Cousins, Gay and Thomas lead Kings past Nuggets
By Aaron J. Lopez, Nuggets.com
Posted Feb. 23, 2014 23:11
The Denver Nuggets had a dynamic duo in Evan Fournier and Randy Foye.
It was trumped by Sacramento's tremendous trio of DeMarcus Cousins, Rudy Gay and Isaiah Thomas.
Cousins, Gay and Thomas accounted for 92 points Sunday night and the Kings used a monster third quarter to pull away for a 109-95 victory over the Nuggets at Pepsi Center.
"Ultimately, they had three guys that we couldn't stop," Denver coach Brian Shaw said.
Cousins, Gay and Thomas outscored the Nuggets 35-18 in the third quarter to help Sacramento turn a four-point halftime deficit into a 17-point lead heading into the fourth. The Kings never let Denver get closer than 10 as they snapped a nine-game losing streak at Pepsi Center.
Sacramento held the Nuggets to .302 shooting in the second half and became the first visitor this season to win in Denver while playing the second of back-to-back games.
"To start the third quarter, our starting group played terrific defense," Sacramento coach Michael Malone said. "To come in here on a back-to-back, this isn't an easy place to win. It has only happened nine times in the last five years and they were 5-0 this season in back-to-back games like this."
Coming off a 28-point loss to Chicago on Friday, the Nuggets (25-30) were hoping to bounce back against the Kings, who entered the night with seven road wins.
Shaw wanted his team to show some fight, and Denver responded with a better effort, particularly in the first half. Behind Fournier's hot shooting, the Nuggets led by as many as 13 points in the second quarter but couldn't sustain the pace after Sacramento closed to within four at the break.
Fournier scored 20 of his career-high 27 points in the first half, while Foye scored 22 of his 27 in the second half.
"It's tough, man," Foye said. "There's really no excuses. We basically controlled the whole first half. To come out and give up 39 points in the third quarter is unacceptable. It's tough, but we have to stay together, keep fighting and keep believing.
"Everybody goes through times like this during the season, but it shows character with who gives in and who keeps fighting. I think it's important for us to keep fighting, keep pushing and just understand that if you keep the right attitude and you stay together, things will turn around."
The Nuggets have lost seven of their last eight games but still have five of the next six at home, starting with Tuesday's matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers.
While not satisfied with the latest result, Shaw was encouraged to see better energy from his team, compared to two nights earlier in Chicago.
"I've always said that I can live with us giving the effort and the energy, playing hard and competing," he said. "If we lose, I can live with that. Tonight's game, in terms of effort, was different than the last game we played against Chicago, so I can live with that. It was a tough night. We played three decent quarters, but one really terrible quarter is what did us in."
Kings break away in the third quarter
The Nuggets led by four at halftime and were up seven before the Kings went on a 21-2 run over a 4:54 span of the third quarter to seize control. Denver could never get closer than 10 in the fourth.
Postgame Quotes
Nuggets coach Brian Shaw
On the Kings having unstoppable players:
"Ultimately, they had three guys that we couldn't stop. Between Isiah Thomas, DeMarcus Cousins and Rudy Gay, they had 92 points … That third quarter just really did us in."
On what he told his team after the game:
"I told them that we have to stay together and keep working. Basically that's what it came down to."
On the Nuggets' effort tonight:
"For us, I've always said that I can live with us giving the effort and the energy, playing hard and competing and we lose, I can live with that but tonight's game in terms of effort was different in the last game we played against Chicago, I felt, so I can live with that tonight. It was a tough night. We played three decent quarters, but one really terrible quarter is what did us in."
Nuggets guard Randy Foye
On losing control of the game in the third quarter:
"It's tough man, there's really no excuses. We basically controlled the whole first half, we did what we wanted to do and then to come out and give up 39 points in the third quarter is unacceptable. It's tough, but we have to stay together, keep fighting and keep believing—just don't give in, that's the main thing. Everybody goes through times like this during the season, but it shows character with who gives in and who keeps fighting and I think it's important for us to keep fighting, keep pushing and just understand that if you keep the right attitude and you stay together things will turn around."
On Coach Shaw saying tonight's loss wasn't for lack of effort:
"It wasn't. As one of the leaders, I feel like I have to do a better job of pumping the guys up, talking louder and leading by example—verbally, physically and mentally."
On allowing DeMarcus Cousins, Isaiah Thomas and Rudy Gay to combine for 92 points tonight:
"That's something that coach has been talking to us about—whoever their go-to guys are, stop them. Make [Ben] McLemore score, [Jason] Thompson score. Make guys uncomfortable, and I think we have done a poor job of taking guys strengths away. Tomorrow is a new day, we have to continue to keep working and we have to stay together."
Nuggets forward Jan Vesely
On if it's been difficult jumping into the rotation without much practice with the team:
"It's tough. I've been here for three days and played two games already. It's tough, but all the guys on the court have been helping me and helping Aaron [Brooks] with all the plays and trying to fit in as seamlessly and quick as possible. I've really enjoyed my time here."
On making some high-energy plays and finishing strong tonight:
"I just tried to get on the floor and do what I can do the best—run the floor and play good defense and do the little things. I really enjoyed my time on the floor today."
On the Kings controlling the second half of play tonight:
"We just didn't start the second half the right way. It's tough—I'm new and Aaron [Brooks] is new on the team, so we can't really run most plays, but that's not an excuse, we have to start the second half much stronger."
Kings coach Michael Malone
On what he said to the team during halftime:
"I talked about how offensively we have to stop beating ourselves. Obviously to finish with 21 turnovers is not ideal. But I loved how we came out in the third quarter with a defensive mindset. We got off to a very good start, but then we let Evan Fournier and [the Nuggets] bench come in and dominate us. I think at halftime their bench outscored us 33-4. To start the third quarter, our starting group played terrific defense. To come in here on a back-to-back, this isn't an easy place to win. It has only happened nine times in the last five years and they were 5-0 this season in back-to-back games like this. So for our guys to hold two opponents, Boston and Denver, below 40 percent and below 100 points is a testament to our defense. Now if we can get our offense to a more efficient level and stop beating ourselves, we could be that much better."
On their defense tonight:
"We had 10 blocks tonight. Even Ben [McLemore] blocked [Timofey] Mozgov. We were active; we were making them feel us and we were protecting our basket. To be a good defensive team, you have to have a physical mindset. You have to make people feel you out there and I think we have done that lately, especially in that third quarter."
On closing the gap before halftime:
"Closing the gap before halftime was huge for us. That game was getting away from us in a hurry in that second quarter. As I mentioned, it was largely because of their bench. They came in and just got whatever they wanted. You have to give [Evan] Fournier credit, he played terrific tonight. We cut it down to four points at halftime and that allowed us to come back into the game after halftime with that same momentum. We always stress to close the quarter and I think the way we closed out the half tonight was very important to us being able to win tonight."
Kings guard Isaiah Thomas:
On overall team performance:
"We played a solid game overall. In the first half I felt like they were getting what they wanted but we ended the second quarter on a run that really helped us going into the third quarter. That third quarter kind of dictated the game which was good for us."
On the third quarter:
"We were getting stops first and foremost. We got stops and got out and ran. That's when we are at our best, when we are in transition and being in attack mode. It starts on the defensive end."
Kings forward Rudy Gay:
On overall performance:
"We got after them defensively. [Evan] Fournier was hurting us in the first half. We got out and we guarded him. They still hit tough shots but for the most part we attacked them, got to the foul line and found the open man."
On the third quarter:
"It was our aggressiveness plus we didn't turn the ball over as much that quarter. This team, especially in this elevation, thrives off of turnovers. They can turn a turnover into two points very quickly and we didn't allow them to do that."
On back-to-back wins:
"We're growing. We are taking baby steps and we're getting there. It's going to take some time but this is just a little bit of what we can be in the future."
• Evan Fournier scored a career-high 27 points (8-11 FG, 4-5 3FG) to go with four rebounds and five assists. Over his last four contests, Fournier is averaging 17.0 points, 6.3 rebounds and 3.0 assists while shooting .450 (9-20 3FG) from three-point range.
• Randy Foye posted 27 points (6-11 3FG) and six rebounds tonight. It was Foye's eighth 20-point game of the year and his second in as many games. Foye is averaging 25.0 points and 3.0 rebounds while shooting .516 (16-31 FG) from the field and .611 (11-18 3FG) from long range in his last two games.

