|Cubs | Bill Mueller resigns
Tue, 07 Oct 2014 10:23:41 -0700
Chicago Cubs hitting coach Bill Mueller has resigned from his position with the team, but OF Manny Ramirez isn't expected to take over as the hitting coach, according to a source. The Cubs are close to hiring a replacement for Mueller. Ramirez received positive reviews while coaching Triple-A Iowa, but he's not in consideration to replace Mueller. Ramirez could be in the mix for the assistant hitting coach position, though. The Cubs are waiting for Ramirez to officially retire before commenting on him as a coach.

|Giants | Pablo Sandoval extends hit streak
Sun, 05 Oct 2014 00:12:39 -0700
San Francisco Giants 3B Pablo Sandoval's double in Game 2 of the National League Division Series extended his postseason hitting streak to 13 games. This is four shy of an MLB record shared by Hank Bauer (1956-1958), Derek Jeter (1998-1999) and Manny Ramirez (2003-2004). It would be Sandoval's lone hit in seven at-bats.

|Cubs | Manny Ramirez to serve as player-coach in minors
Sun, 25 May 2014 10:08:41 -0700
The Chicago Cubs have signed free-agent OF Manny Ramirez (Athletics) to serve as a player-coach for Triple-A Iowa. President of baseball operations Theo Epstein announced Ramirez "is not and will not" be on the major league roster but will serve as a mentor to the young hitters in the organization. He will be a full-time coach and play in a part-time role that will not take at-bats away from prospects. "If he shows there is still some magic in his bat, perhaps he will find his way to the major leagues and help another team, but that is not why he is here," Epstein said. "We are thrilled that he wants to work with our young hitters and make a difference."

|MLB | Manny Ramirez continues to work out
Fri, 09 May 2014 11:05:01 -0700
Free-agent OF Manny Ramirez (Athletics) continues to work out in an attempt to keep his career going, and he has looked impressive during recent workouts, according to a major league scout who has seen him. Ramirez is being pushed by former SS Miguel Tejada and looks surprisingly lean while running around. A few teams have scouted Ramirez, but none have made an offer.

Wed, 14 Aug 2013 09:41:22 -0700
Free-agent OF Manny Ramirez (Rangers) told a Spanish-language ESPN radio show that he's not retiring and that he's looking for another opportunity to play, according to ESPN's Hector Cruz.
Fantasy Tip: Some don't know when to hang 'em up. It's unlikely that we see Man-Ram in a major league uni again, even if he gets a chance with another organization.

|Rangers | Manny Ramirez tested for PEDs
Thu, 11 Jul 2013 10:32:55 -0700
Texas Rangers OF/DH Manny Ramirez was subjected to a random drug test while with Triple-A Round Rock, according to a source who indicated that all players not on the 40-man roster were subject to such a test earlier this week. Ramirez has failed tests for performance-enhancing drugs twice before.
General manager Jon Daniels said that, based on accounts received, Ramirez has been a model citizen since the organization signed him to a minor league contract. "The guys say he's been in the cage early and often, and generally has been a good influence." Daniels added that he has no significant expectations and merely believes that the club has nothing to lose by taking a shot on the veteran. "It'll be a few weeks before we know if he'll be able to contribute."
Fantasy Tip: Fantasy owners should take the same approach that Daniels is taking. Don't invest much, here, and be willing to be pleasantly surprised -- in AL-only leagues, anyway.

January 23, 2013 08:23 ET
MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA--(Marketwire - Jan 23, 2013) - Hansen Medical, Inc. (NASDAQ: HNSN), a global leader in intravascular robotics, today announced that its Magellan™ Robotic System was utilized in two successful live endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) cases broadcast at the 25th Annual International Symposium on Endovascular Therapy (ISET), on January 22nd at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach Hotel in Miami, FL. Both live cases were performed by Dr. Barry Katzen, founder and Medical Director of the Baptist Cardiac & Vascular Institute (Baptist Hospital of Miami), and a course director at ISET.
"We are very pleased to have our Magellan System featured in two live cases at this prominent meeting for interventional radiologists, cardiologists and endovascular surgeons," said Bruce Barclay, president and CEO of Hansen Medical. "Live cases such as these, and the two performed by Dr. Katzen as part of the TCT conference last October, help demonstrate the real-world medical utility of our robotic system, and how it can enhance endovascular procedures."
"Today's cases went extremely well," said Dr. Katzen. "They showed that robotic catheters can play a valuable role in vascular procedures, and showed the promise of the technology for future clinical applications."
About the Magellan™ Robotic System
Hansen Medical's Magellan Robotic System is based upon the flexible robotic technology incorporated in the Sensei-X® Robotic Catheter System currently sold in the U.S. and Europe, which has been used in nearly 10,000 patients, but includes a number of key enhancements. In particular, the Magellan Robotic System:
About Hansen Medical, Inc.
Hansen Medical, Inc., based in Mountain View, California, is the global leader in intravascular robotics, developing products and technology designed to enable the accurate positioning, manipulation and control of catheters and catheter-based technologies. The Company's Magellan™ Robotic System, Magellan Robotic Catheter and related accessories, which are intended to facilitate navigation to anatomical targets in the peripheral vasculature and subsequently provide a conduit for manual placement of therapeutic devices, have undergone both CE marking and 510(k) clearance and are commercially available in the European Union, and the U.S. In the European Union, the Company's Sensei® X Robotic Catheter System and Artisan Control Catheter are cleared for use during electrophysiology (EP) procedures, such as guiding catheters in the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF), and the Lynx® Robotic Ablation Catheter is cleared for the treatment of AF. This robotic catheter system is compatible with fluoroscopy, ultrasound, 3D surface map and patient electrocardiogram data. In the U.S. the Company's Sensei X Robotic Catheter System and Artisan Control Catheter were cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for manipulation and control of certain mapping catheters in EP procedures. In the United States, the Sensei System is not approved for use in guiding ablation procedures; this use remains experimental. The U.S. product labeling therefore provides that the safety and effectiveness of the Sensei X System and Artisan Control Catheter for use with cardiac ablation catheters in the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias, including AF, have not been established.

