SALT LAKE CITY — There were no signs he had tried to gouge out his eyes or pull out his hair. There weren't even bags under his eyes from lack of sleep.
BYU athletic director Tom Holmoe didn't look like a man on the edge. Rather, he appeared to have a plan.
What that plan is, he wouldn't specify, only to note that BYU football isn't dead. Reports of its demise have been greatly exaggerated. For the past 10 days, Cougar Nation has been awash in skepticism — or at least dismay.
Why didn't BYU do something?
Could the athletic program that dominated both the Mountain West and the Western Athletic conferences be dwindling? Is the home of two Outland Trophy winners, a Doak Walker winner, a Heisman winner and one national football championship be down for the count?
"Things may settle for a little bit," Holmoe said, "but there's opportunities — great opportunities for BYU that did not exist last week."
Holmoe wouldn't get specific, except to say doors are opening.
"I don't want people to think that we're just casually sitting back with a laissez-faire attitude," added Holmoe. "Believe me, there are more people are energized about BYU now than there have been since I've been there. I think that — in meeting today with very high-up officials — we will do what's in the best interest of BYU. We'll make the most out of this situation, but we won't change. We're not going to change. We don't necessarily know exactly what will happen, but hey, Utah didn't know until the day before they got invited."
Oh, yeah. Utah. Remember those guys? If you think football games with the Utes were gut-wrenching, they were nothing compared to last week. Losses to Utah may sting for a year, but the Utes' move to the Pac-10 could smart for eternity.
But if you're looking for confirmation that the move hurt BYU, you won't hear it from Holmoe. Ever since Utah was invited on June 17 to join the Pac-10, BYU has maintained a cool distance. Naturally, the media went to Provo for a reaction, not long after the announcement came.
Isn't that what you do when stars separate or divorce?
You talk to the spurned lover.
But rather than say anything, BYU officials took the Fifth.
The silence ended Friday, when Holmoe shared the podium with Ute coach Kyle Whittingham and Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff at a conference of the nation's sports editors. The subject for discussion was the BCS. That led to questions about Utah and whether joining an automatic qualifying conference might actually help the Cougars.
"We'll see," said Holmoe, giving credit to the Utes.
If the Cougars aren't exactly giving Utah a standing ovation, it makes sense. It's not like they have no case of their own. In the last three years, Utah has won eight conference championships in athletics, BYU 25. In football — the sport that stirs the nonalcoholic, decaffeinated drink — BYU has won three of the last five against the Utes. Since Urban Meyer came to Utah for the 2003 and 2004 seasons, the Cougars have won two football titles, Utah three; since he left, BYU leads 2-1.
Suffice it to say, the Cougars have done nicely.
Yet it was the Utes who got the call from the prestigious Pac-10. They had the research emphasis. They had the two BCS bowl wins. And they had entirely no problem playing on Sunday.
BYU had none of the above.
That, however, didn't derail Holmoe. It's a poorly kept secret the Pac-10 wasn't going to call BYU, regardless. A highly conservative university amid all those liberal Left Coasters?
Mouse in the bean dip.
At the same time, Whittingham said on Friday he didn't think the conference expansion craze is finished.
"I don't see it going any direction but that direction," he said.
That could mean BYU may yet join another conference, like the Big 12, which at this point includes just 10 schools. It might mean the Mountain West gains automatic qualifying status, either on its own or in a merger.
"It's a huge challenge to redefine our identity," said Holmoe. In the same breath, he added, "But our identity's not going to change. It doesn't matter if we're in the Pac-10, the Big Ten, the Mountain West Conference or independent; it doesn't matter. We are BYU. We will always be BYU. We will never change. We're NOT in (certain) conferences because of who we are."
Holmoe hastened to add that BYU doesn't intend to stand down. On the contrary, last week's events ramped up his resolve.
"It's a good check for us right now," Holmoe continued. "There's a lot of work for us to do. ... In this time frame, we have our allegiances. BYU has certain allegiances, and BYU has lived up to them, and now we have opportunities that didn't exist in the past."
Calling in some markers, maybe?
"I'm not saying," he said, "but we're excited about the future."

The Journey of our Unity Cross
Geoff Guitard, a chaplaincy leader at St. Patrick's Intermediate and Frank Ryan Catholic School, has crafted a symbol for the Board community to accompany our spiritual theme, Though Many, We are One Body in Christ. The cross contains a slot at the back where people can insert their prayers. The prayers are emptied and offered up at liturgies and prayer services across the Board community. The cross began its journey between schools in November 2010. Each school it visits places a token or expression of community in the door of the cross.
Since November 2010, the Cross has travelled to 72 schools and 17 parishes. It has served as a symbol for catechetical learning for students and staff and marked our journey as a faith community. Because it is built to hold gifts between communities, it comes with a photo journal to which all schools on the journey contribute. The Cross has been a remarkable tool for building community throughout the Board, uniting schools and creating awareness of the diversity of our communities.

Jason Kidd is recognized as one of the most cerebral players to ever set foot on the court. And in a career filled with smart plays, when Jason's career is analyzed at its end, one play will stick out above all others to represent his basketball mind at work.
It's known now simply as, "The Mike Woodson Play."
Jason and Hawks coach Mike Woodson (left) stand on the sideline as officials decide the outcome of "The Woodson Play."
It happened on a regular season night in February of 2010 at Atlanta's Phillips Arena, known alternatively as "The Highlight Factory." Jason was already well into a highlight-reel triple double that ended up including 19 points, 17 assists and 16 rebounds. But with 1:37 to play, the Mavericks still trailed, 97-95.
That's when J-Kidd, while dribbling the ball up the court, noticed Atlanta coach Mike Woodson out on the floor, coaching his defense. We'll let No. 2 take it from there.
After Dirk's technical and Jason's three, the Mavs took a 99-97 lead. And although Atlanta actually forced overtime on a Josh Smith layup with 32 seconds left, Dallas outscored the Hawks, 12-4, in the overtime period.
J-Kidd padded his already phenomenal line with four more rebounds and an assist in the extra session.
"This one, I will treasure as much as the first one I had," Jason said of his 104th triple double. "At 36, I feel great. A triple-double at 36 is special."
After the game, Atlanta coach Mike Woodson gave credit where it was due.
"He made a heck of a play," Woodson said. "Jason Kidd is an All-Star, a Hall of Fame guard, and he's had a hell of a career. He did what he had to do…. I've got to take the hit on that. I shouldn't have been on the floor."
Watch the play itself below:
Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle, who has called Jason a "basketball savant, praised his point guard that night for the momentum swing his heads-up play provided.
"This is one for the ages," Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle said. "I don't think there's ever been a smarter player in this league than Jason Kidd."
The win was the sixth straight for the Mavericks at a turning point of their season. They went on to win seven more in a row, putting together a 13-game winning streak that was the league's longest that season.

