February 21, 2018, 7:52 pmMarcus ThorntonSG, Cleveland Cavaliers
Marcus Thornton will sign a 10-day contract with the Cavs.
Thornton expects to play a depth role for the team. He is stuck behind a number of other guard options in Cleveland so he doesn't expect to get much time unless there is an injury. Leave him on the waiver wire unless he sees solid minutes.

September 14, 2019, 7:27 pmGiannis AntetokounmpoPF, Milwaukee Bucks
In a recent fan question session Bucks' GM Jon Horst hinted towards signing Giannis Antetokounmpo to a supermax extension when eligible.
Horst mentioned that he cannot technically discuss an extension until he is eligible, but said Antetokounmpo will be a Buck for a long time. The Greek Freak will be eligible next summer and is all but sure to get a supermax extension.

September 14, 2019, 2:53 pmTacko FallC, Boston Celtics
Tacko Fall (mild knee sprain) is expected to miss one week after a collision in workouts.
With training camp two weeks away, Fall should be ready to roll by then. He is currently on an Exhibit 10 contract, battling for the final roster spot with Javonte Green (partially guaranteed) and Kaiser Gates (Exhibit 10). Fall is an intriguing talent at 7'7" but is not expected to be fantasy relevant in his first season even if he does make the team with the Celtics already carrying four center eligible players on guaranteed contracts.

September 14, 2019, 12:14 pmNicolas BatumSG, Charlotte Hornets
According to Rick Bonnell of the Charlotte Observer, Nicolas Batum and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist have been informed that, "The agenda is youth and development."
The article adds that both players will have a chance to compete for minutes but the Hornets' top priority will be to develop their younger players which bodes well for Dwayne Bacon, Miles Bridges, Devonte Graham, P.J. Washington and Willy Hernangomez. Miles was already putting up near top-100 value to close the season at around 25 minutes per game while the rest of the players could all produce fantasy value if given the minutes so they should at least be put on the watch list to see how the preseason plays out.

September 14, 2019, 10:26 amBogdan BogdanovicSG, Sacramento Kings
Bogdan Bogdanovic finished with 32 points on 10-of-17 shooting and drained seven triples as Serbia topped Czech Republic 90-81 to finish in 5th place.
Bogdanovic also added four rebounds, three assists, two steals and a block and was certainly one of the most impressive players in the tournament. Although he has the talent to be a successful full-time starter, the 27-year old will likely be relegated to a similar 25-27 minute, off-the-bench role he played last season with Buddy Hield, Harrison Barnes and newly added Trevor Ariza also on the wings. Nikola Jokic also did his usual thing this game with seven points, 14 rebounds and seven assists. Boban Marjanovic and Nemanja Bejlica were not really involved in this one, playing only two and eight minutes, respectively.

September 14, 2019, 7:40 amDonovan MitchellSG, Utah Jazz
Donovan Mitchell scored 16 points with 10 assists as US beat Poland 87-74 on Saturday to finish seventh place in the tournament.
Mitchell was an efficient 5-of-6 from the field and 4-of-4 from downtown but the bigger story of course was USA's disappointing showing as this was only the second time that they finished outside the top-3 in the FIBA World Cup since 1978. Kemba Walker (neck), Jayson Tatum (ankle) and Marcus Smart (hand/quad/calf) all sat out the final game as they now have two weeks to rest before the start of training camp.

September 13, 2019, 12:54 pmEvan FournierSF, Orlando Magic
Evan Fournier scored 16 points to lead France in their semifinal loss to Argentina by the score of 80-66.
This was a really poor showing all around in an elimination game by the French team. Fournier scored an inefficient 16 and was joined by Frank Ntilikina's 16 as two of just three French players in double figures.
September 13, 2019, 12:51 pmRudy GobertC, Utah Jazz
Rudy Gobert was invisible in France's loss to Argentina in the semifinals of the FIBA World Cup, scoring just three points and pulling down 11 rebounds in 29 minutes.
This just wasn't enough from Gobert, who couldn't impose his will against a weaker Argentina squad on paper. Joining him in the "forgot there was a game" club was Nicolas Batum, who consistently finds a way to do nothing in heavy minutes. Batum's line in this one was a paltry three points (1-of-6 shooting), five boards, one assist and a block.
September 13, 2019, 12:42 pmPatty MillsPG, San Antonio Spurs
Patty Mills was the star for Australia, scoring 34 points and hitting four triples against Spain, but Australia fell in double overtime 95-88.
Mills did as much as he could but he just didn't get enough help from his supporting cast. Joe Ingles couldn't find the basket and only had four points (to go along with 10 rebounds and seven assists). With that off night of shooting from Ingles, the Aussies needed someone like Matthew Dellavedova (six points) or Aron Baynes (six points) to step up.
September 13, 2019, 12:39 pmRicky RubioPG, Phoenix Suns
Ricky Rubio approached a triple-double in the semi-final win over Australia with 19 points, seven boards and 12 assists in 38 minutes.
It was another big line for Rubio in the semis, who has been a stalwart for this Spanish run to the finals. He was inefficient from the field (6-of-19) but ran the offense well and should be a factor again in the final game.
September 13, 2019, 12:35 pmMarc GasolC, Toronto Raptors
Marc Gasol carried Spain to the FIBA World Cup Final in a double-OT win over Australia, finishing with 33 points, six rebounds and four assists.
Gasol had a great outing to lift Spain here and they should have a great shot at winning the title against Argentina. We'll see how this high workload summer affects him going into the new season.

|iTRAX Launches, Offering HD Audio Downloads in 5.1 and Stereo Mixes
|Tuesday, 20 November 2007
Waldrep, Ph.D., the man behind the only all-HD Audio label AIX Records
announces the launch of iTrax.com, the world's first digital music
download service to offer REAL HD Audio in multiple mixing perspectives.
According to Waldrep, "iTrax.com is a sort of an iTunes for people that care about sound quality, surround music and don't want to be restricted in the use of the music they download. This new web site allows music lovers, home theater owners and surround music fans to access music that has actually been recorded, mixed and mastered in high-definition – most 'so-called' HD Audio downloads are really standard definition tracks delivered through the web. iTrax.com delivers better than CD quality digital downloads for the first time, without copying restrictions…and in 5.1 surround." Each track offered on the site is available in a wide variety of encoding formats AND up to three different mixes. Consumers will be able to choose between MP3, Dolby Digital, DTS, WMA Pro, WMA Lossless and even uncompressed PCM at 96 kHz/24-bits. They can also select what sort of mix they want, an exclusive feature of the new site. iTrax offers 2.0 stereo, 5.1 "stage" and 5.1 "audience" perspective mixes, making it the first and only download service to provide users real choice.
The arrival of media servers and high-quality remote digital music players makes the HD Audio tracks offered by iTrax.com the perfect source media. The experience of listening to and demoing a REAL HD Audio "stage" surround track makes standard stereo CDs pale by comparison.
A wide variety of musical genres and artists are available on iTrax.com including Willie Nelson, Albert Lee, Wallace Roney, John Gorka, Cheryl Bentyne, Hanna-McEuen, Paul Williams and Laurence Juber, whose award-winning Guitar Noir won the Demmy Award for "Best High Resolution, 5.1 Track" from the CEA in 2005.
iTrax.com is the only web site to offer REAL HD Surround Music Downloads and a choice of mixing perspectives. The award-winning AIX Records catalog is available now with other labels coming soon.

