In the comments section during the game, I predicted a BC comeback. The momentum and our success passing had me thinking that we would score enough to tie it and win in overtime. It never really got that close. But watching the game back I understand why I got excited. There were multiple moments when the offense played really well and Rettig was completing tough throws. But there weren't enough of them and he compounded it with multiple mistakes.Offense: DRettig makes so low percentage throws that it is amazing he doesn't throw more INTs. Aside from the last one where he got hit, the first two were examples of passes he's been trying all year. This week they didn't go his way. Ironically I thought his decision making and footwork were better this week. He didn't have many miss throws. The fumble was a killer, but I blamed that more on the offensive line. I also still believe that he needs to run on a drive. Once again there were plenty of plays where he had daylight. Instead he wai...

The Emigrants were founded on the banks of Lake Geneva in the summer of 2011 when percussionist Yvette Issar overheard mandolinist/vocalist John Lawlor singing Irish ballads at a lakeside picnic with some friends and spontaneously proposed that the two form a musical duo.
After a few quiet acoustic gigs as "Yvette and John" somewhere along the way the two bumped into vocalist Cian O'Luanaigh and vocalist/percussionist Des Loughrey-Grant, and by the end of that summer, "The Emigrants" were born.
From those humble beginnings, the band has grown to become one of Geneva's best-loved live acts, packing out the pubs with high-energy folk tunes that make people sing, dance and smile.
The Emigrants play music that makes people dance, sing and have a good time. They have a proven track record in packing out pubs and boosting trade. The Emigrants are available for pub gigs, festivals and private functions. For further information, please e-mail email@example.com.

TravelPod Member ReviewsChateau de Perreux - Amboise Nazelles Negron
Very comfortable room with an eclectic mixture of old furniture. The building dates back to the 17th century and is built on old caves which have been enlarged by generations of quarrying for limestone. In fact the parking is inside the old cave.
It's not new and slick but showing an elegant decay which is in line with its age.
The exterior and grounds are a visual feast and every girls fairytale castle.
Charlotte the manager could not have been more helpful or more friendly.
A terrific stay.

It is a perfectly delicious ending to an opulent and extravagant tour!
Still home alone
Today I took myself into Tours, it is getting much easier to find my way around, there is plenty of parking underground and easily accessible. Tours is so pretty, and I spent a couple of hours just wandering around. Then I discovered the huge shopping centre, it is such a shame that France is going the way of the US, but I did find the things I had been looking for. Home for my last night alone, I indulged in a Kassler ham chop and pineapple with "lightly steamed vegetables" for ...

You know the saying, "Second verse same as the first."
Yet on the heels of Snowmageddon comes Snowpocalypse, a second verse even worse than the first.
The storm that hit the mid-Atlantic region last night and is heading north is worse than the storm over the weekend. We're experiencing blizzard conditions outside, and the snow has piled on another foot or so on top some two feet of accumulated snow.
Other names for this winter of discombobulation are SnOMG, Snowtorious, Snoverkill, Snozilla, and Snofecta.
That's S'now joke.

Judgement Day
I want to start doing some digital manipulation and thought this was a good place to start. I used to look at all photoshop sites and get overwhelmed by how much is possible and not do anything at all but hopefully that will change. This is probably the first thing I've photoshopped beyond normal healing and cloning so any critique would be appreciated :)
It's supposed to be a nuclear explosion reflecting in his eye by the way.
Oh and if you're interested, I made a group called Beauty in a Tragedy and I think this is a perfect example of what I meant when I created the group.

Sci-fi psycho-Western psychedelic improv from Michael Garfield
Boulder-based musician Michael Garfield is offering a free download of Daylighting, an EP of acoustic guitar and effects improvisations. Don't jump to conclusions based on "acoustic guitar improv" though -- this sounds more like some of the sonic explorations that came out of the Robert Fripp/Brian Eno collaborations than some hippie "jamming" on an acoustic in a park somewhere. It was recorded live at this years MAPS Psychedelic Science in the 21st Century Conference, which should give you some idea of what you're in for (spoiler: it's real trippy).
The five-track, twenty minute EP is full of odd timbres and textures, but the occasional splash of melody erupts and there's a strange, sci-fi psycho-Western feel to a lot of it -- let's just say if they'd ever done a psychedelic drug sequence on Firefly, this would have worked perfectly as the accompaniment. It's occasionally beautiful, frequently evocative and never less than interesting. And it's free. Download it from Bandcamp, or listen via the embedded player below.

