You can find it in songs performed by pop music stars Rihanna and Miley Cyrus and in clubs and on college campuses across the country. The drug called "Molly" is a purified form of MDMA, the main ingredient in ecstasy. It's a hallucinogenic, popular in night clubs and music festivals.
"It gives you energy, colors become vibrant and sounds are distorted because there is a lot of serotonin and dopamine in your brain," said Dr. Christopher Holstege, the director of the Blue Ridge Poison Control Center and a professor in the department of emergency medicine at the University of Virginia. But Holstege warns the drug can cause seizures and even death.
The drug is linked to the deaths of four people in one week in Boston and New York, and the family of UVa student Mary Shelley Goldsmith says she took the drug the night she passed out in a Washington, DC nightclub and later died at a nearby hospital.
Holstege said ecstasy related cases are becoming more common in emergency rooms across the country. According to data from the Drug Abuse Warning Network (DAWN), the number of cases more than doubled between 2004 and 2011, from 10,227 ecstasy related cased in the ER to 22,498 cases.
"It's still a small percentage compared to all drugs of abuse but it is increasing," Holstege said.
Those numbers reflect what students on UVa Grounds say they are seeing on a daily basis.
"You hear of some friends are involved in that stuff, but generally it doesn't have a presence here," said Colvin Wang, a fourth year student at UVa.
Another fourth year student said other drugs were more prevalent around campus. "Some people smoke a lot of marijuana and there's a fair amount of alcohol," said Neil Molstey. "But we don't have a very large drug culture."
Health officials warn that drug dealers often mix substances when making "Molly" and users may end up taking something entirely different than ecstasy.
"It truly is kind of like Russian Roulette," said Holstege. "You may not get the right bullet and shoot yourself in the head. No one intends to die or get sick."

A study of a USA diplomatic and military team, led by former UN ambassador Thomas Pickering and retired Marine Corps General James Jones was published, on 01/30/2008, and has concluded that Afghanistan risks turning into a 'failed state' and becoming a forgotten war.
According to the report - The Taliban have mounted a comeback in AFGHANISTAN over the past two years. The south of the country has seen the worst violence since the Taliban were thrown out of power in the US-led invasion of 2001, operation Absolute Justice.
The report recommended more NATO troops to be sent to AFGHANISTAN and more USA and international involvement – in short more of the same.
Just a day later, on 01/31/2008, another study group of scholars in AFGHANISTAN issued a similar report with almost the same basic conclusions –more foreign involvement. The report came on the same day that yet another senior official in AFGHANISTAN, deputy governor of AFGHANISTAN's Helmand province Haji Pir Mohammed was killed, with 7 other people, in a suicide bomb attack in a Mosque in Lashkar Gah, Helmand's capital.
There are about 45,000 NATO troops in AFGHANISTAN, giving the AFGHANISTAN territory, 625,000 km - much more then Iraq, and the sectarian divided population of about 28 millions, also more then in Iraq, the numbers of NATO troops are ridiculous. In addition, most of them operate under very strict rules of engagement, issued by their governments, which practically prevent them from taking part in aggressive military operations. The real fighting is carried out mainly by UK and USA troops.
The problem with the two reports is that they almost ignore the lessons from Iraq. Iraq will never be a neglected war since Iraq is located in the heart of the Middle East, in the center of the largest oil reserve in the world and in the frontline of the conflict between Sunnites and Shiites in Islam. Despite the total involvement of USA, but also the international community and the number coalition troops, over 175,000, the situation in Iraq is, in many aspects, even worse then in AFGHANISTAN. The attempt to impose, on the local society an alien political culture- Democracy, is in the bottom of the double failure in Iraq and AFGHANISTAN and not the specific number of troops.

