Dave Inglis wins $25,000 at the Ontario Centres of Excellence start-up competition
Co-Founder of Concussion Toolbox Inc.
Lazaridis School of Business & Economics
May 25/12
Steve Farlow, Schlegel Centre for Entrepreneurship - firstname.lastname@example.com
Emerging from Lauriers Entrepreneurship Accelerator, the Concussion Toolbox - a start-up co-founded by recent graduate Dave Inglis - was named winner of a prestigious business plan competition run by the Ontario Centres of Excellence (OCE) at the annual Discovery Conference on May 14-15, 2012 in Toronto. A $25,000 prize was awarded to help launch the new venture.Co-founded by Dave Inglis and Dr. Michael Cinelli, Assistant Professor: Kinesiology & Physical Education, the Concussion Toolbox is a mobile application that delivers technology-driven baseline assessment of athletes at risk of a concussion and aggregates industry test results into an athlete profile to enable therapists to make an evidence-based return to play decision.
Dave developed the start-up through Lauriers Entrepreneurship Accelerator course in the Winter 2012 term. First offered in 2005, the course takes entrepreneurship education to the next level by integrating a structured venture launch process into the curriculum. Delivered by the Schlegel Centre for Entrepreneurship at the Communitech Hub, the course is offered to undergraduate and MBA students by application only.Working alongside Dr. Michael Cinelli as a member of Lauriers Kinesiology research community was the catalyst for me developing a passion for innovating in the area of concussion management, and created the foundation for the concept I brought into Lauriers Entrepreneurship Accelerator, said Dave. I was able to leverage the launch process, mentorship, and professional services offered through the course to prove my concept, survey potential customers and the market, and ultimately build a strong plan for the venture. I also developed the confidence and skills to pitch the start-up to investors and potential partners to raise funding. Now that I have graduated and am pursuing my venture full time, I can tell you that Lauriers Entrepreneur Accelerator has provided me with invaluable knowledge, skills and experience that are transferable to any endeavor I may pursue in the future. Im extremely excited to continue turning my idea into a real enterprise.
Dave Inglis and Matthew Reid, a fellow Kinesiology student who recently joined the Concussion Toolbox, worked together to submit a business plan in late March to represent Laurier in OCEs Experiential Learning Competition. Dave then presented the business opportunity at OCEs Discovery Conference last week, where the start-up was one of three winning ventures out of eight finalist teams from post-secondary institutions across Ontario. The winners were selected by a panel of experienced entrepreneurs and venture capitalists based on the potential of the venture as outlined in a written business plan and presentation.Dave, with his science background is a great example of us delivering on our mission to ensure that every student at Laurier has the opportunity to experience entrepreneurship, says Steve Farlow, Executive Director: Schlegel Centre for Entrepreneurship. Innovation and entrepreneurship are vital to society today and as such Laurier students must develop the knowledge and skills to turn new ideas into the great enterprises of tomorrow.
The Entrepreneurship Accelerator is partly funded by the Ontario Centres of Excellence's (OCE) Experiential Learning Program (ELP) which supports Ontario post-secondary institutions to manage and grow established project- and experience-based programs for young entrepreneurs that will accelerate and further enhance the quality of new ventures and industry collaborations arising from Ontario academic institutions. Students benefit from hands-on management, education, technical and vital business support services, networking resources, and financial advice.

I can't wait until that game where the Lakers are getting demolished on the boards, and MDA keeps Dwight on the bench cause...ya know....substitution patterns...you can't break from them.
It's the less tangible things that MDA does that really pissed me the **** off. Unwillingness (incapability???) to adjust on the fly. Supreme stubbornness to the point it seems he'd rather set the ship ablaze and watch it burn and sink as opposed to even remotely consider steering it the direction that someone else suggested, especially when your route doesn't seem to be taking it anywhere.
Just wait...I can see either a combo of Lee/Bogut/Ezeli or Thompson/Cousins/Hayes, grabbing boards left right and center, and Kobe is looking at MDA like "why in the hell is Jamison still out here??!?!" and MDA is like:

RIYADH -- Celebratory gunfire at a wedding party in eastern Saudi Arabia Tuesday night brought down an electric cable, killing 23 people, a local civil defense official said.
"At the wedding, the cable fell on a metal door and the 23 people who died were all electrocuted," Eastern Province official Abdullah Khashman said by phone.
However, the al-Jazeera news organization cited local media reports that some of the casualties died as a result of a fire caused by the downed cable. The local reports said the dead were women and children.
Shooting at weddings banned
A photograph of the aftermath of the accident, published on local newspapers' websites, showed a large courtyard strewn with fallen chairs and a pole in the middle supporting cables carrying lightbulbs.
All those killed were from the same tribe, Khashman said. Thirty others were injured in the incident near Abqaiq, a center of the Saudi energy industry.
Saudi Arabia banned the shooting of firearms at weddings, a popular tradition in tribal areas of the conservative Islamic kingdom, last month.
Eastern Province governor Prince Mohammed bin Fahd ordered an investigation into the incident, the official Saudi Press Agency reported.
Reuters contributed to this report.

"Am I in the right place?"
But, sure enough, a guy with pointy ears and a huge sword came around the corner of the convention center.
It was the right place, but my car was parked in the wrong place.
RealmsCon which was held Oct. 12-14, now in its eighth year, was pretty awesome.
Where else could you get to see movie actors, TV voice actors, cartoon voice actors and every single anime character you could imagine mingling with video game characters or comic book artists?
One would never think that a convention of this sort would bring much of a crowd in Corpus Christi, but the American Bank Center was packed.
There were good anime characters fighting bad ones.
Foam sword fights in one corner, Boba Fett in the other. Homemade costumes that would make their parents blush, or shake their head.
It was quite the sight to see.
Especially since it was in our own backyard.
Panels on how to make your own dolls, do the best zombie makeup, design a cosplay costume as well as concerts and actors talking about their craziest times on set, filled the rooms that lined the upstairs portion of the convention.
Dealer booths and artists lined the walls of the lower portion selling... interesting items, to say the least, that any anime fan would enjoy.
And though only spending a few hours there among the fascinating, albeit odd, crowd, it became evident to me that there was a place for everyone in this world.
But this place was just more awesome.

I'm not sure if this is in the right place, because I'm asking a question purely out of curiosity. I hope this doesn't start another debate topic, because that's not my intention. I was reading an article that had people basically giving their opinions on extended BF, and made me think of a question, but it wasn't answered in the article. Oh, by the way, I'm not BF Isabelle for very long, but I plan to go at least a little bit longer with the next baby (that's why this question is just out of curiosity).
Those of you that are doing extended BF, does your baby also drink out of a cup? I know that probably seems like a dumb question, but I really don't know. If I BF my next baby beyond a year, will they drink from a cup and BF? Or just one or the other?

