Ship Weight:3.40 Dosage:2 Scoop(s) Flavor:Orange Creamsicle Click here to read a PDF brochure on this product 1st Endurance Ultragen Orange Creamsicle- 3 lbs. (1365g) 1st Endurance Ultragen Orange Creamsicle is the most advanced recovery formulation ever developed. Ultragen's breakthrough technology is designed to work synergistically to provide the right nutrients to the right place at the right time during the 30-minute 'Window of Opportunity' following exercise so you can recover faster than ever before. Each serving of Ultragen delivers the levels of nutrients that have been shown in clinical research to maximize recovery and give you an extra edge over the competition. Racing and intense training puts your body under incredible stress, depleting glycogen stores, elevating cortisol and draining essential vitamins and minerals. For endurance athletes, it's crucial to focus on recovery in order to be competitive the day after a hard workout or race. That's why the scientists at First Endurance developed Ultragen, the most advanced post-recovery formulation ever produced. Each serving of Ultragen delivers the levels of nutrients that have been shown in clinical research to maximize recovery and give you an extra edge over the competition. In other words, First Endurance does not use pixie dust levels of ingredients just to put on the label.Ultragen's state of the art formula contains superior proteins, a carbohydrate catalyst, glutamine, branchedchain amino acids, cortisol modulation and electrolytes. Each of these components is engineered with the highest quality ingredients and at clinically effective doses. No other formula provides a comparable option.Breakthrough TechnologyResearch has shown there's a critical thirty-minute glycogen window (called the "window of opportunity") immediately following exercise when insulin sensitivity is at its highest and exhausted muscles essentially open the door to nutrients. If nutrients are not absorbed quickly enough, however, this opportunity for maximum restoration is lost. But it's not just when nutrients are absorbed, it's also about which nutrients are available. The body requires more than just sugar and protein to fully recover, so recovery is limited without a precise balance of nutrients. Ultragen delivers 60g of glucose, because clinical studies show that high glycemic carbohydrates taken after exercise create a catalyst, which increases the uptake of essential nutrients into exhausted muscle. In addition, Ultragen offers a synergistic blend of vitamins, minerals, co-factors, glutamine and BCAA's specifically designed to modulate the damaging effects of cortisol brought on by intense endurance training. The Ultragen formula is designed to be fully absorbed within the essential thirty minute glocygen window, when the body is primed to absorb nutrients.Ultragen contains special proteins (Whey Protein Isolate and Hydrolyzed Whey Protein) that meet the unique requirements of endurance athletes. Fast acting Whey Protein Isolate delivers high levels of anti-catabolic branch chain amino acids. Hydrolyzed Protein is enzymatically predigested in small, easy to digest, di- and tri-peptide chains that are quickly absorbed for muscular recovery. This is important because small molecule proteins are superior to the larger, hard to digest Whey Protein Concentrates that are used in most recovery products. The special proteins in Ultragen are absorbed faster and easier assuring you maximize recovery during the critical thirty-minute glycogen "window of opportunity". The result: quicker recovery, improved endurance and the ability to race at a higher level. First Endurance Questions & AnswersWhy should I use Ultragen? Each serving of Ultragen delivers clinically effective doses of the most advanced proteins available, the fastest-acting carbohydrates, glutamine, BCAAs, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and electrolytes. In addition, Ultragen integrates the latest nutritional technology in order to maximize recovery and provide the right nutrients to the right place during the 30-minute 'Window of Opportunity' following exercise. Nothing else on the market even comes close. How does Ultragen work? Ultragen's many components are designed to work synergistically in order to fully maximize recovery, providing clinically effective doses of the right nutrients to the right place at the right time. What is the 30-minute glycogen window of opportunity? Research has shown that there is a critical thirty-minute glycogen window (called the "window of opportunity") immediately following exercise when insulin sensitivity is at its highest and exhausted muscles essentially open the door to nutrients. In order to maximize this opportunity it is critical to use fast sugars like dextrose which help shuttle nutrients nutrients into the cell. It is equally important to make sure all ingredients are absorbed quickly. When should I use take Ultragen? Immediately after a hard day of training or racing. Ultragen integrates the latest nutritional technology in order to maximize recovery and provide the right nutrients to the right place during the 30-minute 'Window of Opportunity' following exercise. What kind of proteins are in Ultragen? Ultragen is formulated using a unique time-responsive protein matrix to maximize absorption through the entire spectrum of recovery time. Whey Protein Hydrolysate (WPH) is a pre-digested, small molecular weight complete protein and the fastest protein absorbed due to its small size and pre-digested peptide chains. Ion exchange Whey Protein Isolate (WPI) is also a low molecular weight protein, absorbed more slowly than WPH. Milk Protein Isolate (MPI), fully absorbable due to the unique quality of its isolate (which removes carbohydrates and fats), is absorbed more slowly than both WPH and WPI. Combining these three proteins allows the faster WPH and WPI to be absorbed during that critical first 30 minutes, and the slower MPI to remain and deliver the appropriate building blocks for slower processes. Why don't you use soy protein? Though Soy Protein Isolate is a high quality protein, some athletes are weary of isoflavones found in Soy. These Isoflavones have some estrogenic activity that some male athletes shy away from. Using PER and BV, two measures of a protein's effectiveness, Whey scores higher on both marks. What are high-glycemic carbohydrates and why are they important? Based on a 50g-portion size, the glycemic index(GI) of a carbohydrate represents the magnitude of the increase in blood sugar that occurs after ingestion of the carbohydrate. What glycemic index does not define is the portion size of the carbohydrate meal ingested (whether the portion size is 5g or 500g GI is not affected), but portion size can affect blood sugar. Carbohydrates with a higher GI cause a higher rush of sugar into your blood than carbohydrates with low GI. Elevated blood sugar causes insulin to be secreted to help modulate the sugar and subsequent sugar crash follows. Glycemic Load measures the GI multiplied by the total carbohydrate content giving a more practical and accurate determination of blood sugar response. What does L-Glutamine do? Glutamine is an amino acid that supports glycogen and protein synthesis and increases nitrogen retention. At a clinically effective dose of 6g, Glutamine is essential for muscle tissue repair and recovery. Why are BCAAs important for endurance athletes? BCAAs are the building blocks of the body. They are important for muscle growth & recuperation. In addition to building cells and repairing muscle tissue, BCAAs form antibodies that combat invading bacteria & viruses. Your body cannot manufacture its own BCAAs so they must be supplied through your diet and supplementation routine. BCAA's also combat 'central fatigue' brought on by an imbalance of BCAA's to Tryptophan ratio. It is this imbalance that causes you to feel tired and lethargic following long hard efforts. I've heard it's important for endurance athletes to have higher levels of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. Is this true? Absolutely. Athletes, especially endurance athletes, need higher levels of specific vitamins, minerals and electrolytes to help restore energy levels, fight free radicals and maintain a healthy immune system. Keeping in mind that free radicals have one or more unpaired electrons, an antioxidant is a nutrient that offers an electron-rich binding site for these damaging oxidants, giving them a preferential