There was shock and saddness in the entire area on Monday last when the news became known that Mrs.Loretta Tuoghy of Ballina Co.Mayo had passed to her eternal reward following a very short illness.Mrs.Tuoghy was the former Loretta Brown of Clonfin and her death has come as a severe shock to her family as only five weeks ago she and her brothers and sisters attended the funeral of their sister Mary Jo Raey in New York.Loretta was laid to rest in Ballina on Thursday last and Mass will be offered on this Saturday April 16th in St.Mary's church in Granard for the repose of the souls of both Mary Jo and Loretta.We offer our sincere sympathy to Loretta's family in Balina and to her brothers Frank [Clonfin]Michael [Willsbrooke] Margo Masterson,Rincoola and Bridie Mollaghan Clonmacart.May both Loretta and Mary Jo rest in peace.

Whiplash Injury – Symptoms and Investigations
Whiplash injury is an intriguing injury not just for the way it is injured, but also for the vague symptoms. The appearance of the symptoms after hours to days from the traumatic incident, frequently confuses the physician and delays the diagnosis. It is only the vigilance and knowledge of the affected person, that can make the diagnosis easy and early. However, there is frequent negligence on this part from an ignorant patient, which leads to further progression of the disease.
Whiplash Injury Symptoms
The earliest symptom to occur in a whiplash injury is neck spasm. The spasm is not only because of violent stretching of muscles, but also because of the injury to the nerve cells and ligaments. This is a protective response of the body to allow healing of the torn muscle fibers and ligaments. This is a very crucial period for this injury. If the neck is properly immobilized, healing occurs without any further problems. However, ignorance and neglect in this phase is what gives rise to the "whiplash associated disorders" or "whiplash syndrome", which are delayed manifestations of the injury.
Other symptoms seen in whiplash injuries are headache, tingling numbness in the hands, and shooting pain in the arms, and so on. These are due to nerve cell stretching and inflammation. Normally, if the neck is stable these symptoms rapidly recover. If there is instability of the neck bones (dislocation), then these changes persist for weeks and may even progress to full blown paralysis of the entire body below the neck !
Whiplash Injury Investigations
Whiplash injury is primarily an injury of soft tissues, like nerves, ligaments, and so on. Hence, MRI is the investigation of choice for establishing an accurate diagnosis. Though its high cost is prohibitive in using it for screening of each patient. If cost is not a concern, then MRI should be the first and last thing to do for diagnosis of a whiplash injury.
Investigations like X-ray, CT Scan, and so on, help us to know if the soft tissue injury is severe enough to cause any bony disturbance. Since, bones are clearly seen in these films, any disturbance in the normal arrangement of bones of the neck can be easily detected. They are commonly used for screening of patients of whiplash injury and if positive are followed up with an MRI for confirmation.
Grading of Whiplash Injury
A whiplash injury is graded as per severity of the symptoms. These grades were decided by Qubec Task Force.
- Grade 0: no neck pain, stiffness, or any physical signs are noticed
- Grade 1: neck complaints of pain, stiffness or tenderness only but no physical signs are noted by the examining physician.
- Grade 2: neck complaints and the examining physician finds decreased range of motion and point tenderness in the neck.
- Grade 3: neck complaints plus neurological signs such as decreased deep tendon reflexes, weakness and sensory deficits.
- Grade 4: neck instability with secondary spinal cord damage.
The grade of a whiplash injury is important from the perspective of a whiplash injury claims, as it clearly segregates the victims on the basis of severity.

I have the sources and can re-seed this one. Did not hear back from radtek yet, but I'll give it another day or two before giving up on him. He was always a good viner in my book.
Will check this weekend and see if I have the sources for this vine. There was a 7 part 1973 SHN/FLAC vine that went around (thanks dstache!), but it started at March not Feb. If I have these shows I would be happy to re-seed. I have sent a PM to radtek to see if he is still interested as it has been awhile.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The Securities and Exchange Commission is set to meet next week to address how to prevent runs on money market funds that could disrupt the $2.7 trillion market and the nation's financial system as a whole.
The federal regulator will hold a roundtable involving industry experts, academics, other regulators and agencies making up the newly created Financial Stability Oversight Council at its headquarters at 2 p.m. Tuesday. Here is a list of participants.
They will look at various existing proposals, such as the liquidity emergency facility proposed by the Investment Company Institute, as well as liquidity buffers, capital requirements, floating net asset values and two-tier money market structures, among others, that have come since the release last year of a report by the President's Working Group on potential ways to create more stability and resiliency, in the face of financial crises.
The roundtable will look at "what further steps can be taken to ensure that we don't have a run on money market funds that spreads broadly throughout the financial system and has the potential for" having a reverberating impact, SEC chairman Mary L. Schapiro told money market and other mutual fund executives at the General Membership Meeting of the Investment Company Institute.
The discussion comes less than three years after the failure of the nation's oldest money market fund, the Reserve Primary Fund, which suffered a run on its assets in September 2008 because those assets were concentrated in Lehman Brothers holdings. The fund's net assets "broke the buck," meaning their value fell to 97 cents a share, instead of $1, the bedrock promise of shares in these funds.
To prevent a recurrence of the Reserve collapse, where the U.S. government actually stepped in and provided reserve funds to Reserve shareholders, the Investment Company Institute in January proposed the creation of an industry-funded Liquidity Facility, for a future emergency.
But exchange-traded fund giant BlackRock and mutual fund paragon Fidelity Investments want funds to stand on their own. BlackRock wants "special purpose entities" created (and regulated) that can only operate money market mutual funds. And Fidelity recommends that every fund be required to retain a portion of its income to build a reserve against potential losses.
Here's how the three approaches stack up.
On May 16, the Investment Company Institute (ICI) will host its own one-day money market fund summit.
ICI, the national association for bond, stock and money market mutual funds, plans to bring together top analysts and industry leaders to discuss the current state of money markets, progress to date in strengthening money market funds since the financial crisis and the future of money market fund regulation.
The summit will be held Monday, May 16, at the St. Regis Hotel in Washington.

