The Creator of the Intestinal Biopsy Disagrees with Most Gastroenterologists
Imagine being the 'father' of the intestinal biopsy and having your opinion ignored. It would be rather frustrating, not to mention heartbreaking, when your entire life's work was dedicated to helping individuals with celiac disease and gluten sensitivity.
A recent interview with Dr Michael Marsh, the founder of the Marsh Classification System of intestinal biopsy, revealed that Dr Marsh himself is in total disagreement with the standard utilized by gastroenterologists to determine whether a patient should be diagnosed with celiac disease and begin a gluten-free diet.
Is 'Waiting for' Complete Villous Atrophy Malpractice?
In a fascinating discussion led by Dr Thom O'Bryan from the Gluten eSummit, Dr Marsh revealed that he created his classification system in 1982 and in 1992 formally spoke out at an international conference, making it quite clear that to not recommend a gluten-free diet for a patient with positive blood work but a negative biopsy was a medico-legal situation in the making. Meaning that doctor who refused to recommend a gluten-free diet could be held accountable should that patient later develop severe nutritional deficiencies, osteoporosis or cancer, to name a few of the many possible negative scenarios.
Dr Marsh stated that he had met individuals in their 20s who were celiac but hadn't initiated a gluten-free diet and already, at their young age, had developed cancer.
He went on to cite the work of several other researchers:
- Dr Kaukinen from Finland who found antibodies (immune system reactions) to gluten a full 7 years before villous atrophy occurred.
- Dr Not who showed elevated fatty acid binding protein, substances that reveal cell death, when a biopsy was completely normal.
- Dr Ludvigsson who discovered increased mortality with those showing intestinal inflammation despite no change in the intestinal lining, a mortality rate that exceeded those WITH intestinal damage by 2x.
All these researchers have proven what traditional, current gastroenterologists seem to refuse to admit and that is that waiting for complete destruction of the lining of the small intestine is dangerous and even reckless for the patient.
Show THIS to Your Doctor
Have YOU been told that you don't have to stop eating gluten even though a blood test said otherwise because your biopsy was normal or not a Marsh 3 (meaning total villous atrophy)? If so, you were told wrong. And that is straight from the founder of the system himself!
Dr Marsh feels that all stages found in a biopsy should be taken seriously. And, the type of biopsy he recommends might interest you, especially if you've ever had one. He prefers rectal biopsies that require little to no 'down' time from work or daily activities.
When asked what percentage of the population fell into the 'at risk' stages of Marsh 1, 2 or 3, Dr Marsh stated a full 30%! 1% have Marsh 3, full villous atrophy, but 29%, in his opinion, fall within Marsh 1 or 2 meaning partial atrophy and therefore needful of a gluten-free diet. That's 30% of our population, a number I've been quoting for a long time...
The doctor also placed strong emphasis on noting that celiac disease and gluten sensitivity are not solely the domain of the small intestine, but in fact are also large intestinal diseases. This was great to hear from such an esteemed source, because I often am faulted when I mention that we have excellent success treating Crohn's disease or colitis by, in great part, removing gluten from the patient's diet. I've been chastised that such a treatment makes no sense when gluten doesn't affect the large intestine, but only the small intestine. Not being a researcher, all I could fall back on was my own and fellow doctors' experience here at HealthNOW - we DO see excellent results. It's nice to have Dr Michael Marsh's support in the area. He made it quite clear that gluten affects the mesenteric immune system and that is found in the intestines – both large and small.
Is Beer Okay? Really?
Does gluten-free mean no beer? You're thinking 'of course'. Me too. However Dr Marsh has always allowed his celiac patients to drink English beer. Despite being warm in temperature, is English beer any different than American beer? I truly have no idea, but Dr Marsh was quite adamant about the fact that he never saw any negative reactions in his beer drinking celiac patients. Please don't ask me for my opinion on this one yet – I'm going to have to do some pondering!
Celiac Blood Test Found Not to be Accurate
Lastly, Dr Marsh spoke out strongly against the tTG blood test – another 'gold standard' of celiac testing. While the test is 97 to 99% sensitive and specific within a patient who has a positive Marsh 3 biopsy, when it comes to those with partial atrophy, the test quickly gets a failing grade at only 27 to 33% accurate.
This is why I utilize the Cyrex Lab – I have no personal affiliation with this lab, I only recommend it because it's the most comprehensive testing currently available.
Help Me to Help More People- Spread the Word!
The bottom line is that celiac disease and gluten sensitivity are killing people – not the people who know and diligently follow their diet, but the people who don't know or the people who suspect but are erroneously being told by their doctor that they're 'fine' when they are not.
Let's spread the word! Show this post to your doctor. We'll start a dialogue and perhaps make some inroads into the proper and early diagnosis of these important conditions.

How To Replace Weatherstrip
Keep The Outside On The Outside Of '69-'70 Fastbacks With New Weatherstripping
When Ford redesigned the Mustang for 1969, it also redesigned the doors and windows. With each Mustang redesign has come fewer and fewer parts to both simplify vehicle assembly and improve cost per unit. Weatherstripping is no exception. There was less of it for '69-'70 along with improved sealing. Instead of parting the door and roof rail weatherstripping at the door's leading edge on top, Ford moved this annoying gap lower toward the door bottom to shut out wind noise and moisture. We're going to take you to Mustangs Etc's new shop in Southern California's San Fernando Valley to show you how professionals perform weatherstrip replacement and how you can achieve the same outstanding results.

