Oh No, Not Again! Repeat ACL Injuries
The Anterior Cruciate Ligament, usually called the ACL, is the primary stabilizer of the knee. It is called the anterior or front cruciate because it crosses the posterior cruciate ligament, which sits directly behind it. These two ligaments form an "X," which connects your thigh bone to your shin bone. The Anterior Cruciate Ligament prevents the top of shin bone from excessively rotating and from gliding forward. This protective mechanism limits hyperextension of your knee. A torn ACL destabilizes the knee and causes it to buckle. A torn ACL requires surgery, followed by physiotherapy. Doctors usually suggest a six month recovery period before returning to your sport. The bad news: tearing your ACL increases the possibility of tearing it again – either on the same or opposite side. The good news: patient education via physiotherapy can prevent repeat ACL tears.
What the Research Tells Us
A study presented at the July, 2014 meeting of the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine's Annual Meeting suggests that patient education about modifiable risk factors may minimize the chance of a future ACL tear.
"Our research suggests that a few risk factors such as, age, activity level and type of graft utilized may point to the possibility of re-injury," said lead author, Christopher C. Kaeding, MD of the Ohio State University. "However, with better education about adjustments that can be made, based on these risk factors, patients may be able to minimize re-tears."
From 2002 to 2008, Kaeding and his team analyzed data from 2,695 ACL patients. All patients had a primary ACL reconstruction with no history of contralateral knee surgery. Graft type, age, sport played after surgery, gender, smoking status, meniscal tear status and Body Mass Index (BMI) were the criteria for inclusion in the study.
The Results
The results of the study indicate that 116/2695 had a re-tear on the same side of the body and 97/2695 (3.6%) had a re-tear on the opposite side. The odds of re-tearing the same ACL, decreased by nine percent for each year of increased age. The odds of re-tear on the opposite ACL, decreased by four percent for every year of increased age.
"The study highlights that younger age, higher activity levels at time of injury and what type of graft used (allograft) may increase risk of same side ACL injury within two years. With individuals having higher activity levels and lower age re-tears on the opposite leg were more prominent," said Kaeding. "Physicians and physical therapists need to better educate our patients about continued neuro-muscular training even after the immediate rehabilitation process has ended to help prevent future tears."
Another study, titled "Incidence and risk factors for graft rupture and contralateral rupture after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction," found that risk factors for repeat ACL injury included a return to competitive side-stepping, pivoting, or jumping sports.
One does not need a degree in physiotherapy to see that repeat ACL tears are probably due to existing muscle imbalances, postural alignment and faulty movement mechanics. Your physiotherapist can help you retrain your muscles, and prevent further injuries.

Who Is Robert Ladd? Mentally Disabled Man Faces Death Penalty, After Texas Court Denies Appeal
If Robert Ladd lived in any other state in the country, he would be spared from execution. But Ladd -- a convicted killer deemed mentally disabled by medical professionals -- will face the death penalty Thursday in Texas, where judges ruled he doesn't meet the state's threshold for intellectual disability, according to the American Civil Liberties Union, which is representing Ladd's appeal to halt the imminent execution.
A Texas criminal court sentenced Ladd to death for the 1996 murder of a 38-year-old mentally impaired woman, who was strangled, bludgeoned, bound and burned in her East Texas apartment. At the time of the murder, Ladd was on parole after serving 12 years of a 40-year prison sentence for the 1980 fatal stabbing of a Dallas woman, according to the Associated Press.
Ladd was just hours away from his execution in 2003 when a federal court agreed to hear evidence suggesting he was intellectually impaired. ACLU attorneys cited a Texas psychiatrist's diagnosis in 1970 that Ladd was "fairly obviously retarded" with an IQ of 67. The psychiatrist later reaffirmed his initial determination in an affidavit, stating Ladd's IQ test and "three separate interviews confirmed my diagnosis of mental retardation," according to a statement from the ACLU.
But the courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court last year, have since denied Ladd's death penalty appeal, arguing the 57-year-old man doesn't meet the Texas courts' standards for determining mental disability, guidelines which haven't been endorsed by the scientific or medical community. Ladd is scheduled to die Thursday at 6 p.m. CT. The ACLU petitioned the Supreme Court Wednesday for a stay of execution and to review the ruling, according to the statement.
Texas has executed more prisoners than any other state in the country. More than 500 inmates have been put to death since 1982, according to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Jordan Steiker, director of the University of Texas Law School's Capital Punishment Center, told Al Jazeera he found it "extremely unlikely" the Supreme Court would spare Ladd's life. "I don't think the court seems all that eager to police what's going on in the state courts," Steiker told Al Jazeera.
The Supreme Court has previously ruled that executing intellectually disabled inmates violated the U.S. Constitution's ban on cruel and unusual punishment but has given state governments the scope to determine the standards, Al Jazeera reported.
Georgia inmate Warren Hill was put to death Tuesday, after the Supreme Court refuted arguments that the convicted murderer was mentally disabled. The Supreme Court ordered Wednesday the temporary stay of three Oklahoma inmates' executions, after hearing their arguments last week challenging the state's lethal injection procedure. The high court will decide whether the procedure breaches the Eighth Amendment's prohibition of cruel and unusual punishment, Reuters reported.