|Concluding the first four hours of training: Kihon-Kata-Kumite--the trinity of Karatedo to achive optimal effectiveness.
Four more karateka have come as international renshusei (trainees) here, at my dojo, in Oita-City. The four fromドイツ (Germany) included: Joerg Arndt (6th Dan): http://www.karate-dojos.de/); Peer Frasch (3rd Dan); and Axel Hoffmeyer (2nd Dan); and, second-time renshusei, Frank Kohler (3rd Dan).
|Explaining a key Budo Karate point kept within the elite Shotokan schools here in Japan. Focused faces and great karate spirit!
The focus of the weekend was the correct and elite practice of Kihon, Kata and Kumite - in combination - to achieve effective 'fighting ability', which is at 'the technical heart' of traditional Budo Karate. While I won't go into details—as these are for Frank, Axel, Peer and Joerg—I will say that extreme technical improvement was made by all four trainees over the eight hours. So I was very impressed by their physical effort, karate no seishin (karate spirit) and overall determination to make changes to improve their karate. Perhaps a short video, giving a few glimpses will come. Last, but not least, I'd like to once again thank Morooka San for his great assistance. Osu, André.

Latest Feature Connects Dayforce HCM with World's Number-One Job Site to Get More Applicants
MINNEAPOLIS, MN--(Marketwired - May 23, 2017) - Ceridian, a global human capital management technology company, announces that Dayforce Recruiting now connects with Indeed, the world's number-one job site. This integration, through Indeed Apply, means users of Ceridian's Dayforce Recruiting platform now have access to the more than 200 million people who search for jobs, post resumes and research companies on Indeed each month. By allowing candidates to apply to open jobs directly on Indeed.com, this partnership will benefit job applicants and employers by streamlining the job application process, ultimately leading to more applicants and enhanced recruiting efficiency.
Indeed Apply is fully mobile optimized to allow for applications from any device. Employers who accept mobile applications receive two times as many quality applicants and 60 percent of Indeed job search traffic comes directly from mobile devices.
With this functionality for Dayforce HCM, Ceridian's flagship product, HR Professionals can seamlessly place job postings on Indeed, helping them find the right fit for their organization quickly, efficiently, and with minimum hassle. This is particularly important while companies are faced with the challenge of finding qualified applicants in a job market very near what economists call full employment, with an unemployment rate of just 4.4% in April 2017.
Employers using an integrated applicant tracking system, like Ceridian, see a 67 per cent decrease in cost per qualified applicant from Indeed.
"Ceridian's integration with Indeed helps organizations to achieve their hiring goals in a way that saves time and money, and creates productivity," says Eric Schuster, VP Product Management, Ceridian. "Connecting Dayforce Recruiting with Indeed maintains the advantage of our single HCM solution -- including the elimination of redundant effort, inflexible workflows and error-prone manual steps -- while providing users access to a much broader applicant pool."
This latest feature builds on Dayforce's existing strengths as a single, integrated solution for all human capital management tasks. Dayforce provides organizations with access to real-time data and results with one employee record, one user experience and zero interfaces, reducing administrative overhead, increasing productivity and ultimately saving organizations money.
"In the current talent acquisition landscape, it can be incredibly important for organizations to increase their talent pool and decrease their costs through efficiencies," says William Tincup, President of RecruitingDaily. "Linking Dayforce HCM with Indeed makes a lot of sense, because recruiters get everything they need in a best-in-class human capital management solution."

5 Tips to give your guy to help get you in the mood
He wants sex, you just want to rest after a long day. Instead of hearing him complain for the umpteenth time about your lack of desire, these tips will help him get you in the mood.
No one in a relationship wins when one person is dying to have sex and the other is just dying from exhaustion or stress. It isn't fun being the party who feels undesirable or like he/she is constantly nagging the other for sex, nor is it wonderful being on the receiving end of constant requests. Many women say their husbands or partners expect sex, but instead of putting in the work to help get them in the mood, simply get fed up when the women in their lives aren't immediately receptive to their advances.
Communication is key in these situations, but it isn't always easy for women to clue their partners in on how they can help prep them for incredible sex. There are times when we may not even know what it takes to get the ball rolling.
We spoke with relationship experts, who shared five tips that you can give your guy the next time he wonders what it takes to get you fired up for sex.
Don't rush — We all know it takes women a lot longer to both build up to and achieve orgasm, so if we know our partners are in a rush to feel pleasure, we're less likely to get excited about sex. "Don't pounce," says relationship expert April Masini of Ask April. "If you want to get her in the mood, slow is the way go, so block out enough time to make it worth her while."
More: What sexting looks like when you're a married couple
Understand that foreplay begins long before you touch her — For many women, sex isn't just about that moment in time — our sexual desire increases the more loved and appreciated we feel, and that's something that builds up over the course of a day. And all of those little romantic gestures that work wonders in romance novels and films shouldn't be disregarded as corny. "A glass of wine, a bubble bath, a fire in the fireplace, dinner by candlelight — these are clichés for a reason: They work," Masini says. "A romantic mood that starts way before your lips touch hers, is essential to better sex for her (and you)."
Help her reach orgasm first — If your partner knows you're willing to dedicate the first portion of your night to helping her achieve an orgasm (whether orally, manually, with a toy or with penetration) there's a better chance she'll look forward to sex. "If you're one to call it quits after you've reached the finish line, help her get there first," Masini says. "Mutual satisfaction is always a plus."
Leave the house — While it isn't always possible to drop everything and take a trip to an intimate wine bar every time you want to have sex, if you can both plan a date that involves leaving the house, you might find yourselves more relaxed and eager to return home and rip each other's clothing off. "Women have to feel a level of comfort and be relaxed in order to 'get in the mood.'" says relationship expert Midori A. Verity, who is the author of Secrets to a Kick Ass Marriage. "The perfect way to do this is to give her a foot massage, or even better — get her out of the house and put her in a stress-free environment."
More: The way women and men react post-orgasm is very different
Pick up the slack — It may sound crazy, but yes, women greatly appreciate it when we're released from some of our stressful responsibilities — having less to do and think about definitely gets us in the mood. "Women often have a difficult time switching off the part of our brain that keeps track of all we have to do," says Dr. Suzy Olds, founder of After Nine Tonight. "So my advice to men is: Help your partner disconnect from the perpetual to-do list in her head by taking some of it off her plate. Finish the dishes and give the kids a bath while you give her time to get in the zone of intimate thoughts."
It's important to remember that we are equally responsible for helping to create an amazing sex life for ourselves and our partners. If we aren't communicating our needs to our partner, we shouldn't expect him to simply read our minds. Discover what turns you on and then pass on that information — your partner (and your body) will thank you for it!

