A registered Charity that has been taking in and rehoming animals since 1924. Includes free entry and parking. Come and have a look around at a variety of animals. Enjoy a break in our restaurant or have a play at our outdoors children's play area. Check out our website to see our latest events.
Open seven days a week 10am - 4pm
Visited last week with 8.5month old daughter, she loved looking at all the animals and then having a go on the swing in the childrens play area. Not too big so that it wears the little ones out, and can't believe they don't even ask for donations for entry. It does pull at the heart strings seeing all the animals needing a loving home, but was a good morning out. Wouldn't recommend the cafe though, quite expensive and the food wasn't that great. Would visit again.
Had a good day out at Woodgreen. They have good presents in their gift shop. You can have a meal in their cafe and walk around and vist the animals, not only dogs and cats. And it is free parking and you can stay has long as you like.
We visit Wood Green quite alot as its only a couple of miles up the road. The kids love going as they love seeing the animals. You do fall in love with them and its really good if you are looking for a pet, they have small animals aswell.

Homemade Irish Cream
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 0 mins
Of all the Irish cream recipes here, I haven't found any quite like this one. I discovered this in the Company's Coming Gifts from the Kitchen cookbook a couple of years ago and I've never bought Bailey's again. I gave a bottle to my cousin and his wife for Christmas one year and he claims it's better than the original! Can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 weeks -- if it actually lasts that long!!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 (11 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 3 large eggs
- 1 (13 1/2 ounce) can evaporated milk
- 1⁄4 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon nestle Quik chocolate milk mix (or other instant chocolate milk powder)
- 1⁄8 teaspoon coconut flavoring
- 1 teaspoon instant coffee granules, crushed
- 1 cup Irish whiskey (or other, I usually end up using Canadian Rye)
- Mix all ingredients except whiskey in blender until smooth.
- Add whiskey and mix. Pour into jar with tight-fitting lid and store in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.

Baseball season is in full swing, and as we head into the All-Star break, it's no surprise that baseball topped the list of the most searched-for events on ScoreBig in June. In fact, baseball-related searches took the top four spots, and six of the top ten. Searches for savings on Yankees tickets were way out in front of everyone else. The top 10 was rounded out by searches for The Book of Mormon, Extraordinary Chambers, at The Geffen Playhouse in LA, The Mint (an LA-based live music venue), and silky voiced R&B singer Sade.
With summer officially here, there are more than 600,000 tickets to live events on ScoreBig, with plenty of baseball, great touring acts, music, theater and family friendly fare to choose from. So what do you want to see? Try one of these popular acts, or check out ScoreBig and find an event that will make your summer one to remember.
Here's what the search activity looked like on the site for the top 20 events.

