CLEVELAND -- Outside of Cleveland, Casey Fien has been unstoppable.
Pitching at Progressive Field is a different story for the righty.View Full Game Coverage
Fien hadn't given up a run since April 4, when the Indians tagged him for three runs, and Wednesday night, Cleveland got a 4-3 walk-off win over Fien and the Twins.
Minnesota's ninth inning unraveled painfully.
Asdrubal Cabrera led off the ninth with a double to deep left that was just out of Eduardo Escobar's reach.
The versatile Escobar, making his second appearance in left field for the Twins and his first start there, had a chance to get a glove on Cabrera's hit, but he pulled up just short, missing the catch by a half a step.
"He just didn't get to it, I'm sure he shied away from the wall," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "He's not been out there a lot, it was going toward the wall over his head. He got to the warning track and felt he was a little too close, probably."
Escobar agreed with his skipper's assessment.
"I felt like I was pretty close [to the wall], that's why I jumped," Escobar said through a translator.
The Indians hit three other balls to Escobar, and he caught all of them.
"One ball I needed to catch, I wasn't able to," Escobar said.
Fien (3-1) went right back to work, but when Lonnie Chisenhall laid down a sacrifice bunt, the righty found himself with the winning run 90 feet from home and one out.
With two right-handed hitters in Yan Gomes and Mike Aviles coming to the plate, Gardenhire knew Fien was in his element.
Fien, who didn't speak to the media after the game, seemed to retake control, getting Gomes to ground out to shortstop on the first pitch.
That brought Aviles to the plate.
Aviles sent a 1-1 fastball into shallow center, sending Minnesota to its second straight loss.
The result was disappointing, but Gardenhire will take the matchup every time.
"Casey's pretty good," Gardenhire said. "Righties don't hit much off him. He's been really tough in all situations. He made a nice pitch on Gomes, and I gave him a chance to get Aviles out.
"Casey's gotten a lot of righties out, and done pretty well, so it's his ballgame there. He just got a pitch up, made a bad pitch."
Aviles had hits in two of his previous bats, but initially, the moment felt too big for him.
"My first swing, I was trying to hit one about 800 feet, which was kind of dumb," Aviles said. "That's just not something I can do. In that situation, after I took a swing like that, I told myself, 'Hey, let's just calm down. All you need is a base hit. A bloop will work.'
"So I just pretty much said 'Calm down, go mentally into a two-strike approach, let's stay up the middle, see what happens.' Fortunately enough, I got a pitch I could hit up the middle."
Indians closer John Axford (1-3) threw a scoreless inning for the win.
Twins starter Ricky Nolasco didn't figure into the decision.
Nolasco went six innings, allowing three runs on one walk and six hits. Nolasco struck out a season-high nine batters.
"I felt pretty good, had some good breaking stuff going," Nolasco said.
Brian Dozier put the Twins up in the second with an RBI single, but an inning later, Nolasco loaded the bases with two outs and gave up a two-run double to Michael Brantley.
For the most part, Minnesota's offense arrived too late to do anything more than get Nolasco off the hook.
Minnesota stranded runners in scoring position in the third and fourth, and that's how it looked like things would stay until Josmil Pinto got to Indians starter Danny Salazar.
Pinto singled to right field, and Escobar doubled to left-center, chasing Salazar. Gardenhire sent Danny Santana to the plate to pinch-hit for Pedro Florimon, and the young shortstop hit a laser right by Bryan Shaw's head into center field, scoring Pinto.
Dozier knotted the game with a sacrifice fly, and the Twins couldn't do anything more in the seventh.
The Twins threatened again in the ninth, after Santana doubled off Axford and Dozier drew a walk.
Axford, who had allowed runs in his previous two appearances, including the game-winning home run Monday to Escobar, got Sam Fuld to fly out to Carlos Santana, turning away the Twins.

