Featured review from Goldstar Member
view more less of this reviewWent to see The Avengers in 3D at El Capitan Theater. The tickets wre purchased through Goldstar for $12 each not including the online fee. The movie is awesome. Action and very funny.
My boyfriend and I parked across the street from El Capitan for $10. Keep in mind if one entrance to the parking lor is closed there might be another entrance to the same parking lot right around the block.
We arrived one hour early. First thing I did was go to the box office located right in fron the entrance of El Capitan, and traded in my goldstar voucher for the tickets. Went to stand in the general admission line which was quiet long when I arrived. While in line someone from El Capitan came along and teared our ticket stubs and gave us a comic book, which was given to everyone who had a paid ticket to the 4am showing only.
Then when entering they checked to make sure we had our tickets. My boyfriend and I walked into the right side of the theater and found seats immediately. We sat 4 seats away from the VIP section, and 5 rows up from the screen. There were plenty of empty seats in front of us and some behind us.
We left a sweater to save our seats while we went to the restroom before the movie started. The restrooms were located downstairs. It was downstrairs where we discovered a showcase of original Costumes used in the movie, the Silver Surfer statute as well as Iron Man, and Marvel Action Figures. I'm sure the displayss change according to the movies shown.
Overall, I had an awesome experience I would definitely watch another movie at El Capitan as long as I know it's of interest to me.

Residents living on Kentucky street were fast asleep when the gunshots rang out just before midnight on Monday.
WTRF.com is now learning a total of 4 houses were hit.
One man stepped outside to see what remained of his glass door, scattered across his porch.
Detective Gregg McKenzie of the Wheeling Police Department says they have six or seven people of interest and at this time and their goal is narrow that list down.
"We've received valuable information from folks living in the area. At this time we're following up on everything they told us," McKenzie added.
Investigators also found several shell casings at this scene.
"We don't think anyone on this street was a specific target," said McKenzie.
Some of those living on Kentucky Street told WTRF.com they were concerned after hearing gang members from Steubenville may be involved and were now setting up shop on parts of the Island.
Detective McKenzie confirmed that is not the case, and in fact officers have no reports of any gang involvement so far.
If you have any information that could help with this investigation you can call the Wheeling Police Department or our Crimefighters Tipline at 1-800-223-0312.

MONDAY, Aug. 17 (HealthDay News) -- Levels of sex steroids such as estradiol and testosterone affect the risk of fractures in elderly men, according to a study published online July 7 in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism.
Erin S. LeBlanc, M.D., from Oregon Health & Science University in Portland, and colleagues examined the association between fracture risk and sex steroid levels in 1,738 elderly men plus 342 elderly men who experienced a non-vertebral fracture.
The researchers found that the risk of non-vertebral fractures was highest in men in the lowest quartile of bioavailable estradiol (bioE2, adjusted hazard ratio, 1.5) or highest quartile of sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG, adjusted hazard ratio, 1.4). There was no increased risk in men in the lowest quartile of bioavailable testosterone (bioT) after adjusting for bioE2. In men with high SHBG, low bioT was associated with a higher fracture risk (adjusted hazard ratio, 2.1). The highest risk was in men with low bioE2, low bioT, and high SHBG (adjusted hazard ratio, 3.4).
"Our results suggest that bioavailable sex steroid and SHBG measurements may be useful in the clinical assessment of fracture risk in older men, and that the physiological implications of hypogonadism should be considered in light of possible interactions among sex steroids and SHBG," LeBlanc and colleagues conclude.
Merck and Co., Eli Lilly, and Amgen provided support for the study, and one co-author reported financial ties to these companies.

"A holistic Approach To Health and Wellness"
Call Now To Schedule: (303) 722-1104
"Chiropractic for my child? Why?
He doesn't have back or neck pain."
If you are wondering about the answer to this question, you'll want to read on. As chiropractors, we often encounter parents who understand the importance of regular exams for their child's eyes, ears, nose, throat, hearing, and teeth, but who overlook routine spinal check-ups. In fact, they could be the most important check-ups your child will ever receive.
As a concerned parent, you want the best for your child and no doubt wonder if your child is as healthy as he or she could be. Several factors impact your child's overall health. These include: diet, exercise, proper rest, emotional and spiritual support, and a properly functioning nervous system.
A major component of health is the communication between your child's brain and body. This vital link controls the growth, repair, and function of every tissue and organ. The spinal cord sends messages from the brain "throughout the body via billions of nerves. Interference (nerve pressure or irritation) places the body in a state of disharmony. This can lead to decreased immune function and sickness.
Starting with the birthing process itself, our bodies are subjected to many spinal traumas. Even the most "natural" of births can cause stress and strain to the tiny developing spine. This initial damage can be compounded when the infant is developing proper head support and is learning to sit up, crawl, and walk. During this time of rapid spinal growth, these tiny bumps and falls can be the cause of many unexplained health problems.
The home is the primary site where the young child receives spinal injuries. A study, conducted by the National Safety Council, discovered- that nearly 50% of children fall headfirst from a high place (changing table, bed, etc.) during their first year of life. Many of these falls go undetected.
Unfortunately, although immediate symptoms may not be apparent, spinal health can be compromised.
Ear infections, asthma, colic, ADD/hyperactivity, bedwetting, learning disorders, and other health problems may actually be the result of nervous system interference called vertebral subluxation complex. Doctors of Chiropractic are the only health care professionals trained in the detection and correction of this problem. Children should have regular wellness visits to their Doctor of Chiropractic. Appropriate chiropractic care can locate and correct these spinal problems, restoring normal spinal and nervous system function.
Today, many progressive parents are choosing conservative chiropractic care to help maximize their child's own natural defenses. Parents of children who receive regular chiropractic care often report that their kids seem healthier than other children and that they get fewer colds and other childhood diseases. Without a properly functioning spine and nervous system, true health is impossible to achieve. Maintaining your child's spinal health is one of the greatest gifts you can today are choosing to receive periodic chiropractic spinal check-ups. The chiropractic approach to health is safe and natural. Therefore, your chiropractor may be the best doctor to help your child!
Parents should feel encouraged to have a Doctor of Chiropractic as part of their health professional network. Contact a Chiropractor who specializes in pediatrics and Family Care. Act today for a healthier life tomorrow!

