NEW ORLEANS – Baltimore Ravens cornerback Cary Williams called the San Francisco 49ers "a little dirty" and said he had his helmet "kicked off" by a 49ers player in a second-quarter scrum.
Replays showed Williams emerge from the scrum and shove a referee with two hands, an infraction that would often draw at least a penalty flag, if not an ejection. Neither happened in this case.
RECAP: Ravens hold off 49ers in wild Super Bowl
WATCH: Williams shoves referee
Ravens defensive players and 49ers offensive players ended up in a shoving match after Baltimore safety Ed Reed intercepted San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick.
"It was a situation where I didn't see who the heck I pushed. Those guys kicked my helmet off, took my helmet off man, it's just a part of the process. Whatever," Williams said. "It's a reaction. You see teammates out there getting hit late, guys pulling guys after the whistle. My helmet came off, I couldn't barely see, and I just reacted. It is what it is."
Williams said the scrum, which resulted in offsetting personal foul penalties on Baltimore corner Corey Graham and San Francisco tackle Joe Staley, was the culmination of more than a quarter's worth of chippy play.
"The offensive line trying to be tough. Be tough between the whistles man. Don't pull that crap after the damn whistle, man. I mean, I just felt like those guys were a little dirty. The refs should have thrown flags on them early on them in the game to stop that junk," Williams said. "Sometimes you've got to retaliate, sometimes you have to show people we aren't going to be pushed around. We do this. That's been part of the Ravens defense for years, to show toughness, but we do it between the whistles."

The Emery High swim team is new this school year, and as most new teams, is getting better as the season progresses. Last week Emery hosted Richfield and the Wildcats came out on top 233 to 83.
Besides Emery having a new team, the team is competing in a new facility, the Emery County Aquatic Center. Although we might just call it the swimming pool, the Emery County Aquatic Center was recently lauded by the Utah chapter of the American Institute of Architects.
The Emery County Aquatic Center, along with the Weber County Library and the Carolyn Tanner Irish Humanities Building at the University of Utah were all given Honor awards at the competition. The competition had more than 50 entries from throughout the state. The judges were architects from Mississippi, Louisiana and California.
The Emery County pool's architect was the Salt Lake City firm of Naylor Wentworth Lund Architects. The jury said of the Emery building, "The crisp, pure elements of the building form a remarkable partner for the outdoor pool and its colorful play structures, both from a distance and from within the spaces."
While Emery does not have the number of participants that other established programs have, the swimmers on the Emery team are constantly bettering their times and are becoming more competitive as a team and as individuals.
In the girls 200-yard medley relay race Emery took second and third. Swimming for Emery were Ashlin Daley, Marqui Moss, Brinne Dawes and Mia Doria. Swimming on the third place team were Ariel Halton, Nikki Rogers, Hailey Rogers and Cammie Boyce.
The Emery boy's team took second in the 200-yard medley. The team has Weston Allinson, Eli Oliverson, Colton Leavitt and Tyrell Clement on it.
Davi Bosshardt finished second in the girls 200-yard IM, only two seconds behind the winner. Weston Allinson was the first finisher in the boys 200-yard IM but was disqualified for failing to touch properly. In the girls 50-yard freestyle, Mia Doria finished third and Hailey Rogers finished fourth.
In the girls 100-yard butterfly, Brinne Dawes finished second. In the girls 100-yard freestyle, Mia Doria finished second. In the boys 100-yard freestyle, Eli Oliverson finished second and Tyler Rowley finished third. Davi Bosshardt won the girls 500-yard freestyle.
The girls 200-yard freestyle relay team of Bosshardt, Rogers, Rogers and Doria finished second. Ashlin Daley finished third in the 100-yard backstroke and Weston Allinson finished third in the boys 100-yard backstroke. Hailey Rogers finished third in the 100-yard breaststroke with Eli Oliverson finishing second in the boys race.

