Boom Goes The Dynamite: First Round 03.18.10 EditionPosted by jstevrtc on March 18th, 2010
Best first flight of games ever? It just might be. Right now the Selection Committee are looking like a bunch of geniuses. We have confidence in the second flight of games bringing some excitement, too. We popped for the DirecTV package so we'll be monitoring every game:
- Ohio vs Georgetown
- East Tennessee State vs Kentucky
- Northern Iowa vs UNLV
- Washington vs Marquette
- San Diego State vs Tennessee
- Wake Forest vs Texas
- Lehigh vs Kansas
- Montana vs New Mexico
After what we saw this afternoon, we suggest you join us for our live-blogging feature this evening. Get that refresh-button finger warmed up, and by all means let us know in the comments section what you're watching and how you're celebrating this unofficial national holiday. We'll start at around 7 PM ET. See you there!
7:00: That's OK Hemogoblin. Though scheduling a fantasy baseball draft TODAY?? Hmmm… Anyway, Butler is polishing off UTEP in a game that is going to screw up a lot of brackets. UTEP was a popular upset pick for the first round, and sometimes beyond. Frankly, I expected more from Arnett Moutrie at the forward spot. Zero points today.
7:30: OK, sorry there, folks. Had a quick dinner break, which I tried to time right so it would happen during the single-game interval. Didn't hit it. We haven't missed much. Kentucky has started pretty hot against ETSU and UNLV has taken an early lead over Northern Iowa.
7:52: Kentucky is shooting 70% to start this game. YEESH. They're already up 41-16 against ETSU. At what point do you pull the starters to rest for the second game against either Wake or Texas?
7:58: Anyone want to wake up Georgetown? The Armon Bassett/D.J. Cooper tandem has been quite effective for the Bobcats, so far a combined 6-12 and 15 of Ohio U.'s 33 points.
8:02: Goodness. John Wall already has seven assists. Let's see what else is on…
8:06: Tommy Freeman has hit three of three from three-point land, and Oklah…er, I mean, Ohio U. is up FIFTEEN on a team that people were saying should have moved up to at least the 2-seed line. They're shooting 55%….but can they keep it up?
8:13: Amazed at Georgetown. Ohio U. is able to drive inside at will against the Hoyas and they also happen to have hit EIGHT threes in the first half. They average seven a game. I gotta give a hat-tip to a Seth Davis tweet on that stat. Halftime: 48-36 Bobcats.
8:19: Matt — I agree. That's not an argument I heard much of, but I agree with you. Right now, the committee are looking like a bunch of geniuses.
8:26: Paula and Matt….seriously, I wouldn't despair on that Georgetown pick. I'm sure John Thompson III has gotten the message across at halftime, and you'll see a different G'Town team. And Ohio U. is going to have to keep this shooting percentage up. I'd be surprised if that happened.
8:32: So far the story for UNLV has been Matt Shaw, coming off the bench. He's got 12 on 4-5 shooting, but unfortunately Oscar Bellfield hasn't provided much (2 pts on 1-6), and UNI is still up 39-38.
8:37: I looked over at the Kentucky vs ETSU game. UK's up 37 after a John Wall three. Great hoogly moogly.
8:47: I….I just don't know what to say about Ohio U. FEARLESS. They're up 17 with about 13 minutes left. Now 19. This is unreal.
8:57: I agree, Matt. Kwadzo Ahelegbe and Ali Faroukhmanesh are slick, and they're both streaky from three. When they get hot, look out. But yeah, they both seem to get open a lot. I like the use of 'crafty.' By the way, it's down to 11. and there's a LOT of time left.
9:12: Just looked back in on Kentucky vs ETSU. It's somewhere around a 30 point lead. Why does Calipari have his starters still in there? If he's not going to play his bench guys NOW, when will he? I'm teling you, that second round game of theirs isn't going to be easy, no matter who it is…
9:22: Aaaaaand….Georgetown's toast. The run you're looking for is not coming.
9:25: Ali Faroukhmanesh!! Drills a three from about 22 feet to put UNI up by three with 1.6 left! Honestly, WHEN HAVE YOU SEEN A BETTER FIRST DAY OF GAMES??
