Seabridge Gold (TSX:SEA)(NYSE:SA) today reported the discovery of a very large and high-grade copper-gold zone below the Kerr deposit at its 100%-owned KSM gold-copper project located near Stewart, British Columbia, Canada. This discovery, named Deep Kerr, has the best metal values found to date at KSM, its grades and widths are improving with depth, the down dip potential remains wide open and it is favorably located for cost-effective exploitation.
Seabridge believes the Deep Kerr is an important discovery which could significantly improve KSM's already robust projected economics. It will be drilled aggressively in 2013 using the proceeds of the Company's recently-announced $24 million bought-deal flow-through financing.
Seabridge's aim in this year's exploration program at KSM was to search for higher temperature core zones that typically concentrate high-grade metals within very large porphyry systems such as KSM. Historically, these core zones generally have grades which are a multiple of those in the upper parts of the porphyry system where KSM's known deposits are found. Evidence compiled by Seabridge's team of geologists suggested that such a core was preserved intact on the KSM claims in close proximity to the known deposits and at a reasonable depth. Eleven targets were selected based upon geochemical analysis, mineralogy, metal distributions and geophysical surveys. The preliminary drill evidence suggests that Seabridge may have found the upper portion of a core zone below the known Kerr deposit.
Seabridge Chairman and CEO Rudi Fronk commented that "we found this prospective core zone target much sooner than we thought likely. Based on what we already know, we expect next year's drill program to define large additions to measured and indicated copper and gold resources by the end of 2013. We also have the potential for substantially more upside if Deep Kerr proves to be a core zone similar to others found near comparably-sized porphyry systems."
Mr. Fronk also noted that "our design for the KSM project has built in tremendous flexibility so this new discovery could fit seamlessly into our plans."
To view the figures associated with this release, please visit the following link: http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/sea1108figures.pdf.
The drilling reported above was designed to establish geological continuity between the Deep Kerr target and the Kerr mineral resource.
The orientations of these holes were not intended to establish true widths of the mineral system and additional drilling is required for this purpose. The entire mineralized intercept in hole K-12-20, and the portion below a depth of 275 meters in hole K-12-21 are beyond the current resource limits. Assays from the final hole in the Deep Kerr program, K-12-22, are awaited. This final hole was drilled to test for the edge of the deposit to assist with the design of the 2013 drill program.
National Instrument 43-101 Disclosure.
Exploration activities at KSM are being conducted by Seabridge personnel under the supervision of William E. Threlkeld PGeo., Senior Vice President of Seabridge and a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. Mr. Threlkeld has reviewed and approved this news release. An ongoing and rigorous quality control/quality assurance protocol is employed during the 2012 program including blank and reference standards in every batch of assays. Cross-check analyses will be conducted at a second external laboratory on 10% of the samples. Samples will be assayed using fire assay atomic adsorption methods for gold, and ICP methods with atomic adsorption on concentrations over detection limits for other elements.
Seabridge holds a 100% interest in several North American gold projects. The Company's principal assets are the KSM property located near Stewart, British Columbia, Canada and the Courageous Lake gold project located in Canada's Northwest Territories.