When David Baas thinks about the Redskins it doesn't conjure particularly good memories. After signing a free agent contract with the Giants after six seasons with the 49ers, Baas looked forward to making a solid impression in the 2011 season opener.
But the Redskins came away with a 28-14 victory in a game Baas said wasn't his best.
"There's no excuses, but I personally felt I didn't do a good enough job, especially for my first game with this team," he said Friday. Baas didn't get a chance to redeem himself, missing the second game against the Redskins because of an injury.
When the Giants (4-2) face the Redskins (3-3) Sunday at MetLife Stadium, Baas is hoping to erase the sting of last year's disappointment. That goes for most of the Giants, who haven't forgotten they were swept by the Redskins last season.
"This is a team's that always given us trouble and it's always a dog-fight," said defensive end Justin Tuck. "It's going to be a game that comes down to the wire and a game where we're going to have to play our best ball to win."
Baas and his teammates along the offensive line have played some of their best ball over the last two weeks as the Giants have combined for 392 yards rushing in wins over the Browns and 49ers. Baas was especially solid against his former team, consistently opening holes against San Francisco's top-rated defense.
You would think the Giants offensive line would gain a measure of confidence from its recent success. But those linemen resist any notion it's time to exhale.
"I don't want to feel anything like that," Baas said. "You can't get complacent and comfortable. We're always hungry for more. Me personally, I'm definitely hungry for this game. We've just got to keep the hunger alive no matter what happened last week."
The Giants line will contend with a Redskins defense that is allowing just 88.8 yards rushing per game. They are anchored by 15-year veteran linebacker London Fletcher, who at 37, continues to play at a high level. He leads the Redskins with 80 tackles and has 135 tackles in 14 previous games against the Giants.
"He's still making a tackle every other play," said guard Kevin Boothe. "He's smart and seen it all. He's very tough to block. He knows how plays are supposed to go and he's quick to diagnosis things. He's still in great physical condition to be able to hold up for that long and play at a high level that long. It's really impressive and it's something everybody in the league admires."
When right tackle David Diehl went down with a knee injury in the second game of the season against Tampa Bay, it looked like a huge hit. But the interchangeable parts the Giants have mastered resulted in very little drop-off.
"Right now, it's been a decent couple of weeks," Boothe said. "The challenge is to always be consistent for a long period of time."
Guard Chris Snee said the improvement in the running game has been a team effort.
"The run game is just something you have to stick with," he said. "We continued to work hard in practice and never got discouraged. We just kept working on individual techniques and We were able to run against a very good defense last week. But we have to do it again this week."
Baas is looking forward to erasing the disappointing memory of his Giants debut and replace it with something more satisfying. That means beating the Redskins.
"Any game in the NFC East is always going to be a battle," Baas said. "It doesn't matter what the records are. We're going to be at each other's throats. Everybody on our team has to play as one."
It's no time to exhale.

Start your spring season off on the right foot with these safety tips!
We may be battling winter temperatures, but spring sports season is just around the corner. As you (or your athlete) gear up for another season, take some time to focus on foot safety – no matter what the sport, it's a pretty important part of your performance.
The athletic training team at ATI Physical Therapy suggests these five tips to start your season off on the right foot:
1. Wear proper footwear. Be sure you're wearing shoes that are right for your sport (track shoes for runners, cleats for baseball players, etc.) to help minimize the risk of injury. It's also important that these shoes fit well and are in good shape…if they took a beating last season, it's time to invest in some new ones.
2. Replace shoes as needed. For runners, it's recommended that you replace shoes every 300 to 500 miles. If you need new shoes, it's best to get them at the beginning of the season so that you can break them in before games and races begin.
3. Warm up properly. It's important that you begin a workout with some dynamic stretches to get your body going and ready for exercise.
4. Cross train. Continually doing the same thing day after day can negatively impact your feet (and other parts of your body). Therefore, switch up your activities to work different muscles.
5. Avoid overtraining. Especially as you head into a new season, avoid overworking yourself which puts you at risk for injury.

Need Help Handling Awkward Gift-Opening Moments? Here You Go.

