U.S. Wins 11 Medals During Day 2 of the Pan Am Infantile Championships
(Colorado Springs, Colo.) - Miguel Ballesteros (Miami, Fla./Ki-Itsu-Sai/58kg) led the way for the American contingent on the second day of competition (13-14-year-olds) at the Pan American Infantil Championships Nov. 12 in San Jose, Costa Rica.
Ballesteros not only took the gold medal at 58kg, but also was awarded the Ippon Trophy for most ippons (instant win, similar to a pin in wrestling or knockout in boxing) scored in a tournament as well as the Outstanding Male award.
Franchesca Durand (Coral Springs, Fla./Ki-Itsu-Sai/53kg) and Marina Lambert (Chesapeake, Va./Washington Judo/+64kg) both defended their titles from last year in Santo Domingo while Kyle Taketa (Torrance, Calif./Gardena/40kg) added a gold medal to go with his 2004 silver.
Antonio Rodriguez (Pembroke Pines, Fla./Ki-Itsu-Sai/64kg) and Risha Mishima (Honolulu, Hawaii/Shobukan/48kg) also advanced to the final round, winning silver medals.
Carly Patton (Zephyrhils, Fla./El Mambi/53kg) also was honored at the tournament as the Outstanding Female of the tournament in the 11-12-year-old division, following her gold medal win Nov. 11.
Brazil won the overall medal count (31 total: 15 gold, nine silver, seven bronze). After winning a medal in each category during the 11-12-year-old event Nov. 11, the Brazilians added 16 more medals during the 13-14-year-old event.
Team USA came in a close second with 25 overall medals (eight gold, three silver, fourteen bronze). Colombia finished third with seven medals, including two gold.
"We're all proud of how the team did this weekend," said Head Coach Jhonny Prado (North Lauderdale, Fla.) "All of these athletes trained very hard for this event and the results show it."
Prado was joined in Costa Rica by Team USA staff, including Team Managers Sergeant Major E.L. Mayfield (Jacksonville, N.C.) and Antonio Rodriguez (Pembroke Pines, Fla.), USA Judo Executive Director/CEO Jose H. Rodriguez (Colorado Springs, Colo.) and referees Robert Fukuda (Fruitland, Idaho) and Gary Takemoto (Long Beach, Callif.)

Check the PSP Events page. It has all the details on there. As I read it, it is either $10 a day for a pro field grandstand ticket (adult ticket), or $35 dollars for a 4-day ticket. The pro field is the only one that will require payment to watch the games on though. It's free to watch at all the other fields, and it's free to walk around the trade show.

Extreamly helpfull
somehow the pellets work!
Posted by Reviewer1208019 on Apr 22, 2013
i was curious to try given the reviews and in my experience it makes me recover from flu faster as well as snuff out any small symptoms when it starts. my flu got worse because i didn't take it until it was too late.
Good stuff!
Posted by Reviewer1281170 on Feb 01, 2013
Twice already i started taking these as soon as i woke up unwell. I believe this product helped to stop the whatever i had from developing further and getting worse. The quantity though is a minus. Didn't have enough during my second cold/flu.
Does the trick!

Topic: Database Issue
I am having a really weird problem with my MySQL database. I have a test that looks for an item in my database with an id of 1 and my database shows this. When I run the functional test for it though I get an error showing that the test can't find anything in the database with an id of 1. When I look at my database now it shows the id of the previous item as 5 now.
I tried then to change the id in my test from 1 to 5 and run the functional test again and now it says it can't find anything in the database with an id of 5. When I check the database it now shows that the id of 1 instead of 5.
I am new to rails and databases so any help in this issue would be greatly appreciated. I am not sure if this is relevant or not but I don't have a seperate version of mysql it is bundled in with Xampp for windows.
I hope I have explained this confusing issue well enough.

Movie Mondays - Welcome to the Sticks
Join us for a screenong of Welcome to the Sticks (Bienvenue chez les Ch'tis) on Monday, December 23, 2013 at 4:00 pm in the Plaut Room.
Post office manager Philippe Abrams lives in the quaint northern town of Salon-de-Provence with his perpetually depressed wife Julie. His bosses transfer him to Bergues in the frozen north. Leaving behind Julie and expecting the worst, Philippe is surprised to find that the people of Bergues are delightful and friendly, especially postman, who becomes a good friend. Returning home, Philippe regales Julie with stories of the warmth of people in the north but she refuses to believe him, convinced it is a ploy to stop her slip-sliding even further into her black mood. So Philippe tries some reverse psychology, saying that Bergues is, in fact, hell on earth.

