Preserving and Restoring Brain FunctionOctober 2005
By Dale Kiefer
Protecting brain health is vital if the pursuit of a longer life is to have any meaning. According to current wisdom, some degree of cognitive impairment is all but inevitable as we age.1-6 That is, unless steps are taken to prevent it.7-12
Scientists in Texas recently noted, "As life expectancy increases worldwide, pandemics of cognitive impairment and dementia are emerging as major public health problems."2 Another research team tried to inject humor into this sobering topic:
"Cognitive aspects of aging represent a grave challenge for our societal circumstances as members of the baby-boom generation spiral toward a collective 'senior moment.'"5
The encouraging news is that scientists have discovered methods to preserve and even restore neurological structure and function. These powerful weapons give aging adults unprecedented control over their cognitive health.
Recent data indicate that up to 9.4% of Europeans over the age of 65 suffer from some form of dementia.13 A report from Great Britain notes that the incidence of cognitive impairment may increase dramatically with age.14
Cognitive impairment was detected in 18.3% of subjects in a study of more than 15,000 elderly in the United Kingdom, approximately half of whom were 75-79 years old.14 French researchers noted recently, "In most countries, the prevalence of dementia varies between 6 and 8% for individuals aged 65 years or more. It then dramatically increases with each subsequent decade, reaching around 30% of the population aged over 85."15
Unfortunately, these statistics fail to estimate the incidence of mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Subtler than dementia, MCI is also undoubtedly more prevalent. MCI, defined as an intermediate state between normal aging and dementia, is characterized by "acquired cognitive deficits, without significant decline in functional activities of daily living."16 In Australia, a small study attempted to identify the prevalence of MCI without dementia among community-dwelling elderly aged 70-79. One third of the subjects showed evidence of the condition.17
Researchers in Germany studied more than 1,000 elderly adults aged 75 and older. "Mild cognitive impairment is very frequent in older people," they concluded. Prevalence rates ranged from 3% to 36%, depending on the diagnostic criteria applied. Over the course of about 30 months, up to 47% of those identified with MCI progressed to dementia.18
Strategies for Protecting the Brain
Cognitive decline is not inevitable with advancing age. It is possible to live a longer and healthier life, but preserving brain health is crucial to accomplishing this goal. Various factors conspire to rob us of mental acuity as we age. Recent studies suggest that inflammation (as determined by elevated levels of interleukin-6 or C-reactive protein), high blood pressure, high blood insulin, excessive body weight or obesity, arterial stiffness, and the increasingly common condition known as metabolic syndrome (characterized by a cluster of abnormal conditions such as insulin resistance, obesity, high cholesterol, and hypertension) are all independent risk factors for dementia.19-24 Psychological health, including anxiety and depression, has recently been implicated as a risk factor as well.25
The ideal strategy for preserving brain function begins with preventing illnesses that may contribute to cognitive decline and dementia. Good nutrition—including dietary supplements—and a healthy lifestyle can keep many of these afflictions at bay. As a first step toward ensuring brain health, keep your blood pressure and weight in check, avoid metabolic syndrome and diabetes, and obtain treatment for depression or anxiety disorders. However, there is much more that can and should be done to protect the aging brain.
Scientists have advanced several theories regarding the causes of cognitive decline associated with advancing age. One familiar hypothesis proposes that toxic by-products of cellular metabolism known as free radicals slowly accumulate within cells, where they cause cumulative and eventually fatal damage.26 Nerve cells (neurons) in the brain rely on the oxidative phosphorylation of glucose within the mitochondria to supply their considerable energy needs. Accordingly, the brain's appetite for glucose and oxygen is great.27 As a result, the brain is particularly susceptible to oxidative stress. Free radicals are produced by the mitochondria at an accelerated rate. Supplemental antioxidants, therefore, are especially important to preserving healthy cognitive function.10
The Cholinergic System at Risk
Inflammation is also implicated in the development of various neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia. It is believed that inflammation triggers a cascade of events that leads to the destruction of neurological tissues.28 In Alzheimer's disease, the presence of a protein, beta-amyloid (Abeta), appears to trigger inflammation.29 A decline in acetylcholine, an important messenger chemical or neurotransmitter, has also been observed in individuals with Alzheimer's disease.30 Early on, this inflammation and cholinergic dysfunction may be experienced as mild memory impairment or confusion. Left unchecked, however, it invariably leads to advancing cognitive decline and dementia. Anti-inflammatory strategies thus make sense in protecting cognitive function.
Interruptions in cerebral blood flow have also been implicated in cognitive decline,31,32 so optimizing blood flow is a logical strategy for protecting brain function. Vascular dementia was once considered distinctly different from Alzheimer's-type dementia, but scientists now believe that vascular dementia and Alzheimer's share a common pathology—namely, the disruption of cholinergic function.33 Even decreasing psychological stress may be helpful. New research shows that older men who secreted the highest levels of epinephrine (a stress hormone) were more likely to suffer subsequent cognitive decline.34 While body cells are easily replaced, the nerves and supporting tissues of the brain and spinal cord cannot yet be replaced once they are damaged or destroyed. Cells of the brain and nervous system are incapable of further division and renewal once they reach maturity.35,36
Various lifestyle factors contribute to healthy brain aging, including regular exercise and adequate sleep, routine mental stimulation, a positive outlook, and a healthy social network.7,37,38 However, nutritional support for the aging brain likewise is of paramount importance. Supplements that combat inflammation, improve cerebral blood flow, and reverse the loss of acetylcholine and its receptors directly target the causes of age-related brain decline.
GPC Benefits Brain Health
