"How Do You Sleep" and the fact that he kidnapped Kyoto prove your point as well. But I would say they just show how many sides John's charakter had.

It's that easy, and there's no risk of paying for tickets that you aren't going to use. High school-age groups (grades 9-12) may not sell tickets as a fundraiser due to NCAA rules and regulations.

Skip to comments.Eating mangoes may help lower blood sugar and cancer risk
Posted on 04/28/2013 10:11:50 PM PDT by Jyotishi
Washington, DC - These findings are the result of a single study and more research is needed on the effects of mango consumption on human health.
Consumption of mangoes may potentially have a positive effect on blood sugar in obese individuals and help to limit inflammation, according to a new research.
The study led by Edralin Lucas, Ph.D., associate professor of nutritional sciences at Oklahoma State University, examined the effects of daily mango consumption on clinical parameters and body composition in obese subjects (body mass index, BMI = 30kg/m2).
Twenty adults (11 males and 9 females) participated in the study, which included daily dietary supplementation with 10 grams of freeze dried mango (equivalent to approximately 100 grams of fresh mango, according to Dr. Lucas) for 12 weeks.
Blood sugar levels at the conclusion of the study were significantly lower than the baseline in both male and female subjects. There were no significant changes in body composition for either gender, and BMI increased significantly in female subjects but not male subjects compared to baseline.
These findings are the result of a single study and more research is needed on the effects of mango consumption on human health.
"The results of this study support what we learned in our recent animal model, which found that mango improved blood glucose in mice fed a high fat diet," said Dr. Lucas.
"Although the mechanism by which mango exerts its effects warrants further investigation, we do know that mangeos contain a complex mixture of polyphenolic compounds. Research has shown that several other plants and their polyphenolic compounds, such as isoflavone from soy , epigallocatechin gallate from green tea , and proanthocyanidin from grape seed , have a positive effect on adipose tissue," the researcher stated.
Another research led by Susanne Mertens-Talcott, Ph.D., Assistant Professor and Director for Research, Institute for Obesity Research and Program Evaluation of Texas A n M University, examined the effects of polyphenols found in fresh mangos on cancerous and non-cancerous breast cells.
This study suggested that mango polyphenols might limit inflammatory response in both cancerous and non-cancerous breast cells.
Because this was an in vitro study, more research is needed to determine whether mango polyphenols can have the same effect in humans.
The research was presented this week at the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) in Boston.
I just returned from my town market where I bought a mango
along with a few apples, oranges and bananas.
Life in Dalaguete, the vegetable capital of Cebu, is pretty nice.
I go by bicycle each day to buy meats, fruits, and vegges...all locally raised or grown.
I've been eating dried mango pretty much daily for the last 8 years or so, and I think it really helps with acid reflux too.
I love them. They taste better than peaches.
Mangoes come in many varieties. Growing up in India, there was a strain of Mangoes grown in Ratnagiri area. They were called "Hapoos" at my house. I have found extremely difficult to buy those in US. They had unbelievable great flavor and aroma. The only place I found them was in a food stand in Chicago probably run by an Indian proprietor. Even the lower grade "juice" mangoes had a potent aroma and taste. The mangoes I buy in grocery stores in Seattle are so blah.
Personally, I love mangoes. And I wish this were true. But sample size 20? Worthless.
If you are a poor negroid raced child in Haiti who subsists a big chunk of your subsistence on mangoes it will dye your mouth ring on the face orangish....like a bad cartoon
Temporary or not
I used to see that a lot there.... pitiful how children suffer
I'm less accustomed to it today...I got more hardened back then
In JA I liked the big plump Bombay strain
In Myamuh they were a scourge.... dropping everywhere staining the drive
I like them raw...or on salad
Or in chutney
Or ice cream
I wish more people noted the sample size here. I am so so on mangoes... I remember the kids at the train station in Guatemala trying to knock mangos out of the trees... the first time I had mango was down there or in southern Mexico... unripe with salt.
I live in the Midwest so I know the ones I buy have traveled a long way and probably have lost some of the flavor. I have found frozen mangoes but they of course aren't as good. I had no idea there were so many kinds.
Hmm. Almost a staple here in Thailand - many people have mango trees in their front yards, but diabetes is rampant here also.
I wonder if the seeds are available to grow the type you like?
[[This study suggested that mango polyphenols might limit inflammatory response in both cancerous and non-cancerous breast cells]]
Wonder if this might also be good for other diseases which are caused by inflamatory responses like arthritis, Crohn's, etc- where the body attacks itself
Hmm, no luck on getting their shipping rates. Makes me suspicious. Someone on Amazon said you can probably get them cheaper at an Indian store (and no shipping charge). So I'll try that. Sorry for the bother!
They also have Cherimoyas. They are supposed to be delicious, but I've never had one.
If so, I'll live forever.
"The mangoes ate my baby!"
Interesting. I guess that American supermarket blahness has happened to all fruits.
I'm thinking about trying my hand at growing Paw Paw trees which are believed to have similar anti cancer properties.
I wish you good luck with paw paws. They grow wild on my mom's small spread in Indiana. I had one when I was a kid in the late 70s cut right from a tree while walking a cow path. It was the size of a baked potato and tasted like a mild banana. I don't think they are all that commercially viable but for personal consumption from your privately owned woodland, they are a real treat.
From what studying I've done they appear to be fairly tricky to grow until they become established. They are in the Mango family.
As best I can tell, the mostly grow in the shade of other larger timber. If you have a decidiouos timber stand, you may be able to get them to grow there.
Interesting. They don't grow where I live and I don't know that I've encountered them, but I love fruit trees and had a small orchard of them once.
We got some nice ones here in Dumaguete. But be careful during the winter, they look sweet but some times are not.
3 of the McCoy clan were executed in a Paw Paw grove. I believe history records it as "The Paw Paw tree incident"
Ha—I had just seen on wikipedia that their range seemed to be hillbilly country.
I'm at the northern edge of their range but they were once common enough that Michigan has a town named after them.
I think it moved.
I(and my wife) LOVES Mangos BUT what is the BEST way to peel them?
This is slightly off subject, but I thank you for bringing up PawPaw's. I'm almost 72 and sick with a terminal lung disease. I spend a lot of time on memories. When I was a very small child my mother would sing me to sleep with a song about down in the PawPaw patch. I never knew what a PawPaw was until today. THANK YOU!
