Around the MLB Horn 02 Feb 2011
News from the Atlanta Braves organization was heart-felt, and much needed. After Bobby Cox announced his retirement last season it was thought as a sure thing that Chipper Jones would be leaving as well. Entering his 19th season as the Braves third-basemen, Jones is well on his way to Srping Training. He had knee surgery, and has been steadily working on his swing to keep it sharp. He hasnt fielded any ground balls or ran any of the bases yet, and Chipper reports that the cold weather has kept him from getting in full day workouts but he is grateful for that. " If you know me Im usually the guy that tries to do too much all of the time." Jones said. " The cold weather has kind of kept the reigns back, and I feel okay about that." Jones has been in physical therapy but is confident that he will be ready by the time Spring Training starts.
Zack Greinke, and Shawn Marcum took some questions and answers from fans at the Brewers Fanfest over the weekend. When asked who they were in favor of to win the Superbowl, Greinke decided to play Devils Advocate and tell the fans he favored the Steelers to win. Greinke was nearly boo-ed off the stage but Bob Uecker interjected to save Greinke was total demonization. " Hey, everyone. Calm down. He's only been in town for like, 15 minutes!" Uecker laughed. Shawn Marcum took the other approach and decided to stick with the home town favorite. The Green Bay Packers.
Lou Piniella retired last season in August because of his mothers health reasons is back in baseball already. Piniella, 67, will try to reach an agreement with the Giants this year to become a special advisor for the front office of the organization. The Sanfrancisco Chronicle reported that Piniella will "consult in a variety of ways, whether its scouting or advising…well, whatever a baseball lifer of 48 years can provide." The Giants have not confirmed or denied any details of the report.
Last season Cito Gaston took heavy criticism due to letting John Buck sit behind the plate for the majority of the season rather than put their rookie catcher J.P Arencibia in instead. Gaston wasnt all to blame though. When trying to sign Buck to a contract the Blue Jays owner Alex Anthopoulus promised John Buck that he would be the everyday backstop for the Jays. Since Anthopoulus is a man of his word thats exactly what happened. Not only did that help John Buck sign a three-year deal with the Florida Marlins for the start of the 2011 season worth $18 million dollars but it also didnt help prove that Arencibia was strong enough for the Majors. " When John Buck was signed to a one-year deal, the promise was made to him that he was going to be the every day player from start to finish." Anthopoulus said. "When we were competing to sign him, there were a few other teams out there that wanted him. That was what seperated us from some of the other teams." Base strictly on performance, Buck was the Blue Jays best option for the 2010 season.
More ahead as Spring Training nears.

Rebuilt engines, frequently called overhauled engines, have been dismantled, inspected, cleaned, and their parts are replaced or repaired to update them to current manufacturing specifications. Rebuilding an engine, while labor intensive, costs less than replacing your entire vehicle or engine. Due to the unique process, some parts of rebuilt engines might be as old as the original, slightly used, or brand new, but many manufacturers will offer a warranty anyway. Choosing a rebuilt engine can extend the life of your car and might be a cost-effective option if you know you have serious engine trouble.
Technically, rebuilt engines are different from overhauled engines. With rebuilt, or remanufactured engines, a mechanic will either save or fix parts based on the amount of wear or damage. The original manufacturer of your engine, whether from an automobile or boat, is the only one authorized to remanufacture the engine. Much specialized machining is done to ensure that every part works well. However, overhauled engines contain only a few replaced parts, at full cost, and rarely involve machining old parts. This can be less effective in extending the life of the vehicle.
Some of the machining done in rebuilt engines includes reforming the piston-cylinder system. The cylinder channels are re-bored and the pistons are fitted to match the larger cylinders. All bearings are smoothed and lubricated. The crankshaft or camshaft might be reground, heads resurfaced, and connecting rods machined and precisely gauged. Other, less expensive parts, could be replaced, such as the timing belt, gaskets, and belts.
Since rebuilt engines have different parts with different operating histories, they are not guaranteed to last as long as a new engine. A part that was fine when the engine was evaluated during the remanufacturing process may malfunction after the engine has been re-installed. Yet, the advantage remains that it has been thoroughly inspected. If your vehicle stopped working for one reason, rebuilding the engine may lead to discovering, and preventing, other things that would have otherwise gone wrong.
Another advantage to rebuilt engines is that they will now meet current requirements regarding OEM, original equipment manufacturer, specifications. These might have changed since the engine was first produced, and their improvements might make your engine run smoother and more efficiently. If you have an engine with high mileage, especially over 100,000 miles (160,000 km), it might be worth considering rebuilding it.

Sometimes amidst the sea of celebrity scandals and the he said/she said verbal vendettas, we forget to accentuate the pop culture positive. We have an endearing tale of celebrity goodwill that will warm the heart of even the most ardent grinch — consider it our twist on the "blind item."
Earlier this year, this mystery celebrity traveled to a remote village abroad to assist a charity that works to build schools in developing countries. Our secretive volunteer didn't just write a check and sit on the sidelines, oh no, he or she helped sift concrete, lay down cinder blocks, and playing with children in the area.
The celebrity later said the experience was "life changing,"
So who is this mystery humanitarian? We'll give you a few days to speculate and reveal the answer next week!

