Rams v Owls FA Cup Report
Pride Park
Attendance: 20,612
Rams get out of Jail in Cup
The Rams came back from two goals down and get out of jail, to earn an FA Cup third-round replay against Sheffield Wednesday after a 2-2 draw at Pride Park.
The Championship side went two up in 23 minutes but the Rams gave them both goals. Firstly Mark Beevers' speculative shot squirmed under Lewis Price and Marcus Tudgay pounced on Darren Moore's poor header.
Kenny Miller pulled one back with a delightful control and finish, before Giles Barnes drew them level with a controlled left-foot volley just before the break. The Rams dominated the second half but the Owls held on for the draw and face a replay on Tuesday week at Hillsborough.
Paul Jewell brought back Andy Todd from injury to partner Moore in the centre of defence in place of Claude Davis and new signing Danny Mills made his debut for the Rams replacing the injured Jay McEveley.
Wednesday made three changes to their starting line up from last time out with Ettienne Esajas, Francis Jeffers and former Ram Marcus Tudgay replacing Yoann Folly, Akpo Sodje and another former Ram Deon Burton.
Both sides have been struggling in their respective leagues so it wasn`t going to be a classic and it turn out that way. The Owls opened well, quickly closing down the Rams and it forced them into mistakes and they were caught in possession on a number of occasions.
Wednesday`s early endeavour was rewarded on eight minutes with the lead, but they were given a helping hand from young keeper Price. Beevers' speculative effort from 20-yards somehow squeezed under the Welsh international keeper and bobbled over the line.
It was a huge gaffe from Price but it was matched by his team mate Moore 15 minutes later as the Owls doubled their lead. The big defender misjudged his backward header, leaving former Ram Tudgay to latch on to the loose ball and clinically fire past Lewis from close-range.
The small Pride Park crowd were stunned, but the 5,000 Owls supporters were in full voice. Jewell was like a lion prowling around his technical area and he was forced into an early change when Tyrone Mears came off injured, replace by Michael Johnson. The Rams veteran who has been on-loan at Hillsborough was given a huge ovation from the travelling supporters as well as the home faithful.
The Rams settled and began to get into the game Miller crossed to Craig Fagan on the half hour but he somehow missed from close-range. Miller then went close twice in quick succession, former Rams keeper Lee Grant saving well from his second effort.
But Miller was rewarded for his enterprise, reducing the lead in the 37th minute. Fagan's chipped cross from the right found the Scottish international striker who controlled the ball on his chest and drilled a low shot past Grant.
The Rams were dominating now and two minutes from half-time, they were level after more dreadful defending, this time from the Owls. Wednesday were at six`s and sevens when Fagan`s corner found the unmarked Moore at the back post, he nodded back to Barnes who`s half volley through a crowd of players hit the back of the net, much to the relief of the Rams supporters
Buoyed by the comeback the Rams opened the second half well and went close early. Teale broke down the right channel and found Eddie Lewis but the American delayed his shot and the chance was gone.
Tudgay was a constant threat, and he went close to giving the Owls back the lead. He was found at the far post by Glenn Whelan`s cross, but Price made up for first half error to deny him
Barnes` long-range strike was deflected wide on the hour and Mills` deep cross found Johnson whose header flew inches past the post.
It was a typical cup-tie now with chances at both ends; first Esajas` free-kick shaved the post for the Owls, and for the Rams Miller was denied by a superb reflex save from Grant.
Fagan then had the ball in the back of the net for the Rams but he had already been pulled back for offside, then Wednesday had an effort of their own ruled out eight minutes from time, Burton poking home Esajas's deflected shot, but once again the flag was up for offside.
The Rams pressed late but it came to nothing meaning the Rams will travel to South Yorkshire on January 15 for the replay.

Rams boss Paul Jewell
'A month ago we would have lost that game heavily, but we showed good character to come back,' assessed Jewell.
'We made the usual basic errors, but I am taking the positives out of the game.
'The situation we're in at the moment, we have to take any crumb of comfort we can, and a 2-2 draw with a team near the bottom of the Championship, on reflection, is not a great thing.
'But we were 2-0 down and staring down a barrel, so I'm pleased we're still in the hat, and pleased we've come back from a goal down which we've not done since I've been here.'
Opponent Rating
Laws was angry not to wrap up the win after seeing his side let slip the two-goal lead.
'It's an opportunity missed,' said Laws.
'Away from home against a Premier League side, we found ourselves 2-0 up courtesy of a gift and a bit of luck. We looked in a very comfortable position.
'So of both managers, if you're 2-0 up, who is going to be the most disappointed? I'm afraid I am.'