SBU Geosciences Researchers Re-Establish the Structure of Magnesium Borohydride

Professors Artem R. Oganov (left) and Xiang-Feng Zhou (right), theoretical crystallographers in the Department of Geosciences and Department of Physics and Astronomy at Stony Brook University, have established the structure of one of the most important high-energy-density materials, magnesium borohydride.
STONY BROOK, NY, December 13, 2012
– An international team led by Xiang-Feng Zhou and Artem R. Oganov, PhD, theoretical crystallographers in the
Department of Geosciences
Department of Physics and Astronomy
at Stony Brook University, have established the structure of one of the most important high-energy-density materials, magnesium borohydride or Mg(BH4)2. Their findings, "
First-Principles Determination of the Structure of Magnesium Borohydride
," have been published in the December 13 edition of
Physical Review Letters.
"Experimental crystal structure determination is often viewed as a routine task with a guaranteed correct result, but we successfully challenged the 'experimental' structure of δ-Mg(BH4)2 ," said Zhou. "This material contains nearly 15 wt. % hydrogen, which makes this an important energy material," added Oganov.
Structures of several modifications of Mg(BH4)2 were known from high-quality powder diffraction data, a rather standard method for determining crystal structures of materials. Researchers used Prof. Oganov's breakthrough evolutionary method for crystal structure prediction, aiming to find the most stable structures of Mg(BH4)2 at different conditions.
Left – the newly established (I41/acd) structure of the δ-phase. Right – previously proposed structure.
To Zhou's surprise, among the theoretically predicted structures he did not find the structure earlier proposed by experimentalists for the δ-phase. He then investigated the experimental structural model and found it to be very unfavorable compared to the theoretically predicted models. Even worse, the "experimental" structure was found to be unable to sustain its own lattice vibrations - predicted to fall apart as a result of atomic thermal motion. This indicates that the "experimental" structure is absolutely impossible – even as a metastable state.
Comparing the diffraction patterns of the theoretically predicted structure with experiments, Zhou realized that there is a perfect match. Subsequently, he found yet another structure that matches experimental data. Thus, there are at least three completely different crystal structures that match experimental diffraction data, but one of them – the one claimed by experimentalists – has been ruled out. The other two structures were shown to explain another mystery - the existence of two almost indistinguishable phases called δ and δ' (previous experiments were unable to propose any solution for the latter). Zhou and colleagues determined the structures of these phases to have symmetries I41/acd and P-4.
"It is indeed surprising that experimental work, based on high quality data, failed to correctly solve these simple and highly symmetric crystal structures, containing only six non-hydrogen atoms," said Zhou. "We were also surprised to see completely different structures having identical diffraction patterns. In such situations, which may be more common than we expect, theoretical structure searching will play a major role."
"Crystal structure is the basis for understanding the behavior of materials," said Oganov. "The possibility to predict crystal structures is a major breakthrough of our time and will prove crucial for the future discovery of new materials."

IDG Answers is a community of experts who are passionate about technology. Ask a question or answer one below.
Help desks have to support an increasing number of operating systems, including multiple versions of Microsoft Windows, Apple OS X, Linux, Apple IOS, Google Android, RIM, and others. Is it too much? Should IT trim down the number of supported OS's thereby simplifying their need for support?
You must be logged in to ask, answer or follow a question.
This is kind of a dumb question. Sure, it's easier to support one or two operating systems, but with all the development that has been happening in the mobile space since the iPhone came out, it would be short-sighted to limit the function of what an organization can do under some preconceived notion that things need to be simple or easy. A smartphone is not an electric typewriter - and as such, it may be used for a variety of activities. Smart IT departments will find a way to deliver better service across more platforms without whining about how it isn't easy. If you're doing you job right - using IT to move your business forward - IT is never easy.
That's kind of a dismissive take on the problem of OS propagation within an organization. I've worked for a number of companies where the IT department chose the computer you use and the phone you use and the software you used - because for them, it's better to define a few standards rather than letting the company's infrastructure to resemble the Wild West. Homogenization exists for a reason - to streamline the day-to-day labor of IT - which leads to the free time one needs to work on longer-term, big-picture projects.

Where I stayed
Pingo Salvaje
Day : 262
Temperature : 15 degrees
Weather : Very mixed
We have had a fantastic two more days of riding in the estancia. Paola, Kev and I, along with our horses, plus an extra horse packed with picnic gear and food for the Puesto, headed out around 10 am. We had the same horses as yesterday. I was given the lovely Tordo and Kevin had Blancita. We passed through beautiful countryside with the lake to our left and the mountains in the distance. The weather was fantastic on our first day. After a few hours we stopped for lunch, just in time before my legs became permanently stuck in a very unattractive bow legged, bent position
We continued on, climbing up hill slightly, until we could see the mountains of Torres del Paine in the distance. We finally reached the Puesto, which is essentially a basic hut which the gauchos use when looking after the animals. There is a room for sleeping and another which has a wood burning cooker which also provides heat, a small sink for washing up, and a small table with stools around it. After tying up our horses and bringing all the kit into the Puesto Kevin and I shuffled our way in and tried to maneouvre and bend our bodies so as to be able to sit down...this was proving quite difficult after 5 hours on our horses. Paola, however, was obviously used to this kind of day and merrily went about cooking us a lovely, filling meal which we then ate around the cooker before retiring to bed about 10.30pm.
The following day, Paola was up and about way before us and she had gathered the horses and saddled them up. I think by now Tordo was possibly recognising me...although I'm not quite sure if he was pleased to see me or rather thinking...."ah gawd...not HER again!"....it's difficult to tell
After a breakfast of tea and coffee, porridge, bread and Manjar / Dulce de leche, which I am fast becoming addicted to, we set off to head back to the estancia. The horses were definitely a little more enthusiastic about going home to see their friends. We however, were not so enthusiastic about the weather which was really looking bad, and we were preparing for a day of rain. Thankfully, it didn't come to much and we had a virtually dry ride all the way back. Once again we stopped for lunch, this time by the lake with the mountains in the distance. When we reached the estancia mid afternoon I was definitely feeling muscles which I hadn't used in a long time, but a hot shower soon made a big difference.
Kev and I were by now feeling very lazy, and for our last night Paola cooked us a delicious 3 course meal with wine....a real treat! I could have stayed here forever..........................

