About this Costume
- Construction Details:
This costume was made for my husband and not me for a Halloween party but I was asked to play the role of Seby for Comiket 79 by my cosplay friends. I handmade the jacket from twill cotton, its partially linned and I also handmade a set of 4 various colored kittens from felt to be stuck all over the costume. I am not particularily passionate about Black Butler so I wanted to give everyone a laugh with the cat stuffed toys. All the rest of the costume just happened to be in my husband`s closet (normal wear clothing) The wig I cut and styled myself, in some of the pictures its very long and shaggy (before I cut it) later for a private shoot I cut it shorter and re layered it. Its such a simple costume but it was easy to wear and in the dead of winter wearing black on a sunny day is a good thing =P I was probably the only one not freezing to death for this event.

Essential: Labor leader's odds Shorten as Abbott falls further behind
Women have warmed to Labor's Bill Shorten, a new Essential poll shows, as the Coalition continues its post-budget slump. And Australians don't like drones.
Jun 11, 2014
Women have warmed to Labor's Bill Shorten, a new Essential poll shows, as the Coalition continues its post-budget slump. And Australians don't like drones.
Opposition Leader Bill Shorten has extended his lead as preferred prime minister over Tony Abbott as the government continues its post-budget polling slump, today's Essential Report shows.
Having taken a one-point lead in May, Shorten now leads Abbott as preferred prime minister, 40%-36%, and has a bigger lead — 8 points — among women than among men (2 points). The Prime Minister's disapproval rating has increased from 55% to 58%, while his approval rating has remained on 35%. Shorten's disapproval rating has also increased, from 37% to 40%, but so has his approval rating, from 35% to 38%.
The Coalition's primary vote has also fallen a point to 37%, its lowest since January 2010, while Labor's primary vote has reached 40%. The Greens are down a point to 9% and the Palmer United Party is steady on 6%, for a two-party preferred outcome of 54%-46% to Labor, its best since August 2010.
Essential also asked about perceptions of fairness and equality in Australia, revealing significant partisan differences among voters. Among Greens voters, 70% believe Australia is less fair and equal than 20 years ago; among "other" voters (including Palmer United Party), 59% believe we're less fair and equal. Fifty-one per cent of Labor voters believe that, and 27% of Coalition voters.
Voters split differently on the importance of equality. Forty-one per cent of "other" voters and 42% of Coalition voters say equality is "very important" while 62% of Labor and 63% of Greens voters say it is very important. But fairness is more widely supported: 77% of Greens and "other" voters and 72% of Labor voters believe it is very important, and 44% of Coalition voters. The switch of "other" voters in that mix is interesting, suggesting they support the idea of equal opportunity suggested in "fairness" while being less interested in equal outcomes, which are more attractive to progressives.
The picture gets more complicated on measures that are viewed as important to equality. Greens voters nominate "access to affordable healthcare" (54%) and "a minimum wage that supports the basics of life" (53%). Coalition voters also nominate healthcare (53%) and minimum wage (49%) as most important — the latter higher than Labor voters (44%).
Labor voters instead see healthcare (69%) as far more important. Coalition voters also rate "well-resourced public schools" more highly than Labor voters, but don't regard a strong welfare system as important compared to non-Coalition voters, instead seeing policies that encourage economic growth as being more important (38% compared to 20% of all voters).
Essential asked about attitudes toward United States drone strikes in the wake of revelations about the killing by the US of two Australian citizens in Yemen. Forty-five per cent of voters disapprove of drone strikes in general, compared to 35% who approve, although Coalition voters split the other way, 48%-33%. The overall result masks an enormous gender gap: men approve 47%-39% while women disapprove 51%-23%
And 58% of voters are concerned about the possibility of Australians being killed by drone strikes, with voters much more uniform in their concern, although women (63%) were more concerned than men (55%).

Homecoming on Friday, Oct. 14 was a wild day for students.
The Pep Assembly began at approximately 2 p.m., then came the parade, the announcement that the Class of 2012 had won the Spirit Jug and a Varsity football team win in triple overtime.
The Pep Assembly was highlighted by the cheerleading team, directed by Lisa Kurtz, the teacher dance, and the typical contests, such as the relay and the pie eating contest. Christian Alber '12 won the pie eating contest and the Class of 2012 won the relay race.
Christine Naber '12 was crowned Homecoming Queen at halftime of South's victory over the L'anse Creuse High School Lancers. The seniors also took home the Spirit Jug, winning six of eight categories.
The Blue Devils won in triple overtime with the help of a blocked field goal to keep the score level at 21-21 with under a minute remaining in the fourth quarter. South ended up winning 41-34.

WASHINGTON (CBSDC) – There are a lot of different ways to parse why a highly rated team, such as the Russian hockey team heading into the Sochi Games, may fall far below expectations.
Some choose to embrace common narratives, like pinning Russia's upsetting defeat to Finland on Alexander Ovechkin and his alleged lack of leadership.
Others choose to shy away from storylines and form opinions based on the numbers presented to them, and blame the coaching for not providing the proper structure or game planning a team full of superstars require to realize the path to success.
No matter on which side you fall, there was a tremendous amount of pressure on Ovechkin — as the face of the Olympic Games for Russia — to lead his country to gold, and whether right or wrong, he's taken the brunt of the blame for failing to do so, or even advance to the medal round for that matter.
How he responds upon his NHL return is up to him.
Sadly, the hits keep coming for Ovi, and he hasn't yet returned stateside. Shortly after Russia was eliminated, Ovechkin learned his father had undergone heart surgery. Officials chose to hold off on informing him until after the game.
Rightly, Caps GM George McPhee told Ovechkin to "stay as long as necessary" in a show of compassion for his team captain.
However, it's hard to fathom just how much responsibility for Russia being upset has been directed at Ovechkin, and how little has been aimed at the host country's coaching staff, particularly the head coach who hurled Ovi under the bus.
So exactly how much blame should an individual receive for a team loss?
"I'm gonna be honest with you, apart from the head coach who threw him under the bus, absolutely none," Russian-American hockey writer Dmitry Chesnokov told 106.7 The Fan's Grant Paulsen and Danny Rouhier on Thursday.
"Yes, goals were expected from him, but there were players like Evgeni Malkin, who was the center for Ovechkin," Chesnokov said. "Those two couldn't connect all game long and the coaching staff didn't do anything to correct that situation."
"I think just tactically, players were lost. It seemed like they had no scheme, no game plan. You can have ten, twenty Alex Ovechkins on the team, but you still need the coach, you still need somebody to tell those players how to play, and that just wasn't done. A lot of times it seemed like the players were just floating and trying to write their own game plan, and that's not how it's done, especially not at this level."
Ovechkin — who's been known to wear Russian tracksuits to the rink in Washington, D.C. — instantly felt the weight and devastation of having let his country down, which was none more evident than in his post-game interview.
"It's tough," Ovechkin told CBC's Elliotte Friedman. "It's the second Olympic Games that we lost in that kind of game, and it's bad."
"You see it in his eyes, when he didn't know what to say," Chesnokov said. "He actually didn't know what to say. He was empty. He was done.
"He gave it his all, and again, it wasn't just something, 'Oh bad loss, so I don't have anything to say.' It was coming from a person, you could see in his eyes, just like you and me — another human being who's very saddened by what happened."
There's no telling how he'll respond.
He was sluggish upon his return from the Vancouver Games in 2010, scoring only 4 goals in 15 games, which perhaps, may not be a sign of an Olympic hangover for anyone not named Alex Ovechkin.
Time will tell.
Until then, Chesnokov predicts Team USA to take gold in men's hockey. The U.S. plays Canada on Friday for a chance to play in the gold medal game.

