The following are odds and ends from the local sports scene.
Dr. Barry Sears doesn't typically work with student-athletes. Rather the Boston-based biochemist counts professional sports franchises such as the Miami Heat and Green Bay Packers and elite-level amateur competitors like Olympic swimmers Dara Torres and Jenny Thompson among his clients.
Nonetheless, Sears made a special appearance at San Clemente High on Friday afternoon to tout his Zone Diet program as it relates to helping developing athletes get the most out of their bodies and build habits to promote hormonal balance and reduce inflammation.
The premise of Sears' presentation was that many chronic illnesses, as well as weight gain and loss of strength and energy with age, can be attributed to inflammation at the cellular level that exists below the threshold of pain perception.
"I wanted to find out what I can do to perform better as an athlete," Tritons football player and shot putter Jason Wright said after attending the lecture. "I basically found out that inflammation is huge factor in how you perform. I thought it was just basically fatigue and being tired, but I never knew that inflammation was such a big factor."
Sears' nutrition program is based on maintaining the proper intake of carbohydrates, proteins and fats to achieve a proper hormonal balance along with a regimen of fish oil and intake of a particular ratio of Omega-3 to Omega-6 fatty acids.
"I'm just trying to find out what would be good for me to do to become a better athlete," San Clemente football player Miguel Lavin said. "Good nutrition, I just wanted to learn better dieting. For sure, I know what to do now."
San Clemente native David Higgins competed in the 2013 National Junior Olympic Shooting Championships (NJOSC) in Colorado Springs, Colo. On April 16-19 and won the silver medal in the men's Prone Rifle competition.
Higgins, an Air Force rifle shooter, was invited to participate in the NJOSC after an outstanding performance at the California State Junior Olympic Championships.
Higgins would battle Ryan Anderson of Fairbanks, Alaska, through all 130 shots of the Prone Rifle competition, as the two would have identical scores of 594 and 597 in each of their two relays.
The two competitors followed that up with identical 105 scores in the finals. Still tied after 130 shots, the match was decided on the 131st tie-breaker shot; Anderson shot a 10.1 while Higgins managed a 10.0.
Dyer, Greene duo rank No. 5 in league
The Saddleback Valley Christian School beach volleyball duo of Heidi Dyer of San Clemente and her partner Jaelyn Greene helped the Warriors (8-0) ascend to the No. 5 ranking in the Interscholastic Beach Volleyball League with another strong performance in a 3-0 win over Foothill at Dockweiler State Beach on Saturday.
The Warriors' No. 1 pair improved their season record to 8-0 going into the final matches of the regular season against El Camino Real and No. 3-ranked Huntington Beach at Dockweiler on Saturday.

I am wondering once we go through this process and surrogate is pregnant what are some ways that we can still develop relationship with our baby? My surrogate is a girl I used to work with and she only lives 5 minutes from us.

Hi Stacie, I am a potential future IM, and my plan (ha ha) is to be at every OB appt, and to record my and my DH's voices and have the surro play it for our baby.┬Ā I'll be THERE...so it gets to know my voice and be as hands on (literally if possible - my hands on her belly) as possible so the baby gets to know my pulse.┬Ā

I know that my friend I am carrying for has framed or posted all the ultrasound pictures in her home, comes to every OB appt, records the heartbeat each time and listens to it at home with her family, and spends a whole lot of time in the baby's nursery.┬Ā She said that being in there helps her feel connected to the baby. Luckily, we too live about 5-10 minutes apart so she has been able to see my belly grow and feel the baby move.┬Ā She will be there at delivery and hopefully will be the first face her baby sees, beside the OB of course;)

Hi! For me so far, my husband and I have gone to all the appointments, and we see them probably 2x a month because luckily our surrogate is a friend who lives about 25 minutes from us.┬Ā I also talk to her often through texting and facebook messaging, so she keeps me updated on his activity, etc.┬Ā We also just bought Belly Buds and are going to record our voices reading and talking to him, so she can play it for him.┬ĀI don't know if it will help him to kn ow our voices when he's born, but - at least we can try!┬Ā We are going to do a 3d ultrasound in a few weeks and are inviting both sets of our parents to be a part of that too - and will be great to have the dvd so we can watch it whenever we want to see him again.┬Ā When we see her next week I get to try feeling him for the first time from her belly now that he's gotten bigger, I can't wait!!