Recently a friend said to me, "Jillian, you're not afraid of anything." To which I replied, "Oh, I'm afraid of a lot of things. But I've got courage, and I've got it in spades."
I'm in my late forties (a BA50 wannabe), happy, healthy, fit, and pretty smart. A few years ago I became restless, and my day to day life (mom, friend, wife) began to shift. A strong streak of independence and wanting to do something big started to emerge, and I ran with it!
This year I created, and then launched, my own business. I'm now the CEO and Founder of Bloom Enjoy Yourself, a sophisticated online space that encourages women and their partners to embrace and celebrate their sexuality. My target audience is women over 40 – the generation that grew up not learning or talking much about sex, and with a lot of misconceptions about its place in our lives!
The name Bloom represents the idea that at this point in our lives we should be blooming, not drying up like little leaves and blowing away into sexless obscurity!
Stephen Covey said "The best way to predict your future is to create it." I believe it. Something about this time in my life brought me to my tipping point, and over I went. I began to create my future.
A passion becomes reality
Bloom's mission is to change the way women think about and talk about sex.
Positioned to become the "go to" place for reliable, expert information about women's sexual health and wellness, Bloom is a rich, growing community. The website has five main components:
- Sex 101: Expert sexual health and wellness information on a variety of topics written by sexual health experts, including Sex Therapists, Sexologists, and Relationship Counselors.
- News, Tips and Trends: Magazine-style articles with intriguing ideas.
- Shop: Our curated collection of luxury sex toys.
- House of Bloom: Our newly launched membership component offering member pricing and access to exclusive information.
- Ask An Expert: Members of Bloom's community can call in and speak to our resident Sex Therapist about questions around sexuality.
My vision for Bloom Enjoy Yourself centers on creating a holistic virtual gathering place where women can enhance their lives, learn and "bloom." I continue to search far and wide for the best sexual health information from top experts and to bring this to Bloom for our community to enjoy.
With our curated collection of luxury sex toys, that are as beautiful as they are well-engineered, Bloom is also serving a niche in the luxury sex toy market that also promotes wellness.
I'm very proud of what Bloom has become and where it's going.
Our focus is education and pleasure
We've recently added a brilliant sex toy reviewer to Bloom's team, Dahlia After Dark, and have compiled a list of our top recommendations. Have a peek!
Lelo's Luna Beads – they're fabulous for both sexual health and sexual pleasure. Health: they're great for strengthening Kegel muscles which leads to better bladder control as we age. Sexually: stronger Kegels = stronger orgasms and more muscle control during penetration
nJoy Pure Wand – this is a wonderful toy for solo or couples play. It's curved and weighty and hits the G-Spot perfectly. Love heat? Warm it under hot water. Love it cool? Put it in the freezer!
Lelo's Soraya – every girl needs a great dual vibrator in her collection, accomplishing clitoral and G-Spot orgasm in unison can be explosive! The Soraya is luxurious and very well made by the brilliant designers at Lelo. There are tons of good dual vibrators on the market, but why go with good when you can have great?
Lelo's Gigi– this lovely product from the brilliant creators at Lelo is said to be the world's best selling G-Spot vibrator. It's certainly one of our best sellers at Bloom! A G-Spot orgasm can be such a pleasurable experience for women, and having the right vibrator (or personal skills) to get you there is essential!
Jimmyjane Pocket – another absolute staple for the smart girl on the go! This little pocket rocket packs a surprisingly big punch and is aptly named – it can tuck into your pocket, slip into your purse, or nestle discreetly in your cosmetic bag.
Hitachi Magic Wand – I don't want to sound repetitive, but the Hitachi Magic Wand is another must have staple for any collection. It's been around for decades, and hasn't changed much at all. It might not be pretty, but this substantial vibrator will deliver most every time!
Lelo's Lyla 2 – this beautiful toy is so much fun for couples, and is incredibly erotic. Worn internally by the woman, and revved up or down by a remote control held by her partner, the Lyla 2 may not always deliver an orgasm, but here's what it does do…. And this is almost just as fun: the constant internal hum combined with the fun of a shared naughty secret in public places will keep you feeling very aroused and on the edge of orgasm. It's a huge turn on for both parties!
So as you enter your midlife, remember: this is your time to bloom! Never be afraid to find your passion, muster up a healthy dose of courage, and take the first step to doing something big. Life is short – make the most of it!

Sousa: Trundle and Beattie Can Play Together
Paulo Sousa praised Trundle's involvement in yesterday's 1-1 draw against Watford and he believes he can form a good partnership with Craig Beattie.
The fans' favourite came on as a late substitute to play just behind Beattie and we looked more threatening on goal as we looked for an equaliser - which we eventually got thanks to Tate's late header.
Sousa told Wales Online that he's confident both players can play together and score goals:
"Lee was a legend here and I see no reason why he cannot get us goals here again,"
"He brings a lot of enthusiasm. He is very strong in and around the box and we believe in these difficult moments he can help us.
"It`s not just to bring the fans to the stadium he needs to do something while he is here with us. He has not played so much recently and it is going to take time.
"But he had a chance to score in this game. He made the right decision to try and head it, but it just went wide.
"Craig is used to playing with another striker so it will take him time to adapt to our style of play. I believe he and Lee can play together and that is something we will use."

Brenda Lee trots out all the hits
By MICHAEL LISI
Special to the Times Union
SCHENECTADY … There's no arguing over the fact that Brenda Lee's version of "Rockin'
Around the Christmas Tree" is an all-time Christmas classic, a definitive yuletide smash.
But Lee was more than just a Christmas one-hit wonder.
In 1964, "Little Miss Dynamite" cut an entire album of Christmas faves. Called "Merry
Christmas From Brenda Lee," the album included versions of "Winter Wonderland," "Santa
Claus Is Coming to Town" and, of course, "Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree."
Lee sang those songs and dusted off the hits during an enjoyable Sunday afternoon
performance at Proctors that left a crowd of about 1,600 on their feet clapping and shouting
for more.
At 62, Lee is still as sassy and bubbly as ever. She comfortably chatted with the crowd in
a friendly Southern drawl, like she's known each and every fan in the audience for years.
Sporting a teased blonde hairdo, the diminutive singer … she's all of 4 feet 9 inches tall …
talked about her past and her family and cracked one too many slightly off-color jokes.
"Some things never change," said Lee. "I'm still short, I've still got big hair, I'm 62
and I'm sure glad to be with you this afternoon."
Sure, Lee's performance was hokey at times, coming off like a Vegas lounge act sans the
glitz and smarminess. But Lee was nothing if sincere; she sang a solid, off-the-cuff version
of "Bigelow 6-200" after a fan shouted out the request. The guitarist in her seven-piece
band was the only one who knew the song.
Lee's show, billed as a Christmas concert, was more like a greatest-hits show with some
Christmas songs thrown in for good measure. She was more than halfway through her performance
before she hit the holiday stuff, starting with a cheesy medley featuring "Sleigh Ride" and
"Happy Holidays."
Her voice was strong and sure on a jazzy reading of "Jingle Bells" and a nice version
of "Winter Wonderland." She plucked four fans out of the crowd, put them in Santa hats and
made them sing "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town." Lee's charm and sincerity made it work.
A member of the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame, Lee showed she still had a bit of grit left
in her voice. She turned in swinging versions of "Sweet Nothin's," "Jambalaya" and "Dum
Dum" and wowed fans with a too-short rendition of "I'm Sorry" that won her a standing
ovation. Not surprisingly, she closed with a bouncy version of "Rockin' Around the Christmas
Tree" that had fans singing and clapping along.
Brenda Lee was fun at Proctors on Sunday afternoon.
Dr. Elmo turned in a corny, tedious 30-minute solo opening performance that led up to his
smash "Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer." Warbling slightly off-key throughout his set,
Dr. Elmo was no more adept on guitar and banjo. You couldn't help but cringe as he stumbled
through Bach's "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" on banjo, waiting for him to fumble and fail.
Michael Lisi is a freelance music critic from Rotterdam and a frequent contributor to the
Times Union.
BRENDA LEE with Dr. Elmo
* When: 4 p.m. Sunday
* Where: Proctors, 432 State St., Schenectady
* Length: Lee, 75 minutes; Dr. Elmo, 30 minutes
* The Crowd: About 1,600 people, most of them nicely dressed couples in their 50s, 60s and
70s, out to relive some memories and enjoy some early Christmas spirit
* Highlights: "I'm Sorry," "Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree."

