Expand Messages
- Kathryn,
Good report. I didn't see any EDIT in your LTR although there is a weird A character in front of your Field Report heading. Would you please take a look at that?
Same as the last report. A summary is needed with your positives and negatives.
Once you have made the changes and added a summary please upload to the folder.

No association of vitamin D intake or 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels in childhood with risk of islet autoimmunity and type 1 diabetes: The Diabetes Autoimmunity Study in the Young (DAISY)
ABSTRACT The aim of the study was to investigate the association between vitamin D intake and status and the risk of islet autoimmunity (IA) and subsequent type 1 diabetes in children at increased risk of type 1 diabetes.
The Diabetes Autoimmunity Study in the Young (DAISY) in Denver, CO, USA, has been following children at increased risk of diabetes since 1993. As of February 2011, 198 children developed IA during follow-up of 2,644 DAISY children. Vitamin D intake and plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] were measured longitudinally. Proportional hazards regression analyses of time to IA, or type 1 diabetes in IA-positive children, were conducted, with vitamin D intake and 25(OH)D as time-varying covariates. HRs were calculated for a standard deviation difference in exposure, with adjustment for confounders.
Intake of vitamin D was not associated with the risk of IA (adjusted HR 1.13; 95% CI 0.95, 1.35; p = 0.18) nor progression to diabetes in IA-positive children (adjusted HR 1.30; 95% CI 0.91, 1.86; p = 0.15). Moreover, 25(OH)D level was not associated with the risk of IA (adjusted HR 1.12; 95% CI 0.88, 1.43; p = 0.36), nor progression to diabetes in IA-positive children (adjusted HR 0.91; 95% CI 0.68, 1.22; p = 0.54). In the 128 children in whom we measured 25(OH)D at 9 months of age, 25(OH)D was not associated with risk of IA (n = 30 IA-positive children) (adjusted HR 1.02; 95% CI 0.96, 1.07; p = 0.58).
Neither vitamin D intake nor 25(OH)D levels throughout childhood were associated with the risk of IA or progression to type 1 diabetes in our population.

- "Polymorphisms in both the VDR and the gene that encodes 1α hydroxylase, CYP27B1 are associated with T1D risk [67-69]. Two Northern European cross-sectional studies have shown an inverse relationship between vitamin D supplementation in infancy and T1D incidence [65,70], but the DAISY Study found no relationship between 25 OHD levels and risk of islet autoimmunity or progression to T1D [71]. Population 25 OHD levels have fallen over the last 50 years with urbanisation, avoidance of or less access to sunlight, decreased intake of oily fish and a lower recommended daily intake of vitamin D. In Australia, vitamin D insufficiency is common in pregnancy [72]. "
Article: Environmental determinants of islet autoimmunity (ENDIA): a pregnancy to early life cohort study in children at-risk of type 1 diabetes[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The incidence of type 1 diabetes has increased worldwide, particularly in younger children and those with lower genetic susceptibility. These observations suggest factors in the modern environment promote pancreatic islet autoimmunity and destruction of insulin-producing beta cells. The Environmental Determinants of Islet Autoimmunity (ENDIA) Study is investigating candidate environmental exposures and gene-environment interactions that may contribute to the development of islet autoimmunity and type 1 diabetes.Methods/design: ENDIA is the only prospective pregnancy/birth cohort study in the Southern Hemisphere investigating the determinants of type 1 diabetes in at-risk children. The study will recruit 1,400 unborn infants or infants less than six months of age with a first-degree relative (i.e. mother, father or sibling) with type 1 diabetes, across five Australian states. Pregnant mothers/infants will be followed prospectively from early pregnancy through childhood to investigate relationships between genotype, the development of islet autoimmunity (and subsequently type 1 diabetes), and prenatal and postnatal environmental factors. ENDIA will evaluate the microbiome, nutrition, bodyweight/composition, metabolome-lipidome, insulin resistance, innate and adaptive immune function and viral infections. A systems biology approach will be used to integrate these. Investigation will be by 3-monthly assessments of the mother during pregnancy, then 3-monthly assessments of the child until 24 months of age and 6-monthly thereafter. The primary outcome measure is persistent islet autoimmunity, defined as the presence of autoantibodies to one or more islet autoantigens on consecutive tests. Defining gene-environment interactions that initiate and/or promote destruction of the insulin-producing beta cells in early life will inform approaches to primary prevention of type 1 diabetes. The strength of ENDIA is the prospective, comprehensive and frequent systems-wide profiling from early pregnancy through to early childhood, to capture dynamic environmental exposures that may shape the development of islet autoimmunity.Trial registration: Australia New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry ACTRN12613000794707.BMC Pediatrics 08/2013; 13(1):124. DOI:10.1186/1471-2431-13-124 · 1.93 Impact Factor
- "Cod liver oil in infancy has been inversely associated with type 1 diabetes (10), which could reflect a protective effect of one or more of the major constituents of cod liver oil, i.e., vitamin D and the omega-3 fatty acids derived from fish, including EPA and DHA. Vitamin D or genetic variations of the vitamin D receptor may protect against inflammation and autoimmunity (28); however, studies focused on type 1 diabetes have yielded mixed results (29,30). Unexpectedly, in our longitudinal analyses, baseline plasma vitamin D was significantly inversely associated with follow-up FCP. "
Article: Nutritional Factors and Preservation of C-Peptide in Youth With Recently Diagnosed Type 1 Diabetes SEARCH Nutrition Ancillary Study[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE To test the novel hypothesis that nutritional factors previously associated with type 1 diabetes etiology or with insulin secretion are prospectively associated with fasting C-peptide (FCP) concentration among youth recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Included were 1,316 youth with autoantibody-positive type 1 diabetes who participated in the SEARCH for Diabetes in Youth study (baseline disease duration, 9.9 months; SD, 6.3). Nutritional exposures included breastfeeding and age at introduction of complementary foods, baseline plasma long-chain omega-3 fatty acids including eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), vitamin D, vitamin E, and, from a baseline food frequency questionnaire, estimated intake of the branched-chain amino acid leucine and total carbohydrate. Multiple linear regression models were conducted to relate each nutritional factor to baseline FCP adjusted for demographics, disease-related factors, and other confounders. Prospective analyses included the subset of participants with preserved β-cell function at baseline (baseline FCP ≥0.23 ng/mL) with additional adjustment for baseline FCP and time (mean follow-up, 24.3 months; SD, 8.2; n = 656). FCP concentration was analyzed as log(FCP). RESULTS In adjusted prospective analyses, baseline EPA (P = 0.02), EPA plus DHA (P = 0.03), and leucine (P = 0.03) were each associated positively and significantly with FCP at follow-up. Vitamin D was unexpectedly inversely associated with FCP (P = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS Increased intake of branched-chain amino acids and long-chain omega-3 fatty acids may support preservation of β-cell function. This represents a new direction for research to improve prognosis for type 1 diabetes.Diabetes care 07/2013; 36(7):1842-1850. DOI:10.2337/dc12-2084 · 8.42 Impact Factor