Both estrogen and testosterone are present in males and females. Both hormones contribute to the well being of skeletal muscle and bone in men and women, and there is evidence that the loss of sex hormones is associated with the age-related decline in bone and skeletal muscle mass. Hormonal supplementation of older adults to restore estrogen and testosterone levels to those of young men and women is not without penalty.
- estrogen
- testosterone
in the past several decades, the relevance and importance of female and male sex hormones for the health and well being of skeletal muscle and bone have become recognized. Although there are multiple sex hormones, those that have been studied the most are estrogen and testosterone. Both strogen and testosterone are present in men and women, and both hormones exert direct and indirect effects on skeletal muscle and bone in men and women. As would be expected, testosterone values are high in men and low in women, and estrogen values are high in women and low in men.
Aging results in a highly significant loss of estrogen in women and testosterone in men. Aging also reduces the level of testosterone in women and estrogen in men. The pattern of decline differs by sex, with women showing a precipitous loss of estrogen during menopause and men losing testosterone continuously throughout life, starting in the third decade. Indeed, many men are hypogonadal by the eighth decade with free testosterone levels below 320 pg/dl, the accepted minimum (11). Women become postmenopausal typically by the sixth decade, thus spending approximately one-third of their lifetime in an estrogen-deficient state (8).
In young men and women, there are a number of conditions that cause sex hormone levels to drop to nearly undetectable levels, such as trauma, spinal injury, brain injury, and bed rest (e.g., Ref. 23). There is emerging evidence that a sedentary lifestyle and associated obesity are also associated with low sex hormone levels in men, which may indicate that hypogonadism is on the rise in our society. The long-term consequences of low hormone levels at a young age have yet to be clearly defined.
Because sex hormones are markedly reduced with age, and we are living longer, there has been recent interest in restoring hormone levels to "normal" levels in aging men and women. As expected, bringing testosterone levels above 320 pg/dl in hypogondal old men has an anabolic effect on skeletal muscle. Significant gains in muscle mass and strength have been realized; however, testosterone hormone replacement in older men is not without penalty. Likewise, providing estrogen to older women has an anabolic effect on bone, and possibly muscle, but there may be negative consequences of giving estrogen to women in their 60s and 70s. A summary of the effects of estrogen and testosterone is shown in Table 1.
Direct Estrogen Effects on Skeletal Muscle in Women
There appear to be direct effects of estrogen on skeletal muscle. Skeletal muscle has estrogen receptors (ERs) on the cell membrane, in the cytoplasm, and on the nuclear membrane. It is believed that estrogen exerts direct effects on skeletal muscle through ERα, but there is a possibility that estrogen influences the maintenance and well being of skeletal muscle using other pathways such as the IGF-1 receptor-mediated pathway. Recently, a second ER type was discovered in skeletal muscle (ERβ), but its function is largely unknown, particularly in humans.
In young women and young rats, estrogen has an effect on muscle metabolism. Indeed, women have more endurance than men in long-distance running events, using less glycogen and more fat as fuel than men. Male rats given estrogen can run longer distances on a treadmill. Estrogen has also been shown to protect younger women from muscle injury apparently by stabilizing the muscle membrane (28). Whether the glycogen-sparing effects of estrogen (muscle endurance) and the protection of muscle from injury are lost with menopause is largely unexplored. It does appear anecdotally that postmenopausal women are more susceptible to muscle injury.
Is there an accelerated loss of skeletal muscle with menopause? Cross-sectional studies have suggested that women may have a faster rate of loss in muscle mass and strength during the perimenopausal years (Fig. 1). Additionally, skeletal muscle has a higher proportion of ERα on type II or fast twitch muscle fibers, which may be one reason for the greater loss in type II muscle fiber size with age. Type I or slow fibers maintain their size for most of a woman's lifetime, whereas type II fibers begin to show atrophy in the fifth decade. It is tempting to speculate that the loss of estrogen is associated with the decline in muscle mass with aging, but the literature is difficult to interpret. There are a number of studies that support an association of muscle mass and estrogen and others that find no association between estrogen and muscle mass and strength. An example of a study in which there was no association of estrogen and muscle mass was reported by Hansen et al. (13). Women in this study were given 20-mg doses of estrogen for 64 wk, and the increase in muscle mass was not significant (P = 0.09). It should be noted, however, that fat mass decreased and bone mass increased significantly in subjects that received estrogen. Conversely, Sørenson et al. (26) performed a 12-wk double-blind crossover study where estrogen or placebo was administered, there was a 16-wk washout period, and women were then given whichever drug (estrogen or placebo) they had not received during the first 12 wk. There was a significant increase in lean mass during the estrogen phase. Overall, the strength of evidence in support of an anabolic effect of estrogen on skeletal muscle via meta-analysis outweighs the evidence of no effect (2, 20).
One question that has surfaced recently is whether the accelerated loss in muscle mass with menopause is due to a decline in testosterone (total and free) rather than a decline in estrogen. Testosterone does decrease with age, but serum values of testosterone show the greatest decline before menopause and little additional change during menopause (8). Thus, there does not appear to be a relationship between muscle mass loss and lower levels of testosterone with menopause.
Most of the clinical trials that support an anabolic estrogen effect on skeletal muscle in women have tended to have younger subjects. There may be less of an effect of estrogen with advancing age, but the strength of evidence to support this contention is minimal. Two studies (5, 15) bring into question the effect of estrogen in older women. In one study, the incidence of sarcopenia (age-related muscle mass loss) was investigated in older women who had been on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for at least 2 yr. Women on HRT had a 23% incidence of sarcopenia, whereas those not on HRT had a 22% incidence. As is the case with most studies of older women, the dose of estrogen differed among subjects, and there were a number of variables not accounted for, such as activity levels, diet, and medications. Sarcopenia takes years to develop, and it is possible that the potential benefit of HRT had not begun to show in just 2 yr of intervention. In another exercise study, older women were aerobically trained for 9 mo. Half of the subjects began HRT at the beginning of training. At the end of 9 mo, strength gains for women on HRT were the same as the gains made by women who were not on HRT (16% vs. 17%). Women in this study performed weight-bearing exercise, however, not resistance exercise, and it could be argued that the exercise stimulus was not sufficiently intense to augment the estrogen effect. In summary, possible estrogen effects on skeletal muscle in older women are not well understood.
