Nine Additional Team USA Wrestlers To Compete In 'Beat The Streets' Wrestling In Times Square May 7
Garrett, Kennedy, Metcalf, Oliver, Stieber, Taylor, Ruth, Snyder, Ruth Join Burroughs & Maroulis; Youth Wrestlers From 'Beat The Streets' To Be Announced Shortly
The nine star wrestlers join Olympic and two-time World champion Jordan Burroughs (74 kg/163 lbs.) and World silver medalist Helen Maroulis (55 kg/121 lbs.), who were announced by Beat the Streets and USA Wrestling as the first two U.S. competitors last week.
The purpose of this event is to elevate the profile of wrestling and to raise funds to support the operation of over 140 youth development wrestling programs in New York City, serving nearly 3,000 student-athletes.
The U.S. lineup features many of the most popular and successful athletes competing today. In total, the entire U.S. team accounts for 14 NCAA titles, four Hodge Trophy awards, 12 U.S. Open titles, six World Team berths, six Junior World medals plus an Olympic gold medal, an Olympic bronze medal, two Senior World titles and a Junior World gold medal.
Randi Miller was a 2008 Olympic bronze medalist, joining Olympic champion Burroughs as an Olympic medalist on the team.
The team will feature five athletes who won the recent 2014 U.S. Open in Las Vegas, Burroughs, Maroulis, Kennedy, Metcalf and Miller. Multiple U.S. Open champions on the team include Maroulis (five times), Burroughs (three times) and Miller (two times).
Past NCAA champions on the squad include three-time champions Ruth of Penn State and Stieber of Ohio State plus two-time champions Taylor of Penn State, Oliver of Oklahoma State, Metcalf of Iowa and Burroughs of Nebraska. Taylor won the Dan Hodge Trophy as the nation's best college wrestler two times, while Metcalf and Burroughs were also past Hodge Trophy winners.
The team will feature two talented young athletes who are making their mark. Nahshon Garrett, who is a two-time All-American and 2014 NCAA finalist from Cornell, is 20 years old. High School senior Kyle Snyder, a 2013 Junior World champion, is just 18 years old.
The World All-Stars roster is still being finalized, and will feature Olympic, World and Continental medalists from around the world. Additionally, exhibitions involving the young Beat the Streets athletes prior to the international competition will be announced as they are set. The Beat the Streets children will take to the mat at 4 p.m., followed by Team USA vs. the World at 5:30 (match order TBD). The evening concludes with the Beat the Streets Award Gala at 7:30 p.m. at Best Buy Theater (1515 Broadway).
The USA vs. the World dual requires a ticket for reserved seating in Times Square, but is an outdoor event. Pedestrians and non-ticket holders are encouraged to watch. Admission tickets may be bought in advance at www.btsny.org or 212.245.6570. A ticket is required for the Gala. More details are available at btsny.org/gala. Fans can join the conversation about the event on Twitter by utilizing #BTSGalaTSQ.
The world-class competition has twice before been held in Times Square. Last year the event moved to historic Grand Central Terminal, where it was also a huge success. Dubbed "The Rumble on the Rails," it featured dual meets between Team USA, Russia and Iran and was an important part of the international Keep Olympic Wrestling effort, which resulted in wrestling retaining its status on the Olympic Games program.
This will be the fifth straight year in which a major international-

Boz Scaggs: Greatest Hits Live Trailer (2004)
Singer-songwriter-guitarist Boz Scaggs has kept a fairly low profile since his heyday in the '70s and '80s--a circumstance more than rectified with Greatest Hits Live, a great-looking, great-sounding concert recorded in San Francisco in 2004. For the most part, this is Silk Degrees-style Boz, drawing from a large catalog that favors ballads (some quite lovely, like "Harbor Lights," "We're All Alone," and "Look What You've Done to Me") and deft pop-R&B-jazz à la Steely Dan (albeit with more soul and less verbal wit and sophistication). But while "Lido Shuffle," and other expected hits are here, so are several grittier, bluesier moments, including Earl King's "It All Went Down the Drain" and extended versions of the big band blues "Runnin' Blue" and the slow lament "Loan Me a Dime" (a tune from Scaggs's 1969 solo album that featured great guitar playing by the late Duane Allman).