The National Weather Service is warning that black ice is expected to develop later this evening and persist into Wednesday morning, a parting gift from the winter that put Worcester's overall snow total at 107 inches and counting.
The previous record was 104.3 inches in the winter of 1960-1961. The winter of 2012-2013 is now the fifth snowiest winter on record.
This morning's slippery and slushy driving conditions were followed by a spurt of moderate to heavy snow that redeveloped over Central Massachusetts this afternoon, according to the National Weather Service.
The heaviest snow was expected to come to an end from southwest to northeast through the early evening.
Untreated surfaces will be slippery and roads will be messy for rush hour, and with overnight temperatures dropping into the 20s, any standing water will refreeze, the NWS said.
"I don't think we got that much snow the last couple of winters, so we're making up for it," said Chris Anton of Webster, who was in downtown Worcester for an appointment this morning. "But we're New Englanders, so we expect it."
The winter storm warning was lifted by the National Weather Service in Taunton shortly before 6 tonight.
As the storm moves into the Gulf of Maine and Maritimes Wednesday, it will be followed by blustery and colder conditions.
And, wait for it: The Taunton office said in its 6 p.m. advisory Tuesday that "another ocean storm may bring accumulating snow" to southeast Massachusetts and Rhode Island on Thursday, followed by cold, but moderating temperatures this weekend. Furthermore, "another storm will have to watched early next week as it moves off the MidAtlantic cost."
Still, New Englanders such as Ms. Anton go with the seasons. She said she is looking forward to the warmer temperatures of spring.
"I can't wait to start planting herbs and vegetables," Ms. Anton said.
Spring begins with the vernal equinox at 7:02 Wednesday morning in the Northern Hemisphere.
"I'm flying to California," said Mike Dellaquila, when asked what he planned to do on the first day of spring. He was on Main Street in Worcester on business today.
This last-official-day-of-winter storm dumped heavy bursts of snow across the region Monday night into Tuesday. Roads throughout the region were slow-going this morning, blanketed by slush, yet sidewalks were fairly quiet late this morning. Those walking today took it slow, especially around curbs where they had to navigate big puddles of mush and water.
"It's cold," said Liz Cochran of Worcester. "I'm just going to go home. If it's nice tomorrow, I'll take my nephews out. Otherwise, I'm going to stay home with my mom and watch movies."
The storm also delivered yet another day off for many students in Central Massachusetts. School was canceled today in Worcester and other communities across the state, prompting officials to change plans for MCAS tests.
Students in Grades 4, 7 and 10 who were scheduled to take the English language arts composition MCAS test today will have to wait until March 25, because of the storm. The state Department of Elementary and Secondary Education is postponing the composition test for all schools, the state announced Monday. The postponement applies whether a school was open today or not.
The Worcester Regional Transit Authority is on a snow route schedule. More info at www.therta.com.

Hey all,
First of all - this is one of the best games out there today and ever. Thanks for making it. Really, thanks.
I think I found a bug in the game. I found a Taurog shrine, and I only had 3 free tiles around me (place for only 3 items).
I used all 4 boons, and when I got out of the worship menu, I saw 3 items around me in the tiles that allowed item spawning. My 4th item wasn't anywhere to be found, but I did lose piety for purchasing it, and also I now can't buy again or access the 5th boon.
Basically, since items only had 3 tiles to spawn on, my 4th spawned into a limbo or whatever.
I guess I'm not the first to tell you about it, but just in case.

Oftentimes clients call confused as to why they are being charged with an assaultive crime (assault and battery, domestic violence, etc.) when they believed that they were acting in self-defense. The police have to respond to allegations of violence, and where somebody alleges that they were attacked that will generally be sufficient to get a case brought into court. Sometimes one party will be charged (often the case) and other times both will.
Self-defense is one of the most common defenses in criminal law, and where the defense is successfully put forth it negates a crime of violence. Where we can show that our client acted in self-defense, the prosecution then faces a greater burden at trial. The prosecution must then show beyond a reasonable doubt that the assaultive crime occurred and moreover show beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant didn't act in self-defense. The following elements must be shown in order to establish a valid self-defense claim.
1) The defendant must have truthfully believed that the aggressor was going to use physical force against him, her, or a third person. So long as non-lethal force was applied the defendant need not have believed the aggressor was using deadly force.
2) Objectively, the belief of an imminent attack on the defendant must be reasonable. This means that neutrally looking at the defendant's actions his or her belief that force was going to be used was a rational belief.
3) The defendant honestly thought the amount of force used was appropriate.
4) Objectively, somebody would find that the defendant used an appropriate amount of force.
This is a pretty classic objective/subjective test – meaning that it must be shown the defendant thought his or her actions were reasonable and further that they were objectively reasonable. If the above elements are shown, self-defense is established, and the defendant is not guilty of the assault crime. Nonetheless, if prosecution shows the following, a self-defense case will fail.
1) That the belief of force or force used by the defendant was unreasonable.
2) That the defendant was the initial aggressor.
3) There was an agreement by both parties to enter into a fight.
4) If more force than necessary was used by the defendant to subdue the initial aggressor.
The following are factors that our office will evaluate in building a self defense case;
1) The relative size of the aggressor to the victim;
2) If the aggressor has a history of violence;
3) Any military or martial arts training;
4) The presence/threat of a weapon;
5) Whether there were multiple aggressors;
6) Social media activity including taunts/threats;
7) And/or prior threats by the aggressor.
Practically speaking what does this mean? The defendant must not have started the fight, must have honestly thought he or she was about to be attacked, and used only enough force to protect him or herself. Oftentimes people being charged with assault DO have valid self-defense claims. If you are being charged with such a crime you would be wise to contact an attorney to discuss the circumstances of your case and evaluate the merits of a possible self-defense claim.