Weeden & Co. derivatives strategists have the chart: Assets in gold exchange-traded funds such as SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) are nearly back to pre-QE3 levels. By QE3 we mean the Federal Reserve's third round of bond-buying, gold-bullish stimulus.
Click through for a larger size.
Small consolation for gold bulls, but Weeden's strategists think conditions are ripe for gold to get back to mid-March levels some time in the next several weeks. From the note:
Technical Considerations.
- Gold has retraced to the $1,550 three times since December 2011, all of which set up tradable rallies (Chart 1). We have limited expectations for this rally, recognizing that there are a substantial number of long positions above current levels that may sell into rallies.
- On a more near term basis, gold appears to be heavily oversold, while RSI levels have begun trending upwards on short term charts (Chart 2).
Fundamental Observations.
- While ETF volumes (ounces held) have retraced to pre-QE3 levels, suggesting much of the money that has come into the long gold trade with expectations of QE3 breakout is now out (Chart 3).
- Purchases by the central bank continue apace, keeping supply/demand imbalances in place (Chart 4).
- While questions remain about how much QE can be expected by the Federal Reserve under a higher employment scenario in the future, the Japanese central bank has aggressively announced its debasement strategies while the ECB is contemplating further rate cuts and other measures to stimulate growth in the Eurozone. It is our view that dovish foreign central banking policies will increasingly restrict the Federal Reserve's ability to be hawkish[.]

INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana Department of Education released statewide, corporation, and school level ISTEP+ scores today. The data shows that scores went up statewide, with 79.5% of Hoosier students passing the English/Language Arts portion of the test and 82.7% passing math up from 79.4% for English/Language Arts and 81.2% for Math in 2012. 73.5% of students passed both sections. The 2013 numbers released today are preliminary and will be finalized after students and parents have the opportunity to request re-scores of the Applied Skills portion of the test.
"First, I want to acknowledge the extraordinary efforts of Indiana students, parents, educators, administrators and the employees of the Department of Education for their efforts during the administration of this test," said Superintendent Ritz. "Despite considerable difficulties, our students improved their overall performance yet again, and deserve our congratulations."
Statewide, 76.2% of 8th graders passed the English/Language Arts (ELA) portion and 81.2% passed Math compared to 74.2% for ELA and 80.1% for Math in 2012. For 7th graders, 74.2% passed ELA and 80.2% passed Math, compared to 76.3% for ELA and 79.0% for Math in 2012.
77.7% of 6th grade students passed their ELA and 84.0% passed Math, compared to 78.7% for ELA and 83.0% for Math in 2012. 79.2% of 5th grade students passed their ELA and 87.0% passed Math, compared to 78.4% for ELA and 86.2% for Math in 2012.
84.3% of 4th grade students passed their ELA and 83.5% passed Math, compared to 82.4% for ELA and 79.1% for Math in 2012. Finally, 85.2% of 3rd grade students passed their ELA and 80.1% passed Math, compared to 86.2% for ELA and 79.6% for Math in 2012.
Science content on the 2013 ISTEP + was based on new science standards adopted in 2010. The Education Roundtable and the State Board of Education will consider Science cut scores in the coming weeks. The release of Science scores is anticipated in late October.
School and corporation level data can be found here. Disaggregated data will be released in the coming days.

Great summer shoe
"A lot of flats pinch my toes, but these are very comfy. Not much in the way of arch support, but they seem well made and sturdy, especially considering the woven construction. I went a half size larger than usual as Seychelles seem to run just a tad small"

