This is an excerpt from Advanced Sports Nutrition by Dan Benardot.
Studies have demonstrated that athletes experience a degree of voluntary dehydration, even in the presence of available fluids, that lowers blood volume and negatively affects performance. Given the tremendous amount of heat that must be dissipated during exercise through sweat evaporation, athletes must pursue strategies that will sustain the hydration state. Failure to do so will result in poor performance and may also lead to heat illness. Temperature regulation represents the balance between heat produced or received (heat-in) and heat removed (heat-out). When the body's temperature regulation system is working correctly, heat-in and heat-out are in perfect balance, and body temperature is maintained. The two primary systems for dissipating, or losing, heat while at rest are (1) moving more blood to the skin to allow heat dissipation through radiation and (2) increasing the rate of sweat production. These two systems account for about 85 percent of the heat lost when a person is at rest, but during exercise virtually all heat loss occurs from the evaporation of sweat. Working muscles demand more blood flow to deliver nutrients and to remove the metabolic by-products of burned fuel, but at the very same time there is a need to shift blood away from the muscles and toward the skin to increase the sweat rate. With low blood volume, one or both of these systems fail, with a resultant decrease in athletic performance. Heavy exercise can produce heat that is 20 times greater than the heat produced at rest. Without an efficient means of removing this excess heat, body temperature will rise quickly. The upper limit for human survival is about 110 degrees Fahrenheit (43.3 degrees Celsius), or only 11.4 degrees Fahrenheit (or 6.3 degrees Celsius) higher than normal body temperature. With the potential for body temperature to rise at the rate of about 1 degree Fahrenheit every 5 minutes, it is conceivable that underhydrated athletes could be at heatstroke risk only 57 minutes after the initiation of exercise. Athletes working hard for 30 minutes would create 450 kilocalories of excess heat that need to be dissipated to maintain body temperature. Since 1 milliliter of sweat can dissipate approximately .5 calories, athletes would lose about 900 milliliters (almost 1 liter) of sweat. In 1 hour of high-intensity activity, approximately 1.8 liters of water would be lost. On sunny and hot days when the heat of the sun is added to the heat produced from muscular work, athletes would need to produce even more sweat to remove more heat. Sweat doesn't evaporate off the skin as easily when it is humid, so even more sweat must be produced in hot and humid weather. Well-trained athletes exercising in a hot and humid environment may lose more than 3 liters of fluid per hour. No level of low body water is acceptable for achieving optimal athletic performance and endurance, so athletes should have a strategy for maintaining optimal body water during exercise. The problem is that athletes often rely on thirst as the marker of when to drink. Since the thirst sensation occurs only after a loss of 1 to 2 liters of body water, thirst is an inappropriate indicator of when to drink. Instead, the athlete should strategize on how to never get thirsty. Ideally, this strategy should involve helping athletes determine how much fluid is lost during typical bouts of physical activity and developing a fixed fluid-consumption schedule from that information (typically 3 to 8 ounces every 10 to 15 minutes of a sodium-containing 6 to 8 percent carbohydrate solution.)

The last time Penn State Mont Alto had a wrestling team, the college did not even have a gymnasium. How things have changed.
MONT ALTO — The last time Penn State Mont Alto had a wrestling team, the college did not even have a gymnasium.
How things have changed.
On Wednesday, PSU-Mont Alto hosted its first ever wrestling match as Penn State-Greater Allegheny visited campus for a PSUAC dual.
Tyler Warner, a 2012 Waynesboro Area High School graduate and former high school wrestler, won the first ever match at the college, making him the answer to a trivia question for years to come.
"It was great," Warner said after Mont Alto defeated Allegheny 28-25. "It was the first home match for Mont Alto since the '70s. I come in here, I'm going to be the second match. I have a chance to be the first kid to win from Mont Alto on the home mat. Not that I wanted the wreslter before me to lose, but it was really neat to be the first to win at home."
Warner, known for his defensive style of wrestling that opens up opportunities to score points in bunches, pinned Matt Lago in 6:05 of the 149-pound match. Warner, who wrestled at 141 in the Virginia Beach Invitational over the weekend, moved up to 149 for Wednesday's match.
He didn't miss a beat, using his hips nicely to set up his first takedown and then parlaying it into three back points for a 5-0 lead after the first period.
"That's what I do. I roll kids. I throw kids. That's what I'm good at," Warner said.
Lago appeared at first to have a distinct advantage in strength, but Warner didn't allow Lago to get close enough to find out for sure who would win the power wrestling game. For Warner, technique was the deciding factor. After Lago got a hand in and worked for a single leg takedown, Warner used Lago's momentum against him and rolled over on Lago for a takedown.
Lago responded with a cradle in the second period for three points. However, Warner fought off a pin and rallied for a takedown followed by five nearfall points and a 12-3 lead. Warner sealed the match with a pin 1:05 into the third period.
"We talked about getting bonus points this week," said Mont Alto head coach Bruce Kocsis. "I needed bonus points from Tyler and from Alec (Warner). Kenny (Burrs) ended up pulling out a major. It was exactly what we were talking about."
Tyler Warner's win was preceded by Erik Rayman's major decision over Mont Alto's Danny May at 141 and gave the home team an 18-4 lead, which, in college wrestling is hardly a commanding lead.
Bonus points were certainly of the essence for both teams, especially after each team forfeited two matches. There was a no contest at 285. That made the six contested matches crucial in terms of points.
Alec Warner pinned Patrick Corcoran in 1:05 and Burrs sealed the victory with a 12-4 major decision at 184. Burrs scored on a late takedown to increase the lead to eight points. His win made it 28-13 and was followed by consecutive forfeits at 197 and 235 that gave Allegheny 12 points.
Trailing 18-4, Allegheny won at 157 and 165 to cut the deficit to 18-13. Alec Warner put some space between the teams with his first-period pin. Burrs then closed the door on Allegheny.
Worth the wait
In a case of delay but not denial, the Lions hit the mat nine months late. The original first home match of Feb. 2 never materialized after a season of growing pains last winter when the team lacked numbers and was unable to compete in dual meets.
The former site for wrestling — the old East Junior High School in Waynesboro — is a memory. Only the cupola remains on the grounds of Waynesboro Area Middle School. On a brisk early November night, the nearly 40 years since the college has fielded a wrestling program was erased in one night.
The college campus is now abuzz with dorm rooms, a multi-purpose gymnasium, four-year degree programs and inclusion in the United States Collegiate Athletic Association that gives Mont Alto the opportunity to compete on a national level in sports. Athletes can now compete at Mont Alto all four years, or transfer to a four-year college with the opportunity to play a sport elsewhere.
"We did a feasibility study to see what next sport we would be adding," said PSU-Mont Alto athletic director Marty Ogle. "We found there are more high school wrestlers in Pennsylvania per population than any other state in the country. We're excited about it."
The sport was on the fast track last year. Following the feasibility study, the proposal was approved in October 2011. Not long after, Bruce Kocsis was hired as the head coach.
"It felt great," Kocsis said of last night's home match. "I'm glad to have a home match finally for the first time. It's nice to have some wrestlers this year. That's what we really missed last year.
"Last year, technically, we didn't have any season at the beginning. We didn't have the wrestlers who wrestled before in high school. We were starting from scratch. This year we had a year of recruiting. We brought in 15 freshmen this year and we have a solid squad."
Mont Alto will wrestle Gloucester Community College (N.J.) tonight at Gettysburg High School. The Lions will compete in the Washington and Jefferson Tournament on Saturday beginning at 12 p.m. The next home match is Jan. 23 against Penn State Fayette.