Police said a woman's computer was stolen from her in a brazen crime at the Memorial Union Wednesday night.
The University of Wisconsin-Madison Police Department said at about 9:15 p.m. a UW-Madison student was studying with friends at the Lakefront on Langdon Cafe. A man walked up to the table where she was seated, grabbed her laptop and ran, police said.
"This happened so quickly, she almost stood there in a sense of shock," UW police spokesman Marc Lovicott said. "I can imagine anyone would have that same reaction because it's such a bold move to make."
Police said the bold nature of the theft is concerning. The thief simply grabbed the computer and ran off, saying nothing.
The victim said nothing and did not put up a fight. Police said there was not a weapon or other implied threat.
Witnesses told UWPD they had seen the thief about 20 minutes before the computer was taken acting suspiciously. He was possibly scoping out the area for a potential target, according to the report.
"Twenty minutes prior there was a guy walking around that didn't belong and was looking suspicious, and people had noted that he was looking very suspicious," Lovicott said. "We want to make sure people are aware that they can call us and should call us if something doesn't look right or if someone doesn't look right."
Police shared two photos of the man investigators are seeking and asked for the community's help identifying him. Officials are not sure if the two men they are looking for are UW students or not.
Surveillance video also showed a man wearing a green camouflage jacked and red hooded sweatshirt, blue jeans, dark shoes and a striped red white and black stocking cap entering the building.
A possible second suspect is described as a Latino man, heavyset build who was wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt, dark jeans and white shoes.
Police asked anyone with information on the theft to call 608-264-2677.

In March, the Friends of the Mill Valley Library will present films featuring Greta Garbo.
Conquest (1937)March 18th, Monday @ 7:30 p.m.
Countess Marie Walewska (Greta Garbo) formally meets Napoleon Bonaparte (Charles Boyer) at a ball in Warsaw.

She goes to him despite the humiliation of her husband. They are extremely happy for a while; Napoleon divorces childless Empress Josephine and Marie eventually becomes pregnant. She is about to tell Napoleon about her baby when he tells her he decided to marry Arch-duchess Marie Louise of Austria. He explains it will be a political marriage. Marie leaves to have her baby alone without telling Napoleon she is expecting his child.Doors open at 7:00. This series is sponsored by The Friends of the Mill Valley Library.

- A comparison of atmospheric pressure chemical ionization and electrospray ionization in testing for amphetamine-type substances and ketamine using ultra-performance liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry

- Abstract
- The development of reliable atmospheric pressure ionization (API) interfaces in the coupling of liquid chromatography to mass spectrometry (LC/MS) is the primary reason that LC/MS systems are now commonplace in the working toxicology laboratory. The principles of electrospray ionization (ESI) or atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) in LC/MS analysis have been described, with reported advantages in their application dependent on the characteristics of the target organic compound. While both ESI and APCI have proven to be sensitive and robust, the ESI interface is the more widely used in toxicology and therapeutic drug monitoring, as it allows the sensitive determination of analytes with higher molecular masses, such as proteins, and those with high polarity, such as conjugated drug metabolites. Although the majority of organic compounds of interest do respond to ESI, APCI was developed as an alternative for the analysis of lipophilic compounds and molecules of generally moderate mass, polarity, and volatility. In addition, studies have suggested that APCI demonstrates a reduced susceptibility to matrix effects and ion suppression.

March 21, 2013 | Portland Tribune-- Portland police and fire bureaus may shoulder more of the budget-cutting load this year, as the City Council grapples with a $25 million budget shortfall.
Interviews with city commissioners revealed an emerging consensus that public safety agencies won't enjoy the same protection from the budget ax they had under former Mayor Sam Adams.
Public safety bureaus were "held somewhat harmless" in recent years, said city Commissioner Nick Fish, when they were cut at half the percentage rate of other general fund agencies. "We cannot use the old formula any more," said Fish, former commissioner for two of those agencies, parks and housing.
"I understand what Nick is saying, and I'm not averse to that," said city Commissioner Dan Saltzman.
City Commissioner Steve Novick is digging deep into the police budget, questioning longstanding policing practices in a quest to help balance the 2013-14 budget.
"I'm looking into the Police Bureau because, as Willie Sutton said, that's where the money is," Novick said.
Commissioners Amanda Fritz and Saltzman, when asked to list their top priorities to shrink the budget shortfall, both cited cutting police and fire overtime spending.
"That's going to be my first question: Why is overtime so high?" Fritz said.
In the police, fire and other bureaus, Saltzman said, overtime is such a "cultural norm" that workers have READ FULL ARTICLE

Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands ReviewBy Patrick Klepek - Posted May 18, 2010
Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands is, at times, an enjoyable revisit to the classic The Sands of Time, but the largely uninspired -- though still fun -- gameplay provides a stark reminder that Ubisoft moved on from The Sands of Time for a reason.
The Pros
- The base platforming from The Sands of Time is still really fun
- Incredible sandstorm sequence at the end that must be seen to be believed
- The new water power adds an incredible layer of challenge (sometimes)
The Cons
- Everything from the story to the combat to the gameplay tweaks feel uninspired
- The difficulty is arbitrarily ramped up at the end, nearly ruining the game
- Prince of Persia still doesn't know how to do satisfying combat
I'm an unapologetic fan of Ubisoft's Prince of Persia reboot from late 2008. Prince of Persia was a progressive step forward for 3D platformers, punctuated by its welcomed middle-finger to the "Game Over" screen. Don't get me wrong, my love for Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is profound, but I've been there, done that. Ubisoft moved on for a good reason. When it announced a return to Jordan Mechner's world with Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands, timed to the release of the big-budget Prince of Persia movie, the move reeked of cash-in.
Think of The Forgotten Sands as a high-definition Sands of Time remix. It's different, but not. There's enough "new" here that The Forgotten Sands doesn't feel like a complete retread of where we've already been, even if nothing added to the new game feels especially inspired. The platforming remains the backbone of this franchise and despite not being given very much to work with (the environments for which the platforming segments are generated have never felt more contrived), the level designers do find ways to do wonders with The Forgotten Sands. There's a flow to Prince of Persia's gameplay, one that's still present here, which clicks when the player is able to string together death-defying jump after jump without missing a beat. Prince of Persia, at its core, has more in common with a rhythm game than platforming. Platforming is simply the medium.
There are attempts to make the standard platforming more interesting, to limited effect. The Prince will gain access to additional powers. One allows him to freeze water, making it a usable platform. Another generates a platform out of thin air, albeit only one at a time (which makes little sense, outside of creating frustrating moments where the wrong platform appears). All of the powers are underutilized, thanks to a lack of meaningful implementation. They're implemented for variety, not purpose. There are moments of genius for the water power, however. Remember the rhythm game comparison? The Forgotten Sands has a handful of memorable platforming sequences in which the Prince is driven forward by an attacking enemy, buildings crumbling around him, and players must perfectly time leaps from branch-to-branch, freezing water mid-jump. Every time, you're that close to messing up…but, when The Forgotten Sands is at its best, you don't. You just skate close. The sheer elation of reaching the end of a challenging run, one that's enhanced by serious finger dexterity, is undeniably exhilarating because of the physicality. The biggest problem is those moments don't happen nearly enough. They shouldn't be pleasant surprises.
I frown at bringing up combat because, once again, The Forgotten Sands finds itself unable to come up with a convincing reason to force the player to battle so often when the developers can't develop a decent fighting system. Is anyone's favorite memory from any Prince of Persia game the sword fighting? Combat really didn't work that well in Sands of Time, it was arguably worse (though prettier!) in Prince of Persia '08 and for The Forgotten Sands, Ubisoft's solution seems to be the "bigger is better" approach of throwing 50 enemies on the screen. An unnecessarily convoluted upgrade system gives players the illusion of customizing their Prince, but there's little player choice in the matter and, bizarrely, you'll experience most of the upgrades in the game's last hour. Pro-tip: powering up the ice power completely breaks the combat and I cruised through the rest of the game unchallenged. Not that I was complaining about less combat, mind you.
If it sounds like The Forgotten Sands is a series of highs and lows, that's because it is. It's a game filled with heightened moments of elation followed by stretches of frustrating mediocrity. It nearly all falls apart at the very end, too, when the game creates an unnecessary wall of difficulty by asking the player to accomplish ridiculous feats of timing totally out of line with the rest of the game. The Forgotten Sands' flow walks a very fine line, wanting to give the appearance of challenge but without breaking the player's forward momentum. When you stop moving in this game, you stop having fun. To this end, one of the final stretches in The Forgotten Sands crafts arbitrary difficulty through an uncontrollable camera viewpoint and timed jumps that rely less on skillful use of the Prince's abilities than it is blind memorization of hard-as-nails jumps.
It's nearly almost all redeemed, however, by an amazing out-of-nowhere sandstorm at the end, one of the most energetic "oh crap" moments I've ever experienced in a game. I'm tempted to recommend The Forgotten Sands so for more people to experience this part. It almost made me want to pull out a terrible "jaw on the floor" cliché. Damn, you got me.
When the credits started to roll, I felt a bit empty. Though the gameplay's hot and cold, I enjoyed playing Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands, but compared to its inspiration, Sands of Time, or its most recent reboot, this new title is soulless. It doesn't have much reason to exist, except that there's a movie based on Sands of Time coming out, the formula from the original game is still a fun one and it's easy to make up a new story about sand. In this case, The Forgotten Sands is really "Sands of Time HD," but that game had heart. Series fans will find reasons to like The Forgotten Sands, but, Dear Ubisoft, it's time to move on.

text: That is unbelievable!!!! I am just visiting my gp today. My lactation consultant advised me to try reglan a perscription to acheive relactation my daughter is 6 months old and has been off the breast for 4 months. I am so excited to give it a try. I exclusively breastfed my 3 year old until she weaned herself at 8 to 9 months. I regret stopping with my new little girl but had no choice in the matter. When she was 10 days old she had menengitis viral not bacterial and she was in the hospital for 4 days. She was fed formula at night. It was then that the drop in milk supply started. Then the week before her hospital visit she was in the hospital with me as I had 104 fever and they thought I had a uterine infection. So my darling fiancee would let me sleep through the night while he fed her formula. So actually that is when it started. It had turned out I had the same strain of virus that put her in the hospital the next weekend. Anyhow I see that you gave up after 4 weeks and then started when your baby was 7 months that is so encouraging!!!!!I am so excited and will let you guys know what happens! My name is Jenn by the way nice to meet all of you!Originally Posted by heartsickmom

Ohio Northern University professor, research assistants present posters at neuroscience conference
Phillip Zoladz, Ohio Northern University assistant professor of psychology, presented two posters at the 43rd annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience in San Diego on Nov. 9-13.
Five research assistants (three current ONU students and two alumni) from Zoladz's laboratory joined him for the presentation. The topics of the two posters were "Stress administered immediately before learning reduces false memory production and selectively enhances true memory in females" and "Pre-learning social evaluative stress exerts sex-specific effects on long-term picture memory."
The two ONU alumni were Ashlee Warnecke, a 2011 psychology graduate from Kalida, Ohio, and Julia Pisansky a 2013 psychology graduate from Canfield, Ohio. The three current students were David Peters, a fourth-year pharmacy major from Canton, Ohio; Andrea Kalchik, a senior psychology major from Zanesville, Ohio; and Rachael Aufdenkampe, a senior psychology major from Vermilion, Ohio.
"Having undergraduate students present their research findings at such a large, internationally recognized conference exemplifies what our program at ONU is all about: that is, using high-impact practices to graduate students who are professionally socialized and research ready," Zoladz said. "The research experience that students undergo in my laboratory very much resembles graduate-level training and provides them with a significant advantage over the competition when applying for graduate study."
More than 30,000 neuroscientists traveled to San Diego in mid-November to take part in Neuroscience 2013, the world's largest meeting focused on scientific discovery related to the brain and nervous system.
The event brought to life more than 15,000 scientific presentations showing innovative advances in techniques and valuable new research about brain structure, health, disease and treatments. In addition to the posters and scientific lectures, the meeting featured 600 exhibitors and 34 professional development workshops and networking functions.

