Abendschein named Pitcher of The Year
JoElla Smith has been said to be one of the best female athletes ever to come through Madras High School by current coaches and spectators.
The senior received more recognition last week, as she was named the Tri-Valley Conference Player of The Year in softball.
"Dynamic," Madras head softball coach Shawna McConnell said when asked to describe Smith, who was also slated the TVC first-team catcher. "She is one of those kids that leads by example."
Smith led off and played catcher for the White Buffalos. The team captain hit .463 in TVC play that included 25 hits. She also stole 18 bases.
"Jo was an extension of our coaching staff," McConnell said of Smith, who will be playing softball at Northwest Christian University next year. "It was like having a coach behind the plate. She is just an all around great kid and a tremendous athlete."
Teammate Maycee Abendschein was named the TVC Pitcher of The Year. She and Smith were unanimous selections and helped Madras win the TVC regular-season title with a 14-1 record.
"Maycee really matured from last year as a pitcher," McConnell said. "She worked very hard in the off season and is a true competitor."
Abendschein struggled last year with nagging injuries and a delivery flaw, but she regrouped to dominate TVC opponents. She posted a 1.10 earned run average in TVC play, booked 61 strikeouts and walked only eight.
"She really turned things around and was fantastic," McConnell said of Abendschein.
McConnell was recognized as the TVC Coach of The Year.
"The players made me look good," McConnell said. "The award was an award for our entire coaching staff. We are a team, a unit, and all the coaches and players made Coach of The Year possible."
Madras sophomore Jamie Moe and Abendschein were named first-team pitchers, and both were named second-team infielders.
"Our players were heavily praised in our all-league coaches meeting," McConnell said. "Coaches around the league said our players were a class act."
Abendschein had 26 hits in 15 TVC games, four of which were round trippers.
Madras second baseman Lauren Short and third baseman Alex Holcomb were named first-team infielders.
"Lauren was absolutely solid defensively," McConnell said of Short, who batted. .565 in TVC action.
Holcomb was feared with her bat. She led the team with seven home runs this season amd tied Abendschein with 30 RBIs.
"Alex is a power hitter and really stepped up this season," McConnell said.
Madras outfielders Mallory Smith and Natalie Martin were named to the first team.
Sarah Brown was recognized as a second-team infielder and Caitlin Hulsey was named a second-team utility player for Madras.

text: Both my Landlord and his agent's are repeatedly ignoring my requests for information regarding the moving out procedure. We are due to move out in a few weeks but have not been told who we give the keys to and when the inventory and condition of the house will be inspected. Previous advice on here told me to contact the landlord/agent to find out but they will not respond. Im getting increasingly concerned about this, especially when i have just looked at the Companies House records for the letting agents and found out they have been making a substantial operating loss over the last 12 -24 months and the directors owe the company £50,000. Something doesn't quite seem right here.

China Trade Balance, CPI
Heading into Q4, some of the recent economic data points out of China have suggested that the slowdown in growth which began in Q2 2012 could reaccelerate. One of the more relevant economic figures is the China purchasing managers' index (PMI). China's most recent PMI, 51.1 for September, was the highest (Figure 1) since April 2012. The modest recovery in Chinese manufacturing lifted the performance of the materials sector (Figure 2) in the second half of 2013 and reversed its significant first-half underperformance.
This past weekend the China trade balance, CPI, and PPI readings for September were released. Media headlines for those releases will certainly focus on the contraction in exports and the rise in the CPI. However, based on the collective evidence below, I urge not to make decisions purely on those media headlines.
Let's take a look at the evidence…
- September trade balance reports a surplus of $15.21 billion, down from August's $28.52 billion and below consensus estimates for a surplus of $26.25 billion
- Two-way trade with China's largest trading partner, the European Union, moderated from +3.5% in August to +2.6% in September
- However, the economic recovery in the U.K. continues to stand out globally, as two-way trade with China rose in September to +12.9% from +11.2% in August
- Two-way trade with the U.S. moderated to +6.9% from +9.2% in August
- September exports contracted 0.3% after rising 7.2% in August; consensus estimates were for a gain of 5.5%
- Exports to India fell 10.7% year on year
- Exports to Brazil fell 5.0% year on year
- Exports to the U.S. rose 4.2%, down from the prior month's +6.1%
- Exports to Southeast Asian nations fell to +9.8% after August's +30.8%
- September imports rose 7.4% better than the +7.0% consensus estimate, which was also the reading for August
- China oil imports rose to a record 6.26 million barrels per day, an increase of 25% from August
- September CPI rose to 3.1% from 2.6% in August; consensus estimates were for 2.8%
- Food rose 6.1% in September after rising 4.7% in August
- Non-food rose 1.6% in September after rising 1.5% in August
- September PPI contracted 1.3%; consensus estimates were for a contraction of 1.4%; and August PPI contracted 1.6%.
- September new yuan loans rose to 787 billion yuan ($129 billion USD) ahead of August's 711 billion yuan and consensus estimates for 675 billion yuan
- Q3 foreign exchange reserves reached $3.66 trillion from Q2's $3.5 trillion – the largest quarterly increase in two years
- Money supply growth moderated to 14.2% from August's 14.7%
Investors must be careful not to focus solely on the media headlines of weak exports and rising inflation. China's economic evidence must be collectively reviewed. On the export side, the past few months have witnessed a strong recovery in the U.S. and Europe. The September figures present moderation of that recovery, in particular for the U.S., where I suspect the looming government shutdown did impact late September figures. Export figures for Asia, Brazil, and India confirm the continued cyclical headwinds facing those regions from weakening domestic currencies.
As far as the inflation uptick, please keep in mind that the People's Bank of China (PBOC) has an inflation target of +3.5%. September's reading of +3.1% (Figure 3) is still below that target. Also there has been significant regional flooding in China that has decimated domestic food supplies and elevated food pricing. CPI readings over the next few months should continue to trend toward and above the PBOC's +3.5% target. However, I do not expect that will motivate government officials to moderate the current fiscal growth initiatives that have at the very least stabilized the decline in growth over the past few months.
Unfortunately, what is little reported on is what I have urged investors to focus on most – the continued rise in the value of the China yuan. While most other emerging market economies continued to be challenged by weakening currencies, the yuan (Figure 4) is currently trading near its highest all-time highs. The value of the yuan remains near the top of my list of relevant China metrics.
Next up from China is this Thursday evening's GDP release. There has been a steady decline in Chinese growth since the first half of 2010 when GDP (Figure 5) was running well above 10%. However, Q3 GDP should present a modest increase – consensus estimate is for +7.8%, from Q2's +7.5% – and position GDP to reach back above 8% in early 2014 for the first time since early 2012.