It's always hard to decide when to stop crafting, right? How on earth could I make such a mess? I've even been tidying up in between cards!
It's been a wonderful Stamp-a-fair, with tons of ideas and instruction videos. I'll be busy for a long time, because I plan to try out more stuff later. (Maybe I'll even have time to enter yet another card, but I doubt I'll have the time this weekend.) It's already noon here in Sweden, and I say farewell for now!
Edited: I made 2 more cards! :) LOL, didn't I say it's hard to stop? :D

I have some new things coming up and fun announcements!
FIRST — NEW LOGO! (Obviously, I love it) ❤
Second, I will be sharing more recipes from the cocktails I create from my homebar. You know, on the nights we stay in…but still want something a little fancy.
Today, I want to share with you this amazing Gin Fizz that I made over the weekend.
I am currently trying to cover the classics and am working from the book, Death & Co. Modern Classic Cocktails. It is a great resource, if you are looking for one. I am really enjoying studying the art and science of cocktail making and I would love it if you shared your at-home creations. I am going to start using #HBNHomeBar, so feel free to post your recipes along with me!
The Classic Gin Fizz
2 oz. Beehive Jackrabbit Gin
1 oz. lemon juice
.75 oz simple syrup
1 egg white
soda water
How to make:
Add all content to your shaker, with the exception of the soda.
Do a very hard dry shake for 30 seconds or so.
After your vigorous dry shake, add ice to your shaker and shake another 10 ish seconds.
Pour into a coupe or collins glass.
Top with a bit of soda (I used lemon soda water for a little extra somthin!)
Death & Co. says "no garnish" but I like myself a pretty garnish, so I just added a little lemon twist.
TIPS AND TRICKS: Get a high pour over a strainer when pouring your ingredients into your coupe — this will get you a foamier and thicker cocktail!
Enjoy this refreshing, velvety, and beautiful beverage.
PS – don't be afraid of the egg! A hearty dry shake 'cooks' the egg white and there is no worry for raw egg food-borne illness! An egg makes everything better, I say.
CHEERS XO — Chelsea
Last update:
I am working on a new cocktail series that will launch next week! I am excited about it, so stay tuned.

At Dusk As I Urged The Fish Too Bite - Poem by Mark Heathcote
I remember the lake light shining
Like a disk as I fished for perch or pike
At dusk as I urged the fish to bite
Bite a spoon of shimmering bait
I remember bats flitting and circling
Like the insects, they longed to catch
And the ripples left by fish, that had.
I remember the blunt roll-call home
The boathouse like a sarcophagus
With its two well rotten doors
Gaping open; like malnourished jaws.
Awaiting, deaths ferrymen back.
Back to them; keep net shores.
I remember the rolling. Fog, rising
About the gnarled chestnut trees
Billowing-out; into brackish reeds
And then a slice of moon leaping,
Frantic; pulling line from my spool.
I remember the lake light shining
In the scales of a real; living ghoul
Plucked out of the waters fighting
Was a fish that wasn't preschool.

A former Leinster rugby player found guilty of sexually assaulting a performer at a music festival continues to maintain his innocence and has appealed against the conviction.
David Poff (21) drunkenly groped the woman's bottom from behind as she walked through a crowd and told her "give me your t**s".
Poff, who has played for Leinster Under-19s and Under-20s as well as Old Wesley RFC, had denied sexually assaulting the woman at Longitude in Marlay Park, Rathfarnham, on July 16, 2016.
However, the victim, in her 20s, had identified him in court and said there was "no doubt in her mind" that Poff was the culprit.
She said she felt "violated".
Poff, of Mayfield, Lower Kilmacud Road, Stillorgan, was also found guilty of public drunkenness. He had denied the charges.
Judge Patricia McNamara fined him €200 and imposed a two-month sentence, which she suspended for one year.
During the trial, the victim told Tallaght District Court that someone grabbed her from behind.
"He had a really good hold of me. He leaned over me and said, 'Give me your t**s'," she said.
"I pushed him away and said, 'What are you at? Get your f**king hands off me'." The woman threw her drink on him and walked away. He shouted "shut the f**k up, you fat b***h, you f**king slut".
She saw a steward and told him what happened, then reported it to a garda, pointing out Poff.
"A very unpleasant incident may have occurred but it was not my client who was involved," said defence solicitor Tom Honan.
"It definitely was," the victim replied.
"I found him to be highly intoxicated," Sgt Trevor Scanlon said of Poff.
"He was falling into the railings, he barely knew where he was and what he was doing there."
Mr Honan said his client continued to maintain his innocence.
He said Poff, who has no previous convictions, lost his job after he was charged.
The defendant immediately appealed against the conviction.