Cole Hamels was victorious again in San Diego thanks to some late inning offense from an unlikely source. The Phils have won two straight in San Diego, and haven't lost at Petco Park since August 16th, 2008.
– Hamels increased his lifetime record at Petco Park in 12 starts against the Padres. According to the AP, in his last four starts against the Padres, he's 4-0 with a 0.60 ERA. He is 7-2 lifetime in San Diego.
– Cole balked twice in the game, the first time ever in his career he was cited for two infractions in one game. In the second inning, after retiring Andy Parrino at thrid on a bunt by Edinson Volquez, Hamels balked with Chris Denorfia at the plate, moving Orlando Hudson and Volquez up to second and third respectively. After hitting Denorfia with a pitch to load the bases, Hamels stuck out Cameron Maybin to end the scoring threat. In the forth, second base umpire Bob Davidson called a balk on Hamels on what he believed to be an improper step off of the rubber. Replays showed that the balk call was dubious at best.
– It was another one of 'those' game where the offense decided to take its jolly time plating runners until the latter innings. The Phils left runners stranded on base in the first three innings and couldn't cash in.
– The Phils didn't get on the board until the seventh when Brian Schneider and Juan Pierre hit RBI singles.
– Sandwiched in between the Schneider and Pierre at-bats was another strike out for Jim Thome. Pinch hitting for Hamels in the seventh with runners on second and third, Thome fanned in a big spot of the game. In seven pinch hit appearances this season, Thome has stuck out in five of them. His only hit of the season, a single, last came on April 13th. Thome is batting .077 for the season.
– Shane Victorino hit a home run in the eighth to bring deliver the deciding score of 4-1. After having his 10-game hit streak snapped in San Francisco Wednesday night, Shane has compiled back to back two-hit games. He has five multi-hit games this season.
– The single Padres run came after a Cameron Maybin lead-off triple in the fifth inning. He later scored on a Jesus Guzman ground-out.
– Per Jim Salisbury, @JSalisburyCSN, Phillies pitching has allowed 7 runs in the last 86 innings in San Diego dating back to 2010.
– Roy Halladay takes the hill against Cory Luebke at 8:35PM.

The point is, don't get too worked up about a win in San Diego – this team will make any team look good.
Nice win, just kind of expect the offense to pick up again where it left off prior to the 6th inning last night.
Thome has to be pushing it, its a terrible thing to watch and I tell you what, when they come back home and if he does the same thing in front of his people – at least the second time he will get booed. That is just Philly.
I don't think Jim Thome gets booed. I know, I know. Santa Claus. The Pope. But this is Jim Thome…and as hard as it is to watch, I just can't see "us" doing that to the guy. Or would we???…..
And it's nice to see one of the "old-timers" do a post on here (R.C. Cowie)! Nothing against the newest contributors and writers, of course. 🙂
Yea a win is a win but we need to just keep up until our big boys come
Back. Yes I don't like Charlie's managing. Rollins looks bad
But he is not a third hole hitter. When Howard comes back the
Entire dynamics of this lineup change. Pence will be better for it even
Though he has been great. Please release Thome. He is done
Where was Cole's evil twin that pithed last year in Petco? I was hoping to see him again.
Seriously, What the heck is Pierre thinking stepping way out of the batters box like that, he was almost stepping on the plate to bunt. You can't do that. No wonder he gets a great start out of the box when he bunts. I'm glad the ump finally caught him.
But, not to give too much credit to the umps, the second balk was total BS.
At 2.20 the Phils staff leads the majors in ERA.
"Big Boys" come back?
The Dipsy
I get excited when the Phils win these come-from-behind games.
When I thnk of Cole I think about how great his fantasy value next year will be with the Dodgers in the NL west. Probably more than Docs will be and Doc is the greatestest baseball player on the planet. Period. Any position.
Then I thank RAJ for making it impossible to retain Cole the one guy they should have kept.
Really dont know what people expect from a Howard who hasnt played in 9 months.
The last 3 years you could chart the decline.
How can this not speed that up? Also with Utley I dont want to take Glavis out of the line up. The one young hard charger they got. To put in Utley?
Sell crazy someplace else this is 2012 not 2007.
But a win is a win. Tonight should be another if the Phils can muster a run.
A no hitter for Doc might be possible. Jinx
@ Brooks regarding Thome.
Hes 150 years old. What did you expect?
At some point players just cant play anymore. It happened to Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb and Hank Aaron. It will happen to the phillies fossils. Sooner or later.
Unfortunately for us it seems to all be happening at once to this team.
I did hear Barry Bonds still wants to play. Make it happen Ruben.
And somehow he missed out on Moyer. BOOOOOO
AFW so nice to have you back, your bright and shinning optimism is greatly missed on the site. Nice to see your love the HOward has not diminished in your time away. And I have to 100% have to agree with that Glavis who is hitting .225 should be playing instead of a guy even with bad knees was considered on of the top 5 2nd basemen last year. Utley is no threat in the eyes of pitchers facing him if he can be healthy even just as healthy as he was last year. Cause I am pretty sure even on on leg last year Ryan had 30+HR and 120 RBI's seeing his achilies gave out on the last swing, I am sure it was 100% all year. Though I thought I missed you mindless useless negitivity to start spirit debate once in a while here i was wrong.
yes the Phillies should have traded Utley and Rollins and Chooch and for propects so we could be a five hundred team instead of 4 straight NL East Titles, and maybe in 5 years be good again oh wait then the their would be no aces, your are brillent
Yes big boys. Utley and Howard. You know the guys that helped win a world series. You know winning 102 games last year. They will be back and the offense will pick up. Putting howards bat at 4 is huge. Pence can even go to number 3 if we need.
A comment on a nice at bat for Freddy Galvis in the 7th inning. That is the inning that brought a smile to Hamels in the dugout (after being lifted for a pinch hitter). Galvis's assignment is to move the runners (on 1st and 2nd) with a sacrifice bunt. He did more than that with a beautifully placed bunt single to third. That set the stage for Schneider who subbed for injured Ruiz and singled for his first hit and RBI of the season. Pierre finished the rally with the huge 2-run single.
That's what "smallball' is all about and hopefully to see more of that since Utley and Howard is on the DL for some time..