Another View: Americans support 2nd Amendment with only modest checksBY WAYNE F. LESPERANCE JR.
December 17. 2012 6:22PM
Within hours of the tragic shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School, the chattering class, pundits and the Twitterverse began to buzz with the political maneuverings of those interested in exploiting the horrific events unfolding in Newtown, Conn. Some immediately began clamoring for a new conversation about gun control and gun bans. Others reaffirmed a position of no compromise on anything related to the Second Amendment. And so what followed was the back and forth of intransigent ideological positions that leave no room for even the most obvious forms of compromise.
Of course, there is nothing new about politicos standing up for strongly held convictions. And what seems to pass for governing these days is a recitation of talking points that highlight the resolve of some leaders while decrying the potential disasters associated with the other side's point of view. If you need an example, just consider the way in which our national economy is careening towards a fiscal cliff.
But there is hope. While most folks see the fiscal cliff in very abstract terms, there is no such lack of clarity when it comes to guns. For example, Americans do not believe guns or gun culture are the root cause for mass shootings like the one in Connecticut. In a Pew Research Survey following the July cinema shooting in Aurora, Colo., 67 percent of those surveyed believed that mass shootings, "are just the isolated acts of troubled individuals." Fewer than � believed such attacks, "reflect broader problems in American society." For those who seek to argue that there is a broader gun culture responsible for events like the one that took place in Newtown, the American people disagree by a significant degree.
Furthermore, even after events like the Virginia Tech shootings, the attack on Rep. Gabby Giffords, and the mass shootings at Ft. Hood, Texas, Americans remain largely opposed to any broad-based ban on handguns. In a 2011 Gallup Poll, for example, 73 percent of respondents said they would not support the banning of handguns. Second Amendment advocates should take great satisfaction in these results.
Still, Americans are supportive of some restrictions on gun rights. First, survey results reveal support for banning high-capacity ammunition clips. A 2011 ABC News/Washington Post survey found 57 percent favored a ban on high-capacity clips. Thirty-nine percent opposed such a ban. A CNN/ORC poll from August 2012 found a very similar breakdown over the banning of clips. Second, the same CNN poll found 96 percent of those who responded supported a background check for all gun purchases. And in the same poll, a majority supported the ban of assault weapons like the AK-47 and prohibiting gun ownership by convicted felons and those deemed mentally ill.
In short, the American people are sending a nuanced message to policymakers. Most support the Second Amendment and believe that private ownership of firearms should remain largely unrestricted. They believe further that what happened in Newtown is the product of an individual, not a gun culture. But they also believe there are reasonable restrictions that can and should be implemented to restrict who can own a firearm, what sort of weapon they can own, and the amount of ammunition that can be loaded into the weapon.
The preamble to the Constitution of the United States begins with three simple words, "We the people," that suggest that our charter document was an expression of the people's will. When it comes to gun control, the American people have some very modest and reasonable ideas that they will support to make our country safer. This sort of reasonable approach to developing appropriate policy should inform legislators across the country. Unfortunately, so long as Washington and state Legislatures remain locked in their ideological positions, reasonable measures to control guns have little chance of gaining traction.
Wayne F. Lesperance Jr. is a professor of political science and director of the Center for Civic Engagement at New England College in Henniker.

Stars owner found guilty on federal environmental charges
Dallas Stars owner Tom Gaglardi was found guilty Thursday of violating federal environmental laws while renovating his waterfront home near Kamloops, B.C., in 2010.
Gaglardi, who also owns the WHL's Kamloops Blazers and is the head of Northland Properties, was convicted on two counts of harmful alteration of a fish habitat in Kamloops provicincial court. Charges were laid against the 47-year-old after construction workers, under his instructions, improperly destroyed materials.
During the trial, a Northland employee testified he was ordered to destroy documents and throw a hard drive "in the lake" when federal investigators began looking into the case.
There were other things, however, on the NHL owner's mind during proceedings.
According to Kamloops This Week, Gaglardi had a notebook during the trial and appeared to alternate between writing case notes and Stars line combinations. He was also told repeatedly to turn off his phone, which, at one point, he hid inside a book.
Gaglardi faces a maximum penalty of $1 million in fines and six months in jail. He's due back in court Aug. 21 for sentencing.