To amplify the potential anabolic effect of estrogen on skeletal muscle, we chose a rat model in which we could combine loss of ovarian hormones with inactivity. The reasoning behind this approach is that if ovarian hormones, notably estrogen, influence muscle mass and function, then the combination of ovariectomy (Ovx) and inactivity should result in greater muscle atrophy than either condition alone. We also hypothesized that recovery from a bout of inactivity would be delayed in those rats without ovarian hormones. To induce inactivity, we used a technique called hindlimb unweighting, which simulates bed rest (Fig. 2). The hindlimbs are free to move, as in bed rest, but not bear weight. Rats were kept in this simulated bed rest condition for 28 days. Some rats were studied as controls and some were studied following the unweighting, and the remaining rats were studied following 2 wk of recovery from 4 wk of unweighting. Results for a representative hindlimb muscle, the gastrocnemius, are shown in Fig. 2. Briefly, rats with intact ovaries and those that were Ovx experienced the same degree of muscle atrophy with unweighting. In Ovx rats, however, atrophy persisted during recovery, with no evidence of an increase in muscle mass (6). To verify this finding, we unweighted another group of Ovx rats for 4 wk and allowed half of the rats to recover for 2 wk. In both Ovx groups, we restored estrogen values to within normal limits using estrogen implants. Gastrocnemius regrowth in the Ovx-estrogen-supplemented rats showed the same magnitude of muscle mass regrowth as intact rats, suggesting that estrogen was necessary to stimulate muscle regrowth following atrophy (Fig. 2B). To further pursue this possibility, we examined the Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin pathway, which is critical for muscle protein synthesis. In the Ovx-recovery rats, there was a failure to turn on the Akt pathway (Fig. 2C, no phosphorylation of Ser473), suggesting that estrogen is necessary to regrow muscle that has undergone atrophy. These results suggest that estrogen stimulates muscle regrowth, possibly through the ER or possibly through estrogen stimulation of the IGF-1 receptor (25). If these findings of failure to reverse muscle atrophy are representative of what happens in women who undergo periods of bed rest due to illness, there is cause for concern. Women lose ∼50% of available muscle mass with normal aging, which is barely enough muscle mass and strength to function throughout the normal lifespan. Life events that potentially increase age-related muscle loss put women at even greater risk for loss of independence. Whether rehabilitation exercise can stimulate complete regrowth of atrophic muscle in the absence of estrogen is unknown.
Recently, a more basic approach to studying estrogen-deprived muscle was taken using Ovx mice. Using electron paramagnetic spin microscopy, a new technique, Moran and colleagues (18) determined that the muscle mass and quantity of contractile protein were unchanged in Ovx animals but muscles from Ovx mice generated less contractile tension because the interaction between actin and myosin, the essential contractile elements, was altered.
In summary, there is considerable confusion in the literature related to direct estrogen effects on muscle mass and strength, but it can be reasonably concluded that estrogen does influence muscle mass in younger women and loss of estrogen negatively impacts contractile function. A summary of the direct effects of estrogen on skeletal muscle in women is shown in Table 2.
Indirect Effects of Estrogen on Skeletal Muscle in Women
It is possible that the indirect effects of estrogen have as much or more influence on skeletal muscle mass and function than the direct effects of estrogen. Estrogen is known to have a powerful behavioral effect on spontaneous activity, with low estrogen levels blunting the desire to be physically active. This behavioral effect is apparent from the study of Eckel et al. (10), who recorded daily spontaneous running distance in rats during each phase of the estrous cycle. There was a tripling of running distance during the estrous phase compared with the diestrous phase. Our laboratory has also recorded daily running distances in rats that were followed longitudinally when ovaries were intact, following Ovx, and following estrogen replacement therapy to restore estrogen levels to normal (Fig. 3). As shown in Fig. 3A, Ovx caused running distances to plummet within the first week, and running distance continued to decline during the entire 20 wk that rats were in an estrogen-deficient state. Estrogen replacement restored running distances to values that were normal for rats of 17 mo of age. These findings strongly suggest that women with low estrogen levels are more susceptible to inactivity-related declines in muscle mass and strength.
In addition to diminishing spontaneous physical activity, Ovx resulted in a significant weight gain (Fig. 3B) that was only partially due to a transient hyperphagia (Fig. 3C). Body weight went up almost 20% in Ovx rats, and this excess body mass was lost with estrogen replacement. One of the most prevalent complaints of women following menopause or hysterectomy is weight gain, particularly in the abdomen, even though dietary intake has not changed. These findings with rats suggest that women may not be gaining weight following menopause or with an estrogen-deficient state because of excess food intake. Estrogen regulates the amount and distribution of adipose tissue, and an increase in fat mass with low hormone values has been reported in a number of studies. Indeed, there is now strong evidence that low estrogen levels decrease energy expenditure, which would result in an increase in fat mass with no additional food intake. Day et al. (9) put 14 young females on a gonadatrophic-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist for 6 days to diminish endogenous estrogen release and found resting energy expenditure to decrease 5% in that short time.
In summary, findings for rats and humans suggest that low estrogen values are associated with decreased spontaneous physical activity, an increase in fat mass (particularly in the abdomen), and a reduction in resting energy expenditure. Inactivity likely exacerbates gains in fat mass, which, in turn, contributes to more inactivity. All of these factors predispose women in a low estrogen state to muscle atrophy, losses in muscle strength, and functional decline. A summary of the indirect effects of estrogen on skeletal muscle in women is shown in Table 3.
Estrogen Effects on Bone in Women
The positive association of estrogen and bone mass has been evident for decades. The total amount of bone mass in women is directly related to estrogen levels throughout their lifetime. There is a small amount of age-related bone loss between the ages of 25 and 50 yr, but during menopause, bone loss accelerates, with an ∼10% reduction in total bone mass in 5 yr. If estrogen is given during menopause, bone loss does not occur (Fig. 4), which is compelling justification for providing estrogen during menopause for women who are at high risk for osteopenia and osteoporosis in later years. Other factors that impact the decline in bone with age are dietary intake of calcium, exercise (those who are inactive are more likely to lose bone), medical conditions, and medications such as prednisone.
To provide a brief overview of bone, there are two primary cell types: the osteoblast, which produces bone, and the osteoclast, which breaks bone down. In a normal healthy organism, there is a balance (and communication) between the osteoblast and osteoclast such that the amount of bone being broken down is balanced with the amount of bone being secreted. Both the osteoclast and osteoblast respond to estrogen, with the osteoclast turning off bone breakdown and the osteoblast increasing bone formation.
Bone also atrophies in response to disuse. Women who engage in bone-loading exercise have more bone mineral content than women who are sedentary. Exercise results in stronger muscles, which, in turn, impose higher forces on bone that seems to stimulate bone growth. There is some evidence that estrogen and exercise have additive effects on bone in older women, which is important given the recent report that half of all women over the age of 50 yr are osteopenic. One investigator divided a sample of older frail women into two groups: one group that performed resistance and endurance exercise and one group that did home-based range of motion activities for 9 mo (controls). At the beginning of the study, all of the women began HRT. Those in the control flexibility exercise group showed a 1.5% increase in bone mineral density at the lumbar spine. Women on HRT who exercised had a 3.5% increase in bone mineral density at the lumbar spine. This study (29) demonstrates that older postmenopausal women are able to gain bone mass in response to HRT and also in response to exercise.