One of my big issues with Utley coming back is it displaces Glavis to the minors.
IMO he has been the brightest spot for this team so far.
Gee a young guy. Who plays hard and tries and runs things out etc etc.
Phillies need 3 more Glavises in their line up.
Not waiting for some other old guy past his prime inches his way back into the line up.
3 more Galvis' and the phillies will be hoping to score 2 runs a game and not 3. LOL
I don't know when Utley will be back and I don't know that Galvis won't be kept on the roster as a utlity man who fills in periodically for Rollins, Utley and Polanco.
If they had been smart and let Rollins walk away could have Glavis at SS when/if Utley comes back.
I dont have a problem so much with any of the old guys individualy.
Its having it be all old guys that is making the line up stale and boring and bad.
Yes because Galvis is just solving all the offensive problems. Galvis will get to stay as the utility guy when utley comes back and well he figures to see plenty of time filling in for Utley/Rollins/Polanco. Periodic days of rest with no decrease in defense will be what he provides.
Glavis knows his role and hits 8th and makes nothing.
He isnt signed long term to hit first or third or whatever it is.
That doesnt work.
When the shake up comes. And its coming.
The trade will be of one of the 3 big pitchers. It has to be. Because no one wants any your offensive players except Pence Shane and Carlos.
I am going to get a kick out of some your reactions.
The way you stick up for these old has been guys.
It reminds me of Ted Knight in Caddyshack
Sell Bushwood?
He just couldnt get his mind around it .
Doesn't change the fact that Galvis isn't very good offensively and that's what the team needs. Having 3 more Galvis' would make this team worse not better. Even if he gets paid nothing.
Wow, I see it exactly opposite than those who think Rollins should have been allowed to walk.
Without Rollins we lose the guy who is mentoring Galvis, giving him confidence, coaching, and modeling professionalism in so many areas.
Rollins has never been more necessary for this team. Besides, he's having a very decent start, and has a way of coming through in big games.
There's really only one person on here that think Rollins should have walked. Pay no attention to him.
Manuel said that Galvis will likely stay on the team when Utely comes back. He has been doing better than advertised defensively. I'm still leery about both. Utley the mute isnt or will not report much so god only know whats his real progress or lack off. Howard a notoriously slow starter who is possibly on the decline and is coming back from a major injury. I dont know how much we will get out of him. He does have a knack for coming through for us in pressure situations. Lets see if still holds on to at least that.
Missed you Chuck my friend.
You guys dont see that there wouldnt be some hole at SS.
There would be a major league player in there. One that might hit 7th or 8th. Which is where Rollins shuld be hitting now.
No one else wanted Rollins and now he is another untradable player to go with the others.
And once again if some of the other old guys had been moved when they had value his signing could be justified.
Its the hoarding of all of them that is killing the line up.
No one else wanted Rollins? I love the way you revise history.
Andrew, before you get pasted please look at the previous post (from last night). There were some gracious things said about you and not all relating to your absence…
Get'em while you can man!
What do I expect out of Thome? Even the blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while… that's all.
Utley and Howard…..the "big boys" will not be coming back this year, Jeff. Howard will come back in August and play poorly. Utley will probably never come back. Bone on bone. Not Blonde on Blonde…….bone on bone. He can't play. IMO, everyone has to get used to the fact that Utley is done being a meaningful contributor to the Phillies and stop keeping the porch light on for him. AFW….where ya been? Finally off parole and allowed to use a computer again? ::) Without you, I think I've picked up the mantle of resident doomsayer. For what its worth, Phil form Mt. Airy was beating the David Wright drum today.
The Dipsy
Lots of room for speculation — can't really blame you for assuming the worst. We all, including you of course, hope you're wrong, but only time will tell.
Wright is everyone's flavor of the month. The price is very steep and would blow away the luxury tax threshold. Did Phil address that? Wright's also been one of the worst fielders in baseball the past few years, so much of the improvement on offense would be given right back.
Last year, as bad as Polanco was with the bat, overall he was at least as good as Wright, or better:
Now, in the first 14 games Polanco looks like he may be even worse with the bat this year, though his glove still looks as good as everl.
glad you are a doctor, even the pesimistic are saying Howard will be back around the all star game which if I remember correctly is in july, and I would like to borrow you crystal ball because Utley will be back this year. I am pretty sure I stated this before, Howard's injury is not something that happened on that one swing, he was hurt all year and played sitll hitting HR and driving in runs. I would like to make a bet with you that if Chase and Ryan do not play 85 games I will buy you a beer, and if they play that many, and do not produce at the same rate as last year in games played I will buy beer all day. how many games did Utley play last year how many did Howard play they may play less but they will produce when they come back
Well, respectfully, if Wright performs as you say, why would the Mets price for him be so steep? This may be Wright's walk year unless the Mets don't buy him out for next year. I don't think that the asking price for Wright is as steep as you think. I think they would like to get rid of that money. The more I think about it, the more I don't want to trade any more young talent away to try to get better for this year – at least not right now. I don't think the type of guy the Phils would get, like a Dave Wright, would be enough to make a difference in the lineup. Lets just keep playing a see what happens.
The Dipsy
The trade price will be steep for the face of the franchise, but I was actually referring to his $115 million salary.
$15 million
Phil from Mt. Airy knows his shit but David Wright is NOT the answer right now. Too injury-prone and too expensive.
And, Dipsy…friend and respected poster (stole that line from you)…. don't EVER put yourself in the same class as AFW. You're intelligent and can write and probably speak in complete rational sentences.
Dipsy your an a s s h o l e
Hi there, You've done a great job. I will certainly digg it and individually suggest to my friends. I am sure they will be benefited from this site.

