Effect of training intensity on muscle lactate transporters and lactate threshold of cross-country skiers. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 11683677 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
The training intensity may affect the monocarboxylate transporters MCT1 and MCT4 in skeletal muscle. Therefore, 20 elite cross-country skiers (11 men and nine women) trained hard for 5 months at either moderate (MIG, 60-70% of VO2max) or high intensity (HIG, 80-90%). The lactate threshold, several performance parameters, and the blood lactate concentration (cLa) after exhausting treadmill running were also determined. Muscle biopsies taken from the vastus lateralis muscle before and after the training period were analysed for the two MCTs and for muscle fibre types and six enzymes. The concentration of MCT1 did not change for HIG (P=0.3) but fell for MIG (-12 +/- 3%, P=0.01); the training response differed between the two groups (P=0.05). The concentration of MCT4 did not change during the training period (P > 0.10). The concentration of the two MCTs did not differ between the two sexes (P=0.9). The running speed at the lactate threshold rose for HIG (+3.2 +/- 0.9%, P=0.003), while no change was seen for MIG (P=0.54); the training response differed between the two groups (P=0.04). The cLa after long-lasting exhausting treadmill running correlated with the concentration of MCT1 (rs=0.69, P=0.002), but not with that of MCT4 (rs=0.2, P=0.2). There were no other significant correlations between the concentrations of the two MCTs and the performance parameters, muscle fibre types, or enzymes (r < or = 0.36, P > 0.10). Thus, the training response differed between MIG and HIG both in terms of performance and of the effect on MCT1. Training at high intensity may be more effective for cross-country skiers. Finally, MCT1 may be important for releasing lactate to the blood during long-lasting exercise. |

Global warming harms lakes
Global warming also affects lakes. Based on the example of Lake Zurich, researchers from the University of Zurich demonstrate that there is insufficient water turnover in the lake during the winter and harmful Burgundy blood algae are increasingly thriving. The warmer temperatures are thus compromising the successful lake clean-ups of recent decades.