Medivation has already made a big move, but the bulls are looking for more.
Back on May 29, OptionMonster's trade scanners detected buying in the July 50 calls for $3.50. The investor rolled a long position in those contracts yesterday, selling 2,250 contracts for $5.25 and buying an equal number of August 55 calls for $5.85.
Calls lock in the price where shares can be purchased in the drug developer, letting investors cheaply position for a move higher. Adjusting the trade cost $0.60 and gives him or her an additional month of upside exposure.

Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds Review: A Hidden Brawler Gem
What happens when an indie studio makes an arcade-style spin-off game to a popular title that was never released in North America? You end up with Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds, a side-scrolling beat-'em-up featuring four Japanese girls on a quest through Tokyo to save their friend from a sinister foe.
It's clear that developer Division2 was going for a very niche market when creating the story and characters of Battle Grounds. The four protagonists are all typical anime girls complete with Japanese voice acting over text boxes, and the story is full of anime tropes, but if that doesn't bother you, you'll have a fun time with this crazy tale of cyborg businessmen, the Demonsphere, and a schoolgirl-kidnapping villain.
But it's not the strange story that stands out. The action is this game's strong point. Featuring fun and fluid (and sometimes confusing) combat, Battle Grounds shines strictly as a 2D brawler. The mechanics and style feel a lot like other arcade hits like Castle Crashers, Scott Pilgrim, and Guardian Heroes. What separates this game is that the fighting takes place on two different horizontal planes or "lines," as the game likes to call them. With a quick button press, players can switch between lines to fight different enemies. However, as fast and fun as the combat is, it often felt like a button-masher to me. The lack of in-game tutorials (learning how to play is left to a 26-page text guide in the Options menu) made mastering the combat difficult, especially when characters' skill trees come into play.
After dying or completing any of the eight short stages in the game, your character will level up. After leveling, you're allowed to spend earned points to give yourself new abilities or up your attack, defense, or speed stats. By the time you reach the cap at level 50, you still have to choose between expanding your skill tree or upping your stats; there's no way to max out everything on one character, which is where I think Division2 dropped the ball. After completing the campaign (which only took me three hours at most), I was already nearly at level 50, giving me no incentive to replay the game on a harder difficulty with the same character. By the time you get the most powerful moves the game has to offer, your character is capped and you'll feel no need to continue using her. Allowing characters to become maxed out in terms of power and skills would have added much more to Battle Grounds' replay value. At least the game provides the option to redistribute your points at any time at no penalty, allowing for quick customization and experimentation.
Another problem I faced is that when I was choosing new skills for my character, I often found myself not knowing what the skills I was purchasing actually did, only that by buying them I was slowly becoming more powerful. By the end of the game, I had gotten the hang of some moves, but others I wasn't even sure I was activating. Had the developers added short tutorials for any newly purchased skills, this problem could have been easily avoided.
Despite the minor setbacks of a lack of in-game tutorials, confusing skill trees, and an incredibly short story, the game is still very fun to play. What adds to the entertainment is that other modes are available besides the regular campaign, such as an arcade mode that tasks players with beating high scores on stages, a co-op mode that allows four players to team up online or locally, and a versus option appropriately called Battle Grounds. The arcade and co-op modes particularly add a good amount of replay value to the game, and the option to go head-to-head with other players is available to those who want it. Unfortunately, players who purchase the optional DLC character cannot play online with those who haven't. In my time with the game, I couldn't even find a single person through matchmaking to play online with. Either no one is playing Battle Grounds, or I'm the only one without the DLC.
Further adding to the replayability is the ability to unlock hidden characters. After beating the game on the Hard difficulty, players can unlock a plethora of new characters to play with, most of them being bosses you face throughout the campaign. Each one is more than just a palette swap, featuring his or her own style of combat and even unique dialogue throughout the story. To max out every character, players will have to beat the game plenty of times. Besides that, players can also try their hand at the intimidating Nightmare and Nightmare+ difficulties, sure to give more hardcore players a run for their money.
What Battle Grounds attempts to do, it does well. Division2 has created a charming and entertaining brawler with a story as strange and interesting as its name implies, but it fails in places a game such as this should not. Casual players may be turned off not far into the game simply because they don't know how to play the game, and even more seasoned gamers will likely take to Internet forums and message boards in an attempt to master the controls, something a game like this doesn't call for. The inability to play online with others depending on whether or not they have the DLC is a bummer as well, but couch co-op is just as great for a game like this. If you enjoy solid beat-'em-ups and aren't turned off by a silly narrative or slow learning curve, Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds is worth a look.