PHOTOS: Rush, 7 other artists inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
(Photo by Kevin Winter/Getty Images Entertainment)
Click here for more pictures from the 2013 induction ceremony!
(Los Angeles) - Rush fans can relax. The band is now officially in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
The Canadian rockers were welcomed into the musical fraternity at Thursday's 28th annual induction ceremony by the Foo Fighters'Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins.
"We've been saying for a long time that this wasn't a big deal," drummer-lyricist Neil Peart told the Nokia Theatre crowd, most of whom came out to specifically support the band. "It turns out, it kind of is."
Rush gained entry following its first appearance on the ballot after repeatedly being left off the list since gaining eligibility in 1998, to the great consternation of the legion of Rush fans who cried bias against progressive rock. The long wait didn't seem to matter at Thursday's star-studded concert event, which ran over 5 hours. Peart, lead singer Alex Lifeson and guitarist Geddy Lee made up for lost time by launching into a rambunctious rendition of "Tom Sawyer" in front of more than 7,000 attendees.

Rush was among this year's eight eclectic inductees, which also included fellow classic rockers Heart, singer-songwriter Randy Newman, rap group Public Enemy, disco queen Donna Summer, bluesman Albert King, and producers Quincy Jones and Lou Adler.

Adler was inducted by Richard "Cheech" Marin and Tommy Chong before being serenaded by Carole King with "So Far Away." Jack Nicholson was among Adler's fans in the audience who lavished the producer-mogul a standing ovation.
With his guitar around his neck, John Mayer inducted the late King before joining Gary Clark Jr. for King-tinged jam session.
"Albert King is why guitar-face was invented," joked Mayer.
Newman — joined by Jackson Browne, John Fogerty and Tom Petty — kicked off the Los Angeles ceremony with a performance of his classic "I Love L.A." It was an appropriate song choice given the fact this year's event marks the first time since 1993 that the Cleveland, Ohio, institution has held its induction ceremony on the West Coast. Backstage, Newman was matter-of-fact about his inclusion.
"I didn't think it would happen until I died or something," he said.
Oprah Winfrey was on hand to welcome Jones into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and Usher lauded the producer-mogul with a rendition of the Michael Jackson tune "Rock with You."
Jennifer Hudson paid tribute to Summer with a medley of her hits, much to the chagrin of Flava Flav. The Public Enemy rapper, clad in an all-white tux, was the only person in the crowd who remained on his feet throughout her performance. He later commanded the microphone for a long-winded acceptance speech when Public Enemy was recognized. His colleague, Chuck D, was more succinct in his remarks.
"Let us all not forget, we all come from the damn blues," he told detractors.
Rock Hall President Greg Harris called WTAM 1100's Bill Wills after the ceremony wrapped.
The induction ceremony will be broadcast May 18 on HBO.

The hosts scored the winner in the 90th minute, when Marko Arnautovic grabbed the goal of the game from the edge of the Ukraine box to win the game for the hosts.
Austria had taken the lead just three minutes into the game through a free kick from Zlatko Junuzovic, and the visitors struggled to find a way back in the first half.
A frantic period of play started in the 11th minute of the second half when this summer's co-hosts got their equaliser. Oleg Gusev was presented with a simple finish to tap in.
The hosts went ahead again in the 63rd minute, Arnautovic getting his first of the game after being given time to pick his spot past substitute Ukrainian goalkeeper Maxim Koval.
Just three minutes later, Gusev brought the game back level with a shot from the outside of the box, curling his shot into Heinza Lindner's goal.
The game looked to be heading to a draw, until Arnautovic's stunning finish to send the home crowd celebrating a win.
It was a below par performance by Oleh Blokhin's men, who as well as facing Sweden, will meet France and England in Group D at Euro 2012. They play their final warm-up match before the tournament against Turkey on Tuesday.
After taking the lead in the third minute through Junuzovic's curled free-kick, Austria struggled to keep the pressure on Ukraine.
Despite dominating the possession in the first half, Ukraine struggled to create anything of real note, making far too many simple errors which they will hope to eradicate come their European Championship opener against Sweden.
This summer's Euro 2012 co-hosts equalised in the 56th minute. Serhiy Nazarenko took a free kick on the edge of the Austria penalty area, which hit the wall and fell to Andriy Yarmolenko, who squared to Gusev for a tap in.
It sparked a frantic ten minutes, as in the 63rd minute, Austria went ahead again. Arnautovic got his first of the game, as he found the ball at his feet after decent build up play by David Alaba. Arnautovic had time to pick his spot and fire past substitute goalkeeper Koval.
Just three minutes later, the game was level once more. Gusev got his second of the game, but this one was far more impressive. Yarmolenko weaved into the Austria box, and had time to find the Dynamo Kyiv star on the edge of the box to curl a shot past Lindner.
It was the goal of the game until the 90th minute. The home side had looked threatening when breaking forward quickly for the entire game, and they got the winner their positive approach deserved.
Arnautovic received the ball on the left wing, cut inside the box, and with his right foot unleashed a perfectly curled shot into the top corner of the far post.
It was the penultimate friendly for Ukraine before co-hosting Euro 2012. They will play their final friendly against Turkey on Tuesday, before beginning their campaign against Sweden in front of their home fans in Kiev on the June 11.

Defining and classifying diseases and risks linked to childhood obesity
Since 2004, the Foundation has supported the creation and maintenance of a longitudinal database on Arkansas school children's body mass indices (BMIs). This database has revealed that ambitious school policies in Arkansas may have halted the epidemic of childhood obesity in the state and has demonstrated a link between childhood overweight and a wide variety of medical conditions. This project will: (1) extend data collection and maintenance for an additional three years; (2) link Medicaid records to individual children's BMI for an additional three years; and (3) develop a variety of policy-relevant analyses using the entire six years of children's BMI and Medicaid records. One such analysis will be a revised risk classification for childhood overweight, intended to move policy on prevention of childhood obesity. Such a risk classification system exists for adults, but not children. The risk classification will also stimulate action by clinicians, in the same way that risk classification has done in combating health conditions such as hypertension, cholesterol and asthma. The project will be considered successful if policy-relevant analyses are developed and if six years of data permit RWJF to monitor and report the trend in Arkansas children's BMI. The project deliverables will include annual reports on Arkansas children's BMI, annual reports on the linkage between children's overweight and Medicaid reimbursable conditions, and a risk classification system for use by, and distribution to, clinicians.

