Are superfoods really that super?
09 August 2014 , 8:27 AM by Rob Minshull
Colds and the flu affect almost everyone, but apart from medicine and a trip to your GP, how does a change in diet affect immunity?
Are there everyday foods which can keep the dreaded lurgy at bay? And what about the so-called superfoods: are they really that super?

Wealthier nations all spend more on health. However, the U.S. spends well above what would be expected, compared with its peers. McKinsey Global Institute used data from 13 industrialized nations to develop a measure it called Estimated Spending According to Wealth (ESAW). By McKinsey's calculations, $477 billion of the $1.7 trillion the U.S. spent on health care in 2003 was in excess of what it should have spent based on its wealth. Analysts said the condition of Americans' health did not explain the higher costs. Hospital and physician care accounted for 85 percent of the excess spending.
McKinsey said a huge driver of costs is the fact that providers are expanding capacity, in part because they can produce their own demand. This echoes ample research showing that health-care use rises when facilities expand or open, independent of population health. McKinsey also cited technological innovation that invariably delivers more expensive care, and the fact that patients are insensitive to high prices because their out-of-pocket costs are, in general, so low.
In a classic Health Affairs journal study called "It's The Prices, Stupid: Why The United States Is So Different From Other Countries," the researchers argued that Americans spend more on health care even though they use fewer health services than other developed nations. The difference, they said, was that the U.S. health-care providers charged higher prices.
For example, the U.S. consumes 10 percent fewer drugs per capita than other industrialized nations. However, the U.S. spends 70 percent more for drugs. The U.S. also has comparatively lower disease prevalence because it has a younger population and lower smoking rates. It also has the lowest hospital usage compared with 10 peer nations and ranks eighth out of 10 in the number of physician visits.
The reason for higher U.S. prices is that buyers lack negotiating power – or choose not to exercise it. Other nations consolidate their bargaining power either in their governments or as cooperatives. They negotiate one standard – and invariably lower – price for health services and pharmaceutical drugs. In the U.S., there is no government purchaser willing to bargain on behalf of constituents. The continuing consolidation of hospitals and physicians leaves health plans in weaker negotiating positions.
The government shies away from using its buying power. Mike Leavitt, Health and Human Services secretary under President George W. Bush, said he opposed negotiating Medicare drug prices because "it really isn't about government negotiating drug prices. It's a surrogate for a much larger issue, which is really government-run health care."
During the health-reform debate, the Obama administration dropped the "public option" insurance plan, even though it would have been one of several available options on the health insurance exchanges. It also decided not to seek to negotiate lower drug prices for Medicare.
Other nations do not have a choice on whether to drive a hard bargain with health-care providers. If they spent the same portion of GDP as the United States did, the required tax burden likely would cripple their economies. The United States is not at that point, but is well on its way.
The International Federation of Health Plans surveyed 12 industrialized nations on the costs of 14 common procedures. Each nation but the U.S. reported one price. The U.S. reported a range of prices because of its fragmented negotiating landscape. The price differences were significant. The cost of delivering a baby was $2,667 in Canada, $2,147 in Germany and an average of $8,435 in the U.S. A comparable length of hospital stay cost $1,679 in Spain, $7,707 in Canada and ranged from $14,427 to $45,902 in the U.S..
Even though U.S. physicians deliver less care than doctors in other industrialized nations do, their average income is about three times greater. The ratio of physician income to that of the average U.S. employee is 5.5, compared with 1.5 in Great Britain and Sweden.
Health reform attempts to reduce the amount of care consumed, rather than attempt to control prices. It will encourage doctors and hospitals to form accountable care organizations (ACOs) and pays them a fixed sum to discourage unnecessary care. The law also funds comparative-effectiveness research in an effort to reduce less effective treatments. However, many health-policy analysts consider these measures too weak to counteract the proliferation of expensive procedures and emerging, costly technologies.
The fragmented health-care sector is also larded with excessive administrative costs. The McKinsey Global Institute estimated that administration accounted for 21 percent of ESAW. Most of that is because of the incredibly complex U.S. private insurance system. The U.S. spends about six times more on insurance administration than other industrialized nations.
Consumers weigh in
Few health consumers blame technology and market power for rising health-care costs. Instead, they point to favored demons, real and imagined. In a HealthDay/Harris Interactive poll, 6 out of 10 blamed insurance companies and pharmaceutical firms. About half blame hospitals.
Health economists say insurance and drug-company profits account for about 2 percent of total health-care spending. A 2009 analysis of hospital finances found that the median profit margin for U.S. hospitals was zero.
More than 1 in 3 poll respondents blamed obese and overweight people. The least-cited reason: Their own excessive use of health services.

text: hey guys, once again, here i am looking to gain some more of your wisdom...i began my gauntlets this week, and started with the fiberglassing reinforcement....but ya know what? i should have done the hinges first, then the fiberglassing.... learning as i go....so here is the first step...i used regular 12" hinges from lowes, cut them to the length i wanted, then cut slits to get the upper and lower halves to "set down" on the hinge...scissors worked pretty good, they were all i had to cut the gauntlets...then i used just regular screws, couldnt find anything more decorative, so if you any ideas let me know....and used faucet washers and nuts that came with the screws to secure...thanks for the input in advance!!

