One of the many side effects of menopause is digestive problems that can interfere with your daily life. Among the indigestion, constipation and cramps, you also have to battle a constant feeling of being full of hot air.
Although abdominal bloating is a bothersome symptom, you don't have to simply wait it out. If you get moving, chances are the gas trapped inside you will too. One of the best ways to relieve digestive problems is to do yoga, and the best part is, you don't even have to stand up to do this workout. Read on for more info.
The Basics
There are a few pointers to keep in mind as you ready yourself for the workout. Remember to where comfortable, loose-fitting clothing. (No spandex, ladies!) Also, you should never try to do yoga immediately after eating, even if your full stomach is the reason you're bloated in the first place.
The Poses
These positions focus on your digestive organs, which will make them great poses for relieving your bloated tummy.
Start with the Hero Pose, a Common Yoga Posture
You'll need a yoga mat and a stack of folded blankets for this one. Adapt a traditional kneeling position, except spread your legs out to give your buttocks room to touch the floor. (If this position is uncomfortable, use the stack of blankets to support your buttocks.) Place your hands on top of your knees, with your palms exposed. Sit tall, elongating your spine, and breathe deeply. Hold this pose for a maximum of two minutes.
For the Head-to-Knee Bend
Begin by sitting on the floor with your legs extended flat in front of you. Bend your left leg and gently pull it in until your left foot is tucked into your right thigh. Then, stretch your arms upward, elongating the spine, before bending at the waist so that your face is pressed into your right leg. Hold this pose for one minute, and then switch legs and repeat.
Lastly, Try the Sitting Twist
This pose will also begin with you sitting on the floor with both legs stretched out straight in front of you. Bend your right leg so that your right heel is tucked beneath your buttocks and your right knee extended to the right. Then, bend your left leg and bring it across the right leg, using your right arm to cradle it. Place your left hand on the floor for support, and twist your torso to the left. Maintain this pose for ten to 15 seconds, and then switch sides.
The Results
All of these poses will aid in healthy digestion, which will not only reduce the creation of new gas but encourage existing gases to move speedily through your digestive tract.
More Information about Digestive Problems during Menopause
When estrogen declines during menopause, it allows the body to increase its production of cortisol, which slows digestion. Click the following link to learn more about digestive problems during menopause.

I am looking for all finite groups $G$ such that for each subgroup $H$ of $G$ and each automorphism $\sigma$ of $H$ there exists an automorphism $\psi$ of $G$ whose restriction to $H$ is $\sigma$. Is there any reference on this problem?
These groups are called the groups of injective type. It is known that nonabelian finite groups of injective type have even order.

Too Much Radiation From Full-Body CT Scans?
Electronic Checkups continued...
"The idea is to replace annual physicals with this noninvasive test, which might detect things you wouldn't usually see -- like a small tumor, or the beginnings of heart disease," he says. "It has the potential for seeing things -- mainly cancers -- rather earlier than they might otherwise have been detected."
James P. Borgstede, MD, chairman of the American College of Radiology's board of chancellors, notes that the ACR does not sanction the use of full-body CT scans for screening healthy people. He notes, however, that the ACR doesn't censure doctors who perform the procedure.
"I think the people who get these scans are the worried well," Borgstede tells WebMD. "They are very concerned about health but tend to be very safe, low-risk people. They think they will live longer or have a better-quality life if they get these scans, I guess. But there is no data that support they will live longer or better if they have one of these exams."
Richard L. Morin, PhD, chairman of the ACR's commission on medical physics, says that given lack of an established benefit, the risks Brenner identifies raise doubts about screening healthy people with full-body CT scans.
"This paper is important in demonstrating explicitly that the risk from whole-body CT or any other diagnostic radiology exam is not zero," Morin tells WebMD. "It supports the thinking that screening whole-body CT scans of healthy individuals is not a wise course of action."
Borgstede and Morin note, however, that the risk/benefit equation changes for patients with symptoms who need CT scans to help diagnose a disease. These patients' symptoms usually tell the doctor that a particular part of the body should be scanned. Full-body scans, Borgstede says, usually aren't needed.
"We support clinical trials of CT screening for lung and colon cancer -- but those are studies of selected populations we think may be at risk of very serious disease," he says. "That is different from screening the whole population from head to toe. These screenings are planned only for the body area at risk."

Diazepam (Valium) was administered intravenously to 26 patients with varying degrees of prolonged, uncontrolled seizure activity. The seizures were terminated rapidly in 16 cases and less satisfactorily in 10. Patients with acute, rapidly progressive cerebral disorders were most resistant to treatment. Concurrent electroencephalographic monitoring demonstrated in 13 of 18 tracings that diazepam quickly suppressed the spikes. Intramuscularly administered follow-up doses of diazepam, used with other anticonvulsants, assisted in the maintenance of control. Intravenously administered diazepam is an excellent short-term anticonvulsant with relatively few adverse reactions. It is often effective after large doses of other parenterally administered anticonvulsants have failed to establish seizure control.

Congrats to the young lady, please don't become a poor statistic by getting
in an accident, Don't text... But have a great time!!!
Why didn't they have that when I was a kid, I had perfect attendance in 7th, 9th, 10th and 11th grades. I think I made up for it as a Senior, but was already accepted to BYU so attendance at school wasn't a priority at age 17.
Why miss school, the only allure for me was "The Price is Right". When friends missed school, I always asked if the the watched it.

I would much rather see this sort of prize given for academic achievement, not for keeping a seat warm. A student who works hard to bring his grade up to an A from a C, despite missing a few days of school due to flu, is in my opinion more deserving of this sort of reward than someone who was lucky enough not to have to take any sick days. (These are examples; I have no personal knowledge of any of the students at Hunter.) Of course, the donors can direct their prizes how they wish.

@Western Rover: one reason for this program was because Hunter HS found out last year that students who averaged fewer than 20 period absences in a quarter were, on average, having .25 F grades. Those with 30 period absences were earning 4.5 F grades per quarter. Do the math. If students are at least keeping a seat "warm" they stand a better chance of passing their classes then if they don't show up. First rule of life is to "show up". From there they hope to have students improve their grades.

EJM, I agree that missing 20 more more days of school each quarter is hardly conducive to learning. On the other hand, I took and passed six AP tests during my four years of high school, yet I had at least one sick day each year. I would not have had a shot at that car, had such things been offered in my time. No, I'm not bitter. ;-)

Here's why. Because kids, just like adults, don't do what is what expected of them. If they did, both kids and adults, we wouldn't have jails. With that said, if a car donation gets one kid, or ten kids, to change their habits and start passing classes by attending school more regularly, tell me what is bad about that?

Murtha vs. Bush
John Murtha beats the crap out of George W. Bush over at the Huffington Post.
This March will mark the beginning of the 4th year of the war in Iraq. In contrast, U.S. involvement in WWI came to an end after 19 months. Victory in Europe was declared in WWII after 3 years 5 months. In the Korean War, a cease-fire was signed after 3 years and 1 month. But after more than three and a half years into the war in Iraq, your administration finally produced what is called a "Plan for Victory" in Iraq.
It's a long letter, but worth the time.

