Simulators could see a revolution in the quality of visuals as new ray-tracing technology comes to the fore and replaces rasterized images, and new multi-core chips make it possible to use multiple projectors simultaneously. That was one of the conclusions to emerge from a Royal Aeronautical Society conference in London on flight simulation research in late November. Whether the increased cost of greater "fidelity" is necessary to meet training goals was another matter for discussion.
Most of the computing power in full-flight simulators can now be replicated on desktop trainers at low cost, so "the next advancement is moving up the credits you can get on desktop trainers," said Prof. David White, L-3 Link Simulation and Training chief scientist. "The market for us is being driven by the bottom end. It's a consumer market and all devices are now multi-core!" He added that Intel chips are now 8-core and PowerPCs (Motorola) have gone to 12, with "hyperthreading" (parallel processing to "allow more power from the same silicon") becoming more popular. However, he reminded listeners that Amdahl's Law says that parallel processing is not wholly efficient, so "with a 32-core system you may only get a 24x speed-up, but only at 99-percent parallelization." In fact, he added, "if the efficiency is only 60 percent, you can only get two times the speed from 32 cores."
Thus very fast chips are becoming available for simulation, often "systems on a chip" (SOCs). He suggested that processing power is all very well, but what is needed is on-chip supervision to use software to best manage kernel time, to enhance the efficiency of the parallel processing. He showed a slide to illustrate an EFB application, warning of obsolescence if supervision software is written for particular chips that later become obsolete. This is the danger with training devices that are then not upgradeable.
Right now, White said, system designers are addressing the major disadvantage of asymmetric multi processing SoCs–that software in one core can "trample" over the memory of another–by having supervision software, or a "hypervisor layer allocating rights between the kernels and providing security." This would allow more stable running of the SoC and could see, for example, "Linux running on one core and Arinc 653 on another–or any operating system, such as Vxworks," said White. "So for FSTD architectures you could get much higher performance protected from other people [such as third-party vendors] changing software, and with networking over standard protocols." However, this does mean that "users and maintainers have to be more IT aware" to get the best out of their systems. "Multicore SoCs are the future but they have to be architectured," he said. "You can't just chuck the software in there…and people have to know how to code to get the power."
Realistic Views with Ray Tracing
The advances in chip technology make possible a movement toward ray tracing technology because, as Simon Skinner, managing director of XPI Simulation, pointed out, parallelization can be "99.99 percent" efficient for this application. Movie graphics already use ray tracing, which gives realistic shadows, reflections and refraction with real detail because it is created by actual light, rather than using vast image databases (which also slow things down to get the detail).
However, ray-tracing is processor intensive and movie frames (CGI graphics) take days to make; moving this toward real-time simulation means 10 to 12 milliseconds to get the image, and the fastest at the moment tends to be three times slower than that, said Skinner, whose company is working on a UK military project called SERTE (with Lockheed Martin and CAE). The chip being used, a Kepler GF110 on an NVIDIA card, has seven billion transistors, 1,536 cores and 6Gb of memory, speeding at 1.5-4.0 terraflops per second. "But we want 10-30 terraflops," he said, and can get an effective 1,200 to 1,300 cores. This is the power needed to do movie CGI in real time, and the next-generation chip, code-named "Maxwell," will come closer. Speeds are increasing three-fold every couple of years.
For now, the systems are being pioneered for simulation of the land battle, with realistic fire and atmospheric effects such as fog. "There is too much detail to use this technology in [flight simulation] at the moment. The systems just fall over," said Skinner. The direct rendering is equivalent to rasterizing at 3.6 billion polygons every second, but the challenge for flight simulation is to do this at 60 frames per second for good fidelity.
Nonetheless, Doug Traill, senior solutions architect with NVIDIA, said that next-generation graphics are incorporating ray tracing. The world's fastest computer, "Titan," is at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Tenn., and is used to simulate real-world physics, he said, using 18,688 NVIDIA Tesla GPUs. "This week 18 Barco projectors are being installed at Oak Ridge so they can visualize Titan's output, [yet] the code they run on it can run on a PC; the code is portable." Also, the Silicon Graphics-developed OpenGL reality engine being used is 20 years old and widely available. Using ray tracing, the simulator will draw more pixels than the population of the Earth every two seconds.
Flight simulators need to be at 60 frames per second minimum, but Traill suggested that this will probably head for 120 fps over the next five years. Moving away from the traditional databases by using ray tracing to model real physics is how this will be done.
How Much Fidelity Does Flight Training Need?
Owen Wynn, technical program manager with Rockwell Collins, asked whether all this "realism" is necessary for flight training, and suggested that less costly devices and more of them are what is needed for training, especially in general aviation. Commercial off-the-shelf (Cots) technology is becoming the de facto way to go, he said, because of the pace of change and the fact that it is economically compelling to piggy-back on the gaming and other consumer industries. His message was that "simulation is a small industry that can no longer justify the cost of independent R&D. We're becoming a cost-based industry as Cots is the main driver now," with through-life costs becoming increasingly important. By way of example, he listed some digital cinema projectors now available to simulator builders.
During a lively Q&A session, one respondent pointed out that "Cots may be driving down the cost of simulators but the cost of data is rocketing." Wynn commented that a level-D full-flight simulator should be $100,000 not $20 million. The assumption tends to be, another delegate pointed out, that the industry accepts this price point because the cost of an accident is so high. Also for training, there is still a ratio of perhaps 40:1 between the cost of training in an airliner and in a simulator.
Dr. Sunjoo Advani, president of IDT Engineering, said that the top three "wants" in simulation and training are validating fidelity requirements, measuring training effectiveness and upset recovery training. Real aircraft have to be used for upset recovery training, he suggested, as the realism is just not there in simulators and extending the flight models accurately outside the norm would be prohibitively expensive (to say nothing of the real problem of getting instructors that have the necessary experience).
White and his team at Liverpool University conducted a fidelity assessment of flight simulators in an attempt to improve standards of measuring fidelity. After work that included flight-testing in a Bell 412 with several test pilots from Canada's National Research Council and comparisons with the simulator in Liverpool, the team proposed a new fidelity rate scale for helicopters. In subsequent questioning, White made it clear that getting consistent subjective feedback for comparison from test pilots is almost impossible, but this is one of the main reasons there is a drive to establish objective standards so that repeated assessments can be avoided. Work is ongoing through the EU-funded Garteur framework, involving AgustaWestland, CAE and various research establishments.
Real-World Feel in the Sim
While visual systems are heading for a revolution, for the pilot there is much more to "fidelity:" the motion system has to be realistic, too, and in sync with the visuals. Back in the world of current-production simulators, Dr. Robert Armstrong, senior engineer with L-3 Link, described the current push to create a new simulator qualification methodology as initiated by ICAO 9625 Edition 3, the current qualification standard followed by regulators. This is no simple task, since motion cueing has to create the most realistic simulation possible from only a six-degrees-of-freedom Stewart Platform motion system with limited travel in translation and rotation. Gravity is used to simulate sustained acceleration, for example, so rejected takeoffs are the most challenging events to replicate.
The new objective motion cueing test should allow consistent evaluation of the entire motion-drive algorithm of the simulator to help engineers do the comparison objectively, although Armstrong acknowledges that subjective input from pilots will still be needed.
Jim Takats, managing director of Opinicus, who led the Motion Task Team of the RAeS International Working Group to create ICAO 9625 Edition 3, said the purpose of the effort is to address the fact that "Current regulations are increasingly out of step" with modern simulators. Ruud Hosman of AMS Consult, who was also involved in the task team, explained, "We needed an objective motion cueing test. Since the introduction of six-degrees-of-freedom motion systems, subjective tuning has been used, [which is] not consistently reproducible or reliable. So this test supports MDA adjustment. The test was published in 9625 Edition 3 so we can see what the state of the art in motion is from the manufacturers."
He explained that some results are in–"We are just waiting for the results from two labs and one simulator manufacturer"–but already it appears that "all the partners are saying that it is a valuable and powerful test that will remove the reliance on only subjective judgment." It will effectively give guidance for tuning that will make the simulator much more like the real thing even before a pilot has tried it.
Takats concluded, "We spend a lot of time tuning simulators, and manufacturers need to prove to regulators that results are the same between devices–so we won't need to re-tune simulators all the time. We do the first one, and then the rest are the same–like aircraft." The culmination of this almost five-year effort could result in a real advance for producers and operators of simulators.