Frankensteins Fix: The Haunted Radio Station
12 comments post a comment
An engineer struggles through the night to fix a radio station's transmitter as the townspeople begin gathering, pitchforks at the ready.
Back in the late 1970s, there was a television program called WKRP in Cincinnati. The station manager was the son of the station owner. He mismanaged the station and could not be fired, because, after all, "What mother would fire her own son?"
I worked for such a station as a contract engineer. It was smaller, and the manager was younger and less competent than the guy in charge at WKRP. The station transmitter was located in a riverbed, which provided an excellent ground and no structures within nearly a thousand feet of the tower. The building was made of concrete and contained a Gates BC-1T one-kilowatt transmitter, along with some audio processing and monitoring equipment. The single tower was next to the building, and the matching network was just inside the building.
Because of the concern of flooding, there was a large sump pump and a plank forming a tall door jam at the bottom of the only door. Just as long as the power did not fail, the pump could easily remove any water that seeped through the floor or concrete walls.
One day, I got a call from the owner's son that the station was off the air. I rushed out to the transmitter. When I arrived, I discovered that what had been an open field only days ago was now a large lake with a tower in the middle.
I asked him what happened. "I went out to see if the transmitter was OK, and when I opened the door, the transmitter turned off," he said.
He had some waist-high boots for me. I yanked them on, and we went out to the transmitter shack. It was scary walking through two feet of strong river current to the transmitter several hundred feet from the shore. By this time, the water level was below the plank, and we went into the building. The sump pump had removed most of the water. I opened the transmitter and made an assessment. Every transformer was damaged except the modulation transformer, because it was well sealed. The transmitter was dead.
Every minute that a station is off the air means lost revenue, and this particular station was so poorly managed that it was losing money even when it was on the air. I had to work quickly. I decided that I needed to replace the main power transformer (which was 220-6,000 volts), the intermediate power (IPA) transformer (which was 220-1,000 volts), and the modulation choke.
I contacted a friend who lived nearby and asked if he had any transformers lying around. He said he had a few television power transformers. I said I'd take them. He said that there was a big transformer lying around at an FM station some 40 miles away, but it weighed a ton. I was sure that his statement was hyperbole, but I did not want to take any chances. I got every man who worked at the station into my little Toyota, and we went to the distant station. By the time we arrived, it was dark.
The distant FM station had a graveyard of old transmitter parts in the basement. I dug through the parts until I found a big transformer. The trip to the distant station was not bad, but after we loaded the transformer into my trunk, the Toyota did not handle too well. When we got back to the station, the river had acquired a layer of ice.
We all worked to get the transformer from my car to the transmitter shack and placed it next to the transmitter. Everybody, except me, went home. I watched them cross the semi-frozen river in the darkness, and then they disappeared at the shore of this strange new lake. I stared into the darkness and heard the eerie cracking of the ice as the water receded beneath it. I suddenly realized that I was alone. I was all alone. I felt like the last living cell in a dying corpse. I closed the door to preserve the heat. When I turned around, I saw directly in front of me a dead transmitter. I wondered if it was really possible to take old discarded parts to reanimate a dead transmitter. But I knew that I had until sunrise to find out.
I wired the two-television transformer in series to get about 800 volts center tapped, more or less. I ran some long wires from where the power transformer was originally mounted to the temporary transformer. The next problem was the modulation choke. The modulator used a push-pull amplifier consisting of two 833A power triodes. The balance prevented saturation of the transformer. Running the RF amplifier plate current through the transformer would have saturated the core and reduced the fidelity, so the designers bypassed the RF plate current through a choke. Since the choke was unusable, I ran the RF plate current through the secondary of the modulation transformer. I decided not to run the transmitter at full power until I could replace the modulation choke.
After many hours of work, I stood back and looked at the transmitter. Would it come back to life? Or would it explode? With great trepidation, I reached for the plate switch. I wondered if a giant spark would jump out of the transmitter and zap me. With all the courage that I could muster, I pressed the plate switch. I looked at the meters, and they had proper readings.
I screamed, "It's alive! It's aliiive!"
I knew that the villagers would have their little pitchforks ready to eat bacon and eggs with their morning news and music as the sun rose over the receding river. I had not disappointed them.
Before going home, I brought the damaged power transformer and the modulation choke to a local motor repair shop. Then I ordered a replacement IPA transformer. Finally, I went home and got some sleep. Within a week, the transmitter was completely repaired and back to full power.