Glycerophosphocholine, or GPC (formerly called L-alpha glycerylphosphorylcholine, or choline alfocerate) is naturally present in all the body's cells. Its importance to life and safety as a supplement are evidenced by its substantial presence in human breast milk.39,40 First discovered in the late 1990s, GPC is now regarded as essential to the healthy development of newborns, due to the great demand for choline, especially by the rapidly developing brain.40
Among aging adults, the rationale for GPC therapy goes back to the hypothesis, developed more than 30 years ago, that declining levels of acetylcholine—and a concurrent decrease in the number of neurons that are its intended target—are responsible for a range of cognitive deficits.29 Acetylcholine is an essential neurotransmitter involved in muscle control, sleep, and cognition. Its decline coincides with advancing age, and is a hallmark of the neurodegeneration seen in cognitive decline, vascular dementia, and Alzheimer's disease. By boosting acetylcholine levels in the brain, the hypothesis proposes, it should be feasible to reverse these cognitive deficits and changes in brain structure.1
Early attempts to identify a suitable precursor for acetylcholine failed until scientists experimented with GPC.41-44 Sold in Europe by prescription only, GPC is available in the US as a dietary supplement. GPC provides a crucial building block for the production of new acetylcholine in the brain. Numerous clinical trials have scrutinized the efficacy and safety of GPC in humans and in animal models of human neurological disorders.45-48 These studies, large and small, controlled and informal, have universally demonstrated GPC's effectiveness, safety, and tolerability.1,49,50 The studies have examined everything from changes in learning, memory, and brain structure in rats, to stroke-induced cognitive deficits in humans, to induced and restored memory deficits in laboratory animals.1,45-51
In early 2001, a retrospective analysis of published clinical data involving 4,054 patients concluded that, overall, GPC improved patients' clinical conditions. Of the 10 studies devoted to dementia disorders, a majority were controlled trials that compared the efficacy of GPC to either placebo or a reference drug. Dr. Lucilla Parnetti, a coauthor of the analysis, wrote, "Administration of [GPC] significantly improved patient clinical condition . . . results were superior or equivalent to those observed in control groups under active treatment and superior to the results observed in placebo groups."1
Early clinical trials with GPC used daily dosages of 1200 mg. After an initial two to four weeks at this dose, some people reduce their dose to 600 mg daily. A daily dose of 300 mg may be appropriate for healthy young people.
GPC works in a manner roughly similar to prescription cholinesterase inhibitor drugs such as donepezil (Aricept®) and rivastigmine (Exelon®), which are used to combat acetylcholine deficits in Alzheimer's and vascular dementia patients.52 However, GPC tackles the problem of too little acetylcholine from a different angle. Rather than interfering with the enzyme that breaks down acetylcholine, GPC provides a means for the body to manufacture new acetylcholine.
Ashwagandha and the Brain
Ashwagandha is a medicinal plant used in India to treat a wide range of age-related disorders.53-63 Its most remarkable effect may involve its ability to preserve the health of the aging brain.
Ashwagandha offers myriad neuroprotective benefits. For example, one study showed that when given to mice, ashwagandha extract promotes memory retention, even when amnesia has been induced experimentally.60 Another study found that ashwagandha extract is capable of protecting the brains of laboratory rats against experimentally induced stroke.61 Ashwagandha constituents have also been shown to inhibit acetylcholinesterase (AChE), an enzyme responsible for breaking down acetylcholine, the neurotransmitter that is in dangerously short supply in the brains of Alzheimer's disease sufferers.62 This AChE-blocking action is similar to that of prescription drugs such as Aricept® that are currently used to treat Alzheimer's symptoms.
Exciting new research indicates that ashwagandha extract is capable of halting and even repairing damage to brain cells in an experimentally induced model of Alzheimer's disease.63 Scientists in Japan induced Alzheimer's-type brain cell atrophy and loss of synaptic function in mice by exposing them to the toxic protein Abeta, which has been implicated in the genesis of Alzheimer's disease in humans. "Subsequent treatment with [a constituent of ashwagandha] induced significant regeneration of both axons and dendrites, in addition to the reconstruction of pre- and postsynapses in the neurons," according to the scientists.63
Phosphatidylserine Maintains Brain Cell Membranes
Phosphatidylserine, a natural and integral component of every cell membrane, is a powerful weapon in the fight against brain aging. Phosphatidylserine is sold in Europe and Japan as a regulated drug, where it is often prescribed to combat memory loss and learning deficits. Available as a nutritional supplement in the United States, phosphatidylserine serves as a key component of many brain function-enhancing formulas.
The body manufactures phosphatidylserine to ensure its continual supply, underscoring the importance of this natural phospholipid. Unfortunately, however, aging slows production of this crucial contributor to brain health.
Phosphatidylserine helps the brain use its fuel efficiently. By boosting glucose metabolism and stimulating production of acetylcholine, supplemental phosphatidylserine has been shown to improve the condition of patients experiencing age-associated memory impairment or cognitive decline.8,64-67 Clinical trials using small groups of patients with cognitive decline demonstrated significant improvements with phosphatidylserine supplementation, especially among patients in the early stages. Positron emission tomography (PET) brain-imaging scans verified that patients taking phosphatidylserine experienced significant increases in glucose uptake compared to subjects who received social support or cognitive training but not phosphatidylserine.68
A large multicenter trial examined the use of phosphatidylserine to combat the effects of moderate to severe age-related cognitive decline. Patients were drawn from 23 general medicine or geriatric units. Compared to patients who received dummy placebo pills, phosphatidylserine-supplemented patients demonstrated significant behavioral improvements, including increased socialization, motivation, and initiative.69
Phosphatidylserine is generally safe and well tolerated, with no significant drug interactions reported.70

