In the past, recommended dosages for creatine were simple. Athletes were
told to take so many grams for so many days or weeks to load up on the
nutrient, then take a lower maintenance dose of so many grams from that
point on. While these recommendations had the advantage of simplicity, they
also resulted in some athletes getting too much creatine for their needs,
while others wound up taking too little to achieve the maximum possible
gains. Therefore, in this book we are providing you with tables for loading
and maintenance that take into consideration the two most important
variables: bodyweight and exercise intensity. This will allow you to
fine-tune your creatine supplementation to your particular muscle mass and
workout schedule.
Foods That Contain Creatine
One way to get part of the creatine you need is to consume the skeletal
muscles of other animals. Just as human muscle contains creatine, so does
the muscle of most mammals and fish. As you can see in Table 1, the amount
of creatine in most meats is relatively constant, staying within a narrow
range of four to five grams per kilo (2.2 lb). Cod has a lower amount
because of its high water content. While it seems logical that chicken and
turkey also contain creatine, the precise quantity of the nutrient in these
meats is currently not known.
While you can get some of the creatine you need from these protein sources,
you shouldn't dramatically increase your meat and fish consumption in order
to pump your muscles full of this nutrient. Remember that meats and fish
contain a lot more than creatine. All animal flesh contains relatively high
amounts of cholesterol, which has been associated with hardening of the
arteries (atherosclerosis). Also, most meats, especially beef and pork,
contain high quantities of saturated fats. For example, one kilogram (2.2
lb) of raw round steak contains only four grams of creatine, but 119 grams
of fat. Porterhouse steak has a bit less creatine, but 325 grams of fat per
kilo! You won't live to see your 90s if you clog your arteries with the fat
and cholesterol from all the meat you'd have to eat to get enough creatine
to improve your strength and power. Moreover, this fat content can
dramatically increase the total number of calories you consume each day.
Unless your exercise intensity and volume increase at the same rate, you
will wind up gaining unwanted pounds of body fat. A far better solution is
to take the non-fat, non-cholesterol supplement known as creatine
The Loading Phase
The concept of a loading phase came from the scientific studies done in the
early 1990s. A 1992 study by Harris found that a low dose of creatine
monohydrate (one gram) produced only modest increases in the blood level of
creatine and no appreciable increase in muscle. Other studies with low
dosages had similar results. On the other hand, Harris discovered that five
grams given four to six times per day resulted in a sustained rise in blood
levels and a significant accumulation of creatine in the muscle fibers. It
was therefore determined that higher creatine levels in muscle could only
be achieved if there were a consistent elevation in the amount of creatine
in the blood stream over a prolonged period of time.

Rapid Prototyping or RP describes a number of technologies that includes 3D printing. Turning an X-Y process into the 3rd dimension. The technologies involved keep getting better in resolution and larger size components that can be made. Fortunately, other advances are making the technology more affordable. Advances in the open source community for microcontrollers like Arduino are allowing designers to easily and affordably copy these big brother technologies in a desk top version. Here at the Cyber Wigwam we added the Makerbot 3D printer to exhibit the capability of 3D printing. Soon, tepees and arrowheads in 3D will be adorning the cyber Wigwam. At the root of the Makerbot is the Arduino micorcontroller technology. Massimo Banzi presents an excellent overview of open source ideals and how it impacts creativitiy below.

Where is time going? I can't believe I'm already 30 weeks! Lets take a look at week 29…
How Big is Baby?
According to thebump.com the baby is the size of a squash from weeks 29-32! Here is some other information I found,
Baby's energy is surging, thanks to the formation of white fat deposits beneath the skin. (Have those kicks and jabs to the ribs tipped you off yet?) Baby is also settling into sleep and waking cycles, though — as you've also probably noticed — they don't necessarily coincide with your own. Also this month, all five senses are finally functional, and the brain and nervous system are going through major developments.
And according to babycenter.com,
Your baby now weighs about 2 1/2 pounds (like a butternut squash) and is a tad over 15 inches long from head to heel. His muscles and lungs are continuing to mature, and his head is growing bigger to make room for his developing brain. To meet his increasing nutritional demands, you'll need plenty of protein, vitamins C, folic acid, and iron. And because his bones are soaking up lots of calcium, be sure to drink your milk (or find another good source of calcium, such as cheese, yogurt, or enriched orange juice). This trimester, about 250 milligrams of calcium are deposited in your baby's hardening skeleton each day.
How I'm Feeling Physically
Week 29 was a great week. I felt strong, rested and energized. That could have been from all the festivities that surround Thanksgiving week though! : ) I was able to get in five workouts, three yoga practices and lots of dog walks with Quincy and Keith. I've had to slow down exercise a bit only when I feel Braxton Hicks happening, but other than that I've felt really amazing! I can tell the baby is getting a lot bigger and she loves nestling into my right side and up under my ribs. Breathing can sometimes be a bit difficult and I usually have to adjust my body to make it more comfortable. Also, I can tell I am still getting wider in my core area and my baby bump grew a lot form week 28 to week 29. My gym shirts that fit me just a few weeks ago now ride up on my stomach and I'm constantly pulling them down!
How I'm Feeling Emotionally
Emotionally I'm doing just as good as always, just a bit antsy to meet my baby girl! I really hope the holidays distract me for the next four weeks! Then all I will have to do is get through January before Cameryn is here. My mom booked a flight out for Super Bowl Sunday (February 5th) and I can't wait for her to get here and see my large stomach! The baby's due date got pushed back to February 8th, so it will be nice having company to hang out with in the final days of my pregnancy. Although I think she is going to be here around February 2nd. I'm having a lot of fun connecting to her with Keith at night when she is going crazy and kicking away in my stomach. It is so strange to see your stomach moving when you are just sitting there. I love when the three of us bond over the kicks and movements!
Random Tidbits
- Weight Gained so Far: about 18lbs
- Days Until Due Date: 70
- Weeks Until Furniture is Delivered: I'm hoping 1-2
- Things Still to Buy Cameryn: Lots
- Cravings: Pineapple and Peppermint Bark
- Workouts so Far this Week: 2 gym, 1 yoga and 1 dog walk

