High-throughput screening approaches are utilized by pharmaceutical companies to rapidly evaluate new and/or existing chemical entities for desired effects on cells or cellular processes. Through the use of automated robotics, liquid handling, imaging, and data analysis systems, researchers can quickly conduct thousands of experiments to identify 'hits' for appropriate biological responses. This is most commonly accomplished through the screening of 2-dimensional cellular/tissue systems in micro-well plates, with more recent advances focused on the transition to microfluidics or lab-on-a-chip-based screening methods to reduce reagent volumes. These approaches are limited in physiological significance by the 2-D nature of the assay and/or unnatural interactions of cells with synthetic materials (e.g., plastics, polymers, etc.) used in fabricating the high throughput system. Given these constraints, such studies are typically short-term in nature, offering limited insight into conditions that require long-term culture and concurrent longitudinal analysis of cellular systems (e.g., neurodegenerative disorders).
Our approach is to develop a high-throughput system based on our 3-dimensional bioengineered brain tissue models. By using these tissue engineered systems to recapitulate native tissue architecture, cellular composition, and function, particularly using patient-derived cells, we can achieve a higher level of fidelity to the in vivo condition in a high-throughput, in vitro system, leading to an increase in the accuracy of pharmacological 'hits' during screening. Importantly, these 3D tissues can be maintained over extended time in culture (e.g., >1 year) and these systems are compatible with both real-time imaging and terminal analysis methods. This includes interfacing with imaging modes to track changes in metabolism and tissue structure, array methodologies for measuring neuronal signals, and systems for sampling and analyzing metabolites in real-time. This system offers an innovative method for the in vitro study of neurological disorders and the potential for break-through drug discoveries. This approach can be also utilized for multiple tissue types (e.g., brain, intestine, cornea, skin, etc.), further demonstrating the broad applicability of developing this technology platform.

Abruzzese's Stock Is Soaring on Wall Street
Discovery's ad sales president and B&C Hall of Famer Joe Abruzzese has long been admired on Madison Avenue, not the least of which for being widely known as the best-dressed man in advertising sales. Now, it seems, he's gaining fans on Wall Street as well.
One of the highlights of Discovery's fourth-quarter earnings report was a 17% increase in domestic advertising revenue and on the company's conference call with analysts, a couple of the analysts were impressed with the way Abruzzese and his team were able outperform Discovery's ratings, and its competition.
"I'd love to hear more about your sales effort and what Joe Abruzzese is doing because…there's really a multi-quarter outperformance story," said Anthony DiClemente of Barclays Capital. "What's the magic that Joe's adding to the mix here?"
Discovery CEO David Zaslav noted that some of the company's networks — particularly some of the smaller ones — were performing well. But he added that Abruzzese was a "master of managing inventory and at motivating a great sales team."
Some of those newer channels had been getting very low ad rates and "Joe has been very aggressive about looking at our CPMs [the price charged per thousand viewers] because in the long run, the CPMs are…what's really going to drive us," Zaslav said.
He added that "also it's a good inventory management by Joe, and he's moved aggressively in scatter early. He did very good job with the upfront, which I think was good for everybody. But overall, I think it's mostly Joe doing a good job and our channels having momentum."

Acupuncture for Chronic Low Back Pain
PainSci summary of Berman 2010?This page is one of thousands in the PainScience.com bibliography. It is not a general article: it is focused on a single scientific paper, and it may provide only just enough context for the summary to make sense. Links to other papers and more general information are provided at the bottom of the page, as often as possible. ★☆☆☆☆?1-star ratings are for negative examples, fatally flawed papers, junk science, suspected fraud. Ratings are a highly subjective opinion, and subject to revision at any time. If you think this paper has been incorrectly rated, please let me know.
A bizarre and already infamous paper: bizarre because the authors clearly acknowledge that acupuncture is no better than a placebo, and bizarre because they conclude that it should be recommended, and most bizarre of all because it is published in The New England Journal of Medicine. Truly, one of the lowest moments in the history of that famous journal!
The best criticisms of the NEJM's editorial choices here can both be found on Science-Based Medicine, by Drs. Crislip (NEJM and Acupuncture: Even the best can publish nonsense) and Novella (Acupuncture Pseudoscience in the New England Journal of Medicine). Dr. Crislip's post is really quite funny.
original abstract†Abstracts here may not perfectly match originals, for a variety of technical and practical reasons. Some abstacts are truncated for my purposes here, if they are particularly long-winded and unhelpful. I occasionally add clarifying notes. And I make some minor corrections.
This Journal feature begins with a case vignette that includes a therapeutic recommendation. A discussion of the clinical problem and the mechanism of benefit of this form of therapy follows. Major clinical studies, the clinical use of this therapy, and potential adverse effects are reviewed. Relevant formal guidelines, if they exist, are presented. The article ends with the authors' clinical recommendations.