It's hard to get enough of chicken wings, especially in the summer, and especially when there's some major sporting event on. For as long as I can remember I've followed the Olympics religiously. Swimming, track, gymnastics, tennis, diving, you name it. I'll follow prelims as well as finals and ooh and aah over all the heartwarming background stories of athletes I had never heard of two weeks prior.
(And being in Beijing for the 2008 games, in the center of all the action, was such a fun experience!)
This time around I'm watching everything from my couch in Brooklyn. And for watching any kind of sports action from your couch, spicy chicken wings is practically a must-have. It's an easy and filling appetizer or, depending on portion size, full on-dinner. And they're downright delicious.
These Sriracha garlic wings can be made with common pantry ingredients. If you don't have Sriracha chili sauce on hand, you can definitely substitute any regular chili sauce. The key is a long marinating time (at least 3 hours, or overnight) for the spiciness to seep into the chicken. Before you're ready for dinner in front of the TV, just pop the wings into the oven for about half an hour.
And I recommend having some good beer on hand to wash these wings down.
Sriracha Garlic Wings
Serves 4
- 3 pounds chicken wings, tips removed and wings and drummettes separated
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup Sriracha
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 scallion, green parts chopped or thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup chopped peanuts (optional)
- Marinate the wings: In a large bowl, combine the garlic, Sriracha, ketchup, soy sauce, honey and sesame oil. Place the wings and drummettes in a gallon freezer bag and pour the marinade over the chicken. Seal and shake the bag so the wings are coated with marinade. Let sit for at least 3 hours, or overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place the wings on baking sheets lined with foil or parchment paper. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the wings are golden brown and crispy around the edges. Transfer to a plate, sprinkle over with the scallions and chopped peanuts (if using), and serve.

For the longest time, one had to assign an article by Mukul Kesavan – "Urdu, Awadh and the Tawaif, the Islamicate Roots of Hindi Cinema" – to go with a screening of Umrao Jaan, Mughal-e-Azam, or even Jodhaa Akbar. We now have what seems like a terrific book-length study of Islamicate influences – language, poetry, music, and so on – that have shaped Bombay cinema for several decades.
The blurb informs us that Ira Bhaskar and Richard Allen argue that "it is in the three genre forms of The Muslim Historical, The Muslim Courtesan Film and The Muslim Social that these cultures are concentrated and distilled into precise iconographic, performative and narrative idioms."

Persimmon Tart Recipe
We started the week with one persimmon dessert (persimmon pie with Brazil nut crumb topping), so it seems fitting to end it with another. This tart makes use of the firm variety of persimmons called Fuyu. They have a slightly softer texture than an apple, but still with a pleasant snap.
The preparation requires almost no effort! Scalloped-edge rounds of puff pastry are spread with a thin layer of French crème de marrons (chestnuts, sugar and vanilla beans) to mark the holiday season. The finishing touch is arranging sliced persimmons into a pretty flower shape dotted with little mounds of butter and a sprinkle of turbinado sugar and pistachio.
Yields: 4 servings4 (5 x 5") squares puff pastry dough, thawed
1 (3.5-ounce) tin chestnut spread
4 Fuyu persimmons
2 tablespoons turbinado sugar (or regular granulated sugar)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cold and finely chopped
3 tablespoons apricot preserves, warm
8 roasted pistachio kernels, finely crushed
Forming the pastry shells:
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Using 3"-diameter scalloped-edge cookie cutters, cut the puff pastry dough into rounds. Reserve the remnants for another dish.
Place the 8 puff pastry pieces onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Prick the dough using a fork 3-4 times to let some of the steam out as they bake.
Assembly time:
Place chestnut spread in the center of each tart rounds. Even out the layer using a spatula.
Remove the stems of the persimmons. Peel (if needed) and cut in half. Thinly slice the halves lengthwise. Spread the persimmon slices into a pretty design onto the puff pastry. Dot the top with little mounds of butter and sprinkle with sugar.
Bake for 18-20 minutes. The texture of the puff pastry should be very flaky.
Remove from the oven, brush with a thin layer of apricot preserves and add a sprinkle of crushed pistachios.
Allow to cool for at least 15 minutes.
Serve with a cup of unsweetened green tea.
Bon appétit!
I like eating the skin of Fuyu persimmon but if you want it a little smoother, remove it before baking.
You can make this fresh fruit tart with any other fruits such as apricots, figs or pears depending on the season.
Our local market carries chestnut purée but you can also find it online.