9:32: Looks like Georgetown believed a little of that talk about them being a 1 or 2 seed. Bye-bye.
9:43: Suddenly, Marquette vs Washington has become a SHOOTOUT, and hey, look…ANOTHER close game!
9:47: Both of these teams have put four guys apiece in double figures, all led by Lazar Hayward's 20. Man, I'm looking forward to watching more of Kawhi Leonard for SDSU. I'll admit, I've only seen SDSU play two halves in two different games this season. Oh, and my mom picked Ohio over Georgetown. Now THAT'S an upset.
10:00: Pondexter!! He banks it in to give Washington a two-point lead!!
10:05: Marquette goes down!! Someone should call the Big East and tell them the tournament starts today…
10:10: Did you hear that?? Ari Stewart shot that three for Wake, and when it was halfway there he told his man, "Another one!!" And it went in. Love it.
10:22: HOLY COW, Steve Fisher! What's with the red face??!? Man, take an aspirin before you go soak up the rays, man! Or take your blood pressure man. Wow!
10:33: This just in: Kawhi Leonard is a man. Seriously, he's everywhere. Scoring, rebounds, changes opponents' shots on defense…the only negative is that he's taken a couple of bad shots, and UT is still up six with less than 3 minutes left.
10:43: Hager: I agree. I can't believe…it's JUST DAY ONE.
10:47: Am I the only one who gets that? Steven Pearl's gonna go get the papers, get the papers. Oh well. I might have to retire that.
10:55: I have no dog in the fight, but if Lehigh beats Kansas, I pledge the following: I will enroll at Lehigh, major in Physics, and audit all the courses and NOT take a degree. And I'm way too old for college.
11:05: Does anyone think New Mexico looks a little uninterested? I can understand their concern for their star Darington Hobson who went out with a wrist injury pretty early…but they're a three. They have to be ready to go even — or maybe especially — if their star goes down.
11:19: Kawhi Leonard is going to have to take over for SDSU if they're going to keep this close. Tennessee isn't playing really great basketball — definitely a 6-seed looking to coast and do the bare minimum. But they're still managing to keep a lead.
11:30: Anyone else amazed by Texas' total lack of interest? I know…it's a fad to talk about how bad Texas is and what they've become. But I really thought we'd see an improved UT team once the NCAA started. I thought they'd realize what amatch-up problem they'd be for Kentucky, and play with more gusto. I think this proves that this team was lost by their coach. Something happened after that first loss that caused them to lose faith in Rick Barnes. They may still pull this game against Wake out, but I'm still amazed at the fall.
11:59: SDSU has just been hurt and then benefitted from two pretty worthless calls. Again, Kawhi Leonard needs to show us some killer instinct, and take over. I think he has the ability, but we need to see the desire kick in right now.
12:03 AM Friday: Hi, Steve Fisher? Orville Reddenbacher called…
12:05: Man, I turn away from Wake-Texas for five seconds and we have a tie game! We have two more games inside of twelve seconds that are one-possession games. I CAN'T BELIEVE this day of games.
12:10: Matt: Oh, absolutely. Especially in the last 4-5 minutes. D.J Gay has OWNED Bobby Maze.
12:12: OVERTIME at Wake/Texas! I'm telling you, Kentucky gets either Wake Forest, who has the only person in the nation quicker with the ball than John Wall (I'm not kidding) in Ish Smith, OR, they get Texas, and I don't know who on UK's team will guard Damion James. They'll be favored over either, and with good reason. But tough match-ups on BOTH sides for the Wildcats.
12:22: In the final minute of OT, Tony Woods with the SLAM put-back to make it four. Texas is going to have to screw up to lose this one. Up four, though J'Covan Brown just missed two FTs at 89% on the year…
12:27: Ari Stewart with a three! That makes it one point and only 15 seconds left. Here we go…
12:33: ISH SMITH COME UP BIG for Wake Forest!!!! WOW! An unfortunately fitting end to the Longhorns' season. But again….I CANNOT BELIEVE this day of games. Absolutely, positively, the best first day ever. And tomorrow? SIXTEEN MORE TEAMS. And we get Gus Johnson!!!
