Gouge, a sophomore from Elizabethton, Tenn. (Elizabethton H.S.), held and built on to his one-stroke lead from day one by shooting a one-under par 69 on Tuesday afternoon. He separated himself from the rest of the field by knocking down birdies on holes 17 and 18 for a back-nine score of 33 to clinch the win, his first of his collegiate career.
After shooting a 68 in the first round during poor weather conditions, Gouge returned to the links and battled after shooting a one-over par 36 on the front nine. He came out on to the back-nine by shooting level over the first four holes before hitting a birdie attempt on 14, pared 15, and then bogeyed 16 leading to the final two decisive holes.
After all scorecards came in, Gouge held off some tough competition for a two-stroke victory with a tournament score of 137. Finishing behind King's tournament champion was Edward Thomas III (-1, 139) of Barton, Adam Hedges (E, 140) of Belmont Abbey, and Trevor Banks (Virginia Intermont) and teammate Richard Powell who each shot a one-over, 141.
Powell finished in a tie for fourth place overall with VI's Trevor Banks improving his score from day one to day two by three shots. After shooting back-to-back scores of 35 on the front nine, the difference came in the back nine where his three-shot improvement was seen.

Wade Robson has just blown the lid off of Michael Jackson's legacy.
The famed choreographer--who testified eight years ago in Jackson's defense during his 2005 trial on child-molestation charges--is changing his tune, alleging that he was, in fact, abused by the late pop icon and has filed a suit against the Jackson estate.
The 30-year-old dancer sat down with Matt Lauer on "Today" this morning, where he defended his allegations and lawsuit against his former mentor, claiming Jackson, who died in 2009, was a "pedophile" who sexually abused him from ages 7 to 14.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
NEWS: Exclusive details on Robson's suit
The "So You Think You Can Dance" regular said he never came forward with his claims because he "was scared psychologically and emotionally completely unable and unwilling to understand that it was sexual abuse."
"This is not a case of repressed memory," he insisted. "I never forgot one moment of what Michael did to me."
After Lauer pressed Robson for details concerning the specific nature of the abuse, Wade clarified: "He performed sexual acts on me and I performed sexual acts on him."
NEWS: 2005 sex-abuse case could be revisited in Jackson wrongful-death trial
Robson, who served as the defense team's star witness back in 2005, recalls Jackson's first criminal investigation in 1993 (he was 11 years old at the time). He claims the "Smooth Criminal" singer would call him "every day" and "role-play," convincing him that if anyone knew what they had done together, "both of us would go to jail."
The father of one, who said his son served as the catalyst to share his story, also insists there was never any monetary compensation for defending Jackson, telling Lauer, "It was complete manipulation and brainwashing. He would role-play and train me for these scenarios."
He said he finally had to face his troubling past after suffering from two nervous breakdowns, and when Lauer read statements from both Jermaine Jackson and the lawyer from Jackson's estate, Robson says their claims that he's lying could not be further from the truth.
NEWS: Paris Jackson spending time with mother Debbie Rowe
"The idea that I would make all of this up and put my wife, my son, my entire family through this extremely stressful and painful experience all for the sake of money? That's completely incomprehensible," he said. "I've lived in silence and denial for 22 years...In order to fully heal, I have to speak the truth and I have to speak the whole truth."
And even today, he admits he has mixed feelings about his alleged abuser and late mentor: "There is no excuse for what he did to me, but he was a troubled man...The image that one presents to the world is not the whole explanation of who someone is. Michael Jackson was yes, an incredibly talented artist with an incredible gift. He was many things. And he was also a pedophile and a child sexual abuser."

Kevin Foster scored 22 points and hit five 3-pointers, leading Santa Clara to a 70-60 victory over Pepperdine on Saturday night.
Foster was 5 for 11 beyond the arc, nearly equaling the six 3s and 29 points he put up against Pepperdine in an 83-76 victory about a month ago.
Brandon Clark added 15 points for the Broncos (19-8, 7-5 West Coast), and Evan Roquemore had 10 points and five assists.
Jordan Baker led Pepperdine (12-14, 4-9) with 18 points. Stacy Davis added 12 and Jett Raines had 10.
Santa Clara never trailed, scoring the first seven points of the game and leading by as many as 17 in the first half. Pepperdine closed the gap to 39-30 by halftime and pulled within six points midway through the second half. But a dunk by Marc Trasolini highlighted 7-0 run by Santa Clara that made it 55-42 and the Broncos led by double digits the rest of the way.

Practicing what they preach, The Daniel Plan caught up with a few pastors asking them to share their progress with The Daniel Plan and tips to help others. It's not only Pastor Rick making changes! As you read this, note how The Daniel Plan can be adopted to each individual. It's not a strict diet, but a personalized lifestyle.
I started The Daniel Plan the day Saddleback launched it back in January. After years of going from diet to diet I finally realized I didn't need a diet - I needed a life-style change!
I started applying the 8 Principles of Celebrate Recovery and received support and accountability from my recovery group. My wife joined me on this journey and it is working for both of us. I have lost over 50 pounds! Praise God! Men, if I can do it - you can do it!
I've lost between 40-50 pounds. My weight moves around daily, but I'm focused on fat loss, not the scale. I didn't do this at the beginning. I'm more focused on body recomposition and health, not just weight loss.
Here are my tips:
This January, I put in the worship area of my health plan to get down to 220. It is in worship as the body is a temple. I weighed in at 251. So I started the Daniel Plan…loosely. I started out by eating right, cutting out as much sugar as I can and no caffeine.
Knowing I couldn't do this alone, my men's group (all nine of them) committed to a Biblical Daniel fast as laid out in the book of Daniel. We saw good results. Some stopped, but I kept plugging away. Eating right. Now, I must confess, exercise hasn't even come into the equation.
Today as the writing of this I weigh 222, but better than that—I feel great. My motivation is to serve the Lord as long and best I can, and stick around to see grandkids! Okay, my wife also wants me around too, the force behind me!