Kitty, don't you think due to the fall labor intensive push to get everything
in and prepared for winter one welcomes different activities? Once spring
comes the race is on again and so welcomed. If we could garden all year there
would not be the big push in the spring to get everything potted, planted and

The world's most famous golf course could sink into the sea by 2050, a climate change expert warned today.
Professor Jan Bebbington raised the possibility that the Old Course at St Andrews - known as the home of golf - could be lost through coastal erosion by then.
The St Andrews University academic was asked to prepare a report visualising the effects of climate change on Scotland's future society.
She decided to write a speech, to be delivered at an imaginary carbon forum in 2050, aimed at encouraging countries to meet their emissions targets.
It describes how Scotland adapted to more severe winter storms, flooding and rising sea levels by coordinating a "managed retreat from vulnerable coastal locations".
But it also refers to the "sorrow at the last British Open played in St Andrews" before the course was claimed by coastal erosion.
The speech, which assumes Scotland has achieved an 80% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, also talks of the rise in car-sharing and vegetarianism.
It describes the "Scottish Carbon Enlightenment", involving a "huge array of social experiments" which leads to "unleashed creativity on a grand scale".
It talks of "low carbon living" being achieved through technology, individual and collective behaviour change, and changes in culture, values and expectations.
Prof Bebbington describes the Scotland of 2050 as a "happier place than it once was", but adds it is "a time of profound change".
She said she hoped the speech would encourage people to think about the potential effects of climate change.
The director of the St Andrews Sustainability Institute said: "I am trying to say don't assume the way we live now and the things we take for granted will always be there.
"The Old Course is one example. It could be safe and I suspect it will attract a lot of investment to try to keep it safe.
"But it is on low lying ground and people should be asking themselves what if it - and other places we take for granted - was not there any more.
"In 2050 we will still work and have friends and do what we do now, but the world will be a very different place."
Prof Bebbington's work was commissioned by the David Hume Institute in Edinburgh and will be launched at an event in the city's Dynamic Earth tomorrow.

Jeremiah 21New International Version (NIV)
God Rejects Zedekiah's Request
21 The word came to Jeremiah from the Lord when King Zedekiah sent to him Pashhur son of Malkijah and the priest Zephaniah son of Maaseiah. They said: 2 "Inquire now of the Lord for us because Nebuchadnezzar[a] king of Babylon is attacking us. Perhaps the Lord will perform wonders for us as in times past so that he will withdraw from us."
3 But Jeremiah answered them, "Tell Zedekiah, 4 'This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: I am about to turn against you the weapons of war that are in your hands, which you are using to fight the king of Babylon and the Babylonians[b] who are outside the wall besieging you. And I will gather them inside this city. 5 I myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand and a mighty arm in furious anger and in great wrath. 6 I will strike down those who live in this city—both man and beast—and they will die of a terrible plague. 7 After that, declares the Lord, I will give Zedekiah king of Judah, his officials and the people in this city who survive the plague, sword and famine, into the hands of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and to their enemies who want to kill them. He will put them to the sword; he will show them no mercy or pity or compassion.'
8 "Furthermore, tell the people, 'This is what the Lord says: See, I am setting before you the way of life and the way of death. 9 Whoever stays in this city will die by the sword, famine or plague. But whoever goes out and surrenders to the Babylonians who are besieging you will live; they will escape with their lives. 10 I have determined to do this city harm and not good, declares the Lord. It will be given into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he will destroy it with fire.'
11 "Moreover, say to the royal house of Judah, 'Hear the word of the Lord. 12 This is what the Lord says to you, house of David:
"'Administer justice every morning;

text: Lots of TV last night but I have, so far, seen only "30 Rock" and "The Office." Both funny. More later. I missed another five hours of shows (please respect the vast cone of silence) because I was at a screening of "I Love You, Man," the new Paul Rudd-Jason Segel comedy. Which is quite funny, and even made some raunch-comedy staples laughable again. More about that later, too, since I have to write a couple of columns this AM.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Welcome to MetLife Stadium, where the New England Patriots (7-3) will face the New York Jets (4-6) in a Thanksgiving night clash.
Doesn't feel like late November. The current temperature in North Jersey is 55 degrees, and the temperature is expected to stay in the 40s throughout the game. Skies are clear, winds are light, and no precipitation is in the forecast. A great night for football.
Four more inactives needed. The Patriots will need to deactivate an additional four players for this game. The team has already declared tight end Rob Gronkowski (forearm/hip), guard Logan Mankins (ankle/calf), and defensive end Chandler Jones (ankle) as out for the game. There are an additional 13 players listed as questionable.
Carey gets the call. Tonight's official is Mike Carey, who will be officiating his first Patriots game this season.
Thanksgiving festivities. NBC is airing its first ever Thanksgiving night game, which will include a live halftime performance by musician Lenny Kravitz.
Scouts in the house. There are scouts from the Arizona Cardinals, Miami Dolphins and New York Giants in attendance at tonight's game. The Patriots travel to face the Dolphins next week, while the Jets will host the Cardinals. The Giants, of course, share this facility with the Jets.

