Research Interests
Synaptic Mechanisms; Autonomic Innervation; Heavy Metal Toxicity
Synaptic Mechanisms Involved in Autonomic Control and Heavy Metal Toxicity.
We have been studying various aspects of the autonomic (particularly parasympathetic) innervation and control of the mammalian heart. Our studies on the content and dynamics of cardiac acetylcholine (ACh) have been bringing us closer to the unsolved problems related to ACh functional pools and release mechanisms. We have employed a direct chemical approach which allows for the specific determination of cardiac choline (Ch) and ACh. We have used these methods to describe the patterns of distribution of ACh in mammalian heart, and have provided evidence for parasympathetic innervation of the mammalian ventricle and a non uniform distribution of pre-ganglionic parasympathetic innervation of the heart. We have demonstrated a mechanism capable of attenuating the heart rate response to vagal stimulation that involves presynaptic alpha1 adrenergic receptor inhibition of ACh release. We have also developed a new mathematical model to describe ACh turnover kinetics.
We are studying mechanisms of synaptic events, including neurotransmitter release, and the mechanisms of heavy metal ions in inhibiting stimulus-response coupling in a unique model system, the electric organ in the tail of the little skate, Raja erinacea (an elasmobranch marine fish). The approach is to make quantitative correlations between the changes in physiology, neurochemistry, and ion movemenmt resulting from exposure to heavy metal ions in a single physiologically functioning organ preparation. Thus far, we have characterized the evoked electrical discharge, neuotransmitter (ACh) release, and Ca uptake in Raja electric organ; characterized the pre synaptic and post-synaptic Ca channels in this organ; and determined that heavy metal ions act on the pre-synaptic membrane to inhibit evoked ACh release.

Hi all,
I've been experimenting a little lately, with adding a pinch of sheng to my pot of shu. Maybe around 4g shu to 1g sheng, give or take. Has anyone else tried this?
Of course the result varies a lot depending on the tea, and many of my teas I'd never really consider mixing with others.... But some of them do seem perfect for it.
For instance, this 2008 Nan Jian Tulin 803 shu -- it's a good cheap daily drinker, doesn't really have a strong flavor, and responds well to a pinch of sheng -- spices it up a bit. But I'm not sure, I haven't tried it with Menghai shu yet.
I first got the idea from the folks at my local tea shop (they're from HK). They are big into 90s shu (don't sell much else, actually). The only sheng they had for a while was a very "tippy" late 90s maocha that was heavy on the barnyard taste. But they recommended putting a pinch of that into some of the stronger 90s shus to balance it out.
It definitely adds a dimension to the daily grind of tea-drinking!
Anyone else try it?

Compare great Suzuki Bangs, Knocks and Rattles prices in Newcastle upon Tyne with Who Can Fix My Car.
A very fast and reliable service and very copetitive will use again when rear pads need replacing thanks for your fast efficient service
Friendly chaps, who carried out the work quicker than expected. Thanks.
Great job, prompt and friendly service. Will definitely use again.
Great service from the Tariq and the guys at Fenham Garage. Small problem (washers) turned into a big job due to the placement of the washer bottle behind the wheel arch! Tariq showed me the issue, explained what was required, the parts he would use and kept me informed throughout. Cheers guys
Price was as quoted, really good, would use again
Excellent service will be using again
Excellent all round service for the price. Would certainly recommend and use in the future.
They quoted a price and apart from a faulty head light which had to be added,;that's the price I paid. Collected and dropped off my car - great price, great job, great garage.
They actually charged me less then the quote as the brake fluid did not need changed. The guys at the garage were great, definitely will use them again
Excellent service thank you.
Great service friendly staff kept upto date with what they needed too great 5star service thanks northeast garages
Excellent customer service and great price. Really friendly staff too ! I had a first full service and would recommend this garage. The £89 cost included oil & filter, all checks and vat.
Quick and efficient. Reasonable price! Helpful and pleasant services.
Price was same as estimated which was good. Service book stamped and talked through minor issues.
Brilliant price and job done as per expectation!
The supplier Premier Care centre were fantastic, very efficient on the initial enquiry, booked me in as early as possible with a realistic date, collected my car and carried out the service as requested along with full diagnostic check. The did a very thorough job and inspection on the car, they rectified my cold start problem with a small part from main dealers and also fitted a replacement fuel filter in addition as requested.the car was returned to me exactly as stated and has been absolutely perfect since.
I had a great experience with this garage and the staff were super friendly and even managed to book me in on Christmas Eve!They made my car feel alive again and for this i will go going back there again very soon!
Had problems but resolved quickly
was good and honest, unfortunately the car was a scrapper and the cost was more than the whole thing was worth Thanks
Terrible, awful, Time waster just a few words to describe this service/mechanic. Used this site for convenience, I posted a job and accepted this quote as it was really good. Car was booked in, well arranged to collect as its an internet based service, in reality this means you have no idea where your car goes or who to contact as the numbers provided are never answered, guess what no ones shows up. Managed to get hold of the person who arranged this only to be told that the part was not available and he would collect four days later on Saturday morning , bank Holiday weekend, suprise suprise after cancelling my plans to have the work done nobody shows up to collect the car. Emails sent, voice messages left to no reply. Customer left in limbo. Please avoid using Mac the Clutch. Your much better off avoiding and looking for a mechanic yourself.
Cheers lads, thanks for your time today, I was given wrong information regarding the belt. Nice genuine guys didn't charge which is a bonus, just gutted about your diagnosis. Would defo use again.
First class clutch replacement by Alan. Collected the car first thing and returned it to the door with clutch replaced and feeling like a brand new car. I couldn't believe such a competitive estimate. Nice to see integrity and good workmanship these days. I will be definitely be calling on Alan again in the future - First Class customer service.
Great service, arrived on time. Polite and friendly would definitely use Mark again.
Mark arranged a time and place to fit exhaust and was bang on time. He was polite, courteous and knowledgeable. Mark even went the extra mile to come back the next day to fit an extra part which we only discovered was needed when the exhaust was off. Great service. I am VERY satisfied.
First car, First driver, First Mechanic and definitely the only one I would use and recommend. Mark was brilliant he came when he said he would and spent a long time replacing all brake pipes. Friendly and reliable person. Would definitely recommend him to others.
Excellent service and great communication. Repaired car on the drive as it was unable to be driven. Very reasonable price. Very satisfied customer who would highly recommend this service. Thank you Mark.
Excellent work, much quicker than expected and good value for money. Definitely will use again. Had both front suspension springs replaced.

