WWE vs TNA 1x ppv event.....you book the matches challenge
by, 06-02-2012 at 04:48 PM (8286 Views)
I decided to challenge myself into booking the best show I can with both TNA and WWE talent pools. Trying to sell a huge ppv featuring TNA vs WWE. It is a bit similar to something AWA and other territories did to try to compete with WWE and NWA. For those of you who would like to challenge yourself as well here are the rules you must go by, leave your card in the comment section so I can see it, and have some fun. The rules: #1: Don't book gimmick matches plz!! If I would allow gimmick matches we would probably see crazy cards like Cena vs Roode in a cage match, monster ball match with god knows how many different people involved. Keep it simple plz don't go out of your way to book everyone. No battle royals either. #2 Every match has got to be TNA vs WWE. Someone representing their brand. Don't book fatal 4 ways or 3 ways. Keep it WWE vs TNA and not WWE vs WWE or TNA vs TNA. #3 Use active wrestlers who are actually on the show every week and who can actual wrestle. Hogan can't get in the ring and plz don't respond with some stupid Cena joke. No Hogan, Flair, Taker, Sting, HHH, Rock, and I think you get the point. #4 10 match limit we don't want to get crazy and book 15-20 matches on the show. #5 Book the top draws/superstars. Don't be some mark booking jobbers who can't even make a Raw/Impact/SD while keeping guys like Jeff Hardy, Cena, or even Punk off the show. You must use the top guys!! Almost forgot, book at least one Divas vs Knockout match of your 10 matches. Let us have a bit of fun with this!! Your goal is to get people to buy your fake show. LOL!
AJ Styles vs John Cena-One could argue this, but I believe AJ is the face of TNA wrestling. Been there since day 1 and has been one of my favorites in TNA since I began watching til now. John Cena is without question the face of the company. Why not have the faces of each company face in a one on one match?
Kurt Angle vs Daniel Bryan-Submission, technical wrestling!! In my opinion, be the match of the night without question if my show actually happened. Kurt Angle is and has been my favorite wrestler for some time now despite his lame twitter rants. The match that decides who's the best in the world. I like Punk and Jericho, but Angle/Bryan are better in the ring if you ask me.
Mr.Anderson vs Orton-Mr.Anderson hates Randy Orton because he believes Orton caused him to lose his job in WWE. Similar to a Hardy/Edge fued in 2005.
Kane vs Abyss-Abyss has always reminded me of two characters from WWE's past. Those two characters were Mankind and Kane which is why I booked him in a match with Kane. Storyline I'd use would be Kane has been watching him quietly rise to the top of the ranks in TNA making a name for himself imitating him.
Bobby Roode vs Sheamus-This match may be the most weird of the show, but I'm going to state why I booked this match. Before Roode's new look came about he looked strangely similar to HHH. Guess what, Sheamus has the same facial hair as HHH. Terrible reason to book the match that way, but you know how it is.
CM Punk vs Jeff Hardy-Hacing Jeff/Punk on the same show with no confrontation would be a disappointment if you ask me. Who ended Jeff's last run in WWE? CM Punk!! Just natural that they cross paths again.
Samoa Joe vs Chris Jericho-You look at WWE's roster trying to find Joe an opponent is tough. I went with Jericho because they are both submission type wrestlers which would help it make a bit of sense. Punk vs Joe was considered, but who would face Jeff Hardy? Jeff is probably the biggest draw in TNA....he's gotta be on the show. Storyline I'd probably go with would be Jericho doesn't truly believe everything he has been saying such as he is the best in the world at what he does. Why can't it be true? He hasn't defeated Samoa Joe!!
Cody Rhodes vs James Storm-Debate whether to have Miz or Rhodes vs Storm, but I chose Rhodes. Why Rhodes vs Storm? Storm's history as being a redneck like Cody Rhodes father. Cody however hasn't embraced his father's roots in the business. Cody over the years has been worrying about his looks, being clean and so forth by forgetting where he came from which would probably be the storyline I'd go with.
Rey Mysterio vs Austin Aries-Why Rey Mysterio vs Aries? In TNA the X-Division is a no limits division mainly for smallers wrestlers like Rey Mysterio and other cruiserweights. Rey is a huge fan fav among the kids and Aries can be one of the best heels in the biz. Guys like Rey opened doors for guys like Aries to have a division of their own. Which probably would be my storyline heading into the match.
ODB vs Eve-Why Eve some may ask? What heel on the WWE roster draws heat like she does. Why ODB? ODB does get a strong reaction from the crowd and is a strong face. ODB and Eve are complete opposites which makes the match entertaining.
I'm certainly planning on doing an attitude era type of one. May do a 3rd featuring ROH in the mix. Hope you liked the card I booked. Welcome critics along with some praise wouldn't hurt. Just something different that I thought would be fun for several other bloggers out there who may have read this.

This is the final installment of a four-part series examining the signing classes for the Kentucky football team from 2008-11. Taking another look at how the previous recruiting classes panned out can help explain where the program has been and where it might be this year.
Below is a brief summary of each player's career to this point. Players are organized into groups according to how their careers played out, then listed alphabetically.
After just one year, it's early to re-examine the 2011 class. But there have already been some changes, and some of the 25 signees have already made their presence felt. Of the 25, 10 played as true freshmen, 10 redshirted, three never reached campus, and two departed the program following the 2011 season. The class was ranked No. 61 on signing day by Rivals.com.
Many of those who played early, especially those on defense, were important contributors as true freshmen. And at least two of those who redshirted are expected to be starters this fall. The class also includes the presumptive starting quarterback on for the season opener. If the Wildcats are to exceed expectations this fall, the 2011 class could be the core of the turnaround from last year's 5-7 campaign.
Still on team
Marcus Caffey: Redshirted as a running back in 2011. Moved to cornerback in the offseason and will likely open the season as starting boundary corner.
Josh Clemons: Physically impressive running back earned starting job early in the season before tearing his meniscus on Oct. 8. Did not take contact in spring practice, but should be healthy at start of fall camp.
Bookie Cobbins: Signed as a quarterback and redshirted during the 2011 season. Moved to wide receiver in the offseason, but missed some of spring while focusing on academics.
Christian Coleman: Became an important player in the defensive tackle rotation as a true freshman despite many more experienced players in front of him. Likely to fill a similar role this year.
Daryl Collins: Wide receiver would have played as a true freshman before suffering a torn meniscus in fall camp. Expected to be a contributor as slot receiver and returner in 2012.
Rashad Cunningham: Big receiver gained nearly 25 pounds while redshirting in 2011, but likely won't be a major player in 2012.
Eric Dixon: Defensive back contributed quietly as a true freshman, played nickelback. Expected to be in the mix at corner and nickel as a sophomore.
Alvin Dupree: Jumbo athlete settled at linebacker in fall camp after signing as a tight end. Had 2.5 sacks as a true freshman and was impressive late in the season. Will be a starter in fall and could be a star going forward.
Glenn Faulkner: Highly-touted safety played mostly on special teams in 2011. Could see increased playing time on defense as a sophomore.
Josh Forrest: Signed with UK as an athlete and redshirted. Listed behind Miles Simpson at the hybrid linebacker/safety position.
Farrington Huguenin: Defensive end reached campus with this class after signing originally in 2010. Redshirted in 2011, but appeared to help himself in spring and could play this year.
Shaq Love: Offensive lineman redshirted this year and will have opportunity to play his way into the rotation at guard in 2012.
Ashely Lowery: Was a contributor throughout the season at safety, but came into his own when pressed into the starting lineup late in the year after Martavius Neloms was injured.
Darrian Miller: Offensive lineman played early and often in 2011. Will start at left tackle as a sophomore.
Travaughn Paschal: Defensive end not eligible to play in 2011 because he played two years of prep school, but practiced with team. Moved to hybrid linebacker/defensive end role in spring 2012.
Demarius Rancifer: Linebacker redshirted in 2011. Likely a second-stringer in 2012.
Demarco Robinson: Tiny wide receiver played sparingly in 2011, but was a star of spring practice and should see an increased role.
Maxwell Smith: Enrolled in January 2011 as a greyshirt. Became starting quarterback following injury to Morgan Newton and will likely open the 2012 season as starter.
D.J. Warren: Was starting fullback in 2011, but playing time on offense was hit-and-miss. Could see an increased role in 2012 as he gains experience.
Zach West: Lexington-area standout redshirted in 2011, but will be a starter at guard this year.
No longer with program
Nile Daniel: Wide receiver didn't qualify in time for fall camp and came up short again while trying to become eligible to join the team in spring. Landed at Garden City Junior College in Kansas.
James Elliot: Redshirted, then transferred to South Alabama after the season. Would have been the backup center in 2012.
Daylen Hall: Played extensively on special teams as a true freshman, but was dismissed for violation of team rules before spring practice. Later arrested in Louisville for striking a police officer.
Bubby Tandy: Wide receiver never reached campus and spent 2011 at a junior college in Mississippi.
David Washington: Defensive lineman never reached campus and spent 2011 at Hinds Junior College in Mississippi.
Map below, compiled by Aaron Smith, shows high school, prep school or junior-college location of each 2010 UK signee. A blue marker means that player is still on the team. A red marker means the player is not on UK's roster.