6 days to see London and Paris on our first trip to Eurpoe
Report Abuse
Before anyone goes into detail--6 WHOLE days? not counting arrival and departure which would never be whole days?
What do you mean "time for another train or bus?" The only ways I know of between the British Isles and the continent are either flights, the Eurostar, or a ferry.
Report Abuse
I would pick up a Rick Steves book to get an idea of how to see all the places you have listed in London. He also has a Paris book.
Do your 6 days include travel to and from London? Are you flying out of Paris or doing a round trip out of London?
I would recommend saving Paris for another trip as it would eat up quite a bit of your visit to travel there. Eurostar would be your best option as it is quickest route going from mid-city to mid-city.
Report Abuse
I meant to say, if you must include Paris on this busy trip, Eurostar would be your best option. A fight would take most of a day as you'd need to travel to and from an airport, arrive early to check in, etc.
How many days were you planning for London and Paris? Do you have a reservation in Paris?
Report Abuse
You can get a quick glimpse of both cities - but I would tend to stay in London.
For getting from one to another The Eurostar is the best option. Look at different dates and times and you may bet some better prices - but the lowest are usually sold out 3 months in advance.
Report Abuse
Thanks for the info. 6 whole days- I did not count travel days. Looked at flights and Eurostar to go to Paris. Both had availability but we're pricey. I will rethink adding that to our trip- although I really wanted to go. Was not sure if another train/ ferry might be an option - still seeing sights while traveling.
Report Abuse
6 whole days available to clear things up. Flying round trip from London.
Report Abuse
If you are flying round trip though London you need to factor in a day to get back to London to fly out.
If you MUST go to Paris, then fly directly on to Paris the same morning you land at LHR. Then after 2 days in Paris take the Eurostar to London and stay there til you fly home.
But really, you should just stick to London if you only have 6 days on the ground (which is probably 5.5 days if you are counting your arrival day. And the first couple of days will be jet lagged)
Report Abuse
With only 6 days the most you could really do is an overnight or long day trip to Paris. I know some people think it's worth while to to at least get a taste, and the Eurostar makes that possible. I would certainly not waste the amount of time it would take to fly there, even if it were cheaper. Six days is barely enough time to see London, and if you really feel the need to get out of London there are numerous day trips in England that work great. If you do choose to go to Paris you won't have time for Versailles though.
Report Abuse
You are not doing multi-city, into London and out of Paris, so you would have to back track to London. Is there any way you can change that? If not, then IMHO, just save Paris for another trip. Plenty to keep you busy in London for six days. It is a fabulous city. You could do some short day trips to places near London.
Busses around London can be boring and you can be stuck in traffic breathing a lot of fumes. Easier to walk and use metro.
Report Abuse
As with any travel, the price of the train or flight depends on how busy it is on the particular days you choose to travel. I see on the Eurostar website that Eurostar trains in March from London to Paris are as cheap as $54 USD per person mid-week and as expensive as $383. Obviously, if you have any flexibility, try to travel mid-week. You could also train one way and fly the other if for some reason that works out better.
I agree that the train might be easier and certainly less stressful.
Report Abuse
There is so much to see and do in London that I think you will be very happy to concentrate your visit there. You can take a day trip from London if you want a change of scenery.
Besides what you have already listed in London, you might consider visiting Westminster Abbey, Churchill's War Rooms, St. Paul's Cathedral, the Victoria and Albert museum, the National Portrait Gallery, the National Gallery, one of the Tate museums, and the British Library just to name a few highlights. Going to tea, shopping at Harrods, seeing a few plays and eating at a pub might be great fun. You'll find plenty to do!
Report Abuse
If you have never been to either city, there is certainly the temptation to try to get a little taste of both. In six days you don't have time to see it all, but you could see something.
If you are visiting with your daughter, I'm doubting that you will go straight from your London airport to Paris, then work your way back, even if that is the most efficient way to see both cities if you have to go in and out through London. You'll want to see your daughter first, won't you?
If you really want to see Paris, just plan to spend most of your time in London, then head over by Eurostar to Paris. As others have said, it is quick and goes from city center to city center. Be sure you do your research so that you can make your way around the highlights of Paris.
You might do four nights in London, then leave as early as possible on the fifth day for Paris. Spend the day exploring the city and seeing the sights. Stay overnight, spend another half day there, then take Eurostar back to London for your last night. This will give you a glimpse of Paris. Plan to go back again when you have more time.
Report Abuse
But that plan has you packing and unpacking an extra time and having less than a full day in Paris ( yes, even though the train 'only' takes 2+ hours, the total time door to door lis more like 4+ hours). Plus you lose an hour w/ the time change. So do you REALLY want to go though all that hassle for maybe 10 useable hours in Paris?
Report Abuse
I would think your daughter will also want to show you some of her London -- places she has discovered or go with you to new sites she has been wanting to visit.
OK, I think you've heard enough from me.
Report Abuse
I think the advice to remain in London is sage. We and our 13 year-old daughter just returned yesterday from four full days in London (our third visit), and last night over dinner bemoaned that we had not taken a longer holiday. Whenever possible I accompany DH on work trips to Paris for a couple of days, as well, and either wander aimlessly or tackle a specific agenda of a couple of activities. We can take shorter trips because we're just a two hour flight away from each city and thus have no jet lag issues; and we also have transit passes and are familiar with each network. Trying to fit both of these large cities into six days would be an heroic feat, I think.
Report Abuse
Dividing your time between London and Paris, within 6 days, and you're not a teenager or backpacker, would be a total waste of your time. Stick with enjoying London and visit Paris on another trip.
Report Abuse
No-one advising here has the foggiest idea about the pressures on your time.
If this is likely to be the only chance you'll ever have of seeing Paris (unlikely, frankly) and it's essential for you to see the place (can't begin for a second to see why, but it takes all sorts) then you'd be nuts not to go and see it.
With limited time, the ONLY options that make sense are:

No-one advising here has the foggiest idea about the pressures on your time.
If this is likely to be the only chance you'll ever have of seeing Paris (unlikely, frankly) and it's essential for you to see the place (can't begin for a second to see why, but it takes all sorts) then you'd be nuts not to go and see it.
With limited time, the ONLY options that make sense are:
- Fly. Preferably as part of an existing flight: flying direct to/from Paris on the transatlantic leg, or transferring at a London airport straight onto a flight to/from Paris. From Central London onto a Paris-bound plane will almost ALWAYS take substantially longer than the entire train journey to Paris. The one exception is to use London City Airport (tens of miles from the equally misleadingly described City University, but still a far faster way of getting to Paris than any other strategy apart from the plane. OR
- train. To all intents and purposes it's impossible without a car to get to Paris from central London via a ferry within an average lifetime. Buses average 10-12 hours each way.
Ignore all the blather about Paris being a waste of your time. Personally I think Paris is a waste of good agricultural land: but it's YOUR time, and only you know how important seeing the theme park is. As long as you're not the kind of idle wastrel who can't get up in the morning, going to Paris for a day is a painless day out, and if a day's all you've got, you'll still see a great deal (though NOT Versailles). It IS just possible to see Versailles in a day from London: but there'll be no time for the Louvre or Notre Dame. I've never seen the point of going out of anyone's way for the Eiffel Tower, or encountered a single human being able to explain how doing so contributed to their life.
Only the hopelessly innumerate believe you "lose an hour" doing it, and thousands of us regularly - and serially - do so.
Otherwise: the wisest words on this thread are "your daughter will also want to show you some of her London"
London's not some cruise-ship destination, defined entirely by the gushings of travel writers (though Paris is). It hasn't had more influence on creating today's world than any city on the planet (except Rome), and become the world's soft power capital through "Buckingham Palace (why?), Tower of London, Double Decker bus tour, river trip on Thames and British Museum".
Start off getting your daughter to tell you what she likes and dislikes, and see as much of that as you can. Then walk from Tower Bridge along the river to the embankment opposite Parliament - an infinitely better use of anyone's time than being cooped up in a noisy boat listening to the dubious anecdotes of a professional tip-touter.
Report Abuse
I think it would be a crime to NOT bring your 14-year-old to Paris. I second the advice someone gave to connect to CDG directly from LHR, spend your first 2 days in Paris, and Eurostar over to London.
Or you could turn it around. Fly into London, stay 4 days (recovering from jet lag somewhat), take train to Paris for 2 days, then fly CDG-LHR-home.
In Paris, skip Versailles. Sure, the Louvre (just 2 hours though) and the Eiffel Tower if you must, but mostly walk around. One of the great walking cities. Oh, and research a couple of good restaurants (not fancy, just well reviewed) - the eating in Paris is generally memorable.
In London, the must-sees are the British Museum and Nat'l Gallery. Catch a show if you can. I am not a guided-tour person myself... your daughter there will take care of you - trust her.
Don't try to cram everything in - you can't, on this trip - keep a human pace. It will be fabulous!
Report Abuse
I cannot help you with deciding what is most important, but some logistical tips.
1. Watch out for closing days, many places are not open 7 days a week.
2. Getting to Versailles from Paris central is about 2 hours round trip on the RER (in local pronounciation, r "eh" r, not r eee r). This is a commuter railway. I won't go into the details now, but to take a tour of the interior and see the gardens and have lunch and so forth will take the better part of a day.
2. The Eiffel Tower will have lineups for the elevator, can't be helped. The lines IME tend to start shortening after 3 p.m. We spent 3 hours up in the tower, because the views are not only lovely but there are panels that help you to understand what you are seeing (i.e. what a given building is in the given viewscape.)
3. The Louvre takes the better part of a morning or an afternoon for a first look, and you have to be very selective as the place is enormous. Consider opting instead to see the National Gallery as London is your main stop. There are many, many masterpieces in the NG to rival that smug-faced woman in black over in the Louvre.
Finally: I can think of no better mad cap escapade than to go with my 14 year old and college-aged daughter on a crazy day trip to Paris. Normally I wouldn't recommend this but you will never get those girls at that age grouping again. You will return exhausted but I bet none of you would ever forget the day "we all made that stupid but memorable crazy run to Paris, getting up at 5:30 a.m and returning by mid evening....." Just be sure to plan it so that you have the next day to relax in London.
Report Abuse
That said, I second Flanner - London is one of the most fascinating cities I've ever seen, I prefer it to Paris although I've never been sorry to have had the chance to visit Paris 3 times. So if you decide to spend all your time in London, you won't be disappointed.
Report Abuse
My first real trip to Europe was ten days to London and Paris. I enjoyed London, but I fell in love with Paris. Six days is indeed not that much time. Personally, I would still try to sneak in a day in Paris, even if to see the Eiffel Tower at night and wander around for a few hours before heading home. It would make the most sense to do that if flying out of Paris with enough time to catch the flight out of London same day, in my opinion. (It would be easier of course just to fly out of Paris home instead of from London, but I assume that's not possible/practical.)
Report Abuse
Sue_xx_yy nailed when she said you will have a never-to-be-forgotten blast taking a day-trip to Paris with your daughters.
Just be sure to plan well, since you'll have limited time. Get one of the first trains of the day and come back after dinner. What you do in-between is up to you, but here are my thoughts of some things to do:
1. Don't go up the Eiffel Tower...take a Seine cruise and you'll see it fine...or just check it out from Trocadero.
2. Pick ONE museum...depending on your art taste...either Orsay or Louvre and spend a couple of hours only. [Orsay may be a better choice, since it's impressionist collection can't be matched in London, but a lot of the Louvre's genres can between the Brit. Museum and the Nat. Gallery.]
3. Get a book with a self-guided walk, pick one that seems interesting, and do it.
4. Don't go to Versailles...it's obviously great, but too time-consuming for a day-trip to Paris.
5. After dinner, take a little walk along the river on Ile St Louis before heading back to Gare du Nord.
...all just my opinion.
Report Abuse
My first two picks would be Notre Dame and St. Chapelle which is just across the street from it. Google the S.C. images and see if you are not sold!
Report Abuse
Do Paris as a day trip using Eurostar and do it right in the middle of your six days - flying straight onto Paris on your arrival day won't give you quite as much time and you'll probably be tired after the transatlantic flight anyway.
So 2 days London, 1 day Paris, 2 days London.
I personally would not do any museums as that could eat a lot of time, especially with queuing. Wander, see the Eiffel tower (but don't go up) see either sacre coeur or notre dame, have pâtésserie, try and catch a street market, use the river bus.
Do not stay overnight - get a lateish train back.
Report Abuse
Suggestion...both Notre Dame and St Chapelle can have long lines. If you are there when that is not the case, by all mean go into whichever has a short line.
However, if that is the case, and if you are there on a Sunday, Notre Dame can be experienced without the lines...pop in during an early mass.
The nave, crossing, choir and apse are obviously in use and cannot be toured, but you can walk around the aisle and at least one of the transepts.
If you are a Catholic, you'll want to participate as well.
The experience is one you will not forget -- mystical! (...and I am not Catholic.)

The UN Human Rights Council will consider Friday a resolution that seeks equal rights for everyone regardless of their sexual orientation, which could mark "historic" progress for gay rights if adopted.
A draft of the resolution "affirms that all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights and that everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms ... without distinction of any kind."
It also commissions a study on discriminatory laws and violence against individuals based on their sexual orientation and gender identity.
"The adoption of the resolution will be historic as the first UN resolution devoted to addressing human rights violations based on sexual orientation and gender identity," said Peter Splinter, Amnesty International's representative at the UN.
"It will be very significant to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals in their struggle towards the full enjoyment of their human rights that such violations of their human rights are recognised at this high level," he added.
Homosexuality is still illegal in 76 countries, according to Amnesty International.