Compiled by Isaiah Banda – Ka'ingo Private Game Reserve
Animal weaponry; an evolutionary arms race from elephants with great imposing tusks and kudu bulls with magnificent spiralling horns, to the array of scorpions with menacing pincers and venomous tails.
Examples of animal weaponry and armament abound throughout the natural world. These animals are in a continuous evolutionary arms race, either between predator and prey or between members of the same species competing for food and reproductive rights.
Animals with greater armaments will likely have more opportunities to reproduce. They pass on their superior genes to their offspring which fuels the race for bigger and more extensive weaponry.
So often when people think of armoury they think of large animals like elephants or rhino that carry big tusks or horns. There are however many species of animals, large and small, that have developed weaponry to defend themselves.
Certain animals have evolved very elaborate weapons while others have not. One group of animals which really stood out in his research for their extreme weaponry are dung beetles.
Here at Ka'ingo, and across Southern Africa, the dung beetles are often discussed for their ecological importance and intriguing methods of navigation, but not often for the extensive weaponry that many of the less conspicuous species exhibit. Many species of dung beetles have multiple protruding horns and extensive battle armaments that often grotesquely make up a third of their body size.
The extent of these horns when compared proportionately to their body size is completely mind blowing. Two such horned species which occur here at Ka'ingo are the rhino beetle and the dung beetle, the more commonly seen ball rolling dung beetles (telecoprids), which often provide guests with hours of great viewing pleasure.
Generally with the ball rolling species, battles will occur out in the open. The use of a horn will be of no advantage here against multiple opponents and so they rather spend their energy on being lighter and less encumbered to avoid confrontation.
The species which tunnel and burrow in the soil beneath the dung (paracoprids) are the ones which have evolved the greatest arsenal of weaponry
This is because certain conditions are present to promote this arms race. In these tunnels, males will have to face each other one-on–one as there is only space for one beetle at a time.
These tunnel duels are consistent and predictable, which is the recipe for the evolution of such extreme armaments. The beetle with the smaller weapons will get pushed out of the burrow and leave, if not severely injured.
While the male with the larger weapons is left with all reproductive rights, and their offspring will match their parents in weapon size, if not outdoing them with chance gene mutations, taking the race even further.
Rhino beetle on Ka'ingo private game reserve
For the rhino beetles above, the horns can make up 30% of a male's total weight. With these beetles, much of their energy is focused on horn growth at the expense of other organs such as eyes and reproductive parts. When horns become so costly that only a select few can afford them, and once this happens, the sole option left for the rest of the males is to "cheat".
Many of the same species, who cannot compete due to smaller weaponry, have developed a strategy of their own. They will build their own tunnels to bypass the larger horned males and mate with females undetected. Instead of spending all that extra energy on producing large weapons they can grow bigger testes to produce more sperm. Ultimately this could actually push the heavily armed beetles out of the gene pool which seems counter intuitive.
Thousands of these one-on-one duels take place every day under the rhino middens and other dung scattered all around the bushveld. There is, however, a great cost to animals for bearing such extensive weaponry which can eventually end the arms race.
But much as duels necessarily create arms races, arms races necessarily create cheaters — and cheaters can win, bringing an end to the race." There is in effect a tipping point where no more advantage is gained from having bigger weapons. I personally don't see this so much as cheating as I do a mechanism to bring about balance or create a new evolutionary path for these species. It is extraordinary to think how many of these micro stories and battles are playing out around us in the bushveld all the time and yet are seldom noticed.
Just one more reason why we should slow down and look for the extraordinary in even the littlest things around us
That's all for this month
From Isaiah & Ka'ingo team
Bushveld greetings

NBA rumors initially circulated regarding the possibility of free agent Norris Cole in joining the Cavaliers, and of a possible trade between the Warriors for Andre Iguodala.
Given the level of talent Andre Iguodala has coupled with his experience he would be a great addition to the defending champions. His value as a former NBA Finals MVP would translate into volumes in terms of leadership when the Cavs will make an attempt to defend their title, plus he is a great addition defensively.
ALSO READ: The Greek Freak signs $100M contract extension with Bucks, becomes third European to sign a nine-figure deal
But these are just about the same facts that make us wonder why the Warriors won't do anything within their power to keep their small forward/shooting guard. The acquisition of Kevin Durant has weakened their 2nd unit, and losing Andre Iguodala doesn't make sense.
So we are down with Norris Cole who is in a better position to end up with Cleveland, according to a report by CSN.
At 27 years of age, Norris Cole is a rising star and is already a 2x NBA champion during his Miami Heat days with LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh.
With the Pelicans he missed their first 17 games due to injury but has bounced back gradually and is now healthy with an average of 10.6 ppg and 3.7 apg.
ALSO READ: Derrick Rose accuser must reveal self, says judge?
Wouldn't be an ideal scenario for him to reunite with LeBron James as an NBA champion once again in Cleveland, as NBA rumors suggest?
According to a report by Yibada Norris Cole would be a perfect addition to their roster especially with J.R. Smith's contract still in dispute. This could mean the aging Mo Williams could retire, or play less time, and Kyrie Irving could be placed on the two position and focus on his scoring.
In terms of chemistry, Cole has been accustomed to LeBron James style of play and is expected to gel with minimal trouble.
His presence would be very vital in the Cavs attempt to enhance their offense, and he could fill in where Matthew Dellavedova had vacated when he moved to the Milwaukee Bucks.

HistoryThe Duwamish tribe native to the area once used this area as their summer hunting and recreation area, and it didn't take long for white settlers to follow suit. Within decades of the city's foundation, Madison Park was created and drew vacationers with piers and a promenade, a boathouse, live entertainment, and even Seattle's first baseball diamond. Once Madison Avenue was constructed and people could easily make their way to the area, houses were built like mad; everyone wanted their own personal view of Lake Washington. Today, a charming business district and the still-popular Madison Park beach are the pride of the neighborhood.

VibeIt's hard not to feel a little fancier when you're hanging out in Madison Park. The houses are beautiful, the shops and restaurants are classy and unique, and it's far enough away from the city to make it seem like you've really gotten away on vacation. It's also clear that the community is a supportive one; there are always events going on to honor local artists or give a nod to new businesses that have set up shop.
Activities and AttractionsAt the east end of Madison Avenue, you can find several blocks' worth of shops, restaurants, and spas. You'd have to go back several times to get an appreciation of the variety of cuisines; there are French bistros (like Chef in the Hat), sushi bars like Nishino, a handful of pubs and alehouses, one amazing Tex-Mex place called Cactus, and a smattering of other staples, like pizza and Thai food. Madison Park Beach and the Washington Park Arboretum both offer great outdoorsy activities, like swimming, kayaking, hiking, or just stopping to smell the roses. Or, as in the case of the arboretum, the rhododendrons.