Florida offensive coordinator Brent Pease seems to be on the road to a head coaching job, but he's not blindly streaking down that path.
Successful coordinators at Florida tend to not stick around very long. They move on and move up to a head coaching job. It's a natural progression that many have followed, including Bob Stoops, Dan Mullen and Charlie Strong.
Brent Pease seems to be on that path now, especially after his UF offense decimated the No. 1 defense in the nation in the Gators' victory over Florida State a few weeks back. Pease is on the path, but if you listen to him, it's obvious he's not blindly streaking down it, ready to grab the first opportunity that comes along.
"There is always an opportunity down the road," he said Tuesday. "When I was young, I was ready to make a quick move on some things. Young guys are coming to me now and asking what should they do.
"I always tell them this: if you're at a good place, if you work with good people and you enjoy going to work every day, the grass isn't always greener. It's not really about a money situation.
"I think you've still got to have goals as to what you want to accomplish and reach. But I think those will come when it's right. Don't push the issue."
One of Pease's goals when he accepted Will Muschamp's job offer was not to become a one-and-done offensive coordinator at Florida. He has accomplished that goal. He will be here at least through the 2013 season.
"I think Florida gives you a stage to do a lot of great things," he said. "I'm not one to leave after one year anyway. I made a commitment. Will made a commitment to me. (Athletic director) Jeremy (Foley) made a commitment to me. The university made a commitment to me.
"These kids, you start getting attached and seeing what they're doing. There's still work to be done. The future is bright. And for me, there is a lot to accomplish here. And there's still a goal I want to accomplish in winning a national championship or winning an SEC title and all that.
"And I like it here. I like the people I work with. I really like the kids."
Pease's name is going to come up when head coaching jobs come open. It did just last month, when Kentucky fired Joker Phillips (who is now the new UF wide receivers coach and working with Pease).
Pease was the offensive coordinator at UK in 2001-02 and had connections at the school. Throw in his innovative offense and he seemed like a pretty natural fit for the Wildcats.
But Pease said he never had any serious discussions with UK.
"There was just minimal conversation," Pease said. "It probably never materialized as much as everybody thought.
"I think they had a plan, and I wasn't plan A. Maybe I wasn't plan B. I don't really know that as much. They went after a few other guys — obviously, Mark (Stoops). That's the direction they went."
That actually may have made it easier for Pease, because he had no plan to leave Florida after only one season.
Earlier in his career, he might have been inclined to bolt after one year, But, over time, he said he's learned that chasing jobs probably isn't the best way to go.
"You see guys that work up through the profession and you want to be there," he said. "It's always got to be a good fit, a good situation. I saw a guy I worked with get a job at Arkansas State (last week) — Bryan Harsin.
"Good for him. Sometimes you get to the point where as a coach you're competitive and you want that situation for you too. But you've got to know your role. If that situation's right and I'm doing a good job, maybe someday my opportunity is going to come."
In the meantime, Pease said he's very happy where he's at.
"I've worked to be in a very good spot with very good people," he said. "In the coaching profession you change a lot and you work with different people, different staff. You learn a lot about yourself.
"It's like the show 'Survivor.' Everybody talks about how they learn about themselves. That's what you do in coaching, you grow, you get different ideas. We're at a spot here where I really enjoy where I'm at. I enjoy the people."
In moving up and moving on, Pease said family also is a major consideration. He said he would not have accepted Muschamp's offer and moved to Gainesville if it's something his wife and two children weren't all in with.
"I took, I wouldn't say a risk, but an opportunity when I came here last year because my daughter was a junior in high school, and even my son being a freshman," Pease said. "That's a hard move when you're that age of a girl in high school and you're taking her away from some friends.
"But my daughter is one that's adventurous and she was for it. Because if my family wasn't good with it, I probably wouldn't have done it."
Pease's next move in the profession will be to become a head coach. That could happen soon. But he's comfortable at UF waiting for the right opportunity to come along.

LA CROSSE, Wisconsin (WXOW) - UPDATE: The man arrested in Madison Monday on a La Crosse homicide charge is now sitting in the County Jail awaiting a court hearing.
Jail records show that Mitrel Anderson is held without bond on a charge of First Degree Intentional Homicide.
Arrested along with Anderson was Brittney Jones on a charge of HarboringAiding a Felon. She is also held in the La Crosse County Jail without bond.
The La Crosse County District Attorney's office has begun their work on compiling formal criminal complaints against Anderson and Jones. Although the district attorney's office did not have the pair listed on the court calendar as of 2:00 p.m. Tuesday, they likely will appear before a judge either Wednesday or Thursday.
Anderson was arrested without incident as he walked out of an Madison apartment by agents from the state Department of Criminal Investigation. He was returned to La Crosse early Tuesday afternoon.
Anderson was wanted on the homicide charge in the death of Demario Lee Sunday morning in the Kwik Trip store at 506 Cass St. in La Crosse. Police say Anderson used an "edged weapon" to fatally wound Lee.
LA CROSSE, Wisconsin (WXOW) - Agents from the Department of Criminal Investigation arrested the suspect wanted for a homicide at a La Crosse Kwik Trip Monday.

LA CROSSE, Wisconsin (WXOW) - The La Crosse Police Department is looking for a suspect connected to a homicide at a Kwik Trip in downtown La Crosse early Sunday morning.
Police were called to the Kwik Trip at 506 Cass St. at 3:21 a.m.
Officers found Demario Lee, 24, of La Crosse, injured by an edged weapon, police said. Lee was transported to Gundersen Health System and died from the injuries, according to a press release from the La Crosse Police Department.
That same release said police have issued a felony warrant for First Degree Intentional Homicide for Mitrel Anderson, 25, also of La Crosse. They're asking the public to help locate him.
According to the release, police "recovered a vehicle used during the commission of this crime and (the) investigation has lead (them) to believe the suspect, Mitrel Anderson, has fled the area."
Investigators have talked to witnesses and are reviewing surveillance video from the store, said Capt. Robert Lawrence of the La Crosse Police Department.
"We do have a lot of information. We do have, obviously, forensic evidence, we do have witnesses, we do have some things that really go in our favor," Lawrence said.
Kwik Trip store leader Aaron MacPhetridge got the call about the homicide for a third-shift employee.
"You're worried about the people involved, you're worried about the people who work for you and (you) make sure everybody's okay," MacPhetridge said.
He said thankfully his staff, for the most part, is unharmed.
"One person who is mainly involved in the situation is a little shaken up right now," MacPhetridge said.
The police investigation indicated the homicide seems to be an isolated incident, Lawrence said. There are no known additional threats at this time and public safety is not in jeopardy, he said.
"They're right on key. They do a fantastic job in situations like this," MacPhetridge said of the police's response.
Police said they called in additional officers, investigative staff, the Wisconsin Department of Criminal Investigation, the FBI, the La Crosse County Medical Examiner's Office among other resources to help with the investigation.
They ask anyone in the community with information that could help the investigation to come forward and contact police. To remain anonymous, contact the La Crosse Area Crime Stoppers at (608) 784-8477.
"Obviously one homicide is too many homicides. And we haven't had one for a while," Lawrence said. "The key is that I have every confidence that our department will solve this homicide as we've solved the others."
As of 10:35 p.m., the store is still closed. Yellow crime scene tape surrounds its perimeter.

