Stephanie Howe going the extra miles
The first ultramarathon Stephanie Howe ever ran was the 2010 USA Track and Field 50K Nationals in Bend, Ore. She finished second.
"I signed up for it on a whim," said the 30-year-old, a former competitive Nordic skier at Northern Michigan. "I hadn't trained or even planned on running that far. Ever."
Howe found a new athletic strength, and she hasn't stopped running (much) since.
Currently pursuing her Ph.D. in exercise physiology at Oregon State, Howe is taking a break from her studies to take on the Ultra Race of Champions on Saturday in Vail, Colo. Over the course of 100K, she'll climb five mountains and more than 13,200 feet of elevation. She expects it to take about 10 hours.
She's a pre-race favorite, with one catch: This will be the first time she's run this race distance. Being a distance novice hasn't stopped her from standing on the podium before, though, so she's got that going for her -- and these other training secrets:
Stressed out
I had a stress fracture in my fibula this past spring and had to take three months off from running. I couldn't bike or swim, either, because that aggravated it. So I spent a ton of time on the elliptical machine, which was really hard for me. I'm so not an indoor workout person. But I brought my iPad and usually did an interval workout to pass the time.
Hit the mat
I try to get some yoga in whenever I can. I'm really bad at stretching, and yoga forces me to spend an hour taking care of my body. There's a strength aspect to practicing yoga too, but the body-mind connection is key.
No junk miles
For training, I focus on quality, not quantity. I don't just run miles to run them. A typical week for me is to have two intense shorter workouts (one speed-focused, one tempo-paced), one or two long runs, and recovery runs that are, at a maximum, 40 minutes long. I always take one day a week off, and I run on trails almost all of the time. I love the scenery and the fact that they don't pound my joints, like roads can.
And no junk food
As a nutritional consultant who works with a range of athletes, I'm here to say that there is no magic food. There are no magic diets. When people ask me about them, I want to bang my head. I recommend eating a lot of fruits and vegetables. Whole grains are great, and healthy fats, like nut butters, olive oil and avocados, are really important, too.
Fueling for the long run
During a race, I typically eat gels -- they're easiest for my stomach to absorb. When I race, it's really important to fuel every 20 to 30 minutes, starting from the beginning of the race. If you wait until you start to feel hungry, you're going to bonk. Starting early and staying consistent with nutrition pays off in the long run.
Finish line perspective
My main goal is to finish the race feeling good. I want to be relaxed through the race, and remember that I do this because I like it. When it gets tough, I like to remember that it's great to be an athlete, and it's great to compete.

1 comment:
Hey Daniel,ReplyDelete
I make videos about anything that is AMAZING on my YouTube channel called 'Be Amazed' (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkQO3QsgTpNTsOw6ujimT5Q).
I am planning on making a video called '10 Most AMAZING Lego Machines' and I was wondering if you are willing to grant me permission to talk about and edit footage of some of your creations (e.g. Lego Digital Clock) for commercial purposes? I plan on choosing one of your creations but I would like to also briefly mention that your channel has other awesome machines/creations. I will of course give you full credit and link your video in the description and as an annotation! Your channel is great and hopefully this will help somewhat as I expect that this sort of video will do VERY well. If you believe that I have left out any of your machines then please let me know. Please get back to me by emailing email@example.com. Many thanks,

Chase Headley market heating up; Dodgers, Pirates, Orioles among likely suitors
Padres switch-hitting third baseman Chase Headley is being pursued by at least seven teams.
The Chase Headley market remains hot, with the Dodgers, Pirates, Indians, Orioles, Diamondbacks and at least two other teams believed to have some level of interest in San Diego's switch-hitting third baseman.
The Padres don't have an aversion to trading within their division, but a touchy recent history (several of the respective teams' executives have switched teams) may make a trade a bit tricky between the Padres and D-Backs.
It shouldn't be a surprise Headley is popular considering the paucity of proven hitters on the trade market. The Padres don't have to trade him, but do have a top prospect, Jedd Gyorko, who seems ready to play third base in San Diego.
The Padres could keep Headley into the winter when the Braves, Reds and Phillies may join in the hunt for him. Those teams could have third-base openings to fill this winter.
In a weak hitting market Headley, 28, brings a lot of plusses. The switch hitter makes a reasonable $3.475 million and remains under team control through 2014. He has a career .811 OPS on the road (compared to .666 at PETCO Park), showing his hitting ability goes beyond his overall numbers. He has a .794 OPS overall this year, with eight homers, 41 RBI and a .271 batting average.

The 2012 Christophe Mérieux Prize was awarded to Dr Firdausi Qadri, Director of the 'Centre for Vaccine Sciences diseases', ICDDR, B in Dhaka, Bangladesh for her outstanding research on infectious enteric diseases, a scourge in developing countries.
Dr. Qadri seeks to understand and compare the immune responses induced by different vaccines against enteric diseases. It is based on three particular types of diseases: V. Cholerae, ETEC and Salmonella enterica.
The challenge is to improve medical and material prevention and accelerate the detection of these diseases in developing countries. After a field study conducted on children aged one year and more in an urban area of Bangladesh at high risk, an hypo-immune response to vaccine was observed for young children. The causes of this low response are related to nutritional factors that impact on health and immune responses.
Today, the challenges of research focus on new antigens that could stimulate protection, as well as new immunization strategies. This area of intervention is essential to public health in developing countries, where every year 200,000 to 300,000 children die of ETEC and 100,000 of cholera.

Why Carried Interest Should Not Be Taxed at Capital Gains Rates - US News
Private equity firms recruit investorspension funds, endowments, sovereign wealth funds, hedge funds, wealthy individualsfor an investment fund. The private equity fund is structured as a partnership in which the sponsoring private equity company is the general partner and the investors in the fund are limited partners. The investment fund acquires a portfolio of operating companies with the expectation that the fund will make a profitable exit from the investments in a few years. The general partner (the private equity firm) makes the decisions about which companies to buy, how they should be managed, and when they should be sold. The limited partners share in any gains (or losses), but do not have a say in decision-making. The private equity firm typically sponsors multiple special purpose private equity investment funds, each of which is structured as a separate partnership.
Firms that sponsor private equity funds operate on a "two and 20" model. They typically collect a flat 2 percent management fee on all money committed to the investment fund by the limited partners. The management fees cover the costs of managing the fund and its investments, including payments to members of the private equity firm for work they perform. The private equity firm that sponsors the fundthe general partner in the fundalso receives 20 percent of all investment profits once a hurdle rate of return has been achieved. The remaining profits are distributed to the limited partners in proportion to the capital that they invested in the fund and put at risk. The profits that are received by the private equity firm are referred to as carried interest. They are distributed to the partners in the private equity firm and taxed at the lower capital gains rate, currently 15 percent, not at the top personal income rate of 35 percent. (It is worth noting, as Paul Krugman does, that long-term capital gains were taxed at close to 30 percent from 1986 through 1997 when they were reduced to 20 percent; the current very low rates only started in 2003).
Private equity firms argue that the 20 percent of a private equity fund's profits that they earn are a return on the equity they have investedthe capital they have put at riskand should, therefore, be treated as capital gains and taxed at the lower rate.
Typically, however, a private equity firm contributes $1 to $2 to the private equity fund for every $100 the limited partners have invested in the fund. Thus, 1 to 2 percent of the fund's profits are a return on the private equity firm's investment in the fund; the remaining 18 percent is a form of profit sharing by the private equity firms' partners. As with other forms of performance-based pay, these earnings should be taxed as ordinary income and not at the 15 percent capital gains rate.