PORTSMOUTH — The internationally acclaimed author John Irving will take the stage on Friday, Feb. 1, in the celebrated speaker series presented by The Music Hall and New Hampshire Public Radio, Writers on a New England Stage. Mr. Irving will discuss his new novel, IN ONE PERSON, a compelling and affecting exploration of sexuality, identity, and longing.
"It is a tremendous honor and thrill to welcome back to New Hampshire one of our very own celebrated writers — to a region he paints so clearly in The Ciderhouse Rules and A Prayer for Owen Meany," said Margaret Talcott, Associate Producer of Writers on a New England Stage. "There is tremendous interest here in his fiction. I can't wait to hear from him and to learn more through his discussion with Virginia Prescott from NHPR."
In his thirteenth novel, Mr. Irving pushes the boundaries of acceptance for the sexual outsider or misfit — he describes the life and mind of a bisexual man dealing with his solitariness and the obduracy of an intolerant society.
IN ONE PERSON is narrated by Billy Abbott, one of Irving's most tormented and impassioned protagonists. Billy grows up in First Sister, Vermont, a small town with two defining institutions: a boarding school named Favorite River Academy and an amateur theatrical society called the First Sister Players. Both will play a seminal role in Billy's formative years. He grows up fatherless; his biological father is one of several secrets kept from Billy. When his mother marries drama teacher and leading man Richard Abbott, Billy develops the first of many "crushes on the wrong people."
Billy's sexual yearnings are not limited to men. He fantasizes about Miss Frost, the statuesque town librarian. Another object of his desire is Jacques Kittredge, the school's handsome wrestling star. Kittredge is also the sexual fantasy of Elaine Hadley, Billy's best friend. Billy's understanding of sexual roles is further confounded by his grandfather, Harry Marshall, the owner of the local sawmill, who dons women's clothing and performs female roles in the First Sister Players productions with notable finesse.
Billy becomes a writer; as his life unfolds, he will draw his friends and lovers (for more than half a century) from a wide sexual spectrum, thus coming to terms with his own complex desires. During the AIDS epidemic, he bears witness to its horror and its politicizing effects. With compassion and curiosity, Billy grows into a man of singular qualities; he discovers that our differences can be as formative as our similarities.
The World According to Garp, which won the National Book Award in 1980, was John Irving's fourth novel and his first international best-seller; it also became a George Roy Hill film. Tony Richardson wrote and directed the adaptation for the screen of The Hotel New Hampshire (1984). Irving's novels are now translated into thirty-five languages, and he has had nine international bestsellers. Worldwide, the Irving novel most often called "an American classic" is A Prayer for Owen Meany (1989), the portrayal of an enduring friendship at that time when the Vietnam War had its most divisive effect on the United States. In 1992, John Irving was inducted into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame in Stillwater, Oklahoma. He competed as a wrestler for twenty years, until he was thirty-four, and coached the sport until he was forty-seven. In 2000, Irving won the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay for The Cider House Rules, a Lasse Hallstr�m film that earned seven Academy Award nominations. Tod Williams wrote and directed The Door in the Floor, the 2004 film adapted from Irving's ninth novel, A Widow for One Year.
At each Writers event, The Music Hall hosts local high school students selected by their teachers, who come free of charge to the event and get an opportunity to meet the author. The Music Hall welcomes local book clubs attending on the night to take part in a drawing to be guests at a private backstage book signing/reception with the featured writer. For more information on how to join the Writers on a New England Stage book club list and drawing, email Associate Producer Margaret Talcott at email@example.com. Interested high school and middle teachers can contact Programming Coordinator Chris Curtis at firstname.lastname@example.com
Tickets to Writers on a New England Stage: John Irving are $13 ($11 for members of The Music Hall and NH Public Radio). For each 1-2 tickets sold, the purchase of a book voucher ($30) is required. Vouchers can be redeemed on the night of the event for a signed copy of Irving's discussed work, IN ONE PERSON.
Tickets can be purchased at The Music Hall box office in the Historic Theater, 28 Chestnut Street, Portsmouth or over the phone at 603-436-2400. Tickets and vouchers are not available online for John Irving.

Spring Breaking at Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center
ATHENS, Texas—Families looking for a place to have an inexpensive, rewarding family vacation during spring break (and dreading $4 a gallon gas) need look no farther than the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center (TFFC) in Athens.
Located just 75 miles southeast of Dallas, 100 miles east of Waco and 125 miles north of Bryan/College Station, TFFC is a one-tank round trip for 4 or 5 million of you.
TFFC offers free fishing with paid admission for channel catfish and rainbow trout with no license, bait, tackle or experience required, and from March 10 until the end of rainbow trout season in late April, visitors can harvest trout for free. Daily limit is five trout per person. Anyone wishing to harvest trout should bring an ice chest and ice.
Visitors will also want to check out the center's 300,000 gallons of aquaria featuring native Texas fish, including black bullhead catfish, grass pickerel, lake chubsucker, freshwater drum and white bass, along with sunfish, gar and crappie. There are also some truly monster fish on display, including largemouth bass weighing more than 15 pounds and alligator gar weighing 200 or so.
Because there is so much to do and see at TFFC, you'll want to spend the whole day there, so a food vendor will be on site during Fly Fish Texas March 10 and also Tuesday through Saturday, March 13—17. Visitors are also welcome to picnic in the areas provided, and Athens, where the hamburger was invented (yes, really!) has plenty of restaurants.
Weekdays at 11:00 a.m., Saturday at 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., and Sundays at 2:00 p.m. a diver hand-feeds the fish in a 26,000-gallon aquarium with a viewing auditorium while discussing their biology and behavior. Visitors can ask questions of the diver through a live underwater link.
After the dive show, visitors can take a tram tour of the hatchery where TFFC annually raises two to three million largemouth bass for stocking into public waters, channel catfish, smallmouth bass and koi carp (fish have to eat, too).
Families with youngsters needing to work off some energy will want to disembark the tram at the far end of the hatchery and walk back along the ADA-compliant Wetlands Trail. This 0.8-mile trail features interpretive exhibits on the flora and fauna (that's the birds and the bees and the flowers and the trees), a working bee-hive with see-through walls, a wildflower area and scads of turtles in the ponds.
If you should happen to visit during a spring shower, there's plenty to be seen inside the Visitor Center. All the aquaria can be viewed from a covered walkway, and indoor exhibits include a fishing museum, a freshwater fishing hall of fame, displays showing how fish are spawned and raised and a well-stocked gift shop.
All this is yours for the price of admission: $5.50 for adults, $4.50 for seniors, and $3.50 for children ages 4 to 12. For more information, call (903) 676-2277 or visit http://tpwd.texas.gov/tffc.

I agree with > certain techniques may not be sufficient for > some languages if the AT supporting that language doesn't work with > the technique What I was concerned with was languages where there was no AT. Most of the worlds technologies don't have AT support - and we don't want to preclude using WCAG for any of those. Best to have them be proactive and set up so they will work with AT as it comes available in the language. I think we can fix that by looking carefully at our language and adjusting it so that it is clear that the above is covered but work in languages that is currently without AT is not discouraged.