Now that only the elite of the elite are here I have some valuable information, just for you. This time of year is about pageantry, bands, tailgating, and the great game of football, played by student/athletes from coast to coast. That's what I tell my neighbors. You and I know something else, though. It's also the time of year for hauling in a pile of Presidents with some cogent beating of the point spread.
Everyone knows the obvious stuff. Oregon went 2-0-1 against the spread (ATS) and 3-0 straight up (SU) last year when playing at home, with the total >= 59, after losing the previous game ATS. Child's play. Every middle-schooler with Wi-Fi and an account with Bovada knows that.
But for you, contributor of extreme largesse', we have some things that very few know.
This season may be more of a challenge and it's Erin Andrews' fault. The Ducks covered the number to the tune of 77% of the time when the fetching Ms. Andrews patrolled the sidelines.
Now she has taken her talents to a studio show where she will lounge next to Joey Harrington. *Sigh* As usual, Popeye said it best.
No matter. The astute football gambler will go deeper into the numbers to find profit. For example, Oregon is 13-6-1 ATS in night games. starting with…
But here is something most people don't know. Oregon is 1-0 SU and ATS in night games when the lights go out at Autzen.
Gamblers beware, though! Not all betting trends are in favor of the Ducks. Oregon is only 2-3 in games when a man named Bronco is on the other sideline. This includes…

Erythropoietin in the Prevention of Acute Mountain Sickness (EPO-AMS)
- Full Text View

- How to Read a Study Record
Acute mountain sickness (AMS) is a syndrome of nonspecific symptoms and is therefore subjective. The Lake Louise Consensus Group defined acute mountain sickness as the presence of headache in an unacclimatized person who has recently arrived at an altitude above 2,500 m plus the presence of one or more of the following: gastrointestinal symptoms (anorexia, nausea, or vomiting), insomnia, dizziness, and lassitude or fatigue. An increase in RBC mass is a natural feature of altitude acclimatization. Hypoxia-induced erythropoietin (EPO) secretion begins hours after ascent and stimulates bone marrow production of red blood cells, but this takes weeks to effect an increase in red cell mass . Therefore, it is feasible that EPO therapy weeks before altitude exposure decrease high altitude illness.
In 1996, Young et al in U.S. Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine (USARIEM) reported that autologous erythrocyte infusion did not ameliorate the decrement in maximal oxygen uptake at 4,300m altitude despite increasing arterial oxygen carrying capacity. On the basis of this report, USARIEM did not recommend use of recombinant EPO for altitude acclimatization.
However, increases in erythrocyte count, hematocrit and hemoglobin associated with EPO therapy have been shown to decrease fatigue and increase work capacity and exercise tolerance. In addition, improvement in CNS function and cognitive ability has been noted with EPO therapy. Subjective benefits include improvement in sleep habits, tolerance to cold; decreased dyspnea, anginal symptoms and tachycardia and improved appetite, all of which are symptoms associated with high altitude illness.
The investigators also reported improved muscle energy metabolism with EPO in dialysis patients, but not with RBC transfusion.
In this study, the investigators will conduct a randomised controlled trial to assess the effect of EPO administration on AMS at an altitude of 4,130 m.

This is the third Jack Keller book, and each one has edged farther away from the "crime" category and into the "thriller" area. Don't ask me to explain the difference. I know it when I read it.
The title doesn't really apply to anybody in the book as far as I can tell. Nobody's safe, and nobody's sound, least of all Keller. You really need to have read the first two books in the series to know about Keller, the problems he's had in the past, if you want to understand what's happening, but here's the short version. He had a particularly bad experience in Afghanistan, but he's been slowly getting better. Unfortunately, he keeps finding himself in situations where he has to let the violence inside him escape. He tries to keep it tamped down, but he keeps finding himself in situations where he has to use it to save himself or someone he loves. And once it gets out, there's no controlling it.
This time there's a kidnapping, two of them, really, and the man behind them is bad. Awfully bad. A torturer. He's after the mcguffin, which is something I won't tell you about, since Rhoades keeps it a secret for a while. If he can, I can, and it doesn't matter, anyhow. It's just the thing that sets off the action, of which there's plenty. The book never slows down. Don't expect a happy ending. Anyone can die at any time, and some wounds aren't caused by guns and knives. Check it out.

Excellent value for money.
Fantastic quality
Service as per usual is 5 star.... Have recommended to all my friends ....
Really good quality
Good quality trainer at a good price
Very happy
Brilliant price.. My bhoy loves these
Only thing preventing using M and M more is shipping cost - buying for kids doesn't often total £50 or more.
M and M offer a great service to BFPO personnel, they could only improve it, if they were to sell tax free also. Very much recommened.
Excellent - goods delivered really quicky. great quality apart from the boots - ill-fitting and very uncomfortable.
Great price for my 5 yr old son. He loves them!
Great for scoring goals galore :-)
Great quality!!
Always get stuff exactly what I ask for . Also good delivery and on time
I guess this range is aimed at budget level - the tongue of the trainer is very thin plastic with no padding on which you usually get, which I am hoping doesnt affect comfort. otherwise good
Fantastic service and delivery.
My son loves his new boots, cheap but look expensive.. He's happy and I'm impressed!
This kind of thing doesn't last long in our house due to constant use so it's good find a great product and a decent price.
Brilliant quality . My grandson loves his trainers !