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is one of the most common postoperative complications and prophylaxis (prevention) is the most effective strategy to reduce complications and/or death.
VTE is a condition where a blood clot (thrombus) forms in a vein. This clot can limit blood flow causing swelling, redness and pain. Most commonly, clots occur in the legs, thighs, or pelvis. If a part, or all, of the clot breaks off from where it was formed, it can travel through the veins. The part that breaks off is called an em bolus. If the em bolus lodges in the lung, it is called a pulmonary embolism, a serious condition that can cause death.
Certain types of surgery can increase the risk of blood clots forming in the veins because the patient doesn't move much during and, usually, after some surgeries. A number of factors can increase a patient's risk of developing blood clots, but a doctor can order a prophylaxis to reduce the risk. Prophylaxis may include blood-thinning medications, elastic support stockings, or mechanical air stockings that promote circulation in the legs.
The chart above indicates how often surgery patients' doctors ordered treatment to prevent blood clots from forming in the veins after certain surgeries.

This one has been a little harder for me than the last few days. I've managed to procrastinate long enough that the day is mostly over. Part of the difficulty is that I don't have a music catalog that I can scroll through and look for a song that sticks out for each particular prompt. I don't use iTunes, I don't have an iPod. So I have to think of songs off the top of my head.
But here's the thing about me: I don't really get wound up. I don't really get that sort of angry or stressed or heightened that I need to be calmed down from. That's one of the things about me that make it really difficult to be me. I don't get that stressed or angry, but I also don't get that excited or happy. Anyway, I went ahead and chose a song that I listen to pretty often that I do find calming.

Sounds wonderful. Hope to add it to my collection one day.
Thread: Songe d'un Bois d'Ete Guerlain
I just received this in the mail and I thought I would share my quick first impression thoughts on this fragrance.
Just a marvelous blend - dark, smokey, leathery and woody - dry and fresh with a slight balmy quality - very gentle and smooth yet aggressive - powerful - very well done Guerlain *applauds*
These are the days I love when my nose comes across something so wonderful
Sounds wonderful. Hope to add it to my collection one day.
I'm'a have to check this out next time I'm at Guerlain. I googled it to have a look at the bottle as I was just at Guerlain last night and don't recall seeing it. Does it stand comparison to any other frags?
"I drank what?" -Socrates
Sounds wonderful! A sombre Guerlain leather, wow.
I tried it today in Paris and was a bit disappointed. The bottle is not as beautiful as the picture in post #3. It is not black and looks very similar to the other ones of the L'Art et La Matière line (Tonka Impériale, Spiritueuse Double Vanille...), then the juice is certainly not as dark as Chergui or Borneo. It doesn't have that cocoa color that would go so well with a black glass bottle.
Technically it's a good perfume but not really interesting, L'Artisan (Dzongkha), Histoires de Parfums (1740) and of course Amouage have explored the leather territory years before, with more interesting stories.
After 1 hour it goes through a woody, Tom Ford-esque phase a la Encre Noire where the wood notes shout a bit too loud. The finish is gorgeous and perfectly balanced.
Longevity (1 spray on the arm) is about 8 hours.
One last word, I fear it might be overloaded with Iso E super, I would like to hear others' views on this. It made me realize how much I love Dandy, the ultimate Guerlain leather.
And the name is just n'importe quoi, as we say in French.
I agree Rem. I tested it in Paris a couple of days ago and while I've found it quite interesting, I still have some reservations. There's a syrupy quality to it that reminded me of Lutens without reminding me of any specific Lutens (if this make any sense). I asked for a sampled but they didn't have any to offer at the moment...I will surely give it a full wear before coming with my final virdict but, so far, I ilked it but not loved it...

Doh! I was down on the strip again today so I thought I'd stop by Guerlain and try and give this a test. Not only did they not have it, but they hadn't heard of it. Since I went down there with the intent of smelling Songe d'un Bois d'Ete, I wasn't wearing any frag, so I tried on Arsene Lupin Dandy; it's not bad, but I'm not sure it's worth what they're charging.