16 June 2014, Warri – The Naval High Command in Abuja has been charged to direct its officers and men in the Warri axis, Delta State, to be cautious in handling the crisis in Ugborodo community, particularly in its efforts to reconcile the different groups in the community, so as not to become tools in the hands of some individuals who intend to use the Navy to achieve selfish purposes, including the settling of personal scores.
Reacting to the movement of Naval personnel into Ugborodo community last Saturday, Mr. Toritseju Ereku, spokesman of Ugborodo Community for Justice, a community- based organisation, said: "In the history of crises between groups, achieving peace and reconciliation between hitherto warring groups has never been achieved with the application of force."
Ereku said that the present strategy adopted by the Navy to allegedly hoodwink the Ugborodo community to reversing its sanctions on some individuals will only be counter-productive and exacerbate the crises.

If you guessed London you are correct! Well done to Sade and Emily who guessed I was at the top of the London Eye in the first photo - did you see Big Ben down below me? It was very scary being right at the top but my sister let me hold her hand tight!
Tim you were very close guessing Scotland...but I am now in Ireland. Have a look at the photo of me near the castle, this is Ireland. It is just amazing and very very beautiful. I will send more photos to Mrs C so you can see what I am getting up to!
Congrats to Holly for winning the year 5 speeches - if I remember correctly you were talking about how great it is to be a twin. Who was the year 6 winner?
I will check the blog again soon,

I found this really great paper and thought............this would be perfect to use with my Unity Giggle Grove set. It almost looks like they made it just for this stamp set!! I bought it yesterday and had to use it right away. This is what I came up with. The base of the card is kraft and the colors used with the paper are Stampin' Up! Apricot Appeal and Mellow Moss. The ink is SU Chocolate Chip. The sentiment is from the new Growing in Unity set that wasw also a must have. There are so many other great color combos that could be used with this paper. This won't be the last card you see with this stuff. The card was based on a sketch I found on Jen del Muro's blog. I wish I had more of it!! It comes in the new DCWV Fall Glitter Stack-and that stack has lots of other great papers in it too!!Pin It

Naturally anybody who checks out my blog is welcome to read anything and everything on it. But I thought it only decent to inform you that unless you are a classicist or somebody else who knows Latin fairly well (and also some Greek) you are probably not going to enjoy this particular entry. Needless to say, even so you are more than welcome to continue reading it.
In fact, offer a reply!
Earlier in the month a friend and colleague called my attention to a rather odd collocation of verb tenses in a portion of the Pyramus and Thisbe narrative at 4.95 of Ovid's Metamorphoses:
pervenit ad tumulum dictaque sub arbore sedit.
The point of interest here is that scansion shows pervěnit to be present tense and sēdit to be perfect tense. Why this switch in tense from the verb at the opening of the line to the one at the end?
I've been thinking about that Ovid line and the mix of tenses. And I'm going to 'ramble-think' on paper (so to speak) here and sort of free-associate – for what it's worth.
Here is the larger context of M. 4.93-101:
'Callida per tenebras versato cardine Thisbe
egreditur fallitque suos adopertaque vultum
pervenit ad tumulum dictaque sub arbore sedit. 95
audacem faciebat amor. venit ecce recenti
caede leaena boum spumantis oblita rictus
depositura sitim vicini fontis in unda;
quam procul ad lunae radios Babylonia Thisbe
vidit et obscurum timido pede fugit in antrum, 100
dumque fugit, tergo velamina lapsa reliquit.
It occurred to me to list all the finite verb tenses in this section (M. 4.95-101) and see if any pattern emerges:
94 egreditur present
94 fallit present
95 pervěnit present
95 sēdit perfect
96 faciebat imperfect
96 venit present
100 vīdit perfect
100 fūgit perfect
101 fugit present
101 reliquit perfect
One could then perhaps argue that the reason pervěnit (95) is put in the present is simply by a kind of association as the third in a triad of verbs the first two (egreditur and fallit in 94) of which are present tense. I wonder if the metrical sedes are useful guides here: in 94 both present tense verbs are packed tightly at the opening of the line, and in 95 pervěnit then not only is stacked in a portion (the opening dactyl _˘˘ ) of the same metrical sedes but also the same tense, as it were. In other words, the present tense for pervěnit is perhaps to some extent motivated by the desire for temporal concinnity among the verbs. That sēdit shifts into the perfect may simply be a way of denoting that after Thisbe's fraught flight in the night-time dark described with present tense action verbs (egreditur … pervenit), the perfect sēdit should be understood as true present perfect and works like a (Greek) perfect tense where the emphasis is not so much on a past action as it is on the present result of a past action (see Smythe §1946 ), i.e., Thisbe "makes it through" (pervěnit) and 'has sat down' and so 'is (now) sitting'.
[It was, I believe, somewhat of a problem for the Romans that they could not morphologically distinguish between a perfective and preterite action (as did the Greek perfect and aorist tenses). In Latin the two had collapsed into the one morphological perfect, but the perfect certainly harbored implicitly the semantic duality that Greek could so easily mark by using the two distinct morphological shapes of perfect and aorist – it would not be the only case of Graecorum invidia on the part of the Romans! Which is which in any given Latin perfect would be a matter of context – to be sure, the vast number of Latin perfects are aoristic, but we do have examples like morphological perfect vixit that is a semantic present = 'he is dead' (because he 'has lived' but no longer 'is living' and thus is dead].
Discounting Ovid's 'editorializing' (or is it gnomic?) as some kind of intrusive narrator that audacem faciebat amor (96), and his using the durative imperfect (faciebat), we see that the narrative as such then picks up in věnit (96) in, again, the present tense.
If this thinking makes any sense, I might have expected the three perfect verbs (vīdit [100], fūgit [100], reliquit [101]) in the following quam-clause (99-101) to have been present tense. (The present tense fugit in the dum-clause [101] is of course standard syntax for referring to past time (like the three main subordinate verbs of the quam-clause) in a dum-clause (see Allen & Greenough § 556) embedded in an environment of superordinate past tenses. Perhaps there is some kind of stylistic variatio at work here in that the 'you-are-there' presents in the first sentence (93-95) revert to a less breath-taking narrative using the perfects. (Maybe: at first it was an exciting 'touch-and-go' but then she safely escaped into the cave.)
Finally, since Ovid was a supreme master of the hexameter, I can in no way imagine that he 'stumbled' here and did not do exactly and precisely what he wanted to do. Is it possible that his 'graecising' use of a present perfective (sēdit) is a sly homage by this deeply hellenizing Roman poet to those much older poets of Greece to whom virtually every Roman poet owed an inestimable debt of both theme, meter, and – yes – even language.
This was a lot of fun for me, and you the reader are of course entirely free to ignore it all. But it is pretty much the only thing I could make of the matter in trying to offer some reasoned account for the seeming anomaly my friend noted in line 95.
Hope it gives you something to play with. And what do you think?