Sir Elton John surprised the crowd at a Los Angeles concert on Wednesday (13Jan16) by singing duets of his hit songs with pop stars Demi Lovato and Shawn Mendes.
The British icon performed an intimate gig at The Wiltern to preview his upcoming Wonderful Crazy Night album, but he also played some of his classic tracks with a few of today's hottest stars.
Lovato took the stage to fill in for Kiki Dee on the duet Don't Go Breaking My Heart, while Fall Out Boy frontman Patrick Stump, who previously collaborated with Elton on the band's 2013 song Save Rock and Roll, joined the Rocket Man for Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting.
John also brought out 17-year-old Vine star-turned pop sensation Mendes to join him on Tiny Dancer, and quipped, "If I were 50 years younger... I'd still be one year older than Shawn."
The starstruck teen later took to Instagram.com to post a photo of himself onstage with the singer, writing, "I had the honor of playing Tiny Dancer with @eltonjohn tonight. Unreal. Unforgettable. Thank you!"
John also paid tribute to his late pal David Bowie, who died on Sunday (10Jan16) following a battle with cancer. He explained that years ago, he was blown away by the rocker's Space Oddity hit while he was searching for a new producer and arranger to work. He subsequently recruited Bowie's collaborators Gus Dudgeon and Paul Buckmaster, and they collaborated on his breakthrough hit, Your Song.
"I have David Bowie to thank for that," Elton said, "so I'd like to dedicate this to the starman himself," before playing a piano instrumental of Space Oddity.
Elton also paid tribute to Bowie the night before (12Jan16) during the taping of a SiriusXM Town Hall special, also at The Wiltern.

Review: 'Revival' #12
After a strong recent issue that saw "Revival" focus on a strong, central story for an entire issue, the series manages to do a complete 180 with its latest offering. "Revival" #12 is, yet again, mired in a series of unrelated plotlines and too many characters. As a result, it may be the weakest showing in the series yet.
WRITTEN BY: Tim Seeley
ART BY: Mike Norton
PUBLISHER: Image Comics
RELEASE DATE: July 17th, 2013
Whatever momentum "Revival" had coming off its previous issue, it immediately squanders in its latest. Storylines go nowhere, characters do one thing and are then passed by… nothing seems to have any significance in "Revival" #12. It's an extraordinarily frustrating issue to read through, given the potential that this series has, but when it lacks a strong narrative – or even a mediocre one – it's virtually impossible to care about the story or the characters. Recapping the issue is equally impossible, as it's just a series of events that are, at best, loosely connected.
It's not all bad. There are one or two minor character moments, and Mike Norton gets to experiment with a different type of visual format as he replicates the drawing of Dana's son Cooper following his abduction in the last issue. But it's not remotely enough to save this issue. "Revival" began as one of the more promising comics of last year. But every time an issue like this comes along, it begins to seem more like a wasted opportunity.

Unfortunately, the cause of CFS has not yet been identified. Scientists believe that it could have multiple causes including immune dysfunction, very low blood pressure, infections, stress, and nutritional deficiency, although evidence is lacking for nutritional defects in people with CFS.
It is, however, known that CFS patients are a high cardiovascular risk category. So, this factor should be taken into account while choosing foods for chronic fatigue syndrome. Like any other disorder, the top foods to beat chronic fatigue syndrome must come from a varied diet selected from the basic food groups to ensure an adequate nutrient intake and to reach and maintain a reasonable body weight.
Carbohydrates are the main energy source for the body. Include whole grains as part of the balanced diet to keep the digestive system in good working order. Brown rice, barley, quinoa, and oatmeal are some of the healthiest whole grain options. Choose gluten-free foods and avoid processed foods and refined sugars. Many CFS patients, however, feel better with low-carbohydrate diets. Whenever possible, go for fruits and vegetables as a source of carbohydrates rather than cereals and millets. Fruits and vegetables have an added advantage of essential minerals, which are important to people suffering from CFS.
Top protein foods for people with CFS are animal proteins such as meat, fish, and eggs, because animal proteins contain the maximum number of essential amino acids required by your body. Having said that, avoid red meats although you can have them occasionally. Nuts and beans are also good quality proteins but they are not as good as animal proteins. It is essential that you include variety of different proteins in your diet so that you can get all the amino acids. You may also include protein drinks, such as whey protein powders, to boost the low levels of glutathione in your weakened immune system.
Unlike the current recommendation for low fat diets, people with CFS are rather encouraged to consume healthy fats. Unhealthy fats should still be avoided. Fats help you improve poor immune function and hormonal imbalance, and also help in cognitive functioning. Moreover, fats are excellent source of energy. And the top source of fats is the extra virgin olive oil which is very rich in omega-3s. An Iranian study on neuroprotective effects of olive oil suggested that olive oil intake significantly reduced cell death and decreased memory loss, especially short term memory loss, common in CFS patients. Most studies therefore recommend the Mediterranean diet for CFS because this diet includes virgin olive oil. Papers presented in the International conference on the healthy effect of virgin olive oil also agreed that The Mediterranean diet, rich in virgin olive oil, improves the major risk factors for cardiovascular disease, such as the lipoprotein profile, blood pressure, glucose metabolism and reduced inflammation and oxidative stress.
Coconut and avocado oils are a close second. Meat and fish fats are also natural fats that you can consume.
Fruits and Vegetables
All green vegetables are good for those suffering from CFS. Researchers have found that CFS patients had elevated levels of methemoglobin (MetHb), a marker of oxidative stress, which shows that antioxidant treatment can help reduce free radical damage in them. A diet high in fruits and vegetables can increase plasma antioxidant capacity in people with CFS. Blueberries, with the highest ORAC (oxygen radical absorbance capacity) value, have been found to have significant benefits due to their high potential antioxidant activity, neuroprotective properties, and specific ability to protect red blood cells from oxidative damage.
Vitamin and Minerals - D-ribose
Since this disorder is associated with impaired cellular energy metabolism, it is necessary to choose foods that can improve the energy metabolism. A study from the Fibromyalgia and Fatigue Centers, Dallas, USA, suggests that D-ribose, a five-carbon sugar, from natural sources increases cellular energy synthesis in heart and skeletal muscle and significantly improves energy, sleep, mental clarity, pain intensity and well being in people with CFS. D-ribose is found as riboflavin in foods such as chicken meat (0.08 mg per 3 ounce serving), milk (0.34 mg per cup), cheddar cheese (0.11 per ounce), and almonds (0.23 mg per ounce). Note that D-ribose might lower blood sugar. If you have very low blood sugar or diabetes, dont take ribose supplements or vitamin.
Gupta and colleagues from Punjab University, India, recommended curcumin from turmeric to be a valuable option in the treatment of chronic fatigue syndrome.
Singal and colleagues from the same university suggested taking green tea to combat oxidative stress. In their experiment in lab animals, they found that green tea extract and catechin given for 7 days restored the reduced glutathione levels in the brains of these animals and improved the symptoms of fatigue. Still others have found Ginkgo biloba and Johns Wort to have the same effect.
Food intolerance is also one of the symptoms of CFS. So, not only should you concentrate on eating healthy foods, but try making dietary changes by eliminating certain foods from your diet and see if it benefits the symptoms. For example, an Australian study found that eliminating wheat, milk, benzoates, nitrites, nitrates, and food colorings and other additives from the diet significantly reduced fatigue, recurrent fever, sore throat, muscle pain, headache, joint pain, cognitive dysfunction and IBS, in 90 percent of the CFS patients participating in the study.
Another study found that eliminating milk, wheat and corn from the diet could benefit some patients. For that matter, the patients themselves should find out through trial and error method what foods they have intolerance to, and avoid those foods.