Science proves TRIOLOGY™ promotes healing by
killing bacteria without elimination of healing cells
Because the TRIOLOGY™ advanced antiseptic oral cleansing system successfully integrates with saliva, it is more effective than chlorhexidine gluconate at removing tartar, debris, and irritants that contribute to gum infection and inflammation. Initial studies have found TRIOLOGY™ to be more effective than chlorhexidine gluconate at inhibiting the growth of microbes, and unlike chlorhexidine gluconate, TRIOLOGY™ is not associated with risks such as restoration staining and increased tartar buildup.
|TRIOLOGY™ Debriding Oral Rinse
|chlorhexidine gluconate oral rinse
|Integrates with saliva for superior cleansing
|Superior inhibition of plaque-causing bacteria
|Safe for women who are pregnant or nursing
|Safe for long-term use
|Does not stain restorations
|Does not stain teeth and tongue
|Is pleasant tasting — will not alter taste buds
|Does not cause mouth / throat irritation
|Will not increase tartar buildup

NEWARK, Del. - Tewaaraton nominees Will Manny and Anthony Biscardi combined for 13 of the Minutemen's 28 points as the No. 2 UMass men's lacrosse team defeated Delaware 17-6 on Friday evening to conclude the regular-season. UMass posted its first perfect regular-season since 1969 - the only other squad in program history to do so.
The Minutemen also tied the program's record for wins in a season at 13 and will have a chance to break that record next Wednesday in the CAA Semifinals at Garber Field (7 PM). The win improved UMass to 13-0 overall and 6-0 in the CAA. Delaware concluded its season with a 6-9 record and a 1-5 mark in league play.
Manny led all scorers with eight points on six goals and two assists, while Biscardi had four goals and one assist. Kyle Smith had two goals, two assists and four groundballs, while Art Kell (2 goals, 1 assist), Mike Fetterly (1 goal, 1 assist), and Steve D'Amario (1 goal, 2 assists). Tom Celentani anchored a stout defensive effort with three caused turnovers and four groundballs aiding goalie Tim McCormack who earned the win with 11 saves.
The Blue Hens were led by Carter Bloor who scored three goals. Leading scorer Gran Kaleikau was held to just one goal and one assist on the day. Brett Anton took the loss in cage making 10 saves, but allowing 13 goals. Chris Herbert relieved Anton for the final 16:56 of play making four saves.
The two teams traded goals to start the game, but the Minutemen caught fire bridging a five goal run over the first and second quarters to take a 6-1 lead with 3:13 remaining before halftime.
Bloor tallied the first goal of the second half to pull Delaware within four, 7-3, but Biscardi scored his second tally of the day just over two minutes later to spark a three goal run. Manny capped the quick run with an unassisted goal at the 6:55 mark of the third extending the lead to 10-3. The Minutemen closed the third quarter on a three goal run making the score 13-4 heading into the fourth.
Manny and Kell each scored midway through the fourth to close out the UMass scoring. Delaware's John Austin scored with 64 seconds left in the game to give the 17-6 final.
The Minutemen held a 42-to-29 shot advantage in the game. Sharp-shooting proved the difference — especially in the third quarter where the Minutemen posted six goals on 10 shots. UMass also won 15-of-26 faceoffs and were 2-for-8 on the extra-man opportunity while holding Delaware 0-for-7 on the man advantage.

Catania 3-2 AS Roma
Sunday December 21, 2008
Francesco Totti could be out for more than a month after damaging a thigh muscle during Roma's 3-2 defeat at Catania on Sunday. On the same day that Arsenal lost their skipper Cesc Fabregas to injury, the Gunners' next Champions League opponents also saw their captain limp off. Totti lasted just 31 minutes and was holding his thigh when he left the pitch shortly after trying a back-heeled pass to Julio Baptista. Totti, who has five goals in 10 league appearances this season, is expected to be fit for the two-legged tie with Arsenal.
Totti's injury compounded a miserable day for Roma as their five-game winning streak came to an abrupt end. Catania were three up by the 54th minute after Davide Baiocco's opener and a brace from Japanese forward Takayuki Morimoto. Two goals inside five minutes from Mirko Vucinic and Jeremy Menez gave the Giallorossi hope with 13 minutes left, but Catania held on to leave Roma in 11th place, 19 points adrift of leaders Inter Milan.

What about throwing a line over a limb that is near the swarm and hoisting a hive box up there to tempt them with?Ed
Well, they were gone when we got home today. :(. Instheswamp and Jim - that is actually what mikel was going to try this evening when he got home! I wish we had thought of it on sunday. I still don't know if he could have gotten it high enough and around the right limb.Scott - I actually had to talk him out of it! He was all ready to climb up and try to cut the limb off and lower it down! I told him NO WAY, he would break his neck! This thing was at least 3 stories high! lolMoots - being in the city, I haven't really put up any swarm traps. But I guess i'll be starting. I hadn't really thought about trapping my own swarms. :) Learning learning all the time. Sounds like you have been getting lots of swarms near the ground too, though! Congrats!Oh well. Iddee as usual you are right, i obsess! I will focus on the nucs. Though you can bet I'll be keeping my eyes peeled when I walk around the neighborhood!Thanks for the suggestions everyone. You guys always make me feel better!love,ziffa