The tragedy in Newtown, Conn., last week is incomprehensible. The terror young victims must have experienced is impossible to understand. The heroism of the teachers � some of whom gave their lives to save students � is beyond measure.
The tragedy in Newtown, Conn., last week is incomprehensible. The terror young victims must have experienced is impossible to understand. The heroism of the teachers � some of whom gave their lives to save students � is beyond measure.
Most will remember where they were when they heard the tragic news. Even though it is hundreds of miles away, it felt like it was happening to our neighbors down the road. Ironically, I heard the news while I was patrolling the grounds of my son�s elementary school in Benton. I cannot imagine anywhere I would have rather been that day other than volunteering as part of the WatchDOGS � Dads of Great Students � program.
For those unfamiliar, the program began after a school shooting in 1998 in Jonesboro at Westside Middle School. The program is an initiative of the National Center for Fathering organization that seeks to get fathers and father figures involved in schools to provide positive male role models for students and to enhance school security.
The program has spread across the country with more than 2,000 active programs in 41 states, including many across Arkansas. Dads, stepdads, granddads, uncles and other father figures participate by volunteering at least one day a year at their student�s schools.
I am fortunate there is a strong program in my son�s school, where my wife also works as a teacher, and I get to participate once a semester. The day involves patrolling the school grounds to ensure proper doors are locked and nothing unusual is going on inside or around the school building. I also spend a good part of the day with students, working one-on-one with some of them, speaking to classes about my job or reading a book and eating lunch or playing on the playground with the students.
�The WatchDOGS program was inspired by a school shooting in Jonesboro, Ark., in 1998, but it does not pretend to be a deterrent to an act so monstrous that it defies comprehension,� Eric Snow, executive director of the program, said after the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School. �The WatchDOGS program stands as a testimony to the millions of moms and dads and educators that form partnerships within their communities, and across this great country of ours, in order to provide the very best educational environment possible for all of our nation�s children.�
Scott Smith, coordinator of a program at one of Bryant�s elementary schools, sent an email last Friday to remind dads about the program. He received nearly a hundred responses within a couple of days.
�My hope, though, is that we do not act like a New Year�s resolution and just be hot on it for a few weeks, but that we all become very intentional with our volunteering of our time because WatchDOGS is a wonderful program,� said Smith. �I challenge my guys by saying just give us one day, because if you do, I can guarantee that you will give us a second and a third day.�
Dads and other father figures should find out if a WatchDOGS program is available at their student�s elementary school and, if so, volunteer. If not, they should find out how to start one.
The program is not an end-all solution to violence in schools, but it�s a good place to start and something tangible parents can do.

Kan. congressman: NSA surveillance program saves lives
Rep. Mike Pompeo tries to ease fears over privacy
Kansas congressman Mike Pompeo is trying to quell fears back home about government electronic surveillance.
Pompeo is the newest Republican member of the U.S. House Intelligence Committee, which held a rare, open hearing Tuesday amid debate over national security and personal privacy.
In a phone interview Wednesday, Pompeo said conservatives have a long tradition of understanding the federal government's primary mission to be ensuring the nation's ability to defend itself. He wants to make sure the country does not lose the capability to do that.
He says the programs exposed by a contractor for National Security Agency have adequate oversight.
Pompeo says the Intelligence Committee is working to declassify as much as possible to show the programs are saving lives.

Anyone who shorted bond ETFs is feeling pretty smart right about now. After last week's awkward fed comments, and the taper tantrum that followed, they're also seeing Fed chairman Ben Bernanke as their best friend.
Investment research firm TrimTabs reported Wednesday that U.S.-listed bond mutual funds and exchange-traded funds have lost an all-time record $61.7 billion in June through Monday.
This outflow far exceeds the previous record monthly outflow of $41.8 billion at the height of the financial crisis in October 2008.
"The unprecedented liquidation of bonds this month is a dramatic departure from recent trends," David Santschi, chief executive officer of TrimTabs, said in a statement. "Before June, bond funds had posted inflows for 21 consecutive months."
TrimTabs attributed the selling to a combination of steadily rising yields and hints from global central bankers that monetary stimulus may be scaled back in the future.
"Until this month, investors were piling into all sorts of exotic credit instruments with little regard for value, confident that endless central bank liquidity would inflate prices," Santschi added. "The massive selling at the mere suggestion that this liquidity might diminish shows the degree to which central bank intervention is driving the markets."
In a research note, TrimTabs explained that bond yields are likely to stabilize or even decline over the near term. Fund investors tend to be wrong, particularly when their behavior becomes extreme.
"The ferocity of the recent selling does raise longer-term concerns," Santschi concluded. "How many of the investors who pumped a record $1.21 trillion into bond funds from 2009 through 2012 have experienced a rising interest rate environment? And how will they react when they get their quarterly statements in a couple of weeks and see that their 'safe' bond funds are delivering losses?"
For direct insights on the role of ETFs in client portfolios from multiple experts—including Rick Ferri, Ron Delegge, Skip Schweiss and more—we invite you to register for AdvisorOne's premiere advisorcentric Virtual ETF Summit, which starts July 23 (and get multiple hours of CFP Board CE).

Marilyn Miglin
Marilyn Miglin is a Chicago-based Institute that offers spa treatments. It also offers a wide range of fragrances, cosmetics and skincare products through an official website. However, the skincare products seem to be getting surprisingly low scores on websites that conduct surveys and polls for consumers desiring younger-looking skin. It seems that although Marilyn Miglin skincare products may be able to provide some moisturizing benefits, they may not be able to dramatically reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Therefore, consumers may be right in pointing out that it clearly lacks scientifically advanced ingredients proven to boost Collagen production.

For example, the beauty industry now offers corrective plastic surgeries and other cosmetic products like Botox® for those desirous of a younger-looking skin.