I am sure that most of you are tired of seeing the WrestleMania 29 predictions posts (there are only about 50,000 of them on here). Nonetheless, I thought I would bore you with my own. I have done some deep thought over the past few weeks and the following post is how I *think* WrestleMania will turn out on Sunday night. The matches are presented in the order that I think they will be in.

Ender's Game, the adaptation of Orson Scott Card's seminal sci-fi YA novel starring Asa Butterfield, Harrison Ford, and Abigail Breslin, has staked out some interesting territory today. Originally slated for release on March 15, 2013, Summit Entertainment announced today the film had been pushed to Nov. 1, 2013.
That puts Ender's Game — currently in production with director Gavin Hood (X-Men Origins: Wolverine) at the helm — just three weeks ahead of the release date for the thematically similar Hunger Games' sequel Catching Fire. That franchise is the newly minted crown jewel for Lionsgate — which recently purchased Summit for $412 million. Apparently, the Summit and Lionsgate folks think there's room in the same month for two dystopian literary adaptations about a group of adolescent children rounded up by a totalitarian government to do battle with each other. Of course, Nov. 2013 is a long way off, and Catching Fire has yet to nail down its director, let alone commence production. Someone may flinch yet.

ST. LOUIS — Ted Ginn Jr. raised his hands but there was no way he was going to snag Colin Kaepernick's errant pitch Sunday, leading to the St. Louis Rams' tying touchdown and an eventual 16-13 overtime loss for the 49ers.
"It was a messed-up play," Ginn said. "We could have done better. It's not anybody's fault. It's not mine, not Kap's, not coach's."
It changed the game, and both Kaepernick and coach Jim Harbaugh accepted blame for the fourth-quarter fiasco.
Holding a 10-2 lead with 3:11 remaining, Kaepernick faked a handoff up the middle to Frank Gore, then flicked the football with his left hand way over Ginn's head at the 10-yard line. Rams cornerback Janoris Jenkins corralled the fumble at the 4 and popped up over the goal line in a shocking turn of events.
Lance Kendricks caught the ensuing two-point conversion and the 49ers' worst-case scenario had unfolded. Why would they dare to run such a dangerous play so deep in their territory?
"It was too risky of a play to call at the time," Harbaugh conceded. "When we called it, we really though it was a safe play. But then we got the edge pressure and Colin pulled and was forced to pitch right away. It threw the rhythm and timing off."
Harbaugh said his players weren't at fault and that the play call is one he would love to have back.
Making his third career start, Kaepernick had run similar pitch plays like that countless times in his flourishing days at the University of Nevada.
"I just pitched it high. It's my fault all the way," Kaepernick said. "I was trying to make a play.
"I should have played it safe. I should have just kept it, let the clock run, let our punter get on the field, let our defense play."
Instead, Jenkins scored his third touchdown in two weeks, having returned two interceptions for scores a week ago in the Rams' win over Arizona.
"I don't know what they were trying to accomplish there, but we took advantage of one of their mistakes," Rams coach Jeff Fisher of Kaepernick's wild pitch.
Center Jonathan Goodwin said the fake-dive-option-pitch play has been in their playbook and they've practiced it. Goodwin was unsure if they've ever attempted it in a game. When asked of the play's history, Ginn would only say: "We run a lot of plays."
Running back Frank Gore refused to pin the 49ers' loss on that failed play. "We had more opportunities to go downfield and do things, but we hurt ourselves," Gore said.

In his first quarterly earnings report for Chiquita Brands International, Ed Lonergan reported the company lost more than twice as much in the third quarter this year as it did in 2011.
Net sales were also down, dropping about 1% in the quarter, compared to 2011, coming in at $714 million.
Lonergan, who took over as chief executive officer Oct. 8 — eight days after the third quarter ended on Sept. 30 — said during a conference call Nov. 7 that the report was better than he had expected.
"I'm excited to join this company," the new CEO said. "I like where the company is heading."
Reporting a $67 million loss during 3Q of 2012 compared to a $29 million loss for the 2011 third quarter, Lonergan said he believes the decision by the Charlotte, N.C.-based company to focus on bananas and bagged salads would turn the numbers around.
"In two to three years we will reach 4% margins in bananas and 7% to 8% in salads," Lonergan said.
He repeatedly referred to recently-signed banana contracts in North America during the earnings call as one of the reasons for his optimism. For the quarter, net banana sales dropped 1.6% to $446 million compared to $453 million in 2011.
Salads and "healthy snacks," which Chiquita lumps together in its balance sheet, were flat for the quarter compared to 2011, coming in again at $240 million.
Lonergan said salads, particularly private label salads, are a growth area for the company, though. One aspect of that growth equation, he said, will be reducing costs by doing less consumer advertising for salads in North America. He said most consumers are more interested in Chiquita's new salad clamshell packaging and kits than brands.
A financial analyst on the conference call asked if reducing consumer advertising for bagged salads would damage the category overall. Chief financial officer Brian Kocher said it would not.
"We will still maintain our trade programs and in-store promotions," Kocher said. "What we are dropping is consumer brand-related ads because they did not deliver the returns we needed."
Lonergan further explained the strategy.
"Retailers make the decision for consumers on salads as to what brand is on the shelves," Lonegran said. "(Therefore) trade advertising and programs are more important."
The new CEO said Chiquita is dealing with its private label salad contracts one-by-one, discussing customer needs as they come up.
Kocher said the company's proprietary wash system, which has been controversial in the fresh produce community, is only involved in "a couple of products" and is not a key factor in Chiquita's salad operations or expectations for improvement in the segment.