Toshiba's new flagship laptop for Windows 8 is the U925t Satellite.
When you first pick it up though, it feels like a super thick and heavy tablet.
That is until you slide the device's face away from you and pull the screen forward, giving it the look of a more traditional laptop.
The Satellite is just one of many unique designs coming out this year due to the nature of Windows 8's touchscreen interface.
Keep reading to see how Toshiba's first attempt plays out.
The Satellite weighs in at 3.4 pounds. While that might not seem like a lot, somehow this machine feels way too heavy. Single-handed usage in tablet mode is a chore and almost impossible.
While most laptops have a lid to protect the precious screen, the strange design of the Satellite leaves the screen exposed, so if you don't want nicks and scratches, you'll need to get some sort of pouch or bag to keep the convertible protected.
With the keyboard out, typing wasn't as precise as I wanted it to be.
The bottom of the device is covered in a rubber material that helps the Toshiba to stay put on surfaces or your lap. The feel isn't bad, but it doesn't look as nice as an aluminum or metal-backed laptop.
But regardless of whether you think the form factor is functional or not, the device still turns heads. The Satellite has such a drastically different design that whenever I would pull it out and slide the keyboard from beneath the screen, it would always attracted some attention.
I wanted to like Windows 8. After watching Microsoft demo the software in person last month, I was really excited about how it worked and the possibilities it opened up in terms of productivity and entertainment.
But Windows 8 isn't all the way there for me yet. After using it on my own, I realized that the mix of the new Start menu style and traditional desktop can be confusing.
The experience is further hampered by Toshiba's touchscreen, which isn't as accurate as the one found on the Surface.
One thing I do enjoy about Windows 8 is the ability to multi-task. I really like being able to maximize screen real estate and combine the apps with the traditional desktop or other apps.
But when launching apps, the software would lag or act very strangely, taking several seconds to load and sometimes freezing to a white screen. I would then have to push the Windows button on the keyboard to get out.
Produced By William Wei
The Toshiba Satellite U925t has a a 12.5-inch touch screen which pushes out a resolution of 1,366x768 pixels.
There is a front-facing camera for video chatting, which is standard nowadays, but I'm confused by the rear-facing camera. It doesn't feel right to have one of those on a laptop.
Under the hood there is an Intel 3rd Generation 2.6 GHz Core i5 processor, a 128GB solid state hard drive, Intel HD graphics 4000, 4GB of RAM, and stereo speakers.
Ports include two USB 3.0 ports, one full size- HDMI port, an SD card slot, and a combo headphone/microphone jack. You also get standard Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity.
Should You Buy It?
Toshiba's U925t Satellite laptop retails for $1,149.99 from Amazon, but other retailers may have varying prices.
While the laptop certainly looks new and interesting, I don't really know how economic it is. There are plenty of functional Windows 8 touchscreen laptops out there that retail for less and offer more functionality.

According to an article by Julie Steinberg in The Wall Street Journal, one of the reasons why women hold so few executive officer positions and board seats in Fortune 500 companies is because they often lack the types of intangible skills that are needed to gain attention from management and that lead to higher-level roles. How can women get ahead and reach the executive level? Steinberg recommends nine rules women should follow.
The nine rules women should follow according to Julie Steinberg:
As the former executive vice president and general manager at a $12 billion global corporation and a certified executive coach working specifically with women and their careers, four of Steinberg's rules stood out for me:
Work hard: What I learned during my climb of the career ladder in corporate America is that nothing will help you stand out more than doing excellent work that produces outstanding results. Not being assigned projects that will allow you to demonstrate your skills? Then volunteer to take on projects that will show your strengths and allow you to gain the necessary experience to move to the next level.
Know what you want and go for it: If you don't know where you want to go, how will you determine how to get there? Take the time to clearly define your career aspirations and then conduct research to find out the skills and experience necessary to succeed in those positions. Once you have this information you can create a career strategic plan. Having a career plan in place will ensure you achieve your aspirations efficiently and effectively – just like using a roadmap helps you reach a destination.
Leave to get ahead: Working for a company that doesn't recognize your talent or where a manager is blocking your career? When a boss purposely halted my career advancement, I chose to accept a position with another company. I was able to demonstrate my skills and was promoted three times within two years. Word spread quickly within the industry and the senior vice president of a different division in my former company sought me out, luring me back with a higher-level position and more responsibilities. The key in leaving to get ahead is to always refer back to rule number one; that no matter where you work, you must do excellent work that produces outstanding results.
Dress well and play golf: What you wear creates an image or perception of the type of person you are, so choosing the right attire and acting the part is critical. As the old saying goes, "perception is reality" and women wanting to reach executive-level positions need to think about and consciously determine the type of image they want to project at work by choosing appropriate clothing, hair style, and make-up.
As for playing golf, I had to laugh at this rule. As the only female on the management team of the service division of a large medical equipment corporation, one of the first actions I took was to learn to play golf. At this company, national meetings always included a golf outing and, as the only female, it was a great way to get myself noticed. Especially when on one of the golf holes I won the "longest drive" competition – you better believe management sat up and took notice!
While experts have written more rules for women in business than I could ever list in this blog, Ms. Steinberg does an outstanding job of highlighting what I agree are the top nine rules for women to climb the career ladder. However, no matter what the other rules are, never forget the number one rule that must be followed to get ahead is to do excellent work that produces outstanding results.