"The Triad is the Form of the completion of all things." -- Nichomachus of Gerasa, Greek Neo-Pythagorean Philosopher
This 3.85 inch long Marcel Vogel Water Clear Quartz Triangular Healing Wand, weighing a little over 1/4 pound, is a Lightworker's power tool and a collector's item with a powerful personal connection to the famous American Master of Crystal Healing. This wand is cut from natural, untreated Brazilian Quartz Crystal.
This Water Clear Triangular Healing Vogel Wand from our special collection is extraordinary in every way. Master Crystal Cutter Ray Pinto, who has been cutting world-class healing wands based on the designs of IBM scientist and crystal healer Marcel Vogel for decades, has replicated the design of one of Marcel Vogel's favorite healing wands, available now to Satya Center exclusively.
Recently, Jane and I were privileged to receive some paintings and papers of Marcel's from his family, who wish to see his teachings and hiswork more widely distributed to the public. We took pictures of a beautiful portrait of Marcel holding a crystal healing wand, and in one picture Jane is holding one of Marcel's favorite healing wands in her hand in front of the portrait.
Jane and I were delighted to have the opportunity to hold this unique wand in our hands, and to experience the energy for ourselves. We were amazed by the heart-centered energy signature of this beautiful crystal wand, and we decided to have our favorite cutter of Vogel wands, Ray Pinto, replicate this design of Marcel's for distribution to Lightworkers worldwide.
Ray's work more than lived up to our expectations. We have been "test-driving" these beauties in Reidi sessions and in meditation, and we have found that this style of Vogel wand has an energy signature that resonates with the open heart chakra, making this an ideal crystal to use in healing treatments or in meditation practices of all kinds.
For healers working in the shamanic healing tradition of Alberto Villoldo, water clear Vogel wands are considered a requirement for extraction work, which removes negative energies and entities from individuals' auras and bodies. This Triangular Dream Flower Vogel Wand would be the ultimate shamanic tool for practitioners from such a school.
This precision light instrument, with a unique cut based upon the specifications of legendary scientist and crystal healer Marcel Vogel, is a powerful subtle energy tool, and can be used for many kinds of healing work as well as for meditation. Marcel Vogel worked for IBM for 27 years doing research and development. He developed the magnetic coating for IBM's disc drive, which acts as the storage unit for a computer's memory, he created the first liquid crystal displays, or LCDs. From his experimental work with crystals, Vogel learned that by pointing a crystal at another person, the crystal would amplify the person's thoughts and emotions. This often also led to putting the individual into an altered state of consciousness. The next step was for Vogel to utilize the quartz crystals for therapeutic purposes.
Marcel Vogel sought to use the power of science and of the lapidary arts to perfect crystalline forms of nature in order to maximize their potential for receiving, amplifying and transmitting Universal Life Force Energy charged with the intent to heal and with the force of love. Vogel cut his crystals to harmonize with the natural quartz structure to enhance the energetic properties of the wand for healing purposes, and the result is also aesthetically pleasing.
The male termination tip of this gorgeous healing wand is fashioned to form a curvilinear triangular tip designed to maximize the coherence and strength of energy streaming from the wand, while the female termination tip was cut precisely to the interior angle of 51 degrees, 51 minutes and 51 seconds, the same angle as the Great Pyramid of Giza.
Universal Life Force Energy (also called prana or chi) enters the female end of the wand, which displays three pentagonal faces and three triangular faces. Crystals with one or more five-sided faces and opposed by triangular faces are known as Isis crystals. Isis crystals like this one can assist us in connecting with the Divine Mother. Isis was known as the Egyptian Queen of Magic and Giver of Life. For both men & women, such a crystal can help to balance the male/female aspects of our beings or bring in the qualities of the Divine Mother: nurturing, strength, self love, Universal Love & compassion. Isis crystals can help to foster the native intelligence we all have, called Intuition.
As the prana spirals down the shaft of the wand, the energy stream is amplifed every time it encounters a facet on the shaft. The Triangular Vogel Healing Wand has three large faces on the shaft, and three narrow faces, all of which narrow down as the shaft approaches the terination tip.
The super-charged energy stream coalesces at the male end of the wand, and is emitted as a highly coherent laser-like beam for use in meditation, vibrational healing and subtle communications.
Ray Pinto and Curtis Lang of Satya Center at the 2007 Denver Gem & Mineral Show Discussing Sacred Geometry
Energy and crystal healers prize Vogel cut quartz crystals to this day. The art of cutting crystals for use in healing requires extensive knowledge of the high art of jewel-cutting, an intuitive feel for the subtle energies involved, and an awareness of the needs of the energy healer who will be using the wand.Faceted crystal wands claiming to be Vogel type crystals vary widely in quality, craftsmanship, and price.The most important thing to remember in working with faceted crystals for healing is that the purpose of the faceting should be to amplify and transmit an increasingly coherent stream of energy to a subject.Some hexagonal quartz crystal wands occur naturally with six more or less equilateral sides and more or less equal triangular termination facets. Energy healers discovered that these six sided wands amplifed the energy being transmitted by the wand when the termination facets on the female end created a more obtuse angle and when the termination facets on the male end created a more acute angle. In a naturally formed quartz crystal of somewhat irregular shape and symmetry, the energy within the crystal tends to move through the crystal in a less directed way than the Vogel style cuts. But when a crystal had a very definite symmetry, especially the hexagonal symmetry, then the energy gathers in the larger, receptive end of the crystal, and if directed by a knowledgeable human hand, travels in a series of tighter and tighter concentric circles around the interior of the crystal, and down into the tip of the male end of the crystal, where it would be emitted as a much more coherent stream of energy.
Energy healers also discovered that when the sharp male tip of the healing wand is congruent with the C-axis of the crystal, exactly centered within the circle formed when you look head-on at the male end of the crystal, this made the energetic flow stronger and more coherent.When the sharp tip on the female end of the crystal, where the six termination facets meet, is congruent with the C-axis of the crystal, exactly centered within the circle formed when you look head-on at the female end of the crystal, this made the energetic flow stronger and more coherent.
Total symmetry created the crystal healer's version of the laser beam.The best six-sided natural healing wands with well-centered male and female terminations, had a female termination with an angle of 51 degrees, 51 minutes and 51 seconds, equal to the angle of the Great Pyramid of Giza.Marcel Vogel's healing wands are refined artistic versions of natural healing wands. Good Vogel wands should have precisely equal facets. The male and female terminations should be sharp, and the male should be more acute than the female. The female termination should be 51 degrees, 51 minutes and 51 seconds.
The male and female termination tips should be exactly centered in the circle you cee when you look head-on at the crystal from either end.As you can see from this brief, simplified description of the intricacies of Marcel Vogel's designs, it is extremely difficult to create Vogel wands.I have seen many "Vogel" wands that do not meet the minimum specifications for a Vogel wand as described above.In addition, the number of facets, the intricacy of the design, the mastery of the wand-cutter, his credentials as an energy healer, the quality of the materials used, and other factors, all contribute to the difficulty of producing Vogel wands.
The large, female end of each of Ray Pinto's Master Cut Vogel wands is cut precisely to the interior angle of 51 degrees, 51 minutes and 51 seconds, the same angle as the Great Pyramid of Giza. The C-Axis is precisely defined, all the flat facets are equal in size, and the termination tips are accurately centered and aligned exactly with the C-Axis running through the center of the shaft. This is your guarantee of authenticity.
Universal Life Force Energy (also called prana or chi) enters the female end of the wand, spirals down the body of the wand, and is amplifed every time it encounters a facet. The super-charged energy stream coalesces at the male end of the wand, and is emitted as a highly coherent laser-like beam for use in meditation, vibrational healing and subtle communications.
We are proud to offer our customers only those Vogel-cut wands that come from cutters whose work is personally known to us. We personally "test-drive" and examine them all energetically prior to accepting them for our inventory.Ray Pinto's brother Walber Pinto studied directly with Marcel Vogel, who is now deceased, and Ray and Walber have practiced crystal healing and precision cutting of Vogel wands for decades. Their artisanship and dedication to energy healing is well known wherever Lightworkers gather throughout the world.
This wand comes with its own protective suede & sheepskin lined pouch, valued at $50, with a closure at one end to protect it when not in use.
Read more about quartz and other types of crystals at the SatyaCenter.com crystals homepage. Check out the article "Using Quartz Crystals in Digital Technology, Healing and Meditation" for an overview of the metaphysical and mineralogical properties of quartz, and a step-by-step guide explaining how to cleanse, charge, and program quartz crystals for healing, meditation and other spiritual purposes.This crystal has been cleaned with Universal Life Force Energy, and given an energy attunement using Reiki, a Japanese technique of energy healing, so it will continue to receive and transmit Universal Life Force Energy direct from the Source of Creation. It has also cleaned and charged with the natural energy of sunlight. It is ready for you to program according to your own needs and desires. Weight above is shipping weight. Net weight of Vogel cut wand is 3.8 ounces or 108 grams.