I have a razer blackwidow, not the ultimate model. It's pretty sweet, so far I have no complaints. Been using it for couple months now. Its buttons are just a fraction farther away from each other which took a bit of getting used to from me, since I've used low profile buttoned keyboards mostly.
Cool. Thinking about picking it up for gaming. I hear the mechanical key's are supposed to make you a better typist and all that jazz so supposedly it's THE keyboard to have. Little nervous about some reviews I've been reading about keys being too close together so that everytime you press the space bar (for example) the alt key comes down with it. Also not a big fan of the lack of indent on the caps lock key, that'll take some getting used to. You do any gaming with it? Curious about ghosting issues, I've heard the WSAD keys can have issues registering when shift+alt are pressed as well.
Also got my eyes on DASKeyboard...
I've had some weird ghosting problems with WASD and shift+alt, but just couple of times on the whole frame of time I've owned the thing, and yes, I do quite bit of gaming with it. The WASD problems went away pretty early after they updated the firmware. I just tried a whole bunch of combinations with ctrl, alt and shift pressed down. They all worked including all kinds of WASD movements plus R and spacebar as well. So no issues for me. I've had no sticking together-problem with alt and spacebar either. I do have the scandinavian layout version of the board though, I have no idea if the ghosting issues are just a USA layout problem.

Jorge Ruiz Esparza with his wife.
Whenever we invite a person to join us spreading the
Good News on an evangelization mission we generally say: "It
will be an incredible experience", "It´s the best way to
spend your Holy Week" ... Perhaps we have forgotten to
mention: "It´s the best way to gain graces for heaven."
On March 6th Jorge Ruiz, a Regnum
Christi member and active collaborator in evangelization missions, saw his
mission on earth come to an end. We would like
to share the testimony of his life with you as
an example of a person who dedicated his life to
serving others generously on many missions. Jorge lived in Mexico
City with his wife and three daughters. Ever since he
joined Regnum Christi the missions were an
ordinary part of his life. He participated in many weekend
missions with Familia Misionera, the Missionary Families for the Third
Millennium sister organization in Mexico, and the annual Holy Week
Megamissions. He was known for his spirit of service, kindness,
charity and a constant interest to bring the greatest number
of souls closer to Christ possible. On the morning of
March 6th he attended a meeting at Oxford Institute in
Mexico City to finish off some last minute details for
the Megamission, never thinking that this would be his last
day of life. After the meeting he drove to Puebla
for a business engagement. On the way home he was
involved a fatal car accident. His journal had one entry
for that day: "Lord, what would you like of me
today?" Numerous people attended his funeral Mass at the Oxford
Institute: Regnum Christi members, work associates and
many people from the different towns that he had gone
to for missions with Familia Misionera. They all came together
to pray for the eternal rest of Jorge Ruiz. After
the funeral, his family went to the crypt to deposit
the ashes of his body; next to the urn they
placed a missionary cross and three letters from his daughters
thanking him for being a wonderful father and a Christian
apostle. It saddens us to have lost an apostle of
the Church but it brings us great joy to know
that he has conquered his final goal. "He accomplished his
mission as a Christian and an apostle." (June 18,

Infectious Diseases
I.D. Procedures/Dentists
At a recent visit to my dentist`s office for my 6 month exam, the dentist, who had latex gloves on, used his fingers inside my mouth to hook and pull my cheek out to see the sides of my teeth with his mirror and pick. He then pulled his pen out of his shirt pocket and wrote his findings on my dental record several times. My question is this: if he has used that pen with my saliva on it from his gloves (and I presume he used it on others prior to me) -- doesn`t that break the chain of infectious disease protection to the patient from one patient to another? If so, assuming bodily fluids (saliva) may have dryed on his pen (maybe), does that mitigate the risk.?With all the hepatitis "A" concerns from a Chi- Chi`s restaurant in the area (550 people infected, 3 deaths), how concerned should I be and if this is a "significant" problem, how do I approach it with the dentist. And, lastly, is it enough of a concern that I need to do anything in order to protect myself at this point to any exposure possibilities?
Thank you very much for your assistance.
This may not be the best technique, but the risk to you is extremely low.

text: Euler found sixty-five integers, which he called "numeri idonei", that could be used to prove the primality of certain numbers. The four papers that Euler presented to the Petersberg Academy in 1778 on this subject were, according to Andre Weil, "so ill coordinated with one another, and some of the formulations and proofs in them are so confused and defective, that one is tempted to attribute them to a variety of assistants over whom Euler was not keeping close control". The typical definition of these numbers that one finds in the literature, such as in Scharlau and Opolka's "From Fermat to Minkowski", Joe Robert's "Lure of the Integers" (p.266), or Dickson's "History of the Theory of Numbers", is that m is a numerus idoneus if every odd integer q that has exactly one representation of the form x^2 + m y^2 (with x,y corpime) is a prime. Actually, Scharlau and Opolka elaborate on this a bit, and say (p.30) that the numeri idonei have the following property: "If ab=m and if a number can be uniquely written in the form ax^2 + by^2 with ax,by relatively prime, then this number is of the form p, 2p, or 2^k where p is a prime; specifically, any odd number that can be written uniquely in this way is a prime." This seems to have come directly out of Dickson (Vol 1, p361). Most references don't give the complete list of these numbers. Instead, they usually just say that Euler found 65 of them, the largest of which is 1848, and thirty-seven of them are square-free. S. Chowla proved (in 1934) that the number of numeri idonei is finite, and it is known that there can be at most ONE more square-free numerus idoneus beyond those found by Euler. Whether such another number exists is still an open question. The sixty-five known idoneal numbers are 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 12 13 15 16 18 21 22 24 25 28 30 33 37 40 42 45 48 57 58 60 70 72 78 85 88 93 102 105 112 120 130 133 165 168 177 190 210 232 240 253 273 280 312 330 345 357 385 408 462 520 760 840 1320 1365 1848 It might appear that there is a problem with the commonly quoted definition of these numbers, according to which the only odd numbers expressible in exactly one way in the form x^2 + 2y^2 (with x and y coprime) must be primes. The "problem" is illustrated by prime powers like 9 = (1)^2 + 2(2)^2, which has only this one single representation given the constraint that x and y are coprime. Andre Weil, in his book "Number Theory from Hammurapi to Legendre" (p.225) gives a more subtle definition that seem to be closer to the truth when he says that "N, if square-free, is idoneus if and only if every prime divisor p of X^2 + NY^2, prime to 2N, is such that either p or 2p (or both) can be expressed as ux^2 + vy^2 with uv=N." This definition is consistent with the fact that 9 has exactly one representation of the form x^2 + 2y^2, because the prime divisors of 9 are 3 = (1)^2 + 2(1)^2. Also, for the number N=5 we find that 49 is expressible in just one way in the form x^2 + 5y^2, and although 7 is not so expressible, 2*7=14 is expressible as (3)^2 + 5(1)^2. All this supports Weil's version of the definition. However, the more common definitions are also correct IF we apply the stated conditions sequentially, i.e., we should say The number m is a numerus idoneus if a sufficient condition for primality of an odd integer q is that q has exactly one representation of the form x^2 + m y^2 and in that single representation x is co-prime to my. Another equivalent definition is that if k is an odd number expressible in exactly one way in the form x^2 + Ny^2 for some numerus idoneus N, then k is a prime power. This seems more restrictive than Weil's definition, since he would allow k to be a product of distinct expressible primes. On the other hand, this condition also seems to be sufficient, i.e., if every odd uniquely N-expressible number is a prime power, then N is idoneal, so we don't need to refer to the expressibility of 2p in order to determine the idoneal values of N. By the way, it's interesting to note the relation between the integers n such that the complex quadratic field k(sqrt(-n)) is "simple" (i.e., unique factorization holds) and the set of numbers that have a unique representation in the form x^2 + ny^2 for coprime integers x,y. The only simple complex quadratic fields are those with n = 1, 2, 3, 7, 11, 19, 43, 67, or 163. For example, consider the case n=163. Every odd number less than 1750 that is expressible in exactly one way in the form x^2 + 163 y^2 is a prime, so we might be tempted to think that 163 is a "numerus idoneus". However, the number 1763 = 41*43 is uniquely expressible (and neither 41 nor 43 are expressible in this form, nor are their doubles). Continuing on, it appears that every uniquely expressible odd number with n=163 must either be a prime power OR a product of two or more of the non- expressible primes 41, 43, 47, 53, 61, 71, 83, 97, 113, ... This is clearly related to Euler's famous "prime producing" polynomial f(x) = x^2 + x + 41, since the above primes are evidently f(k) for k = 0,1,2,3,... The discriminant of this of course -163. Similarly, with n=67 we find that every uniquely expressible odd number less than 320 is a prime, but beginning with 323=17*19 we find uniquely expressible odd numbers composed of two or more of the prime factors 17, 19, 23, 29, 37,... These values are evidently those given by the polynomial f(x) = x^2 + x + 17 for x=0,1,2,3,..., and the discriminant of this polynomial is -67. This same type of behavior also applies to n=43, for which the uniquely representable numbers are all primes until reaching 143=11*13, and thereafter the non-prime powers are all products of two or more of 11, 13, 17, 23, 31,... Similar behavior is shown by n=19, although for n=11 (the smallest number that is NOT a "numerus idoneus") the pattern of unsuitable numbers seems to be somewhat scrambled. Then we reach n=7 (as well as n=3, 2, and 1), for which the only uniquely expressible odd numbers are prime powers. It's interesting that the boundary seems to be around n=11, which is the largest value of n such that the complex quadratic field k(sqrt(-n)) is Euclidean, i.e., possessing a Euclidean algorithm.