Fat cell water content and fat loss
Ok, finally stickying this stupid post with some very minor modifications.
It's something I've mentioned over the years, an assertion that my exercise physiology professor had made wrt: fat loss.
Note that under normal conditions, fat cells contain ~90% triglycerides and ~10% other stuff where other stuff includes some water, the cellular machinery that makes all the stuff that fat cells make and a couple of other things that I'm forgetting right now. Basically, fat cells do not normally contain much water.
He told us that, after triglycerides were removed from the cell, that the fat cells refilled with water in the short-term, eventually the body dropped that water and the fat loss 'became evident' (a goofy way for me to try to describe when the fat loss actually shows up on calipers, one of those dumb Tanita scales, or visually).
If nothing else, this gives a plausible mechanism for the non-linear fat loss that is so often seen. Folks will do everything right for weeks with no results. then overnight, something happens and the scale drops a bunch. Many diet newsgroups and forums refer to this as a 'whoosh' which often follows a stall.
A couple of empirical data points in support of this: people who use tanita scales have often reported that it will tell them that their BF has gone up right before a 'whoosh' occurs and a big drop. This suggests something goofy is going on with water balance.
Another is that fat often gets squishy (suggesting a change in what's in there) prior to a drop in skinfolds/ improvement in appearance.
I looked for research on the topic for a decade to no success. I made up my own plausible mechanism having to do with glycerol levels in the fat cell (glycerol is hydrophilic); if fatty acids were being lost at a greater proportion than glycerol, this mght explain how water is attracted into the fat cell. Except that, usually, glycerol and fatty acid are released in about the proportion you'd expect (3:1 FFA:glycerol).
edit: For what very little it's worth, Colgan mentions something similar in OPtimum Sports Nutrition, something about the body 'tracking' glycerol to keep track of fat stores. It's possible that the research on this is just pre-medline. Or he and my teacher just pulled it out of the old I need to read the rules post.I need to read the rules post.I need to read the rules post..
A couple of years back, a paper came out showing an increase in water content of visceral fat with dieting. First semi-direct data I've seen. I don't recall the mechanism being mentioned but I may not have ever read the full paper.
I keep meaning to look into what happens to water balance hormones with dieting, but my laziness is just truly profound.
Edit: Of course, if I suppose if I ever got off my I need to read the rules post.I need to read the rules post.I need to read the rules post. and figured out what was causing it, I could try to figure out how to fix it. But, see: profound laziness.... It's probably just a matter of drinking a I need to read the rules post.I need to read the rules post.I need to read the rules post.I need to read the rules post.ton of water so that your body will quit being weird and holding onto what's in the system.
As a weird addendum: many folks have noticed that a refeed can often trigger a 'whoosh'. Is this somehow affecting water balance (this would make sense given the relationships of carbs and water, carbs tend to pull water into the muscle cells)? Is it that the increase in leptin that accompanies refeeds does something nifty? I have no answers but it's something some have noticed/mentioned, including myself. You'll have someone who dieted hard for a week or two and nothing appears to be happening. Then they'll go 'I need to read the rules post.I need to read the rules post.I need to read the rules post.I need to read the rules post. it' and have a big cheat/meal or short refeed. And wake up 4 lbs lighter with a visual difference.
after reading this thread , particularly the part about a fat cell refilling w/ water after it releases the tri's , would it be effective to walk for 25-30 minutes at low or mod intensity following a depletion workout , while consuming a few quarts of water or more during the walk? Since fat mobility is peaked following a circuit style full body workout where lactic acid saturation is the goal , and GH is surging , and where fat cells refill w/ water , would extreme hydrosaturation at this time (post circuit WO - when 99% of us are DEhydrated) give an extreme boost in stimulating water release from fat cells? It just seems that after a workout , the body is dehydrated to a degree and maybe the fat cells retain that water as a survival mechanism to combat dehydration - so if I super saturate my body , it seems logical that the body will recognize this as a signal that its ok to release any water that it was currently retained because the threat (dehydration) has been cancelled out. Just a thought.
OR maybe extreme hydrosaturation for the entire anabolic window of oppurtunity and the following hours after?
Last edited by killkillkill : 02-22-2008 at 06:26 PM. Reason: the more I think about it the more I feel like adding :)
I think that both of you are on to something here that is most definitely worth pursuing. Low intensity walking is surprisingly effective in fat reduction as is hydrosaturation.
you think theres any merit in waiting until you get that "squishy" fat in your belly to do a carb load? if in fact the squishy fat is a signal that the tri's have left the fat cell and refilled w/ water - do you think a carbload would release the water in the cell? experiment time. i can REALLy tell a diff in the "texture" of my bellyfat, it seems that as i get leaner my belly fat and oblique fat (to a lesser degree) becomes more squishy and almost has a small lumpy feel to it , like little lumps of fat that i can roll between my fingertips.
"When my mother was pregnant with me, they did an ultrasound and found she was having twins. When they did another ultrasound a few weeks later, they discovered that I had resorbed the other fetus. Do I regret this? No. I believe his tissue has made me stronger. I now have the strength of a grown man and a little baby."
No, as there are other reasons (e.g. leptin, muscle glycogen) to carb-load/refeed
I have no opinion on water temporarily "refilling" fat cells when some of the fat is used or how to force the water back out of those cells. I believe I know how to detect this. As I understand the way Tanita scales work, they should be able to detect this. They basically measure electrical resistance through the body. If the fat cells did have a change in their water to fat ratio their resistance would change. My understanding is that they would become more conductive and this would be displayed as a reduction in % body fat. So there should be a larger drop in % body fat than can be explained through the weight lost.
Assume a starting weight of 300lb and %BF = 33%
If after x weeks the weight is 295 and %BF = 30%
Assuming no loss or increase in lean, non-water, mass the numbers would IMO show that some of the fat burned has been replaced by a more conductive medium, like saline.
A side note: I have noticed that even though I follow the "best prescribed methods" for using my Tanita scale, no food or water for 4 hours and no exercise for 12 hours, I still find the %BF numbers fluctuate a lot more than my weight. I am weightlifting 5 times a week and have assumed thus far that muscle building is interfering with the ability of the scale to properly determine my %BF.
My turn to wank.
Could the elasticity of the skin, or lack thereof in people who have dieted down from obesity, have an impact on the body's willingness to release the water that may fill emptied fat cells? Could those cells continually expand to accept more and more water because the skin is not providing any resistance to their expansion? Would they eventually rupture and spill into the interstitial space, which could also expand easily due to poor elasticity of the skin, thus not "draining" or getting pumped into the lymph nodes properly?
Trying to dry out with diet, electrolyte and exercise manipulation is futile. I can see success in the leaner areas, like the face, traps/shoulders, arms and legs but there's just too much fluid everywhere else to try and pull out this way. Just about drove myself into the ground trying to dry out with deplete/loading and had zero impact on the abdominal area.
I have tried compression but was using a wetsuit to experiment. Didn't have much luck but it may not have been tight enough. Hate to go too crazy with compression and creating a blood pressure problem, but wonder if the medical compression garments for surgery victims would be a better fit.
Or, maybe it's just something I gotta live with. If there's any chance the skin can tighten back up though, I gotta get the junk out of there to give it that opportunity. I'm not naive enough to think all the excess matter is water, but I'm not dumb enough to believe it's 100% fat either. I mean, fill a 1 gallon ziploc bag with water, and you got half my stomach right there down to the way it spills around your hand when you put pressure on it.
I just got my "whoosh" this week and I am very happy
Question... Would just a straight up diuretic solve this and get the water out of the cells?
You either end up back at square one, or with even MORE water, because the body seeks balance and sometimes overshoots.
It sucks.