|First thing first! Do your complexion, and powder well, as I haven't as you can see haha.
And if you want you can apply a thin layer of primer, I used a tiny bit of Too Faced Shadow Insurance Glitter Glue on the brow bone for future applying!
|Colour the waterline and paint a line under the bottom lashes. I've used NYX Slim Eye Pencil in Electric Blue. The line should follow the eye, but doesn't have to be too neat...
|...because it'll be smudged out!
|And end up like this.
|Time to colour-prime the lid! This is NYX Slim Lip Pencil in Currant. And I was rather careless drawing it again.
|Simply because I'll blend this one too! I used an angled synthetic brush to make it easier to make a soft wing
|Like this!
|Time for some action! I've used a pigment from MadMinerals called Furious...
|...and applied it to the crease. Furious is a rather blue purple, but with the reddish pink underneath it gets a whole new colour on the lid!
|And for the lower lashline I used UR Fine Mutli Use Pigment also from MADMinerals on the pencil I applied earlier
|Then I wanted to add a soft wing with the blue and grabbed a small pencil with some Comet Eye Dust from Medusa on it
|I also blurred it in to the other blue pigment
|Enough? No! Why not bring up that wing a notch?
|There! A soft wing is what we got now!
|Puzzle Cube on the brow bone and around the tear duct to meet up with both UR Fine & Furious!
|But a little darker blue close to the lashes is never wrong!
|Do your brow (I filled in my brows with Tri Brow Colour from Make Up Store) and pick out your mascara of choice! This is Skinny Brush Mascara by Eyeko.
|Tadaaa! And it is done! Look result down below!

Women's Soccer Edged by Youngstown State, 2-1
By Rachel Buck (@GBRachel)
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – Youngstown State registered a goal in each half as it edged the Green Bay women's soccer team, 2-1, in Horizon League action on Saturday afternoon at a rainy Farmers National Bank Stadium in Youngstown.
The loss evened Green Bay's Horizon League record at 1-1 and dropped the squad to 4-4-4 overall. The win moved the Penguins to 1-1 in the conference and 3-8-1 overall.
Youngstown got on the board first in the 12th minute. Cara Armstrong netted her second goal of the season with a shot from 40 yards out that landed in the middle of the penalty box and took a huge bounce over the outstretched arms of Nastacia Behle (St. Paul, Mo.) to put the home team up, 1-0.
The Phoenix responded with a string of three shots by Hannah Kernen (Belleville, Wis.), Heidi Hartmann (Plymouth, Minn.) and Hekla Palmadottir (Akranes, Iceland) in the 17th minute. Kernen finally broke through with just over 13 minutes remaining in the opening stanza, sending the ball to the upper right corner from 20 yards out to tie the game at 1-1.
The Penguins grabbed back the lead in the 52nd minute. Chelsey Haney had a breakaway opportunity and finished to the top right corner of the goal to push Youngstown ahead, 2-1. Green Bay saw several opportunities in the closing minutes, including three consecutive corner kicks in the 87th minute but the squad was unable to capitalize.
For the match, Green Bay led in corner kicks, 5-2, with all of those opportunities coming in the second half. Youngstown led in shots, 17-9. Kernen led the Phoenix with three shots, while Behle played the entire match in goal and made seven saves.
Green Bay returns to conference action next Saturday, making the trip to Detroit for a Horizon League matchup at noon.

My oldest sister almost burned her house down in Tucson using water in a 1 gallon glass jar. She put the jar of water under her carport to take along on a short car trip when we were going to go run her dog one day. Well, the sun hit the jar just right, and through the water it started a cardboard box on fire behind the jar. Fortunately, we were leaving at that time and found it quickly enough to take care of the problem.

Sebastien Squillaci again captains the side and is partnered by Johan Djourou at the heart of the Arsenal defence.
Bacary Sagna misses out with an ankle injury so Emmanuel Eboue starts at right back while Lukasz Fabianski remains in goal.

Revisiting historical ocean surface temperatures
Readers may recall discussions of a paper by Thompson et al (2008) back in May 2008. This paper demonstrated that there was very likely an artifact in the sea surface temperature (SST) collation by the Hadley Centre (HadSST2) around the end of the second world war and for a few years subsequently, related to the different ways ocean temperatures were taken by different fleets. At the time, we reported that this would certainly be taken into account in revisions of data set as more data was processed and better classifications of the various observational biases occurred. Well, that process has finally resulted in the publication of a new compilation, HadSST3.
Figure: The new HadSST3 compilation of global sea surface temperature anomalies and the uncertainty.
HadSST3 not only greatly expands the amount of raw data processed, it makes some important improvements in how the uncertainties are dealt with and has a more Bayesian probabilistic treatment of the necessary bias corrections. That is to say that instead of picking the most likely factors and providing a single reconstruction, they perform a Monte Carlo experiment using a distribution of factors and provide a set of 100 reconstructions – the average and spread of which inform the uncertainties. This is a noteworthy approach and one which is likely to set a new standard for other reconstructions. (The details of the procedures are outlined in two new papers Kennedy et al, part I and part II).
One potential problem is going to be keeping the analysis up-to-date. Currently, HadSST2 (and HadCRUT3) use the real time updating related to NCEP-GTS. However, this service was scheduled to be phased out in March 2011 (was it?), in lieu of near-real time updating of the underlying ICOADS dataset. This is what HadSST3 uses, but unfortunately, the bias corrections in the modern period rely on being able to track individual fleets. For security reasons, data since 2007 has been anonymized (so you can't tell what ship reported what data), and so the HadSST3 analysis currently stops at 2006. Apparently this is being worked on, so hopefully a solution can be found. Note that the ocean temperatures in the GISTEMP analysis use the Reynolds satellite SST data from 1979 and so are unaffected by the ICOADS security issue.
The ocean temperature history is obviously a big part of the global surface air temperature history and these new estimates will be used eventually in updates of the HadCRUT3 product. Currently HadCRUT uses HadSST2 and we can expect that to be updated soon.
Obviously, when a new analysis is performed, it is interesting to see how it differs from previous ones. The differences between HadSST3 and HadSST2 are shown here:
and are important in a few key time-periods – the 1940s (because of issues highlighted previously), the 1860s to 1890s (more extensive data), and perhaps the last few years (related to more minor changes in technologies and corrections). The biggest difference around 1946-8 is just over 0.2ºC.