You might want to look into Paw Paws or Paw Paw extract.It probably won't save your life but just might add a little quality time to what you have left.
I'll also be sure to say a prayer for you.
But, I certainly would see where eating four ounces of dried fruit (that's a heck of a lot!) per day would improve your health. Plenty of fiber, vitamins, and it would fill you up so that you're not eating Big Macs.
Sez me, if you want to eat mangoes, eat mangoes.
Compared to Philippine mango, the mangos imported to America are flavorless
I have had good luck with growing Paw Paws. I have two by the side of my deck that are about 4-5 inches in diameter and grew from seeds 15 years ago. They make a nice tropical looking screen and produce lots of Paw Paws...I end up giving or throwing them away after eating my fill. I have a wooded area in back where I throw them and it's turned into a Paw Paw patch.
I think the secret is to get them started from seed where you want them to grow as they are near impossible to dig up with an intact tap root. I've tried digging up young ones that were a year old and about a foot high and the tap root was well over a foot long. Transplants may survive but they never seem to grow to any size or produce much fruit.
My experience is that the seeds seem to take a couple of years before I notice them. Maybe the first yeat is spent growing the tap root to China.
Afternoon shade is what they like, and they are very susceptible to frost when they bloom in early spring. I think proximity to the house protects mine with a microclimate and avoids frost damage.
Originally there were three along side my deck and I tried to move one years ago. It lived, but the trunk is not the diameter of my thumb and is about 5 feet tall. The other two are probably 20 feet high and have been pruned back twice.
so who ate the last mango in paris?
That sounds fantastic. Love fruit. I think I could live on it. That is, if a really good selection of it was available all the time, not just the stuff you see in most supermarkets. And chili. Gotta have my chili. :-)
Those are right ones! Prices seem high though. Try finding a large fruit stand run by Indians. The season for this fruit is short and my recall is month of May is the season.
In the worst case, visit a grocery store catering to Indians. They will stock canned mango pulp from Alphonso mangoes. It is not fresh mangoes, and usually has sugar added but taste is good. The mango pulp is quite thick, not runny. I like to pour a teaspoon of melted butter on the pulp in a small bowl.
Hold the mango with the stem pointing up. There is a large-flat pit inside at center of fruit, so you want to cut vertically as close to the pit as possible on both sides. That will yield the largest piece in the shape of a bowl.
Then cut each in two yielding total of 4 pieces which can be eaten with a spoon. The remaining fruit should also be cut along the pit and will yield smaller pieces. Finally use your teeth to scrape off any pulp remaining on the pit.
I think the climate where mangoes are grown makes a huge difference. Like hot house tomatoes are never as good as backyard tomatoes.
I am in my 70's and my lifetime experience says exercise 4 times a week for 30 minutes is superior to any diet or meds. It will keep your blood sugar levels, avoid joint pains in knees and hips, help a great deal with blood pressure levels, and greatly improve energy level.
That reminds me, I have to go do my treadmill now!!!
> They were called Hapoos at my house. I have found extremely difficult to buy those in US....
They are available online, as are the Alphonso variety.
> Life in Dalaguete, the vegetable capital of Cebu . . .
If you enjoy the Philippine cuisine there then you probably know that bitter melon (fruit and leaves) also keeps the blood sugar low.
> But sample size 20? Worthless
A campaign for funding the research, perhaps.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (40 votes).
In short: Excellent views, no hassles, challenging course.In full: As my local race I feel protective of it but it stands up on its own. Plenty of parking, plenty of toilets, plenty of loud speaker announcements making sure we are all in the right place, plenty of cheers at the start and then plenty of hills, plenty of freebies and bananas at the end!! This year I was beaten by two smurfs, darth vader and a storm trooper!! Date of review: October 15, 2012
In short: Challenging course. Very well organised and supported raceIn full: As one previous reviewer said, don't underestimate the hills. Scenic and challenging route. Well supported and very well organised. Date of review: October 15, 2012
In short: Beautiful scenery, friendly crowds, great organisation, thanksDate of review: October 15, 2012
In short: Don't underestimate the hills!Date of review: October 15, 2012
In short: Btilliant organisation, tough course, a great day outIn full: Ample car parking close to start/finish, plenty of toilets, and a long / wide start area with timed zones at 15 minute intervals. No bottlenecks at any point on the course and enthusiastic, if patchy, support. Glorious route especially on such a fabulous day, but be warned it is tough and the hills just keep coming. The finish was a calm, organised affair and I think Swindon have got their numbers just right - not too big but caters for all abilities. I'll be back!!Date of review: October 15, 2012
In short: Brilliant just BrilliantIn full: wasn't expecting to get a PB but just did after a week of sneezing, coughing and feeling like s**t I managed not just beating last years time but beating my personal best for the distance even faster than Bristol 2 weeks ago which was a flatter course than this one. Feeling overwhelmed with joy. Date of review: October 15, 2012
In short: "Scenic and Undulating'In full: Great race - very well organised and marshalled (and thanks for organising the superb weather!). Support from the locals was also excellent.Date of review: October 14, 2012
In short: Wonderful race - except maybe for those hillsIn full: I've done this race 3 times now and every time am caught out by how hard it actually is. Many uphills and quite a steep downhill which is torture after all the ups! Also a long up around mile 12 which is just cruel. :) Having said all that, you always get a decent goody bag and t-shirt. This is the one race I've ever done that has enough toilets at the start, and plenty around the course. Strong support from villages and really nice marshals. Many offers of jelly babies along the way.This course is much harder than any other HM I have done. I was disappointed with my time today, caused by my own foolishness of overdrinking and then getting stitches/cramps and having to walk repeatedly. I could have got away with less walking on a flatter course.The scenery is beautiful, can't think of any ugly bits on the course. That combined with the good organisation would make me come back - but I might try just marshalling next year! Date of review: October 14, 2012
In short: Great organisation and an interesting and tough routeDate of review: August 28, 2012
In short: Excellently organised againIn full: Swindon is not only famous for the magic roundabout but one of the best half marathons aroundDate of review: October 20, 2011