MAYFLOWER — The Pottsville Lady Apaches captured another road win at Mayflower on Thursday night. The Lady Apaches have started strong this season with a 3-0 non-conference record.
Courtney Dotson was the leading scorer for Pottsville with 19 points and six rebounds. Maggie Lee had a great night on the glass with 11 rebounds and chipped in five points. Callie Cox had four assists and ripped off 10 points for the Lady Apaches. Pottsville will be on the road again Tuesday at Bauxite for another nonconference game.
Hector SB 75, Oark 32
HECTOR — The Wildcats — not the Hornets, as a previous story incorrectly indicated — won their season opener with a 75-32 thumping of Oark on Tuesday night.
Hector outscored Oark 64-23 in the first period en route to the win. Three Wildcats scored in double figures — Chandler Stanek netted 21, Jacob Cronister had 14, and Logan Riley added 11. J.W. Mackey and Daniel Lott each scored eight. Chandler Stanek had six assists, Jordan Chisum four and Eric McGowen three.
Lott grabbed nine rebounds, while Cronister finished with seven boards. Stanek had four steals, while Mackey and Cronister each added three.
Nemo Vista JG 42, Pottsville 15
LAMAR — Pottsville's Junior Lady Apaches were handed their first defeat in the Lamar junior high invitational tournament. Nemo Vista led 12-6 after the first quarter, 25-6 at halftime and 35-9 after the third.
Leading scorers for the Apaches were Erin Heikes with three points and Katie Cormier, Carlee McClure, Ashley Brannon, Sloan Aulgur, Molly Watson, and Baily Schrepfer all scored two points apiece.
"You just can't take nights off when you are playing against a really good team, and that's what Nemo is," Pottsville coach Drew Siebenmorgan said.
"They came out on fire and shot the ball well and we didn't take care of the basketball on offense. We didn't play anywhere close to our potential, and I thought they played one of their better games, but I think we needed a game like that to get us grounded.
Pottsville will play at 3 p.m. today against either Hector or Johnson County Westside.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - A key senator says Iowans' new $54 tax credit would be better spent to fix the state's crumbling roads and bridges.
The Department of Revenue announced last week that many Iowans will be eligible for the credit when they file 2013 taxes. The department says $120 million is available in the Iowa Taxpayers Trust Fund for the 2013 tax year. The credits are part of a tax relief package passed this year.
State Sen. Joe Bolkcom, D-Iowa City, is chairman of the tax-writing Ways and Means Committee, and he says a more strategic use of the money would be to "turn the Taxpayer Trust Fund into the taxpayer road fund."
Bolkcom expects his proposal will be debated in the 2014 legislative session.

The Washington State University football team never arrived in San Francisco and the California Bears crushed a team resembling the Cougars, 30-7 to all but dash the hopes of the Cougars staying out of the Pac-12 North basement and put head coach Paul Wulff's job in serious jeopardy. With the loss, the Cougars drop to 1-5 in conference play and 3-6 overall on the year.
Wazzu went three and out on their first offensive possession against the formidable California defense and only four minutes and three seconds into the game, much-maligned Bear quarterback Zach Maynard tossed a 19-yard touchdown pass to Anthony Miller for a 7-0 California lead. The Bears' defense continued to shut down the Wazzu offense and after a 29-yard pass play from Maynard to receiver Keenan Allen took it down to the two-yard line, Bears' running back Isi Sofele went over for the touchdown to make it 13-0 after the extra point was blocked [perhaps the only good thing to happen for Wazzu in the first quarter].
In the second quarter, California added another touchdown as running back C.J. Anderson ran in for a five-yard touchdown run to make it 20-0 in favor of the Bears and Bears' placekicker Giorgio Tavecchio added a 43-yard field goal to make it 23-0 going into the locker room at halftime.
In the third quarter, California only took two minutes and 43 seconds to score as Will Kapp scampered 43 yards for a touchdown to make it 30-0. Sofele fumbled on the last play of the third quarter - giving Wazzu the ball on the California 17-yard line after a nine-yard return by linebacker Alex Hoffman-Ellis - and Wazzu finally got on the scoreboard with a five-yard touchdown run from running back Rickey Galvin to make it 30-7 and the game's final points.
The California defense held the Cougars' offense to only 22 yards total offense in the first half.
California head coach jeff Tedford has not lost to the Cougars since 2002.