If the Guauntlet fits, you must admit .... it's time for Thanos!

Re: If the Guauntlet fits, you must admit .... it's time for Thanos!

1. Thanos is The Avenger's greatest threat (that Marvel owns the film rights to

2. Loki's scepter could contain the Mind Gem, "He who put the scepter in your hand." Remember Loki did just fine with his own spear in Thor and it had no blue gem in it to speak of. Assuming it was the Mind Gem, we will likely see the rest of the gems in future films. But there does not seem to be enough films in Phase 2 to introduce them all.
3. Joss Whedon states, "By being smaller. More personal, more painful. By being the next thing that should happen to these characters, and not just a rehash of what seemed to work the first time." Thanos is not smaller than Loki and his army. Nor is he more personal.
4. Ant-Man is several years away from Avengers 3. To tease or setup Ultron in Ant-Man (2015) will lose most of its spark by the time we see Ultron in A3.
5. Remaining baddies (other than Ultron and Thanos) include MoE, Kang, Korvac and several others that don't quite have the impact of Thanos, let alone greater impact.
If Avengers 2 was more conclusive, I'd say hell yea bring Thanos on and thrill us all. But since we already know Phase 3 exists, I believe the Mad Titan will bide his time until Avengers 3.
....except movie franchises aren't set up on an escalating threat scale.
Movies aren't video games. It doesn't go "Level 1 Boss," "Level 2 Boss," "Level 3 Boss," etc. Instead, it's about compelling storytelling and interesting characters. It's perfectly acceptable for the Avengers to fight Thanos in one film, and Paste-Pot Pete in the next, as long as the story is interesting and compelling.
They move like slick cotton on oil.

Fulham - Hodgson on Bolton Win!
I bet Roy Hodgson had a smile on his face as the team headed back to London from Bolton yesterday.
To finally bury that away day hoodoo with such an emphatic win was something to behold.
Speaking after the clash at his customary post-match interview, Roy couldn`t hide his delight, explaining,
'There's a sense of relief, and of pride. I thought we played very well today.'
'We dealt with Bolton's long-ball game reasonably well and restricted their chances to an absolute minimum, and then our passing play created chances and we converted three of them."
'We conceded a goal in first-half injury time and that could have been a fatal blow to our confidence, but the players took it in their stride.'
'You've got to earn the right to play your football but, when you do get the ball, there's no need for you necessarily to play the ball long. You can play it through the midfield and that's what we tried to do today.'
And, may I add, we looked a class better than them at times!

In utero folic acid supplementation may protect offspring from colorectal cancerApril 14th, 2008 - 4:18 pm ICT by admin
Washington , Apr 14 (ANI): A new study by researchers at University of Toronto , has discovered that in utero or prenatal supplementation of folic acid may protect offspring from developing colorectal cancer.
It is known that folic acid supplementation results in lowering the rates of neural tube defects and some childhood cancers, but too much folic acid may increase ones risk of developing colorectal cancer as well.
This study provides important insights into the critical role of timing of folic acid intervention in colorectal cancer development and progression. Folic acid may prevent new cancers in the colorectum, said Karen K. Sie, a graduate medical student at the University of Toronto .
In an earlier research it was shown that folic acid supplementation could promote the progression of the earliest precursor to colorectal cancer.
In the current study, the researchers placed female rats on a control diet or folic acid supplemented diet three weeks prior to breeding, and they stayed on this diet throughout pregnancy and lactation. The male pups from each group were then fed a control or folic acid supplemented diet at weaning.
After five to six weeks, the pups were injected with a colorectal cancer causing chemical, and, at 34 weeks, researchers measured tumour incidence, multiplicity and burden as well as plasma folate, homocysteine and liver folate concentrations.
It was discovered that pups from mothers on the control diet had almost a three-fold increased risk of developing colorectal cancer compared with those from rats on folic acid supplementation.
While maternal folic acid supplementation significantly decreased the risk of offspring developing colorectal cancer, postnatal folic acid supplementation had no significant effect on the incidence of tumour development.
With the continuing debate and controversy surrounding mandatory folic acid fortification and supplementation, it is critical to determine safe and effective doses and timing of folic acid intervention for colorectal cancer prevention, said Sie. (ANI)

Men are like.....Mascara.