It was founded by the noted public figure and celebrity Marilyn Miglin, and it also offers salon and spa services at its Chicago Institute. However, Marilyn Miglin products and services may not be the most cost-effective ones available. Therefore, we will take a closer look at what Marilyn Miglin has to offer to determine whether or not it may have a worthwhile anti-aging regimen.
|Products at a Glance
The official website for Marilyn Miglin categorizes the companys prolific set of products under the following: Fragrance, Skincare, Cosmetics, Candles and Gift Sets. The Skincare products are further categorized as follows: Cleansers, Make Up Removers, Toners, Masks, Eye Creams, Night Treatments, Moisturizers, C Perfection and Body Care. The Night Treatments segment is comprised of three products: Ester-C Serum, Perfect Balance Hylagen Night Treatment and Intensive Antioxidant Serum.
|Products in Focus
Ester-C Serum is said to be non-acidic and free of chemical derivatives. It is claimed to be a patented skincare breakthrough offering the most stabilized form of topical Vitamin C available. The Serum is supposed to increase smoothness, resiliency and tone of the skin by helping to produce Collagen. However, the complete list of key ingredients for the formula is not disclosed at this time.
When it comes to anti-wrinkle formulas, we prefer a product supplying Real Collagen that also includes ingredients like Matrixyl 3000®, which is proven to boost its natural production by the body. However, such ingredients seem to be missing from Marilyn Miglin Anti-Aging line at this time. We just hope that Marilyn Miglin will design a formula with scientifically advanced ingredients that are backed by years of research in the near future.
The focus of Marilyn Miglin seems to be on cosmetics and fragrances; however, we like it better when a manufacturer focuses specifically on developing an advanced product rather than in expanding their portfolio to appeal to a larger consumer group. In any event, the fact that many products lack testimonials, as well as before and after pictures, may be enough to be skeptical of the results that may be associated with Marilyn Miglin products.
Product line contains moisturizers and a few specialized creams
Online buying available through official website
Fragrances are offered with these cosmetic products for those who are interested
Skincare products do not contain proven ingredients like Matrixyl 3000®
No exclusive product websites as of this review
Before and after pictures unavailable at this time
Free trial offers not posted online at this time
Numerous skincare formulas are being promoted
|Final Thoughts
It seems, without a doubt, then, that Marilyn Miglin may hardly be worth looking into if one is looking for ways to reduce the formation of wrinkles. We believe that the best manufacturer promotes only a limited line of products, which gives their products credibility and highlights their customer service commitments. Marilyn Miglin, on the other hand, seems to be more about cosmetics and fragrances than effective skincare.
An anti-wrinkle formula from a manufacturer with a specific interest on creating the best products may be a better alternative to what Marilyn Miglin offers. To reiterate our earlier point, formulas containing Real Collagen and scientifically advanced ingredients like Matrixyl 3000® may be worth looking into. The best way to evaluate such a product would probably be to sign up for a free trial pack, whenever available.

When it comes to the importance of Sunday's game at Pittsburgh, Bengals coach Marvin Lewis is pragmatic; "It's a really big game for us and for our young players it's a chance for them to have an opportunity to keep playing; that's what we're here for," Lewis said.

The Panthers welcome former RB Mike Goodson to town on Sunday, fresh from an 89-yard rushing day, his best performance with Oakland.
Cardinals defensive coordinator Ray Horton raved about CB Patrick Peterson; "He could really be the Bo Jackson, the two-way player. He is a phenomenal athlete that isn't missing anything. He has the smarts, the will, the desire, the heart, the drive, any adjective you want to throw in there he has."
Seahawks WR Sidney Rice is questionable for Sunday, but coach Pete Carroll thinks he'll play; "We're still going to make sure he can run on game day," Carroll said. "He feels pretty good right now. But we've got to get to game day and run him and see how he can tolerate it. He thinks he's playing. He feels like he's going to."
The Rams fired Mike Martz seven years ago, but this year they can't get away from him.

One of our regular The Poop readers wrote to me yesterday, explaining that she is about to start trying to have a family, and wants to know all the things she should do before she tries to get pregnant. We'll call her Snugglette.
This is something that I'm guessing a lot of parents-to-be think about. But since asking friends can lead to rampant speculation ("Did she have a glass of wine? I guess they're not pregnant yet!" was one comment Snugglette overheard), it's a hard topic to bring up in casual conversation with people who will be staring at your belly bump (or lack thereof) for the next several months. Enter the Poop readership.
"So in the interests of your childless but planning readers, how about
opening this up for discussion?" Snugglette writes. "What better group of people would
there be to ask? One thing I know I want to do is ride some serious
roller coasters because I won't be able to while pregnant, and I'm
thinking taking infants to giant amusement parks won't be very fun."
What do you wish you had done before you got pregnant? Since I'm a dude, and may lack some necessary perspective, I asked my wife for help. Our suggestions are below. Yours in the comments …
Wife: She should get really drunk. (Husband gets to be the designated driver.)
Me: She should buy Rock Band and play with her husband as much as possible. My wife and I played once for an hour, had a really good time and promised to do it again soon. That was more than a year ago.
Wife: She should consider taking pictures of herself naked. Because she may never look like this again.
Me: She should consider taking pictures of herself naked. Because that's just always a really good idea.
Wife: This is boring, but if she has athletic goals (like completing a marathon), now might be a good time. It's pretty much impossible to complete a triathlon with a Baby Bjorn.
Me: This is even more boring. She should get any home improvement projects done ahead of time. Other than the occasional new switch plate, the house will stay exactly like it is right now for the next 18 years.
That sounded sort of discouraging, but wasn't meant to be. Having kids was still the best idea we ever had.