Falling Out Of Tree's- Barcelona
Fmaj7 Dm
Fall, fall out of trees
Into the street
On my own
Dm Am G Gsus
I finally found out how long I can hang on
Fmaj7 C
I've got this all wrong
Am Fmaj7
My heart is scared, my heart is gone
Dm A G Gsus
Now, looking around, there's no one here to hear my fall
Dm Am C G x2
Fmaj7 Dm
White, white as a sheet
Am Fmaj7
I saw a ghost, I think it was me
Dm Am
I've got to get out
Out of this town
It's scary
Fmaj7 C
Sometimes when I sleep
Am F
I miss my home, I miss my tree
Dm Am G Gsus
And now it's up to them to carry me back up to the top
Dm Am C G x2
I've got this now
C Fmaj7
My legs are steady now
C Fmaj7 C

You should add the end for the repetition of that verse:
I've got this now
C Fmaj7
My legs are steady now
Am G F
The angels warned me never to fall down

Only a few titles seemed mildly disappointing. Chief among this unhappy group were Dead Rising – does the world really need a zombie-battering game this simple? – and Ridge Racer 6. After Project Gotham 3 and Need for Speed: Most Wanted, Namco's next-generation racer seemed fearsomely bland. The sort of tracks we were impressed by on Ridge Racers PSP don't look half as amazing on a huge, high-definition screen, and the controls had on odd, unresponsive digital feel. Come on Namco: your portable Ridge Racer did a great job of putting the brand back on track – don't blow it now.
In general, X05 gave me lots of reasons to be hopeful. There are some genuinely brilliant games in this line-up, and having actually played real Xbox 360 software on real Xbox 360 hardware, I'm left impressed with the power of the machine. Admittedly, I have been left with some questions. Is there anything truly original or groundbreaking in the launch line-up? Probably not. Also, the odd inconsistent frame rate and the huge discrepancies between the best looking titles and the worst make me suspect that it will – as some developers have stated – take time for programmers to get their heads around the triple-core CPU and the new ATI GPU. However, as the first foray into a new era of gaming, this is a very good start.

Outer foil k40y-9
Does anyone know which side of a k40y-9 is the outer shield? I read that the backward E indicates this, but it's been awhile and I forgot.
Tried google but after an hour I give up. I don't own a scope so that method won't work for me. Richard
This is my understanding. I'm hoping someone will correct me if I am wrong.
Is this really necessary? I have just built a linestage and the final output caps are audionote foil, I was on the website earlier and it appears that i have installed them the wrong way round! beginners luck!! my question is... will i really notice if i turn them around?
cheers stuart
Auricap says the outer foil should go to the signal source (driver stage) and the inner foil goes to the circuit output (power tube's grid). Many people who have tried say it doesn't make much difference either way.
If you ground the shield it does not matter, but if not it may pick up lower frequencies a bit better when outer shield is soldered to a grid.

A sensational sprint finish saw Mark Cavendish claim the 22nd Tour de France stage success of his career in Brive-la-Gaillarde today.
The 27-year-old from the Isle of Man equalled Lance Armstrong and Andre Darrigade in fourth place in the all-time rankings of Tour stage winners.
Bradley Wiggins, who retained a lead of two minutes five seconds at the top of the overall rankings as he seems ever more certain of becoming the first British winner of the Tour, played his part in leading Cavendish out at the end of the 222.5-kilometre route from Blagnac.
But the world champion had to use all his skill to negotiate his way around Luis-Leon Sanchez and Nicolas Roche, who were making a last-ditch bid to avoid a sprint finish, and power to a stunning triumph.
Matt Goss (Orica-GreenEdge) was second, with points classification leader Peter Sagan (Liquigas-Cannondale) third.
Sanchez (Rabobank) was fourth, with Roche (Ag2r La Mondiale) fifth.
Cavendish claimed his first Tour stage success for Team Sky on stage two to take his tally to 21, but had been at Wiggins' service until today's penultimate road stage.
The Manxman will have another opportunity in Sunday's final stage, usually a processional finish, until the Champs-Elysees, where the sprinters contest the stage win.
Cavendish is unbeaten on Paris' most famous boulevard, having won in 2009, 2010 and 2011 in the three Tours he has completed.
Wiggins has vowed to work for Cavendish in the French capital, but began to pay back his friend and team-mate's loyalty with a supreme showing in Brive.
The 32-year-old Londoner was seen punching the air in delight behind Cavendish as the Manxman celebrated the latest win of his prolific career. Cavendish won four stages in 2008, six in 2009, five in 2010 and five last year.
It was the fifth British stage success of the Tour and could be a sign of what to expect on the opening day of London 2012 a week tomorrow, when Wiggins bids to help Cavendish claim Olympic road race gold.
Wiggins now faces two further days' racing to become the first Briton to claim the yellow jersey on a permanent basis.
Wiggins retained his advantage over Team Sky colleague Chris Froome, with Vincenzo Nibali (Liquigas-Cannondale) 2mins 41secs behind in third.
Wiggins is expected to enhance his hold on the maillot jaune in tomorrow's 53.5km time-trial to Chartres.
David Millar (Garmin-Sharp) was in the early 16-man breakaway.
Millar, winner of stage 12 one week ago, was joined by Team Sky's Edvald Boasson Hagen.
The peloton were more than two minutes behind with 90km to go when a large black dog strayed into the road, causing a crash.
Philippe Gilbert was among the riders unseated by the animal and forcefully made a point to its owner, with BMC Racing team director John Lelangue pulling the rider away.
Boasson Hagen was first of the leaders to crest the summit of the day's penultimate climb, the category four Cote de Souillac, which came 41km from the finish. The peloton were 1:30 behind.
With the main bunch closing to within a minute of the escape group, Lotto-Belisol's Adam Hansen and Jeremy Roy (FDJ-Bigmat) accelerated clear as they passed under the 20km to go marker.
On the day's final climb, Alexandre Vinokourov (Astana) and Luca Paolini (Katusha) bridged the gap and went ahead with Hansen.
With the Team Sky-led peloton closing in fast, Vinokourov went over the summit first and riders began to accelerate out of the main bunch in a bid to foil the anticipated sprint finish.
Six riders - with Roche, Sanchez (Rabobank) and Andreas Kloden (RadioShack-Nissan) bridging the gap - had a 10-second lead entering the final 3km.
The group worked together to try to keep the peloton, with Team Sky at the front and Cavendish poised behind Wiggins, at bay.
A tight left-hand corner and a right-angled right slowed the pursuit before Wiggins went to the front, with Boasson Hagen taking over.
Cavendish left it late before coming off the Norwegian's wheel at 250 metres to go and moved up before a daring left to right move in the finishing straight saw him dart by Sanchez and Roche to record the latest victory of his stellar career.
The clear success also proved Cavendish is peaking at the right time for his tilt at Olympic glory a week tomorrow.