DTM CHAMPIONSHIP GOES DOWN TO THE WIRE AS PAFFETT PICKS UP A FURTHER FIVE POINTS British DTM driver Gary Paffett took a solid fourth place in today's race at Hockenheim which saw him pick up a further five Championship points and means that the...
British DTM driver Gary Paffett took a solid fourth place in today's race at Hockenheim which saw him pick up a further five Championship points and means that the title is now unlikely to be decided until the season finale in Shanghai.
With three races to go, and 16 points separating the top three drivers in the Championship, it was all to play for as Paffett took to the rain-drenched track on Saturday afternoon for the qualifying session.
Adapting well to the tricky track conditions, Gary comfortably got through to the third part of qualifying and posted a lap time of 1:37.982. This saw him secure third place on the grid - the highest placed Mercedes driver; ahead of his Championship rivals di Resta (P5) and Spengler (P10).
On Sunday afternoon and on a dry track, Paffett lined up his Salzgitter Mercedes-Benz on the second row of the grid of the newly configured Hockenheim race circuit.
When the lights went out, Gary maintained his third position into the first corner and began to attack Rockenfeller for second place. Almost immediately, a collision on lap one at the rear of the field brought out the safety car and put the racing on hold.
After five laps, the safety car came in and the racing resumed. At the restart, Paffett stayed right on the back of second placed Rockenfeller and began to attack him for position. The car was handling well and Paffett was able to attack hard.
Paffett spent the next six laps continuing to look for a way past Rockenfeller, while also defending his third position from di Resta.
On lap 12 Paffett made his first pitstop and rejoined the track in P7. Despite a combination of a strong pit stop and some quick laps by Paffett, Rockenfeller was able to pit and rejoin the track just ahead of him.
On lap 23 the 2010 DTM Championship was thrown wide open when the current Championship leader Spengler was forced to retire with a suspected problem with the rear left wheel suspension. This left only two title contenders in the race -- Paffett and di Resta.
For the past ten laps Paffett had been suffering from a loss of grip and oversteer and as a result he had been dropping back from Rockenfeller. The team made a decision to bring Paffett in on lap 25 for an early pitstop to give him fresh tyres and attempt to rectify the problem.
Paffett rejoined the track in P8 and while the rest of the field took their second pitstops, Paffett focused on closing the gap to the cars in front.
The car was strong for the next five laps, but then Paffett suffered from the same issue as before with the rear tyres going off, losing grip and suffering from oversteer.
On lap 36 Di Resta was the last driver to make his second pitstop. This late pitstop strategy meant that he was able to leapfrog Paffett, Rockenfeller and Schieder, which left Paffett in P4 with eleven laps to go.
The oversteer and lack of grip was particularly bad during the last five laps of the race which meant Tomczyk was able to close the gap to Paffett.
Despite this, Paffett managed to hold off an attack from Tomczyk and crossed the line in a solid fourth position; picking up another five Championship points.
"With only three races to go, the aim was always to win this race and pick up maximum points so I am a little disappointed with fourth position. The conditions have been variable all weekend so while I was fairly pleased with P3 for qualifying, the lack of dry running meant we weren't able to get the balance of the car right so the race was tough;" commented Paffett.
"However, as we saw today with Bruno's retirement, anything can happen with racing and there are still 20 points up to grab so I will be approaching the final two races with the aim of taking both wins;" continued Paffett.
Today's result sees Paffett maintain his third place in the Championship with 49 points, 11 points behind second-placed Spengler and 14 points behind Di Resta who is now leading the Championship. With two races to go in the 2010 season Paffett's team - Salzgitter Mercedes-Benz AMG - currently lead the team ranking with (109) points.
Gary Paffett will head to Adria for Round Ten of the Championship on the 31st October.

