Twenty-one games into this NHL season, the Edmonton Oilers were 4-15-2 and they were hopeless. Pressure mounted on all fronts, the money ran out, the engine blew, the rent was due and the dog ran away. Since then, the Edmonton Oilers—the team with more #1 overall picks than actual NHL defensemen—are 5-2-0 in their last seven–for a total of 9-17-2 on the season. Yes! A little sunshine in the room.
- Dallas Eakins: "We're probably going to have to shake that right up, get new units going."
The power play sucks! Since the club went away from the 5F set-up things have been scrambled eggs, and the thing they were most concerned about with the 5F came last night with 4F! So, one assumes they'll just use two defensemen from now on and the power play will continue to dive. Coach Dallas Eakins has some great ideas and some bad ones, but he seems to be flushing some of the good ones too soon. I hope they bring that back.
I'm cheering for Dubnyk to win the goalie race with Bryzgalov, but I don't think it happens. They've started the Russian three games in a row now, which tells me:
- Management believes Dubnyk was unready for the season ala Theo Peckham and he will be sacrificed to the hockey Gods (probably at the deadline)
- Bryzgalov sold management on needing a lot of work right away to get into the swing of things. Cagey damn Russians!
Either way, the big man from Regina is probably going to be a good to excellent starting goaltender in another NHL city by this time next season. MacT's a smart guy, but he's a new guy, and like all older guy's he believes his Bible. I think his Bible says Dubnyk let the team down.
Eakins has figured out the 4line, is running three sets of forwards on the PK, MacT has found him hot and cold running goaltenders, but the defense remains the teenage bagger at the supermarket who forgets to double bag, doesn't endear himself to the little old ladies and pisses off the other patrons by saying "you don't want a hand with these do you?" instead of trying to be helpful.
They're not lollygaggers and they're not without talent, they're just being placed in spots in the batting order that doesn't suit them. The Punch and Judy's are batting cleanup and the speed merchants are in the 7 slot, and there's no cleanup hitter for miles and miles and miles.
24 minutes a night, all three disciplines. There are 28 in the NHL this morning, Christian Ehrhoff is #28 and Dion Phaneuf is just ahead of him, but who knows if that guy is coming here this season. There's a chance the Oilers believe Darnell Nurse is that player, and we'd be silly to think he's more than a year away from heavy duty in blue and orange.
Denis Grebeshkov turned the wrong way and was beaten on goal one (he made an error, but lordy where was the support on that play—this team sells each other out like no Oiler team I've ever seen) and didn't get a chance to do much after that (two shifts) and it's interesting to look at TOI overall last night:
- Andrew Ference 27:04, 30 shifts, a goal and a plus 1
- Jeff Petry 25:36, 28 shifts and a minus 1
- Justin Schultz 24:41, 28 shifts and a plus 1
- Nick Schutz, 17:07, 24 shifts and even
- Anton Belov 16:19, 24 shifts and a plus 1
- Denis Grebeshkov 7:55, 11 shifts and a minus 1
That's a lot of miles for the top 3, but then again end of road trip, trying to make things matter, good call by Eakins. Ference is absolutely the least popular Oiler this season, which suprises me because Ference is an Oiler kind of player. I expect once they get things rolling in a good way fans will like him plenty.
- Nick Schultz 168-195 (46.3%)
- Jeff Petry 205-240 (46.1%)
- Anton Belov 175-207 (45.8%)
- Andrew Ference 215-255 (44.8%)
- Justin Schultz 147-184 (44.5%)
- Ladislav Smid 102-143 (41.6%)
Part Timers
- Corey Potter 21-14 (60%)
- Denis Grebeshkov 35-33 (51.5%)
- Taylor Fedun 26-30 (46.4%
- Phil Larsen 40-70 (36.4%)
I don't know that these numbers tell us much beyond the team performance has been significantly below par. I suspect the math folks would tell us that the difference between the #'s Schultz the elder v younger are positing is so small that Random would claim most of it and Luck would claim the other.
Need the Pronger, and right soon.
It's fun to talk Oilers after a win, and the club won two of three on a road trip so this will be a good day. TSN 1260, 10 this morning. Scheduled to appear:
- Tyler Dellow from mc79 hockey. We'll talk wins, power play, goalies and Taylor Hall.
- Travis Yost from Hockeybuzz. Sens and Bills, he'll hate me by 10:40 this morning.
- Scott Cullen from tsn. Leafs, NFL fantasy and trades before Christmas.
- Neal Livingston from Tend the Farm. Prospect update, plus MacT was in the city on the weekend. What did he see?
- Guy Flaming from the Pipeline Show. WJ invite is announced at 11 this morning. Guy gives us the poop.
Text 10-1260, @Lowetide_ on twitter.