It's useful that the bipartisan patina Michelle Rhee gave Students First has worn off and her organization is increasingly being shown for what is is–an anti-union Republican front group with an agenda to destroy teachers' rights.
Rhee purported to be the face of a bipartisan movement to "transform education," while simultaneously battling Democratic teachers unions and appearing chummy in photo ops with conservative Republican governors like Rick Scott (Fla.) or John Kasich (Ohio).
All the while, a small cadre of influential Democrats stood behind her, helping her craft messages on things like her positions on unions (that they are entitled to collective bargaining on salary issues), and trying to fend off attacks from the progressive community (one in particular thwacked her explicitly for her right-wing contacts). But in the last few months, these Democrats — including the group's vice president of communications, Hari Sevugan, as first reported by education blogger Alexander Russo — have left the group, ceding control to a group of new hires, including president Kahlil Byrd.
Dmitri Mehlhorn, the group's former CEO, has left to lead Bloomberg Law. Mike Phillips, who served as Rhee's chief of staff for communications, took a leave of absence this fall to work on Sen. Chris Murphy's (D-Conn.) campaign, but ultimately never rejoined. Tali Stein, a former Hillary Clinton fundraiser who led StudentsFirst's development, left two months ago to focus on other projects. Ximena Hartsock, a Democratic lobbyist, also left.
"There were known to be some significant differences on political strategy and policy matters, especially in StudentsFirst's approach toward unions and partisanship," said a source close to the education reform community who declined to be named in order to preserve working relationships.
Byrd, a self-described Republican, once directed communications for Massachusetts Gov. Duvall Patrick's (D) gubernatorial campaign. He brought with him several other new staffers, press secretary Ileana Wachtel and donor relations manager Kellen Arno.
Students First has also come out with its yearly report card on state education systems. As Doug Henwood points out, the grades have nothing to do with student performance and everything to do with how closely they hew to Rhee's agenda.
StudentsFirst, the school "reform" outfit led by the notorious Michelle Rhee, is out with a state-by-state Report Card on the nation's schools. Grades were awarded on the basis of states' conformity to the standard reform agenda—ease of creating charter schools, ease of firing teachers, ease of hiring teachers who aren't certified in the traditional fashion, and testing testing testing. In the past, there's never been any evidence that this agenda actually improves educational outcomes—and this report is no exception. Despite Rhee's love of testing, there's no mention of how states that do well under her criteria do on standardized tests compared to those that score poorly. That's no surprise, really, since states that get high grades from StudentsFirst do worse on tests than those that score poorly.
Henwood uses the term "bogosity" to describe Rhee. Quite appropriate.

Right, Hamilton is a much higher risk for injury than skill deterioration. But Swisher's risk is split between the two factors. At a certain age, playing a lot in the past is an indicator for injury risk. Swisher is past that threshold. He's also had periods of utter futility throughout the last couple seasons.
I'd expect a Swisher signing to work out a lot like Ibanez. Year 1 might be nice and then it'll get ugly.

