Fowler, Rutledge help Rockies rally past Padres
San Diego, CA – Dexter Fowler and Josh Rutledge clubbed back- to-back homers in the top of the ninth inning to lift the Colorado Rockies to a 7-5 win over the San Diego Padres in the opener of a three-game set at Petco Park.
The Rockies erased a two-run deficit in the eighth, capitalizing on a costly San Diego error, then Fowler and Rutledge took Padres closer Huston Street (0-1) deep in the next frame.
Fowler, who also homered in the fifth, broke a 5-5 tie with a blast to right field. Rutledge then cleared the wall in left with a line-drive shot.
"I am just going up there looking for good pitches to drive," Fowler said. "That first one, I thought that's way back and it barely cleared the fence. That second one, I really thought I got it."
San Diego went 1-2-3 in the bottom of the ninth, with Rafael Betancourt earning his fourth save of the season. The late power surge made a winner out of Rex Brothers (1-0).
Todd Helton collected three hits and knocked in a run for the Rockies, who posted a three-game sweep of the Padres last weekend in Denver to extend their winning streak to five games. Colorado was then swept in three games at San Francisco.
Yonder Alonso hit a two-run homer and Will Venable also had two RBI for San Diego, which has won only two of its first 10 games.
"Anytime you have a loss, it's tough," Alonso admitted. "It's definitely very disappointing. We have to play better."
The Padres took the field one day after taking part in an intense bench- clearing brawl. San Diego outfielder Carlos Quentin incited the fracas when he charged the mound after being hit by a pitch thrown by the Dodgers' Zack Greinke.
As a result, Quentin received an eight-game suspension and was fined an undisclosed amount by the league. Quentin played Friday night after appealing the suspension but wasn't much of a factor, going 0-for-4.
The Padres trailed 2-0 before coming to the plate, as the first six Colorado batters reached base against starting pitcher Tyson Ross to start the game.
A Troy Tulowitzki single plated Rutledge and Carlos Gonzalez scored on Michael Cuddyer's base hit. With the bases loaded and one out, Ross avoided further damage by striking out both Wilin Rosario and Chris Nelson.
San Diego tied things up in the bottom of the first on Alonso's blast to center off Colorado starter Jon Garland.
Fowler put the Rockies back on top in the fifth, but the Padres countered in the home half of the frame as Nick Hundley led off with a double and scored on Venable's single.
Hundley and Venable each knocked in a run in the seventh to give San Diego a 5-3 lead.
Colorado, however, responded in the eighth against Luke Gregerson. With a man on first and one out, Cuddyer reached on an error by third baseman Jedd Gyorko. Helton followed with an RBI double and Cuddyer scored the tying run on a groundout by Rosario.
Game Notes
Garland gave up three runs on five hits in six innings ... Ross allowed three runs on five hits, walked three and struck out eight in 5 1/3 innings ... The Padres selected the contract of pitcher Thad Weber from Triple-A Tucson and designated infielder Cody Ransom for assignment.

Single Pill Combinations for Blood Pressure
Dr. Sharon Orrange -
Poor control of blood pressure (BP) is bad news, and is associated with enhanced risk of cardiovascular disease. Therapy with a single blood pressure medication fails to reach goals 75% of the time. This is just one reason that single pill combinations (two different blood pressure medications in one pill) make perfect sense.
Combining medications that have different and often complementary actions can lead to more complete and prompt reductions in BP. See More

Facebook feedback: If you could develop a reality TV show based in Terrebonne-Lafourche, what would it be and what would the title of the show be?
Lea Cantrelle: I think it should be called "A Slice of Heaven" and it would follow the different people that live off the land and waters of south Louisiana. Crabbers, fishermen and women, cane farmers, charter boats, etc. Show the world how we Cajuns really live and survive.
Maurie Croy: I would start a show that follows men and women who work in ship yards building and repairing ships and tugs. Showing how important we are to keeping the oil industry running. It would be called "Behind the Oil: The True Story of What Keeps You Running."
Dominic Amedee: Lots of people complained saying that the show portrayed us as ghost-chasing, gator-hunting, voodoo-practicing, teeth-missing swamp folk. I'd start a "reality" show about some missing teeth having alligator-ghost hunters who practice voodoo. And it would be called ... (someone help me out with the name please.)
Dominic Amedee: Lea, why not "Paradise" or maybe "A slice of Paradis?" Like the city up past Raceland?
Byron Friloux: Before this whole "zombie" ordeal came about, a few months ago I made up my own little zombie story plot for a B-rated movie I'd like to make one day. It starts off where I was raised in Grand Bois behind the Campbell Wells chemical plant, with an alligator eating a body of a man who worked there and unknowingly fell into one of the pits and was radioactively poisoned. Thus the gator becoming infected, my friends R.J. and Jay Paul Molinere catching it getting bitten and then find their way back to the town and spreading the infection through town and spread into Houma and throughout New Orleans. The plot mostly stays around the bayous where no one is safe, not even on the water because some of the wildlife become infected also leaving not much for survivors to live off of like most of them naturally do down our bayou. I had plenty more thought up and detailed, but I can't give away my whole story and someone steal my piece of work. Though I never came up with the perfect title for it yet.
Wendy Picou: The crazy things that go on at a donut shop. Call it, "As the Donut Turns."
Bo Toups: I would do a reality show around me. I'm from Terrebonne Parish. I been living in Houston for six years now where I'm trying to make a career in stand up comedy. Call it "Trying to be Funny."
Patti Stamper: A show that spotlights the people who work to make this area a better place, those who selflessly give of their time and resources to improve the quality of life for all, call it "Giving Back."
Ryan Lottinger: Follow Lafourche Parish's favorite band, Souled Out, as they entertain throughout south Louisiana. Call it "The Bayou Boogie.

