Lab Work - Suggestions, Advice?
Lab Work - Suggestions, Advice?
Hi, I was hoping if someone here could help me in analyzing my test results and what my next step/tests should be. Im going to go to the Endo in the next month and Id like to be prepared as possible to discuss my options, so I am appealing to the knowledge base here.
23 years old
63 220 lbs Used to be 340 lbs, but was able to cut down to 204, and now am settled at 220
Weight loss plateau Taken about a year to lose 10lbs, just doesnt want to fall off anymore. Changed diets, workout patterns, spoken to nutritionists, nothing has been effective.
Low Energy
Poor sleeping patterns sometimes I can get to sleep fine, other times Ill be lying there till 4 before I finally drift off
Hair loss Started losing/thinning hair at 12 and it kept going on for 9 years. Its a diffuse loss on all parts of the head, with the sides too, so pretty sure isnt MPB
Sparse facial /body hair
Test Results-

Thank you so much for looking at this and giving any insight, I appreciate it greatly. If there are any tests I'm missing that I should get or something I should definitely retest, please let me know.
Thanks again!

Just got another set of labs back. These are as of 5/24/2013
The CRP is probably high because I was slightly sick. I seem to always get sick whenever anyone else gets sick, and it lasts for months.
Find out why e2 is high may help SHBG.
Then you wonder why you are having issues
VEGETARIAN DIET -- Enough said. You are doing more damage to intestinal tract ..See it as your SHBG is going up

Any other tests I should get done to try to narrow the cause of all this down? My Dr. told me that my E2 was high because of my belly fat and that as I lose weight it should drop to normal, but it has been a war trying to lose this weight which is why I went to him in the first place, so that was little help.
Dang... well that's some irony... the whole reason I went veggie heavy was because I was told it resulted in less inflammation!
How would I know if there is a GI problem? Elimination diet or is there a blood panel that helps narrow things down?
Going to get a full Thyroid profile (FT3, FT4, TSH, TPO, ATA) and see how things are looking there as of 2013.
Sorry for all the questions, just trying to get actionable steps to make a discussion with my Endo more productive.
Methylation Analysis from GeneticGenie (don't know if anyone has any experience with such, but just throwing it up here to combine all my data for my own sake at the very least)
If you have candida or yeast you are really screwed, You have a greater chance of having NASH from acetylaldhydes due to the intestinal dysbosis. With this profile I would highly get check for h pylori and other pathogenic bacteria as you ability to detoxify ammonia is also down regulated by specific mutation. This is giving me a small snap shot. Check out MTHFRsupport application it blows these away..
I would highly consider not go no where near dairy with what I am currently seeing in what little information was shown.
Do not engage methyl b-12 or methyl folate at this time...If any one tells you different has no clue of what they are talking about. Sorry to be so blunt, but its the truth. This is what I deal with on a daily basis, helping balance people who went to Doctors who were not educated or did not know how to treat methylation. This trend is slowly changing as I am helping educate medical professionals on what will be the future of medicine..

Bulldogs Beat Holy Cross 5-1, Quinnipiac 4-2
STONY BROOK, N.Y. – After struggling at the plate in its first eight games, it was only matter of time before the Yale softball team broke out. Sunday was the day. Yale banged out 14 hits in a pair of victories – 5-1 over Holy Cross and 4-2 over Quinnipiac. Both games were part of the Stony Brook Invitational at University Field.
Christy Nelson and Mariclaire Rebman both had two hits for the Bulldogs in the victory over Holy Cross. Kayla Kuretich pitched well, striking out nine and allowing only four hits. In her last two games, Kuretich has 23 strikeouts and has issued only two walks.
Yale (2-8) trailed the Crusaders 1-0 after three innings, but scored twice in the fourth and three times in the sixth.
Ashley Sloan started the rally in the fourth with a single up the middle. She moved to second on a passed ball, advanced to third on Jennifer Ong's bunt single and scored on a wild pitch. Nelson knocked in the second run with a single.
Back-to-back doubles by Nelson and Mariclaire Rebman started the sixth and increased Yale's lead to 3-1. Lauren Huddleston followed with an RBI single, and Sloan drew a walk with the bases loaded to cap the scoring.
Kuretich cruised through the final innings, retiring eight of the last nine batters she faced.
The Bulldogs (2-8) wasted little time getting on the board against Quinnipiac, scoring twice in the first inning and two more times in the second. Meg Johnson had two hits and two RBI to lead the Yale attack. Holly Gutterud, who pitched the first five innings, and Jackie Manzer combined to strike out seven.
Ong started the first inning rally by drawing a walk, and she promptly stole second. Nelson then reached on an error, and Johnson followed with a two-run double to left-center.
In the second, Kelsey Warkentine led off with a single. She was erased on Lexi Peacock's fielder's choice. Chelsey Locarno then reached on an error and Sloan walked to load the bases. Ong also walked to force home Yale's third run and Nelson's RBI ground out made it 4-0.
Kate Allendorfer homered for the Bobcats (10-13) in the fourth and Angela Casella added an RBI single in the fifth.
Manzer retired all six batters she faced to earn her first career save.
The Bulldogs return to action on Wednesday when they play a doubleheader at Marist. The first pitch of the first game is slated for 2:30 p.m.