Rancho El Encanto horses represent the best of the Andalusian breed.
Dr. Ariel Martinez is happy to see the population of Andalusian horses in the United States grow every year. And he's happy if his beautiful horses have helped inspire more owners to invest in these versatile and enjoyable breeds. His generosity of spirit, however, does not extend to making it any easier to beat his horses in competition. Rancho El Encanto has obtained multiple awards, including several Champion Of Breed distinctions, which are the highest honor.
Along with winning multiple top honors in competition, Rancho El Encanto has developed one of the most impressive Andalusian breeding programs in the United States.
Since buying his first Andalusian stallion, Farruco LXXXIII, on a 1996 trip to Spain, Dr. Martinez has bought and bred a collection of 60-plus horses the represent the breed's very best. This includes three champion stallions that are all qualified by the ANNCCE, the Spanish national studbook. To be "qualified" Pura Raza Española is the studbook's certification that a horse possesses the breed's highest standard, in every measure, as a sire. In addition to Farruco LXXXIII, these qualified stallions are Ciclon IX and Revoltoso LXXVII.
Rancho El Encanto also has six qualified mares, four of which are also "recommended," which is a "step beyond" being qualified. The qualified mares are Luna CCXCIV and Fabulilla MR. The mares that are both qualified and recommended are Lebrijana AM, Illustrada IX, Jarira and Hilandera II.
At last year's Andalusian World Cup and at Feria of the Spanish Horse, Rancho El Encanto earned the Best Exhibitor honor and its horses scored titles galore. Highlights include:
At the Festival of the Spanish Horse in May, the Rancho El Encanto team continued its winning ways. Luna CCXCIV was Champion Mare of the Breed and Champion Mare of Section 9. Que Linda was Champion Filly of Section 6 and Champion Filly of the Breed. Gringo XXII earned the silver medal in Section 6 and the Cobra team again was unbeatable.
Dr. Martinez' 1996 trip to SICAB, the grand finale of the Spanish National Championships for Andalusian stallions and mares in Sevilla, Spain, took his interests to an entirely new level. He had originally thought of owning a racehorse but when he saw the Spanish horses, he was swept away by their beauty, physical abilities and temperaments.
Dr. Martinez was not an expert in Spanish horses at the time but he knew a high quality horse when he saw it and that was Farruco LXXXIII. "It was love at first sight," Dr. Martinez laughs.
The stunning gray stallion arrived in the United States as a relative unknown on the breed show circuit, but he became well known very quickly. He was 2009 Champion of Champions at Fiesta of the Spanish Horse and Champion of the Breed at Feria of the Spanish Horse, also in 2009. He earned Champion of Champions honors in 2010 at Celebration in Las Vegas, and Absolute Champion of Feria of the Spanish Horse 2011. Farruco LXXXIII was named High Point Stallion in 2009, with a score of 105.43 that remains unmatched to this day, Dr. Martinez points out with pride.
With nothing else to prove in competition, Farruco LXXXIII now enjoys life as the top stallion at the 10-acre Rancho El Encanto. He has over 30 offspring, two of which are champions in their own right. Celestina XI was 3-Year-Old Champion in Las Vegas and twice Champion of Movement. Favorita CCLII was the only champion at Celebration and Feria of the Spanish Horse in 2013.
Farruco LXXXIII has stellar stallion stablemates, too. Ciclon IX is another qualified multi-champion horse and he counts six gold medals in functionality, in the USA and Spain. He has been a finalist at SICAB on two occasions, and was Champion of the Breed at Fiesta of The Spanish Horse and Celebration of the Pure Spanish Horse, both in 2013.
The young stallion Revoltoso LXXVIII is a pure Cartujano who was Champion of the Breed at last year's Feria of the Spanish Horse, and Absolute Young Champion at that showcase in 2012.
Although Dr. Martinez did not initially go to Spain with the intention of becoming a breeder, he has whole-heartedly committed to the task of improving Andalusian stock in the U.S. In 2012, he purchased 12 mares, some of which were in foal, and brought them back to Rancho El Encanto's 22-acre ranch in the Monterey Bay area's Aptos.
"Quality" comes up frequently as Dr. Martinez talks about his horses and, indeed, that is the entire goal of the Rancho El Encanto endeavor. It's evident in the horses he imported and, more importantly, in the offspring they are producing for domestic buyers. Conformational consistency is a trademark of the program. Their traits include well-set heads and necks, nicely-muscled round bodies and sturdy, yet refined legs. The source of those traits is easy to see in Rancho El Encanto's famous sires, and in the mares who both produce and perform on the line and in the traditional Cobra class, in which three or five well-matched mares work together on a line.
For all their flash and flair, the Rancho El Encanto horses also embody the Pura Raza Española's gift of famously calm temperaments. Coupled with the breed's characteristic intelligence, the horses are easy and enjoyable to train and handle.

Yeah, I bet.. What they going to take pilot skills back??. Thousands if not millions of hours, they can't be that foolish.. That would totally kill this game.. 6 years of playing the same game would be ruined totally.. Let them try to keep players when they mess with pilot EXP.. I dare them..

The intention to change to healthier behaviour may be good, but to accomplish it is a challenge, especially if you don't have the knowledge about how to achieve this change. Change usually does not happen all at once, it is a gradual process that involves several stages. Psychologist James Prochaska, John Norcoss, and Carlo DiClemente developed the Transtheoretical Model of stages of change to aid with the process of self-change. This model identifies six stages in the process that describes underlying processes that people go through to change most problem behaviours and adopt healthy behaviours. Most frequently, the model is used to change health-related behaviours such as physical inactivity, smoking, poor nutrition, weight problems, stress, and alcohol abuse. Understanding each stage of the model will help individuals to determine where they are in relation to their personal healthy lifestyle behaviours. It will also help to identify processes to make successful change. The stages are as follows: CONTEMPLATION People in this stage acknowledge that they have a problem and begin to seriously think about overcoming it. They are not quite ready for change, however, they are weighing the pros and cons of changing. People may remain in this stage for years although in their minds they are planning to take some action within the next six months. Education and peer support is valuable during this stage. PRECONTEMPLATION People in this stage are not considering change or do not want to change a given behaviour. They typically deny having a problem even though other people around them, including health-care practitioners, identify the problem clearly. They have no intention of changing in the immediate future and may even avoid information and materials that address the issue. These people frequently have an active resistance to change and seem resigned to accept the unhealthy behaviour as their 'fate'. At this stage, educating them about the problem is critical to helping them start contemplating the change, by helping them to realise that they are ultimately responsible for the consequences of their behaviour. PREPARATION In this stage, people are seriously considering change and planning to change a behaviour within the next month. They take initial steps for change, like even trying the new behaviour for a short while such as quitting smoking for a day or exercising a few times during the month. During this stage, people define a general goal for change and write specific objectives to accomplish these goals. Continued peer and environmental support are helpful during this stage. ACTION People at this stage are actively doing things to change or modify the problem behaviour or to adopt a healthy behaviour. This stage requires the greatest commitment of time and energy on the part of the individual. The person is required to follow specific guidelines set forth for that behaviour. Relapse is common during this stage, and the individual may regress to previous stages. Once the individual is able to maintain the action stage for six consecutive months, they move to the maintenance stage. MAINTENANCE During this stage, the person continues the behaviour for up to five years. This phase requires continued adherence to the specific guidelines that govern the behaviour, example, exercising aerobically three times per week. The person works to maintain the gains made through the various stages of change and strive to prevent lapses and relapses. TERMINATION/ADOPTION Once a behaviour has been maintained for over five years, a person is said to be in the termination or adoption phase and exits from the cycle of change without fear of relapse. In the case of negative behaviours that are terminated, the stage of change is referred to as termination. If a positive behaviour has been successfully adopted over the period, this stage is designated the adoption stage or the 'transformed stage of change'. This phase is the ultimate goal for all people seeking a healthier lifestyle and the quest for wellness. However, the likelihood for relapse is always high and can happen at any stage. Relapse, however, does not mean failure. Failure comes only to those who give up and don't use prior experiences as building blocks for future success. The chances of moving back up to a higher stage of the model are far better for someone who has previously made it into one of those stages.