With today�s rock-bottom interest rates, refinancing a mortgage intrigues many borrowers. It�s not always a slam-dunk � not all slam-dunks work out swimmingly; ask George Tenet.
Wealthy people miss one of life�s great pleasures, making the final payment on a house, a car or even a business loan. Don�t discount the psychic value of not having a mortgage especially during retirement but even for pre-retirees. You get a liberating mental freedom when you know your home is debt-free. A terrible misconception exists by many in the financial planning community who ignore this value. Financial advisors have Grand Canyon-sized conflict of interest since any money directed toward principal reduction means less funds to manage and less fees to the manager.
While our standard recommendation is to pay off a mortgage prior to or shortly after retirement, we look at each person/family�s case individually. The current interest environment had me second-guessing myself. The inspiration for today�s column came from a situation where a client looked at paying off their mortgage versus investing. Michael Kitces� well-respected blog, Nerd�s Eye View, offers commentary on financial planning topics and points out the misconception regarding refinancing versus investing.
The logical fallacy making the rounds generally follows if stocks have higher expected return than the interest rate on the loan, you should not prepay your mortgage � simple, neat, yet wrong. For decades, stock investors have demanded roughly a 5 percent interest rate premium over the risk-free return guaranteed by holding government bonds to maturity.
Intermediate to long-term government bonds have historically produced 5 percent returns versus stock market returns of 10 percent. Stocks are inherently risky, ask Bobby Lauder, War Damn Eagle. His Colonial Bank stock went to zero. As Kitces points out, �investors only buy at a price that implicitly meets their demand for higher return.�
If the question comes down to prepaying your mortgage versus investing, you should not look solely at the mortgage�s interest rate but add the historical risk premium of stocks. According to bankrate.com, current re-fi rates hover around 4 percent. Regions offers 10-15 year loans south of 4 percent, in any case the expected return would be north of 8 percent. Even the SWFD pension shoots lower. It�s not sufficient to merely clear whatever interest rate bar you choose, but you must include an equity risk premium.
Take a risk-averse investor who owns a basket of CDs or insured municipal bonds because of their risk-free returns. As the CDs mature or if the issuer calls the bonds (municipal bonds often have a feature where the issuer can prepay or call the bond before maturity), a risk-averse investor has a dilemma with respect to risk-free income. If they prepay their mortgage at 4, 5 or 6 percent, they earn what they don�t pay.
Yes, mortgage interest is tax-deductible so calculate whatever benefit you get by itemizing and adjust your interest rate appropriately. Don�t overlook the standard deduction. In 2013, a married couple can claim a $12,200 standard deduction.
A $250,000 mortgage with a 4 percent interest rate only chalks up $10,000 in deductible interest. With small mortgage balances, you don�t pay enough interest to itemize. Prepaying the mortgage is the equivalent earning a risk-free rate of return based on the loan�s interest rate.
With one year T Bills at .14 percent, paying off or avoiding a 4 percent mortgage improves your return 30 times � and that is a Louisville Cardinal slam dunk.

Gilbert's crazy ass, in equal time, netted 5 less points, 5 less rebounds, 2 less assists, and shot 20% worse from the field than Baron. Health aside, NOBODY should ever question who the better player is between those two. Crunch time was the best example: Gilbert tried to pick his team up by carrying them on his own, whereas Baron picked his team up by getting everyone into it (and sustaining the team's energy). Clearly, we're in better hands with Baron.
I disagree. This was Baron's best game of the season and just an average game for Arenas.
You don't think that Baron, in equal minutes, is the better player?
Arenas might be the better scorer (by a hair, thanks to his 3-point range), but Baron is a much better team general, playmaker, tempo-changer, and defender. All of the reasons that Arenas is considered "better" than Baron all have to do with issues that don't relate to their games (ie, Baron's injury prone, Baron can't play as many minutes).
I believe, in equal time, Baron Davis is the better player. Without question.

OSPFv2 by default setup only one adjacency over a single link. But this can be an issue some time and as a network designer you should understand the consequences and know the available solutions.
Placing a link in wrong OSPF area can create an OSPF sub optimal routing especially in hub and spoke topology.
In IS-IS or OSPFv3, this wouldn't be an issue because IS-IS and OSPFv3 allow link to be placed in more than area or level. (In IS-IS, area is assigned to the router, not to the link. Thus I use level keyword)
Let's look at the below network to understand what is the issue and how OSPF multi-area adjacency can solve the sub optimal routing problem. Read more