Recently, the US Fish and Wildlife Assc. placed the polar bear on the endangered list. Problem is, that there is absolutely no proof of them declining in their birth rate. If you can produce the proof, then post a comment. I will not find a comment, because there is no proof. Why do this? To push the global warming agenda. OOPS. I mean " climate change " agenda. Ya see, using the term global warming doesn't fly when we experienced some of the coldest years on record in the past few years.
And for those who didn't attend elementary school, " Climate change" is what killed the dinosaurs. Their time came and went. The planet moved on.
Let me tell you about endangered species, all right? Saving endangered species is just one more arrogant attempt by humans to control nature. It's arrogant meddling. It's what got us in trouble in the first place. Doesn't anybody understand that? Interfering with nature. Over 90%, way over 90% of all the species that have ever lived on this planet, ever lived, are gone. They're extinct. We didn't kill them all. They just disappeared. That's what nature does. We're so self-important, so self-important. Everybody is going to save something now. Save the trees, save the bees, save the whales, save those snails. And the greatest arrogance of all, save the planet. What?
I'm tired of these self-righteous environmentalists, these white bourgeois liberals who think the only thing wrong with this country is there aren't enough bicycle paths, people trying to make the world safe for their Volvos.
There is nothing wrong with the planet.
Nothing wrong with the planet.
The planet is fine.
The people are f**ked up.
The planet is fine.
Compared to the people, the planet is doing great. It's been here four and a half billion years. Did you ever think about the arithmetic? The planet has been here four and a half billion years. We've only been engaged in heavy industry for a little more than 200 years.
Two hundred years versus four and a half billion, and we have the conceit to think that somehow we're a threat, that somehow we're going to put in jeopardy this beautiful little blue-green ball that's just a-floatin' around the sun?
The planet has been through a lot worse than us, been through all kinds of things worse than us, been through earthquakes, volcanoes, plate tectonics, continental drift, solar flares, sunspots, magnetic storms, the magnetic reversal of the poles, hundreds of thousands of years of bombardment by comets and asteroids and meteors, worldwide floods, tidal waves, worldwide fires, erosion, cosmic rays, recurring ice ages, and we think some plastic bags and some aluminum cans are going to make a difference?
The planet isn't going anywhere.
We are! We're going away!
Your thoughts?

Livni to head new Israeli party
Former Israeli foreign minister Tzipi Livni is returning to politics forming a new party to run in January's parliamentary elections.
Ms Livni said the party, called "The Movement," would aggressively pursue peace with the Palestinians.
She criticised prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu's hard-line government for the past four years of deadlock in peace efforts.
She said she "decided to give an answer to people who don't have anyone to vote for."
Ms Livni's return adds another name to what already is a fractured centrist opposition.
She served as foreign minister and chief peace negotiator from 2006 to 2009. She left politics this year after she was ousted as leader of the Kadima Party.


text: I fired some 165 gr Gold Dot JHP through my G27 after practicing all week with my .22. I think she was jealous after being ignored all week because she kicked like a mule. Never seemed to recoil so hard before. Assuming it was 10% ammo& 90% me, I need to do something to prepare for shooting .40 after getting used to .22. Lots of shooting with the .22 has really helped in terms of grip, stance, accuracy, etc. But has temporarily (I hope) spoiled me for shooting my .40. what methods to you guys use to prepare mentally for a heavier caliber after training with a lighter one? ?

We women take special care and precaution while selecting clothes, but do we take the special care while purchasing a bra? Yup, now that's what this article is all about and these are the bra mistakes that girls make often.
The bra is one of the essential garments of our wardrobe that sticks to our body for a prolonged period of time.

Women are making a lot of mistakes from purchasing a wrong kind of bra to keeping it properly in the wardrobe, everything seems to be so difficult for us.
However, wearing a well-fitted bra is just not enough; you should also take essential steps to avoid these mistakes while wearing a bra. Check more on the bra mistakes that girls should avoid making RIGHT NOW!
Choosing A Bra
Most of the women choose a bra with the help of its cup size, which is actually wrong. You should choose a bra according to the numerical brand size because cup sizes are directly related to the brand size. Cup size is not an accurate size because sometimes you may need a D cup size of a particular brand, while you may need an E cup size of the other type of brand.
Wearing a Bra That Is Too Small
Many women think wearing a small bra can help to suppress their breasts and make them look good, but the fact is wearing a small bra can actually lead to sagging of the breasts and also disturb the shape of the breasts.
Improper Fabric
You may think laces, satins, and synthetic bra materials may look sexy; but the fact is, these bras are good to be worn for a one-night party only and not on a regular basis. For regular basis, you should choose a bra that has an easy-to-go fabric and the one that allows your skin to breathe freely. A cotton bra is just made for this purpose, as they are easy on the skin and also allow the skin to breathe freely. These days, there are more prints and colours introduced in the cotton variety.
Using An Old Bra
Hanging on with an old bra can be one of the biggest mistakes that might affect your body tremendously. No matter if you have a favourite piece of the bra, but it is very crucial to throw away your old bras and buy new ones. The old bra does not give you proper attachments and fitting; instead buy a new piece, so that it can hold your breasts at the right position.
Seek Advice
There is an attendant who helps you while choosing the right size of bra. Avoiding the advice can be one among the common mistakes, as there are chances that you miss an important piece of knowledge. Accept the fact that the attendant is there to help you and she has much more information than you, and hence it is always good to listen to her advice.
Wearing Bra Two Days In A Row
There are many girls who wear their bra two days in a row, which should be avoided. Allow the bra to rest for a day, as it helps to regain the lost elasticity. Another important thing to remember while washing a bra is to wash it in cold water, as it helps to keep the elastic fresh and tight.
Inappropriate Bra Setting
Women just do not want to accept the fact that a particular bra size does not, or is not going to, fit them. They are ashamed and feel awkward to speak openly about their bra size. If you are not sure about the size, ask the attendant to measure the size using a measuring tape.

French politician demands Britain pays towards cleaning up Marseille
A FRENCH politician has demanded that Britain pays towards the costs of cleaning up Marseille's streets.
"What has happened with the English fans is unbearable and extremely shocking"Mennucci
Patrick Mennucci condemned the fighting across the city, which was capped off when Russian fans donned balaclavas before charging at England supporters inside the Stade Velodrome following their 1-1 draw.
Mennucci said: "What has happened with the English fans is unbearable and extremely shocking.
"The people of Marseille have really despaired about this unacceptable behaviour."
His comments came despite widespread reports that some of the violence was caused by Russian hooligans and local youths.
Mennucci, 61, said the police chief has "done what he can" and that that alcohol sales in the Vieux Port area could have been banned.
He was furious that "no British officials, either the ambassador in Paris or his general consul in Marseille, has offered an apology to the population, or come to the area to calm down their citizens".
Mennucci added: "I hope at least that when the bill for the damage has been completed, their country will contribute to the cost because it should not be the people of Marseille who have to put their hand in their pocket."
The build-up England's Group B clash with Russia was overshadowed by three days of violence in the French port city, with police using tear gas and water cannon.
And further fighting broke out moments after full-time, with Russian 'ultras' charging into the England section and kicking and punching fans.
A Three Lions supporter in a wheelchair was among those attacked, while women and children were trampled as they tried to climb fences to flee.
Governing body Uefa has launched an investigation into the ugly scenes.