Notebook: Schoenfeld Stock Rising
The Columbus Dispatch - June 04, 2013 04:47 PM
A run of healthy play has helped Aaron Schoenfeld fight his way onto the field for the Crew.
When the lanky forward came on as a late-game substitute May 18 at Toronto, it marked his first MLS action since July 8, 2012. With injuries and national-team call-ups affecting the Crew's attacking players, Schoenfeld has managed to nab moments that were going to first-round draft pick Ryan Finley earlier this season.
"He was quicker, he was working hard," Warzycha said when asked about Schoenfeld playing ahead of Finley. "I think he got fit and he was doing better than the other guys."
Finley was taken with the ninth overall pick in this year's SuperDraft after scoring 56 goals in four seasons split between Duke and Notre Dame. Schoenfeld was a second-round supplemental pick (20th overall) for Montreal in 2012 and acquired by the Crew for a 2013 pick. That wound up being a third-round supplemental pick the Impact used to take Juan Arbelaez with the 47th selection. Arbelaez did not make the club and is playing for the Richmond Kickers of the USL Pro division.
Although Schoenfeld earned a roster spot with the Crew and saw action in nine games including three starts last season, he was held back with a right plantar fascia rupture. When he returned, Jairo Arrieta had largely solidified the Crew's forward position.
Another foot injury kept him idle for a few weeks this preseason.
"I feel like that maybe held me back this year, especially in preseason when guys are fighting for spots," he said. "I wasn't really able to be out there for 2-3 weeks. I just want to stay healthy right now and keep working on game fitness. I don't think I'm 100 percent game-fit yet but I think I'm working towards that."
That much was evident when Schoenfeld came on in relief of an injured Dominic Oduro in the eighth minute of a 2-2 road draw May 26 with New York. Schoenfeld was then subbed off for Ben Speas after 54 minute.
"All day you try to mentally prepare for your role," Schoenfeld said. "On the bench, it's usually last-30-minute sub so you go through all your mental preparations and envisioning everything, but I was not expecting a second-minute injury and I was not expecting to go in in the ninth minute. In my head I was just trying to be ready. I knew we were playing one of the best teams in the league with world-class talent and one of the best defenders in (Jamison) Olave. I was just trying to play simple, connect the passes early on and get some confidence."
Warzycha likes the different set of skills the 6-foot-4 Schoenfeld brings.
"He has ankle injuries and he was always nursing something," the coach said. "He never performed as well as he wanted to because there was always something that stopped him from performing. It was the same at the beginning of the year. He had an ankle injury and this time he's fit and he's ready to go and he works hard. That was my choice to play him."
He has now seen action in three straight games.
Oduro starter
With Arrieta away for national-team duty, Oduro will likely move up top for Wednesday's match against Philadelphia with Schoenfeld on the bench.
He's not complaining.
"It's my job to help my team win and make it hard for the coaches to keep me out," he said. "It's a challenge for me to prove to the coaches that I think I deserve to be on the top more than on the wing, which again I don't mind. But I think I'm more comfortable up top because I have fewer people to beat. All I need is a great ball from (Higuain) or anyone else and I'm right behind the defense trying to put the ball in the net. I'm excited for it.
"Hopefully I'll go out there, help my team to win and hopefully put in one or two goals and make a statement for the coaches to make a decision the next time Jairo comes back. I'm excited to have this opportunity again."
Justin Meram and Ben Speas are likely to be the Crew's starting outside midfielders, although Warzycha would not commit to that following a light training session Monday.
"We may see (Meram and Speas) on the field together," he said. "We may see Schoenfeld or we may see Ryan Finley on the field and keep Dominic on the right side. He's playing well over there. We have to make that decision."

Where do I even begin?! WOW! This was definitely a wedding for the books, for so many reasons. Monika and Steve were one of the couples that you look at and you can honestly and truly feel the love that is shared between them. Monika has such a warm and loving spirit to her and you can feel that she has a desire to live life to it's absolute fullest, love as much as she possibly can and most of all you can tell that she has a desire to never stop growing in herself or her relationships. Throughout the process of the wedding planning, we never talked about these things, but you just knew they were there, it was a feeling of sincerity and that she had such a deep and loving heart. When she would see you, she would Thank You and tell you how happy she was that you were there in this experience with her, and you could TELL she truly truly meant it because she followed it up with the warmest hug! Monika has truly inspired me as a person and I am grateful for that. Congratulations to Monika and Steve, you have a BEAUTIFUL life ahead of you!
The boutonnieres were made of wintery white ranunculus and Brunia Berries wrapped in a textured ivory ribbon with gray velvet accents.
How gorgeous is this custom ribbon that Monika had made?! Each Bridesmaid had a different line from 1 Corinthians that we hand tied around their bouquets of white anemones, garden roses, ranunculus and of course that beautiful and wintery dusty miller.
Monika's Bouquet was made of a feminine and wintery mix of garden roses, ranunculus, white anemones, brunia berries, and dusty miller that we hand tied in a beautifully pleated ribbon wrap and her custom linen ribbon that read "I Z Wed 12.31.12" The Z is for her Husbands last name Zeldin…so sweet!!
The Ceremony was only lit by Bistro lights and candlelit which made for the warmest kind of light. It was gorgeous. Stunning. In the center of the U-shaped Ceremony was the softly lit Chuppah that was very simple decorated with branches, hanging candles and simple blooms. This just might be one of my favorites!
The centerpieces were a wonderfully eclectic mix of vintage metals, mercury glass, and vintage crystal vessels. Some were filled with wintery white blooms with deep purple accents and some were filled with hand dipped gold dusted fruits…AMAZE! In between the arrangements there were pockets of driftwood with tufts of wintery white flowers and vintage gold votives nestled in.
Behind the Bride and the Groom, Lindsay from LVL Weddings and Events placed the Found Vintage mantle piece that we adorned with driftwood arrangements and candlelight.
This New Years Eve Wedding was just plain AMAZING! We are so grateful to have been a part of all of it and what a way to cap off a wonderful year for our business! May this set the tone for the year to come! Congratulations to Steve and Monika and a HUGE Thank you to the most amazing planner Lindsay Longacre of LVL Events and Christine Bentley who got these images out SUPER fast and all of the other awesome vendors who made this event what it was. Happy New Year Everyone!