NEW YORK (AP) — Exit, Philip Roth? Having conceived everything from turning into a breast to a polio epidemic in his native New Jersey, Roth has apparently given his imagination a rest.
The 79-year-old novelist recently told a French publication, Les inRocks, that his 2010 release "Nemesis" would be his last. Spokeswoman Lori Glazer of Houghton Mifflin Harcourt said Friday that she had spoken with Roth and that he confirmed his remarks. Roth's literary agent, Andrew Wylie, declined comment.
Roth certainly produced, completing more than 20 novels over half a century and often turning out one a year. He won virtually every prize short of the Nobel and wrote such classics as "American Pastoral" and "Portnoy's Complaint."
His name will remain on new releases, if only because the Library of America has been issuing hardcover volumes of his work. Roth also is cooperating with award-winning biographer Blake Bailey on a book about his life.
The author chose an unexpected forum to break the news, but he has been hinting at his departure for years. He has said that he no longer reads fiction and seemed to say goodbye to his fictional alterego, Nathan Zuckerman, in the 2007 novel "Exit Ghost."
Retirement is rarely the preferred option for writers, for whom the ability to tell stories or at least set down words is often synonymous with life itself. Poor health, discouragement and even madness are the more likely ways literary careers end. Roth apparently is fit and his recent novels had been received respectfully, if not with the awe of his most celebrated work.
"I don't believe it," Roth's friend and fellow writer Cynthia Ozick said upon learning the news. "A writer who stops writing while still breathing has already declared herself posthumous."
His parting words from "Nemesis": "He seemed to us invincible."
Roth's interview appeared in French and has been translated, roughly, by The Associated Press. He tells Les inRocks that "Nemesis" was "mon dernier livre" ("My last book") and refers to "Howard's End" author E.M. Forster, and how he quit fiction in his 40s. Roth said he doesn't plan to write a memoir, but will instead go through his archives and help ensure that Bailey's biography comes out in his lifetime.
Explaining why he stopped, Roth said that at age 74 he became aware his time was limited and that he started re-reading his books of the past 20-30 years, in reverse order. He decided that he agreed with what the boxer Joe Louis had said late in life, that he had done the best he could with what he had.

It is possible that the main title of the report Hyperlipoproteinemia Type III is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
Hyperlipoproteinemia type III, also known as dysbetalipoproteinemia or broad beta disease, is a rare genetic disorder characterized by improper breakdown (metabolism) of certain fatty materials known as lipids, specifically cholesterol and triglycerides. This results in the abnormal accumulation of lipids in the body (hyperlipidemia). Affected individuals may develop multiple yellowish, lipid-filled bumps (papules) or plaques on the skin (xanthomas). Affected individuals may also develop the buildup of fatty materials in the blood vessels (artherosclerosis) potentially obstructing blood flow and resulting in coronary heart disease or peripheral vascular disease. Most cases of hyperlipoproteinemia type III are inherited as an autosomal recessive trait.

Multi-region support in Cloud Files
Rackspace allows you to choose the data center where you would like to store your content. You may select our Dallas (DFW), Chicago (ORD), North Virginia (IAD), Hong Kong (HKG), or Sydney, Australia (SYD) locations through our multi region support. This means you can have your Cloud Servers or Dedicated Servers in one location and your data in another. Or, you can keep them in the same data center to reduce latency and take advantage of free bandwidth using our internal data center network, ServiceNet.
Customers who only serve certain geographic regions may also find it helpful to locate the Cloud Files objects as close to that region as possible.
Note: Not all third-party libraries that communicate with Cloud Files have been updated to support multiple regions. In some cases if the tool you use isn't uploading to the region you expect, you can contact Support and ask them to change your account's default region. That may get the tool to use your preferred region for file transfers.
You don't need to do anything to set up multi region capabilities for your account. All U.S. accounts have access to multiple regions. If you use the Auth 1.1 or 2.0 API, you may choose which endpoint to interact with; once you've authenticated against the regional endpoint, your Cloud Files operations will only affect that region's content. So, if you have content in two locations and you want to make edits, you will have to make those edits in both locations.
MyRackspace and Cloud Control Panel users can also take advantage of the multi region feature. When you create a container, choose the data center where you would like it. Your control panel will reflect the location of your container.
The following screenshots illustrate this new capability:
MyRackspace Portal - Create New Container:
Cloud Control Panel - Create New Container:
Cloud Control Panel - Upload Files or click the Containers link in the breadcrumb trail to see your container list.
Cloud Control Panel - List Containers
Our API users will also see changes in their Service Catalog, which now shows multiple endpoints for "object store":
Cloud Files does NOT automatically replicate data across regions. Customers who would like to have their data in both places should ensure PUTs are done to both endpoints and they will be charged for data stored in both locations along with related bandwidth charges.
All customers existing previous to September 1, 2012 had their current region set as their "default", which orders it first in the list of endpoints when authenticating against Cloud Files using our Auth 1.1 or 2.0 APIs. Customers using Auth 1.0 will still only have a single endpoint returned.
If you have customers around the world, don't forget that you can deliver your content rapidly with Akamai's Content Delivery Network (CDN), which caches content at global edge locations and saves users time because the requested content is received from within the region instead of coming from the origin data center.