Human IL6 ELISA Kit (55R-M1916clb)
Pelikase Compact ELISA kit for detection of Human IL6 in the research laboratory
|Interleukin 6 ELISA Kit, IL-6 ELISA Kit
Usage & Assay Information
|Usage Recommendations
|Optimal conditions to be determined by end user
Storage & Safety
|Store at 4 deg C for short term storage. Aliquot and store at -20 deg C for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
General Information
|Biological Significance
|This ELISA kit for the detection of Human IL6 is a sandwich-type of enzyme immunoassay in which a monoclonal antibody has been precoated to polystyrene microtiter wells. The target is bound by the antibody on the microtiter plate. Non-bound material is then removed by washing. Subsequently, a biotinylated antibody is added. This antibody binds to the cytokine-antibody complex present in the microtiter well. Excess biotinylated antibody is removed by washing, followed by addition of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) conjugated streptavidine, which binds onto the biotinylated side of the cytokine sandwich. After removal of non bound HRP conjugate by washing, substrate solution is added to the wells. A coloured product is formed in proportion to the amount of cytokine present in the sample or standard. After the reaction has been terminated by the addition of a stop solution, absorbance is measured in a microtiter plate reader. From the absorbance of samples and those of a standard curve, the concentration of cytokine can be determined by interpolation with the standard curve.

Piano Instructor Claims Copyright On Writing Letters On Piano Keys
from the expression-of-a-bad-idea dept
Serving as an example, we have Shawn Cheek, YouTube piano teacher, who has claimed copyright on a teaching method consisting of writing out the letters for notes on their associated piano keys. Beyond just his laughably annoying claim, he's apparently been going on the offensive against other YouTube piano teachers.
He has apparently convinced Mark de Heide, the 23-year-old creator of PGN Piano lessons, to take down all of his videos that display the letters of notes above the keyboard (e.g. a visual display of "C, D, E, C," for frere jacques). Mark took the bait, and stated in a video he's removed all of his YouTube lesson videos that contain the fundamental piano practice technique. He also worried about YouTube taking action over the lessons he recording [sic] teaching pop hits.It's bad enough when legitimate copyrights are used to hinder broad instructional methods and information, but when the claim is blatantly one that cannot be copyrighted, it's down right infuriating. Cheek is reported to have a series of DVDs using this "innovative," write-stuff-on-the-keys method -- and those DVDs, i.e. the actual expression, certainly can be copyrighted, but the teaching method is an idea. It can't be copyrighted. Yet now, thanks to the aggressive ownership culture that has resulted from a reaching and complex copyright law, all of de Heide's videos have been removed. He isn't even challenging their removal. Why? Well, because he doesn't really know how copyright works either, but he does know that he's afraid of the legal repercussions that might result. Those videos, by the way, had millions of views and were quite popular. It's very likely that de Heide was making his living in part from those videos.
The only encouraging part of this story is the YouTube comments to de Heide, in which commenters actually displayed a decent knowledge of the idea/expression dichotomy. For instance, one user stated:
"What Shawn has protected is the recordings of his performance (in other words the recordings of Shawn instructing people how to play songs in his DVDS and etc.). You would infringe his copyright by making, copying, uploading, distributing, or many [sic] available copies of his recordings to the public without his permission. I recommend you discuss the following discussion points with your lawyer."If the ultimate result of aggressive and misused intellectual property laws is a better informed public that not only knows the law, but also can recognize its intrinsic abuses, then so much the better. Until that pivotal point is reached, however, we'll have to hear about piano teachers not being able to write letters on keys.

BINS in Witton Wood are overflowing with rubbish, and dog walkers say that they haven't been emptied for more than two weeks.
Residents said they have been complaining to Blackburn with Darwen council about the state of litter in the wood over a number of months after becoming concerned that the bins were not emptied twice weekly as the council promised.
It was noted by dog walkers that the litter inside bins at the bottom of the wood had not been collected for sixteen days. One Livesey resident said: "It's just disgusting, isn't it?
"The council really need to do something about it. They should be emptying the bins regularly so that rubbish isn't floating around the park and the woods.
"People have been complaining about this for a long time and nothing seems to get done and it's a real shame.
"It's a lovely area for families and young people but I wouldn't be happy for my five-year-old niece to play around here."
Alan Cottam, ward councillor for Livesey and Pleasington said: "This problem has been reported to me and I had hoped that something would be done about it by now.
"I realise they will have lost a few days with the bank holiday and there was a big food event last weekend that has probably caused more rubbish, but the council knew that was happening and something should have been put in place.
"If people are throwing litter on the floor, that's a different animal and we have to tackle that too."
No-one from the council was available to confirm when the bins in Witton Wood were last emptied but a spokesman did confirm that rubbish was scheduled to be collected every Monday and Friday.
Tony Watson, head of Environment and Public Protection, said: "The emptying of the bins in Witton Park was affected by the Bank Holiday weekend, and normal collection of litter will take place this week. We aim to empty the bins in Witton Park twice weekly. "

BLOOMINGTON, Ill. — The ex-president of Illinois State University is facing a misdemeanor disorderly conduct charge for an altercation with another former employee.
The McLean County State's Attorney's office says Timothy Flanagan was charged Tuesday, days after he resigned his post at the Normal school.
Flanagan resigned Saturday following an investigation after a former grounds crew employee accused him of assault during an argument about the care of the president's lawn.
In a statement, prosecutors say he "yelled insults at the employee and continued to do so even while inches away from his face and flailing his arms around in a manner which alarmed and disturbed (the man)."
Flanagan has previously denied any wrongdoing. The Associated Press left a message with his attorney.
Flanagan is set to appear in court April 23.