Transfer news: Radamel Falcao joins Manchester United from Monaco on season-long loan
Last Updated: 02/09/14 11:01am
Manchester United have signed Monaco striker Radamel Falcao on a season-long loan with an option to buy.
The deal for the Colombia forward dragged on throughout Deadline Day and was finally made public long after 1am on Tuesday with the Old Trafford club having been granted an extension to complete paperwork.
Falcao was previously linked with moves to Arsenal and Manchester City, but it became apparent earlier on Monday that United were ready to dig deep to sign him to add to their attacking options.
His arrival at the club's Aon Training Complex at Carrington was delayed and there was talk during the evening that he had failed a medical, although that proved to be completely groundless.
Falcao said: "I am delighted to be joining Manchester United on loan this season.
"Manchester United is the biggest club in the world and is clearly determined to get back to the top. I am looking forward to working with Louis van Gaal and contributing to the team's success at this very exciting period in the club's history."
He later told MUTV: "It was a very long day. It was hard, difficult. We were waiting until the last minute but I didn't lose my faith. Now I want to say thank you to God for this. I'm very happy.
"For me, it was a dream to play in the Premier League. I always wanted to be here because this league is very good, it has very good teams and Manchester United is the best team in England. Everything is perfect for me.
"We have very top players. I admire them. I want to meet them for the first time. I am sure that this season will be great for us."
United manager Louis van Gaal added: "I am delighted Radamel has joined us on loan this season. He is one of the most prolific goalscorers in the game. His appearance-to-goal ratio speaks for itself and, when a player of this calibre becomes available, it is an opportunity not to be missed."
Falcao has been plying his trade in Europe since Porto signed him for just over £3m from Argentinian side River Plate back in 2009.
After a prolific spell in Portugal, he joined Atletico Madrid in 2011, where more success in front of goal followed, and then secured a move to Monaco last summer for a fee in excess of £50m, but injuries badly affected his first season in France as he scored nine goals in 17 appearances.
He missed out on the World Cup with Colombia because of a serious knee injury suffered in January but scored two goals in his first three games this season with the French outfit.
The 28-year-old is the latest big-money arrival at Old Trafford this summer in the wake of van Gaal's appointment as manager.
Deadline day also saw the arrival of Ajax player Daley Blind, who can operate in defence and in midfield and is well known to van Gaal from his time as Netherlands coach - he cost United around £14m.
Van Gaal finalised a British record £59.7m deal for Real Madrid midfielder Angel di Maria last week and the Argentina international made his debut in the 0-0 draw with Burnley on Saturday.
United's summer business also included the signing of Southampton defender Luke Shaw, di Maria's international colleague Marcos Rojo and Atletico Bilbao midfielder Ander Herrera.

When a Wisconsin potato farmer and logger teamed up to rescue a black bear with its head stuck in a milk can, they never imagined the reaction their efforts would get.
"It got a little more action than we thought we were going to get," says potato farmer Dennis West.
Bears may be a common sight on his farm, but a bear struggling with a milk can on its head, is something else.
"He was actually walking around with it on his head like a cow with a bucket on his head, he was walking around with it then he'd sit down and try to pull it off almost like Winnie the Pooh does with that honey jar," explains Garrett Smith, a logger who also witnessed it.
So the two guys had an idea to take their forwader used for lifting wood, and remove the 35 pound milk can from the distressed bear's head.

FERNDALE – A home-repair man faces charges that he stole a car and then stole part of a furnace at a house he was working on in Ferndale before he was arrested.
James Idzikowski, 36, of Milford is jailed on $50,000 bond and is due in Ferndale 43rd District Court for a pre-exam conference Thursday with co-defendant Jeremy Sweeney, 24, of Highland Park. Sweeney is in jail on $25,000 bond.
Both suspects are charged with breaking and entering with intent, a 10-year felony. Idzikowski is additionally charged with receiving and concealing a stolen motor vehicle, a five-year felony.
Idzikowski is a parolee and police said he is a longtime drug user who was given a chance to work on a vacant house in the 300 block Farmdale by the owner, who also lives in Milford.
"Apparently when the suspect is not doing drugs he is a good carpenter," said Ferndale Police Detective John Thull. "The owner of the house knows the suspect and tried to give him a chance."
Police said both suspects broke into the Farmdale Street house and stole a furnace shroud and duct work on Oct. 2.
Idzikowski stole the car, a Chevy Cobalt, a day earlier from a woman he knows in Green Oak Township in Livingston County, police said.
Police arrested both suspects on Eight Mile Road after a neighbor called police as they drove away from the house.
The owner of the house in late September had told several neighbors to call police if they saw Idzikowski at the house when the owner wasn't there, police said.
The owner's warning stemmed from an incident in late September when Idzikowski stole a number of carpenter's tools from the house that belonged to the owner, police said.
"Idzikowski told the owner that a drug dealer took the tools from the house in lieu of money the suspect owed the drug dealer," Thull said.
The owner went with Idzikowski to the drug dealer's house in Detroit and bought the tools back for several hundred dollars, police said.
The owner later discovered a hot water heater and the heating core of the furnace had also been stolen from the house.

A new front opened today in the patent wars between large technology companies, as a consortium that owns thousands of patents from the Nortel bankruptcy auction filed suit against Google and other manufacturers alleging infringement. Rockstar, which is owned jointly by Apple, Blackberry, Ericsson, Microsoft, and Sony, filed suit in US District Court in Texas. In addition to Google, the consortium has alleged infringement by Asus, HTC, Huawei, LG, Pantech, Samsung, and ZTE.
Since then, as recounted by Wired, Rockstar has been devoted to reverse-engineering the patents and looking for evidence of infringement. "Pretty much anybody out there is infringing," John Veschi, the CEO of Rockstar, told the magazine. "It would be hard for me to envision that there are high-tech companies out there that don't use some of the patents in our portfolio."
I told you Apple and Microsoft were patent trolls. They specifically set up a satellite company that owns nothing but patents, with the sole goal of attacking the competition in the courtroom instead of the market. What a bunch of low-life scum.
I'm surprised by Sony there, though. They use Android themselves.

To read all comments associated with this story, please click here.
It is a company that has no products, but only patents. They are now attacking with those patents. On top of that, the company itself has admitted that its only job is to reverse-engineer other people's products to see if they infringe, adding that according to them, every technology company infringes upon them.
So yes, they have been set up with the sole purpose of patent trolling, and Apple, Microsoft, and Sony are complicit in it. I know you somehow manage to simply ignore anything that doesn't fit into your view of Apple as God's Gift To The World, but it will be hard for you to get rid of this one - but I'm sure you'll amuse us with your attempts.
Those attacks - which are fucking lame and just as bad - started before Google bought Motorola. Doesn't make them any less of a group of assholes for continuing them.

This weekend we visited these sites while exploring Minuteman National Historical Park. Very cool :-)
It's kinda fun to know our city was once one of the "Middlesex villages and farms" from which poured some 20,000 militiamen to drive the British back to their garrison on the (at that time) island of Boston.
At the time of the revolution, Lowell was nothing more than a farm. Today it is fourth largest city in Massachusetts and one of the twin county seats of Middlesex county.
Boston, meanwhile, has more than tripled in land area, sprawling into Massachusetts Bay across more than 2,000 acres of landfill into the present home of some 4.5 million
An additional note for all the literary buffs out there: we discovered that Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, and Nathaniel Hawthorne each called Corcord home during parts of their lives. Interesting.