Stress in dogs:
We often recognize stress related behaviour in members of our own species but do we recognize stress related behavior in dogs? Once we learn to recognize indicators of stress in dogs, we can help a stressed dog.
Dogs can feel stressed by a variety of things. Stressors can include threatening or aggressive behavior (perceived or real) from other dogs or from people, use of punishing equipment, play periods that are too long and overwhelming, or too much or too little activity day after day.
Stress can also be caused by pain or illness, hunger or thirst, or nutritional deficiencies.
Research reveals three categories of abnormal behaviours in dogs that can be caused by stress: (1) displacement activities such as licking, grooming and pica ("pica" refers to the eating of substances that have no nutritional value) ), (2) stereotypical activities like excessive licking, flank sucking, circling or whirling, tail chasing, fence-line running, excessive barking, polydipsia (an abnormal increase in thirst) and polyphagia (an abnormal increase in appetite) and (3) behaviours like staring and 'fly chasing' referred to as "hallucinatory" behaviors (Casey, et al. 2002).
A stressed dog may have changes in appearance. A recent study indicated that premature greying in dogs under four years of age may be an indicator of anxiety, fear or impulsivity ("impulsivity" was defined as the loss of focus, an inability to calm his or herself, jumping on people, and hyperactivity after exercise). Analysis showed that muzzle greyness was significantly predicted by fears of loud noises, of unfamiliar animals, and of unfamiliar people. (King, et al. 2016).
Physiological indicators of stress can be identified through the measuring of the of heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, body temperature and through evaluations of immune status and disease incidence. Measuring hormone secretion is also used in assessing stress (Bodnariu 2008).
The urinary, gastrointestinal, reproductive, and immune systems have been shown to be susceptible to developing disease as a result of stress (Mills , Karagiannis and Zulch 2014).
For dogs who are experiencing chronic stress from kennelling, research has shown that even one night away from the kennel situation results in a reduction in cortisol in dogs. Cortisol is a diurnal hormone that is a measure of stress. In a study done at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Utah, researchers measured cortisol levels in the dogs who lived there and who were participating in the "sleepover program" where visitors can take a dog for the night to their hotel. They found the cortisol levels in the dog dropped significantly when the dog participated in the sleepover program (Seckel 2017) . In another study, half of the dogs adopted from shelters displayed symptoms of various illnesses such as diarrhoea, vomiting, coughing, sneezing and skin problems. It was suggested that these conditions may be due to the immunosuppression caused by the previous stress of kennelling (Bodnariu 2008).
Being left on their own is stressful for many dogs as they are social animals. Studies have shown that at 5 weeks of age, dogs experience an elevation in cortisol after separation (Nagasawa, et al. 2014). Dogs who have separation-related problems may show it through destruction of property, excessive vocalization and house-soiling. A study on treatment for separation-related behavior revealed that dogs treated with systematic desensitization had significant reductions in the frequency and intensity of the separation-related behaviors and that, three months after the treatment ended, most of the dogs showed almost complete elimination of the problem behaviour (Butler, Sargisson and Elliffe 2011).
Certain training methods can elicit stress signals in dogs. The results of a study comparing the behavior observed in dogs participating in training classes at two training schools that used two different types of training methods results suggested that training methods based on positive reinforcement are less stressful for dogs. One school used positive reinforcement (where a food reward was given) in training while the other school used negative reinforcement (where an aversive disappeared when the dog complied). The dogs who attended the classes at the school using negative reinforcement displayed lowered body postures and displayed other signals of stress while the dogs who were trained with the positive reinforcement showed increased attentiveness toward their owners. (Deldalle and Gaunet 2014).
Recognizing the indicators of stress in dogs helps us make changes to reduce stress and anxiety in dogs.

Democratic deficit. Falling voting rates. Apathy. We think this is solely about our first-past-the-post system and the concentration of power into the Prime Minister's Office away from Parliament. But there's another source: the media.
Last Fall, here in Toronto, the media used polls to whittle the field of mayoralty candidates down to their chosen one plus one. They lost. But so did we because we were deprived of our original choices through media machinations. By voting day, the candidates we liked were gone.
In a Federal election the leaders and parties are well established and so the big boys can't make em bow out of the race, but they can work to help the Liberals and Conservatives create the idea that there are only two choices. They can make it seem that we are no different than the Americans in having only two credible parties, even though in Canada we have a diverse choice of four national parties that reflects all of us. They can keep us uninformed, for most won't work to inform themselves through independent research.
Their first big salvo in this mission is to shut out Green Party leader Elizabeth May from the televised leader debates. Their reasoning -- she doesn't have a sitting MP -- dismisses the one million Canadians who voted for her, dismisses the fact that she leads a credible, national party, and ignores the fact that if we had a different voting system, the Green Party would have a sitting MP. More than one actually.
But May was awfully effective and informed in the last debate. She made the men look like the sound-bite machines that they had become. She challenged them directly. She knew the issues cold. And if there's one thing a person seeking power can't stand is someone showing them up, especially if it's a woman.
Visually her presence around a table of men with a male moderator, highlights much more obviously how few women leaders we have -- never mind leaders, how few MPs! -- in comparison to, say, those backward third world countries we're busy helping with aid.
The broadcast consortium (doesn't that sound like fat-cat big boys chomping cigars, swilling Scotch, manipulating people and goods from their luxe secret location?) decided to exclude May not for the stated reasons, but for keeping the choices in front of Canadians as small as possible. Like the Liberals and Conservatives, they want their chosen party to win a majority. To do that, they have to manipulate Canadians into thinking there are really only two choices. There are a few ways to do that other than keeping information on the Green Party's campaign on the back pages: boost the idea of strategic voting (as if it works), the idea that a vote for the NDP or Green is a vote for the boogie man, and most of all present visually a small slate on TV -- not the full one.
I spoke to someone the other day. He opined what he'd like to see in a party. I said that's the Green Party you've described. The what? he asked. He'd never heard of it (that boggled my mind, for he was an educated man), and if the mainstream media have their way, he never will.