site to bind to and pair up with missing electrons. So even though it seems like simple breathing is not healthy, the oxidation damage caused by the air we take in can be overcome with proper antioxidant protection. Supplements like vitamins C & E and selenium also offer sites for antioxidation, thereby reducing the damage from oxidative stress. You probably recognize now that oxidative stress is unavoidable as a living human, but of special concern to them as endurance athletes -- cycling on long roads, running trails and swimming in the open water - is the greater oxygen demand they face, which compounds normal cell damage. It seems like the trend these days for ¨during¨ drinks is low-glycemic is that just hype or what? By definition, low glycemic means there is not a rush of sugar into the blood stream. Low- glycemic foods may work well during a ride if you are well below your threshold. This steady slow release of sugar into the blood stream may actually slow gastric emptying and cause both gastric distress AND dehydration. As your HR increases and you get further into your ride, your body needs glucose (normally it will take this glucose from stored glycogen). As your glycogen is depleted, you either feed the working muscles glucose directly from what's in your blood. Or your body starts burning stored protein and fat. If you force your body to burn stored protein and fat, you will quickly diminish your exercise capacity and increase your lactic acid accumulation. You must feed your body glucose so it is quickly absorbed and quickly available in your blood stream to use as fuel. This is why they don't recommend Ultragen early in your ride OR on long easy rides where your HR is well below threshold. In the latter part of a ride or an hour before a sprint finish or hill finish, Ultragen works like a dream. Not only is 100% of the sugar from glucose (dextrose), all the other ingredients including their low molecular weight proteins, glutamine, BCAA's and electrolytes are designed to be digested very fast. So, not only are you getting the glucose you need, you are also replenishing all the other key nutrients that can diminish your capacity to exercise. And, because everything is digested so easily and quickly you don't get gastric distress or that heavy feeling in your gut. Try a serving of Ultragen with an hour to go on your next long ride and see how you feel on the home stretch. Do I need to use a shaker to mix Ultragen? Ultragen is engineered using agglomeration technology making it spoon-mixable. The fact that Ultragen mixes so easily is a direct indication of absorption and digestibility. Basically it does the same thing in your stomach. Products that clump when mixing don't digest well and can hinder both water and nutrient digestion. Is there a time when I should consume low-glycemic food? Low glycemic is great as a pre-exercise meal, since it has the ability to stabilize blood sugar. What flavors are available? Ultragen is available in Tropical Punch. Is Ultragen legal? First Endurance is committed to developing the most advanced endurance supplements on the market. First Endurance has taken additional measures to assure that their products are safe legal and stimulant free. First Endurance supplements are legal to use in any sporting event governed by the World Anti-Doping Association (WADA), the US anti-doping association (USADA) and by the UCI (Union Cycliste International). One or more of the aforementioned governing bodies govern all US Cycling, International Cycling, US Triathlon and International Triathlon. How many servings are there in a container of Ultragen? There are 15 servings in each container of Ultragen Can I take Ultragen during racing and training? The proteins, glutamine, BCAA's and electrolytes in Ultragen will fuel your body with what it needs so you can finish strong in long races. The high calories, high glycemic carbs, fast proteins and high levels of all 5 electrolytes make Ultragen the best 'during' drink on the market, even though it's designed for post-recovery applications. Everything in Ultragen is absorbed super fast and hence very easily digested. Too many competitors try and develop complex carbohydrate mixes that have a number of different sugars and hence absorbed at different rates. Dextrose is the fastest absorbing sugar available. Ultragen has 100% dextrose as the carbohydrate source. You can drink the entire 12 ounces and not feel full during your ride. They recommend you try taking a serving of Ultragen during the second half of your long workouts before using it in a race. I am confident you will be amazed at how much better you feel towards the end.About 1st EnduranceFirst Endurance was started by two racing fanatics (a cyclist and a triathlete) with a healthy obsession for sports nutrition. The idea was simple. They wanted to give endurance athletes access to formulas that are developed for one specific reason-to maximize endurance performance. At First Endurance, their approach is different. Because of their core values and uncompromising standards, they develop the best products available. They are committed to using only the highest-quality ingredients. They employ the latest technological advancements and demand the finest packaging materials to protect the product from the elements (moisture, oxygen and UV degradation). Only when they are 100% satisfied that these standards are met, do they offer the products to you. Their MissionIntegrate their passion for racing, knowledge of sports nutrition, integrity, and values to provide endurance athletes with the ultimate, scientifically validated, high-performance racing formulations. Commitment to Research Commitment to Quality Focus Innovation Active in the Racing Community Commitment to Racing Commitment to ResearchResearch is their most important value at First Endurance. They are driven by a desire to ensure their products are proven to enhance endurance performance and have scientific validation. At First Endurance, they refuse to reduce costs by using "pixie dust" amounts of ingredients just to dress up the label. Their formulations utilize the same levels (sometimes more) of the active ingredients that were used in the actual human scientific research. They are meticulous about research and go out of their way to make sure they have addressed each of their stringent requirements. All products that First Endurance develops are based on human scientific research. Commitment to QualityFirst Endurance uses only the finest ingredients and follows stringent quality control. Supplements can be easily ruined. Even if you buy the right ingredients, they can degrade quickly and loose their efficacy if they aren't handled under the most stringent controls. They are determined to ensure nothing goes wrong with any step of the way. For example, OPTYGEN is packaged in an amber glass bottle and utilizes colored capsules to reduce UV light, oxygen and moisture degradation, ensuring the highest quality, potency, and purity. FocusAt First Endurance, they are centered on endurance performance. Because they only focus on developing high-performance endurance formulations, they are the best at what they do. InnovationFirst Endurance is committed to advancing the state of the art. First Endurance's competitive strategy is based on having the best, patentable, formulations, technologies and delivery systems available. Active in the Racing CommunityFirst Endurance proudly supports the racing community. They sponsor five professional teams, and a number of other elite endurance athletes. They have a dynamic relationship with the First Endurance athletes. This collaboration allows their Research and Development team to continue to push the limits of endurance performance. Commitment to RacingEveryone who works at First Endurance races. Not just occasionally either, every week. They spend a lot of time packed in a car driving to early-season races (hopefully in warmer climates) and have stayed in more grungy hotels than they care to remember. They race when it is below freezing or raining sideways. They hang around the hotel after a race wondering when they'll get the feeling back in their feet. They know what it's like to chase a breakaway for an hour just to get a flat once they finally bridge the gap. Most importantly - they know what it takes to win races, when everything works out just right. They understand the work ethic, sacrifices, dedication and satisfaction that goes into every victory.