Prince William and his wife, Kate Middleton, on Wednesday helped pack dozens of U.N. emergency supplies in Denmark to be distributed in East Africa, where a food shortage is affecting an estimated 13 million people.
The British royal couple visited a UNICEF warehouse in Copenhagen to draw attention to the crisis, which Middleton called "shocking." They were assisted by Denmark's Crown Prince Frederik and Australian-born Crown Princess Mary, who were married in 2004.
The United Nations says hundreds of thousands of Somalis, many fleeing fighting and drought in their home country, are especially at risk of starvation.
Prince William appealed for help and said the crisis had been going on for "at least 100 days now, and it's not getting any better."
"The rains have come now and ... that doesn't necessarily mean things are going to get better at all. In fact, disease becomes a huge issue," William said. "And so it's very much a case of anyone who can do anything to help, please do."
The royals were each assigned a packer inside the U.N. warehouse where they stacked medicine and basic emergency medical supplies in cardboard boxes on conveyor belts. Later in the day, the cargo was to be flown to the Kenyan capital, Nairobi.
Before helping in the packing, William and his wife were treated to lunch at the Amalienborg Palace, home of the Danish royals. They were also briefed on nutrition and watched a video on the East Africa situation.
"It's really just how shocking the situation still is," said Middleton, who bears the title Duchess of Cambridge. "A huge amount still has to happen with hundreds of children still malnourished at the moment."
The UNICEF supply division in the Danish capital coordinates the distribution of emergency food and medical supplies worldwide, including nutritional treatments for some 320,000 severely malnourished children in East Africa.
Established in 1962, the 270,000-square-foot (25,000-square-meter) storehouse has its own loading port. Supplies include 30 different prepackaged kits, which are usually transported by ship, although aircraft are used in emergencies including volcanoes, earthquakes, civil unrest, tsunamis and wars.
The visit to Denmark is the British royal couple's first overseas trip since a lengthy sojourn to Canada and the United States during the summer.
Africa has been of special interest to William, who has traveled there many times. He proposed to Middletonwhile on vacation in Kenya in 2010.

Monterey Park's fire chief said during a news conference on Thursday that he had never seen an accident the magnitude of Wednesday's crash that left 15 people hurt when two fire trucks plowed into a restaurant.
"Ninety-nine percent of the time ... we don't have anything like this occur," said Monterey Park Fire Chief Jim Birrell.
Lu's Dumpling House owner Vivian Lu said a man was on the sidewalk when the 40,000-pound fire engine jumped the curb, pushing him as it slammed through her restaurant near Garfield and Emerson avenues about 3:25 p.m.
U.S. & World
When the fire truck came to a stop, a man was found pinned beneath it.
Cellphone video captured the moment when a firefighter attempted to help the man under the front bumper of the engine. The victim was believed to be hospitalized in critical condition.
"A lot blood," Lu said. "I see a lot blood."
Lu said the impact of the crash also pushed a built-in cashier's table across the floor, sending a waitress into a wall and making the building unstable.
Six firefighters suffered minor to moderate injuries, and eight other people had minor injuries. One person was in critical condition. A total of 15 people were hurt.
"I see a few people sitting on the street and all this blood," Lu said.
The crash happened down the street from Garfield Medical Center, where many of the victims were being taken on foot by firefighters.
The crash occurred when a fire truck and a fire engine crashed while responding to a house on fire. Both trucks were blaring sirens and running lights, one truck from Montery Park Fire Department and the other from the Alhambra Fire Department. All firefighters on board were wearing ear protecting headsets to dampen the sirens noise.
"It is ear protection from the noise of your own sirens so they do diminish the sound from outside," Alhambra Fire Department Chief Bill Walker said.
Neighbors ended up helping put out the house fire that both departments were responding to at the time of the crash.

