from Neal Kindree
It is with great regret I have decided to withdraw from Canada Cup #3 in Hardwood Hills, Ontario.
Earlier this year, while training, I experienced a very sharp and painful tearing sensation under the lateral facet of my right patella. Ever since, my knee has given me varying degrees of discomfort and has an audible 'click' upon extension.
Early season training went well, however, as I increased intensity to prepare for competition the problem began to manifest itself and I had difficultly maintaining my training program.
X-rays of my knee revealed very little. And an MRI only left the Orthopaedic surgeons guessing. A combination of Physio, Chiro, and Massage therapy has helped but has not resolved the problem. Five years ago I suffered a complete vertical fracture on the lateral side of my right patella. There is speculation, among the specialists, that my problem may be a loose fragment of scar tissue from this previous injury. Arthroscopic surgery later this year will confirm if this is, in-fact, the case.
My decision to withdraw is disappointing but I am confident that it is the right thing to do at this time. I will be flying home this evening and taking some time to better evaluate my situation. I wish everyone the best of luck at Hardwood.

Given a Brownian Motion $B_t$ is it possible to reconstruct it from the knowledge of the local times $L^x_t$ ?
Using occupation time formula this would mean solving for some $f$ the following equation :
$$B_t=\int_{-\infty}^{+\infty}f(x)L^x_t.dx=\int_0^t f(B_s)ds$$
This seems achievable but I couldn't find out the solution or prove that there is none.
By the way, if someone can achieve this reconstruction of $B_t$ from $L^x_t$ using some other device than the occupation formula I would be equally interested.
Best regards

In the untamed wilderness that is the mind's eye of Thomas Dunne (Brian Dennehy), a faded public figure does battle with the truculent decisions of his past. A patient in a mental home in Baltinglass, Ireland, Dunne is often chided for his boisterous outburst, for which he is either beaten into silence by orderly Smith (James Lancaster) or lured into calmness by nurse Mrs. O'Dea (Mary-Pat Green) and promises of a new suit with gold thread. Barring visitations from the home staff, which seem to be limited to meal times and administering disciplinary measures, Dunne is left to teeter between memory and delusion, day in, day out.
As the local constable in a small town, Dunne's job as the commander of the Dublin Metropolitan Police made him the Irish man presenting / protecting British interests on Irish soil, and subsequently a less than popular figure in his Irish community. His career with the DMP bore heavily on his three daughters – painfully practical, hump-back Annie (Abby Wilde), the oldest Maud (Kalen Harriman), and the youngest and most beloved of the three Dolly (Carmela Corbett).
The burden of being Dunne's daughters weighs heavily on all of the and in every remembrance; the eldest and youngest are each scheming to find a way to lead. Dunne also frequently mourns the lost of his only son Willie (Grant Palmer), whom he sees as a child outfitted in World War I combat gear.
Annie is the only daughter who actually comes to visit Dunne in the institution. Beyond that, the old man is doomed to his part in Ireland's tumultuous era of civil war and unrest, pleading his case to the shadows in his mind.
The Steward of Christendom is an extremely difficult story to follow. Sticking with the protagonist through his rambling monologues would challenge the patience of the most devoted Dennehey fan. The disjointed delirium through which most of the story plays out contains some wonderful imagery for lacks the basic element of any drama: a question. What do these character want? What should the audience want for them?
The play undoubtedly sheds light on a little known person from Irish history. The story engages an uncomfortable yet familiar family dynamic - between siblings and between father and children. Yet there is no hint of genuine affection from the children, nor any clear reason for their lack of devotion. Contrastly, there is no reason why adult children should stay their aging parent, especially since they are ultimately ill-equip to manage the encroaching mental illness.
Beyond a family history, there really is no point of entry for those who are not predisposed to have a historical interest. There is no clear protagonist because no one in this story Is especially likable. We have pity for Dunne, but that is largely fueled by a sense of obligation that he is losing his battle with mental illness.
There is definite poetry and wonderfully lyrical moments buried in the disjointed monologues of The Steward of Christendom, for which playwright Sebastian Barry is to be congratulated. Likewise, Brian Dennehy takes on the herculean task of tackling the lengthy two-act work, delivering nearly a dozen monologues that are both textually and emotional challenging. However, for me, the show was a task of endurance and tenacity, rather than an evening of entertainment or enlightenment.