- Oral Stories : My Silent Partner
My Silent Partner
Sex can be very exciting. Risk can be very exciting. When combined they can be like extreme sports.
I?m not into endless texting. I really want to meet sexy people but sometimes the ?where? becomes a problem. Or in this case it became the excitement.
I met a new guy online but our schedules just never seemed to work out. Then one day he texted and I was free to meet him. But where? We discussed a few options and decided to take the risk. We decided to meet in the men?s dressing room at a local department store. How hot would that be?
Then he suggested that we not say a word to each other during our encounter, turning up the heat again.
He had seen a picture of me but I had not seen one of him so I took another risk. As the risks compounded my excitement grew. We set a time and the meeting was all lined up.
I arrived at the store and began shopping in the men?s department. I noticed that the dressing room had two entrances. I watched men going in and coming out but had no idea what he looked like so it was up to him to make some nonverbal contact or text me.
I was very nervous. I?m sure I probably looked like a nervous shoplifter. The department manager asked if he could assist me in any way and I said weakly ?No I?m just looking.? There was some truth to that I was looking for the man that I intend to give a silent blow job to.
I finally decided that my new friend had backed out. I left the men?s department and began looking at purses when my phone rang a text warning. He was in the store and very nervous. It read, ?I am so nervous! I?m in the last stall but there is no lock!? I messaged back that I was coming in.
I entered the men?s dressing room going directly to the stall at the back and tugged gently on the door. He opened it and with his hand stretched out he showed me that he was shaking. I smiled, knelt down in front of him and nodded, quietly unzipping his pants. His cock sprung quickly from his zipper revealing a huge 9 inch very thick monster. He kept his hand on the door handle and slid one hand into my hair. My eyes were looking into his face as I took his huge cock into my hands. I reached into his pants and freed his beautiful balls. His breathing started to become faster as my breath touched his shaft. Were we really doing this? Damn it was so hot! I sucked his balls one at a time before moving to his throbbing cock. My tongue magically went from his balls to the tip of his cock as all the air seemed to leave his body. His knees became weak.
Footsteps and a squeaky door were our clues that we were no longer alone. The person picked the stall right next to us! I never missed a beat my lips encased the head of his cock as I began to torture my nervous friend. His hand was pushing me to take more of the huge cock. Then he reached into my shirt with his free hand and cupped my right breast. He nodded with approval. He was so turned on. I twisted my wet hand on his shaft while I sucked his cock. Looking up at him, I knew that he was about to cum. Could he be quiet enough as not to alert the man next to us? And then he exploded in my mouth. I could feel his cum pulsing through his cock?shot after shot. I accepted each drop. Smiling I looked up at him in triumph as he staggered back never letting go on the door handle. He quickly stuffed his still pulsing cock into his pants. As he was zipping them I stood to my feet. He motioned that he wanted to go first. He disappeared almost as quickly as he had appeared. The man in the next stall was still there as I walked out. I never knew just how loud my flip flops were until I tried my silent adventure escape.
Now every time I shop in that store I think of my silent partner in crime.

UC Santa Barbara Gauchos (5-3) vs. UCSB Alumni, 2 pm
at Campus Pool
Sunday, October 4, 2009
UC Santa Barbara Gauchos vs. Concordia Eagles (13-2), 12 pm
UC Santa Barbara Gauchos vs. Whittier Poets (5-7), 2 pm
at Campus Pool
Happy Homecoming
Sixth-ranked UCSB will open at home this weekend when they host a trio of games at Campus Pool. The Gauchos will start the weekend with an alumni game on Saturday at 2 pm and then play No. 14 Concordia and Whittier on Sunday at 12 and 2 pm. Admission is free for all games.
30 Years Ago
In 1979, the UCSB men's water polo team brought home the first NCAA Division I title in school history. 30 years later they are still one of only two Gaucho teams - along with the 2006 men's soccer team - that has won a national crown. Several members of the 1979 team will be at Saturday's alumni game and will also be honored at half time at Friday's nationally televised men's soccer game against Indiana. Coach Pete Snyder and players Greg Boyer, Mike Yates, Dave Hendrickson, Tom Candelaria, Brooks Bennett, Aaron Chaney, Grady Howe, Joel Wade and John Dobrott are all planning on attending. The 1979 team posted a 28-2-1 record, which is still the school record for wins in a season.
For the Record
The 2009 Gauchos enter this weekend with an overall mark of 5-3. Two weeks ago, when UCSB was last in action, the Gauchos split four games at the Northern California Invitational. The Gauchos defeated Air Force, 15-5, and Pepperdine in overtime, 11-10. The two losses came against Cal, 12-8, and Loyola Marymount in the tournament's fifth-place game, 8-5.
Soaring With the Eagles
No. 14 Concordia enters the weekend with a 13-2 record and will play four games at the Claremont Convergence before making the trip to Santa Barbara on Sunday. The Eagles have posted three wins over top-20 ranked teams this season: Navy, Pacific and Air Force.
I'm A Poet and Didn't Even Know It
Whittier enters the weekend with a 5-7 record and will also take part in the Claremont Convergence before Sunday's contest. Whittier has gone 0-3 this season against teams ranked in the nation's top-20.
Junior Milos Golic - who earned First Team All-American honors in 2008 - led the Gauchos for goals in each of the four games at the Northern California Invitational. In all, he tallied 12 goals during the weekend, including a season-high four in the win over Air Force. He also had hat tricks against Cal and Pepperdine. He has scored in all but one game so far this season and leads the team with 18 goals. He is tied seventh in the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation with an average of 2.25 goals per game.
He's Back!
After sitting out the 2008 season as a medical redshirt, junior Zsombor Vincze returned to the pool two weeks ago and got right back into the swing of things. The two-time All-MPSF Honorable Mention scored seven goals over the weekend - including hat tricks against Cal and Loyola Marymount. He also earned seven penalties or ejections. Currently, he ranks 12th in the MPSF with an average of 1.75 goals per game.
Rank and Order
After finishing sixth at the NorCal Invitational, UCSB maintained it's No. 6 ranking in the CWPA Top-20 poll. The Gauchos have ended the last three seasons as the nations' No. 6 team.
In The Center of It All
Sophomore two-meter player Noah Smith is the third of three Gauchos ranked amongst the MPSF's top-20 scoring leaders, coming in at 15th with a 1.63 goals per game average. Smith is second on the team with 13 total goals on the season, just eight away from tying his total from 2008. Smith is also tied for first on the team with freshman Brian Shoemaker with 15 earned penalties or ejections. Shoemaker leads all Gaucho newcomers - and is fourth on the team - with eight goals on the year.
Keeping Up with the Keeper
Junior Fraser Bunn has gotten the starting nod in goal for the Gauchos in seven of their eight games this season. He is averaging a league-leading 9.1 saves per game, but he is last in the MPSF with an average of a 10.7 goals against average. He posted a season-high 12 saves in the overtime victory against Pepperdine on Sept. 20.
Road Warriors
The Gauchos will not be home for long. After this weekend's games, UCSB will once again pack its bags for a seven-game road swing. The first trip will be to the UC Irvine Invitational next weekend where the Gauchos will face No. 12 UC Davis in the first round. After the UCI tourney, the Gauchos will play non-conference games at UC San Diego (Oct. 16) and UC Irvine (Oct. 17) before opening MPSF play on Oct. 24 at Long Beach State. UCSB will be back home on Oct. 29 to host USC.