Dear all,
Since I've upgraded from SuSE 8.2 to 9.2 I have the following problem: when I wake up my screen after the screensaver has been working a while the screen flickers. This does not happen if the screensaver has only been active for a few seconds but when it's been going so long that it actually stopped and the screen went black. Then when I reactivate the screen it flickers for a while (something like 10 or 15 minutes) in a very annoying way.
My computer is a Toshiba Satellite 1410-604 laptop with SuSE 9.2.
Can anyone tell me where to look and what to look for to solve this ?
Kind regards,

Texas continued to have the highest rate of people without health insurance in 2012 at 24.6 percent, according to the Current Population Survey estimates released by the U.S. Census Bureau on Tuesday.
"Texas has often had the highest uninsured rate throughout the country," said David Johnson, chief of the Census Bureau's Social, Economic and Housing Statistics Division. He added that additional data from the American Community Survey that the Census Bureau plans to release later this week would provide more specific information on health insurance rates in states and metropolitan areas.
The Current Population Survey estimates revealed that the national uninsured rate declined in 2012, to 15.4 percent from 15.7 percent in 2011. The national real median income and official poverty rate were not statistically different in 2011 and 2012, according to the estimates.
Overall, roughly 48 million Americans — including more than 6 million Texans — were uninsured in both 2011 and 2012. For those who had health insurance coverage, the percent with private coverage remained stagnant at close to 64 percent, while the percent enrolled in government health programs, such as Medicare or Medicaid, increased for the sixth consecutive year to 32.6 percent in 2012.
"The increase in public coverage and no statistical change in private coverage may account for the increase in overall coverage," said Johnson.
Although more than 1 million children in Texas are uninsured, the majority of uninsured Texans are adults between age 18 and 65. In total, 19.7 million Texans had health coverage during some point in 2012; 14.5 million had private coverage, while 7.3 million were covered by government health insurance.
On Monday, Gov. Rick Perry reiterated his opposition to solving the state's uninsured problem by expanding Medicaid to low-income adults, and instead, directed the state agency that oversees the program to pursue permission to reform the program.
Specifically, Perry requested that the agency seek a waiver that allows the state to make changes to the program without receiving federal approval, continue asset- and resource testing to determine eligibility, and initiate cost-sharing initiatives, such as co-payments, premiums and deductibles, among other reforms.
The waiver "should give Texas the flexibility to transform our program into one that encourages personal responsibility, reduces dependence on the government, reins in program cost growth and efficiently improves coordination of care," Perry wrote in a letter to the agency.
If Texas had chosen to expand Medicaid eligibility under the Affordable Care Act to include impoverished adults below 138 percent of the federal poverty level, the program could have extended coverage to an additional 2 million people, according to a report by Billy Hamilton, former deputy state comptroller and fiscal consultant.
The federal government would have covered 100 percent of those recipients' benefits for three years, and then reduced its share to 90 percent in later years. In the 2014-15 biennium, Texas would have received $7.7 billion in federal funds, while spending $297 million to cover poor adults, according to Hamilton's estimates. Medicaid expansion would have cost the state six times less than the amount local governments and hospitals currently on uncompensated care for uninsured adults, according to Hamilton's report.

Most people have cheated at least once in their lives, whether it was for missed or incomplete work, or even just for credit that you didn't deserve. But this is not right; in fact, it is unethical and unfair. Taking the work of others and using it as your own is not the right thing to do. It shows a lack of responsibility as well as a lack of knowledge. For example, if a student cheats using a classmate's exam paper, he is taking credit for another's work. If the tea-cher catches him, the consequences are usually failure.
Cheating by using the work of others is the same as ruining your life with drugs. It is not only unnecessary and foolish, it can also start to be addicting in many ways. If a student constantly cheats, then it may become a habit in the future. Besides, no one needs to cheat. We all have brains that we can use and also teachers, parents, and peers to help us. Anyway, it's not like we will succeed in life if we continuously cheat. There is no need to ruin both your education and your life by cheating.
Cheaters usually suffer many consequences. In the beginning when the student is in grade school, cheating may only lead to losing credit and going to the principal's office. In middle school, there will be Saturday detentions, suspensions, and even parent-teacher conferences. But in high school, college, and the rest of a person's life, cheating will not be tolerated. If a college student uses a quote from a book or website and doesn't cite where the information came from, that is plagiarism. This form of credit-taking does not just have minor consequences but can also land you in jail, ruin your record for certain jobs, tear apart your relationships with family and friends, and jeopardize your future.
Every day as you pass through a teen-infested hallway, there will be at least one person madly scribbling away on a piece of paper trying to match it with the one from their peers. This all can occur right before the bell signals the start of a new school day. Why do they have to do this? Will those extra 10 points have a huge impact on their grade and also remind them to do their homework in the future? The clear answer is no! Why can't they just tell their teachers the truth? By copying, the cheater learns nothing and the teacher will never know if they copied their homework or if they did it themselves.
Of all things, taking credit for others' work is not only unnecessary but quite unreasonable as well. If we all just do our work, then there is no need to cheat. We should make an effort for our education instead of taking the easy way out. But most important, if we all work hard instead of cheating, then everyone will live a prosperous and successful life.