It was a night when Bollywood stars dazzled and shutterbugs went into a collective tizzy. We saw some stunning style statements and lots of love was in the air…
It was a night to remember, not just for the stars, but for who was seen with whom.
Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh arrived separately and met at the do, but Arjun Kapoor and Alia Bhatt made an appearance together at the 59th Filmfare Awards nominations party last evening. Both couples got the shutterbugs flashing into action. Some stars stunned with their style statements, while others made fashion faux pas. Most, sadly, managed to shock even us with their not so flattering look for the party.
Alia Bhatt's appearance with alleged lover and Two States co-star Arjun Kapoor was far more interesting than her red strapless Alexander McQueen gown. We must say that Ms Bhatt is taking comparisons made between her and Kareena Kapoor Khan a little too seriously, but could never make heads turn like Bebo would have. And Arjun Kapoor's laidback attitude added no zing to his appearance – if Alia had not been by his side, we would have missed the Gunday actor on the red carpet.
Deepika Padukone chose to party in a printed Pankaj and Nidhi dress with a sexy back slit. While the Happy New Year actor looked stunning, she should have left the gold skull necklace behind. But with not many style rivals, Dippy managed to stand tall. Alleged beau Ranveer tried the geek look in Gandhi glasses and a bizarre patterned grey suit. When the duo posed together, they radiated chemistry, which took attention off their not so fashionable appearance.
Style diva Sonam Kapoor needs a makeover. Standing super tall next to her dapper Raanjhanaa co-star Dhanush, Sonam wasn't anything like her usual picture perfect self in an Anushka Khanna royal blue gown. Neither the cut nor the colour worked for us – and that hairdo! Enough said…
Kalki Koechlin looked stunning in Gaurav Gupta – the Shaitan beauty definitely was one of the best turned out actors at the do, the saving grace. Her good friend Huma Qureshi tried hard to pull off a Shivan and Narresh fusion saree, but it fell kinda flat next to her buddy's sweeping frock. They made a statement together though, putting a lot of the rumours about Huma disrupting Kalki's marriage to Anurag Kashyap into the trash.
The Lunchbox actor Nimrat Kaur looked good in Anand Kabra, an improvement on her last appearance at the Star Screen Awards. Southern beauties – the new flavour in Bollywood – weren't spectacular. We pick Tamannah Bhatia's Dior dress over Shruti Haasan blingy Namrata Joshipura suit, though neither was hugely happening.
Hopefully tinseltown's style divas and dapper dudes will be better prepared for awards night – hai na, BollywoodLifers?

Fifth-grader Ella Stasiak tugged at her pale blue Aspen View Academy blouse.
"It's just kinda scratchy," she said.
Her friend and neighbor, third-grader Carter Shelton, fiddled with the ends of his blue tie.
"I think it's better to wear uniforms," he said. "It's not that hard to get dressed every morning."
Stasiak and Shelton were among 650 uniformed students reporting for their first day of school at Aspen View Academy, Douglas County's newest school; 200 more students are on a waiting list. That's an irony for the school's founder, Jonathan Nye, who was inspired to build Aspen View by years-long waiting lists he found at other area charter schools.
On Sept. 3, his three children were among the hundreds who flowed through the doors for the first time.
"I'm elated," said Nye, a software salesman. "It was really a grassroots movement. We set up a table at the local King Soopers and started passing out fliers. First there were two of us, then 10 people, then 50."
The two-story K-6 charter, eventually designed to serve K-8 students, is in the Meadows neighborhood. In a unique partnership, the Douglas County School District helped Aspen View secure financing for the school. In exchange, Aspen View accepted some of the children who otherwise would attend overflowing neighborhood schools in the high-growth area.
"This school saved two schools in the Meadows from going to four-track," said Nye.
Four-track is a form of year-round school.
Instead, about 65 percent of Aspen View's students hail from the Meadows, with another 25-30 percent from Castle Rock.
"I don't know that we're different," Nye said. "We just offer a choice for parents. But we're still a district school.
"We're core knowledge with an emphasis on math, technology and language arts. We're a big believer in culture and core values."
Students also will be taught Latin, and placed in groupings that allow them to learn according to their abilities.
Another differentiator: The uniforms.
On opening day, girls wore blue plaid skirts and pale blue blouses embroidered with the Aspen View Academy name and logo. Boys wore gray pants with pale blue button-down Aspen View shirts; many also wore blue plaid ties that matched the girls' skirts.
It's a different way of dressing not just for most of the students, but their parents as well.
"The uniforms are a new thing," said parent Karen McConnell, whose oldest son previously attended nearby Clear Sky Elementary. "It's different. It sounds great, but I guess we'll see how it goes."
She was unreservedly excited, however, about the new school.
Clear Sky "was getting crowded with all the new housing," McConnell said. "I also like the ability-based grouping they offer here."
Staff members had a similar sense of anticipation.
"I couldn't sleep last night," said teacher Traci Waters. "This (school) has been like my dream."
Assistant principal Jeri Bisbee said Aspen View aims to be the best school in the area.
"Everybody's heart was in this project," she said. "Folks have moved here from Indiana, Ohio, Illinois (to work). And we have the cream of the crop in terms of our staff. We're very passionate and very excited."
Another charter - the second campus of American Academy, nearing completion in Parker - also opens this month on Sept. 23.

