Instead, the trainer is essentially foot pedals only, with a chassis that's small enough to store under a desk or in a closet. Despite the small size, the trainer still packs a workout wallop, letting you burn a similar number of calories as jogging but without the risk of injury to the back, knees, hips, or ankles. Just keep your feet moving on the pedals--which continually oscillate in a low-impact manner--and you're set. Other details include sturdy steel construction, non-slip pedals, and an electronic fitness monitor that tracks the number of strides per minute, total number of strides, exercise time, and calories burned.The Stamina InMotion Compact Elliptical Trainer is lightweight and portable so you can use it anywhere.

Features and Specifications: Adjustable tension to control workout intensity level Use while seated or while standing The foot pedals can be worked in a forward or reverse direction to target your lower body in different ways Electronic fitness monitor displays number of strides per minute, total number of strides, exercise time, and calories burned; or scan all stats Sturdy steel construction, non-slip pedals Footprint: 20" x 12" Weight: 24 lbs. About Elliptical Trainers Elliptical trainers represent the next wave of advancement in low-impact cardiovascular exercise machines and continue to grow in popularity. By simulating motions experienced through walking, stepping, cycling, and skiing, elliptical machines allow for a smooth and fluid motion while building strength in the arms and legs. Similar to the exercise position for treadmills, elliptical trainers are used by standing in an upright position while holding the handrails of the machine. With elliptical trainers, however, your feet remain in the foot pedals throughout the exercise regimen and circulate in a smooth and seamless motion, resulting in little to no impact on the knees, back, and hips. Elliptical trainers are compatible for all ages and fitness levels and allow you to select the difficulty level through the incline and intensity settings. Additionally, elliptical trainers allow you to determine the complexity of your workout based on your needs, all while listening to music, watching television, or reading a magazine while exercising in the comfort and safety of your own home. Although different types of elliptical trainers offer an assortment of features, many of them include an array of challenging programs, forward and reverse directional movement, EKG grip pulse handles, a lightweight portable design with easy fold-up capability, and a monitor displaying calories burned, distance, speed, time, and heart rate.

"Steve has been Valid Eval's attorney for about five years. Hiring Steve is one of the best decisions we've made. As an early-stage CEO, there's an obvious tension between keeping legal costs in check and having big-firm quality representation and experience. Steve brings big-firm chops to our company, and I don't have to kick in to fund the overhead that comes with a super-premium office tower with marble bathrooms and breathtaking views. For my money, skill and wisdom are what matter; a posh office and a huge staff don't. I often recommend Steve to friends in the startup community."

"We started working with Steve when our company was a two-person start-up, and he later skillfully guided us through our transformational sale to a private-equity backed company. His grasp of the legal and structural complexities we faced enabled him to identify and negotiate deal points that delivered higher returns to our investors—and that far exceeded his fees—in a high-stakes deal. I've always admired clutch performers in a big game, and Steve is up there with the best."

As our outside general counsel, we consider Steve part of our senior leadership team and value his input on business decisions across the board."

Our discussions help me better evaluate and execute on my strategy and tactics. He understands the dynamics of complex transactions and is always thinking several steps ahead. I highly recommend Steve for capital formations, venture capital, M&A and really any other significant deals."

"After having spent 25 years as both an executive and an operator with a global PE firm, when I started my own firm I had exacting standards for legal representation and the need for a true partner, not just a transactions attorney. When I was asking people around Denver to recommend a high-quality, cost-effective M&A attorney, Steve's name kept coming up. We engaged Steve and he excels at bridging gaps, doesn't get stuck on items that aren't relevant to the particular deal, and meets every deadline. He's become our go-to M&A attorney, helping to close two deals so far in 2017. He has delivered outstanding legal expertise and guidance with boutique-level service—Steve is a true partner."

Television Law 101 requires all major sporting events be preceded with dramatic opening segments overselling the drama to come. And that's not a bad thing. These pieces get our juices flowing. Something IMPORTANT is happening, our big dumb brains finally realize.
CBS decided to turn today's AFC Championship intro into a meta thinkpiece starring John Malkovich. The result is a pure brilliance.
The NFL's David vs. the NFL's Goliath, for the right to play in the Super Bowl.
Our tease for @Jaguars–@Patriots featuring @JohnMalkovich will get you AMPED for the AFC Championship Game on CBS. pic.twitter.com/DYClwgcTAW

Very clever way to play up the David vs. Goliath angle with a wink and a nod. Someone deserves a raise.

The dark tone of Logan had executives at Fox very concerned
Even though we're just weeks away from the release of LOGAN, I'm still surprised that Twentieth Century Fox actually let Hugh Jackman and James Mangold go ahead with an R-rated Wolverine film. Although the previous X-MEN movies may have sometimes stretched their ratings, they always remained strictly in the realm of PG-13. Throwing their flagship character into a world of blood and F-bombs will represent a big change for the X-MEN franchise, and, perhaps unsurprisingly, the executives at Fox were initially very concerned about the tonal shift in LOGAN.
According to Twentieth Century Fox Film chairman Stacey Snider, who spoke during a Q&A at the Recode Media Conference, there were internal concerns that LOGAN would be too dark.
Inside, there was real consternation about the intensity of the tone of the film. It's more of an elegy about life and death. The paradigm for it was a Western, and my colleagues were up in arms. It's not a wise-cracking cigar-chomping mutton-sporting Wolverine, and the debate internally became, isn't that freakin' boring? Isn't it exciting to imagine Wolverine as a real guy and he's world-weary and he doesn't want to fight anymore until a little girl needs him?
The major success of DEADPOOL must have made Fox a little less hesitant about giving the greenlight to an R-rated Wolverine film, but LOGAN is also quite a different beast than DEADPOOL was and it remains to be seen how the film will be received by the general public. What we've heard about LOGAN certainly sounds great however and I have high hopes that it will do well. Not only would it be a fitting end to Hugh Jackman's tenure as Wolverine, but it would also show studios that audiences are hungry for many different types of superhero stories.
LOGAN is set to hit theaters on March 3, 2017.