Top of the Third
Granted, King Felix probably faced tougher lineups in the Pacific Coast League than this Royals team, which has lost 15 straight entering the game, but he fans five of the first nine batters and I think Joe McEwing just swung at one heater as catcher Yorvit Torrealba was throwing it back to the mound. And seeing McEwing in the lineup is a reminder that although it has been a painful year for the Mariners, rooting for the Royals must be proof that all our sins haven't been forgiven.
Top of the Fourth
Ambres fans, looking again at another curveball. He didn't see pitches like that in Triple-A.
Mike Sweeney -- hey, a Royal you've actually heard of! -- is thrown out on another spectacular play by Betancourt, who fields a chopper behind second base and somehow manages to fling it sidearm as he crosses over to the shortstop side of second. An amazing play. I think the Mariners have their shortstop of the future. Please let him learn to hit a little, too.
King Felix finishes the inning fanning Emil Brown on a 97-mph sinking fastball. Yes, you read that correctly: a 97-mph pitch at the knees.
What's been impressive is that Hernandez has had strikeouts on four different pitches: a straight power fastball on the inner half, the curve, a fastball on the outside corner, and a sinking fastball.
The first four innings are played in 53 minutes. The King gets the ball, the King throws the ball; confident, even-keeled, with little facial expression and no wasted energy. Get the ball, throw the ball. Strike three, you're out.
Top of the Fifth
Allow a short rant against Mariners management: They've been a complete and utter disaster the past couple of seasons, the anti-"Moneyball" approach to building a team. They overpaid for mediocre vets like Scott Spiezio, who is still on the roster despite just two hits on the season (that's not a typo; he's 2-for-45). They had nobody to play shortstop. They call up and send down catchers twice a week. Adrian Beltre, the first huge-money free agent signing in club history, has been a colossal flop, with a .260 average, .300 on-base percentage and $11.4 million salary. Bret Boone woke up one night in April, discovered his bat speed was gone, and never found the Jason Giambi medicine in his locker. Willie Bloomquist is hitting second tonight. A pitcher with a 6-12 record tested positive for steroids, leaving Mariners fans wondering why he couldn't have at least been good. They started the season with an $86 million payroll, ninth-highest in the majors, and were so bad, despite spending more than $100 million on free agents Beltre and Richie Sexson, they decided to gut the roster midseason and start over with a bunch of kids.
So, you see, we're rooting for King Felix because we need King Felix.
Not to add pressure on him.
It's 1-2-3 in the fifth and Hernandez introduces Mark Teahan to his third pitch ... an 86-mph changeup. Think about that for two seconds. Hernandez throws some 96-mph gas, one of which Teahan breaks his bat on, on a pitch that was a foot outside, and then throws three straight changeups. Teahan somehow lays off the first two but can't hold back on No. 3.

ABC News: 'Scientists Say Human-Caused Climate Change Is … Creating More Heat Waves, Droughts And Intense Downpours'
A very good ABC News story from last week:
Here's the transcript:
And once again tonight, flooding, tornadoes, hail, and fire as the nation takes another punch from mother nature and climate. ABC's Clayton Sandell shows us what the weather and climate are doing and what it's costing us.
Reporter: This tornado spotted near dix, nebraska.
Just part of a weather juggernaut today pounding the plains and midwest. In minnesota, 60-mile-an-hour winds flipped big rigs. And were powerful enough to destroy a trailer in south dakota, killing a woman inside.
In Boscobell, Wisconsin, eight inches of rain flooded half the town. Today, as fires continue ravaging the west, there's not enough rain. Thousands of firefighters plus a fleet of aircraft are adding to the growing cost of weather disasters.
In 1980, $58 billion. By last year? Extreme weather and climate costs nearly doubled to $110 billion.
377 people were killed. Hurricane Sandy's tab? 65 billion.
Drought and heat waves, another $30 billion. Fighting the black forest fire here in colorado has already cost more than $10 million. And that doesn't even count the cost of more than 500 homes that burned to the ground.
Scientists say human-caused climate change is already helping shift the planet's natural balance. Creating more heat waves, drought, and intense downpours. A stormy and expensive reality, that's already on our doorsteps.
Hell and High Water is here.

This video is also on YT (not playing for me from the ABC website – not even on their website)
We hang like dogs around the main stream media table,
waiting for crumbs of truth to fall off,
so we can lap them up.
Death Valley resident Mike Wood says he's used to the heat. But when his running shoes begin to melt, he starts to pay attention.
"The ground temperatures here can approach a hundred degrees so you're talking about pretty much boiling the shoes … everything that kind of holds the shoe together kind of comes apart," Wood said.
Wood hit the pavement running despite temperatures that hit 127 degrees on Saturday — the hottest point on Earth for the day. The National Weather Service is predicting another high near 127 (53 degrees C) for Sunday as a record-setting heat wave bakes the Southwest into the work week.
Already, the hot spell has set records in cities such as Phoenix (119 degrees) and Lancaster, California (111 degrees). Las Vegas tied its record high of 115 degrees Saturday.
Civic and emergency officials throughout the Southwest say if there was ever a time to worry, this would be it. The reason isn't just the oppressive heat that is plaguing the region: It's the fact it is expected to hang around, and possibly even get worse, over the next few days. http://edition.cnn.com/2013/06/30/us/southwest-heat/index.html
I did not checked but you need to be extra carefully when ozone levels are bad at the same time…
Today levels are for the most part still moderate http://airnow.gov/
The 2003 heat wave in Europe has been so devastating because of high Ozone levels + the high temperature. The problem is that with Global Warming, ground level ozone becomes worse too.
I don't think there is anything remarkable about these recent high maximum temperatures in the Americans southwest. We should be focusing instead on the overnight lows. Supposedly it is higher overnight lows that are responsible for the increased average temperatures in the US. The media of course is going to focus on the hottest temperature because of the associated human discomfort but the figureprint of global warming is more likely to be seen by charting data on overnight lows. Of course one would have to take the heat island effect into consideration for overnight lows, and also for the maximum temperatures as well.
Heat strains the power grid in California http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/06/30/heat-wave-southwestern-united-states/2476675/
You need to look at the broader picture, which is a composite of lows/highs temps, energy consumption and things like the rate of temp change. And in the aftermath of extensive events the time temps change – swing.
I guess there is a pattern emerging which is contributing to the assumption that weather tends to get more erratic.
Jet stream to blame for erratic weather http://www.timesrecordnews.com/news/2013/jun/29/jet-stream-to-blame-for-erratic-weather/