Early College High School Prepares Students for Success
Heather Zavadsky
Ensuring that students are well-prepared for life after high school—whether in two- or four-year institutions or skilled occupations—requires more than just helping them fill out applications and take advanced courses. By doing the following, schools can help students build a set of skills, expectations, and beliefs that can put them on a strong postsecondary pathway:
These four postsecondary readiness components succeed best when K–12 districts, higher-education institutions, and industries work closely together to ensure that efforts articulate seamlessly for students from kindergarten through postsecondary experiences. Educate Texas (formerly known as the Texas High School Project) is a public-private partnership with the mission "to significantly improve the postsecondary readiness of low-income students with a focus on students in low-performing schools." By leveraging powerful partnerships with foundations, state agencies, and K–16 educators who support its goals, the partnership's team of experienced educators and policy experts has led innovative and high-quality instructional programming in some of the nation's most challenged districts.
Focusing on the Future Now
Among the programs Educate Texas supports to prepare and motivate more diverse students to consider college is the Early College High School Initiative, which allows students to earn college credits in high school. According to the district website, Hidalgo Independent School District (Hidalgo ISD) in the Rio Grande Valley border area of Texas serves more than 3,500 students, 98 percent of whom are Hispanic, with 91 percent considered economically disadvantaged. Over the past few years, the district has gained national recognition for its academic accomplishments, its ability to keep students in school, and its focus on college and skilled-career preparation. Hidalgo is one of the nation's first early college districts, meaning college preparation is a function of the entire K–12 program. To fulfill the district's mission of building lifelong learners and productive citizens, Hidalgo ISD partners with the University of Texas-Pan American, South Texas College, and Texas State Technical College to connect students to college and career and technical education.
The early college high school model blends high school and college into one coherent program that allows students to earn up to two years of college credit while they earn a high school diploma. Hidalgo ISD students sample different career options in middle school and select their career pathway upon entrance into high school. Sample career pathways include business and management administration, finance, information technology, health sciences, human services, protective services, and engineering, which are selected to match crucial industry shortages in the Hidalgo community, such as the need for bilingual nurses. Hidalgo ISD's program aims to meet the four essential postsecondary preparation components by using a variety of strategies. According to National Student Clearinghouse data, 52 percent of the Hidalgo ISD 2010 graduating class enrolled in college in the immediate fall semester. Of the 100 enrolled in college, 98 were attending a four-year college and 2 attending a two-year college.
Increasing Academic Rigor
Hidalgo ISD helps teachers increase instructional rigor and connect lessons to career pathways in practical and powerful ways. Through the Academic Leadership Alliance, a partnership between business and education leaders in the Rio Grande Valley, the district provides paid internships to up to four teachers a year to take summer jobs in engineering, restaurant management, technology and engineering (with Motorola), Hidalgo city management, and various aspects of hospital operations and practices. Teachers must write at least three lessons plans related to their three- to four-week experience, which helps them better tie their instruction to real issues in the business world. After working with local police doing routine patrolling, for instance, one teacher could tell his students how important writing is in the criminal justice field because writing detailed and accurate police reports are routine tasks.
Creating a College-Going Culture
Parents are a key factor in Hidalgo's approach to cultivating a college-going culture. Given that many Hidalgo families are first-generation immigrants with little or no experience with college, they often see it as an unfamiliar or unobtainable goal. Hidalgo ISD helps parents and students understand the potential of a college education by highlighting how it can lead to higher-paying jobs and by discussing the idea of college frequently with students.
The district's numerous programs help parents better support their children in school and see college in their children's future, including parent academies that offer English language instruction, GED study sessions, and workshops on understanding student reports and data. One principal meets with parents every Thursday, takes them to a restaurant, and recruits them to get involved in school activities like the yearbook, gym, or art.
To help students internalize the idea that they are college material, the district works many different angles to help students envision and realize their postsecondary options. Anyone walking into an elementary, middle, or high school in Hidalgo sees college banners hanging everywhere. At Hidalgo Early College High School, which boasts a 98.6 high school completion rate, a publicly posted list shows the different colleges where its graduates have been accepted.
Schools invite parents to "college pep rallies," which encourage students to be excited about colleges and occur at all school levels. One elementary school's rally was even hosted by kindergarteners who each recited facts about the college their class represented: Texas A&M University. Each class in the school selects a college to study and represent over the course of the year—which includes wearing college logo–emblazoned T-shirts once a week. At the rally, parents also wore logos, and everyone viewed a video with a message from Hidalgo graduates who were currently attending Texas A&M.
Exploring Careers
Students in Hidalgo have the opportunity to start seriously exploring potential career interests in middle school. Participation in assessments and exploratory courses, for example, exposes students to careers in robotics, environmental engineering, business, and medical professions, and allows students to identify their strengths and interests. Teachers also pull from career fields to build lessons so students see the relevance of what they learn in school. For example, one teacher from the pharmacology field helped students learn important medical terms, and then tied these to the scientific method as students considered the implications of certain drugs on patients. When the teachers brought them on a field trip to a hospital, the students were excited that they understand the terms and treatments discussed by the surgeon they met, who in turn was impressed at their level of interest and knowledge.
Taking College Courses
Students in Hidalgo experience college life by taking college-credit courses directly on local college campuses. Students are taught by a college instructor and expected to attend class regularly, be punctual, complete assignments, and pay attention. A college nursing course instructor explained that she expects students to self-identify when they are ready to "test" the performance of specific hands-on nursing skills. Just like regular college students, they are not given a second chance to pass one of the tests. Setting these expectations now, the instructor noted, is important to prepare students for the realities of college.
Teachers have seen students became more invested in their education when they select a potential career. On a recent bus trip from college to school, nursing students confirmed as much, saying that the nursing program had given them a concrete goal that helped them become much more serious about their high school and college coursework.
Building Forward
Hidalgo ISD still works on systemically raising the rigor of their courses and aligning them with college and career content, but that work is well under way. Hidalgo's districtwide program shows how schools have worked to embed college and skilled career preparation into their programs. This ensures K–12 students have all the necessary skills and opportunities to see themselves in a meaningful postsecondary experience and to look forward to becoming fully contributing adult members of the community and workforce. It's crucial that districts create strong, reciprocal partnerships with local two- and four-year colleges, as well as local businesses and community leaders, to develop a seamless and well-aligned system built on shared expertise that inspires students to build their future.