The Kendall Subaru dealership in Missoula is going to the dogs.
On Friday, the company held a barbeque for not only the company's Employee Appreciation Day, but also "National Bring Your Dog To Work Day." Employees got to bring their furry friends to the celebration. Dizzy, Josey and Dave were just a few of the guests at the barbeque.
"Oh, it's fantastic," said Missoula Kendall Subaru's General Manager, Jessica Dominic. "You know, every dog has their day, and theirs' get to be today!"
Dealership employees said they think the event was fitting since all of their Kendall's Subaru's are dog-tested and dog-approved.

Artist BioDixie Chicks is an American country music band which has also crossed over into other genres, including Alternative country. The band is composed of founding members (and sisters) Martie Erwin Maguire and Emily Erwin Robison, and lead singer Natalie Maines. The band formed in 1989 in Dallas, Texas, and was originally composed of four women performing bluegrass and country music, busking and touring the bluegrass festival circuits and small venues for six years without attracting a major label. After the departure of one bandmate, the replacement of their lead singer, and a slight change in their repertoire, Dixie Chicks soon achieved commercial success, beginning in 1998 with hit songs "There's Your Trouble" and "Wide Open Spaces".3248ed2d-bada-41b5-a7b6-ac88faa1f1ac

Darius Wade, a 6-foot, 180-pound lefty from Middletown (Del.) High, gave a non-binding oral commitment to play for the Eagles.
"The reason for my commitment was because of the great coaching staff and academics (at Boston College)," Wade said. "Also, there is a great opportunity for playing time and a chance to eventually compete for an ACC championship."
Wade completed 116 of 177 passes for 2,275 yards and 27 touchdowns. He also ran for 546 yards and seven scores.

Outline of physics
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from List of physics topics)
See also: Index of physics articles
The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to physics:
Physics – natural science that involves the study of matter[1] and its motion through spacetime, along with related concepts such as energy and force.[2] More broadly, it is the general analysis of nature, conducted in order to understand how the universe behaves.[3][4][5]
Nature of physics[edit]
Physics can be described as all of the following:
- An academic discipline – one with academic departments, curricula and degrees; national and international societies; and specialized journals.
- A scientific field (a branch of science) – widely-recognized category of specialized expertise within science, and typically embodies its own terminology and nomenclature. Such a field will usually be represented by one or more scientific journals, where peer-reviewed research is published. There are several geophysics-related scientific journals.
- A natural science – one that seeks to elucidate the rules that govern the natural world using empirical and scientific method.
- A physical science – one that studies non-living systems.
- A biological science – one that studies the role of physical processes in living organisms. See Outline of biophysics.
- A natural science – one that seeks to elucidate the rules that govern the natural world using empirical and scientific method.