Get Out and Get Fit with Rails-to-Trails
Written on April 8, 2014 at 9:34 am , by FITNESS Intern
Written by Jordan Clifford, editorial intern
Spring has finally sprung! Well, sort of. It's still a little chilly, but the sun is out and we're definitely ready to blaze some trails. With hiking (and allergy, unfortunately) season just around the corner, Claritin is teaming up with non-profit Rails-to-Trails to raise funds for those of us looking for more outdoor areas to get—and stay—fit.
Never heard of Rails-to-Trails Conservancy? Let me fill you in: basically, they turn abandoned railways into multiuse public paths—like the famous Highline in New York City or the 238-mile-long Katy Trail in Missouri. "Our mission is to try and retrofit communities to get people to lead active lifestyles," says Keith Laughlin, president of Rails-to-Trails. When the organization launched in 1989, there was less than 250 miles of rail-trails, but today they span nearly 21,000 miles across the U.S. The ultimate aim is to have 90 percent of Americans live within three miles of a trail, Laughlin explains. With 700,000 miles of extensions and new trails currently in the pipeline, they're well on their way, and it's a goal we can totally get behind.
One celeb supporting the initiative? About a Boy star Minnie Driver. "I love the idea of communities recycling their unused rail lines," she says. "If you're living in proximity to [a rail-trail], that's a wonderful part of your community to utilize as a way of staying healthy and getting healthier." And as the face of Claritin's new "Be a Claritin Trailblazer" campaign, Driver announced the company's $50,000 donation to the conservancy last Thursday and launched a social media campaign to raise an additional $10,000.
Want to join in and help the cause? Visit Claritin's Facebook page and for every like, comment or share between now and June 1st, they'll donate an additional dollar (up to $10,000). Check out Minnie's video and let us know where you'd like to see more rail-trails pop up.

"Protect the Places We Play" with Clif Bar
Written on September 17, 2012 at 9:21 am , by FITNESS Intern
By Deanna Cioppa, editorial intern
There's a lot to love about the great outdoors – the fresh air, gorgeous scenery, and the chance to connect with something bigger than us. Nature gives us a lot, and the more vulnerable our environment becomes, the more we need to give back. For the second year, CLIF® Bar is providing a way to do that.
The 2012 CLIF Bar Meet the Moment campaign is a unique way to share what you love about the outdoors while helping to protect it. At MeetheMoment.com, visitors can upload photos and descriptions of their favorite outdoor memories – whether it was a particular obstacle you overcame, a family adventure, or just a moment of Zen. Every time you post a moment, select from one of five charities to which CLIF Bar will donate $5 – up to $100,000 total.
That's not all. Share or "Like" a moment on Facebook, Twitter, Google+ or Pinterest, and the company donates an additional $1. CLIF will choose the top moment from a list of the 25 most shared/liked by October 31, and an additional donation of $10,000 will be made in the winner's name to the charity he or she chooses. The grand prize winner will also be treated to a year's supply of CLIF Bars!
This year, the non-profits to benefit include the Access Fund, which focuses on conservation of climbing lands; the International Mountain Biking Association; Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics, an outdoor ethics advocate; the Surfrider Foundation, dedicated to protecting oceans; and the Winter Wildlands Alliance, which works to protect "winter ecosystems" and encourage outdoor winter activities.
To date, the 2012 CLIF Bar Meet the Moment campaign has raised $14,601. There's a long way to go until October 31, so start sharing your favorite moments and help protect the lands we love.

Explore the National Parks for Free on Saturday!
Written on June 6, 2012 at 12:10 pm , by Karla Walsh
Here's advice you don't often hear from us at FITNESS: skip the gym. That's right, we're giving you permission to erase your name from the treadmill list or take a day off from your exercise class because this Saturday is National Get Outdoors Day!
As part of Let's Move Outside, included in First Lady Michelle Obama's health intiative, Saturday, June 9 has been designated as a day to promote healthy activities in the great outdoors. One of our favorite nature-filled ways to stay fit? Hiking! Not only will the average 140-pound woman burn 384 calories on the trails, but she'll also tone her lower body and will be able to take in some breathtaking views and fresh air.
For Get Outdoors Day, you can try hiking out yourself and explore your national parks for free this Saturday (learn more about fee-free day here). Before you go, download the Happy Trails guide—which is also free—to find 25 can't-miss hikes across the country. Maybe you can check one off your list this weekend!
If you enjoy yourself and want to support these beautiful parks, click here to find out how to do so. And for more about hiking, don't miss our July/August issue, which hits newsstands on June 26!

Why You Should Take a Recess—Regardless of Your Age!
Written on April 12, 2012 at 11:56 am , by Karla Walsh
Do you hear the recess bell ringing? Take notice: It's not just for the kids! Sportswear company KEEN is on a mission to encourage companies to jump on the break bandwagon. Why? Because it just makes sense (and cents)!
Check out these facts:
- 62% of employees who don't take regular breaks
- 40% increase in premature death risk for those who commonly experience bouts of prolonged sitting
- Each 2 hour increase in work time sitting has been linked to a 5% increase in obesity and a 7% increase in Type 2 diabetes
- More than 1/10 of American healthcare costs can be attributed to inactivity
- 44% of adults would participate in recess, if offered at their workplace (count all of us in!)
- Employers get about $2 back for every $1 spent implementing a paid recess break program
Source: Methodology for the Recess Revolution Toolkit, research performed by UCLA School of Public Health
That's why KEEN has declared that "Recess is Back." They want employers across the country to offer 10-minute breaks for workers to step outside, breathe fresh air and simply play. Research has proven that these paid recess breaks increase productivity and morale and decrease absenteeism and medical costs. If you forget what to do during recess, check out some of their awesome activity ideas on the very Pin-able recess.keenfootwear.com!
Now tell us: What would your ideal workday recess include?