UMWA holds informational picket on Deer Creek mine.
Members of United Mine Workers of America Local Unions 1769 and 2176, employees of PacifiCorp Energy subsidiary Energy West Mining's Deer Creek mine in Huntington Canyon and Hunter Station coal preparation plant near Castle Dale conducted an informational picket on June 28 from 4:30 p.m.-6:30 p.m. The picket was held in front of the home of PacifiCorp Energy President and CEO Micheal Dunn to bring public attention to Dunn's role in management's proposals to cut safety provisions. The company also plans to cut health care for retired and active workers and eliminate pensions for some employees.
PacifiCorp, a subsidiary of Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway/MidAmerican Energy Holdings Co., reported profits of $1.3 billion last year.
The union seeks to inform the public about the company's massive profits and generous executive compensation, made possible by the tough, dirty, dangerous work that miners do deep underground to provide the coal that generates much of Utah's electrical power.


text: At the beginning of the 1980s, it would have been easy to suppose that the spark that had ignited the folk boom of the 1960s was long since extinguished. The artists who abetted and benefited from that boom had gone in various directions, most of them dropped from record labels by the mid-'70s, and only such minor commercial entities as the Roches and Steve Forbert had made any noise at all using New York's Greenwich Village as a base in the late '70s. But, in fact, a whole new generation of performers was coming up, and if the record labels were going to ignore them, they were nevertheless determined to support their own community and foster songwriting themselves. Performers such as Jack Hardy, David Massengill, and Rod MacDonald set up the Songwriters' Exchange so that writers would have a forum for their work to be heard by their peers. This resulted in an album on Stash Records released in 1980. In 1981, the group formed a cooperative that took over booking of SpeakEasy, a Village club. And in February 1982, the cooperative launched The CooP, a combination magazine and record album featuring the work of new songwriters. By 1997 when its final issue was published, The CooP, which had been renamed The Fast Folk Musical Magazine, was a nonprofit corporation that had published over 100 issues and served as the launching pad for such nationally recognized performers as Suzanne Vega and Tracy Chapman. Editor Richard Meyer negotiated with the Smithsonian Folkways label to maintain an archive of all of the Fast Folk editions, and in February 2002 the label released a 36-track, two-CD retrospective from those archives spanning the years 1982 to 1997, entitled Fast Folk: A Community of Singers and Songwriters. ~ William Ruhlmann, Rovi