1. Can't say I agree.
Then again, I think capital gains should be taxed at a minimum of 30%.

2. Hmm
The author is arguing for carried interest to be taxed at the same rate as wages, which would mean most of it would be taxed at the 35% rate.

By Dennis Moore, USA TODAY
War is hell — and not just on the battlefield.
Inspired by a diary kept by the grandmother of a friend, Chris Bohjalian (Midwives, The Double Bind) in his latest novel re-creates an aristocratic Prussian family's flight on foot toward the Allied lines as the Third Reich crumbles in the winter of 1945.
The Emmerichs, who start out as Nazi sympathizers, join thousands of refugees desperate to save themselves from the advancing Red Army. The Russians rape, torture and sadistically murder in ways detailed so graphically that sometimes it's difficult to continue reading.
Soon after the evacuation begins, Rolf Emmerich and son Helmut join a German army counteroffensive, leaving the mother, Mutti, 18-year-old Anna and little Theo to undertake a months-long journey. Reading Bohjalian's descriptions of terror and tragedy on the road has just as much impact as seeing newsreels from the end of World War II.
The remaining family members fear the German soldiers almost as much as the Russians, because in one of their wagons they hide the Scottish POW Callum, who had been dispatched from a Nazi prison camp to work on the family farm and now is Anna's lover.
Joining them unexpectedly — and helping them stay alive — is Manfred, a uniformed German mysteriously detached from his Wehrmacht unit. He's actually Uri, a Jew who two years earlier jumped from a train headed for the Auschwitz gas chambers.
While creating suspense, Bohjalian agilely balances the moral ambiguities of war.
Even though while living on their estate Mutti reveres Hitler and she and Anna choose to remain ignorant of mistreatment of the Jews, they are sympathetic characters. They eventually earn salvation through their own suffering.
While Uri tries to save his sister, who also was dispatched to the death camp, he becomes a relentless and remorseless killer, taking on the identities of the German soldiers he shoots.
Right and wrong shift depending on the situation. Ignorance is tolerated and murder is justified. But Bohjalian does posit that one absolute exists: No one wins at war.

Paul Hartal
Biography of Paul Hartal
A man of many Odysseys, Paul Hartal is a Canadian poet, writer and artist born in Szeged, Hungary. His volume of cognitive and lyric poems, The Sinuosity of Straight Passions, was published in 2013 by Finishing Line Press (Georgetown, KY) . The author's books include Postmodern Light (poetry,2006) , Love Poems (2004) , The Brush and the Compass (1988) , Painted Melodies (1983) , A History of Architecture (1972) and The Kidnapping of the Painter Miró (novel,1997,2001) . The latter has also been published in Chinese translation by the Commercial Press of Taiwan in 2014.
In 1975 Paul Hartal published in Montreal A Manifesto on Lyrical Conceptualism. Lyco Art is a new element on the periodic table of aesthetics, which intertwines the logic of passion with the passion of logic. In 1980 the Lyrical Conceptualist Society hosted the First International Poetry Exhibition in Montreal. A few years later Hartal formed the Centre for Art, Science and Technology, which Clifford Pickover describes in Mazes for the Mind as a network that "facilitates the exchange of ideas between various domains of human knowledge".
In 1978 Hartal exhibited his paintings at the Musée du Luxembourg and the Raymond Duncan Gallery in France and his canvas Flowers for Cézanne won the Prix de Paris. He also presented his oeuvre in museums and galleries in New York, Montreal, Budapest, as well as many other places. Representing Canada, his work was featured at the cultural events of the 1988 Seoul Olympics.
An explorer of global habitats and cultures, Hartal has traveled through Europe, North-America, Argentina, Australia, China, Japan and Korea. His research interests focus on the connectivity of art, mathematics and science. He has been involved in interdisciplinary symmetry studies and in 1994 NASA invited him to participate in visionary space exploration projects.
In the 1970s the poet attended Concordia University in Montreal and wrote a thesis on Aesthetics and History. He also holds degrees from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Columbia Pacific University (1986) . CPU was an innovative school in San Rafael, state approved and supervised by the Department of Education in California. Hartal's dissertation, The Interface Dynamics of Art and Science was published by University Press of America under the title, The Brush and the Compass (New York,1988) . The interdisciplinary periodical Ylem published excerpts from the book. Vie des Arts and The Montreal Mirror described it as a 'thought-provoking work bridging art and science'. The volume also generated wide interest overseas.
As a student at the University of Medicine in Szeged, Hartal participated in the 1956 Hungarian Revolution. A few months later he burnt all his poems and papers and escaped to freedom.
Horace long ago observed that by implication all poetry is didactic: It aims to instruct and delight. Paul Hartal approaches poetry from a different angle; embracing the credo that the heart of poetry is the poetry of the heart. A recurring theme of his recent work explores the human tragedies of wars and genocides. He is not a newcomer to the field. In March 1944 German troops occupied Hungary and the future poet at eight years of age was imprisoned in the Nazi concentration camp of Strasshof in Austria. He was liberated by the Russians a year later.
Writing about the Shoah experience is a gloomy and difficult task. Indeed, the philosopher Theodor Adorno once remarked that writing poetry after Auschwitz is not only barbaric but even impossible. Yet Hartal begs to differ. In his opinion, after Auschwitz we require even more poetry than before. Poetry precipitates catharsis. Poetry heals the soul. We need to extract light from the core of darkness, he says. We need poetry to commemorate and to remember the victims; to denounce the villains. We need poetry to solemnize magnanimous acts of sacrifice. We need the magic power of verse, extolling heroes, honoring courage and compassion.

Aspiring Connections
If I could earn a living doing what I loved most, there is no question in my mind that the one thing that I am the most passionate about is creative writing. Writing has always been something that I have held close to my heart since I first discovered that I had a knack for it in high school.
I see creative writing as skillfully written sentences stitched together in a magnificent web of never-ending story lines that can leave anybody enchanted with the power of a good novel. I am very confident that writing can change a person's life. A book may not exactly catch people's attention at first, but if they give it a chance and just read the introduction paragraph, there could be an instant connection. I think that is what writing is all about: being able to connect with an audience through insightful tales created by wild imaginations. The link between a reader and a novel could make anyone view the world in a different, even more optimistic way.
To make my dream into a reality, attending college would be my best chance to pursue my goal. It would provide a way for me to strive academically and learn all that I can about honing my writing skills into a successful career. It would be a very fortunate opportunity to do what I love the most and if I could do that, perhaps I could change the world with my aspiring words.