NVIDIA was late to the DirectX 11 party, but can their first DX11 graphics card below the $200 price point bring them back to the top? This is the sweet spot for the graphics card industry as most gamers are willing to pay $199 for a gaming graphics card that is able to play the latest game titles. Read on to see how the GeForce GTX 460 768MB and 1GB video cards perform!
"After using both the GeForce GTX 460 768MB and GeForce GTX 460 1GB the GeForce GTX 460 1GB is clearly the way to go for gamers. With most gamers running 1920x1080 or 1920x1200 resolutions the extra memory and increased bus speed is well worth the extra $30 MSRP. The GeForce GTX 460 1GB is also faster, cooler and less power hungry than the GeForce GTX 465 in our testing. This makes it the card of choice for anyone looking for an NVIDIA card under $300. After looking back at the benchmark performance numbers, we wouldn't understand why anyone would want the GeForce GTX 465 over the GeForce GTX 460 from the gaming perspective..."

Students play in MSBOA District 9 All-Star Band
Eighteen instrumental music students from Alpena Public Schools performed last weekend with the 2013 MSBOA District IX Junior Honors Band in Houghton Lake.
District IX includes approximately 23 school districts within a region spread between Pinconning and Alpena, including local areas such as Atlanta, Hillman and Alcona. Students are chosen for participation via audition, with selection made by the directors of MSBOA District IX.
The Honors Band weekend consisted of rehearsals on Friday evening and Saturday morning, with a Saturday afternoon concert.
The students representing Alpena this year in the Honors Band program were: Angela Salacata, first flute; Hannah Suszek, third alto saxophone; Karisa Meier, second flute; Zoe Stier, third flute; Madison Parr, sixth flute;Priya Pokorzynski, first trumpet; Shivani Akula. seventh flute; Carsen Estep, third trumpet; Bailee Thomas, first clarinet; Kaitlyn Schultz, fourth clarinet; Austin Webb, first tuba; Jane Schmanski, sixth clarinet; Jonathan Prevo, seventh clarinet; Lillian Broad, first percussion; Kaitlyn Noiles, first trombone; Alayna Nugent, second trombone; Camren DeCaire, fifth trombone; and Aaron Diamond, sixth trombone. TBJH Director Ray Reynolds expressed pride in his students who performed in this elite ensemble.
"The opportunity for students to participate in activities such as this provides for increased playing opportunities for our Alpena students and can only serve to help and enhance the primary program to allow for a well-rounded experience," Reynolds said.

Tradition With A Twist
When working with a client, the first step is to understand who will be using the space and what it will be used for. This project was for a couple transitioning from a family home with children to an adult home with grown children. The design statement was "Tradition with a Twist." By using classic pieces along with more transitional elements such as a contemporary gray houndstooth ottoman alongside a Queen Anne desk, the owner's office reflects her love of tradition with an updated flair. While many living rooms are formal and unused, this space is a living part of the home where everyone plays the piano and two or three ukuleles are usually lying where the musician left them to answer the phone. The lady of the house is a self-proclaimed "Princess of Pattern" who was not shy to make a statement with this bold Ralph Lauren striped sofa. The apartment-sized sofa seats three comfortably with a down wrapped cushion for comfort and style. When looking for a small accent table, one look out into the garden netted the perfect thing-a jade green garden stool!

Long standing partnerships with our team of quality growers have yielded World Class results. The Paso Robles appellation encompasses more than 600,000 acres and is the largest stand alone AVA in California. Numerous distinctions exist within the overall appellation and to highlight those differences, eleven "sub-appellations" were proposed in 2007. Each of the vineyards and growers that we work with are unique, together we are the foundation for JUSTIN Vineyards & Winery.