Brandon Morrow: 10 Signs the Blue Jays Ace Is Finally Ready to Become DominantApril 16, 2012
Brandon Morrow: 10 Signs the Blue Jays Ace Is Finally Ready to Become Dominant
Brandon Morrow is primed for a big year with the Toronto Blue Jays. Morrow had an excellent spring where he showed off different pitches and a new motivation to help the Blue Jays win.
Everyone in the organization and fans alike expect Morrow to make great strides this season and become much more than a strikeout pitcher.
Morrow led the American League last season with 10.19 strikeouts per nine innings (K/9) among starters, but his ERA of 4.72 was average at best.
Morrow has worked hard this offseason and spring to show that he can be a consistent No. 2 starter for the Blue Jays and one of the anchors of the rotation.
Here are 10 reasons why Morrow looks like he is ready to become a dominant pitcher.
Great Spring Training
Morrow began this spring showing excellent improvements over last season. Although you should analyze statistics in the spring with a grain of salt, they were still excellent.
In 17 and one-third innings in the spring, Morrow gave up one earned run (a home run) and only walked three batters. He also posted a 0.75 WHIP that also showed improvement.
Morrow has always been hampered by the base on balls.
In his first year as a starter he averaged 4.06 BB/9 and last year it declined to 3.46. Even with his high strikeout numbers, a K/BB ratio of under 3.00 is not the sign of a great consistent pitcher (e.g. Roy Halladay's K/BB: 6.29).
As the spring numbers have shown (three BB in 17-plus innings) he is really looking to improve his control. The Blue Jays organization expects his BB/9 to continue to decline. As he said in an interview: "My ability to keep it in the strike zone is a lot better."
Although he walked three in his first start, it was only coupled with one hit, thus keeping his WHIP low (0.57).
Throughout Morrow's first five years in the majors, he has been asked to be a reliever, closer and starter.
Now after two full seasons as a Blue Jays starter, he understands what it takes to become a starter and has much more experience.
He is still a fairly new/young starting pitcher with lots to learn. With more experience of pitching two full seasons as a starter for the same club, it would only improve his statistics and success.
With two full seasons in the AL East he has a better understanding of the ballparks and the players in New York, Boston, Tampa Bay and Baltimore.
Starting his third season as a member of the rotation with the Blue Jays, there is an element of consistency that breeds success.
He has built a close connection with his pitching coach, fellow starter Ricky Romero and many other teammates and coaches alike.
This element of being comfortable in the organization (he also signed a three-year extension in the offseason) and knowing his job is secure allows him to focus on improving his mechanics and be every comfortable with his surroundings.
It is tough for a young pitcher to come to a new team and asked to change roles. Now that his role is defined and he is in his third year in this role, his comfort level will definitely help his consistency.
Breakout Age/Maturity
Morrow is currently 27 years old, which is often known as the breakout age for many baseball players.
Although this is usually attributed to positional players, Morrow's time with the club, the fact that he is looked to as one of the older starters on the team, and his comfort with his pitches show that he is ready to breakout.
He turns 28 in July and I believe he has enough maturity to make some real strides this season. He understands that winning is the ultimate goal, saying: "I'm there to be a 1-2 to Ricky's 1 and we're out to win a lot of ball games."
Changing Speeds
Morrow has worked hard this offseason and spring to change speeds, so now not all of his pitches are near the same speed. He said: "It's a lot harder to stay on pitches when you gotta look between 78 and 95 miles an hour, instead of, like, 87 to 95 miles an hour,"
He has worked on mastering his changeup (one of Romero's go-to pitches) and working on other off-speed pitches.
Morrow has focused on keeping the batter off balanced with many different pitches while having the confidence to throw them in key situations. This will actually help the efficacy of his fastball as the batter won't key on the heater.
One of the problems with many fireball pitchers is their overreliance on their fastball. They have become accustomed to throwing it by batters when in trouble. MLB batters prepare for this and will hit the ball a long way (hence Morrow's 21 HR allowed in 2011).
Morrow will now even change the speed on his fastball to make the batters a little less comfortable at the plate. Coupled with his revamped changeup, his more focused and controlled fastball will help him not rely on blowing batters away with his fiery fastball at all times.
Less reliance on his fastball will also help decrease his pitches per inning.
Strategy on the Mound
Morrow averaged fewer than six innings per start last season. In many cases this was due to the fact that he averaged 17.35 pitches per inning, second highest in the majors.
A better strategy on the mound that incorporates more pitches and actually allows the opposition to put the ball in play will help him get deeper into games and thus become a more successful pitcher.
During the spring and in his first start he has averaged less than 17 pitches per inning. He said: "That comes with changing speeds, getting guys out in front, more contact. I plan to continue to use that and hopefully get some quicker innings, quicker outs."
His new strategy will definitely help him improve and he feels confident about it, saying: "I've been feeling really good about it. I think I've been doing a great job of changing speeds and throwing those pitches you know in fastball counts 2-1, 3-1 and getting some ground balls on it. Behind in the count and throwing that change-up and it's a great equalizer."
He didn't show this full arsenal on Friday and he gave up the long ball.
Confidence breeds success, and success breeds confidence. With a team that is expected to compete for a playoff spot and be a very strong offensive team, Morrow does not have to pitch shutouts game in and game out.
Sure it can be argued that this was the case last season, but with a revamped bullpen and an emphasis on team defence, his win total will definitively improve from 11 last season.
Moreover, as he achieves some success with his new changeup and off-speed pitches, it will only improve his overall effectiveness on the mound.
Stronger Team Defence
The Blue Jays have focused on a stronger team defence this offseason.
The additions of Brett Lawrie at 3B (who has been exceptional in the early goings this season) and Colby Rasmus in centre field have definitely improved the overall team defence.
The rest of the infield has also shown great improvements and with Jose Bautista's arm in right field, many runners won't test their luck.
Having a strong defence working for you and helping you out pumps up the pitcher and only increases their confidence.
As Morrow works to pitch more to contact this season, having this strong defence behind him will only increase his willingness to let his teammates make plays.
Thanks for reading.