Now, baby boomers will follow Daniel Yankelovich
Pioneer opinion researcher dies in La Jolla at 92
Don Bauder 9:30 a.m., Sept. 23
For months, community activists have asked the Sweetwater Union High School board, "Where is the Vega report?"
In May, board president John McCann called for attorney Greg Vega to conduct an independent review of controversial invoices submitted to the district by Alevy Communications, a public relations firm.
The district's former legal counsel, Bonifacio Garcia, purportedly hired Scott Alevy to work on labor negotiations. However, a Union-Tribune investigation into the invoice found disparities. Some people Alevy claimed to have met with did not recall the meeting; others did not recall that the meeting related to Sweetwater.
At the November 14 board meeting, community activist Kathleen Cheers called again upon the district to release the Vega investigation. Interim superintendent Brand's calendar, obtained through a public record request, shows Brand met with Vega about the report on November 3.
In a recent interview, Cheers said she was told that the report would not be made public due to attorney-client privilege. She believes the report contains "a smoking gun" and will reveal "that the district tampered with elections."
Cheers said she wants to know why Alevy met with select 2010 board candidates, including John McCann. She also questions why the district paid Alevy to develop and distribute election trends and meet with "key influencers" when he was hired to work on labor negotiations.
Cheers forwarded her queries to the district attorney's office, where there is an ongoing investigation into several Sweetwater issues.
Brand did not respond to emails soliciting comment.

Image: from EastCountyChamber.org video
The Vega Report has been submitted. The District has refused to provide me with a copy. They are also refusing to provide the DA with a copy unless if they are subpoenaed to do so. If Jim, Arlie, and John, cannot be transparent, perhaps it's time for them to step down.
What is the Vega Report?
In the last round of negotiations, the District hired two PR firms to assist them with bargaining. The use of these firms was not publicly approved at a school board meeting. Instead, the District's former chief legal counsel was given the authority to hire these consulting firms to help them to gather information on SEA and to spin a tale that would help them to meet their bargaining objectives. The invoices submitted by one of the firms, Alevy Communications, became public knowledge and contributed to the downfall of our former superintendent. The bills indicate that Alevy Communications went beyond assisting the District in negotiations.
The invoices indicated that the District paid Alevy Communications for assisting the former superintendent to write editorials to help with his family's troubles in Texas. More shocking was the fact that the bills indicate that the District participated in determining the results of the last school board race. According to the bills, Alevy Communications charged our District for meeting with school board candidate John McCann during his campaign. The District paid for Alevy Communications to have discussions with "Key Influencers" and to meet with a "Key Group" regarding the election. Alevy Communications was also paid to monitor the election on election night and to produce reports.
Jesus Gandara is gone. Good riddance. However, the bigger story of the District's involvement in the last election has been swept under the rug. If the Alevy Invoices are accurate, the District meddled in the last election and Jim, Arlie, and John should resign immediately so that we can move forward.
The District decided to audit the invoices. At the cost of fifteen thousand dollars, they hired former U.S. Attorney Greg Vega to perform the audit. The report has been submitted. I would like to see it and share it with the SEA membership. It should be an interesting read.
However, keep in mind that the person that the District hired to perform the audit, is the same person "who brokered the contract between the general counsel and the Sweetwater Union High School District" according to the following UT article: http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/2011/may/27/attorney-selected-independent-sweetwater-probe-fam/
The invoices were processed by the Finance Department. Instead of disciplining the former head of this department for either the lack of oversight or worse, why has she been rewarded with a consulting position with our District? In some cases, unfortunately, not doing the right thing does pay.
District: What are you trying to hide? How about a little transparency?
alex anguiano:
why were the bills submitted by the districts legal counsel bonny garcia? surely he knew the district was breaking the law when they were paying for candidate meetings, who were the members of the key team? key influencers?
i am thinking IF the finished report was not inflammatory to mccann and other board members that it would have been presented in one of those 'photo ops' mccann is know for.
something is being kept from the taxpayers of the south bay.
The questions that you ask, I have also asked at school board meetings. The reality is that some of the charges on the bills appear to be bogus. I know that the meeting with the Labor Council described on one invoice did not take place. I do believe that the meeting with John McCann and the "Key Influencers" occurred. I would like to see what Vega says in his report. I am also hearing that the request was made to charge twice the amount, 30,000 dollars. That makes me wonder if a request is being made to charge twice as much for the same report or if he discovered something that he believes needs further investigation.
However, whether the invoices are 100 percent accurate is not the point and I hope that accuracy was not the sole purpose of the investigation. The fact is that the bills that were submitted by the former chief legal counsel's firm. The Human Resource Department and the Finance Department approved the invoices. Our District paid to influence the school board race.
Jim, John, and Arlie should resign.
hopefully the taxpayers of the south bay will take note of this latest issue and realize that the ONLY way change will come is through the VOTING BOOTH.
rumor has it john mccann has his eye on the assembly, interesting since he has told many that chula vista mayor is his primary goal. really? we need mccann in the assembly about as much as we need a hole in the head. mayor, the community of chula vista is looking to continue its aura of integrity, mccann would undoubtedly clog city business up with the same 'pay as you go' politics that is the norm at suhsd.
it is time for the south bay to RID ITSELF of all of those who continue USE public office versus SERVE in public office!!!!!
COMMUNITY MEMBERS VOTE - vote them right out of here - we need representatives that honor integrity and honesty.
not quite understanding why mccann has not come out publicly and explained why he is not holding another press conference to discuss the finding of the vega report. i mean after all he made such a huge point of declaring to all of the tax payers of the south bay that he was going to get to the bottom of the alvey charges. there he sat, declaring to all - so what happened to change his mind? funny, i do not recall him mentioning WHY he met with alvey BEFORE he was voted into office. why is mccann not silent on this issue, didn't he promise us answers - right,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, but remember he was going to 'clean' up suhsd - or at least that was the promise he made to get elected.
the board has the power to release the client/attorney privilege label that they have given the vega report - so why aren't they doing so.
attorney/client privilege - aren't the taxpayers the true client here? i mean it is their tax dollars that paid for the investigation.
IF mccann, cartmill, ricasa do not have something to hide then why aren't they sharing the results with the public. lopez and quinones were NOT up for re election in 2010.
smoking gun? i am thinking more like political suicide - that is why they have become mute on the issue. wondering if allllllllll of those charges billed to the district were legal. i did not think districts were suppose to pay for ANYTHING having to do with favoring one candidate over another EVEN if the candidate is bidding for RE election.
nothing has really changed at sweetwater - gandara may be gone, but the perceived lack of transparency lives on. suhsd' board continues to bury the truth about what is really going on at sweetwater. i noticed they did not get back to you. surprise, surprise!!!!!!
wondering why board member lopez was not asked about this or board member quinonez - lopez is seen as the only board member who is not afraid to speak the truth. would be interested to get her take on this situation.
again ms. luzzarro you continue to keep us informed, we thank you for that.
anniej, I did send an email inviting several board members to comment as well as Dr. Brand. I sent Brand one yesterday and today. You would think he would want to get rid of this hot potato; initially it wasn't his--now he owns it too.
Of the three board members, Lopez was the only one who got back to me and gave me her number. I called several times and emailed. Finally the story needs to be timely.
It took me several board meetings to hear the outcry for the report. One gets jaded and doesn't expect things to be done I guess.
but you make a strong point. the taxpayers paid for this report. they deserve to see it and deserve a district that keeps its promises about transparency.
the community should be most concerned when requests from reporters such as yourself are ignored. the district consistently reacts with a 'why is everybody picking on me' attitude. they fail to take ownership of their own failings. it is important to learn from past mistakes, our board is not capable of this as they refuse to acknowledge the truth. what media story has proven to be false?
a recent article on the districts web site took the media to task - yes, they are using our tax dollars to work on such nonsense. the article was complete with audio, and certain hand picked areas of the conversation with media. perhaps what the district is in need of is a person who will hold up a mirror and simply say "take a look, YES THAT IS WHO YOU REALLY ARE AND THESE ISSUES YOU OWN THEM".
it is indeed frustrating when persons elected by the people, for the people, refuse to answer questions raised by those same people (board meetings).
it is as if our concerns do not matter to the majority of them. board member lopez has consistently shown - with each and every issue, that her focus is on what is good for the students. her voting record says it all. she consistently answers the tough questions, and while one may not always agree with her decisions SHE, at least is willing to hear the public and consider what they have to say.
Too Late to Include in Article but not too late to consider.
Sweetwater board member Bertha Lopez returned my email inquiry for comment after the story was posted. She said she spoke with attorney Greg Vega about the report. According to Lopez, Vega said that although the report is designated attorney-client privilege, the board has the ability to make it public.
I don't know if anyone's seen the movie "Groundhog Day", in which a reporter (Bill Murray) on assignment to cover Groundhog Day events in Punxsutawny Pennsylvania, finds himself repeating the same day over and over. This seems to be the case in the Sweetwater School District-new day, same old story. While the film is a highly ranked comedy, what's happening in Sweetwater doesn't have the taxpayers laughing. Isn't the Vega report the property of the public? We, through our school board representative (Mr. McCann), ordered the report, paid for it, and received it (in care of our school board). Now we're told we can't know what's in it?! Totally unacceptable! The Sweetwater Board must vote to release this report ASAP!
Didn't John McCann just run for the Sweetwater board last year? Now he's got his eye on the assembly? Hmmmm, doesn't he like the kids?
Why did the Vega report take this long? How do we know he did a thorough investigation--wasn't he the one who hired Garcia?
Where is the Vega report? I want to know if the district tried to spin the vote.
Attorney-client privilege? Bullshit!
The REAL clients here are taxpayers. The SUHSD used our money to hire lawyers to conduct contract negotiations with the faculty union. The lawyers also requested, and were granted, additional money to hire a PR guy.
Because we have an absolute right to know how that public money was spent and on what, the district hired--again, with public money--an investigator to, well, investigate and provide answers to these questions. We have an absolute right to see the results of this taxpayer-funded investigation. Otherwise, how can anyone ever know whether the investigation was up-and-up or a cover-up?