It's back to the drawing board in the town of Longboat Key's quest to modify its codes and Comprehensive Plan.
Town Manager Dave Bullock told the Longboat Key Town Commission at its Tuesday, Jan. 22 regular workshop he isn't comfortable recommending either one of two companies willing to review the current codes.
"Neither firm met my expectation for the best team going into this," Bullock said. "We need a careful and thorough look at our zoning code and where the Key wants to be."
The town put out request for proposals in May to find a consultant to help the town through an analysis and an objective review of existing town conditions. But, even after a committee was formed to produce a recommendation, the commission agreed Tuesday neither company that came forward was a fit for the job.
The town-hired consultant will look at all aspects of the community and hold no less than 10 community meetings to discuss everything about the island, including its residential and tourism aspects.
The five main areas of concern are residential, tourism, commercial, marketing and zoning.
Once a consultant is selected and community meetings are held, there will be follow-up meetings to discuss the consultant's findings.
The consultant will also attend and assist staff with the future public hearings required to adopt any of the plans or policies that come from the public meetings.
In April, the Longboat Key Town Commission directed town staff to find a community consultant after commissioners rejected a proposal from The Urban Land Institute (ULI) to organize a five-day panel of various professionals for a similar project, at a cost of $125,000.
On Tuesday, the commission made a decision to give the ULI another look and invite officials to Town Hall for a discussion.
"The Urban Land Institute wasn't interviewed," said Mayor Jim Brown. "Many of us believe they can do this."
Planning and Zoning Board Chairwoman B.J. Webb, who expressed frustration earlier this week with how slowly the process is going, urged the town Tuesday to move forward expeditiously.
"I said years ago we can't continue to put Band-Aids on the zoning code and the Comp Plan," Webb said. "When you have Band-Aid projects on a continual basis, those Band-Aids fall off. We desperately need a new Comp Plan and a new zoning ordinance."

What's Cooking?: Autumn Harvest
As I survey the colorful array of apples, pears, grapes, winter squash, persimmons, and pomegranates, they remind me of autumn jewels waiting for me to spirit them away to my kitchen. For me, it is the season to open the ovens, and bake those pies and tarts! I excitingly gloss over new recipes and retrieve the time-tested favorites. The first apple pie of the season is sort of a celebration in our house. With great anticipation, we can't wait to have a flaky crust embrace these luscious slices in the hot oven. The apple pie I make is filled with the combination of what I name as the "3Gs" - Granny, Gala, and Golden Delicious apples and then it is covered with a rich brown sugar crumb topping. So good with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on that crunchy topping!
The other classic pie I love to make is a pumpkin pie topped with pecans mixed in a little butter and brown sugar. Those pecans give it a "mmm...mmm" moment. I might even make a nutty pie crust to go with it. All in all, the permeating aroma of warmth and comfort signals the upcoming winter holiday season.
What a wonderful selection of dishes to create with this rich harvest. I just made a roasted butternut squash soup a week ago. It was easy to put together with just a few ingredients but what made it unique was an added sweet potato and touch of Chinese five-spice powder. Another favorite dish is a recipe that was demonstrated by Emeril Lagasse on the show Good Morning America ten years ago - "Baked Butternut Squash with Italian Sausage Stuffing". Emeril filled it with a delicious sausage stuffing mixed and topped with mozzarella and Monterey jack cheese. I substitute the butternut squash with the round acorn squash, and it remains a big hit at Thanksgiving every year. You are welcome to these recipes.
Come join with me as we share and appreciate the last of the season's bounty before earth's quiet hibernation.

text: Maybe if the reader is applying a ridiculously politically-partisan filter. There is one sentence that could be construed as pointing to personal politics, in a Glenn Beck dog-whistle kind of way: "Quinn heralded Ebert's passion for education, social justice and working-people's rights." Those concerns point exclusively to lefties, apparently? And the fact that a lot of Democratic politicians showed up at a funeral for a prominent Chicagoan is hardly surprising given the political makeup of the city. The article was reporting the events of the funeral, not taking an editorial position so there is really no comparison to the political axes being ground in this thread. Much less irony.

Slightly Ahead of Its TimePaul Baker - Bakers Jazz and More
Here's a medium tempo, straight-eighth solo feature in separate arrangements for alto sax, tenor sax or trumpet/flugelhorn. Appropriate modifications to the ensemble parts in each chart have been made so that all players have a part to play. The title is derived from the solo melody which is constantly pushing ahead by an eighth note, thereby being "slightly ahead" of the time. Written solos and solo fills are provided, but an improvised solo is easily accomplished by using the concert B-flat major scale. Optionally, the ending can be extended and the soloist only has to use a concert D-flat major scale to be successful. Slightly Ahead of Its Time provides a nice contemporary setting to feature the soloist while giving the ensemble plenty of melodic supporting material.

My kids are older and I decided to take up "buying fabric" with the intention of making beautiful things. I have lots of quilting tools not a long arm. I think maybe I should learn to use my sewing machine to practice quilting. I tend to get distracted by fabric stores and sales especially during this season. For piecing and quilting I have an inexpensive brother quilting and sewing machine. I enjoy reading and learning from your posts. I have made a crib size quilt-nine patch, and table runners using the log cabin block. This quilting board is wonderful thanks to all os you who participate. Thank you, what a wonderful resource. I have quite a bit of learning and practicing to do both in using this forum and quilting. Merry Christmas and have fun quilting this holiday season. Donna