Background: Antiepileptics have been shown to reduce alcohol intake or to prevent relapse in patients with alcoholism.
Goal: To investigate if the new antiepileptic levetiracetam (LEV) prevents relapse after detoxification compared with placebo in patients with alcohol dependence.
Methods: Two hundred one patients were included in the prospective, randomized, double-blind, multicenter, placebo-controlled trial. After detoxification treatment and a screening period of 7 days, patients were randomized to treatment with LEV or placebo. Medication was administered in a fixed-dose schedule for 16 weeks. Primary outcome parameters were the overall rate and time to relapse with heavy drinking. Secondary outcome parameters were time to the first drink, craving, adherence, tolerability, and safety data (mean corpuscular volume, serum alanine aminotransferase, serum aspartate aminotransferase, γ-glutamyltransferase).
Results: The rate of relapse and the time to relapse did not differ significantly between both groups, but less patients treated with LEV terminated treatment early compared with patients receiving placebo. Tolerability and safety data were similar in the LEV group compared with placebo.
Conclusions: Our data do not support a significant effect of LEV on relapse prevention in patients with alcohol dependence during the first 16 weeks of abstinence.

Fitzpatrick Announces 50 Business Visits in 50 Days
TELFORD, PA - Congressman Fitzpatrick (PA-8) announced Wednesday his effort to visit 50 businesses in 50 days in Montgomery County during the August work period. Fitzpatrick made this announcement at the Indian Valley Country Club where he was the keynote speaker at a gathering of the Indian Valley Chamber of Commerce.
"Last summer I made a point to visit 100 businesses in 100 days across the district and talk face-to-face with small business owners and their employees. This summer I'm doing it again- this time with 50 of those businesses right here in Montgomery County," said Fitzpatrick, "As the President's healthcare law is implemented, I wanted to spend time this summer connecting with businesses to learn how they intend to grapple with the new law."
Fitzpatrick has been active in the district since leaving Washington on August 2; holding three town hall meetings, visiting a number of local businesses, and hosting a pair of round table discussions- including in the Indian Valley area.
"There's no better way to see where the rubber meets the road than to talk to our neighbors where they work and to hear from employers, first hand, the challenges they face," added Fitzpatrick.
At the event Fitzpatrick spoke about the importance of working across party lines to find ways to make government more efficient and effective- highlighting his association with the group 'No Labels' and a number of bipartisan bills he has recently introduced.
Following a presentation, Fitzpatrick fielded questions from IVCC members on topics ranging from the repealing of the Affordable Care Act to the current status of the banking industry under Dodd-Frank regulations.

Congressman Mike Fitzpatrick is serving his third term in the U.S. House of Representatives. He represents Pennsylvania's 8th district which includes all of Bucks County as well as a portion of Montgomery County. He serves as the Vice Chairman of the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations.