Cedar Hill State Park to Host Adventure Race, 5k-15k Run
Unique Triathlon Format at DFW Area Park for Trail Run, Mountain Bike and Paddling Events
CEDAR HILL—Ordinarily, the miles of scenic hike and bike trails of the 1,500-acre Cedar Hill State Park are a welcome retreat for nature lovers seeking respite from surrounding urban sprawl. But this weekend, those same wooded paths along the shores of Joe Pool Reservoir in the southern DFW Metro area will play host to a series of running events, including a unique triathlon format of the Eco Lone Star Adventure Race series and the XTERRA Trail Run 5k and 15k.
Fitness and adventure enthusiasts can register as individuals or as a team for this USARA-sanctioned event up until race time, which is set for 8 a.m. on Saturday, March 9 for the adventure race, and 9 a.m. on Sunday, March 10 for the 5k and 15k.
Saturday's Eco Lone Star Adventure Race has two options: a Sport Adventure race, which lasts 2-3 hours and covers 10-17 miles of mountain biking, 3-5 miles of trail running and 1-2 miles of paddling; or the Extreme Adventure race, a more challenging trek of 6-12 hours, with 20-30 miles of mountain biking, 8-12 miles of paddling, 10-15 miles of land and trail navigation, as well as additional mystery events and challenges.
Sunday's XTERRA Trail Run 5k and 15k are both scheduled for the park's bike trails, are subject to weather and trail conditions, and accumulate points for each the XTERRA Trail Run and Pure Austin Trail Running series.
"Cedar Hill State Park is a great location for adventure-type events," said Jeff Achee, ranger at Cedar Hill State Park. "Being in a major metropolitan area makes it convenient to get to, and our trail system and water access are conducive to hosting events that have multiple formats. We've already got about 100 people each for Saturday and Sunday's runs."
Advanced registration is encouraged, as participants will need to be familiar with equipment requirements, such as drinking water, life jackets and a compass, and all fees.

The natural gas rotary rig count, as reported by Baker Hughes Incorporated, rose by 2 this week to 600, after falling to a 10-year low of 598 last week. After increasing modestly to 936 active rigs in the fall of 2011, the natural gas rig count has dropped sharply. The oil rig count, currently at 1,382, has generally risen steadily since 2009, largely in response to increasing crude oil prices.
Natural gas rigs are currently down about 31 percent from their level at the same time last year, while oil rigs have risen by 45 percent over the same period. However, increased productivity from shale gas formations (generated by horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing) and rising associated production from expanding oil-directed development activity have helped maintain robust natural gas production.
At the NYMEX, the June 2012 contract increased from $2.618 per MMBtu last Wednesday to $2.737 per MMBtu yesterday, an increase of 11.9 cents per MMBtu (4.5 percent) over the period. The June 2012 contract led the futures market upturn with a 4.5 percent rally on expectations that hotter weather (and greater consumption) was approaching and that weekly inventory builds seemed to be moderating compared to the five-year average. The 3-Month Strip (average of June-July-August contracts) followed suit with a 10.7 cent per MMBtu (4.0 percent) gain for the week.
Movement in the Henry Hub day-ahead price reflected a widespread increase in market prices in this week's cash market by rising 4.0 percent, from $2.50 per MMBtu the previous Wednesday to $2.60 per MMBtu yesterday. As the Spot Prices tab on the left shows, the Henry Hub cash price rose beginning last Thursday. During the same period, numerous other spot market pricing points exhibited similar gains and also held or increased slightly.
Nearly all downstream trading locations registered higher prices despite consumption dropping modestly this week. Spot prices at Transcontinental Pipeline's Zone 6 trading point for delivery into New York City, which started the week at $2.64 per MMBtu, gained $0.13 per MMBtu over the week (Wednesday to Wednesday) to close at $2.77 per MMBtu (up 4.9 percent). Over the same period, the Chicago citygate spot price registered a 5-cent per MMBtu price gain (from $2.57 per MMBtu last Wednesday), ending the week at $2.62 per MMBtu (up 1.9 percent).
In the midst of seasonal temperatures throughout the more-populated regions over the past week, total consumption decreased slightly. According to estimates from BENTEK Energy LLC (Bentek), domestic natural gas consumption fell by 0.9 percent from last week. The residential/commercial sector led the decrease, posting a 9.1 percent decline, and the industrial sector registered a 0.8 percent decrease. The power sector, however, showed a partially offsetting 3.5 percent week-over-week gain attributed to increased power burn in Texas and key regions including the Northeast, Southeast, Midcontinent, and Rockies.
Total supply was up slightly for the week despite flat dry gas production. According to Bentek estimates, the week's average total natural gas supply posted a 0.2 percent increase from last week's level, led by a 2.0 percent increase in imports from Canada, which averaged 5.1 Bcf per day over the period. Imports from Canada stand 9.2 percent above year-ago volumes for the same week. There was also a 10.9 percent increase in supply of liquefied natural gas (LNG) during the week, with sendout averaging 370 MMcf per day; however, sendout volumes remain 67.8 percent below year-ago levels. Anchoring these supply gains was another week of essentially flat domestic dry gas production which averaged 63.6 Bcf per day, unchanged from the previous week and 3.6 percent above this time last year.
Working natural gas in storage increased to 2,744 Bcf as of Friday, May 18, according to EIA's WNGSR. This represents a net injection of 77 Bcf from the previous week. This week's injection was 20 Bcf lower than the 5-year (2007-2011) average injection for the same week. During the same week last year, the implied net injection was 101 Bcf. Working inventories are currently 750 Bcf (38 percent) greater than their year-ago levels and 753 Bcf (38 percent) greater than the 5-year average.
All three storage regions posted increases this week. Inventories in the East, West, and Producing Regions increased by 45 Bcf, 13 Bcf, and 19 Bcf, respectively. In the Producing Region, working natural gas inventories increased 19 Bcf in salt cavern facilities and remained at the previous week's level in nonsalt cavern facilities.
Temperatures in the lower 48 States during the week ending May 17 were 2.6 degrees warmer than the 30-year normal temperature and 4.9 degrees warmer than the same period last year. The average temperature in the lower 48 States was 64.3 degrees, 2.6 degrees higher than the 30-year normal of 61.7 degrees. While overall temperatures were a few degrees warmer than normal, temperatures varied somewhat across Census Divisions. The Mountain and Pacific Regions in the West were relatively warm, averaging 5.1 and 4.7 degrees, respectively, warmer than the 30-year normal. In the South, the West South Central Region was 1.7 degrees cooler than the 30-year normal, while the South Atlantic and East South Central Regions were 2.1 and 0.9 degrees, respectively, warmer than the 30-year normal.