About That 'Scalpel' . . .
Medicare Advantage is the one part of the budget Obama will cut.
President Obama often claims he wants to cut the budget smartly, using a "scalpel"—not a meat axe, machete, cleaver or chainsaw, to list a few of his favorite metaphors. He'll need a more inspired term to describe what he's now doing to Medicare Advantage, perhaps napalm or WMD.
The Affordable Care Act drained $306 billion from this growing version of Medicare that 29% of seniors use to escape the traditional entitlement and obtain modern private insurance, but the Administration is imposing the cuts in ways that are even more harmful than the law requires. The post-election timing is no accident.
In 2012 only 4% of the Medicare Advantage cuts were scheduled under the law, but the folks who run Medicare at the Health and Human Services Department improvised a $3.8 billion nationwide "demonstration project" that paid bonus subsidies to Medicare Advantage insurers to improve quality. The project couldn't demonstrate anything because the payments went to 90% of insurers regardless of quality, but they did cancel out most of the 2012 cuts. That did the trick for voters in Scottsdale or Boca Raton who might have noticed higher costs or lost the coverage they have and prefer.
Federal auditors suggested the project was illegal, but in any case it is now winding down and HHS is making up for lost time. Even as ObamaCare-mandated cuts of roughly 3.4% hit in 2014, out of nowhere HHS gamed the complex formula to conjure a new 2.2% cut in the fixed payments that insurers receive for each senior they cover under Advantage.
Folding in ObamaCare's $8 billion tax on insurers next year that is the equivalent of a smaller subsidy, the Medicare Advantage cuts will total anywhere from 6.9% to 7.8%. Thus Advantage will become the only entitlement for which real spending will fall slightly year over year and continue to decline, even as health costs rise and more people join the program. Mr. Obama would never tolerate this in any other area of government, no matter what tool was used.
The cuts translate into lower benefits, higher premiums or both, and the liberal goal is to induce seniors and insurers to flee the program, much as Bill Clinton starved the Advantage forerunner known as Medicare+Choice in the 1990s. Yet for the past several years enrollment has climbed at an 8% to 10% clip annually, versus 3% for normal fee-for-service Medicare.
The Administration can't abide that Medicare Advantage is stealing customers from government control, while also exposing the failure of traditional Medicare's cost control. Medicare Advantage shows that more dynamic and efficient private alternatives can generate better health-care value than a room of wise men deciding how the government should pay for tens of thousands of services.
A shelf of academic and industry research shows that the care coordination and disease management in private plans result in higher quality than fee for service, including lower hospital readmission rates and better outcomes for seniors with chronic conditions. No less than the liberal Princeton health economist Uwe Reinhardt recently conceded that "robust empirical evidence" is convincing him that competition among plans creates "powerful incentives to improve the quality of the care they procure for patients." This is like the Sierra Club conceding that the coal industry has redeeming qualities.
The tragedy is that Medicare Advantage architecture is far from perfect and HHS could save money if it wanted to, in particular by targeting the private fee-for-service plans that mimic all of traditional Medicare's dysfunctions except with an element of private profit. But that approach conflicts with the Administration's political goal of strangling Medicare Advantage in the crib.
The new HHS payment cuts will be finalized in a week or so, and even some Democrats are protesting that they are too much too fast—including Senate Finance Chairman Max Baucus, who designed the original cuts. Unfortunately for them and their constituents, Mr. Obama would rather destroy a model for true Medicare reform than let seniors choose.

I have a degree in Journalism, the CELTA, have experience teaching English in Dublin, Ireland and just recently taught for a year in South Korea. There were hundreds of recruiters for Korea and job boards, but I'm having a hard time figuring out how you go about finding a job in Costa Rica? Does any one use a recruiter? If so, do you have any you could recommend? Are there job websites where you apply to schools directly? Any and all information would be greatly appreciated! Please help me out! Many thanks!

Sometimes Craigslist has something. I know Maximo Nivel, where I taught, started posting on Craigslist for jobs. You can always check the Tico Times if you're in country. Search around the forum a bit for schools. I know Politecnico (sp?) in Heredia has a Web site and mentions ESL jobs on it. Maximo Nivel has a site as well, but I don't think you can apply for jobs on it and they don't post jobs there I believe. You can always call though. There's a Berlitz location in San Jose and somewhere else I think. Intercultura in Heredia I hear is good. Just be careful of the jobs that have you shuttling around the city and pay by the hour. It can be rough unpredictable with the pay. I worked with Maximo Nivel and the great thing about them is they have most of their classes onsite at their offices in San Pedro, pay salary based on a maximum hour schedule (very resonable and if you work more, you get paid more) and also help with transport costs if you do travel to locations to teach. Overall, you'll find jobs by e-mailing the schools and asking, literally walking in the door with a resume, word-of-mouth, or sometimes on this forum. Good luck!

Of course, this will still involve washing windows, but think of all the sunshine that action will allow in. You may still have closets to organize, but imagine how prepared you will be for a trip to the beach or a spontaneous weekend away. Consider how many fresh-picked berries and summer produce your refrigerator could hold once you've emptied it out and thoroughly cleaned its shelves. Delight in the feeling that a freshly mopped floor has to newly naked feet.
A great advantage of "Clean Springing" is that it is not limited to one season of the year. "Clean Springing" should be considered an act that redeems us from the bondage of our current inhibitions.