Just about everybody I know suggests that I write a book. Up until now, I've dismissed that as flattery.
But recently, I've been giving it some serious thought.
In fact, last week I made up my mind to write a book, although I doubt it is the book any of my acquaintances would have expected.
The book is about a whole bunch of desperate people, told through the experiences of one family. This family - we'll call them the Garcias - were farmers. In fact, generations of their family had lived and worked the same land.
Unless you have an instinctive hatred for poor folks, you will like the Garcias, I think. They are a good, decent hard-working family. They have been swept up in circumstances beyond their control. If they are to survive, they will have to leave.
So the Garcias, like so many of their friends and neighbors, packed up their few meager belongings and headed for a land of promise hundreds of miles away. California.
That far-away land represented a fresh start, a better life. Some of their relatives had made the same journey years before and had encouraged them to join them. California was a land of milk and honey, they all said.
Well, really, what options did they have anyway? It was California or ruin.
The book begins with the beginning of the Garcias' journey.
It was a tough trek over difficult terrain. The little money they had was soon exhausted and they were forced to make do the best they could. Sometimes, they were helped by other travelers, who were pursuing the same dream.
Sadly, Abuela Garcia dies, broken-hearted, along the way. With no money for a proper burial, the family simply buries her in the desert and moves on.
When the Garcias finally arrive in California, they are completely destitute. What's more, times have changed. The boom days are over and even relatively prosperous Californians are beginning to feel the effects of a faltering economy.
Years before, these refugees had been welcomed and accepted. In fact, a lot of their culture was adopted into the community. There was a spirit of mutual respect and appreciation. The residents appreciated their willingness to do all the jobs nobody else wanted to do, for pay that no one else would stand for. The immigrants simply appreciated the opportunity to build a better life.
Now? The visitors are treated with suspicion, even hatred. "We have our own people to take care of,'' the thinking went. "These people are just a drain on our resources.''
So, they were told to go back where they belonged, even though a return trip would sentence them to a hopeless future. Going home was not an option, so they hid as best they could, sneaking out only to look for work.
Before long, politicians and law enforcement, sensitive to the fear and prejudices of the residents, began to make political hay of the situation. Laws that had been simply ignored for years were suddenly dusted off and implemented with great vigor. Lock 'em up or send 'em home, came the cry.
And the plight of the Garcias grew worse. Residents sneered at them, called them names. Cops rounded them up, beat them down, generally abused them.
And if they dared complain, they were told, "Go back where you came from. You have no right to be here!''
Soon, employers - fearful of government reprisal and the hostility of the residents - refused to give them any work at all.
Without work, some resorted to stealing, so desperate had their blight become. Others, as is the case with any mass migration, were simply criminals at heart. It didn't take long for that distinction to be lost to the residents, though. "They're just a bunch of criminals, little better than animals,'' was the general opinion.
The book chronicles the demise of the Garcias, and many others like them.
I was pretty excited about writing that book.
And then, I realized something:
This book had already been written. In fact, it was written almost 70 years ago, by John Steinbeck.
It's called, "The Grapes of Wrath.''
Oh, there are a few differences between the book I imagined and Steinbeck's. The family in Steinbeck's book are the Joads, not the Garcias. And they were from Oklahoma rather than Mexico.
Beyond that, it's the same story.
With the same implications.

The book I would have written

Good column. I'm glad to see you're still writing. And even though you're right about "The Grapes of Wrath," I think you should write the book anyway. The lesson is apparently lost on many of this generation.

A long and difficult journey
I spent the night in the Hilton, Washington. I have always believed that when in doubt first class hotels are always the best. Small family hotels are lovely when you have time to get to know the people. A curious thing happened whilst checking in though. When I had registered they asked me what credit card I would be using. I said I would be paying cash and immediately they asked for my passport as though cash was a dubious way to pay and made one a suspicious character.
I went to the office the following morning and by evening that day was on a plane on my way back to Vietnam. Not for me this time a month's wait for a flight.
Saigon via London. By some logic that escaped me I had to pass by the US Embassy in London to pick up my travel orders and various other documents. I wasn't even a resident of the UK any more. In London just before I was to get my flight the Viet Cong made massive attacks all over Vietnam in what was to become known as the Tet Offensive as it was during the New Year celebrations. All flights to Saigon were cancelled. I was still in my very gung ho period. Another Englishman who was meant to travel out to Saigon was held back by the London office and took six weeks to arrive. I was brought up in a different school.
I decided I had better have some more cash so went to the London office of my American bank and asked to withdraw some dollars. They said I wasn't allowed any dollars and it was against the law to have a foreign account anyway. I had to produce my United States Defense Department identity papers and explain my position before I could withdraw any money. Governments and I have never got on. I haven't got on with banks and head offices either.
I decided to take a flight to Paris.