Participants learn about approaches to infusing or integrating engineering concepts into secondary-level science classrooms and engage in an analysis of two projects' products and outcomes.
The session will feature the experiences, outcomes, and materials from two engineering-oriented DR K-12 projects. The two projects, INFUSE and INSPIRES, use different approaches to teacher professional development with the goal of preparing science teachers to infuse or integrate engineering into their classrooms. They have both developed a unique set of materials designed to impact science and technology outcomes (working on a combination of curriculum development, professional development, and research). These include an engineering concept inventory, an innovation configuration map designed to assess a range of curriculum elements and pedagogical practices, engineering infused lessons, and preliminary research outcomes. In this session, participants will compare and contrast the two approaches, examine the products and outcomes, and engage in an analysis and critique of each component.
Explore methods and challenges associated with supporting and evaluating scientific modeling in K–12 classrooms in this structured poster session.
In this interactive panel symposium, presenters will draw from a set of active DR K-12 projects to explore a diverse array of resources, models, and tools (RMTs) designed to operationalize varying perspectives on scientific modeling in elementary, middle, and secondary classrooms across disciplinary domains. The goals of the session are to 1) explore and highlight alignment between conceptual perspectives on scientific modeling and RMTs being used in these projects and 2) engage in discussion - with active participant involvement - about how these examples contribute to a broader, shared understanding of scientific modeling that can advance systemic efforts to communicate about and support scientific modeling in K-12 classrooms.
Following a framing of the overarching challenge and core questions (e.g., What is scientific modeling? What are key questions and issues in theorizing and fostering scientific modeling?), projects will provide brief overviews of their work. A moderator will then facilitate a panel discussion on the key questions and issues introduced at the beginning of the session, followed by a whole-group, facilitated reflective discussion. Finally, through significant audience feedback, the panel will highlight themes and critical next steps in efforts to communicate and foster scientific modeling.
Learn about pre- or in-service teacher education activities designed to support teacher facilitation of student disciplinary discussions through enactments that illustrate teacher education activities.
Often the most we know about our colleagues' on-the-ground support of teachers is what we read in the methods sections of research articles, or what has been reified many times over in their published teacher learning materials. We rarely get to see, much less experience, one another's approaches to supporting teachers. This session will open up the black-box of our work with teachers for discussion and scrutiny.
This session aims to 1) make visible the best-practices in teacher education/professional development activities designed to support teacher facilitation of student disciplinary discussions; and 2) provide an opportunity for panelists and participants to examine tacit assumptions about what teachers know – and need to know – regarding facilitating K-12 student discussions in math and science. The cross-disciplinary panel (i.e., two projects in science and one in math will be participating) allows us to compare mathematics and science discussions, and to use those comparisons to uncover models of teacher learning.
To begin, each research team will facilitate a 10-15 minute enactment of an illustrative professional development or teacher education activity, in which the audience will participate as teacher learners. This participation will support a subsequent discussion of the theoretical underpinnings guiding the design work of each project. The session will conclude with discussion of the challenges facing each project and brainstorming possible solutions.
Learn about the work and findings of two longitudinal studies examining the development of knowledge, beliefs, and instructional practices among pre-service and early-career elementary teachers in mathematics and science.
Over the past five years, research teams at Western Washington University and North Carolina State University have each conducted longitudinal studies to examine elementary teacher development in mathematics and science. Specifically, they have investigated the development of pre-service/novice teachers' knowledge, beliefs, and instructional practices during teacher preparation and into their initial years of teaching.
During this session, participants will learn about and discuss each project's research design, methodologies, key findings, and elements of teacher preparation that seem to be particularly instrumental in development. Participants will also learn about project-developed data collection instruments and frameworks for analyses. Together, presenters and participants will engage in broader discussion about approaches to preparing elementary mathematics and science teachers, as well as strategies for evaluating the impacts of teacher preparation, examining questions such as:
Join in a discussion and give feedback on the work of a project integrating science and literacy/language arts, and issues associated with designing and implementing integrated science in K–5 schools.
The vision of meaningful learning in science from NGSS and the National Research Council's A Framework for K-12 Science Education requires reform efforts that address 1) curricular issues (what is being taught); and 2) pedagogical practices (what teaching will look like with emphasis on both the practices of science and engineering and the integration of the Common Core State Standards – English Language Arts). This session will highlight integrated instructional activities at the elementary level that are being implemented in one DR K-12 project and being developed and piloted in another, newly funded project. Similarities and differences across the two models will be highlighted along with issues associated with classroom implementation of the three components of NGSS and the integration of literacy.
First, participants will engage in identifying persistent curricular problems in the implementation of K-5 science. Then, by examining representative project-developed curriculum modules, they will discuss how and to what degree the modules illustrate NGSS and literacy standards while maintaining conceptual coherence, advancing both student learning and classroom instruction, and enabling schools to meet current accountability mandates. Results from one of the projects will provide the basis for a discussion about how the NGSS and literacy can be logically combined and feasible to implement in authentic classroom settings. Finally, presenters and participants will discuss ways in which the two integrated instructional models might serve as optional alternatives for school districts while still accomplishing the broad-based national goals.
Join a discussion with panelists from several projects about project model designs, initial findings, and implementation challenges associated with formative assessment in mathematics.
In this session, four projects will share their work on formative assessment and mathematics learning trajectories, and participants will discuss the implications for formative assessment practices in mathematics.
The session begins by focusing on an analysis of survey responses from mathematics educators who work with teachers. Respondents indicated that they 1) viewed formative assessment as important; 2) employed different instructional frameworks in their work with teachers; but 3) did not regularly highlight formative assessment in relation to these frameworks. Based on these findings, presenters have worked with experts on various instructional frameworks to sharpen the focus on formative assessment.
Next, the Improving Formative Assessment to Support Teaching (iFAST) Algebra project will describe their work developing instructional resources to support teachers in meeting the challenges set by CCSS-M for students' learning. This includes developing learning trajectories for algebra that inform their work with middle school teachers to enhance their use of formative assessment.
The Ongoing Assessment Project (OGAP) combines formative assessment techniques with learning trajectories into tools, resources, and sustained professional development for elementary teachers. They will share impacts on teacher knowledge and student outcomes and describe how teachers are enacting OGAP in their classrooms, with a focus on school conditions that contribute to within- and across-school variation in implementation.
Finally, the Completing and Validating Learning Trajectories 6-8 project will discuss a hierarchical digital learning map organized around big ideas in mathematics with underlying learning trajectories to help teachers and students navigate the CCSS-M. It features a diagnostic assessment system, digitally scored to provide feedback on trajectory progress in real time.
After these overviews, presenters and participants will discuss the implications of this work for the field.
Review themes related to culturally responsive STEM instruction, and generate ideas for advancing research and practice in this area.
Engage with presenters as they discuss assessment and rubrics designed to measure secondary teachers' mathematical habits of mind.
Work in secondary mathematics education takes many approaches to content, pedagogy, professional development and assessment. This session aims to illuminate the richness of hte content of secondary mathematics and the field of secondary mathematics education by sharing two such approaches and reflecting on the differences and commonalities between the two.
In this session, Kevin Moore and Jason Silverman will address the question, "How do we work with teachers in ways that are sensitive to their ways of thinking, yet support shifts in their ways of thinking that influence their practice?" and share the following:
Sarah Sword will address the question, "What are the mathematical habits of mind (MHoM) that secondary teachers use, how do they use them, and how can we measure them?" and share:
Panelists will then share thoughts on what the perspectives have in common and what distinguishes them, followed by general discussion and Q&A.
Consider multiple approaches to valuing, supporting, and studying the diversity of students' solutions to design problems through poster presentations and small-group discussion.
"Solution diversity" has been proposed as one key characteristic that distinguishes engineering design from other disciplinary pursuits. Engineering designers recognize that for any design problem, there will be multiple acceptable solutions, and informed designers have been found to strive for "idea fluency" through divergent thinking techniques that assist them in exploring the design space (Crismond & Adams, 2012). In a K-12 classroom, when students in one classroom employ not only a range of problem-solving approaches, but also generate a diverse set of task outcomes, teachers may find new challenges and opportunities for learning and assessment.
This session aims to shed light on the following questions: In what ways do researchers, teacher collaborators, or students value a diverse set of solutions to design problems, and how do these values influence assessment, teacher professional development, and the design of instructional strategies and scaffolds?
To begin, researchers from six DR K-12 projects will offer brief poster presentations that represent their their initial answers. Participants will then join small- and large-group discussions around these questions. Finally, the session discussant (Christian Schunn) will share his reflections on the conversations and facilitate a final Q&A session.