Hi everyone I have a 3yr old girl, I have yet to wean her off her bottle. What tips can you give me so that she can begin to drink from a glass and eat more solid food?
Is your daughter still using a pacifier, and if so, do you want to wean her off the pacifier too? Having this information will help me answer your question and give you better tips.
Warm regards,
Here are some tips I've offered to other mums in their effort to wean their children off the bottle.
Many children will breastfeed until they are 2 1/2 or 3. I've found that most child-led weaning takes place around this age. What this often means is that children have a need to cuddle and suck into their 3's. Usually they are getting all the nutrients they need from their food, green smoothies and goat milk or cow milk that they take from a cup. It's the sucking and closeness that they want before bed and when they wake up in the morning.
So I would suggest that you only give your daughter a bottle when you are holding her. If she doesn't want to be held, then she doesn't get the bottle. This would be a similar situation to a breastfeeding relationship. If the child gets off the mother's lap, she doesn't get to take the breast with her and she knows the only time she can suck is when she's on mum's lap.
You can also offer your daughter a cup before she has her meal. If you're offering her a cup of milk, she may drink more milk and eat less food this way, which isn't the best. So you can always try giving her her food first, and then offering a cup later.
Green smoothies can be considered food and you could offer this at meal time. You may also find that because your daughter is used to sucking, that she may prefer a straw. 3 year olds do very well with straws and there are even children's cups you can get that come with a straw. This might be a good first transition from bottle to cup. Bottle nipple, to straw (both sucking action) to sippy cup to cup. Or bottle nipple to sippy cup (both sucking action) to cup. Or, as many mums do, just bottle nipple to cup.
At 3 years of age your daughter should handle a cup without too much trouble. Just don't fill the cup very much and let her start to experiment with it (might want to try water first).
Have you tried taking the bottle away yet? If so, did you replace it with anything? What was her reaction? Replacing it with offering to cuddle and read a book might help.
Hope this helps.
Warm regards,

Fire fighters react to signs with humility
POCATELLO, Idaho - After the Charlotte Fire was out, a different kind of spark started flying in Mink Creek.
People started putting up 'Thank you' signs in their front yards, extending gratitude to the fire fighters who kept their homes safe.
There's one that reads, 'Thank you firefighters' at the end of the Minors' driveway. The thanks, because the family's home is still standing.
"We just felt like, 'Okay we'll put up this sign and maybe they will see it,' or we just wanted them to know how grateful we are to still have our home," Rochelle Minor said with tears in her eyes.
Minor's emotions are still high, because the family thought their house was gone.
"Seeing it come over the ridge and knowing it was just down the canyon and the sheriffs were evacuating people it was like 'We're not going to have a home tonight,'" Charelle Minor said.
But as the Minors were being evacuated, fire crews from across the state were heading in to fight the blaze.
Matt Huxtable was one of the firefighters at a house on Bannock Highway that looked like it would be consumed by flames. Firefighters were able to save it.
"We just stayed as long as we could, held off as much as we could," Huxtable said.
Huxtable said he was just doing his job.
"Just do the best I can do, I guess, earn my paycheck," he said.
Fellow firefighter Blake Roberts said they're not just here during disasters, but anytime people need help.
"We're more than happy to do that whenever we're asked, so I don't consider myself a hero, no," Roberts said.
But for Rochelle Minor, who is in the middle of a fight against cancer, the word "hero" might not be enough.
"The day we moved in it took a lot of me, I was like, 'I am so grateful to have this house, so grateful to have this house,'" she said.
The Minors also wanted to thank Western State Caterpillar for creating a dozer line around their property and their neighbors' property.
The Pocatello firefighters credit the other agencies with helping to protect homes.
Investigators still have not said what caused the Charlotte fire.