We Tried It: Camp David Outdoor Boot Camp Class
Written on July 19, 2011 at 12:08 pm , by FITNESS Intern
Written by Theresa K. Brady, editorial intern
After one day at Camp David, you're sure to LookBetterNaked —the mantra of DavidBartonGym. The free (yes, free!) boot camp class offered by the gym is designed to burn fat and build muscle through intense cardio drills, agility training and core strengthening moves. But this class is for you, even if you're not a gym junkie—it's entirely outdoors! Last Tuesday, I made my way to the gym's Uptown location in New York City to experience the Camp David for myself.
Wasting no time, trainer Carlos Frias started the class with a brisk jog to the Great Lawn in Central Park. He led our group of 12 to a small picnic area where we completed sets of lunges and cardio drills. Although the drills were simple like running in place and jumping jacks, we all were dripping sweat! After finishing loads of squats, it was time to work our upper bodies.
Using picnic tables, we performed multiple reps of push-ups and triceps dips. (Frias made sure to help each person individually with this section to prevent any injuries.) We ended the class with a light jog, some stretching and a short walk back to the gym.
The best part? All the positive reinforcement! Frias is all about making his recruits feel great about the hard work they put into the class. "There you go" and "that's right" seem to be his personal mantras.
Camp David is great for people of all ages and fitness levels. The best part? You don't have to be a member of the gym to attend. Camp David classes are offered at the DavidBartonGym New York City Uptown, Miami and Seattle locations until September 1. Find out more at DavidBartonGym.com!

Fitness Guru Jake Steinfeld Teams up with Coca-Cola to Make Parks Healthier
Written on July 6, 2011 at 9:44 am , by FITNESS Intern
Written by Alexa Cortese, Web Intern
When the weather cooperates, there's nothing like going to the park for an outdoor workout . Last week, The National Park Foundation and Coca-Cola launched "America Is Your Park" to make getting fit outdoors even easier. The campaign, which is taking place for the second year in a row, will award a $100,000 recreation grant to a local park that receives the most votes at LivePositively.com
We spoke with fitness guru Jake "Body by Jake" Steinfeld about his involvement in the campaign and L. Celeste Bottorff, Vice President, Living Well, Coca-Cola North America, to find out how you can get involved in this fun project.
How did you first get involved in the "America is Your Park" campaign?
Jake Steinfeld: I have been in the fitness business for 30 years and I've been urging folks to get outside and be active and have fun! So when I learned about "America Is Your Park," I knew I wanted to be involved. "America Is Your Park" is giving people the opportunity to give their favorite park a facelift and continue to be a "go to" place for families to get outdoors and play. I'm thrilled to be part of such a great initiative.
How do you think parks can help Americans to have a better quality of life?
JS: Parks offer us endless opportunities to be active, whether it's throwing a Frisbee with your kids, biking, kayaking, jogging, or just playing a game of touch football with your buddies. The recreation grant that Coke is giving will help restore and rebuild parks by funding new equipment, building new activity areas and more. This program helps ensure that parks continue to be a place everyone will want to play and be active.
What kinds of activities do you hope to see people integrating into their lives as a result of the campaign?
JS: I'm hoping the awareness raised through America Is Your Park will remind people that parks are not only a place to be active, but a great source of fun. People can make simple steps to enjoy the outdoors, like park their car farther and walk more, take their kids in the backyard instead of watching TV, go for family bike rides. Or if people are looking for more adventure, there are great parks in almost every town or city that can provide opportunities for kayaking, rock-climbing or trail running. You just need to get out there and find out what works best for you and your family.
What are some of your favorite outdoor activities, and what advice do you have for people who want to become more active?
JS: I really like playing basketball, and love getting outdoors with my family. Most mornings I go kayaking with my kids, and we go on bike rides all the time. And soon we are heading to Nantucket for a family vacation and I know we will be outdoors a lot!
My advice to people who want to become more active outdoors is to find activities you truly enjoy and are passionate about – and do them with friends and family who'll keep you motivated. If you love running, join a running club or start running with a buddy; if you and your family love the water, try a weekly kayaking outing at the park. The more enjoyable it is, the more likely you are to stick with it.
Last year's winner of America Is Your Park was Bear Head Lake State Park in Minnesota. What has that park done with the money, and how has it improved since winning?
Celeste Bottorff: The grant is being used on long overdue improvement projects including building a warming hut to ensure safety and comfort for winter sports enthusiasts all season long.
What kinds of activities do you believe parks should provide to give people opportunities to lead healthy lifestyles while having fun at the same time?
CB: What we at Coca-Cola love so much about our nation's parks is that the activity opportunities are endless. People of all ages, families, couples and individuals can all use parks to create their own active fun. It's organizations like The National Park Foundation, America's State Parks, and National Recreation and Park Association that ensure we have what we need to do these activities – jungle gyms, sand boxes, baseball diamonds, soccer fields, walking trails, etc. Our aim with America Is Your Park is to help restore and rebuild these outdoor spaces for everyone to enjoy during a time where funding is declining.
Tell us: Do you have a favorite park? (Make sure to vote for it at LivePositively.com! Voting ends September 6, 2011.) How do you get fit outdoors?