Double stakes glory for Jamaican Nelson
WINNIPEG, Canada (CMC):Jamaican jockey Dale Nelson made two bold statements at Northlands Park Saturday when he snatched the CAN$50,000 Sonoma Stakes and $53,330 Sun Sprint Championship Stakes on the 13-race Derby Day card.Nelson scored by 5-1/4 lengths in the Sonoma in race three with the three-year-old bay filly Hero's Amor, before returning in race 10 to win the Sun Sprint by half-length with 17-1 outsider Clear the Runway.In the feature $200,000 Canadian Derby in race 12, Nelson finished second aboard 9-1 chance Witt Six, as 3-1 chance Academic reached the wire first by eight lengths. The favourite, Blue Dancer, with Barbadian Rico Walcott aboard, was a disappointing fifth.Going a mile and 16th in the Sonoma, Nelson tracked from second with Hero's Amor, as Eustacia set the pace with quick fractions of 22.62 for the quarter and 46.22 for the half. Nelson brought Hero's Amor to challenge on the final turn, picked up the lead in the lane before getting the filly to the finish 5-1/4 lengths clear, to dismiss the three-year-old fillies.In a 6-1/2 furlong sprint in the Sun Sprint, Nelson brought Clear the Runway from last to beat the three-year-olds and upward by half length. Red Red Rose set the pace through the first quarter with 22.21, before Brackendale came to challenge and battled into the stretch.Almost last heading into the lane, Nelson brought the six-year-old bay gelding with a strong run along the rails to clinch a narrow victory ahead of Tiny Giant.