Where I stayed
Carrie's Cottage
It's hard to do your work when you're having so much fun. I think Carrie is like that for me. I have too much fun around her! I have to find a place to check e-mail and such. Carrie loves to go to the Nomad Cafe where they have great lattes and free wireless internet.
I got myself a coconut pineapple juice and I was set. Caught up on checking e-mail but not enough time to get all the writing and such finished. Carrie and I talked about what else we could do for the day. We decided on the Berkeley Science Center and Cesar Chavez. The Science Center is actually on top of a hill where you can see a lot of Berkeley and out to San Francisco. Cesar Chavez Park is where Carrie goes a lot to hang out because the view is so beautiful.
Carrie had some plants that she wanted Abby to keep while she was gone so we stopped there before the Science Center, it was one the way. Carrie drove us and we climbed the hill up to the top where, it's true, you could see everything from Oakland to San Francisco. Carrie is so sensative about views and nature that it wasn't hard to believe that she knows where it's best to see the city green from. There are a lot of trees for such a populated area.
From there on to Cesar Chavez. It's a park in an area that's right on the water of the bay. We saw the boats and marina and I was trying to talk Carrie into the marina life since she's been so money conscious lately. But from there, was an amazing view where you can catch the sight of Oakland, San Fran and beyond. You see both the Bay Bridge and the Golden Gate Bridge. Also, Alacatraz Island can be seen from there. While we spent time walking around there, we saw the wind surfing guy on a skateboard. The older man was definitely having some fun out there. It was fun to watch.
We were set to meet Carrie's SGI friends Mai and Alice at her place. We ended up chanting together and talking about Carrie's plans on where she'll be practicing since she'll be in San Francisco after she comes back from hanging out in Maryland for the summer with her family
After that, we talked movies and decided that we were going to watch The Incredible Hulk. Now, Carrie is not huge on superhero movies but I convinced her to go see Ironman and she loved it. I felt the same was going to happen this time around except that I'd be there to say, "See?" Before that, there was matter of food. Since Carrie is a vegan, it was a bit of a struggle but we found a burrito place that sufficed. We went on to watch the movie after and had a great time. It was a well made movie. Edward Norton, again, awesome. And now its late for time to sleep after a fun day.