Subject: the gynecologist
A gynecologist had become fed up with malpractice insurance and was on the verge if being burned out. Hoping to try another career where skillful hands would be beneficial, she decided to change careers and become an auto mechanic.
She found out from the local technical college what was involved,
signed up for evening classes, attended diligently, and learned all
she could.
When the time for the practical exam approached, the gynecologist prepared carefully for weeks, and completed the exam with tremendous skill.
When the results came back, she was surprised to find that she had received a score of 150%.
Fearing an error, she called the instructor, saying "I don't want to
appear ungrateful for such an outstanding result, but I wondered if there had been an error which needed adjusting."
The instructor said, "During the exam, you took the engine apart
perfectly, which was worth 50% of the total mark. You put the engine back together again perfectly, which is also worth 50% of the mark." The instructor went on to say, " I gave you an extra 50% because you did all of it through the muffler."
These are from my fave site The Darwin Awards- People who do unbelievably stupid things and usually end up paying the ultimate price-
From 2002
(July 2002, Romania) Forget posted train schedules! Like an American Indian listening for horses in an old Western, a Romanian man placed his ear against the tracks to listen for the arrival of a train scheduled to stop at his station. Instead, the 46-year-old man was hit by an express train, and died instantly from head trauma
(July 2002) This story was told at a symposium dinner, by two Austrian pathologists who work together in Germany. A deceased male was brought to them for a post mortem. He had suffered severe head trauma. According to police reports, the man wanted to see how a German World War II hand grenade was constructed. His curiosity led him to clamp the grenade in a vise, and cut a thin band around the center with a circular saw, so that he would be able to crack open the two halves. Unfortunately, the man cut a little too deep, and detonated the grenade. The pathologists stated that the man had very little brain material when he was brought to them; however, they were not sure if that was a result of the explosion!
(1 January 2002, Brazil) Russian Roulette has always been a breeding ground for natural selection, but the men involved in this story deserve extra consideration for their unique approach to this self-destructive game.
On New Years Eve, Antonio and his friend were befogged by a traditional Brazilian liquor called pinga, when they began playing Russian roulette with holiday fireworks. Their version of the game consisted of lighting fireworks, and holding them in their mouths to see who could delay longest. The man who discarded the explosive closest to the point of detonation was the victor in this battle of wills.
Their blatant disregard for personal safety was matched only by their foolish bravery. Antonio was the winner, holding one of the fireworks in his mouth a bit too long, and thereby earning praise for his "courage" at his funeral
(7 March 2002, Colorado) When Gerald was pulled over by police for erratic driving, he decided it was better to flee from the stolen car on foot, rather than face possible jail time for a parole violation. This was the first of two successive mental lapses. Geralds actual thoughts are unknown, but *may* have been something like this: "The officers are only suspicious and alert now... Ill make them hot, sweaty, tired, and angry by leading them on a wild chase through dark alleys and fields."
During the subsequent foot chase, Gerald attempted to dissuade officers from the pursuit by firing a 9mm Ruger semiautomatic handgun blindly over his shoulder. This was the second illustration of a potential mental deficiency. "Officers are running behind me. They have guns. I have a gun! They have eyes in the front of their heads, so they can see to aim at me. I don't have eyes in the back of my head, so Ill fire wildly behind me and see what happens!"
Unfortunately, Gerald appears to have been one of those folks who can't chew gum and walk at the same time. Or at least he couldnt flee and fire at the same time. While discharging the weapon over his shoulder, Gerald managed to shoot himself in the head with his own gun, bringing the chase to a sudden conclusion.
Four shots were fired, none by the officers, who found Gerald's pistol next to his fallen body. Gerald was transported to a local hospital where he expired the following day, thus removing a set of genes deficient in both judgment and coordination from the gene pool.
A man asked God how long a million years was to Him. God answered, "Like a minute." A man asked God how much a million dollars was to Him. God answered, "Like a penny." The man thought and then asked, "God, will you give me a penny?. God replied, "In a minute."

Slight edge goes to Red Sox
But Cards are best they've seen so far
Credit: Christopher Evans
They've charted parallel courses all season, and on Wednesday night the two best teams in baseball will open the World Series at Fenway Park.
The Red Sox and St. Louis Cardinals paced their respective leagues with 97 wins apiece, but the similarities don't stop there. In many ways, the clubs are mirror images, and if the Red Sox are to prevail, they'll need to play even better than they did against the Tampa bay Rays and Detroit Tigers, because the Cardinals are every bit their equal.

Pak opener Kamran Akmal may be axed over poor wicket keeping, batting in WCApril 1st, 2011 - 1:25 pm ICT by ANI
Islamabad, April 1(ANI): Pakistan wicketkeeper Kamran Akmal may have played his last international match at the 2011 World Cup semi-final against India in Mohali, as he is likely to be axed over his poor performance in the crucial game.
A reliable source close to the national selection committee was quoted as saying that the selectors had decided before the match that if the 29-year-old failed to perform in the semi-final match, they would start looking for his replacement.
"The fact is that the selectors had decided before the World Cup that Kamran would no longer be playing Test matches. But they had backed him to perform in the tournament so that he could be considered for limited over cricket," the Daily Times quoted the source, as saying.
According to the source, if Kamran had played well in the critical Indo-Pak match, he would have remained in contention to continue playing limited-over cricket despite having performed badly in earlier World Cup matches.
"However, according to what the selectors have decided, his Pakistan career is virtually over as they are not happy with either his keeping or batting at this level," the source said.
"For a player who has been around since 2002, their appears to be no consistency or improvement in his keeping or batting and the selectors now believe it is time to find a replacement for him and move on," the source added.Kamran has played 53 Tests, 137 ODIs and 38 Twenty20 internationals so far, but in recent times, his wayward wicket keeping abilities and inconsistent batting has disappointed the selectors as well as his fans.
The source said that the selectors would definitely not be picking Kamran for the forthcoming tour to the West Indies for either format of the game.
"The selectors will rely on Adnan Akmal and Sarfaraz Ahmed for the West Indies tour," the source added.
Kamran's repeated follies behind the stumps- including some vital dropped catches- have cost Pakistan a lot. Not only his keeping against India in the semi-final was untidy, he scored just 19 runs opening the Pakistan innings. (ANI)

Yesterday the folks at DHS Infrastructure Security Compliance Division (ISCD) updated the response to one of their Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) on the CFATS Knowledge Center page. There is no mention of the change in the Latest News section of the page, but given the type of update made, that is probably reasonable.
FAQ # 1281 (originally published in January 2008) asks: "What are the requirements to be a reviewer?" and the answer provides a link to the CSAT Users Registration Manual. The revision to the response simply corrects a bad link to that manual. The earlier link (actually - https://csat.dhs.gov/xlibrary/assets/,danaINFO=www.dhs.gov+chemsec_csatuserregismanual.pdf#page=39) took one to a virtual extranet log-in screen, not the manual. The new link is actually what is printed on the page and it does take you directly to the manual.
This error dates back to at least November 2010.