Hot apprentice steals spotlight with first triple at Caymanas Park
Hot apprentice Linton Steadman stole the show at Caymanas Park yesterday, becoming the first from the recent batch of Jockeys' School graduates to ride a triple.His winners were 4-5 favourite SIR BIGGS for trainer Donovan Plummer in the third race over 1820 metres for maiden three-year-olds, EXPRESS TRUCK at 9-2 for trainer Steven Todd in the sixth race over a mile for $180,000 claimers and the Ryan Darby-trained POCKET MONEY, a 6-5 favourite in the closing race over 1200 metres for $180,000 claimers.A past student of Waterford High, Steadman, 25, duly made amends for not landing his first triple last Saturday, when one of his winners, DOC HOLIDAY, was disqualified by the stewards after passing the post first in the seventh race over 1500 metres.The disqualification did not prevent him from emerging the CTL Jockey of the Month – with eight winners – winning the incentive in only his first full month in the saddle, having ridden for the first time on September 26.The popular young rider has so far ridden 13 winners to become the fastest apprentice to reduce his claiming allowance from 4.0kg to 3.0kg.On a day when the apprentices dominated by winning seven of the 10 races, Steadman said he was happy with his form."I was looking forward to taking the triple last Saturday, but Doc Holiday was unfortunately disqualified."Today, everything fell into place, and I can't wait to get back into the saddle on Saturday. Right now, I want to win every race, and with this kind of focus, I should continue to do well," said Steadman, who is apprenticed to 14-time champion trainer Wayne DaCosta, who gave him his first winner, VISION, on September 26.Fellow apprentices Odean Edwards and Bebeto Harvey rode two winners each, Edwards just missing a triple when the Richard Azan-trained ABBEY ROAD (5-2) was beaten by a nose in a tight photo finish by the Shane Ellis-ridden favourite, BONGO KING, in the eighth race over 1600 metres.Harvey, meanwhile, made all aboard the Robert Darby-trained 4-5 favourite, FORCE DE JOUR, in the ninth race (high claiming) over 1100 metres – the 4-y-o colt recording his sixth consecutive win.Trainer Steven Todd topped all trainers with two winners in EXPRSSS TRUCK and BLUE EYE BOY at 2-1.
Schafer's struggles
LACKING QUALITY Former Rivoli and Waterhouse coach Calvert Fitzgerald was critical of the overseas-born players in the squad, arguing that they lacked real quality and add nothing to the team. "The Jamaica national team is mainly made up of players from England who play in the lower leagues. A lot of them not even start in the championship. So it simply means they could not be all that good. None of them can land a contract out of England," he said. Powell has been singled out for his performances but Rudolph Speid, the former Kingston and St Andrew Football Association president and current technical director at Red Stripe Premier league campaigner Cavalier,was a little more forgiving. "The public is against Alvas not for his playing. Everyone is looking that he walked out of the team and got back without a minute suspension, but I don't think he is a bad player. He has been found wanting, but he is young," he reasoned, before giving his assessment of the team's chances in their remaining two group games. "Panama has everything in their favour. They have the points, they have the goal difference, they are at home and physically, we cannot bully them, so it's for the coach to choose the right tactics," Speid said. "We will definitely need help from other teams, most notable from Costa Rica, and we have to be perfect in our two games." Powell has also come under pressure for his lapses defensively, but Speid put his mistakes down to inexperience. Schafer was contacted yesterday, but declined to comment. Meanwhile, Jamaica sits third in their group on four points – three less than Panama, where they will travel to on September 2; and six behind leaders Costa Rica. Haiti, who will play in Kingston on September 6, are in last place on one point. Reggae Boyz head coach Winfried Schafer and his technical staff have been given a failing grade by local coaches, after the team's unconvincing showing in recent times, underlined by poor results in back-to-back World Cup qualifiers against Costa Rica. Defensive weakness, incorrect tactics, apparent discontent in the camp and the presence of what some have called substandard overseas-born players, are among the major issues mentioned. It has been suggested that the return of defender Alvas Powell to the fold – unpunished, after walking out on the team in the Gold Cup – is a cause of the contention within the squad. The team started well against 'Los Ticos' in the first game last week Friday, playing the best football they have played in some time and taking a 1-0 lead into the break. Costa Rica secured the equaliser for a 1-1 draw before outclassing the Jamaicans 3-0 in the reverse fixture. Former national assistant coach Bradley Stewart questioned some of Schafer's choices, in particular his decision to keep defender Adrian Mariappa on the field in last Friday's draw. "Mariappa got injured and the best thing he (Schafer) should have done is take Mariappa out and put in Jermaine Taylor, as a fit Taylor is as good as a fit Mariappa," he said. "If you are a quality team you are expected to win your games at home, things are against you when you travel. It is always more difficult to beat a team at their yard that you cannot beat at your yard," he stated in a grim outlook on the team's chances to advance.
Olympian hopes book will start dialogue and open eyes
EVERYDAY STRUGGLE Blake recalled that his humble upbringing in the deep-rural Morningside district in St Elizabeth, and his everyday struggles to attend St Elizabeth Technical High School, "propelled" him to win a relay bronze medal at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia, and silver at the 1995 World Championships in Gothenburg, Sweden. "It's (book) going to start a dialogue and open the eyes. To be honest, I am not trying to be a millionaire from this book, My hope is that it will reach in the hands of all high-school athletes and they will be able to take this book home and let their parents read it," explained Blake, who says he wants to help athletes stay focused "on the rugged path to athletic prowess". He added that, the track arena is not going to be easy for the athletes, while noting he suffered "fights" during his time on the track. "The whole idea is to motivate athletes who come from a struggling background, disenfranchised kids. Kids sidelined and losing hope, this book is going to teach them to fight that type of demon and propel themselves forward. "I've had the experience of making the national team and some people did not want me on the 4x400m and coaches told me I am to stay focused, and I know exactly what that meant …" he recalled. Blake is of the view that past athletes are not well appreciated in Jamaica but he considers them "trend-setters for upcoming athletes to excel towards". Blake, who represented Jamaica at two Olympic Games, two World Championships, two World University Games, one Pan American Games and one Commonwealth Games, stressed that he feels Jamaican athletes should show more guts and courage and not take abuse. "I find that with professional athletes, they have no backbone these days … . I have had experiences where these athletes just take anything. Sports in Jamaica has gone to a point where it's all about winning, and athletes have suffered for the sport that they love, and the book is going to talk about some of the challenges that I have faced and correlate it with some of the challenges that other athletes have and will face over the years," stressed Blake. Retired Olympian, Dennis Blake says he is hoping to use his book, Dennis Blake's Memoir: An Olympian's Hidden Secrets, to help young athletes, their parents, coaches and stakeholders of track and field to "knock out fear, overcome challenges and achieve their goals". Blake, 45, describes himself as a coach, does consultation and gives motivational speeches to students, athletes and professionals seeking to reach the highest levels in sport. "This book opens an important conversation for anyone who is struggling to make a difference in their lives and to fulfil their personal goals," he said. "Readers will be inspired by the indelible stories which will also shed light on the significant challenges faced by athletes when competing at the elite level," Blake told The Gleaner in an interview. His book will be published in two parts, the first of which is scheduled to hit the shelves in summer in the United States and will be sold for US$14.95. "My hope and dream for this book is for it to be read by all athletes. It is mostly geared towards those disenfranchised athletes, those athletes who have goals and feel like they can't make it or they don't see any light at the end of the tunnel," added Blake, who is now based in the United States.
Young Brigade – Price hoping youngsters will lift Boys' Town in RSPL
Boys' Town head coach Andrew Price is highly confident that the young players added to the Red Stripe Premier League squad will move the club from the cellar position they currently occupy and into a more respectable spot. Despite being in last place on 15 points from their 20 games, Price believes that the youngsters have brought renewed energy to the Collie Smith Drive-based club, which he expects will reflect in results. A 1-0 win over old foes Harbour View on Sunday night in their most recent assignment, courtesy of a third minute Andrew 'Alvez' Allen strike, gives credibility to Price's conviction. In that game, the brave coach introduced several youngster including three schoolboys in the starting eleven. Among the youngsters that played were 17 year-old goalkeeper Shavian Wilson of Excelsior High as well as Chavanney Willis and Orlando Brown of Manning Cup champions Jamaica College. PUSH FORWARD "We are blending the youngsters with the experienced players as I am willing to put young players on the field," Price told The Gleaner yesterday. "A lot of youth have been promoted from the squad that won the KSAFA Under-20 title last summer. Right now we have a cadre of players that can help the team. We are not far away so the aim is to push forward with 12 games remaining in the preliminary stage," Price stated. In addition to the schoolboys, Boys' Town's roster includes the competition's leading goalscorer Shamar Nicholson, who is on ten goals, former Bridgeport High standout Jamiel Hardware, plus veteran players such as Michael Campbell, Daemion Benjamin, Wayne Ellis and Garfield Gillespie. Boys' Town is scheduled to tackle promoted Maverley-Hughenden in their next Red Stripe Premier League assignment on Sunday at Barbican Complex, starting at 3 p.m. Price will be hoping that youthful exuberance will continue to drive the 'Red Brigade' away from the drop zone.
Russell impresses in season opener
Calabar's De'Jour Russell had a successful opening to his 2017 athletics campaign at yesterday's Youngster Goldsmith Classic inside the National Stadium. Competing for the first time in the Class One 110m hurdles, Russell destroyed his opponents to win the event in a fast 13.45 seconds, getting the better of his teammate, Orlando Bernard, who was second in 14.00, with Kingston College 's Phillip Beckford taking third in 14.2. Russell, a fourth-place finisher in the event at the IAAF World Under-20 Championships in Poland last year, was happy with his winning time. "I am very pleased with my win and I am not surprised that I won so easily, as despite this being my first race this season, I have been training very hard," said Russell. There were also some impressive times among the female hurdlers as well. Vere Technical's Britany Anderson, despite this being her first year in Class Two, ran a blinder in winning the girls' 100m hurdles in an astonishing 13.18 seconds – the fastest time ever by a Class Two athlete in the event. Donna Ray Lee of Hydel was second in 13.51 seconds, with third going to St Jago's Rosalee Cooper in 13.74 seconds. There was a close finish in the girls' Class One equivalent between Edwin Allen's Gabrielle McDonald and Vere Technical's Amoi Brown, who were inseparable after both touching the line together in 13.55 seconds.

The NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING account of the new frontier of sports recovery science, which shows what we should and shouldn't be doing between exercising to achieve maximum performance.
'Christie Aschwanden is simply one of the best science writers in the world. Whether you're striving for a personal best or simply wondering about that post-workout beer, Good to Go is the definitive tour through a bewildering jungle of scientific (and pseudo-scientific) claims that comprise a multi-billion dollar recovery industry.' - David Epstein, bestselling author of The Sports Gene.
All athletes from Olympians to weekend warriors must toe the line between training and recovery to maximize the benefits of workouts and reach optimal performance. For the longest time, coaches and training manuals have emphasized training. But now sports science is homing in on an even more fundamental part: recovery.
The aim of training is to force the body to adapt to stress, and this adaptation is what makes you fitter and better able to perform. But to adapt, you need to optimize recovery too. You only benefit from training that you can recover from, and the ability to recover determines how much training your body can handle. Recovery, the science shows, is a crucial component of exercise training and it's starting to look like it may be the most important one.
Good to Go is the first definitive account of this new frontier in sports and exercise science. This developing science informs not only professional athletes and sports teams, but also people who are exercising for health or fitness and those who are aiming to take a little off their personal record.
Good to Go will take readers on an intimate, light-hearted journey through the science of exercise recovery, from ice-baths and cryogenic freezing chambers to the science behind Usain Bolt's love of chicken nuggets and Tom Brady's recovery pyjamas. In the same vein as David Epstein's The Sports Gene and Bill Gifford's Spring Chicken, Good to Go assesses the science and claims of a wide variety of recovery methods and potions, and debunks the junk to give a clear picture of what we should actually be doing to look after our bodies better between exercising.

From the tear-jerking moments to the heartwarming ones, This Is Us has quickly captured the heart of millions. The show spans across multiple themes including trials, love, and, most importantly, family. Not to mention, the acting is just absolutely superb (raise your hand if you cry every time one of the Pearsons sheds a tear). So, yeah, let's just say this TV show is amazing.
But with only two seasons to binge-watch (and trust us, you'll get through it quick), you need some backup shows on deck. Here are five TV shows to watch if This Is Us strikes a chord with you.
Friday Night Lights
If you love Rebecca and Jack's relationship in This Is Us, you'll love Coach Taylor and Tammy's relationship in Friday Night Lights. The powerful bond between the two sits at the emotional core of the show — see, it's not just about football. They value each other and get through thick and thin, making them a pair you can't help but love.
While Black-ish is a sitcom, it doesn't shy away from dealing with tough issues. This is especially true when it comes to discussing race. Like Randall in This Is Us, Dre Johnson is a successful black man who's always working to protect his family's ethnic identity within their overwhelmingly white upper middle class neighborhood. Black-ish is well-written, well-acted, and has plenty of fun, even when taking on tough conversations about race and family.
If you love the Pearsons in This Is Us, you'll love the Bravermans in Parenthood. The show primarily follows four adult siblings with families and careers of their own as they navigate some not-so-simple family dynamics. From raising an autistic child to career ups and downs, navigating the adoption process, and more, the Bravermans are a bit louder and messier, but still extremely lovable.
Speechless aired just a day after This Is Us — and it's just as good. Meet the Dimeo family as they move to a new neighborhood to get their son JJ (who has cerebral palsy) into an inclusive school. Speechless does a wonderful job of representing disability and challenging the stigmas and misconceptions surrounding people with disabilities.
Gilmore Girls
Featuring Milo Ventimiglia as a recurring character for multiple seasons (though a very different one from Jack Pearson), Gilmore Girls displays how a family can be both the greatest burden and the deepest joy of life. Though Lorelai Gilmore has a strained relationship with her parents, she's able to find an impossibly close bond with her daughter Rory. While This Is Us has to do with working through the issues developed in childhood, Gilmore Girls has more of a "don't stop running" approach to family drama.

When it comes to life success, what's more important: book smarts or street smarts? Cognitive intelligence (IQ) versus emotional intelligence (EQ) is a topic debated by many.
Some believe the most successful people are the brainiacs of the world, while others say the emotionally savvy have the upper hand.
When we were young, our parents instilled in us the importance of doing well in school and getting good grades. Excelling in academics means more career opportunities which means more money. And while money can't buy happiness, it certainly makes your life easier.
However, there are many things you can't learn from a textbook such as how to make friends, how to fall in love and heal a broken heart, and how to cope with disappointment and failure. All of these play a vital role in our long-term success and happiness.

PRESENTER: Shane Colvin
DATES: Monday, March 16
TIME: 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.
LOCATION: Aspen Pointe
COURSE INFO: The field of Music Therapy is growing rapidly as a complimentary medicine due to its versatility, non-invasive nature, and relatively low cost to the benefits it provides. From improving post-injury recovery time to helping dementia patients come alive inside, music addresses the common human elements of care and connection with others. As Kenneth Bruscia, professor emeritus of music therapy says, "Music therapy is an interpersonal process in which the therapist uses music and all its facets physical, emotional, mental, social, aesthetic, and spiritual—to help clients to improve, restore or maintain health. In some instances, the client's needs are addressed directly through the elements of music; in others, they are addressed through the interpersonal relationships that develop client and therapist or group."
INSTRUCTOR BIO: Shane Colvin has an MA in Music Therapy from the University of Limerick. A former graduate of MSU, he returned to co-teach a 4 credit Honors Seminar on Music and the Brain in the Fall of 2013, and individually developed and taught a 3 credit course Art Matters: Music Therapy for the MSU President's Fine Art Series in the Spring of 2014. Currently he is a medical student in the University of Washington School of Medicine WWAMI program.