Here's how RW members rated this race (82 votes).
In short: Absolutely brilliant eventIn full: I can't fault it, excellent organisation, brilliant scenery in area where I train daily, great marshalling, very kind and supportive marshals, cheerful welcome at finish line and a very nice tech t shirt, gearing up for forty next yearDate of review: April 23, 2011
In short: Brilliant Event!In full: Well organised with excellent food & drink stops...friendly & supportive marshalls & volunteers + as this was my first time of running this distan, well appreciated cameraderie between all the participants! Cannot recommend this race too highly. Well done Compton Harriers!Date of review: April 7, 2010
In short: Excellent!Date of review: April 6, 2010
In short: Excellent organisation, marshalls, scenery and foodIn full: I'd like to echo all of the positive comments on here on what was an excellent day. Very few races can boast a cooked meal for all finishers, which was much welcome.Went nearly two miles off course at 17 miles due to no flour mark at a t-junction after the farm, but I won't blame anyone for this. Lost me a few places, but this ended up being even better marathon training!Can't wait for next year.Date of review: April 6, 2010
In short: (Compton 20) Marvellous - and the rain held off for the duration! In full: No point in repeating all of the richly deserved high praise from other competitors, but some highlights: beautiful scenery, enthusiastic marshalling, well-run organisation, nice top and welcome unhealthy lunch at the end! Course reasonably challenging, definitely trail shoes territory, a couple of sharpish hills in the middle section. Definitely a favourite.Date of review: April 6, 2010
In short: Probably my favourite race wach yearIn full: Love this event, only wish it was more than once a year. A summer or autumn version would be fantastic. Much more mud to get through this year but just as enjoyable. Glorious scenery, plenty of undulations & a couple of unrunnable hills. Already looking forward to the next one. Maybe one day I'll attempt the 40.Date of review: April 6, 2010
In short: Well organised, low-key, excellent event (20m Downloand Challenge)In full: I highly recommend this event. Parking easy. Race number collection easy. No big queues for toilets. All runners (20m and 40m) set off together into beautiful countryside and footpaths. The preceding rainfall made the course quite muddy in places but it could have been a lot, lot worse. Weather was kind during the race. A few really good points to mention:- fellow participants were really friendly and chatty.- the water/feed stations were excellent. Jaffa cakes, biscuits, jelly babies, ritz crackers, water, squash, fizzy drinks, hot drinks. Just what was needed. - friendly and supportive marshalsLike the rest of the event, the finish was very low key but I was happy with my cup of squash, creme egg and t-shirt. I had to miss the grub as I had to rush off afterwards.A very well organised event for those who enjoy a nice run through great countryside.Date of review: April 6, 2010
In short: Compton Harriers couldn't have done anything more - the perfect event!In full: Positives:Good pre-event communication including route available to download on garmin (beyond my expertise) or in printable form (more to my liking;sign-posting to venue was fine and the parking was well marshalled;event venue had good facilities including plenty of toilets, and showers for afterwards;registration was quick and easy, and we all lined up for the start in plenty of time;Once you got going, the first thing I noticed was how well marked the route was. This rendered the instructions that I carried as surplus to requirements. However, I did take a couple of detours due to lack of concentration and when the flour had got churned up in the mud - no problem and just added to the sense of adventure;the main positives for me was the marshaling and checkpoints/feed stations. The friendliness and enthusiasm from every individual was at a level that I've rarely seen. I enjoyed cups of tea, jaffa cakes, jelly babies/beans and there were plenty of water/orange/coke etc also on offer;At the low-key finish, you were cheered in by the small but supportive crowd, handed a creme egg, and a super techie t-shirt;A hot shower, and then a cooked meal (chips, sausages and beans) and hot rice pudding for dessert capped off a fantastic day;Negatives - absolutely none.With all the effort put in by Compton Harriers, all we had to do was run. I did the 40, and I can't recall enjoying an event as much as this. The fist 20 miles was more scenic but also more hilly than the second half. We also had the best of the weather for the first half. The feelgood nature of this event was shared by the competitors and I chatted and joked with almost everyone that I met along the route.Apart from the hills and the distance, the main challenge was the muddy terrain. It had rained heavily for most of the week preceding the event, and the conditions underfoot were challenging. My trail shoes weren't up to the job and this left me slipping and sliding. With the many puddles, I eventually came a cropper trying to scurt around them - the first fall left me merely caked in mud, but the second fall head first in a deep puddle rendered my route instruction suitable illegible and fit only for recycling. Being out for so long, the weather turned as the wind picked up and the rain came. It then got tough but my conservative pacing saw mw through okay.Despite coming home in well over 8hrs, I had a big smile on my face, and I'm still smiling two days later. It's days like this that running is the best thing in the world.Thanks to everyone at Compton for a very special day. Date of review: April 5, 2010
In short: Good value, great scenery & smooth organisationIn full: Brilliant value, and well organised. Just shows how well a small club can put on an event by concentrating on what runners what, instead of keeping sponsors happy.It's a fairly challenging 20 mile trail run, not as hard as Grizzly - I ran Compton 30 mins quicker than Grizzly. This year rather slippery underfoot due to several days of heavy rain, but not heavy mud. Parking and registration at the school all went smoothly. The toilets are dotted around the school and with a little perseverance, one with a short queue can be found - paper ran out though, so make sure you have your own.The course was generally well marked, although a few junctions could have done with more flour, just to confirm the right way. Great marshaling - thank you and drinks every 5 miles, with snacks at the later points. A good T-shirt and a school dinner at the end finished the day off nicely. Date of review: April 5, 2010
In short: Excellent organisation.In full: Thanks to the Harriers and all their helpers. This was as tough as I expected it to be. I'm sure the course feels very different when it's dry. Easy-to-follow route with terrific drink stations. Date of review: April 5, 2010

Dublin actor David Kelly passed away on Sunday following a short illness. He was 82-years-old.
For over 50 years, working right up until last year, Kelly worked in theater, television, and film. His most famous role was in the 1980s RTE series "Strumpet City". A piece of work he also singled out as one of his favorite.
His role as O'Reilly the builder in 1975 made him recognizable all over the world. According to the Irish Times he often remarked on how those nine minutes in John Cleese's comedy made him recognizable.
Born in Dublin, 11th July 1929, he started acting at the age of eight in the Gaiety Theatre. His friend, Director of the Gate Theater, Michael Colgan, speaking to RTE, also remarked on what an excellent artist Kelly was. He was a trained calligrapher and a talented watercolour artist.
In the 1960s and 70s he played eccentric characters in sitcoms such as "Oh Father", "On the Buses" and "Never Mind the Quality Feel the Width". He was also featured in 50 episodes of "Robin's Nest". He played the one armed dishwasher Albert Riddle. He also worked on "Glenroe", Ballykissangel" and "Emmerdale Farm".