Rep. Wasserman Schultz: Bill Redefining Rape To Prevent Abortions Is 'A Violent Act Against Women'
House Republicans wasted no time in declaring their legislative priorities for the 112th Congress. The first: repeal health care for millions of Americans. The second: redefine rape. A day after repealing health care, Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ) introduced the No Taxpayer Funding For Abortion Act, a bill that would not only permanently prohibit some federally funded health-care programs from covering abortions, but would change the language exempting rape and incest from rape to "forcible rape."
By narrowing the Hyde Amendment language, Republicans would exclude the following situations from coverage: women who say no but do not physically fight off the perpetrator, women who are drugged or verbally threatened and raped, and minors impregnated by adults. As the National Women's Law Center's Steph Sterling puts it, this new standard of force "takes us back to a time where just saying no was not enough."
And yet, 172 Republicans — including sixteen women — and lone Democrat Rep. Daniel Lipinski (IL), chair of the House Pro-Life Caucus — readily support the new standard. Appalled at such a cavalier attack on women's rights, one House member is not taking the change lightly. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) "fiercely denounced" her conservative colleagues for this "absolutely outrageous" dilution of victims' rights. Enraged at the suggestion that "there is some kind of rape that would be okay," Wasserman Schultz told The Raw Story that she considers the bill itself to be "a violent act against women":
"It is absolutely outrageous," Wasserman Schultz said in an exclusive interview late Monday afternoon. "I consider the proposal of this bill a violent act against women."[...]
"It really is — to suggest that there is some kind of rape that would be okay to force a woman to carry the resulting pregnancy to term, and abandon the principle that has been long held, an exception that has been settled for 30 years, is to me a violent act against women in and of itself," Wasserman Schultz said.
"Rape is when a woman is forced to have sex against her will, and that is whether she is conscious, unconscious, mentally stable, not mentally stable," the four-term congresswoman added.[...]
Wasserman Schultz dismissed the effort as a nonstarter in the Democratic-led Senate and a guaranteed veto by President Barack Obama, but conceded that it may pass the GOP-controlled House. She called it "yet another example" of how the "extreme right-wing fringe of Republican Party has complete control over their agenda."
Because the bill makes the Hyde Amendment (which currently requires renewal every year) permanent, supporters are ignoring the rape language change and say it "largely codifies what has already been in practice" since 1976. As TPM notes, the pro-life community, "which is usually more than willing to sound off on abortion and what needs to be done to stop it," has been "radio silent." Smith, the bill sponsor, who lauds the bill's "comprehensive approach" in restricting victim's rights, refused to address the issue of forcible rape.
While this is not the first time anti-abortion lawmakers have attempted to pass the forcible rape language, there is probably a good reason the pro-life network has stayed mum. An overwhelming number of Americans believe abortion should be a choice when a woman is the victim of rape or incest. In a poll taken 30 years after the Roe v. Wade decision, 81 percent of Americans believed abortion should be legal in cases of rape or incest. The visceral and comprehensive violence such attacks inflict on victims should be as well understood among lawmakers as it is among the public. But the GOP insists that, despite what common sense, compassion, and gender equity demand, just saying no is no longer enough.

Please enter a valid email address
Product 12/13
TifBlair Centipede Seed - TifBlair Centipede has proven to be a improved variety of Centipede grass through research trials over the last few years. TifBlair centipede is commonly used for home lawns, parks, roadsides and landscape projects. TifBlair centipede lawns require 50% less mowing than other lawn grass varieties. TifBlair centipede is a fast and aggressive lawn grass variety. It will continue to spread after it is established choking out weeds and other grasses. TifBlair centipede grass is a excellent choice for home lawns in the Southeast.
Advantages of TifBlair
TifBlair Centipede is more cold tolerant and produces longer runners than common centipede. TifBlair Centipede germinates faster and is also more cold tolerant than common varieties.
Planting TifBlair
TifBlair can be planted anytime a new lawn can be prepared. However late summer planting (August 15 – November 1) is not advised due to inadequate time for establishment before winter. For best results plant in March or April, but quicker germination will occur May–July. TifBlair can be planted in the fall of the year after the soil temperatures are cold enough to prevent germination (typically after November 1). TifBlair seed will not germinate until the soil warms the following spring.
Planting Centipede Lawns:
Seed Rate: 1 lb. per 2000 - 4000 sq. ft.
Seed Depth: 1/8 to 1/4 inch
Planting Time: March - July
pH: 5.0 - 6.5
Fertilizer: 5lbs. per 1000 sq. ft. (16-04-08)
Variety: TifBlair Centipede (Eremochloa ophiuroides (Munro) Hack)
Seeding Rates:
To determine the amount of seed to purchase, multiply the length of the your lawn in feet by the width in feet to determine the square feet (sq. ft.). Subtract area for sidewalks, driveways, and other areas that will not be planted. Plant TifBlair Centipede at a rate of 1/2 pound per 1,000 sq. ft. Higher seeding rates (up to 1lb. per 1000 sq.ft.) will produce a quicker grow-in and produce a more dense turf in a shorter amount of time. Using higher rates of seed is more cost-effective than trying to save money on "light" seeding rates, because more watering and weed control will be necessary with "light" rates.
Planting Guide
Establishing a beautiful and attractive lawn consists of six easy steps.
Reseeding Existing Centipede Lawns
Cut existing lawn as close as possible or use round up to reduce vigor and competition from existing lawn.
Rake or scratch (aerify, scarify) the surface and remove debris.
Apply seed and water as described above.