"VPP" is the latest electricity-system-of-the-future phrase in the expanding smart-grid lexicon. Virtual power plants (VPP) are the latest concept promising to improve distribution-system reliability and, possibly, to limit the need for new peak-period generating capacity, enabled by improved communications and response technologies.
As the word "virtual" implies, this vocabulary addition refers to power resources accessed through software, instead of physical generating facilities. These resources may be in the form of a rooftop solar panel, a garaged electric vehicle's battery or the ability to take designated customer equipment offline to reduce system demand. Developers now are testing ways to combine both supply and demand options for rapid response to changing power requirements.
"A virtual power plant combines elements of demand response and distributed generation in a way that allows them to be dispatched as if they were another power plant," said John Simmins, a senior project manager with the Electric Power Research Institute, a group leading a number of VPP demonstration projects. "It doesn't matter if you're reducing capacity or adding it. It all results in the same thing."
Like the phrase "smart grid," the meaning of VPP can vary, according to Peter Asmus, senior analyst with Pike Research, an energy-technology research and consulting firm. In Europe, especially in Germany, VPPs are focused primarily on the supply side of the energy-delivery equation, he said. There, Siemens is a major player, initiating VPP efforts by tying together the output of nine smaller hydroelectric operations as though these distributed resources were a single power plant. Currently, Asmus said, the company is harnessing the output of approximately 30 different renewable-energy installations scattered throughout Germany to create an even larger scale VPP.
In the United States, VPP plans have targeted demand-response options.
"You're basically just aggregating demand reduction," he said.
Through research, some major industry groups are looking to combine both demand and supply-side options, along with energy storage, to create what VPP developers call a "mixed-asset" power plant.
The advantages of mixed-asset designs at the local distribution level are pretty obvious. At periods of peak demand, the utility could rapidly send signals to participating customers' equipment to reduce demand. The company also then could tap into customer-side supply resources, such as the batteries in connected electric vehicles, to gain the marginal amount of power needed to stabilize grid operations. The temporary additional supply would cost considerably less than the electricity the utility would otherwise have to purchase.
Billions and billions
Regardless of the configuration, VPPs are becoming a big business. Global VPP revenues reached $5.2 billion in 2010, according to Pike Research, which expects it to hit at least $7.4 billion—possibly as high as $12.7 billion—by 2015. Capacity could rise to 67.5 gigawatts (GW) during that time, from the 2009 global total of 19.4 GW.
One reason for this potential growth is the effect VPPs could have on utility efforts to boost distribution-system reliability. According to Simmins, New York City's Con Edison is reaching out to commercial customers with generating capacity, renewable or otherwise to see if VPPs are a viable alternative to conventional backup substation-transformer designs.
A substation site in Queens designed with "N+1" redundancy is the basis of a pilot effort that is testing such a strategy; that is, a backup transformer is in place and ready to come online should any of the site's other three transformers fail. The utility, backed by a Department of Energy grant, is investigating whether distributed generation and demand-response resources could be pooled to keep the distribution system running if a second transformer failed, called "N+2" redundancy.
Such a capability could prove invaluable in New York's congested and expensive real estate environment, saving much more than just the cost of additional transformer equipment. For example, adding a second backup transformer could require a larger site, and costly infrastructure improvements would be needed. Creating the same capability with software and algorithms could mean big savings for utilities and their ratepayers.
Balancing act
Operators of regional transmission systems also are interested in new power resources of the virtual variety. As the overseers of networks supported by multiple generation sources, system operators face the challenge of maintaining power quality, for example, ensuring electricity is delivered at a steady 60-hertz (Hz) frequency over great distances. Doing so can require operators to call on generators to add or drop generation to the broader system in a process called regulation.
According to Chantal Hendrzak, general manager of applied solutions, PJM Interconnection, the regulation market is small—about 1 percent of PJM's total load—but expensive. Generation companies bid to participate, turning control of a plant over to PJM, which can pulse generated electricity into the transmission system to maintain 60-Hz performance.
System-regulation needs are greatest at night, when demand is low, but generation plants are still active. In fact, wind turbines are most productive at night. Hendrzak said a new and potentially widespread resource, electric vehicle batteries, could provide an alternative to large, centralized generating plants for grid-balancing needs during such off-peak periods. Previously, systems like PJM's weren't capable of addressing such small loads, but with addressability now down to as little as 100 kilowatts, virtual power plants composed of a collection of individual homes could help meet regulation demands.
PJM's interest in this topic is important because of its ranking as the world's largest competitive wholesale electricity market, with more than 54 million customers, according to its figures. As a regional transmission organization, it coordinates the purchase and movement of electricity over transmission lines in all or part of 13 states and the District of Columbia. It is not a utility or generating company itself, but it has the capability to control generator operations, depending on the agreements with those facilities' operators.
In a VPP scenario, PJM could have similar control agreements with the owners of both on-site generating equipment and building owners who are able to curtail their demand quickly. The group has pilot projects underway to test both equipment responsiveness to PJM signals and bottom-line business cases. And, recognizing the potential of new electric vehicles, PJM also is working with standards groups to help incorporate communications and controls into developing technologies.
"We're really engaged with the Society of Automotive Engineers because we want to talk with them about managed charging and what it means to integrate with the grid," Hendrzak said.
Many of the technology hurdles, including issues involved in connecting renewables and energy-storage devices to the grid, have been crossed, she said. However, bringing these various technologies together poses challenges today.
"Batteries are old technology; so is solar," she said, adding that VPPs, however, require software-based optimization engines and algorithms to evaluate the combinations of generation and demand response best suited to meet current grid needs.
Policies and pricing
Beyond the required technologies, VPP developers also are investigating the policies and pricing questions these new virtual resources could raise. After all, when it comes to electricity, the word "regulation" has two meanings, and the policies that regulate electricity pricing will require just as much attention if VPPs are to become more common as all those algorithms.
"In some ways, you can create this right now; a lot of it is not technology-based, but regulatory," Asmus said, noting the complicating factors facing utilities and public utilities commissions must face before bringing VPPs to market. He cited just a couple of the bigger questions all parties will need to answer: How will you get paid? How will you bill?
The billing and payment questions will become very complex very quickly, especially if utilities start reaching down to individual homeowners to build out their VPP networks. Smart meters will help managers track residential contributions, but deployment of these intelligent devices now is under fire in some regions, Asmus said. Some of his sources have suggested customer pushback in California and other areas may have delayed VPP development by as much as a year.
PJM is pursuing answers to these questions, as well. As a marketplace, PJM is constantly monitoring demand across its network and making estimates of immediate and future electricity needs. It sends signals out to electricity suppliers for bids to meet those needs, and those vendors might be VPP operators capable of aggregating demand and supply resources. Hendrzak said future success in these efforts depends on addressing a range of hypothetical questions today.
One such query from a VPP supplier might be, "If I go and sell my automated demand response to buildings or businesses, where will I make money?" PJM has historical data that can provide direction. PJM, itself, might need to consider variable reimbursement rates for some VPP configurations, such as those including rapidly evolving energy-storage devices.
"They are increasingly responsive, so we're looking at should we be paying more for higher performance?" she said.
And, like Asmus, Hendrzak said some of the biggest questions target current rate schedules for residential customers. This means working with state public utility commissions and local distribution companies to develop time-of-use pricing programs to tie retail electricity costs to actual market conditions, so you get the right incentives from virtual power plants down to the retail customer.
As Hendrzak said, these users now pay flat rates, regardless of overall grid-demand conditions.
"If we can get more transparency down to the virtual power plants, we will give them the price signals that will be a benefit to the grid and a benefit to the customer," Hendrzak said.

Research Interests
My research focuses on the geoarchaeological investigation of archaeological site formation. I view and analyze sediments, deposits and features as archives of paleoenvironments as well as of human behavior and I study these archives with geoarchaeological means. My main research techniques are micromorphology and (m)FTIR, but I am always interested in expanding my geoarchaeological tool kit with supplementary methods and collaborations. I collaborate with geoarchaeologists performing optically-stimulated luminescence, thermoluminescence and U-series dating, organic petrology, ancient DNA analysis, speleothem analysis, isotopes and chemical analysis.
My archaeological scope is broad with a focus on Hunter Gather sites ranging from the Lower Paleolithic (Bilzingsleben, Schöningen), to Middle, Upper and transitional sites (Ein Qashish, Resava Project, TDASP Project, Satsurblia, Grabow) as well as Middle and Later Stone Age sites in South Africa (Varsche Rivier 003, Mertenhof, Klipfonteinrand, Faraoskop). I am also curious about the geoarchaeological signature of early sedentary life in the Epipaleolithic (Baaz) and early urbanization (Teotihuacan).
I am particularly interested in the following three research areas:
(1) site formation
(2) sediments as artifacts and
(3) human-environment-interactions.
(1) Site formation. The reconstruction of cultural, natural and post-depositional site formation processes constitutes the basis of my research. I am mainly concerned with the sedimentary context and the integrity of the archaeological record here.
(2) Sediments as artifacts. Archaeological deposits and features are artifacts, created by human activities and my research is mainly concerned with two artifact categories, construction materials and combustion features. I analyze construction materials, such as floor constructions, to investigate economy and settlement patterns. Regarding combustion features, I am interested in the role fire that played in our evolutionary history. More specifically, I am exploring to what extent combustion features, site maintenance activities and sedimentation can inform us on occupation intensity and, in extension, on mobility and demography.
(3) Human-environment-interactions. I am interested in the question of how and to what extent past environments shaped human behavior and how we can reconstruct their complex interaction. My starting point for this is the microstratigraphic study of archaeological deposits, which preserve evidence for both categories and also link the two. From there I continue to the landscape scale, using speleothems and paleosols as paleoenvironmental archives.