By Joe Wojtas
Publication: theday.com
When Karina Montoya of Mystic crossed the finish line of the Boston Marathon Monday afternoon, she was having trouble walking and had to sit down on the pavement. Over the next 10 minutes, medical personnel brought her blankets and gave her Gatorade.
Then, just 100 feet from where she was sitting, two bombs detonated a few seconds apart.
"We looked down the street and saw smoke," she said Monday evening from a train bringing her home. "Everyone was running down the street and we were scared we would be trampled."
"It was very scary. We were just trying to get away. We didn't know if there would be any more explosions," she added.
Montoya said she and others ran to the buses that held their running gear, about 300 feet way. When they got there, she said, they climbed over the metal security fence to get away from the crowd.
"It was very confusing. Phones were not working. We were asking people to use their phones to call our friends," she said. "No one knew where to go or how to get in touch with family. It took us two and a half hours to account for everyone."
When she got to her hotel, the Marriott at Copley Place, it was locked down. Many runners faced the same problem across the city.
"It doesn't even feel meaningful, " she said of finishing her first Boston Marathon. "I just want to get home to my kids."
Montoya was among a group of southeastern Connecticut runners who ran the marathon. Some never made it to the finish line because race officials closed down the course after the explosions. All spent hours trying to reach family and friends to tell them they were safe.
Maggie Jones of Mystic, the executive director of the Denison Pequotsepos Nature Center, was in the family meeting area near the finish waiting for Montoya and other friends when she felt the force of the explosions.
"We all said, 'What was that? That was not good.' We were looking at the Prudential Building and thinking, 'Is that coming down next?'" she said. "It was slow-motion mayhem. Police officers were running around. No one knew what was going on. Then we heard rumors there were other bombs."
Last year, Jones said, she watched the race from the exact spot where the explosion occurred but this year decided to go to the family area instead.
"I guess it was a blessing in disguise we decided to go there," she said. "We were waiting for some friends who had just finished, but they were not showing up. We didn't know until 5 p.m that they were all safe."
Jones said a group of Mystic area runners had planned to have a celebratory dinner Monday night in Boston but instead headed home.
Steve Fagin of Ledyard, running in his 11th Boston Marathon, was less than a half-mile from the finish when he turned a corner and saw his path blocked by runners milling about in the middle of the street. Some were heading back toward him.
"I was annoyed. I was saying 'Get out of the way. We're trying to finish the race.' I was in a zone. I just wanted to finish," said Fagin by cell phone as he stood in a changing tent near the finish.
Fagin, who writes a blog on the outdoors for The Day, said he did not hear the blast and could not see the finish, which was around two more corners. He was in the street for about 45 minutes before someone directed the runners down Massachusetts Avenue to the line of buses that held their gear.
While they waited, residents and college students came out to give the runners drinks, snacks and plastic garbage bags to put on to stay warm. "I'm still shivering two hours later," he said.
Fagin said the scene was chaotic with fire trucks and emergency vehicles. "There was no communication. It was all word of mouth," he said.
"Something like this is so far from your mind when you're running a race. My heart goes out to the people who were hurt," he said.
Monday's race was the first time that Phil Plouffe of Mystic had run in the Boston Marathon. He had it on his bucket list.
Several years ago, Plouffe attempted to climb Mount Everest, but exhaustion forced him to turn back just a short distance from the summit. Monday's explosion stopped him from reaching the finish as well.
"I was so close," he said.
Jim Roy of Mystic was in front of Fagin and Plouffe and was among the first runners stopped by police from getting to the finish. He said he heard two booms but did not think much of it.
"We all hoped it was a generator or transformer blowing up. When you hear now it was terrorist act, it's devastating," he said from the lobby of downtown Boston hotel where he was meeting other local runners.
He said a police officer came out on the course and told him the race was canceled.
"It was a blessing that I wasn't running much quicker," said Roy.
Laura Brustolon of Mystic finished well before the explosions and was the top Connecticut female finisher.
"I like to call my family and tell them how I did after the race, and I did. Then, all of a sudden, they are worried that somehow I was part of the horrible explosion. I didn't even know that it had happened," she said.
Stan Mickus of Mystic, who finished the race in under three hours, said he had returned to his hotel and was getting into the shower when he checked his Twitter account and saw reports of the explosion.
When he looked outside his hotel, about a mile from the finish, he saw runners streaming away from the finish line and emergency vehicles heading toward it.
Fagin's wife, Lisa Brownell, said their son, Thomas Fagin, had finished in 2 hours, 42 minutes and 20 seconds and was already at a friend's house near Copley Square. He was planning to meet his father after the race but the two were having a hard time making contact as cell phone service was overloaded. Both father and son managed to get through to Brownell, who was able to tell each of them that the other was safe.

IVF #3 - 12/31 stims
I am over the moon to hear that news Rhonda! I know you are living in a dream right now and after your little one gets here you will think back and the pain you went through won't be as sharp...I read my journal I kept through my whole experience and cry everytime I do because no one knows but all of us how terribly hard and difficult this process is.
I remember one night DH and I were both so stressed and nervous bf we started the IVF that we were having an all out brawl (can't even remember what it was over) and by the end of it we landed up crying in each other's arms in the hallway on the floor.
No one but all of us understand.
Rhonda - I've been waiting to hear about your US! I'm so thrilled for you!!!

So excited to hear about that strong heartbeat, Rhonda!
Seriously, you gals are THE BEST! You make this journey so much easier and moments like this so very special. I have so much love & gratitude towards each and every one of you for caring and watching for my updates!

I did take estrogen patches til 12 weeks, too, only I didn't wean off of those, I just stopped at 12 weeks exactly.
I stay on Estrogen patches until my 10th week also.