WELCOME TO the second of the new live blogs on the new-look Angler's Mail website. Tuesday will see a new blog by Steve Collett, focussing mainly on match fishing but also delving into his styles of pleasure fishing and specialist angling.
Steve, who often appear in Angler's Mail magazine, has a top match angling pedigree with some big match wins including being a former Division One National champion. He is a total all-round angler too, so is sure to reveal some top fishing tips every week. Here he looks at how to catch barbel on the River Trent, based of his barbel tactics for the River Severn.
We hope you enjoy the blog, and share it with your friends on Facebook and Twitter by clicking the icons above, or by the "old skool" method of telling fellow anglers! Feel free also to comment by using the special space at the bottom on this page.
STEVE COLLETT'S BLOG 1 (published Tuesday, July 31)
I SUPPOSE like all of you, this weather has been getting me down of late. It's not because it's very bad for the fishing, except the rivers, but your kit getting soaked through, and all of your stuff filthy… I think you can all relate to that.
So when the forecaster said there would be a few steady days of high pressure, I thought it would be a nice time to get out and do some pleasure fishing. And when I say pleasure fishing I mean just that, no pressure, not after any records, just throw a rod out, sit back and enjoy the surroundings. On this particular occasion I chose the River Trent as "my office" for the afternoon.
I don't know about you, but not being a local lad, the vision I expect of the River Trent is that it is always full of bivvies, tents, cans of lager. That image really couldn't be further from the truth. The section I have come to fish is reed lined for some, lily pads, gorgeous scenery, and a very nice place to be on a sunny afternoon.
After spending most of my life on the River Severn, moving to the Trent area has renewed my excitement, and I cannot wait to spend a few more years here exploring its 185 miles, and hopefully getting up close and personal with its inhabitants.
TRENT BARBEL vs SEVERN BARBEL
So given that this is my first real chance of fishing the river since moving to the area, the drive to my peg gave me chance to think the fishing through. Are Trent barbel the same as Severn barbel, will they fall to the same tactics?
Well, being as this was a "pleasure" session, I decided to experiment, not take any notice of the locals and go about fishing my peg as I would any on the Severn.
The conditions were probably not the best for fishing for barbel, but with a steady 1020mb and a very pleasant 25 degrees I wasn't going to complain after everything we have had thrown at us lately. So this could scupper my plans to find out if the barbel are the same up "t north"!
A quick look at my gear…
Well the gear was all set up, and now the important bit, how to fish the swim?
A cast around with a bomb gave me the impression that there was a lot of lillies and streamers going out from the bank on both sides for about 6 metres and the flow seemed to pick up around two rod lengths from the far bank with a snag smack bang in the middle.
I decided to go downstream of the snag in the main flow, and throw 5 or 6 times with a large Black Cap to get a few pellets in the swim. And then the regularity of my casting and feeding would be dictated by the amount of boat traffic as it was a nice day, and they were out enjoying the river as was I.
With my initial feed going in I recast about seven more times due to boat traffic before getting my first indication, and ten minutes later a very nice bream of around 5 lb took a liking to my Severn tactics, so they seemed to work, just not for barbel!
So without boring you too much about how I sat there and looked up at my rod tips…
Two hours into my session, I was met with that fantastic sight, a 1 foot "twitch" on the tip. I was soon into what felt like a carp, as the fight was slow and low, no ripping of left and right, no fast runs, just a slow bottom hugging fight, so the excitement kicked in and I thought I could be into a decent fish. And when it appeared in front of the lilies and caught a sight of me, it decided to have a run.
Within a few more minutes a very very nice looking 10 lb 2 oz barbel (below) graced the mat, proving that a barbel is a barbel – wherever it lives, it eats pellets! That's good news for me!
Driving back I put my thinking cap on again, as we do as anglers. I thought about why these fish eat pellets, as the main tactic on this part of the river is a groundbait feeder? And why and how can they find a 4mm or 6mm hook bait that's black?
And to be honest with you, I don't want to know the right answer! It keeps me going, it keeps me interested! I keep changing tactics and trying to catch more, bigger, better, and most of all it gives me the enthusiasm to get up at unholy hours and get out there fishing!
I hope you have enjoyed the read, and keep an eye out for my "On Tour" feature in the mag. For that special print feature I take on the Trent and try and catch another barbel in a few hours after work for the Angler's Mail cameras… and show you where and what clubs to join to catch them.
Here's the list of all the new blogs and when they go live:
MONDAY: Carp crews on rotation – Korda, Fox, Nash and ACE.
TUESDAY: Steve Collett, Mail contributor and ultimate all-rounder.
WEDNESDAY: Angler's Mail HQ – yes, us!

QUESTION OF THE WEEK- What should be built on the Water Street lots?
David Ferreira: "Maybe some visitors' centers, covering the different historical aspects, to keep people in town instead of having to truck all around."
Nicole Barrick: "I'd like to see more outdoor market space like the weekend City Market at least multiple times a week, and maybe public space for art and performance projects."
Samantha Kirch: "A public swimming pool, because when it's hot out at school [UVA], I would love to go swimming at an outdoor pool where I would be welcome."

Since this hippy citizen (former Director, CPC and current aggreived Stockholder, CPC) has granted Wachovia access to our treasure trove, that prestigious company is best suited to answer the question.
Jim (Baby Bubba) Berry is no longer a player. His word is to be quashed upon arousal, which should be soon.
Cujo - heel!!! We're going to enjoy these tables, which have turned.

Trick Tips: Pokes
The poke is the ultimate measure of style on a wakeskate. Ryan Lemons spells out the art of poking your bone, so you too can look cool when you jump the wake (without having to spin or flip your board.)
First off, you want to have a solid cut into the wake, the more speed
you get the bigger you're going to go.
Edge hard and pop off the wake by slamming your backfoot down and jumping up.
You want the board to be as vertical as possible while you're rising up.
now start leaning back and push forward with your front foot and start picking up on your back foot.
ideally, you want only the side of your back shoe touching the grip, with your front foot barely on the board.
Now for the landing, you want to start pulling the board back and leaning more forward.
Pull it all back and stomp the landing.
Its a fun trick that you learn over time, just start out small and go from there!

- abstract
This paper experimentally investigates the effect of limits on campaign spending and outcome in an electoral contest where two candidates, an incumbent and a challenger, compete for office in terms of the amount of campaign expenditure. The candidates are asymmetric only in that the incumbent wins the contest in case of a tie. Theory predicts that in the presence of such asymmetry spending limits put the challenger at a disadvantage and tightening the limits leads to further entrenchment of the incumbent. The experimental results confirmed the theoretical predictions regarding the effect of limits on campaign spending and outcome but yielded partial support to other predictions.

The almond groves in CA being a perfect example. There just isn't enough forage the rest of the year to support a population of native pollinators that could handle that many acres blooming at the same time.