"You've got to train for life. Well, anyway, the best thing I've ever done in my whole life and the thing that's pleased me the most is my Corvettes."-Jack LaLanne with VETTE (December 2006)
Jack LaLanne is America's oldest and most loved fitness expert. He opened the first modern health spa in America in 1936 and brought physical fitness to national TV in 1951. His inventions include the first weight pulley machines using cables, the first weight selectors, and the first leg-extension machine. He was the first fitness trainer to have women work with weights, and he encouraged the disabled and elderly to exercise for their own health. But there's something you probably don't know about Jack LaLanne.
His passion has always been fast cars-the faster, the better. In-between his fitness routines and motivational talks across the United States, Jack gets behind the wheel of his fourth Corvette, an '05 coupe. Yes, you read that right: Jack LaLanne, at 92 years young, is the proud owner of America's premier 400hp supercar. Figuring he was the oldest Corvette-owning celebrity alive, we asked him for an interview. Somewhat surprisingly, he agreed.
You see, Jack LaLanne is a top-rated celebrity. If you're old enough to remember black-and-white TV, you likely saw him every week on The Jack LaLanne Show. Even through the '80s, Jack was often seen with his famous smile, friendly tone, and inspiring personality, getting people off their couches and onto their living room floors for sit-ups, push-ups, and leg lunges.
More recently, Jack has promoted longevity with infomercials for his Jack LaLanne Power Juicer. He's an inventor, a seminar speaker, and a hero to many. He spoke with us last December from his company's office in Morro Bay, California.
"We've never been busier," Jack told us, describing his life with his wife and partner of 54 years, Elaine. "We've never been more successful in our lives than we are today. Everybody wants my lecture seminars, and man, we go, go, go. We're hardly ever home."
When Jack is home, he enjoys driving and posing for photographs with his C6. The car is finished in Magnetic Red Metallic over Ebony leather and is equipped with a four-speed automatic transmission. Jack tells us he enjoys manually shifting through the gears one redline visit after another. You see, he isn't a newcomer to performance. He loves how the Corvette accelerates, corners, steers, and generally outperforms every other car he's ever owned.
We started the interview this way:
VETTE Magazine: Mr. LaLanne?
Jack LaLanne: Mr. LaLanne couldn't make it. Jack came instead.
VM: What may we ask you?
JL: Anything. My life's an open book.
So we began asking Jack about his love affair with the Corvette. He told us it goes all the way back to 1953 and the car's introduction. He's owned four Vettes since, including a '53 roadster, a '97 LS1 coupe, and his current LS2 '05 coupe. Jack made sure we understood that the Corvette has always been a part of his life.
"I love the Corvette. I had the first one that ever came out. I think it was a '53. The first one. And man, it was something."
We had to calculate how long ago that was: 54 years. That sounds like a long time until one realizes Jack has been driving for 80 years. To us, that's a serious accomplishment. To Jack, it was another day of living with his cardinal rule: "If I can't please Jack LaLanne, then I'm a failure. What the hell are you going to be successful [at] if you can't please yourself?"
By 1953, Jack LaLanne had already been on TV for two years, bringing exercise into American homes. He drove his Corvette every day to the studio where his show was produced. "Oh, yeah, wherever I went, it went with me. Well, you know the people were talking about it, and I liked the looks of it. It was a sporty car," Jack told us.
We asked him what people thought of the '53 Corvette at the time. After all, it's easy today-five model-generations later-to take the very first Corvette for granted. To many, the car was merely a part of history. To Jack, it marked a proud moment in his career. "Well, it was a conversation piece," he told us. "You know, they were so different."
But alterity wasn't the early Vette's only defining trait. "The Corvette's always had a great name. Say 'Corvette' and everybody thinks of something really different and really fast and sporty."
We saw instantly the connection between Jack LaLanne and the Corvette. Both have the best physiques in the business. Both are household names. Both outperform the competition-not that there is any. With that in mind, we asked Jack if he preferred Corvettes for their well-sculpted bodies or their track-honed performance. "Oh, it's both," he laughed. "I like the way they look. They're different. You know, how many cars out there look like Corvettes?"
"Not too many," we agreed.Jack continued talking, "You want something nobody else has. You don't want an old look-alike thing, and that's why Corvettes have the reputation of being one of the fastest cars. For the money, honey, how can you beat a Corvette?"
We weren't going to argue with Jack LaLanne. After all, at 92, he could whip the VETTE editorial staff with both hands tied behind his back. We read Jack's biography. This is a man who set a world record of 1,033 push-ups in 23 minutes and later "commemorated the 'Spirit of '76' by swimming 1 mile in Long Beach Harbor, handcuffed, shackled, and towing 13 boats (representing the 13 original colonies) containing 76 people."
Jack has had every car imaginable, and he told us why the Corvette is still the best vehicle ever made. "You buy a Lamborghini or a Ferrari-one of those cars, they'll cost a couple hundred thousand [dollars], and they don't do much better than a Corvette. I've always had good cars, and a Corvette is one of the [best] cars I've had. I've had Lamborghinis, I've had Ferraris, I've had Stutz Blackhawks. You name it, I've had them. What did I spend on my Vette? Sixty grand? For the money, Corvette is tops."
We asked Jack what kind of exotic steel-skinned beauties he dreamed about well before the Corvette was envisioned as well as the earliest automobiles he could recall. "I've always dreamed about sports cars. Always . . . something sporty, something different. The first car I had was a Model T. You pushed it up the hill with your feet. Yeah, you know, you had to crank the thing and all that crap. I'll never forget getting in it. And then we had a '24 Chevrolet. I'll never forget that. The damn car stalled. We were taking a trip with my family and my brother told me-I was just a kid-told me to go out and crank it. So I cranked the damn thing, and it kicked and broke my arm."
Jack has recently moved up to a C6 from his '97 C5, and we had to know what he thought about the Corvette's newest generation of technology. He answered, "How can they improve on it? The way it handles, the way it drives, the acceleration it has-I had it 160 miles per hour on the little road that goes in front of our house here [laughter]."
A hundred and sixty miles per hour? Who's going to tell Jack LaLanne it's time to slow down? Not us.
Jack still lives the life he preaches. "I work out two hours a day, seven days a week-an hour-and-a-half of weights, another half-hour in the pool. And I change my program every 30 days to do something different. You know, because you get bored doing the same thing every day. Your body doesn't respond. You get bored. Your muscles know nothing. It's your brain, right? Exercise is something you've got to do the rest of your life. It's a lifestyle. I tell people, dying's easy. Living's a pain in the neck. You've got to work at it."
Jack keeps his youthful stamina going with body workouts and working out his Corvette. To him, it is the ultimate fun. He told us, "The Corvette is the little boy in me. You know, it's like a toy. I just love it."
Our conversation eventually turned to the subject of Jack LaLanne and motorsports. We were surprised to hear that this avid lover of life had never strapped on a Simpson five-point harness, protected his noggin under a Bell Racing safety helmet, climbed under a rollbar, and throttled at full force down an asphalt track with three tree lights beckoning his launch. Here is an excerpt:
VM: Jack, have you ever raced a sanctioned event?
JL: No.
VM: Never done a quarter-mile?
JL: I'd love to.
VM: If someone invited you, would you come out and do it?
JL: My wife would divorce me.
VM: Oh, come on.
JL: (Impersonating his wife) "What happened to you, Jack? Oh, my." My wife is my protector.
VM: I see.
JL: Without her, I'm nothing.
VM: If we invited you to a racetrack, do you think she'd let you come?
JL: Sure. She wants to please me, and I want to please her. We've been together over 53 years.
VM: We'd like to see you behind the wheel of a fast Corvette.
JL: I've always liked fast cars ... (pause) ... and slow women.
VM: Do you want us to keep laughing or ask the next question?
JL: Ask the next question.
VM: You really like Corvettes, don't you?
JL: If you don't like Corvettes, you don't like sex and money.
Our conversation turned back to Jack's love for street-driven Corvettes. We asked, "Do you think your new Corvette is the best Corvette you've ever owned?"
Jack answered without hesitation. He was as knowledgeable as the best Corvette salesman, and he knew it. "Oh, no doubt about it. You know what I like about it is the [ride] control. Corvettes have always had a stiff ride. Now you just push that little button, you know, and you get like a passenger-car ride. And you push the button [again], and you get like a race car. I mean they've thought of everything-all the interior and all the instruments, you can see them, they're so visible, and I don't know how you can improve upon it."
We continued with more questions. An interview with Jack LaLanne is a once-in-a-lifetime thrill, after all, even for a group as jaded as the VETTE editorial staff. "Jack, what exercises do you recommend for Corvette drivers, when they are driving and to make sure they can enjoy their driving?"
Now we were on Jack's home turf. He started sounding like the TV star we know he is. "The number-one thing is straighten up in your seat," he said. "Pull your gut in and breathe deep. Take a lot of deep breaths and everything. That keeps you awake. Too many [people] sit in a car and they slump. People should straighten up, you know, and be sure your posture is good."
VM: Jack, can you lift a 3,179-pound Corvette right off the ground?
JL: I've never tried it.
VM: We know that for one of your birthdays
JL: On one of my birthdays I did 1,000 chin-ups and 1,000 push-ups. For my 70th birthday I towed 70 boats with 70 people in it, my feet and hands tied-my hands were in handcuffs, my feet were tied together-and I towed these boats a mile-and-a-half in Long Beach [Harbor]. Man, that was a stinker. For my 93rd birthday coming up, I'm going to tow my wife across the bathtub.
We were laughing so hard at this point, it was difficult to ask the next serious question. Still, Jack heard it as a kairos. It was a deciding moment in our conversation. And so we asked: "Some people say there's an age that's too young to own a Corvette, and some people say there's an age that's too old to own a Corvette. What's your answer, Jack?"
We could hear him taking on a more personal tone. It was as if his words were going out to every Corvette owner in the world. "Be young. Keep yourself young by having a good, sporty car like a Corvette. It keeps you on your toes. It keeps you young. It keeps you thinking young. It keeps you thinking modern and good things. Corvette is a modern, modern automobile."
We had one last question before our interview concluded. "Jack, what message do you want Corvette owners to know from Jack LaLanne personally?"
Even 2,700 miles away, we could hear a smile well up in his voice. "Just be proud of that car and take good care of it. Make sure you change the oil and you keep it shined and keep it clean all the time. To me, that's your personal property. That's part of you. Be proud of the Corvette, and it will do things for you."
The world sees many winners. We are pleased to have shared time with one of the best.
We'd like to thank Liz Cardenas of Befit Enterprises for coordinating our interview; Jack's wife, Elaine LaLanne, for her help in the interview; and Jack himself for sharing his love of Corvettes with VETTE readers.