Growing up as I did, in the shadow of the Statue of Liberty, it's hard not to appreciate "the law of the gift": protect, defend, nourish, share. Liberty is a great treasure. We have tremendous responsibility here.
Almost hidden in a corner of the famous Philadelphia Museum of Art is the image of a man. He seems to embody a tender authority. The artist described this particular image of Jesus as "a portrait of Jesus from life." Rembrandt "offers for our contemplation a face of Christ that is at one and the same time the most humanly human and the most divinely divine ever created by an artist," Pierre-Marie Dumont writes in the monthly devotional Magnificat. "He takes us along on the spiritual quest that drove him to contemplate the man Jesus in order to discover the true God."
That man is the reason so many of us had Wednesday - and maybe even Tuesday - off from work. He's the reason we deck the halls and give gifts. But what about the gifts we have? There's that liberty. Faith is another big one for many. And then there is family. We may not all have the perfect models of the family unit - perhaps we did and lost it, perhaps it all fell apart with a bad decision or a sudden mistake or abrupt end. Or maybe it's just foreign - and something we don't even read about anymore, because we all too often give priority to making room for new normals instead of the old standbys that do seem to make natural and demographic sense.
St. Therese of Lisieux was a cloistered Carmelite nun with a mission. "I wish to travel the world, proclaiming your name throughout the earth," she declared in prayer to Christ, shortly before her death. But her health prevented her from leaving the convent. Nevertheless, her mission continues.
Sculptor Fleur Nabert built a reliquary of St. Therese and her parents, commissioned by the Magnificat Foundation. "I spent the last two years working for her," Nabert says.
St. Therese's parents, Louis and Zelie Martin, became the first parents of a saint to be beatified, by Pope Benedict in 2008.
"Their story is very moving because it was a true human story marked by many sorrows and ordeals," Nabert notes in appreciation. "They lost four children out of nine. Zelie had to struggle with a breast cancer, which eventually overtook her," she says. "They were also hard workers: Louis as a watchmaker and Zelie as a lacemaker. Their lives are very close to ours. They succeeded in experiencing sanctity in marriage, sanctity in family, without losing confidence in God. They kept their hope and faith, even raising five girls who would became nuns, one among them becoming one of the world's most popular saints." Their lives witness to the possibility of living life on earth with eyes toward Heaven.
Nabert's creation included flowers, representing each family member. "But my favorite parts of the reliquary are the big wedding rings," she tells me. "I wanted them like a reminder: Through the sacrament of marriage, we can experience heaven." The sacrament, she reflects, is "the treasure of married life ... the fountain of graces from which we can spread love on children and around us. Marriage ... is a miracle to protect everyday."
If marriage is a miracle, aren't we a culture of increasingly little faith!
"The ensemble is protected by a transparent case in the shape of an arch to remind us that the Christian family is a domestic Church, the first place where we practice sanctity," a description of the reliquary explains. It's another manger scene. In the Nativity, we see a loving husband and father protecting his wife and son, even under unplanned circumstances and duress. History owes that couple.
Centuries later, in Rembrandt's depiction of that Holy Child, the "entire canvas is covered in a dark brown background, like the shadow of sin that engulfs all humankind," Dumont writes. "Then, from the very core of this abyss emerges a gentle light that warms without burning, that illuminates without blinding, that consoles without condemning. Thus, from the heart of sin, grace flows forth." The Divine Light is what the star over Bethlehem directed the wise to. Heaven made manifest on earth, in our very humanity.
There's a lot of controversy, glee and confusion about what Pope Francis has in mind when he implores a radical concern about the poor, suffering, sick and lonely - anyone who is vulnerable, which pretty well covers the globe. In the letter he published this year, having been largely penned by his predecessor, faith is defined as a light that illuminates everything. That's it. That's why Christmas matters in real, enduring ways that ought to infect everyday life throughout the year. A gift more ever-present than a lady in a harbor.

* Treasury's pay czar meant to limit high pay at bailed-out firms
* Czar pressured on pay by companies, lacks own standard: watchdog
By Anna Yukhananov
WASHINGTON, Jan 28 (Reuters) - The U.S. Treasury Department failed to curb executive pay last year for the second year running at companies rescued by the government, an internal watchdog charged on Monday.
The Treasury's pay czar, or "special master," was tasked with limiting "excessive" pay at companies the government bailed out using taxpayer money during the financial crisis.
But the Office of the Special Master did not follow the rules it had set for compensation, instead letting companies define pay themselves, according to a report by the inspector general for the government's bailout program.
In 2012, the pay czar acceded to company requests in approving multi-million dollar pay packages and pay hikes for top executives at General Motors, AIG and Ally Financial.
The pay czar approved all 18 pay raises requested by the companies, for a total of $6.2 million, and approved pay packages of at least $1 million for 68 of the 69 employees at the companies it was overseeing, the report found.
"While taxpayers struggle to overcome the recent financial crisis and look to the U.S. government to put a lid on compensation for executives of firms whose missteps nearly crippled the U.S. financial system, the U.S. Department of the Treasury continues to allow excessive executive pay," the report said.
Special Inspector General Christy Romero said it was not surprising companies asked for large pay packages and higher pay. "But what we saw in 2012 that is somewhat different than prior years is that this time the companies pushed back on pay, but they seemed to have met no resistance," she said in an interview.
Romero is tasked with overseeing the government's Troubled Asset Relief Program or TARP, which pumped $68 billion into AIG, $50 billion in GM and $17 billion in Ally Financial, among others, to save them from collapse during the 2007-2009 crisis.
In December, the Treasury sold the last of its common stock in AIG and said it plans to sell its remaining shares in automaker GM in the next year or so, leaving Ally as the last major company that still owes the government under TARP.
The acting pay czar, Patricia Geoghegan, said her office achieved its mission, cutting average cash compensation for the top 25 executives at bailed-out companies from what they were getting prior to the TARP bailout.
In 2011 and 2012, the office also froze pay for the chief executives of General Motors, AIG, and Ally Financial.
But last year, Romero's office found pressure from financial institutions undermined efforts to limit executive pay at bailed-out companies, especially as some Treasury officials were more concerned with getting TARP funds back than in limiting pay.
Romero said the situation has worsened since then. Contrary to recommendations the inspector general made last year, the pay czar's office has not developed procedures for how to decide compensation or when to determine high salaries are warranted.
"Without developing some criteria ... Treasury put itself in a position of essentially letting the companies drive what pay Treasury was approving," she said.
Under the rules governing pay for TARP recipients, cash salaries are supposed to rarely exceed $500,000. But in 2012, 70 percent of the top executives at TARP recipients overseen by the government had cash salaries of $500,000 or more, a number that has quadrupled since 2009, the report said. Ninety-four percent got cash compensation of $450,000 or more.
Romero said in one situation, the Treasury approved a pay raise of $50,000 for one GM employee because the company wanted to "do a little extra for him."
"This shows the complete lack of appreciation that GM has for the fact that they're owned by taxpayers, and that Americans are in tight budgets and don't have any extra (funds)," she said.
In another case, the pay czar approved a $200,000 pay raise for an employee of Residential Capital LLC, the bankrupt mortgage lending unit of Ally, despite knowing the unit was about to go bankrupt.
Romero said the government's pay curbs were unlikely to have a lasting impact.
The report found it likely AIG will return to its "past practices" in setting high executive compensation now that it has repaid the government's TARP funds.
"The responsibility shifts to the Federal Reserve Board to ensure that AIG does not encourage excessive risk taking through compensation," the report said.