Windstream Holdings, a communications company formed in 2006 by the merger of Alltell and Valor Communications, acquired 9 companies within 8 years. This rapid growth led to a substantial rise in debt which, together with increasing competition from other telecommunications companies, impacted their ability to service their obligations. It became apparent that something significant had to be done.
The home country bias The International Journal of Economics and Finance states that "in order to reduce portfolio risk, investors should hold nationally and internationally well diversified portfolios." The same source also cites international portfolio theory that in terms of portfolio construction, international diversification should take higher precedence over diversification within respective national markets. However, investors persistently overweight their allocations towards domestic assets. This is known as the "equity home bias."
Franklin D. Roosevelt observed that real estate cannot be lost or stolen, nor can it be taken away. He also noted that real estate purchased with common sense, paid for in full, and managed with reasonable care, is the safest investment in the world. Commercial property is often targeted as a means of accumulating wealth and generating a secondary income. However, "paid for in full" is not something we necessarily agree on, as FDR is missing a key advantage of owning property in his statement, that being the use of debt to leverage returns. {phocadownload view=file|id=98|text=Click here to download the…

Yesterday the Fh spent the day largely asleep, and I began to get concerned that he wasn't actually as well as he had been the afternoon of his discharge. Although the care at the hospital had been wonderful, I did feel that we could have had a little more support in the discharge process - what to expect, things to watch out for, potential problems etc. I quietly rang our practice nurse at home, who had a quiet word with the doctor, at 8pm last night, and she came back to me with the advice to get the on call doctor out to have a check up. I was immensely grateful that a doctor turned out at 10pm last night and came to look him over. It was reassuring to know that he didn't find anything outstandingly wrong, and that he advised us to carry on as we were.
Today the FH has had an afternoon downstairs by the fire, and one of the ladies from the church came and sat with him whilst I made a much-needed shopping trip to town. The girls and I were out for about 2 and a half hours, and the lady from the church managed to keep him awake the whole time! She did very well, and they put the world to rights between them.
He has had rump steak and steamed veg for his supper, and retired to bed with the electric blanket on and the tv. All the pills for the day are done, and we are looking forward to tomorrow. Another day, and a step further into his recovery.
I have tomorrow's sermon spinning around in my brain and I am struggling to get it down on paper - the FH suggested that since I have a clear idea of the message, I should just trust God and go without having written it all down. I am not yet that confident in my own abilities and will be spending as long as it takes tonight to get it down on paper! It has been developing in my mind since last Thursday and I really should have committed it to paper by now, but sermons seem to keep developing even once I have them on paper, and it has been intriguing to see how far this one would go. I know it will change even as I deliver it tomorrow, so I am not too worried, but I do need to get the bare bones of it down, even if it is just an outline!
I hope you all have a lovely weekend, and enjoy the weather we are having in the UK at the moment - today was a glimmer of the spring that I hope is just around the corner...