John Ziegler will come to Los Angeles in January and work the 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. shift "live and local," as they say, reports LA Radio.com. Ziegler was recently removed from a morning AM talk slot in Louisville after divulging intimate details about a TV anchorwoman he had dated. A TV face-off show also was cancelled this year. Ziegler's website proudly lists all the enemies he has made, including the Kentucky governor. The site also touts a page of "Zieglerisms," including these:
"Baseball is much like liberalism and organized religion...it seems like a great idea when you're young, but then most people grow up and get a clue."
"The female figure is the greatest known evidence that there might be a God...but the female psyche is an indication that this God has a very sick sense of humor."
"Bad sex is usually better for the man than the woman...unless he has a conscience, while great sex is usually better for the woman...unless she happened to grow up as a Catholic...or is socially impotent."
In a previous gig he was fired for using the n-word and wrote about it for the Jewish World Review. Your mileage may vary, but I'm not seeing any reason to set a KFI button in the car for this guy.

are words from a person you may relate to:
Looking for answers? Salvation is available to you right now, only by the grace of Jesus Christ, and is a gift to you! How do we take advantage of this? Salvation isn't ours until we accept that gift. Here's how: I John 1:9 — "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins, and purify us from all unrighteousness." Romans 10:9 — "That if you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." Romans 6:23 — "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Have you accepted this gift? If you haven't, then consider these Scriptures: Romans 3:10 — "There is no one righteous, not even one." Nobody escapes hell on his or her own merits. Romans 3:23 — "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." None of us is worthy of heaven. Romans 5:8 — "But God demonstrates His own love for us in this; while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." John 3:16 — "For
God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whosoever believes
in Him shall have eternal life."
God knew
you long before you were born and loved you so much that
His son, Jesus, came to save us from our sins by paying the sin penalty
for us, which is death.
So how do
you receive God's gift of forgiveness and salvation?
"Jesus, I believe I am a sinner. I believe you are the Savior and the Lord. I believe that you love me enough to die for my sins. I confess ALL of my sins to you. I desire to begin a new life with you. I accept your gift of salvation. I accept your love for me, and your direction of my life. Amen." If you've sincerely prayed that prayer and accepted that free gift of salvation, then please tell a Christian friend, family member, or pastor as soon as possible. Ask the Lord to bring godly counselors into your life to answer your questions and help you grow spiritually, remembering that God's Holy Word is the final authority. Nourish your faith by attending a Bible-believing church nearby, fellowshipping with other believers, and reading the Holy Bible. Why read the Bible? It contains the mind of God, the state of humankind, the way of salvation, the doom of sinners, and the happiness of believers. Its doctrines are Holy, its precepts are binding, its histories are true, and its decisions are immutable. It's the traveler's map, the pilgrim's staff, the pilot's compass, the soldier's sword, and the Christian's charter. Christ is its grand subject. It should fill the memory, rule the heart, and guide the feet. Read it slowly, frequently, and prayerfully. If you wish, we
would love to hear about your salvation experience. Send us an

Strong Centers Make Healthier Regions
Posted by Kaid Benfield on March 30, 2009
The signs continue to mount that the housing market continues to move in favor of central locations, and away from sprawl. It's all a matter of degree, of course, but the signals are real.
Recently, I wrote about new data from the census showing increasing growth in central cities and inner suburbs. And now there is new evidence from the Washington, DC area, where I live, that in 2008 only one of nine major jurisdictions in the metro region showed an increase in median home sales price: Washington, DC itself. The other jurisdictions that fared better than the region as a whole (whose overall median price dropped 8 percent) are all inner suburbs, and the ones that fared the worst were on the area's outer fringe.
In addition, Harvard ecomonist Ed Glaeser, who seems to be everywhere these days, reports that regions with strong centers, as measured by the number of jobs within 5 miles of the center, are benefiting from lower unemployment rates during the current recession. There are other factors, too, of course, but Glaeser finds a stastically significant correlation. Meanwhile, one of the nation's most severely distressed regions, Detroit, is also one of the least centralized. Complicated stuff, but food for thought.