You know it's coming. It's been about 50 episodes since the last filler arc and they are only about 45 chapters ahead. This means they will probably ned a big filler arc or arcs to push it closer to 75 chapters ahead of the anime. This combined with the fact that the nature of the storyline is that once they get to the Amazon Island they pretty much have to go straight on through to the present storyline chapters.
This means the best possible place for a filler is right after Kuma splits p the crew.
My question and poll is based on how they will present this filler arc or arcs. For instance could Oda-san be directly involved in the writing especially if the arc or arcs are about the as of yet untold story of the other seperated Strawhats.
Say what you chose from the poll and why?

An interesting NEJM article on the 40th anniversary of the seminal journal article on The DES Story serves as a potent reminder of the potential effects of exposure to endocrine disruptors during critical times in development.
Beginning in the early 1960′s DES, a synthetic estrogen compound, was given to women in early pregnancy to prevent miscarriages. Females born from these pregnancies had an increased risk of a rare vaginal cancer during childhood, increased rates of uterine malformations that can cause infertility and premature birth, and are at a moderately higher risk for breast cancer. Use of DES in pregnant women stopped in the early 1970′s. . ……….

Zach Radtke didn't notice right away when a few of his Army uniform patches went missing.
The next time the Army Reservist saw them, they were on a beautiful quilt made by his girlfriend's mother. Five different Army uniforms spanning several decades make up the quilt.
When Cathy Ott came up with the idea for her military camouflage quilt she calls "The Boot," she didn't need to do much shopping for old military uniforms. She just opened her closet. ……