Our wilderness is under an unprecedented attack from Trump and anti-conservationists in Congress. Help us fight back.
Wildfires are growing larger and more destructive than ever before. Unfortunately, this pressing issue is frequently misunderstood.
President Trump and Congress are working together to roll back environmental protections and dismantle smart energy policies that benefit all Americans so that oil, gas and coal executives can continue to profit.
Cutting through one of the most celebrated hiking trails in America, the proposed Mountain Valley Pipeline threatens wildlife habitat, recreational lands and the health of local Appalachia communities, while setting a terrible precedent of building energy infrastructure through our national forests.
If you are like most Americans, the word "rainforest" probably conjures up images of the Congo or Amazon—teeming jungles far from home.
The Forest Reserve Act of 1891 was signed into law by President Benjamin Harrison after two decades of debate about public land policy and concern about exploitative logging, putting in pla
Climate change is devastating wild lands and the wildlife that thrives inside them, according to findings of a government study.
Legislation being considered in the U.S. Senate would undermine important environmental laws and increase unsustainable logging in our national forests--unless you speak out against it.
The report, released on Aug. 5, indicates a serious tipping point for the agency with half of the Forest Service Budget usurped by wildfire costs.
Show the Trump administration Americans don't support plans to destroy this epic wildland.

Because the news about Andrew Bynum has been discouraging for so long, reporters, when given the chance to question the 76ers' big man, tend to expect him to give answers that are more negative than positive about his knees.
I'm guilty of that myself.
Recently, though, when he has spoken unfiltered, Bynum has been indicating that he clearly feels he's making significant progress in his efforts to get on the court.
After working up a sweat with associate coach Michael Curry and head athletic trainer Kevin Johnson – Bynum was shooting jumpers along the baseline, out on the perimeter and attempting some shots with minimal jumping - he said that he now thinks it possible that he'll join the team by the all-star break.
"I have no idea exactly, I just want to get back," Bynum said Monday. "I think, I'm hoping around the all-star break. That's what I'm hoping. I have no idea exactly when I'll be back."
The all-star break begins Feb. 14 and ends Feb 20. The team has 31 regular season games to play after the break.
Asked if the pain in his knees was 'tolerable,' Bynum gave another encouraging answer.
"It's minimal," Bynum said. "It's not hurting."
So we know that as of this date, with him yet to run on the court, Bynum's once painful knees are totally pain-free.
Bynum, who has been jogging on the team's treadmills and anti-gravity machine, said Monday represented the first time he had actually run.
"I went as fast as 8-miles-per-hour," he said.
He's not doing any straight-line running just yet, but Bynum hinted that this was coming soon. Running up and down the court will be the biggest test for Bynum, who appears ready to soon graduate from the treadmill and the other machinery he's been using. When he does start running – who knows, this could come before the end of the month – the expectations for his return to the court will only be heightened.
He says his weight is in the 300-pound range. However, his weight is not in his midsection. Bynum has no gut and his swelling arms and chest indicate that he is taking the weight lifting seriously.

I have done some research to see what foods you can eat to raise your metabolism and some of them are hot peppers, whole grain oarmeal and
rice, broccoli,apples and pears,spices such as garlic,cayenne, and cinnamon, citrus fruits (grapefruit or oranges), leafy greens (collards-they are high in calcium),natural nuts, and water. You are suppose to drink half of your body weight in ozs of water.

Eating small meals every 3 hours also gets your thyroid to work much more efficiently boosting your metabolism. So it isn't just what you eat its also how often you eat. There are more foods to go on that list. It isn't complete.
Many say the general rule is to drink half your body weight ( lbs) in ounces of water spread out through the day. On hot days or high levels of physical activity you may need more. The cells in your body can only hold so much water. When you drink water while all your cells are full you'll pee it out real fast. Too much water can be harmful, but it takes a very large amount to harm adults. To much water in infants is extremely dangerous.

I know that there are more foods to add to the list, these are some that stood out with me. Water should not scare you, Skitch. Water is good for you as long as you drink the amount for you.

Don't count on eating foods that will raise your metabolism as a big part of your plan. It's still the calories you consume vs those you use that make the difference in whether you gain or lose.

No foods or meal frequency are proven to affect you metabolism. Common myth.

there are no foods or magic pills to raise metabolism except for substances such as caffeine that might have ugly side effects and will never have any huge impact on the long term results. A common misconception is linked to the thermal effect of food ie some foods require more calories to be digested and therefore the net calories absorbed are lower.
This is in part true, but I would advice to avoid looking for shortcuts, that is only going to sabotage the efforts in the end. The only strategy that work is to consume less calories than you burn, all the diets out there provide plans to do just that.
Just pick whatever approach is easier to follow for you long term (ie for life) and ignore the tons of BS that the dieting industry throw at you every second. Most of all avoid supllements, pills and gurus

The funny thing is, that now experts are saying that actually eating LESS often raises your metabolism. Just google intermittent fasting or search for videos on youtube. Supposedly after, I believe a minimum of 12-14 hours, metabolism is increased and growth hormone is elevated to preserve muscle mass. So which is it? More meals or fasting? Fasting is the only one with scientific backing.
If you think about it, our ancestors did not have food always readily available. They went through long periods with no food, then when they finally killed their prey, they feasted. IF uses the same concept.

well you could see both ways, if you buy the ancestor's stories, it might also make sense that after fasting the body should try to accumulate as much fat during the feast as possible in view of future lack of food. Personally I still have to read convincing evidence of all these theories. There are a lot of logic arguments to be made either way ...