Article: The relationship between vitamin D and the renin-angiotensin system in the pathophysiology of hypertension, kidney disease, and diabetes[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Vitamin D has been implicated in the pathophysiology of extraskeletal conditions such as hypertension, kidney disease, and diabetes via its ability to negatively regulate the renin-angiotensin system (RAS). This article reviews the evidence supporting a link between vitamin D and the RAS in these conditions, with specific emphasis on translational observations and their limitations. A literature review of animal and human studies evaluating the role of vitamin D in hypertension, kidney disease, and diabetes was performed. Excess activity of the RAS has been implicated in the pathogenesis of hypertension, chronic kidney disease, decreased insulin secretion, and insulin resistance. Animal studies provide strong support for 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3)-mediated downregulation of renin expression and RAS activity via its interaction with the vitamin D receptor. Furthermore, the activity of vitamin D metabolites in animals is associated with reductions in blood pressure, proteinuria and renal injury, and with improved β-cell function. Many observational, and a few interventional, studies in humans have supported these findings; however, there is a lack of well-designed prospective human interventional studies to definitively assess clinical outcomes. There is a need for more well-designed prospective interventional studies to validate this hypothesis in human clinical outcomes.Metabolism: clinical and experimental 11/2011; 61(4):450-8.

See It to Believe It!
The capital of Japan, Tokyo is a vast, teeming metropolis nestled between mountains and Tokyo Bay. It's so huge that you'll have to come to grips with public transport and maybe even experience being pushed onto a train. Yes, it does actually happen!
Get your bearings by ascending the Tokyo World Trade Center near the waterfront, and savor the fantastic views taking in the red-and-white Tokyo Tower and Shinkuju's skyscrapers. North is Ueno, home to the best museums (including the Tokyo National Museum) and a large park bursting with cherry blossom in spring.
Equally tranquil are the Chiyoda Imperial Palace and Gardens, surrounded by water. Also in gardens is the Meiji Jingu Shinto shrine in Shibuya, a youthful district where neon abounds.
For more traditional Japanese culture, head to Asakusa whose Sensō-ji Buddhist temple is Tokyo's oldest temple. Outdoor markets sell a variety of wares, though shopping in Tokyo is, of course, fantastic wherever you go.
Whether you stay in a Japanese ryokan, luxury Tokyo hotel or a hostel, don't fly out of Tokyo Narita Airport or Haneda Airport without having tried sushi. Another Japanese institution is the sento (public bath) and onsen (hot springs bath) – a must try. Also incredibly popular are Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea, Asia's 2 most visited theme parks.

Walt Whitman called Lillie Langtry the essence of poetry. James Whistler confessed that even he couldn't capture her beauty in a painting. And George Bernard Shaw declared her intelligent, daring, and independent. In a BAFTA-winning performance hailed by critics, the incandescently beautiful Francesca Annis (Madame Bovary, Reckless, Cranford) portrays the acclaimed British actress and courtesan from the blush of youth to still-glorious old age. At a time when society expected women to be docile and demure, Lillie posed for celebrity endorsements, conducted her own business affairs, and paid her first husband to keep his distance. Even more scandalously, she openly entertained a string of lovers among Europe's elite, including the very married Prince of Wales all while managing to win the respect and admiration of his wife. With its splendid cast and exquisite production elements, Lillie vividly captures the complex woman who became one of the most infamous figures of the Victorian age.

New year detox in Dubai
We test three top treatments to get you feeling well again Discuss this article
- Picture 1 of 2
The Norwegian Detox Treatment
A 90-minute treatment consisting of a body exfoliation, detox mask and full-body massage, this treatment claims to release toxins, smooth the skin and rejuvenate the mind.
The experience: The treatment begins with a long, thorough massage that concentrates mainly on applying a great deal of pressure to key points. It feels as though several litres of oil have been poured over my body, but it leaves my joints feeling supple and stress-free. Next up is an extended (and slightly disorientating) stint in a steam room, where the two main treatments take place. Lying on a bed, the body exfoliation feels a bit like having industrial-strength face wash rubbed the length and breadth of my body. Once this is rinsed off, a seaweed mask is doused all over, leaving my skin tingling. Note that potential customers will need to be comfortable with being treated (and touched) all over, which may deter more conservative guests.
The result: I leave feeling clean, relaxed and de-stressed, although I'm not sure how much internal detoxification took place.
Reviewer: Rob Garratt.
Dhs350 for 90 minutes. Chocolate by Jelena, Al Das, Shoreline Building 10, Palm Jumeirah (04 437 6001).
The Ultimate Detoxification Therapy
This three-stage treatment offers a detox exfoliation and body wrap, which promise to restore the skin's pH balance and 'coax away toxic impurities'. This is followed by a comprehensive full-body massage to aid lymphatic drainage.
The experience: The initial exfoliation, using chunky, minty salt, is surprisingly wince-inducing and abrasive (note to self: don't shave legs before a body scrub). The therapist administers an efficient, enthusiastic buffing to ensure all dead skin is banished, then soothes my chafed limbs by applying a tingly mint-infused mask to draw out more toxins. As I'm cocooned in a plastic sheet, my skin feels as though it's coated in Vicks: a strange minty chilliness envelops me and I'm left almost shivering. After jumping in a blissfully hot shower to rinse away the mask, my therapist spends up to an hour massaging away my aches and pains until I fall into a gentle slumber.