The big knock on Lillard is lack of upside. Nothing really jumps out about him other than his scoring. He has average size (6-2) and average athleticism. He will be one of the first point guards off of the board in this upcoming draft, but will he ever be able to hop into the elite group of point guards in the league? Can he become like a John Wall or Jrue Holiday? It is highly unlikely. The key for Lillard is to land on the right team in a role where he can succeed. Since he is a scorer, landing on a team where he could play a Jason Terry or Mo Williams type of role would be the best situation for him.
Grade: 6
Lillard is a player who went to a small name school and never received a great deal of hype. He has virtually no ego, which is surprising for a guy who took as many shots as he did this season. But the amount of shots he took had nothing to do with him being selfish. He was doing what he had to do for his team to be successful. As we saw with Jeremy Lin this past season, sometimes those guys who fly under the radar are the ones who are the most motivated and do whatever they can to win. It is also hard not to like Lillard when listening to him speak.
Grade: 9
Combined score: 39 out of a possible 50 points
Damian Lillard is not as elite as some of the top point guards who have came out in recent years. That does not mean he won't be a good player. One thing is for sure: Lillard can score the ball. He has a lot of question marks surrounding him since he comes from a small name school, but something tells me this guy will be around the league for a while.
Best fit: Phoenix Suns
There are a lot of teams in this year's lottery that need a point guard. If Steve Nash leaves, Phoenix will need a point guard in the worst way. Everyone knows that Phoenix will not be spending big bucks on a marquee free agent, so Lillard would make sense for them. Lillard wants to go the point guard route and Phoenix would be somewhere we he could start from Day 1 and learn the NBA point guard spot.
"At times last season, Damian Lillard looked like a man amongst boys in the Big Sky – his best was simply better than other people's best. He missed most of the 2010-11 season with a foot injury, and he used the time off to get stronger and faster, earning rave reviews for his time in the weight room. His range starts the minute he steps on the court, and he shot 41 percent from beyond the arc, making just about three per game. His offensive game is far more than just launching threes, however. He is adept at getting into the lane (and is a strong finisher) and getting to the charity stripe, as he shot over eight free throws per game last year (making 89 percent of his attempts). He will play PG in the pros, and he has the skill set for that. He averaged four assists per game, and was a willing passer. Among all elite PGs in the country last year, his turnover rate was among the best. Defensively, he is average, but he has the athletic ability to get better. He may draw comparisons to Rodney Stuckey, because of the Big Sky ties, but he is more skilled (though less athletic) than Stuckey. He is not a natural point a la Kendall Marshall, but he could be the first one off the board because he knows how to score, and he should be ready to step in and contribute from day one." –Jonathan Reed of BigSkyBBall.com
How good will Lillard be?

HTC RE camera re-imagines the mobile camera experience
HTC is indeed trying to venture out into new markets and, as expected, digital imaging is just one if its first stops. With the announcement of a slew of new products, including version 1.0 of the Zoe collaborative video editing app, a new EYE imaging experience, and the HTC Desire EYE, HTC is showing that it means serious imaging business. But perhaps nowhere does it look more serious yet at the same time somewhat "amusing", to put it nicely, than with the RE, what it bills as a "remarkable" little camera.