The draw for the first and second qualifying rounds of the UEFA Champions League was made in Nyon this afternoon, with Celtic, BATE Borisov and Steaua Bucharest amongst those hoping for a manageable path to the group stage.
Scottish champions Celtic, who triumphed over Barcelona to reach the knockout phase last season, enter the preliminary tournament in the second round and will face two legs against Northern Irish Premiership winners Cliftonville in mid-July.
Meanwhile BATE, the highest ranked team not to receive a bye into the third qualification round, are set to play Kazakh side Shakhter Karagandy, while the Romanian league holders Steaua were drawn against Macedonian club FK Vardar.
Teams progressing from the second round, which also involves familiar European names Dinamo Zagreb and Maccabi Tel Aviv, who also succeed in the third level of qualification will face an elite pool of teams for a place in the group stage.
Today's draw would have been closely regarded by former Champions League finalists Arsenal, as well as AC Milan, with the eminent clubs forced into the prospect of a two-legged play-off game in August to reach the tournament proper.
The qualification stage, however, begins in one week's time on July 2 and 3 - all in all, just 38 days after last season's Champions League final at Wembley Stadium.

New Report: IP Laws Are Crippling The EU Economy
from the economic-freedom-and-personal-freedom-go-hand-in-hand deptGlyn Moody points us to a new report from the group EDRI, claiming that intellectual property is harming the economy of Europe. The group lists out a few key points:
- Harmonise exceptions to copyright to create legal certainty across the EU about the permitted uses of works covered by IP
- Establish pan-European licensing arrangements as a matter of priority, and tie future enforcement policy to the successful development of such proposals
- Abandon repressive enforcement measures that would materially damage people's fundamental rights
- Establishes a moratorium on the exporting of repressive IP enforcement to third countries
- Makes a firm commitment to robust, objective evidence and re-evaluation of policy on the basis of it.
However I do appreciate the concerns about repressive enforcement and the aggressive expansion of repressive enforcement to other countries. All in all, it does seem like another useful report on the problems of today's intellectual property laws.

The next version of the video editor brushes up the interface and add Looks effects.
Adobe has given us a sneak peek at the next version of its Premiere Pro video editing software, alongside upgrades to After Effects, Prelude, Audition and SpeedGrade – as well as formally launching its network-based editing system Adobe Anywhere.
The main new creative feature in Premiere Pro CS7 is the ability to apply the Lumetri Looks effects available in the SpeedGrade CS6 colour grading software within Premiere. These work in a similar fashion to Red Giant's Magic Bullet Looks, applying a set of visual styles to footage from Bleach Bypass and Day For Night to Sepia and a variety of black-and-white effects. In Speedgrade they're GPU-accelerated and work in a 32-bit floating bit colour space – and we expect that they will be in Premiere Pro too.
A less creative but equally important – and much requested – feature is a redesigned way to deal with unlinked files that show up as offline media. The new system uses the Media Browser panel to navigate to or search for missing files, and Premiere Pro automatically relinks files it discovers in the same directory as ones you select.
A new FX button on clips in the Timeline shows which clips have effects applied to them. The button appears with different colours to indicate whether it's what Adobe calls 'intrinsic' effects – Motion and Opacity – or other effects, or both.
When pasting effect properties from one clip to another, you will get a dialog to choose what properties to apply
Adobe is making much of editors moving from Final Cut Pro – especially moving from FCP 7 to Premiere Pro rather than to FCP X – and Avid Media Composer and has added some features from those tools at the request of editors making the move. These include pink lines on clips that indicate duplicated frames, where a clip has been used more than once in a project.
Clips cut in two with the Razor tool sitting next to each other on the timeline – known as through edits – can be rejoined by selecting both clips, right-clicking and selecting Join.
A different path
Adobe's business development manager for video Niels Stevens says that the company has been asked by many editors to add support for opening more than one project at once, but says that instead it's chosen to allow editors to import projects (or selected sequences from them) into an open project. He said that this allows for what most editors want from being able to open more than one project at once – copy edits or elements from one to another. Editor can also bringing in nested sequences into a sequence as component parts.
Another feature that Adobe says has been much requested is the new Audio Clip Mixer panel. This shows the audio levels of all tracks in a single line of audio meters, which is designed to make balancing audio faster as it's easy to spot which tracks are louder or quieter than others.
Other new audio features including support for VST3 plug-ins, and new audio effects including a new Multi-band Compressor from Izotope for a quick sound boost and TC Electronics Loudness Radar for checking broadcast compliant of audio levels.
One final new feature is the ability to flatten multi cam sequences when outputting projects (or EDLs) to other applications or servers.
* While Adobe has released updates to tools such as Photoshop, Illustrator and Dreamweaver for free to subscribers to its Creative Cloud service, the company is talking about Premiere Pro's new features in terms of the 'next version' of the software, leading us to believe that this will be Premiere Pro CS7 – so a paid-for upgrade available for non-Cloud members and free to those who are. We've also received information pointing to the next version of AE that was demoed at the same time is After Effects CS7.