12:46: Gotta hit that lay-up, Montana. Or kick out for a three, since that's what you needed. Five point lead with 13.5 seconds left for NM.
12:49: New Mexico survives, and the most amazing first day in NCAA Tournament history comes to an end.
12:51: But…have no fear, folks. We'll be back tomorrow with another version, and we're still deciding when to start it. It'll either be an early start around noon, or more toward the evening like today's version of BGTD. More info on that to come in the next few hours. As for now, get some rest, because we have 16 more games tomorrow! Check out the site for game summaries and our takes as usual. And of course for the next version of BGTD. Thanks to all the commenters tonight. We appreciate your participation, and it's one of the reasons we do these. Hope to see you tomorrow and/or down the line. Later!

Chris Hemsworth explains that Thor will be taking some advanced hammer wielding courses between now and The Avengers. Roberto Orci drops the most cryptic Star Trek hint ever. Plus the latest insane Superman rumor reveals a surprising possible female villain!
Spoilers from here on out!
The Avengers
Thor star Chris Hemsworth says the movie starts shooting very soon, although he won't be there immediately:
The film starts shooting in a couple of weeks, and then I come on after the Thor press tour, which is around sort of the beginning of May. That's when I enter the scene.
He also explained that The Avengers will feature some more hammer use than what we see in Thor:
Yeah, it's a new team of stunt guys and we're taking it to the next level and probably getting a little more technical with the technique of using the hammer, and incorporating some sort of broadsword techniques.
According to a person who is supposedly an inside source at NASA, The Avengers will film at Sandusky, Ohio's John Glenn Space Power Facility. Among other things, the facility has a massive vacuum chamber that's over 122 feet high and 100 feet in diameter, which might be the most obvious thing a film crew would be interested in. That said, this is all just hearsay until we hear something more substantial. [ComicBookMovie]
Marc Ruffalo detailed the final preparation before filming stars:
We have to get the script. We've been working on the script, which has been fun. I've lost 15 pounds. They don't want me all ripped up, but they want me to be lean and mean. It's about trying to get the psychology of somebody who knows, at any moment, they could literally tear the roof off of wherever they are and trying to bring something real to that and totally fantastic. I've been working with Joss Whedon on the script, with the rest of the cast, and we start rehearsals soon. Hopefully, we'll have the mother of all comic book movies for you soon.
Chris Hemsworth described what he has seen in the early cuts and what should show up in the finished film:
I saw an early cut, but... everything that we started out trying to achieve in the script ... most of it is in there. Anything that's not is just brief sort of moments that you would remove to move the story along quicker or what have you. Now the general outline is still the same and I was hugely impressed. In an early unfinished cut, I was still able to be swept away as an audience member and enjoy the film. It's not only incredibly impressive in the Asgardian world – the universe they've created and the costumes – but also the earthbound stuff. There's a human, relatable story there and a real sense of humor to it, too.
Star Trek 2
Co-writer Roberto Orci offered perhaps the most cryptic quote imaginable on who - or what - the villain of the next film will be. When asked to respond to a rumor that the villain first appeared in the original show's first season, Orci replied:
I don't think so. We have talked about the villain may be a person, or it may be a concept. We don't know yet – or nobody knows yet, but us.
He also offered this explanation as to how he and partner Alex Kurtzman approach writing their scripts. He does mention Klingons in passing, but it just reads as a throwaway reference:
You start to learn what works and what doesn't work from before, but every time you go out there, it's the same blank page, and it's the same horrible process. But in all of the genre stuff we do, we always say, what is the little theme that would be an independent movie if you didn't have robots or space ships or Klingons? And if you have that story, then maybe you're on the right track. In Star Trek, it's a brotherhood of opposites that have to come together. In Transformers, it's a kid growing up to adulthood. In [Cowboys and Aliens], we wanted to make sure we found the same kind of character starting place that allows everything else to happen around it.
