Delany: 'Not shocked' by FBI investigation of college hoops
By RALPH D. RUSSO
NEW YORK (AP) Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany says he wasn't shocked by the FBI investigation into college basketball because of the history of federal law enforcement intersecting with the sport.
At Big Ten media day on Thursday at Madison Square Garden, Delany said the conference has had no contact with the FBI about the investigation.
"We really don't have any facts other than what we've read," Delany said.
Last month, 10 men - including a top Adidas executive and four assistant basketball coaches at Power Five conference programs - were charged with using hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes to influence star athletes' choice of colleges, shoe sponsors, agents and even tailors. None of the programs involved so far are in the Big Ten.
Delany said he could count at least nine times during his lifetime, dating back to the gambling and point-shaving scandals of the 1950s, when federal investigators have moved on college basketball.
"So, we should all be concerned," he said. "We don't know what we don't know. Our coaches will coach, and they will do the best they can to get students to class and get them on the right path. But beyond that, the Big Ten does not have any information that you otherwise don't have. Speculation probably doesn't benefit anybody at this juncture."
NCAA President Mark Emmert announced last week the formation of a commission, led by former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, to examine ways to improve college basketball recruiting.
Delany said he directed Big Ten coaches to speak with Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith, who is a member of the committee, if they have any information to share or ideas to help improve existing issues.
"I think internally we'll have some discussions and pass on our recommendations to the commission. I think President Emmert put it well, half steps are not sufficient," Delany said.
"There are obviously a number of things that could be done structurally, but also one of the things that stands out to me is that in the first investigations, it was external people working with players to fix games. In the last three or four (scandals) there's been more engagement on the agent side, the adviser side, still some, perhaps, gambling. And in these most recent cases, there are people inside of our programs. That's a big difference between being inside and outside."
Delany was asked about the NCAA committee on infraction's decision on North Carolina after a long investigation into possible academic misconduct involving athletes. The NCAA concluded it did not have jurisdiction in the matter because the questionable classes offered by North Carolina were not offered only to athletes.
"They were not good practices for students. They were not good practices for the university or its athletes, they've taken a lot of collective action," Delany said. "I don't think it was a win or a loss. I think it was NCAA has some limitations in terms of the applications of its bylaws."

After founding Bluemercury, we were inspired to pursue a new entrepreneurial venture: M-61 Labs. At Bluemercury, we had done over one million spa treatments and served 20 million clients. We noticed there was a need that wasn't being met.
Clients were coming in for natural, paraben-free products but also wanted highly technical, efficacious results. They had seen the effects of dermatologist loved ingredients – vitamin C, glycolic acid, alpha hydroxy acids and peptides – but wanted these ingredients in the most concentrated, purist form possible.
We went into the chemistry lab, armed with a list of 100 ingredients we couldn't use. 175 formulas later, we launched a highly technical skincare brand which fuses dermatologist loved, potent ingredients and vitamin-packed, effective and researched naturals. The result is M-61.
There are over 100 ingredients that are not allowed in the M-61 line. All products contain anti-inflammatory ingredients to balance the aggressive treatments.

Newly minted U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley, a former South Carolina governor and once vocal critic of President Trump, had a message for the United Nations in her first remarks on Friday, "There is a new US/UN. You're going to see a change in the way we do business."
"It's no longer about harder, it's about working smarter", Haley told reporters as she entered the U.N.'s headquarters in Manhattan. Haley continued by stating that America is committed to backing up their allies, but going forward will expect those allies to reciprocate in kind.
"Our goal with the administration is to show value at the UN and the way that we'll show value is to show our strength, show our voice, have the backs of our allies and make sure that our allies have our back as well," she said.
"For those that don't have our back, we're taking names, we will make points to respond to that accordingly, but this is a time of strength." President Trump's envoy said.
Looks like there's a new sheriff in town, and his deputies are getting down to business at the U.N., as Nikki Haley laid down the law with the Trump administration's new "America first" agenda. Haley made clear that President Trump intends to continue with the functions of the U.N. that are working effectively, actually improving upon them, but will also be fixing any portions that are obsolete or no longer needed.
"Everything that's working, we're going to make it better," she said. "Everything that's not working we're going to try to fix, and anything that seems to be obsolete and not necessary we're going to do away with."
Despite Nikki Haley being an outspoken critic of Donald Trump during the primaries last year, particularly about his stance on immigration admitting that she was "not a fan" of his, Haley had accepted the offer to join the Trump administration as the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations in December of last year. Since then, Haley seems to be adapting to President Trump's new foreign policies quite nicely, as she espoused the same pro-American values towards the U.N. that Trump had spoken about previously.
As the NY Post stated, U.N. members have nothing but good things to say about Nikki Haley as a person, but some are worried that America will not be as involved in world affairs under Trump as it has been in the past (meaning they're worried the money train will stop, which it will).
France's envoy to the UN, François Delattre, said he had "only good things to say" about Haley, CNN reported.
But in response to reports that the administration may push for funding cuts for crucial UN programs, Delattre gave an analysis of the US role at the UN that demonstrated how dramatically the country has pivoted since Trump's election.
"As France's ambassador to Washington in the early 2000s, my key message to the White House was basically, 'Let us breathe. Don't micromanage the world,' " he told reporters, CNN reported.
"A few years later, our main message to the American administration is, 'Please stay committed to world affairs, because we need America,'" he said.
So if I'm understanding France's UN ambassador right, they want America's influence and funds, but not decisions made in the best interest of the American people.
Nikki Haley has been a rising star in the Republican party, even taking a role in the Tea Party movement, but had received some criticism for her lack of support for Trump during the election. Now, true to President Trump's deal making form, a former critic has been turned into a valuable ally and is fighting for his America first agenda. That is the strategy, foresight and deal making capability that many in the mainstream media will just never understand.
Nikki Haley's full statement can be viewed below:

Pitching aces David Price and Ubaldo Jimenez to start in MLB all-star game
Tuesday, July 13, 2010
ANAHEIM, CALIF. -- The parade of pitchers who will take the mound for the National League in Tuesday night's All-Star Game will begin with the first pitcher in a decade to reach the all-star break with 15 wins. Next could be a guy with a 1.70 ERA, followed by a guy with seven complete games and a perfect game in the first half, followed by the reigning Cy Young winner and league leader in strikeouts.
The National League has not won an all-star game since 1996, but never in the years since has it owned a pitching staff quite like this one. And if the Senior Circuit is to end its 13-season run of futility -- and earn home-field advantage in the World Series for its champion this fall -- it likely will be won on the backs of its pitchers, beginning with Colorado's Ubaldo Jiménez, and likely continuing, in some order, with Florida's Josh Johnson, Philadelphia's Roy Halladay and San Francisco's Tim Lincecum.
"Obviously, I'm not real excited about" facing them, said New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez, who is playing in his 13th all-star game. "They definitely have some tremendous pitching. It's the best pitching I've seen them have in all my years."
This has been the year of the pitcher in baseball, with the games and the headlines dominated by the men on the mound. Across both leagues, 18 pitchers with enough innings to qualify for the ERA title reached the break with a mark below 3.00--compared with 11 all of last season, and only one as recently as 2007. The aggregate NL ERA of 4.10 is the lowest since 1992, while the AL mark of 4.21 is the lowest since 1991.
The first half of the season witnessed four no-hitters, including two perfect games (and that's not counting the one by Detroit's Armando Galarraga that was wiped out by an infamous umpire's call). It saw 46-year-old Jamie Moyer become the oldest pitcher in history to throw a shutout, and it saw 21-year-old Stephen Strasburg become the first pitcher in history to strike out at least 14 batters without a single walk in his major league debut.
Above all, it has been the year of young aces, from Jiménez to Johnson to Lincecum in the National League, to Tampa Bay's David Price,, Boston's Jon Lester and New York's Phil Hughes in the American League. All are represented on the league's respective rosters Tuesday night, with Price earning the starting nod in the American League.
"I think it's incredible," said Yankees Manager Joe Girardi, who will manage the American League squad. "You see so many young kids that are pitching at such a high level. . . . I think it's the time of the pitcher right now. It seemed like 15 years ago, it was a time of young shortstops, and other times, it seems there's an influx of great, young talent in outfielders. But right now, the influx of young pitching in baseball is incredible."
The outcome of the all-star game tends to reflect its era. In 1998, the year Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa staged their storied, steroids-fueled home run race, the midsummer classic (at Denver's Coors Field) was a 13-8 slugfest -- won of course, by the American League. From 1998 to 2005 (the year before baseball began penalizing first-time steroids users), the all-star game saw an average of 11.5 runs per game. Since then, the teams have averaged just seven runs per game.
"I think it's just one of those crazy things in baseball that happens," said Florida's Johnson, who this season posted eight consecutive starts in which he allowed one earned run or less. "You can't explain it. But it's good to hear about the pitching for a change. It's been more about home runs for the last 10 years."
Why has the game's balance of power shifted to pitching? The most obvious answer is the increasingly stringent drug-testing policy. However, as many observers quickly point out, pitchers used the same drugs as hitters did during the so-called Steroids Era. Another explanation is that young pitchers today get better training as amateurs and as minor leaguers, and thus arrive in the majors as nearly finished products.
"The command and how to pitch -- these guys, they are definitely taught more and they can handle situations better," said NL Manager Charlie Manuel of the Philadelphia Phillies. "And I think that you're going to see that in the near future, [they] just keep getting better."
Added New York's Hughes: "I think it's something we haven't seen a lot of in the past. A lot of guys in the past, when they were kids growing up they wanted to be hitters. Now I think it's cool to be pitchers."
The influx of young pitching has caused a wave of turnover on the all-star rosters. Of the 16 pitchers on the National League roster (including injured ones who won't participate), seven are first-time all-stars, including Washington Nationals closer Matt Capps. On the American League side, 10 of the 18 pitchers are first-timers.
"There are a lot of new faces here," said Detroit Tigers right-hander Justin Verlander. "It's a cyclical game, and this is a wave of young pitching. And it's nice to see the guys coming up and being represented."
This would be the perfect year, in other words, for a 1-0 all-star game -- something the game hasn't seen since 1968. That was the year Bob Gibson posted his 1.12 ERA and Denny McLain won 31 games, and the writers dubbed the whole thing the Year of the Pitcher.
This year, the year of the pitcher is still lowercase. But there is still a long ways to go.

BOBBIES are out in force in response to a spate of drunken attacks carried out by teenage gangs.
The increased manpower of plain-clothed and uniformed officers will act to foil crime 'hot spots' in Runcorn - accompanied by undercover squad cars.
Labelled 'Operation Binocular' by Halton's Community Action Team (CAT), the crackdown on anti-social behaviour comes hot on the heels of a police investigation that targeted offlicences.
Disturbingly, one in 10 offlicences were found to be breaking the law when 14-16 year old child volunteers successfully bought alcohol in Halton.
The crackdown on irresponsible retailers was part of a joint operation on behalf of the police and consumer protection officers.
Now, 'police reassurance patrols' will be used around youth-nuisance areas such as Clifton Road, and in areas where there is inadequate CCTV coverage.
Sergeant Andrew Delooze of CAT, said: 'There is a clear link between youth disorder and alcohol which in turn leads to quality-of-life issues for the child, and local residents.
'The sale of alcohol to children can lead to many problems including youth nuisance, and so we are pleased to be able to identify those sellers prepared to sell to children.'
He added: 'On the back of these findings, we have launched 'Operation Binocular' which increases our police presence.
Gangs of drunken youths have been accused of intimidating local residents, vandalising property and committing general acts of anti-social behaviour across the borough.
Common nuisance-complaint calls recorded by the police include drunken attacks against car windows and residents' property, and youths gathering outside secondary schools late at night.
Elderly residents have also reported missiles, including stones and bricks, being slung across either side of a railway station, smashing their windows.
In light of the complaints, police intend to patrol the following areas:
* The Arriva bus depot.
* The Church of the Latter Day Saints in Clifton Road.
* Cavendish School.
* Runcorn Golf Club.
* The Heath Comprehensive.
* Clifton Road, Malpas Road and Ashbourne Avenue.
Police officers have already netted two youngsters responsible for causing damage to Runcorn Golf Club.
Said Sgt Delooze: 'The main focus of the police patrols will be Malpas Road and The Heath, or wherever there is an insufficient number of CCTV cameras.
'Problems that exist in these areas can be anything from youngsters acting loud and abusive, to carrying out acts of vandalism.
'We intend to monitor each individual's behaviour in the area, and residents can be assured that this could inevitably lead to Anti-Social Behaviour Orders in the near future.'

beside my post about OpenSSL updates, there has been no or little time to update this blog in the past month. There are some interesting OpenSource projects I had been involved.
Regarding my voluntary work with the Indy Project I am glad to announce that I was invited to join the Indy Mercury Team: Since Nov 2009 I am now part of Indy's so called steering committee too (next to the Core Team where the development takes place).
In Addition my company became a Intel Software Partner and an Embarcadero Technology Partner.
Last but not least I had been working on other OpenSource projects too:
- THtmlViewer which is the successor of the well-known HTMLViewer components for Delphi (previously sold by PBear.com)
- GNU Gettext for Delphi (dxgettext)
- The Delphi Encryption Compendium (5.2) available at Torry.net
Now, in the next weeks I am going to blog especially about:
- Some backports of UI behaviour for older Delphi Versions (like native Cursors and Hints/Tooltips)
- Some tricky bugs I chased in Indy (topics will cover Winsock EADDRINUSE, IPv6 and Nagle)
- A patch I committed for dxgettext: changing embedded translations behaviour from absolute file offsets to relative positions which allows using i.e. EXE compressors like UPX while still being able to attach embedded translations
- A fork of David Polberger's (and JEDI's) JvLinkLabel I am currently creating
- Probably the upcoming Delphi Tage 2010 in Berlin, Germany (national Delphi Days)
So stay tuned, more to come!