A Tennessee couple was devastated when a pet-sitting company told them that their dog died while they were away on vacation. They later found the supposedly dead pup at an animal shelter and are demanding answers from the company.
Deidre Cole and her husband got the worst news any pet owner could ever receive when they were told that their beloved dog named Fawn had died.
Fawn was placed under the care of Best Friends Critter Sitter while the couple went on vacation. When they came back, the owner told them, "You know, I'm so sorry, but Fawn died," Life With Dogs reported.
The Coles were told that Fawn died peacefully in her sleep, and that she was buried at the boarding facility. They mourned the loss of their beloved dog, but soon began looking for another pet.
While searching online, Mr Cole found a dog with an uncanny resemblance to Fawn at the Putnam County Shelters. The dog was reportedly recovering from a broken leg and was to be put up for adoption as soon as it fully recovered.
The couple set up an appointment to see the dog for adoption. When they arrived, there was no question about it: the dog with the broken leg was Fawn.
Now the Coles are asking the pet boarding company to come clean about what really happened to their dog. Mrs Cole says they don't plan on suing the company -- they just want to know the truth.
"Tell me the truth and apologize, that's all I'm asking," she said to WSMV-TV. "I don't want to sue her. I don't want money."
The couple believe that Fawn was probably injured by another dog in the boarder's care. They believe the company then attempted a cover-up to avoid liability.
The Coles have decided to microchip Fawn in light of the incident.
Best Friends Critter Sitter has yet to make a public statement on the matter and no legal action has been taken at this time.

The death of a Villanova student in August was the result of acute alcohol poisoning, according to the Delaware County Medical Examiner's Office.
The office released the finding Sunday after reviewing an autopsy and toxicology test.
A friend found Kinara Patel, 18, unresponsive in a dorm room in Sullivan Hall the morning of August 28 and called 911. At the time, investigators said they had no immediate cause of death, but they did not suspect foul play.
An autopsy was conducted the following morning, but the medical examiner's office awaited toxicology results before issuing an official cause.
Patel was formerly a student at the prestigious Bergen County Academies in Hackensack, N.J. Those in her hometown of Bergenfield were devastated by the news of her death. She had just started her sophomore year at Villanova's School of Business.
Patel spent the night before her death hanging out with friends, police said. They said there were "indications" she had been drinking that night.

Ms. EDDIE BERNICE JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I oppose H.R. 933, which appropriates money for the Department of Defense and the Department of Veterans Affairs, and funds the rest of the government until the end of the Fiscal Year 2013. This bill maintains the across the board sequestration cuts that took effect last Friday. Democratic Members of Congress have repeatedly called for a common sense, bipartisan solution to avoid the sequester, and have been met by nothing but inaction by our colleagues in the majority.
These indiscriminate cuts will seriously jeopardize the economic stability of this country. While our economy is still recovering from the worst recession since the Great Depression, sequestration will have the effect of slowing the recovery and costing 750,000 jobs.
While the worst consequences of the sequester have not yet been realized, the wheels have now been set in motion. We are on a course that will have real impacts for millions of Americans. Furlough notices are going out to thousands of federal employees and contractors, and many services will begin to slow.
Programs and services that millions of Americans rely on like Head Start, nutrition programs like WIC, and even the Federal Emergency Management Agency will be crippled by these cuts in funding. The critical support that our communities depend upon--the law enforcement officers who protect us, the air traffic controllers who keep our skies safe, FDA food inspectors, and the CDC's funding for disease prevention--all of it is being slashed.
Mr. Speaker, in short the Republicans are putting the ability of our government to function at risk, and they are jeopardizing the safety and security of millions of families across this country.

"This judicious and perceptive book will be read not only by academics but by serious readers interested in sexuality, culture, and public policy. Irvine explores the clash between professional sex education advocates and politicized Christian evangelicals that has played out on the stage of local communities and school systems since the 1960s. She illuminates a significant yet largely unknown story of the politics of sexuality."Kathy Peiss, author of Hope in a Jar: The Making of America's Beauty Culture
"Irvine's work is a serious and passionate study; it is respectful of its subject while at the same time retaining its critical edge and its political principles."Margaret Hunt, author of The Middling Sort: Commerce, Gender and the Family in England 1680-1780
"Irvine has written an unusually rich social history that makes a significant contribution to several fields of scholarly inquiry. Her book provides by far the best account we have of SIECUS (Mary Calderone's pioneering organization). It also provides an innovative analysis of the rise of the Christian Right in the '70s and a highly imaginative narrative of the 'sexualization' of Christian evangelicalism and its successful manipulation of collective emotions for political ends."Martin Duberman, editor of Beyond Gay or Straight: Understanding Sexual Orientation
"One comes away from reading this book with renewed appreciation for the creative potential of words and symbols in framing how we think about something so ordinary, if I may say so, as sex!"Wade Clark Roof, author of Spiritual Marketplace: Baby Boomers and the Remaking of American Religion
"While there are books that are central in this area, none covers the sex education debates or accomplishes the theoretical moves undertaken here."Cindy Patton, author of Globalizing AIDS

Check out the video below, which discusses the challenges attorneys of color have faced-and the changes they have incited-since the state's first African American lawyer in 1885.

Anyone know if underage people can get in tonight?
Pep rallys in other cities have been family friendly, but I can't really answer for this one.
Underage people are welcome. Kids 18 and under get in free with an adult & ISU students get in free with an ID according to the Alumni Assoc. website. Rawhide is a very family friendly place with some fun activities for kids. I'm taking my soon-to-be 4 year old tonight & she'll probably have a blast riding the train & burros.
Is Rawhide where is the rally is?
Yes. Here's a link to more info...
Iowa State University Alumni Association - 2009 Insight Bowl
Rawhide? I remember going there in 95-96 when our high school band was featured in the Fiesta Bowl. That place was such a boring dump. Of course that was 14 years ago, and we were all 14-18 year olds. Maybe it's better now and better when over the drinking age.