This is the second entry in our "Rebounds and Sounds" series where we highlight the official team DJs of the NBA and are provided a behind the scenes look on how these masters of in-game entertainment control the energy of some of the best homecourt advantages in sports.
In this edition I interview emcee, television personality, sports show host, radio DJ, turntablist, and instructor Ro Parrish. Parrish completed his fifth season as the team DJ for the Dallas Mavericks and is also a resident DJ for All-Star Weekend and the 8-city NBA Nation Tour. Ro has also been selected to host numerous NBA All-Star Weekend events and has emceed the NBA Celebrity Game on multiple occasions.
A man of many talents, you can find Parrish hosting such shows as the (Dallas) Mavs Insider program on Fox Sports Southwest and New Music Tuesdays on Eye Opener.
Ro's next gig of note is the BigD NYE New Year's Eve celebration where he will serve as the official DJ, Master of Ceremonies and Music Director. BigD NYE is the region's biggest New Year's Eve celebration with ABC simulcasts across Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Louisiana and Kansas.
Parrish also does extensive work with The Guide Right Foundation, an organization that provides community services, organizational support and educational scholarships for disadvantaged youth and citizens in the Dallas Area.
Ro took a few minutes out of his hectic schedule to answer a few questions for us and provide us with a realistic look of what his average day looks like:
Q: What inspired you to become a DJ?
A: Honestly I've just always loved the music. My parents always listened to a lot of different genres of music – stuff like Luthor Vandross, Stevie Wonder, Steely Dan, anything from Motown and even Elton John. My family was all over the place. My uncle also lived with us for a while and he was a DJ.
One thing I always noticed was when you watch shows like YO! MTV Raps, Rap City etc. is that even though the emcees are/were cool, I was always looking at what the DJs were doing. When Run DMC was out there I was always a fan of Jam Master Jay in the back. Or when I saw Salt N Pepa, I liked Spinderella. When I checked out EPMD, I liked the sounds DJ Scratch was making. DJs are in the background but they are basically running the show. I really like the technical aspect and the ability to control the crowd.
Q: With Electronic Dance Music (EDM) coming to the forefront, the definition of what a "DJ" is has changed and people are relabeling certain producers as DJs. Performers are also putting on concerts with pre-recorded mixes. What are your thoughts about the EDM movement and how to do you see this impacting the perception of DJs in general?
A: I always like to look at the bigger picture and I kind of look at it like I look at different genres of music. For instance, if I want to party tonight I want to hear some party rocking tracks like LMFAO or some EDM like Calvin Harris. There's certain music for that. If I want to chill there's certain music for that too, like Earth Wind and Fire or some Jazz. Just like there are certain types of genres there are certain types of DJs.
I'm not the type of person to look down on a DJ. I understand it's taken a different direction lately and I don't necessarily endorse certain things that are going on like playing pre-recorded sets and acting like you're DJing.
I do understand though it's become a part of the culture and ultimately it's going to push DJs forward altogether. For a while DJs have been scaled back and forgot about. You go to certain concerts and you don't even see a DJ anywhere. If you do see a DJ they are just up there acting. Now the DJ is back to the forefront and I do like that aspect but I wish DJs and producers would understand the craft and where it came from and have the respect not doing the pre-recording or acting on stage. That's where I lose my respect for them (EDM DJs) as an artist or DJ. I understand what they are doing and I'm glad they are able to make money since that's what it's about. That and moving the crowd.
Pauly D isn't the best DJ in the world and he's not going to do anything spectacular but he's helping other DJs out. He's helping get DJs to the forefront. He's not technical with his sets and he's not a turntablist but he's helping out the culture for the most part. It's taking that 10-year old kid that is watching Pauly D do his thing and having him get interested in DJing and learning the craft himself.
Q: How did you catch on with the Dallas Mavericks and their in-game entertainment?
A: I started interning with the Dallas Mavericks when I was a sophomore in College. I was an "NBA Logger" where I was to document anything significant that happens during the game and timecode everything that happens so it matches up with the video. For example, "Jumper Nowitzki, assist Nash, fastbreak." We do this so when you're looking for a specific play you can go back and find it. I did this all throughout College.
I wasn't DJing much in college but I was doing all the on-air personality stuff. After college I left the Dallas Mavericks for a little bit and picked up a TV job. When I came back to Dallas (2007) they had an opportunity for me. They noticed I DJ and I had on-air experience so they created a position for me and next thing you know I was named the official team DJ for the Dallas Mavericks as well as the host for their pre-game show and TV program. I was in the right place at the right time. I knew the right people and they remembered me. They told me that I do good work and they wanted to make sure I was on board.
The TV work scratches the back of the DJ career and vice versa. I also work for the Dallas Cowboys in a similar capacity but more on the television side. This position helps me get other gigs like hosting/DJing player private events.
Q. What does your typical work-day look like and what type of preparation is involved before you perform?
A: After we won the championship things started changing in preparation for the lockout so they cut back in certain areas. Previously, I did the pre-game show and my responsibilities during the game depended on what was going on. Dallas has a sound person that controls the defense chants and certain music during the game.
After the lockout sponsors dropped and money wasn't as available. The Mavericks are really big on in-game presentation but when you factor in having a team DJ, multiple in-arena hosts, drumline, the Maniacs, the dance team etc. and that the sponsors started dropping they had to pull back somewhere.
Although my responsibilities were cut back by the Mavericks I'm still recognized as an Official Team DJ by the league office, I like to say "accredited," and they send me out to every NBA All-Star Weekend as both a DJ and a host. I was also selected to go on an 8-city tour with the NBA Nation.
Q: What types of songs make the best in-game music?
A: The thing that I've noticed in doing pre-game music, in-game, whatever is it really breaks down into certain segments. Some parts are for the audience and fans and some parts are for the players. For instance, the pre-pre game music once the door opens is usually some sort of themed, specialty mix. If it's 80's night you'll pay a ton of that for example. If it's just a regular game you can do an open format mix with a lot of different songs.
When you get into the pre-game when the players are coming out that's when you want to have a mix of high energy tracks but also songs that the players like. You want to make sure they're in the right mindset. I've had players come up to me and say "you're playing some bullshit." And I'm like my bad. The players really listen and they want to hear certain tracks when they come out.
I have good relationship with a ton of the guys and I can just text them or talk to them about what they listen to. For example, I know Shawn Marion loves Young Jeezy and wants to hear some Rick Ross so I work some of those songs in. It just comes down to communication as well as having an ear to the street and knowing what's hot.
That's different than what you play in game. It's more fan friendly. You'll have your defense chants for example. We're able to throw in some instrumentals as well. Some NBA teams do it and some don't but when the home team is on offense you can play some instrumentals. You'll hear a hip hop beat when Dirk is dribbling so we're able to mix it up a little.
I might throw in a few mash-ups during pre-games but during the games it's more or less standard and the players are pretty focused on the game. As long as the bass is thumping and they're familiar with the track they are good.
Q: What is your favorite experience from your travels as an NBA DJ/Personality?
A: You can mark down every single NBA All-Star Weekend. Those are just spectacular. Number one it's just an honor to be selected. It's like the NBA saying we look at you as the crèam of the crop just like when a player get's selected as an All-Star.
Once you get there the camaraderie is great. I come from a background where I used to play sports so the unity part of it I really enjoy. Everybody knows everybody during All-Star Weekend so when the DJs come together we get to laugh together, hangout, trade music, etc. It's really fun for me personally. A lot of times you don't get to see these guys since you're in a different city and now you just get to sit down and hang with these guys.
I have a ton of fun on the NBA Nation tour. It's similar to All-Star Weekend. We're hanging out and we're pulling pranks on each other. For example, we were in Philly and I got challenged to do a New Edition set and I was like "cool, let's do it." I did a whole New Edition set for 2 hours. Those experiences are priceless. You're just having fun. You're getting compensated nicely. You're out there with the fans. People are having a good time. They're basically paying you to have fun.
Basically, any NBA sanctioned event is the best because you're put on a stage and certain people at certain positions are watching. I love those moments because you have to be on your "A" game.
Q: The NBA has some of the most intense competition in all of sports – explain the competitiveness between you and your fellow team DJs and what type of bets go on behind the scenes?
A: Every DJ in every arena has different responsibilities so it's tough to have a competition like that and they don't have the camera on the DJ the whole time so it's tough to keep track. We tried to set up certain things during NBA All-Star Weekend and they haven't really worked out.
Me and DJ Bedz made a side bet a few years ago. That's the only time we can do a competition or make a wager. The best was whichever team wins the series gets to gloat and the loser has to go to the visiting city and rock a complimentary party and take pictures in the other team's uniform. That was the series where Carmelo hit a last second three in one game and they ended up winning the series. I ended up going to Denver and did a mix with Bedz and getting a pie in the face. It was crazy but it was a lot of fun. I wouldn't trade it for anything. It was all in fun.
Q: You're an emcee, television personality, sports show host, radio DJ, turntablist and more – how do you find time to sleep? Kidding aside, what keeps you motivated and which role do you enjoy the most?
A: (Laughs)
I always tell myself "It drops deep as it does in my breath. I never sleep, cause sleep is the cousin of death." I do actually find time to sleep but I come from a family that is almost nocturnal. We stay up late and get up early. That's how we're made up. I always try to push myself to do better things. Climb the ladder. For example, I see things on Twitter and things online like the ten highest paid DJs in the world. I see those things and I tell myself I need to do something better. I need to turn off Sportscenter and open up the Serato. I need to get better organized. I need to download the right music. I need to make sure my sets are right. I need to make sure I'm in the know in social media. I need to know what's going on.
I know I'm really busy but at the same time I know I want more. I want to be able to say "challenge accepted". There are always different opportunities and when there's not any you have to make things happen. If I'm not in the gym, I'm in the studio. I try to stay busy.
In terms of my favorite role I go back and forth. My first love was the music but later on I learned I love having a personality in front of the camera. It's 50/50 sometimes. You get a certain satisfaction from rocking a crowd and then you get another when you're holding the mic and you have to say certain things and do an interview. I compare it to when Deion Sanders was playing football and baseball. They're two different sports and you want to compete at the highest level. They asked Deion how come you don't high step when you hit a homerun. He told them it's a completely different game. You get the satisfaction out of if but it's a different game. TV is excellent. There are certain things I do on TV that I won't do when I'm DJing and vice versa.
I love both of them. They both compliment each other really well. I'm like they're really giving me a mic and they are paying me to run my mouth.
Q: Is there anything you would like for us to know that we haven't discussed already regarding preparation or your in-game work?
A: I always tell people not to be ready, stay ready. For example, I always make sure I have tracks ready for "hot timeouts". Have all clean music. I'm really big on organization. Know your music so you're not stumbling to find a track.
For TV, I want to make sure I do my research. Find a tidbit I can throw in so they can tell I did my research.
People have the Five P's but I have the 7 P's – I live by Parish Proper Preparation Prevents Piss Poor Performance.
Q: Tell us about the type of social or charity work you do?
A: First off I just want to say I especially admire DJ Bedz as a philanthropist and all he does with his charity work. He always goes over and beyond.
As for me, one thing I do now is I'm a member of Kappa Alpha Psi and we do work with with The Guide Right Foundation. It's for black students that are in between their sophomore and senior year in high school. We work with them and teach them how to become leaders and how to become men. I really think it's important to work with our youth and to show them that there's other things they can do besides becoming an athlete. There are other things you can do to be successful. Just don't think you have to do those types of things. We teach the students to treat women with respect, pay your taxes, just little things you need to know in becoming a man. I really relish trying to be that big brother.
Q: Where can we connect with you online?
Q: Anything else you want to add?
A: Look out for the Dallas Mavericks this season. A lot of people are sleeping on the team. Everybody is talking about the Los Angeles Lakers and the "Not 5, Not 6, Not 7" Miami Heat but keep an eye on the Dallas Mavericks. A lot of people are sleeping on them but you got to take your NoDoz.