It should be mentioned that the Women's Health Initiative study (http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/whi/) was halted prematurely due to a higher incidence of stroke in women on HRT (estrogen and progesterone). On average, 44 of 10,000 women receiving HRT experienced stroke compared with 32 of 10,000 women not on HRT. Retrospective analyses have provided insights that were not evident at the time the decision to halt the trial was made. Women on HRT were in their 60s and 70s, rather than menopausal, and the incidence of preexisting heart disease had not been determined in subjects. Thus, the potential detrimental effects of HRT for perimenopausal and postmenopausal women are still unclear. Women in the Women's Health Initiative receiving HRT experienced 733 fractures compared with 896 fractures among women taking a placebo. Overall, a 24% reduction in all fractures and a 33% reduction in hip fracture were observed. Hip bone density increased 3.7% in 3 yr in women on HRT, confirming the importance of estrogen for bone health (7).
A summary of estrogen effects on bone in women is shown in Table 4.
Testosterone Effects on Skeletal Muscle in Men
The profound anabolic effect of testosterone on muscle becomes evident at puberty, when boys gain ∼35% more muscle mass than girls. Testosterone stimulates myoblasts and increases the number of satellite cells, which promotes protein synthesis. Once men are in their 20s, testosterone levels begin to decline, and this decline is continuous throughout their lifetime (Fig. 5). If serum levels of testosterone fall below 320 ng/dl, men are considered hypogonadal, a common state after the age of 70 yr. While testosterone values decline with natural aging, there are a number of factors that diminish testosterone levels at all ages, including obesity, inactivity, trauma, diet, disease, and drugs.
Skeletal muscle has many androgen receptors, and when receptors are stimulated, muscle protein synthesis occurs. Androgen receptors are also responsive to IGF-1 and growth hormone, providing additional stimulation to increase muscle size. To illustrate the potent effect of testosterone, one investigator nearly obliterated endogenous testosterone production in normal young men with GnRH. These young men became hypogonadal (testosterone values of 31 ng/dl) with GnRH and remained hypogondal for 10 wk. Before and after GnRH administration, the quantities of lean body mass and fat mass were measured. Muscle mass significantly decreased by ∼1 kg and fat mass increased proportionately such that body weight was not different at the end of the study. This study (3) illustrates the role of testosterone in the maintenance of normal body composition in men. In another study, GnRH was used to block endogenous testosterone production for 8 wk. Various doses of testosterone were given back for the 8 wk that GnRH was being given (3). Muscle mass and strength decreased in men on the low doses of testosterone but increased once testosterone levels reached the minimum of 320 pg/dl. Although none of the events were serious, the young men in this study experienced 55 adverse events, primarily prostate-specific antigen (PSA) above 4 μg/ml, hematocrits >54%, and leg edema.
A more important question is what happens when testosterone is given to older men who are already hypogondal? Several investigators have addressed this question. Ferrando et al. (12) administered 100 mg of testosterone to six healthy men (average age: 67 yr) who were hypogonadal (defined in this study as ≤480 ng/dl) to bring testosterone levels to within normal. Following 4 wk of testosterone administration, knee extension and flexion strength was significantly increased, and the fractional synthetic rate of quadriceps muscle protein synthesis was significantly elevated. Bhasin et al. (4) administered graded doses of testosterone for 20 wk to 60 older men (60–75 yr) who were made hypogonadal following GnRH administration. The primary outcome measures were fat-free mass and maximum leg press strength. Muscle mass and strength increased in a dose-dependent manner (r = 0.77); the higher the dose of testosterone, the greater the increase in muscle size and strength. Decreases in fat mass also occurred and were inversely correlated with testosterone dose. The highest dose of testosterone increased muscle strength by nearly 50%, which has clear functional implications for the older man at risk for loss of independence. Unfortunately, there were 147 adverse events in this study, 12 of which were serious. Serious adverse events included hematocrit >54%, leg edema with shortness of breath, urinary retention, prostate cancer, and hematuria with elevated PSA. Additional side effects of testosterone administration included a dramatic drop in HDL-cholesterol, which may have long-term cardiovascular consequences, and a general overall increase in PSA values. In a recent evaluation on the safety of testosterone, Bhasin et al. concluded that "an androgen receptor modulator with anabolic properties that are free of dose-limiting adverse effects of testosterone" is needed. With so many concerning side effects, the administration of testosterone must be considered carefully, particularly for aging men (2).
More recently, Sullivan et al. (27) conducted a study in which strength training and testosterone were administered separately or together in frail old men. Testosterone was given weekly to 71 men for 12 wk. Men trained at either 20% of one repetition maximum (1-RM) or at 80% of 1-RM. Those that performed the high-intensity strength training had a significant increased in strength of ∼25%. Men who trained at 80% of 1-RM and also received testosterone injections did not show an increase in strength over and above the strength increase shown by training along. Interestingly, men that received testosterone had a significant increase in thigh muscle cross-sectional area, which did not translate into a concomitant increase in strength. These results are inconsistent with most results that show that older men gain muscle mass and strength with testosterone.
A summary of testosterone effects on skeletal muscle in men is shown in Table 5.
Testosterone Effects on Bone in Men
Recently, several investigators have begun to examine the potential relationship of testosterone and bone mass, noting a possible association of bone mass and testosterone loss with age. One cross-sectional investigation of a large number of older men examined the relationship of declines in serum testosterone and estrogen on bone mass, fat-free mass, and muscle strength. Losses in bone mass were related not only to the age-related fall in endogenous testosterone but also to the decline in endogenous estrogen. As expected, low testosterone was correlated with poor muscle strength. Although testosterone was strongly related to muscle strength and bone, estrogen was also strongly related to bone mineral density. Moreover, the positive relationship between testosterone and bone mineral density was independent of the relationship of estrogen and bone mass, suggesting a role for both hormones and the maintenance of bone with aging in men (27). The authors suggested that perhaps testosterone is aromatized to estrogen and that estrogen is responsible for the maintenance of bone mass with advancing age. It is recognized that estrogen and testosterone use different cellular pathways to inhibit osteoclastic activity and bone resorption, and perhaps hormone balance and pathway activation shift as hormone levels are altered with age. More recently, data from the Framingham study were analyzed for 793 men who had had serum estrogen and testosterone measures taken in the early 80s. These men were followed until 1999, and the incidence of hip fracture was calculated for those with low estrogen and testosterone. The findings indicated there were no significant increased risks for hip fracture among men with low testosterone. Men with the lowest levels of estrogen had the highest incidence rates of hip fracture. In subsequent analyses, men with low estrogen and testosterone combined had the greatest risk for hip fracture (1). Bone health in men has been minimally examined and provides an ample opportunity for future inquiry.
In summary, falling testosterone levels with age are associated with the loss of lean muscle and bone mass. Testosterone supplementation is probably not warranted for older men due to a high incidence of detrimental effects. Inactivity is likely a major factor contributing to lower testosterone values at all ages. Exercise increases testosterone levels in young men, but it is not clear if exercise has a similar effect in older men. A summary of testosterone and estrogen effects on bone in men is shown in Table 6.
Considering how little is understood about processes so fundamental, there is a need for more physiological, biochemical, endocrine, molecular, genomic, and medical knowledge on age-related changes in men and women. Skeletal muscle and bone are vitally important, and strategies to maintain the well being of these tissues throughout the course of an average lifetime are needed.