(Author's note: The following article was written on Dec. 15, 2011, two full weeks before distribution. It is highly likely that the facts of this case have changed since the writing and equally possible that the process of passing the bill have continued, stalled or reversed. The following article reflects only the facts as they were known at the time of writing.)
Earlier this week, a final version of the yearly defense spending bill was presented without a few of the promised anti-gay amendments.
Back in October, U.S. Rep. Buck McKeon (R‒CA) had sworn that the defense bill would not make it far unless amendments, concerning chaplains and gay marriage were included. Other Republicans were quick to join the fray, but ultimately the need to pass a defense bill surpassed their need to facilitate bigotry and the amendments were pulled.
At stake were the rights of military chaplains and same-sex couples.
Last September, after Don't Ask, Don't Tell (DADT) had ended, a memo released by the Pentagon authorized military chaplains to perform same-sex marriage ceremonies provided that "the ceremony is not prohibited by applicable state and local law." The memo continued "a chaplain is not required to participate in or officiate a private ceremony if doing so would be in variance with the tenants of his or her religion."
This language might sound familiar. It is called religious exemption, and many feel that it is unnecessary. Currently, if you are either a straight or a same-sex couple attempting to hire clergy for your wedding, they can decline for a variety of reasons. They don't know you, you aren't a part of their church or religion, they know you failed your pre-marriage counseling sessions, they know you refused to take pre-marriage counseling, they are busy, they are in a bad mood, they think you would be better matched with their nephew or the like.
The reason that "religious exemptions" are necessary is because groups like the National Organization for Marriage (NOM) and Focus on the Family have been so successful in their fear-mongering campaigns that people are concerned about clergy being forced to do dark diabolical deeds. The cry of "We must protect religion" is a battle cry that the Religious Right has fine-tuned into a pristine weapon against critical thinking, but that's another issue.
The September memo paved the way for same-sex marriage by military chaplains because the Obama administration had announced that the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) is unconstitutional and therefore they would no longer be defending it. The stage was set for political grandstanding.
The Religious Right/The Republican Party amped up their cries of intolerance and McKeon was one of the many beating that dead horse. "We think that chaplains should not be forced to do something that goes against their conscience," he said in October drawing a line in the sand concerning the defense bill.
Despite the bogusness of their implications, the public rallied and people raised grave concerns about forcing religious people to do unreligious things. Rep. Todd Akin (R‒MO) accused the Department of Defense of putting "the White House's liberal agenda ahead of following the law." He introduced amendments banning military chaplains from voluntarily officiating gay marriage ceremonies and barring any such ceremonies from military facilities.
The public rallied again. A defense bill is needed to clothe, support and maintain our military; were the Republicans so hard-headed that they would stall its passage?
Enter some statistics released this year by Gallup, which puts approval for same-sex marriage at more than 50% in the general population—53% to be exact (see chart).
We have now reached, or are about to reach, a tipping point in terms of same-sex marriage. As more and more people support the idea, the other side has only two options: dig in their heels and rely on their dwindling (yet still strong) numbers for support or back away with as much dignity as possible.
Eventually, and many think it won't be too terribly long, being an open bigot against the LGBT community will be on par with being openly racist. We aren't there yet, but the childish shenanigans on display by the Republicans are getting tired, even to their supporters.
Would they really be that petulant as to keep the defense bill from creation? It's hard to be the party of flag-waving, apple-pie-eating, true patriots when you are the ones blocking food and supplies to the military.
And so they backed down. The amendments were stripped.
But lest you think that they went quietly into the night—one little amendment remained.
"Any person who engages in unnatural carnal copulation with another person of the same or opposite sex or with an animal is guilty of sodomy. Penetration, however slight, is sufficient to complete the offense. Any person found guilty of sodomy shall be punished as a court-martial may direct."
The fact that sodomy is treated as the sister perversion to bestiality is horrific but apparently acceptable. The fact that couples (gay and straight) will need to curtail their sexual acts to only those on the approved "natural" list is downright shameful.
And yet the inclusion of this amendment was the compromise from the "liberal" side of the aisle. One can only hope that the defense bill was worth it.