Yeah, the calories would be stored for energy(fat and glucose) and repairing of muscle tissue. That would hardly make a caveman fat. If anything, he would simply gain the weight back that he lost over the week+ long fast. I believe I've read that at most the body could make use of 15-17000 calories. So, 4-5 lbs. That could easily be burned and then some between the feast and the next meal.
Also, I've been doing this since January, if waiting to eat large meals made you gain weight, I wouldn't have lost 42 lbs.

We need to consume protein every day to maintain our bodies. Calories stored as fat cannot repair muscle tissue. Only protein intake can repair and rebuild muscle. Stored fat serves as energy, but cannot rebuild muscle, because it lacks the necessary amino acid components.
Every day you consume no protein is a day you have lost lean body mass.

eKatherine, do you have a link proving your last comment? Also who said anything about avoiding protein? I'm pretty sure a deer or any other animal meat has a ton.
"Efficient adaptation to famine was important for survival during rough times in our evolution. Lowering metabolic rate during starvation allowed us to live longer, increasing the possibility that we might come across something to eat. Starvation literally means starvation. It doesn't mean skipping a meal not eating for 24 hours. Or not eating for three days even. The belief that meal skipping or short-term fasting causes "starvation mode" is so completely ridiculous and absurd that it makes me want to jump out the window.
Looking at the numerous studies I've read, the earliest evidence for lowered metabolic rate in response to fasting occurred after 60 hours (-8% in resting metabolic rate). Other studies show metabolic rate is not impacted until 72-96 hours have passed (George Cahill has contributed a lot on this topic).
Seemingly paradoxical, metabolic rate is actually increased in short-term fasting. For some concrete numbers, studies have shown an increase of 3.6% - 10% after 36-48 hours (Mansell PI, et al, and Zauner C, et al). This makes sense from an evolutionary perspective. Epinephrine and norepinephrine (adrenaline/noradrenaline) sharpens the mind and makes us want to move around. Desirable traits that encouraged us to seek for food, or for the hunter to kill his prey, increasing survival. At some point, after several days of no eating, this benefit would confer no benefit to survival and probably would have done more harm than good; instead, an adaptation that favored conservation of energy turned out to be advantageous. Thus metabolic rate is increased in short-term fasting (up to 60 hours).
Again, I have choosen extreme examples to show how absurd the myth of "starvation mode" is - especially when you consider that the exact opposite is true in the context of how the term is thrown around."

Oops, this is the quote that is more relevant from the same lean gains article.
"6. Myth: Fasting causes muscle loss.
This myth hinges on people's belief it's important to have a steady stream of amino acids available to not lose muscle. As I explained earlier, protein is absorbed at a very slow rate. After a large high-protein meal, amino acids trickle into your blood stream for several hours.
No studies have looked at this in a context that is relevant to most of us. For example, by examining amino acid appearance in the blood and tissue utilization of amino acids after a large steak, veggies and followed up with some cottage cheese with berries for dessert. That's easily 100 grams of protein and a typical meal for those that follow the Leangains approach. We are left to draw our own conclusions based on what we know; that a modest amount of casein, consumed as a liquid on an empty stomach is still releasing amino acids after 7 hours. With this in mind it's no stretch to assume that 100 grams of protein as part of a mixed meal at the end of the day would still be releasing aminos for 16-24 hours.
Few studies has examined the effects of regular fasting on muscle retention and compared it to a control diet. None of them are relevant to how most people fast and some are marred by flaws in study design and methodology. Like this study which showed increased muscle gain and fat loss, with no weight training or change in calorie intake, just by changing meal frequency. While I would love to cite that study as proof for the benefits of intermittent fasting, body composition was measured by BIA, which is notoriously imprecise.
Only in prolonged fasting does protein catabolism become an issue. This happens when stored liver glycogen becomes depleted. In order to maintain blood glucose, conversion of amino acids into glucose must occur (DNG: de novo glucogenesis). This happens gradually and if amino acids are not available from food, protein must be taken from bodily stores such as muscle. Cahill looked at the contribution of amino acids to DNG after a 100 gram glucose load. He found that amino acids from muscle contributed 50% to glucose maintenance after 16 hours and almost 100% after 28 hours (when stored liver glycogen was fully depleted). Obviously, for someone who eats a high protein meal before fasting, this is a moot point as you will have plenty of aminos available from food during the fast."

First you will find tons of info supporting both eKatherine and Diablos sides of the argument. Trust me there are people of here that will preach tillyour ears bleed! Just to show my point here's just the first thing that came up when I did a search:
"If you are having success on a low-protein diet plan, be aware that you may actually be losing pounds from body systems that can ill afford to lose mass. This is the warning message of a recent study completed by Dr. George Bray of Louisiana State University and published in The Journal of American Medicine. He found that while this type of diet is an effective weight loss tool, it comes at the cost of lean body mass, according to a report by The New York Times.
What Is Lean Body Mass?
Lean body mass, simply put, is everything in your body that is not fat. Builtlean.com defines this as including organs, blood, bones, skin, and muscles. When you lose weight from your lean body mass as the result of a low-protein diet, some of that weight comes from your muscles. This causes the muscles to become weaker and function less effectively. A serious lack of protein contributes to muscle wasting and diseases of malnutrition.
The Results of the Study
Dr. Bray hospitalized 25 volunteers, feeding them a weight-stabilizing diet for about three weeks. They were then put into three groups and fed either a low-protein (5% of caloric intake), medium-protein (15% of caloric intake), or high-protein diet (25% of caloric intake). The goal was to cause weight gain in the volunteers, and they were therefore fed 40% more calories than they had been during the weight-stabilizing part of the study. As expected, all the groups gained weight. The low-protein diet group gained the least amount, which may sound promising. However, it was also the only group that actually lost from their lean body mass while gaining fat mass. Simply put, this volunteer group lost muscle while gaining fat."
And I could find something just as fast to support Diablo's point but as I said...
Katrina - all I will say is remember we are individuals and no research is an absolute for everyone. Whenever I have bought into a linear way of thinking (as in this diet or that) I would gain weight, stall and hit a wall, something. I have found that I needed to take a bit of this and that and found what worked for me. For example I am hypoglycemic. Fasting or even IF is NOT an option for me. When I tried it I wasn't thinking and it did a such a job on me that I ended up in the ER. All I am saying is listen to your body, not your mind or psych but your body. I know it sounds silly but it works. Personally I have found that Higher protein (but no where near Adtkins) and clean food without the refined carbs works for me. Eating 5-6 times a day regulates my blood sugar and keeps the hunger pains at bay. My sister who is NOT hypoglycemia has found it works for her too. Experiment, log log log and use this site to it's fullest. Listen to yourself more than "science" and you will have success that you are able to maintain. Good luck