David C. Driskell
National Humanities Medal
"I am connecting my life to someone else's life," says art collector David C. Driskell, "someone who had a vision about another time, or someone who had different experiences, who wanted to give a view of a person's mood, or the beauty of landscape."
As an educator and art collector, Driskell respects the significance of the past. "The humanities for me are the basis for the whole learning experience. They inform us so much about the past."
Recently retired, Driskell was a teacher and curator at the University of Maryland for more than twenty years. He has lectured at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Corcoran Gallery of Art, and the Art Institute of Chicago, among other museums, and has curated numerous exhibitions. He puts his expertise to personal use as well. Since college, he has devoted himself to preserving cultural traditions by collecting African American art and artifacts dating from the era of slave ships to modern times.
By buying and preserving pieces outside what he calls the "quality canon," Driskell has helped change art collecting trends. In recent years, museums have become more inclusive in their selection of art, in terms of race, gender, and ethnicity. Ever the activist, Driskell calls for a deeper revision of artistic standards and a diversification of the canon. He praises private collectors like Bill and Camille Cosby for gathering a broad range of American art. Their collection is showcased in the book The Other Side of Color, which Driskell put together. It will be released in March 2001.
Driskell's own collection of paintings, lithographs, drawings, and sculptures span almost four hundred years. The art in his collection includes that of nineteenth-century painters Robert Scott Duncanson and Henry O. Tanner, sculptor and social activist Augusta Savage, and colorist Alma Thomas. The collection is currently on display in the touring exhibition "Narratives of African American Art and Identity: The David C. Driskell Collection." The show presents artwork, archival photographs, rare books, and film, and demonstrates his inclusive philosophy towards art. Though its heart is African American art, it incorporates African, European, and Asian pieces--revealing the eye of a collector who is as moved by beauty on its own terms as by items of specific cultural significance.
Educated at Howard and Catholic Universities and the recipient of nine honorary doctoral degrees in art, Driskell has studied African and African American art around the globe. A sampling of the schools at which he has taught includes Bowdoin College, Fisk University, and Obafemi Awolowo University in Nigeria. He was asked by President and Mrs. Clinton to choose artwork for the White House. For decades, he has published books and essays on subjects ranging from colonial art to Klee and Kandinsky, and from aesthetics to printmaking.
The Humanities Medal joins his Distinguished Alumni Awards in Art, three Rockefeller Foundation fellowships, and other honors. Driskell is currently traveling with the Narratives collection and also as a visiting lecturer. He quips, "I'm busier now that I'm retired than I ever was before."

Test Kitchen-Approved
Author Notes: What I like most about this simple pie is that I can make it ahead and freeze, which enables me to use the seasonal broccoli rabe and have it even when it's out of season. It's a pie made with a very simple dough. It is then filled with julienned raw broccoli rabe and ricotta and covered with dough again. On top you add little pieces of lard (if you can find Lardo di Colonnata it's the best). Serve it for a light dinner, hot, warm or cold. —Maria Teresa Jorge
Serves: 8
Savoury Pie Crust
ounces all purpose flour - sifted
milliliters water
tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Broccoli Rabe Filling
bunches broccoli rabe washed and cut in julienne
eggs whole
ounces Parmesan cheese grated
ounces very fresh ricotta
Black pepper
ounce lard in slices, Lardo di Colonnata is the best choice or streaked bacon
In This Recipe
- Pie Crust: In a stand mixer adapted with the hook attachment, beat the sifted flour, the water and the olive oil for about 10 minutes until elastic and shinny. Cover with plastic film and allow to rest for a minimum of 30 minutes. In reality, this dough is like a bread dough, so it will be quite elastic.
- Meanwhile, wash the broccoli rabe, pat dry with a kitchen towel. Put the leaves one on top of the other, roll forming a long cigar and julienne them thinly. Put in a colander, sprinkle with salt and set aside for 30 minutes.
- Put the ricotta in a colander over a bowl and let drain for 30 minutes to remove all the excess water.
- After 30 minutes, squeeze the broccoli rabe with your hands, removing as much water as possible.
- Lightly beat the 2 eggs. Put the ricotta in a bowl and beat with a fork so you get a smooth paste. Add the eggs and parmesan and mix well. Add the julienned broccoli rabe, a dash of freshly ground pepper and mix very well until well blended.
- Line a 12 inch diameter round baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly oil it with olive oil.
- Divide the pie dough in 2 parts, one slightly bigger then the other. Roll out both doughs until quite thin. Transfer the biggest dough to the pie baking sheet. Add the ricotta broccoli mixture in the midle leaving 1 1/2 inch of dough with no filling. Cover with the smaller dough.
- Close the pie by rolling the sides, bottom over top squeezing together (see image). With a pair of scissors make little incisions on the top dough to allow the steam to come out.
- Pre-heat the oven to 350º F with rack in he middle position.
- Cut the lard in small pieces and sprinkle them on top (or streaked bacon if you can't find lard).
- Bake for 40 minutes or until the top is golden brown. Serve hot, at room temperature or even cold.
- If you are going to freeze it, stop at step 8 and freeze wrapped in plastic film. Defrost in fridge for about 2 hours and proceed from step 9 onwards.

A Story in a Poem
This is just an idea that came to me. I warn you, it may not be any good. I wrote it down in five minutes. Hope that it's good anyway. Review and tell me what you think. The title says it all. It's not very long, so it won't take that long to read it. Sorry about the title, not very creative, but at least it fits the 'story' : ) I added more to it! Enjoy!
1. Waking Up
Rating 5/5 Word Count 225 Review this Chapter
A few beams sparkle off my mirror
The warming effect
That consumes my skin
As I bask in it's blaze.
Behind me
My immortal
Walks up to me
Right into the shaft of light
He sparkles like millions of diamonds
Plastered onto his body.
A quick peck on the cheek and
Then out the window
That was already halfway open
From his arrival last night.
Stiff and slow my footsteps down the stairs
A thump and creak as I walk.
A thud, I fell
But that is no surprise
To anyone who knows me
At least.
Crunch and a cling
The spoon banging against the bowl
As I take a misaimed scoop for the cereal
Some splatters onto the floor and
I reach down to clean it up
Knocking the whole bowl down
In the process.
After a few minutes if life with out him
He waits in my driveway
Begging me to hurry up.
I blunder towards the shiny Volvo
The chariot that my prince
Has thoughtfully brought for me.
But before his arms could wrap around me
A knock to my head
The ground coming towards me
Faster then I feel comfortable with
Blackness consumes me
Making me wish that
I could hear his voice one last time.
I open my eyes
White walls all around me
Clouds are seen through the window
I look at Alice who is sitting in the chair
Next to the bed.
"Where is he?" I ask
Curious to where my Romeo has gone.
"Taking care of some business," she responds simply
And then turns back to her magazine.