The Oopsie Slushie
Tuesday, August 18, 2009
Cute name aside, this recipe really was heading downhill until I hit upon the idea of turning it into a drink. You see, I was actually attempting to make a sorbet – without an ice-cream machine. If you haven't figured it out already, I'm a bit of a "jump-in-the-deep-end" kind of gal. I'd never made a sorbet before but how hard could it be? Um, a little bit hard apparently.
The whole thing started with jasmine. Thanks to the warmer weather, the Arabian jasmine (Jasminum sambac) bush in the garden had started to flower. I'd been raring to try a very interesting technique to make perfumed water with jasmine flowers, as described by David Thompson in his book Thai Food (method below).
Inspired by my recent granita success, I thought I'd use the perfumed water to make a sorbet flavoured with green apple. This is where things started going a bit pear shaped (or apple shaped as the case may be). I had every intention of beating the sorbet mixture every hour for as long as it took but I'd started the process a little bit late in the evening. So I only managed four mixings/beatings before I went to bed – thinking I'd wake up and give it a good mix with the beaters and it would be still ok. The sorbet had other ideas. What I succeeded in making was an extremely smooth granita but a granita nonetheless.
Okaaaay, I could live with a granita instead of a sorbet, but then I tasted it. Have you ever had that happen? The effort, the anticipation, the hope, then the disappointment as the item you made didn't taste anything like you'd imagined it would.
Don't get me wrong, it didn't taste bad but the flavours just weren't working well together. I was hoping the green apple would have given an acid balance to the floral jasmine but the overall taste was one of overwhelming sweetness. And the apple flavour seemed to be jostling for supremacy against the jasmine scent.
Luckily, a squeeze of lemon juice and a splash of soda water later – the problem was solved! And we even jazzed it up just for the adults by adding lime juice instead of lemon and a dash of rum. Mojito anyone?
Jasmine and green apple granita
(I'm posting the recipe anyway with the caveat that it is too sweet. Maybe you can re-mix it your way and let me know if you come up with a better flavour combo).
Perfumed Water
(abridged from Thai Food by David Thompson. I made a half portion using 11/2 cups water and 5 jasmine flowers.)
4 cups water
10 jasmine flowers or 1 cup less pungent flowers
2 ylang ylang flowers (optional)
Bring water to the boil. Cool then pour into a wide bowl.
Clean jasmine or other flowers then add to the water. If using ylang ylang flowers, briefly wilt them over a flame - this helps to release their perfume – before placing them in a small dish and floating them on the water. Seal bowl and leave overnight (I used a clean glass jar with a lid). Remove flowers before use.
- Cool boiled water absorbs more fragrance than straight tap water
- Only steep blossoms overnight as the fragrance becomes flat and dull after 24 hours.
For the granita:
160g sugar
11/2 cups perfumed water
100ml green apple juice (from 1 green apple)
Instead of juicing the apple, I whizzed it in the food processor then sieved the mush to collect the juice – mainly because I couldn't be bothered lugging out the juicer from the cupboard and cleaning it up afterwards.
Make a simple syrup by bringing the perfumed water and the sugar to a gentle simmer and stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Cool a little, then stir in the apple juice. (May benefit from the addition of lemon juice at this point).
Place in a freezer proof container then put into freezer for about an hour. Check to see if ice has started to form around the edges of the container. Beat with a whisk or beaters, or if you don't mind a grainier version use a fork to scrape the ice and mix the liquid and ice together. Put back in freezer. Repeat the beating/mixing process again in about an hour, then again in another hour. When happy with the granita's consistency, cover and freeze until ready to serve.
(Apparently, with a sorbet, you're meant to beat it every half hour or so until it is ready, but mine seemed to take forever to freeze which is when I gave up and went to bed).

I really like the idea of turning jasmine into a drink, and green apples would definitely add a little tartness to such a perfumey scent. Lime and rum can solve any provlem.

"I bought a pair of these for myself on clearance at your store and my friend loved them so much, I found them on your website and bought her a pair. I didn't get them for the clearance price that I paid for mine but she loves them and it was worth the extra money. They run a little small and are not the most comfortable shoes I've bought but the color is fantastic!"

"I ordered these because orange is my favorite color. It's a little shocking when you first see them. At first I wasn't sure... I would have preferred them to be a little less bright and a little darker, but the longer I have them, the more I like them. I get many compliments on them. And many "wow, those are really bright" comments. They are very comfy. The shoestrings are extremely short (and I haven't been able to locate any replacements in the same color), but I've never had a problem with keeping them tied."

This gets very confusing when many people still call ANY Yixing clay zisha, regardless of color. Telling the difference between zini and zisha can be very tricky for a beginner. Real zisha has: a uniformed sandy texture, usually has different colored grains of sand visible when looking very closely at the clay, and often has a soft buttery glow. I know for me it's taken a lot of practice, and I still get it wrong.
Here is a good example...
And here's a link to the full size image if you want to zoom in and see the multicolored sands. http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5092/5569 ... 05ce_o.jpg
In the end, it's best not to get hung up on the clay type so much, and just worry about whether it brews well or not. Have fun!

However, my experience brewing certain high mountain oolongs (some Li Shan teas) wasn't that good. The pot hated them, hahaha. I might try Da Yu Ling as you said it worked for you and see how it goes...fingers crossed!
I will post a pic of the pot another time as I haven't processed the file yet.
tingjunkie wrote:Yes, my Taiwanese zhuni pot is VERY thin. You can also tell it's Taiwanese because if you look on the inside, there are some faint concentric circles visible because the body is wheel thrown rather than "built" as Yixing pots are.

tingjunkie wrote:I'm about 99% sure the potter is wrong, unless he meant no one working directly in Yixing makes wheel thrown pots from Yixing clay. Of course, real Yixing clay has to undergo a different process (don't ask me what) before it can be wheel thrown, but there are potters in Taiwan who certainly start out with real Yixing clay, and end up with a wheel thrown pot.
Maybe others can shed more light on this process.

SANZAR boss Greg Peters has revealed that Super Rugby could possibly include teams from Canada, the United States and Asia.
SANZAR boss Greg Peters has spoken of Super Rugby considering possibly including new teams from Canada, the USA, Argentina and also Asia in 2016.
Both the Canucks and Eagles were this week named as new competitors in 2013's Pacific Nations Cup, which Peters believes is positive.
And with a call pending on whether to expand Super Rugby when the next broadcast contract begins, the next step may see wider participation.
"We are considering whether or not we will include new territories in Super Rugby and one of the factors we'll be weighing up is their competitiveness," Peters told The Australian.
"Super Rugby in its present form is a pretty successful model and we are not going to water it down. But we'd be derelict in our duty if we didn't consider expanding into areas. The United States is a very big market and so is Japan and Asia generally. Ultimately it all comes down to what is in the best interests of the three SANZAR parties."
Peters added though that travel considerations could become a stumbling block in the decision.
"Player welfare is a big consideration. That said, the conference system does provide us with a degree of flexibility, either in terms of adding new conferences or adding new teams to existing conferences," he said.