The GPS on my Galaxy Note can be slow sometimes...as in taking two or three minutes to get a lock. Normally this isn't a very big issue except that unlike other GPS apps and Navigation clients, Waze seems to "give up" after trying to get a GPS lock for 1 minute. That is, it will try to locate for 1 minute, then stop, then try again for another minute. If it takes longer than 1 minute to get a GPS signal, Waze will pretty much never find one.
I skimmed the prefs file and found several references to the GPS but I'm not entirely sure which one is the one I'm looking for. Anybody know? Thanks!

The day started at 3:30am, carefully selecting the warmest clothes I own and eating a hearty breakfast, knowing full well that I was about to spend a long day out in the cold. At 4:30am I was driven to the shores of Staten Island, still showing scars from Super Storm Sandy. When I arrived, police searched my new clear plastic tote bag, I walked through a metal detector, and was then screened again with a metal detecting wand. But none of this bothered me in the least; in fact, I could hardly contain my excitement or wipe the smile off my face.
Why? Because today was Marathon day in New York City. The day where New Yorkers in all five boroughs come out to cheer on 50,000 of their friends, neighbors, and visiting guests. For a city with a reputation of being a bit tough and gruff, today is filled with nothing but high-fives, you-can-do-it's, and way-to-go's.
But it's not just the out pouring of good will that makes this day so magical, not by a long shot. It's the thousands of inspirational stories of runners who overcome obstacles big and small to make it to this day. Local runners who spent the last year rebuilding their homes and lives after Sandy hit, and still remained focused on training for the race. Runners like 93-year-old Jon Mendes, who laugh in the face of Father Time and prove age is just a number. Runners who have cancer, have beaten cancer, or are running in honor of someone who has lost their battle with the disease. Blind runners, runners with prosthetic limbs, and wounded warriors whose displays of courage are nothing short of breath taking.
My job on this day was to be an announcer at the staging area for the start, about 200 yards from the actual starting line. Since you can't just line up 50,000 people and yell "On your mark, set, go!", runners are corralled into a large staging area and then start the race in four separate waves. I'm the friendly voice on the main stage letting runners know when to report to their corrals, where to drop off their baggage, what sponsors are supporting them today, and of course getting them pumped up for the race.
Then, it happened. At approximately 9:40am we heard the first BOOM of the cannon being shot at the start, letting the world know that the greatest race in running had begun. The staging area went nuts! I expected all the cheering and shouting as we watched the first wave of runners take off across the Verrazano Bridge, but what I didn't expect was the dance party that broke out. The remaining runners just could not contain their excitement knowing that in a few minutes it would be them running across that bridge, and their adventure would be underway.
For me, what makes this day so special, and why I am excited and honored every time I get to announce this event, is the feeling of being a part of something bigger than myself. With every cheer, I too am Boston strong. With every shout of encouragement, I too am kicking cancer to the curb. And with every Bon Jour, Bongiorno, and Hola I yell, I too am proud of my homeland.
Marathon day proves that no matter if we are old or young, sick or well, foreign or native, the human spirit is the most powerful force on Earth.

SRU chief executive Mark Dodson has clarified the 'promotion' of Scott Johnson to director of rugby for Scotland after a dire Six Nations.
SRU chief executive Mark Dodson has clarified the 'promotion' of Scott Johnson to director of rugby for Scotland after a dire Six Nations.
Johnson's move was pre-determined before the 2014 campaign while Vern Cotter concluded his work with Top 14 club Clermont.
Cotter will now coach the Scottish national side going forward, but there has been a backlash towards why Johnson has been given another position within Scottish rugby.
"We need clarity on this issue. We appointed Scott to be director of rugby first. Then we got Vern Cotter as head coach. We knew we would have to wait for Vern as he wanted to finish the job he started at Clermont," said Dodson.
"We asked Scott to stand in during the interim. He had no ambition to do that but we asked him. He was happy to do it on one proviso, and that was to bring on Scottish players in larger numbers.
"In the period he's been in charge, he has capped 17 new players, so we have a squad that is richer and deeper than ever.
"But as for the backlash about Scott being promoted, I'd say that he was never 'promoted' – he already had the job.
"Now he's going back to that job to develop the plans we have got to develop the next generation of new talent, which is his specialism.
"We always knew there would be a problem with the 14-month period but Scott did what we asked him to do and he delivered what we asked him to deliver."