Snakes in the parade banned from Savannah's St. Patrick's Day march
Northern Lights visible for Valentine's Day all over Ireland
His film work includes the 1969 version of "The Italian Job", "Into the West" and "Waking Ned". He said the nude motorbike riding scene in "Waking Ned" made him a sex symbol.
Other film credits include "Agent Cody Banks 2", "Laws of Attraction"," Stardust" and "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" , in which he played Grandpa Joe Bucket. He was tipped to win an Oscar for that role.
He told RTE he modeled the role of the sweet doting grandfather on his own Dad. "There's a lot of my dad in that part, I'd like to think," said Kelly. "He was a lovely man, probably the best man I ever knew. I'm a neurotic wreck, I always was. But he took things very easily and he had serenity: a thing that I would like to achieve some time before I go."
His most famous theater work was undoubtedly Samuel Beckett's "Krapp's Last Tape".
Kelly's contribution to the arts was rewarded in the shape of a Helen Hayes award for "Moon for the Misbegotten", and a Screen Actors' Guild nomination for "Waking Ned". In 2003 he won an ESB Theatre Award and in 2005 he was honoured with the Irish Film and Television Academy lifetime achievement award.
Speaking to the Irish Times in 2005, he commented on the fact that he always played the roles of men much older than he actually was. He said "I remember, six years ago, on my 70th birthday, some journalist writing: David Kelly is 70 today. But what I want to know is how come he's been 70 for the past 40 years'. . ."And it's perfectly true. It's a very strange thing."
When asked if he would ever retire he said, "Oh God, no. Ah no . . . I will continue hanging on to the script until they prise it from my cold, dead hands."
Similarly, speaking to RTE he said, "The nice thing about this business is that you don't retire…The idea of retirement is appalling. It sounds good for a while. People work their ass off in a job they don't like, retire early, go on a world cruise, have a heart attack and die. I think they'll have to take me out and shoot me. Not a bad way to go. Something dramatic.
His friend and co-star Niall Toibin told the Press Association "He was a hilarious man. He had an outlook on life that was slightly skewed and made you laugh all the time."
He also praised Kelly's "wicked sense of humour".
Kelly is survived by his wife, actor Laurie Morton, and their two children, David and Miriam.

There are many things that employers look for in potential employees. Experience is one thing. But academic minors can also be important when considering the potential of job applicants.
The Addiction Studies minor can enhance many different degrees offered at WMU. The program prepares students for a number of different careers with substance abuse knowledge. The curriculum focuses equally on theory and practice and explores many different methods for dealing with the substance abuse issues.
Coursework for the minor can be completed entirely online or with some face-to-face classes on WMU's main campus in Kalamazoo, Michigan. This multi-disciplinary, 18 credit hour minor prepares students to effectively deal with abuse issues in professional and personal settings.
Course credit hours for this minor may be applied to the educational requirement for the Certified Addictions Counselor Reciprocal (CAC-R) credential. The CAC-R credential is the entry level credential for Certified Addictions Counselors in Michigan.
Current students with a related major at WMU are eligible to complete this minor.
This minor prepares students for a variety of careers, including:

Washington Monthly placed WMU on a list of national universities that offer "the best bang for the buck." WMU came in at No. 50 based on the economic value students receive per dollar.

Biffy Clyro - 'Opposite' Acoustic
Biffy Clyro - 'Opposite' Acoustic
It's an uncommon (in both senses of the word) acoustic performance from Biffy Clyro, playing in London for Takamine. Even with such a moving song we can't help but don our geargoggles to take a look at what's being used.
It appears the acoustic is being recorded with the humble sE Electronics X1 mic, an entry level microphone but with sE that still means a hand built capsule and strict quality control. Using a Takamine PD7C and being Simon Neil doesn't exactly hurt for a rich, articulate sound.
James is using his signature bass (more on that below) and an SM58 vocal mic, while Ben's on an SM7B and a Latin Percussion Cajon/Tambourine.

"Business Card Holder"
Thomas Messina
Comments: I seen a really cool business card holder on the desk of a YouTube Mentor V-Log , at the time I did not know what the Chinese Stress Balls were, however I knew I wanted them on my desk because it reminded me I have to have balls of steel in this business, so I did a Google search on them and MemorableGifts popped up with the exact Card Holder and balls. The price seemed fair so I ordered them, it was simple and I was done in about a minute ( with custom script) To my surprise I got a email in a ... More details
"Chinese stress balls"
Stephanie Iaccarino
Comments: It was a wonderful gift for my teenager who loves to meditate and has tons of stress.she is having fun learning how to use them and says they work wonders.when I received them I was a bit shocked to find the personalization to be on the stand rather on the balls.but I may have missed any fine print stating where the engraving was meant to be.otherwise we are still pleased to have be living a stress free life with the help of your product.it was worth it!
"nice balls"
Stephanie Eads
Comments: I was very pleased with the quality of the stress ball set. The personalization was nice as well, but there was a "nic" in the front like when they were engraving it slipped. I covered it with black marker because I had no time to send it back. It was so obvious and should have been re-done. Otherwise all was fine.
"Great Idea!"
Vincenzo Giacinto
Comments: I saw this and right away thought it perfect for my boss who was leaving the company for other opportunities. When he got it, he called me laughing and said he will "roll with them" all the time. Great product idea
Comments: This was a wonderful gift for my boss. Being in the psych field, she really appreciated a gift that was also a stress reliever. Definitely recommend! Would have preferred if there was a choice of buying this one size larger but it still works!