Written by admin on April 12, 2011 – 1:22 pm -From experience, the most effective Colon Cleanser Products are based on Psyllium.
Therefore, I made a list of the best available products which contain psyllium.
Now Foods offers the following colon cleanser products:
Psyllium Husk Caps, 500 mg, 500 Capsules
Psyllium Husk Powder, available in 340 or 680 grams

For example, even if the capsules are easier to take in, the most effective is the whole, organic, or powdered Psyllium Husk.
Best Colon Cleanse Product
Written by admin on February 18, 2010 – 10:11 pm -Not many people are aware of the fact that a healthy life is always dependent upon a healthy colon. An unhealthy colon affects directly or indirectly almost all the organs of our body. When impacted material accumulates in the colon, the liver gets affected, and as a result, the kidney gets affected. Even the brain and heart will be affected due to clogged arteries. The truth is, in a vast majority of people, the colon is filled with toxins and is in unhealthy condition. Thus, it becomes essential to cleanse it on a regular basis.
Colon cleansing has proved a safer method to alleviate many of our symptoms and diseases such as fatigue, bloating, and constipation. It is necessary for flushing out the toxins which have built up in our body due to polluted food, water, air, and using antibiotics constantly. When toxins are removed, it becomes easier to have body weight control. It is not that you have to do colon cleanse only if you have these symptoms. Colon cleanse can be performed by anyone who wish to lead a healthy life and ward off diseases.
Now that you know about the importance of cleansing, you may wonder how to do colon cleansing and which is the best colon cleanse product. A few things are to be kept in mind while you are researching on the best colon cleanse product to use. Essentially, you should check out whether the colon cleanse product contains 100% natural ingredients. Then only, you can safely use it at home. You can also go through the product reviews for knowing about its efficacy and reliability.
You cannot take the risk of having a malfunctioning colon. So, perform colon cleanse regularly for gaining more energy and set on the path to a healthier and happier life.

Try Psyllium to cleanse your Colon today!
Written by admin on February 9, 2010 – 7:41 pm -You might have come across the term Psyllium in colon cleanse products and wondered what it is. Psyllium husk forms the covering protecting the seeds in many plants. It serves as an excellent source of dietary fiber, which is much more than those contained in other whole grain sources like oat bran or wheat. Hence psyllium husk is included in many colon cleanse products.
It is also considered as the best fiber supplement. The reason is, when psyllium makes its way through the digestive tract, its shell is not absorbed, but it absorbs water content. So the stool becomes soft and the problem of constipation is thereby alleviated. Thus psyllium is increasingly found in laxatives too.
Psyllium also has other uses besides colon cleansing. The bad cholesterol level in the blood has been reduced when psyllium is used in combination with a low fat diet. It has also been shown to help much in weight loss as it helps to pass out more fat in the stool.
But there is a disadvantage in using psyllium. Some people develop a severe allergy to this ingredient. So adequate precaution has to be exercised when taking supplements that include this ingredient – you have to drink plenty of water while taking it. The same precaution applies to cereals and other such high fiber foods that include psyllium. There are chances that you will have an issue with intestinal obstruction, so if you have had any previous colon surgery, it is always better to consult your doctor before taking any form of products that contain psyllium.
To sum up, psyllium is:
• Excellent colon cleanse product
• Rich source of dietary fiber
• Good fiber supplement
• Good laxative
• Reducer of bad cholesterol level in blood
• Good helper in weight loss

Which is the best method of colon cleansing?
Written by admin on February 1, 2010 – 10:47 pm -There are different opinions about the best way to clean the colon. But everybody tend to agree that the colon should be cleaned. In fact, colon is an important area to get cleansed when compared to kidney, liver, and other organs. Many diseases have their beginning only in the colon. When impacted material builds up in the colon, it leads to loss of nutrients in the organs and muscles, leading to fatigue and lethargy, and even stroke at times. This highlights why you should do colon cleanse.
There are basically three ways to clean your colon, namely, natural colon cleansing, using colon cleanse products, or taking a colonic. These are detailed in the following paragraphs.
The first method is to clean colon naturally. Many things that have natural cleansing properties like green, leafy vegetables and fruit juices are employed in this method. Even water is a good element to clean colon. By using this method, you can manage your intake.
The second method is to use a colon cleanse product. This method is popular and is being used profitably by many companies. A colon cleanser does work, but sometimes they work rather harshly. You can opt for this method if you do not have time to do natural colon cleanse.
The third method is to use a colonic. This is an easy method whereby the colon is manually cleaned with water and the debris gathered in the colon gets flushed away. But you should ensure that you receive colonic treatment from authentic persons, and that pure water is given to clean your colon.
Thus, you can evaluate these three methods and the benefits they offer, and then choose the one which is right for you. Among them, cleaning your colon naturally is the best option since you can have an eye on what actually goes into your body. It is also completely free of side-effects.