By Chris Harris
Jack Wilshere was satisfied with Arsenal's points haul from the festive season and he believes Arsène Wenger's side can achieve even more when they close out games more effectively.
The Gunners beat Chelsea and Birmingham and drew with Wigan and Manchester City in the space of nine days over Christmas and the New Year to stay in touch with Premier League leaders Manchester United.
However the manner of Arsenal's stalemate at Wigan - they conceded a late equaliser against ten men - concerned Wilshere.
"Overall I thought we had a good Christmas period," he told Arsenal.com. "We got eight points from four games and we're close to Manchester United so I think it's been a successful period.
"I think we need to learn to see out games a bit more. We've had some disappointing results when we've been leading and teams have come back to draw or beat us. I think we should close games out a bit better but we will do that."
Wilshere could not have wished for a better 2010 - he started it as a highly-rated prospect and ended it as an Arsenal regular and an England international. The midfielder turned 19 on New Year's Day and he believes 2011 will be another good year for the Club's young talent.
"I think there are a few youngsters coming through," he said.
"Emmanuel Frimpong is injured but when he comes back he will have a big year, there are a few like Jay Emmanuel-Thomas, there are a few on loan, hopefully Kieran Gibbs can stay fit and have a good year too.
"For me, last year was everything I dreamed of. I've had so many highlights - I've played for England, broken into the Arsenal first team - 2010 was a dream. I have learned to play for the team too. Maybe before I was playing for myself too much but the boss has told me to play more for the team.
"I have got to try and carry on playing in the first team, keep my place and hopefully push on into the international team. I want to win trophies with Arsenal and hopefully we can do that in 2011."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Posted by Alex Cullen on the Enterprise Architecture Professionals Blog on April 6, 2012
I just recently had a conversation with Peter Hinssen, one of our keynote speakers at Forrester's colocated CIO Forum and EA Forum in Las Vegas (May 3-4) and our EMEA CIO Forum and EA Forum in Paris (June 19-20).
Peter is both a dynamic speaker and a provocative thought-leader on the rapidly changing relationship of technology, business, and "the business function called IT." Here's a short summary of this conversation — and a preview of what he will be talking about at our forums.
On "The New Normal":
Technology has stopped being "technology," and digital has just become "normal": We've entered the world of the "New Normal." The rate of change of the technology world has become the beat to which markets transform. But the rate of change "outside" companies is now faster than the internal velocity of organizations. But how will companies evolve to cope with the changes as a result of the New Normal? How will organizations evolve to respond quickly enough when markets turn into networks of intelligence?
What this means for IT:

JThe army of beetles out there seem to outnumber the moths but both are equally deadly to a honey bee colony...and they *are* deadly. You beeks living up in the far northern areas are blessed not to have to deal with these beetles!
Bee Curious, join a local club also. An you may want to check out You Tube , just type in what you would like to see. There are numerous sites were you can pick up bee stuff also, this site has a lot. Good luck with the class and bees once you get em.
Bee Curious, ... Beekeepers are a special breed....and for your information non-beekeepers refer to us as a "strange" breed...the adjectives are kinda interchangeable there. :-D Keep your studies going and get your hands in some bees...they are amazing!!Everyone who knows me knows to expected the unexpected from me--so I fit right in here. :th_thumbsupup: I volunteer one morning a week at the beautiful Chicago Botanic Garden. At a Volunteer Meeting today, I asked to join the volunteers that maintain the Garden's 4 hives + observation hive, but they don't need anyone at the moment (they'll keep me on file.)That's some good advice from Joe about youtube...loads of information there...it's always good to get that visual reinforcement about certain things.I say if it's not on YouTube, it doesn't exist! BC, if you can, make the gap between the porch and the screen a thin-edged one...this makes it harder for the beetle to hold onto and helps him/her fall into the oil....if you simply leave a gap between porch and the screen I don't think the beetles will be as prone to fall into the oil tray...in my mind they need a thin edge (light some metal flashing) that is difficult for them to navigate to the opposite side.Ed, do you mean that the surface at the entrance should be a thin edge (*TE) piece as opposed to a blunt wooden edge, something like this?SCREEN GAP *TE PORCH (with the ---being a sheet metal 'edge' sticking out and :::: is thicker wood)-------------------- -------::::::::::::: NOT DRAWN TO SCALE

Bengals outslug Packers 34-30
CINCINNATI -- Terence Newman returned a fumble 58 yards for a touchdown with 3:47 left, rallying the Cincinnati Bengals to a 34-30 victory over the Green Bay Packersin a game that came down to who made the final flub.
Each team had four turnovers, leading to wild momentum swings. The last one came on a goofy play.
The Packers (1-2) went on fourth-and-1 from the Cincinnati 30. Rookie Johnathan Franklin fumbled at the line and safety Reggie Nelsonpicked it up and started running.
Aaron Rodgersstripped the ball from Nelson, but Newman scooped it up and went the final 58 yards.
Cincinnati (2-1) clinched it by batting down Rodgers' fourth-down pass at its 20-yard line with 1:21 left.

