Russia is the largest country by land mass in the world, a status it maintained even after shedding 14 countries when the Soviet Union dissolved in 1991. Early economic turmoil in the Russian Federation gave way to widespread privatization of industry and oil-fueled growth. The nation's politics have been dominated for more than a decade by the regime of President Vladimir Putin, who has re-nationalized private assets, cracked down on freedom of expression and pursued an expansion of regional influence. This expansion has included a military intervention in Ukraine and an internationally condemned annexation of the Crimean peninsula.

Reference Material About Russia
Russia is the largest and most powerful of the states to emerge from the former Soviet Union. As the seat of the Soviet empire that existed for over 70 years, the Russians wielded tremendous power both within the U.S.S.R. and in the international sphere. Almost from their emergence as a separate people, the Russians have extended the boundaries of their country to include a wide variety of non-Russian people. Both the Russian Czars and the Bolsheviks who came to power in 1917 have a long history of expansionist policies, which explains why, even today, an important part of the Russian national identity is that of leader of a large empire.

What are cranial neuralgias, facial pain, and other headaches?
Neuralgia means nerve pain (neur= nerve + algia=pain). Cranial neuralgia describes inflammation of one of the 12 nerves that supply the motor and sensation function of the head and neck. Perhaps the most commonly recognized example is trigeminal neuralgia, which affects cranial nerve V (the trigeminal nerve) and can cause intense facial pain.
What causes tension headaches?
While tension headaches are the most frequently occurring type of headache, their cause is not known. The most likely cause is contraction of the muscles that cover the skull. When the muscles covering the skull are stressed, they may become inflamed, go into spasm, and cause pain. Common sites include the base of the skull where the trapezius muscles of the neck insert, the temples where muscles that move the jaw are located, and the forehead.
There is little research to confirm the exact cause of tension headaches. Tension headaches occur because of physical or emotional stress placed on the body. For example, these stressors can cause the muscles surrounding the skull to clench the teeth and go into spasm. Physical stressors include difficult and prolonged manual labor, or sitting at a desk or computer for long periods of time concentrating. Emotional stress also may cause tension headaches by causing the muscles surrounding the skull to contract.
What are the symptoms of tension headaches?
Common presentation of tension headaches includes the following:
- Pain that begins in the back of the head and upper neck and is described as a band-like tightness or pressure. It may spread to encircle the head.
- The most intense pressure may be felt at the temples or over the eyebrows.
- The pain can vary in intensity but usually is not disabling, meaning that the sufferer may continue with daily activities. The pain usually is bilateral (affecting both sides of the head).
- The pain is not associated with an aura (see below), nausea, vomiting, or sensitivity to light and sound.
- The pain occurs sporadically (infrequently and without a pattern) but can occur frequently and even daily in some people.
- The pain allows most people to function normally, despite the headache.

- 1 recipe Junior's Russian Dressing
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
- 2 slices rye bread
- Four 1-ounce slices Swiss cheese
- 3 ounces very thinly sliced lean corned beef (about 10 slices)
- 3 ounces very thinly sliced lean pastrami (about 10 slices)
- 1/2 cup drained fresh sauerkraut
1. Make the Russian Dressing and refrigerate until needed.
2. Butter one side of both slices of bread. Melt the rest of the butter on a griddle or in a large skillet over medium heat. Place both slices of bread, buttered side down, on the hot griddle. Top each with 2 slices of cheese.
3. Microwave the corned beef and pastrami, in separate stacks, on high, for about 1 minute, just until the meat begins to steam (do not overheat).
4. WHen the bread has toasted and the cheese has melted, top one slice of bread with the stack of hot pastrami, then cover with the stack of hot corned beef. Top the other slice of bread with the sauerkraut. Flip the side with the sauerkraut on top of the one with the meat and grill for about 2 minutes, until the Reuben is hot throughout. Transfer to a cutting board.
5. Cut the sandwich The Junior's Way: First, slice the sandwich vertically into two pieces—one piece twice the width of the other. Slice the larger piece on the diagonal into two equal triangles. You now have three small overstuffed Reubens for each plate. Serve immediately, with the Russian Dressing on the side.