We had a huge thunderstorm last night; huge! One like I haven't seen in a few years. It was powerful and it was intense!
The thunder was crashing and the lightning cut through the night, and then it came, like a completion of the sky personifying exactly what I feel; the sky opened up and wept - a gut wrenching cry. And as it wept, I felt a release like when I was in high school standing at the top of the train bridge pouring out my heart's cries in the safety of a storm just like this. The odd thing was there was a stillness just before the sky broke open and allowed the rain to fall, like the heaviness just before a tornado.
It's not gone; the grief that is, but there was a release.
I feel like I am being tossed in the relentless waves of the ocean right now, in the wake of a storm. To and fro. To and fro. Flailing like a rag doll. Going under, being thrown around but I must fight.
I am sure the disciples felt much like this during their storm and I think they were just about to admit defeat when Jesus came and stilled the water. I admit defeat. I can't do it. I need Jesus to come, to still the waters.
I cried most of the night last night during that storm and awoke to a beautiful, sunny day. The Bible does say that joy cometh in the morning and that our mourning shall turn to gladness. It also says that we will get back what has been stolen from us at maximum return. I am banking on that. I am counting on the sorrow being replaced by joy(multiplied). I am holding God true to His word because I know that He does not lie! His promises are yes and amen.
FYI: I hate the "ugly cry" hangover. You don't know what the ugly cry is? You know, that cry that comes from your toes, that makes your face screw right up, the one where it controls you and not you it? You all know there's a cute cry, a not-so-cute cry and the ugly cry. I spent the night doing the ugly cry and the ugly cry hangover is worse than any alcohol related hangover I remember having as a young person - way worse!

Zumindest der Preis für den längsten Albumtitel dürfte in diesem Jahr an Neko Case gehen: "The Worse Things Get, The Harder I Fight, The Harder I Fight, The More I Love You" besteht aus 17 Wörtern im Titel und 12 Titeln auf CD (oder LP). Diese pendeln zwischen alternativem Country ("Night Still Comes"), gitarrenlastigem Indiepop ("Man", "City Swans"), wie ihn ihre Band The New Pornographers sonst im Angebot hat, schlichtem, nur zur Gitarre ("I'm From Nowhere") oder a-cappella ("Nearly Midnight, Honolulu") vorgetragene Folksongs und psychedelischem Rock ("Where Did I Leave That Fire").
Ein kunterbuntes Allerlei, das von Neko Cases Stimme zusammengehalten wird und zu dem auch einige Gastmusiker (Kelly Hogan, M. Ward und A.C. Newman) ihren Teil beigetragen haben.
"The Worse Things Get, The Harder I Fight, The Harder I Fight, The More I Love You" erscheint 4 Jahre nach "Middle Cyclone", steht ab morgen in deutschen Plattenläden und ist das mittlerweile sechste Studioalbum von Neko Case.
Case's voice bobs like a carefree duck chillin' on a pond during swaggering closing number 'Ragtime'. It's a bristly, buoyant number splashed with fantasy and Kim Deal-like basslines; there are triumphant trumpets, '60s lounge piano licks (and… clavinet?) that provide plenty of warm fuzzy-belly feelings and bolster self-esteem – just try and forget her mantra of "I am one and the same, I am useful and strange,' repeated ad infinitum until the music halts.
'Local Girl' is similarly addictive. There's light, continental guitar, waltzing blobs of bass and enormous chimes – though the record is intensely intimate and journal-like, the music is grandiose, embellished with all kinds of sonic filigree and intriguing aural trinkets. 'Man' is so jaunty and syrupy and sweet you'd think She & Him were involved – you'd be right in thinking so, as M. Ward does in fact lend guitar to the track. Folk ode 'Calling Card' takes flight through a shadow-dappled copse, showing that whilst Case may be in the throes of grief, there are still enough chinks of light to relish.
'Where Did I Leave That Fire', creeps onto our sonar with submarine blip-bloops and Mariana Trench darkness. Jaws-esque bass heralds Case's chilling voice: "I shook off all the strength I'd earned/ I wanted so badly not to be me." It's creaking with introspective doubt and deals with the loss of identity; Case isn't afraid to warp music to fit her tonal mould. Horror synths and alt. rock axes grind against filthy jazz sax and the shimmer of chromatic piano; above the faintly Gaelic folk drone, she weeps her epic Gothic dirge. 'Nearly Midnight, Honolulu', is bone-achingly furious and distressing (see: "Get the fuck away from me/ why don't you ever shut up?" and/or "My mother, she did not love me,") despite the fact it's a cappella, with only a drop of reverb and layered harmonies/backing vocals detracting from Case's flawless voice. Like 'Hide & Seek' by Imogen Heap, Case summons more than you'd ever imagine using less than you'd think possible.
Case's record comes after a lengthy bout of what she labelled "grief and mourning." Of confronting her inner turmoil, she said: "I had to look inward more than I wanted. It was sobering, and I often felt like I was blurring the lines of mental illness." What was undoubtedly a turbulent time has birthed a record flowing with all manner of emotions, ranging from wide-eyed hope to white-knuckled rage. For Case, this is likely a cathartic effort; it's improbable this path will be revisited, unless more tragedy befalls her, but it's a tremendous listen and a wonderful demonstration of her talents nonetheless.