Like mother, like daughter: A story about the constant need for blood
Susan Nissen lived with severe, unrelenting sinus, skin and lung infections. At age 40, she was diagnosed with primary immune deficiency, a disease that occurs in persons with an immune system that is either absent or hampered in its ability to function. Susan began IVIG treatments (intravenous immune globulin) to boost her immune system and prevent her recurrent infections. Within six months her health completely turned around.
Susan feared the worst when her own baby daughter, Kathleen, started to have reoccurring infections and was diagnosed with the same disease. She began treatment with antibiotics but later needed IVIG, requiring her to miss an entire day of school. Kathleen eventually was able to start subcutaneous home infusions and now "after two hours we just unplug and go!" Susan said.
Kathleen is now seven-years-old and because of the life-saving infusions that this mother/daughter duo receives, they are able to live fairly normal lives. "We are alive today because of generous blood donors. Together, we rely on 70 donors per month to receive this life-saving treatment. We are so grateful we don't have to live like the "boy in the plastic bubble," says Susan.

Stop struggling and start sleeping!
The first of its kind, my Restful Night Essentials® combines the five best natural sleeping aids into one powerful formula. It goes far beyond an ordinary melatonin supplement and also gives you L-theanine, valerian extract, hops extract, and lemon balm extract—each nutrient backed by science. It's this unique combination that not only helps you fall asleep faster and enjoy deep, sound sleep all night, but it helps regulate your sleep patterns. And it starts working as soon as the very first night. With Restful Night Essentials, you never feel groggy in the morning either. Instead, you wake energized and feel sharp and motivated all day long! And because it's a completely natural sleep aid and non-habit forming, you can take it every night without worry.
In one nightly dosage, you get:
- Melatonin to regulate your sleep pattern. Starting at around age 40, your levels of melatonin can naturally decline or change its pattern of release. This wreaks havoc on your sleep. When you supplement with melatonin, you're giving your body back the levels you need to reestablish healthy, normal sleep patterns.
- L-theanine to calm your mind. This amino acid promotes a relaxing effect on the mind, which is critical in falling asleep. Exciting preliminary studies also suggest it helps increase brain alpha-wave activity. This is important because alpha waves are the electrical signals produced by the brain during a relaxed state, including when you're sleeping.
- Valerian extract to promote sleep and ease frazzled nerves. This fascinating herb has been used since the 1800s for its sleep-inducing and calming benefits. While valerian has an impressive record of traditional use, it's also gaining the attention of scientists. Research suggests that valerian helps to improve sleep latency (the time it takes to fall asleep) and is closely linked to better sleep quality.
- Hops extract to fall asleep faster. Research suggests that it's a combination of hops extract and valerian extract that helps to improve sleep, decrease the time it takes to fall asleep, and increase brain alpha-wave activity.
- Lemon balm extract to relieve stress and induce sleep. Used for more than 2,000 years in traditional medicine, this herb helps ease stress and induce sleep. Plus, research suggests that lemon balm exerts a calming, mood-enhancing effect. Again, this is important because it's critical to relax both your mind and body before sleep.
Why Restful Night Essentials is better:
- It works fast…you feel it working the very first night. There's no waiting for weeks for it to build in your system like other natural sleeping aids.
- It gives you researched, science-backed nutrients so you can take it with confidence.
- It helps you fall asleep quickly and sleep soundly through the night, without "artificial" drowsiness.
- It is natural and non-habit forming. Take it every night without worry—it's actually good for you.
- It induces healthy, high-quality sleep—the kind of sleep that recharges your body, energy, and brain.
- You'll wake up incredibly refreshed—never groggy.

This is my favorite mac N cheese.
Posted by 4711326746215685864 on Sep 09, 2012
Back in the states, it was my favorite mac and cheese. Comparing with other brands, it is less salty. The problem is Back to Nature brand is more expensive than non-organic brands. But I am willing to pay. I am not living in the states at the moment, so I couldn't find mac and chesse dinner. So I am gonna reorder this soon.

This is good.
Have yet to try it
Posted by cherylphchan on Apr 12, 2015
Still sitting in my pantry
Kind of anemic
Posted by Reviewer2283039 on Mar 04, 2012
Organic macaroni and cheese is one of my occasional junk foods. I generally like all of Back to Nature's products and buy many of them. I found that Annie's Organic mac & cheese box mix had the more "junky" and "orange" flavor that I crave than this product, though. Caveat: I made it with skim milk and no butter.