The result: After the treatment I find I'm surprisingly sprightly: my skin is softer and smoother, my complexion more radiant, and I feel less lethargic.
Reviewer: Rebecca Milford.
Dhs975 for 120 minutes. The Spa at The Palace, The Old Town, Downtown Dubai (04 428 7805).
Antioxidant Tea Massage
Beginning with a soft brushing to stimulate the lymphatic system, an antioxidant black tea balm soothes while a massage aims to banish toxins and reduce fluid retention.
The experience: My 'tea-tox' begins with a foot scrub in warm water using black tea and sea salt. Then, as I inhale the scent of black tea, cardamom, cinnamon and ginger, my skin is brushed thoroughly, followed by mild kneading, flicks, strokes and knuckle-pressing. The warm black tea balm, which is also infused with fiery spices, heats me up then cools me down, wreaking havoc with my body temperature. It feels odd, but is ultimately refreshing and soothing. Then it's into the relaxation room to drink a pot of black tea with blended spices.
The result: After the treatment I find myself sweating profusely and struggling to sleep. I'm assured that the quantity of caffeine in the oils is too minimal to affect the overall body systems, but this is definitely not a massage to have just before going to bed.
Reviewer: Melanie Smith.

ProFootballTalk: What does Trestman bring to Bears?
Marshawn Lynch expected back this week for Panthers game
The Seahawks found out they could still run the ball without Marshawn Lynch, but they'd still rather be with him.
According to Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times, the Seahawks expect Lynch to return to the lineup Sunday when they face the Panthers, after he missed two weeks with a hamstring strain.
Rookie replacement Thomas Rawls ran for 169 yards in last week's loss to the Bengals, which is the most yards for a Seattle back in a single game since Shaun Alexander went for 201 against the Packers in 2006.
"Normally, Marshawn comes in and out pretty regularly, so we'll just pump [Rawls] in there and see how many carries that amounts to,'' Carroll said. "Usually it's about eight or 10 carries on a regular game. We'll see how that goes. …
"We're going to feel real comfortable about him in the two spot, coming in off the bench. There's no reason for him not to play, he's done a great job for us, and I would say he's probably exceeded our expectations at this point.''
An undrafted rookie averaging 5.6 yards per attempt will generally exceed expectations, but it also gives the Seahawks some hint of what life after Lynch might be like. They still leaned on veteran Fred Jackson late in the game, but Rawls has done an impressive job behind what has been a shaky offensive line this season.
Rex: Tyrod Taylor is "beat up right now"
Bills quarterback Tyrod Taylor's legs helped save the day in Nashville on Sunday as he reeled off several big runs in the second half to bring the Bills back for a 14-13 win over the Titans.
At the end of one of those runs, Taylor was dragged down from behind by linebacker Zach Brown on what the officials ruled was a horse collar tackle and had to leave the game for a play after he was slow to get back to his feet. Blows like that have left Taylor nursing some wounds as this week gets underway.
"I can tell you this: He is beat up right now," Ryan said, via the Buffalo News. "He's sore. You ought to see him — he is sore. We knew he would be. Guys, he hasn't been 100 percent all season.We all know he finished the game, but we'll see how he's doing. We'll be looking at him throughout the week and everybody else that we have. He's sore now, I can tell you that much."
Taylor was listed on the injury report before Week Four because of an ankle issue that Ryan says dates back to training camp, but he wasn't on the injury report last week at all. Based on Ryan's Monday comments and the league's rules about injury reporting, it seems like a good bet that he'll wind up on the report this time around.
Tom Brady on pace for NFL's first 5,500-yard passing season
It wasn't that long ago that a 5,000-yard season in the NFL was an extraordinary achievement. But now 5,000-yard seasons are a regular occurrence in the NFL, and Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is heading toward the next milestone: 5,500 yards.
Brady has 1,387 yards in four games, an average of 346.8 yards a game that puts him on pace for 5,548 yards this season. If Brady keeps his current pace, he'll have the first 5,500-yard season in NFL history.
For years, the record for passing yards in a season belonged to Dan Marino, who threw for 5,084 yards in 1984. The 5,000-yard season at that time was a huge accomplishment, and Marino's record stood for 27 years. But now there have been eight 5,000-yard seasons, and the number doesn't seem as special. The current record belongs to Peyton Manning, who passed for 5,477 yards in 2013.
Brady may make 5,500 yards the new benchmark for great passing seasons.

Pete Carroll admits Michael Bennett "lost his mind a little bit" when attacking Andy Dalton
Sunday's loss by the Seahawks to the Bengals included a moment in the first half when Seattle defensive lineman Michael Bennett went after Cincinnati quarterback Andy Dalton following a turnover, hitting him three times and drawing a flag.
"He just lost his mind a little bit and went after the quarterback too aggressively," coach Pete. "I'll tell you this, in the old days in interception returns that was kind of the style that you go after the quarterback and you tried to get a shot on him. That was like back in the sixties. Unfortunately, it was a real mistake."
Yes, it was a real mistake. And Bennett is going to pay for it. And it won't be in 1960s dollars.
Which means he'll have less money to purchase a substance that would mellow him out a little — you know, a substance he's banned from using but that he can legally purchase in Washington and that he can smoke without consequence as long as he's not in the program and has already had his annual substance-abuse test.
Report: Falcons "uncertain" about Julio Jones for Thursday
The Falcons filed an injury report after holding a walkthrough on Monday and they listed wide receiver Julio Jones as out because of hamstring and toe injuries.
Jones has been a regular on the injury report in recent weeks and dropped from being probable in Week Four to questionable for Week Five's game against the Redskins. Jones played, but the quick turnaround to playing on Thursday could make this week more problematic.
Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the Falcons are "uncertain" about whether Jones's hamstring will be well enough for him to play when the team takes on the Saints. Jones said after Sunday's game that he expected to play even though he won't be 100 percent.