Best Colon Cleansing Products
Written by admin on January 24, 2010 – 11:39 pm -It is a fact that every one of us would like to postpone the aging process. Many of us would have dreamt about the "Fountain of Youth". You might have noticed with dismay the wrinkles around your eyes and the age spots. You might have felt tiredness creeping in all over your body. But you need not worry anymore. The answer to your problems lies in colon cleansing.
We can get accurate information on the internet about the best colon cleanse products available in the market and their product reviews. But an important point to note here is that these products are not evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration for their efficacy, nor can these products be used in the diagnosis, treatment or prevention of any disease.
The best colon cleanse product listed out by the internet is Oxy-Powder. Your colon gets cleansed, detoxified, and refreshed on using this product. You can experience a marked improvement in your digestive and immune systems. It also brings back your vitality. Oxy-Powder is available both in powder and pill forms. You should take only purified water while using this product.
The next best colon cleanse product is called Blessed Herbs. Blessed Herbs consists of several natural products which help your body get rid of toxins. Your colon gets effectively cleansed, and your energy levels are back to normal. There are several types of colon cleansing products offered by Blessed Herbs. A significant product is seven-day cleansing, which will help you decide if you can continue further with this product.
The third colon cleanse product is the Colpurin Colon Cleansing Program. This 30-day program can be split up into two 15-day stages. You will complete the first stage of 15 days and then move on to the second stage. This product contains gel caplets. But you should use this product only after reading the warnings, as this product is not suitable for pregnant women, and also for people having liver, heart, or kidney diseases.
The fourth and final colon cleanse product is called Colonix, which contains about 40 herbal ingredients. This is a herbal supplement product that helps to get rid of waste and fecal matter in your colon. This is done by an ingredient called Psyllium, which absorbs water and "bulks" up inside your colon, grabbing the fecal matter from your intestine walls and disposing of them through the excretory system.
These are the four best colon cleanse products available in the market, which will bring back your youthful days.

Presumption laws turn the tables on public-sector employers, but knowing how to fund and defend against them can help manage these claims. By Mark Walls
The United States Constitution's statement that "all men are created equal" is one of the basic principles of our country. Yet, in the world of workers' compensation, all claims are not equal.
Under all workers' compensation statutes, the employee has the burden to prove that their condition "arose out of employment." In other words, the employee must show that work caused the injury or condition for which they seek benefits.
Presumption laws assume that first responders, for instance, have a greater incidence of certain conditions than the general population. Yet conflicting studies exist on the validity of this assumption. For example, in 2009 the National League of Cities released a study that failed to document a link between firefighting and most forms of cancer. Shortly thereafter, the International Association of Fire Chiefs released a study that questioned the validity of the National League of Cities findings.
I recently moderated a panel discussion at the Public Risk Management Association (PRIMA) annual conference on strategies for handling police officer and firefighter presumption claims. The panel featured four public-entity risk managers from around the country and a prominent California defense attorney. The focus of the panel was not whether presumption laws are justified--rather the costs of such claims and the ability to defend against them.
Legislators need to be made aware of the costs associated with these laws. One panelist, Karen Caterino, risk manager for the state of Nevada, indicated that her state's average "heart" claim where the worker receives permanent total disability costs on average $1.2 million. One city in Nevada has undiscounted presumption liabilities of approximately $495 million.
The costs go beyond actual claim payments. The panelists pointed out that, when the presumption laws shifted these conditions into workers' compensation, no corresponding drop occurred in their group health benefits. Employers of workers subject to these presumptions are still paying group health rates based on the risk factors of the total population. While the actual costs of the treatment paid under workers' compensation is higher than the premiums paid under group insurance, this essentially means this group of employers is paying for coverage of the same risks twice.
Additionally, because claims can be filed several years after the end of an employee's employment, public entities face an additional challenge in budgeting for presumption claims. The statute of limitations for filing a presumption claim in California is now five years from last employment. In Nevada, there is no statute of limitations for a presumption claim.
Katharine Peeling, insurance manager for Montgomery County in Maryland, explained at PRIMA that her employer relies upon actuarial modeling based on past experiences to forecast future costs. Yet this method is still difficult because medical costs continue to rise, particularly for workers' compensation claims.
For states with relatively new presumption laws, actuarial modeling doesn't always work, like in Colorado With no historical losses to utilize in an analysis of presumption claims, an employer has no reliable basis upon which to forecast future claims costs.
Defending presumption claims is no easy task also. Claims administrators tend to be "too complacent," as panelist Diana Rich, workers' compensation program manager for California Joint Powers Insurance Authority, pointed out. They feel it is impossible to overcome the presumption, so why make the effort.
Presumption claims can, however, be defended. In defending against a presumption claim for cancer, say, it is important to know the possible causes and latency periods for specific cancers, explained, Norin Grancell, an attorney with the firm Grancell, Lebovitz, Stander, Rubens and Thomas in California.
Another area used to dispute presumption claims is exposure records. Take that 90 percent of firefighter calls are medical calls. With firefighters working two to three 24-hour shifts per week, they could conceivably work for 20 years and never once fight a structure fire.
Presumption laws have significantly expanded over the last 10 years. States with existing presumption laws are expanding such laws to cover additional conditions and workers. California now has a back injury presumption for police officers due to the weight of their gun belts. This expansion is expected to continue into the future.
What's more, California is now considering expanding presumption laws into the private sector by providing a presumption for hospital workers for blood-borne illnesses. This expansion would create increased exposure for employers, and create yet another example of all claims not being equal.