Which American Music Award Performer Are You Most Excited to See? – Readers Poll
The 2012 American Music Awards are set for broadcast on Sunday, Nov. 18, and the performance lineup has us super excited to tune in. Christina Aguilera, Kesha, Justin Bieber, Pink and Nicki Minaj are just a few of the stars we can expect to see singing live, but which of these acts has you counting down the days till the American Music Awards?
We can expect Xtina to belt out 'Your Body' on the show, while Kesha will undoubtedly perform her newest hit (and our Top Song of 2012 so far!) 'Die Young.' We're thinking Bieber will perform a mashup of 'As Long as You Love Me' and 'Beauty and a Beat,' and hopefully Ms. Minaj will come out for her assist on the latter. Meanwhile, Pink may take the mashup route as well, performing a mix of 'Blow Me (One Last Kiss)' and 'Try.' Nicki Minaj will probably do the same for her solo performance, belting 'Va Va Voom' and maybe rapping 'The Boys' as well?
But these aren't the only entertainers set to take the AMAs stage, as Usher, Pitbull and Taylor Swift are also on the bill. It's hard to say which song Usher will sing, but starting off with 'Climax' and transitioning into the party track 'Scream' would make for a rousing performance. Pitbull will definitely rap along with his Eurodance single 'Don't Stop the Party,' and if we had to guess, we'd say the 'Red' pop princess will get the crowd singing along to 'We Are Never…' Swift could also sing 'Begin Again,' her latest single, or maybe she'll switch it up with 'I Knew You Were Trouble.'
We'll just have to wait until Nov. 18 to see exactly what's in store for the 2012 American Music Awards, airing on CBS, but which artist has you the most pumped for the show? Cast your vote below!

Marshall Football Signs Four Junior College Players
Dec. 19, 2007
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. - Marshall University Head Football Coach Mark Snyder announced the signing of four student-athletes to National Letters of Intent on Wednesday, the first day of the junior college signing period.
"I am extremely pleased with this group," Snyder said. "All four of these young men have the potential to make an impact at their positions and help our program. We wanted to go out and add depth to our junior class with more experienced athletes and I believe we were able to do that.
"We have large freshmen and sophomore classes in the program and I charged our coaching staff with going out and targeting junior college players that had three years to play two to add depth to our junior class and balance our numbers. Our coaches have done a great job."

'Today' Celebrates 60th Anniversary By Reuniting Former Anchors [VIDEO]
Long-running morning show mainstay 'Today' marked its 60th anniversary this morning. It's not often that a show celebrates six decades on the air and 'Today' did it in style by bringing all living former anchors together with the current crew in Studio 1A in Rockefeller Plaza.
Kathie Lee and Hoda Go Horsemaning on 'Today' [VIDEO]
Horsemaning, which you may recall is the new new planking, has made its way into the clammy, pinot grigio-soaked hands of the 'Today' show's fourth hour hostesses, Hoda Kotb and Kathie Lee Gifford.
A Tearful Meredith Vieira Confirms She's Leaving 'Today' [VIDEO]
Meredith Vieira confirmed this morning that she is leaving her post at 'Today' in June, ending weeks of rumors and speculation.
"After months of personal reflection and private conversations between my family and my friends, I've decided to leave Today in June," she said.
Report: Meredith Vieira Leaving 'Today'
And another one bites the dust.
Just days after Katie Couric announced she is leaving 'CBS Evening News,' the Hollywood Reporter brings word that Couric's 'Today' show replacement, Meredith Vieira, is leaving the top-rated morning news program in June.
Though unconfirmed, NBC is expected to make the announcement official as early as next week.
Taking Vieira's place will be long-time 'Today' show newsreader Ann Curry. Curry's spot will be filled by Natalie Morales.
Matt Lauer to Leave 'Today'?
Is NBC's long running morning news program 'Today' about to get a major facelift?
Over the past couple of days, news has circulated that hosts Matt Lauer and Meredith Vieira plan to leave the show when their contracts expire. Lauer in particular was at the center of Internet rumors today after reports claimed he had informed NBC executives of his departure, which would be in Dec. 2012.
However, NBC has since denied the reports, saying, "There seems to be an awful lot of speculation around news anchors these days, and it's not our practice to comment on any of it. Matt Lauer has a long-term contract with NBC News and TODAY."

Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by a compressed nerve in the wrist that causes symptoms in the hand. Pressure on the median nerve, which is inside a narrow passage in the wrist called the carpal tunnel, causes the nerve to malfunction. This nerve provides feeling to the thumb, index and middle fingers, and half the ring finger. It also controls several muscles in the hand, including the muscle that allows the thumb to touch the little finger. Compression occurs when the tissues in the carpal tunnel swell up.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Carpal tunnel syndrome is a repetitive strain injury. Although there are many causes for carpal tunnel syndrome, by far the most common is doing repetitive motions as part of your job. Many experts believe that the increased incidence of carpal tunnel syndrome is due to changes in workplace responsibilities in which one person commonly does a single task over and over again. There are approximately 1 million new cases every year.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Sirius XM (SIRI) rose slightly on Wednesday after Wunderlich Securities reiterated its "hold" rating and $3.50 price target on the stock.
"Even as competition within the car accelerates, we maintain a Hold rating on Sirius XM Radio (SIRI)," the firm wrote in a research note. "The lynchpin for potential 2020 operating income (and 2014 price target) remains annual customer additions, inclusive of reactivated radios, and pricing power.
"Google's new acquisition of Songza and Apple's purchase of Beats show that competition is gradually gravitating toward full ecosystem players more so than current music-streaming only entrants such as Spotify or even Pandora's 'Music Genome.' Yesterday, Apple also announced nine more CarPlay partners, including Audi, Chrysler, Dodge, and Mazda. With both Google and Apple courting global car makers, OEMs are now likely to pair Android and iOS capabilities."
STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12 months. Learn more.
The stock was up 0.73% to $3.46 at 10:41 a.m.
TheStreet Ratings team rates SIRIUS XM HOLDINGS INC as a Buy with a ratings score of B-. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation:
"We rate SIRIUS XM HOLDINGS INC (SIRI) a BUY. This is driven by a few notable strengths, which we believe should have a greater impact than any weaknesses, and should give investors a better performance opportunity than most stocks we cover. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, good cash flow from operations and expanding profit margins. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company is trading at a premium valuation based on our review of its current price compared to such things as earnings and book value."

Aigner Chocolates is serving up something extra sweet this year for Easter.
The chocolate company based in Forest Hills has been making chocolate bunnies of all sizes for decades, but this year, its three-foot-tall, 17-pound milk chocolate bunny named Harvey will satisfy more than a few chocolate cravings.
Customers can buy raffle tickets for $1 to have a chance to win Harvey, which has a retail value of $400. All proceeds for the raffle are going to the Fisher Center for Alzheimer Research, a regional charity that puts more than 80 percent of its money toward research.
The original owners of Aigner Chocolates — John Aigner and Ester Tarp — were both diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.
"It's very close to our hearts," said Christopher Aigner, the original owners' grandson and current vice president. "We thought this would be a fun and festive way to raise funds and awareness for fighting this terrible disease."
Harvey's name plays homage to James Stewart's invisible best friend in the 1950s classic "Harvey," one of the Aigner family's favorite films.
Smaller two-foot-tall chocolate bunnies named Easter Ester after Aigner's grandmother are available in dark, milk and white chocolate. Aigner Chocolates also sells an array of other chocolatey treats including chocolate-covered marshmallow peeps, German papier-mâché eggs and marshmallow eggs.

The No. 6 Baylor equestrian team (2-2) hits the road for the third-straight competition, taking on No. 6 Texas A&M (1-2) Saturday at 10:00 a.m. at the Brazos County Expo Complex.
The Lady Bears dropped a pair of road contests, falling to Oklahoma State (14-9) and Kansas State (10-9) on Oct. 16 and 17, respectively. The BU Hunt Seat riders are undefeated on the young season.
The Aggies hold a 5-3 lead in the all-time series, but Baylor has won the last three meetings. Last season, Baylor handed the Aggies their first and, to this date, only loss at the Expo Complex, 13-10 on Feb. 7.
For the competition against the Aggies, Melanie Appel, Heather Healy, Kim Woodsum, Margaret Beaudoin, Mary Smitson and Kaylin Enright will ride in Equitation on the Flat. In Equitation over Fences, Amanda Miller, Heather Healy, Kara Fergusson, Kendra Vicary, Lisa Goldman and Taylor Brown will ride. Horsemanship riders will be Allison Orosz, Ashley Garza, Lindsay Douglas, Lindsey Tomko, Meghan Murphy and Suzanna Nelson. Reining riders will be Katie Buss, Maddy Mooney, Amber Mooney, Valtie Riddle, Cody Wooten and Olivia Rogers.
A&M (1-2) is back in action at home after a tough road swing which saw the Aggies drop shows at Auburn and Georgia by a combined two points. The western riders enter the weekend on a 13-show win streak dating back to a loss at Baylor last fall. The Aggies are one of two undefeated western squads in the country in 2009.

casein allergens
Posted by iHerb Customer on Aug 23, 2012 | Verified Purchase
Avoid if you have any allergies to casein. They do not list what their milk sources are, and based on the severe inflammatory reaction it gave me, I'm going to say it's a mixed bag or from Holstein cows. I couldn't figure it out because I had a cold and it was making me worse. When I took it without being sick, it was a lot easier to tell that this was the culprit.

I usually order the pineapple flavor but I hit the wrong button and ordered these root beer by mistake. Awful flavor, no one in the family will eat them, including myself and the dogs.
great immune booster

the cherry-flavored one tastes better. If you like the taste of milk mingling with rootbeer this is the flavor for you. The colostrum itself is really good; it helped me recover from a cold in record time =)