The third quarter of 2010 was not good for shipments of graphics adapters at all. The only category that got a boost was desktop discrete graphics cards, whereas mobile adapters and all integrated solutions declined in terms of unit shipments, according to numbers released by Mercury Research.
The whole market of PC graphics adapters (including discrete and integrated processors for desktops and laptops) was down 4.9% sequentially and totaled 116.365 million of units. Without any surprises, Intel Corp. continued to be the leader with 54.6% of the market followed by Advanced Micro Devices' ATI unit (23%) as well as Nvidia Corp. (21.1%).
*Shipments are in millions.
But even shipments of Intel were below those in the second quarter of the year by 4.2%. Shipments of ATI Radeon graphics processors declined by 10.7%, which is a significant drop. In fact, only Nvidia Corp. managed to sell more graphics adapters in Q3 than it did in Q2, even though the increase of unit sales is just 1.5%. There are two reasons why Nvidia managed to boost its shipments and share in the third quarter (vs. Q2): the company sold 28.7% more desktop discrete graphics cards and 41% more chipsets with integrated graphics for desktops.
*Shipments are in millions.
Two categories that suffered the most due to local market weakness in the third quarter are discrete graphics processors for mobile computers (-22.77%) as well as integrated graphics processors for laptops (-11.1%). Considering how strong mobile graphics adapters - both standalone and built-in - were in the second quarter, it seems that in Q3 there was a lot to do with correction (as OEMs and resellers had to sell the available inventory).
ATI, graphics business unit of Advanced Micro Devices, managed to maintain its lead on the market of discrete graphics adapters in Q3 2010. The company shipped 16.95 million of standalone GPUs, whereas Nvidia supplied 16.7 million of discrete graphics processors.
Please note that Mercury Research market data was found on the Internet. While it seems to be accurate, some of the numbers in this news-story are approximates.

About Me Education Oriented, Parent Of Two Or More Children, Stay At Home Parent
Comments about Educational Insights Hot Dots® Jr. Beginning Science:
We received this along with the Princess wand, which my daughter loves. She's 4.5 years old and I found that this is too easy for her she knew all of the answers, so I try to improvise by talking about each object on the card and giving her some extra information... I would definitely recommend this to parents with kids getting ready to go to preschool or barely starting preschool. The carry-on box is also handy, I personally don't like toys with many pieces but toys that come with something handy like a briefcase or a box with a handle to store all the pieces are always a plus for me.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great gift for preschoolers!

About Me Parent Of Two Or More Children
My preschooler loves these! She received the princess wand pen from EI as well. These are the perfect level of challenging for her - some she's mastered, other she's still learning to master. She loves the cards just as they are - as a mom of a toddler and a preschooler - I kind of wish they were on a large ring or in book form. Sometimes it's hard to keep track of all the cards. The box they arrive km is sturdy and certainly acceptable for storage - but the individual cards turn up on various places occasionally. All in all - these cards in combination with a pen of choice would make an excellent gift for any preschooler!