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2011 Chevrolet HHR
By KBB.com Editors
While some dismiss the 2009 Chevrolet HHR as little more than a PT Cruiser clone, in truth the two vehicles appeal to very different audiences. Where the PT seems to pull in Baby Boomers and Gen X males, the HHR speaks to today's young drivers who like to customize their cars with extreme paint jobs and near-deafening sound systems. By itself, this slick piece of work serves as a practical wagon version of the Cobalt sedan disguised as a retro mini Suburban. There's even a cool Panel version with windowless side panels and side cargo doors. Though smaller than it appears in pictures, the HHR is nevertheless a versatile and fun-to-drive vehicle as equally suited to small families as it is to hip singles.
If you like your retro style backed with substance, the functional, comfortable and eager 2009 Chevrolet HHR will satisfy you beyond its intriguing looks.
While the HHR is indeed versatile, it's still based on a small-car platform. So, if you've got big stuff to haul – or just a lot of stuff – you might need a larger vehicle.
A new turbocharged SS model is added to the lineup and is available in both regular and panel van versions. The 2.2-liter engine receives variable valve timing and bump up in horsepower, while both the 2.2-liter and 2.4-liter engines are made E85 Flex-Fuel compatible. New available features include a rear backup camera and Bluetooth cell phone connectivity.
Driving Impressions One of the best things you can say about a vehicle is that it handles like a smaller car and rides like a bigger one. Such is the case with...the HHR. With its raised seating position and truck-like attitude, you might not expect the HHR to handle like the small car it really is. It's just as surprising out on the highway, where it's smooth for its size and notably quiet. Even when outfitted with the base engine and four-speed automatic transmission, the HHR still feels adequately motivated, although throttle response is a bit slow and the electrically-assisted power steering feels vague and somewhat disconnected. Performance fans will love the 260-horsepower SS trim, which offers a much stiffer suspension, a short throw five-speed manual shifter, larger wheels and improved steering response.
Remote Start
HHRs equipped with automatic transmissions include a remote start feature that lets you start heating or cooling the cabin before you even set foot outside your home.
Audio Input Jack
A front-mounted auxiliary input jack makes it easy to connect any MP3 player or other audio source to the HHR's sound system.
Unlike the retro-on-retro PT Cruiser, the 2009 Chevrolet HHR features thoroughly modern interior styling. Tasteful chrome rings and accents combine with pleasing buttons and knobs in a contemporary interior that looks and feels like nothing from the automaker's past. While there's at least as much plastic as you'd expect, its artfully crafted style is much less objectionable than in many of the cars in its price range. The HHR also treats its occupants to notably comfortable seats. Versatility is definitely one of the car's strong suits, with features like a front passenger seat that folds down to accommodate longer items and a cargo floor that hides a shallow storage bin and also lifts to create a two-tier load area. Panel models feature rear cargo doors that do not have handles but open via a dash-mounted button.Exterior
Featuring a retro design heavily inspired by Chevy's own 1949 Suburban, the HHR plays the stylized delivery wagon to the PT Cruiser's boulevard prowler. This bodes well for the HHR, considering the proven appeal of the utilitarian Scion xB. Up front, a towering hood is fronted by a big chrome grille. Moving toward the rear, flared fenders, rounded corners and circular taillights work in concert to strengthen the HHR's link with the past. As was the case when the PT Cruiser was first introduced, from its pictures it's easy to imagine the HHR to be a much bigger vehicle.
The HHR LS wagon includes a 2.2-liter four-cylinder engine, five-speed manual transmission, air conditioning, AM/FM/CD sound system with auxiliary input jack and XM Satellite Radio, power windows/locks/mirrors, remote keyless entry, cruise control, 16-inch wheel covers, trip computer, OnStar front and side curtain airbags, traction control, anti-lock brakes (ABS) and StabiliTrak stability control. The 1LT trim adds an MP3/CD player, eight-way power driver's seat with lumbar support, 16-inch alloy wheels and satin chrome exterior accents. The 2LT trim adds the 2.4-liter engine, FE3 Sport suspension, ChromeTech 17-inch wheels, 260-watt Pioneer sound system, fog lights and a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob. The SS trim adds a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine, unique front face with mesh grille, sport seats, A-pillar boost gauge, short throw shifter, a rear spoiler and 18-inch wheels.
Features that will take you beyond base sticker price include a more powerful 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine, four-speed automatic transmission with standard remote start, leather seating, heated front seats, performance driver's seat, rear backup camera, USB-port, power moonroof, 260-watt sound system with subwoofer, in-dash six-disc changer, MP3 compatibility, Bluetooth and 16- or 17-inch wheels.
While more aggressive drivers will be best served by either the 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine mated to the five-speed manual transmission, or the potent 2.0-liter turbo in the SS trims, none of the HHR's powertrain combinations feel the least bit anemic. Both the 2.2-liter and 2.4-liter engines are now E85 FlexFuel compatible. They are also louder than one might expect, especially at full throttle. Vibration and harshness, however, are well in line with other small four-cylinder engines from Ford, Chrysler and Hyundai.