EHV-1 Outbreak: Case Total Holding Steady
- May 24, 2011
- Topics:
Horse owners in the western United States and Canada remain on alert for neurologic equine herpesvirus-1 (EHV-1). The outbreak--which is believed to have originated from horses that attended the April 29-May 8 National Cutting Horse Association's (NCHA) Western National Championship competition in Ogden, Utah--has caused the cancellation or postponement of numerous equestrian events throughout the Western states.
A statement released late yesterday (May 23) by the NCHA indicated that all NCHA-approved competitions this upcoming weekend (May 27-29) have been canceled, in addition to the NCHA/American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA) Weekend (a grassroots cutting "celebration" held annually). The latter event was scheduled for June 3-5 at 25 locations around the United States.
The AQHA also made the decision to lower the number of qualifying points horses need to amass for inclusion in the Adequan Select World Championship Show (scheduled for Aug. 28-Sept. 3 in Amarillo, Texas), according to a statement on the organization's website. The decision, made by the AQHA Executive Committee, came after "several show managers ... either voluntarily canceled or are considering cancelation of their shows this weekend, and some exhibitors have expressed their reluctance to move their horses out of concern of potentially exposing them to EHV-1."
The concern is not limited to the cutting and Quarter Horse communities, however, as two eventing facilities released press releases in regards to upcoming competitions on the United States Eventing Association's website. A nationally recognized horse trial in Montana slated to take place May 27-28 was rescheduled to July for precautionary measures, and another nationally recognized horse trial taking place in California this weekend has implemented numerous biosecurity measures: For example, horse health certificates issued within 72 hours of arriving on show grounds must be presented, and all horses will undergo a veterinary health inspection upon arrival.
Although it's not transmissible to humans, EHV-1 is highly contagious among horses and camelids, and is generally passed from horse to horse via aerosol transmission (when affected animals sneeze/cough) and contact with nasal secretions. The disease can cause a variety of ailments in equines, including rhinopneumonitis (a respiratory disease usually found in young horses), abortion in broodmares, and myeloencephalopathy (EHM, the neurologic form). Myeloencephalopathy is characterized by fever, ataxia (incoordination), weakness or paralysis of the hind limbs, and incontinence.
At press time, only two states had reported updated information regarding the EHV-1 cases:
Washington - The Washington Department of Agriculture noted today in a statement that no new positive cases were reported, leaving the total at six confirmed cases. The horses with confirmed cases are located in the following counties: Thurston in Western Washington, Spokane in Eastern Washington, Chelan in Central Washington, and Asotin and Whitman in Southeast Washington. Two of the confirmed cases (both located at Washington State University's Veterinary Teaching Hospital) were only febrile, and it is not known if the remainder of the confirmed cases displayed neurologic signs.
A press release received today from the Texas Animal Health Commission (TAHC) noted that, "Currently, there are still 25 known horses in Texas that attended the event and 336 cohorts stablemates ... currently being held under movement restrictions. The single confirmed case which was a horse from New Mexico that sought treatment in a veterinary clinic in Texas is now recovering. The horse returned to its original premises of origin. The single suspect(ed) case that was reported May 19 from Jack County tested negative for EHV-1, however was euthanized due to the severity of (an) unrelated illness. TAHC continues to evaluate other unrelated horses with clinical signs, but no additional cases have been confirmed at this time."
No New Cases
No new confirmed cases of EHV-1 were reported in Colorado today, according to a statement from the Department of Agriculture. The total stands at nine confirmed cases and 22 suspected cases.
At press time, there was no new information from the California Department of Food and Agriculture. A statement issued yesterday indicated that there were 18 confirmed cases in the state, of which seven displayed neurologic clinical signs. Similarly, at press time, no new cases had been reported in Idaho or Oregon, leaving their totals at one and three, respectively.
Arizona and New Mexico remain at one confirmed case each, according to the regulatory bodies in each state. Both horses were euthanized after each displayed neurologic signs.
Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, South Dakota, and Wyoming (all of which are home to horses that competed at the NCHA competition) remain free of confirmed EHV-1 cases.

Thousands of Texas doctors, researchers and medical experts — including more than 100 who are employed by the state and are paid with taxpayer dollars — routinely supplement their salaries with income from pharmaceutical companies.
Drug companies pay medical professionals for a wide range of activities, from speaking engagements to consulting. While legal, the practice raises questions about potential conflicts, and whether the interests of patients may be compromised.
From 2009 to early 2011, at least 25,000 Texas physicians and researchers received a combined $57 million — and probably far more — in cash payments, research money, free meals, travel and other perks, according to data culled from 12 drug companies and provided by the nonprofit investigative news organization ProPublica.
Dozens of these medical professionals were paid more than $100,000 each during that period. And 114 were professors, physicians, psychiatrists or researchers who were already paid a salary by the state — in some cases more than a half-million dollars a year. These state employees brought in nearly $3 million combined from pharmaceutical companies from 2009 to early 2011, according to a Texas Tribune analysis of the ProPublica data.
Nationwide, pharmaceutical manufacturers routinely pay medical professionals to assess a new product or to help contribute to the drug company's sales. The companies fly medical professionals to seminars and conferences and may also pay speaking fees. State-employed doctors and researchers are generally no exception, though they are supposed to comply with their individual institutions' conflict-of-interest policies….