Baz Luhrmann Looks To DiCaprio For 'Great Gatsby' Remake
- By
- 41 Comments
Ever since Baz Luhrmann announced his plans to do a remake of F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel, The Great Gatsby, there's been tons of speculation on how he'll choose to tell the story and how the roles will be casted. Most importantly, which two actors will Luhrmann choose to play the male leads, Nick Carraway and Jay Gatsby.
There's been some buzz about Luhrmann bringing back actors he's collaborated with in the past to help tell the epic story of Jay Gatsby and his long lost love, Daisy Buchannan. However, Luhrmann says he's not currently focusing on casting, but rather the overall direction of the film. If he is casting from a pool of actors he's worked with before, though, there's a chance that Leonardo DiCaprio may be brought in to play the film's narrator, Nick Carraway.
If this is the case, casting DiCaprio to be the film's driving force instead of the tragic antagonist, Jay Gatsby, would be sort of strange. The 1974 version of The Great Gatsby used film great Robert Redford to play Gatsby. DiCaprio has the same sort of presence, acting abilities and looks to make an already sympathetic character beloved once again for a new generation.
Luhrmann has also said that he's currently focusing on the relevance of the story in today's current economic climate. Luhrmann revealed to MTV News:
"It's a great story," he said. "A great iconic story and if you think about it, it truly reveals the time we're in. It might explain a bit of what we've been through. If you reread it now you'll see how powerful and meaningful it is in this time."
Regardless of who Luhrmann casts in the film, one thing's for sure: Luhrmann will do (IMO) what he does best and create a film that pays homage to a period in time, while still upholding the integrity of the story's initial intent. Let's hope this actually happens. Most of the time when a classic story is adapted for film the intent of the author is sacrificed in order to create a box office smash.
What's your take on Baz Luhrmann directing The Great Gatsby? Do you think Leonardo DiCaprio would make a better Gatsby, Carraway, or neither? Let us know in the comments!

The media is definitely to blame for it, and I take them to task. But before I could do that, I had to firmly establish that Eckstein was at best a slightly below average player.

And any player can have a great five game series. Heck, Yadier Molina had an even more riduclous 2 week stretch this postseason. But Molina is not a good hitter; in Ben Valentinehttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221516.post-1162231754562610292006-10-30T13:09:00.000-05:002006-10-30T13:09:00.000-05:00Ben always puts things better than I can as well.B...Ben always puts things better than I can as well.

Buuuuuut. I think the venom is directed in the wrong place. It should be towards the Media for making Eck out to be such a "hardworker" and the "littlest big man".

If he WAS such an awful player...how did he dominate one of the best pitching staffs in the league in Detroit?AwfulAnnouncinghttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221516.post-1162231249908105782006-10-30T13:00:00.000-05:002006-10-30T13:00:00.000-05:00i can understand your point to some degree, but no...i can understand your point to some degree, but no amount of championships will make eckstein into a good player, much less an above-average one.

Popoff, Martin
Rush-The Illustrated History (Book Review)
December 2013
Released: 2013, Voyageur Press
Rating: 5.0/5
Reviewer: JP
Man, Voyageur Press and Popoff are a deadly combination of professionalism and productivity. Starting with the publisher Voyageur, this is now the sixth in their series following books on AC/DC, Aerosmith, Iron Maiden, Led Zeppelin and Queen, with a title on Metallica on the way! I've lost count but I think this is Popoff's 40th-something book in 20 years…a pace of two a year…not bad! This is his second book on Rush and these three forces (Popoff, Rush, Voyageur) are a natural, unassisted, hat-trick.
I've reviewed the AC/DC title, the Aerosmith title and Maiden title in this series and in one sense this is almost a non-review. The pattern has been established by the extremely high quality of the publisher, and by the army of talented rock scribes who bring the stories to life. If you are familiar with any of the other titles in the series, the quality control is still 100%. I'm a big Rush fan (like many of us), Popoff is one of (if not my fave) rock scribbler and as mentioned Voyaguer spares no expense to make these bombers beautiful, therefore I'm way biased already without even having cracked the cover.
For arguments sake let's go through the motions of the review. Hard cover. Big. Bold. Beautiful. Top-notch layout and design. Full-colour. Hundreds of photos of Rush the band, the singles, the tickets, the tour shirts, the rarities. Geddy's satin bellbottoms. Alex's skinny ties. Album-by album-review by big name dudes like Bukszpan, Daniels and Wagner. Running commentary via Popoff. Interviews. Quotes. Index. Discography. Bibliography. Contributors biographies. No stone left unturned. 192 pages of awesome. All this and the only know picture in existence of Neil Peart smiling.
Mandatory. Essential. Popoff+Rush+Voyageur make this the easiest purchase decision of the year and perhaps (?) the best book on Rush to date.