The so-called "continuous monitoring" of systems is becoming a hot topic in government. That's because under federal guidelines, agencies must report how they protect their information systems, plus, agencies are now required to submit real-time data about the state of their networks.
Continuous monitoring doesn't mean systems have to be watched every minute. Even now, some agencies are able to monitor their systems through international networks at least once a day.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|28 nights
Two Bedroom one bath, one sleeper sofa canal front cottage. Enjoy the 50 foot dock on a deep water canal. Fully equipped air conditioned home including full size convection oven, microwave, ice maker,dishwasher, washer/dryer. Pack only your clothes and food! We provide all linen, paper products, some toiletries, and cooking essentials. Relax under our arbor and watch the manatees and wildlife in the canal or let the kids fish off our dock. We also have bicycles for you to explore the key and a recently added 2 person kayak. We only rent monthly. Rates are $3000+200 clng fee.
We owned property on Plantation Key already but when we saw this one available we fell in love with the open living space, cute cottage style and at home style amenities
We stayed for four weeks in the rental. Let me say, it was better than we could have expected. The owner was quick to address any questions or concerns. It was like a home away from home. The furnishings were nice, master bed was great, full kitchen that we used extensively, dockage perfect for most any boat. Located about 2 miles from groceries and drug store, hardware stores, etc. a few miles further south is Islamorada...docakge on canal; that is minutes from Tavernier Creek providing easy access to both the back bay and the Atlantic and its reefs. Next time we do a vacation in the keys...it WILL be here...
My husband and I rented the house for the month of February. It was the most wonderful time we have had in long time. The place was great, exactly how it was pictured and described. It was close to everything we wanted to do and just a walk across the street to a little grocery store. The highlight of our trip was waking up and having coffee with the manatee's every morning. They would be just hanging out in the canal. I would recommend this place to anyone and I can't wait to book again for next year!
My husband and I had a great vacation in the keys over the Thanksgiving holiday. This cottage in Islamorada was perfect. The description and photos accurately reflect the appearance and amenities.
When we first arrived, we automatically noticed how the cottage was clean, updated, and well-maintained. We loved the backyard, which is on a canal with a relaxing pergola and hammock. The owners were extremely helpful and easy to contact with any questions and/or concerns. There is a great restaurant right by the cottage with yummy food and drinks. Make sure you check out all the local restaurants/bars. The owners provided us with a great list of places. Also, we drove down to Key West one day too, it was a beautiful drive. We were able to bring our golden retriever. All of the bars/restaurants are pet-friendly and we really enjoyed taking her everywhere with us. Also, check out Anne's Beach. It's a free beach with canopies right on the Atlantic Ocean and again pet-friendly.
One morning we saw three manatees in the canal behind the cottage. That afternoon one manatee came right up to where we were sitting. It was an amazing experience!!
We would recommend this amazing cottage to any friends or relatives. We know you will love it just as much as we did.
across the street from a small grocery store which is next to a famous fish sandwich restaurant-Craigs. I love their huge chicken sandwich! Winn-Dixie is one mile away. Best happy hour is at Hog Heaven-about 83 mile marker, oceanside.