Question 1 of 30
Before we get into some of the substances we can't get enough of, let's establish some things about addiction. What is happening to your brain when you take drugs?
The chemicals in drugs send abnormal messages to the brain.
Natural neurotransmitters overwhelm the brain's reward system.
Some drugs produce tons of dopamine, some activate nerves to fool the brain.
Question 2 of 30
Dopamine is also present when:
You're happy.
You're eating.
Because dopamine is connected to pleasure, you're not just going to get it by doing heroin.
Question 3 of 30
When you're abusing drugs, dopamine or dopamine receptors:
Thus, the drugs work less well.
stay the same
Question 4 of 30
What else happens when dopamine is decreased?
You get a dry mouth.
Your skin itches.
You get unhappy in general.
It's not just that the drugs work less well — you also have a harder time experiencing pleasure as the dopamine levels struggle to keep up.
Question 5 of 30
Who is going to get addicted?
A person whose parents were addicted to drugs.
A person who sees a lot of drug use.
No one is certain.
While environment and genetics probably contribute, scientists still can't determine who is at the most risk.
Question 6 of 30
There has been some research that shows sugar:
makes no difference as a diet additive
is better for you than salt
was preferable over cocaine to lab rats
A 2007 study said that rats preferred intensely sweet substances over cocaine.
Question 7 of 30
A 2013 study argued that sex addiction was:
actually love addiction
not really an addiction
The study found that the individuals had high sex desire and not necessarily disordered hypersexuality.

While Adderall works to focus those with ADHD, it's actually a stimulant.
Question 15 of 30
Some depressants are also used (and abused) as:
sleeping pills
While sleeping pills or painkillers such as Valium can be extremely beneficial, they also can be abused for their sedative effect.
Question 16 of 30
Codeine and promethazine are ingredients in what?
purple drank
It may be called by different names, but the combination of cough syrup and soda is addictive no matter what.
Question 17 of 30
Alcohol addiction increases the risk of what cancer?
Drinking alcohol also increases the risk for breast and liver cancer.
Question 18 of 30
In 2012, how many Americans 18 or older were diagnosed with an alcohol use disorder?
2 percent

athletic performance
Keep in mind that this kind of abuse often involves using steroids many times more powerful than doctors would prescribe.
to create a more winning smile
increase the tan of those with light skin
Question 21 of 30
Anabolic steroids:
don't have an acute effect on the brain
But don't be fooled. . .
won't make you sad
can't actually increase muscle mass
Question 22 of 30
While they might not immediately affect you like other drugs, anabolic steroids will:
eat a hole in your brain
give you anxiety
still affect your brain's chemicals and functioning, and long-term use will impact mood and behavior like traditional drugs.
Again — using drugs just isn't a good idea.
Question 23 of 30
Abusing steroids can also:
cause male genitalia to shrink
cause female facial hair growth
Hopefully that scares you.
Question 24 of 30
"Bath salts" are a group of drugs that chemically simulate a stimulant found in what plant?

Question 25 of 30
A cocaine high is stronger if:
it's snorted
it's smoked
While snorting cocaine may produce a longer high, smoking presents a much stronger, quicker high — and thus will lead to more use.
Neither high is very strong.
Question 26 of 30
Cocaine or crack can cause:
nail biting
cardiac arrest
It can lead to heart attacks and strokes, but probably has spawned its fair share of nail-biting too.
Question 27 of 30
Molly is the pure form of:
But beware that Molly is often just ecstasy, or ecstasy mixed with something else.
Question 28 of 30
PCP is prescribed for:
nothing, anymore
PCP was once used as an anesthetic, but its side effects proved to be much too harmful and is no longer in use medically.
Question 29 of 30
What drug causes one of every five deaths in the U.S. every year?
Seriously, tobacco is not something you want to dabble in.
Question 30 of 30
Tobacco killed how many people in the 20th century?
100 million
Yeah, again — nicotine is no joke. Get away and stay away.
40 million
25 million