It has been a severe and relentless winter and many people are ready for spring to get here to enjoy the beauty of garden landscapes bursting with beautiful fragrant flowers, birds chirping, and butterflies fluttering about.
There has been record breaking snow that for the most part has been fairly dry without damaging ice build up which breaks the branches.
From a horticultural point of view, this snow has provided nature's best insulation from the single digit temperatures to all the dormant perennials and shrubs below the snow. Even though the snow is deep, it is still relatively light and not breaking branches. However, the multiple polar vortex weather phenomena's and all the sunny winter days have been torturing many of trees and shrubs, and it shows. When there are cold sunny winter days, it usually means there are also clear winter nights which explains the incredible temperature drops to the negative single digits.
Residents are just starting to see the results of this double punch of weather, particularly on evergreen trees and shrubs in the way of severe sun burn on the leaves and needles. This is caused by a combination of very bright light reflection from the snow and severe low temperatures that cause the leaves and needles to literally dry out and turn brown. This is because the soil below is also frozen and the roots cannot absorb moisture to replenish water lost in the leaves.
The other issues are that many of the flower buds on the early blooming trees and shrubs may have also been damages and just will not open this year. Certain thin barked trees, such as Japanese Maples will split from the cold from a condition called "sunscald". We generally have more damage in the spring after all the snow melts with a few teaser 65 degree days to be followed by a sudden 40 degree drop at night. Who knows where all the water from the melting snow is going to go if we have a sudden heat wave?
Mother Nature does have a backup plan for this. The evergreens like yews, rhododendrons, holly and boxwoods, pines, spruce, and arborvitae will turn brown and drop as the weather warms up. Although this is very stressful on the plants, new growth will emerge and push the rest of the dead needles and leaves out of the way and greet you with green.
The bark that split from the cold will take a few years to heal, but the best thing to do is leave it alone and do not put any kind of paint over the wound to allow for faster healing.
This spring, landscape should be treated as if recovering from a long lingering illness. It is more harmful to brush off the snow when it is cold than to leave it alone. Feed them in the spring with a good organic fertilizer, instead of a high powered chemical form, to encourage a measured recovery. Treat yourself with some beautiful flowers from your local independent florist to make up for the loss of blooms on your favorite trees and shrubs. Be prepared for the reality that some plants may need to be replaced.

"I get asked a lot, 'Why are so many activists also artists?'" said Alice Zinnes, a light, color, and design professor at New York's Pratt Institute.
"I think it's because we're more willing to think outside the box and be creative," said Zinnes. She pointed to her hat, which was decorated with colorful pins displaying anti-fracking messages. "People can visually tell I'm a nut, but they can also tell that I care about this issue, and they often ask me about it. To me this doesn't feel overly creative, it just seems obvious, but to most people it comes off as extraordinarily passionate, and they want to know more."
While Zinnes said that, out of respect, she doesn't project her own political beliefs and activism onto her students, she's pleased that over the years she's noticed more students start to take a stand for things they care about.
"A few years ago, student activists were abnormal. Now, I'm seeing a trend towards more involvement," she said.
These days, it does seem student activism is on the rise. Through involvement in Occupy Wall Street and subsequent occupations of various college campuses, students have made it known that they want to be involved in the change our country needs. All over America, students are rising to action when they feel something needs to be fixed.
In Sacramento, a proposal to cut grant funding crucial for many California students to attend college was dropped on March 8 when students and faculty rallied at the capitol building. Earlier this month, University of Virginia students held a 13-day hunger strike to bring attention to the need for a living wage at their university. And on March 20, after two months of blockading a campus branch of US Bank, University of California, Davis' students succeeded in getting the bank to permanently close the branch.
This sort of student involvement is exactly what Zinnes likes to see. Shortly after the September 11 attacks, Zinnes remembers being confused at the lack of response to the situation.
"We were so close to the attacks that you could see the smoke from campus, but the only thing that changed on campus was a student painted the canon [one of the school's statues] camouflage. That was gone within the week."
Now, Zinnes can be proud of not only the student activist efforts across the country, but those at her own school. Pratt Institute, an art college in Brooklyn, is home to many student activists, as well, and these activists utilize their creative expression to bring about change.
On February 13, Ryan Carson and Michelle Betters, two sophomore students, put together a five-hour pop-up art show outside the cafeteria. The goal of the show was to take over a space and transform it. They pulled together 18 student artists to donate pieces, which they hung on the walls for students and faculty to see on their way to in to eat.
Carson and Betters are two of the more involved Pratt students; they've organized student walk-outs in support of Occupy Wall Street, protested for professor health care coverage and organized a group, called the Pratt Collective, for students who want to get more involved.
After spending a semester thoroughly invested in the health care issue - only 29 percent of Pratt's faculty have health care, and only full-time teachers and a few adjunct teachers are eligible for it - they are pleased that the leader of Pratt's union, Kye Carbone, has been negotiating for the professors' benefits. If negotiations go as planned, 300 more faculty members would be offered benefits, upping the percentage of those covered to 65 percent.
With those negations in the works, this semester Carson and Betters have been focusing on the issue of space and occupation. After participating in several protests in conjunction with Occupy Wall Street, Carson and Betters decided to bring what they learned to the school. The pop-up show was put together in one weekend and was designed to start a conversation about space on campus, and about how students can more effectively use it. Retaking public space was an integral part of the OWS movement, and these two students wanted to generate something of that effect in an area that meant something to them: their college campus.
"We didn't ask permission; we just took over a space," Betters said. The administration, if it noticed the act, didn't say anything about it, which prompted Betters pose a question: If there didn't seem to be repercussions, "Why aren't people taking over space more often?"
"For an art school, you don't really see a lot of art," Carson lamented about the state of his school. "Pratt tries to keep everything looking so neat ,and it's just so boring. I wish we could have art everywhere."
The two students are not art majors, but writing majors. However, they still understand the importance of art in activism.
"Making art is way more powerful a statement than anything you can simply say," Zinnes said in a lecture about using art for activism that Carson and Betters helped to orchestrate alongside Pratt's chapter of NYPIRG (New York Public Interest Research Group).
Digital artist Yechiam Gal was also in attendance at the lecture, and he agreed: "Art is political. It's beyond shapes and colors. It's what you, as a citizen, have to say. My work is always political. The substance of my work is the human condition."
Gal showcased his most recent work, a video warning of the dangers of fracking. The film, though not complete, was moving, as he interviewed local citizens in affected fracking areas and used an echo effect to play their pleas for clean water over and over again as the screen switched to display images of clear running water mingled with gas explosions and fires.
Betters, Carson and NYPIRG hope these kinds of lectures will encourage more people to start being active through their own art.
"Students have so much power, and they don't realize it. We just want to get more students speaking out and being aware of the space around them," Betters said. Carson agreed and added how important collaboration could be.
"Working to create something together as students would just be the dream result of all this," he said.
Both goals seem to be coming to fruition as a result of the first pop-up show.
"People saw what we were doing and wanted to get involved," Carson said. "We acquired ten more pieces just from students coming and tacking their pieces on the walls alongside the others."
"The goal is not to anger or offend," said Betters, "but first to say, 'Here is our space,' and then to ask, 'What should we do with it?'"
What Betters and Carson plan to do with it is hold more shows.
"I want to literally have them pop up anywhere. I want to have a really small one in an elevator so people are forced to look at the art," he said. "Our obligation is to reclaim the spaces that we have and to bring new meaning to a space that isn't being used to its full potential."
Carson and Betters are encouraging many other students to start participating in activism more, both through their pop-up shows and through the Pratt Collective.
"Students expressed a lot of interest in participating in future shows. We had a sign-up sheet for contributions and we received a lot of signatures," Carson said.
"This year feels different," Zinnes said about student activism. "I have some students who really do care."
"On a scale of importance from one to ten, I think student activism is a 20," said Zinnes. "It's cheesy, but students are who inherit the world. That's what matters. I am going to be gone and irrelevant soon, but there's still time for students to get involved and make difference."
Since their February show, Carson and Betters have organized another show for this coming Sunday, March 25, in conjunction with Occupy Town Square. The show is open to the public and runs from 11 AM to 7 PM in Fort Greene Park, Brooklyn, New York.