Academic journal article The Hastings Center Report
Valencia, 1990
Article excerpt
Valencia, 1990
An elaborate workshop intended "to stimulate international cooperation in the ethical aspects of the Human Genome Project" was held last November in Valencia, Spain. The generous hosts (Fundacion Banco Bilbao Vizcaya and Fundacion Valenciana de Estudio Avanzados) provided a panel of prominent speakers, an agreeable setting, superb comestibles, and no less than Her Majesty Queen Sofia to preside over the final session and receive the results of the workshop.
In three days the speakers covered an exhaustive list of topics, including national scientific and social policies on the HGP, religious considerations, the concept of self, the impact of the HGP on medicine and biology, the uses of genetic information, privacy and confidentiality, commercialization, and eugenics. Many of the formal presentations crossed these topical boundaries, and eugenics was implicated in nearly all the topics.
On a parallel, less visible track, several workshop participants labored over a "Valencia Declaration" that, in the words of keynoter Jack McConnell, "could serve as a guideline for all working in the field." This task proved rather daunting, and some participants questioned why it was attempted. The effort was probably occasioned by the genome scientist' impatience to demonstrate some progress toward resolving the issues discussed in the formal presentations.
Among the presenters, Eric Jeungst suggested genetic stigmatization and fatalism may be avoided by emphasizing individuals' own responsibility and the possibility of environmental changes to protect against genetic susceptibilities. Albert Jonsen predicted genetic information will reshape the traditional doctor-patient relationship, focusing more attention on family than individual, and creating a class of presymptomatically diagnosed "unpatients" for whom no therapy is currently available. …

PRESIDENT CLINTON tried to convince us. ''The old labels of liberal and conservative,'' he said more than a year ago, ''are not what matter most anymore.'' But as campaign season winds down, the old labels are tossed around freely as ever. So what do they mean to the audience?
A telephone poll conducted by The New York Times and CBS News Oct. 10 to 13 asked 1,126 voters just that.
When asked what they thought of when they heard someone described as a ''liberal,'' the respondents, who could say anything instead of being limited to a multiple-choice list, most frequently volunteered ''open-minded'' and ''free spending.'' When asked about ''conservative,'' they most often volunteered ''fiscally responsible or tight'' and ''closed-minded.''
The terms were once strongly linked to specific issues, like anti-Communism or the peace movement. Today, the labels may be used to talk about issues like abortion rights, but ''abortion'' isn't the first thing that comes to mind when political labels are uttered. Only 2 percent of respondents identified ''liberal'' or ''conservative'' with either side of the abortion debate.
Instead, voters link the political left and right to core meanings that seem to owe as much to the dictionary as to the shifting tide of political movements. So ''liberals'' are generous (a liberal portion). And ''conservatives'' are moderate or cautious (a conservative estimate).Continue reading the main story
But old definitions may be lagging behind new realities; 8 percent of voters associated ''conservative'' with ''careful'' and 7 percent with ''against change.'' These attributes do not fit House Speaker Newt Gingrich's Republican revolution.
Sheila Riddle, a 41-year-old technical services operator from Dallas, echoed the dictionary definitions. The moderate Democrat, who supports Mr. Clinton, said, ''Liberals are open to new ideas, even if they might be far-fetched. But conservatives like Dole have their minds made up. They tend to be stuffy, not open to compromise or change.''
Pocketbook issues also affected thinking. ''Liberals want to take more and more tax money away from working people,'' said Joe Nava, a 65-year-old retired professor and a conservative Republican from Fairbanks, Alaska. ''Conservatives support more individual responsibility in terms of how the money is spent.'' Leo Estrada, an insurance salesman from Fresno, Calif., put it another way: ''Conservatives are tightwads.'' The 48-year-old liberal Democrat is supporting Mr. Clinton, but he thinks both Mr. Clinton and Mr. Dole are conservative.
There is a little confusion in applying the labels to this year's Presidential race. Bob Dole is the easy call; a majority of voters, regardless of their own political philosophy, describe him as conservative. Bill Clinton is trickier; respondents were evenly split over whether Mr. Clinton is a liberal or a moderate. Predictably, conservative voters were more likely to say Mr. Clinton is liberal.
But about 10 percent of voters characterize Mr. Clinton as conservative, and roughly 10 percent characterize Mr. Dole as liberal. And although the nationwide poll has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3 percentage points, these 1 in 10 proportions have held fairly steady in every Times/CBS News Poll conducted this year.
Who are these voters? ''Bill Clinton would be a liberal Republican, but he is a very conservative Democrat,'' said Dan Johnson, a writer and real estate broker from Eufaula, Okla. Mr. Johnson, a 48-year-old liberal who supports the libertarian candidate, characterizes Mr. Clinton as a conservative because of his foreign policy -- ''identical to George Bush's'' -- and because of some of his appointees.
And Paul Delise calls Mr. Dole a liberal. The 42-year-old bricklayer from Brunswick, Ohio, doesn't like many of Bob Dole's ideas on education and Medicare, and considers the ''liberal'' label pejorative. Mr. Delise, an independent moderate, plans to support Bill Clinton, whom he describes as a moderate.
'Liberals' Give Money Away
Over all, the descriptions of ''liberal'' and ''conservative'' were evenly distributed between positive and negative attributes. Voters find fault with both sides, perhaps one reason that 50 percent identify themselves as moderates.
Neil Reed is a 40-year-old insurance adjuster from Dover, Del., who identifies himself as a moderate and as a Republican. ''I'm more middle of the road. I would like to see less Government intervention.'' He says liberals support social programs that ''give money to those who don't have to work.'' But Mr. Reed, a Dole supporter, is not happy that conservatives are aggressively imposing their beliefs about abortion and some other issues.
Moderates may also be looking to stay between two other labels: old and young. Winston Churchill once said, ''If you're not a liberal at 20, you have no heart, and if you're not a conservative at 40 you have no head.'' This was echoed by a 42-year-old Pennsylvania man: ''A conservative is someone old,'' said this self-described moderate. ''But liberals are bleeding hearts.''Continue reading the main story

CLAYTON, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) — Two teenaged brothers were arrested Tuesday and charged in the death of a 12-year-old girl. Investigators said the little girl was killed for her bicycle.
The body of Autumn Pasquale was found in a blue recycling bin in front of a house at around 10 p.m. Monday night, just blocks away from her own home in Clayton.
Her BMX bike and backpack were also found inside, CBS 2's Christine Sloan reported.
Gloucester County Prosecutor Sean Dalton said the boys, ages 15 and 17, who live in the home were charged with first-degree murder. Their names were being withheld because they're juveniles. Dalton also said their own mother turned them in after noticing something on their Facebook page.
Dalton said the cause of Pasquale's death was blunt force trauma consistent with strangulation.
"Autumn Pasquale was lured to the juveniles' home, it was for the purpose of obtaining parts for her BMX bike," said Dalton.
Dalton said he will consider whether to try the teens as adults in the case, WCBS 880's Peter Haskell reported.