A barn fire in Farmington, N.Y., killed more than 30 heifers over the weekend.
According to the Democrat and Chronicle, a passerby reported the blaze to emergency officials early Sunday morning. However, the barn was already caving in by the time fire crews arrived.
They were unable to save the 31 replacement heifers trapped in the blaze.
News10NBC reports that the fire was still smoldering on Monday morning.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation. Read more from News10NBC here.
Farm owner Alan Sadler told 13WHAM News reporters that while he is grateful his family is safe, he will continue to feel the loss of the cows well for a long time.
"These were yearlings," Sadler told 13WHAM News in a report available here. "So, next year's probably the main thing that's going to hurt us."
This marks the second deadly dairy fire in less than a week. Last Friday, a barn fire killed five calves at a dairy near Watkins, Minn. Click here to read more.

Longo feels, and looks, back to normal in field
ST. PETERSBURG -- Evan Longoria's bat work has been difficult to miss, as he has been the team's most consistent hitter since the start of the season.
Equally encouraging has been his return to form in the field after being slowed last season with his hamstring injury that eventually required surgery.
Those observing the Gold Glove third baseman since the beginning of Spring Training have witnessed a gradual progression from tentative movements to where he is now, back among the top fielding third basemen in baseball.
"In the spring I was just coming off the surgery, and I hadn't played at all, so a little bit of the hesitations and reservations were because of that," Longoria said. "I was just working myself back into baseball shape. Now I have a bunch of games under my belt, and I've felt good. I think just a lot of it is being back on the field."
Rays infield coach Tom Foley has seen the fluid nature of Longoria's movements and noted: "I just think he's playing the way he's capable of playing."
"In Spring Training he was taking it slowly," Foley added. "He was taking his days off, making sure he was taking care of his legs and stuff. Now he's out there, and he's doing his work. To me, he's Longoria.
"When he was hurt, you knew there were balls he wasn't going to get to. He was cautious with his legs. He had a little bit more trouble at the time last year going to his right than going to his left. So we moved him a step or two closer to the line, where going to the left was easier for him. For me it's just a gradual thing for him. He's probably not even thinking about it now."
Rays manager Joe Maddon was asked if anything he had seen about Longoria in the field told him that he had indeed returned to form.
He answered: "I think two things: the hard play to his left, when he really gets extended to his left, because he's really good with the ball to his right. When he gets extended to his left and gets up quickly to make a good throw. That tells me something. And the other one is just a slow roller with the bunt. That's just a hard play. And he makes that play great. But my point is, to be able to do that all the time, his legs have to feel good to do that. He's made a couple of those already."
Longoria acknowledges that he has been surprised about how good he has felt so far.
"You could say that I'm more fluid or whatever it is; I think it's just a product of being more comfortable," Longoria said. "Feeling like my legs are underneath me and I don't have anything to worry about as far as that goes."

Mansfield Inmate Dies After Fight With Cellmate
MANSFIELD, Ohio
Authorities say an inmate has died after a fight with his cellmate at a prison in northern Ohio.
The State Highway Patrol said Wednesday that staff at the Mansfield Correctional Institution found 62-year-old Robert Parr in his cell shortly after 10 p.m. Tuesday. Patrol spokeswoman Lt. Anne Ralston says Parr was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead about an hour later.
The cause of death has not been released.
Ralston says no details of the fight have been released and no charges have been filed. She says the cellmate was the only other person in the cell with Parr.
Ralston says Parr entered the prison in 2007 after his conviction on rape charges. He was serving a sentence of 10 years to life.

There is not much new to say as the range in the S&P (SPY) continues to get tighter in front of September highs of 1474. The 8-day moving average continues to support this market but there has been no upside follow-through. The S&P closed marginally positive on the day, posting gains of 0.02% after opening lower.
The S&P is hovering at highs and the financials continue to outperform. Today Goldman Sachs (GS) and JP Morgan (JPM) broke out to new yearly highs after strong earnings reports, but it was not enough to get this market in gear.

MAPLE GROVE, Minn., Nov. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Approximately 1.5 million women and girls in the United States have epilepsy, of which nearly 500,000 are women of childbearing age.1,2 Treating women with epilepsy, especially women of childbearing age, presents significant challenges to physicians. Epilog.us [http://www.epilog.us], Upsher-Smith Laboratories, Inc's [http://www.upsher-smith.com] epilepsy-focused educational website, discusses these challenges and provides professional insight by some of the epilepsy community's most respected physicians including Dr. Cynthia Harden, Chief of the Comprehensive Epilepsy Care Center, North Shore University Hospital and Long Island Jewish Medical Center, and Dr. Christopher Skidmore, Director of Neurology Residency/Assistant Professor of Neurology, at Jefferson Medical College of Thomas Jefferson University.