OT: Hunley news: Monday, May 7, 2001
Number of sailors cranking revised
Archaeologists still think there were nine sailors on submarine
Saturday, May 5, 2001
Of The Post and Courier staff
The manpower that drove the Hunley apparently was not as strong as originally
thought. Instead of eight cranking Confederates, there were seven.
Archaeologists still believe nine sailors were on board the sub, but there
appear to be only seven hand positions for the Hunley's hand-turned propeller
And in another design enlightenment, the propeller shaft doesn't run the
length of the crew compartment, as previously thought. The shaft stops at an
area near the forward hatch.
The remaining space is taken up by an air bellows, a leather and wood bag
that, when pumped, circulated breathable air through the sub via two snorkel
pipes protruding from the top deck. The eighth man was apparently assigned to
the air pump full time. "We were greatly surprised that the crank ended at
Grid Two (near the front hatch)," project manager Bob Neyland said at a press
conference Friday.
The shaft is connected to the starboard (right) wall of the sub's interior by
a series of brackets. The crew, meanwhile, apparently all sat on the left
side while they cranked the sub. The shaft apparently is connected to
cranking gears at the rear of the sub that bring the momentum back to center
and to the propeller. The sub's speed probably didn't suffer as a result of
having only seven men to power it, Neyland said, adding that historical
records show the sub made a speed of 4-5 knots.
Hunley Commission Chairman Glenn McConnell said the bellows could play a key
role in determining how the sub sank, which still remains a mystery. About
three-quarters of the sub has been excavated so far, but not the area forward
of the front hatch where sub commander Lt. George Dixon would have been
More insight about life aboard the sub was also disclosed Friday.
Archaeologists have found another canteen inside, the bottom base of a wax
candle and a second pencil. The excavation is still weeks from completion.
The excavation team now is looking for ways to remove the bellows so they can
get to the forward section where Dixon's remains are believed to be. The team
spent Friday afternoon X-raying the area. The remains of eight Hunley
sailors have been discovered so far.

Arizona's biggest football challenges lie ahead, against teams with national rankings and home-field advantages and little numbers next to their names on the Bottom Line ticker.
A reality check is certainly coming, maybe as soon as next weekend.
For now, though, the Arizona Wildcats can revel in the fact that they're undefeated. Why quibble over the quality of opponents?
Quarterback Matt Scott threw for 288 yards and three touchdowns Saturday as No. 24 Arizona routed tiny South Carolina State 56-0 at Arizona Stadium. The Wildcats gained 689 yards, two short of the school record of 691 gained against New Mexico in 1969.
Saturday's victory improves Arizona's record to 3-0, ahead of the modest expectations first-year coach Rich Rodriguez set before the season. The Wildcats are halfway to bowl eligibility and flawless through nonconference play for just the second time in a decade.
It might not last: Arizona will open Pac-12 play against defending Rose Bowl champion Oregon next week, then face Oregon State and Stanford before taking its bye week.
Scott praised his team's ability to deliver Saturday in front of 43,919 fans, but said the Wildcats "won't be too excited about this win" given what lies ahead.
"We'll come back next week and get ready for Oregon," he said.
Arizona buzzed past SCSU by scoring in bunches and relying on its flawed but functional defense to make stops. The result was predictable: Arizona's 56-point win is its largest since the Wildcats routed Idaho 70-0 on Aug. 31, 2008. Saturday's game marked the Wildcats' first shutout since that day.
Arizona may have crushed the Division I FCS (formerly Div. I-AA) program, but it was far from perfect. Wide receiver Richard Morrison fumbled as the UA drove in the first quarter; after the Wildcats got the ball back, John Bonano missed a 25-yard field goal attempt.
As the UA cleaned things up, the points came. Taimi Tutogi, Ka'Deem Carey and Scott all scored second-quarter touchdowns, giving the Wildcats a 28-0 lead at the half. Dan Buckner caught a 27-yard touchdown pass and Daniel Jenkins ran 5 yards for a score in the third, extending the lead.
By the start of the fourth quarter, Scott was on the sideline and backup B.J. Denker was in. The self-described "Vanilla Vick" promptly led the team on a 14-play, 87-yard scoring drive. The Wildcats scored on his second series, too, extending the lead to 56-0.
Arizona's margin of victory, however, was secondary to larger things.
The Wildcats suffered no major injuries Saturday, though receiver Terrence Miller (shoulder) will be monitored over the next few days. Scott was stellar again Saturday, completing 30 of 36 passes for 288 yards and three touchdowns. He also ran nine times for 61 yards and a score.
Jenkins led the Wildcats with 76 rushing yards on 12 carries, and Buckner caught six passes for 85 yards and a touchdown.
"It felt good," Jenkins said, "to get the wheels oiled up."
The Wildcats' defense limited the Bulldogs (1-2) to just 151 yards on 53 plays.
"As a defense, we look to shut out every opponent," safety Jourdon Grandon said. "To go out and get that first one in a couple years, it feels pretty good."
Said linebacker Marquis Flowers: "That just lets you know we have pride, and we're going to keep fighting."
Most importantly, Arizona was able to develop a little depth Saturday night.
The fourth quarter was a who's-who of who's-hes: Wide receiver Sean Willet caught a touchdown pass, and running back Jared Baker punched in a 4-yard scoring run late. Tight end Dame Ndiaye and guard Jowyn Ward both debuted new numbers and positions. Defensive end Dan Pettinato and linebackers Hank Hobson and Dakota Conwell all made their season debuts after missing the first two weeks with injuries.
And, in a once-in-a-lifetime moment, Arizona's Chris Merrill tackled South Carolina State running back Chris Merrill after the latter ran for a 2-yard gain.
Across the country, Arizona's résumé improved: Oklahoma State and Toledo both won big in their games. Take away their losses to Arizona, and the Cowboys and Rockets are a combined 4-0 this season and have outscored their opponents 210-70.
And while Rodriguez called the looming showdown with Oregon "huge," the Wildcats weren't too proud Saturday to revel in a rare easy win.
"It counts as one, right?" Rodriguez said.