About Me Parent Of Multiples (Twins etc), Parent Of Two Or More Children
We received the Hot Dots, Jr. Beginning Science as a gift for our 3 kids ages 4.5 and 3 yr old twins. They love the challenge of finding the correct answer. I can either read the question to them or they can figure out what the match is on the card. Questions are engaging, thoughtful and allows them to ask me questions about the animal or plant on the card. Like where do potatoes grow? Or where does a bunny live? Then the typical toddler/preschooler question.... But why? I wish it came with its own wand. It comes separately. We did receive the magical wand with with the box and the wand fits inside the box which is great so the cards and wand won't get separated. This set will be great for rainy days, car trips, busy bag activities and anytime a busy mom needs a break.

Speaking today via videoconference, U.S. Ambassador to Haiti Kenneth Merten briefed the press about Haiti's elections, scheduled for Sunday, November 28th.
Ambassador Merten said,"...We are five days away from presidential and legislative elections here in Haiti, and we thought this would be a good opportunity to affirm our support for the Haitian peoples' right to participate in free, fair, and transparent elections on November 28th. This is something we have discussed with the Haitian government and various elements of the Haitian population for a long time. Given the issues the next president and the next legislature will have to confront here in Haiti in terms of providing vision for Haiti's future and a program for implementing that vision, we hope to see broad participation amongst the Haitian population in this important election. We urge Haitians to go out and vote and to exercise their right to do so.
"While this is the fifth presidential election to take place in Haiti since the end of the Duvalier dictatorship, I think everyone is aware of the issues that arose in the aftermath of the January 12th earthquake. And before any preparation took place, the first thing the Haitian government and the United Nations examined was the feasibility of holding these elections, from registering new voters, replacing lost or destroyed voter cards, ensuring sufficient voting centers, and tackling the question of where displaced persons could vote.
"They concluded that these elections could take place, and we have supported that process. We have provided $5 million in electoral fund -- to the electoral fund administered by the UN Development Program, and our contribution went towards materials such as paper for ballots and ballot boxes.
"While much remains to be done this week, the process is on track: 250,000 new voters were registered and more than 11,000 voting stations have been identified. Overseeing the electoral process is the Haitian Conseil Electoral Provisoire, or CEP, and they are the agency charged with ensuring that these elections take place in accordance with Haitian law; namely, that they are free, fair, and transparent. We expect the CEP to carry out its duties in fulfillment of Haitian law and with the transparency that befits democracy and that the Haitian people deserve. We emphasize that there must be transparency in the hiring and training of poll workers.
"Security is also an issue on everybody's minds, and the government of Haiti and the UN have thought a lot about this very subject. The Haitian National Police is in charge of election day security with support from the UN Stabilization Mission in Haiti, or MINUSTAH. MINUSTAH is also assisting the CEP with much of the logistics for the elections, including transporting ballots and monitoring the vote count.
"There are a number of observers in Haiti, including the Joint Electoral Observation Mission, an effort of the Organization of American States, or OAS, and the Caribbean Community of Nations, CARICOM. This mission, headed by Ambassador Colin Granderson of Trinidad and Tobago, has been on the ground in Haiti since August working with the CEP and other political actors to observe the process and listen to grievances.
"The mission is expected to have over 100 observers in Haiti who will deploy throughout the country to monitor the electoral process. We have supported this mission from the outset and believe it is performing a crucial role, and we look forward to hearing their continued assessments of the process.
"Haitian civil society groups will also have important work to do, and we estimate that there will be between 5,000 and 7,000 Haitian electoral observers keeping an eye on things. Over the years, we have invested -- invested a lot in promoting political parties and grassroots organizations, including $8 million in grants to the National Democratic Institute and the International Institute for Electoral Systems this year. We believe that democracy is more than just elections and it includes a vibrant civil society. Funding to NDI and IFES served to assist voter registration -- excuse me -- recruitment and training of poll workers, training of domestic election observers, and development of nonpartisan voter education materials. We believe that these initiatives will increase the accountability and effectiveness of the CEP.
"So between Haitian civil society, the Joint Electoral Observation Mission, and other groups, there will be a lot of eyes watching the process and ensuring that it is free, fair, and transparent. We have been encouraged by the effort to date and hope that the Haitian people go out and exercise their right to choose their president and their legislators."