You can follow people
Or you can follow God
It is your choice
You have to decide
If you do not follow
The wicked people
So happy you will be
God is there for you
If you dont go where
Sinners go
Then you wont be in trouble
No problems
You can be strong
Like a tree
Standing tall
Teach others about God
Everything you do
Will succeed
When the wicked will blow away
The wicked will be destroyed
The Lord will listen to you
Answer your prayers
He will be with you
To the end.

20 track compilation that spans the career of groovy soulster Archie Bell, and his group The Drells. The set includes Bell's huge hit "Tighten Up", but it's also got a great array of other material from his different recording periods – all of which show him pushing way past his original groove, into a much richer soul vein. There's even stuff from his early and later Philly years – and titles include "My Balloon's Going Up", "(There's Gonna Be A) Showdown", "Girl You're Too Young", "Soul City Walk", "Strategy", "I Could Dance All Night", and "Ain't Nothing For A Man In Love". © 1996-2017, Dusty Groove, Inc.
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.
We have only one grade for non-new CDs at Dusty Groove — "Used CD". This grade is somewhat all-encompassing, but we choose it because we try to offer Used CDs in the best shape possible. All of our Used CDs are guaranteed to play without skipping or flaws. If you purchase a Used CD from Dusty Groove, you have 1 week to play it to determine that it plays correctly — and if it does not, then you may return it for a full refund.
With our Used CDs, you can expect the disc to be free of all but the lightest of surface marks — clean, and not dirty at all. You can also expect the case to be clean (we often change the cases ourselves — putting fresh cases on Used CDs we handle) — and you can expect the booklet to be in good shape, unless noted otherwise. We will list any specific details/defects underneath the item — so look for notes on cutout marks in the case, stamps on the barcode, or details like that.

Last fall, a disagreement arose between officials at San Diego Unified and Southland Electric, one of the district's contractors.
The district was being audited and had concerns about the pay rate of a Southland employee who worked on a job at Garfield High School.
Andy Berg, who works for Southland and dozens of other electrical contractors as the head of their association, wrote district staffer George Harris III on July 30, 2014: "George, Any idea why it would be a problem if the contractor overpaid an employee? Andy."
Berg eventually looped in Lee Dulgeroff, San Diego Unified's chief facilities planning and construction officer, and Harris's boss.

Valvrave's OP and ED may just be the most catchiest DUO PAIR of the entire season.
Any other season with an awesome OP AND ED?
Kyojin's OP is sweet but a bit harsh/fatiguing to the ears and its ED isn't as awesome.
A lot of anime this season have good OP/ED's I've noticed

Just bought a 89' Islander
3 Attachment(s)
Hello, i recently bought a 1989 Jeep Wrangler Islander Edition. 109k miles. This is my first Jeep and i'm looking forward to fixing it up and use it as my DD. I posted a few pics. I think its basically stock and it hasn't been used for about 1yr. The Jeep didn't turn on at first but after cleaning the Carb with the help of a friend, we got the jeep to turn on.... but now i notice that the Jeep emits white smoke from the engine area...more so by the manifold area. Do y'all think i have an oil leak there? i plan on using some engine degreaser and cleaning it and take it from there to see where exactly the leak is....also wondering what else i would need to change/replace as far as necessary maintenance for a Jeep this old...any help would be greatly appreciated. Im no mechanic but i have my trusty Haynes repair manual! lol :punk:
looks good is everything still stock, ie carb? They have been alot of problems
White smoke would be anti-freeze
Nice jeep, I got the 2010 islander,
Thumbs on the antifreeze, as far as other maintenance you just have to play it as you go.
There's no way of knowing util you drive and test things.
Ok nice rig, but I don't see any tools in that garage.
Not good, lmao
lol thnks for the input guys. As far as the carb, i beleive its the stock one but not 100% certain. Im planning on putting on a 3.5"- 4" suspension lift with 33" tires. Any suggestions on the lift brand would be greatly appreciated! Im leaning towards a superlift superide 3.5" or a black diamond.
can't beat the islander. they had such cool color's and had decent options form the factory.
nice rig!
Leave it run for at least 30 minutes. A lot of times its just cleaners or something on the manifold burning off. Now, if its shooting white smoke out the tail pipe even after 30 minutes of running to burn off any condinsation in there, then you may have a head gasket going. But again, that would be a cloud pushing out the tailpipe like james bond's smoke screen.
Looks like a nice little YJ there! Do some polishing and what not.
Also check your wheel bearings and brake calipers. Common for those to stick or start sticking after sitting. I recently pulled my hubs apart since mine was sitting and it was just nasty dried up crusty grease inside.
So I cleaned everything and re-greased it all.
May want to check all of your axle, trans, transfer case fluids as well.
Determine if you have a severe leak (the white smoke), if you do not, then I would probably do new plugs and wires, cap and rotor.
If you have to replace the HG, then do that with new bolts and whatever seals are associated. Then replace the above mentioned.
Definitely let it run for a while, or drive it out on a country road for an hour or so to get all the fluids flowing and condensation out of the exhaust and catalytic converter.
Be sure you check your bushings on your leaf springs and steering components too.
A vehicle that has been sitting is often in worse shape than one that gets driven every day.