Company With Huntsman Roots Predicts 91% of Political Races Correctly
November 2012
By Steve Eaton
After traveling by bus for three months to 48 states logging 18,000 miles, contacting more than 3,000 politicians, participating in a drag race with a pig bus and a "slow walk" with a presidential candidate, the leaders of PoliticIt decided to take a break this week.
While many of us felt battered, worn, and exhausted by the long presidential campaign, with its gaffes, attack ads, and debates, few have become as immersed in an election cycle as the PoliticIt crew. Four members of the Logan-based, start-up company, which monitors online buzz and predicts political races, traveled the country in a customized mobile home looking for politicians to interview, reporters to interest, and the credibility they will need to take their entrepreneurial efforts to the next level.
It looks as if they have earned some of that credibility already. On election night KUTV and KSL in Salt Lake City asked to have PoliticIt people available for interviews as the results came in. They were asking about the company's "IT Scores," indicators PoliticIt uses to predict which candidates will come out on top.
PoliticIt uses "machine-learning algorithms" to analyze massive amounts of data, taking into account what people do or say on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Wikipedia, along with several other factors to come up with a number that they say is indicative of a candidate's digital influence. The more positive buzz the candidates are generating, the higher their IT Scores. PoliticIt predicted 477 federal races along with most of the gubernatorial contests. In 91 percent of the races they followed the candidates with the highest IT Scores won.
Josh Light, the CEO of the company, compared it to the number-crunching story behind the baseball movie "Moneyball" where statistical analysis of batting records helped the Oakland Athletics create a winning season.
"It's crazy," Josh said. "We were predicting races we knew nothing about with our machine-learning algorithm. It just blows my mind. It's like the Moneyball of politics."
The PoliticIt crew found itself in Kansas on Sunday, Nov. 4, with last-minute numbers to crunch and thousands of miles to travel if they were going to end up back in Utah by Nov. 6. Josh said he spent all Sunday night working on the PoliticIt data, making sure the final data they would have on election eve would be accurate and reliable. The next day they had to drive 21 hours straight to make it to Utah so they'd be ready for election night in Salt Lake City. They arrived in Cache Valley at 5:30 a.m. the day before the elections, Josh said. He said they went to bed for a few hours and then went to work crunching data all night long again to get ready.
"You have to understand that all these intense days happened after three months of being in a bus, and in the bus we would be getting up at 8 or 9 in the morning and going to bed about 2 a.m.," Josh said. "It was constant work."
Sleep deprived, Josh ended up on camera, along with Sterling Morris, chief marketing officer, giving their analysis of the election until after the time that President Barack Obama gave his acceptance speech--a race they predicted he would win. John Johnson, a Huntsman professor who has supported the group financially and in many other ways, is the chairman of the company.
He and the company's chief technology officer, Britney Johnson, and John David Johnson, a programmer, were the go-to experts for KSL TV. Britney is John Johnson's daughter, and John David is his son. Josh said Britney and John David stayed up all night on Nov. 7 to compile the election results.
Josh said it was rewarding to see their strategy pay off.
"It feels good," Josh said of the credibility they were accorded on election eve. "It feels like our marketing has worked correctly. That was part of our marketing plan, to create relationships with media."
That marketing plan now includes selling software the company has developed to the politicians and political operatives they met on the road. With the new software, each campaign can do its own detailed analysis of its online presence.
They wanted to interview as many of the candidates for national office and governor as they could, but discovered that incumbents who felt confident they would win were not as interested in being interviewed for an online video. Candidates who faced steep odds, however, were often happy to get additional exposure.
They struck out trying to interview President Barack Obama or Mitt Romney. They did get an interview with the Libertarian candidate, Gary Johnson, and they got him to help them make their own "slow walking" dramatic video. You can see that by clicking here.
Sterling, an accomplished videographer, documented the trip and made a number of other unusual videos with politicians as PoliticIt tried to create its own online buzz. Here are some of the other videos that are posted on their website:
- They challenged Pennsylvania Senate candidate Gene Stilp, a Democrat, to a slow-moving drag race in front of the Pennsylvania state capital buildings with a pink bus that had been modified to look like a pig. Candidate Stilp drives the bus around Pennsylvania to spread the message that he wants to ferret out government waste. You can see the race by clicking here.
- They filmed Barry Hinkley, a candidate for the Senate from Rhode Island, doing pushups with a voice-over that says, "When Barry Hinkley does a pushup, he isn't lifting himself up; he's pushing the earth down." Watch the video by clicking here.
- One video features Josh in a bench-press competition with Missouri Senate candidate Jonathan Dine, a Libertarian. Click here to see who won.
- They got Tennessee Congressional candidate Pat Riley to run through downtown Nashville to a Rocky soundtrack, demonstrating his fighting spirit. You can see that video by clicking here.
Josh and Sterling were joined by Huntsman intern McCade Child, and Shelby Sonnentag, marketing and communications director. Lauren Johnson and Shai McDonald, creative designers, are still in school and did not go on the trip. Miles English, a PoliticIt programmer, who is working on his degree in computer science, also stayed in Logan.
The trip was hard work, Josh said. The vehicle had to be maintained, washed and prepared. Josh said that most politicians dream of traveling around in their own campaign bus, so when they saw that PoliticIt had a bus it gave the company added credibility.
The bus almost became a convertible on the New York Parkway, however.
Parkways are designed for cars, and Josh said they didn't know that. When the PoliticIt bus became packed-in, surrounded by cars, and heading toward a tunnel that only had 8-feet-11-inches of overhead clearance distance in the outside lanes, Sterling, who was driving, found himself swerving to the middle of the road in the hope of not tearing off the top of the vehicle, which is 12 feet tall.
"All the cars basically gave us tons of room because they were like, 'Oh, my gosh, this guy is in trouble," Josh said. "So, he swerved to the middle of the tunnel, and we barely cleared it. We came out the other side and saw that another RV had just gone into the tunnel in the other direction, and the low ceiling had ripped off the top of their RV."
They were immediately pulled over by police who said, "What were you guys thinking, driving on a parkway?" Josh said, and we said, "We don't know what a parkway is! We're not from New York."