"There are several issues that need to be considered when providing treatment to women with epilepsy of childbearing age including: hormonal fluctuations and their effect on epilepsy; drug interactions between oral contraceptives and antiepileptic drugs; and pregnancy," said Dr. Cynthia Harden. "As clinicians, we need to understand these challenges and identify an appropriate treatment plan unique to each patient."
Dr. Christopher Skidmore added: "When discussing epilepsy and pregnancy with my female patients, the first and most important thing we discuss is that women with epilepsy can safely have babies and that approximately 95% of babies born to women with epilepsy are born healthy. There are necessary steps that should be considered to help ensure the patient's and baby's health including: staying on an antiepileptic therapy regimen that is safe for both the patient and her baby; the need for regular office visits throughout the pregnancy; and the benefits of a prenatal vitamin with extra folic acid."
Information available on Epilog.us relating to the treatment of Women with Epilepsy includes:

MIAMI — When you're down, 3-1, in the NBA Finals, sometimes the cliché is your best friend. Because, you know, your back is against the wall, you have to take it one game at a time, one quarter at a time, one play at a time, and your team still has plenty of fight left. Et cetera.
Once you get past triteness, though, it's not difficult to see that this has been a tight series, and despite the Oklahoma City Thunder's deficit, they've only been outscored by a total of five points in the four games. A Game 5 win that would send this series back to Oklahoma City is well within their grasp. Of course, there are a few things they need to do to get that win. Here's a checklist:
Kevin Durant, fourth-quarter Superman. After Game 1, it looked as though Durant might well have the best-player-in-the-league torch passed to him. Durant scored 36 points in that game, 17 in the fourth quarter, and the Thunder established the early series lead. Now, though, Durant may inherit a different title from James—the NBA star under the most fourth-quarter scrutiny. After scoring 33 points in the final period over the first two games in this series, Durant has scored just 10 points on 4-for-9 shooting in the last two.
Just as James has had to do, Durant is dealing with heavy defensive pressure in the fourth, and has to decide when to work around that defense to set up his teammates and when he should take over, defense be damned.
"They're loading up," Durant said, "they're fronting and they've got somebody sitting in my lap when I'm trying to catch the ball, and there's a lot of people around me. Sometimes, I've got to get a ball up, and hopefully, it opens up for me. I'm going to keep being aggressive. ... I've just got to know, pick and choose, where I'm going to shoot and where I'm going to pass, try to get to the rim, try to get to the free-throw line."
It is, as James well knows, a fine line, and if you don't win, you're likely to be criticized, either for being too aggressive or too passive. Down the stretch of Game 5, if it is a close one (as all of these games have been in the fourth quarter), Durant will have to excel.
Cut off LeBron James' passing lanes. The Thunder paid an awful lot of defensive attention to James in Game 4, and in general, throwing double-teams at him was a good approach. The problem was, OKC allowed James to pick it apart with his deft passing, and he recorded 12 assists on the night. If the Thunder are going to double James, they must do a better job of rotating to the spot where the double man is coming from, and of simply interfering with James' ability to get the ball to that spot.
The clearest indication that Oklahoma City struggled with that in Game 4 is that Miami made 10 3-pointers (and attempted 26), while also scoring 46 points in the paint. That means that not only were Thunder's help defenders slow to cut off passes and penetration in the middle, they weren't getting it done on the perimeter, either.
Move the ball and make shots. That sounds simple enough. But at various points of these games, the Heat have been able to cinch in on defense, cutting off the lane while still giving themselves enough time to close out on perimeter shots. Oklahoma City has not employed enough ball movement to take advantage of that and create wide-open 3-point looks, and the Thunder have not been able to knock down contested 3s. OKC made 35.8 percent of its 3s in the regular season (11th in the league) and had improved on that in the first three rounds of the playoffs, shooting 37.4 percent on 3s.
In the Finals, they're at 27.3 percent.
"Well, I look back at some of our 3s or all of our 3s, and we got some good looks, and that's all you can ask for," coach Scott Brooks said. "There's some of them that were contested, there's no question. They're a great defensive team, and they make you take some tough shots. But you have to be able to keep moving the basketball and find those good shots. We are a good 3-point shooting team, and we've improved on that the last three or four years. But you have to step up and make them."
Play like veterans. The Thunder have insisted throughout these Finals that their relative youth and lack of experience is not a factor. But they've been prone to letting frustration get the better of them and to making costly mental errors—the botched inbound play from Thabo Sefolosha to Russell Westbrook in Game 3, and Westbrook's ill-advised foul on Mario Chalmers with 13.8 seconds to play in Game 4 come immediately to mind.
"As a team, we just have to find a way," point guard Derek Fisher said. "You don't get here and then become not ready. You're here for a reason. You have to find a way once you're here. But that doesn't necessarily come down to age or experience, per se, it's just your attention to detail, your ability to figure out ways to win on this stage. It's not because you're 23 or 33, it just depends on where you've been, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. If we paid too much attention to that, we would not be here to begin with."

When Natalie Sander Kern was cast in Actors' Summit's "Handle With Care," which opened March 27, she said she had never studied Hebrew. This would prove a challenge since her character, a young Israeli woman named Ayelet, speaks Hebrew through half the show. It was a challenge, she said, she embraced wholeheartedly.
"I had a bunch of recordings, which helped," said Kern, who lives in Alliance. "Oudi [Singer, the language coach for the production] also met with me once a week and helped me with the nuances I couldn't get from the recording."
Her hard work paid off in this charming and funny play, which can be seen through April 13.
"She was very passionate with the role, and it made it easier for me to teach," said Singer. "It was fun to teach Natalie. She was a great student."
In "Handle With Care," by Jason Odell Williams and directed by Connie Thackaberry, Ayelet is reluctantly accompanying her grandmother Edna (played by Cuyahoga Falls resident Marci Paolucci) in an unconventional trip in America. Edna is searching for something but is reluctant to tell her granddaughter what that is. Unfortunately, Edna dies during the trip, and the task for transporting her body from a small Virginia town to Washington D.C. falls to the hapless and clueless Terrence (played by Arthur Chu). Terrence doesn't even get out of town before he manages to lose the body, and his efforts to explain what happened to the enraged Ayelet are hampered by the fact that Ayelet's English is extremely limited. Terrence calls his longtime friend Josh (played by Sagamore Hills resident Keith E. Stevens), who knows some rudimentary Hebrew. What happens results in a blossoming relationship between Josh and Ayelet.
Thackaberry said that she and the playwright Williams went to graduate school together, and that she saw an early version of the script.
"Last year, they did a reading in Ohio, and we went to see it," Thackaberry said. "That solidified it that we wanted to do it in our season."
Paolucci called "Handle With Care" a "really funny and poignant play."
"I think the fact that it goes back and forth in time, rather than linear, makes it more interesting," she said.
An amusing dose of irony in this production is that Chu, whose character is far from bright, recently become the third highest money winner in the history of the game show Jeopardy, winning just under $300,000 in 11 shows, according to information provided by the theater.
"It was a really crazy media experience, with the 'Jeopardy' stuff," he said. "I was very glad to have this opportunity [to be in "Handle with Care."] It kept me from going crazy. It's a really fun show. It's a great theater, very close-knit. I hope to do more shows here."
Ticket and show information
Performances of "Handle With Care" are Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m., and are at Greystone Hall, in downtown Akron. The show is appropriate for all ages.
Tickets are $33 for adults, $28 for seniors over 65, and $10 for all full time students under 30. Tickets can be purchased through the box office at 330-374-7568 and online at www.actorssummit.org.
The theater is on the sixth floor of historic Greystone Hall in downtown Akron. The facility features barrier free access, free parking, and full bar service.