In this three-part series, we look at what to consider in the early phases of a private cloud project. We already talked about virtualization and automation. But, cloud is much more than that and it's important to have a close look at self-service and chargeback too.
3. Self-service
To increase speed in IT, private clouds use self-service portals. This way, employees can request resources for the time they need.
In my experience, the self-service portal is really about three aspects:
- Users feeling at home
The first thing a user does is to authenticate with its corporate login. Thus it's important to define how your self-service portal will integrate with the corporate directory. Of course, the portal also needs to be easy to use and should be rebranded if the need arises.
- An extensible portal
Your first private cloud portal will certainly be the first building block of a global cloud portal for the whole company. It should be possible to extend it toward:
- New types of hypervisors (from KVM to z/VM)
- PaaS solutions such as IBM Workload Deployer
- Public clouds such as Amazon EC2 or IBM SmartCloud Enterprise
- Approval processes made simple enough
First, you have to define offerings and roles: what is offered to users, who can see what and who can request what.
When that is done the real work begins: you need to define approval processes. Here almost anything is possible: double validations, financial approvals, management approvals, and others. But when it comes to using a very complicated process for some simple tasks such as installing software on virtual machines, you want something simple enough and usable. Take the time to check whether your processes can be simplified for the same result.
4. Chargeback
Chargeback is key to the cloud, but depending on your priorities it can be used for various purposes:
- To enable IT to become more of a resource center than a cost center
- To encourage optimization of the IT by transferring the financial responsibility of provisioning to the self-service user
- To make easier and much more precise audits and financial analysis of the IT
The challenge when implementing chargeback is to get the usage data. After that the processing (rating and accounting) is not specific to cloud.
The first step to implement chargeback is, for each metric (CPU, RAM, disk, and so on), to decide with all the actors, from finance to IT, which data will be used and from which system:
- Is it the reservations from the self-service portal (if a user asks for 2 vCPUs will the user be billed for 2 vCPUs regardless of what his workload actually consumes)?
- Is it the usage acquired through an external metering tool?
The second step is to make sure that when you extract usage data you get enough information to know which department to charge.
The third step is to agree on the frequency the data is generated: are we counting CPUHours, CPUDays?
Eventually, after the rating and accounting are done, you should plan for an interface with your own corporate accounting system so that you can bill whoever has to be billed for the cloud services.
The last part of this series is about monitoring, compliance, backup, and security.

Unless the bees that attacked the man were killer bees, for the Archer City city manager to have ordered the bees exterminated is just plain stupid.
A better course of action would have been to call a bee keeper and had the bees removed and relocated.
Archer County relies heavily of agriculture and ranching. Does this city manager not realize that without bees there would be no agriculture. We are already experiencing a severe bee shortage in this part of the state because of last years severe draught. To order the extermination of the entire hive without first identifying the species is a knee jerk reaction that probably has more to do with the city manager's visibility in the community than to protect anyone.
I'm sorry to hear about the man being attacked, but has anyone first stopped to determine what the man was doing immediately before the attack?