CLEVELAND (AP) -- Jason Giambi's gigantic three-run homer in Colorado's six-run fifth inning off Fausto Carmona sent the Rockies to an 8-7 win Monday night over Cleveland, the Indians' first loss in seven interleague games this season.
Giambi's 440-foot shot -- his 422nd career homer -- against Carmona (4-9) helped the Rockies win for the fifth time in six games and get back to .500 for the first time since May 25. The 40-year-old Giambi will get more at-bats with the Rockies on the road in AL ballparks for the next five games.
This weekend, he'll be back in Yankee Stadium, where he starred in pinstripes from 2002-08.
Matt Lindstrom (2-1), the second of five Rockies relievers, got the win. Huston Street worked the ninth for his NL-leading 21st save in 23 chances.

I am writing to protest discriminatory actions on your part that amount to defamation of my character and that of my mother, Rosario Morales, as Latina writers: You have not placed a single one of our books on your list of titles to be banned from the public school curriculum!
It's true that we are Puerto Rican, not Mexican, but you banned our compatriot Martin Espada. I am not from any of the First Nations of Arizona, and it's also true that the Tainos have never lived in Arizona in large numbers, (though you did bring a bunch of us in the 1920s to pick cotton,) but you banned Sherman Alexie who is from the Pacific Northwest.

"The guides have been all exceedingly friendly, helpful, and genuinely fun to be around, especially to my son, whose first question upon returning home is always, "Where are we going next year?" "
Trail of the Ancients Family Trip
Dates Available
- Jun 9, 2014 - Jun 13, 2014
- Jun 16, 2014 - Jun 20, 2014
- Jun 23, 2014 - Jun 27, 2014
- Jun 30, 2014 - Jul 4, 2014
The Trail of the Ancients takes us to one of the more remote mountain ranges in the Southwest, the Abajos.
This range is just south of the Needles District of Canyonlands National Park. The peaks pop right up out of the desert providing us with some of the best possible views of the region. Roughly 1,000 years ago, this area supported a well established community of Anasazi Indians. During this trip we will have the opportunity to visit some of their dwellings which still stand.
The riding is on dirt roads through both alpine and desert terrain. All the climbs are rewarded with awe inspiring views and fun descents.
This trip is not technical and is great for those with moderate fitness who are ready to try the dirt. If you want to know if this is the right trip for your family, call us at 800-845-2453. We can answer all your questions.
Please provide a little information to see the full itinerary, travel logistics and other important details:

If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to call us at 1-800-845-2453 or email email@example.com.
This trip will meet at 7:30am MST at Western Spirit 478 Mill Creek Drive, Moab, Utah. You will need to spend the night before in Moab. We will be happy to pick you up at your hotel, please call us Mon-Fri, 9-5 to schedule your pickup. Muffins, scones, fruit and coffee will be served.
We will return to Western Spirit between 3:00-4:00 pm on the last day.
From our shop in Moab, we will shuttle 2- 1/2 hours to our starting point near Natural Bridges National Monument. We start gently with a paved loop road that provides access to three large natural bridges which have formed in the Cedar Mesa Sandstone. The bridges can be viewed by walking a short distance to an overlook, or we can hike a little farther to actually sit underneath one of these wonders. Archeological sites can also be viewed from overlooks along the rim. After a nice lunch at the picnic grounds we finish the eight mile loop and head up to camp on Maverick Point. Parents can ride the 1,200 foot climb to camp or opt to shuttle up with the kids. Our camp for the night is up in the cool Ponderosa Pines with an amazing view of the sunset. TOTAL MILEAGE - 8 -15 miles riding, 2 mile hike
Our ride this morning begins with a gradual climb up to the Bears Ears. These prominent landmarks are visible from much of southern Utah and reach an elevation of just over 9,000 feet. From here, we descend to the aspen and Ponderosa Pine forests of Elk Ridge and some smooth easy riding. Elk Ridge is a narrow tabletop plateau, cut sharply on either side by spectacular red rock canyons. From here one can see the peaks of five major mountain ranges; the colorful and strangely eroded canyons of the Dark Canyon Wilderness Area and the Needles District of Canyonlands National Park. A picnic lunch at Arch Canyon Overlook offers excellent views of the archaeologically rich canyon and the Grand Gulch Primitive Area. Easy cruising on smooth dirt roads makes up the afternoon and takes us to our camp for the next two nights at Hammond Canyon Overlook. Numerous side roads offer intriguing possibilities and fun riding for the extra energetic. TOTAL MILEAGE -12 miles (not including side-trips)
Today, we will ride down to one of the most fascinating Anasazi Indian ruins in southern Utah. The journey takes the better part of the day, so we will pack a picnic lunch to bring along. We'll cross the plateau on dirt roads through an area that burned in 2002, an interesting opportunity to observe natural revegetation. Once the road gets too steep, we'll leave the bikes and start our hike. The hike down the road gives us a chance to take in the view all the way to New Mexico and to see the canyon we are destined for. A primitive trail takes us to the ruins, precariously placed on a ledge 200 feet up the cliff wall. We'll enjoy our packed lunch before we start back. After our visit to these impressive dwellings we will hike back up the hill and rejoin our bikes for the ride back to camp. A shuttle ride back to camp is an option for the little ones, or tired big ones. Once back at camp, there are more riding and hiking options for those who wish. TOTAL DISTANCE - 10 miles, 5 miles hiking
From our camp at Hammond Canyon, we continue along Elk Ridge to our high point of the day called "The Notch". Bordering the Dark Canyon Wilderness Area to the west and Cottonwood Wash to the east, The Notch displays the geologic complexities of this high plateau country. The uplifted Abajo Mountains, the red rock wonderland of the Needles and the broken canyon country in between, signify millions of years of geologic activity. From The Notch, we roll along the ridge past Duck Lake (usually just a meadow by mid-summer!) and the Gooseberry Ranger Station to our camp at Sego Flat. This is some of the best Mule Deer and elk habitat in the state and we may see large herds near camp. TOTAL MILEAGE - 17 miles
Our last morning begins with a gentle climb up along Horse Mountain before we start our long downhill towards Salt Creek Mesa. We will descend over 3,000 feet from our alpine environment down into the desert landscapes with incredible views around every corner. Some rolling climbs will bring us to our lunch spot near Cathedral Butte, with far reaching views into Canyonlands National Park. After lunch there is the option of more rolling desert all the way out to Route 211 where we will load up and shuttle back to Moab. A quick stop at Newspaper Rock shows us one of the more famous rock art panels in the Southwest. TOTAL MILAGE - 15-30 miles