A bone mineral density (BMD) test measures how much calcium and other types of minerals are in an area of your bone.
This test helps your health care provider detect osteoporosis and predict your risk of bone fractures.
BMD test; Bone density test; Bone densitometry; DEXA scan; DXA; Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry; p-DEXA
Bone density testing can be done several different ways.
The most common and accurate way uses a dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan. It uses low-dose x-rays. You receive more radiation with a chest x-ray.
There are two different types of DEXA scans:
If you are or could be pregnant, tell your health care provider before this test is done.
The scan is painless. You will need to remain still during the test.
Bone mineral density (BMD) tests are used to:
You should have bone mineral testing or screening if you have an increased risk for osteoporosis. You are more likely to get osteoporosis if you are:
Women under age 65 and men ages 50 - 70 are at increased risk for osteoporosis if they have:
The results of your test are usually reported as a "T score" and "Z score."
In either score, a negative number means you have thinner bones than the standard. The more negative the number, the higher your risk of a bone fracture.
A T score is within the normal range if it is -1.0 or above.
Bone mineral density testing does not diagnose fractures. However, along with other risk factors you may have, it helps predict your risk of having a bone fracture in the future. Your doctor will help you understand the results.
Treatment recommendations depend on your total fracture risk.
Bone mineral density uses a little bit of radiation. But most experts feel that the risk is very low compared with the benefits of spotting osteoporosis before you break a bone.
Simple bone density scans using portable machines may be available as part of health fairs or screenings. These portable scanners may check the density of your wrist or heel. However, keep in mind that hip and spine scans are more reliable.

CANYON — Canyon will wonder what might have been.
Frenship will march on in the playoffs with sweet memories from a fourth-quarter flurry of points.
With this Class 4A Division II bidistrict game hanging in the balance and 10 minutes to play, Frenship blew this one wide open, scoring three touchdowns in just more than four minutes.
Helped out by two Canyon miscues, Frenship turned those 21 points into a 45-23 4A playoff victory Friday night at Kimbrough Memorial Stadium.
"We challenged our guys at the half," said Frenship coach Brad Davis, his team clinging to a 21-16 lead after two quarters. "And I thought we were able to establish the run there in the second half. But it was a game until those turnovers. Canyon is right there battling with us until we got that cushion."
Despite trailing at halftime, Canyon had snagged the momentum of this physical game when receiver Graeson Cook did some magical work getting his left foot inbounds on a 9-yard scoring pass from Blake Weaver with 41 seconds remaining in the half.
"I was fully confident we were going to come out in the second half and get it done." said Canyon coach Blake Bryant.
Said Cook: "We had a lot of momentum and planning on a comeback. Some things just didn't go our way. They are a good team and that's life sometimes."
Frenship scored the only points of the third quarter on a Josh Sparkman 28-yard field goal taking a 24-16 lead.
District 4-4A champion Frenship then put this one away in the fourth quarter when on three scoring drives it would run off 21 offensive plays compared to Canyon's two.
Frenship took the lead 31-16 with 9:29 to play when fullback and standout linebacker Stephen Smith scored on a 1-yard run.
But the biggest backbreaking play for Canyon arrived during the drive on a 2nd-and-10 from the Eagles 39-yard line. Fresnhip quarterback Trevor Lloyd, a calming influence on Frenship throughout, tossed a swing pass to fullback Bryndan Arredondo.
Canyon's defender almost intercepted the pass, but Arredondo found the sideline and broke a tackle moving 29 yards to the Canyon 10 setting up the TD. The 29 yards receiving was five more than Frenship had the entire game to that point.
"It was great," Arredondo said of the play call. "That dude, I thought he was about to take out my legs and I was like alright be ready for it. I got as low as I could and happened to truck him and get some more yards."
Canyon was far from dead down 31-16.
"I was not comfortable up 15," Davis said. "Canyon is a fast track offense and that quarterback (Weaver) is a heck of a football player." Weaver saw his second pass after the Frenship touchdown intercepted by a diving Chandler Casey. Casey's pick set up a six-play Frenship scoring drive.
With the lead now at 38-16, Canyon fumbled the kickoff and Frenship took three plays to go 27 yards for the 45-16 lead.
"I'm proud of our kids just wish we would have given ourselves a better chance there in the second half," Bryant said.
Frenship produced 307 yards rushing and was led by the running of D'Maujeric Tucker, who carried 27 times for 197 yards. Tucker opened Frenship's scoring with a 45-yard TD run less than four minutes into the game.
Canyon quarterback Weaver was a thorn in Frenship's defense all game throwing for 238 yards and three touchdowns, while running for a team-high 80 yards.
Canyon wide receiver Thomas Garland also was impressive grabbing five passes for 119 yards and scoring late on a 61-yard pass.
"Canyon has a heck of team," Davis said. "We are thrilled with this one."