It's getting weird in Cassadaga.
In the southwest Volusia County community known for its mediums and psychics, aliens have crashed-landed in a tree. A skeleton has been spotted driving an old-fashioned hearse. And a band of gypsies have set up camp.
Blame the community's recent infestation of strangeness on Richard Smith, the chief scare officer of the Cassadaga Spiritualist Camp's upcoming haunted tours, set for Oct. 29 and 30.
"For two nights, we have fun," said Smith, who has been a part of the Spiritualist Camp since 1996.
For years, the camp has cashed in on the town's mystique by hosting haunted tours, attracting people from across the region who want to experience Halloween in one of Florida's most unique communities.
Cassadaga is a 115-year-old community of spiritualists, who, among other beliefs, hold that the dead can communicate with the living through mediums.
On a recent Monday afternoon, Smith, 54, of DeLand, weaved his way through the yet-to-be completed Halloween attraction, pointing out more than 15 hair-raising scenes including a snake pit, an electric chair called "Old Sparky" and a toxic waste spill.
"All of this came out of my head," Smith said. "That can be very frightening."
But the community with the connection to the spirit world hasn't always embraced the holiday that originated as a welcoming of the return of departed souls.
For years, residents from outside Cassadaga had a difficult time visiting the community on Oct. 31. In 1996, community leaders blockaded the town on Halloween, citing concerns about vandalism from unwanted guests searching for a Cassadaga cemetery that doesn't exist. (The cemetery is actually in nearby Lake Helen.)
In 2003, as a way to raise money and control visitors' activities, the camp began hosting haunted walks. For two years, it put the haunted tours on hiatus. In 2009, the camp revived the tours, putting Smith in charge of the event.
"It helps us pay some of the bills," Smith said.
At the privately owned Cassadaga Hotel on Stevens Street, owner Diana Morn said the public is welcome to celebrate the Halloween season on a "more spiritual level." Throughout Halloween weekend, the hotel, built in the 1920s and said to be haunted, will host séances, meditations and rituals with a shaman.
Cassadaga pastor the Rev. Ben Cox said opening the community to outsiders shows the lighter side of spiritualism.
During the haunted tours, Cox will present a talk in the camp's temple on the history and meaning of Halloween. Calling himself Professor Trisfal Grey, a scholar of wizardry, Cox plans to lecture in a black robe, a red and gold scarf and Harry Potter-type glasses.
There will also be a psychic readings, a fortune-telling bone thrower and face painting.
"Halloween, for us, is having fun," Cox said. "It's not part of our religion."
Each year, Smith takes two weeks of his vacation time to help construct the tour, which now extends into a wooded area near the camp's main office.
"I'm Mr. Halloween," he said.
During the 11 other months of the year, Smith searches for props for the Halloween attraction, going to yard sales, rummaging through trash bins and picking up anything that could be used for the haunted tours and recycling it.
This year, Smith plans to attach plastic skulls onto used Christmas lawn ornaments, fashion an old satellite dish into an alien spacecraft and turn plastic tubing into a gaggle of giant snakes.
But the tour, he said, isn't filled with over-the-top gore and blood-soaked actors. He strives to make it family-friendly.
"I don't want it too scary," Smith said.
Smith said most people who come out for the haunted attraction want to see the Cassadaga community and meet its residents. The allure of interacting with real-life mediums and psychics, especially on Halloween, is intriguing, he said.
"People come out for the curiosity," Smith said. The event, however, isn't used as a way to find new camp members. "We do not try to convert anyone....The main thing here is to have fun."

In regards to Hunter, Dierkes doesn't think the Angels "would take the risk" of him accepting their qualifying offer, which would make them ineligible to receive draft compensation if he were to sign elsewhere this winter.
In 140 games for the Angels in 2012, Hunter, 37, hit .313 with 16 home runs and 92 RBI with 38 walks and 133 strikeouts in 584 plate appearances. He earned $18 million in the final year of a five-year, $90 million contract he signed with the Angels before the 2008 season.
Hunter is an interesting player, and someone who could fit into the Mets' outfield equation. He is overvalued at $13.3 million at this stage of his career, but could be viewed as a bargain for less, should he hit the open market. If he doesn't return to Los Angeles (either through the qualifying offer or on a lesser deal), I wonder if Hunter would consider a move to New York on a short-term deal.
Hunter is no longer an centerfielder, but he is still a very good rightfielder, posting a UZR of 10.4 and a .989 fielding percentage there in 2012. Offensively, his home runs declined in 2012 but he is still a productive hitter, outputting the same number of doubles in 2012 as he did in 2011 in 65 fewer plate appearances. He is also a right-handed bat, which could help restore balance to their lineup.
Teams have until Friday at 5:00 pm ET to make qualifying qffers to their free agents. If a player is made a qualifying offer, they have until 5:00 pm ET on November 9 to accept or decline. If a team makes a qualifying offer to a player, they will receive compensation in the following year's first-year player draft, regardless of whether or not the player accepts the offer.
To learn more about qualifying offers, check out this post to MetsBlog from earlier this month.

A Newport woman is being held under a $5 million bond after being accused of stealing $5.3 million over five years.
A Newport woman is being held under a $5 million bond after being accused of stealing $5.3 million over five years.
Susan White Garcia, 42, was indicted by a grand jury in Carteret County Superior Court for eight counts of class-C level obtaining property by false pretense, according to information from District Attorney Scott E. Thomas. The charge became a class C when it exceeded $100,000.
Garcia was an accounts payable manager for Big Rock Sports, LLC, and was responsible for obtaining, distributing and tracking the use of a number of company credit cards belonging to Big Rock Sports, according to the information. Garcia is accused of using several cards to make personal purchases and falsifying the corporate accounting records to cover it up.
Purchases allegedly included subscriptions to online gambling sites, purchases from Amazon.com and other retailers, and personal travel payments.
According to Big Rock Sports, staff discovered that Garcia had been violating company policy regarding use of company funds and notified state and local law enforcement.
The company said it would continue to work with law enforcement and other authorities involved in the process but will make no further statements.
�We�ve been working on this investigation since the fall of 2012,� Thomas said in the news release. �The SBI financial crimes unit has led the investigation with the assistance of Sheriff Asa Buck and his staff. Ms. Garcia has been indicted based upon the findings of the investigation. We will continue to work closely with the SBI, sheriff�s office, and Big Rock Sports as the prosecution of the case moves forward.�
Garcia faces 64 years in prison and will have a first appearance in Carteret County Superior Court during the term starting June 3.