Ocean Youth Trust Ireland is a national sail training charity that believes that young people from all walks of life should have the opportunity to reach their full potential. Ocean Youth Trust Ireland use 'Adventure under Sail' – adventure sailing and camp as a means to help young people aged ten years upwards to gain knowledge about themselves and others.
We help young people to live healthy, fulfilling lives and make a positive contribution to their community and society as a whole.
There is a methodology which we use when we do our work. We take working with young people very seriously and our tailor made programmes are grounded in informal education, outdoor learning and youth-work using proven models of practice.
OYTI creates an atmosphere enabling young people to learn more about themselves. Sailing a boat are reliant on team work. Our programmes are carefully designed to maximize the principles of outdoor education and nature. This creates an element of risk which underlies all of our work and makes the whole experience exciting and unique for every group. We are very fortunate, Ireland has an expansive coastline and inland waterways which we can explore, and if that is not enough, there are the two thirds of the world covered by ocean which we can access. Underlying the core elements of sailing we ultimately connect people and build relationships. We link people to themed programmes such as heritage, the arts and culture.

Inspect and perform the cable adjustments listed in the Final Adjustments section of the Snow Thrower Assembly section of your operator's manual. Cables stretch over time, and adjusting them will tighten any slack.
As part of your auger troubleshooting, it may be necessary to inspect and replace one or both of the belts on your machine. The belts operate the drive systems for the wheels and the snow thrower auger.
If the belt(s) seem fine and the engine runs, but the snow blower auger is not working properly, then broken shear bolts are likely the problem. Inspect the shear bolts and replace them if necessary. Shear bolts are located along the main auger shaft in the center of each auger spiral. Refer to the illustrated parts list on this website or in your operator's manual to find the location and part numbers of your machine's shear bolts, as well as other snow blower auger parts.
For loss of wheel drive, begin with inspection of the rubber friction wheel. This friction wheel rubber should be replaced when the thickness of the exposed rubber wears to approximately one-eighth inch. This drive component transfers power from the belts to the drive wheels, and operating the unit with worn out friction rubber may result in damage to the drive system. Check the friction rubber regularly for wear. Consult your Operator's Manual for more information on friction wheel maintenance.

Australian Men on Fire in Kona
Can the Aussie "Super Six" turn into seven at this year's IRONMAN World Championship?
Australian men have won the last six times on The Big Island, with two of them—defending champion Pete Jacobs and three-time winner Craig Alexander—coming into the race with strong credentials for a podium finish this year.
The first Australian to win the GoPro IRONMAN World Championships, Greg Welch, believes an Australian one-two is a distinct possibility, rating Jacobs as the better chance than the three-time champion and record holder.
"That said, I think Crowie has one more great performance left in him at Kona, so I would never count him out," Welch says.
Welch sounds a warning in the form of German Sebastian Kienle, who has won back-to-back titles at the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship in Las Vegas in 2012 and 2013 and is noted for his prowess on the bike.
Jacobs is confident after an outstanding performance in winning IRONMAN 70.3 Sunshine Coast last month.
The defending champion says he is not fazed by that mantle this year.
"No ressure. I am still only focused on my race and my abilities, no matter what other people say. My expectations are higher than anyone else's. There is no party until after the race. It's all business before the race," Jacobs said.
The charge from down under also includes IRONMAN New Zealand champion Bevan Docherty in just his second IRONMAN after his record-breaking debut in Taupo.
He has just arrived in Kona, but is relatively confident.
"I would have liked to have come over a month ago and prepared on the course, but I am a family man now and I need a balance," Docherty said. "If I spend too much time away from my family it gets me down. I did not want to remove myself from that environment and was quite happy preparing at home in Santa Cruz.
"Ironman is still new to me. I have only done one, so there is all the small stuff that I am still learning. But all the hard work is done. I can do very little now to change this. I am very fit and I am ready to go."
Double IRONMAN winner Luke Bell is in the form of his life. Other Australians in the field include IRONMAN Cairns winner Luke McKenzie, Chris Legh and Clayton Fettell.
Former winner Miranda Carfrae is the leading hope from Asia Pacific in the women's field, having recently returned to her former coach Siri Lindley. The results were almost immediate with runner-up in Racine and a win in Muskoka over the IRONMAN 70.3 distance.
"I still think I can go faster," Carfrae said. "I still think I can improve as an athlete. My best performances are yet to come on this island."
The well-performed Kiwi, Gina Crawford, seventh last year, has been in outstanding form this year including a win at Sunshine Coast last month and a lighter schedule this year, which she hopes will give her more energy for the final 10 km on the run.
Multi-IRONMAN winner Rebekah Keat is part of a strong Asia Pacific troupe that also includes Kiwis Britta Martin and Anna Ross, along with IRONMAN Australia winner Rebecca Hoschke.

Saint John's Prairie
History: In 1991, the prairie was planted with forty-eight hundred individual plants and seeds of ninety species of prairie grasses and flowers on the fifty acre restoration. This was an important project to undertake since less than one percent of Minnesota's original prairie remains today.
Management: Every year part of our restored prairie is burned, much as it happens in nature. Fires are nature's way to renew the prairie for another growing season. We also weed aggressive non-native plants like dock, wormwood sage, sweet clover and thistle.
Interesting tidbits: After a fire, flowers bloom from April to October, and tall prairie grasses can grow over six feet tall by August. The prairie is a beautiful and dramatic habitat that continually changes through the seasons.