U.S. Women's Media Guide for Montreux Volley Masters
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (June 12, 2011) – The U.S. Women's National Volleyball Team lost to China 16-25, 25-13, 29-27, 25-23 in the Montreux Volley Masters bronze-medal match on Sunday afternoon in Montreux, Switzerland.
China had defeated the U.S. in five sets to conclude Pool A before both teams lost their semifinal matches. At last year's Montreux Volley Masters, China defeated the U.S. in the gold-medal match. Outside of the three losses to China in the last two Montreux Volley Masters events, the U.S. is 4-0 against China dating back to 2008.
The U.S. used an 8-1 scoring run to overcome a 12-11 deficit in the opening set to win 25-16 as China committed seven errors and six different Americans scored between two and four points. The set contained 10 ties and three lead changes by the 25th point of the set. China bounced back to take an early 9-3 lead in the second set to even the match with a 25-13 win as the Americans committed seven errors and the Chinese put up five blocks in the set. The U.S. battled back from a 19-14 deficit in the third set to tie the set at 24-all, but China captured the set 29-27 on its sixth set-point opportunity. China bounced back from a 20-17 deficit in the fourth set with 7-1 scoring run en route to winning the set 25-23 and the match.
Jordan Larson (Hooper, Neb.) led the U.S. with a match-high 18 points via 13 kills, three blocks and two aces. Nicole Fawcett (Zanesfield, Ohio) came off the bench and scores all 14 of her points on kills in the final two sets. Jennifer Tamas (Milpitas, Calif.) contributed eight kills, three blocks and an ace for 12 points. Alexis Crimes (Rancho Cucamonga, Calif.) charted four kills, two aces and a block for seven points, while Tayyiba Haneef-Park (Laguna Hills, Calif.) posted six kills in the loss. Kristin Richards (Orem, Utah) tallied five kills coming off the bench, while Kim Glass (Lancaster, Pa.) added four kills in the first two sets. Nellie Spicer (Barrington, Ill.) tallied two kills and a block for three points, while Alisha Glass (Leland, Mich.) rounded out the scoring with a kill.
Nicole Davis (Stockton, Calif.) provided a team-high 24 digs and an 83 positive percent on 12 receptions. Larson tallied 15 digs to go with a 73 positive reception percent on a team-high 37 chances. Richards added 12 digs and 25 reception attempts with a 60 positive percent. Fawcett charted 11 digs.
The U.S. held advantages in kills (57-52) and aces (5-4), but China controlled the net defense with a 13-8 block advantage. In addition, China limited its errors to 18, nine of which were service errors, to the Americans' 26 errors. Both teams converted 37 percent of their attacks for kills, but China held a .288 hitting efficiency with 12 errors to Team USA's .215 hitting efficiency with 24 attack errors.
Karch Kiraly (San Clemente, Calif.), who is serving as head coach the U.S. squad during the current trip to Switzerland, started Tamas and Crimes at middle blocker, Larson and Kim Glass at outside hitter, Spicer at setter and Haneef-Park at opposite. Davis was the team's libero.
Yunli Xu paced China with 15 points, including a match-high five blocks. Jie Yang and Ruoqi Hui contributed 14 points apiece in the victory, while Junjing Yang and Linlin Fan totaled 12 points as all five starting China hitters reached a dozen points in a balanced offense.
The U.S. took a 5-3 lead in the opening set after a China service error and block by Larson as six of the first seven points of the set were scored on errors. China tied the set at 5-all on a block and an American error, then took an 8-7 lead at the first technical timeout on a block. China extended the lead to two points at 11-9 with consecutive points. The Americans tied the set at 11-al with a Tamas block after a Glass kill, then went ahead 13-12 on a Larson kill after a China service error. The U.S. added to the lead with a Crimes kill and Tamas ace at 15-12. Crimes, Spicer and Haneef-Park scored consecutive kills to extend the American advantage to 18-13. Out of China's second timeout, Haneef-Park added a fourth straight point for the U.S. to establish a 19-13 lead. Team USA used another 4-0 run with two kills from Crimes and a Larson ace to push the score to 23-14, then captured the set 25-16 on a service rotation with Richards at the line. Larson and Crimes each scored four points in the opening set, while Haneef-Park and Spicer totaled three points. The Americans held a 14-9 advantage in kills and 2-0 margin in aces, while China committed seven miscues.
China gained a 6-2 advantage in the second set with a 5-1 scoring run. China reached the first technical timeout up 8-3 on consecutive points, then came out of the break with an ace. China continued the pressure with back-to-back points at 11-4 leading into a USA timeout, then gained a 13-5 advantage after an ace. Glass put down a kill and Crimes followed with an ace to slice the gap to 13-7, but China answered with consecutive points to gain an eight-point cushion at 15-7. Tamas and Larson crushed consecutive kills to cut the gap to 15-9. China served an ace and picked up an American error coming out of the second technical timeout for an 18-9 advantage. Tamas picked up a kill and block to close the margin to 18-11, only to have China answer with two straight points to regain a nine-point advantage at 20-11. The China lead reached double-figures at 22-12 with back-to-back points and went on to win 25-13. Tamas scored four points in the second set to lead the Americans.
The U.S. scored the first three points of the third set with a Tamas block and Richards kill following a China error. China claimed the next points to close to 3-2, then scored three straight points heading into the first technical timeout leading 8-7. China increased its margin to 13-10 with four of the next five points, then reached the second technical timeout with a four-point cushion at 16-12. Fawcett and Larson scored kills after the break to cut the gap in half at 16-14, but China answered with three straight points for a 19-14 lead. Larson and Fawcett connected for kills to cut the deficit to three points at 19-16. Team USA narrowed the gap to two points with kills from Richards and Fawcett at 21-19. The U.S. battled back to within one at 23-22 following kills from Fawcett and Larson. The Americans tied the set at 24-all with a Fawcett kill and double-contact error on the China set. However, China captured the set 29-27 on its sixth set point opportunity. Fawcett scored a team-high seven points in the third set coming off the bench, while Larson added five points. The Americans committed nine errors in the set and China put up four blocks.
The Americans earned the first two points of the fourth set with a Crimes ace and Tamas kill, only to have China score five of the next six points for a 5-3 advantage. The U.S. tied the set at 6-all with a block and kill from Larson, then Fawcett put the Americans in front with a kill at 7-6. However, China served an ace to take an 8-7 lead at the first technical timeout. Larson served an ace after a China service error to push the Americans in front 10-9. The lead reversed to China at 13-12. The U.S. went back in front 15-14 with consecutive kills by Larson and Alisha Glass, then picked up its first two-point cushion of the set at 16-14 on a China attack error. Team USA extended the lead to 18-15 with back-to-back kills by Larson and Fawcett. China closed the gap to a single point at 20-19 with back-to-back points. China tied the set at 21-all with a block leading to the Americans' second timeout, then came out of the break with a third, fourth and fifth straight points to take a 24-21 advantage with match-point in hand. Team USA saved two match points with a Tamas kill and block before China closed out the set 25-23. Fawcett totaled a team-high seven points for the U.S. in the fourth set, while Larson scored six points.