Lindsay Rose-bot propels DP Robotics to LA Regional title
March 18, 2012
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
By Malika Agrawal | Features Editor | March 18, 2012
It was March Madness indeed for the Dos Pueblos Engineering's Team 1717 which overcame multiple first-day setbacks to battle back and capture first place Saturday at the FIRST Robotics Los Angeles Regional tournament in held in Long Beach.
Team 1717 joined with teams 987 from Las Vegas and team 3512 from Orcutt to go 2-0 in the finals to win the title and advance to the World Championships in St. Louis to be held April 25-27.
This year has been an emotional year for the D'Penguineers. The team, made up entirely of members of the class of 2012 are competing without Lindsay Rose who died in a surfing accident in 2009. To honor her passing, they named their robot Lindsay Rose. Rose's parents attended the competition in Long Beach.
Team member Phoebe Bradbury was thrilled with the D'Penguineers' triumph.
"Winning the competition made everything finally worth it," Bradbury said. "All the long nights in the machine shop, the 40 hours of not sleeping and my life pretty much going away, in that one moment–everything was finally worth it."
On Thursday morning at 7 am, Team 1717 assembled at the closed doors of the arena eagerly waiting for their robotics season to finally begin.
Unfortunately, Team 1717 had not completed their robot in time for bagging but during the little time they had before their first competition in the Long Beach Arena, they had prepared many fixtures that would make the Lindsay Rose Robot the highest scoring robot in any of the regional tournaments so far.
The team also faced another setback because they left a box of parts in the DP Engineering building, but luckily Dos Pueblos senior Mattea Stalie came to the rescue and brought the parts all the way from Goleta to Long Beach.
After 11 hours in the pit of non-stop working on the robot, they finally had the finished product up.
"A bunch of stress has been completely lifted," said Gwen Archambault. "I feel rewarded for all the work I put in. Initially we were pretty downhearted. The day we bagged everyone was in a bad mood, but on Thursday night when we saw that the robot was 119.1 pounds I think everyone got a lot happier."
Still the first day of competition saw the Chargers face more adversity as an overload of coding and technical difficulties caused the robot to be inactive for two of the seven matches.
"[It] was frustrating and pretty embarrassing especially because everyone knows Team 1717," said Nicky Perez. "it was a rookie mistake and we are a rookie team so we didn't know that our laptop would crash because of all that overload of code.
"That was really frustrating because we couldn't do anything about it but luckily we won both those matches but it felt bad because we didn't help contribute."
But after fixing the glitches, the D'Penguineers were practically unstoppable, especially after the qualifying round when the tournament's top-ranked team (987) selected them for their alliance.
Archambault, a member of Team 1717 was thrilled, but also relieved when the team overcame the early difficulties.
Perez, one of the drivers of this year's robot credits the team's success to the work they put in before the matches.
"We normally go over our matches and strategize before and that helps relieve the pressure," said Perez. "If you have the game plan it's a lot easier to work with your other team members but [the tension] is definitely built up to the final matches… working with [director Amir Abo] Shaeer and Lane [Fuller] they're pretty focused too so we're able to handle it.
It came down to the final two alliances, but Team 1717 was up to the challenge.
The first match of the finals began with one of Team 1717's alliance members getting tipped over, effectively making the match a two-on-three situation. Team 1717 and Team 987 kicked it into high gear to pick up the slack, but due to unknown issues, Team 987 lost communication with its driver station, leaving Team 1717 to compete versus three other teams — Team 294, Team 973 and Team 1836.
The D'Penguineers were able to utilize their extreme mobility and shooting capabilities to keep the alliance in the game until Team 987 could get back into action and, together, they led the alliance to a close victory with a final score of 48-39.

Canberra stayer Al Ahmar's back-to-back win in the Gundagai Cup (1800 metres) on Sunday helped pick up the mood around Barbara Joseph and Paul Jones' stables, but the death of jockey Nathan Berry was still foremost in their thoughts.
The mother-son training duo will be in Sydney for the funeral on Tuesday – both Berry and his identical twin Tommy have ridden horses for the stable.
"The family have been in the forethoughts of everyone in racing and getting a win, albeit at Gundagai, definitely helps pick up the mood, but I think it's going to be a tough day for everyone on Tuesday," Jones said.
Al Ahmar was the beneficiary of a cracking pace with jockey Richard Bensley putting the seven-year-old gelding second-last and about six lengths behind the leader.
Asclepius, the $3.60 favourite, reared up in the gates and missed the jump by about six lengths and was never in the hunt as Al Ahmar scored a soft two-length win from Jo Jo Girl, with Olly I Am another two lengths away in third.
The favourite battled on to finish fourth as the frontrunners tired.
Jones is considering running Al Ahmar next Sunday in the Murrumbidgee Cup (1800m) at Wagga.
Initially he was looking towards the Wagga Gold Cup (2000m), but he thought it might be a bit too strong for the son of Al Maher.
With Bensley able to ease Al Ahmar down to the post, Jones felt he would be able to back-up with ease after revelling in the heavy track.
"The Wagga Cup might be pretty strong so we're going to back him up next weekend at the Murrumbidgee Cup at the same distance," he said.
"It seems his pet distance, 1800m, he gets it out very strong, but 2000m he just struggles a little bit."
Jones said his smart filly Just A Blur would go to Warwick Farm on Wednesday and resume her rivalry with Nick Olive's Without A Shadow in the benchmark 70 handicap (1600m).
Olive's Lord Of The Isles and Matthew Dale's Meticulously have also been nominated for the race.
Jones said Caprossa will resume from a break at Caulfield on Saturday and is being set for the Wagga Town Plate (1200m) on May 1.

AVON LAKE — Anyone planning on heading to either of the city's two lakefront parks is advised not to go into the water. Tests show abnormally high levels of Escherichia coli bacteria, commonly known as E. Coli.
Results of tests posted Thursday on Avon Lake Water's Facebook page indicated E. coli levels measured 2,400 organisms per 100 milliliters of water at Veterans Beach, and 1,203 organisms per 100 milliliters at Miller Road Beach.
"The bacterial levels were about five times the recommended level at Miller Road Beach, and about 10 times the recommended level at Veterans' Beach," Todd Danielson, executive director of Avon Lake Public Utilities Department, said Friday.
Danielson blamed the high bacterial readings on a combination of sanitary sewer overflow that made its way into Lake Erie near the shoreline following this week's heavy storms and waste from wildlife, which can contain high levels of E. coli.
The good news is that with no heavy rain forecast for the weekend, "anticipated levels of bacteria are expected to come back down," Danielson said. "E. coli generally lives only a few days."
Visiting the beaches at either park shouldn't pose a problem for anyone, Danielson said.
"It's getting into the water where bacteria could be ingested (by inadvertently swallowing water or getting bacterially-laden water into the body through an open cut) that could cause problems," Danielson said.
"This is more of a near-shore phenomenon," Danielson said, noting that boaters who jump into the lake a few hundred yards from shore are not likely to experience any problems.
"A lot of it depends on currents," Danielson said. "As the distance from shore increases, the odds of lowered bacteria levels gets better."
Danielson said he had not received any reports of illness that likely would be associated with the raised bacterial levels.
Avon Lake officials routinely test lake-water samples four days a week, with Thursdays being the last day testing is done before the weekend.
While overflow of raw or untreated sewage from over-burdened sanitary sewers would be a more logical source of contamination, animal waste might not be. But Danielson said geese, which are plentiful in the area, are notorious for producing a good amount of waste.
"Geese can create a huge amount of E. coli," Danielson said.