Purging the body of 'retired' cells could reverse ageing, study shows
Findings raise possibility that a future therapy that rids the body of senescent cells might protect against the ravages of old age
By Hannah Devlin
Mar 23 2017
Purging retired cells from the body has been shown to undo the ravages of old age in a study that raises the prospect of new life-extending treatments .
When mice were treated with a substance designed to sweep away cells that have entered a dormant state due to DNA damage their fur regrew, kidney function improved and they were able to run twice as far as untreated elderly animals.
The team are now assessing whether the mice also live longer and are planning a series of safety studies in humans with the ultimate goal of testing whether getting rid of so-called senescent cells could help reverse a range of age-related disorders.
The discovery adds to a wave of new findings hinting at the possibility of a future in which doctors can treat ageing itself, rather than trying to combat the host of diseases that come along with it.
Such a scenario is now supported by science, according to Peter de Keizer, the 36-year-old scientist who led the latest work at Erasmus University Medical Center in the Netherlands. "Maybe when you get to 65 you'll go every five years for your anti-senescence shot in the clinic. You'll go for your rejuvenation shot," he said. "That I can envision when we reach that age."
As we age, our cells accumulate DNA damage, which beyond a certain threshold cannot be repaired. At this point, cells can either turn cancerous, self-destruct, or enter a semi-dormant state, called senescence. Initially senescent cells were thought to be neutral bystanders that no longer make a useful biological contribution but that are harmless.
However, about a decade ago, this picture began to change.
"It was found that these senescent cells secrete a whole load of junk and they're not just bystanders but have a negative effect," said De Keizer. He compares the cells to the toxic presence of a disruptive student in the classroom who drags down the performance of their neighbours.
There is now growing evidence for the role of senescent cells in age-related diseases, with higher concentrations of the cells being seen in arthritic joints, cataracts and the plaque-lined arteries.
Research published last year showed that removing the cells using a genetic trick caused mice to live 20% longer on average. The latest paper is the first to show that ageing can not only be delayed by removing senescent cells – but potentially reversed.
In the study, published in the journal Cell, scientists used a compound designed to knock senescent cells out of their state of suspended animation, towards cell death.
Two mouse populations – naturally-aged mice and ones genetically engineered to age rapidly – were given infusions of the peptide three times a week for 10 months.
Initially the scientists planned to simply assess kidney function, but a laboratory technician pointed out that some of the balding mice had undergone a remarkable physical transformation.

Happy V day to you! Umm.. I never been to Japan so I don't know...ReplyDelete
Comes really late but thanks! haha
Hope you get to check out Japan sometime.
mhh.. I dont eat meat so I havnt had this problem o: I just ate chickennuggets at Mcdonalds but I didnt feel nauseous.
But please stay onto the d.i.a pants...I dont like these kind of Ma*rs trousers. The shorts are okay but those trousers...meee.
Hope your feeling better <3
I'm sure I ate meat in Japan in summer but it was fine so this is weird.
Haha, I wasn't particularly thinking of going for the Ma*rs pants but I actually like that style, it's very different from other pants~
Thank you! <3
waaa ;.; You both look so cute >.< I wanna bite you girls *bites*
Well I never have been in Japan before so... Sorry mate ;.; I can´t help either;.;
kiss kiss
Hey~ Thanks! I think I look rather worn out and sick, but Purikura all make it up haha. Thanks for checking out my blog, too!Delete
aw and I forgot to say: I hope you get better soon;.;ReplyDelete
It's so nice to hear your back in Tokyo, where you belong!! But at the same time I'm sorry you got so sick. Are you better now? My roommate when I was there last time had something exactly like this happen to her when she ate a steak, though, and it was from a super swank place in Roppongi. So maybe it just wasn't cooked enough. :(
You look so cute, though! I really love your style and I'm so envious you can fit into d.i.a.! Sounds like a definite must get, that. <3
Thank you! Haha, I don't know if I really belong here but... yeah, thanks for saying that. It's weird, I think I had exactly the same thing! First I thought it could have been the Mentaiko spagetthi but those don't sound like they cause a virus infection.
Thanks! I still have to take a picture of wearing them once I feel better :D