If you follow the rules, finding images for presentations, blog posts, or even print can be difficult. You have to worry about licenses, attribution, and finding an image that is large enough to fit your needs. At Ars we know a little something about this—we use a lot of images and do a lot of searching and sifting. Many times we come up empty handed. The problem isn't that there is a lack of content—it's finding content that we can safely use. Most Web-based searches aren't very good; they offer a limited number of results per page, finding different sizes can often take multiple clicks, and getting attribute information is often a copy and paste nightmare.
Viewfinder, a new application from Connected Flow, aims to make the entire process easier, and I'm happy to say it does. While there are lots of places to find images, Viewfinder only makes use of one source: Flickr. This may be less than ideal for some, but Flickr has a plethora of content, and for most, will have something they can use.
The application makes use of a single-window interface, not unlike a Finder window in icon view. From here you can tailor your search criteria by choosing one or more licenses that fit your needs. You can sort by relevance, interest, or date, and select a minimum size that the images must meet. Once you enter a search term, images are displayed with their name and size, and are resizable via a slider. From the main window you can set your desktop image, insert an image directly into keynote, or open the Flickr page that the image belongs to in your Web browser of choice.
Where Viewfinder really shines is within its download manager. Once you download an image, you can have all the attribution information automatically copied to your clipboard. This information includes a Flickr user name as well as an
http://flic.kr short URL. The application will also copy pertinent information into the IPTC metadata fields of the image.
The app is smooth to scroll through images once the application loads them from Flickr, even when there are several hundred displayed. Similarly, image scaling is also quick and painless. My only really complaint is that the application offers you no way to log in to Flickr, so it only searches images that are viewable to the general public.
While I haven't had a chance to put it through all of its paces yet, Viewfinder appears to be a handy, snappy utility for anyone that has to search for images with a specific Creative Commons license. The introductory price of around $25 may be too steep for some, and it's only compatible with Snow Leopard. However, for anyone that has to search for images daily, it's a steal.

It is important that physical activity be a regular part of family life. Studies have shown that lifestyles learned as children are much more likely to stay with a person into adulthood. If sports and physical activities are a family priority, they will provide children and parents with a strong foundation for a lifetime of health.
Before school age, children should stay physically active and healthy through unstructured "free play." For preschool-aged children, "sports" classes that emphasize fun are a great way to introduce athletics without competition. Most older children are ready for organized team sports when they are about 6 years of age. This is when they can follow directions and understand the concept of teamwork.
Keep in mind that all children are unique individuals. They grow and mature at different rates. Age, weight, and size shouldn't be the only measures used to decide if your child is ready to play a sport. Emotional development is also important. Children shouldn't be pushed into a sport or placed in a competition they are not physically or emotionally ready to handle. Consider allowing your child to participate only if his interest is strong and you feel he can handle it. Remember, most children play sports to have fun.
The AAP recommends that physical education programs in schools emphasize lifetime sports (as well as activities that are not just for the best athletes). These lifetime sports include

Reef club events **PLEASE READ**
In the continuing effort to curb forum spam while at the same time supporting the local clubs the staff of Reef Central asks that advertising club events remain limited to the forum of the club holding the event. Additional advertising is provided in the announcement forum and in Reef Keeping magazine. Neighboring clubs who wish to support each others events can do so by having a club officer post the neighbors event in their forum. This will prevent conflict between club events and help reduce the possibility of abuse while allowing each club the privilege of advertising in the forums provided through the web site. We realize the importance of club events and the need to advertise them but at the same we all must respect the boundaries of our neighbors, as the events they are holding are just as important to them as yours is to you.
There's a lady I've known forever. She's taken ill as of late.
On top of that, she's being abused by those to whom she has given everything... Lies about her abound, and seem to come from all sides. Just breaks my heart. Maybe, if we join together, we can help her heal.
She's well over 240 years old, but way too young to die. Her name is 'America'... And I love her and I have always been proud of her. ~ Author unknown

Doobie Brothers Unique Premiere via TelePresence
The Doobie Brothers are the sound of my childhood as my Dad would seemingly wear out record player needles, playing albums over and over again. Now, the classic American rock legends, the Doobie Brothers, are back – with a new recording entitled "World Gone Crazy," releasing on September 28. All of us at Cisco are really excited to partner with AT&T and Marriott to host the band's live performance – broadcast via Cisco TelePresence and Ustream – on Monday, September 27th at 3:30pm PST from the CiscoTV studios in San Jose, California. In fact, I didn't realize how many Doobie Brothers fans there were until we opened up a few seats in the studio audience to Cisco employees and were simply bombarded by, no kidding, thousands of requests. (Of note, my administrative partner is one of them…I need to get her in or else she'll book my next flight to Boston with a connection in Bangladesh.)
The good thing is that you don't have to be in our San Jose studio for the event. We invite you to join the live concert on Ustream – from anywhere in the world – to hear their classic and new songs. And many others, through various promotions, will be able to attend the concert via the AT&T TelePresence service and Marriott TelePresence locations. Together, working with our partners, we can help to transform how we all experience music and video, in a truly interactive online format.
Harnessing the Power to Bring People Together
You know, back in January, when Marriott announced their Go There Virtual Meetings facilities, I have to admit that I don't recall discussing with them the possibility of launching an album over it or helping a band effectively create a "world tour" event in a single evening…
But, perhaps that's a key take away from this trailblazing event, the applications of Cisco TelePresence services are literally limited only by our own imaginations. Whether it's AT&T which offers it to enterprises throughout their global network or Marriott which uses it to create a whole new class of offering for its business customers, all types of companies can explore and utilize this amazing virtual meeting technology in creative and productive new ways.
We'll be posting some photos and video clips from the live event here on SP360. In the meantime, if you're a Doobie Brothers fan, and simply just can't wait until next Monday, then I've got some very good news – you can hear a special full-album preview of World Gone Crazy, right now online. Enjoy! And I look forward to seeing you via the network on Monday night!