I was having trouble all morning at work on high-speed broadband.
At home I use dial-up with Netscape accelerator and I've noticed it being just a hair slower than I'm used to, but that could be high traffic as well.
Since the upgrade, we have noticed many mentioning slower loading times. We've been working on things to determine what's causing it and we're slowly getting to it, via process of elimination. Another small change was made late this afternoon which we hope speeds things up, especially for you dial-up users.
If you continue to have issues with the forum/site loading, please reply with your issues here as well as any questions you may have. If you've noticed improvements as of this afternoon, we would appreciate you making note of that as well as that'll help us pinpoint the cause of this. Thanks again for all your support...

I was having trouble all morning at work on high-speed broadband.
At home I use dial-up with Netscape accelerator and I've noticed it being just a hair slower than I'm used to, but that could be high traffic as well.
I've noticed something else too I've been wanting to mention:
After posting thumbnails and seeing the post, if you click on the thumbnail to see the full size image, the photo has some distortions in it.
Just for kicks and grins I wanted to test the download speed of photos so I went back to one of my own photos of an AK that I posted to an old thread. Since I have the photo on CD, I know it's perfect.
I clicked on it just to see how fast it would load with the changes you guys have been making.
It didn't seem any faster, but I did notice some distortions: the cleaning rod looked "wavy" and the buttstock looked "hairy."
Since it's my rifle and a photo I posted I know it's not my photo. After that, I began looking at other thumbnails and their full size photos, and some of them look distorted, too. This only started happening after the site took on its new layout.
Just thought I'd mention it.
Ups and downs. Mostly good all day. Highspeed here. Between about 1930 and 2030 hours it was really bad. Now it seems back to normal speeds. FWIW
Above all, we must realize that no arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women. It is a weapon our adversaries in today's world do not have. -Ronald Reagan
Mine seems to be running fine. I didn't get on here until after 5pm so I can't give you a comparison other than it does seem faster than it has for a while.
You only have the rights you are willing to fight for.I Like 1911's.
I have noticed a bunch of red Xs where pictures used to be.