UK wildlife and nature hit hard by erratic weather
A wet winter and cold, late spring have affected both flora and fauna – and gardens. How long will the summer last? http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2013/jun/28/wildlife-nature-weather-summer-gardens
Here are a couple of opinions on found on this:
"It is typical to have extreme temperatures this time of year," said Anton Haffer, the National Weather Service's chief meteorologist for Phoenix.
Haffer said in a telephone interview that in 15 years of forecasting here, he doesn't recall a summer when new record highs weren't set. There's a good reason why: Reliable records for U.S. weather data go back only to 1895. Many dots remain to be placed under the bell curve of this country's temperatures.
Another way to put the current heat wave into perspective:
"While many daily record temperatures have been set, there have been relatively few monthly or all-time records noted in the Southwest," said John Leslie, a public affairs officer for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), which is the weather service's parent organization.
"While this region is unarguably in the midst of a significant heat wave, spells of very hot weather are not uncommon during the summer months," Leslie told LiveScience.
We are not going to get too worried until the air conditioning stops. Which could be this week.
The IPCC predicted exactly that in their very first report in 1990. What has changed in our behavior since then? NOTHING!
Start a run on generators Rab, or better, learn how to keep your place cool without the dreaded air con, ME
'Rab Burns'? I most certainly hope not!
When I went to visit friends in Phoenix, AZ last summer, I was hoping for it to cool down one night. But it was after 1am and the temperature STILL read 100º. It's all the concrete and asphalt that they continue to lay down, as more people move there, that just hold the heat like a sponge. And the developers keep knocking down buildings to build more parking lots. Sigh.

GAO discussed the history, costs, and current status of space nuclear thermal propulsion programs being developed by the Department of Defense (DOD) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) with support from the Department of Energy (DOE). GAO noted that: (1) DOD and NASA are pursuing separate approaches to develop space nuclear thermal propulsion programs; (2) the DOD program differs in the manner in which the nuclear fuel is packed in the reactor, while NASA technology involves the use of a nuclear fuel encased in rods; (3) DOD conducted its work on the nuclear thermal rocket propulsion system under a classified program called TIMBERWIND, managed by the Strategic Defense Initiative Organization (SDIO); (4) SDIO terminated the TIMBERWIND program in fiscal year 1991 and the Air Force assumed program management responsibilities under the Space Nuclear Thermal Propulsion Program (SNTP); (5) the SNTP program's purpose is to increase lift capabilities by 200 to 400 percent over current chemical rocket engines using a particle bed reactor; (6) SDIO spent $131 million on the TIMBERWIND program and the Air Force has requested about $38.9 million for FY 1993 and plans to spend the same through 1996; (7) NASA is considering SNTP for its space exploration requirements, but has not contributed funds from its budget and believes that the Nuclear Engine for Rocket Vehicle Application (NERVA) deviate systems could be available sooner; (8) NASA spent about $3.5 million in 1992, and has requested the same amount for 1993; and (9) DOE designs, produces, and delivers nuclear power sources from fuel to complete reactor assemblies.

Italy Approves One in Six Solar Projects Seeking Permits
Italy's renewable-energy regulator approved 507 commercial and utility-scale solar parks, or about one in every six projects seeking permits for the first half of next year, as spending limits curb market growth.
Projects with 682 megawatts in total capacity qualified for feed-in tariffs, or premium rates for solar power, after applying to the country's second registry for solar parks, the Gestore Servizi Energetici said today on its website. More than half of this capacity has already been built and connected, the data show.
A further 2,548 projects weren't approved because of a 150 million-euro ($196 million) spending cap on subsidies for the period, according to the regulator.
Italy, the largest solar market after Germany, reduced subsidies and set up a registry system in May to limit spending after high rates and falling panel prices led to runaway growth. Almost 12,000 megawatts have been connected to the country's grid, compared with only 3,500 megawatts at the end of 2010, GSE data show.
A total of 831 solar projects with a combined capacity of 1,050 megawatts were approved in July as the initial registry allotted 300 million euros in tariffs for the remainder of 2011. A third registry is planned to allocate 130 million euros for projects in the second half of 2012.
Spending Cap
"It is likely that there won't be any budget left to open a third registry," Federico Brucciani, a spokesman for the Gruppo Imprese Fotovoltaiche Italiane lobbying body, said by phone. "The law sets a limit of 6 to 7 billion euros in total spending for solar feed-in tariffs and we expect this will be reached by June next year."
The spending cap affects rooftop projects larger than 1 megawatt and ground-mounted projects of more than 0.2 megawatt, as well as smaller installations on the ground without net metering.

Farmer's markets in the area could sport empty shelves when it comes to produce this spring.
Due to the warm weather allowing fruit to develop early and the snaps of cold freezing temperatures one expert said we could see a lack of locally grown fruit.
"The more developed that fruit is the less of the cold temperature they can take and I think as a result of the last few freezes we probably won't see any plums, probably won't see any local peaches, pears, all those and it's really really affected the apple crop too."
Huston said it's still too early to say that they won't see any apples because some grow later in the season and may be able to survive. However, wind machines that move the air and heat pots may not work this time.
"Those are good for not too low of temperatures and not for long extended periods of time. When we have two/three hours of below freezing there's not a lot of technology out there," explained Huston. "You can't fight mother nature."
Huston said farmer's will be able to get disaster payments if they have insurance to cover some of the loses, but he adds farmer's rather have the crop.

Hi Patrick, excellent time in Krakow. Hopefully I will be back in Europe soon.. Regards, Karl
Love the IYP guides too! Great tip of the Panorama bar :) I only ever spent 2 hours in Warsaw between trains. So I guess I should revisit one day.
I love the In Your Pocket Guides too. Excellent beer research!
I have always wanted to see Poland, and your tips just prove to myself that I am really right!;)
Happy birthday. Nice nitespot tips you have here ;-)
I like your nightlige tips and I especially liked Piekarnia!!!
Some really nice tips here & snaps of Old Town, After Prague I want to explore EE a bit more
Looks like Warsaw has entered the new age! Comprehensive page with useful info & good pictures. Enjoyed my virtual tour
Thank you Patrick for great page about my hometown! India Curry is one of my favourite restaurants in Warsaw. Greetings from Maria.
Great tips for a great city. Sounds like the city is maturing nicely into the 21st century. In '91 & '98 it was a little transitional. Then the Hotel taxis were more dependable & the locals often scammed us. This city deserves good reviews. Thx...Tom

All signs are pointing to the future for Mosgiel - at least
it is hoped that will be true come tomorrow.
The Mosgiel and Districts Lions Club has applied for about
$3000 to begin the renovation of Mosgiel's ''Pearl of the
Plain'' sign and nearby information kiosk, past president and
project convener John Bone says.
The club has applied to the Dunedin City Council for the
funding and the outcome of the application is expected to be
known tomorrow.
While the club only intended to renovate the existing sign at
present, it was hoped the project could ''get the ball
rolling'' on the modernisation of the sign and relocating the
information kiosk near the railway station, Mr Bone said.
''Mosgiel is growing and we need to reflect a modern Mosgiel
and where it's going.''
The club did not have plans for the new sign's design but it
was hoped ''brightening up'' the existing sign would generate
interest from the public.
The sign was on land owned by Meridian Energy and any major
changes would require the permission of the New Zealand
Transport Agency, he said.

Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
9th inning dramatics at Wrigley and the Cubs have won 2 of 3. You probably don't want to go any farther back than that though.
@Cubs 3 - Cardinals 2; That certainly was an unexpected win, but let's first take a look at the expected. Garza gives up just 2 ER over 7 innings against a slightly depleted Cardinals lineup (no Berkman or John Jay). Garcia of course answers against a depleted Cubs lineup (no injuries, just by their very nature). Now to the surprises, Garza made a decent play on defense, laid down a sacrifice bunt and the team did not commit any errors. There were some adventures on the basepath, Castro getting picked off by Garcia and then 8th inning weirdness with Campana that worked out for the Cubs. Campana singled with 1 out and representing the tying run in the 8th. I missed the DeJesus at-bat unfortunately, so I don't know if he attempted to run off the lefty Garcia. But Matheny brought in the righty Boggs to face Barney and the Cardinals knew Campana would be running. He did on a 1-2 count and they called the successful pitchout and Molina delivered a strike, but Greene couldn't handle the throw and Campana ended up with the bag and then for good measure took third as well. It was all for naught in that inning, but fun to watch. To the 9th, Motte made quick of Soriano's slowing bat with 98mph heat. LaHair though battled to the tune of 12 pitches, fouling off all kinds of crazy pitches before working a walk. Soto followed with a walk of his own and Sveum went with Clevenger as the pinch-hitter for Dolis. He managed to advance the runners and now with 2 outs and runners on 2nd/3rd, Sveum lets Mather hit with Stewart on the bench against the righty Motte. Not the call I would have made, but Mather came through with the winning hit. I have no idea if Motte used up all his mojo up on LaHair's at-bat, but things certainly turned with that epic at-bat. Winning is fun.
Memphis 6 - @Iowa 2; Iowa played earlier in the day and you can see the recap in the game thread below, so no reason to repeat myself.
@Tennessee 5 - Chattanooga 4 (12 innings); This is an interesting one. Jonathan Mota started in left field, taking over for Ty Wright whom was promoted to Triple A when Campana was called up to the majors. Mota homered and then got credit for the win with a scoreless 12th inning. Mota for his minor league career entering tonight has played the following positions: 300 @SS, 130 @3B, 114 @2B, 15 @RF, 12 @ CF and 4.2 innings as a pitcher since 2008, so it wasn't completely new to him. Elliot Soto also had a multi-hit game with a double and a triple and Watkins had 2 RBI's. Dallas Beeler started and went 5.2 IP/4 ER/8 H/2 BB/ 3 K/1 HR. Justin Bour had the game-winning hit, singling in Nate Samson.
Lakeland 7 - @Daytona 2; A tough draw for Daytona as they got highly touted Jacob Turner for some reason (I presume some sort of rehab assignment as it was his first appearance of the year). Turner went 4 innings, giving up 0 hits, 2 BB's and 0 K's. Zach Cates got the start for Daytona and gave up 3 ER in 4 IP on 6 H/1 K/ 0 BB. Larry Suarez got roughed up for 3 ER in 2 innings of work to put the game out of reach. Richard Jones and John Andreoli were the only hitters to reach base multiple times.
Lansing 7 - @Peoria 3; Jose Rosario roughed up again for 4 ER in 5 innings against 9 H/2 BB/2 K. Offensively, DeVoss and Darvill were the only hitters to reach base more than once and Easterling had the only extra-base hit - a triple.

Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
AKA: The Cubs way
Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
I love that you guys are giving shit to the first GM in my lifetime to come in with a frickin organized gameplan. (I started watching in '69). It seems like a lot of people here preferred the "spread shit on $1,000,000 bills, throw against the wall, and see what sticks" strategy . . . It's easy to make fun of people and plans in their infancy, babies are awkward but can grow up to own your smarmy asses. Let's let these guys get through the awkward stage, huh? "but, bro it's already been 17 games, bro, huh huh, I've seen enough bro." At least Theo has the guts to stand up to the moronic Cubs' culture and try a "Cubs Way" as stupid as it may sound to you. Anyone remember the flurry of sarcasm when apple announced something called the iPad? It was doomed because it was named after a feminine hygiene product line. I think apple did okay. Go Cubs!
Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
Do you really think that Dallas Green, or Jim Hendry, or even Larry Himes really had no gameplan? That they just showed up and said" Well..I wonder what's going to happen today?"
I like Theo's plan. It's 2012, not 1980...using sabremetrics, using a uniform model throughout the organization, jettisoning dead wood where he can.
Eh...fans will always criticize...it's in out nature.
Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
Dallas definitely had the best from the ground up - plan. Hendry had a nice gutsy win now, trade deadline movin and shakin thang, which I actually liked until last few years - the no trade clauses and other probs caught up a little to say he least. But Theo is the first to ever gut the place and basically say "we cannot win as things stand. let's rip the vinyl off this old furniture." to criticize the current lineup etc, is basically like shooting ducks in a barrel (mixed metaphors baby)!
Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
Agreed. Time to rip it up and start over.
Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
I'm tired of watching minor league baseball at Wrigley, personally... and more to the point, I think this is exactly the problem with the current team. We're seeing minor league players trotting out there every day pretending they are big leaguers. And Castro's fucking .900 batting average and 7 million OPS is just wonderful, but what about him regularly giving the opposition 4 fucking outs to score in an inning? Somehow defense is still a back-burner issue to most people.
I'm looking forward to this changing under Theo- He asked me to be patient, so I will be patient. I will also continue to bitch about shitty baseball.
Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
Is the anger about Castro a desire to see management make some kind of change or is it frustration with the rest of us not talking enough about his defense?
I for one love Castro and his bat (though I'm hoping to see him develop 20+ HR power so that he can be something more than an exceptional ability to make contact, which is nice, but not as valuable as it is impressive), but I am definitely frustrated with his defense. I just don't think there is anything to do except for management to keep coaching him and hope that his throws get more consistent. That and I'd like to see him improve receiving the ball from the catcher.
My asshole tenses up a little bit every time he has to make a throw--and I don't think there is anyone here who wouldn't like to see him improve. Garza's throws actually bother me a lot more, though, because that seems like something that ought to be easier to fix than Castro's much more difficult throws from multiple times the distance.
Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
If you could write job requirements for a shortstop, what would it look like?
Bare minimum requirements:
Field the ball nearly every damn time the ball is hit to you
Make a good throw nearly every damn time you throw the ball
Hit a nice, patient .270
Take some walks
Obviously, the ideal candidate would exceed some of these requirements, but this is the bare minimum. Castro doesn't do two of these very basic requirements.
So to reiterate a question I've been asking for at least two fucking years: Have the Cubs found a real shortstop yet?
So here I go bitching about the only guy that will make the all star team. I'm an idiot... whatevah.
Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
I wouldn't mind the Cubs giving him some time at 2nd base. It's traditionally been the landing spot of Shortstops who never get the hang of fielding that position.
Not like he is being blocked by anyone of note over there.
Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
He just turned 22. I'm hoping that he'll gradually get better at those two things you're talking about.
Who's on your list of shorstops you'd rather have instead?
Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
Uh...seriously? Jack Wilson of the career 76 OPS+
Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
There's nothing wrong with Jack Wilson, though, if I were putting a team together, he wouldn't be my first choice. I reject that you have to choose between defense and offense.
Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
Well if the Cubs got Jack Wilson from 4 years ago.
Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
I really am curious who you would like to have a short stop instead of Castro. Someone that is playing now, I mean. I also wonder if you're suggesting moving Castro to 2B.
Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
I don't really know.
Is there any precedent for a team bringing in a special coach to develop a skill for an up-and-comer? Like give Castro his own defensive coach to teach him how to do it right. Maybe he'll learn it.
But if he is moved, I would also throw 3B into the mix, not just 2B. The throw from 3B is easier than the throw from SS... is been my experience from playing ball many moons ago. And anyways- Castro hits as well as our prior 3b.
Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
I think that SS is probably the most important defensive position in Baseball. Followed by CF and Catcher IMHO.
I'd be fine with a so-so offensive performer and a Gold Glove defender there.
I'd probably start giving Castro some reps at 2nd. His scatter arm won't be a liability over there like it is at SS.
Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
I think your list of important defensive positions is fine except that it's missing third base. But then you're a Cub fan. So am I, but I remember Santo. And I live in a town where they have Ryan Zimmerman playing third.
Castro had 29 errors as a 21-year-old last season. Shawon Dunston, one of those eighties players you are probably nostalgic about, committed 32 errors at age 23.
It looks like Dunston missed a lot of games in many of those early years, but when he played 140 or more, his errors were in the twenties. Out of 1657 games over 18 seasons, Dunston played 25 games at second, 11 at third. He did play some OF but not till he was 34.
Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
I think a glove is nice at 3rd base. However I think a bat needs to be equally important there.
The thing that always got he on these blogs were people bitching that Adam Dunn would have a bad glove at first base. Yet mentioning anything negative about Castro's 50 errors at Short stop would make you a pariah.
Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
thanks Rob....man...asleep at the switch..
Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
Anyone remember the flurry of sarcasm when apple announced something called the iPad? It was doomed because it was named after a feminine hygiene product line. I think apple did okay. Go Cubs!
AAPL down 11.30 to $560.40
down $83 from 52 week high of $644.00
oh wait, I bought those shares in 1994 at what turns out to be a split adjusted price of $5.06.
So being a long term shareholder of Apple before the second coming of Steve Jobs has been a hugely good thing. It can be often very tough if you look at the stock price every minute.
There have been better times looking at the Cubs stock price, just not lately. Still, I keep paying attention (obsessively).
Guess I'm an idiot...well not completely, cause I'm an AAPL shareholder too.
Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
Actually, being a Cub fan is more comparable to being a Johns Manville shareholder. That was a former Dow stock (from January 29, 1930 to August 27, 1982) but when they found out in the 1980's that Asbestos causes cancer (Mesothelioma, cancer of the lung lining) it went bankrupt.
Eventually they emerged out of bankruptcy in 1988 (comps with Dallas Green?) and in 2001 were bought by Berkshire Hathaway (Warren Buffet)...hopefully that comps with Theo coming on board with the Cubs.
Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
"moronic Cubs' culture" is a little strong but I do think there is a flawed Cub culture and since it is never mentioned, I responded to your characterization.
Three examples:
1) a contempt for minor leaguers. That's not true at all any more among Cub fans on TCR, which I consider a very positive development.
2) a disregard for what are key defensive positions, particularly third and catcher, where the glove is at least as important as the bat.
3) a distrust of speed on the bases and the aggressive use thereof. Sometimes a runner is thrown out, just like sometimes a hitter swings and misses.
(By the way, did you see how quickly Soto made it to home last night? That's not an accident, it's Sveum harping all the time about leads and jumps.)
What I would emphasize about this year's team is that it is not bad in the usual ways and should, therefore, improve.
Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
The Cubs have zero speed except little Tony.
If they ever make apple orange hybrids, I'm buying
Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
Tony is that hybrid; he strikes out and gets caught stealing sometimes.
Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
I really REALLY would love an AppleOrange right now!
Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
genetic incompatibility aside...because of chilling hours (aka, cold nights) that apples need to produce fruit you may never see such a plant, even as a grafted hybrid.
the "Anna" variety of apple would be one of the few apples out there with low chilling requirements.
citrus hates cold/chilling.
Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
That's good info crush! I would rather not get my hopes up.

"apples meet oranges"
Sometimes I feel like an apple, sometimes an orange. Apples are meatier and more filling, oranges are juicier and more thirst-quenching.
So what's the problem?
Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
I could have said, Sometimes you swing and hit a popup.
Never swing at a 2 and 0 pitch, and you'll never be out.
(Fukudome could get behind that rule.)
Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
Is Theo really the first GM in our lifetime that decided he wanted to have a Minor League system? Did you forget the Dallas Green era, or the Uber-Hyped 1998-2003 wave of prospects?
Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
I think Dallas and Jim were actually fine for their team/era. Everything I've read and remember says Dallas got cut a little short in his plan as well. I just actually find this rebuilding/ethos building period exciting and just want to point out how easy it is to rip on people like Theo who are trying to be transparent about trying something new. Maybe the fact that The Cubs Way sounds trite is not his fault. He believes and we don't yet. Glad to have him.

Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
ESPN/Doug Padilla gets this Sveum quote:
"If he clears waivers and everything, we want to keep [Lopez] in the organization and put him in the rotation down in Triple-A," manager Dale Sveum said. "Hopefully that happens and he elects to go down there as well."
Rod Lopez, kind of like gum on the bottom of that proverbial shoe?
I'm not a fan of small sample sizes, but in this case I'll make an exception:
In four outings this season, all in relief, Lopez was 0-1 with a 5.68 ERA over 6 1/3 innings with five walks and two strikeouts. Opponents batted .320 against him, the highest mark of any Cubs pitcher.
Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
Again, I gotta say, that was an amazing at bat by LaHair, and if THAT doesn't tell Sveum the dude belongs in the batters box every day, I'm gonna pull out what remains of my hair. That's the kind of AB that commands respect from other teams and players.
Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
OMFG, Garza got a hit! That brings his Cubs average up to .096.
Kyler Burke
Peoria has an early game today. Burke cruising through 5, 2H, 0R, 4K.
Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
Peoria announcer just mentioned that Concepcion is starting for Peoria tomorrow, I missed who was going up to AA, I think they said it's a reliever.
Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
Props to TCR for making it into the Peoria Journal Star article about Concepcion's work in Extended Spring.
I hope some royalties are headed your way!!
Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
I wonder how long Hoilman's power (and to a lesser degree his patience) will keep him around if he doesn't drastically improve other aspects of his game.
Nobody wants to give up on a minor leaguer who can hit jacks with consistency. But he's obviously behind Rizzo, Vogelbach, Shoulders, and probably even Bour just in terms of Cubs first base prospects.
Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
Well with Cuneo there...and if they are trying to get them both at-bats?
Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
Or perhaps Cuneo is a better fielder? Eh...we'll see I suppose.. I'm too giddy about LaHair's dinger off a lefty.
Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
I really didn't enjoy Levine's opinionated chat today. I think I'll skip that little bit of Tuesday reading from now on. Many of us could have answered the same questions with the same degree of expertise. I liked him better when he had people in the front office returning his calls.
I do appreciate that the new FO keeps its own counsel and does not scratch any media backs.