A train going through a landscape: it is something that happens countless times every day and night. A very ordinary subject for a sculpture one could say, but it is something I see as interesting, in how to bring out the poetry in an ordinary situation.
I have always thought trains cutting through the landscape to be in some ways an invasion of what can be an unspoiled location. I forgive them for this because they go by you quite quickly and the scene is back to normal, if you don't count the tracks.
My Train in Landscape is in some ways like a chessboard where I move the pieces around until I get something which has transformed the mundane into something else.
I work quickly and tin and enamel paint suits me. I like the fragility of the tin figures when they are cut out.

Why you're going to love my class
Because I break down your fears. If you're intimidated by accounting, it's probably because you're intimidated by having to deal with numbers. It's not the concepts of accounting that are difficult.
So I come into class and hand out a problem for you to tackle before I lecture. Most of time, you'll bring up in your own words many of the principles underlying accounting. So I can bring you around from thinking you can't get it to knowing that you can.
When you finish my class
You'll take away a better understanding of what numbers mean—for one thing, that they're not golden.
Come to UDM if you want
Plenty of hands-on work. We do lots of homework, you'll have lots of chances to practice it, and you'll really learn it.
My favorite part about teaching you is
The challenges you bring to class. You keep me up to date. We talk about world events, stories in the news. And sometimes you send me home with homework!
No other professor can say to you
I caught a lobster in the ocean with my bare hands.

By David Wheeler/Special to the NEMS Daily Journal
TUPELO – Tupelo head coach Gary Enis was pretty grim on Tuesday.
The reason?
The Golden Wave had just lost their Division 2-6A opener for the second season in a row, a 3-0 setback this day to the South Panola Tigers.
"They played better than we did," Enis said. "Hopefully, we'll learn from this."
Both teams struggled offensively, with only five hits between the two teams.
That put pitching at a premium, with the Tigers (8-4, 1-0) getting a clutch performance from Austin Towles.
The South Panola pitcher entered the game with no warning in the bottom of the second after Tigers starter Hunter Ivy had cut his finger on the seams of the baseball.
Towles threw four and third innings, allowing only a scratch single by Tupelo's J. G. Miley in the bottom of the fourth inning.
"We had to revamp everything when we changed pitchers," first year South Panola head coach Justin Reed said. "Towles is a starter for us, but he did not expect to pitch today.
"He had to flip a switch and go out there."
Towles kept Tupelo batters off-balance much of his time on the mound, averting his biggest trouble in the bottom of the fourth. There, Tupelo (8-6, 0-1) loaded the bases with one out, but failed to convert.
"From an offensive standpoint, we need to make solid contact with the ball," Enis said. "Hopefully, we'll have runners on base, and hopefully, someone will step up for us when we played them again Friday."
South Panola took the lead in the top of the second inning on two walks, then a bunt and error.
The Tigers added a run in the fifth inning on a couple of wild pitches, then another in the sixth on an RBI single by Dashawn Lindsay.
Tupelo looks to rebound against the Tigers at Batesville on Friday.

About Average
- Brief Synopsis:
- As the end of sixth grade nears, Jordan Johnson, unhappy that she is only average in appearance, intelligence, and athletic ability, reveals her special skills when disaster strikes her central Illinois elementary school.
- Long Synopsis:
- Can average be amazing? A girl challenges herself to become extraordinary in the latest from bestselling author Andrew Clements.Jordan Johnston is average. Not short, not tall. Not plump, not slim. Not blond, not brunette. Not gifted, not flunking out. Even her shoe size is average. She's ordinary for her school, for her town, for even the whole wide world, it seems. But everyone else? They're remarkable. She sees evidence everywhere--on TV, in magazines, and even in her classroom. Tremendously talented. Stunningly beautiful. Wildly gifted. And some of them are practically her age! Jordan feels doomed to a life of wallowing in the vast, soggy middle. So she makes a goal: By the end of the year, she will discover her great talent. By the end of the year, she will no longer be average. She will find a way to become extraordinary, and everyone will know about it! Well known for his expert ability to relate to kids in a school setting, bestselling author Andrew Clements presents a compelling story of the greatest achievement possible--personal acceptance.

On Aug. 27, the Green River Pirates again set out on a long road trip, this time to the very edge of modern civilization - Manila, Utah. It's not the end of the earth but you can see it from there, that's for sure. The Pirates were set for a double header with determination in their hearts to not let a loss at Wendover set them back. It worked.
From the start the Pirates worked the Manila Mustang's defense with Justin Johnson taking a 2-1 pitch and placing it just over the infield. Once on base, Justin moved to second and third bases with steals and took home on a wild pitch.
Holden Marshall pops one to center for a single and Jason Johnson nails one deeper into center for a double while Hayden Pfander also sends a ball into center for a single while Caleb White joins the party, which brings in Hayden - the fun is just beginning.
In the second inning, with one on base, Holden Marshall connects with the ball and lets it fly deep into left for a home run. Still in the same inning, again with Holden at bat, he jacks one deeper into left field for his second home run and the rout is on with a final score of 25 - 1.
The Pirate defense enjoyed as much success as their offense as they made consecutive plays at third base with Justin Johnson sending a rocket to Hayden Pfander who just has to put his glove in front of the bag and wait for the overly aggressive base runner to slide into it - clock work baby.
The second game pretty much followed suit to first game with a final score of 24 - 5 in three innings. Elias Polito was credited with the win in the first game and Caleb White with the win in the second with Sarah Swalberg getting some mound time in the first game and Spencer Marshall some time at the helm in the second game.