I have a 1990 islander myself, great jeep.

89 here. On a hunt for a blue/teal one now.

Any of you guys have the original spare tire cover?
All very nice looking jeeps, and thanks for all the advice. First thing i did was clean the engine with degreaser. I took out the manifold and replaced the gasket. To my surprise the bolts were all loose! I made sure to cleaned the edges where the new gasket goes real good. Once everything was put back in place... Ill let it rip and waited for the engine to get warm. To my surprise, it was still smoking... Less than before but still smoke coming out. I believe its coming out of the headers. Oh and sorry guys it was more like gray smoke than white. Again i appreciate the info guys.

Congrats on your jeep! I have an 89 Islander that was my first vehicle. I sold it and regretted it daily. My husband called the people and talked them into selling it back so that he could propose with it. Wonder if my answer would have been the same without the jeep.... ;-) I am restoring it now.

A Murdoch University PhD candidate has won a $4500 scholarship to develop diagnostic tests for a pine tree pest.
Matthew Tan from the School of Biology and Biotechnology will travel to the city of Tsukuba, near Tokyo, for a week to learn how to collect field samples and undertake molecular identification of the pest, which is known as a pine wood nematode (PWN).
PWNs are a major problem for trees in Japan and China, and have recently been found in Portugal and Spain. But they have not yet made their way to Australia.
"We believe it could only be a matter of time before they arrive on these shores, so we need to learn as much as we can about them," said Mr Tan, who has won the scholarship from the Australasian Plant Pathology Society, the Phytopathological Society of Japan and the Australia-Japan Foundation.
"The samples I will be collecting will help to address a real biosecurity issue. The Australian pine sawlog production industry is worth about $800m per annum so PWN is classed as an emergency plant pest that would have a serious economic impact if introduced into Australia."
Mr Tan, who lives in Riverton, WA, said the PWN has a fascinating life cycle, which involves the nematodes highjacking a ride on pine beetles newly emerged from their pupae, which then transport them to the tops of new pine trees. This enables the nematodes to cross distances to other trees and infect them. The nematodes multiply rapidly in the host tree's vascular tissue, and infested pine trees can die in a matter of weeks from water stress.
"The visit will also provide me with a new perspective and ideas that I can apply to my own PhD studies into nematode diagnosis and identification," added Mr Tan, whose PhD is being fully supported by the Cooperative Research Centre for National Plant Biosecurity.
Mr Tan will be working with leading researchers in Japan, including Dr Natsumi Kanzaki, one of the experts on PWN at the Forest Pathology Laboratory, Forest and Forest Products Research Institute.
He will be leaving for Japan on April 12.