"I drank what?" -Socrates
It's not available as yet in the USA.
see the thread in the women's forum where these new exclusive have been extensively discussed
Songe is just marvelous !
Even the scent from Les Voyage London 04, the package insert says there is a leather note inspired by the London Royal Mews. This leather note is never mentioned in the notes.

Nice video review Mickers.
"I drank what?" -Socrates
Anyone else smell this? I love Leather Oud, which this is being compared to, but I'm not sure if I **need** an oriental right smack dab in the middle of summer!

"I drank what?" -Socrates
Picked this up at Dubai Airport last night. My favorite of the three (the Duty free shops are featuring all three - a bit of a shock considering how exclusive these appear to be.
Songe is richer and more syrupy than the other two (which is not a quality that turns me off when it comes to middle eastern-leaning scents). My initial reaction Leather Oud meets Tonka Imperiale. Less heat and suffocation than the former, with the tonka basting of Guerlainade in the latter. One thing that I really liked (which is rare for a Guerlain) - it gets a little dirtier with time... almost like L'artisan's Al Oudh. The three "associates" are among my favorite scents, so while redundant, I am really liking the sultry punch packed into this one bottle. Not an oud scent, (most would argue that the others are not either). And it lasted for the 8 hour layover + 14 hour flight to another continent... not sure how the other passengers felt about it.
Less Bois than the name suggests, I view it more as a Hot and Spicy leather with a tonka-drizzled sweetness. Really rich. Incredibly beautiful. Completely Unisex.
Having Simultaneous Affairs with: Amouage Memoir Man, Interlude Man, Epic Extrait (the femme version), Ubar, Tribute, Badr Al Badour, Opus VI Puredistance M, Sheiduna Tauer L'Air & Carillon pour un Ange Knize Ten Golden L'Artisan Al Oudh, Traversee du Bosphore TF Noir de Noir Xerjoff Homme, Richwood, 1861 Renaissance, 1888 (Casamorati), Uden, Zafar Serge Lutens MKK, Gris Clair, Fille en Aiguilles H de Parfums 1740, Noir Patchouli, Tub3 Animale, Fidelis Abdes Salaam Tabac, Cafe Milano, Sharif, Mecca Balsam Slumberhouse Baque MDCI Chypre Palatin Nicoläi Vie de Chateau Intense, Oud Sublime, L'Eau Mixte Dior Leather Oud, Oud Ispahan, Patchouli Imperial Chanel Sycomore Guerlain Songe d'un Bois d'Ete, Oud Essentiel MFK Oud Cashmere Mood Ormonde Jayne Nawab of Oudh Intensivo Papillon Anubis Bogue Maai
Got it today, my first impression is it reminds me a lot of Dior Leather Oud.
"I drank what?" -Socrates
Has this been released in the U.S?
"That lover which is like fragrance
Whose voice is as beautiful as Urdu.
She who hides in the flowers
you can only find her from her fragrance."
"Chaiyya Chaiyya," from the film, "Dil Se."
Negative, Kron hooked it up.
"I drank what?" -Socrates
A kind BNer recently passed me samples of these new releases.
To my nose, the whole woody / balmy / leathery / smokey composition isn't a million miles away from Amouage Epic Man.
I got a sample last week from TPC; it left me a little underwhelmed TBH. A soft, sweetish leather with incense. Quite nice but I expected something more.
I just got my bottle. It's nice but nothing mind blowing about it. Nothing spectacular. Tsk tsk tsk mickers. =)
MUST TEST. How much does it cost?
Euros 190 from Guerlain in Paris.
USD 270 in tax free airports in Doha/Dubai/Beirut for 75 ml.
It's not my kind of fragrance. Too strong and overpowering. I had to take a step back when I smelled it on paper. It has a sweet, spicy, leathery, middle-eastern kind of scent. Guerlain has released the three scents in the series primarily for the middle eastern market - plus Paris, I suppose.
I find the other scents in the series more interesting. The Encense is mild and mystic and quite good, I find. I love the Rose scent, the last in the series.
* Most drawn to complex florals, chypres and orientals. Collect the best, forget the rest *
For what it's worth, ladies who tested it on French boards reported back they found it extremely sensual and animalic in a dirty sort of way. It was judged as extremely masculine. I get this but find Dior Leather Oud to be dirtier and the Iso E super note in the Guerlain quite overwhelming.
I find it a considerably more complex piece than Leather Oud - to me it's as if Leather Oud is about one third of the composition, with a rich, aromatic herbal front end and a cedar / woods middle. (Roughly - in broad strokes).
I like Leather Oud a lot but on it's own (like Epic Man) I find it a bit simple for repeated wearing - basically it gets boring, too much of a good thing. Great occasionally, though. I like having it as part of something with more of a story to tell - works better in this context than a lot of other Oud combos I have tried - this wood chips oud idea is a 'good mixer'. It wouldn't surprise me if it's the same molecule or blend because Demachy & Wasser work together in the LVMH lab apparently - maybe they both locked in on it as they were develoing these things over the last year or two?
What does concern me (after only two wearings from a sample, so far) is that the woody mid-section accord is verging on the same synthetic cedar thing that crops up in a lot of 'masculine wood accords' that I can't stand. Need to try a couple more times and see if it's just the fact that I'm over sensitive to this note or if it really is too much. The Iso E + Cedar thing is a no go for me.
Overall I think it's great, the Rose is cool and the Encens is really cool. Nice one, Thierry Wasser.