This Austin band could've played it safe and followed up last year's acclaimed Girls Can Tell with more of that album's hooky, guitar-driven pop-rock, but instead their fourth album finds them experimenting with different instrumentation, innovative arrangements and a more stripped-down sound. While the band's using more keyboards and studio effects, the lean sound gives the instrumentation more breathing room. Best of all, they've crafted some memorable songs that work perfectly with their more minimalist approach. 8/15/2002 - Don Yates

Ughh Leo needs to stop trying to make Jose look bad
Ughh Leo needs to stop trying to make Jose look bad
Kyle Lowry is trying to prove a point tonight or something? And DeRozan earlier practicing with Fields and Payton paying his off the ball movement is looking nice.
Rudy had great halftime, for sure.
JV 14/11 already. Love it.
Man Gay is making me chuckle
Yeah I don't miss Jose
Demar is taking way too many long 2's
Also, Jonas's one-on-one post defense is also pretty damn fantastic. He really knows how to contest a shot well and use his length.
His help defense (especially on pick and rolls) is what needs to be worked on.
Are starting 5 is legit! The only two players I want to see back from the bench are Ross and Fields
That quarter was acceptable.
Good game tonight, haven't enjoyed a good Raptor game in 2 weeks
Fields with the harvard education lol
A little bit of JV on my mind a little bit of Ross would be alright ... (#sax solo)
According to the stat sheets ... apparently so ...
Lowry two str8 games with 10+ assist
I don't think Brandon Knight is going to last very long in this league.
Man Knight is having a bad luck Brian year.... poor kid lol

Konerko, White Sox stay together with new deal
Team captain ends free agency, agreeing to three-year contract
By Scott Merkin / MLB.com
And what was the White Sox captain's initial reaction?
"My first thought was, 'OK, that was a fun 12 years. That's it. It was an either him-or-me situation,'" said Konerko with a laugh during a lunch-time conference call Wednesday to announce his official return to the White Sox with a three-year, $37.5 million deal.
Konerko, who turns 35 in March, will receive $12 million in 2011 and '12 and $13.5 million in '13. Of that $13.5 million, Konerko will receive $6.5 million in '13 and the remaining $7 million will be deferred -- $1 million per year from 2014-20.
Although the man known as "King" was fully expected to continue his South Side reign in Chicago to what will total a nice round 15 years, this deal looked to have hit a major snag on Tuesday evening. White Sox general manager Ken Williams told the media how his level of optimism wasn't nearly as high as when he arrived in Florida for Major League Baseball's Winter Meetings with the No. 1 target of bringing back Konerko.
Williams even spoke of moving on to Plan B. That pessimism quickly turned positive after Williams left the Chicago media contingent, with a deal being arrived at later that evening.
"Again, we had a consistent dialogue throughout the entire time," said Williams. "But I wouldn't say that things really started to come together until after I left our press conference yesterday. And we had one more meeting headed by Rick Hahn just prior to dinner, and things just finished up over dinner and sushi -- good sushi."
"It's one of those things that if yesterday was a bad day as far as the White Sox were concerned, I'm probably not wearing the uniform this season," Konerko said.
Going through this free-agent process is not new to Konerko. Actually, the veteran first baseman should write a primer on how to handle walk-away years as a Major Leaguer. Konerko hit .283 with 40 home runs and 100 RBIs during the 2005 season, helping the White Sox win a World Series title. He then rejoined the team through a five-year, $60 million deal, shortly after the White Sox traded for left-handed slugger Jim Thome.
While the scenario played out very similarly this time around, with Dunn's free agency replacing Thome's trade, Konerko said it was very different.
"Last time, we were in contact with the White Sox from early on in November, and other teams as well," Konerko said. "Things were much steadier, and numbers and offers were coming in much earlier the last time -- almost at the conclusion of the World Series.
"This time around, the month of November was just a kind of feeling-out process -- talking to a bunch of teams -- and in the last four or five days, that's where everything came in. It became more of a mad rush. It heated up much later, but much faster."
White Sox chairman Jerry Reinsdorf, as loyal of an employer as they come, let alone professional sports owners, holds a special bond with both Konerko and catcher A.J. Pierzynski, the fellow free agent who returned via a two-year, $8 million deal last week. Reinsdorf had two talks with Craig Landis, Konerko's representative, but the heavy lifting in the deal was left to Hahn and Landis.
In the end, everyone got what they wanted.
Both Konerko the player -- who hit .312 with 39 home runs and 111 RBIs in 2010 -- and Konerko the classy and even-keel leader were wanted back. White Sox fans didn't want to lose their heart and soul of the franchise for the past 12 years.
Despite preparing himself for a potential departure since the end of the 2009 season, Konerko wanted to return. He turned down overtures from the D-backs, where Konerko makes his home in Arizona, to stay in Chicago.
"If that were ultimately his choice and he decided to stay home and took even less money to stay home, I would have not begrudged him one bit," Williams said. "I would be saying the same positive things about who he is and what he's all about that I am today."
"My goal was to come back when my last contract expired," Konerko said. "That would give me 10 years-plus with one team, and I thought that was really cool, not to mention a chance to win while you're doing it. Now to sit there and say it's going to be 15, that's a nice round number, that's intriguing as well. I was prepared and had options to do other things. You've got to take all the steps necessary if it goes to the free-agent process, and I think I did a pretty good job of that."
As for the Dunn news interrupting his vacation, Konerko quickly recalled an end-of-the-season talk with Williams giving him hope for staying in Chicago.
"When you're going through a situation like this, it kind of wears on you day in and day out," said Konerko. "It would have been closure to that saga and then I could have moved on.
"Then I remembered Kenny telling me at the end of the year, 'Listen, if we go after this next year, we want to win it. I don't want you or Adam, I want both of you.' That was in my mind as well, where I was able to say, 'OK, maybe they will make a push to get both of us.'"
Landis put forth a simple question to the White Sox on the day of the Dunn signing: Are they still interested in Konerko? The White Sox said yes then and made it official one week later.