Koala love story wins hearts after deadly Aussie fires
By Belinda Goldsmith
CANBERRA (Reuters) - A love story between two badly burned koalas rescued from Australia's deadliest bushfires has provided some heart-warming relief after days of devastation and the loss of over 180 lives.
The story of Sam and her new boyfriend Bob emerged after volunteer firefighter Dave Tree used a mobile phone to film the rescue of the bewildered female found cowering in a burned out forest at Mirboo North, 150 km (90 miles) southeast of Melbourne.
Photos and a video of Tree, 44, approaching Sam while talking gently to her, and feeding her water from a plastic bottle as she put her burned claw in his cold, wet hand quickly hit video sharing website YouTube (www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XSPx7S4jr4), making her an Internet sensation.
But it was after reaching a wildlife shelter that Sam met and befriended Bob, who was saved by wildlife workers on Friday, two days before Sam, in Boolarra, about 180 km from Melbourne.
Tree, who has been a volunteer firefighter for 26 years, said it was extremely rare to get so close to a koala so he asked his colleague Brayden Groen, 20, to film him.
"You can how she stops and moves forward and looks at me. It was like a look saying "I can't run, I'm weak and sore, put me out of my misery,"" Tree told Reuters.
"I yelled out for some water and I sat down with her and tipped the water up. It was in my hand and she reached for the bottle then put her right claw into my left hand which was cold so it must have given her some pain relief and she just left it there. It was just amazing."

About MeHello Model Mayhem!!! welcome to my profile (:
My name is Isabella, I was born and Raised in the Beautiful land of Colorado!
I love to be outside; hiking, swimming, camping, skiing/snowboarding you name it (:
On to business! At first modeling wasn't even a thought, sure I had been told a few times
Growing up that I could be a model but I hadn't taken it into consideration, untill I turned 17.
My best friend and I wanted to move to NYC ( a girl can dream I guess) but we talked about it alot,She wanted to be a journalist and I wasn't sure what I wanted to do,When modeling came to mind... I knew that is what I wanted! Of course things changed and my friend had a baby so we clearly didn't move to NYC but the thought of it all was only the beginning...
I worked at a coffee shop in the small town that I grew up in and made friends with the owner and people I worked with. After holding in this burning desire to do something I've never tried, I shared my passion for modeling with the owner who happened to have a Daughter in Savannah GA. That was an experienced model. She and I connected and there I was a week later, on my first flight to Savannah GA. To have my first modeling experience!
My first shoot was done by photographer John Alden @ Fort Palaski on Nov.5th 2012 @ Tybee Island GA. It was a beautiful place to shoot! I guess I did good for a " 17 year old first timer" John gave me the biggest complement, he said that my pictures were the best he has taken and that I had potential in modeling and that he enjoyed working with me!
My second photo shoot was also done by John Alden on Dec. 14th of 2012 it was taken along the state line of South Carolina near the beach. And that's my little bit of modeling.
I feel like the more experience I get in modeling the better! My goal is to learn all I can in this art form and expand my horizons! I love and have a need for travel and Meeting New people as well as making connections. In conclusion, I'm ready for adventures!!!
~ peace

Adaptive curriculum launches its first product aimed at consumers
Edtech company Adaptive Curriculum has announced the launch of its very first consumer product, an online-based learning system that compliments what kids are learning in school. Dubbed Uzinggo, the platform combines established techniques, interactive game-like graphics, real world simulations and motivational tools that aim to help students fully understand what they are learning in school.
Uzinggo is built on the 5E Instructional Model – Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate and Evaluate. Said model is built into each of Uzinggo's study plans, aka ZingPaths™. Uzinggo is available for students in grades 5-12, with ZingPaths™ in courses ranging from Pre-Algebra to Physics. Prep and review courses are also available in a variety of subjects.
"For the U.S. to remain a leader in global innovation we have to acknowledge that many of our students are struggling in math and science," says Peter Rillero, Ph.D., Science Education, Tenured Professor of Science Education, Teachers College, Arizona State University. "The research conducted jointly with ASU and Adaptive Curriculum illustrates that there are ways to address this: students need a deeper understanding of math and science, and they need to relate these subjects to the real world – Uzinggo does this."
When using Uzinggo, students are guided through a ZingPath™ on a chosen subject course with audio prompts and robust interactive models. After receiving guided instruction and completing an activity, students are rewarded with points and badges. Students can earn more points by completing an assessment and performing well on the questions. Activities and assessments can be repeated as many times as needed until the student fully comprehends the subject matter.
"Adaptive Curriculum's institutional product is successfully implemented in schools across the country, where students have been struggling to achieve average performance levels, let alone excel," said Adaptive Curriculum CEO Jim Bowler in a prepared statement. "The incredible turn-around stories school administrators and teachers have shared with us inspired us to create a product parents can use at home with their children to further support the learning experience, and help all of our children perform well on assessments."