Comcast Internet, wireless network with Airport Extreme and Airport Express(es)

My goal is to have two sets of wireless speakers and a hard drive set up on a wireless network so I can access them from my MacBook. The problem that I'm running into is that the internet is first running through my wireless router provided from Comcast, AND I have people in my townhouse that use the wireless internet also. The way I thought it should be set up was as follows: cable wire to Comcast wireless router, ethernet cable from Comast router to Airport Extreme and Airport Expresses connected to their necessary speaker systems. The Airport expresses have been formatted to connect to the Airport Extreme, but I've understood that Comcast has a maximum allowable "units" at 5. When I connect the Airport Extreme to the Comcast router, am I just checking off each of the 5 "units" as they communicate with the Extreme.
I've thought that I can't connect to the Comcast internet wirelessly AND the Airtunes at the same time, so is there a installation format for the extreme that would allow me to do all of this at once?
comcast would have no idea how many machines are accessing the network. they just know the MAC address of your modem, and the bandwitdth allowed and used. there might be a limitation in the airport. unless your comcast equpiment is different than mine, but i'm guessing you have a coax cable going to the back of a modem that has an ethernet and maybe usb connection on it, and that the ethernet cable from the modem goes directly to your airport - and that should be the bottleneck as that is actually your router.
how many others are using your wireless?Please participate in our Member of the Month polls. Every vote counts! And remember to use the user reputation system!

I have a PC desktop hardwired from the comcast router (yes, I'm slowly transitioning off the PC), then there's my MacBook via wireless, and there's a pc desktop and pc laptop upstairs accessing via wireless.
My landlord was on the phone with the Comcast help desk and Comcast had listed off the names of my airport expresses and my airport extreme, so they must know who's on the network.

- Specs:
- Currently Powerbook 17" + ibook... also have quite a collection all the way back to a Classic II
I also have a problem with my Comcast modem + airport extreme. If I plug my airport extreme right into my modem - it does seem to connect (light turns green), but my computers don't find it - no internet access.... however, if I plug a router into the Comcast modem and then the airport out of the modem - no problem!! Any suggestions?

I have the express plugged into my comcast modem and it plays itunes not problem. I can also surf at the same time. In fact thats what I am doing now.
BTW I have never in my life seen customer service as bad as comcast. They know nothing. They think I have 2 modems and three routers.

any updates?
cable wire to Comcast wireless router
ethernet cable from Comast router --> Airport Extreme and Airport Expresses.
The Airport expresses have been formatted to connect to the Airport Extreme, but I've understood that Comcast has a maximum allowable "units" at 5.[\QUOTE]
I see a problem possibly. Typically the Comcast device is a "Glorified Ethernet Modem", with input of COAX, and output of Ethernet. Does you Cable Modem have more than one Ethernet port?
Even so, NAT should fix all this... Say even your Comcast Modem has more than one port, you can assign the AP Extreme to use the gateway or static IP of the modem, or set the AP Extreme automatically with DHCP. Might have to try to restart the Modem then AP Extreme to ensure the DHCP is being sent to the AP Extreme. If this does not prove to work manually input the IP of the Comcast modem... Mine was 192.168.1.100, but that was a long time ago - Motorolla Surfboard 6200. Hopefully at this point your AP Extreme should be talking to Modem. Then have the AP Express to use the gateway of the AP Extreme (192.168.1.1). This should almost be automatic, but might be required to be plugged in.
Unless I'm missing something, or lost the concept of what your trying to do this fore mentioned would be my starting point.
Good luck,

Now that Ben Affleck has shaved his good-luck Oscar beard, we believe it's safe to officially close the book on the 2012-13 awards season so we can cast a small peek at the treasures that await. What will the coming best picture race look like? Here are 10 candidates:
"The Great Gatsby" (May 10): Director, Baz Luhrmann; cast, Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan, Tobey Maguire. Delayed from last year and, like all of Luhrmann's high-style, high-wire movies, guaranteed to be divisive, "Gatsby" could well be this year's "Les Miserables" (without the singing) -- a lavish, emotionally over-the-top, sweeping spectacle that aims to hold a mirror to modern times. Its schedule bump might prompt some doubts, but "Titanic" moved back its release date too, and it made out OK.
"Monuments Men" (Dec. 18): Director, George Clooney; cast, Daniel Craig, Clooney, Cate Blanchett. It's a WWII action-thriller about a special platoon charged with saving art from the Nazis. Tension + higher purpose + Clooney = best picture? That equation worked this year with "Argo," didn't it?
Oscars 2013: Nominee list | Red carpet | Highlights
"The Wolf of Wall Street" (Late 2013): Director, Martin Scorsese; cast, Leonardo DiCaprio. The fifth collaboration between Scorsese and DiCaprio has sex, drugs and securities fraud, not to mention mob elements, along with a script from Terence Winter, who, judging from his work on "The Sopranos" and "Boardwalk Empire," knows his way around the subject at hand.

WALDRON � Once again, Hillsdale County athletes were a predominant part of the Southern Central Athletic Association's baseball postseason awards.
The North Adams-Jerome, Camden-Frontier, Pittsford, Waldron and Litchfield High School baseball teams combined to have 21 players earned All-SCAA honors. Ten county players were named to the All-SCAA First Team, while 11 more received honorable mention.
North Adams-Jerome captured the SCAA East Division regular season championship and had three players named to the First Team. Senior Eric McCormick was named to the All-SCAA First Team as an outfielder, while senior Krey Gordon earned First Team honors as an infielder. Standout junior pitcher Chris Thomsen was also named to the First Team.

