your research? What are you excited about?
DOMINIC: A lot of things. Actually, everything. But yeah, I have some really great – my graduate students, my Ph.D. students are the ones driving the research, so it's kind of a neat transition when you go from being a Ph.D. student to a postdoc to doing all your research and then getting more settled in a lab and getting students to do your research. I have research going on now and I can just pop into the lab and see blood ketones being measured, looking at tumor growth in one room. I have all these projects going on.
I think I'm most excited about the cancer work, because it was so unexpected. I got into ketogenic diets, and I stumbled upon Thomas Seyfried's work with the calorie-restricted ketogenic diet. We also had an observation that high levels of oxygen make cancer cells explode, and we didn't see this with normal cells, so it was like we have to test this idea of combining the ketogenic diet with hyperbaric oxygen. And when we did, the results were so dramatic. We recently got that published. But now that we've developed ketone supplementation, ketone supplements tend to lower blood glucose. We don't know exactly how it's working, but we did a study, it's under review now, showing that simple ketone supplementation, even to a standard diet with carbohydrates in it, has a profound anti-cancer effect and increases survival tremendously in a model of advanced metastatic cancer. So the cancer stuff is really exciting to me.
Another thing is just developing and testing different ketone supplements that can be used for pathological conditions, but also applied to athletes to enhance performance. Working with University of Tampa right now in developing a protocol where we're looking at advanced athletes, like advanced bodybuilders, and looking at the effect of the ketogenic diet and ketone supplementation in the form of MCT, and looking at strength and looking at metabolic biomarkers and looking at body composition. So this will be a really interesting study, because nothing like it has been done before.
So I have a combination of things I'm really excited about, both rodent models and in human models. Just a lot of potential for what we call metabolic therapy, and not too many people are doing stuff like this. It's kind of surprising. Well, I guess there's not a lot of research for nutrition. That's why I call it metabolic therapy, because if I write a grant and say I'm going to study the ketogenic diet or low carb diet, the funding agencies just kind of roll their eyes, like "Ugh, another diet study. This isn't novel. This isn't exciting." But if I repackage it into metabolic therapy and innovative ways to elevate ketone metabolic substrate – so I have to use scientific jargon and terminology to win over the hearts of funding agencies, and it becomes kind of tricky. Luckily, we've had some really generous donations come in to the lab to really help our research along and been really fortunate to have a few generous people donate to our lab.
ARI: That's great. It's got to be exciting, too, to be able to do research that you yourself can live, actually, as far as the diet. Because if you're testing a new drug or something, you really can't just pop that in your vein and see what happens.
DOMINIC: Yeah. Say we do test a number of different drugs and they work, and then you have to file an investigational new drug report. It's literally like millions of dollars to get that thing into the public hands, and like 10 years. And in our hands, I have the ability to test different things in our rodent model, and basically we're finding that forcing your body to shift from one physiological state to another with nutrition has a powerful neuroprotective effect, anti-seizure effect. It basically is kicking on a genetic program in your body to confer protection against a number of different things.
By enhancing your metabolism and persevering your mitochondrial function, it makes the nuclear genome do its thing better. So DNA repair mechanisms are more robust. Even by enhancing metabolism, it's actually preserving the fidelity of your nuclear genome and preserving the function of your cells. I think that's a real important thing to understand. There's a lot of these targeted approaches, especially for cancer, but if you keep the nucleus of the cell healthy by keeping the bioenergetic state of the cells very robust and healthy, you're going to prevent cancer, you're going to prevent the early onset of many chronic diseases, and it can be used as an effective treatment, too.
ARI: Wonderful. We're out of time now. I just want to ask you the last question that I always ask everybody on the podcast, which is what are your top three personal productivity tips? What makes you more effective every day?
DOMINIC: Productivity tips. Sleep I think is a big one. Sleep, actually. I just noticed, I went through a couple days without getting sleep and it taxed my productivity. Diet. A high fat, low carb diet decreases my meal frequency, and when I do, I have stable blood glucose. I just have more energy to do what I need to do, and less food preparation and all that stuff. So sleep, diet, and just downtime, quality downtime. I do walks with my girlfriend, play with my puppy during the day. I think I really need that downtime to kind of reboot and get my mind back into work mode where I can attack work. When I wake up in the morning, I just want to attack work like an animal. But only if I'm well-nourished and have proper sleep and have good downtime. Sometimes we lose track of those things when life gets busy, and we need to put things in perspective.
ARI: That's absolutely true. Dom, thank you for those. I think those were three great tips. Thank you for all that really amazing information. Where can people find out more about you and follow what you're doing and what you're eating?
DOMINIC: (laughs) What I'm eating. You know, I keep a website called ketonutrition.org. It's mostly because I get hammered with a lot of emails from patients just wanting more information, so I've compiled a lot of information on that ketonutrition, all one word, .org website. I've done a number of podcasts, so if you look at podcasts – I just did a TED Talk last week, so that'll be up pretty soon, probably in about a month or so because they've got to edit it. Yeah, I would go there and just look at our research too. I probably have to edit that website and put more things up. But I really need to develop a website. I've been so busy with research, though, I need to actually do the research and get more studies done so I have something to show on the website. But we're in the process of that.
ARI: We'll link to that in the show notes.
DOMINIC: Okay, cool.
ARI: Okay, again, Dom, thank you so much, and I hope we get a chance to talk to you again in the future.
DOMINIC: Thanks. My pleasure being here.
ARI: Have a good one.
DOMINIC: Appreciate it. Bye.