The Internet has given new life to a lot of old scams, and perhaps one reason is that the institutions that should be fighting the hucksters don't always understand what's going on. That's certainly what one reader experienced when he tried to report an obvious check overpayment fraud to HSBC, the bank the phony check was drawn on.
"As a serious user of Craigslist and eBay, I'm pretty conscious of Internet fraud and the old advance fee check scams," the reader wrote. "So when I sold an item on Craigslist for $75 and a check for $2,150 arrived, I knew I was dealing with a fake check. That's not unusual, or even disturbing. It's expected. What was not expected was the response I received when trying to report this fraud."
Typically in check overpayment scams, the counterfeit check is drawn on a real account and may pass muster with the bank long enough for the seller to cash it. It's only later, after the seller has wired the excess amount to the soon-to-disappear buyer, that the check proves fake and the seller is left liable for the whole amount. In this case the reader knew better than to cash the check or send his item to the scammer's address in Downey, California, but he thought he should report it to the institutions involved.
"The check was drawn against HSBC bank," the reader wrote. "I called their support line and explained the situation. They told me to deposit the check and see if it cleared. I asked 'Let me get this straight. I know the check is fake. You know it's fake. Yet you are telling me to deposit it and commit a felony?' 'Well sir,' they said 'we can't tell you if it's fake or not until you deposit it.' 'I know it's fake. I've told you it's fake. Someone is creating counterfeit checks drawn on your bank.' 'Sir, we can't know that until you deposit it.' Pathetic."
The reader then tried to report the fraud to the company whose account information was faked on the check - a New York City foreign exchange dealer, not all of whom are above suspicion themselves. "I was told pretty much the same thing by them - I should go ahead and try to cash it. What the heck is going on? Supposedly these people are concerned with check fraud and theft, yet they tell me to break the law by trying to cash a fake check!"
The reader tried e-mailing Craigslist about the situation but with little expectation that they would respond. "No reply from Craigslist. They have so much of this that they rely on their FAQ pages to handle it. I received 17 e-mails on this listing -- 14 were from obvious scammers. The only company that has shown any interest was UPS, as the check was sent via UPS overnight. But I'm not holding my proverbial breath. My guess is that the scammer is avoiding the USPS to avoid action by the postal inspectors."
The reader regards the lack of responsibility displayed by HSBC and others with dismay. "When I asked the HSBC rep if they would be willing to work with me and cover my bounced check fees, guess what I was told? That any fees were between me and the person who sent the check. Huh? Hello? I hung up in disgust. I spent almost an hour on the phone with the bank and the rep for the foreign exchange outfit. Neither really gave a damn. Now I'm wondering who's the bigger fool -- the person who falls for these scams, or the person who tries to fight back."

I'm getting Liposuction on my abdominal area. After I had two children, I have a bit of wrinkles on my skin. I don't have loose skin hanging when I'm standing but when I bending over it sort of hangs. Do I need skin excision or should I only get Lipo first then see if I need the skin excision procedure after?
Liposuction with Skin Excision?
Doctor Answers 2
A tummy tuck is the way to go
Most women have significant changes in their abdominal wall as the result of child bearing. Like you, many of these women are seeking ways to correct these changes. Usually we see loose or excess skin, muscle separation, and some increase in the layer of fat beneath the skin. Liposuction will only address the fat content of the abdominal wall. And, unfortunately, it will make loose skin even looser. So this is probably not going to give you the results you want.
Truthfully, there is no way to tighten loose skin short of surgically removing it. There have been many things that have been tried, including laser technologies, but none of these have made a significant difference. So, to treat your tummy, you need to have this skin removed by an abdominoplasty, also known as a tummy tuck.
In the past most tummy tucks have not done much to decrease the fat layer. However, many surgeons like myself are employing a technique known as a lipoabdominoplasty, which allows skin removal with significant fat reduction as well. This technique was developed by our colleagues in Brazil (and France) and is now being done by many plastic surgeons in the this county. About three years ago I have adopted this technique for almost all of my abdominplasties. And, I think the results are much better than with traditional abdominplasty.
The traditional abdominoplasty is excellent at skin removal, and repair of the rectus abdominis muscles (the sit up muscles) which become separated during pregancies. However, little or no liposuction was peformed because this could significantly interfere with the healing of the skin. However, the lipoabdominplasty is done is such a way that a significant amount of fat can be removed with liposuction, and not affect the healing process.
So, in your case, if you just have liposuciton alone it's a pretty good bet that this skin of your abdomen will be looser that it is already. Your best result in terms of improving the contour of your abdomen will be with a lipoabdominplasty.
Liposuction and Skin Excision
Following pregnancy, weight fluctuations or the inevitable aging process, the abdominal skin can go through a cycle of stretching, relaxing, stretching, relaxing, etc... Determining the amount of skin elasticity (think of a rubber band pulled and bouncing back. Sometimes, if the rubber band has been used many times it loses its ability to bounce back) is crucial in choosing the appropriate procedure.
Your surgeon will assess your abdominal area and determine whether you simply need excess fat removed or if you would need loose skin or a bulging muscle addressed as well. Liposuction alone can address the excess fat, however, if your skin has lost its ability to 'spring back' then you may be left with loose, hanging skin. This can be addressed by a tummy tuck procedure which will also tighten the stomach muscles and can be complemented by liposuction as well.
When you bend over, the skin will often fold on itself which is not necessarily an indication for removal of this 'apparent' skin excess. Trust your surgeon's judgment and remember that when you bend over, skin will fold whether its loose or tight.

The collaborative project is currently in the works and will be released at the end of this year or in early 2015.
Ed Sheeran and The Game are joining forces for a collaborative album. The rapper announced the news in a new interview with MTV, saying that he and the British redhead had started recording new tracks for the joint record.
"I'm working on a joint album with Ed Sheeran that we trying to drop probably end of the year, beginning of 2015," he told the site. He went on revealing how the unusual collaboration started, saying, "It happened with a tweet."
"He tweeted something about 'Jesus Piece', I responded, we exchanged numbers on the DM, and then we got in the studio," he continued. Game and Sheeran initially planned to record just one song, but they " ended up doing like seven."
"Ed came up with the idea to start working on a joint album, and we started doing it," Game added. "That was like in five hours. We was just going. He was on that guitar. Acoustically, he's a genius, man, so when he does that, what comes out of me is songs like 'Dreams' and 'Hate It or Love It' and 'My Life'. The songs that we got, they're real songs. And I can't wait for people to hear 'em."
The joint album will be preceded by the arrival of Sheeran's second solo album, "X", which is set to hit the stores on June 23. As for Game, he's now working on "Blood Moon", a compilation album for his Blood Money Entertainment imprint. The record is scheduled to be released in the coming months, while its lead single that's produced by DJ Mustard will be dropped in May.
The Los Angeles MC is also preparing his next solo album, which is currently still untitled.