Ranks of U.S. centenarians growing rapidly: report
By David Beasley
ATLANTA - The number of Americans living beyond their 100th birthday has surged nearly 44 percent since the turn of the century, a U.S. study released on Thursday showed.
Better medical care and healthier lifestyles helped to boost U.S. centenarians' ranks to 72,197 in 2014 from 50,281 in 2000, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report said. More than 80 percent of the centenarians were female.
The numbers should keep rising, since the death rate for centenarians has fallen since 2008, noted the study's author, Jiaquan Xu. Some projections show there could be 387,000 U.S. centenarians in 35 years, he noted.
"People are more aware of their health, of the importance of staying active and eating healthy food," Xu said.
Genetic research indicates that about 17 percent of the U.S. population has traits that increase their chances of living past 100, said Dr. Thomas Perls, a geriatrician and director of the New England Centenarian Study at Boston Medical Center.
"In the early 1900s and before, people could count on losing about a quarter of their children to infectious diseases and other public health problems," Perls said.
But with improvements in fighting diseases, people who are genetically prone to live past 100 are now far more likely to survive childhood, he said.
Baby boomers, born after World War II through the mid-1960s, are likely to swell the ranks of centenarians even further, Perls noted. Continued...

Hey idiot, read the second paragraph of the first post on this thread.<quoted text>
This is what I said ..."Furthermore, how ironic this particular reporter had numerous times been critical of Obama's policies, something altogether unique in the ranks of CBS, and she finds herself spied upon."
Critical of Obama's policies ... That's hardly saying she "led the way" in anything, you moron, and being critical of Obama is as I said "unique" at CBS, which may be one of the reasons her computer was hacked. She stepped out of line.

Kevin Garnett walked on the TD Garden hardwood on a surgically repaired knee, and played his first real NBA game (though, is the preseason even real?) in Boston since a March 23 win over the Clippers. Judging by the looks of things, KG is sure glad to be back.
With the entire active roster for both teams playing in the game, the Celtics truly proved they are a better team than the Knicks top to bottom (who didn't think that, anyway) after a 96-82 win. Garnett scored 10 points and grabbed eight boards in his 22 minutes on the floor.
Rasheed Wallace made his TD Garden debut as a member of the Green and impressed with the game's only double-double. He scored 13 points on 5-12 shooting, and grabbed 12 rebounds. He shot 3-9 from beyond the arc, showing that he can help the squad stretch the floor, especially considering he's 6-11.
Rajon Rondo finished a pretty ineffective game with just six points (3-7 shooting), three assists, and two steals. He was limited by five personal fouls, so that didn't help. He'll be fine this season as he tries to prove to Danny Ainge — and the NBA — that he's absolutely worth that max contract he's been seeking.
The Knicks were led by Al Harrington (13 points, four rebounds) and David Lee (13 points, six rebounds), but really didn't have much of a chance after scoring only eight points in the first quarter. Expect the Knicks to just play out the schedule while they wait for the summer free agent frenzy of 2010. LeBron James will be a free agent, and Knicks are expected to make a huge push for him. Yeah, we'll see about that.
The Celtics next host the New Jersey Nets (the other team vying for LeBron's services) on Sunday afternoon at 1 p.m.

Save:Strol CYPIBI™ - the revolution of Salvestrol™?
There are interesting case studies with Salvestrol™ and CYP1B1. It is about the ongoing development of phytoalexins (Salvestrol™) and to use them more targeted: however in the case studies was not used the definition of phytoalexins, but the trademark Salvestrol™. Salvestrol™ was launched by prof. Dan Burke in Leicester GB in collaboration with Nature's Defence Research Ltd., Leicester GB and put on the market. The first registration of the trademark Salvestrol™ was done by Defence Research Ltd. 2004 in the UK and the US and afterwards in other countries. Dr. Brian Schaefer – also author of studies about phytoalexins - is one of the directors of Acquired Intelligence Inc, the Canadian and US distributor of Salvestrol™. In the same way professor Gerry Potter, Dr. Robbie Wood and professor Dan Burke are shareholders of Salvestrol Natural Products, the developer of Salvestrol™ technology in the UK. Since Salvestrol™ is a registered trademark, Energy Balance SA and Dr. Jens Wurster agreed to give a new name for phytoalexins: Save:Strol CYPIBI™, which allows a more progressive development with the intention to improve and bring more value and benefits for the customer.
Phytoalexins – the natural plant cell protection
Phytoalexins (Pterostilbene, Stilbene) are natural plant defense compounds that protect the plant against fungi, viruses, bacteria, UV light and insects. The plant forms these defense substances at the point of need, when it gets attacked. Today's conventionally grown vegetables, fruits and crops are sprayed with fungicides and other pesticides, which lowers the content of phytoalexins (Pterostilbene) in the plants. Read more phytoalexins in Wikipedia.
In some cases free radicals are able to escape from the reaction with an enzyme or an antioxidant. The am British scientists have discovered, that under certain conditions healthy cells, which react with free radicals do mutate to produce the CYP1B1 enzyme and this enzyme then reacts with phytoalexins. Because of this reaction in the mutant cell a metabolite is formed. This metabolite ensures that the normal process of apoptosis can be induced in the mutant cell. Apoptosis is a form of programmed cell death, which starts after the cells do not bring benefits anymore.
In this way phytoalexins help in situations, where antioxidants have not done their job and in this way help to protect healthy cells and tissues. Nature seems to have considered this and has prepared itself for this case. Humans have probably taken phytoalexins for millennia from fruits, vegetables and berries, which have ensure the health of all cells and proper immune system. Due to various innovations in agriculture and in the food industry, it is advisable to give your body phytoalexins through food or a dietary supplement.
NEW: Bio-activated phytoalexins in Save:Strol CYPIBI™
Dr. Jens Wurster strives to maximize the positive impact of phytoalexins and has therefore added to the formula of Save:Strol CYPIBI ™ a special bio activator in the form of a Beta-glucans, GMO-free manufactured in Germany. According to scientific studies beta-1,3 / 1,6-glucans are of the most effective natural immune modulators, by stimulating the activity of macrophages. Beta-glucans from the cell walls of baker's yeast are most thoroughly scientifically studied and seem to have the highest efficacy. Macrophages belong to the cells of the immune system and used to eliminate microorganisms by phagocytosis and represent phylogenetic (phylogenetic) the probably oldest parts of the innate immune system.
Oleuropein - the natural defense against fungi and diseases
Olive trees are highly resistant to fungus and to diseases that can be caused by bacteria. Therefore, olive trees live up to 1,000 years or even more. This high and healthy age is possible because the tree bears a natural defense system in itself, which protects it from such attacks. This "protective" properties of the substance "oleuropein" naturally contained in olive leaf are attributed, which as polyphenol has strong antimicrobial, antifungal and antiparasitic properties. Oleuropein belongs to the group of polyphenols (important phytamins or plant extracts) and is contained in the olive fruit, the roots and especially in the olive leaf. It is no coincidence that the oleuropein is most stored in the leaves, because they remain more than 5 years on the tree and practice during this time of vital functions without which the tree could not survive.