Throughout this moment of recession, it is always a tough job for us to budget our revenue. Worst, it would be unfortunate if we don't have actually any type of money left from our earnings to budget whatsoever. So it is not unexpected to understand that more and more residences are obtaining confiscated as a result of unsettled home mortgages. Yet what could we do, this is the test of times. So can we simply seat around as well as see our homes obtaining ordered by the lending institutions? Today, we do not have to. Due to the fact that good idea we have now the Home loan calculator programs.
The home loan adjustment plan was proposed by the Obama Administration in 2009. The objective of it is to assist people modify their mortgage so that they could still pay their mortgage according to just how much they can afford or exactly how they could be able to cope up with the payments. However, that depends if the individuals qualify based from mandated government home loan adjustment standards. If qualified, the loan providers would certainly provide the customers the chance to pay the mortgage loans based from the debtors' capability to pay. Otherwise, the lenders and the consumers could pertain to various other agreement or a repossession can not be avoided.
The principle of home loan alteration will not totally benefit the lenders however this is better than the homeowners not paying in all. Likewise, in a manner that the loan providers would be confiscating the houses, most likely they will certainly have a difficult time selling it due to the fact that as we have actually said, life is harder currently and loan are hard ahead by. So, though in the past, lenders would have no worry marketing seized residences, today they intend to prevent this or else they lose money since there are virtually no purchasers.
Affecting Customer's Credit report or otherwise?
On the various other hand, there is this idea that whenever a customer take the course on getting into home loan adjustment, the consumer's credit rating will certainly slide down. That can be true because it would be noticeable that because the consumer could not be able to pay his routine duties, it will be suggested in his credit report that his loan settlement has been changed in order for him to cope up with the settlement. In this instance, his credit history could spell a foreboding sign to various other loan providers that the borrower doesn't really have the full capacity to pleasantly pay his finances. This is exactly how a home loan modification impacts the credit history.
However, it ought to be kept in mind that customers that enters into home loan alteration implies they are attempting their best just to be able to deal up with the settlements and also unlike those who simply let the customers takes their residences with foreclosing, these individuals are still taken into consideration possible by some lending institutions and therefore are not a danger to the loan provider. So although home loan modifications schemes can be the basis for some lending institutions to seriously think about giving lendings for some consumers, there are still several lending institutions that offer loan possibilities to these people.
Structure Back Reputation from Bad Credit Report Loans
Smart, truthful and also seasoned mortgage loaners understand that despite the adverse results of home loan modifications on their credit history, they could still come back on course as well as build their reputation once more. They recognize that as long as they could prove they are most going to enhance and also alter their situation to construct a far better credit history, loan providers would certainly discover it simple to find to a specific deal with them. Likewise, loan providers would not conveniently surrender on consumers that they recognize are truthful payers so they typically look at the credit rating of the borrowers as well as inspect if there was a background of home loan alteration and how the debtor did taken care of to pay.
So if you believe you ought to simply leave your the home of foreclosure because you can not deal up with the home loan settlement, you have to not lose hope. On a specific degree, you can ask the lender that he will certainly consider you to undertake home loan adjustment scheme. You need to not be refuted with this scheme because this is among your rights. However, as pointed out, you should certify first for this sort of modification. Search the internet on how to qualify and also offer this to your lending institution. If you wish to recognize concerning the benefits of home loan adjustment programs and how you can keep an excellent credit report score, you could get in touch with a legal representative about this. You will certainly be led well and also will be oriented on ways to avoid repossessions.
You can additionally look the internet as well as contrast among the best home loan adjustment companies which are more appropriate that can give you a much better paying chance when it come to your present financial standing. Nevertheless, constantly get in touch with a lawyer if you are uncertain just what you are going up to due to the fact that getting into a circumstance wherein you lose the capability to comply will actually provide you an actually bad credit report rating.

Jim Tressel OUT at OSU
It's official. On this Memorial day morning, Jim Tressel handed in his letter of resignation to school President E. Gordon Gee. This is a complete reversal from March 8, when Tressel said he never considered resigning. However, it had to happen. Tressel knew of his players selling memorabilia and autographs for tattoos before the 2010-11 season. Yet he allowed them to play the whole season, even though he knew their eligibility had been compromised. Then, when asked about it by the NCAA in December whether he knew of these actions, he lied and said no. The cover-up was the final nail in the coffin. How does this impact Michigan? Well, obviously Tressel meant a lot to the Buckeyes, as he was 9-1 against the Wolverines in "The Game." It will be interesting to see where OSU goes from here. They've already said that they will search for a new replacement after the upcoming 2011-12 season, where current assistant coach Luke Fickell will lead the program. No one knows what this season will bring for the Buckeyes, as they will be without their starting QB and RB, as well as some others, for the first five games of the season (admittedly, the very weak non-conference slate. They return when the Big Ten season begins). Will there be players who transfer? Will any other revelations come out? And what will the NCAA meeting in August do to OSU? OSU could very well have wins vacated, be put on probation, and lose scholarships. Or, none of that could happen. But either way, an era has ended in Columbus, and now no one knows what will happen next.

He obviously didn't frown upon players breaking the rules. Whether the rules are right or not is another matter. But OSU should definitely get a more severe punishment than USC, the NCAA needs to show these schools that they aren't messing around.

In my personal opinion Jim Tressel should have been out long time ago, but I do not know why they kept him, it was insane!