text: UPDATED: National Guard, shipyard in NH recalling more than 300 furloughed workers By GRETYL MACALASTERUnion Leader Correspondentand PAT GROSSMITHNew Hampshire Union Leader October 07. 2013 8:19PM The New Hampshire National Guard and Portsmouth Naval Shipyard have recalled most guardsmen and shipyard workers furloughed by the federal government shutdown Oct. 1. About 309 New Hampshire National Guardsmen — 192 from the Army National Guard and 117 Air National Guard — reported to work at their normal duty time and location Monday. Another 30 guardsmen on temporary full-time order remain furloughed. "We are still operating in a very unstable environment," Maj. Gen. William Reddel said Monday. The Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine, also announced Monday that most furloughed workers were called back to work. About 1,500 shipyard workers were furloughed last Tuesday. The remaining estimated 3,000 workers were required to work with a promise — but no guarantee — of being paid when the government re-opens. Paul O'Connor, president of the Metal Trades Council at the shipyard, said their pay status remains unclear. Reddel said his decision to recall furloughed guardsmen — most of whom are military technicians — was based on new guidance from U.S. Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel concerning the implementation of the Pay Our Military Act or POMA. Reddel praised the recall, but warned conditions here and nationally remain uncertain. "With the lack of appropriated funds for the new fiscal year, we face serious shortfalls in operation and maintenance budgets. Our training and readiness will be adversely affected," added Reddel, who is adjutant general of the New Hampshire National Guard. Eventually, money will run out to pay utility bills for such basic services as water and electricity or fuel, Reddel said. Purchases of replacement parts will be postponed. "We would have to shut down our operations and close armories," Reddel said. "I would have to send my recalled soldiers and airmen home again." Campground shutdowns Sen. Kelly Ayotte sent a letter to the Forest Service chief Monday objecting to a directive that threatens to close 22 privately owned campgrounds this week that contract with the federal government in New Hampshire's White Mountain National Forest. "While the shutdown is harming private tourism-based businesses near federal lands, I am concerned that the Forest Service is unfairly targeting private businesses with which it contracts — even though those businesses are independently operated," the Republican wrote to Tom Tidwell. The U.S. District Court in Concord has not been affected by the shutdown to date, according to the clerk's office. But prosecutors and legal support staff at the U.S. Attorney's Office in Concord are undergoing revolving furloughs since Oct. 1, U.S. Attorney for New Hampshire John P. Kacavas said. An initial round of 19 criminal and civil prosecutors and support staff were placed on revolving furloughs for two days each last week, he said. Another 17 to 22 will undergo revolving furloughs this week. In the short term, the furloughs have not affected the office's ability to prosecute cases, he said. New Hampshire Union Leader Staff Writer Kathryn Marchocki contributed to this report. Politics New Hampshire

14 Days of Loving-Kindness: Day 14 - Send Love to an Author/Writer/Librarian for International Book Giving Day
The obvious choice would have been to focus on my husband or kiddos today (on Valentine's Day), but I knew I'd be doing something loving and kind for them today no matter what. So, I went in a different direction. Inspired by International Book Giving Day, also Feb. 14th, I thought it would be perfect to do something kind for an author or librarian today. We'll be dropping Valentine's Day cards off with our two favorite librarians, and writing a letter to an author telling them why we love their book. Of course, we'll also be participating in International Book Giving Day.
Wild Thing decided wants to give G'Ma book, so I expect that we'll make her one today. We also had some wonderful friends send us some fabulous new books recently, so Caterpillar and Wild Thing will each pick a book or two for us to give to a local organization that helps children in need.
If you're interested in participating in International Book Giving Day, their site offers simple ways to get involved. I also wanted to share this Huffington Post article that features 4 great places to donate books, including an organization that even covers the cost of shipping your books and two organizations for sending books to troops serving overseas.
Donating books is actually something we do regularly, since we like to pass along some of our books when we receive new ones. The most common ways we donate or share books include:
- Dropping books off at our favorite coffee shop that has a children's book corner
- Donating them to local thrift stores
- Sending favorites to friends who are having children
- Having a small stash of books on hand to give to friends at the end of playdates. (We discovered that his helps with the transition of leaving and with car rides home).
Sometimes, we have specific recipients in mind. This past summer, a friend, who blogs at Capri + 3, told me of another mother she knew who experienced a terrible house fire that destroyed virtually everything that belonged to her 3 children. I was heading over to see the damage myself and share their story with the hope that others might help out this family in need.
As I prepared to leave the house, I packed up a bag of apples to take to them and explained to Wild Thing (then 3) where I was going and that the children whose house had caught fire had lost everything. He thoughtfully and carefully selected some books to give them. Of the five books Wild Thing selected, 3 were new and 1 was a major favorite of his, The Very Quiet Cricket by Eric Carle. I let him know that the books would now belong to these other children. I made sure he understood this and gave him a chance to select other books to give instead. However, my explanation only reaffirmed his choice. He wanted those children to have some books that were new and books that he thought were really good. (Confession: it was harder for me to accept his selections than it was for him).
Inspired to give a book to someone today? Any of the books on these lists would make great gifts!

Tamil Nadu has 5.3 crore voters for Lok Sabha polls
Chennai, Jan 10 (IANS) Around 5.3 crore voters in Tamil Nadu would decide the fate of candidates contesting the 39 seats from the state in the Lok Sabha polls this year.
According to the final electoral rolls after Special Summary Revision, 2014, by the Election Commission of India, Tamil Nadu has 5.37 crore – 2.69 crore males, 2.68 crore females and 2,996 others (transgenders).
In a summary revision, the rolls are published as draft, without house-to-house enumeration, so that claims and objections can be invited. This draft of the rolls has been released after revisions were made, incorporating claims and objections, officials said.
According to a statement issued by the state Chief Electoral Officer here Friday, the net addition of new voters after the revision is 23.49 lakh.
The Election Commission said the total number of electors to total population is 71.24 percent. This is in line with the projected census ratio of 18-plus population to the total population, which is 71.16 percent.
The commission said there is a shortfall in the youth (18-19 age group) enrolment. The enrolment in this group is around 11.99 lakh, against an expected number of around 24.46 lakh.
The commission said efforts are being made to motivate this group to enroll.
The voter identity cards will be given to those who are newly enrolled at the polling booths on National Voter's Day, Jan 25.
The commission said the process of continuous revision of electoral rolls is on, and those who do not find their names on the rolls can apply directly or online.

At the start of the project, it was decided to have free graphics that anyone could create and add. To make that a reality, the program needs to accept a known file format, such that a game extension can be stored in a single file (to simplify distribution).
The rcd/data_format.pdf file is the key-file here, as it contains an independent description of the format (separate of any implementation). It serves as the master description of the file format.
At the start of the project, a quick and dirty approach was taken to create the data files. With special-case Python code, and a lot of copy/paste, a solution was coded quickly.
This code has worked well for the past six months in the development of the C++ code, but it was already clear it needed further work at some point.
After finishing most of the path puzzles, I wanted to extend the data format. Doing that in the old and hacky code did not seem very good, thus the time had come to cleanup first.
The data-file format description has been moved from Python to XML. The
actual data is now also captured in XML format.
As an example of what the new format looks like for a graphics artist, consider the fragment from rcd/freerct.xml below (with some small additions to make it a complete XML file):
<rcdfiles>This describes the four arrows used for indicating the direction of path building. The data file is called 'buildarrows_8bpp64.rcd', and the data block containing arrows is called 'BDIR' (Build DIRection). It has five fields. The first field is the tile-width (so you can have different arrow sprites for different zoom-levels). Fields two to five are the four sprites, which are pulled from a sprite sheet, in the order north-east, south-east, south-west, and north-west (see the names attribute).
<file target="buildarrows_8bpp64.rcd" magic="RCDF" version="1">
<gameblock magic="BDIR" version="1">
<field name="width" value="64"/> <!-- Zoom-width -->
<sheet x-base="0" y-base="0" step="64" step="64"
names="ne,se,sw,nw" x-offset="-32" y-offset="-33"
width="64" height="64"/>
It is still quite a lot of data, but I think it is a big step forward from coding Python to define both the file format and the actual data.