IT outsourcing is one of the biggest blunders in the corporate world and I was unfortunate to have worked for one of the largest IT outsourcing companies in the world. I don't have any numbers and charts or in-depth research to show why I feel that IT outsourcing is not a good idea. What I do have is experience working on a few IT outsourcing contracts. Here are my observations. I'll use the fictitious names of MyCorp for the client and ITService for the IT outsourcing company. (more…)
Just some miscellaneous notes on grammar that I started a few years ago while finishing up my bachelor's degree. There are some conflicting rules between different groups and even within the same groups. For example, the English and Engineering departments at the same college might use different format requirements for their research papers. For my major (MIS), I was required to use APA Style.

Obama Abortion Agenda Solidifies Silent Pro-Life Majority at the Center
Reader Comments
BLAH,Blah,Say What? You either believe life exsits at conception or it doesn't. Yes, I believe that this person has a Spirit that GOD gives to each "INDIVIDUL" and that we have no right to decide Him or Hers fate.
BLAH,Blah,Say What? You either believe life exsits at conception or it doesn't. Yes, I believe that this person has a Spirit that GOD gives to each "INDIVIDUL" and that we have no right to decide Him or Hers fate.
I get amused by those who find spousal abuse, rape, the death penalty so horrible and why don't we do something about it - but are pro-choice.
Well, if a mother can kill her child in her womb up to nine months and the law allows it, why not abuse, murder, maim someone outside it? Abortion, guns, knives, etc. cause DEATH. And, abortion ALWAYS results in death!
Talk to a young child who sees her mother carrying an unborn child. If that lump disappears tomorrow and they find out why they will grow up with the sense that mommies can just get rid of their little kids if they want to. Teenagers, optional, Life, not priceless!
For those who say they are pro-choice but wouldn't choose abortion themselves: well, you are looking the other way when you could be protecting the life of an innocent. This is a human being. This will not be a dog, or a tumor, this will be a human being exactly like a child in the delivery room of a hospital. Carrying a life within you for nine months is less horrible than a "doctor" pulling bloody pieces of you out of a safe womb. At least in the first instance, you will be alive and can give the baby up to many who would love your baby. Too many need to go to other countries to adopt a child.
If you are for LIFE, you are for protecting ALL innocent life. Otherwise, you are disengenuous. You are saying one life (the woman) is more important than another (the unborn baby).
This is pretty much why the disabled get very angry at those who try to say one human is more important than another. We have forgotten the inherent dignity of ALL human beings.
If you say you "My husband and I both favor the woman's right to choose in the first trimester." You are PRO-abortion. You can't say you are anti-abortion and then turn around and say you are pro-abortion, which being "pro-choice" is. It is disingenuous, at the very least. If you consider yourself "pro-choice" then what is the choice? You want a woman to be able to kill her child in the "first trimester." That is pro-abortion. At least be honest with yourselves and us.
The child at 2 days gestation is no less human than the child at 2 trimesters, just smaller. This is science, not religion. I agree with you, remove religion from the argument - in some ways it becomes even more horrific to do this because science clearly states that the developing child is fully human at the moment of conception. See 8th circuit court ruling on South Dakota informed consent law - the government agrees with science and has affirmed the wording of this law, that there exists a "separate, unique, living, human being" at the time of conception.
So by removing religion and relying only on science, you seem to state that a woman has the right to kill the separate and unique human in her uterus based solely on that human's geographic location and smaller size. Science shows there is no difference except size and geographic location between the mother and the child - both are human beings. Yet you think the larger human should be able to kill the smaller human at will, simply because of convenience.
That makes no sense, does it?
Most people are anti-abortion - most decent ones anyway. My husband and I - if asked - would say in a survey were were anti-abortion.
BUT - ANOTHER QUESTION THAT MUST FOLLOW - we are also NOT in favor of the government prohibiting abortion. We both favor the woman's right to choose in the first trimester.
The survey had many questions, and when all assembled, showed the public is very much against legislating a ban on legal abortion.
People need to stop telling others how to live, and stop trying to impose their religious views on others. I respect differing opinions, and I think it is reasonable that people must reconsile themselves with their ownbeliefs n this one.
Stop trying to engineer a result.
stay away from my right to choose.
The Dark Side of Abortion -- many times it is not the
woman's choice to abort her child. Boy friends, parents
and even husbands pressure the woman into an abortion.
Even if a woman gives into their boy friend, 99 percent of the time he will leave her anyway. In the case of incest it is
Fix, Repair and then Use again....
All of this hell-raising could be avoided if the government could just get to work on a bio-synthetic robo-womb. Endangered fetuses could be safely transferred into the seven foot wide robo wombs where they would remain until the nine month gestation had ended.
Dear Brad of TX,
When I read your comment I immediately thought, how terribly cold this person's heart must be. How can you possibly "take heart" in the forced STOPPING of innocent hearts?..millions of innocent hearts every year!
If you were born after 1973 more than one-third of your classmates were murdered through abortion. No war, no plague, and no other injustice has shed so much blood in our history - not even the institution of slavery. Someday, (and the day will come), when abortion is outlawed and America reflects on its past, it will see abortion for what it truely is - a terrible evil, equal and on par with the evil of slavery. As Dr. Alvina King so rightly put it, "The prolife movement is the civil rights movement of our time." I think the American public is finally starting to see the light on this issue, and all it took was a socialist president making advances in what Pope John Paul II rightly called the "Culture of Death."