Happy Monday to you, Followers. Hope you had a great weekend.
As for me, well, I'm a bit upset. For less on that–as well as other semi-related Cougar news–read on.
Followers, as my second favorite group, Simply Red (Air Supply is my first favorite group), sang in their classic 80-90's : "If you don't know me by now, you will never, ever, ever, know me…oooh….oooh…oooh.."
Simply Red or Air Supply? Do you Know?
And so, when you see me stretching to find ANYTHING substantive to write about in the middle of football season, well, you probably know what's going on inside my little black heart.
Hi, I'm a Black Hole.
In other words, its hard to find a whole lot of enthusiasm about anything Cougar these days, unless you're jacked about Ken Bone's newest recruit getting busted for having "less than 40gs of pot" on him last week.
Fortunately for us, the next few days threatens to change all that. For example, later tonight, we might find out what new form of competition Mike Leach brings to practice! I mean, last night it was soccer penalty kicks, last week it was dodgeball, followed by the old mighty egg toss.
So, tonight I'm doubling down on either Twister or Parcheezi–hoping to god that Leach doesn't pull out the old "resort to the sack race" trick…….
Beyond that, there's always the chance that football might become interesting again. And in all candor, I'm suspecting that it just might.
In fact, I'm willing to double down that we will see two BIG upsets in the Pac-12 this weekend. The question of course is "which one?"
So, in an effort to ruin my Football Friday post five days early, I give you the three games from which two shockers will result….
USC @ Arizona
Oregon State @ Washington
Washington State @ Stanford
Your charge is to pick the two–assuming that you're up to the competition.
That's all I got for today. Sure was fun watching the Dawgs get run, wasn't it?
Go Cougs!

Perfect - these are great everyday earrings. I bought them for a wedding and have worn them pretty frequently after that. They are classy but simple - goes with everything.
- April 11, 2014
I love these. Big enough to be a bit of a statement, but small enough to not bother me when on the phone or even sleeping overnight. I think my white ones look bigger than the grey ones pictured above, but maybe I have smaller ears?
- April 18, 2013
Love them! Perfect size!

Great earrings. Wear them every day.

The earrings are very pretty, but I was disappointed in the color. The "pink" ones don't look any different from the white ones.