Meredith Burnett reviews The Library of Alexandria, a new Doctor Who Companion Chronicle release from Big Finish by Simon Guerrier and starring William Russell as Ian Chesterton.
The Library of Alexandria is a lovely mix of science fiction and historical storytelling that Doctor Who does so well, the pseudo-historical tales from the Doctor Who annuls are always much more fun then the straight up history lessons that the show originally tried to give and writer Simon Guerrier takes care to give fans a mix of both for one of the more exciting Companion Chronicle releases.
Taking a break from their journey around the universe the original TARDIS crew, in the shape of the First Doctor, Barbara, Ian and Susan, find themselves in Egypt at the Royal Library of Alexandria, where they're taking in the local culture and enjoying watching history unfold first hand. Ian has even got a job finding books for the library for cataloguing and is getting himself immersed into the swing of things. But once he meets local philosopher Hypatia, that's where things start to become complicated.
Barbara is showing a touch of the green eyed monster where it comes to Ian and Hypatia but that's only the emotional side of things, because when Hypatia finds a mysterious book not like anything else in the catalogues titled "The Pathway to the Stars", Ian soon deduces that he's found an alien reconnaissance report that will shortly lead to an attempted invasion.
Where the first episode of this story takes a slow but interesting approach to the tale, with discussions regarding philosophy, future history and of course, the fate of the Library, the second episode steps up the game to full on action. The 'invasion' that has been discovered by Ian turns out to something more interesting and more original thanks to Guerrier and the Doctor's heroic and defiant stance against the aliens that turn up is a classic slice of Hartnell.
So engaging is this adventure that this reviewer did a little research on the Library of Alexandria (the actual library, not the Doctor Who story) and discovered that it burned down, resulting in the loss of many of its books. There are also 4 possible occasions of when the burning took place, Guerrier's story attempts to rectify this mystery in good Who fashion and succeeds in involving the Doctor nice and heavily, as it always should be.
Susan Franklyn also delivers a touching and powerful performance as Hypatia, there's a chance of a love interest for Ian in this story but Hypatia's growing feelings only fuel the fire for the 'will they, won't they' story arc that has been discussed between Ian and Barbara over the last 50 years in Doctor Who. A return from Franklyn and her character would be welcome, she seems to be a woman ahead of her time here and it would be marvellous to find her aboard the TARDIS one day.
The Library of Alexandria is a magnificent Companion Chronicle that also serves as homage to The Aztecs, with discussions regarding the changing of history and how far the TARDIS crew can go. The music that accompanies the tale is also one of the better incidental compositions from Big Finish and really sells the location that the travellers find themselves in. This is simply one of the smartest historical that Big Finish has ever produced.
The Library of Alexandria is available from www.bigfinish.com now.

MobileEverywhere, an ambitious tech start-up with Mike Hess at the helm, was "obsessed" with security & privacy related to the "circles' of mobile users; secure virtual networks (SVN's). Even at that time we were cognizant of overlapping & extended circles of users, and the large amount of information, which would be shared & passed around, though at the time we really had no idea of the social media explosion, which would happen soon thereafter. Security and Privacy were justifiable concerns, and a potential business opportunity. All is true today.
MobileEverywhere was a mobile phone focus and Google+ now 7 years later is into the "newer" Social Networking space. However the "circles" difference I see between Google+ and our model ca. 2004, is that the users in the above illustration were aware of all those in their own circle…..in essence able to see and be seen at anytime, anywhere (this function was an opt-in/out) You could choose to be seen or not. Instead in Google+, you have no clue how you are filed or cataloged in other's circles, unless they tell you. Would this opt-in/out feature be an improvement to Google+ circles?
I am quite curious to learn how people are using "circles" to catalog and or manage their groups, and a couple of people have kindly shared theirs with me. My circles are as follows:
SMART ~ Smart online connections with whom I already regularly converse.
DESIGNERS ~ The best designers I know whom I converse with online.
NON PROFIT ~ Everyone involved in non-profit endeavors, who add to my learning experience.
ALWAYS LEARNING ~ People we ALL learn from (many are on my Twitterati list), and you can bet just about everyone else has them in their circles!
EXTENDED AWARENESS ~ People I really want to get to know (new finds on Google+ that appear interesting; and note this is NOT a catch-all for circling everyone back !)
IRL (obvious)
PROJECTS ~ I'm hoping to use this circle like I did Twine and Diigo; sending specific info to people involved in a specific start-up or architectural design project. This could morph into several project "circles" ~ Will this work?
When I first heard about Circles in Google+ I thought the circles were going to be a direct enabler for conversations of like-minded people, because we would all know who was in a specific circle. But you don't; so, do you think it will work as the conversation enabler I visualized?
Remember MobileEverywhere? Didn't think so…. They didn't get funding, and the technology was pointed in another direction. It's probably only a tiny coincidence that the MobileEverywhere technical guru headed to Google next…..