A dream come true
Albert Pridgen of Kinston, a retired Army Iraqi Freedom veteran, noticed a child in need of a bicycle while on his daily walk in his neighborhood Dec. 19.
Javier Cannon, 8, was running beside another child who was riding a bike. With the approval of Javier�s mother, Christine Cannon, Pridgen bought a bike and returned the same day to give it to Javier.
He was excited but promised to wait until Christmas Day to ride it.
Home Solutions: Battling those seasonal stains
Nearly half of U.S. consumers say they have never read the directions on a package of laundry detergent, according to a survey from the Soap & Detergent Association.
It is no surprise that our clothing, both new and old, can last longer and outlast holiday stains by using the right laundry techniques and following the instructions on garment tags. A few of the laundry product trends that help make laundering faster and more effective include:
Travel size towelettes containing stain removers that fit in your purse or pocket will give you what you need to take care of stains immediately wherever you are.
Detergents and fabric softeners with color protection work best if you use them from the start with new garments. They help keep the original color vibrant.
Pre-measured detergent tablets, which take the measuring factor completely out of the equation, are handy, portable, light and drip free.
Some detergents are specially formulated to keep dark clothes dark.
Bleach pens that target stains with a fine point applicator are an effective treatment.
�Spa-treatment� laundry detergents pamper clothes with aromatherapy scents.
Wrinkle-releasing sprays relax and smooth fabrics without the use of an iron.
Dye-trapping sheets for the washer, which act like magnets, prevent colors from being transferred from one clothing item to another.
High Efficiency detergents are formulated to be low-sudsing and quick-dispersing to get the best cleaning performance with HE washers.
If the aftermath of parties and feasts have left you with stains on your family�s clothing, check out the following advice:
With stains, act quickly to increase chances of removal. Pre-treat stains by rinsing or soaking in cold water, then apply a commercial stain remover and launder. Check freshly washed wet clothes for stains that don�t wash away. Instead of drying them, which can permanently set the stains, pre-treat the stains a second time and wash again. Repeat as necessary.
All-purpose laundry detergents are especially effective on food, and greasy and oily soils. Since they are liquids, they are good for pre-treating spots and stains.
Most liquid and powder detergents are now concentrated; so follow the label instructions and use the measuring cap or scoop to ensure the correct amount.
Most importantly, read and follow laundry package directions, and you can have clothes that will outlast the stains.

Started off promptly at 8 a.m. with Bill Boisture from Hawker Beechcraft explaining how the company will emerge from bankruptcy in 2013. It is jarring to think that there is a possibility that the Hawker business jets may be no more if a buyer(s) doesn't step up. (Make sure that you check in with ShowNews for all the details)
Boeing was happy to announce the new BBJ MAX 8 and MAX 9. Capt. Steve Taylor was there to explain the extended ranges of these aircraft. He also say that he took a greenie BBJ with seven Pats tanks from L.A. to Auckland in 13 hours and 7 minutes (5,658 nm) What a haul. Sales of aircraft for 2012 have been flat but they are busy delivering 747 VIP aircraft. The BBJ was also voted the "Most Wished" aircraft in a survey done by an industry pub. Tayor noted that "yes, there definitely is a market for a 7,000+ aircraft." With the extended ranges of these new BBJ's, they are almost there.
Dassualt Falcon talked about the 2000S and the rest of the Falcon Jet family and had a great video showing the installation of a med vac interior.
Safe Flight talked about their Auto Power System on the Hawker series. The weight increase on the Hawker is only 25 lb. (Check at their booth or ShowNews for complete details.)
Stay tuned. It's only the first morning and the show hasn't open yet.

PhaseTone is a FREE frequency-dependent phase rotation and correction plugin. PhaseTone allows you to manipulate the phase of your signal across a user-definable frequency range, with options for creating different phase and time-based offsets (if desired) for the left and right channels of a stereo signal. Similar to hardware boxes popular for correcting phase relationships between signal-pairs such as bass DI and bass mics and top/bottom snare mics, PhaseTone goes a little further. By allowing the user to select the center frequency and Q of the phase process, PhaseTone allows for more creative manipulation of phase when mixing, producing effects with more EQ like results, increasing clarity and removing mud. And, best of all, it's free!
ColorTone is a ?ĺTone Box?Ĺ which simulates the signal path of analog devices through the use of convolution and various proprietary non-linear processes. ColorTone is designed to provide analog-like character and flavor to the modern digital audio workstation. ColorTone is available in two formats: ColorTone-Pro and ColorTone-Free.ColorTone-Pro allows the user to load their own samples (instructions for sampling your own equipment are included) and provides the user with our custom-coded Warmth algorithm to enhance the signal-path with extra harmonic goodness.ColorTone-Free is another free plugin from TriTone Digital. ColorTone-Free provides the user with a preset group of classic signal-path samples. ColorTone-Free cannot load new samples and does not contain the Warmth algorithm.Both versions of ColorTone allow the user to multiply the color of the selected circuit, increasing the color from the standard character to several times the original color.

Mo money fewer problems
If you listened intently during Ted Leitner's introduction of Padre owner Jeff Moorad at Trevor Hoffman's wonderful number retirement ceremony on Sunday, you may have heard awkward cheering from one fan in the second row of the upper deck. That fan was me. Leitner's remark that Moorad had been busy last week signing almost every top draft pick had me clapping and screaming.
And the reason it was awkward? I can't answer that; Leitner was referring to the most promising day for Padres organization over the last couple years. I expected more cheers.
I'll now direct your attention to figure A (those liney things next to this text). On the rightermost section of the graph, which shows the Padres spending budget compared to the rest of baseball year by year, you'll notice the 2010 payroll and draft numbers wayyyy down at the bottom. The payroll ranking for the preceding and following years also displays on the southern end. (note, I couldn't find draft data for 2005 and prior, or 2007)
Meanwhile, the Padres record this season is awful. The driver behind the (in my opinion, overrated but good) 2010 ballclub is no longer with the team. Also note the absolutely embarrassing draft budget in 2010 and 2008, though the latter was under a different ownership. Many of the team's best prospects including Casey Kelly, Simon Castro, Donavan Tate, Drew Cumberland, to name a few, took steps backward in 2011. This organization needs talent, badly.
This was the environment fans saw while watching the draft and subsequent signing window. A bad team. A step back from the farm. A low payroll. A traded star. And while the team's explanation behind not signing 2010 top draft choice Karsten Whitson seemed plausible, we fans have no way of knowing for sure. We've followed organization known for publicly and historically skimping on the draft, such skepticism is warranted. Even if Whiton accepted the team's reported offering, the 2010 draft budget likely only match the mid-point of spending across the majors.
These days, even the big spenders are catching up with the times. Draft spending is up across baseball, and teams are valuing prospects more than ever before. So yes, spending does not guarantee anything. But it helps. Just like navigating city streets in a car without breaks can be done, so can winning with a low budget. But it has never been easy, and isn't getting any easier.
So for me, the new players in the Padres organization are important and great to see. But even better is the confirmation that Padres intend to follow their stated plan of adding talent through the draft. Because even at record costs, it's worth it. The team is showing that the Karsten Whitson fiasco likely was an exception to the rule. But you have to pay for talent at some point, and the draft is a pretty good place to get it. With a payroll this low, they can't afford otherwise.