"When my husband and I bought this car 3 years ago, right away I felt very safe. The car is great on gas milage, the heat and a/c are great, where we live the winters can be tough but this car melts the snow very quickly. We have had many compliments on it (seeing it's red). Overall it's a good car. Would definitely look into this car if your car shopping."

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 67,000overall rating 9 of 10rating details
Pros: "Fuel economy, large interior volume, subtle ride"
Cons: "Poor interior layout, could use a V-6"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 9
"I had not owned a GM product since 1985. I swore to not buy from this maker as the quality of their mid 80's cars could be rated as junk. I have owned this car since 2013 and have been happy with the car's overall qualities. Fit and finish on the exterior is good. The interior looks and feels cheap, nothing but hard plastic everywhere. This is a very utilitarian vehicle so one has to keep that in mind. Seating is wonderful, I used to drive in as near to horizontal as possible. Well these seats are upright but comfortable. Rear seats are comfortable with good leg room and seat cushion firm but not hard. The engine runs well, but remember it is a 4 banger so you get some powertrain growl. The car could have used a six speed automatic. I think it would give better performance and fuel economy. Fuel economy on this car is quite good about 23 around town and 28 to 30 on the highway. These are my actual experience. I am a woodworker and this car will not swallow a 4x8 sheet of plywood, but if it is under 32 inches wide there is no problem. An 8 foot ladder fits easily. I usually have sheet goods rough precut at the lumber yard. Overall this is a modest car with good appearance, reasonable handling, subtle ride character, decent fuel economy, incredible interior space, truly a utility vehicle."

Dear Mr. President: Please Don't Negotiate Over the Debt Ceiling. Please.
December 05, 2012
It's hard to overstate liberals' sense of relief that Obama is finally negotiating like someone who's encountered a deck of cards once or twice in his life. It wasn't just the hard-ass opening bid he made last week—$1.6 trillion in revenue, higher tax rates for the top two percent, $50 billion in infrastructure, extended unemployment insurance, money for mortgage modifications… all in exchange for about $600 billion in spending cuts.
Don't Repeal The Durbin Amendment
July 23, 2012
If you happen to see an advertisement calling for repeal of something called "the Durbin amendment," on the grounds that it provided an $8 billion windfall to retailers, don't be misled into thinking the sponsor is some do-gooder consumer group. The sponsor ("The Electronic Payments Coalition") is in fact a bunch of banks that don't like new federally-imposed limits on "swipe fees" for retail transactions involving debit cards.