Strontium supplement pills for osteoporosis, benefits and side effects, review by
Ray Sahelian, M.D.
October 17 2016
Lately strontium supplements have been marketed as a treatment for osteoporosis. Are they effective for osteoporosis prevention or treatment? Are strontium supplements an alternative to calcium and vitamin D? As of 2016, I do not know if strontium supplements offer benefits to bone health not obtained by calcium, vitamin D, and exercise. We need more research to have a better understanding of the role of this mineral in health and disease and to determine the long term benefits and risks and whether it is safe when combined with standard osteoporosis natural treatments.
Could you please give your opinion / comments on using strontium to treat
osteoporosis? It is used in Europe, but not in the US. I am interested in: how
much to take, how to take it, how long to take it?
A. These are all good questions but there have not been enough long term studies with strontium citrate supplement and therefore it may be a good idea to limit the use of this mineral to a few times a week until more research is available.
Strontium and bone mineral density
Strontium ranelate has been shown to stimulate bone formation while inhibiting bone resorption. Strontium is used in the treatment of osteoporosis as a ranelate compound, and in the treatment of painful scattered bone metastases as isotope. Treatment with strontium ranelate safely reduces the risk of vertebral and nonvertebral fractures in older women with osteoporosis. In vitro, strontium ranelate increases collagen and non-collagenic proteins synthesis by mature osteoblast enriched cells. Strontium ranelate appears to be an effective treatment of vertebral and non-vertebral osteoporosis, however long term risks are not fully known. But are strontium supplements better than calcium and vitamin D as a treatment for osteoporosis? It appears that strontium supplements are effective for increasing bone strength but it is not clear whether they offer any advantages over calcium and vitamin D and whether all three supplements can be combined, and if so, what the appropriate dosages would be.
J Reprod Med. 2013. Effect of strontium ranelate on serum leptin and bone turnover markers in women with established postmenopausal osteoporosis. Our data supports a positive effect of leptin on bone metabolism in favor of bone resorption inhibition in postmenopausal osteoporotic women on strontium treatment.
Efficacy of
strontium ranelate for the mineralization of bone in postmenopausal women
Ginecol Obstet Mex. 2009; Basurto L, Zárate A, Córdova N, Saucedo R. Unidad de Investigación Médica en Enfermedades Endocrinas, Diabetes y Metabolismo, Centro Médico Nacional, Instituto Mexicano Seguro Social, México, DF.
Most medication used for the treatment of osteoporosis are antiresorptive; however strontium therapy in postmenopausal women has shown a double effect on resorption and bone formation. To evaluate the effect of strontium on bone mineral density (BMD) and circulating biochemical markers of bone turnover in postmenopausal women who had a decreased BMD. A prospective study was carried out in 23 postmenopausal women who had decreased BMD, who received daily strontium orally by night during 12 months. Evaluation of bone mineral density at lumbar spine and hip as well as biochemical markers in blood for bone turnover before and during therapy. BMD at the spine and hip increased significantly after 12 months of treatment. Bone turnover markers showed a decrement of osteocalcin, by contrast the specific alkaline phosphatase increased after 6 months of therapy; however C-terminal telopeptide of type 1 collagen was not modified. Strontium ranelate increased significantly BMD at the spine and at the hip in postmenopausal women and simultaneously improved bone turnover estimated by circulating bone markers.
No difference between strontium ranelate and calcium / vitamin D on bone turnover markers in women with established osteoporosis previously treated with teriparatide: a randomized controlled trial.
Clin Endocrinol (Oxf). 2008. Anastasilakis AD, Goulis DG, Polyzos SA, Efstathiadou Z, Kita M, Avramidis A. Department of Endocrinology, Hippocration General Hospital, Thessaloniki, Greece.
To evaluate the effect of strontium ranelate on bone turnover markers in women with established osteoporosis previously treated with teriparatide (TPTD - recombinant human parathyroid hormone 1-34). Twenty-two postmenopausal Caucasian women with established osteoporosis previously treated with TPTD 20 mug daily for 18 months were randomly assigned to receive either strontium ranelate or calcium and vitamin D (control group). Measurements: Blood samples for serum N-terminal propeptide of type 1 collagen (P1NP), C-terminal telopeptide of type 1 collagen (CTx) and total alkaline phosphatase were obtained from all women before (pre-TPTD) and after (post-TPTD) TPTD administration, as well as six months after strontium ranelate or calcium / vitamin D administration (post-SR/Ca). Results: Serum P1NP, CTx and total ALP increased significantly after TPTD treatment and decreased at the end of the study in both strontium ranelate and control groups, with no difference between them. Strontium ranelate following TPTD administration acts predominantly as an anti-resorptive agent with no evidence of additional osteoanabolic action. In this setting, strontium ranelate is not more effective than Calcium / vitamin D as far as bone turnover markers are concerned.
Long-term strontium ranelate treatment reduces the risk of nonvertebral and vertebral fractures in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis when given over a 5 year period. Dr. Jean-Yves Reginster, from the University of Liege, gave strontium ranelate to 4935 postmenopausal women with osteoporosis participating in the Treatment of Peripheral Osteoporosis Study. The risk of new nonvertebral osteoporotic fractures over 5 years was 15% lower in the strontium group than in the placebo group. Strontium significantly reduced the risk of new major nonvertebral osteoporotic fractures (by 18%) and hip fractures (by 43%), as well as the risk of vertebral fractures (by 24%). Dr. Jean-Yves Reginster is currently doing an 8-year open label extension study, and also a study for osteoporosis in males. Arthritis Rheum 2008.
Since some
studies have shown that excess calcium intake through supplementation may
increase the risk for heart attacks, wouldn't then be more prudent to take
strontium than it would calcium?
Even less is known about the long term effects of strontium supplementation than of calcium.
Strontium and spinal osteoarthritis pain
Strontium ranelate may help with back pain in women with osteoporosis and osteoarthritis of the spine. Dr. Olivier Bruyere from University of Liege, Belgium reviewed the effects of 3 years treatment with strontium ranelate on the clinical and structural progression of spinal osteoarthritis in 1105 women. About half of the women received strontium ranelate and 539 had received placebo. The proportion of women with worsening overall spinal osteoarthritis symptoms was reduced by 42 percent in the strontium ranelate group relative to the placebo group. More women in the strontium ranelate group saw improvement in back pain after 3 years compared with placebo. There were no significant between-group differences in health-related quality of life, however. The study was supported by a research grant from French pharmaceutical company Servier, which manufactures strontium ranelate. Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases, March 2008.
Comments: I do not know if strontium citrate would be more, less, or as effective as strontium ranelate.
Strontium side effects, danger, safety
At very high doses and in certain conditions, strontium can lead to side effects such as osteomalacia characterized by impairment of bone mineralization. The osteomalacia symptoms resemble those of hypophosphatasia, a rare inherited disorder associated with mutations in the gene encoding for tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP). Human alkaline phosphatases have four metal binding sites-two for zinc, one for magnesium, and one for calcium ion-that can be substituted by strontium.