"I know you can't play this game 100 percent," Jones said, via ESPN.com. "It's very rare that you can be able to play this game at 100 percent. You can do one thing; you can't do both: You can't pray and then worry at the same time. I pray, and that's it. And then I just go play. Whatever happens, happens."
Tuesday will bring an actual practice for the Falcons and a chance to see if Jones will participate, although his importance to the team probably means a full session isn't a prerequisite for being in the lineup in New Orleans.
Philip Rivers: We have no time to feel sorry for ourselves
Losing a game the way the Chargers lost on Monday night is the kind of thing that can linger for a team.
The Steelers offense couldn't do anything for much of the night, but the Chargers kept them in the game with turnovers, a missed field goal and their own inability to consistently move the ball on offense. Then their defense cracked in the fourth quarter on a long pass to Markus Wheaton and a 12-play, 80-yard drive that culminated in Le'Veon Bell's winning touchdown as time expired.
It's a painful way to lose a game, but one that the Chargers were focused on moving past as quickly as possible after the game. Safety Jahleel Addae said they can't let the Steelers beat them twice in reference to the shortened week that will take the Chargers into a game at Lambeau Field next Sunday and quarterback Philip Rivers echoed that sentiment.
"Every loss is tough," Rivers said, via the team's website. "This one came down to the last play … talk about being a game of inches, it was just that. If we made a few plays here or there, it may have been different. But it isn't, and shoot, we've got no time to mope around and feel sorry for ourselves because the place we're going next week, it's going to be an even tougher challenge."
Thanks to a slew of injuries, the date with the Packers would loom as a very tough one even if Bell had been ruled down short of the end zone. Bell wasn't, however, and the Chargers will be trying to shake off the loss while trying to figure out a way to avoid dropping to 2-4 next weekend.
Dan Campbell's latest trick: Changing the seating chart
In his latest attempt to "change the culture" of the Dolphins, interim coach Dan Campbell has started with changing the seating chart.
Among the other changes the roaring new boss of the Dolphins has made, he shuffled the locker room over the bye week, putting players together by positional groups, according to Adam Beasley of the Miami Herald.
"I went to my spot and Zach Vigil was in there," tight end Jordan Cameron said. "I was like, 'What is this guy doing?'"
It's a bit of a corny trick designed to foster some intramural camaraderie, and when the next coach lets players intermingle again, it'll be sold as "having the team come together as one."
But Campbell's down there running Oklahoma drills in practice and saying brash things, so let's let him have fun with it while he has the chance.
Of course, a more fundamental change for the Dolphins would be not falling behind early, as they've been outscored 37-3 in first quarters, which has forced them to throw more than they want to play catch-up.
"Two things have to happen: Either we have to get off to a fast start early or if you do end up a little bit behind, you have to stop the bleeding somehow, whether it's on offense or defense," Campbell said. "We can't continue to live in the world we've been living in. That's the bottom line."
And until they can build a new foundation, they can at least rearrange the furniture.
Andrew Luck says he was able to practice "without limitations"
Whatever the Colts did in practice yesterday, quarterback Andrew Luck was a full participant in it, as far as you know.
And if you were looking for more clarity from Luck himself, it wasn't there either.
"It feels better every day," Luck said after whatever he did, via Stephen Holder of the Indianapolis Star. "It was great to go through practice without limitations, in a sense, and get out there and throw. It was better."
That "without limitations" part is probably the key if we're parsing, which we're kind of forced to do with coach Chuck Pagano has adopted a cloak-and-dagger approach to the topic, saying he's had "supreme confidence" each of the last two weeks, while Luck has missed those games with a shoulder problem.
"It was good. It's another step in the right direction," Luck said of his work. "It's always fun to get out and practice on a beautiful day and prepare for a great team coming to town."
Oh, yes, the opponent. With the Patriots coming to town Sunday night, there's naturally a little more interest, based on that whole thing that began with last year's AFC Championship Game.
"Every game is important," Luck said. "This certainly is a big game. It's the next game. And it is a very, very good team that's undefeated coming into town. There certainly is a history between us and them, but it's also a new year."
We now leave you to dig into those words for more clues, and track Josh Johnson's plane, to see if it's coming or going from Indianapolis today.
Mike Tomlin on late call: "It was time to go to the mattresses"
Sometimes coaches rely on game film or great coaches of the past for inspiration.
Steelers coach Mike Tomlin, however, leaned on another classic film, quoting Sonny Corleone last night for his decision to aggressively play for the win.
Asked about his decision to run for the game-winning touchdown rather than kick a potential game-tying field goal on the road, Tomlin quoted a line from "The Godfather."
"It was time to go to the mattresses," Tomlin said, via Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Of course, it was also a pragmatic decision to hand the ball the Le'Veon Bell.
After all, with quarterback Ben Roethlisberger hurt and his kicking position a revolving door of mishaps this year, it's reasonable for Tomlin to not trust either Michael Vick or Chris Boswell with the game on the line.
"We did what was required to win," Tomlin said. "Guys just didn't let go of the rope."
The Steelers had a timeout in their pocket, but putting Bell in the Wildcat formation and letting him do it himself was still risky, but the kind of risk that players anticipated.
"I think we would have all been stunned if they sent the field goal team in," tight end Heath Miller said.
Not as stunned as hearing Tomlin quote a movie that was released the year he was born, but stunned nonetheless.
Report: Shareece Wright set to sign with Ravens
The San Francisco 49ers obliged in releasing cornerback Shareece Wright on Saturday. Now they'll get to see him lining up in another uniform this weekend.
According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, Wright is going to sign with the Baltimore Ravens, who just happen to be playing the 49ers this Sunday.
Wright didn't play in any of the first four games of the season for the 49ers and asked to be released by the team. That wish was granted on Friday and Wright began free agent visits with a stop in Indianapolis on Monday.
However, the Ravens apparently providing a more appealing option with an opening on the roster due to the loss of Will Davis for the year to a torn ACL.
Wright started 27 games for the San Diego Chargers over the last two seasons.