What Is 'Political Intelligence'?
February 09, 2012
When I read this morning that a provision in the House ethics bill had been dropped that would have required members of the political intelligence industry to register with the federal government, I had one question. What's the political intelligence industry? The bill in question, a version of which cleared the Senate last week 96-3 with the political intelligence requirement—sponsored by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R., Iowa)—intact, would outlaw insider trading by members of Congress. Grassley wasn't pleased.
Why Did Liberal African-Americans in Rhode Island Help Pass a Voter ID Law?
February 07, 2012
At a Senate hearing on voting rights last fall, Democrat Dick Durbin pointed out that voter ID laws were nothing more than a coordinated Republican effort to block poor and minority voters from the ballot.
The Saxby Swing
April 20, 2011
When asked about Paul Ryan's deficit plan, one senator straightforwardly disapproved: "What he seeks to do is balance the budget over about a ten-year period simply by reducing spending. And you can't do that." When asked if some people were going to pay more in taxes, the senator added, "You bet." Such a response was not unique, but the source of the opinion was surprising: conservative Republican Senator Saxby Chambliss of Georgia.
Sexy Time In New Jersey
February 24, 2011
Matt Miller writes: The "truth-teller" du jour (who unveiled a tough New Jersey budget Tuesday that sensibly asks public workers to pick up more of their health and pension costs) did not have the guts to speak this particular truth. Christie merely said that Social Security's retirement age would have to be raised and Medicare would need to be tweaked lest it bankrupt us - things that less sexy pols, such as Democrats Dick Durbin and Mark Warner, have noted without anyone fainting in admiration. I agree with Miller's broader point.
Morning-After Drill
July 06, 2010
In the summer of 2008, Democrats had a serious oil problem. Just as the presidential primaries were winding down, gas prices were soaring toward $4 per gallon. Anxious voters were watching their budgets gobbled up by fuel costs, while truck drivers were protesting across the country—at one point circling the Capitol in hornhonking caravans. Republicans were dominating the message war: Newt Gingrich had just launched his "Drill Here, Drill Now" campaign, gathering more than 1.3 million signatures.
Close Call
May 10, 2010
Last Wednesday, Arkansas Senator Blanche Lincoln took to the Senate floor and delivered about as fiery a speech as you'll hear in the chamber, at least on the subject of financial reform. "Currently, five of the largest commercial banks account for ninety-seven percent of the [derivatives market]," she said.
Double Take
May 03, 2010
Miguel Estrada seemed to be a shoo-in for the federal bench. Nominated by George W. Bush to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals in 2001 when he was just 39, Estrada was born in Honduras. He arrived in the United States as a teenager speaking little English and went on to graduate from Harvard Law School and clerk for Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy. He then worked at Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz, arguably the most prestigious law firm in the nation, and, later, as an Assistant U.S.

This journey began in late 2009. It began with a rather long email that started as an intimate conversation between friends and turned into a plan to write a book together. And now the day is finally here- our book, Instant Love is done. It has pages and a spine and is sitting on book shelves. It feels so good to be able to look back and say, "we did this together." We created something that we truly love and believe in and want to share with others.
We wrote this book for you- lovers of Polaroid who want to learn how to shoot dreamy photographs filled with light and possibility. We share all we know about crafting beautiful compositions, our lighting techniques and tips on portraits. Throughout the book you will find snippets about what we love about Polaroids, the joys this love has brought us and pieces of our lives as Polaroid photographers.
And today we are super excited to share the trailer for Instant Love. We are very happy to have collaborated with Ryan Marshall to create this gorgeous video. We hope you love it!
Thanks to the band Rabbit who provided the music. The awesome song is called "Camera" and it's available here. And of course, to the amazingly talented Ryan Marshall of Pacing the Panic Room for shooting and producing the video. Thank you, Ryan!
I want to thank Jen and Susannah, our girl Amy Haney for her beautiful illustration, our awesome contributors Mia Moreno, Fernanda Montoro, Grant Hamilton, Matt Schwartz, Parul Arora, Leah Reich, and Lori Andrews, our wonderful editor Bridget, Matt, Brooke, Peter and Diane at Chronicle Books, all our models, The Impossible Project, my family and friends who have all been so supportive (like seriously amazing and out of this world supportive), and most especially my Sean who got me through those months of writing, shooting and editing without cursing at me once.
And of course, Dr Edwin Land and the original Polaroid company for giving us the opportunity to make art with these amazing cameras.
Check out the trailer and tell us what you think! You can of course find our book at Chronicle Books, Amazon, Urban Outfitters and many bookstores around the world!
p.s. If you already have Instant Love and enjoyed it, we would love it and be super thankful if you would share a review on Amazon. :)

I just finished the day out and am still in my range. I am glad about that. So today went well for the journey. We went to the doc for Tina and the doc set her an appointment up for a general surgeon in a couple of days. She tried to make it for tomorrow but couldn't. So it seems the doc thinks surgery is the only option. We asked if she needed to lose weight first but the guy we are seeing is supposed to have done a lot of these things on bigger people.
So I am thinking she is going to be having surgery soon. I am still getting used to that idea. But maybe it is for the best if she does have surgery soon. That way she can feel better quicker. But I am still worried because of her weight.
This whole thing is a real kick in the pants to get the weight off. I don't know what to think really...I just know that we need to get things going the right direction. No more slacking off.
My back seems to be getting worse and worse too. I can't sleep the whole night because of bad muscle aches. I scare people when they see me sleep apparently because I stop breathing. I stink because of the sweat between the rolls. This has to change.
For me I want this because I need it. I need to live life the way God made me to. I want to stop hurting all the time, stinking, and I want to sleep well. I need to find a way. For Tina I want this because I want her to feel the joy of not being limited. I want her to feel great in her skin and I want her to see herself as the sexy woman that I see her as.
It is time to get moving.