Recent comments
Some perspective (mostly for my own benefit): Dan Straily beat MadBum 2-1 today as the Reds took 2 of 3 in SF. Giants are 2-9 since the break and their lead over LA is down to 2.5 games. So, yeah...baseball. It'll drive ya nuts.
McNutt / Archer didn't work out well for us.
The floor is more valuable than the ceiling. It's the same reason we drafted Kris Bryant instead of Jon Gray.
Apparently the Yankees had the choice of either Gleyber Torres or Eloy Jimenez in the Chapman deal, and they chose Torres.
Chapman shouldn't be reserved anymore on 40 man.
Interesting split on Heyward according to ESPN. As a CF, his slash line .292/.363/.375/.738. At RF: .212/.204/.300/.604. 21/72 as a CF, 58/273 as a RF.
He's also been better when batting 2nd, but he had a nice start in the 6 hole, but has slumped ever since. He was heating up before the All Star break, but is only hitting .108 in the 2nd half.
When we played the Reds with Chapman, I always thought of it as an eight-inning game. So now other teams have eight innings to try to get a lead against the Cubs. Should be a challenge, assuming three or four Cubs ever start hitting again.
I don't really try to get to know and like these players personally. I'm rooting for laundry, for the most part. Exceptions might be when a player makes trouble in the clubhouse or in the dugout. (Zambrano and Bradley come to mind. Also Papelbon.) But I don't think Chapman is one of those jerks.
Unfortunately, a pretty good summary. It looks like next year Heyward will be getting yet another batting stance adjustment.
The recent good news has been Baez. I'm afraid about the next league adjustment on him, though, which is probably right around the corner.
Bryant I don't worry about too much. Just not seeing the ball well right now. He'll turn it around. Russell's been good with men in scoring position all year and he's 22ish. He'll be fine but next year is likely to be his breakout year.
If Travis' back-to-back-to-back walks cost Hendricks the ERA title, that would really suck.
Edit: "A lifeless loss to a lousy Sox team."
This place is a real downer after a loss to the Sox.
I expect they will go 5-9 games above .500 the rest of the year. 96-98 wins will win the Division.
They should have one more 2-3 week hot streak in them.
However, several players are just "average" for the last month: Zobrist, Ross, Russell, Ceasar. Montero is terrible, plus he cannot throw anyone out. -WAR. Heyward is abysmal at the plate, but a plus in the OF. Still with RISP he has been terrible. KB has not been driving in runs as of late. But Apparently the team is still above average with RISP according to S Sahadev.
I came to that realization tonight. I kept expecting them to play better, but now I realize they aren't going to. They are a .500 team now.
- They have one reliable starting pitcher. Jake's magic is gone, and it doesn't look like it's coming back. Lester has been lousy recently. Lackey's ERA goes up every time he pitches.
- Heyward has been dead weight all year. I can't remember a single series where he was a significant offensive contributor. Not one. Great defense, but but if he were hitting .270 with 10 HR and played average defense, the Cubs would be better off.
new rule...no one's allowed to throw k.bryant a changeup
Team is .500 since early May and is playing like a .500 team. Lack of offense seems to be putting a lot of pressure on the pitchers...and they aren't handling it terribly well.
.500 the rest of the way still may win the division though.
...i hate espn.
nothing like settling into a cubs game to get a few minutes cutaway for an ortiz AB in the 6th inning of the det/bos game.
oh, at least they're doing split screen now...i guess.

Well....I don't know what I got myself into here. You people are brainiacs! I'm just a grandmother who returned to school to get the degree and education that I've desired for all these years. I wound up on this site because I'm currently in an English course, and my instructor linked to this page. I was reading about the usage of 's, and got to thinking about the usage of s'. Love being back in school; looking forward to relearning all the stuff I've forgotten, and learning all the stuff I didn't catch onto the first time around. I'm not sure what I can contribute, but I'll hang around and see if I can. Guilty of using the word 'alot'. Website coming soon!

Clintons Want Wiener to Drop Out?
Former aides and advisers say Bill and Hillary see the NYC mayoral campaign as an embarrassment.
Former aides and advisers say Bill and Hillary see the NYC mayoral campaign as an embarrassment.
Miguel Montes: As a Hispanic Democrat, I must say I have never heard more B.S. from a president than what I heard tonight. This poor excuse of a man/president must be smoking weed in his Philadelphia hotel suite. Under Obama the USA has had the worst recovery from a recession in my lifetime and certainly since the word recession replaced the word depression. Obama and Hilary still fail to name ISIS an Islamic radical terrorist organization; my goodness, an ISIS soldier just beheaded a 80+ year old Catholic priest with a knife and Obama, Hilary and the DNC failed to mention this today as a scourge on the earth. This ISIS is the same organization Obama called a junior Varsity (JV) team and they just finished killing close to a hundred men, women and children including Americans in Nice, France, whereas over 50 Americans were killed in Orlando, FL and close to 20 Americans were killed in San Bernardino, CA. The Iranians now have advanced centrifuges that Obama did not inform the US Senate nor the American citizenry that were part of his secret Iranian deal that also included over $150B. This SOB just told the world at the convention lie after lie and he expects we Hispanic to vote for Hilary and continue his sorry presidency? We Hispanic Americans (yes I was born here as were my parents, grandparents and great grandparents and great, great grandparents) recognize that the Democrats talk the talk but never walk the walk. Obama and Bill Clinton had control of both houses of congress and never did anything about immigration reform...they basically said the same thing to Black Americans; vote for us, and we will pay you to stay on the Democratic Party welfare plantation. Well, Mr. Obama and Ms Hilary Clinton...F.U. I am done with your party and will never vote for a Democrat again.