The Only God Forgives discusses abandoning her inhibitions for her most daring screen role to date.
Kristin Scott Thomas has been a permanent fixture on our screens for the best part of three decades. But you've never seen her like this before. Drenched in an acrid perfume of St Tropez and cigarette smoke, the typically elegant English-French actress is practically unrecognisable as Crystal, the salty matriarch to Ryan Gosling's crisis-ridden anti-hero in Nicolas Winding Refn's bloody revenge drama Only God Forgives. LWLies sat down with Scott Thomas recently to chat about creating this memorable character.
LWLies: How did your initial meeting with Nicolas Winding Refn go?
Scott Thomas: Well, when I received the script in an attachment from my agent I read a few pages of it and sent a very shirty message back saying 'You've clearly got the wrong actress. I think you should check which client this is destined for'. Turns out it was for me. So then I read it and I watched Bronson and absolutely loved it. I'm really not into violent films, but there was something so moving about it and so sort of pathetic about it, and sensual. And it's so beautifully shot, I just loved it. So Nicolas and I talked on the phone for a bit and then we met and... he's very eccentric.
How did you approach the role?
Apprehensively at first. But I was very excited. It was frightening in the beginning because she was supposed to be English but then they lost the English actor [who was later replaced by Ryan Gosling] and suddenly she was American. That really threw me. How on earth am I going to play a drug-trafficking bitch from Miami? The way to begin was to think of how I saw her and then use that, get in that way. The outside came before the inside.
How did you build the look of the character?
It was quite funny, I did a photo shoot for a fashion magazine where I was dressed up as six different people; one of them was a man, Johnny Hallyday; one of them was a woman, Donatella Versace. And when they photographed me like this, on the street, I was absolutely terrified by the way men in particular saw me, approached me, grabbed me, shouted at me... The effect on perfectly nice, ordinary middle-class men, what it did to them, was just unbelievable. So that was shock number one. Shock number two, after 15 minutes of this, was the idea that a woman would consciously, everyday, make a decision to put 10 layers of makeup on, wear the really tight skirt... To do that seemed like an act of war to me. It felt so foreign. And so that seemed like a way into this character who was afraid of nothing. It was an easy way in for me. So I sent this photograph to Nicolas and the reply I got was capital letters: 'LOVE IT!' So that was that.
What was it like filming in Asia?
I always love filming in different countries. I mean, film language is the same wherever you are, whether you're in Scotland or Thailand or Romania or South Africa... And they're very good at it over there, they've done a lot of films there. And it was an international cast and crew, all these people move around and that to me is the fun bit about it.
What is the film about for you?
It's a way of exploring these taboo situations and the horrific maternal nature she exudes. She is the nightmare. She represents everything all men are terrified of. We did a lot of Skype sessions and we'd talk about Crystal, amongst other things, and I would suggest things she could say. I'm going for it and I see all these guys' jaws drop. I think I went a bit too far on a few occasions. But Nicolas is gung-ho. His thing is, good taste is the worst enemy of creativity. It's very liberating to just think of the worst possible thing. The scene everyone's talking about is the dinner party scene where she uses a word that I can't even pronounce. I was asked the other day to translate it into French and I just couldn't do it. At the time I thought it didn't bother me and, you know, I'm an actor so just get on with it... But I did 14 takes, I just couldn't get it. After a while I realised I had a problem with the word and I thought I couldn't say it. The whole shoot was really an experiment of self. It was a seven-week therapy session.
How did the script develop during those Skype sessions?
What happened was we'd start with the script, the actors would sit down and we'd talk through it, and then we'd get on set it all shifted again because we were working within a frame and Nicolas knew what he wanted the frame to look like. But those Skype sessions were very important early on, especially in terms of finding the character. But the script changed all the time. [SPOILER ALERT] In fact, Crystal wasn't even supposed to die at the end, she was supposed to just fizzle out, so I ended up having to stay an extra week because he shots in chronological order.
Do you have a favourite line of Crystal's?
Favourite? God. There are certain lines which are so unbelievably awful I can't even bring myself to repeat them. I'm too much of a coward.

While door latches aren't a purchase that many think of often, they can be a crucial element in ensuring that your home and those in it stay safe.
Household latches come in varying designs and materials for differing levels of closure or security. For example, swing guard latches or chain latches
would be appropriate for secondary front door security, while magnetic or roller catch latch styles would be perfect cabinet door latches. There are also
specialized window and sliding door locks and latches to make sure that every access to your home is secure.
There are applications for latches in nearly every room of the house. For office spaces, cam lock latches are ideal for use on drawers and cabinets, and
are frequently used as filing cabinet locks to keep important documents secure. While, in a bedroom, ball catch latches could help secure a closet door
that won't stay shut. Smaller or simpler ones can be ideal for child proofing your home. Most people think of needing to secure their home on the outside
to keep their family safe, but it can be just as important to secure indoor spaces if you have a small child in the house. A barrel slide bolt latch, for
instance, could keep child out of a cabinets that may contain cleaning supplies or other harmful substances.
Adding extra locks and latches to your home can be a very simple project. For most latches, installation is quite easy, requiring only a couple screws
to secure each side and a couple minutes of time. And all the extra security doesn't have to cost a lot of extra money, as most latches are available for
very economical prices. In addition, ATGStores.com always offers free shipping, regardless of the order weight or total, so it couldn't be easier to get

Meanwhile, tropical lowland rainforests, the warmest forests on Earth, face a challenge that has no parallel at higher latitudes. If the current occupants of the lowlands shift uphill, tracking their accustomed climate, there are few replacements waiting in the wings, currently living in even warmer places.
According to Colwell and colleagues, the threat of lowland attrition from warming climates faces about half the species they studied in Costa Ricaunless lowland species retain tolerances to higher temperatures developed millions of years ago when the world was much warmer.
Only further research can estimate the risk, but Colwell's report indicates that the impact of global climate change on some tropical rainforest and mountain species could be significant.