Congratulations Rhonda,
I am so happy for you! What a great feeling
hi - i wondered if i could ask you ladies some advice. I had ec on Mon 6th and et on thur 9th ( 3dt ) with 2 grade 1 8 cell embryos. It was greatt o get that far with icsi as our first ivf ended in no ferts. Anyway they said to test 2 weeks after et - thur 23rd?? Seems very late to me as my period would surely be due on Mon 20th 2 weeks after ovulation. Im on progesterone
4oomg am and pm and have had sore boobs for 4 days which has toatally gone today and i am constipated ( sorry tmi ) and have indegestion quite bad which i dont usually get. Am 9 dpet today and have real pains in my stomach which feels like af coming too!!
I know others have been through this so wondered if anyone had any postive advice for me - i really dont feel pregnant today and had been so positive untill today. Im 34 with uneplained infertility and no male factor. Thansk alot and good luck to everyone xx
thanks alot for your message. i tested today 11 dp 3dt and was positive!! but when i rang the hospital they said i had to wait until 14 dpet as the hcg stays in your body until then??? i had 5000hcg on sat 4th at 10pm - would it still be in my system today? I tested with an internet cheapie 10mui and line came up quickly , not really dark but fairly dark. Then i tested with clear blue digital 25mui and it came up pregnant 1 - 2 weeks, but this took about a minute to come up.
have been to my own dr today as have been so ill past couple of days with indegestion, bloating, severe nausea , diareah. She said i had gastroenteritis??
What do you think can i believe my positive or not?
Hi Anne
I tested positive at 9 dpt (with 10,000hcg), and when I went to the dr for blood test it was positive. I think the doctors don't want a false positive so err on the side of caution with testing at 2ww. The symptoms may be due to illness, but I would be optimistic about your positive Only a few days til the drs test so hang in there!
I don't know about all your symptoms, but I had some symptoms(bloating and bellyache like before period feeling) Do you have a fever? gastroenteritis is stomach flu... See your Dr for just staying safe side.
I did my PIO till week 22 yes my friends till week 22! I had an addiction to it. It made me feel safe so my RE let me continue it because I had it :-)
How are all our girls that are cycling doing? I know SoBe is one....
All our BFP ladies: Don't forget to fill out your IVF success story! Let's be some encouragement to someone else!
Looks like I'm all alone in this cycle, which is good!! That means most of you ladies have gone on to have a BFP!!. Everything is cool with me. I'm on Lupron (2 x day), Menopur, and Follistim. Also taking baby aspirin to prepare lining for nice, cushy, implantation. We have our first u/s 2morrow....fingers crossed for a good report.

Hi All! I just got af this morning so I'll be calling the Dr. for an appointment later this morning. The doctor said that since we put IVF off last month, we'll cycle no matter what this month. Hope that is really the case! Please say a prayer that all my relaxing and DHEA have helped me be ready for IVF!
SoBe - good luck with your u/s tomorrow. Hope you get a great report! I hope we both join the list of ladies with BFP this time!
WOW My heart doesn't know whether it wants to shout for joy or cry! There is so much going on here in this thread, so many congratulations and prayers are needed. Thank you everyone for sharing what is going on in your lives here. I do wish that the IVF Q&A thread (or whatever it was referred to here) was still avail. But spying on all of you gives me hope to start this process.
MY DH and I have been ttc since Jan '10. A few weeks ago he agreed to get his lab work done to see if were something to do with his swimmers, 'cause it's the quickest 1st step to see if we were going to need some "outside help" in getting preg. The results came back with his strict morpholgy of 2%. We thought we'd be ok and just keep practicing but just to be sure DH came with me to my OBG apt. today for a pre-prego consult. My dr took one look at the swimmer test results and said, "that the chances of us having a baby the natural way was slim to none and you you are now looking at 'plan b' ...IVF or IUI. She gave us the number Reproductive Endocrinology place in town. DH won't be able to do it the "natural" way.
I guess what I'm saying is that reading the snippets of lives here is going to give me so much hope as so many of you are either walking the same path or finding their dreams to be moms finally coming true. Thanks for sharing your stories with us just starting out.
KMyers, thanks for sharing your story. This space is the best place on earth. There were days when I thought I would loose it, but when I would log on and see the well wishes and kind words it just melted my heart. Wishing you the best of luck in your journey and hoping you get a BFP really soon.

Fair Park's D'Angelo McClinton is prepared to make his first playoff appearance as a Fair Park Indian. The 5'7 senior is not your average sized point guard but he constantly poses a threat to his opponents.
"All my life I"ve been undersized playing basketball," said McClinton. "It's just when I get out there I have to have the heart. It isn't about the height it's about the heart and what you do on the court."
Head coach Eddie Hamilton has watches his talented senior grow as a player over the past three years.
"The things that he's able to do are things that I'm not able to teach. It's natural ability. He just has a hunger about him that I haven't seen in any player I've ever coached."
McClinton averages 23 points per game this season and has led the Fair Park Indians to a 9-1 finish in district.