TIGERVILLE, S.C. – Sophomore Tyler Gaby collected a team-best five hits during the Tornado's Saturday doubleheader against North Greenville, helping his team in a clean weekend sweep. King outlasted the Crusaders in 11 innings, 5-4, and brought out the brooms with a 4-2 victory in game two.
GAME ONE: King 5, North Greenville 4 (F/11)
Cody Snyder served as the hero for game one, driving home the eventual game-winning run on a two-out single. Garrett Cook (Luray, Va.) reached on a fielding error by NGU first baseman Logan Craig and advanced to second when Shane Timberlake was hit by a Allen Staton pitch. With two outs, the Bluff City, Tenn., native stepped to the plate and ripped a single to right. Cook jumped on his horse and beat the throw to the plate to go ahead of the Crusaders, 5-4.
Wesley Houser (Knoxville, Tenn.), entering his third full inning of work, faced the top of the North Greenville lineup but sat them down in order by forcing a fly out, strike out, and a ground out. Houser (W, 6-4) blew through the seven batters he faced and never let a runner past second base in 3.2 innings of work.
King scored all of its runs while batting with two outs, beginning with its first score of the game on Garrett Cook's RBI single in the second, scoring Josh Huffman who doubled just before.
After North Greenville tied the game, the Tornado posted a three-run eighth inning on three consecutive two-out, extra-base hits from the top of the order. Again with two outs, Tyler Gaby (Bristol, Tenn.) and Cody Snyder hit consecutive doubles. Snyder's two-bagger scored Gaby to take a 2-1 lead and set up Carl Roberts (Blountville, Tenn.). The sophomore first baseman hit his third home run of the season, a two-run job to put his team up 4-1.
The Crusaders responded with three runs in the home half of the eighth, tying the game and forcing extra innings. North Greenville hit three straight singles, moving station to station, to load the bases. Reiss Stanley (Lenoir City, Tenn.) struck out Allen Staton, but walked the next two batters allowing two runs to score. Houser entered and struck out Taylor Hollifield to begin his relief stint, but hit Markus Duckworth to allow the tying run to score and give Stanley a no-decision.
Gaby went 3-for-6 in game one with one run scored to lead the Tornado. Roberts' only hit was the team's most meaningful while also leading with two RBI. Huffman and Snyder also had multi-hit days, each posting two hits.
GAME TWO: King 4, North Greenville 2 (F/7)
King continued its timely hitting in game to, scoring each of the game's first four runs in the team's third win of the weekend.
After stranding runners in scoring position in their first three at bats, the Tornado pushed home a pair of runs in the fourth inning behind two hits and an error. Cook reached on an error for the second time of the day and advanced to second. Jarrod Payne (Johnson City, Tenn.) drove Cook home on a single, giving King a 1-0 lead. Bryant Walker drilled a run-scoring double to give the Tornado a two-run lead.
King returned in the sixth with two more runs to extend their lead to four. The Tornado loaded the bases after Brad Blanton was issued a leadoff walk followed by consecutive singles by Bryant Walker and Shane Timberlake. North Greenville reliever Griffin Spires tossed a wild pitch, allowing Blanton to score from third and advance Walker and Timberlake. Tyler Gaby pushed another insurance run across with a sac fly to center, scoring Walker and giving King a 4-0 lead.
Wesley Houser threw five strong innings, allowing only four hits over that time. The Crusaders gave a scare in the sixth when Derek Fulmer hit a two-run home run to half the lead, but the King bullpen held the lead intact . Dustin Pannell finished the sixth inning, forcing Andrew Lawrence to fly out. David Pritchard (Hamilton, Ohio) earned his second save of the season, entering after Pannell walked the leadoff man in the seventh and recording the next three outs in succession.
Tyler Gaby led the team with five hits during Saturday's doubleheader and three of hits were doubles. Wesley Houser threw a combined 9.1 innings and allowed only two runs over eight hits while striking out three.
With two wins on Saturday, King has now swept North Greenville as it recorded its first three wins against the Crusaders in its history. The Tornado now improve to 25-16 overall and are now 14-10 (.583) in conference play. They leap North Greenville for the second spot in the West Division and is now third overall, by league winning percentage. Six of the top seven teams are separated by no more than three games in the playoff chase.
The Tornado will play Belmont Abbey on April 20-21 in its last Conference Carolinas series of the season. They will play state-line rival Virginia Intermont on Wednesday, April 18, at Boyce Cox Field (Bristol, Va). First pitch is set for 6 p.m.

Twins beefing up security measures at Target Field
Set to host 2014 All-Star Game, club installing metal detectors at every gate
MINNEAPOLIS -- With the Twins set to host the All-Star Game on July 15, the club will implement increased security measures at Target Field this season.
The Twins are installing metal detectors at each of the five gates at Target Field, and team president Dave St. Peter is hopeful they'll all be up and running by June 1. Major League Baseball is mandating the club to have them ready by the All-Star Game, and every club must follow suit by Opening Day in 2015.
"It's a huge operational sea change," St. Peter said. "We have the advantage of being able to get it in early and get it phased in and learn a lot and educate not only our fans and our staff, but educate the people who are executing it, just to make sure that we're doing it in a safe way and a smart way, and frankly in a commonsensical way."
St. Peter added that fans will have their bags and backpacks searched before entering the park, and fans and employees will have to walk through metal detectors before entering the stadium. But the Twins don't have any plans to restrict what was previously allowed in the park such as water and food.
St. Peter said the club is working to find ways to keep lines short, and the security measures will be phased in starting on Opening Day.
The Twins have already purchased most of the equipment necessary for the increased security measures, and St. Peter said the costs are deep into seven figures.
"At the end of the day, it's all about fan safety," St. Peter said. "I'm not sure that's a bad thing. I think that's a good thing. The key for us is to make sure it doesn't impede anybody's experience in coming to a game. That's something we're going to take very, very seriously."

Mike Mazurki is the heavyweight champion of wrestlers turned actors. With his busted-up, deeply etched face, cauliflower ears and crooked nose, he turned years of getting beaten up for a living into an asset.
His success in Hollywood paved the way for many contemporaries to land roles in movies, taking time off from the rigors of the road. Without Mazurki, there would be no Rock carrying a picture.
"[Mazurki] was the first wrestler that really made a career out of it," acknowledged Howard "Pepper" Martin, who would also turn to acting during his wrestling career.
But his legacy is much more than just acting, or for that matter, wrestling. Mazurki, who died in 1990, left the wrestling world with the Cauliflower Alley Club, a not-for-profit fraternal organization of ex-wrestlers, actors, boxers and sundry other hangers-on. The center of CAC action in the early years of the 41-year-old organization was Mazurki's Baron's Castle Restaurant in Los Angeles' MacArthur Park. Once it outgrew his restaurant, it stayed closeby in Studio City, Calif., for many years.
It's his cauliflower ear on the CAC's logo, and he was the figurehead for the club for many years. The top honor in wrestling, the Iron Mike Mazurki Award, is handed out each year at the CAC banquet.
According to Maria Bernardi, a former woman wrestler turned secretary for the CAC in the nascent days of the club, Mazurki was "a big teddy bear, that's what he was. In all the years we ran that club, we only had one clash, and that was because somebody else caused it"
Born in the part of Austria-Hungary which is now known as Ukraine on December 25, 1907, Mikhail Mazuruski came to the United States as a child, and his parents settled in Cohoes, New York. He was not just a dumb jock, graduating near the top of his class at Manhattan College, from which he received a Bachelor of Arts in 1930. Mazurki studied law at Fordham University as well. He was also a talented football player, and played at college and semi-pro in New Jersey.
By the early 1930s, he'd turned to pro wrestling to make a buck.
"That was during the Depression and I could make 10 times a lawyer's salary wrestling," he told the Globe & Mail newspaper in 1970. "Remember I did the hard stuff, not the kind of wrestling you see today. I'd spend a couple of months a year in hospitals."
As a wrestler, the 6-foot-5, 240-pound Mazurki was a solid mid-carder who only occasionally rose to the very tops of the cards. He worked with all-time greats like Ray Steele, Gus Sonnenberg, Frank Sexton, Gene Kiniski, Strangler Lewis, Jim Browning, Mr. Moto, Lou Thesz, Jim Londos, Joe Savoldi, Man Mountain Dean and others during his career.
The Shanghai Gesture in 1941 is the film that he credits with the start of his acting career, though he was in 1935's Black Fury as well. Discovered wrestling in Los Angeles by director Josef von Sternberg, Mazurki was given a crack at a role in The Shanghai Gesture.
In a 1952 article with a Toronto newspaper to promote his appearance on stage (singing!) in Guys and Dolls, Mazurki recalled his skepticism.
"I am wrestling in Los Angeles and while I am in the dressing room later I am getting a note asking if I would be interested in a movie career. I am thinking the boys are playing a joke on me, and I am putting the note in my pocket because I am not going to be laughed at," he explained. "One my way out a guy comes up and asks if I received the note. He says he is Von Sternberg, who discovered Marlene Dietrich. I am asked to report to the studio next morning for an interview. I am still thinking it is a joke, but I decide to play along with the gag."
He got the gig, shaved his head to become a Chinese "coolie" on the docks, and traded lines ("You likee Chinese New Year?" with co-star Walter Huston.
If a star was not really born, or at least a memorable mug was launched.
Mazurki "used his oversized, rugged presence to good effect as Moosey in Dick Powell's Murder, My Sweet," wrote James Robert Parish in Hollywood Character Actors. "Typically cast as the faithful goon."
Katz's Film Encyclopedia seconded the typecasting: "His massive build and crude features led to his being typecast as a sharp-knuckled, dull-witted thug."
He had some very memorable roles on the big screen, including Splitface in Dick Tracy, and boxer Jake Kilrain in Gentleman Jim; he was a slave-trader in Cecil B. DeMille's Unconquered and a deaf mute in Spanish Main. Mazurki got the chance to rub shoulders with real Hollywood royalty too: Marilyn Monroe and Tony Curtis in Some Like It Hot, John Wayne in Donovan's Reef, and Abbott and Costello in Abbott and Costello in Hollywood. There were many television appearances too, including It's About Time, Charlie's Angels, Kung Fu, Gunsmoke, Mannix and The Chicago Teddy Bears.
Mazurki was even given a lead role in the 1975 kiddie nature-adventure feature Challenge to Be Free. ("Fur trapper is pursued by the law in Arctic surroundings; simple and simple-minded, best for younger viewers," reviewed Leonard Maltin.)
But as far as roles closest to the truth, it was Mazurki's take on Kay Kendall in Jules Dassin's 1950 film noir Night and the City that drew the best reaction. The flick is still among the best ever done on professional wrestling.
Mike Mazurki died in Glendale, California on December 11, 1990 at the Glendale Adventist Medical Center. He was 82 years old, and survived by his third wife Sylvia Weinblatt (whom he married in 1968) and daughters Mannette and Michelle from his second marriage to Jeanette Briggs.
Greg Oliver founded SLAM! Wrestling with John Powell way back in
1996, and has been writing about pro wrestling since 1985.