For years, the U.S. Postal Service has been in denial about the sharp ongoing decline in the use of first-class mail. The postal status quo has been demolished by the rise of email and online bill-paying, but the USPS resisted acknowledging this – even as the deficit-ridden agency was forced to default on legal requirements that it spend $11 billion in 2012 to prefund retirement benefits.
This week, reality appears to have finally sunk in. Postal officials announced they would end Saturday deliveries, except for packages, beginning in August, saving about $2 billion a year. This won praise from Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Vista, who has led the push for postal reform. But, as Issa noted, it is only a good first step, and one that doesn't come close to making the USPS break even.
We think Congress needs to revise onerous laws that effectively require public subsidies of certain categories of mail, including first-class stamps. Issa and other lawmakers have some intriguing ideas as well. Now that the USPS is finally ready for profound change, let's have the full reform debate we've needed for years.

|MAPK signaling pathway - yeast - Saccharomyces cerevisiae (budding yeast)
|The S. cerevisiae genome encodes multiple MAP kinase orthologs. One (Fus3) mediates cellular response to peptide pheromones. Another (Kss1) permits adjustment to nutrient limiting conditions. A third (Hog1) is necessary for survival under hyperosmotic conditions. A fourth (Slt2/Mpk1) is required for repair of injuries to the cell wall. As in mammalian cells, these pathways consist of a conserved module in which three kinases phosphorylate each other in sequence. The MAPK is phosphorylated by the MAPK/ERK kinase (MAPKK/MEK), which is itself phosphorylated by a MEK kinase (MAPKKK/MEKK).

Ilya Zhitomirskiy, the 22-year-old co-founder of privacy-focused social network Diaspora, has died in San Francisco.
The Soviet-born entrepreneur's cause of death has not yet been confirmed by authorities, although they said suicide is suspected.
Diaspora's website has been redesigned in the wake of Zhitomirskiy's death to honor him.
PASSINGS: 2011's notable tech industry deaths
Zhitomirskiy and three New York University classmates released source code for Diaspora in September of 2010 and launched the service about a year ago as an open source-based social network designed to offer more user controls and privacy than Facebook.
The project, which raised $200,000 out of the gate through microfunding site Kickstarter, has had trouble raising additional money of late and cited problems with PayPal allowing donations to go through. Although Diaspora has been designed as an alternative to commercial social network sites like Facebook and LinkedIn, Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg has been complimentary of the project and donated to it, calling it a "cool idea" during a Wired.com interview.
Here's how Diaspora's team described their effort in their original Kickstarter pitch:
We believe that privacy and connectedness do not have to be mutually exclusive. With Diaspora, we are reclaiming our data, securing our social connections, and making it easy to share on your own terms. We think we can replace today's centralized social web with a more secure and convenient decentralized network. Diaspora will be easy to use, and it will be centered on you instead of a faceless hub.
The Google+ technique for grouping friends into private "Circles" is similar to Diaspora's method of allowing users to group other users into closed "Aspects" for private sharing.
Here's how Zhitomirskiy and friends explained Diaspora in a video:

Police investigate deaths of elderly couple found in home in northern Maine
CHAPMAN, Maine (AP) � Maine State Police are investigating the deaths of an elderly couple found in a northern Maine home.
Police say 81-year-old Marcus Sykora and his 77-year-old wife, Sheila Sykora, recently moved from Missouri to the town of Chapman near Presque Isle to stay with their daughter.
When officials responded to a 911 call at 11:20 a.m. Thursday, they found Marcus Sykora dead in the basement and his wife seriously injured. She later died at a Presque Isle hospital.
Police spokesman Steve McCausland said detectives don't suspect anyone outside of the home is involved in the deaths. He said more information would be released Friday after the medical examiner's office examines the bodies.
He wouldn't say who made the 911 call or who was at the home at the time police arrived.

A Wonderful Evening!
11.3.11 | Posted by Unknown | Edit Post
Tonight at church we had a Ladies Event called "Threads".
It was amazing!!!
Many ladies have been working/ planning this event for the last 8 weeks.
This week a bunch of ladies and some men have been working on making the decorations.
Yesterday and today was spent getting every thing put together and setting the stage.
This is one of my contributaions to the decorating.
I made a very fluffy tutu I put it on the Dress Form I made of Aiyanna. I tucked a flower and a feather into the waistband of the tutu. For the jewelry I draped a length of beaded trim around the neck.
It made such a pretty and girlie decoration.
I can't wait to show you some pictures from our Threads event next week!
Hope you have a wonderful weekend!!!!!!!

We are supposed to write about our weight history, challenges, goal, etc., so here goes - or at least here's what I'm willing to share: ;)
My goal for this challenge will be 20 pounds. This should be doable as it averages out to only five pounds a month, which is below the recommended two pounds a week.
My biggest challenge and what has gotten me to where I am today would have to be fast food. Yes, I know it's terrible for me and honestly I can trace it back to exactly when it all started many years ago. Very briefly, shortly after Lynne' was born she was hospitalized. She got out of the hospital and went to my mom and dad's to stay and that same week Keith was hospitalized for what would be a several month stay. Right then, trying to maintain a full-time job and be with him as much as I could, was when the fast food train started rolling. I had literally no time at all to do anything for myself, so I would grab food on the way from one thing to the next. And I haven't gotten off that train since. I'm fairly certain that's when the emotional eating began as well.
So, I'm going to lose the fast food urge! :)
I'm also going to continue the walking. And now is a good time to brag on myself for the walking! I joined the walking challenge at the Runagogo site (walk 100 miles between May 1 and July 31) and I have walked 45 miles so far! I am so impressed with myself, especially when I look back three years ago when I could barely walk without the use of a cane. WooHoo!
Well I really didn't realize I'd be this revealing, but that's ok. I won't turn this blog into a total weight loss blog, but I will report in every Tuesday for our weigh in. :)
Edited to add: When I just checked my blog to see if this posted I had to laugh when I saw the post underneath this one is about my fabulous lemon cake!!! LOL!