Thousands of local police departments nationwide have been amassing stockpiles of military-style equipment in the name of homeland security, aided by more than $34 billion in federal grants since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, a Daily Beast investigation conducted by the Center for Investigative Reporting has found.
OWS Invests In Unmanned Surveillance Drone Dubbed The 'Occucopter'
For years we've seen images of the military's unmanned aerial vehicles aiding soldiers in combat zones, and their evolution from surveillance tools to the heavily weaponized Predator drones. Now, the Guardian reports, Occupy Wall Street livestreamer Tim Pool hopes to use that technology as an additional set of eyes on the police department.
Tim Pool, an Occupy Wall Street protester, has acquired a Parrot AR drone he amusingly calls the "occucopter". It is a lightweight four-rotor helicopter that you can buy cheaply on Amazon and control with your iPhone. It has an onboard camera so that you can view everything on your phone that it points at. Pool has modified the software to stream live video to the internet so that we can watch the action as it unfolds. [more]

I was a bit disappointed in the lack of flavor of the gravy. I used a pale ale; perhaps if I try it again, I will use smoked paprika, and a stout beer. The meat was very tender.

On-Air: Weekdays 10am - 2pm
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
I was born and raised in Aurora IL. I spent sometime doing radio in Davenport, IA. Please don't hold that against me. I moved to Springfield about 5 years ago and have been with Alice since the inception. Is anyone still reading this? I mean could I just type poop over and over again without anyone noticing? Let's try out that theory, poop, poop, poop. Wow, you are still reading.
Well since you made it through all the poop what else can I tell you about myself? I am a huge sports fan; baseball, football, basketball, hockey, you name it. Favorite teams include the Chicago Blackhawks, the Chicago Cubs, Gonzaga Bulldogs, and much to the chagrin of my office mate Josie, The Notre Dame Fighting Irish. I have been to over 300 concerts in my life. Some of my favs include, Pearl Jam, Green Day, Rancid, and Social Distortion just to name a few. I also enjoy long walks on the beach, wait this isn't an e-harmony profile this is a station bio. Plus I am already married to an amazing woman, whom I am sure you have heard me talk about on more than a few occasions. Thanks for reading and listening.
about two years ago
Wow my first blog post, I feel like it should be accompanied by the theme from Doogie Howser. Don't worry you won't learn some valuable lesson by the end of this blog post. However you will learn about a NHL phenomenon called the playoff beard. It originted back in the 1980's with the New York Islanders, as a sign of team solidarity they decided not to shave until they were either eliminated from the playoffs or won the Stanley Cup. As luck would have it they won the Cup and the playoff beard was born. Now us hockey fans can get in on the action through the NHL's Beardathon. Hockey fans sign up to grow a beard in support of their team and all the proceeds go to help a charity of that team's choice. As evidenced by the accompanying pic my team is the Chicago Blackhawks and their charity is Blackhawks Charities, which helps under priveleged kids state wide. You can check out my page and make a donation if so inclined here. Thanks for reading and GO HAWKS!

SodaStream earnings sizzle but shares fizzle
The stock price of the home soda maker dips despite an earnings beat.
By Chris Poley
SodaStream International (SODA), the home carbonation system manufacturer and marketer, posted a second-quarter profit far above analyst expectations Wednesday. But shares still dropped slightly to close at $40.97.
The Israeli company reported that net income rose 43.9% to $9.5 million, or 45 cents a share, from $6.6 million, or 32 cents per share, a year earlier. Total revenue increased 49.1% to $103 million from $69.1 million a year earlier.
"We are very pleased to have generated our first $100 million revenue quarter ever," said CEO Daniel Birnbaum in a statement.
Gross margins grew 54.4% versus 53% a year earlier. Moreover, marketing expenses rose 36% to $37.1 million from $22.5 million, or 32.5%.
SodaStream also raised its 2012 guidance for sales growth to 40% from earlier estimate of 33% over last year. The company increased its net income forecast from 50% to 55% above 2011.
"The successful execution of our growth strategy, combined with a strong pipeline of product innovation, gives us confidence in our ability to capture a greater share of the global beverage industry in the years ahead," Birnbaum said.
Revenue growth occurred in all regions, with revenue from the Americas more than doubling to $30.7 million. Europe sales were up 25% to $54 million, while Asia and the Pacific Rim revenue tripled to $9.9 million.
Some might consider SodaStream to be a growth story, but investors have not been fully convinced. Last July, share prices were trading north of $70 and were trading Wednesday near $40. Yahoo Finance indicates that 67% of the stock's float is short. As an illustration of the high level of volatility affecting SodaStream shares, shares were up 8% in pre-market trading Wednesday morning, but were down 3% within the first hour of market open. This volatility may be related to the stock's bearish short interest.
The majority of SodaStream's competitors trade on the OTC or pink-sheet system, indicating that these companies may not have to file with SEC. All these competitors have a small share float, high betas and market values of well under $1 billion.
The Wall Street adage of "buy the rumor, sell the news" may have applied to SodaStream. Based the company's heavy short float and positive earnings, revenues and full year guidance, investors might have expected this stock to explode upward.