TYWKIWDBI ("Tai-Wiki-Widbee")
"Things You Wouldn't Know If We Didn't Blog Intermittently."
24 February 2017
I'm tired of blogging, and I'm scheduled to give a lecture next weekend, so I'll plan to use much of this coming week to get materials ready for that. You guys are on your own for a while.
From the archives of The New Yorker.
Nazi-grave robbers are not Nazi grave-robbers
"In Latvia, it is normal for you to have dead soldiers on your yard," Esmits said. "When people came back to their homes after the war, they saw there was a dead soldier here and a dead soldier there, and they just buried them."..Much more at the source.
During the final months of World War II, Latvia was the site of especially bloody battles between German and Soviet forces. Approximately 350,000 Nazis were cut off here from the rest of the German line in the autumn of 1944, in what became known as the Courland Pocket. In the months that followed, about 100,000 of them were killed...
... in recent years, the often illicit market in Nazi memorabilia has intensified, creating a new class of diggers across eastern Europe that is at odds with Esmits's work. Of particular interest are relics... Some $50 million in military memorabilia is sold each year, according to an estimate by the Guardian, and Nazi items fetch a premium...
For the Volksbund, grave robbing remains a persistent problem, especially in Russia and Ukraine. "Grave robbers blight our work," Kirchmeier says. Many illegal diggers dutifully give over information to officials if they come across a dead body, he says, but others "open graves and then take out anything they can sell—steel helmets, pieces of equipment, medals, belt buckles, personal mementos belonging to the dead, sometimes even the skull, leaving the rest of the bones on the forest floor."
Yngve Sjodin, a Norway-based militaria seller who sometimes digs with Legenda, says he was confronted with a "black digger" during one of his first digs for soldiers in Latvia, in 2014. "He screamed at us that it was his forest," he says, "and started attacking the guy next to me." He adds, "The driving force for the black diggers is money, which they need to survive, or party, or whatever."
Metabolic markers for chronic fatigue syndrome. Fascinating.
Excerpt from an abstract at the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science:
"Dauer," btw, is the German word for "duration."
We targeted 612 metabolites in plasma from 63 biochemical pathways by hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography, electrospray ionization, and tandem mass spectrometry in a single-injection method. Patients with CFS showed abnormalities in 20 metabolic pathways. Eighty percent of the diagnostic metabolites were decreased, consistent with a hypometabolic syndrome...More on dauer, which resembles hibernation, but is not the same thing:
Our data show that despite the heterogeneity of factors leading to CFS, the cellular metabolic response in patients was homogeneous, statistically robust, and chemically similar to the evolutionarily conserved persistence response to environmental stress known as dauer.
Many of the pathways and metabolites that were abnormal in CFS are also known to be features of dauer, a well-studied, long-lived survival and persistence state triggered by environmental stress...This is really quite interesting, since most people probably have a bias toward assuming that "chronic fatigue" is a psychological or emotional disorder. The idea that it is a mitochondrial disorder is thought-provoking.
The developmental stage of dauer is a hypometabolic state capable of living efficiently by altering a number of basic mitochondrial functions, fuel preferences, behavior, and physical features. Dauer is comprised of an evolutionarily conserved and synergistic suite of metabolic and structural changes that are triggered by exposure to adverse environmental conditions. Entry into dauer confers a survival advantage in harsh conditions. When the dauer response is blocked by certain mutations (dauer defectives), animals are short-lived when exposed to environmental stress. These mutations show that the latent ability to enter into a hypometabolic state during times of environmental threat is adaptive, even though it comes at the cost of decreasing the optimal functional capacity..
"Dauer," btw, is the German word for "duration."
Bees are endangered. Or not.
USA Today:
A bumblebee is now on the endangered species list for the first time in a "race against extinction," the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced Tuesday.Counterpoint from the Washington Post:
The agency placed the rusty patched bumblebee on the list because of a dramatic population decline over the past 20 years. Since the late 1990s, the population of the species has plummeted 87%.
Named because of the rust-colored marks on its back, the bee was once common and abundant across 28 states from Connecticut to South Dakota. Today, the bee is only found in small, scattered populations in 13 states...
It's not just the rusty patched bumblebee that is struggling in the U.S. Other species have experienced dramatic declines in recent decades. The reduction is believed to be caused by a combination of habitat loss, disease, pesticide use, climate change and an extremely small population size...
This is the first bee of any type in the continental U.S. to be placed on the list. In September, the Obama administration designated seven species of bees in Hawaii as endangered.
You've probably heard the bad news by now that bees were recently added to the endangered species list for the first time. But if you're part of the 60 percent of people who share stories without actually reading them, you might have missed an important detail: namely, that the newly endangered bees are a handful of relatively obscure species who live only in Hawaii.
The bees you're more familiar with — the ones that buzz around your yard dipping into flowers, making honey, pollinating crops and generally keeping the world's food supply from collapsing? Those bees are doing just fine, according to data released by the USDA this year...
The number of commercial bee colonies is still significantly higher than it was in 2006, when colony collapse disorder — the mass die-offs that began afflicting U.S. honeybee colonies — was first documented...
"Honey bees are not about to go extinct," Kim Kaplan, a researcher with the USDA, said in an email. "It is the beekeepers who are in danger, facing unsustainable economic losses."
"Flash in the pan" explained
The flash pan or priming pan is a small receptacle for priming powder, found next to the touch hole on muzzleloading guns. A small amount of finely ground gunpowder is placed in the flash pan and ignited. The flash of flame travels through the touch hole igniting the main charge of propellant inside the barrel,,,Photo credit.
The ignition of the main charge from the flash pan was not a guaranteed operation, however, and sometimes it failed. In those cases the spark would flash in the pan, but the gun would fail to fire. This led by the end of the 17th century to the expression "flash in the pan" to mean a failure after a brief and showy start, or momentary sensation of no real importance.
The power to arrest peaceful demonstrators
Claiming people are being paid to riot, [Arizona] Republican state senators voted Wednesday to give police new power to arrest anyone who is involved in a peaceful demonstration that may turn bad — even before anything actually happened...
But the real heart of the legislation is what Democrats say is the guilt by association — and giving the government the right to criminally prosecute and seize the assets of everyone who planned a protest and everyone who participated. And what's worse, said Sen. Steve Farley, D-Tucson, is that the person who may have broken a window, triggering the claim there was a riot, might actually not be a member of the group but someone from the other side...
But Sen. John Kavanagh, R-Fountain Hills, said that chilling effect is aimed at a very specific group of protesters."You now have a situation where you have full-time, almost professional agent-provocateurs that attempt to create public disorder,'' he said."A lot of them are ideologues, some of them are anarchists,'' Kavanagh continued. "But this stuff is all planned.''There's something else: By including rioting in racketeering laws, it actually permits police to arrest those who are planning events. And Kavanagh, a former police officer, said if there are organized groups, "I should certainly hope that our law enforcement people have some undercover people there.''
Classic black ops. You plant your people in a peaceful group, have your guy perform an illegal violent act, then arrest all the others.