Elizabeth Taylor: A Tribute to Her Greatest Roles - Page 2
Susannah in Raintree County (1957): Starring Elizabeth Taylor, Montgomery Clift, and Eva Marie Saint. Cliff's character, the idealist John, has an affair with Susannah (while with Nell, played by Saint) while she is visiting Raintree County. He ends up marrying her when she reveals she is pregnant with his child. They both travel to the Antebellum South and John, an abolitionist, struggles against the lifestyle there. It is revealed that Susannah's mother was insane, and we eventually come to find that Susannah has inherited her mental illness. The story of one man finding himself in the midst of the American Civil War, this movie was based on a novel by Ross Lockridge.The movie was nominated for four Academy Awards, including Taylor's nomination for Best Actress.
Maggie the Cat in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1958): Based on the Pulitzer Prize winning play of the same name by Tennessee Williams, this film starred Taylor as Maggie the Cat, and Paul Newman, as her husband, Brick. Maggie and Brick have gone home to visit Big Daddy and celebrate his cured colon cancer. Big Daddy is a wealthy man, so you can imagine that most of the family is scrambling around to do his bidding, especially since he still has cancer, but doesn't know it. But not Brick—he won't conform to anyone or anything. Not even the desires and pleas of his wife, Maggie. Most of the movie centers on the conflicts and arguments the family has over the course of one day, and the lies they will make up to comfort one another, to avoid dealing with reality, or to fulfill whatever agenda they have. Both Taylor and Newman were nominated for Oscars for their performance.
Catherine Holly in Suddenly Last Summer (1959): Another movie based on a Tennessee Williams play. Starred Taylor, Clift, Katherine Hepburn. The aunt of an institutionalized woman tries to pursue having her niece lobotomized so that she might not be reminded of her son's death while abroad. She tries to bribe the institution with donations, and her niece's mother with an inheritance. The doctor in charge of the case feels that if the patient (played by Taylor) could only remember the circumstances of her cousin's death, she would be cured. When the horrible truth is revealed, it is the aunt's mental illness that is discovered. Like many of Tennessee Williams' plays, there are themes spilling over from his real life: homosexuality, denial, and mental illness. William's sister also underwent a lobotomy, which influenced much of his work, including this play and The Glass Menagerie. Though he was given credit, along with Gore Vidal, for adapting the play to screen, Williams was vociferous in his opposition to the final script and movie. He claimed that Taylor's fame was being exploited in order to insure success at the Box Office. Regardless of his opinions, Hepburn and Taylor were both nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress.

Sunderland defender Danny Rose has denied he is a diver after being given a yellow card in the defeat to Everton on Saturday.
The on-loan Spurs defender appeared to have been fouled when he went down under a double challenge at the weekend but referee Lee Mason decided otherwise and booked the defender when he complained. Black Cats boss Martin O'Neill was very upset by the decision in injury time at Goodison park and slammed Mason's decision as 'extraordinary' and Rose was equally adamant that the ref had made a mistake.Rose said: "You can give stick to the ref, but I thought he made some poor decisions."To get a booking for being obstructed, was comical really.""It was a really dispiriting defeat after going ahead," added Rose. "We defended great first half and the fans were turning on them."We had three or four great chances in the first half to put it to bed and not taking them cost us."You're always vulnerable after a goal's been scored.""It is the best we've played since I've been here and hopefully we can take it into next Sunday against Fulham."

A road map for Alzheimer's
Where are you right now? What city, what state? What is the year, season, month, and day? Spell world backward. Memorize the names of three unrelated objects, such as pen, apple, and chair, and when you have finished reading this column, recall them from memory.
You have just completed most of a "mini-mental" exam that clinicians and researchers have used for years to screen for Alzheimer's disease. And you can better grasp the loss that bedevils those who flunk this exam because of this cruel and most common of progressive dementias, which now threatens 1 in 10 to 20 people who live beyond age 65 and nearly half of those who reach the age of 85. As we craft our New Year's wishes for 2005, many of us would certainly want solving the Alzheimer's puzzle high on that list.
Unless one has been a caregiver or a nearby family member or friend, there is little sense of Alzheimer's human face. Alzheimer's is more than the loss of memory. It damages the body, mind, and spirit, and its toll is exacted year by year. Depression is present half the time, often with anxiety and irritability. Psychoses erupt, with paranoid delusions or hallucinations. Speech becomes impaired; eating and sleep disorders emerge. Muscles become rigid and slow; the body stoops, and the feet shuffle and grow unstable until walking is impossible. In time, patients struggle to swallow and lose bladder and bowel control. By then, perhaps blessedly, victims have lost the ability to reason or experience, to give or receive love, to have hope or faith. Weak and physically debilitated, most Alzheimer's patients slip away with pneumonia or some other fatal infection. Little wonder that this long and gruesome illness takes a heavy toll on the health of caregivers and loved ones.
The toll on our society is great as well. More than 4 million Americans have this disorder, and that number is slated to triple by midcentury. Research has taught us much since 1906, when neurologist Alois Alzheimer first described the postmortem of the brain of a demented woman who had been in his care. Under the microscope, he identified unusual clumps of protein, called amyloid plaques, and noted damaged nerve cells bearing tangled fibers. But a century later, we haven't yet figured out what causes this brain damage or whether the process can be reversed or the damage mended. We are further handicapped in patient care and research by an inability to diagnose the disease easily and with certainty during life. Add to this a muddled Alzheimer's literature, with conflicting claims about the benefits or harm of everything from estrogen to vitamin E to Celebrex to the notorious nicotine. We know that risk factors like high cholesterol, diabetes, obesity, and female gender feature in the disease but haven't figured out why. Needless to say, a near-term cure is not on the radar screen.
Here and now. What we have been able to offer Alzheimer's victims in recent years are limited forms of symptom control. There are now five Alzheimer's drugs available that beef up the brain's memory chemicals. The latest psychiatric drugs have also become a staple of Alzheimer's care. But these many treatments bring at best moderate respite. Several basic discoveries have been lauded as treatment breakthroughs, such as the ability to block enzymes that process amyloid or to stimulate the body's own cells with vaccines to vacuum it up. But none have translated into near-term treatments.
Some scientists have grown impatient with the way the government doles out its money for what should be targeted medical studies. Historically, research funded by the National Institutes of Health has been driven mostly by the curiosity of basic scientists seeking money for relatively small, free-standing grants, with little truck for the goal-oriented, big-science approach we associate with a Manhattan Project, a shot to the moon, or even the mapping of the human genome. But NIH's current leadership is working to initiate big-science "road maps" that should speed the pace of practical discovery. Let's hope a 21st-century road map for treatment and cure of Alzheimer's disease emerges soon, before too many more millions of people fail that mini-mental exam.
This story appears in the December 20, 2004 print edition of U.S. News & World Report.