Sounds like Al Oud with more cumin and a big slug of ISO from the descriptions above!
I have samples of both and I found the Songe shows more of the myrrh which isn't evident in the Leather Oud. There is an intersting note in Leather Oud which isn't in too many scents which is Amyris, said to be a type Hawaiian sandalwood.

Protests videos
As biotech corporations and their supporters continue to try and impose GM food and crops, and to dominate world food production, governments have consistently failed to protect their own citizens and the environment from unwanted, untested and unnecessary GMOs. As a result, ordinary people and NGOs have resorted to protests in order to make clear their opposition.

The action is a protest on the occasion of the vote of the Round Table on Responsible Soy (RTRS). This forum allowed GM RoundupReady soy to be certified as 'responsible', while in reality, this soy is responsible for massive use of pesticides as well as deforestation and driving small farmers from their lands.

Frank Lampard said he was pleased to score a "special" 200th goal for Chelsea in their 2-0 win over West Ham.
The 34-year-old found the net against his former club in the 19th minute to send the home side on their way to all three points, with Eden Hazard sealing the victory in the second half after providing the assist for Lampard's opener.
"It's special. It's obviously a landmark I've been getting towards," he told Sky Sports.
"I'm just pleased to get there and pleased it's an important goal for the team.
"I've been very fortunate to play for the club for a long time here with great players and players who put the ball on a plate sometimes for you like Hazard did there so I'm thankful.
"I think he's got the world at his feet and he can handle that pressure because he's that good."
Despite reaching the 200 goal milestone, Lampard was left frustrated at firing over the crossbar from close range, missing the opportunity to make it 201 strikes.
"I'm really annoyed, I won't sleep tonight," he added.
"I love scoring goals and I love being able to arrive in the box. I think I relaxed a bit on that one and skied it over the bar."