Interview: The All American Rejects
We speak to Tyson as their UK tour gets underway about the new album and horny British fans.
We took a phone call from Tyson, frontman of The All American Rejects a week or so back, as they were just getting started with their mini UK tour...
Tyson: Hey, what's up man?
Rocklouder: Hey Tyson, thanks for giving us a call. So you guys are in the UK now then?
T: Yeah, been here for 3 days now. First show is tonight in Glasgow.
RL: Awesome. What venue are you at tonight?
T: We're playing The Gararge, or is it Garage?
RL: Ummm, either! Either is good.
T: I've been corrected many a time over here...
RL: Are these the first shows you've played anywhere for the new album?
T: Yeah, we've actually only incorporated about 2 new songs into the show in the States, but now we're actually gonna be playing, I think, 4 new ones over here. So you guys will be getting the most of it.
RL: Awesome. How do you enjoy the UK generally for shows... how do the crowds compare to the States?
T: They're rabid! They're totally more... It's weird, I always like to use this illustration because it seems to make sense for people, but it's like The Killers in the States sort of have this non-commercial push and we're a little bit more of a commercially viable band. But over here it seems that we sort of switch roles with them, and they're the commercial ones. You know what I mean?
RL: Yeah, well you've got such a huge following back home...
T: Yeah, it's crazy, but over here the fans have stuck with us in a different sense, 'cause we still get to be some kids secrets, you know what I mean?
RL: You've got the following but without the mainstream attention...
T: Exactly! We're not as commercial in this country, so I think it helps make the fans attach themselves to us even more. I love it, because in the States you've got the 'flavour of the week' fans, but here you've got the kids that made sure they could find your CD 3 months before it came out over here and they're just 10 times hornier.
RL: We were just trying to remember before you called, the last time you were here... was it Give It A Name in 2007?
T: It was a while... yeah, I think it was the Give It A Name thing, the last time we were here.
RL: So you were touring 'Move Along' for quite a while...
T: We did man, we did about 2 and a half years.
RL: And it's down what, like 2 million copies now?
T: Yeah, we did 2 million in the States, and I dunno what we did over here, but it was our most successful record yet and we're really stoked about that.
RL: So was there time off between the touring of that album and hitting the studio or writing for the new one?
T: We don't have lives, so we got straight down into writing. You know, there's really nothing for us in the real world, so we jumped right off the road. We took about 4 weeks off to just collect ourselves and dust our houses, and then we left again to go write.
RL: When and where did you record the album?
T: We recorded it in Los Angeles at Barefoot Recording with Eric Valentine.
RL: So he's done stuff like 'Prophets and Good Charlotte before, right?
T: Yeah, he's done Lostprophets, he did the that big Third Eye Blind record, he did Queens Of The Stone Age, he did the Foo Fighters...
RL: So is he someone you've been wanting to work with for a while?
T: Well we didn't really know it at the time as we were kind of hesitant... I wasn't a super fan of the Good Charlotte thing, but I love the way that the record sounds. I thought that record did sound huge. I was like, you know what, I gotta let that go 'cause the guy did Queens Of The Stone Age, and he did Third Eye Blind. I thought that record was really, really good.
RL: Was that the first Third Eye Blind record?
T: Yeah, the first record. And I think that the eclectic nature that he has suits us. We're like the band that people don't really get, in the sense that they don't really know where we're coming from just yet. People try to lump us into the scene, but I definitely think we stand out of the scene. It was a perfect marriage that we never knew we were gonna be in.
RL: Awesome. So how long were you in the studio with him for?
T: We did about 7 months.
RL: Wow...
T: Yeah! We cut about 98% of it to tape, which was the biggest labour of love...
RL: Did you record the previous albums on tape?
T: Yeah, we did bass and drums a little bit to tape before, just to fatten it up, but we wanted this organic sound. We wanted to use as many real instruments as possible with very minimal programming, and we wanted to make a real sounding record and I think we achieved it. He's a really great engineer.
RL: Talking about the release of it, this record's out on Interscope in the States. Is there any Doghouse tie in at all anymore?
T: Yeah, this is our last Doghouse record actually. We put our vinyl out with them, and this will be the last Doghouse record.
RL: We talked about it briefly before, but it's like you've got the following here but not in a commercial, mainstream sense. The single 'Gives You Hell' has been getting some Radio 1 airplay...
T: Yeah, it's different this time. The label seems to notice us this time a little bit more. We kinda got lost in the shuffle a couple of times. Either way though, as long as the kids show up, we didn't really care. We just got A list again, or something, on Radio 1, which was great. I was really surprised to see that as we haven't got love from them since 'Swing Swing' I think.
RL: We caught them playing 'Gives You Hell' a few weeks back in the car and they seemed to be introducing you as a new band...
T: Yeah, weird innit! It's like 'new band... Ok!' The single has being doing alright for us though, I'm really excited to see people embracing a different sound from us.
RL: Are there plans yet for what the next single is gonna be? 'I Wanna' seems the obvious choice off the album...
T: Yeah, the next one will be 'I Wanna'.
RL: And what's the plans after this tour? We did hear a rumour you were to headline the Honda Civic Tour and that had been cancelled?
T: Yeah, it's weird. It's the economic crisis man, crazy. But we're still making a car with them and they're still gonna support the tour, it's just not gonna be the full blown thing.
RL: Great, well thanks for talking with us. Are we gonna be seeing you back over here anytime soon for a full tour or festivals?
T: I'm sure you guys will see us in the summer here.
...and with that we let Tyson run along to soundcheck. 'Gives You Hell' is released as single this week in the UK.Jack James Solero

Steps Toward Online Freedom of Information
This talk explores the problem space of censorship resistance, with the
explicit goal of designing censorship-resistant systems and protecting
their users from powerful adversaries who control much of the common
network (i.e. Internet). We will discuss some recent work in the field,
and focus on two systems in greater depth -- one that provides
membership concealment (MCON), i.e. hides the real-world identities of
participants, and another that builds upon the first to provide robust
content storage (CROPS).
The fundamental requirement of censorship resistance is content
availability and discoverability -- it should be easy for users to find
and access documents. At the same time, participating storage providers
should be unaware of what they are storing to preserve plausible
deniability, but how do we maintain a searchable index of content for
users and yet hide it from storage providers? One possible solution is
to separate file data, metadata, and encryption keys such that someone
searching for information about a specific topic can retrieve all three
components and reconstruct the file, but someone who only stores at most
two components can neither determine the nature of the file content nor
locate the missing component. Combined with a membership concealing
layer, this storage system design is censorship resistant and
exceptionally robust to failure, providing 99.99998666% reliability even
if 70% of participants have left or failed.