Sofoklis Venizelos
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (May 2014)
Sofoklis Venizelos (Greek: Σοφοκλής Βενιζέλος, also transliterated as Sophocles Venizelos) (3 November 1894 – 7 February 1964) was a Greek politician, who three times served as Prime Minister of Greece - in 1944 (in exile), 1950 and 1950–1951.
Life and career[edit]
Venizelos was born in Chania in Crete (then an autonomous state under Ottoman suzerainty and the protection of Russia, Britain, France and Italy). He was the second-born son of the politician Eleftherios Venizelos.
During World War I he served with distinction in the Greek Army and in the initial phases of the Asia Minor campaign, reaching the rank of Captain of Artillery.
He resigned from the Army and was elected as a MP with his father's Liberal Party in the 1920 elections.
In 1941, after Greece was occupied by Nazi German troops, he became ambassador to the United States, representing the Greek government in exile based in Cairo. He became a minister of that government in 1943 under Prime Minister Emmanuel Tsuderos, and briefly its Prime Minister in 1944 (April 13–26).
After the end of the war, he returned to Greece; where he became Vice President of the Liberal Party (led by Themistoklis Sofoulis) and a minister in the first post-war government led by Georgios Papandreou.
In 1948 he assumed the leadership of the party and became a minister in a number of short-lived liberal governments led by Papandreou and Nikolaos Plastiras; he was also the Prime Minister of two such governments.
In 1954 his longtime friendship with Georgios Papandreou was shaken, and he formed the rival Liberal Democratic Union coalition.
The rift was bridged in 1958, and in 1961 he became a founding member of Papandreou's Center Union party, which he served until his death in 1964.
He died on the passenger ship "Hellas" heading for Piraeus from Chania. His grave lies next to his father's on the island of Crete.[1]

After losing a number of players via free agency and retirement, the Baltimore Ravens suffered a huge loss before the season started when tight end Dennis Pitta suffered a dislocated hip, which has had him out through the Ravens' first 12 games. Head Coach Jon Harbaugh suggested today that Pitta might be able to play this week. The decision will made tomorrow when the Ravens have to decide to activate him to their roster. If they activate him, he will play.
If Pitta is able to come back this week, it would not be a surprise to see him eased in and get a reduced workload, but it would still be a welcome sight for quarterback Joe Flacco. Pitta has been Flacco's best friend on and off the field, so his presence would open up more passing opportunities in their offense.
The Ravens are sitting at 6-6 and still looking at a good shot at the second AFC Wildcard. They should be able to handle the Minnesota Vikings without Pitta, but would really like to have him back for their last three games against the Lions, Patriots and Bengals, so getting in the flow of things and kicking off some of the rust this week might be a good plan, if he is healthy enough to go.

Book Description:
This book is a timely and useful supplement to such basic courses as Professional Responsibility, business enterprises, and even commercial law. It may also be assigned in such classes as securities regulation, business/corporate ethics, and inside counsel. Indeed, a course in ethics for the business attorney may adopt this book as its primary source. The book uses the problem method to provide a concrete mode of analysis. This method works nicely to bring reality to the scene and energize the students. Rather than discussing abstract issues in a vacuum, the problem method in this setting enables students to apply the book's materials to real situations. The book contains material devoted, for example, to the following subjects: 1) the role of the business lawyer; 2) identifying counsel's client; 3) client-fraud dilemmas; 4) conflicts of interest; 5) role of in-house counsel; 6) related party transactions; 7) internal investigations; and 8) basics of business practice.