Ahh, another day, another leak. Not a whole lot for breakfast today, but don't worry; it should still fill you up.
Remember yesterday when the Battlefront team said that they weren't using nearly anything from the Battlefield franchise? DICE wasn't kidding – supposedly they're throwing out the server browser all together and will only be offering a skill-based matchmaking system. I'd still be holding out on that pre-order, folks…
@BSanbizzle Star Wars Battlefront will not offer a server browser, but will utilize a new skill based matchmaking system.
— EAStarWars (@EAStarWars) September 1, 2015
On the other hand – Battlefield fans should rejoice. The very anticipated "Night Operations" update rolled out. Make sure to actually order it from the Origin Store so you can begin your download right away (why this just wasn't done as an update is beyond me).
The gang at Tripwire just released a bunch of new content for Killing Floor 2, and the carnage looks absolutely insane. New perks, new maps, new weapons, crossover promos (Chivalry and Red Orchestra owners get playable characters!), new tech from Nvidia, and so much more. Time to load up Discord and match up with some friends:

Rep. Jan Schakowsky said: "Next to the word "mensch" in the Yiddish dictionary, the word for a good and decent person, there should be a picture of Lowell Sachnoff."
Sen. Dick Durbin said: "Lowell has lifted up the voices of people who are often overlooked "
Hon. Abner Mikva said: "Lowell Sachnoff is a contributor to good causes and a worker of good works.
These laudatory comments — and more — were in praise of Chicago attorney Lowell E. Sachnoff at JCUA's annual Jurisprudence Dinner (Nov. 16, 2011). Sachnoff received the Arthur Goldberg Social Justice Award from JCUA, celebrating a legal career characterized by a commitment to social justice.
Mikva, a law professor, former congressman and retired federal judge, reminded the audience of more than 250 lawyers, friends and JCUA supporters that he and the award's namesake — Arthur Goldberg — had worked together many years ago.
Using a Yiddish word that refers to the kind of pride a parent feels when his or her child gets his law degree, Mikva said Arthur is kvelling tonight. He's kvelling because Lowell Sachnoff is his kind of lawyer and JCUA is his kind of organization."
Read about Sachnoff's accomplishments and social justice history
Rabbi Bruce Elder, president of the JCUA board of directors, presented the award to Sachnoff, saying that the honoree "personifies that which we love about JCUA, in speaking out for truth, showing leadership by inspiring others to seek and correct injustices." As an example for younger generations, Elder said Sachnoff is a "giant."
Themes of the evening were housing justice, immigrant rights and Jewish-Muslim community outreach.
Mikva and David Graham, partner at Sidley & Austin LLP, were chairs of the event. Co-chairs included Robert L. Clifford, Jeffrey D. Colman, Robert L. Graham, Sidney N. (Skip) Herman, Michael LoVallo, Lee I. Miller, Judson H. Miner, Thomas P. Sullivan and William A. Von Hoene Jr.
The praiseworthy comments from Durbin and Schakowsky were played at the dinner from a prerecorded video.

A Fantastic Set of A Level Results
Another year of great A Level results! Congratulations to all our Year 13 students.
15 August 2019
A Level Results day 2019 has brought with it huge joy and celebration for our young people and the staff and parents who have worked with and supported them. A significant number of this cohort began their journey with the Academy at the age of 4 and so this year has brought a particular sense of accomplishment and pride as they attained the greatest number of top grades the Sixth Form has ever achieved and in the process have secured themselves places at almost exclusively top tier universities.
Particular mention must go to Lucien and Liam who secured A* A* A A and A* A* A * Distinction 1 respectively. Lucien is going up to St Peter's College, Oxford to read Physics and Liam to Clare College, Cambridge to read Asian and Middle Eastern Studies.
"I'm really grateful to the teachers here, they really always go over and beyond what's required to help you."
Sixth Form student, Lucien
There were other outstanding performances including Isabella off to do PPE at Manchester, Tommy reading Computer Science at Warwick, Kannen reading Computing, Katie reading Psychology, Shakirah off to Kings College to read Biochemistry, Malcolm studying Chemistry at Leeds, Phoebe who secured a place for Psychology at Warwick, Demelza reading Film Photography and Media at Leeds, Daniel S reading Chemical Engineering, Nicole studying Biomedical Science at Warwick and Mearig reading Mathematics with Finance and Accounting at QMUL. Ana, Lexi and Indira are all taking a gap year. All of these students achieved at least two A* or A grades.
Across the Board students have succeeded in gaining places at Russell Group and other great universities including Oxford, Cambridge, Kings College London, Imperial College, Nottingham, Warwick, Leeds, Sussex, Manchester, Liverpool, QMUL, Royal Holloway, Swansea, Sheffield and Surrey.
"It's wonderful to see individual success stories across the board and we're delighted to launch this wonderful hardworking cohort of students onto the next phase of their lives. They are not only academically successful, they are resilient, determined and charming young adults."
Academic Deputy Headteacher, John Reardon

What do you get when you mix New Orleans Jazz fest partying and Lower East Side NY hipster-chic bars? You get the Mardi Gras Ball at Le Poisson Rouge! Hosted by actress Rosario Dawson, the third annual ball is dedicated to raising funds for the Lower East Side Girls Club.
This great organization (which started in 1996) puts emphasis on educating young inner city girls who are facing poverty, lack of education and other difficult family circumstances. Due to a lack of educational needs for young girls after various mergers (of what is now the Boys and Girls Club), a diverse group of NYC women joined together to form The Girls Club.
The club offers fantastic programs – from arts/entertainment courses to environmental awareness – that work to engage these young girls to have an entrepreneurial and hard-working spirit.
Visit their website to buy tickets (only $20!) for this event and/or learn more about this organization and what you can do to be involved!

I LOVE the QUEENS!
Then SHE came out to perform. I couldn't even tell you what it was about her that I immediately loved. Her song was awesome and hilarious (something about an 8-mile wide vagina). She was tall, beautiful and had amazing legs. She knew her words and wore really pretty clothes. It wasn't what she looked like or what she sang anyway. I knew I loved her as soon as I saw her.
Stephanie Nicole le Dream.
I had never met a real live drag queen before. After the show, I introduced myself and told her she was my favorite. As is my normal course of business, I took lots of photos and videos, since my camera is never far. I uploaded them to Facebook and added Stephanie as a friend. Turns out that in real life, Stephanie is Jimmy. And Jimmy's mom was my nephew's teacher. Small world. When my sisters and I rode horses in the Brentwood Holiday Parade as the Disney princesses a few years ago...Kati was wearing one of Jimmy's dresses! Totally small world.
So now I am immersed in the drag queen world. I am having so much fun. I also go to Club 1220 in Walnut Creek and watch Holotta's Un-BOYlievable Drag Show on Sundays. Jimmy and Miguel came to Twirly Girls and posed in our calendar with the Men of Twirly Girls. They also came back as Stephanie and Vicodonia to perform for Rita's birthday. They are really good, nice people and I am extremely happy that I finally went to that show! Now I have a whole new set of people to call friends: Stephanie (Jimmy). Brynn. Judy (Jimmy's mom). Vicodonia (Miguel) and Michael. Holotta Tymes (Dale) and Robert. Bobbi Pinn (Jeffrey). Saki (Brian). Mahlae.
I had made a goal (since I don't set resolutions) to volunteer more of my time in the new year. I had been looking at the Bay Area Crisis Nursery, but Jimmy works at the Rainbow Community Center, so I think I will start by seeing if there is something I can do for them. That way, I can kind of have my cake and eat it too because I love the time that I spend with Jimmy. He is so kind and positive and I want to repay him for the joy he brings to my life.
So, here is a video of a recent Stephanie performance (and check out my YouTube page for videos of ALL of the ladies -- http://www.youtube.com/lolorashel). So funny. I love this stuff!