BIO - Life
MIMETIC - To Imitate
BIOMIMETICS - The term given to the study of nature, its systems, processes and the method of using these observations to imitate or inspire engineering principles. So what does Biomimetics have to do with racquets? It's simple. Dunlop's new Biomimetic line of racquets is inspired by nature. Yes, nature. The Biomimetic racquet technologies include Aeroskin (a sharkskin type surface on the frame for better aerodynamics), HM6 Carbon (a honeycomb structure in certain parts of the frame for enhanced feel while maximizing energy return) and Gecko Tac (a surface treatment on the grip that offers up to 50% more grip and tack, according to Dunlop). With help from ball striking phenom, Nikolay Davydenko, Dunlop has added Biomimetic technology to its 200 series of racquets, creating the Biomimetic 200 Plus. With its 100 square inch headsize and 11.5 ounce strung weight, it's not hard to imagine the appeal of this stick. Being Davydenko's racquet of choice doesn't hurt either. Would it 'wow' any of our testers like it had Davydenko? To find out, our crew took the Biomimetic 200 Plus out for a month-long playtest.
From the baseline, the Biomimetic 200 Plus provided a nice combination of power and control. Chris liked all this racquet had to offer on groundstrokes. He said, "I found this such an easy racquet to use from the baseline. The sweetspot felt huge, and the racquet just felt so forgiving. I liked the weight and balance. There was enough mass to help me hit effortlessly, yet the racquet felt fast and easy to maneuver. I was getting a lot of spin off both wings, which helped shots hook in even when I didn't catch them cleanly. I felt very confident driving the ball with this racquet, but my favorite shot was my backhand slice. I felt like I could put the ball anywhere I wanted with slice, and I was able to control the bite and spin at will."
Happy with the variety of shots she could hit was Brittany, who said, "Compared with my Prince EXO3 Black the Biomimetic 200 Plus felt a little heavy, so I was hitting a lot of balls short until I got used to the weight. Being an aggressive baseliner, what I enjoyed about this racquet was the variety of shots it allowed me to hit. I was able to hit flatter, harder forehands while creating angles with heavy spin off my backhand. I also felt confident hitting my slice."
Kana reaped the benefits of this stick when she was hitting in the sweetspot. She said, "The sweetspot is smaller and the power level is lower than I'm used to. When I was out of position it was difficult for me to whip the racquet around. I left myself too open when that happened, and I felt I needed to put my whole body into my shots if I wanted to stay aggressive. However, when I did make direct contact, it felt amazing. There's so much plow through that my shots were aggressively flat, deep and heavier than usual. I was much more comfortable with my backhand because it's easier to drive through the shot. As for slices on that side? Incredible! I could keep them low and skidding off the ground. On the forehand, going down the line was where I usually executed winners. I love hitting the flat winner, and it felt like the racquet was doing all the work when I got the right setup."
Pleased with his results from the baseline was Sean, who said, "Previous versions of the Dunlop 200 racquets didn't impress me nearly as much as this Biomimetic 200, especially on groundstrokes. I felt comfortable hitting off both wings, finding a fair amount of power. However, my backhand, being my weaker shot, would sometimes fail to land deep enough in the court. On the other hand, I felt right at home with my forehand, and this racquet made it especially easy to control both cross court and down the line shots. I was also happily surprised to find more than enough spin production from the denser string pattern."
Spencer enjoyed this racquet when hitting topspin, but had a tougher time dialing in crispness on slices. He said, "I found the Biomimetic 200 Plus to offer plenty of control and spin from the baseline. For an 18x20 string pattern, I was able to find a good amount of topspin. I liked the pocketing and comfort from both wings when coming over the top. I took full cuts at the ball and felt confident they would stay inside the baseline. If there were any adjustments needed from my usual racquet, it was on the backhand slice. I had a difficult time keeping my slices crisp and sharp. They had a tendency to float a bit. It usually wasn't in a bad way, because I could get them deep enough in the court, but I just couldn't get them to skid and stay low on a consistent basis."
Though the maneuverability wasn't hailed by all testers, one thing they universally agreed on was the stability of the Biomimetic 200 Plus when volleying. Dazzled with the stable feel at net was Brittany. She said, "I was really impressed with the solid feel of this racquet when I came to net. I felt like the weight of the racquet allowed me to punch through my volleys and provided good feel for the touch shots."
Chris felt the combination of stability and maneuverability was spot on. He stated, "I found the same plush response at net as I did from the baseline. Again, I felt this racquet was more than forgiving enough to help me get the ball away even when my execution was lacking. The weight and balance were spot on for me, and I found that elusive blend of stability and maneuverability. It was just a very easy racquet to volley with and I felt very comfortable at net with it."
Enjoying the stable, solid feel at net was Sean. He said, "I didn't find myself at the net very often because I enjoyed hitting from the baseline so much, but as with all other shots with this racquet, volleys were incredibly solid feeling. I again found a lot of control with the denser pattern and was able to direct volleys with great accuracy. It wasn't the most maneuverable stick, but I thought that it more than made up for it with a forgiving sweetspot and power to boot."
Spencer enjoyed the forgiving traits this racquet had at net. He said, "I liked the head light balance and the overall weight. It resulted in a solid, maneuverable stick at net. The stringbed was also forgiving, providing good results on slightly off-center volleys. This racquet really offered nice punch for driving the ball, with good feel for the more delicate shots. The tight string pattern also seemed to help make volleys more precise."
Having some difficulty with maneuverability was Kana, who said, "Volleys were a little more difficult with this racquet. The maneuverability wasn't the best. On the forehand side I could punch the ball well, but I didn't feel like I had enough strength on my backhand side. On touch volleys I couldn't get a good grasp on the power. It was hit or miss at the net for me."
Most of the test squad found the Biomimetic 200 Plus offered a wide variety of options when serving. Sean found everything he could ask for in a racquet. He said, "Serves were where this racquet really shined for me. This racquet felt easy and fluid to swing, and I found I had access to a lot of power when I chose go after a first serve. Like on my groundstrokes, I was more than impressed with the spin I was able to tap into for slicing or kicking serves out wide. I was keeping my opponents off balance by using a variety of serves, including one of my favorites, the aggressive second serve. The control and placement that this racquet was able to offer on serves truly grabbed my attention."
Spencer was thrilled with the versatility of this stick when serving. He said, "I served pretty well with this racquet. From the first hitting session I seemed to be in tune with the racquet, feeling comfortable hitting any type of serve. I think it responded well to hard, flat serves, and I had good placement on my kick serves. This was a well rounded stick when it came to serves."
Agreeing with Spencer was Chris. He added, "I liked both the pace and spin I was finding on serves. I felt I was able to start off the point aggressively and get some quick points by drawing an error from my opponents. The mass of the racquet helped put some pop on my serves, and I felt comfortable with it for the duration of a long match. I was making a lot of first serves with this racquet, and I enjoyed the solid and consistent feel I found."
Brittany liked the control but found a drop in power from her own racquet. She said, "At first, I was having a hard time creating enough racquet head speed to hit my normal serve. However, after several hitting sessions, I found I was able to get good placement and spin on both my first and second serves. The tradeoff was that I felt I lost some power that I normally receive from other racquets."
Having good success when serving was Kana. She said, "This was where my game improved the most. My service stroke is a straight take back into the trophy position. Because the racquet was harder to maneuver, I didn't have much of an arm whip throughout the extension. I just added a little more wrist snap at the top, and my favorite flat serve became faster and harder. I was also really confident on second serves, enabling me to produce more of a kicker."
This racquet offered plenty of variety, including power and control, when pitted against opponents' serves. Kana found that the heft of this racquet allowed her to be more aggressive. She said, "It felt solid when it came to returns. With the Biomimetic 200 Plus, my returns felt more stable than with other racquets I've hit with. I'm used to lighter racquets, so I forget how much more aggressive I can be with a heavier racquet. The toughest serve for me to return is a high kick serve to my backhand. I usually catch it too late. With this racquet I was confident that I could hit a defensive return without sacrificing my position. On a high kicker to the forehand side, I could drive the racquet down into the shot, keeping it powerful and sending the ball deep into the court. When I took the serves on the rise, the racquet plowed through the ball and kept its stability throughout the shot."
This racquet helped make returns effective for Chris, too. He stated, "I found this racquet to be rock solid on returns. I was able to take a good rip at the ball and still find a ton of control. Even when I was off slightly, the racquet offered excellent resistance to flutter and stayed solid through the stroke. There was a lot of bite on the ball, which allowed me to carve an angle or hit deep, flirt with the baseline or try to steal the offensive."
Brittany was most successful with defensive returns, saying, "I could block my returns back well with this racquet and get good placement and consistency. Nonetheless, I had a little trouble with the maneuverability and was hitting the ball a bit late when I tried to swing through my return."
Finding his confidence in this racquet when returning was Spencer. He said, "Once again, the maneuverability and forgiveness of the 100 square inch headsize built confidence when returning serve."
Sean found many of his returns falling short. He stated, "Unfortunately I had some trouble adjusting to service returns with this frame. I've never been a huge fan of dense string patterns, although this racquet seemed to perform great in all the other areas. Almost every return I hit fell short of where I was attempting to aim unless I had time to really take a big cut at the ball. I was able to hit a few big winners, but for the most part, I was hard pressed to consistently return the ball deep in the court and begin the point aggressively."
Our playtesters found the Biomimetic 200 Plus to be a versatile racquet for a wide range of players. Groundstrokes rendered impressive results, and there was ample power with good control. The control provided by the tight string pattern allowed our testers to swing fast for lots of spin and pace. A high level of control was also present at net. Our playtesters noted a stable feel for driving volleys, with plenty of touch for placement volleys. Most of our team loved this racquet when serving because of the variety it allowed. There was plenty of power, and more controlled serves were easy to place. All in all, we found this racquet provided an abundance of shotmaking options from all areas of the court. That, along with the racquet's specs, makes this an excellent choice for intermediate players through to touring pros.
Chris "I loved this racquet when strung with a poly. It was a perfect fit for me and offered the right balance of power and control. I also found this racquet very spin friendly -- especially on my slice backhand."
Brittany "First, I really liked the control this stick offered. A bonus was the cosmetic of the racquet, which features bold colors and clean graphics."
Kana "The stability of the racquet allowed me to drive through the ball and create an effective, aggressive shot."
Sean "Great combination of power and accuracy on both serves and groundstrokes."
Spencer "The blend of characteristics worked so well from all areas of the court."
Chris "I didn't like this one when strung with a multifilament. A powerful string just made this racquet too lively for me."
Brittany "The heaviness of the racquet was a big issue for me."
Kana "The sweetspot felt relatively small."
Sean "A little underpowered due to the denser string pattern."
Spencer "For whatever reason, I couldn't dial in a sharp backhand slice; it tended to float and sit up."