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. - Deputies in St. Johns County have arrested a woman in the stabbing death of her boyfriend Sunday evening at a transient camp in Marsh Landing near the Duval-St. Johns County line.
Brenda Santiago Muniz, 28, is charged with murder in the killing of 35-year-old Luther Hardmon. The two were apparently living in the homeless camp in the woods.
Investigators said the killing happened during an altercation in a part of the woods behind the Target shopping center off State Road A1A about 5 p.m. Deputies said an exact motive for the stabbing has not been established.
"There were witnesses in the area that would provide information to establish that Ms. Muniz did, in fact, stab the victim and it was over some sort of altercation," said Cpl. Catherine Payne, of the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office.
Detectives surveyed the scene, took pictures for hours and questioned witnesses, saying there was no threat to the people who live around there. They returned to the scene Monday.
Muniz was being held in the St. Johns County jail with bail set at $750,000.
The crime happened behind an affluent area where a lot of people say they pay a lot of money to rent space there and don't want to deal with the homeless.
Most business owners in the area didn't want to talk about the homeless problems, except to say that they exist. One mother and daughter did share their concerns.
"I've never heard of anything bad such as a murder in this area," Rosemarie Parry said.
Parry said the murder is tragic and that something needs to be done so it doesn't happen there again.
"I think there should be more cops around and we should have more homeless shelters so maybe we can help them out so things like this don't happen to them," she said.
"The best bet is to have shelters open, and we just have to make sure the homeless know where to go," said Nancy Hockenbery, whose husband owns a nearby business.

Hey this is Reuben with Competition Accessories and we just wanted to make a quick video on how you change the face shield out on the Arai helmet. A lot of people get intimidated by Arai helmet face shields because of the side pod they have where you cant see whats going behind it. What we have done on this helmet here is we installed a clear pod so we could give you a better look at the inner workings of the base plate mechanism and show you how it works. Basically to remove the face shield what I want you to see is this little gray lever here, there are one of those on each side of the helmet. When you raise your shield to the top position those will pop out. Now if your helmet is a little older or a little worn out they might not pop all the way out like a brand new helmet. With the face shield all the way up you just need to lift those levers all the way up. Once you have lifted those until they click, to take the shield off is very simple, you are just going to grab it from the top , rotate it back and pull it off. It comes right off really quickly. You will see guys out at the track if you watch racing at all like the isle of man for instance, they will pull into the pits and they swap face shields on or off in just a matter of seconds. It is one of those things you have to get the hang of. To reinstall the shield is a little trickier, there is a horse shoe shape cut out on the end of the shield here, that's going to line up with the top curve on the helmet or the pod and with the clear ones you can see the round tab that its going to slide over. Your going to slide that in on both sides and its not going to really click or anything, you just have to get it down and on to there like that. Once its in I find it easier to have the helmet facing away from you and then you are just going to close the shield. When you close the shield what happens is this opening this cut out right here slides over that little notch right there, so that is what limits the shield as It opens. That's how to change the Arai face shield out, hopefully that helps you out. You can go to our youtube channel if you click on this link in the upper right hand corner and subscribe to us. We have a lot detailed videos on helmets and other products. You can also check us out on facebook and check us out online, see you next time.
Hey guys this is Reuben with Competition Accessories were here with the all new Arai XD4 which is a duel sport helmet perfect for adventure touring duel, sport riding ,any where from off road adventures to long distance trips around the world its the updated version of the Arai XD3 which i have on either side of this helmet. And at first glance your going to think they look extremely similar and that's because they are Arai XD3 have been taken around the world countless times by many riders its a very very well received helmet and there's not actually too much to improve on but with Arai they have taken the XD3 and they have made it just that much better with the XD4 and the biggest thing that we've noticed with the XD4 is the improved ventilation obviously its still a little bit cold right now i have put about 30 miles on this particular helmet i can tell you right off the bat i was really impressed with it and i wanted to show you some of the features and what makes it an upgrade from an XD3 . First things first its an all new shell shape , again kind of hard to tell from looking at them side by side but it is a slightly more aerodynamic design its still going to be that complex laminate construction that Arai is famous for its fiber glass shell its incredibly stiff and strong its going to disperse impact over a large area its going to keep you very well protected it is SNELL 2010 approved as well as DOT a big thing that you will notice though but if you look at them side by side is the visor peak is just slightly taller so its actually going to flow through the air better then the previous XD3 did and i can attest to that i had this up to 80 miles an hour on the freeway yesterday and it behaved very very well , and one thing i did want to point out is the XD4 as well as the XD3 are designed to be worn in an upright riding position designed for duel sport and adventure style bikes you'll have a more upright seating position.So when your sitting straight up facing into the wind this helmet is very well mannered and its surprisingly not very loud either . I didn't have ear plugs in when i road yesterday and it flew through the air very cleanly felt comfortable obviously with a larger peak like this and a larger chin bar then you would find on a typical full face street helmet , when your doing head checks you do notice a little bit more wind drag but its nothing that isn't manageable. The other thing that you can do with the XD4 as well as the XD3 is remove the visor completely so if your going to log several hundred miles of just pure interstate riding for a day its just a few screws on either side of the visor and remove the peak you could also remove the shield if you'd like and wear goggles if your going to do a lot of off road riding . Ive found personally that you can run goggles underneath the face shield so you can run goggles with just the shield up in the up position and you could also remove the shield completely and wear goggles. Now talking about the shield probably the first thing that i tell people when you first try a duel sport helmet like this especially with the XD4 is the amount of vision you get out of the helmet coming from a full faced street helmet you just have so much larger so much more room in the eye port so vision is incredible out of this helmet absolutely nothing in your peripheral from the helmet shell itself it comes all the way to the back and then its a very tall eye port as well so you can see down to your gages very easily so you don't have to move your head as much in this helmet because its very easy to look around out of the eye port and the large eye port again accommodates being able to wear large goggles underneath if your going to do more off road riding where dust or debris from other riders may be a concern . So first thing about the face shield mechanism is it is actually a dual-cam shield pivot, instead of pivoting up on one access what it does is it raises up and actually kind of slides back to keep the shield nice and low which really improves aerodynamics if you want to ride with the shield raised . To remove the visor and the shield there's these two clear plastic screws that are on either side basically your just going to quickly unscrew those and that will release the visor and under here you can see the mechanism for removing the shield and it basically pops right off so its real easy to swap out. Obviously not quite the same as a street helmet but still very simple for shield changes. There are tinted shields available for the XD4 there's also a pin lock ready shield available . If you want to you have the anti fog capability of the pin lock system there is a pin lock ready shield as well as pin lock specific inserts for the XD4. Another thing while were still on the visor that they approved , you'll see that they now have brow vents built in , these are brought over from the street line the XD3 did not have these these vents are built right into the shield itself but it doesn't just go straight into your face it has small ducts that are built in its going to be kind of hard to see in the video here , basically the air that is coming in the shield is going to directed down through these ducts and around to your temple so its just one more way to get some cool air to your head and when were talking about ventilation that's probably the biggest area that has been improved with the XD4 when your doing adventure style of riding some times you might slow down a lot if your tackling a high mountain pass or something where your slowing down where the terrain gets a little more technical or more challenging you might not be running at such high speeds so having very efficient ventilation and thats very important on a helmet like this first thing you'll notice is the chin bar vent its a similar style to the XD3 but enlarged so you get more air flow , it is completely close able you can also make adjustments on the inside this also might be difficult to show have the air directed straight in towards your mouth or you can direct it up towards the face shield to help reduce fogging and then the side intake vents have the metal screen on them can be opened and closed from in here you can really customize how much air is coming in and coming through the chin bar . There's an adjustable chin curtain along the base of the chin bar here and its small out of the way when you get the helmet on and if you need a little bit more protection from the elements from the rain or cold you can actually extend that to actually protect the inside of the helmet a little bit further. So you've got plenty of ventilation on the chin bar , new vents on the shield there are intake vents at the top of the helmet function as scoops these work really well in conjunction with the visor the peak is going to direct air down into these air scoops if you open them your going to feel a lot of air coming down on top of your head and then another thing you will really notice is the exhaust vents , probably most improved from the XD3 to the XD4 is the style and the way they engineered the exhaust vents to work. The rear cowls have additional outlet holes that are going to work to pull warm air out of the helmet its one of the most effective ways to cool a helmet . As you ride a vacuum is formed behind your head and that vacuum is going to drag the warm air out of the helmet these are close able also you can see there are small sliders here you can adjust how much you want those to function , and then you have some static exhaust vents at the base of the helmet these little cowls work the same way these are always open so warm air again is going to be drawn out here. And if you can tell on the camera it might be hard to see but they have redesigned the shape of them they have a little bit more of a lip to it so its going to create just a little bit more vacuum draw just that little bit more of hot air out of the helmet keeping you more comfortable your definitely going to see some major improvement to the ventilation of the XD4 . Now moving on to the interior of this helmet, Arai uses what they call their dry cool lining . Dry cool is a moisture wicking fabric its going to keep you comfortable again in warmer conditions if your sweating a lot its going to draw moisture away from your skin keeping you comfortable . Again were seeing Arais quick release cheek pads and these are emergency release cheek pads if you were to have an accident you'll see it has orange tabs that have instructions for emergency personnel to remove the cheek pads. Basically there's a small tab for them to look for and they basically can pull those out very easily . Once they've pulled the cheek pads completely out of the helmet you'll see how much larger the opening is so they can pull the cheek pads out then the opening on the base of the helmet is that much larger at least enough to slide that off your head with minimal impact to your neck , and another thing i wanted to show you about the cheek pads is if you remove the dry quick fabric lining , there was the tab we were looking for, you'll see that these pads have their whats called facial contour support . Basically what it is a spring loaded system on the cheek pad when you pull the helmet on and off its going to squish that cheek pad out of the way but once the helmet is on and your face is in side the helmet this is going to spring back against your face creating a little bit better of a seal for the base of the helmet which gives you a quieter ride and its also more comfortable , there's also a 5 millimeter pad on the top of the cheek pad if you feel its just a little tight in the cheek area you can simply peel that away replace the cover and instantly have a little bit more room in the cheek pad area without having to go purchase an additional set of cheek pads now if you need more room then that if you actually have to go the other direction and take up a little more room in the helmet you can obviously purchase different size cheek pads from Arai and we carry those as well , you can remove the rest of the interior which is fantastic for a duel sport type of helmet where you might be sweating in it more then your typical street helmet . There's basically just two snaps at the back of the crown liner and two snaps at the front and that's going to come right out . They use a lot of open material and mesh material in this as well as dry cool fabric just to work very well with the ventilation that's built in with the helmet itself . There's also 5 millimeter tear away pads in the liner, they are temple pads right behind this mesh here you'll see these small pads along the sides of the temples you can peal these off its attached with some thin glue and if you need a little bit more room in the temple area you can modify that part of the helmet as well again just giving you that extra bit of custom fit that Arai is known for , and then if you look at the interior basically you can see that there is several holes in the EPS liner there are nice large openings where the cheek pads go if you wanted to install a speaker system or communication system if you can do that you also have a nice lining around the chin bar so your fully protected in this helmet. One thing Arai does that is fantastic in my opinion is they use a one piece EPS liner so this foam liner what is its job to do once the shell has spread the impact the interior foam is going to absorb that impact so less energy is transformed to your head and what Arai does is they actually use five different densities of foam but its only one piece . Some manufactures circumvent that by using two different pieces of foam that are different densities what Arai does is a little bit more advanced they take up to 5 different densities and mold them into one EPS liner that way there's not multiple pieced to move around its going to be a uniform EPS liner its going to do a fantastic job of absorbing impact and keeping you safe. So that's our first look at the Arai XD4 I've put about 30 miles on this particular helmet so far and I've got to say I've very impressed with it , if you have a passion for duel sport or adventure style riding where your going off road and on road this is probably the best compromise in on and off road helmets that you can get its going to work fantastic on the street works really good off road as well , so check these out on our website at competition accessories .com