She's getting so big
Bee was getting ready for her last Chorus performance of the year this evening. When she was all done, it finally hit me how much older she is looking lately. My "baby" is now my 11 year old soon-to-be 6th grader. I got a little emotional.
How did she go from this...
To this...
that fast? Where has the time gone?
I wish she would slow down a little. I'm really missing my "baby". :(

Same here!! The last couple weeks I have been especially sad about my growing girl! I hear ya!!
LOVE the curly hair and the pink bow! Your girls always have the prettiest most well manicured hair do's! And WOW....she IS looking super grown up! Good thing she has a brother to help chase the boys away :)
I love getting comments but as you can see, my blog is now somewhat anonymous. So please, if you know them, try not to use my kids real names. Just in case, all comments are moderated. Thank you so much! Comment away!

Her work is thoughtful and collaborative, and she spans both private and public commissions. In 2006, Barbaras jewellery and small sculptural work was the subject of a survey exhibition at the Queensland Art Gallery. Its title, Jeweller to the Lost, is somewhat of a mantra for Barbara.
She has said: If we are lost - then we know we are searching. I like to make jewellery for people who are searching . . .
In both her jewellery and larger projects similar themes and motifs recur. She often uses the device of the lattice screen- an architectural detail that is a shelter as well as a barrier. It is just one way that she explores her abiding fascination with notions of the public versus the private, the veil, and things which is concealed and therefore precious.

Eurotech Import Auto Service
Submitted by jesse on Thu, 09/18/2008 - 07:29Anyone who has owned a used BMW knows that while they are wonderful machines, they can also be expensive to maintain, and having a good relationship with skilled mechanics is essential. I have been really fortunate to know some great people, honest and exceptionally talented, who have helped me learn incredible amounts of info about BMWs.
I've already introduced my readers to my friend and BMW artisan Geoff Reid, and now I'd like to take the time to introduce you to my friends Jamie DeWolfe and Frank Apa who own and operate Eurotech Import Auto Service.
The guys at Eurotech have been helping my dad with his car, but also his racing car (a converted e30 328i), and as a result my dad spends almost all his free time there. Whenever I drop by and visit the atmosphere is always warm and welcoming.

Michael H. Posted on 10/01/2013
Fit the matching containers nicely. Not too tight and not too loose. They are also sturdy enough to be able to stack containers on top of one another.
Samuel A. from Great American Bagel Posted on 07/30/2013
This Cambro lid fits the 12 quart storage container I bought to store 10 something lbs of rice. It sits snugly and is easy to put on and take out. Quality is great.
Sandhya S. from Home cook Posted on 05/14/2013
These lids fit perfectly on the compatible square containers. They hold their place without being so snug that it is too hard to take them off.
Daphne C. from Verite Catering Posted on 04/09/2013
Secure lid that is easy to label and clean. Ideal for stacking items in the cooler. I like that they are color coded. Makes looking for the right lid easy!