Grand Mesa Softball League allows players to improve skills
Pitching against high school varsity hitters might be a little intimidating for a 13-year-old, but it's just what Elisha Jahnke needed.
"Pitching against some of the older girls has been nerve-racking," Jahnke said. "But it's been fun, and a good experience for me."
Jahnke plays in the Grand Mesa Competitive Softball League during the week. On the weekend, she pitches for the 14-under GJ Force, a traveling team.
Jahnke said after facing high school players, pitching against her own age group is a lot easier.
"When I go back with the Force, it's not as hard," Jahnke said. "The best part for me has been pitching against the older girls, and I think I've done well against them."
Jahnke is on one of nine teams in the Grand Mesa competitive league this summer, and her experience is exactly what Scott Else was envisioning last year when he started the league.
"You can't simulate live game situations," Else said. "They are getting 21 games in the season where they have time to work on skills."
Twice a week from late May through June, players who are on summer traveling teams or high school teams play league games at Grand Mesa Little League.
The emphasis is on improving skills, not winning and losing.
The league has nine teams, with players ages 13-17. Six of the teams are high school or summer teams, with three more rosters formed from players from various teams looking for more playing time.
Else, the league president and founder, coaches his daughter's team. Taylor Else plays infield for Central High School.
Scott Else said all the teams are fairly equal.
"There are a couple of teams that are a little better than the rest, but most of the games are pretty competitive," Else said. "Most parents say this has been the best thing to happen to
softball in this town."
The goal of the league is to allow the girls, who spend most of their weekends traveling to tournaments from Salt Lake City to Denver, to work on their skills at home during the week.
Mike Hindson coaches of the Cowboys, which draws players from Central, Grand Junction and West Middle School.
Hindson says the games are a competitive practice.
"This allows them to stay on top of their game and better themselves," Hindson said. "If someone's got a weakness on a changeup, they're going to work on it in these games."
Jahnke is on a team made up of players from throughout the Grand Valley.
Basalt, Palisade and Montrose each have a team in the league. Montrose had enough players interested to field a varsity and JV team. For Palisade, the league provides the Bulldogs the chance to play together all summer to be more prepared for the fall season when August rolls around.
"This league has been fantastic, and they have all improved," Palisade summer coach Tass Crow said. "It's been fun to see the competition, and it helps when we get to our (Western Slope) league because our league isn't as strong as (the Southwestern League), so getting to see teams and players from Junction, Fruita and Central has made us better."
Crow's daughter, Emily, is a pitcher on the team, and said she hopes the time spent in the summer can help the Bulldogs improve on a 3-5 league record from last year.
"This summer we are doing a lot better because we are getting used to playing with each other and we are becoming more of a team," Emily Crow said. "We're all looking to improve, so we can start winning more games in our league."
The summer league wraps up its season this week, and Else expects next summer to be even bigger. In only its second season, the league expanded by three teams.
"All the high school coaches love it, and I think it'll keep growing," Else said.

Demi Moore Reportedly Hospitalized, Seeking Treatment for 'Exhaustion'
Have Demi Moore's marital issues taken a toll on her health? TMZ says the soon-to-be-ex Mrs. Ashton Kutcher was rushed to a Los Angeles-area hospital late Monday night after 911 was called. Paramedics who arrived at her home reportedly spent 30 minutes checking her out before bringing her in for treatment.
According to Moore's rep, she's suffering from the go-to celebrity ailment of exhaustion, but sources contend to TMZ that she will be "placed in a facility" and treated for "substance abuse," although there are no details on the alleged substance involved.
"Because of the stresses in her life right now, Demi has chosen to seek professional assistance to treat her exhaustion and improve her overall health," her rep said in a statement. "She looks forward to getting well and is grateful for the support of her family and friends."
Since her November split with Kutcher, Moore has kept a low profile. But on the few occasions when she's ventured out, the tabloids have been quick to point out her slimmed-down figure.
Life & Style also hinted at problems a few weeks prior to the couple's breakup announcement.
"Demi had been sober for a long time -- decades -- but recently it's gotten bad," an insider alleged to the tab. "Ashton loves her, but he can't stick around and watch her do this to herself."
The actress, who is mom to daughters Rumer, 23, Scout, 20, and Tallulah, 17, with ex-husband Bruce Willis, spent two weeks in rehab in 1984 at the urging of her "St. Elmo's Fire" director, Joel Schumacher.

wikiHow to Plant Your First Garden
A basic 101 guide on how to plant a beautiful garden.
1Buy seeds. Seeds are very inexpensive at your local dollar market. Alternately, you can start with bedding plants (or seedlings).
2Find a spot in your yard or in a local community garden that gets both sun and shade. Ideally, some parts of it should get full sun (6 hours of continuous sunshine per day), and some parts should get partial sun (either dappled sun, or full sun for less than 6 hours per day). Even if parts of your garden are in total shade, there are a variety of plants (including foliage plants and even flowers) that can flourish.
3Prepare the soil. There are at least two ways to do this.
- Dig and churn up all of the packed dirt about 2 feet (0.6 m) down. Add compost and mix it into your dirt. This can be very exhausting work and often requires the use of power equipment. It is often ineffective, especially if you live in a new suburban area where they likely took all the good topsoil away before they started constructing the homes.
- Build a box and fill it with good soil.
4Plant seeds. Read the instructions on the back of the seed package, or on the plastic tag in your plant pot. You may have to ask experts when to plant them if it does not say on the back. Plant bedding plants when you are sure you can. Some seeds (such as tomatoes) should be started indoors, in small pots or seed trays, before the last frost, and only transplanted outdoors when the weather warms up.
5Water your plants every other day. Don't drown them in water.
6Watch your beautiful garden grow!
Community Q&A
How do you design a garden?wikiHow ContributorDraw a sketch of the area that will become your garden on a piece of paper, then map out where your plants will go after researching what will grow in your area and climate.
What is the best place to buy tomato seeds?wikiHow ContributorIt depends on where you live and how many you want. A couple of good places are Territorial Seeds and Victory Seeds, and if you need serious bulk, Hazzard Seeds.
Do the flowers digest?wikiHow ContributorNo, plants harness energy through the process of photosynthesis instead. Only some carnivorous plants digest, such as the venus fly trap, which has digestive enzymes.