There are a number of items that you will need to decorate your Christmas tree. First, you will have to purchase a tree. You can decide on whether you would like to have a real or artificial tree. Then you should buy decorations and a Christmas tree Skirt. Most people are able to purchase a single tree skirt, and use it each year. The same goes for the decorations. It is more cost effective to use the same items each year. However, feel free to go shopping if you would like your tree to look different than it has been. There is a wide selection of tree skirts. You should take the time to find one that will look nice.

Pop superstar Cher found it "difficult" to turn down the chance to perform at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia because she has never been asked to appear as an ambassador for the U.S. The Believe hitmaker and gay icon recently revealed she had been asked by a friend to appear at the sporting event, but she declined the opportunity because she was not comfortable performing in a country where "propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations" is banned.
The Russian people that I know are great and don't agree with this (anti-gay legislation)
She tells E! News, "It was hard. I have so many Russian friends. I have lots of Russian fans and I have so many people there that I love... So that was difficult. "I wanted to, you know, no one's ever gonna ask me to come and either be the American ambassador or sing in the middle (of the Olympics) or do something in the opening, so it was hard, but also, you guys (gay fans) are my heart, you know, I can't do it...
"The Russian people that I know are great and don't agree with this (anti-gay legislation)... They just don't agree with it".
Cher isn't the only celebrity to speak out against the new legislation - Lady Gaga and Madonna used their shows in Russia last year (12) to condemn the ban and voice their support for the local lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community.
Meanwhile, pop singeractress Selena Gomez was forced to axe two concerts in Russia next week (begs23Sep13) after she was denied a visa.
The permit rejection was reportedly the result of a crackdown on the number of foreign musicians granted entry into the country after Gaga and Madonna's concert stunts.

It is simply untrue to assert that the funds managers of today face no risk. Yes, the money rolls in, and yes, the fees are raked out of our superannuation regardless of performance.
But funds managers do face risks that their teachers, nurses and other working folk clientele could only contemplate. For one, there is the haunting spectre of sustaining a stain on one's shirtfront while fine dining at an upmarket CBD nosherie.
Whether the greatest risk is posed by a splotch of ragu or of salsa alla marinara, who knows? It may even be truffle oil, or spillage from an oaky Barossa shiraz.
Lunching misadventures aside however, the risks are low and the fees inordinately high for the nation's investment institutions. Having recently highlighted the racket that is retail funds – the vertically integrated big bank wrap platforms that dominate the investment landscape and trot off with roughly 2 per cent of our super every year – it is time to look at the industry funds.
The fees are lower, therefore the returns higher. The latest figures from the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) show industry funds performed about 30 per cent better than retail over 10 years. It's not that they are superior money managers, they just charge lower fees.
But get this: industry funds place billions of dollars to invest with the retail funds anyway. Rather than just plonking this wholesale money in index or "passive" funds, a lot of it is awarded to active managers.
The irony is the active managers don't do any better than passive, they just charge more.
The other point is the operating expenses of the industry funds are on the rise.
The largest manager, Australian Super, has seen administration and operating expenses rise from $103 million in 2006 when it managed $28 billion and had 1.3 million members, to $214 million. (It now manages $65 billion and has 2 million members). That's a jump from $79 per member to $107 per member.
This tends to make a mockery of the case the industry funds put for their deregulation, that it would bring economies of scale; that is, more money, lower costs.
Transparency is also inadequate. Amid the glossy pictures of smiley happy people in its annual review there was a tiny mention of a $214 million cost for IT matters.
Botched IT projects and a big advertising spend are probably the two main culprits for increasing costs at the industry funds.
Even though they are apparently not-for-profit, they spend members' funds to advertise and thereby expand their pools of money. It is ironic that the more money under management, the harder it is to outperform the market.
So there is some unnecessary empire building going on.
Further to poorly disclosed IT cost blowouts, Superpartners – the joint venture between AustralianSuper, HOSTPLUS, HESTA, MTAA and Cbus – experienced a $130 million blowout and three-year delay last year, according to The Australian Financial Review. This year it was a $250 million blowout and four-year delay.
The retirement funds – AustralianSuper, HOSTPLUS, HESTA, MTAA and Cbus – recorded their investment in IT systems as an injection of equity capital in Superpartners, not as an expense.
As for transparency, there is no standard to which to adhere. Taking a look at the HESTA annual report for instance, it shows most of the money in Australian and international equities resides with active fund managers.
It doesn't break out active versus passive but passive would have to be less than 25 per cent since the only two domestic managers with any passive allocation are BlackRock and Industry Funds Management (the industry funds' fund manager).
The report doesn't provide any colour on the performance of the individual investment managers. Some of this information is available on the managers' websites (typically the ones who have done well). For other managers, it is difficult to find performance data anywhere.
It is a good thing fees charged by the industry funds are far lower than their retail counterparts. But they have their shockers, too.
The Orwellianly renamed Progress Super Fund (it used to be the Bookmakers Superannuation Fund) lost 8.7 per cent a year over the past five years versus the median fund return of 3.2 per cent.
It ought to take a good look at its investment management mandate (with a stockbroker in Melbourne). Excessive fees of 2.9 per cent a year were charged for its "balanced" option.