Supports blood vessel health Enhances SIRT-1 (the longevity enzyme) activity Supports the body's normal inflammatory response Enhances liver function and detoxification Promotes normal cell proliferation Research on the ingredients in Poly-Resveratrol has demonstrated numerous anti-aging effects: Resveratrol: A flavonoid-like molecule found in grapes, mulberries, and other plants, resveratrol mimics the anti-aging effects of calorie restriction. A significant decrease in the harmful effects of a high-fat, high-calorie diet was observed in mice, most likely due to increased fat metabolism from the up-regulation of the SIRT-1 enzyme, which acts as a cellular switch by both increasing the number of mitochondria and supporting their function. SIRT-1 also has a positive impact on blood glucose metabolism, insulin sensitivity, and cell survival. Pterostilbene: A naturally-occurring methylated metabolite of resveratrol, pterostilbene appears to be better absorbed than resveratrol and is not as easily broken down in the liver. Animal and in vitro studies show pterostilbene has anti-aging effects similar to resveratrol, but it reaches higher levels in the blood and is longer lasting in the body. Curcumin Phytosome, Green Tea Phytosome, and water-soluble Quercetin: Research shows quercetin slows the breakdown of resveratrol in the body, acts as a potent antioxidant, and is synergistic with the activities of resveratrol. Green Tea Phytosome has a positive effect on fat metabolism, promotes optimal liver detoxification, and is highly absorbed. Curcumin Phytosome is significantly better absorbed than a standardized curcumin extract, and studies show it supports the body's normal inflammatory response and demonstrates synergistic anti-aging activity with resveratrol. PolyResveratrol-SR is a unique, science-based formula containing pure resveratrol and synergistic ingredients: pure, 100% trans-resveratrol trans-pterostilbene, a natural metabolite of resveratrol synergists including water-soluble quercetin, green tea phytosome, and the amazing curcumin phytosome (Meriva), for enhanced antioxidant activity, fat metabolism, and support of the normal inflammatory response All in an exclusive patent-pending time-release matrix that promotes higher and more consistent blood levels of the ingredients over time. The Science Behind ResveratrolResveratrol - a polyphenolic compound called a stilbene, which is similar in its structure to a flavonoid - is found in grapes, cranberries, blueberries, peanuts, rhubarb, and other plant species. It is a protective antioxidant molecule produced in these plants as a result of stress, such as fungal invasion, injury, oxidative damage, and ultraviolet radiation. Like flavonoids, resveratrol is a potent antioxidant; but it is also a unique molecule that has significant anti-aging effects. Researchers are studying the effects of reducing calorie intake on lifespan, and numerous studies now show caloric restriction appears to lengthen lifespan in many species. Resveratrol supplementation has been shown to mimic the effects of caloric restriction, increasing the lifespan of numerous species, including yeast, roundworms, fruit flies, and mice. In studies in which mice were fed either a high-calorie diet, a low-calorie diet, or a high-calorie diet with resveratrol, the resveratrol-supplemented high-calorie group did not exhibit some of the adverse metabolic effects associated with this diet. The resveratrol-supplemented mice were more insulin sensitive, did not develop fatty liver, and lived longer. The resveratrol fed mice also had improved muscle function, and in one study the mice did not gain weight. Resveratrol appears to work by activating specific genes that result in modulation of cellular activity, including up-regulation of the SIRT-1 enzyme, which acts as a cellular switch that supports mitochondrial function and increases the number of mitochondria in each cell. An increase in cellular mitochondria results in more efficient energy production within the cell and may relate to more efficient fat metabolism and increase longevity. SIRT-1 also is involved in blood glucose regulation, insulin sensitivity, and cell survival. Its impact on the SIRT-1 enzyme is just one of many cellular effects resveratrol has on the body. Resveratrol also modulates the activity of cellular transcription factors like NF-KB, which helps regulate the body's normal inflammatory response, cell proliferation, and immune activity. Resveratrol supports cardiovascular function via its antioxidant activity and by increasing the activity of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), thus increasing the production of nitric oxide in vascular endothelial cells. This results in healthier blood vessels. better regulation of vasodilation and blood flow, and decreased adhesion of inflammatory cells in blood vessels. Resveratrol is considered by some researchers to be the molecule in red wine that explains the "French Paradox," an epidemiological observation that the French, who eat more saturated fat and drink more alcohol than citizens of many other countries, have a lower risk of cardiovascular disease. Resveratrol's support of the body's normal inflammatory response and its health-promoting effects in blood vessels may partly explain this observation. Quick Absorption and Rapic MetabolismWhen a resveratrol supplement is ingested it is quickly absorbed from the small intestine; then, after reaching the liver, sulfur or a glucuronic acid molecule attaches to the resveratrol, which inactivates it. This rapid metabolism of resveratrol has caused researchers to doubt whether resveratrol taken orally results in high enough blood levels to have the effects in the body that have been seen in numerous in vitro and animal studies. PolyResveratrol-SR...Pure Resveratrol with Botanicals and a Synergistic MetabolitePolyResveratrol-SR contains 100% trans-resveratrol, not an extract that is 50% or less resveratrol. PolyResveratrol-SR contains pure trans-pterostilbene, a naturally-occurring methylated metabolite of resveratrol that appears to be better absorbed than resveratrol and is not as easily broken down in the liver. Animal and in vitro studies show pterostilbene has anti-aging effects similar to resveratrol but reaches higher blood levels and is longer lasting in the body. The flavonoid quercetin has a positive effect on resveratrol metabolism. Research has shown quercetin not only slows the breakdown of resveratrol in the body, it also acts as a potent antioxidant and is synergistic with the activities of resveratrol. PolyResveratrol-SR contains Thorne's patented water soluble quercetin for better absorption. Studies show curcumin supports the body's normal inflammatory response, promotes liver detoxification, and demonstrates synergistic anti-aging activity with resveratrol. In fact, curcumin and resveratrol given together resulted in a 15% greater antioxidant effect than either given separately. PolyResveratrol-SR contains the Curcumin Phytosome Meriva, which is significantly better absorbed than