MOUNT VERNON, Va. - President Bush honored the 275th birthday of the nation's first president Monday, likening George Washington's long struggle that gave birth to a nation to the war on global terrorism.
"Today, we're fighting a new war to defend our liberty and our people and our way of life," said Bush, standing in front of Washington's home and above a mostly frozen Potomac River.
"And as we work to advance the cause of freedom around the world, we remember that the father of our country believed that the freedoms we secured in our revolution were not meant for Americans alone."
Bush chose the national Presidents Day holiday to make his first visit as president to Mount Vernon. He and first lady Laura Bush helped lay a wreath at Washington's tomb, then the president gave a speech from a platform on the bowling green lawn of the estate.
"I feel right at home here. After all, this is the home of the first George W. I thank President Washington for welcoming us today. He doesn't look a day over 275 years old," Bush said.
"As president, George Washington understood that his decisions would shape the future of our young nation and set precedent. He formed the first Cabinet, appointed the first judges, and issued the first veto."
"Over the centuries, America has succeeded because we have always tried to maintain the decency and the honor of our first president," Bush said.

Tomorrow, Willie Manning Is Scheduled To Die. Shouldn't Mississippi Find Out If He's Innocent First?
Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant alone has the power to save Willie Manning, who is scheduled to die tomorrow, May 7, 2013. Mississippi is steamrolling toward execution even though there is compelling evidence that Willie Manning may be an innocent man.
Manning's case has many of the hallmarks of those of other innocent death row exonerees: false snitch testimony, junk science, and racial bias. The prosecutors in Manning's case, like in all too many cases, stacked the deck by systematically removing African-American jurors from Manning's trial. Manning, an African-American man, was convicted of the murders of two white college students.
Much of the key evidence that led to Manning's murder convictions and sentence of death has turned out to be a sham. One witness has admitted that he lied in his testimony, and another confessed that she never revealed what she was promised for her words against Manning. The FBI has conceded that it wrongly testified about a "match" between a hair found in the victim's car and Manning when science supported no such thing. The FBI has gone further and offered to perform new DNA testing. Since 1994, Manning has been requesting DNA testing that would prove one way or the other the truth about the murders.
In the face of the evidence of innocence discovered since the trial, the Supreme Court of Mississippi failed to uphold its duty to serve justice. The Court decided that it would not stop Manning's execution to allow new DNA testing. Now, only a decision by Governor Bryant is likely to permit this critical testing.
Executions are not the place to act first and ask questions later. These grave questions of innocence should be answered before it is too late.