On June 20, the Appraisal Review Board heard arguments from representatives of the Appraisal District and Coleto Creek Power and determined the 2012 taxable value of the plant to be $328.6 million.
The two sides went before the Appraisal Review Board after Coleto Creek Power protested the Appraisal District's determination that the plant's 2012 taxable value was $355.3 million.
According to Goliad County Tax Appraiser Pat Brennan, Coleto Creek Power's tax consultant group, Duff and Phelps, contended the plant's 2012 tax value was approximately $200 million.
"Obviously, with that much difference in the opinion of value, the Appraisal District was not in a position to surrender millions of dollars in value during informal protest discussions," Brennan told the Goliad County Commissioners Court during the July 9 meeting.
Immediately after the ARB's decision, Coleto Creek Power was given 60 days to file a petition for review with the District Court.
Brennan presented to the court the taxable values of Coleto Creek Power from the last five years. In 2011, the taxable value of the plant was $362,337, 800.
"It is not clear at this point if Coleto Creek Power Station is satisfied with the outcome of their protest with the ARB," Brennan said. "They can choose to either accept the reduction ($26.7 million) in plant value as determined by the ARB, thereby resolving the matter; or they may elect to litigate the value issue in District Court in an effort to seek further relief from property taxation."
Robert Stevens, plant manager of Coleto Creek Power, declined comment, deferring to the power plant's communications department, which was unavailable for comment by Monday's press deadline.
Brennan said the dispute between the county and Coleto Creek Power, which is by far the county's largest taxing entity, was not a controversial issue. He said he respected Coleto Creek Power's right to contest the county's appraisal, but hoped to avoid a lengthy and costly court battle.
"If the Appraisal District is sued in District Court, the district would have to hire an attorney and respond to the lawsuit," Brennan said. "Funding for an attorney to represent the Appraisal District would be paid for by the taxing entities within our county.
"Coleto Creek Power has been a good neighbor and a tremendous asset to Goliad County. They have made significant contributions to our community and have generously funded many worthwhile charitable projects."

Halle Berry Explains Mystery Accident On 'The Call 'Set
Halle Berry was "knocked out" while shooting her movie The Call last summer after her co-star accidentally slammed her head into concrete.
It was widely reported that the Oscar winner was taken to the hospital in Los Angeles after she tripped and hit her head, but now she has come clean about the injury, admitting she ended up in treatment after a fight sequence with Michael Eklund went wrong.
The 46 year-old actress, who is currently pregnant with her second child, explains, "The bad guy in the movie accidentally slammed my head into the concrete. He misjudged how far the ground was and he slammed my head into it so I got knocked out."
However, Berry showed her professionalism by quickly bouncing back to resume the shoot. She adds, "I went to the hospital, came back to work the next day, so it was fine."