Sore Beltran returns to lineup as designated hitter
ST. PETERSBURG -- Carlos Beltran said that his sore left shoulder and right wrist are improving after Friday's tumble over a short wall in right field at Tropicana Field, and he returned to the lineup as the designated hitter on Saturday.
"A lot better," Beltran said. "Not 100 percent, but yesterday I went to the cage, hit a little bit during the game. I felt fine. Today I feel a lot better compared to how I felt yesterday."
Beltran flipped over the wall chasing Desmond Jennings' foul ball in the third inning of Thursday's 10-2 victory. He did not undergo any concussion tests, and he hopes to return to the outfield on Sunday, when the Yankees wrap up their four-game series with the Rays.
"We're extremely lucky," manager Joe Girardi said. "I wasn't sure if we'd have him this weekend with how hard he hit [the ground], but he bounced back quick."

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. — The Food and Drug Administration has approved a drug made by Genentech for treating a rare and severe form of arthritis that affects children, Genentech said.
The biotech company, the U.S. division of Swiss drug maker Roche, announced the FDA approval of Actemra (tocilizumab) for active systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis. SJIA has the worst long-term prognosis of all varieties of childhood arthritis.
"Today's FDA approval marks an important advance in the treatment of SJIA, a debilitating condition affecting children," Genentech head of global product development and chief medical officer Hal Barron said. "As the first and only approved treatment for SJIA, Actemra offers a new option for this extremely difficult-to-treat disease. This approval also demonstrates our commitment to science and patients with high unmet medical need, including orphan diseases."

Healthy Mouth, Healthy Kids
when do toddlers start to get molers,and what are the symptons?
The timing and sequence of the eruption of primary (baby) teeth are variable, but generally fall into predictable patterns. The incisors (front teeth) are the first to erupt, usually around 6 months of age. First molars begin erupting at about age 1 year. The second molars are the last to erupt at about the age of two years.
Teething is a natural process and usually occurs with few, if any, problems. Some infants, however, show signs of more general distress, like a small rise in temperature, dehydration, increased salivation and skin eruptions. The use of cold teething rings to apply cold and pressure to the areas of erupting teeth usually reduces the symptoms. Increased fluid consumption and nonaspirin analgesics, like ibuprofen or acetaminophen, may also be helpful.