Please forgive my absence from the gallery and forum. In my part of the state we are living in the Stone Age, literally! The telephone exchange burnt down last Thursday so from Thursday onwards we have had no phone, no internet connection, no ATMS or eftpos (it's cash everything, too bad if you haven't got cash, no credit cards being used). It's affected 60,000 homes. We have mobile coverage (cell phone) and the landlines will go back on Friday from all accounts with internet a lot later. Eeeek. Mike bought a wireless dongle (the last one sold in this town) and is using it sparingly for business purposes, and it seems to be sketchy at best, working sometimes, then dropping out. So I'm just sneaking in some uploads while he's not looking
Oh and a lot of journalling in this page, but it's a story I want to remember forever, such a fun fun crazy day.

Armed with new exercise friends and a plan to see four waterfalls in a day, I met up with Casey and Debbie at 8am and we set off on our mission. Left to my own devices I probably wouldn't bother, but with like minded new friends by my side, it's just amazing to me the things I have been achieving. End result of the day we covered about 20 KILOMETRES walking! Firming up friendships, I laughed like I have never laughed before, pushed my body to its limits and then pushed some more, seen some magical sights and had a wonderfully exhilarating day, which ended with me walking back in the door at home at about 10.15pm. Wow! What a day. We saw MELBA FALLS, walking through huge tree ferns with the air so clear. We decided to take a 'selfie' at each falls showing our progress. LITTLE AIRE FALLS, a lot more traipsing to get to these falls, with a muddy trail that Casey soon found out about when she went slipping! The day was warming up and we were still eager. Onward to TRIPLET FALLS ... this was a neat loop of another 2.5 kilometres, and as the name implies there's three parts to these falls, just stunning. I was feeling pretty great at this stage, holy heck, I was walking kilometres! Looking a little bit hot and flustered, but I was keeping up with the girls as fast as these old knees would let me. After a picnic lunch, which I might say tasted better than anything, we headed on to HOPETOUN FALLS, I thought this was one of the prettiest falls we'd seen. And again the 'selfie', although I'm wondering now looking at it, were our smiles just kind of only half there at this stage? Our smiles are not quite reaching our eyes if you know what I
mean. I was feeling quite stonkered but willing to keep up with the girls. So we'd done it, that was four waterfalls in a day. But surely we could fit something else in. We decided on popping into MAITS REST, which was a beautiful walk amongst the lush green rainforest type conditions. It was a great relaxing walk after our hard climbs. Talk about replenishing the souls, this place was serene. So that was it, we'd done it! But the niggling feeling that we could go one more kept at us. After popping into Cape Otway Lighthouse and finding out the exhorbitant price just to go and check out the lighthouse, we spotted a sign ... RAINBOW FALLS ... 5.5 km. It was just after 4pm, should we round off the day with a final 5.5 km walk? It did sound exotic, we imagined a huge waterfall with the sun hitting it just so that a rainbow would be formed. The itch had to be scratched. Rainbow falls to finish up ... so we set off walking ... and walking ... and still walking.
This was a different type of walk, it was beachy, it was sandy, there were scrubby wind blown plants. The path took us up along the cliff face with a magnificent view,but where were the falls??? We had been walking for about an hour and a half, and ended up down the dunes onto the beach below. Still walking, we had come this far, by hook or by crook we were going to find these jolly falls. Until we came to a trickle of water oh about a foot high. A complete WTF moment! Were these Rainbow Falls? Are you kidding us? By this stage we were delirious, we were hot, we were bothered, and to be honest crazed laughter was taking place. Also in the back of our minds we were thinking about the traipse back, and the sand dune we were going to have to scale back up. It was then we realised the 5.5 km to the "supposed" (cough cough) falls was not a round trip number. We had walked 5.5 km there and now we had to talk 5.5 km back!!! I swear on the way back, our legs were going by autopilot. We weren't talking, we were just concentrating on putting one foot in front of the other. The disappointment of our last so called waterfall was huge. I was actually numb from walking by now.
Heading home we were driving back down the Cape Otway Lighthouse Road and came across the most magical sight. We saw koalas EVERYWHERE. We looked up into the trees and they were like fruit perched the branches, climbing and wandering everywhere. We stopped and got out and were amazed and quite thrilled. After the disappointment of Rainbow Falls, this was magic. This was the PERFECT end to the day. It was only when the bad assed angry koala came stomping down the road toward us, with the most impressive grunt and growl, did we realise we still had enough energy in our legs to run when it rounded us up we flew around the other side of the car and got out of its way!!
It soon got dark and we stopped in at Lavers Hill Pub wondering if we could get a coffee. I think the publican who was sitting outside relaxing took pity on us and told us to come next door, he turned the lights on and unlocked the general store and got the coffee machine going for us. Ahhhh, a latte never tasted so good!
And dare I say, only after we turned to our friend Mr. Google the next day, we realised they weren't Rainbow Falls after all !! Hysterical. We had to walk perhaps another 500 metres up the beach, and to add insult to injury it was actually in the background of one of my beach shots. One day we'll see them, maybe next year!