What you should know about Asakusa
Hotels in Asakusa
In the streets around the Sensōji temple you can still find a handful of traditional Japanese hostels, or ryokan. These are mostly affordable but somewhat basic, with shared facilities and lack of modern amenities. There are also some more luxury hotels in Asakusa, mostly a few blocks from the old town's core. The Gate Hotel Asakusa Kaminarimon lies right on Nakamise, the covered street that leads to the Sensōji temple. It gets excellent reviews for its location, service, and rooftop terrace. You'll find discount hotel rates in Asakusa offered at the APA Hotel Asakusa-Kuramae. This modern budget hotel has cleverly designed rooms that are praised by many in space-conscious Tokyo.
Things to see in Asakusa
Matters spiritual are the focus of the attractions here, starting with the Sensōji temple. The massive entrance to this Buddhist temple, with its giant lantern and statues of the gods of wind and thunder, is particularly awe-inspiring. Inside is an elegant, five-story pagoda and a garden for contemplation. There are several other shrines in Asakusa, the most notable being the Chingodo Shrine with its statue to Tanuki, a Shinto raccoon god. A sense of inner calm can be found away from the area's religious buildings, at Sumida Park. This strip of green alongside the Sumida River is lit up with delicate cherry blossoms each spring, one the most anticipated events in Tokyo's calendar. Lastly, no visit is complete without a stroll down the Nakamise covered shopping street. Partly this is because it's the best way to reach the Sensōji temple. But it is also because of its numerous stalls overflowing with Japanese souvenirs and traditional craft pieces
Good for couples
Asakusa, with its temples and shrines, parks and cherry blossom, makes for a perfection backdrop to a romantic Tokyo vacation. And unlike the in-demand hotels to be found in central Tokyo, accommodation in Asakusa is relatively affordable. That means more opportunity for special treats and romantic adventures. Couples can enjoy walks in the park along the River, while there are several of fantastic tempura and sushi restaurants to be discovered here. In the evenings, the echoes of Asakusa's entertaining past are remembered in the traditional rakugo performances, often held in theaters here.
How to get to Asakusa
Connections to Narita International Airport are excellent, with travel to Asakusa Station taking only an hour on the Narita Skyaccess line. This high-speed train can be caught from the airport at Terminal 2. A cab will be needed for the last leg of the journey to your hotel from Asakusa Station. The adjoining Asakusa Metro station lies at one end of Line G. It will get you into the central Tokyo Station in just 20 minutes. For the seeing the local sights, though, it's simple enough to travel around Asakusa on foot.

Research Interests
My research is in the areas of behavioral ecology, reproductive physiology, and environmental toxicology. I am particularly interested in the physiological constraints imposed by sexually selected traits. This includes research projects on the costs of elevated plasma testosterone in male and female dark-eyed juncos (Junco hyemalis) and the allocation of dietary carotenoids between coloration and immunity in the fighting fish Betta splendens and two species of cichlids, Midas cichlids (Amphilophus cintrinellus) and convict cichlids (Amatitlania nigrofasciata). I have been involved in a collaborative project on the implications of incubation energetics for life history evolution in tree swallows (Tachycineta bicolor). Finally, I am interested in understanding the behavioral and physiological consequences of exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals in aquatic vertebrates, particularly fishes.

I have 2 monitors. First plugged into nVidia graphics card and second one into the on-board graphics card. Main (1st) monitor is working perfectly fine, but the other one has random black spots like these:
They appear when I click on icons, or try to select something on the desktop. I've noticed that it usually happens when I work for a while on my main monitor without touching the second one. These spots usually disappear 2-5 minutes after I hit F5 on desktop. Any clues?

As seen recently, live on the main stage at the A3C Festival, J-Live covers Dwyck in it's entirety. This studio recording is from the highly anticipated, soon to be released mixtape "The Live Supremacy". J-Live, in typical three man team S.P.T.A. fashion, covers the classic Nice & Smooth Gang Starr collaboration. Complete with homage to the late great Guru.
Dun Fact: DWYCK stands for "Do What Ya Can, Kid".
Not usually into cover songs but he knocked this out the park! Great homage!
The genre is eating it's self under the umbrella of "homage". Love this artist but Dwyck is a classic better left unmolested. It would be different if it could be improved upon.
Dude got fat.
I think this is cool, and dude has the chops to pull it off.
And Pizzo get your facts straight. Straight from Guru's mouth:
"It's like 'My dick!'. It means the male genitalia."

All Rise...
Judge Patrick Bromley is a master of the universe.
The Charge
He didn't come here to be a hero, but things change.
The Case
I guess it was only a matter of time until the snake started eating its own tale. The cult success of George Romero's Night of the Living Dead series begets the comic book and subsequent AMC TV series The Walking Dead, which becomes the biggest success story on television and, in turn, begets its own knock-off movies. Battle of the Damned is such a movie.
The great Dolph Lundgren plays the incredibly-named Max Gatling (a name that deserves better than this movie), survivor of a recent virus outbreak that has turned most of the world in snarling, infected zombie-like things that live only to kill and eat the living. He's hired to rescue Jude (Melanie Zanetti, Tracks), the daughter of a wealthy industrialist. Trouble is, Jude won't go anywhere without the other survivors with whom she's partnered up—including her boyfriend Reese (Matt Doran, The Matrix) and Duke (David Field, Chopper), the self-appointed group leader. The bad news is that there are zombies everywhere and the good guys' numbers are dwindling. On the plus side, Max and the other survivors come across a small army of robots they're able to reprogram to fight the zombies.
Boy, on paper a movie with Dolph Lundgren and robots fighting zombies sounds like my new favorite thing. In practice, it's a different story. While Battle of the Damned isn't anywhere near Against the Dark territory—a similar DVD-action-star-versus-monsters effort that pits Steven Seagal against vampires and one of the dullest, most inept action movies you're likely to see—it's also nowhere near as good as its simple premise would suggest. The characters are barely sketched; the plotting almost nonexistent. Though some of the action is well-staged, it amounts mostly to a small cast and some extras running around the empty streets of an Eastern European country. There isn't any particularly good zombie gore, either. The infected are dispatched by being shot, and their human victims are always obscured by a swarm of zombies or eaten off camera. There is no impact to any of the deaths, human or otherwise.
Besides Lundgren—who isn't really given a character to play, just a cool sounding name and his usual larger-than-life stature—no one in the movie registers. That may not be important in most action movies, but it does in one like this. When a film is focused on a small band of survivors, it's important to know who they are and how they relate to one another. Even broad sketches would go a long way towards getting us to invest in the film, because neither the action nor the horror elements are doing the job. The least we can do is care about someone, but Battle of the Damned doesn't pull that off. I guess the filmmakers hope if they throw enough robots into the mix, we'll overlook the rest of the flaws. And you know what? For a little while, that works.
Anchor Bay's Battle of the Damned (Blu-ray) delivers about what you would expect: the 1080p transfer looks very good, despite the film's washed-out, shot-on-digital appearance. Detail is present throughout, and while the HD transfer is slightly less forgiving of some of the CG robot effects, the film generally looks more expensive than its small budget would suggest. The TrueHD 5.1 audio track is also impressive, seeing as its tasked more with providing action effects and score than with dialogue, as the movie is light on conversation. Sadly, the only bonus feature included is some behind-the-scenes footage, barely cut together in any presentable way.
The DTV action market is so overcrowded with generic, hit-or-miss fare that something even remotely ambitious like Battle of the Damned falls just this side of "ok." Some decent special effects and the presence of Dolph Lundgren make it watchable, though it's mostly for non-discerning genre fans. Horror fans looking for a zombie movie fix will be disappointed. All that's left is us DTV action fans who have seen enough garbage to find this one enough of a change of pace to be passable. Yes, it rips off The Walking Dead. But The Walking Dead doesn't have Dolph Lundgren. Or robots.
The Verdict
Not great.