Tooling Update
Flatpack SteelFace Sensor Boasts Weld-Resistant Coating
Balluff, Florence, KY, introduces a flatpack version of its SteelFace sensors, with a one-piece stainless-steel housing, for stamping and welding applications that require something more compact than a tubular sensor. Its new patent-pending coating makes it an ideal choice for extreme applications.
SteelFace sensors are designed for error-proofing and part-present applications in heavy manufacturing, where inductive sensors are often—by necessity—placed directly in harm's . Impact, abrasion and particulate erosion can destroy conventional plastic-faced sensors and their thin metal bodies.
Additional features of the new flatpack SteelFace sensors:
• 5-mm operating distance (flush)
• Factor 1—All metals can be sensed
• Weld-slag-resistant coating
• Weld-field immune
• High switching frequency
• Rounded-corner housingBalluff: 800/543-8390; www.balluff.com

Mains, Alts, and Frost Emblems
A slim little blood elf slides into a chair with a glass of wine cupped daintily in one hand. She scatters a handful of small tokens onto the table in front of her: not money, but shining emblems glinting a silver-blue in spite of the dim, golden candle-light pervading the room.
"So," she says, sipping the sweet wine, "I'm considering what to buy first with them."
A tauren leans over from across the table to inspect the emblems. "Oooh, frost badges!" she exclaims, her eyes lighting up. She pushes aside the leather she had been knitting together from scraps. "How many are there? Primordial Saronite is 23 emblems apiece."
The elf pauses mid-sip, narrowing her emerald eyes in a sideways glare. Putting her nose disdainfully in the air, she carefully sets down her wine glass. "Oh no. No... I earned these emblems. I did. Why do you get them?"
The tauren is taken aback. "But... but I'm the main. It's for the good of the guild. The crafted boots are best-in-slot, there is no other I can get until Cataclysm's next set of dungeons!"
The blood elf sneers in disgust, wishing now that she hadn't told the young druid about her emblems. "I'm the ONLY rogue! Alt or no, I earned these badges, and you can spend your own damn badges on your precious Primordial Saronite. I feed the guild most of its saronite as it is, and titanium, too. Why do I have to give up MY badges for YOUR special saronites just to craft some dainty little healer boots?"
The druid sits back with a hurt pout. "I had to buy these gloves... this chest, these shoulders, this trinket. All to better myself, my healing, to keep everyone alive as we have faced off against Putricide, Lana'thel, Sindragosa, and the Lich King himself! I don't have the badges to buy the saronite needed for the boots, yet."
With a deep sigh and a roll of the eyes, the elf swirls the wine around in her glass, watching the blood-hued liquid as she ponders. "How many do you need?"
"Six," the druid winces.
The rogue shoots up in her seat, her blond hair bouncing in its ponytail. "SIX?! That's... that's 138 emblems! This is ridiculous... link me the pattern."
"I don't know the pattern yet...." The druid hunches up sheepishly. "One of the saronites is just to buy the pattern. I have the rep for it though," she adds hopefully.
The rogue looks up at the ceiling helplessly. "Lord! Okay, let me wowhead it... Pattern: Blessed Cenarion Boots?"
The druid nods.
"Five furs, too!" the rogue exclaims, looking at the pattern. "I suppose you'll be wanting me to farm those up for you, too? Sheesh."
"Well, you, ah, are the skinner..."
"Uh huh. What do I get in repayment for all of this? Eh?" the rogue asks, glaring.
It's the druid's turn to be indignant. "And just what are those bracers you're wearing? I could've kept them for my offkit, you know."
"One pair of bracers! Only cuz you might get a pair off of Miss Sindy the Undead Dargon once the feral gets his. Like I'll ever see her; I've been in what, one ICC10 pug? Ever?" The rogue scowls. "This is my life savings of emblems, and you want them all for yourself."
"You'd get a chance at loot and more badges," the druid snaps, "...if you tried to find more ICC10 pugs--" she cuts herself off suddenly, however, knowing the rogue had no personal control over her play time.
The two stare at each other in an awkward moment of silence. Finally, the rogue takes another sip of wine. "Stardance has gotten all the attention lately. VoA is the most I've seen in a long while... and all that shammy's good for is picking flowers and transmuting gems. Not that I, uh, mind her learning how to transmute Cardinal Rubies."
The druid nods knowingly. "Or making me Frostwyrm Flasks."
"She's not gotten her mastery yet, though."
"I know."
"The slacker."
Another awkward silence.
"So... erm..." the druid looks around the room uncomfortably. "What would you buy if not the saronites?"
The rogue stops as if caught in an unexpected hunter's flare. "Uhhh... well, that's what I was asking you for. Your offspec is feral, so you should have some idea of what a melee leather wearer would want, right?"
The druid sighs. "Well, I haven't exactly looked at the feral purchases, been focusing on my resto gear first. Plus, we have to consider what gear drops you have access to in PuGs... hold on, let me open up Rawr."
"Take your time," the rogue replies, leaning back in her seat and swirling her wine again.
"Ohh this is going to take some time all right," the druid answers, drumming her heavy fingers on the table. "How far do pugs get these days in ICC?"
"Er... well, I think the trade chat spam usually mentions stopping around Festergut/Rotface. I wouldn't put any bets past Saurfang though. Precious'll eat most raids. Puggers don't like wiping to trash."
The druid nods in solemn agreement, distracted as she peruses the gear lists. "So... belt you might could get in ICC... and neck... rings, one rep and one from Saurfang... how are your set bonuses? Worth getting?"
"Uhh..." the rogue responds. "We follow what, two rogue blogs? How should I know?"
"Maybe you should look into that," the tauren chides, smirking.
"Oh, come on! I'm the alt! She tried to gem me with feral armor pen before she remembered I use POISON."
Again, an awkward silence as both tauren and blood elf look quickly around the tavern, making sure the Mouse Cursor they shared wasn't around. It usually wasn't at this time of day, but there had always been exceptions.
"Okay, how about this..." the rogue suggests, "I buy the trinket for myself, and then get saronite for you with the rest?"
The druid scoffs. "That's 60 emblems... nearly 3 saronites! Half of what I need!"
"Yeah, and I earned them!"
"Why not get trinkets out of ToC25 and ICC10 pugs? Deathwhisper drops one, too..." the tauren offers.
"Have you SEEN how much that trink goes for in ToC25 GDKP runs?" the rogue counters. "Plus, they are MY emblems. It's not like they're just flowing in from raids like you get. I should be able to buy something for myself with what I earned."
The druid sighs, rolling her large eyes and playing with a braid. "I *suppose* that is fair. But... we need to look into the drops in more detail and make sure we pick out the best item you can get for the emblems... one you can't get elsewhere, you know? A big upgrade."
The rogue grins. "If only the emblem vendors sold weapons like they did on Quel'Danas. I love my daggers, but 232s are holding me back."
"Indeed," the druid agrees thoughtfully. She looks over her shoulder at the ToC staff hovering just off of her back. "Saurfang has yet to drop my staff upgrade, though if I did buy a staff, you know Saurfang's would just drop in the next instance."
The elf sighs. "My only hope for weapons is to find a half-decent ToGC10 run and get the 245 daggers. Ohh and maybe some gear tokens... and that 258 cloak. If we can do Insanity... would have to be a well-geared guild alt run for that though."
"Why don't we ask the Cursor to set one up?" the druid suggests.
The rogue's eyes lite up. "Oh... yeah, Kaalla has reached 80 now, and Immortalus. There are lots of alts who'd like some gear beyond the triumph emblems' 232 T9. Let's ask when the Cursor arrives tonight."
Kae later wonders why there are voices in her head demanding that she organize a ToGC10 alt run.