Why shouldn't residents from other states be able to send emails to the Mississippi governor through the link above?
Just because it's happening in Mississippi, doesn't mean that voices from outside the state are unhelpful. The more opposition to the death penalty, the better. Right?

When you click on any of the links to take action, then fill out the letter to the governor, the form rejects your letter if you are not from Mississippi. How can you help/take action if you are not from Mississippi?

How can you help if you are not from Mississippi?
I filled out the letter to the governor, using the form on your site, after clicking through to "take action," but the form rejects your response if you are not from Mississippi.
- May 6, 2013
This man deserves the right to have the DNA tested in this case to prove if he is innocent or not. Please do not let this execution go through without giving him his RIGHT to be cleared or not. EVERYONE deserves to be given a fair trial and he did not seem to get one. So many people have come forward and claimed they made mistakes or lied and still his execution is on going?? What a shame, this justice system is totally messed up. If you can't grant this stay of execution, I will have lost ALL faith in the government and justice system.

To the others who want to help, but don't live in Mississippi I've been sending this message to all of my FB friends.
"Please call Governor Bryant's office to request clemency for Willie Manning 601-359-3150. Let's light his phone up all day so he knows that we're not turning a blind eye to this injustice!!! "

in america in certain states, in certain towns & cities, if you are white you are presumed innocent until proven guilty, but if you are black or brown you are guilty until proven innocent and even then, its up to the judge whether or not he will allow his racism to determine the outcome of an accused but innocent black man.

Alice Lighthouse has the looks of a super model but with the added bonus of voluptuous natural tits. Alice wore a short tight dress that her hard nipples pierced through like a sharp diamond and high heels that accentuated her long beautiful legs. Alice seduced us and the camera, we worshipped her every move while she sensually stripped and played with her fun bags. She rubbed her tight wet pussy and begged for a hard cock. Gavin stuffed her pretty mouth with his schlong and she masterfully slobbed on it. Soon after, he relentlessly pounded her pussy and then blasted her huge melons with an unbelievable amount of jizz.
Gabriel and Tara Fox, the reigning big booty queens of Round and Brown, made a triumphant return. The big tit and ass ladies did it all for their loyal subjects, from booty shaking to double teaming the cock. Tarzan had the pleasure of dousing the gargantuan beautiful butts with oil. We worshipped while they twerked, the aftershock can still be felt. Soon after, Gabriel and Tara masterfully slobbed on the knob before taking turns riding. Tarzan pounded both of the girls and eventually blasted his jizz all over them.
Oh how I love the Round n Brown's hotties. Today we bring you two beautiful ebony queens, Bethany and HoneyLou ready to suck and shove cock in their pussies. They passed by and were extra kinky and horny. They were a little friendlier than usual and they even told me they had an extreme appetite for dick. Anytime you the get all these combos going together you know it's gonna be a great update. Damon Dice was the lucky bastard to fuck these babes and he fucked them proper. With this I bid adieu and long live Round n Brown!
Nova Star appeared at our front door, and she was looking for a good time. She dressed the part. Her tall frame and legs that went on forever were undeniable.

She gobbled up his cock before and after every position. She either loved to suck cock and balls or she really loved the tasted of her pussy on them. Either way, she was a hot party worth every second.
Tara Fox came back again and she was looking sexy as ever. This nineteen year old was looking super hot in that bikini. Her ass and tits were amazing.

When we first caught up to Tyera, she was getting dressed as her boyfriend filmed her. This black GF was sexy and curvy. She was also supremely down and started to tease her BF by shaking that ass for the camera. Things were warming up, so they headed into the bathroom to make it steamy. There Tyera pulled out those huge brown tits, and we were mesmerized. Her BF started grabbing and squeezing them, and that made her really horny. Tyera dropped her pants to show of that big ass booty. Her BF jumped in and started to rub that pussy and lick on it. Tyera completely lost control and wanted that dick bad. She pulled it out of his pants and stuffed it in her pretty mouth. Tyera had some major dick-sucking lips and gave him an amazing blow job. She sucked the balls and everything! Then they went into the bedroom where Tyera got on top and really showed off her skills. This black GF rode that dick like a champ as her huge ass bounced and rebounded all over. She even did a 180 to ride that dick reverse cowgirl, and his cock never came out. Now, that's a keeper! Her BF was inspired and pounded that pussy like a wild man in doggy style. But that coochie was just too good, so he pulled out, and Tyera took that load all over her pretty face. This one is a must-see!
t was a beautiful day, and Jezabel only made it better! In a good mood, her BF fired up his camera and walked around outside filiming. He eventually came across the bathroom that led to the pool where he found Jezabel getting ready. She was topless and had on some tiny, jean, booty shorts. This black girlfriend had a pair of tits that were second to none. They were big, brown and beautiful. Her BF quickly noticed she was taking selfies, so he didn't interrupt her. He just went on filming her fineness, as she posed and took some great pics. When Jezabel caught him, she was so embaressed. She admitted they were for him, so he ran with it and started giving her compliments. The flattery totally worked, and pretty soon, she was posing for him. Jezabel showed off those perfect titties and shook that HOT ass all over. She was feeling frisky, so she dropped to her knees and started sucking her boyfriend's dick right there. Things were intense, so they took the action indoors. There Jezabel got on top and worked that pussy like only a Black GF could. She took that cock deep, as her huge tits bounced all over from the thrusting. Her BF pounded that pussy hard all over the bed from multiple angles giving us great shots of those juggs bouncing all over. And when he couldn't take anymore of that amazing pussy, he pulled out and came into Jezabel's pretty mouth and on her gorgeous face.

He told her that he'd found a box in the closet and wanted to know what it was because they'd agreed to try and budget. But when Karma told him that it was a gift of lingerie, he was all about keeping it. Initially, she didn't want to show it to him because she was upset that he'd gone through her stuff. But when he told her he'd gotten her a sparkly gift, Karma ran to the room to show him the lingerie she'd gotten. She brought this HOT see-through outfit, stripped naked in the living room and put it on. This babe was smoking. We were just blown away by how fine she was.

Ebony azz pussy hoes gallery. Ava and her BF took a trip south to get out of the snow and get some beach time. It had been a while, so Ava was really excited when they could finally see the water from the highway. Her boyfriend, however, was more interested in her nice ebony tits. He had his camera out, and as they waited for a drawbridge, asked for a little titty flash. After some hesitation, Ava gave a quick peak. Her boobs were big and beautiful, and we couldn't wait to see more of them. About then, he cut the video. When we caught up to them again, they were out on the sand. Ava had on a thong bikini, and that booty was insane. It was big, bubbly and guaranteed a good time. After the beach, there was a long walk back to the car, and we loved every moment. Ava wanted to get a bite to eat, but they headed back to the room they'd rented first for a little alone time. There Ava stripped down, got on her knees and started sucking her man off. This ebony babe gave a blowjob like no other. Then she turned that big booty around, and her BF tagged that pussy from behind. It was a thing of beauty watching that body get worked. When her man couldn't take anymore, he pulled out and blew an insane load that shot all the way up Ava's stomach and tits to her face. No doubt, Ava will have you busting like you were breaking Olympic records.