Joyce Fisher lives on the street where Pasquale's body was discovered Monday night, two days after she was reported missing. Fisher, like hundreds of others, took part in the search for the 12-year-old, who was last seen Saturday afternoon heading to a friend's house on her bike.
"Just when they brought the bike out …That was devastating. I am scared. It's devastating, unnerving. This is a nice quiet town," Fisher said.
A 16-year-old told CBS 2's Sloan he knows the three brothers who live in the house that was turned into a crime scene on Tuesday. He said the younger brother is obsessed with bikes.
"[He] takes bikes and takes them apart stuff like that," Jodi Robinson said.
"They never stole my bike or anything out of my yard, but I heard they steal bikes," Corey Hewes added.
As police cleared the crime scene, Pasquale's cousin left behind a teddy bear – a reminder of this community's grief.
"Gut wrenching. [To] see anybody do this to a child, it's terrible," Heather Magonagle said.
EXTRA: More From CBS Philly
Prosecutor Dalton addressed the media earlier Tuesday.
"On this sunny morning, we mourn the loss of a beautiful girl named Autumn," Dalton said. "The search for Autumn is over, but the investigation to find out what happened to Autumn has begun."
Dalton said Pasquale's family was notified of the discovery Monday night. He said autopsy results are pending.
"Our hearts go out to the family and to all the residents of Clayton who stood together in support of this young girl," Dalton said.
The girl's uncle, Paul Spadofora, gathered with other relatives at the news conference to thank the community for its help in the search. The victim's parents did not attend.
"There's evil everywhere, even in the small town of Clayton," Spadofora said.
Crime scene investigators arrived shortly before 9 a.m. at the house where the body was found. Authorities have not said where on the property the recycling bin was discovered.
Police also found a BMX bicycle matching one Pasquale was riding the day she disappeared. The bike was taken Tuesday from the property where her body was found.
Police barricaded the block and friends and neighbors came by to see. Some mothers said they were keeping their kids out of school for the day. Even before the body was found, students reported that Spirit Week had been canceled because of the sorrow.
Clayton Mayor Thomas Bianco walked to the scene, cried, hugged a police officer and gave a brief statement to the gathered reporters.
"You hear about it in other places but never think it would happen in our little town," he said.
Authorities said Autumn, whose 13th birthday is Oct. 29, was last seen around 12:30 p.m. Saturday pedaling her white bicycle away from the Clayton home where she lives with her father, her two siblings, her father's girlfriend and the girlfriend's children.
Relatives said they believed Autumn was heading to see a friend, and they became worried only after she did not return by her 8 p.m. curfew. It wasn't until about 9:30 p.m. that she was reported missing.
Dalton said 50 county and local law enforcement officers were on the case shortly after she was reported missing. More than 20 law enforcement agencies took part in the search.
A $10,000 reward was also offered for any information in the case.
Dalton said 75 interviews of family and friends were conducted. Investigators also interviewed registered sex offenders in the area and searched near their homes.
A Facebook page called "Find Autumn Pasquale" was set up Sunday. By Tuesday morning, a second Facebook page called "R.I.P Autumn Pasquale" had been created. Both pages were full with messages of condolences for the girl's family.
Anyone with any information should call Clayton police at (856) 881-2300 or 2301 or the NJSP Missing Persons Unit at (800) 709-7090.

European Firms Line Up for Nasdaq
MUNICH—Some 20 European companies are looking to float on Nasdaq, the exchange's executive vice president said.
"There are a few from the U.K., a few from Russia, a few from Germany, Spain, and Israel, which has always been very strong for us," said Bruce Aust, speaking at the DLD conference here. "There are about 120 companies from China listed with us. Second is Israel with about 80.
"Twenty companies in Europe looking to access U.S. markets is something I have not seen in several years." He didn't say over what timescale these companies were looking to list.
Mr. Aust said that for European companies, floating in the U.S. was an obvious move. "List in the place you can get the best valuation and the best analysts, and investors around the world can still buy your stock," he said.

Monday, April 16, 2012
I'm a big fan of Jari Love's workouts especially her Get Extremely Ripped 1000 . I like the combo of the cardio and strength training. I'm a cardio girl. I could do cardio all day long, but I realize the importance of strength training for women especially the older I get. What I like most about Jari's workouts is that she uses science to determine what exercises to do and in what order. It called Get Ripped 1000 because supposedly you can burn at least 1000 calories doing the workout. I used My Fitness Pal to determine calories burned. For the 68 minutes I worked out I burned 674.
That being said I really liked this workout. It's like the other Get Ripped 1000 workouts in that you do strength training for about 3 minutes and then you do cardio for about 5 minutes. Each cardio and strength track is broken down into sets. The cardio is usually 4-6 sets and the strength is 3-4 sets. I used 8 pound dumbbells with this workout. I had been using mostly 10 pound dumbbells this week, but since this was a new workout I wanted to be safe and use the eights. I surprised myself because I was able to use the eight pound dumbbells during the tricep kickbacks. A couple of months ago I was using only three pounds.
I was able to keep up most of the time with the eight pound dumbbells, but on the Leg and Shoulders track I could have gone down to five for the lateral raises. The music in the workout DVDs is something I usually don't pay any attention to, but Jari always has uplifting music to keep you motivated. In the Straddle Run track I believe I heard 'Can You Feel It' by The Jacksons. During the Burpee track Country music was playing. That Burpee track was murder. I actually had to stop the DVD and rest. Burpees are not my friend. I was already sweating a lot and after that Burpee track I was drenched.
There was a lot of sweat going on. Even during the Abs tracks (there are two of them because I did the entire workout) sweat was getting into my eyes. The last Abs track was lead by Laurie who has been with Jari since the beginning. She did a great job leading us through that track.
The DVD includes:
Complete workout (what I did) 73:51
Workout 1 30:00
Workout 2 30:00
Cardio Workout 48:06
Weights Workout 42:51
I'm curious to see how if at all the Cardio and Weights Workout are different from the Complete Workout when done separately. Jari does use a step bench in this workout like in previous DVDs, but she does offer a modifier and all the exercises can be done without the step.
I will be doing this workout again and again. Jari was so nice to send me an extra copy to giveaway. One lucky person will win a copy of Get Extremely Ripped 1000 Hardcore. I will make this giveaway very simple. You can enter using the widget below. The giveaway ends April 30, 2012 at 12:01am EST. The winner will be chosen by Rafflecopter. The winner must claim their prize within 48 hours. Please allow 2-4 weeks to receive your prize. It's open to persons living in the US and Canada. Good luck!