Subject: James A Ivie of Utah
Date: Wed, 25 Apr 2001 18:15:27 -0700
Hi Everyone
I just got ahold of this biography of James A Ivie, of Scipio, and later
Salina, Utah, and found it very interesting. Since there is nothing else
going on on the list, I thought I'd share it, and see if there are any
other James A Ivie descendents out there. I'd love to compare notes. He
is my ggggrandfather by second wife Sarah West.
I hope this is not thought to be "off-subject". I'd really love to see
more FAMILY HISTORY on the list, even if it is not my line.
Ivie Family of Utah http://len.accessgenealogy.com
Written by James Oscar Ivie
Edited for the Ivie List by Len Evans
Part 1
The following brief sketch of James A. Ivie is submitted in
response to a request in the church section of the Deseret News of June
7, 1941, on page 8, item No. 83 and signed D.I.H.
James Alexander Ivie was born in Paris, Monroe County, Missouri,
on March 17, 1830. He was the third son and the fourth child of James
Russell Ivie and Eliza McKse Faucett.
James Russell was the son of John Anderson Ivie, and he in turn
the son of Anderson Ivie, who came from, or lived in Tennessee and North
Carolina. The first of the family known in America was Thomas lvey, who
is known to have been in America and living in Virginia in 1635. Many
branches of the family still use the original spelling. Tradition states
that a school teacher in Tennessee suggested the change to "Ivie."
One early incident in the life of James Alexander, better known
in this inter-mountain region within our family circle as "Uncle Jim",
was when Parley P. Pratt escaped from Liberty Jail in Missouri. Elder
Pratt had prayed that if any family should recognize him, that it would
be one who was friendly and trustworthy. Uncle Jim and my grandfather,
John Lehi, were playing out in front when Elder Pratt approached and they
immediately recognized him. He was taken into the house, fed, sheltered
and assisted at night by the father of the family to escape from the
state. Uncle Jim had a new homemade straw hat which he gave to Elder
Pratt, as the latter had arrived from the prison hatless.
The family subsequently moved to Nauvoo, Illinois and went through
the persecutions incidental to that periodthe father, James Russell,
being one of the bodyguards of the Prophet Joseph Smith. When the saints
were finally driven out of the state and made for the West the Ivie
family was among them. They were at Winter Quarters when a couple of the
older boys joined the Mormon Battalion. Jim and John, being in their
teens, were too young to enlist. But the family did not arrive in Utah
until 1848, crossing the plains a year after the first company.
They went down to Utah County where Uncle Jim married Elizabeth
Sophia Porter on November 14, 1849. The record shows that five children,
Lydia Ann, James William, John Alvin, Joseph Alma, and Mary Elizabeth
were born between then and November 3, 1857. Seven other children were
born to this union: Celestia Jane, Eliza, Charles Albert, Lilly Isadore,
Frank, Willis, and Alice.
Another family, through a second marriage to Sarah West, brought
forth Sarah, Henry, Jared Alexander, Mina, Laura, Amy Louise, Russell,
Belle, Samuel, and LaFelt. The records show that the first two were born
at Provo, the birth date of Sarah being February 7, 1858.

The original Toronto Island Airport terminal is set to be restored and re-opened as a new public space, including a restaurant, aviation museum, and event space.
A group of private investors, represented by advertising executive Alexander Younger, announced plans Tuesday to fund the restoration of the 75-year-old building – now known as "Terminal A." The project will include collaborations with several high-profile partners: interior designers and HGTV personalities Sarah Richardson and Tommy Smythe will oversee the renovation of the space, while celebrity chefs Lynn Crawford and Lora Kirk have signed on to provide culinary services.
Mr. Younger – an avid pilot himself who has been flying out of Billy Bishop Airport since the 1980s – said he first approached the Toronto Port Authority (which runs the island airport ) four years ago, when the new terminal was built and Terminal A decommissioned.
The white clapboard structure was built in 1939, and features giant windows and a large control tower. The building, currently sitting on concrete blocks just off the runway, will require extensive renovations –especially on the interior, where entire rooms are blocked off with "caution" tape, and walls feature peeling paint, crumbling drywall, and giant holes. Mr. Younger would not say how much the project would cost, but said he hoped it would be completed by the spring of 2016.
"It's a glorious building, and it has one of the best views in the City of Toronto," Mr. Younger said. "It's the ultimate win-win – access for general aviation, a great new venue for the City of Toronto, and a nice destination for tourists."
Mr. Younger's plans would see the Terminal A building moved about 100 metres east of its existing location, making it accessible from the Hanlan's Point ferry. The restored building would feature a restaurant – possibly run by Ms. Crawford and Ms. Kirk – an art gallery, and an aviation museum. The building would also be used as an event space to host weddings and other private functions.
Ms. Richardson, who has hosted a number of interior decorating television shows (and is married to Mr. Younger), said the building has "incredible potential," and that she's excited it would give Toronto residents another reason to visit the islands. Mr. Younger said that they also plan on filming the restoration of the building, and have been in talks with major networks about developing a new television series based on the project.
"As designers, we start out any project scoping out the raw space and imagining what it could become," Ms. Richardson said. "It has fantastic spaces, it has fantastic vistas and sightlines from where it sits now, and that can only take another step up and get even better."
And Ms. Crawford, who has starred in several shows on Food Network Canada, called the partnership "an absolute joy."
"To have the opportunity to work in one of the most gorgeous buildings that I've ever seen – and has so much great potential, with that view of the city – it will be one of the best things that's ever happened to the City of Toronto."
TPA president Geoffrey Wilson said Tuesday that the restoration itself would be entirely funded by the private sector. "We anticipate to play a landlord-tenant type of role in this project," he said. "The project is being entirely funded by the private sector, and there is no public money going into the restoration of this building."
Deputy Mayor Norm Kelly also attended the announcement, where he commended the TPA and partners for preserving the heritage building. "I would've expected it would've been easier and cheaper to tear the building down," he said. "However, this new arrangement will create an exciting new opportunity on the island."Report Typo/Error

Connecting the Disconnected: Improving Education and Employment Outcomes Among Disadvantaged Youth
In this paper we will briefly review recent trends in employment outcomes for disadvantaged youth, focusing specifically on those who have become "disconnected" from school and the labor market, and why these trends have occurred. We then review a range of policy prescriptions that might improve those outcomes. These policies include: 1) Efforts to enhance education and employment outcomes, both among in-school youth who are at risk of dropping out and becoming disconnected as well as out-of-school youth who have already done so; 2) Policies to increase earnings and incent more labor force participation among youth, such as expanding the eligibility of childless adults (and especially non-custodial parents) for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC); and 3) Specific policies to reduce barriers to employment faced by ex-offenders and non-custodial parents (NCPs). We also consider policies that target the demand side of the labor market, in efforts to spur the willingness of employers to hire these young people and perhaps to improve the quality of jobs available to them.