Best PC Games of 2011 (So Far)
2011 is halfway over, and it's time for a quick status check, starting with the best PC games released this year. There have been some really spectacular titles so far this year that went well beyond expectations, as well as a few that fell short. Here's a list of our current favorites:
1: Portal 2
Portal 2 is everything you could possibly love from the original Portal (like witty humor, exciting puzzles, and insane sentient robots set to make your life a living hell) plus an entirely new game mode: Cooperative Multiplayer. Portal 2 truly is nothing short of amazing. We just wish it were a bit longer; both game modes only last about 12 hours in total.
2: Dead Space 2
If you like suspenseful horror, the Dead Space series is for you. Dead Space 2 keeps the same gruesomely terrifying game play as its predecessor but with an added flare of more action. It also includes a fun, though somewhat limited, team based multiplayer mode for some extra depth.
Shogun 2 is certainly one of the lesser known hit titles of the year, but it still turns out to be a very enjoyable strategy title. It combines both turn-based and real-time strategy together into a unique experience. It is often praised for bringing the Total War series back to its roots.
4: Crysis 2
Crytek games have always been praised for pushing the envelope of graphics performance, and Crysis 2 was no exception (though some wish Crytek pushed further than it did). Crysis 2 took the series out of the tropical jungle and into the concrete jungle and refined the game play experience. It also adds a critically acclaimed multiplayer mode that rivals Call of Duty's Modern Warfare 2.
5: DiRT 3
DiRT 3 is the current leader when it comes to PC Racing Simulators. Even though it only focuses on Rally Racing, which disappoints some, it maintains a lot of widespread appeal with additional party modes, such as Zombie Infection and Capture the Flag. It also includes a new Hardcore Mode for dedicated racers who want to test their skill.
We also have many more PC games in our PC Games Category. Just sort by alaScore to help find the most popular.

Beats me! When you figure it out, let me know!
I have yet to delve into actually running a pbp campaign but I would think one of the keys would be the story being told between the character posts. By that I mean if the person running the campaign is skilled at spinning his/her tale it helps to keep people interested waiting for the next installment. That is what keeps my attention anyways. I find myself reading the good parts several times. (my 2 cents)
I'm about to start playing in my first pbp game: http://www.penandpapergames.com/foru...ead.php?t=7462
I'll be sure to share my insights over time. Either way it goes, this looks to be an incredible game.
From what i am told thus far, the pace only goes as fast as my active participation.

I would have to agree, the DM/GM is the most important piece to the game. You can keepthe game going easily if you are able to post often.

The reason why people would get on your case about it is that it is quite obvious that the Buddha never intended for rebirth to be taken as a metaphor. There is simply no justification for such as view. If you wish to understand rebirth metaphorically, that is one thing -- but asserting that rebirth must be understood as a metaphor is completely wrong.Fruitzilla wrote: Mostly they don't mind so much as far as I remember.
But I know that as soon as I (for example) would start talking about rebirth being metaphorical instead of literal, or what have you, some people would immediately get on my case, and wouldn't stop hounding me until I cried uncle...
It's not a very pleasant situation to be in to be honest, so I can imagine someone with these viewpoints not getting into a habit of posting here frequently.

Jim Lehrer's philosophy on moderator's role tested
NEW YORK – Former PBS anchor Jim Lehrer says the format of the first presidential debate accomplished its purpose of promoting direct exchanges between the candidates on substantive issues.
Lehrer moderated Wednesday's debate between President Barack Obama and challenger Mitt Romney, who both frequently ignored his efforts to hold them to time limits. He has been criticized on social media for losing control of the debate and not being sharp in his questions.
Lehrer's defenders say there's no shame in letting candidates try to engage each other directly.
A new debate format called for Lehrer to introduce subject areas and give each candidate two minutes to speak, then several more minutes of back-and-forth.
Lehrer says his only frustration was discovering 90 minutes wasn't enough time to cover every issue that deserved attention.