After I sobbed my way through "The Soloist" last night, I had one dominating thought -- I wish I had rented a comedy!
The homelessness, the mental illness, the sense of great potential unfulfilled and families torn apart -- it is almost impossible not to be distracted by the pain. Yet this is not theme of the movie.
By now mostly everyone is probably familiar with the story line: LA Times reporter Steve Lopez, trying to stay afloat amidst a struggling newspaper and a challenging personal life, happens upon a homeless man, Nathaniel Ayers, trying to play a broken violin in the shadow of a statue of Beethoven. Discovering the Ayers was a former student at Juilliard, Lopez scents a story.
Ayers teaches Lopez what friendship really means.
But it is only later – much later – that he creates a friendship. Or perhaps, to put it more accurately, Ayers and the inhabitants of his world (a frightening subculture of the frequently psychotic homeless) teach him what friendship really means.
The message is actually similar to that of the obviously fictional and fantastically successful musical "Wicked." Elphaba, the so-called "wicked witch," really tries to help other people -- and animals. She assumes that she knows what's best for them and works her magic accordingly. In the end, all those she tried to help despise her. In her efforts at rescue, she has actually limited and trapped them. She has prevented them from making their own choices, from achieving their own potential.
Perhaps we would have relegated this idea to the category of song were it not for Steve Lopez's experiences.
He appears to make the same mistakes as Elphaba. Despite what Ayers tells him, despite what those with experience on Skid row tell him, Lopez is determined to fix Ayers -- in the way that he, Lopez, deems best.
He wants to get Ayers an apartment, cello lessons, medication, an opportunity to perform in concert...Most of his efforts backfire and his anger and frustration are palpable. As is that of Ayers.
What makes the movie powerful, what transforms the story, is the choice that Lopez finally makes – to accept Ayers on his own terms, to treat him as a valuable human being without imposing any conditions.
Lopez is able to recognize and appreciate the goodness in Ayers and forges a relationship with him without any ulterior motives. That is friendship. That is powerful. It is no longer noblesse oblige – or the way to revive a stagnant newspaper career. Lopez has learned the essence of true relationships and made a new friend.

This Blog is for players and collectors of traditional War Games. It provides information and commentary about older board games from publishers such as TAHGC, SPI, and GDW. Most of the titles discussed here are out of print and available only in the resale market. Still, I hope that the various posts, game descriptions, book reviews, critiques, and other hobby-related material that I present are of interest to those players who still appreciate and play some of the older "classic" games.
Labels: board simulations, comment, KURSK, SPI
For my first series of posts, I have decided to offer a few thoughts on one of SPI's really old titles: KURSK. While my personal gaming interests run the gamut from Napoleonic to modern games, this title was one of my early favorites. And besides, I am presently in an "East Front" frame of mind. For those readers who are already familiar with this old SPI "classic," I hope that you find these comments interesting; for those who are not familiar with this game, I hope that this post sparks a bit of interest in both the actual battle, and the game.

"Dancing with the Stars" judge Carrie Ann Inaba wants Lindsay Lohan to compete in the ballroom, but she's not so hot on the actress' mom, Dina Lohan, going after the mirrorball trophy.
"I've been the biggest proponent for Lindsay Lohan being on our show," the judge told Access Hollywood on Wednesday. "Since all her troubles started, I think people have asked."

U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Earlier this week, Dina told Radar Online that Lindsay was approached to compete on the ABC series, but turned it down.
Carrie Ann feels the "Dancing" regime would do wonders for the actress, who is currently seeking treatment for addiction at the Betty Ford Center.

"She would do so well on our show because she's a beautiful girl, she's very talented. If you look back at her body of work a long time ago, she just had this great energy," Carrie Ann continued. "Doing something like 'Dancing with the Stars' would be a great come back for her. Look at what it does for people's careers, not to mention the grueling schedule. It teaches you discipline and it teaches you confidence. It teaches you a lot of wonderful things."
Adding, "I would love to have her on the show, when she's ready only."
As for Dina possibly competing, Carrie Ann would only like to see her on "Dancing" if Lindsay was involved.

"It would be interesting if they were both on at the same time, because we never had a mother [and] daughter compete," she told Access. "But, I don't know if I want to see Dina alone, separate from Lindsay. I'd like to see Lindsay."

The shower trays in the Futurion Flat collection are made from Quaryl®. In comparison to the standard Futurion collection, they feature an extremely flat and linear design, with no rounded inner edges on the sides. They are elegant, modern and timelessly beautiful. Fitted flush with the floor, they allow very easy level entry while the larger models improve accessibility in the bathroom.
A new interpretation of the traditional square shower: the rectangular shower tray. Installed flush against the bathroom wall or in a corner, a rectangular shower tray is an ideal choice even for narrow bathrooms. Rectangular shower trays provide lots of room lengthwise and appear more spacious than their square counterparts - perfect for relaxing spa moments in your own bathroom.
Flush-fitted shower trays are installed level with the bathroom floor, creating a harmonious, modern and spacious effect even in small bathrooms. Besides being a design highlight, a floor-level shower also offers practical benefits: it allows easier entry, while larger shower tray models provide improved accessibility, making them suitable for all life situations.
Surface-mounted shower trays have a rim of 2-4 cm and can be installed easily even in bathrooms with low floor depths. The low rim ensures no distraction from the open feeling in the room, while clearly differentiating the shower area from the rest of the bathroom. The shower tray is not quite flush-fitting, but its very flat design allows safer and more comfortable entry.
Shower trays on a pedestal or plinth are suitable for any bathroom and are available in a very wide range of models. Pedestal shower trays are ideal for bathrooms with a low floor depth as the water outlet can be located directly in the base of the shower tray. The pedestal blends harmoniously with the overall effect of the bathroom and opens up options for individual design - find your favourite model.
Quaryl® is an innovative material from Villeroy & Boch, consisting of quartz and acrylic, that opens up almost limitless design scope - whether creative shapes or linear effects. Our Quaryl® whirlpool tubs, shower trays and baths are completely stable and resistant to impacts and scratches. The non-porous, easy-clean, anti-slip surface also feels gentle against the skin - a perfect choice for your spa bathroom.
White is a classic colour for bathroom sanitary fittings. However, for all those in search of a different look or very harmonious bathroom design, Villeroy & Boch offers a variety of colour shower trays. Depending on the model, these shower trays are available in a selection of matt or gloss colours and patterns - perfect for creating highlights and adding and a stylish individual note to the bathroom!