I feel like Adriana has the worst luck when she uses elven accuracy.
Did not know Stephen had quit his job, *been catching up on my CH podcasts*, Hell this probably wasn't even the epi where he mentioned it.
Anyway, getting VIP gold to encourage you guys!
Awesome episode all! I know, I know…. I am waaay behind! No spoilers, please (ironic to ask that on the MS site!) :-)
As I've been getting through the last 30 – 40 episodes, I had been thinking to myself "Gee, when was the last time any combat was really challenging for this party? I can't recall the last time any character went down." Lo and behold!!! Someone drops the first round!! Thank you for restoring my faith in the game system mechanics for creating challenging fights, Rodrigo!
On another note, and please take this only as constructive feedback from a real fan, I would like to express some disappointment in the plot. We spent weeks, and weeks, and weeks following the party's progress in The Natural World, trying to gather resources, deal with fall-out from Spud's actions, etc….. Reeling with emotion and angst at the party in-fighting (thankfully all resolved)…. Bemoaning and cajoling them to GET A MOVE ON! THE DRUID TOLD YOU TIME WAS OF THE ESSENCE — YOU CAN'T HELP EVERYONE IN THE NATURAL WORLD SOLVE ALL THEIR PROBLEMS!! But all of that made for REALLY GOOD STORYTELLING! The characters & role-playing were totally believable and it was awesome!
Then we get to the UnderDark (after one hilarious session debating about how to get down the well, when Torq had it right all along — when the DM presents a deep, dark hole with no apparent way down and is too deep for rope — you just jump!)…. but then, just a few episodes later we are skipping right past the UnderDark with no conflicts or challenges, and then the Hogba comes along and skips us right past the Fey Dark? I am sorry, but I was really looking forward to see some adventures in these new parts of the multi-verse. Sigh. I hope we get to see those places again sometime.
Thank you for listening…. and I can't wait to hear how the rest of the season plays out.