Our Two Approaches
A Closer Look at the Open-Ended Approach
Create as many squares as possible using only 12 lines
Students played with that in groups for a day or so and we made some conclusions as a class. Then, I asked them to brainstorm as many questions as they could that they might be interested in pursuing based on the initial task. Here is what they came up with:
1. Can we create a rule/formula for the maximum number of squares based on the number of lines used?
2. How many triangles/rectangles/etc. can be created using only 12 lines?
3. Is there a difference between even and odd numbers of lines?
4. How many shapes can you create with 12 lines?
5. What would a graph of maximum number of squares vs. lines used look like? Linear? Exponential? Other?
6. What if by "lines" we meant "toothpicks" or "unit lines?"
I passed out some student work samples for participants to take a look at, with the prompt(s):
What do you notice?
What do you wonder about?
What evidence of the Common Core Practice Standards do you see in student work?
Looking for Rule/Formula (Question #1)
Lines as "toothpicks" (Question #6)
Even vs. Odd # Lines (Question #3)
How many triangles (Question #2)
I do think, however, that I am committed to continuing to try figure it out with my students. It is the closest I have come to truly freeing them to think for themselves, follow their own curiosities, make their own conclusions, and be honest with themselves about what is still left unanswered (versus trying to convince me that they know something that they think I want them to know). I mentioned in our workshop that our answers to some of the big questions (what is math? what is the purpose of math education? what is a project? what is the role of the teacher?) determine a lot of the small things we do in our class every day. I'm trying to let myself live in a state of constant re-evaluation with those questions. I think we need to in order to be fully present in the craft of teaching.

I took over a hundred pictures at this event. Here are a few of my favorites from Monday and Tuesday.
- The IBM Booth #1111 Moscone South
I spent most of my time at the booth in the exhibition area. It was a huge booth, covering various software offerings in the front, and servers and storage systems in the back. Here I am next to the "IBM Watson" simulator, allowing people to play Jeopardy! game against Watson.
In the front was "EoS" which stands for "Exchanging Opinions for Solutions" -- an interactive screen developed by Somnio that allows people to enter questions and opinions and get crowd-sourced answers from people following the Twitter stream. The EoS was connected to the [IBM Mobile App] so people could follow the conversation.
- IBM Customer Appreciation Events
On Monday evening we had some customer appreciation events. First was for IBM customers of "JD Edwards", which runs on "IBM i" operating system on POWER servers. This was an elegant affair at the [Weinstein Gallery] surrounded by works of art by Pablo Picasso and Marc Chagall. One customer expressed concern that Oracle would functionally stabilize JD Edwards "World" software and force everyone to move over to "Enterprise One". I told him that I had seen the roadmap for "World" and there are three healthy releases planned for its future. He should have nothing to worry about. IBM and Oracle will work together to make sure our mutual customers get the solutions they need.
Later, we went to the "Infusion" bar for another "IBM appreciation" event with a live band. Here's a Polaroid photo taken of me in the crowd.
- Titan Gala Award Reception
On Tuesday night, Oracle gave out awards in 29 categories. IBM won three this year. I took a photo with the ladies from Beach Blanket Babylon, and a mermaid! Joining me to celebrate the awards were IBMers Carolann Kohler, Boyd Fenton, Sue Haad, and Susan Adomovich.
This is my first time attending Oracle OpenWorld, so naively I asked why there were only 29 categories and not an even 30. The IBMers joked that the 30th might as well have been "Best Server/Storage Platform for Integer Math" which Larry Ellison conceded that IBM's POWER 795 server wins over Oracle's new SPARC T4 Supercluster. As Larry said during his keynote "We still have some work to do to beat IBM!"
The event was held at the San Francisco City Hall, I got to walk on the red carpet, with lavish food and drink. I was even given a hand-rolled cigar! Thank you Oracle! We are proud to be your "Diamond Partner" helping our mutual customers get the most out of our solutions.
- The "Booth Babes" Controversy
At the EMC booth, these three lovely ladies, Jennifer, Tamara and Manuela, were just a few of the dozen so-called booth babes EMC hired from a local agency. Attendees with technical questions were directed to the EMC guys in the back of the booth, behind the wall.
IBM stopped using "booth babes" a long while ago. At IBM Booth #1111, we had a healthy balance of real men and women executives, technical experts, and support staff at the IBM booth.
Other IT vendors are starting to follow suit. Back in 2009, fellow blogger Stephen Foskett wrote [(Don't) Make Your Startup Look Stupid With Booth Babes And Chotchkies!], Denise Dubie, from NetworkWorld, discussed the debate in her post [Booth babes don't wear glasses]. Wendy Shuchart weighs explains [Why the VMworld 2011 booth babes are bad for IT]. Matt Simmons takes this a step further, suggesting an "Eliminate Booth Babes" campaign in his post [Seriously, Stop with the Booth Babes].
A guy from EMC came over to our booth later to explain that EMC is at two other events this same week, and their technical staff is spread thin. EMC is a small company, and skilled technical people are in short supply. We get it. Not every IT vendor has an army of experts in every category like IBM.
I want to thank the IBM-Oracle Alliance team, especially Nancy Spurry and Carolann Kohler for having me involved in these events.