Andre Ward's Trainer Virgil Hunter Talks Trash with Carl Froch

Hatton calls for meeting with Warren to discuss Crolla-Burns showdown
Promoter Ricky Hatton says he is willing to sit down with rival promoter Frank Warren to try and make a Battle of Britain between Ricky Burns and Anthony Crolla. The former two-weight world champion promotes fast rising British 135lb title holder Crolla, and believes he'll become a world force next year. Hatton wants the Mancunian to face Warren's WBO interim champion Burns next. "The main forces in the domestic lightweight scene are Ricky Burns and Anthony," Hatton said. "Promoters should try and work together in order to give the British boxing fans the fights I'm sure they would love to see. Although I and Frank have had our differences in the past, the respect I have for him has neither been in question. I would sit down with Frank in order for British fans to see the best fights."
Burns was ringside to watch Crolla retain his title with a points thrashing of Willie Limond two weeks ago, and the England vs Scotland showdown between the pair has been mooted since then.
Q&A: Delvin Rodriguez and the quest for a championship
By Mariano A. Agmi

Miguel Cotto vs. Antonio Margarito II was not the only high profile rematch taking place at Madison Square Garden on December 3rd. Fresh off the biggest win of his career, a ten round unanimous decision over Pawel "Raging Bull" Wolak, top junior middleweight contender Delvin Rodriguez spoke to Fightnews.com about his victory, what is next for his career, and when we can expect him back in the ring.
Rodriguez and Wolak first fought to a ten round draw in New York City in July of this year, in an action fight that is a top candidate for fight of the year. The bout was full of ebbs and flows, with Wolak applying constant pressure despite a grotesquely swollen eye while Rodriguez relied on superior boxing skills and a vicious short right uppercut. The draw set up a rematch on the biggest of stages, and Rodriguez (26-5-3, 14 KOs), a Dominican native now living in Danbury, CT, made the most of it by clearly outboxing Wolak, sending the Polish-American reeling into retirement in the final round.

The Filipino Wrecking Machine, Mark Munoz, had a great year in 2011 with victories over C.B. Dollaway, Demian Maia, and Chris Leben.

Pawel Wolak, always exciting and always entertaining fighter, who just couple of days ago lost his last fight with Delvin Rodriguez in Madison Square Garden, has decided to call it quits.
This is Polish Raging Bull official statement: "I am at peace with my decision to retire from boxing. I left it all in the ring and I have absolutely no regrets. I got to do what most people will never be able to and I couldn't be more proud to have been part of the best sport in the world. I will stay active, busy and in boxing shape as I have done since 17 years old but I hope to help other fighters in the NY area in their careers. The list of people to thank is too long but you all know you are. Thank you to my core team, my family, my friends and the fans who have made me a better husband, man, father, son and fighter. I am forever grateful. Thank you to Top Rank for always having my back and to the boxing media who have always been fair and treated me with respect. I am not going to do any interviews at this time. While I am retiring I am staying under contract for the duration of my contract terms with both Top Rank and my manager Cameron Dunkin" – said Wolak

Key participants in the "Capital Showdown" card participated in an open workout in the heart of Washington, DC at the Kennedy Recreation Center.

New Hall of Famers Johnson, Roach, meet in DC
By Gary "Digital" Williams
Two of the members of the International Boxing Hall of Fame class of 2012 learned about their inductions while in Washington, DC. One is a native who many people say is the greatest boxer to come out of the Washington area since Sugar Ray Leonard. The other is in DC on business preparing one of his top boxers for a championship title defense Three-time world champion Mark "Too Sharp" Johnson and legendary trainer Freddie Roach exchanged congratulations during the open workout for the Capital Showdown card. Both men talked with Fightnews about their inductions.
"This is a dream come true for me. Even without getting the right fights, I made it in. I think being the first African-American to be a flyweight champion was big. It was a hard road, but all I can say is wow. After five years, to be inducted on the first ballot like Marvelous Marvin Hagler and Sugar Ray Leonard and to go in with Thomas Hearns, it's a dream come true." – Mark "Too Sharp" Johnson
"To be inducted is a great thrill. My mentor, Eddie Futch is there and now I'm right there with him. To be in the same class with Thomas Hearns, a great fighter, Michael Buffer, a great announcer and with Mark, it is just a great thrill." – Freddie Roach