Equal attention to Learning Supports is essential so that:
- Every student will demonstrate academic achievement and be prepared for success after high school;
- Every student will be supported by highly prepared and effective teachers and school leaders; and
- Every school will offer a safe and healthy learning environment for all students.
School Climate - Relationships
When students perceive that adults and friends in the school care about their learning and about them as individuals, there is a positive correlation with adolescent health and academic outcomes including school attendance. This important aspect of relationships is referred to as school connectedness. School connectedness is also a protective factor against a variety of issues including violence and drug use behaviors.Adults in school buildings can improve school connectedness by:
- establishing high and realistic expectations that are communicated regularly and consistently reinforced;
- providing opportunities for meaningful participation where students and families are a part of the decision making process and have opportunities to participate in school activities;
- dedicating time, interest, attention and emotional support to students through practices such as Classroom Meetings; and
- encouraging personal relationships and allowing for personalized learning using a variety of strategies such as:

I like what I see, Rockies take two out of three
Other than losing to the Padres (I hate losing to the Padres), it was a good game and a great day on all kinds of levels. As soon as I arrived in the pavilion and saw those batting cages on the field it was game on baby.
I've been waiting for a good snagging day and today was no disappointment.
Ball 1: Within a minute I saw a BP homer hit to the right of me and I was off like herd of turtles.
It bounced off a bleacher back and landed underneath the bleacher. I reached through the gap and grabbed it.
I looked up saw a young guy who would have gotten the ball had I not snagged it and I tossed it up to him.
That guy later said "Thank you Ranter" as he was leaving the pavilion.
Your Welcome Brotha !
The Rockies were hitting All-Star baseballs today and I wanted one.
Ball 2: The next BP homer was again hit to my right. I was running full speed and noticed that the ball was going to hit just below the fence so I swung my glove down and swooped it up so smoothly I didn't even know it was in my glove until I looked.
I kept that ball because although it was dirty, it was a Yankee Stadium commemorative baseball and a bad-azzz catch.
I had another opportunity at another BP homer to the left of me but I misjudged it and missed it by inches. At that point I removed my sunglasses as they were not helping matters.
Ball 3 was hit to the right of me and it was just a plain old running catch. I gave that ball to a little red head girl who was standing next to her little brother who was already holding a ball.
Ball 4 was hit to the left of me and was another running catch snagged cleanly. It was given to a little boy.
I decided to reposition myself higher up in the pavilion and when ball 5 was hit I ran down a few stairs and caught it cleanly with no competition. I kept it because it was a pretty one with only one hit mark on it.
On my next attempt I hopped over three bleachers and ran left down the row as I figured I was in the perfect row to snag this hit. About halfway down the row I stopped positioned myself for the catch then from my left some dude came into my personal space held up his glove with his left arm and held down my arm with his right arm..
At first I thought we were just stuck from his collision into me, but when I tried to forcibly lift my arm I realized this dude had a tight grip on it.
I was like " What's up brotha, you don't have to cheat, I'd have given your son the ball" .
He told me he wasn't cheating and that I was the cheater by climbing over the three rows of bleachers to get to this spot.
I told him that was bullsheet and I can run, trip fall all over these bleachers and that's ok, what isn't ok is contact or touching/holding someone.
I realized right away you couldn't tell this guy anything. He was one of those dudes. He was wrong, totally wrong and he knew it. You catch a ball with skill not force.
I also mentioned something like it better not happen again🙂
This dude was there with his kid and I didn't feel like continuing to promote his fine example of fatherhood.
Next time I won't be so nice :)
A freggin Rockies fan to boot. I just don't get it. Anyways, his brilliant block/hold caused us both to miss the ball. I knew dudes like this existed but up until this point I had only met ball whiners. This guy was my first official ball blocker.
Going forward, five snagged baseballs was my best day ever snaggin. There would be no All-Star baseballs for the Ranter today.
While I was on the stairs an Usher came up to me and mentioned she reads the Rockpile Rant and that she really enjoys it. She was very nice and I appreciate when someone tells me that. To find out that people read your blog and then to actually meet those people is very cool. If you're reading thanks for saying hi and please leave me a comment with your name and I'll give you proper credit.
Did it start with an "E"?
I always bring a pen for autographs, maybe I should use that same pen to take notes.
After batting practice was over I headed over to the Rockies dugout to again see what I could see. I saw a lot of players warming up.
I busted out my camera and started warming up myself.
Dexter Fowler, a guy who single-handedly is making center field in Coors field look smaller. Props to you brotha for your excellent effort and results in this last home stand.
Jorge De La Rosa and Yorvit Torrealba
tossing the ball
Todd Helton was out warming up also. Today I had brought two baseballs in case I was able to get more than one.
As soon as Todd Helton finished his warm-up walked over to a group of people about
ten feet away from where I was positioned.
Usually that means I wouldn't be able to squeeze that far over so I didn't even try.
But to my surprise Todd was working his way left and in no time he was just a few feet away from my spot.
I pulled out my baseball and Pentel RSVP pen.
Todd took them both and proceeded to autograph it on the sweet spot.
Thanks Todd I didn't even have to ask.
How about that? All these years of not being to snag Todd's autograph and then BAM, twice in two days. Life's crazy like that.
Here's a shot of Helton at bat. This picture was taken from the pavilion.
Tulowitzki and Stewart Clint Hurdle and Ryan Spilborghs
Barmes and Hammel More dugout shots
Helton and Baylor
A shot of Dan and Emily during the 7th inning stretch singing "Heeeeey Baby" oooh ahh.
Torrealba was behind the plate.
Going for that out.
A shot of Belisle
I thought for sure we'd take game two but the Rockies lose this one 4-3 to the Padres.
Hagg'n Stats for this game
1 point for showing up.
15 points for 5 snagged balls
2 points for Todd Helton's autograph.
<—Actual Coors Field crack.
Well my friends, thanks for visiting the Rockpile Rant and remember to just say no to crack.
Spare the world a shot of your great divide and buy your T-shirts a little longer…D

Yikes. I definitely say NO to crack!! LOL Awesome pix and congrats on the 2nd Helton autograph. And a big ol' NOT COOL to that BP guy. How ridiculous.
Hey, OK if I borrow those pix on the previous entry for my Facebook? 😀
JOY-Sure, no problem using the pictures…D
Hey D,
Wow! I can't belive that guy actually did that. He obviously hasn't been to any BPs before.
And yes, Say No to Crack! I was standing in line the other day and a woman squatted down to talk to her small child and, I kid you not, she gave us all a Full Moon. So gross!
R-Luv-I'm thinking about adding that to the Rant. The "Coors Field Crack of the Game". Crack pictures crack me up…D
D- Love the picture of Garrett Atkins… just can't help myself. It's always embarrassing when there are jerks who represent your team. You're like, what is wrong with you? Getting Helton's autograph twice?!?! Goooood deal. Congrats on that.
Hi Ranter – I'm the Usher (thanks for the Capital 'U' in Usher!) that came to say 'hi' on Tuesday. My name is Geri, so you had the second letter correct. I work maybe twice a week in the 140 – 150 sections. Stop by and say 'hi' next time you're on the concourse.
And yes – you do 'crack' me up!!!
What's up with the no pict credit love on the front page, lol?
Man takes time to take a pict and gets no credit…shenanigans.
TOM-I was in the mountains for the last 24 hours and just now saw the front page of MLBlogs when I read your comment here. Very cool. It's a proven fact when my mug is on the front page this place gets so many page hits the system crashes. No worries brotha, a great picture speaks for itself :)…D
QUEEN GERI-It's memorized. Very cool to meet you. I will say hi from now on. Thanks for reading the Rant Geri.
EMILY-Congrats on the front page love. See that ball is your good luck charm…D
Alright, 1st off (in reverse)….that picture of the crack "cracks" me up dude. Lovin" the crack cam.
Todd Helton's graph? Again? You rock man.
Guys who pull arms of other people down to catch baseballs should be punched in the throat immediately. Obviously, we're way too classy to do that, but that guy just sucks.
Finally, 5 baseballs…nicely done my friend.
Keep up the good work.
Happy-Totally agree with you on the throat punch. Guys like that always lose…D
I get those guys all the time down in my section. I do not go up to the outfield, but stay in my little patch of heaven off the right field line. I get about two a day either from the players or catching them.
But every so often a guy will tell his kid to go stand in front of me at my season ticket seat. That is when I get a bit pissy at the dad, but do not get on the kid. He is innocent to the BS.
But I always give at least one away a game.
I always try to tell the kids to remember players number so they can ask for the ball by name. "Hey You" doesn't work at the ballpark. lol
It is awesome you are getting recognition from the ushers now too.
Way to go D!
Rays Renegade
RAYSREN-Thanks brotha, I tend to get crowded out at times but I just move. People tend to migrate around the spot the last ball was hit. The dude's kid standing there was why I kept my cool plus why would I want to get kicked out my favorite place? Had I caught one more, I was going to give it to his kid despite that F-ker…:)…D
Hey, great pictures of my favorite player Koooooz!!🙂 hehehe. GO PADRES!!! And BTW, I hate it when my dudes lose to the Rockies, so looks like we're even!
KAYBEE-Funny, I leave that statment on almost every entry when the Rockies lose. Good luck tonight…D
This was a fabulous match and I must admit that I enjoyed each and every bit of the game. It is not a common sight to get the chance to watch such fantastic matches and when I get some, I make sure that I am getting the most of it. Many thanks for posting this for some review; it was really a great one and I enjoyed it a lot.- Jordan