Writing about moving South for the winter, CIngrams makes a passing reference to transhumance, and that sets me off on another few minutes' happy diversion through byways on the Internet. I'd known about seasonal movement of herds in the Swiss Alps, but not the ancient and widespread trails through Spain that were followed well into the twentieth century. CIngrams comments, "Now it has gone for good, and good riddance. It was a very tough way to live, but seen from a distance, there is romance and beauty in it."
I wonder whether much of the fidgety irritation of comment and protest on the Internet is related to the cellular instinct in us to roam as our ancestors did. From the Great Rift Valley we wandered out and along the riverbanks and coastlines of the world, reaching Australia maybe 50,000 years ago. We must have eaten a lot of oysters on the way.
Even now, that restlessness is in the bones of bikers like Richard and Longrider. I have it, too - wanting to change house, job, get to know new people, start new projects. In a way, the nomadism hasn't gone, after all.

Glad you found it interesting. I must do a full post on it one of these days.
I travel whenever I can, to other countries, through new villages, along undiscovered paths near the places I already know. It is like breathing to me. I sometimes feel that life is being on the road, and the rest is just waiting around.

Iron Maiden Drummer Nicko McBrain's Wife Accused of Attempting to Stab Him
(Courtesy of http://ultimateclassicrock.com/) – The wife of Iron Maiden drummer Nicko McBrain was arrested and charged with domestic battery earlier this year, and she'll have her date in court next month. Rebecca McBrain will face a judge on May 3 after being accused of trying to stab her husband, and throw logs at him.
The couple live near Boca Raton, Fla., and the incident allegedly occurred at their home on Feb. 24, according to the Boca News Now. She was not successful in her attempt to stab Nicko, but the logs caused minor injuries and she was arrested and booked at the Palm Beach County Jail.
Bravewords reports that the logs were sitting in a fire pit behind the home. The 50-year-old was released on $3,000 bond, and has entered a not guilty plea.
In the early 2000′s, the couple worked together to produce Rebecca's 'Voyager' album. Nicko produced the project and drummed on all tracks in addition to writing five of the eight songs. The couple is thought to have met in 1984 at the Button South in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
Earlier this month, Iron Maiden announced seven Maiden England Tour dates in the United States.

Stuff We Like: Bedtime MathWednesday, June 19th, 2013
Can you imagine if your kid handed you a book at bedtime, and you shrugged and said, "Sorry, I'm just not that good at reading"? It sounds ridiculous, but somewhere in the world right now, there's a kid asking a question that has to do with numbers, and a parent shrugging and saying, "I'm just not that good at math."
I admit it. Those words have entered my mind, if not crossed my lips. I've got a dad who's a mathematician, and up through high school I loved math. I even considered becoming a math teacher. But math is like a muscle—stop using it and it atrophies.
That's why when a new book called Bedtime Math landed on my desk, I couldn't help but take a peek. The concept is simple: what if math became as much a part of the bedtime routine as reading? Laura Overdeck, the book's author, wants kids to feel about math "the way they feel about dessert after dinner." For a year, she's been serving up a playful daily math problem for parents to do at bedtime with their kids. I'm not talking paper-and-pencil math. I'm talking exploding food problems, slimy subtraction, and skateboard launch comparisons.
Next week, libraries and bookstores across the country will be kicking off a national pajama party where kids (more…)