A university official has a legitimate educational interest if the official is: performing a task that is specified in his/her position description or by contract agreement; performing a task related to a student's education; performing a task relating to the discipline of a student; or providing a service or benefit relating to the student or student's family, such as health care, counseling, job placement or financial aid.
At its discretion, the university may provide directory information in accordance with the provisions of the act to include: student name, address, telephone number, photo ID, date of birth, major field of study, dates of attendance, degrees and awards received, participation in officially recognized activities and sports, and weight and height of members of athletic teams. Students may withhold directory information by notifying the Office of Student Affairs in writing within two weeks after the first day of class for the current term.
Requests for nondisclosure will be honored by the university for only one semester. Therefore, authorization to withhold directory information must be filed each semester in the Office of Student Affairs.
The law provides students the right to inspect and review information contained in their education records, to challenge the contents of their education records and to have a hearing on the matter. The vice president of student affairs or his designee at Western Connecticut State University has been designated to coordinate the inspection and review procedures for student educational records, which include: admissions, personal, academic, financial, disciplinary, cooperative education and placement records. Students wishing to review their educational records must make requests to the registrar listing the item of interest. Only records covered by the act will be made available within 45 days of the request. Students may have copies made of their records with certain exceptions (e.g. a copy of their academic record for which a financial "hold" exists, or a transcript of an original or source document which exists elsewhere). To obtain a copy of your transcript, contact the Registrar's Office at (203) 837-9200. Educational records do not include: records of instructional, administrative and educational personnel, which are the sole possession of the maker and are not accessible or revealed to any individual except a temporary substitute, records of a law enforcement unit, student health records, employment records or alumni records. Health records, however, may be reviewed by the physician of the student's choosing.
Students may not inspect and/or review the following as outlined by the act: financial information submitted by their parents' confidential letters and recommendations associated with admissions, employment or job placement, honors to which they have waived their rights of inspection and review, or education records containing information about more than one student. In this last case, the university will permit access only to that part of the record which pertains to the inquiring student. The university is not required to permit students to inspect and/or review confidential letters and recommendations placed in their files prior to January 1, 1975, provided these letters were collected under established policies of confidentiality and were used only for the purpose for which they were collected.
Students who believe that their educational records contain information that is inaccurate or misleading or is otherwise in violation of their privacy or other rights may discuss their problems informally with the Office of Student Affairs.
In the event a student's request, either to have access to a record or to amend information in a file has been denied, the student may ask for a formal hearing. The student must submit a written request for the hearing to the vice president for academic affairs. The hearing panel will consist of the vice president for academic affairs, the associate vice president for academic affairs and the academic dean of his/her school. Decisions of the hearing panel are final. Any alteration to the student's record will be in accordance with the decision of the hearing panel and will become a permanent part of that record. The student has a right to add a statement to a challenged record if the panel's decision is not to amend the record in accordance with the student's request.
Students who believe that the adjudications of their challenges were unfair or not in keeping with the provisions of the act may request, in writing, assistance from the president of the university to aid them in filing complaints with the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), U.S. Department of Education, Washington, D.C. 20202.

WICHITA - A Kansas doctor linked to drug overdoses by active-duty Fort Riley soldiers remained jailed after prosecutors told a federal judge he poses "a serious risk of flight" given his financial resources outside the country.
Michael P. Schuster is charged in a federal criminal complaint with conspiracy to distribute drugs. His initial hearing Wednesday in federal court in Wichita left unanswered whether any soldiers or family members died from overdoses, as suggested in an affidavit filed in support of the charge.
First appearances in federal courts are typically used to set bonds and conditions of release, but the government in this case requested temporary detention, which U.S. Magistrate Judge Karen Humphreys granted. A full detention hearing to determine whether Schuster should remain in custody pending trial, or be released on bond, has been set for Tuesday in Topeka.
The 53-year-old Manhattan, Kan., physician has financial resources of more than $1 million outside the U.S., a home in Paraguay and two passports, Assistant U.S. Attorney Aaron Smith told the court.
Defense attorney Barry Clark declined comment outside the courtroom, saying he has not yet seen the government's evidence.
The charges were filed the same day that the FBI searched Schuster's clinic, Manhattan Pain and Spine. The Manhattan clinic is about 15 miles from Fort Riley, a U.S. Army base that is home to the 1st Infantry Division. Fort Riley officials declined comment Wednesday on the case or any soldier deaths, citing the ongoing investigation.
Schuster was arrested Tuesday at the Manhattan airport, FBI spokeswoman Bridgett Patton said.
The investigation into his clinic began early last year when the Riley County Police Department told federal prosecutors that Schuster was issuing prescriptions for high doses of controlled substances based on minimal physical exams. Many of those drugs wound up being peddled on the street.
Fort Riley physicians and hospital staff also voiced concerns to military investigators about several overdose deaths of active-duty soldiers and family members who were patients of Dr. Schuster, according to an affidavit by FBI agent Jason Sahin that was filed with the criminal complaint.
Schuster was the only one in his office authorized to prescribe controlled substances. But Sahin wrote in his affidavit that Schuster would sign his name to blank prescriptions and leave those behind, directing staff to fill them out while he was traveling, including overseas to Russia, South Africa and Uruguay. Authorities allege Schuster was out of the office when 542 patients received prescriptions for drugs including the painkillers oxycodone and morphine.
A federal grand jury is expected to consider the case next week for indictment.
The case against Schuster is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Tanya Treadway, who successfully prosecuted Stephen and Linda Schneider, the Haysville couple convicted in 2010 of a moneymaking conspiracy linked to 68 overdose deaths. The Schneiders were also convicted of conspiracy, unlawfully prescribing drugs, health care fraud and money laundering. Stephen Schneider was sentenced to 30 years, and his wife to 33 years.