Impressive wing-span...but accidently dropping a Lumia 1020 on somebody's head might not be the best way to introduce them to the awesome power of Nokia's Pureview technology ;o)

Actually, it's not the issue of Nokia (the L1020 absolutely rocks!) as much as the idea of drones flying around taking pictures of everybody in their own backyard. Then again, since the regular postal service sometimes sucks, this might just be a viable alternative...

wow, this beats any other accessory made for any other phone out there, the lumia 1020 really is out of this world...Good job nokia

How does this reflect on Nokia at all, whether well or otherwise? Do you mean "Good job, Lehman Aviation"?
14. cam-whore (Posts: 164; Member since: 21 Feb 2013)
yes, it really does reflect on Nokia bro. they didn't make it for any other right. But you're right, "good job, Lehman Aviation"....on choosing the best. Imagine if they had made this for Samdung, and it explodes in the air, could actually start wars, haha.

i think people would prefer a gaming controller dedicated to the lumia 1020 than this thing.

If you live next to the Playboy mansion, this thing might actually be very handy ;o)

INDIANAPOLIS — Jerry Jones looked relaxed, sitting in his plush, new bus Saturday as he visited with reporters for nearly two hours. But his appearance didn't represent the way he feels about the state of the team he owns. In reality, Jones is uncomfortable and dissatisfied. The Cowboys have finished 8-8 each of the last two seasons, a period he called the most disappointing he's experienced since buying the franchise in 1989. "There is a lot of resolve here and not a lot of patience with where we are," Jones said. "We've got to start knocking on the door." Seconds later, Jones added that coach Jason Garrett "senses that." For much of the off-season, many have accused Jones of launching a campaign aimed at stripping Garrett's power. It's a charge Jones adamantly denied Saturday. Jones said that the six new assistants who have joined the organization since the beginning of the new year were hired by Garrett.

Let me introduce myself. My name is Mark Sisson. I'm 63 years young. I live and work in Malibu, California. In a past life I was a professional marathoner and triathlete. Now my life goal is to help 100 million people get healthy. I started this blog in 2006 to empower people to take full responsibility for their own health and enjoyment of life by investigating, discussing, and critically rethinking everything we've assumed to be true about health and wellness...Tell Me More
During this year's 30-Day Challenge I put a call out for Primal Blueprint Success Stories. Dozens upon dozens were sent in. If you're looking for a bit of insight into how others have transitioned to the PB and how it has changed their lives, or could just use a little inspiration to end the week on, read Michael Wilson's Primal Blueprint real life story below and be on the lookout for more success stories in coming weeks.
In July 2005, at just eighteen years old I was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis. At first I suffered just a few sharp sternum pangs, but a couple of months later this spread to my lower back. I was prescribed Diclofenac to ease the pain. Unfortunately over time both the pain and subsequent medication increased. In July 2010 I was suffering from pain in my sternum, lower back, upper back, right shoulder, wrists, feet, heels and legs. My body was constantly throbbing with pain and in the crueler winter months I had been known to use a walking stick on occasion to assist me around the house. I was unable to run, walking was always met with pain and life was becoming more painful and less enjoyable. The restriction in movement and exercise, coupled with the inflammation of the joints, meant that I put on about three stone (42 pounds) in weight from 2005 until 2010. This exacerbated the situation and didn't do much for my self confidence. At this point I was taking an all time high amount of medication. Each day I would take a cocktail of two 200 mg Celecoxib tablets and eight 30/500 mg Co-codamol tablets. This was supplemented with a weekly 20 mg injection of Methotrexate – a drug that is used in larger quantities as an anti-cancer drug.
I have always been relatively health conscious and the increase in pain and weight had not gone unnoticed. I had always gone along with conventional wisdom's idea of a balanced diet and didn't really understand why I was failing to shift any of the excess weight or where it had came from in the first instance! In May 2010 after reading an article linking arthritis and meat consumption (this link is unfounded and utter rubbish) I decided to give the vegetarian diet a try. At this point I felt there was little to lose and everything to gain. Whilst I didn't notice any less pain I managed to lose three or four pounds in a matter of weeks which was a reasonable start – although there was no further weight loss for the next two months.
In July 2010 I decided to research various ways to increase my protein intake. A vegetarian mainly gets this from cheap meat substitute products like Quorn and tofu. Unable to find anything that looked nutritious or appealing I made the decision that I would introduce fish back into my diet. The vegetarian diet was something I had tried and whilst it had yielded reasonable results initially, it was clear that the benefits were short-lived and largely unfulfilling.
I don't exactly remember what search terms I used whilst looking for protein sources on the internet but somewhere along the way I stumbled across MarksDailyApple.com. I had seen a lot of diet websites, but there was something a lot more sincere about Mark Sisson and The Primal Blueprint. Firstly, many websites ask you to buy the book for the diet or pay a subscription charge. Mark's philosophy is wholly different to this and in fact the whole ethos and spirit of The Primal Blueprint can be captured without having to purchase The Primal Blueprint. After reading MDA for a day I decided to abandon the vegetarian path entirely and take the plunge into the Primal lifestyle, after all this path promised "rapid fat loss and major health improvements."
I didn't realise how much rubbish I'd been eating until I started investigating the Primal way of life. No longer do I eat cereal or toast for breakfast, but rather I eat bacon, eggs and black pudding (blood sausage) or smoked salmon and scrambled eggs. Initially this took my stomach some time to adjust, but now that it has I look forward to breakfast so much more than I previously did. For lunch, rather than a nutritionally depleted sandwich I enjoy a salad, usually of the fish variety packed with lots of healthy Omega 3 fats. Dinner is my favourite meal as I indulge in lots of vegetables, a huge portion of meat with healthy animal fat and for desert, fruit with a helping of cream or organic probiotic yoghurt. In addition to this I take a few supplements; a multivitamin, vitamin C, vitamin D, fish oil and glucosamine sulphate. I do not believe that the vitamins are the reason for my success as I only introduced these after the positive results from primal living.
Not only have the results been positive but they have occurred incredibly quickly. In a way it's almost difficult to believe how amazing the change has been. I started the Primal lifestyle on July 11th 2010, a month later I had stopped taking Co-codamol tablets. This meant that I was taking eight tablets less each day. I only continued taking my Celecoxib because I had an important forthcoming examination and I didn't want to risk the possibility of my health taking a knock. After the exam was out the way, towards the end of August, I stopped taking the Celecoxib and booked an appointment with my GP to see if I could stop taking or reduce the dose of Methotrexate. Given the serious nature of the medication I didn't want to make this judgment call myself, despite feeling in much better shape due to improved diet, exercise and sleep. In early September after a consultation with my GP I was drug free for the first time in five years!
After I started up the Primal lifestyle I found that I started losing the excess fat I had gained over the previous five years incredibly quickly. In addition to this I can run for the first time in five years and it doesn't hurt to go out and walk. In fact I embrace walking and usually enjoy a two hour walk every Saturday, this is a round trip to the butchers and grocers – I always feel it's very Grok-esque when I'm striding back from the butchers with heavy bags of meat! As things stand I hardly feel any pain at all from the arthritis, I have taken no prescription medication for months, I am the leanest I've been in five years and I actually have a waist and body fat percentage that I haven't enjoyed for even longer than that! The energy I have is boundless – it's great to come into work for 8 am refreshed whilst everybody else clutches their caffeinated drinks with baggy eyes and melancholic expressions.
The Primal Blueprint is the best lifestyle choice I have made and one that I will be keeping for life – a special thank you to Mark Sisson for helping me achieve a pain free life once again. Grok on my friends!