Even though Envy had a perfect body, she was still trying to hide it and was acting shy in front of the camera. It wasn't long though before the teasing made Envy tip over with naughtiness and let those titties loose. Her BF squeezed and sucked her giant juggs, and Envy decided to get him back with a sloppy blow job. This girl used dick-sucking techniques we never even knew existed. Envy was a total freak and wanted that dick bad. She spread her pussy wide on the couch, and her boyfriend pounded that HOT black poonani deep and hard as her huge tits bounced all over from the stroking. Envy rode that cock while in doggy and gave us a great view of that hot chocolate booty in action. That pussy was fire, and her man finished off with style. He stroked Envy's tits until he exploded all over her face. Now, that's how you do it!

Maryland license plates would lay claim to the state as "Home of Our National Anthem" if one state lawmaker has his way.
Republican Sen. Larry Haines wants all plates to carry the slogan starting Oct. 1 if his bill, submitted this week, passes.
Maryland last displayed a slogan on their standard issue license plate in the mid-1980s, celebrating the 350th anniversary of the state's founding as a colony.
Department of Legislative Services staff said that 33 other states display a slogan or motto on their standard license plates.
Maryland native Francis Scott Key penned "The Star-Spangled Banner" almost 200 years ago, after the British attacked Baltimore's Fort McHenry.

Hello Peter,
Since it's wanting you to enter both your user name and password instead of just password, then you might see if using step 2 and 8 in Option One of the tutorial below may help with this.
Log On with User Name and PasswordAfterwards, if it's still not automatically logging into your account at startup, then the tutorial below can sort that for you. Since you do not have a password, you would just leave the password fields empty.
Log On Automatically at StartupHope this helps.

I first became involved with the National Kidney Registry (NKR) when my wife and I decided to donate one of our kidney's. We chose the NKR because of the impassioned story of Garet Hil, a man who founded the organization out of his own personal frustration to find a kidney for his daughter.
Not knowing anything about how a nonprofit organization operates, Mr. Hil, a successful corporate executive, designed the organization on a business model. He utilized close to two million dollars of his own funds and the donations of friends and corporations to launch it. Within three years of operation the organization has become the world leader in "paired exchange" transplants. In 2010, the organization facilitated more "paired exchanges" than all the other American "paired exchange" programs combined… without an organ rejection or fatality.
Currently, the NKR has 54 affiliated transplant centers. That number should reach 100 by the 2012. The organization charges no fees to recipients or donors and pays all the travel and lodging expenses (not covered by insurance) required to facilitate a living donor exchange.

Partner collections: Manuscripts from the Koninklijke Bibliotheek and Museum Meermanno
Arkyves contains the illumination of 400 manuscripts from the collections of the Koninklijke Bibliotheek and Museum Meermann-Westreenianum, both in The Hague. It thus integrates the material that is found on the manuscript website of the Koninklijke Bibliotheek with medieval material found in the collection of the Rijksmuseum and the RKD Images database, as exemplified by this collection of Crucifixion images.
Those 400 manuscripts include 165 Books of Hours with almost 3,000 miniatures and historiated initials, 22 Bible manuscripts with over 2,000 illuminations. You will also find Missals, Lectionaries, Breviaries and other liturgical manuscripts, Psalters and Prayer Books, the Speculum humanae salvationis, Jacob van Maerlant's Der Naturen Bloeme, and several volumes of St. Augustine's De civitate Dei.
Should you want to limit queries to manuscripts, just select Manuscript Illumination as a TYPE filter and set it to includes, as is shown here for the Mass of Saint Gregory the Great. By changing the filter setting to excludes you filter out the manuscript illumination. Removing the filter will obviously give you back all the hits for the query.
This can be done for any theme, as shown here for scenes of Alexander the Great in manuscripts, not in manuscripts, or both in manuscripts and other types of material.
A long list of researchers should be acknowledged for their work of the past 40 years in cataloguing the manuscripts that are included in Arkyves (and on the websites of the Koninklijke Bibliotheek and Museum Meermanno-Westreenianum). They include: Anne Korteweg, Klara Broekhuijsen-Kruijer, Klaas van der Hoek and the other members of the Byvanck Foundation, Ed van der Vlist, and Yassu Frossati.

" Genre: Crime / Thriller / Author: Scott Nicholson / Kindle Edition / 349 Pages / Book is published 2010-06-25 by Haunted Computer Books "
* Prices may differ from that shown
In the last couple of weeks, vast numbers of Scott Nicholson's work have become available, for a few days at a time, for free on Kindle and, after seeing a lot of his titles get good reviews, I decided to give his books a go and see what I thought.
Speed Dating With The Dead is the first of his titles that I have finished and, though often a bit predictable and very similar to A LOT of other books by fellow authors, really isn't that bad. Set in an old hotel situated close to the Applachian mountains, the book follows the adventures of a team of Paranormal Investigators whose Spiritual Confrerence stirs up old demons that, until now, have lain dormant deep beneath the hotel. Before long, guests attending the conference start to go missing, the Investigators begin experiencing phenomena on a scale they have never seen before and members of the Hotel staff find themselves exhibiting increasingly more extreme behaviour, almost against their will, as they fall deeper under the influence of powerful demonic possession.
Many of the themes and ideas explored here are ones many of us old school horror fans will have seen countless times before. For example ~ the main character and host of the Spiritual conference, Digger Wilson has come to the hotel to get in touch with his late wife ( a la the video game, Silent Hill 2) and is a recovering alcoholic (Stephen King's The Shining). The rest of the plot is not much better taking its inspiration from the likes of John Carpenter, Sam Raimi and a whole host of others, almost too obviously so at times!
And yet, for all this, the book is quite fun to read and only the muddled climax really lets the whole thing down! Towards the end, it becomes increasingly less clear exactly what is going down other than the fact that the Investigators have stirred up SOMETHING! And when we do get the big reveal in the final pages, it just all seems a little bit....well, disappointing.
That said, Nicholson shows some great potential here and with a whole host of other titles to pick from, it will be interesting to see what I make of some of his other work! Certainly, I would definitely give this author another go and look forward to reading more by him even this was, at times, ever so slightly average at best!

indigenous leaders
Reconciliation is never easy, which is why it doesn't happen very often. Reconciliation is not something that can be checked off of a list. It is not a single event encapsulated in a moment of time. Reconciliation begins with a conversation and ends with a relationship restored.
It was the morning of Dec. 19, and I was standing in front of the U.S. Capitol building in Washington D.C. I had reserved that space months in advance so I could host a public reading of H.R. 3326, the 2010 Department of Defense Appropriations Act. I did this because page 45 of this 67-page document contained an "apology to native peoples of the United States." In three years this apology had not been announced, publicized, or read by either the White House or the 111th Congress.
The real work has been done for years by indigenous leaders on both sides of the border.