Hungry Jack's launches its iPhone app
The integrated mobile rewards program is designed to drive loyalty through a unique 'Shake & Win' feature.
Users can unlock freebies and discounts with a shake of their phone within a one kilometre radius of a Hungry Jack's store and have a 20 minute window to redeem their prize.
Hungry Jack's National Marketing Director, Jim Wilson, said the app is the industry's most interactive and savvy ever to be launched in Australia.
"We are the first fast food chain to integrate social media within an app that rewards customers with a sophisticated and friendly mobile experience. All users who simply 'check-in' via Facebook are guaranteed to win one of 200,000 prizes from freebies to discounted products and buy one get one free deals," said Wilson.
He said the app is part of the long-term digital strategy of Hungry Jack's and that the decision to incorporate Facebook will allow the brand to further engage with fans and reward them for doing so.
The app also features a nutritional calculator which allows customers to select multiple menu items and instantly calculate the meal's total fat in grams, sodium in milligrams, protein in grams, and energy levels in kilojoules. The app's menu function provides a full nutritional breakdown of every menu item, in addition to allergen information, ingredients and average quantities per serve.
The Hungry Jack's iPhone app is free through Apple's App Store and available for download from 18 May.

Recent Reviews
From Tingle's note at the end of the book, to the stories he tells, and Clarkson's illustrations, this book is exceptional. As I said in my earlier post today, order your copy from Cinco Puntos Press. Here, I'll say ORDER SEVERAL COPIES! And, learn more about Tim Tingle and Karen Clarkson. While you're at it, order Tingle's other books, too.
Crossing Bok Chitto
When Turtle Grew Feathers
are gems.
- DEBBIE REESE ( April 3, 2010)
For complete review visit
Looking back to his childhood, Choctaw storyteller Tingle introduces his capable, comforting Mawmaw (grandmother); recalls his shock as a six-year-old at realizing that she was blind (possibly, he learns, as a result of a racially motivated assault in her own youth); and recounts a hospital vigil years afterward when she received an eye transplant. His strong, measured prose finds able counterpart in Clarksons subtly modeled, full-bleed close-ups of eloquently expressive faces and closely gathered members of the authors large extended family.
The title comes from a word invented by Tingles father as a stand-in for any sort of pain or distress, and its use serves to enhance the vivid sense of intimacy that pervades this reminiscence. A lengthy afterword provides more details about Tingles family and Choctaw culture, and offers much to think about regarding American Indian stereotypes. - May 1, 2010
Moving back and forward in time, Tingle (Walking the Choctaw Road) offers a tribute to his grandmother, Mawmaw, in a quietly poetic story about dealing with adversity. As a young woman, Mawmaw moves from Oklahomas Choctaw Nation to Texas, where a rock thrown by a boy cuts her face, possibly causing her eventual blindness. The term saltypie, which the family uses to shrug off difficult situations, is coined after the incident by Tingles father (then a boy), who is reminded of cherry pie filling by the blood streaming down his mothers face. Years later, when a young Tingle asks why the boy threw the rock, his uncle replies, Your grandmother was Indian. That was enough back then. The story shifts forward again as the family gathers at the hospital while Mawmaw undergoes a successful eye transplant. Using a nice variety of perspectives, newcomer Clarkson conveys Mawmaws fortitude and the familys intergenerational bonds in gauzy paintings most are distinguished by strong, recognizable emotions. Ages 710.
- April 26, 2010
A grandmothers life story centers this welcome depiction of a contemporary Choctaw family. A young boys bee sting is soothed when the grandmother calls his hurt saltypie. A flashback reveals the origin of the expression: A stone malevolently thrown at a young mother injures her, and her son, thinking the blood is like pie filling, tastes it and pronounces it saltypie. When the bee-stung boy discovers his grandmothers blindness, possibly resulting from the blow, an uncle explains, You just kind of shrug it off, say saltypie. It helps you carry on. Years later, the extended family gathers in a Houston hospital, sharing its collective past while the grandmother undergoes eye surgery: No more saltypie Mawmaw can see. The grown boy realizes that his grandmother, Blind as she was taught so many how to see. Tingle provides a corrective view of contemporary Native American life, as his authors note reveals was his intent. Clarksons evocative illustrations bathe each scene in a soft light that accentuates the warmth of the familys love. (authors note) (Picture book/biography. 5-10) - April 15, 2010
K-Gr 5 Tingle tells his family's story from their origins in Oklahoma Choctaw country to their life in Texas. The account spans generations and weaves in ghosts from the past to the present day. When his grandmother and grandfather, then a young couple, arrived in Pasadena, someone threw a stone at Mawmaw, and it wasn't until the author was six that he learned that his grandmother was blind. Tingle was a junior in college when he got word that Mawmaw was having surgery. As the family gathered at the hospital, they told stories about their past, and he heard about her days as an orphan at an Indian boarding school and the discrimination she encountered living in Texas. Then they got the word they'd been waiting for: the surgery was a success, and Mawmaw could see. The large, full-spread illustrations are vibrant and vital in moving the story along. A lovely piece of family history.Sharon Morrison, Southeastern Oklahoma State University, Durant, OK