I found MDA in the same way – looking for vegetarian protein sources. Bizarre, but it got me here and I am a convert now.
I am so glad to hear of your success!
Me too! I wonder how many stubblers have been made converts in this manner? I had only contemplated a vegetarian lifestyle for a few weeks after a severe gall bladder attack (blamed on fat, of course!)when I found this website in July 2010. No looking back now. 🙂
Me too! I was Googling "lean proteins for vegetarians" after an ill fated year. Good work Mark. 🙂
Dude, that is awesome! Great story.
Nice job, man!
And I'm not completely sure what blood sausage is – but I want some.
It is delicious, that's what. I had a wonderful meal of sausage, including blood sausage, and sauerkraut at an inn in Slovenia. (Eastern Europe can be a great destination for people who follow this lifestyle.)
Depending on where you live, the sausage may contain grains to bind it together (some use grains, some use cream). There's no set rule with black pudding, but it is lovely 😉
Rudy, nice to hear you enjoyed some delicious Slovenian blood sausage! I live in Slovenia and blood sausage one of my favorite local delicacies. Usually it's made with buckwheat, barley, or rice, or some combo of these, so it's good to find out what's in it if you are sensitive to grains. I'm thinking of asking our local butcher to make some for me that substitutes ground nuts or something like that for the grains.
I am originally from Bury, Lancashire – home of the Black Pudding – so it is said – others have mentioned its constituents, but you can buy it in US – usually british food stores sell it. A thanksgiving recipe is to mix it 1/2 and 1/2 with pork sausage meat – pastured of course – and a cup or so of raisins and stuff your thanksgiving turkey with it – you will not believe how good that taste's 🙂
A lot of European nations have blood sausage, and I'm sure they'd all like to claim it's there's. It's also called blood pudding in the UK (pudding there has a very different meaning than what most of us North Americans mean!). It's usually sliced and fried in a pan, in the UK at least, but I'm sure there's many ways to prepare it.
What an awesome success story. It's amazing how fast the body will repair itself given the chance.
I love reading stories like this. Thanks for sharing!
LOVE this, what an amazing and inspiring story. Hearing things like this make me even more sure that I'm doing the right thing for my body! Thanks for sharing!
Great story, I not only love here about this for personal motivation, but as material to use on my friends and family. Shifting people away from the darkside is a difficult task, there are just so many paradigms to shift.
That is amazing, it is always inspiring to hear stories like this. Great job Michael!
I'd like to wish you the best of luck. I'm really glad to know you're doing well. Thanks for sharing, it was a great read…
Love success stories, keep 'em comin! And congratulations to Michael Wilson for such success!
Black pudding is a popular dish in the north of England. It is usually made from cooked pigs blood & fat, which is shaped like a fat sausage. Eaten cold, or fried with bacon & eggs, it really is "the cornerstone of any nutricious breakfast".
Great story! I'm also living a life free of medication. Mine was due to chronic, severe, and constant migraines. Come to find out it is an allergy to MSG. Who would have thunked that MSG (and all of the 16 names that it falls under) could actually make people sick??? ROFL. I've been sick since I was a kid. So many years wasted! I have to make up for lost time by playing more! thanks MDA for helping me get my life back!
Awesome news Michael. I too have psoriatic arthritis and have had success with PB. Way to go!!!
by the way… does red wine seem to aggravate the arthritis symptoms on you? It seems to on me, but I am in denial about it. ha!!
Any alcohol aggravates my psoriasis, I gues due to impact on intestinal barrier. Denial is OK as long as you are OK with your PA
Wow! Love this story.
Some people complain about the internet but this proves what a great resource it can be.
Thanks Michael for sharing. I'm sure you too will change someone's life for the better.
This is really inspiring. I love reading about these success stories.
Outstanding! I want to point out I very much agree about the 'tone' in which Mark goes about spreading this amazing stuff.. very sincere. I know you get it all the time, Mark, but you really are changing lives… not many people can make that claim…
Grock on, y'all! Off to the butcher for a pork shoulder I am gonna smoke this weekend (See amazon for the Weber Smokey Mountain- VERY PRIMAL!!)
Great story, Michael!!!
I started reading MDA just before the Labor Day weekend and my wife and I went Primal just after Labor Day. Love it! I've lost 18 pounds and I take fewer meds now for my chronic arthritis and my inflamation & pain have markedly decreased!
Great story – thanks for sharing!
These are my absolute favorite kind of primal articles. I cannot remember exactly where now, but during the recent string of contests someone mentioned that thanks to the primal lifestyle they no longer needed liptitor. Brought a tear to my eye as did this. Now if I just had a magic wand to wave over my more stubborn family members to help them see the light…
Amazing. You have a whole new life!
Thanks everybody, I'm really glad this has had such a great response. I've already got a few friends thinking about PB, hopefully this will get a few more. As soon as I'm home I'll post this to my Facebook and Twitter.
Grok on!
These type of stories make me cry. I am so happy for you and very grateful to Mark and the other pioneers in paleo/primal nutrition. I know for me it is not a passing fancy, this is it, for life (in more ways than one).
This is the kind of health that it's SO hard to convince people of. Most people I encounter usually focus on just the body weight and fat composition portions of diet. Your story is such a good example of how the Primal diet does so much more than help you lose weight.
I know plenty of people that have high-carb diets and exercise regularly and eat grains and all that stuff and are in "great shape". But are they missing all those secondary (primary, in my book) health benefits? I would guess "yes" to a certain extent.
Great job!!!
Vanessa, I was in the same boat! Vegan, Raw Foodist, and was heading down the path of natural hygiene, but I was totally underweight and way too obsessed with not putting 'toxins' in my body..
I think what was coined as 'Orthorexia Nervosa'.. since I've started eating meat again I've been on an upward spiral! I just love good organic bacon and organic grass fed beef!
Grok On indeed!
Congratulations Michael! I am so happy for your success. Isn't it such a relief to realize our bodies want to be healthy and strong if we would only feed them properly?
On a different note, I am going to start figuring ways to incorporate the word "rubbish" into my everyday vernacular. After reading your story it has become clear to me that word is woefully underused in the US. And no, I'm not trying to take the piss out of you by saying that! 😉
How wonderful to read a life changing story like this one. The picture is worth a thousand words. He looks great and it sounds as if, things could only get better for him. It give awsome inspiration for us who are new to the primal way.
I'm very happy to hear of your success. keep it up.
Your story has me in tears.
I have experienced the same benefit from going off gluten. I used to have awful problems with asthma, sinus issues and inflamed eustacian tubes and pressure and itching in my ears which also caused dizziness and nausea. It's just about all gone now, and I reckon if I kept fully casein free as well I'd be pretty much symptom free 😉
I have had the same experience since ditching gluten at the beginning of this year. Normally I spend spring with awful hayfever – really severe, needing heavy medication – but this year symptoms were reduced to almost nil. I'm waiting until next spring to pass final judgement just in case this was a freakishly low pollen year or something, but it's fairly conclusive already. By the way I didn't expect anything like this to happen and probably wouldn't have believed it if I had!
Me too! I have been primal for a couple of months now, and I keep having to explain to everyone that my allergies (including foods like bananas and melons) and ashtma are gone since I gave up wheat, and I always had the itching and pressure in my ears that no one seemed to understand. That seems like it's better on one side now, and I'm waiting for the other to catch up.
Wow, wow, wow, what a wonderful and inspiring story!
I was ill for several years until I cut out gluten, corn and most dairy, recently I have gone primal and am already seeing further improvements, I can't wait to tell my own success story.
Wow, very inspiring and very awesome!
This is the prototypical PB story. This should be shared with everyone. Congrats on your success and new found health.
Look at You !!!!!
Can see that light in your eyes……….
Awesome wonderful story. I so wish I could tell my mom about this; she really suffers from her arthritis when the weather is bad. Sadly, she isn't very receptive to new ideas, but maybe if I share your experience, she might be more interested.
Congratulations on your success story Michael. MDA is a great resource, just watch out for the primal nazi's at some of the copycat sites they have no idea what they are talking about like Mark does.
Congratulations on being med free! Awesome inspiring story.
Congratulations Michael, I need to pass your story on to my step daughter who has recently been diagnosed with arthritis, not the same form, but hopefully your story can be inspirational to her and give her hope. Viva the primal lifestyle!
I'm happy for you man! This is great! Every story I read on here inspires me more and more to stick with this…
Congratulations to you! I can't imagine the pain you must have been in.
Since I've been eating primal style, my arthritis pain has disappeared, though it was very minor compared to what's in your story. I was diagnosed with osteo in my feet and was starting to feel twinges of arthritis pain elsewhere.
Your story is amazing and very inspiring.
YAY!! Awesome, just awesome!
Mark, I hope you'll share more of the success stories folks sent in with us. SOOOOO inspiring its wonderful to read them!
wow, that's great! i hope i can tell friends of mine who suffer from arthritis about this! it's hard to get people to listen and believe, because people are so set in their ways.
Good for you! What an incredible transformation in health and looks. I would also consider that you very well are in remission to Celiac Disease and the Primal eating has been, literally, the diet to save your life.
congratulation, your story inspiring me. I think what matter the most for everyone is will power, if we can manage and discipline ourselves, we definitely can do it.
Great story man, hopefully my girlfriend can see similar results with her Juvenile Rhumetoid Arthritis. It's localized to one knee and I know she has been on that methotrexate several times. She's going primal once we get settled into our new place, so this gives me more hope! It would make us both very happy if the JRA became a non-issue!
Good job, Michael! 😀
Truly an inspiration for me..
Awesome!! MDA and PB are a life saver for so many, glad to hear about your great success!!
"I had always gone along with conventional wisdom's idea of a balanced diet "
That was a really big mistake.