It seems that there are two camps on whether or not to take single or twice daily injections of LR3 IGF-1. I think people are jumping to conclusions entirely too fast about this and that and they heard this from this guy and read this from another guy. Lets try to take a look at it scientifically and maybe, eventually, some light can get shed on the situation. Here are a few questions we can ask ourselves. We know the half life of LR3 IGF-1 is quite long, there is no disputing that. Although different people will say different numbers about IGF-1, I myself am torn as to what the true half life is as I like to go by scientific studies not gut feeling. I will, however, take blood samples 8 times today after an AM injection of 20mcg LR3 IGF-1 to see how long the effects last of the blood sugar. I am not saying that single or twice daily injections are better, I am just trying to help take a look at what we have on the table here.
1. How quickly does LR3 IGF-1 go systemic? This isn't really known but if it is anything like insulin (which it should be) then it goes systemic rather quickly. This means that injecting immediately PWO isn't going to help all that much considering it is going to be circulating through your entire body pretty quickly and won't have time to bind ONLY to the area you just worked.
2. We know lactosis causes an increase in IGF-1R's, that is proven. However, we don't know for how long. Some people seem to think that it is only for a couple hours, which to me makes no sense, or it could be the inverse and make a lot of sense, here is why.
Possibility 2a)IGF-1R's are greatly upregulated in the worked muscle and last there for several days. The reason that this currently seems like the most logical reason is the way the body produces these growth factors naturally. MGF splicing is greatly upregulated following exercise. It is well know that MGF DOES NOT act through the IGF-1R, this was proven by blocking the IGF-1R in studies using antibodies and determining whether there was still a reaction from the MGF, and there was. After 2-4 days the body begins shifting back towards IGF-1Ea splicing and less towards MGF, this would lead me to believe that the IGF-1R's couldn't have been downregulated too quickly since they need to still be there in larger numbers to complete the repairs/differentiation.
Possibility 2b)This is another way of looking at it as I like to do. Your body MIGHT produce IGF-1R's in greater numbers following a workout in a specific area since IGF-1 levels are lower and MGF levels are higher to take advantage of the smaller amounts of IGF-1 that is circulating, then it begins to slowly kill those off as IGF-1 levels rise back up. However, this does not seem logical since we are continually working our muscles and continually getting an influx of MGF and IGF-1 levels. Even if this were the case IGF-1R levels in the affected area still should be elevated quite high for at least an entire day, making injections on non workout days just fine.
This is why I don't see a reason for injecting only PWO, the simple fact that your body is constantly being worked and therefore always has a high number of IGF-1's in some area to take advantage of.

Ilam (Kurdish: Îlam, ئیلام) (Persian: ايلام; also Romanized as Īlām and Elām) is a city in and the capital of Ilam Province, Iran and the third biggest kurdish city in Iran. At the 2006 census, its population was 155,289, in 34,549 families.
The Kabir Kuh mountain range lies east of the city. From the west it borders Iraq. The city is populated by Kurds and its primary language is Kurdish.
Ilam is situated in the cold mountainous region of Iran at a height of 1,319 metres (4,330 ft) above mean sea level. It is located in the west of Iran at a latitude of 33° 38´ north and longitude of 46° 26´ east. Although this city is surrounded by mountains, its climate is also affected by deserts from the west and the south. This region presents a highly variable annual weather profile. Heavy showers or snow in the winter and dusty, brutally hot, dry weather in the summer are normal for this region. The climate is classed under the Köppen climate classification as a Mediterranean climate (Csa) but the seasonal variation in temperature is much greater than usual for this type of climate.
Like many other regions of Iran the architecture in Ilam includes traditional and contemporary periods. Although easy access to fossil fuels and electricity may have aided the transition in Iranian architecture in other regions of Iran from its traditional to modern styles, in Ilam the increasing population has also played a role.
The Governor Castle, Falahaty Mansion and The Mirgholam Castle are examples of some surviving traditional buildings in Ilam. The courtyard dwelling is the main type of the buildings of this period. This type of building was accepted as the main building type over all Iran for both climatic and cultural reasons. Brick is the main constructional material in these buildings. The passive thermal techniques indicated for the Iranian traditional buildings are commonly used in these buildings.
The Governor Castle of Ilam was built in type of courtyard. Adding shade and moisture by using green landscape, high trees and a pond, were the main passive techniques used in this building to reduce the temperature in summer. The Mirgholam Castle of Ilam presents a classic Iranian courtyard. The garden and the pound were the main elements of this type of buildings. The Falahaty Mansion used a pitched roof as it was regular beside the flat roofs in the traditional buildings in Ilam earlier.