Hola Chica! I wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas!ReplyDelete
Here's my first draft:ReplyDelete
My ode to a drag queen
The lights were dim
...The curtains were closed
The excitement around me started to grow
The chattering stopped
The music began
It was finally time to start this show!
I spent the next hour
Completely in awe
The hair, the make-up, the colorful clothes
They danced and they sang
They made us all laugh
With props and their faces and striking a pose
It was at that moment
I looked at the stage
And that was when I saw her there
Her legs went for days
Her outfit pristine
She certainly won't be mistaken for a bear
The show was now over
The lights starting to fade
I see the dollar bills have all been stacked
The wigs will be peeled off
The faces scrubbed clean
The trunks full of clothes will have to be packed
I go tell my favorite
How much I adored her
And how I couldn't quite believe everything I had seen
We laughed and we hugged
We made future plans
And this was how I came to love a drag queen!

Payrolls in the United States rose by 223,000 in May, solidly beating an expected gain of 188,000. The strong result follows the two softer monthly gains, below 160,000, in March and April. In addition to the healthy payrolls increase, average hourly earnings rose and the unemployment rate dropped. Overall, the May jobs report was very positive and supports an optimistic outlook for the economy.
The private sector added 218,000 jobs, above the ADP Research Institute estimate of 178,000 new private sector jobs. Over the past three months, total payrolls have risen an average of 179,000 while private sector payrolls averaged a gain of 178,000. Those compare to 12-month average gains of 197,000 for total payrolls and 195,000 for the private sector. Both 12-month averages are up from recent lows of 168,000 and 166,000, respectively, in September 2017 (see chart). The reacceleration of payroll gains despite the falling unemployment rate is a favorable sign.
Gains were widespread among the private sector industries in May. Among the private sector gainers, construction added 25,000 jobs versus 21,000 in April, manufacturing industries added 18,000 jobs for the month compared to 25,000 in the prior month, and mining industries added 4,000 versus 7,000 previously. Combined, good-producing industries added 47,000 new jobs in May.
Private-services industries added 171,000 jobs in May compared to 109,000 in April. Among the individual private-services industries, leisure and hospitality added 21,000 jobs for the month, professional- and business-services payrolls rose by 31,000, and health care added 39,000 employees in May. Retail industries, which have been erratic in their payroll gains, gained 31,100 jobs in May. Overall, gains were broad-based, with utilities and temporary help the only segments shown posting declines for the month.
The solid pace of job creation attracted 12,000 more people into the labor force in May. Despite those new entrants, the labor-force participation rate dropped slightly to 62.7 percent, down from 62.8 percent in the prior month. The unemployment rate dropped by 0.1 percentage points to 3.8 percent in May, hitting a new low for the current cycle.
Average hourly earnings rose 0.3 percent in May, pushing the 12-month change to 2.7 percent. The length of the average workweek held steady at 34.5 hours. Combined, the gains in payrolls, hours worked, and hourly earnings resulted in a 0.5 percent increase in the aggregate-payrolls index in May and a 12-month rise of 5.0 percent. This index is a proxy for take-home pay and has been growing in the 4 to 5 percent range for most of 2011 to early 2018, providing a solid base to support consumer spending.
Overall, the employment report is very positive. The labor market remains the cornerstone of the current expansion and is boosting household incomes as well as consumer confidence, and suggests a positive outlook for the current expansion. Gains in the labor market have accelerated recently, reducing fears of a pending slowdown, yet the gains remain modest by historical comparison, suggesting that the slower and somewhat steadier gains of the current cycle may help prolong the expansion.

DIY, tutorials, stuff for geeks, all updated when I have the time to spare.
Reading these Lifehacker "How I Work" series posts about famous/successful internet people and the way they work (computers/phones/gadgets they use, where they work, what their home/office desk looks like, what tools/apps/tricks they couldn't live without, etc) has me thinking about a few things considering the way I work.
For one, these people all make me feel and look super lazy and inconsequential. Being a nerd reading this stuff is what I have to assume current day writers feel when reading autobiographies of famous writers past and present. Its almost depressing honestly. Also, I've noticed that like 90% of them use the same combo for their day-to-day; MacBook laptop, iPhone, and paper/pen for their day-to-day todo list. Now, I could never use an Apple product as my everyday machine, not because they're "stupid" but because they're just too simple and "point-and-click" for me. I like to understand and be a part of my operating system and know what my computer is doing and how it works, as well as customize the hell out of it to my crazy dreams. In my experience, most Apple product users can't tell you where the hard drive is in their laptop, they just know its the new 15 inch model and it has an iCloud.
The important and useful information I've taken away from reading these articles is that most successful people don't rely upon a software-based todo list, which really surprised me, given that there's so many out there nowadays. I've tried most of the big namers like RTM, Todoist, and my current one, Google Tasks. Google Tasks is great because there's plenty of support for it and it syncs well since its, duh, a Google product (also it shows up in my Gmail so whenever I have a Gmail tab open I have my email, calendar, projects, tasks, contacts, and Gchat all in one tab). However, there's this disconnection from what you have in your brain in a given moment and what you can type nicely formatted into a software-based todo list. For a little while I've been toying with the faint idea of going back to pen and paper for my todo list, but I can't get past the idea of not having it synced online automatically with all my devices in case I need to modify it or add to it. On the contrary, using a pen and paper todo list makes editing and keeping track of a todo list much easier. No need to open an app or wait for signal to sync your todo list or fumble with an onscreen keyboard to type a quick sentence that would take just a few seconds to write with pen and paper.
What I think I'm going to compromise on is using one of the new project management systems (i.e. Basecamp, Wunderkit, etc) for my long-term projects and keep my short-term todos in my moleskine. I've actually been looking into Trello for awhile and been meaning to throw my projects in there (which are also at this point in Google Tasks) and give it a full-on test run. Here's to hoping keeping my long-term projects in Trello goes well [and doesn't bite me in the ass later].