Superman Reboot
Howard Stern of all people has reportedly said that auditions are currently under way for Lex Luthor and Miss Teschmacher, Luthor's not particularly bright assistant who appeared in Superman: The Movie and Superman II. As Superman rumors go, this all seems about as credible as those silly Lindsay Lohan rumors, so I'd remain highly skeptical until we hear something more substantial. [ComicBookMovie]
The Hobbit
Orlando Bloom said he is indeed likely to return as Legolas:
Yeah, it's looking like that. I'm really excited about going to see Pete [Jackson] again. It's still a little up in the air, but the idea of working with Pete is fantastic. I can't actually really talk too much about it, at this point. I just was given the script to piece through, so it's quite exciting.
The Crow
The new Crow movie, which once reportedly involved the likes of Mark Wahlberg, Nick Cave, and Blade director Stephen Norrington but has since started over completely, is reportedly bringing in 28 Weeks Later director Juan Carlos Fresadillo. The movie is supposedly set for a fall start date, but no writer is currently attached to the project, so I'm guessing that's a little on the optimistic side. [IGN]
Red Dawn
Chris Hemsworth also discussed his work in MGM's long-delayed remake, saying the recent decision to change the enemy from China to North Korea won't make much difference at all in terms of the story:
It was always pretty vague even when we were shooting. They kind of never mentioned who it was anyway. It wasn't heavily suggested, so I think it was an easy technical fix for them whether they do it with a little CGI or the occasional voice-over line. But the Russians were in there, maybe the Chinese and they mention someone else, so it just wasn't really the focus. It wasn't really a political take on anything. It could've been the Australians for all we cared. I guess MGM have their reasons for doing it, but we as the actors were never really involved with it.
Doctor Who
Here's a general overview of the show. It's mainly useful for newer fans, although is a short clip from the opening two-parter at the 3:00 mark. Matt Smith also mentions that he believes the Doctor is now 911 years old, suggesting he's now four years older than he was in the fifth series. [Life, the Universe, and Combom]
Steven Moffat says there are no plans to bring back the Daleks this year, outside of a possible minor cameo like in last year's "The Big Bang." Of course, there were also supposedly no plans to bring back the Daleks in series two, and "Doomsday" went in a slightly different direction than that, so it's possible this is a bit of misdirection. [Life, the Universe, and Combom]
Here are some new set photos. [SpoilerTV]
Torchwood: Miracle Day
Here's an interview with star John Barrowman. [Life, the Universe, and Combom]
True Blood
Episode nine will reportedly be called "Run." [SpoilerTV]
Here are some promo photos for episode 20, "Chuck vs. the Family Volkoff." [SpoilerTV]
Being Human (US)
Here are some photos and a short description for the season finale, "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Me Killing You": "Nora finds out the truth about Josh and Sally is finally able to touch." [Daemon's TV]
The CW has released a first cryptic promo for the finale, which features some very familiar music by John Williams. [KSiteTV]

A network that is open to the world
In response to these markets, the group organized its Research and Innovation in an open and collaborative manner, by developing truly international networking.
To be closer to consumers around the world, Research & Innovation strengthened its global presence. It includes 19 research centers worldwide, organized into 6 poles. The European pole integrates the global center for Advanced Research as well as the 3 global centers that define, for each of the 3 lines of business - hair, skin care and make-up - a global strategy and spearhead the portfolio of innovations. These global centers serve as the hub for a network that includes 5 other regional poles in the United States, Japan, China, India and Brazil. The mission of these poles? To adapt the global strategy to the specific features of their markets. But they are also there to invent new products that may become global innovations. In addition, 16 evaluation centers are tasked with observing and listening to local consumers. Finally, some fifty scientific and technico-regulatory departments ensure compliance of the products with local regulations.

MYRIDE-Jim Perkins-1992 Jaguar SJ6
Once a commander in the Navy and an employee of UVA medical center, Jim Perkins now divides his time between Bank of America, where he works part time, and Sage Moon Gallery, which he and his wife own and operate. Perkins decided to purchase a Jaguar after noting the comfort and safety of his wife's.
Now, Perkins' restless spirit leads him to spend his leisure time on the move– in his 1992 Jaguar SJ6.