a standardized curcumin extract. Green Tea Phytosome has a positive effect on fat metabolism, promotes optimal liver detoxification, is a potent antioxidant, and is highly absorbed. These properties and others allow green tea polyphenols, including EGCG, to work synergistically with the activities of resveratrol. These synergistic substances in PolyResveratrol-SR optimize the metabolism and utilization of resveratrol and enhance its numerous metabolic, cardioprotective, hepatoprotective, and anti-aging properties. The Science of Time-SorbPolyResveratrol-SR's unique formulation is in Thorne Research's patent-pending time-release matrix (Time-Sorb) that promotes higher and more consistent blood levels of the ingredients over time. PolyResveratrol-SR is the only resveratrol supplement with synergistic botanicals and metabolites in a time-release matrix. Thorne Research's MissionAt Thorne Research, their mission is to enhance the health and well-being of people by providing superior dietary supplements that have the highest level of quality and purity – thereby creating the most respected and valued company in the dietary supplement industry. The Thorne Difference. For more than 25 years, Thorne has relentlessly pursued the highest possible quality and bioavailability in dietary supplements. At Thorne, they actually manufacture products that they sell – a key difference that allows Thorne to control every aspect of the manufacturing process and ensure that every Thorne product is in pure, completely hypoallergenic form, and without the common additives, flowing agents, and binders used throughout the industry. A few other companies have tried to do what Thorne does, and many others claim to have the same philosophy and quality, but nobody has been able to duplicate what Thorne's clients call "Thorne Quality." Thorne has changed the industry in many ways over the past two decades, and they continue to raise the bar and set new standards in product formulation, raw material purity, manufacturing, and quality control. Thorne's Commitment to PurityPractitioners have become accustomed to seeing the vague "We use only the purest ingredients" in the promotional materials of almost every dietary supplement company. Perhaps these companies truly believe that. Perhaps they don't know any better. Nevertheless, Thorne Research, for more than 25 years, has been the standard by which companies in the industry are judged for product purity. Practitioners rely on Thorne as the company they trust for their extremely allergic, chemically sensitive, and immune-compromised patients. Purity Takes Extra EffortFor example, instead of purchasing prediluted vitamin D, as other companies do, Thorne performs its own dilution to avoid detrimental ingredients, such as the preservatives or lactose that are found in many commercially available dilutions. Why must vitamin D be diluted? Because in its pure form, it is too concentrated to safely blend into a vitamin product. Pure vitamin D is 40 MILLION International Units (IU) per gram. The RDA for adults is 600-800 IU per day. To ensure proper mixing, it must be made into a dilute powder that flows and does not lose potency. So, unlike companies that use prediluted vitamin D that contains unacceptable excipients and preservatives, at Thorne, pure pharmaceutical vitamin D is first blended with pure mixed tocopherol vitamin E, and the resultant stable vitamin D is then blended with hypoallergenic cellulose powder. The final powder is blended in a large tumble blender and subsequently analyzed. Not only is the final product stable; it is also hypoallergenic and can be mixed homogeneously and at a safe level with other powders. Just as with vitamin D, Thorne utilizes similar processes for other raw materials, such as vitamin K, leaving it to other companies to purchase commercially available raw materials filled with unacceptable ingredients and preservatives. Ingredients You Don't WantMagnesium Stearate: Good for speed-hungry encapsulating machines. Not necessarily good for you. Manufacturing encapsulated dietary supplements isn't easy. Pure powdered ingredients are difficult to mix because they are either extremely dry, sticky with botanical oils, or attract unwanted moisture. So most manufacturers add magnesium stearate and other agents such as lactose and dextrose to make the powder flow quickly and easily through their high-volume machines. Problem is, these additives may compromise the bioavailability of the nutrients in the supplement, and might cause allergenic problems. At Thorne, they take a different approach. Thorne will never utilize large fatty acid excipients in its manufacturing processes – ingredients such as magnesium stearate or stearic acid. These excipients are utilized as flowing agents to ensure that maximum productivity is obtained from capsuling and tableting machines. There are documented detrimental effects directly attributed to long chain fatty acids utilized as manufacturing flowing agents. Every qualified pharmaceutical compounder recognizes that large fatty acids, such as magnesium stearate, can interfere with product dissolution and influence absorption. Virtually all companies, because of the economic impact, ignore this data. As with most industries, the bottom line dictates the level of quality. The dietary supplement industry has one exception: Thorne Research, the company that does not compromise. Nevertheless, if a company cannot manufacture products without using detrimental excipients, they should not allude to being either "hypoallergenic" or "pure." The Bottom Line?Thorne is the only hypoallergenic dietary supplement manufacturer with the highest degree of purity that you – and your most severely allergic, chemically sensitive, and immune-compromised patients – can truly trust. Quality Ingredients: A Higher StandardAt Thorne, they are committed to setting a higher standard of quality when it comes to ingredients. To produce their truly hypoallergenic encapsulated supplements, Thorne uses only the purest and finest ingredients available. Every manufacturer has two basic options when purchasing raw materials: purchase either truly pure raw materials, or purchase raw materials to which substances have been added to facilitate manufacturing. This fundamental dilemma translates to these very typical questions: "Do I purchase pure vitamin C or vitamin C with additives?" "Do I purchase pure B vitamins or coated B vitamins for taste masking?" "Do I purchase pure enzymes such as pancreatin, pepsin, and bromelain or enzymes diluted with lactose?" There are few commercial sources for vitamins B12, D, K, or biotin that are not diluted with substances such as lactose, cornstarch, and preservatives such as BHT. That's why Thorne developed methods that allow them to use pure, undiluted sources of these nutrients – and many others. It's just one more example that when it comes to quality, what everyone else accepts as an industry standard isn't good enough. While some companies say they are raising their standards....at Thorne they set them.