The "cable-free living room" exists in the same futuristic space that holds the "paperless office" and the "coherent tax code"—and we'll believe in all of them just as soon as we see them. But a new consortium called the Wireless Gigabit Alliance says that it can help make the cable-free household a reality within the next few years by providing a wireless gigabit spec with enough bandwidth to transmit HD video.
The plan is like WiFi on steroids, and, just as with steroids, wireless gigabit comes with some serious drawbacks. These (fortunately) do not affect the gonads or cause 'roid rage, but they do mean that you won't likely be using wireless gigabit to transmit through walls. This is an in-room tech only, and therefore not a full replacement for the various WiFi specifications.
The group calls its work-in-progress "WiGig," which is sort of catchy and has the added benefit of making more sense than "Wireless Fidelity" ever did. WiGig will operate at 60GHz, which tells you all you need to know about its limitations. The recently-auctioned 700MHz spectrum is superb for TV transmission because the waves pass so easily through walls. WiFi began at 2.4GHz and then migrated to 5GHz, still good enough to fill a house. But WiGig jumps way up the spectrum ladder, which limits it to "gigabit speeds within a typical room."
60GHz may have its limitations, but it also has one tremendous advantage over much of the spectrum above 5GHz: it's all wide open space. 60GHz is widely available for unlicensed use around the world, which means that chipmakers can pump out one set of radios that works in every country without the need for permission. Given that's WiGig is a short-range technology, interference from neighboring WiGig devices should be less of problem than it has been for WiFi, which can be problematic in apartments or urban areas.
The WiGig spec is backed by some heavy hitters, including key chipmakers Atheros and Broadcom, along with tech companies like Intel, Microsoft, Samsung, and Dell. The group wants to have a final spec in place by the fourth quarter of this year, after which we can all look forward to eliminating "the unsightly cables that clutter today's homes and offices."
Play it again, Sam
If this all sounds vaguely like the hype that fueled ultrawideband (UWB) tech and its years of failed promises, it should; it's quite similar. WiGig appears to be the spiritual successor to the various failed UWB initiatives. As we noted last year, 60GHz was one of the four or five approaches being pursued by tech companies as classic UWB crashed and burned.
UWB was also going to unwire our living rooms and was also going to move hi-def video. Numerous companies operating in the space imploded before shipping many units (and Intel got out of the UWB business), but core research and design work was completed that should allow 60GHz development to proceed quickly; WiGig backers are hardly starting with a clean slate here.
The name has changed, and the approach isn't quite the same, but the two technologies share a similar, quixotic goal: simple high-speed connections between every device in the living room.

Making a commitment to increase your activity level is a great start, but it's not always enough. Lots of things can stand in our way. We have work, family and community obligations.
"Well, you know, that's a lot of reasons a lot of people use -- that they don't have time. I owe myself one hour a day. I can give my body one hour a day, I'm happy."
Gym memberships cost money. So does home exercise equipment, and exercise clothing. Some people shy away from physical activity because they've had an injury, or they're afraid they might get hurt.
"My knees. I've had knee surgery on both knees when I was bigger. And they get to hurting once in awhile."
Your emotions may be an obstacle. It can be hard to start a program, or hit the treadmill after a hard days work.
"You know, some people might stop their exercise program because they think there is only one way to do it -- in the gym, running on the track -- and they hate that."
Once you've figured out what your obstacles are, you can work on ways to get around them.
"There's a lot of way to get physical activity nowadays without going into the gym. There are tracks at a lot of the local schools. There are public parks with great trails and bicycle trails everywhere."
"You know, I joined a health club, there just wasn't time to get there. I decided to try personal training. And I said, 'Well, this is someone who is going to work on my time schedule when it's best for me.'"
Support doesn't have to be a physical trainer. It could be a family member, friend, or co-worker.
"Yeah, I have a very good support family system. My sister and I make ourselves wake up early in the morning and we walk at least one hour or more, three times a week."
And when you run into setbacks, don't beat yourself up. Everyone gets off track sometimes.
"Everyday is not going to be a good day. It's okay to miss a day. It's okay to be tired. Maybe Friday's not going to work out this time, and it's okay to make it up on Saturday, maybe on Monday, and start fresh."
"Well, in the past it was really easy to have a setback and just say, 'Forget it. I'm not doing it.' But I think as you get older, mortality starts to really matter. And I realize that without my health, I have nothing."