For 50 years, the Lincoln set featured the Memorial reverse and has been very popular with collectors. Then, in 2009, to celebrate the Lincoln cent turning 100 years old, the design was changed with four different reverses to reflect four periods in the life of Lincoln. Again, in 2010, a new reverse design was introduced. Whether the Lincoln cent will end here is a question still unanswered by the U.S. Mint. Proof coins are the pinnacle of the coiner's art and a full Red, Proof-70 Deep Cameo Lincoln Cent can be an incredibly breathtaking and impressive coin. Perfection is the key in this series and the competition is tough. Are you up to the challenge?

iHerb Customer Reviews
Savings of: $1.70 (38% off)
Rich, delicious, fruit-filled preserves
Posted by stephd on Mar 16, 2011
This is a truly superior product at an amazing price. I'm not even a big preserves/jelly/jam eater, but this stuff is so tasty that I crave it on my toast, English muffins, mixed with fruit to make a compote for waffles... yum! IMHO, the fruit flavors are so rich and sweet that you just need a touch on your food, which makes the jar last longer than other preserves. It's chunky but it's still easy to spread right out of the fridge. I bet this would be amazing paired with something savory, like a sharp cheese & hearty crackers, or with a pork tenderloin roast (perhaps diluted to use as a glaze, or just served on the side as a sweet topping)... really, you've got to try this stuff!
Posted by alvinlky on Aug 14, 2014

I believe it is time for the two of the to commit to each other. The sonner they marry and the sooner they have a couple of kids a little Johnny and a little Katie the better off they will bee. At age 37 , John's 37 birthday; double that age and you reach the average life expectancy when all women and men have their longevity added together. The age we are left with 74 years… The longer you wait the more set in our ways. My first was @ 33 and second was at 35. Am 65 now. Seens like a couple of blinks ago. Don't wait too long Katie and John. You need to be young as you can be to enjoy your children. If too old the will get on your
nerves. As an older parent it is hardet to relate to them. A 20 something parent still has the energy to keep up with them.Blessings Edward

Astronics to Acquire EADS T&S
Astronics Corp., looking to boost its test systems business and expand into the commercial aerospace market, has agreed to acquire EADS North America's Test and Services (EADS T&S) unit for $53 million.
The New York-based aircraft lighting and electronics manufacturer expects the purchase agreement to close in February. Irvine, Calif.-based EADS T&S provides engineered Automatic Test Systems (ATS), subsystems and instruments for commercial aerospace and defense operators.
Peter Gundermann, CEO of Astronics, said the purchase would allow his company to take advantage of EADS T&S's successful expansion into becoming a commercial aerospace supplier, a challenge that Astronics has not been as effective at tackling during the recent significant reduction in defense spending in the United States and abroad.
"We like the EADS business also because it has a proven ability to diversify and find new markets, especially at this time where the defense industry is in a bit of a lull. In fact, in 2013, more than half of the revenues for the EADS business were from the commercial market," said Gundermann during a conference call with investors.
The EADS acquisition follows the December 2013 closing of Astronics' purchase of European in-flight entertainment/communications systems' provider PGA Electronic.
The chief executive said his company is accustomed to competing in the same markets where EADS has against major aerospace and defense companies such as Boeing, Northrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin.
In 2013, EADS T&S had sales of $70 million, and Astronics is projecting the business will increase that to $100 million in 2014.
Whereas Astronics excels in the software portion of automated testing, Gundermann said that the acquisition of EADS T&S will strengthen the company's proficiency on the hardware and automation side, and in continued market diversification. "EADS T&S has developed a strong presence in a diversified set of industries, which provides a broad range of market opportunities for growth," he said.

I am having issue agreeing with that you can't make a good consistent pizza unless you have a scale.
A cup is a cup. Your cup and my cup are exactly the same volumetrically. The difference in weight comes from how you scoop and measure...
That is true sometimes, but in this case it's not true. Not even close to true. Even if it was true, it wouldn't matter because you can't measure one cup of flour exactly the same way you measured it the previous time or how you'll measure it the next time. It will always be different, no matter how hard you try to do it the same way every time.I have weighed flour from these different measuring cups over and over, and the weight is consistently different--vastly different--from one cup to another. If you don't believe me, go buy a few different measuring cups and try it yourself.I'm going weigh water in these cups now, and then I'll return to update you how much different the weight is between one cup and another cup that is "exactly the same volumetrically."
I don't know Bert...Ryan seems to make a pretty good argument that you will be addressing a bit more of a sophisticated crowd.This could actually possibly turn in your favor. By starting your instruction booklet(or whatever you intend to do)out right from the start with a little tutorial about weight measuring this might help to catch the eye of people who are more serious about outdoor pizza making. If done correctly and you still give a choice then I don't see what it would hurt if you know what I mean.
....but I couldn't resist these pies... I have been eating them for lunch for the past three day, two slices left...I guess that will be my breakfast.
...the claim that you can't make consistent quality pizza unless you weigh you ingredient.
OK, I'm done.Here's what I did: I took a "one cup" measuring cup and set it on my scale. Tared it to 0. Filled with water until it was almost overflowing. Then I filled very slowly until the water overflowed. Once the water finished dripping over the edge of the scale, I tapped the mechanical scale lightly.I did this again with a different "one cup" measuring cup, and then again with a third "one cup" measuring cup.The first "one cup" weighed 8.75 oz.The second "one cup" weighed 8.10 oz.The third "one cup" weighed 8.63 oz.Just in case I did something wrong, I did it all over again.8.75 oz.8.14 oz.8.52 oz.Obviously there was a little bit of error on my part between the first and second scaling of the third measuring cup, but it's still very minor and insignificant. So I'd like to know how all three of these measuring cups are the exact same size but still manage to measure three considerably different amounts of water when filled to capacity.
Here is the problem; water has a property that flour doesnt
Here's the problem: The cups do not hold the same capacity.
I guess instead of converting volume to weight, I should invest into a scale ... I am looking at this one https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001NE0FU2/?tag=pmak-20 any other recommendation?
Buy higher quality equipment.
Just quick question, regardless of what the recipe calls for flour and water, the end user may still need to make minor adjustment depending on their humidity level, Is this a correct statement? and if they don't, is that going to have any impact?
... I should invest into a scale ...