text: After scarface and after couple other movies Al Pacino settled down a bit. In his spare time he took to plastic surgery and got a facelift and Botox injections. The before and after photos show that the most noticeable change is the fillers in his cheeks. The puffiness around his jaw line looks completely different from before. What do you think of Al Pacino's cosmetic surgery?

Who will make 'Dabangg 2′ if not me, asks Abhinav KashyapNovember 13th, 2010 - 4:23 pm ICT by IANS
Mumbai, Nov 13 (IANS) Abhinav Kashyap, whose directorial debut 'Dabangg' is the biggest hit of year so far, rubbishes rumours that he won't be making the sequel of the film but adds that it will take a couple of years for the second edition to hit screens.
"This is just a rumour. I want to know if I am not making it, then who is making it? I even spoke to Arbaaz (Khan)…even he doesn't know from where these rumours are coming," Kashyap told IANS.
There was much speculation that the sequel to the Salman Khan-starrer would be directed by actor-producer Arbaaz Khan or his brother Sohail Khan.
Kashyap added: "'Dabangg' sequel will happen in two years from now because Salman is committed to do two or three films besides television shows and live shows. To make a film, you need time, especially from the lead cast, which I would not have before one and a half years from now."
The director says that he would, however, be making another film before the "Dabangg" sequel.
"I haven't started writing the script of 'Dabangg 2′. I have started developing the script of what I want to do. I would make another film before 'Dabangg 2′. 'Dabangg2′ would not be my second film," said Kashyap.

The Maryland House of Delegates today was to begin considering of bills that would either raise $74 million in new taxes or leave in place steep cuts in local government aid in the proposed fiscal 1992 budget.
Last night, the House gave preliminary approval to the $11.5 billion budget plan. Final votes on the budget and tax bills are set for tomorrow.
The tax measures under consideration would expand the state's 5 percent sales tax to cigarettes and other tobacco products and would reduce capital gains tax breaks. Each of the measures is expected to raise $37 million.