Jason Hwang Blogs from the World Poomsae Championships
(December 23)
I am finally back home after being delayed in Frankfurt, Germany for one day.
Before I go any further let's talk about the final day the DAY 3 competition.
My teammates and I in 1st Male Team division we finished the tournament being in top 15,
I assume the official rank would be between 13th~15th place.
The 2nd round cut was top 12, so it was a very close and bit of a disappointment.
However, I am glad to finish what we got b/c there was a last minute subsitution.
One of the newest teammates, Henry, had gotten very ill and sprained his ankle.
Things could not get worse for him, but he cheered us on w/ his positive spirit.
We received notification from the organization that we can make a subsitution.
Other division teammate Muhammad stepped in and we somehow meshed very well.
After about an hour practice it was our time to go. As for me this was a 2nd time on a big stage for poomsae and
3rd time to being on a big stage. I felt my adrenaline as we walked into our waiting area right next to the ring.
This was a different experience b/c there was big crowds next to our ringside. I could barely hear what
referee was commanding. Matt, Muhammad, and I performed Taeguk 6 & 7 back to back. We received
a solid score on 6th, but on 7th we didn't get the higher point to put us in top 12 cut.
I am proud of my teammates and especially Henry who wanted Muhammad to take his spot,
so that team USA can perform at its best.
It's been already 3-4 days since the competition ended. I wish now that I can do it all again.
All the new friends that I have made and learning new cultures from other team are priceless.
I think I have added 30 new friends to my online homepage.
There's a talk from WTF that they might continue to put on World Poomsae Championships every year,
instead of following sparring tournament format which are every two year. I cannot wait till the next one.
From this year's tournament my personal ranking of top 5 countries are
Korea, Iran, Spain, Turkey, and Germany. Vietnam finished overall 5th and only brought two competitors, whom
won medals in three divisions. Team USA has improved so much more technically than last year.
Enough said, here are some of my pictures.
Until next time when I will have honor to give you the inside look.
Happy Holidays Everyone.

(Wednesday, December 17, 2008)
I am in the hotel lobby after DAY 2 competition.
Here are brief summary of past two days of competition.
On the first day we did not medal, however, on second day
we captured our first medal from the 2nd Female Team division.
Also Mexico became the second nation from western hemisphere to medal together
with our team.
I will be competing on DAY 3 with my 1st Male Team teammates.
I cannot wait until we get on the stage and perform in front of the world.
There's great excitements at 3rd World Poomsae Championships that
during afternoon local elementry, jr. high, high school, and people of Ankara storms
the competition area. All of them cheering for Turkey, but the noise the fans bring
makes you feel like you are part of something special.
Here is little bit of how the World Poomsae competition is formatted.
There are a total of THREE Rounds.
First round is preliminary where you perform two of four Poomsaes (taeguek 6~8 and Koryo),
and the groups are cut into half from total teams (e.g. 30 team into 15 goes to next round).
Second round is semi-final where you perform two of four Poomsaes (Keumkang, Taebaek, PyongWon, ShipJin),
which are 2nd Dan through 5th Dan poomsaes. From here the top 8 teams will go to the final.
Third round is final where you perform remaining of two poomsaes. Then the World Champions are born.
The final scores of each rounds are projected by averaging two poomsae scores.
The total score is 10, at this year's competition anything around 8.30 or above gets you in the medal or even
Gold medal.
Scores are shown on TV and it shows the current standing of ranks. It is really exciting to see when
higher scores change the board of rankings.
Wish the rest of team USA luck who are competing on DAY 3.
There'll be lots of pictures soon.
I want to say hello to my family, love, friends, and
my students from K.T.I. taekwondo rancho cucamonga, CA.
(Sunday, December 14, 2008 )
Hello everyone. I am Jason Hwang, member of U.S. National Poomsae Team.
I am here in Ankara, Turkey, for the past two days. I finally found Internet to check my email and news to all.
All the teammates are here and we have already gotten two practices. We are getting used to the time difference and the weather difference.
Tomorrow there will be drawings for which poomsaes each divisions will do for their first round.
On my next blog I will write more information about details about the champiionships.