Copper Country cuts?
CALUMET – The sequestration of federal funds, which is expected to have effects throughout the country will be felt locally, also, according to National Park Service officials.
Because Congress and President Barack Obama have not been able to agree on how to avoid spending cuts forced by the Budget Control Act passed in August 2011, the sequestration, or mandatory cuts, which will total $1.2 trillion, scheduled to begin today and continue until 2021, may go into effect anytime up to midnight.
Those spending cuts will affect the National Park Service, which means locally, cuts will have to be made at Keweenaw National Historical Park and Isle Royale National Park.
Mike Pflaum, superintendent of Keweenaw National Historical Park, said there will have to be changes made throughout the park because of the funding cuts.
"We have a plan at our park how to reduce service and operations," he said.
Hours and days of operation will be reduced at the Calumet Visitor Center, Pflaum said.
"The exact hours and days will be determined," he said.
Pflaum said park ranger programs involving such things as tours and interpretation will be reduced or eliminated.
The park has a visitor contact station at the Quincy Mine Hoist north of Hancock, and that will be reduced or eliminated, Pflaum said.
Technical support for the park's Heritage Sites and other partners will be reduced, also, Pflaum said.
He already knows how much funding will be cut from the KNHP budget, Pflaum said.
"We've been told to plan for a reduction of 5 percent," he said.
That cut is for the entire fiscal year, which began five months ago, so that period will also have to accounted for.
"That's like 9 percent for the fiscal year," he said.
Although Obama has until midnight to make a change to his budget or sign the sequestration, Pflaum said that doesn't look likely.
"Monday morning when we come in to work, we'll be cutting costs," he said.
Despite the funding cuts, Pflaum said KNHP won't disappear.
"The park will stay here," he said. "We will survive."
Phyllis Green, superintendent of Isle Royale National Park, said the cuts will have significant impact at the park.
"For us, we kind of lose our safety net for back-country users of the north shore," she said.
The Malone Bay and Amygdaloid ranger stations will be closed as will as the Daisy Farm campground, Green said.
There will be cuts to personnel all over the park.
"We will lose 50 percent of our seasonal staff," she said.
One of the more popular stops for tourists on the island is the Edison Fisheries, which Green said will now not have interpretive guides.
"That will be shut down," she said.
Efforts to eliminate invasive plant and animal species, such as the zebra mussel, will have to be stopped, also, Green said.
"We're not at the point of eradication, and we'll lose ground," she said.
She will also have to reduce the hours for permanent staff at the park, Green said, but she will have to keep visitors in mind when she makes those decisions.
"I try to do it in a way that will minimize the effect on visitors," she said.
Visitors will still be allowed at the park, but Green said they need to understand there may be added risk for those wanting to hike or camp in the more remote parts of the park.
"We can handle the visitors," she said. "They just don't have the safety net. The response time (of remaining rangers) is going to be doubled or tripled."
The park's Ranger III ferry boat will still make trips from the park headquarters in Houghton to the park twice in and twice out per week, Green said.
"We have bookings on every trip," she said.
The various concessions on the east and west ends of the park will still operate.
"Visitors who are there for the modern amenities, they're unaffected," she said.
Green said Isle Royale National Park averages about 16,000 visitors per year, which is one of the lowest rates in the NPS system.
"Yellowstone (National Park) gets more visitors in a day then I get in a year," she said.
In a written statement about the sequestration, Congressman Dan Benishek, R-Crystal Falls, blamed the Senate and Obama for not presenting a budget, which controlled spending.
"Frankly, it's very frustrating to see Washington once again fail to do anything about the problems our nation is facing," Benishek wrote. "In the House, we have passed two different common sense bills last year that would have replaced the president's sequester with smarter spending reductions, but the Senate never acted on them. They knew this mess was coming for over a year now and they have done nothing.
"Hard working taxpayers in Northern Michigan are fed up with seeing Washington move from one fiscal crisis to another. This is no way to run the government and it is killing job growth right now," the statement continued.
"This keeps happening because the Senate and the White House have not put forward any responsible budget plan that gets Washington's spending under control.
"We need a federal budget now. It's time these guys in Washington get their act together and offer a plan to outline and prioritize the federal government's spending for the next year and beyond. I've supported reasonable budget plans in the House the last two years. They might not be perfect, but at least these budgets are a plan. And the American people deserve a plan."