With this blog, I try to offer as much information about the reality of living with a lung disease. All the ups and all the downs. The trick is to appreciate the ups but not panic during the downs. What I can't give to you, dear reader, is my personal experience when lungs crash. Thankfully, I have been able to avoid that scenario, so far.
Sadly, a long-time reader of this blog has just lost her husband to an interstitial lung disease. She had shared with me so much about their experiences through the years but especially his final weeks. She asked if I would share important information with you. It is about the whole lung transplant process. I tried to re-write it but she wrote it so eloquently that, after changing identifying information with capital letters, I just pasted it from her latest email. Please read it:
Add to your blog posting about transplants. WE had his first encounter with the FIRST HOSPITAL transplant clinic on April 8. His hands and fingernails were showing clear signs of clubbing. He was on 5 liters of O2. His FIRST HOSPITAL ILD pulmonologist was calling regularly, trying to get the eval going. The transplant pulmonologist turned HIM away. She said she didn't think the eval had to be done on an urgent basis. That he seemed stable. I protested at the time, told her we had no Plan B if he crashed. She was unmoved. The clinic set the next appointment for June. HE was admitted to the hospital with either aspiration pneumonia or exacerbation or both on April 25.
I spoke to one of the transplant pulmonologists the day before HE died. SECOND HOSPITAL had directed me to move HIM to a transplant center. FIRST HOSPITAL pretty much refused. HE was on a lot of IV steroid at the time. That precluded him from surgery.
The update for your blog: FIRST HOSPITAL protocol demands that patients are on 20 mg of Prednisone or less for eval AND transplant. If you crash, any ILD pulmonologist's first reaction will be to reach for Prednisone. A lot of Prednisone. In doing so, transplant retreats as an option, at least here in CITY. It's not enough to get evaluated before you're sick. You must understand how the transplant center interacts with emergency treatment protocol.
It is that last sentence that I think it is so important for us. That is wisdom learned only by experience. She is going through the grieving of her husband yet feels so compelled to make sure this information is shared with us. An amazing woman.

I'm baaaaack
So... how things have been going. Lets get a quick run down.
- Tucker - Gaining weight like a freakin champ. Took him to the doctor on the 2nd and he weighed 6lbs 11 oz. Weighed him last Friday at a breastfeeding support group... 7lbs 14oz. A whole pound and then some in 8 days! Granted, he had had some formula, but still. Hopefully we can get him off of that.
- Breastfeeding - Well, Tucker and I suck at nursing. Babies that are born early have a harder time with it because it wears them out. We've resorted to pumping and bottle feeding until we can get into the groove. Our highs and lows of breastfeeding deserve a post all to itself.
- My Bod - So, I think my final weight gain was 50lbs. Never. Again. Next pregnancy I'm going to hope and pray I don't have to deal with a previa so I'm not terrified to move and I can still work out some without fear. Saturday I tried on some pre-pregnancy jeans that were getting big on me right before I got pregnant. Those things didn't have prayer. Yes, I know I just had a baby 5 weeks ago. I was just praying for a miracle. So, I immediately started LoseIt. Saturday went well. I resumed the Sunday Cheat Day and I will work on my eating throughout the week. The goal is go get my eating under control, then ease my way back into working out. I'm treading lightly because breastfeeding is really important to me and I don't want to jack that up. I can't wait to spend some time with Jillian though. Did I just say that?
That's pretty much where I'm at right now. I'm so glad to be getting back into the swing of things!
And now here is some sweetness for your Monday morning. Some after bath smiles :)

Don't fret-- you will get into a work out groove soon! I love pics of him-- keep them coming! :)ReplyDelete
It took me several months to get back into working out. Kennedy wasn't the best sleeper and I was tired all the time. She's 13 months and I still have 10 pounds to go until my pre-pregnancy weight. I am beginning to think I will never lose them and I am actually okay with it. Love the pic of Tucker, so adorable!ReplyDelete
Look at that face! Adorable! I don't know from personal experience, but I've heard it definitely takes some time getting back into the grove of things post pregnancy. However, once you get there, it will be great! Best of luck with your new routine, getting back to work, and working back into your pre pregnancy clothes! I'm sure you'll be back on track in no time!ReplyDelete