Funky: two electric motors drive all four wheels of the 816kg Treo concept.
21 October 2003
By BYRON MATHIOUDAKIS
Jeep has unveiled the Treo, a youth-orientated entry-level 4WD concept that takes advantage of the packaging benefits of a zero-emission powerplant and drive-by-wire technology.
Unveiled at this week's Tokyo Motor Show, the 4WD-capable Treo sits on a new platform that can accommodate a fuel cell application, amongst other projected future motivation sources, to free up passenger and cargo space in a compact package.
The concept car's actual power source is from two electric motors of undisclosed output, capable of driving all four wheels. It weighs approximately 816kg.
The Treo is a nod towards the growing US trend of "urban mobility vehicle," which is usually an affordable, compact car-based 4WD-like hatchback aimed at the twenty-something set.
To this end, the Treo features Jeep's corporate round-headlight and vertical-bar grille face grafted on a teardrop shaped three-door monobox hatchback body with oversized wheels.
Two mounted off-road bicycles flank the heavily tapered rear.
The glass-roofed cabin, which seats two occupants up front and one behind, has a dash, steering and pedals module that slides from left-to-right hand drive for global market applications.
A second removable module houses the climate, audio and satellite positioning operations.

PRINCETON, N.J. -- The final weekend of regular season was action-packed with twists and turns, especially in the South Division where Penn essentially posted two sets of wins, only to see the Big Red fight off elimination time and time again versus a resilient Princeton team. When it was all said and done, Penn and Cornell posted weekend sweeps and will now clash in a one-game playoff for the right to represent the South Division in the 2012 Ivy League Championship Series. It will be the first one-game playoff in League history.
How Penn and Cornell moved from 11-5 entering the weekend to 15-5 after the weekend is where the drama lies. The Quakers played host to a pair of games on Friday and took both from South Division foe Columbia by scores of 5-1 and 9-1. The Quakers and Lions then headed to New York to finish their four-game set the following day and again Penn posted a sweep, winning 8-2 and 11-1.
Thus, part of the way through game one, Cornell was already in a position where it had to sweep four games at Princeton (beginning with two on Saturday) to force the one-game playoff. In game one versus the Tigers, Kristen Towne's two-out single in the 14th inning staked Cornell to a lead and Alyson Onyon closed Princeton out as the Big Red won the longest game in program history, 2-1. The game also tied for the second-longest game in Princeton history. Cornell then took the second game on Saturday, 6-4. On Sunday, Cornell won game one in 10 innings, also by the score of 2-1. Lauren Bucolo led the Big Red to the win when she plated the go-ahead run with a two-out double in the 10th. In the series finale, the Big Red took a 6-0 win to force the playoff.
The Quakers and Big Red will play one game on Saturday, May 5 to determine who will then play at Harvard on May 11-12 in the Ivy League Championship Series. The playoff will take place at 12:30 p.m. at Penn Park. The game will be played at Penn because the Quakers took three of four from the Big Red when they played earlier this season. The North and South Division format dates back to 2007, and this marks the first time two teams in the same division have finsihed with identical Ivy records.
Harvard finished with a 17-3 Ivy record and clinched the North Division for the third-consecutive season and the fifth time overall. The Crimson will play host to the Ivy League Championship Series for the second year in a row. Dartmouth did earn a split with the Crimson over the weekend to prevent Harvard of tying or surpassing the best record in Ivy play since switching to divisional play (two teams have finished 18-2).
Penn junior Brooke Coloma (Martinez, Calif.) led a Quaker offense that outscored its opposition by a 36-7 margin last week while posting a 5-0 record, including a four-game sweep of Columbia that enabled Penn to tie for the South Division title. She had a hit in all four games versus Columbia, including six hits in Saturday's two games. Coloma also had an RBI in all four Ivy games, and totaled eight for the weekend. She scored four runs versus the Lions while batting .615 and slugging 1.154 with two home runs.
It marks Coloma's first career Ivy League Player of the Week honor, though she was named the Ivy League Rookie of the Week three times as a freshman (April 6, April 27 and May 4, 2010).
Coloma's Weekly Stats
5GP, 16 AB, 4 R, 8 H, 1 2B, 2 HR, 8 RBI, 1 BB, 2 K, .500 Avg., .529 OBP, .938 Slg.%
Cornell's Alyson Onyon (Saratoga Springs, N.Y.) was nothing short of exceptional, going 3-0 with a 0.45 ERA while pitching 31.0 innings in three complete game victories. She surrendered just 18 hits in the 31 innings, all singles, and improved to 9-1 in Ivy play this season.
Onyon opened the weekend by pitching a school-record 14 innings in a 2-1 victory over Princeton on Saturday. She gave up eight hits while striking out six. She was just as good, if not better, in Sunday's must-win doubleheaders on the road. The sophomore pitched a pair of complete games over 17 innings, allowing just 13 base runners and one earned run in two games. She posted her second-consecutive exra-inning complete game with a 10-inning five-hitter as part of another 2-1 triumph. She only needed to work seven innings in the Ivy League South Division clincher for her third shutout of the year. She scattered five hits.
Onyon enticed 17 ground ball outs back to her, including a school-record 10 assists in Saturday's 14-inning win. She only allowed the leadoff runner to reach base six times in her 31 innings and held opponents to 5-of-33 hitting with runners on base. It is the first weekly Ivy League honor of Onyon's career and she is the Big Red's first Pitcher of the Week in 2012.
Onyon's Weekly Stats

Penn freshman pitcher Alexis Borden (Yorba Linda, Calif.) posted five wins last week, including four complete game victories over Columbia that helped the Quakers take a share of the South Division title.
Borden pitched four innings of relief against Delaware on Wednesday to earn the win. She then pitched every inning of Penn's 4-0 weekend against Columbia. She allowed just one earned run in three of the Ivy games, and two in the other. All told, she allowed 23 hits and struck out 23 in her 28 total innings of work. She tossed a two-hitter and four-hitter versus Columbia in run-rule games. It is the fourth time she has been named the Ivy League Rookie of the Week this season (March 13, March 20, April 17). She was also named the League's Pitcher of the Week on April 3.