Thousands Lose Power In El Dorado, Placer Counties
October 28, 2011 10:14 PM
EL DORADO COUNTY (CBS13) — Thousands of residents in both El Dorado County and Placer County lost power Friday night after transmission lines took damage, according to PG&E.
At least 16,000 people were without electricity when the outage was first reported at about 8:00 p.m., but within a few hours, that number had dropped to 12,000, mainly affecting residents north of Auburn, around Foresthill and Georgetown.
PG&E officials say they hope to restore power to most customers throughout the night but do not have a solid estimate on when all residents will have the lights back on.

CUMBERLAND – You don't have to be a parent to know that children don't get sick during business hours. And if they happen to, it isn't until today's busy parents come home from work that they invariably find out about it and start looking for medical attention.
And so Dr. Peter Yasigian was often needed in the office until seven or eight o'clock at night, tending to the usual afflictions of his pediatric caseload, from sore throats and sprains to coughs and croup.
There had to be a better way.
WOONSOCKET – The city won't be getting any additional school funding from the state in the near future, at least not through legal action.
That was the outcome of a successful move by the state to block the city from winning a hearing on its school funding lawsuit in Superior Court.
Judge Nettie C. Vogel on Thursday issued a 31-page decision ruling in favor of the state's motion to dismiss the case filed by both the Woonsocket and Pawtucket school districts while noting earlier court decisions to the same effect.
PAWTUCKET — Starting on Monday, television commercials for new cars, fast food restaurants and Schtickies will be joined by spots urging you to approve table games such as blackjack, craps and roulette at Lincoln's Twin River gambling emporium.
Boasting that Twin River is "doing extremely well" and growing revenue while much larger casinos in the region are struggling, CEO John Taylor shared the company's strategy to expand to table games with the Pawtucket Rotary Club Thursday.

BUT Bruce didn't come out and tie him to the train himself, did he? He also specifically said that he didn't have to save him...IS THAT the same as snapping someones neck?!?!?

Sometimes being the Hero means you have to do something that is against your morality. Superman made the choice to kill and live with that guilt for the rest of his life in the same way Batman refused to save Ra's in Begins because some EVIL cannot be reasoned with.

DRESDEN, Germany | President Obama's decision to scrap a land-based missile-defense system has sent expectations soaring among U.S. allies in Europe of some sort of thaw in Russia's often chilly ties with the West.
Some such as German Chancellor Angela Merkel spoke in general terms about a new era of cooperation with Russia. Others such as NATO's new secretary-general, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, spoke of possible integration of Russian and NATO technology.
"We should explore the potential for linking the U.S., NATO and Russia missile-defense systems at an appropriate time," Mr. Rasmussen said. "Both NATO and Russia have a wealth of experience in missile defense. We should now work to combine this experience to our mutual benefit."
There was praise from Russia as well, as if the new American president had acquiesced to a long-sought demand by Moscow.
That left it to Mr. Obama himself to dampen expectations Sunday while appearing on the television talk show circuit.
"My task here was not to negotiate with the Russians," Mr. Obama told CBS News. "The Russians don't make determinations about what our defense posture is."
Since the U.S. announcement on Thursday, speculation gripped Europe over Mr. Obama's decision to replace a land-based anti-missile system in Poland and the Czech Republic aimed at long-range rockets with one initially based at sea and targeted at short-range missiles.
Europeans were hopeful that Russia would respond by supporting tougher sanctions against Iran and will not take advantage of the move to flex its influence in Eastern Europe.
So far, however, there is no little evidence of a seismic shift in relations between Washington and Moscow. Moscow did announce Saturday that it will not station short-range missiles near Poland — a deployment that Russia had threatened if the U.S. went ahead with a land-based missile defense plan.
President Dmitry Medvedev chose to be positive and straightforward, calling Mr. Obama's decision to abandon sites in Poland and the Czech Republic a "responsible move."
"Iran must cooperate with IAEA, that's for sure, if they want to develop their nuclear energy program. It is their duty, not a choice. Otherwise, indeed, the question will be asked always, what are they up to after all? That's very clear," Mr Medvedev told CNN.
Prime Minister Vladimir Putin called the U.S. plan a "right and brave decision." But instead of offering a hint of what Russia might do to reciprocate, as his Western counterparts expected, he demanded more such actions from Washington.
To make sure there was no misunderstanding, he cited specific concessions he wants from the Obama administration: lifting U.S. restrictions on transfers of sensitive technology to Russia and U.S. support for membership in the World Trade Organization (WTO) not only for Russia, which the George W. Bush administration backed, but also for former Soviet republics Belarus and Kazakhstan.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton tried again to convince doubters of Mr. Obama's motivation that they are misguided. "This decision was not about Russia. It was about Iran, and the threat that its ballistic missile program poses," she said Friday at the Brookings Institution.
National security adviser James L. Jones told The Washington Times on Saturday that the decision was driven by U.S. intelligence concerns over Iran's rapid development of short-range missiles. Mr. Jones did, however, concede the possibility of "an ancillary benefit" in overall U.S.-Russia relations.
Daryl Kimball, executive director of the Arms Control Association, said: "At most, I think the shelving of the Bush [plan] in Europe will remove an irritant in the U.S.-Russian relationship and allow the two sides to focus on areas of common concern and interest."
However, Andrew Kuchins, director of the Russia program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, said that, "while the decision is not mainly about Russia, to say it has nothing to do with Russia is simply disingenuous."
"If Russia does not come on board on Iran," he said in reference to tougher U.N. sanctions sought against Tehran for refusing to come clean on its nuclear program, "then essentially it means the 'reset' is over."
The Obama administration has said repeatedly that it wants to reset the U.S.-Russia relationship after serious tensions during the Bush administration.
"Russian intransigence on Iran will turn Congress, rightly or wrongly, totally against arms-control deals and WTO deals with them, and I hope they have no illusions about that," Mr. Kuchins said.
"I don't think the Kremlin is as unabashedly pleased about this so-called 'concession' as conventional wisdom holds, nor that their default response is simply to pocket the concession and not at least try to create impression of some quid pro quo on Iran," he said.
Jackson Janes, executive director of the American Institute for Contemporary German Studies, said the debate about whether Mr. Obama "caved in" to the Russians "will unfortunately be caught up in a lot of other political wrangling."
"However that unfolds in Washington over the coming months - and much will depend on Russia's response to this move - there ought to be an energized debate in Europe about its ability to produce a viable defense strategy against threats," he said.
So far, the only thing Moscow has indicated it would do differently because of Mr. Obama's decision is not to base short-range missiles along its western border, close to Poland and the Czech Republic.
Russia vehemently opposed Mr. Bush's plan despite assurances from Washington - and from Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates, who was appointed by Mr. Bush - that the proposed shield and interceptors were not aimed at Russia. Moscow was convinced that the Iran threat was a pretext that would have allowed the U.S. to attack Russia and countered any Russian response.
Mr. Kuchins said that, apart from the debate about Russia, "there is significant positive political payoff with countries like Turkey and the Middle East states, which have become significantly concerned about Iran and will be pleased to see we are taking serious measures that benefit their security - and this is not just Israel."
"That may well undercut some of Moscow's aspirations to be more significant player in the Middle East," he said.

A Lost Soul.Written to Jesus on July 7th, 2013
Oh Lord, I feel everything falling apart. Life as it is, just turning into a black sheet just as if I don't have hope or purpose to live. I blame myself. I've always turned away from You when clearly You're standing right by me. I've seen the signs, but somehow I just start falling down the path of darkness again. I don't know what to do. I only seek for You to give me the strength to overcome evil and to be with You for eternity. I Want to be able to find Love. Love with You. I've been jobless for so long. I just feel so useless. All I ask for is for You to show me the light and I pray that day will come. I want to see you. Appear in my dreams and speak to me. Tell me everything is Okay. Help Me.

Szklarska Poreba Things to Do
Things to do in Szklarska Poreba
There are many beautiful sites in szklarska poreba. Pretty little village with a main road with many little cafes and shops along. (remember to go in the cake shops)
My favourite places had to be the waterfalls. Wodospad Kamieńczyk and Wodospad Szklarka are two naturally occuring waterfalls. There is a moving rock called 'chybotek' which is rather scary to walk on, but still fun.
The best thing to do is to just spend a day walking in the mountains. Take a cable car half way up, then walk through forest and rocks to the top where an amazing view waits for you. At the top there is a wonderful cafe as a pit stop. The walk down takes you through more forest and small streams. Amazing place for photos on a nice day. From the top of Mt. Szrenica you can see villages and towns many kms away.Related to:

RS200 Club Championship 2008 at Northampton SC
Sunshine and light winds greeted the competitors for the Gul sponsored RS200 Club Championships at Northampton SC with a depleted entry due to the light wind forecast.
Race 1 started in challenging conditions with John Teague/Iain Millar leading from Julie Harrison/Fiona Hall, until the final leeward mark when Paul and Corrine Whitbread pulled through to take second from Julie Harrison/Fiona Hall in a photo finish followed by Caroline Martin/Sam Childs in fourth and Rosie and Tom Brearley in fifth.
A quick turnaround by the race team saw race two start in similarly light conditions, Julie Harrison/Fiona Hall led to the first windward mark with the rest of the fleet close on their heels, John Teague/Iain Millar pulled through downwind closely followed by Caroline Martin/Sam Childs to hold on to the finish with Rosie and Tom Brearley in third position followed by Julian Bradley/Lesley Bates in fourth and Julie Harrison/Fiona Hall in fifth.
A third race was attempted but the wind completely disappeared before the start, giving the race team no choice but to send the fleet ashore. The bar, evening sun and an excellent meal rounded off the day.
Sunday dawned with yet more sun, and even less wind. The occasional gust of wind kept the competitors on their toes ashore, but a consistent wind proved elusive so the race team wisely called it a day.
This gave John Teague/Iain Millar victory with Caroline Martin/Sam Childs taking second and Rosie and Tom Brearley in third on equal points with Julie Harrison/Fiona Hall in fourth and Paul and Corrine Whitbread in fifth.
The prize for the top club went to Burghfield who won a days coaching for their club from a top 200 coach. Many thanks must go to Northampton SC for a friendly and welcoming event in challenging conditions, and to Gul, LDC and the RS class association for some generous prizes.

Poster presentation
Self-organized critical (SOC) systems are complex dynamical systems that may express cascades of events, called avalanches [1]. The SOC state was proposed to govern brain function, because of its activity fluctuations over many orders of magnitude, its sensitivity to small input and its long term stability [2,3]. In addition, the critical state is optimal for information storage and processing [4]. Both hallmark features of SOC systems, a power law distribution f(s) for the avalanche size s and a branching parameter (bp) of unity, were found for neuronal avalanches recorded in vitro [5]. However, recordings in vivo yielded contradictory results [6]. Electrophysiological recordings in vivo only cover a small fraction of the brain, while criticality analysis assumes that the complete system is sampled. We hypothesized that spatial subsampling might influence the observed avalanche statistics. In addition, SOC models can have different connectivity, but always show a power law for f(s) and bp = 1 when fully sampled. This may not be the case under subsampling, however. Here, we wanted to know whether a state change from awake to asleep could be modeled by changing the connectivity of a SOC model without leaving the critical state.
We simulated a SOC model [1] and calculated f(s) and bp obtained from sampling only the activity of a set of 4 × 4 sites, representing the electrode positions in the cortex. We compared these results with results obtained from multielectrode recordings of local field potentials (LFP) in the cortex of behaving monkeys. We calculated f(s) and bp for the LFP activity recorded while the monkey was either awake or asleep and compared these results to results obtained from two subsampled SOC model with different connectivity.
f(s) and bp were very similar for both the experiments and the subsampled SOC model, but in contrast to the fully sampled model, f(s) did not show a power law and bp was smaller than unity. With increasing the distance between the sampling sites, f(s) changed from "apparently supercritical" to "apparently subcritical" distributions in both the model and the LFP data. f(s) and bp calculated from LFP recorded during awake and asleep differed. These changes could be explained by altering the connectivity in the SOC model.
Our results show that subsampling can prevent the observation of the characteristic power law and bp in SOC systems, and misclassifications of critical systems as sub- or supercritical are possible. In addition, a change in f(s) and bp for different states (awake/asleep) does not necessarily imply a change from criticality to sub- or supercriticality, but can also be explained by a change in the effective connectivity of the network without leaving the critical state.

Brief Synopsis
In order to better understand the character and enduring attributes of the position of Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and inform future Defense reform initiatives in the post 9/11 era, the author traces the Chairman's evolving role since the inception of the position during World War II through the Goldwater-Nichols reforms of the 1980s. Although Defense reformers often focus on more efficient business and budgeting practices, his narrative compels greater consideration of the value of apolitical military advice, civilian direction of policy, and legislative oversight on the military instrument of power. The position of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, supported by a dedicated Joint Staff, remains relevant and crucial in a security environment where technology is extending the capabilities and reach of both state and nonstate actors. Arguably, the need to transcend a single service, capability, or regional perspective is even more essential today than it was when Congress formulated Goldwater-Nichols almost 20 years ago.