The Charlotte Bobcats stopped by the Energy Solutions Arena last night. I took my boys with me to see the game. Hubby was sure we would all snooze through it. In fact, I gave him the tickets for his birthday in December thinking it was a great idea. Something he couldn't take back, exchange of give to charity. The perfect gift for someone who has everything. He loves the Jazz, I love the Jazz and I really love seeing them at the ESA. BUT..he kept saying his nose was bleeding, (and I hadn't even hit him for being a brat) he kept saying he could actually see the players on TV and his couch was much more comfortable than the ugly green chairs we were sitting on.
So, we were prepared for a boring wipe out of a game.
Here are Cole and Alex scraping their heads on the ceiling! Alex is trying to get out of the picture. What a weirdo!

Randall Myers
Board Member since: 2006
Current Term: 2018-2020
Coming to the District from Philadelphia with a lot of time on his hands about 20 years ago, Randall brought a consistent adoration and respect for biking since riding his "Big Wheel" into the ground. Coming to the District to earn a Masters of Public Administration from American University, he made futile attempts to purchase and ride less-than-stellar department store bikes. After a few years of working as a budget analyst in Montgomery County and the District, he heard about the 2002 Tour de Friends ride from coworkers who happened to be members of Brother to Brother Sister to Sister United (BBSSU), a cycling team that works to educate and prevent the spread of HIV / AIDS in the District. After cycling with and then later becoming vice-president of BBSSU, he began his slow and continuing ride toward cycling education and advocacy. He has since been asked to be chair of the Pedestrian / Wheel committee of the Children's National Medical Center DC Injury Prevention Coalition: Injury Free Coalition for Kids – DC.

Mark Blacknell
Board Member since: 2011
Current Term: 2017-2019
Mark has been a DC area resident and cyclist since moving to Arlington in 1997. Looking for options beyond sitting on the Roosevelt Bridge during rush hour, he soon bought a bike to ride to Foggy Bottom. Since then, he's made the slow and steady progression over the years to cycling as his primary means of transportation (ending up with a house full of bikes in the process). Deciding to move beyond the personal evangelization of cycling and get more involved in advocating for improved infrastructure and conditions, he joined the Arlington Bicycle Advisory Committee (ABAC). Since then, he has worked with the ABAC to encourage Arlington County to promote a broad public agenda of facilitating safe cycling for everyone in Arlington. While personally a vehicular cyclist, he's a supporter of bike facilities that accommodate all kinds of riders. Off the bike, he's a DC lawyer whose practice focuses primarily on media and communications clients. When not representing clients, he pursues his interest in travel and photography. In a happy combination of everything, he regularly shoots pro cycling races for a variety of outlets.

"Laura was very nice and knows to how to bond with a dog quickly. Thank you!"
HI Everyone my name is Laura, and I share my life with my little maltipoo Emmy, whom I rescued several years ago. I love my furbaby and would enjoy the opportunity to love on yours as well. I volunteered for a dog rescue group back in Ohio before I moved here, and fostered several doggies for them as well, before I fell head over heels for Emmy and adopted her from them. Emmy and I love our walks (the more the merrier), so I thought why not extend those to others. I hope you will give me the opportunity to love and taker care of yours. Thank you.
"Laura was very nice and knows to how to bond with a dog quickly. Thank you!"
"Thanks so much for taking care of Cooper and for the detailed report. We really appreciate it. Cooper looks forward to seeing you soon!"
"Laura was great and had a great vibe and energy ! We are looking forward to future walks with panda !!! "
"Laura was very patient with Onyx. She went out of her way to try different tricks to warm up to her. Onyx is very close to us and doesn't socialize as much as she should. I'm very impressed and satisfied with Laura's approach. I think she and Onyx are off to a good start. Thank you Laura, it was great meeting you. "
Montrose, New York is a community in the town of Cortlandt in Westchester County. This charming hamlet is found near the Hudson River and is full of tree-lined hills and steep, rolling terrain that makes for the pawfect view at sunset. Montrose has no animal hospitals in town, but there are a few in neighboring towns just 15 to 20 minutes away. Dog owners enjoy the openness that living in Montrose gives them to explore and enjoy the sights and sounds of the natural beauty around them. Their dogs aren't complaining, either. You will find plenty of places to run and explore in Montrose with your dog as your trusty sidekick!
Make sure if you are visiting Montrose that you keep your pup safely on leash and you have your rabies tag with you. You will also want to make sure you have plenty of spare waste bags in your pocket for emergencies. Most of the land is privately owned here, and the residents take pride in their spaces. You will find both single-family homes and stunning apartment complexes that welcome dogs. You will find breed restrictions are common for rental properties in Montrose, so be prepared when searching for properties.
North Montrose is a beautiful neighborhood just minutes from the highway. You will find this neighborhood is popular with commuters, as the easy access to the freeway tends to give them a few extra precious moments with their dogs before leaving for work each morning. North Montrose is just a short drive from Blue Mountain Park to the north, if you and your dog enjoy hiking. You can pack a harness for your dog, plenty of water, waste bags to keep the trails clean, and some snacks and treats for the journey before heading out for a pupperific day of outdoor adventures.
West Montrose is a quiet neighborhood that rests right on the edge of the Hudson River. You will find many dog walkers exploring the shoreline here, so be prepared to help your dog learn to make new friends during the busy warmer months. Tourists and visitors are also a common sight here, so be sure to pay attention to your dog's signals when being approached by new people. You will find most of the time you spend on the shore will be watching your dog splash and sniff his day away without a care in the world, until he spots a squirrel!
Central Montrose is where you will find easy access to the Montrose Point State Forest. If your dog enjoys hikes through the wooded areas, this park is a puptastic place to visit on a Saturday morning with your other dog loving pals. You can take the whole crew on a morning hike through varied terrain, or stay on the marked paths for less impact. A harness is recommended if you plan on going far off the path. Make sure you pack plenty of water for you and your pup, and bring a collapsible bowl for easy packing without extra weight. You will also want to bring dog treats and snacks for yourself in case you get hungry along the way.
East Montrose is another neighborhood popular with commuters. Its proximity to the highway makes it an easy choice for busy humans who don't want to waste too much time when their pup is home waiting for them after work! Make sure you grab plenty of waste bags on your way out the door with your dog, as most of the sidewalks are shared with lots of other dogs. Keeping the sidewalks and green patches clean for everyone is part of being a pupperific neighbor, after all! You may want to make some time on the weekends to explore the small green spaces in between housing developments here, whether you walk around them or relax on a blanket with your pup and a good book.
South Montrose is just minutes from George's Island, which makes a great getaway spot for dog walkers who need some space away from the busy streets and highways. You will find the short drive to George's Island Park more than worth it when you see your pup's face light up. You will need a good leash and plenty of clean-up bags for a trip to this park. You may also want to bring a blanket and some towels for relaxing and cleaning up your dog after any splashtastic adventures in the nearby river. Don't forget your waste bags so you can help keep the park clean.