Louisville, Ky. • Russ Smith ranked Louisville's 80-77 victory over Kentucky on Saturday as one of the five favorites of his career.
Makes sense, considering he played a key role in ending the No. 4 Cardinals' four-game losing streak against the rival Wildcats.
Smith scored 21 points, including five of Louisville's final 13, and grabbed seven rebounds to help the Cardinals hold off Kentucky in an up-and-down game.
The effort comes nearly a year after he came off the bench to score 30 in the Cardinals' 69-62 loss to the Wildcats in Lexington, one of two defeats last season to their in-state rivals that included last season's national semifinal. Kentucky went on to win its eighth national championship.
"This one probably ranks as one of the top five biggest wins of my life," said the junior guard, whose list includes last season's NCAA regional final, the round of 16 and Louisville's two wins that clinched the Big East Conference championship last March.
"We know where we messed up and we know the mistakes we made, but at the end of the day it's a win. It's not a conference win, but it's a great nonconference win. It's a great win for the city. We're actually more happy for our fans than for ourselves. ... I guess revenge is the word, but it feels good beating the team that knocked you out of the Final Four."
Especially since that team, Kentucky (8-4), resides about 80 miles east and had recently owned the Battle of the Bluegrass. Louisville (12-1) now has bragging rights, and Smith had help in getting them for the Cardinals. Sophomore forward Chane Behanan had 20 points, seven rebounds and three steals, including a steal of Archie Goodwin's pass that led to his dunk with 18 seconds remaining that sealed the victory.
No. 1 Duke 90, Santa Clara 77 • In Durham, N.C., Seth Curry scored 12 of his season-high 31 points during the late run that helped Duke (12-0) pull away for a victory over pesky Santa Clara. Mason Plumlee had 22 points and 13 rebounds for the Blue Devils.
North Carolina 79, No. 20 UNLV 73 • In Chapel Hill, N.C., P.J. Hairston scored 15 points in his first career start for North Carolina (10-3). Dexter Strickland added a season-high 16 points for the Tar Heels (10-3), who turned away a second-half surge by the Runnin' Rebels (11-2) to earn the program's 63rd straight home win against nonconference opponents.
Saturday's scores
• No. 1 Duke 90,Santa Clara 77

Found this one today. It's like new, with 5 mags, box, papers and tools.
Very interesting design. Flat, and easy to conceal. The mechanism seems like it would be very safe.
Just guessing from the photo, but I assume the slide has been hard chromed.. This would "indicate" to me that the surplus P7 was probably a "B" (or even C) grade import.
It could have been an "A" import, but it seems just from reading the various firearm forums (HKPRO & ParkCitiesTactical) that most folks preferred to buy the B/C's if they planned to have the slide hard chromed.
As to the hard chroming itself, I think it would depend on who did it, and the quality of the job.. A good job might increase the value, potentially, to a buyer, a bad job, not.
The mags are going for roughly $50-60.00 each.. Some time back they were even more, but I think the prices have leveled out now. So figure @ 5 mags you are getting roughly $250.00-$300.00 value in the mags alone. (I have seven).
The tools (carbon scraper/bore brush?) are worth something, just not sure how much that stuff is going for now.
But whether the P7 was an A/B/C grade, IF the internals look good chances are it'll still be shooting just fine long after you have left the scene. These P7's were wayyy overbuilt, and it's very seldom you hear anyone complaining about one breaking.
I originally had 3 "A" grade LSP imports, but sold one to finance an HK P2000sk..
I enjoy the feel of the sk a bit better than the P7, but I'm not selling my other 2 P7's...
There are a few firearms that I think of as "classics", such as the Walther P38 (P1), the Browning HiPower, and I consider the fine HK P7 as one also.
I'm betting if you buy the P7 you WON'T wind up using it for daily cc, altho it does a fine job being so THIN and concealable. But if you enjoy the way it shoots, squeezecocking and all I don't think you'd part with it.
Also, it seems there is always a market for P7's so if you don't pay too much for it to start with then chances are you'll be able to get most, if not all, of your money back should you want to sell it.
Listen to that little voice (unless you are off your meds) and if says "buy", then buy.. If you are having nagging doubts about buying it, I would suggest you hold off.
Just personal opinion, no offense to those who might disagree.
Best Wishes, and good shooting.
ABCDEFG.....don't know.
It looks new inside, thats all I know.
Definitely an awesome pistol.
It seems so compact compared to the other single stack 9mm's I've owned. It makes my Sig 225 seem HUGE. The P7 carries effortlessly. As long as I keep my belt tight, it stays nice and close to my side.
The reset on the trigger is pretty amazing. I've fired approx. 75 rounds of JHP with no problems, and I was actually a pretty good shot with it.
Congratulations. Safe shooting. :smt071
I'm jelous JB. Nice find and a great looking specimen. Congrates!

Guidelines Address Newly Diagnosed Type 2 Diabetes in Children
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recently released a new set of clinical guidelines for physicians managing newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes in patients up to 18 years of age. The guidelines were published in the February issue of Pediatrics, and encourage the use of insulin as first-line treatment when patients present with ketosis or frank ketoacidosis, and in cases where the "distinction between type 1 and type 2 diabetes is not clear."
Report Provides Insight For Physicians Considering Changing Practice Management Systems.
A recently released white paper, "Time for a Switch: Your Complete Guide to Practice Management System Replacement," offers physicians and practice managers practical advice on how to decide whether their practice needs to change or update its practice management (PM) system, along with tips on how to select a replacement and to make the transition.

Product Features
Designed for grades 5-12, Mapping the World by Heart includes a set of maps and a comprehensive teacher's guide that makes it easy to integrate lessons and activities into any class's existing curriculum. Combining memorization with the real use of knowledge, practice, mnemonics, large and small group activities, and games, Mapping the World by Heart inspires students to study – and love – geography.
The award-winning curriculum is the creation of David J. Smith, a teacher with over 25 years' experience in the middle school classroom. TIME Magazine, NBC's Today Show, the Boston Globe, the Los Angeles Times, the New York Times, and the Associated Press have written about David Smith and the great success his curriculum has brought to classrooms across the country.
FableVision founder Peter H. Reynolds fell in love with David's breakthrough approach almost 20 years ago. He was with Tom Snyder Productions when they first published Mapping the World by Heart in 1992. At that time, Peter provided the charming illustrations for the teacher's guide, which remain with the product to this day.
When it was first released, Mapping the World by Heart was awarded the "Breaking the Mold" Award by the U.S. Department of Education. It has been through nine complete revisions, and is updated regularly.