The most important thing you can do right now is zero in on a final flour choice (which I think you're doing)stretch as many skins as you possible can (the thinner the better)start building up as much data as you can regarding fermentation temps/times.
Pizza #4, shown in all the pics here was a bit of an odd-ball orphan but it was by far the most popular. It consisted of Pendleton Power, about 75%, and the remaining S&F flour I had in a jar, about 25%. Hydration was 65% and about tsp of IDY was used. This ball was about 6 days old. It overproofed and I knocked it down and reballed after 48 hours, it blew-up again and I reballed a second time at 96 hours, this was the third rise with the yeast gobbling-up what was left of a tsp of sugar originally. Bake time 5:00 ! It almost went into the garbage.
When you reballed twice did you use a lot of bench flour? Enough to make the overblown feeling go away, and return it to a starting doughball? What was the bench flour? Proofing temp? Ball weight to begin with and finally before use?

Drop-down panels maximize workspace
If storage space is at a premium in your shop, try this solution from Club member Don Richer of New Boston, New Hampshire. He uses scrap lumber to build hinged storage panels that pivot down from overhead joists. For smaller objects, Don simply attaches a 1x4 stiffener along one edge of a plywood sheet; then he fastens the opposite edge of the sheet to the overhead joists with a pair of strap hinges. To store large objects (such as sections of PVC pipe), Don adds 1x4 dividers to the plywood sheet, positioned so that they fit between the joists and form individual storage bins. To lower and raise the storage panels, Don uses a length of rope fed through a screw eye in one of the opposing overhead joists. Brought to you by: American Profile

Taylor is the kindest, most intelligent and talented person on earth and she deserves all the success and the love she gets and more. She is probably the most sincere in this industry!!!
Fu. k the haters who don't know her and say she is fake. She gives so much and not only money to numerous charities. And the haters gonna hate hate and the rest of us will shake it off…..
Posted at 3:05 AM on September 5, 2015
Posted at 5:07 AM on September 5, 2015
So, let me get this straight…
@ 2:59 Seb leaves a comment praising Taylor for being the kindest, most intelligent & talented person ON EARTH. WOW
We are all entitled to our own opinion but you weren't done yet because…
@3:01 you replied to 1D as Sor letting them know you didn't agree w/their comment telling them they are "Prob not a sweetheart…"
even though you weren't any kinder when you replied to ladyjjoa
@3:03 as Dan agreeing w/them while you trashed Miley saying "true! And she thinks she is beautiful. Lol!!!!!"
but the one comment that left me LOL was when you went back to your original comment & REPLIED TO YOURSELF
@3:05 as Tomi "AGREE. FU.K these negative people here!"
Moral to story: if you are going to leave MULTIPLE comments make sure they aren't minutes apart from each other all made on the same day. Even though you created a new name for each comment it is obvious by your style of writing & the times that you left the comments they were all created by the same person. Furthermore, if you are going to preach about "haters" make sure you aren't one yourself.