America's Next Top Animal Graphic Trend
Just as gladiator sandals and high-wasted denim shorts come and go (hopefully sooner rather than later), so too do fashionable animal trends. We all know the Portlandia joke, but real talk: Portland is only catching flack because they're still putting birds on everything. You know you bought a side bag with a bird on it a few years ago, and so did I. It's okay, EVERYONE DID! It's probably sitting in your closet next to your squirrel button, that sweet collage of deer peeking out from behind geometric shapes and those adorable kitten ballet flats and sweaters. The only times I can think of that didn't have an animal trend was that one year when everyone lost their minds over cupcakes and that other year completely dedicated to skulls & crossbones.
You may think that you suddenly love owls and wolves because you relate to their quiet, understated fierceness, but I'm willing to bet that the masterminds at the Urban Outfitters thinktank have a little something to do with it. I can only assume that long production lead times mean that right now, somewhere, there is a boardroom wall covered in images of random animals unknowingly auditioning to be America's Next Top Animal Graphic Trend. Well, board members, I'd like to have some input in what animal earmuffs I'll be stealing from my teenage sister this winter! I've narrowed my votes down to the final four. You guys can feel free to place your vote. They're all adorable, but only one animal has what it takes to be ANTAGT:
Baby Porcupine
Unlike their adult counterparts, baby porcupines look totally harmless. I love any creature that will lure you in with its adorably soft, cartoon-y sweet face, then stab hundreds of sharp needles into your skin when you try to touch it. I mean, this is pretty much how I imagined myself to be between the ages of 11 and 18, so I can totally relate. Plus, they LOVE salt, so…
Dik Dik
If Lady GaGa were to design a baby deer, I'm pretty sure it would look like this. Extra dainty legs, ant-eater nose, teacup stature. My favorite thing about dik diks is that they almost never fight. But when they must, dik diks just run towards each other only to stop short and aggressively shake their heads until somebody gives up. Is this not the animal kingdom's two snaps up?? Diva!
Long Eared Jerboa
Jerboas are pretty much mice, which means they are pretty much rats, which means they are totally disgusting. But, every "next top X" countdown needs someone to hate. Look at how ridiculously ginormous those ears are! Are we really supposed to believe those are real? Come on. And those super skinny legs?! The jerboa totally needs to eat a Snickers already, and stop talking trash about the other animals. I am seriously so eff'ng sick of her.
Fennec Fox
Hands down, this is my #1 vote. I mean, if ever a creature smiled with it's ears, it's the Fennec Fox. How cute is this little stinker?!? Apparently people keep these as pets legally in the United States. I don't know how PETA feels about that so I'm not googling breeders or anything, but I will so rock next season's fennec sweater!