Golf: 25 hours. Foreign relations: 21 hours
Donald Trump regularly assailed President Barack Obama for playing golf, then spent the first weekends of his own presidency doing just that. He attacked Obama for using Air Force One to campaign, and did it over the weekend just a month into the job. He mocked Obama for heading out of Washington at taxpayer expense, but appears to have no qualms about doing so himself...
"Donald Trump has zero worry about contradicting himself, because he does it all day long," said Douglas Brinkley, a presidential historian who has met with Trump. "He figures he can get away with it because he does it all the time. There is no worry about it. He says one thing and then does another, and his supporters don't hold it against him.
"Trump said last August that if he became president, he wouldn't have time for golf. "I'm going to be working for you, I'm not going to have time to go play golf," he said at an event in Virginia.Text from Politico. Infographic via Elle.

Goodbye to "Arbroath"
I started TYWKIWDBI in 2007, and within a couple months I had found my way to Nothing To Do With Arbroath, one of the best-known and best-loved blogs on the internet. Kevin Norman Gray harvested the news sites of the world to collect oddities and ephemera. In the last ten years I've used Kevin's blog as a "via" for over 200 posts, because his material was very much "things you wouldn't know."
Readers of "Arbroath" were startled this past November to see a personal post from a blogger who was always very private; he reported having an illness which would hamper his blogging. Sadly, he wrote a final post in January detailing a terminal illness, and shortly thereafter a blog reader found and posted a link to a death notice, which was later confirmed by the family.
Bloggers and blog-readers everywhere will miss Kevin's eclectic approach. Nothing To Do With Arbroath is still up, and since the blogspot host is free, it will probably remain available for the near future; I invite you to visit and browse. I note that I still have a couple dozen of his posts in my bookmarks folders, so I may do a compilation post in the future.
Rest in peace, Kevin.

"Biotwang" emanating from the Mariana Trench
YouTube link.
After months of speculation, scientists have finally identified the most likely source of a creepy audio recording from the deepest part of the ocean... [it] features five different sounds ranging from metallic to biological, and has been nicknamed the Western Pacific Biotwang...While these sounds are entirely unique in the scientific record, the best clue Nieukirk's team had for identifying them was an equally bizarre recoding from 2001, made in Australia's Great Barrier Reef... Known as the minke whale 'Star Wars' call, it sounds just as alien as this more recent recording, and the researchers say that based on similarities of frequency and structure, the Western Pacific Biotwang likely comes from the same type of animal.
It's easy to understand how ancient mariners would get creeped out by sounds echoing through the wooden hulls of their vessels in mid-ocean at night.
Credit only where credit is due
In his chapter on word choice, Harold Evans rightly takes issue with the misuse of the term "credit" in news media. In 2014, Boko Haram was "credited" with the kidnapping of 276 schoolgirls in Chibok, Nigeria. A year later, on the night of the terror attacks in Paris, a TV commentator reported that no one had yet "claimed credit." This is to ventriloquize the terrorists: to claim credit for an act is to imply its righteousness. Evans proposes a clearer-sighted alternative: "Nobody has yet admitted . . . responsibility."From an essay about the proper use of the English language in this month's Harper's. I quite agree with the sentiment expressed.

Donald Trump may have dyslexia
This video presents a very interesting proposition: that Donald Trump has difficulty reading. He has admitted - publicly and unabashedly - that he "doesn't" read (books, reports, briefings) and prefers to get his information from television. Examples are presented of him appearing to have problems reading when presented with documents during court testimony and public signings.
I think it's unfortunate that the video title questions whether Trump "knows how" to read. The problem, presuming it exists, would be a reading disability rather than a lack of knowledge of how to read. It would also explain his famously low-reading-level speech as being easier to memorize or to read off a teleprompter.
Dyslexia does not preclude advancement or competence in professions. Wikipedia's List of people diagnosed with dyslexia is long and impressive, including Alexander Graham Bell, Richard Branson, Lewis Carroll, Thomas Edison, David Rockefeller and many others.
If he is dyslexic, he really ought to come out and say so, and tell his staff that that is why he has avoided the morning briefings, and make arrangements for information to be presented to him in other ways. A public announcement would probably garner a measure of sympathy and perhaps some improved tolerance for his shenanigans.
19 February 2017
Snopes confirms that Mencken did make such a pronouncement in 1920 (using the term "downright moron").
In this case the attribution to Henry Louis Mencken, a prominent newspaperman and political commentator during the first half of theMencken biography.
20th century, is accurate. Writing for the Baltimore Evening Sun on 26 July1920, in an article entitled "Bayard vs. Lionheart" (and reprinted in the book On Politics: A Carnival of Buncombe), Mencken cynically opined on the difficulties of good men reaching national office when the scale of their campaigns precluded them from directly reaching out to large segments of the voting public:
The larger the mob, the harder the test. In small areas, before small electorates, a first-rate man occasionally fights his way through, carrying even the mob with him by force of his personality. But when the field is nationwide, and the fight must be waged chiefly at second and third hand, and the force of personality cannot so readily make itself felt, then all the odds are on the man who is, intrinsically, the most devious and mediocre — the man who can most easily adeptly disperse the notion that his mind is a virtual vacuum.
The Presidency tends, year by year, to go to such men. As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.