Top Ways Dads Embarrass Their Kids
What does your dad do that's embarrassing? What does he do that's awesome?
What does your dad do that's embarrassing? What does he do that's awesome?
Father's Day is fast approaching and we believe Dad deserves just as much man-pampering on his special day as Mom does on Mother's Day.
Sure, your dad saidhe didn't want anything for Father's Day, but that might also have been a not-so-subtle hint that, thanks to the last several holidays, he has quite enough ties and golf balls, thank you.
With Father's Day just around the corner, the overwhelming majority of American dads believe the fathers of today are more attentive to their children than those in past.
If you're having a tough time finding a gift for Father's Day, you're not alone. But here's the good news: most dads don't want anything other than to spend a little extra time with you.
Sure, your dad said he didn't want anything for Fathers' Day, but that might also have been a not-so-subtle hint that thanks to the last several holidays, he has enough ties and golf balls.
It's that time of year again when we celebrate everything dad has done for us. That's right, it's Father's Day! We found some baby animals that know exactly what it means to be in the Father's Day spirit. Take a look at some adorable father-child animal bonding and cuddling.
The Martin Agency's Consumer Forensics Division has broken dads down into five different types, each with their own distinct tastes, character traits, and ways of relating to their families.
What makes a truly hideous tie? Is it the color? The shape? The presence of marine life? The truth is, there's no one answer, which is why we've given you 10. It doesn't matter how you knot it, ties don't get much worse than this.
Check out 10 ties to avoid buying for Father's Day.
Dad is going to love you no matter what you get him, but seriously, he really doesn't need another tie. This year, get him something he might actually use, like one of these five ideas for Father's Day gifts that can do a heck of a lot more than a "World's Best Dad" mug.
Is there any home accessory more fought-over than the remote control? TV-loving dads have long had to establish that they are masters of their domain by commandeering the clicker from the kids.
But why should fathers settle for a remote that just changes the channels when they can have one that also opens a bottle of beer? Or tells time? Or is powered by their own wind?
This Father's Day, swap the traditional family remote for one of these babies that will have him channel surfing in style:
Father's Day is coming up. Which means it's time to put down that sixer of Bartles & Jaymes and learn how to make Dad a drink he'll really like -- a cocktail that harkens back to the days when men were men, fathers knew best and getting ripped at lunch actually meant something.
Here are a few suggestions:

Tip of our ugly iceberg
All across the state, one public service group works their regular job, then remains on-call. Around 150 of them met in Flatwoods recently.
On any given day, they may encounter nice people, criminals, the mentally ill, and government officials. Their work is often dirty and dangerous.
They must often raise the money to do their jobs – including salary and supplies – stretch it tissue-paper thin, and tend to required government paperwork.
They deal with medical issues, often emergency, diseases, and sometimes interstate commerce.
What they do is essential to public health in many ways (and often privately funded), but their task is invisible to society or worse, shunned or shrugged off.
Who are these people? Your neighbors, friends, coworkers, and public servants whose often-paltry salaries you pay. What is their job? Cleaning up after the rest of us. They tend to society's "living garbage."
These people are each county's shelter and rescue workers, animal control officers, and euthanasia technicians. They collect or receive or confiscate domestic animals being neglected or treated cruelly. Then they care for and try to find them forever homes.
They'd better work quickly, though. Shelter space is limited. In a few days, they'll need space for more unwanted pets.
That "space" is made by killing the least likely to be adopted.
How can they do such a thing!?! Because their neighbors force them to. We have a chronic surplus of pets and deficit of homes for them. Because human beings can be unimaginably mean and irresponsible. Because people refuse to spay and neuter their own pets, who – unlike us – do exactly as their Creator instructed them to: "be fruitful and multiply."
Some folks hoard, thinking a loathsome life of filth beats the space-gaining alternative. Others run puppy mills, somehow selling pups at high prices who've been crammed in wire cages stacked five high with inadequate food, water, exercise, socialization, ventilation and excess frustration.
But so what?
After all, who are they going to tell?
Both problems are on the rise in our state. Their byproducts generate unpleasant levels of waste toxic to air and water.
As nearby states tighten their laws and enforcement, many refugees see West Virginia as open for business. If enforced, the new WV Puppy Mill law will help.
Commissioner of Agriculture Walt Helmick spoke recently, assuring these public servants he's committed to establishing a sound spay/neuter program in West Virginia.
He's done his research and considered the issue for a long time. Why? "It's the right thing to do."
Most certainly, not just for unwanted pets, but for the people whose hearts and hands deal with them.
Individuals, church and civic groups can help by advocating responsible pet ownership and budgeting some amount of funds regularly for local animal welfare groups.
Commissioner Helmick is doing his part.
Now, can we do ours?