By Dmitriy Shapiro
As I watch C-SPAN's coverage of the Ames Straw Poll, a spectacle that reminds me of 19th century vote buying, I cannot help but entertain myself by attempting to predict – to the best of my ability – the complete lineup of the candidates in the results of today's poll. I first sent the list through my Twitter account at 2:18PM, and it has been unchanged since. I have only added write-ups of my opinion of each candidate. It only reflects my gut feeling about the results based solely on my stereotype of Iowa voters. It is not scientific by any means. First, I will present my prediction and why; then I will compare it to results that I've found made by others… Scratch that, so far I cannot find any comprehensive lineup (other than top three) anywhere on the web. But since I have nothing to lose, here is my attempt, let's see how close I can get:
- Michele Bachmann– Bachmann already had more than a few things going for her. Although she can often come off as too simple and no doubt kowtows to the Tea Party activist belying her intelligence. Her energy and attractiveness are great assets to her campaign, but more importantly in Iowa, her religious dialogue is sure to impress. Bachmann's impressive performance in the recent Fox News debate showed her to be cool under fire, after Tim Pawlenty's attacks, and most likely made her a sympathetic figure especially among women voters.
- Ron Paul– Truly polarizing, Ron Paul's extreme libertarian views are often at odds with other traditional GOP candidates and voters, but his ability to motivate masses of disillusioned and unemployed young people, ensure that he will have a rabid support base that is motivated to win any poll in existence. The presentation of his message, the Ron Paul Revolution – and his followers' ability to quote every word he has ever said or written – makes him more similar to the communist leaders like Lenin and Mao, than an American politician. There is no doubt that Ron Paul-ites will be streaming from all corners of Iowa to show their allegiance to Grandfather Paul.
- Rick Santorum-Until the FNC debate, little has been heard or said about Rick Santorum. By all appearances, he is the very model of a Republican. Although, he had been overshadowed by the other candidates, he effectively pointed out the media's disinterest in him at the debate; forcing the moderators to give him his fair share of the time; while evoking sympathy from viewers. He became the underdog. After grabbing everyone's attention, he made his opinions clear, and challenged Ron Paul to rapturous applause from traditional Republicans and boos from Paul supporters – creating many of the most interesting moments in the debate. Finally, Santorum's dependable and uncompromising stances on all traditional Republican issues, has made him a safe choice for the increasingly ignored "social conservatives" and the "Anti-Gay" vote. I think Santorum will be the surprise of the day.
- Mitt Romney– Mitt Romney has largely kept himself above the fray. If Bob Beckel of Fox New's "The Five" was able to call the Republican contenders "munchkins," Mitt is the exception, and Romney probably agrees with Beckel. Anything that happens in Iowa will never affect his campaign.
- Tim Pawlenty- Pawlenty, as the media agrees, has the most to lose in Iowa. Having entered the running for President off of the rush of support he received from the last two American Conservative Union's CPAC events, he had not anticipated new entrants who possessed more charisma and media skills than he has ever been able to muster. He appeared weak and awkward in CNN's debate, backing down when confronted with his own words against Mitt Romney. In the FNC debate, his performance remained awkward and scripted. Worse, his over the top attempts to attack Michele Bachmann made him look as if he is beating up on a poor defenseless lady. Conservative voters, never big on feminism, will feel that Pawlenty is a bully and will need to be punished for this ungentlemanly act. Anybody supporting Pawlenty's campaign should realize that the window of opportunity has already closed, and the question will be: How many nails after Iowa will Pawlenty need in his coffin?
- Rick Perry (write-in)- To truly describe what Rick Perry means for the Republican Party and the 2012 Election, would require me to write an article solely on him. His entry into the race gives traditional GOP voters a guaranteed candidate who will be one of the final two in competition for the Republican Party nomination against a more moderate candidate such as Mitt Romney. Basically, anyone who is not Romney, Huntsman or Paul; fear him.
- Herman Cain– Tea Party star Herman Cain, is undoubtedly a very able man. His business abilities exemplify this – but unlike he and many of his supporters would like to believe, being a Washington outsider does not necessarily make one a good Washington insider (President). Being a businessman does not make one a good lawmaker – a major part of a President's job – or that not being any of these makes you have any foreign policy intellect. Cain made a point in his straw poll speech that President Obama had little foreign policy experience when he took office either, but at least he had been a Senator. Furthermore, having been in the running for a good amount of time, Cain should have taken the time to be properly instructed on issues by experts. Lack of knowledge, seen clearly in the debates, raise questions about his natural curiosity.
- Newt Gingrich– For all intents and purposes, Newt Gingrich has been a candidate for years. But ever since his announcement, his campaign has done nothing other than spiral downward out of control. Nevertheless, the obviously scripted and what I believe tongue in cheek posturing actually gave Newt a surprisingly good showing in the debate. He seemed relaxed, experienced and professional, in contrast with the squirming neophytes – and though I feel he was disingenuous, he showed he could stand his own ground.
- Sarah Palin (write-in)- I doubt she will jump into the race now, since Rick Perry has made Bachmann not threatening to any candidate. Palin, as a write in, will nevertheless inspire some who will write her name in the blank.
- Jon Huntsman-Coming Soon
- Thaddeus McCotter-Coming Soon
Actual Results (Update 7:30PM):
|Michele Bachmann
|Ron Paul
|Tim Pawlenty
|Rick Santorum
|Herman Cain
|Rick Perry (write-in)
|Mitt Romney
|Newt Gingrich
|Jon Huntsman
|Thaddeus McCotter

Axelrod on Romney: "I'm Not Suggesting… He's Done Anything Illegal" …(But We're Not Going to Apologize For Calling Mitt a Felon)
Top Obama adviser David Axelrod had this to say about Mitt Romney on CNN's State of the Union today:
"I'm not suggesting that based on what we know, that he's done anything illegal… I am suggesting is that he's taken advantage of every single conceivable tax shelter and loophole that we can see."
Despite this, the Obama Campaign told reporters they will not apologize for calling Mitt Romney a felon.