Public Comment Period:
Previously, CMS invited the public's input concerning any items and services that may be inappropriately used (i.e., underused, overused, or misused) or provide minimal benefit in hospitals, clinics, emergency departments, doctors' offices, or in other healthcare settings.[1] CMS also expressed interest in public input on items or services that might improve health outcomes and are not currently covered. CMS asked the public to be specific about items and services including surgical procedures, diagnostic tests or procedures, imaging or radiology services, lab tests, or durable medical equipment (such as glucose monitors or wheelchairs); treatments for diseases such as cancer, heart disease, kidney disease or gastrointestinal disease; or procedures such as orthopedic or eye procedures.
We reviewed and evaluated all of the submissions and believe that many of the suggested topics may be suitable candidates for further review. Some of these topics may have the potential to be subjects for further evaluation using literature reviews, claims based analyses, or as subjects for analysis in a National Coverage Determination (NCD). In considering topics for inclusion on our list we assessed our current policies and the availability or absence of evidence based guidelines and other pertinent medical literature. We also weighed their relevance to the scope of the Medicare benefits under Part A and Part B and the NCD authority and the potential impact on the Medicare program and on Medicare beneficiaries. In addition to the publicly submitted topics, we also added three topics of interest to CMS (intraaortic balloon pumps and percutaneous ventricular assist devices, lap-band surgery for obesity and kyphoplasty).
The items and services added by CMS are based on our internal consideration of the medical literature, Medicare claims experience of the MACs, horizon scans of medical literature, and interactions with the stakeholder community at various scientific meetings. Below is the complete list of potential NCD topics. We look forward to continued public dialogue and input regarding CMS coverage policy.

Greens on the Go
I've been traveling a bunch recently, and I really miss the consistent huge servings of greens I eat at home when I'm on the road. Recently, however, I've started turning to green powders to fill in my nutritional gaps. After trying a wide array, I've finally narrowed in on a favorite.
The Raw Reserve by AmazingGrass is chock full o' greens like wheatgrass, spirulina, and kelp, and it's all raw, which means the enzymes are intact for easy digestion. Bonus: It contains like a bazillion probiotics which are also great while traveling AND it comes in single serving packets for on-the-go ease. I used to add it to plain water, which is palatable (quite a feat for a green powder) but now I've discovered that it is absolutely delicious when added to coconut water. Refreshing and sweet, and sure to keep you feeling your best – at home, or away.

We've gotten swap-happy with yet another classic dessert! We kept the pineapple and those pretty cherries but went to work on the cake base and topping... Check it out! Ingredients: Topping 1 tbsp. light whipped butter or light buttery spread (like Brummel & Brown)1/4 cup brown sugar (not packed) 7 pineapple rings packed in juice, drained 7 maraschino cherries Cake Half of an 18.25-oz. box (about 1 1/2 cups) moist-style yellow cake mix 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder 1/2 cup club soda1/4 cup no-sugar-added applesauce Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a round cake pan with nonstick spray and set aside. Place butter in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave for about 15 seconds, just until melted. Add brown sugar and mix well. Spread mixture evenly along the bottom of the cake pan. Set aside. Blot pineapple rings and cherries with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. Lay pineapple rings in an even layer in the cake pan, and place one cherry in the center of each pineapple ring. Set aside. To make the batter, combine cake mix with baking powder in a large bowl. Mix well. Add club soda and applesauce, and stir until smooth. Evenly pour batter into the cake pan over the fruit layer. Bake in the oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 - 35 minutes. Allow cake to cool completely. Firmly and securely place a plate over the pan, and carefully flip so the plate is on the bottom. Gently lift pan to release the cake. Cut into 8 slices and dig in! MAKES 8 SERVINGS

Fruity desserts, you've fooled us before. But don't think this is our first trip to the cake rodeo, Pineapple Upside-Down Cake. We can see right through your empty promises. The rings of pineapple on top studded with bright red cherries lure us in. You say, "I've got fruit on top, not frosting! I'm not that bad!" But with all that fruit comes a buttery, sugary, caramelized layer on top of a dense and too-sweet slab of cake. Now, we DO love the taste of cake, fruit, and buttery, sugary, caramelized layers... We just want to avoid consuming the way-too-many fat grams and calories that come along with them. And the safest way to do it is to make that cake ourselves. Our version is moist, beautiful, and delicious. It's even pretty and tasty enough to be taken to a neighborhood potluck. Tell everyone that it's low in calories and fat, and you'll be the talk of the block... Or just keep it a secret. Your call.

Book Flights to Baghdad
Fly to Baghdad with Qatar Airways and explore a city with a deep heritage and welcoming culture. When you travel to Baghdad, you will find that the Iraqi capital has reverently maintained its ancient roots, balancing modern architecture with beautiful legacy brickwork. Through an ambitious palm-tree-planting programme, the city has also regained its oasis-like atmosphere, with lush greenery serving as an eye-catching backdrop to elegant cream-coloured buildings.
Check the price of flights to Baghdad further below and book Economy or Premium Class flights to Baghdad with Qatar Airways.
Art and cultural centres; haggling with street traders; and a visit to the inspiring ruins of the Sumerian city-state of Ur are all in store for you in Baghdad.
Tourist attractions
If you want to get an idea of how Baghdad looked in its early years, then pay a visit to Abbasid Palace, an undulating masterpiece of rolling arches and intricate muqarnas. It offers superb views over the Tigris River, once you've finished investigating the two storeys of its opulent interior.
Baghdad is also home to one of the world's most impressive archaeological sites. The Ancient City of Ur is composed of old houses and crumbling ziggurats, ravaged by time and desert winds. Millennia of wear and tear amplify Ur's eerie surroundings, much of which dates back as far as 4000 BC.
Art aficionados are in for a treat when they travel to Baghdad, and the National Museum of Modern Art in Kifah Street is a great place to start. The building itself is imposing, while within lie beautifully restored galleries and state-of-the-art climate control. You will find stunning examples of art in all its forms, from paintings and sculptures, to ornate friezes and ceramics.
Leisure activities
While cultural pursuits will take the lion's share of your time in Baghdad, there are other activities to consider. Haggling is something of a national pastime and the ideal place to flex your bargaining muscles is in the Baghdad Bazaar. This is where deals are done, tea is drunk and life is lived. The tunnels and streets of the bazaar are packed with traders, buyers and children looking for sweet treats. It's a feast for the senses, with the aromas of spices, teas, fresh bread and perfumes pervading the air, and music and chatter everywhere you go.
The key to haggling is to make it good-natured and never start something you're not prepared to finish. Once you've begun the process, the unspoken rule is that, at some point, you will buy.
If you want to spend a lazy day in the company of exotic creatures, head to Al Zawra'a Zoo, home to over 1,000 animals. Originally opened in 1971, as Baghdad Zoo, it is a 200-acre sanctuary in the Al Zawra'a Gardens area. Nearby there is also the Al Zawra'a Dream Park – a great family amusement centre – and Zawra'a Tower.
A trip to Baghdad will take you on a culinary tour of Asia, China and Central Africa; each of these regions, and their cultures, have left their mark here.
Bazaars offer a chance to sample the local equivalent of fast food, with street vendors selling dishes such as kubbat mousel, which is layers of burghul crackers, sandwiching lamb cooked with raisins and almonds. Sheikh Mahshi is another popular dish, served on the street and in restaurants. These are small aubergines, stuffed with meat, courgettes and spices and served with fresh tomato and onion sauce.
If the idea of a bazaar is a little too much for you, then you can always lose yourself in one of Baghdad's many shopping malls. These are a much more conventional shopping experience, with balcony-cafés serving tea or strong, aromatic coffee to weary shoppers.
Maxima Hall is one of the larger malls, boasting a private park and a dedicated children's area. You'll also find plenty of shops stocking both national and international brands.