It really isn't fair, is it. Debating someone over reality when the other guy has no concept of what is real. This video is one-sided, in that it only shows Sam Harris talking away, but he makes point after point about why this god guy stuff is so messed up. A nice synopsis of some key complaints we smart folks have about the bible.
You probably should have put the video in the general religious section, because it is a quick summation for Christians about the lack of logic and love in the Christian religion. Visitors should see this.For a human being on earth, to not believe in the Christian god that created a universe that continues to astound us as we learn of its size ( remember, evidence from the hubble telescope, when focused on a dark spot in space the size of a coin, shows an estimated 1500 galaxies ) results in punishment of eternal hell. How ridiculous. Just the idea of an eternal hell, when examined, is disregarded by many christians - it just throws morality out the window that a caring, loving wiccan will be eternally punished. Pretzel logic and bible contradictions needed.And the "free will" argument - where the lack of belief in a god along with realizing the truth that free will does not exist, results in an understanding of what that means morally to society - shows that punishment is always wrong. Even the serial killer deserves humane treatment when cause and response is understood. Religion holds back true morality.We are responsible for humanity. We are responsible for helping each other. edit: bad English, as PP says

Consumers Turn to Food to Lower LDL Cholesterol
Many people are turning to foods before they try drugs to lower their LDL cholesterol, and the food industry is well-armed to respond.
Cholesterol serves multiple important purposes. It's the precursor to steroid hormones and vitamin D; it helps form the bile acids that aid fat digestion; and it stabilizes membranes. But in the wrong place at the wrong time for some of us, cholesterol can earn its bad reputation.
The so-called "bad" cholesterol is that fraction transported from liver to tissues via low-density proteins (LDLs). Lipoproteins are particles that encapsulate fatty material and transport it through the blood. High-density lipoproteins (HDLs) move cholesterol in the opposite direction, from tissues to liver, a task that earns these smaller particles their "good cholesterol" nickname.
LDL cholesterol is thought to put us at risk for heart disease, via the participation of cholesterol in atherosclerotic plaque, while HDLs are believed to mitigate the risk. Since cardiovascular disease is still the No. 1 cause of death globally, manipulating cholesterol numbers -- lowering the former and raising the latter -- has become the quintessential dietary health strategy.
Though heredity is an important determinant in LDL and HDL levels, diet can be the first line of defense against hypercholesterolemia. Eating cholesterol-laden foods has less of an effect on serum cholesterol than previously believed -- even the most stringent avoidance diet can be hard-put to drop cholesterol levels more than 20 percent. However, eating the tools -- the right foods and ingredients -- to lower cholesterol is where diet is important.
Start the day right
Few breakfast foods are as traditional as oats, which made Quaker Oats a household name long before cholesterol was a hot topic. When research on health benefits of soluble fiber first broke in the 1970s, oats were the grain most nutrition experts pointed to as a way to help lower cholesterol. But at the time few cold cereals were low-sugar, healthful sources of fiber.
"Smart Start Healthy Heart is the first national cold cereal containing the oat bran that may help lower cholesterol," says Zack Madden, account coordinator for Kellogg's (www.kelloggs.com), Battle Creek, Mich. Smart Start Healthy Heart is available in Original, Cinnamon Raisin and Maple Brown Sugar flavors. The cereal contains 2g soluble fiber from oat bran per serving. Three grams of soluble fiber daily from oat bran in a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol may reduce the risk of heart disease.
Nature's Path Organic Foods (www.naturespath.com), Richmond, British Columbia, added SmartBran to its EnviroKidz, LifeStream and Optimum cereal line-up. "SmartBran is a natural extension," explains founder and CEO Arran Stephens. "SmartBran is the best source of heart-healthy, gut-healthy soluble fiber out there -- bar none," he claims.
SmartBran is the first certified-organic, high-fiber cereal with psyllium. It features three different sources of dietary fiber: psyllium, oat and wheat, totaling 13g of dietary fiber per serving.
Soluble fiber comes in many guises. Inulin is a unique form that consists of linked fructose sugars. Untouched by our digestive enzymes, inulin becomes food for friendly gut bacteria. "Historically, humans have eaten significantly large amounts of inulin. The highest food concentrations occur in dahlia tubers, burdock roots, chicory roots, artichokes and greens -- foods not traditionally eaten in large amounts these days.
The addition of inulin can provide soluble fiber in unexpected places. "Yogurt is a traditional source of probiotics, but with the addition of inulin, yogurt adds prebiotics to the mix and the potential for lowering blood cholesterol," says Carmelle Druchniak, senior communications manager for Stonyfield Farm (www.stonyfield.com), Londonderry, N.H.
Stonyfield obtains inulin in powder form from Orafti Group (www.orafti.com), Malvern, Pa., which derives inulin from chicory root via a natural, hot-water distilling process.
Because inulin is a soluble fiber, it helps maintain normal bowel function, decreases constipation, lowers cholesterol and triglycerides and helps normalize blood sugar levels. Inulin has been used as both a fat substitute and a sugar substitute. "Its slightly sweet taste and smooth texture improves the eating experience of low-fat and fat-free foods," says Druchniak.
"Research is demonstrating the nutritional value of inulin goes beyond what is typical of most classical fibers. Inulin has been shown to increase calcium absorption in adolescents and post-menopausal women by as much as 20 percent. As a prebiotic, inulin increases the growth of probiotics in the large intestine. This essentially adds a new site for calcium absorption," adds Druchniak.