The Greg Oden Dilemma
How much do you love the idea of the Miami Heat signing Greg Oden?
Oden and his agent know what everybody else does. If the Heat want to win a third straight NBA title, it might be important to get some size.
He has the size. He is willing to help. He remains very interested in signing with the Heat.
Imagine, just for a moment, what the world would look like with a healthy and fully explosive Greg Oden playing center for the Heat. Champagne would fall from the heavens. Doors would open. Velvet ropes would part. We're not talking about championships anymore. We're talking about perhaps the best team of all-time.
Oden was once the fastest center in the game. He was once the most agile. His measurables were mind-boggling. He was an athletic freak. Considered to be the next all-time great. A taller, quicker, more imposing version of Bill Russell, only with some big-time offensive skill.
But then he got hurt. First it was cartilage damage in his right knee. Then a chipped patella in his left knee. Then a full fracture of the patella. Then patellar tendinitis. Then cartilage damage. All in the left knee. Then debris in what was previously thought to be his now completely healed right knee. Then debris in his left knee.
Despite it all, he was always looking at a comeback, and teams were always going to be interested in a very real way. He remained that intriguing. But things changed considerably when it was announced in February of last year that he would undergo a third microfracture surgery to repair cartilage damage, essentially ending his 2012-13 season before it started, and the Trail Blazers finally gave into exhaustion and waived him in March. He instantly became an unrestricted free agent, with a longer comeback than ever.
But most of the league still tracked his medical updates. The intrigue would not fade. Even with the understanding that the plan all along, and rightfully so, was to return to Ohio State to take classes and rehab for 2013-14.
That's the thing. Front offices were not mocking Oden at 25 years old even if others were — which may be the greatest statement of how much they thought he could have changed the game when he came into the league in 2007. Without being able to get close to that projected level of impact, with the five knee surgeries, without having played since December 2009, front offices still continue to believe that Oden can be a dominant force.
That's why if continuing health were truly possible, Riley would be foolish not to give Oden whatever he desired. First class medical care. The best possible training program. Someone to work with him one-on-one to see it through. A personal dietitian. A roster spot. A contract. Whatever.
But if you were Riley, what type of contract would you offer?
The presumption has always been that the Heat would offer a minimum salary contract. There's no risk in doing so. The Heat is required, by league rules, to employ a minimum of 13 players. The team currently has 12 players with guaranteed contracts. Chris Andersen will likely be added and Mike Miller will likely be subtracted. That's still 12.
The Heat typically uses, at the very most, a 10-player rotation. Therefore, by definition, the Heat will need to employ at least 3 players next season who will almost never play. One of those 3 is not yet on the roster. The hope is that this player will have the cheapest possible salary. Why not, then, utilize it to offer a minimum salary contract to a player who perhaps may never be healthy enough to play (thus making him no different than anyone else who would get the spot) but who, if he were healthy, could be a game-changing talent and an ideal fit?
But what if a minimum salary contract is not enough to entice him?
Oden has reportedly narrowed his list to five potential suitors. He will choose from a group that includes the San Antonio Spurs, Cleveland Cavaliers, Boston Celtics, and Memphis Grizzlies, as well as the Heat. The other pursuers are in a less strenuous financial situation than Miami, have more available resources than Miami, and have varying incentives not to let him wind up in Miami.
The Heat already has a guaranteed team payroll of $85.7 million. They're at the high stakes medal round. They simply can't afford to make a mistake. Not when a losing bet would cost well into the eight-figures.
The concept of continued health is an idea that has never really been all that realistic for Oden. He hasn't been NBA-ready, not by a long shot, for his entire career. And though his extended rehabilitation and the massive amounts of both rest and recuperation might have changed that for the better, all that's been proven about him so far is that he is very tall, he is very talented, and his body has been unable to withstand the rigors of NBA play.
Articular cartilage damage of the type that Oden has sustained is serious stuff. It's excruciatingly painful. It can make it impossible to climb or run or even walk. It can lead to osteoarthritis down the road, and possibly a total knee replacement after that.
As of now, there is no cure. Once the cartilage is destroyed, it doesn't grow back. Microfracture surgery is among the best in a range of unsatisfactory alternatives. It works by creating tiny fractures in the underlying bone. Blood and bone marrow (which contains stem cells) seep out of the fractures, creating a blood clot that causes new cartilage to develop. Such techniques, however, form fibrocartilage rather than the original hyaline cartilage. Fibrocartilage is not as mechanically sound as hyaline cartilage; it is much denser and unable to withstand the demands of everyday activities as well as the original cartilage and is thus at higher risk of breaking down.
Oden has undergone three microfracture surgeries. No athlete has ever returned from that.
Sources close to Oden have said that he is optimistic he can return for the 2013-14 season opener. That seems to suggest he is not fully healthy even now.
If you were Heat owner Micky Arison, would you offer that kind of player the team's lone $3.2 million taxpayer mid-level exception even though it would cost you another $13 million this season alone, and substantially more than that in future seasons as the repeater tax kicks in?
The Heat reportedly lost big money when its payroll was in the $75 million range. Now it'd be getting close to the $120s.
Whichever team ultimately lands Oden, there is an alternative to consider which would provide some degree of protection in the event of a re-injury.
The protection exists in the form of an Exhibit 3 to the Uniform Player Contract.
The "Uniform Player Contract" is the contract that every NBA player executes when he signs with an NBA team. Every contract looks the same: same styling, same wording, same everything. The only thing that separates the contract of one NBA player from that of another – from, say, LeBron James and Jarvis Varnado – is the names, the dates, the signatures, and the exhibits. The exhibits contain, among other things, the individually negotiated salaries by season.
Exhibit 3 is entitled "Prior Injury Exclusion."
It reads "The Player's right to receive his Compensation as set forth in … this Contract … is limited or eliminated with respect to the following re-injury of the injury or aggravation of the condition set forth below: …"
In other words, it says that if you can't play skilled basketball due to your pre-existing injury and we waive you, we don't have to pay you. But if you remain healthy, we will gladly pay out your salary as stipulated in the contract.
It is the same language that is allowing the Minnesota Timberwolves to get out of paying Brandon Roy the salary stipulated for the second year of his two-year, $10.4 million contract executed last summer. It is the same language a smart NBA franchise is likely to give Andrew Bynum.
Sounds great!
But here is where things get tricky.
If you represented one of the five teams pursuing Oden, how much salary would you be willing to offer if it meant that you were guaranteed protection from his salary in the event of a re-injury? How much would you be willing to increase your offer and/or sacrifice your protections if it meant an ability to pry Oden away from his other suitors?
If you were Oden's agent, Mike Conley, how much salary would you be willing to give up in order to increase the guarantee? How much of a guarantee would you willing to give up in order to increase the salary? If you were to be given a completely guaranteed million dollar salary on the one hand but a completely non-guaranteed salary at more than three-times the value on the other hand, which would you take?
If you were Oden, where would you most want to play? In Miami, with a chance to play for an NBA title and the appeal of a not-so-grueling work schedule? In San Antonio, with the same opportunity? In Memphis, with your close friend? In Cleveland, next to a world-class medical facility? With the team that pays the most? With the team that can inflate your future value the most?
These are the questions that need to be answered in the days to come.
The Heat is not likely to offer Oden a mid-level salary contract, not even with an Exhibit 3 exclusion. It's simply too expensive. The most they're likely to offer is a minimum salary contract. The hope is, however he justifies it, that Oden chooses to accept it. But he'd likely need to turn down more lucrative offers elsewhere, however they may be structured, to do so.
Oden has earned $23.2 million thus far into his NBA career. With his propensity for injury, he would be wise to treat each future contract as if it could be his last. Given those circumstances, whether he is willing to sacrifice larger dollars elsewhere to join the Heat only time will tell.