No Surgery if Positive Lymph Nodes?
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
Why is a prostate cancer surgery stopped if the cancer is found in the lymph nodes? Why can't the lymph nodes be removed along with the prostate?
Alan J. Wein, MD, Professor and Chair of the Division of Urology at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, responds:
The finding of positive lymph nodes during prostate surgery means that the disease has already spread outside the prostate, and thus is locoregionally advanced (located in the body beyond the prostatic area). When disease is locoregionally advanced, there is also the potential for it to be micrometastatic (spread throughout the body, especially to the bones in the case of prostate cancer), and thus local treatment alone is not sufficient. In the presence of involved lymph nodes, almost all agree that bulk-reducing surgery (surgery to remove the "bulk" of the tumor, in this case prostatectomy) is not indicated. This is assuming that there are not other active medical issues which warrant prostate resection for palliation.
The only exception is in a young person with a single - or at most 2 -positive lymph nodes. Some feel that there is a small biological advantage in removing the prostate under these circumstances. This is different from, say, kidney cancer, in which bulk-reducing surgery in a patient with a good performance status is generally felt to be beneficial, regardless of nodes.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Tony Stewart won for the 17th time Thursday at Daytona International Speedway. And like he's done so many times before, he now faces the challenge of transforming that success into his first Daytona 500 victory.
Stewart led the final 18 laps in the first of two 150-mile Gatorade Duel qualifying races, finishing a half lap ahead of Danica Patrick's final-lap crash.
Matt Kenseth won the second qualifier, going from third to first on the final lap.
Unlike Saturday night's Bud Shootout exhibition race, there weren't a lot of big crashes. The biggest came on the ninth lap of the first Duel when Michael McDowell bumped David Gilliland to trigger a crash that also included Paul Menard, Juan Pablo Montoya, Brad Keselowski and Mike Wallace.
The second qualifying race ran caution-free for all 60 laps.
Stewart is accustomed to success at the 2.5-mile speedway, including three Duel wins and five runner-up finishes. But he's never won the biggest race — the Daytona 500.
"It's good momentum, but it's no guarantee obviously," Stewart said. "It's nice to come here, especially for Steve (Addington, crew chief) and I, being our first race together, to be able to come out and have two really good strong and solid races back-to-back is an awesome start for us.
"It's a long race on Sunday and a lot can happen. Even though we had success today, it's no guarantee that can happen Sunday."
As Stewart led a parade of cars through the third turn, Patrick was knocked off track by Aric Almirola on the backstretch. Her car slammed into the inside wall which allowed Stewart to win the race under caution.
Patrick wasn't hurt.
"I don't know if I could have done anything different," she said. "We were just looking to finish, to be honest. Unfortunately that was not the case."
Dale Earnhardt Jr. was second to Stewart, followed by Marcos Ambrose in third, Jeff Burton in fourth, Carl Edwards in fifth and McDowell in sixth.
McDowell and Robby Gordon, who finished ninth, wrapped up the qualifying spots open to drivers who weren't ranked among the top 35 last year.
In the second race, Greg Biffle started on the pole and he led a race-best 40 laps.
On the final lap, Regan Smith, Kenseth and Jimmie Johnson mounted a charge on the outside. When Biffle moved higher on the race track to block, Kenseth veered to the left and easily passed for the lead. Once he got out front, he beat Smith by two car lengths.
Kenseth's average speed of 194.175 mph was a track record for a qualifying race.
"We just had a big run there," Kenseth said. "Jimmie Johnson gave me a huge push there and that really worked nice for me the whole race there. Without that push, it never would have never gotten done. Greg lost his drafting partner (Smith). We were able to separate him and the 78 (Smith), and we had such a big run Greg was kind of a sitting duck."
Since the race only set the field for the 500, Biffle wasn't more aggressive protecting his lead coming to the white flag. On Sunday, however, things probably will be different.
"If that's the 500, I'm either going to get pushed or wrecked — one or the other," he said.
Although Kenseth and Biffle are Ford teammates at Roush Fenway Racing, Biffle was counting on a push from Smith; Kenseth counted on Johnson. Smith and Johnson drive Chevrolets.
Johnson settled for third, followed by Elliott Sadler in fourth, Biffle in fifth and Joey Logano in sixth.
Dave Blaney, who finished 12th, and Joe Nemechek, who was 17th, raced their way into the Daytona 500 starting lineup as the two highest-finishing drivers without a provisional exemption.
Carl Edwards won the pole for the Daytona 500 in time trials. Biffle will start second. Thursday's results set the rest of the lineup with Stewart starting third on Sunday and Kenseth fourth.
Drivers who failed to make the starting lineup included a pair of former Daytona 500 winners — Bill Elliott and Michael Waltrip. Also missing the race will be Kenny Wallace, Mike Wallace, J.J. Yeley and Robert Richardson.

FYI Monday: The Phraseology Project by Drew Melton
This post is part of the For Your Inspiration Monday series showcasing the most inspiring designs out there. Each week a new artist or design style will be presented in order to get your creative juices flowing for the upcoming week. I hope you enjoy the series.
Drew Melton is a letterer and designer (sometimes illustrator) based out of Grand Rapids, MI. His work has taken off since the start of "The Phraseology Project". The idea is simple, take user submitted words or phrases and design them with type. This project has led him to a number of opportunities with brands such as Toyota & Saatchi and Saatchi. Rather than focusing on the client work today I want to show you some of the typographic designs for the project. I hope you like them as much as I do.

Trina from A Few Miner Adjustments turned a piece of luan from her garage into an oversized flashcard for her living room wall. All it took was some paint and vinyl to create this décor that was ideal for a household of teachers. I love this idea for a playroom too and think a set of flashcards would be a great way to decorate a large wall on a dime.
Trina was inspired by the Flash Card Framed Art from Pottery Barn Kids

Put On For Your City

My whole perspective on the lockout, and the NBA in general, changed today when my friend asked, "Will anyone really care about Kobe's Denver Citibank Armadillos vs. Lebron's Akron MetLife Wildcats?" He was referencing Amar'e Stoudemire's recent suggestion of the players creating their own league with its own season. "No," I responded, "No one would." Up until this summer, I always thought the players were the only focus in the NBA. Now, I am realizing the heart of the league lies much deeper. It dawned on me that real fans, like myself, yearn for the league and the game, not …continue reading

Cheese and mushroom casserole with chicken
This casserole is simple and delicious, and makes a perfect snack during a picnic (bento anyone?)—you should use it as a basic idea for a casserole, since the pasta sauce is the stable and the most important piece of the meal. It's also a very tweak-able recipe! :-)
Chili-walnut scrambled eggs with rucola
I was busy today with shopping and home chores, and needed something to snack on and get some energy kick. I managed to buy some chili peppers earlier today, and decided to make a savory scrambled eggs with a delicious, energetic spicy twist! :-) And oh my, that was both tasty and exciting!
Marshmallows for hot drinks
While the standard marshmallows are cooked to be large and sturdy on their own, the ones for hot drinks should be creamy and melting easily. Try my recipe, although similar to the basic one, to enjoy beautiful and tasty hot drinks marshmallows! :-)
Oh my, that is one of my most favorite recipes — who doesn't love these spongy, almost weightless little cubes of sweetness?! With my super simple recipe you will (quite literally) whip up some of them in no time!
When you make your own pasta, you will always end up with some scraps, even more if you make ravioli. You can easily recycle this leftover pasta to make maltagliati, meaning "poorly cut" in Italian, which was traditionally meant as food for the poor. We are way past that, and today you can enjoy rich texture and amazing flavor of your pasta without the social stigma ;-)