Ship Weight:1.05 Dosage:2 Scoop(s) Flavor:Unflavored USP Labs - Modern BCAA Ultra Micronized Amino Acid Supplement Unflavored - 12.3 oz. (350g) Are you still using dated, bulky BCAAs with non-micronized aminos and ordinary l-glutamine - loaded with unnecessary artificial flavors and dyes? Get out of the stone age with USP Labs Modern BCAA! USP Labs Modern BCAA is equipped with 10 grams per serving of micronized aminos along with a natural, refreshing taste free of artificial flavors. USP Labs Modern BCAA Grape Bubblegum Ultra Micronized Amino Acid Supplement mixes clear and is incredibly refreshing. 8:1:1 BCAA Ratio Zero Artificial Colors Zero Artificial Flavors Zero Sugar Zero Carbohydrates USP Labs Modern BCAA contains a ratio of 8:1:1 (leucine, to isoleucine, to valine) instead of the standard 2:1:1 or 4:1:1 mixes. Why is this ratio best?USP Labs chose to formulate its entry into the BCAA market with a revolutionary 8:1:1 ratio due to one term: mTOR. Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a protein kinase that plays a key role in regulating several aspects of cell metabolism. When adequate levels of nutrients (glucose, amino acids, lipoproteins, minerals) are available, mTOR is activated and turns on the cell's inner machinery, which includes the ribosomes responsible for the synthesis of proteins that are involved in muscular hypertrophy (growth!). Well, they say all that to say this: many studies have shown that leucine, above all other amino acids, is responsible for regulating mTOR, and therefore, skeletal muscle protein metabolism. If Leucine is the star, why not just take straight Leucine?While the majority of available scientific research does indeed present leucine as the king of protein synthesis, so to speak, there are drawbacks to using it alone. As USP Labs said above, the presence of the two additional BCAAs (iso-leucine and valine) can reduce intracellular leucine levels - well, by the same token, administration of leucine alone, over time, can reduce levels of valine and iso-leucine as well. The key is to create a formula that a) privileges leucine over the other BCAAs in order to constantly maintain adequate levels of protein synthesis and b) one which does not create an imbalance between the amino acids in doing so. Enter Modern BCAA! I have always double- or mega-dosed my amino acids before Modern BCAA. Do I have to double- and mega-dose Modern BCAA as well?In short, no! The reason for increasing the dose on BCAA products based on the traditional amino acid backbones (2:1:1 and 4:1:1) is to increase the effects BCAAs have on skeletal muscle protein synthesis. Well, as they said above, USP Labs has either doubled or quadrupled the amount of leucine that your current product has - and because leucine is the amino acid primarily responsible for increase skeletal muscle protein synthesis, there is no need to mega-dose! As referenced in the first question, if you are mega dosing a 2:1:1 or 4:1:1 ratio, you are also mega dosing isoleucine and Valine which could potentially impact leucine metabolism and block mTOR activation. The advertisements and labels on Modern BCAA say the product mixes clear and clean, but mine still has floaties and foam. Did I receive a bad batch?No, absolutely not! Due to the strict standards of quality and purity that USP Labs adheres to in the production of Modern BCAA, there are no "bad batches." If you are experiencing "floaties" or "foam," please take a look at the instructions to make sure you are properly mixing your BCAAs: Did you use 20oz of water for 2 scoops (10oz per scoop)? If not, too little or too much water could affect the solubility of Modern BCAA. Did you use excessively cold water? If so, try cool but not excessively cold water, as this may also affect the initial solubility of Modern BCAA. Did you shake for 30 seconds? Again, like the other two conditions, shaking for at least 30 seconds and allowing the product to "rest" for an additional 30 seconds is necessary for optimal solubility. The amino's precent in Modern BCAA, especially leucine, can act hydroscopically, meaning they don't mix well in water. It's remarkable just how well Modern BCAA's do mix considering the power & high dose of leucine per serving. My current BCAA mix stains my teeth, clothes and drink containers, and burns my throat! Is Modern BCAA going to do the same?USP Labs Modern BCAA contains no artificial flavors, colors or dyes - making sure that not only do your clothes, teeth and cups stay clean, but also that you're not drinking toxic substances on a daily basis! Artificial dyes have absolutely no role