Quick trip to Oklahoma this weekend. One thing Daniel wanted to do before leaving for his mission is to visit family. I wish it could be a longer visit, but we will be grateful for the time we have.
The drive was not too bad. I was a little concerned about leaving as late as we did. I thought the kids had early release for the Thanksgiving holiday, but that was not accurate. We didn't actually leave Kaufman until just after 4:00. The kids and I crammed into the rental with our bags and went to meet up with Kermit in Dallas. I was stressed at the time, but on reflection it was a bit comical. Kermit didn't think our Suburban would be a good choice for a road trip and rented a smaller SUV for our journey. At first the kids thought the newer vehicle was the pinnacle of coolness, until they all had to squeeze into the little bitty thing with all their bags and accessories. I wonder if this is how clowns feel driving their cars. I bet clowns have more fun. Squished kids are not happy kids. They get testy.
After reaching the office and finally getting everyone distributed among the two vehicles going, we were on the road. The slow road. It was rush hour in Dallas. Actually, it wasn't the most horrible rush hour I've experienced. We got through it in a reasonable amount of time. There were a bit of "are we there yet" and "I'm STARVING".
Our usual first stop in in Van Alstyne. There is a convenience store/Burger King/Subway. It is a great place to refuel cars and people. Joseph discovered a variety of exotic jerkeys. He convince his father that these were necessary for the rest of the trip. We spent more on travel snacks than we did on our supper. The latest report is that kangaroo jerkey is no bueno. Undaunted by the less agreeable flavor, the boy's first words to me this morning regarded the need to find the keys to Dad's truck so he could get meat.
Daniel was DJ in the rental. I appreciate him figuring out the new-fangled controls. I also appreciate his taste in music. I like a cappella. Three cd's of BYU Vocal Point is, however, my quota. We might need to find something else on the trip back.
My favorite part of the trip so far: Jacob telling me, "This is the best day ever. Except for the part when I was starving."
I love my family.

Plastic bags and Green IT - what is all the fuss about?
Last month Greenpeace produced their latest quarterly 'Guide to Greener Electronics'. This makes worrying reading. According to this report the amount of electronics products discarded globally has skyrocketed, with 20-50 million tons generated every year. Apparently if this e-waste was put into containers on a train it would go once around the world.
Electronic waste (e-waste) now makes up five percent of all municipal solid waste worldwide, nearly the same amount as all plastic packaging, but it is much more hazardous. Whilst the UK press campaign for a reduction in the use of plastic bags – only a small part of packaging, the focus on technology waste is limited.
The WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Initiative) became law last year to try and address this issue. However according to a survey conducted by Informatics in February only a third of SMEs had heard of WEEE. The responses suggest that many SMEs in the IT and telecoms industries may be neglecting their environmental responsibilities. The report from this work added that SMEs generate 60 per cent of all commercial waste in England and Wales so it is critical that all users of electrical equipment understand what WEEE means for them.
In March this year VNU Net reported that UK consumers and business unnecessarily junk 12.5 million computers every year which end up in landfill, or dumped in the countryside. However, one recycling charity hinted at a lack the political will to do anything about the situation. Currently one on four people dumps their PCs at the local tip. Only one in ten people give their old PC to a friend or charity.
To compound the situation research suggests that the average lifespan of computers in developed countries has dropped from six years in 1997 to just two in 2005.
WEEE may help with recycling – but it doesn't tackle the issue of the toxicity of individual computers. The Greenpeace report names and potentially shames vendors. Samsung comes out most favourably – and Nintendo is at the bottom of the list. More information at http://www.greenpeace.org/international/campaigns/toxics/electronics/how-the-companies-line-up
Gloomy – yes. However, through greater awareness, there is the opportunity for computer users to recycle equipment in an environmentally friendly way and to put pressure on vendors to 'Green up' their products. I would encourage FD's and accountants to add environmental standards to their evaluation criteria when buying new equipment

Book Review: The Art of Racing in the Rain
From goodreads:
Enzo knows he is different from other dogs: a philosopher with a nearly human soul (and an obsession with opposable thumbs), he has educated himself by watching television extensively, and by listening very closely to the words of his master, Denny Swift, an up-and-coming race car driver.
Through Denny, Enzo has gained tremendous insight into the human condition, and he sees that life, like racing, isn't simply about going fast. On the eve of his death, Enzo takes stock of his life, recalling all that he and his family have been through.
A heart-wrenching but deeply funny and ultimately uplifting story of family, love, loyalty, and hope, The Art of Racing in the Rain is a beautifully crafted and captivating look at the wonders and absurdities of human life...as only a dog could tell it.
My Thoughts:
Wow, pass the tissues. Pass them now. This book made me want to come home every night and give Zoey a huge hug and kiss. The Art of Racing in the Rain is about a dog and his race-car-driving owner. It's told entirely from the dog's perspective and he recounts the years he spent and grew up with his owner, whom he loves more than anyone, and how he understands and sees everything that goes on in his owner's life (from a marriage, having a child, and when things turn very difficult for him as well) The dog helps him through the best and worst times of his life. If you're a dog person, you'll love this book - just make sure you have tissues handy!