NFL says it didn't request suspension of Twitter accounts over copyright violations
Hours before the NFL found itself in the middle of a controversy regarding clock operation, the NFL found itself in the middle of a controversy regarding the operation of certain Twitter accounts.
The popular account for the website Deadspin.com was suspended temporarily by Twitter based on complaints filed by the NFL under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. The league contends that it did not request that any accounts be suspended.
"The NFL sent routine notices as part of its copyright enforcement program requesting that Twitter disable links to more than a dozen pirated NFL game videos and highlights that violate the NFL's copyrights," the league said in a statement forwarded to PFT and other media outlets. "We did not request that any Twitter account be suspended."
The NFL also forwarded a copy of the notice sent to Twitter. It makes no mention of suspension of the offending accounts. Per the NFL, Twitter received similar notices from other sports leagues and conferences, including UFC and the Big 12.
Still, Twitter's zeal may be related to its content and advertising deal with the NFL.
At the heart of the fight is whether copyright laws permit short video clips, known as GIFs, to be disseminated under the "fair use" concept. The NFL, which zealously protects its intellectual property rights (indeed, if those rights are actively enforced, they can at some point be forfeited), believes that the republication of any portion of game footage violates copyright laws.
NFL not commenting on clock error near end of Steelers-Chargers game
The NFL avoided another Monday night mess, thanks to Pittsburgh's ability to drive the length of the field and score a touchdown with 2:38 on the clock. But even though the outcome of the game wasn't affected, a mess quickly has emerged.
The clock inexplicably ran for 18 seconds after a kickoff went out of the end zone, with 2:56 becoming 2:38 before the clock stopped running.
According to Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com (who is reporting on the issue at a time when ESPN, which broadcast the game, has still said nothing about it on the air), the NFL has declined comment on the issue.
Mike Pereira of FOX Sports, a former NFL V.P. of officiating, points out via Twitter that the league office hires local people to operate the clock during the regular season. Non-locals are used only during the playoffs.
The NFL surely can't hide from this one for long. Too many people have noticed it, even as the network that broadcast the game continues to not mention it on the air.
Steelers' touchdown avoids another NFL officiating controversy
If the knee of Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell had struck the ground before the ball broke the front of the plane of the goal line, the NFL would have faced a second straight Monday night officiating controversy.
On a night when plenty of Steelers fans were in San Diego, the clock operator apparently wasn't waving a Terrible Towel. The kickoff from the Chargers following a 54-yard field goal that put the home team up by three sailed out of the end zone with 2:56 to play. And when the play ended the clock inexplicably started to tick, with a total of 18 seconds bleeding off before stopping at 2:38.
That's based on the clock shown at the bottom of the ESPN screen. At one point, Steelers quarterback Mike Vick is seen walking onto the field, and the game clock can be seen running in the background from 2:48 all the way to 2:38, at a time when the clock should not have been running.
No one noticed it at the time. Not the officials, not ESPN.
Well, not everyone at ESPN. Producer Jason Vida tweeted about it, calling it a loss of 24 seconds. The correct number seems to be 18.
Either way, it would have been a major mess for the NFL if the Steelers had failed to score on the final drive due to the clock running out. It should still be a mess for the league and ESPN, because someone should have noticed it and done something about it before the Steelers took their first snap after the kickoff.
Le'Veon Bell last second TD run gives Steelers win over Chargers
Le'Veon Bell took a direct snap from center in a wildcat formation, leaped over a fallen defender and scored from 1-yard out on the final play of the game as the Pittsburgh Steelers grabbed a 24-20 victory over the San Diego Chargers on Monday night.
After a 16-yard pass from Michael Vick to Heath Miller moved Pittsburgh to the Chargers 1-yard line with 5 seconds remaining, the Steelers elected to go for the game-winning touchdown instead of the tying field goal. The Steelers had one timeout left but wouldn't have been able to stop the clock if Bell was stopped short.
Bell extended the ball over the goal line as time expired to give the Steelers the victory.
Antonio Gates caught two touchdowns in his first game back from suspension as the Chargers tried to hold onto the late lead. Josh Lambo's 54-yard field goal gave the Chargers the 20-17 lead with just under three minutes left to play.
Vick led the Steelers on an 12-play, 80-yard drive to win the game. Vick completed a third down pass to Darrius Heyward-Bey to move the chains, scrambled for a 24-yard gain and then hit Miller to move to the Chargers' 1-yard line. Due to a personal foul on San Diego, the clock stopped with five seconds to play and the Steelers didn't have to use their final time out, which gave them the hope of running a play and then the potential game-tying field goal if necessary.
Instead, Bell's run would have taken too long and the game would have ended had Bell not broken the plane of the end zone.
Antwon Blake pick-six gives Steelers lead over Chargers
Cornerback Antwon Blake undercut a throw intended for Malcom Floyd and returned the interception 70 yards for a touchdown to give the Pittsburgh Steelers a 10-7 lead over the San Diego Chargers.
With Pittsburgh's offense struggling to move the football, Blake's interception provided a different way into the end zone.
The Steelers have been unable to drive inside the Chargers 25-yard line as both offense have struggled to find points.
Antonio Gates, in his first game back from suspension, has the only points for San Diego.
Steve Spurrier retires, effective immediately
Long-time college football coach Steve Spurrier, a former NFL quarterback who failed in two years as the head coach in Washington, has retired from coaching. Per multiple reports, the retirement is effective immediately.
Spurrier, once atop the perpetual "A" list with a sense that a jump to the NFL from the University of Florida was inevitable, accepted an offer to coach Washington in 2002. He generated a record of 12-20 through 2003, ruffling the feathers along the way of colleagues he chided regarding the workaholic culture of pro coaching.
"I saw a story saying [former Saints coach] Jim Haslett comes in at 4:30 every morning — that's not doing him much good," Spurrier said at the time.
Spurrier retires at a time when nothing is doing him much good at South Carolina, the school he has coached since leaving Washington. Some have suggested that, given the timing, Spurrier isn't retiring but quitting. Unless there's a health-related reason for the decision, that's probably a fair assessment.