What Everyone Ought to Know about Geauga County
Welcome to Geauga News! Where you can find all your Geauga County News about local positive events. Do you know these things about Geauga County?
Geauga County is derived from the Native American word "Sheauga" meaning Raccoon. Geauga County is commonly referred to as Raccoon Country and was founded March 1, 1806.
Wilkum to Raccoon Country
Before we uncover the full meaning of Raccoon Country, it is important that we travel back in time and explore how we actually became a county in Ohio. Long before Ohio became a state in 1803, the northeast corner of the state belonged to Connecticut. In order to settle their Revolutionary War debts, Connecticut sold off all but their Ohio holdings shortly after the war.
In 1796, the Connecticut Land Company sent surveyors to this area. The mission was to divide the 3.3 million acres of land into townships, each measuring 5 square miles. The territory was originally named "New Connecticut", but that name was later discarded in favor of the "Western Reserve". The officer in charge of the mission to settle the Western Reserve was led by none other than General Moses Cleaveland. His team also founded the city of Cleveland, which became the largest city in the region.
A Fun Fact
On January 6, 1831, a printer of the local Advertiser Newspaper changed the spelling of Moses Clevealand's name by dropping the first "a" in order to fit the General's entire name upon the newspaper's masthead. Since then, the misspelled name stuck and has been spelled "Cleveland" ever since.
Then and Now
Letter to Burton in Trumbull County 1800′s
By the end of 1800, there were 32 settlements in the Reserve, and Geauga County was originally part of Trumbull County, named after Jonathan Trumbull, Governor of Connecticut. Trumbull County consisted of the entire area of the Connecticut Western Reserve before being divided into smaller counties. Three families from Connecticut settled in Burton in 1796. Other pioneers trickled into the area settling Youngstown in 1796, Warren in 1798, Hudson in 1799, Ashtabula in 1803, and Stow in 1804. However, no organized government existed.
In 1805, Geauga County was named by the Ohio General Assembly and the area extended all the way to Lake Erie. March 1, 1806, Geauga County officially became the second county in Ohio. In 1806, Geauga County government was established and the first meeting of the County Commissioners was held. In 1808, Geauga County was reduced in size due to the creation of Ashtabula and Cuyahoga Counties. In 1840, Lake County was established giving Geauga County its present-day boundaries as we know it. Forbes Magazine ranked Geauga County the fourth best place in America to raise a family in 2008.
In 1806, Courts were held in a town called "New Market," which was located between Painesville and Fairport, before losing the county seat to Chardon, a tract of land donated by Peter Chardon Brooks, the next year. The first courthouse located in Chardon was a log cabin built in 1813 and was called The King Courthouse after Samuel King. It was located behind the Randal Block near Water Street.
One thing for sure – Geauga County is rich with over 200 years of history.

The (Petri) Dish: Not all fat is bad
November 7, 2012
Approximately one-third of all adults in the United States are obese and another third (including me) are overweight. The expansion of the American waistline is a major medical problem since excessive weight gain and fat accumulation are associated with a number of serious health issues ranging from diabetes to heart disease. In my case, I have tried to justify my girth as essential insulation for the new ski season. My argument fails for two major reasons. First, while fat has strong insulating properties, so do quality ski clothes. But second, and perhaps more interestingly, the fat around my waist (and other places), referred to as "white fat," may not be the best kind of fat to battle cold temperatures. Recent research has revealed that the second kind of fatty tissue, referred to as "brown fat," may not only have superior properties in fighting the cold but might also provide significant health benefits.
Brown fat has been a topic of great interest to doctors for centuries. It is found in human babies (around the shoulder blades) and in animals that hibernate. It has also recently been found present to varying degrees in some adult humans. While referred to as fat, it is better considered as a kind of fatty tissue that looks distinctly different from the yellowish-white jelly-like material with which we are all familiar. A key property of brown fat is that it has "uncoupled" its cells' energy factories, or mitochondria, so that they produce heat rather than drive other bodily functions such as muscle contraction and digestion. In fact, brown fat is thought to produce 300 times more heat than any of the body's other tissues. It is rather like revving a car engine while the transmission is in neutral – a great deal of gas is burnt, but it is converted into heat rather than vehicle motion. In the case of hibernating animals, brown fat provides an inner furnace that keeps the animal warm as it sleeps through the winter cold. In the case of babies, it provides essential warmth as they enter the world wet and naked. And in the case of adult humans, it can convert excess calories into heat rather than white fat.
Just a few years ago, a gene was discovered that controlled the generation of brown fat in the body. This gene induced the expression of an "uncoupling protein" that triggers heat production in the mitochondria. But what turns on this pathway? Recent experiments have indicated that chilling of the body results in activation of brown fat, an increase in the rate of metabolism and the burning of the body's white fat and other energy sources such as blood sugars. Consequently, individuals with more brown fat can tolerate significantly more cold before they begin to shiver (another of the body's mechanisms to produce heat). It is therefore not surprising that people living in very cold climates, especially those who work outside, tend to have the largest stores of brown fat. Scientists have also found that hard exercise can stimulate the production of a certain type of brown fat. Exciting new research has revealed that active muscles produce a hormone called irisin which can turn white fat cells into brown fat cells. Irisin also makes the body more sensitive to glucose and may play a role in preventing the development of diabetes, a disease associated with excessive weight gain and lack of exercise.
The demonstration of brown fat in humans has excited scientists around the world, and the implications of this discovery are many. It appears that brown fat in overweight and obese individuals is either absent or not properly activated; instead they convert excess calories into white fat rather than burning it off through the action of brown fat. If brown fat is activated by cold temperatures, it may be that overweight people are so well insulated that they don't feel the cold as much as lighter people and therefore do not activate their brown fat reserves – a vicious cycle. Therefore, the search is on for drugs that regulate brown fat production and potentially control the obesity epidemic. Irisin is a leading candidate in this area, and it might not be long before I start taking a daily irisin supplement pill. Until then, like many Americans, I will have to rely on dieting and more visits to the gym.