Review by David Fisher
IN DEPTH (scroll down to obtain brief overview)
And after finding Amazon sold it had to have £35 less in contrast with major UK companies, I decided to shop it online through Androgyne. It came quite promptly via courier.
I must say, fundamental first look impressions were really are OK, the Samsung UE40EH5000 has a very small border around the TV- in the region of 1cm, had a important back to a 'modern' TELLY (especially where LED's should be much slim, I have seen senior models of diet regime TV more slim than this! It is not easy to believe awesome 'new when it comes to 2012'.
It provides 'joystick'-like decrease function on the bottom- click on in to bring up operate off options (only carries stand-by) push left or directly to control volume, click on forward and back to decrease channels. It has quite a few HD channels- BBC 1 HI-DEF, ITV1 HD and Direct 4 HI-DEF.
As a beginner, It is running back an old ariel i really can't rate my Samsung UE40EH5000's picture quality as determined by the quality using the TV. I think very pixelated in my experience, however with multiple occurrences with other semi-decent Televesion's tested on a ariel, apparently, that the TELLY quality is good. Anyway i tested it with my Samsung korea blu-ray player, in the experience can emit good voice, rather than it audible 'tinny' as which other remarks on stated about similar equipment. The image is essential good. Get in touch with select a certainly theme to view in the experience in- the 'Movie' approach theme is probably the a lot of life like as others give the impression of being too vivid- explaining on screen images as full-size pink blurs. You have got only one SCART additionally 2 HDMI slots at the back of it. The booth is quite flimsy- wasnt some kind of metal one like others, attempt to avoid pick up in the experience from the front- in the experience will wobble laterally on a booth.
The over reacting time that the TV carries with the controlled extremely good, probably the basic LED/LCD TV I have noticed before.
Female, If I came up with decent ariel Im definitely with Samsung's top-quality- the look would be great- just like seen currency my Digital versatile player. It was quite an cheap for a decent construct. It was quite unwanted flab in depth- around 10cm extensive at its largest step. Sound of the Samsung korea UE40EH5000 is great for that LED/LCD TV. Good device and speed most typically associated with menu's. Overall are 4 hollywood. With a thinner motif, perhaps with rounded blades complementing its thin bordered motif, it would generally be a half a dozen.

The first draft of the Peacemakers is finished! I have begun editing and the book is on target to be finished by August. I am very happy with how the book is going and think it is far superior to Olympus Rises. Although the first book is still something I am quite happy with, the next book is far more ambitious and epic in tone. I hope it lives up to expectations!

This bioengineering-radiology-neurosurgery partnership aims to further develop and test the clinical utility of a novel method for non-invasive measurement of intracranial compliance (ICC) and intracranial pressure (ICP). These important neurophysiologic parameters are measured using dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flows to and from the brain. The feasibility of this new technique is demonstrated using phantoms, computer simulations, non-human primate animal model, healthy volunteers, and small number of patients. Noninvasive quantification of these parameters is potentially important for improved diagnosis and treatment of several neurological problems. In this proposal we aim to demonstrate the potential clinical utility of a noninvasive ICC measurement to study a relatively common and poorly understood neurological problem, Chiari Malformations (CM) (associated with downward displacement of the cerebellar tonsils into the spinal canal). Some evidence suggests that ICC plays an important role in the pathophysiology of this disorder. However, because of increased risk of brain herniation associated with invasive ICC measurements in these patients, intracranial compliance has not been measured previously. Noninvasive ICC measurement in CM may help explain the pathophysiology and will potentially improve the diagnosis and treatment of this debilitating disorder. Moreover, since MRI is already used to diagnose CM, it would be practical to add the additional scan to obtain the ICC measurement noninvasively. While intracranial compliance quantifies the ability of the intracranial compartment to accommodate increase in volume (e.g., brain swelling) without a large increase in pressure, it is ICP that is more widely used clinically. Our MRI-based measurement of ICP relies on the inverse relationship between ICC and ICP. We propose further validations of a strong linear correlation we found between MR-ICP and invasively measured ICP in 9 patients. The proposed validations are an essential step before the method can become clinically acceptable and the potentially high diagnostic value of a noninvasive MR-ICP can be assessed in other neurological problems. The developmental components of the proposal aim at improving the MRI data acquisition scheme and at shortening overall scan time, primarily for increased measurement reliability by multiple sampling of ICP and for allowing dynamic measurements of ICP. The proposed developmental work also aims to improve measurements of total cerebral blood flow (tCBF), a byproduct of the MR-ICP measurement, by normalizing for the subject's total brain tissues volumes and weights. Preliminary results demonstrated lesser inter-individual variability of the normalized tCBF measurement.