Robbins, DW, Young, WB, Behm, DG, Payne, WR, and Klimstra, MD. Physical performance and electromyographic responses to an acute bout of paired set strength training versus traditional strength training. J Strength Cond Res 24(5): 1237-1245, 2010-The objective of this study was to investigate the acute effects of performing paired set (PS) vs. traditional set (TS) training over 3 consecutive sets on volume load (VL) and electromyographic (EMG) activity of the pectoralis major, anterior deltoid, latissimus dorsi, and trapezius muscles. Following a familiarization session 16 trained males performed 2 testing protocols using 4 repetition maximum loads: TS (3 sets of bench pull [Bpull] followed by 3 sets of bench press [Bpress] performed in approximately 20 minutes) or PS (3 sets of Bpull and 3 sets of Bpress performed in an alternating manner in approximately 10 minutes). Bpull and Bpress VL decreased significantly from set 1 to set 2 and from set 2 to set 3 under both conditions. There was no difference between VL per set, or over the sessions, between the 2 conditions. PS was determined to be more efficient (VL/time) as compared to TS. EMG activity of the 4 monitored muscles was not different for the 2 conditions or within each condition over the 3 sets. However, there was a significant within-set response in EMG activity in the Bpress exercise. The data suggest that a 4-minute rest interval between sets may not be adequate to maintain VL using either protocol. The data further suggest that PS training may be as effective as TS training in terms of VL maintenance and more effective in terms of efficiency. The comparison of EMG activity between the PS and TS protocols suggests that the level of neuromuscular fatigue does not differ under the 2 conditions. PS training would appear to be an effective method of exercise with respect to VL maintenance and efficiency.

RUSH: Here's Matthew, Ramsey, New Jersey, you're next, Open Line Friday. Hello.
CALLER: Rush, it's an honor to be on with you.
RUSH: Thank you very much, sir.
CALLER: All right, I just wanted to let you know, I'm 18 years old, and everything that's been going on with the economy, the examples that you've been giving, I just want to let you know that there are people in this country that continue every single day to work their you-know-what off. I'm living proof to that, I'm 18, and I've authored two books on baseball history and they're published. And I want to let you know that no matter what happens in this country, there will always be people doing the right thing.
RUSH: There's no question about that. I have even myself over the course of the many years of this program made the observation in any number of ways. I have a phrase to describe it: "Oh, you're gonna have a recession? Sorry. I'm not participating." There will always be a select group of people, who, because of who they are, their upbringing, or just their own innate ambition, whatever obstacles are in their way, they're going to work around them. They will find a way past them. Other people, you know, everybody's different. There are differing levels of ambition and desire. And some people are way too eager for an assisting hand that becomes a providing hand. That's what we want to avoid happening. But, you know, you're unique. You understand that, don't you?
CALLER: Yes. Thank you very much.
RUSH: You are unique. Now, what we want is more people who would look at you as an example and want to try to be like you.
CALLER: Thank you.
RUSH: And we would want the opportunity, if they sought to be like you, to have an opportunity to do that rather than have a bunch of penalties or obstacles placed in their way. 'Cause not everybody's gonna have... I mean, you've written two books at age 18. That's unique.
CALLER: Yes.
RUSH: -What are the titles of your books?
CALLER: "Bonded at the Seams -- Baseball in Our Lives," and "Youthful Experience: The Baseball Way." I'm a big Yankee nut so I've actually memorized every statistic.
RUSH: Have you?
CALLER: Uh-huh.
RUSH: Then why did you publish the book if you memorized every statistic?
CALLER: Well, I just love baseball history so much. My grandfather taught it to me, a war veteran, and I just love the history of the game.
RUSH: So you can never envision yourself outgrowing your love for baseball, right?
CALLER: Never.
RUSH: Never.
CALLER: Without baseball, there is no passion in my heart.
RUSH: Fascinating. So what do you want to do? Do you want to work in baseball?
CALLER: Ideally, I'd love to work at the YES Network for the Yankees, but I just love baseball so much. Any journalism field I would love to work in and --
RUSH: You just want to get as close to it as you can?
CALLER: Exactly. That's just my dream, and I know I'll make it a reality.
RUSH: Major league, minor league, does it matter?
CALLER: Ideally, I'd love the major league but, you know, the game of baseball is just so fruitful in this country, and I'll do anything I can to make it a reality.
RUSH: Are you interested in marketing, for example? Like the business side of baseball.
CALLER: I do marketing to promote my book and stuff, but, yeah, I'm interested in any aspect of the game.
RUSH: Okay. But ideally you'd be on the baseball side. You'd be doing scouting, general manager, player personnel, that kind of stuff?
CALLER: You bet.
RUSH: Do you want to manage? I mean, do you want to put on a uniform?
CALLER: If they gave me a shot to manage, I definitely would.
RUSH: Yeah. Okay, well, you've got it. Do you play? Are you any good?
CALLER: When I was younger I was pretty good defensively at first base, caught a lot of line drives, made double plays from my knees, behind the bag a couple of times, it was a lot of fun.
RUSH: Can you hit the slider?
CALLER: Can most people hit the slider? (laughing).
RUSH: That's why Alex Rodriguez gets $250 million bucks. Hits the slider.
CALLER: Well, he can't hit it right now, unfortunately.
RUSH: (laughing) I remember when there was a big press report, the current contract that I have, partnership deal that I have, when it was announced, there was this exorbitant figure, and my buddy George Brett from the Kansas City Royals sent me a note, "When did you learn to hit the slider?" Nobody makes that kind of money unless they can hit a slider. That was his joke. Well, look, I hope you never lose your passion. And I hope you're able to get as close to the game as you want, and I hope that when you do, you don't lose your passion for it.
CALLER: Thank you so much, Rush.
RUSH: All right.
CALLER: It's been an honor to talk to you.
RUSH: Thanks for the call, sir.