Despite its discovery over 30 years ago, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) continues to threaten public health worldwide. Semen is the principal vehicle for the transmission of this retrovirus and several endogenous peptides in semen, including fragments of prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP248-286 and PAP85-120) and semenogelins (SEM1 and SEM2), assemble into amyloid fibrils that promote HIV infection. For example, PAP248-286 fibrils, termed SEVI (Semen derived Enhancer of Viral Infection), potentiate HIV infection by up to 105-fold. Fibrils enhance infectivity by facilitating virion attachment and fusion to target cells, whereas soluble peptides have no effect. Importantly, the stimulatory effect is greatest at low viral titers, which mimics mucosal transmission of HIV, where relatively few virions traverse the mucosal barrier. Devising a method to rapidly reverse fibril formation (rather than simply inhibit it) would provide an innovative and urgently needed preventative strategy for reducing HIV infection via the sexual route. Targeting a host-encoded protein conformer represents a departure from traditional microbicidal approaches that target the viral machinery, and could synergize with direct antiviral approaches. Here, we review the identification of these amyloidogenic peptides, their mechanism of action, and various strategies for inhibiting their HIV-enhancing effects.
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) causes acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) and has killed more than 25 million people [
Proteolytic cleavage of prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP). Full-length PAP, a protein present at high concentrations in semen, undergoes proteolysis to form peptide fragments PAP85-120 and PAP248-286. These peptide products readily aggregate and assemble into amyloid fibrils in seminal fluid. Amyloid fibrils formed from PAP248-286 are termed SEVI (Semen-derived Enhancer of Viral Infection).
To isolate natural agents involved in the sexual transmission of HIV, Münch and colleagues created a library comprising all peptides and small proteins derived from human seminal fluid and screened this library for enhancers and inhibitors of HIV infection [
Unexpectedly, Münch
The misfolding of proteins into a generic amyloid structure is a recurring facet of diverse neurodegenerative diseases [
Semen derived Enhancer of Viral Infection (SEVI) amyloid fibrils augment HIV infectivity. In the non-amyloid form, soluble PAP248-286 has no effect on HIV infectivity, and electrostatic repulsion between the membranes of HIV virions and target cells limits the ability of virions to interact with target cells (left). Once assembled into amyloid fibrils, SEVI's network of positive charges neutralizes this electrostatic repulsion, and SEVI fibrils capture HIV virions to promote cell attachment and fusion, thereby enhancing HIV infectivity (right).
The highly unanticipated role of SEVI in viral infection has opened a new window of opportunity. If we can inhibit the formation of SEVI amyloid fibrils, block their infection promoting properties, or even rapidly dissolve these fibrils, then we can drastically reduce HIV infection via the sexual route. Thus far, several agents have been identified that fall into each of these classes of anti-SEVI compounds. While this section focuses on agents that counteract SEVI's effects, it should be noted that additional amyloid fibrils, which also augment HIV infection, have recently been identified [
Ultimately, agents that effectively block the ability of semen-derived amyloid to promote HIV infection might be developed into a microbicide, thus offering a preventative means to combat HIV transmission. A microbicide is an agent that reduces the infectivity of a pathogen. In this case, an anti-amyloid topical formulation might be developed for application either vaginally or rectally to prevent the very earliest stage of sexual HIV transmission [
Mechanisms of action of anti-SEVI agents. (
The most common class of anti-SEVI agents identified to date, shield the charged surface of the fibrils to block their infection boosting properties. Anionic polymers, which interfere with the binding of SEVI to HIV virions by shielding the intrinsic positive charges of SEVI, diminish SEVI-mediated enhancement of infection (
Aminoquinoline surfen, a small molecule heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG) antagonist, exerts anti-SEVI effects through a slightly different mechanism (
BTA-EG6 (a hexa(ethylene glycol) derivative of benzothiazole aniline) is a small molecule capable of abrogating SEVI's effects by binding to its "cross-β" structure (
Another approach to target SEVI's deleterious effects is through inhibition of amyloid fibril formation. Structure-based design of peptides comprised of non-natural amino acids has yielded a highly specific peptide inhibitor of PAP248-286 fibrillization [
PAP248-286 has several regions of high amyloidogenic propensity. (
While this is a novel strategy to prevent SEVI assembly, SEVI fibrils are already formed and abundant in seminal fluid. Thus, inhibiting their initial formation would seem impractical in the male and futile in the female. Similarly, SEVI fibrils will persist in strategies that aim to coat the amyloid surface and prevent interactions with the virus or the cell surface or both. Thus, fibrils might still gain opportunities to promote viral infection. We suggest that a more desirable strategy would be to isolate agents that rapidly deconstruct SEVI fibrils and thereby eradicate structures that promote HIV infection. However, great difficulty lies in the unusual stability of the amyloid form, which resists proteases, protein denaturants, temperatures up to 98 °C, and 2% SDS [
Despite their exceptional stability, a few, very select agents can reverse amyloid formation. EGCG (epigallocatechin-3-gallate), a potent antioxidant found in green tea, has shown widespread antifibrillogenic effects [
In addition to its antifibrillogenic effects, EGCG also has direct antiviral activity in the absence of both SEVI and semen. By binding to cell-surface CD4 molecules on target cells, EGCG prevents attachment of the HIV glycoprotein gp120 to CD4 [
A phenomenon that further adds to the complexity of searching for anti-SEVI and anti-amyloid agents is that amyloid fibrils can exist as polymorphs and form diverse conformational strains. Conformational variation among amyloid fibrils of a given protein can give rise to fibrils with distinct properties [
It is unclear whether each of the predicted hexapeptides present within PAP248-286 does indeed form a steric zipper. However, it is probable that SEVI fibrils can exist as multiple strains within seminal fluid. The presence of several SEVI strains could complicate the development of anti-SEVI inhibitors. For instance, WW61, the non-natural peptide inhibitor of SEVI assembly, was rationally designed to bind to the 260GGVLVN265 steric-zipper interface [
This concern also extends to EGCG, which is a strain-selective inhibitor of Sup35 fibrillization [
After identifying SEVI, Münch and colleagues continued analysis of their semen-derived peptide library [
PAP85-120 has six regions of high amyloidogenic propensity. The Zipper DB histogram of PAP85-120 predicts six hexapeptide segments that are highly likely to form steric-zipper spines.
The discovery of two positively charged fibrillar structures that augment virion fusion and infection led to the hypothesis that other positively charged factors might exist in semen that could also enhance HIV transmission. To test this hypothesis, pooled seminal fluid was depleted of positively charged factors and this resulted in a complete loss of its ability to augment HIV infection [
Proteolytic cleavage of semenogelin 1 (SEM1) and semenogelin 2 (SEM2). Full-length SEM1 and SEM2, the major components of the semen coagulum, are proteolytically cleaved by prostate specific antigen (PSA) to yield several peptide fragments. These peptide products readily aggregate and assemble into amyloid fibrils in seminal fluid.
Interestingly, semen samples from patients with ejaculatory duct obstruction (EDO) were also analyzed. EDO patients are naturally deficient in SEMs, since duct obstruction prevents contents of the seminal vesicles from reaching the ejaculate. As expected, these semen samples lacked viral infection-enhancing activity [
SEM1 and SEM2 have several regions of high fibrillization propensity. (
The identification of numerous amyloidogenic peptides in seminal fluid is somewhat surprising. The presence of multiple peptides assembled into amyloid fibrils in semen suggests that they are potentially functional rather than disease-associated. Indeed, in humans, amyloid conformers have been captured for various beneficial purposes, including melanosome biogenesis and the natural storage of peptide hormones in pituitary secretory granules [
While the role of these naturally occurring semen-derived amyloidogenic peptides in HIV infection has been well defined, one crucial question is still unanswered: what is the adaptive role of these amyloid species? It has been postulated that these amyloid fibrils may play a physiological role in promoting fertilization, especially since numerous commonalities exist between virion-target cell fusion and sperm-egg fusion [
Because of the apparent parallels between mammalian fertilization and HIV infection, it is certainly plausible that SEVI and other amyloids may play a role in the fertilization process. Further evidence stems from the fact that spermatozoa can be stained with the amyloid-binding dye Congo Red, indicating that amyloid fibrils may be bound to these motile sperm cells [
SEVI represents a novel microbicide target. Thus, additional means of counteracting SEVI-mediated enhancement of HIV infection are being explored, and similar approaches should also be investigated to counteract the effects of PAP85-120, SEM1, and SEM2 amyloid fibrils. One strategy is to use conformation-specific antibodies that specifically recognize aggregated forms of proteins. For amyloid fibrils to form, a small peptide segment within the aggregated protein must form a tight, self-complementary interface with an identical segment [
A second future approach involves developing a novel transmission-blocking HIV vaccine to protect against HIV infection via the sexual route. SEVI binds HIV virions directly through electrostatic contacts [
Despite the wealth of evidence illustrating the role of semen-derived amyloid fibrils in HIV transmission, the actual presence and proviral activity of these fibrils has been questioned. One study reported that the infection enhancing activity of SEVI fibrils formed
The relative contributions of SEVI, PAP85-120, and SEM amyloid fibrils, as well as amyloid strain phenomena, in semen-mediated enhancement of HIV infection have yet to be determined. However, defining these contributions will be important in the design and search for agents that can abrogate the deleterious effects of these amyloid fibrils. Perhaps the most useful agents to be discovered are those that target amyloid fibrils in general, rather than specific inhibitors of SEVI, PAP85-120, or SEM amyloid fibrils. Ultimately, agents that can efficiently disaggregate or degrade these amyloid fibrils could be developed into a vaginal microbicide, thus reducing amyloid-mediated enhancement of HIV infectivity and offering a preventative strategy to combat HIV infection via sexual transmission. In this context, it will be interesting to explore amyloid disaggregases that can rapidly dissociate amyloid forms within a few minutes [
Until recently, HIV prevention methods have lacked credibility. Data from various trials showed limited decreases in HIV incidence [