I'd like to clear a couple of things up from Orberg's LLPSI Cap XXXVIII.
1. Quae postquam Helenus vates divino ore fatus est, dona magnifica ad naves ferri iussit.
Quae is neuter nominative plural - after which (things / events).??
2. Praeterea hoc unum ante omnia te moneo: semper Iunonem primum adora atque illi deae potenti maxima sacrificia fac!
What is 'Praeterea hoc unum ante omnia' ? I think it means Besides, one thing above all I warn you..
but I'm not sure how it works. 'te moneo' is easy. 'te' is accusative. But what is 'hoc unum'? Is it neuter nominative or neuter accusative...and why?
Or does 'hoc unum' refer to a previous point. 'Besides this one thing....above all I warn you....?

The Bears weren't ready to start the game. Again.
They were undisciplined. Again.
They were mistake-prone. Again.
They couldn't stop the run. Again.
That's on the coach. A lot of the Bears' inexplicably awful performance in St. Louis is on Marc Trestman. The players own blame, too, but Trestman's team wasn't prepared, couldn't execute and couldn't expect Mother Nature to give it another do-over.
The Bears gave up 14 points before the game was three minutes old. On six plays.
The league's second-worst run defense gave up 81 yards on the first series and 258 in all. The Rams' second running back ran for more than 100 yards. Their second back, do you hear me?
A Bears team that committed 13 penalties a week ago committed another 10 Sunday, three of them wiping out TDs.
They needed nine snaps to score on first-and-goal at the 1. What does Michael Bush do for a living? Same question for Trestman. The rookie coach had been so good early with his decisions on short yardage. All bad now.
Josh McCown blew a red-zone series with a sloppy flat pass to Bush and overthrew Alshon Jeffery on a fade. How can he be so frighteningly inconsistent in the red zone with big receivers?
McCown tried to keep the Bears in the game, but the backup quarterback who hadn't turned over the ball in relief of Jay Cutler lost a fumble and threw an interception in the fourth quarter.
The linebackers were lost all day right from the start. Tight end Jared Cook had a career day with four catches for 80 yards and a score. Rams running backs were into the third level shortly after almost every handoff.
The linebackers had company in getting lost. The defensive ends were giving up the edge like it was buy-one-get-one. Shea McClellin ought to get tipped by Rams running backs.
And bang, it was obvious early. Tavon Austin ran slick end-around action, then reversed his field and raced untouched 65 yards for a score on the game's third play. Julius Peppers reportedly aired out the linebacker after a play the linebackers apparently should've known was coming.
On a day when the Lions went all Lions and lost at home to Tampa Bay, the Bears failed miserably to take advantage. This went beyond frustrating. This was a joke. Ridiculous.
And speaking of ridiculous, Devin Hester finally ran back that record-breaking return, only to lose it because Craig Steltz was flagged for holding.
Good Lord, the Bears lost to a team quarterbacked by Kellen Clemens. When that happens, you're embarrassed. When that happens, I believe, the NFL relegates you to the SEC and promotes Alabama.
Even when the Bears got lucky before and after a ruckus in the second quarter, they still couldn't score for almost two full quarters.
Trestman's red-zone offense, Aaron Kromer's offensive line, Mel Tucker's defense, Joe DeCamillis' special teams -- the Bears have major issues in all three phases with four new coaches making decisions.
I don't know if this qualifies as Trestman's first major crisis as coach of the Bears, but when his team is unconscionably unprepared to start consecutive games, it sure feels like it.