Fit Blogger We Love: Food and Fun on the Run
Written on September 13, 2012 at 3:36 pm , by Samantha Shelton
When we think of Florida, we imagine palm trees, sandy beaches and an escape from the hustle and bustle of New York City. If the weather is cool-ish, we'll toss a jog in for good measure. Mary, a Tampa Bay resident, sees things a bit differently. She details her running adventures on her blog, Food and Fun on the Run, filling us in on the nitty gritty of what it's like to train in such humid weather, along with the fun food she gets to devour after accomplishing a beastly workout. Nothing screams "balance" to us more!
My favorite way to work out: Definitely running! I started in high school to stay in shape for other sports, and haven't stopped since! I love the feeling of getting outside and hitting the pavement, with only my current run on my mind. It's therapeutic for me!
On my fit life list: I want to run all five of the major marathons! I have already completed NYC and Boston, I have Chicago in a few weeks, and then I need to complete London and Berlin! I cannot wait for the day that I have the chance to say I completed all five races!
My biggest indulgence: Chicken fingers and french fries with a side of honey mustard. Yep, it's that specific! I love this guilty-pleasure meal. A little secret: my husband and I had it the night of our wedding after we left the reception, and it tasted so good! [Editor's note: Be sure to check out our more waistline-friendly chicken fingers. Just as tasty and only 212 calories per serving!]
My fitness mantra: "Attitude is everything." I truly believe that we all create our lives, good or bad. If you start your fitness journey thinking that you are going to fail, then you have created that for your future. Rather, know that you are going to work incredibly hard to achieve everything you set out to do, and you will accomplish it, little by little. Your attitude is everything – make it amazing!
My motivation comes from: A burning desire deep inside me wanting to beat my times and accomplishments from before. I am very competitive with myself, and constantly strive to make myself a better athlete and overall person. As soon as I reach a goal, I set another one to continuously push myself harder.
After we saw the delicious spread of food she whipped up at a recent bridal shower for another Fit Blogger We Love, we couldn't help but beg Mary for a tasty dish sending us into the fall season. Check it out below!
Peanut Butter Pumpkin Oats
Serves 1
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup vanilla almond milk
- 1/4 cup canned pumpkin
- 1/4 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 spoonful of natural peanut butter
Combine all ingredients and let sit overnight. In the morning, top with a sliced banana and a few dashes of cinnamon. Enjoy!

Having a 4 year old boy and twin boys that are 18 months hasn't slowed me down!
25:48 for my first 5K of 2012, I will take it! I finished 23 out of 114 runners, so in the top quarter! Yeah! It was a great course with a couple rolling hills. My only complaint would be the 85 degree temps and a 9am start.
My goal is 25 flat this summer, which I know I can achieve. My question to all you runners out there… Is it better to just start out fast and slow down over the miles or try to do even splits? Also, what is the best way to train to run faster? I am starting to feel like a real runner these days!