Divers Against Debris Shore/Pier Clean-Up Dive
Saturday, November 8, 2014 8 - Noon
Held at Picnic Island Park Fishing Pier, Tampa Florida
(See attached Flyer for more details or call 813-832-6669 or go to adventuretampa.com, or stop by Adventure Outfitters at 4352 S. Manhattan Ave, Tampa, Florida 33611)
World Oceans Day, 8th June, is right around the corner and it's the perfect time to make strong arguments for change. All month long, Project AWARE is taking advantage of strategic opportunities to represent the voice of divers – a powerful constituency when it comes to ocean protection.
Our focus areas – sharks and marine debris – are high on the global policy agenda this month and Project AWARE aims to advocate for the ocean where and when the important decisions are made.
Cars, a makeshift toilet, a full set of golf clubs, a set of false teeth and a pogo stick. These are just some of the unusual items found by volunteer scuba divers who are helping Project AWARE offer a new, underwater view of the problem of trash – much of it plastic – in the ocean.
We've been removing debris from underwater environments together for decades but now, we're going to share what we've found with the rest of the world. More importantly, we're going to use the information to prevent the trash from our everyday lives from ending up in the ocean in the first place.
That's why Project AWARE launched Dive Against Debris in 2011. With the help of thousands of divers, debris removal efforts have stepped up and divers are actively protecting marine life including sharks and rays that can get tangled in trash.
Thousands of pieces of plastic have been discovered, submerged along the river bed of the upper Thames Estuary by scientists at Royal Holloway, University of London and the Natural History Museum.
The sheer amount of plastic recovered shows there is an unseen stream of rubbish flowing through London which could be a serious threat to aquatic wildlife. The findings, published online in Marine Pollution Bulletin, highlight the cause for concern, not only for ecosystems around the river but for the North Sea, in to which the Thames flows.
Each square kilometre of ocean around Australia is polluted with thousands of 'invisible' fragments of plastic, a new study has found, posing a potential health hazard for humans and marine life alike.
Julia Reisser, a PhD student from the University of Western Australia's Ocean Institute, and colleagues, report their findings today in the journal PLOS ONE.
Rays trapped in lost fishing nets, floating plastic bags resembling jellyfish, glass bottles and tyres covering the ocean floor are all too common a sight for scuba divers who are the first to see how devastating marine litter is underwater. Many of us pick up trash every time we dive. We organize or participate in Dive Against Debris. And between now and December 18th, you have a unique opportunity to share your opinion on how the European Union (EU) can best tackle marine litter.
In the Great Lakes, marine debris affects the beauty of our environment, is a health and safety hazard, threatens our wildlife and natural resources, and comes at a significant economic cost. From a beach covered in trash to an animal entangled in fishing line, marine debris is a problem we can't ignore. This article focuses on microplastics, a little—and little known—type of marine debris.
El Jueves 26 de Septiembre será la limpieza de playa de Pichidangui en el contexto del "Día Internacional de Limpieza de Playas". Adicionalmente el sábado 28 realizaremos un Project Aware, limpiando algunos sectores del fondo marino de Pichidangui.
There is no easy way to tackle the issue of marine litter: it is complicated and has many causes, impacts and inputs. As a high percentage of marine litter comes from land based sources, EU legislation is possibly the best way to address the problem and look for solutions.