Shook, Scared, Panicking? Nicki Minaj Shadily Skipping The BET Awards This Year
Nicki Minaj Afraid To Get Barbie-Q'd By The Competition At The BET Awards?
Nicki Minaj has become a fixture at BET's awards show over the last few year. Since her more humble beginnings as a Young Money caricature, she's been sweeping the Best Female Rap Artist category and blessing the red carpet. This year, however, Nicki plans to skip the event. Seems like she had prior obligations, but do they really stop her from attending? The "No Frauds" rapper confirms she's performing at the NBA awards, a day after the BET awards takes place.
But, is Nicki shading BET with the way she worded her announcement? She says:
My darlings, this is the ONLY award show I'll be attending this month. Set your DVR's. You won't want to miss this PERFORMANCE.
Hmmm, fans seems to think it's shade. This year Nicki is nominated in the same category as her rival Remy Ma and Cardi B, who she is rumored to have sneak-dissed. Maybe she's mad at BET because of that?
Last month, she was reportedly slated to perform at the show:
Disappointed fans on instagram are leaving their thoughts about her "shady" decision:
@varo_ny says "This fraud! now your not showing up because BET wont meet your stupid demands..let me guess they wont give you the award for best female rapper and you wont show up because you got competition this year.. wack! be humble sit down …smh.. all these barbz with egg on their face.. hahaha y'all fight for her but she won't even get in the pit for yall . Sh-t is lame. Keep reppin this crownless low self-esteem queen."
@onyxthakidLove says "you to pieces @nickiminaj, but you know what this looks like right? I know you do. You not showing up to the BET awards this year is such a let down to me and a coward move. Just saying. This is wack if you done let Remy shake you. And btw, this is coming from one of your super fans.😞 We are out here riding hard for you thru this dumb shit and all you give us back is not showing up because you're scared? Not cool."

The U.S. IPO market could be heading toward a record year, with the number of public offerings in the first nine months of 2014 nearly equal to those in all of 2013.
If the pace of IPOs remains on track, 2014 could surpass the booming IPO markets of 2007 and the 2000 dot-com bubble. There have been 207 IPOs in the first half of 2014 counted under the methodology used by PricewaterhouseCoopers, said Mike Gould, a Chicago-based capital markets partner at PwC and leader of the firm's public offerings team. By comparison, 256 priced in all of 2000 and 279 in 2007, according to a similar methodology used by IPOScoop.com.

"So tell me more about this place."
"What, Shadow World?"
"It's the place I go. It… well, what do you want to know?"
I shrugged. "I never really gave a crap about it before-"
"-but now that I've got Darkies showing up in my neighbourhood, I don't want to be left in the dark."
"Pun intended?"
That made me wince.
"No. Not pun intended."
"Well, first of all, those things you shot at are called 'Dark Striders', because they stride between the two worlds, ours and the Shadow World."
"Did you come up with that name?"
"No." Shadowboy shook his head, clearly annoyed that I asked. Whatever. "They call themselves that."
"They can talk?"
"Not in this world. And they don't say much in the Shadow World either. But they will if you listen."
"All I heard was 'Eeeeeee'."
"That's what they sound like over there, too. Except it makes words."

Of course, Jill Barklem's artwork is so amazing! A beautiful way to display more of her lovely Brambly Hedge illustrations is on a duvet! Brambly Hedge has been a very important part of our family for many years. We are grateful for Jill every day. (The only reason I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 has nothing to do with the artwork-- I really don't like the fabric that Fine Art America used for the duvet. It feels terrible. I would've liked a nice cotton or flannel.)

One word used often by Douglas County School Board candidates at the second community forum was "trust."
"Before we would consider any kind of tax increase, the first goal is to restore trust with the community," Elevate Douglas County candidate Grant Nelson said when asked about the financial needs of the Douglas County School District.
"If we want to build trust - and I keep hearing this word in this campaign - then let's answer this question honestly," Chris Schor - one of four candidates running against the Elevate slate - said when asked about vouchers. "I believe in public funds supporting public schools, therefore I would not support taxpayer-funded vouchers."
The eight candidates sat at a table, each beside his or her district opponent, before a room full of adults for a forum hosted by the League of Women Voters of Arapahoe and Douglas Counties on Oct. 3 at the Lone Tree Hub, 8827 Lone Tree Parkway.
Candidates are vying for four seats on the board, currently occupied by Meghann Silverthorn, James Geddes, Judith Reynolds and Steven Peck. None of those four incumbents is seeking re-election, with Silverthorn being the lone board member who can't because of term limits.
This election could mark a major shift in the direction of the school board, which since 2009, has seen the majority of its members support a number of controversial reforms, including a pay-for-performance model of compensating teachers and a voucher plan that has been tied up in litigation for six years. In 2015, after six years of holding a 7-0 advantage on the board, the reform-minded majority lost three seats to challengers David Ray, Wendy Vogel and Anne-Marie Lemieux. The board has been divided since, with votes frequently falling 4-3 in favor of the reform-minded members.
On Nov. 7, a single seat won by an anti-reform candidate would transform the board minority into the majority.
Gerry Cummins, chair of voter service of the League of Women Voters of Colorado, moderated the forum. Members of the audience submitted questions.
The Lone Tree forum came on the heels of a Sept. 26 student-led forum at Highlands Ranch High School.
The following are some of the issues discussed.
Suicide prevention
When asked about the need for suicide prevention in schools, Elevate Douglas County, made up of Nelson, Debora Scheffel, Randy Mills and Ryan Abresch, and their opponents, Schor, Anthony Graziano, Krista Holtzmann and Kevin Leung, acknowledged that the topic was of great importance.
Schor referred to a recent student survey, in which students identified the need for additional support in schools through therapists and counselors.
"What kinds of support can we put in schools where kids feel like they have somebody to talk to," Schor asked. "I would advocate that we listen to our students and put more support in our schools."
The district needs to support the mental health professionals and programs in place, Scheffel said, so they can support their students.
"We too as adults need to model the type of respect for each other that kids need to have between themselves," Scheffel said.
Candidates disagreed on some sides of the issue. Nelson, whose two daughters have the same counselor at Rock Canyon High School, called the district's counseling "great." Whereas Holtzmann sees a need for more counseling services in secondary schools that have been impacted by budget decreases.
Special needs
Candidates were asked what they would do to ensure special-needs students are not left out of charter school opportunities and if they believe special-needs students are served well.
Some candidates pointed to the case of Endrew F. versus Douglas County School District, in which an autistic student's parents say he wasn't he wasn't provided with the level of public education required by federal law and sought reimbursement for the child's tuition and related expenses at a private school. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of the family.
"The Endrew F. case is an example of where public dollars are going to a private school in his interest," Mills said.
Holtzmann met with more than 40 parents of students with special needs and teachers of special needs students over the past couple of months, she said. She called the topic a "big concern."
"The school doesn't say they can't come there, but they will tell them that they don't have resources to serve them," she said. "... I think that there are quality teachers and staff working in many of our public schools - charter, neighborhood, magnet - but I think we need to have more access for our special needs students."
A former special education teacher, Scheffel has met with hundreds of parents of special needs students throughout her career, she said. Resources need to be available to fulfill quality education for special needs students, she said.
"If in Douglas County traditional public schools or charter schools are cherry picking students," she said, "that's not legal and the current board needs to look into it deeply and analyze the situation."
Building trust
How do candidates plan to build trust in their community? That was one audience member's question.
Candidates' answers zeroed in on communication, action and accountability.
"Trust starts where your actions match your words," said Mills, adding that trust requires stability and involvement with the community at large.
Graziano highlighted the importance of working with the community and making decisions that "drive action" on issues including vouchers, a mill levy and teacher turnover.
"... versus continuing to deliberate and over evaluate things that have caused instability over the last eight years," he said.
Trust is making sure the public sees that the board is spending tax dollars wisely, Abresch said. He referred to his experience as an attorney, working with opposing counsels.
"You need to make sure you are listening to the other side, even when you don't want to listen to them," Abresch said, "and you need to make sure that you're both working collaboratively to come up with creative solutions to difficult problems."
For Leung, it is paramount that the board listens to the recommendations of staff and advisory committees - such as fiscal and long range planning, which study schools and capacity needs.
"If you don't trust them," Leung said, "how do you expect them to trust you as a school board member."

