The Phillies will look to do something they haven't done all season this evening: beat the Braves at Citizens Bank Park -- 0-4. In fact, the Phillies have lost seven in a row overall to Atlanta and eight of their last nine. The last time they beat the Braves at CBP the calendar read 2011. Philly futility against Atlanta may tell you a bit about why the Braves are leading contenders for a wild card berth and the Phillies are attempting to not finish in last place.
On the bright side, the Phillies turn to Cole Hamels (11-6, 3.34) this evening. He'll go up against Braves lefty Mike Minor (6-7, 5.01).
Dom Brown is once again penciled in the two-hole despite the Braves starting a left-hander. As CSN's "What you need to know" points out, Minor doesn't exactly kill lefties. Could this be Charlie Manuel's first step in testing the lanky youngster in an everyday-type role?
What else are you watching for when you tune into Phillies games at this point in the season?
7:05 from the Bank. Will it sell out?
Tonight's lineup:
Tonight's lineup vs. ATL: Rollins SS, Brown LF, Utley 2B, Howard 1B, Mayberry CF, Kratz C, Schierholtz RF, Frandsen 3B, Hamels P.

The funeral services for Adrian Morris, a Prince George's County police officer who died last week during a highway chase, could impact traffic Tuesday.
Morris, 23, was pursuing suspects in an attempted break-in when his cruiser ran off Interstate 95 and into a ravine. He was pronounced dead at a hospital.
There is a viewing at Borgwardt Funeral Home (4400 Powder Mill Rd., Beltsville) on Monday from 2 to 4 p.m. and again from 7 to 9 p.m.
The funeral is Tuesday at 10 a.m., with a viewing scheduled for 9 a.m. It is being held at Woodstream Church at 9800 Lottsford Rd., Mitchellville, with a burial to follow at Lakemont Memorial Gardens at 900 West Central Ave. in Davidsonville.
Police are expecting a lot of traffic Tuesday, with officers from around the region and elsewhere coming to the service.
The funeral procession will occur in multiple parts Tuesday. First, the motorcade will head from the funeral home in Beltsville to the nearby police station. The procession will follow Powder Mill Road to Cavalry Avenue and make a left, followed by a left onto Montgomery Road and another left onto Sellman Road to drive by the police station.
After driving by the station, the procession will take back roads to the church in Mitchellville. (There is a direct path that would involve taking the Beltway, but the police are using back roads to avoid blocking the Beltway.)
There will be rolling roadblocks accompanying the motorcade, with roadways closing to accommodate the mourners as they proceed through the area. These won't be long-term closures, as they should be lifted once the procession has moved through.
After the church, the motorcade will head east to the cemetery in Davidsonville. The procession will take Ruby Lochart Boulevard before making a right turn onto Lottsford Road, a left onto Landover Road and then merging onto eastbound Central Avenue en route to the cemetery.
Again, expect delays around these areas. Try to avoid these spots if possible.

This is my third treatment with Botox. In the first 2 treatments, I was wrinkle-free for about 6 months. This time, it only softened my wrinkles. Why? Was I not injected with enough? Or in the right place? When I called to ask questions at my plastic surgeon's office, their comment was I have not given the Botox enough time to take affect. It has been almost 2 weeks.
Why Did Wrinkles Only Softened After Third Botox Treatment?
Doctor Answers 4
Why Did Wrinkles Only Softened After Third Botox Treatment?
Wrinkles are likely to soften even after the first Botox treatment because the muscle tension around them is abolished for the duration of the Botox affectiveness. They won't completely disappear because of the permanent collegen damage in the skin, caused by many years of muscle action folding the skin.
Timing is everything, especially in Botox
Injecting Botox is actually more complicated and technical than many people realize, both lay person and physicians. The way Botox works is temporarily weakening muscles to soften them by blocking a neurotransmitter. What I have observed is that Botox affects people differently. In some people, Botox will last 2 months, in others 8 months.
The key issue with Botox is to get a followup treatment early enough so that your lines have not returned. The rationale behind this is that Botox will have a cummulative or additive effect with each treatment.
From what you have described, Botox was effective and you waited for lines to wear off as your sign for a return for more treatment. It is better to return for treatment based on movement rather than line formation. The effects can be outstanding by having each subsequent treatment better than the previous treatment.

Schedule a follow up appointment for Botox assessment
It is great that you notified your plastic surgeon. Although I would generally consider 2 weeks adequate, you may want to ask what they consider adequate amount of time and then schedule a follow up visit for them to evaluate your response.
You might also like...
The maximum effect of BOTOX is in 2 weeks.
If you haven't seen the results you're used to after 2 weeks, they're not likely going to come. You may have received less units this time.
You should make a follow up with your doctor. Dose-adjustments are very common. I like to see all of my BOTOX patients in 7 to 14 days, and I don't charge for dose adjustments.
If your doc wants to charge $100 or less to inject more product (at cost), and make you look great, then go for it.
I hope this helps, and best regards.

Fernando Torres: I wanted to play Atletico
Fernando Torres has expressed his disappointment at being unable to face former side Atletico Madrid in this week's Europa League semi-final.
• Reyes: Aguero the bigger loss
Torres had surgery in Barcelona on Sunday night to repair damaged cartilage in his right knee, a problem that resurfaced after a similar operation in January.
He told his official website: "I really wanted to play against Atletico. I wanted to come back and say hello to people because for me this tie is special."
Torres would liked to have travelled with his team-mates to Madrid this week but is focused on his recovery. He said: "I cannot do it for the recovery process. Every day counts now."
Due to the ash cloud over Europe, Torres only just made it to Barcelona in time for the operation. He said: "On Saturday they cancelled the flight and in half an hour we had to organise the trip. It was very difficult, but luckily we got a ticket to cross the Channel Tunnel. The trip was an adventure.
"I arrived in Barcelona at 8.30pm on Sunday, with barely time to shower in the hotel and go to the clinic where I met Dr. Cugat. Three hours later I had the operation."
Torres is due to be sidelined for up to six weeks, making him a major doubt for the World Cup, but Torres remains confident that he will be fit.
He said: "The World Cup is more important now. The timing of the injury has been complicated and the penalty is not to have played more games and scored more goals. I have waited four years and I do not plan to miss out. Today I'm starting to work."

Two North Platte men will do 60 days in jail after they each pled guilty to domestic assault Thursday in Lincoln County Court.
In a plea agreement with the Lincoln County Attorneys Office a charge of false reporting against McCarthy was dropped. He also received credit for six days already served. However, he is also being held as a fugitive from justice from Lancaster County which carries a $3,500 bond.
Jay Shrives, 54, pled guilty to simple domestic assault and was sentenced to 60 days with nine days credit.
On Jan. 1 Shrives and his intimate partner argued and Jay pushed her head down and slapped her, causing a cut on her nose, police said. Shrives was jailed and held on a $5,000 bond.
The case of Jeremy Tobey, 29, of North Platte, was continued to allow time for a public defender to be appointed.
Tobey is charged with three counts of domestic assault, terroristic threats, strangulation and use of a weapon to commit a felony, as well as child abuse. He is held on a $100,000 bond.
Tobey asked for a bond reduction, which was denied.
Lincoln County Judge Kent Turnbull recused himself from the case. He said Tobey once dated his daughter.
County Judge Michael Piccolo will consider the charges after an attorney is appointed for Tobey.

Please Don't Cry
Public crying has to pass some pretty stringent tests to get my approval. I don't think of myself as stoical, nor, certainly, would anyone who knows me; I moan and complain to a gold standard. But I have an aversion to crying in front of strangers, even familiars, and especially those waiting for me to do so – those boxes of tissues that shrinks have, and push forward as a spur to tearing up, for example, make a desert of me. I was once invited to cry in front of the whole school for my wrongdoing, but chose to make my inner cheek bleed in preference.
I can sort of see the point of crying on achievement after enormous effort, and even feel the prick in my own eye. But mine was, apparently, the only dry eye in the country (both countries, Scotland and 'Britain') at the tearfulness displayed by Andy Murray on losing a Wimbledon final. Not achieving something after an enormous effort is wretched, of course, but it's a miserable response to take the emotional high ground because someone has done better than you. I've never liked Federer more (which isn't saying much) than when he smiled sympathetically at Murray's tears and went on to say that he was very pleased he won and that he (Federer) had played very well to do so. We train children to cope with disappointment and not to cry when they lose, for their own sake, and because they'll get on with getting better, if that's possible.
'It's not the money, it's not the fame. It's history,' the BBC announced before the final. But it's only not the money and fame because both Federer and Murray have them both in quantity. Actually, it looks as if the next thing, when there's nothing left but records to break, isn't so much history, as a desire for public adoration.
I never did mind Murray being dour, or rather, reticent, as if his affect was any of my business, anyway. I hated the satisfaction of the commentators, all of them everywhere, who breathed great sighs of relief as the tears came and the voice choked. I've enjoyed the awkwardness of people having to support someone who appeared not to care whether he was liked or not. Watching the on-screen crying jag was like seeing someone who has known that a well is poisoned, but finally given up and drunk from it, because everyone else in the village does. Those whoops of satisfaction and banalities of 'Murray hasn't lost, he's won the hearts of the people' are the same kind of sentimental sadism that requires pointless public apologies rather than enforcing serious remedial action from bankers and politicians.

TAMPA — On the other side of the hot glass window and sturdy iron bars, Julius Henderson heard his neighbors' screams.
Frantic, he tried to pry open the burglar-barred front door as the little white house on Chipco Street burned. But it was no use, and the voices inside were getting slower and more slurred.
"It was terrifying, especially to know you have people in there that you care about," said Henderson, who joined other neighbors in breaking windows through the bars to let in air.
Firefighters finally arrived and were able to pull out Mary Jones, 73, Willie Bynes, 69, and Jones' granddaughter Latoya Williams-Jones, 26.
Williams-Jones, the last to be carried out, was unconscious. She and Bynes were taken to Tampa General Hospital's burn unit. Jones was taken to St. Joseph's Hospital.
The Fire Marshal's Office said the fire was caused by a space heater too close to a couch, and the family's smoke alarms had no batteries. Damage was estimated to be more than $100,000.
Capt. Bill Wade, a Tampa Fire Rescue spokesman, said the family would have likely escaped on their own if it hadn't been for the burglar bars, which had no quick-release levers.
Jones' brother, Al Givens, recalled the first time he saw the burglar bars on his sister's home more than 20 years ago. "I told them, 'That's a death trap.' "
"They try to keep crooks out of there, but they're making it bad for themselves," said Givens, 80, as he stood outside the burned home Monday.
Florida building and fire codes require that each sleeping room contain two means of escape — a door and a window. If burglar bars are installed, there must be a way to remove them without a key, and there must be smoke alarms in the home. A house is out of compliance if it has burglar bars without a quick-release mechanism, Wade said.
But Harold Scott, a code enforcement officer for the district of Monday's fire, said enforcing that rule is tough.
If a property is kept in good condition, as this one was, code enforcement would have no reason to inspect the property, Scott said. And while an ordinance requires contractors to get permits to install burglar bars, that doesn't always happen. Scott didn't know whether, at the time Jones had the bars installed, the current rules were in place.
Bynes and Williams-Jones were both in critical condition Monday and Jones was in serious condition, according to hospital representatives.
Jones, a teacher for about 40 years, tutors kids in the neighborhood, said Don Lee, 49, one of her former students from St. Peter Claver Catholic School. He stopped by the burned home Monday.
"Even though she retired, she never retired," Lee said. "She never stopped teaching."
Lee said Bynes is "the man of the house." He took care of maintenance and made sure there were no brown spots in the lawn. Williams-Jones works at a doctors' office, Lee said.
Henderson said his family and Jones' family have been neighbors for more than 30 years. "We're real close. We watch out for one another," he said.
Henderson's father was taking out the trash at about 6:30 a.m. Monday when he saw the house across the street on fire. Henderson rushed outside.
"It was just real intense," he said, holding a paper towel to his bloody wrist several hours later.
Henderson had a few minor cuts on his hands and needed a tetanus shot, but brushed aside any praise for trying to save his neighbors.
"I'm not a hero. No, I don't think so. When there are people in need, you just try to help them," Henderson said.

BARCELONA, Spain--Sprint Nextel (NYSE:S) signed a deal with M2M enabler RACO Wireless to use the company's M2M platform and allow RACO's customers access Sprint's CDMA and LTE networks. The deal is significant because since May 2011 RACO has been T-Mobile USA's primary M2M provider.
According to John Horn, president of RACO Wireless, the company originally was exclusive to T-Mobile USA, not contractually, but just because of the nature of the M2M business. However, now it believes it makes sense to offer its customers a choice of carriers and network platforms. "This doesn't mean we are moving away from T-Mobile," Horn said. "It doesn't change our relationship with T-Mobile."
Horn said that many of RACO's clients want to have multiple operators so that they do not become dependent upon one carrier. He added that there will be different pricing depending upon which operator an M2M client wants to use. "Our cost structure is not the same with the carriers," he said. "But we won't pit one carrier against the other. That is not our objective."
RACO also inked a deal with Latin American operator Telefonica and will be able to offer customers access to that market in addition to the United States and Europe (through its relationship with Everything Everywhere).
Last October, private equity firm Inverness Graham Investments invested in RACO with the intent of helping the firm grow its business and acquire other M2M firms and technologies.

Signing Day 2013 is upon us. Each year on the first Wednesday of February, high school players can sign their letter of intent and make it official which school they will attend. As always Southern California is loaded with top high school prospects and here is a list of some names that you will be seeing a lot of in the next few years at the collegiate level, headlined by none other than the USA Today All-USA Defensive Player of the Year, Su'a Cravens.
QuarterbackHeadliner: Hayden Rettig,Cathedral High School, Los Angeles
Under The Radar Player to Keep an Eye On: Nick Stevens, Vista Murrieta High School
Rettig headlines a solid class of quarterbacks coming out of the Southland. He rebounded from a torn ACL early in his junior season by throwing for 3400+ yards and 40 touchdowns in his senior campaign. Rettig is a strong armed pro-style drop back passer who will head to LSU. Troy Williams is the 2nd best quarterback in the state, yet is the top dual-threat quarterback in the nation. He led his Narbonne Gauchos squad to the Open Division State Regional Bowl and will enroll at Washington in time for spring practice. Stevens is a name to keep an eye on, a pro style quarterback with a long, lanky frame that can be developed. He will head to Colorado State to play Jim McElwain and compete for a starting job with three current players, who have yet to establish themselves as the full-time starter.
Running BackHeadliner: Terrell Newby, Chaminade High School, West Hills
Under The Radar Player to Keep an Eye On: Joseph Ajeigbe, Norco High School
The running back position is in a down year in Southern California in the class of 2013. Newby is small in stature but is a work horse back that headlines the group with ability to break tackles. He is also very quick in the open field. He will head to Nebraska. Terrell has the potential to be a 3 down back for the Huskers. Craig Lee is the second best back in Southern California. The Redlands standout heading to UCLA is versatile and has breakaway speed and good balance. Duke might have found a hidden gem in the Inland Empire in Ajeigbe, a smaller but powerful running back from one of the best systems for a running back in Southern California under Toby Gerhart's father Todd at Norco. He rushed for 1505 yards this past season.
Wide ReceiverHeadliner: Steven Mitchell, Alemany High School, Mission Hills
Under The Radar Player to Keep an Eye On: Bryce Bobo, Charter Oak High School, Covina
Southern California is loaded this year at the wide receiver position and Mitchell is the best of that bunch. The talented wide out is a skilled route runner who catches very well with his hands. Mitchell will head to USC and is in the mold of former Trojan standouts Keary Colbert and Steve Smith, a player who isn't the biggest or the fastest but does all the little things right to be successful. Tyree Robinson of Lincoln in San Diego in my opinion is the 2nd best receiver in the State. He is one half of the talented dual sport identical twins that will play football and walk on to the basketball team in college. They decided this morning to stick with Oregon. Robinson is a raw, athletically gifted wideout could be the best player in this class down the road.
Bobo is a speedy wide out, with good size at 6'3. Bryce is part of coach Mike MacIntyre's first recruiting class at Colorado, he has the potential to have early playing time on a team that is young on the outside as he joins standout Paul Richardson, who missed this season due to injury and former Westlake star Nelson Spruce, who saw solid playing time as a true freshman.
Tight EndHeadliner: Marcus Baugh, JW North High School, Riverside
Under The Radar Player to Keep an Eye On: Mat Boesen, West High School, Torrance
The future Ohio State Buckeye, Baugh is a versatile pass catching threat from the tight end position. Urban Meyer came into the IE and plucked out 5 star Ronald Powell a few years ago at Florida and he did that once again with the 4 star Baugh. He has the build of a starting Big 10 tight end, a physical kid who can make plays and will put on weight to his frame to become a better blocker. Thomas Duarte is the second best tight end in Southern California in my opinion. The Mater Dei standout, headed to UCLA, could also be classified as a bigger wide receiver. He has great hands and, similar to Baugh, a good frame to put weight on. Both players can be a traditional hand in the ground tight end and can flex out and line up as a slot wide receiver. Boesen, headed to Boise State, is a physical tight end, who can really block and could transition into a a fullback in college.
Offensive Tackle Headliner: Nico Falah, St. John Bosco High School, Bellflower
Under The Radar Player to Keep an Eye On: Erik Bunte, Mission Viejo High School
Falah narrowly edges Cameron Hunt for the headliner of the offensive tackle class. He is an athletic tackle who has the frame to put weight on over time. It will be interesting to see how good Falah, a US Army All American, can become when he puts on weight to compliment his excellent technique and quickness. Hunt is a player I first saw as a sophomore getting playing time on a loaded Centennial squad. He has since developed and is a physical kid with a mean streak in him. He will likely head to Oregon. Bunte has had busy year ranging from transferring to de-committing. He has since found a home at CAL, he has guard size but the flexibility and foot quickness to play tackle.
Offensive GuardHeadliner: John Lopez, Orange Lutheran High School
Under The Radar Player to Keep an Eye On: Emerald Faletuipapai, Serra High School, Gardena
Lopez is the top offensive guard in Southern California and has the potential to be a starter down the road for UCLA. The future Bruin has elite size, 6'6 315, that with a redshirt year to shape his body and get stronger can become a mainstay on the offensive line for years to come. Alex Redmond of Los Alamitos will join Lopez as part of a loaded UCLA offensive line class. Redmond is a big offensive lineman with good feet. Faletuipapai has been a mainstay on the Serra offensive line for years. The mammoth offensive guard will head to Houston and has the potential to be very good for the Cougars as he develops his body and technique.
CenterHeadliner: Scott Quessenberry, La Costa Canyon High School, Carlsbad
Quessenberry is the number 5 center in the nation and top in the state. The younger brother of San Jose State standout offensive lineman David, who recently had a huge Senior Bowl, is much more advanced at this stage than his older brother. He is a versatile kid, who has the size and quickness to potentially play all three offensive line positions.
Defensive EndHeadliner: Kylie Fitts, Redlands East Valley High School
Under The Radar Player to Keep an Eye On: Fred Melifonwu, Lincoln High School, San Diego
Fitts edged out Joe Mathis of Upland for the top spot. Fitts has prototypical size for a defensive end, and the quickness, and motor to play the run and rush the passer. He decided on Tuesday night to attend UCLA. Mathis, however is solid to Washington as he announced at the US Army All American Game. Jo Jo is very strong and has the size to play both end and tackle at the next level. Melifonwu is an interesting prospect to keep an eye on. He is a quick, raw defensive end prospect that could develop into something special with time. He will stay home and attend San Diego State.
Defensive TackleHeadliner: Kenneth Clark, Rialto High School
Under The Radar Player to Keep an Eye On: Travis Miller, Simi Valley High School
Clark is the prototypical strong side defensive tackle in UCLA's scheme. Clark is an active player who can who can add weight and strength to be an impact player for the Bruins to go along with his good motor. Tustin's David Maka is the 2nd best defensive tackle in the region. The Arizona bound lineman has the size to play on both sides of the ball as a nose guard and center. Miller is a rising prospect, who parlayed a nice senior year at Simi into a scholarship joining his former teammate, freshman tight end Jordan Thiel in San Jose.
Outside LinebackerHeadliner: Tyrell Robinson, Lincoln High School, San Diego
Under The Radar Player to Keep an Eye On: Gabe Perez, Valencia High School, Placentia
The other half of the talented twins, Tyrell Robinson is the top outside linebacker in Southern California. He is also athletically gifted and very instinctive. He can play the run and is a sure tackler in addition to being able to use his exceptional quickness in pass coverage. He along with his brother will go to the same school and announced this morning that they will stick with Oregon. The fact that they both are this good, while splitting time and playing a lot of basketball is a testament to how good both Tyrell and Tyree can be if they focus exclusively on football.
Cameron Judge falls in a long line of impact players from Oaks Christian. He is an aggressive weak-side linebacker, who is a big time hitter. He will decide between Arizona State and UCLA on signing day. Boise State came into So Cal and nabbed a prospect that was hardly on anyone's radar in Perez, a raw defensive end prospect who will play outside linebacker in college. This might be a steal in a few years.
Inside LinebackerHeadliner: Viliami Latu, Rancho Cucamonga High School
Under The Radar Player to Keep an Eye On: George Frazier, Monrovia High School
If you liked reading about twins so far, you will like the Latu twins. Viliami is the top inside linebacker in Southern California, while A.J. is more of an outside backer. Viliami is a physical kid who looks for contact and finishes through tacklers. He is a punishing linebacker. The twins have committed to Arizona State. Frazier is a Mike MacIntyre type player - physical, quick, and versatile enough to excel at multiple positions. Thus it was no surprise to see him stick with his commitment to Colorado. Frazier can play outside and inside linebacker in Colorado's scheme in the Pac 12. Mac came in the San Gabriel Valley 3 years ago and nabbed Keith Smith, who was a 3-year starter for him. It would not surprise me if Frazier has similar success.
CornerbackHeadliner: Chris Hawkins, Rancho Cucamonga High School
Under The Radar Player to Keep an Eye On: Dionza Blue, Bishop Amat High School, La Puente
Similar to wide receiver, Southern California is loaded with cornerbacks. Hawkins is the top cornerback in Southern California, as he followed up a good senior year with an impressive week in San Antonio at the US Army All American Game. He has impressive feet and is very fluid transitioning in coverage. Hawkins has already enrolled at USC and will take part of spring practice. Jermaine Kelly of Salesian in Los Angeles de-committing from UCLA and heading to Washington shows how well Steve Sarkisian and his staff recruit LA. Kelly is a tall, rangy, athlete who could potentially play cornerback and safety for the Huskies. Chris Peterson might have flipped himself a starting cornerback as he convinced Blue to de-commit from Fresno State. Dionza has good ball skills and can be a lock down corner down the road.
SafetyHeadliner: Su'a Cravens, Vista Murrieta High School
Under The Radar Player to Keep an Eye On: David Price, Long Beach Polytechnic High School
Southern California's finest position group is the safety position. The number 1, 2 and 4 players in the state are safeties from the Southland. The top safety in the nation is Cravens, a physical, fluid athlete, who makes tackles and plays. He is the most instinctual football player I have seen at this level in my young early 20s life. Cravens has enrolled at USC already for spring practice.
Max Redfield is a natural free safety, who has elite cover skills and ball skills. The Mission Viejo standout is the #3 safety in nation, he has the hands to be a wide receiver for some schools. Redfield will sign with Notre Dame on signing day.
Tahaan Goodman and Hawkins were teammates in high school and at the US Army Game. However, they will be opposite sides of town in college, as Goodman will head to UCLA. The Bruins are getting a knock out punching safety, who can really run. He can play possibly both free and strong safety at the next level.
Price might be one of the few under the radar players in the eyes of college coaches from the powerhouse Poly program in some time. Price does a little bit of everything. He can cover and tackle and play both safety positions. He will likely join fellow Jackrabbit wide receiver Thomas Tucker as San Jose State signees.

A Novel Method to Protect Your Aging Arteries
By William Faloon
An 86-year-old member who successfully reversed some serious medical conditions wrote me an interesting letter. He asked, since you helped correct my health problems and I am in good shape now…how will I die?
This is a difficult question, but based on this member's age and medical history, I predicted that he would most likely succumb to a vascular disease, be it a stroke or heart attack.
I told this member that if the nutrients he was taking worked for him the same way they did in the clinical trials, then it might be possible to restore healthy endothelial (inner arterial wall) function, and thus avoid these vascular catastrophes.
Recent findings show that certain plant extracts reverse clinical measurements of atherosclerosis. However, we still don't know how long we can delay the endothelial dysfunction that causes so many aged humans to perish from blood vessel diseases.
Fortunately, nutritional scientists have uncovered a new way to counteract circulatory breakdown. We have thus scored another victory that provides an opportunity to postpone what mainstream doctors believe is an inevitable consequence of growing old.
I am pleased to report that this novel plant extract has been added to formulas that most Life Extension members already use on a daily basis.
One would think a scientific breakthrough that could drastically reduce the incidence of arterial disease would be recognized by physicians who treat vulnerable patients each day. After all, vascular disorders are by far the leading causes of disability and death in the Western world.
The harsh reality is that today's medical practice is governed by economic, rather than scientific principles. Hurried doctors are bombarded with pharmaceutical promotions and seldom have the time to review the medical literature. The public is victimized by endless advertisements that make it appear that they can protect themselves against vascular disease if only they take the proper prescription drugs.
What has been sadly overlooked is a plethora of published scientific findings showing that the ingestion of certain foods and/or food extracts could slash the numbers of human beings who suffer and die from circulatory breakdown.1-4
Normal aging causes arterial damage
Even when conventional risk factors such as high cholesterol and blood pressure are kept within normal ranges, the aging process itself inflicts severe damage to our arteries.
The endothelium is the inner lining of our arteries. It comes in direct contact with toxic blood constituents such as oxidized LDL and triglycerides. The reason for today's epidemic of atherosclerosis is the breakdown of endothelial function and structure. Most heart attacks and strokes are caused by atherosclerosis that restricts blood flow through our arteries.
Based on this wealth of scientific data, if aging humans are to gain long-term protection against vascular diseases, they must maintain healthy endothelial function (and structure).
Younger people can protect their endothelium by eating a healthy diet, exercising, taking dietary supplements, and using prescription drugs (if tests indicate drugs are needed). Despite these sensible interventions, harmful changes still occur in the endothelial lining of arteries, especially as humans mature past 70.
The encouraging news is that documented methods have been developed to help correct the underlying reason why arteries become occluded as people reach the later stages of their lives.
How most heart attacks and strokes occur
The two prime factors involved in occlusive arterial disease are abnormal platelet activation and endothelial dysfunction. When the endothelium is not functioning properly, our platelets (blood-clotting cells) become dangerously over-activated. This can cause a sudden arterial blood clot, or contribute to progression of atherosclerosis by stimulating inflammation.
A primary mechanism involved in endothelial dysfunction is the depletion of nitric oxide, often caused from the oxidation of LDL and other blood components. Nitric oxide is produced by endothelial cells. It regulates vascular elasticity, maintains cardiac contraction, prevents vessel injury, and helps protect against atherosclerosis.5-8
As humans age, endothelial function becomes altered. Due to a variety of insults, a depletion of nitric oxide occurs in the endothelium. One consequence of nitric oxide depletion is the inability of arteries to expand and contract with youthful elasticity. The continual stiffening and occlusion of aged arteries is the number one health risk that people in Western societies face.9-14 In order to maintain healthy arterial dilation, the endothelium has to manufacture enough nitric oxide. Impairment in nitric oxide release by the aging endothelium causes arterial dysfunction.15, 16
The band-aid therapies used by today's mainstream cardiologists (aspirin, statin, and certain anti-hypertensive drugs) do have a beneficial effect on the endothelium, but they may only postpone a serious vascular event. If a person lives long enough, the chronic depletion of endothelial nitric oxide results in impairment of arterial function and progressive restriction of blood flow to vital parts of the body.
Measuring endothelial function in humans
The most accepted way to evaluate endothelial function is to measure the blood flow-induced dilation and contraction of the brachial artery. The brachial artery runs from the shoulder down to the elbow. The flow mediated dilation test uses a highly sensitive ultrasound to assess how blood is flowing through this artery.
A carefully controlled study was conducted on male smokers to evaluate the effects of ingesting chocolate on endothelial function and platelet activation. Based on the mechanisms by which cigarette smoking damages the endothelium, smokers serve as an ideal model to identify agents that will protect against age-related vascular disease.20
Half the group received cocoa-standardized dark chocolate while the other half received white chocolate. The cocoa used to make dark chocolate contains unique polyphenols that have demonstrated impressive results in human clinical trials. White chocolate is devoid of these polyphenols.20
The results of this study showed a significant improvement in flow mediated dilation in the dark chocolate group, but no change in the white chocolate group. Compared to baseline, flow mediated dilation improved by 37% in the dark chocolate group and this beneficial effect persisted for about eight hours.20
Dangerous platelet activation was reduced by 36% two hours after ingestion of the dark chocolate, but no effect was observed for the white chocolate group of men.20
This study documented that dark chocolate induced a rapid and significant improvement in endothelial and platelet function. As you may recall, it is the lethal combination of endothelial dysfunction and platelet over-activation that causes most heart attacks and strokes.20
The authors of this study noted that the unique polyphenols found in dark chocolate protect against the inactivation of nitric oxide, thus rapidly reversing a key measurement of endothelial dysfunction in humans.
A second human study using a standardized cocoa polyphenol beverage corroborated these findings. The results showed significant improvement in flow mediated dilation and blood markers of endothelial function. The doctors who conducted this second study stated:
"Therefore, ingested flavonoids may reverse endothelial dysfunction through enhancement of nitric oxide bioactivity." 21
(Note: Two mechanisms by which polyphenols protect nitric oxide are to inhibit its oxidative conversion to the dangerous free radical peroxynitrite and to increase the enzymatic activity needed to produce nitric oxide, from L-arginine.)
Cocoa reduces insulin resistance and blood pressure in humans
Insulin resistance causes impairment of vascular nitric oxide and creates endothelial dysfunction that then contributes to hypertension. By increasing nitric oxide, one has the potential to improve endothelial function, decrease blood pressure, and slow down atherosclerotic processes.22
A 15-day study was done on hypertensive human volunteers to evaluate the effects of eating polyphenol-assayed dark chocolate or a white chocolate on various circulatory measurements. Hypertensive patients who ingested the dark chocolate showed an 11-point (mmHg) reduction in systolic blood pressure and a 6.2-point (mmHg) decrease in diastolic pressure. The participants consuming white chocolate showed no change in blood pressure.22
The researchers then looked at measurements of insulin sensitivity in these hypertensive patients. After 15 days of dark chocolate consumption, fasting insulin levels declined by 29%, along with a 6% reduction in fasting glucose. This sharp reduction in excess fasting insulin without an increase in glucose indicates that dark chocolate polyphenols quickly improved insulin sensitivity in these study subjects. No improvements were seen in the group consuming the white chocolate.22
Insulin resistance is defined as a decreased cell sensitivity and/or responsiveness to metabolic actions of insulin. The pancreas responds to insulin resistance by secreting more insulin in an attempt to compensate for the cell's inability to efficiently utilize insulin. Elevated fasting insulin is commonly seen in obese patients and those suffering from metabolic syndrome, type II diabetes, and vascular disease. A decrease in fasting insulin, as was seen in the group ingesting the cocoa polyphenols, indicates an improvement in systemic insulin sensitivity.
When the flow mediated dilation test was done to assess endothelial function, hypertensive subjects who ingested the dark chocolate saw an improvement to almost normal. Flow mediated dilation improvements were not seen in the white chocolate group.22
This 15-day study showed that dark chocolate decreased daytime and nighttime blood pressure, reduced insulin resistance, and improved endothelial function (as measured by enhanced arterial relaxation and blood flow).22
A second study corroborated these findings when evaluating the effects of dark chocolate on healthy people. The results showed a remarkable 45% reduction in insulin resistance and a reduction in systolic blood pressure within normal values. The researchers who conducted the second study concluded by stating:
"Dark, but not white, chocolate decreases blood pressure and improves insulin sensitivity in healthy persons." 22

Friday, Representative Wenstrup voted against politics as usual in Washington and to hold the Obama administration responsible for playing politics with American air travel.
"For months, President Obama and his cabinet have insisted on playing politics with deficit reduction instead of seeking real solutions. Now, when their games threaten national commerce, they demand we pass a quick fix instead of addressing the root problem of bloated budgets. We cannot continually pass carve outs for specific groups, and my vote is a stand to insist the federal government make smart budget reductions.
Somehow, for an agency whose budget has increased 30 percent over the last decade, a 5 percent budget cut grinds our air travel system to a halt. Inexplicably, the FAA admits they never sought flexibility in spending or proposed an alternative solution, further highlighting that these flight delays are another piece of Obama's politics as usual. Taxpayers and air traffic controllers deserve better."

"This new law represents an important step forward for our kids and for the technology competitiveness of Washington State," said Microsoft Executive Vice President and General Counsel Brad Smith. "By counting computer science classes towards high school distribution requirements, we'll better help our own kids master the skills that will be vital to fill the jobs of tomorrow."
Many schools are pursuing partnerships with businesses that bring coders and programmers into classrooms and help inspire students to explore STEM-related careers. Microsoft employees have been working with the computer science students at Rainier Beach High School. Concur employees recently worked with students at Tacoma's Lincoln High School and sponsored an app-development contest. Groups such as code.org have launched successful viral campaigns to "make coding cooler."
Currently, Washington ranks 4th in the country for number of technology-based corporations, but 46th for participation in science and engineering graduate programs. Washington STEM recently reported there are 25,000 unfilled jobs in Washington as a result of the job skills gap, 80 percent of which are in high-skill STEM and health care roles.
This bill will make Washington the 10th state to allow computer science to be integrated as part of the math and science curriculum in high schools. Hadi Partovi, co-founder of code.org, says he's encouraged to see momentum for the industry growing.
"Code.org's short video starring Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg drew 20 million views and 650,000 signatures behind the idea that more students should learn to code," Partovi said. "It's fantastic to see Washington count Computer Science in the core math and science curriculum. Let's get the rest of the country to follow Washington's lead!"

with that i have to agree....im a just a guy that likes guns...rare, common, pricey, cheap, and just plain unual and ugly. really dont care what it is if i dont have one and i see one i want it....if i can afford it i buy it. if someone from my childhood had one or family had one i will find it and buy it. getting older (not old yet mind you) only 44 but getting older and have a 6 yr old boy and want him to see shoot and enjoy the firearms of my youth and for myself i enjoy the smile on his face when he shoots the 22s and 410 which is what he shoots....but to see that wow look on his face when the big guns go off is priceless and hear him talk about how when he gets big he is gonna shoot them guns......so call my laminate mosin ugly but to me its the best gun in the world when that fireball comes out the end of the barrel and the boy gets the biggest grin on his face and says im gonna shoot that when i get big like you.
had to put this in....yes i count my shots and make sure i end on a even number....the pain in my shoulder is well worth it for the smiles on his face and the memories i will have later in life

...Wildly popular all over the world, mostly in countries where people don't carry guns, and cops don't have to actually shoot people with theirs.

Navy Seals Train Scuba Dogs
How do you feel about dogs being trained for underwater missions? Is it cruel to the go to be put in these dangerous situations? Click though for more.
I'm just f'n with you. I found this picture and thought it would be funny to post. I don't think there are really any scuba dogs being trained, but then you never know. If so, they'd have to have full piece of headgear because they can' t hold a regulator in their mouths. Plus, they always swim off chasing catfish. Scuba dogs. You got snookered!

Beguiling boutique channelling European romance
Built in the 1870s, what is now Mollies was once a convent and boarding house, and the home of Auckland's first mayor. The facilities are rather more sumptuous today, with bespoke furnishings, contemporary art and an air of faded European romance permeating throughout the villa's 10 suites. Facilities extend to an on-site spa and fine dining led by seasonal produce, plus a plush lounge in which to relax by the fireside with a cocktail. Situated in the quaint historic suburb of St Mary's Bay, the hotel is close to several top neighbourhood restaurants, Ponsonby Road and downtown Auckland.

Last week, 25 Republican senators wrote a letter to a former member of their caucus and the man President Obama wants to lead the Defense Department, demanding full disclosure of his financial dealings. To date, Sen. Chuck Hagel has demonstrated afresh his contempt for the legislature by declining to do so.
To their credit, the senators, including the Republican leadership and every member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, have thrown down the gauntlet. They warned Mr. Hagel: "Your refusal to respond to this reasonable request suggests either a lack of respect for the Senates responsibility to advise and consent or that you are for some reason unwilling to allow this financial disclosure to come to light. The signers added: "Until the Committee receives full and complete answers, it cannot in good faith determine whether you should be confirmed as Secretary of Defense.
It may be that the Hagel appointment has been effectively checkmated. Should the nominee continue to stonewall, even Democrats who are under immense pressure to hew to the party line but were privately appalled by his performance during a confirmation hearing two weeks ago get a face-saving way to disassociate themselves from this loser.

text: Preparing for your appointment By Mayo Clinic Staff Print If it's suspected that you or your child has Noonan syndrome, you're likely to start by seeing your primary care doctor or your child's pediatrician. However, depending on the signs and symptoms, you or your child may be referred to a specialist — for example, a cardiologist or a geneticist. Here's some information to help you get ready for your appointment. If possible, bring a family member or friend with you. A trusted companion can help you remember information and provide emotional support. What you can doBefore the appointment, make a list of: Signs or symptoms that concern you Any medications, including vitamins, herbs, over-the-counter medications or other supplements, and the doses Questions to ask the doctor to make the most of your appointment Some questions to ask might include: Do the symptoms indicate Noonan syndrome? What tests are needed to confirm the diagnosis? Are there other possible causes? What other problems might occur because of Noonan syndrome? What's the best course of action for treating and managing these problems? What are the alternatives to the primary approach that you're suggesting? Do you recommend seeing a specialist? Are there brochures or other printed material that I can have? What websites do you recommend? Don't hesitate to ask other questions during the appointment. What to expect from your doctorYour doctor may ask questions such as: When did you first notice that something may be wrong? What signs and symptoms have you noticed? Do you have any family history of Noonan syndrome? Do you have any family members who've had congenital heart disease, bleeding problems or short stature?

The Jayhawks Reform Their Late '90s Lineup Tonight at the Granada
Marina Chavez
For most bands, whenever they cut a few records without a founding member, those records are almost forgotten about when that founding member returns to the band. Whether it's Van Halen, Iron Maiden or Bad Religion, this happens all the time.
With the Jayhawks, they cut three albums without founding guitarist/vocalist/songwriter Mark Olson between 1996 and 2003: Sound of Lies, Smile and Rainy Day Music. As great as those albums were, in the eyes of certain longtime fans, they were thought of as Albums Without Mark Olson and considered lesser works.
With a new generation of fans finding the band, though, they've reformed that era's lineup and will play the Granada Theater tonight. We spoke to frontman Gary Louris at his home in Minneapolis about reforming this line-up, having more songs to pick from for a live set and how the Jayhawks continue to have a dedicated following.
DC9 at Night: Smile was the album that got me into the Jayhawks. Do you come across people who have a similar story, or is it more, Hollywood Town Hall or Tomorrow the Green Grass as introductions?

Louris: There were a lot of people that got in with Smile and Rainy Day Music. I think Rainy Day Music was our biggest seller. It's a different breed, really. There's the older roots rockers that got into Hollywood Town Hall and Tomorrow the Green Grass. With Smile, we got a younger, more diverse crowd than what we had before, gender-wise and age-wise.
Was there a demand to hear the material live from 1997 to 2003 when Mark Olson rejoined the band a few years ago for a tour and the Mockingbird Time album?
There was some of that, but I think people realized early on that it just didn't fit. There really wasn't a place for Mark in those songs. I think we tried some in rehearsals and it just didn't feel right. You couldn't force that chemistry, so it was a weird dynamic to find a place for him in those records' songs. We tried to balance it with doing some of the Creekdippers songs, and then some newer Jayhawks stuff. It was an eclectic stew and it didn't work so. That made all of the sets from almost two records and this is so much fun now.
It must broaden the song selections considerably to draw on these records.
A lot of these songs have never been performed. Many haven't been performed in 15 years or so. We didn't tour much with Sound of Lies because there was a legal battle within the record company. Warner/Reprise and Def American were at odds, so we got no promotion and touring came to a standstill. That wasn't the easiest record to promote, either.
Do you ever run into people that say they didn't get Sound of Lies at first, but it later became their favorite album?
Yeah. That record seems to be a favorite with real die-hards. It's just got a vibe from start to finish that's so desperate. It was like our last record at the time and we put everything out there that we had been holding back a bit. There's people who prefer the old stuff. There's people who prefer the newer stuff. There's people who love it all. For people who thought it wasn't a full band without Olson, when Sound of Lies came out, I said I don't care. We all believe in this music and people could hate us or take us or leave us.
I don't think of the Jayhawks as making the same record twice. With every record, there will be some rock elements, there will be some roots elements, and there will be some country elements.
Yeah, I have that weird envy and sympathy for those one-hit wonders who had one big record. They made a lot of money and people sit around and wait for those hit songs. What's really driven home for how different our records are is when we split the sets up between Sound of Lies selections, went into Smile, then went into Rainy Day Music and did an encore where it was a free-for-all with other stuff. It was cool. It was like a trip through time. They were like severe, jarring transitions. At this point, I've abandoned that concept and being a little freer with the setlists.
What do you have coming up next after this touring cycle? Do you have another solo album in the works?
I have a solo album and two different side projects with other people. We've written a record and recorded it. I've been dabbling in my home studio and playing with electronics to things. That's where my heart is from way back: Eno, prog rock. I'm toying with the idea of putting out a regular song record and something more experimental. I've written songs. I've finally got them to the point where I feel I have a record. It took me a long time because I went to rehab and it took me a long time to come back to music. I had to go through that and get to the point where I felt like I was clicking. Just in the last three or four months, I felt like I had something to put out and now I just have to figure how to put it out.

Tim McGraw adds a self-deprecating note to his repertoire with his newest song.
"Sick of Me," the newest song off McGraw's upcoming album Sundown Heaven Town, is a mid-tempo rocker that finds the country star building up the object of his affection while tearing himself down, leaving him vulnerable.

"All I want to tell you is you were right," he sings. "And I miss you / And I'm sick of me, too."
"Sick of Me" is apologetic in its tone, McGraw searching for forgiveness for all the times he's done his lady wrong.
The new song follows Sundown Heaven Town's two singles released so far, "Lookin' for That Girl" and "Meanwhile Back at Mama's," the latter featuring wife Faith Hill.
Sundown Heaven Town is out Sept. 16.
"This album is very encompassing of everything that I've done in my career," McGraw said in a press release about the record. "I think it's a good microcosm of what my 20 or so years in music have been, in a lot of ways. You can certainly hear parts of my career throughout all of these songs, as well as the future and where my music is headed. To me, the title of the album is all about that time where you stop doing what you have to do, and start doing what you want to do."
It's McGraw's 13th studio album and first since February 2013's Two Lanes of Freedom.

March is a Fenland market town and civil parish in the Isle of Ely area of Cambridgeshire, England. March was the county town of the Isle of Ely which was a separate administrative county from 1889 to 1965. It is now the administrative centre of Fenland District Council.
The town grew by becoming an important railway centre.
Like many Fenland towns, March was once an island surrounded by marshes. It occupied the second largest "island" in the Great Level. As the land drained, the town grew and prospered as a trading and religious centre. It was also a minor port before, in more recent times, a market town and an administrative and railway centre.
March is situated on the banks of the old course of the navigable River Nene, and today mainly used by pleasure boats.
Modern March lies on the course of the Fen Causeway, a Roman road, and there is evidence of Roman settlements in the area.
Before the draining of the fens, March was effectively an island in the marshy fens. It was formed from two settlements, Merche and Mercheford, separated by a canal. The town probably owes its origin to the ford on the old course of the River Nene, where the road between Ely and Wisbech, the two chief towns of the Isle of Ely, crossed the river. At one time shipping on the River Nene provided the basis of the town's trade, but this declined with the coming of the railways in the 19th century.
A single arch bridge was built over the River Nene towards the north end of the town in 1850. High Street, which is the chief thoroughfare, is continued over the bridge to Broad Street on the north side of the Nene, and The Causeway is lined with a fine avenue of elm and other trees.
A Local Board of Health was formed in 1851, under Act 14 and 15 Vict. c. 10, but by the provisions of the Local Government Act 1894 the town became governed by an Urban District Council of 12 members. Gas lighting was provided by the March Gas and Coke Co. Limited. The Wisbech Water Works Company, under a provisional order obtained in 1884, supplied the town with water, which was brought through mains pipes from Wisbech, away.
March was divided into four ecclesiastical parishes which, with three others, were formed out of the previous parish of Doddington after 1863, under the Doddington Rectory Division Acts of 1847 and 1856 [10 and 11 Vict. c. 3 (1847) and 19 and 20 Vict. c. 1 (1856)].

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 26, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Urban Outfitters, Inc. (Nasdaq:URBN), a leading lifestyle specialty retail company operating under the Anthropologie, Free People, Leifsdottir, Terrain and Urban Outfitters brands today announced wedding brand BHLDN will debut on Valentine's Day. For the day that celebrates a woman's personal taste and style, BHLDN provides a confident and guiding voice to help create an extraordinary experience for brides to share with their family and friends. BHLDN's first collection is scheduled for February 14, 2011 through its online boutique, www.bhldn.com . It will bring together a curated collection of heirloom quality wedding gowns, bridesmaid frocks, party dresses, assorted jewelry, headpieces, footwear, and lingerie. Inspired by the very brides BHLDN will serve; the Anthropologie creative team began dreaming up a wedding brand after hearing tales of its customers' nuptials. "We know our customer, and we know she's looking for a brand that reflects her unique perspective. She may have interests common to her friends, but she's looking to create a moment that's all her own… it's not so much about our point of view as it is about capturing hers," explains Managing Director, Kristin Norris. BHLDN's online boutique is at the heart of this offer. Each gown is introduced with soulful photography, while a short video captures the ebb and flow of silk habotai, pleated tulle, and veiled organza. MyBHLDN offers a personalized area where brides can create mood boards to share with friends and family (or the broader BHLDN coterie), while how-to's advise on the perfect bow and what to look for in a wedding photographer. The collection will feature own-brand designs, as well as established and up-and-coming guest designers – its point of edit being a twist on tradition. Gowns pay respect to the old, new, borrowed and blue, but each with a wink and a nod. Fleur Wood, Tracy Reese, and Catherine Deane contribute exclusive designs to the tailored and voluminous, soft and draped, embroidered and embellished assortment, complete with refinements like built-in boning and corsets. Retail prices for the brand range from $1,000 to $4,000 for gowns, and $200 to $600 for event dresses.

Ask a Mechanic Online and Get Answers to Your Car Questions
There is a memory seat module that controlls all the functions of the memory seats on both front seats. It is located under the drivers front seat. This module uses the inputs from the seat switch to accuate different settings. The switch accually just acts as a sensor for the input to the module. When you pudriver 1 or driver 2 the resistance to that sense circut to the module changed and the module adjusts the seat accordingly. That same module also controlls the heated seats, you could have a problem within the module. Keep in mind, the memory seat module also uses inputs from the keyless entry remotes to differ 1 from 2. If the remotes are not programmed properly to the module and 1 or 2 position it may hinder the operation of the memory seat system.
As far as the rear windows go, if you hear the motors running when you hit the switch and the windows dont move, there is only one thing it can be. The window regulators have come apart and are not transfering the motion of the motor to the window. In that case the motor/regulator assembly should be replaced. These days all regulators come with motors already on them so its a pretty simple job.
Hey Josh, It definately sounds like the module may be bad on your car. I can't say for sure without having the car here to check out but that is the most likely cause.
The window regulators are not that bad to replace. Remove the door pannel and unbolt the window from the regualtor. Then you just unplug the motor, unbolt the regulator and wiggle it out as an assembly.
The noise your hearing in the front of the car is probably the electric cooling fan. That fan is going to run any time the ac pressure reaches a certain pressure. It will stay on untill the pressure drops to a low threshhold even after you shut the ac off. This is normal.
Hey Josh, Those pannels are pretty straight forward to get off. Just remove the trim screws and pull the pannel outward at the bottom. The retaining clips will release and the pannel will pivot out. Thel lift the pannel upward to seperate it from the door.
The module is going to cost you a few hundred bucks. The module itself wil be a couple of hundred then and hour or so labor to take out the seat and replace it.
Alot of vehicles have the logic programmed in that the fans come on as soom as the compressor engages. The computer would rather run the fans too often than not often enough. I wouldn't worry too much about that.
Hey, sorry about that. The bulbs on the coucol probably are burned out. When you take the out look at the bulb sockets to make sure they didn't melt.
You can try leather repair on the dash but it won't look right. The only way to fix that the right way is replace it, which is a huge and expensive job.
Hope I helped with everything, good luck.