Forehand, with 21 newcomers on the roster, thinks this year's schedule will help prepare his players for the Atlantic Sun Conference.
"I think you try to put together your schedule with the end of the season in mind, knowing that you are going to play in a six-team conference tournament and. Hopefully, an NCAA regional after that," said Forehand. "I like our non-conference schedule.
"In hindsight last year we may have bitten off too much. This year I think the schedule is right where it should be. I think we are going to learn a lot in the non-conference games."
The Bisons will open the season at home Feb. 19 with a three-game series against Murray State from the Ohio Valley Conference at Ken Dugan Field at Stephen L. Marsh Stadium.
The first road trip will send the Bisons to New Orleans for a three-game series with Tulane starting on Feb. 26.
"We were originally going to open against Tulane, but now we have the opportunity to open at home against Murray State which had a great season last year in the OVC," said Forehand. "They are returning a lot of players and their coaches do a great job. Then we go to Tulane which has a couple of pitchers that are touted high in the draft.
"We have done that the last few years. We have gone to Georgia Tech and Southern Miss to get our feet wet early. We dropped three games at Southern Miss but we were in the games. We were in one of the games in Georgia Tech and had a chance to win it."
Three Southeastern Conference teams are on the schedule with road trips to Tennessee (April 13) and Kentucky (May 12). The Bisons will play Vanderbilt on the road March 23. The Commodores will visit Lipscomb April 20.
The Bisons will travel to Myrtle Beach, S.C., March 12 and 13 to play in Coastal Carolina's tournament. They will face Illinois, Michigan and Ball State.
"The chance to play some bigger schools in a sunny environment will be really nice," said Forehand.
In addition to Vanderbilt, the Bisons will play several other local teams. Middle Tennessee State, a member of the Sun Belt Conference, visits March. The Bisons will travel to Murfreesboro to face the Blue Raiders March 31.
Three other Ohio Valley Conference teams are also on the schedule. Tennessee Tech visits Lipscomb April 6 and then they head to Cookeville the next day to complete the series. The Bisons visit Tennessee-Martin March 2. Tennessee-Martin will play at Lipscomb April 21. The Bisons travel to Austin Peay March 24. They will host the Governors May 18.
Rounding out the non-conference schedule are three-game series with Canisius (March 5-7) and Illinois State (April 2-3) and a two-game series with Youngstown State (March 9-10).
The Bisons will open the Atlantic Sun portion of the schedule March 19-21 at Belmont. The first A-Sun home series is March 26-27 against ETSU.
The A-Sun regular season schedule becomes even more of a challenge this season with every team eligible for the conference tournament with the exception of USC-Upstate.
The Atlantic Sun Tournament will be hosted by Lipscomb this season from May 25-29. The Bisons, the Atlantic Sun Tournament Champion in 2008, are seeking their third straight trip to the tournament championship game.
"Florida Gulf Coast will be picked first in the conference poll, no question," said Forehand. "They have the whole team returning and a possible No. 1 draft pick pitching."
In addition to Florida Gulf Coast, the other new tournament eligible teams are Kennesaw State and North Florida.
"Winning the conference regular season is everybody's goal," said Forehand. "But you can't move on until you make the conference tournament. Six teams are going to make it. Five teams are not.
"One of the reasons we wanted to host the tournament was to have every advantage to make a regional. Hosting a conference tournament is big, but you have to make it."

Low grade glioma invasion is dependent on microglia
Search Medline for
|May 20, 2009
Objective: We have shown previously that the microglia surrounding glioma is promoting glioma invasiveness by activation of MMP-2 (Markovic et al. 2005). Now we investigate whether microglial expression of membrane type 1 metalloprotease (MT1-MMP) is regulated by gliomas.
Methods: We used immunohistochemistry, the in vivo mouse GL261 glioma model, organotypical brain slice cultures, PCR, Western Blot, shRNA microglia transfection and MT1-MMP activity assays in cell culture experiments to demonstrate overexpression of MT1-MMP in microglia after glioma stimulation.
Results: MT1-MMP is upregulated in glioma associated microglia, but not in the glioma cells. Overexpression of MT1-MMP is even lethal for glioma cells. Glioma-released factors trigger the expression and activity of MT1-MMP in cultured microglial cells, mainly via a p38 MAP kinase pathway. Microglial MT1-MMP in turn activates glioma derived pro-MMP-2 and promotes glioma expansion, as shown in an ex vivo model using MT1-MMP deficient brain tissue and a microglia depletion paradigm. The antibiotic minocycline, a blood brain barrier penetrating blocker of microglial activation and p38 MAPK signaling pathway, interferes with MT1-MMP expression and activity in glioma associated microglia and attenuates glioma expansion in an in vivo model (GL261).
Conclusions: Glioma released factor is stimulating overexpression of MT1-MMP via p38 MAPK, which in turn leads to overproduction of active MMP-2. Minocycline treatment could have beneficial effects on glioma invasiveness.