My Reasons To Switch
The main reason I wanted to switch is because I'm one of those Iron Butt loonies with a fuel cell and beefed up sub frame...and replacing a burned out bulb in the tail is a genuine PITA for me. Even running the "long life" bulbs supposedly rated at 10,000 hours...they don't seem to last close to that. I've had to replace them several times now in parking lots right before rallies and it sucks!. With a 50,000 hour rating of the LEDs I'm hoping for longer life at least.
1157 rated hours 1200/5000One thing I'd rather not sacrifice is braking conspiciousness. I know enough of LEDs that the ratings and methods to calculate are very different and what they promote on websites doesn't match expectations. I could throw milacandela ratings and attempt to convert to lumens, but pictures later are probably more telling.
1157 LL 2000/10,000 hours
LED 50,000 hours
Another LED advantage is you might save a few watts and that's always good for us Gen 1 owners. BY my calculations the tail light loop uses about 17 watts in the stock pair and about .14 watts for the LED.....so 17 watts is a small gain.
1157 and 1157 LL 8.5/27 wattsAnother thing I didn't realize, but these bulbs also illuminate the license plate. If one looks closely at the bottom of the reflector you see windows that let some of the white light down onto the plate. Using a regular backward-projecting LED wouldn't aim any light down this direction. By the way...I suggest cleaning it occasionally....it is grungy!
LED .07/.11 (50/75 mA @ 14v)
So, I had done enough homework to drop $32 after shipping for a pair of the bulbs. Superbrightleds.com even had a model specially designed to mimic an 1157 with 19 backward facing elements and 6 LED elements aimed towards the plate.
I Got Mail!
They came standard mail in a few days and looked well engineered at closer inspection. Another thing to note is that the width of this bulb is 25mm...the same as a stock 1157. Many LED replacement lights are larger than the hole in the reflector and won't fit. So, if you think about a different 1157 replacement don't go more than 19 LEDs on the face or much over 25mm.
The Pictures
For the shots that follow the left is stock and right is LED. I replaced the right bulb and took this series of shots. Unless noted, for consistency each is f4.5 at ISO-100 for 1/10 second on an Olympus E-500 dSLR.
Tail lights on, no brakes.
The LED bulb (right) illuminates the rearward LEDs to 50mA....which seems about the same as the stock bulb in intensity. The reflector is "filled" about the same level.
Oblique view with just the tail lights on....again they look about the same.
Hitting the Brakes
With the addition of brake lights the LED adds 25mA to the output for a total of 75mA (50% increase) while the standard goes from 8.5 watts 27 (300+% increase). The difference in reflector fill and overall luminosity is much more noticeable. The left is from the bulb filament that is being redirected backwards by the reflector where the LED is coming more directly from the 19 LEDs.
I think this is the reason the bulb is more obvious as a shape behind the plastic. It looks blingly cool, but I suspect it's not as noticeable in an emergency situation by traffic behind you.
At an oblique angle the intensity is more similar. This surprised me a little bit, but I think the reflector is biased to focus backwards...which makes sense since you are less concerned with traffic at oblique angles than the car right behind you.
Fleeing The Scene
I took another picture with the garage lights out and no brakes (f4.5 ISO-100 1/4 second). License plate illumination.....if you're into that sort of thing....is slightly better and whiter with the LED.
When I replaced the second bulb with an LED I had a system hiccup. My Hyperlites started flashing even when I didn't press the brake. Doh! But after a weekend of pondering, forum suggestions, and even popping a fuse (it's the "fan" circuit BTW)...I found I had installed the Hyperlites last year incorrectly. Once I read Hyperlites troubleshooting suggestions and swapped two lead wire the LEDs worked fine together.
Final Analysis
The 19 LED rearward facing and 6 side facing output in low-level tail light mode is comparable to the 8.5 watts of a regular bulb. People are going to be able to see the tail of the FJR fine cruising at night. Call it a push.
But if you stand on the brakes those 19 LEDs...even in high-level output mode....they just aren't as good as a set of conventional filament blasting out 50+ watts of photons to the Suburban that may be behind you. You can mitigate this with a supplementary set of Hyperlites and blink your way to conspicuousness, but if you're thinking of swapping just the existing bulbs....I'd think long and hard about LEDs.
I'm personally going to stick with LEDs because I DO have Hyperlites and really hate tearing the tail off my bike every other year to replace a burned out bulb.
Other Bulbs
I didn't consider replacing the outboard turn signal 1156 bulbs. The turn signal bulbs are bright like the brake lights and I would worry they wouldn't be as bright as stock bulbs. That and turn signals work off a flasher so LEDs would change the blink rate drastically. Finally, turn signal bulbs rarely burn out anyway because they're not on very often. I've never lost one before.....and same deal for potential watt savings because they're rarely on.
I didn't consider the front marker/turn 7443 wedge bulbs in the fairing. Besides being easy to change the blink rate would likely be an issue to. Watt savings would be a very small issue because they use 5 watts each in cruise mode.
After I posted this review somebody brought up alternative bulbs for the 1157 that potentially include a higher wattage brake filament. The 7443 appears to have a 40 watt rating and lower life than the supposed 32 of the 1157 so I went to Napa and bought a pair. Pictures didn't show any difference though and when I ran an ohm reading on 1157 and 7443 I got .6 ohms on both. Maybe the 7443 has become Americanized...I dunno.
Left is 1157 and right is 2357. f4.5 at ISO-100 for 1/10 second. I couldn't tell any difference.

An immediate allergic reaction involves two actions of your immune system:
Your immune system produces immunoglobulin E (IgE), a specific class of antibody. IgE circulates through the blood and works against specific substances, but typically not against foods that we eat. A person's ability to form IgE specific to something as benign as food is an inherited predisposition. Generally, such people come from families in which allergies are common -- not necessarily food allergies, but perhaps hay fever, asthma, or hives. Someone with two allergic parents is more likely to develop food allergies than someone with one allergic parent.
The food-specific IgE then attaches to mast cells. These cells are in all body tissue, but are more often found near sites of allergic reactions, such as the nose, throat, lungs, skin, and gastrointestinal (GI) tract.
If your immune system tends to form IgE to certain foods, you must be exposed to the food before you can have an allergic reaction. When you digest this food, it triggers your body to produce a food-specific IgE in large amounts. The food-specific IgE attaches to the surfaces of mast cells. In the future, when you eat that food, it interacts with food-specific IgE on the surface of the mast cells and triggers the cells to release chemicals such as histamine.
Depending upon the tissue in which they are released, these chemicals will cause you to have various symptoms of food allergy. Food allergens are proteins within the food that enter your bloodstream after the food is digested. From there, they go to target organs, such as your skin or nose, and cause allergic reactions. An allergic reaction to food can take place within a few minutes to an hour. The process of eating and digesting food affects the timing and the location of a reaction.