Rat Massacre: Galapagos Islands To Kill Millions
Mass poisoning will take place on an uninhabited island where there are 10 rats for every square metre of land.
Poisonous bait will be dropped from a helicopter onto the island
Rats eat eggs and young animals
Ecuador is preparing to massacre more than 180 million rats as it seeks to eradicate them from the Galapagos Islands.
A helicopter will drop nearly 22 tons of specially designed poisonous bait on Pinzon Island, an uninhabited island in the archipelago 600 miles off the coast of Ecuador and the nearby Plaza Sur islet.
It is the second stage in an offensive that aims to kill all non-native rodents across the 19 islands that helped inspire Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by 2020.
Norway and black rats were introduced by whalers and buccaneers when they reached the islands in the 17th century and now feed on the eggs and young of many of the island's native species, including giant tortoises, lava lizards, snakes, hawks and iguanas.
The rats have also depleted the plants on which many natives species feed.
"It's one of the worst problems the Galapagos have. (Rats) reproduce every three months and eat everything," Juan Carlos Gonzalez, a specialist with the Nature Conservancy, said.
"This is a very expensive but totally necessary war."
On Pinzon, which is just seven square miles in area, there are 10 rats for every square metre of land.
The poisoned bait is contained in light blue cubes that attract rats but are repulsive to other inhabitants of the islands.
Thirty-four hawks from Pinzon have been captured in order to protect them from eating the poisoned rodents, while 40 iguanas on Plaza Sur were also held for their own protection.
Asked whether a large number of decomposing rats would create an environmental problem, Danny Rueda, director of conservation for the Galapagos National Park Service, said the poison was specially engineered with a strong anti-coagulant that will make the rats dry up and disintegrate in less than eight days.
The Galapagos were declared protected as a Unesco Natural Heritage site in 1978. In 2007, Unesco declared them at risk due to harm from invasive species, tourism and immigration.

Your neck, with its ability to twist, turn, bend and tilt is
part of an amazing piece of architecture called the spinal
column: 33 vertebrae and discs that extend from the base
of the skull to the pelvis.
When the cushiony discs sandwiched between each vertebra
in the neck deteriorate due to disease or injury, it is
called cervical spine degenerative disc disease (DDD).
Joan O'Shea, MD, Virtua spine surgeon and neurosurgeon,
describes it: "Symptoms like pain that radiates into
one or both arms, or a weakness in the arms, could mean
a neck disc is pressing against spinal nerves." She adds
that pressure on the spinal cord could cause paralysis.
Dr. O'Shea corrects the problem by replacing
the entire diseased disk with an artificial cervical spinal
disc - the most advanced technology available. The procedure
is appropriate for younger patients with good bone
structure who need only one disc replaced. This approach
gives patients a more natural range of motion at the level
where the diseased disc was originally located.
Surgeons used to correct severe DDD with a spinal
fusion. The procedure would remove the diseased disc and
fuse the adjacent two vertebrae with metal plates and
Today, artificial disc replacement usually takes about
90 minutes and is performed through a one-inch incision.
Once the diseased disc is removed, the artificial disc is
secured into place.
"Throughout the procedure, I monitor nerve messages
from the brain as they travel down the spinal cord," says
Dr. O'Shea. "This extra step provides the utmost safety for
patients, which is critical when I work near the spinal
cord." Patients are usually up and walking the day of surgery,
and most drive within one week.
Still, not everyone is a candidate for this procedure.
"It's important to first exhaust all conservative treatment
methods such anti-inflammatory medications or epidural
steroid injections," she says. Your surgeon is best qualified
to help make a decision about whether a spinal fusion or
artificial disc replacement is best for you.

In classified presidential emergency action documents, the CIA director is among the dozens, if not hundreds, of officials who are listed as National Command Authority successors in the event that higher-ranking officials are no longer able to do their jobs.
Because under certain circumstances he'd have ready access to the nuclear satchel, Petraeus was indoctrinated into the Personnel Reliability Program, which evaluates and monitors the lifestyle and behavior of Americans with access to nuclear command and control mechanisms. Adultery is not a minor sin under the PRP rules.
The details of so-called "nuclear pre-delegation" is one of the most tightly held secrets in the U.S. government. The first 18 presidential successors are spelled out by law. But it is not clear whether the pre-delegation lists follow the Constitutional chain of command.
After retiring as a general, Petraeus was confirmed by the Senate as a civilian, and was probably given emergency action training by the White House Military Office, which runs the Continuity of Government program. In that role, he could serve as one of the two people needed to confirm codes that would key Permissive Action Links (PALs) and activate launch sequences, adhering to the U.S. Strategic Command's two-person rule for nuclear weapons. Precisely what would need to happen for an official like Petraeus to be in the catbird seat is classified, the result of decades of highly secret rules and provisions that are kept locked in safes.
And so seriously does the U.S. government take the PRP that if a missile wing commander is scheduled to get a wisdom tooth extraction, he or she must notify the squadron's PRP officer, who will transfer power to the deputy commander until the commander's doctor certifies in writing that he or she is able to function normally again.
When Petraeus conceded having an affair to DNI James Clapper, Clapper had several reasons to insist on his resignation, one of which was the director's exalted position in COG programs. Another was simply that the CIA director is held to a higher standard of trust and rectitude by foreign officials, who might take strategic advantage of his public embarrassment.
The current nuclear war plan for the United States is numbered "OPLAN 8010-08" and entitled "Strategic Deference and Global Strike."