Mammoth's Catton Announces Retirement
from press release
DENVER – The Colorado Mammoth announced today that defenseman Rich Catton has retired from the National Lacrosse League. Catton, an 11-year veteran, played for four teams in his NLL career, including the past five with the Mammoth.
"I feel very fortunate to have played in the NLL for more than a decade, and to have had the opportunity to finish my career with the Colorado Mammoth," said Catton.
The 6'1", 215-pound right-hander, who won the Champion's Cup with Colorado in his first year with the organization (2006), missed just three regular-season games in his five years with the Mammoth.
"Rich was Mr. Reliable for us defensively," proclaimed Mammoth President and General Manager Steve Govett. "He brought a positive attitude and tremendous work ethic year-in and year-out, and we wish him nothing but the best."
The 39-year-old British Columbia native recorded 69 points and 575 loose balls in 155 career regular-season games for the Buffalo Bandits, Vancouver Ravens, Calgary Roughnecks, and the Mammoth. Catton was the oldest player on Colorado's 2010 roster.
The Mammoth's 2011 season opener is Saturday, January 8th against the defending NLL champion Washington Stealth.

Karen Gillan Didn't Donate Hair To 'Star Wars,' Says Being Bald Was 'Weirdly Liberating'
After Scottish actress Karen Gillan shaved her head last summer, the photos went viral. The star went bald for her role in "Guardians of the Galaxy," and people are still talking about it.
They've also speculated what happened to her beautiful red locks after they were chopped off. In case you're wondering, no, her hair wasn't made into a wig for the upcoming "Star Wars" film. She told BBC at the London premiere of "Guardians" that the rumor was a "miscommunication."
During an appearance on British talk show "Lorraine," the former "Doctor Who" star talked about going bald for the first time.
"It was a really weird experience, but it was also weirdly liberating. And fun and interesting as a social experiment just to see how differently people treated me," she explained. "I think people were pretty intimidated by me, and I kind of liked it while I was playing the role. It's never happened to me before!"
Gillan plays the villain Nebula in her latest movie and had to spend four to five hours in a make-up chair each day to perfect her blue appearance.
"So I had to formally agree to shave my head before I could even audition for the role. But that was something I was really up for doing because I just think it's amazing! I think everybody should do it once in their life," she said.
"Guardians of the Galaxy" opens in theaters on Aug. 1. It also stars Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana and Bradley Cooper.