I'm reading your tales aloud to Bean in hopes that one day bean will develop a sense of curiosity and wonder as great as yours. I must admit his feet are kicking all the time, I'm guessing because of his zeal to get out of the womb and into the wide world. Bean, we have been told, is a babe of your ilk, cut from the cloth that has a few dangling bits toward the south end :)
Always glad to read your tales and enjoy the smiles that surface with thoughts that after a little bit of time, which I'm sure will pass quickly, we'll be back out there with Bean, exploring, discovering, loving and generally being amazed by all the beautiful people and places in the world.

Sinead's Vortex
Loading Map
We got off to a blinding start, and already we're absolutely loving Tassie. The eleven hour ferry crossing over to Devonport was a doddle, and we got stuck straight in to a load of random riding and sightseeing. Far too much to go into any real detail but let's just say highlights include blazing through a speed camera in the coastal village of Penguin, eating lumps of shark in downtown Wynyard, detouring to take in the stillness of Sisters Beach, climbing The Nut in Stanley, screaming blue murder through the phenomenal twists of the Hellyer (Hellyeah) Gorge, walking a lengthy stretch of Ocean Beach against a windy onslaught and warming up afterwards with a feed in the end-of-the-world coastal village that is Strahan. Not forgetting of course the afternoon's sampling of the Cradle Mountain National Park and it's surrounding grandeur.
And so we rocked up in Rosebery, a modest dink on Tasmania's west coast and a real jewel of a place nestled nicely amongst the mountains and lakes that make up most of the dramatic landscape here. It's all very Fiordland, utterly unspoiled, and with that weathered and beaten tinge that symbolises the trademark Aussie hardiness.
What's more is that it's all very 'us', and when we finally found Shiny's place (a big blue corner house on stilts with a fat white goat in the garden grazing on vegetables overlooking the picture-postcard lake and bush-clad mountains) I couldn't help smiling to myself. Totally totally Shiny.
Naturally, the last four days have been, in the words of my good man Charlie, grouse. The slow immersion into life here and the goings on in the world of Shiny and Ken has been bright and breezy and being back in the company of her Shiny-ness with her Shiny-isms, the constant banter and the obligatory bickerings has been great medicine. Herself and Kenneth are doing great, which is a pleasure to see and the catching up has been a complete joy. She got to hear about all my tramp-like wanderings and I got to see the amazing blue house, the boats, the goats and the dazzling 52 acres of native Tasmanian bush they've acquired to transform into a self-sufficient paradise with budding facilities that will help the local youth learn new life skills and concepts. It's all positively mind-blowing and I'm thoroughly stoked to see her living the kind of life I too would like to live one day.
A lot of the power around these parts is generated by water, hence the number of dams dotted about the place and the subsequent rising of creek beds. We took the boat out on one for a blast around, stopping in the middle of nowhere to check out a couple of the shacks that the locals have tucked away deep in the bush. You can't for the life of you spot them from the water, which is why it's been a privilege to experience it all, certainly not something the average tourist would get to see. Much is the same for the platypus that surface occasionally before darting off again like a torpedo.
We spent a quality evening on 'the block', their 52 acres of undulating Tassie bush. Ken being the pyro-man that he is kick-started a huge bonfire in the middle of the field and we stood for hours with the goats, bantering with Boag's under the streaming milky way - a proper night out, and just like old times.
Now that Sir Charles has joined us we'll be heading off for the big tour. Chicken's decided to leave her bags in storage and join us on the two-wheeled marathon of madness. For such a small island there's a hell of a lot to see, and the general consensus is that we'll be heading south-east towards Hobart. Whether we actually make it round is anyone's guess, though it's not a bad way to burn a dozen tanks of fuel..

Wisconsin Congressman Ron Kind called the speech a good start to the President's second term.
He says the president still has a lot he wants to accomplish and a lot he'd like to see congress accomplish. But Kind feels today's speech wasn't directed at Congress.
"It's almost as if he was speaking past the Congressional members and directly to the American people saying we can do this, but it's time that we come together as Americans again," Congressman Kind said.
The president mentioned immigration, gay rights and climate change in his inaugural, Kind says we'll hear more about his expectations for the second term in the upcoming state of the union address.

Whole-wheat flour recipes can have all the allure of regular baked goods. We have the breads, scones, muffins, and cookies to prove it.
Baking With Whole-Wheat Flour
When baking with whole-wheat flour, it's important to not dive into a regular recipe and just replace regular flour with whole wheat. There are definite texture and flavor differences. It's safe to replace half of all-purpose flour with whole-wheat in most recipes. For recipes that use more than 50% whole-wheat flour, it's best to use a recipe that's been developed and tested using the good stuff (fiber-rich whole-wheat flour).
In Fig, Date, and Walnut Quick Bread, equal parts of whole-wheat and all-purpose flour serve as the base, and potassium- and fiber-rich dried figs and dates offer moisture and even more nutritional punch.

Contemporary Flush Mounts
What a Homeowner Should Know about Contemporary Flush Mounts
Contemporary flush mounts can be ornate or simple in design. They are made using aluminum, nickel, steel, silver, chrome and/or other metals. These flush mounts are available in various sizes and price points, making it easy for a person to find light fixtures that not only look good but also provide sufficient lighting for the area in which it is to be installed.
Contemporary Flush Mounts look great in any room. They are also a smart option for company offices, stores and restaurants. Flush mount lights are particularly suitable for homes with low ceilings, as they make the ceiling appear higher than it really is. This type of lighting is remarkably bright and provides ample illumination; however, it can also be used in conjunction with pendant lights, mini pendants or wall sconces.
Flush mount lights are easy for a homeowner to install. However, you may need to call an electrician if there are no ceiling fixtures available for these lights.