The below information was referenced by Tim Jackson. The goal of this mitochondria resource page is to briefly review the basics of energy production, potential disruptions to this process, and how you can correct them. He is an expert on this subject; he has taught me a great deal about the importance of mitochondria and I asked him to share his knowledge here with all of you.
Mitochondria are relatively small cellular organelles with both an inner and outer membrane, as well as its' own DNA. The mitochondrial DNA comes only from one's mother. The number of these cellular powerhouses varies from tissue to tissue. In humans, our heart, liver and brain are all extremely dependent on mitochondrial function. While the mitochondria are responsible for several functions, we will limit our discussion to the production of ATP, or the 'energy currency of the cell'. Economic currency comes in the form of money; cellular energy comes in the form of ATP. When we hear energy, we tend to think of a 'caffeine high' or 'bouncing off the walls energy'. But what we forget is that every function in every tissue of our body requires energy. Without energy, we can't make hormones, neurotransmitters (brain chemicals), digest our food, or supply fuel to our muscles for exercise. So, what blocks our energy production, you ask?
It turns out that the process of energy production actually generates free radicals that in turn can damage the mitochondria. Because it is often challenging to get antioxidant enzymes into the mitochondria, they are very susceptible to free radical damage. In fact, anything that creates chronic inflammation in the body will cause significant damage to these cellular sparkplugs. One of the most common culprits is elevated blood sugar. High blood sugar will cause high insulin levels, resulting in large amounts of inflammation and premature aging. Other causes of mitochondrial damage include chronic infections—viruses, mycoplasma, bacteria, Lyme, etc. Remember that infections create a Cytokine Storm from the constant immune activation. Clearly, the long-term solution is to address any blood sugar issues, as well as the chronic infections. But there are other short-term options that can prove helpful.
One multi-purpose supplement that has protective properties for the mitochondria is alpha lipoic acid. Alpha lipoic acid, or ALA, consists of two chemical forms—the R form and the S form. The S version is biologically worthless. The highest quality supplements will contain only the R isomer. It is a potent anti-oxidant and is a precursor to glutathione, our body's strongest antioxidant. As an added bonus, it helps to improve our body's sensitivity to insulin and balance our blood sugar levels. In short, it possesses strong anti-aging properties. One must proceed with caution if you have a significant amount of heavy metals, since ALA will chelate metals. Lastly, ALA should always be taken with biotin.
Another unique and powerful supplement that supports mitochondrial energy production is acetyl L-carnitine. Acetyl L-carnitine, or ALCAR, is an amino acid that transports fatty acids into the mitochondria for beta oxidation. L-carnitine is synthesized naturally in the body from another amino acid, l-lysine. The difference between l-carnitine and ALCAR is that ALCAR can cross the blood-brain barrier and may help improve memory and nervous system function. As an added benefit, it may also raise levels of an important brain chemical called acetylcholine. Much like ALA, ALCAR can help to improve levels of glutathione in the body.