Aviva Premiership Rugby Awards
Farrell up for young player award
ESPNscrum Staff
April 25, 2012

Saracens' versatile back Owen Farrell has been shortlisted for the Land Rover discovery of the season award.
The six-man shortlist, where the winner will be unveiled at the Aviva Premiership Rugby Awards, consists of players aged 21 or under on the day of the Premiership final. Farrell has had a hugely impressive season where he has played a key role for both club and country.
He is joined on the list by Wasps duo Joe Launchbury and Christian Wade. Wade is currently second on the try-scoring list for this season's Premiership with eight scores while Launchbury has turned in a series of important performances for the beleaguered Premiership side and was rewarded with a call up to the England squad during the 2012 Six Nations.
Other names on the shortlist include Worcester Warriors flanker Matt Kvesic, London Irish's Jonathan Joseph and Harlequins back-row Luke Wallace.
The list was chosen by a panel which included World Cup winner Josh Lewsey and he claims that the variety within the shortlist bodes well for the future of the English game. "England's new head coach Stuart Lancaster has instilled the correct culture for which they know that if they perform both on and importantly off the field, they will get their chance," Lewsey said. "All six of these young men epitomise that value set.
"The shortlist gives us a huge range of players from gun dogs like Matt Kvesic, nuggety players like Luke Wallace and the obvious mental fortitude of a guy like Owen Farrell. London Irish's Jonathan Joseph has also impressed me and of course - although it wasn't all my choice - I was delighted to see two players from London Wasps make the shortlist, after performing as they have, in adversity."

For the past several days the newspapers, TV, radio, Internet, Hollywood and many politicians have all been screaming "gun control."
That includes our Colorado politicians, from the governor on down. President Obama and Vice President Biden already have their minds made up about what should be done. So do the NRA and Second Amendment rights groups. And yes, let's include those opposed to guns as well. There are at least a dozen such organizations in the U.S. Everyone I mentioned is looking to any scrap of data to support their positions instead of looking for real solutions.
Would it not be better to reset our priorities and actually attempt to understand why it happened instead of jumping on some bandwagon to get your agenda passed? Why not do some real analysis of the violence in America to truly attempt to understand the problem? It appears to me that we are all looking at symptoms of the problems versus attempting to get to the root cause.
Is it even remotely possible that something other than a gun is to blame for what happened?