Endurox R4 Fruit Punch
|by Pacific Health LabsPacific Health Labs
|(retail $69.99)$69.99
|Discontinued Wishlist
Recover faster - Endurox R4 replenishes muscle glycogen levels 128% more than a carbohydrate drink
Recover better - Endurox R4 reduces post-exercise muscle damage up to 36%
Come back stronger - Endurox R4 extends endurance up to 55% in a subsequent workout Optimal carbohydrate profile with less sugar
Williams MB, Raven PB, Fogt DL, Ivy JL. Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research. 17:12-19, 2003.
This study determined that "The rate of [post-exercise] recovery is coupled with the rate of muscle glycogen replenishment," and that "recovery supplements should be consumed to optimize muscle glycogen synthesis as well as fluid replacement." Eight endurance trained cyclists performed two trials consisting of a 2-hour glycogen depletion ride followed by an exhaustive ride at high intensity. Subjects received either a carb-protein beverage (Endurox R4) or a carb-only sports drink immediately and 2 hours post-exercise. Post-exercise ingestion of carb-protein beverage (Endurox R4), in comparison to the carb-only beverage, resulted in a 55% greater time to exhaustion during a subsequent exercise bout at 85% VO2max. Ingestion of the carb-protein beverage resulted in a 17% greater plasma glucose response, a 92% greater insulin response and a 128% greater storage of muscle glycogen compared to the carb-only beverage.
Williams MJ, Ivy JL, Raven PB. Medicine & Science in Sports and Exercise. 31(5):S124, 1999.
This study found that "recovery from glycogen-depleting exercise was significantly enhanced by [Endurox R4] Recovery Drink when compared to Gatorade. In addition, [Endurox R4] Recovery Drink decreased the formation of final oxidation products, when compared to Gatorade." Eight male cyclists performed a two-hour cycling exercise bout followed by one to three 5-minute sprints. A four-hour recovery period ensued in which the subjects were given 24 ounces of either Endurox R4 or Gatorade. A performance test to exhaustion was then conducted. The recovery phase showed significant increases in both plasma glucose and insulin following Endurox R4 ingestion as compared to Gatorade. There was an average 66% increase in time to exhaustion during the performance ride following Endurox R4 ingestion compared to Gatorade. Final oxidation products following Endurox R4 ingestion were significantly decreased as compared to Gatorade ingestion.
Ready SL, Seifert JG, Burke E. Medicine & Science in Sports and Exercise. 31(5):S119, 1999.
This study demonstrated that "A [carb-protein supplement], by providing additional [carbohydrate] and amino acids, may reduce postexercise muscle stress, as evidenced by a 36% decrease in 24-hour [creatine kinase] levels. Ten college-age males and females completed a 45-minute run, rested in a 10-minute transition, cycled for 90 minutes, and then performed a time trial (TT). During the transition and 30 minutes into the bike segment, subjects ingested either a 15% carb-protein beverage (Endurox R4) or a carb-only beverage.. Blood samples were collected and analyzed for creatine kinase (a biomarker of muscle damage), lactic acid and glucose. There was a 36% reduction for the 24-hour post-exercise creatine kinase level in the carb-protein treatment.
Fogt DL, Ivy JL. Medicine & Science in Sports and Exercise. 32(5):S60, 2000.
This study showed that "The greater rate of recovery following glycogen-depleting exercise during the [carb-protein] treatment shown [in previous studies] was likely due to a greater glycogen restoration." Eight endurance-trained cyclists performed two trials consisting of a 2-hour glycogen depletion ride followed by ingestion of 12 oz of a carb-protein supplement (Endurox R4) or a carbohydrate supplement immediately and 2 hours post-exercise. Trials were randomized and separated by 7 days. Blood samples were collected prior to exercise and throughout the 4-hour post-exercise recovery period. Muscle biopsies were taken immediately after and 4 hours postexercise for determination of muscle glycogen content. Ingestion of the carb-protein supplement resulted in a 17% greater plasma glucose response, a 92% greater insulin response, and a 128% greater storage of muscle glycogen compared to the carb-only supplement.
Zawadzki KM , Yaspelkis BB,Ivy JL. Journal of Applied Physiology. 72:1854-1859, 1992.
This study found that "post-exercise muscle glycogen storage can be enhanced with a carbohydrate-protein supplement as a result of the interaction of carbohydrate and protein on insulin secretion." Nine men cycled for two hours on three occasions to deplete their muscle glycogen. After each workout they drank a carbohydrate, protein, or carb-protein supplement. The rate of muscle glycogen replenishment in the carbohydrate-protein treatment was 38% greater than in the carbohydrate treatment and more than three times greater than in the protein treatment.
Niles ES, Lachowetz T, Garfi J, Sullivan W, Smith JC, Leyh BP, Headley SA. Journal of Exercise Physiology Online. 4:45-52, 2001.
This study demonstrated that "a [carb-protein] drink following glycogen depleting exercise may facilitate a greater rate of muscle glycogen resynthesis than a [carbohydrate-]only beverage, hasten the recovery process, and improve exercise endurance during a second bout of exercise performed on the same day." Ten male athletes completed a long workout on stationary bikes, then drank either a carb-protein sports drink (Endurox R4) or a carb-only sports drink. After a two-hour rest the subjects completed an endurance bout to exhaustion. The athletes went 20% longer with the carb-protein sports drink than with the carb-only sports drink.
Ivy JL, Goforth HW Jr, Damon BM, McCauley TR, Parsons EC, Price TB. Journal of Applied Physiology. 93: 1337-1344, 2002.
This study showed that "a [carb-protein] supplement is more effective for the rapid replenishment of muscle glycogen after exercise than a [carb-only] supplement of equal [carbohydrate] or caloric content." Subjects completed a very long workout on stationary bikes and then drank either a carb-protein sports drink (Endurox R4) or a carb-only sports drink of equal calories. Four hours later, muscle glycogen was significantly greater in those given the carb-protein sports drink.
Levenhagen, DK, Carr C, Carlson MG. Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise. 34: 828-837, 2002.
This study found that post-exercise consumption of a carbohydrate-protein supplement increased protein synthesis in exercised muscles and throughout the body compared to a carb-only supplement and placebo. Five men and five women completed a one-hour stationary bicycle ride. Upon completion of the workout, subjects were randomly given either the placebo, the carb-only supplement, or the carb-protein supplement. The test was repeated until all subjects had received all three treatments. The carb-protein supplement increased plasma essential amino acids 33%, leg uptake of glucose 3.5-fold, and leg and whole-body protein synthesis 6-fold and 15%, respectively. Whereas post-exercise intake of either placebo or the carb-only supplement resulted in a net leg release of essential amino acids and net loss of whole-body and leg protein, the carb-protein supplement resulted in a net leg uptake of essential amino acids and net whole-body and leg protein gain.