The $40 million installment is the fourth of six, totaling $239 million that BART Silicon Valley will receive under the state of California TCRP Allocation Plan, which was adopted by the CTC in September 2008.
The current $40 million allocation is designated for project construction. Near-term construction activities include ongoing site preparations, utility relocations and trenching at both the future Berryessa and Milpitas BART Station campuses. Upcoming construction work along the project corridor is also planned at Dixon Landing Road, Mission Boulevard, Warren Avenue, Montague Expressway, Sierra Road, Lundy Avenue, Capitol Avenue and Trade Zone Boulevard.
The BART Silicon Valley Extension Project was identified as one of 53 projects statewide eligible to receive TCRP funds in 2000, when legislation passed creating the program. The TCRP legislation identified $760 million for the entire Fremont to San Jose corridor. To date, BART has received $111 million for the BART Warm Springs Extension and Santa Clara VTA has received a total of $569 million, with $79 million expected over the next two years.

Valve's online game store Steam has a great deal on one of the best games in recent years. Portal 2, on just about every "best of" list of 2011, is 2 years old today and Valve is commemorating that anniversary with a great price! The sequel to 2007 sleeper hit Portal is well worth the standard $19.99 price, so this deal is a scream! After the 22nd, the price will go back to normal. If you haven't played this game, get it now. Trust me.
Portal was the sleeper hit of Valve's "Orange Box" collection back in 2007, which included Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2 Episodes 1 and 2, and Team Fortress 2. Portal was the unknown on the disc, a weird indie-ish game among a bunch of great FPS content. But once folks gave it a shot, they were converted and Portal became a cult smash. Critics and players alike praised Portal for its unique, reality bending gameplay, great characters and twisted sense of humor. By the way, if you haven't played Portal yet, you can get both bundled together for $7!
Portal 2 took everything great about the original and expanded it tenfold with beautiful game design (that still looks great 2 years later), unforgettable characters and, of course, the series' signature mind warping gameplay. The game's engrossing story is as hilarious as it is disturbing, putting you once again in the shoes of Chell who awakes to find herself in the crumbling ruins of Aperture Labs. Chell is again subject to sadistic "testing" by lunatic AI GLaDOS as she tries to escape the compound and follow the increasingly bizarre crumbs of exposition left for her by previous captor Cave Johnson.
While the single player campaign is incredible, Portal 2 also has one of the most fun and innovative co-op multiplayer experiences around! You and a friend are put into the roles of 2 droids, each armed with a portal gun. One has the entry and one the exit, meaning you have to work together to create a portal that can be passed through. You communicate with each other using a simplified, icon-based system to coordinate your actions. It works surprisingly well, and you feel a sense of accomplishment after completing a particularly tough level together. The multiplayer campaign is playable both online and on split screen (!!!!) and has a fully fleshed out story of its own, as well as several mind-boggling missions.
The whole package is presented with a thick layer of polish and really high production values. The voice acting is all top-notch (for example, Cave Johnson is voiced by well-known character-actor J.K. Simmons) and it really feels cinematic at times without reliance on distracting cut scenes.
This one's really worth grabbing folks!