Stamford native returns home with "The Book of Mormon"
"This role is perfect for him. It's just his kind of humor." Michael Limone, theater teacher
Back in 2000, before Christopher John O'Neill departed Stamford for New York City to seek a career in comedy, he was given a simple, bound book by his high school chorus teacher -- a reminder of where he had been and a place to record his aspirations for the future.
"I give all my graduating seniors a blank journal, and I write `fill this up as you go,' " said Gloria Sinaguglia, who has taught music at Stamford High School for 25 years. "When he told me that he had read the words for inspiration, I was floored. It touched my heart."
For O'Neill, 31, those words, and the encouragement from friends and family, were crucial as he made it through round after round of auditions to play the part of Elder Cunningham in the first national tour of the Tony Award-winning musical, "Book of Mormon." For the past 15 months, he has been doing just that, taking in the whole experience with the wide-eyed curiosity and enthusiasm he infuses in the character every time he takes the stage.
"It's all been very surreal," O'Neill said, while on the road with the show. It will run at the Bushnell in Hartford from March 18 to 30. "It hasn't hit me yet."
O'Neill plays an earnest, but bumbling, missionary who sets off to Uganda with Elder Price to make a difference in the lives of some villagers. Things don't go exactly as planned, and Cunningham has to rise to the occasion. The role, which marks O'Neill's professional debut in musical theater, somewhat mirrors O'Neill's own experience. He never expected to be in a musical, let alone performing in the first one created by two of his idols, "South Park" creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker. But, as his character Cunningham discovers, stranger things can happen.
"Growing up, I basically wanted to be a soccer star," said O'Neill, who grew up in Stamford, where his parents, Karen and Rich, still live. He also has a brother, Brian. "That was my dream as a kid."
More InformationIf you go
The Bushnell Center for the Performing Arts, 166 Capitol Ave., Hartford. Tuesday, March 18, to Sunday, March 30. Tickets start at $36. 888-824-2874, BookofMormonTheMusical.com, www.bushnell.org.
Instead, by the time he had reached high school, he had become a good musician, the perk of living with a father who plays multiple instruments, and had landed in Sinaguglia's concert choir class in an effort to pull up his grades. While not his first choice, he gave it a go and Sinaguglia soon appointed him leader of the tenors.
"It kept me motivated and focused," he said. "I was usually all over the place, but here I was doing well and making great friends."
By the time he was an upperclassman, he was performing in school plays and musicals, such as "Bye Bye Birdie," "South Pacific" and "Noises Off." Michael Limone, who was O'Neill's theater teacher, said O'Neill's path has been an interesting one.
"The thing is, this is the perfect role for him," said Limone. "It's just his kind of humor; he's perfect for it."
Limone said O'Neill was always a hysterical comedic actor with a beautiful voice, but he never aspired to be in musical theater. O'Neill's forte was comedy, at which he excelled, including several roles in summer productions at Stamford's Curtain Call theater company.
After high school, O'Neill headed off to New York City with his friend and comedy partner, Paul Valenti, to take their sketch comedy act, "The Chris and Paul Show," to stages across the city, later finding venues throughout the United States. But it was a stop at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2011 that caused their path to turn. A "Book of Mormon" casting director was there and asked the two to audition.
O'Neill said he and Valenti (who also made it through several rounds) were rooting for each other the whole time. He recalled a time during the auditions in Los Angeles when the two found a quiet spot in the hallway to take in the scene. "We looked around and saw all these younger guys around us, stressing out, and there was no fun to it. So we just reminded each other, `Let's have fun and appreciate where we are.' "
O'Neill said he is not thinking too far into the future, rather just channeling the energy he requires each time he brings Cunningham to life. "He is just this train wreck. He is just that guy, not up to par with the other Mormons. ... he's kind of the runt of the litter," he said. "I think what the audience likes about him is that he has this heart of gold, but he is just socially awkward. He is working so hard and getting so little back."
O'Neill's parents are experiencing the reverse. After years of watching their son work so hard to attain success, they are enjoying watching him gain the spotlight.
"The first time we saw it, at opening night in San Francisco, we all had tissues," said Karen O'Neill, who is an eighth grade teacher at Turn of River Middle School in Stamford, and said the tears freely flowed. Since then, she and her husband have made it to many other shows. Every time, she said, she still gets overwhelmed. "It's like having your kid on the pitcher's mound during the World Series every time."
The two said from the start they just wanted to see their kids do well and enjoy themselves. "We just want our kids to be happy," said Rich O'Neill.
Chris O'Neill, who got married last year, said the constant touring has become a lot easier since his wife, Jennifer, is traveling with him. And he is looking forward to returning home.
"As we have been traveling around, I am getting more and more excited as we get closer to Connecticut," he said. "As we come up to the Northeast, I'm getting that awesome feeling that I am getting close to home."

Since the first Consumer Electronics Show took place in New York City in 1967, CES has been the place to show off new technology and products, from the VCR to the DVD. Even though no one product has been of such revolutionary proportion in recent years, there's been a wider array of innovative technology. This year experts are expecting 3-D TVs, e-readers and netbooks to be hot topics.
Here's a look at several milestones at the industry event over the years.

JohnJAT needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 129 designs submitted by 46 freelance designers.
We are looking for a logo that conveys the experience and professionalism of our team and reflects the upscale, affluent nature of our client base. This logo should make clear that we are neither a quirky upstart nor a faceless corporate entity but rather an established, talented boutique-like firm.
Jennifer Ames Chicago
Jennifer Ames Chicago is a team of real estate professionals. We are a group of top-tier agents serving the luxury and high-end markets in Chicago proper.
We are not typical real estate agents. We are something of a boutique firm tailored to the city's more affluent clients. The homes we primarily list are luxury residences in Chicago's Lincoln Park, Gold Coast and Lakeview neighborhoods. These properties run the gamut from modern construction to vintage (late 1880s) buildings and from small condos to large, 8,000-square foot city homes. We serve both buyers and sellers in these categories. You can see our listings at http://www.jenniferames.com.
We need a logo that is suitable for use on signage, business cards, letterhead, websites, etc.
- The logo must have our tagline "Your Home. Our Expertise." to convey that we are a team, not an individual agent.- The logo should be elegant without being pretentious. Something along the lines of what might be seen on a law firm or a boutique shop (without confusing consumers as to the nature of our business) would be ideal.- A feature to the logo implying that we are a real estate company would be great. A stylized, vintage architectural element could be one possibility. No cliché real estate symbolism ("for sale" signs, house images, etc.).- The logo should be clean and classic – think Restoration Hardware or Pottery Barn.- The logo must be provided as a vector image (Illustrator CS2 compatible file).- We like PMS 577U color. We also like the colors that Restoration Hardware uses for their paint samples (http://www.restorationhardware.com). Prefer two-color design.- We would prefer that "Jennifer Ames" stand out a little more than "Chicago" in the logo.
- Generic city skylines- "Corporate" or "Web 2.0" style logos- Cliché real estate symbolism ("for sale" signs, house images, etc.)