After nearly a decade, Noelle Pikus-Pace found her way back to the top of World Cup women's skeleton competition.
On Friday, Pikus-Pace won her first World Cup gold medal since 2004 in Koenigssee, Germany.
"It's been so long since I've won a World Cup race that I'm having a tough time accepting it," said Pikus-Pace, who became the first U.S. woman to win a skeleton world championship when she did in 2007. She later finished fourth in the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games, after which she briefly retired.
"It seems surreal," she added. "One of my regrets looking back was that I didn't enjoy the moment enough when I was winning. So I'm going to let myself enjoy this win for the weekend before looking ahead to the next race."
Pikus-Pace overcame a 0.03-second deficit to Canada's Sarah Reid during the second run, which she made with snow falling.
"It felt incredible," Pikus-Pace said after the 0.41-second win. "It was so good to hear the national anthem played, especially on foreign soil.
"It's all coming together."
Katie Uhlaender finished ninth in the women's skeleton competition.
Meanwhile, in women's bobsled, Elana Meyers and Aja Evans set a track record for fastest start, then broke it in their next race on the way to an eighth-place finish on Friday. Meyers and Evans had a start time of 5.22 seconds in the first heat and 5.20 seconds in the second heat.
Steven Holcomb, Curt Tomasevicz, Steve Langton and Chris Fogt tied for seventh in the four-man bobsled Sunday.
Alpine: Ted Ligety and Alice McKennis posted World Cup victories Saturday. Ligety won the giant slalom in Adelboden, Switzerland, while McKennis won her first World Cup race with a downhill victory in St. Anton, Austria.
McKennis led three U.S. women in the top six. Laurenne Ross was fifth and Lindsey Vonn, making her return after suffering intestinal illness and taking a hiatus from the circuit in December, placed sixth.
Ligety, the World Cup giant slalom points leader, moved to third in the overall World Cup standings.
"This has been a tough course for me in my career so I'm happy to get the win," Ligety said after his 15th career giant slalom win, tying the total posted by Italy's Alberto Tomba, and his first on the Koenigsberg course in Adelboden.
The victory marked Ligety's fourth of the season.
McKennis had never finished in the top three before finishing in 1:14.62 to beat Daniela Merighetti of Italy by 0.07. Anna Fenninger of Austria was third, and overall World Cup leader Tina Maze of Slovenia finished fourth.
"It's totally shocking for me," McKennis said. "I had hoped to be top 10. … I'm a little overwhelmed but extremely happy. It's a dream come true — something you think about as a little kid growing up."
Vonn missed the podium by just a hundredth of a second in the super G. Julia Mancuso was sixth.
David Chodounsky posted a career-best 10th-place finish Sunday in the slalom. Ligety was 11th.
Cross Country: Andy Newell put together his best classic sprint finish in three seasons, taking sixth in the World Cup event Saturday in Liberec, Czech Republic. Sadie Bjornsen and Ida Sargent combined for a seventh-place finish in the World Cup freestyle team sprint Sunday.
Freestyle: Emily Cook and Dylan Ferguson finished ninth in the World Cup event in Val St. Come, Quebec, Canada.
Nordic Combined: Brothers Bryan and Taylor Fletcher combined for a seventh-place finish at the World Cup team sprint in Chaux-Neuve, France.
Ski Jumping: Defending overall World Cup champion Sarah Hendrickson produced her second World Cup win of the season Saturday in Hinterzarten, Germany, then added a second-place finish Sunday. Hendrickson has two wins this season and 11 in her World Cup career. Lindsey Van was 11th Saturday and 10th Sunday.
Three 2010 Olympians — Julia Clukey, Chris Mazdzer and Erin Hamlin — gave the United States top-10 finishes during the Sprint Cup Friday to begin the World Cup weekend in Oberhof, Germany.