Our football match prediction:
Fulham will be aiming to make amends for a 2-1 loss to Aston Villa when they welcome Bolton Wanderers at their Craven Cottage. The 2017/2018 Championship season has been a mixed bag for the Cottagers to date and, as a result they sit in 10th place in the standings. The club chiefs, though, have faith in Serbian tactician Slavisa Jokanovic and the capital club are widely expected to find their best form soon. Fulham are undefeated in previous four home games in the league and it is no surprise they are regarded as favourites to win Saturday's football match against the Trotters. Following a 2-1 win over Sheffield Wednesday, Bolton played out a 1-1 draw with Queens Park Rangers, but they have yet to escape the relegation zone. The newcomers failed to score in last five away games in the Championship and we predict that Fulham will return to winning ways this weekend.
Highlighted Player (Tim Ream):
After ending his college career at Saint Louis Billikens, Timothy Ream began playing for Chicago Fire at senior level. Speaking of his professional debut, the American footballer played the full 90 mins in New York Red Bulls' opening match of the 2010 MLS season. On September 11, 2010 Tim Ream scored his first MLS goal in a 3-1 victory over Colorado Rapids. The USA defender made 58 appearances in the league for the Red Bulls and in 2012 he moved to Europa to sign a contract with Bolton Wanderers. Tim Ream signed a three-and-a-half year deal with the club and he made his debut for Bolton in a 2-0 FA Cup win over Millwall on February 18, 2012. In 2015 Ream moved to Fulham and he has been playing for the capital club ever since. The footballer, who wears No. 13 on his shirt at Fulham, made his debut for the USA national soccer team on November 17, 2010, in a 1-0 victory over South Africa.
Highlighted Team (Bolton Wanderers):
Bolton Wanderers were formed as Christ Church Football Club back in 1874 and three years later they adopted their current name. The Trotters currently compete in the Championship and they play their home games at Macron Stadium, which was opened in 1997. Speaking of the club's trophies, Bolton Wanderers won the FA Cup on four occasions (1923, 1926, 1929 and 1958), but they have yet to win the Premier League title. The Trotters were producing splendid displays in the 2003/2004 Premier League campaign, with the team finishing the season in eighth position in the standings, which is regarded as the club's best result in the English top flight. Bolton did well to reach the UEFA Cup knockout stages in the 2007/2008 season; the English outfit eliminated Atletico Madrid in the two-legged tie, but Sporting Lisbon eventually proved to be a big catch for the Trotters. Nigeria international Jay-Jay Okocha is one of the most notable footballers who played for Bolton and he scored 14 goals in 124 appearances in the league for the club. Bury are considered the club's fiercest rivals.

Chandigarh: Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee President Capt Amarinder Singh on Thursday asked Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal to sack Revenue Minister Bikram Singh Majithia to convey a strong message that lawlessness will not be tolerated in the state.
He also asked Director General of Police (DGP) Sumedh Singh Saini to take a clear stand for his police force as it was getting demoralised with the events taking place every day in Punjab.
Addressing a press conference at the Punjab Congress headquarters here, the former Chief Minister said that the denial mode of the government notwithstanding, the law and order in the state was worse and warned that such situations were always taken advantage of by the extremist elements.
The former Chief Minister said Badal was experienced enough to realise the intensity and the seriousness of the situation with the `Bikram Sena` (Bikram`s supporters) going on rampage.
He said questioned as to how an ASI was murdered in Amritsar and an AIG was brutally assaulted in Ludhiana by Bikram`s men.
He said it was high time Badal sacked Majithia before he pushes the state towards anarchy.
Referring to Monday night`s incident in Ludhiana where an AIG SS Mand was "brutally manhandled" by a "close aide" of Bikram Majithia, Capt Amarinder said the government particularly the Deputy Chief Minister was still saying that he had not been beaten up but had suffered a fracture as he had slipped.
The former Chief Minister warned against demoralising the police force and stated that DGP Saini must take a stand for his people.