How to Use the Images
Photo 1: Children from the Baltimore League for Crippled Children gather outside a cabin, 1937.
Questions for Photos 1 & 2
1. How would you describe each of the cabins? What are some of the similarities and differences between them?
2. Why do these buildings blend harmoniously with the landscape? Would the appearance of the camp be changed if sawn lumber had been used exclusively?
3. The Baltimore League for Crippled Children was the first group to use Camp Misty Mount. Do you think these buildings would be considered accessible for the disabled by today's standards? What, if any, alterations do you think would have to be made to accommodate the mobility-impaired?
* The photos on this screen have a resolution of 72 dots per inch (dpi), and therefore will print poorly. You can obtain a high quality version of Photo 1 and Photo 2, but be aware that each file will take as much as 30 seconds to load with a 28.8K modem.

Actor Gerard Depardieu granted Russian citizenship
LONDON – The French actor Gerard Depardieu has been granted Russian citizenship by President Vladimir Putin, the Kremlin has announced.
In a brief message sent out over Twitter on Thursday morning, Kremlin officials wrote, "Vladimir Putin signs order giving Gerard Depardieu Russian citizenship."
Depardieu, who was nominated for an Academy Award for his role as Cyrano de Bergerac in the 1990 film by the same name, is upset by French President Francois Hollande's attempt to raise wealth taxes on the mega-rich to 75%. Russia, by contrast, has a flat income tax of 13%.
Late last year the film star announced that he would be moving to Belgium to avoid what he saw as France's onerous tax system.
Depardieu is said to be well-known in Russian circles, frequently appearing in ads.
A representative for Depardieu declined to say whether he had accepted Russia's offer and refused all comment, the Associated Press reported.

The Mexican government on Wednesday stepped up a search on Falcon Lake – 60 miles long and straddling the US-Mexico border – for a missing US boater, presumed shot and killed by Mexican pirates nearly a week ago.
The halting attempt by the US and Mexico to find the body of David Hartley and establish security on the deceptively placid lake highlights the degree to which cross-border communications and trust have broken down since the start of the Mexico drug war in 2006, says Texas state legislator Aaron Pena.
The result is that an issue that once might have been handled between local officials from Texas and the Mexican border state of Tamaulipas has now escalated into an international incident demanding the involvement of the Obama administration.
Border security "will be much more successful if both sides are working toward the same goal," says Peter DeShazo, director of the Americas Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington.
That is often no longer the case, mostly because Mexican officials who had good relations with local government and law enforcement in Texas have been forced to flee from the drug war that has claimed more than 26,000 Mexicans in the past four years, says Mr. Pena, the Texas lawmaker.
"The leaders of border communities on the Mexican side now live on our side," says Pena, who met with local and state law-enforcement officials at the lake on Wednesday. "Plus the cartels have infiltrated many aspects of government on the border, they've infiltrated law enforcement, so you don't know who to trust anymore."
The incident began last Thursday afternoon when presumed Mexican pirates, already implicated earlier this year for robbing US bass boaters who had crossed over to the Mexican side, began shooting at Mr. Hartley and his wife, Tiffany, who had gone six miles into Mexico to visit the ruins of a submerged church.
Ms. Hartley says that when her husband was shot, she doubled back to try to fetch him, but had to abandon the rescue effort in order to escape. One eyewitness saw a boat matching Ms. Hartley's description of the boat used in the alleged attack chasing her deep into US waters. A memorial service for Mr. Hartley was held Tuesday.
Mexico: No formal complaint
Amid pleas from the family and wife of Mr. Hartley, the US has put pressure on Mexican authorities, some of whom have publicly doubted the veracity of Ms. Hartley's story. Mr. Hartley's father, Dennis Hartley, told the Associated Press, "I don't think at this time ... Mexico is really doing anything."
Tamaulipas state police, however, say that Ms. Hartley must file a formal complaint before they can begin an official investigation. Ms Hartley is expected to travel to Mexico today. In the meantime, an informal search has already been launched, said Ruben Dario Rios, a spokesman for the state attorney general's office, according to published reports.
US officials and politicians like Sen. John Cornyn (R) of Texas and Rep. Henry Cuellar (D) of Texas say they've been in communication with various Mexican agencies since the shooting happened and demand prompt action.
"David Hartley must be found," Congressman Cuellar told a Texas newspaper. "We can and must continue to urge our Mexican counterparts to search for David Hartley."
On Wednesday, that pressure seemed to pay off as Mexican officials began a more thorough search, using helicopters and more boats on the Mexican side of Falcon Lake, which US authorities are not allowed to patrol. The investigation also appears to be making some headway as Texas authorities glean more information from sources on the other side of the lake.
Yet the cross-border tension remains palpable as Zapata County Sheriff Sigifredo Gonzalez, who is heading up the investigation on the US side, declined an invitation to join the search in Mexico. "I think if we go out there and we end up getting into a gun battle, it's definitely an international incident that would have some repercussions," he said.
'Take back the lake'
In an interview on KURV radio in Texas, Ms. Hartley herself echoed a call by Texas Gov. Rick Perry to address the situation not just diplomatically, but with a show of force, including more National Guard troops.
"They need to have a realization, a wake-up call," Ms. Hartley said. "We need to get people down here. We need to get our Army and military and whoever. We need to double our Border Patrol and take back the lake. Why in the heck do [the cartels] have [control of] that lake? They have most of that lake."
Pena echoed her sentiments: "On the Mexican side every inch is controlled by the cartels and it's a hotbed of criminal activity."
In the past, the Obama administration has defended its border policy against critics, saying it has spent more time and money, and deployed more National Guard troops to secure the border than any other administration. Department of Homeland Security spokesman Matt Chandler said the US government has offered resources to help find Mr. Hartley.
Nevertheless, pressure is rising on the Obama administration to get more directly involved with the situation on Falcon Lake.
"President Obama says he wants lawmakers in both houses of Congress to make progress this year on reforming the immigration system," writes Jim Kouri, vice president of the National Association of Chiefs of Police, on the Borderfire Report blog. "However, he's not talking about how his administration is failing to protect citizens from criminal aliens."

Have to agree with the other comment. These guys aren't VCs. They are private equity. A couple years ago I got an email from them stating that they were looking for deals with $5M+ in revenue, a track record of profitability and an industry leader. That isn't Venture Capital.

text: British newspapers are reporting today that an 8 year old girl walked up to a group of Iraqi soldiers in Youssifiyah today and blew up. Although early reports are calling it a suicide bombing, the explosives were apparently detonated via remote. Question: is"suicide" the right word? Can an eight year old girl "choose" to become a suicide bomber any more than she can "choose" supposedly-consensual sex or "choose" marriage? It's an academic point, though, as Iraqi insurgents have apparently decided to make little girls the new IEDs. [The Guardian, The Telegraph]