Q & A with Women's Golf Coach Pat Kotten
By ODU Athletics
Sept. 15, 2005
Pat Kotten is in his 3rd season as head coach of the Women's golf team at Old Dominion University. Under his direction, the Lady Monarchs have shown marked improvement every season, and look to make even further strides in 2005.
1. After improving from a last place finish in your inaugural season, to 7th place last season, what are your expectations for the Lady Monarchs in what is now your third year into a new program? We have a new addition to the conference in Georgia State who is very strong. But I would hope for a top-5 finish, and if everyone stays healthy, that would be well within our reach. Staying healthy is the key, because last year we had one big injury and that's all it took.
2. Who are some of the key returning players fans of the women's golf program should keep an eye on this season? The key returning player to look for would be Meghan Schaefer who was our low scorer at the conference tournament last season as a freshman. She has made huge improvements in her game over the last few months. Amanda Moore was injured two tournaments into the year last season, and we didn't get a chance to see what she could do. From the first tournament to her second last season, we saw huge improvement and we hope to see some more of that this year. Reinie Vugrinec has also made huge improvements in her game and we look for big things from her this season.
3. Last year, your players participated in some of the strongest tournaments held in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic region. What kind of valuable experience did your players receive from playing in such difficult fields and on such challenging courses? First of all, they know how good they have to get. The value of a strong schedule is twofold. One, our players in a young program see the mountaintop, and see who the best players are and what they do. And they learn vicariously through them. The other benefit of having a strong schedule would be recruiting. Because we are known to play a strong schedule, we are starting to get noticed by better players who want to come into our program and play in challenging tournaments.
4. Can you talk about the two new additions (Alexis Garduno and Deztany Jackson) to the program? Alexis is from Sacramento, CA, and her big claim to fame so far was playing in the First Tee Open at Pebble Beach, which is a Senior PGA Tour event. She played with Dave Stockton, who is a one-time Ryder Cup captain, and performed very well. She has numerous wins on the West Coast under her belt, and is a tremendous ball striker. Deztany hails from Ft. Washington, MD and is extraordinarily athletic. She is a little on the raw side, but is a very strong player who hits the ball a long way and brings a lot of discipline to the table. It has been gratifying to see her at practice and how hard she works to improve her game. She shot a 68 this summer in a tournament, so she obviously has a ton of upside.
5. What positives has the new practice facility at Lambert's Point Golf Course brought to the program? First of all, we do not have a thirty-minute drive to a practice facility, and with gas prices as high as they are today, that is a huge positive. Also, once the putting green opens within the month, we will have two new 10,000 square foot facilities dedicated solely to working on putting, chipping, sand shots, and other aspects of the short game. The driving range here is absolutely tremendous, and now that we have the ability to videotape our work on the range, we can address mistakes immediately rather than having to wait a day or two when we used our old practice ranges again. The golf course itself, although it is 9 holes and is only a par-34, it is a very challenging course that puts a premium on striking an accurate tee shot. This is something that is really demanded of college players, particularly on the women's side because they have a minimum yardage they have to play. Most courses now are playing longer than 6,000 yards, so players really need to be accurate off the tee in order to set up less challenging approaches to the green, and our course really helps with that. In a recruiting aspect, prospective recruits will see that we practice in a first class facility and that ODU is committed to the women's golf program and our success. And of course, having our own locker room and meeting facilities on campus is a big positive because it gives our players an opportunity to spend more time at the course in their spare time.
6. Old Dominion is the second university in which you have started a women's golf program, UMBC being the first. What kind of an experience is it starting a brand new program from scratch? The key to starting a new program from scratch is patience. There are several ways to start a new program and I've seen them done in several different ways. One of the most prevalent ways is for a new program to spend all of their recruiting dollars right away and get strong really fast. The problem with that is that you do not have the patience to build your program from a foundation, and because you get all the recruits early into the program, that leaves no scholarships left to recruit other prospects for a few years. The way we do things is that we spread out our scholarship dollars so that we have a solid rotation set up. We have one graduating senior this year, and two next year. So we do not have all of our eggs in one recruiting class. The downside to that is that the program is short on numbers for a year or two, and a single injury could be devastating in the short term. The long term benefits of this approach are enormous however.
7. How did you get your start in the field of collegiate golf? I picked up golf when I was 15 after we moved from the Midwest where ice hockey was huge, to Maryland where there was no hockey to be played. We lived across the street from a golf course and our family bought a membership, so I played every day and broke into the business that way. College golf came about while I was working as a club professional at a golf course across the street from the UMBC campus. I wasn't happy as a club professional because of how much the business changed over the last 15 years. Club professionals used to own pro shops, and were able to make almost six figures. That generally is no longer the case. Because I still loved the game of golf and teaching it, I wanted to continue working in the field. There was an opportunity opening up at UMBC when they restarted their men's golf program. I jumped at the chance, and worked part-time for a few years and eventually became full-time after three years. Because of my positive experience there, and working with players who were talented and committed to improving their game, it really attracted me to coaching on a collegiate level. Many times club professionals are tutoring players who do not really want to be there, or who are being forced by their parents to get lessons, so the experience is not as gratifying. With a college player, for them to reach this level in golf, it is obvious that they are dedicated, committed, and have a love for the game.
8. What was it about Old Dominion that gave you the motivation to start yet another women's program? I had a lot of opportunities out there before I made a decision to come here. What really made me decide to start the women's golf program at ODU was their commitment to all of their programs. While this university may be a mid-major so to speak, their commitment to their sports are at a much higher level. While I am sitting in my office, I can look out my window and see a driving range facility and putting green for my players. The new golf course may be owned by the city of Norfolk, but this could not have happened without a commitment to the program from the university. I have locker rooms and meeting areas for my players. Since I have been here, it has been nothing but magic. My family loves the area, and the university has been so good to me. I can't wait to see what happens next.
9. What is it about the sport of golf that appeals to you? Anyone can play the game of golf for almost their entire lives. Whether you're 4, or 90, a golfer can go out and enjoy the day and the scenery. With most other sports, there is a window of opportunity for a person to enjoy that sport during their lifetime. This is not the case with golf. People young and old play the game on a daily basis, and that's what makes it so great. When I started working in golf, I remember very distinctly thinking, "how hard could this job be?" People were coming to me on their day off for the purpose of having fun. How is that a job you don't want? That was my motivation when I got into club golf. You get to have a good time at work, interact with the public, and be friendly. Golf is also a very deceivingly difficult game to play. It is a lot easier to hit a golf ball than a baseball, but there seems to be a whole lot less people to do it well. There are over 1,000 players in major league baseball today, and only 125 or so on the PGA Tour who receive exemptions to play another year. That is a testament to the amount of difficulty involved with playing golf. It's the challenge of it that makes golf such a popular sport.
The Lady Monarchs golf squad next travel to Myrtle Beach, SC to take part in the Unlimited Potential/Baytree tournament from September 23rd-25th.