MILWAUKEE (AP) – Gov. Scott Walker is scheduled to speak before the Wisconsin state education convention. Walker is slated to speak Friday morning at the meeting sponsored by the Wisconsin Association of School Boards, the Wisconsin Association of School District Administrators and the Wisconsin Association of School Business Officials. His appearance comes less than a month before he is to release his two-year state budget. Walker has said that spending plan will include more money for education and an expansion of the voucher program, but he hasn't provided many details. Walker says he wants to provide incentive money to the highest and lowest performing school districts, based on how they do on state report cards. More than 2,000 school district leaders from across the state are expected at the meeting.

ACSM to Preview 9th Edition of Exercise Guidelines
New edition will feature chapter on behavioral theories, strategies for promoting exercise
LAS VEGAS – The American College of Sports Medicine's Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription is the go-to resource for anyone conducting exercise testing or exercise programs across the globe. Since it was first published in 1975, it has been the primary guide for researchers, trainers, and exercise physiologists. The latest edition of this trusted manual will be released at ACSM's 17th Annual Health & Fitness Summit, running March 12-16 in Las Vegas. Conference attendees will have the opportunity to learn the history of ACSM's Guidelines to Exercise Testing and Prescription, hear about new important themes and innovations in the latest edition, and interact with the editorial team.
"The ninth edition offers new information, along with an additional chapter on behavioral theories and the mind-body connection in exercise." said Linda Pescatello, Ph.D., FACSM, CPD, the book's senior editor. She also noted, "Another difference guide users will notice is a reduced emphasis on the need for medical evaluation in healthy people, along with a stronger need to identify those clients with disease because they are at highest risk for exercise-related cardiac event."
New to the book will be more specific information about working with several special populations, including those who have had bariatric surgery. Users of the guide will also notice a stronger emphasis on offering encouragement to the general population regarding the adoption of a physically active lifestyle. The chapter on common medication has been updated by pharmacists from the University of Connecticut. There is an addition of several special populations including those with bariatric surgery.
Pescatello and the associate editors will present the new features of the guide and hold Q & A session about the book for participants at the ACSM Summit.
ACSM's Health & Fitness Summit & Exposition runs through March 15 in Las Vegas. For more information or to arrange an interview, contact 702-946-2042 Annie Spencer at email@example.com or Lauren Johnson at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The American College of Sports Medicine is the largest sports medicine and exercise science organization in the world. More than 50,000 international, national and regional members and certified professionals are dedicated to advancing and integrating scientific research to provide educational and practical applications of exercise science and sports medicine.

Tartine country bread trial
I had a try on Tartine country bread on Friday night. I saw many videos on youtube about Tartine bread. And I'm curious about the tartine method, high hydration, long time fermentation, with little starter portion. The doughs in those videos are jiggling and the crumb is airy, which attracts me. So I decide to have a try.
Recipe adapted from txfarmer's chinese blog:
Starter 7.5g (mature)
whole wheat flour 50g(I replace 30g with whole rye flour)
bread flour 50g
water 100g
Temperature: 25C
1.mix all those ingredient above. When it passes the floating test, it's ready to use.
Final dough(make 2 big loaf):
Levain 200g
bread flour 900g
whole wheat flour 100g(I replace 30g with whole rye flour)
water 750g
salt 20g
Temperature: 25C
Bulk fermentation: 5hours
Final proof: 3hours
1.mix all those ingredient by hands. It's a shaggy and sticky mass.
2.S&F every half hour during the fermentation. Adapt the folding times according to the gluten development. I fold three times during the first two hours. (When I did the first fold, it was already 1:20am. I feel really sleepy. I planed to retard the dough after S&F. However, I'm too sleepy. Then I forgot to retard and fell asleep! ZZZZZzzzz. At about 6:20 am, I woke up. The dough seems to be over proofed. I felt a little bit upset and blamed myself for sleeping.)
3. I divided the dough then preshaped. Bench rest for 30minutes. Then final shaping. It's sticky, so I sifted some rice flour onto the work surface. Maybe too much rice flour, excessive rice flour can't be well incorporated into the dough. I used scraper and hands to shape.
4. Final proof: 3 hours.
5.Preheat the oven and baking stone to 270C. Pop the dough in then turn the oven to 230C for 40minutes,with steam in the first 15minutes.
My scoring and shaping technique needs to be improved. It's crunchy with moist crumb. The taste is sweet and not too sour. I love this bread!
I also find a problem that the crumb of the center is not as open as the outer part. How can I fix this problem?Thanks.
Some slice~