Thompson's on-base percentage of .571 ranks sixth and she is also the fourth-toughest batter in the nation to strikeout, as she has just two strikeouts in 107 at bats.
Harvard senior pitcher Rachel Brown checks in at sixth nationally with a 9.7 strikeouts per seven innings average, while she ranks third with a 3.78 hits per seven innings mark.
Dartmouth freshman pitcher Kristen Rumley ranks 12th with a 9.1 strikeouts per seven innings and her 0.97 walks per seven innings is the 10th-best mark in the country. Big Red senior Lauren Marx ranks tied for seventh in the nation with five saves on the year.
A New Home
Dartmouth Athletic Director Harry Sheehy along with head softball coach Rachel Hanson announced that the Dartmouth Softball Park, an on-campus facility, would play host to the team's home opener on Friday, April 6, which turned out to be a 1-0 win over Penn.
The $3.1 million project includes wrap around seating for 400 fans, sunken dugouts, bullpens, batting cages, press box, scoreboard and an artificial FieldTurf playing surface with superior drainage capacity. The team will use a locker room, training room and public restrooms that are already located within the Chase Field Complex. The new Dartmouth Softball Park will also have the capability to live stream all home softball games.
Ivy Title Talk
Dating back to 1980, the first season of Ivy League softball play, six Ivy teams have combined for 35 titles in the 32 seasons of play. Yale won the inaugural title in 1980, while Princeton leads the League with 17 titles. Cornell, Brown and Harvard each have five titles, followed by Yale (2) and Penn (1). In 2010, Cornell prevailed in Game 3 of the Championship Series over Harvard, 3-2, for its second title in as many seasons, before Harvard halted that streak by sweeping the Big Red in 2011.
The softball championship series, which pits the regular season champions of the North and South Divisions against each other, began in 2007. That season, Harvard defeated Penn in consecutive games to win the first Ivy League Championship Series. The Cimson have now represented the North in five of the six League Championships series (all but 2009 when Dartmouth won the North Divison).

The 17-Ivy Win Plateau
Since the Ivy schedule format change in 2007, a team has finished with 17 or more League wins six times and won its division on each of those six occasions. In 2008, Princeton set the record with an 18-2 mark en route to claiming the South Division title. In 2009, Cornell became the second team to crack the 17-Ivy win plateau with a 17-3 record to take the South Division. Then in 2010, both the North (Harvard) and South (Cornell) Division winners reached 17-wins. In 2011, Harvard tied for the most League wins all-time at 18-2 while becoming the fifth squad to win at least 17 Ivy games and win its division. The Crimson have followed up with a 17-3 mark in 2012.

- - Shrink Wrap or Custom Cover? (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/gear-maintenance/26502-shrink-wrap-custom-cover.html)
Shrink Wrap or Custom Cover?
This is my first season as a sailboat owner (1980 Sabre 28). I'd appreciate any comments on going with shrink wrap versus getting a custom cover made. From cursory research it appears a custom cover would be about 5 times more expensive than shrink wrap.
Cover choice
As a dealer, I always use shrink wrap because I never expect to keep the boat very long. Also, I don't have to do it myself.
For boats I own personally, I choose a custom cover, especially if I plan on keeping the boat for long enough to recover the cost of the cover.
If you're going to keep the boat more than five years, get the cover...since it will probably last more than five years, and will pay for itself in that time.
Is the cost of shrink-wrapping your boat each year going to go up or down? What happens when they add a $200 recycling fee, on top of that? The canvas covers we use for our boat have lasted ten years. Pay once, do it right and be done with it!
the first yr we had our boat it was shrink wrapped by the prev. owner. even with vents the boat was soaked all the time. every week i had to open the door for a day at least to alev. the prob. last winter i put on h/d silver poly tarps overlapped at the mast by 6'. had no prob what so ever with condensation at all. the reason was because i did not seal the overlap, and air could get under the tarp along the hull and pulpit. the only water that came in was around the mast and the stays. there really is no good way of sealing those areas unless you duck tape the hell out of those areas and then you have clean off the residue in the spring.
Check this site out for a better/cheaper solution. With proper rigging you can even work on your boat in the winter.
I like the custom cover. Mine is being made for about 3x the price of one shrinkwrapping. It is strong enough to shed a heavy snow load, ventilates the boat, gives me access during winter, and has a projected life of 10 years.
Tarps can be OK if you spend enough time building a secure frame, and if you can fasten them securely enough. I just took the easier route.

Hello all. I'm so very sorry I have been gone for a long time. Back down on earth, my meowmy has been through some tough times, but she is managing and has finally been able to get online and update my page fur me. I have been missing all my friends and you all are very dear to me. I promise we(me and my assistant aka meowmy), will get on more. I am also very sorry to my groups. But I am back, gang, and here to stay!!
Furgive me,
Angel Misty
Oh, my!! I got tagged by my friend Gidgit (Louie, my fiance's cousin)!! So now I can list five things that humans do that annoys me.
Five Things That Humans Do That Annoys Me
(1)- Feeding me nothing but dry food-My humans used to feed me wet food, but it made me sick. So they decided to feed me dry food instead.
(2)- Scolding me for scratching the furniture-Aw, come on humans! Scratching on things (like furniture, carpet, etc) is a natural thing for cats! People used to scold me for scratching things. That's ridiculous!
(3)- Never letting me out the door-When I sat at the front door sometimes, meowing to be let out, humans would often just ignore me or tell me that it's too dangerous for a house cat like me.
(4)- Getting another cat who takes their attention-I was the only cat for two years. And then one day, my humans unexpectedly brought a new kitten home. I was furious!
(5)- Leaving me alone at home on the weekends with that pesky kitten!-My humans left me alone on the weekends when they went out to the grocery store or something, and worst of all, they left me with that pesky kitten, now called Gemma or something.
OK, now I tag five friends to play.
1. Louie, my fiance
2. Mercedes
3. Jeremy
4. Boots
5. Lucy
Hello, every kittyfur. I just wanted to write this diary entry to let you know hwo much I love you all. I love your pages, sweethearts, and I love you. You're all just like sisters/brothers to me! Thank you for all your kindness and your welcoming gifts that you leave on my page. What would I have done if you never came on my page and asked me to be friends? My life wouldn't be the same, sweeties, if you weren't in it. I just want to thank you for being there for me when times were hard on us, with me passing away and all. I'm going to miss all of you, sweethearts, but don't be sad. We will meet again, someday at the lovely Rainbow Bridge. But for now, darlings, you can stay at your warm and cozy homes with your families to comfort you. Sweet dreams as you drop off to sleep tonite. We can talk in our dreams.....