Did we give Battle of the Damned (Blu-ray) a fair trial? yes / no

Digital vasoconstrictive responses to sensory stimulation have been known for many years; however, they have not been considered useful diagnostic signs of disease of the nervous system or blood vessels, since the many factors influencing these reactions have not been adequately clarified.* It is the purpose of this report to examine the nature of the induced vasomotor reflexes and to point out certain conditions in which knowledge of the behavior of these reflexes is of clinical value.
Approximately 500 induced vasomotor reflexes have been studied in 125 persons. Forty-five subjects were normal; 45 had organic arterial disease due to arteriosclerosis; 20 were blind or deaf subjects without vascular disease; 10 had Raynaud's syndrome, and 5 had emotional problems resulting in strong anxiety states. The average age was 39 years, with a range of 20 to 62. Sixty per cent were female. Vasodilatation was induced by having the

Aberdeen Proving Ground, Md. -- Building a house in just a few days is something that might be the making of a reality television show rather than a civil engineering project on behalf of the U.S. Army.
Thirty civil engineering students from the California State University in Los Angeles, however, did just that this winter. They built a structure the Army needed to house its light sensitive technologies at the All American Bowl's Army Strong Zone in San Antonio, and they did it in just nine days.
As members of the Cal State LA chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers, the students designed and built a 20 foot by 20 foot structure so that the Army could showcase its night vision equipment, tactical digital holographic maps, and its sense through the wall radar imager for the 32,000 people who attended that high school all-star football game.
The engineering students began this effort just two days after their final exams, according to Dr. Keith Moo-Young, Dean for College of Engineering, Computer Science, and Technology at Cal State LA.
"When other students have kicked back to relax, these students took on this project with full vigor with the All American Bowl just three weeks away," he explained.
"During the winter break, ASCE at Cal State L.A. was hard at work, "said Lawrence Lopez of the Cal State chapter. "The Army's Research Development and Engineering Command needed a team able to construct a small model home that would have the capability of being moveable and being assembled in place in less than a day."
"We had to design alternatives, get one approved, buy all the materials, and build it in just nine days," said Claudia Pichardo, one of the two Cal State students who followed the house to the San Antonio event.
Rene Carrillo, the other ASCE chapter member at the Army Strong Zone, said, "We had to make it so that we could disassemble and reassemble it wherever the Army needs it for future showcases. So, that was a nice challenge."
There was a second design challenge because it housed light sensitive technologies. "Basically, when you go inside it has to be pitch black," Carrillo said, "It is light tight."
Weather added one more degree of difficulty to the project when rain delayed the project two days. So, it was December 23 when the students finished the project and shipped it to San Antonio to house the Army technology exhibits.
The structure housed a display of the Aviator's Night Vision Imaging System, a helmet-mounted, image-intensification device. This device enables flight operations under very low or starlight light conditions. It also housed the Thermal Weapon Sight which enables Soldiers with individual weapons to see deep into the battlefield and penetrate obscurants, day or night.
In addition, the Cal State project provided a home for a display of tactical digital holograms. These holographic maps are visualization tools that help Soldiers better understand the complex battlefield imagery of urban combat environments where two dimensional maps and photographs cannot adequately represent a three-dimensional battlefield.
Lt. Col Bob Hribar from the Program Executive Office for Simulations, Training, and Instrumentation explained that the holograms provide Soldiers greater clarity because "the 3-d image provides a true height that you never get from a two-d map. He said a simple light source is all that is required to illuminate the 3D effects, which amounts to "pulling up" the image from the paper.
The structure and the displays it housed made an impression on teenager Henry Mahome of San Antonio during his visit to the Army Strong Zone.
"That was great. The map just popped up when I looked down at it!"
"Taking on this task showed the dedication that our Cal State L.A. ASCE members have for their chapter and its success, "Lopez explained.
"Their hard work and perseverance clearly showed a desire to help the Army and build a partnership with RDECOM," Moo-Young summarized.

The Nokia Lumia 900 is a pretty beautiful device which is set to become the most heavily advertised phone since the iPhone. However, there's one annoying bug that some users are reporting on Nokia's forums and WPCentral's forums which impacts the device's 3G/4G connectivity. While we aren't entirely sure about what's causing this issue, it seems that it may be triggered by cutting off the data connection at any point (such as by triggering airplane mode.)
Nokia and WPCentral forum participant goeman said that following these steps fixed his issue:
- Remove the SIM card and leave the SIM card out for the next three steps.
- Perform a Master Reset (Settings > About).
- Let the product boot up without a SIM card.
- Turn off the device.
- Verify that the SIM card is LTE enabled.
- Insert SIM card and boot up.

Ww Inspired Greek Infused Egg White Omelet
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 5 mins
I'm on Weight Watchers and I used to follow a low carb plan. I missed the big omelets that I used to make when I was low carbing it. I use the egg white substitue that comes in a carton (Better than Eggs or Egg Beaters) and the Birds Eye Pepper Stir Fry Frozen Mix because I'm usually pressed for time. This is so good with the mixed veggies and spinach, the tanginess of the feta, and the oregano. All for only 8 points! This makes a big omelet, so if you split it it's only 4 points! Enjoy!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1⁄4 cup chopped onion
- 1⁄4 cup chopped green pepper
- 1⁄4 cup chopped red pepper
- 1⁄2 cup chopped fresh spinach
- 1⁄2 cup egg substitute
- 1⁄4 cup feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons shredded parmesan cheese
- 1⁄2 teaspoon dried oregano (to taste)
- salt, to taste
- fresh pepper, to taste (a few grinds)
- In a nonstick 8 inch skillet heat the oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
- Add the frozen vegetables, stirring often, until they soften and heat up.
- Add the fresh spinach, and cook, until spinach wilts and is heated through.
- Pour the egg whites over the vegetables and when the edges begin to set, push inward with a spatula to allow uncooked egg to go to the sides. Tilt pan if necessary to make sure the egg whites cook evenly.
- When egg mixture is almost set, top with the feta and parmesan cheese. Sprinkle the oregano and salt and pepper on. Fold in half, and allow to cook 1-2 minutes longer so the cheese will melt. Transfer to a plate and eat!

Yooper,this is super! The first day I made it I used frozen spinach and half a cup was way too much - I forgot about the shrinkage. This is delicious but for my third time, I'll use a little more egg (it's hard to get the omelet to stick together with so many veggies) and less feta. I used fat free feta with Mediterranean herbs and a few tablespoons would provide enough flavor. I used fresh veggies but love the idea of using the frozen birds eye blend since it also has yellow peppers. That would be five different kinds of veggies out of the way before 8 a.m. - what a great start for the day. Thanks and sorry about the Packers.
This was delicious! I used whole eggs as I'm not counting points. I love the combination of the onions, peppers and spinach along with the two cheeses. I used a local cheese that's a bit more salty than feta, so I didn't add salt at all to the dish. I had this on some whole wheat toast, with a cup of strong coffee on the side and the weekend paper in front of me. Good breakfast, thanks Yoop!