Letter, R. S. Stevens to My Dear Sir [Governor James W. Denver]
Author: Stevens, Robert S.
Date: April 25, 1858
Robert S. Stevens, writing from Washington, D.C. to Governor James W. Denver, reported that Congress had passed the English Bill, which essentially resubmitted the Lecompton Constitution to a vote in Kansas Territory. Stevens predicted that Kansans would vote against it and that Kansas' admission as a state would be delayed until at least 1860. Stevens commented that legislators in Washington failed to understand "the real situation in Kansas," particularly the strength of the antislavery group in the territory.

The Saints are a mutually supportive, nomadic communion of high level Bounty Hunters with Salvation on our minds. We visit Sinners and offer them a chance for Redemption (well, okay, we make 'em an offer they can't refuse...but we think you know what we're trying to say.) Brothers and Sisters, this is Good Work and we love doin' it!
The collective is supported by an elected council that suggests policies and coordinated operations that are then embraced, rejected or modified by the larger group. No robes, no ranks, and NOOOOOO diddlin' the kiddies! We're all about the Sweet, Sweet Redemption and lots of it...lemme hear ya say Hallelujah!
Sainthood is by invitation only to the Chosen few but if you see us in the field and the Spirit moves you, offer a prayer and you may receive The Calling. Or you may not... we often get into the sacramental wine.

Including New Feature-based Capabilities at IMTS 2010 – Streamlines Automatic Hole Making – Adds Attribute & Feature Definitions, Color Modes
Including New Feature-based Capabilities at IMTS 2010 – Streamlines Automatic Hole Making – Adds Attribute & Feature Definitions, Color Modes
Gibbs and Associates, developer of GibbsCAM® software for programming CNC machine tools and a Cimatron company, announced today that it will preview GibbsCAM 2011 enhancements to the automatic and feature-based programming capabilities of GibbsCAM at the International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS), September 13-18, at McCormick Place, in Booth E-3810, where the Cimatron Group will also highlight its CimatronE CAD/CAM suite.
New Features Simplify and Speed Up CNC Programming and Extend Interoperability
Experienced users and those new to GibbsCAM will find demonstrations of the following new GibbsCAM 2011 capabilities very useful in understanding them and appreciating their value:
New Auto Wizard within Hole Manager – Will allow storing default settings for reuse at any time, and the Auto Wizard button will allow invoking the Hole Wizard multiple times quickly. Using the streamlined Hole Manager options, users will be able to take a part with hundreds of holes and, in just three mouse clicks, auto-recognize and program them all.
Attribute Manager & Feature Manager – New tagging capabilities open the door to querying, creation, modification, sorting and filtering of elements and element sets by user-defined and system metadata tags, called attributes. When importing models, GibbsCAM users will be able to control whether and how to import attributes and geometry. Users can define features of any kind, by grouping feature geometry or grouping elements that share a specified attribute. Entities defined as features, or otherwise tagged with attributes, can be visually identified and isolated for manipulation, copying or machining.
Color Modes – When a part contains user-defined features, or when any of its elements are tagged with a color attribute, users will be able to switch among color modes: the traditional Gibbs Color mode; the new Feature Color mode to distinguish user-defined features; and various User Color modes to distinguish and select elements by their color attributes.
New Hole Capabilities – will be included for selecting, recognizing and drilling holes. Several new Variable Peck cycles and various options for user defined Custom Drill cycles will be available, and a new check box will enable reverse-order drilling. Hole Features will be selectable by face (or set of faces), or by coordinate system to which the Hole Feature is aligned. Also, a Hole Feature will be selectable by picking any of the hole's interior faces. Automatic Feature Recognition will automatically recognize entities that resemble holes, when a user specifies a face (or set of faces) or coordinate system.
Imported Feature and Color Recognition/Preservation – In opening models from SolidWorks, Pro/ENGINEER, and other major CAD/CAM packages, GibbsCAM will now read model attributes, then recognize and preserve them as attributes in the GibbsCAM part file. Colors will be preserved as CAD colors in the part file, and hole features in the model will be interpreted as hole features recognizable and usable by Hole Manager and its Auto Wizard. For more information about GibbsCAM, or to locate your local GibbsCAM reseller, call 1-800-654-9399, or email [email protected]. Information about GibbsCAM is also available at the company's website, www.GibbsCAM.com.

It's blood. I think that some of it has to do with the thickness of the body they are cutting through. Maul's torso/waist it pretty sizable when compared to Anakin's arm in AOTC, Dooku's wrists and head in ROTS, Mace's wrist in ROTS and Luke's wrist in ESB so Maul's "flesh wound" wouldn't cauterize nearly as quickly. The wild card obviously is Ponda Baba, but maybe Aqualish are more vascular than humans so they're "bleeders" in comparison.Also IIRC, the Wampa in the ESB SE had a fair about of blood loss after Luke's handiwork as well.