CHICAGO — Larry Whitfield stepped into an airport for the first time early Thursday morning and admittedly was uneasy about his first time in an airplane.
"Yeah, I'm pretty nervous to fly," the Albany State sophomore linebacker and former Monroe star said.
Something even scarier for the Albany State football team?
Flying back with a four-game losing streak.
That's what is on the line today when Albany State (1-3) plays Kentucky State (1-2) in the 16th annual Chicago Football Classic at Soldier Field, where the Rams are hoping to turn around their season and end their longest losing streak in a decade.
"We need this really bad," ASU receiver Ronnie Tubbs said. "We are desperate for a win. We are going to do whatever it takes to get this win."
After winning their season opener against North Greenville and rising to No. 16 in the Division II coaches' poll, the Rams have fallen on hard times, losing three straight games to Wingate, Elizabeth City State and Miles. ASU is on its first three-game losing streak since it started the 2002 season with three straight losses, and the Rams are in danger of going on their first single-season, four-game losing streak since 1991.
"I don't know of any other remedies to make this a great trip than getting back on the winning side," ASU coach Mike White said.
The Rams' season is on life support, teetering on the edge of disaster. It's still possible for them to turn it around, salvage an East Division title and advance to the conference championship game for the second year in a row, but the Rams can't afford any more devastating losses.
Today's must-win game might be the tipping point.
"I feel like we are close. If we're not close, then we are close to going the wrong way," ASU running back Nathan Hoyte said. "We are close to going either way. Right now, we are definitely on the back end of a landslide. If we continue to stay on this path and continue to struggle, it won't lead to anything positive. But if you go on a five- or six-game losing streak, there's no telling how anybody is going to act."
For now, however, the Rams are holding it together. With a flight to Chicago and countless festivities on the horizon, the Rams focused on just one thing during practice this week: winning.
"We are at practice now preparing for the game, so all the other stuff and the atmosphere is secondary," Whitfield said Wednesday. "Being focused on the game and what is going on in front of me on the field is what I try to do."
More than anything, the Rams need to find some cohesiveness on offense. ASU has scored just five offensive touchdowns in its first four games and is ranked outside of the Top 100 in Division II in every major offensive category — 144th in scoring offense (12.8 points per game), 130th in total offense (274 yards per game), 113th in passing offense (171.5 ypg) and 120th in rushing offense (103 ypg).
Starting quarterback David Kooi is recovering from a bruised hip, Hoyte is coming off a season-low 18 yards rushing in last week's 41-6 loss to Miles, and Tubbs, who was a preseason HBCU All-American, has just 80 yards receiving without a TD this season.
When the offense takes the field today, White said the Rams will just try to keep it simple.
"We just have to find something positive to hang our hat on over there. We are all over the place trying to find something that works," he said. "We just need to try to make the outside and inside running games and short passing game work. We need to be patient and stick with something that we think will work against Kentucky State. Like I said, I don't think this is a big-time, high-scoring offense. Not even close. We just have to be functional with the ball. We have to get first downs and score when the opportunity is there for us."
ASU and Kentucky State played in the Indianapolis Colts' Lucas Oil Stadium in the Circle City Classic last season, and the teams combined for 88 points in the Rams' 57-31 victory.
But this season, both squads have been carried by their defenses. The Rams allow 25.8 points per game, but they give up just 89.8 rushing yards (22nd in the nation) a game, while Kentucky State is No. 4 in total defense (224 yards per game), No. 9 in rushing defense (53 yards per game) and No. 39 in scoring defense (21 points per game).
But the Thorobreds, who are coming off a 27-8 loss to Stillman, also have some weapons on offense. Junior running back Justin Williams rushed for 101 yards and a TD last week, and Kentucky State outgained Stillman, 293-266, in total offense.
The Rams are 15-8 against Kentucky State and own an eight-game winning streak against the Thorobreds — but ASU isn't paying attention to the history books. All that matters right now is a victory.
"We have to focus. We don't really have a choice," White said. "We are going to have some of our leaders talk to the guys on the team and not so much the coaches. We just have to pull together and find a way to pull this game out."

As expected ever since last week, today Xiaomi held a press event unveiling a few new products. We were hoping one of these devices might turn out to be Xiaomi's mythical tablet that has been rumored for quite some time. Instead, we got only two routers and a TV box.
You might remember that a few days ago Xiaomi teased an image showing a device reminiscent of the Lenovo Yoga tablet, which came with a hinge-cum-handle. But apparently, this isn't the Xiaomi's MiPad tablet, but the company's newest router product.
The product is called the Mi Router Mini, but its specifications haven't been disclosed yet, says TechinAsia. The form factor chosen by Xiaomi is pretty odd and you can't blame us for seeing a Lenovo Yoga clone (or Apple's Magic Trackpad for that matter).
The Mi Router Mini is pretty vivid and available in a variety of color options including white, black, orange, cyan, lime and pink.
Sticking with the Apple comparison, the similarities don't end here. The fully-fledged Mi Router comes with an elongated cylindrical shape that might also summon some Apple-vibes. The wireless router supports dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11 ac and comes with 1TB embedded hard drive.
Last but not least, we have the Mi Box Enhanced Edition, which is Xioami's second try at building a TV box. Thus, the new model now supports 4K Ultra HD videos of up to 3840 x 2160 pixel resolution, bundles a 4GHz quad-core processor fitted with 2GB of RAM.
The Xiaomi Mi Router will be available for purchase for the price of $112 / €81, while the smaller Mi Router Mini ships for a meager $21 / €51. The Mi Box Enhanced Edition can be yours for just $64 / €46.
So there you have it, if you have been eagerly waiting for the fabled Xiaomi MiPad tablet, we're sorry to disappoint you once again.
Anyway, judging by the prices of the new routers and TV box, these new products should sell like crazy. Nevertheless, it would be interesting to know the specifications of the Mi Router Mini, before making the purchase.