Ascites is the build-up of fluid in the space between the lining of the abdomen and abdominal organs.
Causes of Ascites
Ascites results from high pressure in the blood vessels of the liver (portal hypertension) and low levels of a protein called albumin.
Diseases that can cause severe liver damage can lead to ascites. These include long-term hepatitis C or B infection and alcohol abuse over many years.
People with certain cancers in the abdomen may develop ascites. These include cancer of the colon, ovaries, uterus, pancreas, and liver.
Other conditions that can cause this problem include:
- Clots in the veins of the liver (portal vein thrombosis)
- Congestive heart failure
- Pancreatitis
- Thickening and scarring of the sac-like covering of the heart
Kidney dialysis may also be linked to ascites.
Ascites Symptoms
Symptoms may develop slowly or suddenly depending on the cause of ascites. You may have no symptoms if there is only a small amount of fluid in the belly.
As more fluid collects, you may have abdominal pain and bloating. Large amounts of fluid can cause shortness of breath.
Many other symptoms of liver failure may also be present.
Tests and Exams
Your doctor will do a physical exam to determine the amount of swelling in your belly.
You may also have the following tests to assess your liver and kidneys:
- 24-hour urine collection
- Electrolyte levels
- Kidney function tests
- Liver function tests
- Tests to measure the risk of bleeding and protein levels in the blood
- Urinalysis
- Abdominal ultrasound
Your doctor may also use a thin needle to withdraw ascites fluid from your belly. The fluid is tested to look for the cause of ascites.
Treatment of Ascites
The condition that causes ascites will be treated, if possible.
Treatments for fluid build-up may include lifestyle changes:
- Avoiding alcohol
- Lowering salt in your diet (no more than 1,500 mg/day of sodium)
- Limiting fluid intake
You may also get medicines from your doctor including:
- "Water pills" (diuretics) to get rid of extra fluid
- Antibiotics for infections
Procedures that you may have are:
- Inserting a tube into the belly to remove large volumes of fluid (called a paracentesis)
- Placing a special tube or shunt inside your belly (TIPS) to repair blood flow to the liver
People with end-stage liver disease may need a liver transplant.
Potential Complications
Complications may include:
- Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (a life-threatening infection of the ascites fluid)
- Hepatorenal syndrome (kidney failure)
- Weight loss and protein malnutrition
- Mental confusion, change in the level of alertness, or coma (hepatic encephalopathy)
- Other complications of liver cirrhosis
When to Contact a Health Professional
If you have ascites, call your health care provider right away if you have:
- Fever above 100.5°F (38.05°C), or a fever that does not go away
- Belly pain
- Blood in your stool or black, tarry stools
- Blood in your vomit
- Bruising or bleeding that occurs more easily
- Build-up of fluid in your belly
- Swollen legs or ankles
- Breathing problems
- Confusion or problems staying awake
- Yellow color in your skin and whites of your eyes (jaundice)

Great, I'm all for prayer. Obviously connecting to Hashem is infinitely more important than connecting with our public officials, or those who want to be our public officials.
Connecting to Hashem is also infinitely more important than eating ... but we still have to eat, and we still have to let our public officials and our candidates know what we should and shouldn't collectively do as public policy.
Your video, without explicitly saying so, implicitly sets up a false dichotomy where the person who discovers prayer suddenly has no need, or civic duty, to stay connected to those who seek and hold political office in a democratic nation. You also imply that those who submitted questions to the YouTube debate, or who are otherwise involved in the political process, are necessarily disconnected from Hashem. That's a little presumptuous, no?
Personally, I want lots more people praying to Hashem regularly, and I want lots more people contacting their elected officials and their candidates regularly.
All the best,

Chris -- 2018-04-11
as serving up "indulgent" dishes to their customers. The traditions of entrepreneurial euphemism are alive and well.
The "in-" of "indulgent" is probably an example of intensive "in-" A common misspelling, "undulgent," swings it toward the negating "in-." Are these creative spellers trying to capture the hands-off, non-interfering, unrestraining approach of the indulgent? The lost – or better, never-found – radical "dulge" does feel like it ought to be associated with force and violence ("She dulged his eye out.")
Examples of "undulgent:"
: "Looking back and examing the past is an act that can feel very self-undulgent (who hasn't been told at some point to 'get over it' or to 'move on'). "
: " It won't affect his undulgent world in any way, so why would it matter, unless of coourse he has "control" issues! "
: "For a perfect undulgent treat of a special celebration we offer you gourmet cupcakes with a luxurious selection of flavours … "
Hatching new language, one eggcorn at a time.
Undulgent sounds a bit like one of those contradictory switches. If it's not an anticipation error, your take is the only one that makes sense. I'll undulge you.
The opacity of dulging (even the etymology is unsettled) can lead to reinterpretation as a variant of intelligence, the opposite of it, even: indulligence. Admittedly, rare.
So charish your little victory with self-indulligence. The people of Novis will not let a defeat hinder our strength and pride.
here was that group of students who thought they were cool and better than the rest. When it came to college the fraternities and sorieties took their place for self indulligence.
Edit: As a victim of my own exceptional holiday indulgence this year, I looked for self-enbulgent. No joy.