When I think about the future of professional bass fishing, I think about more than just the business framework of the industry or the state of the fishing economy. Those things are important but that's not all there is. Just as important is the young talent that's climbing up the ladder. And no angler who's doing that deserves more of a look than Brandon Palaniuk. He's a real angler with a real future in front of him.
In the interest of full disclosure, I have to say that when I look at him I see a lot of myself. We both made our mark by winning the Federation Nation Championship on the Red River, and we both fished our first Bassmaster Classic on the Louisiana Delta. We both finished near the top, too. But my admiration for him goes much deeper than that.
Perhaps most important, Brandon has a serious work ethic. He does his homework before an event. He studies maps, looks at past tournaments and analyzes the lay of the water. Then, he fishes hard. It's not unusual to see his truck and trailer at the ramp when everyone else is launching. It'll most likely still be there when everyone else is pulling out for the day. He wants every minute he can get out there.
He's smart, too. One of the most useful skills an angler can have at our level is the ability to make quick decisions, good decisions that maximize your chances of catching winning weights. He can do that. In fact, he's ahead of the experience curve in that department. But — and this is really important — he doesn't let his ego get him in trouble. He realizes he has a lot to learn. He accepts that.
Mixed in with all of that is his business savvy. He's pretty good with money, budgets and he understands that he needs to work hard to get, and keep, sponsors. He realizes that the sponsor-angler relationship is rooted in solid business principles. Everyone must get something out of the deal. Brandon doesn't think he's doing anyone a favor by carry their logo on his shirt or his boat.
He's one of the guys you should be watching. He's the positive future of our sport. As long as we have guys like Brandon Palaniuk fishing professionally, we'll be just fine regardless of what else is going on. That's why I asked him to speak at our The Bass University this weekend in Shreveport.
He'll do two PowerPoint presentations as well as hang around and answer questions from our students. In case you want to take advantage of his knowledge and pick his brain a little bit, there are still a few seats left. You can sign up at TheBassUniversity.com or in person at the door, and you can attend one day or both days. The choice is yours.
Next week I'll give you four picks for this year's Classic. Two of them will be obvious and two of them will be surprises. You can grade me later.

Sex offenders and people suspected of terrorist activity can now be reported to Facebook in a major upgrade of user safety features by the global social networking company.
With 400 million users worldwide, Facebook has been criticised for being too slow to respond to complaints of online bullying and sexual predators.
In response the website has launched a safety centre, an internal site which gives advice to users about cyber bullying, with a designated area for teens on how to report offensive or inappropriate material, as well as information for parents.
The site also includes advice for teachers on how to create professional environments to interact with students and deal with cyber bullying.
Users can now report profiles belonging to registered sex offenders, or those offering support for terrorist activity.
''If you find material that promotes terrorist behaviour or that raises funds for a terrorist organisation, Facebook strongly encourages you to report this here,'' it says.
The company unveiled its safety centre a day after meeting child advocacy officials in Britain, who had been pushing for stronger safety features for some time, following the kidnapping and murder there of a teenager by a man she encountered on the website.
In Australia, numerous tribute sites for teenagers who have died in car accidents have been vandalised with offensive material. An example was a tribute page set up for eight-year-old Bundaberg schoolgirl Trinity Bates, who was abducted from her home and murdered.
Similarly, Elliot Fletcher - the 12-year-old schoolboy who was allegedly stabbed and killed by another student - had his tribute page vandalised.
In February, 20 students from Springwood State High School in Brisbane were suspended for setting up a Facebook group that bullied staff. And in the US, a 19-year-old has been sentenced to 15 years in prison after being found guilty of using Facebook to blackmail his classmates into having sex.
The site is the first major initiative between Facebook and its global safety advisory board, which was established in December.
''There's no single answer to making the internet or Facebook safer,'' said Elliot Schrage, vice-president of global communications and public policy at Facebook. ''You'll see even more powerful - and simpler - safety innovations coming from Facebook.''