London (Jul. 23)
The British Government "will not be diverted by acts of violence in the search for a just and final solution of the Palestine problem," Prime Minister Clement Attlee stated today in Parliament, reporting on the bombing of the King David Hotel in Jerusalem where the secretariat of the Palestine Government and the British military headquarters were housed.
He said that 93 persons have been killed or are still listed as missing in the ruins of the hotel wing. The latest figures of casualties, he declared, are 41 known to be dead, 52 missing, and 53 injured.
"Of the outrages in Palestine — and they have been many and horrible during the last months — this is the worst," the Prime Minister told the House of Commons. He announced that Sir Alan Cunningham, High Commissioner for Palestine, who yesterday conferred twice with the British Cabinet on measures to combat terrorism in Palestine, left for Jerusalem.
Outlining the immediate British policy with regard to Palestine. Prime Minister Attlee said: "As the House knows, His Majesty's Government is momentarily in consultation with the government of the United States with a view of arriving at proposals for a just settlement of the Palestine problem. These proposals will be placed before the representatives of both the Arabs and the Jews."
Anthony Eden asked the Prime Minister for an assurance that the government will take every measure possible to suppress terrorism in Palestine and will provide local authorities with any sanction needed to prevent the recurrence of terrorist acts. Attlee replied: "Certainly. You realize that I am awaiting a full report from the High Commissioner."
The Prime Minister also told Parliament that he would consider calling upon Jewish leaders in Britain, including Zionist leaders, to condemn publicly the outrages in Palestine and to pledge loyal support of government steps to prevent repetition of such acts.
Samuel S. Silverman, Laborite, pointed out that the continued detention of Jewish leaders inevitably leaves the field free for others in Palestine. Attlee replied: "Mr. Silverman does injustice to the members of the Jewish Agency by suggesting that the arrests included the whole responsible leadership today. This is quite untrue."
Later Attlee's statement was read in the House of Lords where Lord Cranborne, speaking for the Conservatives, and Lord Perth, for the Liberals, expressed their parties' sympathy for the relatives of the victims. Lord Reading strongly condemned the outrage but warned the British people to pause and reflect before they indulged in universal condemnation of the Jews.

Steve Tyrell Biography
USA. Raised in Houston, Texas, Tyrells professional life began when he was a teenager and he sang with R&B bands at numerous venues in the state. He moved on to work in the music industry for many years, first joining Scepter Records when he was aged 19. Among sessions on which he was active in production capacities are those resulting in Dionne Warwicks hits Message To Michael, The Look Of Love and Alfie. He also worked with the Shirelles among many other singers and songwriters, including a role in B.J. Thomas 1969 hit, Raindrops Keep Fallin On My Head, and he co-produced Linda Ronstadts Grammy Award winners Dont Know Much (in duet with Aaron Neville) and Somewhere Out There (in duet with James Ingram), used on the soundtrack to 1986s An American Tail. Tyrell was for a while a producer of R&B for Atlantic Records. In Los Angeles, he moved into film and television work, sometimes as musical director. Among his credits is the television show WKRP. He composed scores for The Rainbow Warrior (1992), Family Prayers (1993), and Once Upon A Time... When We Were Colored (1995). In 1999 he had musical direction/supervision credits for Dudley Do-Right and Blast From The Past.
While working on the film Father Of The Bride (1991), Tyrell had recorded The Way You Look Tonight as a demo and when this was heard by the cast and crew it attracted a great deal of favourable comment and the song was used on the films soundtrack. He also sang the song with Rosemary Clooney at a Johnny Mercer tribute concert she gave at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in Los Angeles. These events led in time to Tyrells decision to record an album. The result, A New Standard, proved to be hugely popular with a wide audience, spending around two years on Billboard magazines jazz chart. He has continued to record standards and has enjoyed some success in clubs, especially with the older audience. Tyrell sings with a rough-edged voice and for his recording sessions is backed by front-rank session and jazz musicians.