I've been catching up on movies lately.
Mostly I've been renting films that I missed last year ("The Visitor," "Dark Knight," "In the Valley of Elah" — all definitely worth the rental, though a bit depressing to watch in close sequence). In theaters, I appreciated "Frost/Nixon" for the entertaining back story on the first political scandal I followed in the news, and I am anxious for more friends to see "Doubt" to be able to discuss it.
So I was interested in this take on "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," that I saw in the Catholic New World, the Chicago archdiocesan newspaper, by Sister Helena Burns, a member of the Daughters of St. Paul.
"The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" is a pro-death movie. Let me explain. We're all terminal. We're all dying. And "CCBB" says that's OK. Death isn't glorified or dressed up pretty (because, as one of the Fathers of the Church said, "death is a cosmic obscenity"). Death is just is what it is, a member of the human family. Not banished, not locked up, not thrown in the river. Death has its place at the table of life and is mentioned, talked of, thought of, expected, accepted.
"CCBB" is also a pro-life fairy tale. The characters are in each other's keep. They take care of each other whether they're white or black, young or old, healthy or deformed. Irregular babies and messy old people all belong and are loved by someone.
She goes on to flesh out those points, making the film sound like I'll move it from "maybe" to the "must see" list.

Toy Soldiers, an up-and-coming Philadelphia-based rock band, will perform at Pastorius Park at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, June 20, in a concert sponsored by WXPN 88.5 FM.
A young, gritty rock group that has been gaining steam in the music industry ever since its formation, Toy Soldiers started out as a duo in 2007. Ron Gallo, lead vocalist and guitarist, has seen his group undergo many changes until reaching its current incarnation as a five-piece band. Joining Gallo in the current Toy Soldiers lineup is Dominic Billet, drums; Matt Kelly, guitar; Bill McCloskey, bass, and Luke Leidy, keyboard.
The band defines its music as "a brand of soulful rock n' roll that takes its roots, puts it in a blender and pours out that good old feeling made for today." Toy Soldiers incorporates tones of the blues, country music and many other unique genres into one distinct, collective sound.
"Whisper Down the Lane," the band's debut album, was given high praise in the local music community. WXPN's "World Cafe Live" called it "a gritty, dirty collection of liquor-fueled Americana music … an undeniable barn-burner." Its follow-up record, "Get Through the Time," shifted the group to a more focused approach on songwriting, giving Toy Soldiers a more earnest delivery.
In 2011 alone, Toy Soldiers has played in more than 120 shows along the east coast and in the South, in venues ranging from large theaters to intimate, small bars. In January of this year, the band entered the studio with engineer/producer Bill Moriarty to start working on its third full-length record, due out this fall.
After laying down the tracks for its new album, Toy Soldiers began a month-long national tour in March, including performances at the celebrated SXSW festival in Austin, Texas.
The Pastorius Park Concert Series is presented by the Chestnut Hill Community Association and is made possible by grants from the Chestnut Hill Community Fund and Chestnut Hill Hospital.
All concerts begin at 7:30 p.m. The rain location for all concerts, except the June 13 opening show, will be at the lower school auditorium of Springside Chestnut Hill Academy, 8000 Cherokee St.
Decisions to move the concerts will be made after 6 p.m. Call 215-248-8810 to check on the day of the concert.
The Pastorius Park Concert Series is sponsored by the Chestnut Hill Community Association. To learn more about Toy Soldiers, visit http://ohnotoysoldiers.com.

We thoroughly enjoyed the 2012 Yamaha Super Ténéré when we rode it last year (yeah..do the math on those numbers). Properly thrashing the machine through the outskirts of Sedona, Arizona, the big-displacement Super T is fun adventure-tourer that balances Japanese bang-for-the-buck economics with a robust feature set normally reserved only for European machines.
So it is hard to imagine how Yamaha could improve on an already fine motorcycle (we guess the tuning fork brand could give the Super Ténéré away for free), but the Japanese manufacturer did so with its Yamaha Super Ténéré Worldcrosser concept.
A more rugged and off-road oriented variant of the Super T, the 2012 Yamaha Super Ténéré Worldcrosser seemed too-polished, and certainly too well received to avoid going into production, and sure enough, we have gotten word today that Yamaha has green-lit the Worldcrosser for production (we'll take one in competition white, please).

High-quality glasses have many benefits over cheap glasses. Higher-quality glasses are made from finer materials. This ensures the glasses will stay together and also hold the form they have been molded to. Cheap glasses frequently bend or break. Higher-quality glasses have a trusted company or designer name behind the product. This name is reflective of the quality of workmanship and trade that company is offering to you. Higher-quality glasses have a guarantee or warranty that allows you to have piece of mind when purchasing their glasses over an unknown name. Unfortunately, higher quality glasses also have the higher price tag that comes with such piece of mind and trade comfort.
Until recently, prescription eyeglasses could only be purchased after visiting an Ophthalmologist or Optometrist. Prices for a standard exam alone started around 0.00 and the limited selection of eyeglasses at the Ophthalmologist further discouraged the entire visit. To have glasses was to own one pair only.
It is not difficult to find the cheap rates of eye wear in today's world. People can easily get the low rates in such products by looking at the discount offers and the sales in such variety. Even some non-branded eye wear is available at such a low rate that any one, who is fond of wearing them, can purchase the glasses according to their personal interest. But then, the consciousness among the general public arises related to the cost effectiveness. Many people think that buying eye glasses cheaply might affect their eye sight and they do not want to compromise that by purchasing a cheap product. But it is to be corrected that today, there are many firms offering low rates in eye wear variety.