BMJ Open. 2014. A comparison of adverse event and fracture efficacy data for strontium ranelate in regulatory documents and the publication record. Recently, the European Medicines Agency reported that strontium ranelate increases myocardial infarction risk in postmenopausal women, 8.5 years after it was registered for use in osteoporosis. Unreported serious adverse events in clinical trials for other pharmaceuticals have been described in recent years. We assessed reporting of adverse events and fracture efficacy of strontium. We compared data on adverse effects (myocardial infarction, venous thromboembolism and pulmonary embolism) and fracture efficacy of strontium in publicly available regulatory documents with data in publications retrieved from searching PubMed. Based on all available data from primary publications and regulatory documents, the number of fractures prevented by strontium use is similar to the number of extra cases of venous thromboembolism, pulmonary embolism and myocardial infarction caused by strontium use. The risks of strontium use are similar to the benefits. Full disclosure of the clinical trial data and regulatory documents would allow clinicians and their patients to decide whether use of the drug is worthwhile.
More than 15 cases of DRESS syndrome (drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms) have been reported in Europe, including 2 deaths related to strontium ranelate, prompting European health authorities in 2011 to publish a warning concerning the risk of strontium ranelate-induced DRESS. Whether the citrate form has the same risk is difficult to know at this time.
Prescrire Int. 2013. Strontium ranelate for osteoporosis in men. More dangerous than beneficial. Increasingly numerous and potentially serious adverse effects have been reported since market release. There was no preventive effect on symptomatic fractures in a trial with 261 men.
Ann Rheum Dis. 2014. Use of strontium ranelate and risk of acute coronary syndrome: cohort study. Data of antiosteoporotic drug users do not support a significant association between use of strontium ranelate and acute coronary syndrome.
Strontium research studies
ranelate reduces the risk of vertebral and nonvertebral fractures in women
eighty years of age and older.
J Bone Miner Res. 2006.
Strontium ranelate produces an early and sustained reduction of both vertebral and nonvertebral fractures in patients greater than 80 years of age. The aim of this study was to determine whether strontium ranelate, an agent that reduces the risk of vertebral and nonvertebral fractures in postmenopausal women greater than 50 years of age, also reduces fractures in the elderly.
Where is it found?
Strontium is a chemical element in the periodic table that has the symbol Sr and the atomic number 38. An alkaline earth metal, it is a soft silver-white or yellowish metallic element that is highly reactive chemically. The metal turns yellow when exposed to air. Strontium occurs naturally in the minerals celestite and strontianite. The 90Sr isotope is present in radioactive fallout and has a half-life of 28.90 years. Due to its extreme reactivity to air, this element occurs naturally only in compounds with other elements, as in the minerals strontianite, celestite, etc. Strontium is isolated as a yellowish metal and is somewhat malleable. Strontium is chiefly employed (as in the nitrate) to color pyrotechnic flames red.
Q. Since you
had an article on osteoporosis in your newsletter today, I thought I'd write and
alert you about a strontium product I've been taking for the last year or so,
which you may want to research. It's certainly less expensive than Fosamax and
probably less dangerous. There is also some concern that
Fosamax builds more
brittle bone than is natural, which doesn't seem to be the case with strontium.
Anyway, if it works, there are a lot of people who could benefit by it. The
strontium product is Doctor's Best, Strontium Bone Maker, 340 mg, 60 VCap.
Description: Strontium is a naturally occurring mineral present in water and
food. Trace amounts of strontium are found in the human skeleton. Strontium has
an affinity for bone and is taken up at the bone matrix crystal surface. The
influence of strontium on the bone metabolism has been researched since the
1950's. Studies indicate that strontium positively effects bone metabolism to
promote bone formation and decrease bone resorption, leading to normalized bone
density. Strontium helps maintain strong, healthy bones.
A. I have not seen any long term human studies with strontium and therefore cannot be certain whether the benefits of strontium supplementation outweigh the potential risks of strontium overdose or toxicity since ideal strontium supplement doses are not known at this time.
Q. My
girlfriend (age 51) was diagnosed with early stages of osteoporosis (no
fractures). Recently she heard about Protelos (strontium ranelate)
manufactured by French manufacturer Servier). Apparently Protelos recently
received market approval in the Europe Union, but it is not yet available in the
U.S. pending FDA approval. From the Protelos research I can't find any downsides
to it. I searched the internet and found a study, " Strontium Ranelate Produces
Stable Bone in Patients With Osteoporosis," by Linda Little. Strontium ranelate
is one of the first drugs to have a dual action that both decreases bone
resorption and increases bone formation, according to a study presented here at
the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR) 27th annual meeting.
"Strontium ranelate decreased bone resportion and increased formation," said
Pierre D. Delmas, MD, PhD, a professor of medicine and rheumatology at the
University Claude Bernard in Lyon, France, during a press conference. "There was
a decrease in osteoclasts and an increase in osteoblasts."
I was hoping to find a company that would export it, but so far have turned up blank on that account. My question to you is if you have heard any downside? I did read your page on Osteoporosis which we for the most part already knew.
A. I have not seen any long term human studies with strontium and therefore cannot be certain whether the benefits of strontium supplementation outweigh the potential risks of strontium overdose or toxicity since ideal strontium supplement doses are not known at this time. As it happens too often in the medical and nutritional industry, a product is marketed for long term use without fully realizing all the upsides and downsides.
Q. Are there
any other supplements that should not be taken on the days that I take Eyesight
Rx? My supplements are all food-based, except strontium 350 mgs that I take for
building bone.
A. We have not had feedback from those who take the combination of strontium and Eyesight Rx. We do not suspect strontium supplement would interfere with the effects of Eyesight Rx.
Not wanting
to use Fosomax for osteopenia I have used strontium supplement 680mg daily for 3
years. With diet, exercise and strontium pills I have seen a 50% improvement in
my dexa scan results after 2 years. Recently I was diagnosed with atrial
fibrillation in the ER. Since this has been a sudden onset I am wondering if you
feel the strontium supplement could have played a roll. I never drink alcohol,
have never smoked, avoid all caffeine and OTC stimulants as I have MVP.
This is a good question. I am not aware of any long term human studies with strontium mineral and therefore I do not know what the long term benefits and side effects of strontium supplement use would be. One option is to stop the strontium to see if the atrial fibrillation is improved. Much of the long term benefits and risks of supplement use is still not clearly understood.
Can strontium
effect the esophagus as other osteoporosis medications can? I have been taking
Doctor's Best Strontium Bone Maker for about 1 year. I take two per day. By the
way, I am 73 years old and do have osteoporosis. My last bond density showed an
increase in bone mass (since taking the strontium. My concern is how long can I
continue taking it and at what dosage? Should I reduce my intake to 1 capsule
only a few times a week instead of two daily? I my readings, I have found
different suggestions regarding what time of day to take it. I have continued my
calcium and magnesium and vitamin D3 as well. Also, are there any side effects I
should be looking for?
Unlikely since this mineral works in a different way than the medications used for osteoporosis. These are all good questions but there have not been enough long term human studies to give us such answers as to long term safety, proper dosage, and relation to other mineral and supplement intake.
I recall
reading some time ago that strontium pills should not be taken at the same time
as calcium pills because they compete for deposition in bone, bbetter to take
them at different times of the day, unfortunately I don't remember the source
for this bit of info.
I have not seen such studies, so I can't say whether it is better to take them together or separately.