As you prepare for a new business meeting or client presentation, remember that your personal presence can make an even stronger first impression than the content of your words. Here is a checklist of the elements of delivery, content, and attitude that convey assurance and credibility to prospective and existing clients and referral sources.
- Preparation
- Devote serious thought to what you want to ask and present rather than "winging it."
- Think "why do they need me?" to project a credible attitude.
- Try to identify the buyer's motivations—and appeal to them
- Attitude
- Non-verbal cues garner 90 percent of the attention.
- Come across as likeable, someone they would like to spend time with. Smile.
- Show through passion a belief in your message and what you are selling.
- Start small and get some quick results.
- Don't appear defensive, whatever they may question.
- Credibility
Factors that convey credibility include:
- Perception of honesty and commitment.
- Sincerity of interest in helping.
- Perception of education, knowledge, and experience.
- Dynamic delivery.
These aspects of language detract from credibility:
- Hesitation; voice fading.
- Ending statements with a questioning voice tone.
- Hedging.
- Overdoing "very" and other intensifiers.
- Compound questions.
- Tentative words like "hopefully."
- Absolute terms like "never" and "always," unless documented.
- Know What Motivates Buyers
- Perceived benefit and value because they lack or need something.
- Achievement.
- Fear.
- Affiliation.
- Power.
- Ego.
Remember prospects and clients need to know, like and trust you to put their business in your hands.

The Aspiring Women's Network is calling upon the women of Ilkley and beyond to celebrate International Women's Day by attending its 'Inspiring Change' event on Saturday, from 10am to noon at the Wheatley Arms.
International Women's Day is held annually on March 8 at a time where women across the world are connected and united through a global web of rich and diverse activities.
The event promises two hours of inspiration, networking, listening to and meeting women who have proactively taken steps to change some aspects of their lives.
Vera Woodhead, organiser of the event, said: "There is the misconception that change has to be big and is something that other people undertake because they have the time, money and resources to do so.
"This is not so. Anyone can change an aspect of their life and this event will showcase some of the ordinary women who have gone on to do something extraordinary in their own lives. Sharing stories can inspire others to bring about small changes in their own lives.
"The speakers include Kathryn Wills who has gone from being a full-time stay-at- home mum of three girls to training to become a teacher at the age of 47 and Jackie Davison who left her role as the Head of Lower School at Harrogate Ladies College to run a vintage china hire company."
In addition to networking there will also be practical advice and top tips from coach, Lisa Alto, on how to make change successful and lasting.
The event is free and is sponsored by The Wheatley Arms in Ben Rhydding. To reserve a place contact Vera Woodhead on 07990 731840 The Aspiring Women's Network is a monthly meeting place for women who work. It uses the collective wisdom of the group, its rich mix of diversity, perspectives, knowledge and expertise to help each other progress, find solutions to business and personal challenges in a supportive and stretching environment.

COLLOQUIUM: Mikhail Lomonosov - Father of Russian Science
We will briefly review review the life and achievements of Russian polymath Mikhail Lomonosov (1711-1765) who is rightfully called the "Father of Russian science" for his tireless promotion of Enlightenment, many outstanding contributions to natural sciences and foundation of the country's foremost Moscow University. Some of his projective works in physics, chemistry and astronomy were way ahead of his time, and one of them - discovery of Venus's atmosphere - will be presented in greater detail.

Sunny Leone has been a sensation ever since she's set foot in the film world not just for the bollywood audiences but for men from all over the country. After killing it in the bollywood movies Jism 2 and Shoot out at Wadala, the sexy siren is all set to tap her feet to an item song in kollywood!
The movie is the comedy-thriller Vadacurry starring Jai and Swathi in the lead roles. The song will have Jai dancing along with Sunny. Jai's character in the movie dreams of dancing with Sunny Leone when the song pops up in the movie. According to the director, the song will be colorful and not vulgar.
Speaking on how he got Sunny Leone in a kollywood item song, the director of Vadacurry Saravanarajan said, "We narrated the dream sequence to Sunny and she liked it. We are planning to shoot the song in December." And here's what he said about the song, "he's not grooving to an item number. We have roped in for a special song that unfolds as a dream sequence of Jai's character, who dreams of dancing with Sunny in the film. We have tried to make the song colourful, but it is not vulgar."

Mogadishu -
A car bomb exploded near a cafe in Somalia's capital, Mogadishu, on Thursday in an area close to the intelligence headquarters, killing at least seven people, police said.
"We have counted seven civilians killed in the car bomb, but the toll could be higher as many people were also wounded," police official Ahmed Mumin told AFP.
The cafe, near the city's Lido Beach, was reportedly popular with security officials.
The blast is the latest in a string of attacks in the dangerous capital, where al-Qaeda-linked al-Shabaab insurgents are fighting to topple the internationally-backed government.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility, but the blast comes just a week after the militants carried out a major attack against the heavily fortified presidential palace, killing officials and guards in a fierce gun battle.
The attack comes amid an apparent upsurge of al-Shabaab bombings in and around Mogadishu, with night-time mortar rounds fired into the vast, heavily guarded airport complex, home to the 22 000-strong African Union force fighting the al-Shabaab as well as foreign diplomats and aid workers.
The group, who also carried out last year's attack at the Westgate shopping mall in the Kenyan capital, in which gunmen killed at least 67 people, once controlled most of southern and central Somalia, but withdrew from fixed positions in the war-ravaged coastal capital two years ago.
AU troops - including large contingents from Uganda, Kenya and Burundi - have since recaptured the insurgents' main bases and tried to prop up Somalia's fledgling government forces. - Sapa-AFP