Player Development Approach
Justin Wheatley is a UEFA B qualified football coach working with Chelsea FC, In this article he explains his approach to Player Development.
As a grass roots coach, having coached at many levels, and having held a few Development roles at local clubs I feel very passionate about player development!! As coaches we should be doing our utmost to help players reach their full potential.
Personally I think we need to change our systems and mentality toward development, and we need to develop ourselves as coaches. We should all regularly try and attend refreshers courses, swap ideas and training sessions with our peers, and even look for other coaches to be our mentors!
I have been involved in a research project, (which I am trying to roll out on a big scale (if you would like to be involved and would like more details please feel free to email me)) which has given me a great insight into how I believe we can help improve our players from a young age. Currently as you know, they start at 7-a-side at U7 and then move straight up to 11-a-side at U12. It's a big change from when I first started playing - I was 6 years old playing 11-a-side on a full size pitch with a full size ball, the FA saw the need for change and introduced 7-a-side, which is much better for player development - BUT I know we can still improve on this!!
What I would like to see is the following introduced:
U7-U9 playing 4v4
U10-U12 playing 7v7
U13-U15 playing 9v9
U16 upwards 11v11
Surely we should introduce 4v4 before going 7v7?? You divide a 7-a-side pitch in 2 and have two 4v4 running simultaneously side by side, after all U7s are meant to be non competitive.
At the younger ages this will mean more touches of the ball, more decision making opportunities, etc,etc - this can only be beneficial for everyone involved, we will start to produce players who are comfortable in possession, comfortable under pressure, etc.
Why is it that the girls go from playing 7v7 to 9v9 to 11v11, but we don't do this with the boys? I hear coaches saying it's a waste if time, but I beg to differ!!
When the boys first make the transition from 7v7 to 11v11 it can be very daunting - suddenly they are on a huge pitch and some players hardly touch the ball during the space of the game! Moving from 7v7 to 9v9 on 3 quarter size pitches with 3 quarter size goal is much more of a natural progression (it's still like the senior game with off sides etc).
All we need to do is look at our national team to realise that something needs to change, our European neighbours are all progressing so much faster than us!!
Would like to hear your comments or views on this subject??
Coach Justin

Like your ideas Justin, I think it is time for change at the top.
The education is not making its way down to grassroots. We still have un-qualified, un-educated parents running tomorrows stars.
Don't get me wrong, some are giving up their time & very keen to offer opportunities to the kids but aren't qualified to do it.
Until people realise that the introduction age to football (whether that be 3, 4 or 5 years old) is the most important as this is when children fall in love with the game.
Needless to say their first introduction needs to be a positive one...unfortunately on too many occasions it is not & kids don't return. You only need to read one of my last Facebook updates in the last week to see what I mean!
But if more of us coaches start making a stand surely we can convert more people to the new way of developing kids through SSG's, good fun coaching using the ball & a friendly, fun relationship between coach, kids & parents!

I couldn't agree more Tim. I get so frustrated when I go and watch a game on a Saturday morning, and see coaches barking orders at 7 year olds. Shouting at them for making mistakes!! Coaches need to offer encouragement to the kids, and move away from being results driven! We have to focus on development, but not only development of players, but development of out coaches too!!
I would love to see the system change and see the young ones playing 4v4, and have 9v9 introduced before 11v11
When will somebody in the FA listen to what we need?
Coach Justin

Some great points there Justin and i like you progression.
I prefer 5v5 so that 4 players are on the pitch then you can still have keepers. Funny as it may seem some kids do love going in goal and as long as the goals are age appropiate then i dont see it as a problem.
It seems the F.A Future Game review is starting to look into a better approach but if you look at their proposals they are only doing 9v9 for under11/under12 then under13 onwards full size pitch and goals !!
Seems a strange progression/ decision to me.
The F.A also say they have consulted the grass roots but you speak to clubs, teams in our area and they dont seem to have been consulted! maybe i'm speaking to the wrong ppl.

Leafy sea dragon
The leafy sea dragon, Phycodurus eques, is a marine fish in the family Syngnathidae, which also includes the seahorses. It is the only member of the genus Phycodurus. It is found along the southern and western coasts of Australia. The name is derived from the appearance, with long leaf-like protrusions coming from all over the body. These protrusions are not used for propulsion; they serve only as camouflage. The leafy sea dragon propels itself by means of a pectoral fin on the ridge of its neck and a dorsal fin on its back closer to the tail end. These small fins are almost completely transparent and difficult to see as they undulate minutely to move the creature sedately through the water, completing the illusion of floating seaweed.
Much like the seahorse, the leafy sea dragon's name is derived from its resemblance to another creature (in this case, a mythical creature). While not large, they are slightly larger than most sea horses, growing to about 20-24cm(8-10 in). They feed on plankton and small crustaceans.
The lobes of skin that grow on the leafy sea dragon give it the appearance of seaweed, allowing it to camouflage with its surroundings. Its leafy appearance also enables it to appear to move through the water like a piece of floating seaweed. It can also change colour to blend in, but this ability relies on the sea dragon's diet, age, location, and stress level.
The creature has a long, pipe-like snout that it uses to feed. It primarily eats crustaceans including plankton and mysids, but its diet also includes shrimp and small fish. It catches its prey using its ability to be camouflaged. Leafy sea dragons oddly enough do not have teeth, which is rare amongst animals that eat small fish and shrimp.
The leafy sea dragon is related to the pipefish and belongs to the family Syngnathidae, along with the seahorse. It differs from the seahorse in appearance, form of locomotion, and its inability to coil or grasp things with its tail. A related species is the weedy sea dragon, which is multi-coloured and grows weed-like fins but is smaller than the leafy sea dragon. In the November 2006 issue of National Geographic, marine biologist Greg Rouse was reported as investigating the DNA variation of the two sea dragon species across their ranges.
The leafy sea dragon is the official marine emblem of the state of South Australia. A biennial Leafy Sea Dragon Festival is held by the District Council of Yankalilla, South Australia. It is a festival of the environment, arts and culture of the southern Fleurieu Peninsula, with the theme of celebrating the leafy sea dragon. The inaugural festival in 2005 attracted over 7,000 participants and visitors.[1]
As with seahorses, the male leafy sea dragon cares for the eggs. The female produces up to 250 bright pink eggs, then deposits them on to the male's tail via a long tube. The eggs then attach themselves to a brood patch, which supplies them with oxygen. It takes a total of nine weeks for the eggs to begin to hatch, depending on water conditions. The eggs turn a ripe purple or orange over this period, after which the male pumps its tail until the infants emerge, a process which takes place over 24-48 hours. The male aids in the babies hatching by shaking his tail, and rubbing it against seaweed and rocks. Once born, the infant sea dragon is completely independent, eating small zooplankton until large enough to hunt mysids. Only about 5% of the eggs survive. Leafy sea dragons take about 28 months to reach sexual maturity.[2]
The leafy sea dragon uses the fins along the side of its head to allow it to steer and turn. However, its outer skin is solid, limiting mobility.
Individual leafy sea dragons have been observed remaining in one location for extended periods of time (up to 68 hours) but will sometimes move for lengthy periods. Tracking of one individual indicated it moved at up to 150 metres (490 feet) per hour.[3]
Leafy sea dragons are subject to many threats, both natural and man-made. They are caught by collectors, and used in alternative medicine. They are vulnerable when first born, and are slow swimmers, reducing their chance of escape from a predator. Seadragons are often washed ashore after storms, as unlike their relative the seahorse, seadragons cannot curl their tail and hold onto seagrass to stay safe.[citation needed]
They have become endangered through pollution and industrial runoff as well as collection by fascinated divers who are entranced by their unique appearance. In response to these dangers they have been officially protected by the Federal Government of Australia.
The leafy sea dragon is found only in the waters of Australia from Kangaroo Island on the Southern shoreline to Jurien Bay[4] on the Western shoreline. It was once thought to be very limited in its range; however, further research has discovered that the sea dragon will actually travel several hundred metres from its habitat, returning to the same spot using a strong sense of direction. They are mostly found around clumps of sand in waters up to 50 metres (164 feet) deep, hiding among rocks and sea grass. They are commonly sighted by scuba divers near Adelaide.[5]
In captivity
Due to being protected by law, obtaining sea dragons is often an expensive and difficult process as they must be from captive bred stock, and exporters must prove their broodstock were caught before collecting restrictions went into effect, or that they had a license to collect dragons. To date, only the Tennessee Aquarium in Chattanooga, Tennessee has been able to breed the Leafy Sea Dragon. The Aquarium was first able to do so in 2003. Sea dragons have a specific level of protection under federal fisheries legislation as well as in most Australian states where they occur.[6]
They are very fragile and unstable outside their natural habitat. Success in keeping them has been largely in the public aquarium sector, due to funding and knowledge that would not be available to the average aquarium enthusiast.