I like the basic approach of building lean muscle tissue through weight resistance and cardio and spreading out meals throughout the day. Keeps me satiated and looking gooooood! Keep it simple.
Stay the course, stay on point, stay motivated, dedicated, and you won't be stopped. Discipline. Perseverance. Focus. Dig deep and you will be victorious.

Peavey Classic Amps Fit for a Queen
Peavey at the Jubilee
As we know, the Queen celebrated 60 years on the throne just over a week ago. The Diamond Jubilee featured performances from some of the biggest names in the music industry, including Elton John, Stevie Wonder and Sir Paul McCartney, who all gathered outside Buckingham Palace to play for the huge crowds that lined the area.
Peavey player Milton McDonald, who was the main guitarist for the Jubilee house band speaks about the equipment used and shares his thoughts on the Peavey Classic Series amplifiers.
McDonald claims that his amp of choice has always been a Peavey Classic 50 410 combo, and due to its flexibility and versatility, guitar technician Steve Prior (who is also a Peavey fan) requested four of them for the Jubilee performances, along with some Classic 50 212s, for the six guest guitarists.
"A couple of the guests weren't keen on an amp with a 10-inch speaker, which is why we got the 212s in as well; I also brought my own Peavey Delta Blues, which is a great amp. Mike Stevens, the MD, used that in the end, and everyone wanted to use it when they heard him play through it, it really did sound amazing." - Prior
On the day, the amps were set up underneath the stage, out of sight, but as you can imagine, something had to be done about the Queen Victoria Memorial's marble floor. The crew used blankets to provide a softened base for the amps to sit on, and a carpeted box was even built to keep the amps isolated and to prevent any undesirable audio effects being generated.
"Any valve amp needs to be driven hard, and the Classic 50 comes in a fantastic format as it's a dual-channel amp, which means you can really control it sonically; you can balance things up, even with six different guitarists. Aside from Milton, I had the guitarists for Cliff Richard, Tom Jones and Annie Lennox all plugged into the 410s or 212s. They provide a nice big clean sound as well as a fantastic crunchier 'core' sound if you plug into the lead channel rather than the normal one, very versatile indeed."
Prior shares that another advantage in using the Classic 50s is its EQ, which he says works "absolutely beautifully"... something he rarely says about a combo amplifier.
"Some EQ sections on amps don't do much at all and you need to boost the mids, but with these Peavey amps, you have all the top end you could wish for. Once it's stable, it's an extremely serviceable and durable amp."
"I have absolutely no criticisms whatsoever," he concludes. "I have my own hire business and work with loads of amps, so I know what's good and what's not; going back 30 years, my first amp was a Peavey Bandit 212, and that held its own against anything. After this show, I am now on the lookout for a 410 and 212 myself, and I am certainly an ambassador for the Peavey cause; I'll encourage anyone to use one."

Depending on Google Chrome's Implementation Details
A recurring problem for the Chrome ecosystem is third party programs that rely on private implementation details of Chrome to operate. Because Chrome is always updating, unsupported dependencies on how Chrome operates have a very high risk of failure. Activities like reading and writing the preferences file directly[1], locking the Chrome preferences directory[2], injecting DLLs into Chrome[3] and relying on assumptions about Chrome's window management[4] can all be problematic when Chrome updates.
Issues have arisen with toolbars, PC cleaners, so-called 'browser managers' and many other third party programs ranging from innocuous and well intentioned to likely malicious - all of them causing problems for users by assuming that Chrome's implementation is static and dependencies can be safely introduced. Such assumptions are one of the leading causes of Chrome crashes[3], profile and IndexDB/LevelDB corruption[5] and broken Chrome UI[6]. Sometimes they even prevent Chrome from successfully installing in the first place[2].
The best and most reliable way to help your users make changes to Chrome is by showing them how to make those changes within Chrome's UI. If your native app relies on Chrome's internal implementation details, you should expect it to break on a regular basis.
Programmatic changing of Chrome Settings on Chrome
Since one common source of instability and unwelcome loss of user control is third party programs from Windows programs attempting to offer changes to common search related settings such as homepage and default search engine we have built an extension based Settings API for Windows. Using the API will ensure that the offer works correctly and also that users have given consent and control over the changes to their critical browser settings. Where available, the API is the only approved path for making changes to those settings in Chrome.
Google Chrome's DLL Blacklisting Policy
Some DLLs are known to cause stability issues when loaded into Chrome. This outlines how a DLL is blacklisted, as well as what steps can be taken to remove a DLL from the blacklist.
Getting Blacklisted
Once a DLL has been determined to cause a noticeable decrease in Google Chrome's stability, that DLL will be added to this list of troublesome DLLs for sandboxed processes or this list of troublesome DLLs for the browser process, which Chrome prevents from being injected into the corresponding process.
Once a DLL has been selected, an effort will be made to find the developer of the DLL. If the developers are found, they can receive some debugging information to assist them in fixing the problem. Additionally, an announcement about our intention to blacklist the DLL will be sent to email@example.com.
If a DLL is causing serious stability issues, it will be added to the blacklist right away.
If the DLL doesn't need to be blacklisted right away, the developer will have at least 3 business days to respond to the issue. If there is no response from the company, the DLL will be added to the blacklist.
If the company responds, they will then have an additional week to fix the troublesome DLL. If the DLL is still causing a noticeable decrease in Chrome stability, it can be blacklisted.
If at any point during this process the DLL starts causing serious stability issue, it may be immediately blacklisted.
Note For Chromium Developers:
If you are blacklisting or wanted to blacklist a dll, you are responsible for following the instructions above (trying to find and contact the developer at first, and then alerting firstname.lastname@example.com when the dll is actually blocked).
Note For Google Developers:
If you have a dll that you think should be blacklisted, the internal page go/modulestabilityreport can help you determine the stability of the dll and if it should be blacklisted.
Getting Removed from the DLL Blacklist
If your DLL has been blacklisted and the issue has been fixed, you may request to be removed from the blacklist by contacting email@example.com. If the DLL still causes stability issues, it will be blocked again.