Celebrate National Public Lands Day with the BLM Cody Field Office |
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Cody Field Office is celebrating National Public Lands Day (NPLD) on Saturday, Sept. 28, with a workday at the 7 Mountain River Access of the Shoshone River near Cody. Volunteers will conduct trail maintenance to provide improved and more enjoyable access to the river. In addition, BLM specialists will be available to discuss riparian ecosystems, aquatic life, fish habitat and outdoor recreation ethics. The group will depart at 10 a.m. from the Cody Field Office. Those who prefer to meet onsite should contact BLM Outdoor Recreation Planner Paul Rau for directions at 307-578-5900. Volunteers should bring lunch, water, sunscreen, insect repellent and gloves, and wear sturdy shoes and clothing for variable weather conditions. Bring your fishing rod if want to test your angling skills. "The Cody Field Office has held many successful NPLD events in the past and appreciates the continued support of the community," said Rau. "Plus, it's a great way to show pride for our public lands." Those who participate in a NPLD activity will receive a coupon good for a one-time free entrance to Yellowstone or another federally managed area of their choice. NPLD began in 1994 with 700 volunteers and three sites. 2012 was the biggest NPLD in the history of the event with about 175,000 volunteers working at 2,206 sites in every state, the District of Columbia and in many U.S. territories. Volunteers collected an estimated 23,000 pounds of invasive plants, built and maintained an estimated 1,500 miles of trails, planted an estimated 100,000 trees, shrubs and other native plants, removed an estimated 500 tons of trash from trails and other places and contributed an estimated $18 million through volunteer services to improve public lands across the country. Eight federal agencies as well as nonprofit organizations and state, regional and local governments participate in the annual day of caring for public lands. To learn more about NPLD, visit www.publiclandsday.org/ or www.facebook.com/nationalpubliclandsday. Tweet about your NPLD experience on Twitter with the hashtag #NPLD20. For more information about volunteering for the 7 Mountain River Access workday, contact Rau at 307-578-5900 or firstname.lastname@example.com. |
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's multiple-use mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of the public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. In Fiscal Year 2012, activities on public lands generated $4.6 billion in revenue, much of which was shared with the States where the activities occurred. In addition, public lands contributed more than $112 billion to the U.S. economy and helped support more than 500,000 jobs. |

The Empire Strikes Out

Is the face of American baseball throughout the world that of goodwill ambassador or ugly American? Has baseball crafted its own image or instead been at the mercy of broader forces shaping our society and the globe? The Empire Strikes Out gives us the sweeping story of how baseball and America are intertwined in the export of "the American way." From the Civil War to George W. Bush and the Iraq War, we see baseball's role in developing the American empire, first at home and then beyond our shores. And from Albert Spalding and baseball's first World Tour to Bud Selig and the World Baseball Classic, we witness the globalization of America's national pastime and baseball's role in spreading the American dream. Besides describing baseball's frequent and often surprising connections to America's presence around the world, Elias assesses the effects of this relationship both on our foreign policies and on the sport itself and asks whether baseball can play a positive role or rather only reinforce America's dominance around the globe. Like Franklin Foer in How Soccer Explains the World, Elias is driven by compelling stories, unusual events, and unique individuals. His seamless integration of original research and compelling analysis makes this a baseball book that's about more than just sports.

President Obama's "Internet czar," Susan P. Crawford, is tied to a Marxist-run liberal media think tank that advocates government intervention in the Internet, charges a new book released this week.
"The Manchurian President: Barack Obama's Ties to Communists, Socialists and other Anti-American Extremists" officially was released Monday.
The new title from WND senior reporter and WABC Radio host Aaron Klein skyrocketed to No. 1 on the non-fiction list at Amazon.com and is now No. 4 on the overall best-seller list.
With nearly 900 citations, the book bills itself as the most exhaustive investigation ever performed into Obama's political background and radical ties. Klein's co-author is historian and researcher Brenda J. Elliott.
The book seeks to expose an extremist coalition of communists, socialists and other radicals working both inside and outside the administration to draft and advance current White House policy goals.

Abilities: The lightly armored swashbuckler depends on a high Dexterity for her Armor Class, as well as for many class skills. A high charisma score is also a hallmark of a successful swashbuckler. Strength is not as important for a swashbuckler as it is for other melee combatants.