PORTLAND, Jan. 28 – Canton High sophomore Brian Connolly had three pins and finished second at 120 pounds at the Highlander Invitational wrestling tournament on Saturday. Connolly helped the Warriors finish seventh in the tournament.
With four individual champions and five finalists, Haddam-Killingworth won their third tournament of the season with a tournament-record 214½ points. Gilbert was a distant second with 142½ points – its best finish in a tournament since taking third at the Derby Invitational in 2010.
Connolly had three pins as he earned a spot in the final. He pinned Danbury's Nick Savo in the semifinals in 3:13. In the final, Connolly trailed Trumbull's Jon Kosak by one, 4-3, after one period but Kosak turned Connolly to his back twice in the second period to take command in a 16-4 decision.
Canton teammate Joe Bowman (195) finished third with a 4-1 record. Bowman began the tournament with a pair of pins in less than a minute before losing to eventual champion Colin Hunter of Staples in the semifinals.
Bowman got another pin in his consolation semifinal victory. He took third with a forfeit. His opponent, Aiden Maher of Haddam-Killingworth, had already wrestled five matches. CIAC regulations limit wrestlers to just five matches in one day.
Canton's Donovan Macklin (113) and Sam Beadle (220) each finished fourth. Both wrestlers had two pins before losing in the semifinals. And both wrestlers won their initial bout in the consolation round.
In the 99 pound exhibition weight class, Avon's Ryan Baghdassarian pinned Canton freshman Jack Freedenberg in the finals in 1:52. Freedenberg won twice to earn a spot in the final including a 5-4 win over Danbury's Kevin Pina in the semifinals. Freedenberg had a takedown with 10 seconds remaining to beat Pina.
Canton (10-5, 4-1 NCCC) has a big NCCC match at home on Wednesday night at 6:30 p.m. The Warriors will be hosting Suffield in the final regular season home match of the season.
A win will keep Canton in contention for their first NCCC championship since 2002. Teams earn one point for a dual meet victory and an additional ½ point for each team they beat at the league championship tournament on Saturday, Feb. 11, at Canton.
Going into Wednesday's bout, defending league champion Granby has completed the regular season with a 6-0 record while Canton is 4-1. East Windsor and Suffield are each 3-2. With a win, Canton can finish second in the regular season and be in position to contend for the NCCC title at the upcoming league championship meet if Granby falters.
Canton had five pins and took advantage of six forfeits to earn a 66-17 win over Stafford last Wednesday. For more wrestling news from across the state, go to Connecticut Wrestling Online.

Whether you own a brand-new SUV, a well-used sedan, or any other type of car, after a car accident you might need to get the car fixed or replaced. The question of who pays for those repairs depends upon who is responsible, and the type of insurance involved. If you caused the accident, then you can be paid from your own insurance carrier (provided you bought the right insurance), or you can pay for the damages out-of-pocket. If someone else crashed into you, then generally, the insurance company for the responsible party pays for your property damage. However, if you have good coverage, your insurance company may pay first and then get the money back from the responsible party.
If it's clear who's at fault, you should get paid fairly quickly. If there's a dispute about who caused the car accident, then you may have to wait until the case is resolved. It's always best to consult with an experienced car accident attorney as soon as possible.
My car has damage: what do I do?
Right after a crash, make sure to call the police. The police report will be an important part of your claim, because it can help prove that you were not to blame. It also describes the circumstances of the collision, as well as any details about the crash site. When a crash damages your car, you should take pictures of your vehicle as well. You should also take pictures of the damage to any other vehicles and the accident scene.
After the police have been called, there are three "steps" when it comes to the insurance company:
- The first step is to notify your own insurance company that an accident occurred. Make sure to exchange information with the other driver, but do not talk to the other driver's insurance agent. Your agent will instruct you where you can take your car for repairs. (You should be able to take the car to the repair shop of your choice.) If your car isn't drivable, they'll arrange to have it towed to a repair shop.
- The estimate and repair. If your car can be fixed and the value to fix it is less than the value of the car, then the car repair shop will prepare an estimate. The shop and the claims adjustor who will be paying the bill will then normally negotiate an agreed price to fix the car. If the agreed price meets your approval, then the car will be fixed for the negotiated price.
- Unrepairable cars. If your car was totaled – the cost to fix it is more than it's worth – then you are entitled to claim the value of the car. You attorney can explain that value is normally based on standardized values (such as Kelly Blue Book values) depending on the type of car, the mileage, and the condition before the accident. Sometimes, the value must be negotiated between your lawyer and the insurance adjustor – especially if the car was unique in any way.
If there were any items of value in the car or the trunk of the car, you have the right to claim compensation for their value in addition the vehicle damage.
Additional considerations in property damage cases
There are some exceptions and complications when a car accident causes property damage.
In Tennessee, drivers are required to have $15,000 in property damage insurance. If the driver who struck you didn't have insurance, you can make an uninsured/underinsured claim through your own insurance company.
Generally, whichever insurance carrier covers the damage to the vehicle should also pay for the cost of a rental car until the car can be repaired or until a payment is made for total loss.
You generally have the right to insist that the parts used to fix the car be original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts.
If your car was struck while it was parked, and the identity of the car owner/driver can't be determined, you still have the right to request your own insurance carrier pay for the car damages if your policy covers them.
If you are in a car accident, the best thing you can do is call an experienced Sevierville car crash lawyer as soon as possible. There are a lot of little details that can affect your rights and the amount of any recovery. At Delius & McKenzie, PLLC, we fight to get full compensation for your pain and suffering, medical bills, lost wages, property damages, and all other legal damages.