On Wednesday night's edition of The X Factor , the top 12 contestants performed live in the hope of securing enough of America's votes to remain in the contest. Two acts will be eliminated by the end of Thursday's results show.
Britney Spears has four acts remaining in the Teens category, Demi Lovato has three of her Young Adults still standing, Simon Cowell now has three Groups to mentor and L.A. Reid has just two acts representing the Over 25s.
Mario Lopez and Khloe Kardashian Odom once again acted as hosts.
This week's theme was "Diva Night," celebrating the songs of strong female artists. Here's how the performances went:
Demi Lovato/Young Adults
-- Jennel Garcia is a dance teacher, as well as a singer. She performed a version of Creedence Clearwater Revival 's "Proud Mary," and incorporated some Tina Turner -style choreography in her routine. Tina, of course, scored a hit with that song, too. L.A. said of her performance, "That smoked!" Simon said that Jennel is back in the contest.
-- Paige Thomas had been told that her past performances bordered on "karaoke." She wanted to put criticisms aside and dedicated her song to her mother, who had passed away when Paige was just 6 years old. She sang Donna Summer 's "Last Dance." L.A. called it her "best yet." Simon agreed but added that the choreography was distracting.
--Demi said CeCe Frey would show "how bad she wants it," after surviving last week's sing-off. She sang Eric Carmen 's "All By Myself," as performed by Celine Dion . L.A. was lost for words and could only say that he didn't like her dress. Britney said, "Sorry, I just don't get it." Simon called the performance "cabaret," and thought that CeCe and her mentor were "not getting it right."
L.A. Reid/Over 25s
-- Tate Stevens is the country singer who topped the leader board last week. He decided to sing the Shania Twain song "From This Moment On." Britney called the performance "heartfelt." Simon said Tate's performance was even better than last week and added that he would gladly award Tate the $5 million prize right now.
--L.A. once called Vino Alan an "underdog," but he finished third in last week's rankings. He sang Tina Turner's version of Al Green 's "Let's Stay Together." Britney said Vino has a "soulful voice." Demi said she was a little bored with Vino's performance. Simon was still looking for Vino's "moment."
Britney Spears/Teens
--Diamond White had been previously eliminated but was given a second chance by the show's producers last week. She sang "Halo," by Beyonce . L.A. said that Diamond had "started shaky" but managed to fill Beyonce's big shoes. Demi thought Diamond was already a diva. Simon called her "a future star."
--Beatrice Miller was disappointed to be placed only 10th on the leader board last week. She sang "Time After Time," by Cyndi Lauper . L.A. wasn't sure that the song choice was the best showcase for her voice. Demi disagreed and liked the soulful tone in the performance. Simon thought the song was boring.
--Arin Ray finished 11th out of 12 on last week's leader board, and desperately wanted to improve his standing. After a brief technical fault, Arin sang "Crazy for You," by Madonna . L.A. said he was not feeling "goosebumps." Demi agreed and was "bored" by the performance. Simon bizarrely said Arin's attempt at the song was like "asking a cat to eat a tiger."
--Carly Rose Sonnenclar was happy to have received a visit on set by her father. She sang "My Heart Will Go On" by Celine Dion , from her favorite movie, Titanic . L.A. said "we could be looking at the winner." Demi said she couldn't believe how good a voice Carly has at age 13. Simon called the performance "absolutely incredible."
Simon Cowell/Groups
--Simon warned that the song of choice for his first group had been changed at midnight on Tuesday night, giving Lyric 145 little chance to rehearse. They dedicated their performance to family and friends affected by Hurricane Sandy. They performed a mash-up of Katy Perry 's "E.T." and Queen 's "We Will Rock You." L.A. thought Lyric 145 had "lost their way." Demi was confused about the song choices. Simon said that the rappers "bring an energy that the show needs."
--Newly-renamed Fifth Harmony is a group of young women who were put together from solo singers after the open auditions. The five told of how well they have been bonding. They sang "Hero," by Mariah Carey . L.A. called them "loveable." Britney was extremely impressed. Simon said that Fifth Harmony have a chance of winning the contest.
--Emblem3 , who Simon said had "risked their lives saving some drowning kittens this week," were disappointed with their sixth-place ranking on last week's show. They sang a version of the Alicia Keys song "No One." L.A. said they had a perfect vocal blend. Britney understood the boy's sex appeal. Simon called Emblem3 "absolutely brilliant!"
The X Factor will return to Fox on Thursday at 8:00 p.m. Eastern time.