hehehe, I love you Kae. I've giggled so much reading this. My healing is craptastic at best, but maybe in a few weeks :).
- February 23, 2010 at 10:17 AM
And here I was the only one that thought my alts talked to each other! ;-)
Although, I do generally have a rule that my alts keep what they earn. Although, my suger mama (Beru) sure does stretch her pocketbook for them with quite a bit of frequency! Everytime a new toon needs epic flight, she cries as the gold flows out of her fingers. Greedy little alts!
- February 23, 2010 at 10:33 AM
Oh, lord, the negotiations between Kayeri the druid and Rhiane the rogue to get those badges... ::eyeroll:: Kay did get her boots in the end, but Rhi sure wasnt happy about it...
At least I know I'm not the only one...

Wow, awesome post. Love your writing style. Just a rogue tip, T10 (4) is probably the best set bonus rogues have had... ever. My rogue used to be my main, and has long since resented my priest and druid healers that get the attention.

I call it the "emblem of frost ponzi scheme".
My priest buys my shaman craftable gear, and once he's all kitted out, my lock will be buying my priest gear.
And my lock gets left holding the bag.

- Hana said...
My main and alts pride themselves on self-sufficiency. If they loan each other gold they're obligated to pay it back. >_>
There's no way in hell my paladin would give his frost emblems to my druid unless he no longer needed them. But he's a blood elf so what can I expect?
- February 23, 2010 at 5:23 PM
- Kae said...
*claps her hands over her rogue's ears* AH! HANA! Don't tell my alt such things, she might get ideas!!
- February 24, 2010 at 10:12 AM
Love the dialog. I have a NE Disc Priest, A Rogue, and a Warlock that regularly have conversations like that. Right now the Priest is coming out ahead but I know my Lock has evil little gnome hands in it as he also benefits from the ICC boot pattern recently purchased. :)

This is cool! A car emblem is a symbol or logo that defines a car, that is why automobile makers make their emblem's design and style unique from others.

Randolph's exchange agreement with Tsuda College in Tokyo offers students the opportunity to study in Japan for a full year or the spring semester. Because the Japanese academic calendar begins in April, Randolph students can elect to spend the first few months of the year living with a host family, studying Japanese, and working on an Randolph independent study project. Tsuda College will annually offer a waiver of tuition and room fees plus a monthly stipend of 40,000 yen for one full-year student or two one-semester students. Students can take courses in Japanese language and Japanese studies. They also have the opportunity to select other courses taught by native speakers of English for Japanese students.
Kansai Gaidai University in Osaka, Japan
Randolph and Kansai Gaidai University of Foreign Studies in Japan have a formal intercollegiate relationship for the purpose of increasing cross-cultural experiences for students. Randolph students may attend Kansai Gaidai for either a semester or an academic year. Courses are taught in English and in Japanese. Kansai Gaidai accepts exchange participants from Randolph on its institutional recommendation. Selection is made in compliance with Kansai Gaidai's academic standards. One year of Japanese language at the college level is recommended for this program. Participants pay Randolph College tuition, fees, and room and board.
Fukuoka Jo Gakuin College in Fukuoka, Japan
Randolph has an exchange agreement with Fukuoka Jo Gakuin College that enables one Randolph student to spend a full academic year at Fukuoka Jo Gakuin. This program is unique. Fukuoka Jo Gakuin tries to arrange a curriculum that meets specific needs of the Randolph student. Students attend classes with Japanese and Korean students. Most course work is in Japanese. Students should have the equivalent of two years of college-level Japanese to participate in this program. Students pay Randolph tuition plus costs of room and board in Japan.

DURHAM, N.C. — Duke point guard Alexis Jones says she will transfer to be closer to home as she recovers from a knee injury.
Jones is a native of Irving, Texas. She will have two years of eligibility remaining.
Jones averaged 11.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 1.9 steals while starting every game for two seasons.
She took on a larger late-season role as a freshman after Chelsea Gray went down with a knee injury. She suffered her own season-ending knee injury in February at Notre Dame and missed the last seven games.
Coach Joanne P. McCallie says she supports Jones' decision and wishes her the best as she recovers from the injury.