Otis man carving out new, satisfying career
OTIS -- In a few short years, Ken Packie went from being an overworked telecom technician to becoming a world champion chainsaw sculptor.
Today, with sweeps of the blade he can turn a hunk of wood into the fluid likeness of say, an owl or a fox -- all in about a day.
If you live in South County, chances are you've encountered his work; Packie said in Otis alone, where he lives, there are probably "two or three hundred" of his lively wildlife wood carvings.
"The majority of my pieces end up within 20 miles of here," he said, sitting on the deck of his small wood-framed home. "But it's really starting to stretch out. I'm starting to get calls from the Adirondacks and Vermont."
Packie's bread and butter are these kinds of commissions, but the work that's winning him international acclaim gets done at competitions. At the World Cup in Mulda, Germany last month, his team took first place for its life-size piece depicting a fifth century knight on a horse. And this month, he competed in the Canadian Nationals, where he took fifth place. (In the latter case, he explains -- without a hint of bitterness -- that a cracked log prevented him from reaching his full potential.)
Packie capped off those successes on Friday with the opening of a joint show with John Stanmeyer, a well-known photographer for Time Magazine and National Geographic who also runs a gallery in an airy barn behind his home in Otis.
Stanmeyer said he was drawn to the level of detail and lifelike realism Packie builds into his work. Stanmeyer, whose exhibition examines trees and how they move, said he also appreciates that Packie only uses recycled logs that would otherwise be left to rot.
"That he can bring new life out of these essentially dead things -- it's amazing," Stanmeyer said.
The story of Packie's rise is unlikely. Before he got into carving wood with chainsaws, he says he had no background in art. Instead, he was employed as a technician, managing fiber-optic networks for communications firms.
At a log home show in 2005 he came across a man demonstrating chainsaw-sculpting techniques. Packie said something just clicked in his head and when he got home he immediately sought out a sculptor who taught classes.
Packie took to it, and three years later, he decided he was ready to go pro.
"My wife said, 'If you don't try, you never know.' So I dropped the day job," he said.
When Packie started, he said he point-blank refused to carve bears -- boxy, rough-hewn creations that proliferate at second-rate craft shows and serve as most people's introduction to the world of chainsaw sculpting.
"I said, 'Really? Does the world need anymore of those?' " he said, describing a conversation with Jeff Samudosky, who served as his mentor.
Samudosky eventually was able to convince Packie that, yes, the world could use a few more wood-carved bears because that's what people like to buy.
"They said, 'If you're going to do this full time, you have to carve bears -- they'll be your bread and butter,' " Packie said, adding that Samudosky assured him the figures would not compromise his integrity, especially if Packie imparted them with the same fluid realism he was achieving in his other work.
In fact, a carved bear is part of Packie's current exhibition at Stanmeyer's gallery, but like all of his other pieces, the bear is alive, and in this case, is pondering a dragonfly situated just below it.
Other pieces resemble totem poles that include story-telling elements that depict, for example, squirrels harassing a fox. In another, a wolf pup nuzzles its mother.
Packie is proud of how far he's come, but he said his first year carving full time was stressful. He worked more hours than he ever had before and his income was unpredictable. At the same time, he said he was happier than ever and can't imagine falling back into his old day job.
He credits his family and the town of Otis as a whole for making his success a reality. From his wife and kids willingness to cut back during those tough first years to the town's highway department, which drops off brush and logs they clear from roadsides.
"I always say it takes a village to raise a carver," Packie said.

I not happy with the dual compound tires I have been using on my 2010 RT. They wear quickly and in no time change the tire profile enough to change the handling of the bike.
I met a RT rider recently who was using Z6's on a 2009 RT and has had great wear and no major profile change other than some flatting in the center. This is the second report I have gotten from rider's on these tires.
My questions are are the Z6's single compund tires and what is the difference between the Z6 Roadtec and the Z6 Roadtec Interact ?
Any feedback would be helpful.