Clukey was fifth and Hamlin seventh among the women in the format where all lugers participated in a one-heat shootout rather than the usual combination of two times. Mazdzer finished a career-best seventh in men's singles.
"The Germans have notoriously dominated the races here in Oberhof the past few years," Clukey said. "I was happy to be the first non-German finisher."
Clukey and Hamlin were sixth and seventh in the women's singles World Cup Saturday. Mazdzer and Taylor Morris had career-best World Cup finishes Sunday. Mazdzer was 12th and Morris was 20th.
Chas Guldemond and Jamie Anderson won the men's and women's slopestyle titles Friday at the Sprint U.S. Grand Prix in Copper Mountain, Colo. The Grand Prix, an FIS World Cup event, was the first chance for athletes to begin accumulating Olympic qualifying points at an event in the United States.
"It feels so good to be on top and start the Olympic qualifying period," Guldemond said.
Luke Mitrani and Olympic champion Kelly Clark each finished second in Saturday's halfpipe finals. Louie Vito added a third-place finish. The United States claimed five of the top seven women's halfpipe spots with Arielle Gold, Kaitlyn Farrington, Ellery Hollingsworth and Elena Hight taking fourth through seventh.
Steven Lopez earned a spot on the U.S. Senior National Team for the 20th consecutive year by taking the welterweight class at the National Team Trials, which were held Saturday and Sunday in Colorado Springs. The 16 winners, including six Olympians, earned the right to represent the United States at the World Championships in Puebla, Mexico, July 15-21.
Steven Lopez, a four-time Olympian and three-time Olympic medalist was joined by younger sister, Diana, and younger brother, Mark. Diana, a 2008 Olympic bronze medalist, and Mark, a 2008 Olympic silver medalist, won lightweight titles.
Terrence Jennings, the men's featherweight, and Paige McPherson, the women's welterweight, gave the team a pair of 2012 Olympic bronze medalists. Charlotte Craig, the women's flyweight, is another Olympian on the roster.
Katie Compton won her ninth straight elite women's national title Sunday at the USA Cycling Cyclo-Cross National Championships in Verona, Wis. Jonathan Page won the elite men's title. Kaitlin Antonneau was ninth overall while repeating as Under-23 women's champion. Kerry Werner of Lees-McRae College won the Division I men's title. Saturday's winners included Logan Owen taking the Junior Men's (17-18) championship for his eighth consecutive national title. Yannick Eckmann won the Under-23 men, and Antonneau, from Marian University, won the Division I women's championship.
U.S. teams skipped by Heath McCormick and Allison Pottinger helped Team North America defeat Team World at the World Financial Group Continental Cup that ended Sunday night in Penticton, Canada.
Tim Burke finished 19th Sunday in the 15k mass start at the IBU World Cup event in Rupholding, Germany. Burke, who missed relay competition Thursday because of an illness, ranks 13th in the overall World Cup standings. "After not training so much the past week and fighting sickness, I was a little nervous about how I would feel," Burke said. "Considering everything, I am pretty happy with the race." Annelies Cook had a career-best 26th-place finish Friday in the 7.5k sprint. Lowell Bailey was 26th to lead the U.S. men in the 10k sprint Saturday.
The Lexettes from Lexington, Mass. and the Skyliners from New York were chosen to represent the United States at the World Junior Synchronized Championships March 8-9 in Helsinki, Finland. The Lexettes finished first in the World Junior Team Selection Competition, which concluded Sunday in Fraser, Mich.
Californians Daniel Gonzalez (106), Evan Sanchez (110), Brandon Trejo (138), Javier Estrada (145), Alexis Rocha (154), Eric Murguia (165) and Suray Mahmutovic (176) won when the U.S. team was determined for the AIBA Junior Men's World Championships.