"We thought it would be fun to be a two-Jag family," he says. "We've always wanted to get luxury cars. This was just the right thing at the right time."
With leather seats and genuine burl wood paneling, Perkins' Jaguar makes every ride seem like a vacation for the supposedly "retired" Perkins.
"It just purrs," he says. "You can set it on cruise control and just relax."
Even under the stressful driving conditions of a long road trip, the sunroof and copious trunk and interior space make traveling a breeze.
Perkins attests that the Jag is a "smooth ride," but he admits that the car repair process is a little less smooth.
"The nearest real Jaguar dealer is in Richmond," he says.
Even though repairs to the Jag take him far and wide, Perkins claims that the price of his opulent automobile isn't as steep as one would think.
"People think Jaguars are pretty ritzy," he says. "The new ones are, but mine is used."

It is often difficult, especially in young children, to be entirely certain that asthma is the diagnosis. After a careful physical examination, your pediatrician will need to ask you specific questions about your child's health. The information you give your pediatrician will help determine if your child has asthma. Your pediatrician will need information about
It is very important that your pediatrician test your child's airway function. One way to do this is with a pulmonary function test using a device called a spirometer. This device measures the amount of air blown out of the lungs over time. Your pediatrician may also want to test your child's pulmonary function after giving her some asthma medication. This helps confirm that the blockage in the air passages that shows up on pulmonary function tests goes away with treatment.
Some children do not find relief from their symptoms even after using medications. If that is your child, your pediatrician may want to test your child for other conditions that can make asthma worse. These conditions include allergic rhinitis (hayfever), sinusitis (sinus infection), and gastroesophageal reflux disease (the process that causes heartburn).
It is important to remember that asthma is a complicated disease to diagnose, and the results of airway function testing may be normal even if your child has asthma. Also keep in mind that not all children with repeated episodes of wheezing have asthma. Some children are born with small lungs, and their air passages may get blocked by infections. As their lungs grow they no longer wheeze after an infection. This type of wheezing usually occurs in children without a family history of asthma and in children whose mothers smoked during pregnancy.

CL&P asked to buy generators, sell them to customers
RIDGEFIELD -- Ridgefield's first selectman is asking Connecticut's largest utility to help state residents buy small generators to keep the power on during major storms.
The New Times of Danbury reports that First Selectman Rudy Marconi asked Connecticut Light & Power to use its purchasing power to buy generators at a reduced price and sell them to customers.
He suggests that customers can pay an amount monthly to eventually own the generators.
Mitch Gross, spokesman for CL&P, said the proposal is worth consideration. He said the suggestion may be included in the utility's review of its work following Superstorm Sandy that pounded the Northeast last month.
Two other area first selectmen, Natalie Ketcham of Redding, and John Hodge of New Fairfield, back Marconi's idea.

Two new polls show Brown, Warren in tight race down to the wire
Two new polls released Sunday indicate a tight race between Senator Scott Brown, a Republican, and his challenger, Democrat Elizabeth Warren, with either candidate capable of pulling out a victory on Tuesday.
One of the polls, by the UMass Lowell Center for Public Opinion and the Boston Herald, showed Brown ahead by one percentage point, 49 percent to 48 percent. The second survey, by the Western New England University Polling Institute and the Springfield Republican newspaper, showed Warren leading Brown by four percentage points, 50 percent to 46 percent.
The UMass Lowell poll surveyed 956 Massachusetts registered voters between Wednesday and Saturday and has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.1 percentage points. The results showing Brown with a one-point lead were based on a sample of 800 voters who were deemed likely to vote.
The Western New England poll of 535 likely voters was conducted between Oct. 26 and Nov. 1 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.
In the presidential race, the UMass Lowell poll showed President Obama trouncing Mitt Romney in Massachusetts, with 57 percent of likely voters favoring Obama and 37 percent favoring Romney.
In the Senate race, seven of nine recent public polls have shown Warren with a lead of between two and seven percentage points. A poll taken by the Globe showed Brown with a two-point lead, or a tie when including voters who did not express an initial preference but said they were leaning toward one of the candidates. Many national political handicappers have given Warren the edge in recent weeks.