The Allocation of the US Federal Budget to the States: Evidence on the Power of the Purse
This paper provides new evidence on the determinants of the allocation of the US federal budget to the states. We find that the president has a strong influence on the budget allocation, while support for theories that give prominence to the Congress is rather weak. Membership of prestige committees is not used to divert federal spending nor does membership of the Armed Services committee affects defense spending. The presidential race matters. States that are historically volatile or extremely safe in presidential elections tend to receive more funds, while marginal states are not rewarded. Finally, we find good evidence in support of partisan theories. states whose governor has the same political affiliation of the president receive more federal funds, while states opposing the president's party in Congressional elections are penalized.

Discussion in 'General Questions' started by canalcat, Dec 5, 2015.
How do I improve my coaster brakes short of disk install?
If you do not have front breaks, you should at least but on rim breaks . I know some bikes are not setup for them. But you need some kind of breaks up front. That is where 70% of your breaking power comes from. Hope this helps you . Keep looking up! Ken.
even a $5 set of front brakes off ebay will be a massive improvement
It also wouldn't hurt to take that coaster brake apart, get yourself familiar with the parts inside and how they go together plus clean and grease them.
If you need new parts for it, then you can get a Shimano CB-E110 hub, or just a repair kit, from guys like this very inexpensively:
The rim brakes the guys above mentioned are very nearly a must. But you could also consider getting a front wheel with a drum brake. They're not all that cheap. Figure on $125 or so.
But having good wheels on an MB is highly desirable. And getting away from rim brakes has advantages.

INDIANAPOLIS – The Rocket Man got his fuel back.
Ryan Newman snatched the pole from Jimmie Johnson with a blistering lap of 187.531 mph around Indianapolis Motor Speedway to set a track record for NASCAR races at the Brickyard.
Newman was the last of 45 drivers to make a qualifying attempt Saturday as Johnson's No. 48 was atop the scoring tower for more than an hour with a lap of 187.438. Driver after driver had failed to knock Johnson from the pole for Sunday's NASCAR Sprint Cup Series event, and Indiana native Newman finally pulled it off.
Team co-owner Tony Stewart said, "They don't call him 'Rocket Man' for no reason. He had an awesome lap."

It is the 50th career pole for Newman, but his previous one was late in the 2011 season.
"I just am ecstatic," Newman said. "It's awesome because it's my 50th. It's awesome because it's Indy, and it's a track record on top of that, so it's like a double-triple bonus."
Kasey Kahne of Enumclaw will start in seventh and Greg Biffle of Vancouver, Wash., will start 27th.
• Kyle Busch dominated to win the Indiana 250 NASCAR Nationwide Series race.
Busch had the fastest car to win for the eighth time in 15 races. He led 92 of 100 laps but had a late scare after he fell back to third on the final restart.
Kahne finished 26th of 40.


text: Because we are on deck 10 of the Dream and sailing on February 27th to the Bahamas. The thing that worries me is I keep reading that upper decks have more motion and the other piece of the puzzle is we are in rooms 10532 which is about 25-30 rooms from the front of the boat. Disney considers it mid ship but I would say is there are 100 rooms from front to back we are in room 25 from the front. Anyone have experience on the bahama trips in February and how was the water? In addition anyone have experience in the section of the ship?

Edward writes: Today's ride leader was Adrian, who led what turned out to be a very successful day out, and despite the afternoon rain. Eleven of us assembled in Haslingfield under overcast skies, all of us aware of the weather forecast for rain in the afternoon.
Adrian led us up Chapel Hill into Barrington. Although a tough start, this was worth it for the views over the village and neighbouring countryside. We went through the village and on to Shepreth and Meldreth where we turned to go up to Kneesworth and Basingbourn. The wind was kind to us: although for the most part we were face wind, it was never a significant issue. Our next village was Littlington where we turned left and headed towards the railway which runs alongside with the A505. We crossed the A505 and then turned for the climb up to Therfield, cutting through the golf course.
Towards Therfield
After Therfield it was a further climb up to Reed where we stopped for coffee at the Silver Ball where we were joined by Doug, thus bringing our numbers up to twelve.
Just before Reed
After coffee our numbers dropped considerably as five riders left us to return home, maybe not wanting to ride in the predicted rain. The remaining seven followed Adrian down into Barkway which was still patriotically decked out with union jacks. After Barkway we took the Nuthamstead road for a short while but turned towards Anstey and then doubled back to cross over the B1368 to go through Wyddial and then on to Buntingford, also still well decked out with union flags.
We rode along Buntingford High Street and then took the road under the A10 which led us to Aspenden.
We continued through Westmill and Nasty. The final few miles before our lunch stop were under increasingly threatening skies, but fortunately we arrived in at at the Rest and Welcome pub in Haultwick before any rain arrived. This pub doesn't do lunches but the landlord was happy for us to eat our sandwiches in the bar.
After a relatively short lunch break we left Haultwick at 1.15pm but now the rain had started, albeit at this stage only a light drizzle - just a foretaste of the steady rain which was the main feature of the trip home. Soon after leaving the pub we said goodbye to Doug and this left the intrepid six to plough the way homeward through the rain. Luckily for us the wind was on our backs which helped us make good progress and the rain didn't feel all that bad.
We made our way through quiet country lanes to Little Hadham where we crossed the A120 after the usual interminable wait at the traffic lights - at least there is a warning sign, telling road users to expect a long wait.
Little Hadham
We stuck to our task in the heavy rain with Rupert leading the way in splendid isolation followed by the remaining five. We eventually got to the Pelhams and Langley Lower Green.
Langley Upper Green
We rode on to Duddenhoe End and the last climb of the day up to Chrisall. From this high point in Cambridgeshire it was all down hill to Chrishall Grange, Duxford and then into Shelford where we considered the ride at an end. Many thanks to Adrian for a splendid ride, some of it new to all of us at some point. Despite the rain everybody enjoyed the ride and we covered 65 miles. Edward Elmer