All logging services use a log entry ID generator service to generate unique IDs for each logging entry type. This component uses a database table (
dps_logging_id_counter) to keep track of current log entry IDs. These ids are generated in batches for each ATG server to minimize the amount of database contention. The batch size can be configured through the logging service's
idBurnFactor property. The default value is 100, but servers that are in a production environment might want to increase this value (e.g. to 1000) depending on load.

A youngster from south east Northumberland has signed up to take on the Junior Great North Run this September to raise money for charity.
Ten-year-old Dylan Marshall from Lynemouth, has been battling Larsen syndrome, a condition that affects the development of the bones, since he was just 14-months-old and has had several procedures to try and treat the condition.
In the last 18 months, Dylan has made amazing improvements and can now walk short distances with a walking frame.
He has now decided to take on the challenging Junior Great North Run wheelchair race to fundraise for the Sick Children's Trust, which helped his parents Victoria and David stay in nearby accommodation when Dylan was in hospital.
Victoria said "The Sick Children's Trust has been our lifeline throughout Dylan's illness. Our longest stay has been seven months and in that time the charity's Crawford House in Newcastle became a second home to us.
"The accommodation enabled us to always be there for Dylan but also gave us the opportunity to get some rest away from the busy wards."

Ralph Lauren started his spring show with a black and white story: preppy by way of school girl, somewhere between a wholesome Wednesday Addams and a grown-up Sally Draper. Impeccably clean lines, classic Ralph body consciousness, a balance between modesty and a hint of cheek with crisp white collars and knee socks, there was an innocence and a lightness to the pieces without sacrificing sophistication. As he ventured into color and pattern it became clear that the collection was a uniquely American take on '60s pop and mod. The green was a Roy Litchenstein green (with one kiwi touch in the final looks), the orange was neon supermarket citrus, the blues and reds were as bright and primary as new Forth of July banners. The black and white story continued with matching pattern-on-pattern pop art flower prints, stripes, checks and other takes on swinging post-Kennedy American fashion. The patent accessories fit perfectly with the story, as did the oversize, retro-fututuristic eyewear and newsboy caps somewhere between Edie Sedgwick and Marlo Thomas as "That Girl." The take on '60s menswear for women included three piece suits and ultra-wide ties that haven't been seen in mainstream menswear since the '60s. When it came time for gowns Lauren was in his element: Ruffled shoulders giving way to slightly flamenco flared A-line bottoms (only slightly flamenco: the collection was very much an American story) and his usual mastery of construction. The showstopper was the red column with built-in cape: a shoo-in for red carpet season. Even when looking to a decade that has saturated the fashion lexicon for the past five years, Lauren brought his own voice to the era.
Marc Jacobs is known for elaborate productions in his shows at the Armory, and this year was no exception. An apocalyptic beach setting (sweltering hot, leading some in the audience to wonder aloud if the temperature was part of the mood) with set pieces as obvious as massively oversize Adirondack chairs, a broken-down bus, ruined piers and as detailed as dirty sand and cigarette butts on the runway, set the scene for the Victorian ruffled necklines, heavy period skirts (beautiful in their own right but not an obvious choice for spring) and overall glowering presentation that started with the theme music to "Jaws" and was aided by nature with a fierce thunderstorm before the show. The bleached, beach chopped hair on the models and Russo by way of the Imperial Military coats, knee-length shorts (one of the few obvious nods to spring in the collection), gorgeous, full-length Edwardian dowager dresses and somber palette of dried maroon, brown, muddy navy and not quite emerald or exactly jade green gave the collection a kind of solemnity that left many curious as to the deeper meaning behind the concept. Whatever the confusion, Jacobs did start the show strictly on the dot at 8:00 p.m., a new tradition for the designer after years of legendary delays. The heavy floral prints, beading and tassels all had a touch of decay and wreckage, reflecting the set. Perhaps it was a reference to the post Hurricane Sandy diaspora of the once-vibrant Russian community of Brighton Beach? At the 20-year anniversary of his groundbreaking Perry Ellis grunge collection, Jacobs again dared not to give-in to commercial expectations with a collection that was pretty for the sake of pretty. Maybe in another 20 years we'll be able to evaluate it more clearly in the proper context of our times. One thing that can always be said for Jacobs is that he's not afraid to challenge his audience with a high concept, even if it leaves them with more questions than answers.