O2, the UK mobile arm of Spain's Telefonica, has added almost six times as many customers on full contracts during the first nine months of this year as it did in the whole of 2011.
The mobile giant said it has also now passed the point where most of its UK customers are on the more profitable contracts than on less lucrative pay-as-you-go charges. Smartphones continued to drive new sales but the company said the UK remains "aggressively competitive".
Smartphones accounted for 89 per cent of this year's handset sales and 44 per cent of O2's 22.5 million mobile customers now own one.
The Tesco Mobile joint venture, which is not included in O2's total customer base, grew by 20 per cent year on year to reach 3.3 million customers at the end of the quarter.

Top 5 Palm Tree Care Mistakes
Palm trees are very beautiful trees that most people like to have in their homes to enhance the appearances of their places. These trees are however very delicate and most people who try to growth fail due to some of the wrong habits that they practice on the trees. This article put together by a friend of mine who runs a tree service in Englewood covers some of the common palm tree care mistakes that most people make.
Watering them too much:
Most palm trees wilt and fall very fast without even drying up. The reason why most of them turn color is due to over watering a new palm plant. A palm tree needs to have very good drainage so that it may be able to prosper well. This is very easy. One has to add about 50% of sand and mix it with the soil that the palm tree is growing on. One should then water the palm tree at most once every day and it needs to be adequate water, not too much.
Not giving the palm tree enough water:
The leaf tips of a new palm tree will start browning and wilt if the palm tree does not get the correct amount of water that it needs. Inefficient water will cause the plant to weaken until it dies. For a palm tree to prosper, it needs to be put in moist and well-drained soil so that it be able to get the correct nutrients that it needs for it to grow healthily. The moisture in the soil needs to go deep down up to the roots of the palm tree for it to grow strongly.
Damaged Roots:
Most trees need to have fertilizer for them to grow strongly and this is not different with the palm tree. However, adding fertilizer to the soil when planting a new palm tree will cause it to wilt off and die prematurely. The reason why this is so is the nature of the tree's roots. A palm tree has very delicate roots. This means that when you add the fertilizer on the soil before planting, it is guaranteed that this will get into contact with the roots of the new tree. This will then most definitely damage the roots and damaged roots will guarantee wilting of the tree as it will not have any firm hold and support from below.
Burn from Fertilizers
A palm tree is delicate thus can easily get a burn from the fertilizers added to it. When you add fertilizer very closely to the tree trunk, it will definitely damage the trunk. Damaging the palm tree trunk will make it unable to fight off any diseases thus it becomes prone to tree infections and has a very small survival window. When adding fertilizer to the palm tree, it is advisable to keep at least 2 meters from the trunk so as to avoid any burn damages.
Failure to add fertilizer:
Just like any other tree, a palm tree needs to get enough nutrients for it to grow healthy and properly. Failure to add fertilizer to the soil will cause the tree to lack these additional nutrients that the fertilizer would provide it with. Therefore ensure that you fertilize your tree at least four times a year especially during the warm months. You should, however, avoid putting it close to the trunk or the roots of the palm tree.