Oracle is continuing to simplify the look and feel of its Fusion Applications, including with a new skin inspired by Apple iOS 7, as the vendor ramps up marketing efforts around its application portfolio.
The changes come as part of the eighth update to Fusion Applications, which first became available in 2011 after a lengthy development process.
[ InfoWorld dishes on must-have iPad office apps, essential Android productivity apps, and road warrior standbys. Start downloading! | Get the latest insight on the tech news that matters from InfoWorld's Tech Watch blog. ]
Release 8 "includes an updated look-and-feel to all pages," according to an official Oracle blog post this week. "The design reduces perceived visual clutter with minimized use of shading, gradients, and borders. Specific design changes includes a focus on current UI visual design trends, such as a flatter, cleaner display (think iOS 7)."
Oracle is calling the applications' new skin Skyros, after the Greek island. Skyos takes advantage of the latest standards in cascading stylesheets and is less dependent on images than the previous skin, which was called FusionFX, "improving speed, flexibility and consistency," the post adds.
Support for existing FusionFX will continue "at least until Release 9" of Fusion Applications, according to the post.
Oracle conducted extensive usability testing for Fusion Applications prior to their launch. The applications span from ERP (enterprise resource planning) to CRM (customer relationship management), with some 100 modules in total available.
Oracle has publicly tempered expectations for Fusion Applications sales, stressing that customers now running its E-Business Suite, J.D. Edwards, PeopleSoft and Siebel software suites can adopt them gradually at a pace of their own choosing.
But Constellation Research has been receiving between 15 and 20 percent more inquiries about Fusion Applications since Oracle began ramping up its marketing efforts in this area early last year, said Ray Wang, chairman and founder of the analyst firm.
Release 8 also brings updates to Fusion's Simplified UI, which is aimed at helping casual users complete simple and common tasks quickly.
The new features include better social network integration, a "getting started" section and more dashboards, according to the blog.
Oracle needed to provide user experiences catering to both power and casual users, according to Floyd Teter, senior project director at Io Consulting and a well-known expert on Fusion Applications.
"The original Fusion user experience was a great move forward when originally released," Teter said via email Thursday. "'Tell me what I need to know, what to do about it, and who can help' was a powerful approach at the time. But, as always, the market changes. What was effective a few years ago is no longer so effective. The new approach is really best described as "tell me what I need to know, what I need to do, and make it easy."
Oracle has done a lot of research on how their customers work since the release of Fusion Applications, "and most don't really need the feature-laden original UX," Teter added.

That's pretty much just how it worked out, and I gave a date range that reflected what was on each mix, rather than giving a generic "1980 forward" range (the ranges are slightly different on each mix). XTC's "Travels in Nihilon" (1980) was one of my last cuts, as was Eyeless in Gaza's "Letters to She" (1982)—I'm glad you brought them up, actually! They are really good, and their last album, 2006's Summer Salt was one of my favorites that year ("Where Vivid Bloomed" is among my favorite tracks).
Echo & PIL both makes sense to me in this context—I love the irony of PIL-as-prog-inheritor, too. There has to be someone who could do a more comprehensive stroll through modern bands that self-identify as prog artists, too. I know so few, and honestly, a few that I do know, like Spock's Beard and Echolyn (both of which are American), do nothing for me.

Twin Sister – Lady Daydream
Lovin' this live session video of Twin Sister performing what's probably my favorite tune of theirs. The harmonies are reaaaally nice, no?—
In less than 3 hours, Toro y Moi recorded piano, drums, bass, guitar, rhodes, and vocals (in that order) for this live re-make of "You Hid," tracking each instrument once and rarely asking to hear what was just recorded…Watching him build this song from scratch was like watching an architect re-sketch blueprints for a skyscraper from memory.