The Cambro SFC12 12, 18, 22 QT. Blue Squar Lid. It is a must have with the 12 QT. Containers. It fits snug and nothing will spill out. It is dishwasher safe.
Angela H. from Harrison Familey Restaurant Posted on 12/27/2012
These lids are durable and dishwasher friendly ! DOn't waste plastic wrap covering containers, buy these lids and save time and money! Plastic labels come off in the dishwasher! Must buy.
James B. Posted on 11/13/2012
The cambro lids are soft, pliable and very easy to get on and off. I also like how they are color-coated which helps find the right one quickly. The larger lids like this one are particularly NOT water-tight if you are going to try to transport liquids in a vehicle, but for any other use they are fine (even liquids just moving the normal amount around a kitchen).
Anne O. from Sterling College Posted on 08/17/2012
The lids are okay, maybe it's me but they seem to be a little too big for the containers. They appear to be quite loose fitting. The lids don't fit tight, like my other container lids. I'm curious to know if anyone feels the same way.
Desiree T. from Desiree's Desserts Posted on 07/25/2012
This Cambro brand lid for square design containers is sure to last! Fits securely on either 12, 18 or 22 square quart containers! Holds up to hot liquids and stays secure in the freezer!
Eric K. Posted on 02/28/2012
I purchased this blue lid for the 12 quart Cambro square container. The shape of the lid allows the containers to be stacked, which saves a lot of space in my pantry. This is a nice, heavy construction and holds it's shape well.
Cynthia B. Posted on 01/11/2012
Love the cover, fits tight on the container and I can stack things on top as well. they store well also. they are just perfect.
Lisa B. Posted on 08/11/2011

"Risk Aversion and Wealth: Evidence from Person-to-Person Lending Portfolios"
Working paper,
Publication type: Working paper
Research Archive Topic: Business Economics and Public Policy
We estimate risk aversion from investors' portfolio choices on a person-to-person lending platform. Our method obtains a risk aversion parameter from each investment and generates a panel that we use to disentangle the elasticity of risk aversion to wealth from heterogeneity in risk attitudes across investors and changes in beliefs. We find an average income-based Relative Risk Aversion of 2.85, a median of 1.62, and substantial heterogeneity and skewness across investors. Risk aversion increases after a negative housing wealth shock, consistent with Decreasing Relative Risk Aversion. We show that ignoring heterogeneity and changes in beliefs would lead to biased estimates.

Cinema Review: The Queen of Versailles
DIR: Lauren Greenfield • WRI: Nick Cave • PRO: Lauren Greenfield, Danielle Renfrew • DOP: Tom Hurwitz • ED: Victor Livingston • CAST: Virginia Nebab, David Siegel, Jaqueline Siegel
While the story itself is dark and depressing, there is something disturbingly alluring in today's society to observe the fall of the wealthy (the worldwide success of the television show Revenge is definitely somewhat indebted to this) and in a more pure form, to watch the truth that spending freely without thought will eventually come back to bite even the rich hard.
This is a documentary directed by Lauren Greenfield which explores greed in all its glory, one of the deadly sins that was rife amongst so many before the economic crisis. However, the focus here is very direct, as it acutely exposes an ugly centre to the notion of the 'American Dream' with an example of a disintegration of those who have accumulated considerable wealth and status as a result of buying into the real estate bubble and cheap money. What is critical is that the couple at the centre of this film began in poverty and are living in the top 1 per cent at the start of the documentary. It looks at a billionare couple as they start work on a mansion, a 90,000 sq. ft. home, as homage to the Versailles palace. Over a period of two years, everything falls apart due to the shaky legs their empire stands on and the economic crisis. Greenfield gives us an insight into the ups and more significantly the downs of being having such wealth.
The man in this couple, David Siega,l is stereotypically much older then his trophy wife and is the CEO and president of the largest timeshare corporation in the U.S.A, Westgate Resorts. David falls into the category of a man who is smart enough to have reached the position he is in and yet foolish enough to engage with cheap money and pamper his idle wife. His wife, Jackie, is a former beauty queen who climbed the social ladder to be where she is now. She is mother to eight children, who she admits she would not have been able to have without her nannies. When things start to crumble Jackie does not alter her spending and begins to live outside her means as their mansion risks being unfinished. She personifies white trash but at the same time she is endearing to a point and yet blissfully unaware of the reality around her when things turn negative.
The absurdity of the excess, the glimpses into the dark realities that permeate their lives, the neglected children and pets, excessive waiting staff and their awareness that there is the presense of sadness amongst it all, lends itself for hard-hitting yet captivating viewing. This portrait does not gloss anything over, it provides a chilling reflection on current times and insight into how the wealthy are not mere untouchable beings residing in glorious luxury and when things start to deflate, what emerges is hard to swallow and yet also darkly humorous.

The basic material is paper-mache, but the construction is sheer artistry and environmentally friendly, too. The designer owes much to a native Thai artist fascination with the beauty of Japanese characters as graphic art. He turned his passion into a business by organizing the collection of Japanese-language magazines from some 35,000 Japanese living in Thailand. A trained staff then sorts, cuts, and reassembles the magazines pages to create functional pieces of art. This is more than a pencil cup; it's an organizer worthy of an artist studio. Every piece is uniquely different.