- 1. Why does no one seem to care?
(The following article was sent to me anonymously. It's a timely, accurate, and thoughtful essay that needs to be read by every American.)
Are you aware that we the people are under assault in this country? Maybe not you personally, yet, but when one group of patriots in America is deprived of their freedoms guaranteed to them by the Constitution, it's a hostile invasion of all who stand for liberty. And that is what happened to the ranchers in Harney County, Oregon, in the past weeks, and in Nevada before that. There is a systematic taking of our precious liberties.
Why does no one seem to care?
Where is the media on this? Where are the folks who are focused on restoring our trust lands across the western United States? Are we to sit and watch those among us get incarcerated for ranching? For peacefully protesting the egregious treatment they have received from their own government, for years?
We know that these lands do not belong to the federal government. The federal government manages those lands for we the people under contracts that were supposed to be assigned back to the states years ago. The federal government contracts grazing leases to local ranchers. These grazing leases abut the ranches owned by private citizens of the United States. These ranchers, by and large, are good stewards of the lands they lease to use for grazing. But they are methodically being deprived of the use of the lands owned by we the people, even with legal leases to do so. In Oregon, the Burea of Land Management (BLM) is burning grazing land that is under lease to ranchers for grazing their cattle, and the BLM is burning the cattle, homes, and corrals in the process.Click here to read more
- 2. BLM Agents in Oregon Burned up Cattle, Homes, Buildings, Fences, Grassland
If you haven't been following the Hammond case in Harney County, Oregon, click HERE for the timeline, dating back to the 1970's, of the cruel and corrupt methods used by both the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (FWS) and Bureau of Land Management (BLM), to drive this family, and many other ranchers, off their land. Click HERE for a Simple Action You Can Take to Help the Hammond Family.
Ask yourself: Why are we hearing about so many more catastrophic fires ever since--thanks to the environmentalists and federal agencies--private cattle ranchers and lumber operations have been driven off the land? Add to this that the federal government controls 3 out of every 10 acres of land in America and is power hungry for more. Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, said the government's "massive" control over land has preserved less than 1 percent of endangered species and instead harmed individuals whose livelihoods depend on land ownership.
Oregon ranchers Steven Hammond and his father Dwight were sentenced in June 2012 as "Arsenal Terrorists." The maximum punishment for this federal crime is death. So, what did these ranchers do to warrant their time in prison, and the likelihood that they will be imprisoned again?Click here to read more
- 3. Obama's Radical War on the Navajo Nation and Rural Arizonans
In this video, you will see that West Virginia is suffering 6.9% unemployment, due to the Obama Administration's determination to shut down the coal industry with excessive regulations, thanks to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). There is no mention of the more than 50% unemployment suffered by 300,000 Navajos, or the destruction of jobs in Northern Arizona!
- 4. Please STOP the EPA's War on Coal in Northern Arizona: Sen. Sylvia Allen
Please submit your comments to the EPA expressing your opposition to the jobs-killing "Clean Power Plan." The environmentalist groups--who don't live anywhere near Northern Arizona--are writing in favor of the plan four to one. We need your comments! The letter Arizona Senator Sylvia Allen used to submit a comment is below. You are welcome to use all or part of it, but please write how this plan will affect you and your family.

- 5. The Impact of Coal Restrictions on the Navajo Nation: Sen. Carlyle Begay
In announcing his recent decision to change from the Democrat to the Republican Party, Arizona Senator Carlyle Begay spoke of unemployment rates as high as 80% in his district. He also stated that future progress in Arizona has to include partnerships with rural and tribal communities. It is the Republican party that has embraced these crucial partnerships, which are the cornerstone of the future of our state.
As a rural Arizonan living in Gila County, I understand some of the concerns that we share. Rural and tribal Arizonans live in and of the land. We are sustained by it. We respect and love it. Rural Arizona offers rich natural resources that have fed, clothed, sheltered, and provided energy and water to millions of people.
The Democrat Party has waged war on our livestock, timber, and coal industries, the very industries that sustain Arizona's rural and tribal communities.
Back in July 2015, then Democrat Senator Carlyle Begay spoke at the Heartland Institute's International Conferences on Climate Change.

It's a battle for second worst! Okay, that doesn't sound so great but this series will go a long way in determining who gets the number two pick in the draft next year behind the Astros. Coming into this series the teams are deadlocked at 59-94, and the winner of this series has a great shot at losing out on the second pick. I for one would prefer to play as hard as you can and if you lose, you lose, no tanking it here. The Cubs, to their credit, have done just that as many players and front office staff have made it quite clear that they do not want to lose 100 games. It's nice to have goals, but as a team you really never want to say that your goal is to stay under 100 losses, but it is what it is right now. The Cubs tend to struggle in Colorado regardless of the record of the Rockies, and this series might be more of the same as the Cubs don't exactly have a lights out staff, but you never know. Of course the Rockies can score runs in this park, the Cubs will have to keep up if they want to win this series, I'm expecting a lot of offense over these three games.
Here are the pitching matchups for this week.
Tuesday September 25, 2012
Cubs: Chris Rusin (1-2, 6.00 ERA)
Colorado: Jorge De La Rosa (0-1, 12.27 ERA)
Wednesday September 26, 2012
Cubs: Jason Berken (0-1, 1.80 ERA)
Colorado: Drew Pomeranz (1-9, 5.30 ERA)
Thursday September 27, 2012
Cubs: Chris Volstad (3-10, 6.22 ERA)
Colorado: Jhoulys Chacin (2-5, 4.73 ERA)
Season Series: Cubs lead 2-1
Prediction: Rockies win series, 2-1
Thanks for reading, go Cubs!

For the week ending 1 July 2006 / 5 Tammuz 5766
Fathers and Sons
There is a beautiful program in Israel and other countries called "Avot u'Banim" – "Fathers and Sons". By offering treats and prizes to elementary school-age boys if they study over the weekend with their fathers in a central synagogue, this program has created an exciting revolution in father-son relations and has remarkably increased weekend Torah study.
While the father is almost always in the role of teacher, the opposite is sometimes true. The program directors are fond of showing a photo of a non-observant truck driver studying with his son who somehow is enrolled in a religious school. Anxious to participate in the program, the youngster brought along his father and began to teach him Chumash.