Class Features
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Swashbucklers are proficient with all simple and light martial weapons, the rapier and with light armor and the buckler. Some of the swashbuckler's class features, as noted below, rely on her being no more than lightly armored and unencumbered. In settings featuring firearms the swashbuckler may be proficient in those at the DM's discretion.Bravado (Ex): As long as he is wearing light or no armor or shield (except for a buckler) and he is unencumbered, the swashbuckler may add his charisma modifier to his armor class. This bonus cannot exceed the swashbucklers' class level. This bonus does not stack with similar bonuses granted by other classes such as a monk's ac bonus from wisdom. This bonus is lost whenever the swashbuckler would lose his dexterity bonus due to being flat-footed, surprised etc.
Weapon Finesse: A swashbuckler gains Weapon Finesse as a bonus feat at 1st level even if she does not qualify for the feat.
Bravery (Ex): The swashbuckler gains a +1 morale bonus to saving throws against fear, this bonus increases by +1 every four levels beyond second to a maximum of +5 at level 18. Swashbuckler and fighter levels stack for the purpose of this ability.
Deadly Thrust (Ex): At 3rd level, a swashbuckler becomes able to make deadly thrusting attacks when wielding a one handed piercing weapon with the weapon finesse feat. As a standard action she may take a -2 penalty to her armor class to add her charisma bonus plus half her swashbuckler levels as a bonus to damage. This damage is multiplied on a critical hit as normal. Creatures immune to critical hits are immune to this additional damage.
Evasion (Ex): At 4th level or higher, if a swashbuckler makes a successful Reflex saving throw against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save, he instead takes no damage. Evasion can be used only if the swashbuckler is wearing light armor or no armor. A helpless swashbuckler does not gain the benefit of evasion.
Dodge (Ex): At level 5 the swashbuckler gain the Dodge feat as a bonus feat even if he doesn't meet the prerequisites. At 10th level his bonus from the Dodge feat increases to +2, at 15th level to +3 and at 20th level to +4.
Uncanny Dodge (Ex): Starting at 4th level, a swashbuckler can react to danger before her senses would normally allow her to do so. She retains her Dexterity bonus to AC (if any) even if she is caught f lat-footed or struck by an invisible attacker. She still loses her Dexterity bonus to AC if immobilized. If a swashbuckler already has uncanny dodge from a different class, she automatically gains improved uncanny dodge instead.
Acrobatic Assault (Ex): At 7th level the swashbuckler gains the ability to charge in situations where others cannot. She may charge over difficult terrain that normally slows movement. Depending on the circumstance, she may still need to make appropriate checks to successfully move over the terrain.
Improved Flanking (Ex): An 8th level swashbuckler who is flanking an opponent gains a +4 bonus on attacks instead of a +2 bonus on attacks. (Other characters flanking with the swashbuckler don't gain this increased bonus.)
Rake's Fortune (Ex): Swashbuckler's tend to be extremely skilled and lucky individuals. Once per day, a swashbuckler of 11th level or higher may re-roll any failed attack roll, skill check, ability check, or saving throw. The character must take the result of the re-roll, even if it's worse than the original roll. A swashbuckler of 18th level or higher rolls 2d20 and take the best roll out of the these two new rolls when using this ability. At 18th level he may use this ability two times per day.
Improved Deadly Thrust (Ex): At 9th level the swashbuckler may add his charisma bonus on any rolls he makes to confirm critical hits when using his deadly thrust ability.
Improved Uncanny Dodge (Ex): A 12th level swashbuckler can no longer be flanked. This defense denies rogues the ability to sneak attack the swashbuckler by flanking her, unless the attacker has at least four more rogue levels than the swashbuckler does. If the swashbuckler already has uncanny dodge from another class, he automatically gains improved uncanny dodge instead, and the levels from the classes that grant uncanny dodge stack to determine the minimum rogue level required to flank the swashbuckler.
Acrobatic Mastery (Ex): A 13th level swashbuckler may always take 10 on Acrobatics and Climb checks and never loses his dexterity bonus to AC for Balancing, Climbing, Running or performing other precarious stunts.
Crippling Critical (Ex): A 14th level swashbuckler who scores a critical hit with a one handed piercing weapon when using the weapon finesse feat also deals 2 points of Strength damage to that creature. A swashbuckler of 19th level or higher also deals 2 points of Constitution damage in addition to the strength damage. Creatures immune to critical hits are immune to these effects.
Improved Evasion (Ex): At 16th level, a swashbuckler's evasion ability improves. He still takes no damage on a successful Reflex saving throw against attacks, but henceforth he takes only half damage on a failed save. A helpless swashbuckler does not gain the benefit of improved evasion.
Slippery Mind (Ex): When a swashbuckler reaches 17th level, her mind becomes more difficult to control. If the swashbuckler fails her save against an enchantment spell or effect, she can attempt the save again 1 round later at the same DC (assuming she is still alive). She gets only this one extra chance to succeed at a certain saving throw.
Piercing Critical (Ex): At 19th level the swashbuckler ignores the damage reduction of creatures when dealing damage with a critical hit. Creatures with DR "Epic" aren't affected by this ability nor are creatures that are immune to critical hits.
Deadly Critical (Ex): At 20th level the swashbuckler becomes extremely deadly, when wielding a one handed piercing weapon when using the weapon finesse feat, all his threats are automatically confirmed, and his threat rating and damage multiplier for critical hits with this weapon increases by one.