Aaron Ross House Check
Inside Aaron's House
"For the last few years, I've saved my old bikes, thinking I wanted to buy a house one day and display them. At the old house, they were always around, and people hated looking at them," he says.
This is the bike's eye view of Aaron Ross' living room, kitchen and skateboard deck wall. "The blue/yellow Sunday is just one of my older bikes," says Aaron.
Aaron Ross and Bas Keep
Aaron Ross and soon-to-roommate Sebastian Keep relax in Aaron's living room under Aaron's collection of former Sunday Bikes. A recent UK transplant, Bas settled on Texas and Aaron had an extra room.
The Ross Family
When Aaron moved into the new house, he started exploring the ideas of art outside of unique bike color ways. "These two piece of artwork are by me," says Aaron. And that's Aaron with mom, dad and dog.
Bar B Q Sauce
"I have 6 or 8 jars of this sauce in my pantry, and they get used frequently. Any time we cook, it's the go-to sauce. If you're ever in Texas, and you happen to eat meat, you have to go to Rudy's Bar-B-Q," says Aaron.
On Demand
Because both Aaron and Bas Keep are featured on Fuel from time to time, it's easy for them to turn the television on, freeze an image of themselves riding, and then shoot a photo of it. This is Bas riding a ditch in Europe.
Art Studio
A sampling of Aaron's artwork covers his somewhat new art studio. "I've only been doing artwork since I moved into this house. I'm not really good at drawing," he says.
Aaron's friend and former roommate Adam Roye designed these two pieces of artwork. On the left is original artwork for Empire BMX, and on the right is Saved By The Bell influenced artwork from Aaron's first signature frame with FBM.
Aaron Ross and Eric Koston
An assortment of odds and ends from the wall of Aaron Ross, including an X Games Medal from the 2008 Mexico X Games, and a shot of Ross with professional skateboarder Eric Koston at the ESPY's.
etnies Paintings
"I painted one of the shoe print pieces, and my girlfriend did the other one. She used the sole of my signature shoe. I just copied hers cause it was too small on that wall and I needed something else," says Aaron.
Original artwork by Aaron Ross. "I'm in the process of doing one now with Lego people," he adds. In case you were wondering, Aaron is indeed a good human.
An assortment of bikes line Aaron's bedroom wall. "The etnies/Sunday/Odyssey bike has never been ridden, the red one is a project bike I built up, and the rest are just my old bikes. I'm stoked cause I finally stop saving bikes," says Aaron.
Signature Products
Aaron's signature etnies/Odyssey collab shoe sits atop Aaron's signature Odyssey grip, which features a keyboard print in honor of Aaron's texting and Twitter abilities.
NORA Cup
Aaron's 2007 NORA Cup Number one street rider of the year award sits close to Aaron's signature Sunday Funday frame.
Aaron Ross Juice?
Check out the Aaron Ross juice box. "It's actually a peach apple juice, it was really gross. I got it in Brazil. I showed up for the X Games, and I was on the juice carton. I had no idea, so ESPN sent me a box back," says Aaron.
Bronzed Aaron Ross Shoe
"My dad was so stoked that I got a shoe. He actually had it bronzed sitting on the cranks and sprocket, and made one for me, one for Jim Bauer at Odyssey and one for John Povah at etnies as a thank you to them," says Aaron.
Fan Mail
"A bunch of kids sent drawings for bike ideas to my sponsors, and this was one of my favorite pieces of fan mail. It was sent to Odyssey, but it's about me and I stole it cause I thought it was the coolest one," says Aaron.

To catch Timothy MacBain's latest Tomcast audio interview in which Chomsky discusses the recent shredding of the principles of the Magna Carta, click here or download it to your iPod here.
Down the road only a few generations, the millennium of Magna Carta, one of the great events in the establishment of civil and human rights, will arrive. Whether it will be celebrated, mourned, or ignored is not at all clear.
That should be a matter of serious immediate concern. What we do right now, or fail to do, will determine what kind of world will greet that event. It is not an attractive prospect if present tendencies persist — not least, because the Great Charter is being shredded before our eyes.
The first scholarly edition of Magna Carta was published by the eminent jurist William Blackstone. It was not an easy task. There was no good text available. As he wrote, "the body of the charter has been unfortunately gnawn by rats" — a comment that carries grim symbolism today, as we take up the task the rats left unfinished.
Blackstone's edition actually includes two charters. It was entitled The Great Charter and the Charter of the Forest. The first, the Charter of Liberties, is widely recognized to be the foundation of the fundamental rights of the English-speaking peoples — or as Winston Churchill put it more expansively, "the charter of every self-respecting man at any time in any land." Churchill was referring specifically to the reaffirmation of the Charter by Parliament in the Petition of Right, imploring King Charles to recognize that the law is sovereign, not the King. Charles agreed briefly, but soon violated his pledge, setting the stage for the murderous Civil War.
After a bitter conflict between King and Parliament, the power of royalty in the person of Charles II was restored. In defeat, Magna Carta was not forgotten. One of the leaders of Parliament, Henry Vane, was beheaded. On the scaffold, he tried to read a speech denouncing the sentence as a violation of Magna Carta, but was drowned out by trumpets to ensure that such scandalous words would not be heard by the cheering crowds. His major crime had been to draft a petition calling the people "the original of all just power" in civil society — not the King, not even God. That was the position that had been strongly advocated by Roger Williams, the founder of the first free society in what is now the state of Rhode Island. His heretical views influenced Milton and Locke, though Williams went much farther, founding the modern doctrine of separation of church and state, still much contested even in the liberal democracies.
As often is the case, apparent defeat nevertheless carried the struggle for freedom and rights forward. Shortly after Vane's execution, King Charles granted a Royal Charter to the Rhode Island plantations, declaring that "the form of government is Democratical," and furthermore that the government could affirm freedom of conscience for Papists, atheists, Jews, Turks — even Quakers, one of the most feared and brutalized of the many sects that were appearing in those turbulent days. All of this was astonishing in the climate of the times.