in enhancing a product's effectiveness besides lending a potentially toxic substance to simply add color. Are you willing to take that risk over a useless color? A competitor of USP Labs once said it enhances the consumer experience…USP Labs replied with "Are you selling cereal to 7 year olds?" I have seen glutamine as part of other BCAA matrixes, but USPlabs Modern BCAA contains Sustamine, a unique form of glutamine. Why is this form any better than my run-of-the-mill glutamine?Sustamine represents a significant step forward in L-Glutamine supplementation, and is superior to glutamine in several ways. Sustamine, a dipeptide combining L-Alanine and L-Glutamine (L-Alanyl-L-Glutamine), is more stable and far more water soluble than regular L-glutamine. These physicochemical properties alone may provide greater effectiveness as compared to l-glutamine. However, the presence of a unique intestinal transporter for the dipeptide may also allow for an increased amount of glutamine to reach the bloodstream and into skeletal muscle as compared to regular free L-glutamine. These notions are supported by the higher glutamine concentrations in plasma and skeletal muscle of animal models administered alanyl-glutamine, as compared to those observed with free L-glutamine. This is important because up to 65% of regular L-glutamine can be destroyed before it makes its way to your muscles…L-glutamine is known for its instability, in the dry state and especially in an aqueous solution. The degradation products from L-glutamine can be glutamic acid, ammonia and pyroglutamic acid, the latter two being potentially toxic. What's worse is the longer it sits in water, the more degradation takes place! So, needless to say, if you are drinking regular L-Glutamine, you are most likely drinking potentially toxic by-products, such as ammonia, as well. When and how is it best to use Modern BCAA?While Modern BCAA can be used at any point of the day, and can even be sipped on non-workout days, using it either intra (during) or post-workout is the best application of the product. Using Modern BCAA at this time can help prevent the transient (temporary) breakdown of skeletal muscle protein for fuel, inhibition of skeletal muscle protein synthesis, as well as increase muscle protein synthesis. In simpler terms, using it at this time pushes your body into a more anabolic state, and less of a catabolic one! To expand on that, is Modern BCAA best suited for "cutting" or "bulking"?Modern BCAA has a wide-range of applications, the protein-sparing and protein synthesis-promoting aspects can be effective while cutting (in a calorie deficit) or bulking. What is the difference between my whey protein and Modern BCAA? Is one better than the other?Let USP Labs give you an analogy. When you look at a house, you can consider it in two ways: as both a whole house, but also as a house made up of individual components. Well, when USP Labs says "whey protein," it is like the house, and amino acids are like the individual components that form the structure of that house. Like a house, not all the components are as necessary as the others, and which components you consider necessary depends on what you are doing. For the specific purpose of strenuous exercise, the materials (amino acids) that comprise common whey protein matrixes may not be adequate for the stimulation of protein synthesis, and the inhibition of protein breakdown. Supplementing with Modern BCAA, an amino acid matrix specifically formulated to provide you with the amino acids most responsible for protein synthesis, helps to create an environment which is more adequate for protein synthesis. Can I use Modern BCAA with USPlabs Jack3d? What about with other USP Labs products?Yes, Modern BCAA can be used with Jack3d, or any other USP Labs products for that matter! Can I combine my creatine product with Modern BCAA?Of course! In short, the beneficial effect that creatine monohydrate supplementation has on energy balance (by providing intracellular ATP) works perfectly with the BCAA's effects on the same processes. In fact, USPlabs Jack3d is a perfect complement to Modern BCAA, for that reason and others! How long can I use Modern BCAA? Is there any need to "cycle off?"To give a short and sweet answer - the best kind - no, there is no need to cycle Modern BCAA. They can be used consecutively for an indefinite period of time. USP Labs: Ultra-Premium Sports SupplementsSince its inception, USP Labs has released breakthrough product after breakthrough product, establishing itself as the leading manufacturer of cutting-edge dietary supplements.