A trip to Iowa might not be high on many's list of summer activities, but it is for Jeanie Buss.
Buss, along with former Lakers forward Tommy Hawkins, will attend a ceremony this weekend in Carroll, Iowa, where they will dedicate a basketball court 50 years after the team's emergency plane landing in that city. The Lakers donated $25,000 for the construction of hthe court, which is located near the spot where a plane carrying the team touched down Jan. 18, 1960.
The plane was bringing the Lakers, then based in Minneapolis, home from a game in St. Louis during a snowstorm and the lights and the radio reportedly went out soon after takeoff. The pilots were forced to land in a cornfield in Carroll.

Sefko: Cowboys shouldn't pass on this 'monster athlete' from their own backyard in the NFL Draft
Catch SportsDay On Air twice per week on Fox Sports Southwest, when Dallas Morning News experts discuss hot sports topics from the Cowboys, Mavericks, Stars, Rangers and colleges (check our TV listings for air times). Here are a few highlights from Monday's episode featuring Eddie Sefko and David Moore:
On whom the Cowboys should draft with the No. 18 pick:
Sefko: "I don't think you have to go any further than your backyard. The worst thing you can do is for any team is to not cover your rail in your backyard. Margus Hunt from SMU is 6-8 and a monster athlete. His talents are going to translate so perfect to the NFL. Somebody is going to get a great find there. I'm not saying take him with the No. 18 pick. He'll be there far later than that. But mark my words."
Moore: "Clearly, you look at their needs the offensive line especially the interior of the offensive line and the defensive line are two areas they need most to address. They're lucky from the standpoint that the draft is deep in both of these areas. I know you hear Chance Warmack's name out there, the Alabama guard. I would be shocked if he is there when they pick at No. 18. I think they look at someone like Jonathan Cooper out of North Carolina, he's a very good player. Depending on what happens with Doug Free, I wouldn't necessarily rule out a tackle there either. If they decide to release Free, Lane Johnson of Oklahoma is someone in that range to consider. The defensive tackles in that range to consider are Johnathan Hankins of Ohio State, Sharrif Floyd from Florida, a John Jenkins even from Georgia. Those are names early to keep in mind."

Brief SummaryRead full entry
The Holothuroidea, or sea cucumbers, are an abundant and diverse group of worm-like and usually soft-bodied echinoderms. They are found in nearly every marine environment, but are most diverse on tropical shallow-water coral reefs. They range from the intertidal, where they may be exposed briefly at low tide, to the floor of the deepest oceanic trenches. The oldest undoubted fossils of sea cucumbers are of isolated spicules from the Silurian (ca. 400 million years ago; Gilliland, 1993). Considerable diversification has occurred since then with about 1400 living species in a variety of forms. Some of these are about 20 cm in length, though adults of some diminutive species may not exceed a centimeter, while one large species can reach lengths of 5 m (Synapta maculata). Several species can swim and there are even forms that live their entire lives as plankton, floating with the ocean currents.
Economically, sea cucumbers are important in two main ways. First, some species produce toxins that are of interest to pharmaceutical firms seeking to learn their medical value. Some compounds isolated to date exhibit antimicrobial activity or act as anti-inflammatory agents and anticoagulants. Second, as a gourmet food item in the orient, they form the basis of a multimillion-dollar industry that processes the body wall for sale as beche-de-mer or trepang. However, the high value of some species, the ease with which such shallow-water forms can be collected and their top-heavy age structures all contribute to over-exploitation and collapse of the fisheries in some regions. Fishermen in the Pacific islands use the toxins, some of which act as respiratory inhibitors, to entice fish and octopus from crevices so that they may be more easily speared. Furthermore, the sticky Cuvierian tubules (see description below) are placed over bleeding wounds as a bandage.

Scholarship Search Engines
KHEAA – Kentucky Specific Scholarships
Scholarship Books
The Ultimate Scholarship Guide by Gen and Kelly Tanabe
Scholarship Handbook by The College Board
Avoid Scholarship Scams
Unscrupulous businesses use lines such as those below to hook unwary students and their parents:
1: "We do all the work." A company may be able to help you locate scholarships, but nobody can apply for those awards but you.
2: "The scholarship will cost money." By definition, scholarships are "free money." You shouldn't have to pay to apply for them.
3: "You can't get this information anywhere else." Legitimate organizations that give out scholarships want the whole world to know about their award, so they won't keep it quiet or limit the information to a select few potential recipients.
4: "Results guaranteed or your money back." Money-back guarantees are not to be trusted. Guarantees can be worded so you never get your money back.
5: "You've been selected to receive this scholarship." or you are a finalist for a scholarship that you never applied for. Check with your colleges financial aid office and your school counselor to make sure the scholarship exists and is legitimate.
6: "I need your credit card and checking account number to hold this scholarship." Legitimate scholarships cannot be held for anyone. Don't give your financial information over the telephone unless you have contacted the organization yourself. Get the information in writing first. If you give a company your financial information, they may make a withdrawal from your account without your permission.