The morning roll call was long: GMAC Mortgage vs. Thomas Brady. SunTrust Mortgage vs. Scott Dodat. Wells Fargo vs. Janet Winn.
On it went.
One-by-one, foreclosure cases were called out by a retired judge — many dating back to the trough of the crisis in 2008 — and dismissed by the court in just seconds.
The local judicial system, still burdened with a backlog of more than 10,000 foreclosures, cleared a 60-page docket with nearly 300 languishing cases Friday in about an hour.
The hearing was set to remove stagnant defaults that had fallen through the cracks and that had not been touched in the past 10 months — housekeeping that is still done a few times each year.
A couple dozen attorneys scurried into the cramped downtown justice center promptly at 9 a.m., trying to save their case from the purge.
For most, it was too late.
Tearful homeowners also arrived, holding court orders and stacks of mortgage bills, not knowing what to expect. Before they could even get a word out, their cases were tossed.
Nobody was there to fight it.
The dismissals give homeowners more time, as the lenders now have to start over.
Certain foreclosures were left open, the result of circumstances like bankruptcy, pending loan modification or a filing that was simply missed.
Bad luck.
"I can't argue against that," one defense attorney murmured to another. "I just wish the (bank) hadn't showed up. Oh well."
The sweep was the latest sign of how banks continue to struggle with laying their hands on delinquent homes even seven years after the initial tidal wave of filings.
For a court system looking for a break, Friday morning was about as easy as they come.
"It's a good way to clean out the dead wood," Circuit Court Judge Lee Haworth said. "A lot of these plaintiff's attorneys are asleep at the switch."
In an hour, judge clears 300 foreclosure cases
The morning roll call was long: GMAC Mortgage vs. Thomas Brady. SunTrust Mortgage vs. Scott Dodat. Wells Fargo vs. Janet Winn.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- A Minnesota legislator's tweet about the NBA has prompted hundreds of responses, with many on social media calling it racist.
State Rep. Pat Garofalo sent a tweet Sunday that read: ''Let's be honest, 70% of teams in NBA could fold tomorrow + nobody would notice a difference w/ possible exception of increase in streetcrime.''
The Star Tribune reports that when asked about the tweet, the Farmington Republican said he was ''talking about NBA's high arrest rate and that they are the only major pro league that testing positive for marijuana is not a substance abuse violation.''
Garofalo added: ''No intent beyond that.''
Within two hours of his tweet, more than 600 people retweeted it and hundreds more responded. Many called the comment he made in the tweet racist.

How Can I Fix Dry Hair?
Dishwasher Technician Scottsdale Arizona
Healthy hair tips:
Use a moisturizing shampoo condtioner and leave in creme. I reccomened Neutrogena Triple Moisture, shampoo conditioner and deep recovery hair mask. It nourishes and
revitalizes dry dull damaged hair to softer shinier healthier hair everytime you wash it
If you dye your hair alot, leave your hair alone and wait to dye it atleast 3 years later or so. Hair dye has terrible chemicals that kill dry/damage your hair.
Brush your hair before shampooing and conditioner so your hair won't be tangeled and managable.
Comb your hair about 20 times each side so your natural oils can fall into the rest of your hair for natural shine
Don't wash your hair everyday try 3 times a week, Washing hair everyday strips the natural oils of your hair into duller dry hair.
Discontinue to heat style your hair or your hair will end up more dry/damaged, wait till it's completely healthy and maybe heat style once a week.
Avoid combing hair while wet, gently use a wide tooth comb, hair is very vulnerable while wet and can break off easily.
Don't put your hair into pigtails, buns or ponytails while wet, that causes split ends, breakage and damage.
Deep condition twice a week to bring back moisture to your hair.
Trim your hair tips every 4-6 weeks to promote healthy hair grow and prevent split ends from happening.
While shampooing massage your scalp with your fingertips slowly, not with your nails, nails damage the scalp and nails tend to be dirty. it's not necessary to shampoo the ends, then rinse with warm water to open the hair cuticles.
While conditioner leave on for about 2-4 minutes so you can get great results then comb hair with wide tooth comb then rinse with very cold water to help seal the hair cuticles.
If you use gel/hairspray/moose stop using them. They damage and dry up your hair because of the alchohol it contains.
If you use heat appliaces (blowdryers,curling irons, hair straightener) use a heat protecter spray so it'll protect your hair from heat.
If hair is really dry, go to the salon to get a deep treatment on your hair.
Once a month use a special deep conditioning treatment like olive oil, vitamin e oil, mayonaisse, eggs, hot oil treatment, castor oil, coconut oil almond oil or avocado.
Take multivimains, vitamin e, follic acid or prenatal vitamins to promote healthy hair growth.
Drink lots of water for shinier/healthier hair and eat lots of protein and healthy food like meat, milk, cheese, peanut butter, eggs pasta, cooked beans and raw vegetables.
If your in the sun alot buy a cap or a hoodie to protect your hair from the sun, heat damages and drys out your hair.
Buy a leave-in-conditioner/leave-in conditioner/creme to moisturize your hair all day long and don't rinse.
After your out of the shower set your blowdryer on cool setting and blowdryer your hair for 2 minutes, this will help seal the hair cuticles for a smooth shiny surface.
While combing hair, comb it gentle to avoid breakage.
For a hot oil treatment:

Uh, wait. There's another streak?
Elton Brand, Ron Artest, Fred Hoiberg, Marcus Fizer and A.J. Guyton know about it, even if coach Vinny Del Negro didn't.
"I don't pay attention to that stuff," Del Negro said. "Different teams. Different players."
Nevertheless, the Bulls hadn't won here since Guyton tallied 24 points and Brand corralled 12 rebounds on April 17, 2001, a span of 13 games. That included the loss to end the 2006-07 season, which prevented the Bulls from winning 50 games and capturing the Eastern Conference's second seed.
"2001?" Rose said incredulously. "I was in grammar school. So I wasn't even thinking about the NBA back then."
Luckily for the Bulls, Rose is now. His 21 points and season-high 13 assists featured 10 fourth-quarter points as the Bulls doubled up the Nets in the fourth. Andres Nocioni also scored 10 in the fourth, taking advantage of the Nets' double-teaming of Rose.
"Sometimes I can do it, you know?" Nocioni said, smiling. "I was confident. But I took my open shots. That's it. I did nothing special. When Derrick passes me the ball, I'm going to shoot my shot. I'm wide open."
With the game tied 86-86 and 4 minutes 35 seconds left, the Bulls ripped off a 14-0 run. Ben Gordon swished two three-pointers and Rose added a long jumper and two free throws.
The Nets went scoreless for the final 4:34 except for Vince Carter's free throw with 15.9 seconds to go.
"We played better defense," said Nocioni, who had called out his teammates after Saturday's loss in Atlanta. "I like the attitude and how we played the fourth quarter."
The Bulls came out where they left off offensively in Atlanta, shooting 54 percent in the first quarter to build a 13-point lead and making half their three-pointers by halftime, by which point their lead had been whittled to 54-49.
Larry Hughes, effective with 17 points, seven rebounds and five assists, sank his first three shots, including two three-pointers, and had 13 points by the break. Gordon added 15 by halftime.
But live by the perimeter shot, die by the perimeter shot, and the Bulls went cold to start the third. They missed their first seven shots, with two turnovers for good measure, and didn't score until Rose's layup at the 6:43 mark.
The Bulls finally changed some negative road streaks.
"I was just taking what the defense was giving me," Rose said. "I was just making the open pass. In the second half they double-teamed all the time. But I adjusted to it.
"We really needed this one. We were falling back a bit. We made plays down the stretch and got stops. It feels good."
- - -
Big number
78: With Luol Deng, Drew Gooden, Kirk Hinrich and Michael Ruffin hurt, this is the Bulls' number of games missed to injury or illness. But 31 belong to Ruffin, so that adds some perspective.

Academic Integrity
The NAU mission and purposes describe the university's commitment to assist students in further development of ethical values and behavior. A significant aspect of one of the purposes relates to academic integrity and the encouragement of honesty and ethical behavior on the part of students and graduates. Academic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, plagiarizing and/or cheating on assignments, tests or projects; or assisting someone else in these actions.
Students are encouraged to model behaviors that reflect honesty and integrity, and, therefore, may not engage in or tolerate cheating, plagiarism or other forms of academic dishonesty and/or related misconduct. Students should work in collaboration with each other to accomplish educational objectives; however, they are also responsible for their own understanding of the academic content and for their own work. Students who are unclear about the academic dishonesty examples listed below should seek clarification from a faculty member or staff members with appropriate expertise.
The most common forms of academic dishonesty include but are not limited to:
- Using or attempting to use unauthorized assistance, material or student aids in examinations or other academic work. Examples: using a cheat sheet on an exam, copying from another student's exam, copying an exam before it is given, collaborating on an assignment without course instructor's consent, or altering exam answers and resubmitting the exam for a better grade.
- Using the ideas, data, or language of another without specific and proper acknowledgment. Examples: failing to cite a reference or to use quotation marks where appropriate, or misrepresenting another's work as one's own original creation.
Fabrication and Falsification:
- Submitting contrived or altered information in an academic exercise. Examples: inventing data, research results, information or procedures in an academic exercise, reporting false information about internship or practicum experiences, or altering the record of data or experimental procedures or results.
Multiple Submission:
- Submitting, without prior permission, substantial portions of the same academic work for credit more than once.
Complicity in Academic Dishonesty:
- Knowingly helping or attempting to help another commit an act of academic dishonesty; failing to report instances of academic dishonesty of which the student is aware.
Students are responsible for seeking information about accurate documentation of citations and references for specific content areas. Students who are unclear about the cheating and plagiarism examples listed above should seek clarification from a faculty member or staff members with appropriate expertise.
The university trusts the members of the faculty to enforce policies and to establish procedures in their classes that will encourage honesty and ethical behavior on the part of students. The university expects that faculty members will not only make the determination of academic dishonesty but that they will impose the sanctions described below as appropriate.
Penalties are given at the discretion of the academic dean and/or provost and are determined based on the severity of the violation and any prior history of academic dishonesty. Penalties include the following:
- Failing grade for test, assignment, or project
- Failing grade for course
- Temporary or permanent suspension (assigned only by the provost)
A student may not withdraw from the course or change the grading option for the course before an allegation of academic dishonesty has been resolved. Generally, if a student has either admitted to the allegation or has been found responsible for academic dishonesty, the student will not be permitted to withdraw from the course or change the grading option for the course.

Parente Named to Health Care Cost Institute's Governing Board
New nonprofit group partners with insurance companies to research medical data
Professor Stephen Parente was named to the seven-member governing board of the Health Care Cost Institute (HCCI) - a new health research initiative that will allow researchers and policymakers access to a comprehensive collection of health plan and government payer data and offer new insights into health care costs, utilization, and intensity.
HCCI will provide access to de-identified data from plans operated by Aetna, Humana, Kaiser Permanente and UnitedHealthcare, as well as some government data from Medicare Fee for Service and Medicare Advantage activity. These data will include more than 5 billion medical claim records representing more than $1 trillion of health care activity from over 5,000 hospitals and 1 million service providers from calendar year 2000 through the present. Additionally, the commercial data will be updated regularly to ensure its usefulness for research purposes.
"No one has seen anything like this before," Parente told the Star Tribune. "This is something we always thought would be great to do, but to get the plans to agree to do it was a challenge."
Parente, who is also director of the Medical Industry Leadership Institute, adds that gaining access to private insurance data, which covers the majority of Americans, could be a researcher's gold mine, offering a "granular level of detail" on every aspect of care. It's the hope of the Institute that this will lead to more efficient spending decisions on all levels of health coverage.
As a member of the governing board, Parente will help HCCI put in place proper procedures to ensure the integrity of its work. The board will also work to broaden the list of participating health plans and add more data from government payers, including Medicaid.