Nephrolithiasis (NL) is common, and symptomatic stone episodes cause significant pain, suffering, and economic cost. Much effort has been expended to define metabolic abnormalities that increase urinary supersaturation (SS), and thereby favor stone growth. However, currently available treatments that reduce urinary SS are not completely effective. Therefore, new understanding of additional pathogenic factors is needed to suggest new preventative strategies. Recent studies highlight the importance of NL precursor lesions, including Randall's plaques and plugs within distal tubular lumens. Qur preliminary data suggest that a subset of so-called "idiopathic" CaOx stones may also begin from tubular plugs. Clinical kidney stone research has lagged because stone passage is the final result of many earlier events, and this series of events likely differs between apparently similar patients. Contributors to urinary SS (e.g. calcium excretion) are clearly important, but other factors such as cellular responses to SS and crystals or protein crystallization inhibitors also contribute to stone formation. We hypothesize that clinical studies to investigate stone pathogenesis have likely been confounded by the (unknown) variety of underlying renal pathologies. Therefore, we plan to carefully phenotype renal stone precursor lesions by direct endoscopic visualization. These carefully pheontyped patients will be used to develop imaging algorithms to noninvasively characterize stone composition and precursor lesions, to define the gene expression of papillary tissue of patients with and without plaque, and determine the urine and stone microbiome of diverse patient types.
Specific Aims are:
Aim 1 Accurately map kidney stone location and precursor lesions after percutaneous nephrolithotomy in defined groups of patients with idiopathic CaQx stones (n=220), enteric hyperoxaluria (n=15), primary hyperoxaluria (n=5);uric acid stones (n=20);CaP stones (n=30), cystine stones (n=5), and controls without stones (n=30) Aim 2: Define dual energy CT algorithms to predict stone fragility Aim 3: Determine the gene expression profile of papillary tip biopsies with maximal and minimal plaque and plugs.
Aim 4 : Characterize the microbiome of urine and kidney stones of patients with diverse types of stones.
These aims build upon the preliminary data assembled by our multidisciplinary group over the last 4 years.
Our studies and others have highlighted the diverse array of renal pathologies that can be present in similar types of stone patients. New knowledge regarding the precise pathogenic pathways that can lead to stones is required in order to identify susceptible patients and to develop alternative strategies to prevent stones. These advances will eliminate the personal burden of stone disease including pain, infection, lost productivity, and costs associated with treatment.

....Hopkins is now back in Australia training in Meisner with Billy Milionis.."getting back to the basics"
....Hopkins is currently in Los Angeles taking classes at TVI Studios..
...Hopkins receives strong reviews as " Louise" in LA Premier of "The Last Train" by Natacha Astuto @ HollyWood Fringe Festival 2014
"The Last Train" (Le Dernier Train), a prison life closed door, is more about confinement in the emotional sense than in the literal one. It is a thriller, cynic and dark, with the style borrowed from cinema, it offers a new vantage point and feelings for its "spectators." The work is a tribute—a kind of, to all the victims who suffer having been attached or raped by people that cannot feel empathy, psychopaths. It tells them: you have nothing to forgive yourself, you did nothing wrong—never. Psychopaths are not necessarily ugly guys, stinking and looking bad. They are often handsome, pleasant and clever. This is where danger lies. It is a warning. For the author: writing this play gave her a way to talk about human beings—their obsessions, their secrets, their awareness of loss. To silently shout messages.
2011 was a busy year for Hopkins with New Breed Productions as a hard hitting gangster Tess in"A LANDSCAPE OF LIES" by Paul Knight

The Belgian designer beat out his high-profile counterparts on a shortlist that included Adam Kimmel, Commuun, Jeremy Laing, Matthew Harding, and Yiqing Yin, winning the prestigious French fashion prize Wednesday.
Vaccarello won the Grand Prix at the Hyères Fashion Festival in 2006 before working alongside Karl Lagerfeld at Fendi. He has been showing his own-label collections during Paris women's ready-to-wear since 2009.
The €200,000 endowment will benefit his next show in October as well as the opening of a French branch of his label. He will also receive mentorship from fashion experts, the opportunity to exhibit at France's Galeries Lafayette department store, and a €10,000 donation of Swarovski crystals to be used in the spring/summer 2012 collection.
Bestowed by fashion's editorial and buying elite including The Daily Telegraph's Hilary Alexander, French Vogue's new editor in chief Emmanuelle Alt, and Paris concept store Colette's creative director Sarah Lerfel, the award has helped to boost the careers of Giles Deacon and Hakaan in past years, for instance.Reuse content