The previous Western New England University poll, taken Sept. 28 through Oct. 4, showed Warren leading 50 percent to 45 percent. In the last UMass Lowell poll, which was released Sept. 19, Brown had 49 percent support among likely voters, compared with 45 percent for Warren.
"What these campaigns do on the ground to get out the vote is likely to determine the winner,'' said Joshua Dyck, associate professor of political science and codirector of the UMass Lowell Center for Public Opinion, in a statement Sunday.

Chapter OneAttaining Radiant Health
One of the great secrets of a long, satisfying, and happy life, according to Eastern wisdom, is to focus on health instead of disease. This is the psychological basis of the art of radiant health. Develop the attitude of radiant health, and radiant health can be attained surprisingly easily. Once we have trained ourselves to focus on the attainment and maintenance of radiant health, and have acquired the tools for accomplishing our goal, the functions of the mind, body, and spirit can flourish. Once we have achieved a state of radiant health, the bodily functions cannot easily fall into disharmony, disease cannot readily arise, and, from the perspective of our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health, we are beyond most dangers. Radiant health is attainable by most people who have not already severely damaged themselves through abuse and wrong living. It is also attainable by many who have severely damaged themselves but have the will to regain true health. In life, it is sometimes necessary to hit a low point before we discover the motivation to work at attaining radiant health. Complete success takes determination, knowledge, discipline, and skill.
But we cannot do it by ourselves. We need help. Nature can provide that help. One of the ultimate sources of help from nature lies in the nutritional resources. The tonic herbs, being one of the richest sources of bionutrients, are used to promote overall well-being, to enhance the body's energy, and to regulate bodily and psychic functioning, resulting in radiant health.
Radiant health, the highest level of health a person can attain, is defined as "health beyond danger." In other words, the person is so internally strong and adaptive as to be able to adapt to virtually all normal stresses, as well as many extreme stresses, and is thus capable of overcoming most serious dangers. My teacher, Sung Jin Park, emphasized that protection is one of the primary characteristics of health, and the higher the level of protection the better. When one's protection has reached the stage of "health beyond danger," then one has achieved radiant health. There are many Chinese tonic herbs that strengthen the body's resistance. Thousands of active components in the various herbs influence the human immune system. In particular, the tonics are rich in substances that "modulate," or regulate, the immune system. Regular consumption of a major immune-modulating herb, or a collection of herbs with modulating capacity, gradually builds up a person's resistance. I have seen hundreds of people who were immune deficient and thus prone to chronic colds and other infections. After taking the tonics for several months, their immune systems showed tremendous improvement. After taking the herbs for a year or so, they became highly resistant to common colds and flus. People find it amazing. It's this kind of response to the herbs that makes me think that the tonics are really foods that the body requires. It seems that without the herbs, the immune system is underfed. With the herbs in the diet, the immune system flourishes. The combination of factors found in the tonic herbs makes them an indispensable nutritional requirement. They replenish Primal Essence, they provide the energy to adapt to the stresses in our environment, and they protect us. They can even strengthen our willpower. Radiant health is much more easily attainable if we are truly nourished, and these great tonic herbs provide a form of nourishment found only rarely in nature.
In Asia, longevity is universally regarded as one of life's primary goals. People do many things to assure their longevity. They work at an even pace, they eat three meals a day at very regular times, they exercise in a way that is believed to promote longevity, and so on. One of the measurements most often cited in determining the advanced state of a country is the average longevity of its citizens. The average life expectancy of a Japanese woman, for example, is eighty-six years. This is an astounding and wonderful achievement. It would do all of us well to start thinking about longevity as a virtue rather than an inevitable catastrophe. It is possible to live long and to live well. If youthfulness is so important (which it is to me), then we should attempt to maintain our youthful condition into old age. By watching our health and promoting our well-being on a steady basis, we can reach old age without undue suffering. This does not in any way have to mitigate the excitement of life. On the contrary, with energy, protection, and intelligence, our lives will ultimately turn out to be richer and more exciting. And then the latter years of our lives can be truly great if we are not suffering from various ailments. While we are still young, it is wise to seek radiant health so that we can live a long, healthy, exciting, and happy life.