There have not been many bright spots for the Philadelphia Eagles this year as the team went from a promising contender to start the season to one of the worst teams in the NFL. But last Sunday Night's game against the Cowboys did have some positive takeaways for the future of the team. With nothing to play for but pride, the last four games of the season will be a good chance for the Eagles to evaluate their younger talent and hopefully identify future contributors.
Nick Foles had has his best outing of the season completing 22 of 34 passes for 251 yards and a touchdown. While he hasn't been tearing up the field, Foles has started to get a better hold on the offense and looked much more confident in his throws against a Cowboys defense that ranks 10th in the league against the pass. And with the confirmation that he will be the starter for the rest of the season, Foles now has the opportunity to show the organization that he is the future to the team.
Bryce Brown kept his mojo rolling with his second monster game in a row as the feature back with LeSean McCoy sitting on the sidelines with a concussion. Brown went for 169 yards on 24 carries with two touchdowns. Brown has really tried to make a name for himself with his two big performances coming on nationally televised feature games and has shown he has many of the tangible skills needed to be a star back in the league. His one problem has been ball security as he has lost three fumbles over those two games with each one coming at very costly times. With Brown performing like he has, it would be doubly smart for the Eagles to wait to bring McCoy back on the field. They would be saving McCoy from taking unnecessary punishment while at the same time seeing if Brown can keep up his pace against a Tampa Bay Bucs team that ranks first against the run.
It is clear that owner Jeffrey Lurie has decided it is time to turn the page with this Eagles team and look forward to the 2013 season. These promising rookies will have no better time to showcase their abilities in a relatively low pressure situation as everyone already classifies this year as a failure. With the entire organization's future unclear and a new coaching staff assuredly on the horizon, the team's young's players have a lot things to play for, even if the playoffs is not one of them.Tags: Bryce Brown, Football, Jeffrey Lurie, NFL, Nick Foles, Philadelphia, Philadelphia Eagles

Ideas from the American Academy of Dermatology on other therapies that could help in soothing eczema –
Eczema therapies that "guarantee" clear skin or promise an "amazing breakthrough" can be appealing. The longer you have been treating atopic dermatitis, the more alluring these ads may seem.
The truth is nothing cures atopic dermatitis. What researchers have found is that some therapies, when added to a treatment plan prescribed by a dermatologist, can improve results. Others have no effect. A few can cause serious, even life-threatening, side effects.
Behavior Modification + Topical Therapy: A Win-Win Approach
Adding a therapy called "behavior modification" to a treatment plan prescribed by a dermatologist may lead to clearer skin. Behavior modification is a technique used to help people change what they do so that they can get better results.
One behavior modification technique that has proven helpful for patients with atopic dermatitis is the combined approach. Used mostly in the United Kingdom, this approach teaches patients techniques that can help them avoid scratching. Patients also receive one-on-one training, usually from a nurse, on how to use moisturizer and their medications.
When tested in research studies, the combined approach produced dramatic results. Without the habitual scratching — people with atopic dermatitis may scratch their skin 500 to 1,000 times per day — and with proper use of topical therapy, even patients with severe long-term atopic dermatitis saw significantly clearer skin.
Bottom line: Avoiding scratching and using medication as directed allows the skin to heal. The combined approach is but one effective technique. To find tips that dermatologists tell their patients to help them reduce scratching, visit Preventing Flare-Ups.
Emotional Support Makes a Difference
A skin disease can diminish a person's quality of life. Patients with atopic dermatitis often have low self-esteem. Many say their skin makes them feel isolated and embarrassed. A support group, camp, or conferences created for people living with a skin condition can help.
Support group. In June 2003, a hospital in Brazil began a support group for children younger than 12 years of age who had atopic dermatitis. The group met every 15 days. Initially, the children were insecure and kept to themselves. Once they recognized their similarities, they began to interact with each other. After 6 to 8 meetings, the doctors noticed several improvements. The children developed stronger bonds with the medical staff. They learned more about atopic dermatitis and how to better manage their symptoms. As their self-confidence grew, their symptoms lessened.
Probiotics: More Research Needed
A few studies indicate that taking a dietary supplement containing probiotics (live bacteria) — when used along with topical therapy — may help reduce the severity and extent of atopic dermatitis in children. While these findings are promising, more research is needed. Each study tested a different blend of probiotics. The appropriate blend and dose for treating atopic dermatitis have not been determined. The long-term effects are not known.
Most of this research has been conducted in Europe and Australia. Researchers do not know if supplements now available in the United States can be beneficial for atopic dermatitis.
Bottom line: Before taking a supplement containing probiotics or giving one to a child, speak with a dermatologist. Ask if a supplement containing probiotics might help and if it is advisable to take this supplement. Some dietary supplements can trigger an allergic reaction; others can interact with medication. If the dermatologist believes probiotics may help, be sure to get a product recommendation. Dietary supplements are not regulated as strictly as medications.
Teas: The Right Blend May Help
Studies suggest that tea — whether green, black, or oolong — can prevent some allergic reactions. To find out if tea could benefit patients with atopic dermatitis, researchers in Japan recruited patients with atopic dermatitis who had not respond to other treatment. The patients were instructed to continue following their treatment plan and to drink one liter of oolong tea every day. The liter was to be divided into thirds so that one-third of it was drunk after each of three meals. Of the 118 patients who completed the study, 63% showed marked to moderate improvement after one month. This effect was first noticed after one or two weeks.
It should be noted that green, black, and oolong teas contain caffeine, which can increase restlessness, anxiety, and sleeplessness. Having atopic dermatitis produces these feelings in many patients, and caffeine may intensify these feelings.
Some people swear by a tea that does not contain caffeine. While chamomile is used worldwide to treat many conditions including atopic dermatitis, there is not enough reliable research in humans to support its use as a tea, essential oil, or in any other form.
One reason may be that too many cases of people developing an allergic reaction after eating or coming into contact with the chamomile plant have been reported. A few cases of anaphylaxis, a severe and potentially life-threatening allergic reaction, have occurred. Anaphylaxis makes blood pressure drop suddenly. Breathing becomes difficult. Some people loss consciousness and some die.
Bottom line: Limited research suggests that drinking oolong tea may help patients with atopic dermatitis when used along with treatment prescribed by a dermatologist. Chamomile has been shown to cause an allergic reaction, which in a few cases has been life threatening.