A while back, I got an email asking that I review a pair of socks on my blog. I normally refuse to do reviews because the requests I have gotten so far have been for things that don't interest me.
This request intrigued me, though, because I know there are a lot of moms out there who would be interested in these socks. You see, they are completely seamless. So, I said, "Why not?"
Danny hasn't been wearing socks much since it is summer, but the other day when we were headed to our nature center, I insisted the kids don footwear. Danny was actually excited to wear these SmartKnitKIDS Seamless Sensitivity Socks. He said they feel "slippery," which means in Dannyspeak that they are smooth.
Later in the day, I asked Danny if he liked them and his face lit up in a smile as he crowed, "Yes! Yes, I do!"
The real testament to his appreciation, though, came the next day. Danny insisted on wearing them again and got upset when I explained that the socks were in the wash.
Later in the day, however, I noticed Danny was wearing the seamless socks, only this pair wasn't quite as dirty as yesterday's pair. Unbeknownst to me, Danny had surreptitiously stolen the extra pair of socks in the box. The pair that I was intending on giving away to a reader. Of course, I noticed after Danny had worn them for hours on my very unclean floors, so they are in no condition to be seen by anyone outside the family.
I recommend checking out their website at: www.smartknitkids.com
Note: I was not compensated in any way for this review. I was sent some socks to try out, but was not paid.

The first Lamborghini Jota was a modified Miura built in 1970 that, just a year later, burned to the ground. The next Jotas were modified Diablos built in the 1990s, which lacked rearview mirrors. What is (probably) the latest Jota? The beast you see above, a modified 2020 Aventador that is intended, like the Jotas of years past, to be a street-legal race car.
Or, you know, for it to run at extremely low speeds on the congested streets of the south of France. The Jota—pronounced with the "j" making an "h" sound—in all of its iterations has always been a set of performance upgrades, making the Lambo lighter, quicker and more fierce.
On the Diablo, as our own Raphael Orlove has documented, that meant "new ECU, new cams, a new intake, an astoundingly loud exhaust (all of which was good for nearly 600 horsepower out of its naturally-aspirated V12), fixed suspension, adjustable swaybars, plexiglass windows instead of glass, new ducting, vents and a gigantic wing."
The new Jota—the name could also still be Performante instead—seems to have tweaked aerodymanics, a different hood, a lighter suspension, and, probably, a V12 that makes close to 800 HP. (The Aventador SV makes a measly 740 HP.)
This will likely be the Aventador's swan song, and it'll be a fitting one, since Lamborghini's apparently trying to make it quicker than the Huracan Performante, which is the flashier and probably faster car at the moment.
Lamborghini also has an eye on Porsche, which set the record around Nürburgring in its 911 GT2 RS, beating the Huracan Performante's previous record, which, itself, had topped the Aventador SV. Porsche beat the Huracan's record by nearly five seconds, finishing with a 6:47.3 lap time around the 12.9-mile 'Ring. Lamborghini is now out for blood.