If you develop a listeria infection, you may experience:
Symptoms may begin a few days after you've eaten contaminated food, but it may take as long as two months before the first signs and symptoms of infection begin.
If the listeria infection spreads to your nervous system, signs and symptoms may include:
During pregnancy, a listeria infection is likely to cause only mild signs and symptoms in the mother. The consequences for the baby, however, may be devastating. The baby may die unexpectedly before birth or experience a life-threatening infection within the first few days after birth.
As in adults, the signs and symptoms of a listeria infection in a newborn can be subtle, but may include:
If you've eaten a food that's been recalled because of a listeria outbreak, pay close attention to any possible signs or symptoms of illness. If you experience fever, muscle aches, nausea or diarrhea, contact your doctor. The same goes for illness after eating a potentially contaminated product, such as foods made with unpasteurized milk or poorly heated hot dogs or deli meats.
If you experience a high fever, severe headache, stiff neck, confusion or sensitivity to light, seek emergency care. These signs and symptoms may indicate bacterial meningitis, a life-threatening complication of a listeria infection.

Bassists! Know your place! Your job is to hold down the groove, to keep the rhythm going, to thicken up the low end. The bass guitar is not a lead instrument…
That said, why should guitarists and keyboard players have all the fun? Sure, the humble bass guitar isn't exactly renowned as a soloing instrument but that just makes it all the more impressive when the masters manage to pull off some blistering, gut-busting riffage.
So let's flick through some videos of 10 of MusicRadar's favourites. Thumbs at the ready people…
First up: Les Claypool
Les Claypool (Primus) - Tommy The Cat
Primus bassist Les Claypool auditioned to join Metallica following the death of Cliff Burton, but was supposedly rejected for being too good.
The bassline to Primus' 1991 hit Tommy The Cat is pretty much one long bass solo, but with an extra proper solo thrown in towards the end just for good measure. Basstastic.
Nick Oliveri (Queens Of The Stone Age) - No One Knows
A solo that certainly doesn't overstay its welcome, this one only just makes it into the realm of being a solo rather than just a quick refrain.
Either way, Nick Oliveri's killer bass work on this monster Queens Of The Stone Age hit certainly deserves a place in our list. When Oliveri starts working his way up the fretboard for that mid section, and starts duelling with Josh Homme's lead guitar, it's almost impossible to resist the urge to rock out.
John Myung (Dream Theater) - The Dance Of Eternity
When we asked you lot to vote for the greatest bass player of all time, Dream Theater's John Myung emerged as a clear winner. So obviously you don't need us to tell you about his technical proficiency.
His bass solo in The Dance Of Eternity, from the band's 1999 concept album Metropolis Pt.2, is often heralded as one of the musical highlights of his career by Dream Theater fans.
Squarepusher - Solo Electric Bass 1
Squarepusher, aka Tom Jenkinson, is best known for his releases on Warp Records as an electronic musician. He is also, however, more than handy with a bass guitar.
Solo Electric Bass 1 is more than just a bass solo - it's an entire album of nothing but bass solo. At 40 minutes in length the record, which was recorded live in Paris in 2007, is maybe a bit much (there's only a certain amount of bass anyone can take!) But there's no denying it proves that Jenkinson is a master of the instrument.
Check out the video above, taken from an interview for The Culture Show around the time of the album's release. Not only does it feature Jenkinson showing off his skills (skip to 5 minutes in) but he gets shout outs from Thom Yorke and Andre 3000 - and that's undeniably cool.
Cliff Burton (Metallica) - Anesthesia (Pulling Teeth)
Before his tragic death in a tour bus crash in 1986 Cliff Burton was heralded as a pioneer of heavy metal bass playing.
Burton's distinctive style of 'lead' bass parts helped to define Metallica's sound across their first three albums, making them the critical and commercial success they are today. This bass instrumental from the band's debut record, Kill 'Em All, is certainly one of his finest moments.
Charles Mingus
It would be impossible to talk about great bass playing without mentioning at least one of the great jazz players.
Charles Mingus was an undeniable master of the upright bass, a real pioneer in terms of playing style and double bass technique. He earned himself the nickname 'the angry man of jazz' due to his refusal to compromise his musical integrity, just check out the bass solo above for an idea of how great a player Mingus really was.
Geddy Lee (Rush) - YYZ
We could celebrate great bass solos without having something from Geddy Lee included. For one thing, a good number of the other bassist that have made our list have cited his playing as an inspiration at some point.
He's popular with you lot too, voting him into second in our greatest bassist poll. And on the evidence of Rush classic YYZ, it's easy to see why.
Matt Freeman (Rancid) - Maxwell Murder
Rancid bassist Matt Freeman plays in his own distinctive style that sets him apart from the rest of the bass players on our list.
Rather than playing slap or fingered style bass like many iconic bass players, Freeman is know for his ultra-fast playing using a heavy pick while working his way around a scale.
This solo, from Rancid's 1995 album …And Out Come The Wolves is always a highlight of the band's live sets, and really shows off Freeman's bass prowess.
Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers) - All Around The World
There's no shortage of impressive bass work in the Red Hot Chili Pepper's back catalogue. It would be difficult to deny that Flea is one of the most charismatic, inspirational and talented bass players in the world today.
A personal favourite of ours, however, has to be the short, sharp blistering bass assault that opens the band's 1999 album Californication. Lovely stuff.
John Entwistle (The Who) - My Generation
A real classic bass guitar moment. Not only does John Entwistle's bass solo in My Generation show off some impressive fret work, but it's a great piece of songwriting too.
The call and response of Entwistle's bass licks and Pete Townshend's guitar perfectly mirrors the back and forth of the song's vocal hook. Plus, it's a great excuse for us to post this infamous, classic video in which Keith Moon's overdid the pyrotechnics in his bass drum making for an *ahem* explosive ending to this TV performance.
So that's our list, what do you think of our choices? Anything you think we've missed out? Let us know by commenting below, or via Facebook or Twitter.

Pioneers take finale from Zias
March 19, 2011
DENTON, Texas — Freshman first baseman Kaylyn Vranich drove in four runs with a pair of doubles and sophomore Kayla Williams came within an out of an abbreviated no-hitter on Saturday as Texas Woman's thumped Eastern New Mexico University 11-3 to take the rubber match of the three-game Lone Star Conference South Division softball series.
TWU (14-10, 3-3 South) led 9-0 with two outs and no one on in the top of the fifth when ENMU junior left fielder Devin Higgins beat out a bunt single. Junior Emily Livingston added another single before pinch-hitter Danielle Mendoza reached on a throwing error by TWU second baseman Tori Gomez, allowing Higgins to score.
Junior Melanie Alderette then beat out an RBI single to second base, and Gomez threw that ball away to allow Mendoza to score.
The Pioneers ended the game on the eight-run rule against reliever Amada Lale in the bottom of the fifth, loading the bases after two were out on two walks and Lale's error before Vranich knocked in two runs with a double to right-center.
Williams walked Alderette to start the game. She stole second and third, but Williams escaped by getting Tessa Fioritti on a groundout and Taylor Howard on a fly ball double play to left, with Alderette caught too far off third.
After Alderette's leadoff walk, Williams retired 13 of the next 14 hitters before Higgins' bunt hit.
ENMU junior Erin Roufosse (4-14) allowed eight hits and nine runs (seven earned) over 3 1/3 innings.