The premature talk of a freeway World Series in the Los Angeles area has turned into a squeamish pileup this season, with emergency calls requesting immediate assistance.
Who could have possibly envisioned at the opening of the season that the only No. 1 the Los Angeles Dodgers and Los Angeles Angels would be fighting for these days would be the top pick in the June 2014 draft, the reward for finishing with the worst record in baseball?
ANGELS: Trout unfazed by expectations
The Dodgers, on a seven-game losing streak and sitting last in the National League West, appear lethargic and overmatched, some of which can be attributed to a rash of injuries.
The Angels somehow look worse while off to the poorest start in franchise history.
The Angels (11-22) have the second-worst record in the American League, while the Dodgers (13-20) have the NL's third-worst record.
Though the presence of the rebuilding Houston Astros in the AL West makes it unlikely, this could be the first time the Dodgers and Angels finish last in the same season. The Dodgers have been around since 1884, and they have finished last two times.
"A year ago, we started off as one of the best teams in baseball," Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti told USA TODAY Sports.
"This is a better club. We've got to overcome injuries we've had. We need to play smarter and stay focused on the end goal and the process it takes to be successful."
SCIOSCIA: On the hot seat
The Dodgers have used the disabled list 14 times, and after opening the season with eight starters they exhausted their supply in three weeks. Yet when you have a $216.5million payroll, the second largest in baseball history, there's little sympathy.
"I feel like a broken record saying it," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly told news reporters Wednesday, "but we really can't feel sorry for ourselves."
The Angels have been without ace Jered Weaver and forced to use a depleted bullpen that has contributed to a 4.68 ERA, ranked 13th in the AL. Still, after shelling out $365 million the last two winters for Albert Pujols and Josh Hamilton, they have lost 11 of their last 14 games and are struggling to stave off the Astros and their major league-low $22million player payroll.
"It will turn," Angels GM Jerry Dipoto told USA TODAY Sports. "Too much talent not to. We need to get our bullpen guys healthy, and that'll help."
And no, neither Colletti nor Dipoto says, at least publicly, his manager is in imminent danger of being fired. Mike Scioscia manages the Angels.
"Right now we are focused on getting out of this together," Dipoto says, "just like we got into it."

The Castle Valley Special Service District has just hired a new manager, Jacob Sharp. Darrel Leamaster is the current manager and he has plans to retire this fall. The governing board of the district agreed it was a good idea to bring the new manager on board well before the retirement of Leamaster so a smooth transition can take place.
Sharp is not new to Emery County, he grew up here. He was employed in Fillmore and living in Meadow before applying for the position at the CVSSD. Sharp was born on July 31, 1978 to Allan and Vicki Sharp. The Sharp family moved to Orangeville when he was 3 years old. Sharp attended Emery County schools and graduated from Emery High in 1996. He spent one year at Utah State University studying engineering before leaving on a mission to the Ukraine.
Upon returning from the Ukraine, Sharp attended school at Utah Valley State College and obtained associate degrees in pre-engineering. Sharp also worked for Wall Contractors and XL Cable. In 2003, he did an internship with the Utah Department of Transportation in Price where he inspected concrete and rebar on construction projects. "I was working with UDOT the year the widening project from Huntington to the Horseshoe Dugway was completed," said Sharp.
From 2004-2005 Sharp worked at the water research laboratory in Logan. Extensive experiments in water research take place at that facility. They work with valves, meters and models. Sharp worked there while completing his bachelors/master's degree at Utah State University in civil engineering.
Sharp worked at Sunrise Engineering in Fillmore from 2005 until the present time. Sharp has been on the job with the CVSSD for two weeks now. The Sharp family currently owns a home in Meadow which they are trying to sell so they can make the move to Emery County.
"We have plans to build a home over here, when our house sells in Meadow. My wife is Brydi Griffin and she is the daughter of Boyd and Trudi Griffin from Cleveland. We have four children. Cannon is 6, Crue is 5, Creek is 3 and Jabry is 2.
"We are excited to move home and the kids are excited to be closer to their grandparents. We have wanted to move home, if I could find a good job.
"I have always been interested in construction and design. I have a lot to learn here at the CVSSD, but it is similar work to what I have been doing with Sunrise. I have been a project manager on several projects where we help cities to get funding. I have worked on culinary and irrigation projects. I helped with the Orangeville Community Center project," said Sharp.
Sharp has passed his state licensing test for professional engineering. There are two tests involved. One is the EIT-engineer in training taken at the end of completion of a bachelors degree and the other test is taken four years later after some practical experience in the field. Sharp has completed and successfully passed both of these tests. At Utah State, you must successfully pass the EIT test before you can graduate.
Leamaster said, "I am leaving in September and we are having a transition period of a few months. I want to take Jacob on a lot of field trips to look at our CVSSD facilities which are substantial. I want to take him out with the crews to look at the various projects we have going to familiarize him with the operations here. The water treatment plants are a big part of our function here at the CVSSD and I guess I just want to work with him from the ground level up. So he can get a feel for what's going on here.
"The toughest thing about the transition will be just transferring all the knowledge of where CVSSD starts and ends. We have been adding and building the system for some 33 years now. Some of the information is on maps, but it's going to take some time to work through everything," said Leamaster.
The position was advertised and applications were taken for the position. The CVSSD governing board appointed a selection committee which reviewed the applicants and four applicants were chosen for an interview. The applicants were interviewed by the mayors on the committee and other members including Brad Giles, Kirt Rasmussen, Neal Peacock, JoAnn Behling, Mike Knop, employee representative and Darrel Leamaster, district manager. The operation of the CVSSD is governed by the administrative control board. The CVSSD is a sub-entity of Emery County. The county sets the property taxes, sets the bonds, and any annexations the district is involved in are under the jurisdiction of the county.
Sharp is looking forward to the challenges of taking the CVSSD into the future and working for the good of the Emery County residents.