Don Da Bomb, ready for Andrade
By Johnny B'
Chicago's world ranked USBA super middleweight champion Donovan George (22-1-1, 19 KOs) aka Da Bomb, is ready for the big time. To prove he's worthy of his world ranking, and to obtain a chance for the opportunity to challenge undefeated IBF world champion Lucien Bute, Donovan needs to be impressive and victorious in his next fight. In that match Don will face hard-punching perennial contender Librado Andrade (30-4, 23 KOs). The bout is a twelve round IBF eliminator and will take place on December 17th in Cozumel, Mexico.

Interview: Former champion Alex 'El Nene' Sanchez explains his comeback plans
Former world champion Alex 'El Nene' Sanchez (31-7-1, 21 KOs) of Puerto Rico returns to the ring for the first time in nearly four years this Friday. Sanchez will take on former world title challenger Glen Donaire (17-4-1, 9 KOs) of the Philippines. The bout is scheduled for 12 rounds with the WBC Latin flyweight title at stake and the winner likely finding himself elgible to challenge for a world title. No one could ever deny that Sanchez fought the best with names like Hall of Famer Ricardo Lopez and future hall of famer Ivan Calderon on the top of a long list of top opposition. His seven losses and one draw all were either former, current, or future world champions at the time he fought them, so the numbers speak for themselves. Now at 38 years of age, Sanchez still has the hunger to again position him to challenge and win a world title. Fightnews spoke with Sanchez as he is just days away from his big comeback. (more…)

"I hope that we are welcoming in the Polish Museum of America, with traditional bread and salt, a future boxing world champion, Andrzej Fonfara," said Museum director, Jan. M.

But I'm not overlooking Phil Williams. Last time when we were supposed to fight, he said that he didn't have enough time to prepare. This time he got two months to be ready, so no excuses this time," said light heavyweight Fonfara, who spent the last 4 weeks in Australia as a primary sparring partner of cruiserweight Danny Green.

Guzman-Cayo in Dominican Super Fight?
By Gabriel F. Cordero
A source has indicated to us that the possibility exists for a showdown between Dominican boxers Joan Guzman and Victor Manuel Cayo, the two best super lightweights in the country. Guzman reappeared in October after one year of inactivity with a first round KO over Florencio Castellanos in Santo Domingo. The source indicates that it is very difficult to make this fight with the first serious obstacle being the financial demands of the former double world champion Guzman. Dominican IBF female featherweight champion Dahiana Santana could make her first title defense on the card, as well.
Lemieux back Saturday: Steaming Bull ready to land leather against Alcine in Montreal
By Dave Spencer / Fightnews Canada
Knockout artist David Lemieux (25-1 24KO) said all the right things Wednesday afternoon as the middleweight put the final touches on his preparations at a public workout session in advance of this Saturday's local match-up against former world champion Joachim Alcine (32-2-1 19KO) at the Bell Centre in Montreal. There was the talk of how new trainer Marc Ramsay was just what the doctor ordered; how he had learned valuable lessons from his only defeat, a stunning knockout loss to the hands of Marco Antonio Rubio in April; how he is prepared for twelve tough rounds against a quality opponent in Alcine.
But scratch below the surface a little bit and it won't take much to uncover the one man wrecking crew who scored 24 knockouts in his first 25 professional fights. (more…)

From a local amateur promotion all the way to the top tier, international competition of the UFC, all MMA fighters are universally preparing themselves to be better in all aspects of hand-to-hand combat.