Jimbo Fisher Press Conference Transcript – Dec. 2, 2013
Opening Statement:
"Again, (I'm) very proud of our team with the way we came off a road victory in Gainesville. Went down there and competed, same as every week. I thought we competed well, I thought we kept our composure in the game. I knew it would be a very tough game, they're a very talented football team. (Florida) played exceptionally on defense and on special teams they did a great job of winning the field position battle with us. Offensively, they moved the ball and had nice plays early. Our defense did a nice job and got control of the game and then on offense we made some plays and got hot. We were able to get the running game going, mix in the passing and of course K.B. (Kelvin Benjamin) had a tremendous game. Jameis (Winston) did nice job. We started picking up the stunts up front and being at the game at Florida – they're a talented football team. They're well-coached and they do a lot of different things on defense that cause you confusion. Defensively I thought we did a nice job of keeping contain on the ball – all the different motions and sweeps and things they did. The quarterback run game, we popped one of them (the ball) out of there. Other than that I thought we did a nice job. Roberto (Aguayo) kicked the ball well. We covered well and competed in the game pretty good. It was very hard-fought all the way through - a very physical game. They're a big, strong, physical team and I'm proud of those guys. We've got to put all of that behind us and get ready. The regular season is over with and now we have to go to an ACC Championship game. I'm very happy to be going and blessed. (We're) very thankful for the opportunity to go to Charlotte and play, representing our side of the division and playing Duke. Duke has had a tremendous season. (They have) ten wins, they're on an eight-game win streak, playing extremely well (on) both sides of the ball. (They're) creating points, doing well on defense, special teams – returning kicks. Dave Cutcliffe has done a tremendous job with that program and we're going to have to prepare well and practice well and bring our 'A' game up to Charlotte and play a heck of a game. We're looking forward to that challenge and we're very excited about the opportunity. (We're) glad to be back in that game and we're looking forward to the opportunity."
On looking at Duke and seeing that the production is spread out:
"If you look at us, we don't either (have one player putting up huge numbers). It's ironic and to me it's one of the things about their offense that the ball gets spread around. Both quarterbacks have a role, they can run it and throw it. Their backs run extremely hard and physical. They can run that, run the jet sweeps. The quarterbacks can run but still throw the ball effectively, so they do a good job of spreading the ball around. Their receiver (Jamison Crowder) is a tremendous player. He can catch, run, he can change direction. (He's) a great punt return guy. They get the ball in his hands as much as possible. But at the same time, to me it's a compliment to them because they do spread the ball enough you have to cover and respect everybody on the field."
On if the experience of last year's ACC Championship game will help them:
"It does. I hope we learn from all of our experiences. Knowing what to expect, how to handle it, what to expect, what you've got going on up there and it's a one game deal. You have to go in there and play well and hopefully, we'll handle all of the distractions and media and just being away from home and different things. Hopefully, we'll handle them well and hopefully some of the games that we've played in this year, with a lot of the media hype and Gameday and all that stuff will help us in that regard. I hope we learn from all of our experiences."
On the progress he's seen from redshirt freshman quarterback Jameis Winston:
"His ability to study and learn from his mistakes and also advance his knowledge of what he's trying to do and how to get guys the ball and what guys are trying to do to him now when they play against our offense, how they cover us and take a guy away - I think that's where he's really evolving. When they take this away, he's able to go to this part of the game. He truly understands the why's of the game and I say that all the time. If you don't understand why you do something, you can never repeat it and be consistent. I think that's the one thing about him that excites me so much and that's why he's been so consistent because he understands the why's of the game."
On if he saw Duke build a foundation after playing them in past seasons:
"No doubt and last year you saw it. They went to a bowl game and played well and the athleticism, speed, discipline, size, recruiting and they have a heck of a coach. You saw it coming."
On Duke pulling away from teams late in the games:
"They're well-coached, they're making adjustments and they've got their kids believing in what they're doing and they continue to stay consistent and pull away in games and that's how you win eight games in a row. Confidence is coming into what they're doing."
On how close the offensive line is:
"They're solid. They're a very good group. They're doing a very nice job and they still have a ways to go. I think we can be much better but at the same time I think they're doing a heck of a job. I still think there's a lot of room for improvement there. I say this, they're doing a very nice job and they're a very good group."
On if it takes time for guys like redshirt sophomore wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin to put the pieces together:
"It depends on where you come from. You have to remember, K.B. didn't have a lot of football background. He only played a couple years of high school football. He didn't play long. A lot of things you learn - you're talking about a sport you've played from eight years old and being coached that way opposed to learning it when you're 17 or 18 years old, that's a whole different animal. What most guys don't understand about being a wide-out, you want the ball, right? Well, it's more important to be fast and elusive without the ball then it is with the ball because if you're not fast and elusive without it then you don't get it. Sometimes that's hard to learn and when you have a lot of physical gifts, people can throw it to you based on those physical gifts and you never had to be a technician and play like you have no ability. That's what he's doing – playing like he has no ability."
On having three of the top wide receivers within 80 yards of each other:
"To me it's what you have to have. People can take guys away from you, there's no doubt. But, the other guys, if they do that they have to give someone up and we have guys that we think can have plays at all levels and to me that's the key. I don't care if a guy has 100 catches, if he does, he does, I've had guys have 100 catches. That's not a big deal, but if you can distribute it across- and your quarterback understands when they take this guy away, I've got this and it makes it very tough to defend and now you have to defend the whole field. Hopefully, we'll continue to do that."
On the coaching staff chemistry and if he was worried entering the season with new members of his staff:
"You do, but I think as a head coach that's where you have to set the tone. You say 'this is how we do things and that is how we do things,' and a lot of those guys had relationships before. They knew each other. Which was also very critical in my hirings. That played a lot of weight in who I hired and why I hired them."
On if he's pleased with the coaching staff
"I think our staff has done a tremendous job. I take our staff, I wouldn't say that we have the best but I wouldn't trade it for anything in America. I love our guys. I love the way they come into work. I love their off the field demeanors, I love the way they recruit, I love the way they coach. Our staff has done an unbelievable job with these players in this program."
On the staff having experience with conference and national championship games and if it helps:
"I think it does because you understand – they've been down the road you're about to go to. It's not new to them and they understand the pressure and they're able to block it out and coach."
On if the success has inspired the team chemistry:
"I think the winning grew out of the chemistry. You don't have success without the true love, trust and belief they have with each other and the caring. It doesn't work that way in my opinion. I think the relationship of the players is why we've had success."
On junior left tackle Cameron Erving's penalty at Florida:
"No excuse for it. I love him, that's why I try to (tell) them, because there is always something bigger than you. I told them going in, things like that happen in rivalry games. They had it in other games. You can lose him, what if I lost him for the first half of this game? Again, I understand. There's a lot of competition out there. When you get testosterone flying at the levels it's flying at and to tell a guy to think rationally, that always doesn't go together. That what makes this sport. I understand. I love him. I'm just trying to make a point 'please don't' because in the end you're going to hurt yourself and you're going to hurt us. But at the same time I understand where they're coming from. It's hard to do."
On Cameron Erving winning the 2013 ACC Jacobs Blocking Trophy:
"I'm happy for him. (It was) great to see that when you move over like he did, he had to give a lot of trust with what we were asking him to do and then had to learn a new position, new things and to me it's kind of rewarding for him. I'm glad for him because of the sacrifices he made for the team. Like I say all the time, he makes a team sacrifice and it comes back to you tenfold. It's funny when you become an unselfish person and player and you just do your job and work hard, and you have ability how things come back to you tenfold. I think that's a great lesson for our team to learn. I'm very happy for him and I thought it was very well deserving and he's done a nice job. At the same time I think he still has a lot of room to grow. I think he has the chance to be a really good player and I don't think he's scratched the surface yet and I don't mean that he hasn't done anything yet, he could be a very good player."
On if he thinks that Jameis Winston has earned the Heisman Trophy:
"That's for somebody else (to decide). I think Jameis is one of the most outstanding players in the country. Other people have outstanding players, that's not for me to judge but I will say this, I'm glad he's on my team."

My take on The Trade
Wow -- just wow.
When I heard the initial rumors of this blockbuster trade between the Red Sox late Friday night I thought there was no way it would ever get done. Not so much from the Red Sox but why the Dodgers would take on two huge, over-the-top contracts along with a hefty contract from a veteran pitcher having an extremely down year. Less than 24 hours later that deal is done. Gonzo, Crawford, Beckett and Punto are gone and a new era is instantly born for the Boston Red Sox.
I get why LA did it. The organization needed to make a splash trying to make a late run at a playoff spot. As well they are in a market competing with a team that signed the top player and one of the top pitchers this past offseason. Most importantly, they get a player I hate to see go in Adrian Gonzalez to pair with Matt Kemp in the middle of the line-up.
For the Red Sox it's a fresh start.
Clearly with what happened last September and what has gone on all season something had to be done. I never thought it would happen like this as it's arguably one of the biggest blockbuster trades with the heftiest price tags of all time. Still, the Red Sox got it done and literally overnight rejuvenated a fan base that was completely turned off and pretty much hating the organization.
As Ben Cherington stated the work is just beginning. As a fan it's definitely exciting to envision the possibilities the team can go now with almost 260 million dollars off the books. We should all take note though that this move isn't an immediate fix. The Red Sox still have a really good core of players with room now to try to find the right guys to fill in. To go out and sign the big free agents this offseason is counterintuitive to the just made trade. With this freed up money though there are many ways this team can go from here. Like the rest of you, I'm interested to see what's next.