Map: The percentage of people deported after being detained by immigration authorities
By Steve Timko
The Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse took a two-month snapshot of people detained by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and looked at how they were released. It showed Nevada has one of the nation's higher rates for deporting people under threat of criminal prosecution if they return, what the federal government calls removal. Not all states had enough people detained to give statistically significant figures. These figures are for ICE detention last November and December. ICE has noted there are several variables that can affect the outcome of an immigration case and how long it is in immigration court. This could include criminal and immigration history and court workload. Undocumented aliens can be released from custody in a variety of ways. According to the TRAC study, the most common way is to be deported, followed by bonding out and being released on their own recognizance. People who bond out or get an O.R. release can still be removed later.

Stephen H. Rowland
Stephen H. Rowland, lovingly known as Roller, 70 years of age and Nina M. Rowland, lovingly known as Nee Nee, 57 years of age, longtime residents of rural Muscoda passed away together Friday, November 9, 2012 north of Richland Center due to a tragic automobile accident.
Stephen was born October 20, 1942 to Neal and Christine (Metropolis) Rowland in Chicago, Illinois. He was the oldest of three children. He graduated from William A. Wirt High School and continued his education at Indiana University. Having grown up among family and friends with a passion for learning he continued his search for knowledge even until his passing being currently enrolled in classes at UW-Richland. Stephen was a successful Steam Fitter, recently retired so he could enjoy his favorite pass times of cycling, skiing, reading, listening to music and spending time with his friends and family. He had a special affection for the southwest. Stephen was known for his quick and dry wit and could always bring a smile to your face. He had an infectious laugh which will linger in all of us. Stephen will be greatly missed and his friends and family will continue to share stories to keep his memory alive.
Stephen and Nina are survived by his three children; Jason Rowland (Jacqueline) of Indianapolis, IN, Ericka (Russell) Hillery (Jason) of Ridgeway, WI, Robert Rowland-Russell (Jennifer) of Madison, WI and his three grandchildren; Jacob and Jianna Rowland and Marlee Hillery.
Stephen is survived by his sisters Katherine (Rowland) Thrower (John) and Stacy (Rowland) Schwarz both of Gila, NM and was preceded in death by his grandparents and parents.
Nina was born October 12, 1955 to Daniel and Helarn (Otto) Mauro in New Brunswik, New Jersery. She was the youngest of six children. She graduated from Broad Ripple High School. Nina was a successful RN and longtime caregiver for Herman B. Wells, retired President of Indiana University and countless others over the years. Bringing joy and healing to others was her passion. Nina was also employed by Lands' End for several years. Nina was a fabulous cook and enjoyed shopping, reading and listening to music. Nina loved all things nature, plants and animals were another passion. She loved her sheep and beagles Buddy and Missy. Nina always had a full schedule of house and pet sitting and was very committed to the local Humane Society. Nina's grandchildren, nieces and nephews were the light of her life. Seeing photos of them and their little ones would put a twinkle in her eye and a smile on her face. Her kindness and sweet cards and letters were always cherished. Even though she was the youngest, she was the one that worked hard to keep a large family of thirty-some connected. Only through Nina was the family able to keep in touch with Iowa Cousins. Nina will be greatly missed by those who knew her. Her family thanks all who have given support through this tragic time.
Nina is survived by her sisters, Gloria Mauro, Gina Gavette, Maria Featherston, and her brother Michael Mauro (Vicki). Her nieces and nephews, Aliina VanKersen (Eric), Brian Gavette (Cathy), Chris (Paige) Gavette, Mick Gavette and Anna Gavette, Andria Pincheira (Mauricio), Brandon Mauro (Alta), Matt Featherston, and April Mills (AJ) and preceded in death by her grandparents, parents and sister Michelle Ann Mauro.
Stephen and Nina were united in marriage in 1997 at the Beck Chapel – University of Indiana in Bloomington, IN, in front of their loved ones and celebrated their 15th wedding anniversary on October 5, 2012. They spent every day of those 15 years together enjoying every moment life had to offer them.
Stephen and Nina left behind their beloved beagles Buddy and Missy who have found love in a new home with dear friends of the family.
Visitation for Roller and Nina will be held at Cress Funeral & Cremation Service located at 3610 Speedway Road, Madison, WI on Saturday, November 17, 2012 from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. (608) 238-3434.

LMC's Colon Cancer Challenge 2014
Colon cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States. Each year, more than 2,000 South Carolinians are diagnosed with colon cancer and 800 die from the disease. But it's also one of the most preventable forms of cancer – and treatable when detected early. Unfortunately, not everyone receives proper screening.
That's why Lexington Medical Center will host its fifth annual Colon Cancer Challenge bike ride on Saturday, March 29, 2014. All proceeds will go to the LMC Colon Cancer Fund. Hundreds of people participate in the event each year.
"Lexington Medical Center is pleased that the Colon Cancer Challenge helps to provide colonoscopies for people in need in our community," said Barbara Willm, vice president of Community Relations at Lexington Medical Center.
The Colon Cancer Challenge is set for March 29, 2014. The one-day bicycling event will feature 65-, 50-, 25- and 15- and 5-mile rides. Everything begins and ends at Dutch Fork Middle School, located at 1528 Old Tamah Road in Irmo.
Registration begins at 7:00 a.m. The 65- and 50-mile rides begin at 8:00 a.m; the 25-mile ride at 9:00 a.m; the15-mile ride at 9:30 a.m; and the 5-mile ride at 10:00 a.m. Lunch for bike riders will be served at 11:00 a.m.
60-, 50-, 25- and 15-mile Bike Rides: Early Registration: $35. After March 14: $40. Day of Event: $45. 5-mile Bike Ride: Early Registration: $20. After March 14: $25. Day of Event: $30.
This year's Colon Cancer Challenge will also be a special tribute to Edwin Hudson, MD, a Lexington Medical Center radiologist and avid bike rider, who was killed in a tragic cycling accident last year.
Here are some colon cancer facts from the American College of Gastroenterology:
· Colon cancer is the only form of cancer that is preventable.
· The best way to screen for colon cancer is a colonoscopy, which is an examination of the large intestine using a lighted tube.
· Colonnoscopy is among the most powerful tools in clinical medicine, because of its excellent potential to identify and permit removal of polyps before they turn into cancer.
· In general, doctors recommend that people undergo a colonoscopy every 10 years beginning at age 50. African-Americans should begin screening at age 45.
· Early detection and intervention can reduce mortality from colon cancer by up to 90%.