Hello everyone,
I know there are a few people round here that have had this brick and just wanted to see if anyone could provide some tasting notes of it. I am guessing that it tastes similar to a Menghai product but a little more aggressive. Thinking about getting a few to taste and if I like them maybe getting like 5 or so to age.

Thanks for any help.

Very economical way to get your D
Posted by NBPT100 on Jul 14, 2013
There is lots of research out now on vitamin D. It is actually a hormone and not a vitamin. It was misclassified as a vitamin when it was first discovered. You have vitamin D receptors all over your body proving it has influence on many biological processes. As time goes on science will learn more of what it does but below are just a few know positives about maintaining a high vitamin D level: It is an important immune system modulator. It is also important in helping calcium get into the bones and teeth. It helps insulin get into the cells slowing or preventing insulin resistance. It has been shown to reduce the risk of colon, breast, bladder, and thyroid cancer. It has been shown to reduce the risk of stroke. It can slow the onset of autoimmune diseases. It can help Most people to supplement. Especially those who can not get enough vitamin D from sun exposure. This is especially true of those living in Colder claimants as the angle of the sun is too shallow to be effective in receiving enough uv-b radiation needed to make D. You should get your Vitamin D levels measured every year at your annual physical with a 25-hydroxy vitamin D test. You may be surprised how low your level is. Most functional medicine doctors and ND's agree that a healthy level should be 50-100 ng/ml. Many lab ranges are 30-80. So be aware of this discrepancy. Many MD's still do not measure it and those that do subscribe to out dated lab ranges. It is best absorbed with your largest meal of the day and taking it with some fat helps in the absorption. This product is in olive oil (a very stable oil) which provide some fat. Beware of other D drops that are in less stable oils like sunflower oil. Oils like this can go rancid much easier. These drops are a very economical way to purchase your vitamin D and I have always been satisfied with Nature's Answers quality.

2 drops a day make a tremendous difference. You can feel the effects of renewed energy and of consistent good health. Now that recommendation is coming from a married couple that eats only the best, natural, whole, and organic foods. Highly recommended!

I have had my vitamin D25 OH level checked regularly for over 3 years due to severe osteoporosis treatment. After I switched to this as my main source of D3, my blood level of D25 OH dropped unexpectedly. I do not trust this product and wish I had not been using it for over half a year. Brands I trust based on testing are Now and Life Extension.
Don't buy

Produit de qualité, très efficace

Faisant très certainement une carence en vitamine D (je fuis le soleil, en plus), j'ai décidé de prendre un complément de vitamine D sous forme liquide - apparemment la meilleure façon d'en prendre pour qu'elle soit bien assimilée. La prise est facile, le produit n'a aucun goût et surtout au bout d'une semaine déjà je constate les effets bénéfiques : plus de peps, meilleure forme globale et je suis moins frileuse. Après j'imagine que pas mal de compléments de vitamine D liquide se valent, j'ai choisi cette marque là par raport à son prix et aux commentaires positifs. Je testera peut-être une autre marque lorsque j'aurai terminé mon flacon.
very good

I'm one who finds taking pills (of any kind) detestable, especially with all the good supplements on the market these days. I chose this product for two reasons: no pill to take is the first and the second is that it comes in a 4,000 IU dosage. I will order this again.