Plumlee had 23/7

Plumlee had 23/7
The question is about the competition level that OJ and Plumlee will be playing against.
I'm not disagreeing with your assessment of his playing time in the D-League....I am trying to figure out is would these skills translate on the NBA court against NBA level Players. I guess the answer to that rather obvious question is yes.....but what aludes me is why we aren't able to see these skills on display when he did get some time on the court when he was in the NBA. Is it a matter of confidence against more talented Players? Is it a simple matter of playing time? Is it a matter of Vogel telling him to fit into a particular role that he is not familiar with because his role was different on his previous team?
Just watched the game. Loved OJ's play. That's by far the best I've seen him play since we drafted him. I'd love to see him get some more time at Fort Wayne to get his confidence built back up.
Miles looked good too. It was nice to see them draw up a play for him at the end. And it was great that he converted it.
Looks like Orlando and Plumlee are leaving the d-league team for the west coast road trip.
Looks like OJ and Miles made a stop in Warsaw on their way back from Ft Wayne.
Teammate bonding over spoiled applesauce. :laugh:
Miles Plumlee @milesplumlee13
@Pace_O11 thought this applesauce at my house didn't taste quite like applesauce. Then we saw the '09 on the label lol
EDIT: i assume when you were talking about his NBA time on the court you meant summer league, he has about 3 minutes of PT in the NBA right now
Excellent article by Mark Montieth on Mile's and OJ's D League adventure. Quotes from the Mad Ants coach and Mel Daniels. Sounds like it was a positive experience for both of them. And it sounds like they actually got some coaching, I wasn't sure how much of that would happen over a weekend stint.
Here's a Mel Daniels quote to whet your appetite.
Longtime Pacers scout Mel Daniels drove up to watch Sunday's game, and came away most impressed with Plumlee.
"He runs well, and he has a good feel on the (low-post) block," Daniels said. "His problem is that he thinks rather than reacts, so it causes him to seem a little slow and not be as explosive as he should be. I think those things will come in time. He needs to be shown how to be efficient in the interior, by using his body and using his legs to help him rebound."
I really loved this quote from the coach of the Mad Ants:
There's nothing better than a "You'll be back" from a minor league coach to keep you motivated. :laugh:Quote:
I think this was a great experience for both of them, Ants coach Duane Ticknor said. They were happy to be here; they were glad to get back on the court. Well welcome them when they come back again.
I was expecting to see Hibbert's name.

A group of young bar-goers of different sexual orientations come to terms with each other's differences.
Catering for a range of social, racial and sexual orientations, P.J. Castellaneta's comedy is overlong and decidedly messy in its La Ronde-like structure.
A jarring rape sequence that seems to belong in a different film apart, this is at least inoffensive, the genial proceedings presided over by Jennifer Tilly as the den mother of a crisis-ridden assembly of misfits and mavericks. It's the peripheral characters who prove to be more memorable.
Overly long, incoherant comedy saved by some excellent peripheral characters.

The North Georgia baseball team watched its season come to a close Monday in the NCAA Division II World Series.
The third-ranked Nighthawks fell to No. 1 Delta State in an elimination game, 4-0, in Grand Prairie, Texas. Earlier, North Georgia opened the eight-team championship with a 9-4 loss to West Chester.
When Rachel Harden looked for a historically black college to attend, she fell in love with Florida A&M.
Even better, she started receiving attention for her tennis play last summer. After she took an official tour in November, Harden received a scholarship offer.
The Evans standout recently signed with the Division I school.
"I'm really excited to be able to compete after high school," Harden said. "While I'm there, I have to get better. I can't stay in the same place."
Football camp
Evans High School football camp is Thursday and Friday for grades kindergarten-8. Cost is $50 (preregistration includes T-shirt) or $60 the day of. Drinks and snacks included. For more information, call Lemuel Lackey at (706) 863-1198.^
Softball camp
Greenbrier and Harlem Fastpitch softball camp for girls in grades 1-8, 9 a.m.-1 p.m., June 5-9, at Patriots Park. Cost: $100 first child, $75 per additional sibling. For more information, call Garrett Black at (706) 564-9653 or Mike Leverett at (706) 836-6026.
Baseball camp
Garrett Marchman was forced to put his baseball career on hold his junior season.
A year later, the Greenbrier infielder accomplished his dream of playing at the next level, recently signing an offer with East Georgia College.
"It's a lot of pressure off my shoulders," he said. "This is something I've been working for ever since I got into high school."
Last year, doctors discovered an ulcer on Marchman's small intestine. The ulcer leaked bile into his stomach, forcing him to stay in the hospital for a week. He also missed most of the baseball season.
Garrett Black and Mike Leverett each are concerned about softball in Columbia County.
That might sound strange coming from coaches who each own state titles. But it's not the high school-aged players they're worried about. Instead, Black and Leverett want to see more softball players at a younger age - not just at their respective places, but all around the area.
"If you don't promote it, softball will go down in the county," Leverett said. "It has gotten better."
WAYNESBORO - Chase Johnson played one hole Tuesday morning. The other 17 would never happen. With a wave of showers pounding Waynesboro Country Club, tournament organizers were forced to end the Class AA boys golf championship after just one round.
Model posted 27-over 315 in Monday's first round to win the event by three shots over Harlem and Vidalia. Jefferson County finished eighth among the 10 teams.
The runner-up finish by the Bulldogs is believed to be their best showing at the state championship in school history - the team has never won a state title.
Bidding for its first state championship since 2010, Lakeside fell just short in the Class AAAAAA championship Tuesday.
The Panthers posted rounds of 294-289 for a 7-over-par 583 total at Chattahoochee Golf Club in Gainesville, Ga. Lakeside finished third, four shots behind champion Johns Creek (579) and Creekview (582).
Greenbrier tied for fifth at 589. The Wolfpack followed an opening 301 with 288.
Evans checked in at ninth in the 18-team tournament. The Knights posted rounds of 306-294.
I've never been great when it comes to change. I admit that.
All my life, I've heard that I needed to adapt to change, that change was inevitable. I've sorted of swum against the change stream as much as possible. I've attended the same church (Bath Presbyterian) for 43 years, worked at the same place for 19 years and been faithfully married to the same woman for 15 years. When there's something good going on, there's no need for disruption.
Evans High School football camp is June 1-2 for grades kindergarten-8. Cost is $50 (preregistration includes T-shirt) or $60 the day of. Drinks and snacks included. For more information, call Lemuel Lackey at (706) 863-1198.^

Enjoy the sights, sounds, flavours, action and colour of Australia's...read more
Enjoy the sights, sounds, flavours, action and colour of Australia's best outdoor market - proudly operated by the City of Hobart - every Saturday from 8:30am to 3:00pm at Hobart's Salamanca Place. Set between graceful plane trees and the mellow sandstone facades of historic warehouses, Hobart's famous market at Salamanca Place attracts thousands of locals and visitors, every Saturday of the year. They come to visit more than 300 stalls for the food and music, fresh fruit, crisp organic vegetables, hot baked spuds, the warm aroma of a coffee and croissant, buskers singing the blues, stroking a harp or strumming a lively folk song. They come for breakfast, scrambled eggs and orange juice at a Salamanca cafe, then a stroll along the hundreds of stalls, meeting friendly people who make or grow what they sell. Salamanca Market highlights fine Tasmanian art & craft including hand-worked glass, innovative design in Tasmanian timbers, stylish clothing and bold ceramics. Salamanca Market is close to historic St David's Park on the fringe of Hobart's central business district. From the market, it's a short climb up Kelly's Steps to reach the Georgian cottages and the village atmosphere of Battery Point. Hobart's picturesque waterfront is also nearby - cross Salamanca lawns to the docks, where hard-working fishing boats are berthed close to cruising yachts and a square-rigger or two.