This website provides access to the research results of the VECTORS project, which can be used to support marine management decisions, policies and governance as well as future research and investment.
VECTORS was a large scale project that brought together more than 200 expert researchers from 16 different countries. It examined the significant changes taking place in European seas, their causes, and the impacts they will have on society.
Many countries worldwide appear to have an unnecessarily complex marine legislation and administrative framework, responding to and the result of a suite of international, regional (e.g. European) and national policies, laws and agreements. Whereas European policies until the 1990s were sectoral in nature, EU legislation has progressively become more holistic embracing the Ecosystem-Based Approach. Marine policy is ever evolving and even during the VECTORS project timescale, a new European framework directive for Maritime Spatial Planning (2014-89-EU) has been adopted. VECTORS undertook a detailed review of current marine governance at the international level (Conventions and other international law), EU level (Directives like the Marine Strategy Framework Directive and Water Framework Directive) and at the national level (governance in all VECTORS partner countries). The review has particularly focused on three key VECTORS themes (renewable energy, fisheries and shipping) and on the three regional sea areas of the North Sea, Baltic Sea and western Mediterranean Sea including a review of their respective Conventions. VECTORS has synthesised and mapped the policy and legal frameworks, allowing an evaluation of current forms and mechanisms of marine governance across the EU.
A stated scientific and technical objectives of the VECTORS programme is 'to project the future changes and consequences of multi-sectoral human activity in the marine environment under possible scenarios of adaptation and mitigation'. VECTORS has used the future scenarios developed by the Special Report on Emissions Scenarios to explore the legislative, policy and governance repercussions with respect to three of the key VECTORS drivers of change (demand for food, transport and energy).
VECTORS has investigated the role of stakeholders and policymakers in shaping the future of marine governance. A key focus of VECTORS is to synthesise policy and governance as a tool for stakeholders, and therefore it was essential to engage stakeholders throughout the project. This was carried out through 69 semi-structured interviews held within each VECTORS regional sea (North Sea, Baltic Sea, Western Mediterranean), and at the EU-level, and through marine stakeholder workshops to disseminate results and obtain feedback to improve our current understanding of marine governance. Their views have been used to determine similarities and differences in governance regimes across Europe, identifying lessons learned and examples of best practice.
VECTORS has taken on board the feedback received from the marine stakeholders and has produced a series of policy recommendations on governance controls, assessment tools and policy scenario analysis for the key vectors of change associated with fisheries, energy and shipping.

Hello, my name is Mario and I'm the designer of DYNABAR and other JAY company equipment.
Some of you remember the effort we made in 2008 to bring to market the Sliding Hook System SHS and after 9 versions and 5500pcs sold
we are trying to understand why this solution is not yet well accepted by all kiters despite thousands of happy customers.
Since 3 years ago the market leaders didn't consider SHS as a valid option to bring to market, but in 2014 Mystic and DaKine designed a
"sliding hook on webbing" solution. It was not bad for us to have no-competitors, but we knew that competition was the key-factor to let
spread this technology.
2014 was also the year RideEngine started to produce custom Rigid Shell Waist Harness RSWH equipped by DYNABAR as an SHS option.
Rigid harness limits body compression due to harness strain caused by pull load.
In 2015 JAY designed PowerBand and WingedPad, a solution to upgrade any soft harness to a no-strain RSWH harness.
Finally 2017 is the year almost all brands producing accessories have a RSWH equipped by a SHS in their catalogue: Mystic, Dakine, ION, ProLimit, RideEngine, JAY and Brunotti.
Today the kite harness technology 2.0 is here and every kiter should consider to use it.
First I remind the benefits of a SHS
Easy to walk on the beach, specially when you are beginner
Less stress to back muscles and less back pain.
Reduced body compression
Reduced waist harness ride up
Increased hip movement using a seat harness
Better up-wind angles
Improved wave riding style, specially in strong winds
Easy toe side in waveriding and foiling.
A must in snowkiting esing ski and directional snowboard.
Second let's identify the target for SHS:
100% wave
100% freeride
100% snow
1% freestyle
Let say 91% of the kitesurfing community should use a SHS.
Third, RSWH and SHS technologies
RE started the challenge and they use fiberglass-carbonfiber-resin composite as shell keeping a standard harness construction,
they also designed a SHS with dyneema rope slider as DYNABAR. Rigid shell distributes load on the back and limit body compression
due to kite pull.
JAY introduced first ABS in 2014 and FlexTech 2.0 in 2015, both designed to limit compression without limiting body movement.
in 2017 JAY designed also a new assembly technology who allows to easily replace wear out or broken parts.
DaKine, Mystic and ProLimit introduced new thermoplastic composites the shell is made of, the harness construction technology
is almost the same as RideEngine, Same dyneema rope slider for the SHS.
My experience is that a rigid shell harness combined by a SHS is the best purchase a kiter can do, but other technical details,
like the composite flex and the construction quality, should be carefully kept in consideration before the purchase.
Forth, why you see few kiters using an SHS?
What a pity for all of you who missed a SHS during last 9 years...
My personal answer is that only when the market leaders start a wave in one direction than all the customers have to surf it.
My suggestion is "starting from tomorrow a rigid shell harness equipped by SHS is a must to have in your kite equipment",
but I'm involved in the business and my suggestion should be taken carefully.
Finally if there are questions I will be glad to answer them from my professional experience point of view.

Switchfoot Cuts Ties with Record Label
Grammy-nominated alternative rock band Switchfoot has cut ties with Columbia Records after several years of "trying to make things work" and will spend its "newfound freedom" making music independently.
"We are thankful for the incredible success that our partnership has produced over the years, yet within this ever changing business there can arise differences in vision and goals," the band stated in a weblog entry to their fans last week. "These differences have now come to a point where we feel like parting ways would be best for us, and best for Sony."
Switchfoot, which has long claimed to be "Christian by faith, not by genre," had signed with Columbia Records – the premier subsidiary label of Sony BMG Music Entertainment, Inc. – in 2003 shortly after recording their fourth album, The Beautiful Letdown. Through Columbia, the band was able release the album to a wider audience and sell faster than their previous albums.
Two years after their major label debut, Switchfoot received five Dove Award nominations and won four – including Artist of the Year. The band that year also released their most recent album, Oh! Gravity, which has earned considerable critical acclaim under the Columbia/Sony BMG label.
Despite their success with Columbia, bandmembers stated, "As a hands-on band, we feel so grateful for our newfound freedom."
"We are continually dreaming up ways to bridge the gap between the audience and the stage; this feels like an incredible step in that direction."
The band is currently working on a new album, which may come out as soon as spring 2008.