Wisdom is something that can grow as we grow older, so we should seek to learn the underlying truths of life as we proceed through life. We in the West would do well to respect the wisdom of older souls who have seen and done more than we have and who have the wisdom to understand what has happened.
My wife, who is Chinese, was very surprised when she first came to America to find out that there is not a single real, universally recognized symbol for longevity in our culture. Our Western culture seems to downplay the beauty of achieving great longevity. Youth seems to be king here. Yet we all eventually come to realize that life is finite and that growing old in a state of radiant health is far superior to living fast, hard, and foolishly while we are young and then suffering intolerable illnesses when we reach middle age and beyond.
In China and other Eastern societies, there are many symbols of longevity. You find them everywhere in China, Japan, Korea, and Southeast Asia, and they are used in a multitude of settings. Interestingly, an herb now commonly used in Chinese tonic herbalism is the most widely used symbol of longevity-the Reishi mushroom. This mushroom is used in all Asian societies as a symbol of health, happiness, wisdom, and long life. It is a common symbol in the art of China and Korea.
The Reishi is in fact a true longevity herb. Though historically it has been a rare herb, it has in recent years become much more commonly available, thanks to modern horticultural technology. Hundreds of scientific studies have confirmed that Reishi can be used to build physical resistance to disease and to treat a wide range of ailments. Reishi has many benefits, including protection of the cardiovascular system and prevention and treatment of liver diseases and even certain forms of cancer. No wonder it became a symbol of longevity.
We are fortunate today to have herbs like the Reishi mushroom accessible to us. There are many other similarly beneficial herbs that were once rare but are now easily obtainable. It is unfortunate that most people in the West do not even know that these herbs exist. When consumed over a period of time, these herbs can profoundly enhance the performance of our bodies and minds and can help us attain both radiant health and longevity. When used properly, they are completely safe and have no side effects at all. They are far less expensive than modern medical procedures used to cure illnesses and can be obtained at a local herb shop or health food store or by mail order.
The Chinese call these tonic herbs "mild" because they are so safe and because they are not "druglike." They are not bolts of lightning, nor are they mind-altering in the same sense as we have come to think of drugs. But they are extremely powerful. When taken regularly for a period of time, we change. A whole host of functions tends to improve, we feel better and stronger, and we become more capable: more capable at work, more capable at home, more capable at play, more capable in bed, more capable in our art, more capable in every aspect of our lives. Our minds become clearer. We get more work done, and at a higher level. We look better and become more attractive.
The Chinese tonic herbs are so right for the age we live in. They are natural, they are effective, they are legal, and they are readily available. They can help us achieve what we want out of life. If we want energy, they can provide it. If we want willpower, they can help. If we need to relax, they can help us to calm down and loosen up. If we require endurance, they are truly effective. If we seek wisdom, they are a godsend. And if we want it all, why not? The Chinese tonic herbs are truly that good. Three thousand years of experience has proved that the Chinese tonic herbs are the virtual fountain of life.
The tonic herbs were considered by Daoist and Chan (Zen) Buddhist masters, who contributed heavily to the development of the art of tonic herbalism and to the art of radiant health, to be "spiritual growth herbs." The tonic herbs have been used for thousands of years by wise men and women and spiritual seekers to aid in their spiritual development. The herbs are not psychoactive substances like drugs. They are beyond that. Because they have profound regulatory functions that help the body-mind maintain its equilibrium even under extremely stressful circumstances, they are enormously useful in supporting our ability to overcome intense challenges and to learn from our experiences and thus to attain wisdom that might elude those less fortunate. The spiritual path is arduous and fraught with traps. And one of the biggest problems is that you may not even know when you are caught in a trap. The illusory nature of traps is legendary. Many spiritual seekers have used the superior herbs to clarify their awareness and put things in perspective. Ginseng, Reishi, and other similar herbs have played an enormous role in the spiritual world of Asia.
The psychic power bestowed upon us by taking these herbs need not be the exclusive possession of the spiritually minded. The adaptive energy provided by the tonic herbs helps those who are not specifically on a "spiritual path" in a similar way. For one thing, the tonics help people handle stress much more easily. Success in the modern world can often be measured by how well we can handle stress. Those who handle stress well generally move up in the world much more quickly, taking on greater challenges, heavier workloads, and more confrontation, and in general getting more done. Successfully overcoming obstacles is the truest way to grow in experience, knowledge, and wisdom-all very good things. It could easily be said that the motto of our age is: "He or she who can handle more stress most successfully wins!"
Resilience is a significant aspect of radiant health. It results from adaptability, and thus the concept of adaptability is central to the concept of radiant health.
The ability to adapt to the stresses of life is fundamental to life itself. Adaptability is the root of evolution and the secret to biological success. The more adaptable one is, the more flexibility and resiliency one will be capable of showing in one's life. Adaptability is inherent in all living creatures, and human beings are inherently one of the most adaptable creatures on earth. They have been able to adapt to virtually every climate. There are humans living in the most inhospitable climates: the hottest, driest desert; the hottest, dampest jungle; the coldest, most barren tundra. But humans are now creating a new, often artificial world that is in many ways a new challenge to their adaptive nature. Not only is the well-being of every individual now at stake, but the very survival of Homo sapiens and the majority of other species is at risk because of extreme changes in the ecosystem resulting from aggressive technological "advancement." It is not quite clear whether or not people are under more or less stress than they were in the past. Poverty, seasonal weather changes (without heating, insulation, or air conditioners), the hard work of acquiring food, war, pestilence, and so forth have always been stressful. Many of the stresses that our forefathers had to bear have been lessened by modern invention. What would we do without electricity, the modern toilet, the automobile, the telephone, the modern printing press, refrigeration, heating oil, grocery stores? On the other hand, life is so full of trivial pursuits and is so fast-paced that new stresses have arisen and we are being forced to adapt in new ways. Will we be able to adapt to the widening holes in the stratosphere? Will we be able to adapt to the carcinogens in our water, food, and air? Will we be able to adapt to artificial food? Will we be able to adapt to the constant bombardment of various forms of radiation?
A healthy person adapts easily to a wide range of "normal" stress factors, such as changes in the weather. But if for some reason we lose some of our ability to adapt, we can easily become imbalanced, and this often results in illness. And it is important to remember that an overreaction is just as dangerous as an underreaction. To be considered optimally adaptive, one must adapt precisely according to the degree of change.
If for some reason we lose the ability to adjust appropriately, sooner or later we fall prey to the forces of nature. In a desperate attempt to regain homeostasis, our bodies rely on backup methods of regaining balance. If these, too, are insufficient, severe symptoms arise, followed by death.
As the great endocrinologist Hans Selye has pointed out in his classic biomedical text, Stress: "Adaptability is probably the most distinctive characteristic of life. In maintaining the independence and individuality of natural units, none of the great forces on inanimate matter are as successful as that alertness and adaptability to change which we designate as life-and the loss of which is death. Indeed there is perhaps even a certain parallelism between the degree of aliveness and the extent of adaptability in every animal-and man." Selye postulated that there is some sort of intrinsic energy with which a person is born. He presented compelling evidence that it can be used slowly or quickly, but when it is all gone, we die. Adaptability is the very measure by which an Oriental master would judge the true health of an individual. The more adaptive an individual, and the more vigor with which one can meet the challenges of life, the greater that person's degree of health. The Daoist sages of China have taught that each of us is born with an intrinsic energy that determines our fundamental, constitutional strength. It is called Primal Essence, or jing. Jing is said to determine our potential life expectancy as well as the vitality of our life while we are living it.
Oriental sages say that it is easy to abuse and thus dissipate this jing with which we are born.

|Summary: Fast compression and decompression library
Snappy is a compression/decompression library. It does not aim for maximum compression, or compatibility with any other compression library; instead, it aims for very high speeds and reasonable compression. For instance, compared to the fastest mode of zlib, Snappy is an order of magnitude faster for most inputs, but the resulting compressed files are anywhere from 20% to 100% bigger.