And it should be a lesson for every college football player. If coaches are going to quit during the season or, more commonly, bolt from the program for a better offer elsewhere, players should start putting their own interests first, too.
Whether that means sitting out for that third year after high school before become eligible for theNFL draft or withdrawing from school after suffering a knee injury and focusing on rehab and preparation for the draft or simply walking away for the final games of a lost season, cognizant that participating in a handful of meaningless contests will do nothing to enhance the player's draft stock and everything to jeopardize it, there's nothing wrong with making that kind of decision — even if the coach and everyone else connected to the university will try to make the player think there is.
Steelers lose safety Will Allen with ankle injury
As the Steelers try to keep the Chargers from adding to their 7-0 lead, they'll have to do it without their starting strong safety.
Will Allen suffered an ankle injury in the first quarter of Monday night's game in San Diego. The Steelers have announced that he's out for the rest of the game.
The injury could give safety Shamarko Thomas a chance to get back in the coaching staff's good graces. The presumed heir apparent to Troy Polamalu, Thomas has lost his starting job. A dumb penalty near the end of the quarter, hitting Chargers punt returner Jacoby Jones after a fair catch, could cause Thomas to lose his position on special-teams, too.
Bobby Wagner, Jordan Hill injured Sunday for Seahawks
Sunday's blown lead in Cincinnati for the Seahawks included a couple of potentially significant injuries.
On Monday, coach Pete Carroll said that linebacker Bobby Wagner has a strained pec, and defensive tackle Jordan Hill has a strained quadricep muscle.
"It looks like Jordan might be [out] a couple weeks," Carroll told reporters. "I don't know about Bobby yet."
The Seahawks host the 4-0 Panthers on Sunday, followed buy a short-week trip to Santa Clara to face the 49ers. Given that the Panthers have a habit of playing the Seahawks close (January's 31-17 loss in Seattle wasn't as lopsided as the score suggested), the Seahawks will need Wagner, who returned a fumble for a touchdown against the Bengals.
Hill has performed well this year, providing valuable depth when Brandon Mebane was injured.
Antonio Gates is back, scoring his 100th touchdown
It didn't take Chargers tight end Antonio Gates long to make an impact in his return from a PED suspension.
The Chargers threw three passes to Gates on their first offensive possession tonight against the Steelers, and Gates caught all three of them, the last one for a touchdown.
That touchdown was the 100th of Gates's career, moving him into a tie with Hall of Famers Steve Largent and Tim Brown for seventh place on the all-time receiving touchdown list. Gates is 11 touchdowns away from No. 6 Tony Gonzalez, who is first among tight ends.
Some, like Hall of Fame tight end Shannon Sharpe, would argue that Gates's PED suspension tarnishes his legacy. But based purely on his on-field accomplishments, there's no doubt that Gates has left a legacy as one of the finest tight ends ever to play the game.

HOLLYWOOD: El Capitan to screen Disney classic 'Black Cauldron'October 4th, 2015, 12:01 am BY TIMOTHY GUY
With dark themes and scenes of violence, "The Black Cauldron" isn't the average Disney animated film made in the '80s.
In fact, some would say the story about a group of friends seeking a magical item of power was ahead of its time. Just look at its rating: PG. That was a big deal in 1985 in a world of G-rated films.
The film will screen in a small release at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood Thursday, Oct. 15 through Sunday, ...Read the rest of this entry»

The latest string of social media initial public offerings (IPOs) is fast creating a select handful of fantastically wealthy company founders and early stage investors. The financial headlines are full of details. The coming IPO of Facebook is estimated to put founder Mark Zuckerberg's net worth in the neighborhood of $20 billion, give or take a few billion dollars. LinkedIn's chairman Reid Hoffman is worth around $2 billion thanks to a recent IPO, and while he looks poor in comparison to Zuckerberg, he has enough excess capital to survive for many lifetimes.
The list goes on. Zynga's founder is now worth close to $2 billion while Pandora's CEO owns an estimated 3% of the firms market capitalization of $1.75 billion for an estimated worth of $52.5 million. Early stage investors in these firms are also doing well. Early Facebook investors tried to sell billions in stock a year ago when the implied value of the firm was closer to $70 billion. They may have lost out as the total IPO value is being pegged above $100 billion, but this still means huge wealth creation in just a few years.
Regular Folks Getting Rich
What gets less coverage is that a multitude of everyday employees are getting rich from the social media IPO wave. The Facebook IPO is expected to create in excess of 1,000 millionaires, many of whom came to work for the networking wonder story by sacrificing current salary for huge upside potential via company stock and related stock options. A recent article in the San Francisco Chronicle even detailed a Korean artist who was hired to paint murals in Facebook's office and chose stock instead of cash for his work. The savvy move was estimated to earn him $200 million once the IPO takes place.
Again, Facebook is hogging the headlines because of the scale of wealth creation it is generating for those associated with its beginnings. But other unexpected millionaires include around 30 investors and employees associated with LinkedIn. Around a dozen initial investors and employees from Pandora have shared in the largesse brought by the IPO. Zynga went so far as to detail that it could see its competitive edge decrease from its new class of wealthy employees who might be less inclined to log long hours creating its popular games now that many are now worth millions. The risk also exists for Facebook, as roughly one third of its 3,000 employees will soon be rich.
These fears could be overblown. Past tech IPOs from the likes of Google, which at the time of its IPO had around 1,900 employees, have done just fine even though many employees struck it rich and broke out on their own to either enjoy their new wealth or commit the capital to their own start-up venture. The same goes for employees of Apple over the past decade - some of whom have enjoyed the gains of a stock that has risen from $10 to more than $500.
The Bottom Line
These unexpected individuals now have some interesting decisions to make with their windfalls. Mark Cuban is a prime example of how to diversify one's wealth prior to the bursting of a bubble. He famously minimized his exposure Yahoo shares after the firm acquired his Broadcast.com for more than $5 billion, saving himself billions as Yahoo plummeted after the dotcom bubble burst. Others may choose to sit tight, in hopes that their respective social media firms continue to grow sales, and eventually grow profits for the benefit of all new shareholders.