Review for Little Pearls, Asheville, NC, USA
Little Pearls has created a dialogue with my patient base that is very respected and loved for their spirited presentation of "all that we are possible of." Folks really need to see graphic examples of possibility. DVD's of Little Pearls have been so very well appreciated !
To be called forward in ourselves to contribute and be part of something larger than ourselves is truly a gift. Little Pearls over and again displays the spirit of calling that forward, that which we most deeply wish for our grandchildren. Thank You !!
Review for Little Pearls, Asheville, NC, USA
I have experienced the healing power that Little Pearls has facilitated in our community regarding widely varying circumstances of challenge, pain and the possibility to transform such into a positive outcome. For example,they have produced a simply beautiful "Pearl" concerning Amanda Levesque, a young woman with serious physical handicaps yet great spirited determination to live her dreams. Such a great and inspiring example to put forth publicly in these days of mullt-faceted challenge. This story is of particular power for me because Amanda's Mother is a dear friend of ours and the "Pearl" is so empowering to Amanda and her family. Thank You !!
More Feedback

Very hard work by Little Pearls has led to a great community respect and appreciation. I have directed many of my healthcare patient to their work for inspiration that each person can truly make a difference.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
They can use more funding, more public exposure and more volunteers to further their wonderful work.

Quarterly returns on young NBA season
Published 7:44 pm, Saturday, December 15, 2012
Quietly, the NBA passed the first-quarter mark of the season at some point in the middle of last week. This morning, every team will have played at least 21 games, which is a half-game more than precisely 25 percent of a full 82-game season. Most have played 22 or 23, while the Spurs, Pistons and Jazz have crammed 25 into the first 47 days of the season.
Express-News NBA writer Mike Monroe offers his award winners for this first checkpoint of the season.
More Information
Kevin Durant, Thunder
Losing James Harden a few days before the start of the season required more from the Thunder's best player, and Durant has adapted his game to become more of a facilitator. His scoring is down just a tick but still among the top three in the league (27.5 ppg); his assists and rebounds are up, and his team is riding a 10-game win streak and has the best record in the league.
Carmelo Anthony (Knicks).
Kelvin Sampson, Rockets
When coach Kevin McHale left the Rockets on Nov. 10 to be with family in the days before his 23-year-old daughter Alexandra died of complications related to Lupus, Sampson took over and held together a young team that easily could have collapsed. Houston went 7-6 under his guidance, and the next time there is a coaching vacancy, his name is certain to be among those considered.
Damian Lillard,
Trail Blazers
This was supposed to be a no-brainer for the Hornets' Anthony Davis. It's a no-brainer, all right, but for Portland's Lillard instead. He is the leader among rookies in points (18.9 per game) and assists (6.4), and is the only rookie who truly has made an impact. Even if Davis had not missed 13 games to injury, Lillard still would be an easy choice.
Most Improved
Tim Duncan, Spurs
This is not an outrageous notion. Name another player whose contributions increased so dramatically after 16 seasons. Ever. Duncan's scoring average from last season is up a full 2.4 points per game (15.4 to 17.8), and his rebounds have increased by 1.2 per game (9.0 to 10.2). His field-goal percentage (49.2 percent to 51.3 percent) and free-throw percentage (69.5 to 79.2) also are up. Finally, his blocks per game are at 2.6, compared to 1.5, and his interior work is one of the big reasons the Spurs are on pace to be back among the best defensive units in the league.
Sixth Man
Kevin Martin, Thunder
Won't it be a hoot if Martin, acquired from the Rockets in the trade that sent reigning Sixth Man of the Year James Harden to Houston, takes the award this season? Don't laugh. In 30 minutes per game off the bench, Martin is averaging 16.0 points and shooting 46.8 percent from 3-point range for the team with the league's best record. Harden last season averaged 16.8 points per game and shot 34 percent from deep.
Crawford (Clippers), J.R. Smith (Knicks)
Defensive Player
Jason Kidd, Knicks
Kidd never has been adequately appreciated for his defensive skills, but his ability to lock down point guards and shooting guards is one reason the Knicks lead the Eastern Conference. He is in the top 12 in steals (1.9 per game), and when the Knicks needed to stop Kobe Bryant to blunt a Lakers comeback last week, New York turned to the 39-year-old.

Social Security Payments to See Largest Increase in a Decade
WASHINGTON - Thanks to a bump in the cost of living adjustment, Social Security monthly checks will soon see a 4.1% increase, the largest hike in more than a decade. Starting in 2006, more than 48 million Americans will get a 4.1% increase in their monthly Social Security checks. The average benefit will rise by $39 to $1,002. The Social Security Administration (SSA) announced on Oct. 14 that the cost of living adjustment or COLA will see its biggest increase since 1991 - 5.4%. More than 52 million people and more than 48 million Social Security recipients will see COLA. The SSA also said 11.3 million workers will have to pay higher taxes next year because the maximum amount of Social Security earnings subject to the payroll tax will rise to $94,200 next year from the current $90,000. The adjusted COLA is based on the consumer-price index, which is determined by the amount prices have risen from July to September, compared to the same period in

Under the Pulaski Bridge: Laguna, Cern & CekisMay 30th, 2011 | By Lois Stavsky | No Comments »
I'd heard about these walls for awhile, as they've attracted not only local crews and writers but the likes of Os Gemeos and Laguna. But had I not decided to walk over the Pulaski Bridge connecting Greenpoint, Brooklyn to Long Island City, Queens, I may have never seen them. I will definitely be returning, but in the meantime, here are a few images:
