Say what? Auburn-Opelika in Alabama ranked as the best golf city in the United States?
When non-golfing Americans think of Auburn, Ala., many of them almost certainly think of the Southeastern Conference football school with all those nicknames: the Auburn War Eagles, Plainsmen and Tigers - the last being the school's official nickname.
To serious golfers, Auburn is mainly thought of as one of the stops along the state's renowned Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail. But, all of them may be shocked into disbelief to discover Auburn-Opelika is the U.S. epicenter for urban golf.
That's what Golf Digest believes, in any case. The magazine just named Auburn-Opelika as the best golf city in America, defined as metropolitan areas with populations more than 50,000.
Auburn-Opelika? In Alabama?
Yes, that semi-isolated spot in eastern Alabama, four hours from the Gulf of Mexico and a world away from the more famous golf hot spots like Myrtle Beach, Florida and California.
Here's the funny part: folks in Auburn-Opelika weren't surprised.
"I don't think it surprised me or some of the local golf courses here that much, simply based on the quality of golf and the amount of golf we have in this town," said Scott Gomberg, director of golf at Grand National, the main golfing attraction in the area.
Golf Digest used a fairly complicated formula in its rankings and the results were revealed in the magazine's August issue. It considered access to golf, weather, quality of golf and value.
The magazine, which has published the rankings in the past, put more emphasis on weather this year, which helped the overall winners. Average daily high temperatures in Auburn dip below 60 only in December in January, for example.
That isn't to say balmy weather alone launched Auburn-Opelika into the top spot. You can start with its average green fees of $38 and end with Grand National and its three highly rated courses on a site Bobby Jones practically fainted over.
The Links course is considered the star by many, partly because its finishing hole is regarded as the toughest on the RTJ Trail. The Lakes course has 12 holes hugging the lakeshore - and its 230-yard, par 3 with the island green is thought by many to be the trail's most scenic hole. The Short course is also been tabbed as one of the best 18-hole, one-shotters anywhere.
"We've got 54 holes of championship golf here that we'll put up against anything they have available in California or Myrtle Beach," Gomberg said. "And they've built some other great golf courses here in town. It's a beautiful place to live and a very safe community - and it's got some great golf on top of that."
Grand National has hosted the Nike Tour Championships, the LPGA Tournament of Champions and the NCAA championships.
Another course, Auburn Links, is Auburn football Coach Tommy Tuberville's favorite course, as the magazine points out. Links Magazine has ranked the course as the third-best public track in the Southeast, with its rolling fairways along Parkerson's Creek.
There's also Indian Pines, the municipal course shared by both cities, whose clubhouse recently burned to the ground. Add to that Saugahatchee Country Club and the public Pin Oaks Golf Club.
The rankings were bottom-heavy with northern cities, as well as many of the large, glamorous cities like New York, Chicago, Boston and San Francisco.
"I think the problem with those areas and your Palm Springs (not ranked) and others is that they're very large," Gomberg said. "When you look at per capita, it just doesn't equal out - that's not to say they don't have some great golf courses and they're not great golfing communities, but I think a lot of their people are also from out of state versus people who are actually living in that community."
This may come as another surprise to many, but the Auburn-Opelika area is fast developing a resort image.
"The area only has about 6,000 people and that's when school's in session at the university, so it's not a very large area," Gomberg said. "We've seen a lot of people moving to this area in the last few years to retire, based on the cost of living, ease of getting around and the fact we're located in the center of the state near the interstate.
"As far as travelers, we do close to 70,000 rounds at this facility and of that 70,000, about 60 percent are people traveling to this area to play golf. This is a resort destination versus just a great golf course in Alabama."
Gomberg and others don't deny they have benefited from the marketing prowess of the RTJ Trail, the preeminent golf trail in the U.S.
"I think we'll start getting a lot of phone calls and people asking questions," he said. "All that advertising has been done through the RTJ Golf Trail and our entities to get that word across. The Trail has done a phenomenal job of advertising over the last few years."
Another relatively unknown area, the Johnson City-Kingsport-Bristol triumvirate in Tennessee and Virginia finished second in the rankings, while Punta Gorda in Florida finished third. Gadsden, Ala., made the top 10, and Sumter, S.C., (12th) beat out Myrtle Beach (14th).

Environmentally Adjusted Agricultural Productivity in the Great Plains
This study adjusts 1960-1996 agricultural productivity gains in a panel of Great Plains states to account for the discharge of pesticide and nitrogen effluents into the environment. The agricultural-environmental technology is approximated with translog distance functions that allow us to contrast traditional versus environmentally adjusted productivity gains. Findings indicate technical change has been increasingly biased toward environmentally friendly production. While the environmental adjustment reduced overall productivity gains during the sample period, in recent years adjusted productivity outpaced the traditional measure, reflecting the pro-environment bias in technical change.

JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA - DECEMBER 31: More than 400 police officers from three devisions (Gauteng, metro police, and the South African Police service) patrolled the streets of crime-ridden inner-city neighborhood of Hilbrow in an attempt to crack down on a long-time New Year's Eve tradition: the hurling of refrigerators, mattresses and washing machines out the windows of high-rise apartment buildings on December 31, 2013. Some residents aren't happy about official interference with their unique celebration. "You just want to start off fresh for the New Year," said Bethel Osuagwu, a 36-year-old technician living in Hillbrow. "You're taking out a tradition from Hillbrow residents," said Mr. Osuagwu, who has lived in the neighborhood for five years. "With the police coming in, it's no longer the case." The practice began in the 1990s after the end of apartheid.

It's come to my attention that quite a few people didn't quite know what the Meizu M9 was, first of all, so lemme quick explain it. It's a Chinese phone that's basically a clone of the iPhone, but made with an Android OS. Simple, right? Here's where it gets weird. Now that clone has been re-cloned (at least its insides) into a ROM and has been ported to the HTC EVO 4G. Why would someone do that?
Because they COULD do that, that's why.
This reminds me of a speech by the esteemed Chaotician Mister Ian Malcolm who famously said "your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should." You wacky XDA Developers are going to let all the velociraptors out to murder humanity! Take a peek at the thread on XDA [right over here.] Also feel free to check out more details on the Meizu M9 or hang a left over to the massive release lines post from when the M9 was set free into the world – OR you could discuss this wacky matter further in the Meizu M9 ported to HTC EVO 4G [WTF] thread in the forums. Go wild!

Bill: Don't charge teens with 'sexting' anymore
Though most parents are horrified at the idea of their teens sending nude pictures or "sexting" their dates, a bill is moving through the Florida House that aims to keep them from being charged with a serious sex offense.
A recent national study showed one in five teenagers have sent sexy text messages with photos. Teens caught doing this have been charged in the same category as child pornographers and pedophiles for forwarding racy pictures. One Orlando teen couldn''t live in his mother's house after he forwarded his ex-girlfriend's picture and was charged as a sex offender. His mother lives too close to a school or playground for her predator son to live there.
Lawmakers who usually are quick to pass harsh law and order bills seem to be willing to give kids room to make a mistake
"There is a recognition that teenagers have a tendency to be impulsive," said Rep. Kevin Ambler, a Tampa Republican who supported the bill, which must be heard in two more committees before it gets to the House floor. "They've grown up on the Internet, and shooting something to someone real fast they do without thinking."
This still has some penalties, so we as parents still have to warn our kids about never accepting or forwarding or sending images like this. But maybe they won't have to move out if they do.
-- Sharon Kennedy Wynne
[Photo: In this Times photo by Kainaz Amaria, Hillsborough High freshman John Steele shows photos he sent of himself to a girl to flirt. But when a girl sent some sexy images in return, he found himself in hot water, kicked out of his magnet school and warned that he could be arrested.]

|The crux was not bolted well on this climb. If you come off on the delicate crux your belayer had better be paying attention to keep you off the ground. Of course one can always stick clip the second bolt and avoid a sprained ankle altogether. BTW if your over 6' the crux is probably 10d, 11c for us short people.

Another tip if you dont have a stick clip is to use just a carabiner (no draw) on the first bolt- this works well and takes 6" off the fall, which definitely could matter.
That said, this route could definitely have used a different bolt setup- the second bolt should be lower, and an extra bolt should have been put in a little above the crux- this would take the edge off the route and make it an enjoyable climb for anyone projecting .11s.

On 2/2/11, the ASCA replaced the 2nd bolt and the anchors on this route with 1/2 x 2.75" SS 5-piece bolts. The anchors are equipped with mussy hooks.
Note: Upon consideration, we chose to leave the start bolted as it is, as the initial difficult move could result in a major injury if we moved the first bolt up high enough to protect the crux well (and make it a stick clip mandatory climb)- we felt that a tight belay is adequate.
Note 2: The second bolt was moved up both to facilitate the rope being out of the way for the crux if you stick clip it (as you should), and to lessen the fall if you fall going for the third bolt.
Note 3: The ASCA cannot add bolts to established climb, despite what we consider a very strong argument for a new second bolt on this route.

Fun pulls on solid edges.
Safety: short draw or carabiner on 1st bolt and a good belay.
2nd bolt is fine, you clip off an incut jug.
Hard to grade this route...it felt to me like a V3 boulder problem with 5.10 climbing above.
By Cunning Linguist
Dec 19, 2011
What John is saying above is that because there is a hard starting move, the *crux above* was left unprotected. Now, he didn't bolt the thing, and isn't responsible for what the bolter did. That said, this route was bolted stupidly, and I'd much rather have a spot for the first two moves, then a protected crux with a safe fall, than a bolt-protected AND spotted starting move to an unprotected decking crux.
For what it's worth, I onsighted this climb ground-up my first year in Vegas. It's good climbing, just not safely bolted. Even with a single locker on that first bolt there's no way ankles aren't getting broken on this one, the pucker factor feels more Fixx Cliff than Dog Wall to me the way it is.

fwiw- i've seen several people take the fall off the crux on this thing with a regular draw on the first bolt and no one has tapped the deck. Everyone has ended up 2 feet or more above that starting shelf.
thats part of the reason we didnt mess with the bolt configuration. but i do agree- this, along with some other routes at this cliff were not bolted with any sort of thought whatsoever...

The Royal Canadian Mint is well-known for minting beautiful .9999 fine Gold coins. Add this beautiful and unique Gold Maple Leaf Vancouver Olympic coin to your collection today!
In 2013, a security feature was introduced into the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf bullion coin to ensure its authenticity: a textured maple leaf, micro-engraved with the year of issue using laser technology that is only visible only under magnification. In 2015, radial lines were added to the coin to make it even more secure and resistant to counterfeiting. Additionally, every line pattern is unique to each coin and creates a specific light-diffracting pattern, adding to the beauty of this classic Gold bullion coin.
In 1908, Canadian Governor General Earl Gray struck the first domestically produced coin at the Royal Canadian Mint. Later, in 1931, the British government transferred the institution solely into Canadian hands, permanently eliminating any involvement from The Crown. The creation of the new Royal Canadian Mint coincided with a Gold boom in British Columbia and the Yukon. To refine the vast amounts of raw Gold being mined, there needed to be a way to treat the Gold without shipping it all the way to the United Kingdom, so in 1911, the Canadian Mint finished its original refinery in Ottawa. Years later in 1982, the Royal Canadian Mint became the first refinery to manufacture .9999 fine Gold bullion coins. In 1999 it became the first mint to ever achieve .99999 fine Gold purity.

Awesome 99.99 bullion gold coin and a must given the success that Canada and the USA had at this 2010 Hockey Olympics. The Canandien Royal Mint's 99.99 really show gold's true luster on this collectable. Too bad they just couldn't have etched SC into the coin somewhere to celebrate Sidney Crosby's OT game winning and gold medal clinching goal.
I ordered one of these beautiful Coins, and it exceeded my expectations, with regards to its luster and finely crafted details. It was also my very first One Ounce Coin that I have ever purchased. Great coin for any fan of the Olympics or Hockey. You won't be sorry to have this Coin in your collection. I consider it to be a " Piece of Art " ! Karl Hiten Lexington, Ky.
Although I am not usually big on commemoratives, I snapped up two of these 2010 Olympic gold Maples after Canada won the gold in hockey. The design is iconic and a national treasure for a country proud of it's hockey heritage. I think this coin is a good collectable and a real keeper for the long term. I also love the 2009 Olympic design. The coins I received appeared flawless.
A bit of premium over the standard maple leaf but I think it's an interesting design over the standard maple leaf which I think is a bit boring.
We provide all of our customers with a refund, return and / or exchange on everything we sell including all bullion and certified coins. If for any reason, you have a problem, please feel free to call us. We will always do our best to accommodate you.

Terrell Owens was recently spotted with some Cincinnati Bengals Kobe V iD/PE's but for the gridiron, it's Air Jordans all the way. Take a look at T.O.'s Air Jordan III (3) Cleats that he broke out for practice and for the Bengals' pre-season showdown with T.O.'s former team, the Dallas Cowboys. Owens caught two passes for 18 stripes during the 1st quarter but didn't see much action afterwards as most of the game was taken over by back-ups, but with the trio to T.O., Chad, and Carson Palmer, we should expect a lot more fun this coming season. It was almost a decade ago when T.O. performed his biggest TD celebration, when he sprinted to the Cowboys' logo of the Star at the 50-yard-line after torching George Teague on a fade route for his second 6-pointer; hopefully T.O. has something else up his sleeve – perhaps a collaboration with 85? Check out T.O.'s cleats after the jump and expect a ton more from T.O. this season. via Yahoo!.

Al Bello is a world-class photographer who Donald has always looked up to. Al is married to one of the sweetest human beings, Debbie, and they have two beautiful kids Nicole and Daniel. They have faced great adversity in the past couple of years, but as Donald says, he has never heard Al complain about it. Ever.
They face another long road of dealing with insurance, FEMA, contractors, temporary relocation, etc. When Donald texted Al on Wednesday and asked "What can we do to help you guys?", he replied "Can you build me a house?" Our hearts are breaking for them and we want to help. We can't build a house but we can help to raise money for their family to help offset some of the financial burden from this repeat tragedy.
We have set up a benevolent fund for the Bello family at Comercia Bank. Donations can be made the following ways:
1. Wiring funds (routing # 121137522 and account #1894689049)
2. Making a deposit at any Comerica branch to account #1894689049 (Account name: The Bello Family Relief Fund)
3. Mailing a check to us made out to The Bello Family Relief Fund.

100% of the funds donated will go directly to the Bellos. Thank you for taking the time to care for this incredible family!!

The only issue I've heard with Google Code is that they only allow you to choose from a fixed list of licenses. But most of the usual suspects are there, so that probably won't be a problem for you, unless you are determined to use some obscure/homebrew license. What it does stop is mature projects (like wxPython) with pre-existing licenses that happen not to be on Google's list. --bb

About SEO
Mission Statement: Sound Equine Options is a 501 (c) 3 non profit organization that provides veterinary-directed programs to measurably reduce the number of suffering and starving horses in Northwest Oregon and Southwest Washington.
Sound Equine Options (SEO) was founded in 2009 by an equine veterinarian seeking to address the plight of horses whose owners could not afford to provide them with basic care.
In Northwest Oregon and Southwest Washington, as in the rest of the country, the number of unwanted horses and horses not receiving basic care exceeds the resources available to accommodate them. Though there are currently no accurate figures on how many of these horses exist, our research and work with regional animal control officers tells us these numbers are on the rise.
SEO utilizes a vast network of participants to strengthen the safety net for local horses; to provide them with a life of dignity, love, trust, and care. Our volunteers are passionate about the veterinary-based programs and the results they produce. Based on innovative practices, these programs address the need for temporary assistance and the unwanted horse issue on a national level while radically changing the lives of local horses.

James Michael Dayton identified as Maryland plane crash victim
HOLLYWOOD, Md. (AP) — Maryland State Police are identifying a man killed when a glider crashed into trees near St. Mary's County Regional Airport in southern Maryland.
Police announced Sunday that 55-year-old James Michael Dayton of Mechanicsville was killed Friday when the glider he was riding in crashed into trees near the airport in Hollywood.
Authorities say the pilot was 53-year-old Nicholas John Mirales of Prince Frederick. Mirales was in critical condition when he was flown from the crash scene.
A National Transportation Safety Board spokesman says the Slingsby 49B glider crashed shortly after takeoff when it became disconnected from its towing plane. The NTSB is expected to release a preliminary report of the accident within 10 days of the crash.

Pound Gains Versus Euro as Output Climbs, BOE Maintains Policy
The pound strengthened the most in a week against the euro as U.K. industrial production expanded in March and the Bank of England refrained from adding stimulus measures that tend to debase a currency.
Sterling gained for the first time in three days versus the shared currency as the Bank of England maintained its asset-purchase target, known as quantitative easing, at 375 billion pounds ($581 billion) and kept interest rates at a record low. The central bank is due to release its latest economic analysis and inflation projections on May 15. The pound fell against the dollar after the number of Americans filing claims for jobless benefits unexpectedly dropped.
"Industrial production was better than expected and that caused a bit of a bounce higher" in the pound, said Kathleen Brooks, research director in London at Forex.com, a unit of online currency-trading company Gain Capital Holdings Inc. (GCAP) "Much more important for the pound is going to be next week's inflation report."
The pound appreciated 0.2 percent to 84.49 pence per euro at 4:44 p.m. London time after climbing as much as 0.4 percent, the most since May 2. Sterling slipped 0.2 percent to $1.5505 after rising to $1.5588. It reached $1.5606 on May 1, the highest level since Feb. 13.
The pound faces "tough resistance" at $1.56, Forex.com's Brooks said. In technical analysis, resistance refers to an area on a price graph where sell orders may be clustered.
Manufacturing Data
Industrial output increased 0.7 percent from February, when it gained a revised 0.9 percent, the Office for National Statistics said in London. The median forecast of 31 economists in a Bloomberg News survey was for a gain of 0.2 percent. Data also showed that manufacturing rose 1.1 percent in March, exceeding analysts' predictions for an increase of 0.3 percent.
The U.K. economy expanded 0.8 percent in the quarter through April, the National Institute of Economic and Social Research in London said.
The Bank of England's decision to keep the main interest rate at 0.5 percent was predicted by all 52 economists in a Bloomberg survey.
"Sterling remained bid after the BOE left rates and its asset-purchases program unchanged and after the industrial production and manufacturing data for March surprised on the upside," Valentin Marinov, head of European Group of 10 currency strategy at Citigroup Inc. in London, wrote in a note to clients. "Today's releases add conviction to the view that QE is unlikely to come any time soon."
Unemployment Insurance
The pound may strengthen to 0.84 pence per euro, while sterling may be an "interesting buy" against the yen in the very near term, Marinov said.
Applications for unemployment insurance payments in the U.S. decreased by 4,000 to 323,000 in the week ended May 4, the least since January 2008, Labor Department figures showed today. Economists forecast 335,000 claims, according to the median estimate in a Bloomberg survey. For the first time, the average over the past month was the lowest since before the last recession began.
The pound has strengthened 1.8 percent in the past month, the second-best performer after the Canadian dollar among 10 developed-market currencies tracked by Bloomberg Correlation-Weighted Indexes. The so-called loonie rose 2 percent, the dollar added 0.5 percent and the euro gained 0.6 percent.
The 10-year gilt yield was at 1.78 percent after rising to 1.81 percent on May 7, the highest since March 26. The price of the 1.75 percent securities due in September 2022 was at 99.72.
Gilts returned 1.1 percent this year through yesterday, according to indexes compiled by Bloomberg and the European Federation of Financial Analysts Societies. German bonds gained 0.7 percent and Treasuries earned 0.4 percent.

That's hilarious.

....Lol. No. I don't allow people to have the wrong perception of me unless if they want to live in delusion.

But I was just called a racist...lol. Just because I think that the natives of a land have the right to be called what they are. Everyone else are just citizens...and thought the name is with them from being born in that land, they have a heritage to be associated with it. They aren't purely native...if that makes sense. :)
Hahaha. It's not a big deal. Just keep having fun..lol.

There is no more fancy-pants chef in America than Eric Ripert, a French expat who cooks at New York's famed Le Bernardin restaurant, where you can easily drop more than a hundred bucks a head — for lunch. (I've done it more than once, and it's been worth every cent. Even the time I had to borrow one of their house jackets because my outfit failed the dress-code check.)
But Ripert, despite his formal restaurant, is an affable and earthy character. (See for yourself on his PBS show, "Avec Eric.") And while his new cookbook — also called "Avec Eric," includes lofty recipes like "Pan Roasted Cod With Octopus-Red Wine Sauce and Basquaise Reduction," it also covers homey favorites like deviled eggs.
Granted, these aren't your standard county-fair deviled eggs (which we all know and love), but Ripert's adjustments and refinements are minor, and the result is an elegant little nibble, custom-fit for the passed-appetizer portion of your upcoming holiday party.
This recipe as written serves 4 but is easily doubled, tripled or more. Top tip: If you store them in the fridge, remove them a half-hour or so before serving. Too-cold eggs tend to be rubbery.
Another tip: The freshest eggs are also the hardest to peel after cooking. If you're pulling eggs from the backyard, give them a day or two to settle before cooking.
Deviled Eggs with Smoked Salmon
Recipe from "Avec Eric," by Eric Ripert (Wiley). Serves 4.
6 large eggs
2 ounces smoked salmon, diced
2 tablespoons crème fraîche
1 tablespoon sliced chives
2 teaspoons Dijon-style mustard
Fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Cayenne pepper, to taste
1 lemon, cut in half
Paprika for garnish
Place the eggs in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring the water to a boil, then cover and remove from the heat. Let the eggs sit in the hot water, covered, for 12 to 15 minutes. Drain the hot water and run cold water over the eggs until cool.
Peel the eggs and cut each egg in half lengthwise. Gently remove the yolks from the center and place them in a small mixing bowl. Set the egg white halves aside.
Add the smoked salmon, crème fraîche, chives and mustard to the egg yolks and stir to combine. Season to taste with salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper. Squeeze in lemon juice to taste.
Spoon the yolk mixture back into the egg whites. Garnish with paprika and serve.

There are a few stats Michigan would probably like to forget and an uglier one surfaced Saturday - the Wolverines fell to 6-8 in true road games under third-year head coach Brady Hoke, including a 2-3 mark this season.
The Maize and Blue, simply, have not been a good road team in any of Hoke's three seasons, but this year, the numbers have been even more dramatic than in 2011 and in 2012. In six home contests, Michigan has averaged 437.0 yards of offense and 41.0 points per game, and is 5-1 this season, but in the five road games, U-M has averaged just 273.8 yards and 23.6 points.
On Saturday, the Wolverines had a season-low 158 yards of offense, and now three of their four worst offensive performances this fall have occurred away from the Big House - 168 yards at Michigan State and 289 yards at Connecticut (there was also a 175-yard effort at home against Nebraska).
"It wasn't what we want. We obviously have to play better," Hoke said, following the loss to Iowa.
Michigan's defense surrendered 407 yards of offense and 24 points to the Hawkeyes but has actually been fairly consistent whether playing at home or on the road. The Maize and Blue are allowing 360.7 yards per game in their own stadium and 343.8yards in visiting territory this year. On the scoreboard, the Wolverines have allowed 22.8 points per game at The Big House and 27.2 while on the road.
Over the course of three seasons now, the defense has actually held opponents to fewer yards on the road (318.2) than at home (327.1) but foes have scored more often in their own neighborhood (22.4 to 17.5).
Still, those are winnable numbers. Michigan is just 6-8 on the road because of a porous offense that has averaged only 296.3 yards and 22.7 points in road games under Hoke compared to 450.8 yards and 39.2 points in 20 contests at home.
With its loss Saturday, U-M has guaranteed back-to-back losing records on the road, a feat matched in 2008 (1-4) and 2009 (0-4) but one that had not occurred previously since the program went 1-2 in 1952 and 0-3 in 1953.
In fact, the Maize and Blue had just three seasons with a losing road record during the past 50 years -- 1-3 in 1984, then 2008 and 2009 -- until going 2-3 in 2012.
Michigan will now have three straight seasons with a non-winning record on the road for the first time since 1951-53; in 2010, the Wolverines went 3-2.
If there is any good news for U-M as it prepares for rival Ohio State a week from now, it is that the Buckeyes must come to Ann Arbor.
"The good thing is the sun's going to come up tomorrow, we're going to regroup and we've got one more opportunity for our seniors, in that stadium," Hoke said.

It's Friday, everyone! And that means another Primal Blueprint Real Life Story [1] from a Mark's Daily Apple reader. If you have your own success story and would like to share it with me and the Mark's Daily Apple community please contact me here [2]. I'll continue to publish these each Friday as long as they keep coming in. Thank you for reading!
I'd like to start by saying that I've always been a "skinny" kid. Growing up I had been called lanky, bones, or whatever name you want to insert here. And at the same time, I was always active. Coming home from school and playing dodgeball, football, basketball, etc., with the neighborhood kids was the norm. Granted I never ate well, but at that age it didn't matter because of how active I was.
My slender frame stuck with me all through high school and into the first couple years of college. My horrible eating patterns continued and I slowly started putting on weight. I'm talking about daily fast food, tons of soda, any packaged food you can think of, and of course tons of beer. I didn't remain too active except for a weekly visit to the gym where I'd mostly half-attempt my reps while talking with friends. The "weight" I put on was not very noticeable but it was different for me and I started to get that skinny-fat look some of us are familiar with.
In March of 2011, my wife and I went on vacation and I got serious about getting in shape. I saw pictures from the year before on our honeymoon, and I didn't want to hit the beach without some attempt of getting in shape.
So I did what everyone does when they want to get in shape: RUN! I laced up my running shoes and hit the trails 3-5 days a week for a nice 3 mile or so run. My diet slightly changed by the incorporation of fruits and some vegetables. But I still ate a ton of processed, packaged foods and plenty of carbs to fuel my runs. I continued this pattern until our vacation and I dropped a good 10 pounds.
When we got home from vacation, I had lost any momentum I built prior to the vacation and I started putting on weight again. In November of 2011, I found the nearest gym and signed up for my first membership. I remember huffing, puffing, and sweating on the treadmill until I reached the elusive "400 calories burned" number on the LED. I would continue to hit the treadmill every other day and churn out a solid 30-45 minutes of steady cardio. My diet was still pretty poor and consisted of the typical preservative-filled packaged meals that were low in calories. My favorite was the frozen Tyson chicken fingers that I had with frozen french fries that I could throw in the oven. Even with a diet full of crap food, I managed to drop around 15 pounds.
Even though I thought I was in shape, I continued to sustain random injuries. It started with a knee injury which was diagnosed as Runner's Knee; so I bought expensive running shoes. But I didn't get too far until a bulging disc in my lower back caused some back pain and tingling down my leg. I eventually fought through these injuries until I started getting exertion headaches caused by my high blood pressure. The doctor tried putting me on meds, but at 28 years old I respectfully declined. So I did what you're supposed to do: reduce your sodium intake, which is much harder than I thought. Sodium is in everything, especially my favorite frozen meals. I did the best I could and took some time off to reevaluate my lifestyle.
It didn't take long after some aimless research when I stumbled across the Paleo/Primal lifestyle. It all made perfect sense to me, and I was immediately hooked on the idea and started further research by reading blogs and articles on websites like Mark's Daily Apple. I immediately signed up for Mark's newsletter [3] and completely absorbed the 10 Primal Blueprint Laws [4].
I cut out all processed foods, including fast food and packaged frozen meals. Grains, soda, and most sugars were out the window. I added in more animal protein and even more eggs, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and healthy fats. I currently never "count calories", and eat when I'm hungry and stop when I'm full. I also completely changed my exercise habits. I quit the chronic cardio [5] and now focus only on weight training (squatting, deadlifting, pushing, pulling), light biking, and occasional sprints. Needless to say, I feel great and I haven't experienced any of my injuries that I mentioned earlier. No more pain in my legs or back, and the headaches are completely gone. More importantly, my blood pressure levels have shifted to normal ranges. After a follow up with the same doctor who wanted to prescribe me meds, he was floored by my blood pressure numbers and told me to keep doing what I'm doing.
I still have plenty to work on as I continue the Primal lifestyle. I need to focus on better quality meats and oils for starters, but I know I am on the right track. It does become a challenge to make quality meals throughout the day, but I've found some shortcuts like grilling a bunch of meat at once for the week, and utilizing the Crock-Pot. It also helps that my wonderful wife is now a practicing wellness chef, and she's completely supportive of my new way of eating. My body weight hasn't changed in the past year, but my body fat percentage has plummeted and I feel healthier, stronger, and more energetic.
Thanks, Mark, and keep up the great work!

Chelsea [2] striker Fernando Torres [3] has said it is a privilege to play alongside Eden Hazard [4].
Torres scored his second goal of the season against Newcastle on Saturday and thanked the Belgium star for brilliantly setting him the ball.
Everyone at Stamford Bridge is talking about Hazard's impact, The Sun reports.
Torres, basking in the glory of back-to-back league goals for the first time since September last year, said: "A player like him can make a difference. It is a privilege to have a player like him behind you.
"We are having the ball more than usual and that is important, we are not as worried as last season about defending because we have the ball for most of the time. It is difficult to start winning games when you change your style but we are doing it and we must be proud of that."
Chelsea is three points clear of the pack at the top of the Premier League table.
That is partly because they have played a game more than everyone else but it has been a good start nonetheless. (ANI [5])

Colder conditions and wetter weather are forecast to return to Sand Diego County by Tuesday night, according to a National WeathercService spokesman.
"`We have the first of two fronts set to move in late Tuesday into Wednesday, with a 90 percent chance of showers," said NWS meteorologist Jamie Moker. "It looks like about a half-inch of rain for this first front. It should hit Riverside County by Tuesday night and move into San Diego County a few hours later by sunrise Wednesday."
Temperatures are also expected to drop from the mid-70s Monday into the 50s by Wednesday, Moker said.
"Some of the higher elevations of Riverside and San Bernardino mountains may see a light dusting of new snow, but this storm may not bring any snow to San Diego mountains," Moker said.
That could change later this week when a second stronger and colder front is expected to hit the region possibly by Thursday night, with much of the rain falling on Friday.
"This one will be colder, with snow levels dropping to about 4,500 feet by Friday, and some of the higher elevations in San Diego will get a dusting of snow," Moker said.
A slight chance of showers is predicted to linger into Saturday, with the system expected to move out by Saturday night.

Over 233,000 Peg Perego strollers have been recalled after they were deemed a strangulation risk.
The US Consumer Product Safety Commission said that babies could become trapped and strangled in the strollers if the are not harnessed properly.
According to HealthDay, worries about the Peg Perego strollers date back to 2004 when a 6-year-old boy in California died after his head was caught between the tray and the seat bottom.
More from GlobalPost: Peru, Latin America's hidden growth story
The Legal Examiner said that the same thing nearly happened to a young girl in New York City two years later.
The recall involves two older model strollers from the company: the Venezia and the Pliko P3.
Both strollers were sold up until 2010, CNN reported, and officials said that any parents with them should immediately stop using them and contact the company

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a common autoimmune disease leading to profound disability and premature death. Although a role for FcgammaRs and TLRs is accepted, their precise involvement remains to be elucidated. FcgammaRIIb is an inhibitory FcR important in the maintenance of tolerance. We hypothesized that the inhibitory FcgammaRIIb inhibits TLR responses on monocyte-derived dendritic cells (DC) and serves as a counterregulatory mechanism to dampen inflammation, and we surmised that this mechanism might be defective in RA. The expression of the inhibitory FcgammaRIIb was found to be significantly higher on DCs from RA patients having low RA disease activity in the absence of treatment with antirheumatic drugs. The expression of activating FcgammaRs was similarly distributed among all RA patients and healthy controls. Intriguingly, only DCs with a high expression of FcgammaRIIb were able to inhibit TLR4-mediated secretion of proinflammatory cytokines when stimulated with immune complexes. In addition, when these DCs were coincubated with the combination of a TLR4 agonist and immune complexes, a markedly inhibited T cell proliferation was apparent, regulatory T cell development was promoted, and T cells were primed to produce high levels of IL-13 compared with stimulation of the DCs with the TLR4 agonist alone. Blocking FcgammaRIIb with specific Abs fully abrogated these effects demonstrating the full dependence on the inhibitory FcgammaRIIb in the induction of these phenomena. This TLR4-FcgammaRIIb interaction was shown to dependent on the PI3K and Akt pathway.

CAPITAL REGION, N.Y. – Everyone who sends a child to school each day had that same awful pit in their stomach Thursday – empathizing with those parents who lost what's most precious to them in the Connecticut school shooting.
No doubt, some wondering – could that be me? Could I lose my child in such a horrific act?
Area schools tell us they do not take safety for granted.
They're vigilant about who they let on school grounds, and they keep an eye out for problems within the school that could lead to violence.
Schenectady superintendent Larry Spring says, "Parents send their kids to school and they expect us to keep them safe, and really even more than the education, that is what we are committed to."
The problem is these kinds of tragedies get 24-hour news coverage, leading some people to believe they happen more often than they do.
A 2004 joint U.S. Department of Education/Secret Service report says few children are likely to be shot at school: in fact, the odds that a child would die in school-by homicide or suicide-are no greater than 1 in 1 million.

Two burglar suspects remain in the Lincoln County jail, in danger of facing federal charges for the burglary of a rural home June 20 at 6650 So. Buffalo Bill Ave.
Herweh was arrested with Martin White and Greg Skinner on June 20 after a stakeout. They were allegedly stealing guns.
Defense Attorney Kent Florom asked for a preliminary hearing so Herweh could contest the charges.
Lincoln County Judge Kent Turnbull the hearing for July 31.
Herweh remains behind bars in the county jail.
Martin White, who was arrested with Herweh, also appeared for a preliminary hearing, charged with possession of firearms and burglary.
Defense Attorney Martin Troshynksi requested a contested hearing for his client, since the expected federal charges have not been filed against him, either.
Turnbull asked Deputy County Attorney Austin Leighty what he knew about the federal charges.
"They have not happened yet, but expect them any time," Leighty said.
Turnbull set a hearing for July 3.
White also had two other misdemeanor case hearings scheduled Thursday, but Turnbull suggested a delay until the felony hearing.
"If you are indicted with federal charges, I expect them to dismiss the misdemeanors," Turnbull said, and he scheduled the misdemeanor hearings for Sept. 25.
White has been in jail since June 20.
In other court action:
A charge against Chelbi L. Karnik, 27, for felony possession of a controlled substance was bound over Thursday to district court.
Karnik was arrested July 18 when she was linked to a stolen laptop computer, which she allegedly tried to return for cash at Wal-Mart. She was also allegedly found with syringes and what appeared to be methamphetamine, police said.
Defense attorney Kent Florom asked the court to reduce her bond. The county attorney did not object.
Lincoln County Judge Michael Piccolo reduced bond to 10 percent of $7,500 and the case was bound over to district court.
Karnik posted bond and was released, according to sheriff's records.
Gregory Murdie, 41, also waived his right to preliminary hearings on two separate felony charge of possession of methamphetamine and theft.
Murdie was arrested July 18 when an off-duty police officer allegedly saw him riding a mountain bicycle that was reported stolen a week earlier. A search turned up a baggie, straw and white powder that appeared to be methampethamine, police spokesman Rodney Brown said.
Murdie's bonds were reduced to 10 percent of $5,000 Thursday and the charges were bound over to district court.
Murdie remained in jail Friday, according to sheriff's records.
Larry Kirchner, 51, waived his preliminary hearing on two felony firearm charges. Defense Attorney Martin Troshynksi asked for a bond reduction.
Piccolo reduced bond to 10 percent of $25,000 and sent the case to district court.
Kirchner is charged with stealing a revolver from a pawn shop on July 13. Police said they found the gun in Kirchner's waistband. He is also charged with carrying a concealed weapon.
Genero Rivas, 39, accepted a plea agreement to misdemeanor charges of third-degree assault and child abuse.
Deputy County Attorney Jennifer Clements requested probation, with stipulations to complete domestic abuse courses and continue counseling with his wife.
Piccolo placed him on 14 months probation plus costs.
Police said Rivas knowingly and intentionally placed two children in a situation that jeopardized their physical health, and he cruelly punished them but it did not result in serious bodily injury.
The incident occurred on July 6. Rivas served two days and posted 10% of a $25,000 bond.
Richard Beard failed to appear for his plea hearing on a misdemeanor theft charge. Defense attorney Martin Troshynksi requested a continuance. County attorney Jennifer Clements objected and asked for an arrest warrant. Piccolo issued a warrant.

Lake Succes (Aug. 27)
Of three European countries among ten nations which have replied lately to a British request for cooperation in halting illegal immigration to Palestine, only Denmark stated unequivocally that it has taken steps to halt such migration, the U.N. Secretariat disclosed today.
The Danish reply said that a ship which the British Embassy charged was to be used to transport refugees to Palestine was inspected while docked at Copenhagen and was ordered detained when found not have the necessary papers. The Netherlands only acknowledged receipt of the request, while Yugoslavia said no action had been taken since there has been no instance of Palestine-bound Jews passing through its territory.
The other nations replying were Bolivia, Brazil, Cuba, El Salvador, Iceland, India and the Philippines. Most of them promised to give careful consideration to the British request, but did not specify any measures they planned to take.
About a month ago, the secretariat released replies from ten other nations, the majority of which agreed to take various measures to check immigration to Palestine. Honduras said it would cancel the registry of ships flying its flag which were being used as blockade runners.
U.N. Secretary General Trygve Lie refused at a press conference today to confirm reports of a rift in UNSCOP on the question of partition, although he acknowledged that he had in his possession complete verbatim reports of the committee's sessions. Lie revealed that Foreign Minister Bevin will head the British delegation to the General Assembly next month, which will act on the UNSCOP report.

H&M Hosts Four Conscious Exclusive Collection Launches
Between yesterday's sustainable fashion live-panel discussion and their second Conscious Exclusive collection events last night, H&M has been busy! It wasn't just New Yorkers that got in on the eco-friendly fashion, though. With used clothes in tow, shoppers in New York, San Francisco, West Hollywood and Miami joined Jessica Stroup, Penn Badgley, Victoria Justice, and Jessica Lowndes, to celebrate sustainability. The collection, which hit 25 U.S stores yesterday, is comprised of men's and women's red carpet looks made from more sustainable materials such as organic cotton, silk-like Tencel, recycled polyester, and tulle. During the fête, guests shopped and noshed on organic hors d'oeuvres while, in turn, receiving a 25 percent discount for bringing in clothes. When asked for his green words of wisdom in New York, Badgley remarked that the eco-line was a "step in the right direction that a lot of us need to be making towards living more sustainably." Plus, "it helps when the clothes look good!" Touché, Gossip boy!

Ancient weather records help scientist study climate
Published on February 29th, 2012 | by Admin1
Ancient weather records kept by Arabic scholars between 816-1009 AD are helping scientists study climate change.
Until now researchers have relied on official records detailing weather patterns including air force reports during WW2 and 18th century ship's logs. Now a team of Spanish scientists from the Universidad de Extremadura have turned to Arabic documentary sources from the 9th and 10th centuries (3rd and 4th in the Islamic calendar). The sources, from historians and political commentators of the era, focus on the social and religious events of the time, but do refer to abnormal weather events.
"Climate information recovered from these ancient sources mainly refers to extreme events which impacted wider society such as droughts and floods," said lead author Dr Fernando Domínguez-Castro. "However, they also document conditions which were rarely experienced in ancient Baghdad such as hailstorms, the freezing of rivers or even cases of snow."

One Response to Ancient weather records help scientist study climate
I have a Parish Register from 1583. In it it records a weather event on the 21/03/1593; which was a Thursday – on which a 'terrible wynde wiche blewe down houses and trees and did verye muche harme in Englande' (verbatim) This was recorded at Ellastone Village about 2 or 3 miles from Alton Towers. Can anyone throw any light on this event or add anything useful to it. I would be very interested if so,
Thanks in anticipation.

Classes begin at Politz on Wednesday, Sept. 7.
In addition to new science textbooks for the middle school and a more detailed weekly current-events workshop for eighth-graders, the school's nursery school will roll out a new literacy program for its youngest learners.
Funded by the Tuttleman Foundation, the literacy initiative will introduce Politz's preschoolers to phonemic awareness – a pre-reading skill necessary to start putting letters and sounds together into words – using puppets, books and illustrations. The program also has a writing component.
According to Katz, the two teachers in the preschool class will teach the 21 nursery-school students about what it means to be an author, as well as the difference between fiction and non-fiction. Most of all, added the principal, the curriculum will encourage self-expression and a love of reading.
"We want to teach the children that if they write or illustrate sentences, no matter how elementary, they, too, can be authors," explained Katz. "They will learn about authors, but also gain an appreciation for their own imagination and creativity."

I have an EEG scheduled for my daughter in a few days and I am working with a doctor but I wanted to share my story and see if anyone has any thoughts or similiar experiences.
My twelve-year-old daughter has had about four episodes that we have previously thought were migraines. The first three migraines consisted of a really bad head-ache and vomitting. She really slept most of the time so other symptoms may have been unkown to us. Her most recent episode lasted for about 8 hours, the first symptoms we are aware of started with a headache, mild confusion and she had a flushed face. It slowly progressed into throwing-up, hallicunations, garbled speech along with her having the inability to say sentences or words correctly. She also would sit up and stare at me in a weird way and then lay back down or would complete tasks like washing her hands over and over again. It seemed to hit its peak about halfway in and then she progressively got better again. She also said she had numbness in her arm.
We thought this was a migraine until seeing her doctor the next day who said this has seizure-like symptoms. I had what we thought were migraines just like her around my change. However, I also remember my arms pulling up to my chest and jerking along with periods of time when I blacked out. I would knock things over with my arms and people would ask my why I did that but didn't remember doing it. I also remember a feeling like it was the end of the world moments before the onset. Once I remember waking up in a fetal position on the floor and didn't know how much time had passed.
When my daughter was three or four there were a couple years where she had bad respirtory issues, she was sick for months on end. At times she would throw-up in her sleep, which we thought was from coughing, when we would try to get her up to the bathroom room, she would fight us, be extremely confused, sometimes would run with no direction or cause and sometimes foamed at the mouth. I questioned whether these were seizures at the time but it was believed by doctors and my family that she was tired and confused by the illness and medication.
Teachers have also noticed that she seems to zone off at times, even though she normally seems attentive and focused. She also seems to be more anxious, dizzy and ill than most her age if she does not get the proper amount of sleep. She doesn't even like sleep-overs with friends because they make her feel so bad.
I also have had multiple situtations that could lead me to believe I have seizures. Friends, ex-boyfriends, teachers have all said that I have spaced out and they have been unable to get my attention for brief periods of time. Some friends have seen me in a zombie-like state where I functioned but used brief words and sat slumped over with hair in my face. I also have had multiple situations where I have woke up in the middle of the night feeling like I was frozen and unable to move.
My father also had multiple seizures for several years after hitting his head. I also have a cousin (on my dad's side) who has eplipsy. He did have a head injury one to two years prior to the seizures so it is uncertain if that was the cause.