THE FOOD THEME WAS CHOSEN BECAUSE THE NORTHSIDE IS A FOOD DESERT AND IN NEED OF A GROCERY AND SOURCES OF FRESH FRUITS AND VEGETABLES. PRIMED PANELS WILL BE PROVIDED AS WELL AS LATEX PAINT. BRIGHT COLORS ARE ENCOURAGED. PANELS MUST BE PAINTED ON THE DAY OF MURAL FEST SUNDAY, APRIL 26TH 12-5 (RAIN OR SHINE) ON THE MLK PROMENADE. THE DESIGN OF THE FINISHED ASSEMBLED MURAL WILL BE SIMILAR TO THIS SEGMENTED MURAL IN FLORIDA (see attached flyer)
Southern Tier Solar Works (STSW), a program of the Binghamton Regional Sustainability Coalition (BRSC), is launching Solarize Southern Tier East (SSTE), to bring solar energy to our area. SSTE offers homeowners and small businesses a path to energy savings that are fixed, predictable, and long-term.
The SSTE campaign will serve Broome, Tioga, Chenango, Delaware and Otsego Counties, and will partner with three competitively-selected, installer partners—Astrum Solar, ETM Solar/TAITEM Engineering, and Renovus Energy—with the goal of doubling existing residential solar in the five counties. The SSTE 2015 campaign is a limited-time initiative designed to incentivize "going solar" with the help of a streamlined site-assessment process and group discounts. Online enrollment will run thru June 10th. Early enrollment and contracting is rewarded through higher State incentives and earlier installations. Registration and all program information will be available at: www.southerntiersolarworks.org.
The public will have 10 weeks to enroll during this campaign. The more people who sign up, the lower their cost becomes. Installations will begin this summer, with most completed before winter of 2015. Financing is available through NYSERDA's Green Jobs Green New York program and through select banks and credit unions.
Two program launch events and more than 30 community meetings, brown bag lunches, and solar home tours across the five-county region – all free and open to the public – will give participants opportunities to learn what it takes to go solar.
Solarize programs jump-start regional solar markets, lower price volatility and bring energy independence to our communities. By increasing our energy efficiency and our use of renewable energy sources, New York can become a national leader in the clean energy economy. Solar power is the most plentiful, free, and constant source of energy on our planet.
Don't be left out! Be a part of an energy future that will benefit our entire society—from local job growth, to lower energy costs, to the improved health and well-being of our communities. Come to a Solarize Community Meeting this spring!

Contrary to Widespread Opinion Shale Fracking May Not Have Been Banned in New York
It is a huge mistake in politics to declare victory before you are absolutely certain that you have won. The applicable rule is "trust, but verify." That is why we must clarify the Cuomo administration's recent landmark decision to prohibit shale fracking in New York. When the New York State Department of Health (DOH) released A Public Health Review of High Volume Hydraulic Fracturing (HVHF) for Shale Gas Development on December 17, 2014, it was widely reported that shale fracking had been banned in New York.
Unfortunately, the fact of the matter is that we do not know that for certain. The Public Health Review recommended that Shale fracking "should not proceed in New York," but we do not know if it will be banned for good. This is a critically important distinction for reasons explained below. The Public Health Review report makes no mention of banning shale fracking or enacting any kind of permanent shale fracking prohibition. You can read the report for yourself: When the Cuomo administration announced the Public Health Review, no shale fracking ban was declared by Governor Cuomo, Health Commissioner, Dr. Howard A. Zucker, or Environmental Conservation Commissioner, Joe Martens. You can watch the meeting in its entirety: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTJn16lKyN4
What Does the DOH Public Health Review Actually Recommend?
The Public Health Review simply concludes on page two: "Until the science provides sufficient information to determine the level of risk to public health from HVHF to all New Yorkers and whether the risks can be adequately managed, DOH recommends that HVHF should not proceed in New York State (emphasis added)." Unfortunately, the Public Health Review does not say how long shale fracking "should not proceed in New York" or how authorities in our state should determine that "the science provides sufficient information to determine the level of risk to public health from HVHF to all New Yorkers and whether the risks can be adequately managed..." After all our incredible hard work, these extraordinarily important questions cannot be left to chance and must be fully resolved before it is too late. That is why I write today.
Preventing Adoption of an Inadequate Final SGEIS is More Important Than Ever
DEC Commissioner Martens stated during the cabinet meeting that the Public Health Review findings and recommendations would be implemented by adopting a Final Supplemental Generic Environmental Impact Statement (SGEIS). We have no idea what is going on due to a total lack of openness and transparency about the scope of the Final SGEIS. Nevertheless, it could be released any day. Extreme caution is warranted in this matter because the SGEIS was originally intended to permit shale fracking in New York State. That is made perfectly clear by its title: "Well Permit Issuance for Horizontal Drilling and High-Volume Hydraulic Fracturing in the Marcellus Shale and Other Low-Permeability Gas Reservoirs." In short, it is imperative that we prevent any Final SGEIS from being adopted until we are certain that it would translate the Public Health Review's critically important findings and recommendations into public policy reality. In addition, shale fracking must not be permitted by the Final SGEIS until all of the documented concerns about that proceeding are fully resolved.
Read a formatted alert: http://toxicstargeting.com/MarcellusShale/alerts/2015-03-14/urgent-shale...
That is the purpose of our latest self-explanatory coalition letter: http://toxicstargeting.com/MarcellusShale/letters/2015/3/14/coalition-le...
For more than five years, the New York Marcellus Shale campaign has focused on preventing adoption of an inadequate Final SGEIS that could greenlight shale fracking. Achieving that goal is more important than ever. The Public Health Review notes: "Based on this review, it is apparent that the science surrounding HVHF activity is limited, only just beginning to emerge, and largely suggests only hypotheses about potential public health impacts that need further evaluation (emphasis added)." See page one. At a minimum, we must make sure that no shale fracking is allowed in New York: "Until the science provides sufficient information to determine the level of risk to public health from HVHF to all New Yorkers and whether the risks can be adequately managed..." If that onerous requirement can be enforced, shale fracking might not be permitted in New York for decades to come, if ever. If the Cuomo administration actually bans shale fracking by adopting a permanent, legally binding prohibition, so much the better.