Walter J. Moucha Sr., 90, of East Stroudsburg, passed away Monday, May 13, 2013, at Gino J. Merli Veterans Center in Scranton. He was the husband of Millicent (Bricka) Moucha, who died in March 2006.
Born Jan. 16, 1923, in the Bronx, N.Y., he was the son of the late Aldrich and Mabel (Miller) Moucha.
Walter and Millicent started their family in the Bronx, N.Y., and moved to East Northport (Long Island), N.Y. in the early 1950s, raising their sons into adulthood. Then Walter and Millicent retired to Menominee, Mich., and lived there for almost 25 years. He has spent the past five years here in Monroe County having moved from Fort Pierce, Fla.
Walter served in the 554th Army Air Force Base Unit during World War II. He is the recipient of the American Service Medal, Good Conduct Medal and World War II Victory Medal.
Walter was a gifted carpenter and cabinetmaker. These skills brought him to the Wheeler Shipyard in the Clason Point section of the Bronx, N.Y., just a short walk from their first apartment. There he contributed his skills in building some of the finest post-World War II luxury yachts for the rich and famous. He built for his own pleasure a 16-foot boat which made the newspapers when he traveled up the Hudson River to Albany, N.Y. Walter's next challenge was a 25-foot cabin cruiser, christened "Millicent." He continued his love of boat building when his young family moved to Long Island, N.Y. Shortly thereafter, Walter sought a more stable job and was employed, first as a carpenter and then as head of all maintenance, with the Union Free School District 4 in Northport, N.Y. Walter retired from this position in 1982.
He was a longtime model airplane enthusiast and a member of the Academy of Model Aeronautics. He also loved fishing and devoted many hours throughout his early life off of Long Island, N.Y., and the New Jersey shore and most recently in the waters of south Florida with Walt Jr.
Surviving Walter are two sons, Lawrence "Larry" Moucha Sr. and his wife, Nancy, of East Stroudsburg, and Walter J. Moucha Jr. and his wife, Rose, of Fort Pierce, Fla. He is also survived by 14 grandchildren: Lawrence "Kurt" Jr. and his wife, Lanette; Christine Eberhardt and her husband, Alan; Kate Bush and her husband, Denny; Kim Paolino and her husband, Randy; Kyle Moucha; Craig Moucha; Claire Moucha; Keith Moucha; Kevin Moucha; Cassandra Moucha; Laura Slaymaker and her husband, Justin; Robert Moucha and his wife, Valerie; Toni Olson and her husband, Don; and Samantha Moucha; and 10 great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his great-grandson, Jacob Cole Slaymaker.
The viewing will be held from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Thursday, May 16, at William H. Clark Funeral Home, 1003 Main St., Stroudsburg. The funeral service will be at 10 a.m. Friday, May 17, at the funeral home, with the Rev. David Cornell officiating. Cremation will be at H.G. Smith Crematory in Stroudsburg.
In lieu of flowers, memorial remembrances may be made to the Jacob Cole Slaymaker Memorial Fund, P.O. Box 880464, Port Saint Lucie, FL 34988. "Our mission is to bring added joy to S.M.A. children and their families."

Oh well, my teenage kids don't get it, but I've loved MM for several years now. Was worried about how I'd feel about the new album but I LOVE it. I could listen to MM all the time (and I kinda do). Saw them for the second time last year in San Francisco and it was so awesome.
Fave songs (just as I think of them):
Night on the Sun
Talking Shit About a Pretty Sunset
Shit in Your Cut
Little Motel
Pups to Dust
The Best Room
Trucker's Atlas
Third Planet
I'll have to check in here sometimes. Would be nice to talk to other people who share my obsession!

[JURIST] US District Judge Joan A. Lenard [official profile] Thursday ordered a mistrial in a terrorism case against six men charged with allegedly conspiring to bomb the Sears Tower in Chicago and the FBI headquarters in Miami, after the jury was unable to reach a verdict after nine days of deliberations. A seventh man, Lyglenson Lemorin, was acquitted on terrorism conspiracy charges. If the men had been convicted, they would have faced up to 70 years in prison.
The seven were indicted [JURIST report] last year on charges [indictment, PDF] of conspiring to provide material support to al Qaeda; conspiring to provide material support, training, and resources to terrorists; conspiring to maliciously damage and destroy by means of an explosive; and conspiring to levy war against the government of the United States. The indictment alleges that ringleader Narseal Batiste recruited the six other defendants to "organize and train for a mission to wage war against the United States government," and that they pledged an oath to al Qaeda in an attempt to secure financial and logistical backing. Lawyers for some of the men said that their clients were entrapped [JURIST report] by an FBI informant posing as an al Qaeda operative. Reuters has more.