10 Best Reggae Songs Of The 80's
Here are the 10 best reggae songs of the '80s. Although the '70s are considered the reggae music heyday, the '80s had more than their share of great songs. Many of these groups, such as UB40 and Steel Pulse, acted like a sort of British reggae invasion. And let's not forget The Police, a not half bad reggae inspired group.
- "Chant A Psalm" — Steel Pulse — This is a very spiritual song. But it's sung and played with such joy, you don't have to be a Rasta to enjoy it.
- "King" — UB40 — With its dub groove, UB40 captured the state of black people in the world better than many Americans — the ones Martin Luther King rallied — could. It's a sad rumination on what — at the time — had become of a movement.
- "What Is LIfe" — Black Uhuru — So many Rasta singers come off as know-it-alls. This Black Uhuru song asks as many questions as it answers, however. It's also got a great groove.
- "Roots Radics, Rockers, Reggae" — Bunny Wailer — This track, from the album of the same name, proved that Bunny Wailer proudly carried on the tradition of The Wailers, a group he co-led along with Peter Tosh and Bob Marley.
- "Johnny B. Goode" — Peter Tosh — Folks have played fast and loose with Chuck Berry's music over the years, but few have transformed his style the way Peter Tosh did with this track. He slows it down to a chugging reggae song, complete with female backing vocals and horn blasts. If Berry had come from Kingston, chances are good he would have sounded a lot like this.
- "Night Nurse" — Gregory Isaacs — The Cool Ruler, Gregory Isaacs, made some of his best music in the 80's. This sexy song about, well, sex, proved just how erotic reggae can be.
- "Redemption Song" — Bob Marley & the Wailers — Sadly, we lost Bob Marley in the 80's. But not before he gave us his best acoustic ballad, "Redemption Song". This song could apply to any oppressed people group.
- "Look Who's Dancing" — Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers — Those that have seen Ziggy Marley live will tell you he's a dead ringer for his dad, Bob Marley. But you don't have to see him to know this fact. Listen to this song and hear how much he sounds like his old man. It's a great, fun song.
- "Spirits in the Material World" — The Police — By the '80s, The Police had expanded beyond just being a really good white reggae band. Nevertheless, "Spirits in the Material World" was a wonderfully expressive song, which spoke the universal language of protest.
- "Stand Down Margaret" — The English Beat — Ah, does anybody still remember Margaret Thatcher? Well, bands like The English Beat knew her and likely despised her. This song warned the iron lady to take a chill pill. Rock bands didn't like conservatives, don't ya know. It's a great reggae protest song.

British Film Review: I Am Breathing
Film Review By Freda Cooper
Neil Platt is 34. He's bright, articulate, with a good career as an architect and a happy family life with his wife and adorable year-old son. To the outside world, he has everything. But when we meet him, he has something else. Motor Neurone Disease.
I Am Breathing is the story of the last few months of his life. Neil writes a blog, where he considers the questions he has, as he wryly observes, plenty of time on his hands to consider. He puts together a long letter and a memory box for his son, Oscar, so that he will have some sense of his father and what he did during his life.
And that is the essence of the documentary. Familiarity with the computerised tones of Stephen Hawking probably means most of us believe that we have some understanding of MND. But Neil shows us the other, less public side. He's just an ordinary guy who's been dealt a cruel hand and, together with his wife and family, has to deal with it as best he can. In the space of twelve months, he is transformed from a healthy young father to being paralysed from the neck down and breathing through a ventilator.
It's filmed mainly in fly-on-the-wall style, which echoes the spontaneity of the family videos that form part of Neil's memories. But we are also drawn closer into his last months by a combination of pieces direct to camera and, perhaps most tellingly, scenes filmed from his eye level. The role of narrator is played by his blog, connecting the elements of the story as well as increasing our understanding of both the man and the disease. He is startlingly honest and humorous, determined to share his last months as much as he can through his blog and, while occasionally sad, there's never a hint of self-pity. Only towards the very end do we see a flash of anger.
The combination of Neil's refreshing honesty and the film's own simple, direct style prevents 'I Am Breathing' from even getting close to sentimentality. And, despite being an intimate portrait of decline and approaching death, it never feels intrusive or insensitive. Instead, it's tender, moving, heartbreaking and inspiring.
The final scene shows some of the objects Neil put in his memory box for Oscar. But there's one item it doesn't show and without which the box would be incomplete. The film itself.
The makers of I Am Breathing aim to hold 100 screenings of the film around the world on Motor Neurone Disease Global Awareness Day on Friday, 21 June. To find your local screening, go to www.iambreathingfilm.com.