Last week, Forrester's Service Management and Automation team attended FUSION 13, an annual conference jointly hosted by itSMF USA and HDI, in Nashville, Tennessee. FUSION is a key conference for IT Service Management professionals - for three days ITSM pros are immersed in a content rich environment where they're encouraged to share knowledge and learn from one another, as well as from a plethora of industry experts, practitioners, vendors, and thought leaders alike. It's impossible to leave without having made new friends and new discoveries in the realm of IT Service Management. Approximately 2000 ITSM professionals attended the 2013 conference, with the theme "graduate to better service management."
The buzz of this year's event can be easily put into two terms: revolution and status quo. Yes, you read that correctly. And while these two terms are quite contradictory, when put into context they actually are somewhat related - don't worry, we'll explain. First, the status quo:
At FUSION 13, we presented the results from our third annual ITSM survey Forrester does in conjunction with itSMF USA, and not much changed year-over-year. Aside from a few minor rumblings, ITSM maintained the status quo, and in this case, no news... is news:

I just returned from an amazing trip to St. Paul Island Alaska. This was my second time to the island and I was amazed again at the beauty that Mother Nature has created there for us to cherish (Especially the Wind)
I met a lot of wonderful people while on the trip that are now new clients or acquaintances of ours that made the trip a very memorable one.
We had a very successful first day, and then the wind started blowing and our time on the Bearing Sea was limited. I spent an afternoon photographing, researching and collecting some habitat on the island so when I am creating habitats for clients I can be as accurate and use as much natural habitat as possible.
I included a few photos that capture a small part of the beauty of the island.

By Rob Kelly in Kuala Lumpur
The passion Asian fans demonstrate in their support for Premier League clubs proves that it is a "world league", according to Arsène Wenger.
The Gunners landed in Kuala Lumpur on Sunday to a rapturous welcome ahead of their clash against a Malaysia XI on Tuesday night.
And Wenger says the popularity of the Club across the globe means it is essential to connect with supporters whenever the opportunity arises.
"It is vital [to visit fans around the world] because in Europe we are a bit insular, especially in England," he said. "We don't realise how many people watch us when we play football.
"When you come out here you realise that the Premier League is a world league first and it is a challenge for England to keep that going as many other countries want to challenge that.
"[The tour] is an opportunity for our fans to connect with the players, because when you are young to see people that you have admired on television is fantastic."
Wenger admits he "loves" the Far East, having managed Nagoya Grampus in Japan before taking over at Arsenal, and is pleased to be back once more on the Club's 2012 tour.
"I love Asia because I love different cultures," he said. "One of the reasons I do this job is to meet people from different countries and continents.
"I spent two years working in Asia as a manager and I enjoyed it very much, because you find different qualities and different ways of life. I like Asia very much."

My friend Lori's mother passed away. We grew up together. We lived in the same small town, but because we are a few years apart in age, we may never have connected with each other, if not for the small church that our families belonged to. When you grow up in a small church, you get to know the other families well. Worship service, Sunday school, church suppers, church picnics, church fairs, youth group and the trips that go along with that, create a community and a connection that, for me, became part of who I was then and am today.
|Lori and her awesome parents
At her mom's funeral, Lori spoke. Her words were a beautiful tribute to the life her lovely mother lived. Almost the first thing Lori talked about was being in a family formed by both birth and adoption. She is proud and grateful for adoption. It made me re-think the concern I wrote about in my last post about Mikias being grateful to be adopted. Gratitude for her family and how she joined it is a part of who Lori is. It always has been. Perhaps Mikias is like Lori that way. While I don't want Mikias to feel defined by the fact of his adoption, I perhaps needn't worry about his thankfulness for us and adoption so much.
At the funeral, one of Lori's daughters and her sister, Lisa's daughter spoke about their grandmother. Lori's mom was an enormous influence on all of her grandchildren. These two young women spoke lovingly about how much of who they are, is a part of who their grandmother was. One granddaughter related by biology, one related by adoption. Both equally loved, both equally their grandmother's grandchildren.
I often think about how much adoption shapes a family, but until that funeral, I don't think I really thought about how much it shapes generations. Lori and I have lost our parents but continue to be shaped by the love that they gave us. We are who we are, in a large part, because of the parents who raised us, which in turn shapes our own children and the children they will have, and on and on. Mikias and Lori are truly on to something with their enormous gratitude for adoption. It's not just a life changer, it's a generation changer. Pretty cool stuff.