It's IFA in Berlin this week, and as always, most of the new devices announced are iterations on what came before and not particularly interesting. One device stands out, though - and it's a Samsung.
The Note Edge is, on paper at least, only the slightest variation on the new Note 4. It has the same metallic design, a huge improvement on anything Samsung's done before. It has the same soft-touch back, blissfully without the fake stitching. It has the same 16-megapixel camera, the same heart-rate monitor, the same processor, the same memory, the same software, the same new Multi Window feature, the same everything. It's an incredibly high-end, incredibly powerful phone. It even has a Quad HD, 2560 x 1440 display like the Note 4, though this one is slightly smaller at 5.6 inches rather than 5.7.
But there's more to the Note Edge than its spec sheet.
That 'more' refers to its display. The right edge of the display is curved downward, creating a sort of little side display attached to the big one. This little side display can be used to show additional application controls, a ticker, an alarm clock, and so on. It looks kind of neat, but as always with Samsung, I'm pretty sure their software is going to ruin it and turn it into even more of a gimmick than it already is.

text: 6 weeks ago I decided to stop breast feeding because my baby wasnt gaining weight. Ive struggled with this decision and cried daily since. I decided today that I cant keep doing this and I am going to try to induce lactation again. I just started this morning with putting the baby to my breasts and making sure to pump every 2-3hrs. I am already getting just a drop or 2 from each breast when I pump, not sure about when the baby is there. Any advice/encouragement and one can give will be greatly appreciated.

While Florida is still in search of suitable replacements for three departed all-Americans (Caleb Sturgis, Matt Elam and Shariff Floyd), one such player the Gators still have in the fold is junior punter Kyle Christy.
Unfortunately for UF however, the Ray Guy Award finalist hasn't participated in any of Florida's spring practice sessions due to a torn labrum he sustained before his all-American season.
Although Christy is fully able to punt the football — something he did at a 45.8-yard clip last season — he is still unable to perform one basic function.
"I'm not allowed to catch snaps yet," Christy said.
Christy says he still has another month before he'll be fully cleared to go, but he'll still enjoy plenty of time during the summer to get ready for the season. It was last summer when Christy endured his injury away from the football field, an incident he simply described as "embarrassing."
"I fell off my scooter," Christy said when asked how the injury occurred.
"I was hoping you wouldn't ask that."
With UF experiencing turnover at a number of spots on its roster, having a proven and stable force like Christy is undoubtedly a boost to the team. After a freshman season that could best be described as average, Christy exploded in his second year on campus.
Christy finished the season ranked fifth in the nation in punting average, good enough for tops in the SEC. In 10 of Florida's 13 games, Christy saw his punts go for 50 yards or more, including a 62-yard bomb against South Carolina which helped garner him the SEC Special Teams Player of the Week.
Florida's special teams helped keep the Gators afloat at times last season. Although Christy is still on the roster, the Indiana native admitted the loss of Sturgis is one the team is still coping with.
"I'm not going to lie, we're missing Sturgis right now," Christy said. "(The kickers are) trying as hard as they can and I see them work every day. They're trying to get better every day, but obviously they're just struggling a little bit right now. But I think they'll get out of it by the time the season starts and they'll be ready to go."
As for his own prospects for the season, Christy believes that once he's able to resume his regular routine, he'll be able get back in the swing of things.
"Coming off the surgery or whatever I just want to get back to where I was and try to just become more consistent," Christy said.
"As soon as I'm able to do that, I'll have to get a bunch of reps out there and just make sure my operation's down."