- If you live near a horse farm, ask them if they have any horse manure compost to spare. This also makes great fertilizer!
- Have fun!
- Putting leftover, wet coffee grounds around your veggies in the garden is a natural way to keep slugs and other garden "pests" out. Plus, it adds beauty to the garden.
- Making a compost pile is a free and Eco-friendly way to nourish your garden.
- Perennial = comes up every year
- Put plant food or compost it in the hole with your seed or seedling to help the plant or seed to establish itself.
- You really don't need an enormous space to yield a good amount of plants, flowers, veggies or herbs. Many interesting gardens can be grown in a variety of containers.
- In most locations, dark green leafy veggies will continue to grow until there's a frost.
- Annual = needs to be planted again every year
- Don't throw away earthworms or kill them! They help aerate the soil to make your growing more successful. Put them back into the soil as you turn it over.
- A pick axe is a great way to break up hard ground. So is a pitchfork or a shovel.
- It helps if you add flowers in your vegetable garden to help attract bees and other pollinators.
- Learn how to compost and then use it as the rich soil matter it will turn into!
- Be creative. Be classic. Make your garden you.
- As far as planting vegetables, you don't always have to start from seed. You can plant most veggies that have started to "go bad" because they've grown roots. Or there are nurseries that sell "starts".
- You don't have to plant flowers in rows. Intertwining patterns usually come out very nice.
- Watch out for pesky animals and birds who will try to eat your garden. To avoid trouble with them, put up a fence.
- Don't use a lot of fertilizer.
- Please have someone knowledgeable show you how to use earth turning tools to get quick results while not hurting yourself physically.
- Use pesticides sparingly. Check what types of insects/animals feed off pests such as aphids and try to encourage them into your garden.
- When using plant food such as Miracle-Gro, do not use too much! This will cause burns to the roots because the mixture is too strong for the plant to handle. Always read the directions in the back of the box/package to prevent this.
Things You'll Need
- Soil
- Some kind of digging tools, unless you want to use your hands
- Seeds, plants or starts
- Water (about once or twice a week)

Punjab has seen enough bloodshed: DGP
Onkar Singh in Chandigarh | March 10, 2006 12:21 IST
Dismissing speculations on Punjab plunging back into disorder, state Director General of Police S S Virk has promised to come down heavily on anyone trying to revive terrorism in Punjab either directly or indirectly.
In an exclusive interview to rediff.com, Virk said he was contemplating action against the television organization, which had aired a programme, Desh Droh, which gave an opportunity to the separatist elements to voice their frustration.
"Let me assure the people of the country that Punjab police takes pride in crushing terrorism and we would certainly not allow its resurrection in any form and from any quarter," Virk said.
"Punjab has gone through lot of bloodshed and now they have got peace and is making economic progress. This is not to the liking of certain elements that are bent upon disturbing this peace and I am sure the people of Punjab would not permit such elements to return to the days of militancy," he added.
"Militancy died in the state 15 years ago and we are not going to let anyone revive it," asserted Virk.
"This is a highly condemnable programme. An attempt is being made to bring the Sikhs back to disrepute," he retorted.

World health officials had hoped to reduce the number of deaths due to malaria by 50% between 2000 and 2010. They got halfway there, according to the latest estimates of the world burden of malaria, released today by the World Health Organization. The World Malaria Report 2011 calculates that malaria mortality fell by 25% in the last decade. In 2010, an estimated 655,000 people died of malaria. That is 5% fewer than the estimates for 2009. 86% of the victims were children younger than 5, and 91% were in Africa.
The report attributes the decrease to the major boost in funding that malaria prevention programs have enjoyed, but it predicts that 2011 may be a high-water mark. The world spent roughly $2 billion on malaria control this year. "That is likely to decrease the next two years," says Robert Newman, director of the WHO Global Malaria Programme. To fully fund control efforts, including insecticide-treated bed nets, indoor insecticide spraying, disease surveillance and treatment programs would require more than $5 billion, he says.
The report also documents a worrying increase in resistance—both of mosquitoes to insecticides and of the malaria parasite to artemisinin, the most powerful drug available to treat it. Mosquitoes resistant to pyrethroids, the only insecticide used on treated bed nets, have been reported in 39 countries. Scientists are working to understand how that might affect their control efforts, and have developed guidelines to try to manage resistant mosquito populations.
Resistance to artemisinins was found in the border region of Cambodia and Thailand in 2009; it is now suspected to have spread to Myanmar and Vietnam. The good news is that artemisinin combination therapies—which use artemisinin in combination with other drugs—are still very effective.
The report also lays out the next major control targets: By 2015, reduce malaria deaths to "near zero" and reduce malaria cases by 75% compared with 2000. Whether the world comes close to reaching those goals depends on sustained, and increased, funding, Newman says. The disease is both preventable and treatable, he says. "No one should die from malaria for lack of a $2 bed net, a 50 cent diagnostic test, and a $1 treatment."

I went through and read the interviews you mentioned again, and I listened to some of the songs mentioned in it. This one has to be by far one of my favorites. It has an upbeat feeling, mixed in with a little bit of melancholy. That's a blend I've only ever heard done well in a lot of Steve Jablonsky's work. Simply beautiful! I'm in envy of your music composition skills.
If you still remember, could you tell me what vsts/sample libraries you used? Especially for the strings. Those strings gave me chills!
If I remember correctly, everything in this piece was a soundfont. The piano was Gallahaut's Steinway SF2, the first piano soundfont I relied on. The strings are from the Touhou SF, which is really a set of sounds from a Panasonic keyboard that Zun used to make the OST for his games. The chimes also come from the Touhou SF, though I'd do them a bit naturally today.
Sorry it took me ages to reply; I only saw this review today. I really should keep on top of things. Thanks for listening, meep!

Love this song. I love how it perfectly loops. Although, that's probaly how most of the 'loops' work. :P
Some loops cut to repeat, others fade to repeat, so I say it depends... I usually fade to repeat, because I love seamless loops. At any rate, thanks for listening -- I'm glad you loved it! ^_^
Rated 5 / 5 stars
This song is just beautiful! I love the instruments you used! Also, when I saw your reply to the review under mine, I was thinking, "Wait, WHAT! TOUHOU SOUNDFONTS! OH YEAH!" But anyways... The violins and jingling (I have no clue what it's called. XD) give it that magical feeling and the piano and lower strings give it that RPG-like quality. You did a great job on this! :D
Those are chimes (you could either use sleigh bells or bell trees if you did this in real life, they would give the same effect).
I'm glad you loved this song very much. Thanks for listening! ^_^