2005 GMC Yukon
Yukon: The chilly wildness of its name suggests cold, rugged terrain; a landscape at once beautiful yet inhospitable. A 2005 GMC Yukon wouldn't be a bad thing to have in such a place, but it's also a great domestic partner for the warmer adventure of everyday living.
Smaller than the largest SUVs, yet still indisputably full-sized, Yukon is the right size for families that have something to tow. Its cabin is roomy, friendly and functional. It can carry a load of people and a mountain of cargo. It can pull heavy trailers, up to 7700 pounds, or 8100 in the case of the more powerful Denali model. Third-row seats are available to increase Yukon's capacity to seven passengers, or up to nine if you order bench seats throughout. Yet Yukon will fit into a garage more easily than a Suburban or even an Expedition, both of which are longer.
The Yukon offers a nice ride and a choice of V8 engines, the largest of them with plenty of power for acceleration or towing. Yukon is smooth and stable on the road. Its advanced braking system works well. Turn off the highway and it handles gravel, rugged two-tracks, mud and snow. In any kind of driving, it's a great choice for someone who needs real carrying capacity.
Safety is enhanced by a tire-pressure monitor and sophisticated Hydroboost brakes. StabiliTrak electronic stability control is now available on all models, as is OnStar, upgraded for 2005 with enhanced hands-free capabilities. A new DVD-based touch-screen navigation system is also available.
The Yukon Denali is a luxury version that adds a sumptuous interior, a bigger engine (with even more power for 2005), and full-time all-wheel drive. It is a unique and desirable vehicle, offering power, luxury, and prestige that is not available in a Chevrolet Tahoe, but without the ostentatious flash of a Cadillac Escalade.
Model Lineup
Four trim levels are available for the GMC Yukon: SLE, SLT, SLT Plus, and Denali. Officially, the SLTs are packages added onto the standard Yukon.
Yukon SLE ($35,635) and SLE 4WD ($38,160) come loaded with manual tri-zone air conditioning, a split-bench front seat with power adjustment for the driver, anti-lock brakes (ABS), self-leveling suspension, CD stereo with eight speakers, power windows, power door locks, fog lights, tinted glass, heated outside mirrors, leather wrapped steering wheel, and alarm. A 285-horsepower 4.8-liter V8 is standard; a 295-horsepower 5.3-liter V8 is optional ($700).
Yukon SLT ($38,165) and SLT 4WD ($41,865) add automatic tri-zone air conditioning, a premium Bose stereo with nine speakers and rear seat audio controls, high-back bucket seats with leather inserts, a floor console, and assist steps.
SLT Plus ($41,990) and SLT Plus 4WD ($44,690) upgrade the quality of the leather and add heat, memory, and more power adjustments to the front bucket seats. SLT Plus also features outside mirrors with ground illumination and turn signals (and electrochromic dimming on the driver's side), power-adjustable pedals, XM Satellite Radio, and more. The 5.3-liter V8 comes standard on SLT Plus.
Denali ($50,035) is the most upscale Yukon, and comes with a big 6.0-liter V8 engine, full-time all-wheel drive, StabiliTrak electronic stability control, side-impact airbags, and a computer-controlled AutoRide suspension. In fact, nearly every desirable feature is standard on Denali, including virtually all the luxuries of the SLT Plus.
A sunroof ($1,000) and an engine block heater ($35) are optional. The Trailering Group ($330) includes a seven-to-four-pin adapter and electric brake wiring harness, in addition to a hitch platform, transmission oil cooler, and high-capacity air cleaner. Six-spoke, 17-inch aluminum wheels ($295) are an option for all Yukons for 2005.
Built on GM's excellent full-size truck platform, the GMC Yukon is the same size as, and has much in common with the Chevrolet Tahoe and Cadillac Escalade. Yukon is 20 inches shorter than the Chevrolet Suburban and GMC Yukon XL, making it much easier to park and garage. It is slightly smaller than the Ford Expedition, but longer and wider than the GMC Envoy, Chevy TrailBlazer, and Ford Explorer. Yukon is wider and shorter than the Envoy XL, giving it better stability in cornering and more comfortable accommodations for third-row occupants.
Yukon is conservatively styled. It looks like a shortened version of the Yukon XL, which looks like a fancy Suburban, which is what it is. Yukon's arched roofline provides extra headroom for the second- and third-row seats.
Denali is distinguished from other Yukons by its aftermarket-inspired chrome grille, projector-beam headlamps, body-color bumpers, round fog lights, unique side cladding, 17-inch chromed wheels, and chromed exhaust tips.
For 2005, all Yukons come with a station wagon-style rear hatch that lifts up to open. The rear window can be opened separately for quick loading or unloading of smaller items.
Less noticeable changes for 2005 include an extended front air dam with fewer unneeded openings, and more aerodynamically friendly running boards.
Interior Features
The Yukon is comfortable and convenient. Getting inside is easy, thanks to pull-out style door handles. Step-in height is reasonable, making it relatively easy to climb into the driver's seat.
The Denali's leather upholstery looks and feels nice, and the shoulder harnesses fit well and are easy to wear because they are mounted on the seats. We sometimes had trouble getting comfortable in the big, cushy bucket seats, but owners seem to like them. Visibility out of the Yukon is very good, thanks to large windows.
Second-row seating is roomy and comfortable. Second-row bucket seats are an option ($490) in SLT and Denali, and we recommend them for buyers willing to give up a seating position. The bucket seats offer excellent support and can be adjusted individually. They almost feel more comfortable than the front seats.
Yukon's optional third-row seat provides space for adults' feet. It isn't a lot of space, but it is there. The third row folds, flips, slides and removes easily. In fact, whichever way you choose to stow the third row, it's easy to do; it even has wheels to help roll it into the garage for storage. Like most third rows, it's best for kids or occasional use. Getting into and out of that third-row seat isn't easy for adults. If you're going to put big people back there on a regular basis, we recommend the longer GMC Yukon XL or a minivan.
Up front, all of the switchgear and ancillary controls are mounted close to the driver. Climate controls and audio controls are easy to use yet are quite sophisticated in their operation. We enjoyed the Denali's Bose nine-speaker stereo with subwoofer. Rather than embedding the antenna in a window for fashion reasons, the Yukon uses an external antenna for improved radio reception.
The Panasonic DVD Passenger Entertainment System ($1,295) includes a seven-inch flip-down screen for second-seat passengers, plus two sets of wireless (infrared) headphones with independent volume control, a wireless remote control and three sets of auxiliary video and audio inputs. The wireless headphones are light and comfortable, and the display offers a crisp picture. Yukon buyers can choose to have both overhead DVD entertainment and a sunroof, which is not always the case in competitive vehicles, the Lexus LX 470 among them; in fact, Denali bundles the sunroof, DVD entertainment, and satellite navigation together as the Sun, Entertainment, and Destination Package ($3,290).
The DVD-based touch-screen navigation system, also available as a stand-alone option ($1,995), generates two and three-dimensional color maps on a 6.5-inch screen; it also provides audio commands.
Buttons for Homelink, which can open garage doors and gates, and turn on house lights; and for the new Gen 6 OnStar telematics system, are nicely integrated. GM's OnStar security and information service works well as a navigation system because there's nothing to program. Press the button and a human operator responds, to provide directions and other assistance. OnStar always knows the location of your vehicle. They will notify authorities of your location if your airbag goes off and you do not respond to their calls. Or you can press the emergency button and they'll send out the troops. They can unlock your doors if you lock the keys inside. They can direct you to the nearest gas station or help find a good restaurant or motel. If your vehicle is stolen, OnStar can pinpoint its location and direct the authorities to apprehend and recover. The latest Gen 6 version provides enhanced hands-free, voice-recognition capabilities, and more intuitive continuous digit dialing.
Safety starts with seat belts and is enhanced by dual-stage frontal airbags. Side-impact airbags are optional ($350) on SLE and SLT, standard on Denali. A tire-pressure monitoring system continuously checks inflation pressures in each of the four tires and flashes a graphic on the instrument clust
Driving Impressions
The GMC Yukon offers a nice ride on asphalt and on dirt. It even rides with impressive smoothness on bumpy rural byways that make some other SUVs feel like pogo sticks. On smooth highways, the Yukon cruises effortlessly. Handling is impressive and surefooted for a full-size SUV. Yukon is stable at high speed. It's much easier to park then the longer Yukon XL, but it's still a full-size truck and not as maneuverable as a mid-size SUV such as the GMC Envoy or Ford Explorer.
The Yukon is definitely a truck. It comes with a live rear axle supported by coil springs and located by five control links, an arrangement which provides a good compromise between ride/handling and cargo-carrying utility. Its front suspension is conventional in design, but uses torsion bars instead of coil springs to save space. Yukon's truck-like ladder frame is fully boxed in the mid-section for maximum rigidity, while the front and rear portions are shaped by hydroforming that allows for more design freedom and a more rigid frame. This rigid design is a key to the Yukon's excellent ride and handling. At the front of the frame is a section designed to crush and absorb impact in a crash.
Yukon Denali's AutoRide computer-controlled suspension helps keep it level over bumps. This benefit is especially pronounced when towing; a trailer tends to cause the towing vehicle to rock back and forth when driving over bumps, but the AutoRide system keeps the Denali amazingly smooth.
The combination of good visibility and confident handling give the Yukon an air of nimbleness in spite of its massive size and weight. The steering on all Yukons provides good control and feedback. It's a recirculating-ball system, however, which doesn't offer the response of the rack-and- pinion steering found on the Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator. On the other hand, recirculating-ball steering can provide better isolation than rack-and-pinion when driving on rough, unpaved roads.
Yukon's relatively tight 38.3-foot turning diameter makes it much easier to park than a Yukon XL, which takes another 4.7 feet of space to turn around. That makes a huge difference in the grocery store parking lot.
The brakes perform well. A dynamic proportioning system continuously balances the front and rear brakes for maximum effectiveness without activating the ABS. As a test, we towed a heavily laden horse trailer without trailer brakes and were impressed with the Yukon's braking ability. To reduce braking effort, GM's Hydroboost technology uses hydraulic pressure rather than engine vacuum; Hydroboost provides more power for high-deceleration stops, and improves ABS performance.
Under the hood, Yukons employ the latest heirs to Chevy's small-block V8 engine family. These Generation-3 overhead-valve engines are the best yet and rival competitors' overhead-cam engines for smoothness and efficiency. As mentioned, they come in three sizes: 4.8-liter, 5.3-liter, and 6.0-liter. All burn regular unleaded.
The popular 5.3-liter V8 offers impressive acceleration performance. Called the Vortec 5300, it's rated 295 horsepower and 335 pound-feet of torque. GMC says fuel economy has been improved for 2005, thanks in part to the new dual, 200-watt electric cooling fans that replace the engine-driven fan used previously. The electric fans are quieter, too, and the radiator is now more efficient, and GMC says we should also expect improved air conditioning performance while stuck in traffic. Fuel economy estimates for the 2005 Yukon were not available at press time, but in the Chevrolet Tahoe this same engine managed 14/18 city/highway mpg with 2WD, 13/17 with 4WD. The smaller, 4.8-liter V8 develops 285 horsepower but considerably less torque: 295 pound-feet. And it uses nearly as much fuel, rating 14/18 mpg with two- or four-wheel drive.
For 2005, the big 6.0-liter V8 that comes with the Denali cranks out 335 horsepower and 375 pound-feet of
GMC Yukon is large enough to carry a crowd in comfort, and it can haul a lot of cargo, yet it's small enough to fit in the garage.
The Denali is very luxurious, yet a little more affordable and a lot more subtly styled than the Cadillac Escalade. The Yukon Denali's styling is traditional and understated. Lots of power, comfortable accommodations, and safety features such as side-impact air bags place the Yukon Denali among the best of the full-size luxury SUVs.