The Pi Day of the century, 3.14/15 is only a little over a week away. For a time now Pi Day has been all about fun and of course pie, but with the way in recent years, science and even reality itself have come more and more under attack, I'm thinking maybe this year it's time for Pi Day to emerge as something more than just fun.
For so much of our history, the people of our country and the world have benefited greatly from the science-based reality that has shaped America's future. Science may be based on numbers, but science's actual value is in its humanity. It's beyond doubt that through science and the honest representation of reality our lives have become safer, healthier and happier.
Yet today the very science that has done so much to reduce suffering in our lives is now under attack. From the climate, to vaccines, to Wisconsin's own Governor Walker's belief that there are more votes in denying evolution than there are in embracing it, clearly somewhere something has gone very wrong. There is more than enough blame to go all around for how we got here, but maybe this is one of those times that where we are is not nearly as important as where we need to be.
Maybe rather than a debate of our differences, what we need is a celebration of what we share. We think Pi Day could grow into just the holiday we need. There really is no time to lose to get on to celebrating the truth of science-based reality and the math behind it. And there is also no time better than now to get back to celebrating the kindness, compassion and the nurturing nature of our shared humanity that has always been behind the very best that science has brought to our lives.
In Pi, the number is all the value and beauty and wonder that is at the heart of the reality science holds. In the gift of a good slice of pie, the desert is all the kindness and compassion that our shared humanity encompasses. Pi Day really is ready to become so much more. And could there be a better day to relaunch Pi Day as the holiday we truly need than 3.14/15; the Pi Day of the Century?
While billionaires buy their own islands at $15 million a clip to park their yachts, the top 10 hedge fund managers only pay 15% tax on their $12 billion(compared to 70% in the past) while you pay 20% if you are lucky to make $40,000, or you may have lost your home in the mortgage debacle or from your health care bankruptcy. Citigroup with $6.4 B and J.P. Morgan with $17.2 B in 2013 paid NO taxes. The MAKERS are all on Wall Street along with the banks like HSBC who laundered money to dodge taxes while George Will's TAKERS wait in the food line for over an hour. What George does not tell you(Press Jan 22) about his policy wonk Nicholas Eberstadt is that he is funded by the neoconservative American Enterprise Institute, a right-wing, pro-business think tank. Even though George and Eberstadt state the growth in their 'welfare state' occurred to those who were 'means- tested' (which means they qualified by the Puritanical hoop they jumped), they blame it on a lack of personal character. And where do the CEOs of the media empires who spread the greed message take responsibility? The wealthy do not like it that the paupers picked up their cocaine habits and want one of their tvs. Even though 80% of the middle class has awoken to the lack of jobs sent overseas and that the bill was sent to them, these economists will not take the responsibility for these policies and the income inequality, instead they cry foul. The lower-skilled workers have known this for 25 years as the manufacturing jobs vanished. Instead they should tell the capitalists to make more jobs. The gall of dumping people on charity and then blaming them. The playing field is not fair nor level. "Privilege is not knowing that you're hurting others and not listening when they tell you."—Dashanne Stokes So how does the trickle down of greed play out locally? Foremost it began with shallow giveaways to millionaire developers that pay no taxes and then leave town while local four-unit landlords had a 30% tax increase. Then came raising the bus rates. The lack of a seat and your claustrophobia does not matter. More rural Tioga lost bus service. Further proof we are eliminating human services was the closure of the County mental health clinic. Some private providers already closed the intake door, other mentally ill are jammed up waiting months for treatment. Even though you do not know them, someone who cannot afford their medication lurkes in the health care shadows. The proposed TPP will extend monopoly drug patents for pharmaceutical giants maintaining high prices. And will the poor elderly be easily visited by their family and protected by local accountability in the County nursing home or tossed aside like the mentally ill? Heed the words of John Adams: "Government is instituted for the common good; for the protection, safety, prosperity, and happiness of the people; and not for profit, honor or private interest of any one man, family, or class of men.."

PrestaShop Uncovers the Future of Mobile Commerce
See the 5 Comments
If you were to take all the smartphones purchased in 2011 and place them together end to end, they would circle the earth more than eight times. That's nearly 462 million smartphones!
The world of online sales is booming. But perhaps what's more impressive is the growth of the m-commerce market. According to comScore, 4 of 5 consumers use smartphones to shop. And in 2012, worldwide mobile payment transactions will surpass $171.5 billion, up 62% from $106 million last year.
These figures project a bright future for the m-commerce market, but what will it look like two years from now? Are mobile devices really the way of the future?
In an effort to answer these questions, PrestaShop experts spent days conducting research, analyzing data and compiling results. What we've discovered we gladly share in our latest infographic, "Measuring the Future of Online Retail."
Results: Not only are young people using mobile devices to shop online, older generations are also getting involved. Did you know that 53% of all mobile users from the age of 35 to 44 use their devices make online purchases?
Today, nearly 45% of all e-commerce merchants have adapted a mobile interface. This means more than half of the world's online merchants have yet to create mobile extensions of their online store(s). Why is this important? Imagine for a second how big the m-commerce market would be if every online merchant went mobile.
So what does it all mean?
In an effort to keep it simple, m-commerce is the way of the future. As technology grows, so does the market for mobile retail. So if you've yet to create a mobile extension of your online store, now's the time!

great infographic
Brent says:
Am I looking at this wrong? If you add both percentages of mobile users above from 22-34 and 35-44 years of age, it's stating that those users make up 115% of the mobile usage…I think the numbers are incorrect…
Bryan Shaw says:
Those numbers represent the percentage of mobile users (within each age group) that use mobile devices to shop online. In other words, 62% of all mobile users between the ages of 22-43 use mobile devices to buy products.
Researching mcommerce says:
AMAZING infographic. I wonder who will end up the "facebook" of mcommerce…google wallet has been really slow to start up!