"All the elements were there," said James Carville, the political consultant who has appeared on the show and has seen a few stories blow up in his time. "You had some dry brush, gasoline, high winds, no rain and low humidity and before you know it, man, it was a wildfire."
Carr goes through all the elements, so read the whole thing, but this one seemed especially apt to me:
THE WRONG VICTIMS Speaking of targets, Mr. Imus chose poorly. "Imus has a long history of saying far more negative, divisive things," said Robert M. Entman, a professor of media and public affairs at George Washington University. "In this case, he chose a college basketball team. College athletics is sacred in our culture in a way. We tell ourselves that it is a place that we have transcended race. This was an attack on the purity of sport, student athletes who are not paid to perform. In picking on a whole team, he chose the wrong noun to go with the adjectives."Carr also notes that YouTube kept things going in a new way, and this led me to go look at the clip. Previously, I'd only read the "nappy headed ho" remark. Now, I was hearing the whole context, which included the sidekick persisting in degrading the black women, and portraying them as unfeminine compared to the white players and using the over-the-top word "jigaboos."
He also picked on the wrong coach. C. Vivian Stringer protects her posse; her eloquent, aggressive defense of the team — and the obvious class of the players at the podium — made for riveting television with a great deal of emotional content. The Rutgers institutional decision to treat the affair as a teachable moment put Mr. Imus in an even deeper hole.
Having seen that clip, I'm now much less sympathetic than I was to Imus before. That was truly disgusting.
I've got to run and do my radio show, as noted below. I'll update and say more later. Let me just add that I don't watch sports and I had no fervor about the basketball championships or I might have had a more heated reaction to the nastiness. When people you already have warm feelings about are insulted, you get angrier faster.

Tribeca Film Festival
The Tribeca Film Festival was started by Robert De Niro, Jane Rosenthal and Craig Hatkoff in an effort to breathe new life into the TriBeCa neighborhood after the attacks on the World Trade Center of September 11, 2001, which were detrimental to the area's economy and overall vitality. The inaugural festival was launched after only 120 days of planning, thanks to more than 1,300 volunteers. Attended by 150,000 people, it generated more than $10 million in revenue for local merchants - an instant success that guaranteed growth in the following years.
Grow it did - since its founding, the juried Festival has attracted more than two million attendees from the U.S. and abroad, and has generated over $425 million in economic activity for New York City. 2008 marked the Festival's seventh year and drew a total of 400,000 moviegoers. From April 23rd through May 4th, the Festival showcased movies that wouldn't otherwise receive wide distribution on twenty-one screens throughout lower Manhattan, amounting to eleven days of independent full-feature films, documentaries, and short films by over 140 directors (including no less than 64 first-time directors).
The festivities did not limit themselves to the silver screen - at least a hundred parties were thrown in conjunction with the Festival; musical acts like Nick Lowe and Regina Spektor performed at the Tribeca/ASCAP Music Lounge; families crowded the streets at the all-day Family Festival Street Fair. Tribeca Talks, a series of panel discussions about the business of entertainment, returned to this year's Festival, along with the TFF art gallery, which exhibited the work of thirteen acclaimed New York-based artists, among them Ross Bleckner and Francesco Clemente. In addition to cash awards and in-kind services provided by Festival sponsors, winning filmmakers at the 2008 Tribeca Film Festival took home an original work of art created by one of these thirteen artists. Their work was exhibited throughout the Festival at the newly opened Sheila C. Johnson Design Center at Parsons, designed by Lyn Rice Architects.
For the fourth year in a row, Moleskine produced a limited-edition belly-banded notebook for the Festival. This year's edition, encased in a box branded with the TFF logo, was accompanied by a full-color catalog featuring the contemporary artwork eventually awarded to the Festival's prize winners. The notebooks were presented to the jurors, artists and VIP guests of the 2008 Festival at the Art Award Program Event on April 23, and at the Festival's opening luncheon.

Dear EarthTalk: Are the rumors true that refilling and reusing some types of plastic bottles can cause health problems? -- Regina Fujan, Lincoln, NEMost types of plastic bottles are safe to reuse at least a few times if properly washed with hot soapy water. But recent revelations about chemicals in Lexan (plastic #7) bottles are enough to scare even the most committed environmentalists from reusing them (or buying them in the first place). Studies have indicated that food and drinks stored in such containers - including those ubiquitous clear Nalgene water bottles hanging from just about every hiker's backpack - can contain trace amount of Bisphenol A (BPA), a synthetic chemical that interferes with the body's natural hormonal messaging system.The same studies found that repeated re-use of such bottles - which get dinged up through normal wear and tear and while being washed - increases the chance that chemicals will leak out of the tiny cracks and crevices that develop over time. According to the Environment California Research & Policy Center, which reviewed 130 studies on the topic, BPA has been linked to breast and uterine cancer, an increased risk of miscarriage, and decreased testosterone levels. BPA can also wreak havoc on children's developing systems. (Parents beware: Most baby bottles and sippy cups are made with plastics containing BPA.) Most experts agree that the amount of BPA that could leach into food and drinks through normal handling is probably very small, but there are concerns about the cumulative effect of small doses.Health advocates also recommend not reusing bottles made from plastic #1 (polyethylene terephthalate, also known as PET or PETE), including most disposable water, soda and juice bottles. According to The Green Guide, such bottles may be safe for one-time use, but reuse should be avoided because studies indicate they may leach DEHP - another probable human carcinogen - when they are in less than perfect condition. The good news is that such bottles are easy to recycle; just about every municipal recycling system will take them back. But using them is nonetheless far from environmentally responsible: The nonprofit Berkeley Ecology Center found that the manufacture of plastic #1 uses large amounts of energy and resources and generates toxic emissions and pollutants that contribute to global warming. And even though PET bottles can be recycled, millions find their way into landfills every day in the U.S. alone.Another bad choice for water bottles, reusable or otherwise, is plastic #3 (polyvinyl chloride/PVC), which can leach hormone-disrupting chemicals into the liquids they are storing and will release synthetic carcinogens into the environment when incinerated. Plastic #6 (polystyrene/PS), has been shown to leach styrene, a probable human carcinogen, into food and drinks as well. Safer choices include bottles crafted from safer HDPE (plastic #2), low-density polyethylene (LDPE, AKA plastic #4) or polypropylene (PP, or plastic #5). Consumers may have a hard time finding water bottles made out of #4 or #5, however. Aluminum bottles, such as those made by SIGG and sold in many natural food and product markets, and stainless steel water bottles are also safe choices and can be reused repeatedly and eventually recycled.Contacts: The Green Guide, www.thegreenguide.com; Environment California, www.environmentcalifornia.org/reports/environmental-health/environmental-health-reports/toxic-baby-bottles; SIGG, www.mysigg.com.Got an environmental question?