TAPPER: I was wondering if you have any reaction - Republicans are - I know you haven't said that you'll be tapping the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, but you have said it's on the table. The president did it last summer. Republicans have legislation that would tie the president's hands - would make him have to OK the Keystone pipeline in order for him to be able to tap the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. And I'm wondering if you have a reaction to that.
CARNEY: Well, I'll make a couple of points on that. In terms of Keystone, as you all know, the history here is pretty clear. And the fact is, is that because Republicans decided to play politics with Keystone, their action essentially forced the administration to deny the permit process because they insisted on a timeframe within which it was impossible to appropriately approve the pipeline.
There wasn't even an alternate route proposed yet through Nebraska, an alternate that was deemed necessary based on the request of many in Nebraska, including the Republican governor. So the fact that the process, you know, had ended the way it did in terms of that permit request is wholly the responsibility of the Republicans who insisted on playing politics with the payroll tax cut extension back at the end of last year.
You know, on - going forward, let's just talk a little bit about oil prices. There are no magic solutions to rising oil prices and the - and the pain that Americans feel at the pump. This is a - there - the fact is, is that the president is very aware that - of the impact that the global price of oil has on families, and this is not something that this administration discovered or rediscovers every spring as some politicians do.
As you're aware, Jake, oil production in the United States has increased every year that this president has been in office, and right now -
TAPPER: That's not at all because of his actions, right? Isn't some of that because of previous administrations?
CARNEY: Well, it is - it is now a combination of both. And the fact is, is that American oil production is at its highest now than it has been in eight years. Moreover - and this goes to our actions - over the past three years, we've opened millions of new acres for oil and gas exploration. As part of our focus on continuing to expand possible responsible domestic production, last month the president directed his administration to open more than 75 percent of our potential offshore oil and gas reserves - resources, including a 38-million-acre lease sale on the Gulf of Mexico scheduled for this summer, which could produce up to 1 billion barrels of oil and 4 trillion cubic feet of natural gas.
And then, also - let's step back - when you look at this as a long-term issue and not magic solutions that politicians propose in the spring and forget about come the summer and fall, this president put into place historic fuel efficiency standards that will more than - nearly double the efficiency of the vehicles we drive over the next decade. And that alone will save American families $1.7 trillion at the pump and cut oil consumption by 12 million barrels.
The president is also committed to - I mean, he takes an all or - all-of-the-above approach.
We've approved new nuclear reactor development, first time, I believe, in 30 years, we are focused on increasing domestic oil and gas production, but we're also focused on developing alternative sources of fuel. Whether they're biofuels or wind and solar, alternative energy is another means by which we can reduce our reliance on foreign oil, reduce our vulnerability because of global oil - changes in the global price of oil. That's the kind of approach we have to take to ensure our economic future.
TAPPER: Do you have a reaction that Republicans are tying - trying to tie -
CARNEY: I don't have reaction to a specific proposed piece of legislation or even any legislation that's been submitted now. I would simply point you to the actions that this president is taking to increase domestic oil production, increase domestic gas production, reduce our reliance on foreign sources of energy, and suggest to you that that's the right approach and that this record - the record the president has here is - - speaks for itself.
TAPPER: How can you say you have an all-of-the-above approach if the president turned down the Keystone pipeline? And you blame the Republicans for making a political -
CARNEY: But the president didn't turn down the Keystone pipeline. There was a process in place, with long precedent, run out of the State Department because of the issue of a pipeline crossing an international boundary, that required an amount of time for proper review after an alternate route was deemed necessary through Nebraska at the request of the Republican governor of Nebraska and other stakeholders in Nebraska and the region that needed to take it's - that needed to play out, to be done appropriately. You can't review and approve a pipeline the route for which doesn't even exist.
The Republicans were the ones, unfortunately, who decided - because they were looking for scalps, I guess, or looking for wins in a situation where somehow they found themselves on the wrong side of cutting taxes for 160 million Americans last December - they decided to play politics with this decision and attach it to the payroll tax cut extension.
That essentially - even though it had been made clear by the State Department that doing so would make it impossible for them to conduct the review responsibly, they did it anyway, knowing what the result would be.
TAPPER: I don't want to relitigate the whole thing, but Republicans say that the president was playing politics first by delaying a decision until after the election.
CARNEY: Well, I appreciate that, and we have been through this. But I would note that the delay was the result of a decision made to honor the concerns of those in Nebraska, including the Republican governor, who felt that the proposed pipeline associated with the permit request ran through a portion of Nebraska that would threaten the aquifer, threaten the water supply in Nebraska. The decision was then made to delay approval - delay the process to allow for examination of alternate routes. That's the process should work. It is unfortunate that the process was artificially halted because of the decision to play politics with the payroll tax cut extension.

To some serious walleye anglers pulling high priced leeches, or a plumb aired up crawler, the constant rattle of a sunfish pecking at your bait, trying to get a meal is about enough to drive one crazy.
Fast forward to the middle of winter, with a foot of snow and three feet of ice, the site of a sunny coming through the hole is to many a trophy in itself. So how can a fish which has entertained kids for hours and provided some excellent table fare for folks forever still have a reputation of a hero or a zero? It's all about the timing.
Now is the time to hit the water in search of some of those big bull gills. It's also a great time to get the kids out for some fast and furious action which only a sunny can provide.
The simple rule of thumb I like to use for finding those larger sunnies is to go deep off the weedlines.
A typical location you may want to search for is some type of inside corner leading out to an underwater point. Many of these corners will have a heavy vegetative cover which will act like a magnet for the larger sunfish.
A real easy presentation is to anchor up just out from the corner, and use a pan-fish jig under a slip bobber. Bait of choice would be a real lively pan-fish size leech, but an old reliable angle worm dug up in the garden will always get the job done.
Another prime location to look for larger sunnies is off the edge of the weedline on smaller wind-swept, sunken islands. Wind hitting the edges of these types of structure can really put the larger sunnies, walleyes and bass into a feeding frenzy.
My preferred presentation is to backtroll the boat very slowly against the wind and pitch back small jigs tipped with leeches. Another presentation which also works while backtrolling is to use a light-weight Lindy Rig with a panfish leech. Any one of these presentations can be extremely productive.
Another location to look for larger sunnies is in the deeper water bull rushes. In some lakes which have good clear water, you may find bull rushes out in water as deep as 10-12 feet deep.
If this scenario is one you may know of, look for thicker clumps of bull rushes which may have some submergent vegetation in the mix. This is a prime spot for some good sunny action.
As a kid, my aunties would take a pile of kids on an old pontoon to such a location. We would anchor up and fish with cane poles, red and white bobbers, and hook and a split shot.
Angle worms were the bait of choice, or if we got lucky while digging the worms up, a big old white grub would be thrown into the bait bucket.
One would be remiss not to recognize the most tried and true tactic for catching numbers of sunnies. A good dock, a five gallon pail, a bucket of bait and a rod and reel has kept kids and adults entertained for hours upon hours.
As for table fare, there is nothing better than panfish. As a kid, we would scale them, cut out the dorsal fin, pull the entrails and cut off the head.
When it was time to eat them, we would coat them with some flour and put them into the frying pan with butter and fry them up to be golden brown on each side.
With a larger sunny, filleting them works well. There is nothing better than a potato chip size fillet battered and cooked in some hot oil.
Sometimes it's those simple things in life which can make a difference. Without question, the sunfish is one of those staples which are part of the fabric of life as we know it. They are plentiful, they are easy to access and they provide an inexpensive way to enjoy the outdoors.
Get out there and take a kid with you.