COnsider g(x)=(8)/(x-6) on (6,13)
(a) Is this function continuous on the given interval? If it is continuous, type "continuous". If not, give the x -value where the function is not continuous.
Is is continous? If not? what interval then?
It depends on whether the round brackets surrounding your interval of (6,13) indicate that the numbers 6 and 13 are not included in the interval. The notation I'm familiar with uses square brackets to indicate that the numbers ARE included, and round brackets to indicate that they're NOT. On that basis, the interval (6,13) would NOT include the value 6, in which case the function is continuous over the given range. Had the interval read [6,13], to me this would mean that the interval DOES include 6, and that therefore the function is discontinuous at x=6 (since g(6)=8/0, which is undefined). Whether your brackets mean the same to you as they would to be I have no idea: you would need to check your definitions.

Help Diagnosing Noise
I have a new noise brewing from the alternator. Or at least right under or by it. It wavers and is gone however after running a short while then returns when I restart later in the day. Its been -20F lately and only about 10 above today here in Minnesota, so its possible its a temperature issue. It doesnt appear to be a bearing or anything immediate for failure as the sound is not rough nor do any of my electronics fail or waver anywhere. Looking for some insight or ideas to the whine, it could just be a belt but it didnt feel lose... Link below shows the issue and sound is clear luckily. thanks to all in advance.

Re: Help Diagnosing Noise
I dont have the benefit of speakers but a whine noise from the alternator can be it putting out more than normal amps to recharge a marginal battery. It will whine when first started to replenish the battery then quiet down once the battery is fully charged. I would have the battery load tested and if its ok, then I would have the alternator load tested next. In that extreme cold, I would expect some whine from the alternator when first started. Load testing will tell you the amp output from the alternator so you can compare what it should do vs what its actually doing. Load testing the battery will tell you how quickly it recovers from a max amperage load.

Ya thanks. It tapered off today when we made it to 14 degrees haha woo. I had guessed the recharge exertion but wanted second opinion. Glad I found one
Re: Help Diagnosing Noise
Boy, its sure been cold here in California as well, 40 degree nights and 55 degree days, with no rain nor wind!!!

Re: Help Diagnosing Noise
You might remove the belt long enough to spin the alternator by hand to check the bearings for noise etc. Might save you from a cold night on the road if it's starting to make bearing noise.

An SAS veteran has been locked up for two years after a gun and ammo was found in his garage at home.
The hero sergeant was pulled from secret operations in Helmand when armed police discovered the semi-automatic Glock pistol following a tip-off.
I am glade I don't live over there, they need to do someting to correct things like this

And they mock Romney......lol. Looks like Britain is gone. All those Americans that died for this result. You are on your own socialists and Romney must be the right choice for America.

That's disgusting. He is out actively defending your coutries interests, and you seek him out and arrest him because someone who had a beef with him tattled.
You are authorized to kill people using an assault weapon and drive a tank, and call down air strikes where you currently are stationed, but we are going to throw you in the brig for having a pistol back in storage. Nice.

If I were him, my response would be..."Yeah, right! Up yer bum wid dat, boyo... You think I'm gonna defend a country who wants me to protect her but won't let me protect myself? Bloody Pom Planks! I'll go become a Yank, no wonder we lost to 'em!"The soldier may still be allowed to continue his service once released.
As one commenter said (paraphrasing).. 'send him over here, I'll put him up'.. and I'll do one better.. .I'll sponsor him for citizenship... and Buy him a Glock and replace all the ammo he lost, too.
It could be worse!
I suppose
We have, and always will have, many veterans in our own jails. Folks break the law here all the time as well.
Not just concerning guns. While we should be lenient wherever possible, I'm sure our own vets would be
sentenced to jail time if they were found with a hollow point bullet in their possession in New Jersey.
What part of obeying the law where you are is so hard to understand. What part of accepting
punishment for something you deliberately did in violation of the law is not understood.
I'm sorry that the guy is in trouble. He put himself there. Don't blame their gun laws.
If the Union is once severed, the line of separation will grow wider and wider, and the controversies which are now debated and settled in the halls of legislation will then be tried in fields of battle and determined by the sword.

Somewhat similar to ours... but I wonder if the Queen has to approve the laws of England (as our President does)? If not, he broke no oath to his service... at least not directly.I... swear by Almighty God that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second, Her Heirs and Successors, and that I will, as in duty bound, honestly and faithfully defend Her Majesty, Her Heirs and Successors, in Person, Crown and Dignity against all enemies, and will observe and obey all orders of Her Majesty, Her Heirs and Successors, and of the generals and officers set over me. So help me God.
I'm sure the progeny of Benedict Arnold, who turned in the Sgt., is proud of his deed.
It could be worse!
I suppose
Hop, I was not mad at the police for doing their job, it was more incredulity and exasperation at the rediculousness of the sittuation.
But just because there is a law, does not make the law right or proper. This example just highlights how assinine their laws are.
Walk softly ...
You can play by the rules or not. If you decide not, then you have to brace yourself for the consequences. The US has many laws that I don't agree with but follow because its a losing battle not worth fighting. I wish the sergeant well and hope a US citizenship is in his future if that's what he wants.
I think the rest of SAS should decide to vacate their positions until this is corrected!

Personally, I don't see the problem. He knew the laws, he broke the laws, he pays the consequences, your occupation should have no effect what-so-ever on this issue.
Whether you agree with a law or not, you still need to follow them like all of us do. It's unfortunate the choice he made, but he consciously made it.