Meanwhile, back in Romania, they have a Presidential election this coming Sunday.
If it was down to the number of posters, Mircea Geoana would win by a mile. But Alin assures me the present incumbent ( Basescu) will be the winner.
" You see, Mr. King, it's like this. If you are Coca Cola, you don't doing much advertising. But if you are Sighisoara Cola, then you must doing much advertising just to get little business."
I'm not 100% sure his argument is valid, but all the other candidates names end in "escu" .There are cases of mothers forcing their daughters into marriages with men just because their name ended in "escu". For some reason you are regarded as an important person. In fact, I was recently introduced as "Learescu" just to make the point...
The weather here is beautiful and warm - 17C today and the most brilliant blue sky. There is the odd wisp of smoke as the gloaming sets in, rising straight up, which is very picturesque.
This is the time of year when the ploughing has to be done so we spent most of today checking that the people doing it were in the right places. It's surprising how often our next door neighbours get their fields ploughed for free...
We went to the Mayor for a cup of coffee and ended up having special sausages made from goat and pig. I was slightly suspicious so we went to check on our goats to make sure it was only the sheep that the teethy wolves were eating. It looks as though the teethy wolves have been adding goats rather than subtracting them, as instead of 58 we now have 62 ( as far as I can calculate the absolute absolute maximum should be 56 and that's stretching it a bit), and all, I am assured, are pregnant. I find this a little hard to believe as it's only now that the billys are let lose on them, but we shall see, as Alin would say. We needed to build an additional shelter to house the new lot of kids, and this has been a major undertaking, with advice from everyone in the village as to exactly where it should be built.Also which way round. And how big, long, wide, high and of what. And what the party should be like when it is finished.
Whilst all this was going on the goat man , Dan and his two helpers had been quietly working away, and I was astonished to see a whole new building within 50 feet of the old one when I arrived there today.
I asked how much it had cost.
" Nothing," said Dan. Being Romania, this had not surprised me as much as it ought to have done.
It transpired the uprights and roof trusses had been donated by the forest man, in exchange for a goat and a pig. The roof was old metal sheets salvaged from cutting up a redundant water tank. The sides had been built using reclaimed block and bricks from various building sites round about. And of course the cement, sand nails etc. had simply appeared..
Now bearing in mind we don't actually have any pigs ( we ate ours this time last year), and it would mean we should only have 55 goats, and however you care to look at it most of the stuff was - how shall I put this delicately - stolen - I was a bit worried about the whole thing.
Dan assured me it was fine. Everyone who "donated" had been compensated. How? He had given them baby goats...and some sheep.
So my goat man steals sheep from my shepherd.
And the goats appear to have some form of alien reproduction as when we counted up the number of people who had been compensated, I reckon the most I should have is 48......
You may be wondering about the pig as officially we don't have any. I'm reliably informed it had wandered into the goat pen and was then passed on to a third party...

Any gamers old enough to remember the days of the ZX Spectrum will no doubt hold the humble machine close to their hearts. In these modern times of high-speed broadband and nanotechnology, you'd be hard pressed to find a pocket calculator packing less than 16KB RAM, but the Speccy was the pinnacle of home entertainment in its day. The 8-bit system and its various iterations enjoyed a successful ten-year lifecycle that yielded a vast library of memorable games, though few were as significant as Software Projects' 1984 offering Jet Set Willy.
Designed by the enigmatic Matthew Smith, the game was a sequel to his hugely successful platformer Manic Miner. Many of the same principals resided at its core - namely the simplistic run and jump mechanics and colourful graphics engine - though the follow-up was considered a significant leap forward for the genre due to its sheer size. Unlike its predecessor, which consisted of multiple stages with single-room layouts, Jet Set Willy offered players an enormous mansion to explore. There were 60 rooms to discover, all containing bizarre creatures, hazards, collectible items and mind-boggling jumps.
They storyline picked up after a huge party had ravaged protagonist Willy's mansion. Items were left strewn around his abode and the housekeeper Maria refused to let him sleep off the events of the previous evening until the place had been tidied. Thus began one of the most surreal cleaning operation we'll ever witness. Flying pigs and dancing rabbits might sound like the outtakes from Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas, but they are in fact some of the least outlandish creatures that Willy crossed paths with during his quest, which should give you an idea of the level of bizarreness on offer here.
Core gameplay was incredibly simplistic compared to today's standards, though it was the norm for a game of this manner at the time of release. Only three buttons were required to play, left and right directional keys and a jump button. However, more than a modicum of thought was required to negotiate each room. Most screens had multiple enemies sporting troublesome movement patterns as well as numerous hazards to avoid. The utmost precision was required when timing each jump, and reaching the items that Willy was ordered to gather took much trial and error. Luckily, the game was courteous enough to provide the player with a fair crop of extra lives, though this was counterbalanced by the fact that there was no health bar and one false move brought instant death.
Experienced players soon had every room mapped out in their heads, each enemy's movement pattern memorised and the location of the items noted down. However, at the time of release, this was not enough to complete the game as glitches made such a feat impossible. A collection of technical flaws collectively known as 'The Attic Bug' made the original edition of Jet Set Willy impossible to finish. Upon entering the mansion's loft area, a number of its other rooms were corrupted, some of them triggering instant death and thus becoming impassible. Software Projects initially claimed that The Attic was full of poisonous gas and the changes its exploration brought were intentional, although the studio later came clean and issued a series of POKEs to rectify the issues.
As anyone with basic programming skills soon discovered, it was relatively easy to create customised rooms and sprites for Jet Set Willy. This issue came to light when Your Spectrum magazine published a hacker's guide to the game. In the ensuing years, several third-party editing packages were distributed, enabling those with the technical know-how to build customised versions of the title. The volume of new content that was exchanged between friends makes Jet Set Willy the LittleBigPlanet of its day, in a sense. Had there been any kind of internet back then, the possibilities would have been endless. A thriving mod community helped the game endure over the years, albeit underground. Several free-to-play java editions still exist online for anyone looking for some nostalgic kicks.
So how well does Jet Set Willy hold up today? Needless to say, it has a very archaic feel about it and the experience is still spoiled by some bugs and glitches, yet the gameplay remains capable of bringing some minimalist entertainment. As this is essentially gaming's equivalent of the hoop and stick, younger players are unlikely to see what all the fuss was about back in 1984, but for anyone who was around when it came out, it's always worth revisiting as a reminder of how far we've come. With many retro games receiving a new lease of life via mobile platforms and online storefronts, isn't it about time Miner Willy was given a minor resurgence too?
Do you have any fond memories of Jet Set Willy? Add a comment in the space below!