Submission + - MIT Offers Charm School for Geeks
Hugh Pickens writes writes: "It's been said that social graces may be just as important as intelligence and engineering prowess to success as an astrophysicist or computer engineer. But how do you take someone who's grown up in the world of pocket protectors and get them thinking about suits, bow ties and the proper way to hold a wine glass. Now Jennifer Lawinski reports that MIT's Charm School just celebrated its 20th birthday with classes in alcohol and gym etiquette, how to dress for work and how to visit a contemporary art museum. "We're giving our students the tools to be productive members of society, to be the whole package," says Alana Hamlett. "It gets them thinking about who they are and what their impact and effect is, whether they're working on a team in an engineering company, or in a small group on a project, or interviewing for a job." At this year's Charm School students were free to drop in and participate in any of the 20-minute mini-courses being offered that day and students who participated in 10 of the mini-courses were awarded doctorates of charm. Computational biology graduate student Asa Adadey said the free meal was a draw and said he learned in one mini-course not to cut up all his meat at once before eating it. "Who knows? Down the line I may find myself at a formal dinner.""

This is getting really difficult to swallow. In 2004, Pak Lah specifically promised that all government contracts will be competitively tendered. Pak Lah told Malaysian business leaders that Kuala Lumpur needed to make the contract awarding process "transparent, with open tendering the norm". I believed. Or rather, I so really wanted to believe, that Malaysia was going to undergo a period of positive change.
Over the past 2 years alone, major and significant contracts have been awarded without competitive tendering.
And I feel like such a sucker today.
I'm a fan of the KL Low-Cost Carrier Termainal (LCCT). But did you know that the RM280 million contract to build the terminal was granted to a listed company without calling for competitive bids?
As part of the 9th Malaysia Plan, UMNO-linked UEM World was awarded the estimated RM2-3 billion second bridge in Penang. Again, it's going to be a direct negotiation between the Government and the company, and no price has been fixed yet.
More recently, the Ministry of Works announced an unexpected RM400 million new palace for the Yang Di-Pertuan Agung. And surprise, surprise, the contract has been awarded to a certain "Maya Maju", with no known expertise and experience in large-scale constrcutions. According to research by Maverick SM, Maya Maju (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd is privately owned dormant RM5 million paid up company with no revenue and only 2 shareholders. On what merits were they awarded the contract?
And today, I read in the Star that a RM600 million contract has been awarded to Projek Lintasan Shah Alam Sdn Bhd (PLSA) to connect the Kesas Kota Kemuning Interchange with the Federal Highway. PLSA is 90% owned by Projek Lintasan Kota Holdings Sdn Bhd (Prolintas), the concessionaire for the Ampang-Kuala Lumpur elevated highway. Once again, no open competitive tender for the Highway project?
Again, no one knows the terms of the contract with the concessionaire? And again, in years to come, we'll face annual exorbitant increase in toll charges due to unfair contracts which the Government would claim they can't do much about. Otherwise, as per Datuk Seri Samy Vellu's out-of-tune over-played recording, "the Government could not afford to compensate the concessionaires".
Nobody is quibbling with the fact that many of these projects are indeed necessary and potentially beneficial for the Rakyat. However, in the interest of an efficient and productive economy, in the interest of transparency and integrity, and in the interest of the tax-payers' hard-earned money, where are the competitive open tenders promised for Government projects?
Pak Lah's promise of open tenders for Government projects have become an Open Season for UMNO cronies, particular for the much touted 9th Malaysia Plan projects. To quote the Parliamentary Opposition Leader, Sdr Lim Kit Siang, 'The Prime Minister promised to walk the talk. I only hear the talking, where's the walk?'

The Bertolet Memorial Library, Leaf River, set a precedent Tuesday when it became the first library in Illinois to become a village post office (VPO).
U.S. Postal Service officials were on hand for the grand opening of the VPO and to unveil a new stamp.
Library director Penny Bryant and Post Office Operations Manager Tom Principe unveiled the new Sealed with Love Forever stamp as part of National Library Week.
The stamp art depicts an envelope fastened with an wax seal featuring a small heart in shades of red. The stamp promotes reading and writing, but also has a special meaning for the event.
"The theme for National Library Week is the 'heart of every community,'" said Bryant. "This library is an important part in the lives of our residents. That's why we welcome this new opportunity, which is symbolized by this new stamp."
Principe said VPOs are a national trend. "It's a easy we can offer services when the post office isn;t open," he said.
"I'm very excited to offer the VPO to our patrons," Bryant said.
The library will provide Forever stamp sales, Priority Flat-Rate boxes, pre-paid package drop-off, and blue collection box pickup service.
Library hours are Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday 8a.m. to 12 p.m. The library is closed Friday and Sunday.
Several more VPOs are scheduled to open in Illinois the coming months. More information about the Village Post Office is available at www.usps.com/villagepostoffice.
Last year, the USPS introduced the VPO model as an alternate retail location for postal products and services, especially in rural communities.
VPOs are operated by local businesses contracting with the postal service, and offer a range of popular postal products and services including stamps and flat-rate packaging.