Apple Caves to Maps Outrage Adding Google Tool on IPhone
Apple Inc. (AAPL), caving to user outrage over faulty directions in its home-grown navigation tool, has let Google Inc. (GOOG)'s mapping application back onto the iPad and iPhone mobile devices.
The free Google Maps app is available in more than 40 countries and 29 languages, Google said in a blog posting. Google was widely expected to introduce its own app after the version of Apple's iOS mobile software released in September excluded its popular built-in tool.
With the mapping episode, consumers have been caught in the middle of a long-brewing rivalry between Apple and Google, two of the world's largest technology companies, which are competing for dominance in smartphones and tablet computers. Critics have faulted Apple's map application for being unreliable, helping Google's new program to shoot to the top of Apple's App Store rankings today after its release.
"It's embarrassing for Apple to reuse Google's map application as it suggests Apple failed to meet market expectations," said Hwang Min-Seong, a Hong Kong-based analyst at Samsung Securities Co. "This shows how much harder Apple had to push itself to come up with great innovations, only for it to end up as a big mistake."
Apple shares slipped 1.5 percent to $531.17 at 12:24 p.m. in New York, while Google rose less than 1 percent to $702.92.
IOS, Android
Tom Neumayr, a spokesman at Cupertino, California-based Apple, declined to comment.
For its own map program for iOS software, which runs iPhones and iPads, the company added new features such as turn- by-turn navigation and fly-over views of landscapes. The criticism of the application prompted Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook to issue a rare apology to consumers.
"People around the world have been asking for Google Maps on iPhone," Google said in the blog post. "Starting today, we're pleased to announce that Google Maps is here."
Google, maker of the world's most popular search engine, had provided the mapping tools that had been installed on every Apple tablet and smartphone since the iPhone's debut in 2007. The companies' relationship has been tested since Google began providing the Android software platform for free to mobile-phone makers that compete with Apple, such as Samsung Electronics Co. (005930) and HTC Corp. (2498)
Android Share
Booming demand for Android-based smartphones is helping Google add market share at the expense of other software providers, Google Chairman Eric Schmidt said on Dec. 11 in an interview at Bloomberg's headquarters in New York.
Android snared 72 percent of the market in the third quarter, while Apple had 14 percent, according to Gartner Inc. Customers are activating more than 1.3 million Android devices a day, Schmidt said.
While Apple's map program doesn't appear to have hurt sales of the iPhone 5, Cook said he was "extremely sorry for the frustration" the app caused consumers. "We are doing everything we can to make Maps better," Cook wrote in a September letter to customers posted on Apple's website.
Schmidt said on Sept. 25 that Apple should have stuck with Google Maps.
"It would have been better if they had kept ours," Schmidt said in Tokyo. "What were we going to do, force them not to change their mind? It's their call."
Google has been building out its online mapping software since 2005, using cars and satellites to accumulate data that helps improve its accuracy and reliability.
"It's a net positive for Apple; there were a lot of questions of if or when Google Maps would return to the iPhone," said Scott Kessler, an analyst at S&P Capital IQ. "It's good to see that it's back."
Pushing Improvements
A team at Apple has been working to fix the mapping mistakes, focusing first on some of the most glaring problems, said one person familiar with the matter. The satellite imagery over the U.K. has been improved, and labels for popular U.S. landmarks such as the Washington Monument have been corrected.
Apple, which also eliminated the pre-installed app for Google's YouTube video service, built the replacement map program because it wanted to scale back its relationship with Google, two people familiar with Apple's development of maps said in September. Google then separately released its YouTube app for the iPhone and iPad.
Apple's bungled introduction of new mapping features contributed to the ouster of mobile-software chief Scott Forstall, whose departure was announced in October. Apple also fired another senior manager in charge of the mapping software.
Apple has been building up its expertise in mapping. In the past few years, the company has acquired small mapping companies including C3 Technologies, Poly9 and Placebase. Apple is licensing location information from other companies such as TomTom NV (TOM2) and OpenStreetMap.