After a rather hasty (unavoidable) migration/reconfiguration of a SP 2010 Foundation box, I am left with an error in CA regarding a number of missing Features, SetupFiles, and WebParts. I redeployed and then retracted and uninstalled the two solutions that were the cause of the majority of the messages (they weren't being used, which is why they weren't migrated initially) and while the errors went away while the solutions were deployed (except for one regarding a missing template file that had been renamed), they came back after the removal and I'm not sure how to eliminate the references to the "Missing server side dependencies."
I ran WssAnalyzeFeatures to confirm the damage, and, sure enough, even after the removal of the solutions, the errors remain.
Any suggestions for tools and/or steps to remove these errors?

MONDAY, Jan. 9, 2012 (HealthDay News) -- Statin medications used by women after menopause appear to increase their risk of developing diabetes, according to a large, new study.
The research echoes findings of other studies linking the cholesterol-lowering drugs with an increased diabetes risk in men and women. Statins include drugs such as Lipitor, Lescol and Mevacor.
"We found statins increased the risk of diabetes about 48 percent after adjusting for different risk factors such as family history of diabetes, body mass index and [physical] activity," said Dr. Yunsheng Ma, associate professor of medicine and an epidemiologist at the University of Massachusetts Medical School in Worcester, Mass. "It's a moderate risk," he said.
However, the study found an association, not a cause and effect.
The authors stressed that the findings -- published online Jan. 9 in the Archives of Internal Medicine -- are not a reason to change current guidelines for use of the drugs in those with or without diabetes. Statins are often prescribed to lower blood cholesterol levels in order to prevent heart disease or its progression. Diabetes is a strong risk factor for heart disease.
For the study, the researchers followed nearly 154,000 participants in the Women's Health Initiative, a long-running look at health issues in postmenopausal women.
At the study start in 1993, their average age was 63, and slightly more than 7 percent were taking statins. By 2005, more than 10,200 reported they had developed type 2 diabetes, meaning their blood sugar levels were too high.
People with type 2 diabetes don't make or properly utilize insulin, a hormone that regulates the amount of sugar, or glucose, in the blood. Uncontrolled diabetes can damage the kidneys, nerves and eyes.
Those taking statins were more likely to develop diabetes, the researchers found. When contributing factors such as family history and excess weight were considered, the statin users were nearly 1.5 times more likely to develop diabetes than those not taking statins. The risk applied for all kinds of statin drugs.
The researchers can't explain the link. "It's still an area under scrutiny," said Annie Culver, the study's first author and a consulting pharmacist with the University of Massachusetts Medical School.
"Statins may affect the way the body manages insulin and glucose responses," she said.
The take-home message for women and others, the researchers said, is to pay attention to lifestyle measures that can lower diabetes risk or help manage the disorder if they already have it. Keeping a healthy body weight, eating a healthy diet and getting regular physical activity can all help.
"If they do need statin therapy, they should not be complacent that medication will solve the problem," Culver said. Lifestyle measures still matter, she added.
If an older woman needs statins to reduce heart attack or stroke risk, this study should not dissuade them, agreed Dr. Spyros Mezitis, a clinical endocrinologist consultant at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City. He said the findings are observational, and as such the researchers cannot control for all the possible confounding factors.
Doctors should try to keep statin dosage as low as possible, he said. And women with and without diabetes who are prescribed a statin to lower cholesterol should expect regular monitoring of their cholesterol and blood glucose levels.
Dr. Suzanne Steinbaum, attending cardiologist and director of Women and Heart Disease at the Heart and Vascular Institute at Lenox Hill Hospital, said that as a result of the findings, women on the medications should watch their intake of sugar, starches and carbohydrates to maintain healthy blood sugar levels.
Every woman taking a statin needs to know her risk of heart disease, Steinbaum said, and she needs to ask her doctor, "Is the statin necessary?"
The researchers, who noted that statins can manage the heart-related consequences of diabetes, said more work is needed to unravel the link between the drugs and the blood-sugar disorder.

In the book, of course, Zhuge Liang is god himself, but historically which of the three kingdoms had the better strategists?
I would probably derive what it means to have the "best strategists" as against all odds, their strategies turned the tide of battle in their favor against overwhelming odds.
Like Guandu and Chibi, those were strategic masterpieces.
I just wanted to try and compare strategists between the three kingdoms and see which kingdom truly was the "smartest" if you understand me.