Boeing, Honeywell Team Up for In-Flight Connectivity Research
Honeywell and Boeing announced a new technical services agreement Wednesday to research and develop high-speed in-flight wireless connectivity. Under the agreement, the two companies will develop technologies for Boeing aircraft, including the 787, 777, 737 Next-Generation and 747-8.
The joint research team will test and develop hardware, software and potential services that will use GX Ka-band satellites, powered by Inmarsat's GX Aviation constellation.
The agreement was formed to address demand from commercial airline passengers for faster and more reliable in-flight connectivity on personal wireless devices.
"Boeing is working with Honeywell to develop and ultimately apply Ka technology on Boeing platforms as an offering which can be selected and brought to market by our airline customers worldwide," said Dan Murray, chief engineer of electronic systems at Boeing.
Jack Jacobs, vice president of safety and information management at Honeywell Aviation, recently discussed the latest trends in passenger demand for in-flight connectivity at the Satellite 2013 conference last month.
The first Inmarsat GX Ka-band satellite, currently being built by Boeing, is scheduled to launch later this year. Honeywell and Inmarsat are currently on track toward making the global service available to airline customers in 2015.

Well, I did not mean it as an offence. BOTR1, I'm sorry if you took it as an offence - I was merely commenting that the 18th century aristocratic style politeness (for want of a better analogy) that you demonstrated, was not normal for this forum. We ARE polite, of course, but we joke around more, you know?
The difference between genius and insanity is merely the difference between success and failure.

Best steps moving forward
Journalist Guy Taylor of the very conservative Washington Times newspaper has been appearing on PBS's the McLaughlin Group as a panelist. On the Oct. 27, 2013 program when asked for his final opinion – as all the panelists are asked at the end of the show, he stated: "let's start concentrating on the positives of the economy and quit being so negative; the economy is stabilized and we have moved away from the abyss."
Finally, some common sense positive conservatism.
I could not agree more with Taylor's assessment. If it was not for the government stepping in and helping General Motors and AIG, which are now very profitable, the repercussions of both companies being liquidated would have led to another Great Depression. Quite frankly, you are talking about complete dog-eat-dog anarchy. It is not something I think society wishes to experience.
Allan Mulally, CEO of the Ford Motor Company, and someone I consider to be a true American hero, was interviewed by Neil Cavuto on Fox News discussing how Ford revitalized itself without government assistance.
He was asked his opinion of the government assisting some companies (GM). He replied, to Cavuto's astonishment: "I believe in a cooperating effort between both corporations and government." In other words he believed in the government helping GM.
Things are far from where they need to be and I get as frustrated as anyone with government and politicians. However, I also realize that concentrating on the positive and trying to improve the negative are the best steps moving forward.
I hope you agree.

Ralston to add expertise at London fund
The £4.2bn London Pensions Fund Authority has appointed the founder of PhiRo Investment Consulting as a part-time adviser to its new chief investment officer.
Nicola Ralston, who co-founded PiRho in October 2008 after stepping down as global head of investment consulting at what is now Aon Hewitt, will begin her new role at LPFA next month, according to chief executive Mike Taylor.
He said: "It's an appointment by the board to assist the investment committee. The role was previously held by David Rough, who is chairman of the remuneration committee at [mining group] Xstrata. He knew our previous chief investment officer Vanessa [James] well, and decided that since she was going it was a good time for him to go too."
Rough, a former director of group investments at Legal & General, had been advising the LPFA since 2002.
Ralston will be working alongside the fund's new chief investment officer, Alex Gracian, who joined in October from Gulf International Bank, where he was head of equity portfolios managing over $15bn. He has a background in quant strategies, and was previously head of quant and indexed equities & trading at the £3.5bn TRW Pension Scheme.
Taylor said: "He has a quite different background to Vanessa; he is much more quantitatively-oriented and interested in things like smart beta."
Ralston, a well-known figure in asset management circles, has worked in the industry for 33 years. She spent two decades at Schroders, rising to become head of investment management, before moving into investment consulting.
She joined hedge funds and pension consulting outfit Liability Solutions in 2006, before buying out the pension fund advisory arm with Phil Irvine in 2008 and rebranding it PhiRo Investment Consulting.
The boutique specialises in advising pension funds on their investments in hedge funds and other absolute-return strategies, but it also played an important role in advising Australia's BT Investment Management in its 2011 acquisition of London fund manager JO Hambro Capital Management – named Deal of the Year in Financial News' Asset Management Awards that year.

Poll: Most Floridians favor action on global warming
Democrats, independents seem to strongly support intervention.
By JENNIFER LIBERTO
Published May 14, 2007
Almost three of four Floridians think state lawmakers should take immediate steps to combat global warming.
In a St. Petersburg Times/Bay News 9 poll, 71 percent of those polled said they support immediate legislative action to cut green house gas emissions.
More than half - 54 percent - said they believe global warming has contributed to an increase in the number and severity of hurricanes over the past few years.
Pollster Kellyanne Conway cautioned that the numbers might be inflated given the trendiness of global warming as a political issue, but she said it appears global warming has become a significant issue in Florida.
"It's their way of asking Tallahassee to get Mother Nature out of her bad mood, " said Conway of the Polling Co. of Washington, D.C.
Democrats and independents most strongly favored government action to curb greenhouse gases, with 81 percent of Democrats and 83 percent of independents agreeing, according to the poll. About 54 percent of Republicans supported government action.
Also, younger people, those 18 to 34, supported government intervention to cut emissions more strongly than those older than 65.
Scientists believe that the burning of fossil fuel has produced atmospheric gases that trap heat near the earth's surface, which in turn warms oceans. Some believe that the warmer oceans are spawning more frequent and stronger hurricanes.
Florida has lagged behind other states in coming up with ways to cut greenhouse gasses. This year, the Legislature took a step in that direction by passing a bill that creates a task force focused on figuring out how to structure future energy policy. The bill also orders the Public Service Commission to recommend power companies produce some electricity using renewable fuels.
It also gave $62-million for alternative energy programs, including one that converts crops into fuel.
Energy policy is also expected to emerge as presidential campaign issue in Florida, as 67 percent of those polled said energy policy is a "very important" presidential campaign discussion.
"Public awareness and attitudes about energy policy and global warming are growing at an increasing amount on the daily basis, " said Susan Glickman with Natural Resources Defense Council, an environmental nonprofit.