Skip to comments.Suspect in NY slaying, child rape, beaten in jail
Posted on 03/16/2013 3:36:05 PM PDT by Arthurio
SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) A man accused of killing a Syracuse woman and raping her 10-year-old daughter during a carjacking was beaten and suffered a broken nose on his first day in jail, authorities said.
David Renz had a swollen face and tissues stuffed up both nostrils when he appeared in federal court Friday to face a probation violation charge.
(Excerpt) Read more at chron.com ...
Does anyone have a tissue?
Get out of jail free card and Medal of Honor to the man/men who lance this boil.
Yeah.....that's a shame.....why all of this could have been avoided if hehad only been taught NOT to rape...........
Why is he breathing?
Ask Mr. Monk.
Was hoping to read the bastard got beaten to DEATH in prison..too bad he only got a boo boo on his face
Sounds like he's never make the weekend in general population
The creep is still overpaid.
Some NY lib might.
The night's still young!
couldnt happen to a nicer guy...
Funny how stuff like that happens.
Davie Boy, I hope the pain is long lasting and unbearable.
She had no weapon to defend herself or her daughter.
This is how far America has fallen.
anyone got a hankey?
I hope this becomes a daily occurence for him
Blame the jail for slippery floors.
They need to drop all charges against everyone in the cell block. Maybe even buy them a bear. Way to to go boys.
no jailhouse justice is wrong. The state should put on big boy pants and try and speedily execute him if guilty. That is our role as citizens of the state.
To expect criminals to do our dirty work, is moral cowardice.
Awwww. My heart truly breaks for him. (Is the /sarc even needed here?)
do we have a name yet? Have not heard a name.
"Jail Justice Delivered, "
Not exactly—there is the murder of the mom.
"Maybe even buy them a bear."
Yeah, they could let the bear have a turn with him too
That shower floor must be slippery.
Hmmm, the mother killed by multiple stab wounds. Didn't he get the message that was illegal in NYS?
I guess Cuomo and his mafia buddies will have to start working on knife control.
My giveashit is not kicking over. It should be noted tho, based on his picture, that this guy is seriously compromised mentally and may be an example of fetal alcohol syndrome.
As a friend of mine with corrections management experience first explained to me, ordinary criminals — burglars, drug dealers, robbers, and the like — hate those who mistreat children, both on moral principle and because so many criminals suffered abuse themselves as children.
almost justice,,he hasn't been sexually assaulted yet has he?.....
I'm sure he just fell up a ladder,or fell off the curb...like the guy who stabbed a marine,,suffered multiple broken bones afterwards and police report mentioned he fell off the curb.
Jailhouse justice. Zhit happens.
Yeah my giveashit is not kickin in neither. But this guy has some serious mental defects. And fetal alchohol syndrome sounds bout right. Probably shoulda been put in an institution years ago, and his mother should have been put in jail.
I have relatives who worked for the OCSD in and guarded "The Pub", which is what the Public Safety Building (Onondaga county jail) used to be called. They told me that criminals, despite their lawlessness, had 3 rules: Don't mess with kids, don't mess with women and don't mess with the clergy.
Most of them had wives/girlfriends/kids on the outside whom they could not protect, since they themselves were incarcerated, so they frowned on predators of women/children. They also respected clergy, since many got religion once incarcerated or relied on clergy back home to assist their families.
People being put into the jail who had violated this "code of honor" were treated with extreme hostility by the other criminals. Sounds like the code is still in force.....
I try to avoid jail. Bad $hit happens in there all the time.
I hope it's the correct guy.
Yeah. Bummer that he's still breathin'.
Death is too good for that piece of trash. He shouldnt go to court he should be killed immediatly.
>>Yeah. Bummer that hes still breathin.<<
I hope the general population gets another shot...
oops,,, spell'n ain't one of my better points .
"Dahmnerize" him, one day at a time, slowly and painfully.
good outcome
I'd still like to see that bear have his turn with that POS. Spelling isn't my strong suit either

This painting shows Nyoongar men and youth gathered together on a veranda discussing cultural and community matters. This meeting would have occurred during the Native Title case depicting an elder sitting in the background listening and passing wisdom.
It talks about the different considerations impacting upon cultural survival such as the education of our youth, respect for elders, the creation of positive roles for our men, the influence of Western religion and strong community governance. When the Western Australian Government appealed against the landmark High Court Native Title decision on the grounds that Nyoongar people had no continual practiced culture and were a fragmented community prior to colonialism, it was a direct attack upon Nyoongar people's cultural survival and demonstrated the legal and social barriers Aboriginal people must still overcome in Australia today. For when Aboriginal people can claim land in capital cities such as Perth, then the way we are viewed socially, historically and economically must also change. It seems that the only way we can challenge power structures and to enforce social justice for our people is through the Western legal system in this country.

I participated in a panel at MIT a couple weeks back, discussing the future of music with some folks I have a ton of respect for: Nancy Baym (University of Kansas), João Brasil (Brazilian artist), Chuck Fromm (Worship Leader Media), Erin McKeown (musical artist and fellow with the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard University) and Brian Whitman (The Echo Nest). The Futures of Entertainment folks just made the video available. It's long (two hours!) but I think we covered a fair amount of ground without getting boring.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- After getting beat up by Atlanta on Sunday, the Chiefs are shuffling off to Buffalo.
Sunday it was a tale of two halves with the Chiefs playing well in the first half, but then mistakes and turnovers cost them in the second.
The Falcons took advantage and scored 40 points on K.C.
Last year the Bills did the same thing in Arrowhead, scoring 41 points and ending Eric Berry's season.
Make no mistake, the Chiefs remember.
"Everybody know and everybody seen it when Berry went down in game two with the chop block and everybody remember that so it's just trying to get ready for them," said Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles. "I believe in my teammates and we got great players on this team, we just gotta come together and put it together for next week. "