NHIAA bylaw halts underclassmen all-star game; may be rescheduled for summer
By JOHN HABIB
New Hampshire Union Leader
Had it not been for a story in the New Hampshire Union Leader sports section on Tuesday, NHIAA Executive Director Pat Corbin said he may have had a serious matter on his hands involving 48 underclassmen basketball players.
"I started reading about 48 of the best basketball players competing in an all-star game and when I saw it involved underclassmen, I quickly put a stop to it," said Corbin. "This could have been a real mess."
He was talking about the NH Chips All-Star Underclassmen Showcase for girls and boys.
The event was scheduled for Friday at the Goldie Crocker Wellness Center at the New Hampshire Technical Institute in Concord.
That event is now cancelled because, as Corbin put it, "it's illegal. It's a direct violation of our rule."
Section 10 of the NHIAA bylaws, regarding eligibility, states, "The NHIAA does neither sanction nor endorse any All-Star team or competition (during the school year) in any sport at any level. A student athlete who is a member of an NHIAA school team may not participate in an All-Star game/event, in season or out, without losing eligibility in that sport for one full year (365 days) from the date of such participation with the All-Star team.
"Following completion of high school eligibility in a sport and prior to graduation from high school, a senior student athlete may participate in an All-Star competition." Thus, the Senior Showcase, featuring top seniors, is still on for Saturday at NHTI. Girls' games will be played at 1 p.m. and 2:30 p.m., followed by boys' games at 5:45 p.m. and 7:15 p.m.
Corbin explained the bylaw is not just a New Hampshire rule.
"It's virtually the rule in every state in the country," he said. "If I didn't read the article or heard about it (all-star showcase) from someone, I would have hated to declare 48 of the top underclassmen basketball players ineligible for the next 365 days."
Corbin said he contacted all-star showcase organizer Paul Hogan, who is the men's basketball coach, athletic director, and a professor in the sports management program at NHTI.
"Paul was absolutely cooperative in this matter," said Corbin. "From the get-go, he said he didn't want to jeopardize any of the players' eligibility. I've set a meeting with him next week to go over the rules and regulations."
Corbin said if Hogan wishes to hold the all-star games during the summer, when school is on vacation, he is permitted to do it.
"I'm planning to meet with Pat on Monday because I still want to hold this showcase in the summer," said Hogan. "I will throw some dates at Pat and make sure we're doing this the right way in line with the NHIAA. It will be a coordinated effort."

You've probably never seen a "Sleeping Beauty" like this one.
"Anvita" is an adaptation of the fairy tale in Indian classical dance. Choreographed by six local dance instructors and featuring a cast of 60 senior students, the show will take place Saturday and Sunday at the Miniaci Performing Arts Center on the Nova Southeastern University campus in Davie.
"This is the second year we've done this," says Smeeta Patel, chair of the educational and cultural programs for South Florida Hindu Temple, which is a co-sponsor (along with the Ekal Vidyalaya Foundation). "Last year, it was only one night … and we totally sold out. This year, we have more money. The Indian music is phenomenal. There are custom-made [in India] costumes for this production."
The extra money came from an increased grant from the Knight Foundation, awarded to Davie's Ranjana Warier and her Rhythms School of Dance to "create cross-cultural understanding using Indian classical dancing." Warier collaborated with five other Indian classical dance schools in South Florida to create original choreography.
"It's very different to use 'Sleeping Beauty,' a fairy tale," Warier says. "It's not traditional at all to dance to a theme like that. Indian classical dance is very technical, with lots of rules. It's very difficult to indulge people unless they have a really strong background in it. Usually, we lose them 10 minutes into it. We thought if it were a story that a lot of people already knew that we would attract a larger audience. [Indian classical dance] is really entertaining if you understand what is going on. But for most people, it is pretty obscure."
Warier explains that she also found the famous folktale — via Charles Perrault and the Brothers Grimm — for the range of expression the choreographers and dancers could bring to it.
"There are mainly two features to Indian classical dance," she says. "One is pure dance, the footwork and rhythm. The second part is expression, facial and body expression. The story gives a lot of range for me to expand upon."
The other choreographers are Neha Shah with the Nrutyanjali School of Dance; Harija Sivakumar with the Vanee School of Dance; Aparna Matange with the Nritya Surabhi School of Dance; Priya Nagaraj with the Narthana Dance Academy; and Anandi Srinivasa with the Navarasa Dance Academy.
"We all get along very well," Warier says. "Each school has a totally different style, and somehow we blend."

Imagine returning to the natural cycle, giving yourself back to the earth as generations have for thousands of years. At Foxfield Preserve, we provide natural burials – also known as 'green burials' – in harmony with nature.
Foxfield Preserve is a nonprofit cemetery operated by The Wilderness Center, a nonprofit nature center and land conservancy. We were the first nature preserve cemetery in Ohio, and the first in the nation operated by a conservation organization.
At Foxfield Preserve, your loved ones will walk beautiful nature trails as they visit a final resting place in a nature preserve. A conservation burial ground is a place where nature dominates. Functioning as a nature preserve first, we also offer a beautiful final resting place. Instead of a lawn, the land is maintained as forest and prairie. Nature trails provide access to the site, and naturalists are restoring the land to a more natural condition by planting native prairie meadows and reforesting hillsides.
Foxfield Preserve offers an environmental alternative to a modern burial. It allows you to be part of a natural cycle. Your final act will conserve nature, expand wildlife habitat, provide clean air and a cleaner watershed, and establish walking trails.
Your burial at Foxfield Preserve also supports the mission of The Wilderness Center to connect our community with nature, educate people of all ages, and conserve natural resources.