The failed Tim Tebow deal isn't the only reason Mike Tannenbaum is a former general manager now, but the old Jets boss is still defending the Jets backup quarterback, saying he still thinks he can succeed.
During the appearance on the NFL Network in which he said he regretted the Mark Sanchez extension, Tannenbaum held firm on his belief in Tebow.
"This is a guy who was successful in high school, won championships in college, and he's the type of person who's either going to be successful as a pro quarterback or die trying," Tannenbaum said, via the Newark Star-Ledger. "He's highly competitive. Obviously there's some skills he has to work on. He has to be a more consistent thrower from the pocket, we all know that; the accuracy. But with that, there are things he does bring to the table."
We'll find out in the coming weeks if anyone agrees with him. There can't be a trade market for him, not with the Jaguars publicly disavowing him as soon as general manager Dave Caldwell got the chance.
So if/when the Jets cut him, he'll be free for anyone to take a chance on. You can't rule out the Patriots bringing him around, because of Josh McDaniels' presence and Bill Belichick's tendency to take otherwise unwanted guys to prove he can make use of them. But beyond that, it's hard to find many quarterback depth charts that would be upgraded by his addition.

September 13, 2008
GRANVILLE, Ohio – Matt Hudson teamed Saturday with sophomore receiver Kody Lemond for three touchdowns to lead the Little Giants to an NCAC and season opening win, 41-27, at Denison. Hudson threw three more for a school record helping Coach Erik Raeburn to a win in his Wabash College debut.
With much of his stellar 2007 receiving corps gone to graduation, the junior quarterback made big use of the speedy sophomore - finding him on 8 passes for 177 yards. (View photos from the game here and here.) Football Blogs: View video comments from Coach Raeburn about the game, also a new entry by kicker Drew Oehler in the Little Giant Football Blog here. Little Giant Quarterback Matt Hudson has updated his student blog here. Jim Amidon writes about and shares photos of that spectacular Lemond catch in the Public Affairs FYI blog here.
None of the catches were as exciting or important as a 41-yard tipped pass with just 10 seconds left in the first half. A Big Red defender deflected the pass near the end zone and high into the air, Lemond dove and caught it in the back of the end zone.
"Oh man, I kind blacked out on that," Lemond said. "I really don't remember how that happened. It was a comeback and go where I run 15 yards and break out then break back. He didn't really bite on it. The defender played it well; he just tipped it at the last second. I just tried to locate the ball and fortunately it was not uncatchable and I got it."
The catch stymied a late first-half Denison rally. The Big Red had pulled to within one, 14-13, with under a minute to play. The diving-Lemond catch changed the momentum back to the Little Giants at the half, 21-13.
"Kody made some amazing plays today," Hudson praised. "That one down in the end zone that he tipped was unbelievable. He bailed me out quite a bit because, honestly, the passes I threw weren't very good today. "
Hudson was perhaps a bit modest. His six touchdown throws tied a record set by Jake Knott in 2000. If it wasn't modesty, it might have been a touch of nerves. Wabash graduated most of its receiving corps and traveled with three freshmen wideouts on the roster.
"The perceived weakness of our offensive team going into the season was the receiving corps," Hudson said. "We can't mince words, they didn't have much experience other than Andrew Rode and of course Brock (Graham). But the outside guys Wes (Chamblee) and Kody hadn't really had that much experience.'
Rode, who has donned the No. 1 jersey, had six catches for 109 yards including a 60-yard second half score. Chamblee pulled in six for 39 yards and added a 62-yard kickoff return. Graham had a mere three catches for 34 yards but made the most of them with two touchdowns.
The Little Giants accumulated 501 yards of total offense to Denison's 327. The running game accounted for 110 yards with Bobby Kimp picking up 70 with a long of 18 yards.
"I thought we did alright offensively," Raeburn said. "We had some mistakes but I felt like we shot ourselves in the foot more times than they just out-executed us. Those mistakes are easy to fix. I thought we passed and threw for more yards than I would have guessed we'd be able to with all the experience they had back in their secondary."
After the spectacular half-ending Lemond grab, the Little Giants seemingly took control of the game.
Hudson found Lemond again and then threw a 60-yard TD to Rode and an 11-yard score to Graham. The junior quarterback threw for 391 yards on 26 completions in 35 attempts.
To Denison's credit, the Big Red came back with two late touchdowns after trailing 41-13.
"I was a little disappointed," Coach Erik Raeburn said of the Denison comeback. "I thought we had a chance to close it out. We had some penalties and some mistakes to let them back in it."
Penalties were a big Wabash problem, particularly on defense. The Little Giants were flagged 13 times for 128 yards.
"It feels like we had about 500 yards worth of penalties, maybe not quite that bad but that's what it felt like," Raeburn said. "Some of that I think can be attributed to it being our first game but some of it is just a lack of concentration. So we need to get that cleaned up."
Senior Josh Gangloff led the Wabash defense with nine tackles. Derrin Slack added eight stops. Bryan Watson and James Pannell each had seven tackles.
Raeburn admitted he had heard from plenty of friends and Wabash faithful about getting his first win. "Everybody keeps giving me a hard time about it," he said. "So my response has been you can't get the second one until you get the first."
The 1-0 Little Giants host the University of Chicago Saturday. Denison (1-1) has a bye week.