Sadly I am a pretty sporadic blogger (classic car ownership is to blame), but again I am driven to add my feeble voice to the case brought by the British Chiropractic Association against Simon Singh. I have known Simon for a couple of years, and been impressed not just by his searing intellect, but by his rock solid integrity. As half the world seems to know, the BCA is suing Simon for the following article which appeared in The Guardian newspaper last year.
You might be surprised to know that the founder of chiropractic therapy, Daniel David Palmer, wrote that "99% of all diseases are caused by displaced vertebrae". In the 1860s, Palmer began to develop his theory that the spine was involved in almost every illness because the spinal cord connects the brain to the rest of the body. Therefore any misalignment could cause a problem in distant parts of the body.
In fact, Palmer's first chiropractic intervention supposedly cured a man who had been profoundly deaf for 17 years. His second treatment was equally strange, because he claimed that he treated a patient with heart trouble by correcting a displaced vertebra.
You might think that modern chiropractors restrict themselves to treating back problems, but in fact some still possess quite wacky ideas. The fundamentalists argue that they can cure anything, including helping treat children with colic, sleeping and feeding problems, frequent ear infections, asthma and prolonged crying – even though there is not a jot of evidence.
I can confidently label these assertions as utter nonsense because I have co-authored a book about alternative medicine with the world's first professor of complementary medicine, Edzard Ernst. He learned chiropractic techniques himself and used them as a doctor. This is when he began to see the need for some critical evaluation. Among other projects, he examined the evidence from 70 trials exploring the benefits of chiropractic therapy in conditions unrelated to the back. He found no evidence to suggest that chiropractors could treat any such conditions.
But what about chiropractic in the context of treating back problems? Manipulating the spine can cure some problems, but results are mixed. To be fair, conventional approaches, such as physiotherapy, also struggle to treat back problems with any consistency. Nevertheless, conventional therapy is still preferable because of the serious dangers associated with chiropractic.
In 2001, a systematic review of five studies revealed that roughly half of all chiropractic patients experience temporary adverse effects, such as pain, numbness, stiffness, dizziness and headaches. These are relatively minor effects, but the frequency is very high, and this has to be weighed against the limited benefit offered by chiropractors.
More worryingly, the hallmark technique of the chiropractor, known as high-velocity, low-amplitude thrust, carries much more significant risks. This involves pushing joints beyond their natural range of motion by applying a short, sharp force. Although this is a safe procedure for most patients, others can suffer dislocations and fractures.
Worse still, manipulation of the neck can damage the vertebral arteries, which supply blood to the brain. So-called vertebral dissection can ultimately cut off the blood supply, which in turn can lead to a stroke and even death. Because there is usually a delay between the vertebral dissection and the blockage of blood to the brain, the link between chiropractic and strokes went unnoticed for many years. Recently, however, it has been possible to identify cases where spinal manipulation has certainly been the cause of vertebral dissection.
Laurie Mathiason was a 20-year-old Canadian waitress who visited a chiropractor 21 times between 1997 and 1998 to relieve her low-back pain. On her penultimate visit she complained of stiffness in her neck. That evening she began dropping plates at the restaurant, so she returned to the chiropractor. As the chiropractor manipulated her neck, Mathiason began to cry, her eyes started to roll, she foamed at the mouth and her body began to convulse. She was rushed to hospital, slipped into a coma and died three days later. At the inquest, the coroner declared: "Laurie died of a ruptured vertebral artery, which occurred in association with a chiropractic manipulation of the neck."
This case is not unique. In Canada alone there have been several other women who have died after receiving chiropractic therapy, and Edzard Ernst has identified about 700 cases of serious complications among the medical literature. This should be a major concern for health officials, particularly as under-reporting will mean that the actual number of cases is much higher.
If spinal manipulation were a drug with such serious adverse effects and so little demonstrable benefit, then it would almost certainly have been taken off the market.
Now this version has been slightly sanitised, because a man sitting on a bench in 18th century costume decided on the meaning of certain words, in disregard for the actual meaning which Simon explained in the article. He then twisted the knife in the wound by refusing leave to appeal. Now Simon has had his request to overturn that refusal refused by another fancy dress artist, despite some 13,000 people signing up to a statement requesting reform of the English libel laws. One is driven to consider whether the courts are being vindictive.
Well there are far more eloquent advocates for Simon than I, so I will leave this piece with a challenge for the BCA. I charge its officers with selectively citing `evidence' in support of spurious claims for the efficacy of chiropractic for colic, sleeping and feeding problems, frequent ear infections, asthma and prolonged crying. There are no absolutes in science, and it's very well established as to what is solid evidence in health care. The stuff that the BCA described as a `plethora' is not, and they can sue me if they want. Me and the other 50-odd bloggers out there.
Simon has made it very clear as to what he meant by `a jot of evidence', and I am going to do the same. A `jot' is not a case report or even several case reports. Neither is it a poor quality trial. These are not `jots of evidence' because they tell us nothing. In dramatic contrast, the best quality evidence about for example chiropractic in asthma tell us that……yes you guessed it, it does absolutely nothing at all. Yet these self same high quality trials were not included when the BCA published its `plethora of evidence' – which was comprehensively demolished in the BMJ.
I am not going to accuse the BCA of deliberately lying, because I don't know what goes on in their fuzzy heads. I am saying that, as self-proclaimed health care professionals, they have a duty to know what evidence is, and to present it fairly. They are clearly not doing that, but whether they are misleading by accident or design I will leave you to decide.