Opportunity to continue and expanded on a great game franchise. Should appeal to the diehard Halo fans and also draw in new ones.
Opportunity to disapoint those diehard Halo fans, which Bungie has been doing lately. Hollywood always loves to add parts that were never there in the first place or even taking out crucial parts of the story.
Full Review
As a fanatical fan of everything Halo, I have high expectations and plenty of worries for the movie that, is said, will eventually be made. As you may know, a script was being tossed around in 2007 for a movie based on the Halo franchise. Neill Blomkamp was to direct the film (although he went on to direct "District 9"), produced by Peter Jackson and developed by Microsoft game studios. Although not officially confirmed, to my knowledge, pre-production was halted to due to an ever expanding budget (last projected at $100 billion). Blomkamp went on to say the movie will be made in the near future.
I would love to see movie based on the franchise, but the main thing I am worried about is if Hollywood is going to deviate from the storyline signifcantly. The entire Halo universe, not just Master Chief, should be represented in these movies to show how Humanity is struggling to survive agianst an advanced alien Covenant. Blomkamp has stated how he would like to start the series of movies with the fall of Reach. This would be a great starting point for the series, but I would love to see the first movie depict the first encounter with the Covenant at Harvest, and its subsequent destruction, or maybe just tie that into the first movie centered around Reach. However, I believe that if Hollywood is going to do this right and appeal to all fans, they should cover a lot of ground in whatever movie is centered around Reach. What I mean by this is that they should go back to show the beginning of the SPARTAN-II program and the selection and training the candidates went through, not just the battle and fall of Reach.
Following the plot line of the novels, I also think that if and after a movie about the Master Chief's excursion on the Halo construct, another movie should be produced centering on the events after Halo's destruction, detailed in the novel Halo: First Strike (one of my favorites of the novel series). These would help to cover the ground between the events of Halo: CE and Halo 2, which would appeal to both old and new fans of the franchise, but to also show that Master Chief is actually NOT the last SPARTAN-II alive after Reach. From their, they could simply move on to develop movies adapted after the games Halo 2 and Halo 3.
Since Microsoft is all about the money, I believe that if they added movies based on Halo: Fisrt Strike, and possibly Contact Harvest, they would be raking in more money since fans would love to see these two storys in pictures in movies rather than just in words of novels. If it was planned to have a least 4 movies centered around the games Reach, Halo: CE, Halo 2 and Halo 3, they could add these adpations to create a 5 or possibly 6 series movie, much like Star Wars (but much better!)
Another good thing that could come out of these movies other than tons of money and keeping Halo fans happy, would be to give Bungie a chance to redeem itself after it horribly deviated from its own storyline when creating Reach the game. These deviations can be read here, from a fellow InfoBarrel user who outlines them with great detail (thank you Kaden1). One idea I had on the matter of the Pillar of Autumn. Perhaps the movie can indulge in a little of both the game and the novel so that both storys are represented. My idea is that the Master Chief will still be on the orbital platform to destory the navigation coordinates to Earth (novel), and the PoA could still be on the ground waiting for Cortana (game). Once Cortana has been delivered, the PoA would take flight out of Reach's atmosphere, rendezvous with the MC in space and make the jump to Halo. Although the novels stated that the PoA was not meant for atmospheric travel (all UNSC are bulit in zero gee), Bungie already screwed that up in the game, so I think this idea, that is just a thought, might please other fans that are "outraged" at the two conflicting storylines.
All things considred, Bungie and the film's producers and driectors have a tremendous opportunity with this movie. But with that opportunity comes a chance for great success or tremendous failure. I would love to hear other thoughts about what could make this move, or movies, appeal to the diehard Halo fans while also appealing to a new audience that may have never played the game or read the novels.

BOSTON, Sept. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- The Cytokine Institute (TCI), a Los Angeles-based DNA and genomics research and consulting group, announced today the opening of a new office in the heart of Boston's legal and financial district. The organization measures and analyzes the effects of chemical and toxic exposures on human health and the environment. Through its Boston-based consulting arm, Green Reach Consulting, TCI now offers a range of business, financial, litigation, and industrial consulting services focused on toxic tort issues, as well as environmental, healthcare, chemical, and hazard management.
The Cytokine Institute, founded by medical toxicologist Bruce Gillis, M.D., M.P.H, pioneered the genomics-based technology, msds1(TM), in concert with the faculty and staff of the University of Illinois College of Medicine. The technology analyzes how 36,000 parameters of an individual's DNA are affected by specific chemicals -- including benzene, chromium, asbestos and formaldehyde.
It is the first DNA evidence of its kind to be used in civil court, enabling attorneys and judges to weed out baseless and frivolous lawsuits while providing scientific evidence in support of those who have in fact suffered injury. Companies facing class-action lawsuits are now benefiting from TCI's technology and protocols.
"For the first time, we can now apply an impartial methodology for providing scientifically-based evidence in liability and workers compensation cases," said Dr. Gillis. "By eliminating our justice system's dependence on circumstantial evidence and often-unreliable expert witnesses, the technology's potential benefits for healthcare, insurance and tort litigation are profound."
The technology is currently being used in numerous workers compensation cases pending in California. Insurers, chemical companies, law firms and the American Bar Association are carefully watching its development for further use in courtrooms around the country.
Gary M. Rodrigues has joined The Cytokine Institute and Green Reach Consulting as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. Having previously served as Senior Vice President and Managing Director of the Willis Group's Environmental Practice in North America, Mr. Rodrigues brings over 25 years of expertise in insurance and risk management regarding environmental, health, safety, and toxic tort issues. Prior to Willis, Mr. Rodrigues served as Partner in Arthur Andersen's US-based Environmental, Health, and Safety- liability-focused practice.
Also from Willis, Michael Roche joins Green Reach Consulting as Senior Vice President and Managing Director. An attorney by trade, Mr. Roche is a toxic tort, products liability and regulatory compliance specialist. Prior to joining Green Reach, he practiced tort and insurance coverage law at Burns & Levinson and Donovan Hatem in Boston.
With an M.D. degree from the University of Illinois College of Medicine, a M.P.H. degree from the Harvard University School of Public Health, and medical residencies in Occupational Medicine and Medical Toxicology and in Internal Medicine, Dr. Bruce Gillis brings over 30 years of medical expertise as founder and CEO of The Cytokine Institute.
The Cytokine Institute provides a variety of consulting services in the area of litigation support, risk management, human resources, medical toxicology and healthcare. The organization developed DNA-based technologies, which provide vital information that is germane to Material Safety Data Sheets, the recently enacted REACH protocol and numerous other international, and United States rules and regulations concerning potentially harmful substances.

text: I made a thread earlier about this recorder that I have on my iPhone that I don't want to lose the recordings with, which was asking if, by transferring it over, would the recordings come with? Nobody had an answers, but now I'm back with a whole new question: Does "Tranferring purchases" from my iPhone remove the Apps from my iPhone? Extract them? Or does it just duplicate the information to my computer and authorize it or something like that? Not sure how it works.. I just don't want to click on it and have all my Apps take off of my iPhone, mostly because I'm scared that if the recorder is removed, it won't bring the recordings along with them. (By the way, my main reason for this is because I want to transfer everything to my new iPhone 5, but apparently my 4S isn't sync'd with my computer.) Thanks!

Here are our latest pictures...
Dylan (in the middle in this photo) was photographer in chief this week. He took most of these photographs and told everyone what to do.
We chose High School Musical for our theme again for these photo's - this time we were thinking about the end scene when everyone dances and celebrates together. However, Max told us that, although he likes the dialogue in High School Musicals he is not really keen on musicals as a genre - he was in charge of videoing during this session.
We didn't have a session this Saturday because of the storm - hope you are all OK and have your power back on!

Heidi VanDerveer is in her sixth campaign as the head coach of the UCSD women's basketball team with a 104-44 overall record. Last year, VanDerveer was named the CCAA Coach of the Year for the second-straight season. She and her staff led the Tritons to a 23-7 overall record and a 17-3 CCAA mark as the Tritons won a second-consecutive CCAA regular season title. The Tritons qualified the NCAA Division II postseason for the 10th time since 2000-01, competing in the quarterfinals against Simon Fraser. In her first year with the team, UCSD finished with a 22-11 record overall and placed second in the conference at 17-5. The Tritons won their first-ever league tournament title. Prior to coming to La Jolla, VanDerveer spent four seasons at Division III Occidental, where she compiled an impressive 83-26 record and led the Tigers to four straight Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference titles.
